Casey Anthony Appears for the First Time in Public!

Image
Casey Anthony in 2011.

(TMZ) Casey Anthony, the acquitted and alleged murderer of her daughter Caylee back in 2008, appeared for the first time in public in Tampa, Florida to face her creditors today!

Despite all the previous years of photos of Casey allegedly in Ohio with her family, this is the first public appearance for the woman deemed "most hated by the public" since her controversial acquittal back in 2011. She now faces her creditors, who are owed back a total of $800k.

Just two months ago, Casey said that she has no income to speak of since her acquittal. With a resume of "alleged murderer," that description can certainly scare-off any employer! :o

The title of "most hated woman" may soon be replaced by Jodi Arias, who is currently under trial in Arizona over the brutal murder of Travis Alexander, so Casey better use that description to use now while she can profit from it!

LaToya Jackson Pushing Michael Jackson's Kids to Do New Reality Show!

Prince, Blanket (center), and Paris pose for a promotional photo some years back.

(Radaronline) LaToya Jackson, 56, is pushing her nephews and niece to appear in a new reality show that she is brewing! LaToya, the sister of Michael Jackson, has signed Prince, Paris, and "Blanket" to her talent agency and is leaning them towards a reality series, according to the New York Post.

Prince has already appeared as a special correspondent on Entertainment Tonight and is set to appear in an upcoming TV episode of "90210."

Meanwhile, Paris unveiled her gothic look to the tabloids, which shocked many people, who were accustomed to her "wholesome look" from previous years. She is also a budding actress and has reportedly signed on for a movie deal.

No word on "Blanket" but he will have equal billing on LaToya's new series in which the controversial singer/actress plans to rake in 15% on the reality show that has some networks bidding as high as $10M for.

Weekend Box-Office: Jack the Giant Slayer Disappoints!

Image
A scene from JACK THE GIANT SLAYER

(Box Office Mojo) JACK THE GIANT SLAYER managed only $28M which is fine with most films but considering its budget was $200M is a big disappointment! Maybe it's like AVATAR that started slowly but gained momentum to earn over $1B? Maybe not, but you never know.

JACK wasn't a total disappointment, considering it earned a "B+" from the Cinemascore 18 and over crowd. As for the under 18 audience, it earned an "A," which is remarkable but it has to work in the studio's favor because these youngsters are the ones forcing the grownups to watch the film along with them.

The studio hopes the good word-of-mouth can work in their favor in the coming weeks.

In second, IDENTITY THIEF earned $9.7M and is clearly above the $100M mark! The comedy is on pace to beat IDENTITY THIEF director Seth Gordon's previous work HORRIBLE BOSSES at the rate it is going.

In 3rd, 21 AND OVER pulled in a dreadful $9M during its debut, which is not good for Justin Chon, who many see as a "breakout role" for the Korean actor. Seventy-three percent of the audience was under 25 years old. Cinemascore audiences gave it a "B" which still gives the movie some hope that it will get some good word-of-mouth publicity.

Rounding out the top 5 were LAST EXORCISM 2 with $8M and SNITCH with $7.7M. SNITCH's overall haul is a disappointing $24.4M for two weeks for action star Dwayne Johnson.

Kristen Stewart Parties with Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner and No Robert Pattinson Around!

Image

(TMZ) Kristen Stewart went to the iconic Troubadour club in West Hollywood with Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner AND without boyfriend Robert Pattinson.

This is the second time that Kristen's appeared and without her "soul mate" Robert Pattinson, who was nowhere to be found. As you recall, Robert wasn't there at the Oscars and she hobbled on crutches with an injured foot. Last night, Kristen appeared with Taylor and that caused a scene with the paparazzi, who were also probably wondering where Robert was.

From all indications, the on-and-off again relationship between the two may be on the way out from what we are seeing (or in this case, NOT seeing).

Sources said last year that Robert's family doesn't like Kristen after she fooled around with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders.

By the way, there are reports that Rupert wanted another try at Kristen because he's getting a divorce from his wife Liberty Ross. The Twilight/Snow White actress said NO! =;

So is there trouble in paradise between Kristen and Robert? Well, she was depressed after the Oscars and judging from Robert's no-show at the Troubadour, that may be the case.

OH NO! A Reality Series about "Preacher's Daughters?"

Image

(Radaronline) Yes, America, the world is coming to an end because a new reality series on LIFETIME based on the lives of teenage "Preacher's Daughters" will be coming your way.

