It’s the tales of a muscular brute who comes into power guided by his mighty weapon. But enough about Arnold Schwarzenegger, this is a post about Conan the Barbarian! See a nerd-sexy character poster of CoCo’s love interest Tamara, played by Rachel Nichols. (Marcus Nispel’s 2011 Conan the Barbarian reboot is due to hit theaters August 19, 2011.)
If you’re one of the 7-8 million people who watch Pawn Stars every week, you’ve probably gaped in awe at Rick Harrison’s vast supply of knowledge. You show him anything, and he’ll rattle off facts about it like he’s known it all his life. Granted, most of this is prepped; people aren’t just walking in off the street with Abraham Lincoln’s top hat. There is a level of production going on with the casting and research, but even with a bit of help it’s clear that Rick Harrison is a pretty sharp dude.
He’s also a high school drop-out.
If you were to believe all the rumors about actress Olivia Wilde and the A-list actors she has supposedly dated you would assume that her surname was certainly appropriate! She’s been linked to Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper among others but she’s put all this speculation to bed, literally, by tweeting an intimate photo of herself cuddling in bed with her “only boyfriend.” Check it out!
That is actually not part of our PHOTO O’ THE DAY but it is from the infamous Jennifer Lopez sex tape. Recently hubby Marc Anthony, who nailed The National Anthem last night at the Heat – Mavericks game btw, walked out when a reporter hounded him about the particulars of the video. In a follow up report a Spanish news agency was kind enough to include two very brief clips and the other is of JLo doing an Ace Ventura impersonation as she bends over (clothed mind you) and lets her private area do a little talking!
There were reports a couple days ago that Jenni “JWoww” Farley and her boyfriend Roger Mathews had stopped into a tattoo parlor and got tattoos and today Jwoww unveiled the newest addition to her collection of skin art: a large pair of praying hands clasping a large cross on her right shoulder! Keep reading to see some great photos of the tat and find out what recent sad event inspired JWoww to get it.
In what looks like a promotional photo for a new hip hop trio the baby daddies of Teen Mom 2 (from left to right) Jo Rivera, Adam Lind and Corey Simms posed together after taping the Dr. Drew “Teen Dads” Special in New York City over Memorial Day weekend.
Tonight on Real Housewives of New Jersey we learned that a little more about Kathy Wakile‘s adorable family. The kids had to sign a contract about their (realistic) promises to stay out of trouble for their parents. 15-year-old son Joseph wrote his contract with the precise language of a lawyer, and informed his parents that although he would not bend his beliefs, part of his believes involve having a few drinks on the weekend when he’s a Junior and Senior. While teenage drinking is extremely dangerous and irresponsible, it’s a sign that Kathy and Richards are good parents that their son feels comfortable enough to be honest with them.
Then we learned that 17-year-old Victoria Wakili had a brain tumor in 2004.
E Street Band saxophone player Clarence Clemons, 69, has reportedly suffered from a stroke and is “seriously ill” according to Showbiz411.com. No more details are available at this time.
UPDATE – Clarence is reportedly making a “miraculous” recovery!
Keep reading for a little background info on Clarence, a classic E Street Band performance clip, and my expression of indebtedness to The Big Man.
Find out all about Erica Taltos and Brittany Taltos, the two blond University of Florida twin sisters who have been spending a great deal of time under the arms of Jersey Shore‘s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino while “studying” in Florence, Italy this summer! Could The Situation be headed for his own Sister Wives spin off reality series?!?
