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.

The 46-year-old actor who coined the term “WINNING!” after his very public and psychotic breakdown early in 2011 claims he’s no longer winning in the crazy department.
Charlie Sheen, who got fired from his show “Two and a Half Men” after his public outburst towards the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, insists his crazy partying and drug-using days are over now.
“I’m not crazy anymore. That was an episode. I’m a different person than I was yesterday. Let’s just say I have a mellower plan,” he tells reporters.
The Killer Ma-Sheen says his next project is starring in the new t.v. show, “Anger Management”. Sheen will play a therapist and claims he’s researched the role quite a bit. The actor spent a year in anger management before so this new gig should be a breeze.
“Anger Management” will premiere on FX in the Spring.
British comedian and notorious Golden Globes host, Ricky Gervais has promised that when he returns to host this year, his jokes will not be toned down.
For what will be his third time hosting – he guarantees that the new material will not be censored or dull in an interview on NBC’s Today Show.
“What do I care if someone likes what I do or not? I just don’t anymore. If you get your own way, if you get final edit and enjoy what you’re doing and things turn out exactly as wanted them – what else is there?” When asked about criticism over those jokes about Charlie Sheen and Robert Downey Jr’s drug use, he replied: “I don’t know what I did wrong really, what did I say that was untrue? The controversy is irrelevant to me. That is people’s opinions outside my jokes.”
“I’ve never really succumbed to peer pressure. And this feeds into my humour. I deal in taboo subjects for that reason. Not only am I fascinated with them, but I like to take the audience to places that it hasn’t been before.”
Gervais continued: “The guy on stage is a lot brasher, more arrogant, more confident than me. I take a deep breath and go out with swagger … I might even really be drunk.”
On that note, Gervais declared that this will be his last year hosting. Be sure to tune in to the 69th Golden Globes live on January 15th. In the meantime, let’s look back at his previous gigs…
Ladies and Gentlemen, Ricky Gervais! Before Hollywood knew what was coming to them back at the 67th Golden Globes in 2010:
And here’s the most talked about – Ricky Gervais hosting the 68th Golden Globes last year:
Like every other year before, 2011 had a roster of idiotic celebrity moments. A lot of stories that broke this year had us scratching our heads and rolling our eyes as we begged “what the hell is going on?” We have counted down the ten craziest pop culture stories that deserve a major facepalm.
10. The show “Playboy Club” on NBC
This cheesy and poorly acted show starring Amber Heard and Dean Cain didn’t last more than three or so episodes on NBC. Thank God!
9. Actress sues IMDB over age
An actress going by the name “Jane Doe” sued internet movie database IMDB and its parent company Amazon.com for $1 million over revealing her real age (40). She claims her age is a liability in Hollywood (no kidding!).
8. Alec Baldwin kicked off plane over Words With Friends
The veteran actor of “30 Rock” says he was booted from an American Airlines flight last month because he refused to stop playing Words With Friends on his phone. The airline then went on to slam the actor in many reports. AA now knows the title for Stupidest Reason to Kick Somebody Off a Plane. Congratulations!
Last night Charlie must have been drunk tweeting again because he aired his personal phone number to the entire internet.
Perez Hilton posted a screen capture of the public tweet that was probably meant to be a private message.
Obviously, Charlie deleted the tweet after his publicist called to yell at him (I assume). Can you imagine the number of calls and even sexts the guy got last night? WINNING! Here at andPOP we tried giving the guy a ring but to no avail. I can’t blame him. Although, if I were him, I’d be really curious as to what kind of messages people leave in my inbox.
If you can recall, back in 2009 Charlie Sheen was arrested for assaulting his then-wife Brooke Mueller at a ski resort in Aspen, Colorado. Now, it seems Brooke’s been drinking Charlie’s “tiger blood” because she’s now been arrested in the same location.
The National Post is reporting the actor’s ex-wife was arrested over the weekend for assault and cocaine possession, or as Charlie calls it, “winning”.
The Aspen Police Department were notified by a woman that Brooke began attacking her. Brooke was found and arrested at a bar after midnight for the attack as well as cocaine possession. She posted bail at $11,000 bond but will show for a court hearing on December 19. Nothing says “happy holidays” like sucking on candy canes in prison.
Just in time for Halloween, a company called E-Poll conducted a survey to find out who gives America the creeps. The poll surveyed 1100 Americans and asked them to rate celebrities based on 100 different possible attributes. The following list indicates what percentage of the sample group checked off “creepy” for each celebrity.
