Star Tripping

As was expected Meredith Vieira leaves the Today Show. According to a People’s Magazine source, the reason she left wasn’t that she’s transferring to another morning show, but rather a more honest one:

“This isn’t about leaving to tend to her family – it’s about being done with the phase of her career that requires this sort of a daily, on-air commitment. This didn’t come out of the blue and is something she’s talked about for some time.”

From the quote, I interpret it that she’s like to have a non-daily, recorded show. Probably her own talk show? Nevertheless, whatever her next move might be, we know Meredith will do well in it.

Lindsay Lohan despite the rumors that she’s blaming everyone but herself regarding what’s been happening to her lately, she actually wants to be a better person.

In an interview at the Jay Leno Show she admits that she:

“let a lot of my fans down by putting myself in situations when I was young and wasn’t thinking clearly.”

Contrary to previous rumors, she’s going to accept and face the consequences of her actions and was treated the way she ought to be treated by the Justice system. She’s actually thinking of winning an Oscar Award someday, with her next role as the wife of a mob boss, it may happen.

Mariah Carey really likes showing off her belly not only by being painted with husband, Nick Cannon, naked, but also by adorning her belly with a painting of an Easter egg with both the colors blue and pink (obvious references to her twins: a boy and girl).

A picture surfaced on her Twitter showing the description above last Easter Sunday.

The expectant mom, who’s clearly a fan of belly art – as evidenced by her having embellished her belly with a painted butterfly last month – Tweeted on Sunday: “HAPPY EASTER! Ummm. READY!!!!! Done and done.”

It looks like the babies are coming early next month as expected.

As Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to jail for a few months, she pondered that she was being treated unfairly.

According to a source close to her is saying she feels like she’s being made an example:

“She is being treated differently from everyone else because she is famous,” a source close to Lindsay tells me. “We were all in shock when she was forced to return to jail just to make an example out of her. It’s not right. Especially when she is working so hard to live a healthy life.”

Looks like the basis for the defense team is right there.

Lindsay Lohan has had a week that if most people had experienced it would probably end up in the looney bin. Lindsay on the other hand is still in one piece so far.

Here’s what happened according to E! Online:

Lohan was found to be in violation of her probation, she was sentenced to 120 days in jail, and she was ordered to stand trial.

That’s one mighty expensive—and allegedly stolen—necklace, no?

But wait, there’s more: Prosecutors vowed to fight the reduction of the theft charge.

And if the Prosecutors win, Lindsay will have a longer sentence. However, I see that not happening as her attorneys have doing a splendid job of ensuring that she does as little time behind bars so far.

Glee’s Chris Colfer, better known for his role as Kurt Hummel–the much bullied gay glee club member in the hit show, is not just a pretty face with a really nice voice anymore as he’s also a good businessman and writer.

Chris just sold his first pilot episode of The Little Leftover Witch to Disney. The story deals with a witch that was adopted by a family after she crash landed on them with her broom.

The Glee star will also be writing and starring in Struck By Lightning, an independent movie that deals with coming of age issues.

Good luck Chris!

Superhero movies are in the rage again as, besides the Superman Reboot, most people are also waiting for Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.

Although the main villains are supposedly all named, two actor’s (Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) roles have been revealed:

Cotillard will appear as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father’s philanthropic endeavors for Gotham. Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.

Is it just me or are these roles fit for bit players and not for some mid-hitters like the 2 actors mentioned? Is there more than meets the eye when it comes to their roles?

With the Superman Reboot in the news, the previous Superman director talks why his version didn’t sit well with most of the audience

Bryan Singer, known for directing the X-Men and Superman Returns movies, admits he may have made a few mistakes such as panning the movie as a romantic when people expected a superhero action one.

So with Superman, again, it was romantic and nostalgic and NOT a high octane summer movie like Transformers or something like that. I think people would’ve wanted that from me, knowing what I did with the X-Men, where I shed all the comic-ness and tried to make it real.

Lesson learned: If one does a superhero movie, it’s a good suggestion to know what your audience likes and stick with it.

Nick Cage is a lucky guy. Despite him getting arrested for being a nuisance, someone actually bailed him out. The curious thing is, it’s Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Duane Chapman, AKA Dog the Bounty Hunter, bailed Cage for $11,000.

“This is what I do for a living. There are two sides of my job: I release my clients after they have been arrested; and pick them up if they don’t show up in court,” he explained. “I do not believe the latter will be the case for Mr. Cage.”

Let’s hope that Nick Cage appears in court at the appointed day, or Dog will be after his tail.

Nicholas Cage was arrested in New Orleans this Saturday morning.

The charge is domestic abuse and disturbing the peace. According to New Orleans Police it all started when Cage had a fight with his wife, Alice Kim.

“Cage and his wife were standing in front of a residence that he insisted was the property the couple was renting. She disagreed, and Cage grabbed her by the upper arm and pulled her to what he believed was the correct address. There were no visible signs of injury on his wife’s arm,” the NOPD said in a statement.

“The actor then began striking vehicles and later attempted to get into a taxi. At that point, an officer who had been flagged down by onlookers drove up on the couple, immediately observed that Cage was heavily intoxicated and ordered him out of the cab, which prompted Cage to start yelling. The officers subsequently took Cage to Central Lock-up.”

It was found out that he was drunk. Cage is to appear to a court on May 31.
