Place that talk about Star Wars: Episode VII on hold for a moment. Let’s not look ahead to 2015 just yet. Instead, let’s take a couple minutes to look way back… 36 years back, in fact, as never-before-seen footage from the original Star Wars has hit the Web. Lucasfilm book division author and editor J.W. Rinzler has unveiled outtakes from the iconic film, as he stumbled upon a Star Wars blooper reel while compiling archive footage from a making-of production. Check it out now, as all your favorites – from Han to Luke to Leia to Chewbacca – are featured below. (NOTE: It’s not your computer. The opening few scenes lack sound.) Star Wars Blooper Reel
This is why we love Kanye West: raw, brutal honesty. We also love him because he rants about racism and fashion and the drug of Yeezus… but back to that honesty thing. Asked during an interview on Power 106 yesterday if he and Kim Kardashian will televise their wedding, the rapper freely admitted: sure, maybe. If the price is right! Kanye West and Kim Kardashian: We’re All About Money! “What’s official for everybody in this room and everybody on this globe right now is them bills,” Kanye said like only he can. “Me and Kim are in the exploitation business. We get paid to exploit ourselves.” Thank you, ‘Ye! Could you ever imagine Kim being so straightforward? West went on to explain that he’s protective of daughter’s North West’s privacy. But he’ll also give her to chance to choose for herself someday just how much she wants to be in the spotlight. “I’m [going to] give my daughter the opportunity to choose when she wants to be exploited,” he said. “That’s the reason we didn’t take any money for any baby pictures.” Kanye also compared himself to Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson during the long chat and decreed that he’s a “Christian revolutionary visionary products person,” while saying there may be “fighter jets” at his wedding. As for his proposal to Kardashian ? “I wanted to marry that girl from the first time I saw her, and I just had to wait through a bunch of relationships to finally get my chance,” he said, adding that he thought popping the question at AT&T Park in San Francisco “would be dope.” And it definitely was, we must admit. Have you seen the official Kim Kardashian engagement video ? West also said the ring he handed over to Kim was barely four hours old at the time of the proposal and that he was “nervous” to get down on one knee. But he’s also thrilled with how it all went down. “I gotta apologize to the race of males for turning it up so much,” he said of setting the proposal bar so high for boyfriends going forward. Again, this is why we love Kanye West.
Earlier this month, Camille Grammar was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and immediately underwent a radical hysterectomy. According to this Bravo star, however, things actually got worse from there: Camille alleges that boyfriend Dimitri Charalambopoulos struck her in the face in a Houston hotel room, just four days after this procedure. Radar Online sources say Camille will be filing a police report against her now-ex-boyfriend in response. “Things between them had been bad for awhile,” an insider says of Charalambopoulos and Grammer, who start dating in 2011. She reportedly ended their relationship over Dimitri’s “antics,” a clearly understandable move if this claim is accurate. Camille herself hinted at major trouble yesterday in a series of Tweets. “Info will come out today that is jaw dropping. And women can’t be silenced after being physically abused!” she wrote, adding: “Getting my strength back now that I am at home and wasn’t able to deal with talking about it after my cancer surgery or what had happen.” Grammar later told a follower that she “was in fear for [her] life” during the incident and that she has been working with lawyer and the police over the past few days. “This man should be behind bars,” she wrote of Charalambopoulos, who has not yet commented on his ex-girlfriend’s allegations.
The shocking revelations just keep coming from Tori Spelling, who has now confirmed the existence of a sex tape in her memoir, Spelling It Like It Is. Spelling and husband Dean McDermott – who she says can’t get a vasectomy because they’re too broke – made a sex tape on Valentine’s Day 2009. “Dean and I had a romantic Valentine’s night,” she writes. That’s when Dean said, matter-of-factly, “‘We should tape ourselves having sex.’ He had a little portable tripod, and he set up his video camera on it.” “Afterward, I checked my angles and they were good so I allowed him to keep it. He uploaded it to our computer at home … without password protection.” Dun-dun-DUNNNNNNN . And there it stayed, undisturbed for two years, before one of McDermott’s “so-called friends got his dirty paws on it,” Tori writes , sort of not convincingly. The dude later bragged that he “found the tape Dean’s computer, copied it, and was attempting to sell it to entertainment shows or anyone who would pay.” Tori, who also made headlines by calling Katie Holmes plastic , explains, “I was horrified … we never heard from him again, and the incident went away,” she writes. Anyone buying it? Pretty convenient, you have to say, that Spelling claims the incident “went away.” Was it just a figment of her imagination she concocted for book sales? If so, well played. But pretty shameless. Maybe there is a tape, and maybe there isn’t, but hey, you tell us, THGers: Would you watch a Tori Spelling sex tape? Yes. I’ve always had a thing for Donna Martin! Maybe. Depends on camera angles. No. Gross. View Poll »
