  • Michael Strahan Targeted By “Mean Tweet”

    Michael Strahan, half of the Live! with Kelly & Michael duo, has become the target of one of Jimmy Kimmel’s Mean Tweets segments.

    Of course, in true Mean Tweet tradition, the insult was hilarious. And super mean.

    The mean tweets segment is so much fun to watch, and this one was no exception. This particular segment was an NFL edition and featured famous faces like Erin Andrews, Terrell Owens, and Steve Smith.

    The most hilarious mean tweet was Michael Strahan’s.

    It read, “Michael Strahan’s teeth are having a middle school dance, where the boys stand on one side of the room and the girls stand on the other.”

    Poor Michael Strahan! Come on, the guy is still recovering from splitting with his girlfriend. Not cool.

    Most of the victims were teased for their playing abilities, or lack thereof. However some, along with Michael Strahan, were simply picked on for the way they look.

    Take Keyshawn Johnson, for instance. His mean tweet read,

    “Keyshawn Johnson must’ve ate the guys who used to cover him. Fat bastard.”

    Washington Redskins star DeSean Jackson was teased for his style choices.

    “DeSean Jackson seems like no matter how much money he makes he won’t stop shopping at Express.”

    Harsh. Watching the Mean Tweets segments, like this one that featured Michael Strahan and friends, always makes me wonder how these tweeters would talk to those whom they effortlessly chastise over the internet. How would they really act should they run into them in real life?

    I assume it would look something like this…

    Most likely. Perhaps Live! with Kelly & Michael should do a segment where the mean tweeters insult Michael Strahan’s cardboard cutout. Then he and his smile could slide out from behind it!

    Don’t you think that would make a great segment?

  • Amber Portwood: “I Missed So Much” Being In Jail

    Amber Portwood, star of Teen Mom, struggles every day to make moments with her daughter, Leah, count.

    After spending 17 months of her daughter’s life in prison, she was released in November. Leah somewhat understood what was going on.

    “She knew exactly where I was,” Portwood said. “[But when I got out], she was really excited and she told me that she knew where I was and that ‘Jesus was fixing mommy’s heart.’”

    Then reality hit when she realized all that she had missed being incarcerated.

    “I missed out on a lot of important moments,” Portwood told RadarOnline.com. “I felt like I missed out on so much.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W6OmfUjlZI

    “When I got out: she was so smart, she was talking more and she was taller,” Amber Portwood continued. “It was crazy to me, and I did feel like I needed to make up for lost times.”

    It’s going to be a long road for Amber Portwood and Leah, but she seems to be up to the challenge.

    “Honestly, the only thing that you can do in situations like that is spend as much time as you can with them,” she said. “And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing and just trying to spend that time that you’ve lost.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZjxn3NWYWM

    Things are already looking up for the mother and daughter who have so much to make up for. They do normal things in as normal a way as they can manage!

    “I always bring her to the park if it’s nice out,” Amber Portwood said of her new life with her daughter. “We go get ice cream. We do normal things. We’ll turn on music and dance. She loves dancing. She loves singing. And in the morning when we wake up and I’m making breakfast or something, I turn on my music and she plays. It’s nice.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZGyGk0xBlw

    Portwood said of their future together, “I want to think about what I have with her today and move forward.”

    What do you think? Can Amber Portwood hold it together and finally find new life and happiness with her daughter?

    I sure hope so.

  • Dianna Agron Debuts New Platinum Hair

    Dianna Agron Debuts New Platinum Hair

    Dianna Agron has joined the growing list of celebrities who are making major hair changes lately.

    The 28-year-old Glee star went platinum and paraded the new ‘do around West Hollywood and Gracias Madre restaurant.

    Her newly lightened tresses were said to channel Marilyn Monroe as she shopped in Beverly Hills on Tuesday and sported a short white dress.

    Dianna Agron will reportedly be reprising her role as Quinn Fabray in the upcoming season of Glee.

    However, that is not all that the newly platinum star has going on.

    Dianna Agron has several movies coming out, seemingly back-to-back.

    Her new movie Zipper, which also stars Lena Headey, is about a family man who struggles with a serious temptation for other women.

