Next time you’re struggling to make conversation, try asking this question: “If you could invite anyone (living or dead) to the perfect house party, who would it be?”
Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
Marina and The Diamonds are working on some new music, but Marina is being very secretive about it. Although the release has been delayed, she let’s us in on some secrets about the new album, and how alcohol changed her life.
London coroner Suzanne Greenaway has finally revealed Amy Winehouse was 4.5 over the legal alcohol level when her body was found at home in July.
Amy’s parents have released a statement saying “It is some relief to finally find out what happened to Amy…It underlines how important our work with the Amy Winehouse Foundation is to us, to help as many young people and children as we can in her name.”
The foundation was set up by the Winehouses in their daughter’s memory to help young people dealing with addiction.
The singer had been battled substance abuse for many years before she died at the age of 27.
If you’ve got a bad case of the Mondays and want a little pep to your morning, nibble on some vodka gummy bears! Or not.
There’s been reports of high school students using the candy to get drunk according to a California school board. This dangerously delicious trend is surfacing all over North America.
“It’s kind of scary, because I like gummy bears, and I’m kind of scared because it’s something you have to really keep an eye on,” one student said in an interview.
While it’s understandable most parents and teachers want to prevent underage drinking, it’s cruel to forbid or ban one type of candy for the whole school.
Okay, we all know teens today love to drink and can do mean keg stands. But not every student has the intention of getting drunk before math class on these vodka bears. I’m sure Katy Perry’s gummy bear ring, seen above, is completely sober! Lay off the paranoia, folks, we’ve got bigger issues to deal with (you know, like learning to read and write!).
Amy Winehouse’s family have revealed the toxicology report from her death. It proves that Amy wasn’t on any drugs when she died, but she had been drinking.
TMZ reports they have not determined if alcohol played a role in her death.
This is understandably shocking as it was common knowledge that Amy had a drug problem, and everyone assumed drugs played a role in her death.
Amy Winehouse’s family believes that the singer might have died from alcohol withdrawal. The singer was advised by a doctor to cut back her alcohol consumption, and in the last three weeks of her life, she cut alcohol out completely.
People reports that doctors recommended a gradual cutback, and not to quit cold turkey. A friend of the Winehouse family told the Sun, “Abstinence gave her body such a fright they thought it was eventually the cause of her death,” said the source. People has confirmed that this is the family’s belief.
The autopsy came back inconclusive. It will take some time to learn how exactly Amy died. However, a very valuable lesson for anybody trying to quit drinking.
Lil’ Wayne used to be the ultimate partier – booze, drugs, you name it he had it. However Weezy’s probation forbids him access to these substances, which means a dry backstage during his tour.
A source from the tour tells TMZ that the “I Am Still Music” tour will have a “dry backstage as we are committed to keeping a safe and professional atmosphere to ensure a smoothly running tour.” This is only for backstage areas, and regular fans are free to do as they wish in general areas.
Expect this policy to last until 2013, which is the length of his probation. However this hasn’t affected his performance. He just dropped another mixtape recently and it’s amazing.
More details have been revealed following the news of Ryan Dunn’s death on June 20 following a car accident early in the morning.
The Jackass star, who had a high blood alcohol level of .196 when he crashed his Porsche in rural Pennsylvania, was driving at least 130 miles an hour.
According to a toxicology report released by West Gosh Township Police Wednesday, Dunn, 34, was driving drunk when he and passenger Zachary Hartwell passed away in the crash. Dunn’s blood-alcohol level, which was one-fifth of his total blood supply, was twice the legal limit for Pennsylvania drivers.
Dunn’s Jackass pal and co-star Bam Margera, visited the crash site on Tuesday and broke into tears when he spoke to a news a crew.
“I’ve never lost anybody that I care about,” Margera, 31, said. “And it’s my best friend.”
“He was the happiest person ever,” Margera continued. “He was the smartest guy. He had so much talent. He had so many things going for him. It’s just not right.”
Ryan Dunn was always one of my favourites from the Jackass series. It’s unfortunate he had to die this way. May he rest in peace and may all of us take this as a lesson to not drink and drive in the future.
MTV has canceled the controversial teen drama ‘Skins,’ reports CTV.
The show won’t be back for another season, so says the network, because it “didn’t connect with a U.S. audience as much as we had hoped,” MTV spokesman Nathaniel Brown says.
The short-lived show received heavy criticism for its racy nature and use of drug, alcohol and sex that were prominent on the show. Many groups felt the young actors violated child pornography laws and advertisers began pulling their commercials from the series.
‘Skins’ premiered in January as an American version of the British hit, but an initial audience of 3.3 million viewers sank to 1.2 million viewers for the season finale.
Another one bites the dust – will you miss it? I never got into the show, but I heard that the American version was never as good as the British series.
Whitney Houston is set to return to the big screen for the first time in 15 years, reports CTV.
