The Hollywood 5 & 1 01.02.10: Celebrity Predictions!
Posted by Steve Gustafson on 01.02.2010
This week I make my Celebrity Predictions for 2010! Charlies Sheen can't avoid the law and I go over the Tiger Woods sponsor situation! Walt Disney's kin isn't so magical and Jermaine Jackson talks about a conspiracy! It's the battle of the Buffy babes in VS., 5 things about Michelle Trachtenberg, and Natalie Portman is our "& 1" Model of the Week! All this and more inside!
BEFORE WE BEGIN...
Happy New Year! Hope 2010 has received you well and you survived the holiday season. I'm Steve Gustafson and this is the place to visit to get your fill of celebrity gossip, pictures of hot ladies, and my attempt at wit. I read through all the tabloid magazines and gossip sites so you don't have to. It's my lot in life.
If you like me here (or even if you don't), each and every Monday you can catch my Big Screen Bulletin here at 411mania. Take a peek over here. This coming Monday will have a brand new format, so check it out!
I don't know how it happened but this seems to be my spot to put on the "Remember her..." cap. I'm still unpacking from my move and hooked up my old BETA machine. Some of you probably don't even know what that is. Think of a VHS but cooler. Anyways, I found a tape of old episodes from Buck Rogers series. I forgot how awesome that show was! Plus, it was stacked with hot ladies. One who stood out, besides the lovely Erin Gray, was Pamela Hensley. Whoa. She oozed sexy on the small screen! How did she get away with wearing some of those outfits? This is one kitty who really knew how to purr.
I really wish I had a time machine right now.
WHO SAID WHAT? "That's something I really want to do next. I want to be outside my box and try different things."
Kim Kardashian talking about her main goal for 2010. Focus on her career, and producing television. I can imagine what kind of television she's looking to produce.
I don't know. She doesn't give off a "producer" vibe to me.
VS
What a way to kick off 2010! I'm a writer of the people and when you all wanted some Buffy, who am I to disappoint? C'mon! How about I break up the Buffy babes over the next couple of weeks. But let's start it strong with the BIG 3! Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, and Charisma Carpenter! This won't be an easy one! Next week I'll have the Buffy second string coming your way.
CELEBRITY TWITTER-A-GO-GO!
New Year's Eve provided the perfect opportunity for celeb's to Twitter their well wishes to the world. Here's a sample of the inspired words:
Lindsay Lohan, who appeared to Tweet from the skies. "Sending love, peace, and prosperity to all ;)," she wrote, posting a photo of herself on a plane.
Sean "Diddy Combs revealed he was helping to make New Year's Eve safe for many by getting his liquor brand to sponsor rides home. "CIROC To Pay 4 Thousands Of Cabs On New Year's Eve.. Lets Drink Responsibly and bring in the New Year Right," he wrote, adding "2010 let's go!!!!!!"
Paris Hilton got ready for the big night by hitting the slopes in Aspen. "I Love New Years! So excited!" she added.
John Lithgow: "Happy New Year, everyone. Fine things coming our way."
Jamie Pressly: "Happy New year!! i love you!! miss you ! come see us!!! xoox JP"
Omar Epps: "Beach + Goose = Happy New Year! Enjoy tweeps! Big tings a gwan in 2010!"
Michael Chiklis: "Happy new year everyone! I wish you health, happiness and peace for this and all the coming new years."
Christina Applegate: "Happy New Year's eve! What's everybody doing? Me? Quiet night at home."
Randy Jackson: "Happy NEW Years eve! Hope evryone has a wondrful time 2night. Leave your old stuff in the past & starting out fresh is always good! Be safe!"
5 THINGS ABOUT MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG YOU DIDN'T KNOW! Jason Douglas, this is for you! You were right! She's growing up right in front of us. Let's get to know Michelle Trachtenberg a little better, shall we?