    Agron is also set to star in Tumbledown with Joe Manganiello. The movie follows Dianna Agron as a young woman who is forced to look closer at the circumstances surrounding the death of her musician husband.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kOdA7-VS8w

    Both of these come out this year followed by, early in 2015, A Conspiracy On Jekyll Island. This movie is about an ex-Wall Street man whom the Secretary of the Treasury enlists to thwart a cyber attack. The attack could possibly derail the American economy. With the help of his wife, and a modge-podge crew of helpers, he hopes to foil the attack.

    Sounds like Dianna Agron is pretty busy lately! How does she even have so much time to stroll around Hollywood showing off her new hair?

    Good luck to Dianna Agron in all of her upcoming ventures! What do you think about her hair? Do you like the new platinum locks or do you miss the more demure look she had going on before?

  • Jay-Z And Beyonce: Reasons To Celebrate

    Jay-Z And Beyonce: Reasons To Celebrate

    Jay-Z and Beyonce have a lot to celebrate these days. For one thing, Beyonce’s birthday was a few days ago.

    Jay-Z didn’t get her a card and flowers, nor did he take her for a quiet dinner. Ok, maybe he did. But we won’t hear about that stuff because this sweet video he made for her took center stage!

    Jay-Z and Beyonce had an incredibly successful summer, and he used some behind the scenes footage from their tour to help compile her lovely birthday tribute.

    But that’s not all! Jay-Z and Beyonce, along with Blue Ivy, were spotted arriving by private jet in Corsica. They’re expected to spend some down time in the south of France.

    According to E! Online, Jay-Z and Beyonce have rented a yacht for the getaway that runs about $800,000 per week.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wioINkv3bs

    Though they have been rumored to be going through a rough time in their marriage, an insider told E! that they are really trying to make it work.

    “They’ve had their problems, but they’re still solid. Going away for Beyonce’s birthday in September is a tradition they have. It’s a chance to get some quality time together and relax far from worries about their crazy work schedules.”

    Jay-Z and Beyonce also have a huge summer payday to celebrate! Their On The Run tour, which began June 25th in Florida and ended August 6th in California, grossed $96 million from ticket sales reported by tour promoter Live Nation for 19 sold-out performances.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnBsl4fZy-0

    Their biggest show was the July 11th & 12th dates in New Jersey at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. That show, with an staggering attendance of 89,165 fans, earned $11.5 million alone.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOqbsHHS7K0

    Happy birthday to Beyonce! Hopefully Jay-Z and Beyonce will get some time for her birthday to just be together away from it all and recover from whatever ails them.

  • Linda Blair Uses “Exorcist” Earnings To Help Animals

    Linda Blair, the freaky girl in The Exorcist and animal rights activist, is known for helping boost the success of animal shelters around the country. On Friday, she really helped out the Indianapolis Humane Society.

    Blair says she wanted to be a veterinarian when she was 13. Then she began filming The Exorcist and Vet school was why she wanted to save her earnings from the movie.

    She didn’t go on to become a veterinarian, but Linda Blair’s Hollywood success from many a cheesy movie from the 70s and 80s enabled her to support her favorite cause. Why is she still so active in working to save animals?

    “What happened really in the last 17 years is that the pet overpopulation became so overwhelming,” she said.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J29eqddZ8Xo

    Blair told WishTV.com that she runs one of the largest shelters in America. 100 Plus Dogs is located in southern California and it began in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina.

    Many dogs and cats were orphaned during that storm, and she wanted to help. So, Linda Blair built the facility “because I had taken responsibility for so many of the animals down there. And I bought a property and all that.” she said.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCT_FB7kNkg

    John Aleshire, Executive Director of the Indianapolis Humane Society, was glad to have Blair’s help.

    “It’s the kind of attention the Indy Humane Society appreciates. We see crowds in the lobby.”

    He continued, “We see people who want to support us. We see people who want to volunteer. We see people who realize that we’re more than just a shelter. We have a vaccination clinic. We have a wellness center.”

    Such a great cause for a star like Linda Blair to be able to support! Good luck to her as she continues to help animals across America.

  • McKayla Maroney Reportedly Underage In Nude Photos

    McKayla Maroney is pretty angry about her nude photos being leaked this weekend.

