How Justin Long Survived Dissing Bruce Willis

Justin Long is a master thief. He started back in 1999 when he stole scenes from Tim Allen in “Galaxy Quest.” Since then he’s robbed Vince Vaughn (”Dodgeball”), Lindsay Lohan (”Herbie Fully Loaded”) and Jennifer Aniston (”The Break-Up”), among others. The actor was in two minds whether to accept Bruce Willis offer to play role in Die Hard 4.0 or take up an offer in a romantic movie as he has never had the chance to play a romantic charcter. But after doing the movie he is pleased that he took the decision to play the villian’s role next to Bruce Willis. I would like to see Paris Hilton be the bad guy. That would be fun. Let her play a diabolical super-scientist or something like that. She is sort of like the female Jeremy Irons — let’s face it, he said about who would he like to play the villians role in Die Hard 5. Ya, she would be nice in a villians role. She could play a drug mafia, drive a car fast without a licsense and have the cops chase her. She can do it but she ain’t got the acting skills to look like a villian.

Vivica Fox Burped Throughout Her Arrest, Brands Cop A Racist

Another drunken celebrity DUI? What good use of American liberty! The ‘race’ card wouldn’t work….guilty is guilty regardless of the colour of your skin. What has these celebrities done with their so-called chauffeurs? Oh dear! These guys in Hollywood would never go to a party without their chauffeurs and in these big limos but when they do not have a license or are high, that’s the exact time they like to play into the hands of the law. When caught, they cry fouls and make stupid statements. Drunk is drunk maybe these celebrities all need a breathalyzer installed in their cars so they can’t start them unless they are sober. The breathalyzer does not know what color you are! So why hold the cop guilty for a mistake that you have committed and then he was just doing his duty, something he should be doing now if you can correct yourself it would make life better for yourself as well.

Ethan Hawke To Play Vampire

Ethan Hawke is set to sink his teeth into a new vampire role opposite Willem Dafoe. The Before Sunset star is growing his hair in preparation for the neck-biting role in Daybreakers, which he’ll shoot in Australia. He says, “I’m going to make a vampire picture and I’m going to chew on some necks, Ya he might as well as chew some good dental mouth refreshing gums so that there is pleasant atmosphere on the sets. All those long teeth’s would be scary of course. Willem Dafoe and I are duelling vampires. It’s a vampire movie set way in the future where everyone is a vampire and we’re all eating our own resources, so we’re trying to get off on foreign humans. We’re trying to get off of trying to create blood substitutes. It’s a big analogy about what’s going on now. It’s really dark and weird and everybody’s sucking each other’s blood.” But he better make sure that the movie ain’t boring coz we’ve already seen many stupid and boring vampire movies that really don’t make sense at all.

Jen and the Police

No. Jennifer Aniston did not have a run-in with the authorities unlike lots of celebrities these days.

The Good Girl star went to watch The Police in concert on Wednesday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles California. Noticeably missing from the night’s event was Aniston’s current flame British model Paul Sculfor. Weird. The concert would have been a great date night.

Even weirder was what Aniston did once she was spotted by paparazzi. She did a Nicole Richie or maybe even a Michael Jackson and covered her face with a scarf.

The Real Baby Daddy

He wanted a paternity test and he got it. Eddie Murphy has been proven to be the father of Melanie ‘Scary Spice’ Brown’s 2-month old daughter Angel.

The result of the DNA test, which Eddie took on June 11, was confirmed to People magazine by Mel’s rep Liza Anderson. After taking the test, Eddie was asked if he’d support Angel if he was proven to be the father. He told reporters that he’d support her and do the right thing. His reps gave the ‘no comment’ statement when the results came out.

A source close to Mel says that it is a relief that the ordeal is over. Mel has known from the very start that Eddie was the father. She is happy now that the truth is out and that she can just go back to being a mom… and a Spice Girl.

