Charlie Sheen has just admitted in a new Sports Illustrated interview that he decided to take performance enhancers for his role as Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn in ‘Major League.’
Usually it’s the athletes that take steroids to bulk up, not actors playing athletes.
“Let’s just say that I was enhancing my performance a little bit. It was the only time I ever did steroids… I did them for like six or eight weeks. You can print this, I don’t give a f**k. My fastball went from 79 [miles-per-hour] to like 85.”
Sheen went on to say that he quit the drug after losing control of his temper.
While on steroids, he almost got into a fight at a bar after some patrons were making fun of the wacky haircut he got for the role, “I didn’t like the haircut because it generated so many comments in bars. I’ve got enough of that already. Add that to the mix, and it’s a recipe for a fistfight,” he says.
It’s all in Spanish, but you don’t need to speak the language to crack up at clip.
Tom Hanks has pretty much done everything when it’s time to promote a new movie.
And during his recent visit to Miami for his latest movie ‘Larry Crowne‘, the two-time Academy Award winner had some fun over at Spanish network Univisión, when he was a special guest on their morning show, ‘Despierta America’.
During a cooking segment, Hanks tried some mexican ingredients, including tasting some very spice chilis that made him sweat and even get a bit teary-eyed a bit.
But he surely proved he was game for everything, speaking a little bit of Spanish and even getting his dance on during the weather segment, alongside co-host Chiquinquirá Delgado.
The Casey Anthony trial has become the hottest ticket in Orlando.
A fight broke out early Friday morning at the Orange County courthouse among people waiting in line for tickets to view the trial.
The violence prompted the Orange County Courthouse to change their rules today for those seeking admission to the trial.
The overnight brawl wasn’t the first time those seeking admission have gotten into a scuffle. Other skirmishes have occurred over the last few weeks, but none got this violent.
Since the trial began, those hoping to get a glimpse of Anthony legal drama have lined up during the night for one of the 58 seats reserved for members of the public.
Casey Anthony, 25, is accused of murdering her daughter Caylee. She has pleaded not guilty and could face the death penalty if convicted.
These kinds of trials bother me because a) the whole “media” circus is grotesque, and b) it strikes me as somewhat unfair that one person’s murder is given so much attention whilst most others’ receive comparatively little.
Lady GaGa has released her music video for her latest song, ‘The Edge Of Glory’, and as you can see below it is an extremely boring video, well in my opinion anyway.
Maybe it’s because I’m used to GaGa’s videos being so out there that this one just seems to be boring because it’s basically just her dancing around on a fire escape while singing along to the song. This isn’t the original concept for the video though, because Joseph Kahn was originally supposed to direct the video but there seems to have been some drama that went down on the set.
Apparently in Kahns concept for the video he had a hospital scene, a scene at the Brooklyn Bridge and a mermaid scene but during the shoot GaGa and her team decided they didn’t want this so she took over and directed the video herself.
Meanwhile the now infamous mea dress that GaGa wore at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards is now heading for the Rock Hall Of Fame and while this is all going on GaGa is continuing her fight to support gay rights because she has found herself in the center of the battle to legalize gay marriage in New York.
“I’m here again today to apologize for the mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused,” said the embattled lawmaker, who had become embroiled in an online sexual controversy. “Today I am announcing my resignation from Congress.”
Cheers were heard as Weiner announced he was stepping down from his post.
One man made it hard to hear his speech. The man yelled “bye-bye pervert” and asked him about the size of his penis.
I think Weiner might be proud of his wiener — it’s probably the cross-dressing photo HERE that did him in.
Dave Chappelle ending his six-year hiatus from television with a new show?
According to The Daily, the comedian has been working on material and tinkering with a return that’s as unconventional as his abrupt exit in 2005.
“Dave Chappelle’s going back to TV. It’s not for a network. It’s for Netflix or Crackle or some other subscription service.”
Chappelle of course bailed on his massively popular Comedy Central show, ‘Chappelle’s Show‘ in its third season. He stood to make $50 million in his contract, but walked away following an epiphany on a pilgrimage to South Africa.
“I felt like some kind of prostitute or something. If I feel so bad, why keep on showing up to this place?” he told Oprah at the time.
