You know what I really hate? When celebrities in Hollywood start thinking they are way more famous than they actually are and now Hayden Panettiere has fallen into that group.
Apparently while she was attending a fundraiser to help benefit the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific Foundation in Honolulu over the weekend, the 19-year-old turned into a demon bitch.
Hayden who has split with her ex boyfriend and Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia, because he couldn’t handle her partying, started to scream at photographers to “back up.” Then when a television reporter tapped her on the shoulder and asked “may we talk with you, Hayden?” She turned around and screamed “don’t you ever touch me!”
She wasn’t done yet though, a couple of minutes later she flipped again and screamed “you all make my life miserable,” then refused to answer any questions before walking into the event.
It seems like Hayden has become like Katherine Heigl who also stupidly thinks her star power is A-List. Honestly though, do these people not realize there is another 1000 cute little blond girls just waiting for them to slip up so they can take their roles.
Pete Doherty has commissioned a pretentious sculpture of himself on a cross for his forthcoming solo show in London.
The disturbing artwork will be carved in marble and show Doherty being tortured, surrounded by strips of newspapers — symbolizing his crucifixion by the media.
Because of course the supermodel-shagging, paparazzi-baiting friend of Amy Winehouse hates having his ugly mug in the paper.
He apparently believes everyone’s out to get him.
I would hardly call his personal YouTube videos, doing crack with Amy Winehouse and endangering baby mice, the media crucifying him. He brings it on himself.
The statue will appear on stage with Pete at his Royal Albert Hall gig on July 12 — if it is finished in time. And it will be the center piece of a book by Reynolds called Heroes And Villains.
What others said:
Dlisted says, “Methinks Dreamboat is going to receive a cease and desist from Jesus Christ himself.”
God, who hasn’t? Hayden Panettiere is currently bedding her “Heroes” costar Milo Venti-whatever. However, she wouldn’t mind riding the love roller coaster of Angelina Jolie. Hayden doesn’t limit the boundaries of her lesbian fantasies either.
“That’s fine with me. If I’m going to be linked with someone, I could do an affair with Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, or Charlize Theron. Oh and Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous. There are so many beautiful girls.”
She joins a list of female celebs willing to go gay for her. Eve, Lindsay Lohan, Natasha Bedingfield, Kelly Rowland and Janice Dickinson are all known fans of the puffy lipped baby machine.
I must be living under a rock with an impenetrable force field. First I was unaware that Panettiere has been fighting off gay rumors. Second, I can’t seem to find the attractive quality in any of her female counterparts. Then again, I am a big fan of penis. I know…I need to step out of the box. (No pun intended.)
This is purely for all those pervs out there. We love you. But if you are seeking some genuine news and the Kristen Bell sex scene is of little interest…we still love you too.
The movie featuring Kristin Bell, hottie from Heroes, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is premiering to positive reviews.
“Despite minor kinks, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” will be a box office hit that will have audiences rolling on the floor in laughter.”
Bell is also in talks to rejoin the Heroes cast for next season. Rob Thomas is also reportedly talking her into taking part in the 90210 remake.
If I had a rolled up newspaper I would chase him around yelling…“Stop it Rob Thomas. Bad, bad idea. No. No 90210!

Hayden Panettiere would rather stay home than get mobbed by fans.
Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere has confessed becoming a mega-star has turned her into a virtual recluse.
‘I don’t ever go out,’ she says, of her life in Hollywood, where she drives everywhere to avoid being recognised on the street. ‘I stay at home. I go from garage to garage, and keep myself out of sight.’ The 18-year-old, who has been catapulted into the A-list since taking on the role of cheerleader Claire Bennet in the top-rated US drama, admits she finds being famous ‘a pain in the ass’.
‘I love where I live and that I have wonderful friends there and I love what I do, but it really has a major impact on your life. This business is very intrusive. People want to know what you’re doing every day, and it becomes less about your craft and your art, and your love for acting, than it is about when you put food in your mouth, or when you’re walking your dog.’
Hayden has been in the industry since she was a mere 11 months old, when her mother Lesley – a former soap actress – got her cast in the first of more than 50 adverts. Hayden herself starred in the US daytime soap One Life To Live from ages four to eight, and, now that Heroes has made her a Hollywood A-lister, her next move is to set the big screen alight, having just filmed Fireflies In The Garden with Julia Roberts.
