East Coast Quake Closes Down Airports, National Parks & Causes Water Damage To The Pentagon

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 12:45 PM PDT

This is insane!!! We just hope this is the worst of it. Fingers-crossed for no aftershocks!

We've got a few more details to share about the earthquake that just shook most of the East Coast. Washington D.C. and Virginia, where it originated, got the worst of it and at present, all national monuments and parks have been evacuated and closed, though officials say that they are "stable"

The most damage reported was to the center tower of the National Cathedral, the highest point of the city. Three pinnacles have broken off, but there have been no reports of injury. The Pentagon also suffered some damage with a "considerable amount" of water flooding two corridors after a pipe burst.

As for cities farther north, several Manhattan skyscrapers have been evacuated and cell phone service has been disrupted all over New York City. Most of the major airports have canceled their flights for today and closed down completely.

This must've been so terrifying for them! Please everyone stay safe!

Jada Pinkett-Smith's Rep Speaks Out On The Split! Confuses Public!

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 12:30 PM PDT

Amidst all the separation rumors, a rep from one of the Smith camps has finally said something, but it's not exactly the answer we were looking for...

Karynne Tencer states:

Everything about the Marc Anthony story is completely false, but we are not commenting on whether they are separating or not.

There had been rumors of Jada cheating on will with Marc, and while she addresses those, why doesn't she comment on the separation?

How odd!

ASkars May Star In Another Thriller Flick

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 12:20 PM PDT

Alright, but make sure his contract states he has to keep his shirt off for 2/3's of the movie. That's the only reason we're going to see Straw Dogs. (See example!)

Alexander Skarsgard is reportedly in talks to join the thriller The East. Written and co-starring Brit Marling, the movies about a female agent who attempts to infiltrate an eco-terrorist group called The East. If the deal pans out, ASkars would be playing the biggest and baddest of the group, their leader show seeks revenge against unethical corporations.

Such a serious role. Sounds like something he could really ... sink his teeth into! HA!

Fingers crossed he gets it - and that he's half-nekkid in it!

Letterman Responds To Death Threats With LOLz!

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 11:40 AM PDT

We knew this was coming, and boy, was it worth the wait!

David Letterman resumed production of his late night talk show yesterday after a two week scheduled hiatus, during which an extremist posted death threats on an internet message board used by Al Qaeda against him, and as we expected, a majority of not only his monologue, but also his "top ten," were in reference to the debacle!

Here are some HIGHlights:

"Thank you very much for being here tonight. We have great audiences night in and night out, but tonight especially, it means a lot to me. Tonight, you people are more, to me, honestly, more than an audience … you're more like a human shield. I'm so sorry, I'm a little late coming out. Backstage, I was talking to the guy from CBS. We were going through the CBS life insurance policy to see if I was covered for jihad. You're not going to believe what happened. A guy, a radical extremist, threatened to cut my tongue out. I wish I had a nickel for every time a guy has threatened … I think the first time was during the Academy Awards. I have a fatwa on me. And they say the guy that issued the fatwa is an Internet jihadist. Internet jihadist, and I said, 'Well, heck, who says Obama isn't creating jobs?' And so now, State Department authorities are looking into this. They're not taking this lightly. They're looking into it. They're questioning, they're interrogating, there's an electronic trail — but everybody knows it's Leno."

"Top 10 things that went through my mind after heard about the threat:"

Number 8: "Why is the staff in such a good mood?"

Number 4: "How can someone be so angry at a time when Kim Kardashian is so happy?"

Number 3: "Some people get Emmy nominations; some people get death threats."

HA!

Amazing!

We're thrilled to see that as serious as these threats could be - despite the man in question confusing Letterman as Jewish - that he's not letting them affect the quality of his show, and laughing at the sheer silliness of it all!

Stay safe!

Will Smith's Son Says Jada & His Dad Are NOT Separating!

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 11:30 AM PDT

Don't know why they are having him do their dirty work - unless he's in the dark too! Oh no! Let's just hope he's right!

The world is waiting on some official news on the marital status of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and we think we might have finally gotten it. Will Smith's son Trey Smith, from Will's previous relationship with Sheree Zampino, took to his Twitter moments ago to tweet out this message:

"Will and Jada getting a DIVORCE .. NOT TRUE AT ALL !!"

Alright, alright. We hear ya and we sort of believe ya.

But the only thing that is going to put our minds at ease about this whole situation is to hear it directly from Will and Jada themselves.

The time for a press release is NOW!!!

Jimmy Kimmel's Uncle Frank Has Passed Away

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 11:20 AM PDT

Such a loss.

Jimmy Kimmel's Uncle Frank was such a good sport and had an incredible sense of humor and an unlimited source of kindness. He was a NYC cop for a long time, and retired to become a security guard at Jimmy's show.

Jimmy would send Uncle Frank to do hilarious bits, and would team him up with the unlikeliest people, like Guillermo Rodriguez who is another go-to personality on the show.

We are so sad to hear he's passed, and our hearts go our to Jimmy and his family.
