Justin Bieber Denies Being Angry and Rude to Fans at Grandparents House in Stratford

News of an angry Justin Bieber has been surfacing on the internet today.

The truth is – it’s not true.

Sources have been reporting that an angry Justin Bieber grew irritated with his fans and cursed at them when they appeared in front of his grandmother’s house in Stratford Ontario.

Bieber is back in his home town with girlfriend Selena Gomez and it has turned out to be quite the media frenzy for the small town of 30,000.

But after a cell phone video taken by one of the fans surfaced, the rumor started that Justin was angry, rude, and none too friendly to his fans.

Bieber and Gomez have been staying at his Grandma’s house while in Stratford.

We watched the video and see no evidence of any anger or rudeness, nor did we hear any cursing or cuss words. It simply looks like he was asking them to leave in a very polite way.



On Saturday, Justin’s best friend Ryan Butler took to twitter to try and calm the storm saying,

“Some of you guys are asking me about the whole incident that happened outside of Justin’s grandma’s house earlier this week. A bunch of fans were standing outside of his house with cameras and screaming for him to come out. After a couple hours, Justin had no choice but to go out himself and ask the fans to please leave his home, this is where he spends time with his family and friends, he asked them respectfully without raising his voice. I was there to witness it. He will always love his fans!! He at no point said for anyone to “Go Home” in a demeaning tone. He just asked them to leave his house respectfully”.

There, the issue is settled. There is no need to get excited, and no need to believe that

Justin has turned into an evil tattooed rock star.

Besides, the bigger question should be why he is taking pictures of himself with his hands in his underwear in a revealing pose like this one?

Video - 11-Year-Old Jackie Evancho Takes the World by Storm with “Dream With Me”

If you you’ve never heard of Jackie Evancho don’t worry – you will.

This 11-year-old soprano prodigy has taken the word by storm with her first full length album “Dream With Me” and is outselling Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and Katy Perry combined.

Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho was first seen during season five of “America’s Got Talent” when she was just nine years old, and blew away viewers who couldn’t get enough of her exquisite singing.

In addition to singing, Jackie also plays the piano and violin and even co-wrote the title track on "Dream With Me" with producer David Foster.

Watch Jackie Evancho Interview with David Foster


Jackie was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to Michael and Lisa Evancho and says she became interested in singing after seeing “The Phantom of the Opera”. She has two brothers, one older and one younger, and a younger sister.

Jackie says she was amazed that her debut single “Oh Holy Night” was so well received, and couldn’t believe that it sold over a million copies and has since gone platinum.

Evancho has teamed with the famous David “Hit Maker” Foster to produce her first full length CD titled “Dream With Me”.

On the album, she features the duets “A Mother’s Prayer” with Susan Boyle and “Somewhere” with Barbara Streisand along with her favorites “O Mio Babbino Caro”, "Ombra Mai Fu", "The Lord’s Prayer" and “Dream with Me”.

But the song everybody seems to want to hear is Jackie’s version of Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel”.

One reviewer says,

“It may well become her signature song – the one everybody wants to hear. She is able to put so much emotion into it and you can tell by watching her perform she absolutely gets lost in the moment. I have rarely seen adults who can perform with such maturity. It made me cry.”

Indeed.

In fact, PBS has been running segments of Jackie’s performance of “Angel” from her show in Sarasota Florida - and PBS only brings out the big guns during their fundraising season.

That should tell you something about this incredible young singer.

Jackie even has her own website at Jackieevancho.com and YouTube channel.

It’s true – we have not been able to find one review that had anything negative to say. This young lady is destined to become one of the greatest talents we have ever seen.

You can purchase her new album on Amazon here.

Forget Lady Gaga, this is the type of music and personality I want my kids to learn to appreciate – but I’m not holding my breath.

Justin Bieber and Jimmy Fallon Team Up For Hilarious Commercial Parody - Video

Last night, Justin Bieber stopped by NBC’s 30 Rock to visit Jimmy Fallon and talk about his new women’s perfume “Someday”.

