Wade Robson has sent a very clear message to Joe Jackson: Zip it… or else! The choreographer – who has come under fire for accusing Michael Jackson of molestation – sent a cease and desist letter to that family’s patriarch on May 25. It demands that Joe stop slandering Robson (he told TMZ last week that Wade is being paid to lie) or face legal consequences. Writes Robson’s attorney in the document to Jackson: “Your statement is particularly reprehensible in light of the fact that [Wade] has only recently been able to come forward which is so typically characteristic and tragic for so many survivors of sexual abuse… Any trier of fact would conclude your statement was malicious, intended to further injure our client.” Of course, Joe Jackson isn’t the only one who has slammed Robson for his allegation that Michael forced him to perform sex acts and keep quiet. Debbie Lowe, the father of MJ’s children, believes Robson is a liar ; while Tom Meserea – a lawyer who defended The King of Pop in his 2005 molestation case – has also made his opinion quite clear. “This is a pathetic and an obvious grab for publicity and an attempt to put pressure on [Michael Jackson’s] Estate to pay him money,” Meserea says of Robson’s charge. What do you think of Wade Robson’s molestation story? He’s totally lying and just wants money. It’s probably true and MJ should pay. View Poll »
This would be funny if it weren’t so racist. On Sunday night, a Papa John’s employee dropped off a delivery to an African-American couple in Sanford, Florida. He then drove away and accidentally called the couple to whom he had just brought the pizza, slamming them in a voicemail for being bad tippers and also for being… black. “That’s the only requirement for being a n-gger in Sanford,” says the voice in the message. “Yeah, they gave me five bucks there. Fine, outstanding African-American gentleman of the community.” The customer went ahead and filmed the voicemail – which includes a racial slur-filled, made-up song – and posted it online. Listen now and take solace: The delivery man has been fired. Papa John’s Racist Voicemail
Really, Justin Bieber? Again?!? The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has confirmed to E! News that officers paid this singer a visit at his home last night after neighbors complained Bieber was driving recklessly . No other details are available right now and no one from Bieber’s camp has commented… but this FAR from the first time Justin has been accused of speeding around like a maniac. In March, Bieber got into it with a man next door – allegedly spitting on him during their confrontation – because the neighbor took issue with how fast Justin was driving with kids around. In July 2012, Bieber was cited for reckless driving after a high-speed chase with the paparazzi. In December 2011, he was pulled over for making an illegal turn . In October 2011, he actually cut off a cop on the road. So, the question must now be asked: Should Justin Bieber have his license suspended? Yes, he’s out of control! No, he’s adorable! View Poll »
I was one of many who heard about Max Brooks#39; satirical guide book The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead. Being a huge fan of George A. Romero#39;s Dead series of films and just the zombie subgenre in general, I was intrigued by the release of this guidebook. From the first page to the last I was impressed, entertained, and hooked on Brooks#39; serio-comic take on how to survive a zombie outbreak. One section of the book which really caught my interest and has re
Star Wars , Indiana Jones , Blade Runner … Anchorman? Yes, aging action star Harrison Ford has joined the cast of Anchorman 2 ! Production on the much-anticipated comedy sequel is already underway, but since filming began last week, four new names have been added to the cast, including John C. Reilly and Meagan Good .

And that’s a wrap! Already?!?! Apparently the women of “Starter Wives Confidential” weren’t able to out-clout all their various exes and enemies because TLC will no longer be airing the show on television. But fans of the program will be able to see it online. Funkmaster Flex’s soon to be ex-wife Monica Joseph-Taylor announced the news via MommysDirtyLittleSecrets.com If you want to watch the remainder of episodes of Starter Wives Confidential you will have to go online to TLC.com. Ask me why? ::Long pause:: Is it ratings? Is it a change in network direction…or all the outside drama?! It’s no secret Starter Wives Confidential was plagued by legal inquiries and possible lawsuits from the beginning. Starting with Shanequa Tompkins being missing from all the episodes, her ex 50 cent allegedly had an agreement or contract with her of some sort that either prevented or made it difficult for her to partake in the show. I know before taping even began I was questioned about my posts relating to anyone connected with Lamar Odom. Luckily TLC had no control over what I do or can post so it became a non-issue. I never did find out who was putting pressure on them. Cut to the Lil Kim situation, one which I’m still confused about and can’t even confirm if there is a law suit. Bringing a show with women of color to TLC we always knew was a challenge and I love that they believed in our stories and gave us a voice. A voice, honesty, love, a lot of drama, and a bit of ratchetness. (Usually required for any good reality show.) I can only imagine there were a lot of people who were afraid what would come out on Starter Wives Confidential and as you saw from the first few episodes, the ladies were NOT holding back! Trust me it gets better and much juicier. But I digress. (I always wanted to say that in a post.) I want to say that from the very bottom of my soul the support and love from viewers was more amazing then I imagined. Even the haters felt our show was genuine. I love that personally I got to not only bond with 5 amazing women but was allowed to show that not all celebrity wives sit home, model, or are simpletons. For the first time people got to know who I really am, if even just a little bit. So it SUCKS that you have to watch episodes online but it beeeez like that sometimes. But make sure you still log onto http://www.mommysdirtylittlesecret.com everyday for the latest news, gossip, and info (c’mon y’all know me by now, why pretend anymore #endlesspromotion #bossb**ch #keepitmovin #letmefinish) P.S. I realize I didn’t answer why we are not being aired anymore…you will just have to judge for yourself. ::Closes the shades carefully as she writes and presses send:: – Monica Taylor Well at least they’ll get their glory on the good ol’ web riiight? Why do you think the show was axed from the air — yet still allowed to play online?
