This makes my Video Clip of the Day for three reasons: CelebMagnet loves giving away the chance to win free things that I don’t have to pay for; it involves super-talented and never-a-dull-moment Lady Gaga; and Ryan Seacrest looks hot in it. Yes, I used “Ryan Seacrest” and “hot” in one sentence. Anyway, check it out if you want to win a pair of tickets to FOUR Lady Gaga concerts, airfare and hotel included.
And now, some funny celebrity news: A private jet plane made an emergency landing last night – but you would never believe why! The plane had on board comedian Dave Chappelle. And apparently, the pilot couldn’t handle Chappelle’s erratic behavior because during the flight, Dave “freaked out” and refused to put his seat belt on. Then — according to TMZ’s sources — Dave repeatedly walked into the cockpit, asking how much longer the flight would be, and started grabbing the pilot’s arms. Obviously, the pilot freaked out too – who wouldn’t – and decided Chappelle was a safety risk. As such, the pilot made an emergency landing to get Chappelle off of the plane.
What made Chappelle act so strangely? A rep for him told TMZ that Dave really needed to use the
restroom — he ate something that didn’t sit well — and the bathroom on the plane was “not the kind he needed.”
My Two Cents Worth: I am extremely afraid of flying. I had an episode on a plane once when, for whatever reason, I got a bit too claustrophobic for my own liking. So, why not just say Chappelle reacted the way he did because he does not like to fly. That would have been understandable, even if not true. But, oh, no. The rep blamed the strangeness on a case of the runs and the inadequacy of the bathroom. I don’t get that, even though it’s quite funny. What kind of bathroom would Chappelle need anyway? I’m pretty sure his needs don’t differ from any other man. And I think a plane bathroom would suffice if one were that desperate. Maybe one of you guys can explain this one to me and let me know if this could actually be a legitimate reason.
I just came across an article in a well-known publication, aggregating movie reviews of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse rendered by several well-known movie critics. Are you kidding me? People actually made an effort to review this movie? I am here to tell you that no one will give these reviews any thought or serious weight. Moviegoers either love or loathe these movies and no so-called ‘movie expert’ is going to change our minds.
After two installments of Twilight, both already having been seen by a gazillion people or ignored by the rest of humanity, we know more or less what Eclipse will deliver. I think most people that watch movies in general would fall in one of three camps when it comes to Twilight. The first camp is composed of TwiHards who love this movie and actually believe it is ground-breaking and earth-shattering. They have been waiting seven months since the release of New Moon to see Eclipse and no movie critic is going to stand in the way of their stampede to the movie theater.
The second camp include other TwiHards who know this movie saga sucks, but can’t help loving it for a million other unexplainable reasons. Those that fall in this camp are aware of what this movie series is and what it isn’t. They realize this movie series, despite having horrible dialogue, robotic acting and zero character development still has inexplicably found a way into popular culture. Twilight somehow magically transforms women (and probably men if they admit to it) of all ages back to their 16-year old selves; a time in our lives when we believed that once-in-a-lifetime soul mate kinda love was possible for us all. You know, the kind of love which would make you do stupid things like give up your life as a human, your family, your friends, everything. Only so you could become a blood-sucking vampire and be able to make love to said soul mate without being shattered by his vampire strength. We don’t need Oscar-worthy acting, or believable dialogue to transport us to this place in our minds that we still want to dearly hang on to. So, this group would say, “Spare us movie critics, we need to get to our pre-purchased movie showing.”
The last camp of movie goers are people who hate the entire Twilight saga for no apparent reason at all, or happen to actually have good taste in movies. No glowing review of Eclipse or impassioned trashing, is going to make a difference to the haters of the series.
I’ll admit I fall into camp #2. I hate Edward’s acting, his glare, his iciness. I hate Bella’s lip biting even more. I laugh at the fact that there could be nice, vegetarian vampires in the world. But I still can’t help rooting for Bella to be turned into a cold lifeless vampire so she can eternally be bound to her one true love, Edward.