Well, it wasn’t as much talk as it was funny SNL type commercial parody.

Jimmy and the Biebs did a parody commercial for “Someday” where Bieber says; someday… we’ll be together… Someday I’ll fall in love… Someday I’ll be older…

And someday, I’ll be fat and look like this.

That’s when Fallon appears in his “Bieber” costume.

The skit was shot in black and white and shows Bieber looking at Fallon and wondering how he got to looking that bad.

It is hilarious.

Justin has been doing up New York this week with appearances on the David Letterman Show reading the Top Ten List, and visiting the ladies at The View for a little Segway racing.

He also visited Macys on Harold Square where he was attacked and knocked to the ground by a confused off duty police officer.

Columbo Actor Peter Falk Dead at 83 - Just One More Thing...

I grew up watching Lieutenant Columbo.

I remember getting frustrated at how long it would take him to actually bust the bad guy even though he knew who it was from the very beginning.

With his dirty old raincoat, beat up old car, floppy eared dog, and wife that we never got to meet - Lt. Columbo always knew how to outsmart the crooks.

And here is a little bit of trivia – during the entire Columbo series the viewer was never told what his first name was, and it remains a mystery to this day.

His Shtick was to ask very basic, and sometimes annoying questions, and just as he was walking toward the door to leave he would stop, turn, and say, “Just one more thing…”

And it was always THAT question that got the criminal busted.

But it was entertaining, and little did I know that Peter Falk and Columbo would become an American Icon.



Falk died yesterday at the age of 83 from complications from dementia at his home in Beverly Hills.

Friends say Falk was involved in a bad car accident in 2008 and suffered a bad head injury and was never the same man.

But Falk did much much more than just play Lt. Columbo.

His career started back in 1957 and by the time he retired had been in over 100 movies and TV shows.

Some of the greats included Murder, Inc., The Untouchables, The Twilight Zone, Murder by Death, The Cheap Detective, The Princess Bride, and others.

Peter Falk was one of the greats - and I expect to see his dirty old raincoat in the Smithsonian’s American History Museum next time I’m in Washington D.C.

Hey, don’t laugh – they have the same “Fonzie” lunchbox there that I had when I was in school.

Feel old yet?

Video - Miley Cyrus Rushed on Stage by Crazy Fan During Australian Concert

Pop singer Miley Cyrus was rushed by a crazed fan during her “Gypsy Heart” tour in Melbourne Australia last night.

She had just finished her popular song “The Climb” when a crazed fan jumped on the stage and attempted to grab Miley.

Fortunately, security guards ran to her aid and pulled the female fan away from Cyrus and threw her off the stage. Ouch!

Miley was visibly shaken and can be heard saying “Oh my God…” when the fan was grabbed by security.

The attack is at the end of the video…

Miley’s troubles come just a day after another young pop star, Justin Bieber, was attacked at an event on Harold Square in New York City while doing press for his new perfume “Someday.”

Some reports say it was a miscommunication among off-duty security guards but some eyewitnesses say a man charged Bieber and attacked him before being subdued by security.

No if we could just get somebody to attack Lady Gaga and knock her down a peg or two – where’s Chris Brown when you need him?

Video - Justin Bieber Attacked and Knocked to the Ground in New York City

Poor Justin Bieber.

After a long 24 hours of press while promoting his new “Someday” fragrance, he ran into a little trouble on the streets of New York.

Bieber did the David Letterman show last night and read the Top Ten List, visited the Today Show staff this morning, and wrapped his morning with the gaggle gals on The View.

After his television appearances he headed over to Herald Square to meet his fans at Macys when things went terribly wrong.

Bieber had entered Macy’s to do a quick session with reporters and then headed back outside to greet his fans when a man jumped a metal barricade and secondary rope line and knocked Bieber to the ground.

Witnesses say Bieber was visibly shaken when his two body guards jump into the fry to isolate Justin from the rest of the crowd.

