The Leading Voice in Celebrity News & Gossip

A few weeks ago, a few of us from National Lampoon went to the Jamie Jo CD release party in Beverly Hills and had the time of our lives. There were a ton of stars there including the man who walked her down the red carpet, Brett Ratner. There is video of the red carpet and party to follow in a week or so, but for now we wanted you to hear the fresh sound of Jamie Jo. Her single “U Turn Me On” will make you want to dance in front of your mirror using your brush as a microphone.  For more Jamie Jo info go to her website: JamieJo.com

And…you may recognize a voice on that track…it’s a little someone named Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees. Kind of cool…Here are some pictures from the party:

After rumors surfaced that the reason for John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston’s breakup was because of another woman, the Grammy-award winner decided to speak out to put an end to the speculation. After leaving Equinox Gym in New York, Mayer told paparazzi, “There’s no lying, there’s no cheating, there’s no nothing. Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I have ever met.

He further explained, “People are different, people have different chemistry. I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don’t want to waste somebody’s time if something’s not right.”

Ahh, what a sweetheart that Mayer kid is! Always thinking of others first…

Hopefully the next victim on his list isn’t dumb enough to fall for his Your Body is a Wonderland serenades and those oh so romantic & intimate getaways that you see in every single tabloid and celebrity gossip site. Hmm, can you say publicity stunt…?

Mayer, you’re a has-been and a tool. So please just do us all a favor and shut your trap because you know absolutely nothing about relationships and nothing about politics, life, the environment and whatever else you go on blabbering about. You are so annoying.

Oh, and you made out with Perez Hilton! Ha

Saturday evening, Portia de Rossi, 35, and Ellen DeGeneres, 50, exchanged their handwritten vows and said “I do” in the backyard of their $30 million Beverly Hills estate. The intimate ceremony was attended by 19 guests, including Ellen’s mom, Betty, and Portia’s mom, Margaret Rogers, who flew in from Australia.

Both were dressed in Zac Posen and exchanged rings by Neil Lane. De Rossi looked elegant in a backless, light pink dress and her hair in a loose updo. DeGeneres wore an all-white ensemble which included pants, a vest, and button-up shirt.

A witnesses told Us Weekly, “They were hugging and kissing, and looked ecstatic. Ellen was helping Portia with the train of her dress, which looked like a Cinderella tutu… The whole afternoon seemed light-hearted.”

Congrats newlyweds!

College, the movie, is coming out soon.

Read about it here:

An outrageous new comedy that follow in the classic footsteps of “Animal House,” American Pie” and “Old School,” College is the story of three high school friends (Drake Bell, Kevin Covais & Andrew Caldwell) who visit a local college campus as prospective freshman anticipating the best weekend of their lives. Once there, the rowdiest fraternity on campus, headed by womanizing jock Nick Zano, decides to recruit the boys as pledges, subjecting them to endless humiliations, in return for granting them access to the no-holds-barred college party scene.

Though forceds to put up with the humiliating and disgusting antics of the fraternity brothers, the boys still manage to meet sorority girls (haley Bennett, Camille Mana and Nathalie Walker) who mistake them for college freshman. Now, at the though of the boys getting their women, the fraternity increases the pre-frosh humiliation and blackmails the boys by threatening to expose their underage status.

With no choice but to fight back, the three friends retaliate with a major scheme to avenge their tormentors, destroy their fraternity, and win back the hears, minds, and bodies of the sorority girls.

What began as the weekend-from-hell turns into the Best.Weekend.Ever.

Hollywood has suffered yet another untimely loss. Bernie Mac passed away Saturday, August 9th, 2008 due to complications from pneumonia. He was only 50 years old.

After the passing of one of the greatest kings of comedy, Bernie Mac, friends of the loved one have released statements to the public attempting to express their deep sympathy. Here’s what a few have to say of this legendary actor, comedian, and most importantly, an unbelievable friend…
George Clooney: “The world just got a little less funny. He will be dearly missed.”

Chris Rock: “Bernie Mac was one of the best and funniest comedians to ever live, but that was the second best thing he did. Bernie was one of the greatest friends a person could have. Losing him is like losing 12 people because he absolutley filled up any room he was in. I’m gonna miss the Mac Man.”

Brad Pitt: “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with [his wife] Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”

Cedric the Entertainer: “It’s hard to put into words just how I feel and what a painful loss this is. Bernie was a brother, a friend and one of the comic masters of our time. Sharing the marquee with him during the phenomenon of the Kings of Comedy tour bonded us like family, and created a unique moment in comic history making some of the most meaningful, memorable and fun times of our lives…As a husband and father, he was THE MAN and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be truly missed, but so well remembered.”

This loss was devastating. Bernie Mac touched many people and he will always be remembered and missed. Hollywood has lost another individual with great talent…our thoughts are with his family and friends.

The Green Bay Packers and their legendary, three-time MVP quarterback, Brett Favre, have parted ways after 16 victorious seasons and a Superbowl title.  It has been only 24 hours since the official announcement of Favre’s trade to the New York Jets, and all the hype and anticipation is simply unbelievable! Even Farve’s newest green #4 jersey is selling like crazy and it’s only preseason!

The Jets’ chairman and chief executive officer, Woody Johnson, released a statement about Farve saying, “He represents a significant addition to this franchise and reflects our commitment to putting the best possible product on the field.” I don’t suppose the Jet’s humiliating 4-12 season last year has anything to do with all the excitement… The veteran GB could not be in a better position, and if he can’t do better than 4-12 record, perhaps it’s time to just call it quits gramps…

Anyone else thinking Superbowl?

