BEFORE WE BEGIN...
Welcome to the Hollywood 5 & 1! I'm "Gentleman" Steve Gustafson, and I pile up all the celebrity gossip from the week in one place, just for you. How's it done? I'm the guy who lingers at the check-out counter reading every gossip tabloid. I get a backache from hovering over my computer scanning every celebrity related web site. I interrupt conversations when my cell phones rings because it might be a scoop. I'm that guy.
Real quick. I was **THIS** close to posting the Channing Tatum exotic dancer video but decided not to. I didn't want to turn the comments section into a sausage fest unseen in the annals of 411mania history!
Let me get tooting my own horn out of the way. This past Monday I filled in for Chad Webb and wrote the Big Screen Bulletin. Yes, the rumors are true. I'll be taking over for Chad starting with issue #201. Did you get to the movies at all? If you are not sure what to see you can always read my review for G.I. Joe or (500) Days of Summer. Speaking of G.I. Joe, I had the privilege of interviewing G.I. Joe creator Larry Hama and he gave his thoughts on the new movie.
Ok. I want to do something nice for you. I don't know why, but I don't want you to go through any unnecessary pain. Heidi Montag is on the cover of the new issue of Playboy magazine. They are pushing it as a big deal but just to let you know, she doesn't bare all. All you get are some implied shots and an interview that's more annoying than gnats on a muggy day. 411 posted a few of the pics HERE. That's my good deed. Let's get into it!
They could make a bundle if they auctioned for charity the opportunity to punch Spencer in the face.
WHO SAID WHAT? "Big Jerry was a giant purple dildo, very large in girth and length. Basically, anybody that was caught going to sleep would get photographed with Big Jerry the dildo somewhere near their face and put up on the Board of Shame. The idea was three strikes and you're out. This kind of really worried me because I have a tendency to nap. If I have 10 or 15 minutes you'd find me in a corner underneath something but I never got caught. Brad (Pitt) was up there once on the Board of Shame, Gedeon Burkhard got caught twice, Diane (Kruger) was on the board... There was a lot of people on that board."
Cast members caught napping on the set of Quentin Tarantino's new movie Inglourious Basterds were humiliated by a large purple dildo. Michael Fassbender admits he was one of the only cast mates not to make the board, because he found ways of sleeping in secret.
How about another one from the movie set of Inglourious Basterds?
"Then we shot the scene and at one point in the movie Brad and I get kidnapped together and we're in the back of a truck. We're shooting it for three hours and it comes to the time to really know Brad Pitt, not just meet him. He's the greatest guy in the world, asking questions, making polite conversation. He's like, 'So, how's The Office going? How was it like moving from Boston to Los Angeles?' And I'm like, 'Well Brad...', just so comfortable and it occurs to me, 'Oh my God, it's going to be my turn to ask questions next and I don't know what to ask Brad Pitt that doesn't feel like you're some tabloid reporter! Like, 'How's the girlfriend? How's the being Brad Pitt thing?' "In the end I was like, 'How's things going?' And he was like, 'Oh great, there's this and there's that.'"
B.J. Novak struggled to establish a friendship with Brad Pitt on the set of their new movie Inglourious Basterds, because he felt like a "tabloid reporter" every time he attempted to make small talk with the Hollywood superstar.
CELEBRITY TWITTER-A-GO-GO!
No matter what you think about Twitter, it's making headlines. Saying that, I pick those headlines and deliver them right to you so you don't have to suffer following thousands of Tweets. You're welcome.
Ashton Kutcher was forced to swallow his pride and admit defeat live on TV after losing a game of skee ball to Jimmy Fallon. The Late Night With Jimmy Fallon host challenged Kutcher to a quick match on the arcade game, where players have to roll balls up a ramp and aim to land them in the rings, each of which is worth a different number of points. The stars, both of whom are regular users of Twitter.com, agreed the loser would have to 'Tweet' about their defeat online. After a 30-second match, Fallon, playing under the team name That's Amazing, emerged triumphant with a score of 300, while Kutcher's team, The Bankers, only managed to notch up 170 points. But the game was not without controversy; Fallon's machine appeared to be faulty after it racked up a score of 700 when it was actually 300. After a brief protest, Kutcher bowed down to Fallon and posted on his Twitter page, "I got my a** kicked by @jiMmyfallon (Jimmy Fallon) in skeeball (sic). That's Amazing." If you aren't watching Jimmy, see what you're missing?