Other witnesses say that it took three bystanders to subdue the attacker until police arrived.

One girl said,

“The guy just jumped the line and started attacking Justin. He pushed him around and finally knocked him to the ground. Everybody was screaming and running around and all you could see was people everywhere.”

Watch Channel 7 Eyewitness News Report


After the incident Bieber returned to the store and went upstairs to meet with fans that had a prearranged meet and greet with the pop singer.

One girl in the crowed was slightly injured but refused medical treatment.

There has been no official statement from Bieber’s camp or Macy’s.

That must be one mighty powerful perfume….

Video - Justin Bieber Does Top Ten List on David Letterman Show – Hilarious

While Justin Bieber takes a little time off from his 150 show My World tour, the teen pop sensation stopped in New York to visit some friends.

Bieber was in town to promote his new women’s fragrance “Someday” and he stopped by Uncle Dave Letterman’s show to read the top ten list.

The topic was “Top Ten Little Known Facts About Justin Bieber.”

This is not the first time Bieber has done Dave's top ten list, but was probably the funniest.



Even InfoStar learned a thing or two about the singer.

After doing the Letterman show last night, Justin made an appearance on the NBC Today Show Thursday morning before visiting his gal pals over at the view.

After his New York public relations run for “Someday” the singer plans to spend his time between Atlanta and Los Angeles working on his third album.

Insiders say the new album will showcase a much more mature Bieber in both personality and musical style.

Video – J.K. Rowling Announces “Pottermore” – The Wait is Over!

J.K. Rowling - Pottermore

The long wait is over.

Today we are learning the secrets of Pottermore.

J.K. Rowling has finally taken the cover off her long awaited website and is leaking the secrets of her new Harry Potter world interactive web site - Pottermore.

Rowling tells us that Pottermore consists of the same great stories we are all familiar with but with one new addition – you the reader.

The new site will immerse the user with existing Harry Potter stories but will allow the user to interact within the story similar to an online role playing computer game with its own social network similar to Facebook.

One journalist who attended to U.K. unveiling said,

“Pottermore will let the user dive into the world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Some areas let users shop for wands in Diagon Alley, travel to Hogwarts from the imaginary Platform 9 3/4 at London's King's Cross train station and be sorted into Hogwarts school houses by the perceptive Sorting Hat. Along the way are wand fights, games and new information about characters beloved around the world, including Harry's reviled relatives, the Dursleys.”

The site will go live on July 31, when 1 million registered users will be chosen to help beta test the new online world. It will be open to all users starting in October in various languages.

One sleuth tells us,

“It’s kind of like an online computer game based around the Harry Potter books but will allow you to interact with the characters and others in your social media circle. Points and awards will be given for solving mysteries and finding hidden secrets within the stories that can be cashed in for real world stuff.”

Users who collect points, levels, rewards, and other gifts can redeem them at various places on the site, around the web, or at your neighborhood mall.

In addition to letting Pottermore tickle your imagination, it will let you build on the digital stories that we are all familiar with.

Users will also be able to download digit eBooks containing all seven Potter stories as well as new Harry Potter material.



And Rowling has promised to share secrets with us on the site about Harry Potter that she has kept hidden for ten years.

Lindsay Lohan Fails Drug Test - Not Going Back to Jail – Epic Fail Video

There comes a time when you lose your ability to feel sorry for some people.

After multiple arrests, rehab stays, probation, fines, lost jobs, and media scrutiny, it looks like Lindsay Lohan has finally screwed the pooch.

Lohan appeared in court this morning to answer to Judge Stephanie Sautner after violating her probation by testing positive to alcohol during a drug test.

Who could have seen that one coming?

It seems that Lindsay failed one of the two drug tests she took this week and that violated her probation.

Lohan is under house arrest at her Venice Beach home and is under strict orders to not drink alcohol or take drugs.

But as we all know, Lohan has been partying it up while on house detention, and even threw a BBQ party last Sunday for her friends.

