More Teen Pregnancy News...


Former American Idol Season 5 contestant, Paris Bennett, is pregnant. The nineteen-year-old aspiring singer announced she is pregnant with her first child and the family couldn't be happier.

"I'm proud of how she did it. I was 16 when I got pregnant," says Paris' mother, Jamecia Bennett. Oh dear, dear! I don't know about that.

Eddie Murphy Announces Movie Retirement


Eddie Murphy has revealed to TV show Extra that his upcoming movie, Meet Dave, is one of his last. The veteran comedian recently announced, "Fifty years (old) I'll have been making movies thirty years and I have close to fifty movies and it is like why am I in the movies…I've done that part now. I'll go back to the stage and do stand-up."

He's been around awhile, we don't really blame him. It's time for Eddie to relax a little and keep to the stage!

Why, Emile Hirsch, Why?!


We thought he was going to be the next Hollywood heartthrob but actor Emile Hirsh isn't looking too good these days. What's with the silver outfit? And the shaggy hair? C'mon, Emile needs a makeover!

His new flick which co-stars Christina Ricci, Speed Racer, bombed at the box office in The States. Hirsch just appeared in Japan at the premiere of the movie, wearing this same outfit! Big no-no! What happened to his rugged, outdoor days from Into The Wild?

It's Double-Date Time!

Actors and BBF's in real life Ben Affleck and Matt Damon took their wives on a double date last night to the restuarant Nobu in Malibu, California. Damon's wife Luciana is looking pretty pregnant with their second child! Both couples seemed to enjoy a relaxed and casual date night on the west coast.

Pamela Anderson Hates Jessica Simpson




Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson didn't have such nice things to say about singer Jessica Simpson in a recent radio interview in Australia. Anderson reportedly responded to a question about Simpson by responding, "I think she is a bitch and whore." WHOA NOW! Where are those such strong feelings coming from?

It may be because Anderson is a devout vegetarian and Simpson recently rocked a t-shirt with the statement, "Real Girls Eat Meat," on the front. Anderson has been a supporter of PETA and encouraging others to go vegetarian for quite some time. She may disagree with what Jessica eats but those are some harsh words!

An Unlikely Pair: Pic of the Day

American Idol winner David Cook cozied up with The Hill's star Audrina Patridge at an event honoring Glamour's new Senior West Coast Editor James Patrick Herman at a private residence on June 25, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Could these two be a new Hollywood couple? Atleast that would officially get JustinBobby out of the picture (right, Hills fans?).

Viva Espana!


Congratulations to the soccer team of Spain! They beat Germany (1-0) to be named the champions of the Euro 2008 Soccer Cup on Sunday! Spain hasn't won the title in 44 years so this win is well deserved.

"It is to me the most important day in Spanish football in many, many years," says player Fernando Torres who scored the winning goal in the 33rd minute of the game. The game was played in front of a crowd of 51,428 fans, almost equally split down the middle in terms of Germany fans and Spain supporters.

Amy Winehouse Punches Fan

It's been seven month's since her last full show, so Amy Winehouse wanted to make sure everyone remembered her return to the stage by punching a fan.

The troubled singer was performing at the Glastonbury Festival in front of 80,000, when she punched a spectator in the first row during "Rehab."

She had stepped down into the pit during the performance. After lashing out at the fan, she was gently escorted back to the stage by security staff.

Winehouse got violent because someone grabbed her breasts, said concert organizer Michael Eavis.

Her appearance at the festival seemed doubtful after she was hospitalized for collapsing in her London home earlier this month.

In newspaper interviews published last weekend, Mitch Winehouse, the singer's father, said his daughter had damaged her lungs and developed early-stage emphysema as a consequence of allegedly smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes.

The performance was part of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday celebration. Winehouse was just one of many stars performing at the event.

WALL-E & Wanted fight for box office supremacy

Disney/Pixar's film 'WALL-E' topped the weekend box office, taking in an $62.5 million, according to estimates by Exhibitor Relations. It marked the biggest Pixar film opening since 2004's 'The Incredibles.'

Angelina Jolie and James McEvoy's 'Wanted' was second, with $51.1 million in ticket sales. However, the the action flick was released in 800 fewer theaters than 'WALL-E,' so it actually outgrossed the family-friendly film by near $500 per screen.

'Wanted' marks the biggest opening ever for Jolie.

Steve Carrell's 'Get Smart' was knocked down to third place this weekend, but ticket sales were down less than 50 percent.

