Taylor Lautner Sues Trailer Company
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rants, Rumors,
There’s a new he-diva around town: Taylor Lautner is suing a trailer company for “emotional distress.”
The Twilight star planned to buy a customized 2006 Country Coach Recreational Vehicle (RV) for $300,000 to use while filming new movie Abduction but has launched legal action over his “annoyance” that the vehicle wasn’t delivered on time.
The actor filed a lawsuit at Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday against McMahon’s RV after the dealership failed to have the vehicle delivered by the agreed date of June 21. Taylor, 18, has claimed breach of contract and fraud and is demanding unspecified damages from the company.

Quote of the Day: Janice Dickinson on Lady Gaga
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Drugs, Rants,
“As a recovering addict who knows how dangerous occasional use is, I can think of no reason for Gaga to reveal this to her young audience. She is a f**king idiot. The way she mentioned cocaine, I think she should really get spanked. You can damage and hurt kids. I’m appalled.”
- Supermodel-turned-reality star Janice Dickinson weighs in on Lady Gaga‘s Vanity Fair interview where she admitted to occasional cocaine use.

Brad Pitt Wants Death Penalty For Oil Spill Executives
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Rants,
Environmentally-conscious Brad Pitt has hinted the executives responsible for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill deserve the death penalty.
The Inglourious Basterds star speaks out against those behind the oil rig explosion in April - which caused the worst environmental disaster in US history with millions of gallons of oil flooding into the sea - in a new documentary If God is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise.
“I was never for the death penalty before - I am willing to look at it again,” Brad said of the people responsible for the disaster.
The oil spill, which happened after an explosion on the BP operated Deepwater Horizon rig, resulted in the decimation of wildlife and habitat of marine and coastal animals, as well as loss of livelihood for many fishermen and other people who depend of the area for work. As yet the root cause of the disaster remains unconfirmed.
Brad’s comments are at the end of the documentary, filmed by Spike Lee, about the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the city of New Orleans, Louisiana - the closest major US city to the Deepwater rig - five years after the hurricane devastated the city, leaving 80 per cent of it waterlogged. Brad spearheaded the Make it Right project after the natural disaster, which built 150 affordable and sustainable homes in one of the areas of New Orleans that was worst hit.

Courtney Love Twitter-Scolds Daughter Frances Bean
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Rants, Rivalries,
Rocker Courtney Love is best-known, these days, for ranting via social media, Twitter and Facebook most often. Love released a new rant directed toward her daughter Frances Bean Cobain on Thursday, just one day after Frances’ eighteenth birthday.
The various posts (and there are several) accuse Frances of destroying Courtney’s life. One reads: “youve done a damned good job frances of destroying anything i could build.” Another: “Why would you leave me and my life in tatters like this.”
Moment later, Love abruptly changed tactics with this: “I long for your kiss and your sweet head smell, I long for youm I ache for youm I die for you every day.”
Courtney Love lost guardianship of Frances less than one year ago. The two have been engaged in public warfare ever since. France Bean Cobain is the only daughter of Courtney Love and the late music icon Kurt Cobain.

Kristen Stewart Not Ambitious to Be Angelina Jolie
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Style, Rants,
Kristen Stewart doesn’t want to be the next Angelina Jolie.
The 20-year-old respects Angelina’s acting talents and commitment to humanitarian work, but she would not want to trade places with her.
“I don’t want to be Angelina Jolie. Not that Angelina Jolie isn’t the most talented, beautiful, successful, amazing, admirable person who does good things for the world, but I don’t want to be a movie star like that.”
Despite being in one of the biggest films of the moment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Kristen doesn’t enjoy being in the limelight.
“I don’t think there’s anything about being a celebrity that’s desirable. I understand, though, that everybody’s going to know who you are and what you look like, but why be so obsessive? People are in love with you and they don’t even know you. It can be isolating.”

Robert Pattinson Defends Kristen Stewart Rape Comment
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Rants,
Although she’s since offered an apology for comparing paparazzi to rapists, Kristen Stewart is still prodded for her choice in words. In a recent interview, however, she had her dashing vampire
co-star Robert Pattinson come to her defense. And boy did he have a lot he wanted to get off his chest:
“None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon by the media first — who were doing it specifically to get hits on their websites. That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone. All they need is to get a salacious headline and people click on it, because it’s easy. And it’s quite good being part of these Twilight films because you have to give so many interviews all the time, you can defend yourself. That’s the only way. All of us stick together, as well. There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs.”
After his tirade, Stewart pointed out how Pattinson could easily say anything and get away with it: “You’re really good, but you could say, ‘I just took a s***on the Queen’s face,’ and people would be like, ‘Oh, I love him! I love him!’”
The complete interview in EW hits newsstands this Friday.

Amanda Bynes Announces Retirement at 24 Via Twitter
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: D-List, Movies, Child Stars, Rants, Where Are They Now?,
Ever wonder where Nickelodeon star-turned-movie star Amanda Bynes has been? Yeah okay, me neither, which could be part of the reason as to why the 24-year-old has called it quits when it comes to acting.
The Sydney White star took to her Twitter page in wee hours of Saturday morning to let her fans face the bad news first:
“I don’t love acting anymore so I’ve stopped doing it… Being an actress isn’t as fun as it may seem. I’ve never written the movies & tv shows I’ve been apart of, I’ve only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play… I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I’ve retired.”
While I’m by no means begging Bynes to return to movies, no one was stopping her from writing films and television shows… Sounds like someone has a case of ingratitude!
Or maybe it’s smart marketing: with her last film, Easy A, due out this fall, perhaps this is merely a ploy to lure her fans into the theater. Will you miss seeing Amanda on the big and small screens?

“I have had so many people say, ‘Why don’t you just play the part? Just like, go smile, talk about whatever they want you to talk about.’ It’s like, ‘I do, I really try to do that.’ I guess I should get a face transplant or something … But it’s gotten weird. I’ve like, relinquished control.”

Lindsay Lohan Drives Assistant to Quit
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Parties, Rants, Rumors,
Looking for a job? Lindsay Lohan‘s assistant has quit.
Elinore left the position, which she held for just a few months, after deciding she couldn’t cope any longer with the
actress’ “24/7 demands” and erratic behavior.
“Lindsay met Elinore through a mutual friend and she began spending more and more time at Lindsay’s apartment. She was still paying rent on her own place but essentially was living at Lindsay’s. After a few months, Lindsay’s up and down moods and her 24/7 demands just got to be too much. Lindsay can be really bossy and mean when she doesn’t get her own way and Elinore wasn’t even getting paid some of the time,” a source revealed.
Friends of the assistant had been encouraging her to leave for some time because they knew she wasn’t happy working for the 23-year-old star: “Elinore’s friends were telling her to quit months ago. Even the person who introduced her to Lindsay was like, ‘Look, this is too much for you. You need to get out while you still can. But in the end, Lindsay’s demands became too much for her. She couldn’t take it anymore and she finally had to quit.”
