Oh, Jackie, no…

Jackie Chan
What’s Jackie Chan been up to lately, you ask? Well, he’s definitely staying busy…

Take just last night, for instance. According to an Associated Press story, Chan jumped on stage and demanded a duet with Jonathan Lee, a Taiwanese singer-songwriter, in the middle of a concert.

In addition to demanding a duet, Chan also reportedly tried to direct the band (which tried several times to stop playing entirely), insulted members of the audience when they began heckling him, and (just in case it was unclear) announced on stage that he was drunk.

I should point out that Jackie Chan was an invited performance guest at Lee’s show the night before.

I’m guessing there won’t be many more of those invitations for Chan anytime soon.

Justin Timberlake’s new responsibility

“If I’m not going to push it, then who’s going to push it?”

Justin Timberlake

This is the latest tidbit of wisdom to come to us from entertainer Justin Timberlake. In the quote, Timberlake is referring to his effort to “push the the sound of pop music” on his new album. Apparently, pushing the sound of pop music equals less singing in falsetto and more electronic, heavy bass lines. (Read the full story at Yahoo News.)

Timberlake talks about this so-called mission as if he’s aiming to cure cancer, but don’t worry, the former member of ‘NSync isn’t getting too full of himself. He leaves us with this, another gem of a quote:

“I think that you guys definitely want a new king of pop, you definitely want one and I’m probably not the only one who you might be thinking of. I don’t want it. I want to do what I do,” he said.

Coined the “Nicky O,” Hilton’s plans include renovating two buildings on Ocean Boulevard in Miami to create a hot nightspot for the Miami party crowd. She also plans to build a second hotel on Chicago’s Printer’s Row shortly thereafter.

“I know a good hotel when I see one,” she says. “I’ve been around hotels my whole life.”

While the Miami location will definitely be a party destination, Hilton plans on her Chicago hotel being decidedly more low-key. According to AOL News, Hilton has always wanted to create her own hotel chain.

Woody snaps

Woody Harrelson
Woody Harrelson allegedly tried to choke a member of the paparazzi on Thursday night outside of a Hollywood nightclub. The full story is available at E-Online, but here’s a summary of the conversation that led up to the choking incident, according to the police report.

Harrelson asks the photographer to stop taking his picture.

Photographer: “Can’t help it, man. You’re just so sexy.”

Harrelson again asks him to stop taking his picture.

Photographer: “All I’m doing is my job.”

Harrelson: “Will you stop doing it, please?” (And then, somehow, Harrelson ends up breaking the camera’s viewfinder and grabbing the photographer by the neck.)

Soon there will undoubtedly be some huge lawsuit against Woody Harrelson that involves the photographer claiming emotional damage and unbearable, uncurable neck pain.

Yes, violence is bad in any situation. Yes, Harrelson should have handled the situation differently. But honestly, I can’t blame him. In fact this whole incident makes me like him a little more than I did before.

21-year old Keira Knightley, star of the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest denies allegations that she suffers from any eating disorders. Knightley gets an earful about her seemingly fragile condition

Upon her appearance at the movie’s premiere, Knightley apparently looked withered and emaciated, prompting suggestions that she may be anorexic. While she did admit to a family history of eating disorders, Knightley adamantly denies claims that she herself has fallen victim to this deadly problem.

Surprisingly welcome about discussing these rumors, she understands there are those in Hollywood that probably suffer from eating disorders. How have these claims affected her?

“I had no idea that I was [being called anorexic]” Knightley stated in an AOL News expose.

My instincts tell me Jen was behind this. I bet Vince put her up to it. He’s so wacky!

She looks lovely, even is we don’t believe she’s any closer to her natural hair color, but what will be next? Gwenyth flaunting herself on Leno?

A first-year Hebron High School teacher and former Miss Texas contestant faces up to 20 years in jail after an 18-year-old student told police he had sex with the 25-year-old woman several times at her apartment in Austin Ranch.

Amy McElhenney, who taught Spanish and was a cross-country coach at the Lewisville ISD school in Carrollton, is charged with having an improper relationship with a student, a second-degree felony. She was arrested on May 25, the last day of school, posted $5,000 bail and was released. Ms. McElhenney could not be reached for comment. The student’s identity was not released. Via
Amy McElhenney

In today’s day and age anyone can be a celebrity for five minutes. And if you want ten more, and you happen to be a former beauty queen who also becomes a teacher you can sleep with your students. Be “too pretty” to go to jail. And badda bing. Instant celebrity.
