Stephenie Meyer Invites ‘Twilight’ Fan Sites To Personal ‘Eclipse’ Junket

Posted on May 17, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Author hopes the new setup will bring more in-depth questions than mainstream press. By Kara Warner Stephenie Meyer Photo: ABC/ Oprah.com “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer announced a rather surprising publicity move Monday (May 17): She will be hosting her own press junket to promote the upcoming release of “Eclipse.” According to the letter she posted on her website , Meyer explained that she wants to offer her fans something different for this movie release, so she is inviting four lucky “Twilight” fan sites to her own “mini-junket” on Friday, June 18, the week before the film’s L.A. premiere. “For Twilight, I did the normal press junket, for New Moon I got to go on Oprah,” she wrote. “Both of these were fun, exciting experiences. However, they both had the same drawback — the interviews were designed for a very broad audience, and because of that, most of the questions were about things you guys have known the answers to for years.” Meyer said she wants her junket to instead focus on in-depth, specific questions from the readers about the “Eclipse” movie, as well as her “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner” novella, out June 5. The lucky U.S. fan sites picked by Meyer at random out of a hat (of which the author posted photos on her site) are: Twilight Series Theories , Twilight Source , Twifans and Letters to Twilight . The websites may send one representative plus one guest. Meyer said she drew four replacement sites to be put on a waiting list, should one of the four selected be unable to attend. “We’ll have lunch, hang out, and hopefully have a fantastic time,” Meyer promised. “I hope you all can make it! -Steph” What do you think about Stephenie’s new approach to “Eclipse” promotion?

Tiger and Elin Woods: Not on Speaking Terms

Posted on May 17, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Tiger Woods and wife Elin are no longer speaking to each other, according to new reports that cite no named sources, but are probably believable anyway. Both have hired divorce lawyers and things have gotten so bad that the couple uses intermediaries to communicate, a source close to both of them claims. She’s fighting for the kids in private, but tries to keep their children protected from their deteriorating marriage. Thus, Tiger and Elin refrain from arguing. They also refrain from speaking to one another, period. “Elin has the nannies take the children back and forth,” one source said regarding how the children are moved to and from Tiger and Elin Woods’ homes. Elin moved out of the home they shared and into a rented house about a mile away. One of Tiger’s employees goes over logistics and schedules with her. Relations between Tiger and Elin Woods? Not exactly cordial. “They’ve had no conflict over the kids but they’ve also had no contact,” the source said. “Elin Woods has made it very clear this is the way she wants it.” Elin stopped going into Tiger’s house when dropping off the children, and now has their nannies take the children from house to house during the day. “They don’t speak anymore,” the source said, noting that the relationship is growing worse. “Even on the rare times when they see each other in person.” Elin has taken four trips away from Tiger in the past several weeks, including one to her native country (she’s rumored to be moving to Sweden for good). She stopped putting out a while ago too. When Tiger announced his return to golf, Elin believed he wasn’t sincere about changing his life. Prior to that, it appeared the marriage could be saved. Despite the fact that both sides have lawyers and barbs have already been traded in the looming split, there has been no Tiger Woods divorce filing. Yet.

Two Weeks Notice: Bret Michaels Plans Return to Stage

Posted on May 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sources close to Bret Michaels have given fans their two-week notice: The recovering rocker really is planning a return to the stage before this month is over. “He’s still in rehab,” an insider told People . “His doctor told him to do physical therapy once a day, but he’s doing it twice a day, because he wants a speedy, 100 percent recovery.” As everyone now knows, Michaels suffered a non-aneurysmal brain hemorrhage on April 21. But doctors credit his ” sheer will to live ” as a significant reason why he’s already on his way back to touring. Girlfriend Kristi Gibson also played a major role. Reportedly, Bret has his sights set for his public appearance to be the May 23 finale of The Celebrity Apprentice . Nothing would make Donald Trump happier, we’re sure. The singer is also anxious to return to his Roses & Thorns tour. “It’s looking likely that his first date back will be May 28 at the Hard Rock in Mississippi,” said the source. “Bret sounds good. He’s still on meds and he sounds tired.” We’re anxious to see you back on stage, Bret, but health comes first. Get all the way better and then we’ll throw our panties at you in concert!