Mid May 2011 Vicki Gunvalson was seen out shopping with her rumored new boyfriend (and look-a-like for her ex-husband Donn) Brooks Ayers, but there was no real proof that he was anything other than a friend. On the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 6 Reunion Part 1, Vicki admitted that she is, indeed dating…
Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion Part 2 (airing Monday night at 10 EST) involves a nasty fight between Tamra and Slade over who is the biggest deadbeat moocher. Tamra questions Slade’s not being motivated to get a job, especially since he owes child support money to his sick son Grayson. Slade and Gretchen compare…
One of the latest episodes of TLC’s Freaky Eaters featured a woman, Nikki Miles, who was addicted to corn starch! She loved the powdery substance more than food: more than some of the yummy, fried, sugary, fatty foods that people usually get addicted to. Nikki was packing away three boxes a day (about 3300 calories) and it was causing weight gain, belly pain, and constipation. She was also lying to her husband, telling him she only ate about 3 boxes a week.
There’s a phrase trending on Twitter right now “Seriously McDonalds” linked to the offensive photo above, which looks like it’s from the fast food chain’s corporate office. It looks like it’s informing workers of a new policy: charging African Americans an extra $1.50 per transaction. Is this Real?
Jillian Michael and Bob Harper might have been breaking bad habits this season on The Biggest Loser, but two of the show’s contestants were breaking hearts. Austin Andrews and Courtney Crozier charmed America during Season 11 with their youth, charm, and the energy for life that beamed from both of them as their pounds dropped off during the course of the show. And, according to both of them, they made a deep emotional connection. That’s code for “we’re dating, but we don’t want to talk about it,” right? Well . . . Maybe not.
RHOC star Vicki Gunvalson’s marriage fell apart last October, shortly after the couple renewed their vows in a tearful ceremony in the gorgeous Turks and Caicos. We watched Vicki grow increasingly distant from Donn on Season 6, and watched as she told her friend Tamra she filed for divorce. During an emotional drinks with Tamra,…
It seems the guys and gals of Jersey Shore aren’t the only rabble-rousing America reality stars currently raising a ruckus in Italy! The cast of VH1’s popular Basketball Wives show are in Rome filming for the show and two of the stars reportedly came to blows during a night on the town and had to be escorted out of the club by security guards! Keep reading for details on which two Phi Drama Momma sorority sisters were at the center of the fracas!
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was kind enough to provide a graduation speech for the 8th graders of Belle Haven Community School in Menlo Park, CA. He was his usually unexcitable self as he donned a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers and gave a pretty standard “follow your dreams” and “value your friends” type of talk. The theme was, “Eliminating the words, ‘I can’t.'” Sadly for Principal Maria Ibarra she couldn’t get Mark’s name right and is now officially nominated for the video FAIL of the week!
I suppose I just need to start a “Jersey Shore in Florence Photo of the Day” column because the hilarious pictures just keep coming in! The latest Jersey Shorence gem features the odd duo of Snooki and Vinny Guadagnino getting their busk on while chillaxing on the sidewalk. Vinny plays a ukulele (“very well” according to the photographer’s description) while Snooki silently holds out her large white ball cap hoping for donations.
Tonight is a special night for musician Jack White (35) and his model/singer wife Karen Elson (32). The couple are celebrating their 6th anniversary, and the upcoming divorce with a joyful bash. Here’s their announcement: “Karen Elson and Jack White announce today that they are getting divorced,” the two say in a joint statement released…
A fascinating new study has shown that younger Americans who watch Teen Mom, Teen Mom 2 and 16 & Pregnant are more likely to favor abortion rights. Read on for the interesting details and then let us know if these programs have influenced your opinions in regards to this sensitive subject matter.
Man oh man – when those Teen Mom cast members get tattoos they don’t play around! First we had Amber Portwood’s well-intended but rather unfortunate Leah abdomen mural and now we have Tyler with a billboard-sized Gothic bat-shaped design with his last name BALTIERRA spelled out on his back! Keep reading for a photo of the back tat as well as Tyler’s other large piece of skin art – a tribute to his daughter Carly located on his chest.
Not long ago rumors surfaced that Britney Spears would be performing a cover of Madonna’s “Burning Up” on her upcoming Femme Fatale Tour and now those rumors have all but been confirmed as a leaked studio version of Britney performing the song has hit the internet! Keep reading to give it a listen. (Includes Madonna’s version as well for comparison.)