For all, who have put up with "Jersey Shore," all the Kardashian shows, "Wife Swap," "Teenage Mom," HONEY BOO BOO and many more, this show is for you!

This series is based on preacher families from Illinois, North Carolina, Tennessee, and California. The focus will be how these Preachers can put up with teenage rebellion, sex, pregnancy, and underage drinking!

Yes, the ideas of scripted dramas have reached a "dry spell" and now producers have resorted to this.

"Preacher's Daughters" makes it debut on March 12 on the Lifetime channel.

Make sure you autotune THIS OUT!

Epic Divorce Battle Between Ashton and Demi Heading Our Way!

Image

(Radaronline) Demi Moore, 50, just filed her divorce papers and now she's planning to go after Ashton Kutcher's money for support payments! Sources said that Demi is still pissed about Ashton fooling around on her and this is her way of getting back at him!

The documents filed by Demi indicate that they separated November 17, 2011 just after he was busted with Sara Leal in San Diego on September 2011.

Ashton Kutcher, the star of Two and a Half-Men, is worth an estimated $140M through his show, production company, and endorsements. He makes $800k per episode on 2.5 Men.

A Demi insider said that the actress was hurt and humiliated when he was caught with another woman. She doesn't expect to get a lot of money from him but she'll at least give it a try.

American Idol Reveals its Top 10 Finalists!

Image

(Radaronline) American Idol revealed its Top 10 Finalists! The show has a strong women's field while the men are mediocre at best. I guess, it's safe to say, at least for now, that a woman has a better chance of winning American Idol this year after surveying both fields.

Top 10 are:


Men

Paul Jolley
Curtis Finch Jr.
Burnell Taylor
Lazaro Arbos
Devin Velez


Women

Angie Miller
Kree Harrison
Janelle Arthur
Amber Holcomb
Candice Glover


American Idol this year has averaged over 12M viewers and numbers are slightly down when compared to last year. So far, audiences are warming up to Idol judges Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson, and Mariah Carey with host Ryan Seacrest. The format, staging, and new design sets may take awhile to get used to though.

Woah! OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Is, Taking the Weekend Box-Office for a Whopping $80M!

Image

(Box Office Mojo) Disney's OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL brought in a whopping $80M at the weekend box-office, bringing to live ticket sales that were sort of dormant for the past month! The fantasy prequel starring James Franco brought in the highest total for 2013 so far.

Goes to show you the power of the Disney brand and the popularity of Franco went hand-in-hand. The film is NOT their previous fantasy ALICE, which starred Johnny Depp and earned an incredible $116M its opening day, but the results of OZ are by no way disappointing. Families and couples dominated the OZ's core audience.

Despite the huge opening, Cinemascore audiences only gave the film a grade of "B+" which is a bit low considering the Disney brand. However, there is no question that its giant start will take the film over the $200M threshold during its run.

The Disney film took down another film starring Collin Farrell in DEAD MAN DOWN, which took 4th place with a paltry $5.3M. The action-thriller was expected to do fairly well at the box-office but the big opening of OZ obliterated those expectations quickly.

JACK THE GIANT SLAYER took 2nd with $10M, showing that family entertainment has been the dominant genre over the past two weeks.

IDENTITY THIEF took 3rd with $6.3M, which is now heading to DVD/BLU Ray/Digital download land.

Rounding out the top 5 is The Rock's action film SNITCH, earning $5.1M and considered a huge disappointment with a total of $31M over 3 weeks. International box-office numbers should help it become a mild success by the time it ends its run in theaters.

OH NO, NOT AGAIN! George Clooney Splits from Stacy Keibler, Retains Bachelorhood!

Image

(Radaronline) We don't have to tell you what a long list of women George Clooney has split with over the years (yes, there were many! :o ), but all you have to know is his most recent one-Stacy Keibler. The Sun reported the split after a source told them had gone their separate ways.

The two lasted for 2 years, which is amazing if you ask me.

George Clooney, 51, and Keibler, 33, were a handsome couple indeed but the actor doesn't want to be in a long-term COMMITTMENT. [-X Just when everyone thinks he's going to get hitched. . . WHAM! . . . he and the girl splits!

The former professional wrestler and model has said in the past that she wants to get married and have babies one day, but looks like that's not going to be with George.

Some of the actor's former girlfriends have gone out of their way to mention marriage to the press while they were with George and within days they were dumped! Keibler hasn't done such a thing to the press but we don't know what she said in private.

