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.

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.
Lindsay Lohan’s train wreck of a life has been turned into an off-broadway play, reports Playbill. Flattering, or embarrassing? We’re not sure which of these it is.
The play, titled Project: Lohan, is written by D’Arcy Drollinger and directed by Ben Rimalower. It will run from April 29 to May 8 in New York. Playwright Drollinger also plays Lindsay in the play, and the cast also includes Clayton Dean Smith, Brandon Olson, Cindy Goldfield, Emily McGowan and Brian Reiss.
Described as a “multi-media, gender-bending theatrical experience,” the show only uses published text from tabloids, magazines, entertainment TV and internet gossip sites. Kind of a neat concept, if you ask me.
Here’s how the show is described:
“From starlet to harlot, from hottie to hot mess, from fashion plate to prison inmate,” the press notes states, “Lindsay Lohan has been the subject of arguably one of the most publicized rise and falls in showbiz history. The youngest person to host the MTV movie awards and earning over $7 million a picture before she turned 18, Lindsay had it all, but her love/hate relationship with the paparazzi played a significant role in her seemingly out-of-control spiral. The money, the fame, the feuds, the media-hungry parents, the lesbian lover, the insatiable paparazzi, five trips to rehab, two DUI’s, possession of cocaine, shoplifting, physical abuse and even carjacking — all played out in the public eye — will be reinterpreted for the stage; and will include other such luminaries as Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Hillary Duff, Jessica Simpson, Scarlett Johansson, Samantha Ronson, Dina and Michael Lohan, Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Leslie Sloan Zelnick and Wilmer Valderrama.”
This will be nothing short of entertaining, I can tell you that much. I wonder if Lindsay will pop in to see the show? She does make trips to New York quite often, so how amazing would it be if she did a cameo?
The play will be housed at La MaMa, E.T.C., which is located at 74A East 4th Street. For tickets, priced $18/$13 students and seniors, call (212) 475-7710 or visit www.lamama.org.
It looks like Sean Penn’s previously pending paparazzi case is closed almost a year after the incident took place.
Penn plead no contest to vandalism after kicking a photographer in the knee, apparently giving the paparazzo a serious joint injury. The actor got 36 months probation and 300 hours of community service, along with being required to pay an undisclosed sum of money.
Moral of the story: not even Sean Penn can get away with an occasional knee-kick every now and then.
Both sides have signed the required documents and the case is officially closed.
Hollywood justice has been served.
Yeah, baby!
Mike Myers has wed his longtime girlfriend Kelly Tisdale in a secret ceremony, said his rep to E Online. The two have been dating since 2006 and have been secretly married for several months.
“I can confirm that last fall, Mike Myers and Kelly Tisdale were married in a private ceremony and celebrated with family and friends,” his rep told E! News.
Myers’ was married once before to wife of 12 years, comedy writer Robin Ruzan, meanwhile Tisdale was previously linked with music star Moby.
It completely baffles me how celebs are able to get away with things like this. I mean, Mike Myers is by no means an A-list celebrity who is constantly being hounded by paparazzi, but you’d think at least one paparazzi would be on location. Props to him though if he’s able to be in movies AND have a private life – something that isn’t easy to do in the world of Hollywood. Must be because he’s Canadian.
Speaking of Hollywood, though, while we’re on the topic of Myers – what has he done lately? The last huge blockbuster he’s been in is, of course, Austin Powers, which I dearly miss. But he hasn’t really done much after that, has he? Sure, Shrek can count as something but he wasn’t actually acting in it. Throwing on some PJs and recording your voice in a booth isn’t exactly hard work, in my opinion.
I say it’s time to bring back another Austin Powers movie. Except no Beyonce in it, this time.
Shia LaBeouf lived out every celebrity’s fantasy this week by dumping coffee on a paparazzi in Washington D.C.
PopSugar reports the actor was sitting on a patio having a coffee. Suddenly LaBeouf is seen packing up his stuff and running up to the photographer and splashing him with the coffee. Shia is then seen running off.
So is LaBeouf a little brat or standing up for celebrities everywhere?
The photographer that Adam Lambert allegedly roughed up in Miami on Thursday has filed a police report that accuses Lambert of misdemeanour battery, reports PerezHilton.com.
According to the report, the singer allegedly took hold of the photographer’s backpack “where the camera was placed” and “wrestled [the photographer] to the ground forcefully.”
Although the report that was filed states that the photographer didn’t receive any “bruises or lacerations,” if Lambert is prosecuted, he faces some pretty hard penalties. Worst case scenario, he faces a $1,000 fine and up to a year in jail.
Lambert responded to the claims on his Twitter account saying, “Battery? Nope. I attempted to grab a camera, no punches were thrown and no one was on the ground…. It was literally harmless. If embarrassment is a crime- thats all I’m guilty of.”
A paparazzi spotted the couple in Costa Rica on Sunday with a video camera. The two scrambled to separate once they were spotted by the video camera.
