Alina — Thu, 24 May 2012 01:00:16 +0000

Actor Jim Parsons has been outed in a New York Times profile piece.
The Emmy Award and Golden Globe-winning The Big Bang Theory star, 39, has previously skirted around long-running rumors about his sexuality, but, as he promotes his upcoming star turn in Broadway production Harvey, the TV star sat down for an interview with Times columnist Patrick Healy – and reportedly divulged his true identity.

Healy stops short of identifying the actor’s partner in the lengthy article, which focuses mostly on his past and present stage work.
Parsons has yet to comment about the apparent huge reveal in the Times profile piece.

Chrissy Teigen Targeted By Vile Chris Brown Fans

madison — Wed, 23 May 2012 01:00:17 +0000

John Legend’s model fiancee Chrissy Teigen has received death threats following her criticism of Chris Brown’s performance at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday.
The Kiss Kiss hitmaker dazzled fans with a show-stopping performance of his new single Turn Up The Music at the star-studded ceremony in Las Vegas, and the gig had viewers in awe as BMX bike stunt troupes raced and spun on ramps on the stage behind him.
But some of Brown’s pop peers were less than impressed by the high-frills show – Pink and her motocross star husband Carey Hart took to Twitter.com to call out Brown for focusing more on the visuals and less on the vocals.
And Teigen also voiced her thoughts, tweeting, “Why sing when you can dance?”
The subtle dig infuriated the 23 year old’s fiercely loyal fans, and a handful of Brown’s followers subsequently sent Teigen a series of violent messages.
Many of them have since been deleted, but TMZ.com has posted some of the taunts online.
One reads: “All you do is speak s**t, you need to be raped and murdered”, while another disturbing post offered: “Your (sic) just mad because you were another SLUT with a dress at the award show that nobody knows.”
Another Brown fan called the model a “ditzy dumb a** tramp your mom should’ve aborted,” while a fourth added, “you have the brain capacity of a turtle, just die”.
Teigen has responded to the hurtful comments, writing, “Reallllly makes me sad that 99% of the most disturbing comments come from young girls. I’ll end it there but it make (sic) me sad…”

“I have some screen caps (grabs). And I will do everything I can to make sure people know, world wide web or not, you CAN’T state this s**t.”

Robin Gibb Dead At 62

ethan — Mon, 21 May 2012 01:00:19 +0000

Bee Gees star Robin Gibb has died at the age of 62.
The British singer lost his battle with colon and liver cancer and passed away on Sunday, according to his family.
A statement reads, “The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sorrow that Robin passed away this day following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery. The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time.”
Born in the Isle of Man, Gibb began his music career as a teen when he joined forces with his twin brother Maurice and older sibling Barry to form the Bee Gees.
The stars initially tasted fame in their adopted home of Australia, where the family had moved in 1958, but they were catapulted into the spotlight when they returned to their native Britain in the late 1960s.
Their harmonies helped them score early hits with To Love Somebody, Massachusetts and I Started A Joke, but Robin, a vibrato who shared lead vocals with Barry, quit the band to embark on a solo career in 1969 after a disagreement.
He enjoyed minor success in Europe with his track Saved by the Bell, but his album, Robin’s Reign, struggled to make much of an impact on the charts and he decided to reunite with Barry and Maurice just a year later.
The trio’s popularity began to wane and it wasn’t until the mid-1970s that they returned to prominence with the disco hit Jive Talkin’. Follow-up tracks like How Deep Is Your Love, Stayin’ Alive and Night Fever – all from the bestselling Saturday Night Fever motion picture soundtrack – cemented the Bee Gees’ place in history as one of the most successful acts of all time with total record sales in excess of 220 million.
The Tragedy hitmakers, who also penned songs for Dionne Warwick, Dianna Ross, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. The Grammy Award winners disbanded in 2003 upon the death of Maurice Gibb, and it wasn’t until 2009 that Barry and Robin decided to reteam and occasionally perform as the Bee Gees.
Robin, who had resumed his solo work, suffered a career setback in August, 2010 when he was hospitalized with stomach pains after performing in Belgium. He underwent emergency surgery for a blocked intestine – the same condition which killed his brother Maurice.
He bounced back from the medical emergency, but his health continued to cause him problems and he was forced to cancel a string of appearances in 2011. In November, it was reported that Robin, who had been pictured looking frail and gaunt, had been diagnosed with liver cancer, and he confirmed the news in January, revealing that physicians had found a tumour in his colon 18 months earlier, before the disease spread to his liver.
He underwent intensive chemotherapy treatment and spent the first quarter of 2012 in and out of hospital due to various operations, but managed to muster enough energy to return to the stage in February to perform with military singers The Soldiers for London’s Coming Home charity concert, in support of injured servicemen.
In early April, Robin announced his cancer was in remission, saying, “The results of my treatment have been spectacular – that’s the doctors’ verdict. They’re completely stunned by my progress and it gets better all the time. The speed of the treatment and the results have overwhelmed everybody. All the physicians have stated so.”
But days after declaring he was winning his health battle, Gibb was back under doctors’ care after falling ill with pneumonia and slipped into a coma.
His condition was considered so serious, his brother Barry flew to the U.K. from his home in Tennessee to join Robin’s second wife Dwina, their son Robin-John and his two kids from his first marriage for a bedside vigil.
Brave Robin stunned medics by making a “miraculous recovery”, and was set to undertake further chemotherapy sessions at the time of his death.
Robin was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in Queen Elizabeth II’s 2002 New Years Honors, an award he collected in 2004 following Maurice’s passing.
The star’s seventh solo album, Titanic Requiem, written with his son Robin-John and recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, was scheduled for release in 2012 to mark the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sinking.

