Sure he’s talented when it comes to music, but mastering the acting bug seems to be harder for him (skits on SNL notwithstanding).  Have to give him credit though, he keeps trying. 

JT will next be seen on The Social Network, playing Facebook creator Mark Zukenberg, followed by Friends With Benefits which is currently filming in NYC. 

Anyway, JT recently directed a couple of commercials for his 901 Tequila, and they’re really, really, laughingly bad.  Sorry JT, I’ll take Silver Patron over your over-priced and over-hyped panty remover any day.

No?

Ok then (no reason just wondering).

Megan Fox was looking….altered on the red carpet Thursday night at the premiere of her new film, Jonah Hex. 

Word is the movie’s so bad it’s almost unwatchable and is the latest entry for “worst movie summer 2010″.  On the plus side, Jonah Hex may be total crap, but at least it’s short crap.  Apparently it doesn’t even run 90 minutes (still 80-something minutes too long).

Megan also recently got re-engaged to long time on again off again boyfriend Brian Austin-Green, whom she seems to have a volitile relationship with.  Last year, rumour was she was set to kick him to the curb with the commercial success of Transformers 2 under her belt, now that she’s no longer involved with the franchise…well, a girl needs to keep her options open, does she not?

So why is she on in the first place? Kates performance last night was so amazingly, jaw droppingly bad it was epic.  BTW the (non) dancing part starts at about 3:45

Good Idea- A dance based on what it’s like to constantly deal with the paps to Lady GaGa’s Paparazzi.

Bad Idea- When you only have one other person on stage with you representing the said scourge of photographers and have about as much grace moving about as a zombie.

Apparently, ex-husband Jon is using her appearance on Dancing with the Stars as an excuse to reopen their divorce case.  Now the douche is said to be seeking full custody of their litter as well as spousal support.

Something tells me Kate’s involvement with the show will only be an issue for another week, tops.

The screenwriter that was responsible for the epic fail that was Battlefield Earth has apologized for his involvement in it.  Sort of.

Like many guys, JD Shapiro thinks with his dick (or as he calls it, Willy Wonka).  Apparently, “Willy” decided the Scientology Centre in LA would be a great place to meet closet caseswomen, so off they went, looking to get laid.   He ended up meeting the grand poo-bah of the centre who introduced him to John Travolta.  Travolta had JD read Battlefield Earth, who agreed to come up with a script to take to the studios.

Alas, for sci-fi geeks, film goers, and the human race in general, what JD came up with was not what ended up on screen. 

“My script was very, VERY different than what ended up on the screen. My screenplay was darker, grittier and had a very compelling story with rich characters. What my screenplay didn’t have was slow motion at every turn, Dutch tilts, campy dialogue, aliens in KISS boots, and everyone wearing Bob Marley wigs.”

Meh.  Considering that JD calls his penis Willy Wonka, perhaps it’s just as well this endeavor pretty much torpedoed his career as a screenwriter.

Oh wait, that’s gone too.

Bummer.

David Beckham was sidelined indefinatley yesterday playing for AC Milan when he broke his Achilles tendon.

Ouch.

The Achilles tendon attaches the calf muscle to the heel.  If it breaks (or tears) the calf muscle will literally pull up, making walking or running virtually impossible.

Becks was escorted off the field in a stretcher, clearly in pain and was heard to say “It’s broken” a couple of times.

This is really bad news for the 34 year old soccer player.  As it will likely sideline him for the World Cup this summer and may in fact cut his career short as well.

Becks is apparently being flown to Finland later today to undergo surgery.

That’s what GLAAD (Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is asking after reports surfaced that Johnny Weir had been turned down to participate in the Stars on Ice for not being “family friendly enough” by the tours sponsors.

Weir confirmed the story to Access Hollywood, saying , “It is for real.  I’ve never been invited to do ‘Stars on Ice‘ before, which is the only figure skating tour in the U.S., and it’s disappointing that I can’t perform for my American fans … all because I’m not ‘family friendly’ enough“.

The most idiotic thing about all this?  Weir financially supports his family by putting his younger brother through college and supporting his father, who’s on disability.  Not sure what some people would call that, but it seems pretty “family friendly” to me.

