The Hollywood 5 & 1 9.05.09: Crazy Like a (Megan) Fox Edition

Posted by Steve Gustafson on 09.05.2009

Is Megan Fox nutty nuts? Lindsay Lohan makes Playboy take another step backwards. Is Keanu Reeves the father or not? I sound off on Chris Brown and present another "& 1 Model of the Week"! All the celebrity gossip you need to know in one place!

BEFORE WE BEGIN...
Welcome to the Hollywood 5 & 1! I'm Steve Gustafson, and we've got a lot of random celebrity gossip to cover. If that's not enough we also are into Week 2 of a BRAND NEW feature here...The & 1 Model of the Week. Every week I will feature a model or actress, have a little chat with them, and see what they are up to. Some people have told me that you all don't deserve it, but I don't agree!

Let me take a quick second and congratulate Steve A. and Britta C. on their wedding that I will be attending. Put the kids to bed!

Alright, I know Chris Brown belongs in the Music section, and 411mania/Music has the best coverage each and every day, but I just had to weigh in on this guy. Larry King bit the bullet and gave Brown a chance to talk about his thoughts and reflections on the past seven months since he assaulted Rihanna. He managed to compare his relationship with her to Romeo and Juliet as well as talk about how he thinks they may still end up together someday. When King implied that this is what he will be remembered for, Chris said brought up Michael Jackson and his troubles. He went on to say he wasn't emotionally prepared to deal with rough patches. "I'm not saying domestic violence is a part of relationships. But we're both young, nobody taught us how to love one another. No one taught us how to control our emotions, our anger." I always thought it was common sense that you DON'T BEAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND...but that's me. Who wrote this trash he was speaking? I honestly can't believe this guy is as stupid as he comes across. It has to be an act. Sorry, I have no sympathy for a non-talent abuser who refuses to take responsibility for his actions. Making the rounds and doing interviews isn't remorse, its damage control. Chris Brown is garbage.



Chris Brown should beat whoever picked out that outfit.

WHO SAID WHAT?
"Get on your bike. Russell wants you to go riding with him. Are you ready to die?"

Russell Crowe's spokesperson to gossip columnist Annette Sharp. The actor challenged Sharp to a cycling duel after the writer mocked his fitness regime and unhealthy habits. He was infuriated when Sydney's The Daily Telegraph published an article headlined, "Smokes and fatty foods the fitness regime for Rusty," after he was spotted puffing cigarettes and eating fast food during a bike ride. The paper ridiculed Crowe for taking breaks from his personal trainer to and eat plates of tacos and satisfy his nicotine cravings. So the star hit back, by challenging the journalist to take him on in a cycle challenge. After accepting the duel, the actor met up with Sharp for a 12-mile cycle ride through Sydney. In a video, the journalist is seen struggling to keep up with Crowe, but the actor credits her efforts, insisting she is "twice the man Baz (Luhrmann) is." Point CROWE!

CELEBRITY TWITTER-A-GO-GO!
Twitter is here to stay! Each week I scan the headlines, looking for news and tweets, so I can deliver them to you.

Filmmaker Kevin Smith is holding a 24-hour marathon Twitter Q&A fest on Monday, where he'll field questions from his followers for a solid day. Follow him at @ThatKevinSmith, and consider yourself warned about the graphic language and adult situations. The tweetathon is to publicize his new book, Shootin' the Sh*t with Kevin Smith, but given how freewheeling his live Q&As are, this isn't exactly a talking-points kind of event. I guess I know what you all will be doing Monday.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK
From time to time a video catches my eye and I'll pass it on to you. It might not be new or even that funny. But I'll leave that up to you to decide. Check this one out. I think you'll enjoy it.




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 "& 1" Model of the Week! Let's go!



Crazy Like a...(Megan) Fox?
Can I say I called this months ago? I mentioned something in the 5 & 1, shared some quotes. I'm voting she's three fries short from being a Happy Meal. Megan Fox makes some waves in Wonderland's 4th Anniversary Issue where she really opens up about herself. WARNING This might make you question her hotness.

