…thus landing herself a role in the non-televised, totally-not-a-game show, Plea Deal or No Plea Deal ? Sorry. That’s what you call “low-hanging fruit.” Speaking of fruit, Hayley Marie Norman , the luscious brown pear who’s known as Deal or No Deal ‘s “Suitcase Girl #25” to most people, but as Justice, the badass topless motorcycle mama from Crash , to Mr. Skin, was arrested today in Los Angeles. Hayley is accused of making “obscene or threatening phone calls” to the current girlfriend of her ex-fiance; police were alerted after the woman received a text from Norman which said simply: “You’re a fucking cunt.” Norman has also been charged with vandalism after allegedly scrawling the same epithet, along with the message “This girl sucks dicks for free,” on the side of her romantic rival’s apartment building. Uhm, you’d rather she charged $20? Hayley says that her idol is blaxploitation goddess Pam Grier , a skinspiration that should come in handy in the clink. Hayley, when the criminal justice system is getting you down, just ask yourself: “What Would Pam Grier Do?” (Hint: the answer is always “lesbian shower scene.”) See more from pottymouthed sex goddess Hayley Marie Norman right here at MrSkin.com!
Didja hear the one about the time Tara Reid went to Greece with a guy, got engaged to him, and married him three hours later? No, really, that’s not a joke. That actually happened this weekend. Just in case you haven’t heard, if you see Tara partying at some exotic beach resort or another this weekend, hands off, fellas. She’s taken. Tara announced the happy news via Twitter: “I just got engaged!” she tweeted Saturday, followed three hours later with, simply, “Greece married!” The best part of this positively Britney Spears -esque conjugal caper? The lucky fella is NOT Dutch businessman Michael Lillelund, who was Tara’s (now, obviously, ex-) boyfriend the last time gossip mags checked in with her last November. After several media outlets got the groom’s name wrong, Tara once again took to Twitter to announce: “His name is Zack Kahayov. ” No further details about Kahayov have been released; though reportedly the pair met in St. Tropez in November, their relationship has remained completely under the radar until now. Looks like this blonde beach bunny is craftier that she looks. See NUDE-lywed Tara Reid in the buff after the jump!
According to Corey Feldman, former child star and best friend of the late Corey Haim, child molestation has run rampant in the entertainment industry. “The No. 1 problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia,” he said Wednesday, adding that the “casting couch” exists for children, too. He and Haim were no exceptions to that disturbing trend, Feldman says. Two Coreys: Feldman, left, and the late Haim . Feldman asserted in an interview that directors and other adults in the industry take advantage of young aspiring actors on a regular basis. “It’s all done under the radar… But it’s the big secret,” he said . Feldman also claimed that former co-star Corey Haim’s death last year was the end result of early sexual abuse by an unnamed “Hollywood mogul.” The 40-year-old said that his friend’s long-running battle with substance abuse and addiction was “a symptom” of the molestation he experienced. The actor has said that he was raped by his assistant as a child. “It’s something that will be addressed in my inner soul for the rest of my life, and it’s something that truly affects me,” he told GQ magazine.
Lindsay Lohan is really getting screwed over by the criminal justice system. Serving her jail sentence inside a $2.25 million, 3,000 beach house in Venice Beach, Calif., where she relaxes , parties and gets paid big bucks to shoot commercials? That’ll teach her! In a new interview , Lohan opens up about her tough life. “I’m a very social person, and I like being outside, especially in Venice Beach. I’d like to get out more – just go out and have dinner,” Lindsay says. “I was really upset not being able to go to see my little brother (Dakota “Cody” Lohan) at his birthday party. He just turned 16. That bummed me out.” Of course, there are silver linings. Like NOT BEING BEHIND BARS . “I’ve been having a lot of work-related meetings. Sometimes my friends come over. And I get to see my sister, Ali, which is nice,” Lindsay admits. “When my friends come over, they’re not drinking,” notes the star, wearing an ankle monitor. “Alcohol is not in my house, it’s not part of my life.” But, have no fear, celebrity gossip photographers. When Lindsay is “released” on June 29, it won’t necessarily mean the end of nightclubs for her. “I don’t think you should ever say never,” she explains. Great. Only time will tell, but Lindsay is steadfast that she’s clean for good: “I’ve grown up and I’m willing to do what I have to do to prove that.” “This may come as a shock, but I mean it: I want to start my community service. I want to finish that so I can work in August and September.” “You go through experiences. I do understand that I need to gain some of the respect back, but I’m willing to work hard for that. I understand this is a situation I have put myself in, and I don’t want to go back to that.” [Photo: Pacific Coast News]

Production on The Amazing Spider-Man wrapped in May, but Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are still working on the next chapter … in real life! What we meant by that horrendous intro is that the talented twosome is totally together, in a romantic sort of way. Cute stuff, are we wrong? “They got close during filming and have been hooking up,” a source says. The new couple decided to keep things quiet, the source adds, because Garfield split with Shannon Woodward , his girlfriend of three years, in May. Stone, meanwhile, recently parted ways with Kieran Culkin, clearing the way for this new couple , which is still flying under the radar, by and large. “They haven’t gone public, but he’s told his friends,” the insider says.

