Brett Ratner Lied About Having Sex With Olivia Munn, Made Homophobic Comments, Continues To Be Awful

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 11:24 AM PST

Last week, we brought you a delightful tale of Brett Ratner‘s supposed shrimp-fat-soaked love affair with Olivia Munn, in which the auteur director admits he, “banged her a couple times.” Well, it turns out Brett was actually lying or just joking or trying to stir up more publicity for his movie Tower Heist — he went on Howard Stern this morning and retracted what he said about sleeping with Olivia. A link to the interview was retweeted by Olivia, so I’ll take that as a tacit endorsement.

Delightful, a really classy move. In other super terrific Brett Ratner news, the director made a shitty, homophobic remark at a Tower Heist Q&A in Los Angeles. Asked about his rehearsal strategy, Brett apparently brushed off the question and said, “Rehearsing is for fags.”

Excuse me? Are you serious? Not that I would have, in a million years, paid to go see the Ben Stiller/Eddie Murphy robbery flick Tower Heist (which, by the way, is probably going to flop) but can we officially boycott the flick on principle? Brett Ratner continues to prove himself an irredeemable scumbag who gives Hollywood a bad name.

Video: Streaker Interrupts Hayden Pannitierre At The MTV EMAs [NSFW]

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 11:17 AM PST

This year’s MTV EMAs (short for European Music Awards) were fairly predictable: Katy Perry dressed up in 1950s cosplay, Justin Bieber looked even more like an adorable baby lesbian than usual, and Lady Gaga won everything, because Europeans love shitty disco music. I guess it was with this in mind that they decided to inject some “spontaneity” into the proceedings with a surprise appearance by a completely nude man while Hayden Panettiere was in the middle of presenting the award for Best Song.

Although Panettiere did a decent job feigning surprise, we know this moment was scripted because the guy was not immediately dragged off by security. The banter between them also seemed somewhat canned, and he was a goodly amount more attractive than your average male streaker. Nevertheless, I’m not going to complain about getting to see a glimpse of penis before having to see Gaga’s overexposed face once again, and if I were Hayden Panettiere, I would certainly follow through on that offer to “have a pint” with him. It’s pretty amazing what you can show on European TV that you can’t show here.

Avril Lavigne Gets Into A Bar Fight, Says It Wasn’t Her Fault

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 10:33 AM PST

The princess of misleadingly packaged pop lived up to her spunky image early yesterday morning when she got sucked into a bar fight along with boyfriend Brody Jenner (half-brother to Kim Kardashian). According to People, the fight started outside Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel around 1am Sunday morning when some as of yet unnamed attacker (attackers, if Avril’s twitter is to be believed) went after her for unknown reasons. Perhaps they were disgruntled fans who felt her latest album, Goodbye Lullaby, represented a dip in quality from 2007′s The Best Damn Thing?

When Brody tried to intervene, he was allegedly struck in the face with a bottle, and had to go to the hospital to get patched up. The cops are still investigating the incident and have yet to report any leads or even confirm that the attack occurred. However, this being 2011, Avril and Brody did what any half pop star/half reality star couple would do, i.e. they took to twitter immediately.

Here’s what Brody had to say about the incident:

And here’s what Avril had to say, which was so long and profound it had to be split up into two whole separate tweets:

Those flesh mutilating accessories are just for decoration, okay? She would never actually use them to defend herself, because that would be fighting, and she doesn’t believe in that.

All jokes aside, her injuries sound nasty and I hope she recovers from them soon. Those misleadingly packaged pop albums aren’t going to record themselves.

Video: Snooki Made A Fake Funny Or Die Ad For Her Real Perfume

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 10:44 AM PST

Snooki just launched her very first fragrance, called “Snooki by Nicole Polizzi.” The perfume, described as “bubbly, flirty and sweet,” has notes of kiwi and sugar. For those times you wish to smell like a smoothie!

Although her product is very much a real thing, this promotional video she made for Funny or Die is a total spoof of the fragrance ad tropes. I think by this point it’s clear that Snooki actually has really good comic timing — it seems that’s at the core of why she’s become so successful. Yes, she’s an utterly ridiculous sparkly meatball, but she knows that and she plays it up. She does a really good job with this video — however, I don’t think I’ll be buying her sugary perfume anytime soon.

Tyler Perry Keeping Kim Kardashian In His Movie The Marriage Counselor Will Probably Profit Both Of Them

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 09:53 AM PST

Filmmaker Tyler Perry‘s thing these days seems to be wedding movies: After the successes of Why Did I Get Married? and Why Did I Get Married Too?, he’s launching a TV series called For Better or Worse and another movie, The Marriage Counselor. But his decision to keep Kim Kardashian in the movie even after her divorce from Kris Humphries could hurt his credibility.

Kim’s involvement in the project wasn’t even announced until a week before she filed for divorce from Kris: The plan was for her to play Ava, the best friend of the movie’s titular counselor Judith (Jurnee Smollett). After Judith decides she’s tired of giving good (but boring) advice, she messes up her own marriage by sleeping with one of her suave clients. Either before, during, or after this courtship, Ava gives Judith “a big-city makeover.”

