17 YEAR OLD MILEY CYRUS WANTS TO FOCUS ON CAREER

Ahhh, to be 17 again! The time where you can decide on your future! (Unfortunately, many of us make bad decisions!) Is soon-to-graduate-high school 17 year old Miley Cyrus making a mistake by putting off college to expand her acting career? Well, her reviews for The Last Song with boyfriend and Australian underwear model, Liam Hemsworth, were mixed. Yet many reviewers called her “charismatic” or said she had a real “screen presence” so maybe she should try acting while she can still get parts? Also,  she’s 17 and wants to break out of the Disney/Hannah Montana mold.

Plus, it’s not like she doesn’t ever want to go to college at all. Cyrus tells press her grandmother didn’t go back to school until age 62 so Miley could “always go back later.” (Very flimsy logic, but then this is Miley Cyrus we’re talkin’ ’bout). If she did choose college now, Miley would likely pick her sister’s alma mater, Nashville’s Middle Tennessee State University where she says many of her friends are going.

BTW, who are her movie star friends really? Recently she was seen having dinner with Justin Beiber and despite her romance with Hemsworth, there was press asking her if he was her new guy. (Sick! The guy looks 12! I was glad (and surprised) to find out Beiber is actually 16 so that’s only 1 year younger that Cyrus..but still…) Does someone set up these dinners as a publicity stunt or what?

Miley told The View in March: “The music industry isn’t as positive as I would like it to be” so “I just want to work in movies.” Well, maybe it’s worth a shot for her, but is the movie industry really any more “positive” than the music biz? How ’bout noooooo… Don’t put on those rose-colored glasses Miley…

LINDSAY LOHAN DARES TO MISS COURT DATE.

What has to happen for Lindsay Lohan to stop partying? Apparently a lot. She dared to miss her court date in California yesterday. Instead she was in France partying it up as only Lilo can. There are pics out of her wearing the world’s shortest mini skirt and a hat with a chain detail climbing into a yacht in the French Riveria. (ooh la la li lo, oh no!)

The photos were an obvious surprise (and embarrassment) to her lawyer who had been arguing that Lilo, as an actress, just had to attend the Cannes Film Festival. With a microphone shoved into her face to comment about the Lindsay yacht photos, her frazzled-looking lawyer said: “Uh, I wasn’t aware of her partying last night on a yacht.”

Lindsay’s excuse for missing court in California was that she couldn’t fly home because her passport was stolen, (insult added to injury that she said her father arranged for it to be stolen)! (Yes her dad is a PR hog and ridiculous – he and Jon Gosselin are trying to get a talk show. No! I. Will. Never. Watch. It. Ever!) But, Lindsay’s told too many lies to have this one be believed.

Not surprisingly, California Supreme Court Judge Marsha Revel, didn’t buy Lilo’s the dog ate my passport excuse. She issued an arrest for 23 year old Lindsay and a bail set at $100K. Now, someone, who at this writing is being called a mystery person has posted the $100K so that Lindsay has a reprieve until Monday at 8:30am. She’s lucky, not only for someone coughing up the dough, but also that she’ll have a new judge. Judge Revel was firm in her stance about Lindsay missing court: “She was ordered to be here. She’s not here. There is no excuse.”

So, who paid the $100K bail?…..

ANISTON SO SMART TO DO ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST!

So, you’re a 40-something hot, yet refreshingly down to earth, movie and TV star. You’re Jennifer Aniston. (oh, you wish…) You don’t need to cling to a man to buy your Beverly Hills dream house for you or even with you. You work for it and buy it yourself – get it all fixed up just the way you want it. Then you let that fabulous, glossy Architectural Digest publication do a feature story on you and your new home. What in the hell is wrong with that?

Nothing. Unless you’re Brad Pitt.

Especially since he was the one to leave her for the amazingly beautiful, (yet NOT refreshingly down to earth), Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt seems way out of line in his reaction to his ex’s appearance on the AD cover. He’s saying that Jennifer Aniston was “never into architecture” when they were married; it was HIS hobby and she used to tease him about it. It’s bad enough that Pitt is being totally ridiculous and whiny, but he adds insult to injury by having the nerve to be “disgusted” with her “press ploy” to get his “attention.” (Oh someone clearly needs to let go his ego!)

MR. PERFECT AINT SO NO MORE…  (Feel free to write in about my grammar!)

