There’s A New Queen In Town

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

 

Good morning one and all.  There is nothing like waking up in the morning, and seeing snow on top of your car.  Anywho, now onto the celebrity dirt and gossip.

 

Step aside Julia Roberts; there is a new queen in Hollywood.  That person is Reese Witherspoon, who will be paid 30 million dollars for her next movie.  Julia’s usual asking price is 20 million, + a backend deal.  Ha, backend deal. 

 

Paris Hilton is bringing out her claws.  This time, she is starting a feud with Charlize Theron.  Paris is currently taking acting classes, and her teacher is telling her that she is making great progress, and that she will be up against the same roles that Charlize Theron is up for.  So Paris, being Paris, sent a letter to Charlize, warning her that they will be up for the same roles, and that she should watch her back.  Good call Paris.  You rock.  I would love to see you in a movie that does not have night-vision in it.

 

Kate Moss’s Ex, Pete Dougherty has been arrested, Yet again.  The worst part is that he was on probation from a previous arrest for drug possession.  The rocker is now looking at some serious jail time. 

 

Brad and Angelina have registered at Tiffany’s for their impending summer wedding.  I think I will get them the gold-plated turkey boat for their tofurkey. 

 

Britney is still trying to convince us that she is not pregnant.  Today she was at the Fat Tuesday kickoff to Mardi gras riding on top of a float.  There are pictures of her looking pretty dang dumpy.

 

And finally. The word of the year in Hollywood?  Brokeback.  It is being said to be added to the new Webster’s Dictionary come October.

Drew’s Crew

Monday, February 27th, 2006

Good morning kiddies.  Onto the stuff that drives you guys here, the celebrity news and gossip.  Well that and my wit and charm.
 

So last night on the finale of Dancing With The Stars, Drew Lachey and his partner beat Jerry Rice.  How Jerry Rice beat out Stacey Keibler to come in second place is beyond me.  Drew and his partner have lined up some appearances on television, for the rest of the week.  Tonight they will be on Leno, tomorrow they will be on The View and The Tony Danza Show.
 

Speaking of television show appearances, everyone’s favorite hussies, Pussycat Dolls will be appearing on The Tyra Banks Show on Friday, and performing 2 songs.  My tivo is already set up to record those glorified strippers doing their hits.
 
You know I could not let a day go by without doing a Britney report.  So, her 52 year old cousin, Art Spears, is predicting that her marriage will end in marital doom. “I don’t think Britney and Kevin are going to stay together,” Art said. “Her son is her life and she will obviously do what ever is best for him - but does that involve Kevin? I don’t think so.”  Man do I love me some poor white trash. 
 

Next story, Eighties queen George Michaels got busted this weekend.  Michaels who is 42 years old, was arrested in London this past weekend for drug possession.  Wow he is terrific. 
 

The top 3 movies from the weekend were:
 

1 - Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion, $30.2 million
2 - Eight Below, $15.7 million
3 - The Pink Panther, $11.3 million
 

And finally, Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, is saying the Peas saved her life and her sanity.  Fergie said that she was homeless and hooked on crystal meth in the months leading up to her joining the super-group.  “Once you get into the drug world, you don’t realize how far you’re getting until you’re that far gone.”  Fergie told Blender magazine.”I had a conversation with God, basically. I don’t know how to interpret this, but he said, ‘I’ve given you this beautiful gift (singing) and you’re throwing it away.’”

An Idol alum coming out of the closet.

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

I hate to depress everyone on this beautiful Sunday but I do have 2 sad stories to report. First, one of my celebrity idols growing up and up to today, Don Knotts passed away. Knotts is best known for 2 roles, on the Andy Griffith Show as Barney Fife, for which he won 5 Emmy awards for. But more importantly he was Mr. Firley on 3’s Company. He was 81 when he died Friday morning, of pulmonary and respiratory complications at the UCLA Medical Center.

The second sad story, is one more of hope. Sheryl Crow was diagnosed with breast cancer this past week, and has started treatment. Crow has postponed her tour, promoting her new album. Crow, who is 44 years old said on her own web site, “I am joining the more than 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

OK, now with that out of the way, lets get to the fun celebrity gossip you all have known and come to love. Season 1 American Idol “star” Nikki McKibbin has officially come out of the closet, and is declaring herself a lipstick lesbian. She was recently at a Tiffany concert in LA, with her new girlfriend, fellow reality star Toni from Paradise Hotel. It is being said that the two of them were all over each other.

Kevin Federline and Jessica Simpson were spotted chatting at a club in LA. Kevin approached her at a table and she told him to sit down and chat. That has got to be a match made in heaven. I swear these two are totally meant for each other. Speaking of K-fed, it appears that he is getting a little bit of street-cred. He will be guest rapping on a track on the new album from The Game.

