Jon & Kate - Listen Up, This Is For You

trix — Wed, 27 May 2009 18:31:00 GMT

Jon & Kate Gosselin are fighting mad and not just at each other.

The couple is tired of, and mad at, the paparazzi that constantly hang out in front of their house and follow them around trying to take pictures of them and the kids. They insist that they didn't sign up for that part of being a celebrity.

Au Contraire, Mon Frère.

You signed up for the big time as soon as you said, Yes, I will take all those freebies, thank you very much.

You become a reality celebrity and everyone wants to know everything about you. They want to know whether you deserve all the great things you are getting and why you? Why do you get these things instead of them?

Once people find out that you both came from wealthy backgrounds, then it was on. You were using the system and abusing their trust. Of course people are going to hound you with cameras, they want to see you fail. They want to justify it in their minds that you really didn't deserve it and that you conned everyone.

So quit your whining Jon & Kate, think of your kids and the pain this will cause them as they get older. Is it so hard to be nice to each other and remind yourselves why you fell in love?

Pull up those bootstraps and get to work, because you have a long row to hoe if you are going to make it work.

Jamie Foxx is Okay After Fight With Stalker

trix — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:02:00 GMT

What's up with Hollywood stalkers lately? They can't just sit by and innocently stalk anymore, they feel the need to attack?

First it was Shawn Johnson and now it's Jamie Foxx.

Jamie Foxx actually fought his stalker in his hotel room. The unknown male tried to break into his room, at least three times. The guy also claimed to be Beyonce's producer and Jamie had to physically fight with the guy to get him out of his room.

Thank goodness his kids weren't with him. That would be so traumatizing for them and Jamie might have had to take further action to protect his kids.

He did say that though he can't talk about it, he is fine and is glad that it's over.

Me too... How stressful and scary.

Nadya Suleman and the Octuplets - Their Story

Whit Honea — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:04:00 GMT

First of all, yes, we're famous. Our very own Sassy Smith and her story on Nadya Suleman's alleged obsession with Angelina Jolie was plastered all over "NBC Dateline" last night. You can tell your friends you know us.

The fact that NBC was able to narrow it down is pretty impressive seeing as we have more stories about Suleman than on Britney and Obama combined -- although a story on Britney and Obama combined would be a sure hit. We have so many Octuplet posts that we decided to put them all in one place for your convience. We're famous, but we haven't forgotten you.

Here is the story of the octuplets and their mom (in chronologicalish order):

Oh to be a Hot Young Thing, Again

trix — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 16:32:00 GMT

One of the pitfalls of growing up in front of the camera is that the media sometime says things that are sooo inappropriate.

Jamie Foxx knows this from first hand experience. He and his daughter were leaving a restaurant and the press confused his 14 year old daughter with a new, hot young thing.

He has become overprotective of her because of the men ogling her on the street.

He also says that she won't be dating until forever.

Ah isn't that sweet. Yet another father that won't exploit his daughter, it's so refreshing.

Angelina Jolie Makes The World A Better Place

trix — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:49:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie recently took a secret trip to Afghanistan where she furthered her role as a Goodwill Ambassador. She takes her role very seriously and has taken steps to insure that the refugee children get the help they need.
Actress Angelina Jolie and a team of 25 powerful law firms are joining forces against the government's attempt to deport thousands of unaccompanied and illegal immigrant children - including hundreds from New York City. Backed by Microsoft Corp., Kids in Need of Defense will provide free legal representation to children separated from their parents. The group will open offices in New York and other several other cities... "These children often have nothing - no money, no support and no family," Jolie said in a statement. "Many end up becoming lost, traumatized, and ultimately forgotten."
"Over the past seven years, I've worked with UNHCR and I've traveled around the world trying to bring attention to refugees," she said. "It's been a remarkable education."

