Actor Charlie Sheen has had his SUV stolen and found at the bottom of a cliff in LA.
The 44-year-old star reported the vehicle missing early in the morning of February 5, according to reports.
The SUV was later found on its side below a cliff near to the infamous Mulholland Drive area.
It is not yet known if Sheen knew the person who stole the vehicle but police say that the fire department are investigating the area to see if a body is near to the car.
The police are still investigating the incident.
Come one, come all! The great queen and goddess is holding auditions for back dancers for her next tour. This is what a source said about Madonna’s recruiting for her new crusade: “She was looking for new dancers for her upcoming tour. It was pretty epic. Some professionals were doing flips and spins, while the amateurs sort of just stared.” Well, only the best are fit to serve Madonna, now aren’t they. Maybe she’ll find a new boy-toy among them… after all, touring is long and hard, especially for the lower classes. Maybe Madonna can chose one who’s suffering she can alleviate.
Actually this is not the case, as much as Kevin Federline would’ve wanted it to be. It seems there have been a few pictures of him on the golf course sprouting here and there lately. In these pictures Kevin Federline looks like he’s been playing muffin king for too many times and he apparently thought it was all a digital enhancement: “When I saw this picture, I did not think that I was that big. I thought it was Photoshopped. You know? And, then I realized that I was just letting myself go.” Kevin Federline of course found a very practical solution to this: he joined the show Celebrity Fit Club. Maybe those muffins didn’t really brainwash him at all.
Oscar-nominated actress Carey Mulligan has revealed her mum didn’t take her call when she phoned to tell her news of her nomination.
The 24-year-old has been nominated for the Best Actress gong at the ceremony on March 7 and is up against actresses such as Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock.
She revealed that when she got the news she phoned her mum Nano, who is a college lecturer, but told her she was too busy and to call back later.
She said: “I phoned up and said: ‘Mum, mum, mum, I got nominated for an Oscar.’ And she said: ‘Oh fabulous, I’m just with a student, can you call me back in 45 minutes?’”
Oscar-nominated actor Colin Firth has revealed that he doesn’t mind kissing other men.
The star had to lock lips with co-star Matthew Goode in his new movie A Single Man.
In the film, Firth plays a professor who is mourning the death of his gay lover, played by Goode.
Firth also had to kiss actress Julianne Moore in the movie – and revealed director Tom Ford had to keep warning him to stop enjoying himself.
Firth revealed at the UK premiere of the movie to British Star magazine: “Matthew Goode was a pretty good kisser. Julianne Moore was much better but I wasn’t supposed to be enjoying it.
“That was the only time that Tom Ford had to get on my case, saying I was supposed to be playing a gay man and to keep your hands to yourself and get your tongue out of her mouth.”
The 49-year-old star – who has sons Luca, eight, and six-year-old Matteo with wife Livia Giuggioli, as well as a 19-year-old son from a previous relationship – also said he is concerned about hidden homophobia in Hollywood and has called for prejudices to be addressed.
He added: “There might be risks for a gay actor coming out. The politics of that are quite complex it seems to me.
“I think it needs to be addressed.”
Kathy Griffin got to attend the Grammys this past Sunday night after her comedy album was nominated for Best Spoken Word Album. Unfortunately, the comedian lost and she seems to have taken the loss pretty bad. Kathy took to her Twitter not long after the event came to a close to send out a message to the winner Stephen Colbert. Kathy wrote “Stephen Colbert STOLE my mother f-ing Grammy!!” If you watched the show on Sunday, Kathy looked less than thrilled when someone else’s name was called as the winner. She didn’t even attempt to pull off a fake smile or forced clapping.
Blame it all on Google. It seems that Katy Perry actually found out that Russell Brand was going to propose to her when they were in India for New Year’s Eve because she conducted an internet search regarding herself and wound up finding out that Russell Brand was buying rings. This is what Katy Perry said on the matter: “Unfortunately, I still Google myself sometimes, I saw it on Google alerts. I’m going to be honest!” Well, at least she still did her best to act surprised… what a lucky guy Russell Brand is. He will soon have a wife that is willing to fake surprise just to make him happy.
Hollywood stars Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have decided to give their love to other people on Valentine’s Day.
The famous couple usually go crazy to show how much they care for each other on February 14.
But now actor Kutcher has revealed this year they have decided to send flowers to women caught up in trafficking instead.
He told Entertainment Tonight: “Demi and I have done enough Valentine’s Days together, where it’s sort of like, we kind of set the bar pretty high early…
“At a certain point we look at each other and go: ‘We’re not going to go crazy this year.’
“So this year we decided, instead of doing a big crazy thing for each other, that we’d share our love together with other people.
“So there is this organisation in New York that works with traffic girls, so we are going to make all the girls that work with this organisation, our valentines this year.
