Spike Lee and Son, It's Gotta be the Snacks

Whit Honea — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 22:08:00 GMT

Knicks ~~glutton for punishment~~ fan Spike Lee and his son Jackson spent the other night courtside enjoying basketball, concessions and the hope of a pending election.

Between Obama and the junkfood who needs a winning basketball team?

Tim McGraw and the Wife Beaters

Whit Honea — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:02:00 GMT

Dear Josh Homme, this is how you kick someone out of a concert.

Tim McGraw was performing on stage last night when he noticed some big, probably drunk, cowboy harassing a lady in the audience and had him pulled onstage before being kicked out. Actually, McGraw pulled him on stage and came pretty close to punching the idiot before returning to the microphone and going on with business as usual. That's professional, Holmes, er, Homme.

Just goes to show you that Tim McGraw is a classy guy, and while he won't stand still for a wife beater, he sure can wear the hell out of one.

Mark Wahlberg on Letterman (and off, too)

Whit Honea — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:40:00 GMT

Mark Wahlberg was a guest of David Letterman's last night promoting The Happening and as usual the topic turned to kids (and aliens vs. Jesus). Mark and his partner Rhea Durham are expecting a baby boy later this summer.

I'll throw the video on here when it becomes available, but in the meantime enjoy this clip of Wahlberg leaving the theater and interacting with his fans and some people that don't know who he is.

Starsailor Makes Baby Waves

Whit Honea — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 22:08:00 GMT

Starsailor's James Walsh apparently has himself in a bit of a pickle. His wife is scheduled to deliver on June 15th, which is Father's Day, and he and the lads have a show booked at the Isle of Wight festival.

James assures his fans that he'll play the show and doesn't want to let them down. I'm guessing no encore.

I may be speaking out of turn here, James, but the fans will forgive you- Your.Wife.Won't.

Oh, and if you're not familar with Starsailor, here you go:

Manny Ramirez Hits 500th Career Homer, Makes A Fan Out Of Me

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 13:05:00 GMT

I don't know much about basball, but even I know this is a big deal. Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez hit the 500th home run of his career in a game against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night. Ramirez became the 24th player to reach the milestone.

“I’m happy, you know, about everything I accomplished in life,” said Ramirez. “Not everybody has the chance to go and get to 500. I’m just proud to do it.”

Red Sox fan Damon Woo caught the ball. Even though he could likely fetch several thousand dollars for the historic souvenir, Woo graciously returned the ball to a grateful Ramirez after the game. "It's his accomplishment, it's his achievement, it's his ball," said Woo. "That's the right thing to do."

Ramirez' immediate plans for the ball center around his four sons Manuelito, 13, Connor, 15, Manny Jr., 5, and Lucas, 2. "What I want to do with the ball is take some pictures with my kids," he said.

After that, Ramirez says he'll donate proceeds from the ball to a hospital - he has been working on a program through which he donates $1000 to charity for every home run he hits.

I'm not even a baseball fan, but I love this story - the graciousness of Damon Woo and the generosity of Manny Rodriguez. The next time I go to a game I might even pay attention instead of just eating.

Celebrities Are Not Immune To The Crappy Real Estate Market

Karen — Tue, 27 May 2008 12:02:00 GMT

Christina Aguilera bought The Osbourne's house not to long ago for over $11 million dollars, and she's selling her current home in Hollywood Hills for nearly $8 million.

Why?

Her current home is an adult playground of a gym, a pool and a 12-person spa with a fireplace, a professional screening room that seats 18, five bedrooms and seven bathrooms in 6,500 square feet, and it all sits at the end of a cul-de-sac.

And it's not childproof.

So the pop diva is moving her family to the new digs she bought last summer. Six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms in 11,500 square feet ought to do the trick. Hopefully the dog poop was cleaned up. Yuck.

See what I did there? Dog poop? Crappy Real Estate?

If Dog Poop Mansion doesn't work out, they could always live in her E-cup.

Christina Aguilera: These Boobs Aren't Made For Buying

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 21 May 2008 21:14:00 GMT

Lactating mama Christina Aguilera may be flashing her boobies all over town, but beware - don't tell her you like what you see. A fan who spotted Xtina at a Hollywood nightclub was thrown out of the club for doing so.

Aguilera was hanging with friends at hotspot Villa when a fan sent over a drink, which Christina declined and sent back to the male admirer. When he persisted and sent over another, Christina promptly had the man escorted out by security guards.

