Before They Were Stars: Elijah Wood

Roberta @ Gone Hollywood  | Friday, March 20, 2009

Before Elijah Wood was a hobbit carrying the “one ring” to Mount Doom in “The Lord Of The Rings“, he was just a simple kid, like the rest of us. Or maybe not.

What a cute kid.

Check him out in Paula Abdul’s video for “Forever Your Girl”:

Adorable!

And here’s little ol’ Elijah shilling for Pizza Hut in a commercial:

Awwwwww. Didn’t that dog look mad to you?

Celebrities Talk Presidential Inaguration

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Monday, January 19, 2009

MEGAN MULLALLY
“I’m not going to go, but I’m definitely going to watch. Are you kidding me? It’s history. I feel really hopeful about the whole thing. I just feel like, it’s hard to say it without sounding like a big gigantic cliché, but don’t you feel like there’s change? I feel very hopeful about everything. I think it’s really great the way he’s built his cabinet and the diversity. It feels very new.”

CONAN O’BRIEN
“I’m like that guy that the test is tomorrow and it’s 10 p.m. the night before.”

AMY POEHLER
“I’ll be watching, definitely watching. Just celebrating, celebrating, celebrating.”

DEMI LOVATO
On performing at the Disney Channel’s Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future concert: “It’’s not just another president. What’s great about having the Disney Channel at the inauguration is now kids can be able to realize what a great experience this will be … I’m ridiculously nervous to a point where I don’t know what I’ll be able to do with myself. And I really hope I don’t fall.”

PORTIA DE ROSSI
“Don’t we all have so many hopes for that poor man?”

KIEFER SUTHERLAND
“I’m going to watch it on the telly like most other people.”

NICK JONAS
“It’s absolutely an honor to be able to perform. We’ve always talked about a future in the White House one day, so to be able to go back should be fun. What we’re doing is all for the children and families of the military … We know that Sasha and Malia [Obama] are fans of ‘Burnin’ Up’ which is probably what we’ll playing.”

JENNIFER BEALS
“I’ll be there. I started working for the campaign during the primaries. Then I went to Ohio to speak. I went to Pennsylvania twice, knocked on doors, phone banks, talked to five, 10, 500 people, just did as much as I could. He means the change that you want to see in yourself. The economy is first and foremost, obviously.”

PAULA ABDUL
“I’m going to be in Tampa on Home Shopping. I’m going to watch with my friends.”

JASON BATEMAN
“I”m excited … we’re putting a new face on the leadership of this country, somebody representing all of us Americans that is a bit more appealing to the rest of the world, somebody who comes from a bit more of a common-sense position. That’s been lost for the last eight years. In fact, I’m going to be shooting a PSA for him, a pledge — you’re trying to pledge what you plan on doing to sort of better the country. Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, a bunch of people [are going] to make it. We’re going to deliver it to Obama, I think, on Inauguration Day.”

DENIS LEARY
“We’re going to be watching at work. Larenz [Tate] is going so my plan is to call him on his cell phone as often as I can that day and see if he’s finagled himself into the White House or not. We’re just looking for ashtrays and souvenirs that he can steal and bring back on set because he has to be back at work the next morning.”

AMBER TAMBLYN
“It’s going to be amazing. I have friends flying to New York tomorrow, who are going to take the train down to D.C. They’re coming from L.A. to go to it. Everyone is doing something for it.”

EDIE FALCO
“I was invited. I’d give my right arm but we’re in the middle of production, so we’re going to watch it on set.”

JIMMY FALLON
“I’m doing Ellen on Tuesday and then after that I guess I’m just going to watch it. I guess I’ll just watch it on TV but I’m excited about it. Change is good.”

SCOTT FOLEY
“I hope to watch it if I’m not working. I don’t have any plans specifically for the inauguration aside from the same kind of plans I had during the election, turn the TV on and be a part of history that way.”

