She’s Cute, But Apparently Not Very Bright

Megan Fox Photos

Glamor girl Megan Fox is seen here arriving at a hotel in Santa Monica for a meeting, and as always, she was showing off what a sex vixen this girl is. And this is one thing this girl is known for world over, so it is surprising to hear that people were shocked to hear some crew members bashing her smarts. I guess Megan has a bit of a temper too, because that is where this all stems from. She ticked off some crew members of the Transformers set by comparing the blockbuster director Michael Bay to Hitler and claiming he ran an “unsafe set”. Little did she know that this comment would keep her out of Michael Bay Movies forever. They hit back at “ungracious” Megan by posting an open letter on Bay’s official website. The letter, which now appears to have been removed, reportedly says the crew members all had “the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox”. It says they “had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set” and brands Megan “as ungracious a person as you can fathom.” It tears her down to her very fibre, by even mocking her over her own self described claims that she is the next Angelina:

“She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina – second thought – she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelina is a professional.”

The alleged crew members do not give their names but also accuse Megan of showing “little interest in the crew members around her”. The letter reportedly says: “We work to make her look good in every way, but she’s absolutely never appreciative of anyone’s hard work. Never a thank you.” I think the bigger damage here is not the slam at her smarts, but the ones to her personality. We all knew she wasn’t going up for a Nobel Peace Prize…or even a certificate in office administration….any time soon. But they definitely did make a point of calling out her diva behaviour, and it’s always the crew members, or the help, or the whoever, that work for these folks that know most about them, right? I think it’s also pretty funny that the real Angelina got a compliment out of it without even having to work for it.

Oh No he DIDN’T! Kanye West Steals the Show at MTV Awards

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Kanye West Taylor Swift

Ah yes, it’s always so much fun to dish about the VMA’s isn’t it? Just this time last year we were talking about Britney’s big comeback and how she swept away just about everything worth mentioning at the VMA’s. This year, the story that everyone is talking about is NOT the story on how Beyonce swept it all under her arm this year with almost the same awards that Britney did last year. And we aren’t talking about the moving Michael Jackson tribute as put forth by Madonna and Janet Jackson. If you saw those portions of the show, then you know how great the show was. But if you didn’t, chances are that the biggest thing you know about this years VMA’s is the Kanye West display of rudeness which is likely to have an effect on his career. Oh no, we aren’t talking about a Chris Brown situation, but one that is enough to talk about all the same. The show began with the aforementioned Michael Jackson tribute, and was moving, poignant, and ever so appropriate. It didn’t take long, though, for the mood to change from bittersweet to just plain bitter. West — who has flipped out after losing at the VMAs, the Grammys, the American Music Awards and more, kept his reputation alive by complaining once again that the wrong person had been awarded a trophy. But this time, his complaining was on behalf of Beyonce. Beyonce, nominated for best female video for “Single Ladies” was bested by country and pop sensation Taylor Swift. The 19-year-old was giddy when she won for her clip “You Belong to Me,” saying:

“I always wondered what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday, but never actually thought it would happen.”

Unfortunately she didn’t quite get to finish this thought, as Kanye ruined her moment when he jumped on stage, and protested. “Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” he said, as a shocked Beyonce looked on and the crowd began to boo West. Of course, security took good care of him and as always, the show went on, but one can’t help but feel a little bad for pretty Taylor. She was a little disappointed and didn’t quite get to finish her first every VMA award acceptance speech, but she was applauded all the same. Her thoughts on the matter?

“I was standing on stage and I was really excited because I’d just won the award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn’t excited anymore after that.”

Yeah, that’s about the nicest way you can say that when someone so rudely steals a moment in your life that you have spent years working towards. But top winner Beyonce who swept away the most awards proved why she really is a top winner after all and came to Taylor’s rescue. While she was accepting the Moonman for video of the year, Beyonce invited Swift onto the stage so she could finish her speech.

“This is amazing. I remember being 17-years-old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life, so I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment.”

A smiling Swift came out and said, “Maybe we can try this again.” She continued, thanking “all my fans on Twitter and MySpace and everyone who came out to my shows this summer.” The two winners, both in bright red dresses, hugged and left the stage together. Taylor spoke well for herself, and for America, and acknowledged the elegance that Beyonce exudes.

“It was so wonderful and gracious of her. She’s always been a great person and I thought I couldn’t love Beyoncé more and tonight happened and it was just wonderful.”