I know celebs are wary of potential stalkers, but having the poor guy kicked out seems a little extreme. Maybe Christina, who recently gave birth to son Max, has her mothering instincts in high gear. Then again, maybe she just didn't like the drink the dude sent over.

Must have been a Dirrty martini.

Xtina & Baby Max!

David Duchovny's Kyd is a Pirate

Whit Honea — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:06:00 GMT

I'm guessing that David Duchovny's son Kyd Miller is on a team called the Pirates and that he isn't an actual pirate, or even more far-fetched, a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates. I do like that he bought a drink to accessorize with. Nice touch.

David on the other hand sticks to the classic Puma insignia, which reminds me- I saw the sweetest pair of Puma running shoes the other day. Note to self: buy shoes, take up running.

Oh yeah, Duchovny... I wonder how the X-files movie is coming along.

Brad and Angelina Save a Young Fan from Being Trampled

Karen — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 23:03:00 GMT

When Angelina Jolie was honored at the Santa Barbara Film Festival at the Arlington Theatre, she and Brad Pitt weren't expecting to be heroes too. A throng of fans got overzealous and 8 year old Seth Mascareno was squashed against a metal railing.

The boy's mother Adeline explains, "The crush of people was just overwhelming. Angelina and Brad rushed over and she helped pull Seth under the barricade while Brad yelled for the crowd to back up.

"Then Angelina took Seth aside to make sure he was unharmed. When she was sure he was all right, she signed a Tomb Raider photo he was carrying. She stroked Seth's hair and said: 'There, there sweetheart, you're OK now.'"

What a touching moment for the young fan!

Tom Brady in a Cast?

Whit Honea — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 17:22:00 GMT

Tom Brady was seen gimping along in NYC wearing a walking boot type of cast on his right foot. The New England Patriot's quarterback was on his way to his girlfriend's apartment.

Doesn't it seem like he should be surrounded by overly-enthusiastic Giants fans?

Later reports suggest that Brady is fine. Looks like Gisele was able to make him better.

Jamie Lynn Spears' Pregnancy: Kevin Federline Knew & Britney Denies

Sassy Smith — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 22:06:00 GMT

Holy drama! This Jamie Lynn pregnancy just makes my head spin.

VIDEO AFTER THE JUMP

Jamie's big sister, ~~trainwreck~~ Britney is on video denying that her sister is pregnant. "Whatever y'all." Either she didn't know, thought she could somehow diffuse the situation in her ditzy way, or she's on something. I'm going with the latter.

However, K'Fed, Britney's ex, knew about the pregnancy. Ouch. Reportedly, Mama Spears, Lynne told Kevin on Monday because she wanted him to be prepared for Britney's reaction to the news. Hmm, somebody a little unstable perhaps?

“Kevin knew before Britney, that Jamie Lynn is pregnant. In fact, Britney’s mom Lynne, told Kevin about it on Monday, because Lynne wanted Kevin to be prepared when Britney found out,” said a source.

Apparently Lynne Spears is concerned that her older daughter could "display extreme behavior" as she has in the past concerning other issues that have created problems. The source continued, "We're waiting for the fallout from Britney. She likely will be upset." Britney? Extreme behavior? No way!

It is indeed upsetting for a family to have to deal with such a young girl being pregnant. And somehow, it wouldn't surprise me if Britney, somehow, makes this about herself.

Theo Epstein Adds to the Red Sox Nation

Whit Honea — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:38:00 GMT

The Boston Globe is reporting that Theo Epstein, the GM of the Red Sox, and his wife Marie have welcomed their first child. The baby, a boy named Jack, was born a few days early.

Congrats to the Epstein family and the Red Sox nation.

See, I can be downright civil for a Yankees fan.

Panties,The Simpsons and Rehab: The Life Of Britney Spears

Sassy Smith — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 13:04:00 GMT

According to OK! magazine, Britney's family wants her back in rehab. On the bright side, a loyal fan sent Spears 365 pairs of panties and she might be a "Simpson" character!

Let's start with the fun stuff shall we? According to the National Enquirer, an anonymous fan sent the vajayjay flashing poptart a box of panties. Enough for every day of the year! No more yucky crotch shots from Britney, hooray! Well, that is if she actually wears them when going out in public. We can't always get a miracle happenin'.

