Talk about the sh*t hitting the fan – during a live news program no less.
Call me old fashioned. Or call me a cynic. But I just think some actors use “researching a role” as an excuse to downplay some of the questionable activities they engage in while in pursuit of their “art.”
“I found this guy that was kind of a perfect model,” Franco explained. “He claimed to service both males and females. He took me on one of his jobs.”
At the time, Franco was researching the role of a male prostitute which he was to play in 2002’s Sonny. So he followed the real-life male gigolo role model into a strip club to talk and things went in a different direction than Franco says he had planned.
The gigolo’s friend came over to them and said, ” ‘Oh, you wanna play a prostitute? You want some real research? Then come with us.'” Franco continued: “It went down. Everything went down, as you see in the movies and hear about. The eerie thing is, it was like a movie, but it wasn’t a movie. It was the real thing, happening in front of me.”
You all have been so patient but you don’t have much longer to wait for your fave self-proclaimed, fist-pumping guidos and guidettes of Jersey Shore (season 3) to make their triumphant TV return in less than a month!
Thank you MTV for being in such a giving holiday mood. Season 3 of Jersey Shore will debut January 6– What a festive way to ring in the new year.
OMG! STOP THE PRESSES!!! Because it just can’t be. I know it would sound insane and idiotic if I print it, but it appears that NOT everyone is in love with the stylistic endeavors of the self-made fashion divas, also known as The Kardashian Sisters.
As if that isn’t graphically-horrid enough, Caramanica continues, “Clothes are essentially split into two categories of fit: vacuum-sealed and hot-air balloon.”
But don’t feel too bad for the K sisters. They do just fine financially without the aid of DASH NYC. Each of the three sisters made the top ten highest money-earning reality stars, raking in an estimated total of $11 million.
Only five more months until the immortal Captain Jack Sparrow will be back terrorizing the high seas. LOL. Well, you know, not exactly terrorizing. More like, charmingly stealing his way back into our hearts yet again.
On May 20, Johnny Depp will reprise the iconic role which he created from scratch as he once again sets foot into Captain Jack Sparrow’s mucky boots in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Continue reading
We already knew 8 of Barbara Walter’s picks for the 10 Most Fascinating People of 2010. Those 8 were:
Tonight, we found out the identity of the last two. One, I had correctly guessed to be Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook. The other one, who was Barb’s pick for the most fascinating person of 2010, I believe took every one by surprise: General David Petraeus.
General Petraeus is a United States Army general who serves as the current Commander, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander, U.S. Forces Afghanistan. He was appointed by President Barack Obama to replace former Gen. Stanley McChrystal as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
Barbs explains General Petraeus is kind of a “rock star” in the military. Barb continued, “In life, it seems, there are people who break things and people who fix them. This man is a fixer. A lot depends on General Petraeus and his combination of humanity and strength.” It seems that in this war, it is a combination of compassion and firepower which is needed to combat the specific enemies facing the US in that terrain.
Petraeus believes in creating order by gaining the trust of the locals. In practice, this means constructing schools, teaching farmers new techniques, helping local businesses grow, bolstering the government to provide basic services to its own citizens, and maintaining peace to keep it from becoming a launching pad for terrorists.
Petraeus joins an eclectic and bizarre group for the title of “Most Fascinating Person,” as selected by Barb over the last 18 years of the list’s existence. Last year, first lady Michelle Obama was named the Most Fascinating person. In 2008, it was then President-elect Barack Obama. Past honorees include Laura Bush, J.K. Rowling, Nancy Pelosi, Paris Hilton, Camilla Parker Bowles, Lance Armstrong, Gen. Tommy Franks, Colin Powell, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Nelson Mandela and more. Yep, you read that correctly. The top honorees over the years have in fact included both Paris Hilton and Nelson Mandela. If that does not spell eclectic and bizarre, I don’t know what else would.
Here are some clips from tonight’s special:
Who was the Queen or King of top searched celebrities in 2010? Depends on whether you ask Bing or Google.
But, this week, Google’s list of top 2010 searched celebs has been unveiled and the two search engines have turned up quite different results. Google gave the crown to Justin Bieber and has Kimmie coming in at three.
Since Google has, well a google more users than Bing, I guess Justin Bieber wins this battle of searches just like he has won every other battle it seems this year.
But the full list of results (below) make me wonder who the typical Bing Search user and the typical Google Search user is because each user certainly differs in his/her taste for “celebrities.”
Reese Witherspoon is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly which hits the stands this Friday, December 10.
On dealing with a publicized divorce:
“It definitely sometimes feels like a suit that I wish I could zip off. But I don’t feel bad about any of the things I’ve gone through, whether it’s divorce or breakups or anything like that, because that’s all part of the life journey, and I have those experiences just like anyone else. And I think it deepens what you tap into creatively.”
On dealing with pain:
“My favorite quote is from Martha Stewart: ‘I have a short memory for painful things.’ And I do. I have one of those incredible memories where I just erase painful things. Maybe that’s really unhealthy, and I probably need to see a therapist. But I don’t dwell. You just keep going forward. Also, I have kids. What are you going to do? Are you going to teach them to be one of those people who keep looking in the rearview mirror, or are you going to teach them to be one of those people who go, ‘Tomorrow’s another day’?”
On her mother handling Reese’s wedding rumors:
“My mom always texts me, like, ‘Are you getting married?’ ” Witherspoon says, laughing. “I’m like, ‘Mom, come on! You would know if I was getting married.’ ”
On Googling herself:
“Oh, only in very, very dark moments—moments of pure self-loathing—do I type my name into Google. [Laughs] And I know what I’m in for. You never read anything positive—you always go straight to where you know they’re going to say something nasty about you.”
There has been more news about Michael Jackson this year than in some years when the legend was still alive. This time, it is the release of MJ’s new music video for “Hold My Hand” which is making headlines!
