Justin Bieber Teams Up With Ozzy Osbourne For A New Super Bowl Ad

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 06:54 PM PST

On Super Bowl Sunday we will be inundated with a plethora of video commercials that will attempt to sell us various things … and among those commercials will be one from Best Buy that will star young popstar Justin Bieber with old rockstar Ozzy Osbourne. Today we get a first look of when Bieber met Osbourne on the set of their new Best Buy commercial.

JUST one month ago, OZZY OSBOURNE had never even heard of JUSTIN BIEBER. But he’s fully aware of the teen pop titan now. The unlikely duo have teamed up to shoot a TV ad to air during the Super Bowl -–and it appears they got on like a house on fire. Justin Tweeted: “Guess the word is out. me and OZZY did a pretty funny commercial for @BestBuy for the SUPER BOWL – got to make some fun of myself. pretty funny. u gotta be able to laugh at yourself or life isnt fun.” Dressed from head to toe in futuristic space outfits, Ozzy, Justin and the heavy metal icon’s wife SHARON will all make appearances in the commercial for US electronics retailer Best Buy. In December, a bewildered Ozzy asked a TV chat show host: “Who the fuck is Justin Bieber?” when quizzed about his contemporary music tastes. Still, the smiles all round suggest Justin wasn’t holding a grudge when they met on the set of the gadgets promo. Who knows, maybe they even shared a few tips, with Justin teaching Ozzy a few dance moves and the former BLACK SABBATH man encouraging his young buddy to eat bats’ heads for lunch. Best Buy spokesman Drew Panayiotou said: “We’re delighted to have Justin and Ozzy helps us tell the Best Buy story. “We know people have high expectations for these ads and Justin and Ozzy add a whole new dimension of fun.”

LOL! It’s exactly this kind of spectacle that makes for a great Super Bowl ad. To be honest, I could really care less about Justin Bieber or Ozzy Osbourne on their own … but teamed up in this new commercial, yeah, I’ll admit I’m interested in seeing how the whole thing turns out.

Oh and as a side-note … I had THE most horrifying dream last night. For some inexplicable reason, I found myself at a Justin Bieber concert. I was sitting off to the side with Bieber‘s mother (the woman who claims that both she and her son are “gifts from God”) and she was telling me how amazing her son is while the Biebs was performing on stage. There was a room full of adults with their tiny children and the little kids kept trying to crawl up onto the stage to get close to Bieber. Then, suddenly, Bieber was in my face and his mother was trying to introduce us … I was so trying to get away that I fell back off my chair onto the floor … and then I woke up. Ugh. Scary right?

Vanilla Ice Gets Injured While Ice Dancing On ‘Dancing On Ice’

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 05:28 PM PST

Here in the US, washed up has-been celebs try to attain fame and fortune again by competing on Dancing with the Stars. The “celebs” who are even wore off than the DWTS folks end up competing on Skating with Celebrities. In the UK, those folks compete on a show called Dancing on Ice … and this year, Vanilla Ice (nee Robert Van Winkle) is among the contestants. Despite his name, it turns out that Vanilla Ice is NOT a very good ice dancer. While preparing for competition, the guy bashed his head on the ice so bad that he got knocked unconscious.

Vanilla Ice has revealed that he was left unconscious and dripping in blood after he smashed his skull in a nasty fall this week during his Dancing On Ice training. The 43-year-old rapper – real name Robert Van Winkle – had stitches to his gashed temple and was left with a nasty wound on his cheek following the tumble rehearsing for his routine this weekend. The star was rushed to hospital after the incident, which happened as he attempted a turn with partner Katie Stainsby, but slipped and crashed against the ice at speed instead. He spent the afternoon at A&E being patched up, where it was confirmed he’d been unconscious ofr a few seconds after his fall, before being discharged just in time for Wednesday night’s National Television Awards – but on his way there, realised he’d hurt his ankle as well. A statement from Dancing On Ice said: ‘Katie and the crew are of course extremely worried about Rob and our medical team are keeping a very close eye on him.’ However, Vanilla insisted: ‘The show must go on!’ He told the Sun of the accident: ‘I [felt] like I got hit by a train. [Skating partner] Katie [Stainsby] scraped me off the ice. ‘I had no idea what happened at first – I was out for a few minutes. There was blood everywhere.’ Talking about his fall on Daybreak this morning, the star said he was hoping that his confidence hadn’t taken a knocking from the tumble, as his scores have improved week on week so far. Last week, his dancing to Minnie The Moocher landed him and Katie 16 points and fifth place on the leader board after scoring 15 on his first outing:

He said of the show: ‘It’s the greatest show on earth until you crash.’ Showing off his war wounds, he explained: ‘I’ve got some bruising here and some makeup and a nice few stitches here and a cut. ‘But I’m going to be alright, I race dirt bikes, this is something that happens, you crash you get up, you dust your shoulder off and you get back out there.’ His ice dance partner Katie told Christine and Dan … that she was hugely proud of Rob’s attitude, but the accident had left her shocked.

UGH. Firstly, I’m very glad to know that Vanilla Ice wasn’t seriously injured in this accident. Secondly, I’m very bummed to learn that the poor guy has to skate on a reality TV show in order to make a little money and garner a little fame. This story is just sad all the way around. Poor thing.

Jason Davis Busted!

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 04:34 PM PST

Jason Davis, older brother of Brandon Davis [the guy who popularized the term Firecrotch in honor of Lindsay Lohan] who is famous only because of his wealth and his tragic substance abuse issues, was arrested in Newport Beach, CA last night on charges of — you guessed it — drug possession. I understand that Davis is a “graduate” of Dr. Drew‘s Celebrity Rehab TV show … which doesn’t seem to be a very good endorsement for Dr. Drew‘s treatment techniques.

Jason Davis — the famously inebriated grandson of Marvin Davis and alum of “Celebrity Rehab” — was arrested last night in Newport Beach, CA. for possession of a controlled substance … TMZ has learned. The arrest comes a day after the “Celebrity Rehab” live reunion show, in which Jason claimed to be clean. Davis — brother of Brandon Davis — is otherwise known on TMZ as Gummi Bear. He’s been busted for heroin in the past. Davis is being held on $20,000 bail.

While it’s true that Money Can’t Buy You Class, it’s also true that money can’t buy you happiness either. The Davis brothers are notorious for burning thru their family’s wealth on high-priced ticket items … including, apparently, illegal controlled substances. Sad.

Charlie Sheen Checks In To Rehab

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 03:20 PM PST

Yesterday Charlie Sheen was rushed to the emergency room after enjoying a 36-hour drug-fueled party with 5 porn stars at his home. Earlier today we got to hear many of the details about what Charlie got up into during his 36-hour party. Right now we learn that Charlie has **finally** decided to voluntarily check himself in to rehab to get treatment for his deadly addictions.

Charlie Sheen has entered rehab, his rep tells EW. "Charlie Sheen has voluntarily entered an undisclosed rehabilitation center today. He is most grateful to all who have expressed their concern. Mr. Sheen asks that his privacy be respected at this time and that no additional information will be provided," the rep says in a statement. CBS also released a statement saying Two and a Half Men will go on production hiatus, following the news. "We are profoundly concerned for his health and well-being, and support his decision," the network says in a statement.

Whether or not this is truly a voluntary decision by Sheen himself to get help or the result of pressure from those around him is anybody’s guess. What is important to take away from this is that a very sick and troubled person is now in a better position to get the help that might save his life. Let’s wish him the best of luck.

T-Pain Shows Off His New Facebook-Inspired Tattoo

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 02:30 PM PST

So, apparently, rap superstar T-Pain gets a tattoo every time he goes to Hawaii. On his latest visit, T-Pain decided to get a tattoo homage to his favorite social networking site and then share a photo of it on his official Twitter profile. That’s right folks, T-Pain got a Facebook-inspired tattoo.

I get a tatt every time I come to Hawaii. I think this ones pretty sweet, unless facebook shuts down soon 0_o

My guess is that this horribly tragic Facebook tat will fit in nicely with the now outdated My Space, Friendster and AOL tattoos that he may have elsewhere on his body. But, as idiotic as this tattoo seems to me, I think it’s still better than the new tattoo that Gucci Mane just got inked on his face:


If you had to pick, and you do, which of these two tattoos do YOU think is more tragic?

