Jon Gosselin Already Engaged

July 16, 2009 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

We’ve tried kittens. We have really tried to avoid posting stories about this ho and his wife and their kids and the rest of the world that no longer cares about them. Why? We write about celebrities and Jon Gosselin is just a man-a man with a lot of kids. You know, kind of like that one family you went to school with. There was always one; one family that had like 19 kids. And you know what? They didn’t need a camera crew or bodyguards or even a multitude of nannies to get them through the day.

Anyway we have succumbed. Jon Gosselin and his wife Kate split like 30 seconds ago. Already he is banging a much younger fame whore who is obviously using him for paparazzi time and free trips to France. This 22-year old GIRL, Hailey Glassman, is reportedly the daughter of the doctor who performed Kate’s tummy tuck following the birth of the couple sextuplets. Creepy. Is there seriously only 5 women in Pennsylvania?

Now In Touch is reporting that the two are already engaged. Groan. Certainly if this is true, we can expect the couple to pimp the rights to televise their wedding to TLC.

Via In Touch:

“Jon has been telling everyone that he loves her and she loves him, so why waste time?” says the insider, adding that Jon presented Hailey with a $180,000 engagement ring designed by Edouard Nahum — featuring a skull surrounded by four black diamonds — during a romantic getaway to St. Tropez on July 12. “They started dating two months ago and they both just knew the other was the one instantly.”

Nothing says ‘Forever’ like a skull wrapped in black diamonds and nothing says love like an unemployed married man with eight children under the age of 10.

Gosselin was in France to meet with designer Christian Audigier who designs for label Ed Hardy. Apparently, the designer heard the ‘Dad of the Year’ was a big fan. Of course he is-he’s a douchebag.

Paul McCartney on David Letterman Late Show – VIDEOS

July 16, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Sir Paul McCartney appeared on the “Late Show with David Letterman” last night after snubbing the show for and the Ed Sullivan Theater since 1964. He was last seen on the marquee with the rest of The Beatles in a show that would launch the British invasion.

It was more of a serious interview as they chatted about the band and how it got it’s start. It was mostly Beatles talk. They even delved into crazy rumors that had died while shooting the cover the infamous Abbey Road album.

“It was great, we had a great time,” McCartney said. “It was Christmas and I was at home and my phone rang and a little voice talked to me and I said ‘Who’s this?’ you know, kind of guarding my privacy, my private number.

“I said who’s this? ‘It’s Michael.’ I thought it was, you know, a little bit sort of dodgy. But anyway he said, ‘Michael Jackson.’ He said, ‘You want to make some hits?’ So I said, ‘Yeah, sure’ – you know, being of the hit-making variety.”

Of course his friendship with the recently departed Michael Jackson came up. The infamously parted ways after Michael outbid Paul for the publishing rights to a 4,000 song music catalogue. Jackson paid around $47 million for the rights and subsequently received 50% of the royalties.

Emmy Nominations 2009, Katherine Heigl Snubbed

July 16, 2009 By Cara Harrington 3 Comments

Oh, sweet justice is served. Katherine Why-Is-She-Still-Around Heigl was snubbed from the 2009 Emmy run. If you recall, last year she refused to submit her name for an Emmy citing poor writing and character development by the show’s minions. This year the Emmy’s are returning the favor and citing the chain smoking snobbery. (Well, it is just assumed.)

This year, “Mad Men” is feeling the love with nominations in Best Drama Series, Best Actor in a Drama Series (Jon Hamm) and Best Actress in a Drama Series (Elisabeth Moss). Other members of “Grey’s Anatomy” received nods and the resurrected “Family Guy” even was deemed worthy of a chance of an Emmy.

Ouch. How much does it suck that cartoon overflowing with sex jokes is more worthy of an award than you?