Jolie, who has visited dozens of war-torn countries around the world, spoke passionately on behalf of the victims she's met. "I've seen refugees return to live among the same people who attacked them," she said. "They are returning to the same lawlessness that sent them running in the first place. I've seen aid workers tear up as they put ladies on a bus and say, 'I don't know what we're sending them back to...
"I don't know if the ICC is the answer. And I don't know what type of court is, or what it would need to be to make all of us agree and make it strong enough," Jolie admitted. "But I do know this: No mother who had her children killed in front of her, no young girl sold into slavery, no boy kidnapped and forced to be a child soldier and no young girl like the 3-year-old I met in Sierra Leone, who had her limbs cut off, should be expected to simply forget. No one should have to choose between peace and justice."

Those are powerful words and we can hope that this team of lawyers can make a difference in the lives of these women and children. It will be a great thing to make sure these victims see justice.

'Joe The Plumber' Doesn't Understand The Media

trix — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:01:00 GMT

Joe Wurzelbacher is mad. So mad in fact, that he is striking out at the media for jumping feet first into his personal life and finances.
"The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes, they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America," Wurzelbacher told the former Republican presidential hopeful on his show, "Huckabee."

What did he think was going to happen? Did he not see what happened to Sarah Palin? She was completely vetted by the gossip magazines so be prepared, it will only get worse before it gets better.

Sarah Palin Wants To Be On SNL?

trix — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:27:00 GMT

Sarah Palin and the McCain staff are trying to figure out how to respond to the spot-on impersonation done by Tina Fey on SNL the last three weeks.
Do you think that she should respond at all?
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that a Palinesque tweak to Tina Fey's American Express commercials may be in the works.
Sarah Palin may also appear on NBC's "Weekend Update" as early as Thursday night.

I can't wait to see what the next SNL Palin skit will be. They have been pretty funny thus far.

Sarah Palin's Daughter Caught Doing Drugs On Tape

trix — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:14:00 GMT

Heavens to murgatroid, will it ever stop?

The Enquirer has done some digging and says that it came up with a video of Bristol Palin smoking pot on camera. It also had a source who like any true source would, spilled the beans regarding Levi's, cocaine buying, smoking Oxycontin off of aluminum foil, habits.

They have such great parents!

The video of Bristol is from 2 years ago when she was 15, and reportedly was giggling like crazy after taking hits. The video is also being labeled as a regular night out for Bristol and her friends.

The pictures are a couple of years old as well of girls who are supposed to be friends with Bristol. It's supposedly a picture of Bristol, but as a commenter said it doesn't look like her. More like her and Levi's friends.

They're doing the Miley Pose.

Did Bristol and Levi Have A Shot Gun Wedding?

trix — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:16:00 GMT

Bristol and Levi may have tied the knot recently. That is, according to a Facebook page that has Bristol's name and picture on it. The couple got hitched and she, like any forward thinking woman may or may not do, hyphenated his name.

Do you really think that she would have used that picture, out of all pictures available? I'm thinking no. I think that the couple will be getting married soon but that it will be a minute or two before they do. Sarah Palin has a lot going on and needs to get a couple things done and over with before she can give her attention fully to being the interferring mother of the bride.

Sarah Palin is the Lipstick: Obama on Letterman

Straight from the horse's mouth, which is Obama, we have the truth on Lipstickgate 2008! The failed policies are the pig and Sarah Palin is the lipstick. Oh, got it.

Also, in When Harry Met Sally, Sally is the dog in the scenerio. Wow, it's like a zoo in here. A small, stinky petting zoo, but a zoo nonetheless.

Here's a video(s) of Barack Obama and David Letterman chatting about pigs and politics:

Palin's First Baby Daddy Levi Johnston to Attend Republican National Convention

Whit Honea — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:24:00 GMT

Poor Levi Johnston. All the kid wanted was to be held and now he's being paraded in front of Alaska and America, respectively, as the official mascot of teen sex (unfunded teen sex, of course). Actually, he's probably loving every minute of it. Teen boys work hard for reps like that.

His plans have changed quite a bit. Normally he'd spend a Wednesday night hanging around the motherland (Alaska) waiting for the mullet to fill in, but not tonight! Levi will be joining his pregnant girlfriend and her family on the big, fancy stage that is St. Paul, Minnesota (not to be confused with the big, fancy stage that is Minneapolis, Minnesota) . He will get to experience first hand the magic made when two bodies that love each other, in this case Alaska and America (hey, which country comes first?), join together for a night and just let their emotion get the best of them. If it wasn't so political it would almost be romantic.

