Comeback Planned for Babysitters' Club [Dec. 31st, 2009|12:17 am]

[la_petite_singe]
This had better count as celeb news:


Taking a page from Broadway and George Lucas, Scholastic Inc., the children’s book publisher, is trying for a revival — with a prequel attached.

In April the company plans to reissue repackaged and slightly revised versions of the first two volumes in one of its most successful series, “The Baby-Sitters Club,” in the hopes of igniting enthusiasm in a new generation of readers. And just as Mr. Lucas brought “Star Wars” back with a whole new arc of stories that began before the original series, Scholastic is publishing a newly written prequel, “The Summer Before,” by Ann M. Martin, the original author of “The Baby-Sitters Club” books.

The move follows Scholastic’s 2008 resuscitation of “Goosebumps,” another of its most popular series. For now Scholastic and Ms. Martin only have plans for the one prequel, although the publisher will release three more reissues of the original series later next year.

It's just a small...little...American flag thing. )

Wait, she didn't write all of them?! MY CHILDHOOD IS A LIE. But anyway, admit it: who else read 'em?

Jersey Shore's Snooki to Boycotters: "F*** You!" [Dec. 30th, 2009|10:39 pm]

Apparently, Jersey Shore star Nicole Polizzi (a.k.a. "Snooki") isn't worried about those negative stereotypes.

When Steppin' Out magazine asked her what she would say to all the companies -- including Domino's and Dell -- who have pulled advertising from the controversial MTV reality show about Italian-American 20-something "guidos," she had a simple reply.

"I just have one thing to say to Domino's, Dell, UNICO and all the other haters out there," she yelled. "Fuck you! If you don't want to watch, don't watch. Just shut the hell up! I'm serious... Fuck you!"

UNICO, the Italian-American organization that first claimed the show perpetuates negative stereotypes, has no plans to stop pressuring sponsors to boycott the series.

"She is not an embarrassment to Italian Americans -- she is actually an embarrassment to the entire human race!!!!" UNICO said in a statement.

Italian-American civic groups and advertisers aren't the only ones bashing MTV's series. Even the New Jersey beach town that is home to the series said this week that it doesn't "solicit" or "promote" the filming of Jersey Shore.

Grammy-nominated and Billboard Music Award–winning soulful R&B singing sensation Mario has been climbing the charts with his new album, D.N.A., and now he is stepping up to do his part for animals by posing for our provocative "Ink, Not Mink" campaign. The multitalented Baltimore native exposes his "Soul Truth" tattoo and encourages his fans to "[b]e comfortable in your own skin, and let animals keep theirs," with this sexy ad.

Behind the scenes at the photo shoot, Mario talks about learning the ugly truth about cruelty in fashion and why he chooses not to wear any fur. "Every piece of fur that you see out there and people wearing, there's an animal [who's] lost ... his or her life." This realization prompted him not just to give up wearing fur but also to pass up opportunities to profit from the suffering of animals. In the video, he tells us, "I've been offered deals to wear fur ... for tour and for stage." But Mario proves with this ad that he'd rather go shirtless than steal the skin of a beautiful animal. Find out what else Mario had to say on The PETA Files.

Beyonces’ Mom Likes Reading Gossip About Her Daughter [Dec. 30th, 2009|10:30 pm]

Beyonce Knowles‘ mother “gets a kick” out of reading gossip about her daughter.

The Sweet Dreams singer has revealed her mother Tina is obsessed with racy tabloid magazines, often buying up to 20 at a time while Beyonce stands next to her “praying” no one will see her.

“You know what? My mother loves to read celeb magazines, especially the racy tabloids!” said the star. “I can’t believe it sometimes. She’ll go to this magazine store in New York and buy 20 magazines while I’m standing next to her.

“I’m just praying nobody recognizes me while my mom is stacking up those magazines! But she loves reading the gossip about celebs and movie stars.

“I tell her a lot of the stuff isn’t true, but she says she gets a kick out of reading all the nonsense that gets printed, even about me!


Even though Tina — who filed for divorce from Beyonce’s father Matthew this month — likes to laugh about the false stories written about her daughter, Beyonce couldn’t cope without her, particularly when she is on tour.

