Another Reason to Love Hugh Jackman

trix — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:38:00 GMT

Hugh Jackman heard about all the fans camping out for the premier of Wolverine in Tempe, mentioned that he would buy them breakfast and guess what, he did.

He followed through on his promise and spent over $ 4000.00 on bagels and coffee for the campers.

Seriously, he is a class act. I wonder if he showed up to help deliver the goodies, because that would be awesome.

I can't wait to see the movie, Wolverine has always been my favorite character from X-Men.

Nicholas Cage and His Philosophy on Fame

trix — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 13:32:00 GMT

If you are out and about and happen to see Nicholas Cage and his family, feel free to go up and say hi, ask for an autograph even.

He has a very balanced view of the public and fans for a "movie star". He has even taught his family to be gracious with the fans that may sometimes interrupt his meals.

He believes in being polite and explained what he teaches his kids. "I let my kids know that the people we meet, and who say, 'Hi', they make it possible for us to live our lives and to eat. So we have to be thankful and be positive when we meet them, and that's important for people in my line of work. Let's be happy about these people... be thankful for them."

Wow, he sounds like a really nice guy, I hope to meet him or see him out someday.

Brad Pitt and His Dirty Lip on Oprah

Whit Honea — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:06:00 GMT

Brad Pitt brought his dirty lip to visit Oprah, and while there he took a video call from his number one fan! She could have been a hell of a lot crazier.

Here's the video:

Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton took the boys Dashiell, Roman and Iggy, out for a stroll in Sydney.

I see Roman is backing Darth Vader for president. Nice choice, I'm a big fan of his tax plan.

Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon University computer science professor, has died from the terminal cancer he had been fighting. Randy Pausch led a life all too short, but it was life well lived.

His "Last Lecture," in which he discussed the lessons of life as he had learned them, has had millions of internet viewers and Randy Pausch was featured on television shows and publications across the country.

It is a touching and moving lecture and it is a tribute to the man that was able to deliver it.

Randy Pausch is survived by his wife Jai and their three children, Dylan, 6, Logan, 3, and Chloe, 2.

The lecture can be seen below, it is worth watching:

Randy Pausch and the Impact of a Lecture

Whit Honea — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 06:56:00 GMT

I first saw the video of Randy Pausch giving his now famous "last lecture" shortly after it hit the internet. It came in an email, the type you normally delete, with little midi files playing crappy music and hearts bouncing on rainbows. There may or may not have been puppies. I'm sure that I was instructed to forward it to everyone that I love or some such thing. They all blur together, these dreaded "FWD" emails that stalk my inbox.

For some reason I watched the video that day and I may or may not have forwarded it to everyone that I love. I honestly don't remember. I do, however, recall the power of the video and the words of Randy Pausch, and if I think real hard I might even remember a tear or two, although it can never be proven.

I told the staff that I was going to write about Randy Pausch for FameCrawler and I only received one reply: who?

Granted, Randy Pausch hasn't made millions of dollars in the world of entertainment. He hasn't slept with Hollywood starlets, as far as I know. He hasn't been in rehab or sold pictures of his children to Ok! Magazine. He has been on Oprah, and no, he didn't jump on the couch. He is a celebrity, albeit a reluctant one, in the most positive sense of the word, and that is enough to justify his presence here.

His video, which was filmed as part of a series at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University where he taught computer science, has been viewed an estimated 6 million times. He was the subject of an hour long special with Diane Sawyer on Wednesday night and just had a book released this week. All of which deal with one thing, and in doing so expanding on many: life.

Randy Pausch is a father. He and his wife Jai have three children, Dylan, 6, Logan, 3, and Chloe, who is almost 2.

Randy Pausch is dying. He has terminal cancer. His time is limited.

His "last lecture" is about living life and chasing your childhood dreams. It was given to roughly 400 people in an auditorium in Pittsburgh. It has been seen by so many more and continues to touch and help people daily, yet Pausch makes one thing clear, while grateful and humbled by the attention, it is for his children that his words are intended.

The book is available now. The video is included below. Forward it to everyone that you love.

