Barack Obama on Jay Leno, Special Olympics Joke – Full Video

March 20, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Barack Obama took his sassy self to Jay Leno. He went on the The Tonight Show and cracked jokes about his secret service and compared Washington to “America Idol.” Obama also made a joke about the Special Olympics.

Via MTV:

“When asked about the bowling alley in the White House, Obama joked to Leno that his average score of 129 “was like the Special Olympics or something.” Although, neither Leno or Obama seemed bothered by the comment during the show, the White House issued a statement apologizing for it before the show aired.”

Egads. Open mouth and insert Prada loafer.

Fred Durst Talks About Britney Spears Romance

March 20, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Fred Durst is reheating the Britney Spears he-said, she-said fiasco over their 2003 rumored romance.

I am guessing this is in order to remain relevant, but Durst is back to claiming he and Spears were in love. If you recall, she and Fred worked to together to write songs for her upcoming album. Things turned gooey and he became outspoken about his lovey feelings for Britney, telling fans she “happens to be a person that I [wouldn't] have thought could make me feel this way.”

Either he was lying or Spears was on damage control. She went on TRL to blast the relationship rumors stating that she “barely knew” Durst. He became irate and fired back via Howard Stern. He went on the shock jock’s show and swore on “his child’s blue eyes” that he was telling the truth.

Durst has reopened the subject telling MTV about his current feelings regarding Britney.

“It just became a fiasco of madness. I always stay true to my heart and true to everything I did and my intentions, and I am in no way a liar.”

Fred also mused about her subsequent downfall. The following 6 years after their alleged affair became a slow train wreck for her.

“I look back on it as very interesting how things have been sort of unraveling for her since… but it is what it is. I can sleep at night knowing I made decisions that I wanted to make. I’m a supporter. I was then, I guess I am now. I just guess at the time it was taboo for a guy like me to be associated with a gal like her.”

Hmm….She went on to marry and procreate with Kevin Federline. I am pretty sure that she didn’t fear his “taboo” factor. Someone get this guy a copy of “He’s Just Not That Into You.” It was probably a drunken one night stand that he turned into some “union of two souls” moment. I’d deny, deny, deny too.

Joe Jonas Racist Photo

March 20, 2009 By Cara Harrington 17 Comments

Joe Jonas has a naughty photo controversy brewing. The Purity Brothers will soon be issuing an apology to the foreign community. Joe Jonas has a ‘racist’ photo of himself making slant eyes according to Gossip Teen. Miley Cyrus recently had a similar photo surface which caused an outcry of angry Asians to claim a multibillion dollar lawsuit. (You can see that Miley Cyrus Racist Photo HERE.)

Let the angry mobs commence onto the lawns of the Jonas Brothers. Ugh…these kids. Leave it to the Queen and King of tweens to piss off China.

Hayden Panettiere Getting Her Own TV Show

March 19, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

The Panty Pirate from “Heroes” might be getting her own show. To which I beg the TV Gods to reconsider.

Hayden Panettiere has been meeting execs to pitch ideas for her own show. While most are calling for her character to be yanked off her current money maker, she will be sticking around the tv world according to on set spies.

Recently she had a meeting at Tower Bar inside L.A.’s Sunset Tower Hotel. This followed a couple of other meetings with top tv executives in the hopes of finding someone to pick up her idea. According to sources, she is just looking to produce the show. Her goal is to achieve Heidi Klum-like status with a fashion related show circa “Project Runway.”

Great gobs of Gucci! May style and good sense win out over the delusions that Hayden could possibly rank herself with Heidi-Fiercest of the Fierce Bitches -Klum. Perhaps she is better suited for “Little People, Big World.” Although I love that show…so maybe someone should just drop a house on her.

Marc Jacobs is Getting Married

March 19, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Lorenzo Martone is the lucky winner of the bi-curious Marc Jacobs’ heart. Martone is the ad exec for Jacobs and his future husband. They always say not to dip your pen in the office ink, but when you are rich and willing to shill horrendous red sneakers with Kanye West my guess is rules don’t apply.

Via WWD:

“The designer and his ad executive boyfriend, who have been together for about a year, will go public with the news beginning Thursday, when they arrive in Brazil wearing
rings.”

There is no word on the wedding date, but I envision Marc as a spring bride. Kilts are also involved, but that is just my assumption.

What Others Said:

Dlisted – “I will raise my mug of Sanka to these two and their stubble beards this morning.”

Jossip – “Hey, maybe they were just giving Jason Preston enough time to buy a box of tissues, a pint of Chunky Monkey, and a pirated DVD of He’s Just Not That Into You.”

Completely ‘Lost’ Recap: Namaste

March 19, 2009 By Crista Webster 4 Comments

After a week off from “Lost”, I was anticipating that tonight’s episode, “Namaste” would be full of both answers and more surprises. Was I disappointed? A little. Not that “Namaste” didn’t deliver some awesome information; I just felt that it lacked that extra kick that “Lost” usually delivers after a short hiatus.

