Katy Perry Hooks Up With Russell Brand & John Mayer

September 15, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Katy Perry was caught making out with Russell Brand after the MTV VMAs Sunday night, so I guess she likes kissing boys too! Perry was spotted sucking face with MTV Video Music Awards host at Lady Gaga’s VMAs afterparty, after the British sex-hound joked onstage that he had the hots for her.

Per NY Post:

“They were sitting very close together, flirting and whispering to each other with their faces very close. Then Russell leaned in for a long kiss. It didn’t look like this was the first time. He was looking extremely pleased with himself.”

She was probably just a little tipsy and his way of picking up women is to talk about them onstage. Perry was also rumored to have hooked up with John Mayer over the beginning of the weekend, locking lips with Mayer at Golds Bar. But what about her boyfriend, Travis McCoy? The thing we heard about Katy Perry’s love life was that she was reunited with her longterm boyfriend of the band Gym Class Heroes. Trouble in paradise already? Boy – Perry sure does get around! Is it time to mail a bio-hazard for her yet?

Bea Arthur Remembered

September 15, 2009 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

2009 has been a bitch of a year. We have lost many, many talented (and not so talented) celebs and icons.

Though you may scream Michael Jackson was the greatest loss of ’09, I beg to differ. For me, there was no loss as great-and likely never will be-as the loss of Beatrice Arthur.

Bea Arthur was more than a ‘Golden Girl’. She was a true icon, an envelope pusher, a comedic-genius in a world dominated by men. She was a force.

And last night, hundreds gathered at Broadway’s Majestic Theatre to honor the late Bea Arthur in the most fitting way possible: By telling stories using dirty words.

The best story of the night undoubtedly came from fellow ‘Golden Girl,’ Rue MacClanahan who told the packed theater about the time Bea invited her and her husband, Morrow Wilson, to the opening of her one woman broadway show.

Via People:

“McClanahan said an intoxicated Bea told Wilson when he introduced himself to her, “Rue, I love.” But when McClanahan quoted Arthur’s description of another costar on Golden Girls (‘Betty’s a c—’), an audible gasp ricocheted through the crowd – before it erupted into the longest and heartiest laugh of the afternoon.”

Only Bea Arthur could call Betty White teh dreaded “C” word and get away with it.

She was THE BEST!

Sylvester Stallone OD’s on Plastic Surgery and Covergirl

September 15, 2009 By Cara Harrington 4 Comments

*Please give a warm and tingly welcome to Hollywood Dame’s new intern team MK Rossi*

Move over Ellen DeGeneres, looks like Covergirl has a new spokes model…I don’t think Sylvester Stallone even looked this bad after the beating he took in Rocky I,II,III and IV all put together. The 63 year old was seen at the Venice Film Festival receiving the Jaeger-Lecoulture Glory To the Filmmaker Award having a slightly orange and frozen complexion, think of an oompa loompas snorting pixie sticks.

The orangey complexion was said to be due to heavy make-up (so I am guessing after this story gets out, someone’s make-up artist is getting the boot) and the inaction of his eyebrows when he went to raise them was alleged to be cause by some plastic surgery. Not a wrinkle was seen on his forehead, which is amazing for a 63 year old… guess he has been kicking around beauty tips and tricks with Joan Rivers.

During the presentation, there was a premiered screening of the Stallone’s new movie, The Expendables, which was written by, directed by and starring Stallone; giving Stallone lovers (not sure how many are left under the age of 30) a sample of what to expect.

The only person who can actually steal this spotlight for plastic surgery OD would be his counterpart in the upcoming movie, Mickey Rourke, who is staring in the film. Mickey, who has been up on the chopping block for some time now for his plastic surgery disaster and has obviously been giving advice to the movie star; let us hope this is as far as Stallone will listen.

