Top 10 Brattiest Brats are Slackers, Thieves & Pranksters

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 6:14 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Inside TV recently posted their list of the "All Time Top 10 TV Brats" and included the like of mob kid Anthony Soprano (Robert Iler), Justin Berfield of "Malcolm" and Sarah Gilbert of "Rosanne" as the best of the young brat characters.

Iler was most un-stoked for getting busted in real life back in 2001 for mugging a couple of kids for $40 bucks, then the cops smacked a pot possession charge on him as well when he was searched. Bummer. So he joined fellow cast member Tony Sirico as being the only goodfellas on the show with authentic rap sheets.

And here is Inside TV's Top Ten Brat List:

NO. 10.: frontier kid Nellie Oleson (Alison Arngrim), who tortured saintly selfless Laura Ingalls in "Little House on the Prairie."

NO. 9.: Bud Bundy (David Faustino) who obsessed over sex in "Married: with Children."

NO. 8.: Reese (Justin Berfield) the bully and goof on "Malcolm in the Middle."

NO 7.: Alex Taggart (Oliver Davis) of the "ER" stole a severed finger and ran off with all his mom's credit cards.

Angelina Jolie Highly Regarded by Journalists. Other Celebs Rate Far Less

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 3:55 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 1 )

Kudos and welcome home to Ange and adorable little Zahara (cool name) who arrived back in L.A. over the weekend. Reports are saying that the actress and her newly adopted daughter from Ethopia are staying at Brad Pitt's Malibu home.

According to Junketeering Journalists, Angelina Jolie is "one of the most fun celebrities to interview. She's always in jeans and without make-up." Not so well-spoken of, are other celebrities who two veteran New York-based junketeers told the New York Post don't belong up on a pedestal:

"Tom Cruise has only two ways of expressing himself: He either wields a 'dead-serious expression' like Ben Stiller's Blue Steel stare in 'Zoolander,' or he just 'laughs and laughs inexplicably' flashing his million-dollar choppers. It's disturbing. You don't know what he's laughing about."

"Jennifer Lopez is 'gorgeous, but totally business-like, terrible. There was nothing real about it. I was the only one who dared ask her something about Marc Anthony. She responded with a non-answer, but her Miramax publicist muscled me after it. I said, 'See you later,' and the publicist said, 'I doubt it.'"
, "Brad Pitt, up close, lives up to his last name. He has pockmarks the size of the La Brea Tar Pits and his teeth are yellow and cigarette-stained."

"Harrison Ford proved why his bad temper is so well-known. When I mentioned the word 'charisma,' and asked him why he's so in demand to play heroes on screen, he cut me off, saying, 'If you want to talk about charisma, go find Ricky Martin.' I was speechless after that."

Loud mouthed Lil' Kim Goes to Prison for Keeping Quiet

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 3:46 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 7 )

Grammy-award winning rapper Lil' Kim was sentenced Wednesday to spend a year and a day in prison for not talking to a federal grand jury. Kim lied to protect her friends who were involved in a shootout outside a Manhattan radio station in 2001.

The gun fight was between Kim's entourage and the rival rap group, Capone-N-Noreaga. One man was wounded as 22 shots were fired from six different guns. Before sentencing, Lil' Kim spoke to reporters about her false testimony and tearfully said, "At the time I thought it was the right thing to do but I now know it was wrong."
, Kim, 30, also asked the judge to go easy on her: "I have worked hard my entire life for everything I have, everything I have accomplished. I ask you to consider my entire life's work and not just the days in the grand jury and on the witness stand in the courtroom. I'm a God-fearing, good person."

He must have taken it into consideration, since she could have gotten up to 20 years behind bars.

The rapper reports to prison Sept. 19. Her lawyers are hoping she will be able to do her time in the facility in Danbury, Conn., so that she can be closer to her mother.

Is Danbury a real jail or a minimum security facility? Kim probably won't want to chill in general prison population after singing "paybacks a bitch motherfucker, believe me naw i aint gay this aint no lesbo flow" ...

Madonna Admits to Being a Hypocrite

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 11:01 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 3 )

In another sign of the Apocalypse, pop diva Madonna, who views herself as a good role model, now says she may have taken things a bit too far in her younger days in an attempt to be a star. Oy vey!

