We feel like it's been a long time since we've seen these two together.

Then again, poor Kellan Lutz has been hold up in Vancouver for the last six months filming Breaking Dawn, while she's been working in her famous Cali zipcode for The CW. Work comes first!

Yesterday, Kellan and AnnaLynne McCord were spotted arriving at LAX to catch a flight together. Perhaps, they've slated in a little romantic vacay for themselves. Some time to reconnect and catch up! Wouldn't that be nice for them!

Have fun you two!

What?! Matthew Morrison Wants To Leave Glee?!

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 12:30 PM PDT

No way! Not even! We're calling BS on this - and if Matthew Morrison proves us wrong, we're going to be devastated!

Sources are claiming that Matthew is using his upcoming debut album as "a launching pad to leave Glee." He supposedly is "desperate" to break free from the show and is hoping his new friendships with Gwyneth Paltrow and Elton John will help him launch his career beyond the confines of McKinley High.

But, but, but…WHY???

The show catapulted him into everyone's radar - just like Lea, Cory and Dianna - and gave him the freedom to make this album while still doing the show. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to us! Why wouldn't he have any loyalty towards Ryan Murphy and Co. for that?!

BS! Completely BS!

Right, Matt???

16 And Pregnant Mom Says Babydaddy Punched Himself!

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 12:20 PM PDT

16-and-pregnant-star-says-baby-daddy-punched-himself.jpg

Seriously?

This couple is unbelievable.

Earlier we reported that one of the new moms on MTV's 16 and Pregnant allegedly punched the father of her twins after the two got in a heated argument.

But NOW, teen mom, Jennifer Del Rio, claims that Josh Smith punched HIMSELF in a ploy to get her arrested.

She says that when they were driving hom, Josh took one of their twins out of the car seat and asked if he could take the baby home for the night.

When the baby started to cry, Jennifer yelled, "Give me back my kid. You're hurting him."

The struggle continued after the two arrived at his house. Josh allegedly went inside and later returned with a bloody nose and a ripped shirt, in what she claims he did to himself so that she would go to jail as "payback."

WTF?!?!

Jennifer says that he lied to the police, telling them that she attacked him.

Neither party was arrested, however Jennifer plans on pressing charges for child endangerment and hopes to get a restraining order for her and her kids ASAP.

This is the most disturbing couple we have seen from the 16 and Pregnant series. We are really concerned with the kind of people are being cast for the show! When does it go from entertainment to exploitation??

Let's hope they get the help they most definitely need. The last thing we want to see is their drama continued on Teen Mom!

Tyler Clementi's Parents Move Forward With Lawsuit Against Roommate

tyler clementi parents move forward with lawsuit against roommate

Back in September, we were truly saddened to hear about the suicide of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi, who killed himself after roommates secretly filmed him having sex with another man and broadcast it over the internet.

Tyler's parents have moved forward with a lawsuit on their deceased son's behalf, and the Middlesex County, NJ Prosecutor's Office announced today that a 15-count indictment was filed against Tyler's former roommate Dharun Ravi.

Ravi could face up to five years in prison for his charges.

As far as the other responsible classmate Molly Wei is concerned, she's been charged with invasion of privacy, but her case hasn't been presented to a grand jury YET.

Here's what Tyler's parents had to say about the current status of their case:

"The grand jury indictment spells out cold and calculated acts against our son Tyler by his former college roommate. We are eager to have the process move forward for justice in this case and to reinforce the standards of acceptable conduct in our society."

We couldn't agree more! We truly hope that justice is served.

Our hearts continue to go out to Tyler's family, friends, and loved ones. Such an awful, unnecessary tragedy.

Zefron Out On The Town!

Ah! So fresh and so clean! We're super-duper happy you shaved, Zefron! Keep it up!

Last night, Zac Efron was spotted with an unidentified female (???) leaving the El Rey Theater in Hollywood and getting into a car. The lady friend snuck into the backseat to hide her face, but from what we can see, she might just be suffering from a case of wasted. Same goes for the dude in the hat!

Oh well! It happens, right? Everyone pAArties a little too hard sometimes!

Tyler Perry Responds Heavily To Spike Lee Criticism

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:40 AM PDT

Perry Words Against Lee

These are some intense words, people. Not only that, but it's a pretty heated subject in general, but we're glad it's at least being talked about.

Spike Lee has very little to no respect for Tyler Perry's movies. While they're usually not flops in terms of money made, they aren't always the most critically acclaimed.

And there really isn't anything too wrong with that. There have been times where we've absolutely loved a move despite reviews.

