Angelina gets wrecked in Cannes?

Today, hogs are taking to the air and the temperature in hell is a cool -10 degrees. Why? Because Angelina Jolie, arguably the sexiest woman alive, is, for the first time, not looking all that hot in recent photographs taken from a party in Cannes.

Take a gander at these pictures: she’s almost unrecognizable here. She still looks good, but doesn’t something appear off about her? Plus, as Perez Hilton speculates, she may very well be on her way to a big hangover.

Angelina supporters will say that the pictures just caught her in an awkward moment whereas her haters will say that she’s probably had some “work” done recently. Where do you stand on this vital issue of our day?

Angelina? Is that you?

More on Bette Midler and Fitty!

Yesterday I spoke about a photo showing rap star 50 Cent walking arm in arm with singer Bette Midler, unsure of how or why these two came together.

Now we finally have some answers. Turns out that Mr. Cent has been helping Midler's group, the New York Restoration Project, build a public garden in his childhood neighbourhood, and has had a huge impact on her charity work.
Midler says Fitty has "made her life worth living.”

She adds: "He is one of the newest members of our tribe. He has really made my life worth living. 50 has been with me through thick and thin. He is such a gorgeous star - holy cow! He's like the Godfather of Jamaica, Queens."

Fitty is equally enamored with the 63-year-old singer. Speaking at the spring picnic for the New York Restoration Project in Fort Tryon Park, the 33-year-old star said: "Look how beautiful things are and how nice it feels when I'm around her. Me and Bette collaborating would be really hot. But I'd need to make something new for her. For the right song, we'd definitely get together."

This is perhaps the most unlikely friendship Hollywood has ever seen. I smell a buddy cop movie coming up. Fitty can be the rookie cop. Midler can be the hardened chief of police, where at some point in the film, she will undoubtedly utter the phrase, “I’m getting too old for this sh-t.”

Get Rich or Die Tryin' 2: Every ROSE Has It's Thorn

Clay Aiken trashes Idol, Lambert

Move over, Spencer Pratt, Kate Gosselin, Heidi Montag, A-Rod, Carrie Prejean and all you other douchebags. There’s a new douchebag in town, and his name is none other than Clay Aiken. The former Idol star has taken to his blog, which he CHARGES FOR by the way, to bite the hand that fed him. In order to read his personal thoughts, you would have to shell out $29.95 for the privilege. This makes Aiken the only person in the world charging for a blog.

So what did Aiken have to say? First of all, he trashes Adam Lambert:

“Now that it's all over, and for the record.... I couldn't be happier about the way AI ended this year. I only turn the show on once a season, and only to see what the set looks like each year. This year, I happened to turn it during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing "Ring of Fire" and, at that moment, thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening! I wasn't really a fan and found myself surprised whenever folks told me that they liked him. Granted, I never saw another performance (and many folks who I trust said that he was great) but I can't imagine I would have enjoyed it.

Then he condemns the show for not being real:

“The show was different then, and folks made it in seasons 1-3 because they were "real" people who happened to sing/entertain well. But, somewhere along the way, AI stopped being about real people.”

Someone is bitter because he didn’t get to live out his dream of singing a duet with Adam Lambert (that’s the rumor I’m hearing). I guess Aiken has a right to his opinion, but he does not have the right to charge people for reading it.

Aiken is achin' about not being asked to appear on Idol

Perez Hilton turns on Adam Lambert, calls him “homo”

In other Lambert news, now we have big Lambert supporter Perez Hilton trashing the Idol runner-up. Seems like Perez is all bent out of shape because Lambert refuses to come out of the closet.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the former musical theater actor was asked bluntly about the "dangling speculation" about his sexuality.

His reply? "It's not dangling over my head. [Laughing] It may be dangling over yours, but it's not over mine. Yeah, I think speculation keeps things really interesting."

What does Perez have to say about this?

“Adam Lambert is lame. The guy still refuses to admit his homosexuality. And his reasoning is stupid! What? Why? The f--king show is over! Just admit it, homo, so we can all go home! Oh, screw you. You can't hide forever, just ask Clay Aiken.

Not sure what to think about all this. I admire Lambert’s right to keep his sexual preference to himself, but in a case where the whole world can pretty much figure it out, Perez may have a point, especially as an openly gay celebrity who isn’t ashamed about his sexuality.

Perez Hilton vs. Adam Lambert in Celebrity Wrestling. I'd pay to see it.

Memorial Day box office battle

This weekend, two movies are expected to do huge business at the box office. Both Terminator Salvation and Night at The Museum 2 are battling it out in the first big long weekend of the summer in the US.

Analysts are unsure which film will take the #1 spot. The safe bet is on Museum, as most Hollywood studio execs are wishing Terminator good luck in getting women to see the film. It’s tracking almost all male, which isn’t a good sign for getting the top spot, especially against a comedy with lots of stars and even more special effects. Museum may rake in around $75 million.

UPDATE: Online ticket sales as of Friday afternoon have Night At The Museum 2 selling 45% of online tickets, Terminator Salvation 34%, Star Trek 9%, Angels & Demons 6%.