We did a previous post on Miss Danielle’s amazing “Irish Blood, English Heart” shoulder ink that she was kind enough to share with her adoring public. In doing some stalking research I found a great video of Danielle returning the favor on the man who did the work, Billy Hill. That’s right! Not only does Danielle rule the AP roost, doubles as a rock-n-roller derby queen and gets her burlesque on but she does body art as well (swoon). Check it out!
Russell Crowe has always been a little out there, but it’s actually a trait that has kind of endeared me to the Australian actor. He’s known to speak his mind and has he ever done that in a recent Twitter-war with just about everyone in regards to the tradition of circumcision. Read his in-your-face tweets that took a harsh anti-semitic tone followed up by some serious backtracking “my bads.”
Teen Mom star Amber Portwood had her day in court today for her attack on ex Gary Shirley last year, a beatdown that was famously aired by MTV during the second season of the show. Because the couple’s daughter Leah was a minor and was present during two of the attacks, Amber faced multiple felony counts and was looking at the possibility of serving three years behind bars and a $10,000 fine. Keep reading to find out what the judge decided and what that decision will mean for Amber in the days to come!
This season Ramona Singer’s castmates have questioned her level of drinking on the show multiple times, prompting Ramona to say she actually called up Bravo and ask them if they really didn’t have any better story-lines to go with. Is she really slamming the Pinot too hard, or are we just made to believe she is to up ratings?
The Teen Momarazzi continue to follow Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans around her hometown of Oak Island, North Carolina and earlier today they photographed her as she paid a visit to her probation officer and grabbed some ice cream at Dairy Queen. You may wonder why this is newsworthy, but please note there was no mention of a beating, marijuana or an arrest!
If you missed it, Shania Twain took a hard tumble during the CMT Awards last night. I’ve rounded up a video that as of this post hasn’t been removed yet. Check it out while you can and then see Shania’s unflappable spirit shine through as she posted a funny video reply to the embarrassing incident.
After being accused in September of bribing and sexually coercing three young men in his congregation, Bishop Eddie Long has reportedly settled out of court for a whopping sum of $24.8 million! Keep reading for the alleged reasons for the high-dollar amount as well as my take on some of the numerous things horribly wrong with this entire scandal. Oh, and of course there are sexy cell phone pics of Bishop Long!
I could have sat down for a 5 hour brainstorming session and not have come up with a more perfect host for Miss USA 2011 than Watch What Happens Live’s Andy Cohen. There is no one alive with more diva managing TV cred than the bff of all The Real Housewives. Read on for the specifics, a tweet of excitement from Andy and some hopes I have for the big night!
Ke$ha has been open about her desire for, “fat bearded boyfriends” and has stated that comedian and actor Zach Galifianakis would be her ideal man. In fact she went as far to email him in hopes of hooking up. Sadly Zach did not share the same affections for the “Tik Tok” singer, after reading recent comments you could say he felt the complete opposite. Read his candid and borderline brutal quote in regards to Ke$ha from an upcoming Rolling Stone interview.
Arguably the most iconic wardrobe piece in pop music history is going up on the auction block as the red and black leather jacket duplicated by the truckload during the 80’s worn during Michael Jackson’s game changing music video for “Thriller” will be sold on June 25.
Find out the details and then try to come up with another pop music article of clothing more priceless since the music video age than this one because I couldn’t!
See what I seriously consider to be the single greatest Jersey Shore photograph ever taken featuring Snooki talking to a begging gypsy woman through a bullhorn in a compositionally perfect representation of the hedonistic and ascetic inclinations of the human condition. Keep reading for my verbose, over-the-top pontification of its many merits. (Oh, and did I mention it’s hilarious?)
You gotta love summer time! The temperatures are hot, the ladies are hotter, and the only way for ’em to cool down is wear as little as possible and hop in the pool. That’s exactly what happened at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday when some of the most attractive women in the country busted out their bikinis (and bikinied their busts!) and participated in the 2011 Miss USA Contestants Flamingo Pool Party, including the lovely Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih!
