Miley Cyrus All Grown Up In "Breakout"



Disney is sure milking Miley Cyrus for all she's worth. After 2 seasons of her hit television series Hannah Montana, a full-length movie, a book of her memoir (still doubtful about that - a memoir at age 16 is a little too young don't you think?) and now another album, she will be on another tour


Anyway the busy bee Miley Cyrus has a more "grown up" perspective now in her new album "Breakout" where she has apparently written all but 2 songs. Insisting that she is a writer after all. If you want to read a full interview with Miley Cyrus, check out this article from Reuters.


Miley Cyrus talks about Hannah Montana, her new album, her upcoming tour, the Jonas Brothers, her Vanity fair photo shoot (can't we just put that to rest?)



Heath Ledger - Dead But More Famous Than Ever


Heath Ledger passed away in a rather controversial manner and many thought it was very untimely that he died. But never has it made him more famous than he is now. Dying just might be the ultimate marketing strategy.

Heath Ledger is honored in the next installment of Batman's "The Dark Knight." Although already noted as a pretty decent actor. I first saw him in the knight movie a long time ago. He wasn't bad at all. His cuteness though overwhelms you so some character flaws you can definitely overlook.

Playing Joker in the coming Batman movie is apparently his best yet. Ledger died Jan. 22 of an accidental prescription-drug overdose at the age of 28. Despite his death, he has been featured prominently in The Dark Knight's ad campaign—his Joker being an impossibly big presence to ignore.

Joker's character is already scary as it is but just looking at Heath Ledger's portrayal makes it even creepier knowing that well, he's dead. But you have to admit, it does make you curious... definitely enough to make you go and watch the movie

Secret Lohan Sister


Apparently there is to be one more sister in the Lohan clan. Such a coincidence that Michael Lohan - now famous daddy of Lindsay Lohan just decided to announce this, 13 years later that he has another daughter from another woman who's apparently named Kristy.

I guess there will be more cat fights to come. This is something I will certainly be watching out for. Developments will definitely be posted.

The Lohans already have pretty good genes, both Lindsay and Ali Lohan are pretty good looking. Which probably goes to show that daddy Michael might want the 3rd Lohan to step into show business some time soon...

Brangelina - Not Just A Celebrity Duo But A Charity Foundation As Well


Everybody knows Brangelina, the movies they've made - the covers and awards they've just accumulated over the years. Being the hottest couple in hollywood, adopting children, they are just all over the news.

The good thing about this couple is that even if they are the "cream" of the crop, being filthy rich hasn't made them callous to the problems of the rest of the world.

It's nice to see them being so active in charities and humanitarian efforts. So few people do that nowadays. Recently Jolie-Pitt Foundation donated $1 million to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. They have also provided $500,000 for the Armed Service YMCA Operation Hero Program, which helps educate and emotionally support children of military personnel serving in Iraq.

It's not only money too, they're very visible as people who actually participate and invest time in trying to help the world become a better place. Angelina Jolie being United Nations goodwill ambassador

Uma Thurman Getting Married To Financier Arpad "Arki" Busson


Looks like female celebrities are getting smarter and smarter these days. Not just going for the good looks but also going after the big M - yes the money! I'm not saying Uma Thurman needs a lot of that being the superstar she already is, I'm pretty sure she's set for life. But after that awful stalker incident, I do believe she needs a man in her life, and what better man than financier Arpad "Arki" Busson

He gave her an absurdly ostentatious ring, with this huge 8-carat diamond surrounded by 20 smaller ones.

After being married to Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke who are both absolutely dreamy in their own ways, I guess the next logical choice would be the practical one - being a socialite and stock market broker. Third time's a charm for Uma

The Hill's Spencer Pratt Vs Mary-Kate Olsen


A word war is going on with The Hill's star Spencer Pratt and Mary-Kate Olsen. I think they both could use some interesting news about each other so why not make use of a very useless nonsense argument, mix it up with a lot of name-calling then that should be something people can talk about right?

Well it's a shame, they both look like they're toddlers rather than the decent adults they are supposed to be. Anyway Mary-Kate Olsen commented on Spencer Pratt's high school "bad" temper and controversial soccer games - which is what... a decade ago? While Spencer Pratt bit back by calling her a troll. So it's the wormy, oily Spencer Pratt versus the troll - dressing in the dark, Mary-Kate Olsen.