Just a few days ago she told Life Style Magazine,

"I'm a very social person, and I like being outside, especially in Venice Beach. I'd like to get out more. Just going out and having dinner. It's a nice way to just be reading scripts and focusing on what I'm going to do next. I've been having a lot of work-related meetings. Sometimes my friends come over. When my friends come over, they're not drinking. Alcohol is not in my house, so it's just not a part of my life."

Lindsay, saying the words out load does not make them true.

She was also paid $25,000 for a 30 second video shot that was filmed at her home while under house arrest.

Sources say the District Attorney were none too happy that Lohan was throwing parties and flaunting her detention.

So this morning the Judge was expected to threw her back in jail!

But unfortunately, due to a technicality surrounding the testing dates Lohan can not be found guilty for the negative test result. Only in Hollywood folks!

It kind of makes you wonder how many chances this girl is going to get, and quite frankly is an embarrassment to the California judicial system.


That’s right, hard to believe isn’t it - Lindsay Lohan gets away with another violation of probation.

Video – Britney Spears New “I Wanna Go” Music Video - Review

Britney Spears I Wanna Go

It’s been a while since troubled pop star Britney Spears released any new music.

But in recent months she has dropped two music videos and today just released her latest with “I Wanna Go.”

Britney seems to be taking a journey back over memory lane – finding her roots as she parades around in a Mickey Mouse T-Shirt (her career started as a Mousketeer in the Mickey Mouse Club)

There is also a movie banner seen from “Crossroads 2” which is a reference to her 2002 movie “Crossroads” where she played the role of Lucy Wagner and sang “I Love Rock and Roll” and "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman."

The overall theme of “I Wanna Go” is Britney’s rebellion against the paparazzi and she is seen throwing a photographer’s camera to the ground and signing autographs for only the “cool” people.

The video starts with a press conference where she is asked if she is pregnant with Brad Pitt’s love child. She tells them to f#ck off!

Go Britney!



Perez Hilton commented on Britney’s new video saying,

“The video did what it was supposed to and then some! Not only do you see Britney having lots of fun, but you also hear her speak and are just watching her look very normal. This video says that Britney has a great team around her who are advising her well. They know her strengths and weaknesses and what she needs to be doing right now. This video is mission accomplished! Home run!"

Another critic summed it up well with,

"It was absolutely a smart move. Britney's had rumors going around that she's a robot programmed by the people around her, but she takes the robot theme and turns it around on them. It's great to see Britney actually fight the paparazzi in a video instead of running from them for a change. The video feels like it's 'SNL' meets 'Toxic' meets 'Do Somethin'’ meets Femme Fatale. Britney has so many videos where she plays the sex kitten, so to see her kick ass and take names is really refreshing."

Spears is currently on tour throughout North America on her “Femme Fatale” concerts with Nicki Minaj.

What do you think? Is Britney back from the abyss?

Video - Who Is Leo Howard the Karate Master? - Biography, Photos, Video and News!

Kickin' It Star Leo Howard

Leo Howard – a name most are not familiar with.

But beware, because over the next few years you’re going to hear a lot about this 14-year-old extraordinary young man.

Let’s start with the basics:

Leo Howard was born on July 13, 1997 in Newport Beach California and lives near San Diego today.

From a young age Leo was fascinated by the martial arts, karate and kobudo and has studied the arts since he was just a child.

Today, Leo is a black belt master in the field of karate, Shorei Ru, and Wu Shu, and has stunned audiences since he was just 8-years-old with his karate, martial arts, and stunt skills.

Watch Leo do a Karate kobudo Demonstration


Leo’s acting career started when he was just 8-years-old with a small role as the front desk clerk in the television documentary “Camp Hollywood”.

From there, Leo got his big break on the TV series “Monk” playing the role of a young karate expert. From that one appearance, Leo Howard’s acting career took off.

