Posted by Steve Gustafson on 11.14.2009
Lot's of news about the biggest celebrity wrecks today! From the Lohan family to Levi Johnston and Job Gosselin! Carrie Prejean keeps digging herself deeper! Fergie versus the stripper! Who's the bigger idiot: Richard Heene or Nick Prugo? 5 things about Jennifer Lopez and Tiffani Thiessen is our "& 1" Model of the Week!
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. I read through all this stuff, so you don't have to. From what I hear, it's the NUMBER ONE GOSSIP REPORT on 411mania!
The time is near! We are a little over a week away from me taking over The Big Screen Bulletin from Chad Webb! Mark your calendar, tell a friend, and prepare...411mania will never be the same...AGAIN!
OK, it probably will, but I like the dramatic flair. Seriously though, check me out each and every Monday!
Can you believe it's NOVEMBER already? Wow. And you know it's about that time...Thanksgiving is almost upon us. And what better way to celebrate than with helping? A dear friend and classmate of mine, Courtney, is involved with a great cause. One that I like so much that I would like to share with you. Here she is to say a few words:
$15 Provides a Winter Coat for a Homeless Child. Nearly 14 million children in the United States, 19% of all children, live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level. $21,200 for a family of four. Research shows that families need an income of about twice that level to cover basic expenses. For the cost of 3 lattes, you can give a child the gift of warmth and hope this winter. Your one time tax-deductible donation of $15 provides one needy child with a brand new winter coat through Operation Warm. As we approach Thanksgiving, let us all reflect upon the things for which we are grateful. Please give according to what you are able to give. www.firstgiving.com/warmchild
Thank you so much.
Thank YOU, Courtney!

She's been in the news a lot! Check out my interview with Riley Steele! I talk to her about working on Piranha 3-D and life at Digital Playground. Head over here to read it.
My how time flies. Remember Tiffani Thiessen from a little show called Saved by the Bell? Of course you do! Here she was...
And check her out in the "& 1" Model of the Week below to see her semi-recently.
One more thing. How about a fun little trivia question to kick things off? A sort of WHO AM I? Can you guess the actress who is banned from Wal-Mart for life following a teenage shoplifting bust. In a 2008 this starlet got the lifetime rejection after being caught swiping a $7 tube of lip gloss during a shoplifting spree. Name that actress! Answer at the bottom!
WHO SAID WHAT? "I went to Santa Barbara and I found out that it was a big party school, and I just didn't seem to fit in. So after I came back, I started going to San Diego Christian College, and that's where I felt at home...I think that was at a Christian school where it's cool to study on Friday nights, and you don't have the pressure of going out and drinking, and you are surrounded by people who have the same interests as you. That was a big turning point in my life, when I started going to the Rock, when I was about 18."
Headline maker of the moment Carrie Prejean on when she traded her wild teenage behavior for Christianity. Catch her appearance on Larry King below!
Amen!
CELEBRITY TWITTER-A-GO-GO!
Are you on Twitter? Why not? You get to read what REAL CELEB'S THINK! You can be a part of the story. Well, maybe not. But here's a tidbit of what you are missing:
Here's a little Facebook action! Actress Kate Walsh is warning fans not to befriend hackers posing as her online, after an impostor duped her neighbour with messages on a fake Facebook page. Walsh was left shocked and disturbed when she found out an online fake had planned a dinner date with her next door neighbour. She explains, "There are people out there apparently pretending to be me...(My neighbour) was like...'You said you were going to come over and have wine and hang out, on your Facebook. My wife is a huge fan and we've been Facebooking you.'" And Walsh admits she had to see the messages herself to believe the scam: "He showed me his computer and somebody is pretending to be me on Facebook." Welcome to the club! You're famous now!
Speaking of club. Britney Spears and Beelzebub? If you follow her on Twitter then you got some surprising tweets recently. Hackers appear to have struck the singer's account on Thursday, altering her wallpaper and posting the following tweets:
"I give myself to Lucifer every day for it to arrive as quickly as possible. Glory to Satan!"
"i hope that the new world order will arrive as soon as possible! -Britney"
The Illuminati wallpaper and offending tweets were quickly removed. #DontHackBritneySpears later appeared as a popular trending topic on Twitter. Such occurrences are not rare in the celebrity twitterverse and it's not the first time @BritneySpears has been targeted by hackers. In June, a tweet was posted claiming that the pop star had died. Those pesky hackers.
And a little follow up from last week. John Mayer has wandered into the controversy plaguing Spears in Australia, where critics in the media have blasted her for lip-synching on her Circus tour. On Saturday, Mayer, who happens to be down under to promote his own album, Tweeted the following: "If you're shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you." Que the Mayer and Britney are secretly seeing each other rumors right...about...NOW!
Still not as bad as shaving your head and attacking people with an umbrella.
This is the perfect time to remind you that you can follow me and 411mania on Twitter with a quick click!
BATTLE OF THE IDIOTS!