    Her photos were stolen by a hacker and released along with those of other celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Lea Michele, Gabrielle Union, Hayden Panettiere, Hilary Duff, Mary-Kate Olsen, Selena Gomez, and Kirsten Dunst.

    Of course, all of these ladies are at some level of anger or another. Kaley Cuoco managed to (sort of) laugh the situation off, but McKayla Maroney has another very serious reason to be upset, according to TMZ.

    Not only were nude photos of her posted on porn sites all over the web, Maroney was allegedly underage when those photos were taken.

    Now, she has reportedly become involved in a legal battle to get the pics removed. Unfortunately, millions of people have already seen them.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qNy0CE_WlQ

    However, that doesn’t seem to be stopping her legal team from fighting.

    McKayla Maroney’s legal team has reportedly sent letters to various pornography websites like Porn.com insisting that Maroney owns the copyright to the images. They are also demanding that the sites remove the pictures because she is underage in them.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0RS7g5J89A

    Maroney, who just turned 18 in December, has insisted that the photos on the websites are fake, but her legal action seems to say otherwise. It has been suggested that perhaps parts of the photos are real, while other parts are fake.

    Either way, if the photos prove to be taken before Maroney was 18, it could easily lead to child pornography charges against the sites that posted her stolen pictures. This is quite a mess for McKayla Maroney to be dealing with and a shock for all involved.

    Hopefully these women, especially McKayla Maroney, can get this situation rectified as soon as possible so that they can have some peace. Until the next time their private photos are stolen, anyway.

  • Al Franken Pens Letter To DOJ On ISIS Recruitment

    Al Franken has taken a bit of a stand recently to bring attention to ISIS (also known as ISIL or the Islamic state) efforts to recruit members inside the US and to disallow those who have associations with the terror group to return to the US, according to CBS.

    He stated, “In my experience, no one is more upset about young members of their communities going to fight alongside our enemies than are those communities themselves. Minnesotans of all backgrounds and faiths are committed to seeing this evil eradicated and justice being done.”

    Al Franken, in his letter, did address his concern about President Obama’s alleged lack of alarm for what is happening in Syria and neighboring lands with ISIS, as well as the administration’s lack of a solid plan of defense.

    However, that tone wasn’t really tough enough, says Republican Senate candidate Mike McFadden. He indicated that Al Franken and other Democrats should not tolerate the “foreign policy blunders” of the Obama administration.

    “The president, as you know, last week said there is no strategy regarding ISIS,” McFadden said. “I think that’s unacceptable.”

    He gave this statement against Al Franken as an example,

    “Senator Franken has supported President Obama and all of his foreign policy blunders every step of the way,” McFadden said. “Senator Franken’s kept his head down; he’s been invisible, and the world has become a more dangerous place.”

    Al Franken, for his part, doesn’t seem to want to make the letter into a political pawn, but is hoping to prod some action out of a seemingly disconnected Congress and president.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa7T0UdBOW0

    Of the president’s statement that there was no plan in place to address ISIS, he delicately said, “I certainly think it wasn’t the president’s finest moment when he said he had no plan for ISIS in Syria.”

    What do you think? Are Republicans just trying to politicize this horrific situation or are Democrats not doing enough to spur their president into action?

  • Tina Fey Film To Get Attention At Toronto Film Fest

    Tina Fey is starring in a new book-to-movie adaptation called This Is Where I Leave You. The movie is what we call a dramedy and revolves around Tina Fey’s character, as well as those of Jason Bateman and Jane Fonda.

    The movie is about siblings who gather for their father’s funeral. It sounds a little dark, but the film’s director, Shawn Levy, begs to differ.

    “Tina [Fey] has said that people will describe this as a dark comedy, but it’s not dark. It’s an emotional comedy,” says Levy. “And I thought that was on point.”

    Levy doesn’t normally attend events like the Toronto Film Festival, but this year he is making an exception in order to see the debut of This Is Where I Leave You.

    “I don’t make festival-type movies,” Shawn Levy admitted to The Hollywood Reporter. “And I made a vow early on that I would only attend a film festival if I had a reason to be there.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbzqco9iMtc

    Now he, along with Tina Fey and others involved with the project, have a great reason.

