Dina Lohan to Star in "Hollywood Exes" Reality Show

Unstable, overbearing and generally painful Lindsay Lohan momager Dina Lohan is set to produce a Broadway-based reality show AND star in Hollywood Exes, a new reality show scheduled to air VH1 about … well, you can figure that out.

The former spouses of Prince, Will Smith, R. Kelly and Eddie Murphy will also participate. Along with the ex-wife of … Michael Lohan? What's wrong with this picture.

Dina will be shooting several episodes, but is not a full-blown member of the cast, at least at the start. Producers reportedly brought Dina in because she's friends with members of Hollywood Exes' cast and believe that she will "spice things up."

Wait … Dina has friends?

Lindsay Lohan and uber-thin Ali Lohan will not be appearing on the show, BTW, nor will MiLo … which makes you wonder how Dina intends on spicing up anything.

Amanda Bynes Charged With DUI, Asks President Obama to Fire Cop

June 6, 2012 5:49 AM by Free Britney

Amanda Bynes has been charged following her April 6 DUI arrest. In response, she Tweeted at President Obama to have the cop who arrested her fired.

"I don't drink," the actress, 26, said in a Tweet to the Barack Obama presidential campaign (@barackobama). "Please fire the cop who arrested me."

Don't count on it. The U.S. Government has no jurisdiction over a West Hollywood police matter. Moreover, guy doesn't even read his own account!

With Lady Gaga, you might get a reply, even as one of 25 million Monsters.

The misdemeanor charge of DUI against Bynes was filed Tuesday and relates to her April 6 arrest, when she was pulled over in West Hollywood.

The actress allegedly sideswiped a police car in her BMW when she tried to turn right, then did not stop. She refused a breathalyzer and drug test.

If convicted she faces a maximum penalty as a first-time offender of 48 hours in jail, three years probation and a nine-month alcohol program.

She could also lose her driver's license for a year, which might not be the worst thing, as this is one of several other recent driving mishaps for Bynes.

About a week after her arrest, she backed over a curb while texting, and a week later was spotted holding up traffic while making a slow three-point U-turn.

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney: Back On!

June 4th, 2012 3:56 PM by Hilton Hater

Bad Romance, schad schomance. Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney are back together!

About a month after sources confirmed the singer and the actor had split, insiders now tell Us Weekly that Kinney has joined Gaga on tour in Asia.

All is apparently good between the couple again.

"They sure looked like they were back together - holding hands and being cute everywhere they went," a witness says of Gaga and Kinney in Thailand.

"They were seen kissing right as they got into the [hotel] elevator."

Kinney is best known for his role on the Vampire Diaries, but will anchor Chicago Fire this fall on NBC.

A Gaga friend tells the tabloid that, while the singer is crazy busy on tour, she simply "missed" her man and is intent on making the relationship work now.

Think they can do it?

Style Crush: Taylor Swift

on June 1, 2012
 confess: I don't know what Taylor Swift sings. My knowledge of her music extends to the fact that she once wrote something that she made a music video about that went onto win a VMA, and I only know that because Kanye West was somehow involved, right? Okay, I might be familiar with her acting career, that is, if I were to admit to seeing the film Valentine's Day, which I'm not sure I'm prepared to do. 

So basically I don't know much about her, except that she seems nice enough, and like she probably uses the phrase "super duper," and that she dated Jake Gyllenhaal. 

Here's what else I know: She dresses like she actually lives in Pleasantville, which is awesome. Every flirty '50s dress, every Bye Bye Birdie headband, every polka dot pant, every gleaming strand of pearls, screams "ship my boyfriend off to war and put me in technicolor."

This is not country star behavior. Country stars are supposed to wear flowers tucked behind their ears, and denim-on-denim for casual times and ruffled, spangled denim for fancy times. Meanwhile, Swift looks like she's on her way to Joanie and Chachi's for a dinner party. At all times.

And did I mention her hair? So very blonde and old Hollywood. And her lips? So very red and femme fatale-y, adding a welcome splash of sultry and a sense of occassion. It really makes you wonder how she's not starring in one of those "fabric of my life" cotton ads. Talk about a missed opportunity

Kristen Stewart: I Was Bullied for Not Shaving My Legs Read

The Snow White and the Huntsman actress, 22, opens up to Vanity Fair about how she was bullied as a teenager for not dressing like her peers. "Look at a picture of me before I was 15. I am a boy. I wore my brother's clothes, dude!" she tells the magazine's July issue. "Not like I cared that much, but I remember being made fun of because I wasn't wearing Juicy jeans. I didn't even think about it. I wore my gym clothes."