Speaking of romantic, Levi's mother has been quoted as saying that the couple had planned on getting married prior to the pregnancy. Regarding the new addition Sherry Johnston said, "'This is just a bonus." An unfunded bonus. In the country of Alaska. That has Hallmark channel written all over it.

I wonder if they'll get David Brickner to officiate the ceremony. Now that would be a bonus.

All of that being what it is, the real reason I feel sorry for Levi and Bristol is that their 2 minutes in heaven is going to cause them years, maybe a lifetime, of unwanted attention- much of which can be directly attributed to Sarah Palin throwing them to the lions, and to a lesser extent the fact that they had sex. Tonight they'll be fed to the media and let's face it, they aren't as nice as I am.

Vetting Sarah Palin: Like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but Funnier: UPDATED!!

Whit Honea — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:01:00 GMT

There is some speculation in the media, by which I mean the real media- that being people with neckties and make-up artists, not unshaven bloggers in their underwear (and some men, too) that John McCain's team dropped the ball regarding the vetting[1] process of Sarah Palin.

We're inclined to agree.

That's why we here at FameCrawler, home of all things fameish and crawlesque have decided to help you, the voter. We've done some pretty extensive ~~drinking~~ vetting ourselves over the weekend (McCain, you owe us a house each) and have some interesting information on Mrs. Palin, some of which is actually true!

Here is a list of the items we uncovered without ever stepping foot in Alaska (not that there is anything wrong with that):

[1] From Wikipedia:

Vetting is a process of examination and evaluation. Specifically, vetting often refers to performing a background check on someone before offering them employment. In addition, in intelligence gathering, assets are vetted to determine their usefulness.

In the United States, a party's presidential nominee must choose a vice-presidential candidate to accompany him or her on the ticket. Prospective vice-presidential candidates must undergo thorough evaluation by a team of advisers acting on behalf of the nominee. In later stages of the vetting process, the team will examine such items as a prospective vice-presidential candidate's finances, personal conduct, and previous coverage in the media.

To vet was originally a horse-racing term, referring to the requirement that a horse be checked for health and soundness by a veterinarian before being allowed to race. Thus, it has taken the general meaning "to check."

More Trouble For Sarah Palin- Photos!!!

trix — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 21:24:00 GMT

Oh dear, when is it all going to end.? Bristol Palin is starting to look like she's going to be the bane of her mothers existence, or at least her campaign for VP.

Some new pictures have surfaced of Bristol who is only 17 partaking in, oh my don't say it, underage drinking. She's actually not drinking in the photos, but posing with alcohol bottles. The beer is open though, so who's to say whether she was or wasn't drinking it. There are also some shots of her with guns and Levi Johnston, the father of her unborn child. That is if she's even really pregnant.

Now, in Alaska a child can consume alcohol if it is given to her by her parents so...just saying...

I'll be honest my parents allowed my sister and I to taste their adult beverages, but to let us consume whole ones by ourselves, not so much.

The Original Palin Post: John McCain Picks Sarah Palin as VP

Whit Honea — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:49:00 GMT

When I first ran this story about Sarah Palin being picked as the Vice Presidential nominee by John McCain there weren't very many sites, if any, that had it. I took it straight from my car radio as I dropped my son off at school. I had no idea that a monster was being created- on FameCrawler, not my son. Keep reading through the weekend and enjoy the birth of a superstar.

John McCain has all but confirmed that his choice for running mate is Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin.

All major news outlets are running with the story but still await official word from John McCain himself.

According to NPR, when asked yesterday about who his pick would be McCain mumbled, "Wilfred Brimley." Yes, the oats guy.

Sarah Palin has 5 children.

This is the second time that a major ticket has picked a woman has their vice presidential candidate, having been done by the Democrats in 1984.

