Tony Romo Faints Under Pressure

After getting his own rump handed to him by the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in a embarrassing game, Tony Romo passed out. Us Magazine via ESPN reports that the Dallas Cowboys quarterback was in the shower when he collapsed. Teammates called the medical staff, but Tony insisted he was fine and walked out on his own.

The highly scrutinized QB, who is under the media microscope for failed performances as well as boinking Jessica Simpson, threw an interception and even dropped the ball. The Eagles took advantage of Romo’s butterfingers to win the game 44 to 6.

“Players called for medical staff, who brought in a stretcher, but Romo walked out on his own. Tony then did his news conference but had to be helped from the podium. Sources said he suffered a rib injury in the second half, but he refused to answer questions about his health.”

Looks like Jessica Simpson is going to be stroking his ego for the next month and a half. So much for that engagement ring she was hoping for.

Robert Pattinson Drinking Problem and Rehab

New rumors of R.Patz Sparklepants suffering from an addiction to alcohol have started to brew. But rest easy kids. I am calling BS on the subject.

The “Twilight” sequel, “New Moon,” has started with trouble before filming has even begun. The director for the first film was replaced and cast changes have actors fighting for their role. Taylor Lautner is currently up for the chop. His character’s body undergoes a transformation from a 16 year old boy to a man of 27. Michael Copon is currently after the role of Jacob Black.

Now, rumors claim that Robert Pattinson is headed for rehab thanks to too much partying. He spends most of his free time drinking with friends. Most recently he has spent time at La Conversation, Chateau Marmont and Teddy’s. Rob’s drink of choice is an ice cold Heineken. All of his nights spent drinking are reportedly adding up and are said to be causing issues for “New Moon.”

Life and Style Reports:

“But after a long night at Teddy’s in Hollywood recently, he was especially disheveled for a business meeting about his latest film project, Parts Per Billion. “At least one person at the meeting noted that Rob looked a little worse for wear,” reveals an insider close to the actor’s camp.”

Other issues for the vampire saga include Pattinson’s costar, Kristen Stewart, smoking pot. Stewart was photographed lighting up a bowl on her front porch. [Click Here for Kristen Stewart Smoking Pot Photos]

He is a 22 year old with gobs of cash. Do you honestly think he is going to sit at home and knit? He is no where near the doors of rehab and who hasn’t gone to work after a rough night of drinking games and Twister with your entourage? Besides drinking some beer at a bar is way better than snorting blow off of Lindsay Lohan’s belly button.

John Lennon Laptop Commercial – Video

John Lennon was killed 28 years ago, but managed to lend a posthumous appearance in a commercial. A foundation that supports getting children all over the world a laptop use Lennon‘s powerful image to spread their message. The “One Laptop per Child” Foundation was created in 2005 after the solar-powered XO laptop was created. The goal is to outfit every child with a computer according to Reuters.

“Imagine every child no matter where in the world they were could access a universe of knowledge. They would have a chance to learn, to dream, to achieve anything they want,” a voice and video image of Lennon has been created to say.

“I tried to do it through my music, but now you can do it in a very different way. You can give a child a laptop and more than imagine, you can change the world.”

Ummm….I am pretty sure those Cambodia children, who lack internet connect, would prefer food or vaccines over a porn machine. Just a thought. Also…how creepy!

Christina Aguilera Topshop Clothing Line

If you were feeling like the world just didn’t have enough lame skinny pants in the world, you can now rest easy. Christina Aguilera will be coming to the rescue and cranking out her own fashion line.

With the help of Topshop, the U.K. based fashion house, a line will soon be outselling Kate Moss’s collection. The creator of Topshop, Sir Phillip Green, has been making efforts to secure Christina’s line in a million dollar deal. The idea is to “appeal to a younger crowd” than the veteran super model.

“Sir Philip has started talks with Christina and hopes to sign a deal soon. She has visited his offices in London and they are thrashing out the details,” says a source.

“Philip loves her style and believes she would add something new to Topshop. Christina is the blonde bombshell who is into pop whereas Kate is the rock chick and model.”

Ahhh, yes. Topshop featuring Aguilera’s idea of style. Home of the tacky, where camel toe’s are bountiful and gaudy plastic belts adore every outfit. Peg Bundy would be in heaven. Why, oh why does everyone with a stylist feel the need to crank out $20 scarves and silk screen printed t-shirts? That’s like saying….oh… I put a band aid on my finger after cutting myself so now I’m a brain surgeon. Sign me up for “Grey’s Anatomy” while we’re at it.

Ciara Steals Beyonce’s ‘Diva’

Just days after Beyonce leaked her video for ‘Diva’ to the net, Ciara follows suit. A source stated that the R&B singer re-released the song without Beyonce’s sign off or approval. Ciara even adds lyrics that take a small jab at the wife of Jay-Z.

“I know you know about that diva diva named B. While I’m at it, I’mma tell ya ’bout this diva named C.”

Ciara is pimping her “mixtape” that is due to hit town next month. “Fantasy Ride” will drop on January 5th.

I didn’t realize that anyone would have the female version of testicular fortitude to steal something for Beyonce. I just have a feeling that the couture is about to hit the fan.

Christina Aguilera “Falling in Love Again” Leak, Plus Lyrics

This is a slightly rough leak of Christina Aguilera’s song “Falling in Love Again.”

[Christina Aguilera - Falling in Love Again]

The song is featured in the film “The Spirit.” Basically someone bootlegged the song by recording it while watching the film. Hence the background noise.

Here are the lyrics as promised:

Falling in love again… I never wanted to
What am I to do, I cant help it
Love has always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way, I cant help it

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn I know I’m not to blame
Falling in love again I never wanted to
What am I to do, I cant help it
