Michael Lohan Cries Then Celebrates After Lindsay Lohan’s Sentencing

Douchey knows best
Posted by: Trent on July 7, 2010| 9 Comments

Michael Lohan, father of Lindsay Lohan who has sworn to do everything in his power to aid his troubled daughter, was snapped in a tearful state as he left the Beverly Hills courthouse after his daughter was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab. But after he made an appearance on Larry King Live (Daddy Lohan has never met a media outlet interested in giving him the time of day that he doesn’t LOVE), he was spied laughing, celebrating and partying the night away … just the kind of behavior you might expect from Michael Lohan:

He looked suitably tearful outside court after his daughter Lindsay was jailed for 90 days yesterday afternoon. But Michael Lohan’s gloom didn’t last long. Just hours later he was seen laughing and joking while surrounded by a bevy of ladies at one of Los Angeles’ wildest bars. Michael, 50, was spotted at the cowboy-themed Saddle Ranch bar on L.A.’s Sunset Strip where he enjoyed their ‘All-You-Can-Eat Rib Night .’ He told TMZ he was going to call Lindsay from inside the bar, explaining he was there to ‘relax.’ He was later seen mixing with ‘fans’ and posing for photos. Earlier, Michael told Larry King on TV show Larry King Live that he felt ‘dismay’ at the news that his 24-year-old daughter was headed for jail.

I mean … yeah. This is the man who raised Lindsay Lohan to become the tragic mess she’s become. If I feel any true pity for Lindsay, it’s for the parents she’s been saddled with. Yes, she is responsible for her own actions but … can you imagine what her life would be like if she had been blessed with other, less fame-hungry parents?

Jason Momoa Will Get Bloody & Wet In ‘Conan The Barbarian’

Now this is how I like my barbarians
Posted by: Trent on July 7, 2010| 4 Comments

Last month we got to feast our eyes on the first official promo photo released of Jason Momoa in the upcoming remake film Conan the Barbarian. Today we get to check out a new promo photo that was published in a Spanish magazine and shows the new Conan in action mode … wet, half-nekkid action mode:


At this point, I don’t even care if this Conan remake will be a good movie or not … I think the promo images we’ve seen thus far have worked their magic on me in such a way that I MUST see the movie when it opens in theaters. I mean, it could be good. Hell, good or not, we know Momoa will be lookin’ like this for most of the film … yeah, I’ll be there for sure.

Sony Officially Announces Andrew Garfield As The New Spider-Man

Here's your new friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Posted by: Trent on July 7, 2010| 7 Comments

Last weekend we heard the news that relative newcomer Andrew Garfield, who starred in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and will star in the upcoming David Fincher film The Social Network later this year, has been cast as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the upcoming reboot of the Spider-Man movie franchise. Sony Pictures threw a huge event in Mexico City to officially announce Andrew as the new Spidey … here are a couple of photos from the event and the official press release announcement:

After a comprehensive worldwide casting search, Andrew Garfield has been chosen to portray Peter Parker when Spider-Man swings back onto the screen in 3D on July 3, 2012. The new film will begin production in early December directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt. Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad will produce the film from Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios. Today’s confirmation culminates what has been one of the most eagerly anticipated casting announcements in recent memory. Bloggers, pop culture speculators, and everyday fans have pored over and analyzed every conceivable online rumor in an attempt to discover the identity of the next actor to play Peter Parker. Garfield will immediately begin preparing for the coveted role. The Spider-Man franchise is one of the most successful in film history and the three previous motion pictures have collectively grossed more than $2.5 billion in worldwide box office. On selecting Garfield, director Marc Webb said, “Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor’s work understand his extraordinary talents. He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker.” Commenting on the announcement, Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Matt Tolmach, President of Columbia Pictures said, “Spider-Man is a classic superhero — a young man who balances his responsibility to serve humanity and crush evil with the shyness and normalcy of someone struggling to find himself. The role demands an extraordinary actor. You need someone who can magically transform himself from Peter Parker into Spider-Man. An actor who will depict the vulnerability of youth and the strength and confidence of a legendary figure at the same moment. We have found that actor in Andrew Garfield. From the first time we saw him in the upcoming film The Social Network, to his glorious screen test, which floored all of us, we knew that we had found our new Peter Parker.” Producer Avi Arad added, “I’m incredibly excited about Andrew Garfield. In the Spider-Man tradition, we were looking for a smart, sensitive, and cool new Peter Parker who can inspire us and make us laugh, cry, and cheer. We believe we have found the perfect choice to take on this role and lead us into the future.” Producer Laura Ziskin said, “We are thrilled to have Andrew Garfield for this new incarnation of Spider-Man under Marc Webb’s direction. We were fortunate enough to meet with a group of fantastically talented young men. In the end, we all agreed that in addition to being an extraordinary actor, Andrew had the right mix of humor, youth, and pathos, along with an underlying sense of strength and power necessary to bring Peter Parker and Spider-Man to life on screen.” The selection of Garfield was revealed at a press event in Cancun, Mexico for international journalists attending a media tour promoting upcoming films from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Again, I personally feel that it is far too soon for Sony to be rebooting the Spider-Man movie franchise. I enjoyed the first 3 films starring Tobey Maguire (some more than others) and still regard him as Spider-Man in my eye. I just don’t understand why Sony feels the need to make a new batch of movies so soon after the last batch of movies were released. To be honest, it sounds like they don’t even have the kind of money to make a new franchise of films. They couldn’t rehire the actors they already had because they couldn’t afford them, they couldn’t rehire the original director because they couldn’t afford him and rumor has it they are only paying Garfield $500,000 for the first Spider-Man movie. Trust me, I know that that is not chump change but half a million sounds like a bargain for Sony when you consider that Tobey was making a few million per Spider-Man movie. Am I excited about these new movies? Not really. Will I see them, probably. I dunno … this just seems like a huge misstep. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

The Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green Wedding Photos Hit The Internets

The white stuff
Posted by: Trent on July 7, 2010| 11 Comments

Last week we learned that happy news that Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green got hitched in a small wedding ceremony in Hawaii and today we get our first look at the wedding photos from the secret nuptials. Here are a few screencaps from a video report on the snaps from Entertainment Tonight along with some deets about the ceremony from People magazine:

Yes, she wore a white wedding dress – and it was Armani! Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were married in an intimate, sunset ceremony June 24 on the beach in Hawaii, with the actor’s son, Kassius, 8, their only witness. The actress, 24, walked down the sandy aisle to meet her groom outside the Four Seasons in Ka’upulehu, and they were wed by a local kahuna, a Hawaiian priest. Kassius (whose mother is Green’s ex, Vanessa Marcil) was also the groom’s best man, and sported a jade bracelet blessed with ocean water. Fox’s Armani Privé gown featured a 16-ft. train. Her husband also wore an all-white Emporio Armani ensemble for the ceremony. “They were beyond happy, and they seemed so comfortable,” a friend of the couple’s tells PEOPLE. “They decided a long time ago that they belonged with each other.”

I LOVE that the ceremony was a tiny one … Brian‘s son Kassius Lijah looks so cute in these photos … they all look really happy. It was touch and go with these two for a while but they do truly seem to love one another madly. I’m really so happy for them both. After the jump, check out the video report from ET to see a bit more from Megan and Brian‘s wedding … More »

Neve Campbell Surfaces On The Michigan Set Of ‘Scream 4’

What's Sidney Prescott doing at the book store?
Posted by: Trent on July 7, 2010| 6 Comments

Yesterday we got to see a few photos of actresses Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts on the Metro Detroit set of the upcoming sequel film Scream 4 and today we get to see a photo of lead actress Neve Campbell on set as well. The photos we saw yesterday were snapped in Dearborn, MI but today’s photo was snapped in Northville, MI. I mentioned yesterday that the Detroit Free Press reported over the weekend that Scream 4 filmed some scenes in an aptly named Northville bookstore called The Next Chapter … and today we learn that that is where Neve was spotted on set:


You may recall we got our first look at Neve on set last week but that photo was snapped in her trailer, not on the actual set. You can see in this photo she is filming a scene for the film. Additionally, there are other photos that have been snapped from the set that reveal a tiny spoiler from the film. If you are curious and don’t mind the mini-spoiler, you can find out what role Neve‘s character Sidney Prescott will play in Scream 4 … More »

Lindsay Lohan Writes A Secret Message On Her Fingernail

Plus, watch video of her tearful plea to the judge
Posted by: Trent on July 7, 2010| 29 Comments