    This was a different sort of project for the cast and its director. It is one done out of passion for the material and one that demanded self-sacrifice from all involved.

    Levy said, “With Jason and Tina, my whole approach was, we all have done well working in comedy on a big commercial scale. I said, ‘I want to try something a little different here and I want you to try that different thing with me. None of us are going to get paid what we normally get paid.’”

    He continued, “So we really linked arms in an economic model that kept the budget low and a creative aspiration that would be different.”

    Good luck to Shawn Levy and Tina Fey, as well as to all the other actors and crew involved as they ramp up for the Toronto Film Festival!

  • DWTS Season 19 Cast Includes Tommy Chong

    DWTS Season 19 Cast Includes Tommy Chong

    The DWTS season 19 cast is pretty interesting this time around! The cast was announced on Thursday’s Good Morning America.

    The cast includes Alfonso Ribeiro, star of the 90s hit sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Joining Carlton on the show will be track star Lolo Jones and young fashion sensation, Bethany Mota.

    Others joining the fray are Lea Thompson, Mean Girls star Jonathan Bennett, 90s teen dreamboat Antonio Sabato, Jr., and Sadie Robertson among others.

    However, the most interesting addition to this year’s DWTS season 19 cast is Tommy Chong.

    You know, of Cheech & Chong fame?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h79syNcZo6A

    The one question I can’t shake is, how will his weary, pot smoke-riddled lungs hold up to the physical challenges of training and performing on the show?

    We shall see, I guess.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47MlDd6UNlI

    Tommy Chong is the oldest competitor on DWTS. At 76 years young, he just barely beats out fellow competitor Betsey Johnson.

    Isn’t that worrisome to him? Well, perhaps it will be good for him to get a little cardio in.

    I also wonder if this will come up with Alfonso Ribeiro?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QZN7p3IH_U

    Dancing With The Stars season 19 wouldn’t do the show justice if there weren’t an incident of the Carlton dance.

    Sadie Robertson will also be interesting to watch as this has apparently been a dream of hers. Her mother, Korie Robertson, seemed to have predicted this happening when she talked to US Weekly in May.

    “I think that our kids are really natural in front of the camera and they have fun with it,” she said about her kids continuing in the entertainment world. “Sadie I think wants to maybe be on a talk show and she wants to be on Dancing with the Stars!”

    Can’t wait to see how the DWTS season 19 cast does on the show! Good luck to all of those participating.

  • Bruce Jenner Won’t Cut That Ponytail

    Bruce Jenner was met with a very interesting challenge by Khloe Kardashian on the golf course in a deleted scene from the new season. She challenged him to cut his ponytail (that the world has been cringing over) if he didn’t make the shot, but he made it.

    Unfortunately.

    As Bruce Jenner seemed to be enjoying some quality bonding time with Khloe, the subject of Kim Kardashian’s then-impending wedding to Kanye West came up. As did the subject of Bruce’s hair.

    Seeing a usable guise for her suggestion to cut that ponytail off, she took a chance. Seeming to cite Kim’s wedding as the reason, she suggested he cut his hair to make it look neater and start over.

    “Your ponytail looks cute,” Khloe said. “You wouldn’t want to maybe cut it all off to make it healthy and start from scratch?”

    Bruce, having surely been approached with the idea before, is on to her game. “Is this Kim talking or you talking?” he responded.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3RA-ap2m6w

    “If you get this one, you don’t have to cut your hair,” she says. “But if you miss it, you have to do a little snip snip.”

    But it wasn’t meant to be.

    It was a great lead up to the September 1st premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which featured Kim and Kanye’s big day and Bruce Jenner’s ponytail.

    Of course, the episode was steeped in Kanye as he debuted a new song for Kim. It was pretty “Awesome”. Unlike Bruce Jenner’s ponytail.

    The lyrics said, “I gotta move, I gotta dance, I gotta live, I gotta love, I gotta hope, I gotta chance,”

    They continued, “Don’t let anybody bring you down. You’re so awesome. You’re so out the park. You’re so after dark. You’re so sleepless nights. Ooh this feels so right.”

    Pretty sweet.

