Quote of the Day: Claire Danes on Reading Tabloids
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies,
“I totally read gossip magazines if I’m at the gym or having my nails done. I don’t like them. I’m not for them because I don’t like being chased by paparazzi. But they satisfy a kind of id, like a grubby, nosy part of ourselves. But I’m wary of it because it’s laced with meanness. Especially with the anonymity of the Internet, it’s a reflection of our less appealing selves that wouldn’t be so apparent if we were all in the same room together.”
-Me and Orson Welles’ Claire Danes revealing one of her guilty pleasures.

Mischa Barton Happy With Hospital Stint
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: D-List, Television, Meltdowns, Rumors,
The Beautiful Life: TBL actress Mischa Barton thinks that being sectioned was a “good” thing.
The recently unemployed star was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold earlier this year but says she appreciated the chance to take time out and reassess her life.
“I went to the hospital because of pain with my wisdom teeth and I ended up getting ‘put in,’ but that’s because I was so overwhelmingly stressed out and upset. I think it was my teeth and the stress of having a new job and traveling. I was miserable. Actresses aren’t given the time to recover after stuff like that - you’re expected to bounce back from surgery and work right away again. I was shocked it went that far but I think it was necessary for me to take that time out. I’m so much more settled and calm now. Ultimately, it was a positive thing.”

Janet Jackson Broke Down Before VMA Performance
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Meltdowns,
Janet Jackson said the realization of her brother Michael’s passing only hit her three months after his death.
The “Make Me” singer said she had avoided everything that could remind her of her brother after he suddenly passed away in June, until she was about to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards in September, when she saw a huge picture in tribute to him.
Janet, 43, said, “It hit me before I was about to do the performance, and it hit me when we were in rehearsal. There was a huge image of him on this screen, and I started to cry. I had to step away.”
She also said that she is continuing to come to terms with the singer’s death, of acute intoxication by the anesthetic Propofol, but that she feels in future things will get easier.
She added, “You know, a day doesn’t go by where you don’t think about him. It’s always there, in every sense. “But it will get better. It’s not easy, but I know with time it will get easier. But it will never be easy. It’s my brother.”

Beyonce Knowles: I Just Sacrificed Life
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Style,
Singer and actress Beyonce Knowles said she has sacrificed her entire life in becoming successful.
The “Single Ladies” singer said that the pressures of celebrity have taken everything away from her that would allow her to enjoy a normal lifestyle.
“I just sacrificed life. Being able to walk down the street and being able to make mistakes and not have it recorded for ever. Being able to have regular relationships and dates. Just regular, normal things that people probably don’t even think about. Sometimes it’s hard.”
Beyonce, 28, also said that during her career - which has so far spanned 14 years recording with Destiny’s Child and as a solo artist - she has hardly ever had any chance to take a break. She added, “I haven’t had longer than a couple of months off ever in my life, since I was 15. But I was raised that anything that’s worth anything takes a lot of sacrifice. And when anything is too easy for me I get scared.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Charity, Kind Acts, Rumors,
Shakira thought her parents were “the most incompetent business people in the world” when she was eight.
The “She Wolf” singer said she was upset and frightened when her father, a jeweler, went bankrupt and had to sell most of the family possessions when she was a child. The experience did, however, lead them give her a lesson she has never forgot about true poverty.
“I couldn’t believe my parents! I thought they were the most incompetent business people in the world! And I was so upset. My dad and my mom took me to the park that day, where all the kids who were orphans are sniffing glue to deal with the tragedy of their own lives and hunger and the solitude of their lives. Little kids, like my age, sniffing glue and barefoot. They just wanted to show me another reality that was much worse than mine. Those images of those kids left a huge impression.”
Shakira, who found fame in her native Columbia as a teenager, later went on to establish the Pies Descalzos Foundation, a charity which sets up special schools for underprivileged children across her home country. She is also a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador and regularly performs at benefit concerts around the globe.
In February she also opened a new $6 million school in her hometown Barranquilla sponsored by herself and the Pies Descalzos Foundation.

Workaholic Lady Gaga
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drunk, Parties,
Pop singer Lady Gaga never gets drunk because she is too focused on her career.
The singer claims she doesn’t go out and party hard because she doesn’t want a hangover affecting her work and she struggles to motivate herself to go clubbing.
“I don’t go to nightclubs. You don’t see pictures of me falling out of a club drunk. I don’t go - and that’s because I usually go and then, you know, a whiskey and a half into it, I got to get back to work. Because I love my work so much, I find it really hard to go out and have a good time.”
Lady Gaga has revealed new song “Telephone,” which is featured on her latest album The Fame Monster, is about her strict work ethic and fear of fun.
“Something that I have or fear is never being able to enjoy myself. That’s my fear - that the phone’s ringing and my head’s ringing. Whether it’s a telephone or it’s just the thoughts in your head, that’s another fear.”