No matter, George is George and he's out looking for new prey once again!

Matt Lauer Contract Won't Be Renewed in 2014!

Image

(Radaronline) Today show anchor Matt Lauer's $25M contract won't be renewed in its last year of 2014, according to a report yesterday. The fall of Matt Lauer has been well-documented ever since former co-anchor Ann Curry was unceremoniously dumped from the show last year in a power move that allegedly involved Lauer.

Since Curry's departure, Today show ratings have plunged and they are now mired in 2nd place behind new leader ABC's Good Morning America! NBC replaced Curry with Savannah Guthrie but she could not save the show from damage inflicted by Lauer, by NBC, and the unfair firing of Curry.

As to why the network wants to keep Lauer at this point, is a mystery. They should admit their loss and buy out his contract immediately so they can startover with a new male anchor. 2014 is a long way from now and having the Lauer on the show will only prolong the agony and plunge the former No. 1 program into deeper trouble in the ratings. A marketing company revealed that the Q rating (popularity) of Matt Lauer has fallen from 19 to 9 this past January. Networks find the q rating to be valuable when evaluating the popularity of a personality and the show, and whether those categories are well-liked. The low score by Lauer shows that he's close to being television's "most hated public figure" for this year! :oops:

Sources say that Lauer has been campaigning for Curry's release from her contract so that the public relations nightmare that implicated him on her release can end.

There are rumors that NBC personalities Willie Geist and David Gregory are being groomed to be the anchor's replacement once he leaves.

As for Ann Curry, she is still with NBC and there is no word if the network will release her from her contract! [-X

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman Are Back Together! Whew!

(Radaronline) Yes, it was a big shock after Danny DeVito and wife Rhea Perlman called it quits in October last year, after 30 years of marriage! Well, good news because the pair has been quietly working on their marriage once again and sources said that the two are set to call off their divorce.

How did Danny do it? He pampered Rhea with spa treatments, dates, expensive dinners, etc., to win her back! AND, it worked! :hello1:

Sources said that the little actor was frequently busy filming "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" that he neglected his wife! :evil:

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler Unsplit?

Image
File photo of George and Stacy

(Radaronline) George Clooney put all those rumors of his breakup from beauty Stacy Keibler to bed when he showed up with her on a romantic dinner date in Berlin, Germany this past Saturday March 16.

Looks like the tabloids were wrong, huh? \:D/

Oh well, the odds of these two staying together are against them, based on Georgie Porgie's track record. It's only a matter of time is what they're saying.

"OZ" Keeps the Box-Office Lead over the Weekend!

Image
OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

(EW) OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL kept the box-office lead with an impressive earning of $42.2M, dropping only 47% of its audience from its opening. The Disney movie which has a grand total of $145M has now surpassed IDENTITY THIEF as the biggest grossing film of 2013 so far.

Meanwhile, Halle Berry's thriller THE CALL took a surprising second place, grossing a better than expected $17.1M in its debut. Berry hasn't had a hit in years and is her 3rd highest debut since GOTHIKA ($19.3M) and SWORDFISH ($18.1M). The film got a "B+" grade from Cinemascore audiences as it appealed mostly to women, who took up 61% of the audience!

Down in 3rd place was THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE starring Steve Carrell and Jim Carrey as rival magicians failed to bring any magic at the box office with a disappointing $10.3M debut. Cinemascore audiences gave it a low "C+" grade which spells doom for the film and its studio Warner Brothers.

Rounding out the top 5 at #4 was JACK THE GIANT SLAYER with $6.2M (with a dismal third weekend total of $53.9M) and holdover IDENTITY THIEF with $4.5M and a grand total of $123.7M!

Lil Wayne Still Recovering from Seizure!

(TMZ) Rapper Lil Wayne is still in Cedars Sinai hospital (Los Angeles) after suffering a seizure 6 days ago. TMZ reports that many suspect he suffered from the effects of a drug overdose.

He has not fully recovered since he moved from ICU and the staff is monitoring him very closely.

TMZ reported that his stomach was pumped 3 times after Doctors suspected that he had overdosed on prescription codeine. The rapper said that he had quit the powerful pain killer a few months ago but looks like his struggle with it is on-going.

Drake, Nicki Minaj, Chris Paul, and Birdman have visited the rapper over the past few days.

MJ and GF Yvette Prieto Agree on Prenup!

