Bruno Mars: Arrested with bag of cocaine but law doesn’t care

INSIPID, vapid pop-goon Bruno Mars has done very little for this planet apart from sell millions of awful records that have utterly polluted the air and damaged the brains of all those that have had the misfortune to hear them.

However, he must be made of magic because, for some reason, the American criminal system doesn’t seem to mind that he likes big bags of cocaine. Are America’s lawyers hoping he’ll have an overdose? Either way, as of tomorrow, he’ll have a spotless criminal record tomorrow despite being arrested with class A drugs in a Hard Rock toilet.

Mark Wahlberg says sorry for his bizarre 9/11 comments

HEY! Marky Mark, aka, Mark Wahlberg, aka Really You Should Never Ever Speak Unless Scripted! How are you? Thing is, Wahlberg is currently trying to take all the feet in the world out of his mouth at the moment because he’s gone and said something off-centre about the 9/11 terrorist attacks and, as well you can imagine, no-one should ever do that because Americans are still really, really jumpy about all that.

He said in a rag:

“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.'”

George Lucas: quitting movie making to make Howard The Duck: Strikes Back

BEECHAWAWA! Have you heard that George Lucas is quitting the movie industry?! Kinda. Of course, many of you could well be pleased to see the back of him thanks to his endless tinkering with the Star Wars franchise. Last year, everyone lost their bap when he decided to make Darth Vader shout “Nooooo!” at the climax of Return of the Jedi.

Some people pretty much saw that as Lucas deliberately trying to destroy a childhood or a million.

And now, in an upcoming issue of The New York Times Magazine, you’ll discover that George Lucas has decided enough is enough and fully intends to retire from making big-budget feature films, including and especially any more Star Wars flicks.

“Why would I make any more,” he says, “when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?”

Marine sues ‘prostitute’ Lindsay Lohan to be sued over her role in Osama bin Laden’s death (?!?!?!?!)

HURRAY! When Lindsay Lohan stopped all that Getting In Trouble Almost Constantly thing, we all feared she’d become something of a dullard. Some even feared she might find God or something awful like that. Instead, she did a Playboy spread and showed us her freckled boobies, which was very charitable of her.

Mercifully, the circus won’t stop because, when LiLo is behaving, the rest of the world can go mental around her. Just take a look at Thomas A. Green, a man who believes that the actress played a role in the death of Osama Bin Laden and that she’s also “might be a high end prostitute”.

Ambulance chasers TMZ claim to have obtained a copy of the lawsuit written by an “apparently delusional” Green and describes it as “incoherent gibberish”.

Ashton Kutcher tries to punch thin-air as he swears to catch hacker

NOT the sharpest spoon in the drawer, Ashton Kutcher is having a rough few months. He’s shagged a young woman on the night of his wedding anniversary, which saw Demi Moore divorcing him and, not only that, he’s the lead in Two And A Half Men or, if you prefer, the worst thing that’s ever been on television.

But stupid is never deterred!

The Kutch is angrily hitting out at the hacker who broke into his twitter account and posted fake messages! Ashton sent out a chillingly stupid message saying that he’s found out where the hacker lives and he’s going after him!

Madonna takes on Elton John and just about everyone else in the world. Again.

NOW that Madonna’s pop-crown is slipping Lady GaGaward, largely thanks to her taking herself far too seriously and spreading herself too thinly, she’s remembered that nothing gets you column inches like a beef. Or numerous beefs. She’s beef mad, clearly.

The big story is Madge and Elton John are at loggerheads after the Golden Globes. Queen Bitch Elton said that Queen Bitch Madge ‘didn’t have a chance’ winning the award for Best Original Song. She promptly went and won ‘best song’.

This isn’t the first time they’ve fallen out. They spat at each other in 2004 after Elton accused Madonna of miming. After hearing about Elton’s ratings of her, she snarked: “Was he wearing a dress? Those are fighting words… OK, well, may the best man win.” After picking up the award for her W.E. song Masterpiece,Madge stated: “I hope he speaks to me for the next couple of years. He tends to get mad at me. I don’t feel bad.”

Kim Kardashian arranged her own proposal from Kris Humphries

ROMANCE. What do you make of it? Is it a beautiful, spontaneous thing that captures not only the moment, but your heart too? Not if you’re Kim Kardashian (and we thank the stars you’re not)! See, she likes things to be just so. And mercifully for her, she managed to snare a thicko who was willing to do exactly as she pleased. See, when Kris Humphries decided he was going to propose to Kim K, she wasn’t having any of it.

We still can believe that the whole thing ended in a sham of a marriage. Honestly. We’re crestfallen.