1. Trachtenberg can speak Russian fluently. 2. She appeared in her first credited role as Nona F. Mecklenberg in The Adventures of Pete & Pete. 3. Trachtenberg once said she has a crush on Hugh Laurie, and guest starred on House. In the scene on the elevator in which House searches her genital area for a tick, Trachtenberg said she played a joke on Laurie by putting a note between her legs that read "I ♥ You". 4. She attended Notre Dame High School with Katharine McPhee, Rachel Bilson, and Kirsten Dunst. 5. She is currently appearing on the NBC drama Mercy.
And now you know...
Have mercy, indeed!
VIDEO-O-GO-GO
The title of this is the 10 Scariest TV Logos of All Time. Eh. Not so creepy. But what got me was the budding "scary logo" market. On the side they have a rack of others with their picks for scary logos. How odd.
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!
Celebrity Predictions for 2010!
As a disclaimer: I am not a licensed psychic. These predictions are done in fun and have no basis on fact or science. If any of these come true chalk it up to luck. Now let's see...looking at my zirconium ball here...
Tracy Morgan will pull a "Kanye West" at the Oscar ceremony while Alec Baldwin is talking. It won't go over well.
In order to regain the attention from the tabloids, another Paris Hilton sex tape will be "leaked".
Tiger Woods and Charles Sheen will star in a reality show together. Make your own joke.
Male celebrity feuds will be the new "in" thing in 2010. Expect to see a war of words between Christian Bale and George Clooney, Mel Gibson and Will Ferrell, and Luke and Owen Wilson.
Lindsay Lohan will be arrested.
Joaquin Phoenix will shave his beard, give coherent interviews, and go on to make a huge return to Hollywood. His rap album will considered to be an underground classic.
Mark Wahlberg will record another music CD. But not as Marky Mark. It will be an instrumental with him playing drums.
Cameron Diaz will get married. John Mayer will remain single.
Megan Fox will start dating Gerard Butler. They will break up when he finds out she's easily distracted by shining objects, making her driving a risky proposition.
Neil Patrick Harris will continue to be AWESOME! (With respect and copyright to Stephen Randle)
What are YOUR 2010 celebrity predictions? And I have a feeling yours will be pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. Sorry, I have Curb Your Enthusiasm on in the background.
Nobody puts Charlie in the corner!
As much as I kidded about the Tiger Woods situation with jabs at Charlie Sheen, you have to admit the timing is crazy. Brooke Mueller might have second thoughts about testifying against Sheen, but that doesn't mean that there aren't prosecutors who are going to let the Christmas Day altercation drop. Speaking on Good Morning America, criminal defense attorney Roy Black explained, "There's no question they can proceed without her cooperation...because they can use her statements, her 911 call." Not good for Charlie. But you know me! Guilty onto proven! Brooke's allegations claim that Charlie straddled her on their bed and held a knife to her throat, while threatening to have her killed. Brooke hasn't exactly taken back her story, but she has tried to downplay it. Her lawyer has said that the incident was "one bad night," and recently told People magazine, "Brooke and Charlie are very passionate about each other, they love each other and want to try and save their marriage. They had a bad night and want to get beyond it. They want to try and resolve their issues." Passionate. What a word to describe a violent night. Brooke's lawyer added, "They have absolutely gorgeous little babies and will do all they can to work out their problems. I filed papers so the couple can see each other immediately and work through the issues. I hope to meet with Charlie's lawyer in court in the next day or so, but probably not before Monday." UPDATE: Looks like it's pushed back to January 11th. Hey, bottomline, I hope they get the help they need. And leave the crazy husband/wife stuff to the pros. Like Tiger.
You're nobody till somebody spoofs you.
Who's Afraid of a Tiger?
And that story rolls into this one. You know, I have to say this again. I never, ever thought I would have the name Tiger Woods and "sex scandal" in the same sentence. The sex scandal surrounding golfer Tiger Woods has put sports marketers and sponsors in a tight spot. Do they stick with him and risk alienating consumers and have the prospect of more allegations coming out? Dump him and miss the money train if/when he makes a comeback and gains the public trust again. Here's a rundown of some of his bigger sponsors.
