Sex, Lies, and Denial – Hollywood Blah Blah, May 14, 2010

February 28, 2023 by SplashPress

Wow, someone went a little crazy on the airbrushing of both the Entertainment Weekly cover of Sex and the City 2, and the poster.

Looks like they’re all in denial. Matt Lauer and wife Annette Roque deny they’ve split, with Lauer saying the claims are fiction. And Alexis Houston denies that she had an affair with Matt Lauer. Alexis is also a singer like step-sister Whitney Houston.

More denial, this time from Alyssa Milano, who’s show Romantically Challenged just canned by ABC. Sorry Alyssa; love you but tweeting that it didn’t “officially” get cancelled doesn’t make it true. While you’re waiting for another opportunity, please feel free to take off your clothes.

Yet more denial from the parents of 6-7 year-old girls whose viral video performance cover of Beyonce’s Single Ladies track is taking heat for sexualizing them. The parents try to explain away the performance in an Inside Edition interview. Sure, it’s easy to say there’s nothing wrong with it when you have to save face and hope the world doesn’t criticize you for not teaching your kids what’s appropriate and what’s way overboard. But then again, in a world where 17 year-old Miley Cyrus grinding and giving lapdances to 44 year-old men (albeit gay) is considered just fun by dad Billy Ray say it’s just fun, it’s no wonder this sort of thing goes on at an even younger age. In my useless opinion, this dance sequence is just as bad, if not worse, than putting makeup on little girls and entering them into beauty pageants. If you want them to learn dance moves to improve their skills, there are far less provocative and shocking and ways to do so – especially for kids so young. At this rate, give them a couple of years and they might be on Trash TV next. I’m not embedding the video here; you can see it at the link above (AmyGrindhouse.com)

Amy Adams should be welcoming her new baby into the world some time later this month. Hopefully Adams doesn’t have to worry about the baby appearing in videos for years.

According to singer M.I.A., baby-face Justin Bieber’s video is more violent than her Born Free video, which features nudity and graphic violence. Of course, she was just kidding.

Still more denial? Well, Tyra Banks has her own novel(s), so why not another celeb, comedian Damon Wayans, who is actually very talented? Wayans’ novel Red Hats is being released by Simon & Schuster.

Biggy Baby Buggy Bumpers – Hollywood Blog Blather, May 10, 2010

February 28, 2023 by SplashPress

Kids today have so much more money at their disposal than previous generations, especially those who’re on TV. Speaking of which, you might think that Miley Cyrus is the richest kid on TV, but it’s actually Angus T. Jones, who plays Charlie Sheen‘s character’s really dumb, food-obsessed nephew Jake Harper on Two and a Half Men.

While Cyrus makes about $15K per episode, she makes most of her money in concerts and CD sales, making her worth about a billion dollars. But Jones on the other hand makes a phenomenal per episode salary that rivals many adult TV actors’ salaries: $250K. He’s been on the show since he was 10 (now 16) and his doofus character is instrumental to the humor and popularity of the show. The second highest paid child actor on TV is iCarly’s Miranda Cosgrove, who pulls in $180K per episode. All the rest in NY Post’s list make $25K or less per episode, which is still a pretty nice sum for being so young.

And then there’s the really young kids like Suri Cruise, who got to spend a day at the spa with mommy Katie Holmes and some unnamed little girl pal.

And then there are the baby mommas who are kids themselves. If Bristol Palin doesn’t watch out, she might end up behind bars. She’s been oh so much of a role model for young women. Bet her family-values mom is so proud of her. First Bristol becomes a teen mom, then she decides to go out and party in a New York City nightclub. (Who’s watching the baby? It ain’t grandma.) Problem is, she’s only 19, so still under the age limit. Or maybe this is exactly what will propel her mom Sarah Palin into becoming a U.S. presidential candidate in 2012?

If you’re like Bristol and about to have a baby, you might like to know that the popular baby names right now are Isabella and Jacob, according to the Social Security Administration. Both are names of characters in the popular vampire books and TV series Twilight.