The 47-year-old singer-and-actress will be reuniting with her former ‘Waiting To Exhale’ castmates to create a sequel to the 1995 hit movie, in which she played unlucky-in-love television producer Savannah Jackson.
Actress Angela Bassett, who portrayed Bernadine Harris in the film, explained director Forest Whitaker is in the process of altering author-and-screenwriter Terry McMillan’s follow-up to the movie.
“It’s preliminary, but it’s going to happen, ‘Waiting to Exhale 2′. McMillan wrote ‘Getting to Happy’ and she’s written the screenplay … Loretta Devine, Lela Rochon, Whitney, Forest. Forest is working on the script now.”
In others news, a representative for the superstar singer confirmed today that Houston is undergoing treatment. Kristen Foster says Houston is in an out-patient program for drug and alcohol treatment. She says it is a voluntary measure and part of Houston’s “long-standing” recovery process.
Houston has battled problems with drug addiction for years. But in 2009, as she released a comeback album, she declared herself healthy and clean.
However, her 2010 tour overseas was trouble. Houston cancelled some dates due to illness and received negative reviews from fans who were disappointed in the quality of her voice and performance.
It’s unclear how long Houston will be in rehab or where she’s being treated. But before she takes on the stress of doing huge films, it’s good she clears her mind and focuses on herself first.
Tallulah Belle Willis, the 17-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, has been arrested for underage possession, reports TMZ.
Law enforcement sources say cops spotted three girls getting out of a car in Hollywood at around 11:00 PM, carrying what appeared to be two bottles of alcohol. The officers probed further and determined it was indeed alcohol. Problem is, all three girls are underage.
Tallulah Belle and her friends were then cited at the scene for underage possession, but since Tallulah Belle is a minor, cops couldn’t just release her. They needed to find an adult to pick her up, so Tallulah Belle called Bruce , where Demi ended up picking her up. I bet she wasn’t happy.
Tallulah has appeared in “The Scarlet Letter” and “The Whole Ten Yards,” and seems to be well on her way to the troubled path of many other child actors. Just kidding, all youngsters go through a partying stage, so hopefully hers is short-lived and doesn’t continue on into her twenties (A-la-Lohan.) Bruce and Demi seem like cool parents, so I’m sure Tallulah will get a good talking to and smarten up.
Britney Spears is taking the healthy route for her upcoming tour, reports The Sun.
The pop singer has reportedly given caterers strict instructions not to make any junk food because she’s not allowed it. That means no hot dogs, pizza and cookie dough ice cream, which have all been blacklisted. No beer or any alcohol either.
Spears has also requested that Micheal Jackson songs be played constantly in her dressing rooms. She has stockpiled his tour DVDs and enlisted the help of his dance team to recreate his routines.
A mini gym is also being transported to each show, as well as humidifiers, which Britney heard Beyonce uses to protect her voice.
This list of demands doesn’t seem too outrageous. Healthy living, upbeat music, gyms – all seem like good things. But why does someone who lip-synchs need humidifiers for their voice? Does this mean Spears will actually be singing this time around?
Spears is currently preparing for her summer tour with Nicki Minaj, and tickets begin to go on sale April 30.
AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys (the one who was usually singing) is in rehab due to substance abuse. As reported by TMZ.com, the singer has been “out of control” in the last few months.
Washup teen bands, The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block were apparently supposed to team up for a tour, but McLean’s drug addiction has put a hold on the plans.
McLean has been dealing with drug problems for many years. In 2001 and 2002 he was in rehab for cocaine and alcohol abuse. The musician is beginning another sober journey. Hopefully this time he will reach enlightenment. Often times these celebrities who receive early success find trouble maintaining their lives without drugs and alcohol. It’s a deadly cycle we have seen regularly.
Perhaps McLean can seek guidance from recently released from rehab Lindsay Lohan.
After 90 days in the Betty Ford Center, Lindsay Lohan is finally free once more!
Popeater is reporting that Lindsay’s parents, Dina and Michael Lohan, are incredibly proud of their daughter and firmly believe that she has taken huge steps toward getting fully healthy once more.
“She’s just a different person,” Dina explained in an interview with Matt Lauer. “Shes been in a couple facilities, but this one, to me, has really changed her.”
In a separate interview with the Early Show, Michael echoed Dina’s sentiments. “She has taken the right steps and put the right people back into her life,” he gushed.
Lindsay’s parents have had a history of public feuding, especially over what is best for Lindsay, so it’s nice to see them agree about something for once!
Lohan is expected to stay in LA to work on her clothing line rather than return to her Long Island home. She has no upcoming film projects after dropping out of what was supposed to be her comeback vehicle, a Linda Lovelace biopic titled “Inferno”, due to her time in jail and rehab.
Keep up the good work, Lindsay! You can get better! We believe in you!
But what do you think? Do you think she is doomed or will she make it this time?
We reported earlier that Lil Wayne will be on probation for the next three years of his life and must comply with the terms or face punishment.
