Bree Olson slash Rachel Oberlin is no goddess in the eyes of the law. Charlie Sheen’s former plaything pleaded guilty to a DUI charge Tuesday. The charge stemmed from the porn actress’ arrest in Indiana back in February. According to INCNow (dot) tv, Bree reached a deal with prosecutors in which she will serve one year of unsupervised probation if she stays out of trouble. Olson (whose real name is Rachel Oberlin) must also finish an unspecified amount of community service in the next year. Official sentencing is set for May 3. Bree, who dumped Charlie Sheen presumably for good last weekend, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of DUI after crashing her car February 3. It was originally reported that she was merely taking a leave of absence as one of his goddesses while she returned to Indiana for this DUI sentencing. Alas, the rift turned out to be more serious and the split permanent. But that doesn’t mean there are hard feelings, as Bree is still close with him .
We normally associate celebs Tweeting with funny, insightful or utterly vapid thoughts. In this case, though, one star used it to save a fan’s life. Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids on the Block and Blue Bloods fame was able to reach out to his followers and find a new kidney for a very sick fan. A tweet from the fan’s best friend who was trying to raise awareness about the girl’s critical situation, because one of her kidneys was failing fast. Donnie re-tweeted the link to his 183,000 followers, asking for help … prompting a barrage of phone calls to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. According to the Boston Herald , the deluge of calls yielded not one, but six matches for Bobbette Miller, who is now scheduled for a transplant in June. All in 140 characters or less. Great story, right? [Photo: WENN.com]
While his castmates Amy Adams, Christian Bale, and Melissa Leo got Oscar nominations for their roles in The Fighter (out this week in a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack from Paramount Home Entertainment) — with the latter two winning the trophy — Mark Wahlberg’s performance went unheralded. (He did, however, share in the film’s Best Picture nod as one of its producers.) But given the larger-than-life quality that Bale and Leo, in particular, brought to their roles, it seemed like an intentional call on the part of Wahlberg and director David O. Russell to let Wahlberg’s on-screen personality recede a bit so the spotlight could shine elsewhere. Still, he’s just fine in the film, and it inspired me to think of the sublime (and the ridiculous) turns he’s had elsewhere — and no, we’re not counting The Marky Mark Workout in either category.

You know how it goes: More and more often, you just don’t have the bandwidth to process a movie review of intellect, substance and/or proper English. And in your vexation, you sigh and wonder to yourself, ” God, when will someone pleeeeease dilute criticism to a more digestible tweet length? ” Here you go: Movie Tweeviews. It is what it sounds like. Sample : “THE FIGHTER is engaging, start to finish. Bale & Adams are great & Wahlberg is a brute force, but the emotional crescendos are muted.” I smell the future.

Posted onDecember 15, 2010by|Comments Off on Not You: Mark Wahlberg’s Fake For Your Consideration Ad for The Fighter
Sometimes the Internet is a miserable place, filled with know-it-alls, egomaniacs, ingrates, trolls and all other assorted forms of villainy; other times, it produces this video of Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter saying “not you” to an assorted array of random celebrities and cartoons. Thanks, Internet! You’re good for today. Click ahead to watch. No, not you. Not you either. OK, you can.
Sports Illustrated features the actor Mark Wahlberg, 39, stripped down to fighter gear, and lauds the film as the “Best Sports Movie of the Decade.” This also marks one of the rare times in the 56-year history of the publication (which, like us is part of Time Inc.) that a non-athlete has graced the cover. Mark Wahlberg not only received glowing reviews for his undertstated performance as the real-life junior welterweight Mickey Ward in The Fighter, but he unexpectedly landed a national magazin
Posted onDecember 14, 2010by|Comments Off on Did You Know Mariah Carey’s Mother Saved Christmas Last Night?
We’ve been sidetracked with Golden Globe news (and blues) today, so let’s refresh ourselves with an update from the Lord: Christmas is saved! I knew Mariah Carey’s ABC Christmas special “Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to You” would revive yuletide cheer last night, but I didn’t know that Mariah Carey’s opera diva mother Patricia Carey would summon Jesus himself off a platinum, myrrh-dotted cloud and to his feet in applause. Get ready for the definitive, divalicious version of “O Come All Ye Faithful.”
