Leslie Nielsen Passes Away at 84

Monday, November 29th, 2010


Leslie Nielsen, an actor who starred in some of the funniest movies ever made, has passed away from complicated related to pneumonia. He was 84.

Best known for his deadpan delivery of ridiculous lines, Nielsen anchored such films as Airplane! and The Naked Gun. His agent confirmed that he died near his home in Fort Lauderdale early Sunday evening, in the company of his "lovely wife and friends."

Said nephew Doug Nielsen of his uncle, who had been hospitalized for nearly two weeks prior to his passing:

"Just in this last 48 hours, the infection has gotten too much. He just fell asleep and passed away."

In Nielsen's honor, we encourage readers to submit their favorite movies quotes from the actor. We'll begin:

Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
Jane: Goodyear?
Frank: No, the worst.

Steve Johnson to God: Come On!!!

Monday, November 29th, 2010


Steve Johnson is a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills.

He had a chance to help his team pull off a major upset in overtime today, as a perfectly thrown pass landed in his outstretched arms. Alas, Johnson dropped the game-winning toss (see below), the Steelers went on to defeat the Bills - and Johnson pinned the blame on the Big Man upstairs.

No, we aren't referring to his offensive coordinator...

Bristol Palin Should’ve Won Dancing With the Stars!

Monday, November 29th, 2010


LOL. No, we don't really believe the above headline.

Jennifer Grey is as worthy a Dancing With the Stars champion as they come. But Bristol Palin, for all that was said about her, got kind of a bad rap.

Her third-place finish was, in the opinion of many pundits and Palin haters, waaay too high. But was it actually just about right ... or not high enough?

Third-Place Finishers

America's collective reaction to Bristol's DWTS run.

We've talked at length about why she should have gone home sooner, but now, let's give the girl her due. Here's a list of reasons Bristol deserved to win it ...

  1. She improved A LOT this fall, and Jennifer Grey? Kind of a ringer.
  2. Brandy and Audrina fans could've stepped up too, and did not.
  3. She wasn't a complete stiff. Seriously. She's no Kate Gosselin.
  4. Her scores never led the pack, but were always competitive.
  5. She's not Sarah Palin, and isn't worthy of that kind of vitriol.
  6. Thanks in part to Bristol, Willow Palin went off on Facebook.

That’s right Wagner, you keep on smiling because after tonight’s show this could be the last time that the paparazzi will be courting you – enjoy it while you can.

According to our little poll, which we took earlier today, the tide seems to have turned against Wagner in the wake of his cannabis scandal and along with Mary he’s now favourite to get the boot in the double eviction show this evening.

Or if not it certainly sounds like the powers of be at X Factor HQ will be taking some decisive action against him.

Cheryl’s planning to whisk Derek Hough on a romantic holiday to Egypt…

He single handily saved her life (although the doctors may’ve had a tiny part to play in that as well) and he helped her get over her icky divorce from Ashley Cole, so now Cheryl want to take her boyfriend Derek Hough on a romantic trip to Egypt to say thanks.

The singer – who we spotted leaving the X Factor studios last night – is planning to whisk her partner in sexy-times off on a holiday after the New Year. A source said:

"Cheryl has always wanted to visit the pyramids and has invited Derek because she wants to show him how grateful she is for his support over the past year”

"They had a wonderful time in Tanzania. But the memories of that holiday have been blighted by what happened afterwards.

"Derek still feels incredibly guilty because it was his idea to go there so he thinks it is his fault Cheryl got sick. Cheryl has told him again and again that's nonsense and she hopes this trip will also give them a chance to put that hell behind them.”

It’s like she’s tempting fate again isn’t it?

Lindsay Lohan: Free For a Day

Monday, November 29th, 2010


Lindsay Lohan enjoyed a temporary respite from rehab this weekend. On the docket for the troubled, recovering actress? Coffee and cigarettes.

Guess caffeine and nicotine rank pretty far down the list of Lindsay Lohan vices. Kicking her addictions to cocaine and alcohol are top priorities.

Here's LiLo at a local Starbucks near Palm Springs ...

Free For a Day

The 24-year-old spent Thanksgiving with her dad. While she and Michael Lohan are on better terms, he hasn't been able to get Linds to quit smoking.

Last month, when the reunited twosome began to mend fences, MiLo sent her an electric cigarette as part of a care package, apparently to no avail.

Oh well. Maybe that'll come after she completes her stint in rehab, which has been going on for two months-plus and seems to be working wonders.

What do you think? Can she stay clean this time?

Peter Andre tells his friends “I thought I was dead” as he recovers at home…

We were a bit baffled when we heard that Peter Andre had to be rushed into hospital on Friday suffering with excruciating stomach pains.