It’s been 30 days since Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans checked herself into a Malibu, California rehab facility, and the (previously?) troubled teen looked great as she ran errands in and around her hometown of Oak Island, North Carolina Wednesday. Keep reading to see the revitalized Jenelle as well as her son Jace, who is growing up WAY fast!
The Weinergate story has taken a much more serious turn today as The New York Times reports Congressman Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, is pregnant with the couple’s first child. According to reports the couple shared the news with family and friends only just prior to the Weinergate scandal breaking. So far there has been no official statement from either Weiner or Abedin about the pregnancy.
This is one of those you can say I heard about it at Starcasm first. Karl Welzein is arguably the funniest thing going on Twitter. He’s a middle-aged Michigan man who goes by the Twitter handle @DadBoner. He’s in a mid-life crisis of sorts and is torn between his love of good bowel movements, beer and his family. Karl’s plight will grow on you until you find yourself hoping the best for a man that you’re 99% sure is the figment of a very funny person’s imagination.
Shania Twain is coming back with a vengeance! In addition to getting a new husband and a new reality show the Canadian singer has just signed on for a new job as singer-in-residence for Caesars Palace in Las Vegas! Keep reading for all the details including a heads up on tickets that go on sale as early as tonight.
Lauryn Hill is pregnant with her sixth baby, but the man she claims is her husband and the baby’s father is claiming it’s not his, and that they’re not married. Lauryn and Rohan Marley have had five other children together, but their relationship has been complicated.
It seems that the production staff at Fox News must have a liberal mole on staff – or at least someone with a great sense of humor! In a story about the likelihood of Sarah Palin running for president in 2012 on their America’s Election Headquarters segment the network ran a photo of Tina Fey doing her impersonation of Palin from Saturday Night Live. Keep reading for the video, a screen capture, the original photo of Tina used in the story and startling evidence that this isn’t the first time Fox News had made this kind of mistake!
The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi just can’t seem to shake her persistent ex Jay Photoglou. The couple is currently embroiled in a bitter legal battle that includes allegations of libel, slander and defamation over their differing accounts of the details of their relationship. And speaking of those “differing accounts,” we won’t be hearing Jay’s take on their sexual or financial history thanks to a protective order granted by a judge on Friday. Keep reading for the transcript from the court order detailing exactly what all else involving the case we won’t be hearing about over the next few weeks.
Yes, Jennifer Lopez has a confirmed “intimate video” and yes the release of said video could decrease the work output of the world by at least 25% for at least an entire business quarter. In the interest of self preservation and to battle a worsening economy at the hands of her badonkulousness JLo has been fighting whitened tooth and manicured nail with the assistance of her lawyers to make sure that this tape never sees the light of day or the dim lights of your den. The latest reports on this bumshell of a tape is that it has been stolen which means it could be appearing on a computer screen near you and all your friends and all their friends soon!
Our Teen Mom Season 3 commercial collection is almost complete! Get your popcorn out and get ready for yet another drive-in quality bootlegged video of Catelynn and Tyler’s 30-second preview in which the couple continue their struggle to deal with giving their daughter Carly up for adoption and stay together.
There’s been a culture shift in music over the last year or so. It’s now kind of a surprise if a major pop artist doesn’t have his or her song and or video leaked. When you combine the forces of two singers at the top of their games like say Justin Bieber and Chris Brown, it’s almost a certainty that the listening and viewing public will be getting an unintended sneak peek. Check out the 8 minute leaked music video that’s more like a short film for the song “Next 2 U.”
Youtube has given us a few rare glimpses of Louis C.K.’s ex-wife, painter Alix Bailey. Several years ago before he became a stand-up superstar, Louis C.K. (real name Szekely) schooled himself on film-making by playing with a few of absurd short black-and-white films. A couple of them starred Alix Bailey, yet unencumbered with the perilous good luck of being Loius C.K.’s ex-wife, and source of stand-up material.
