Paris Jackson and Macaulay Culkin Got Matching Tattoos, Because of Course They Did

You may have heard that Macaulay Culkin recently cut his long, wonderful hair pretty drastically. But he’s also working as an actor again, which is great. Well, that’s not the only change that he’s made to his appearance — and this one’s a little more permanent. Not every godfather gets matching tattoos with his goddaughter, but that’s just how Macaulay Culkin and Paris Jackson roll. We love these two. Individually, for their talents and eccentricities and personalities. But also for their unique bond as celebrities who became famous at young ages, and who both have no shortage of affection for the late musical legend Michael Jackson. And now they share something else … in the form of matching tattoos on their arms. Paris shared a photo of the two of them showing off their matching tats on Snapchat. The tattoos are of … spoons. Paris Jackson has tattoos already , of course. Like, something in the area of 50 tattoos. She loves them and she uses them for self-expression. Part of that self-expression means honoring her late father. Macaulay, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to have any tats on his arm — except for this one. But hey, you go that extra mile when it comes to bonding with your goddaughter, right? Macaulay does, at least. We all remember when  Paris gave Macaulay a pedicure . Now, we’ll be honest with you … we don’t know what the spoon tattoos are supposed to mean. Since we don’t think that it’s a wildly tasteless drug reference, our first thought was that it might have some sort of New Agey significance. As we know,  Paris Jackson is very spiritual . We looked up the possible meanings of spoons, and when they show up in dreams, they involve the quest for your personal fulfillment and the tools that one needs to achieve it. We explored some other options — some people get spoon tattoos for chronic illness (a reference to spoon theory). But the fact of the matter is that we don’t know why they got that as a tattoo. It may be an inside joke. They may even just be trolling people. We love that they have so much that they can share and enjoy with each other. Including matching spoon tattoos. (Whatever they may mean.) It’s good that they can share, since they both lost the same great man in their lives and are both still feeling that loss. We … would still like an explanation for what the spoons mean in this context, though.

Angelina Jolie: Risking Her Life For Another Baby?!

Reports are surfacing that Angelina Jolie wants another baby – so badly that after undergoing a double mastectomy , she is willing to risk her life to do so. Following her double mastectomy in February, which she underwent after learning she’s a carrier for the faulty BRCA1 gene, she vowed to go even further. Jolie said she would soon need another operation to remove her ovaries to further reduce her cancer risk, though it’s not clear when she’ll have that. Family friend Marie Miles reveals that Angelina may be delaying that second surgery because she wants to have another baby with fiancé Brad Pitt. “I think in the next few years she will have more kids, that’s why she’s waiting,” says Marie, the goddaughter of Jolie’s late mother, Marcheline Bertrand. And while insiders say that Angelina is aware of the risks that come along with postponing the surgery to have them removed, but won’t let that stop her. “Angelina is a very strong-willed woman,” says an alleged family insider. “If she’s decided to have another baby, she won’t change her mind.” What do you think: Will Angelina have another child? And is putting off the preventative surgery to do so worth the risk if she wants to add to her brood? Share your comments with THG below!

Chris Brown and CM Punk: Twitter Feud Alert!

If you thought Tweeting birthday wishes to Rihanna was the most talked-about thing Chris Brown would do all day on social media, you thought wrong! WWE heavyweight champion CM Punk and the hot-tempered R&B singer have been going at it on Twitter. It’s safe to say you could call punk a “hater.” Punk randomly tweeted that he wants to “curb stomp” Brown at an upcoming WWE event, so Brown can “fight somebody that can defend themselves.” Brown caught wind of the tweet … and decided to fire back. He wrote: “@CMpunk needs more followers. Such a leader! Not to mention the roids hes on has made it utterly impossible for him pleasure a women.” Zing. In his typical, sarcastic tone, Chris went on to add, “@CMpunk contact my assistant and I’ll have em send u an autographed pic for my biggest FAN!!!” Seriously, Chris, please put the phone down, man. Why do you think the “haters” won’t let you move on? You’re just making it worse on yourself. CHILL. Chris’ tweet about Punk’s junk not working has obviously been removed. Something tells us Brown’s mom is going to be far from pleased about this. CM Punk, who has said that he’s never taken drugs, has not responded to the steroid allegations or the implication that he can’t please “a women.” Also no word on whether Chris accepts this fight invite: [Photos: WENN.com]