  • Eddie Vedder Parodied By Adam Levine

    Eddie Vedder Parodied By Adam Levine

    Eddie Vedder could easily take a hiatus from Pearl Jam, put his feet up, and let Adam Levine fill in for a bit.

    This is what we found out when Jimmy Fallon challenged Levine to one of his kooky games called “Wheel of Musical Impressions”.

    Of course, in true Jimmy Fallon style, there was a hilarious twist on his challenge.

    They impersonated famous musicians like Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra, both of which were completely spot on, and they did this with children’s songs. The very best, in my humble opinion, was his Eddie Vedder impression.

    If you haven’t seen this yet, you must. If you have, you must watch it again!

    It must have been difficult for Adam Levine to iron his high-pitched wail into a gritty Eddie Vedder, but he sure didn’t look like he was struggling. I had no idea that Adam Levine was so talented! But apparently, he isn’t new to doing impressions on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

    It’s not like he knocked Jimmy Fallon off of the King of Impressions throne or anything, but it’s pretty impressive. So impressive that the video has traveled around social media and back again clogging the feeds of many.

    This is great news for Levine! At least, God forbid, if Adam Levine’s fame runs out, he could always hit up the washed out comedy clubs around the city and do impressions!

    This just might be a new favorite game on The Tonight Show!

    How did Eddie Vedder respond to his parody? I don’t know. He doesn’t say much. If you’ve heard, let us know!

  • Kaley Cuoco Fights Fire With Humor

    Kaley Cuoco has a funny way of fighting back against the jerk who released hundreds of nude photos of celebrities over the weekend. Instead of being shocked, dismayed, or even embarassed, the Big Bang Theory star fought fire with…laughter.

    The blonde starlet posted a pic to Instagram of her and her husband, Ryan Sweeting, on the beach with heavy pixels covering their private bits. The funny thing is, they were both obviously wearing swimsuits.

    Kaley Cuoco captioned the cheeky pic, “What a fun day that was, frolicking with my hubs on the beaches of Mexico! Feels like we forgot something?”

    Kaley Cuoco was only one of many celebrities who were exposed. Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Lea Michele, Gabrielle Union, Hayden Panettiere, Hilary Duff, Mary-Kate Olsen, Selena Gomez, and Kirsten Dunst were also victimized.

    Some celebrities, like Kaley Cuoco, were able to laugh at the situation. Others were not.

    For example, Ricky Gervais, as always, was unable to let a serious situation stay serious.

    While Lena Dunham, on the other hand, felt the situation a dire one.

    What a mess. At least Kaley Cuoco doesn’t seem to have suffered any long-term mental trauma or distress over the leak!

  • Tamra Judge To Get Pink Slip From RHOC?

    Tamra Judge To Get Pink Slip From RHOC?

    Tamra Judge is nothing if not the supreme pot-stirer on The Real Housewives of Orange County. She has caused commotion with everyone on the show, leading to heavy speculation that she isn’t really showing her reality as it is, but merely causing drama for drama’s sake.

    Whether or not that is true, rumor has it that Tamra Judge is no longer welcome on the show.

    A source close to the show says, “Bravo is actively casting for someone who is a voice of reason. They want to replace [Tamra] who’s stirring up too much s**t and the entire cast is against her.”

    A voice of reason. On reality TV. Ok…

    The source continued, “Everyone is stirring the pot too much. So they’re NOT looking for someone who’s a sex pot or out of control. Actually, just the opposite. They want someone who’s really successful, an entrepreneur or just someone who’s well respected among their peers.”

    Perhaps it’s possible, but who would be able to be in the midst of that crew and not cause drama? And isn’t that why people watch the Real Housewives shows?

    Yes, it probably is, but apparently there is such a thing as too much drama from one single housewife, and Tamra Judge seemingly must go.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj33Zc4YMLY

    She has just crossed the line from can’t-stop-watching drama to ok-this-is-getting-old drama. She even went as far as to burn the rickety bridge between her and her former BFF, Vicki Gunvalson.

    Perhaps Tamra Judge’s replacement will be a little more easy to relate with to the normal person watching the show. That was definitely Tamra Judge’s issue.