Happy news! The immensely lovable 16 & Pregnant, and Teen Mom stars Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra (pictured above with their adoption counselor) graduated from high school on June 5th.

Watch the preview clip that highlight’s Farrah’s struggle to prove that Derek Underwood, who died in a 2008 car crash, is the father of her daughter, Sophia.
You can take the boys out of Jersey but you can’t take the Jersey out of the boys! The streets of Italy were transformed into a WWE ring as Jersey Shore stud muffins Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio and Vinny Guadagnino re-enacted the Peter Griffin vs. Chicken fight from Family Guy in the heart of Florence last night! But that’s just one of the highlights from a single evening that produced enough crazy photos to be the closing credits for The Hangover 3. Keep reading for all the rasslin’, homoromanticism and child mannequin harassment you can stand! (Wait, what’s Vienna Girardi doing with The Situation?!?)
Weinergate continues, and more women come out of the woodwork as Representative Anthony Weiner admits the bulge is his, and he’s been sexting women for three years.
Who would have thought it would be this hard to track down commercials for an upcoming television show?!? MTV has released five new promotional spots for Teen Mom Season 3 (set to premiere July 5 at 9/8c) with four of them focusing on individuals and the fifth featuring all four girls. Keep reading to watch a pretty rough version of that “fifth” commercial with Farrah, Maci, Catelynn and Amber as well as Tyler, Ryan, Gary and Kyle!
It seems the Weinergates have busted wide open! Democratic representative Anthony Weiner called a press conference tonight at which he confessed to sending the infamous bulging crotch shot as well as numerous other “terrible mistakes” that include exchanging “messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years.” Watch the tearful confession and the brutal Q&A after. (Includes a full transcript of Weiner’s statement.)
Yesterday was the finale of Real Houseiwves of Orange County Season 6, and it was one of those for real reality show trainwrecks. Tears were streaming, drinks were flying, people were fighting over lips and old boyfriends. It was dramatic, but the crazy was all coming from a genuine place. This is why Bravo is so successful.
But somehow it all got upstaged by hockey player Sean Avery on Watch What Happens Live.
MTV used it’s Movie Awards show last night to not only launch their new series Teen Wolf, but also to premiere a batch of Teen Mom Season 3 previews! Instead of one spot that covered all four girls in one sweep the network did individual 30-second commercials for each. Keep reading to watch the commercial for Amber Portwood, whose storyline looks to feature a lot of baby daddy Gary Shirley and therapy.
Florence, Italy may well be the cultural capital of Europe. With art and architectural treasure comparable to Rome or Paris and a walkable central district smaller than some American mega-malls, Florence packs a serious cultural wallop. Add some of the best food and wine in the world and an ethereally beautiful countryside, and you have an unstoppable combination of attractions for practically anyone willing to apply for a passport and board a plane.
But, Florence is also a mecca for good-timing young folks from around the globe – a place where they can tell their parents about soaking in the likes of Brunelleschi, Michelangelo and da Vinci while actually spending all day and night soaking in the spirits of Brunello (wine) and house music at the disco. It’s a side of Florence vital to their economy, but not something the want to publicize – especially on, say, one of the most popular reality series in the world! Keep reading for our in-depth report from Ruby Turpin, our resident academic currently vacationing in Florence!
You gotta hand it to these two: They know how to sell a movie!
Despite the fact that his reported girlfriend’s mom denied claims that he was dating anyone else, Justin Theroux reportedly made out with with his Wanderlusti co-star Jennifer Aniston at an MTV Movie Awards after party.
There’s something about the idea of Ke$ha leaking that seems really unpleasant, but in this case it’s a good thing – at least for fans. Her new single “Tease Me” has hit the webs! Keep reading to give it a listen and rejoice in knowing that there is finally a reason to put whammy bars on chainsaws.
