Listen up, Young Adult Literature Fans! Hollywood bigwigs are currently casting for a film adaptation of Tiger Eyes, Judy Blume’s classic 1981 novel about a teenage girl struggling to cope with the death of her father and life in unfamiliar New Mexico.

Gossip Girl villainess Willa Holland will be playing plucky protagonist Davey, while relative newcomer Tatanka Means takes over as Wolf, a mysterious canyon dweller with a crush on Davey.
We’re thrilled! The only thing that could make this more exciting is if Lifetime would get the ball moving on a made-for-TV version of Judy’s poignant adult novel Summer Sisters. Which of your favorite childhood books would you like to see reformatted to film?

Nicole Richie Rips Paparazzi

Nicole Richie has a bone to pick with pesky pappers. The furious bad girl-turned-protective mama bear has fired off an angry letter — in Full Bitch Mode, mind you — to X17 Online photographers who park outside her daughter Harlow’s Los Angeles school happily snapping away.

Richie — who has two children with fiance Joel Madden — has been a paparazzi target since her first season of The Simple Life debuted back in 2003. She’s taken it in stride, but the reformed wildchild draws the line at “stalking” her little girl. Nic wrote a scathing letter to the offending photographers, calling them “irresponsible and repulsive.” In fact, she’s threatening to play the vigilante in an effort to cull the paparazzo she feels are endangering the lives of kids and parents.
“THANK YOU so much for posting the video of your employees sitting outside of my daughter’s school, because now the entire world can see how creepy and disgusting you are,” Richie fumes.
“You do not get to spend 200 dollars on a camera, and think that gives you a free pass to shadow my child. These are strangers, grown men, stalking children. You think that’s ok?” she asks.
And the rant didn’t stop there. Nicole further rages at the paparazzi for another three paragraphs!
“You are stalking the children. Now how do you feel? I PROMISE YOU that I am going to do a background check on each and every person that I see there. For the safety of my children and others,” she writes, before accusing X17 of hiring photogs with lapsed driver’s licenses. “The last time I did a check on your staff, I found they had no license. Remember that day? The day that ended with a car accident and me in a hospital? You, x17, better be pretty confident in your actions, and feel really good about what you are doing.”
“If I find out anyone has a suspended, restricted or invalid license, I will have them thrown in jail before they can pick up the phone and call their lawyers. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. These are young children and you should know better. X17, you are irresponsible and repulsive. Consider this a warning.”
Team Nicole or Team Paparazzi?

Gavin Rossdale Cops To Gay Sex With Transgender Singer Marilyn

Mr. Gwen Stenfani, Gavin Rossdale, is setting the record straight (No pun intended) n about rumors of a past fling with cross-dressing British pop singer Marilyn.
Culture Club’s Boy George revealed that Rossdale and singer Marilyn – real name Peter Robinson – were once an item, years ago, but both denied the claims at the time. Marilyn to admit last year that he was involved with Rossdale for five years, beginning when the rocker was only 17. Marilyn brands Rossdale the “love of his life” and admits that he only kept quiet to avoid damaging star’s career.
Now the ex-Bush frontman — who has two sons with Stefani — is spilling the tea on the gender-bending romance by chalking his relationship with Marilyn up to a youthful transgression.


“I think at the outset there was a sort of fear—that was right at the beginning of Bush, and I didn’t want it to be part of it. It felt like a cheap shot, so I was like, ‘I’m not getting involved.’ I’ve never wanted to appear closed about it. It’s not something I’ve talked about really because it’s always been in the glare of a tabloid world,” Gavin revealed to Details in the mag’s November issue.
“It’s just one of those things: Move on. When you’re 17, Jesus Christ. I don’t think there’s anything strange about any form of – you’re learning about life. It’s a part of growing up. That’s it. No more, no less. That was it….”
When asked if his sexual affair with Marilyn was the result of “a one-time experimentation,” Gavin replies: “Yeah. That was it. You have to know what you like, and I know what I like.”

Aw, guess that means he likes Gwen!

Lindsay Lohan Flees Rehab In Pursuit Of Coca-Cola!

Someone Alert Security: Lindsay Lohan busted out of The Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, California last week in pursuit of Coke…Coca-Cola, that is.