Black Belt Karate Master

His mix of acting ability combined with his karate expertise is amazing, and producers and talent scouts took notice and started beating down his door.

2009 was a breakout year for Leo as he appeared in six different movie and TV projects that propelled him into a fast track Hollywood vocation.

First was the movie “Aussie and Ted's Great Adventure” about a lovable Australian dog who embarks on a mission to return his young owner's missing Teddy Bear.

Next was the movie “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” working alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sienna Miller and Dennis Quaid – a story about an elite military unit comprised of special operatives known as G.I. Joe that takes on an evil organization led by a disreputable arms dealer. Leo performed all of his own stunts and impressed the director and audiences alike.

With two movies under his black belt, Leo completed his third movie titled “Shorts” working with Jon Cryer, William H. Macy, and James Spader.

“Shorts” told the story of a young boy's discovery of a colorful, wish-granting rock that causes pandemonium in the town of Black Falls and the jealous kids and cunning adults that try to steal it from him.

“Shorts” was the big break for Leo and showed he could hold his own in a large movie project. But his celebrity status was just starting to be noticed.

Disney got wind of Leo and cast him in his own show in 2009 called “Leo Little’s Big Show” where he appeared in thirteen episodes about him and his sister Amy who host a show about Disney stars, shows, and movies from their family room.

After appearing in two episodes of “Zeke and Luther” about two best friends who want to become the world's greatest skateboarders, Leo was hired for his first starring role in the movie “Logan”, about two brothers who have their minds set on an impossible task.

Watch Leo Howard in "Logan" Movie Trailer


“Logon” showed Hollywood that Leo had the staying power to not only carry a feature length movie but also work the long hours necessary for a television series while performing action sequences and his own stunts at the same time. Leo Howard was becoming a star.

But his big big Hollywood break came in 2011 when the Disney XD network cast Leo in the role of Jake in the network’s karate action TV series “Kickin’ It” working with Hanna Montana veteran actor Jason Earles.

The series is set at the Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy - a strip mall martial arts studio and the worst dojo in the nationwide Bobby Wasabi chain.

The plot revolves around a motley crew of endearing misfit teens who welcome a hotshot skateboarder named Jack who teaches them about life, karate, and how to just plain kick it.

Watch Leo in "Kickin' It" Interview


“Kickin’ It” was one of Disney’s highest rated new shows and forever cemented Leo’s star on Hollywood.

Leo also scored a major role as the young Conan in director Marcus Nispel’s “Conan the Barbarian” where again he performed all his stunts and karate moves while in heavy movie makeup and shirtless barbarian period costumes.

“Conan” tells of the quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the warrior but soon turns into an epic battle against colossal rivals, horrifying monsters, and impossible odds.

Watch "Conan" Movie Trailer


It’s clear that at only 14-years-old Leo Howard is going to be around for a long time. His combination of acting, humor, martial arts, karate, and teen idol appeal along with the marketing might of Disney tells us his star has just began to rise over Hollywood.

Video - Amy Winehouse Stumbles Through Show – Cancels Remaining Concert Dates and Enters Rehab

Here we go again. Poor Amy Winehouse.

It seems the troubled rock star singer is back on drugs.

Last week in Serbia Belgrade she tried to perform on stage but was so wasted that the crowd booed and heckled her.

A fellow band mate had to remind her what song she was singing and ultimately had to sing it for her as a spaced out Winehouse looked around in confusion.

The video below shows a stumbling Winehouse stopping, and then restarting her show and arguing with her band.



Embarrassing to say the least.

You can tell she is wasted and can’t understand a single word she is mumbling.

By the way, Amy’s handlers are trying to get all the Belgrade videos removed from the internet so there is a chance the above clip will become unavailable.

Earlier this month her reps say Amy checked into rehab at the Priory Clinic but checked out after staying only seven days. You know, the “Charlie Sheen” rehab method.