The top ten films in the weekend box office, according to estimates by Exhibitor Relations, are listed below:

1. WALL-E, $62.5 million
2. Wanted, $51.1 million
3. Get Smart, $20 million
4. Kung Fu Panda, $11.7 million
5. The Incredible Hulk, $9.2 million
6. The Love Guru, $5.4 million
7. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, $5 million
8. The Happening, $3.9 million
9. Sex and the City, $3.8 million
10. You Don't Mess With the Zohan, $3.2 million

Supermodel Dies In Manhattan

Sad news today. Ruslana Korshunova, 20, died in lower Manhattan yesterday after she fell nine stories from her apartment building. Witnesses discovered the body laying in the middle of Water St. in the Financial District of the city. Police are investigating the death. Korshunova has appeared in many magazines and graced the covers of Vogue and Elle.

Rose McGowan to play Red Sonja

Red Sonja is the latest comic book hero to come to life. This time Robert Rodriguez will produce the action film, and his fiancée, Rose McGowan, will play the flame-haired Marvel character.

In the film, the She-Devil with a Sword tries to exact vengeance on the people who killed her family, but realizes she must use her superhero ways to save Hyrkania (modern-day Russia and Ukraine) from an evil sorcerer, as well.

It will be directed by Douglas Aarniokoski, who helms Highland: Endgame, Millennium Films and Nu Images announced Friday.

"This is an amazing property and film for our company," said studio executive Avi Lerner. "Working with the talented Robert Rodriguez, having Rose McGowan as Red Sonja and Douglas Aarniokoski directing is a fantastic combination. We could not be happier."

The film is expected to start filming in October, although the studio is still scouting locations in Michigan and other areas of the U.S.

The scale mail bikini-wearing heroine was first brought to life in the critically-panned 1985 B-movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen as the titular character.

It was a box office flop, grossing around $7 million in the box office, well below its $15 million budget.

"It's the worst film I have ever made," Schwarzenegger said later. "Now, when my kids get out of line, they're sent to their room and forced to watch Red Sonja ten times. I never have too much trouble with them."

It's a celebrity wedding weekend!

Several celebrities tied the knot this weekend, including Ruben Studdard, Chris Kattan and two sports legends.

'American Idol' Season 2's Velvet Teddy Bear, Ruben Studdard, wed Surata Zuri McCants in his hometown of Birmingham, Ala. Saturday. The ceremoney was performed at Canterbury United Methodist Church.

The two met in a Wal-Mart in Atlanta in October 2006. Studdard was signing CDs and noticed McCants. He followed her to the toy department and asked for her phone number.

Former 'Saturday Night Live' star Chris Kattan also got married on Saturday. He wed model Sunshine Tutt in a ceremony in Yosemite Valley, Calif., People confirmed.

The two have been dating since spring 2005 when they met at a birthday party. Kattan proposed on Christmas Eve 2006.

"Originally I was going to do something very special," Kattan told People about the proposal. "I tried to get Bono of U2 to serenade her. That didn't happen. Then I asked Justin Timberlake. No answer."

After hundreds of phone calls and text messages, I finally ended up asking one of the members of the Hanson group. He didn't want to get involved."

Kattan wrapped the engagement ring in a cheap box, instead.

Finally, sports legends Chris Evert and Greg Norman also wed on Saturday. The wedding weekend began with a golf and tennis tournament on Friday, and the sunset ceremony in the Bahamas was attended by 140 family and friends.

"They wanted a romantic wedding," said event planner Mary Fanizzi Krystoff. "They wanted their friends and family to enjoy a wonderful weekend together."

The couple got engaged on Dec. 9, 2008 in South Africa. It is Norman's second marriage and Evert's third.

Teen decapitated by Batman ride

A teenager at the Six Flags Over Georgia was killed around 2-2:30 p.m. today when he was hit and decapitated by the amusement park's popular Batman roller coaster, which can travel at up to 50 mph.

Cobb County police are investigating the death, which occurred after the 17-year-old scaled two six-foot fences marked with "Danger" and "Do Not Enter" signs.

"We do not know why this person was intent on gaining access to this restricted area,"
Park spokeswoman Hela Sheth said in a news release.

"Some witnesses have stated that the individual was trying to retrieve something he had lost. Others reported that he was trying to touch the ride," she added. "This is merely speculation at this point, and we are working with park visitors and local police to learn more."

Another Six Flags representative said the teen was one of a group of youth who jumped over the perimeter fence as the ride was coming, although none of the other kids, nor any of the people on the ride, were injured.

