perez vs will i am


This has been a very entertaining story to follow today. News report from here.

Perez Hilton and Black Eyed Peas singer Will.I.Am have posted video statements giving two very different accounts of an alleged assault of the gossip blogger outside a nightclub early Monday morning.

Perez Hilton Twittered that he was bleeding after being assaulted by a member of the Black Eyed Peas outside a party at the club Cobra following the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada on Sunday night.

"I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards," the gossip blogger wrote on his Twitter account. "I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke."

Hilton continued in three subsequent tweets:

"Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel."

"I spoke to my lawyer. I really need to talk to the authorities. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here."

"The Toronto police are here now. Thank you. Please stop calling them."

Will.I.Am posted his own online video statement early Monday morning telling his side of the story. The singer said fellow Black Eyed Peas member Fergie had approached Hilton at an afterparty at the club Ultra and asked what the blogger had against their group. Fergie then relayed the back-and-forth to Will.I.Am, who described the blogger as being "rude."

At a subsequent afterparty at Cobra, Will.I.Am says he and Hilton exchanged words. "So I go up to him and say, 'Hey, can you do me a favor, Perez?... Can you not be so blatantly rude to our group on your website? That's just wrong - you don't have to be disrespectful,'" Will.I.Am said in his video statement. "He said, 'I don't respect you.' I was like, 'What? Ok, if you don't respect me that's cool.'

Will.I.Am then says Perez called him "a f**got" at which point "the fans get all crazy and start on Perez Hilton. I'm just sitting there minding my own business waiting for a car."

However, the entertainment website TMZ reported that the general manager of the Black Eyed Peas -- Polo Molina -- had turned himself in to Toronto police early Monday morning. Hilton corroborated this in his own video release Monday morning, saying that The Black Eyed Peas' manager "Polo clocked me right here [motioning to his black eye], and punched me two or three times."

An extremely emotional Hilton also addressed Will.I.am's video statement, saying "You know very well, and I know very well, and God knows that it was not a random fan that hit me."

Hilton did admit calling Will.I.Am a "f**got," saying it was the worse thing he could think of to call the singer at the time. He went further in his video statement, calling the singer "a f***ing coward," and adding he would have had more respect if he would have punched him in the face himself.



UPDATE
: The Black Eyed Pea manager has been charged.

e readers vote pratt worst celeb


From E Online


It was a supertight race—a lot tighter than Adam vs. Kris, trust—but your pick for The Awful Truth's Most Awful Celeb in Hollywood has finally been determined! We started with 128 of this town's most awful, and after a month of voting, the race to the bottom has been won.

The champ cinches it with just 55 percent of the bitchy vote—so close!

How do ya choose the bigger of two evils? Reader Big Mama voted for Nadya Suleman: "Spencer is only hurting himself. Octotramp is hurting her children and giving loving mothers and women who need the help of fertility treatments a bad name."

While concerned voter C.B. states: "Octomom may be a bit crazy, but she just wants a family. Spencer actually thinks he is things he isn't. It's so annoying!"

We actually agree with both of you, babes.

So, statistically, who won the dishonorable honor of Most Awful fame-sucking slut? Was it Octomom Nadya Suleman or Spencer Pratt?

Drumroll, s'il vous plaƮt! The Most Awful Celebrity in Hollywood is...
Spencer Pratt, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here

Spencer Pratt!

While creating all sorts of drama on another reality-ish show other than The Hills, Spence's fame-whoring and general dork crimes beat out 127 other celebs: alleged child molesters, convicted murderers, enabling stage parents, anti-Semites, woman batterers, cheaters, hypocrites, homewreckers, closeted queens, drug abusers and a woman who's using her ungodly amount of offspring for her own personal gain.

(No, not Kate Gosselin—she wasn't originally in our poll. But she damn well should have been!)

