Britney Spears Bringin' In Da Cash!

---

So if you need any financial advice, here it is. First make a few hit records, then make some questionable relationship decisions, have a public meltdown, oh...shave your head, then have an intervention which your family and lawyers take over your finances, and savings, and then... be set for the rest of your life! This is your financial advise from the offices of We Cheatem & How. Just ask Britney Spears who has just learned it pays to have a conservatorship.

In December 2008, the assets controlled by Britney's conservators totaled $2,826,362.68.  One year later in December, 2009 -- the assets controlled by the conservators swelled to $27,500,000 like thats like a zillion percent increase. Most of the gains came from Britney's wildly successful Circus Tour, but still that's crazy money! (No pun intended!)

As for the assets at the close of 2008, there's an interesting breakdown.   Britney's "furniture and equipment" was valued at $1,551,026.  Her jewelry, furs and antiques totaled $264,988.

Now the figures are deceiving.  The conservators only control a portion of Britney's total estate.  She has a lot of money and property in various trusts and other business entitites, which the conservators do not control. So what did we learn? Hmmmm... that Crazy Pays (Gaga, Angelina, Madonna) the verdict is still out, but I need to find my hair clippers and get back in the recording studio....Baby, Baby, Baaaaby!

Jon Cryer from 2 1/2 Men Breaks his Silence on Twitter...Maybe

Various media outlets (and poptopictv,com)  are reporting Jon Cryer has broken his silence, via Twitter, on the whole Charlie Sheen/"Two and a Half Men/Everyon's A Turd/Be My live in Slut" fiasco, except he DOESN'T HAVE A TWITTER ACCOUNT!!!

Cryer's rep, who quickly responded: "Actually Jon does not have a Facebook or Twitter account. I would love for you to let folks know this is all bogus." BUT we are still dying to hear what he thinks...If he would "Tweet" I might start off like "You Shelfish, Stupid F@#. how could you destroy the livelyhood of your co-turds...Now what are we gonna do? How F@#'n Stupid can you be..." or something like that unless he's Ghandi, or Yoda!

Ciara & Rihanna FUED! OMG Stop the World!

This is almost as exciting as the Lil Kim' and Niki Minaj Feud... I think. But why do "arguably" washed up artist pick fights with artist doing well? Is it jealousy, jnvy, or one lats gasp for relevancy. lets get to it. According to our insider, the whole thing started at Clive Davis' Grammy party a few weeks ago. At the party, Rihanna supposedly got a little too close with Bow Wow, Ciara's ex. Now she saaayys, "The whole thing is really silly, because Ciara didn't even want [Bow Wow] at that time. She's just angry 'cause she just thinks Rihanna was being disrespectful."



So people close to the Divas in training say the feud may be more about jealousy than anything else. Last week, Ciara gave her dancers an ultimatum when it comes to Rihanna. When the Bajan beauty's song Umbrella was played during a dance rehearsal, Ciara nearly lost it. "Ciara spazzed out ... She stopped the session and told everyone that the next time someone played a song by 'that no-talent girl', they'd be fired." WELL! there you have it!

DUH!!!!!!!!!! Lady Gaga Admits to Smoking Pot While Writing

In an honest sit-down interview airing before the Grammys, Lady Gaga admitted to smoking pot while writing songs.

"I still smoke a lot of pot when I write music," the outrageous performer told Anderson Cooper during her '60 Minutes' interview, where she appeared in a flesh-color leotard because she "didn't feel like wearing clothes."

"So I'm not gonna, like, sugar coat it for '60 Minutes' that I'm some, like, sober human being, 'cause I'm not," she continued, but was quick to add, "I don't want to encourage kids to do drugs."

She claims she no longer uses cocaine but was quite honest about her marijuana use, saying her honesty is for her fans."When you asked me about the sociology of fame and what artists do wrong -- what artists do wrong is they lie. And I don't lie. I'm not a liar," she said. "I built good will with my fans. They know who I am. And I'm just like them in so many ways."

Gaga's '60 Minutes' interview aired right before her much-anticipated performance at the Grammys. She shocked everyone by showing up on the red carpet "incubating" in an egg-shaped capsule and was "born" on stage while performing her latest single, 'Born This Way.'

Gaga went on to win the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album for 'The Fame Monster.'

Demi Lovato Out Rehab Back With Wilmer Valderrama?

After she suker punches her back-up dancer and then runs off to Rehab, things looked pretty bad for the pop singer, but now that Demi Lovato is out of rehab, sources say that she has returned to the arms of Wilmer Valderrama. What's that, you didn't know they were dating? Well, the two have allegedly been an item since Lovato broke up with Joe Jonas last year.

Despite the age difference (Demi is 18 and Wilmer is 31), the two have apparently been able to keep the relationship strong - and under wraps.  "For now, she is getting back to her regular routine and spending time with her family and close friends," Apparently Wilmer was one of her "routines", we just didn't know about it!

Motley Crue singer Vince Neil was released from jail on Friday after serving 10 days of a 15-day sentence, E!Online reports. Neil was serving a 15-day sentence for driving under the influence. He will now begin serving 15 days of house arrest.