Lindsay Lohan is back in the headlines after she was caught red can-handed in a bizarre attempt to escape rehab to buy a can of fizzy pop from a local vending machine.
Milkaholic? More like Coke-aholic!
Carrot Top and an unidentified patient at the facility were nabbed when the Mean Girls star’s co-conspirator got her jumper caught on a fence as they were sneaking back onto the premises after buying a soft drink from a vending machine at the nearby Eisenhower Medical Center. There are no vending machine at The Betty Ford Clinic, because luxuries such as caffeine, along with phone calls, television, and sex, are strictly prohibited.
“Lindsay and her co-conspirator were forced to give it up and they flagged down a volunteer who was crossing the centre’s grounds on a golf cart,” a source told RadarOnline Wednesday. “The pair was safely returned, decaffeinated, to their hall, where they were the center of a process meeting over what they had done.”
Lindsay is now on her fourth rehab stint after being jailed for three cocaine related incidents.
Lohan checked herself into the in-patient rehab facility near Palm Springs on Sept. 28 and will reportedly remain at the facility for treatment for cocaine addiction until at least her next court hearing for probation violation, which is set for Oct. 22.
In July, the troubled starlet, 22, spent 14 days behind bars for violating the terms of her 2007 DUI probation.

David Arquette Apologizes For Tell-All Interview With Howard Stern

Well..that was quick: David Arquette says he’s sorry that he revealed the intimate details of his crumbling marriage to wife Courteney Cox in a telephone interview with shock jock Howard Stern on Tuesday.

Arquette called into Stern’s Sirus Satellite Radio Show this week to talk about his split. The actor also admitted that he slept with Hollywood cocktail waitress Jasmine Waltz, 28, and that it made him feel “manly”.
“I did have sex with her one time, maybe twice… my sexual encounter made me feel pretty manly,” David told Howard. “Part of the terms of our separation was that I was allowed to see other people and so was she.”
The actor also said he knew his wife was having an “emotional affair” with her Cougar Town co-star Brian Van Holt, 40, but did not know whether it was physical.
In a series of updates to his Twitter page on Wednesday, David, 39, fears he may have shared too much information during his purging chat with Stern. David even revealed that he hadn’t had sex with Cox for four months!
“I went on Howard Stern yesterday to provide clarity and honesty about what I’m experiencing, but while doing that, I shared too much.… “ David wrote. “It’s alright for me to be honest about my own feelings but in retrospect some of the information I provided involved others and for that I am sorry and humbled,” he added.
Despite his regrets over his statements, he now says he believes this rough patch in his life will only make him stronger.
“I’m sure Courteney and myself will emerge from this painful time better people from what we’ve learned. Thank you for all your Love and support at this time. I’m trying figuring out how to be the best person I can be…”

The Jonas Brothers Cancel Mexico Concert Amid Security Concerns

The Jonas Brothers have cancelled an upcoming concert in Mexico following a wake of violent attacks on civilians in that country.

The “Lovebug” hitmakers were due to perform in Monterrey on 21 October, but promoters with Live Nation have axed the gig due to “a series of unfortunate events” prompting concerns for the singing sibilings’ welfare. Monterrey is Mexico’s richest city and historically one of its safest, but a wave of drug-related violence has shocked residents there in recent months. More than 400 people have died in drug-related killings in the area in the last year.
On Wednesday, JoBro fan Dharyus Ledezma begged the trio on their Facebook page to announce a new concert date soon. The Monterrey resident said she had been looking forward to seeing the band since the show was announced five months ago.
Kevin, Joe, and Nick are still expected to perform in the Mexican cities of Guadalajara and Mexico City on Oct. 23 and 24.

Michael Lohan Turned Down “Celebrity Apprentice”

Lindsay Lohan’s estranged father is a man of many opinions — thankfully for the rest of us, he won’t be sharing any of them on the next installment of The Celebrity Apprentice.

Michael Lohan had been in negotiations to be part of the cast of Donald Trump’s hit NBC show, but ultimately turned down an apppearance on the show because he’s “too busy.”
“Although the meeting went well, I was too busy with other things to be on the show,” says the former Wall Street trader.
Rapper Lil Jon, baseball star Jose Canseco, former Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath, R&B legend Dionne Warwick, pseudo-singer Latoya Jackson, and the always opinionated Star Jones have reportedly signed up for the third season of The Apprentice’s C-list celebrity spinoff, which goes into production in New York next week.