Some claim that neither Spence nor Suleman should've even been on our list to begin with, claiming they're not real celebrities since they aren't true actors, singers or performers. Uh, what do you call that fake stuff Pratt pulls on every ep of The Hills? Real life? And since when did you have to have talent to become famous? That would rule out half the messes running amok on reality shows. (And Octomom's about to become one of 'em!)

And not only is S.P. superawful, he's unsexy—Spence even won the title of Unsexiest Man of the Year (beating out Blake Incarcerated and Jennifer Aniston!) back in November. Is he rigging all of the A.T.'s contests? Or is he just that universally unliked? We're sure he's loving the attention either way!

Congrats, Spence! And, Octomom, don't be sad. Second place is the new first place. Just look at Adam Lambert on Idol and Gilles Marini on DWTS. Not winning doesn't make you any less awful!

oprah named hollywood's top women



From CP24.com

When the going gets tough, the most powerful woman in Hollywood turns to macaroni and cheese.

Oprah Winfrey, who tops The Hollywood Reporter's annual ranking of the most influential women in entertainment, confessed Friday during a question-and-answer session with Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth Guider that the classic American comfort food has been her "cure" for failure.

Winfrey was among scores of female power brokers who celebrated each other at a private breakfast reception at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The media mogul's key to success? "Finding out how to be more of who you are and
using that to be of service to something greater than yourself."

simon and terri split


Reports are saying that Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour have split. According to Perez, Terri has been reportedly telling friends, “We’ve split up.

Whispers also divulge that Simon bought Terri a house as a break-up gift. It's been said that the pair broke it off because Simon doesn't want kids while Teri wants to be a mother someday.

good thoughts to jennifer hundson's family...


Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson has been devastated by the shooting murders of her mother and brother and the kidnap of her young nephew.

The bodies of Darnell Donnerson, 57, and her son, Jason Hudson, 29, were found at the Donnerson family home in Chicago yesterday.

William Balfour, 27, - the boyfriend of Hudson's sister Julia - was arrested after a manhunt lasting hours. But he was refusing to co-operate with police, or reveal the whereabouts of seven-year-old Julian King, the son of Julia Hudson, who vanished at the time of the killings.

behind the bell..


When a sex tape fails, write a tell-all book to bring in some dough. A D-list celeb and former co-star of hit 90s Saturday morning show Saved By the Bell is selling out his castmates and writing a tell all book about what happened behind the scenes of the tween television show.

Dustin "Screetch" Diamond
is ready to spill his guts on "sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying." In a tell-all book called Behind the Bell, Dimaond will be using the writing expertise of ghostwriter Alan Goldsher to rat on his former co-stars.

This brings up the point, though. Who cares about what went down at Bayside?

Would you buy the book?

brooke's playboy?




Brooke Hogan might be posing for Playboy. According to US Magazine, "no decision has been made at this time," as Hulk Hogan's daughter is still thinking about it. This won't be the first time the failed singer would flaunt her 20-year old body in front of the camera. In recent months, Brooke has posed for guy mag Maxim and also was caught by paparazzi earlier this year being rubbed down on the beach by her ex-champ father which caused many people wonder what kind of relationship Hulk has with Brooke.

In related Hogan news, as reported by Perez today, Brooke has taken back a statement saying that her mother Linda was verbally and physically abused by her ex-hubby Hulk. "Brooke Bollea is distressed at the latest efforts by mother Linda to fracture the family. This time they let leak out an old document that Brooke signed filled with exaggerations and fabrications about father Terry's behavior during the marriage. The months-old document was signed by Brooke at a time when she was upset with her father." revealed Hogan's rep.

Brooke might be after Daddy's credit card and just keeping her mouth shut or she could have also been a victim of Mom's brainwashing trying to get Hulk behind bars and break apart the old clan...

This family I'm sure will continue to have more drama as the days go on..

nbc picks last leno date..


As it was reported all around the interweb on Friday, Jay Leno has called it quits with NBC. Now, the television station has announced May 29th, 2009 as the night Leno will say Goodbye while replacement Conan O'Brien steps in June 1st. Jimmy Fallon replaces O'Brien - which should be a good addition to the late night run.