Justin Timberlake Faces Off Against Stealthy Paparazzo

July 15, 2009 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

Justin Timberlake is not having a good week. You see kittens, it was rumored that JT was on the ‘short list’ of potential actors to play the “Green Latern” in Marvel’s upcoming big-screen rendition of the comic book hero. He squared-off against the likes of Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper. And as you already are aware, the role has gone to Reynolds who, thanks to his nice six-pack of abs and his legally binding agreement to boink Scarlett Johannsen, is much more marketable than the former boy-bander.

Needless to say, Justin doesn’t seem to happy and unfortunately, he decided to take it out on a poor little paparazzo who was merely hiding in the bushes at a West Hollywood hotel, snapping pics to sell in order to feed him family. OK. I am stretching it a little.

Via Celebitchy:

“There were several photographers there, and as you can see from some of the photos, when they first started snapping pictures, Justin looks really annoyed. Then something happened – we don’t know what. Either Justin Timberlake was in a horrible mood and he decide to take it out on one of the photographers, or the photographer said something nasty maybe, or said something personal. Either way, Justin got in this guy’s face. I would love to see video of this – the way they’re standing nearly nose to nose, I bet they were talking smack to each other under their breaths. Simply judging from the continuity of the photos, I think the paparazzo was the one to back down first.”

We can play the photo assumption game with this one since no one has come forward to state what the squabble was really about. I am thinking Timberlake was confronting the Pap in order to ask him why he wasn’t wearing William Rast jeans. But that’s just my take on it.

Several other gossipers are claiming that JT was annoyed that photogs knew of his whereabouts…apparently, he likes being sneaky. And several more are stating that it’s Timberlake’s own lady, Jessica Biel, who is calling the paps to tell them of the two’s whereabouts to help boost her image and squash any rumors that the two have broken up.

I know how you feel Jessica. I once called everyone in my phone book just to tell them Jackson Rathbone smiled at me in a hotel lobby. It was worth it.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Planned Hook-Up

July 15, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

[Twilight/New Moon Spoof Trailer - NSFW]

Another day, another “Twilight” related news story… Yet again, about a secret rendezvous planned for the two hot stars – and to think, we’re not even officially two movies in yet! Robert Pattinson is reportedly on schedule to wrap up filming on his latest non-vampire flick “Remember Me” in NYC before his scheduled appearance this Thursday at Comic-Con in San Diego to promote “New Moon.” Kristen Stewart, on the other hand, is in a bit more of a time crunch as her filming for the movie “The Runaways” isn’t scheduled to finish until next week – although she’s planning a “whirl-wind” trip down to the festival. You really think something as little as filming is going to come in the way of her getting her hands on her hunky co-star? Psh!

Hmmm… enough time for a quickie-romance to rekindle that spark! Unlike the “New Moon” shooting in Vancouver where the lovebirds were kept at arms length away from each other in separate hotels, this time the hotel arrangements will be a tad bit different — as in, the same hotel in very close living quarters. While the duo will probably each have their own rooms, for appearances sakes I’m guessing, I (along with everyone else) am expecting one of those to go to waste and not be used! *Cue your dirty imaginations here* No word yet on which hotel that will be, but I’m sure some Twi-hards will hunt down their favorite vampire and pictures will soon follow!

Daniel Radcliffe Talks About His Man Bits, Gay Face and Robert Pattinson

July 15, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

I know all you Harry Potter fans are either exhausted from camping in line to see the midnight show of “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” or you are still waiting in line in your best home-sewn robes. So here is a little Daniel Radcliffe for your efforts.

Via Moviefone:

*How do you feel about Dumbledore becoming somewhat of an icon for the gay rights movement?

It’s wonderful. I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that’s possibly why I’m quite camp, and some people think I’m gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome. It’s always good to keep them guessing [laughs]. I don’t go on any blogs or chats or anything, but my friends are demons for them, and apparently someone said “Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He’s got a gay face!” [Laughs] I really don’t know what a gay face is. But I think it’s wonderful that Dumbledore was outed as gay … Half of me thinks Jo Rowling just did that to see if she could piss off the right wing, but I’m not sure how true that is. I think she had it planned, I think she always knew he was gay.