By the sounds of it, it was a scary and horrendous situation to be in – and that’s exactly what Pete has been telling his pals about the health scare. In fact he’s told his friends that he thought he was “dead”. A source close to the singer revealed:

'Pete was really frightened for his life. He felt very disorientated and did not know what was wrong with him,'

After emergency surgery Pete is now recovering at home. It’s not been made public yet what exactly the mystery illness was, however a message on the singer’s website said that Pete was recovering well and would like to 'thank everyone for their support and their messages'.

Justin Bieber Releases Official “Pray” Music Video

Monday, November 29th, 2010


With his acoustic album hitting stores on November 26 (seriously, go download it. We'll wait here...), Justin Bieber has now released the official music video for "Pray."

The only new single off "My Worlds: The Collection," this song is one of Bieber's more emotional ballads. As the following video depicts, it asks fans to consider issues around the world, such as war and poverty.

It also comes on the heels of Justin's anti-bullying PSA, as this 16-year old continues to prove his maturity and perspective in a number of ways. Turns out, the causes for Bieber Fever aren't simply shaggy hair and an adorable smile...

Stop the press: Justin Bieber’s had a slightly different haircut…

OMFG! Ahhhhhhh! S$%&SQ**!!!

Sorry about that but we’re currently in a state of wild ecstasy after seeing that Justin Bieber has trimmed his infamous bowl haircut into something vaguely similar but slightly different. CAN YOU F-ING BELIEVE IT?!

Well it happened so you’d better believe it; look he unveiled it while he was signing copies of his new book in New York and everything.

Meanwhile in some slightly more interesting news Justin is apparently currently having vocal training from a top voice coach as he struggles to come to terms with the fact that his voice is finally breaking. He’s 16 by the way.

“Justin is physically developing at a slower rate than most guys so his voice is only breaking now,” a source said.

“He’s working with the best in the business, a specialist called Jan Smith, to make sure he gets s much vocal rest as humanly possible for a working pop star.

“It’s the same people who worked with Usher when his voice broke.”

Well in that case let’s hope he can avoid doing any embarrassing accidental high-pitched squeaks while performing on X Factor this evening. Although that would be hilarious wouldn’t it?

Taylor Swift & Jake Gyllenhaal: Actually Photographed Together!

Monday, November 29th, 2010


You've heard the rumors. You've read the quotes from anonymous sources. But you still haven't seen Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal together.

Until now!

Following a Thanksgiving morning spent at a Brooklyn coffee shop, this likely couple visited Swift's hometown of Nashville over the weekend. Yesterday afternoon, the two were seen getting breafast at Fido, a coffeehouse and café near Vanderbilt University. Allow us to present actual evidence this time:

In Nashville

Swiftenhaal: Alive and well!

"They were smiling and laughing. They were talking a lot and enjoying each other's company," a witness told People. "They didn't look like friends."

Another customer named Emma Rice, who posted this picture online, added that Taylor and Jake looked "very cute" and "seemed close."

Shaun Ryder mouths off at Gillian McKeith again – do you blame him?

Monday, November 29th, 2010

[Video: ITV Words: Samuel Nathan]

The idea of spending three hours cooped up with Gillian McKeith is enough to make even the sanest person considering banging their head repeatedly against a brick a wall, so spare a thought for poor Shaun Ryder will you who went a bit mental at the TV nutritionist last night after taking part in the celebrity chest task with her.

The two took around three hours to complete what should’ve been a relatively short task and by the end of the ordeal Shaun took all of his stress out on Gillian in the form of a lovely foul mouthed tirade.

Although all the swearing was out of order we do have the feeling it would take the patience of a saint to deal with Gillian…

Jackie Evancho Sets Debut Album Record for 2010

Sunday, November 28th, 2010


From America's Got Talent to America's got a burgeoning superstar on its hands...

Jackie Evancho, the 10-year sensation who mesmerized television viewers this summer with her operatic voice, has set a Billboard record with the release of the album "O Holy Night." It sold 239,000 copies in its first-week of release, ranked number-two on the Billboard 200 chart and made Evnacho the top-selling debut artist of 2010.

"Jackie Evancho is one of the purest and finest vocalists I've ever heard, and the initial response to her debut release has been phenomenal," said Steve Barnett, Chairman of Columbia Records.

Heidi Montag Recalls Plastic Surgery Horrors

Sunday, November 28th, 2010


Heidi Montag, who infamously underwent more than 10 operations in one day, is now sharing the painful memories and emotions of a journey for perfection.

In an ABC Primetime Special titled "Celebrity Plastic Surgery Gone Too Far?" airing last week, the plastic princess said she felt she would "die out of pain!"

"I thought that first night that I came out of the hospital I was going to die out of pain," Heidi Montag recalls now. "I looked like I was hit by a truck."

