Selena Gomez is headed back to the role that made her famous. The Disney Channel has released a statement confirming a Wizards of Waverly Place television movie that will hit the air in early 2013. The adorable girlfriend of Justin Bieber will executive produce the one-hour event, which will take the Russos to Italy to meet their long lost relatives… … only for Selena’s Alex to accidentally conjure up a spell that creates a Good and Bad version of herself. Oops! The Wizards of Waverly Place series finale aired in January of this year and raked in 11.3 million total viewers. Since exiting the series, of course, Gomez has sky-rockets to major fame. She has three Gold certified albums, one double-Platinum single and numerous Gold and Platinum singles.
A news agency in Iran has published a report claiming that white, rural Americans would rather vote for its own head of state, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, than U.S. President Barack Obama. Slight problem: The report was by the Onion. Quoting The Onion, Iranian news agency Fars (more like FARCE, are we right?!) cites a fake poll that says 77 percent would rather have a drink or watch sports with Ahmadinejad. A made-up West Virginia resident is quoted as saying: “I like him better.” The West Virginia resident also believes Iran’s president “takes national defense seriously” and wouldn’t let “gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does.” The Fars news agency, which is affiliated with the powerful Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), does not credit The Onion for the report on the survey. Iran banned alcohol after its revolution in 1979, while homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment or death and the nation’s media and politicians often refer to the U.S. as the “Great Satan.” That and they’ve apparently never seen The Onion. What a terrible place!
Alanis Morissette paid tribute to Billie Joe Armstrong this week.

Watch it now and send your best wishes to Armstrong: Alanis Morissette – “Basket Case”

One minute? ONE MINUTE!?! No one tells Green Day to get off the stage. While performing at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas on Friday night, the band’s frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, flipped out when producers informed him his set would be cut short by approximately 20 minutes. Usher’s set reportedly ran over beforehand, leaving Billie Joe, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt less time to perform. After seeing “1 Minute” flash on the screen in front of him, cueing him to wrap it up, Armstrong lost it in an amazing rant that was nothing short of awesome to watch: Green Day Flips Out at iHeartRadio Festival “You’re gonna give f*%king me one minute?!” he yelled, distraught, after cutting off his last tune. “Let me tell you something. Let me f*%king tell you something! I’ve been around since f*%ing nineteen eighty f*%king eight, and you’re gonna give me one minute?!” “You’ve gotta be f*%ing kidding me! I’m not f*%ing Justin Bieber, you motherf*%ers! This is a f*%king joke. Let me show you what one f*%ing minute f*%ing means.” A guitar was smashed, a middle finger was shown to the powers that be, and the band was gone. Rock n’ roll.

I don’t know who the hell this Sophie Simmons chick is, but she looks kind of like a Kelly Brook knock-off. And not one of those cheap Chinese knock-offs either, a good quality one. Here she is at the new Spiderman premiere showing off some high quality hotness. For a nobody she sure seems to know her way around a see through dress. I’m impressed. Now let’s see what you’ve got in the getting out of an SUV in a tight dress department.
