Nick Cannon Does The Unthinkable: Blurts Out Home Telephone Number On The Radio

Nick Cannon and me at Reality Rocks Expo.

Nick Cannon is admittedly pretty preoccupied with wife Mariah Carey‘s pregnancy because he did the unthinkable last week: Blurt out his home telephone number on the radio!

The host of a program on New York City’s WXRK 92.3 NOW got so excited about the impending birth, he spontaneously spilled the couple’s digits. At first, Cannon didn’t think much of what he had done. He Tweeted: 
“Home phone numbers are just like Twitter anyway. I use this more than I use my home phone. So what’s the big deal?
He added: “Think my wife will be mad at me? Lol … I don’t care. I’m the man!!” After some real contemplation, Cannon finally realized this may be a bigger deal that he had originally thought. He took to Twitter again:
“My wife is going to kill me over this!” He added, “Sometimes I get a little too carried away on the radio” and “Just gave out my home phone # on air and my pregnant wife picked up the line OOPS!”

Right after the major faux pas, of course the couple’s phone got flooded with calls. And before Mariah was too aware of what was going on, she even answered one lucky caller’s attempt to get through to the famous singer.

“Thanks to my amazing wife for being a good sport and allowing me to make good radio. @MariahCarey you are the best!” Nice way to CYA Nick!

How Did Robert Pattinson’s Water For Elephants Do At The Box Office?

Update 5/22: To see the latest Box Office Sales for Water for Elephants, click here.
Robert Pattinson brings in moviegoers by the millions for the Twilight series, but does he have Box Office draw when starring opposite a leading actress not named Kristen Stewart? Well, looks like he can do pretty darn well even without his life partner by his side in a movie.

Pattinson and co-star Reese WitherspoonWater for Elephants premiered this weekend and the $40 million romantic drama, based on Sara Gruen’s novel, has already raked in an estimated $17.5 million – an amount much higher than expected for its genre.

“Adult films usually don’t sprint out of the gate. We did,” Fox executive Bert Livingston told eOnline. “I think being on bestseller list twice helped.”

Before you credit his co-star Witherspoon with the draw, remember, her How Do You Know lost a ton of money in 2010. The film had cost $120 million to make but only grossed less than $50 million worldwide. So, looks like Pattinson may actually have a career once the Twilight movies come to a close…

Here’s how the other movies did at the Box Office Friday-Sunday (April 22- 24, 2011):

Rio, $26.8 million
Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family, $25.8 million
Water for Elephants, $17.5 million
Hop, $12.5 million
Scream 4, $7.2 million
African Cats, $6.4 million
Soul Surfer, $5.6 million

Video: Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy Dish On Their Chemistry

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

Dancing with the Stars partners, Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, have so much chemistry dancing together that people are starting to wonder about their time off of the show…are they or aren’t they?

Well, Good Morning America‘s Robin Roberts posed the duo the question we all want answered: How far does this chemistry between the two carry past the dance floor?

Roberts started her quest for the answer by telling Alley, “There’s something that you seem to bring out in [Maks] that no one else seems to have been able to do.” Alley chuckled, made bunny ears behind Chmerkovskiy’s head and then said, “Maks is really funny.” “Clearly,” Chmerkovskiy added. “He’s actually pretty easy if you tell him you love him all the time.”
Alley then totally admitted that Maks is a bad boy and added, “Hmm. I want to ….you know… you sort of want to conquer a bad boy.”

Roberts finally got to the point dead on and told the pair that a fan named Becky wants to know if there’s chemistry off the dance floor between the two. Alley and Chmerkovskiy chuckled and pranced around the issue for a while and then Alley said, “We always have chemistry.” “Clearly,” Chmerkovskiy added again.

Glee’s Matthew Morrison Hangs Out With Foliage-Clad Models! (Photos)

Matthew Morrison of Glee was at The Grove Friday to introduce the Dasani Plant Model Fashion Show where a septet of Plant Models showed off the hottest fashions made out of … foliage. The fashion show was held in honor of Earth Day and to launch Dasani’s new “plant bottle” packaging.

Dasani’s new eco-packaging, which despite being part plant, is as recyclable as its 100 percent PET counterpart. The outfits on the models were hand-crafted on site by Yotam Solomon, who was named L.A.’s top young designer by Styelist this month. “It’s all about inspiration and it’s a pleasure to create designs made out of greenery for today’s Earth Day celebration,” Solomon says.

Lindsay Lohan Sentenced To 120 Days In Jail – But Not For The Crime You’d Think (PHOTOS)

At a preliminary hearing held Friday April 22Lindsay Lohan caught a break on the pending necklace theft charge against her but had the book thrown at her for violation of her probation stemming from her 2007 DUI.

Judge Stephanie Sautner reduced the theft charge from a felony to a misdemeanor, which although a less serious offense, could still carry a jail term of up to one year. Lindsay will have a chance to go to trial to prove her innocence.

On the probation violation, Lindsay was spanked with a sentence of 120 days in county jail and 480 hours of community service. 360 of those hours must be spent at the Downtown Women’s Center and 120 hours at the L.A. County morgue.

Lohan immediately appealed the ruling and was allowed to post a $75,000 bail to stay free pending appeal.