And it seems the teenage star is in no danger of following the likes of Lindsay Lohan into being more famous for misdemeanours than movies – in fact, she is scathing of Hollywood stars who are more concerned with being celebrities than they are with being actors. ‘The interesting thing to me is, if you think about it, the glamour of Hollywood has been dimmed down by people that don’t necessarily love what they do or their craft,’ she says. ‘I think people who are mainly in the public eye and deal with this [attention], a lot of them like it and enjoy it. I don’t really enjoy going out, it’s a nightmare in my opinion.’
On That cheerleader’s body…
‘I don’t have a model’s body. I’m not obsessed like some girls who go crazy. I’m happy with what I’ve got, it suits me fine. I have a personal trainer or I’d never get my ass into the gym, I’d probably be asleep instead. I have to pass as a superhero and you have to be careful of those widescreen TVs, too.’
What she wants in a man
‘I like somebody who is confident and independent, and obviously it helps if they’re secure in themselves. Because sometimes in my job, I obviously have to make out with hot men, so a good sense of humour helps to deal with this!’
I’d dog her for whining about the down side of celebrity, or going on and on about her “craft,” because that kind of thing generally annoys the crap out of me. But she seems like a sweet girl, so I’ll let her off with a warning this time.
And, no, that photo of Hayden in a bikini really doesn’t have anything to do with the story. What’s your point?

Ivan Dixon, best known for his role as Sergeant James Kinchloe on “Hogan’s Heroes,” died Sunday.
Actor Ivan Dixon, who brought the problems and promise of contemporary blacks to life in the film “Nothing But a Man” and portrayed the levelheaded POW Kinchloe in TV’s “Hogan’s Heroes,” has died. He was 76. Dixon died Sunday at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte after a hemorrhage, said his daughter, Doris Nomathande Dixon of Charlotte. He had suffered complications from kidney failure, she said.
Dixon, who also directed scores of television shows, began his acting career in the late 1950s. He appeared on Broadway in William Saroyan’s 1957 “The Cave Dwellers” and in playwright Lorraine Hansberry’s groundbreaking 1959 drama of black life, “A Raisin in the Sun.” In the latter, he played a Nigerian student visiting the United States, a role he repeated in the film version. While not a hit, the 1964 “Nothing But a Man,” in which Dixon co-starred with Abbey Lincoln, also drew praise as a rare, early effort to bring the lives of black Americans to the big screen. Other film credits included “Something of Value,” “A Patch of Blue” and the cult favorite “Car Wash.”
“As an actor, you had to be careful,” said Sidney Poitier, star of “Patch of Blue” and a longtime friend. “He was quite likely to walk off with the scene.”
In 1967, Dixon starred in a CBS Playhouse drama, “The Final War of Olly Winter,” about a veteran of World War II and Korea who decided that Vietnam would be his final war. The role brought Dixon an Emmy nomination for best single performance by an actor.
He was probably best known for the role of Staff Sgt. James Kinchloe on “Hogan’s Heroes,” the hit 1960s sitcom set in a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. The technically adept Kinchloe was in charge of electronic communications and could mimic German officers on the radio or phone.
Dixon was active in efforts to get better parts for blacks in movies and television, telling The New York Times in 1967: “Sponsors haven’t wanted anything negative connected with their products. We must convince them that the Negro is not negative.” “Heretofore, people have thought that, to use a Negro, the story must pit black against white. Maybe we’re getting to the problems of human beings who happen to be black.”
While Dixon was most proud of roles such as those in “A Raisin in the Sun” and “Nothing But a Man,” he had no problem about being recognized for Kinchloe, his daughter said. “It was a pivotal role as well, because there were not as many blacks in TV series at that time,” Nomathande Dixon said. “He did have some personal issues with that role, but it also launched him into directing.”
Dixon also directed numerous episodes of TV shows, including “The Waltons,” “The Rockford Files,” “Magnum, P.I.” and “In the Heat of the Night.”
I didn’t know about his directorial career and had forgotten he was in “Car Wash,” which I saw more than 30 years ago. His role as Kinchloe, though, was quite memorable. Interestingly, he was the only original cast member to leave the show before it ended its run.
I saw “Hogan’s Heroes” in reruns in the early 1970s, by which point it didn’t seem particularly unusual that a black NCO would be among the prisoners, so it never occurred to me that the role was groundbreaking. The same was true of Nichelle Nichols’ part in “Star Trek.”
Hayden Panettiere replaces Fergie as the new rep for Candies. The spring 2008 campaign is cashing in on the barely legal Heroes vixen. She told everyone how grateful she is to be working with the company pimped by Kohls.