Lamar Odom Hires Kris Jenner As Manager

The toughest Hollywood family to keep up with is keeping it in the family in a whole new way. We hear that Calabasas socialite and star of television’s Keeping Up With The Kardashian Kris Jenner has agreed to represent her son-in-law — NBA ace Lamar Odom — as one of the hoopster’s new managers.
Lamar married Kris’ daughter Khloe, 26, following a whirlwind romance last September.
Word is Kris will handle all of Lamar’s “non-basketball” stuff, including endorsement deals for the standard fee of 25% of all proceeds. Kris’ duties will also include setting up paid appearances for Lamar and we’d presume, filming a sex tape between him and Khloe.

Kanye West Naked? Kanye West Nude Pictures For Sale!

Let’s have a toast for the douchebags…Let’s have a toast for the penis! Enter Your Bids, Ladies & Lady Boys: Pictures of Kanye West’s pecker are now available and up for grabs on the Interwebs, celebrity informants squealed to RadarOnline.com Thursday.

Never one to mince words, Yeezy is remaining uncharacteristically quiet about reports that a self-snapped photo of his penis — which the rapper/producer reportedly emailed to a number of online friends prior to the success of his debut album The College Dropout — are now for sale and being shopped to various media outlets.
“These pics have been floating around since he hit so many girls up on MySpace. He probably sent them to many, many women,” one insider whispers.
And get this, ‘Crunchers: RadarOnline claims to have seen the two images in question. One of the naked snaps allegedly shows a nude Kanye from the chest up, wearing sunglasses and a gold chain, while the second photo features the 33-year-old’s genitals exposed from his boxer briefs.
In a recent magazine interview, Kanye admitted he had contemplated posing naked as part of his desire to “break every rule of hip-hop.”
“It’s like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Björk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked.”

Christina Aguilera Divorce: Did Aguilera Cheat On Husband Jordan Bratman?

Divorce is in the air! Hot on the heels of the Courteney Cox/David Arquette split (and the Laura Dern/Ben Harper split, while we’re at it) comes the news that after a son and five years of marriage, pint-sized powerhouse Christina Aguilera has filed for divorce from her husband, producer Jordan Bratman.
Aw shucks, now we feel bad for putting them in our “Hot Girl, Fug Dude” Gallery!

Christina, 29, and Jordan, 33, began dating in 2002, before announcing their engagement in February 2005. They tied the knot in a wedding ceremony in the Napa Valley that November. It was the first marriage for both.
The date of separation is listed as Sept. 11, 2010, although celebrity snoops maintain that Jordan and Christina have been leading separate lives for several months. According to the rumor mill, Aguilera may have had an extramarital affair, but that has yet to be confirmed and Aguilera’s people have not commented.
“They were very much in love, but over the last six months, it became clear they were more like friends than husband and wife,” tipster tell Us Weekly.

The “Fighter” hitmaker cites the ever-popular “irreconciliable differences” as the reason for the split. Since there is a prenup in place, Christina wants to stop Jordan’s ability to get spousal support. According to the divorce petition, filed in Los Angeles Thursday, Christina asks that “Earnings and accumulations of [Aguilera] before marriage, during marriage and from and after the date of separation” be considered separate property.
The two will share custody of their 2-year-old son, Max.
On Tuesday, a rep for the multiplatinum-selling Grammy winner confirmed the couple had split, with the singer issuing a statement.
“Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever,” Christina said at the time.

Spike TV Mining Reality Show, “Coal,” Series Premiere April 2011

In what some industry observers are calling a stroke of television casting magic, the producers of TLC’s Deadliest Catch are working on a 10-episode Spike TV docu-series on mining in West Virginia, The Hollywood Reporter dished on Thursday.
News of the upcoming series premiere of Coal comes as TV viewers around the world remain captivated by the rescue of 33 trapped Chilean miners this week. More than 1 billion people worldwide tuned in to watch the harrowing saga unfold via live stream this week.

