A very famous celeb Tweeted this beautifully painted baby bump today with this caption: “My attempt @ festiveness on 327! For ATLITL thank u + I♥U! Comin soon #dembabies! LYMA+thanx 4 making me happy:).”
Any guesses on who this famous-and-ready-to-explode-belly belongs to?
It’s no other than the tummy of Mariah Carey who seems overjoyed by the impending birth of her twins, one boy and one girl – to the point of painting a butterfly on her belly…well, we don’t really know who did the painting. Maybe it was her hubbie, Nick Cannon…
The TwitPic came one day after Carey shared that she had contractions which had sent her briefly to the hospital. In another Tweet the famous singer wrote: “[The babies] almost came on 3/27 … We have a few more weeks 2 go but- wow!!!: ).”
Britney Spears performed at two not-so-secret shows Friday night at the Palms Casino Resort’s Rain Nightclub in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The concerts were supposed to be a secret and were not announced until the day of the event when Brit took to Twitter:
“Looks like my little secret isnt a secret anymore. Whos coming to watch me take the stage TONIGHT at @RainLasVegas at @PalmsLasVegas?”
Brit first performed a private show at 8 p.m., followed by a midnight concert open to the general public with tickets selling for $60. The 45-minute set featured tracks from her upcoming Femme Fatale album and was shot by MTV for a special to coincide with the release of her album.
During the shows, Britney had several costume and set changes and Jersey Shore‘s Pauly D entertained and warmed up the quaint crowd of about 1,000 before the festivities started. Britney performed Hold It Against Me, Big Fat Bass and Till The World Ends.
This was Brit’s first pulic performance since her Circus tour in 2009. Her boyfriend Jason Trawick was on the scene as was her dad, Jamie Spears.
Femme Fatale will be released next week. Watch her performance from Friday night below:
Bret Michaels almost died last year of a brain hemorrhage which he believes was caused by a severe injury he sustained while performing at the June 2009 Tony Awards, ten months prior to the hemorrhage.
How did the injury happen? A heavy piece of the set was being lowered onto the stage and ended up smacking Michaels right in the face. The rocker was knocked down and ended up with a cut lip and a broken nose. OUCH! You can see the pic that Bret Tweeted after the accident to see his immediate injuries.
Michaels has now filed a lawsuit against Tony Award Productions, CBS and other defendants in L.A. County Superior Court claiming negligence, civil battery, negligent misrepresentation and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage and has asked for an unspecified amount of damages.
“One of the most common causes of this type of hemorrhage is head trauma — exactly like the one Michaels suffered at the hands of the Tony Awards,” the lawsuit alleges.
Here is a statement by Bret’s law firm explaining why the rocker is now suing: “Although he had already suffered significant damages in the period immediately following the incident, Michaels tried to turn the other cheek and was reluctant to take the matter to Court. Accordingly, Michaels and his legal team made several efforts to resolve the matter amicably and out-of-court. The producers of the Tony Awards refused, telling Michaels to pound proverbial sand and not even offering so much as an apology. Nonetheless, Michaels, having well earned his reputation as the kind of guy who can take a punch, was still willing walk away. All that changed when Michaels was almost killed by his injuries and he was forced to think about the fact that because of the Tony Awards, his daughters might grow up without their father.”
I think Bret has a pretty damn good case after watching the horrific footage of the incident. Watch it below for yourself:
Back in 2009 when the folks at Tony Awards tried to brush off the incident as a no big thing, Bret’s rep released a scathing statement about the incident which reads in part:
“I find it surprising that a Tony spokesperson would brush off this incident with a comment stating ‘Mr. Michaels missed his mark’ with no mention of concern for his condition. If everyone at the Tonys were aware that Bret missed his mark then they should have been aware enough to stop the set piece from hitting him or at least slowed it down until he cleared the stage.
I feel had this incident happened to Liza Minnelli, Dolly Parton or Elton John the Tonys would have at least issued a letter of concern.
Bret has performed live, with Poison or solo, for over 20 years and on a daily basis is around pyro, lasers and a moving light show. He understands that there is always an element of risk in any live performance, but Bret entrusts his safety to the crew whose job it is to make sure the show goes off without a hitch and should any member of the band be in harm’s way that they do not complete the gag.
However in this situation Bret was not on his stage but was at the mercy of the Tonys. He was performing on the Tonys stage and had the reasonable expectation that that safety of the artist was a priority and at no time did he do anything over the top or outlandish that would have put himself or others in a dangerous situation.”