Rosanne Says I'm Sorry

trix — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:08:00 GMT

Rosanne sat at her keyboard to write a kind of back handed, half-assed apology to the Brangelina clan for her statements that the Brangelina Clan is EVIL.

In a post on her blog yesterday evening she wrote, “[I] do not mean to personally impugn them as they might be good people in the flesh, but the media’s images of them are smelly and vile, and I must always attack the media’s representation of what is good or cool.”

She also attacked the media and gossip rags by saying, "those who inhabit the media world of glamour and entertainment and fashion and gossip are horrid people who have no talent of any kind, and yet think of themselves as tastemakers."

She also attacks many other people on her blog besides Angelina and Brad Pitt, she attacks John McCain, Maureen Dowd, the democratic party, howard dean, pumas, obama, hillary, bush cheney, pelosi, congress, religion capitalism and satan, so she's pretty much an all around hater.

I doubt Angelina took it to heart because as you know she is exhausted and probably hasn't even seen nor heard any of the hue and cry that Rosanne's blogments (blog statements) have created.

Lara Logan Bags Dad in Baghdad

Whit Honea — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:34:00 GMT

Emmy winner and ex-CNN correspondent Lara Logan was recently promoted to CBS' chief foreign affairs correspondent. Her career seems pretty solid. Her love life is more like a soap.

She is in the process of a divorce from her estranged husband Jason Siemon. She broke-up with CNN correspondent Michael Ware in November and started dating a married federal contractor named Joseph Burkett she met in Iraq.

Burkett is in the process of getting a divorce from his wife Kimberly. They have a 3-year-old daughter.

Logan is pregnant with Burkett's baby, due in January. She says that she and Brukett plan to marry and that she's "looking forward to being a mom."

Yes, this is getting more attention than the war she is covering. Something, somewhere, ain't right.

Muslims Protest Jolie-Pitt Twins?

Whit Honea — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:24:00 GMT

There is a clip here where the media, or Access Hollywood anyway, is trying to spin a Muslim protest outside of the Nice hospital as being related to the birth of the twins. I'm guessing the people in this video have more pressing issues than some celebrity babies. I hope.

What is interesting is that Dr. Sussman says it only took 30 minutes to deliver the twins via C-section. Magic hands, that guy.

Michelle & Matilda Driven From Their NY Home?

Sassy Smith — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:03:00 GMT

Michelle Williams and Matilda Rose have reportedly been hounded so much by the paparazzi, that the mother and daughter are being driven from their home in Brooklyn, NY.

Fox News is claiming that the former fiance of the late Heath Ledger is constantly bombarded by the paparazzi and has not been able to live her life in peace with daughter Matilda, 2 1/2. The actress is considering leaving her NY neighborhood.

When Williams and Ledger were together, they were known as "pillars" of their Brooklyn community. Ledger eventually moved out and returned to Manhattan. He passed away in January of this year.

Hopefully, if Brooklyn is where Michelle's heart is, and where she wants to continue to raise Matilda, the paps will back off and let them peacefully exist and live a "normal" life.

Miley Cyrus' Parents are to Blame: The World According to Jamie Lee Curtis

Whit Honea — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:49:00 GMT

Jamie Lee Curtis knows a thing or two about posing topless. Of course the uproar over her doing so was that it was for the cover of the AARP magazine, and apparently she's too old for such frivolity. Miley Cyrus, at 15, posed pseudo-topless for Vanity Fair. She's too young.

Americans like our topless models in the 18 - 40 range.

Jamie Lee Curtis is laying the blame on Miley's parents. That isn't to say that Annie Leibovitz didn't go a bit far in her attempt at art, and yes, Miley should have realized that her posing for the pictures in question would cause her career some unwanted criticism. They deserve their share of the responsibility.

People are also bitching about Disney to the point that they felt the need to comment. Disney has nothing to do with it. That's like Nerve Media being blamed for me posing for those awkward photos last weekend. Hey, I needed the money. I didn't call Nerve to okay it, and Disney didn't have any say in Miley's spread.

