PCM Review: Poo Log App for iPhone and iPod Touch

noreply@blogger.com (Kristyn) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:33:00 +0000

I recently had the opportunity to review an application for the iPhone and iPod touch called the Poo Log! Trust me, readers, it is exactly what it sounds like, the app allows you to record your bowel movements, down to size and shape, to find out more about your innner digestive workings! The app is based upon the best-selling book "What's Your Poo Telling You" by Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, MD.

Believe me it is certainly not the easiest task to take the time and effort to want to describe in detail, your own excrement, however I was surprised to learn quite a few legimate medical facts (followed by giggles) in the process! The app was simple to use, but I did feel a bit strange carrying the iPhone with me to the restroom each time that certain urge came on! For fans of bathroom humor, and those that want to learn some nifty facts this app is certainly worth checking out, however it may get a little "wiped" out after the first couple trips!

NBA Legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Battling Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (Emily) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:39:00 +0000

Former L.A Lakers star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 62, has announced that he has been diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer, and has been battling it for the past year. He is currently undergoing treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (abbreviated CML), but has said that aside from checking his blood levels on a regular basis, the disease "doesn't impact my life too significantly." He hasn't revealed his prognosis.

The basketball great has decided to make it his mission to educate others about the importance of the early detection of cancer, and has partnered with pharmaceutical company Novartis to travel across the country informing others about CML and other types of cancer. He is also launching a Facebook page, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Patient Advocate. He says, "I think it's possible for someone in my position to help save lives."

Tracey Morgan Loses Audience Members at Comedy Fest

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:45:00 +0000

Earlier this week it was Britney Spears running off concert goers over lip-syncing. Now Tracey Morgan of NBC's 30 Rock has offended comedy concert goers at New York's Comedy Fest at Carnegie Hall with his offensive language and culturally questionable jokes.

This week New Yorkers at his Carnegie Hall performance literally walked out of his performance. Over the course of his routine, more followed. Why? It appears most expected him to remain closer to his on-screen personality of Tracey Jordan from 30 Rock instead of his more hard hitting and vulgar uncensored performance style. From topics like drugs and pornography to mimicking sex acts, the category of offended concert goers was mostly middle aged women according to reports.

There were many surprised faces and little laughter at jokes such as, “Obama is really changing the White House, because he and Michelle will have the first presidential sex tape out.”

It appears many New Yorkers have forgotten that the last bastion of political incorrectness is stand up comedy and even the late George Carlin told far more off color jokes at Carnegie Hall in his many performances. Morgan reminded the crowd of this when he announced, “You want the clean Tracy? Turn on the TV.”

Jennifer Lopez Sex Tape

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:56:00 +0000

We really shouldn't be surprised. When Miss Purity Carrie Prejean has a sex tape, then it should come as no surprise that anyone can have one. Jennifer Lopez has one.

While the details may never be known, what is certain is that Mrs. Lopez has filed a whopping multi-million dollar complaint on her one time short term Cuban husband Ojani Noa during 1997 and into 1998.

Lopez is suing over both his kiss and tell movie and sex tapes. In her complaint she tips her hands that they have home movies together - erotic in nature. Her complaint states that Ojani Noa is planning a film, How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story. That's a mouthful, I wonder if it has as much in it as its title.

It's not the first run-in between Lopez and Noa. Upon their divorce he was head chef at her restaurant, Madre's. He was fired and sued for wrongful termination. Then in 2006 she filed an injunction against him to stop him from writing a book about her. The court hit him with a half a million dollar judgment penalty. Why did the courts stop him?

While tell all books are not illegal in nature, and celebrities are not protected from libel in the same way common people are, the rub here is that Lopez's gripe is that Noa is violating a confidentiality agreement between them resulting in her $10 million dollar breach of contract suit. Included is her desire to have the courts halt his plans to make the movie or release the contents of the sex tape. One has to wonder if there is going to be another suspicious break-in at Noa's house where a copy of his sex tape or tapes go missing. This one is just heating up.

One has to wonder if they both need the money. Lopez's career has stalled with her fading youth while Noa has built nothing since his days as a waiter. The whole spat benefits them both, her with press him with income. And nothing kick starts celebrity like releasing a sex tape.

Tiffani Thiessen is Pregnant

noreply@blogger.com (Emily) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:52:00 +0000

"Saved By the Bell" star Tiffani Thiessen is pregnant with her first baby, which will be due in May 2010. She and her actor/artist husband Brady Smith, married in 2005, have said, "We are over the moon! It's something we've wanted for a long time and we are thrilled that it's actually happening."

