Big Bird Goes To the Big House

Civil disobedience. HIV. Smoking. Poor diet. Incarceration. What do those things have in common?  Sesame Street .  The latest special episode set on everyone’s favorite street, Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration,  will focus on children who have parents who are in prison . Since an estimated 1 in 28 children have a parent in the pokey, the topic is timely. Sesame Street – Little Children, Big Challenges “What’s ‘carcerated’,” Zoe asks. “And why was your dad in it?”    The latest  Sesame Street special episode features a muppet named Alex and is intended to help children who find themselves in situations where a parent is in prison navigate that life. If  Evil Elmo  is Elmo’s dad, then Elmo should totally watch this. With new characters, musical numbers, special storybooks, and even its own app,  Incarceration  hopes to help ease the fears and frustrations real children feel when a parent is behind bars. Having tackled such topics as divorce and deployment, both of which mark changes to the family unit,  Incarceration  is an extension of what  Sesame Street has already done. As an online-only kit, Incarceration  clips won’t air during normal programming, and Alex won’t become a regular on  Sesame Street . But since Oscar’s been in the can for 44 years now, Alex joining the show could totally work.  The Jim Henson-created series, which has been on the air since 1969, has rarely shied away from controversy. Its audience was and has always been children and its purpose to talk to children about big issues in ways they can understand. So what do you think of Sesame Street’s latest special, Hollywood Gossips?   Great idea! Way to go, Sesame Street! Totally terrible. What is this world coming to? View Poll »

James Gandolfini Dies of Heart Attack; The Sopranos Star Was 51

James Gandolfini died earlier today in Italy, according to reports. The Sopranos star is believed to have suffered a heart attack, and was just 51 years old. Deadline was the first source to report Gandolfini’s death . He was in Italy to attend the 59th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily, and was scheduled to appear in an event this weekend with director Gabriele Muccino. “Everyone is in tears,” a N.Y. Daily News source said. Gandolfini has appeared in many successful TV shows and films, but he truly became a Hollywood star when he was cast as Tony Soprano in 1999. He won three Emmy awards for The Sopranos . The press-shy star got his start as a character actr, became famous relatively late in his career, and stayed largely out of the limelight once The Sopranos ended. The burly Westwood, N.J. native is survived by his wife, former model Deborah Lin, who gave birth to a baby girl last October. The pair wed in 2008. Gandolfini, who spent part of his early career supporting himself as a bartender and nightclub manager, also has a son with his ex-wife, Marcy Wudarski. R.I.P.

Do You Agree? Miley “Twerk That” Cyrus Talks Split From Liam Hemsworth, Says Alcohol Is “Way More Dangerous” Than Some Good Sticky Icky

We’re on Miley’s side with this one. Miley Says Drugs Are Better Than Alcohol Miley “Twerk Nation” Cyrus is on the money. We can smoke til we’re in the sky with the stars, but if we drink Jack Daniels back to back…. R.I.P. According to US Magazine Miley Cyrus is living the high life — maybe in more ways than one. In a candid new interview with Rolling Stone for the magazine’s July 4 issue, the 20-year-old “We Can’t Stop” singer hints that all the talk about her stoner reputation could be more than just talk. “You can’t ask someone that and expect them to say yes,” she tells the mag, laughing, when the interviewer asks flat-out if she’s a stoner. “I did a song with Snoop Dogg called ‘Ashtrays and Heartbreaks,’ so people can put it together for themselves.” Cyrus famously denied smoking that sticky icky after she was videotaped using a bong in late 2010; she claimed at the time that it was salvia, a legal hallucinogen. However, she later joked that she smoked “way too much f****** drugs” when her friends gave her a Bob Marley cake for her 19th birthday. “I think alcohol is way more dangerous than some sticky icky — people can be mad at me for saying that, but I don’t care,” she tells Rolling Stone. “I’ve seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I’ve never seen that happen with weed.” As long as it isn’t illegal, there are far more dangerous things,” she adds. “And it’s legal in the state of California. So I’m happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be.” Cyrus, it seems, would be who she wants to be regardless. She makes no apologies for what she wears, how she acts, or what she believes — nor does she think she should. “I’m too honest. But this is who I am,” she tells the mag. “I can’t sing ‘We Can’t Stop’ and then be some shy, closed-off person. The reason I never really loved acting was because you can’t be yourself. I don’t want to be an actor — I want to be an artist.” To that end, the former Hannah Montana star has given herself and her music an edgy new makeover. “People thought I was gonna be this dumb white girl that was, like twerking around and had no real thoughts,” she says. “Since I was 13, I put my work before everything else in my life. Now that I’m 20, I’m putting my life and my career at the same level of importance.” That life includes an on-again, off-again engagement to Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth. Asked about the current status of their relationship, Cyrus says simply, “I wear a ring every single day. I don’t talk about my personal life, so that’s enough of an answer.” OMG. We figured it out. Maybe the reason Miley twerks like she has a bad muscle spasm is because she’s high off those animal cookies. We understand Miley, but in your case we’d prefer you drink, pass out, and be physically incapable of twerking.