PHOTOS: Kristen Stewart's grunge to glam evolution

Stewart continues: "But it's not like I didn't care that they made fun of me. It really bothered me. I remember this girl in sixth grade looked at me in gym and was like, 'Oh my God! That's disgusting -- you don't shave your legs!"

Miley Cyrus Takes Anti-Homophobia Stance on Twitter

June 5, 2012 7:47 AM by Hilton Hater

One of Hollywood's most outspoken supporters of gay marriage and LGBT equality, Miley Cyrus has taken to Twitter to once again stand up for this important cause.

Cyrus - who actually wrote an editorial on the issue and also has a tattoo that expresses her beliefs - posted a photo on the social network yesterday that includes a close-up of her "favorite accessory of the day."

Along with this button, Miley included the hashtag #stopspreadinhate.

Love Miley or hate Miley - and THG has certainly taken issue with some of her wardrobe choices and transparent attempts to break free from her Hannah Montana persona - you've gotta admire a celebrity for taking a controversial stand.

Cyrus also did so last month when she said parents ought to talk to their kids about sex.

Our Lyric of the Week Is Also the Best Song of the 2000′s: Beyonce — Crazy In Love

We all know Beyonce has been ruling over the pop world for years now, but did  you know just how long she’s been a Queen B? Apparently long enough for NME to declare “Crazy In Love“, her famous collaboration with now-husband Jay-Z as the best song of the 2000′s(which are supposedly called the “Noughties” — which will take some time to get used to).

In the publications latest list of the 100 Best Tracks of the Noughties, many other memorable hits are named like Outkast’s “Hey Ya” and Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab”, but there can only be one winner and Beyonce has never been one to give up the spotlight! That’s why this week’s lyric of the week is from her song “Crazy In Love”, now known as the #1 song of the Noughties.

McCain-Obama Dance-Off

Every presidential election year Family Circle magazine runs a cookie recipe contest between the two possible First Ladies. The winner of the contest for the past four elections has gone on to be (or continued to be) the First Lady. This year, Cindy McCain's Oatmeal-Butterscotch cookies beat out Michelle Obama's shortbread cookies. A cookie contest for our First Lady? Archaic? Ridiculous? Well then, how 'bout a dance-off between the candidates themselves? This virtual throwdown between John McCain and Barack Obama should at least take your mind off the 1950s flashback with a little bit of crumpin', twirling and fancy footwork.

Obama kicks it off with a challenge to his opponent:

Obama: Can I kick your old Republican ass?

Obama and Dance Crew: Yes, we can!

After Obama shakes his tailfeather for a bit, the face-off begins.

McCain: You're pretty good for a Democrat, but I don't believe you've heard my new campaign slogan: Crumpin' you can believe in. My friends, it's on!

Stay tuned for a special guest appearance by Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, but if the First Lady cookie contest offends, avoid the last few seconds of the video. Unless you think McCain might be talking about "tapping" Palin to be his a vice-presidential candidate. Nothing but awkward — unlike the rest of the moves in this clip.

Jennifer Aniston MTV Movie Awards 2012: Looks Sexy In Leather & Shows Off Toe Ring

It has been a while since we have seen the star — and she looks better than ever! For her first appearance in months she also broke out her favorite accessory — her toe ring!

If ain’t broke don’t fix it! Jennifer Aniston may be overly consistent on the red carpet, but considering how good she looks in a sexy black leather mini and strappy sandals, I don’t blame her for breaking out this ensemble for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards.

She paired her sexy Valentino frock with her best accessory — her toe ring! We’ve been tracking the star wear it around the world since 2010 — and we’re so happy to see that the star is still rocking it.

Nicollette Sheridan's 'Desperate Housewives' Lawsuit Put on Ice

Update: Sheridan hasn't give up hope yet. The actress's lawyer Mark Bauterecently told The Hollywood Reporterthat despite the appeal court's indefinite stay on the case, he is planning to fight to keep the retrial on track.