Mary-Kate Olsen though started this because she guested on the Letterman show and just spoke about him off-hand while she was trying to promote her indie film "The Wackness." Very inappropriate if I do say so myslef

Ellen De Generes And Portia De Rossi Nuptials Plus The Marquis Cut Pink Diamond



Emmy award winning talk show host Ellen Degeneres is finally getting married to her hottie of a girlfriend Portia De Rossi. Ellen even gave her a ring with a marquis cut diamond set with more pink diamonds.

Not only is the thought of a lesbian wedding actually sexy, it's also quite controversial. I heard McCain isn't really voting into it. So there goes my vote for him. Anyway back to the gay soon-to-be-married couple, they started dating late 2004 and are long overdue for their wedding if I do say so myself. Think if this gay marriage thing didn't push through, they might never wed. They'd be known as the "hot" lesbian partners.

Camp Rock Beats High School Musical!

On it's premier night, "Camp Rock" starring the Jonas Brothers and introducing Demi Lovato, beats the first installment of "High School Musical" with an average of 8.9 million total viewers at 8-10 p.m Friday, making it the cable network's second-most-watched original movie ever behind "HSM 2," but outperforming "High School Musical 1" which had 7.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen.

In the kid demos, "Camp Rock" drew 3.5 million kids 6-11 and 3.4 million tweens 9-14, which Disney said was higher than "American Idol's" most recent season premiere and finale on Fox according to Reuters.

James McAvoy Gets Lucky Alongside Angelina Jolie


I've been trying to remember where I saw James McAvoy before "Wanted" with Angelina Jolie. At first I actually thought he was some newbie who just lucked out. But then I went to Wikipedia and saw his filmography, and then I remembered he was in "Atonement" and in "Chronicles of Narnia." Supporting character roles that might not have been that important which is probably by he escapes my memory.

He looks very good in "Wanted" and particularly lucky to be kissing hottie Angelina Jolie who made this movie just before getting pregnant. She's very thin here too also pretty sexy holding a gun

Jessica Alba in "Love Guru" pitted against Anne Hathaway of "Get Smart"




I guess when you're movies run at the same time it would be natural that you get compared a lot. This time Jessica Alba and Anne Hathaway are neck to neck for a comedic performance comparison in Mike Myers' "Love Guru" versus Steve Carell's "Get Smart." No offense to the ladies but I don't think the actors need a lot of help in the comedy department. But of course a little eye candy never hurt either

25 Celebrities To Get Their Hollywood Walk Of Fame Stars! Lucky!



25 lucky celebrities are finally getting their "Walk of Fame" Stars on Hollywood boulevard. These include director Tim Burton, and actors Sir Ben Kingsley, William H. Macy and Hugh Jackman. Among the television stars are Macy's wife, Felicity Huffman, producer Mark Burnett and music stars include Kenny "Baby Face" Edmonds and disco-era band The Village People.

Not to mention the more popular Disney character Tinkerbell, sexy singer Shakira and "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. and actress Cameron Diaz - who finally get their place

Congratulations

The Single And The Sexy - People Magazine's Hottest Bachelors






Yes everybody from Mark Wahlberg to Bryan Spears is here. Men who are simply to die for. Men who have taken their shirts off for the wandering eye to see. Who says only men are allowed to be sexists pigs?


Bryan Spears is actually the brother of famous troubled dysfunctional sisters Britney and Jamie Lynne Spears. He's not in trouble for a change, which is probably why you don't know him. But he is quite the cutie, here he is on the right with his dog.


Next up is Gerard Butler of 300, Matthew McConaughey, Mario Lopez and Andy Samberg are also part of the list


An athlete in the group is James Taylor - tennis star, that's the bald guy on the left. Not bad I think. And then here's the last one I've chosen to highlight for this post, none other than the twin brother of the sexy Scarlet Johansson - Mr. Hunter Johansson.