SHIRLEY MANSON
“Hell, yeah, of course. I’ve got my Obama T-shirt ready. I’m going to wear it the whole way through. Like most of my friends and people that I know, I’m really excited about his possibilities and potential.”

SETH MacFARLANE
” It’s going to be a clusterf–k, but I’ll be watching. We all fought hard to make this happen. Here’s my theory: It’s going to take one term just to undo everything that George Bush has f–ked up. And by the way, not just George Bush but Reagan. too … So I think, step one, we have to admit to ourselves we have to give Obama two terms, and we have to let the Democrats continue to undo everything that’s gone wrong since the ‘80s. My fear is that eight years will roll by, assuming he gets elected a second term, and they’ll go, ‘Why didn’t he fix everything completely?’ And they’ll elect Sarah Palin, who will completely take the country to s–t, and if that happens, we do not deserve to be the dominant power any longer.”

Celebrities Most Regrettable Moments of 2008

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Tuesday, December 9, 2008

Paula Abdul’s Idol blunder, Nikki Blonsky’s airport brawl, Miss USA’s tumble – it’s all the “oops!” and blunders we just can’t forget.

Ryan Phillippe gets an unusual request from Jay Leno

LET’S FACE IT
While promoting his Iraq war film Stop-Loss, Ryan Phillippe got an unusual request from Tonight Show host Jay Leno: “Can you give me your ‘gayest look?’” “Wow,” Phillippe replied. “That is so something I don’t want to do.” Leno later apologized, admitting, “It was a dumb thing to say.”

Paula Abdul finds Jason Castro forgetable

SOUR NOTE
American Idol’s top 5 contestant Jason Castro had performed the first of two songs during a Neil Diamond-themed episode in April when Paula Abdul told him, “The second song, I felt like your usual charm was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty and the two songs made me feel like you’re not fighting hard enough to get into the top four.” Oops! Later, she called the gaffe “an honest mistake.”

Lindsay Lohan battles the booze on New Years Eve

JUST A SIP
So much for that New Year’s resolution! Just two months out of rehab, Lindsay Lohan was caught sipping from a bottle of champagne while ringing in 2008 in Capri, Italy. “The good news,” her lawyer stated at the time, “is that Lindsay stopped herself, called her sponsor, and got herself back on track.”

Nikki Blonsky's airport brawl

VACATION NIGHTMARE
A vacation in paradise turned ugly when the family of Nikki Blonsky was involved in a brawl with the family of Top Model contestant Bianca Golden at a Turks and Caicos airport. “Things got out of hand in an argument over seats in the departure lounge,” a police source stated in August. Charges were filed and Golden’s mother ended up in the hospital while Blonsky’s father ended up in jail.

Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus forget the seatbelts

BUCKLE UP
“We got caught up in the moment of filming, and we made a mistake and forgot to buckle our seatbelts,” Billy Ray Cyrus said in a statement, following the February release of the hit 3-D movie Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, in which he and daughter Miley Cyrus were seen riding in a Range Rover without their seatbelts fastened.

John Edwards, politician gone wrong

COMING CLEAN
After denying he had an extramarital relationship, former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards confirmed in August that he had an affair with a 44-year-old woman who had worked for his campaign. “I made a very serious mistake, a mistake that I am responsible for and no one else,” the senator said in a statement. “I told [my wife] Elizabeth about the mistake, asked her for her forgiveness, [and] asked God for his forgiveness.”

Sharon Stone gets a healthy dose of bad karma

BAD KARMA?
Asked on the red carpet in Cannes about the earthquake in China that killed 80,000 people, Sharon Stone said she was “not happy with the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans” and wondered, “Is that Karma, when you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?” The actress later admitted, “I misspoke. I could not be more regretful of that mistake.” Still, she wasn’t invited to the country’s Shanghai International Film Festival, which she had attended in 2007.

