As previously reported Keri suggested on Twitter that we “thank” the white NAACP leader for masking as a black woman for several years… and after she got SLAMMED (in particular by the BeyHive)… she decided to clear the air via fan question on Twitter.

Amanda Bynes is back on Twitter, which is a good thing for bored office workers, but a bad thing for the many who are concerned for the actress’ mental health and general well-being. While she’s not doing anything as severe as falsely accusing her father of sexual assault , her recent tweets are troubling, nonetheless. Today, for example, Amanda attempted to retract her claim that she’s engaged to Caleb Pusey in a fashion that she suggests that she’s unaware of statements she made to the press just a few weeks ago. “When I said I was engaged it wasn’t to Caleb Pusey,” Amanda tweeted this morning. “I don’t look myself up online and I just did and I saw a bunch of articles saying that.” “He isn’t who I was engaged to – he’s not my friend. He’s not a good person and I don’t call him a friend so i don’t know why he thought I was talking about him.” The thing is, the press didn’t just pick a random person out of Amanda’s past when she claimed to be engaged. Bynes told In Touch magazine that she was planning to marry a man named Caleb, who is a 19-year-old bait shop employee from Costa Mesa, California. Needless to say, that narrowed things down pretty well, so it wasn’t hard to figure out that Bynes was referring to Pusey, with whom she attended rehab last year. Bynes has not offered any details on whom she believes she was engaged to. 45 Seriously OMG WTF Amanda Bynes Photos 1. Amanda Bynes is Dope Amanda Bynes thinks she is dope. The actress has posted this photo to Twitter.
Years after stealing Brandi Glanville ‘s husband, LeAnn Rimes continues to make tabloid headlines for her relationship with Eddie Cibrian. The ever-reliable Star magazine reports that LeAnn is completely broke these days and she’s been all but abandoned by Eddie. The report, and its “anonymous sources” claim Eddie’s acting career has dried up and he hasn’t made any money in years, so he’s been burning through Leann’s savings. Of course, LeAnn’s career isn’t exactly on fire these days and she’s allegedly worried that Eddie will leave her “if she can’t keep brining in so much money.” As a result, the singer is “exhausting every possibility she has to make a buck.” LeAnn fired back on Twitter, stating that she’s “flattered” that her face sells so many magazines and pointing out that this story conflicts slightly with the tabloid’s earlier claim that she’s worth about $50 million. As usual, the truth is probably somewhere in between, but the truth doesn’t sell magazines! Meanwhile, LeAnn keeps playing into the tabloids’ games by publicly responding. Someone needs to teach her that if you keep feeding the trolls, they’ll always follow you home.

No one could be more upset with Jenelle Evans than Jenelle Evans herself, according to her lawyer, Dustin Sullivan, who spoke to E! News Wednesday. Evans is still in custody pending a $10,000 bond for heroin possession and another $10,000 for assault, but Sullivan is trying to get her out today. Jenelle Evans was arrested at her home in Brunswick, N.C., yesterday, after police were dispatched to investigate a reported domestic dispute there. Officials discovered 12 bindles of heroin, other illegal substances and drug paraphernalia in the Teen Mom 2 star’s possession, and she was jailed. She was also charged with multiple counts of assault on her and was served with a warrant for failure to pay child support for her 3-year-old son Jace. Jenelle reportedly claims Courtland set her up . In any case, he was also arrested for assault and for possession of heroin with the intent to distribute. Rogers’ bond on the possession count was $20,000, Sullivan said. The full details of what went on yesterday are unclear, but it’s hardly a first for the combative pair, and the toll it’s taken on her was evident today. Evans, her attorney says, was “very upset. She was crying in court.” “This just happened,” he added. “She was in bad shape.” The oft-in-trouble 21-year-old is back on Twitter, at least – and you might think based on some of her comments that she’s actually doing pretty well. She wrote to a fan: “@LindsayNYC I’m doing great. Eating healthy. My weight is back to normal. I take Multivitamins daily and melatonin at night and I’m SOBER.” Raise your hand if you believe that …

