BEFORE WE BEGIN...
Welcome back to another edition of the Hollywood 5 & 1! I'm Steve Gustafson, and this spot to be to get your fill of celebrity gossip. It saves you the embarrassment of looking at the magazines while checking out at the grocery store. Trust me, I get stares.
Ok, so usually I jump into the news and glaze over personal stuff about me. I figure that if you want to know more about me you'd be my friend on Facebook or something. That's www.facebook.com/stevegustafson if you were interested. BUT something happened this week that I have to share since it effects the very column you are reading. I had a stint in the hospital on Tuesday and ended up with a nice diagnosis of swine flu, pneumonia, and sinusitis. Triple crown! As you can imagine, the mixture has made me weak and tired but I just couldn't see myself not getting this done FOR YOU! Enjoy it while and I can't wait to read this when I'm off my meds!
Paranormal Activity is making waves. You can catch me review here. Let me know what YOU thought. It's getting its wide release, so watch for it!
Two weeks in a row! I jumped over to the GAME section again here at 411mania, and participated in their Top PlayStation 1 Games.
Sad news. This week Chuck Liddell gave it his all but it wasn't good enough to keep him from getting cut. Still, huge props to Chuck. He was a great ambassador for the UFC and I believe he did a solid job of changing more than a couple of peoples minds when it comes to how MMA is looked at. Let's enjoy one more pic of Chuck, shall we!
Thanks for the memories, Chuck!
WHO SAID WHAT? "Never! I'm not going do it (a Baywatch movie). I liked the TV show. I don't like it when they (producers) ruin it by making a movie out of it."
Pamela Anderson has warned movie bosses not to "ruin" her Baywatch by taking it to the big screen, insisting she would refuse to reprise her role. Anderson reprised her role in 2003 made-for-tv movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding.
Baywatch without Pamela? Yay or Nay?
CELEBRITY TWITTER-A-GO-GO!
Twitter news! Twitter news, right here! Each week I scan the headlines, looking for news and tweets, so I can deliver them to you. This week we look at the RIGHT way to use Twitter to market. Paranormal Activity not only is making a dent at the box office, but it's inspiring Hollywood to share THEIR views on it. Check it out!
Tyrese Gibson (Transformers)

5 THINGS ABOUT SCARLETT JOHANSSON YOU DIDN'T KNOW!
She's always in the main event when it comes time to list the sexiest actress, but how much do we know about the woman married to Ryan Reynolds? Let's get to know Scarlett Johansson a little better.
1. She made her film debut at age nine as John Ritter's daughter in the 1994 fantasy comedy North. 2. Johansson has an older sister, Vanessa, who is an actress; an older brother, Adrian; a twin brother, Hunter, and a half-brother, Christian. 3. She had a very brief appearance in the Mandy Moore video for her single "Candy". 4. Johansson's ex-boyfriend and member of the band Steel Train, Jack Antonoff, wrote lyrics that refer to Johansson in the song "Better Love." 5. Johansson is a Global Ambassador for the aid and development agency, Oxfam.
And now you know...
Hello Black Widow!
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.
Falcon Heene has done a lot of being a little kid. He and his fam will be making a couple of appearances this week. Check out this first little clip. This is what started off the crazy adventure of the...HEENE FAMILY MARCH TO GET THEIR OWN REALITY SHOW OR BUST! Take notes!
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 plus our "& 1" Model of the Week! Let's go!
On-Off-On-Off-On-Off-On Again! John Mayer has been distracted with his new music, but that's not the only thing keeping him busy, he's apparently rekindled his romance with Jennifer Aniston! SAY WHAT? Yeah, the duo is rumored to have recently double-dated with her pals Courteney Cox and David Arquette, as things heat up again after their last split in March. If you need to update your scorecards, let's take a look at Aniston's past! Among the names she's been rumored to have been with include Gerald Butler, Orlando Bloom, Paul Sculfor, Vince, Brad Pitt, Paul Rudd, Tate Donovan, and Adam Duritz. Want to hear something sad? I know I've missed a few. Still, Mr. Mayer is no stranger to romance in all the wrong places! He can claim Vanessa Carlton, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Rachel Stevens, Rhona Mitra, Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz, Minka Kelly, and Scheana Marie. WHOA! Between them, all of Hollywood can be connected in the who-kissed-who game. Make sure to use protection, ya'll!
Let's get the wedding bell rumors started!
Curse of the TERMINATOR!
