Kathy Griffin’s still got it. The proud D-list comedienne famously stripped in Times Square for Anderson Cooper. To boot, last week, she followed that stunt by disrobing in front of David Letterman. The Late Show host appeared mildly flustered but for the most part dead panned it as if it were your average occurrence, even asking if she needed “pliers.” Nice of him to help out, wasn’t it? We highly advocate for her to continue this pattern. Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, you’re all on notice. Kathy Griffin Strips on The Late Show
Russell Brand is entering Justin Timberlake territory at Us Weekly apparently. No matter how little evidence they may have, they’re convinced Russell is a bad dude. Whenever Katy Perry gets around to writing material for her third album, the tabloid erroneously claims, she’s got plenty of dark, painful memories to draw from! The reason for that? Russell is (allegedly) penning a book about her! Despite public denials from a rep, the British comic plans to cover all the nitty-gritty, sometimes ugly details of their failed 14-month marriage … Us claims. “Katy is insulted and feels betrayed that Russell has treated her so poorly,” a pal to the “Firework” singer, 27, tells Us . “She will never forgive him. Ever.” For the record, Katy says no one speaks for her . Although Perry is supposedly “in panic mode” regarding her ex’s memoir plans, she’s back to work on her ongoing concert tour, commercial shoots and more. She’s taking pains to “limiting interactions” with Brand, another source says of Katy. “He’s being so atrocious that she feels like she never knew him.” FYI, he’s really not , as far as we can tell.
The higher-ups at Volkswagen must be big Star Wars fans. For the second straight year, the car maker is using George Lucas’ epic saga as inspiration for a Super Bowl commercial. A year ago, Little Darth Vader was a huge hit. So much so that the company released a teaser for the ad early here in 2012. The sequel, featuring a canine chorus barking a familiar tune, may be even better: The Bark Side – VW Super Bowl Ad Preview Barking along to the ominous “Imperial March” dressed as Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and an Ewok, these mutts will surely get people talking. Or howling, one might say … see what we did right there? The appropriate title for the spot: “The Bark Side.” Amazing.
Ricky Gervais zinged Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber . George Clooney mocked Brad Pitt and joked that Michael Fassbender has a large penis. Michelle Williams made us tear up via a gracious speech that focused on her daughter. But the moment of the night on the 2012 Golden Globe Awards telecast belonged to Seth Rogen, who walked on stage to present an award alongside Kate Beckinsale – considered the Sexiest Woman Alive by some – and told the audience he was trying to conceal a “massive erection.” Watch the quip below, along with Beckinsale’s unplanned reaction: Seth Rogen Massive Erection Joke
Mena Suvari and Simone Sestito are throwing in the towel. An attorney for the actress, 32, filed divorce papers on her behalf on Friday in L.A. County Superior Court. She and Sestito, a concert promoter, have no kids. According to court papers, Suvari cited “irreconcilable differences” and asked that Sestito receive no spousal support. She cited a separation date of 11/1/11. Mena Suvari and Simone Sestito married in June 2010 in Italy, holding a private church in the Vatican City in what the pair called a “romantic” wedding. The couple met at the Toronto Film Festival in 2007 and got engaged in 2008. This will be Suvari’s second divorce; she split from Robert Brinkmann, in 2005. Mena is set to reprise her role in the next American Pie film installment, due out later this year. If you haven’t seen it, here’s the American Reunion trailer . [Photo: WENN.com]
Britney Spears is loving life at home these days. Just days after posting some adorable kid photos on Facebook and Twitter, the singer uploaded a video of her eldest son showcasing his dance skills. Check out six-year-old Sean Preston Federline getting DOWN to the oldie “Shake Your Groove Thing” by Peaches & Herb through a video game … Britney Spears’ Son Dancing It would be cute to see the little fella bust a move no matter how good he was, but the youngster does appear to have some talent, doesn’t he? He’s certainly got the focus. When younger brother Jayden James, 5, got anywhere near Preston’s dance zone, he was promptly chastised. Kids. Keep the video and pics coming, Britney!