Spike Lee, however, thinks that Tyler Perry's movies are setting back the black community, and aren't really helping anyone by being made:

"Each artist should be allowed to pursue their artistic endeavors, but I still think there is a lot of stuff out today that is coonery and buffoonery," he said in '09. "I know it's making a lot of money and breaking records, but we can do better. … I am a huge basketball fan, and when I watch the games on TNT, I see these two ads for these two shows (Tyler Perry's 'Meet the Browns' and 'House of Payne'), and I am scratching my head. We got a black president, and we going back to Mantan Moreland and Sleep 'n' Eat?"

That, folks, is not holding back.

Perry has responded a few times, mainly with toned down defenses of his work on his website, without getting very specific as to what they're directed to.

That's not the case when Perry recently got very specific, and very open during a press conference for his new Medea movie:

"I'm so sick of hearing about damn Spike Lee. Spike can go straight to hell! You can print that. I am sick of him talking about me, I am sick of him saying, 'this is a coon, this is a buffoon.' I am sick of him talking about black people going to see movies. This is what he said: 'you vote by what you see,' as if black people don't know what they want to see.

"Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois went through the exact same thing; Langston Hughes said that Zora Neale Hurston, the woman who wrote 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' was a new version of the 'darkie' because she spoke in a southern dialect and a Southern tone," Perry offered. "And I'm sick of it from us; we don't have to worry about anybody else trying to destroy us and take shots because we do it to ourselves."

While we do see your point, Tyler, about how the community shouldn't be attacking itself, but we're not sure the Medea movies should be compared to literary classics like Their Eyes Were Watching God. You're absolutely right to describe your work as both spiritually uplifting and fun, which to us is a very different ballpark from Zora Neale Hurston's beautifully written tragedy.

That doesn't make your movies any less enjoyable and popular, Tyler! We're glad that you stand by what you do. You bring entertainment to millions of people!

We don't think Perry and Lee will ever see eye to eye, sadly, but they could agree to keep the personal attacks down to a minimum, that's for sure!

How does all this make U guys feel? Do U agree with one more than the other??

Foo Fighters Are Finally #1 In America!

Hard to believe it's taken them this long, but that doesn't make the victory any less sweet.

The Foo Fighters have the No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as their new disc, Wasting Light sold 235,000 units. This marks the first time the band's landed on top of the charts and the album ranks at the band's second-largest sales week (In Your Honor in 2005 sold 311,000 in its first week, but didn't make it to #1)

Congrats, fellas! Enjoy the moment!

Yet ANOTHER Fast & The Furious Sequel In The Works…

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:20 AM PDT

Last month, when we first saw the trailer for Fast Five (above), we hoped it was going to be like Ocean's 13, in that it was bringing everyone back together for one LAST hurrah.

We were naive to think that, because Universal has ALREADY announced a sixth Fast and the Furious film.

Screenwriter Chris Morgan, who wrote the previous three Fast films flicks has been hired for the new entry in the never-ending franchise.

Should be inneresting to see if they can come up with a title as incredibly creative as Fast Five for the next entry in the series. We'll be seriously disappointed no matter what if they call it Fast Six!

How about they call it The Furious? Fast & The Furious Times at Ridgemont High? Or maybe 6 Fast 6 Furious, as a callback to the 2nd movie? LOLz.

All jokes aside, we wish they'd put this franchise down already. It's enough!

Will U watch Fast Five 2: Fast Harder when it's released?

Finally! Adam Shankman has got his gal!

After losing both Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams to superhero flicks, the team behind Rock of Ages has finally got a leading lady for their musical-to-film adaptation.

Catherine Zeta Jones is confirmed to be starring in the movie, alongside Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige, Paul Giamatti and Julianne Hough.

The last time she did a musical, CZJ got herself an Oscar! How's about she goes two-for-two!

Congrats, Cat! We're looking forward to hearing you sing again! Hopefully, the news puts you in good spirits!

The Kanye West Foundation Mysteriously Closes

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 11:00 AM PDT

kanye-west-charity-closes.jpg

Weird.

After four years of helping students stay in school, the Kanye West Foundation has closed its doors.

Founded on his mother's vision, the charity focused on reducing high school dropout rates by sending grants to students in need.

However, the foundation's now former executive director, Joseph Collins, sent an email to his colleagues, telling them he was looking for a job.

He wrote:

"I am reaching out to let you know that the Kanye West Foundation (kanyewestfoundation.org) has officially closed it doors after a successful 4+ years of programming and event. It has been an incredible experience working with Kanye and the board to realize his mother's vision and I am honored to have been given the opportunity to lead the Foundation."

When asked why the foundation closed and why its number was disconnected, Collins said, "You'd have to get in touch with Mr. West."

According to tax papers, the charity received all its money from Kanye's associates who donated to the cause. They raised an average of $492,000. However in 2009, donations had dropped drastically.

That's really too bad. The foundation seemed like a great way to reach out to students who were struggling. We're sad to see the charity go.
