Robert Pattinson ‘Water for Elephants’ Set PHOTOS

July 8, 2010 By Crista Webster 5 Comments

Yes, I admit it-I have a Robert Pattinson problem. It’s clearly out of control. I mean, I don’t even have a story to go along with these pictures from his new movie ‘Water for Elephants.’ Really.

But damn. Isn’t he cute?!?

And now he’s running around with a dog?!? I know. Seriously. A man and a dog. All he needs to do is vacuum my living-room and IT IS ON.

As you may know I refrain from reading, but apparently this film is based on a book of the same name. It’s about a guy, Pattinson, who drops out of veterinary school when his father dies and joins some traveling circus where he promptly starts boinking the ringmaster’s (played by Oscar winner Christoph Waltz) wife (played by Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon).

I guess there’s a scene where the animals go bat shizz crazy and start killing people. Maybe this is the scene and Pattinson’s character throws himself in front of a charging wildebeest to save this pup. Or something. Does it matter?!

Lindsay Lohan Asking For $1 Million For Jail Interview, Lawyer Quits

July 8, 2010 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Ho don’t come cheap! As the cold, harsh reality of Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming jail sentence sets in, she’s setting her mind on other things – such as pocketing a few bucks after she’s sprung from jail. She is set to serve a 90-day sentence (read about that here), however if it will be the full 90 days remains to be seen. According to a new report, Lohan is allegedly looking to receive $1 million dollars for her first post sentence interview.

Per PopEater:

“Expect to see a major TV and magazine deal,” a source close to Lindsay tells me. “Lindsay might have made a lot of mistakes, but she knows how much her first interview is worth. She won’t even consider offers of less than $1 million.”

So this will be her gig now, right? It will be her cash cow, like weight is for Kirstie Alley? In and out of jail, reality shows, and endorsements at every stop? According to Popeater, Lindsay has already made herself very clear on the matter, knowing that people will be desperate to hear her tale from behind bars. Cashing in on a post-jail interview sounds like a good idea for the cash-strapped Lindsay, although I’m sure it will be filled with tons of ‘It’s not fair!’ and excuses as to why none of this is any fault of her own. Lately, Lindsay’s main sources of income have been paid appearances and tweeting for cash, which pay no more than a few thousand a pop. But jailhouse confessions? Those are really worth something. But if we remember the Paris Hilton incident, all media outlets kind of refused to pay and she spoke with Larry King for free. So… I wouldn’t spend your money before it’s in your hands, Lilo. In Lindsay’s case, it’s still scummy to take the money, but girlfriend needs it bad!

If I go to jail, I end up with a few broken ribs and a black eye. If Lindsay goes to jail, she ends up with a million bucks. WTF am I doing wrong here? If she gets all that just for going to jail, imagine how much she’d stand to make if she got shanked!

And to make matters worse for Lindsay, or possibly better, her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley has reportedly quit representing her!

Per TMZ:

TMZ called Holley for comment on a story we’re working on, and she informed us she is no longer repping Lindsay. Sources tell us Holley resigned earlier today.

Lilo reportedly already has a new lawyer lined up, Tiffany Feder-Cohen, who was reportedly just admitted to the bar in November. Was her nail polish the final straw for Holley (read about that here)? Whatever the reason may be, its the first smart move Holley has made in regards to Lohan! Can’t wait to see how THIS plays out!!

Betty White – Pin Up Girl!

July 8, 2010 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Continuing her path to world domination, Betty White can now technically add ‘pin-up girl’ to her growing resume in addition to having her own TV show and a fan club the size of a small country after she graces the pages of a 2011 calendar to benefit The Morris Animal Foundation. White will be the star of the calendar that features various photos of White, including archival and newer ones co-starring shirtless sexy men!

Per AceShowBiz:

“Betty is classy, earthy and unassuming,” a spokesperson for the Morris Animal Foundation said in a statement. “She’s also got a fantastic sense of humor about herself – and that’s our idea of a centerfold!”

The Betty White Calendar costs $12.99 and will go on sale in September. Royalties will go to the Morris Animal Foundation where White serves as a trustee. The publishing company behind the calendar is calling White “America’s newest pin-up girl.” Swimsuit models were so last year, anyway.

I’m not sure which calender I’m liking more — White’s, or last years ‘Hot Guys and Baby Animals.’ – And yes, that one is exactly what the title implies.

New Food Network Show: 24 Hour Restaurant Battle

July 8, 2010 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

Ever wonder how long it takes to get a restaurant started? How about 24 hours?! At least that’s all Food Network’s new show ’24 Hour Restaurant Battle’ thinks it takes!

Hosted by Scott Conant, who you may recognize from ‘Chopped,’ ’24 Hour Restaurant Battle’ is pretty self-explanatory: Each one-hour episode features dueling teams who must conceive, plan, and open their own restaurants in 24 hours. On each team, one person handles front-of-house issues like décor, seating, and service while the other manages back-of-house matters like menu planning, shopping, and cooking. When the doors open, each restaurant serves a group of diners along with Scott and a rotating panel of judges. Based on the restaurant’s concept, execution, and viability, the judges choose a winning team who receive $10,000.

I am seriously hoping they select chefs who can’t stand one another to be on the same team. I wanna see Paula Deen cut someone.