Tracy Morgan is placed on probation for his drunk driving arrest back in December 2005. How is it that celebrities get put on probation but us common folks get thrown in the slammer for drunk driving. Whatever.

And finally punkrock gods, the Sex Pistols have said no to an invitation to join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. How punk of them. They are definitely spitting in the face of mainstream.

The T-shirts are on the way.

Mango Scammed

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Mango Scammed!!!
 

Well slap me in a dress and call me Sally.  I have been had.  I sent two great reviews to www.idolfans.com, to an apparently non-existent web site.  So I will no longer be sending reviews that way.

Good afternoon all I know I reported this before, but Britney is either pushing the 2 bills range or preggers with her second little bun.  I would vote fat.  I guess only time will tell.  Britney is currently living in Hawaii recording her new album, far away from K-fed.
 

Super-cutie, Patrick Dempsey, from Grey’s Anatomy, and more importantly the 80’s classic Can’t Buy My Love, is appearing on the Barbara Walters Oscar’s Special.  He is going to reveal that he is dyslexic, and he does not do any reading for pleasure because it is such a chore for him.  Also appearing on the special will be George Clooney and Mariah.
 The body of a paparazzo facing battery charges in an incident involving actress Reese Witherspoon has been positively identified by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. Coroners have confirmed the decomposed body they found in Brentwood, California, earlier this month was that of snapper Todd Kevin Wallace.The cause of death will be announced following toxicology tests.An issue for the 44-year-old photographer’s arrest was issued in December after he failed to show up for a bail hearing, relating to charges in the Witherspoon incident.
 

Last night was the first elimination round of American Idol, where we lost 2 guys and 2 girls.  I agreed with all 4 of the eliminations.  Eliminated were:
 Becky O’Donohue – Who sang “Because The Night” and posed for Maxim two years ago, which I reported yesterday.
 

Opera Girl Stevie Scott – Who sang “To Where You Are”
 Bobby Bennett – Who sang “Copa Cabana” and might just be the gayest thing on AI since Gayken.
 

And Patrick Hall – Who sang “Come To My Window” which is a total chick’s song.
 Uber Rockstar Bono was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. 
 

2 more stories to report.  Madonna is touring this summer, but she is not going to the big venues.  Instead she will be playing intimate dance clubs, going back to her roots.  One of the stops on her tour will be Webster Hall in New York City.
 And finally, The New York Daily News is reporting that Lindsay Lohan and her family are relaxing in the Turks and Caicos Islands.  The 19 year old is staying at the home of Bruce Willis, thogh the tabloid insists that she’s friends with his daughter Rumor, and not after Bruce.  Dina and the kdidies are staying a the Beaches Resort and Spa.

Love American Idol Style

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

And away we go.  Love seems to be blossoming on the set of American Idol.  Kelly Pickler the French Tickler (copyright Mangoout.com 2006) is apparently dating Super-cutie Ace. 

Speaking of American Idol, current contestant Becky O’Donohue and her twin sister Jessie posed for Maxim magazine.  They posed 2 years ago, scantily clad in bathing suits and baseball jerseys unbuttoned.  Idol producers have not commented on the situation yet, or if they Becky will be excused from the show, ala Frenchie Davis, who posed topless 3 years ago.

Still speaking of American Idol, it appears that nothing can stop this show.  It’s ratings for Tuesday’s girl’s performance night were 30 million people.  The Olympics only were watched by less than 11 million people.

Onto other celebrity news, Howard Stern is starting his own film festival.  The self-proclaimed KING OF ALL MEDIA, is asking viewers to submit their own 5 minute or less videos, with the winners being shown on In Demand.  I am considering getting the old beta camcorder out and filming a little short.
 

Last week I mentioned about the Kid Rock / Scott Stapp adult movie that is circulating around the internet.  Rap-rocker Kid Rock has won a temporary ban on the distribution of an explicit sex tape, which features the star and fellow singer Scott Stapp engaging in sexual activities with four women.  Last week distribution company Red Light District announced plans to release the raunchy video, which features Rock,whose real name is Bob  Ritchie, and former Creed frontman Stapp talking while indulging in sexual acts with several ladies on a tour bus in Miami, Florida, in 1999.  I just don’t get it.  To quote David Spade from SNL, “Look Kids 2 Falling Stars”
 

This is a summer tour I would definetly wait in line to see.  It appears that the Red Hot Chili Peppers will be touring together this summer with Kayne West.  That would be one Red Hot ticket.  Sorry kiddies, I could not resist.
 

Straight from The National Enquirer, Nick Lachey and Joe Simpson were dining at the same restarunt in Santa Monica.  Joe walked up to Nick and said, “Over half of my dead body will you get half of Jessica’s money.”  Nick’s response?  “We will see old man, we will see.”  I want these two to step into the ring for the next celebrity boxing, and have Nick beat that stupid earring out of Papa Joe.
 

