Ashlee Simpson Depressed After Heather Locklear Demanded Firing

November 2, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

THIS is hardly surprising! Ashlee Simpson-Wentz was reportedly fired from “Melrose Place” because producers thought she couldn’t act, and only hired her to create buzz for the show. Now she is so upset over being let go that she is apparently “teetering on the edge of an emotional breakdown,” devastated at the loss of her gig.

Per Monsters And Critics:

“Ashlee didn’t see it coming, and now she’s crushed,” said a friend to the Enquirer. “She invested her heart and soul into the job. She feels like the rug has been pulled out from under her.”

Obviously they didn’t watch her on “7th Heaven” or they would have known how terrible of an actress she already was. Meanwhile, Ashlee’s sister Jessica, who used to help promote her sister’s former show regularly on her Twitter page, has changed her tune about the show.

Per Twitter:

“CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap?i have had bad scripts to work with,but this?thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press”

Wow, that’s quite the diss coming from someone who starred in “Major Movie Star!” Sorry Jessica, but the show was crap from Day 1. And Ashlee can’t act either. Ashlee’s character will make her final appearance on the show in January.

Lindsay Lohan Not In Psych Ward, Causes Scene Over Seating Arrangements

September 17, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Lindsay Lohan would like the world to know that a story about her being admitted to a psych ward yesterday is in fact not true. Did anyone else hear this story cause I’m fairly certain it doesn’t even exist at all. The actress, if you wanna call her that, took to her personal Twitter page yesterday to so-call ‘set the record straight.’

Lindsay Lohans Twitter:

“Hahahaha my publicist just called me & said she heard I was in a psych ward!!!! Hahaha WHAT IS WRONG with people???? I’m working lol”

“BUT that’s one I’ve NEVER heard about myself before! New ones r always interesting huh? There’s SO much more going on in the world! Wake up”

Looks like somebody is fishing for a little publicity! Lindsay, are you the one who made this up so you could tweet just to remind everyone that you are still relevant and are indeed working on something? Meanwhile, Lohan attended the G-Star runway show Tuesday night at Hammerstein Ballroom, only to make a complete jerk of herself and throw a fit like someone revoked her VIP card at the liquor store. In true spoiled brat fashion, she refused to pose for photographs and had to be dragged through the press line like a puppy on a leash. Apparently, she also had a little problem with the seating arrangement at the show.

Per NY Post:

“Lindsay decided she wasn’t happy with the seating arrangements. She began taking the seating cards for celebrities like Juliette Lewis and Christian Siriano and moving them or throwing them on the floor,” said our source.

Note to Lindsay: ticking off Juliette Lewis may not be a wise move for you to make! Event producers finally approached her after they saw her toss aside Taylor Momsen’s place card. Her response to them was oh-so-ever-classy.

Per NY Post:

“Don’t [bleep]ing touch me,” and “rolled her eyes and continued moving the place cards,” said our spy.

How ‘diva’ of you. Come on Lindsay – your hissy fits and and rehab/psych ward stories are starting to bore me. Time to try something else. Maybe a little more relevant, perhaps?

Ellen DeGeneres Sued!

September 11, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Oh the travesty! Talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres & her talk show’s producers for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” are being sued for the use of music during the “dance over” segment at the beginning of each show, where Ellen dances through the audience to some music having a good time interacting with everyone and it’s so hilarious and even I laugh. But the record companies don’t find it to be too funny – because they weren’t paid their licensing fees!

Per Huffington Post:

“As sophisticated consumers of music, Defendants knew full well that, regardless of the way they rolled, under the Copyright Act, and under state law for the pre-1972 recordings, they needed a license to use the sound recordings lawfully,” the suit states.

Plaintiffs include Arista Music, Atlantic Recording Corp., Capitol Records, Motown Record Company, Sony Music Entertainment, Virgin Records America and Warner Bros. Records. Typically, Ellen’s show plays less than 30 seconds of a song and it can be argued that it falls under fair use. Ellen’s people say they didn’t “roll that way,” on licensing, but they seriously need to come up with a better defense on that one!

Ellen’s show has been on the air for 6 years, so why are the record companies just now filing a suit?

Quoteables:

Evil Beat Gossip: “I’ll tell you what’s funny, though — no one would have reported on this story if Ellen hadn’t been named the fourth Idol judge this week. Success is a bitch.”

Gawker - “Here we thought the music industry was about bringing happiness into an otherwise dismal existence. Now we learn they’re only about profits. The horror!”

Paulina Porizkova Fired From ‘America’s Next Top Model’

May 13, 2009 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

Tyra Banks recently lost about 100lbs. How? Simple: she fired former super model Paulina Porizkova from ‘America’s Next Top Model’.

Porizkova revealed on ‘The Late Show’ with Craig Ferguson that she was currently in Los Angeles looking for a job after receiving the axe from the model search reality series.

Via RealityTVWorld:

“The reason I was fired, just to be fair here, the reason I was told I was fired was because, it seemed that ‘America’s Next Top Model’ had gotten too fat and they needed to cut some fat and the fat was me.”

Ouch.

Porizkova would not reveal who actually fired her but did inform the audience her sacking took place via a telephone call on her 44th birthday.

Apparently, Porizkova has a bit of an ego problem, and we all know there is only room for three egos on the set of America’s Next Top Model…and they all belong to Tyra.

“So I figured it was either that — I think that was a nice way of putting it and it could have been either that or my gigantic huge ego, which I wasn’t aware of before I was told by the producers that I have an ego problem.”

Porizkova joins other former models Twiggy and Janice Dickenson on the menu of the Tyra Banks Model Roadkill Café.