You can catch ’24 Hour Restaurant Battle’ on Food Network WEDNESDAY JULY 21 at 10:00 PM/EST, or you can catch an exclusive SNEAK PEAK JULY 18 at 10:00 PM/EST. You can learn more about the show BY CLICKING HERE.

Beyonce Escapes Car Crash In London

July 8, 2010 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Beyonce is a lucky lady, having escaped what could have been a very tragic accident, when she opened her car door and it got ripped off its hinges by a London taxi. The black cab missed Beyonce by inches before hitting her chauffeur driven Mercedes. Beyonce, who was travelling with husband Jay-Z, looked visibly shaken after the incident.

Per Fox News:

A source said: “It was terrifying to watch. It all happened so quickly, the taxi came out of nowhere. She seemed very shaken and was lucky to be alive. A couple of seconds difference and God knows what could have happened.”

The happy couple were on their way to dinner at Japanese eatery Zuma when the she decided to make an impromptu stop at Harrods department store. After the accident, they were forced to dump the damaged car and were sent a replacement to take them to the restaurant. Beyonce was later seen looking happy and relaxed while having dinner, which undoubtedly included a few stiff drinks!

Jessica Simpson PREGNANT with a MARRIED Man’s Baby – PHOTOS

July 8, 2010 By Cara Harrington 14 Comments

Yup. Jessica Simpson has found herself a man. Too bad he is still legally married. So, ho found herself someone else’s man. While he is still technically married to his wife of 5 years, he filed for divorce in January. Whateves. She is no Sienna Miller. I am sure it will only be a matter of time before he too abandons her in an IHOP parking lot.

Simpson’s new boyfriend is said to be former NFL player, Eric Johnson. He once played for the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers, but failed to make a full time career out of it after suffering several injuries. They met after a mutual friend brought him to one of her parties about 5 weeks ago.

“Jess is definitely rushing into this,” an insider tells Us. Indeed, in the photo, the couple are in Jacksonville, Fla., where they were celebrating Johnson’s grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary! They made time for some serious PDA at the modest, family-friendly Ponte Vedra Inn & Club at which they were staying. While strolling to their modest apartment there, “Her hand was on his butt, and they walked slowly just to enjoy the moment… They looked cute together,” says an insider, who also adds that they spent time with a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door.”

Ok also insists that despite only meeting 5 weeks ago, Jessica Simpson is also pregnant with Eric’s baby. She also Twittered about doing a vegan crash diet and indulging in the Chinese method of removing toxins called cupping and some tea that is marketed as a weight loss drink.

While I wouldn’t doubt the mag would be able to dupe Jess into taking a pregnancy test by telling her if she peed on the little stick she’d be granted 3 wishes…I do doubt any forms of life are brewing in Simpson’s uterus.

UPDATE 2: Undeniable Baby Bump Photos have hit. Jess spotted at LAX wearing black leggings and revealing a bump that suggests she is in her last trimester! Click HERE for those…

Alicia Keys and Baby OK After Fall – VIDEO

July 8, 2010 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

On Saturday July 3rd, Alicia Keys fell onstage during her concert at the 2010 Essence Music Festival. It was just a small tumble and she was able to carry on singing with no issues. However, the singer recently announced that she is pregnant and she and fiancé Swiss Beatz are due this fall. Fans have been worried and upset, but a rep insists she and baby are completely fine.

“Alicia and baby are fine and all is well.”

The performance at the Essence Music Festival will be her last concert for the summer as she takes a maternity leave.

Mel Gibson Racist Tirade, Admits Beating Oksana

July 8, 2010 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Mel Gibson is making Tom Cruise look like a well rounded human being. More details of the tapes his mistress/baby momma, Oksana Grigorieva, recorded to prove he is a wife beating racist have hit the net. These tapes reportedly have words of sage wisdom straight from Mel’s mouth like:

“You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault.”

Which is followed by Gibson admitting he hit Oksana while she was holding their daughter, Lucia.

“What kind of a man is that who would hit a woman when she is holding a child in her hands, hitting her twice in the face? What kind of a man is that?

“You know what — you f**cking deserved it,” Gibson responded.

After taking swipes at Oksana he also turned against some of his hired help.

“I will report her to the f**king people that take f**king money from the wetbacks.”

So we can add the Mexican community to Mel’s Axis of Evil list that also includes the Jewish faith, African-Americans, condoms and common decency. I am waiting for these tapes to be sold on iTunes and become Hitler’s ringtone.

Lindsay Lohan’s Manicure Just A Joke?!?

July 8, 2010 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

As we reported yesterday (Need pictures? CLICK HERE), Lindsay Lohan sent the judge overseeing her probation violation case a little message via her manicure.

Lindsay, who herself as about as bright at 3:00 AM in the bayou, had the words: F**k You, gingerly inscribed on her middle finger.

But fear not lone Lohan fan, according to Lindsay (via her Twitter, of course), it was merely a joke.

Via People:

“Didn’t we do our nails as a joke with our friend?” Lohan Tweeted to a pal on Wednesday. “It had nothing to do w/court.. it’s an airbrush design from a stencil.”

See, I am not a fancy three-time rehabber like Lohan. I don’t see having to make multiple court appearances and attend court-mandated drug and alcohol rehabilitation courses as something worth “joking” about. But then again, I also don’t hang out at clubs until 2:00 AM before said court appearance where I receive a knuckle-sandwich from a waitress whose boyfriend I may have publicly humped, either.

Some people have the coolest lives.
