George Michael Arrested After Crashing Car Into London Shop

George Michael just can’t seem to keep it together. He’s been in and out of trouble for years for various and sundry things. In addition to getting caught with his pants down in public places, he lost his drivers license for two years in 2007 after he admitted to driving while on drugs. Looks like this incident may be a repeat of that of that last one.

George Michael was arrested after he crashed his Range Rover into a London shop at around 3:30 AM Sunday morning. The singer allegedly climbed out of his car and waited for police to arrive. According to UK’s Daily Mail, he was not given a breathalyzer test at the scene but was taken to a north London police station. The 47-year-old star was released on bail until August. “Police were called at approximately 3.30 AM on Sunday to reports of a vehicle in collision with a building … A man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive. He was taken to a north London police station and later bailed to return on August 13 pending inquiries,” a Metropolitan Police spokesman told the newspaper.

“Let Me In” Set To Be Next Big Vampire Movie

Two years after Twilight busted down the door for all things vampire..bloodsuckers are still hot. True Blood, The Vampire Diaries, the new ABC show The Gates…and of course there are countless vampire book series out there now, both teen and adult. And all this stuff still sells like hotcakes. Even Alex O’Loughlin’s canceled vampire/cop drama Moonlight has been picked up by the CW.

So what’s the next big thing? According the E!Online it’s going to the be American remake of the 2008 Swedish movie Let The Right One In.

Let Me In stars Kick-Ass’ Chloe Moretz as the adorable and creepy middle schoolgirl with a raging thirst for blood and wicked Morse code skills. It looks a bit darker than what we’ve come to expect from our vampire movies and television shows, but it was was huge hit in Sweden and the American version will be directed by Cloverfield’s Matt Reeves.

Here’s a sneak peek…what do you think? Will Let Me In be the next big thing in vampires in the U.S.? Or do we have to have a beautiful man wanting to suck our blood to make us watch?


According To Prince The Internet Is Un-Hip

No one has heard hide nor hare out of The Purple One in a couple of years, but today this quote popped up from Prince and it made me smile. Yeah, he’s pretty much dissing my livelihood but you gotta admit he’s always been ahead of his time. At least he was 200-odd years ago.

“The internet’s completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it. The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated.

Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can’t be good for you.”

Prince is probably one of the few celebrities people in the world who don’t know how to check his own email.What does he want his fans to do? If he won’t sell his music through iTunes or some online outlet does he still want his fans toting around bulky CD’s?



Tea Leoni Bikini 4th of July Bikini Pictures

44 year-old Teal Leoni rocked her mom body in a two piece while enjoying some down time with her family in Malibu over the holiday.

I’m glad to see that she and hubby David Duchovny have worked things out after his cheating and sex addiction issues. I’m not glad to see her looking so..footballer-ish. She’s got that weird Kate Gosselin body going on. Is there some trainer out there who bulking up all the women over 40 that I don’t know about?

Pictures & Video: Jenna Dewan PETA Ad

I love PETA ads. Sometimes they are campy and cheesy..sometimes they are sexy…sometimes they make you wonder if this certain celebrity really even cares about animals and just wants the press. As in Jenna Dewan’s case.

For those of you who don’t know, she is married to the up and coming Channing Tatum and her career pretty much died the day they got married.

But she looks hot in her PETA ad so maybe it’ll get her some work.


Pictures: Geri Halliwell Catches Boyfriend Staring Down Another Girl

It’s a classic tale. Boy and girl on holiday at some luxury resort. Girl thinks her boyfriend only has eyes for her on their romantic vacation. Girl catches boy very obviously breaking his neck to check out some random chick walking by.

It’s like every man in the world has the exact same wiring on the inside..just a different plastic shell on the outside. It’s not just you ladies….it happens to celebrities too.

Geri Halliwell caught boyfriend Henry Beckwith craning his neck to look a hottie in St. Tropez this weekend. And lucky for us someone caught the whole thing on camera.

“Geri was absolutely fuming. She was shouting at him and telling him what for. Clearly, she was not happy about his wandering eye. As soon as she clocked him, she turned around herself to see what he was looking at and then she twigged.”

I’m assuming “twigged” is the British slang for freaked the flip out.



Samantha Ronson Says Dating Lindsay Lohan Was “A Headache”

I think we all have a little bit of sympathy for Samantha Ronson for dealing with a cracked out Lindsay Lohan for so long. Her quiet DJ life quickly turned into a circus when Lilo came along.

And when she says that being Lindsay’s girlfriend was more of headache than anything..I believe it. But come one Sam…you were nobody until Lindsay came along. You were getting paid $200 a night to DJ in random clubs until Lindsay’s started co-hosting events with you. Suddenly you were spinning at the hottest clubs for $10K a night.