1. Marilyn Manson..69%
2. Casey Anthony…57%
3. O.J. Simpson….56%
4. Spencer Prat….49%
5. Nadya Suleman…41%
6. Charlie Sheen…34%
7. Eliot Spitzer…34%
8. Woody Allen…..31%
9. Tim Burton……31%
10. Jesse James…..30%
Topping the list of creepy celebrities is a man who allegedly had a rib surgically removed in order to perform oral sex on himself (Marilyn Manson). Also on the list are two of America’s most famous accused murderers (Casey Anthony, O.J. Simpson) and a warlock from planet Awesome (Charlie Sheen). For the most part, the list is fairly predictable. The only real surprise is a neurotic film -maker who fell in love with his adopted daughter (Woody Allen). Perhaps that’s not as surprising as one may think.
Surprisingly, none of the cast members from Jersey Shore made the list. (Personally I thought The Situation was a shoe-in for the top spot.) None of the Guidos or Guidettes even broke the the top ten but somehow Eliot Spitzer has a strong hold on seventh spot.
In addition, the same survey also determined which celebrities have the most marketing potential. Of the top ten listed above, Spencer Pratt from The Hills and ‘Octomom’ Nadya Suleman proved to have the least marketing potential, demonstrating that America will gladly watch these idiots but probably wouldn’t purchase a product they endorse.
These statistics are pretty reassuring. Americans show they haven’t lost the ability to think rationally and I agree with them. I would never purchase anything from a psychopath with a frozen sperm fetish. Nor would I buy anything from a delusional moron still caught in a shame spiral after he and his Franken-Bride were last seen on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
Well done, America.
Some feedback from the web about Ashton Kutcher’s performance on Two and a Half Men and some comparison to Charlie Sheen.
The Character
“Kutcher’s new character, Walden Schmidt, seems like a carefully drawn alternate universe caricature of Charlie Harper. Foremost that beard — something Charlie would never have had. The klutzy gentle persona. The utter cluelessness, about women or other people’s motives. He stumbles into good fortune without even knowing — his billion; the women at the bar who were charmed by his destitution and loyalty to his ex. Mostly, he appears loyal to one woman — the woman who ditched him (played a bit later by Judy Greer.)” — Verne Day, Newsday
The Comparison
“Kutcher’s performance was good, nearly as poker-faced fine as Sheen’s was. (Beware of the impending revisionism that Kutcher is superior to Sheen as a comic actor — Sheen really had a knack for this gig, and was a generous reactor to Cryer. Kutcher will probably prove just as skilled.)” — Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly
The Long-Term
“Is there as much humor to be mined from a goofy, well-endowed billionaire as there was from a not-as-wealthy jingle writer who seemed to satisfy women just as easily? Early indicators suggest no, seeing as the sitcom already and quickly played the ‘Look, He Accidentally Bedded Two Hotties At Once While Alan Lay Weeping and [BLEEP]ing’ card.” — Matt Webb Mitovich, TVLine.com
The Final Word
“Kutcher showed for years on ‘That ’70s Show’ that the multi-camera sitcom format is an arena he can thrive in, and he seemed fine in his half of the episode. He’s not going to transform ‘Men’ into a show I want to watch, but he fit in very well.” — Alan Sepinwall, HitFix.com
Perhaps Charlie Sheen will have the last laugh. Charlie is apparently getting a huge payday from Warner Bros. worth $25 Million, but he will get many times that over the next 7-10 years.
TMZ reports the first $25 Million is for work already performed on the series and the profits that have already accrued.
However, the 180 episodes he did shoot are worth $100 million for the actor in syndication profits over the next 7-10 years.
Charlie – you are winning.
Charlie Sheen had a chat with Ashton Kutcher last night at the Emmys. Sheen also tweeted a pic of the two together.
Sheen posted a photo of their meeting backstage on his WhoSay account with the caption, “Giving the new kid a little advice..! With @aplusk backstage at the Emmy’s…” (@aplusk being Kutcher’s Twitter handle).
And in case you forgot, Two and a Half Men returns tonight on CBS.
In an interview airing today on Ellen, Jon Cryer explains that he thought Charlie Sheen was going to die.
“Mostly I was worried that Charlie was going to die,” Cryer says. “That was the big fear for me.”
“And that…that did not occur and I’m thrilled about that,” Cryer says.
Ellen DeGeneres asks a question, “Now when he said bad things about you, you were so gracious. You were great. You didn’t say anything back. Since then, he has apologized. Have you spoken to him since?”
“We have not spoken,” Cryer replies. “And I will accept an apology both public and private. But again, it was in the heat of the moment I imagine when he said…So I did not put a whole lot of credence in it at the time.”
CBS has released the new opening intro for Two and a Half Men, with Ashton Kutcher replacing Charlie Sheen.
As you can see below, the song hasn’t changed and they have the standard red curtain. The only real difference of course is the addition of Kutcher.
The show officially comes back on September 19. Do you think Ashton will be able to fill Charlie’s shoes?
Charlie Sheen was injured today while taking practice at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
TMZ reports Sheen ruptured the ulnar nerve in his elbow during batting practice. He can barely pick up the bat now.
