Gays Rally Around Washington
2007-06-20 21:33:00
Often times in life the damnedest things can happen. Gay and lesbian activist Jasmyne Cannick has begun circulating a petition for ABC to bring Isaiah Washington back to "Grey's Anatomy." Washington had been given his walking papers after using an anti-gay epithet to refer to cast mate T.R. Knight last year. Despite quite an intense and seemingly productive PR campaign to save his job Washington was still axed. Cannick believes that Washington's ousting was not entirely due to his unpopular comments but instead a decision based on race. Cannick argues that ABC has adopted a recent policy of pushing black actors off their network. Cannick writes in a petition to ABC: It's a fact that Isaiah has been the target of an orchestrated campaign focused on getting him fired from "Grey's Anatomy" since the incident with his co-stars was unleashed in the media. And while we don't approve of his use of the f-word at the Golden Globes, Washington has since apologized and go onto to p...

O No He Didn't!
2007-06-20 21:31:00
TMZ has obtained the infamous manuscript of OJ Simpson's canceled book "If I Did It." In the book OJ describes how he would have hypothetically murdered his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her lover Ron Goldman. You have to read it to believe it. I looked over at Goldman, and I was fuming. I guess he thought I was going to hit him, because he got into his little karate stance. "What the f**k is that?" I said. "You think you can take me with your karate sh**?" He started circling me, bobbing and weaving, and if I hadn't been so f**king angry I would have laughed in his face. "O.J., come on!" It was Charlie again, pleading. Nicole moaned, regaining consciousness. She stirred on the ground and opened her eyes and looked at me, but it didn't seem like anything was registering. Charlie walked over and planted himself in front of me blocking my view. "We are f**king done here, man-let's go!"             I noticed the knife in C...

Akon Apologizes In Song
2007-06-14 21:33:00
Akon has catapulted himself into the middle of a media fillet with his controversial actions this year. First there was the incident with the underage girl, then losing Verizon sponsorship on his tour with Gwen Stefani, and most recently tossing a 15 year old fan off a stage. Now Akon is the media again and he's asking all of us to "The Blame To Be Put On Me," or rather him. On a new track leaked to KIIS FM's Ryan Seacrest, Akon sings "Just a little young girl trying to have fun/daddy shouldn't have let out her out that young...How was I suppose to know she was underage/In a 21 and over club they say." Real deep stuff. You can listen to the track here.

Beyonce Disses Another Fan
2007-06-14 21:26:00
Beyonce tour of terror has struck another fan. According to reports, Beyonce left a fan in tears after she refused to sign a painting of herself the fan took over 80 hours to create. Artist Paul Stillwell says it took him over three days to paint the portrait of B who refused to give "two seconds of her time to sign her name on it." Stillwell allegedly painted the portrait to cope with the death of his mother. He was so proud of his work he traveled to London to ask Beyonce to sign it. "I traveled 100 miles to London and waited outside her hotel for five hours. When she came out I showed her my painting and said, 'Beyonce, will you sign my painting?' She said, 'No, sorry,' and walked away."

Isaiah Washington Speaks
2007-06-14 21:09:00
Thanks Perez for this one. Entertainment Weekly has interviewed Hollywood 's newest blacklist member Isaiah Washington . Here are the highlights from the interview. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How are you feeling about what happened last week? Did you think it was fair?ISAIAH WASHINGTON: I don't know if it's a question of ''fair.'' I'm saddened by the outcome. I did everything that the producers and the network asked me to do. I came back under great duress and stress, and thought I was doing the job I was hired to do. I thought that was going to speak for my future at Grey's, but apparently that wasn't the same vision that the network and studio had for me. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why do you think the decision was made by ABC? Was Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes happy about it? ISAIAH WASHINGTON: I knew she was aware of the decision. But you have to understand that she's at the helm of one of the top-rated scripted shows on television. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Have you heard fr...

Jay-Z Screens Rihanna Suitors
2007-06-14 21:09:00
Men attempting to run game at Rihanna best be cautious as her mentor and boss Jay-Z has veto power. Rihanna tells People magazine "I just found out from a mutual friend that guys will talk to Jay first before they try to approach me. He's very protective."With Rihanna being one of the hottest artists on Jay's label it isn't hard to see why the boss would so closely involved in his employee's love life.

Insane Irish Upset With Beyonce
2007-06-14 18:21:00
Beyonce has rubbed a few of her Irish fans the wrong way with her diva demands at a concert in Dublin, Ireland on June 9th. According to reports, fans who won a radio contest to meet Beyonce backstage at the concert were extremely disappointed and claim Beyonce's diva attitude ruined the entire experience for them. "It was supposed to be a bit of fun but I felt like I was under surveillance. It was like Beyonce was wrapped in cotton wool," a fan told the The Sun. Beyonce was reportedly surrounded by her bodyguards during the entire meet and greet. In addition the unfortunate winners were told they would have to pay to take a picture with B, were not allowed to ask her questions, could not touch her and had to leave their handbags and any gifts they brought for her with security.

Washington's Anatomy Done
2007-06-08 21:29:00
Isaiah Washing ton's stint on "Grey's Anatomy " has ended after the actor was fired by the show's producers this week. Washington has been under fire since last year for his use of anti-gay slurs. Washington allegedly referred to cast mate T.R. Knight as a "faggot" during a heated onset argument with Patrick Dempsey last October. A few months later at the Golden Globes, Washington made the error of using the epithet again while attempting to deny having used the word months before. Washington has tried desperately to rehabilitate his image since that time. Over the last couple of months he has gone to rehab,  hired a openly gay publicist in Howard Bragman, played a sexually abused priest in an upcoming independent film and starred in a PSA for GLAAD. These efforts have proved futile as ABC Studios has declined to renew the actor's option to play Dr. Preston Burke on the show next season. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore," Washington said in a state...

Beyonce & Jay-Z Engaged?
2007-06-06 04:45:00
The word from Abbey Road is that Jay-Z and Beyonce are engaged. We've heard these stories before but this time it seems like the rumor could have some legs. According to British media reports, Jay-Z cancelled several U.S. promotional appearences to fly out to France last week to surprise B. The two allegedly had a romantic break in Cannes where Jigga popped the question. Sources close to the two lovebirds say Beyonce accepted the proposal. The two are scheduled to marry in Hawaii later this year. The one thing that kind of throws this story off is that there was no ring and the wedding location. Appearently, Jay has promised B "the biggest diamond she can fit on her finger." You would think Jay-Z would be carrying the Hope Diamond with him if he intended to propose to Beyonce. Also, Jay-Z and Beyonce marrying in Hawaii? Why not atop the Pyramids of Giza or in Maldives?

All My Children
2007-06-04 16:47:00
If Jay-Z wants to have kids anytime soon he has to give Beyonce her walking papers. That is the unfortunate truth of the situation. Of course, he could go on an adoption spree like Brangelina since adopting kids is the fashionable thing to do in Hollywood but Jay-Z pushing around the rainbow coalition isn't fathomable. In the June issue of France's Questions de Femmes, Beyonce was asked whether or not she wanted children to which she responded, "Yes, in 10 years! For the moment, there are still so many things I need to accomplish." Do the math and that means that Jay-Z will be damn near 50 before B is ready to have a little Jigga. Now the real question is, at what age will Rihanna be ready to have kids? (We're just kidding Mr. Carter.)
