Creed's Scott Stapp Gets Punk'd at Denny's Restaurant

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 3:14 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Shout out to the kids in Gainesville, Florida, who punk'd Scott Stapp from the over-exposed maybe-Christian rock band Creed. Hilarious. The detailed story of their dastardly deed is posted on the 'net. The guy drove two hours looking to get laid but had mission failure:

"'Creed' steps into the Gainesville Denny's, wearing a wife beater and slick running pants, desperately trying to find his hookup." ... "He was the most annoying self-centered troll man I have ever met in my life."

"...And the best part is watching the other people as they notice who this guy is. 'Hey, that's the Creed guy!' they all say as he walks past them. Then, 5 seconds later and as soon as he's out of earshot: 'Wait, who cares? Creed sucks!' This is seriously the reaction of every table that I hear as he walks by. So sad, for him. Oh, and the dude is like 5'6". I'm not joking. When he walked by, he was at least (AT LEAST) 3 inches shorter than me. Midget."

Too Posh For Reading: Victoria Beckham is No Book Slut

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 10:31 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

The alter-ego of Posh Spice has just fessed up to a Spanish journalist that she doesn't read books. The Daily Mail claims that Victoria Beckham said: "I haven't read a book in my life. I haven't got enough time. I prefer to listen to music, although I do love fashion magazines."

I guess that means she hasn't even read her own autobiography "Learning to Fly", or her husband David Beckham's two autobiographies "My World" and "My Side".

So any mention of characters like Lord Voldemort, Iago, Jay Gatsby, Holden Caulfield, Atticus Finch, Marlow, SamnEric, Raskolnikov, Shylock, Big Nurse, Holly Golightly, or Humbert Humbert would go right over her head? Ten points if you got that last one.

We Won't See Nicole Richie's Wedding On Simple Life

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 9:10 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Nicole Richie has publicly stated that she will turn down any of FOX's requests to include footage and material on her upcoming wedding to fiance Adam Goldstein on "The Simple Life", saying "I would never put my own personal marriage on television."

People Magazine is reporting that while FOX has said the show could center on Paris Hilton's and Richie's competing wedding preparations, Richie says she won't go along with the plan.
, "The great thing about 'The Simple Life' is that it's a reality show but not based on my reality. It has nothing to do with my life or my home or my relationships or anything. I'm not open to anything like that."

Dang! And we were so looking forward to seeing those elephants she's wanting, even if Adam is hoping for a simple ceremony. "I want elephant rides and swans. He wants, like five people at our wedding - our close friends and family only," Nicole has said.

But hold the phone, a FOX rep told People: "The concept is still under discussion."

OMG! Damn if the Shoes don't match the Dress! Latina hottie Selma Hayek's near-perfect outfit are critiqued and praised at Go Fug Yourself, a website which usually posts snarky observations on the worst of the worst in celeb fashion disasters, but gives the occasionally Standing Ovation to a look that says super hot. But lose the red sash, Selma.

Russell Crowe's Ego KO'd in Phone Tossing Settlement

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 4:15 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

"Can you hear me now?" "Can you hear me now?" Aussie "Cinderella Man" actor and phone tosser Russell Crowe is rumored to be nearing an agreement to pay a New York hotel clerk $11 million to drop charges of assault against him. Ka-Ching!!

In the 4 a.m. incident on June 6, Crowe went to tell the Mercer hotel staff of his phone troubles, returned to his room to fetch the phone, then went back to the front desk where he threw it at Nestor Estrada, 28, cutting the clerk on the right cheekbone. "It's absolutely worthless," Crowe reportedly told him. "So I figured I'd come down and give it back to you." The Gladiator actor also allegedly hurled a ceramic bowl at the clerk before assuming a karate stance.

, Britain's Daily Mail quoted a source saying a video of the temper tantrum exists and it would almost surely result in Crowe being convicted. A conviction could cause the actor to lose his green card and his ability to work in the United States, where he earn about $25 million per film. (There's also potential jail time involved but pfffft to that scenerio. Don't believe it. Not for throwing a phone.)

The Manhattan district attorney's office said that it would be highly likely the criminal charges against Crowe could be dropped before the September 14 court date if the matter is settled out of court.

Even if the rumored figure of $10.8 million (£6 million) is highball - and it probably is - Estrada could still wind up with a very large settlement. And whatever the cost, expect others to try and bait Crowe into a fight in the hope of receiving a 3-stitch cut and a shot at $11 million buh. Cuz if a lowly hotel employee can find a better lawyer than multi-millionaire Russell Crowe, this guy is primed for picking.

Garrett Hedlund is The One To Watch from 4 Brothers

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 5:56 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 162 )

He's six-three, blond and blue-eyed, and he has only been in three films, but 20-year-old newcomer Garrett Hedlund is one good reason to go see "Four Brothers" this weekend. The film is intense, heartfelt and occasionally hilarious, and stars Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, and Andre Benjamin, aka Andre 3000 of Outkast.

