Dina Lohan Offers Advice to Amanda Bynes’ Parents
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars,
Dina Lohan has offered Amanda Bynes' parents advice on their out-of-control daughter.
Amanda's recent troubles - which included having her car impounded and being charged with driving on a suspended license - have been compared to the fall from grace of Dina's daughter Lindsay and she says Amanda's parents need to be there to help the 26-year-old former child star through her ongoing drama.
"You know, I'm a mother, and I feel that that's for her mother to speak about, and not me, because people have spoken for my child and myself, so I really feel that's for her parents to discuss and Amanda herself. [But] just be around... It's hard when your daughter's not, you know, over 18, and you want to let them go... and they want to, you know, feel like they're in control of themselves. So it's a very strategic place for a parent to be, but she'll be OK," she said on Entertainment Tonight.
Dina is no stranger to controversy and was recently accused of being drunk during an interview on TV show Dr Phil, something which she strongly disputes: "I was absolutely not under, intoxicated, or on any kind of medication. I was extremely upset."

Jodie Foster: Kristen Stewart Will Survive
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Child Stars,
The Beaver actress - who worked with the Twilight Saga star on Panic Room in 2001 - thinks it is important for her friend to stay strong in the wake of public scrutiny over her affair with director Rupert Sanders and though she knows the 22-year-old beauty will be changed by the incident, she wants her pal to remember the storm will eventually go away.
"My mother had a saying, 'This Too Shall Pass.' God, I hated that phrase. It always seemed so banal and out of touch, like she was telling me my pain was irrelevant. Now it just seems quaint, but oddly true ... Eventually this all passes. The public horrors of today eventually blow away. And yes, you are changed by the awful wake of reckoning they leave behind. You trust less. You calculate your steps. You survive. Hopefully in the process you don't lose your ability to throw your arms in the air again and spin in wild abandon. That is the ultimate F.U. and - finally - the most beautiful survival tool of all. Don't let them take that away from you," she wrote in The Daily Beast.

Dave Grohl: Don’t Plan to Be a Rock Star
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Alternative, Rock,
Dave Grohl says nobody should plan to become a rock star. The Foo Fighters frontman says he is "really lucky" to have made a career out of music, but advises young people that they should never set out with a specific career goal of becoming a rock star.
"Just play music and have fun. I got really lucky. I'm a high school dropout. The kind of music that we were playing back then was like punk rock and nobody dreamed of this kind of s**t happening. No career opportunity. But that shouldn't be your motivation to play music. Music should be its own reward."
Dave has also recently collaborated with his former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic on music for the soundtrack to new documentary Sound City about the studio where they recorded the iconic Nevermind album. Although they remain tight lipped, Krist has recently confirmed the collaboration, saying, "You know what was cool, I did some work with Dave, you've got to ask Dave what we did though because he told me not to tell anybody."

Kelly Rowland’s X Factor Warning for Britney
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Gossip,
The Destiny's Child hitmaker spent one season on the panel of the UK version of the show, and although she loved the experience, she admitted it can be tough.
"I'm excited for them. I'll let them know it's a lot of work. It is a lot of work, but it was definitely a great process. It is a lot of responsibility, and when you screw up or if you screw up, then everybody blames you. Simon included," she told MTV News.
However, Kelly loved having the opportunity to take part in finding the next big thing and thinks Britney and Demi will do a great job on the US series: "You might be running into the next big thing. Or, like for Britney, the next big her, or the next big Demi Lovato. I think that's really exciting for them, and they'll be a part of that, and they'll never forget that."
Jack Black’s Sex Advice for Brad and Angelina
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Engagements, Weddings,
Jack Black has advised Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie their sex life will get better once they are married.
The Hollywood couple made their engagement public last week, and Jack - who has been married to Tanya Haden for six years, with whom he has two sons, Sammy, five, and Thomas, three - thinks things will get hotter between the sheets once they officially tie the knot: "I think the sex actually improves once you've sealed the deal. It gets better. Maybe not for everyone, but for me, once we sealed the deal and we shut off all the exit holes and said, 'No, this is it. We're in it for life,' then we really let loose."