Sam told The Times magazine: “To be honest, being with her was more of a headache than anything else. Everything I was doing I was already doing (before Lindsay). “It just meant there were paparazzi pictures documenting it. It sucked, because I’m a pretty private person and I’d managed to stay under the radar for so long. But at the same time I’m not gonna not hang out with somebody that I care about because of that s**t.”



Dave Chappelle Freak-Out Causes Pilot To Make Emergency Landing

What year is it? He’s not under any major stress to keep pumping out hilarious sketch comedy for The Dave Chappelle Show so why is Dave Chappelle freaking out again? And on an airplane on top of that.

According to TMZ Davd boarded a private jet in New Jersey last night headed to his home city of Ohio. But sometime early in the flight the comedian started freakin’ out and refused to keep his seat belt on. Then Dave repeatedly walked into the cockpit, asking how much longer the flight would be and started grabbing the pilots arm. That’s an in flight no-no of course.

Sources say the pilot determined Chappelle was a safety risk and diverted the plane to Pittsburgh. We’re told Chappelle then checked into a nearby hotel for the night. Sources at the hotel tell us Dave has been telling hotel employees he wanted to rent a car to drive back to Ohio … only he couldn’t remember where he lived.

Chappelle was spotted wandering out of the hotel early this morning.

A rep for Chappelle explains the incident to TMZ by saying Dave really needed to use the restroom — he ate something that didn’t sit well — and the bathroom on the plane was “not the kind he needed.”

I really don’t want to say it. So I’ll let you come to your own conclusions. But it starts with a D and ends with an rugs. Too much 4th of July partying, mayhaps?

Marissa Miller Looking Hot for FHM

Marisa Miller Naked

America’s pride and joy Marissa Miller, voted FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World, opened up her garden gates for a sexy shoot for the men’s mag. As the reason why, she said:

I know men are very visual, so I thought it would be fun to play up the sexy, housewife-next-door fantasy.

Now I have no doubt about how smart she is… because she is so damn right! It takes a woman in her 30′s to really know the nature of the beast!

Anyway, in this hot photo set, not only does Marissa take a wander in her dressing gown dressed in barely nothing, but she also mows the lawn in a bikini top, tiny denim hotpants and heels. If Marissa Miller was your neighbor, your house price would sky-rocket, especially if this is how she reads the morning papers.

Danielle Staub and her Lesbian Lover

Danielle Staub

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub was spotted partying again this weekend with her new “girlfriend,” singer Lori Michaels, in New York City. If you thought no one would stop so low as to pretend to be bisexual and exploit the gay community for publicity, then you haven’t met Danielle Staub. Bur who are we to judge anyway? I mean, as long as they do their job right and they show us some sexy woman to woman moves, we can certainly deal with it.

The two were hanging out all night, and posing for the paparazzi in their sexy little outfits. Danielle and Lori attended Damon Dash’s birthday party at Lucky Strike in the Big Apple. With as much as an attention whore as Danielle Staub is, it wouldn’t surprise me if these two were in the process of making a sex tape sometime soon. Gosh, I really hope my haunch is right!

Eric Johnson: Dating Jessica Simpson!

Having officially cursed the Dallas Cowboys via her two-year relationship with quarterback Tony Romo, Jessica Simpson is moving on to the San Francisco 49ers.

A source close to the singer confirms that she's dating former NFL tight end Eric Johnson, telling People the pair have been together for about a month and: "She is happy that she found a great guy. She's really happy."

Johnson last played professional football in 2007 and retired with nine career touchdown receptions. He's a graduate of Yale University, causing many to wonder what the heck he talks about with Simpson.

Eric JohnsonBad Posture

Simpson isn't the only large-breasted celebrity to nab herself a receiver this season. Kim Kardashian has been spotted out with Miles Austin, while Lindsay Lohan is reportedly dating Eilat Anschel.

She's never played in the NFL, but is on the receiving end of a Lohan meltdown every night.

Jennifer Aniston is Having a Baby ... Now!

Stop us if you've heard this one before. Actually don't, because we know you have, probably several dozen times. But Jennifer Aniston is having a baby!

Only by having a baby, we mean not having a baby.

In case you didn't believe OK's scoop on Jennifer Aniston's baby news just two weeks ago, here's the magazine really driving the point home this time!

In a "shock interview," the perpetually heartbroken star reveals the details of her "exciting family news," the origins of which we can't even imagine.

You gotta get some new material, OK writers ...

Having a Baby NOW!

