A Darker Look for Kate Hudson

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Hair Styles

Goldie Hawn might have trouble exploring change, but thankfully her daughter doesn’t.

For her new role in The Killer Inside Me (no - it’s not another romantic comedy), Kate Hudson traded in her signature blonde locks for much darker tresses. The movie about a sheriff-turned-murdering sociopath also stars Casey Affleck, Simon Baker and Jessica Alba.

What do you think of Kate’s new look? Are you happy to see a new side of her…or are you hoping she goes back to her roots soon?

Terri Seymour attacker Janice Thibodeaux pleads not guilty

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Legal Issues, Rivalries

Looks like the woman accused of attacking Terri Seymour has pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against her. Janice Thibodeaux was charged with misdemeanour battery and assault yesterday morning following her altercation with Seymour, the ex-girlfriend of Simon Cowell, and appeared in court to answer the claims.

A Los Angeles judge set her bail at $20,000. She is due to appear in court again on June 4. If convicted of misdemeanour battery, Thibodeaux faces a maximum six months in county jail and a fine of $2,000. The misdemeanour assault charge carries a maximum one year prison term and $10,000 fine. Thibodeaux is accused of assaulting Seymour outside Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, the site of where Cowell’s TV show American Idol was being filmed on Tuesday.

It has been claimed the music mogul has ordered his personal security team to protect Seymour until she feels safe again. Police claim Thibodeaux asked Seymour if she was still dating Cowell - who she split from last November after a six-year relationship - and then tried to choke her. However, Thibodeaux has revealed she was unhappy with Cowell’s behaviour towards his fellow ‘American Idol’ judge. She told a US website: “I wasn’t cool with Simon Cowell choking Paula Abdul on the show last week and with her crying-out ‘help’ as he did so. Nobody said anything about that so I wanted to confront him about it because that is not appropriate behavior, is it?”

Rihanna hooks up with rapper Drake?

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Hook-ups, Drunk, Rumors

Rihanna was seen drinking whiskey and locking lips with former child actor-turned-rapper Aubrey “Drake” Graham at New York’s Lucky Strike Lanes and Lounge this past Monday. (Aubrey is probably better known for his work on Degrassi as Jimmy Brooks.) A source told the New York Post: “She was drinking whiskey and apple juice and making out with him all night. They were really cute together.”

Rihanna is believed to have left the trendy bowling alley with Drake around midnight. The night before, Rihanna was spotted kissing a guy at a lap dancing bar. Rihanna - whose ex-boyfriend Chris Brown allegedly assaulted her in February - took over the VIP room of New York’s Flashdancers club, and was seen getting friendly with one of the guys in her party.

A source said: “Rihanna didn’t get any lap dances herself, but she was tipping the girls a lot. And she was definitely with one of the guys in her group and kissing him all night.” The group allegedly spent around $2,500 in the club before leaving at 3:30 am.

Since then, Drake has come out and said that he and Rihanna are just friends, saying “It’s not like that at all. She’s just a friend, that’s all. A great artist.” yesterday morning on Hot 97.

Clay Aiken Not a Fan of Adam Lambert’s

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television

UPDATE: You can read an apology from Clay Aiken here.

What is that saying—“Those who can’t do, teach”? Or is it—“Those who have no record album criticize those who will”?

Despite being busy with many other things in his life right now (like guesting on America’s Next Top Model or hanging out with his son), Clay Aiken found time to weigh in on the recent American Idol 8 results. And while some might have guessed that he would have supported the more flamboyant artist, the Season 2 finalist actually had very few kind things to say about Adam Lambert.

In a recent posting on his website, the Spamalot star admitted that his opinion of Lambert was based solely on one song. (He thought his “Ring of Fire” performance was “contrived, awful, and slightly frightening.”) He also basically claims the second place finisher was too polished, pretentious and not a “real” person.

Simon Cowell’s ex Terri Seymour attacked

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: D-List, Television, Break-ups, Dating, Legal Issues, Rumors

Simon Cowell‘s ex-girlfriend, Terri Seymour, was been attacked by a 200 pound woman outside the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Terri was reportedly assaulted outside the Theater, where Simon’s TV show American Idol was filmed, on Tuesday. Police allege Janice Thibodeaux, 33, approached Terri and asked her if she was still dating Simon - who she split from last November after a six-year relationship - before attempting to choke her.