For The Ladies: Joe ‘The Fine Azz Werewolf From True Blood’ Manganiello Flexes His Shredded Abs For Men’s Health Magazine

For the ladies… True Blood’s hunky werewolf, Joe Manganiello , covers the July/August issue of Men’s Health, available for download, June 17th. Manganiello opens up about his real-life superhero moment, getting that famous werewolf body and how losing everything made his success even better. Highlights from the interview via Men’s Health : On his career rock bottom : “About 6 months after the shoot ended {for Spiderman}, I got thrown out of my apartment for not paying rent,” he says. “Lost my car. Lost all my clothes. Furniture. The sheriff gave me 5 minutes to collect my things in a duffle bag and leave the apartment.” On why he won’t be like his Hollywood heroes: “My heroes back in drama school were the hard-drinking guys—both actors and rock stars,” Manganiello says. “But that’s not who I was meant to be. I wasn’t meant to get away with stuff. It was the universe’s way of telling me, ‘You’re not allowed to do this half-a$$ed.’ ” On his real-life superhero moment: “A friend of mine and I were moving a refrigerator, and it fell down the stairs. I caught it—in the air—and put it down.” On where he spent his True Blood earnings: “All the money I was paid as a guest star that year—which was not a lot, after I’d paid out my expenses—I spent on training,” he says. “I netted zero. I lived off my savings, hoping my car didn’t break down. I just put everything into seeing what I could actually do. I think that was the shift.” On what he thinks the physique of an alpha dog should look like: “I’m playing a werewolf,” he says. “I want to look sinewy. I want to look like an animal when the shirt comes off, but I want it to be a bit misleading when I have the shirt on.” On training to be True Blood’s Alcide Herveaux: “It was very fast-paced, no rest between sets, getting the heart rate up,” he says, as opposed to what he’d been doing before: “Lift heavy, hang out, get back under it.” By the time the shirt came off, he was down to 220. Although he didn’t test his body fat before or after, he figures he lost more than 20 pounds of fat while gaining a few pounds of muscle. On how diet contributes to his training: “I don’t think I’ve ever counted calories in my life,” he says as he digs into the steak. “I have no idea. I eat to build. If it doesn’t build something, it’s superfluous.” We’re happy to see Joe striving after such struggle! Check out more hot shots of him below: Photo Credit: Emily Shur Continue reading

Teen Mom Farrah’s Nipple in a Bikini at a Vegas Pool Party of the Day

I get hate mail about posting and promoting Farrah Abraham all the time. In my defence, I didn’t know who she was when I got the amazing SQUIRTING SEX TAPE EXCLUSIVE …but I thought she had a tight, fit body, despite her shitty tits and horse face, and I though she put in good effort. Even when in Florida at Exxxotica after witnessing her cunt behavior to her fans, I appreciated what she was doing…. You see, I don’t love her, i just love what she represents…. A girl hungry for fame, only known from getting knocked up at 16, who acts like a spoiled brat, and clearly a horrible mother, who turned to porn to next level her career. That to me is amazing, it’s good morally sound approach, that I hope inspires more girls, because the more girls I get to see fuck, the happier I am… Now I’m not too excited about her shitty implant nipple she has not control over slip at a Vegas Pool Party, but I am sure she is, this is a huge thing for an idiot girl, hosting a Vegas party like a low level star…it’s all these whores really care about… I predict more porn from her, and I’m totally down with watching it….because despite what the haters say

Amy Adams Let’s Them Hang

I don’t usually do many posts on Amy Adams , mostly because I think she’s kind of boring and I’m always mixing her up with the redhead from The Office . But obviously I had her way wrong, because these pictures of Amy sightseeing in Italy are anything but boring. Maybe she’s just getting into the European way of life, but I hope Amy brings this bra-less act back home with her. I might have to start following her career more closely just in case. And remembering her name. Photos: WENN.com

Joanna Krupa Hot Bikini Bachelorette Party of the Day

Trash can Joanna Krupa, who does have a hot body, despite her overall irrelevance in society, is celebrating her staged wedding, because she’s become a very very low grade version of a Kardashian, a fate worse than death, and these are some pics of her staged bachelorette party, because her life is designed for reality TV lonely white trash get absorbed in, because their lives suck worse than KRUPAs. What we can learn from Krupa, is that if you are hot, get fake tits, to start your career out as a model with fake tits, for low level companies and magazines…because a decade after you’ve failed at it and have no where left to go, you may have one producer or agent willing to get you on a Dancing With the Stars show that needs pussy to keep husbands from letting their wives watch the shit, and that, can lead to gold digging your way onto another show, which is way better than just having sex with anyone you come across with money, because this way you can pretend you’re a huge TV Star. The whole thing is uninteresting, almost idiotic that it happens, but I’ll stare at her 40 year old ass still trying in a bikini, because she’s not fat. I’m that easy….and I guess so is this hooker.

Congratulations: Serena Williams Defeats Maria Sharapova To Win 2013 French Open And 16th Grand Slam!

Who gon’ stop her huh? Serena Williams Defeats Maria Sharapova To Win 2013 French Open And Grand Slam Via HuffingtonPost Serena Williams won her 16th Grand Slam title and her first French Open championship since 2002 when she beat familiar foil Maria Sharapova 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday. The victory completed the No. 1-ranked Williams’ rebound from a shocking loss to 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano in the first round at Roland Garros a year ago. Since that defeat she’s 74-3, including titles at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the London Olympics and the season-ending WTA Championships. Williams whacked 10 aces, including three in the final game, to extend her career-best winning streak to 31 matches. She improved to 14-2 against Sharapova, with victories in their past 13 meetings and four of the wins this year. At 31, Williams became the oldest woman to win a major title since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1990 at age 33. Her 11-year gap between Roland Garros titles is the longest for any woman. Wonder if she did the Crip Walk in the locker room? Image via Aaron Gilbert