Diddy Paid A Quiet Visit To See Lil Wayne In Prison

Posted on May 13, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘No one knew [he was here] until it was time for him to leave,’ our Rikers Island source says. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Sway Calloway and Rahman Dukes Lil Wayne Photo: MTV News Lil Wayne has been behind bars for almost two months now, and he’s managed to make headlines as if he never went away. The rapper made waves earlier this week for having headphones, a charger and a watch that doubles as an MP3 player in his jail cell, according to a source at Rikers Island who spoke to MTV News. And last week, Diddy visited the Cash Money Records superstar in jail. But according to the same Rikers source, the Bad Boy mogul made more noise in the papers than at the prison facility. “No one knew [he was here] until it was time for him to leave,” the source told MTV News. “You know, also, a lot of the time people don’t want to seem like they’re stargazers, the officers.” Diddy has yet to comment about his Lil Wayne visit. The rapper has picked up a job while at the Eric M. Taylor correctional facility, but with his recent infraction, he may be stripped of his duties as suicide-prevention aide. Prior to his violation, the Rikers Island source said Lil Wayne has blended in with the rest of the prison population. “It’s just day-to-day business, nothing different than anything else,” the source said of the New Orleans MC’s activities. “You got to understand, this is a different type of atmosphere. It’s not like the prisons where you go upstate, to Sing Sing or places like that. This is a medium-security [population], not maximum security.” Are you awaiting Lil Wayne’s release?

Lil Wayne Could Serve More Time Because Of MP3 Player In His Cell

Posted on May 13, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘You lose some ‘good time,’ ‘ our source at Rikers Island says of contraband found in Wayne’s cell. By Shaheem Reid, with additional reporting by Sway Calloway and Rahman Dukes Lil Wayne Photo: Derrick G A source at Rikers Island confirmed reports that Lil Wayne was busted Monday for having headphones, a charger and a watch that doubles as an MP3 player in his jail cell. The offense isn’t extremely serious, but it could mean more prison time for Wayne. “You just get an infraction, a violation,” the source told MTV News. “You lose some ‘good time.’ “It depends on the severity of the infraction,” the source added about what other type of trouble Weezy could get into. “Level one is the worst. Then you have [level] two or three. [This infraction] could be a level one. He has to go on trial, and based on evidence, they’ll make their determination.” Our source also confirmed that Wayne has a job as a suicide-prevention aid, which entails staying up at night to keep an eye on at-risk inmates. “He checks each cell or area to see if each guy is alive. There are three shifts,” our source said. “I think his shift is at night, like 11 [p.m.] to 7 [a.m.] or 12 to 8.” That job is now in jeopardy due to the infraction. In 2007, Lil Wayne was arrested for attempted gun possession following his first headlining performance in Manhattan at the Beacon Theatre. New York is among the toughest states in the country when it comes to gun-possession laws. In other states, Lil Wayne could have gotten off with a misdemeanor rap and probation. However, in New York, only law-enforcement officials and those affiliated with authorities are permitted to carry firearms. The rapper was sentenced to a year in prison in March.

The Hills Cast: Destroyed By Fame!