The 35-year-old actress is currently appearing in the USA drama "White Collar," and has previously starred in 90s classics such as the original "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Saved By the Bell" as the beloved character Kelly Kapowski.

Steven Tyler Leaves Aerosmith

noreply@blogger.com (Casey Whitley) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:47:00 +0000

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry has confirmed to the Las Vegas Sun that Steven Tyler has left the band. Perry stated, "Steven quit as far as I can tell." Rumors have been swirling in recent weeks about the possibility of the band replacing Tyler, their lead singer.

Apparently, Tyler has been distant and cold toward other members of the band. Perry stated, "Obviously, he hasn't been giving 100% for a long time. Frankly, the last few months I've been wanting not to rock the boat. I don't want him canceling more gigs. We really wanted to do these last four. We didn't want to call him out or get him pissed off for whatever reason. So we just let things lie."

Aerosmith celebrates their 40th anniversary next year. Perry is confident that the band will be successful with or without Tyler.

Agassi Confesses All on 60 Minutes

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:08:00 +0000

Andre Agassi gave a tell all interview on 60 minutes. He revealed a lot. More than anyone could possibly imagine.

He hated Tennis. "I don't ever remember not hating it."
His father felt school was unnecessary.
His image was a facade as his hair loss began at age 17.
He wore hair weaves which distracted him in play.
He lived in fear people would learn he lost his hair.
1994 French Open, his hair piece fell apart in the shower and his brother bobby pinned it back in place leaving him in mortal fear it would fall off in the tournament.
In 1995 his then wife Brooke Shields convinced him it was time to shave his head.
He turned to drugs out of apathy for life and became a crystal meth addict.
Felt he was in a marriage he shouldn't be in with Brooke Shields.
Started his career over on his own terms.

Agassi seemed to have lived a charmed life, but it was a life he lived for his family and not himself which ultimately cost him his own personal happiness.

It took fortitude for him to make changes in his life. From giving up his addiction to leaving Brooke Shields. Some will argue that his leaving Brooke made him a jerk, but he meant only the best for her and knew staying together was wrong for them both.

Ultimately Andre Agassi has done what many celebrities never do. He told everything before the press found out. He told the truth and he told it without making excuses.

Britney Spears Traumatised Over Being Caught Lip-Syncing Concerts

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:25:00 +0000

Britney Spears is not going down well, down under. Australian media is stating that fans at her concert in Perth Australia have walked out in numbers complaining they spent hundreds of dollars a 'cheap act'.

In response, Britney's tour operator, Paul Dainty reports "Britney is aware of all this and she's extremely upset by it."

However Paul wants to set the record straight on Britney's behalf saying, "She's a human being. I'm embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting.

"It's the biggest lie I've ever heard. I'm so angry.

"We can take heat if there's something wrong and people can review shows badly - that's something you have to live with - but to say people stormed out of the show was an absolute fabrication."

The question is who do you believe? Britney's camp or the media armed with quotes from concert goers? Take for example, Kathy Wright's claim to the Perth Sunday Times, "It was just really bad." While another fan reported to Nine Network, "People are paying for it and have come here so she should sing."

How did this all come about? Last week, NSW Fair Trading Minister Virginia Judge started the lip-sync debate after she told The Daily Telegraph that Sydneysiders would not tolerate a "Mickey Mouse performance" from Spears. In response the Australian media has been quick to find naysayers to bolster the Trading Minister's arguments.

The fact that Spears performs with lip-syncing is actually a known fact according to Dainty whom plays off with this statement, "It's been all over the Internet for nine months. This show isa bout an incredible spectacle, which it is."

Well see if the Australian media dogs her as her next concert performance will be in Melbourne, then Sydney, Brisbane and across the continent to Adelaide.

Kate Beckinsale Struggles As Sexiest Woman Alive

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:32:00 +0000

Esquire's November Issue tells it all... Kate Beckinsale is the sexiest woman alive.

For Kate Beckinsale, the title of sexiest woman alive is one she doesn't relish. Last month when Esquire Magazine announced the title previously held by Halle Berry, was being bestowed on Kate Beckinsale, she immediately wrestled with the notion of it. "If you're any kind of a human, you know the title is utterly ludicrous. But I like the idea of it, too. I do. I'm feeling that I must earn this. I need to go out and become much better at pole dancing or something."