Spike TV executives, however, say the show has been in development for about a year.
“It didn’t take a tragedy, and then a miracle, to get us excited about this,” says Sharon Levy, executive vice president of original programming at Spike, told The Hollywood Reporter. “Obviously, we’re humongous fans of the kind of shows Thom does that celebrate the everyday man. He said, ‘We’re working on this project called Coal. And we said we’d take it.”
The network postponed formally announcing the premiere of the new show until the Chilean miners — who spent two months trapped nearly a mile underground in a collapsed mine — were safely rescued.
“We’ve tapped into something that people are passionate about; this is a topic the world is interested in,” Levy says. “Everybody is afraid of being buried alive. These people risk their lives every day to make the world move, yet most of us never really think about how we get [our energy].”
Spike believes a closer look at the harsh realities of mining is long overdue.
“It’s incredibly difficult to shoot,” Levy adds. “What happened in Chile makes safety precautions even more important.”
Coal will focus on Mike Crowder and Tom Roberts, co-owners of Cobalt Mine in Westchester, West Virginia, and their mining team of more than 40 employees. The series is executive produced by Thom Beers and his Original Productions company, which also produces Ice Road Truckers and Ax Men.
The series premiere of Coal will debut in April 2011.

In the November issue of Harper’s Bazaar Magazine, pop/jazz star Amy Winehouse chats about her new fashion line with designer Fred Perry, love with beau Reg Traviss — and dressing like “an old Jewish Black Man.”

Is Amy In Love? “I hardly know … yet. We’ve only been together three and a half months.”
On Style: “I just dress like… I’m an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it’s still the ’50s.”

Obama Streaker Juan James Rodriguez Apologizes; Accepts Partial Prize

Juan James Rodriguez has apologized for running naked in front of President Barack Obama during a weekend campaign stop in Philadelphia in hopes of snagging a $1 million grand prize issued by a wealthy online prankster.
Rodriguez, 24, was arrested Sunday night for public lewdness after streaking 25 feet away from the president.

“I just ripped off my clothes, then I made my way away from the crowd so no one would get hurt,” Rodriguez told TV’s Inside Edition Wednesday. “Ran past the cameras away from everybody and then knelt down with my hands behind my head and waited for the cops to come.”
Rodriguez — an unemployed, father of three, who is separarted from his wife — said he pulled the stunt in hopes of claiming a $1 million to help his family — but he never meant to embarrass the president.
“Mr. Obama, if you feel I disrespected you in any way, I’m very sorry for that,” he said.
Rodriguez faces charges of public lewdness, indecent exposure, and disorderly conduct.
The billionaire who issued the challenge, Alki David, nonetheless argues that Rodriguez did not meet a major requirement of his challenge: He never got Obama to personally see him naked. However, Alki — who owns BattleCam.com — says that doesn’t mean Rodriguez will walk away empty-handed. He’s providing the cash-strapped Rodriguez with a “generous consolation prize,” that he insists will leave the New Yorker “overjoyed … beyond his wildest dreams.”

Hilary Swank “Conviction” Movie Under Fire From Family Of Murder Victim

Double Oscar winner Hilary Swank has been criticized by Hollywood ambulance chaser Gloria Allred, who claims that Swank and MGM Studios failed to consult the film of a murder victim at the center of the new drama, Conviction, opening in theaters this Friday.

The tale is based on the real-life story of working mom Betty Ann Waters and her brother, who was convicted of the 1980 murder of Katharina Brow. The mother of two was found in her mobile home with more than 30 stab wounds. Kenneth Waters was convicted of her murder in 1983.
Betty Ann was eventually able to use DNA testing to get her brother freed from jail after 18 years. Conviction does not show a reenactment of the crime, instead focusing on Betty Ann’s efforts to work her way through law school, her unwavering devotion to her brother, and her work with the Innocence Project — an organization which works to free wrongly convicted prisoners.
Nonetheless, Brow’s children — represented by Allred — have publicly questioned Swank’s approach to the film, accusing the actress of insensitivity for not consulting the family prior to agreeing to star.

Eva Longoria-Parker Waxwork Unveiled Madame Tussauds Las Vegas

From Wisteria to Wax: In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, a wax figure of actress Eva Longoria-Parker was unveiled at Madame Tussauds Museum in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.
The “Desperate Housewife” burst out laughing the first time she laid eyes . And we can see why!
While there are a few similarities between the real-life Latin lusty and her waxy twin — for instance, the original red one-shoulder Carolina Herrera dress Eva wore to the Alma Awards in 2008 and the replica of her Possession wedding band — we’ve got to say this is one of the less impressive models to come out of Madame Tussauds. Did they just re-use the Catherine Zeta Jones mold or what?
Step your wax game up, Tussauds!