For their part, a spokesminion for Stars On Ice said in a desperate attempt at spin to avoid backlash, released statement, “We are disappointed that there is untrue and inaccurate information being disseminated.  Please be assured that the ‘gender identity and sexual orientation’ of cast members has never been a consideration in the selection of tour performers.  Stars on Ice’ recognizes Johnny Weir is a talented athlete and we appreciate the contributions he has made to the international figure skating community throughout his career.  While ‘Stars on Ice’ wishes it could accommodate many more talented skaters as part of our cast, the fact is we cannot sign every skater.”

All this over someone’s perceived sexual orientation.  Wier has never confirmed nor denied that he is gay (nor should he have to).  What century are we in again?

Why did ABC pick Kathy Ireland, an ex-model, Dancing With The Has-Beenscast-off, and entrepeneur, to interview celebs walking the Red Carpet just prior to the Academy Awards?

People have been asking if she was on something.  Kathy kept moving her arm for EMPHASIS! and even more annoying OV-ER A-NOUN-CI-AT-ING EV-ERY WORD.  I worked with somebody like that and you can’t take your eyes off their mouths when they speak.  Horrifyingly hypnotic.

It was cringe inducing, embarrassing and hysterically funny all at once.  Seriously, check out Morgan Freeman’s friend in the red dress, she looks like she’s about to crack up watching her. 

When Kathy interviews Zac Efron, her OV-ER EN-THUSI-ASTIC approach is even worse (or better, if this gives you the giggles).

You have to feel sorry for this guy.

Sven Kramer, the hot Dutch speed-skater who made headlines last week when asking an NBC reporter if she was stupid when she wanted to know his name and what country he was representing after he had just won gold, is now in the headlines again.

He completed the 10 000 meter race in record time 12:28.55 getting ensuring another gold medal.  Only one problem, he made an illegal lane change at his coaches insistence.  Oopsie!

Rules being rules, Kramer’s gold medal has been taken away from him with the top prize going to Seong Hoon Lee of Korea instead.

Kramer’s response to this turn of events was typically blunt “This really sucks.”  Although he showed remarkable composure and restraint (except for thowing his glasses down in disgust and kicking the ice in frustration) considering what happened.

There’s a rumour flaoting around that Kramer hit somebody outside the stadium afterwards.  Another “stupid” NBC reporter?  His Coach?  Quatchi?  Will update this post if anything comes of this one (which I doubt).

Kramer has gone on to say that while he blames his couch, “In the end, it’s my responsibility — I’m the skater on ice, I have to do it.  Maybe it’s best said, ‘We did it wrong.”

This blows.  Literally.

Nick Snider, a 21 year old male model who is “the face” of Prada, found himself in hot water with the police in Batesville AK.  Apparently, he was arrested for being drunk and disorderly at a female friends house.  Nick’s solution to try and get out of trouble?  Offer the arresting officer a blow job in exchange for letting him go.

Unfortunately for Nick,  the officer didn’t swing that way, and took him into custody at the police station.  There, Nick tried his luck again with the same offer, this time to the booking officer, who added a charge of illegally trying to influence a public servant to the two misdemeanor counts against him.

Nick was released on $780 bail and is scheduled to appear February 17th in court.  No word yet if he made the offer to any other people while in jail or if they took him up on it. 

Nick’s next appearance will be on several runways starting next week when New York Fashion Week revs up, or possibly on his knees in front of booking agents.

Not sure which one will win worst picture of 2009 (they’re all deserving even if they were entertaining).  It’s safe to say Megan Fox will probably win for her roles since she was nominated twice. 

While the Twihards will be collectively freaking out over Robert Pattinson’s inclusion not once, but twice in this list, chances are Hugh Hefner will get top (or is that low?) prize, for worst supporting actor since he was playing himself in that movie (now that’s bad acting).

The Razzies are also doing their worst ot the decade (my God how will they choose?)  for Film, Actor and Actress.  If you dare, Click here for the full list.

A few years ago the Razzies got the kind of publicity you can only dream about when Halle Berry attended to pick up her award for her award for her role in Catwoman.  Here’s hoping someone on the list above decides to take it on the chin and go, that would be amazing.