Nobody tried to help the kid. Sad. Teenagers Punch Boy In The Face While Bus Driver Does Nothing Maybe the bus driver wasn’t trying to get hurt…..it’s not like he’s getting rich off driving buses. According to The NY Daily News Three Pennsylvania teenagers could face charges after cops caught wind of a video posted to Facebook showing a 17-year-old boy getting punched in the face during a bus ride home from school, authorities said. The bus driver, who never stopped after the attack or reported the incident to school officials, could also be charged, police said. The victim, Dylan Fonner, was sitting with a friend on the bus as three 16-year-olds, two boys and one girl — the only other passengers — started to tease the pair after they left the Delaware County Alternative High School on Oct. 9, WPIV-TV reported. One of the teens began recording the bullying with a cellphone before another student suddenly walked into the frame and punched Fonner in the face. The footage shows blood pouring from a wound on Fonner’s lip before the teen stood up from his seat and asked the driver to stop — but the driver refused. His mother, Jackee Fonner, said she learned about the attack after the shocking clip was posted to the social media site. “When I saw the video, I was upset and furious at the same time,” the fuming mother told NBC 10 News. The mother said that she and the parents of her son’s friend — who was also allegedly attacked during the spat — are demanding criminal charges against the teens involved and the 34-year-old driver. “I’m in complete shock,” Jackee Fonner said. “I mean, a grown adult! He was the only adult in the situation and he didn’t even pull over!” She said her son, who was treated at a local hospital for a busted lip and chipped teeth from the punch, has not been in school since the attack. Chester City Police Commissioner Joseph Bail Jr. told WPIV-TV that the driver should have reported the attack — but cops didn’t learn about the punch until they were alerted to the online video. “I have a problem with a grown adult not reporting it,” Bail said. “He has a responsibility to inform his supervisors and the police of a criminal act.” The executive director of the school — which teaches students with behavioral issues — would not comment any further when the news station questioned them about the incident. Police said charges could be filed as soon as Tuesday. Charge them all. If the bus driver was too scared to get involved, he should have at least reported it. WPV Continue reading →
Another day, another instance of Kanye West exploding at a member of the paparazzi. But we can’t say we blame the rapper this time around. In footage posted by TMZ, we see a “reporter” approach Kanye on the rapper’s driveway at 4 a.m. today, asking him about his Twitter rant against Jimmy Kimmel (below). Kanye West Goes OFF on Paparazzo How’s it going , the supposed journalist asks, only for West to come back with a logical reply: “You out in front of my house at 4 a.m. asking ‘How’s it going?'” “It’s 4 a.m.! How do you think it’s going?!?” When the paparazzo refused to shut up, West lunged at him, but the rapper’s latest blow-up did not turn violent. Instead, Kanye simply referred to him angrily as a “blood-sucking mosquito” and asked why he can’t find a more respectful profession. It also looks like Kim Kardashian was present during the incident, with reports indicating that the couple was leaving for a flight to Paris. Kanye, of course, is being sued for another paparazzi confrontation from earlier this summer, but has gone on record and said he responded in self-defense . TMZ first posted the above video from X17 Online.
Enjoy her while you can, concert attendees. You won’t be seeing Selena Gomez on stage again any time in the near future. During a press conference for The Getaway on August 21, Gomez told reporters that “this is my last record for a while. I’m going to tour it and then I’m going to just kind of get into acting for a really long period of time, hopefully.” With a laugh, though, the 21-year old added: “I’m a woman so I change my mind all the time.” Still, it’s clear the toll touring takes on Selena. And she did take off as a celebrity via acting, starring in Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place from 2007 to 2012 before hitting the big screen in Ramona and Beezus ; Monte Carlo ; and Spring Breakers . Gomez kicked off her latest tour in Vancouver last week and much was made over her sexy outfits . We understand if the young star wants to focus on acting, but let’s hope this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Selena Gomez Twerking . The girl can shake it!
Just call them T. Lo.

You have that one favorite song. It was your favorite song to dance to. Los Angeles, this is my hairbrush song.” Watch the famous pair launch into a duet of “Jenny from the Block.” Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez – “Jenny from the Block” At another Los Angeles show, Swift sang “Brave” with Sara Bareilles .
Did you hear the one about the man who got a fork stuck in his penis ? Oh… you did? Okay. What about the guy who was arrested this month in China’s Guangdong Province for convincing a woman that his penis could rid her vagina of the evil spirits that were preventing her from seducing her boss? According to The Global Times, Huang Jianjun (a self-proclaimed “Ghostbuster”) charged a patient over $3,000 to have intercourse with him because he said his unit could catch the spirits that were haunting her private area. The unnamed victim reportedly met Jiajun at a hotel room… stripped naked for him in order to be inspected… and called the police soon afterward to have him arrested. Jiajun actually admitted to the incident, but told authorities he could not achieve an erection – and fully bust her ghost, if you know what we mean! – due to his Diabetes. He is now awaiting trial. The woman, meanwhile, is hopefully not seeking a second opinion.