    “She is not being authentic and the audience is not connecting with her,” said the source. “She hasn’t been completely open about her custody issues. It’s supposed to be reality and instead she only wants to create drama with others around her.”

    Good luck to Tamra Judge in whatever she decides to do next.

  • Betty White No. 1 On Entertainment Star Index

    Betty White, everyone’s favorite golden girl, has some shocking staying power. Well, of course she does. She has continued to be a favorite of several generations of TV watchers.

    Some people started watching her on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and fell in love with her charm and wit.

    Some may have seen Betty White first on The Golden Girls in the late 80s through 2000.

    But for this generation, she is the charming and slightly mischievous granny type on the shows Betty White’s Off Their Rockers and Hot in Cleveland.

    Now, Betty White‘s staying power has some proof to back it up.

    She has been No. 1 on the InterMedia Entertainment Star Index for the second quarter of 2014. That’s a pretty big deal!

    “Betty White’s staying power is a marvel of the entertainment business; she has proven herself to be a highly-effective celebrity spokesperson — one whose sense of humor and disarming charm seem to only strengthen her trustworthiness and influence with people of both genders and all ages,” Rob Levy, president of InterMedia Entertainment, said.

    Betty White is just loved by everyone.

    In case you were unaware, the Entertainment Star Index was designed to “capture and track rapidly-shifting public sentiment concerning celebrities in a media- and celebrity-obsessed society.”

    In the modern days of 15 minutes of fame then you’re gone, being loved by multiple generations during a career that spans over 70 years is nothing to sneeze at. Betty White started on radio and quickly made her way into everything from game shows to her own shows to star roles and everything in between.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRhBoPmKbU

    92-year-old Betty White is enjoying a career revival that is pretty much unheard of. She is still going strong and working like crazy! Good luck to Betty White in all of her future endeavors!

  • Madeleine McCann Investigation Hampered By Police?

    Madeleine McCann went missing back in 2007 and captured the world in heartbreak for her family. We watched as the search turned up next to nothing and wondered how there couldn’t be more.

    Well, now we might know the answer to why the investigation wasn’t as productive as we’d all hoped.

    According to a report written back in 2009 by Jim Gamble, who is the former head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre for the UK, the police that swarmed from the UK to help in the search may have hampered the investigation.

    Mr. Gamble said that UK agencies the CEOP, the Metropolitan Police, the Serious Organised Crime Agency, and the National Police Improvement Agency were all involved in the immediate aftermath of Madeleine going missing.

    This mass involvement, along with the attempt to run things by agencies that were ill-equipped to do so, led to “frustration” and “resentment” among Portuguese police, according to Gamble’s unpublished report on the Madeleine McCann case. It also led Portuguese authorities to warn Britain not to act like “a colonial power”.

    He said, “All of us… your first gut reaction is you want to help…so everyone came with best intention, that created a sense of chaos and a sense of competition…and in many instances in my opinion wanting to be seen to help. It was unhelpful…I’ve no doubt relationships from the outset with the Portuguese were impacted by it and I think that had a long-term negative effect on the investigation.”

    The UK authorities weren’t the only ones that caused delays and possible missed opportunities, however. Gamble stated that the response of the Portuguese police was “haphazard” and that potential clues had been neglected.

    Looking For Madeleine authors Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan have their own take on what went wrong with the case.

    Summers said, “It was a case of too many cooks… spoiling the broth of the initial investigation,” while Swan added, “The problems that grew out of the race to help… those things have not been fundamentally addressed.”

    What a nightmare for her family. Will Madeleine McCann ever be found, and if so, will she be alive? Only time will tell.

  • Clint Eastwood’s Son, Scott, Shares Dad’s Advice

    Clint Eastwood has managed to have one of Hollywood’s biggest and longest running careers of all time.

    From actor to director, Eastwood shines in all he does. He is the stuff Hollywood legends are made of.

    He even managed to father a mini-me. Scott Eastwood, Clint’s son, spoke to Today about his life, his new movie role, and his dad’s best advice.

    Scott Eastwood has stayed out of the spotlight thus far, which must have been quite a chore considering his excessively rugged Eastwood good looks. Setting up home in San Diego, he says he prefers to keep to himself.

