Megan Fox Stars in Sexy CCAA Commercial

Posted by Natalia Buia on January 23rd, 2012

Brazilian-based language school CCAA sure know how to lure in viewers with their commercials. They’ve hired ten Megan Foxes for their latest commercial.

“Welcome to Megan Fox Island!” Megan says, as she greets two stranded Spanish-speaking teen boys. Dozens of clones are standing around, dressed in a sulty cave girl outfit like Raquel Welch’s in “One Million Years B.C.”. It’s every teenage boy’s dream.

As the two boys’ plane crashes on the island, they try to communicate with the Foxes, however, their lack of English gets them exiled to an island no one ever wants to go: Mike Tyson Island.

Crook With A Death Wish Breaks Into Mike Tyson’s Hotel Room

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 5th, 2012

There is a Las Vegas crook with an obvious death wish. Mike Tyson was staying at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Saturday night with his family, when they were woken to a surprise.

During the night while Mike was fast asleep in his PJs, a crook broke into his hotel room. Mike was awoken by some noise and a flashlight, but the intruder ran out of the room before Mike fully woke up.

Lucky for the intruder because Mike probably would have broken the guy’s face into a million pieces.

A rep for the hotel tells TMZ, “We have received a report of an incident that is currently under investigation. As always, guest safety is of the utmost importance.”

Comedian Patrice O’Neal Dead at 41

Posted by Natalia Buia on November 29th, 2011

When everyone was making fun of his health during the Charlie Sheen roast back in October, no one expected his health to take his life so quickly.

41 year old Comedian Patrice O’Neal passed away today after suffering a stroke in October, The New York Daily News says.

O’Neal began his career in Boston and rose to fame with “The Opie and Anthony Show”. He also made numourous appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and The Ellen Degeneres Show, not to mention countless comedy specials on HBO.

O’Neal was definitely a hit at the Charlie Sheen roast back in October. Unfortunately, those in attendence began to shift the roasting on to O’Neal, which displeased a lot of his fans because shortly after the episode aired, he suffered a stroke.

Mike Tyson took a jab at O’Neal during the Comedy Network special, saying “Patrice has always been destined for stardom, and diabetes. So tonight is not just the roast of Charlie Sheen, its’ also a farewell party for Patrice’s foot.”

No word from Tyson yet on the wake of O’Neal’s death. I’m sure as the day goes on, many celebrities and fans will pay their respects to such an outrageous comedien.

Snooki Dancing with Mike Tyson?

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 21st, 2011

Snooki might be putting on her dancing shoes and be cast on the next season of Dancing With The Stars. Looks like she is following in the foot steps of “The Situation” who was also in the show.

US Weekly reports Snooki is in talks with ABC to appear in Season 13 of the show, and would be starting September 19. Here is what else is interesting. ABC is talking to a few other celebrities to join next season, including Mike Tyson.

Wouldn’t that be an amazing duo – Mike Tyson and Snooki? They would either love each other, or Tyson would end up knocking her out. That would be awesome television.

Mike Tyson’s Face Tattoo Artist Sues ‘Hangover 2′ Producers

Posted by andPOP Staff on April 29th, 2011

Well this is awkward for Warner Bros. If you’ve seen the previews for “Hangover 2,” you will plainly see Ed Helms’ character gets a Mike Tyson face tattoo. TMZ reports the tattoo artist who created that tattoo is pissed, and is now suing.

TMZ reports S. Victor Whitmill is the artist who did the work on Tyson in 2003, and copyrighted the design. Whitmill says he has never allowed anyone to use the image since Tyson had it plastered on his face.

Whitmill is now suing Warner Bros., the producer of the film, for copyright violation, and he wants to block the studio from showing scenes of the tattoo. He also wants cash.

Here’s hoping Mr. Whitmill is a reasonable man with a reasonable case, and gets enough money to shut up. We don’t want anybody cutting scenes from “Hangover 2.”

The Palmerston Group covers SXSW for andPOP

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 14th, 2011

Each spring eyes from all over the world converge on Austin to get a glimpse into the immediate future.

What started out as a regional new music fest has blossomed into an all-encompasing mass-media frenzy with a focus on emerging technologies and the ‘next big thing’.     There are now three primary areas of focus to the week:  Interactive, Film and Music.  Last year, for the first time ever, the interest and numbers for the Interactive conference were larger than any other part of the event.    We had to find out what was up.

Twitter famously got it’s big push into fame here at South By, and nowadays every startup with an unpronounceable name is competing for attention amongst the 15,000 geeks who invade the city for the first few days of what’s now merely referred to as “Interactive”.

Everyone wants to launch the next big thing.    This has caused a massive influx of what is now known as “marketing doucebaggery”.   Companies throw lavish invite-only parties with open bars and big name performers.   There are free rides and free lunches.   Companies hire models to roam the streets handing out knick knacks and doodads.

Some companies even bring in hired endorsers.   Enter Mike Tyson.    For two hours on Sunday afternoon, the former heavyweight champ preened for photos and signed autographs surrounded by tight-shirted models and well-armed security. The company that sponsored his attendance had their name plastered over every possible piece of surface within three blocks but I still cannot recall what it was.   None of this changed the fact that it was somewhat disturbing watching a convicted rapist being swooned over by eligible-looking willing-and-able females.