Fast Cars, Fast Bikes, Fast Proposal, Jesse James "I am Humbled" by Fiancee Kat Von D

Jesse has been divorced from Sandra Bullock less than a year, but Jesse James, 41, isn't holding back his feelings for tattoo artist Kat Von D, 28 at least on his Twitter page.

"My 24hrs of feeling sorry for myself is officially over @thekatvond gave me just the thing I needed, Love," the West Coast Chopper CEO wrote yesterday morning. "Humbled by her strength & wisdom."
 
A few hours later, after an apparent chopper spin, he added: "@thekatvond this morning was magic I F'n love riding with u, Feeling you squeeze me tight when we go fast. You lean when I lean. We were one. . .@thekatvond my heart is so full." (Sandra is looking for her brown bag by now)


Earlier this week, Simon & Schuster announced that JJ was writing a tell-all memoir including all the details on the cheating scandal that led to the end of his five-year marriage to Bullock.

Keeping with their Twitter gush fest, Von D tweeted her support.
 
"So proud n excited for @FreeJesseJames for writing an autobiography," she wrote. "Takes a lotta courage 2 be honest-not only w urself but w the world."

The Borne Legacy, Without Matt Damon

So the next Jason Bourne film, The Bourne Legacy, won't star Matt Damon. But plans for the next movie continue, and though there are no plans to recast someone as Bourne, a lot of names are now rumored to play the lead in Legacy. Plenty of hot male leads are on the list, and some aren't surprising, while some are definitely more unexpected choices. But who really could follow in Damon's footsteps

Charlie Unleashes another Message of Mass Destruction

Charlie Sheen just re-unleashed on the "knuckleheads" behind "Two and a Half Men" saying he could never go back to the show if it meant working with, and said affectionately "the turds that are currently in place."

Sheen just called in to Fox Sports Radio with Pat O'Brien, where he claimed during the entire 8-year run on "Men" he felt like "an unwanted relative being given cold coffee at 9pm every night."

And now that show execs have shut down production on "2 1/2 Men" for the rest of the season, Charlie believes the show is also done FOR GOOD, saying, "Can you imagine going back into the sludge pit with those knuckleheads at this point? Can you imagine? It would go bad quickly."

Dr Drew says "Charlie Sheen Has a Point About AA"

Dr. Drew Pinsky -- the world's most famous addictions specialist -- says Charlie Sheen may be manic and maybe a lil' bi-polar,  but surpisingly admits the actor made a point when he criticized Alcoholics Anonymous.

As you may have heard, Charlie ripped AA during an on-air radio rant yesterday he called the group a "bootleg cult" with a success rate of 5%.

And last night at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, Drew admitted, "He's got a point ... their  success rates aren't that great ... but it DOES work when people do it."

When asked about Charlie's recent behavior, the "Celebrity Rehab" star explained, "It's no joke, he's getting manic these are bi-polar, manic symptoms."

Drew adds, "I'm frightened for the guy."

David Arquette: I Thought Courteney Cox Was Having an Affair

David Arquette believed the rumors, too.

In his revealing Thursday interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show -- his first sit-down since leaving rehab last month -- the actor, 39, denied that he cheated on Courteney Cox, but confided that he suspected she had strayed.

Although the couple announced their separation in September 2010, Cox, 46, began discussing a split months earlier. As the Scream 4 actor has previously revealed, Cox gave him a motorcycle for their eleventh wedding anniversary and, in an ultimatum, said, "I don't want to be your mother anymore."
Shortly after that, Arquette explained to Oprah Winfrey, "She came down really depressed one day, and was like 'I'm really just not happy.'" His reaction?

"I felt really sort of abandoned at that point," Arquette admitted. "A deal is a deal." (That phrase is engraved on the inside of the couple's wedding bands, which they exchanged in 1999.)
"I was angry with...the dynamic of our relationship," says the star, who has struggled with addiction all his life. " I was angry with my wife."
Further angering him: "There were tabloid stories coming out about her and someone on her show having, you know, an affair."

When Cox brought up the adultery rumors with him, Arquette says, "I thought she was having an affair with someone. Nobody would've said something like that if she weren't." (He now says he knows those stories weren't "true.")

Also at issue: Cox's huge success on Friends, for which she made $1 million per episode in the final seasons. "She was on this incredibly successful show, so she made more money than me," said Arquette, who added that he sought therapy to cope. "I was sort of always in her shadow. And I'd held all this bitterness."


Arquette also explained incriminating pictures taken of him with another woman last year. After shooting Scream 4 in summer 2010, the spouses were secretly separated. "There was a period of time there that nobody knew about it," Arquette says. "I would go out and I was available again."
A month into that separation, he said, "I met a girl, there was a waitress at a place...It wasn't [an affair]...[Courteney and I] had an understanding. I was completely faithful."

Is there a chance for a reconciliation? "I love Courteney," Arquette proclaimed. "I don't know right now. I want us to be the best people we can be, and then if it's together--I want her to be happy, and if me even being the best person I can be doesn't make her happy in a partner--like, who she needs, whatever she's looking for--that's still to be answered."