The 46-year-old entertainer who's shtick included kissing Britney Spears on stage, burning crosses, publishing a porn book, and posing in Playboy, says she regrets promoting her celebrity based on sex.

"Sometimes I was being overtly sexy for the sake of showing off when I didn't need to be. I think I hurt myself," the singer recently told Ladies' Home Journal. "One minute I was saying 'believe in yourself' and the next minute I was saying 'just be sexually provocative'. I was letting it pump up my ego, thinking 'aren't I great, they're writing about me, my picture is on the cover of every magazine, I'm so fabulous.'"
, That was the old Catholic Madonna. She wants you to believe the New Jewish Madonna Esther has completed her RE-INVENTION as: British (with an accent!), a devotee of Kaballah (and serious about observing the Shabbat! All without being a practicing Jew!), and a children's book author. Bohica. The Material Slut is promoting herself as a bourgeoisie responsible parent so that you'll buy her books and stuff and keep the income rolling in. So, is there a hidden meaning to the title of her new children's book, "Lotsa de Casha"?

Brooke Shields to Cruise: Stick to Aliens

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 4:41 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 3 )

Actress Brooke Shields is telling fellow actor Tom Cruise to back off his criticisms -- and get that alien rectal probe removed.

Okay, she didn't exactly say that second part, but she's furious that Cruise has publically criticized her battle with depression and addiction to medication. He mashed on her last week for seeing a therapist and taking meds (instead of vitamins) to help her through her depression after the birth of her baby.

She fumes: "His comments are dangerous. He should stick to saving the world from aliens, and let women who are experiencing postpartum depression decide what treatment options are best for them." She added that she wouldn't take advice from someone who devotes his life to creatures from outer space.
, Ooooooh, low blow, and she probably wasn't kidding, even though she was referring to his upcoming alien movie "War of the Worlds" and not his belief in the teachings of Scientology, whose followers are opposed to taking drugs for psychiatric problems and believe high doses of vitamins and minerals are a better cure.

She says she is currently weaning herself off the anti-depressant medication Paxil so she and husband Chris Henchy can have another child.

Cruise told Access Hollywood in an interview last week: "I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented women, but look at where has her career gone."

"Doctor" Cruise, a cheerleader for Scientology, which condemns mind-altering prescriptions of any kind, says: "When someone says (medication) has helped them, it is to cope, it didn't cure anything. There is no science. There is nothing that can cure them whatsoever." Instead, Cruise, 41, suggests that women like Brooke should take "vitamins" and use "exercise" to cure their ailments, and warns that what Shields is promoting is "irresponsible."

Then, he couldn't resist one more zinger: "Look, is she happy? Is she really happy?"

A few weeks ago, Cruise was boasting that Scientology was the best thing for helping anyone addicted to drugs. When German magazine Spiegel asked him if he saw it as his "job" to recruit new followers to the cult, they had the following conversation --

Cruise: "I'm a helper. For instance, I myself have helped hundreds of people get off drugs. In Scientology, we have the only successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. It's called Narconon."

Spiegel interviewer: "That's not correct. Yours is never mentioned among the recognized detox programs. Independent experts warn against it because it is rooted in pseudo-science."

Cruise: "It's a statistically proven fact that there is only one successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. Period."

Spiegel interviewer: "With all due respect, we doubt that."

Ozzy & Sharon Pass Swearing Test. Can Host Show

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 5:55 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

In a sign of the coming apocalypse, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, every rock generation's favorite parents, are set to guest host an afternoon talk show on British TV.

The two apparently survived a "grueling" two-hour long test where cuss words were strictly forbidden. TV executives are sort of convinced that the pair could actually talk for an hour without saying "f**k" every other word. (Right. And monkeys will fly outta my butt) They are now being primed by producers at British network ITV to replace "The Paul O'Grady Show" when the host goes on vacation.

One source gushed to the Daily Star: "Sharon and Ozzy agreed not to swear during their interview and kept their word. They didn't say a single F-word or any swear word - during the whole two hours they were at the studios!"
, In fact, the beloved mumbling Prince of Darkness DOES make great conversation even when he's understood not swearing. Witness his appearance on the Carson Daly's show when he offered up this TMI, "I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't smoke. In fact I'm boring now and my only vice is masturbation." You see? No cussing -- but Too Much Information.