We preview the band’s third album, which recalls their Fever heyday and pushes past Pretty. Odd., in Bigger Than the Sound. Panic! at the Disco Photo: Jennifer Tzar/ Atlantic Records Just who, at this point in their career, after a breakout album, a benign follow-up, and a near breakup, are Panic! at the Disco? Are they the frilly dramaturges made famous by A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out ? The stony, California-dreamin’ canyon children that showed up on Pretty. Odd. ? Or, with the release of their third album, Vices & Virtues (due March 22), have they transformed themselves once again? Well, yes to the latter. And no. Because while Vices sees Panic! physically changed (it’s their first album since the departure of guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker, it is very much an album that harks back to their halcyon days. A whirling, whooshing thing that’s long on dramatics — trilling strings, chittering electronics, Haunted Mansion histrionics — and short on pretty much everything from their Pretty. Odd. period. That’s not entirely true, of course. The second half of Vices is highlighted by a pair of songs — the hazy acoustic number “Always” and the herky-jerky “Sarah Smiles” (no relation to the Hall & Oates tune of nearly the same name) — that recall some of Odd. ‘s finer moments. But for the most part, it feels very much like the logical successor to Fever, almost as if their underappreciated sophomore album never happened. That’s probably to be expected … after all, Panic’s remaining two members, Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith have made no bones about the fact that Vices represents “a new band … [and] a new start,” and freed from songwriter Ross’ whims, they’ve made the album unquestionably their own. But just what does their version of Panic! at the Disco entail? Well, if you’ve heard first single “The Ballad of Mona Lisa,” you have a pretty good idea. That song not only kicks off the album, but it serves as a blueprint for pretty much everything Panic! 3.0: namely, an absolute corker of a chorus surrounded by various fantasyland accoutrements. Vices & Virtues is loaded with chippy Casio beats, handclaps, stirring strings, crunchy guitars, blaring horns, chiming bells and an assortment of things that go bump in the night. Urie and Smith told me with much pride that, aside from the horns, they pretty much played everything on the disc, which not only lends credence to their dedication, but also sort of tips their hand: The strategy this time out is clear — more is most definitely more. Because over 10 quick tracks, there’s not a studio trick Panic don’t employ, an instrument they don’t fit in. One can imagine the pure glee Urie and Smith must’ve had making the thing, like kids left to their own devices in a sonic candy shop. Of course, that freedom works both to their benefit and their detriment. Songs like “Let’s Kill Tonight” and album-closer “Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met)” pile on the strings and spooky sound effects (and the choirs and Jeff Lynne vocal harmonies), yet still remain lithe, thanks in no small part to Urie’s vocal theatrics and Smith’s steady hand. But bursting-at-the-seams tracks like “Memories,” which starts out as a widescreen Killers tribute but morphs into an arabesque exercise in excess, and “The Calendar,” which dabbles in Lite FM R&B, feel strangely leaden, something that even the heaviest Fever tunes managed to avoid. But really, those are the only two missteps that warrant attention. And that, in and of itself, is a minor accomplishment. Vices is at its very core a studio album, one stuffed with ideas and instrumentation, which not only positions Panic! as perhaps this generation’s Brian-Wilsons-on-a-budget, but serves as a solid starting point for wherever Urie and Smith choose to go from here. It’s not exactly new, not exactly old, but it’s definitely something. Call it a fresh start, a return to form, a re-imaging of the past, just don’t call it Pretty. Odd. because that ship has sailed. Panic! are back to their old tricks, exclamation point and all … and perhaps that was the secret ingredient all along. Because if there’s one thing Vices & Virtues is, it’s exuberant. If you’re not excited, you should be. What do you want to hear from Panic! on their new album? Tell us in the comments! Related Videos MTV News Extended Play: Panic! At The Disco