He released the following statement:

"The order reflects the court of appeals' desire to have the September 10 trial focus on the Labor Code Section 6310 claim. The reference to amendment in the order is designed to ensure that happens and the September 10 trial date remains intact. This will all become clearer as the briefs are filed later this summer. It does not change the trial or the trial date, and the temporary stay is designed to clarify and resolve those issues before the September trial starts. It would be foolish for the media to believe that an order which expressly states that the Labor Code 6310 claim should be added means anything more than that, especially at this point. We will file our briefs and move forward accordingly."

Best Movie Awards Musical Performance

Break out the champagne because the MTV Movie Awards are finally legal. And what would a 21st birthday party be without some rockin' music? To celebrate this huge milestone we looked back at Movie Awards performances of yesteryear and, man, there are so many highlights!

There's Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg's rousing rendition of "California Gurls" from 2010, which had every girl, California bred or not, moving in her seat. In 2008, Coldplay rocked the soon-to-be anthem, "Viva La Vida," live for the first time as confetti rained down on the audience. And while we're feeling all nostalgic, we can't forget 'NSYNC popping out of massive Barbie (Ken?) doll boxes to perform "It's Gonna Be Me" in 2000.

We can hardly decide who should be crowned best of the best. That's why we're asking YOU to vote! Who had the best musical performance in the history of the MTV Movie Awards?

Ashley Biden and Howard Krein: Married!

Ashley Biden, the daughter of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, got married on Saturday to Philadelphia surgeon Howard Krein before more than 200 friends and family.

The couple wed at the steepled St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church, in Greenville, Delaware. It's the same church where she was baptized.

The ceremony combined the bride's Catholic traditions and the groom's Jewish ones.  Afterward, the reception took place at the Biden family's lakeside home in Wilmington, Del., for a reception and dinner served family-style in the backyard.

The Vice President and his wife, Jill Biden, re-sodded the property and planted special fast-growing vines up the latticework around the party tent.

Joe Biden escorted the bride, who wore Vera Wang, down the aisle and had prepared to be emotional about giving away the youngest of his three children.

"I kept telling Ash, we've got to open up the church and practice walking up and down the aisle so I can handle it," the V.P. said last week.

He reminisced about the last time he saw Ashley Biden in a veil - at her First Communion. "I think to myself, aw, God, my little girl! This can't have passed so quick."

That's one expensive boys' toy! Angelina Jolie 'splashes out $1million on helicopter for fiance Brad Pitt

They are both avid aviators and money is no object. 

So it isn't too hard to believe that Angelina Jolie has splashed out nearly £1million on a helicopter for Brad Pitt, according to reports. 

The actress is said to have bought the luxury ride to go with a helicopter pad said to be installed in the grounds of their home in France.

 

High fliers: Angelina Jolie has reportedly bought fiancé Brad Pitt a £1million helicopter

A source told The Sun : 'They’ve had a helicopter pad installed in the grounds of their south of France home, Chateau Miraval.' 

'So Ange thought it would be nice to buy Brad a helicopter as a surprise present.'

Angelina is often seen taking to the sky to indulge in her passion for flying and now it appears she wants her fiancé to join in and according to the paper despite having a pilot's licence he will need some more flying lessons. 

A spokesperson for the actor was unavailable for comment earlier today.

 

Last month Hollywood's golden couple confirmed they were engaged and shortly after the news emerged they took their six children on a holiday to the Galapagos Islands. 

Brad might be learning to ride a helicopter in time for his and Angelina's nuptials which is thought to be taking place at their home in France. 

The lavish property has undergone extensive renovation in recent weeks and the new finished article looks superb.

As with most celebrities, Brad, 48, and Angelina, 36, will be desperate for some privacy on their big day and the expansive size of the £35million estate in the South of France will host them well.

While the pair have remained tight-lipped about their wedding, which will no doubt be the showbiz event of the year, it has been rumoured the pair will be tying the knot in August.

Ashley Olsen Retires From Acting at 25

In the latest issue of Elle UK, Ashley Olsen says she's retiring from acting at the ripe old age of 25. "I don't have to be a pretty face," says Ashley. "I've done that, but now it's important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don't like to be the center of attention anymore."

Ashley earned millions as a child star (with a little help from her twin Mary-Kate), so she doesn't exactly need to work. However, she won't be dropping out of the workforce entirely. Ashley plans to focus on her fashion lines The Row, Elizabeth and James, and Olsenboye, which she created with Mary-Kate. "We are perfectionists," she says. "We've always wanted to be closely involved with everything, totally hands on—that's why it works. If we step away, it stops working. I know it sounds controlling, but that's how it has to be."