“I am excited to be working with Candie’s. Their campaigns are fun and playful and always feature the hottest stars. I am honored to be the new Candie’s ‘girl’ and I look forward to working with them on lots of exciting projects.”
What a well trained puppet she is. I can barely see the PR rep pulling her strings.

JJ Abrams brings a monster movie to theaters. A monster of epic porportions attacks New York City in Godzilla style. What the monster is a mystery. Below is a supposed photo of the monster that appears to be some sort of mutated whale that breathes fire. I am guessing it is a hoax, but how awesome would I be for finding this one for. That’s right, bask in the blogger glory.
The Upside- The hype alone may be worth the price of a movie ticket. The Downside- The entire film is shot from the perspective of a video camera. All I can think of is the awful camera work of The Blair Witch Project.
Rambo-January 25th
Stallone shoots up the screen again in yet another Rambo. The plot is set in Thailand where a group of mercenaries and John Rambo try to infiltrate a Burmese village. The war filled trailer promises a fill of theatrical gore.
The Upside- It’s freaking Rambo people. The Downside- If there is such a thing as too much violence, this would be it. Then again…some might see that as an upside.
21- March 21st
Kevin Spacey brings us a hot way to appreciate math. It is based on a true story that involves some MIT college kids counting cards in Vegas. This is the math club I missed out on. The six students took several Vegas casinos for millions of dollars. If you are into books it came from the novel “Bringing Down the House.”
The Upside- Kevin Spacey, a plot that should fuel a great movie and a moral lesson. The Downside- It could really be overdone and corny depending on the talent.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian- May 16th
The Pevensie children return to Narnia to help out ol’ Aslan. What has only been one year to the kids has been 1300 years in Narnia. Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy help out a prettied up Prince Caspian regain the throne. It follows the film The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The 2004 wasn’t bad, but leaving things open to interpretation can hinder your views.
The Upside- The trailer was able to capture my attention and the books are a staple in many households. It looks to be a darker and intense view that echoes the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The Downside- That interpretation factor could ruin a movie. When you create film from something that holds a legendary quality it is easy to screw up.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull- May 22nd
Harrison Ford teams up with up and coming Shia LaBeouf in the latest installment of the Indiana Jones films. The film is set in the Cold War of 1957 and Shia is rocking a pompadour. No trailers out there yet.
The Upside- Harrison Ford returns to the character of Jones after an 18 year hiatus. The Jones film hype speaks for itself. The Downside- That is a lot of hype to live up to. Sequels are hard to impress an audience with. Especially when 18 years of anticipation is behind it.
Sex and the City- May 30th
Sarah Jessica Parker brings sexy back in the film version on the HBO series. The series strayed into new realms that women have no fear to talk about in real life. Beyond love, relationships and men the four women became heroes to the modern day bored housewife. They freely talked about sex and cranked out some quotes that will not leave you.
“I will wear whatever and blow whomever I want as long as I can breathe and kneel.”
The Upside- The series was fearless, if the movie is the same way we are in for a treat. The Downside- Oh let me count the possible factors that could doom the film. So much has been leaked online it will be beyond predictable. The second factor….I fear it will be one of those things that ended on a high note, but they tried to squeeze one last dime from a concept that is stale.
The Happening- June 13th
Yes that is a Friday the 13th release date. M. Night Shyamalan strikes again with another thriller. While the past few Night films have failed to impress the masses, this one is rumored to be a redemption. Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo and Spencer Breslin star in the film that is already rated “R.”
The Upside- I would love to see M. Night get back into the swing of twisted thrillers that rival The Sixth Sense. The Downside- It could be a further disappointment that could be the final blow.
Batman: The Dark Knight- July 18th
The Dark Knight is probably the most anticipated films. Heath Ledger and Christian Bale star in the latest installment of the Batman films. The sequel features the ultimate villain, the Joker. When I heard Ledger was cast in the role I was disappointed. I kept picture this pretty boy in the Joker’s shoes giggling as he tried to thwart Bale. The trailer has redeemed my faith in the film. This version of the Joker is darker, better, more intense and believable as a psycho. Kudos to Heath for proving me wrong.
The Upside- Maggie Gyllenhaal replaced Katie Holmes’ dumbass damsel in distress. The Downside- Let me get back to you on that.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince- November 21st
Harry Potter is one of those films that directors can easily screw up. (Ahem…Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.) The last film of the series wasn’t bad and the director who was at the helm for returns again for the Half Blood Prince. My fingers are crossed for those Harry Potter fans who are so very dedicated to the books. Either way you can bet that this film will not fly under the radar.