‘A lot of girls look up to guys who embody that,’ she tells MTV News of her character’s questionable taste in guys. By Kara Warner Photo: CBS Films As we’ve learned from promos and teaser trailers for “Beastly,” the movie is a modern take on the classic fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast.” Co-starring Vanessa Hudgens and “I Am Number Four” leading man Alex Pettyfer , the basic premise is the same, but there’s a key difference in this long-delayed adaptation. In “Beastly,” Hudgens’ character, Lindy, is a high-schooler operating on the outskirts of the cool crowd when she develops an attraction to Pettyfer’s bad boy, Kyle, who has yet to have his movie-star looks marred by any spells. When MTV News caught up with the “High School Musical” star recently, we asked what she thought about her character’s attraction to the proverbial bad boy. “I feel like a lot of girls think it’s easier to go under the radar, to not really stand up and let their true selves be known,” Hudgens explained about Lindy’s desire to stay in the background. “And I feel like when that happens, a lot of girls look up to guys who embody that, who are just truly out there and, of course, my character falls for that, as a lot of other girls would,” she said. Hudgens went on to say that while the “opposites attract” idea initially draws Lindy to the school’s most popular guy, she senses that there’s more to him and eventually connects to Kyle’s softer side. “Slowly, she falls in love with him, not for his appearance, which I think is the most beautiful part of it,” she said. “Beastly” hits theaters on Friday.

‘Of course i had to join in on Boxing Day….Im Canadian!’ he tweets after hectic shopping day. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber (file) Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ AMA2010/ FilmMagic If Justin Bieber thought he could hit up his local mall on Boxing Day without stirring up a frenzy, he was wrong. When Bieber decided to partake in the post-Christmas holiday on Sunday, hoards of teenage girls took notice … and freaked out. According to Canada’s Record, when Bieber arrived at the Fairview Park Mall in Kitchener, Ontario, the day after Christmas, he couldn’t fly under the radar while trying to shop. “There were vases being broken and people climbing over other people and a lot of screaming,” Bieber fan Taylor Inder told the newspaper. The fan added that there was lots of “chaos” and “screaming, screaming and more screaming.” Bieber first made a stop at a jeans store in the mall and then went to check out sunglasses, when he was followed by hundreds of female fans. Police officers also followed Bieber and his entourage. Bieber hails from Stratford, Canada, near the mall. “I thought, ‘My God it’s a 16-year-old boy who’s shopping; what’s the big deal here?” Sunglass Hut manager Sarah Pelletier recalled about being asked to shut down for the pop star’s arrival. “I was concerned because there were hundreds of girls out there and three police officers at my glass doors, and I’m like, ‘I don’t think this is a good mix.’ ” She explained that she wanted to get him in and out as quickly as possible. “I’m glad he supports his local economy, and he said he keeps some of his money in Canada,” she added. While many Bieber fans delighted at the chance to catch a glimpse of the star, Bieber himself tweeted : “Of course i had to join in on Boxing Day….Im Canadian.” Related Photos Justin Bieber Takes Over The Bodies Of Other Teen Idols Related Artists Justin Bieber
Sometimes when I feel lost in the darkest thickets of professional moviegoing — after hacking through, say, a particularly bad patch of uninspired romantic comedies, dunderheaded action movies and twee, manicured indies — I beg the movie gods for anything that simply looks like a sign of life. But when it comes to the movies of German-Turkish filmmaker Fatih Akin, I’ve learned I never have to beg.
