Julia Roberts tells off paparazzo

Check out this video of Julia Roberts tailing and pulling over a paparazzo after he tried to take pictures of her children!

The actress later told Access Hollywood that she disapproved of the photographer staking out a school to get pictures.

"If you want to take a picture of a person, then go to an adult place. Go to the coffee shop, go to the grocery store, go to the restaurant. Don't stake out someone's children's church, school or playground environment," she said about the incident.

Earlier this month George Clooney similarly confronted photographers for their dangerous driving.

Broadway is Back and Running!

LET'S CELEBRATE! The Broadway strike that kept many shows on a hiatus is officially over. The stagehand strike lasted for about three weeks and shows will resume on the 29th of November.

The strike couldn't have happened at a worse time for Broadway. Such popular shows as "Wicked," "Jersey Boys," "Mamma Mia!" and "The Lion King" were shut during the lucrative Thanksgiving holiday week. It's normally one of the best times of the year for Broadway when the city is filled with tourists and Christmas shoppers.

The settlement came Wednesday night, the third day of marathon sessions between Local 1 and the League of American Theatres and Producers to end the lengthy work stoppage that has cost producers and the city millions of dollars.

Without providing details, League Executive Director Charlotte St. Martin called the deal "a good compromise that serves our industry."

"What is most important is that Broadway's lights will once again shine brightly, with a diversity of productions that will delight all theatergoers during this holiday time," Martin said in a statement. "We look forward to celebrating the season and welcoming our talented stagehands, and the theatergoing public, back to Broadway."

Christina's Baby was Unexpected

During an interview with Marie Claire magazine singer Christina Aguilera states that the baby conception came as shocker for herself and husband Jordan Bratman. Christina says she was just starting her Back to Basics tour and the couple were planning on trying to start a family once the tour reached its' conclusion. The singer even went on to explain (not in graphic detail) how the baby was conceived. She believes that she became pregnant when her hubby came to visit her in Georgetown, during on of her breaks during the tour. She was a bit worried for her health throughout the rest of the tour, and she did not want to make fans uncomfortable, by making them worry. Christina states:
"I didn't want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, 'Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be okay?' But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back."

As if her die-hard fans hadn't already figured thing out by that point!

Pageant Drama for the new Miss Puerto Rico

It seems that someone may have been trying to sabotage the winner of the Miss Puerto Rico competition. Police have stated that this year's winner Ingrid Marie Rivera is the possible victim of pageant sabotage. According to the report Miss. Rivera's clothing and make-up were coated with pepper spray. The pageant winner broke into a rash and had to ice down between rounds. An official investigation is taking place at this time to attempt to discover the culprit. Miss Rivera will represent Puerto Rico at the 2008 Miss Universe competition. This almost reminds me of a scene straight out of the movie "Drop Dead Gorgeous"!

Hawthorne Heights Guitarist dies aboard band's tour bus

Casey Calvert was a guitarist for the band Hawthorne Heights. The band is currently on tour at the time and Calvert passed away on the bands bus. The cause of death is unknown at this time, but it is stated that Calvert suffered from asthma. Other members of the band have posted this statement on their website: Today is probably the worst day ever. Its with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before sound-check. We've spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we're not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know.

Britney ready to Adopt!?!?!

According to Britain's News of the World, the pop train wreck is set to adopt Chinese twins. Apparently she is going around telling anyone who will listen that she "is in the final stages of setting everything up with an adoption agency". This is just baffling, she can not even seem to take care of her biological children, she should definitely not be allowed to care for adopted children. This is just utter craziness,ya 'all! Save the adopting for Angelina or definitely someone more fit.

This is fantastic!

Thanks, to Perez Hilton for posting this video of what Britney Spear's video for "Gimme,More" should have looked like...mad props!

"Californication" is all mine, damnit!

Rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers are in the process of suing Showtime networks over their television series "Californication" stating that it is a violation of trademark law due to the band being "commercially recognized" for the word, which they are refering to as a slogan. In 1999, the Chili Peppers recorded an album with the same name which was a huge success. They are asking that Showtime stop using the name and surrender any profits gained as a result. Why do I see this turning ugly? Let's hope the Peppers do not get too fired up although it may already be too late.

Britney and Miley???

InTouch reports that Billy Ray Cyrus has invited Brit to spend Thanksgiving dinner with the Cyrus family this year. Apparently, Miley is big fan of Brit and would love to " reach out" to the trouble pop wreck. Britney has accepted the dinner offer and confirmed that she would attend and spend Thanksgiving with the Cyrus family. Although, these days darling Britney does not have the best attendance record, so I am going to sit back and have my doubts that this dinner party will ever come to be! Who knows, stranger things have happened, now pass the mashed potatoes, ya'all!

Kayne breaks down during Paris concert

Kayne West breaks down in tears during his song "Hey Mama" during a Paris concert. Kayne was not able to make through the intro to the song, he stopped and held his hands over his face until group members are seen lending him some comfort. I do not even know how he is attempting to perform after his tragic loss, but some people deal with grief in different ways. I am sure his mom would be proud. Kayne left the stage for about 10 min and then with audience support performed his song "Stronger", Kayne will return the states to attend his mothers funeral in Oklahoma on Tuesday.

Lindsay serves 84 min. in jail

Lindsey Lohan reportedly checked into Lynwood jail on Thursday to serve time related to her two DUI cases. As part of her plea deal, Lohan was sentenced to a minimum of 24 hours behind bars - but the star was in and out in 84 minutes.

According to jail policy, as a non-violent offender, Lohan was released early because of overcrowding. She turned herself in at 10:30 a.m. and left at 11:54 a.m.

"Ms. Lohan was cooperative," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. "She was fingerprinted, photographed and put in a holding cell, but was let go due to our early release policy."

Lohan was originally sentenced in August to 4 days in jail, but prosecuters allowed her to substitute 10 days of community service for 2 days behind bars. She was also awarded one day of credit for the time she spent in jail following her July arrest.

The 21-year-old began her community service on Monday, volunteering at an American Red Cross in a Los Angeles suburb.

Warrant issued for Heroes Star in Japan!

The police in Japan has issued an arrest warrant for Heroes star Hayden Panettiere stemming from her save the dolphins campaign in the country. It has been claimed that the arrest warrant was issued for obstruction of commerce ( apparently blocking a boat with some surfboards, obstructs local commerce?) Hayden and other local activists were fighting to stop the annual hunting of the animals by local fisherman. Here is the video of Hayden's tearful plea:

When Hayden was questioned about the warrant this was her response: "Potentially jail, but i doubt it."

Bon Jovi to one day run for Governor of NJ!

Jon Bon Jovi is planning to run for Governor of New Jersey. The Bon Jovi frontman has indicated he will one day run for office by keeping his home in Red Bank - an artistic community in New Jersey - even though he and his family have moved to SoHo, New York. A source said: "He is interested in running for governor. That is why he kept the house and performs at fundraisers for Democrats like Al Gore.

The 45-year-old rocker's representative admitted Bon Jovi has discussed becoming a governor, but insists he is too busy with his music career to get involved in politics.Ken Sunshine said: "Jon has been approached many times about running for office."His day job is going too well, and this way he can keep the house in Red Bank."

Bon Jovi isn't the first celebrity to enter politics. Action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger quit Hollywood to become Governor of California, while Ronald Reagan moved from the big screen to the White House when he became US President.

The Dancing with the Stars performer said, “My son Michael is an amazing young man, shown through his courage in facing his issues. As his mother, I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Matt Damon, 37, is featured on the cover of People's annual issue, on newsstands Friday as The Sexiest Man Alive.

He is too modest, Matt Damon is a regulation hottie!

Why, Wino, Why?!