Kate hasn't quite got the modesty act down. Despite her public display of modesty over the title, her Esquire photo-shoot indicates Kate is actually quite comfortable with her title. Check it out.

And still Kate tries to play the whole thing off. "It's such a nice thing to happen and then immediately it's mortifying. Somebody came up to me in the street and went 'are you the sexiest woman alive?' And I went 'yes,' and then I thought, 'Errrggh I can't say yes to that!'"
"I should be shot on sight for that, it's awful!"

No problem Kate. You look hot. Accept it. I know it's hard, but really, if you think about it. It's a tough job but you are up to the task.

Justin Timberlake's Stalker Slipping Through Legal Cracks

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:05:00 +0000

Celebrities get stalked. It's a grim reality that comes with the fame. Justin Timberlake has one that was stalking both Axel Rose and Metalica where in October he won a temporary restraining order against her.

Now, due to some slip ups by Timberlake, the case has become muddy.

Here is the background. A transient by the name of Karen McNeil, a heavyset woman appearing to be in her 50's has already been successfully barred from having contact with other celebrities mentioned prior. At least that's what she claims in her own answers to the court in regards to Timberlake's accusation of stalking. McNeil was actually sentenced to a year in prison in 1995 for having violated her order granted to Axel Rose. Her last celebrity run-in was with Metalica where she is not only barred from contact with the entire band and their families, she's also barred from any contact with the band's fan club.

The court required Timberlake himself to file a statement on his own known as a sworn declaration (an affidavit) in order to gain a longer term order, but he had not. This left only Timberlake's body guards statements verses her own where she claimed (in her answer to the court) to be long time friends with Timberlake. In the legal world, this is not enough to merit a restraining order.

The courts have in turn demanded that Timberlake come to court Monday to testify that he believes he is in danger by this woman. When she was first picked up after his temporary restraining order was issued, she was evaluated and the requirements to hold her on what is known as a 5150 were not met. Without the criteria to hold her being met, she was let go.

The latest development is that due to either Timberlake's inability to make it to court Monday or unwillingness to appear in court, his attorney has sought to have the judge removed (disqualify), buying them more time to put together their case against McNeil.

Hasselhoff Can't Stay Sober

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:55:00 +0000

Sadly for David Hasselhoff, his life seems to have taken a very bad turn. It appears the once popular TV star has only one love in life, his penchant for drinking. It's a struggle his own daughters tried to embarrass him into overcoming by placing a video of him on the Internet where he couldn't even eat a sandwich off the floor.

It's become so bad for Hasselhoff that he couldn't stay sober for his visit to his beloved Germany as a presenter in the European Music Awards. See the video below and you decide if he was drunk.

Earlier in the week Hasselhoff was in Canada. There he had to be escorted out after arguing with an elderly patron. He was thought to be drunk. Have we all seen this before? Will the final headline for Hasselhoff be like that of Michael Jackson and others? Let's hope that some tipping point takes place where he not only realizes his problem and addiction that he takes a road to recovery.

Former Miss California Carrie Prejean Not A Real Blond! Oh.. and she has a sex tape

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:56:00 +0000

Say it isn't so Joe! Carrie Prejean the almost self-righteous born again Christian has been outed due to a legal battle which has been fought to draw after her adversaries were supplied a sex tape with Prejean in it.

If you were not aware, Prejean was suing the Miss USA Pageant for libel to the tune of more than $1 million dollars. Her suit was generated due to her being fired from the pageant for what the officials claim was missing events. Upon being sued by Prejean, the pageant counter-sued asking for $5,200 they gave/loaned her for breast augmentation.

Their suits have been looking for angles on how to trump the other side for months now. It's unknown at present if the dirt diggers at TMZ gave the pageant their magic bullet in the form of the sex tape. However the sex tape was supplied to TMZ which they claimto have had it for many months yet refused to publish it because it's 'too racy'. Sources say it is explicit which if is true, would be quite damaging to Prejean's projected squeaky clean Christian image. The tape is a home made amature style recording with Prejean participating alone.

Apart from the sex tape, Prejean also has a number of semi-nude photos which also ended up in the hands of TMZ and are circulating around the Internet. One seen above. It shows she's not a natural blond shot at the age of 20 and before she had her breast size enlarged through breast augmentation.

Ultimately it looks like there won't be a sex tape being sold from any shady Internet sites and for the pageant and Prejean - they have come to terms where it appears only Prejeans lawyers will benefit from the fight. They are being paid $100,000 for their involvement.