You just gotta shake your head at some people. Though this wasn’t a woman beating incident, this is definitely one that has lost some respect for Kanye, and though he has apologized since, we can’t help but notice nobody is talking about the apology, are they? Way to go Taylor and Beyonce and all the other winners from last night’s show.

Don’t Tick Kate Hudson Off

Friday, September 11th, 2009

PacificCoastNews.com

Kate Hudson was spotted here exiting a designer shoe store Iris in the Meatpacking District in New York City earlier this week, looking glamorous and oh so cool and collected. And though she looks her standard gorgeous self, one would never guess that behind this Hollywood pretty face is a temper that can get a little explosive if you push the wrong buttons. But what bad buttons could this sweet girl have underneath her belt? Well, even the sweetest girls of Tinseltown will get a little nasty when their privacy is invaded, and that seems to have been the case recently. Recently she was caught on camera happily locking lips with boyfriend Alex Rodriguez in the middle of Yankee Stadium, but she may be growing tired of the flashbulbs. In a recent event, the actress was steamed when paparazzi “surprised” her as she exited her West Village digs earlier this week. Seems the photogs were tipped off by A-Rod’s SUV, which was parked outside. “She really lost it,” alleges an eyewitness. “She was going nuts.” Hudson, who is mom to 5-year-old son Ryder, supposedly tossed out a few well-chosen four-letter words before hopping into a cab. This was apparently one of the pair’s rare nights at Hudson’s pad, because the tabloids claim she’s already invaded the Yankees slugger’s personal space.

“Kate’s always at his New York apartment, even on the days when he’s on the road. She’s made herself quite comfortable in his life. Kate has become very serious about him. It’s the real deal! They spend every possible moment together. She’s even moved some of her things into his place.”

But is Rodriguez still feeling the effects from his under-the-radar relationship with Madonna last year? According to Us Weekly, he got into the habit of sending the pop icon a bouquet of 50 white roses (her favorite) twice a week, and he would always stress out over whether she received them. Now, the thought of the thorny flowers gives him the heebie-jeebies, reports the mag, adding that Kate made sure none of the fragrant blossoms were on display at the party she planned in July for his 34th birthday. Is it true love? The absence or presence of flowers may mean as much to some people, but what does A Rod think? Funny how he seems to be the quietest one of all, no?

Oprah Ticks Chris Brown Off

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

oprah chris brown

Guess Oprah wasn’t given the manual on how to deal with those with violent tantrum issues, as she seemed to tick Chris Brown off recently. Or guess Chris forgot that it wasn’t his show and that Oprah could do whatever the heck she wants. Frankly, Chris Brown expected a little more from Oprah than to do a show about how much of a ladybeater he is. Silly him. Sure, there was that Oprah Winfrey about domestic abuse, inspired by the asshat antics of Chris Brown against Rihanna. But Chris thinks there should have been another show. To balance things out. One that was “more helpful.” To him. You know what he means? Neither do I.

“I commend Oprah on being like, ‘This is a problem,’ but it was a slap in my face,” he told People, using an unfortunate metaphor. “I did a lot of stuff for her, like going to Africa and performing for her school. She could have been more helpful, like, ‘Okay, I’m going to help both of these people out.’”

Uh, that mutual back scratch party might fly in some environments, like, say, prison. But as far as I know, Oprah doesn’t make deals. She’s Oprah. She says, “make this man president” or “get this KFC meal for free” and it just happens.

Oprah, of course, has released an articulate message essentially telling Chris to get effed.

“Oprah is very appreciative that Chris Brown performed at her school but she takes domestic abuse very seriously. She hopes he gets the counselling he needs.”

The entire world would like to second that. In the same interview, Chris’s mom Joyce Hawkins reveals just how tightly she’d bonded with her son’s girlfriend. “She’s like a daughter,” Joyce says, on the heels of her comments to Larry King that Rihanna would call her “mom.” For example, Rihanna, Chris and Joyce spent two Christmases together. TWO! The three of them will be apart for this year’s Christmas thanks to a little Grinch called a restraining order. Do you think anyone would notice if Rihanna quietly stole Chris’s mom from him? I just think that would be best for everyone. Everyone except Chris. And who cares about him anyway? He can spend Christmas with Bow Wow.

