Megan Fox Avoids Internet

megan-fox

Megan Fox would be a “drug-addled lunatic” if she ever Googled herself.

The ‘Jennifer’s Body’ actress lives like a “recluse” to avoid reading negative comments because she can’t cope with criticism.

The 23-year-old star said, “There are those who have a Google Alert on themselves and read everything everyone says and then there are those who pretend it isn’t happening.

“I’m one of the latter. I could never pore over what’s said about me. It wouldn’t work. I’d be a complete lunatic, drug-addled and out of my mind. Instead I stay in and ignore it all. I’m actually kind of a recluse.”

Megan has also come to terms with the perception that she is nothing but a pretty face.

Even though she insists she isn’t attractive, the brunette beauty is certain her acting talent will outshine her looks before long.

She explained to Total Film magazine, “I’m totally aware that I’ve never given anyone a reason to praise me for my talents. So to sit here and complain, ‘Why don’t people recognize me as an actress?’ would be outrageous.

“It’s my responsibility to prove to them that they should. I haven’t done that yet, so I’m not going to whine about it.”

Pamela Anderson Denies She Is Broke

Pamela Anderson has denied claims she can’t afford to pay for renovations to her Malibu home.

The former “Baywatch” actress admits she is being sued by five building firms over unpaid bills, but insists she is only withholding payment while she decides if their invoices are “fair.”

In a statement released by her management team, the 42-year-old star said: “These reports are crazy and I cannot believe this has become a media issue. It is true that I am in a dispute with some of the contractors working on my home.”

“This is because after paying millions of dollars to build the house I continue to get bills from the contractors. My lawyers are reviewing the work done to see if the bills are fair. If they are, they’ll be paid. If they aren’t, they won’t be.”

Five contractors who have worked on Pamela’s new home have filed legal claims for a combined amount of over $433,000. It had been reported the blonde beauty was unable to pay because she has just $1,445 in available funds.

Beyonce Had Lindsay Lohan Thrown Out Of Her Own Dressing Room

beyonce-sings-at-last

Beyonce Knowles reportedly had Lindsay Lohan thrown out of her own dressing room because the singer wanted it for herself. The former Destiny’s Child star was performing at the F1 Rocks concert in Singapore over the weekend and had ordered her entourage to get her the largest dressing area backstage.

However, Lindsay – who was hosting the event for British TV network Channel 4 – had already claimed the room for herself as she arrived before and was left upset when she was told she would have to vacate it.

The “Mean Girls” actress told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’ve been a bit down. It was a strange night. Everyone was being aggressive and bothering me. I really didn’t like it.”

In the lead up to her performance, Beyonce made her support acts sweat as she wouldn’t allow them to use her air conditioning.

Although temperatures backstage approached 90 degrees and people were passing out, Beyonce’s entourage refused to switch on her personal air cooling fans as they were just for her.

British DJ Seb Fontaine – who suffered heatstroke – told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “We were told, ‘No they are Beyonce’s fans.’ I wasn’t asking to play her drum kit on stage. I just wanted to keep cool.”

In her 139-page rider, Beyonce also demanded six beauty chambers, fitness equipment, an authentic fruit platter and tea and honey.

Other acts to perform at the event – which took place at Fort Canning Park – included Black Eyed Peas and Gwen Stefani.

DJ AM Death Ruled “Accidental”

DJ AM’s death has been ruled “accidental.” The New York City Medical Examiner has determined the musician – who was found dead in his New York apartment last month – died of “acute intoxication” due to “substance abuse.”

Gossip website TMZ claims the official coroner’s report reveals the 36-year-old star – real name Adam Goldstein – was taking cocaine, oxycodone, Vicodin, Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Benadryl and levamisole at the time of his death.

The star, who was once engaged to Nicole Richie, had battled drug addictions in the past. His funeral – which was held at Los Angeles’ Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary on September 2 – paid tribute to his attempts to get sober.

An invitation to the service read: “The format of the evening will be in the style of an open 12-step meeting. Adam’s friends both from his life in recovery, as well as those from other areas of his life are welcome.”

“We ask only that everyone adhere to the tradition of anonymity and let what they hear there, and who they see there, stay there.”

TLC cuts John, now it’s just “Kate Plus 8″

Jon Gosselin

Dad of 8 and d-list playboy Jon Gosselin has been dumped from the title and main storyline of TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus 8.

Starting November 2nd, the show will officially change titles to Kate Plus 8. No specific reasons were given for the switch, and Jon will still appear in some episodes, but speculation points to Jon’s continual frat boy behavior. Even before the Gosselin’s impending divorce was announced, Jon was caught out by paparazzi partying with college girls, schtupping the daughter of Kate’ plastic surgeon and generally behaving caddishly. Since the split, he has been photographed publicly kissing girlfriend Hailey Glassman while Kate stays home with their eight children.

It seems America’s interest in the Gosselins has faded tremendously as well. While Jon and Kate’s fifth season premiere grabbed a record 9.8 million viewers, only 4.2 million people tuned in for the new crop of episodes on August 3rd, and only 1.2 million people tuned in this past Monday.

A source said, “She spent about $3,000 and walked out of the store with 10 bags. She got a bunch of candy and shirts for her kids and got a bunch of the couture lollipops to give to her back-up dancers.”

Among the items Britney, who was in Las Vegas for the final US show of her ‘Circus’ world tour, bought were a box of Sugar Factory milk chocolate and 25 $25 lollipops.

After paying for the items the store sent another $2,500-worth of candy to Britney’s room at the Mirage.

Britney pulled out all the stops for her final American show.

Barry Manilow and pop star Lance Bass were in the audience, and Britney spiced up the routine to ‘Breathe On Me’ by singling out Lance for a sizzling lap dance.

She also performed at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino on Saturday, September 26, as former Spice Girls star Mel B and ‘Hannah Montana’ actress Miley Cyrus looked on.

Kylie Minogue’s Boyfriend Wants to Have Children

KylieMinogue-AndresVelencoso

Kylie Minogue’s boyfriend wants to have children with her.

Underwear model Andres Velencoso, who began dating 41-year-old Kylie last year, has denied reports they are set to tie the knot, but admits they are planning a future together.

He told Britain’s Hello! magazine, “I don’t know where people get that information, but no, I’m not getting married. Well, I guess that I will one day, but it’s not in my immediate plans.

“Love is number one in my priorities now I’m in love, I definitely want children some day.”

Andres, 31, admits he wasn’t a fan of Kylie’s music before they started dating, confessing he couldn’t even name one of her songs.

He laughed, “To tell you the truth, I didn’t really know much of her music. But now I do. Kylie’s a very creative person.”

The Spanish hunk hopes to build on his career in the coming months, and make his family proud.

Andres, whose mother died seven years ago, said, “Right now, I just plan to go on modeling. I guess it was my mother and sister who encouraged me to try it out, my father was more keen for me to go into the family business.

“I like modeling, I’ve been in a good place for the last two years. But in the fashion world, we men are often just used for decoration.”