Mike Myers

Mike Myers is one of the biggest comedy talents in Hollywood with hit movies such as Austin Powers and Shrek, as well as writing and performing credits on the phenomenally successful American television show Saturday Night Live.
Mike’s British heritage explains why his big screen characters rarely speak with an American accent. His 1960s time-travelling alter ego Austin Powers is a Londoner while everyone’s favourite ogre, Shrek, is Scottish. “Doing Shrek is like a family reunion,” says Mike with a broad grin. “I love these people. I think Eddie Murphy is the biggest comedic talent in Hollywood. I love Cameron, and Julie Andrews is just a goddess. I have such a great time. You get to be really silly. I do get very happy when I’m in this world.” Shrek is certainly amongst the best animation movies created in Hollywood and it would be silly to poke fun at the accent at the been leant to the movie by these stars, so all there is to do is to go watch the movie and come home smiling.

Brooke Still Working At It

Brooke Hogan’s singing career may be in the sewage by now but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have to work it.

Hulk Hogan’s daughter was spotted getting into a car in Miami. Dressed in a very form-fitting black mini dress to accentuate her voluptuous bod even more, the too much bleach blonde celebuspawn wore her favorite see-thru pumps for DJ Irie’s birthday party at The Forge.

Someone needs to be her stylist. Black dress, red nail polish, see-thru shoes and gold purse? Not coming back honey. And call in a make up artist too. We want a beauty not a clown.

Name That Baby!

Rumors have been swirling around about Christina Aguilera being pregnant. Her and hubby Jordan being seen leaving a pregnancy clinic fuelled the rumors even more. And then a few weeks ago, a source close to the couple confirmed that she is pregnant and that she is most probably in her third month now that she’s told her friends.

If you’re still on the fence about that, Christina Aguilera showed off a noticeable baby bump in her belly during a concert in Osaka, Japan this week. She’s making a ‘Gwen Stefani’ by touring pregnant.

All that’s really left now is for her to actually say it. But with her showing her bump off, does she really need to?

Die Hard 4.0 premieres in U.K.

Last night in London the Die Hard 4.0 premiere took place. Bruce Willis who plays the main character told reporters that with the age it’s becoming very hard for him to play an action hero.
The launch of the latest Die Hard film comes 12 years after 52-year-old Willis was last seen as wise-cracking cop John McClane.
It is almost two decades when the first part of Die Hard was screened and made Bruce Willis an A-list actor.
In the latest film Willis’ character is seen battling to save the world from cyber-terrorists, but the actor acknowledged that playing the New York detective wasn’t quite as easy as it used to be.

In an interview outside the Empire cinema in London’s Leicester Square, Willis joked: ”I used to bounce off the concrete a lot easier than I do now. There were a couple of weeks where from my hip to my ankle I was black and blue. I got knocked out, I got some stitches. I wish I’d kept a scrapbook of it all”, he added.
Die Hard 4.0 which in America is known with the title Live Free or Die Hard is to open for general release in U.K. on July 4th.
Meanwhile, although Willis may be struggling to maintain the image of a tough hero on screen, he has clearly not been put off the challenge of fatherhood.
In a recent interview the actor who has three daughters from his previous marriage with ex-wife Demi Moore revealed that he would love to have a son but haven’t met the right woman yet.
“That’s the good thing about being a guy – it doesn’t matter how old you are”, he said.

Networks Don’t Want Paris

It looks like Paris Hilton won’t be cashing in too quickly from her little jail time stint. Two large networks that were previously rumored to be competing for the first interview upon her release from prison both now claim they want nothing to do with Paris or her jail house stories. Sources have said that Kathy Hilton, Paris’ mom, called ABC trying to secure a major interview with Barbara Walters. They declined. NBC also has recently stated that they have no intention of paying the Hiltons anything for an interview with Paris. They aren’t interested. I can’t say I’m surprised. At this point I don’t think I could be paid enough money to have to sit down and pretend to care what Paris Hilton has to say about anything, especially her cushy prison stay. Add insult to injury because CBS doesn’t want a piece of Paris either. It appears that everyone has heard more than enough about her over the last month. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that I have had enough and wouldn’t miss her in the least if I never heard another word about her.

Super Angie

Angelina Jolie’s weight is disappearing faster than I can breathe air in. I think her two youngest children combined weigh just as much as her now. But in a feat of Herculean proportion, Mommy Angie was able to carry both kids in her arms steadily.