    Hmmm. Like private father, like private son.

    Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6vpvM0rYX0

    What other nuggets of knowledge and interesting traits did Clint Eastwood pass on to his son?

    Here are a few:

    Scott said, “(Dad) didn’t care what I did. He didn’t care if I was a plumber or if I was an actor. He said, ‘Whatever you do just do it well.’”

    Well, that is certainly something Clint Eastwood has taught by example.

    He also told Scott to “be humble about (what you do), and be a good guy and tell the truth.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mIC8Nw7LqI

    Definitely a worthy trait for any father to pass to his son. And lastly, Eastwood told his son to “be a man.”

    Boom. Who would be a better father figure than super-manly Clint Eastwood to teach that one?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUKV9TKBEwo

    Words of wisdom from Clint Eastwood. These gems not only serve Scott Eastwood well on a daily basis, but could be heeded by many a young man today.

    Of course, you should be a man. But, it’s OK to cry, too!

    “I’ll tell you what, I cried when I watched The Notebook for the first time,” he admitted. “Any guy who tells you they didn’t cry when they watched The Notebook’s just lying.”

    What do you think? Great advice or not so much?

  • Kristin Chenoweth Needed Dramatic Change

    Kristin Chenoweth Needed Dramatic Change

    Kristin Chenoweth, the perky blonde little ball of laughs that we all love, is now sporting a little more serious look. By serious, I mean seriously different!

    Chenoweth exchanged her short blonde bob for an interesting ombre look with extensions to complete the dramatic makeover. The 46-year-old Glee star obtained her new look at Gemini 14 hair salon in New York City.

    Kristin Chenoweth is no stranger to the drastic change. In fact, she was just growing out the pixie cut she got at the suggestion of Jennifer Lopez last November.

    She said after that chop, “I think I’ve needed this for a long time. I was nervous about being so exposed. It is what it is. I am what I am. I encourage people to go for it. There is nothing wrong with having a change in life. And guess what: Hair grows back.”

    For some that takes months or even years. However, if you can afford the magic of extensions, hair can grow back overnight. Some fans asked how she got her hair so long in such a quick period of time, and her reply was classically Chenoweth.

    “I’m actually part chia.” She then added, “Hello I’m such a blonde. Oh wait. Not anymore!”

    Kristin Chenoweth loves her new ‘do and was excited to show it off on social media outlets.

    Change looks good on her! What do you think? Did Kristin Chenoweth do the right thing here? Do you like the darker, more somber look or do you miss that signature blonde bob already? She really looks great either way, doesn’t she?

  • Joan Rivers Reportedly Pulling Out Of Coma Today

    Joan Rivers has been in a medically induced coma since Thursday, when a routine throat procedure caused her to go into cardiac and respiratory arrest.

    The coma was intended to bring the comedic icon’s vital signs back to normal. Doctors began the process of lifting her out of the coma on Sunday and that process should be complete today. Only then will Joan Rivers’ only child, Melissa, find out what the long-term damage to her 81-year-old mother will be.

    A source close to the family told the Daily News, “There is real concern that the part of the brain that controls motor skills may have been compromised, leaving her as either a vegetable or in a wheelchair.”

    The news is more than a little upsetting to her daughter, as well as her friends.

    “We are keeping our fingers crossed,” Melissa Rivers said in a statement on Sunday. She also said that her mother, Joan Rivers, was “resting comfortably” and asked that “everyone keep her in your thoughts and prayers.”

    As composed as Melissa tried to sound, the source says otherwise.

    They said Melissa was “totally hysterical and is at a loss for what to do (because) they won’t know the extent of the damage until Tuesday at the earliest.”

    Well, that is understandable.

    Joan Rivers’ long-term friend, Jay Redack, is also fighting shock and dismay. He said they went to dinner on Wednesday night and Rivers didn’t seemed at all concerned about the upcoming procedure. In fact, she had just performed that night at the Laurie Beechman Theater near Times Square.

    “We talked about life, Melissa, boyfriends, tennis lessons and talked about her act,” said Redack, who has been a close friend for 40 years.

    “You know how polarizing she could be, but people don’t realize what a fantastic lady she is, the charities that she supports, without fanfare, without people knowing,” Redack said. “She is a great person.”