After news of her disastrous drug fueled performance in Belgrade got out, her team quickly pulled the plug on two of her upcoming European shows saying,

“Amy Winehouse has canceled appearances in Istanbul and Athens for the coming week. Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home. She would like to apologize to fans expecting to see her at the shows but feels that this is the right thing to do.”

After returning home the news got even worse.

Apparently her “Management Team” felt the singer was unfit to perform any more and cancelled the 11 remaining shows of her European tour saying,

“Amy is withdrawing from all scheduled performances while she focuses on recovering. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen,"

While no reason was given for the cancellations, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why.

After all, it is Amy Winehouse.

Video - NBC Drops Pledge’s Reference to God During U.S. Open Golf Coverage

The NBC Network has really got some people upset – including me.

During this weekend’s U.S. Open Golf coverage, NBC aired a group of patriotic children reciting the pledge of allegiance.

But right at the point where it says “One Nation under God” the network switched to a cutaway shot.

When the shot returned to the children they skipped the line referring to “under God” before continuing.

This is how it came across in the broadcast,

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, with liberty and justice for all.”

Wow.

NBC for their part quickly tried to wash over the incident by having host Dan Hicks read the following statement,

"It was our intent to begin our coverage of this U.S. Open championship with a feature that captured the patriotism of our national championship being here in our nation's capital for the third time. Regrettably, a portion of the Pledge of Allegiance that was in that feature was edited out. It was not done to upset anyone and we'd like to apologize to those of you who were offended by it."

Why would NBC think reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in its entirety would upset anybody?

How is taking God out of the pledge patriotic?

Does NBC really think we’re that stupid?

One interesting note - the words "under God" were not added to the Pledge until 1954 when President Eisenhower signed Congressional legislation to add the words.

But when our country doesn’t have the balls to bring God into our national pastime or Government, we are really sending the wrong message to everyone – including our children.

Our country was founded on Godly principles, yet today there seems to be an effort to remove any reference to it from our national discord.

Shame on NBC.

I would be more embarrassed as a host to have to plug a Donald Trump reality show, or an interview with Snooki from Jersey Shore than to use the “G” word in a promotional spot.

What’s wrong with us?

Just another sign of the times folks…..

Buckle up - it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Video - Justin Bieber’s Manager Scooter Braun Turns 30 – Throws World Class Bash

Scooter Braun and Justin

You know what they say; it’s not what you know it’s who you know…

And Scooter Braun knows a lot of famous people.

That was very apparent last Saturday when Scooter turned thirty years old and held on heck of a party.

Braun not only was the one who discovered Justin Bieber on YouTube four years ago, but also became the teen pop sensations Manager, mentor, and best friend.

So how does somebody as connected as Scooter throw a party?

Well, you start by renting out “The Music Box” in Hollywood California and inviting all your friends.

There was Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Jaden Smith, MC Hammer, Usher Raymond, Perez Hilton, Kenny Hamilton, Ryan Goode, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Adam Levine, Wilmer Valderama, Dan Kanter, Mary J. Blige, and others.



Both User and MC Hammer performed on stage, and Justin performed “Never Say Never” with Jaden Smith, and all were on the stage singing and dancing during each other’s performances.

Justin even backed up User on the drums during one of his songs:



Insiders say Justin and Jaden played “Beer Pong” (with water and not beer) most of the night while other celebs took to twitter to tell their fans where they were and who they were with.

MC Hammer tweeted,

“Usher... Justin B. ... Adam Levine .. We’re performing and partying in LA .. Celebrating Scooter’s B Day and Fathers Day !!!”

Usher Raymond was so excited he forgot there was such a thing as lower case when tweeting,

“WE ARE HAVING THE GREATEST NIGHT EVER!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOOTER!!!! URIV”

And while user performed, Bieber was on stage executing some killer dance moves as seen in the video below.



There were also belly dancers and fire eaters and enough food to feed an army. From what we here a good time was had by all and the group partied into the wee hours.