“My mom and my cousin are the leaders of my entourage,” she said. “They’re with me to help me stay grounded and relax and avoid going out on the town, which is something I rarely do anyway.”

one female rapper throws shade at another [Dec. 30th, 2009|11:07 pm]

It looks like there is some jealousy brewing between Chicago rapper Kid Sister and Miss Harajuku Barbie herself, Nicki Minaj. In a recent interview, Kid Sister questioned if Minaj was even worthy of the buzz she's receiving. "I think Nicki Minaj is awesome," she started. "She has a cute little look but my thing is, do people take her seriously? I'm not being funny. I'm just asking a question. That whole thing like, 'I want more cheese, lots and lots of cheese' -- do people make fun of her?"

Kid Sister shot to fame with her single 'Pro Nails' featuring Kanye West and may be climbing her way up the pop culture ladder but declared that she is in a better position than Minaj. "Do I have it harder? No, I think I have it easier,"
the 29-year-old femcee continued. "Harder in the sense that maybe the pop world doesn't know how to interpret me, but easier in the sense that I know my music comes from me and it's a clear and perfect projection of everything I am. It's not only because I have control, but it's because that's the only music that can comfort me. I don't know how to be anyone else. I can only really speak to myself and my own experiences, so if that means I'm talking about playing some dude bogus or f---ing it up at a party, that's literally the life that I live."

This isn't the first time that Minaj has been thrown shade by other female emcees. Youngster Lil Mama also weighed in on the Queens-bred rapper's sexed up persona. "What she represents, I don't represent," Mama said in an interview. "As the voice of the young people, Lil Mama, I focus on bringing up young girls to respect their bodies, respect [themselves] do it up."

Criticism aside, Minaj is undoubtedly one of the hottest female rappers on the scene. Besides appearing on tracks with Usher, Robin Thicke and Mariah Carey, she is also a member of Lil Wayne's Young Money Crew. The group released their compilation album 'We Are Young Money,' earlier this month.

I love Kid Sis but I'm tired of female rappers constantly going after one another. Why can't we all just get along, goddammit?

TIGER WOODS IN SEX REHAB? [Dec. 30th, 2009|04:41 pm]

Is Tiger Woods in rehab for sex addiction? A report by the news agency X-17 claims Woods checked into an Arizona rehab facility earlier this week

The Meadows Clinic, near Phoenix, was identified as one of the rehab facilities where Woods could be. It has lush grounds, featuring a pool surrounded by palm trees, and costs $4,000 a night.

Former patients reportedly include supermodel Kate Moss, who was treated for cocaine addiction, and radio commentator Rush Limbaugh, who was treated for painkiller addiction.

INSIDE EDITION interviewed the clinic's former director, Dr. Patrick Carnes, in 1997 about treating sex addiction.

"The most important piece in this is for them first to acknowledge that there is a problem and to understand what the nature of it is," he said.

Meanwhile, December 30th is Woods's 34th birthday, and his wife Elin, who returned to Sweden with their two children, turns 30 on New Year's Day.

Tavern on the Green, one of the most famous sites in New York City and once one of the nation's top grossing restaurants, will close its doors on December 31, 2009.
Located in Central Park and 67th Street, it was originally a sheephold for the nearby Sheep Meadow. Converted to a restaurant in the 1930's. it gained international fame with its 1976 re-opening at one point becoming the second highest grossing restaurant in the U.S.
Since then it's been the scene of Broadway opening parties, movie premieres and has been featured in films like "Wall Street" and "Ghostbusters" among others.
The City of New York declined to renew its operating license in August 2009 and shortly after Tavern filed for Chapter 11 protection.
Besides its glass framed dining and function rooms, the Tavern is well known for its outdoor space with horticultural figures and its entrance lined with yellow cabs and horsedrawn carriages.

And Another! Australian musician Rowland S. Howard dies. [Dec. 31st, 2009|11:28 am]

Australian musician Rowland S. Howard - the guitarist in Nick Cave's cult punk-era bands The Boys Next Door and The Birthday Party - died yesterday at the Austin Hospital from liver cancer. He was 50.
Howard wrote the 1979 cult hit Shivers for The Boys Next Door. He then played with Cave in The Birthday Party until the influential band split in 1983 amid turmoil and drug abuse.
Long-time friend and Birthday Party bandmate Mick Harvey, who played drums on Howard's newest, critically acclaimed solo album Pop Crimes, said Howard did not want to die.
''Sometimes people are ready to go because they have been sick for a long time, but Rowland really wanted to live.
''Things were going well for him outside of his health and he wanted to take advantage of that and he was very disappointed that he wasn't well enough to do so.''