The Miss USA pageant is owned by Donald Trump.

Heidi Klum is Struggling to Lose her Baby Weight

noreply@blogger.com (Rebekah) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:50:00 +0000

German supermodel Heidi Klum – who gave birth to daughter Lou last month – admits it is more of a struggle this time around to get back into shape than it was after having her other children, Leni, five, Henri, four, and Johan, three.

“I wouldn’t say I’m back in shape yet," she said. "Everything changes when you get older. It was different when I was 31 with the first one and now being 36 with the fourth one.”

She is spending time on the treadmill and eating sensibly to try and get back in shape as she fears she will remain bigger forever if she doesn’t work on it now.

“I think that if you wait too long and it sticks there it stays that way forever," she said. "I have to be motivated.”

Meanwhile, her husband Seal has also spoken out about the family, admitting he was initially unsure of how having another baby would affect their lives.

“It’s a funny thing, having another child, because you have three kids who you love dearly and you think to yourself how could you possibly find any more love to give anyone else?” he told Celebrity Baby Blog.

“The first time you hold your baby in your arms there is this overwhelming sense of otherworldliness that is very, very difficult to describe.”

Seal and Heidi are exhausted from looking after their newborn – but agree it’s worth it.

“Sleep deprivation is kind of pretty much neutralised by what I call the amnesia gene," Seal added. "They look at you and you forget that when you have more kids.”

No Doubt Suing "Band Hero"

noreply@blogger.com (Emily) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:51:00 +0000

Not long ago, the makers of the popular video game Guitar Hero were under fire for using Kurt Cobain's likeness, which Courtney Love (the late rocker's wife) claimed she had not given permission for them to use. Now, the makers of a similar game, Band Hero, are being sued by Gwen Stefani's band No Doubt for fradulent inducement and breach of contract. The band wants their likeness removed from the videogame, as when they signed the deal to appear as avatars, they only agreed to three no Doubt tracks. In the actual game, the avatars perform over sixty songs by other artists, and Gwen Stefani's character can even be made to sing in a male voice. According to the lawsuit, this made the band feel as though the game was "transforming No Doubt band members into a virtual karaoke circus act." Since Activision (the creators of Band Hero)

refused to change the game, No Doubt now wants to completely terminate their involvement. We can't really blame them!

Yankees Win World Series

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:57:00 +0000

You guessed it the best team in baseball that money can buy wins again. The Yankees, made up of all-stars from across both leagues completed their best of seven games beating their favorite whipping boy, Pedro Martinez and the Philadephia Phillies by a final score of 7-3.

It was a game that quickly got out of reach of the Phillies as Martinez gave up two runs quickly putting the Phillies in a game of catch up. The largest run spread in the game was 7-1 and the Phillies could only manage to cut the lead by four with a final score of 7-3.

The Phillies only two wins in the series came from pitcher Cliff Lee. While Chase Utley proved to be the only bright spot in Phillies attack by tying previous Yankee (also bought - from the A's) Reggie Jackson for the most home runs hit in a World Series (5).

While many will complain that the Yankees are a team of hired guns bought by the highest bidder, the Phillies fans have no excuses. They wanted to play the best team and beat them and ultimately the Yankees proved to be too much for the Phillies.

Meanwhile Andy Petitte added another win to his post season resume upping it to 18.

All in all, the Yankees 423.5 million spent to acquire the top three free agents in baseball paid off.

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to Co-Host the Oscars

noreply@blogger.com (Emily) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:47:00 +0000

Two of America's favorite comedians, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, will be co-hosting this year's Academy Awards. They'll be the first people to host the ceremony as a pair since the first Oscars show in 1929. Martin has already hosted the show twice before and even garnered an Emmy nomination for it in 2001, but Alec Baldwin has never hosted the show before. Martin has made guest appearances on Baldwin's hit show, "30 Rock."

Martin joked about the news: "I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin." In turn, Baldwin remarked (about Martin's musical abilities), "I don't play the banjo but I'm thrilled to be hosting the Oscars - it's the opportunity of a lifetime."

Josh Duhamel Allegedly Cheats on Fergie

noreply@blogger.com (Casey Whitley) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:01:00 +0000

Josh Duhamel is in Fergie's doghouse for sure.

