Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Engagements, Rumors,

Charlie Sheen is upset people keep referring to his fiancee as a porn star.

The Anger Management actor is preparing to wed Brett Rossi, but is angry people keep referring to her adult movie past, which saw her appear in titles including Me and My Girlfriend, Fantasy Girls and My Sister's Husband, which was released last year. "It's absolutely making Charlie crazy that the media keeps referring to Brett as a porn star, because she no longer is doing that. She recently graduated from nursing school. Furthermore, her stage name is Brett Rossi, her legal name is Scottine Ross. He wants people to refer to her as Scottie, which is the name she goes by in her personal life. Charlie has told his publicist to tell media outlets to stop calling her a porn star," a source said.

Robert Pattinson Defends Kristen Stewart Rape Comment

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Rants,

Although she’s since offered an apology for comparing paparazzi to rapists, Kristen Stewart is still prodded for her choice in words. In a recent interview, however, she had her dashing vampire

co-star Robert Pattinson come to her defense. And boy did he have a lot he wanted to get off his chest:

“None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon by the media first — who were doing it specifically to get hits on their websites. That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone. All they need is to get a salacious headline and people click on it, because it’s easy. And it’s quite good being part of these Twilight films because you have to give so many interviews all the time, you can defend yourself. That’s the only way. All of us stick together, as well. There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs.”

After his tirade, Stewart pointed out how Pattinson could easily say anything and get away with it: “You’re really good, but you could say, ‘I just took a s***on the Queen’s face,’ and people would be like, ‘Oh, I love him! I love him!’”

The complete interview in EW hits newsstands this Friday.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Rants, Paparazzi Photos,

“I have had so many people say, ‘Why don’t you just play the part? Just like, go smile, talk about whatever they want you to talk about.’ It’s like, ‘I do, I really try to do that.’ I guess I should get a face transplant or something … But it’s gotten weird. I’ve like, relinquished control.”

Megan Fox Loves Domesticity, Lying to the Media

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Style, Rumors,

The mysterious and oh-so-eccentric Megan Fox claims domesticity keeps her sane.

The Jonah Hex actress - who is engaged to actor Brian Austin Green and helps raise his eight-year-old son Kassius - thinks people would be surprised to realize how much she prefers home life to wild parties.

“Oddly you wouldn’t think it, but I’m very domestic. That keeps me sane. I sort of distance myself from the Hollywood crowd. I don’t go out and socialize that way.”

The 24-year-old star admits she sometimes finds the scrutiny over her personal life “overwhelming” but thinks she has the strength to cope with fame.

“People who make it to this level of fame for whatever reason - whether deserved or not - you have to be a strong person to survive it. Because it is very difficult to be under the microscope every moment of every day. It becomes overwhelming.”

The brunette beauty recently admitted she sometimes makes up stories about herself in order to divert attention about her personal life: “In the past, I’ve been reluctant to share any bits of truth about myself or to really let people in on my reality, so I have said some things to throw people off the scent of what’s really going on in my life. So I have sort of aided the media in printing these misconceptions, which I regret.”

Cate Blanchett is Overexposed, Finds Herself Excruciating to Watch

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,

Aussie starlet Cate Blanchett wishes she had a bit more mystery about her.

The Robin Hood actress worries she has exposed too much of her personal life, meaning audiences have trouble distinguishing between her and her characters and would rather be known just for her work. The mother-of-three told Parade:

“Personally, I’d love to turn into a chameleon. I love watching performances that aren’t hampered by all that personal baggage from real life. That’s why I wonder if I’ve exposed too much of Cate Blanchett instead of the women I’ve played. It’s nice to talk about being a mother, my wonderful husband and blah, blah, blah. But at the end of the day I’d rather people focus on my work. I couldn’t be what I call one of those ‘personality performers’ who expect you to see them and not a character on the screen.”

The Oscar-winning beauty also admits she finds it “excruciating” to watch herself in films: “I find it excruciating to watch myself. It’s sort of akin to watching your home videos, but doing it in public. There’s always a moment where you feel like you’ve got your pants around your ankles. I guess it’s the desire to become better that keeps one going.”

Michael Jackson Too Shy For Madonna

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rumors,

So if Madonna and Michael Jackson were good friends, why did we never hear a collaboration out of it? The Queen of Pop thought found the King to be “too shy.”

The “Revolver” singer spent weeks working with the King of Pop several years ago, but never recorded a duet with him because Michael was scared of Madonna’s “provocative” music.

“We spent a chunk of time together, and became friends, but it never happened. I wrote a bunch of words and presented them to him, and he didn’t want to go there. He didn’t want to be provocative. And I said, ‘Well, why come to me?’ I mean, that’s like asking Quentin Tarantino to not put any violence in his films. I felt like he was too inhibited, too shy.”

Madonna paid tribute to Michael in an emotional speech at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month. Even though she used the occasion to “say goodbye” to her old friend, the star admits that she can’t stop thinking about Michael, and the torment he faced at the hands of the media.

Barack Obama: The Accessible President

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Videos,

If you didn’t catch him giving out his March Madness picks on ESPN, trading quips on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno or looking appropriately grave during his in-depth 60 Minutes interview, you might have been among the thirty million who watched Barack Obama’s second press conference.

During the first sixty-odd days of his reign as President of the United States, Obama has been on almost every television channel at least once. You could build a respectable video library with clips of his appearances found on YouTube alone.

We now know that this national leader thinks riding on Air Force One is “cool,” enjoys a game of basketball whenever he can get a chance and hopes to soon take on the health care problems of the country. We know who he’s rooting for in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, that he’s not a great bowler and that he pretty much has his hands full dealing with the AIG bonuses (and their repercussions).

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies, Features,

Lynne Spears, mother to Britney and Jamie Lynn, has been making the media rounds to promote her book “Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World,” but she has a few things to say about politics and teen pregnancy, too. This celebrity mom isn’t afraid to use her turn in the spotlight to talk about touchy subjects, and how she compares (or doesn’t) to potential Vice President Sarah Palin.

In an interview with Newsweek, Spears sounds off about the difference in the way the media covered two somewhat similar stories: Jamie Lynne Spears, 16, pregnant and unwed and Bristol Palin, 17, pregnant and unwed.