"I am definitely done next year — with NBC. I'm not a beach guy" stated Leno last week. "and the last time I was in my pool was to fix a light. Don't worry, I'll find a job somewhere."


It's rumored NBC still wants to work with the funnyman, but I don't think Leno wants to work with them.


I'm sure we'll be hearing a bunch more of this story in the coming months.

tiny twin back to rehab?


While an old child star is going through his own trying to get clean problems (see below), one half of the the biggest twin starlets of the 90's is heading back that road of too much partying. She'll even have to head back to rehab. It's been reported that Mary Kate Olsen has been doing excessive partying ever since her maybe-lover Heath Ledger passed earlier this year.


"Mary-Kate seriously needs to get to rehab, but she doesn't think she has a problem.
She thinks she's young, hip and entitled to live her life as she sees fit. But it's affecting everything," spills someone close to the case to Star mag.


Mary-Kate who already spent time in rehab for an eating disorder, was caught falling out of a club recently when her binge drinking got the best of her. Check out the video here.


In related news, Olsen's new movie, The Wackness hits theaters this Friday.

cory is just a lost boy..



In my later tween years, I was digging the hot '80s gals of the time. Alyssa Milano, Tina Yothers, Debbie Gibson. However, they were also the guys who I thought were just real cool. Corey Haim was one of them. As I grew up, and realized that he never really made one good flick (Ok, fine. Lost Boys was a real good movie - More on that in a bit) and he was going down that 80's kid star curse like the other Corey and River, I knew that these guys weren't really all that cool, but just dudes who had all that I wanted at the time.

Ok, fine. I still thought they were cool, but not as cool as they were when I was say, 13.


Fast forward a couple of decades and I'm hooked on The Two Corey's. The new reality show that features Feldman and Haim. This season the duo talk about a feud that sparked last season when Haim started to use again. In the season premier it was revealed that both Cory's were sexually assaulted as kids. It's also going down the sober road with Haim as he sees a shrink talking about his early childhood experiences, drugs and his friendship with Feldman.

I don't know, but something about your old time favorites turned D-listers going through bad times is really captivating.

As reported this week, it's suspected that Haim is back sniffing it all up while on the set of the sequel to The Lost Boys.

It's sad that a childhood hero can't escape an addiction and how you can slowly see them meet their maker but it's also very entertaining. I hope the best for Haim. I really do. I'm sure this straight to video retro remake won't make his name back in the mainstage of Hollywood, but this could be a start for him to get back in the limelight and try to make his name good again.

But you gotta think. Isn't it the limelight that wrecked him in the first place?

hugh book tells all..


According to Perez Hilton, Hugh Hefner will be releasing a book about his life that will reveal some very shocking truths about the Playboy kingpin. "This is the most authoritative book ever written about me . . . It's all essentially true," says Hef, who co-wrote his story along with Steven Watts and gave him access to his personal papers for the soon-to-be released book Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream.

Some of the shocking stories to be told include his incestuous foursome with his brother, his wife, and his sister-in-law along with the story that Hef had a gay encounter.

When are they going to make a movie about this man? I'm sure it would do real well.

wino has emphysema


With another update on singer Amy Winehouse, the award winning songstress has emphysema as reported by her father, Mitch over the weekend. The father who has been by his daughters side since she collapsed last week and has been under doctors care since, fears that Amy will loose not only her distinctive British voice, but her life. "She's got emphysema. It's in its early stages, but had it gone on for another month they [doctors] painted a very vivid picture of her sitting there with a mask on her face struggling to breathe," he revealed in an interview on Sunday. "The doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her."

About time that she sees what drugs can do to you.

Winehouse, who hasn't released any material in two years, has declared that she'll try to quit her drug addiction and stay clean. "I'm saying to those drug dealers, and they know who they are, if they are supplying crack to Amy, then they've got to take responsibility." Said Mr Winehouse, "I don't want her hanging out with her mates like Pete Doherty either. What hope does she have if people are taking drugs around her?"


