Well, okay. Quentin Tarantino was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno this week and decided that a great story to tell would be about that one time he got in a fight with a cab driver and the guy bit him on the nipple. I suppose this is the point we're all supposed to say, "Only in New York!" but all I'm thinking is, "Uh, what?"
"I was in the back of this cab and this taxi driver who was a big guy - he was a real jerk. So he was such a jerk I said, 'Pull over to the side of the road and let me get out'. So he's acting all huffy. Say the fare was $4.50 and I gave him a $5 but he was such a jerk I didn't even want to give him 50 cents tip.
"So I was like, 'Give me my money', and he was like, 'Fine' and he gives me the two quarters and he refers to my date and says, 'Use it to buy her a new face'. So I'm sprinting around the back of the cab because I'm going to attack him. I come over and I hit him so hard that he goes right back in the cab. I start punching him in the face.
"Now this is all happening in front of a club. So the bouncers grab me and pull me off of him. The guy sees that I'm being held and he attacks me and tries to bite me on my nipple. He didn't hit me... he sunk his teeth into my chest.''
''I go, 'Maybe he doesn't know who I am. I can't tell anybody about this. I can't tell my best friend about this.' So for a year I didn't tell anybody about it to see if anybody would know about it and it went away. I have been in two fights this year, already. One that I started, one that I didn't. In both cases it was a big deal, it was all over the newspapers and I paid $30,000 each time. That's the price of doing business when you're famous and you punch somebody.''
Don't you feel better knowing that? I feel like it explains a lot about what a weirdo Quentin is, but maybe that's just me. Here's a clip for ya:
I feel really out of the loop, because I seriously thought Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore's divorce was finalized, like, a year ago, but apparently that's not the case - it wasn't until this Tuesday that Ashton's lawyer, Laura Wasser, filed a clarification to the financial agreement they'd reached and it was actually all over. Huh, go figure.
From TMZ:
The docs were filed Tuesday afternoon by disso-queen Laura Wasser on Kutcher's behalf, ending the marriage that began in 2005. The two had se...
Just like Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick before him, Neil Patrick Harris is also giving back this Thanksgiving by helping prepare meals for those in need at Los Angeles Mission. Celebrities, led by chef Michael Voltaggio, prepared a traditional Thanksgiving meal for those in need on Wednesday night, which is pretty great. There are so many people unable to afford to have a meal today, and it's a lovely gesture.
Super grateful to @MVoltaggio and all the other amazing chefs for lending their time and brawn. I was honored to be incl...
Joan Rivers has something to say about everything, even when her opinion is irrelevant and unasked for. That being said, none of us should be surprised that she felt the need to speak out in what I think was supposed to be defense of Alec Baldwin and his recent MSNBC firing over his use of homophobic slurs. I suppose Joan felt she should fight fire with fire, so when talking to TMZ, she went off on a rant that included using the words "nigger", "chink" and "fairy". Uh... WHAT?
I've always ha...
I've always really liked Alec Baldwin. His politics were seemingly spot on and he's incredibly talented - definitely one of the best comedic actors of his generation, able to play the straight man (no pun intended) and further the hilarity of whatever piece (see 30 Rock for a perfect example). However, lately he's becoming more and more of a bastard, and it's a shame.
You know the story by now: he got in another fight with a reporter, used another gay slur, got suspended from his MSNBC show a...
Sure, big sister Britney gets most of the attention, but Jamie Lynn Spears did have a burgeoning career at one point... until she got pregnant at 16 and left the limelight (and Zoey 101) for mom life. Now that she's older and so is her baby, she's engaged and life is coming together, it's time to focus on her career again. With that in mind, she's released a single called 'How Could I Want More' and oh snap, it's actually good! It's a bit Taylor Swift-ish - that was my first thought - but I th...

Remember that charity gig that Taylor Swift booked at Kensington Palace for one of Prince William's causes? Well, it happened, and Jon Bon Jovi was there and they all sang together! Isn't that fun?
The trio did a nice little rendition of 'Living On a Prayer' together at the Winter Whites Gala to support homeless charity Centrepoint on Tuesday night, and stars like Benedict Cumberbatch and James Blunt were in attendance. Kate Middleton, however, wasn't there - she got left at home to watch the baby. BOO!

Remember that freaky ass life-sized Lady GaGa doll that was being made in Japan? It was weird, and we had no idea what was going on with it... but now it's all becoming clear. It's actually a life-sized ARTPOP listening station! Because that totally makes it better... Apparently the people putting this nightmare together are using a special "bone conduction system" to make it so that anyone who puts their head against GAGADOLL's heart can hear songs from the album. Uh... I'm going to pass.

Justin Bieber is still going strong with his #MusicMondays bullshit, and his latest offering comes in the form of a song called 'All That Matters'. I guarantee you nothing about this song matters, but some people apparently like this kid and so it's news.
Speaking of Justin Bieber fans, where's my Ontario-based Anonymous poster whose fingers are hovering over the keyboard, getting ready to tell me how I need to bend over and take it from Justin from behind since that's clearly what I want when ...
I really want to like Kanye West. I want to believe that what he's saying makes sense, that he's a powerful symbol for the black community and an inspiration for others that the struggle is worth it. Perhaps he is - to be honest, it's not my place to say either way - but what I will say is that it's a shame that so much of his message, or what I think he means his message to be, get lost in his megalomaniacal rantings and delusions of grandeur. It seems like not a day goes by that we're not talki...
