Justin Bieber Cast in CSI

July 23, 2010 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Justin Bieber makes little girls swoon, heals the blind and brings huge numbers to everything he touches. So CSI is all giggly with dollar signs in their eyes as they announce that The Bieb will be portraying a troubled teen on the CBS show.

Via E!:

“Every 20 years, a phenomenon like Justin Bieber graces our world. We’d like to believe that the phenomenon of CSI has had the same impact on popular culture. The opportunity to bring them together in the premiere is a great treat for our audience and all of its new viewers,” gushed Carol Mendelsohn, Don McGill and Anthony Zuiker in a joint statement. “This will be true event television.”

From the executives description he will be on more than one episode.

“He is slated to play Jason McCann, described in a CBS release as “a troubled teen who is faced with a terrible decision regarding his only brother—a decision that leads him into an explosive confrontation with the CSIs. It is the beginning of an emotional story that will conclude later in the season.”

CSI? Really? Whateves. I think he’d make a better drag version of Victoria Beckham.

Despite Reports, ‘Scrubs’ Actor Zach Braff NOT Dead

October 13, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Despite the dinnertime shrieks of “OMG Zach Braff killed himself! I read it on Twitter!” that you might have heard, the actor is very much alive and well! Reports that the “Scrubs” actor had died of an apparent suicide have been spreading like wild fires yesterday, with the news even being reported on a fake CNN site and becoming a top trending topic on Twitter. The headline of the article said “Beloved Scrubs Actor Found Dead In His Home” and claimed he was found with an empty pill bottle by his side. The news of Braff’s so-called death was first reported on the hoax CNN page, which actually looked quite genuine, while another article appeared claiming that Braff had died while shooting a film in New Zealand. Thankfully, these turned out to be not true. However, if you did a little browsing on the fake CNN page it clearly gave away the hoax – all of the “top stories” on the right hand side were from 2007. Braff posted a video on Monday to his personal Facebook page, disputing the claim and calling out the person behind it.

Per PopEater:

“There was a big Internet rumor today that I was dead … that I OD’d on some pills. It’s not the case, I’m here at ‘Scrubs’ shooting the new ‘Scrubs’ title sequence, which is a little bit like dying, so I guess that was semi-accurate. A couple of inaccuracies you should have noticed when you saw the thing, if you believed it — the dude said I was found in my 32,000 square foot estate in Beverly Hills – but I’m not Oprah! That’s a big house! I just want to say to the douchebag who started this: You win my first ever douche of the day award for making my mom upset!”

Chris Laganella of New Jersey seems to be the lucky winner of that award. He has since removed the fake CNN page post and replaced it with an apology and explanation that I don’t quite understand. Laganella writes that he made the spoof page in 2007 for friends and fellow fans of “Scrubs,” but somehow it was made public without his knowledge.

Per ChrisBox:

“So let’s just clear some stuff up. I did not make this page to intentionally fool everyone on the internet. I didn’t expect it to even be made public. Ever. I’m sorry if I scared everyone out there. Zach, sorry if you got offended by me posting a fake suicide about you on the internet. Your 32,000 square foot house would be pretty empty without you. Thanks for (apparently) taking it lightly, since I haven’t gotten a letter about a lawsuit yet. Just so you know, I’m a huge fan; that’s the only reason I made this page, believe it or not. Also, sorry for upsetting your mother.”

There’s a new one of these fake troll-inspired death rumors every week. I think only school kids are fooled by it any more. Sometimes it’s the oddest celebs, which the pranksters do on purpose to make it more believable. While we’ve debunked this one, its only a matter of time before the next one pops up.

‘New Moon’ Photos – Dakota Fanning as Jane, Taylor Lautner Shirtless

June 3, 2009 By Crista Webster 2 Comments

We have been blessed with the “Twilight Saga: New Moon” trailer for three days now. Prior to that, I lost my senses flipping through pic after pic of the movie’s star Robert Pattinson shooting shirtless in Italy. However, what Twihards everywhere haven’t been privy to are pictures of the mean old Volturi vampires…until now.

A creepy picture of Dakota Fanning as Jane, on her way to shoot a scene while in Italy last week has surfaced. Until now, pictures of Fanning and other Volturi cast mates (including Michael Sheen and Jamie Bowen) have been top secret. And I can see why…

…Fanning totally creeps me out when she is just walking around being her normal self. Now, she looks like a sadistic version of Red Riding Hood. Have to give props to the costume department on this one-LOVE that they have put her in mary-janes adding to her supposed innocence.