Well, the terms of the probation were finalized and came into effect today. Among them, written in documents obtained by TMZ, it is stated that Weezy “may not consume or drink any substance containing alcohol.”
It sucks for him, considering that he’s planned a huge party for this weekend to celebrate his release from prison—including at least 48 confirmed bottles of bubbly. I guess his friends will just have to drink twice as much for him!
…Although those friends can’t have a criminal record. Another one of the terms of Lil Wayne’s probation makes it clear that the rapper can’t associate with any person who has a criminal record.
Alcohol or not, have fun Weezy!
It was only a matter of time, really…
Radar Online reports that Jersey Shore cast member Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi spent a night in a Miami hospital while shooting season 2 of the show. It seems that the star overindulged at popular hot spot ‘Dream,’ getting so intoxicated that the show’s producer’s had to carry her out of the club!
The most intriguing part? The medical incident didn’t make the cut into the show! MTV producers made the executive decision to leave Snooki’s drunken drama out of last week’s episode, opting instead to show Polizzi interrupting costar Jenni “J-WOWW” Farley and boyfriend Tom’s attempt at “smushing.”
Even Jersey Shore has its limits!
Snooki talked extensively about her troubles with drinking at a recent MTV press conference. In regards to receiving a drunk and disorderly charge on a Miami beach taping the same season of the show, she said “Obviously I like to party. I like to have a good time but maybe I’m overdoing it a little too much. So right now I’m just watching myself and I can have a good time not drinking.”
No drinking for Snooki? We definitely can’t picture the Shore cast forsaking a night of drunken partying for a stay-in sober Scrabble night! But it’s probably for the best…unless she’s snookin’ for a stomach pumping, Polizzi’s better off laying off the sauce for a little bit – even if it doesn’t make the best television.
TMZ is reporting that former ladywrestler Chyna was admitted to UCLA medical centre earlier today. Initially it was thought that she had alcohol poisoning, especially due to her complicated past with the substance, but it was later discovered that she overdosed on Benadryl.
Chyna took 4 to 5 times the suggested dosage of the allergy medicine to help her sleep last night. She woke up this morning unable to walk and with intense nausea.
It looks like the WWE star is going to be fine. She’s been put on an IV drip in the ER to rehydrate and will probably be released soon.
Chyna’s substance abuse problems came to light on Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab, where she openly admitted to having a severe alcohol dependency. Hopefully that addiction hasn’t been transferred over to Benadryl! That stuff can’t be good for you in high doses.
Maybe try some Sleepy time tea next time, Chyna Doll?
We hope he tastes as good as he looks!
Following in the footsteps of other hip hop artists like Ludacris and Diddy, rapper T.I. is reportedly going to make his own signature alcohol.
According to PerezHilton, T.I. is teaming up with Remy Martin to launch a T.I. blend of cognac. To add to the mix, Dr. Dre (who? Sorry, we “forgot about Dre”) is also set to release his own blends of cognac and sparkling vodka.
Celebrities are slowly taking over every aspect of the commercial world. What’s next, Lady Gaga lampshades?
Known for breaking girls’ hearts all over Laguna Beach (and his long-term relationship with co-star Lauren Conrad), Jason Wahler was quite the catch back in his day. Sadly, he’s most recently been caught by the police. And it’s not the first time.
The Laguna Beach/The Hills star has been sentenced to two days in jail and three months in an alcohol offender program for pleading guilty yesterday (May 3) to a DUI charge, reports PerezHilton.
Wahler was previously in jail and rehab for alcohol issues. You can relive some of that drama on The Hills (you know, back when it was good because LC was still on it).
Lindsay Lohan told British newspaper The Sun that her father, Michael Lohan, is the reason that she was introduced to cocaine.
“I was only aware of cocaine because of my dad. I was terrified of it. But I tried it because I was stubborn, stupid, and wanted to see what it was like. It’s not something I ever want to do again.”
Not only did Michael Lohan introduce his daughter to drugs, but he was the reason that she turned to them. When Lindsay’s father publicly spoke out about his rocky relationship with his daughter back in 2007, the young celebrity began to rely on cocaine and alcohol. Later in the year, Lindsay was admitted into rehab twice.
TMZ is reporting that Charlie Sheen’s wife Brooke Mueller has checked into rehab. Mueller has entered a drug and alcohol facility in North Carolina.
Last week it was reported Brooke was suffering from pneumonia. Apparently her immune system has become so weak due to substance abuse that she is very susceptible to infection.
Lohan’s attorney Shawn Chapman came out of the courtroom Monday morning announcing that Friday’s $50,000 warrant has been cleared. The judge ordered that the star must show proof that she is following the court orders so that it doesn’t happen again. E! news reports that Lohan spent most of her weekend hibernating in girlfriend Samantha Ronson’s Hollywood home. E! News also reports that Lohan will be enrolling in a new alcohol counseling program and is required to provide proof of enrollment in the new program by April 3.
