A Chicago Blackhawks fan made the most of his chance at an intermission contest at the United Center. But it had nothing to do with his slap shot in “Shoot The Puck.” He misfired badly on his attempts to score goals and win prizes, but his consolation prize was an interview with lovely Comcast SportsNet Chicago reporter Sarah Kustok. After recalling his failure in the contest, he told Kustok “I love you” live on center ice at the Blackhawks vs. Minnesota Wild game last night. Here’s our hero in action: Blackhawks Fan Hits on Reporter This was no casual one-off. The Casanova of Chicago hockey then repeated his profession for good measure, telling her. “You’re so pretty and beautiful. I love you.” Kustok, who blushed and was clearly not expecting this, responded, “I don’t even know what to say. I’m just going to say thank you. I don’t know what to say.” Say you’ll marry him on Center Ice next game Sarah.
Vanessa Hudgens introduced Demi Lovato at the People’s Choice Awards last night, prior to the singing coming out and underwhelming us with a performance of “Give Your Heart a Break.” So it’s only appropriate that these two are linked here, in the latest edition of a THG Fashion Face-Off. Both stars chose a dress for the event that highlighted a certain section of their bodies; for Demi it was the chest region; for Vanessa, the back. Do you prefer one style over another? Did Lovato go too far with her cleavage accentuation? Which look do you like best? Decide now.
Angelina Jolie has spent plenty of time in Washington, D.C., as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, but yesterday, she visited the White House with Brad Pitt. There, they enjoyed a private meeting with President Barack Obama! The leader of the free world and Hollywood’s most famous couple dissected the New Hampshire primary . Kidding. They discussed a cause dear to Angelina’s heart … The plight of women caught up in war zones – such as the one depicted in her film The Land of Blood and Honey – and how the U.S. can get involved combating mass violence against civilians in troubled areas was Brangelina’s reason for visiting. Pitt, who has consulted with Obama regarding his plans for the redevelopment of New Orleans’ hurricane-ravaged Lower Ninth Ward, talked about that as well. You have to respect the couple’s commitment to these causes. No word on whether Secret Service confiscated Brad Pitt’s cane before he met with Obama. [Photos: WENN.com]
Rihanna is soldiering into 2012. The 23-year-old singer just posted an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming, action packed film Battleship on her official YouTube channel. Rih plays resident weapons officer Raikes in the film, and says she learned the ropes for it by shadowing an actual member of the United States Navy. “I watched her and I just really lived and breathed in her mindset and tried to really get into her character,” Rihanna says. Check out the video below: Rihanna – Battleship Behind the Scenes
The challenge has been thrown down, 2012. Last year in local news was a great one, as evidenced by this complication of some of the best bloopers from TV journalism outposts across the United States. A story about an flatulent assault that leaves anchors in stitches. A guy attempting to use a jet pack but plunging into the harbor. The unintended use of the words c–t, p–sy and hooters. Cameras panning where they shouldn’t be (numerous). Reporter mishaps, confusion and even rage. All that and more awaits below. Enjoy: Best Local News Bloopers 2011
Uh-oh! Via People.com : Katy Perry was spotted in Hawaii before Christmas without her wedding ring, which could be explained by the fact she was jumping around in the surf. But then husband Russell Brand stepped out on a London street Thursday, also without his wedding band. Now, a drumbeat of rumors about marital woes has grown only louder in the United States and the U.K. amid reports the couple spent the holidays apart. Their usually active Twitter pages have been silent on the issue, and their reps have not commented. Perry, 27, and Brand, 36 , who were wed in October 2010 in India, laughed off reports of problems earlier this month, with Brand telling Ellen DeGeneres, “I am really happily married.” Yeah. It’s probably a wrap. SMH.
Former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson is never one to hide her staunchly conservative political views. Her latest rant surrounds Muslim infiltration of the U.S. Jackson, on her web talk show this week, claimed the United States is being overtaken by radical Muslims bent on bringing the nation under Sharia law. Seriously. Citing insider knowledge, she said the following: “I just went to a briefing in Washington DC, across the street from the Capitol, at the Longworth building at 8:30 am two days ago and it changed my life.” “For six hours, I saw pictures and names and dates and facts and Islamic law books and Korans, Surahs for six hours and they proved to me that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our highest positions in government and this is serious.” “Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum are the only GOP candidates to acknowledge the above facts and warn against the present threat of Islamic Law replacing the U.S. Constitution. Very few people in America are informed and educated as I am.” There you have it folks. “Few people are as informed and educated” as Victoria Jackson. Perhaps she means that ironically, as in she is so ridiculously misinformed, paranoid and uneducated that few people could ever stoop to her level. Eh, probably not. She also thinks Glee makes kids gay . But we need to subscribe to her Podcast for the unintentional comedy factor alone.