So, tell me, who are the critics writing for? Would a review of Eclipse change your mind, one way or another? Which camp do you fall under? And if you still don’t own New Moon on DVD and want to, it’s on sale on Amazon! Click here
This is pretty shocking news: 37-year old Joe Francis, founder of Girls Gone Wild, is getting married. Sort of. It’s shocking to me for obvious reasons but also because until recently, he was dating one of my friends, against my vehement protests to her.
The bride to be is his on-again, off-again girlfriend of four years, Los Angeles-based CBS reporter Christina McLarty. Francis told Page Six that he and McLarty won’t be taking a mainstream route for their actual wedding. “We have chosen to have a civil domestic partnership because we don’t believe it’s appropriate to be married until our gay and lesbian friends are afforded the same rights as us to legally marry in the United States,” he said.
My Two Cents Worth: Wow –That’s a good one men; you should remember that excuse if you are gun-shy about getting hitched. Having a civil domestic partnership for a straight couple with ability to have a civil wedding sounds like a pretty smart way to pretend to get serious, you know, without really getting serious.
When I saw this picture, I knew I had to share it with you. Not because of the shock factor; not to belittle someone’s looks. But more to educate.
Hollywood sets the tone for glamor. For what is considered the standard of beauty. So many every-day women develop poor self-image of themselves because of self-comparisons to the unrealistically-beautiful women portrayed in the media or on the big screen. But ladies – take note: Hollywood beauty is mostly smoke and mirrors.
I’m telling you, you would not even recognize half of the celebrity women if you saw them without their makeup and wardrobe. They look like the rest of us without the help of hours worth of beauty enhancements. I see them every day, and wonder, quietly, “How do you look so different in person?”
Take Britney Spears for example. How many young girls have changed their entire look or fashion just to emulate this woman? She, after all, was for many years the icon for beauty and sex appeal. She still is on days she is all made up to look like the Britney we think we know.
But even this “ideal” can have a day off as you can see. And it is OK.
So, next time you feel bad about yourself, don’t. Just remember, most women on TV or movies, don’t really look like that in real life. They probably look more like me and you.
Do you know who Andrew Garfield is? I sure don’t. But I guess Sony Pictures does because they just confirmed today he is the new face of Spider-Man and Peter Parker moving forward. At least for the next installment of the movie which I have heard will be a pre-quel. So just who is Andrew Garfield?
He was born in Los Angeles and raised in England. He is a 26-year-old actor who has been in only a handful of films, including last year’s Red Riding and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus as well as the 2007 film Lions for Lambs, opposite Meryl Streep, Robert Redford and Tom Cruise.
That does not help me at all.
But wow–what a lucky break for this guy. The latest Spider-Man will hit the theaters in exactly two years (July 3,2012) and will be in 3D. Hmmm…Can’t say that “I can’t wait.” Now that we know who Andrew is, next question is: where is Tobey Maguire?
Sometimes I can’t believe I live in this nutty town. Hardly a day goes by without me shaking my head at something new I see and thinking, “wow.” Today, was no exception. I was at Venice Beach and noticed a peculiar-looking orange vintage car. I am not a car buff, so, maybe it wasn’t even vintage. But, regardless, it caught my eye. So, I walked up to it. As eye-catching as the car was for me initially, the closer I got to it, the more my attention was diverted away from the car to an object inside the car. No way, I thought. Noooo way. Oh yes way. There was a mini-me of the strange-looking car inside the car.
Funnier even is that the mini-me is nestled in the front seat, safely buckled in as you can see. Guess the real car is just not enough of a toy for the owner. Give me a break! Or get me outta here. I think it’s time I get a vaction out of LaLa Land. And soon.
This highly-acclaimed hip-hop routine called Outta Your Mind was the show’s first man-on-man competition routine and was choreographed by husband-wife super couple, Napoleon and Tabitha D’umo.
When a $15,000 movie makes $200 million worldwide like Paranormal Activity did, you knew there would be a sequel! So, sit back, hold on tight to the person next to you and watch this trailer. If you want to see the whole movie, you will have to wait until October.
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:
