2010 July

The bong resin and 4 remaining brain cell being held together by Lisa Frank stickers that Paris Hilton calls a brain, got her into a bit of trouble at the World Cup. Hilton and her crew were busted at a World Cup game for smoking marijuana.

“Hilton was in Port Elizabeth attending the Brazil vs Netherlands quarterfinal match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, when she was escorted by police to the Mount Road Police Station in St Croix just before 8pm.”

It turned out that she wasn’t the moron sparking up a joint mid-game. One of her minions was to blame. The culprit paid a fine and was released as was Hilton. There are a few rumors that say cops confirmed that she did have pot in her possession, but got an apology from enforcement as they pat her head and sent her to go stimulate the economy.

Christina McLarty Engaged to ‘Girls Gone Wild’ Founder Joe Francis-PHOTOS

July 2, 2010 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

Awe, love and junk!

‘Girls Gone Wild’ creator Joe Francis, has taken time from his multi-million dollar boob-enterprise to propose to his girlfriend, Los Angeles CBS Entertainment Reporter Christina McLarty.

Francis recently spent just under a year in jail on various charges and had over $100 million in assets taken by the IRS. During this time, McLarty (who has been with Francis on and off for four years) stuck with him.

The couple, however, does not plan on having a traditional ceremony.

Via The New York Post:

“We have chosen to have a civil domestic partnership because we don’t believe it’s appropriate to be married until our gay and lesbian friends are afforded the same rights as us to legally marry in the United States.”

How Brangelina of them.

Never fear, the couple do plan on having their civil ceremony this September at Francis’s posh estate in Punta Mita, Mexico which, according to Francis, will be “full of surprises.” One major surprise? Quincy Jones, Francis’s Bel Air neighbor, will serve as Best Man.

New Music Friday – Neon Trees

July 2, 2010 By Holly Stafford 2 Comments

Neon Trees is a rock band from Provo, UT, with origins in Temecula, California. Formed initially by neighbors Tyler Glenn (lead vocals/keyboards) and Chris Allen (guitars), the band made its first home in Provo, eventually adding Branden Campbell (bass) and Elaine Bradley (drums/vocals) to the lineup. Although a well known band in Provo, the band didn’t receive nationwide exposure until late 2008 when they were chosen as openers for several of The Killers’ North American tour dates. Not long after, the band was signed by major record label Mercury Records in early 2009. Additionally, the group was voted Band of the Year in 2009 by City Weekly, a popular Salt Lake City publication. Although they had several prior independent releases, the band released its debut album at Mercury/Def Jam, “Habits,” on March 16, 2010 with “Animal” as its lead single. Throughout the Spring of 2010 the band, along with Mutemath and Street Drum Corps, opened for the 30 Seconds To Mars tour Into The Wild. Subsequently, they are headlining the summer 2010 Bang The Gong Tour with Paper Tongues (read their exclusive HollywoodDame Interview here) and Civil Twilight (see their New Music Friday feature here.) Check out the video for ‘Animals’ above.

Andrew Garfield Cast As The Next ‘Spider-Man’

July 1, 2010 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

Sony Pictures has just confirmed by sending out a press release that British heartthrob Andrew Garfield has been cast as the next Spider-Man, scheduled to be released in July 2012 in 3D. The new film will begin production in early December, directed by Marc Webb and written by James Vanderbilt.

Per Washington Post:

“Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor’s work understand his extraordinary talents,” said director Webb in a gushing statement that was part of the same press release. “He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker.”

Garfield and Webb got the jobs after star Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi, who made three blockbuster “Spider-Man” films together, departed amid story and scheduling issues over a fourth movie. Among others who were said to be considered for the part were Josh Hutcherson, Jamie Bell, Anton Yelchin, and Aaron Johnson. Garfield most recently worked with director David Fincher on the upcoming film “The Social Network.” Other notable screen credits include “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus,” “Lions For Lambs” and “Boy A.”

What’s your thoughts on this interesting casting choice?

Mel Gibsons Racial Tirade Against Oksana Grigorieva Caught On Tape

July 1, 2010 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Digging the hole a little deeper, a secret recording allegedly captured Mel Gibson yelling a vile, racial tirade at former girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva is the lastest development to come out in the nasty fued between the two ex-lovers who are currently involved in a custody battle over their daughter Lucia.

Per Radar:

“You’re an embarrassment to me,” Mel tells her at one point. “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.”

The tapes have been ordered to be sealed by a judge in the case but Radar claimed to have heard them. TMZ says it has confirmed it is Gibson on the tape, which Grigorieva secretly recorded. But this isn’t the only tirade that Gibson has went on against his ex.

In another tirade, Mel tells Oksana: “How dare you act like such a bitch when I have been so f**king nice.” He warns, “I am going to come and burn the f**king house down… but you will blow me first.”