In the interview she drops such tidbits like, "I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven't pinpointed what it is." And on her new movie Jennifer's Body, "I think it's really about how fucked up and scary girls are. Girls are fucking nightmares." On how she looks at herself as a "product", "Part of my product is being outrageous and outspoken so even when I'm not being that way I'm going to be sold that way."

But I saved the best for last. Megan Fox on Michael Bay. She says, "[Michael] wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. It's endearing to watch him. He's so vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set, he's a tyrant." Wow. You know what my first thought was? How in the hell did/does Brian Austin Green put up with her?



Oh, this is WHY he does/did.

The Shame of Reality Television
I have to admit that they are the perfect villain couple. I would love to fight him in the Octagon for charity. One day. One day. Heidi Montag wants to start a family with Spencer Pratt as soon as possible. "I think I'm ready," Heidi commented to MTV News. "I think I was born ready. I'm very maternal. I'm very loving. I would be the best mom ever. [Spencer doesn't feel] quite the same, but maybe he just doesn't know he wants kids yet. I think he never wants kids, but maybe I'll have a surprise for him." The thought of them having a child...let's just move on.

Did you hear about Pratt's name change to king? Off the top of my head I can't think of anything lamer. Montag and Spencer headed to the Roosevelt Hotel pool to celebrate his new self-appointed title of "King Pratt" and he donned a crown for the photo shoot while Heidi watched. Spencer's been touting his new "status" on Twitter all week, but he's also found time to start an all-out feud with Ryan Seacrest. Now THAT'S a catfight. Or douchefest. Take your pick. On his radio show, Ryan asked his audience which reality TV star they would most like to taser and offered Heidi as a suggestion. Spencer immediately started a Twitter rampage against Seacrest, calling for an apology and talking about how disgusted he was that Ryan would condone violence, especially against his wife. Ryan has yet to respond, but Spencer is still going strong. Can I vote for all three of them to get tased?



This is the best picture I could fine. My deepest apology to the donkey.

Is He? Or Isn't He? Whoa!
The big question of the week! Keanu Reeves is certain a Canadian woman is not his lover. The actor has agreed to submit to a DNA testing to prove he is not the father of any of Karen Sala's four adult children, the star's lawyer, Lorne Wolfson, confirmed to the Toronto Sun. "There will be a DNA test done within the next while," he said. Sala is asking for $150,000 per month in child support, retroactive from June 1988, as well as $3 million per month in spousal support retroactive. "This is not about revenge or an attack on his good character," she said outside the courthouse on Monday. "It's about closure and getting some peace. This is a personal." If only Maury Povich could throw together a special that gave the results. "You are NOT the father!" Then have Keanu run around the stage yelling, "Yeah! Yeah! I told you! I told you!" Then flip off the crowd and Sala would run to the back, crying. We could throw a swerve where Maury would turn to the camera and say, "Well if he's not...Who is?" Then the camera would pan to a guy in the crowd. That guy would be, who else, Alex Winter!

Playboy Stumbles...Again!
It seems like a week couldn't pass with me dropping some anti-nude news about Playboy. But to be fair, this one isn't their fault. Lindsay Lohan will not be titillating male fans anytime soon, the actress has again turned down a $1 million offer to pose nude for the magazine. Lohan was previously approached by editors at Hugh Hefner's men's magazine to strip off for Playboy's 55th Anniversary issue last year, but stated she wasn't interested. How come? Too much integrity? Too much class? Has more than enough money? The publication's bosses refused to give up and reportedly approached Lohan recently with a new proposal. But the actress, who bared all for a provocative New York magazine spread early in 2008, has declined the invitation once more. Her representative told GossipCop.com, "She's not considering it right now." That's not a no to me. So you're saying there's a chance?



She's one more direct-to-dvd movie bomb away from posing naked.