Paparazzi caught up with the busy mom leaving Café St. Barts in New York over the weekend who looked to be carrying sisters Zahara and Shiloh Nouvelle with very little effort in her arms. Both sister were sporting the open-mouthed shocked look and Shiloh was cutely clinging tightly to her pink satin blanky.

Their mommy may be disappearing but she’s Wonder Woman!

Hasselhoff Wins Custody

I don’t make any claim to understand the goings on of celebrities these days. But I am even more astounded than ever to hear that David Hasselhoff won his custody case. Did we not all see the drunken cheeseburger clip? His own daughter recorded that to show her father what a pathetic alcoholic he has become. And yet, the judge decided that wasn’t such a big deal after all.

Hasselhoff’s ex-wife is allowed visitation rights of course but I can’t help but wonder what she must be up to behind closed doors. It’s got to be worse than Hasselhoff himself for the judgement made in this case. A second custody hearing date has been arranged for August though that just seems rather redundant. According to Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, David Hasselhoff is upset about the drunken video leak and believes it is his private business. Well yes, it is. But when your daughter feels the need to film your wasted antics, there is a problem bigger than what the rest of us think. Perhaps these stars should spend more time caring what their families think than millions of strangers.

Lohan gets another vodka deal

Forget if some vodka company does not want to sponsor your birthday party there are others waiting to do it for you. Please do not jump for this offer as it is strictly for our beauty girl Lindsay Lohan. Yes you’ve heard it right – strictly for Lindsay Lohan only.

Svedka Vodka may backed out of sponsoring Lindsay Lohan’s birthday bash, but now another company has stepped in. New York based Gerogi is offering Lohan, as well as jailed pal of Lindsay, Paris Hilton a service called Gerogi Mobile for a period of one year that is “if they decide to go clubbing or partying” which they most certainly will even if it is mid-night. The offer doesn’t end here, the services extends to being given free rides home after a wild night of partying and boozing. Now why such offers can’t be made to people like us – many might be thinking and so am I. We can party all night and shall go and say all the good things the company wants us to say about them. Strike a deal and party all night along with the added services! For those gals get out of jail first.

Zeta-Jones saves Hubby

Catherine Zeta Jones arguably one of the most beautiful woman in the world is also one of my favourite actress. In what can be termed as a moment of sheer braveness the gorgeous wife of Hollywood icon Michael Douglas saved her husband from the bite of a deadly rattle snake. The couple where in a holiday like atmosphere enjoying time playing golf at California’s Palos Verdes course when the Chicago beauty spotted the serpent and whacked it with her golf club. Hey like can we stand up and take a bow for Zeta-Jones and this really calls for atleast some kinda reward from Mr. Douglas, I’m sure that he must have really thanked her and got some lovely diamond studded gift. The snake was later removed by a ground keeper after having to search for the snake. Douglas was overheard proudly telling others at the clubhouse about his wife’s killer instincts. Well now onwards she might as well take up the role of being his body guard but that could certainly cost Michael his bank account.

Jolie open to peace with her dad

Angelina Jolie may be opening the door to reconciling with her long estranged father John Voight.
“I am hoping my relationship with my father will be more private in the future”, Jolie told the U.K.’s Evening Standard newspaper in an interview this week. “At the end of the day we both wish the best for each other and we’ll try to start communicating in some way.”
The actress had little if any contact with hew father. In 2002 he made comments to Access Hollywood suggesting that she was unstable. In interviews Jolie has made it clear that she doesn’t have time for her father. She also claims that he has cheated on her mother, who passed away in January.
In an interview with the Standard Jolie says that the parents of her partner Brad Pitt are really great and have accepted her and the children she had adopted: “When I first met them I came in with two adopted children from other countries and I didn’t know how they were going to be. But they are equally loving with them.”
About her thinner figure the actress says that this is the result of a trauma and not dieting.
“I’ve always been lean and this year I lost my mom and I’ve gone through a lot. I have four kids and I finished breastfeeding – it’s been hard to get my nutrition back on track. Instead of people saying I look like a person dealing with something emotionally, they assume it’s because I want to fit into skinny jeans.”
Jolie has been seemingly everywhere this week, culminating with the New York City premiere of her new film A Mighty Heart. One major challenge in filming the movie, she says, was a scene in which her character gives birth.