Gibson continues his rages towards his baby mama, calling her names that you simply don’t call a lady. Last month, both Gibson and Grigorieva took out restaining orders against eachother (read about that here.) What the two were arguing about is unclear from the tapes but now the restraining order Gibson filed recently to prevent Grigorieva from, as TMZ said, releasing “certain information” makes a lot more sense. A Team Grigorieva source told Radar that she secretly started taping Gibson after threats were made. Gibson’s lawyer has previously accused Grigorieva of “deceitful conduct” in the custody battle and of making “sensationalist allegations.”

This isn’t the first time Gibson’s mouth has gotten him into trouble. In 2006 Gibson shocked the world when he launched an anti-Semitic rant after being arrested for drink driving. You mean to tell me Mel Gibson is still a bigot and racist? He didn’t magically change after the last time he did the same thing? I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Kristen Stewart Fears Fan Assassination

July 1, 2010 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Using the right choice of words doesn’t seem to be a strong point for her! Kristen Stewart claims she frequently fights back tears on the red carpet – because she’s terrified she will be “assassinated.” Yes, I’m rolling my eyes as well. Kristen talked to UK’s ‘Hello’ magazine about her newfound paranoia and explains why she always looks so grumpy on the red carpet.

Per Us:

“I don’t feel very comfortable on the red carpet. Sometimes I get really excited for what I’m going to and then try to take good pictures and go inside… I literally have to keep myself from crying sometimes. I look out there at a thousand people and I realize they could rush me and assassinate me. No security could protect me. Ostensibly they’re fans, but I think about them turning on me.”

How to get fans to turn on you in one easy step: 1) talk about how you are afraid fans will turn on you! While I agree that being on a runway with screaming fans, bulbs flashing, and mics in your face must be intimidating, she can breathe a sigh of relief and chill – no one wants to kill her. There are obsessed fans, and as we’ve seen in the past – some do kill their objects of obsession. But a mass uprising of Twi-moms and teens just doesn’t seem all that likely.

July 1, 2010 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Tori Spelling’s husband, Dean McDermott, landed himself in the hospital Tuesday with a punctured and collapsed lung after an accident while dirt bike riding with two friends.

Per People:

“He’s in a lot of pain,” Tori Spelling, who has been by her husband’s side since the accident (his second on a cycle this year), tells PEOPLE. “He’s taking this as a sign and realizing family is too important to risk his life.At first I was mad,” she continued. “I was pissed that he was out biking and crashed. But when I showed up and saw him lying there, and they told me they were admitting him to ICU with a collapsed lung, my heart dropped. My biggest fear had come true.”

This isn’t the first time McDermott has crashed his bike. He fractured a shoulder in an accident earlier this year. On the couple’s reality show “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood,” the two have had arguments about his obsession with motorcycles. But now he has promised to give it up. After Tuesdays crash, he couldn’t move and was bleeding heavily from his right side with a puncture wound when was transported straight to the intensive care unit. Although a full recovery is expected, he will stay in the ICU for a few more days. Get well soon Dean… Time to put the toys away!

Betty White In ‘Breaking Dawn’?!?

July 1, 2010 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Seriously, how awesome would that be! And we’re not the only ones to think so, either! Remember Robert Pattinsons’ Betty White crushhere)? Well now Pattinson answer’s E! Online’s off-topic question of if he’s open to casting White in ‘Breaking Dawn‘.

R.Pattz didn’t miss a beat when we asked him at the Eclipse premiere if he thinks White should be in BD. “Definitely,” he said. “She can be the baby.” The baby he’s referring to, of course, is Edward and Bella’s daughter, Renesmee.

Kellan Lutz was thinking along the very same lines, but with a little more of a twist.

“Oh, my gosh,” Lutz said. “I love Betty. I would love for them to do what they did in Benjamin Button with her and she can be Renesmee. I would change some scenes up so we could have Jacob and Emmet going for her. I want to work with her. That would be so much fun.”

Julia Jones, who plays Leah Clearwater, had just the opposite idea about how to feature White, suggesting she play Bella’s “great-great-grandmother in a flashback scene.” Even the Twilight saga author Stephenie Meyer agrees that the film’s producers should find a place for White in the final films.

“We have so many vampires in Breaking Dawn, surely she can fit in somewhere,” Meyer said. “Wouldn’t it be amazing if she was like just sitting there with a big group of the Volturi? That would be amazing.”

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t love Betty White? Yeah, we didn’t think so!

Kelsey Grammer’s Wife Files For Divorce

July 1, 2010 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Do the words ’til death do us part’ have no meaning anymore? “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member Camille Grammer, wife of Kelsey Grammer, has filed for divorce after almost 13 years of marriage.

Per TMZ:

The divorce petition was just filed by her lawyer, Neal Hersh. She is seeking joint legal custody and primary physical custody of their children.

She cites the regular celebrity reason as being ‘irreconcilable differences’ for the divorce. This was Camille’s first marriage and Kelsey’s third. They have two children together, Mason and Jude. Camille is a former Playboy model who hit the big time when she married Kelsey. I can only imagine how much spousal support he’s going to be forking over each month!
