Says Clay Aiken in a recent interview, when asked about all the attention surrounding his sexuality:
"People don't want to have that type of stuff pushed, people who are living in Omaha or in Charlotte or wherever. They don't want stuff like that pushed in their face. I don't think that's necessary and that's also not what I'm here for. I mean, I went on Idol to be a singer, I went on Idol to be an entertainer and that's what my priority is."
And, like, I totally see his point about his sexualit...
Sigh.
So, when I'm not writing over here for you guys, I write the celebrity section on Film.com. I got this email from my editor over there this afternoon:
Hey – Exciting news! Amy got arrested! Woo hoo!
She asked me if I wanted to cover it or if she should just run an AP story, and I told her to run the AP story. Because, the thing is, it's not exciting to me. It's not surprising and it's not even really that interesting and it's basically just another nail in the coffin of w...
For whatever reason, Madonna decided to debut her entire new album, Hard Candy, on MySpace, for days before the album will be released in stores.
Listen to it here.
And I don't know what my damage is, but I went to bed at midnight last night and didn't wake up until 11 am today. So now I have like a billion things I'm running late for. I'll check in with you guys later. ...
Heh.
Like I've said before, the weirdest shit shows up in my inbox.
I got this email yesterday:
Hello.
I have a frame capture for Ann Hathaway from Ella Enchanted. The picture appears to show no panties... Would you like to see it?
Um ... duh!!!! Of course I'd like to see them! So he kindly sent them along.
I can't tell if she's wearing no panties or nude panties, but you can definitely see her butt-cheeks in one of them. In the other, I think I can see her penis. I'm not kidding. I definitely...
Here's Angie looking all gorgeous and preggers and perfect and shit as she leaves a restaurant in LA.
I have a plan, you guys. I devised it earlier this week. Ready for it? It's genius.
Okay:
Angelina Jolie was just a couple months shy of her 27th birthday when she adopted Maddox. If I'm still single on my 27th birthday, I'm going to adopt a kid from Cambodia. And if I'm still single a couple years after that, I'm going to adopt a kid from Ethiopia. And then what will happen is I will meet...
Here's Amy stumbling home from a pub in London last night.
There are around 40 pictures in this set. She looks like this in all of them.
And check out the nasty cigarette burn on her arm.
This girl is going to die soon if she doesn't decide to want help.
...
Oh yay.
Carmen Electra reportedly got engaged this weekend to her boyfriend, Korn guitarist Rob Patterson. He popped the question while they were celebrating her 36th birthday in Las Vegas.
If this actually happens, it'll be her third marriage. (The first was to Dennis Rodman -- later annulled -- and the second to Dave Navarro.) I think someone's trying to give Pam Anderson a run for her money. How long do we think this marriage'll last, kids? I give it two months.
...
Here's Madonna at the Tribeca Film Festival showing of I Am Because We Are, a documentary co-produced by Madge which documents the concern over the millions of orphans in Malawi who have lost parents and siblings to HIV and AIDS. It also showcases Madonna's agency, Raising Malawi, which works to help these kids.
I guess I can't really be too bitchy about this. It's kind of awesome.
Also there: Rosie O'Donnell, Bernadette Peters (who hasn't seemed to age at any point during the past twe...
Nick Lachey has signed on to host the reality competition, which "will chronicle the grueling process as a group of young hopefuls strive to become the next Zac or Vanessa."
I have no idea what that means -- will this be an American Idol type of thing or an ANTM kind of thing? And what's the prize?
Regardless, you can get more information on auditions here. You have to be between the ages of 16 and 22, a legal U.S. resident who is fully able to sign his or her entire life over to Disney, and -- this is my favorite part ...
"We are taking the high road."
Al Reynolds, on his pending divorce from Star Jones.
Eh, I mean, in fairness, it's not like Star blamed Al for anything in her statement. She blamed the media instead. In light of that, this is actually kind of a dick statement from Al. It implies that he has shit to talk about her that he's holding back on, when it's not like Star was talking shit in the first place. A simple "No comment" or a plain-jane "I am disappointed this didn't work out and wish her the best" would have sufficed, dude.
Also: we are taking the high road? Who the fuc...
Hooray for Shia LaBeouf, who successfully argued to have charges dropped against him regarding smoking outside a Burbank store.
His attorney argued that he had absolutely no idea he was breaking the law when he lit up.
"I don’t live in Burbank, but I understand that Burbank considers public smoking to be a nuisance. Unbeknownst to most people, Burbank has enacted certain municipal ordinances which prohibit members of the public from smoking in certain designated areas,†his lawyer said. "Casual visitors to the city would not be aware of these ordinances. Shia was not aware of this ordinance. And in Burbank, they cons...
Craaaaaaaaziness.
Wesley Snipes was sentenced to THREE YEARS in a federal prison on Thursday for three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns.
"Snipes' long prison sentence should send a loud and crystal clear message to all tax defiers that if they engage in similar tax defier conduct, they face joining him," said Assistant Attorney General Nathan J. Hochman of the Justice Department's Tax Division.
Wow. They just totally made an example of him. It's like Martha Stewart all ov...