Pete Wentz Channels Ali

Several reports have surfaced about Pete Wentz punching out a heckler at an acoustic after party. The reports say that Pete ultimately got the guy knocked out with the help of random people getting their kicks in leaving the supposed victim bloodied on the floor as Pete left with his band mates.

But as we all know, there are two sides to every story. Pete says that it was true that he and the band were getting heckled but he brushed it off. However, the only way out of the place was to pass by the guy. Pete went for the diplomatic route and tried to avoid confrontation by bowing his head down but the guy grabbed him while spitting out some expletives and Pete let out a punch in defense.

He goes on to say that he’s not worried about whatever may come from it because several independent witnesses have spoken about the guy grabbing him first.

Self-defense or a great need for anger management? You be the judge.

Michael Moore “hides film”

Controversial documentary maker Michael Moore has hidden a copy of his latest film in Canada due to fears US officials may confiscate it.
Moore told journalists of his elaborate efforts to ensure the release of the forthcoming film Sicko during a New York press conference yesterday.
The director claims that he is under investigation by the US treasury department over the documentary, which criticises the American healthcare system.
While filming Moore took three rescue workers from the September 11th terror attacks to Cuba to seek health treatment, amid claims that they were unable to access appropriate care in America.
The director says he has since received a letter from the US government notifying him that he is under investigation on suspicion of violating a long-standing trade embargo which restricts the ability of American citizens to travel to Cuba without permission.
Moore, who insists that he has not broken any laws as his trip to Cuba was undertaken on journalistic grounds, now fears that US officials will try to confiscate Sicko.
“We took measures a few weeks ago to place a master copy of this film in Canada so if they did take our negative we would have a duplicate negative of this film in Canada,” said Moore, in comments reported by the Reuters news agency.
The colorful movie maker previously attacked the current White House administration in his 2004 film Fahrenheit 9/11, which criticised the American government’s actions in regard to the 2001 World Trade Center attacks.
A letter sent by lawyer David Boies to the US treasury’s office of foreign assets control, and obtained by the Associated Press, claims that Moore has been “selected for discriminatory treatment” by officials because of his earlier work.

Kelly Clarkson Never Said “I Love You!”

Maybe you heard the song “Never Again” in which Kelly Clarkson rails against a former boyfriend. Well, this song does not really fit if what she recently said is true. Kelly says she was never in love and her exact words were:
“I love my friends and family. But I have never said the words ‘I love you’ to anyone in a romantic relationship. Ever. I am very old-school, conservative in my thinking when it comes to relationships. Love is something you work at. It doesn’t come easily. There are going to be bad days. You are going to have to work at loving someone when they are being an idiot. People think they’re just going to meet the perfect guy. Don’t be ridiculous.”
I agree with the perfect guy bit but it does seem strange that you can sing about how it feels to be in love when you never were in love. Things don’t really add up!

Exes Can Be Friends

When you see those headlines about divorce and the statements that follow, it’s not uncommon to see the word ‘amicable’. However, very few people actually follow through on it.

One of the few exceptions of that so-called promise would be Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro.

The former couple were all hugs, smiles and the epitome of close friends at a benefit for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Do note though that Joan Jett was not in attendance so that may have lessened the risk of tension. But hey, I’m just glad that they’re not at each others throats.

Wesley Snipes and Racism

On October 17th Wesley Snipes was charged with fraudulently claiming refunds of around $12 million in 1996 and 1997. On top of that a charge of failing to file the returns from 1999 to 2004 is also a reality. It was then said that Snipes conspired with tax preparer Douglas P. Rosile and Eddie Ray Kahn to submit false refund claims based on an argument that only income from foreign sources is a subject for taxation.

Now the “Blade” trilogy actor claims he is just a victim of “unscrupulous tax advice”. He also ads that because of his skin color a selective prosecution target was placed on his head. This was stated in a motion to dismiss the indictment. His attorneys attack the prosecutors stating that additional charges were added to Snipes while his two co-defendants were privileged. They stated the reason as being the fact they are “Caucasian, while Mr. Snipes is African-American.” It is still unclear what will happen but what is sure is that Wesley Snipes is facing a huge fine here and possible jail time.