So much idiocy out of Tinseltown this week, I don't know where to begin! How about a good ole fashioned VS match? Please VOTE at the bottom. First, in this corner: Richard Heene. Mr. Heene's attorney issued a statement explaining how Richard will plead guilty Friday morning to an offense of attempting to influence a public servant, a felony. His wife, Mayumi, will plead guilty to false reporting to authorities, a misdemeanor. The Heenes could receive jail time for the charges stemming from the infamous Oct. 16 incident, but Richard's attorney claims the prosecutor has only recommended probation. Jail time for them? We could be so lucky! Really, what about the kids? How messed up are they going to be now with THIS hanging over their heads? "Hey, weren't you the balloon boy?"
And in this corner: Burglar Bunch suspect Nick Prugo proved himself to be a bigger idiot when taking a photo of himself wearing what looks to be Paris Hilton's stolen necklace and then taunting the heiress with a few choice words. TMZ obtained the picture Prugo took of himself while flossing a "P" necklace which looks exactly like the one Paris bought last year when she was dating Benji Madden. Prugo even had the stones to write the following message on the pic: "Hey Paris, look familiar?" I can't believe this guy actually made me side with Paris.
Alright, who wins it this week?
VOTE BELOW!
5 THINGS ABOUT JENNIFER LOPEZ YOU DIDN'T KNOW!
Her sexy self is back in the spotlight. Funny what some rumored sexy sex tapes can do! Let's get to know Jennifer Lopez a little better, shall we?
1. After attending Baruch College for one semester, Lopez divided her time between working in a legal office, dance classes, and dance performances in Manhattan night clubs. 2. Lopez's first television job as an actress was on the Fox series South Central. 3. She has had high-profile relationships with Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Sean Combs, Ben Affleck, and Marc Anthony. 4. Two independent films produced by Lopez were well-received at film festivals: El Cantante at the Toronto International Film Festival, and Bordertown at the Brussels film festival. 5. On February 14, 2007, Lopez received the Artists for Amnesty International award.
And now you know...
I tried making this photo smaller, but just couldn't do it!
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. Special Forces Sniper Tim Kennedy and Recon Marine Jon Walsh showcase their professional mixed martial arts skills in real combat. NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART!
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!
Them Lohan Folk Are at it Again! YEE-HAW!
They just don't stop, do they? You have to wonder what ever happened to common sense? Because this family doesn't have one ounce of it. Michael Lohan could wind up behind bars for his "oh-so-wise" decision to release secret recordings of his family's phone conversations, because it appears he wasn't legally allowed to be on the calls in the first place. It's all over a protective order Dina Lohan obtained in Nassau County, New York back in 2005, which bans Michael from communicating with Dina by email or phone until 2011. Now, the release of the tapes, one of which was reportedly made in 2008, could be a smoking gun, proving Michael broke the rules of the protective order, and, if convicted, it could score Michael some quality time in prison. PLEASE! PLEASE! Attorneys for Dina have already contacted the Nassau County District Attorney in connection with the audio tapes.
AND THAT'S NOT ALL! Thursday night outside Voyeur, Lindsay turned a paparazzi picture fest into an opportunity to publicly slam daddy Lohan. She was recorded saying, "Guys why don't you go find my dad, he's the one that wants the pictures." EVEN BETTER: While Lindsay took a swipe at her dad, her driver lightly hit the car in front of them and then drove away. I don't know what you call it, but that's a hit-and-run to me.
The made-for-TV movie about their life is going to be unbelievable!
Good For Her.
You know, every week I talk about the crazy news out of Hollywood. Who's going to jail. Who's sleeping with who. Who's crashing into what. It grinds on you. It makes you jaded. So when something good comes along, I usually ignore it, because, really, who wants to read about that when it comes to celebrity news? Look at the week Taylor Swift has had. First, she did a bang up job on Saturday Night Live. Hey! Don't be life that. It's OK to admit that you laughed. I did. Second, she's been rumored to have begun a romance with Taylor Lautner. Good for her. Just more ammo for her songs. Third, her sweep of the CMA awards. That's all positive stuff. Even her attitude was just right. "Tonight I'm just gonna dance around with my band and my crew and my label," she said after winning Entertainer of the Year. "I'm going to go hang out with my crew and my band and the people at my record label, and we're going to hug and dance and jump up and down," she also told People. So sweet, right? Someone owes Kanye West a thank you!
Please refrain from any obvious Kanye jokes in the comments. Thank you.
Her? Really?
If it is true, then I lose even more respect for him. You cheat up, not down. That's a fact. Prior to tabloid reports that her husband Josh Duhamel had an affair with an Atlanta stripper, Fergie, aka Stacy Ferguson, told the Advocate magazine that she has some strict rules about cheating in her marriage. That interview now appears in the December-January issue. Fergie told the magazine that her rules for cheating also apply for same-sex relationships. "I've had a lot of fun with women, and I'm not ashamed of it," she said. "But just because I enjoy women doesn't mean I'm allowed to have affairs in my relationship." Fergie said she came to this conclusion with the help of a therapist and that she has shared her history of same sex relationships with her husband Josh. "I learned through talking with my therapist that it is still cheating even if it's with girls, so there is a rule there." The interview has been released amid rumors that Duhamel had an affair with Nicole Forrester. Fergie has released a statement calling the stripper's allegations "nonsense."