He added: "I know that I'll be with her for my whole life. And we have an amazing family together and we're really great parents together."

How did Arquette explain his rehab stay to their six-year-old daughter Coco?

"I told her at first I had to go away to a camp, so maybe that part wasn't honest, but it kind of was," he says. When his little girl visited him at rehab, he told her, "I'm here to learn how to be a better person, but I'm also here so that I don't drink anymore because I've been drinking a lot."
Coco, he said, gave a big smile.

Justin Bieber's 17th Birthday Plans Include Cheesecake With Grandma!

Justin Bieber, is arguably the world's most sought-after teen idol, so what is he going to do for his 17th birthday? Chill with his grandparents, of course. "Hopefully my grandparents will be out here and I'll be able to spend time, a little bit, with them. My grandma makes the best cheesecake — cherry cheesecake. She made that for my 13th birthday."

Of course, Bieber's birthday isn't the only thing making headlines these days. His new haircut has also been causing quite the hoopla, but Bieber seems to be brushing it off. "I just wanted to [cut my hair], that's all. Not really a big reason; I just woke up and said, 'I don't want this anymore,' so I just cut it," he said. "It's not really about that. You know, the fans really liked it, but they'll like me no matter what, because I think it's about the music. I'm really excited to see what the fans overseas think and take it day by day." 

Dr. Dre debuts 'I Need a Doctor' video, pays tribute to Eazy-E: See it here!

Another footnote to the Ruthless Records era has just been written. Dr. Dre debuted his new video for “I Need a Doctor,” the second single off his third—and, supposedly, final—album, Detox. And it does feel like a career-capper. Check it out:


Full of images from Dre’s early days with N.W.A., it metaphorically imagines the life, death and rebirth of the elder statesman of West Coast hip-hop. “I Need a Doctor” begins with Dre standing atop a cliff, staring out at an ocean Inception-style, before cutting to fleeting, impressionistic snapshots of his earlier videos, spanning from N.W.A. to his Death Row days up to the Aftermath era with his protégé Eminem. After Dre endures a horrific car crash and finds himself on life support, Eminem raps about how he’d never have made it without the Good Doctor’s help and guidance. At one point, Dre even seems to appear in a bacta tank, the recuperative fluid-chamber Luke Skywalker takes a dive in in The Empire Strikes Back. (See Lady Gaga’s not the only artist who includes Star Wars references in her videos!)

Visually, “I Need a Doctor” is something of Dre’s “Paparazzi,” full of rage against those who sell out the ones they supposedly love. As with most rap mythology, he’s clearly overstating his case—working hard producing and signing new talent doesn’t mean you’re down and out. And the video clearly devolves into shameless flaunting of his hard body near the end. But this definitely makes us hungry for an N.W.A. movie. Especially with that final close-up shot of Eric Wright’s (a.k.a “Eazy-E”), his Ruthless colleague and N.W.A. partner whose falling out with Dre involved allegations of kidnapping and even the intervention of the Jewish Defense League, before they reconciled shortly before his death from AIDS in 1995.

Also, this marks the video debut of Skylar Grey, the mystery gal who memorably had her coming out party performing the Grand Guignol chorus of “I Need a Doctor” at the Grammys Feb. 13—and who spoke to EW earlier this week. For those itching to get a glimpse of her face then, her ethereal, angelic form here shouldn’t disappoint.

Charlie Sheen Answers Back in an Open Letter

Charlie Sheen just wrote a F@*k you open letter in light of the decision to shut down the production of "Two and a Half Men" for the rest of the season. (According to TMZ)

The letter reads:

What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows ... I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong.

Remember these are my people ... not yours...we will continue on together...

BREAKING NEWS: CBS Pulls Production On Sheen's 'Two And A Half Men' For Remainder Of Season Following Actor's Radio Rant

CBS has pulled the plug on "Two and a Half Men"... for now.

Just hours after Charlie Sheen went on a radio rampage, blasting his bosses at the television show, CBS issued a statement on behalf of the network and "...Men's" production company, announcing they were pulling the show from production of new episodes.


"Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of 'Two and a Half Men' for the remainder of the season," CBS said in a statement late Thursday night.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Sheen called into a nationally syndicated radio show on Thursday and unleashed a shocking rant in which he attacked Alcoholics Anonymous and his hit CBS show.

"I was told if I went on the attack, they would cancel the show and all that and so I'm just sort of seeing if they're telling the truth or not," Charlie claimed to host Alex Jones in an interview for his radio show, "The Alex Jones Show," on Thursday, referring to his CBS bosses.

"Are they happy with the $5 billion they already made off me or do they think they can turn it into $10 [billion] in a couple more seasons?" Charlie continued. "I'm just saying, you know [the show] is a runaway freakin' juggernaut."

Charlie made it abundantly clear he doesn't believe the show can survive without him, telling Alex, "Watch your ratings, dudes. Watch your stupid ratings.

