Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor battery after laying into a photographer at LAX last night who got a little too close for his comfort. Tyson was traveling with his 10-month-old daughter and his wife, and his representative claims that Tyson acted in defense against an “overly aggressive” photographer in order to protect his daughter after the photographer struck him in an apparent attempt to provoke him.
Per LA Times:
“Mike acted in self-defense as a father protecting his child,” said Tyson’s spokeswoman Tammy Brook.
The photographer claims that Tyson punched him in the face and tried to take his camera. Police arrested Tyson and photographer Tony Echevarria, who was also booked for misdemeanor battery after the incident. After Echevarria hit the ground, he got up and walked away leaving a trail of blood on the floor from a minor cut to the forehead. While Tyson was taken from the scene in a squad car, an ambulance was called for Echevarria, who was taken to a local hospital for treatment receiving 5 stitches. Both Tyson and Echevarria reportedly performed citizen’s arrests on eachother and want to press charges against each other, but there seems to be a lot of different versions of what happened.
“There’s a lot of different versions to the story,” Sgt. Jim Holcomb said.
Echeverria’s camera was booked as evidence and police also were checking if there was any surveillance video of the incident. Tyson was cooperative as he waited in a holding cell at the airport police station, with bail being set at $20,000. Both men were released without any restrictions and free to go wherever they want. Due to the incident, Tyson could be facing prison time if charges are filed because it would be a violation of his probation in Arizona. Tyson was arrested on felony cocaine possession and misdemeanor DUI charges there in 2007. He was given three years probation and per the terms of that probation, could not violate any laws. If charges are filed against Tyson, he could be looking towards at least 2-and-a-half years in State Prison.
If everything is confirmed, this will be Tyson’s 45th victory by knockout. Echevarria got off easy. He may have gotten a cut to the forehead, but at least he didn’t get his ear bitten off.

Charla Nash, who miraculously survived an attack by her friend’s pet chimpanzee, reveal the mangled remains of her face today on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Charla, who has been residing at the Cleveland Clinic since the attack seems to be pleasant and in high spirits despite the fact she has lost both her eyes, hands, and nose.
Via ABC News:
“I don’t ask a whole lot about my injuries. I know that I have my forehead,” she told Winfrey.
Nash is forced to ‘drink’ her meals through the small hole that remains where her mouth once was.
Her doctors are baffled that Nash managed to survive the attack.
“The monkey had ripped off her entire upper jaw, had ripped off her nose, which as hanging by a thread,” said Dr.Kevin Miller, who treated Nash when she taken to the emergency room. “We found extensive dirt, chimp fur, and chimp teeth implanted in her bone.”
Travis, the chimpanzee who attacked Nash, was shot and killed by police who responded to the 911 call Nash’s employer (and owner of the chimp) made during the attack.
UPDATE – Charla Nash will be on Oprah Wednesday March 17th, 2010. Check your local listings for time and channel.
**The photo is a little disturbing so I have put it after the cut. To Charla Nash’s Face Click “Read More…”

For the brave few Twi-hards that decided to camp outside of The Dorchester Hotel in London on Wednesday waiting to catch a glimpse of their favorite vampires and werewolves, Christmas most definitely came early. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and “New Moon” director Chris Weitz were forced to evacuate the hotel when a fire alarm went off around lunchtime, forcing everyone outside.
Per MTV:
“Everyone was out on the street. There Rob was with his entourage, including Kristen.”
A Dorchester Hotel spokesperson called it a “minor incident” although for those lucky few Twi-hards camped outside, it was probably better than free tequila shot night at the local bar. The actors were said to be at the hotel giving press interviews at the time the fire alarm went off. And how much you want to bet that alarm was pulled by one of the campers? Hmmmm….

