Kanye West apparently tried to pitch a Muppet comedy show called Alligator Boots to Comedy Central.
He talked Kim Kardashian into appearing in the pilot wearing Princess Leia’s bikini from Return of the Jedi.
A crazy behind the scenes look at the show has surfaced revealing a fun and twisted little show!
In the clip that leaked online, Kardashian’s Leia character tells West: “Remember that bear? The one who wanted to [do dirty things with me]? Well, I’m gonna go let him.”
Off-stage, Kardashian laughed about her role. “It’s nothing new,” she quipped. “I play with puppets all the time at home!”
Brad Pitt thinks his marriage to Jennifer Anistonwas fake, it was “something that it wasn’t”.
The ‘Moneyball’ actor – who was married to former ‘Friends’ star Jennifer from 2000 to 2005 – thinks his life before his relationship with Angelina Jolie started to feel “pathetic” because he spent a lot of time smoking marijuana and “hiding”.
He said: “I spent the ’90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
[editors note: another confirmation that he smokes pot]
Did Jennifer smoke pot with you, Brad?
There’s more! He’s living a much happier life with Angelina and their six children – Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
He said: “One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh man, I’m so happy to have her.”
While at the Toronto film festival, along with director Joel Schumacher promoting the film about a home invasion, Nicolas Cage said that he has actually lived through the nightmare in real life.
“It was two in the morning. I was living in Orange County at the time and was asleep with my wife. My two-year old at the time was in another room. I opened my eyes and there was a naked man wearing my leather jacket eating a Fudgesicle in front of my bed,” he told reporters on Wednesday.
“I know it sounds funny … but it was horrifying.”
A Fudgesicle is a frozen, ice cream-like snack.
Cage said the ordeal ended after he talked the man out of the house and police arrived. He did not press charges, as the man had mental problems, but Cage, who now lives in Nassau, Bahamas, said he could not stay in the house after that.
In “Trespass,” which is scheduled for release in October, thieves con their way into the opulent mansion where Cage’s character lives with his unhappy wife (played by Nicole Kidman) and their daughter.
The family is held for ransom and the movie follows a path of twists and turns as negotiations with the intruders ensue.
Schumacher, who earlier cast Cage in his film “8MM,” and Kidman in “Batman Forever,” said “Trespass” is also about extremes between the rich and the poor in America.
“It’s a class warfare movie too, about the haves and the have-nots.”
The diamond-dealing Cage character and one of the invaders are two versions of the same man, in that they have both “overreached to have their share of what used to be called ‘The American Dream,’” Schumacher said.
Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz have split again — and sources say this time it looks like it’s over for good. Sources say the couple broke up after the Yankee slugger looked for ways to wiggle out of the romance.
“For weeks he’s been trying to get out of the relationship,” said one source, adding that Rodriguez has been telling people it’s over — “But she has been in denial about it.”
Diaz and Rodriguez had been together on and off since 2009, and they spent quality time, usually with workouts at the gym, in New York and Miami.
The Yankee slugger is currently in Seattle with his team, and Diaz, 38, has been shooting What to Expect When You’re Expecting in Atlanta. They were last together over Labor Day weekend in New York and, prior to that, spotted celebrating his birthday in Miami Beach.
Diaz also spent time with A-Rod’s children from his marriage to ex-wife, Cynthia.
Hours after the White House party crasher’s husband made a public plea for help in finding his wife, whom he believed had been kidnapped Tuesday, Virginia’s Warren County Sheriff’s Office released a statement saying authorities had spoken with Michaele Salahi and she was “fine” and “where she wanted to be.”
According to the statement, Tareq Salahi contacted authorities at 11:55 p.m. Tuesday after Michaele Salahi called him from an Oregon area code and proceeded to stay out of touch for six hours.
“Deputy Mike Glavis subsequently spoke with Mrs. Salahi by telephone a few moments later,” the sheriff’s office said in its statement. “Deputy Glavis was able to identify Mrs. Salahi by having previous conversations with her in the past. She seemed calm, was engaged in conversation, and assured the deputy that she had left the residence with a good friend and was where she wanted to be. Mrs. Salahi advised that she did not want Mr. Salahi to know where she was. Mrs. Salahi advised Deputy Glavis that she was very sorry that the Sheriff’s Office had to be involved, but she did not want to be home right now.”
The sheriff’s office said it’s working with the FBI “in an attempt to make additional contact with Mrs. Salahi to assure her well being.” An official told ABCNews.com that no missing person’s report has been filed and there’s “no reason to believe Mrs. Salahi is any danger.”