Georgia-based stripper Nicole Forrester contacted the National Enquirer and claimed she had an affair with Transformers star Josh Duhamel. Duhamel was in Georgia filming Life As We Know It. According to Forrester, he went to Tattletales Lounge, a strip club, with a friend. Forrester told Duhamel that she thought he was gorgeous, and he replied stating that she was hot too. Forrester claimed Duhamel called himself "JD" and paid her for a nude dance for himself and his buddy.

A few days later, Duhamel contacted Forrester and invited her to his hotel room at the St. Regis Hotel. Forrester claims that she had sex with Duhamel. The National Enquirer stated that Forrester passed an extensive polygraph test and that her story is absolutely true.

After this information came to light, other women began contacting media outlets claiming that this isn't Duhamel's first infidelity. A woman named Serena contact San Francisco's Wild 94.9 radio station and revealed that Duhamel cheated on Fergie while on the set of Transformers 2. Serena claims that she and her friend were stationed at an Air Force base in New Mexico while Transformers 2 was being filmed. She claims her friend had sex with Duhamel. His co-star, Tyrese, allegedly attempted to have threesomes with other cadets.

Josh Duhamel and Fergie, the female member of the Black Eyed Peas, were married in January 2009. There have been no statements from either star since Duhamel's cheating scandal made the news.

Dr. Defends Michael Jackson Over 1993 Molestation Charge

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:42:00 +0000

Most everyone has wrestled with the notion of MJ being a child molester if not convicted Michael Jackson in the court of public opinion over the allegations due to his 1993 settlement.

But new clues would exonerate him to a degree in the public eye if his skin doctor is to be believed.

According to Dr. Arnold Klein, Micheal Jackson was forced into accepting a plea with his accuser not he because molested a child; instead the doctor claims MJ had a strange problem with urinating in public. Because of this, MJ's accuser was able to leverage having seen his private parts into a manufactured molestation case.

Now you would think this news clears the King of Pop of being a child molester, but the sad fact is it kind bolsters the image of him having issues that point right back to him being a problem around children. Again, according to the Doctor, Jackson liked peeing for an audience. For the doctor this simply meant that people knew what his genitals looked like, not that he was forcing himself in inappropriate ways with minors. Ultimately a deputy from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's department had detailed that one of the minors and Jackson's accuser was able to describe his gentiles in 'explicit' detail due to Jackson's affliction of Vitiligo.

Perhaps the most assuring evidence that Jackson did not molest children is Dr. Klein's assertion to TMZ that Jackson simply did not molest children. Never mind that the Doctor admits that Jackson thought peeing in front of people was funny and that he did it often in front of groups of people (including children) for laughs, even in the doctors home.

Perhaps exposing your genitals is not molestation, but it's still rather sick and shows that Jackson had issues. Perhaps we will never know the whole truth.

Spoofing Google Maps

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:55:00 +0000

It could be the latest rage in annoying Google. Spoofing their much ballyhoo'd google maps.

Recently a phantom city of Argleton in the UK has manifest on Google Maps only to not really exist if you try to visit it. While speculators think it could be a mistaken spelling of an actual nearby town Aughton, some think it could be Google itself attempting to catch copyright cheats stealing their map information. After all this tactic has been performed by actual map companies for eons.

In efforts to understand the mystery The Telegraph speculates Argleton is an anagram for both "Not Real G" and "Not Large".

Want to goto Argleton? You'll find empty landscape, but at least you'll see something. Try googling Area 51 and it's blanked out.

Maine has it's own phantom town of Suckerville with very few inhabitants of the area it's placed at knowing of this bad information.

Now if Google Maps can provide fictional places, why not show us where Lake Wobegon is? Or Metropolis or I'm sure you've searched "The middle of nowhere".

If you think about it, we rely on google maps almost religiously. Consider this video below...

Kate Winslet Isn't "Irritating"

noreply@blogger.com (Emily) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:51:00 +0000

In January, Britain's Daily Mail labeled Kate Winslet as "The World's Most Irritating Actress," along with calling her "vain" and accusing her of lying about how she stays in shape. Now, the Oscar winner is having the last laugh, as Winslet sued for slander and won. The Daily Mail now have to pay her $40,000 in damages. Following the hearing, Winslet issued this statement:

"I am delighted that the Mail have apologised for making false allegations about me. I was particularly upset to be accused of lying about my exercise regime and felt that I had a responsibility to request an apology in order to demonstrate my commitment to the views that I have always expressed about body issues, including diet and exercise. I strongly believe that women should be encouraged to accept themselves as they are, so to suggest that I was lying was an unacceptable accusation of hypocrisy."