Accenture: OUT! The consulting firm was the first to cut ties with Woods.
Tag Heuer: The Swiss watchmaker has said that "in light of recent news, including that Tiger Woods has decided to take an indefinite leave from golf, over the coming weeks we will assess our options with Tiger Woods...regarding our long-term relationship." Just like the Swiss.
AT&T: See ya, Tiger!
Gillette: No word yet but Procter & Gamble, Gillette's parent company, is no fan of controversy.
Gatorade: PepsiCo, Gatorade's parent, has said it will drop its Tiger Focus drink though the company insists it made that decision before the scandal. Gatorade is noncommittal about its 2010 plans.
Electronic Arts: EA has publicly supported Woods. They have a lot of dough tied into Woods.
Upper Deck: "Tiger and his family have our full support," said Richard McWilliam, founder and CEO of Upper Deck. "We look forward to his eventual return to the PGA Tour."
Nike: Same boat as EA. They have too much invested in Tiger to leave.
As the Tiger turns!
The Magical World of Disney!
Doing the family proud. Actually, I guess he's the black sheep of the family. Walt Disney's grandson pled not guilty to 24 felonies in Van Nuys Superior Court. 24! Those Disney folk don't do anything half-assed, do they? Patrick Disney Miller was arrested earlier this month after cops busted him for possession of ammunition, a violation of his parole from a 2005 drug conviction. Prosecutors tacked on 23 felonies, including 19 counts of possession of a firearm by a felon, one count of possession of an illegal assault weapon and three counts of possession of a controlled substance with a firearm. Miller, who was free on $35,000 bail, was taken into custody after the hearing and his bail was upped to $550,000. I guess you could say he's a little...goofy? Or maybe a tad...grumpy?
He looks like an extra for the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Fun With Jermaine Jackson!
Jermaine Jackson. You want to feel for the guy but you see right through him. It's not just me, right? You get the vibe he misses the spotlight and will do whatever it takes to get it back. Grabbing an opportunity to throw out his two cents. TMZ? The FBI? C'mon, is this all necessary? What do you think?
Welcome back to the & 1 Model of the Week! Where we search this thing called the internet to find a lovely lady to appreciate in all her beauty.
The & 1 Model of the Week brings us...Natalie Portman! Over the holidays I caught a lot of flicks with Natalie so she's been on my brain. I didn't think you all would mind. So let's enjoy some of her goodness!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present...Natalie Portman!
Beauty AND bendable!
Stop back next week for another & 1 Model of the Week!
Before I say GOODBYE!

Allyson, Charisma or Sarah... hmm I'll all of them.
Also props for picking up Natalie Portman - she's always a nice view for the eye.
Wtf with the picture of the woman left of Tiger? She looks like Undertaker doing his roll out eyes

Only TWO pictures of Ms Portman?!? That's a terrible oversight! She is perfect. Stunning beauty and brains!!
Posted By: the dude (Guest) on January 02, 2010 at 12:33 AM
that first Natalie Portman pic is LEGEN...DARY!! (Had NPH on my mind after that pic of him and Elmo)
And as for the Buffy babes, Allison Hannigan FTW!
Posted By: dan (Guest) on January 02, 2010 at 12:40 AM
Sarah Michelle Gellar.
I have been hung up on that girl for, like, ever.
Posted By: Tommy (Guest) on January 02, 2010 at 01:10 AM
SMG for the win!
Posted By: Guest#7406 (Guest) on January 02, 2010 at 08:58 AM
- Neil Patrick Harris will stop being awesome
- Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie or Britney Spears will die
- Miley Cyrus will complete her turn to the dark side
- Michael C. Hall will win an award for Dexter
- 30 Rock will not win an award
- Blu-Ray will not end DVD
- Another "Benoit" incident will occur, but not in pro-wrestling.