Michaele Salahi is instead in Memphis with Journey guitarist Neal Schon, Schon’s spokesperson confirmed.
Tareq Salahi made an impassioned plea via TMZ.com today, saying he believed his wife “may have been kidnapped or abducted and being held under duress and forced to tell persons, including authorities she is okay.” He launched campaigns to find her on Facebook and Twitter and retweeted a follower saying “Michaele Salahi was last seen wearing a Baby Blue T-shirt dress with a silver glitter dolphin on the front and black thongs,” presumably referring to her sandals.
News anchors are supposed to read the news, not make it. But we’re more than happy to make an exception for two reporters from Philadelphia’s Fox 29 morning show, “Good Day.”
After interviewing Kim and Kourtney Kardashian on the air, Mike Jerrick and Sheinelle Jones thought the cameras had stopped rolling. They hadn’t.
As soon as they said their goodbyes to the Kardashians, who were promoting a line of clothes, the anchors began making fun of the two sisters. “Can they still hear us?” asks Jerrick. He then proceeds to mock the reality stars for their high-pitched voices and affinity for shoulder pads.
Jones half-heartedly attempts to defend the sisters, saying, “I think they’re stunning.” But even she can’t keep a straight face as her cohort continues speaking in a nasally Kardashian-like voice, a bit like a Smurf who had inhaled helium.
Yes, yes, we know. Making fun of others is wrong. Except when it’s the Kardashians. Then it’s hilarious. Enjoy!
“Real Housewives of D.C.” star Tareq Salahi believes his wife Michaele Salahi was abducted in Virginia yesterday, but he’s afraid the cops aren’t taking the situation seriously, TMZ has learned.
TMZ just spoke with Tareq, who tells us he last saw Michaele at their home around 11 a.m. EST yesterday, right before he left to go to their winery. Tareq says Michaele told him she was going to get her hair done, but she never went to the appointment. She’s been missing ever since.
Tareq claims he got a phone call from Michaele late last night from an unfamiliar Oregon cell phone number and she told him she was going to her mother’s house, located minutes away from the Salahi home.
Tareq says he was suspicious,so he called Michaele’s mother, who told him she hadn’t spoken with Michaele and was unaware of her plans. That’s when Tareq — fearing Michaele had been abducted — called the Warren County Sheriff’s Dept. for help.
But Tareq claims deputies told him she had already called them, informing them she was OK and just dealing with some “family issues.”
Tareq tells TMZ that he believes Michaele had been forced to make the phone calls by her abductor and believes she is in very real danger, especially because the Salahis have received death threats in the past.
Tareq says he’s considering going to other law enforcement for help because he feels the Warren County Sheriffs are not taking proper action.
Tareq has issued a statement saying, “We are reaching to the public pleading [sic] desperately for your help.”
He continues, “It is our belief as of last night, that Michaele Salahi may have been kidnapped or abducted and being held under duress and forced to tell persons, including authorities she is okay.”
“We are asking the public to please be on the look out for her, and if found please contact the authorities and please approach her and contact the authorities to intervene and that she may be forced to say she is okay, when in fact she is not and being held under possible abduction.”
A rep for the WCSD tells TMZ cops are not releasing any info about the situation at this time.
Whole Foods has stopped selling former “Real House wives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel‘s Skinnygirl Margarita, after discovering it has potentially carcinogenic ingredients. It causes cancer!
The drink — which Frankel crows on her Web site is “the margarita you can trust” with “all natural ingredients” and “no preservatives” — actually contains the preservative sodium benzoate, sources said.
What did Bethenny have to say about it?
“I’m not making wheatgrass here. If I could put an agave plant and some limes on a shelf I would. [The Skinnygirl Margarita] is as close to nature as possible, while still being a shelf-stable product,” she said.
She also added that the brand was only in a dozen of Whole Foods stores and they decided it wasn’t worth it to keep selling there and her company ended the relationship, so take that, Whole Foods.
A press release promoting the Kardashian sisters’ new clothing line for Sears was released yesterday and it has some people pretty angry.
Hi, I hope you are doing well!
Kourtney, Kim and Khloe personally invite you to join them in celebrating the launch of the Kardashian Kollection. Join the stylish Kardashian klan on September 6th at the private studio of the legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz for an exclusive preview of their fabulous new fashion Kollection for Sears.
Alliteration is great, but someone in the Kardashian camp doesn’t know when to cool it with the “K’s,” and referred to Kim, Khloe and Kourtney as the “Kardashian Klan.”
As The Observer notes, that spelling of “klan” is only associated with one thing, “And it doesn’t help that their primary initials amount to three consecutive K’s.”