Jennifer Aniston is pregnant for the 78th time!

Bristol Palin Has No Acting Ambition

Bristol Palin says her acting debut on last night's episode of The Secret Life of the American Teenager was probably her last venture into that career field.

But don't expect her to line up any more acting gigs in the future.

Asked if she wants to pursue an entertainment career after her debut effort, she says, "Not acting. I like doing speaking engagements and stuff like that."

"Right now I'm just focused on raising Tripp," Bristol Palin adds.

B. Palin

The 19-year-old mother of 1 1/2-year-old son Tripp, whose father Levi Johnston, says she was happy to film the episode of The Secret Life just the same.

She appears as a friend of Amy (Shailene Woodley) at a music program for teen moms in NYC: "I didn’t have many lines or anything like that," says Palin.

"I just hope that this show opens up a dialogue between parents and teens - and teens amongst themselves - about the consequences of teen pregnancy."

Is she discouraging or promoting teen pregnancy?

Katy Perry: Topless in Esquire

It may be a tall order to tame a wild man like Russell Brand, but when you have assets (two in particular) like Katy Perry, that gives you a fighting chance.

Said assets can also help one achieve a music career.

The Katy Perry pictures in the August edition of Esquire are proof positive of that, with her hair dyed jet black and suggestive outfits (or no outfits) galore.

Here's the cover photo, which gives you an indication .,..

Katy Perry Esquire Cover

In one pic, Russell Brand's fiance sexes it up in a LBD and knee-high boots, while in another she dons a laced body suit - as she seductively licks her lips.

In two others, Katy strips down to just a pair of high-waisted cut-out, laced briefs and killer heels as she covers herself with her hands. At least partially.

Katy says she's utilized her special skills to tame Russell.

“He used to basically be a professional prostitute, now he’s not. He’s an extremist and that can be good and bad. I need someone stronger than me. And I am, like, a f**king strong elephant of a woman. I say that hopefully in the humblest way I can.”

Tiger Woods: Frustrated, Distracted

Finishing 14 shots back and in a tie for 46th place at the AT&T National tournament this past weekend, Tiger Woods is clearly not playing his best golf.

There's a reason for that, and the legend took a rare moment to disclose his feelings to the press. What did we get from the famously private star?

That he's "frustrated."

Understandably so. His golf comeback has netted some decent rounds, but no titles, and a big part of that can be traced to his imminent divorce.

Various Tiger Woods divorce reports have fueled speculation, as the disgraced golfer's breakup is all but official, and he was having a rough week.

He offered this cryptic comment at a news conference after a bad round: "Outside the ropes there are certainly still distractions. It is what it is."

Tiger W.

NO LOVE: Tiger Woods' putter hasn't been active lately.

Sources say Elin Woods will be bound by a confidentiality agreement as part of the divorce, while Woods can't bring any girlfriends around their kids.

The two will share legal custody of their two children, although Elin will have primary physical custody as she works out visitation schedules with Tiger.

She is set to receive a $100 million settlement as well.

Woods didn't offer any comment on the proceedings after the AT&T National, though he did acknowledge his desire to put his mistakes behind him.

"You're not always going to go through life perfect. No one does," he said. "When you make a mistake, step up to the plate and take ownership of it."

"I think everyone has had distractions in their lives [but] I think that my life out here on tour is becoming more normalized," he told the media.

Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, Pretend to Flirt, Talk Like Annoying Babies

You know I love you, I try to stick it to you whenever I can.

- Scott Disick

Not even Fourth of July Weekend could slow down the writers of Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. They penned such winning lines as the one uttered above and came up with a new episode of this E! reality show last night. We forced an intern to watch and she filed the following report...

It’s honestly hard to get through KKTM these days without Khloe speaking like a 4 year old. It’s really effing killing me, which makes it harder to write this review, but here goes.

Scott and Kourtney are a bipolar couple. The polo event they went to was so staged it was ridiculous. Congrats, producers, for coming up with new locations and storylines to paint the exact story you want. So Kourtney flirts with a hot polo player and Scott doesn’t even care. As she laments to Khloe that it felt sexual to be on the horse with a polo hottie, Scott is in the backseat with the baby deciding aloud that he’s “really in the mood for a taco.”

Khloe Kardashian Wallpaper

The Kardashians are such pros at working the camera and Scott has picked up the tricks of the trade pretty quickly. He knows it makes for better television if he resists Kourtney’s taunting and forces her to take her game to the next level.

This brings us to Kourtney staging a lesbionic reunion with season one fling Jackie. Scott smells BS the second he walks in the door and upstages her. I truly was laughing when he came outside in his robe and suggested a threesome. He’s fully bucko, swinging his dong at these ladies, with his microphone cord visibly hanging behind him.

Scott’s crazy, but he’s definitely amusing. Kourtney calls him a sicko, Jackie leaves, and Scott tells her that he always wants to get down with her, there’s no need to play these games.

Next, Khloe flies back to LA for a few days to see Lamar.

She prances around their mansion in her lingerie and animal print clothing talking like a baby. Oh, the honeymoon stage. Sigh. However, while Khloe wants romance, Lamar just wants some bromance. Rob (possibly my favorite Kardashian) has moved in with Khloe instead of living with his rents at age 23.

I will sincerely say it’s very sweet how Lamar and Rob have bonded. As the youngest sibling in a large family, it is often difficult to integrate your significant other and your siblings. But I digress: Khloe wants to get down with her hubby and the NBA is ruining it.

One of my favorite things about this whacky family is how open they are; But SERIOUSLY, c’mon Khloe and Lamar, you guys are in the tub, that’s beyond private time. You’re not helping fight the media whore rumors when you bring your intimate moments to TV. I mean, I hope his kids don’t watch this.

Lastly, Khloe is getting paranoid. I guess it’s not easy being the wife of a Lakers star. I wouldn’t want a strange ho in my bedroom when I got home, but it seems that she’s more on guard than usual. Nervous about the girl trying to sell stories to the paparazzi and take pics in their bed? Seems kinda extreme, but then again I’m not famous and I wouldn’t know.

Just another week in 100% scripted reality television.

Jake Pavelka-Vienna Girardi Interview Takes Over The Bachelorette, Defies Comprehension

Last night's episode of The Bachelorette was essentially scaled back to an hour and 15 minutes to make room for the Jake Pavelka-Vienna Girardi smackdown.

This left us with two thoughts: 1. This could easily be a one-hour show every week, and 2. This interview was likely the greatest 45 minutes in show history.

There were so many ridiculous comments made and insults traded, The Hollywood Gossip has devoted a separate Bachelorette recap to their joint interview.

Our traditional Bachelorette rundown will follow shortly. Now, for the blow-by-blow of the much-hyped reunion that followed the Breakup of the Century ...

Future Mrs. Pavelka

Introducing the segment on a somber note, venerable host-pimp Chris Harrison pretends not to be ecstatic this fell in ABC's lap. What a great job. Plus 8.

Jake comes out to tell "his side" first. Jerry Springer-esque. Minus 4, if only because a screaming audience and/or chairs thrown would have enhanced this.

Oh, if you have this on DVR, have one person do a shot every time she says "fame whore" and another take one every time he says "undermined." Plus 10.

After Jake Pavelka says he was "blindsided" by the split, Vienna Girardi alleges "emotional abuse." Hard to tell who's lying more in the early going. Minus 3.

He seems genuinely surprised, even now, that Vienna is trashy and not that smart. Plus 4, because 10 million viewers knew this on his season's premiere.

We've never been big fans, per se, but when Jake starts being all condescending about text messages, her family, her dog, etc., we feel bad for V. Minus 7.

Vienna, on Jake complaining that she remeasured their room: "I never picked up a tape measure. I never picked up a tape measure in my life." Plus 12.

For whatever reason, they bleep out Gregory Michael's name, even though Vienna's alleged cheating with Gregory Michael was widely reported. Minus 18.

Jake and Vienna Smackdown

That story about Jake throwing the GPS into the back seat was pathetic and disturbing, but Minus only 5, because you know how guys are about directions.

Asked by Chris what they loved about each other, Jake says Vienna "challenged him." Plus 14, because he definitely just became "the biggest fake liar ever."

Jake: "I believe there is more to relationships than sex and intimacy." Like updating one's Twitter and going on as many reality shows as possible. Minus 9.

Near tears and vehemently denying Jake's accusations of her "flings with other men," Vienna asks Chris if she can take a "poly-o-graph" test. Plus 1,000.

How the HELL does Chris keep a straight face? Plus 7.

When she interrupts Jake, in the midst of apologizing no less, he raises his hand in rage (not quite making a fist, but close) and berates her. Minus 250.

As she storms off in tears, Jake just shakes his head condescendingly. "There she goes again." How would these two EVER work as a couple?! Minus 40.

Minus 200 more, because as entertaining as this was, these morons both need to go away forever now ... and we have a strong suspicion they won't.

Wow. We always knew Jake was an uptight stiff, but we didn't peg him for a misogynistic a$$hole. We can't believe we're saying this, but ... Team Vienna?

TOTAL: +524.