Image

(Daily mail) Michael Jordan's fiancee Yvette Prieto, 33, has signed a prenuptial agreement that will in effect protect the NBA Hall of Famer's $650M fortune.

MJ, 50, and the Cuban-American model plan to tie the knot on April 27.

Seems that MJ learned his lesson from his divorce from wife Juanita, who was paid a handsome $168M, plus the Chicago mansion, and custody of their 3 children.

In the prenup agreement, if they both divorce before 10 years together, Yvette will be paid $1M for ever year they were together. If the end up divorcing after 10 years, she gets $5M per year after that.

However, Yvette said that she's not looking to part ways anytime soon because she believes he'll stay with her for life. Of course, she does know that MJ and Tiger Woods were once buddies, but she belives he is "over that."

Good luck MJ and Yvette and congratulations!

(Hollywood Life) THE BACHELOR's Sean Lowe may have won over Filipina-Italian Catherine Guidici but they are living under the specter of the television show's curse of "couples breaking up!"

Bachelor star Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robinson brokeup last year and Bachelorette star Emily Maynard and Jeff Holm also split late last year. Those recent splits are just some of the famous breakups that have plagued THE BACHELOR and THE BACHELORETTE series on ABC.

Everything seems fine-and-dandy once they become "engaged" but after that things start to go awry when the cameras are "turned-off!'

While Sean Lowe is currently undertaking DANCING WITH THE STARS, Catherine can be seen in the audience cheering him on.

Hope these two last. :(

(Kam Williams) EDEN stars Korean-American actress Jamie Chung (HANGOVER 2, GROWN UPS, SUCKER PUNCH) in a dramatic role that has the movie industry buzzing. The film premieres nationwide at selected theaters on Friday March 22.

The film is based on a true story, involving a Korean teenager, who is kidnapped and forced into prostitution in Las Vegas. The movie is one of many films and documentaries (TAKEN, HALF THE SKY, TRADE OF INNOCENTS) around the world, spotlighting the horrible topic of "Human Trafficking."

EDEN also stars veteran actor Beau Bridges and Matt O'Leary. The film was directed by Megan Griffiths. Chung received a SPECIAL JURY FOR BEST ACTRESS award for her portrayal at the SWSX festival in 2012. The film won the BEST FILM award at the San Diego Asian Film Festival last year.

THE CROODS Dominates Box-Office with $44.7M Opening!

Image

(Box Office Mojo) The Dreamworks studio has finally found a hit with THE CROODS, the animated family flick that brought in an impressive $44.7M! The opening was certainly welcomed by the studio which saw miserable past results from November's RISE OF THE GUARDIANS and February's ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH.

THE CROODS' showing at No. 1 also saw the impressive showing of the action-thriller OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, starring Morgan Freeman and Gerard Butler. The film brought in $30.5M, which was unexpected and considering some miserable showings from action flicks the past few months.

Many cite the ads as one of the reasons Olympus did well. Aside from its premise of terrorists taking over the White House, the ad campaign focused on Director Antonie Fuqua's previous hit TRAINING DAY as a selling point for OLYMPUS.

In third, OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL pulled in a respectable $22M after 2 weeks at the top spot. Through 17 days, the film has amassed an impressive $177M.

Rounding out the top 5, Halle Berry's THE CALL brought in $8.7M and ADMISSION, starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd earned a disappointing $6.45M.

Note: SPRINGBREAKERS starring Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez and James Franco brought in only $5M after expanding to over 1,000 theaters. Many expect the film's premise involving naughty girls during Spring Break in Florida to do well in the next coming weeks. However, some fans of Selena and Vanessa, who are in their teens, may be "turned off" by the R-rating.

Joe Weider, Bodybuilding Pioneer, Dies at 93!

Image

(Radaronline) Joe Weider, the bodybuilding icon, founder of fitness mags MUSCLE AND FITNESS, FLEX, FITNESS, and creator of the MR OLYMPIA bodybuilding contest, died at the age of 93 in Los Angeles. The death of Weider marks a second physical fitness icon--with Jack LaLanne (died 2011) being the first--to pass away in 3 years.

The Canadian-born bodybuilder also created the first sports nutrition company back in 1936. Back then it was known as Weider Nutrition and then changed its name to Schiff.

Weider's story is similar to his protege Arnold Schwarzeneggar, having gone from rags-to-riches. He quit school at the age of 12 to help support his family. He took up bodybuilding so that he could fend off neighborhood bullies.