Los Angeles officers, who reportedly witnessed the altercation, then arrested Janice - who was reportedly “twice Terri’s size” - on felony battery charges. Her bail was set at $52,703 bail. Terri, 34, and Simon reportedly split over his refusal to have children - the same reason he parted ways with former pop star Sinitta, who had a 1986 hit with ‘So Macho’. Simon’s mother Julie said at the time: “Simon has a right to his own life, we all do, but Terri wanted a baby and things didn’t work out. The split was really based on the fact that she wanted a baby and to get married.”

Mariah Carey pays for her entourage to go to Cannes

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music

Mariah Carey has paid for her entourage to attend the Cannes Film Festival. Mariah, who is renowned for her diva-like behavior, was told there were not enough free tickets for her staff to attend the prestigious event and see her new movie Precious. Rather than be separated from her team, Mariah shelled out for a number of exclusive passes to ensure they could all go together.

A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Mariah’s really close with her team and couldn’t bear the thought of a couple of people not being able to come, so she paid for it out of her pocket. That’s virtually unheard of in the celebrity world.”

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long looking to move in together?

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Dating

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are possibly looking to move in together. Drew, who recently reunited with Justin Long after the pair split last July, was spotted inspecting prospective properties with a real estate agent earlier this month, but is yet to find the perfect house.

A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: “Drew wants to live with Justin in a sort of trial marriage, so that’s why she’s looking for a new home.” Although the pair are yet to publicly admit they are dating again, Drew, 34, is said to be smitten with the 30-year-old Long. Another source said: “They are together, but they want everyone to think they’re just friends now. They’re so close, Drew even wears his clothes out during the day.”

The pair, who co-starred in He’s Just Not That Into You, sparked rumours they had rekindled their romance in March when they were seen at Hollywood’s Bar Marmont, situated inside the Chateau Marmont Hotel. A source said at the time: “Drew walked in with Justin, and all heads turned. They were definitely acting like more than friendly exes! They couldn’t get enough of each other. I don’t think they even noticed that there were other people in the room! In between kisses it was all smiles and laughs.”

Britney Spears sued by ex-bodyguard Kerry Vine

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues

Britney Spears is being sued by Kerry Vine, one of her ex-bodyguards. In court documents filmed this past Monday, Vine says he was injured while working at her Britney’s home in Los Angeles in March 2008. The documents state: “Advanced Security Concepts negligently operated their business thereby causing injuries to Vine who worked for Spears at the time. Spears breached that duty of care to the plaintiff by failing to ensure that he could safely perform duties that Advanced Security Concepts ordered him to perform.”

Kerry is suing for personal injury, battery and negligence which he says caused him to lose wages and incur medical and hospital fees. He also claims loss of personal property and earning capacity. The initial hearing will take place on September 2.

This is just the latest in a string of legal woes to fall into Britney’s lap. Last month, she was granted a restraining order against her former manager Sam Lutfi, which bans him from being within 100 yards of Spears for three years. Sam is also not allowed to contact the 27-year-old singer via email, phone or old-school snail mail. Lawyer Jon Eardley—who previously questioned why Britney’s father Jamie was made co-conservator of her professional and personal affairs last year—is also included in the same restraining order.

Eminem: I was like Bugs Bunny in rehab

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Meltdowns

Eminem says he felt like Bugs Bunny during his stint in rehab. The rapper, who just launched his latest album Relapse, admits his worldwide fame left him feeling like a cartoon character when he checked into rehab in 2005 to receive treatment for drug addiction.

Marshall Mathers told BBC Radio One, “When I landed myself in rehab in 2005 I felt like I wanted to reassess everything. I remember sitting in rehab thinking, ‘Is this what it comes to, really?’ So when I got out I knew I needed to pull back from the spotlight because of the fame thing. I was like Bugs Bunny in rehab, Bugs Bunny walking in the room. The second you walk in the room…There were some people who were as supportive as they could be, some people that were like, ‘I don’t look at you as Eminem. I’m seeing you as Marshall.’”

Eminem recently revealed he wanted to kill himself at the height of his problems. According to him, he just wasn’t taking care of himself, and at times wanted to just give up. “I was in a dark place. I wanted to pull back from the spotlight to reassess my whole career. I got sober but it was pretty rough. A couple of years were bad for me.”