10 Insane Bollywood Movies

Bollywood movies are nuts. Plain bizarre. And to the untrained westerner watching, one can lead to utter confusion. Just when you least expect it the villain will break into song, all while sword-fighting a chopper with one hand and groping a hottie with the other. The heroes are suave, with a penchant for sunglasses, the heroines are usually drop dead… but they NEVER get it on! Well, not really… and if they do the “intimate moment” is replaced by a blossoming flower, or a train going through a tunnel. Oh, and did we mention it’s mostly all spoken through the power of song? And dance, don’t forget the dance. Bollywood formula = boy loves girl, girl is supposed to marry someone else, boy wins her over. Add to that illicit gazes, some wild midgets dancing, a chorus of beauties singing and the odd extreme (comic) fight scene and you’ve got yourself a blockbuster. Totally insane. While ‘Bollywood’ might strictly refer to movies from Mumbai, the Indian film industry comes with more lunacy than can safely be contained in one city – so we’ve widened our scope. However, to whittle it down to 10 was a toughie, and we fully expect some whining, but well… who cares?

If you want ‘out there’ Indian dancing then this is the movie for you. The plot’s more than a little screwed up: Tania can’t recognize the man she’s been sneaking to dance classes with is actually her quiet, subdued husband…
 How stupid is Tania? It’s like when Lois Lane doesn’t get that the man she’s lusting after (aka Superman) is actually her buddy Clark Kent. Other than that there’s plenty of blinging dance routines, and – as per usual – if you’re wearing sunglasses then you’re cool. Totally Bollywood-tastic!

9. Chupke Chupke

Still mega funny even though it’s over 30 years old now. Shot in 1975, this slapstick Indian comedy is a popular family favorite. Deception, drama, decent dance routines and high pitched singing are the norm in this beloved Bollywood movie. Check out the 70s outfits.

8. 3 Idiots

An odd Bollywood comedy which did rather well for itself. The gist of it is that three (idiotic) room-mates all live together in a well-to-do engineering college and they get up to no good. But the best bit is the inventions. You can watch one of them deliver a baby using a makeshift vacuum, drive a cycle-based horse shaver and use a pedal-driven washing machine – whilst jiggling his arms around and singing along gaily.

7. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun…!

Over the top, lavish, extravagant, and unrestrained. This 1994 remake has got it all. Total Bollywood and just the 14 songs to sit through! It didn’t break the bank to make – but went on to be one of the all time highest grossing Indian films. Which was nice.

6. Pennin Manathai Thottu

It’s not so much the movie as one song from it that makes this entry stand out. “Kalluri Vaanil” became an instant internet hit mainly because of Prabhu Deva’s twinkle toes and wriggly shoulders.

5. Kiran Bedi

Kiran Bedi is about a woman who head-butts people… sort of. Kiran Bedi is a policewoman who patrols the mean streets of Bangalore and beats up burly villains. All a little far fetched, but loosely based on a true story. Watch this scene and try not to judge her tragic hairstyle: when you use your head as a weapon there’s little time for gel.

4. Janwar (the one from 1965)

Just when you think you’ve seen it all – you stumble across a 60s Bollywood Beatles tribute scene. Highly entertaining – and arguably better than the real thing. Apart from the fact that it’s your bog standard story of love, marriage, inappropriate partners and angry, disapproving fathers with some musical numbers thrown in.

3. Magadheera

This has been described as the Indian version of Die Hard – so basically it’s a cheesy, action-heavy, plotless movie where the main man tries to have a sword fight with a chopper (not that we can remember Bruce Willis ever doing the latter). But – the fight scenes are enough to land this bad-ass creation into my top 10. Watch and learn Bruce.

2. Alluda Majaka

Possibly the best chase scene in any movie EVER! Except for the animal cruelty issue. This 1995 classic from Devi Vara Prasad is a smutty, controversial, mother-in-law bashing delight. It features jumping Jeeps, balls of steel and horse sliding. But, agreed, that does make you cringe a bit. Starring Chiranjeevi as Mr Toyoda, it’s a totally over the top musical action feast. Someone gets married every five minutes (to yet another song) and then they all threaten to burn themselves because of a coconut. Yes, you heard right. It’s got it all.

1. Endhiran (The Robot)

One of India’s most expensive films to date ($32m), starring aging super star Rajinikanth. People go nuts for this guy – even praying to life size cutouts of the man, and his bouffant. If you think of all the most extreme bits of The Matrix, iRobot, Star Wars….err, any other sci-fi, film, and then double it and add some singing… then you’re almost there with how over the top this movie is…