This is just a bad situation. Good luck Bret – I hope you win this!
American Idol is so good right now that it’s hard to remember that so many of us deemed the show dead after Simon Cowell‘s departure from the judges’ panel.
Thursday night’s Idol results show was pretty amazing TV. There were too many moving and memorable moments: From a results shocker way earlier in the season than ever, to Randy Jackson stopping Casey Abrams mid song, to the judges using their one save without any deliberation needed, to Casey dropping to his knees in utter joy after being saved unanimously by the judges, to Hulk Hogan making a surprise appearance and then punching Ryan Seacrest into the audience and ripping his own shirt apart, to the judges acting all star struck during Stevie Wonder‘s surprise performance, to Stevie singing happy birthday to Steven Tyler.
I am not sure which of those was my favorite moment of the night, but I tell you, the picture above which Steven Tyler sent via Twitter after Idol ended tonight kinda stole my heart. The caption simply read, “WITH STEVIE AFTER THE SHOW….MAGIC…LUV, ST.”
Gilbert Gottfried, the voice behind the Aflac Duck, has been fired for making tremendously inappropriate Tweets about the devastating Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
A statement released by Aflac which coincidentally does 75% of its business in Japan reads: “Gilbert’s recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac. There is no place for anything but compassion and concern during these difficult times.”
Gottfried’s tweets were anything but compassionate and they certainly showed no concern for the massive destruction and loss of life suffered in Japan. Read what he shared via Twitter for yourself and see why Aflac had to let go of its long-time quacker:
Poor David Arquette. As he is trying to get his life back in order, he gets into a car accident Friday on his way to the Burbank airport to fly to Las Vegas and attend an event hosted by Kim Kardashian. But I guess he is doing much better than feared at first because he Tweeted away a couple of hours after the incident.
I can tell he is OK because he says so and because he still has his wits and sense of humor about him in his Tweet, even referencing Charlie sheen in his messages. “I got into a car accident but I’m fine. Luckily I have dragon’s blood running through my veins. Haha Thank you for all your concern.” He continued, “Remember to wear your seatbelt – wish I was.” Good advice there, David!
An eyewitness told TMZ that a car driving in front of Arquette’s silver Cadillac came to a sudden stop and forced Arquette to steer into oncoming traffic and cause the accident.
Although a picture of Arquette circulated showing him lying on the ground bleeding after the accident, his rep told UsMagazine.com that the actor is doing well. “He’s fine. He is on his way to be treated.”
Charlie Sheen has just joined Twitter and he is sending TwitPics and Tweets nonstop! And why not, he already has 1 million followers anxiously waiting to see what he tweets.
Here are some gems he’s sent so far:
“Winning..! Choose your Vice…”
“Winner..! 2012…”
“The only watch that keeps Warlock time – Class of 1927 ring ‘Bambino U’ “
Jersey Shore‘s Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi made a huge announcement on Live With Regis and Kelly: She’s in love!
The man of her dreams? No other than Jionni LaValle– the guy she “met” on the most recent episode of the show.
‘Member him? Snooki couldn’t on the last episode. He’s the one whose name she kept forgetting so often that she decided to just call him “Bernard.” In bed. Ain’t love grand? And they say one-night stands can’t turn into the real thing!
What does she love about Bernard Jionni? “He’s definitely not a gorilla juicehead [her usual type].” She said. “But, you know, he’s a guido.” So, I guess that’s good enough!
Congrats Snooks!
Watch the interview for yourself:
Also watch this interview with Snooki where she talks about meeting Jionni and her arrest…cute definition also of a juice head and a Guido.
This caught my attention. And I admit, freaked me out. Just a little bit.
Justin Bieber just Tweeted: “so @hughhefner says the girls have the fever…interesting…Im a teenage boy. come on.”
What is the Biebs talking about? He’s referring to an interview (watch below) 84-year-old Hugh Hefner held with CNN’s Piers Morgan in which Hef’s 24-year-old fiancée, Crystal Harris, admitted that Hef took her and “the girls” to see Bieb’s movie Never Say Never on Valentine’s Day.
If that weren’t crazy, funny and odd enough, Harris also admitted all the Playmate girls have “Bieber fever.” Before you even think about how weird all this sounds, just wait, and read further. Hef said he had just received word that Biebs and his father want to visit the Playboy mansion.
Is it me, or is America becoming loonier and loonier by the minute?
