Ashton Blows Stuff Up. Avril Gets Weepy

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 11:29 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 3 )

Avril Lavigne photo Singer Avril Lavigne became the latest victim of prankmeister Ashton Kutcher who "Punk'd" her after she returned to a parking garage to get her car. While she was gone, the Punk'd people posted a fake "Reserved" sign and blocked her car in with another vehicle.

When she returned, she complained to the garage attendant about being blocked in and was then asked by the man to assist him in moving the car. (First clue of a set-up.) Natch, the other vehicle mysteriously rolls out of control, hits a transformer -- which catches on fire -- then set a motorcyle on fire.

So yada yada, an upset Lavigne is yelled at by the owners of the bike and the car, then Kutcher does his jack-in-the-box pop-up act to tell her she's been punk'd, and she bursts into tears.

This is getting creepy. When is Ashton gonna get tired of this act? May his Kaballah Karma come back around to bite him in the ass.

"I think it would be funny to make one of them Lisa's boyfriend. I know they're image conscious, but I don't see what harm it would do," said Al Jean, executive producer, in an article in Hello Magazine. If the royal heart-throbs do lend their voices, they'll be counted among a slew of celebs who have done cameos on the show, including: British Prime Minister Tony Blair, The Rolling Stones, Sir Paul McCartney, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Mel Gibson.

Michael Jackson To Judge: Talk to the Hand

Michael Jackson pic Another day, another child sex assault charge, and another courtroom "no show" for pop star Michael Jackson, who was fined $10,000 yesterday for failure to appear at a New Orleans Federal civil case.

Jackson was required to appear in court in July but at the time he was at home in Los Angeles too busy dealing with the Santa Monica child molestation trial to pop over to Louisiana.

The plaintiff, Joseph Thomas Bartucci Jr., claims he was 18 in 1984 when he was lured into Jackson's limousine at the World's Fair by one of the singer's employees, then held against his will for days. He also claims he was sexually assaulted by Jackson (who would have been 26 at the time) during a cross country drive to California and back. He says the memory of the incident had been "repressed" until 2003, when he saw the coverage of the child molestation charges brought against Jackson in the California case.

The judge scheduled a conference Sept. 7 to choose a trial date although it is believed the case won't go to trial. "It's very unlikely," said Jackson's lawyer Charles Gay. "There is probably a problem with the statue of limitations."

Jude Law

Everyone riding on Planet Internet has an opinion on the size of Jude Law's wiener. (Sort of NSFW.)

Jude dude, if you're gonna be nude after four weeks of being hounded by paparazzi, at least use the George Castanza excuse: "I was in the water! There was shrinkage!"

Best headline of the bunch: "Jude Law Should Just Kill Himself." (Ha!) But seriously, hunk fans, he's blessed with a gorgeous face and his Mary Poppins popper actually looks normal.

Wilmer Valderrama to Host "Yo Momma" Trash Talk

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 4:31 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Another 70's Show alumnus is getting a reality show, Wilmer Valderrama, who plays that suave bastard Fez, will host "Yo Momma" a competition that will send him around the country in search of the best trash talkers.

AM, Nicole & Wilmer

The top two contestants each day will compete for a cash prize and bragging rights, as well as the opportunity to move forward in the tournament-style competition.

Umm, wow ...that idea like ... totally sucks., Chick magnet Wilmer should do a show where he hangs with friends like Adam (DJ AM) and Nicole. Hey, Mandy and Ashlee and Lindsay would do it, fer sure. And wouldn't that be better than hearing about Tara Reid following her new bestest friend Paris Hilton around and begging her to be on Tara's "Wild On" show (which has just been renamed "Taradise" in case you don't want your Tivo to blow up searching for it). And if you beg and whine and plead long enough, and just wear the poor girl down, eventually Paris will give in and be on your show.

Madonna Thuds the Hard Turf

Madonna pic Madonna sustained several broken bones on Tuesday, her 47th birthday, in a horseback-riding accident at her $16 million country estate in Ashcombe, just outside London.

The singer was rushed to a hospital where she was treated for three cracked ribs, a broken collarbone and a broken hand. Liz Rosenberg, her mouthpiece, said that Madonna took a spill while riding a horse she was unaccustomed to. And the horse went thickly thundering on.

Apparently, riding is a new thing for The Material Matriarch, so just about every horse is new to her. Rosenberg told the Associated Press that the star's been in the equestrian way for about "four or five months." In July, London's Mirror gossiped that Madonna's passion for riding was part of the Michigan-born singer's latest bid to morph herself into an English country wife. An image that should go smashingly with her faux British accent.

Bitches They Come, They Go: Eminem and Mariah

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 4:09 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Diva Mariah Carey is said to be upset and hurt that Eminem is playing a private voice-mail message she left for him to audiences of his "Anger Management" tour.

In a skit at his concerts, Eminem talks to the audience when suddenly, her song "We Belong Together" comes on, and then one of Mariah's messages start to play over it: "I heard you were getting back with your ex-wife. Why won't you see me? Why won't you call me? You're not calling me . . ."

As the message continues, Eminem pretends to vomit into a prop toilet and then launches into his song, "Puke" and sings "You make me sick."