No deal has been made, but the report indicates Chappelle is looking to bring his talents to a paid-subscription service like Netflix, Hulu or Crackle. All of these online networks have recently ramped up their original content programming. Most notably, Netflix has David Finger’s ‘House of Card,’ priced at $100 million, set to air next year.
In the meantime, Chappelle is working on fresh material at Los Angeles comedy clubs, where one spy told The Daily his set was “really depressing. He was talking about the past, about the show.”
The two young women at the center of a beauty queen battle that grabbed headlines across the country will face off once again – this time for the chance to be Miss Texas.
Both Domonique Ramirez, who said she lost her Miss San Antonio crown because of her weight and went to court to win it back, and Ashley Dixon, the runner-up briefly tapped to replace Ramirez, have been invited to compete in the Miss Texas pageant, organizers said Monday.
The 38 Miss Texas contestants include the 17-year-old Ramirez as Miss San Antonio and the 23-year-old Dixon as Miss Bexar County, which encompasses the city. The winner of that pageant, who will be crowned July 1 at the University of Texas at Arlington, will compete for Miss America.
Ramirez’s story caused a major stir in January, when she claimed she was unfairly booted after pageant officials accused her of gaining weight and told her to “get off the tacos.” The pageant insisted weight wasn’t the issue and maintained that the teenager violated her contract with conduct unfitting a beauty queen.
Organizers subsequently awarded the crown to Dixon, but Ramirez sued. Following a week-long trial, a Bexar County jury returned the crown to her March 24.
Valerie Bell, a spokeswoman for the Miss Texas pageant, said the San Antonio franchise could assign another title at any point – which organizers did to make Dixon Miss Bexar County.
“When Domonique’s crown had been contested, they awarded it to Ashley. When Domonique’s crown was restored, they continued to have a crown for Ashley,” Bell said. “It was only fair to allow her to compete. Only fair to allow both to compete.”
Bell said she did not know when the decision to make Dixon Miss Bexar County was made: “Miss Texas doesn’t get involved with the local rules.”
Linda Woods, board president of the Miss Bexar County Organization, which runs the Miss San Antonio pageant, did not return calls seeking comment Monday. Ramirez’s attorney, Luis Vera Jr., also couldn’t be reached.
Bell said Ramirez and Dixon joined contestants from all over the state at an informal meeting where Miss Texas organizers explained the pageant’s schedule and expectations. She said both “were great.”
“The young women from San Antonio are fabulous as are the women from all over the state of Texas,” Bell said.
San Antonio will actually have three women competing for Miss Texas, since Selena Affram, 23, will be in the pageant as Miss Collegiate San Antonio.
Bell brushed aside notions that including both Ramirez and Dixon could reignite the battle for the Miss San Antonio crown.
“We are committed to the ground being equal,” she said. “We don’t want to create hype around anybody that would be unfair to her.”
Woods, the San Antonio pageant organizer, testified during the Ramirez trial that the size-2 teenager showed up to a photo shoot overweight and pictures of her in a bikini were “unusable.”
But she told jurors it wasn’t a few added inches at the waist-line that cost the 5-foot-8, 129-pound college student her crown. Instead, Woods said Ramirez violated her contract by being chronically late for events or not showing up, not writing thank-you notes for gifts and embarrassing the pageant board by turning down vocal coaching from an opera singer.
Ramirez denied gaining weight or being late. Immediately after reclaiming her title, she went to San Antonio’s Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church to place the crown on its altar as a gift to the patroness.
Science fiction fans prepare yourselves! The Rise of the Planet of the Apes film will be hitting theaters this August 5th and is certainly poised for greatness, much the way the original set of films were.
If you were disheartened by the sub-par remake by filmmaker Tim Burton, you weren’t the only one. I was so disappointed that I almost shrugged off this prequel.
But based on behind the scenes footage as well as the first trailer, my faith has been renewed.
The brand new second trailer for the film dropped last night, and I must say it looks amazing.
Check it out and comment on whether or not we’ll be seeing you in line at the theaters this August!