After carefully creating such a classy public image, Mr. Pitt shot himself in the PR foot by badmouthing his ex. Yes, he was in Architectural Digest a few months ago, apparently architecture is a big hobby of his, SO WHAT – he neither owns the hobby nor the magazine! If Jennifer’s appearance in AD affected him so passionately that he’s risking his image by making worse than caveman-like remarks, he should ask himself why… Is he pissed to see Jennifer Aniston doing so damn well without him?… Too Bad. So Sad, Loser!

SANDRA IS MOM TO LOUIS BARDO BULLOCK

The secret’s out and Sandra Bullock chose to reveal it to People Magazine by asking them to interview her. Apparently, Jesse James and Sandra started the adoption process for a baby 4 years ago. The soon to be officially adopted infant, now 3 ½ months old, was born in January in New Orleans. Bullock tells People Magazine (a double issue due out Friday) that family and friends knew about the adoption but Sandra and Jesse hadn’t wanted to reveal the news publicly until after the Oscars were over. (But then of course, James’ multi-mistress scandal hit the fan!)

Bullock makes things totally clear to People when she says in the interview “I have filed for divorce.” Sandra also reveals that she is just about to close the adoption as a single parent. She comments that she is “scared” but what parent isn’t? — Especially when you don’t have a clue the man you love, have been married to for 5 years and set out to adopt a child with for 4 years, has been cheating on you with a string of stripper/tattoo models.

LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL SON!

Looking at the People Magazine cover above, Sandra’s beautiful son seems to look wise beyond his years – like a tiny old soul. His eyes seem to know just how good he has it. Come on, you just know Sandra’s a good, loving mom. Well, she was even given permission by the courts to take care of Jesse James’ 3 kids because their mother, another tattooed stripper type and reportedly a porn star, is serving jail time for tax evasion.

Hopefully, Sandra will be happy. At least her attention will be appreciated. She’s a good actress, but I don’t think she’s pretending to be as joyful as she looks on the People cover above… You just can’t fake that caliber of true mama love!!!

LOHAN DRESSED IN DIOR, BUT NOW POOR

Ignoring the ‘if you don’t have it, don’t spend it’ rule of money, Drama Queen Lindsay Lohan dresses to put princesses to shame! I have to say that outfit she’s wearing above at the recent Paris Fashion Week is sooooo dreamy… But when you owe more than half a million bucks in credit card debt, how can you go to a ritzy event like that and stock up on the latest Christian Dior pieces? You can if you’re the The Lohan, I guess.

Anyway,  the piper is calling for her to pay up.. Actually, the credit card companies are calling. One is reportedly ready to sue if Lindsay doesn’t make a repayment plan with them, while another company has stopped her from charging. (How do you stop a Lindsay from charging? Take away her credit card.)

AS IF HUGE CONSUMER DEBT ISN’T BAD ENOUGH…

Reports keep coming in that Lindsay keeps refusing help for her drug and alcohol addiction despite her family pleading with her… (Dr. Drew just can’t wait to get his mitts on her – professionally and addiction doctor speaking, I mean – get your mind out of the gutter! Ok, mine was there too…)  Anyway, Lohan was seen at the last Coachella Music Festival as being “weak and wasted” while partying it up big time. (BTW: Also at this year’s Coachella: Katy Perry, Anne Hathaway, Paris and Nicky Hilton, plus Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.)

Is Lindsay partying and shopping so hard trying to forget her giant debt or trying to forget Sam or just forget everything? Yeah, a person can’t be ‘all work and no play’ but while Lindsay not so long ago made 10K per club appearance, her rate dropped down to 5K. It seems her spending didn’t drop at all…

NO ‘FOOTLOOSE’ REMAKE FOR CHACE CRAWFORD

The remake of the 1984 film, ‘Footloose’ that made Kevin Bacon a big star doesn’t seem to be able to get off the ground. Chace Crawford accepted the Kevin Bacon lead role of Ren McCormack in May 2009, but recently quit. The reason he quit the production wasn’t made clear, but some say his stint on ‘Gossip Girls’ interfered with the filming. Last October, director Kenny Ortega left the ‘Footloose’ remake project due to “creative differences.”