*What do you make of the ‘Harry Potter Versus Twilight‘ rivalry that’s been brewing?

It’s very funny. It’s very much like the ‘Lord of the Rings’ rivalry, in that it was a rivalry mainly built up by the media, for the media. I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they’re all really cool. Did we talk about the rivalry? Did we [ever]. Having Rob Pattinson be in both films is quite funny. I’ve never even seen ‘Twilight,’ to be perfectly honest with you, and it’s actually really interesting to me. Being such a central part of the ‘Potter’ thing, being so in the middle of it all, I have no idea how the rest of the world sees the ‘Potter’ franchise, which is why it’s quite interesting for me to watch the ‘Twilight’ franchise explode globally and have some sense of how people must view us.

Vile Photog Snaps Photo of Paris Hilton Up skirt – Photos

July 15, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Hilton was shopping in Catwalk Designer Vintage in L.A. and, as usual, being hounded by paparazzi and some other gawking men.

A skanky perv went and snapped an up skirt photo of Paris Hilton as she walked down the street after shopping. I thought it only fair to show that sometimes starlets are just airing out their beef curtains for publicity.

Third ‘Bridget Jones’ Movie in the Works

July 15, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Huzzah! I adore Helen Fielding! However, I am nervous as to what this third Bridget Jones plot will center around. Fielding only wrote 2 Bridget based books. (Yes, I have read a book before.) The rumor is that writers are going to be using Helen’s columns from Britain’s The Independent that will focus on trying to have a baby.

Renee Zellweger will reprise her role as the lovable Jones. The film is still in the very early stages and doesn’t even have a tentative title yet. Word is that production will begin by Christmas.

In the words of the great RuPaul…”Don’t f**k it up!”

UPDATE:

“The Guardian says that both Colin Firth and Hugh Grant will also star in the third movie: “The third in the series following 2001′s Bridget Jones and 2004 sequel Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason – will be based on writer Helen Fielding<'s series of columns in the Independent in 2005. The storyline sees Bridget trying to have a baby in her 40s, despite still not being able to decide between handsome but untrustworthy publisher Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant in the films, and steady but boring Darcy, played by Colin Firth."

Dash Snow Dead of an Overdose at Age 27

July 14, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Drugs are bad kids, mmmkay?? New York collage artist, photographer, and graffiti writer Dash Snow has died of an apparent heroin overdose at the young age of 27. News of his death came to light after Earsnot, a.k.a. Kunle Irak, a fellow downtown artist and one of Dash’s best friends, posted his passing on his Twitter page. (Warning — Very explicit language. Continue at your own risk.)

Per Kunle Irak’s Twitter:

“YOU HAD TO INJECT HEROIN RIGHT? YOU COULDN’T JUST… DUDE! I F**ING HATE YOU. YOU ARE THE WORST GUY EVER! FUCK YOU! F**KING TURD! Dude.”

Fellow friend CLAWMoney also posted.

Per CLAWMoney’s Twitter:

“first IZ, then MJ and now SACE – f**kkkk http://bit.ly/k19dW”

Dash Snow was most known for his work that captured the raw and decandant nature of the NYC underworld and art culture, also tagging New York up under the name Sace. His work was exhibited at galleries like The Royal Academy in London, the Whitney, Deitch Projects and Saatchi Gallery. It is being said that his death comes as a huge loss to the downtown art scene. Snow is the maternal grandson of Robert Thurman and was also the nephew of actress Uma Thurman. His death has been confirmed by his grandmother Christophe de Menil who said her grandson was in rehab as recently as March, and has been off of drugs up until late. He leaves behind a 2 year old daughter named Secret.

Up until now, I have personally never heard of him. After his passing, I’ve checked out some of his work. Love him or hate him, you have to admire how unique this guy was. RIP Dash Snow.