The highlight of the evening was a “Roast” of young Scooter, whose real name is Scott. It was very personal with lots of “stories from the road during last year’s concert tour” and lots of inside jokes from when Scooter and Justin were on the road early in the process hitting up Malls and radio stations.

But there were a few conspicuous absences.

Bieber’s mom Pattie Mallette and divorced dad Jeremy Bieber were unable to attend, and girlfriend Selena Gomez was not there either.

But Gomez had a good excuse as she was in Toronto Canada rehearsing for her hosting duties at the “Much Music Video Awards” MMVA show.

In fact, after Scooter’s birthday bash, Justin hit the road to join Selena in Toronto where he won two MMVA awards.

The first was a tie with singer Drake for International Video of the Year, and the second was for “Ur Favorite Artist” award.

There was one funny moment when Gomez announced the winner and Justin came out on stage to receive his award and turned to Selena and said,

“Selena? Nice to meet you, I’m Justin, maybe we should go out some time?”

The Paparazzi also took note of Justin’s attire as he showed off his T-shirt with a picture of the character Kelly Kapowski from the popular “Saved by the Bell” television series.

So there you go, just another weekend in the life of a $150 Million teen pop sensation.

Photo - “Jackass" Star Ryan Dunn Killed in Fatal Car Crash

Anybody who has ever watched the television show “Jackass” knew who Ryan Dunn was.

Last night, the 34 year old was killed in a fatal car crash near West Goshen Township in Pennsylvania.

News reports say Dunn, and another passenger, were killed around 3:30 am Monday morning. His death was confirmed by Bam Margera's mother according to TMZ.

Dunn’s 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 apparently lost control and smashed into a guard rail before ending up in the woods and bursting into flames.

Friends say Ryan was drinking at a local bar before getting behind the wheel and downed at least 3 beers and 3 shots of hard liquor before leaving.

Elijah Wood to Star in “Tron: Uprising” Television Series

We all know Elijah Wood from the Lord of the Rings movies.

This summer he is also filming the “Hobbit” spin offs reprising his role as Frodo Baggins.

But now it has been announced that Elijah will play the role of Beck in the upcoming “Tron Uprising” animated TV series due to premier in 2012 on Disney XD.

The series will star Bruce Boxleitner as the voice of Tron and Many Moore will provide the voice for Mara.

The television series will follow the plot of the successful Tron movie franchise where a master control program (MCP) sucks people inside a computer game.



As for a third Tron movie, insiders say a lot of that has to do with the success of the television spinoff,

“If there is sufficient interest in the TV series we may use that to launch a third Tron movie. It all depends on what kind of following we can get for the series. If Disney puts its muscle behind it then the legacy will most likely continue – but kids are more familiar with today’s high impact interactive games and high graphic role playing. Motorcycles that ride a beam of light are just not as exciting to kids as they were 20 years ago.”

But even if Tron doesn’t do well on the small screen, Elijah Wood won’t have to worry because he is busy with other projects.

In addition to “The Hobbit” films, Wood will be appearing in “Happy Feet 2 in 3D” later this year.

Reprising his voice role as Mumble, Elijah will return to the Happy Feet franchise along with veterans Elizabeth Daily, Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Hank Azaria.

Happy Feet 2 in 3D will pick up where the last one ended, and Elijah’s character, Mumble the penguin, has a problem.



His son Erik, who is reluctant to dance, encounters The Mighty Sven, a penguin who can fly! Things get worse for Mumble when the world is shaken by powerful forces, causing him to bring together the penguin nations and their allies to set things right.

Her sales of “Born This Way” are down 80% over the last two weeks.

She is being compared to Madonna at every turn.

Her “over the top” persona seems to be getting old.

So what do you do to turn things around?

Release another video of course!

Today, Madonna Lady Gaga released her “Edge of Glory” video off her “Born this Way” album – and reviews are not good.

“It looks like she shot it on a Universal Studio back lot street scene. There is nothing new or exciting about this video and it looks and sounds like another Madonna rip-off.”

Indeed, other than her dancing around on a fake looking set billowing with stage fog there is nothing new here.