You’d figure that Crawford must have had a good reason to quit since he reportedly endured months of intense dance training for the role. It was just before it was time to shoot the movie that Chace backed out of the film. ‘Gossip Girls’ time conflict or not, maybe a rehash of an 80s dance movie isn’t meant to be…

I HOPE THEY DON’T REMAKE ‘FLASHDANCE’

Maybe a remake of ‘Footloose’ wouldn’t be soooo bad, but lets not bring back ‘Flashdance’ with Miley Cyrus dancing around with a blowtorch singing “What a Feeling.” Chace Crawford jumpin’ to “Let’s Hear it For the Boy” would be at least tolerable, although perhaps barely at that…

I couldn’t believe that ‘Footloose’ was actually based on a true story. The tiny, real Oklahoma town of Elmore City had a ‘no dancing in the city limits’ law on the records since the 1800s. They say small towns move slowly, but it took until 1980 before people got the law overturned to have their first high school prom!

Zac Efron was offered the Ren McCormack part before Crawford, but turned it down. Paramount may now decide to cast an unknown actor/dancer in the musical film. We’ll have to see if ‘Footloose’ actually ends up being remade, but by the time it does, no one may give a flying dance step…

NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN SUING DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

Launching a 20 million dollar lawsuit against Desperate Housewives creator, Marc Cherry, Nicollette Sheridan, who played Edie Britt on the show, claims the set was a “hostile work environment.” Sheridan alleges Cherry hit her in the face after she was questioning a script and went above him to the ABC execs.

Sheridan says Cherry was “abusive and aggressive” to other Desperate Housewife actors including Teri Hatcher. According to a passage in Sheridan’s lawsuit, Cherry commented to her, after Hatcher also went above him to the ABC execs: “I hope Teri Hatcher gets hit by a car and dies.” (If that’s true, I hope it was before Gale Harold (super gorgeous sweetie deluxe), who played Hatcher’s love interest, Jackson, had a motorcycle accident and almost died!)

THREE PARTS IN SHERIDAN’S LAWSUIT AGAINST CHERRY

Wrongful dismissal, assault and gender violence form the basis of Sheridan’s 20 million dollar lawsuit. Sheridan says the amount is appropriate as she’s “losing millions in future earnings” by not being on Desperate Housewives. The 46 year old Sheridan was fired by Cherry last year. Sheridan claims she was fired after she complained to ABC execs about the script.

EVA LONGORIA PARKER SHOCKED ABOUT SHERIDAN’S ALLEGATIONS

Nicollette Sheridan’s Desperate Housewives co-star, Eva Longoria Parker, is making statements that she’s shocked about the 20 million dollar lawsuit and claims against Marc Cherry.  Eva calls Cherry “funny and sweet” and insists that Sheridan wasn’t even on the set in September of 2008 when the alleged hit in the face was supposed to have occurred.

However, Nikki Finke, a columnist for Deadline Hollywood has a different story. She mainly defends Cherry, but says the incident Sheridan describes did happen. Finke explains that Cherry slapped Sheridan across the face to show her how to react when her character’s husband did the same thing. WTF!!?? What happened to the classic Hollywood fake hit, smack sound effect and quick face turn away?

Modern Family: iProduct Placement

Posted to New York Magazine by video on April 01, 2010

Click to Play | View Details

Last night’s episode was seriously promoting the iPad. This clip puts together a montage of the family trying to fulfill Phil’s birthday wish of owning the hot new gadget. The product placement didn’t really bother me because I could totally see Phil wanting one of these beastly iTouch’s. Plus he blows out his own birthday candles on the pad’s screen! Modern Family is one of the greatest tv shows these days, so to me they can do no wrong.

This is priceless! Who are these kids? What elementry school thought this was a good idea? Why would their parents let them? Do they even know what Scarface is? Who cares because it’s awesome.

How great is this ad? I’m pretty sure Eric is #1 on my VILF list. Anyways I cannot WAIT for June 13. Only 10 weeks and 3 days…

Oh and btw, Anna Paquin, who plays the telepathic Sooki, announced that she is a bisexual. Paquin who is engaged to her on-screen vampire bf, Stephen Moyer, made the announcement in a PSA video promoting the Give a Damn campaign, which features celebrities speaking out for equality. In the video she says, “I’m Anna Paquin. I’m bisexual and I give a damn.”

I don’t give a damn, as long as her and Bill continue to have hot sex on True Blood.
