Megan Fox : More “Transformers” in Tokyo

Posted by Administrator On June - 9 - 2009

megan-fox-tokyoWhen sharing a red carpet with a 16ft robot, Megan Fox knew she’d have to go the extra mile to get attention.

The actress guaranteed she made a maximum impact at the world premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in Tokyo with a striking figure-hugging purple gown.

Taking a style tip from seasoned red carpet veteran Liz Hurley, Megan showed off her fabulous legs in a slashed-to-the-thigh satin Donna Karan gown.

The 23-year-old beauty joined co-stars Shia LaBeouf, Isabel Lucas, Josh Duhamel, Ramon Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson at the Toho cinema in Roppongi Hills for the first screening of the sequel to the 2007 blockbuster.

Hundred of Japanese fans queued for hours to see their idols, while only a lucky few managed to see the eagerly-anticipated film.

The new movie sees Shia and Megan reprises their roles as teenage couple Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes, who team up with their Autobot robot friends to stop the Decepticons from destroying the planet.

Speaking on the red carpet, Megan thanked director Michael Bay for giving her a role in the original film, which launched her Hollywood career.

She said: ‘It’s mind-blowing. I think it has opened a lot of doors for me career-wise, but there is a certain loss of anonymity, like leaving your house and having people take your picture all the time. That is a different kind of life.’

Also on at premiere was the Sam’s robot pal Bumblebee, who transforms into the student’s Chevrolet Camaro.

Audrina Patridge – Plays a PETA Angel

Audrina Patridge Plays a PETA Angel

audrina_patridgeAudrina Patridge an angel? Hills fans might think it’s a bit of a stretch, but the reality TV star is donning her wings – and a sexy white bikini! – in a new campaign for PETA, revealed first on PEOPLE.

On a billboard set to be unveiled Wednesday on L.A.’s Beverly Boulevard, Patridge poses in the sexy angel outfit with her rescued dog, Speedy Gonzalez, next to the line, “Be an Angel for Animals-Always Adopt, Never Buy.”

When exactly did PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) become the go-to group for well-done soft-core porn? They even get into the kinky stuff with vegetables and animals.

It got us thinking, if Audrina’s such a good rescue-dog angel lady, why isn’t she swooping in there to save that poor pooch? No dog should have to endure such humiliation.

Even its face looks pretty fed up with this nonsense. But sometimes, you just have to sit and pose between Paris’ legs, help her sell some clothes, so maybe she’ll finally get that flat-screen TV for the doggie mansion.

In a statement released by PETA, Patridge says, “Each year, 6 to 8 million unwanted dogs and cats are turned in to shelters, and half are killed because there aren’t enough good homes. The solution is as easy as ABC – animal birth control. Always spay and neuter, and never buy from a pet store or a breeder.”

Audrina Partridge Strips For Peta

Star of The Hills’ Audrina Partridge has stripped to her underwear for new advert for PETA- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Partridge appears in the pic dressed as a glamourous, leggy angel with her cute pet dog Speedy Gonzalez.
The Peta ad is urging people to adopt animals rather than buy them.
“I wanted to get involved with PETA because I’ve always been passionate about animals, and I think this is a great way to make people and all my fans aware of all the animals that need a home.”
She added: “you should adopt, so go to an animal shelter and rescue a dog.”
Partridge is the latest star to appear in a Peta campaign following in the footsteps of Pink and Pamela Anderson.

Valerie Bertinelli – on the Cover of ‘People’

Posted by Administrator On March - 25 - 2009

At 48, Valerie Bertinelli drops more than 40 lbs.

valerie-bertinelli

The night before Valerie Bertinelli prepared to step out in public wearing a bikini — for the first time in nearly 30 years! — she found herself unable to sleep. As her mind raced with insecurity (”I thought, Am I really going to do this? Can I pull this off?” the actress admits), Valerie Bertinelli tried to summon up a pep talk, telling herself, “What am I so afraid of? Come on — it’s just a bathing suit!”

And yet as any woman knows, those innocent-looking strips of Lycra can be a terrifying sight — especially for someone just shy of her 49th birthday (April 23), who only two years ago tipped the scales at 172 lbs. — more than 40 lbs. over her goal weight for her 5′4″ frame. But after whittling herself down to 132 lbs. in about 9 months on Jenny Craig, Valerie Bertinelli, who had last worn a bikini when she was 20, was ready for a new challenge.

Valerie Bertinelli Shows of Hot Bikini Bod on the Cover of ‘People’

Valerie Bertinelli is on the cover of People magazine. Sure, she’s been there before, but most recently it has been in association with her battle with her weight problem. But not this time around. Valerie Bertinelli is in bikini – and, no, it’s not one of those “guess who this is?” or a gross-out nearly naked picture, either.