Wahlberg plays the lead as hot-headed Bobby Mercer, one of four grown adopted brothers, two black and two white, from the mean streets of Detroit who return home after their foster mother is killed in a convenience store robbery. The brothers learn that there's more to the story as conspiracies are revealed and they vow to avenge their mother's murder. They go up against a baddie, and things get harrowing at times with a wild ride of adrenaline and a handful of Kleenex moments. And a lot of great music on the soundtrack.
, Three of the actors have music backgrounds, but it's Hedlund who's cast as the artistic youngest brother. Hedlund defended his talents in an interview with 365gay.com, "I did do a lot of trombone playing in school, choir in church and karaoke for fun. So I am not incompetent when it comes to music."

His character, Jack, may or may not be gay, but he is picked on by his brothers nonetheless: "I might have been teased about being gay. But you really don’t know if my character is gay or straight or asexual. He doesn’t have a boyfriend, nor a girlfriend, and talks about neither sex. He is more of a loner, happy to be with his guitar, alone in his room. But, nonetheless, I think he is the strongest of all the brothers. He might be teased a lot but he gets the job done, whatever the job may be."

Garrett was recently in "Friday Night Lights" with Billy Bob Thornton and he scored his first ever movie role in the colossal epic "Troy" playing Brad Pitt's cousin, Patroclus. Judging by these first three films, I'd say his career is off to a fabulous start and hopefully we'll be seeing a lot more of him in the future.

Kimberly Stewart Sorry For Calling Aniston "Homely"

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 4:01 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 2 )

"I actually sent her flowers today and an apology," said fugly model Kimberly Stewart after being slammed for stating her opinion that Jennifer Aniston, the blonde actress/goddess and former mate of the sexiest man alive, was homely.

It all started back in July when Kimberly told Blender Magazine: "I like Jennifer because she’s, you know, homely. She obviously has to have something else. It’s not like she’s gorgeous or anything."
, When she read the insult, Jennifer told Vanity Fair: "It literally ruined my night. I got my feelings very hurt, actually."

"It was something I said," Kimberly later explained to Access Hollywood. "It was one of those things that you say and then you bite your tongue, and you’re just like, what did I just do? Jen said that thing in Vanity Fair, and it made me feel awful, so I sent her flowers today and an apology."

Being the daughter of Rod Stewart has helped Kimberly land modeling gigs for Tommy Hilfiger, Richard Tyler and House of Field, but she is still waiting for her big acting break, after her buddy Paris Hilton couldn't pull strings to land her the "Simple Life" gig. Thanks be to God that Nicole Richie is returning and we won't have to put up with Stewart and her high opinion of herself.

Stephenie and Bobby Jon Back for Survivor: Guatemala??

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 7:18 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

The new cast of the reality show "Survivor: Guatemala" has been announced today and, while they weren't on the official list, rumors abound that uber-popular Stephenie LaGrossa and Bobby Jon Drinkard of the losing Ulong tribe on "Survivor: Palau" will be back as a surprise addition in the Guatemala game.

CBS announced the names and bios of the 16 contestants who will "embrace the ancient Maya lifestyle" and live in authentic ruins. The named contestants include former Dallas Cowboy quarterback Gary Hogeboom, 47, and Danni Boatwright, 30, a sports radio talk show host/model/actress and former 1996 Miss Kansas (she's also married to country music singer Wade Hayes).

, The number of participants is fewer for this series, and it's been speculated that perhaps Steph and Bobby Jon will be added to bring the number to 18. CBS hinted that the castaways will face "two additional surprises in the first episode that will dramatically impact how the castaways play the game." Hmmm... maybe the two star survivors will act as adversaries to the others, or perhaps captain the tribes?

The castaways will begin their adventure with a grueling 11-mile hike through a jungle full of howling monkeys when the series begins Thursday, September 15.

Bloodhound Gang is Back and Banned

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 7:12 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

We haven't seen them around for a while but Bloodhound Gang is back recording again. They will be releasing their new album "Hefty Fine" in September.

And true to form, the band's single "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" has already been banned for being too raunchy. The video's got Bam Margera cruising a phallus shaped car - which you may or may not get to see. Fear not, even if the music channels won't play it, it'll be on the net.
, So listen up, higher learners. If you're not familiar with the band and want to hear stupid offensive lyrics - BHG has got 'em. Want great hooks? Check. Don't mind outrageously demented rude, lude, and crude songs? Ummm, yeah, this band is for you. And "Hefty Fine" will no doubt deliver more of the same. (Not for consumption by the easily offended.)

Check out the interview with Lupus Thunder at www.theclebritycafe.com as he talks about his music, who he has offended, his life, and his history as a German/Russian teacher.