Late yesterday we learned that Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to spend 90 days in jail plus 90 days at an inpatient rehab facility for failing to complete successfully the terms of her probation sentence stemming from her 2007 DUI conviction. We saw photos of sad Lindsay making a plea to the court in order to try and avoid serving any jail time. Today we get to watch video of her tearful statement … but before that … it has come to the attention of many that Lindsay had scribbled a message on her fingernail in court yesterday that read “fuck U” and seemed aimed at the judge but was more likely aimed at the media presence in the courtroom that was covering her hearing. Here are a couple of photos of Lindsay‘s not so secret message:


I suppose it is entirely possible that Lindsay would be dumb enough to write “fuck U” to the judge who was overseeing her court hearing but it seems more likely that the message was directed at the media cameras in the courtroom that were recording the entire hearing. Even still, considering that she was trying to convey an image of sorrowful contriteness, the “fuck U” message doesn’t seem like a wise one at all.

In case you missed seeing it live yesterday, you can watch video of Lindsay‘s statement to the court yesterday where she tried to win favor with the judge who was about to sentence her for probation violation — after the jump … More »

Levi Johnston Issues An Apology To The Palin Family

"I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize."
Posted by: Trent on July 7, 2010| 7 Comments

Levi Johnston, who has been doing every single thing possible to capitalize on his relationship with the former First Family of Alaska from changing his name to giving scathing interviews to posing semi-nude in the pages of Playgirl magazine, is now going on the public record to apologize to the Palin family for mistruths he spoke about them in the past. Considering how his desperate attempts at finding fame and fortune at their expense have failed to yield any results (and even put him in a position where he would very likely lose parental custody of his son Tripp), Levi is now issuing an apology to try and make up for his “youthful indiscretions”:

“Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true,” he tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.” Bristol added her own statement Tuesday saying, “Part of co-parenting is creating healthy and honest relationships between the parents. Tripp one day needs to know the truth and needs to know that even if a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it.” Johnston and the former vice presidential candidate had been engaged in a war of words, with the 20-year-old accusing Palin of complaining about her job as governor of Alaska and claiming “there was a lot of talk of divorce” in the Palin household. Palin spoke out against the “malicious” remarks and also ripped Johnston for posing for Playgirl and talking about sex on The Tyra Banks Show. Though they had been in a bitter custody battle, Bristol, who recently made her acting debut on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager, has said she and Johnston want to turn “a new page here as co-parents … and [put] aside the past because doing so is in [our son] Tripp’s best interest.” “So to the Palin family in general and to Sarah Palin in particular, please accept my regrets and forgive my youthful indiscretion,” Johnston says in the statement. “I hope one day to restore your trust.”

I really want to believe that Levi is sorry for acting like a fame-whoring moron but the skeptic in me isn’t totally buying the I’m Sorrys. It’s plainly obvious that he tried to make a career out of doing everything he could to counter the Palin family and when that didn’t work, when he had no other options left to exploit (mainly because no one cares about what he says or does) he returned home to Alaska with his tail tucked between his legs, his hat in hand, ready to eat crow and try to get back in the good graces of the Palin family. I do think that this mending of fences with the Palins will be good in the long run for baby Tripp. Now that he’s sorry and the Palin family appears to have taken him back, let’s hope we never have to hear from him again … tho, I gotta say, I’m still waiting for his apology to the public for his dreadful Playgirl magazine spread. In the end, I’d rather hear no more apologies if it meant we didn’t have to ever hear from him again.

Lindsay Lohan Has Been Sentenced To Serve 90 Days In Jail

Additionally will serve 90 days in rehab upon completion of jail sentence
Posted by: Trent on July 6, 2010| 80 Comments

Earlier today we learned that Lindsay Lohan appeared in court today to answer charges that she failed to comply with the probation sentence handed to her after she was convicted of DUI back in 2007. Lindsay‘s lawyer tried to convince the court that she has been in compliance and Lindsay herself spoke on her own behalf … crying all the while:


Long story short, the judge was not impressed with Lindsay‘s contention that she was in compliance with the order and rattled off a laundry list of all the things Lindsay did that were NOT in compliance. In the end, the judge ruled that Lindsay was in violation of her probation and sentenced her to serve 90 days in jail:


She has until July 20 to surrender and begin serving her jail time. Upon release when she finishes her term, she will then have to surrender to the probation office to begin serving a 90 inpatient rehab program:


It sounds to me like Judge Marsha Revel, who has been adjudicating this case, is not playing around. I do not believe that Lindsay will only serve an hour of jailtime and then will be released. She is going to jail … for much if not all of those 90 days.

