The fur is starting to fly, or in this case, the eyeliner, glitter, and lip-gloss.

Adam Lambert issued a response via Twitter regarding the open letter Out editor in chief Aaron Hicklin had published in the latest issue to the singer.

Dear Aaron, it’s def not that deep. Chill! Guess ya gotta get attention for the magazine. U too are at the mercy of the marketing machine. (cont.) Until we have a meaningful conversation, perhaps you should refrain from projecting your publications’ agenda onto my career.

SNAP. 

It doesn’t end there either, The Huffington Post has now got in on the act, writing Lambert a completely hiarlious open letter in the same tone as the one from Out with a list of ten suggestions to help him be more gay and signing it The Gay Thought, Fashion, and Culture Police. 

A link to the The Huffington Post letter below.

Those New Zealanders have a wicked sense of humour, don’t they?  Although Paris Hilton would beg to differ.  Apparently, the celebutard doesn’t appreciate her image being used to advertise vacant billboard space in Aukland, and has instructed her business manager Jamie Freed to contact her lawyers.

The company, Media5, which handles 70 advertising sites in Wellington and Auckland, say they weren’t using Hilton to endorse their billboards and that they “were just having a bit of fun”…she has a proven ability to laugh at herself”.  She does, but only as long as she’s getting paid to do it.

Should Hilton’s lawyers require her image to be removed, the company will cooperate.  “We’re not trying to offend anyone“, said Media5′s Adam McGregor.

If the image does end up being removed at her request, guess we can add “buzz-kill” to Paris’ repertoire.

Did you see Conan last night? Shatner killed it.  It’s all in the delivery.  Perched on a stool with two jazz musicians behind him on bongo and bass, the Montreal native recited Levi Johnston’s Twitter musings on a variety of topics. The result?  Pure.  Comedy.  Gold.

“Maybe I’m a genius and not even know it.  Maybe I don’t exist and it only seems like I do.  Maybe this is a parallel universe where I don’t.  Anybody know where I can get some good weed?”

“What’s the deal with taxi drivers…  Not speaking English… is there a law against it?”

“Is it true that fat kids… never get kidnapped?”

“You know you’re a celebrity when strangers want to see your penis… L. M… A. O.”

Also great?  The camera cutting to Conan trying desperately not to lose it while this was all going down. This isn’t the first time the actor has done this either.  Sarah Palin’s tweets have gotten the full Shatner treatment on two seperate occasions.

Apparently it’s a deal breaker for some people.  The Daily Mailin the UK is reporting that Madonna has written a screenplay with Alek Keshishian (Truth or Dare), called W.E., about Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson which she intends to direct as well.

Never one to waste a resource, the Big M got her ex, Guy Ritchie to have a look at it, apparently asking for his input.  Ritchie is said to have pointed her in the direction of several actors, including Mark Strong and Toby Kebbell, both who had parts in his last film, RocknRolla.   

Here’s where it gets good.  Allegedly, a couple of agents wanted reassurances that Madonna wasn’t going to act in the film as well, before they forwarded the screenplay on to their clients.  No word how that went over, but I would have loved to have seen the reaction. The story goes on to say that some find her difficult to act with, “ask Rupert Everett”. Oh, SNAP. Everett  infamously starred opposite the Big M in The Next Best Thing, back in 2000, which was a critical and commercial bomb, helping to derail his career. They haven’t had much, if any, contact since.

As for W.E., Madonna is said to be meeting with people over the next two weeks, trying to secure a “name” to be attached to the project to help increase it’s budget.

If your going to famewhore, don’t involve the authorities or media.  At least not in Larimer County, Colorado.  Sheriff Jim Alderden gave a press conference earlier today, telling reporters that evidence shows Richard and Mayumi Heene lied to police and the media when they reported that their six year old son Falcon, had been carted away in an experimental weather balloon.  To which I respond with, “duh!”

“It has been determined that this is a hoax, that it was a publicity stunt and we believe we have evidence at this point to indicate that this was a publicity stunt in hopes to better market themselves for a reality show.”  Alderden went on to say that Richard and Mayumi “put on a very good show for us, and we bought it.”  Then added that Richard Heene’s “education level is only high school … he may be nutty, but he’s not a professor.“  ZING!

