They are saying that these are pictures of Rihanna smoking a blunt, you know to influence all her 12 year old fans that along with loving the smell of sex and chains and whips excite her….she’s also into getting high…a substance proving by conservative christians in the 50s to make a motherfucker go crazy, murder, and lead into psychosis….a substance that has since been proven to not have any negative side effects…making these pics a no – big deal….not to mention Rhianna is black and from the islands…her NOT smoking a blunt would be far more shocking….and none of that matters, what matters is how lazy she is with her work out routine, get high, lay in sun in Hawaii, do obligues…fucking slacker…but at least she’s in leggings.
TCA events bring news that A&E is developing a prequel series to Alfred Hitchcock ‘s Psycho , to revolve around the early life of one Norman Bates and his beloved mother at the infamous Bates Motel. While intriguing, it prompts more than a few questions… like, who wants to watch teenage Norman devolve into filmdom’s most notorious creep on a weekly basis? What gives writer Anthony Cipriano the authority to explore Hitch’s iconic killer? And, most depressing of all to ponder — do people these days even care about Psycho anymore? Granted, the A&E audience is more sophisticated than your average Jersey Shore -obsessed dilettante, and Hitchcock has plenty of fans, even in the age of reality TV. In fact, the sordid melodramatics we’re used to seeing in mainstream television coupled with the elevated profile of dramas on cable TV might actually prepare audiences for such a series; it can’t be any more twisted than, say, American Horror Story , or as grisly as an episode of CSI . The idea of exploring a fictional character’s story in further detail is always intriguing, and often works in surprisingly great ways; see Wicked , for example, which imagined a tenacious but vulnerable humanity for The Wizard of Oz ‘s Wicked Witch, decades after L. Frank Baum wrote her. But there’s a degree to which, as with remakes and adaptations and sequels, it sometimes seems wise to leave good enough (or great, in Psycho’s case) alone. Psycho revealed just enough of Norman Bates’s demented interior to make that film a classic; do we need to see exactly what Mother did to young Norman to mess him up for life? Maybe we do, or maybe we already saw what comes of taking liberties with Hitchcock’s work, without Hitch: of the 1983 and 1986 Psycho sequels, the subsequent 1990 prequel, the abysmal made-for-TV spin-off, and Gus van Sant’s 1998 shot-for-shot remake, none have been especially good. What could help Cipriani’s Bates Motel to avoid repeating history? Take a gander at the unfortunate 1987 Lori Petty/Bud Cort/Jason Bateman pilot-turned-telefilm, also titled Bates Motel , and muse over the possibilities. • A&E Develops ‘Psycho’ Prequel Series: TCA [ Deadline ] Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

‘I may not have a record out now, but I have been singing for a very long time,’ Del Rey tells critics who argue she hasn’t earned ‘SNL’ slot. By James Montgomery Lana Del Rey Within the span of six months, Lana Del Rey has risen from a much-discussed blog curio to a major-label recording artist with an anticipated disc ( Born to Die, due at the end of the month) waiting in the wings. It’s the kind of leap few have made, one that’s led many to question whether she deserves so much so quickly. This weekend, she’ll perform on “Saturday Night Live,” the kind of gig usually reserved for the biggest of the big — and, yes, those same critics have already expressed their displeasure over that fact. So when Del Rey stopped by the MTV Newsroom earlier this week to discuss her meteoric climb, we asked about the backlash over her “SNL” performance. Not surprisingly, she had plenty to say on the matter. “I definitely think it’s an honor. … I don’t think they’ve ever had anyone [perform] who didn’t even have a record out, so I do appreciate it,” she said. “[But I got it] because I’m a good musician. And I may not have a record out now, but I have been singing for a very long time, and I think that [‘SNL’ creator] Lorne [Michaels] knows that, and everyone over there knows that. It’s not a fluke decision. “It’s not a traditional choice for ‘Saturday Night Live,’ especially because the content of the record is different; it’s not pop,” she continued. “But they’re also having … Bon Iver, so again, not the most traditional choice.” Though she’s aware there will be plenty of folks watching her Saturday, Del Rey remains rather unfazed by the whole thing. In fact, she doesn’t care what her critics have to say, and she’s not interested in debating whether she’s paid her dues. To be honest, she’s just focused on not screwing up royally. “You just think to yourself, ‘Don’t f— up.’ And that’s it. That’s all you ever think with live television. You hope that it goes well, and I’m just going to put my dress on, there’s going to be a spotlight, I got this amazing band I’ve worked with this year, they’ll be there,” she said. “I don’t even know what I’m singing yet. I’m singing ‘Video Games,’ and I don’t know what the second song is. … A lot of it depends on what’s going on with my family and everyone around me. If I have other things to think about, and I’m not in my own way, it doesn’t really matter. Sometimes it seems more important to me than others.” Will you watch Lana Del Rey on “SNL”?