The Most Random PETA Ad Yet

If you thought Miley Cyrus hated clothing, look at the step her ex-boyfriend has taken.

Justin Gaston is featured in the latest naked PETA ad, posing in his birthday suit alongside some girl named Giglianne Braga and some dude named Ben Elliott.

The trio star on If I Can Dream, an online reality show that chronicles their attempts to make it big in the music world. Of course, if that doesn't work out, there's clearly a career in soft porn ahead for these three.

It's unclear what message PETA is trying to send with these posters, but they practically make the Danielle Staub sex tape look PG by comparison...

Random Nudists for PETA

Just when you thought PETA ads couldn't get more random and pathetic.

The Bachelorette Recap: Chris Lambton Melts Our Hearts, Ali Fedotowsky Plays Ty-Breaker

Only four men remain on The Bachelorette now. Maybe you noticed.

Last night's episode of the reality TV saga was dominated by a Jake and Vienna interview for the ages, making everything else seem boring and irrelevant.

Follow the above link for an entire recap devoted to that nonsense. Below, we give Ali Fedotowsky and crew their due as her quest for love hits Portugal.

Here's THG's patented plus-minus rundown of the episode ...

Ali and Roberto Martinez take pictures of each other, hear music on the street and start dancing right there. SO romantic and NOT AT ALL staged. Minus 4.

They make nice conversation about Roberto's family, the hunk says really nice things to Ali, they kiss and we think he's the favorite, hands down. Plus 8.

Cute New Bachelorette

Who will The Bachelorette star choose?

Ty and Frank go on the awkward two-on-one date ever. Minus 5, 'cause they just bitch about the format the whole time. You're on The Bachelorette, guys.

Frank lives with his parents. Minus 4, but Ty does him one better by saying he's "tickled" Ali has a plan and a career of her own. Sexist much? Minus 20.

Kirk's date takes place in a big castle, at which he talks about his illness and how it made him reexamine his life. Again with the mold poisoning. Plus 9.

Minus 12, or approximately one point for each use of the word "hometown." Like saying "wrong reasons" ad nauseam, guess they stick to the script.

Fortunately, Chris Lambton not only refers to his town's name (Dennis, Mass.), he knocks it out of the park on his date. Moped skills aside. Plus 13.

Chris Lambton PictureRoberto Martinez Picture

Chris and Roberto can do no wrong.

The narrative of Chris' mom's death is a wee bit overblown, but he seems so genuinely sweet about it, how can you not give the guy another Plus 11?

Minus 7 for blurring out Chris' Boston Red Sox shirt.

If you're up on The Bachelorette spoilers, you knew that Ty or Kirk was going home at the rose ceremony, and it was Ty in a bit of a surprise. Plus 5.

Again, see the link above for the full rundown, but for all her flaws, sad Vienna Girardi came off 100 times better than pompous Jake Pavelka. Wash.

How funny was next week's preview, considering how much Frank whines about not getting time with Ali, the alleged girl of his dreams?! Minus 15.

TOTAL: -9. SEASON: +130.

Roses: Chris, Roberto, Frank and Kirk.

Out: Ty.

Eclipse Just Misses Box Office Record

So close.

Eclipse came ever so close to knocking Spider-Man 2 from its top perch and establishing a new box office record for a film's first six days in release.

Alas, the third Twilight Saga installment will have to settle for a mere $175 million in domestic earnings so far.

That figure actually falls short of New Moon's opening six-day haul, as it grossed $178 million in less than a week. Still, Eclipse has set a quartet of benchmarks:

  1. Biggest midnight gross of all-time.
  2. Biggest Wednesday ever.
  3. Widest release in cinematic history.
  4. Loudest screams from fans in attendance.

Jacob vs. Edward Pic

Despite a mixed bag of reviews, the movie has made over $275 million worldwide.

While Toy Story 3 continues to bring in the bucks, we'd be surprised if Eclipse wasn't the highest-grossing film of the summer when all is said and done. Instead of staring each other down, Jacob and Edward should really be high-fiving in the photo above.

Cuties in Concert: Justin Bieber and David Archueta Celebrate Fourth of July

Forget fireworks, beach visits and barbecues.

There's only one real way to celebrate the Fourth of July: by sitting back and listening to the melodic sounds of the two most adorable singers alive today.

That's what lucky concert attendees in New York City and Washington D.C. enjoyed on Sunday, as Justin Bieber performed for the former and David Archuleta for the latter.

Fortunately, THG is your hook-up for footage from these events, as you can watch Bieber belt out a version of "Somebody to Love" below and Archuleta follow it up with a rendition of "Stand By Me." Happy birthday, America, thanks for giving us these talented young stud muffins...