“And we are going to send them all flowers for Valentine’s Day, so these girls that are trafficking know they can be loved without anybody expecting anything in return.”
Michael Lohan has been arrested after another run-in with ex-girlfriend Erin Muller, according to US reports.
Lindsay Lohan’s dad has allegedly been trying to make contact with Muller by calling her at work last week – a direct violation of the restraining order she has against him.
Lohan was arrested by Nassau County Police on Thursday night and booked for criminal contempt, according to US reports. He is due in court on February 25.
But Lohan told RadarOnline.com: “Erin lied and pressed charges … Erin said I called her but she lied because she heard I was in Costa Rica instead. I have proof and she doesn’t.”
He reportedly added: “Her lawyer asked for money to drop the charges. How is it that I have proof and she doesn’t?”
The incident comes after his repeated public protests that he is moving on following the failed relationship with Muller, even going so far as to plan a move in with new girlfriend Kate Major.
Caprice has said she’s become ‘obsessed’ with her body after modelling for 15 years.
The 37-year-old admitted that she scrutinises her appearance every day to make sure that she isn’t putting on any weight.
According to a source, she said: “After more than 15 years’ modelling, it’s inevitable that I’ve become obsessed with my weight.
“I stand in front of the mirror every single day of my life and look myself up and down. I can look at my body and I can tell that I’ve put on two pounds without getting on the scales.
“And when I get on them, I’m right every single time.”
She added: “My job means I’m very self-disciplined about what I eat. I occasionally pig out on pizzas or nachos but most of the time I’m sensible.”
Well, well, Simon Cowell sure does want to pick out the best for the US version of his very efficient talent show. It seems the great earl is actually considering getting Lady GaGa as a judge on the show once it begins. This is what a source related on the matter: “Simon thinks Lady Gaga is great and really likes her energy. Conversations have been happening between Cowell’s US team and her people about what kind of role she could have on the show.” Really, the people converse with each other? Wouldn’t it be a lot more efficient if Lady GaGa and Simon Cowell themselves met for a one-on-one? Certainly many wonderful things could come from such a friendship.
Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren has changed course and called off her divorce, according to a US report.
Nordegren has shown her support by making a trip to an off-the-beaten track clinic in Mississippi that is reported to be treating the fallen golfer for sex addiction.
RadarOnline reports Nordegren’s demeanour has changed on her return to one of being more upbeat. Sources say the couple now want to work it out and are talking about hope for saving their marriage.
People magazine, meanwhile, cited a source that said: “Elin wants a solid family life. She was a child of divorce and felt her dad slighted her. She absolutely does not want that to happen to Sam and Charlie. So she wants to keep her family together even if she and Tiger live together as friends instead of lovers.”
Sam, 2, and Charlie, 11 months, are the couple’s two tiny children. Earlier reports had Nordegren taking flight from the Orlando home she shares with Woods for Sweden in the New Year. But tellingly, she has stayed put.
Woods, meanwhile, has an image battle on his hands. An insider said: “Tiger wants to go back to being a golf star with major endorsements. He wants his clients, who have kids of their own, to think he is a good family man. He had hoped all along that his wife’s initial furore would die down so they could discuss the situation and behave rationally. Keeping the family together is very important to Tiger so he is doing whatever it takes to keep Elin from leaving him and taking the kids.”
Top celebrity crisis management experts believe Mel Gibson’s goose is cooked.
Celebrities can be forgiven for infidelity and drug-related falls from grace, according to Matthew Traub of Dan Klores Communications.
The bigotry charge that haunts Gibson following an alleged anti-Semitic rant when he was arrested for alleged driving under the influence is another matter, says Traub. “I think that drunk-driving tirade confirmed a lot of people’s suspicions about the kind of person Mel Gibson is,” he told Fox News.
Top publicist Michael Levine said: “I think he’s done. He’ll work, he’ll exist, but I think he’s seared his obit for life.”
Levine’s agency has represented Bill Clinton and Michael Jackson. Gibson, meanwhile, recently said: “It’s 30 years ago that I lost my own personal anonymity. And it’s 30 years ago that the public humiliation began. And sometimes it reaches a global level. And what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. And I’m telling you right now, I’m one strong motherf—– because I’m right back at you.”
Gibson is making rounds for his first movie in seven years, Edge Of Darkness. He added: “What scandal?” That’s mostly newspaper hype, OK?! I can get in with the studio, work with them, or work independently as I wish. And I’ll go on as I always have.”
24 star Kiefer Sutherland has lost $869,000 in a cattle investment scheme scam, according to US reports.
The actor was informed that a cattle manager would purchase cattle from Mexico and sell them on for a large profit in the US but no purchases are said to have taken place.
