Abigail Breslin Nabs Broadway Gig

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Where Are They Now?

Academy Award-nominated Abigail Breslin will be following in Patty Duke’s footsteps. The actress, 13, will soon be starring in the first Broadway revival of The Miracle Worker as Helen Keller. Duke originally played the role on Broadway and in the subsequent movie (for which she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, the youngest actress ever to receive the honor at that time).

Breslin is the fourth-youngest actress ever to receive the Academy nomination; she was selected for the award thanks to her work in Little Miss Sunshine.

“I am so honored,” she said of receiving the Broadway role. “It’s like the biggest thing in the world…I’ve always known the story, and it’s always been something I wanted to play.”

Taking some tips from her big sister, Miley Cyrus, Noah Cyrus stirred up controversy over her Halloween costume, prompting Disney Girl to prohibit the photos’ publication.

Attending Jamie Lee Curtis’s Dream Halloween this past weekend, 9 year-old Cyrus showed up in a tight-fitting mini dress with knee-high leather boots. To top that off, dark eye makeup and red lipstick were applied to her small face.

Disney Girl‘s editor, Fiona Wright, spoke about her decision to not print the photos:

John Mayer Offers Advice to Tween Artists

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Music, Television, Child Stars, Charity, Kind Acts

We all knew that John Mayer was fairly obsessed with Twitter—this is the guy who told us that his penis fell asleep. Who knew that he’d let this obsession get to his head so much that he feels the need to offer advice to everyone?

Seeming to have gained insight into the mind of a 16 year-old icon due to his affinity for Twitter, Mayer commented on Miley Cyrus’s departure from the social networking site: “She’s smart enough to realize there is some interference of the brain that she doesn’t want to deal with… I think if you’re in Miley’s situation, it might take a little too much time to play goalie for your own heart and mind.”

Parents Planning Lindsay Lohan Intervention

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Child Stars, Drugs, Rumors, Where Are They Now?

“The more pressure I put on her, the more likely she is to eventually do the right thing.” This is parenting advice straight from Michael Lohan, current Jon Gosselin running buddy and father to Lindsay Lohan.

Committing truly poor party-planning, Daddy Dearest has informed the press of his intentions to give Linds an intervention - well before the event actually takes place. Talk about spoiling the surprise.

“When Lindsay doesn’t adhere or listen to what I say about serious situations, I feel I have to speak publicly to put pressure on her,” Michael explained his leaking this sensitive info to the press.

Allegedly, Lindsay has been abusing pills - namely, Adderall, Zoloft and other prescription drugs. According to Michael Lohan, he and ex-wife Dina (Lindsay’s mom) have already discussed the intervention.

Someone Else Sues Michael Jackson

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues

Michael Jackson has even more legal trouble dead than alive - and that’s really saying something.

It all began when Julien’s Auction House put around 170 items up on the block, a Michael Jackson collection that was bid upon by one Richard Lapointe. The auction, however, was canceled. As a result, Lapointe is suing the Jackson estate and the auction house.

The suit contends that Lapointe was the only bidder on 82 items in the collection, and further mentions that he might have been the highest bidder on 88 more items. Since Julien’s sent confirmation of Lapointe’s bid on these items, he thinks he’s entitled to some money.

Saved by the Bell Book: A.C. Slater Was a Player

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Television, Hook-ups, Child Stars, Videos, Where Are They Now?

Dustin Diamond, aka Screech Powers, sat down in front of cameras recently to give a reading of his new tell-all, Behind the Bell. This particular passage focuses on the many on-set loves of Mario Lopez, who played muscle-bound hunk A.C. Slater on the show.

To be perfectly clear, Diamond did not actually see these alleged sexual relations (that we know about). But he builds most of his storytelling on who went back to who’s trailer once tape stopped rolling.

Mackenzie Phillips Never Expected Media Reaction

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Where Are They Now?

Mackenzie Phillips is still riding the shock wave that rocked the world when she revealed that her father John Phillips (of The Mamas & the Papas fame) shared an incestuous relationship with her for a decade.

“I never expected this huge national dialogue,” she recently told the Early Show.

Frankly, I find that statement a little hard to believe. You’ve got to expect that when one sort of celebrity reveals such a shocking thing about a former celebrity that something big is going to happen. Her shocking revelation is concurrent with the release of her book, High On Arrival.

Dustin Diamond Makes Another Desperate Grasp for Fame

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Videos, Where Are They Now?

Sometimes, even a sex tape, a blow-up on Celebrity Fit Club and lots of interviews about both isn’t enough to help once-loved celebs grab the brass ring a second time around. For reasons known only to him, Dustin Diamond has decided to pen a tell-all book about - get this - kid-friendly show and former NBC darling Saved By the Bell.

Diamond, by the way, is better known to Bell fans as nerdy Screech Powers. His book, Behind the Bell, will reveal all those secrets that sitcom fans have been longing for since the show - and its two successive spin-offs - was canceled. Yeah, right.

Not to downplay the seriousness of Mackenzie Phillips’ shocking claims against her famous father, but this former actress has launched what will surely be one of the most successful marketing plans for a tell-all book since…well, this doesn’t really compare to anything else. First, Phillips shared a shocker with Oprah. Now, she continues to tell her tale despite input from stepmom Michelle Phillips. By the time this book is on the shelves, there’s no doubt that Mackenzie will be at the top of the New York Times bestseller list.

Who says the print industry is struggling?

In the upcoming book, Mackenzie Phillips talks at great length about her incestuous relationship with her father, whom she says “wasn’t a monster.” According to his daughter, John Phillips “was a tortured man who led a tortured existence.”