Heidi Pops Out

We can't believe it either, Heidi. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

Montag has now confirmed most, if not all, of her surgeries this year:

  • Nose job
  • Brow lift
  • Chin shaving
  • Back scooped out
  • Ears pinned back
  • Lipo on inner/outer thighs
  • Fat injected into her cheeks
  • Absolutely hilarious, FREAKISHLY GIGANTIC breast implants

She says after the trauma, "I couldn't event go to the bathroom. I couldn't even walk for days. My face was so swollen. My back was so black and blue."

The Hills star is heaping blame on her surgeon, the late Dr. Frank Ryan, but people close to him say she's obsessed and wouldn't take no for an answer.

"I do not feel like I was prepared enough for this," Montag said. "How can you know when your doctor says it's just a little this, it's just a little that."

"It really becomes a lot. Doctors should walk you through all aspects of it not just the glamorous side of it," she says, with serious buyer's remorse.

A friend of Ryan's says that contrarily, she was not only taking her obsession with plastic surgery way too far, she was obsessed with him personally.

She also wanted him to make her a human Barbie doll.

"He sent texts and emails saying she wanted to be Barbie, to look exactly like Barbie," a friend said, adding that Ryan tried to talk her OUT of it.

Now Wagner’s being accused of buying weed inside the X Factor studios…

Sunday, November 28th, 2010
[Images: Mr Paparazzi/Big Pictures Words: Samuel Nathan]

Who would’ve known that Wagner had a penchant for smoking weed eh? Unbelievable.

Apparently the free-spirited, red eyed Brazilian recently splashed out on some weed while he was inside the X Factor studios right after Sunday night’s results show. Tut tut.

According to reports Wagner got friends and family passes for his dealer, then at the aftershow party for the programme he bought some wacky tobacky off of him.

And it’s not the first time Wagner has picked up some green while starring in the show; he also allegedly bought weed on five other occasions and has been spending much of his X Factor budget on the stuff. His loose lipped dealer divulged:

“The first time I met Wagner I had one of my friends with me and he had been smoking earlier on in the day. The next night Wagner said to me, ‘Your friend smokes, doesn’t he? I can see it in his eyes.’

"Then he asked me if I could get him any. He said he was getting really stressed out by the show and cannabis helped him relax. He also said it gave him extra creativity when he ¬performed”

Creativity? Well that’s certainly one way to put it. Anyway, the dealer continued:

"The first time I gave it to him, which was outside the hotel the next night, I only got a bit and I gave it to him for free. He said in return he’d get me and my mate tickets to the next show.”

“The next Sunday I went with one of my friend’s girlfriends and we waited backstage for all the acts to come off after their performances

“Wagner came backstage, he stormed straight right up to me, grabbed my arm and said, ‘Come with me.’ Some of the staff were calling for him to come back and speak to the fans, but he just ignored them.

“He walked me away from everybody and into a little side room. He asked if I had the stuff and I gave it to him. It was only about £10 worth and he started complaining that he could get much more for his money back in Birmingham.”

How ungrateful of him. Anyway, it actually sounds as though Wagner could get in very big trouble for this, a very stern sounding spokesperson for X Factor said:

“We take allegations of drug-taking ¬extremely seriously, and we will be speaking to Wagner”

Oh dear oh dear…

The Black Eyed Peas Set to Rock Super Bowl

Sunday, November 28th, 2010


The Black Eyed Peas are on a roll.

Fresh off an American Music Awards win for Best Pop Group (click here to watch their futuristic performance), the gang will do the Super Bowl halftime show.

"The Black Eyed Peas are officially performing the Super Bowl halftime show in Dallas," will.i.am tweeted to fans, confirming the can't-miss mini-concert.

DA Peas

The Peas are the first non-rock group to hit the stage since Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's famous wardrobe-malfunction during halftime in 2004.

Since then, older and less controversial artists such as the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, The Who and Bruce Springsteen have done the honors. No longer.

They could have picked anybody. It says something that they picked us," will said.

Indeed. We can't wait to hear "Let's Get it Started" at a sporting event for once.

And the favourite to get booted out of X Factor tonight is…

As we always say, X Factor betting odds need to be taken with a massive pinch of salt, but if the odds are to be believed (and we really do stress the “if” part) then after last night’s show Mary Byrne will be heading home this evening.

Surprised? No, we’re not especially either. So, would you like to see Mary get the boot tonight or should another act walk?

Director Bill Condon has given Twilight Saga fans a major gift for Thanksgiving: The first photo from Breaking Dawn!

The film opens in less than a year, on November 18, 2011. While Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been photographed making out with each other in Brazil over the last couple weeks, this is the first actual image from the movie.

So, what is it? What did Condon Tweet? Find out below!

It's a shot of Bella in bed, clutching a fist full of feathers, as her and Edward will be taking a big step in their relationship during the final installment of the Saga. Look for Stewart to be getting naked a lot as a result.
