Pee-Wee Herman Is Baaaaaack! Watch Him Do The Pee-Wee Dance! EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS/VIDEO

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Parisa Michelle

Paul Reubens was at The Grove today portraying the infamous fictional comic character he created in the 1980’s, Pee-wee Herman.

Decked out in his all-too-familiar red bow tie, white loafers and grey suit, he was still chock full o’ his trademark never-ending comebacks (“I know you are, but what am I?”) and annoying yet somehow contagious and lovable laugh.

The childlike Pee-wee Herman character was developed in the 1980’s as a stage act but quickly led to an HBO special in 1981. The character became so popular that it spawned two motion pictures: Pee-wee’s Big Adventure in 1985, and Big Top Pee-wee in 1988. And then there was Pee-wee’s Playhouse, an Emmy Award winning children’s series that ran on CBS from 1986-1991.

The character’s success came to a screeching halt when Reubens was arrested in 1991 for allegedly masturbating in a porn theater. Reubens eventually plead “no contest” to the charge of indecent exposure just to put the matter behind him, paid a $50.00 fine and was ordered to perform 70 hours of community service. But that public fiasco spelled immediate doom for “Pee-wee,” that is, until recently.

After decades of being shut out in the dark, the iconic character has made a triumphant return to the spotlight through a special HBO presentation which will air Pee-wee’s new stage show, recorded live at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City. You can watch a preview clip of that special below. The HBO special is set to air March 19 at 10 PM.

Pee-wee also told Lopez that his fans will soon be seeing a lot more of him: He’s working on a new Pee-wee feature film with writer-director-producer Judd Apatow (Funny People). He told Lopez: “Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and me – this is our moment!”

Russell Brand On Kissing Katy Perry . . .

Posted on March 8, 2011 by Parisa Michelle

Russell Brand won the honors of CelebMagnet’s Best Celebrity Quote of the Month in February and he seems to be a shoe in for that award again in March. Interestingly enough, both quotes revolve around Brand’s thoughts on his kissing partners.

Brand is currently shooting Arthur, a remake of the 1981 Dudley Moore classic along with co-star, Jennifer Garner. While on set, Brand was interviewed by NextMovie.com about his co-star, Garner and he said: “She’s like a fairy princess. There’s a brand of red-velvet cake, her mouth is made of that. She smashes you in the mouth [in] those kissing scenes. If I was Ben Affleck, man, I’d be pissed off.”

Brand appeared on The View Tuesday where Sherri Shepherd brought up the “red velvet” quote and gave Brand the chance to say something equally nice about kissing his own wife, Katy Perry. Of course Brand did not disappoint. “They are a conduit to paradise, a tunnel to another world. They are redemption, salvation, glory, poetry!” Brand gushed.

WOW! I can honestly say Brand redeemed himself for last month’s quote.

Gwyneth Paltrow Lands Record Deal

Posted on March 8, 2011 by Parisa Michelle

With all her recent musical performances, it was just a matter of time.

Gwyneth Paltrow has signed a $900,000 music deal with Atlantic Records. Paltrow, who got a few people talking about her singing performances in Country Strong and Glee and this year’s Grammy and Academy Awards, will release her first full length album.

Her album is expected to be in the country-pop realm, but Paltrow has also mentioned that she would love to record with Jay-Z.

Atlantic Records may actually be a good match for the actress-turned-singer since Atlantic boasts a diverse talent roster ranging from the Zac Brown Band and Brett Eldredge to Sean Paul, B.o.B, T.I. and Kid Rock.

No word on when her album will be released. Guess we all have to wait with bated breath.

Jennifer Hudson has come a long way since her days on American Idol in 2004. She’s since become a mother, worked herself into a brand new svelte figure and has won a Grammy, Golden Globe and even an Oscar.

I just really wanted to be a part of telling the story.”

Gwen Stefani On Marriage: “It Hasn’t Been The Easiest Journey”

Posted on March 8, 2011 by Parisa Michelle

When you think Gwen Stefani, what may come to mind is her two decades of success in the music industry, her sales of 40 million+ albums worldwide, a Screen Actors Guild nomination, her LAMB clothing line and a successful fragrance in her name.

But what else is truly remarkable about this beautiful and extremely talented woman is her successful marriage to fellow musician Gavin Rossdale for 14 years in a place like Hollywood where marriages often last a mere months.

Stefani graces the cover of Elle UK‘s April issue in which she talks about her marriage, on what drives her and oh so much more.

Here are some excerpts from the interview:

Gwen on what drives her:

“I think of myself as really lazy. My ideal day would be to never get out of bed. No one can force me to do something unless I’m passionate about it.”

Gwen on marriage:“I’ve been with Gavin for 14 years, and, let’s face it, that is a huge accomplishment. I feel so proud of that – it hasn’t been the easiest journey.”

Gwen on make-up:“I wear make-up every single day; I like to wear make-up for Gavin and I don’t feel energized till I’ve put it on, then I’m ready to go.”

Gwen on modesty:“I have this real masculine-feminine thing: I’m not really that sexy – I get all made up and then I like to be a tough girl. I didn’t even wear high heels until I was in my thirties! To me, [stripping off] is so boring.”

Jennifer Aniston’s “Sex Tape”?

Posted on March 7, 2011 by Parisa Michelle

Clever marketing or desperate tactics..you make the call.

Jennifer Aniston is the spokesperson for Smart Water, and in an effort to make her first video commercial go viral, she is calling it her “sex tape.”

There’s actually nothing even close to sex taking place on this tape, there’s just a bunch of other internet favorite themes and people such as lip-syncher Keenan Cahill, litters and litters of puppies, the weeping Double Rainbow guy, creepy dancing babies and even a kick to the groin of Chelsea Lately‘s Brad Wollack.