But I digress. Here's what Jamie Lee Curtis wrote in The Huffington Post:

I woke up this morning concerned about the world food shortage and Korean defectors attempting self immolation in protest of Beijing and was astonished at the amount of attention a young woman named Miley Cyrus was getting for a topless, or shall I say backless, photograph in Vanity Fair.

Just to connect the dots, I too have weathered a recent bout of hysteria over a supposed topless, or shall I say strapless, photograph in a magazine. In my case it was an understanding that the photo in question be shoulders up regardless if I was wearing a suit of armor, chastity belt, wet suit, strapless bra or nothing. It is, was and will always be irrelevant and only became an issue when it was publicized as "topless". All the nipple loving/leering people wanted to know...was it true? Kids I know asked their parents and me if I had posed topless. Saturday Night Live in a funny parody alluded to it as well as the efficacy of Activia yogurt and we all had a good laugh and it sold magazines and it is/was over. Now this. (Video Below)

Apparently young Ms. Cyrus has apologized for something she was told would be artistic and now feels embarrassed about. I feel for her. Of course she is embarrassed. She is a young girl. She shouldn't have to deal with any of this. I don't feel that she was duped. I know the integrity of Ms. Liebovitz and the magazine and I know there were people present at the shoot that should have been looking out to make sure that this didn't happen. In the offending photo she looks tousled and soft and vulnerable and yes...even sexy. She is fifteen after all, and the word sex is starting to come up. I seem to remember a fourteen/fifteen year old Brooke Shields commenting that nothing came between her and her Calvins. There would be no problem if Ms. Cyrus doesn't represent something that is counterintuitive to that image.

In the article in the New York Times Business Section, a Disney executive is quoted, saying "For Miley Cyrus to be a 'good girl' is now a business decision for her. Parents have invested in her godliness. If she violates that trust, she won't get it back." In the world of constant scrutiny how can a young person not violate this and develop a mind, body and spirit of their own? Look at the '50s and the idols of that time. Many gay men with beards...sham marriages. Young stars trying out their sexuality secretly. My own mother (pre-show business) was married at 14 to be able to explore her own passions.

Today's generation of performers have had to navigate the treacherous shoals of adolescence in full frontal viewberty [sic] of the peering voyeurism of the media and it's voyeuristic participants. We have watched them as they stumble out of the safety of childhood, not that being a professional actor as a child is safe, but that is another blog, into the glare of celebrity, rehab, prison, teen pregnancy and now this, a backless shot of a young girl. It was called "artistic'. If we keep a young person's natural sexuality in check during their performing years what happens to it? It has to come out. Daniel Radcliffe is starring in Equus which includes nudity and parodied his natural urges (hilariously) on Ricky Gervais' EXTRAS. He has had to carry the weight and morals of Harry Potter and Warner Brothers and can now, as Harry has grown up and the series is nearing its end, tread lightly into adult fare and explore his art.

When these young people get all dressed up for award show red-carpet events don't we all comment how beautiful, stunning and grown-up they look in their strapless/backless dresses and heels and tousled hair? None of this is new. None of this should be news. But it is news because it is a business. It is all Business. It is called Show Business. Show Abyss-ness! I call it Show-OFF Business. You throw a child into the jaws of a business and they will get eaten.

I know how Miley feels. I too was a little embarrassed by my recent topless "scandal" and the subsequent parodies, but I am an adult woman. I protected myself during the shoot and I can take the heat. I only wish that her guardians had protected her.

Michelle Williams "Haunted by Heath Ledger's Ghost"

Sassy Smith — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:04:00 GMT

Actress Michelle Williams, former fiance of the late Heath Ledger says she's haunted by his ghost.

Heath, 28, died in his SoHo apartment, of an accidental overdose in January, and Michelle has told friends that she's been visited twice by his ghost - appearing as a "shadowy apparition."

The first time it happened, she was awoken at night, claiming to hear furniture being moved. The second time - she said Ledger apologized to her for not being there to help her raise their 2 1/2 year old daughter Matilda Rose.

Michelle has said that the "hauntings" have helped her grieve.

This gives me chills - I'm not sure if I'd be freaked or comforted.