Ben Affleck is a Good Sport

Whit Honea — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 18:44:00 GMT

Ben Affleck seems pretty grounded. Here is is on the phone, reading the paper and taking a moment to pose with a random passerby. Sure, he doesn't look exactly thrilled, but he's playing along which says a lot about the guy.

It's pretty funny how the paparazzi being there to take this photo is just accepted. It seems like Ben was alone before this guy stopped him for a photo but I'm guessing Affleck doesn't get much alone time on the streets of NYC.

VIDEO: Christina Aguilera: (Not So Itsy Bitsy) Spider

Karen — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 19:02:00 GMT

Christina Aguilera and her baby bump were spotted at Hyde last night, dressed as a Spider Queen, while hubby Jordan Bratman dressed as Dracula. Christina's costume included a web over her belly and a giant spider in her mile high hair. An extremely annoying fan repeatedly asked her to sign an autograph before the couple jumped in a limo. Video after the jump.

When Ben Affleck Ditches Family These Smiles Turn to Tears: Jennifer and Violet, a Baseball Story

Whit Honea — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 16:32:00 GMT

Really Ben? You'd rather watch the heartbreak that will undoubtedly arise from the Red Sox in the World Series than spend time with these lovely ladies? You're just going to leave them on the street to fend for themselves while you pound Guinness with Matt Damon and root for guys with ketchup on their socks? That's cold.

I hear you, man. It's the series, I get it. I just had to write that last bit in case my wife browsed through FameCrawler today. Cute kid.

BTW, that headline was wicked awesome, wasn't it?

Ben Affleck Picks Red Sox Over Wife

Whit Honea — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 15:57:00 GMT

Ben Affleck, the same guy that ducked out of his own movie premiere to catch a Boston Red Sox game, has again found himself ducking out. This time on his wife.

"Fortunately for me," said Ben, "I've already been to see Jennifer on Broadway, so there's not really a conflict. I'm not required to go see that again.

"She's a very big Red Sox fan so she'll be sure I'm running back during the intermission checking the score."

Nicely played, Affleck. Nicely played.

PICTURES!! Red Hot Chili Pepper Dad Anthony Kiedis and Baby Everly Bear

Whit Honea — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 20:34:00 GMT

Red Hot Chili Pepper frontman Anthony Kiedis and his girlfriend Heather Christie had their son, born October 2, 2007, in Los Angeles. They named the baby Everly Bear. Here is the story behind the name:

According to People, Kiedis says, "We had a long list of names, but I suppose it came to me by way of the Everly Brothers, which is one of my favorite bands, and sometimes last names make good first names."

Kiedis credits his girlfriend with the rest. "The mama came up with Bear, that made sense to me because he's from me and I feel like I'm part of the bear clan, and I think it's nice to have a little bit of earth in your name."

"Being a father is different, it's much different," Kiedis says. "I sleep when I can, but he's letting me off pretty easy so far. He's a very calm and peaceful kid."

It's hard to imagine anything Kiedis being calm, what with the blood, sex, sugar an magic in the veins, must be the mother's milk. Yes, I went there.

HERE'S THE FIRST PICTURE COURTESY OF ANTHONY'S FATHER BLACKIE!

I wonder what Everly Bear will be for Halloween, maybe something from a naruto clan, or Pooh Bear. That would be cool.

Jaime Pressly Makes Clothes and Inspires Trashy People

Who knew that Jamie Pressly made clothes? She has her new line, J'aimie (not shown, that's Le Tigre and they like the boom), and some pretty trashy fans. TMZ caught a lovely moment between Pressly and one of her fans on video. Enjoy.

Why Would Anyone Attack Brad Pitt?

Whit Honea — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 13:12:00 GMT

It was a crime of passion. A crazed fan, undoubtedly a reader of FameCrawler, ran through the Jolie-Pitt manny collection and embraced Brad with every ounce of lust she could muster. Needless to say, Brad did not reciprocate. So far authorities have not denied that the woman was, in fact, Jennifer Aniston.

Luckily for everyone involved, the woman was a lover and not a fighter, but the big picture is that she was able to get past his security, which I assume he pays a few bucks to prevent such things. What if she had been violent? What if the kids had been around? I think the manny guards have a lot of soul-searching to do.