Other cast members that will be starring in the movie cast include Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren and Jason Statham (who I have the biggest crush on, there’s nothing better than an action movie , a hot guy and doing martial arts). “The Expendables” is a story about a group of mercenaries who head to South America on a mission to bring down a dictator. Really I have to see the trailer on this movie because I have a hard time picturing a movie and it’s intend theme when you put together Stallone, Rourke and Li.

And seriously who is going to be able to take him serious in the next installment of Rambo with this imagine in our head?!?

Kayne West on Jay Leno – Video

September 15, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

This shiz is still going on. If you have no idea why Kanye has to apologize, you can click here or here (it will open in a new window) to get a video recap on his Taylor Swift MTV VMA debacle. Or to sum it up…he metaphorically slapped a kitten.

Kanye West took his sad self to perform with Rihanna and Jay-Z on Jay Leno. He appeared to play the pity card and the subject of his mother who passed away during a beauty related operation. He had to compose himself after Jay asked what his mother would have thought of his behavior.

While he seemed serious I would like to remind everyone that his publicists pre-approve all questions to be asked during ALL interviews. So he knew the subject of his mother would be coming up. Take that fact and come to your own conclusion.

Celebrities Twitter Patrick Swayze Sentiments

September 15, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

It is a sad day morning. Patrick Swayze died Monday after battling with pancreatic cancer for just over a year. The “Dirty Dancing” star revealed in March of 2008 that he was diagnosed with the deadly form of cancer. Despite being very ill, he continued working on his latest project for A&E called “The Beast.” It ran for 13 episodes before the network opted not to renew for a second season. Later he would go on to tell Barbara Walters he was hoping to live at least 5 more years, but would realistically get two. Sadly, at the tender age of 57, he passed away surrounded by loved ones.

“Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months,” said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf.”

Personally one of my favorite films he brought life to was “To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar.” He will always be my Ms. Vita Boheme.

Celebrities have also jumped on Twitter to talk about the loss of this great actor.

Patrick you are loved by so many and your light will forever shine in all of our lives. In the words of Sam to Molly. ‘It’s amazing Molly. The love inside, you take it with you.’ I will miss you.”
– Demi Moore

• “I will always cherish my amazing memories of Patrick … we had so much fun together … come back soon, Patrick, we need you here on earth.”
– Kirstie Alley

• “He fought the bravest battle and sadly lost. My heart goes out to his wonderful Lisa, his wife and soulmate for 34 years.”
– Barbara Walters

• “Patrick Swayze was a kindred spirit and a spiritual brother of mine. His focus was center target and his purpose was … faith, kindness, grace, understanding and love. Patrick Swayze’s Book of Life will never be over because he’s moved on to the spiritual plateau where life is forever.”
– Gary Busey

• “RIP Patrick. You were a great talent. And more importantly … a true gentleman.”
– Alyssa Milano

• “I have a great deal of faith in faith; if u believe something strongly enough, it becomes true for u. Patrick Swayze RIP.”
– Amanda Bynes

• “RIP. My heart hurts”
– Emily Rossum

• “He was so brave & he fought so valiantly”
– Rose McGowan

• Patrick fought the ultimate fight as passionate as he embraced his life … with strength, dignity and grace. His love of his work and family was inspirational. He touched so many.”
– Ralph Macchio

• “Not only did we lose a fine actor today, I lost my older Outsiders brother. My heart goes out to not only his entire family, but all his fans as well.”
– C. Thomas Howell

Swayze was an icon and will be dearly missed.

In honor of Mr. Swayze’s incredible resume, please leave word as to what role was your favorite. I’m torn between Johnny from ‘Dirty Dancing’ and my undying love for ‘The Outsiders’ and his role as Darry Curtis.

He will be missed.

David Beckham Mid-Game Ball Fondling – Photos

September 14, 2009 By Crista Webster 2 Comments

I am so sick of the VMAs. I am tired of Kanye and Gaga and a night that was supposed to be in honor of the legacy of Michael Jackson that has since turned into an evening of whiskey and douchebaggery.

