While America eagerly awaits the return of Robert Pattinson, he has been spotted in London.

Sparklepants hit up SoHo pub across the pond for an open mic night. He treated club goers to a few of his musical endeavors. A Perez fan posted the above photo of the “Twilight” heartthrob on stage and said that he silenced the room due to his outstanding talent.

Robert is a known music lover and contributed 2 tracks for the “Twilight” soundtrack. He sang “Let Me Sign” (which was a bonus track) and “Never Think” for the film. Check out more of his music HERE.

Miley Cyrus: No Text Before Marriage

January 20, 2009 By Crista Webster 2 Comments

Once again, Miley Cyrus is in trouble with the good Christians of the world, but it isn’t because she wore those ho-hose to Sunday’s service. No, Miley was reprimanded by her pastor for committing one of the cardinal sins: text before marriage. C’mon Rev-she’s just a 16 year-old girl, trying to send a text to her 20-year-old boyfriend Justin Gaston, during your service. What’s wrong with that? I’m sure it didn’t have anything to do with the fact that she often uses this cell phone to photograph herself in various states of undress while striking poses one often uses for their Myspace profile picture.

An insider told Star Magazine:

“They thought they could fool people, but Miley couldn’t stop giggling. The pastor got peeved and pulled the couple aside for a verbal spanking.”

Since a spanking was involved, I am sure Miley and Justin ended up enjoying themselves. They are such a good, wholesome couple. Those crazy kids remind me so much of Jaime-Lynn Spears and her baby-daddy, Casey What’s-his-name. They will no doubt be together forever, or until Billy Ray drains her bank account-which ever comes first.

Paris Hilton Compares Herself To Angelina Jolie

January 20, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Just what does Academy Award winning actress Angelina Jolie and attention-seeking fame whore Paris Hilton have in common? Nothing besides being a female and a crush on Brad Pitt if you ask any breathing soul. But according to Paris they have their resemblances. Hilton told “Fabulous” magazine that she’d love to have Jolie as her best friend because she is strong and uses her popularity for noble causes.

Via News Times of India per News Of the World:

“I love Angelina Jolie. She’s strong but gorgeous and uses her fame for good to make a big difference in the world. That’s a great quality, I’d have a lot in common with her.”

Jolie, the three time Golden Globe winner and mother of 6, is known globally for her humanitarian work as well as her Award winning movies. The closest thing Hilton has accomplished to Jolies’ success is staring in her own movie, helping to drum up the porn industries profit. Unless hell freezes over, I don’t see a friendship blooming on the horizon.

2 Faint at Sundance Film Festival!

January 20, 2009 By Xine Leave a Comment

I don’t know how scary it is to see a baby drink blood, but according to Shock Till You Drop one of the opening films at the Sundance Film Festival was just so darn scary, that two people fainted!!

“Around 1:30am in the morning, I received this e-mail from Adam Green: “Two faints. One outside and one in the lobby. Egyptian [theater] owner confirmed that in 10 years it’s the first time it’s happened. Amazing screening”"

The movie in question? “Grace“–which tells the tale of a baby who is apparently stillborn, but is revived–with an appetite for her mother’s blood. Scary!!! Now I will give you that the poster for the film is beyond creepy, as is the trailer (you can see the blood on the mother’s shirt in this scene). But I don’t think it would make me faint.

As stated above, it’s the first time fainting has happened at the festival, and over the years, very few movies have had such an effect on its crowd. “Saw 3” had a few fainters, but the most notorious, of course, is “The Exorcist“, back in 1978. I personally thought movie-goers now-a-days were so desensitized, this just didn’t happen anymore. Of course it wasn’t stated who fainted, it could be granny, considering the title of the movie…

The Sundance Film Festival is running currently until this coming Sunday, January 15, 2009, with two more scheduled screenings of the film on Thursday and Friday night. Who knows? Maybe the bodies will start piling up in front of the theatres! Now I would pay to see that!

Madonna Before Photoshop – Photo

January 20, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

You either love Madonna or hate her. Personally I once loved Madge and her fashion forward straight up smut hound ways. Now she just tries to hard and instead of being a classy ho has taken the path of desperate granny circa Linda Hogan. These pre-photoshopped, airbrushed outtakes from her “Hard Candy” days will give you nightmares and I think I might have caught herpes just looking these.

You cannot deny that she looks pretty good for a 50 year old, but in every photo she is trying to be a 2o something. It’s just sad.

What Others Said:

Dlisted - “These pictures really just make me want to hand Vadge a big bowl of caramel squares and tell her that getting old is okay and can be fun. I mean, soon she’ll get a discount at the movie theaters! Becoming a memaw has its perks

The Inquisitir – “I wish she’d just hang up the leotard and move on.”

