The internet is all ablaze with the glory of celebrity scandal today. Bad news for the likes of Madonna, Orlando Bloom and Mischa Barton…good news for those of us who love bad news (as long as it isn’t related to us directly). This is the basic premise of celebrity gossip after all: schadenfreude.
First off, Twitter is all about Madonna and what her opulence has caused today. If you haven’t seen her latest tour, called Sticky & Sweet (bukkake anyone?), it is FAGULOUS. Yes, that’s right, I’m coining a new phrase. No matter the venue, that woman/being knows how to put on a big and glittery show (minus the artistry/class of other gay icons i.e. Cher or Bette Midler). That being said, the stage for her tour is huge and the weight of such a massive traveling structure has finally collapsed on itself…and a few people as well. While being assembled at the Stade Velodrome stadium in Marseille, France, the stage fell apart today, crashing down on several workers. So far reports say that at least six people have been rushed to the hospital and one D-E-A-D. It goes without saying that the concert has been canceled.
Speaking of crazy she-animals, it was reported early today that Mischa Barton (of The OC fame) was “removed” from her West Hollywood home late Wednesday afternoon. Before going any further, let’s just make sure you understand who this psycho bitch is. She is well-known in the Hollywood social scene for being a little…off. She tends to self-medicate with anything she can get her hands on. In fact in February 2008 she was charged with DUI and marijuana possession (just the tip of the iceberg if you ask me). So, it should come as no surprise that newer reports today have escalated the starlet’s current state. It appears dear Mischa has been placed under psychiatric hold and transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Mischa, age 23, has a new show coming out on the CW this fall though that may be tossed in the crapper if she doesn’t get her shit together. Following in the footsteps of Britney (who has been placed on psychiatric hold twice so far) isn’t a good idea. Hopefully she will just turn out to have had a bad trip on some magic-mushrooms.
On the less deadly/psychotic side of things: Orlando Bloom has been robbed. The actor, who has been in NYC lately, also has a home in the Hollywood Hills. Yesterday thieves broke into said home and absconded with roughly $500,000 in loot. So far no one has been arrested, but fingerprints were taken at the scene.
Enough with the celeb-drama! How about some good ole’ fluff? Images of the main characters in the upcoming Iron Man 2 have emerged in the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly. I have to say I didn’t see the first and probably won’t see the second but I loves me anything with Scarlett Johannsson. Ms. Scarlett appears to be playing a character named the Black Widow. Not sure if I care for the hair-color but I’m sure its appropriate somehow. Hope she plays a slutty villian…PS That is Mickey Rourke in there too. Scary, no?
- Just a little bit more sad news: Kim Cattrall is single again. Aw.
Time for another BLIND ITEM!!! I know you love them, so shut it:
“Of course everyone is excited to discover who will get an Emmy nod later today. What is far more interesting, though, are the preparations being made for one potential non-nominee. Her staff is gearing up for the worst. They have removed all breakables from the vicinity, and have a bottle of valium at the ready. They have also instructed all non-essential staff to check the nominations before coming in to work so they will know whether they should wear regular work attire or riot gear.”(Blind Gossip)
Hmmm…Katherine Heigl?
Guilty Pleasure of the Day:
I don’t really know who this kid, Taylor Lautner, is but apparently he was in some vampire movie called Twilight. No, I’m not a fan. Yes, he is purrrty to look at. BUT the real reason I’m interested in this is because somehow this photo-shoot for Interview Magazine doesn’t make him look like an “it” boy but rather a gay porn star. Seriously, this shit looks like it could be on SeanCody or CorbinFisher! Plus a video:
