Janice Dickinson, the self-proclaimed world’s first supermodel, was filmed last night by the paparazzi as she was coming in and out of Nobu restaurant in Los Angeles. The 54-year-old, who regained her fame as a contestant on The Surreal Life, was either drunk, high or both last night and was stumbling around verbally attacking the paparazzi. She calls them every dirty name in the book, and no foul language is spared - they’re bleeped out for you in the video.
What’s troubling about this video is that her handlers and/or Nobu staff were more than willing to allow her to get behind the wheel despite her obvious intoxication. Thankfully, her male friend stepped up at the last minute and took the driver’s seat. Dickinson was in no shape to do any driving, and it seems to me that in Hollywood the drunk driving rules just go out the window.
It’s funny watching Dickinson come across like a total buffoon here. We can laugh at her all we want but if she were to have taken the wheel it would have been a different story.
Yesterday, Maxim magazine revealed their list of the 100 hottest women in the world. Their logic for determining which hottie is hotter than the others is completely random however, and the list seems more arbitrary than anything else. For instance: Heidi Montag ranking higher than Olivia Munn? Are you kidding me?
But really, who wants to get tied up in their logic when all we want is to just see the damn pictures. Click away, boys!
Yesterday, Variety confirmed that director Martin Scorcese would be directing a biopic on Frank Sinatra. Marty has always preferred to work with Leonardo DiCaprio, and Leo is probably his first choice. But Nikki Finke is reporting that Universal wants Johnny Depp to play Ol’ Blue Eyes.
Depp or DiCaprio? Either way, I don’t think they can go wrong. What do you think? Is there anyone else that should be considered for the role? No Zac Efron or Robert Pattinson, please.
This video is hilarious. Walking out of a boutique in Beverly Hills, Katherine McPhee was swarmed by a group of paparazzi. They follow her down the street bombarding her with questions, but the fifth season runner-up Idol wasn’t in the mood to talk.
Just as everyone was about to cross the street, a random homeless woman swoops in and leads McPhee by the arm into safety in a nearby building. The woman then re-emerges, berating the paparazzi for their behaviour and proceeds to make kicking motions with her leg.
I LOVE this woman. I think she’s the new superhero to the stars – saving them from the evil paparazzi and their dastardly plans to destroy privacy. She’s like the female equivalent of Hancock: a homeless superhero!
Killers singer Brandon Flowers upset with Americans' musical tastes
In a recent interview with the UK’s NME, Killer’s frontman Brandon Flowers spoke out against American rock fans, saying that all they want to listen to is Led Zeppelin and Nirvana.
Flowers says, "We’ve been embraced in Britain in a way that I’ll never understand, and it’s such a wonderful thing," he says. "But over here [in America], people are still so obsessed with Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, those sorts of bands, that nobody else is allowed [to grow]. It’s not just us there are a lot of great bands that have been held down or confined by the influence of these people that we’ve put up on pedestals. I’m tired of it, you know? I just want to knock them all off! And people don’t like that attitude. It’s almost like they don’t believe that it’s possible that anybody else can be the real deal."
I think he has a point. I enjoy the odd classic rock tune, but I don’t understand why there are so many people that prefer to only listen to classic rock and refuse to embrace newer bands. They can argue that there’s nothing good being produced anyway, but that’s just a cop out. The Okanagan is a great example of this – we have countless classic rock stations and zero, none, nada, zip that focus on newer rock. How are bands supposed to grow this way?
His songs may be nothing but a release of negative energy (and his new Relapse CD is no different) but you can’t say that Eminem lacks empathy.
Eminem is teaming up with Jimmy Kimmel to fly about 200 laid-off autoworkers to Los Angeles for Friday's taping of his appearance on Kimmel's show.
The Michigan rapper says he and Kimmel want to remind everyone that real people are being affected by what's going on in Detroit. He tells the Detroit Free Press that news reports ignore people who have lost their jobs without getting big payouts after dedicating themselves to the auto industry.
In other non-negative Eminem news, Detroit’s Metro Times interviewed Mr. Marshall Mathers and the rapper reveals that one of his personal mentors is none other than Sir Elton John!
In the interview, Em says, “I talk to Elton a lot. We became friends and I talk to him about things, career wise. And he had a substance abuse problem in the past. He’s somebody who’s in the business and can identify and relate to the lifestyle and how hectic things can be. He understands like the pressure and any other reasons that you wanna come up with for doing drugs, you know. Me and him have had similar lives and stuff. So I reached out to him and told him, ‘Look, I’m going through a problem and I need your advice.’ ”
The pair got together on stage for the MTV video awards several years ago. Can a recorded duet be a possibility in the near future? What a pair!
Jay-Z is a bigger diva than Beyonce!
Website thesmokinggun.com just leaked a rider for rapper Jay-Z, and the demands are more than diva-like! His wife Beyonce is known for being the Diva (I’ma I’ma a Diva, I’ma I’ma a Diva… man that song is catchy) but this rider is just ridiculous.
The link below shows the full document, but specifically, here’s the lowdown on what Jigga requires: He needs to be transported around town in a late-model black Maybach (either the 57 or 62 model) with tinted windows. Carter's dressing room (72 degrees, please) must be stocked with Sapporo beer, vodka, tequila, and two bottles of $300 Champagne. Oh, and the 39-year-old performer also needs two bottles (at $200 apiece) of 2004 Sassicaia, which his rider helpfully describes as a "Red, Italian Wine from Bolgheri Region." Additionally, Carter requires "Good Quality" peanut butter and jelly, one martini shaker, 12 shot glasses, and a pack of Marlboro Lights.
This is not HOVA. This is DIVA. Dude makes Beyonce look humble.