Everyone’s favorite on-screen gay couple, Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger got very close while filming Brokeback Mountain.  How close you ask?  Well Heath and Michelle Williams asked Jake Gyllenhall to be the godfather of their new baby Matilda.  How cute is that.  So in a weird sort of way, these two will be linked together for life. 
 

And finally, there appears to be a new celebrity romance out there.  Now that Mischa Barton and Cisco Adler broke up, she ran into the waiting straight muscular arms of Jake Gyllenhall.  Very interesting.  Apparently after he got her number, he did the dance of joy, straight from Perfect Strangers.
 

That’s all for now kiddies.

Finally a Paris with class

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Wow, what a great episode of American Idol last night.  The 12 girls performed last night, the top 12 guys perform tonight, and on Thursday night the bottom 2 of each group get voted off.  I was totally blown away by two people.  Paris who did a great job on Midnight Train to Georgia and Kelly Picklar sung a Martina McBride song.  Both did great jobs.  You will be able to see a full review on www.idolfans.com later on today. 
 

So, onto the celebrity gossip.  Jessica Simpson is said to be furious with MTV.  She is saying that they fed her lines during “The Newlyweds” and that everything was scripted.  OK, and I am 7 feet tall and famous, well somewhat famous.  If that is true, Jessica is the greatest actress since Betty Davis. 
 

Here are the top 5 movies from the past weekend.
 

1) Eight Below
2) Date Movie
3) Pink Panther
4) Curious George
5) Final Destination 3
 

Jake Gyllenhall is giving you the shirt off his back for a worthy cause.  The checkered shirt that Jake wore during the filming of Brokeback Mountain was auctioned off on Ebay.  The winning bid was 101,000.00 and the procedes will go to Variety, a children’s charity based out of Southern California. 
 
Lindsay Lohan no longer wants to be called a teen queen.  Lindsay wants to be taken seriously as an actress, and is comparing herself to Scarlett Johanson, who is only 2 years older than her, and says that Scarlett has street cred.  See Lindsay if you stopped doing teeny-bopper movies, maybe that would help shred that teen queen image. 
 

And finally, The Dunk, Brian Dunkelman, the origional co-host of AI, has a new gig.  No he is not a host at TGIF’s in Anaheim, he is now hosting a web based show, called www.idolgohome.com, where they take bets on which Idol contestant will leave the show, for glamorous prizes.

Get your dialing fingers ready

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

As I write this, I am sitting in my apartment on a much needed day off to just do nothing, and chill, and catch up on this site. And away we go.

First, I want everyone to get their dialing fingers ready, for tomorrow night is the first night of voting for American Idol. I will be writing a full review for MangoOut.com and Idolfans.com tomorrow night after the episode. The ball is rolling kiddies. Eventually I will leave these menial corporate jobs behind me, and work on the multi-conglomerate that is knows as MangoOut.com

Given I have not reported MangoOut.com in a couple of days; I have lots of news to report. First off, there is another new celebrity sex tape out there on the Internet. This one features Kid Rock and Scott Stapp from Creed. They filmed themselves and each other having “relations” with multiple groupies backstage and on their tour bus. Man, do I love stupid celebrities.

Nick Lachey is seeking spousal support from Jessica Simpson. Lachey who is 32 is seeking Lachey miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects, as well as a share of Simpson’s earnings from after the point of separation and other assets. I have to applaud the gent for doing this. I find it to a brave move and a step forward for men everywhere.

TomKat is threatening to sue Life and Style Magazine for reporting that they have split. Apparently their love is true and the real thing. TomKat better not sue MangoOut.com as well. I don’t think he wants that can of worms opened.

Richard Bright, who starred in all 3 Godfather movies, and multiple episodes of The Sopranos, was killed yesterday in NYC. Bright who played Al Pacino’s bodyguard in the movies, was hit by the back wheel of a bus and dragged along the street after the driver failed to notice he had hit him. He was 66 years old.

Today in my apartment, I caught up on some reading, including the People Magazine with Brit-Brit on the cover. Man she is whack. Here is my favorite quote from the article. “I’ll sing him ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb.’ And I make up stuff. I found out after the baby that I can sing! When I was little, I would listen to myself. But the record label signs you, and you’re just thankful to get a hit song. You can’t really show off your voice and where you came from.” Gotcha Britney.

2 more stories to report. Kylie Minogue is set to tie the knot down under. In Australia people, get your minds out of the gutter. She is getting married in Australia. Man do I go great lengths for an innuendo.