Posted on April 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Drugs. Feuds. Violent outbursts. Unnecessary plastic surgery. This week’s Us Weekly features an expose on how three lives – Kristin Cavallari, Audrina Patridge and Heidi Montag – have been ruined by MTV’s The Hills. The report coincides with The Hills season premiere this week, and amid reports that Heidi is forging a dangerous addiction to painkillers post-surgeries. “She’s a shell of her former self,” a show insider said of Montag, whose rep responded to the claims, saying of the story: “This is completely ridiculous.” But is it, though? With allegations of Kristin’s drug problem and Audrina wasting away to nothing before our eyes, are these girls all totally lost causes? And is the reality (term used loosely) show to blame? Grouping Kristin and Audrina in with Heidi may be a stretch. “They are addicted to the fame,” the source says. “As The Hills winds down and people start to care less, they are desperate to get back that high.” Indeed, Heidi Montag and her husband, Spencer Pratt, have developed increasingly weird behavior. While their 2008 elopement to Mexico was done with a knowing wink, they’re recently “crossed over to this bizarre place.” Case in point: The 10 plastic surgery procedures she had in one day last November “because she knew it would be a huge story,” an insider says . Laments pal Jason Wahler, “I knew her when she was normal.” THG NOTE : When Jason Wahler is commenting on how he knew you back when you were normal, you know you have serious, serious problems. Pals say they’ve always had a thirst for fame – especially Spencer, who reportedly went after Audrina before pursuing Heidi to get on the show. Now Montag will never be the same. Says a source who knew Heidi, “She was spellbound. If it weren’t for him, she’d be a mom in the suburbs.”

Tiger and Elin Woods’ Divorce: Who Will File First?

Posted on April 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Elin Nordegren is so over Tiger Woods. That’s the consensus from everything we’ve read, and it’s hard to blame the woman. But is Tiger over his wife, as well? All indications are still that a divorce is ” 100 percent happening ,” and it’s not just the endless parade of cocktail waitress mistresses that solidified their fate. “The writing is on the wall,” says a well-versed source close to Tiger. “He committed to several additional golf tournaments, which effectively says eff you, Elin.” “She was not in support of him returning to golf. His self-imposed hiatus didn’t last; he screwed up at the Masters and left his calm, collected image in ruins.” The insider, who has dealings with Tiger Woods both professionally and socially, believes an official divorce announcement could be a mere few days away. Still, this is Tiger Woods Inc. Even the specifics of how the divorce will be announced has potential to be quite the protracted battle between Tiger and Elin. Tiger’s marriage status resembles his face in this awesome doctored pic . “Even [the divorce] will be negotiated,” the source says. “Does [Tiger] take the high road and ‘allow’ her to file, or can he not stand the idea of people thinking he wasn’t in control? What will the statement say regarding custody?” “Right now, you’d think he’ll be bargaining for joint physical custody when she’ll surely want to piss him off and file for sole custody. As for spousal/child support? I daresay things are about to get even juicer than you think.” Really? We’re thinking pretty juicy stuff. If we were Elin, we’d take a cue from the Sandra Bullock-Jesse James divorce and get the ball rolling ASAP. What’s the use in dragging it out? Give up. Move on. She supposedly wants to start over in Sweden . Hopefully, if Tiges respects his soon-to-be former wife and kids, he’ll just bow out and let her do as she pleases. This would make sense from a business standpoint, too. His PR blitz wouldn’t exactly get a boost from preemptively ditching the wife … if she does, though? Maybe, just maybe, the public sees Tiger Woods as a sympathetic figure, or at least a guy who got what he deserved and can now move on to better things. Like the Orlando cocktail lounge VIP scene. HOLLA!

Reports: Elin Woods to Start Over in Sweden

Posted on April 26, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Updating previous reports, Tiger Woods’ wife Elin supposedly wants to return to live in her native Sweden, according to sources close to the situation. Elin is currently in that country with the couple’s two young kids. Tiger said he spent time with family after the Masters, but he’s certainly not there. While he lives the single life in Florida and resumes his golf career, Elin is making plans for a life after she divorces Tiger, a source told Radar Online. “Divorce is openly discussed,” the source said. “And a deal will be worked out.” It looks like time may be running out on this marriage . Tiger and Elin’s marriage took a turn for the worst in recent months after the embattled couple seemed to get closer when Tiger came out of sex rehab. While no Tiger Woods divorce papers have been filed yet, they barely talk to each other and live separately, although they have been extremely civil. If Elin does wish to move back to Sweden, however, that is sure to concern the world’s #1 golfer, who does not want his son and daughter so far away. The issue has not become a problem yet but is now looming over the divorce situation as she keeps building what looks like a new, independent life. Elin Woods and the children are currently on vacation in Sweden and she has begun extensive renovations on the home she recently purchased there. What should Elin Woods do?