It all blends together in the end.   Sometimes the loudest way to get a message across is to whisper.

No one is whispering.

So far the highlight of the past few days has been a wonderful panel with Paul Reubens, the master comedian who’s more famously known as his Pee Wee Herman character.    He was extremely candid about his experiences, and provided some spectacular insight into his personality and the genesis of the Pee Wee figure.

“I went many years without being photographed out of character, well.. except that ONE time….”

Daniel Berkal leads the trendspotting team at The Palmerston Group, and will be mailing reports from Austin, Texas exclusively to andPOP throughout SXSW 2011.

Mike Tyson’s Wife Gives Birth to Eighth Child

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 26th, 2011

That’s right ladies and gentlemen, Mike Tyson just welcomed his eighth kid to the world. The baby was born to Mike’s current wife, Lahika Spicer Tyson, 32. This is their second child together, reports RadarOnline.

A source close to the couple says, “Mike and Lakiha are very happy and everyone is doing great.”

In an interview on ‘The View,’ the boxer admitted, “I’m totally destitute and broke. Yeah,I have no money.” When co-host Joy Behar asked how that was possible, given his success and endorsements, he replied, “Um, I had a lot of fun.”

And let’s not forget his fledgling acting career. Who can forget his fine performance playing himself in The Hangover? Anyways, good job Mike having another kid you obviously can’t afford. Well played!

Mike Tyson Sued for $25 Million by Photographer

Posted by andPOP Staff on October 19th, 2010

Mike Tyson is being sued for $25 Million by a photographer who claims the boxer beat him down last November at LAX.

TMZ reports the photographer — Antonio Echavarria — claims Tyson attacked him, hit him with a closed fist, and broke his camera. The photographer claims he suffered a concussion and a strained spinal chord.

Tyson was initially arrested after the incident and booked for misdemeanor battery. The case was thrown out however as the L.A. City Attorney officially rejected the case, citing “insufficient evidence.”

Bradley Cooper’s ‘Hangover’ Well Earned

Posted by Jeremy Singer on June 4th, 2009

ALO-011463

Bradley Cooper gained two important things from shooting his upcoming hyped summer comedy flick The Hangover.

The first being his now refined Yoda-like knowledge of throwing the perfect bachelor party- which he says should include condoms, a muppet, and lots of ice.

But the second, and by far gaining the most buzz, is Cooper’s promotion of a lifetime from a working actor, to well, a movie star.

Only, if you ask the humble 34-year-old North Philly about the hype, you’ll suddenly be hauled back down to earth.

“I don’t feel any of that and maybe I should,” Cooper tells andPOP modestly, trying to keep the excitement at bay. A failed attempt, considering Warner Bros. Entertainment already gave the green light to a sequel in 2011 even before the  current film hits theaters on June 5.

“I will admit this though,” he says, “I do have a bigger role in the movie than usual which I really liked.”

Helen Mirren’s Take on Date Rape

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 2nd, 2008

Helen Mirren has stirred up a frenzy after telling GQ magazine her controversial position on date rape.

The thespian, who also revealed she has been date raped, thinks that if a man and women had consensually had sex prior to the date rape, the man should not be charged.

“I don’t think she can have that man into court under those circumstances,” Mirren said. “I guess it is one of the subtle parts of the men/women relationship that has to be negotiated and worked out between them. It’s such a tricky area, isn’t it? Especially if there is no violence. If a woman voluntarily ends up in a man’s bedroom with her clothes off… Look at Mike Tyson. I don’t think he was a rapist.”

While she was at it, Mirren revealed her past with drugs — and why she stopped.

“I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties. What ended it for me was when they caught Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyons, in the early 80s. He was in South America and living off the proceeds as a cocaine baron. I never touched it again. I grasped the full horrifying structure of what brings coke to our parties in Britain….I hated marijuana. It made me paranoid and unhappy.”

Mike Tyson Plans Own Biopic, Casts Jamie Foxx

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 26th, 2008

The World Entertainment News Network reports that Mike Tyson is planning to produce a biopic about his life, and has already hand-picked Jamie Foxx for the part.

The two-time boxing heavyweight champion has certainly experienced enough drama in the last two decades to make the film interesting. He was convicted of raping a beauty pageant contestant in 1992, bit off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear in 1997, declared bankruptcy in 2003, and was jailed last year for a DUI and possession of cocaine.

Of his struggles with substance abuse, Tyson said that he is now clean. “Even when I was training for a fight, there were no drugs, but I would drink. I had never been clean and sober my whole life. This is the first time. I’m tired of losing. I lost the trust of my family, my five kids. I didn’t like that way of life and decided to change. I saw the devil and didn’t want that.”

Mike Tyson Arrested On DUI, Drug Possession Charges

Posted by andPOP Staff on December 29th, 2006

Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was arrested early Friday in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was suspected of driving under the influence and was in possession of cocaine.

Local police stopped Tyson after he left a nightclub and almost drove into a sheriff’s vehicle at about 1:45 a.m., said Sgt. Larry Hall.

“He showed signs of impairment and voluntarily submitted to field sobriety tests,” said Hall. The field tests revealed “more signs of impairment” and Tyson was put under arrest. Then, police found cocaine in his car.

Tyson was booked at the Maricopa County jail and was scheduled to appear in court Friday morning, said Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Tyson has previously served time in jail on a charge of rape.