The Real Scoop on Jennifer and Gerard

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler

Here we are seeing Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler doing what we’ve known them to do best lately…work. On set of “The Bounty” it seems that their natural chemistry is working well for a rousing game of good guys and bad guys on the set of The Bounty. And this chemistry is so palpable, it’s no surprise that the two have carried their sparks on set to their off set schedules as well. Oh yes, Jennifer and Gerard have become chummy enough while shooting “The Bounty” that she doesn’t mind if he uses her backside as a hand rest. But did the co-stars, who have repeatedly denied hookup rumors, take the touchy-feeliness to demonstrative new heights over dinner Wednesday

“They appeared incredibly affectionate with one another. They were kissing, hugging and leaning in to talk to each other for over two hours! They definitely looked like a couple.”

Or did they? Another version of events has emerged, “Rashomon”-style, and this one has a lot less PDA and a lot more dinner guests. Radar Online says that Jen, 40, and Gerard, 39, were joined by a quartet of friends at a table on an outdoor patio, where a big-eared bystander heard them talking about the paparazzi contingent lying in wait outside. “They enjoyed a friendly dinner with each other,” notes the restaurant’s manager. “Jennifer is so lovely, and she and Gerard were not holding hands and I didn’t think they were a couple, just friends having dinner together.” At the end of the night, the actress and the burly Scottish star exited separately in true Aniston couplehood modus opperandi, with the former hopping into an SUV with her bodyguard and the latter zooming off in his Mercedes. Aniston, who is currently out stumping for her forthcoming romcom, the unimaginatively titled “Love Happens,” reportedly headed home, and, much to the disappointment of the shutterbugs, Butler didn’t follow. This latest outing comes several weeks after Jen and Gerard were supposedly spotted “hand-in-hand” while hanging out at a New York hot spot, a snuggly sighting her spokesman dismissed as fiction. It sounds like the only one that is making any actual sense on all of it is Gerard But Butler, who last year cheekily responded to rumors that he was dating Cameron Diaz by saying, “If I take my dog for a walk, apparently I’m [bleeping] my dog,” insists that he’d be the first to spill if he was dating Aniston.

“If I was. I would say I was.”

Because who wouldn’t, right? Exactly.

Macaulay Culkin Fathered One of Jackson’s Kids

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Macaulay Culkin Michael Jackson

This Home Alone star is not one of those childhood icons that grew up and maintained icon status like others celebrities like Drew Barrymore have done. Macaulay Culkin has pretty much kept to himself in the last decade or so, though we do know that he has already had kind of a weird relationship with Michael Jackson. It seems that anyone that had any kind of relationship with Michael had a relationship that could only be described as such. So what are the details between Macaulay and Michael? Recent reports seem to indicate that Macaulay may be the father of one of Jackson’s kids.Macaulay Culkin reportedly donated sperm to help Michael Jackson create his youngest son Prince Michael II, known to many as Prince Blanket.The sperm was donated and then inserted into an unknown surrogate mother, and Blanket was born in 2002, when Macaulay was 22 years old. Close Source was talking to the British Sun on the matter:

“It is well known Jackson and Macaulay shared a unique bond. Now rumours are spreading like wildfire that Macaulay, who Jackson nicknamed Mack, is actually Blanket’s biological dad.”

Michael and Macaulay were close friends for years. The child star frequently visited the singer’s Neverland ranch – where he raised eyebrows by sleeping in Michael’s bed – and took the witness stand to defend him during his 2005 trial for child molestation. Michael is said to have idolized Macaulay, and thought using his sperm to create a child would be the “next best thing” to being Macaulay’s father. The source added:

“This isn’t just chitter-chatter, even Culkin suspects he’s Blanket’s father. So many names have been mentioned as prospective dads, and this is probably the wackiest yet. But Jackson and Culkin were best friends. He was one of the few people Jackson really trusted and Mack never let him down. Really, Jackson idolized him – that’s why he asked Mack to donate sperm. Deep down, I think he always wished Mack was his son. Creating Blanket was the next best thing.”

Friends claim Michael – who died in June – was not the biological father of his other children Prince Michael I, 12, and Paris, 11. ‘Oliver’ star Mark Lester and Dr Arnold Klein have both claimed they are the father of the children after donating sperm to Michael in the 1990s. Macaulay has not commented on the paternity rumour. My guess is if they were as close as reports say, Macaulay is going through a rough time right now. This may be one of those things where we toss into the “just don’t know” for sure pile and let those who are grieving have their peace. Like always, the real story will come out sooner or later.