And finally, 2 of America’s favorite Gays are going to appear on America’s favorite gay show. In May sweeps, Jake Gyllenhall and Heath Ledger will appear on an episode of Will and Grace. They will appear as 2 lovers who are interested in buying Will and Grace’s apartment. First Britney now the Brokeback Boys. Man Will and Grace will do anything to go out with big ratings.

Don’t forget to vote tomorrow night.

Paris Gets Floured

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

I am sorry about not having an update yesterday; I was busy fielding phone calls from Deniro, Pacino, and so on and so forth.  Oh that old gag.  Onto the gossip…

In what has to be my favorite story of the month, Paris Hilton was floured.  Paris Hilton was in a runway show in Europe, wearing fur, and members of PETA snuck into the audience of the show, and threw 5 5-pound bags of flour on her.  How great is that.  Paris ran backstage in tears, and is contemplating legal actions against the PETA people.  I will post pictures of the incident later on today or tomorrow.

Last week Madonna was in the hospital for the removal of a hernia.  Apparently, Madonna twisted and turned her body so much at the Grammy Awards, she went and gave herself a hernia.  Ha.  I guess Madonna can not get into the groove anymore.

Speaking Of Madonna.  On February 25th, she will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the TRL Awards.  I think they there are now officially too many damn award shows on the tele.  What’s Next?  An awards show featuring the best dumps of the year?

Brit-Brit will be making a trip down to her native Louisiana for Mardi Gras.  Britney will be appearing on the Good Morning America telecast from New Orleans on Fat Tuesday, which is the kickoff to Mardi Gras.  “I am honored to be a part of the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans this year,” Spears said in a statement released Monday. “It is so important for this amazing city to continue its annual traditions and I am really looking forward to being involved.”   Man do I love me some Britney.
 

TomKat are denying any breakups.  I am so over the drama known as TomKat.  To me they are already through.
 

Long Live AI.  Here are the top 5 shows from last week

1)   American Idol (Tuesday)
2)   American Idol (Wednesday)
3)   CSI
4)   Grey’s Anatomy
5)   Desperate Housewives
 

And finally, That 90210 hoserag, Shannon Doherty was involved in a car accident yesterday.  Doherty was driving in Malibu CA, when she rearended another car.  Police said that she made a left turn onto Pacific Coast Highway and then her Rover hit a mustang driven by James Warren Paul.  Paul was taken to the hospital where he is mending a broken leg and back spasams.  Paul said that he was contimplating a lawsuit against Brenda Walsh.

Secondly, and maybe more importantly, Life and Style magazine is reporting that TomKat are no more.  Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are split up, with Tom getting possession of the unborn fetus, and Katie’s soul.

Lo-Skank in full effect

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Good morning one and all and a Happy V-Day.  And by V, I mean venereal disease not Valentine’s Day.  Oh that old gag, now onto the celebrity news.

My first story, Lindsay Lohan has a new boyfriend in her life.  Man that girl is getting passed around more than a fruitcake in my family during the holiday season.  It is now being reported that Lindsay is dating depressed alt-rocker Ryan Adams.  The two have been inseparable for about a month.  She is even staying at his NYC loft in Soho.

Television’s The Incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno is now an official LA Deputy.  The 53 year old, who is legally deaf, will have an annual salary of 1 dollar.  He will not be out on the streets; instead he will work in the recruitment and training end.  Good for him.  Thank god some 70’s icons are turning out to be successful, unlike Leif Garrett.
 

Here are the top 5 movies from the weekend. 

1)   The Pink Panther
2)   Final Destination 3
3)   Curious George
4)   Firewall
5)   When a Stranger Calls
 
It is now being reported that Kayne West will do the theme song for this summer’s MI 3.  Tom Cruise went to a pre-grammy concert put on by West, and Cruise was blown away.  Please save all gay jokes for later.
 

  Alright 2 more stories to report this beautiful morning.  This cat is always good for a nice laugh.  Scott Stapp was arrested in LAX.  Stapp was with his new bride, and about to board a plane to go on their honeymoon, when he was arrested for public drunkeness.  Stapp was not allowed to board the plane, and instead was held in custidy and later released on $2500 bail.  Man Scott Stapp has more issues than Us Weekly.
 
 

And finally, as an official card-carrying member of Team Lachey, I am happy to report that he recently signed a development deal with MTV to star in his own reality show.  The show will follow Lachey as he is doing promotions for his new album, and re-enters the dating world.  Man I will be glued to my television for that.
 
In closing, MangoOut.com is officially getting bigger and bigger.  I called the magazine I use to work for to inquire about my tax information.  In talk they asked what I am up to, when I mentioned MangoOut.com, the person laughed, and said they could totally see me doing that.  Well word circelled around that office, and the amount of visitors to my site, almost doubeled in a period of 4 hours.