Britney Spears’s Choreographer Dishes New Details About Her New Music Video

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 01:45 PM PST

While we still do not know when we will get to see Britney Spears‘s new music video for her new single Hold It Against Me, her choreographer Brian Friedman is giving us new deets about the video shoot and what we can expect to see when it finally gets released. Talking to MTV, Friedman explains how exciting it was for him to work with Britney on this latest music video and his excitement is really infectious! Just hearing him talk about the vid makes me want to see it all the more!!

“I didn’t necessarily have pressure with this — it was more excitement,” [Brian Friedman] said of working with the pop diva again. “I haven’t been with Britney in five years on a project, so it was excitement to be back with her. It was excitement to get her dancing really hard again ’cause she’s had a couple of years where she’s been dancing different styles of dance and it hasn’t been me. It’s not necessarily that she hasn’t been dancing, it hasn’t been what I get from her, and what I seem to get from her is this tigress quality,” he continued. “And she prowls. She really dominates when she does my choreography, and that’s what I wanted to get back. Excited yes, scared no” … While Friedman danced around any specific details about the clip, he did share that the video will have 10 male dancers. He also told us his favorite part: “I love nudity,” he teased. “I can tell you that Britney is wearing a couple of hats in this video — not literal hats, but she’s playing roles in this video. That is what I can give you,” he explained. “In every role, she is dancing. She is going to be dancing throughout the whole video. Like I said: Dance is the focal point of this video.” He also teased a bit about the costumes: “She’s taking fashion risks. Things we’ve never seen her wear before she’s wearing in this video, and I think it’s just very sexy and it’s a little bit playful,” he added. “She’s going to be doing something in this video that we’ve never seen her do. I’m not gonna tell you what that is but she’s going to be sweating and she’s going to be getting bruised and battered.”

Squeeeee!! This is so exciting. I understand that we may get to see a new photo from the Hold It Against Me music video set soon as well as a tease of the album artwork. Since the Grammy Awards will be held on February 13, I’m guessing we’ll have to wait at least that long until we get to see the clip.

Accept No Imitations

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 01:16 PM PST

The 5th season of the UK series Skins premiered on E4 last night, introducing a new cast of characters on the show. As you may know, MTV premiered the US version of Skins a couple of weeks ago which, IMHO, is just an embarrassingly bad copy of the far superior original series. I was able to watch last night’s premiere of Skins online and was immediately impressed with the episode in the first 2 minutes. The show is that good.


I have watched all 4 seasons of the UK version of Skins and am well aware of how excellent the writing is but I continue to be impressed by how fantastic the acting is. Without exaggeration, it is painful to watch the totally amateurish acting on the US version but it is an absolute delight to watch the British actors on the show. Episode 1 of season 5 was centered on the character Frankie who dealt with severe bullying at her previous school and hopes to avoid repeat treatment at her new school. Because she looks different, she is an immediate lightening rod for teasing. It’s not totally clear where the story this season will end up but I really do like the way things got started. If I can impart one piece of advice that I wish all of you would take to heart, it’s that you MUST watch the original version Skins (all 5 seasons) and try to avoid the US version at all costs. The UK version is just so good, I promise … it is one of the best TV shows on the air right now. The show is available on Netflix here in the US and the new season can be streamed online (if you know where to look). I am just so glad that Skins is back with new eps. I can’t wait to watch more.

Last night, David and I trekked down to Manhattan Beach with our friend Michael so that we could all meet Emma’s sister Chelsea who is visiting from San Francisco. She is a total doll and we all loved her immediately. We all had a great dinner at Pancho’s and then enjoyed a short walk along the beach before we came home. ‘Twas a fun night, indeed.

Not sure what the plan is for tonight … but it’s Friday so, I’m sure we’ll think of something fun. I hear talk of a trip to Disneyland tomorrow. Happy Weekend!!

Natalie Portman & Benjamin Millepied Brave The Cold Streets Of NYC

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 11:53 AM PST

While Hugh Jackman seems to be LOVING all the cold winter snow that has fallen this week in NYC, it appears that there are other famous New Yorkers who aren’t quite as pleased with the weather. Heavily clothed Academy Award nominated actress Natalie Portman and her Black Swan co-star/fiancée Benjamin Millepied were spotted braving the bitter cold NY weather this week trying to stay as warm (and covered) as possible.


