Mel Gibson has entered a rehab program, following his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. He is pictured here in the Los Angeles County Sheriff Depertment’s booking photo.
Unfortunately, the suspected drunk driving and rehab are not the biggest stories here. In Gibson’s public apology this weekend he said, “I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said, and I apologize to anyone who I have offended.”
This set off a flurry of speculation as to what Gibson said and did during his arrest, and although details are sketchy the rumors are that he made several angry comments expressing feelings of anti-Semitism.
This is sad. Mel Gibson was one of the few Hollywood stars that seemed to really have it all pulled together. I’ll be very interested to hear the facts, when they finally come out.
The full story about the facts we do know, and a video of L.A. authorities denying that Gibson received special treatment, can be found at CNN Entertainment.
Even despite last week’s much talked about day off, Lindsay Lohan has returned to work on her upcoming family drama “Georgia Rule.”
The actress never showed up to the set Wednesday, which prompted producer James G. Robinson to send off a “sternly worded letter” to Lohan.
“I’m just trying to get the movie made,” Robinson professed. “I did what I felt I needed to do on behalf of the movie and on behalf of her, too.”
Robinson also claimed in an interview Friday that Lohan was repeatedly late to the set of the production. He said those incidents also prompted him into action.
“It was not a nasty letter,” Robinson makes clear, “It was ‘Come on be professional.’”
For what it’s worth, Lohan did report directly to the set the following day.
My thoughts? I think Lohan has a long way to go before the word professional registers in her brain or her vocabulary.
I can never tell whether Pamela Anderson is trying to be funny or when she’s genuinely making an idiot of herself. For instance, when asked how she was going to deal with wedding day jitters, she answered, “I have two words for you: champagne.”
Now I would assume that she was trying to be funny there, but wait. This is coming from the same woman who reportedly announced at a recent press conference, “”I’m going to get married a few times this month to the same guy.” The first of all these ceremonies is reportedly planned for this Saturday in St. Tropez, France. Later, according to Andersen, “”We had to do Malibu, we’ve got to do Detroit, and we’ve got to do Nashville.”
Ok… how’s that going to work? Isn’t the point of saying the vows to make some kind of permanent gesture?
Jon LaLanne, the fired used-to-be poolboy for Britney Spears, has been talking to the magazine In Touch Weekly. “I was hanging out a little bit. She came out screaming at Kevin for lying around, then looked at me like I was to blame,” said LaLanne. He reportedly received a call the next day telling him not to report to work anymore.
“She fires everybody. I figured, ‘Why not me?’ I just didn’t expect her to be so mean,” added LaLanne.
My opinion: Suprise, surprise, someone gets fired and they’re not happy about it. LaLanne says “I was hanging out a little bit.” What does that actually mean? Oh, and get this: Jon LaLanne has a band and he reportedly enjoyed “talking music” with Kevin Federline. Yeah, I’m not really feeling sorry for the guy for getting fired.
The dress made famous by Audrey Hepburn in 1961’s movie, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is set to be auctioned December 5th. The estimated price tag for the dress is said to be somewhere in the 90,000-130,000 dollar range.
The memorable dress was worn in the opening scene of the classic love story and is being auctioned on behalf of the City of Joy Aid Charity, which aims to help less fortunate children in India.
Set to be sold at Christie’s in London, Hepburn’s dress will reportedly be the star lot during the annual film and entertainment sale.
Readers of Jane magazine were polled recently and the results are in. The prefered cast for a Brokeback Mountain sequel, or at least another homosexual love scene, would be the well-groomed Orlando Bloom and the slightly effeminate Johnny Depp.
Depp has already addressed the questionable sexuality of Captain Jack Sparrow in previous interviews, and it wouldn’t surprise many to see the rake take advantage of his young friend. Somehow, I doubt that is part of the original Pirates of The Carribean 3 script!
Since my buddy Char decided to let the cat out of the bag. It’s true we are going to be launching a video blog here early next week. Good times.
Hey isn’t that Brigitte?
If you ask his publicist, David Hasselhoff was not allowed to board a recent flight to because he was sick. But if you ask the British tabloid the Sun, he was denied permission to board because he was too drunk.
According to witnesses who spoke to the Sun, Hasselhoff was having trouble standing and told airport staff that he was upset about his recent divorce from Pam Bach while waiting to board his flight.
Hasselhoff seems to have had a streak of bad luck lately: he sliced three tendons and an artery in a freak shaving/chandelier incident last month. Earlier this month he was accused (he denied) of being drunk and disordely and the All England Club. Then his divorce from Pam Bach was finalized this week. Read MSN’s full story here.
What’s on the agenda for Hasselhoff? He’s looking to start something new. “I’m trying to get on a sitcom or maybe even my own show, ‘Travels With the Hoff,’” he said in a recent interview.
I’m pretty sure he was serious about the ‘Travels with the Hoff’ thing. “The Hoff”… whew. I hate it when celebrities invent nicknames for themselves and then try to get them to catch on.
Reality TV on the SCI-FI Channel has taken another push toward the extreme borders of reality. Stan Lee, the brain behind Spiderman, X-men, and several other comics-turned-movies has taken up with SCI-FI channel and Nash entertainment to torture a house full of comic conference nerds.
The contestants begin with a Super idea, a Super home-made costume, and a Super attitude. Finalists will be lead by the comic book legend through a series of challenges that might be descibed as Tests of Heroism to determine the winner.
The winner’s Superhero will be immortalized in a comic designed by Mr. Lee and will have a role in a SCI-FI Pictures original movie. Holy embarassing moments, Batman!
Jessica Simpson has changed the cover art for her upcoming album A Public Affair less than a week after we first got a peek. The original version features Jess with a sexy hairstyle and Jess’s cleavage. PR people say that the original was released before Ms. Simpson made her final choice, but I have to wonder. After all, Jennifer Lopez also has some new cover art to show, and it was remarkably similar. The cleavage shot, the hairstyle, the pale color scheme and even the title in a handwriting font were all similar.
Jess’ finalized album cover is more casual. The close head shot shows only the collar of her relaxed t-shirt and her hair is pulled back.