At 48 years old and after losing 40 pounds adhering to the Jenny Craig weight-loss method, Valerie Bertinelli is looking hot, more hot, hotter than she has ever looked. Boldly standing with her hand on her hip in a two-piece spring green bikini, Valerie Bertinelli graces the cover of People with a confident smile.

And she should feel confident. She has had her problems with controlling her weight, especially after her break-up and divorce with rocker Eddie Van Halen. She has been a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, the weight loss regimen organization, for the past few years, maintaining a blog and keeping the world apprised with the her daily routines. She even mentions Jenny Craig in her autobiography, Losing It—And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At A Time.

But whether it was Jenny Craig’s weight loss program or Valerie Bertinelli’s perseverance, or a combination of the two, the “One Day At A Time” actress has certainly slimmed down.

LeAnn Rimes And Eddie Cibrian Having Affair ???

LeAnn Rimes is having a shocking affair with her TV movie costar, Eddie Cibrian, Us Weekly reveals in its newest issue, on stands Wednesday.

LeAnn Rimes, 26 — currently wed to former backup dancer Dean Sheremet — got cozy with Eddie Cibrian, 35, on the set of her March 21 Lifetime flick, Northern Lights. Eddie Cibrian was recently seen in Ugly Betty, Invasion and Samantha Who?

“From the moment we rehearsed, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian honestly developed a really strong bond and a warm relationship,” director Mike Robe told Us prior to news of the affair.

LeAnn Rimes married Sheremet seven years ago — when she was just 19 and he was 21. Eddie Cibrian tied the knot with model Brandi Glanville in 2001; they have two sons, ages 5 and 23 months.

A rep for LeAnn Rimes tells Us: “We do not comment on our clients’ personal lives.”

LeAnn Rimes Speaks Out on Affair

leann-rimes-affairAll-too-often we hear of celebrities who stray from their spouses, and the latest case of marital infidelity involves country singer LeAnn Rimes.

The 26-year-old star was recently involved in a shocking affair with Eddie Cibrian, her costar in the Lifetime made-for-TV-movie “Northern Lights.”

As of yesterday (March 17), LeAnn Rimes had posted a note on her Web site, saying, “This is a difficult time for me and my loved ones, but I appreciate all your continued support.  I would like to assure all of you that this is a place for you to hear things directly from me and as you all know, not everything in our lives is always black and white.”

LeAnn Rimes has been married to her former backup dancer Dean Sheremet for the past 7 years, though she was spotted holding hands and kissing Eddie Cibrian on a romantic dinner date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach on March 7th.  On March 14th they met for a three-hour hookup at the Malibu Beach Inn.

Bristol Palin Speaks Out About Breakup

Posted by Administrator On March - 13 - 2009

bristol-palin

As most of you already know, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin has broken up with her former fiance and baby-daddy Levi Johnston.

Bristol Palin is now speaking out about the breakup after rumors started swirling this week. She says through a spokesperson:  “It is true that Levi and I are no longer together.

“However, I am absolutely committed to being the best mom to Tripp Easton.”

The pair called off the wedding and engagement “a while ago”, revealed Levi Johnston.

Bristol Palin also says: “As for the tabloid article, there are many inaccuracies contained within it.”

“Unfortunately, my family has seen many things in these tabloids as many try to ‘cash in’ on the Palin name. Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth.”

Bristol Palin dumps ‘white trash’ fiance

The news that Bristol Palin,  and her  fiance Levi Johnston – the father of her baby boy, Tripp – have broken off their engagement after Bristol Palin allegedly called Johnston’s family “white trash” will come as little surprise to Palin-watchers.

When the news that Bristol Palin was pregnant broke last summer, shortly after John McCain named her now famous mother as his presidential running-mate, there were persistent rumours that the couple might have been pressurised into staying together – and having the child – because of the Alaskan governor’s very public anti-abortion stance.

“Levi tries to visit Tripp every single day, but Bristol Palin makes it nearly impossible,” said Mercede. “She [Bristol] tells him he can’t take the baby to our house because she doesn’t want him around ‘white trash’!”

But while Johnston, 19, swiftly confirmed the report on Thursday, saying they broke off the engagement “a while ago”, he said that the ‘White-trash’ remarks were untrue.

However, these comments prompted a “devastated” Bristol Palin to issue a statement. She said: “Unfortunately my family has seen many people say and do many things to ‘cash in’ on the Palin name. Sometimes that greed clouds good judgement and the truth.”

Katie Holmes And Lindsay Lohan – Cover Girl Fight !!!

Posted by Administrator On March - 5 - 2009

Lindsay Lohan is apparently livid with Katie Holmes for bumping her off the cover of the April issue of Glamour.

The Mean Girl posed as Like A Virgin-era Madonna – complete with retro crimped hair, heavy makeup, pearls and a wedding dress – for the magazine.

