Stephen Baldwin Sues Kevin Costner

Stephen Baldwin v. Kevin Costner. I didn’t see this fight coming, but, it’s on!

Baldwin has just filed a lawsuit against Costner, accusing him of duping him out of a multi-million dollar investment.

Apparently, Costner owns Ocean Therapy, a company which has invented machinery to separate oil from water. Think back to the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and then you will realize we are talking about a big boatload of dollars at stake here!

According to the lawsuit which was filed in a Louisiana federal court, Costner let Baldwin in on a 10% share of his company. But problems arose when, per Baldwin, Costner bought back Baldwin’s shares after allegedly lying to him about his eventual plans to sell the machinery to BP and making millions from the sale.

And not just two or three million dollars. As it turns out, Costner later sold 32 machines to the oil corporation, at a total estimated value of $52 million.

I guess Costner is accused of getting away with all the green while trying to go green for the environment. This should be an interesting case to watch unfold.

Two Thumbs Down On The Shaved Zac Efron

Zac Efron Tweeted the above photo of himself from the set of The Lucky One, a Nicholas Sparks film Efron will appear in.

Efron plays a Marine who just returned from a  third tour of duty in Iraq, hence, the shaved head.

Do you like the new look? I can’t say that I do.

BUT, Efron did a very cool thing! He told the cast and crew of the movie that for each person who would get a similar haircut, he would donate money to the Kingsley House, a New Orleans-based charity (where the movie is being shot) which aids  local children and families. About 30 volunteers stepped up to the task.

Now, that is cute.

Michael Jackson’s Album Sales Are In – Not Too Shabby

Michael Jackson‘s posthumous new album, Michael, was released December 13 and has already sold 228,000 copies in the U.S. and hundreds of thousands more overseas.

In addition to the purchased units, another 3 million copies were shipped abroad for sale so the numbers should pick up in the upcoming weeks.

While the numbers aren’t earth shattering, they’re still pretty impressive for any new release. Compare them to the sales for the album released by Crystal Bowersox during the same week and you get a better sense for this posthumous accomplishment.

Michael debuted at #3 in the U.S.  It came behind Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, (259,000) and Susan Boyle’s The Gift (254,000). 

The album did hit #1 in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden. It also hit  was #3 and #4 in Japan and the UK, respectively.

In an interview on Chelsea Lately Tuesday night, Reese confided in Chelsea Handler that she doesn’t like to see photos of herself. “That Kinda drives me nuts. I literally think I look bad in every picture.”