Altho her face is entirely covered, I think we can safely assume that it’s Natalie Portman underneath all of these coverings. It appears that she is taking great pains to save her voice from the bitter cold so that she will be ready to give her acceptance speech next month should she win her nomination for Best Actress. Unfortch for us, we may be in for another attack by her horrifying laugh as a result but … meh, it’s her time to shine:


Stay warm Nat, see you at the Oscars soon!!

Christina Aguilera Takes Max Liron To The Aquarium of the Pacific

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 11:21 AM PST

When last we saw photos of Christina Aguilera, who was just picked to sing the national anthem at Super Bowl XLV next month, out and about with her son Max Liron and her lover Matthew Rutler, the little family was celebrating Max‘s birthday at Disneyland. Yesterday, the trio made their way to the Aquarium of the Pacific to enjoy another fun-filled day together.


As you can see, Xtina lovingly carried her son while Matthew lovingly carried Xtina‘s purse. So sweet. While I’m certain Xtina et al. had themselves a lot of fun at the aquarium yesterday, I highly doubt she had as much fun as she did when she partied so hard at Jeremy Renner‘s house that she passed out on his bed. Ah well, I guess there’s a time and a place for everything.

New Details About The New ‘ThunderCats’ Have Been Released

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 10:45 AM PST

On Wednesday we got our FIRST LOOK at the new version of the animated series ThunderCats and today we get to hear from series producer Ethan Spaulding about the show’s revamp and what is in store for the new series. Here are a few excpets from Spaulding‘s interview with MTV.

MTV NEWS: First off, tell me about the general idea going into the redesign process. How did you approach the task of changing the characters’ appearance for a new generation while staying true to the original series’ fans?
ETHAN SPAULDING: We decided that it would be best to keep the core character traits of all the characters — specifically their colors — so at first glance you can tell who each one of them is. We really kept that core spirit of all the characters and just updated them with a little more realistic armor, and some of the ’80s aspects — like Lion-O’s exposed midriff. The original designs are great, but the world we have going on in this story, we had to fit our designs to that story, so that was our overall impetus.

MTV: Everyone’s asking about the anime vibe in the image. Will the series have an anime feel to it? Does the anime vibe extend beyond the character designs?
SPAULDING: [It will extend to] the visual storytelling as well. The original show was done in Japan, and many people probably don’t know that. A lot of the artists went on to be in Studio Ghibli, and worked on [Hayao] Miyazaki’s first film. So “ThunderCats” does have a footprint in Japanese animation. We’re kind of going back and honoring that in the new series. I was always a huge fan of the original show and I love the Japanese animation and what they can do, so we’re really going back to the roots.

MTV: Were there any elements of the original series that you felt strongly about improving in the new series? Was there anything you felt like there was an opportunity to change for the better in this redesign?
SPAULDING: Not so much. We just had to update it and give it a new spin. Looking at what they were wearing back then, it was more of a superhero show. You can see that in the old lineup, and they looked like they were more of a superhero team. With our back story, we couldn’t go in that direction.

MTV: Another thing everyone’s asking about is the characters we don’t see in the new image. What’s up with Snarf, or WilyKit and WilyKat? Will we see them soon?
SPAULDING: Yeah, you’ll see them. We’re gong to slowly reveal that stuff. Rest assured, they’re in there, and they look great. They’re redesigned in a little different way, though, and you’ll see what I mean when it comes time to reveal them.

MTV: When I spoke to your co-producer, Michael Jelenic, about the series, he talked about how one of the redesign strategies was to mute the bright colors of the original a little, and give it a darker tone. How do you describe the overall redesign theme?
SPAULDING: It’s more realistic, more real-world palette. The Japanese animations are great. The colors are keyed a lot different than the American animation, and there’s a little bit more variety going on. We’re fans of that style. You get a little more attention paid to the lighting in this show, the sense of atmosphere, and the scope of the project. We’re going for a movie feel, and hopefully we’re achieving that.

MTV: Are you surprised by the massive reaction to the series and everything that’s been released so far?
SPAULDING: A little surprised, yeah — but when I think about it, I understand it. “ThunderCats” has been in pop culture since 1985, so it’s had time to marinate.

