Kevin Smith’s Southwest Airlines Rants Continue
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Rants,
Warning to companies everywhere: Don’t ever piss off popular celebrities with a Smodcast and a Twitter account.
According to director Kevin Smith (Clerks), he was asked to get off a flight from Oakland to Burbank yesterday because he was deemed too big to fit into his single seat. This Southwest Airlines ejection has since turned into a PR disaster for the low-cost airline.
Despite his insistence that he fit comfortably in his space (he says he “fit between the arm rests & was able to buckle his seat belt w/o an extender”), Smith stated through his active Twitter account that he was told that he “wasn’t going to be allowed to sit there” because he was “a safety risk.”

VIDEO: John Mayer Makes Emotional Apology During Concert
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Hook-ups, Videos,
I’m not sure what girls love more: A man who talks about their sexual exploits in a magazine, or a man who isn’t afraid to get emotional in public. John Mayer - I now see your appeal.
As proven over the past couple of days, months, years—Mayer is never at a loss for words. And last night, the singer proved that once again during a Nashville concert at the Sommet Center.
Earlier in the day, the 32-year-old was under fire for a number of controversial comment he made during a recent Playboy interview. In addition to comparing sex with Jessica Simpson to “crack cocaine,” he compared his genitalia to white supremacist David Duke and made a reference to the N-word.

Why was Kendra Wilkinson Crying After the Super Bowl?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Television,
Seeing your husband lose in the Super Bowl could make any footballer wife upset. But according to Kendra Wilkinson, Hank Baskett’s game playing wasn’t why she snapped crying by the paparazzi.
After pictures of an emotional Wilkinson were splashed across sites like TMZ, the new mother hit her Twitter account to set the record straight. “I wasn’t cryin cuz of the damn game it’s cuz the paparazzi have no soul..they wouldn’t leave me n family alone!!!!,” she explained. “people like to twist this stuff..we asked them to stop cuz of the baby n they were way too close n they didn’t care at allllllll.”
I completely agree, Kendra—that’s a perfectly understandable reason for your tears. But let’s be honest—it had to be disappointing to see your Indianapolis Colt lose that onside kick, right?

Actress Brittany Murphy Dies at Age 32
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Obituaries, Rumors,
UPDATE: A coroner’s official says Murphy may have died of natural causes.
Actress Brittany Murphy, best known for her work on 1995’s Clueless, was pronounced dead today in Los Angeles. She was only 32.
According to reports, Murphy was discovered unconscious by her mother in her shower. A call from the home of Simon Monjack, Brittany’s husband of 2 1/2 years, was made around 8:00 AM.
Paramedics attempted to revive the 8 Mile star who had apparently gone into cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, she was pronounced dead on arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Although Brittany has not starred in any big screen hit in some time, she had been the subject of recent tabloid talk. In late November, Murphy was replaced on a film being shot in Puerto Rico. It was rumored that that Brittany and Simon’s questionable behavior - including possible drug use - was behind her dismissal. This recast lead to an SNL skit on December 5. (You can view that clip after the jump.)

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Dating, Rumors,
Jessica Simpson is dating Billy Corgan.
The 29-year-old singer/actress is said to have “fallen hard and is smitten” with the 42-year-old Smashing Pumpkins singer since they started “officially dating” some months ago. Unfortunately, her friends don’t exactly approve.
“They think he’s too old for her. No one takes any of her boyfriends seriously anymore because she has had so many. They’re sick of all of them being ‘The One,’” a source told E!.
The pair were first romantically linked in November when they met at a party in Los Angeles.
“She has completely fallen for Billy and his easygoing, smart attitude. She says she wants to take things a lot further,” a source added. “She had secretly been crushing on him for months and felt there was a connection at the party. As the night went on things got more intense and they talked with their faces just inches apart.”

It’s Time for the Tiger Woods Jokes
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Legal Issues, Videos,
Tiger Woods could write a book on how one goes from celebrated athlete to the butt of all the best new jokes in two weeks or less. In fact, a scathing, self-effacing tell-all might be his best route out of this whole media mess. But for now, public sentiment has moved from shock to silliness - and the comedians are starting to cash in with laughs.
SNL spoofed him, David Letterman cracked wise about him, even Jim Carrey delivered a zinger or two. Today, Marlon Wayans took the joke war to the mobile market with some right-between-the-eyes Twitter updates.

Twitter Match for Emmy Rossum and Adam Duritz
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Dating,
Some celebrities date people they work with. Others are set up by mutual agents. Then there are those who actually meet each other online. Dare actress Emmy Rossum recently admitted that her relationship with Adam Duritz actually started as as a dare…on Twitter.
“I was on tour with the band this summer. They invited me actually on Twitter. That’s how we met – on a dare. They dared me to come sing with them a song that I’d never sung before ... So I ended up on tour with the band, and it was very, very fun,” the 23-year-old told a radio station.
So what exactly does Emmy see in the 45-year-old Counting Crows frontman? “I get why chicks dig him,” the soon-to-be divorced Rossum recently told People. “He’s extremely kind, incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, creative and respectful.” Hopefully those qualities will keep her around longer than both Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston, previous Duritz flames.

Nicole Richie Being Treated for Pneumonia
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television,
Nicole Richie is back in the hospital, and it has nothing to do with maternity.
The reality TV star was recently admitted after a string of days feeling under the weather. “Nicole has checked into Cedars-Sinai where she is being treated for pneumonia. She is doing well,” Nicole’s rep said.
Over the weekend, the mother of two had spoken about not feeling well. She wrote on her Twitter page: “ok cold, it’s been 6 days. Lets part ways graciously & keep it moving.”
Earlier this week, Nicole was granted a restraining order against two paparazzi who she claims caused her recent car accident. The 28-year-old socialite appeared in court to testify how the two male photographers, Eduardo Arrivabene and Ivon Miguel, had been hounding her constantly. The judge ruled the two men are to stay 50 yards away from Nicole and her two children for the next three years.