Ashlee Simpson's Unreal Reality Tour

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 3:43 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 2 )

Television brought her into our homes, now Ashlee Simpson, the pop-rocker with the over-hyped career is out on a 2-month tour and coming to a stage in your neighborhood.

The "Autobiography Live!" tour kicked off last week on February 18th in L.A. and will promote Ashlee's album, "Autobiography" which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart earlier this year (shocking but true).

Like her older sister, gummy-pop singer Jessica Simpson, Ashlee is the star her own MTV reality show. The second season of "The Ashlee Simpson Show," began airing in January.

Ashlee's got the look -- all dyed black hair, faux 'tude, and bee-sting size lips (and butt chin) -- and she's easier to deal with than her completely fake sister, Jessica. Okay, so Jessica sings better and her husband is pretty, but that airhead dumb blonde act is just barfulous. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing Ashlee is the smart one in the family. (I'll bet she knows that Chicken of the Sea is tuna and not chicken.)

, Sure, she made a mess of the hoedown on SNL but it's tuff to sing live, as she proved again at the Orange Bowl Halftime Show. People should understand that it takes long hours to tweak a record and make it sound great in the studio. But live? Ashlee, you still need singing lessons.

"For me, rock is something I've always listened to -- Blondie and the Pretenders and whatnot," Ashlee told an interviewer recently. "Rock is something I've wanted to do because a lot of the women had a lot of power, and they always had something to say." That's EDGY, Ash. Like, Lite POP edgy.

Memo to Ashlee: Rock stars play their own instruments and write their own music. If the record company does it for you, then chances are -- you're going to be manufactured pop star. You are a product, that's all. A record company is NOT going to let YOU dictate to THEM how their money is gonna be spent. They are in charge, not you. It doesn't matter that you want to make a rock album, you'll make a pop album if that's what the company wants. Heck, if they thought they could make millions of dollars by making you sing polkas, then you're gonna oompa-loompa the 'Beer Barrel Polka' til you puke. Wise up, Ashlee, you can't be as stupid as your sister. Can you?

Nicolette Sheridan Loses British Accent. Madonna Desperately Seeking One

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 3:45 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan was taunted by American kids when she attended school in the US so she dropped her British accent as a child to avoid being bullied.

"I came over when I was 10 years old, which was very difficult because everybody made fun of me. You had the little English accent, you get up and read out loud in class and everybody was laughing and they used to call me 'Little English Muffin.' So I had a fabulous, intelligent retort. It was, 'Oh yeah? You American Cheese!' I had to practice a lot to get this American accent. I used to come home from school in tears from being called this English muffin and I'd go, 'I can't speak English anymore...' It was very difficult."

, Now, Sheridan says, the problem is reversed when she flies back across the pond. She says she's teased by her British pals about her American twang during visits to the UK: "I go home they're like, 'Oh, you bloody Yank!' And here in the US they're like, 'What are you? Are you from New York?'"

Oh my God. She's British??

The "Numa Numa" Dance - You Go, Gary!

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 7:30 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 6 )

You've probably received a link to the "Numa Numa Dance" in your email box since he's the hottest sensation to hit the web in a long time.

Gyrating to the techno beat of a Romanian pop song, with more lip-synching talent than Ashlee Simpson, the chubby teenager from the New Jersey suburbs, Gary "gman" Brolsma, 19, who lives with his parents, has the physique of the Pillsbury Doughboy and more natural talent than any of the losers on American Idol.

With the sex appeal of Napolean Dynomite, this guy's got some serious dance moves -- check out how his butt never leaves the chair! Notice how the camera shakes when he start flailing his arms in the air like Madonna. Or that you lean away from your own screen when he flicks his spaz tongue at the lens? The snake in the glass aquarium in the back is an especially nice touch. Watch the video on this website.

In just a few weeks, the video has gotten more than 1 million hits on one of gman's web sites and has even been featured on CNN and VH-1. Brolsma is more surprised than anyone about his world wide fame. "You people are crazy!" he wrote on one Web site -- right before he shut it down because the number of hits probably fried his server.
