Not being a Twilight fan, I was taken aback when items for someone named "Booboo" started popping up on the photo services lately. I was surprised to find that Booboo is neither a drag queen, nor a stripper, nor Jessica Simpson's new replacement cock-a-poodle.
Booboo-- whose real name "Nils" must have been too boring and conventional-- is slated to play Seth Clearwater in Twilight: Eclipse. He's Taylor Lautner mini-sized so the 12 year old girls can continue to have someone for whom to pine w...
With the season finale of Jersey Shore garnering 4.8 million viewers (MTV's highest rated show ever) the bags of breast implants and tanning oil known as its cast have enough bargaining power that they've rejected MTv's initial salary offer of $5,000 an episode for the second season. MTV has reportedly capitulated and issued a second offer of $10,000 an episode (and a $10,000 signing bonus) but the cast has not yet accepted the offer.
The cast is under a contractual obligation to provide M...
I should have Wordpress set to automatically post a generic "Brad and Angelina have not split up" article every 2 months. That seems to be the shelf life the media has decided upon for their relationship. Every two months or so, like clockwork, they are rumored to be splitting up.
Mark it down on your iCal right now: on March 24th, Brad and Angelina will "split up" again.
I'm a little disappointed in the discretionary powers of the internet (as usual) considering that this time, the rumor ...
Dakota Fanning is 16, but she looks like she's 12, and I'm okay with that. Because she is absolutely adorable. Look at her in her little Bowie shirt! Dawwwww.....
She saw a few flicks this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, meeting up with Kristen Stewart for one of them. Then I stole her and put her in my pocket so I could carry her around with me like a teddy bear.
Did that just cross the line into creepy?
Oh well, I'm sure that happens a lot with her.

Betty White gets top billing, both because she is awesome and because I know she'd appreciate me putting her picture immediately under the heading "The SAG Awards."
Betty received the lifetime achievement award at the such-n-such annual Screen Actor's Guild Awards (do you really care what number it is?) which are being held as we speak. Well, as I type.
And Betty was also the most badass bitch on the red carpet.
Diane Kruger and Helen Mirren both looked lovely and classy as well, whil...
"I want to just go down there and get some of those babies. If you got a hook up, please get me a couple of Haitian kids. It's time. I'm ready. I got two arms, I can handle at least two. I can take a third in a backpack, and one in the front, we could just wrap it in some swaddling cloth... give me four."

This post is for my sister.
I have never, ever been the "soap opera" type. I find the ridiculously formulaic story arcs (spiced up every now and then with a dash of current affairs or the occasional demon possession) to be extremely frustrating.
But thanks to my sister's iron-fisted control during the afternoon hours of the lone television in our house when we were kids, I know all about All My Children; at least, the All My Children of 1990-1998. (If anyone who acted on Days of Our Lives ever passes away on one of my weekends, that post will be for my mother.)
Actor James Mitchell, who played Palmer on All My Children for three decades, passed away yesterday due to a lung disease complicated by pneumonia. He was 89.
I only knew him as Palmer, but it turns out that he was a very talented dancer. Before heading to Pine Valley in 1979, Mitchell starred in Broadway musicals and performed with the American Ballet Theater.
He recently appeared on All My Children on January 5th for the show's 40th anniversary, but in recent years he's spent time teaching theater students and actors at Yale and Drake Universities.
Though I was forced to watch All My Children-- and protested every second of it with as much sass and as many sarcastic comments as I could muster-- nostalgia is a powerful and dangerous force that makes you misty-eyed for things that you didn't particularly like and wouldn't want to live through again. Thanks to it (and my sister) I can honestly say that I'm saddened by the loss of an actor whom I hand't watched in over 10 years. He was a part of my childhood-- however unwillingly-- and I will miss him. />

Andy Dick was arrested in West Virginia early this morning on two felony counts of sexual abuse. Dick had performed at a comedy club called The Funny Bone and then headed out to several bars afterwards.
Dick got arrested in 2008 and is still on probation for sexual assault. I'm not sure how "assault" and "abuse" differ in this situation. The only thing I'm sure of is that everytime I say "Dick," instead of a skinny, annoying "comedian," I'm picturing a giant phallus. Especially in the context of this next sentence:
When asked why he was being hauled away by the cops, Dick responded, "People grabbin' on me." />

With all the attention on Tila Tequila, Charlie Sheen, and Tiger Woods lately, I wonder if Lindsay is feeling left out? There's no need for her to feel neglected. If she wants some attention, all she needs to do is publish some photos of her wearing a horrible outfit on a Sunday night-- she's sure to get written up. But I guess having your driver nail a papparazo on a Saturday night will also do the trick.
Her driver was picking her up from the Hotel Cafe late Saturday night when the papar...
This incredibly awkward moment happened yesterday at the premiere of The Spy Next Door. I don't want to get into the cinematic pedigree of the film. I just want to know what the heck Jackie Chan is doing to Amber Valletta?
Is he:
- Teaching her self defense; specifically, how to escape from a bear-hug rape attack
- Demonstrating the Heimlich maneuver
-Trying to pick her up
- Flirting... awkwardly
- Wrasslin'
-Trying to look congenial with his costar in front of the photogs....