But Lindsay Lohan’s shoot – which she reportedly believed would take pride of place on the front cover – was replaced by Katie Holmes, who gave a revealing interview with the magazine about family life.

“Her Marilyn Monroe shoot for New York Magazine seemed to make her relevant when she did it, she thought the same would happen this time.

“Only she wasn’t on the cover, Katie was, and she’s mad at her now.”

LINDSAY LOHAN Feud with Katie Holmes over cover

Lindsay Lohan is feuding with Katie Holmes over a magazine cover shoot.

The ‘Mean Girls‘ star (22) was expecting to appear on the front of the April edition of Glamour magazine and was left fuming when the coveted spot was given to her fellow actress Katie. A source said: “Lindsay did a Madonna-themed photo shoot and was totally under the impression it would be the cover.

Only she wasn’t on the cover, Katie was, and she’s mad at her now.” Despite her gripe, magazine sources insist they never planned to put Lindsay on the cover. An insider said: “If that was Lindsay’s impression, it was a mistake. She was always going to be inside the magazine.”

Katie Holmes: ‘I Don’t Let Tabloid Stories Get me Down’

Katie Holmes has revealed how she deals with the tabloid speculation about her life – she just goes about her business as normal.

The former Dawson’s Creek actress – who is married to actor Tom Cruise – insists she is ignores rumors about her and her family, and just gets on with her life.

She tells Glamour magazine, “I feel really, really lucky. And you know what? I feel the best response [to all those tabloid stories] is just going about my life: enjoying life, making movies, being a good mom and a good wife, and focusing on that. Because if you’re doing well, what can they say?”

“I always wanted to do theater,” adds Katie – who recently made her Broadway debut in the Arthur Miller play All My Sons. “And that experience was better than I could have ever imagined. It was fascinating because your performance changes every night.

“You’re learning different things about the play and your character.

“It was great to have Suri come – she couldn’t come every night, but she came a lot during the week. To have my family there was icing on the cake.”

Jennifer Aniston – still Rachel from Friends ???

Posted by Administrator On February - 11 - 2009

Television stars always fear being typecast in the role that made them famous. Now as Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston turns 40 on Wednesday, she is still trying to shake off the girl-next-door appeal that her role as Rachel Green in Friends cemented.

With her most recent hits Marley And Me and He is Just Not That Into You, Jennifer Aniston manages to distance herself a bit from the Rachel persona, but she will have to try harder.

She was actually asked to audition for the part of Monical Gellar, the cleanliness freak in the popular sitcom, but the part went instead to Courtney Cox. Jennifer Aniston then ended up playing Rachel, for which Cox was the original choice.

Even getting the role of Rachel was all luck for Jennifer  Aniston. She was at that time involved with a show called Muddling Through and got to audition for Friends only because the other serial was shelved.

Before Friends happened, Jennifer Aniston had to work as a waitress, telemarketer selling apartments, a messenger and a receptionist.

But Friends changed all that. She won several awards for her performance and for the past decade or so Jennifer Aniston has used the platform created by the hit show to hoist herself into movies.

The fame of the TV show bordered on insanity at times. Her haircut was widely copied and she along with her co-stars could actually ask a cool $1 million for each episode. It was also on the show that she met her future husband Brad Pitt when he made a guest appearance. The two tied the knot in July 2000.

The only real notable role she played near the Friends fame era was in small independent film The Good Girl (2002). There were hopes that she would capitalise on this fame, but it was not quite so. She did, however, have an achievement of sorts.

In 2003, Forbes released their global celebrity list and their shock number one was Jennifer Aniston. This was despite the fact that she had not made much money and was not even that famous. She was also a constant subject for tabloids and celebrity magazines.

But soon her life took a turn for the worse. Though she scored hits with the comedy Along Came Polly, her personal life was coming apart. There were rumours that her husband Brad Pitt was having an affair with his Mr. And Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie. Allegations also swirled that Aniston had put her career before having children.

The couple were divorced in 2005. Pitt now has a family with Jolie, but Jennifer Aniston has dated a string of men, including co-stars, like Vincent Cassel, Vince Vaughn and more recently musician John Mayer.

Jennifer Aniston had much later tried clarifying the ugly marriage. “I’ve never in my life said I don’t want to have children. I did and I do and I will!” she was quoted as saying.

She tried being dignified with Pitt when rumours about the Jolie affair were everywhere. She had said: “I choose to believe my husband. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised by anything, but I would much rather choose to believe him.”

The actress is now on a comeback of sorts with Marley and Me and “He’s Just Not That Into You. And as she closes off another decade in her life, here’s hoping she will become the true actress.

Jennifer Aniston: Her Boyfriend’s Birthday Surprise, A John Mayer Ring?

Happy number 40 to Box Office champ and all around bikini babe an number one Hollywood cougar Jennifer Aniston. OK! Magazine has the adorable forty-year old sweetheart on the cover and they call it the perfect beginning to a new decade!   Predictably, it is a supposed big chunk of ice from her beau John Mayer.

