No for Tila!

jocie21 — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:35:38 GMT

After Everything Tila went through...she ended up broken hearted again after she told Kristy to be completely honest with her. So Kristy told Tila that she was not ready for the relationship to go any further. when Tila heard this she dropped the key and ran back to the house in tears. Why would you stay in the competition that long, knowing you had a good connection with Tila and go and break her heart when you won. I guess Tila should have just picked Bo. Maybe a 3rd season would be better. Hope you find love some where and that person wont hurt you like Kristy or Bobby.

Miley's Sorry!

jocie21 — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:45:20 GMT

Miley Cyrus says she is still recovering from her topless Vanity Fair photo scandal. "I was embarrassed... but also it's like, every career thing that I do can't be perfect, and sometimes my decisions are wrong," she tells Billboard in a new interview. On the plus side, she says the experience made her "even more relatable." "I don't think people will look at me any differently because they're like, 'You know what, I'm going to do stupid stuff too, and I'm going to make mistakes, and that's fine,'" she adds. But she admits, "It still hurts when I think about it." (See photos of other celebs who've gone topless.) She says she is "super blessed" that she is a role model for young girls "but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to make mistakes and do things that everyone's going to be happy with ... there's no such thing as perfection." The 15-year-old singer -- who is about to finish shooting the upcoming Hannah Montana movie in Nashville -- says she doesn't plan on playing the character forever. (See old funny photos of how Miley and other teen stars.) "I mean, I won't be Hannah Montana by the time I'm 30," Cyrus says. "But we've only done two seasons, so we definitely want to work on that hopefully for another two years." Next up? "I've been talking to people about some cool movies, but right now I mostly want to stay within my company and keep them happy and keep everything that were doing successful and focus on that," she says. "I like to do everything that I do 120 percent and unless I can focus hardcore on that, I don't want to do it yet." Tell Us: Do you think Miley is still a good role model?

Welcome Baby Maddie!

jocie21 — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 21:35:18 GMT

There is a new baby in the Spears clan! Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiancé Casey Aldridge welcomed a baby girl Thursday morning. PEOPLE confirms exclusively that the baby was named Maddie Briann. "Just the family was there," says a source about the birth around 9:30 a.m. at a hospital in Mississippi, near her Louisiana hometown. "Everyone is healthy and happy." Can't wait to see the baby pics!! Jamie Lynn's sister Britney, father Jamie and brother Bryan flew in Wednesday to be with her for the birth; her mother Lynne had been with her helping her get ready for the baby. Since announcing her pregnancy in December, Britney’s little sister has retreated from the bright lights of Hollywood, opting for the comforts of her hometown of Kentwood, La. With her Nickelodeon show Zoey 101 already ended, Jamie Lynn went home to prepare for the birth of her baby. The actress, 17, and Aldridge, 19, got engaged in March. Recently, the couple purchased a three-bedroom home in Liberty, Miss., where Aldridge went to high school. Over the last few months, Spears has kept busy by passing her GED exam, preparing the nursery and attending multiple baby showers. Jamie Lynn's Zoey 101 costar, Erin Sanders, told PEOPLE earlier this year that the actress will be a fun mother. "She is just a very good-hearted and warm person," he said. "We would always hang out on the set and she is a lot of fun, so I think she's going to be an easygoing, fun mom."

Britney Did Not Run Over The Pap's!

jocie21 — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 23:22:03 GMT

Britney Spears has one less court date to worry about. Prosecutors have declined to press charges against the pop star over an incident in November 2007 where she allegedly drove her car over the foot of a photographer, according to court documents obtained by Access Hollywood. According to the LA County District Attorney, there was no evidence to prove Brit actually ran over the paparazzo's foot. The documents go on to suggest that the only way the alleged victim's foot could have been in harms way was by choosing to place it in front of Brit's tire. Britney said in a statement to LAPD that she had no recollection of the event and that she was unaware that her car had come in contact with anyone, according to the documents. Spears was surrounded by a host of snappers during the incident and was traveling at a low rate of speed, according to the report.

Kanye Gets Booed!

jocie21 — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 23:12:43 GMT

The Bonnaroo boobirds were out in full force for Kanye West this weekend. The Grammy winner walked onto the festival stage nearly two hours past his scheduled 2:45 a.m. performance time Sunday morning and was greated by bleary-eyed fans' chorus of boos and chants of "Kanye sucks." West was originally set to kick things off at 8:15 p.m., but because he wanted to make the most of his Glow-in-the-Dark Tour's lighting show, the hip-hopster's camp asked to push back the gig to 2:45 a.m. following Pearl Jam's show. However, the Seattle grunge rockers' gig lasted an hour longer than planned, with Eddie Vedder and bandmates not wrapping until 1:15 a.m. Then there was an extended break while Pearl Jam's roadies disassembled the band's stage and West's crew set up his own elaborate backdrop, a glow-in-the-dark spaceship along with undulating black platform and raised video screen. Organizers posted a message via Jumbotron that the "Can't Tell Me Nothing" rapper wouldn't be taking the stage until 3:15 a.m., then 3:30. When 4:15 a.m. rolled around and still no West, the antsy crowd began hurling glow sticks at the stage and screaming anti-West sentiments. Bonnaroo officials didn't help the matter, not informing festivalgoers why the changeover was taking so long. West finally made his entrace at 4:30 a.m., but by then, many exhausted attendees had had enough and returned to their tents. Apparently, they didn't miss too much. Judging by online reviews, West's performance didn't stand out from the 150 acts performing at the four-day musical campout. In fact, it was a yawner. "He was two hours late, cut his show short, didn't once acknowlegde the crowd that waited two hours on an already late show, not even a wave goodbye...I'm no longer a Kanye fan, huge disappointment," one fan wrote at the music blog Stereogum.com. "It's not the stage hands' fault; that stage was set up for well over an hour before Kanye decided to grace us with his presence," wrote another attendee on VillageVoice.com. "The next time he holds that finger up and proclaims himself as #1, I hope someone tells him what he can do with that finger." Per festival reports, West failed to even acknowledge his tardiness. The bad vibes carried over to Sunday's daytime slate, when during his set pedal-steel guitar virtuoso Robert Randolph groused about West's behavior, prompting fans to reprise the "Kanye sucks" chant. There was no immediate comment from the West camp.

