Police report confirms Amber Portwood arrested for prescription pills

ByAsa Hawks

The police report from the arrest of troubled Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has been released which says she had a mixture of prescription pills in her possession when she was arrested December 19. This jibes with what Amber’s brother Shawn said earlier this week, but the amounts and kinds of pills combined with the fact that they were all mixed together in the same bottle seems to suggest it wasn’t some sort of misunderstanding or innocent mistake.

Tareq Salahi says Michaele lied about having M.S., being a Redskins cheerleader, etc.

ByStarcasm Staff

It’s really hard to spend a lot of time keeping up with The Salahi White House Cracher Circus’ press when one of them isn’t faking a kidnapping to run off with a Journey guitarist, but this might be worth noting for posterity.

Tareq Salahi, still reeling from Michaele dumping him for Neal Schon, spoke very openly with The Huffington Post’s Rob Shuter, and he confirmed what evidence has been telling us all along. Michaele Salahi (probably) lied about a lot of big things.

Megan Fox is 1930s glam in Giorgia Armani Madre Perla Holiday makeup collection ad

ByStarcasm Staff

Megan Fox took a break from retirement to go 1930s glam!

I’ve been wondering where Megan Fox went. A few years ago she was all the rage with her zany magazine quotes about her poop, her Transformers work, and every man (and almost every woman alive) wanting to bed her. Things quieted down after she had a box office bomb with Jennifer’s Body, married Brian Austin Green, got fired from Transformers, and then took time off to focus on her family.

But she hasn’t taken time off from her long-running relationship modeling for Armani. She’s still been posing in her underwear for Emporio Armani lingerie line, and now she’s back with an Elizabeth Taylor-esque glam look for Armani Madre Perla makeup. They just released this ad for the 2011 Holiday art deco inspired collection, and it’s gorgeous!

PHOTO Teen Mom Farrah Abraham to be an aunt, sister Ashley Danielsen pregnant

ByAsa Hawks

If MTV decides to start a new reality series titled 24 and Pregnant they have themselves a cast member. Congratulations to Ashley Danielsen, older sister of Teen mom star Farrah Abraham, who made the announcement a little while ago that she is 11 weeks along and has a due date of June 29! Actually, Ashley might be a good choice for a reality show because she is no stranger to drama, having made headlines last September by reportedly getting into a “boozy brawl” with Farrah and then tweeting in August of this year that her boyfriend had been taken to jail after punching her in an altercation. (Let’s hope that wasn’t the same guy who got her pregnant six weeks later.)

PHOTO The Dark Knight Rises: Occupy Gotham City movie poster

ByAsa Hawks

Warner Brothers released the second trailer for The Dark Knight Rises this week and it appears to have an Occupy Wall Street flair as Catwoman (played by Anne Hathaway) whispers into Bruce Wayne’s ear…

“You think this will last? There’s a storm coming Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches ’cause when it hits you’re all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.”

So… I made a silly movie poster. That’s pretty much it. (It does feature Bane leading a rather lame rally though!)

ByDarren O

I have to confess that I have some big love for Big Love’s Chloë Sevigny. The model turned actress is sexy, talented, funny and was consistently amazing as the frustrated fundamentalist polygamist Nicolette Grant. Opening Ceremony has just released the second part of a video series in which Chloë discusses the ins and outs of her wardrobe and how the items within relate to her life. I think it’s a great peek in to the interesting world of one of the real envelope pushing young actresses we have today. Two highlights include the original bunny ears from Gummo and the Elvis jacket worn by Linda Manz in Dennis Hopper’s Out of the Blue.
