The only thing more childish then DMX’s scoff at proper court etiquette, is the Miami Judge demanding the rapper’s lawyer tell his client the witty comeback he came up with after DMX dropped the F-Bomb and stormed away from the video feed hearing.
The artist, born Earl Simmons, was handcuffed outside of a Wall-Mart store in Miami August 14th on a Arizona bench warrant issued for the New York native after he skipped a pretrial conference on four counts of possessing drug paraphernalia and one count of possession of marijuana.
John McCain has utilized almost every television commercial in his campaign as a means of slamming Obama Barack — even calling him a “celebrity“. Meanwhile, Barack has mostly focused on his own merits.
Well, Barack is finally on attack. This election is going to be extremely fun to watch. Can you imagine how dirty things will get by November?
Kim Kardashian and Carmen Electra recently sat down for an interview about their upcoming comedy, Disaster Movie.
In the clip, Kardashian praises directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer - the geniuses behind Scary Movie, Epic Movie and Date Movie - for being the absolute best to work with.
Amanda Beard got naked, again, this time for a cause. But the dirty Commie Chinese tried to keep her down.
Olympic swimming gold medalist Amanda Beard had to launch her naked, anti-fur campaign poster outside the Athletes’ Village on Wednesday after Chinese authorities canceled a planned unveiling, citing safety concerns.
In a poster for the animal rights group PETA, the reigning 200-meter breaststroke champion appears naked in front of the U.S. flag and the slogan “Be comfortable in your own skin. Don’t wear fur.”
Jason Baker, an Asia-Pacific spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said the launch was “a bit more dramatic than we had planned” after Chinese security officials visited a hotel where an official news conference had been scheduled and shut it down. “From what I’ve been told from the hotel, the public security bureau showed up at midnight and told them our specific event had to be canceled for safety reasons, without going into any specifics,” Baker said. “When I arrived at 8 a.m., there were public security officials in the press conference room we had booked. “Amanda didn’t want her voice to be silenced, so we went ahead and arranged something else — we never knew if we were going to be stopped at any point.”
Baker said the protest was not against China and did not interfere with the Olympics. Police and security saw the launch going ahead outside the south gate of the Athletes’ Village but did not interfere.
“It was a sexy ad really designed for the U.S. market. It was positive and it was (supposed) to be done in a private function room,” Baker said. “I’m surprised they were so concerned, given we’ve done similar (things) with Asian celebrities in the past.”
Beard, 26, who has posed nude in men’s magazines, said she decided to participate in the PETA campaign because she loved animals and was horrified to see how fur was produced for fashion in some places.
She said the Olympics was the perfect forum to get out a positive message, but now she was concentrating entirely on competition. “It’s an important issue — I’m proud to be part of this,” she said. “The more I’ve heard about what happens to the animals … fur ripped off them when they’re still alive — it’s heart breaking.” “I have seen a lot of the videos, and (it) brings me to tears,” the four-time Olympian said in a PETA statement. “What (some people) think is pretty is actually something that’s very gruesome and gross.”
Amanda Beard, though, is awesome and not at all gross. PETA had this to say:
Swimmer Amanda Beard might be the sexiest and most compassionate U.S. Olympic athlete of all time. Need proof? Check out the anti-fur ad that she did—naked—for PETA.
Even with her busy and demanding training schedule, Amanda took the time to bare her skin to help save animals’ skins. With the tagline “Be Comfortable in Your Own Skin. Don’t Wear Fur,” Amanda posed nude to help raise awareness of the cruelty inherent in the fur industry.
There’s also a video interview with Amanda about the making of the poster.
As you all know, John McCain has already started hitting below the belt, calling Barack Obama “the world’s biggest celebrity”.
McCain even went as far as comparing Barack to Paris Hilton.
Well… she’s pissed.
UPDATE (James):
For those unable to watch the video, ABC News’ Tahman Bradley has the rundown:
Sitting on a lawn chair in a bathing suit, Ms. Hilton says to camera, “Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity too. Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising change like that other guy. I’m just hot.”