I'm sure we can do a study to find even more evidence! The DUI bust of Sarah Connor Chronicles star Thomas Dekker is just another name on the wall in a series of incidents to befall an actor playing John Connor. Edward Furlong starred as Connor in T-2, and went on to be arrested for DUI, paid some visits to rehab, and had a temporary restraining order filed against him by his estranged wife. Christian Bale took on the role of Connor in Terminator Salvation, and an audio tape surfaced of his infamous on-set rant towards a crew member. Someone better get Terminator 3 star Nick Stahl on the phone and warn him! What do you think? Curse? No curse? Bad decision making?
The curse...will be back!
Lohan Back in Spotlight...of the Law! Lindsay Lohan still has it! If in case you don't remember, the troubled actress had been placed on probation after pleading guilty to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine and no contest to two counts of drunken driving and one count of reckless driving. As a result of the 2007 convictions, she was ordered to complete an 18-month alcohol education program, serve 24 hours in jail and perform 10 days of community service while on 36 months probation. Lohan was ordered back to court on Friday after a probation report found she failed to comply to attend alcohol counselling. The court was told she had failed to attend the required treatment because she had been busy with work. As a result her three-year probation was extended by another year, Los Angeles Superior Court was told. Dressed in a white jacket and black trousers, she showed little emotion as Judge Marsha Revel warned her she would be sent to jail unless she immediately attended. "This is the last time we are going to be talking about re-enrolling and doing what you need to do," she told the actress. "This has to be a top priority. I would love to congratulate you rather than admonish you." I don't know, I think Lohan has a better chance at a reality show about prison and an acting career.
Was she trying to scare the court or get pity?
Three Amigos!
Here's a funny little story. John Stamos, Bob Saget and legendary comedian Don Rickles came to the rescue on Wednesday when John's Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie was brought to a halt by technical difficulties. Stamos was performing in the last preview of the musical in New York, before its big opening on Thursday, but the curtain had to come down midway through the show when a piece of scenery fell onto the tracks of the rotating stage, grinding it to a stop. The curtain then fell and the house lights came up, but a moment later Stamos reappeared. "I was just ready to sing ‘Happy Face' and everything went to shit," he cracked, reminding the audience that the show was about to open. But he ran out of material pretty quickly, and had to turn to some notable audience members for help. Seated in the row behind us was Rickles. "Don, save me baby," Stamos called out. "I need you, baby." "Get a haircut, John!" Rickles called back from his seat, later asking, "Are they gonna fix it or is this going to be a weekend?" Stamos also turned to Saget for assistance, calling him onto the stage for an impromptu comedy session. Since there was only one microphone, Stamos instructed Saget to talk "into my head." "Like that's the first time that's happened," Saget shot back. "I'm really glad your crotch is not miked." After a few minutes, Birdie co-star Gina Gershon appeared in front of the curtain with a poster of Stamos from his teen idol days. Saget: "Gina, do something from Showgirls!" The crowd was getting restless. "Uncle Jesse!" some cried out. Others raised their hands. "I'm not taking questions," Stamos smirked. Gershon reappeared, and asked Saget what it was like to work on Full House with Stamos. "It was really special, kind of like Brokeback Mountain, but a sitcom," he replied. "Don?" Stamos called out again, looking defeated. "I'm too old for this!" Rickles cried back. "This is a Twitter moment," Saget quipped. "It's a career-ending moment," Stamos replied. After roughly twenty minutes, the show went on. (There were no further incidents, though the intermission stretched to a full half-hour.)
Now I could watch a show with these three!
Second Verse, Same as the First!
Another week where I have to ask...HOAX or REAL? Even though as more comes out, it seems like it was planned all along. I mean, how many shows has this family been on already? What started out as a heart wrenching out of control balloon tragedy is quickly becoming a new, and twisted, way to get attention and angle for your own reality show. Father Richard Heene is a professional storm chaser and the family are no strangers to TV, they appeared on an episode of the reality show Wife Swap. Check out this clip and see the slip that may have the family go from sympathy to just pitiful.
Welcome one and all to the & 1 Model of the Week! From time to time, I'll invite a model to stop by for a quick interview but will share a delicious photo or two EVERY week. 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.
Week 8 of the & 1 Model of the Week brings us a MySpace pioneer...Christine Dolce! Where's she been, right? Proclaimed "The Queen of MySpace" she hit it big (and fast) and it seems she peaked with a nice little Playboy spread.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present...Christin Dolce!
If nothing more, this gives you an excuse to log onto MySpace!
Stop back next week for another & 1 Model of the Week!

Wasn't it Rickles that starred with Stamos in that show before Full House. About a father and son who live together. Maybe it wasn't Rickles. Come to think of it, it might have been Jack-off Klugman. Oh well, who cares, really?