Even though she wants to keep the dates, it's very unlikely that Winehouse will keep her upcoming shows including Nelson Mandala's Birthday celebration and the Glastonbury Festival.

update on the wino...


As reported earlier, Brit singing sensation gone druggie Amy Winehouse checked into the hospital Monday after a brief fainting spell. Today it was released by London's Telegraph that the singer's Dad, Mitch, announced that his daughter will remain under doctor's care until they discover why she collapsed.

"Amy is doing fine, she is staying in as long as possible," shared Mitch. Her spokesman added: "She'll stay for as long as they can find out what's wrong with her. I don't know what's wrong with her and the doctors don't seem to.

winehouse faints..


Amy Winehouse had a bit of a health scare earlier on today when she briefly lost conscienceless at home. Her assistant was able to catch her before the Brit singer hit the floor. After the troubled star came to, her father took her to the hospital as a precaution. A spokesperson for Wino hinted that she "may be kept in [the hospital] overnight for observation."


Could fainting be the new Hollywood keyword for drug problem? Even the doctors don't even know why she fainted. Tests are being done and then we'll maybe know the whole truth.

Again, get this girl to Rehab.

..and the drama continues



It must be hard when your roommate's people don't contact you about stuff they'll be doing at home when you're not there. Oh so the life that continues to unfold over on The Hills. It seems like the break out star Audrina Partridge had OK Magazine come over to take shots of the house she shares with Hills co-stars Lauren Conrad and Lauren “Lo” Bosworth. However, when flat mate Conrad came home, she had a fit saying that she had already had money coming in to talk to another 'zine.

"She was very, very, very mad," revealed Audrina. "She said it’s her house. But this is my room. I said, 'We’re not taking pictures of your house — don’t be rude.' It just adds to the tension. Now she thinks I’m sneaky and shady for doing this photo shoot, yet she and her team knew about it. She won’t let it go."


It's been rumored that the former BFF's haven't been talking for a while now. No word yet if MTV will have the girls mention this encounter next season as the cameras weren't rolling when it went down.

snoop wants jigga and beyonce's baby..



Snoop is telling Beyonce and Jay-Z to get their groove on and start to make a family. The west coast Hip Hop cornerstone who is a father of three told the RnB singer to hurry her life along with Jigga. "I told them to go home and start making babies" Snoop told People Magazine. "They should, that's the next step as far as marriage, having kids and add on to the family, so hopefully that's what they'll do!' He added, "Communication, and being able to fight and get back up - to have misunderstanding and then get some understanding – that’s the secret" which he stats as the secret of a happy marriage.

Meanwhile, Knowles doesn't want to hurry up her new hubby. "'You can't rush a man into anything whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children. When he's ready he'll let you know." She hinted last year in an interview.

Beyonce, 26 and Jay-Z, 38, tied the knot in a private ceremony in April at Jay's New York apartment.

feminest drop for rihanna?


R&B singer Rihanna is thinking about doing a feminist album with two of UK's finest voices. For her next album, the young starlet would like to join forces with Amy Winehouse and Duffy to make up a dream team of female singers. "How amazing would that be?" she revealed to BBC. "We've all got three different voices, it would be brilliant. Now that would be a feminist anthem". She continues, "I love Amy. I think she's great, so unique. I love her album. And I also love what Duffy is doing, she's brilliant, as well."

When asked on who would produce the groundbreaking release, she stated that "I love Mark Ronson. We've talked about doing something together on my next album".

This album - if it does happen, would be a very interesting one and I think would gain new ears for all the artists involved.

Breaking: Bad news. Looks like this project won't happen if Rihanna sees the latest video that has been released by a Brit tabloid that shows Amy Winehouse singing a racist chant at home while on heroin. Story is still developing. Who knows what will happen now. To see the video, go here.