MTV: What attracted you to this project in the first place? Were you a big fan of the original series?
SPAULDING: I was a big fan when I was young. Everyone talks about the opening animation for “ThunderCats,” and it’s still to this day one of the greatest openings of any animated series. I appreciated the fantasy and science-fiction elements, and gravitated toward the character designs. I drew when I was a kid, so I always responded to the way everything looked in that show. Hopefully we’re doing justice to the characters. They’re icons now, and we’re trying to do justice to the old show and its spirit, and flesh out the characters more so than the original series.

HMMMM. At this point, I’m still not in love with the idea of this revamp, especially considering the changes that have been made … but those feelings come solely from my intense love of the original series … a love that goes back a very long way:


That being said, I think I can appreciate this new series for what it is … an updated remake that attempts to breathe new life into a classic series. Again, I’ll reserve judgment until the show comes out on Cartoon Network later on this year. But, I think I’ll bust out my ThunderCats DVDs to rewatch the original series in the meantime.

Lady Gaga Releases The Lyrics To New Song ‘Born This Way’ [UPDATE]

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 09:52 AM PST

At the start of the month Lady Gaga released the first image from her upcoming new album Born This Way. Last week we got our first listen of a song titled Scheiße that will be featured on the album. Today we get to read the full lyrics to Gaga‘s title track Born This Way.

INTRO:
It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
’cause you were Born This Way, Baby

VERSE:
MY MAMA TOLD ME WHEN I WAS YOUNG
WE ARE ALL BORN SUPERSTARS

SHE ROLLED MY HAIR AND PUT MY LIPSTICK ON
IN THE GLASS OF HER BOUDOIR

“THERE’S NOTHIN WRONG WITH LOVIN WHO YOU ARE”
SHE SAID, “‘CAUSE HE MADE YOU PERFECT, BABE”

“SO HOLD YOUR HEAD UP GIRL AND YOU’LL GO FAR,
LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY”

CHORUS:
I’M BEAUTIFUL IN MY WAY
‘CAUSE GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES
I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS BORN THIS WAY

DON’T HIDE YOURSELF IN REGRET
JUST LOVE YOURSELF AND YOU’RE SET
I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS BORN THIS WAY

POST-CHORUS:
OOO THERE AIN’T NO OTHER WAY
BABY I WAS BORN THIS WAY
BABY I WAS BORN THIS WAY
OOO THERE AIN’T NO OTHER WAY
BABY I WAS BORN-
I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS BORN THIS WAY

DON’T BE A DRAG -JUST BE A QUEEN
DON’T BE A DRAG -JUST BE A QUEEN
DON’T BE A DRAG -JUST BE A QUEEN
DON’T BE!

VERSE:
GIVE YOURSELF PRUDENCE
AND LOVE YOUR FRIENDS
SUBWAY KID, REJOICE YOUR TRUTH

IN THE RELIGION OF THE INSECURE
I MUST BE MYSELF, RESPECT MY YOUTH

A DIFFERENT LOVER IS NOT A SIN
BELIEVE CAPITAL H-I-M (HEY HEY HEY)
I LOVE MY LIFE I LOVE THIS RECORD AND
MI AMORE VOLE FE YAH (LOVE NEEDS FAITH)

REPEAT CHORUS + POST-CHORUS

BRIDGE:
DON’T BE A DRAG, JUST BE A QUEEN
WHETHER YOU’RE BROKE OR EVERGREEN
YOU’RE BLACK, WHITE, BEIGE, CHOLA DESCENT
YOU’RE LEBANESE, YOU’RE ORIENT
WHETHER LIFE’S DISABILITIES
LEFT YOU OUTCAST, BULLIED, OR TEASED
REJOICE AND LOVE YOURSELF TODAY
‘CAUSE BABY YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY

NO MATTER GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BI,
LESBIAN, TRANSGENDERED LIFE
I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS BORN TO SURVIVE
NO MATTER BLACK, WHITE OR BEIGE
CHOLA OR ORIENT MADE
I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS BORN TO BE BRAVE

REPEAT CHORUS

OUTRO/REFRAIN:
I WAS BORN THIS WAY HEY!
I WAS BORN THIS WAY HEY!
I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS BORN THIS WAY HEY!

I WAS BORN THIS WAY HEY!
I WAS BORN THIS WAY HEY!
I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS BORN THIS WAY HEY!

