Rumor has it that no less than thee different book agents and/or publishers have approached John McCain, offering many millions to get him to share his side of the story. One unnamed publisher is quoted as saying that such a tome “would be the hottest book of the year. Even bigger than Sarah’s book.”
But will McCain actually do it? Only time - and press releases - will tell.

Nicolas Cage Countersued By Business Manager
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Movie star Nicolas Cage recently admitted to having some serious financial troubles, suing his business manager because of his missing funds. But the manager - Samuel Levin, CPA - has filed a countersuit against the actor.
Levin said that Cage “had already squandered tens of millions of dollars,” when he was hired, and that the National Treasure star owed “millions” in “income taxes, with no funds available to pay the tax debt.”
The countersuit claims that Levin told Cage he needed to make at least $30 million per year to continue living in his usual manner. Levin says that in 2007 alone, the actor purchased three homes for the sum of $33 million and twenty-two cars (nine of which were made by Rolls Royce), among other extravagant purchases.

Robert Pattinson Willing to Get Naked for Film
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Rumors,
Listen closely, ladies: Robert Pattinson is willing to get naked on screen for the right role.
The British actor, who plays vampire heartthrob Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies, would consider taking his clothes off if he thought the part required it.
“I think it would depend on what it is. And I don’t think a lot of people would really want to see that. I think it would ruin the illusion!”
Although he would be prepared to strip for a movie, the 23-year-old star admits he finds nudity embarrassing and struggled when he had to shoot explicit scenes for the 2008 movie Little Ashes, in which he played a young Salvador Dali.
“It’s funny because Spanish people have no problem with nudity at all, and I mean at all. And English people obviously do have the most enormous problem with it. Little things, like when I saw my father getting changed for swimming, I was traumatized by it… I kind of freaked out a bit.”
Taylor Lautner Happy to Ditch the Wig
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Hair Styles, Style,
Teenage hunk Taylor Lautner loves having short hair again after being forced to wear a long wig for his new movie.
The 17-year-old actor had to don lengthy tresses for upcoming film New Moon, but was relieved to be told he could ditch it for good in the second half of the sequel: “I would not want that hair. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn’t even recognize myself.”
The star also discovered he was a book worm after reading the novels the movie series is based on. Taylor admits he never really read much before picking up Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga series - and then he was hooked:
“As a matter of fact, I was not a book reader at all. The only books I ever read were the ones I was forced to in school. But when I started reading this book series, I fell in love with the characters and started turning the pages one after another. It was crazy. I never thought I could do that. But I love this story. This franchise has everything in it - romance, action, suspense. It has a dark side to it.”

Lindsay Lohan Throws Bar Tantrum
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drunk, Meltdowns, Rumors,
The outlandish stories continue, sans recorded conversations: recently, Lindsay Lohan allegedly refused to pay two bottles of champagne from a Los Angeles bar.
The troubled actress was reportedly furious when she was given a bill for her drinks at The Crown Bar and stunned onlookers with a tantrum when staff insisted she settled her tab for her evening.
A source revealed, “Lindsay stormed into the kitchen and grabbed two bottles of really expensive champagne. She finished both bottles with a friend. When the bartender gave her a bill, she had a meltdown. She was yelling at him and screaming profanities at everyone. The bar insisted she pay, so she had to call a friend with her credit card information.”
The star eventually left the nightspot at 2.30am, but was still in tears over the incident: “She was crying and wanted to go home. She kept saying ‘I don’t pay for drinks! This is ridiculous! I’m freaking out!’”
Lindsay, who has previously undergone stints in a rehabilitation clinic for alcohol abuse, has caused increasing concern with her recent behavior. Her father Michael Lohan has spoken out, saying he fears she will die if she doesn’t get help for her problems: “I want my daughter off prescription medication. She never needed it in her life… I’m not going to watch my daughter die. Hate me now, but you love me more later because I’m gonna turn her life around.”
Taylor Swift Chooses Scented Candles, Diary Over Dating
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Music, Dating, Rumors,
While she sparkles on the 3D cover of December’s InStyle issue, Taylor Swift squashes some dating rumors on the inside pages.
“I’ve never thought it was a curse to be single, and at this point in my life, I’m in the mind-set where I choose to be single—like I got to light scented candles and write in my diary and I wouldn’t have time for that if I had a boyfriend right now!” the multiple CMA winner said.
Throwing us off her and Taylor Lautner’s scent, eh? Well, considering all the evidence surrounding their clandestine relationship, it’s going to take more than an interview (most likely taken some time ago) to deter the rumors.
As she boasts about loving the single life, Swift didn’t hesitate to gush about working with Lautner: “He and I have gotten really close. It would be confusing on the set with two Taylors in the same scene. They were like, ‘Taylor, on your mark—no, not you, the other one!’ So halfway through the shoot, I said, ‘How about you guys call me Swifty and call him Taylor?’”
Too cute!

Eva Mendes is happy to bare all for a film role and doesn’t mind being hired for her looks.
“I don’t allow myself to be typecast, but when I have to turn up the heat and turn up the sexuality and I do an amazing Calvin Klein campaign it’s very conscious, that’s no accident. It’s very methodical on my part,” The Spirit actress explained. “If I feel it’s appropriate to show some nudity in the scenes then I go for it. As much as I use my sexuality, I have never felt exploited. I feel like it’s on my terms and I have no problem with it.”
The 35-year-old actress insists she wants to continue challenging herself with her work, revealing she still goes to school to boost her acting skills. “I want crazier, edgier, darker, and grittier. I am still a student, I still go to acting class. The darker, more conflicted, the more flawed the better,” Mendes said.

Ashlee Simpson Defends Curvy Jessica
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Rants,
In a recent interview, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz shot back at the media for commenting on her sister’s weight.
“My sister has an incredible body. I feel sorry for anyone who would judge her, because she’s one sexy lady. It’s disgusting that people would say those things.”
Ashlee, who landed the cover of this month’s Women’s Health magazine, also added that she cannot wait to gain the pounds: “There’s gonna be a time when I’m way curvier, and that’ll be sexy too. What defines sexy is not someone’s weight. Personally I like curves. ... I wanna look good [for me]. I wanna feel good.”
The weighty backlash from Ashlee comes shortly after Jessica wrote an angry post on her Twitter regarding her sister’s swift departure from her show Melrose Place.
Those Simpson sisters sure do know how to get each others’ backs.