    Hopefully, the news will be good for the seemingly unbeatable Joan Rivers.

  • Jenelle Evans Blasts Former Teen Mom Farrah Abraham

    Jenelle Evans agrees with MTV’s decision not to include Farrah Abraham on this season’s Teen Mom. Evans thinks the show is better off without the scandal-ridden sex tape star.

    Some might agree, but Abraham thinks the show will suffer without her, and doesn’t seem all that concerned about it.

    “No one ever said they wished I would not be back,” she said. She then added, “Some of the moms on the show still need that. Fortunately for me, I have other ways of making money. I can’t keep doing the same things year after year.”

    Jenelle Evans’ former co-star is definitely not short on other ways to make money. The teen mom has dabbled in written erotica, the sex tape business, sex toys, and now a new stripping gig, which began “as research”, that pays over half a million per year.

    However, Evans isn’t impressed.

    She seems to think that Abraham just isn’t that great of a fit on the show and of course, like all teen moms, she is super worried about being a good role model for her kids and keeping wholesome company.

     

    While Farrah Abraham must be fully aware of Janelle Evans’ disdain for her, she doesn’t seem to be too perturbed.

    Hopefully, these teen moms will find what they are looking for in life and their stories might help other young girls who may be on the verge of falling into a similar situation.

  • Westboro Baptist Church Not Going To Protest ISIS

    Westboro Baptist Church, the most hated hate group in America, accepted an offer from an Australian comedian to fly them all to Iraq so that they can protest ISIS.

    Of course, ISIS is the terror organization that has been killing and beheading Christians for the last few months.

    Adam Hills, on his show The Last Leg, made the offer out of outrage that the so-called church was planning on protesting the funeral of Robin Williams.

    “If you really believe in standing up to those threatening the Christian way of life, Westboro Baptist Church, how about putting your money where your mouth is, taking a direct flight to Iraq,” he said. He then offered to buy them all first class tickets.

    Then a lengthy Twitter exchange ensued:

    It looked like it might actually happen, that these folks would become martyrs in their own right for their messed up beliefs. However, Adam Hills made a super-classy move:

    He donated the money to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital instead, intending to “fight hate with love”. St. Jude’s also happens to be one of Robin Williams’ favorite charities.

    Westboro Baptist Church won’t be going to Iraq, after all.

    Not yet, anyway. After Adam Hills made his offer, I’m sure it gave other wealthy people some ideas…

    We shall see if Westboro Baptist “Church” ever makes it over there to protest ISIS. I hope the guys with huge guns and knives will be more tolerant than Westboro Baptist Church.

  • Lea Michele: New Man, New Book, New Show

    Lea Michele: New Man, New Book, New Show

    Lea Michele has been a very busy girl lately! The gorgeous Glee star has started working on her second book, which takes up a lot of time.

    Her first book, Brunette Ambition, and its popularity has surely sparked the creative side of her again!

    Michele is also playing a new role, one far from the pop-cuteness of Glee. Like, really far.

    She has a guest role on the final season of the hit show, Sons of Anarchy.

    It will be a huge breakaway from anything she has ever done, but she is sure to make it a memorable experience, both for fans of Lea Michele and fans of the show.

    SOA creator Kurt Sutter seems excited for what will come. He said of Lea Michele,

    “We cast her outside the box. She plays a truck stop waitress. You know, tough, tank top, not a smidge of makeup on her. She completely embraced what the show was all about. It’s a show that people want to play different parts on.”

    That is a different part for Lea Michele, indeed.

    On top of all that career excitement Lea seems to have found love again with Matthew Paetz, who is a dating and lifestyle coach. The two spent some time in Italy earlier this summer and they seem to be really happy together.

    In fact, Lea Michele and her beau went on a sweet hike on Saturday and romance was definitely in the air.

    It seemed like she would have a hard time being in a relationship again after she dealt with the death of boyfriend Cory Monteith last year. However, Lea Michele met Paetz on the set of Lea’s music video for “On My Way”, and the rest is history.

    It seems like everything is going well for Lea Michele. Good luck to her as she continues to move forward in her career and her life!
