Bobby Brown Charged with DUI
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues,
Bobby Brown has been charged with driving under the influence (DUI).
The New Edition singer was stopped by officers on Monday when they saw him using his cellphone behind the wheel and he failed a field sobriety test, leading to the charges being brought today, as well as an additional charge of driving with a suspended license.
According to gossip website TMZ, Bobby gave a .12 blood alcohol level when he was tested at the scene. Both offenses are misdemeanors and carry a maximum penalty of six months in jail, as well as a $1,000 fine for each charge.
Earlier today, a lawyer acting for Bobby issued a statement to say the star wasn't "driving erratically" when he was stopped by police, though she made no mention of the failed sobriety test. "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty and Mr. Brown was not driving erratically. He was speaking on his cell phone. Mr. Brown has not been convicted of anything associated with this incident. Mr. Brown is taking this matter seriously and an investigation is underway. The legal process shall run its course," said lawyer Tiffany Feder.

Katy Perry Takes a Stand Against Bullying
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television,
Katy Perry has asked her fans to join her in taking a stand against bullying.
The "Firework" singer is supporting documentary Bully which tells the stories of five tormented children and their families, and has asked fans to join her in the cause. "13 million kids get bullied every year. Today take a stand with me," she wrote on her Twitter, followed by a link to the movie's site.
Many more celebrities also pledged their support for the film - to be released on Friday - by retweeting the same message and link, including Pink, Kesha, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Seacrest, Zooey Deschanel, Kim Kardashian, Hugh Jackman, Jessica Simpson, Mariah Carey and many more.
Bully caused controversy this week when it was initially given a given an 'R' rating by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), meaning that anyone under 17 would need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian to see the film, meaning it would miss most of its target teenage audience. However, following an online campaign, the film's distributor, the Weinstein Company, decided to release the film without a rating which is an option open to any producer or director.

Khloe Kardashian’s Quit Decision Backed by PETA
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Rumors,
Khloe Kardashian has been praised by PETA after quitting the group.
The socialite announced yesterday she was resigning from the animal rights organization - which is formally known as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - after they voiced their support for a woman who flour-bombed her sister Kim, but their parting will remain amicable after the group admitted they understood her decision and wish her well.
"We appreciate that Khloé will remain on the animals' side by not wearing fur--that's what counts. If one of our volunteers is responsible, it doesn't alter the fact that no animal deserves to be electrocuted, shot or poisoned for a bit of fur clothing. Khloé is just defending her sister, and we know she has a good heart, so we wish her well. We just wish she also had more influence on her sister," a spokesperson for PETA told E! News.
Though PETA denied responsibility for the attack on Kim, they said they will support the assailant - who has been described as a "militant" member of the organization - if charges are brought.

Justin Bieber is "figuring out" love.
The 18-year-old singer - who is in a relationship with Selena Gomez - admits his ideas of dating and romance have changed now he is getting older.
"When you're 13, that's when you're first trying to figure out what it means -- that's kind of a puppy love. Now, being 18 and trying to figure out what it actually really means is a totally different story," he said.
Justin released his new single "Boyfriend" yesterday and admits he is hoping the track will give him a whole new set of fans: "I was younger and my voice was higher [on my old songs]. My music was geared to a younger audience. Now I'm broadening my audience. We wanted to show people that I can evolve."
Although Justin's new musical direction has been the subject of much speculation, he insists he doesn't pay attention to other people's opinions because he knows he has to take charge of his own career. "There's so many people that are going to give me opinions, but I'm the only one who can ultimately make those decisions, because I'm going to have to live with my career for the rest of my life. So I thought this was the perfect single. It was me all the way; it is a representation of me."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Dating, Engagements, Weddings, Child Stars, Photos, Rumors,
Jamie Bell and Evan Rachel Wood are rumored to have tied the knot.
The pair - who met on the set of Green Day's video for "When September Ends" in 2005 - have been photographed wearing rings on their wedding fingers, fueling speculation they are now husband and wife.
Evan 24, was pictured wearing a silver ring with a diamond while Billy Elliot star Jamie, 26, had a gold band on during a walk in Venice, California, on Saturday. A source told RadarOnline.com back in December that Jamie had started looking for rings and was planning to pop the question.
"He hasn't made a purchase yet, but he is starting to seriously look and has met with a few jewelers," an insider said at the time.
The couple split after just a year of dating and Evan went on to get engaged to rocker Marilyn Manson before reuniting with Jamie last summer. "Evan and Jamie were really young and just getting going in their careers when they first met and they just weren't ready. Now that they are older and both excelling in their professional lives, I think they feel ready to take their relationship to the next level," the insider added.

Lindsay Lohan's probation will not be affected by a hit-and-run allegation.
The troubled actress is due to make her final court appearance on Thursday, and though she has been accused of hitting club manager Thaer Kamal with her Porsche and leaving the scene, the claim will not count against her.
According to gossip website TMZ, a report submitted by the probation service mentions the incident and the fact that it is under investigation by police, but discounts the claim and gives it no weight as charges have not been filed against Lindsay, nor has she been arrested. "The probationer [Lindsay] is in compliance with the terms and conditions of probation," the report says.
The document also notes that the actress will complete court-ordered counseling sessions today and her final stint of community service tomorrow. Judge Stephanie Sautner has said that she will terminate the probation - which stems from a 2007 driving under the influence conviction - if Lindsay is still in compliance.
