“Which Film Star has been absent for almost the past two weeks on the set of their new movie? The directors and other actors are getting so frustrated, they are forgetting to care that this guy is a big name in the movie biz. t’s not Robert Downey Jr.”  [Buzzfoto]

“Which married Oscar nominee has been cheating on his wife with a hard-partying starlet?” [NYDN]

“This is actually from the day prior to the Academy Awards, but it happened in the theatre so I think that is close enough. So, this actor who is A list all the way but has never been nominated for anything that great had a part in the actual show telecast. Comic actor. Mostly movies. Apparently though on Saturday he decided that it was his role to piss everyone off with his behavior. He yelled at the writers of the show saying their work wasn’t good enough for him and made them change his lines three times. Surrounded by people who had been working almost 24 hours straight doing backbreaking work, our actor who spent a grand total of one hour at the theatre started snapping his fingers when it was time for him to rehearse and yelling that he had places to go and didn’t have time to sit around waiting. I really hate the whole snapping the fingers thing. He seems to like it though.” [CD&N]

“This current reality star and former B list television actress has a new diet. Coke and more coke as she gladly shared when she was discovered at one show indulging in her ‘lunch.’ ” [CD&N]

“While many celebrities and guests were appalled at Paris & Nicky constantly texting throughout the shows they attended, guests were just as appalled at this B list television star from a hit network ensemble drama who made loud comments about every model and what they were wearing. Loud enough that people across the room could hear her. All of the people sitting with her kept looking away and trying to distance themselves from her remarks which were for the most part really nasty. Oh, and she was smacking on Nicorette while commenting.” [CD&N]

SOMEONE GRAB THAT JAR OF VASELINE…THERE’S ABOUT TO BE A CATFIGHT!!!
Singer Etta James is PISSED that Beyonce sang her song, “At Last” during the Neighborhood Ball on inauguration night.
James told an audience at a concert last week in Seattle:
“You guys know your President, right? You know the one with the big ears?” she asked the audience. “Yeah, wait a minute…He ain’t my President. He might be yours. He ain’t my president. But I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whooped,” James told an audience at the Paramount Theatre, sarcastically calling her “The great Beyoncé.”

She continued, “I can’t stand Beyoncé….[She] had no business … singing my song that I been singing forever.”

Ooohhh…The gloves are off.
Hey Etta…tell us how you really feel!

Listen to Etta James audio rant here.

Madonna’s been spotted with her new boytoy, model Jesus Luz, in the past weeks and now we’re getting some insight into how they met.
Luz’s former modeling agent, Sergio Mattos says the two met at a W magazine shoot back in December:

I think it was love at first sight….He was a normal guy here. He started to do some shows and was waiting for an opportunity. For him it was Madonna.
We did the shoot, and I never saw him again. She loves him and asked him to go to New York….It was something very strong, because one day everybody was like, ‘Oh my god, where is Jesus? He’s disappeared.’
After he went to the shoot, he never came back. He moved to São Paulo with the crowd of Madonna, and they changed his number, and they don’t let him talk to me anymore. He asked me to close his contract and I did.

Awww…there’s just something kind of sad about that whole ordeal.

Oh lord.

On Wednesday night Lil Wayne sat down with Katie Couric for her Grammy Special Interview.
I should of known this would be some must see TV. Unfortunately I missed it, but that’s why You Tube exists, right?  

Watch the video above!

I love the begining of the interview when Katie Couric say’s of his teeth, “They’re very sparkly” and “Can you take me on a little journey of your face?”

“Yes, hold on tight!” Wayne replies, in my head.

But really, the interview was chock full of morsels of gangsta goodness.

Lil Weezy pontificates, “I’m a gangsta Ms. Katie” (and a gangsta with manners at that…a gangsta and a gentleman if you will).

Katie doesn’t know what this “gangsta” means so Wayne explains that he “don’t take nothing from no one…[he's] gonna do what he’s wants do until the day he dies”.

Then they go bowling! and Wayne later tell’s her that he was always a straight A student.  

The End.

Which starlet did more than get wet with an uber-famous athlete in a pool? On top of that, a gridiron god walked in and got a gander at the action - and the twosome’s pile of cocaine.

Which celeb disgraced herself so much after an all day bender that her furious mates left her in the gutter to sober up?

I guess this actress is C list now Still B+ name recognition. Wow, she has dropped a long way very quickly. She used to be B+ and headed to A before all the drug problems. Apparently they are not getting any better. Our actress who always does film was headed into a club this past week with her husband. As she was trying to get in, someone must have bumped her or pushed her, but whatever it was, it caused the meth pipe of our actress to fall to the ground and shatter. At that point, our actress began screaming and crying at the same time before grabbing her husband by the arm and dragging him back to the car. I guess clubbing is no fun without the pipe.

Been awhile since I did a rock star one. This now married B+ rock star and father with A+ name recognition had a very weird crab obsession. No, not the eating kind. Seems that whenever he went on the road and decided to have some groupie sex, the women he decided to be with had to be completely shaved because he was paranoid about crabs. If she wasn’t, she had to right then. Seems he had been the recipient of the infestation not once, but twice and had to do some explaining when he got home from the road

Singer Lady Gaga is a woman of simple needs. All she needs is a good romp and some Olive Garden.

For Valentine’s Day the singer - who flashed the flesh again last night at KOKO in Camden - told MySpace she wants “a good **** and some carbohydrates. Good spaghetti and good sex.”

And really…what more does one need?