Are you following the REAL 411mania on Twitter? Don't be fooled by the imitators!
Sweet Tweet "This trip is turning out to be a real train wreck ... train was going 70 mph, good thing the truck wasn't Pete built. Would have been Tragic."
Jesse James (Franklyluckman) and his 11-year-old son were among 279 passengers on a train as it rolled through Monterey County, California, and struck a semi-truck, which was stopped on the tracks.
COMING & GOING
Tinseltown is in constant flux. Consider this to be your scorecard for marriage, divorce, who had a baby, and who just passed away. I would include arrests but I don't have the room!
John Quade passed away in his sleep at his home in Rosamond, California on Sunday. He was 71.
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson has given birth to a baby boy. Hudson and her fiancé, David Otunga, welcomed little David Daniel Otunga, Jr. on Monday night. He weighed in a seven pounds and 14 ounces and is the couple's first.
Patrick Wilson has become a father for the second time, his actress wife Dagmara Dominczyk Wilson gave birth to a son on Sunday. The couple has named the baby Kassian McCarrell Wilson. The newborn is a younger brother for three-year-old Kalin Patrick.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck and her husband Tim Hasselbeck have welcomed their third child. Isaiah Timothy was born on Sunday in New York City and weighed in at seven pounds, seven ounces (3.4 kilograms). The couple is already parents to four-year-old daughter, Grace, and 21-month-old son, Taylor Thomas.
Comedian Tracy Morgan has filed for divorce from his wife of 23 years. Morgan has reportedly been separated from his wife Sabina for eight years and on Friday made legal filings in Bronx Supreme Court to make the split official. The pair share sons Gitrid, 23, Malcolm, 21, and Tracy, Jr., 17.
Cheech Marin has married Natasha Rubin in a sunset ceremony at their Malibu, California home. The comedian proposed to his girlfriend of nearly five years in February and they tied the knot this past weekend.
Anna Faris has married Chris Pratt in Indonesia. The actress has confirmed she and her beau exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony in Bali last month after previously denying reports they'd tied the knot in Hawaii.
Duane 'Dog' Chapman is a grandfather again, his daughter has given birth to a baby girl. Lyssa Chapman welcomed Madalynn Grace Galanti in Honolulu, Hawaii. The 22-year-old and her husband already have a seven-year-old girl, and she's stepmother to a four-year-old daughter. Madalynn is Duane Chapman's 14th grandchild.
JUST MISSED THE CUT
Quick little news briefs that just missed the official 5!
Here we go again! How old is too old?Playboy boss Hugh Hefner has scrapped plans to feature 75-year-old TV star Shirley Jones in magazine, because the actress "wouldn't show enough" skin. Let that one sink in. The former Partridge Family star's husband/manager Marty Ingels revealed in May he was pushing for his wife to disrobe in a tasteful pictorial. But Jones admits her Playboy dreams were dashed because she refused to pose nude. She told the National Enquirer, "My children and friends said, 'Shirley, are you crazy? You're going to pose nude?' I replied, 'No, I'm not going to pose naked, but I am going to show the best parts of my body.' In the end, Hef (Hefner) didn't run it because I wouldn't show enough. But I had a great time and the pictures were fabulous." Be honest, you'd buy Playboy out of curiosity, wouldn't you?
Who's next? Zsa Zsa Gabor?
Alright, let's get to the actual Hollywood 5 & 1. I go through 5 things out of Hollywood this past week that made me scratch my head and throw in 1 item that's not so bad. Got it? Let's go!
The 5
GREENE VS. HUDGENS!
It's the battle of the nude pictures! When scientist look back on this period they'll be perplexed at the amount of camera phone snapshots, leaked videos, and racy spreads that have overtaken the C List (and below) celeb's. In this corner we have Ashley Greene. Who gave new meaning to full frontal disclosure. Of course in a movie to magnify any publicity in relation to the scandal she is threatening to sue anyone posting nude photographs of her online. In a bid to stop the candid shots, which features one full frontal snap, from spreading (**ZING**), Greene's attorney is warning news websites not to post the pictures. A statement from her legal representative reads, "The photos in question, which appear to be of our client, are illegal and are being unlawfully displayed. Our client intends to take legal action." The attorney told PerezHilton.com, "Ms. Greene is the owner of the copyrights in these photos, and, as copyright owner, Ms. Greene owns the exclusive rights, among others, to reproduce, distribute, and to display the photos."