The magazine adds that “Just in time for her 40th birthday, Jennifer Aniston will get an engagement ring from her on-again, off-again beau John Mayer. OK! has all the details on the special moment, and who was on Jen’s Beverly Hills birthday soiree guest list!”

More from the OK! tease includes the blockbuster bust up of the year, bloodied, bruised and all in an upscale area of Los Angeles.  The magazine will go in depth on the domestic violence drama with young lovers Chris Brown and the gorgeous Rihanna.

“What should have been a special night at the Grammys for singers and lovebirds Rihanna and Chris Brown turned into a nightmare, as Chris was booked on battery and assault charges against none other than his girlfriend.

Rihanna’s Injuries

Rihanna’s Injuries — “Horrific”

Law enforcement sources have now gotten specific with us… police took pictures of Rihanna’s injuries and they are “horrific.”

As we reported, the photos show major contusions on both sides of the singer’s face — there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. We have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.

And we now know this… Rihanna claims Brown struck her with his fists and that’s what did the damage. There was no object used in the alleged attack.

Rihanna refused treatment at the scene, but before she left cops took photos. We’re told the photos alone are “devastating proof of abuse.”

And we’ve learned it was not Rihanna who called 911. Someone in the area heard her screams and called.

Rihanna’s injuries “like an MMA fighter”

Disturbing details continue to surface following R&B star Chris Brown’s alleged assault on songstress girlfriend Rihanna.

According to TMZ.com, unnamed law enforcement sources said Rihanna’s contusions “look like an MMA [Mixed Martial Arts] fighter or something … [It] looked like she was growing devil’s horns.”

The folks at TMZ.com are calling the injuries “horrific.”

The 20-year-old performer was treated at a “major medical facility,” a police source told LATIMES.com

Chris Brown, a 2009 Grammy-nominated singer, has been booked on a felony criminal threats charge. The Los Angeles D.A. could decide later to charge Chris Brown with domestic violence.

According to various reports, Chris Brown stopped his rented Lamborghini on a quite street in Hollywood’s Hancock Park. A police report said that several people saw or heard a loud, violent confrontation. At around 12:30 a.m. police responded to a 911 call made from the location and found a female victim with bruises and a scratch to her face.

chris Brown had fled the scene before police officers arrived but turned himself in to detectives for questioning hours before he was to perform at the Grammys.

Meanwhile, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is providing “ongoing” cooperation with detectives, unidentified police sources told Los Angeles Times.

And today, the makers of Doublemint gum released this statement:

“Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen. However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved,” the William Wrigley Jr. Co. said in a statement.

Miley Cyrus Black Prius !!! Better Than A Porsche ???

Posted by Administrator On February - 3 - 2009

Miley Cyrus Black Prius !!!

Teen Idol Miley Cyrus traded her Porsche for a…black Toyota Prius. According to Miley cyrus, she got rid of the Porsche because “I didn’t like it ’cause it was bad for the environment, and it was too big”. I always knew the Prius was a girls car.

Her dad then bought her a black Prius to make up for the loss. And environment conscious Miley Cyrus loves it! She says she likes the Prius better because it’s “good for the environment, and it’s adorable!” Yay! Are you kidding me? And Miley Cyrus is on a roll with her black Prius.

She’s going to pimp that ride no end. First on the list? Hello Kitty floor mats (oh God!). Oh well, to each their own, let’s give it up for Miley Cyrus’s black prius.

Miley Cyrus Rolls in Black Prius with Hello Kitty Floormats

I have to admit that I’m not the world’s biggest Miley Cyrus fan. I thought Hanna Montana was somewhere just north of Billings.

About as close as I get is having once seen Billy Ray Cyrus perform at the Plant City Strawberry Festival. He seemed like a good guy to me.

I am 32-or-so-years too old to be affected by Miley Mania, but for those who care, Miley’s getting new wheels. Those willing to plunk down the $29.95 for a membership in the Mileyworld fan club were the first to know.

Miley Cyrus has made the move from her black hand-me-down Porsche Cayenne (formerly Mom’s) to a snazzy black Toyota Prius purchased for her by Billy Ray. It may just be a coincidence that Miley Cyrus has a new song coming out with a strong anti-global warming theme. Not cool to roll in a Porsche Cayenne to a concert singing green anthems, even if Porsche is a pretty darn green car company, it’s still an SUV.

I am not really a fan of the Toyota Prius, but there is one eco-friendly vehicle that would be an exotic car driving experience: the Aptera. Not the yogurt, that’s Aptiva.

I would guess the Toyota Prius gets about 40 MPG, the Aptera will be a 300 MPG car and looks like it might actually be fun to drive down to the market to get some organic vegetables and tofu.