Another couple from New Mexico were also duped in the scam along with a man from Colorado, according to the San Joaquin Country, Calif, District Attorney’s office.
Deputy District Attorney Stephen Maier said to PEOPLE: “Mr Sutherland has been very friendly and helpful with our investigation. I’m sure he’s happy someone’s getting to the bottom of this.”
It is not yet known if the actor will have to testify in court.
Russell Brand will voice a computer-animated Easter Bunny in a new comedy.
The comedian is set to star alongside X-Men actor James Marsden in the live-action/CGI hybrid I Hop.
Marsden will play an out-of-work slacker who accidentally injures the Easter Bunny and must take him in as he recovers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Brand will flex his comedic muscles, as his character turns out to be the world’s worst houseguest.
The film will be directed by Tim Hill, who helmed Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Kourtney Kardashian is upset after claiming a tabloid magazine “Photoshopped” her body for their cover.
On the cover of the new issue of US OK! magazine, Kardashian, 30, is seen with new baby Mason alongside the headline “My Diet Secrets” and it claims to have an exclusive on her “body after baby”.
However, Kardashian said she never spoke to the magazine for the story, which also includes quotes from her friends as well as stepdad Bruce Jenner.
She said to WWD: “They doctored and Photoshopped my body to make it look like I have already lost all the weight, which I have not.”
Kardashian recently wrote on Twitter: “One of those weeklies got it wrong again… they didn’t have an exclusive with me. And I gained 40 pounds while pregs, not 26… But thanks!”
A Palestinian is suing Sacha Baron Cohen in the US, alleging his comedy Bruno portayed him as a terrorist.
Ayman Abu Aita said he is a Christian peace activist shopkeeper from Bethlehem who was duped into appearing in the movie in the name of a documentary about the Palestinian cause.
He said the filmed ruined his reputation and forced him to sell up: “The worst thing was when they described me as a terrorist, because I’m well known as someone who has opposed terrorism and terrorist acts. People now think bad things about me. They don’t want to deal with me any more.”
Cohen’s previous movie, Borat, brought on a slew of lawsuits from interviewees claiming they were duped.
Bruno shows Aita being interviewed by Bruno; a caption describes him as a terrorist leader from the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, the armed wing of the Palestinian party Fatah.
After asking Aita to kidnap him, Bruno links the man to Osama bin Laden.
Aita’s lawyer, Joseph Peter Drennan, said: “His character has been assassinated. He has sustained significant damages. He wishes to receive the compensatory relief that he is entitled to and re-establish his good character.”
Actor Stephen Baldwin and rapper Sisqo were both evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house in a surprise eviction.
The crowd outside the house booed Baldwin, 43, as he left the house after receiving 50 per cent of the vote.
He was up for eviction against Ivana Trump, 60, who was saved from the vote, and Sisqo, who was also sent home.
Once he was evicted, Baldwin said: “I did the best I could to be a representative of the King of Kings and God the Almighty Father in Heaven.”
He then denied that he had been preaching to the other housemates and added: “I want people to know the truth. But I’m not forcing it on them.”
Tiger Woods let his wife talk to his alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel on the phone in a bid to convince her that she was just a friend, it has been claimed.
The golf ace is said to have told Elin Nordegren that a US magazine was planning to run a story about his relationship with Uchitel. He insisted there was no truth to the report – and let Elin speak to the nightclub hostess for half an hour.
But she grew suspicious the following day, and after he fell asleep, began to text Uchitel,
pretending to be her husband, according to investigative reporter Gerald Posner.
Posner said Nordegren then realised that her husband was lying to her, before she chased him out of their Florida home – prompting the car crash at the end of November that led to a string of lurid revelations about his private life.
Posner reports: “Tiger convinced Uchitel to talk to Elin. The two women spoke by phone for about half an hour, and after the conversation, according to this source, she was satisfied that the relationship was platonic.
“After Woods fell asleep, Elin looked through his cellphone, both sources confirmed. There she found text messages to Uchitel’s number – Uchitel was apparently listed in Tiger’s cellphone under her real name – and among them she discovered one that said, “You are the only one I’ve loved.”
“Shortly after 1 a.m. in Florida, Elin began texting Uchitel, pretending to be Tiger, according to both sources. Elin wrote, ‘I miss you,’ and asked, ‘When are we seeing each other again?’
Uchitel texted back, seemingly surprised that Woods was awake. Elin felt, one source told me, that this response indicated that the two of them spoke earlier that night, before Tiger took his Ambien. At that point, Elin called Uchitel, who answered thinking it was Tiger calling. Both sources said that Elin said something approximating, ‘I knew it was you.’
Uchitel’s surprised reply, according to what Elin told one source, ‘Oh f*ck.’ She immediately hung up.”