Clearly this was an oversight, but perhaps it will teach the Kardashians a lesson.
Heather Bormann, 29, of Cleveland, a charter bus driver who got into a scuffle with Matthew Fox early Sunday morning, is giving her side of the story.
She told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in a Monday interview that she was attacked by Fox, who is in Cleveland to film I, Alex Cross, when she refused to let him on a bus that was reserved for a private party.
The mother of three said she did not realize it was Fox until after he was in police custody.
“He smelled like a liquor cabinet, like a bar,” Bormann explained. “I told him, ‘Sorry, buddy, this is a private party. You have to get off my vehicle.’ I told him three times. He never said a word. He just looked at me.”
She said Fox starting “swinging on her,” which left bruises on her arms, right leg, thighs and chest. Bormann said when he would not stop, she punched him in the mouth, sending him stumbling back. An off-duty police officer then got involved. Bormann says she is pressing charges against the actor, who has not commented on the incident.
Daryl Hannah was detained by officers at the White House on Tuesday, after ignoring repeated requests to move from the sidewalk in front of the president’s residence.
Hannah was taken away in cuffs.
Hannah was there to protest against the unbuilt Keystone XL oil pipeline that will stretch from Canada all the way to the Gulf Coast.
“Sometimes it’s necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom,” Hannah said in before being arrested. “And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future.”
NBC also points out that this isn’t the first time Hannah has been in cuffs due to protesting. She was once arrested for stopping traffic in West Virginia over coal mining.
Alec Baldwin has sold his longtime Upper West Side apartment in order to move downtown place with yoga instructor love Hilaria Thomas.
The New York Post was first to report the news that Baldwin, 53, sold his swank 300 Central Park West apartment at Eldorado — the pad was listed at $9.5 million — and has purchased a SoHo apartment close to 27-year-old Thomas’ yoga studio.
The Post added that Baldwin “sees marriage in the near future.”
Having divorced from Kim Basinger in 2001, Baldwin commented last year, “what’s worse than waking up with a 25-year-old woman, you know what I mean? You want to go shoot yourself because you have nothing to say to her. Seriously.”
Thomas has certainly changed his opinion.
Baldwin told the New York Times earlier this month that he was planning on moving in with Thomas even though he loves his old uptown neighborhood. “It is more real. There’s old people, it’s ethnic and it’s economically mixed.”
The son of actor Ryan O’Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, who was caught driving with illegal drugs and a handgun in Santa Monica earlier this month, pleaded no contest to charges of heroin and marijuana possession, as well as possession of a handgun, on Thursday.
He was subsequently sentenced to a year in a live-in rehabilitation program.
“Redmond is grateful for the opportunity to receive additional intensive treatment,” his lawyer, Richard Pintal, told Radar Online, which first reported the news.
Redmond was arrested on Aug. 2 in Santa Monica.
A spokesperson for the Santa Monica Police Department previously confirmed Redmond was pulled over at 8:45 AM on Aug. 2, for failing to stop at a red left turn arrow at Lincoln and Olympic.
Redmond was pulled over at the 600 block of Olympic Drive, not too far from the police department.
A motor officer determined O’Neal was on probation, and therefore he had consent to search him and the vehicle he was driving.
The officer found a controlled substance believed to be heroin in the car.
O’Neal has a history of drug problems. Previously, he was arrested for possession of heroin and methamphetamine and, in a separate incident, possession of methamphetamine.
Sad, really. I wonder if he will ever get his act together?
O’Neal is featured in the reality show Ryan and Tatum: The O’Neals, currently airing on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Actor Michael Showers, perhaps best known for his work as Captain John Guidry on the HBO series “Treme,” was found dead in the Mississippi River early Wednesday morning.
He was 45 years old.
A steamboat captain spotted him at around 11:15 a.m. in waters near New Orleans’ French Quarter and Harbor Police recovered the body about 30 minutes later, authorities told the Times-Picayune.
An autopsy will be performed to determine cause of death, but the chief investigator for the Orleans Parish coroner’s office estimated that Showers’ body had been in the water for two days.
The Times-Picayune identified Showers as being from Chalmette, a village in southeast Louisiana situated on the east bank of the Mississippi River.
In addition to Treme, Showers made appearances in Breaking Bad and The Vampire Diaries, and his movie credits include Traffic, I Love You Phillip Morris and The Tree of Life.
This is what happens when you put in too many hours on the job.
Sandra Lee isn’t the Susie Homemaker she appears to be on television. In between cursing and breast-grabbing, Lee admits that her “real personality” has a much bigger potty mouth.
Stop everything you’re doing and watch it now. Seriously. It won’t be online long.