Spears may soon be appearing in an episode of the popular TV show, The Simpsons. Execs are keen on getting Britney sharing some screen time with Homer Simpon and family. However, they won't be taking any pot-shots at the troubled singer, according to Yeardley Smith, who does the voice of Lisa Simpson. She said, "Britney is ripe for the picking, but we have to do it well-I don't want to be cruel." Aww why not? Oh I'm kidding ~~no I'm not~~.

Britster is reportedly to be spoofed at Bart's school and her famous first video hit "Baby One More Time" will be incorporated. Another source said, "There are talks ongoing and it's hopeful it will happen. The appearance would be a positive one. Never mind what's happening in her private life, Britney is big again." Oh yes she is, ~~a big trainwreck~~.

OK! magazine is reporting that, Britney Spears' family wants her to head back to rehab. Good luck with that. Her behavior keeps spiraling out of control and that has her parents,brother, and younger sister, Jamie Lynn, worried. They apparently tried to hold an impromptu intervention, asking her to give rehab another try. A family friend said, "But she seemed to just thumb her nose at everyone. So they are going to attempt another intervention and hopefully save her from herself." Her family is hoping this time around, it'll work, so Spears can get herself back on track and be able to be a good mother to her two young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Now there's a miracle we'd love to see!

Happy Birthday Miley Cyrus!

Whit Honea — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus turned 15 yesterday on Black Friday. I think it was pretty bright for her. You see, she may have been snubbed by Britney Spears who apparently ignored the Cyrus family Thanksgiving invitation, but she's doing okay. She 's 15-years-old, is selling out stadiums faster than the Beatles, getting ready to film a movie and playing a show in Nashville. That's this week.

On the downside, she's getting old enough now that we'll be weening her off of FameCrawler, but that's okay. This little bird can fly.

"Team Britney" Steals My Pet Name for FameCrawler

Whit Honea — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 23:34:00 GMT

Welcome to Team Britney, bitches. The only thing sadder than the mess Britney Spears has made of her life is a group of people denying that it is happening. Team Britney, aka the board of Taco Bell shareholders, is a collection of Britney fans (judging by the photo I'd say it's a collection of all the Britney fans) that feel the star is being unfairly treated.

They also feel that the Holocaust never happened and that the moon landing was filmed in Burbank.

Membership is open to anyone with a love of Britney and a firm grasp on denial. That ain't a river, y'all.

Please send all dues and donations to FameCralwer, attn: Free $$ Department.

I Cornered, I Mean, Met Nicole Richie and Joel Madden in a Hallway at the Hannah Montana Concert and They Were So Totally Human

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 19:50:00 GMT

Meet my new BFFs, Joel and Nicole. Okay, they don't exactly know yet that we'll be texting each other on a regular basis and hanging at each other's houses playing Monopoly, but they will soon.

I took my girls to the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert at Staples Center on Wednesday night, and ran into the expectant couple in a hallway. Who knew they were Disney fans? They posed for pictures, signed autographs and chatted with my girls and acted just like normal people, except with better clothes and more money. Joel only looked slightly annoyed when I asked him for their address so we could all come over for a barbecue this weekend.

Okay, I know I haven't always been nice to them here on FameCrawler, making fun of their unborn baby and Nicole's DUI woes, but all that's changed. Now, expect gushing posts from me on Joel's paternal skills or see me come to their defense when my fellow writers make fun of Nicole's thin arms. I heart Nicole and Joel, people. And the only thing standing between me and Nicole's upcoming baby shower? A big beefy bodyguard and a restraining order. BFFs 4 Ever!

UPDATED: Here's the Ticket- Disney's Hannah Montana Star Miley Cyrus Talks Pregnancy

Whit Honea — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:42:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus addressed the rumor of her pregnancy at the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Party. She told Extra, “It’s given me the street cred to say that would be impossible, because I’m living my life the way I believe is right and that is to stay pure.”

When asked if she believed in sex before marriage she said, “No, I don’t at all!”

Guess who has two thumbs and is happy as hell? This guy.

Anyone know where I can get a Hannah Montana ticket? Although I'd rather have the $5000!

UPDATED FOR OUR YOUNGER READERS: Hey Gang, I've noticed in some of your comments that there are a few of you that are misunderstanding Miley's situation. She was never pregnant. It was a huge hoax by some internet magazine that a lot of the media actually fell for. Miley's comments above are regarding that rumor. Her statement is that she would never become pregnant and would never have sex before marriage. She's saying good stuff. Miley hasn't let anyone down, in fact, she's shown what a strong and positive role model she is. - Whit