The Upside- Harry Potter has become the new aged superhero that has started a following that is appealing to all ages. The books are beyond detailed, here’s hoping for some cinema magic. The Downside- If you haven’t read the books by the end of the this film you will be lost. So much has already been left out of the films that, personally, I feel are vital to understand the plot.
The Lovely Bones- Currently Rumored Release in Summer 2008
Peter Jackson won my heart by not completely killing the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Here we have another novel based film that has a big budget. Ryan Gosling had the leading male role before age became a factor and Mark Wahlberg reportedly took his place. The story is from the perspective of a 14 year old girl who was raped and murdered by a neighbor. She tells the tale from heaven and shows the lives of those affected by her death.
The Upside- Great cast, great director and the material is of substance. The Downside- How freakin’ sad!

Who doesn’t love gorgeous women? Every magazine and Web site rounds up their list of Most Sexy This and Hottest That. Who’s got time to read all of them?
Yet we here at Gone Hollywood don’t want you to miss out on any hot celebrity chicks, so we have rounded up all the ladies that make up the elite of celebrity hotness.
Hottest Chick on TV- Kristen Bell
I love Veronica Mars. So Kristen Bell on Heroes is like candy. She looks like the type of girl who would tie you up and make you squeal…in a good way.
At first I thought Portia was guilty of the utmost crime of snobbery. You remember her days on Ally McBeal. She would strut around with long hair like she was Lady Lovely Locks and look pretentious. But now that she is openly dating Ellen Degeneres I can’t tell you how hypocritical I have become. I mean “Arrested Development” was pure gold.
Hottest Actress That is Actually Talented- Keira Knightley
How could you not love Keira. She swears like a sailor on shore leave and doesn’t have any shame. Keira is someone you could drink with and she would be racking up pints faster than you can say pirate hooker.
“Apparently on the Internet I’m a sexy beanpole, tomboy beanpole.”
Rose McGowan is one saucy kitten. She is one of those girls who will bust out freaky toys that make you nervous, but always wanted to try. Plus I have three words for you. Machine gun leg.
Hottest Young Hot Hollywood Chick- Hayden Panettiere
The second of the hot blondes on “Heroes” is Hayden. She is constantly bouncing around in a cheerleader skirt and is never without lip-gloss. Her character never dies and undergoes various grotesque accidents. Beauty and gore. It is like soft core porn and candy for a man.
Salma has just been inducted into the MILF association and has projects around every corner. After fighting her way from Mexican soap opera status, she now ranks among the A-listers. Plus she has fantastic boobies.
She is thin, blonde and rich. We get it. But I fail to see the appeal in Cameron Diaz. In true form she is rather ditzy and lacks talent. This is one chic who make it on appearance alone.
She ranks 14th on the Forbes’ list of the rich and powerful women. Sandra Bullock has that girl next door quality and buckets of cash you could roll in. She is also the type of girl you can bring home to mom, hold a decent conversation with and will ride your Harley without complaining about wind blown hair.
Before you gasp with fear of the voluptuous curves of the Queen, know that in a Yahoo Personals poll she came in third of the most desired single celebrities. Sure Jessica Alba was number one and Jennifer Anniston placed second. But Latifah placed third above Jessica Simpson and Maria Sharapova.
UPDATE (Freddy): In the interest of completeness, here are some of the more notable omissions from Cara’s list. Sure, it takes the list beyond 10 and technically screws up the title. But it’s hot women, people, so get over it already. (And Queen Freakin’ Latifah? Please. No way I’d hit that.)
Hayden on when she intends on becoming the latest screwed-up girl in Hollywood: “Never, never. Cross our fingers. You can’t schedule rehab for me. And I don’t think you can schedule any DUI’s. I think I’m going to be one of those boring girls.”
Hayden on Britney Spears: “That girl was the epitome of beauty when I was younger. And we built her up and just ripped her down, put every aspect of her life under a microscope. Probably made 90 percent of the stuff up along the way. I can’t even imagine if I had it like she does. She’s someone that I’m rooting for, and I hope she can make that comeback.”
Hayden on the craziest rumor she has ever heard about herself: “Well, now that I’m single, it’s like I’m dating every male I’m standing next to—and possibly every female.”
Hayden on rumors she is dating her Heroes castmate, Milo Ventimiglia: “No, I’m not. I love my castmates, and I adore Milo. He’s awesome, but we’re easy targets. We’re both young, and he’s one of the only people on the show not married with children.”