Monroe Met Kennedy For Emotional Hotel Summit, According To Explosive New Book

samantha — Sat, 19 May 2012 01:00:16 +0000

Marilyn Monroe had an emotional showdown with America’s former First Lady Jackie Kennedy a month before her death in 1962 over her reported romance with the President, according to a revealing new book.
The tragic actress had threatened to go public with her affairs with John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby, who was America’s Attorney General at the time, if her lover didn’t divorce his wife and marry her – and Jackie stepped in to make a personal plea to Monroe during a tense meeting at New York’s Carlyle Hotel, according to biographer Darwin Porter’s new book Marilyn: Rainbow’s End.
In an extract, published in America’s Globe magazine, the author writes, “Jackie begged Marilyn not to publicly embarrass her kids in front of the world. She also pleaded with Marilyn not to make John, Jr. and Caroline the victims of a divorce.”
Porter claims Monroe was touched by her heart-to-heart with Jackie and concurred to keep her romances with the President and his brother a secret, but the biographer alleges the actress had one more huge surprise for Kennedy on the day before her death in August, 1962 – she called to tell the President she had aborted his baby.
Hours later, Monroe was found dead in her Los Angeles home. Her passing was ruled a suicide, but Porter has unearthed evidence that suggests the star was murdered by Chicago Mob boss Sam Giancana for refusing to help Mafia bosses poison Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who the author claims idolised the actress.
In Rainbow’s End, the biographer also claims Monroe had lesbian trysts with Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor, who she allegedly bedded after a Frank Sinatra party in 1961.
Porter also suggests Monroe turned down a marriage offer from her one-time husband Joe DiMaggio’s son, romanced Elvis Presley and Sinatra and was the star of a collection of sex tapes secretly filmed by Mafia bosses to ruin her.

Bobby Brown Debuts Song Dedication To Whitney Houston

ethan — Fri, 18 May 2012 01:00:32 +0000

Bobby Brown has debuted an emotional new song dedicated to his ex-wife Whitney Houston, in which he admits he “messed up pretty bad” during their marriage.
The New Edition star performed the track Don’t Let Me Die on U.S. TV’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Wednesday.
In the lyrics, the R&B singer opens up about the painful loss of Houston and his regrets about their tumultuous 15-year marriage, which ended in divorce in 2007.
He sang, “I guess I messed up pretty bad… I didn’t know who you were… I didn’t know what we had. Now I’m stuck living in the past… trying to get the pieces back… but I guess now you’re gone.”

The I Will Always Love You singer died in February.
The deeply personal song will feature on Brown’s upcoming album, The Masterpiece, which will hit music retailers next month. The release is his first solo project in 15 years

Weiland Rejoins Velvet Revolver! That’s News To Slash

steve — Tue, 15 May 2012 01:00:13 +0000

Rocker Scott Weiland has rejoined Velvet Revolver four years after his bandmates kicked him out of the group following a public spat.
The singer left the band and reunited his former act Stone Temple Pilots for a tour, leaving his supergroup to find a replacement.
After a series of near hires, bandmates Slash and Duff McKagan put Velvet Revolver on hold to concentrate on solo endeavours, but now it appears Weiland is back onboard following a reunion at a benefit concert in January.
He tells ABC News Radio he is writing and recording new music with his former bandmates, stating, “We’ve all grown a lot. We’re able to put egos and differences and old… conflicts aside.
“They gave me a couple of songs and myself and (guitarist) Dave (Kushner) and Duff are gonna be getting together for a songwriting session next week.”

But it appears no one has told Slash of the reunion plans – talking on a radio show in Minnesota on Monday, the guitarist appeared surprised when asked about Weiland’s comments.
He said, “I have absolutely no intention of going back to that… I’m on tour all year. I’ll call Duff, but I seriously doubt (there’s any truth to what he’s saying). We have no intention of going backwards.”