GO JETS!!!!

The newest, “must-have” for all you online gamers has finally arrived! The Ultimate Flirting Championship is a live widget sponsored by Extreme Style VO5, and is probably the closest thing to flirting that you socially awkward, cyber geeks will ever experience so be sure to go check it out!

http://www.flirtchamp.com/

As open-minded as I am, or at least try to be, this is one thing I will never understand.  Who in their right mind would want to waste their time playing a game of “virtual flirting”? Not only is the widget not the least bit amusing or entertaining, it doesn’t even serve its one intended purpose— to help players improve their flirting skills/technique to be named the Ultimate Flirt. This has to be a joke… Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but typing sentences on a computer to randoms over the internet is NOT flirting, and NO, it never will be, geeks….

So, this is how it works….When you first sign on, the widget will ask you for your user name, birthday, and gender, and while it is supposed to also give you the option of choosing whether you want to play as the judge or the flirter, I was automatically assigned the role of the judge whenever I played. The game consists of a judge asking questions to competing flirters who respond with their most flirtatious, charming answers. The judge then selects a winner at the end of each round and after the five total questions are asked, he/she will select the flirting champ, aka the Ultimate Flirt, based on their responses.

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking…This sounds like the stupidest, most pathetic thing you’ve ever heard and I can assure you that playing it is even worse than it sounds, if that’s even possible. Knock yourself out kids!

The 15 year-old Disney diva lashed out at singer, Katy Perry, after she stated in a recent interview that she was hoping to reenact the infamous Madonna lesbian kiss at the Teen Choice Awards with Miley Cyrus. While it was obvious to the rest of the world that Perry was playfully joking, apparently the 23 year-old’s sense of humor didn’t register with the young-in, whose response was completely shocking and inappropriate.

Miley lashed out at Perry in her statement to E! saying,” No thanks. She sang on my record. So I think she’s kind of getting back at me, because she was doing harmonies and backgrounds.”

WHAT??!! This little girl needs a serious reality check! Someone please teach this little girl some manners!

Perry’s revenge was short and sweet, and she responsed to Miley’s ‘low-blow’ by saying, “6 weeks in a row at number one.”

So take that Miley!!!

Shia LaBeouf, actor and notorious ‘bad boy’ who is better known for his run-ins with the law than his featured films, finds his way into trouble once again and this time it is serious. At approximately 3 am on Sunday morning, LaBeouf was involved in a serious collision after making a left hand turn at the intersection of La Brea and Fountain. All parties involved were rushed to the hospital and because there were only minor injuries reported, LaBeaouf was arrested for misdemeanor DUI charges rather than felony. The alchy also lucked out when detectives reported that the actor was not accountable for the car crash since the other driver involved in the collision sped through a red light. Still, we can only hope that LaBaeouf is not just given a slap on the wrist because he needs a wake up call that maybe it’s time to lay off the booze.

Just when we think the D-List reality star is gone for good, Shanna Moakler reminds us otherwise. Making headlines the only way she knows how, Moakler is back to her feuding ways, and this time around, Kim Kardashian is the newest victim. Shanna released a public statement indicating that the altercation began a year and a half ago when Kim was the model the new season of her hubby’s Famous Stars and Stripes clothing line. At this time, Shanna says that she began receiving emails from Kim’s mobile device that described intimate and inappropriate conduct which occurred between herself and Travis Barker, Shanna’s husband at the time. Moakler blames Kim for destroying her marriage and tearing her family apart, blah blah blah.

For the first time since the alleged scandal, the two crossed paths last weekend at a Malibu BBQ, and out came the claws! Isn’t everyone wondering why this was all kept so hush hush for nearly two years and now she is issuing public statements disclosing every detail about this ’scandalous affair’. Something smells very fishy and it’s not just Shanna’s taco! This headcase really needs to get a clue… Not every single female to come within two feet of Travis is after his package. Besides, we all know that Kim is very selective when it comes to her ASSets and it’s pretty clear Travis just couldn’t measure up.

Brooke Hogan guest appeared on E’s Chelsea Lately Tuesday night to promote her new hit VH1 reality series, Brooke Knows Best. Although there was little talk about the show itself, Brooke focused more on her personal life and even confirmed recent circulating rumors that shocked everyone. Brooke finally announced that not only was she approached by Playboy to pose on the cover of their 55th anniversary issue, but also that she is ‘seriously considering’ it. So what is the reason for this diva’s hesitation…? The 20 year old admits that while she has no problem exposing the twins, she is definitely more reluctant to flash her ‘britney’ to the entire world. Still, I have a feeling we will be seeing a whole lot more of this ‘daddy’s little girl’ very soon! Even more disturbing is that Terry will probably be the first one in line to purchase the issue.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay is the 2008 comedy film sequel to the hit stoner comedy from 2004, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

Whether you saw the movie in theaters or not, you’ll want to own the unrated version on DVD to watch over and over again with a different set of buddies each time.

The movie starts right where the first one ended – with Harold and Kumar making a trip to Amsterdam to find Harold’s future girlfriend. Unfortunately, Kumar’s weird looking pipe is mistaken for a pipe bomb resulting in disaster. Suspected of terrorism, they must attempt to escape incarceration at the infamous Guantanamo Bay. They run from the law hoping to prove their innocence, while encountering hilarious yet dangerous scenarios including scary inmates, a bottomless party, the Ku Klux Klan, an inbred Cyclops and many more.

And don’t worry, Neil Patrick Harris is back as the resident shroom-consuming badass he was in the first film.