Hayden on celebs she wouldn’t mind being romantically linked to: “God, it could be anyone from Leo DiCaprio to Justin Timberlake—or any girl. You want to make me a lesbian? That’s totally fine with me. Um, let’s see. We could do a love affair with Angelina. We could do… Oh gosh, I love—there are so many beautiful girls. Charlize Theron. Oh, my God. Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous. Jessica Alba.”
At 9:26 p.m. last night, Britney Spears turned herself in at an LAPD substation for the misdemeanor charges that stemmed from the August hit-and-run accident. Britney was charged with one count of hit and run causing property damage and one count of driving without a valid California driver’s license.
An officer said of the process,
“She comes in and we put her information into computer, fingerprint her, lifescan and electronically scan hands and palms as well, and photograph her. She will be issued a release from custody citation, which tells her next court appearance.”
Britney showed up to the station in sunglasses and a pink wig - the paparazzi would never know it was her! Genius plan.
What others are saying:
The Superficial says, “those sunglasses must get in the way of her reading. You know, those cold nights when Britney likes to immerse herself in the great literary classics. I heard she was almost through “The Cat in the Hat.” It’s been a couple of weeks, but she can’t wait to see how it ends.”
A Socialite’s Life says, “However, Britney explained that her choice of eye-wear stems from a pink eye infection she’s fighting at the moment. Damn, she seriously has all kinds of problems at the moment? Pink-eye? I kind of feel bad for her. I do hope there’s not some tragic health reason for why she seems to refuse to wear undergarments, because…*shudder*…I can only imagine the possibilities.”
dlisted says, “She sucked the cops off and then was on her way. NO! She was there for 45-minutes to be booked on misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run.”
Best Week Ever says, “Britney Spears has surrendered herself to authorities for the Hit and Run charges she faces following an incident last month, which was relief to police, who were beginning to fear they would end up facing a Waco-like situation outside of a Quiznos in the Valley.”
Defamer says, “Accompanied by the usual retinue of paparazzi photographers and local news crews that document her every frappuccino run, conspicuously public lunch date, and spur-of-the-moment shopping trip to the Neglected Baby Gap, embattled onetime popstar Britney Spears reported to the Van Nuys police station under the cover of darkness last night to be booked for her failure to leave a “Sorry, y’all, I’m bad at parking!” note on the car she struck in a Petco parking lot back in August.”

Following last night’s highly anticipated season premiere of ‘Heroes’, Hayden Panettiere dropped by the CNN Studios in New York City on Tuesday to tape a one-hour special for ‘Larry King Live’.
Unlike Britney Spears, Hayden knows how a lady steps out of a car.

There all kinds of shows premiering tonight, so we can only go over two in detail. And the two with the most buzz appear to be the new series ‘Chuck’ and the return of ‘Heroes’.
The premise of ‘Chuck’ reads, “A computer nerd is drawn into shadowy global espionage when subliminal government secrets are downloaded into his brain.” So it’s supposed to be a little James Bond-like, but funny. The lead man is Zachary Levi, who has previously starred in “Less Than Perfect”.
“Plot: A computer nerd accidentally has thousands of government secrets downloaded into his head when he opens a mysterious email from his former college roommate. Chuck is a timid, yet lovable character who works for the ‘Nerd Herd’ (parody of the ‘Geek Squad’ from Best Buy). He lives with his sister, who is trying to get him to go out more often. Chuck doesn’t realize he has government secrets locked in his memory, but he suspects he is being pursued. He soon discovers what he knows when he is contacted by the CIA and NSA. They must now keep him safe while they find out what he really knows.
What I liked: There was great character development right from the start. The relationships aren’t too forced or cliché. The photography is up to the caliber of a major motion picture, filled with lots of great action sequences. The dialogue between Chuck and his best friend/co-worker is outright hilarious. The music was fitting… they even ended with a song from indie synth-Pop darling ‘Joy Electric’.
What I disliked: To be honest, there wasn’t much that I didn’t like about this show.”
Series Premiere Tonight at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST on NBC
‘Heroes’ is also back for its second season, and fans can’t wait. The show is about ordinary people, from all over the world, who gain superpowers, including a young dreamer who believes he can fly, a high-school cheerleader who’s indestructible and a heroin-addicted artist who can paint the future.
Last season ended with Peter, Nathan, Claire, Hiro, Ando, Mr. Bennett, Parkman and Mohinder banning together to stop Sylar from blowing up New York City, though the fates of Peter, Nathan and Sylar remain up in the air. In the season two premiere, someone will die, and new heroes will be introduced.
Season Two Premiere Tonight at 9 pm EST/8 pm CST on NBC