There’s always that one in the group that we all know is useless but we tolerate anyway. After Pt. 1 , it was clear that many of you agreed so, naturally, we HAD to make a Pt. 2. Here are ten more worthless group members. Take a look.
This day should be about laying this young girl to rest, not about who is in the crowd Former Congressman Criticizes Michelle Obama Attending Hadiya Pendleton Funeral Former Congressman Joe Walsh might be out of Washington for good, but that’s not stopping him from slinging slander at First Lady Michelle Obama in ridiculous fashion. The former Tea Party motor mouth recently took to his Twitter to slam the FLOTUS for deciding to attend the funeral of 15-year-old slain Chicago teenager Hadiya Pendleton , who performed at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration just one week before she was senselessly gunned down in front of her school. Hadiya’s death received national attention and even prompted a response from the First Family, who expressed their condolences to the her family through the White House spokesperson, but Walsh felt that this was a slap in the face to the other 553 Chicago murder victims of 2012 and 2013. He tweeted: The First Family can’t possibly attend the funeral of every young person who sadly falls victim to violence. And in addition to the fact that this young girl performed during Inauguration, her family also petitioned for the Obamas to attend her funeral , so it’s no surprise that this case in particular happened to stand out and get national attention from the White House. But, we’d like to hear what you think Bossip fam. Does this former Congressman have a point?
If Quentin Tarantino ‘s demonstrative hand gestures don’t distract you too much, here’s an interesting clip in which the Django Unchained director discusses the influence that crime novelist Elmore Leonard had on his formative years as a screenwriter and filmmaker, as well as his appreciation of actress Pam Grier. Rolling Stone posted this exclusive video , which is part of the bonus material included in Tarantino XX , a 10-disc Blu-Ray box set that collects the eight movies from the first 20 years of his career: Reservoir Dogs , True Romance, Pulp Fiction , Jackie Brown , both Kill Bill films, Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds . In what appears to be a Film Independent Q&A on Tarantino’s 1997 film Jackie Brown , which was adapted from a Leonard novel, the filmmaker explains that he used to read the writer’s books and “adapt them into movies in my mind,” asking himself: “How would I turn this into a movie?” He adds that engaging in that mental exercise, “years before I could ever afford to make a movie, really..helped me with my structure.” There’s also a curious moment at the end of the clip where Tarantino talks about wanting “to be Josef von Sternberg” to Pam Grier’s “Dietrich.” While I appreciate Tarantino’s appreciation of Grier’s talent, I think that line says more about him than her. Von Sternberg made the little known Marlene Dietrich a star when he cast her in The Blue Angel and then worked with her for five more films. Grier was hardly an unknown when Tarantino began working with her. Thanks to her roles in Coffy and Foxy Brown , Grier was already a cult icon. Tarantino merely reminded us of that. He also didn’t exactly make her a star. [ Rolling Stone ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
So this is happening: “For all you fans of the Centipede Sequence Series, Principal photography on Human Centipede 3 will take place in the Southern states of the U.S and Writer-director Tom Six himself will play a supporting role in the film. The American finale will be 100% politically incorrect and will answer questions left lingering from the first films. The Human Centipede 3 will have a 500+ person ‘pede. XXXXL American style! ” That’s a statement from The Human Centipede 3 producer Ilona Six , who confirmed plans for a third Human Centipede movie in a press release announcing a fancy new Blu-ray/DVD release of The Human Centipede (2009) and The Human Centipede 2 (2011) for UK audiences just in time for Halloween. But while we actually enjoyed The Human Centipede (2009) (much more than we thought we would, in fact), after the pointless exercise in shock value that was The Human Centipede 2 (2011) we have just one lingering question: does anybody actually want a third installment? Think you’ve got a steel stomach? Then put yourself to the test with barf-worthy scenes from A Serbian Film (2009), Saw III (2006), Hostel (2005) and more right here at MrSkin.com!