"Do what you've gotta do -- I'll go make movies with superstars and not work with idiots," he threatened.The 45-year-old also blasted show creator Chuck Lorre, calling him a "turd" while claiming that he embarrassed Chuck "in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that his un-evolved mind cannot process."

Sheen Rips 2 1/2 Men Creator, and AA

Charlie Sheen just launched a verbal atomic bomb on live radio, slamming "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre -- calling him a turd and even dissed Alcoholics Anonymous

Sheen unloaded while calling in to "The Alex Jones Show" and claimed he is 100% clean, saying, "Here's your first pee test, next one goes in your mouth. No, you won't get high."

During his rant Sheen compared himself to the Marlon Brando character in "Apocalypse Now" and hit just about everything and everyone: He calls Lorre a turd, a clown, and says his real name is "Haim Levine"

Referring to his rehab stint, Sheen claims to have embarrassed Lorre "in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that his un-evolved mind cannot process." 

On Alcoholics Anonymous, Sheen says it's a "bootleg cult" with a success rate of only 5%, while his is 100% and added, "Newsflash I am special and I will never be one of you."

After one rant the host, Alex Jones, tells Charlie he sounds like Thomas Jefferson. Charlie's response, "I'm not Thomas Jefferson. He was a p***y! But I dare anyone to debate me on things."

On his drug and alcohol issues, "I have a disease? Bulls**t! I cured it ... with my mind."

Yesterday Charlie flew to an island near the Bahamas with ex Brooke Mueller, Bree Olson, and Natalie Kenly. In the the interview Charlie says Brooke has bailed out, saying, "Where there were 4 there are now 3. Goodbye Brooke. Good luck in your travels, you're going to need it. Badly."

Then after ALL THAT, Charlie also said he's ready to get back to work.

French Fashion Mag Defends Beyonce's Blackface Photoshoot!

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Buzz is swirling around Beyonce's recent photo shoot for the French fashion magazine, L'Officiel Paris. Unfortunately for Beyonce, the response to the photos isn't entirely positive.
The pop superstar appears on the cover of the magazine's new March 2011 issue. However, in one photo inside the issue, the singer's skin is visibly darkened with black makeup on her face and neck, which some blogs have labeled as offensive "blackface."


In the rest of the photos, including the cover photo, Beyonce appears without the dark makeup, dressed in African-themed attire.

CLICK HERE to see the article from the shoot.

In a statement to Access Hollywood, the publication raved over Beyonce and the final images conveyed.
"A queen, a goddess, Beyonce is a bombshell beauty with a divine voice. We're thrilled she's opening a season of celebrating the 90th anniversary of L'Officiel de la Mode. The series was conceived as using art and fashion in paying homage to African queens," the magazine's statement noted. "Beyonce mentioned the artist Fela Kuti in the interview as one of her musical inspirations. It was later misquoted as the inspiration for the shoot. We would like to clarify that it is not the case.

"As for the artistic makeup, the inspiration came from several African rituals during which paint is used on the face. We find the images beautiful and inspiring," the statement concluded. A rep for Beyonce did not have a comment on the matter. Fela Kuti, whom the statement mentions as one of Beyonce's inspirations, was a Nigerian musician/activist who died in 1997.


This isn't the first time Beyonce has been at the center of a photo shoot controversy. In 2008, some suggested the singer's skin had been lightened for a L'Oreal ad. So dissed if she's too light dissed if she's too dark, we love you jus' the way you are!

ABC Might Be Taking the Ax To Some Of Your Favorite Daytime Soaps

ABC taking an Ax to some of your favorite Daytime Shows? Remember all those talk shows ABC started developing last year? In the coming weeks, ABC will be deciding if one or more of these projects will land on the daytime lineup come fall of 2011. So what does that mean for the three soaps that are in the daytime line up?

“They have to make a decision by the end of the First Quarter of 2011 in order to get one or more of the shows on the air by fall,” says a source. “Affiliates are getting antsy with Oprah leaving the airwaves with no clear cut successor. The decisions ABC will be making will have ripple effects throughout the ABC Daytime lineup and yes, the soaps will be affected."

“It’s no secret the soaps aren’t as profitable as they once were,” says one industry insider, “and two of the ABC soaps have been over budget in recent years.”

In the fall of 2009, ABC Daytime decided to uproot All My Children and move them to Los Angeles in a cost-cutting effort, however sources tell me long running show, (41 Years) has continued to run over budget since relocating in January of 2010.

General Hospital, which premiered in 1963, reportedly saw its budget slashed significantly recently, resulting in the firing of actress Rebecca Herbst, a move that has since been rescinded. However, sources say more cast cuts are forth coming. “General Hospital isn’t in any immediate danger,” says a insider. “It has the strongest brand by far.”

Upon hearing the reports, a rep from the Daytime Division of the network insisted to sources that there was "nothing to comment on" and that these reports are based on old news added with new speculation.

So, the long and short of it seems to be that your stories are safe…for now.

Charlie's Pregnant? Porn Star "I Don't Have a Baby Anymore"

Just days after she told Charlie Sheen she was going to "take care" of a pregnancy scare porn star Kacey Jordan was caught outside of Boa last night and told reporters I mean "Stalkeratzies" I don't have a baby anymore."