She continues, “But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means that I’m running for president.”
And so, since Hilton has interpreted the comparison to Sen. Obama, D-Ill., as meaning that she too is qualified to be leader of the free world, Hilton, jokingly, lays out her campaign platform.
The video has some more tough words for the “wrinkly white-haired” Arizona Senator: “He’s the oldest celebrity it the world, like super old. Old enough to remember when dancing was a sin and beer was served in a bucket,” a narrator says, with a picture of Larry King and then Yoda to drive home the age point.
In the unkindest cut of all, McCain’s spokesperson Tucker Bounds tells TMZ that on the subject of energy, Paris is deeper than Barack. He says, “Sounds like Paris is taking the ‘All of the Above’ energy approach that John McCain has advocated — both alternatives and drilling. Perhaps the reality is that Paris has a more substantive energy plan than Barack Obama.”
Naturally, all of this has resulted in some enlightening discussion on the issues that matter most to Americans.
Playgirl magazine is no more, Noah at Media Bistro reports:
Nicole Caldwell, Playgirl’s editor-in-chief, just emailed confirmation that the magazine is indeed shuttering its print operation.
“Playgirl is going all-Web. The last print issue will be the Jan/Feb 2009 magazine, which comes out Nov. 18,” Caldwell writes.
Details of the site’s look are scarce, but it will feature more videos and pictorials and less editorial content. In other words, just like Playboy’s site.
As it is rather well known that the vast majority of the publication’s readers were not of the female gender, one is tempted to say that the gay men of America will be in mourning - except that they’re the very ones whose waning interest has caused the magazine to close up shop. With the advent of the web and the sheer ubiquity of much more extreme material - an ubiquity so far-reaching that it seems one can’t escape running into gay viewing matter even when it is the last thing one would wish to lay eyes upon - publications like Playgirl which pretended to target female readers no longer serve any purpose, and unlike Playboy, gay men have no female companions to worry about pacifying with excuses like “I’m only reading it for the articles!”
I’m amazed that any of these publications have survived the Internet, to be honest.
In it you’ll notice that some of the footage had to be edited out because Glen “accidentally” caught Brooke’s boisterous body on film and I think I also saw a censored nipple some where around the -01:23 mark.
Avril Lavigne sex tape…eh…why not! Lavigne has possibly joined the celebrity sex tape for press train.
It is really more like a sex clip. For less than a minutes a chick with Avril-like extensions has sex with a man while listening to her song “Don’t Tell Me.”
I am not sure what logic this is to assume that because she resembles the body type of Avril and is listening to one of her own songs, that she must be the bitchy Lavigne.
Besides who listens to their own music while humping? That is what is weird about this.
Rush will be making their first U.S. television appearance in more than thirty years on Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report.”
The Canadian band Rush, which hasn’t performed on U.S. television in more than three decades, will play their classic “Tom Sawyer” on the Comedy Central show Wednesday (11:30 p.m. EST). The Geddy Lee-led trio, which is currently on tour, hasn’t played on U.S. television since 1975.
Rush is only the latest act to perform on “The Report,” which has steadily edged closer to “Ed Sullivan Show” territory. With increasingly frequent musical performances, “The Report” has grown a variety-show impulse, evident in other upcoming bookings. The rapper Nas will perform on July 23, Toby Keith will return for a second performance on July 28 and Crosby, Stills and Nash will play on July 30.
The Stephen Colbert-hosted comedy show was originally launched as a parody of conservative political punditry — and shows like “The O’Reilly Factor” do not make a habit of hosting music performances. But “The Report” circus has expanded into musical realms, often with its sonorous host joining in. John Legend, Neil Young, R.E.M., Tony Bennett, Peter Frampton, Willie Nelson, Barry Manilow, John Mellencamp, the Roots and Carole King have all performed on the show.
Cool. Here’s a video of Rush playing “Tom Sawyer,” albeit not on “The Colbert Report.”