Believe me he is no less good-looking. If you don't know him that's because he's into politics instead of show business. But if he does decide to get into hollywood, I'd be the president of his fan club. Currently though Hunter is the campaign organizer for Barack Obama, and that's no small feat either.


It's so difficult to find such cuteness combined with brains and talent these days...

For more of 2008's hottest bachelors, go to People.com

Jessica Simpson Gets PETAlized for Wearing A Shirt That Says "Real Girls EAT Meat"




Oh no, Jessica Simpson just offended the vegetarians! The Peta files blog just issued 5 reasons why Jessica Simpson should STOP eating meat.

1. Meat increases the risk of breast cancer.
2. Real girls don't support animal abuse.
3. The meat industry is destroying the Earth.
4. Meat will make you fat.
5. Eating meat steals food from starving kids.

Read more about it here

I have no strong opinion about the matter, but Jessica Simpson (or her stylist) being a celebrity and public personality should probably be careful about what her clothes say about her, that is if it bothers her that she's offended a bunch of people.

Other than that, bet she's glad somebody is talking about her

Disney's Camp Rock - The New High School Musical?


Disney is just about ready to roll out the new version of High School Musical. Why am I interested? Well because just to be able to watch out for the hottest young things after Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Ann Hudgens (who both can't seem to put enough clothes on) as well as Ashley Tisdale and Zac Efron - all yummy in their own right, here comes the new batch of young blood about to set televisions on fire -- Demi Lovato, Meaghan Jette Martin and the Jonas Brothers.

Essentially the formula is the same. Music, teenage angst and a whole lot of hotties going around singing pop songs for the kiddies to start memorizing, along with dreams of fame and fortune.

Watch the trailer of Disney' Camp Rock. About kids trying to find their place, singing their songs and well you know the drill...

Billy Ray Cyrus Defends Inappropriate (?) Father-Daughter Photo


Billy Ray Cyrus defended the father-daughter photo, in which Miley, dressed in jeans and a top that bares her midriff, lounges across his lap.

“I’m sorry if I offended somebody. That’s just a daddy who loves his daughter a whole lot,” says Billy Ray Cyrus. “Miley and I just got caught up in this adventure of this dream and what we do for a living and, again, we both love acting, we love making music, and we love each other. I’m her dad, she’s my daughter. If a daddy hasn’t hugged his daughter recently, I recommend he does.”

Tom Hanks Gets Banned By Vatican From Filming Dan Brown's "Angels And Demons" Movie Adaptation In Roman Churches




Angels and Demons, Dan Brown's prequel to the best-seller "Da Vinci Code," will also become a feature length movie starring Tom Hanks. However there have been challenges as the Vatican has banned them from filming in Roman churches.

Would make sense as the Catholic church disagrees with the very topic of the book so they would naturally withhold support for the movie.

If you don't know what this is about, it's actually a fictional tale that controversially claims Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene and had children. I don't believe it's real but it's still a good story. It's just one of those "what-if" tales from my perspective.






Mrs. Tom Cruise - Katie Holmes Debuts On Broadway's "All My Sons"





Previews of the Arthur Miller drama begin Sept. 18, with opening night set for Oct. 16. The limited run ends on Jan. 11.

Katie Holmes will join an all-star ensemble that includes John Lithgow, Dianne Weist and Patrick Wilson.

Instead of $100—the average price for most Broadway shows—premium seats for All My Sons' evening performances are expected to go for a whopping $251, while regular seats will sell for $116. During the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas, those prices are expected to soar at least $100 higher.

I bet Tom will buy a bunch of those for the family!

Britney's Ex-Husband Kevin Federline Is Father Of The Year?


Who comes up with these awards? Better yet who decides where the awards go? I think that person must have hit his head in the wall too many times, because there's no way that Kevin Federline is deserving of such a title - "Father of the year."



Prive Las Vegas is said to honor Keven Federline, father of four his "father of the year" status at a party he hosted there last June 13. Well, he must be a big time customer of that Las Vegas Club to get such an award, because some credentials to prove that he is actually deserving of the award is at a loss as far as I'm concerned

Jennifer Garner Locks 2-Year-Old Daughter, Violet In SUV. What Would Daddy Ben Affleck Say?