When asked if the baby was Charlie's, KJ who got paid $30k to attend Charlie's coke bender last monthreplied, "I don't really know." Charlie Sheen wrote a $30,000 check to a porn star in the middle of his 36-hour party like a coked out pornstar bash. Sources involved in the bender said Daddy Warbucks Sheen broke out his checkbook during a conversation with a porn star in which he asked her to join the "porn family" he wants to create.

We're told Sheen in a showing of good faith, I mean "down payment", he wrote a $30,000 check made out to "cash" and told the KJ to take it to the bank the money was hers.

Obviously, she went straight to the bank and when she got their, the teller called Charlie AND one of Sheen's business associates to verify the transaction. Luckily for the porn star, it cleared.

Jordan, who is an adult "actress" and has sex for a living also revealed she's not on birth control, has never been on birth control,  and has no plans to begin using birth control.

Kacey also claims she spoke with Charlie on Valentine's Day, and to prove it, she called up Sheen's cell phone right in front of the paparazzi ... and even allowed the snappers to leave a voicemail for the actor.

Lindsay Lohan Going to Jail?

Lindsay Lohan just got the word from the judge that if she accepts a plea bargain, she WILL go to jail.

Judge Keith Schwartz Judge Schwartz did not say how much jail time Lindsay would do if she cops a plea. told the famous defendant bluntly, "I don't care that you're Lindsay Lohan." Judge Schwartz also wants a psychological evaluation that will help him understand what makes Lindsay tick and what particular sentence is appropriate.

The judge explained ... if Lindsay pleads guilty or no contest, it will be an automatic admission she violated her probation. Deputy D.A. Danette Meyers made a formal offer to settle the case.   Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Holley, will noodle over the offer before deciding, but the judge indicated Lindsay's probably not going to accept the D.A.'s offer.  As we reported, Meyers wants significant jail time.

If Lindsay doesn't accept a plea, she'll stand trial and if she's found guilty she could get 1 year in state prison. Lindsay is back in court on March 10.  She has the option of pleading guilty and basically throwing herself at the court's mercy.

Keyshia Cole Sexting Pictures Get Leaked

Soulful, soultry R&B singer is caught. Keyshia Cole naked pictures being sent to her fiance Daniel “Boobie” Gibson of the Cleveland Cavaliers, on text. Maybe the songstress should stick to calling, or maybe a simple I love you. Rather then baring it all in photos, and being exposed. I mean we understand your better half travels a lot, and you wanna keep his interest. But just because his name is Boobie. You don’t have to send him a picture of yours. Of course she is going to deny it either way, and true. Fully we will never know unless the rest of the pictures show her face.

LiLo and Judge to Broker a Plea Deal that will include Jail Time!

The judge who will determine Lindsay Lohan's fate in the probation and grand theft cases will be the middleman in plea negotiations today between Lindsay and the prosecutor, and sources connected with the case says the judge thinks Lindsay should do time.

Lindsay will appear today before Judge Keith L. Schwartz, and sources connected with the case say that during the hearing prosecutor Danette Meyers will present Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Holley, with a formal offer to plea bargain the case.

Sources tell us Meyers has already told Holley any deal will include significant jail time, but Lindsay steadfastly refuses to accept a plea that involves time behind bars.

Sources connected with the case tell us Judge Schwartz will propose that Lindsay accept jail time for the probation violation and three years felony probation for the grand theft case. But here's the BIG problem with that, if Lindsay gets in trouble during the probationary period, she'll go to state prison.

We're told Holley has not seen the surveillance video yet, but Meyers will present her with her very own CD tomorrow before the hearing. If Lindsay doesn't accept a plea, the judge will set a date for a preliminary hearing. The Plot Thickens!

Tony Parker Is Unfazed by Eva Longoria's New Romance

While it appears that Eva Longoria may be moving on with a new man, Eduardo Cruz, her ex-husband is unfazed by it. "She can do whatever she wants," Tony Parker said when asked about her new relationship. Seeing that Tony did whatever he wanted with whomever he wanted, why should he mind. In-fact Tony should be introducing her to all the "Real" men she wants. But I'm not biased or bitter at all! :)

Blake Griffin SLAM DUNK SCANDAL!!!!!!!!!!!

Blake Griffin is under attack from a fan who claims he gave the Clippers star the idea for the car-jumping alley-oop, he says he's been snubbed ever since this weekend's Dunk Contest.

The guy with the gripe is Michael Scrivner -- who claims he was watching ESPN earlier this month when he saw Griffin asking fans for dunk ideas ... so he fired off a twitter message to Blake on Feb. 8 specifically outlining the car dunk, complete with the pass from inside the sun roof.



Now, Scrivner is PISSED that Griffin hasn't given him any credit for the idea, "He could have at least given me a shout out!” (I once told LeBron he should play for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and never got credit for that, he at least coulda' said my name, or named a dunk after me!)

Scrivner adds, "If he already had the idea for the dunk, why go on SportsCenter asking for ideas? It would be one thing if I had said to just dunk over a car, but the dunk was spot on everything I suggested.”