I am not sick of David Beckham. I will not ever be sick of David Beckham, even if he changed his name to Lady Gaga, dressed in Kermit the Frog heads, and slugged whiskey while patting the toush of a bald lizard. Never.

He’s amazingly outstanding.

And there he is, adjusting his manliness, taking off his jersey and giving us what we want. All sweaty and tatted-up. Scruffy-faced, yet coy. Oh la la.

There’s no real story attached to these pics, but I did just make you stop thinking about Taylor Swift for five minutes. You can thank me later.

What Really Happened at the VMA’s: A Seat Filler’s Story

September 14, 2009 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

While the majority of people were busy enjoying the douchery of Kanye and the tightness of Russell Brand’s lady pants, the rest of the world had better things to do. Some watched the season finale of ‘True Blood’, some watched football, and some went to bed early.

Although I am way too old to enjoy any part of MTV, I watched. Why? Robert Pattinson my friends….the boy makes it quiver.

A few lucky people had the job of a daytime (you know they are holding out on becomming celeb bloggers) by filling seats at last night’s festivities. And naturally, some of them have already taken to the internet to let us know what was really going down.

Via Oh No They Didn’t:

“*When Lady Gaga came in she was holding hands/being propped up by someone as she walked. She didn’t talk to any of the fans. She was extremely diva like, but in a good way. Instead of being pissed of or offended it was more like people were viewing as an art piece or a rare animal in zoo.

*The house band, I really wish I could remember their damn name, said and-I-quote “Is Tila Tequila here? Heh, tell her to go HOME!”

*Madonna’s “heartfelt” speech was all read off a teleprompter. Obviously.

*When Pete Wentz came in the Hall one of a male seat filler asked where Ashlee was he said Melrose wouldn’t let her take time off.

This adds to my theory that Gaga is really a wax figure on loan from Madame Trousseau’s.

“Kanye was taken aside after the Taylor Swift incident by his handler/manager and then MTV exes joined the conversation. Though I cannot say for sure, I would not be surprised if his apology was not heartfelt at all (cough) but in fact mandated from above. The TV feed does not do justice to how much the audience was booing every time Kanye’s name was said.”

If Kanye’s management wrote that crap he posted on his website, it might be time to purchase his team Hooked on Phonics.

“Megan Fox is TINY like not just skinny tiny, but shoulder-to-shoulder tiny.”

One needs to be small to fit in the trailer park.

“Ashley Greene kept pestering security to add someone’s number into her phone. They kept on refusing her, much to her chagrin.”

I really hope it wasn’t Kanye’s.

And finally…

“I have not seen the entire TV broadcast but Faye Dunaway was there (wtf?!)”

What? She is a classy and hip broad who probably is after Russell Brand. Just a guess.

Lil Mama Crashes Jay-Z’s and Alicia Keys’ MTV VMA’s Performance

September 14, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

The MTV VMA’s evening ceremony seemed to be full of unexpected stage invaders! Rapper Lil Mama, who is also a judge on the popular show “America’s Best Dance Crew,” decided to appear on stage unannounced and uninvited, during a performance by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, at last night’s 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Jay-Z just managed to keep his cool and carry on rapping despite looking surprised, trying subtly to get Lil Mama to take herself off his stage by tapping her on her leg, even throwing in a quick joke her way.

Per MTV:

“You T-Paining right now,” Jay-Z said, while Keys finished her chorus. The line refers to T-Pain jumping onstage with Jay-Z at Summer Jam during his “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)” performance.

Lil Mama would not budge, and stayed onstage throughout the entire performance. It was during his and Alicia’s performance of “Empire State of Mind,” that Lil Mama, just got up from her seat, got up onto the stage and started bobbing her head to the beat. When the song was over and it was time for Jay-Z and Alicia to take a pose, Lil Mama decided to join in. She stood beside them and was even seen to do a b-girl pose right next to them.

First Kanye then Lil Mama? Who the heck was in charge of security last night? The impromptu appearances are quite entertaining but rest assured security will be a little tighter next year.