Psychiatrist talks to MTV News after the star left the show on Thursday’s episode to address his lifelong struggle with clinical anxiety. By James Montgomery Vinny and Pauly D on “Jersey Shore” Photo: MTV On Thursday night’s “Jersey Shore,” viewers were given a glimpse inside Vinny Guadagnino’s lifelong (though closely guarded) struggle with clinical anxiety — a battle that finally forced him to leave the show and return home to Staten Island. It was a decidedly somber moment on a show that more often than not focuses solely on good times. But Guadagnino’s condition shouldn’t come as all that much of a shock: according to estimates, 15 to 25 percent of the population suffer from some form of anxiety disorder, and most of the time, those conditions remain undiagnosed. Which is why the “Shore” star going public with his personal struggle is such a big deal. Perhaps by doing so, he will inspire others to do the same. “I was really struck by the honesty and the candor. I didn’t expect that to be on national television,” Dr. Sue Varma, a Manhattan psychiatrist and faculty member at NYU’s Langone Medical Center, told MTV News. “As private as it is, if you’re a public figure like he is, and you’re dealing with an issue, you can bring awareness to it. It will help other people suffering from [an anxiety disorder] to come out without fear of being ostracized. It will get people talking and get people help.” Varma said that many of the conditions Guadagnino discussed on the episode are all fairly common to those suffering from an anxiety disorder. And those conditions were only exacerbated by his hard-charging Seaside Heights surroundings. “You hear Vinny talking about not having his family around, not having a regular sleep schedule, going out a lot, drinking … routine is really big, sleep is huge. For every psychiatric disorder, sleep is a symptom, either sleeping too little or sleeping too much,” she said. “Often you’ll hear somebody say they’re having ruminating thoughts, they’re obsessing, they’re thinking about the same things over and over again, and often that keeps them from falling asleep. “People who are anxious tend to stay in their head, because it helps them avoid their emotions. As long as they’re thinking, they feel they’re doing something to prevent something bad from happening. And that disconnects them from their surroundings,” she continued. “And a lot of people who have anxiety also have depression, and depression brings about changes in appetite, loss of concentration, memory problems and, in severe cases, even suicide. You become isolated … you lose your sense of pleasure in life. And anxiety, when it’s untreated, when somebody feels it’s out of control, that can bring on depression.” And the fact that Guadagnino managed to keep his anxiety a secret for so long doesn’t surprise Varma one bit; after all, millions suffer from similar disorders, and more often than not, their friends and family aren’t even aware of it. Or, if they are, they’re not sure how they can help. “All psychiatric conditions are medical conditions, so in the way people have diabetes or high blood pressure, that needs to be taken seriously, they have real biological circumstances, so does anxiety or depression,” she continued. “It’s a medical disorder, and people really think it’s a mood, a phase that you’re in, a funk that you’re in, and you can just snap out of it. You can’t. Anxiety disorders are really an umbrella, and there’s seven or eight major categories that fall under that. People who have it are integrated amongst us … there are plenty of people that you’re working with that you don’t realize have it, because they seem so functional. And having seen previous episodes, I wouldn’t have realized [Guadagnino had a disorder] until he came forward.” Varma added that there are a variety of treatments available to those battling anxiety disorders — everything from psychotherapy to medications like Zoloft or Prozac — but the key is getting those with conditions to admit they need help. That’s always been the biggest battle, though now that Guadagnino has gone public, perhaps those like him will follow suit. “It’s really important to let people know that there’s no stigma in this,” Varma said. “There are millions of people suffering from this, and it’s treatable.” For continuing “Jersey Shore” coverage, be sure to check in with MTV’s Remote Control blog.

We all aware that Casey Anthony is a “party girl” but new evidence is showing that she got pregnant while drunk and passed out: Casey Anthony told a psychiatrist that she didn’t know who her daughter Caylee’s father was because she became pregnant after passing out at a party when she was 18, according to newly released depositions. Anthony was acquitted last July of killing 2-year-old Caylee, who went missing in the summer of 2008 but her disappearance was not reported to authorities until a month later. The little girl’s remains were eventually found in the woods near the home Anthony shared with her parents. Reading from his notes on a November 2010 interview with Anthony, psychiatrist Jeff Danzinger said, “Two beers, possibly given another drug. Woke up passed out…Don’t remember anything at a party, age 18. This is how she said she got pregnant.” Danzinger, who interviewed Anthony five times over two years but did not testify at her trial, also reported that Anthony showed no evidence of mental illness and had normal results on a psychological test – a fact he found surprising. “You would expect that would provoke some measure of distress, whether someone genuinely did it, whether someone was falsely accused,” Danziger said. “If my child was missing and I was in jail being accused of it, I probably wouldn’t eat and wouldn’t be cheerful and wouldn’t be able to read.” Anthony also reportedly told Danzinger that her father had molested her when she was young – a claim defense attorneys raised at trial – and that he had found Caylee’s drowned body in the family’s swimming pool, helped dispose of it and then covered it up. During the trial, George Anthony denied playing any role in Caylee’s disappearance or death. SMH. No words for this trifling heffa. None at all. R.I.P. Caylee Source More On Bossip!