For the two or three of you that aren’t familiar with Fanning’s character, Jane, she is described as having a Botticelli face but also harbors the ability to make a person believe they are being inflicted with great pain (much like her acting in “War of the Worlds” did to me).

“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” is scheduled to hit theaters November 20, 2009.

Kristen Stewart Smoking Pot … Again – Photos

May 26, 2009 By Crista Webster 39 Comments

Kristen Stewart’s people have some more damage control to take care of this week. Not that she seems to care.

As we have reported here at Hollywood Dame several times (as in exhibit A – Kristen Stewart smoking a bowl of weed on her front porch and exhibit B Stewart in a pot leaf bikini), “Twilight” starlet Kristen Stewart likes to smoke pot down often in broad daylight with plenty of witnesses and even more paparazzi around to snap pics of her.

Here she is, having dinner with co-star Robert Pattinson at a restaurant outside Monteplaciano, Italy this weekend. For dinner? Pasta. Desert? A doobie. KStew is in town with Sparklepants wrapping up the final shots of “New Moon” due out November 20, 2009. You can catch a sneak peek of the film at this Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards.

It was reported by multiple gossipers that Kristen smoked down often while on the Vancouver set of the film (British Columbia law allows smoking marijuana in designated areas). However, she managed to keep from being photographed on those supposed occasions.

Before you start the hate mailing Twi-Hards, please note that Sparklepants was a good boy and wasn’t smoking pot with his costar.

‘New Moon’ Wolf Pack Nearly Nude Photos

April 22, 2009 By Crista Webster 5 Comments

Now this is how I like to wake-up. USA Today has written a nice little story featuring the Wolf Pack from the highly anticipated sequel to “Twilight”: “New Moon” which is currently filming in Vancouver, British Columbia.

As you can see, the pack is in peek condition to play the shape-shifting werewolves and members of the Quileute Native American tribe that resides in La Push, Washington.

We here at Hollywood Dame have done our job keeping you abreast of the latest casting news regarding this movie, so these guys aren’t new faces to us. However, we have yet to see all their man meat on display. And the consensus? The Dames like. Really, really like.

The actors: Alex Meraz (Paul), Chaske Spencer (Sam), Bronson Pelletier (Jared), and Kiowa Gordon (Embry) spent weeks working-out together and going through “Wolf Camp” according to “New Moon” director Chris Weitz.

Via USA Today:

“They are in constant training. It paid off as a bonding thing for them and helped them to get to know one another. They drove each other to get more buff.”

Thank you boys. Thank you. Your natural-born testosterone driven rage to one-up each other in the pec department has benefited us all.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen Shotgun Wedding – Photos

April 6, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

It was literally a wedding crawling with armed bodyguards. Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen had a second wedding that was held in Costa Rica and paparazzi were not welcome.

The couple’s body guards opened fire on photogs after a spat had broken out earlier. A few friends of Tom’s and members of the their security had gotten into an argument with the encroaching paparazzi just moments before a gunshots were fired. A bullet hit the rear window and shattered the glass. It had barely missed two photographers.

INF photo agency had sent Rolando Aviles and Yuri Cortez to the second set of nuptials in Santa Teresa. As they were spotted around 300 feet away from ceremony, the body guards started to chase them. According to Aviles he and his friend were cornered at their SUV and asked to come back and have a chat with Brady. Being really gullible or just plain daft, he and his photog friend went back to Gisele’s home. As they walked in Tom’s groomsmen and the body guards surrounded them.

Per the NY Post:

“Take a picture of me now, you f- – -er! F- – - you,” Brady’s righthand man, whose name was not immediately known, screamed, according to Aviles. “He was very angry. It looked like he wanted to attack us,” Aviles said. The photographers lied their way out of the tight spot — saying they hadn’t taken a single frame.”

The photo hungry paps then left to return to their car. As they started to drive away someone fired into the rear of the vehicle.

“Thank God I’m all right. At that moment, I thought I was going to die,” lensman Rolando Aviles told The Post. “The bullet went between us, missing our heads. If the bullet been a little more to the left or right, it would have killed one of us. I said, ‘They’re going to kill us,’ and that’s when I hunched down to cover myself.”

Holy overreaction Batman!