So far, no comment from Griffin's camp.

Rosie O'Donnell Has Called it Quits with Girlfriend Tracy Kachtick-Anders

O'Donnell, a mother of four, said of their mixed bunch, "Tracy has six kids, she lives next door ... It's a lot! We're the Gay-dy Bunch! It's a challenge, but when you fall in love with someone, they come with a whole bunch of things, including children."

A source says, "They have definitely split up, but it is very complicated because their kids are very close. They still spend a lot of time together."

Prior to her most recent relationship, O'Donnell was married to former Nickelodeon executive Kelli Carpenter from 2004 to 2007, although O'Donnell waited until 2009 to go public with their split. O'Donnell and Carpenter have remained friendly co-parents for the sake of their four children, with the TV star saying of the breakup, "We're a family, we remain a family ... Kelli and I love each other very much, and we are working on our issues."

The 48-year-old comedian is reportedly seeking a similar level of civility in her split with Kachtick-Anders, who recently moved herself and her children into a new home.

Charlie Sheen Was Seen Back at Work with his new Victim, I Mean Girlfriend

Charlie Sheen's New Girlfriend AKA Cluless

Charlie Sheen was seen back at work with his new but anonymous girlfriend, AKA Crazy Fool! he must have found her under a rock, who in there right mind would call this man her boyfriend is beyond me, but what do I know.

Sheen couldn't keep his hands off the young blonde, but when asked what his girlfriend's name was, he replied, "None of your f*****g business."

During a recent interview with 'The Dan Patrick Show' last week, Sheen revealed he has a new woman in his life but he declined to reveal her identity. Sheen definitely has a lot of affection for the woman and was not shy about kissing the blonde between takes.

While it was unclear if Sheen was filming a new episode for 'Two and a Half Men,' it has been reported that it was a relatively small crew for the shoot and Sheen left to go back home after only fours hours of work.

Last week, 'Men' creator Chuck Lorre wrote on the traditional "vanity card" in the closing credits of the show, "If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really pissed".

Sheen was hospitalized last month after an apparent drug-fueled night of partying with porn stars. He had been released and is reportedly getting rehab treatment at home.

Sheen's ex, Denise Richards recently sat down with the ladies of 'The View' last week and opened up about discussing Sheen with her daughters and revealed his antics are anything but new.

"This is Charlie's lifestyle," Richards said when asked by Barbara Walters if her ex-husband's behavior surprised her. "He makes no bones about it ... and it is what it is." Wow and we thought she was the crazy one! Who knew?

Has Rihanna Been Sexting Colin Farrell?

Rihanna has been so charmed after meeting bad boy and notorious womanizer and true Hollywood Pimp Colin Farrell that she has been sending him raunchy text messages.

The singer and actor met on the UK TV chat show 'The Graham Norton Show' around Christmas last year and they exchanged phone numbers and have reportedly been 'sexting' shortly after that.

A source said that, "Colin was taken aback by some of the texts. He reckons he might well be in there. They're both single, so why not?"

It is reported that on the show, Farrell had complimented Rihanna's legs saying, "They are very nice limbs. There's probably a reason I mentioned them, I had to get them off my mind."

Later on in the show, Rihanna was talking about getting a wax treatment that left Farrell wide-eyed with excitement.

Farrell split last year from his girlfriend of over a year, Alicja Bachleda. They have a son, Henry Tadeusz, who was born last year. Farrell is also dad to a 7-year-old son, James, with model Kim Bordenave.

Rihanna also recently split from her baseball player beau, Matt Kemp and there have been rumors that she has been dating rapper Drake.

Rihanna turned 23 on Sunday and celebrated the big day in style with some very famous friends. Jay-Z, Zac Efron and Snoop Dogg. 'Cause it just ain't a party without the Dogg in da' house, you know what I'm sayin'...Probably Not! Her exclusive birthday bash held at a private home in Beverly Hills.

Blabber Mouths,  I mean "Sources" connected to Britney's video say, Spears netted a cool $500,000 for various product placements in her "Hold It Against Me" video.

The End of the World is Near Justin Bieber Just Cut His Hair!

It's the apocalypse for sure Justin Bieber got a haircut! O GOD THE Humanity. The Biebs got trimmed today while on the set of a music video for a song he did with Rascal Flatts.

Back in early January, Biebs expressed his desire to get a new look. "I think after my movie I might cut my hair a little shorter," the Biebs said.

Well he wasn't jokin' because today he tweeted, "thinking about getting a haircut....hmmmmmm." Then the 16-year-old went live on Big Brother, I mean...TMZ  and sent a photo showing him in the barber's chair while on set of his latest music video with the Rascal Flatts.

How much did he cut off? I have no idea, but I its kinda' cool ! It's still him, but he looks more like a shaved "Bieber" Ha....I kill me!. His facial features are definitely more...prominent. Eyebrows are visible! (That was gay but there is nothing wrong with gay I'm just saying I'm not but the statement I made was...YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!)