This week began with us seeing how our dear old buddy Frank Lipidis landed the doomed Agira Flight 316. After shish-kabobing his co-pilot, Lipids managed to land the plane somewhat safely on a makeshift runaway on Ben’s old island. Many people are already speculating that the runway was, in fact, built by Kate and Sawyer (and the other “bad people”) during their hard-labor /caged stay at the Isle of Ben during the third season.

Lipidis, being the nice guy he is, tries to get everyone to calm down, but that jerk Cesar, starts arguing with him about looting the buildings. Note to Cesar: pipe down before the fans have you Nikki and Paulo’d, ok?

After being usurped by Cesar, Lipids follows Sun who is following Ben into the jungle. There they play the old game, ‘Who is scamming who?’. Ben wins and his parting gift is a blow to the head with an oar delivered by Sun. Awesome.

Sun and Lipidis hop into a boat and head off to the main island where Sun is convinced she will be reunited with Jin, the love machine (who was looking especially hot this episode, I would like to add).

LeAnn Rimes Cheating – Video

March 19, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

As we reported yesterday here at Hollywood Dame, LeAnn Rimes was caught cheating on her husband with her married Lifetime movie co-star, Eddie Cibrian.

Photos of the two enjoying a dinner date surfaced and the rumors began to kindle. They reportedly had gotten close while filming “Northern Lights” and began a extra-marital relationship. LeAnn took to her site and stated that she and her husband are going through a “difficult time” but failed to deny an affair. Eddie, on the other hand, claimed the story of their date is completely false.

Via Access Hollywood:

“It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship.”

However, US Weekly has answered his statement with a video of the two on a date. The mag even went as far as to get a hold of the $95 receipt for the dinner. Apparently Cibrian paid with his credit card. The video shows the two entering the eatery holding hands. Then while in the restaurant they were kissing and sucking on each others fingers.

Via Us Magazine:

“Twenty-two seconds into the clip (watch below), Cibrian arrives at the restaurant and they walk in hand-in-hand. Then they’re seated — as seen in the center left of the frame — and proceed to hold hands (36 seconds) and kiss (1:47). At the 2:10 mark, Rimes suggestively sucks on Cibrian’s finger. They leave together shortly after.”

I too randomly suck on people I deem ‘just friends.’ Of course it usually ends in a not-so-just-friends situation involving tequila big gulps and an awkward morning.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Expecting Baby #2

March 18, 2009 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

According to this week’s OK Magazine, Tom Cruise and his wife, Suri’s Mom (ok, Katie Holmes) are expecting their second child. Take this for what it is worth. If our beloved tabloids were ever right, these two have been pregnant non-stop since Katie popped with Suri almost three years ago.

Via OK:

“They are deliriously happy that Suri will be a big sister. They’ve always planned on expanding their family. They’re over the moon.”

Naturally, the story goes on to explain that Tom and Katie are keeping the pregnancy under wraps until she hits the coveted end of the first trimester. Supposedly, only close family and friends have been told.

The magazine continues to add fuel to the pregnancy rumors by stating:

“Many observers have already noticed some signals, in particular when the Cruises appeared at the March 11 Tokyo premiere of Tom’s movie ‘Valkyrie’. Katie looked stunning in a Jason Wu dress and billowing hair extensions.”

So wearing a Jason Wu dress or hair extensions indicates that you’re pregnant? This will come as a great shock to Michelle Obama and RuPaul.

Anyone else think there’s a little ‘Xenu Cruise Jr.’ on the way?

March 18, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

At 1:30pm EST today, Natasha Richardson has been taken off life support according to NYC legendary columnist, Liz Smith. It appears to be certain that Richardson was left brain dead following the accident. The family has gathered around Natasha, but has not spoken directly to the public yet. A decision was made yesterday to fly her back to New York, where the couple live, so she can be with her family for what could be her final moments.

Per The Post Chronical:

“Liam is bringing her to New York to die – to spend one last day with her family.” says a family source.”

Natasha’s husband Liam Neeson has been by her side constantly, according to most reports. Her mother Vanessa Redgrave, aunt Lynn Redgrave, sister Joely Richardson and her two sons Michael and Daniel visited her last night at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.

Our hearts and our prayers are with them.

UPDATE – The Dame is sad to report that Liam Neeson and his family have released a statement confirming the death of Natasha Richardson.

Via TMZ:

“Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time.”

New Moon Wolf Pack Cast – Photos

March 18, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

For all you Team Jacob Twilight-ers out there the rumored “New Moon” Wolf Pack cast has surfaced. Lainey Gossip named the following as members of the Quileute wolf pack.

Taylor Lautner: Jacob Black

Chaske Spencer: Sam Uley

Tyson Houseman: Quil Ateara

Alex Meraz: Paul

Kiowa Gordon: Embry Call

Bronson Pelletier: Jared

Tinsel Korey: Emily

This isn’t 100% confirmed so don’t get to excited and spill your coffee everywhere thusly ruining your laptop and outfit. There is still no word on the casting of Leah Clearwater. Vanessa Hudgens was rumored to be up for the role, but either failed to snag it or was too busy hitting up sex toy shops. (Nothing wrong with that.)