Joaquin Phoenix Rapping – Video

January 19, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

No folks, that title isn’t a mistake. After announcing his retirement in October from acting, Joaquin Phoenix has since decided to try his hand at a rap career, stating that he was ready to put his real self out there and not hide behind movie characters. Sounding more like a comedy movie than reality, Phoenix had so-called Rapper Diddy teach him the how-to’s of rap and Ben Affleck’s baby brother Casey Affleck capturing the night for a documentary about his journey into the music world. Or maybe its just Casey’s way of helping his brother in law through some massive issues he seems to have as of late.

For the skeptical people, Phoenix says he’s serious about his new venture into the rap world. His debut show on Friday night at Lavo in Las Vegas was sensational – if you consider sensational to be scraggly looking bearded man shouting incomprehensible words that are assumed to be rap lines then falling off the stage as he was walking off. Strutting his stuff around the club’s stage, he rapped to the sounds of a drum beat and hopped up and down, pumping his fist in the air during certain lyrics.

Via The Dish Rag:

“This is me saying this is who I am. This is my story. After all the years of reading scripts and reading lines, this is my chance to do something straight from the heart and put it out there. When I was young I liked punk rock music but then I discovered rap. I love the storytelling aspect of hip-hop.”

You tell em, bro! With the crowd cheering him on, Phoenix told the crowd that they ‘held a very special place in his heart’ towards the end of the performance. He said he was ready for the mixed reactions that would come from his performance.

Via People:

“Are there people out there who think I’m a joke? I’m sure there will be. Are there people who think it’s going to suck? Probably, but I can’t worry about that.”

After his unusual three song performance as he was leaving the stage Phoenix fell, falling flat on his rear into the crowd. Later, a relaxed Phoneix spent the rest of the night hugging friends and taking pictures with fans before ending his night around 1:30 a.m. Phoenix’s first album is reportedly being produced by Diddy, with a release date yet to be revealed.

… Joaquin rapping? Diddy producing? Oh my. This just has “disaster” written all over it…

Kelly Osbourne Arrested

January 19, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

The daughter of Ozzy Osbourne was arrested on charges of assault. Kelly Osbourne has already made bail and has to return in March to pay authorities another visit after slapping a journalist who poked fun at her boyfriend.

Kelly and Luke Worall, who is a model by the way, have been dating for some time and were even rumored to be engaged. Osbourne went to stand up for her love and defended him after a reporter British paper “The Mirror” had rote an article insinuating he was stupid and didn’t know what an earthquake was. She approached the reporter told her and exchanged words before slapping her across the face.

“Griffin quoted her saying, ‘I have an issue with you. My boyfriend knows what an earthquake is and everyone has been laughing at him and he’s upset. You better watch it. You better watch it. If you write about it, you better watch it. And then you take the piss out of my dad by saying he’s thick and he’s not. He’s like seriously clever.’

The slap incident took place in late August of last year. Scotland Yard was involved and Kelly was jailed for the incident. She has to return in March to deal with the situation. She will also have to deal with the reporter spilling quotes about fellow celebs. The report spat more venom as squealed that Osbourne hates a few powerhouses in the music world.

“On Natalie Imbruglia you said: “She’s just a bitch”. And Christina Aguilera: “Everyone I know hates Christina. She’s been horrible her whole life.”

What kind of world do we live in? You can’t slap a ho for making fun of your model boyfriend!?! I demand a refund.

Courtney Love’s Daughter Dating Robert Pattinson !?!

January 19, 2009 By Crista Webster 9 Comments

Say it isn’t so!!! OK-I will. It isn’t so. But that isn’t deterring Courtney Love from trying her hardest to land her daughter Frances Bean, a date with “Twilight” hottie Robert Pattinson.

According to the UK’s Daily Mail, Frances Bean, 16, like all other females-and likely a large percentage of males on earth, is infatuated with R. Pattz Sparklepants. And, like any good “recovering” addict mother, Courtney Love is using the remaining 2 minutes of 15 minutes of fame to try to land her daughter a date with the British heartthrob. Courtney has even gone so far as to look for a home for herself and the Bean in London, Pattinson’s hometown.

Via The Daily Mail:

“Courtney thinks he’s charming and handsome and absolutely has to be Frances’s first date, She’s doing everything she can to engineer another meeting,” says a source.

If the mere thought of dating someone who is genetically half Courtney Love alone doesn’t creep Rob out, then surely the fact that dating Frances Bean is a felony would; he is 22, she is only 16. Something Mom seems to have overlooked.

Certainly Courney’s typical ‘motherly’ behavior, like flashing her crotch at celebrity roasts and getting pushed around the beaches of Malibu in a shopping cart, will not hinder Frances’s ability to land the man of her dreams.

Pattinson has been MIA since shortly before Christmas when he was spotted arriving at London’s Heathrow airport to spend the holidays with his family. Don’t worry ladies, I plan to release him from my basement where I have been holding him captive in time for production of “New Moon” in March. He sends his best.