In a shopping trip this week, Jennifer Garner accidentally locks her Lexus SUV car doors with daughter 2-year-old Violet inside. Although panicked, it was a good thing Baby Violet was smart enough to understand Mommy Jennifer to actually get the car door open by pressing a button.


That would be pretty scary leaving your child like that in the car.

Madonna's Brother - Christopher Ciccone Is About To Rat Her Out To The World



There are some skeletons in the closets that sometimes should never be let out. Specially if you're a superstar like Madonna. Come on, everyone has dirty little secrets. That's just one thing that makes other people interesting. Why do you think gossip has evolved into an industry all its own?


Unfortunately though, the once close ChristopherCiccone and Madonna, have had a falling-out and so it's not really a good time to publish tell-all memoirs about somebody you're not really in good terms with. There's a good chance you'll say (or in this case write) things that you may not mean at the time.


Too bad, Christopher Ciccone's book, Life With My Sister, is set to hit shelves July 15 with a whopping first printing of 350,000. So it's a little too late for backing out now.


I think Madonna will be fine though, she's been more controversial in the past. I think this will just make her more interesting. Seeing her evolve through the decades, you'd sort of expect some bad

Dr. Drew Pinsky: Tom Cruise Was Neglected As A Child Ergo Turning To Scientology




Dr. Drew Pinsky just made a big mistake, using an icon like Tom Cruise as an example against Scientology. Speculating the Tom Cruise grew up in "neglect" is like shooting yourself in the head, or better yet, serving yourself a lawsuit! Apparently he said this in an interview with Playboy. That's relevant now isn't it?


Tom Cruise has been used to sell everything from movies to marijuana. I don't think it's a good idea to cross him after he legally pursued the pharmaceutical company that used his name after a drug


Dr. Drew is quoted to have said, "To me, that’s a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood — maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect."


Bert Fields, lawyer to Tom Cruise, has already responded to this, in a very non-professional manner I'd say, calling Dr. Drew a "unqualified television performer." Just as unprofessional as Dr. Drew.


So far, Dr. Drew has apologized though saying he meant no harm. Unfortunately when you say things like that people are more likely to NOT forget.

Top 10 Celebrities of 2008



Top 10 Celebrities of 2008 care of Forbes

  1. Oprah Winfrey
  2. Tiger Woods
  3. Angelina Jolie
  4. Beyonce Knowles
  5. David Beckham
  6. Johnny Depp
  7. Jay-Z
  8. The Police
  9. J.K. Rowling
  10. Brad Pitt

We have 2 famous celebrity couples in this list Brangelina ang BeyonZ are on here. We have a television show host, 1 other actor, 1 music band, 1 author and 2 athletes.



Forbes usually compiles top 100 celebrities based on their how much they're worth (how rich they are), their web hits (how popular the celebrities are on the internet), their press mentions (how often they are in the news), and TV mentions (how often they are featured in the media). Basically the latter 2 just state how popular they are and how socially active they are

Katherine Heigl Refuses An Emmy Nomination


Yes ladies and gentlemen you read right. Katherine Heigl star of "Knocked up" and "27 dresses" has refused an Emmy nomination for her role in Grey's Anatomy.

Why an actress would refuse such an honor? I personally would have just been pleased as punch to get an acknowledgment like that but unfortunately, she didn't believe she had the right material to merit such an honor. Sounds nice doesn't it, she sounds like she's made of the right stuff. Not someone who will just hog the glory

Shia Labeouf Apologizes For A Youtube Video Where He's Caught Saying "Faggot!"




I don't think it's a big deal. So Shia Labeouf likes using profanity from time to time. It's not like he does it on the big screen (or small screen). It was a joke among friends in a private party. Somebody just wanted to make some money off him being caught off-guard. I wouldn't say this is a video scandal like it's being promoted in the news. So he used a gay slur. Give him a break.

I guess he's just concerned about his image, starring in Indiana Jones and all. The homosexual community is very influential. I do believe it's not worth crossing them.

But there are very few note-worthy role models these days. I mean Miley Cyrus goes half-naked while Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan end up in disastrous circumstances. I think Shia Labeouf is just getting caught by the stampede. But no biggie I think. Leave the cutie alone!