If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that you can lead teenagers to a big red sign that reads “DON’T GO IN THE WOODS,” but you can’t make them not go in the woods anyway. Actor Vincent D’Onofrio nods to this and other slasher clichés in Don’t Go in the Woods , his feature directing debut — that is, when he’s not nodding to clichés native to the musical and the old “star is born” storyline. All that nodding gives a new definition to the term “genre-friendly,” and if a film could get by on its cheap and cheerful vibe alone, this one certainly would. Unfortunately, outside of the proxy satisfaction it will give those who are dying to see the grim reaper let loose on the set of a very special episode of Glee , the pleasures of Don’t Go in the Woods can’t quite compensate for its straggly bits. Casting five unknown musicians to play the band at the center of the film was logical enough: Slasher actors are not known for their Juilliard pedigrees, so prioritizing their musical skill makes sense. The story has the band decamping into the woods to try and write that elusive hit record without the usual distractions (D’Onofrio’s pointed removal of one of them, the cell phone, seems to channel the modern horror director’s frustration with those little plot spoilers). And the songs they do come up with are tuneful in a strangled yet twinkly, Fleet Foxes kind of way. Musician and director Sam Bisbee (who took home a 2010 Oscar for The New Tenant , a short film he worked on with D’Onofrio) wrote all of the music, and the boys’ performances are high points, in part because if they’re singing it means no one on-screen is attempting to act. Well, no one but the psychotically focused group leader Nick (Matt Sbeglia). Nick has disproportionately big blue eyes and a hipster cloche of dark hair, and during his numbers he usually strays from the campfire to emote in private. Nick rides the rest of the guys — played by Casey Smith, Soomin Lee, Nick Thorpe and Jorgen Jorgensen — like they’re pack mules, and at least one reason why they might put up with it emerges. Their camping spot is the same one Nick used to visit with a now-deceased brother (actually, it was shot on D’Onofrio’s Woodstock, N.Y., property), though presumably the forest’s resident Sledgehammer Guy was not a problem back in those less gruesome times. Did I mention Sledgehammer Guy? Oh, he’s around. He just makes noises that everyone shrugs off for a while, but when the band’s groupie crew shows up to join the party (and make Nick popping mad, naturally), Sledgehammer Guy gets cracking. The kill sequences are quick and not very scary — more like pulling weeds than serial murder — and though some of the ladies get to warble out a few evocatively shot bars before they’re beaned to death, most of the jam sessions are directed like stand-alone videos. A story about the clash of creative and destructive drives set in the wilderness and starring a bunch of scruffy but ambitious kids has big themes and genre toys to play with. Though obviously aware of the potential and prepared to really go for it, D’Onofrio came up with something that feels unfinished — an interesting harmony that needs a better bridge.

Joran van der Sloot pleaded guilty Wednesday morning to the murder of Stephany Flores, a Peruvian woman he had met at a casino in Lima in 2010. Perhaps not coincidentally, the murder took place exactly five years to the day after the disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba. Joran van der Sloot remains the main suspect in that case. He was apparently in fairly good spirits after formally confessing to the killing today: Joran van der Sloot Laughs After Confession In court in Peru, he said he is “truly sorry” for the killing of Flores. He said that from the first moment, he ” wanted to confess sincerely ” to the killing. His lawyer stated that van der Sloot killed Flores as a result of “extreme psychological trauma” he suffered from the fallout over the Holloway case. Van der Sloot faces a possible 30 years in prison in the killing, though the guilty plea was aimed at winning a lighter sentence than that maximum. The defense had claimed the killing was manslaughter, as it was not premeditated. That crime carries a minimum sentence of just five years. In a confession, he had said he killed her in a fit of rage after she discovered on his laptop that he’d been linked to the Holloway disappearance. Prosecutors claimed, however, that he plotted to kill and rob Flores after learning she had won a lot of money at the casino where they met.
I find it dull that Mischa Barton is alive….I’m not a psychopath or even a sociopath who wishes death on people for the sake of wishing death on people….even though I think most people are idiots…I prefer to just laugh at them cuz they are entertaining…..I don’t even have dead hookers in my basement….and everyone knows hookers aren’t real people….so when I say Mischa Barton is better off dead…I mean it in a good way…See she’s all tormented and shit….looks like shit and shit….is boring as shit and shit….has addictions and issues that lead to her unshowered, sloppy and probably stinky twat. I had a death watch going on the site and now it’s on hiatus…cuz she’s cleaned up a bit…but I know there needs to be a celebrity death in 2012, we’re a few days in and I want some morbid scandals with these idiots….and here are some bikini top pictures….dull…but still a bikini……I should be on the beach getting pics of hot pussy in a bikini…instead of posting these useless idiots…but I can’t help myself…it’s a horrible habbit.