To be honest, I’m very impressed with the inclusive message contained in these lyrics. Altho I do not count myself as a Lady Gaga fan, I continue to be impressed with the way she advocates acceptance for all. What do y’all think of these lyrics? Does Born This Way read to you like an anthem that might change the world?

UPDATE: Shortly after these lyrics were released today, allegations of plagiarism have surfaced. Based on some of the lyrics and the tone of the song, Born This Way by Lady Gaga seems to bear a STRIKING resemblance to the 1975 song I Was Born This Way by a singer named Valentino:


I Was Born This Way is largely credited as the first ever “coming out” song … is it possible that Gaga‘s attempt to pay homage to Valentino‘s song actually turned out to be more of a rip-off? Thoughts?

Watch: ‘Real Housewife’ Kim Richards Drunk & Poppin’ Pills At The Airport

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 09:34 AM PST

Last night Bravo TV aired part 1 of the reunion special of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills … and while the ep was juicy fun to watch, it appears that the real dirt is being saved for part 2 of the reunion special scheduled to air next Tuesday. The show has been teasing the possibility that castmember Kim Richards has a substance abuse problem (and it appears that that subject will be discussed on Tuesday’s episode) but today we get to see video provided by TMZ of Kim very obviously so inebriated at an airport this past Summer that she was not allowed to fly.

“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kim Richards was confronted by cops at an airport recently after terminal staff complained she was TOO WASTED to fly … and it was all caught on tape. TMZ obtained footage of a boozy Kim slurring, stammering and popping pills at San Francisco International airport back in July. After repeatedly bothering staff about a flight delay — airport security arrives to the scene to help control the situation … and cops soon discover Kim was in the wrong terminal all along. At one point cops say to Kim, “Have you had anything to drink today … [the staff] is kind of concerned about your sobriety.” We’re told Kim was eventually escorted out of the airport without further incident. Family sources tell us they’ve been dealing with Kim’s “issues” for a long time.

Wow. To be honest, while watching season 1 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills I never suspected that Kim had a substance abuse problem … I thought she was just painfully socially awkward. As soon as Kyle Richards, Kim‘s sister, brought to light on the season finale episode that Kim has a drinking problem, it just all made sense. This video is just sad to see. Not only was Kim drunk but she was also popping pills in that airport. As I understand it, Kim‘s family forced her into rehab shortly after filming ended on RHOBC but she checked herself out a week later. To my knowledge, she has not returned to rehab for treatment. Next Tuesday’s episode of the RHOBC reunion special is bound to shed some light on Kim‘s problems … but, IMHO, this video speaks volumes of what is really going on with her … and it’s really, really sad ;(

50 Cent Gives Good Pedicures (Lol)

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 08:56 AM PST

50 Cent, née Curtis James Jackson, III, updated his official Twitter profile this week with a couple of fairly surprising photos. In the photos, 50 is seen rubbing his grandfather’s feet as he gave the man a pedicure. Of all the things in the world I could imagine 50 Cent doing, giving pedicures is NOT among them. Still, the fact that he did this for his grandfather seems very sweet and totally surprising.

This me doin my grandaddy feet. Lol / He doesn’t like no one else touchin his feet. So he makes me do them. Lol / He worked till he hurt his back to take care of us, so now I gotta take care of him. / My grandfather said, these feet got a lot of miles on them. Lol

Despite the hard nature that 50 Cent shows the world, it’s nice to see that he is very willing to do something so loving for his grandfather … and then share it with the world. Trust me, there are a great many things that 50 says and does that I am not cool with at all … but deference to one’s elders like this is pretty endearing.

Hugh Jackman Really, REALLY Loves The Snow

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 08:17 AM PST

Yesterday we saw a couple of really cute photos of actor Hugh Jackman reveling in the snow as it fell all around him in NYC just hours before a massive snow storm hit the city. Today we get to see new photos of Hugh enjoying the snow after new feet of snow fell the night before. As you can tell from the following photos, Hugh was having himself a grand ol’ time.