The reviews are in from the first shows that have kicked off singer Amy Winehouse's U.K. tour and they are NOT GOOD AT ALL. Why, Amy?! Her CD, Back to Black, is amazing! But her life is a total mess, check out what one fan said about attending her concert:

“I’ve just come back from the Amy Winehouse concert at the NIA. In short, she was f***** terrible. She was very very drunk, she made various rambling references to her ‘husband’ (even going as far to threaten audience members who booed with him) and worst of all, it looked like she was wearing those ballet pumps again. Many audience members booed, and people were continually walking out. She forgot the words to most of her songs. I really like Amy but this was awful. I’d like to tell you that her voice was her saving grace, but it was horrendous.”

Victoria Beckham's latest BLOG!

We love Victoria Beckham, all 90 lbs. of her!

“Hi everyone,
I’m currently sat in our rehearsal studio and I am about to have another fitting with the Cavalli team for our costumes. The other girls will kill me if I give anything away and I don’t want to ruin any surprises… but they look amazing! Roberto and his team have done us proud.
Rehearsals are going really well, I can’t believe that there are only a few weeks until the first show in Vancouver. It’s really scary but exciting at the same time. David and the boys have been laughing at me because I’ve been wandering around the house listening to my iPod and practising the routines. We are including some parts of the old routines but bringing them up to date a bit.
All of the kids have been down to rehearsals. We have an area where they all hang out… its a Spice creche! My boys are so excited about the tour, they can’t wait and I’m really looking forward to them seeing me up on stage. I just hope I don’t get over emotional when I see them!
Ugly Betty was shown over here in the US on Friday, I had such a laugh filming it. If you’re in the UK then you will be able to see the episode on Channel 4 at 9pm on Friday 23 November.
This week is a really busy one for us because not only are we rehearsing for the tour but we are going to be performing at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Thursday. Friday is BBC Children In Need day in the UK and we will performing from LA. We will be doing two songs, our new single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) and also Stop – which is going to look fantastic. I can’t give too much away but it’s definitely going to be worth watching.
We’ve just had a break for lunch and now we’re going to rehearse with our band… and I’m holding things up to write this blog so I’d better go soon!
Finally, a big thank you to everyone who has been out to buy a copy of our Greatest Hits, we hope you enjoy it
Lots of love

The ALA’s National Faces of Influenza

Hollywood stars like Jennifer Garner and Dean Cain joined together in support of the public awareness campaign launched in NYC's Gotham Hall on Monday. The purpose of the campaign is to encourage people to get the flu shot! That doesn't seem too hard, but Americans do need help to put a “face” on this serious disease and recognize annual immunization as a safe and effective way to protect themselves and their families against influenza.

Visit FacesOfInfluenza.org for more about American Lung Association’s influenza prevention program.

I have so fallen for him, he is lovely. He is so hot and he is really sweet to me. When we hang out it feels right - even though it’s still pretty new.”

Take a look at the video about and how exasperated she looks over the rumors. (Sorry about the lack of English!) Ha! We are spicing things up over at PCM! :)

The WWE against CNN

News network CNN could be in some trouble if WWE or John Cena, decideds to push legal action. While shooting footage for the CNN special Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling, wrestling champ John Cena was asked is he has ever used steroids. Cena responded with "Absolutely not!" and went on for a rather lengthy amount of time to talk about steriods and explain his answer. When CNN aired the special, Cena's response was replaced with "People conceive things because performance enhancing drugs have got the spotlight. It's a hot thing to talk about. I can't tell you that I haven't, but you'll never be able to prove that I have."
The WWE is quite angered by this situation and have posted both the edited and unedite versions of the Cena interview on their website.
Here is WWE's response:
"In a country in which the news media is highly suspect, and the quality of unbiased reporting has been thrown into the trash can, CNN has stooped to new depths. Notwithstanding the fairness, or lack therein, of CNN's recent piece entitled "Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling," perhaps the best example of how CNN misrepresents and unfairly presents their biased, if not illegal, point of view is the comparison of WWE's unedited video above to CNN's edited version. CNN's depiction of John Cena as it relates to steroids is not only professionally and morally wrong, but damaging to his character."
Check out the edited and unedited versions of the video here:
Unedited version

Edited Version

Update: CNN has reviewed the footage and has added the rest of Cena's comments to the interview which will air in all replays of the special

..and the custody battle rages on!