With all that being said, injuring his ulnar nerve is probably the least of his medical problems.
Jon Cryer appeared on KTLA on Tuesday to discuss the death of Charlie Harper. He denies the character dies from a “meat explosion.”
“There is no meat explosion, just so you know; it’s not some entrée that ends disastrously,” Cryer said.
And in regards to his new costar Ashton Kutcher? ”They’ve managed to bring in Ashton in a really terrific way,” the Emmy-winner said (via The Hollywood Reporter). “I mean, Ashton just did the show on Friday and just tore the roof off the joint. He was amazing.”
Charlie Sheen is happy how the Charlie Harper character dies on Two and a Half Men.
As you may have heard, Harper dies by “tripping” on a subway platform in Paris and getting run over by a train, and blows up in a massive “meat explosion.” However, Sheen told TMZ thinks it’s a great end to the character.
“I am honored that it took something as large and violent as an oncoming train to terminate my character.”
He adds, “Anything less would have been an insult!”
Okay – the secret might be out about Charlie Harper’s death on Two and a Half Men. The crew at TMZ are claiming they have been tipped off on how it goes down.
During the last season, Charlie goes to Paris with friendly neighborhood stalker Rose. However during the trip, Rose finds Charlie in the shower with another woman.
During the funeral scene taped yesterday, Rose recounts the next day following the shower incident, where she and Charlie were waiting for a subway, and Charlie “tripped” onto the tracks, and the subway literally blew him apart in a “meat explosion.”
Of course, what really happened is Rose pushed him onto the tracks.
If this is indeed the ending, it’s just okay. We think there are much funnier endings to Charlie’s life.
Some new details are starting to arise about Two and a Half Men and Ashton Kutcher’s role. Ashton will be playing Internet billionaire Walden Schmidt, CBS executives told reports.
And you may wonder how the cast is adjusting to its newest member?
“When everybody walked on the set . . . you could cut the air with a knife,” CBS programming chief Nina Tassler said. Jon Cryer was the first one to speak.
“He gave a little speech,” Tassler said. “I can’t even remember the words. It was just something very touching. Then, when you hear that first actor mutter that first line, you breathe a sigh of relief.”
Hopefully everyone plays nicely and the show can continue its strong run. You can assure they will at least have an audience with all the hype over the show for the past year.
You can stop wondering – Charlie Harper from Two and a Half Men is dead.
Deadlline.com reports Harper’s funeral will take place on the September 19th debut of the season. The funeral will be attended by Charlie’s many girlfriends, and Charlie’s house is put up for sale, which attracts many real life celebrity buyers.
Ashton Kutcher’s character will likely buy the house and somehow Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones stay in the picture.
How do you think Charlie dies? We think it will be a massive orgy that somehow causes a heart attack.
With the L.A. Dodgers struggling to pay their bills, hardcore baseball fan Charlie Sheen sees the team’s struggling financial situation as an opportunity. Rumours are flying that Sheen is trying to put an investor group together to buy the franchise.
Sheen is no stranger to baseball, having played as a kid, and he also played a baseball player in Major League. The National Enquirer reports its Charlie’s lifelong dream to own a baseball team, and he is calling on his rich Hollywood buddies to come up with the cash.
No word if Charlie has found any of the money to buy the team, but he’s going to need a lot of help. Reports suggest Charlie has only $35 Million to his name, and he’s going to need a lot more to buy and operate the team.
Oh well, he can always try out for the team. As you can see below, the guy can crack it out of the park pretty good.
Charlie Sheen is not the man he use to be. He must be going through some type of mid-life crisis which might be causing his erratic behavior. Charlie’s former goddess Bree Olson is speaking up about Charlie’s sub par performance.
Bree apparently likes sex nineteen times a day, but Charlie was only able to give it up twice. “Charlie was a two-a-day kind of guy,” the Sun quoted her as saying.
“I’m insatiable when it comes to my sexual appetite – and I wasn’t used to having to share.” Bree is referring to the other goddess, Natalie Kenly.
Bree said: “Sometimes he’d do it once with me and once with her.
“Sometimes he would want both of the times to be with me – and when Natty found out she’d get upset.”
In the end, the tension and rivalry became too much and the weird relationship came to an end. However, Charlie should have taken a book from Hugh Hefner and tried Viagra. There is no shame in it, and it apparently can do wonders for older guys like Sheen.
Two and a Half Men is returning on September 19, and the show is getting ready with a new ad campaign featuring the naked stars.
The ad clearly shows the newly minted star Ashton Kutcher, and based on the expression of his co-star Jon Cryer, he seems well hung. Or perhaps the expression is because he has nothing at all?
This ad campaign is the show’s attempt to maintain its edgy appeal, while still maintaining its family “sensibilities.”
Anyways, we continue to wait with anticipation if the show will continue its strong track record, or if Charlie Sheen leaving is its ultimate demise.
