| Barack Obama: ‘What is a Snooki?’ Posted: 28 Jul 2010 08:03 PM PDT President Obama charmed the ladies on “The View” today and confidently showed off his command of the big challenges facing the nation today. But the name Snooki didn’t ring a bell.  “I’m sorry, I don’t know who that is,” the smiling but perplexed President said when asked about the big-haired “Jersey Shore” bombshell, according to several audience members interviewed after the show. Obama also revealed that he wasn’t attending Chelsea Clinton’s upcoming wedding, said audience member Bonnie Schneider, 37, of Shamong, N.J. “Why would you want two presidents there? The Secret Service would ‘have to unwrap all the gifts.’”
It was one of many light-hearted moments as Obama made history - and caught some flak - by becoming the first sitting President to appear on a daytime talk show. His interview airs tomorrow (7/29) on ABC. Owned by the President… priceless. source: The President & ‘The View’: Obama’s quite the charmer but he’s never heard of Snooki [ny daily news] |

| Hookers & Blow For Zac Efron? Posted: 28 Jul 2010 10:48 AM PDT No thanks, but he’ll take shots of Vodka with a side of strippers, please…and hold the girlfriend. We already knew that Zac Efron has a thing for all things porn, so this isn’t really shocking…or is it?  Zac and some buddies decided to view the goodies at a strip joint on Sunday night, sans Vanessa Hudgens. And here I thought she was a freak. NY Post reports: The Disney-produced “High School Musical” prodigy showed up at Flashdancers Gentlemen’s Club on Broadway on Sunday night and stayed until 3 a.m., just hours before the New York premiere of his new family-friendly flick, “Charlie St. Cloud.”
A snitch said that the high rollers came in and plunked down a whopping $2,000 on the dancers and drinks…and that Zac was nothing but polite, tossing cash at them like it were candy. The source said, “Zac came in Sunday night around midnight with Corbin and one other male friend, who paid for everything. They were seated in the VIP lounge behind the main stage. There was only a rail between them and the girls who were dancing. They ordered one bottle of Belvedere vodka and were enthralled with the dancers. They were interacting a lot with the girls and reaching out and showering money on them.” What a gentleman! The spy continued, “There were three girls who Zac and his friends particularly liked and they asked to do personal dances at their table. The girls were all slim pretty brunettes, a bit like Zac’s girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens. They were two Americans, called Shannon and Brandi, and a gorgeous Brazilian called Raquel. Zac and the boys had a great time and left around 3 a.m. Monday morning.” He just loves him some Vodka, strippers and porn…but hey, he’s a guy, what can ya expect?

| Old Spice Guy, Isaiah Mustafa Cast In ‘Horrible Bosses’ Posted: 28 Jul 2010 10:14 AM PDT The Old Spice Guy, Isaiah Mustafa has been cast in a bit part in Jennifer Aniston’s new movie, “Horrible Bosses”. He’s hot and hilarious, I can’t wait.  It has just been revealed that Mustafa will play a cop in the comedy, but it’s a smaller role. In a new interview, he talks about the commercials, the movie and comparing himself to The Situation. Here’s an excerpt: THR: What can you share about your role in “Horrible Bosses”? Mustafa: It’s a smaller role, but who wouldn’t want to be in one of these funny, irreverent comedies? The cast is great. I’m playing a cop because I play these authoritative characters well. I don’t know exactly who I’m in the scene with — maybe Jennifer Aniston! THR: You also landed a talent agreement last month with NBC. What does that mean, and what shows are you filming? Mustafa: It means I’m exclusively working with NBC unless they approve other projects. I’m going to be filming an episode of “Chuck” next week. I don’t know how many episodes yet, but I do know I’m playing an official CIA guy (named Greta). The character is pretty goofy, so it’s going to be fun. THR: What NBC shows do you hope to film guest spots on or even join? Mustafa: “Chuck” was my top choice. “SNL” would be a dream. It was one of the first television shows my mom let me stay up to watch. I was in love with Mr. Bill. THR: In the commercials, you appear to be quite the ladies man, but you have been dating dancer Brandi Oglesby. So, does art not imitate life? Mustafa: No, I’m not one of those guys. If a woman is into me, it usually takes me awhile to figure that out. She has to hit me over the head with it. THR: Do you follow a special diet or workout to keep yourself in shape? Mustafa: I’ve been doing Tony Horton’s DVD sets for three years. Right now, I’m vegan-cleansing: no processed sugar, no caffeine, no alcohol, no animal products and no gluten. I never knew what gluten was before. Now I know exactly what it is, and it’s everything I want! THR: Be honest, do you compare yourself to the Situation? Mustafa: No, please. The Situation is the best thing in the world. Who names himself the Situation? If only the Old Spice Guy would have thought of that one. How outrageous is it? I do not take myself seriously like that — not in the least bit — that would be so pretentious.
Look at your movie, now back at me, now back at your movie. You see how cool it got? It just got the man that smells like your man could smell like. They should cut out Jennifer Aniston completely and just let the Old Spice Guy rock the whole thing. To get Jason Bateman, we could just hack up “Extract” and edit him in. Voila! Movie done! Who needs producers, premieres or a cast when you have this guy? He’s the king of optical illusions!

