Zac Efron is my hero.

Trust me, I never, never, EVER thought I’d write those words.  But when I sit down and think about it…its true.  He quite possibly is my favorite person on the face of the earth.

Why?

He dates Vannesa Anne Hudgens. She looks good.  She’s like 21 now, I think? So hopefully this guy won’t show up when I say that.  Two years ago, she decided to take, ahem…”risque” pictures of herself, for Efron.  Of course, they ended up on the internet.  The Disney PR headache ensued, due to the fact that Hudgens was in the process of filming the High School Musical movies (apparently Disney isn’t down with the young starlets being naked…who knew?).  Of course for Hudgens, the move did nothing but create a slew of publicity and got her a deal with Mark Ecko and his Ecko brand.  That brought us commercials like this.

I don’t know how Mark Ecko is still able to sell clothes either…cause that sucked…Hudgens also signed a contract with Neutrogena after the nude picture scandal, which really made me start to wonder why more actresses don’t do nude photo shoots when they’re trying to leave Disney; they get publicity, get out of the Disney spotlight and apparently get new deals.  Hard to beat that.  All of this is being said to get to this point…

Vanessa Anne Hudgens took naked pictures again.

That’s right, Vanessa Anne Hudgens is naked. Again. on a camera phone. Maybe Ecko Red sales are down, or maybe the Neutrogena Scrub Brush thingy isn’t selling as good as they want?  Maybe she wanted to make sure that Disney didn’t even bother calling her for High School Musical 4? Or maybe she has Zac Efron as her boyfriend and she’s doggedly determined to make him happy (couldn’t she just make him some pie?).  Did I mention he’s my hero?  Some pictures below. If you want the NSFW pictures go somewhere else (hint: try Egotastic)

P.S. I love this post cause now I seem like one of those guys who scowls the internet looking for naked celebrities.  I’d like to think that naked celebrities just come looking for me.  I mean, when its plastered on the front of any celebrity entertainment site I go to…its like a sexy dare…right?

Update: Apparently the pictures are old. and she may have been under 18 when they were taken…I can already see Chris Hansen setting up a sting operation in his head.

P.S. apparently thumbnails hate me. click on the box and the picture is there though.

Had Enough Heidi?

August 5, 2009

Heidi Pratt

If you are like me, you pray daily that you never have to see Heidi Montag (Pratt) or Spencer Pratt, infamously dubbed Speidi, again for the rest of your life.  I thought I had a chance; I don’t watch the Hills, but was I ever wrong.  First came the stories about their alleged marriage and later came the disaster that was I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. I have had more than enough of both of them to last three lifetimes.

But now I, and you , will have to endure even more or Heidi.  In very Paris-Hilton-like fashion, Heidi is set to release a solo album, Independent (or Unleashed, based on who you talk to) ,  in September of this year.  To make matters worse, she is scheduled to perform her first single Turn Ya Head at the Ms. Universe Pageant.  Seriously, we have to hear her sing now too? People who are famous for doing nothing should stick to doing what they know best.

Man…I sure am glad I’m not a celebrity.  Its like people look for you and take pictures when you’re just trying to play a friendly game of basketball in a bikini with your boyfriend…right Jennifer Love Hewitt?

Staged? Don’t you dare even think like that!

p.s. apparently the thumbnails have decided to waive “bye-bye”.  But clicking on the boxes still brings up the images.

Scarlett Johansson

Hollywood legend Robert Redford has a new biography scheduled to come out (written by Michael Feeney Callan ) November of this year.  Ok you say, so what does that have to do with Scarlett Johansson? You would like to think nothing, but not so fast.  Redford talks in this book about many of his directing and acting experiences through the years including his time spent working on The Horse Whisperer (1998); the tale of a girl (and a horse) who is injured in an accident and the mystical man who come to help them both.  In the movie Scar-Jo plays the troubled,  vulnerable girl in need of Redford’s help.  Real life on the set with young Scarlett was the complete opposite.  It’s reported(E! News)  that Redford thought her and her vision (yes 13 year old actresses apparently have visions for their roles) hard to direct.  Her mother was said to be “overbearing”  and the 13 year old’s back talking caused friction on set.

She and her mom must have been pretty terrible to make the book.  I mean seriously, Robert Redford has starred in a zillion movies, directed  a zillion more, and founded the Sundance film festival; he is totally a Hollywood god.  Scarlett  must have really been a pain for him to even remember her name.  Hopefully she’s grown out of it…

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

-Darth Vader

It is official…New Orleans Saints star RB Reggie Bush and (insert reason why you think she’s famous here) Kim Kardashian have broken up.  More news via…the Associated Press. What? is there not enough regular news going on in the world that the AP is reporting this?