Spencer told TMZ that the two were in Costa Rica together so Heidi could turn over the dogs to Spencer, and that Heidi wants nothing to do with him.
Seriously, is that the best lie you can come up with? The only reason you fly all the way to Costa Rica is to turn over the dogs? Wouldn’t it be easier to do a trade like that in the parking lot of a Walmart? We think their scam maybe over! And it’s about f*cking time!
Twilight star, Kristen Stewart, is apologizing for the comment she made this week, reports People.com.
The actress made a comparison between photos of herself taken by the paparazzi and images of rape. Everyone from fans to rape victims’ advocacy groups were quick to respond, standing up against what Stewart said.
“I really made an enormous mistake—clearly and obviously,” she says, “and I’m really sorry about my choice of words,” Stewart tells People.com.
“‘Violated’ definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought,” she says.
Although the comment was offensive, the issue of sexual violence is something that Stewart has spoken out against in the past. She has appeared in public service announcements for two advocacy organizations, RAINN and SOC, promoting awareness of the issue.
She seems to be genuinely disappointed in herself despite the irony of the situation. “People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake.”
Ellen DeGeneres is taking her stint on “American Idol” seriously by proving she is a legit music guru. How is she proving it? She is starting her own record label called eleveneleven and signing YouTube sensation Greyson Chance.
Greyson caught the public eye a few weeks ago after his rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” made waves on YouTube, and he ended up as a guest on Ellen.
In an interview airing Wednesday on her show, Ellen tells Greyson, “When I first met you, I said things are going to change … Now [your YouTube hits] are over 30 million.”
On May 13, DeGeneres introduced Greyson to her audience and famously got Gaga to call him live.
“Greyson, you’re so sweet and so talented, and I was so excited that you covered ‘Paparazzi,’” Gaga told the sixth-grade prodigy during the earlier ‘Ellen’ taping. “Everyone loves you so much. Just keep following your dreams and work really hard, and stay away from girls and be focused.”
PopEater reports that Ellen claims to have signed Greyson for $10,000. This contradicts earlier reports that Interscope had signed the 11 year old.
Maybe Miley Cyrus is the young American sweetheart she appears to be. The young lucky pop star is dating Australian hottie Liam Hemsworth, her Last Song costar. They are quite official and E! Online reports that when she met his parents they totally fell in love with her too.
“Yeah, they loved her,” Liam tells Michael Yo on tonight’s Daily 10. His parents met the 17-year-old on a recent visit to his hometown Down Under.
“It was really cool to show Miley where I’m from and how I grew up, and it’s a completely different world to where she’s from,” Liam continued. “We don’t have shopping centers or traffic lights or anything like that, where I live at least.”
Miley said she loved it too but for different reasons. Apparently the paparazzi was her selling feature to the continent.
TMZ has obtained a video with Travis Barker and his friends threatening the Paparazzi outside a Calabasas, California restaurant. Allegedly Barker and his entourage also slashed the photogs tires as well.
In the beginning of the video Barker is seen yelling “Where’s your homeboy?” Apparently Barker got into an altercation with photographers on his way into the restaurant, but the gentlemen in the video are not the same individuals.
Barker issued the following statement on his Twitter page regarding the altercation. “Paparazzi cried like young girls when it was no longer three of them against me and my kids. Didn’t they remember threatening me an hour ago? What happened to the tough guys with the cameras? It was gonna be a fair fight.”
Kanye West got away with it this time. According to TMZ, Kanye’s case involving a run-in with photograhers at LAX was dismissed today. Kanye and his manager Don Crowley had been charged with vandalism, battery and grand theft after smashing camera equipment of two photographers at LAX on September 11, 2008.
In October the judge agreed to dismiss the case if both Kanye and Crowley performed 50 hours of community service. They agreed, as well as to taking anger management classes. Kanye’s lawyer, Blair Berk, and Crowley’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, went to court to prove the men had kept their word and worked 50 hours at the Red Cross. Lucky for them, the case is now history.
Charges filed against Kanye West and his road manager and bodyguard, Don Crowley, have been dropped by a Los Angeles court, reports CBC. The pair faced misdemeanour charges in connection with a fight that broke out with two paparazzi in an airport last September. The incident resulted in some broken equipment and minor injuries to one of the photographers.
The scales in the Britney-K-Fed world are perpetually skewed. One is doomed to be crazy or in rehab or bald while the other is acting the model parent for the paparazzi. It’s like a law of physics or something.
So, just as Spears began to clean up her act, Federline took a very public plunge into the depths of obesity, baring his flabby chest for the paparazzi at a pool in Miami on Saturday.
The photos available on JustJared.com, among other gossip websites, are disturbing at best, but they also beg the question as to how he can hang on to volleyball player girlfriend Victoria Prince. And obviously, how he snagged Spears in the first place?
Amy Winehouse was taken to the hospital in St. Lucia, the Caribbean isle she’s been staying at for months, her spokesman revealed on Saturday. According to media queen Perez Hilton, the reason for Wino’s hospitalization is cited as dehydration.