Aretha Franklin Honors Whitney Houston in Concert

Due to leg spasms and muscle pain, Aretha Franklin was unable to attend Whitney Houston’s funeral on Saturday, canceling not only her appearance but a planned performance in honor of her goddaughter, as well. But the late legend was very much in Franklin’s thoughts the evening before, as she played a concert for fans at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and honored Houston with a pair of covers. “Remember the hits and forget the misses,” Aretha told the crowd. “I’ll always look back and remember her singing…” And, with that, Franklin broke into a rendition of “I Will Always Love.” Watch it and a version of “The Greatest Love of All” now: Aretha Franklin Covers “I Will Always Love You” Aretha Franklin Covers “The Greatest Love of All”

How Did Aretha Franklin React to Whitney Houston’s Death?

In the wake of Whitney Houston’s death, the public has heard numerous responses from those that knew the legend well ( Ray J ) to know those speculating wildly in order to increase ratings ( Nancy Grace ). But few were closer to Houston than Aretha Franklin, the artist’s godmother. She spoke to The Today Show this morning about actually hearing the tragic news. “I had just finished watching George Clooney in The Descendants and I flipped back to the regular TV and maybe two minutes after I did that, it came across the screen. I just jumped off the side of the bed [and said] ‘What?’ This could not be. What is this? I just said, ‘Oh my, God.'” Franklin said she had seen previews for Sparkle, a film Houston had recently completed shooting, and was confident the movie would lead to a comeback. “She looked fresh, she looked healthy and she looked gorgeous,” the iconic singer said. “I thought, ‘Yes, she has conquered her challenges and she’s on the way.'” Aretha will sing at Houston’s funeral tomorrow and hopes the public doesn’t focus on “the challenges” her goddaughter faced, but, instead, on all the positive aspects of her life. She even penned the following lyrics to memorialize Houston: Twinkle twinkle superstar/We don’t wonder where you are/Up above the world so bright/Like a diamond in the night/Twinkle twinkle she stood alone/I can’t believe that she’s gone.

Amy Winehouse’s Final Stage Appearance With Goddaughter Dionne Bromfield

Irvin Kershner, Director Of ‘The Empire Strikes Back,’ Dies At 87

The filmmaker, who also helmed the Bond flick ‘Never Say Never Again’ and ‘Robocop 2,’ passed away in Los Angeles. By Tom DiChiara Irvin Kershner Photo: Jean-Christophe Verhaegen/ AFP/ Getty Images Irvin Kershner, best known for directing the “Star Wars” sequel “The Empire Strikes Back,” has died at the age of 87. The filmmaker passed away at his Los Angeles home after a long bout with an unspecified illness, his goddaughter Adriana Santini told French news service AFP on Monday. Born in 1923 in Philadelphia, Kershner studied music, painting and photography before turning his focus to filmmaking in the early 1950s. He got his start directing documentaries in Iran, Greece and Turkey for the United States Information Service, then returned to the States to develop the TV series “Confidential File” and “The Rebel.” Kershner made his feature directorial debut with “Stakeout on Dope Street” in 1958 and went on to direct a number of well-known films, including 1960’s “Hoodlum Priest” and 1966’s “A Fine Madness,” starring Sean Connery and Joanne Woodward. In 1980, Kershner directed “Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back,” the sequel to George Lucas’s 1977 space-opera hit, arguably the series’ best-loved and most critically acclaimed installment. While “Empire Strikes Back” is certainly the film for which Kershner is most fondly remembered, he’s also known for helming 1983’s unauthorized James Bond film “Never Say Never Again” — which saw Sean Connery return to the role of 007 — and 1990’s “Robocop II.” Kershner did a bit of acting in his day as well. He made his big-screen debut in Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ” in 1988, and also appeared as a filmmaker in the 1994 Steven Seagal vehicle “On Deadly Ground.” At the time of his death, Kershner was still actively working in photography. The Force was strong with this one.