The victim, whose name has not been released, was reportedly with a church group at the time, although his family was at the park, as well, the Atlanta Journal Constitution wrote on its website.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family," a statement form the park read. Cobb County reports have not returned calls seeking comments, not have they confirmed that the teen was decapitated.

The description of Batman: The Ride is described on the Six Flags website as such: "Soar like a bat out of Hades, through, above—and even underneath—Gotham City, suspended from the rails of one of the most innovative coasters of all time."

It is described as "one of the most spell-binding coasters ever," with "one-of-a-kind heartline spin producing a feeling of weightlessness."

It is not to be confused with the new The Dark Knight roller coaster, located at Six Flags Great Adventure. The ride's May 15 launch preceded the upcoming film by several months.

NBA Draft Highlights


For the first time in NBA draft history, the first three picks were college players who just completed their freshmen years. The Chicago Bulls chose Memphis guard Derrick Rose as the first pick overall. He was followed by Kansas State's Michael Beasley, who went to the Miami Heat, and O.J. Mayo of the University of Southern California who was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"We actually talked about this earlier," Beasley said. "We all grew up together and we all grew up playing against each other and we all made a pact together that we would all be here. Just to see it all fall into place and see it all happen is kind of crazy."

Five of the top seven selections were freshmen, as were 10 of the first round draftees, both NBA records. More information can be found on the Official Home Page of the NBA.

Spencer Pratt vs. Mary-Kate Olsen


Let me paint a picture for you. Mary-Kate Olsen was a guest on The David Letterman Show this past week. Letterman asked if she had gone to school with any of the young Hollywood stars out there and Olsen responded that she went to high school with The Hill's star, Spencer Pratt. It was obvious that Mary-Kate Olsen wasn't a fan of Pratt and commented that he had a pretty bad temper when he played high school soccer.


NOW GET THIS! Pratt is reponding back at Mary-Kate Olsen and released his statement to Us Weekly about her appearance, this is so tactless! He says, “I don’t really get why she’d use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one’s going to see. She should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me… I know I’ve made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman. I forgive her, though. She’s had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough.”


DAYYY-UM! This picture is allegedly from the time that the two knew eachother. They look pretty young but there's your proof!

More Lohan Family Drama...



Daddy's got a big secret! This family just can't get any crazier, they are right up there with the Hogans these days! The father of Lindsay and Ali Lohan, Michael Lohan, has confirmed that he fathered an illegitimate while married to then wife, Dina Lohan.

The child is 13-years old. In a statement to OK! magazine, Michael says, "Years later [the woman he was messing with behind Dina's back] contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child."

This should be very interesting, keep a look out for how it develops! I wonder if this saga will play out on their E! reality show.

Flight attendant files lawsuit against J.Lo

Flight attendant Lisa Wilson filed a $5 million lawsuit against Jennifer Lopez yesterday in Brooklyn Federal Court for complaints regarding a 2006 private flight the singer took.

Wilson alleged that Lopez's German shepherd guard dog was unruly, "attacking [Wilson] and biting her pant leg." She also said the attack caused her to fall, leading to back injuries that have prevented her from working.

The complaint says that "Prior to departure, the defendant Lopez warned the plaintiff about how she should behave around the guard dog." Wilson said that at the beginning of the flight, the dog, Floyd, seemed like "a well behaved guard dog."

Thirty minutes later; however, Floyd "lunged" at Wilson, leading to her fall and injury. In the complaint, Wilson said she began treatment for back pain and had surgery in April 2007, but she remains in treatment and has suffered "substantial economic loss" due to her inability to work.

In the suit, which E! News obtained, Wilson claimed that Lopez "knew or should have known that the animal had vicious propensities" and therefore is liable for her injuries.

Lopez has not replied to the charge, as of yet.

And according to the New York Post, Lopez was also subpoenaed last week to testify in a lawsuit regarding a 1999 nightclub shooting involving her boyfriend at the time, Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Natalia Reuben, a woman who was caught in the crossfire and shot in the face, filed a $130 million lawsuit against Combs and rapper Jamal "Shyne" Barrow, who was sentenced to jail for his involvement.

While Lopez was with Combs on the night of the Dec. 27, 1999 shooting at the former Club New York, she was not called as a witness to the criminal trial of either Combs or Barrow.

Leonardo Dicaprio created Pong?

I can't believe they are actually making a feature film about the guy who created Atari!


Fawcett-O'Neal son pleads guilty to drug charges

Redmond O'Neal, 23, son of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett (and Tatum O'Neal's half-brother), pled guilty to two counts of felony drug possesssion and one count of misdemeanor driving under the influence yesterday, Jane Robison of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.