The other day I posted the new music video for Rihanna‘s new song, Man Down, but it has since come under fire from the Parents Television Council because they claim it shows a “cold, calculated execution of murder”.
The PTC are furious that Rihanna shoots a man in a crowded train station after he raped her, and they say this doesn’t show a proper form of justice. In my opinion it’s the best form of justice.
Then there is another watchdog group called Industry Ears who bring up Chris Brown in the argument, they say “If Chris Brown shot a woman in his new video and BET premiered it, the world would stop. Rihanna should not get a pass …”
How classy to bring up the man who beat up his girlfriend and compare the two. BET are also underfire from both groups for airing the video. TMZ are running a poll at the moment asking who is right and surprisingly the PTC are winning.
Earlier this month Rihanna released the music video for her song, ‘California King Bed’, and now she has released the music video for her latest one, ‘Man Down’.
The video, which was also directed by Anthony Mandler, premiered on 106 & Park earlier today and Rihanna took to her Twitter account to write “ManDownVideo #brrrraaaaappp rah rah rah MO FYAH!!!! #RihannaNavy.”
I am loving this song, it’s been my favorite off her Loud album since it got released and I’m glad she finally did a music video that actually makes sense and goes with the lyrics to the song. What do you think?
Panic! At The Disco were playing a show in Pompano, Florida, over the weekend when frontman Brendon Urie broke his ankle on stage but he wasn’t planning on letting his fans down because he kept going through and even showed off his ankle. You can see it in the video but be warned it’s kind of vile.
TMZ reports that Brendon broke his ankle when climbing back on stage after going into the crowd, he then took his shoe off to show off the injury and said “there’s like a softball in my ankle … my left leg is done for the show, if you don’t mind … the show will go on if you’ll have us.”
When the show was over he then took to his Twitter account to post this photo of his foot all bandaged up. I have to say good on him for continuing the show but I feel a little sick after looking at the video.

“What a Memorial Day weekend! The William Rast car just won the Indy 500!!!!” Timberlake tweeted shortly after the race.
The singer-turned-actor also tweeted his congrats and thanks to everyone involved in the win.
“Congrats to Dan Wheldon, the WR racing team and everyone else who put in the hard work for this victory! Unreal!”
Timberlake created the William Rast clothing line with his childhood friend Trace Ayala in 2006.
But the win for Timberlake and William Rast came with its fair share of drama. Rookie JR Hildebrand crashed his car just seconds from being crowned the Indy 500 champ, opening the way Wheldon to race to victory.
If you have seen The Pirates of the Caribbean 4 over the weekend then you will have most likely seen the first trailer for the upcoming The Muppets movie and as you can see above it’s not your typical trailer.
The trailer starts out with a fake trailer for a fake movie, Green With Envy, that is basically your typical rom-com stuff (they even created a fake poster which you can see below).
James Bobin is the director behind the movie while Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller wrote the script for it. Amy Adams, Chris Cooper and Segel all star in the movie along with a bunch of other cameos.
The Muppets is set for release on November 23rd, I for one will definitely be checking it out. Will you?
My, how the tables have turned for the future Queen of England, Kate Middleton.
Trying on the hat of a lovesick royal years before even meeting her future husband, Prince William, Middleton played ‘Prince Charming’ in her middle school’s adaptation of ‘Cinderella,’ according to The Sun.
“Oh woe, woe, woe is me,” Middleton’s character laments in one scene. “I’m in love. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I can’t concentrate on anything. My memory is gone.”
With stellar comedic timing, a voice made to hit those high notes and an uncanny ability to pull off a crown, it looks like Middleton has had the makings of a royal since she was just 11-years-old. Brava, Brava! Talk about a serious encore in the making. Eighteen years later Middleton would marry Prince William in what will go down as the wedding of (at least) the decade.
I’m not going to sit here and pretend I know anything about this years American Idol because that would all be a lie, I haven’t watched a single episode this season. Anyway, one of the contestants fell on stage last night and since I love somebody falling over I had to post it here.
Haley Reinhart was singing the Led Zepplin song ‘What Is and What Should Never Be’ when she took a trip up the stairs, it’s at around the 1:30 mark. This is all I will know about this season of American Idol.