Final Video? For Youtube's Biggest Online Battle Miley Cyrus & Friend Mandy Jiroux Vs. ACDC Cru

So do you think this is a winner? I think it's not bad with Ryan Seacrest and David Blaine oh yeah Pedro too! It hasn't caused that much of a stir though so we'll see

It was pretty cool. See for yourself - Miley Cyrus and company dancing their hearts out



Wonder if ACDC will have a response to this one?

Catch Miley Cyrus Kissing On Camera And Get As Much As $150,000





Wow sure pays a lot to be a superstar these days. Imagine Miley Cyrus' first public kiss worth at minimum $30,000 and as much as $150,000 if her first public lip lock is with another celebrity like Indiana Jones' Shia LaBeouf or a Jonas brother


Get your cameras ready ladies and gents! The first one to catch Miley Cyrus kissing will be rich! Those pictures will be worth thousands!


Of course a kiss shared by gal pals is not included - here's one of Miley Cyrus and sometimes best friend Ashley Tisdale. Celebrities are so capricious about best friends!

Anne Hathaway's Boyfriend - Money Troubles Again?


Anne Hathaway's boyfriend - Raffaello Follieri, sounds like bad news. The 29-year-old businessman is making bad press for her very straight very preppy girlfriend. They've been going out since 2005, but seems like Anne is pulling much of his financial weight.

Raffaello Follieri was cited in April for bouncing a $215,000 check to an associate. Criminal charges were dropped after he turned himself in to the NYPD and made arrangements to settle the debt.

Anne Hathaway has been helping him fund his "philanthropic" efforts, but sounds like he's been misusing them and is now in trouble. And this isn't the first time! tsk tsk

Jessica Alba Delivers Bouncing Baby Girl



Jessca Alba delivered how boucing baby girl last Saturday. Her name is Honor Marie Warren. Well I guess if you're that rich, who cares what you're named. There's another famous child to our list of celebrity children

Looks like we'll be seeing Mommy Jessica in a sexy outfit like this some time soon. She's set to star with Mike Myers in Love Guru

Christina Aguilera - Party Girl vs. Mommy Role


Christina Aguilera has been criticized recently for her night-outs and she has decided to speak out and defend herself.

"I spend all day with my son," Aguilera, 27, told Access Hollywood – adding that any criticism of her late-night outings with husband Jordan Bratman is downright "mean spirited."

It's a good thing she spoke up before a tainted "bad mommy" image of her is adopted, especially after her peer - Britney Spears has been put down so many times, I guess people were looking at another target.

Ryan Phillippe And Supposed Third Party To Reese Witherspoon Separation, Abbie Cornish - Now Out In The Open



After the separation, both Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon have seemingly moved on without much adieu. However, rumors of an impending "engagement" to Australian actress Abbie Cornish seem to be following Ryan Philippe after they have been spotted showing public display of affection on several instances.

It's too bad,
Abbie Cornish is also the suspected third party cause of the Ryan Phillippe - Reese Witherspoon break-up. No biggie though. They are a cute couple, none of whom are as famous as Reese Witherspoon, but I guess they'll get by.

Robert Downey Jr. Reprises Tony Stark In Upcoming "The Incredible Hulk" With Edward Norton And Liv Tyler




It looks like "The Incredible Hulk" is not taking any chances in terms of going big time. Starring Edward Norton as this year's green guy - Bruce Banner, he is joined by none other than the luscious Live Tyler as his love interest, Elizabeth "Betty" Ross.

Also to spice things up just a tiny bit, Robert Downey Jr. plays a cameo role here as Tony Stark from Iron Man. I think if Iron Man wasn't such a big hit, we probably won't see him here.

But that's a spoiler in there from "The Incredible Hulk" watch for the tie in!

David Archuleta Gets Multi Million Dollar Record Deal



Well who says 2nd place isn't good enough? David Archuleta wouldn't say that after signing up with new producers at 19 Recordings/Jive Records. Would make sense after Simon Fuller, creator of "American Idol" and founder of 19 Entertainment Label Group, called him a shoe-in for the American Idol crown.

Bet it was a surprise for Simon that David Archuleta lost. Not that I'd call this record deal "losing."