After the jump, read some quotes from what was said by Lindsay in court today and check out some photos of Lindsay‘s exit from the courthouse to begin enjoying her last 2 weeks of freedom before she must surrender for her 90 day jail sentence … More »

More Photos Of Madonna For Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 10-11 Have Been Released

Italians Do It Better
Posted by: Trent on July 6, 2010| 14 Comments

A couple of weeks ago we got our first look at the first image from the upcoming Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2010-2011 ad campaign featuring celeb spokesmodel Madonna and today we get to see a whole slew of new photos from that campaign … check ‘em out:

She is one of the most famous Italian Americans in the world. And now, Madonna is going back to her roots with a new set of stunning black and white shots for a new Dolce and Gabbana advertising campaign. One new photo sees the star in the unlikely guise of farm girl as she holds chickens alongside a male model, whilst showing off her curves in a low cut dress and cardigan. Another shot shows the star looking glam in jacket, corset and patterned black tights alongside an Italian mother figure who is clad in apron and headscarf. Madonna, looking much younger than her 51 years, is also seen lying on a bed holding a baby, and laughing alongside a big Italian family, not unlike her own in real life. Her dad, Silvio Anthony Ciccone, is a first generation Italian/American and she is the third of six children. The shots form part of the campaign for the Italian designer duo’s autumn/winter collection. Earlier this year, Madonna also appeared in a series of sexy housewife poses for the fashion house’s spring summer campaign which showed her hanging up laundry and sweeping the kitchen. The singer struck up a friendship with the Stefano Dolce and Domenico Gabbana while she was filming Dick Tracy in the early Nineties and they were invited to design her costumes for The Girlie Show tour in 1993.

Yes, I do love the Italian family vibe of this campaign but Madonna‘s pale pallor really makes her stick out in these photos. It’s like, one of these things is not like the other … instead of a regular member of this family, she looks like the distant American cousin who shows up on holiday one in a blue moon. Still, the campaign is very chic … and age-appropriate ;) After the jump, check out the chicken photo mentioned above (ah, how much I wish the photo actually showed her holding a cock) and a couple more from the campaign … More »

Hayden Panettiere & Emma Roberts Surface On The Michigan Set Of ‘Scream 4’

Hollywood comes to Dearborn, MI
Posted by: Trent on July 6, 2010| 5 Comments

Early last week we got our first look at Neve Campbell on the Michigan set of Scream 4 on the first day of principal filming production and today we get our first look at co-star Hayden Panettiere on set as well. Woodworth Middle School in Dearborn, MI has been transformed into Woodsboro High School for the film and Hayden was spied on set filming new scenes over the weekend … behold:

Hayden Panettiere has been finally pictured on the set of the movie. Donning a black jacket matched with a short skirt and stockings, the former “Heroes” beauty was seen filming the scene set at Woodsboro High School. During the production in early this month, Panettiere was accompanied by another new cast member Emma Roberts. The blond star was later expected to resume filming the fourth “Scream” movie on July 5 at Woodworth Middle School in Ternes St Dearborn, MI which is converted into Woodsboro High School for the production. In the latest installment of “Scream” film series, Hayden Panettiere is cast as a nerdy film geek who is a best friend of Jill, played by Emma Roberts. Original cast members including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette return to the upcoming movie to reprise their roles as Sidney Prescott, Gale and Dewey respectively. Director of the previous three “Scream” films, Wes Craven, still tackles the helming duty for the new project, which is slated to arrive in the U.S. on April 15, 2011. As of late, it has been reported that Ehren Kruger is hired to polish the script written by Kevin Williamson.

Woot!! I just LOVE that Scream is filming in Metro Detroit. We know that some scenes are being filmed in Ann Arbor and now we know that other scenes are being filmed in Dearborn … right near where my parents live. Over the weekend the Detroit Free Press also reported that some scenes featuring Courteney Cox-Arqette and David Arquette have been filmed in a new bookstore in Northville. Ironically (and perfectly) the bookstore is called The Next Chapter. I hope we get to see more photos from the Metro Detroit set of Scream 4 … and I cannot WAIT to see the film in theaters. It’ll be really amazing to see my hometown featured in one of my fave movie franchises.