Kim Kardashian is a great producer...of erections. I have to go with Charisma on the Buffy vote. An idea I had for a vote would be where your readers would say their first childhood "pop culture" crush. You could list them and then we vote for the best. The first one to make me tingle down there was Mary Poppins. I don't know what it was, but if Dick Van Dyke's "Bert" can nail her(and you know he did), then you know she'd be pretty easy. Just an idea.

You know, after reading about how you were challenging spencer pratt(no caps for him), I didn't get it. Last night I saw him on E feuding with every host on the show and I sincerely hope that you, or someone else, knocks his pretentious ass out! I second your mission sir!
Posted By: RED (Guest) on January 02, 2010 at 11:14 AM
Was never a fan of Alyson before, but she's gotten hot on HIMYM. It's still a tossup though between Sarah and Charisma
Posted By: Guest#5236 (Guest) on January 02, 2010 at 12:37 PM
@slurper & the dude, never fear. More pictures of Natalie will turn up in the 5 & 1.
@Guest#6883, nice predictions. But no love for NPH? C'mon!
@The Great Captain, INCREDIBLE producer joke. I'll be stealing that for future use. And a great idea about "pop culture" crush.
@RED, thank you sir. When the day comes and I knock him out, I'll look at the camera and say, "That's for us, Red!"
As far as the Buffy babe battle...Too close to call!
Posted By: stevethegoose (Registered) on January 02, 2010 at 02:05 PM
I agree with you on Jermaine. He always seems to be the one to "speak" for the family. He was the one on Larry King (and every other talk show) after MJ died. Heck, I only caught the first two episodes of the Jackson reality show and he was the one who seemed to be causing all the drama.
I gotta go with Charisma.
If I was Tiger Woods, when he comes back and starts winning again and the companies who dropped him start crawling back, I would charge them at least double whatever they were paying him originally.
If you got access to the RTN Network, they show episodes of Buck Rogers every Saturday night.

Thanks for the Michelle Trachtenberg feature Goose! While I don't usually eye women much younger than myself, if I were Hugh Laurie I certainly would have reciprocated her interest. I'm sure she will be in next week's group, along with Tara and that red headed babe Glory the "God" from that one season. She was REALLY my type. And of course Faith.
My vote for this VS group is Alyson Hannigan. Buffy had great legs when the series started, but got too skinny. Willow was crazy hot when she broke out, and her shyness put her past Cordelia easily.
Natalie Portman is a great &1 choice; another babe I've grown up with.
I assume you're running out of Nigella Lawson pics, since of course we can't get enough of her! She's so hot she could boil water without turning the stove on.
Posted By: Jason Douglas (Guest) on January 02, 2010 at 04:58 PM
Charisma Carpenter all the way!
Posted By: Ramone (Guest) on January 02, 2010 at 08:29 PM
SMG handsdown and other things up.
Posted By: Guest#5859 (Guest) on January 03, 2010 at 08:41 AM
Then: Charisma. Now: Willow. Aliyson Hannigan has better style and a great look on HIMYSM.
Posted By: El Jefe (Guest) on January 03, 2010 at 02:24 PM
Charisma Carpenter wins that fight every time. Alyson and Sarah go back and forth for second place, depending on era.
Posted By: middlehead (Guest) on January 03, 2010 at 03:53 PM
Charisma, for sure.
Posted By: TrevorSnyder (Registered) on January 03, 2010 at 08:27 PM
@JLAJRC, thank you for the heads up on Buck Rogers!
@Jason D., haha, I've got a Nigella project in the works. Stay tuned. And I'll be sure to include as many Buffy babes as possible. Even if I have to extend it a week or so.
Charisma seems to pull away to get the win this week. But when it comes to looking at beautiful women...we are ALL winners!
Posted By: stevethegoose (Registered) on January 03, 2010 at 11:02 PM
Gotta go with Charisma.. but barely. It's like trying to choose which of your three children will be spared by Ming the Merciless.