Maybe he's trying to shake that kid look now that he's "reportedly"got an older woman?

UPDATE: Justin is donating the proceeds to charity! He tweeted, "Yeah so it's true...I got a lil haircut...I like it...and we are giving all the hair cut to CHARITY to auction. Details coming soon." We have a sample already and have shipped it off to the mad scientist on a undisclosed Island of the Pacific, where they are cloning a race of "PTP's"  Pretty Talented People to take over the WORLD!

Apple Co-Founder and CEO Steve Jobs Seeking Radical Cancer Treatment?

Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs took medical leave from the company about a month ago. He has not disclosed why, but speculation has run rampant since.

Reports circulated this week that Jobs is seeking radical treatment for cancer at the Stanford Cancer Center in Palo Alto, Calif. Then these Steve Jobs pics leaked.

If it's really him. That is unclear. The National Enquirer claims it is and that Jobs has "six weeks to live"

The pictures of a "skeletal-looking" Steve, who was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer, an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, in 2004, are upsetting.

Radar Online did confirm, or claims to have confirmed that he is seeking cancer treatment. Regardless, he should keep up as many Apple duties as he is able.

"I will continue as CEO and be involved in strategic decisions," he said before stepping down. Whether this is him or not, we wish Jobs a speedy recovery. Jobs will attend a meeting with President Obama today along with chief executives from Google and Facebook.

Charlie Sheen Wants BOTH of his X-Wives Back In His Life

Pimpin' aint easy. Now the status of a TRUE PIMP is the man that is able to have all the women he sleeps with or Ho's out under one roof, living happily together. A "FAKE PIMP" is a man that has many girlfriends in different places and none of them probably know about each others existence. That's not a pimp but a coward. So "True Pimp" Charlie Sheen wants both Brooke Mueller AND Denise Richards back in his life ... and he's willing to drop millions of dollars on real estate to make it happen.

Charlie says, he's currently got his real estate agent on the job looking for two mansions in his exclusive Mulholland Estates neighborhood in L.A. one for Ho 1. Brooke and one for Ho 2. Denise. (That was rude, let's rephrase). One for Dumb B#@!...OK, I can't do this... My mother said if I can't say nothing nice, don't say nothing at all...

According to Charlie, he's willing to front the costs of the two houses, plus whatever moving expenses the women incur,  in the hopes that the four children he breed with his two exes might grow up closer to their father and all get to know each other. You sure he doesn't want to move to Utah?

So far, no word on whether Brooke and Denise are actually entertaining the prospective moving plans.

Charlie's Porn Pal Kacey Jordan Sends Text, 'I'm Pregnant!"

Charlie Sheen got a text messages from his porn star friend Kacey Jordan ... saying she's pregnant -- luckily for Charlie, (Only if he's a quick reader, before he passes out!) the message also said she doesn't think it's his.

TMZ (Yes they are EVERYWHERE), "obtained" the text message Kacey sent Charlie yesterday afternoon.  After tellin' the potential future Baby Daddy -- which must've floored Charlie -- Kacey continued, "I don't believe it's yours, but I'm going to Oregon to take care of the situation."

Kacey thinks Charlie is in the clear and he used protection, (Question: How do you protect yourself from a ho....Answer:  Don't F#@! with them!), but Kacey says both of them were so out of it she's not sure if it did the trick. Kacey plans to terminate the pregnancy in the next few days. (Ok my head is spinning!)

We're told Kacey never heard back from Charlie. I wonder why, was it because you just broke the "Ho-John Secrecy Pact" and told the whole world on National TV what allegedly went down. Or is it that you told him he "Might" be a Daddy! run Charlie as fast as you can, "Run Charlie, Runnnnnn!"

I am Number Four Star Alex Pettyfer and Glee Star Dianna Agron Split Over Some Risque Pictures

I Am Number Four" star Alex Pettyfer's ex-GF split with him over a photo shoot he did with two half-naked models (What's the big deal right? It's Hollywood, and that's what pretty people do, take half naked pictures of each other.). But here's the kicker! The shoot occurred MONTHS before they even started dating. Alex and Dianna started dating last August ... and he shot the pics over a year ago, back when he was freakin' single. Dianna's rep wouldn't comment on the story (You know why, 'cause she knows it's just plain stupid).

Sources (Those damn "talk-to-much" sources), close to the ex-couple say "Glee" star Dianna Agron ended the relationship soon after the pictures were released a couple weeks ago ... in which Alex appears barely clothed with models Lydia Hearst and Leven Rambin.

'Unknown' is No 1 at the Box Office and, 'I Am Number Four' is actually No. 2

"Unknown" easily topped the box office with a projected total of $21.7 million. That's only a little less than the $24 million opening Neeson's "Taken" enjoyed around this same time in 2008.

"I Am Number Four", the young-adult sci-fi flick -- which was set up to potentially be the first film in a new franchise -- may have underperformed its way out of a sequel. It landed in second place with $19.5 million, only a tad more than the amount earned by Gnomeo and Juliet. Meanwhile, news also broke over the weekend that Pettyfer and Dianna Agron, his girlfriend and "Four" co-star, have reportedly ended there relationship.