Those concerned about Hollywood's Olsen-shortage can rest easy, because Mary-Kate still plans to take on occasional acting projects. Plus, with her breakout performance in Martha Marcy May Marlene, the twins' little sisterElizabeth Olsen has proven that she's ready to snatch up any roles Ashley doesn't want.

Rihanna's Most Risqué Looks

Last week, Rihanna was scolded by an Irish farmer for the red bikini he caught her wearing on his field while she was filming the music video for her latest single, "We Found Love." Naturally, the farmer has since been berated by fans for his conservative outburst, which is understandable. We can't comprehend anyone's inability to appreciate RiRi in almost-naked outfits. Maybe the farmer just needs to check out this gallery of the Bajan beauty's most risqué looks to fully understand why a half-nude Rihanna on your land is actually a blessing.

Justin Bieber assault claim hinges on self-defense, expert says

As Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives probe an altercation between pop star Justin Bieber and a photographer Sunday at a Calabasas shopping mall, one legal experts said a key issue is whether Bieber acted in self-defense.
Dmitry Gorin, a former deputy district attorney and now a criminal defense lawyer, said Bieber is the latest celebrity to fall into what he called the “paparazzi trap” in which the star gets into a scene with a photographer who he or she feels has gotten too close.
“These guys will often make it impossible for the celebrity to pass,” Gorin said.
Because this case would likely be a misdemeanor battery unwitnessed by police, the alleged victim could make a citizen arrest and then prosecutors would decide whether to file charges.
“Bieber could face a charge if he pushed or hit the photographer and it was not in self-defense," Gorin added. "But it is not really a jail-time offense.”
Authorities continued to investigate on Tuesday.
"We would like to talk to all potential witnesses," Capt. Mike Parker said.
Law enforcement sources said they want to get Bieber's side of the Sunday altercation but also are still trying to piece together exactly what happened. The incident occurred in a public area, so officials said they hope there are witnesses who saw what happened.
Detectives were investigating claims by the photographer that Bieber struck him after he snapped photographs of the singer and girlfriend Selena Gomez at the Commons at Calabasas shopping center.
The photographer complained of pain and was taken by the Los Angeles County Fire Department to a hospital, where he was treated and released, officials said.
The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, stressed that the probe was in its early stages.
A spokesperson for Bieber did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact detectives at (818) 878-1808. Anonymous tipsters may contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477).

Friends "devastated" over Dark Star's death

MINNETONKA, Minn. - Most people probably did not know George Chapple, but if you listened to local radio you knew his alter-ego, Dark Star.
Star was found dead in his apartment late Friday afternoon, which left his fans and friends alike stunned.
"I love him, I'm devastated, I so wish he was here," said Paul Allen, the radio voice of the Minnesota Vikings.
Allen showed up to Star's apartment building in hopes the news was somehow wrong.
"I can't believe the news and the way it all developed," said Allen as he broke down crying.
Allen said he knew something wasn't right when Star didn't show up for an appearance on KFAN radio.
"He didn't show up for the "Common Show" for the Common Man and that was his favorite time of the week and he didn't call," he said.
For 25 years, Star was best known for his nightly radio show on WCCO where he seemed to love his critics almost as much as his fans. He left 'CCO in 2010, but continued his other love, horse racing.
Randy Sampson owns Canterbury Downs, Star's second home. Star worked there since 1985, most recently as the host of the Race Replay Show.
His picture is seen in the Canterbury hallways, inducted in their hall of fame. But his presence will be missed most in the press box where his favorite seat sits empty.
"It's not going to be the same. We always talked about that was his living room up there and he talked about having to get his mail delivered there because he was in the press box more than he was at home," said Sampson.
Allen who has known Star since 1995 was the race announcer.
"Canterbury is so special to me and was so special to him that I can't believe when I go there tonight, he's not going to be sitting in that chair," he said.
While friends are coming to terms with the loss, they're wondering how Star died. Investigators have not released the cause of death, but they are not calling it suspicious.
"He's had his ups and downs in his health a little bit over the years, but it still comes as a surprise because we all saw him out here last Saturday," said Jon Mikkelson who worked with Star at Canterbury Downs.
Star, who had no formal training in broadcasting, practically willed his career to its well known heights. His friends say he did things his way, laughing and making jokes every step of the way.
"He wasn't afraid to be himself and do it the way he wanted to do it," said Allen.
