Sharon Stone Sued by Former Nanny

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues,

Sharon StoneSharon Stone's former nanny is suing the actress amid claims the Oscar winner insulted her Filipino heritage.

Erlinda Elemen was fired by the star in February 2011, after Sharon reportedly discovered she had wrongly been paid overtime, and Ms. Elemen alleges Sharon made a number of disparaging comments about Filipinos, including calling them stupid people.

According to the lawsuit, Basic Instinct star Sharon "criticized Plaintiff for frequently attending church and, on one occasion, forbade Plaintiff from reading the Bible in Plaintiff's room in Defendant's residence," and ordered her not to speak to her three kids Roan, Laird and Quinn because she did not want them "to talk" like her."

Ms. Elemen's attorney, Solomon Gresen said he hopes the suit will draw attention to the broader issue of overtime pay for domestic employees.

Earlier today, Facebook launched its new photo-sharing app, Facebook Camera. Since then, we've seen tons of comments on Facebook and Twitter from people who are making fun of the company for releasing a new app that competes with Instagram, the photo sharing app and company that Facebook just acquired for $1 billion. Really? I thought it was time that we took a closer look at why Facebook Camera makes perfect sense, and how it really doesn't compete against Instagram at all.

Justin BieberJustin Bieber almost quit music.

The "Boyfriend" singer - who releases his second album Believe next month - admits he almost gave up on his singing career as he couldn't cope with the pressure.

"There were so many times when I just wanted to say, 'Enough is enough, I don't want to do this any more,'" he said.

The 18-year-old heartthrob says it was only the love that he felt from his millions of fans that he decided to carry on. Speaking about the lyrics, "You kept my heart from falling," in one of his new songs, Justin told The Hollywood Reporter, "I think it's so important to me because it's about my fans and how much they've helped me. They really have kept my heart from falling because they've always been there and supported me and cheered me on."

Believe is set to be released on June 18.

Usher

Usher broke down in tears at allegations he was a bad father in an Atlanta court yesterday. The 33-year-old singer was accused of excessive partying by his ex-wife Tameka Foster's attorney, who showed pictures of him out at clubs while in Europe recently.

The attorney also asked him whether he took drugs to try and prove he was not a fit parent to stop him from getting further time with his children, Usher Raymond V, four and Naviyd Ely, three. According to TMZ.com, Usher admitted to smoking marijuana but said he had not done so in front of the children.

The trial will continue today.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Dance, Pop,

Lady GagaLady Gaga has vowed to perform "alone" if she has to in Jakarta.

The "Judas" hitmaker's Indonesian show - set to be the biggest in her Born This Way Ball tour's Asian leg - is in jeopardy after protests from hard line religious groups led police to refuse a license for it to go ahead, but she has not given up hope of staging a show in the nation.

"The Jakarta situation is 2-fold: Indonesian authorities demand I censor the show & religious extremist separately, are threatening violence. If the show does go on as scheduled, I will perform the BTWBall alone (sic)" she wrote on her Twitter.

Islamic groups have protested against Gaga's sexualized image, provocative dance moves and allegations she could undermine the country's moral fiber. However, fans who have tickets for the show at the 52,000-seat Gelora Bung Karno stadium on Sunday were given hope when a key religious group, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), said it was re-examining its opposition to the concert today after police said they would issue a license if Gaga can get backing from MUI and the Religious Affairs Ministry.

The final sketch during the season finale saw the actress - who has been a cast member on the show for seven years - don a cap and gown with guest host Mick Jagger acting as high school principal during a graduation scene. Kristen's character was singled out as "one particular student who is leaving this summer," and she then danced with the Rolling Stones rocker, executive producer Lorne Michaels and other cast members to the group's hit "She's a Rainbow."

Kristen then struggled to keep her emotions in check as the show's full ensemble, including Amy Poehler and Jon Hamm, appeared to sing "Ruby Tuesday, which features the line :Still I'm gonna miss you."

Network NBC have not made any official announcement about Kristen leaving the show, or commented on the rumors that Jason Sudeikis and Andy Samberg are also departing as program regulars.