David Duchovny's sex addiction gone wrong

GOING PUBLIC
“I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction,” David Duchovny admitted in a statement in August. The actor was released from rehab in October, but also released a statement saying he and his wife Téa Leoni had separated months before.

Amy Winehouse caught smoking crack on tape

CAUGHT ON TAPE
“Rehab” singer Amy Winehouse was seen smoking what The Sun claimed was a crack pipe in footage posted on the U.K. paper’s Web site in January. Police questioned the singer, but Winehouse was not arrested and no charges were filed. She was, however, initially denied a U.S. visa. It was later issued – just not in time for her to pick up her trophies in person at the Grammy Awards.

Bai Ling has worst Valentine's Day ever

WORST VALENTINE’S EVER
On Feb. 13, Bai Ling was arrested at Los Angeles International airport for allegedly shoplifting $16 worth of celebrity magazines and batteries from a terminal convenience store. Her excuse? Valentine’s Day blues. It was an “emotionally crazy” day, she said later, blaming a “huge problem of breaking up [before] Valentine’s Day.”

THE C-WORD
It was a mistake that went viral in seconds: While discussing The Vagina Monologues with playwright Eve Ensler and Meredith Vieira on the Today show, Jane Fonda said the “c-word” on live television. “It was a slip and obviously she apologizes, and so do we,” host Vieira said after a newsbreak. “We would do nothing to offend the audience. So please accept that apology.”

Miss Teen Louisiana Lindsey Evans is busted for skipping a restaurant tab and pot possession

DINE-AND-DASH
Miss Teen Louisiana Lindsey Evans didn’t only tarnish her crown, but she also lost it after getting arrested for skipping out on a $46 bill at Posados Cafe in Bossier City, La., in October. Police were summoned to the restaurant and found a purse, which contained the 18-year-old’s driver’s license and what officials suspected was marijuana.

Naomi Campbell beats down the police at the airport

AIR RAGE
She strikes again: After a disturbance aboard a British Airways plane, police officers were called to escort supermodel Naomi Campbell off the aircraft. “She threw a few things around the cabin and then spat at the cops.” Campbell pleaded guilty to four charges and was sentenced to work 200 hours of community service and to pay a $4,500 fine in June.

Tatum O'Neal gets busted for cocaine

CLOSE CALL
“I made a giant, horrible mistake that I regret and feel really ashamed and embarrassed about,” Tatum O’Neal stated after police arrested the Oscar winner for allegedly purchasing two bags of cocaine from a dealer near her Manhattan home. “I got close to relapsing,” she later told Oprah Winffrey. “It was close enough. Too close for comfort.”

**Honorable mention goes to Miley Cyrus and her digital camera.

As for the performance, Abdul said “I’m sorry, Paula,” to which Goodpseed said “it’s not over, I’m not going to stop singing just because you don’t like my voice.”

Meanwhile a rep for Abdul says that she is “deeply saddened and shocked about what transpired yesterday. My heart and prayers go out to her family.”

Paula Abdul’s Stalker Found Dead Outside Home

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Wednesday, November 12, 2008

A body was found outside Paula Abdul’s home last night.

Police sources said the victim is an alleged Abdul stalker and cops have been to the house “numerous times before” to deal with her.

The victims parents called Police at 3:00 PM to tell them their daughter was missing and that she “had an unnatural obsession” with Paula Abdul and they might want to check Abdul’s home.

The victim was found dead in a car, yards from Paula’s L.A. home. Cause of death may have been a drug overdose/suicide.

There’s no evidence of foul play. The victim has not yet been ID’d. We’re told Paula was not home and possibly shooting for “American Idol.”

Here are photos of what the victim left behind outside Paula Abdul’s house.

The woman was clearly obsessed, she had a license plate that reads “ABL LV.” There is also a picture of Paula hanging from the rear view mirror.

Creepy!