Ask Andru: How can I make my iPad louder?
In today's Ask Andru column, we get a question about an issue with the iPad that we've actually experienced ourselves for years. Ever since the release of the original iPad, it's been painfully obvious that the speaker on the Apple tablet isn't exactly up to snuff. It's fine if you're somewhere quiet, but go somewhere that has any ambient noise, and all of a sudden it's a challenge to enjoy any audio-based entertainment. So, on to the submitted question:
I love my new iPad, but I wish it were louder. It seems that everything about the new iPad is high-quality, with the exception of the speaker! Is there any way I can get more volume out of this thing?
I hear you! As I said earlier, the low volume issue has been around since the very first iPad. When the iPad 2 was released, the speaker grille was larger, and many assumed that this meant that the device would be louder. Unfortunately, despite the visual cue, the iPad 2 suffered from the same issue, and the new third-generation model (see our new iPad review) seems to have the exact same speaker as its predecessor. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to alleviate the frustration.

Madonna Asked Guy For Camera Advice
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Drama, Period, Political, Romance, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Technology, Upcoming Releases,
Madonna asked ex-husband Guy Ritchie for "technical advice about cameras" while shooting W.E..
The singer-turned-director was married to filmmaker Guy Ritchie for just short of eight years, and she admits she was keen to talk to him and pick his brain to make sure her directorial debut was as good as it possibly could be: "I gave the screenplay to Guy and shared the concepts and the stories and the ideas with him because he was interested in it from a historical point of view. Guy would give me technical advice about cameras or using digital versus film or one cinematographer being better than another - just technical things."
Despite the film not yet being released, Madonna - who is currently dating a dancer more than half her age - claims she has already begun considering ideas for future movies. "I'm thinking about possible subjects, but I am a hopeless romantic, so I'm sure that romance and love will be a part of the story."
Alec Baldwin to Charlie Sheen: Beg For Your Job Back
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Drugs, Meltdowns,
Alec Baldwin has now thrown his hat into Sheen's Korner, offering some advice to the former Two and a Half Men star.
In an online article, Baldwin cites his past experiences with executives as warrants to essentially throw in the towel in some instances and give up.
"You can't win. Really. You can't. When executives at studios and networks move up to the highest ranks, they are given a book. The book is called How to Handle Actors. And one principle held dear in that book is that no actor is greater than the show itself when the show is a hit."
He goes on to point out to Sheen that his recent image (i.e. porn stars, substance abuse, tiger blood abuse, joining Twitter) cemented producers' plans to kick him off the show. Baldwin's sage advice? Gravel at their feet.

Quote of the Day: Richard Chamberlain on Actors Coming Out of the Closet
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip,
"It’s complicated. There’s still a tremendous amount of homophobia in our culture. It’s regrettable, it’s stupid, it’s heartless, and it’s immoral, but there it is. For an actor to be working is a kind of miracle, because most actors aren’t, so it’s just silly for a working actor to say, 'Oh, I don’t care if anybody knows I’m gay' — especially if you’re a leading man. Personally, I wouldn’t advise a gay leading man–type actor to come out. ... Despite all the wonderful advances that have been made, it’s still dangerous for an actor to talk about that in our extremely misguided culture. Look at what happened in California with Proposition 8. Please, don’t pretend that we’re suddenly all wonderfully, blissfully accepted."
-Openly gay actor Richard Chamberlain discouraging other gay actors to come out of the closet. (Chamberlain can currently be seen playing Ron Rifkin's love interest on Brothers & Sisters.)

Ozzy Osbourne Offers Lady Gaga Advice
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Pop, Rock,
Despite, or because of, the fact that Ozzy Osbourne spent several years on The Osbournes, the musician feels he can dish out advice about one particular subject: overexposure.
Osbourne, who has had more than his share of media attention, said there's one particular star who might want to step away from the spotlight:
I do think Lady Gaga should take a break for a little while. She's getting to be too much, and she doesn't watch the exposure of her clothes. She's just too overexposed. She could be the next Madonna if she played her cards right. I like her, but I'm getting a bit sick of her. When I turn on the TV, I see her wearing another lamp shade or whatever. She needs to take a break, I think, for an hour or so. I love her, I think she's really, really entertaining, but she's doing a bit too much. Every day it is something else. The specialness of her is gonna get killed if she doesn't calm it down. Who manages her? Someone should whisper in her ear and say back off for a couple of months -- let people gain interest back. Let people want you, you know?
What do you think of Ozzy's comments? Do you agree with his observations ... or do you think he's being a bit hypocritical?
