Paris Hilton: Humanitarian at Large

Filed under: Entertainment • Comments: 1

Paris Hilton Humanitarian

Sooo…it looks like Paris Hilton: Humanitarian at Large is at it again. Wait, I mean skunky Paris Hilton, for the first time in her life, is going to try to do something nice for someone else. Go ahead and read those lines again just to let it sink in.

Paris Hilton is going to Rwanda in November in a humanitarian effort to help families and children in need.

She told E! “I want to visit more countries where poverty and children’s issues are a big concern. I know there’s a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues.”

I really don’t know what to say about this. I don’t know if I believe it or like it or support it or hate it. I hope it’s true, and if it is, TAKE THAT Angelina Jolie. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Paris Hilton totally got clean (sober, siffulus-free and took a shower) and became an even bigger humanitarian than Angelina? Maybe Paris will find a hottie and start adopting and reproducing like the world is running out of people.

You know, judging from the picture above, you can just tell she has that humanitarian quality about her. Awe. America is beautiful!

Kiefer Sutherland Got a DUI

Filed under: Entertainment • Comments: 1

Kiefer Sutherland Got a DUI on Monday, his second since 2004. Naughty, naughty Kiefer Sutherland. Don’t you know drunk driving kills?!

Kiefer SutherlandKiefer was after arrested after making an illegal U-turn. He got pulled over and they decided to do a breathalyser test. Guess what? He failed it with a .22 blood alcohol level, and plead no contest to drunk driving.

What was his sentence? Well what do you expect, 2 DUI’s in 3 years? He got 5 years probation. So it’s not jail time, but it does mean if he gets another DUI within that 5 years he’ll break his probation and will probably do some time. We’re talking like 5 days here folks, or, hours. I meant hours. So Kiefer Sutherland, just wait 5 years and a day and you are cool to go ahead and get that DUI, you careless bastard.

Oh, PS, the judge in Kiefer Sutherlands 2004 case was Judge Michael Sauer, you remember, my most favoritest judge in the world. The guy whottossed Paris Hilton in the slammer after she violated her probation. Judge Sauer was just making up for lost time. He’ll get Kiefer next time, I just know it!

I love you Jack Bauer but seriously, stop driving drunk already.

Baby Girl for Selma Hayek

Filed under: Entertainment • Comments: None

Selma Hayek

Selma Hayek finally gave birth to what has been rumored to be a beautiful baby girl! It’s a good thing too because MAN did she look like she was going to pop…and had a large chest. I mean no disrespect to glowing pregnant women, heck my sister is the loveliest I’ve seen, but this girl was going to pop!

Unfortunately the baby was named Valentina Paloma Pinault. But don’t fret, her fiances name is François Henri Pinault so I’m pretty sure thats there it comes from. Okay I guess it’s a culture thing, you have to have the accent so when you say it out loud it IS beautiful. Cuz right now I’m reading it Van Halen Tina Pal Oma Peanut.

This is the first child for Selma Hayek and the third François Henri Pinault, but it’s his first girl so it’s all kinds of special. No word yet on how the three are doing, but I’m sure all is well.

Congratulations Selma and François!

Britney Spears Custody and Drug Testing

Filed under: Entertainment • Comments: None

Britney Spears kids

On Tuesday it was reported that an ex-bodyguard of Britney Spears would be testifying in court for K-Fed in the two’s custody battle. He was set to testify about things he’d seen happen between Britney Spears and the kids like how she was pretty naked (that doesn’t mean she looked pretty naked, it means she was almost completely naked), and the fact that she would do drugs and drink in front of the kids or at least be under the influence while she was with them.

Not surprising this guy didn’t even get a chance to testify as Britney and her lawyer decided not to contest the allegations. It looks like at this point K-Fed has at least temporary custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James. It’s sad when a wanna be thug like Kevin Federline is the better parent.

More recently though Britney Spears was ordered by a judge to under go random drug and alcohol testing twice each week. The judge is also requiring both parents be sober (that means no alcohol OR drugs) 12 hours before they have care of their kids and of course while they have their kids.

You know people joke, myself included, but this is just really really really sad. Do you think that 5 years ago when Britney Spears was some young hot thing, a sex symbol, a great entertainer (I didn’t say she could sing and dance, I said she entertains!) and a seemingly really sweet gal that just wanted a good marriage and some little rug rats…do you think she ever thought she’d be where she is today?

Seriously though…it’s sad.

2007 Emmy Award Update

Filed under: Entertainment • Comments: None

2007 Emmy Awards

If you hadn’t heard, the 2007 Emmy Awards were last night on FOX. For those of you who don’t know what the Emmy Awards are, it’s an award show for TV like the Oscars are to movies. I do think last nights Emmy Awards were better than recent years past, except for the fact that the host, Ryan Seacrest, was an annoying bore from the pre-show on the red carpet to the after party.

Here is your official 2007 Emmy Award Update (well the ones I give a hoot about anyway):

Drama Series: “The Sopranos,” HBO.

Comedy Series: “30 Rock,” NBC.

Variety, Music or Comedy Series: “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,” Comedy Central.

Actor, Drama Series: James Spader, “Boston Legal,” ABC.

Actress, Drama Series: Sally Field, “Brothers & Sisters,” ABC.

Supporting Actress, Drama Series: Katherine Heigl, “Grey’s Anatomy,” ABC.

Supporting Actress, Comedy Series: Jaime Pressly, “My Name Is Earl,” NBC.

Writing for a Drama Series: “The Sopranos: Made in America,” HBO.

Writing, Comedy Series: “The Office: Gay Witch Hunt,” NBC.

Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program: Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” NBC.

To see James Spader, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, The Office and Late Night With Conan O’Brien win Emmy’s? That just rocks the Nation. BUT the fact that Hero’s didn’t win anything? No writing, no acting, no best drama? What a crock.

Some 2007 Emmy Award highlights include: the opening Family Guy number, the Steven Colbert and Jon Stewart bit when British Comedian Ricky Gervais wasn’t there to accept his award so instead they gave it to Steve Carell, Sally Field being so overwhelmed she forgot who she was thanking and proceeded to speak gibberish…which was oddly adorable, James Spader saying winning felt like stealing a pile of money from the mob, and thats pretty much it for the 2007 Emmy Awards.

OJ Simpson is Still Naughty

Filed under: Entertainment • Comments: None

OJ SimpsonOJ Simpson was accused of, and questioned by investigators about breaking and entering a patrons room at the Palace Station in Henderson, Nevada on Thursday.

Allegedly, Simpson and four other men, one with a gun, confronted him about sports memorabilia. Five guys, one who killed his wife (oh come on! we all know it!), “confront” some dude about sports memorabilia? WTF? Am I missing something here because I just don’t get why anyone would do that.

The man who’s room allegedly got broken into said that Simpson demanded he return what Simpson said were sports memorabilia stolen from him years ago. Ohhhhh. But then the dude also said it wasn’t a break in. Make up your mind people.

Not so surprisingly this big media exploding incident happened just as OJ Simpson’s horrible, hurtful and stupid book “If I Did It” fills the local bookstores shelves. Coincidence? Riiiiight.

I’m pretty sure it’s time for OJ Simpson to start staying home on Saturday nights with his grandpa sweater and white sneakers and sit quietly. Stay out of trouble you crazy celebrities!

3:10 to Yuma Review

Filed under: Reviews • Comments: None

3:10 to Yuma

3:10 to Yuma is a thought provoking, gut wrenching but fun story driven by it’s character development. It stars the ever hunky Christian Bale (Go Newsies!), Russle Crowe (didn’t throw a phone in this movie), Logan Lerman (kid in The Number 23), Ben Foster (the winged creature in the last X-Men) and last but certainly not least Peter Fonda (who I totally thought was in the 1957 version but wasn’t).

Some say this remake is better than the classic 3:10 to Yuma, and although I’ve never seen the first this movie impressed me so much I believe them.

3:10 to Yuma is a story about a small-time one legged rancher Dan Evens, Bale, that agrees to hold a captured outlaw Ben Wade, Crowe who’s awaiting a train to go to court in Yuma, to hang for his horrible robbery and murder crimes. A battle of wills ensues as the outlaw tries to psych out the rancher. While I admit it had it’s boring parts this movie had what all Westerns need. Loads of gunfights, hostage situations, dirty ranchers, kids that have surprising will and skill, outlaws and a deeper struggle.

This movie made you feel what the characters were feeling. While traveling the range you felt a little bored and hot, when they get attacked by Apaches you get scared, when the Evens struggles with the ultimate question of should he just let the outlaw go and save his own skin as well as his sons, you feel that struggle, when the crazy gun fights ensue you feel the rush of adrenaline. If I go much further I’ll spoil the movie so I’ll just say, as a person who hates Westerns, this one got me.

3:10 to Yuma gets 4/5 LJ stars

Kid Rock and Tommy Lee Brawl

Filed under: Entertainment • Comments: None

Kid Rock
You never thought you’d be reading a story where the title was Kid Rock and Tommy Lee Brawl did you? Oh who are you kidding, you’ve been expecting it since birth, and here it is.

Last night at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas Kid Rock and Tommy Lee had a knock down drag out in the audience. It’s reported that Kid Rock walked up to Tommy Lee who was sitting next to P. Diddy and first Kid Rock backhanded Tommy Lee in the face, then he decked him full on.

Rap Producer Rich Nice, who was just two tables away from the incident said, “It looked like Tommy Lee initiated it because Kid Rock was ignoring him. And Tommy Lee kind of antagonized him. And then when Tommy Lee stood up, it looked a little weird, like ‘Yo, what?’”

Which makes a lot of sense. Yo, what Rich Nice?

It’s unclear what Rock and Lee were fighting about, but you have to speculate it was about Pamela Anderson, who was an awards presenter at the Sunday Night VMA’s. And wouldn’t you know it they totally kicked Tommy Lee out of the show and let Kid Rock stay. I guess they only let you in these MTV award shows if you can throw, and land, a punch.

“They say it’s only rappers,” said reputable MTV VJ Sway Calloway. “I told you rockers fight too.” That they do sway, that they do.

Halle Barry is Pregnant

Filed under: Entertainment • Comments: None

I know, this is old news, but it’s new to me so you get to hear it again. Halle Berry is 3 months pregnant with hottie GabrielHalle Barry Aubry’s baby! 3 months seems a little soon to be announcing, and it’s not like she showing at all, she’s Halle Barry, but that’s cool. I’m happy for her.

While it isn’t looking too good for her career, movies being put on hold and whatnot, who cares? She’s been wanting a baby for years and now that she has it a silly thing like a career won’t get in the way. Besides, I haven’t seen Halle Barry in a good movie for years…and years. Oh wait! X-Men! YAY! She was in that right?

Advice Halle Barry wants to pass on to her li’l ones? “I want my kids to realize it’s only through hard work that any success or real joy comes,” she told the April issue of In Style. “It’s not about money; it’s the intangible rewards — having integrity and doing what you say you’re going to do.”

Awe!
