  • Bruce Willis Turns 60, Celebrates With Keith Richards And Tony Bennett

    Hollywood action star Bruce Willis rocked hard with a celebrity-studded 60th birthday party at the Harlow in New York City.

    Talk about an action-packed way of marking a milestone! Willis danced all night long with his loving wife, Emma Heming-Willis and kids Scout and Tallulah.

    E! News previously disclosed plans on Willis’ birthday bash and covered the details of the NYC party on Saturday. Sources say that it “was an amazing event in New York City.”

    “It was a perfect celebration filled with old friends and family from Bruce Willis past and present. His wife and Bruce were really affectionate throughout the whole night. You can tell she gets along great with his kids. She was by his side all night and they danced throughout the evening,” the source added.

    It seemed that the Harlow could have done with a red carpet as Willis’ guests turn up to celebrate the actor’s 60 wonderful years. The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, Tony Bennett and actress Patti Hensen were also present for the event.

    “A few people could not show, like Bill Murray, Demi Moore and Rumer Willis, who really wanted to be there and show love for Bruce,” the insider continues.

    The stars enjoyed stations of scrumptious Harlow hor d’oeuvres which included sirloin, pasta, crab croquette, Hamachi crudo, mac and cheese balls and vegetable skewers.

    “Everyone had a ball dancing the night away. When the birthday cake came everyone sang happy birthday including Tony Bennett. It was a 60th birthday to remember!”

    Emma and Willis were seen having a great time together all night. Emma posted photos of the event on her Instagram account saying, “It’s fair to say the birthday boy had a great time. #BWBirthdayBash.” The photo collage titled “Bee Dub’s 60th.”

    Willis married Emma in 2009 and has two daughters with her.

  • Jackie Chan Wants Media To Stop Making False Reports About His Imprisoned Son

    At a press conference for his new movie Skiptrace, Jackie Chan was recently asked about his son Jaycee Chan, who was arrested on drug charges by the Chinese government in August. The elder Chan told reporters on Thursday, October 23, that he wanted to be a better father to Jaycee and implored the press to not hurt his wife, former actress Joan Lin, by printing false news about their son.

    “I know as much about him as everyone else. I ask the media to please not report anything without proof. Please do not hurt Siu Fong Ji’s Mama [Joan Lin] and publish untrue reports. If necessary, I will give a clear explanation to everyone,” said Chan.

    Chan revealed that he has been focusing on his film work, shooting by day and editing by night. He claims that his son’s arrest has had no impact on his career, despite rumors that Chan had to kneel in front of authorities and that the release of his film was delayed. Chan also denied such rumors.

    There were also rumors that Chan and Lin visited Jaycee at a detention center and that Lin wished she had been jailed instead of her son. However, these were denied by Jaycee’s manager, who said that Lin had not left Hong Kong.

    At the press conference in Beijing, Chan admitted that he could have been a better father to his son. “I am always a father. I used to be an unqualified father. Now, after this event, I want to be a qualified father,” he said.

    Jaycee numbered among celebrities who were caught during a crackdown on drug abuse in Beijing and other parts of China earlier this year. More than 100 grams of marijuana were found in his apartment, and Jaycee is accused of accommodating drug users, which could land him up to three years in prison.

    Did everyone hear about that amazing ad that Jean-Claude Van Damme did for Volvo, in which he did the splits between two Volvo trucks? Well, the well-known action star has now had his ad re-done not once, but twice.

    Of course, the Chuck Norris video is totally fake, and it was made by as a holiday greeting from Hungarian animation firm Delov Digital. The video shows Jean-Claude Van Damme’s act being spoofed when Norris is seen standing on the wing tips of two planes, wearing a hat that balances 11 suited men, holding each other in the formation of a Christmas tree.

    To follow along with Jean-Claude Van Damme’s original, the video features the song “Only Time” by Enya, and the opening monologue features lines from the first scene of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The ad was used as a Christmas greeting, and it is being called “the epic Christmas split.”

    For those that have yet to see the original video, take a look and then compare it to Chuck Norris’ version.

    Did he completely put Jean-Claude Van Damme to shame with the new version? View them both and decide for yourself.