Forrester has used Extra to send an apology to Fergie. "I thought, 'Nobody's gonna find out. It's not gonna hurt anybody," she said. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I didn't think of it like I think of it now." Nicole says she met Duhamel at an Atlanta strip club while he was filming Live As We Know It. Duhamel has dismissed her claims as "ridiculous." So, for those keeping score, this is all just "ridiculous" "nonsense". But Nicole says her ex-lover still texts her things like, "Wow, you are scared?" to which she keeps responding with the unlikely, "I don't want any part of this." A single mother of two, Nicole says she hasn't stripped since selling her story to the National Enquirer because her kids have asked her to stop bringing shame upon their family! "My son, he went to a football game last Saturday and he was like, mom, 'you're disgusting. I didn't know you had sex with him,'" she said. So, how was Duhamel? Nicole was not impressed by his skills in the sack. "As far as the best sex? No, I don't think that was it," she said. Man, he just can't win.
Another VS challenge! Who would YOU pick?
Bosom Buddies Remake?
Two douches in one story! How do I do it? All we need is Spencer Pratt and you have a trifecta! Levi Johnston says he has a lot in common with Jon Gosselin. I guess Y-Level celeb's have to look up to someone. "He's a good guy," Johnston told People. "He's kind of in the same situation I am right now. He's a good dad and he gets a lot of bad press. He's getting the same bad image as I am and it ain't true. I can relate to that." Right. Man, do you think they just go blind to reality once they get a certain level of attention? Johnston met Gosselin in New York on Nov. 8, and even received some parenting tips from the dad of eight, which might come in handy if he wins his suit to gain joint custody of his child with Bristol Palin. "I'm planning on going to acting school and try acting," he said. Wait. What did he just say? NO! I've been doing this long enough to know where this is going. Prepare for Levi + Jon Meet the Octomom! Have mercy on our souls.
"Maybe if we say nice things about each other, people will buy it."
Carrie VS Larry!
How much longer does she have in the headlines? I don't know, but she's been entertaining so far. Take this, for example. Carrie Prejean takes her microphone off and chastises Larry King for being "inappropriate" in his line of questioning. Really? She's calling him "inappropriate"? Looks like someone is listening to their publicist too much and not enough to that voice in her head. Oh, Carrie.

Do you realize that Tiffani's initials are T.A.T.? As in "I'll tat that ass"
Posted By: TheR (Guest) on November 14, 2009 at 02:11 AM
Rapid fire...
That first picture of Tiffani Thiessen is drool worthy.
Carrie Prejean is the ultimate "Hot until she opens her mouth" chick. At any rate, Vivid will soon release that sex tape and I will be a happy man!
If John Mayer really was dating Britney, that would be awesome. He has quietly nailed some of the hottest chicks on the planet. But for some reason I still like him and I kinda root for him to pull as much hot tail as he can. He's like a sports team in the sport of bagging elite hotties!
That JLo pic HAS to be photo-shopped or airbrushed, right? Humans aren't really built that way. If that's real, then we need to go to a baseball game together because that ass could hold nachos, 2 hot dogs and a large beer.(which would cost roughly $50 at Fenway Park btw)
The MMA video was kinda funny. Kinda.
Is that LiLo pic allowed on here? It's awesome, I'm just sayin...
Taylor Swift holding a guitar looks about as authentic as Britney Spears with a "live" mic.
I'm gonna have to pick Fergie here, but I don't like it...
Maybe Jon and Levi can star in the sequel to Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. It'll be called Shanghai Publicity Whores.
Megan Fox is criminally overrated.
Kanye West told the best ever joke about Kanye West, so I'll just quote him, "I'm the voice of my generation."

Let me guess, the photoshop artist that did Jennifer's botch job is a sexually freaked out white-boy working for no-talent starlets' agent. You can try and try, as wickedness is a full time job, but they still have no future. HA HA HA!
Posted By: Mena (Guest) on November 14, 2009 at 10:18 AM
There's just something about that Lopez booty. I can't put my finger on it and that's the problem.
Posted By: The Great Capt. Smooth (Guest) on November 14, 2009 at 10:46 AM
The first pic of recent Tiffani Thiessen with the major camel toe....totally awesome!!! I got my new background picture.
Posted By: The Truth (Guest) on November 14, 2009 at 12:24 PM
Holy crap! Amber is hiz-ot! Nice little camel toe and all.
Poor Carrie. She looks more and more like a tool every interview she does. I'm lookin forward to the solo play tape
Posted By: GeeSpotter (Guest) on November 14, 2009 at 01:00 PM
I believe I saw a little camel toe from tiffani, man she just got hotter with age
Posted By: Cody (Guest) on November 14, 2009 at 01:44 PM
Tiffani Thiessen mad airbrushing on the new photos. She still looks awesome though.