Our returning champ would be Vanessa Hudgens. Who seems oblivious to the laws of common sense. Two nude photo scandals under her belt (believe me, that's some belt!) haven't driven Hudgens to put down her camera, the actress is an avid amateur photographer. And not just of pictures of herself in a state of undress. Despite the traumatic camera encounters, the 20-year-old insists photography is her favorite hobby. She told Moviefone, "I think it's a lot of fun...savoring the moment. I get to go to all these beautiful places, so it's nice being able to take pictures of it." Isn't that what it's all about folks? Pictures of beautiful places!
Don't be shy! Which one had the better shots? Vote in the comment section below!
Carmen Ortega is COLD!
Coldblooded! Carmen Ortega has added to Kim Kardashian's heartache by revealing she has a sex tape of a night she spent with the Kim's ex-boyfriend. Kardashian, who was the subject of a 2007 sex tape herself, split from Reggie Bush earlier this summer, and now Ortega claims she was romancing the New Orleans Saints running back while he was dating his ex, and she has the footage to prove it. YOWCH! Does she really think she's doing herself any favors by advertising that? I know everyone wants a piece of the fame, but she's not even attempting to play coy. This is an extremely blatant ploy on her part to stretch out the attention this is garnering and gets a thumbs down from me. Speaking on New York radio station Hot 97, Ortega reveals, "Me and Reggie were friends that became more...during Kim... (but now) me and Reggie do not communicate...I don't want to." Asked if sex tape rumors are true, Ortega said, "Possibly...There's stuff that I have. I have no idea what I'm gonna do with it, to be honest." But the model dismissed reports she's expecting Bush's child: "I am not pregnant." Speaking of...
Kourtney Kardashian is with child after forgetting to take a contraceptive pill. The reality show personality revealed her shock news this past week, following it up by confirming she had reunited with former boyfriend Scott Disick after learning she was expecting his baby. Now Kardashian confesses the pregnancy is down to her "stupidity" and bad memory. During an appearance on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Wednesday, she admits, "This probably sounds so dumb, but there's so many times I'll forget to take my pill and I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's just so stupid." If you want to see the Kardashian bunch in action, skip on down!
If you were Reggie, who gets the nod? Oh, and it was very difficult find a "SAFE" Carmen Ortega picture.
Kickin It With the K's!
I know most of you won't admit to watching any of the Kardashian's reality shows, but I think you can handle a 5-minute clip of them.
To Pee or Not To Pee...
It must have been a slow news week for THIS to get as much attention as it has gotten. I bet you cruise down Sunset on a Friday night and see a number of celeb's doing the tinkle shake. Jaime Pressly is laughing off reports she was caught urinating in public, insisting photos leaked online actually show her carrying out a party dare. Pressly appeared to be crouching down and relieving herself outside Los Angeles hang-out The Abbey in the photos that appeared online on Monday, but she was actually carrying out an engagement bash prank. In a post on her Twitter.com blog, the actress reveals, "That is me doing dare #8 at my bridal shower...Notice my hand in the back... it's pouring a bottle." Sure. **WINK**
Method acting?
PETA Goes to the Zoo!
Here's the obligatory preaching part! Animal rights activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have written a series of letters to stars including Adam Sandler, Cher, Rosario Dawson and Sylvester Stallone over their new movie The Zookeeper. The film, from Sandler's Happy Madison production company, will star Kevin James as an unlucky-in-love zoo worker who tries to win the affections of Dawson's character. It will feature a range of exotic creatures that provide advice, with voiceovers from Stallone, Cher and Sandler. But bosses at PETA are furious about the decision to hire animal trainers from California for the shoot at Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, Massachusetts, claiming the company has a history of neglect. PETA officials say Gary Gero's Birds & Animals Unlimited has been cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for "numerous animal welfare violations", and have written to the actors in a bid to keep the animals safe on set. PETA spokeswoman Amanda Schinke says, "We're hoping to enlist the film's stars to keep cruelty off the set. Exotic animals used as involuntary ‘actors' are routinely subjected to rigorous and abusive training methods to coerce them into performing acts that are stressful, uncomfortable, confusing and even painful." A rep for Gary Gero's has hit back at PETA's claims, insisting the organization has been misinformed: "When we did (1989 movie) Batman, PETA said our penguins should have been kept cold, they were from South Africa! They don't do their research and there's nothing that can be said to change their minds. We've been in the business 45 years, we're highly respected. We know our animals are well-treated and well-cared for and we can sleep very well at night." While Franklin Park Zoo boss, John Linehan, adds, "We have observed nothing but good care of the animals since they have been on site filming The Zookeeper at Franklin Park Zoo." What do you say? Is PETA overreacting or just doing their job?