Either way, it appears that Kris Humphries told his friends and family that his soon-to-be ex-wife planned his wedding proposal to her so it would look good on her show, ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians.’ He proposed in Minnesota, but she rearranged it for him so it happened in her bedroom.

In photos – 5th Annual BET awards winners, dresses and show

IN photos – the 5th Annual BET Honors in Washington. Mariah Carey got the Best Entertainer prize. Her husband Nick Cannon provided the funnies: “What most people don’t get to experience is the human. To know you guys are honoring her tonight, I have to continue to honor her every day.” That line was, however, delivered without irony.

Mariah Carey makes soup and becomes an instant hero!

JUST over a week after posting one of the most unintentionally funny photos online, and of course, being hospitalised for “mild kidney failure”, Mariah Carey’s husband, Nick Cannon, stepped out into the limelight for the first time and praised her for being a “hero” during his ‘ordeal’.

Cannon said, without any trace of irony:

“When times are hard, you guys don’t see her at 3 o’clock in the morning, getting up in the middle of the night, fixing me soup when my kidneys ain’t acting right. Mariah Carey does that.”

Get housemaid to open tin. Pour into pan. Heat up. Serve. Become hero.

Elton John is sick about losing to Madonna: Golden globes winners (and loser) photos

ALL the winners of the 2012 Golden Globes – each trying to hold their trophy the least like an adolescent boy. But the real onanistic action was to be had when Madonna took on Elton John for the best song. Madonna won the gong for a song called Masterpiece. Elton John looked like the Maquis de Sade trying to choke down a pickled onion-fed bottom burb.

David Furnish took to Facebook:

“Madonna. Best song???? Fuck off!!! Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it’s narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is.”

In photos – Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the Golden Globes

ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt were at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards. We took photos. Will 2012 will be triumphant for Bradjelina? 2011 was big a year for the Jolie-Pitt axis. Angelina Jolie did not complete forms for adoption of your newborn baby but she did give birth to Jennifer Aniston’s baby (source: National Enquirer fantasy division); an expert told us that Brad and Angelina “end the day by chanting the sacred word their love guru has given them, and now they no longer argue” – we can exclusively reveal that the word is “weed”, “lager” or “Jen”; Jolie hired a Euston-Glasgow Virgin train to see Brad in Glasgow; Brad flew in an Iceland frozen foods helicopter; and whatever other mix of the starry, fantastic and plain made-up stories hit the news about Brad and Ange…

In photos – The Golden Globes 2012 (every dress and pose)

THE Golden Globes 2012 – in photos – the show that features Ricky Gervais saying mean things to the famous mongs, who chortle along and leave their table drinks well alone. No-one is ever filmed drinking at the Golden Globes. This is becasues: a) everyone is a lizard; b) faces are more frozen than the ice cubes; c) though more people watch America’s porn genre than 90% of Hollywood films, the place is a haven for prudes..

Madonna notices Lady GaGa fondness for her (with added MIAOW)

REMEMBER when Lady GaGa released Born This Way? Everyone had an opinion on it. People said it was brilliant, others said it was awful. The subplot to it all was: Did it matter that it leaned on Madonna’s Express Yourself so heavily?

Of course, Madge’s fans were apoplectic with rage, while GaGa fans didn’t care. But what does Madonna think about it all? Well, oddly enough, she has just passed judgement on it, vaguely showing her claws about it all.

Madonna said in an interview:

“I thought ‘what a wonderful way to redo my song’.”

$94k of unpaid taxes says Lindsay Lohan isn’t trouble-free just yet

AWW! Just when it looked like Lindsay Lohan was going to get her life back on track, a whole bunch of stuff keeps tapping her on the shoulder to remind her that, basically, she’s going to be in the bad books for the rest of eternity. Fact of the matter is, LiLo could be beatified by a pope and everyone would simply assume she’d been molesting nuns.

Poor Lindsay.

And now, drug problems, wild-childery, assault claims, dodgy tattoos, ill advised trysts and jewel stealery out of the way, she now got the tax man after her.

One Direction’s Harry Styles in nude photo leak? Really?

WOAH! There’s a picture that is supposed to be of Harry Styles, with his wang-direction hanging out, floating around online. Effectively, it’s what every child in Britain has been waiting for. It’s what every adult woman has also been waiting for, but can’t say so, for fear of arrest.

The photo itself shows a naked young man stood in front of the mirror.

Crucially, the face is obscured by the camera flash, but that didn’t stop fans from shrieking about the mop of brown curly hair and dog tag, similar to that which Styles has been seen wearing in the past.