We’re not really sure what her message is except she thinks she looks sexy and acts like this is the best new song ever to grace the planet.

It really just falls flat and looks like every other video that artists are putting out these days.

“They crank them out like they are commodities – they all look the same and all sound the same. Her Judas video had 100 times more personality”

True. And with album sales of “Born This Way” crashing down, some say Ms. Gaga’s days may be coming to an end if she can’t come up with something new and original.

“How does she top what she’s already done? The meat dress? The egg? The outfits? She may have rolled all those things out too fast and too early.”

InfoStar agrees. Do you?

Video – “Next 2 You” Featuring Chris Brown and Justin Bieber Released!

It is a far cry from “Baby” and “One Less Lonely Girl”.

In what can only be described as an apocalyptic end of the World kind of video, Chris Brown and Justin Bieber have just released their new video for “Next 2 You”.

Bieber took to his twitter account to say,

“It's here. #NEXT2YOU ...from singing @chrisbrown's WITH YOU in my apartment to this...#DREAMBIG. thanks. #epic"

And epic it is.

It starts with Bieber giving a young girl a gift when she is snatched away by her father who tells her she will never see him again.

Queue the burned out cars, destroyed buildings, fiery streets of death, thunder and lightning, and apocalyptic riot scenes as Brown and Bieber wade their way through a burned-out World searching for his lost love.

There is a lot of black and white footage and a lot of blood. The scenes cut together really fast so it’s hard to clearly see what is happening or any of the details.

And while the World is being destroyed, Bieber and Brown seem to be the only two that remain unstained by the blood and destruction.

But in the end, Bieber finds his girl and gives her a big fat kiss while Brown walks slowly off into the distance…

Epic indeed.

Video - Rep Anthony Weiner Resigns

Rep Anthony Weiner has been under enormous pressure this week as pundits called for his resignation.

And today he finally pulled the trigger and resigned.

President Obama said earlier in the week that Weiner had embarrassed himself and should step down.

The media has been insisting he quit his job.

There was even pressure from inside his own party urging him to quit after his twitter sex scandal and subsequent semi-nude photos from the Congressional gym and locker room appeared.

After announcing he was seeking treatment – for what we’re not sure, and waiting for his wife to return from an overseas trip with boss Hilary Clinton, the pressure became insurmountable.

Today, Anthony Weiner resigned. He quit his job.

Weiner held a press conference in Brooklyn New York to discuss the issue, and is now the third member of the U.S. Congress this year to step down because of a sex scandal. 



He reached his decision to resign after speaking with his wife, Huma Abedin, 35, and informed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last night of his decision.

Saying he had become a distraction to his party, and citing the need for personal time to mend the broken relationship with his pregnant wife, he is leaving office immediately.

But did he really quit or was he fired?

If Weiner would not have left his post, the ensuing ethics hearings, legal wrangling, press coverage, emails, and personal attacks would have led to him being fired indirectly through an impeachment type scenario.

And then there were the cross dressing photos of him wearing a bra and women's lingerie - that probably didn't help.

He really had no choice.

Twitter has claimed its first political casualty.

Video - Canuck Fan Gets Shot In The Groin By Police Flash Grenade – Ouch!

We all know that Canada lost the Stanley Cup last night to the Boston Bruins in game 7 of the finals.

What we didn’t expect was for our Northern friends to start a riot like we do in the United States – we figured Canadians were a little more “refined” then us rowdy Americans.

Where was Anthony Weiner when we needed him? So many possible jokes it's not even funny!

But in what may become one of the most viewed viral videos of all time, one poor Canuck fan got shot in the groin by a Police flash grenade filled with tear gas.



It is one thing to lose the Stanley Cup, but it’s another thing entirely to get shot in the balls with a grenade after the loss.

Where is Gloria Allred when we need her?

But we’re not worried – it’s just a matter of time before we are rioting again for something in the U.S.

Way to go Canada!