No jerk comment. Just Sandler and his two best friends enjoying the beach.
& 1
VINTAGE Denzel!
I don't care what this guy does; he's cool in my book. Denzel Washington delighted a pair of newlyweds recently after posing alongside them for their wedding pictures. The actor was eating lunch at an outdoor cafe with wife Pauletta when he spotted the new husband and wife leaving a chapel in Positano, Italy after they'd just exchanged vows. Washington got up from his table to congratulate the British couple, before wrapping his arms around them, and grinning for a set of snaps. It doesn't end there! Later that night they ran into him again at a local bar, where he bought them a round of drinks. The groom says, "He made our day. He is a really nice guy, totally charming." That's how we end the 5 & 1...on a high note!
Appearing at a wedding near you!

So Playboy pays an exorbitant amount of money to get an annoying but hot chick to pose in their magazine not showing anything, but then calls off an old broad because she won't show enough??? Ya, fuck Playboy, I'm done subscribing. The articles have always sucked, and the pics of the actual nude hot chicks can always be found for free online.

Denzel for the WIN!

Bravo to Denzel. He sounds like a class act. As far as Shirley Jones goes, I don't need to see it. Now, if Julie Andrews was in Playboy, I might take a look. Sorry, Mary Poppins was my first childhood crush.
Posted By: The Great Capt. Smooth (Guest) on August 15, 2009 at 09:28 AM
Pretty sure the penguins thing would have been for 1992's Batman Returns. But either way, fuck PETA.
And who the hell wants to see someone who could be their grandmother naked? Aside from the weirdos here that have granny fetishes.
Posted By: PHOENIXZERO (Guest) on August 15, 2009 at 10:11 AM
I think Reggie had the best of both worlds as both of those chicks are hot as hell. I think I'd probably give Kim a slight edge. Ortega looks like she could be a huge bitch.
Posted By: Zingy (Guest) on August 15, 2009 at 11:16 AM
Ashley Greene is fucking hot.
Posted By: Jake Fury (Guest) on August 15, 2009 at 01:06 PM

Posted By: O.J Mendez (Guest) on August 15, 2009 at 07:30 PM
Ashley Greene shows snapper, therefor...she wins.
Posted By: Team Zissou (Guest) on August 15, 2009 at 09:50 PM
Ashely Green wins all.
Posted By: Ant-LOX (Guest) on August 16, 2009 at 09:49 AM
Whats this Hugh paying women to not take their clothes off? Dammit he's getting wierd in his old age. That is unacceptable. Oliva Munn and now this annoying but hot chick whose name escapes me and I am too lazy to scroll up.
Posted By: Captain_America (Guest) on August 16, 2009 at 11:58 AM
Ok, so I ignored the voting in my anger over the Heidi Playboy.
I vote Ashley Greene for 2 reason: 1. New Pussy. 2. She went all the way and showed her shaved pussy in her cellphone shots. Only bad thing she did was screw herself out of a paycheck with Playboy, but of course, Hef has lost his mind and will probably pay her for some bikini shots.
Carmen over Kim easily. Christ, just that one picture of her alone wins it, let alone some of the others that have been around before this. Of course, poor Reggie is really being used by her just so she can get her name out, but hey, If I were him, I'd beat it up until she's worn out before her 15 minutes are up.
However, Jamie Pressly is hotter than either of those 4 girls. And if she really is that much of a partier where she just has to go cop a squat wherever she needs, that's even better, cause it shows she's a down chick.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon rules!
Kudos to Denzel