A second DUI charge was tossed, per O'Neal's plea deal agreement that allowed him to avoid serving time behind bars.

Malibu Superior Court justice Lawrence J. Mira sentenced O'Neal to three years of probation and ordered him into drug rehabilitation until a July 9 hearing.

Afterwards, a court will determine if he can enter the state's drug-diversion program for the two felony counts. He was also ordered to pay $1,688 in restitution and fines for the DUI.

The charges stem from a Jan. 26 arrest when O'Neal was pulled over for speeding on the Pacific Coast Highway and heroin and crystal meth were found in his possession.

According to People, O'Neal has a history of drug abuse and went to rehab in 2004 to address his heroin addiction.

No wedding for Joel & Nicole

Joel Madden recently told People that he and girlfriend Nicole Richie have no plans to get married.

We don't have any plans for that right now," Madden said. "We're just happy, and we're being a family, and that's where we're at right now. But marriage means something different to everyone."

The Good Charlotte frontman said he and Richie are concentrating on their new daughter for the moment.

"Right now we're really happy and we're concentrating on our family, and that's what is making us happy right now," he said. "We're moving at our own pace."

Uma Thurman is engaged

Uma Thurman and her boyfriend, Arpad "Arki" Busson are engaged, the actress' rep told People.

"I can confirm she is engaged," Stephen Huvane said.

Swiss multimillionaire Busson reportedly gave Thurman a ring with an 8-plus carat center stone surrounded by 20 smaller stones.

Although Thurman lives in New York and Busson lives in London, the two have been dating for about a year.

It will be third marriage for Thurman, whose ex-husbands are Ethan Hawke and Gary Oldman. She has two children from her relationship with Hawke. Busson also has two kids from his prior marriage to supermodel Elle Macpherson.

The couple has not yet set a date for their wedding.

Madonna & Guy: Headed For Divorce?

Reports are swirling about concerning trouble in paradise with Madge and her husband of eight years, Guy Ritchie. Madonna has reportedly seen a divorce attorney to seek advice about the state of her marriage, reports The Times of London.

Perez Hilton just recently stated on his blog that Madonna was seen in NYC just today without her wedding ring. There are reports everywhere about the tension that has existed between the pair lately and they may be headed for splitsville.

The reason? Rumors that Madonna and Guy Ritchie could be on the rocks due to disagreeing about adoption. Friends close to the couple have said Ritchie would only consider adopting another child once David had fully settled into their lives, but Madonna apparently does not share his cautious attitude.

Madonna and Ritchie apparently did not have a prenuptial agreement either. WHOA, this could mean big bucks. When contacted about all the speculation, her rep said: "No comment at this time, darling."

Christina Aguilera Who?


We haven't heard from this one in awhile! Christina Aguilera paid a visit to Larry King Live to talk about her latest venture. Nope, sorry fans, not a new album. She's rocking the vote! Six months ago, Aguilera welcomed the birth of her first child, Max. When asked if she wants more kids outside the show, she replied, “Oh, eventually (I want another baby), yes. Absolutely. Motherhood comes naturally to me. I think a whole new confidence comes with being a mother.”

For now, she's tackling motherhood and getting people to vote! Check out her appearance on CNN below and listen to what Christina is saying, vote people!

What Becks Says About The Billboards!

David Beckham is finally speaking out about those huge billboards of his half naked self plastered all over U.S. cities! These pictures are the newest for his endorsement for Emporio Armani underwear. Here's his blog post from today!

"Well I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures but last Thursday I went to San Francisco to see the unveiling of the new Emporio Armani campaign I shot a while back. To be honest I was amazed by the huge billboard poster outside Macy’s department store, but even more amazed by the amount of people who turned up to see it! I’m always surprised by the amount of attention certain things create, but the attention this campaign has created is pretty incredible. It was great to meet some of the people who’d come out especially though, I’ve always wanted to visit San Francisco, so it was a great to finally get there...Moving onto the football - Saturday’s game was a bit of a disappointment to say the least. We were 2-0 up and playing at home, so we should have closed out the game, but credit to Columbus Crew, they came back at us and forced a draw. We did get a point, but it feels like a loss to be honest. We need to make our stadium a fortress and win our games there and not give anything away, not just in defence, but also from the forwards and the midfield.At the moment it’s just the consistency, it’s all about finishing off teams and holding onto leads. Sometimes it just needs a bit of calmness. It’s all a learning process and we will get better, it’s just about getting the mix right. That’s all for now, David"