You’d expect Hugh‘s children to be having all the fun but not so … Hugh himself is the one having the best time ever! Man, doesn’t he look like a lot of fun to play with? Yesterday’s outing in the snow wasn’t merely just for fun, tho, as the littlest member of the Jackman family tagged along to take care of some biz of his own:


And superdaddy Hugh was there to make sure that Mochi Jackman was taken care of. You will note that Mochi is outfitted with a sweater and cute little boots to protect him from the cold … but I imagine getting carried around close to Hugh‘s body would be enough to keep me warm. While others are lamenting all the snow that keeps falling in the Northeast, it seems clear to me that Hugh Jackman is not among them. I bet Hugh is really looking foward to the next snowstorm to hit.

Many Details From Charlie Sheen’s Drug-Fueled Porno Party Come To Light

Posted: 28 Jan 2011 07:39 AM PST

Yesterday we learned that actor Charlie Sheen was rushed to the emergency room early Thursday morning after he reportedly spent the night before on an alcohol and drug-fueled bender with a group of porn stars. Today we are hearing a LOT of details from that little party from some of the attendees themselves who are speaking out in an effort to enlighten us all as to what exactly went down at Charlie Sheen‘s house before he was rushed to the hospital. Apparently, the events got started early Wednesday and continued non-stop leading up to the point where 911 was called to transport Sheen to the emergency room. Read on if you’re interested in learning how Charlie Sheen likes to spend his Hump Days.

The photo below was posted to Twitter by porn star Kacey Jordan who snapped the photo while she partied with Charlie Sheen on Wednesday (click the image to see the uncensored, NSFW version). According to people (i.e. porn stars) who were with Sheen during his binge, he enjoyed a long day/night of excess before he was rushed to the hospital yesterday morning:

Sources connected to Charlie tell us … during the infancy stages of Sheen’s most recent bender Tuesday night, the actor brought his realtor and some of his XXX lady friends to dinner with his neighbor George Santo Pietro — Vanna White’s ex-husband. We’re told the meal was served in the wine cellar at George’s home — located just two miles from Sheen’s place — and Charlie drank … A LOT. During the boozefest, Charlie agreed to rent out George’s giant estate for four months — at the rate of $250k per month — while George goes away on an upcoming trip to Thailand. And why does Sheen need an extra mansion? Charlie explained that he wants to start a “porn family” — and he wants the “actresses” to all live in the same house.

In the wake of Sheen‘s hospitalization, his people learned of this plan to build a “porn family” and but the kibosh on his colorful plans. Let’s move on … after Sheen‘s spirited dinner, the festivities moved to his place … where the boozin’ and drug use reportedly got underway with fervor:

Charlie Sheen was smoking cocaine while he critiqued porn on his TV set for hours before the 911 call … TMZ has learned. Sources who were present at Charlie’s house during his 36-hour party tell us … after a man delivered a briefcase full of cocaine to the house early Wednesday morning, Charlie pulled out a small green pipe and started smoking cocaine continuously … for hours. There are many wild details, but we’re told eventually Charlie ended up in his theater room with one of the porn stars with whom he was partying. They watched 3 hours of porn, as Charlie critiqued the action on the screen. We’re told Charlie, who fancies himself as a porn connoisseur, was questioning his companion about angles and body shots. We’re told the porn star was “surprised” by the depth of Charlie’s knowledge.

I understand that in an effort to keep the hospitalization part quiet, Sheen called Adrienne Maloof‘s husband (a plastic surgeon) for medical help at first … but the Maloofs realized that emergency technicians were in a better position to offer assistance:

Before Charlie Sheen was rushed to the hospital Thursday morning with stomach pains, the phone rang at the home of his neighbors, Dr. Paul Nassif and wife Adrienne Maloof-Nassif. “We did receive a call from Charlie’s house this morning, asking for medical assistance and advice,” the couple tell PEOPLE in a statement, “and immediately insisted the caller dial 911. Dr. Nassif also immediately called 911″ … “As longtime friends, we are obviously very concerned about his well-being,” say Nassif and Maloof-Nassif, who appear on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family right now and we wish him a speedy recovery.”

You’ll be happy to know that Charlie has already been released from the hospital. Apparently, his “stomach pains” were not substance abuse-related and he is well enough to be released. You may be dismayed to learn that Sheen is not at all concerned by any of this, that he plans to return to work filming his CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men and that he has no plans to enter rehab.

Here is a video interview with Sheen‘s party pal Kacey Jordan, conducted by TMZ, where she chronicles the events of his Wednesday night/Thursday morning in detail:


And we thought Lindsay Lohan had a problem. Yikes.