L.A. Area Hospitals Breach Celebrity Privacy

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Monday, June 9, 2008

Feds probing the alleged sale of cancer-stricken Farrah Fawcett’s medical records to The National Enquirer could find a long mole tunnel between the hospitals and the tabloids.

Daily News reports,

Former UCLA Medical Center staffer Lawanda Jackson was indicted on April 9 after allegedly leaking private info about Fawcett, Maria Shriver and 60 other patients. Now vets at the ‘bloids are wondering how long it will be before other health professionals and reporters are drawn into the investigation.

Staffers at L.A. hospitals favored by celebs have been on the payroll of the supermarket weeklies for years, based on transcripts we’ve obtained of taped conversations among dirt-diggers at Globe magazine.

The recordings, made by former Globe managing editor Jim Mitteager, capture him talking with his reporters and sources about stars who allegedly have undergone cosmetic surgery and abortions, as well as been treated for mental illness, bulimia and AIDS.

Among the celebs mentioned in the conversations are Tom Cruise, Jessica Lange, Liz Taylor, Billy Crystal, Kelsey Grammer, Magic Johnson, Roseanne Barr, Al Pacino, Paula Abdul, Frank Zappa and Vanna White.

Recorded between 1992 and 1993, the tapes suggest the impunity with which hospital workers trafficked in sensitive information.

One reporter is heard telling Mitteager that, “If Liz (Taylor) is in St. John’s Hospital,” his source there will know it. “She takes a special delight on getting s? on Liz,” says the reporter. “She has access to the computer and talks to orderlies.”

On another tape, Mitteager contends that a now-deceased TV actor “has got AIDS. The people who want to sell the story have physical proof. They want $4,000. ? They want to move fast because it’s Christmastime and they want to get paid.”

Equally impatient is the husband of a nurse, who asks if he can get “some good-faith money” for his tip. Mitteager says he’ll pay only “if we run the story.”

Mitteager bequeathed the tapes to private investigator Paul Barresi, who has offered to cooperate with prosecutors and hospital officials.

“I remember the gleeful reaction from a Globe senior editor to the news that Dinah Shore had been diagnosed with cancer,” Barresi tells us. “It made my skin crawl. Nothing has changed inside the tabs.”

A spokesman for American Media Inc., which bought The Globe in 2000, said the legality of the dealings before then “are not our responsibility.” The rep declined to comment on the current Enquirer case.

A lawyer for several celebs mentioned on the recordings told us he would ask his clients if they want to pursue legal action. “The question is whether you can sue on something that happened 15 years ago,” the attorney added. “Also, how reliable is the information the reporters are talking about.”

Publicist Stan Rosenfield, whose clients include Grammer, Robert De Niro and George Clooney, said: “It’s alarming that this criminal activity could go on so long without being detected.”

Man that’s horrible, a hospital selling private medical records — I would be so pissed off!

See the parts bolded above? How much do you want to bet, the mental patient was Tom Cruise?

Celebrities Who Were Cheerleaders

Cara Harrington @ Gone Hollywood  | Thursday, May 8, 2008

Cheerleaders Turned Musical Mavens

Paula Abdul was a dance squad queen before she became the drunk we all know and love today. Rock on with your Sharpie sniffing margarita filled rump.

Madonna was the top of the pyramid before utilizing lesbionic tactics to score press.

Cheerleaders Walking the Red Carpets

Cameron Diaz wore the oversized sweater and pleated skirt to show her school spirit.

Sandra Bullock was riding in the cheer-mobile before she set foot on a doomed bus and rescued by Keanu Reeves.

Lindsay Lohan first used her cheerleading uniform to root for the home team before using it to lure greasy socialites to her bed. I am sure it will be great for her future street corner tricks.

Cheerleaders Who Would Later Fall in Love With Botox and Paxil

Katie Couric practiced her scissor kicks before joining the D-list celeb news anchors. Oh how the mighty fall.

Cheerleaders Who Are Outwitted by Woodland Creatures and Small Children