Critics have mixed feelings about Hanks’ first directing effort in 15 years. By Eric Ditzian Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks in ‘Larry Crowne’ Photo: Universal Pictures Perhaps only the boom-boom-pow theatrics of “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” which will be making most of the noise (and the box-office bucks) at the multiplex this weekend, could overshadow a new offering from Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. Or possibly the mixed reviews for their comedy, “Larry Crowne,” are helping create a lower profile for the heavily marketed film. Hanks has taken on directing duties for only the second time in his career (his debut was the 1996 nostalgia trip “That Thing You Do!”) and recruited Roberts to join in the action. But the results have been met with outright disdain in some corners, with critics scoffing at a lack of laughs and a bland story line. Yet where others see a milquetoast comedy, many reviewers see a skilled director delivering a warm-hearted summer diversion. Read on for those “Larry Crowne” critiques and more. The Story “In ‘Larry Crowne,’ Hanks plays a nice guy who gets fired from his retail job because he lacks the education to qualify him for a management position. This happens despite his countless awards for Employee of the Month. Larry cashes in his possessions, trades his car for a scooter and decides to enroll in a local community college. As his economics teacher, he draws Dr. Matsutani (George Takei), the only character in the film interesting enough to have a movie made about him. As his public speaking teacher, he gets Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts), a character who seems to have drifted over from the auditions for ‘Bad Teacher.’ … I watched the movie with all the pleasure I bring to watching bread rise. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy watching bread rise, but it lacks a certain degree of interest. You look forward to it being finished.” — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times The Performances “The real reason to watch this modestly charming, featherweight bauble is the chemistry between Hanks and Roberts, beloved superstars who make a beautiful pair. ‘Larry Crowne’ is only their second movie together (after ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’), but Hanks’ noble everyman is an inspired match for Roberts, who plays her character’s bitter disappointment with a believable acidity.” — Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald The Direction ” ‘Larry Crowne’ marks Tom Hanks’ first work as a director since his delightful ‘That Thing You Do!’ 15 years ago. And now, as then, the star demonstrates a generous instinct for calm, steady pacing and cleanly framed scenes that acknowledge every character’s place in the whole, whether in the classroom, on the streets, or in the working world: When, for example, Larry draws on his Navy skills to take a job as a short-order cook, Hanks the director observes the work of every diner employee with genuine interest. … It’s easy enough to accept the romantic-comedy luck of the two finding each another. It’s much tougher, and ultimately useless, to buy everything else about this fairy tale of self-reinvention in a stalled economy.” — Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly The Laughs “The script by Mr. Hanks and Nia Vardalos (‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’) is one of those wonders of the cinema: You wonder who thought any of this was funny. The fractious scenes between Mercedes and her stay-at-home husband (Bryan Cranston) are painful, although they do give Larry the opportunity to provide a romantic palliative. Larry’s adoption by a group of younger students — all of whom ride eco-friendly motor scooters — is cloyingly, comically clueless.” — John Anderson, The Wall Street Journal The Final Word “I don’t know how ‘Larry Crowne’ is going to do this summer, but I am surprised at the venom some people seem to have mustered towards it. I found it engaging, constantly warm and funny, and very direct in its ambitions. If you want a break from the barrage of spectacle that crams out theater screens every year at this time, ‘Larry Crowne” represents a lovely alternative, and I hope people give it a chance. I’d hate to see Hanks wait another fifteen years to direct again.” — Drew McWeeny, HitFix Check out everything we’ve got on “Larry Crowne.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
Newspaper is questioning numbers cited in actor’s anti-prostitution campaign. By Jocelyn Vena Ashton Kutcher Photo: Joe Corrigan/ Getty Images Ashton Kutcher is engaged in a war of words with New York newspaper The Village Voice. The actor and the paper have been going after each other on Twitter in connection with PSAs that Kutcher and wife Demi Moore , made in order to shed light on underage prostitution. The newspaper questioned statistics that the celebrity uses in his campaign in an article published this week called “Real Men Get Their Facts Straight” (a play on “Real Men Don’t Buy Girls,” the name of Kutcher’s campaign). The actor took to Twitter to respond, making reference to ads that appear in the paper’s classifieds section. “Hey @villagevoice speaking of data, maybe you can help me … How much $ did your ‘escorts’ in your classifieds on backpage make last year? Hey @villagevoice speaking of Data … How many of your girls selling themselves in your classifieds are you doing age verification on?” The article cites Kutcher’s statistic that between 100,000 and 300,000 children are involved with child prostitution, calling it a “statistic [that] was hatched without regard to science. It is a bogeyman.” Kutcher fired back at those claims on his Twitter. “Hey @villagevoice if you want to dispute the online data I’ve collected about the consumption of child porn or the hard facts from [National Center for Missing and Exploited Children] lmk,” he wrote, later adding, “Hey @villagevoice REAL MEN DON’T BUY GIRLS and REAL NEWS PUBLICATIONS DON’T SELL THEM.” Eventually the newspaper responded to Kutcher’s criticism of its analysis, firing back on Twitter. “@aplusk Don’t spout phony statistics which are then used to justify millions in spending for ‘awareness.’ Victims need beds and counseling,” read one tweet that appeared in between a sea of retweets from readers on the paper’s side and reminders to read the article. “Still sort of doubting that @aplusk actually read our story, but don’t make that same mistake!” Whose side are you on? Tell us in the comments!