| The Pretty Reckless Reveal ‘Light Me Up’ Album Cover Posted: 28 Jul 2010 09:44 AM PDT Taylor Momsen’s band, The Pretty Reckless, has just unveiled their new album cover for “Light Me Up”. It supposedly shows a pre-eye goop Taylor showing you how to properly operate your Zippo.  But how are we really sure that’s Taylor? I mean, where are her trademark raccoon eyes and stripper shoes. Only Chris Hansen will ever know for sure, because apparently Pedobear was supervising this entire operation. Who here thinks that Taylor is trying too hard and is rebelling against “something”. I can’t figure out what that something is, considering that she’s rich, pretty (yes, underneath all that gook there’s Cindy Lou Who) and has the world handed to her on a silver platter. AND she’s on TV! I bet Cherie Currie and Joan Jett would sneer in her general direction. They are not impressed. Oh to be 16 again!

| Angelina Jolie Photos That Will Scare Brad? Posted: 28 Jul 2010 09:10 AM PDT Angelina Jolie may be the perfect picture of fashionable choices on the red carpet, but this picture shows the actress with nothing on, except for a little tape on her nipples and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.  “Star” magazine makes it sound like Brad Pitt has no idea of Angie’s “heroin-filled” night or this little dog collar and nipple tape exploration. What Andrew Morton doesn’t know is that that’s probably the kind of stuff that attracted Brad away from Jennifer Aniston’s barren land of coked up sex and no babies. “Star” magazine reports: In one set, the now-mother of six has black tape over her nipples and a dog leash around her neck. Others show her during a 14-hour heroin-smoking bender. “The photographs are a startling reminder to Angelina of a period in her life I'm sure she wants to forget, a shady piece of her history that she's kept hidden away, even from Brad,” celebrity biographer Andrew Morton, author of Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography, tells Star in our cover story.
I really don’t think that this is explosive enough to tear up Brangelina. It’s not she’s blowing Billy Bob Thornton in the middle of a gangbang and sniffing coke off of a hooker’s thigh while little children watch. Brad’s probably seen the pics and he’s like, “Been there, done that”, so it’s all good. Here’s Angelina prancing around Seoul, South Korea, pimping out “Salt” while wearing a Hefty bag… [Click thumbnails for a larger view]    source: Angelina & Brad: The Photos That Will Tear Them Apart! - [star magazine] |
| ‘Free Lindsay’ Rally Was Just A Publicity Stunt Posted: 28 Jul 2010 07:24 AM PDT As Lindsay Lohan’s skin gets paler in her jail cell, her tanning salon grows more upset. Beach Bum Tanning Salon, allegedly where Lohan's freckled skin gets its glow, held a "Free Lindsay" rally in New York City yesterday.  The salon sent out a press release Monday to alert the media of the event: The ceremony kicks off, Tuesday July 27, 2010 at 12 P.M. at the 239 7th Avenue salon location, with a press conference and ribbon tying ceremony. On display will be a prominent homemade Sign across the building saying "We love you Lindsay! Come home soon." The company announced they hope "the campaign will draw awareness to the harsh punishment inflicted on Lohan due to her celebrity status," yet the rally appeared to be more than a publicity stunt, according to Crushable. I know, surprising.  With paid models situated in front of the salon in "Free Lohan" T-shirts hiked above their belly rings, the protesters hollered out weak chants and waved homemade signs that read "We miss you, Lindsay." Dante Fitzpatrick, the alleged "Airbrush Director" announced to onlookers that Lindsay is "just a really great girl. I think she gets a lot of bad press, a lot of bad hype because of her celebrity status, and we know her, like I said, she's been coming here for ten years." Lindsay Lohan and Beach Bum are totally in this together — she’ll get some free tans in exchange. |