The Sheriff indicated that his office will file charges against the would be reality show stars for conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, false reporting to authorities, and attempting to influence a public servant. Alderden believes the whole family was in on it, but that the children won’t be charged due to their ages.  Penalties for the parents could include jail time and fines of up to $500 000.

You’ve probably heard this one already but mean spirited bitchery at this level deserves to be repeated, if only to vilify the offenders.  Macy’s invited the cast of the Fox comedy Glee to join in their annual Thanksgiving Day parade.  Glee, for those of you not familiar with it, is the wickedly self aware comedy-drama about a glee club at a mid-western High School by Ryan Murphy who’s previous credits include the campy WB high school cliche show Popular.

Enter NBC with the Mean Girls behavior.  When the suits at NBC, which own the rights to the Macy’s Parade, found out, they pulled the plug on the Gleecasts appearence.  Guess they’re still bitter over the fact that they’ve totally screwed up their Network’s own ratings with the Jay Leno 10pm weeknight fiasco.

Ryan’s Murphy’s response to NBC’s move?  When commenting to EW.com about the situation, he said, “I completely understand NBC’s position, and look forward to seeing a Jay Leno Float.”  Apparently, Kitty has claws.

Frances Bean Cobain, (far left) the 17 year old daughter of the late Kurt Cobain and the always entertaining for the wrong reasons Courtney Love, has apparently fired off a rant at Ali Lohan, the 40 something 16 year old sister of Lindsay Lohan. It looks like Frances has inherited her mothers spelling skills (why I put the typo in the heading – geddit?) although she’s far more coherent.  Frances Beans’  Twitter account has since been deactivated but the rant, in full, below…

“Your not entitled to anything simply because your sister has a recognizable name. Your idea of fame isn’t fame. It’s infamy. You want to be famous? Work your ass off and make decisions that could potentially catapult your career into a lasting one. Notariety for who you are and notaritey for the work you produce are two completely differnt things. I understand that you have been brought up in an envirtoment where the idea of fame is easily achievable but, that’s not an excuse. You lack the talent, social understanding and credibility to be anything other then infamous. Your careere choices, thus far, will transcend a future career as someone who attempted to be famous, but never quite achieved it. And if you do, it will be the formality of fame that puts you on the covers of tabloids, while the public idly watches you plumit into the murky abyss shared with the likes of Spencer Pratt & Jon Gosslin who, i’m sure, will steal your money whilst there. Fortunately for the world, there are people who have and don’t have recognizable names, who have obtained artistic integrity and will one day, hopefully, bring that tangible artisticness into light again. Though, its hard to think thats achievable when people like You ali lohanare rendering the world of true talent by attempting to make your entitled ass noticed. How is this fair to the people who HAVE artistic integrity, or a mind? How is it fair to those who truly have something to offer the human race other then a dwindling last name and a few shitty films, both of which, solidified the idea that your just a celebrities sibling. I recognize that i might come across as harsh and no, i don’t personally know you, but its the actions that you take, that speak for you. You blatently don’t care how your recognized, its the objective to get famous and that is what makes you replaceable and a recycled idea .Well, im ashamed to have to be grouped into the same category of person as you. I would rather die a most painful death the be assoicated with the kind of careere your trying to make for your self. I hope i’m wrong because generally i’m not a very judgmental person, but in the case of you, that is MY entitlement.”

Oh, SNAP.  Not sure if this is the real deal or not, but the author makes some good points.  Should also be noted that Ali Lohan is being “home-schooled” by her mother Dina.  High on the list of curriculum?  Shopping, vacations, fashion shows, failed reality TV series, and going to nightclubs.  At 16.  Good thing she already looks like a 40 year old.  It should also be noted that Frances Bean was rumoured to be in the running for the title role in Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland but  decided to go to college.  Here’s hoping she learns how to spell while attending. No word yet on how Dina Lohan is going to react – she’s probably still strung out from whatever she got up to last night, but trust me she will.

 Michael Bay has announced that Transformers 3 will hit theatres July 1, 2011.   There was originally some question as to when the third film in the critically panned, but massively popular franchise would come out.  No details have been given about plot (There was a plot in the last one? Really???) but in a statement Michael Bay posted the following on his Shoot the Edit site…

“Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.

Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I’m flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.

P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.

Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3.

Michael”

Zing!  Megan Fox just got served.   My guess is her publicist will be putting in overtime shortly.