Says Wino’s publicist: “She fainted at home (in St Lucia) and they took her in for observation, mainly to do with her medication to check everything was OK. They told her that she was dehydrated and needed to drink more water.”
According to the statement, Wino had been running around with a group of children before she passed out. She is expected to perform at a jazz festival in St. Lucia this coming week, if she’s feeling better.
Lily Allen has won a major victory in her ongoing battle against the paparazzi.
Following an incident Thursday in which she was allegedly rear-ended by a photog in London, the British pop singer secured a court injunction banning further harassment from paparazzi photographers.
“My client has faced constant harassment over the last few months from the paparazzi,” Allen’s lawyer Mark Thomson said in a statement released on Friday. “As a result of this and various incidents of harassment that took place yesterday my client has now been forced to take legal action.
Although she may appear angelic, the young actress doesn’t put up with reporters when it comes to privacy. While being bombarded with photographers at an event in Hawaii she yelled “Back up,” Eonline reports. When one reporter tried to get her attention by touching her shoulder she screamed “Don’t you ever touch me” and finished the scene by saying “You all make my life miserable!” Perhaps the young actress isn’t meant to be in the spotlight after all.
On Sunday, British soccer player, David Beckham engaged in a confrontation with the paparazzi after having his car pursued by photographers.
Ironically, the fight broke loose in front of a Beverly Hills police station.
It started after a disapproving Beckham approached the car that had been following his own demanding that the driver come out to speak to him. Moments later, when the driver refused, one of Beckham’s bodyguards made his way to the passenger seat of the offending vehicle and began swinging away.
“Once the bodyguards and the paparazzi started fighting David ran back to the car and he and Victoria drove off…The cops finally came and broke it up,” said an eyewitness to E! News.
Authorities confiscated a video of the fight – taken by one of the photographers – as evidence and questioned two of the bodyguards but no arrests were made.
A photographer involved in the fight said to E! News representative, “They just can’t do this. They put me on the floor, they got my camera and they threw it in the trash can. They can’t do this to us.”
The only statement released by the authorities was made by the Beverly Hills Police Department Sgt. Gregg Mader stating, “We took a report at the scene, but no one was taken into custody or cited, we’ll review what we have to see if further action needs to be taken.”
Paparazzi taking photos of Matthew McConaughey were attacked by a group of surfers, reports E! News.
According to one shutterbug, the photographers were approached by the surfers who demanded that everyone stop filming and taking pictures. However, when that did not happen, the argument escalated and became physical.
“[The surfers] formed a semicircle in front of his camera and they said [McConaughey] didn’t want him to film,” said spokesman Steve Whitmore for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesman. “They got into an argument, and [the photographer] indicated that he received injuries…[The surfers] took the video camera and threw it in the water.”
While detectives are investigating the incident, according to E! News, a paparazzo suffered a broken nose.
The Diana inquest was finished yesterday when jurors found that the Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed “were unlawfully killed by the reckless driving of their chauffeur, Henri Paul, and the paparazzi who chased them,” the UK Guardian reports.
Paul was revealed during the inquest to have been three times over the French blood alcohol limit, with blood tests and other samples.
Princes William and Harry were present to hear the verdict, and later thanked the jury for the “thorough way in which they have considered the evidence”.
“We agree with their verdicts,” the Princes stated, “and are both hugely grateful to each and every one of them for the forbearance they have shown in accepting such significant disruption to their lives over the past six months.”
The Princes said they were also grateful to the people who came forward with evidence, and to “all those who fought so desperately to save our mother’s life on that tragic night.”
Mohamed Al Fayed, Dodi’s father, said he was “disappointed” by the verdict. He believed that his son and the Princess had been killed deliberately, as part of a conspiracy involving the royal family and MI6.
During the six-month inquest, more than 240 witness testified. It is estimated to have cost upwards of £10m.
Britney Spears’ world crumbled even more last night, after a dramatic screaming match with her manager.
Spears and Sam Lutfi we seen having an emotional argument in her gated community, reports Perez Hilton. Spears was photographed barefoot outside, crying and cuddling her dog. She was so upset she called her boyfriend, paparazzo Adnan Ghalib, but Lutfi had told Spears’ security not to let Ghalib enter.
The fight was so bad that Spears eventually fled with another member of the paparazzi, and her father drove over to protect her.
The photo agency Ghalib works for released a statement, explaining further that Ghalib never tried to break into Spears’ home. He said there was “distress” in Britney’s voice, but when he arrived and was barred access, “Adnan then tried to call Britney [but] it seems that Sam had turned all of her cell phones off.”
The agency also snapped photos of Ghalib’s phone, illuminated with text messages from Lutfi. “You’re a manic trigger… you’ll kill her,” the messages said. “You need to cease all contact with her completely. I tried to work with you helping her but you didn’t do as asked. Only way to help now is to disappear. She’s never been this way.”