Gnomeo and Juliet The cartoon lawn ornaments, landed in third place with $19.4 million, only a moderate drop from its performance last weekend. The movie's total now sits at just over $50 million. Given the lack of family movies in theaters, this one should have some staying power, at least until "Rango" shows up in a couple of weeks.

"The King's Speech" In addition to its Best Picture front-runner status, "The King's Speech" also now has more than $100 million to its credit. It passed that box office milestone over the weekend, making it the fourth highest grossing best picture nominee -- behind "Toy Story 3," "Inception" and "True Grit," but ahead of "The Social Network" and "Black Swan."

"Just Go With It", "Is" Number 4. Adam Sandler plays a plastic surgeon on a weekend trip to Hawaii, and convinces his loyal assistant to pose as his soon-to-be-divorced wife in order to cover up a careless lie he told to his much-younger girlfriend.

"Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son", comes in 5th place. Now this might be "hard to believe", but Lawrence's latest got slammed by critics as well as moviegoers. It came in fifth place with $17 million, which may be $16.8 million more dollars than it deserved, but who's counting? Well we are, but you know what I mean. So lets check out the mathematics below. (That's slang for statistics!)

1. "Unknown" -- $21.7 million
2. "I Am Number Four" -- $19.5 million
3. "Gnomeo and Juliet" -- $19.4 million
4. "Just Go With It" -- $18.2 million
5. "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" -- $17 million

Happy Birthday Rihanna!

Sunday marks the 23rd birthday of singing star Rihanna. She has undergone a lot of changes in the past couples of years--from fashion ventures and summer music smashes to a well publicised brake-up and domestic attack.

Rihanna has changed dramatically since she entered the music scene. Once dressed as a sweet and somewhat demure new singer, she has crossed over to a Pop Fashion DIVA, that turns heads wherever she goes and in whatever publications she appears.

Music for Rihanna has evolved as her voice has gained richness since her inception into the music world. Whether soloing or performing with rap greats like Eminem, she holds her own and exudes a style that is powerful and trendy.

Rihanna will be performing at the NBA All-Star game half time show on Sunday to celebrate her 23rd birthday, a surprise guest feature is also slated on the same ticket, we will see what goes down tonight.

The Barbadian singer has certainly come many miles since being born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in 1988. Her 2010 hit album Loud is still climbing the charts and even more fabulous music is yet to come.

NBA SUPERSTAR KOBE BRYANT had his hand and footprints permanently enshrined at Hollywood's historic Grauman's Chinese Theater

Kobe Bryant became the first Athlete to get a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Due to the weather the event was held indoors (I thought It Never Rains in Southern California) The NBA all-star had his hand and footprints permanently enshrined at Hollywood's historic Grauman's Chinese Theater -- home to the world famous Walk of Fame.

Some of Hollywood's biggest stars in history have had this honor bestowed on them. Talk show hosts Jimmy Kimmel and George Lopez were both on hand for Saturday's ceremony, as were his wife and two daughters.

SEXY CLIPPERS ROOKIE Griffin Takes Home NBA ALL-STAR Slam Dunk Contest for 2K11

Blake Griffin leaped over a car and threw down a two-handed dunk to the accompaniment of a gospel choir, winning the slam dunk contest in iconic style before his hometown fans on All-Star Saturday.

The Los Angeles Clippers rookie caught a pass out of the sunroof from teammate Baron Davis and easily cleared the 2011 Kia Optima’s hood while the Crenshaw Select Choir sang “I Believe I Can Fly” at midcourt.

The inventive slam drove home the obvious point of the All-Star weekend’s silly Saturday: Griffin has both the raw athleticism and the showtime flair to be the NBA’s next big star.

Finalist Javale McGee of Washington and Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan didn’t stand a chance despite their own inventive dunks at Staples Center.

Justin Bieber Named MVP of 2011 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game

This kid really is everywhere, as you learned last night if you caught the NBA's sold-out All-Star Celebrity Game in Los Angeles.

Contributing eight points, two rebounds and four assists to his team (which lost), Justin Bieber ended up winning the title of Most Valuable Player by game's end,  which describes the "vertically challenged" pop star "bouncing with every step" as he "scampered" to the screams of girls in the stands. (I just threw up in my mouth!)

What was Bieber's secret to MVP glory? Recruiting his legion of loyal followers on Twitter to vote via text, and lock up the title for him. It certainly wasn't due to the 3-pointer he missed, a shot that would have tied the score with just 30 seconds left on the clock.

About his teammate, Rick Fox said, "He has the softest hair." The former Laker (and recent 'DWTS' dancer) reportedly patted Bieber on the head midway through the game. (Boy Crush or Creepy?)

Bieber's other Western Conference teammates included 'Chuck' star Zach Levi, Trey Songz, Romeo Miller and Lamar Odom's brother-in-law, Rob Kardashian. They were coached by Magic Johnson, with official assistance from Jimmy Kimmel and 'Modern Family' star Ty Burrell. Despite all that talent, the Eastern Conference won 54-49.