70 million dollars!!!!

jocie21 — Tue, 27 May 2008 23:24:30 GMT

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are buying a new home in the south of France. The couple has spent a reported $70 million for a 1,000-acre estate in the European country, which even comes with its own fancy title - Chateau Miraval. The estate, located in a village called Brignol near the Aix-en-Provence, comes complete with a three-mile long driveway, a private lake, moat and for ultimate privacy, its own forest. Inside the lavish home are 35-spacious rooms, many of which featuring balconies offering amazing views of the surrounding valley. Of course, privacy could come at a premium, as the media has already descended upon the family's new palace. Waiting for the eager press at the entrance gate was security and a hand-written sign in French, which translates to "Private Property - Do Not Enter." On the grounds of the estate, 13 different varieties are reportedly harvested, and sprawled across the acreage are 20 fountains and a stream which runs through hidden tunnels, filling the moat and the lake. But Brad and Angie aren't the only celebrities in the area. Their famous neighbors also include Johnny Depp and his paramour Vanessa Paradis and U2's Bono. The Pitts, who banked a combined $55 million last year, already own a multi-million home in Berlin, Germany and Angelina also owns a $4 million converted farmhouse in Buckinghamshire, England.

Hulk Hogan's Son Get's 8 Months in the Clinker!

jocie21 — Fri, 09 May 2008 22:56:59 GMT

The son of wrestler and reality TV star Hulk Hogan was sentenced to eight months in jail on Friday for causing a car crash that seriously injured his passenger. Nick Bollea, 17, pleaded no contest to a charge of reckless driving with serious bodily harm before he was sentenced by Pinellas County Judge Phillip Federico. Bollea crashed his car into a tree in Clearwater, Florida, on August 26 last year. Police said he was speeding and racing another car. Bollea's passenger and friend, John Graziano, 22, suffered severe head injuries and remains in a semiconscious state in a hospital. "I think there has to be some punishment," Federico said at the hearing. He also sentenced Bollea to five years probation and 500 hours of community service and suspended his driver's license for three years. Graziano's parents asked that Bollea be sentenced to some jail time. They said their son would need medical care for the rest of his life and are suing Hogan and Bollea for millions of dollars in damages. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, defended his son. "Nick is a good person. He's kind, gentle and compassionate," he told the judge. Nick Bollea apologized to Graziano's family and his own. "I pray for John every day. I'm terribly sorry," he said.

Jose Canseco Loses His Mansion!

jocie21 — Fri, 02 May 2008 12:20:03 GMT

Jose Canseco, the former AL MVP who made millions during his baseball career, has had his home foreclosed. Canseco told the syndicated TV show "Inside Edition" that he walked away from his $2.5 million, 7,300-square foot home in suburban Encino because it didn't make sense to continue making payments. "I do have a judgment on my home and it to me is very strange because it didn't make financial sense for me to keep paying a mortgage on a home that was basically owned by someone else," he said in an interview that aired Thursday. "You know my life, this financial thing, is a very complicated issue. Obviously, when you make all that money, people think, `OK, let's assume it is $35 million.' People have to understand that $35 million, you're paying the government 41 percent. That leaves you with about $17 or $18 million, not even. Then you're taking care of your whole family." He added that a couple of divorces cost him $7 million or $8 million. Canseco said his top earnings year was $6 million and that his financial situation obviously is different than most people who are losing their homes. "What about other families that we're hearing on TV, that they're saying, `We have nowhere else to go,'" he said. "I mean, that is amazing. I've got books (he's put out two expose-type books on drug use in baseball), we're now trying to produce the movie to both. "Like I said, my situation was a little more different than most. I decided to just let it (the house) go, but in most cases and most families, they have nowhere else to go."

jocie21 — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:51:02 GMT

Pop star Ashlee Simpson and her fiance, rocker Pete Wentz, are expecting a child together, US Magazine reported on Monday, just days after the couple announced that they were engaged. Representatives for the 23-year-old performer, the younger sister of actress and singer Jessica Simpson, had no immediate comment on the report and no further details were available. Ashlee Simpson has been romantically linked to Wentz, 28, the bassist for the band Fall Out Boy, since 2006. On Thursday the couple posted a statement at the social networking Web site friendsorenemies.com in which they announced that they would be getting married. "We are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. We consider this to be a very private matter, but we wanted you to hear it straight from us," the announcement said. In addition to her career as a singer, Simpson had a role in the U.S. television show "Seventh Heaven." Her new album, "Bittersweet World," is to be released later this month. Wentz co-founded Fall Out Boy in 2001, and the band, for which he is also the lyricist, has built a loyal following with albums that include 2005's popular "From Under the Cork Tree," which included such hits as "Dance, Dance," and "Sugar, We're Goin Down."