Shooting was supposed to begin in Atlanta on October 26, but there’s been no word if Kim’s shown up. In the meantime, Tyler’s fans have flocked to his personal site begging him to cut this Kardashian loose. Says commenter Camille, a long-time supporter of Tyler’s movies,

Please do not give into the hype of this superficial person. She’s been divorced (now twice) at only 31 yrs. old and she is only famous because of a sex tape! Finally, she is an extremely poor role model for young AFRICAN AMERICAN girls. As you are aware, a young daughter of a very prominent A-list black actor wanted to become a p*** star because of Kim Kardashian’s sex tape.

Tyler hasn’t given much of a response other than to confirm to TMZ that Kim will show up for shooting as scheduled. But at least one of his fans has written back against the protesters, shaming them for wanting to boycott a movie that gives jobs to African-Americans.

Sure, the point of actors is to be someone they’re not. And even actresses who play amazing humanitarians aren’t always as saintly as their characters — except maybe Meryl Streep, because she’s awesome — so it’s not as if we should heap the expectation on Kim to be a shining example for marriage. Anyway, it doesn’t even sound like her character is married!

One reason we think Kim lobbied to stay in this movie is because if Ava is giving Judith some much-needed confidence, it might be that she also brings Judith and her estranged husband back together. Imagine the good press if Kim Kardashian is seen as a do-gooder, even if only on the movie screen!

Why Tyler is keeping her is less clear, unless he figures he can bank on higher ticket sales at the box office once people want to see a) if Kim can act (seeing as her last big project was Disaster Movie) and b) if she’ll further insult the institution she’s already made a mockery of.

Questionable Choices: Jared Leto And 30 Seconds To Mars Dress For The Apocalypse

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 09:13 AM PST



Jared Leto and his 30 Seconds to Mars bandmates sure did wear some clothes to the MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast, Ireland yesterday. At the very least, you can say that these guys wore clothes — all of them at once, even.

Jared has been been wearing skirts over pants for a few months now, and his brother Shannon seems to have followed suit (skirt suit, JC Penny). These kids look like the cast of a futuristic post-apocalyptic B movie made for $500,000. Their look is a student film remake of Blade Runner meets a photocopy of a David Bowie picture.

Am I being to harsh on the boys? Wearing a skirt is totally subversive, so I should probably be handing them awards for their avant-garde fashion.

Kim Kardashian Pretends To Try To Fix Her Fake Marriage

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 08:45 AM PST

Perhaps in an effort to draw out the attention her marriage and subsequent divorce are bringing her, Kim Kardashian is reportedly now considering sticking with husband Kris Humphries after all.

According to TMZ, Kim flew to Minnesota over the weekend to visit Kris. The TV couple also met with their pastor yesterday to try to see if they could work it out; according to “sources,” the possibility of a reconciliation is still “up in the air,” and they realize there’s still a lot wrong with their relationship, but that Kim is “willing to keep talking.”

This is all well and good, but I can’t help wondering if she brought a camera crew along. Kim seems intent on milking her relationship problems for all they’re worth, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the first of many back-and-forths. Will she stay with her vaguely neanderthalic husband and have lots of heavy-browed babies with him? Or will she move back to LA, have her anus bleached, and put out another sex tape? I am on the edge of my seat.

I think the latest episode of SNL said it best:

Crushable Quotable: Mariah Yeater Says Justin Bieber Went From ‘Cute And Gushy’ To ‘Aggressive’

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 08:43 AM PST

Be still our hearts: Mariah Yeater has granted (or been granted?) her first live interview since she accused Justin Bieber of fathering her three-month-old child. She’s speaking with Entertainment Tonight spin-off The Insider, in an interview that will air tonight. But in this preview, she makes some detailed claims about what Justin was like when they allegedly did the deed.

Is it me, or does everyone look really uncomfortable in this clip? The reporter’s “serious journalism” face looks more like “get me away from this psycho,” and Mariah starts crying at one point. You know there are millions of girls who would kill for the chance at a bathroom hook-up with Justin. Not that we’re saying this is true; odds are she’s crazy and looking to pin her baby on a pop star. But really, tears?

Mariah describes how she first met Justin in a larger group, but then he asked if she wanted to go someplace a little more private. (And with fluorescent lighting, apparently.)

“He immediately took a liking to me. We just got to talking… then he eventually asked me, ‘Would you mind if we could go somewhere and be alone.’ Then when we got to what turned out to be a bathroom, his whole demeanor changed. It went from cute and gushy to more aggressive.”

And our hearts just broke a little. Please, Mariah, we don’t need a play-by-play!

When the interviewer asks what “proof” she has to offer Bieber’s people — after he’s said he’ll take a paternity test and then sue her — she gets all teary and says, “I’m sorry, no comment.” Props to him for pushing her and saying that Justin’s security guard claims that all Justin did after that concert was go into his dressing room and straight to the car. Mariah really doesn’t have a case here, but if you want to watch more lies get spun, tune in to The Insider at 7 p.m. EST tonight.