Anne Kiley (Britney’s attorney) and Kevin’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan went before the judge today, with the big issue at hand reportedly being Britney’s failure to follow drug and alcohol testing protocol. According to Kaplan, there have been 14 drug tests Britney has been called to take, and she hasn’t responded for eight of them.

Britney’s attorney argued that the pop star shouldn’t be held to the same set of standards and deserves to be treated differently. Her attorney was argueing that Britney should have more time to respond to random testing.

“With all due respect your honor, you’re not a pop star with a number one album,” Kiley told LA Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon, causing Kaplan to throw up his arms and laugh, according to our courtroom source. (HaHa, we love that!) What a mess!

Daddy Embarasses Vanessa Hudgens

You thought your Dad was embarrassing? Think again! High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens was leaving a Hollywood gym with her dad, Greg, when a pack of photographers relentlessly began snapping pictures of them.

Hudgens, 18, didn’t seem to mind, but big papa was none too thrilled. Outraged and annoyed, he began flinging a water bottle at the shutterbugs, soaking himself in the process. “Daaaaaad!” a mortified Hudgens cried, putting her head down and then pulling out her cell phone to mask her embarrassment.

He's really done it! The 17 year-old son of famous wrestler, Hulk Hogan was arrested Wednesday morning in Tampa and will face felony charges of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. People, let this be a lesson to us all, don't speed!

The Hogans released a statement after Nick's arrest : “Nick and the entire ‘Hogan’ Bollea family are saddened that criminal charges have been filed in regards to the tragic single car accident on August 26, 2007. Nick will meet and answer these charges in the appropriate arena – a court of law. The family’s primary focus and concern still remains for the continued recovery of Nick’s longtime friend John Graziano. The Bolleas will also continue to stand by the Graziano family and help them in any way they can."

"The Office is Closed"

Check out this video from the writers and stars of NBC's "The Office," expressing their frustrations about the three-day long ongoing strike.

Strike disrupts primetime TV

The ongoing Hollywood Writer's Guild strike has halted production on at least eight prime-time shows.

Affected sitcoms include "The Office," "Back to You," "The New Adventures of Old Christine," "Til Death," "Rules of Engagement," "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory."

"Desperate Housewives" is also scheduled to finish filming its latest episode as there are no new scripts in the works.

Late-night comedy and talk shows have already been halted and forced to air re-runs. Stockpiled movie scripts should ensure the strike does not affect the big screen, and some shows have enough scripts to last into the new year.

In its third day, no negotiations have been made between The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, and there are no new plans for the two sides to talk.

Who you callin' a diva?

It is reported that George Clooney and Fabio got into an altercation in a West Hollywood eatery. As the story goes, George and Fabio's dinner parties were seated in close proximity to each other in the restaurant. It just so happens, that a member of Fabio's dinner party was a photographer. As the photographer began taking shots of Fabio, George being a diva assumed that the photo's were being taken of him and he asked the photographer to stop. At this point Fabio went over to the table and confronted George, this is when push came to shove, but the altercation was broken up by waiters before it escalated out of hand. I think I am going to have to side with George on this one, besides, why would you want pictures of Fabio eating in the first place?

When Owen Wilson attempted suicide in late August, his ex-girlfriend Kate Hudson had appeared in the tabloids with photographs of her new beau, Dax Shepard.

Hudson has since broken up with Shepard, and folks close to the actress say its because she thinks there might be a chance to reunite with Wilson. “She’s had time to think about things,” a source close to the actress says. Hmmm.. interesting reports! They were such a cute couple!