Rihanna Speaks out about Chris Brown

noreply@blogger.com (Rebekah) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:00:00 +0000

Singer Rihanna – who was left battered and bruised after her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown assaulted her in February at a pre-Grammys party – knows she isn’t the only person to be the victim of domestic abuse.

"This happened to me. It can happen to anyone," she said.

However, the 21-year-old beauty admitted it was hard to deal with because of the feelings she had for the ‘Run It’ singer.

She says in an episode of ‘Good Morning America’ due to air on Thursday (11-05-09): "He was definitely my first big love."

Chris was recently interviewed about the assault and spoke of his regret about attacking Rihanna and told how he is trying his best to make amends.

"I'm human," he said. "If people feel a certain way, I'm not going to say they're wrong. But it's not right to judge somebody when people make mistakes all the time."

"I've learned from my mistakes and I'm learning from them. And I regret every moment, every second of it."

Chris repeatedly punched Rihanna in the face and bit her arms in his car as they left a pre-Grammy Awards party in February.

He pleaded guilty to assault and in August was sentenced to six months of community service, 12 months of domestic violence counselling and five years probation.

The judge also issued a restraining order which requires him to stay at least 100 yards from Rihanna for five years.

Lindsay Lohan Threatened by Gun

noreply@blogger.com (Rebekah) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:42:00 +0000

‘Mean Girls’ star Lindsay Lohan was left shaken following the terrifying encounter during a vacation in Morocco – only to discover the weapon held at her was fake.

She revealed on her Twitter page: "Umm-OMFG! I was walking ahead with the security guard and some guy was following me, then pulled up in his car and pointed a GUN at me!"

"I was on the phone w/my mum and i screamed and ducked and the guy started laughing and pushed the trigger and it was a fake gun..I was crying..he scared me."

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old's father Michael has demanded she go into rehab for an addiction to painkillers.

Speaking after the actress branded him a “lunatic” over his addiction claims, Michael told X17 online: "As far as Lindsay is concerned, if she retracts her statement and goes into a rehab, I will stop. But if the lies continue and prescription drug use don't stop. Neither will I."

"As for me. I am sorry I had to talk this root, but I have tried and tried to help Linds, and I been lied about long enough. Lindsay has two weeks to get herself into a LONG TERM rehab."

Michael’s comments came after Linday branded him a “lunatic” and said she wanted to change her name.

"My father is a lunatic and doesn't even deserve such a title since he's never been around in my life other than when he'd threaten me and my family," she said. "He should be where he has always put himself after verbally abusing and physically abusing people all my life, behind bars."

"So much for having a 'dad'... I'm going to spend some time with the ones that love me and i love now . The next shopping spree I’m going on is for a new last name!!!"

Ryan Seacreast Stalked!

pcm@hindsley.us (Lars Hindsley) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:54:00 +0000

Of all people, a U.S. Army reservist has allegedly been stalking Ryan Seacrest. The knife-wielding Chidi Uzomah Jr. is in police custody on $150,000 bail after Uzomah had an frightening incident with Seacrest on Friday.

The Army Reserve has commented. Says Lt. Colonel Nathan Banks, "It is disappointing to have a soldier act in that form or fashion, however, we will allow the local police to do their initial investigation, and we will chime in afterwards,"

The details of the incident are one sided at this point. Uzomah had been monitored loitering around the E-Entertainment offices lobby by security guards. To make matters worse he was carrying a pocket knife. Security then tricked him in to staying around while the called the police by telling him that Seacrest was coming to meet him. Uzomah was then taken into custody by handcuffs by LAPD without incident. From here Seacrest's lawyer Blair Berk filed a restraining order on Uzomah.

What will happen next? Aside from not having any contact with Seacrest the Army spokesperson says "He could possibly be honorably discharged or bad conduct discharged, but it's too early to state because we first have to let the due process happen," he said. "We will wait and be patient and not rush to judgment yet."

Nicole Richie Receives Restraining Order

noreply@blogger.com (Casey Whitley) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:44:00 +0000

Nicole Richie has received a temporary restraining order against two paparazzi, Eduardo Arrivebene and Ivon Miguel. According to Richie, these men harass her "on a daily basis."

Richie, whose life has been documented by paparazzi cameras, is concerned for her own welfare and the welfare of her two young children, Harlow (21 months) and Sparrow (6 weeks). Arrivebene was driving when he and Miguel crashed into Richie's car and caused her "severe emotional distress."