Schwarzeneggar had glowing praises for his mentor and called him the "godfather of bodybuilding." The actor said that it was Weider who inspired him to become a bodybuilder and then later come to America.

Weider is survived by wife Betty, a daughter, and 3 grandchildren.

G.I. JOE RETALIATION Tops Weekend Box-Office!

Image

(Box Office Mojo) GI JOE RETALIATION topped the weekend box-office with $41.2M for the Easter celebration. The film starring Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson, and Bruce Willis was slated to open last year but studio executives at Paramount changed their minds after the what happened to BATTLESHIP, choosing to open in April 2013 which was a brilliant move now that you look at it.

At #2, THE CROODS slipped from the top spot to earn a not-so-bad $26.5M in its second week.

No. 3 saw the impressive debut of Tyler Perry's TEMPTATION which earned $22.3M. The Tyler Perry brand name goes to show you that niche branding does work.

Rounding out the top 5 were OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN with $14M and OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL earning $11.6M.

Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's latest venture THE HOST opened to a disappointing $11M.

Brendon Ayanbadejo: 4 Players Are about to "Come Out!"

Image

(Radaronline) The former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo, a strong advocate of gay marriage, said that as much as "4 NFL players are about to announce that they are gay" in front of the media. The free agent, who was released by the Ravens earlier this week, said that the 4 players are deciding to "come out" at the same time in order to avoid intense backlash from the public and from players.

Ayanbadejo said that his group involved with the LGBT are talking with the players about making the important announcement that will "shake the NFL off its foundation."

He said that they expect backlash from other players but having the 4 come out at the same time may ease the uproar.

Halle Berry is Pregnant with 2nd Child!

Image

(TMZ) Insiders told TMZ that actress Halle Berry is pregnant with her second child. The actress has not made the announcement publicly but a source said that she is 3 months pregnant with actor Olivier Martinez as the Father.

Berry's first child Nahla, 5, is from model Gabriel Aubry, who split from the actress in 2010. The former couple, who had a highly-publicized fight over their daughter and Aubry's fight with Martinez over Thanksgiving, just reached a mutual agreement late last year.

Berry and Martinez just completed a Hawaii vacation in which a member of the paparazzi got a little too close to the actress and caused a fight between photographers and Martinez.

Good luck Halle Berry and hope this new child with Martinez will be a better foundation than the last one.

Rihanna is "Single" But What is CB Doing at her Concert?

Image

(Hollyscoop) Hard to understand pop singer Rihanna and "former boyfriend" Chris Brown. They are "broken up" but what was Chris Brown doing at her concert Sunday night?

Yep, there are photos circulating on the internet with Chris Brown at Rihanna's concert. The two have broken up but now there is speculation on whether they are still friendly or NOT broken up at all.

Confusing! :o

During the concert, Rihanna spoke the audience about "not understanding love at all." She said that she was confused by it all. However, she has NOT confirmed if she has split from Breezy.

Whatever the case, the curious case of Rihanna and Chris Brown goes on with everyone left wondering, "What's up with these two?"

I have no explanation whatsoever. :-

Lindsay Lohan Goes on David Letterman in "No Holds Barred" Interview!

Image

(EW) Lindsay Lohan appeared on David Letterman and they had a heartfelt discussion about her addictions, life in rehab, and questionable lifestyle. LILO was the "butt of jokes" at one point but she shut it down and Letterman relented.

The two go back-and-forth and the actress requested that the talk show host be a "father-figure."

We want to believe her that she's on her way to recovering from her addictions but TMZ had photos leaving a nightclub just hours after she did Letterman. [-X

John Madden (left) and Pat Summerall (right) would form one of the NFL's great broadcasting teams for 22 years!

(TMZ) Pat Summerall, the legendary broadcaster who called football games with John Madden for CBS and FOX, died at the age of 82. No details were released on what he died from.

He called 16 Super Bowls and was a fixture at CBS, teamed with Tom Brookshire before pairing up with John Madden in 1981. Summerall and Madden would become a unique combination up until 1993 on CBS. He moved to FOX in '94 and was again teamed up with Madden until his contract expired in 2002.

After that, he retired but would do guest commentary through the years until 2011.

He is a Pro Football Hall of Famer and was inducted in 1999 as a placekicker for the New York Giants (1958-61), Chicago Cardinals (1953-1957), and the Detroit Lions (1952).

His real first name was George but people mistakenly called him PAT because it read PAT (Point After Touchdown) Summerall on the scorecard.