Bethenny Frankel NUDE! Wait. Who?
She might be D List but she's got all the qualities to upgrade to that C List! Spoiled. Self-centered. Reality Show. And she'll soon be naked for the world to see. Looks like winner to me! Bethenny Frankel from the Real Housewives of New York City is about to be nude on billboards across America as the reality personality posed for PETA this past week. TV Guide Magazine was on hand for the shoot and spoke to Frankel afterwards. Here are excerpts from their interview: On posing nude: That part doesn't bother me that much...it's like, everybody has a body, everyone's naked...I'm not a supermodel, no one's expecting me to be stunning....It's all good. I've always had a thick skin. I think it's a light-hearted, fun thing for a great cause. On involvement with PETA: I'm a huge animal lover, so it's been a very organic process. I'm not on the top of any soapbox, but I think this is just a really interesting thing, and they came to me...They trust that I'll be able to carry the message. On fellow Real Housewives of New York City: I keep in touch with Jill, and I've touched base with LuAnn because [of her separation], just to be like, "How you doing?" I've kept in touch with Ramona the same way. I don't keep in touch with Alex and Simon, I don't particularly care for them. We're not all best friends by any stretch of the imagination. After rereading this, I have to wonder why I put this in here...Oh wait. It's so I can run these pictures! Enjoy!



Take your pic...Blonde or Brunette!



And now it's time with the newest sensation on 411mania...The & 1 Model of the Week! That's right! Every week I'll invite a model to stop by for a quick review and share a delicious photo or two. All I ask is you keep it respectable in the comment section. These ladies WILL be checking to see the interview and I wouldn't want to scare them from telling a friend.

For Week 2 of the & 1 Model of the Week we take a little dip in the adult world. I hope you you're ready to get to know...LilMissKitty!



Ladies and Gentlemen, I present...LilMissKitty.

I might as well start off with the cliché...Great things come in small packages, but it's true when it comes to LilMissKitty. A true go-getter, she stays busy interacting with her many fans and entertaining the masses with her various social sites with her 32-22-30 measurements. I gleamed a few tidbits from her personal site. Looks like I'm her type! She likes her men tall, dark, and handsome! But there is a catch guys. She's not into video games or sports but does enjoy her McDonalds! And if it comes down to blindfold or handcuffs...Handcuffs win! Taking a break she was sweet enough to answer some questions from me.

Steve Gustafson: Hello and thanks for taking time to chat with me. Let's start off easy and tell me how you got started modeling.

LilMissKitty: My modeling career started at the age of 18. I attended a convention here in Los Angeles, CA and met numerous photographers that thought I was capable of being a model. It did not take long at all for me to contact one of the photographers. Living in Los Angeles though, what person here does not want to be a model or an actress?

SG: True. What have been some of your personal favorite highlights?

LMK: Some of my personal highlights of my career were the most amazing people I have met being in this industry. The benefits of people catering to you because they are fans of yours. I will always remember the first time I was recognized and the first fan mail I got.

SG: That's awesome. Which talent would you most like to have?

LMK: If there was a talent I wish I had, it would be singing. I always admire musicians and always wish I had that talent.

SG: Well, you certainly have many other talents I'm sure others wish that they had. What is the quality you most like in a man...A woman?

LMK: The best quality a man can ever have is the respect he shows a woman. The best quality a woman can have is a way she can cater to a man, or woman.

SG: Nice. What is your motto?

LMK: My motto? My life motto is never regret anything you do!

SG: Sounds good to me. What's the best way for fans to get in touch or find out more about you?

LMK: The best way for fans to get a hold of me is by my MySpace, which I personally check
www.myspace.com/lilmisskittydotcom or thought my cam site www.socalgirlslive.com.

Thanks again to LilMissKitty. Make sure you visit her MySpace and if you are over 18 you can check out her other offerings. She's a great gal with lots of spirit and energy. Stop back next week for another & 1 Model of the Week!