All babies are beautiful. All celebrity baby names, however? Let’s just say some are better than others. Below, we rank our favorite weird ones of recent years. NOTE : We are defining weird as in unusual, not in a negative sense. If you don’t know anyone else with said name, it qualifies as unusual, even if you love it. The birth of Beyonce’s baby Blue got us thinking: Where does that little one rank? Without further ado, give it up for the (possibly stoned) parents of … 10. Pilot Inspektor. Overcompensating for your own boring name, Jason Lee? 9. Kal-El. The son of Nic Cage. Yes, Kal dash El. 8. Track and Trig. Todd and Sarah Palin’s daughters, Piper, Willow and Bristol Palin , have downright normal names compared to their brothers. 7. Blue Ivy Carter. This one’s kinda cool, but still out there. 6. Sparrow. We liked this name for Nicole Richie and Joel Madden’s second child more when we thought Sparrow was a girl. He is not a girl. 5. Jermajesty. Jermaine Jackson’s son. Yes, Jer-effing-majesty . MJ is exempt, barely, since Blanket is merely a nickname … for Prince Michael II. 4. Spec and Hud. The latter of John Cougar Mellencamp and Elaine Irwin’s sons may be sponsored by the Dept of Housing and Urban Development. 3. Bronx Mowgli. Borough of New York City + Jungle Book character = perfect baby name … at least if you’re Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz. 2. Suri. The apple of Tom and Katie’s eye. Speaking of … 1. Apple. Gwyneth and Chris take the cake on this one. What’s your favorite weird celebrity baby name?
Robert Kardashian passed away in 2003. So how did the former O.J. Simpson attorney actually come to his daughter’s rescue this week, amidst a growing, tabloid-based scandal? First, a refresher on said scandal: in the latest issue of Star , two of Robert’s former wives came out and claimed he admitted to them that Khloe Kardashian was NOT his spawn . They quoted their late ex as saying he knew all along that Khloe was the product of an affair Kris Jenner carried on, but he loved her anyway. Khloe has since come out and slammed the women , while family sources have written off their claims as ridiculous. Now, TMZ has uncovered a document that might actually prove Khloe truly is Robert’s offspring. When the elder Kardashian was looking to annul his marriage in 1999 to Jan Ashley, he signed a declaration in court that stated the marriage failed because Jan wanted to have his child and wrote: “I decided that since I already had four biological children, I did not wish to have any more.” So there you have it. Is it 100%, definitive proof of fatherhood? No. But it’s mighty close and, come on, there’s plenty to bash about the Kardashians. Why make up such a silly rumor in the first place? [Photo: WENN.com]
People rarely shut up nowadays, but there are some things they just never say. Ever hear anyone claim Breaking Dawn deserves an Academy Award? Or that they’re really missing Rosie O’Donnell these days? Or they wish they could watch more WNBA games on TV? Or set their default font on MS Word to Papyrus? Exactly. To that end, here is a collection of phrases you will often never hear: Sh!t Nobody Says
John Parr, whose “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” became an international rock smash in the 1980s, has reworked its lyrics in honor of Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Seriously. Parr personally recorded “Tim Tebow’s Fire” (below). “I was inspired by Tim Tebow, so I wanted to modify the lyrics … in his honor of the way he lives his life as being a great example,” Parr told FOX31 Denver. Words fail us, but fortunately Parr has us covered. Listen: John Parr – Tim Tebow’s Fire! The great thing about this “St. Elmo’s Fire” cover is that it’s not really a cover. It sounds just like Parr’s title track to the 1985 Demi Moore-Rob Lowe film. In “Tim Tebow’s Fire,” he sings, “I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin’ sky. I’ll be where the eagle’s flyin’ higher and higher. Gonna be your man in motion, all I need’s my Broncos team. Take me where my future’s lyin,’ Tim Tebow’s Fire.” They’re still going to be demolished by New England , but amen.