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush are splitsville. Kardashian’s spokewoman, Jill Fritzo, confirmed the longtime couple has called it quits. Fritzo declined further comment. The 28-year-old reality star dated the 24-year-old New Orleans Saints running back for some two years.

She recently discussed the difficulties of having a long-distance relationship on her E! reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” Kardashian co-stars with her family on the hit series, which ended its third season in May.

Last November, Kardashian said she and Bush were “dedicated” and tried to see each other often. She said, “When you’re committed to something and really want something, you make it work.”

Two years. Longer than I thought.  Personally, I can’t look at Kim Kardashian without thinking of this guy and saying “You ruins it!” (shout out to Gollum from Lord of the Rings!) over and over again.  Now, I’m sure everyone has a past, but when your past is recorded on video, and the whole world has seen it, and other celebrities comment on how much they like it?  I’m guessing its kinda hard to build a long term relationship off of that.

Below, the couple in happier times.  Pour some out at your own leisure.

Associated Press – Publicist: Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush break up


Reunited and it feels so good.

One thing I always question are peoples pain thresholds. I mean, everyone is different, right?  Like, for example, if someone took the time to do this (courtesy of TMZ.com) to me, I’d probably make it a point to stay away from them.  But then again, I obviously don’t have as big a heart as Rihanna.  The New York Post reports,

Just days after Chris Brown publicly apologized for his February beating of then-girlfriend Rihanna, the two spent the weekend at the same luxury Midtown hotel under a cloak of secrecy, The Post has learned.

The pretty “Umbrella” singer and “Run It” crooner — who is barred from seeing his former squeeze by a restraining order issued in Los Angeles — checked into separate rooms at the Trump International Hotel & Tower on Friday, hotel sources said.

They spent the next two days coming and going in separate chauffeured vehicles from the underground garage of the 52-story Columbus Circle building.

Neither Brown nor Rihanna had any public appearances or events to otherwise bring them to Manhattan, although London’s Daily Mail reported that Rihanna is shopping for a Big Apple pad.

Nice. Just in case someone forgets, Rihanna can’t give her consent to nullify the restraining order placed on Brown.  Its like one of those things courts do to protect crazy people from themselves.  Oh…right.

Ike & Tina 2.0…you can’t stop it people. Even if you want to.


What’s the quickest way to ruin the currently awesome series of Batman movies?

adding new “bat-friends”?

Yeah. Now, lets kick it up a notch (c) Emeril

Miley Cyrus…as bat girl.

More completely soul crushing information from Celebuzz,

Holy bizarre casting concepts, Batman!

According to reports, Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus is lobbying for the role of Batgirl in the upcoming sequel to the Batman movie The Dark Knight. Cyrus is apparently so interested in landing the part that she recently “stunned” producers at Warner Bros. to audition for the part in a full-on batsuit!

“She was sort of hopping around the room and had even written some dialogue for herself,” claims a source. “The problem is, some people aren’t really convinced Miley has the acting chops to pull it of.”

Hmm; maybe more than some people.

The likeliness of this happening has to be slim to none…I hope.  Bale and Nolan wouldn’t ruin Batman by adding Robin, so why add Batgirl? and then why make her Miley Cyrus?

…please stay in the fantasies of 40 year old men (and Lil Wayne), and not on the screen in Batman movies, mmkay?  Thanks.

Solange Sheers It off

July 23, 2009

Solange Knowles

I may be biased since I’m still feenin for Zhane, but Solange looks terrific.

I think, at this point, there is little this young woman can do that I won’t like.  She’s dope!

Go cop her record, folks.

gwyneth-paltrow-picture-1

As everyone has to know by now, Iron Man II is currently in post-production with a planned release date of May 7, 2010.  The cast has been shaken up a bit; Don Cheadle is taking over the role of Col. James “Rhodey” Rhodes (War Machine) played in the last film by Terrence Howard,  the comeback kid, Mickey Rourke, will take on the role of Ivan Vanko (Whiplash), and last but certainly not least  Miss Scarlett Johansson will be playing Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow).  To the untrained eye these may look like great additions overall, but not so fast…

Can the movie handle having two hot leading lady on set? What is poor Pepper Potts to do? Celeb TV reported that Gwyneth Paltrow is not happy and just might boycott some of the planned publicity (including this week’s Comic-con) for Iron Man II.   I’m sure Gwyneth feels a bit threatened by the addition of the busty twenty-five year old to the franchise and this week’s cover of Entertainment Weekly with Scarlett shown front and center with the boys likely made matters worse. It’s like high school over again, the popular, all American girl, cheerleader just doesn’t know what to do when the slutty new girl transfers in and steals all of her limelight.  Come on Gwyneth, your almost 37 (ancient in dog and or female Hollywood years, unless you’re Helen Mirren of course); let’s stop the hatin’ and just be happy you’re still in A list movies.
