VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

   Prepare to be dazzled and awed. Whether or not you watch So You Think You Can Dance, and whether or not you like to dance, I promise you will [get-out-of-your-seat-and dance] love this routine by this year’s SYTYCD contestant, Alex Wong who is partnered with old-timer, and one of my all-time favorite dancers, Stephen “Twitch” Boss.

Paris Hilton Set For World Cup–But Does She Also Read CelebMagnet?

Paris Hilton is one celebrity who sure knows how to travel in style – this is a picture she just tweeted with the caption: “All Packed and Ready for The World Cup! So excited!”


My Two Cents Worth: I wonder what is in all those boxes, chests and suitcases. I actually didn’t even know people still used chests to travel. Guess if you have your own private jet, you can take anything you want with you. Oh, Paris


Update: Does Paris read CelebMagnet? As soon as I published my post, Paris followed up with this tweet and picture:“This Private Jet takes Huge to Another Level. Loves it!”



It‘s very possible!  Here is a screenshot of Tweeter which shows the chain of events:


Mexican Police Abuse Bruce Beresford-Redman’s Cell Phone

TMZ has uncovered a pretty funny story. At least I think it’s funny.  Mexican police have had a ball with the cell phone they confiscated from former Survivor producer Bruce Brersford-Redman, the man accused of murdering his wife (OK, that part is obviously not funny).  Per Bruce’s attorney (actually a spokesman for Bruce’s attorney) Bruce has received an AT&T cell phone bill showing approximately $3,800 in charges incurred after Mexican authorities seized the phone.  Per TMZ, there were “numerous phone calls, international texts and roaming charges which were made while the phone was in the possession of the Mexican authorities.”  


My Two Cents Worth: OK, you know, if you murder your wife, this should be the least of your worries. You kinda deserve it. And, maybe your attorney and the spokesperson for your attorney should stop worrying about the cell phone charges and focus instead on a defense on the murder allegations.

Larry King Retires From CNN – Announced on Twitter

BREAKING NEWS.

   Twitter apparently has become the official news source via which celebrities quit showbiz. Or maybe Larry King has taken notes from Amanda Bynes on how to announce his retirement. Just like Amanda did so earlier in the month, Larry King announced Tuesday via Twitter that he is going to step down from Larry King Live.

The 76-year-old will not be leaving CNN altogether: He signed a new contract to host quarterly specials on the cable news channel. But his departure from prime time marks a major turning point for CNN, which has built its schedule around Larry King Live for 25 of the network’s 30 years on the air.  I mean, how can they have a Larry King Live without a Larry King?  You can read more about the story on Los Angeles Times

Steve Carell Leaving The Office

BREAKING CELEBRITY NEWS.

  Steve Carell has just confirmed that he is leaving his  role on NBC’s The Office after next season.
Steve says:

“I just think it’s time. I want to fulfill my contract. When I first signed on I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh. I just thought it was time for my character to go.  It doesn’t certainly mean the end of the show. I think it’s just a dynamic change to the show, which could be a good thing, actually. Add some new life and some new energy…I see it as a positive in general for the show. I didn’t see it as a huge thing and I certainly didn’t anticipate any sort of hubbub over it. I’m just not going to extend my contract, but I didn’t see it as a huge deal. And the show is great, and the ensemble is so strong, and the writers are great, so it’s just one part of that ensemble drifting off. They’ve incorporated so many new characters and so many new, great storylines that I have no doubt it’ll continue as strong if not stronger than ever.”

My Two Cents Worth: I think The Office has the best ensemble cast on TV. However, I just can’t imagine Dunder Mifflin without Michael Scott! It’s the same thing with American Idol; I just can’t imagine American Idol without Simon Cowell. I am hoping that I am wrong, but I just think both shows will tank given the respective blows to each cast.