Carrie Prejean continues her assault on intelligence, tolerance and general likeability. Of course dumb ho was shilling her book and talked about how her hero is Sarah Palin. Oh lawd. This is about as surprising as George W. Bush saying his hero is the Hamburglar because he gets to wear a cap and eat Big Macs all day. I’m surprised Carrie didn’t add: “Yes, Larry! Sara is fab and I recently took her class on how to hide your teen daughter’s pregnancy to spare my career.”
Prejean then goes on to tell Larry he is “being inappropriate” when he asks about her personal reasoning for settling her case against the pageant officials for firing her. I’m sorry, but is the sex tape calling father time a slut!?!
She then attempts to remove her mic and storm off but FAILS miserably and I almost felt a tinge of pity for her then I remember how sad and ignorant this girl is. Prejean gets her mic off and then sits in the studio sulking like a spoiled child after being told they couldn’t have a cookie.
Truly we all know why she settled. Her wallet was hungry and when you wave $20 and years supply of brightly colored cardigans under a future channel 5 weather girl wannabe’s nose…you know she will do anything.
Did you dust off your bolo ties and lap steel guitars last night and watch the 2009 CMA’s? Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley hosted the awards show for all things country music related. Of course the night couldn’t go by without a few digs at Kanye West. Yup, everyone is still bitter and not yet over it. Underwood and Paisley took the song “Mama’s Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys” and changed the lyrics. Instead they used the opportunity to further shame West.
[Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Kanye - Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley 2009 CMA Awards - Video]
‘Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be Kanye.’ ‘Let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks, ’cause cowboys have manners, they don’t interrupt.’
After Taylor Swift hosted Saturday Night Live where she again took a dig at the “Love Lockdown” rapper, she didn’t hesitate to add another swipe as she won for best female vocalist.
‘I want to thank every single person in this room tonight for not running up on this stage during this speech – thank you.’
Later, as Carrie and Brad continued hosting duties, she mentioned to her co-host that his vid for “Welcome to the Future” was in fact the ‘best video of all time,’ 88-year-old country veteran Little Jimmy Dickens wobbled up on stage and interrupted.

“Excuse me! Excuse me sir – I’ll let you finish later. Now Brad Paisley, I know you had a nice video and all that, but Taylor Swift made the best video of all time!”
He also added a “you go gurl!” before strutting off the stage.

In another small glimpse into the tortured and messed up life of Lindsay Lohan, another taped phone call between parents Michael his ex-wife Dina has surfaced, in which Dina admits that Lindsay is a cutter. Rumors that Lindsay was causing harm to herself over the past few years began after multiple photographs revealed fresh cuts and old scars on her wrists and arms, a tell-tale sign of self-mutilation. HollywoodDame first reported on this a couple months back (You can read about that here), but it appears the cutting has been going on for quite some time as the audio recording released is back from 2008. In the conversation Michael and Dina both acknowledge how bad their daughter’s problems have become, but both deny they either of them are at fault. Michael tells Dina that he represents the bad things in Lindsay’s life but his ex-wife interrupts.
Per Radar:
“Her cutting herself and hurting herself? Yeah, it’s bad Michael, it’s bad.”
Dina then admits that she feels like Lindsay’s in a dire situation and that something bad is bound to happen to her.
“I know it’s gonna happen,” Dina says. “If something happens I will feel that it’s all your fault, that’s how I will feel, it’s not about me.”
“And I’ll feel that it’s everybody else’s fault,” Michael responds.
The estranged exes then continue to bicker more about whose fault it is. Michael’s says that earlier leaks of phone conversations are proof that Lindsay needs help and were slammed by Dina, who along with her daughter have also threatened legal action. He claims to be releasing these conversations as a way to push his daughter into rehab to get some help.
“I admit, I’m being a bit selfish in releasing the tapes,” he told us. “But I’m tired of being lied about. I’m tired of Dina and others making me out to be someone I’m not, so now I’m going to prove to the world who the real liars are.”
The latest phone recording is just one of several tapes released by Michael over the past week. Previous recordings have revealed a crying Lindsay on the verge of a breakdown calling out for help and about an alleged secret relationship with Heath Ledger around the time of his death (You can read about that here.) How could Dina know and look at her arms and do nothing about it? She knows its real bad but yet says she wouldn’t be at fault if anything happens to Lindsay? News Flash Dina – you will be 100% at fault for doing nothing! Without any kind of help, Lindsay will most likely self-destruct within the next 18 months or less. She never stood a chance with parents like these.
