Wedding Crashers John Travolta and Robin Williams

Old Dogs_John-travolta_Robin-williams
John Travolta and Robin Williams once crashed a wedding together.

The American actors decided after a night of drinking together in Santa Barbara, California, they would join in with the celebrations next door to the bar they were at.

John said, “We were having fun, starting to relax, when we saw there was a wedding next door. We figured we’d crash it.”

At first, guests didn’t realize the actors, who were both TV stars in the late 70s, when the nuptials took place, were the real stars of shows ‘Welcome Back, Kotter’ and ‘Mork and Mindy’.

John, 55, added, “They figured out who we were. Some guy yelled out, ‘Hey, they really are Mork and Vinnie Barbarino!’ ”

The pair were reunited on the set of their latest film, comedy ’Old Dogs’, but their off-the-wall antics and on-set jokes proved too much for some of their co-stars to cope with.

John’s wife Kelly Preston, who plays Robin’s love interest in the movie, said, “The hardest part of being in a scene with any of these guys was not laughing and ruining every single take.

“And if you did laugh, the director just let us go with it, because they’re going to be goofy and try to make you laugh.”

‘Old Dogs’ – which is released next March – follows a pair of ageing sports stars played by John and Robin who are charged with looking after a pair of seven-year-old twins Robin’s character never realized he fathered.

Miley Cyrus Hates Twilight Films

miley_cyrus1
Miley Cyrus hates the ‘Twilight’ movies because she doesn’t believe in vampires.

The ‘Hannah Montana’ star, who has just signed up with ‘Twilight’ producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey to star in ‘Wings’, a fantasy movie which is similar in plot to the ‘Twilight’ movies, doesn’t get why so many people love the story about a school girl who falls in love with a vampire.

The 16-year-old singer said, “I’ve never seen it and I never will. I don’t believe in it. I don’t like vampires. I don’t like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I’m watching my TV at night. I don’t like it. I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like the shirts. I don’t like any of it.”

But Miley admits she is probably one of the only teenagers who won’t be rushing to see the new film, ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’, when it hits cinemas this weekend.

She is quoted as saying, “I feel really lame because everyone’s, like, so excited. I’m like, ‘Don’t even talk about it.’ ”

Nicolas Cage’s Former Business Manager Files Counter Suit

nicolas-cage
Nicolas Cage’s former business manager has filed a cross complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court against the star.

Samuel J. Levin, who was branded “incompetent” by the actor over his financial advice, which Nicolas claimed has led him towards financial ruin, insists the ‘Con Air’ star was already in deep debt when he hired him in 2001.

In the complaint filed last week, Levin insisted Cage refused to listen to his advice, resulting in him having an unpaid tax bill believed to be around $6 million.

He said, “From the start of our Business Management Agreement he knew about his perilous financial situation and he knew he was behind on paying his taxes.”

The business manager claims he “warned” the actor he needed to earn a minimum of $30 million a year to support his lavish lifestyle and agreed a string of financial objectives which included selling “more than a dozen” of his cars and his $1.6 million comic book collection.

However, following a “string of hit films”, the 45-year-old actor started splashing out again and “set off on a spending binge of epic proportions” and by July 2008 Cage owned 15 homes – including two castles – four yachts, a Gulfstream jet, millions of dollars worth of jewellery and art and an island in the Bahamas.

Despite being warned to slow his spending, the actor went on to buy another 22 cars,- including nine Rolls Royces – three houses, 47 pieces of artwork and exotic item purchases and 12 pieces of expensive jewellery, with Levin claiming his advice was “ignored and rebuked”.

Levin was eventually fired, with the actor filing his original suit shortly after his 2008 tax return was filed.

Last week, Cage lost two of his New Orleans homes due to foreclosure auction.

Rihanna Wants Heavy Metal Record

Rihanna
Rihanna wanted her new album to have a heavy metal influence.

The Barbados-born singer, who made a return to the UK this week to preview her LP ‘Rated R’ and it’s dark new sound, wanted it to be even rockier but her record label had a “seizure”.

The 21-year-old star approached guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, of US band Extreme, to play on the record but Rihanna’s record label stopped the collaboration.

Nuno told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, “I think the label had a seizure so they went down another route.”

However, Rihanna was joined by Nuno on stage at her London show at the 02 Brixton Academy on Monday night November 11, and after the performance he was honored to join her.

The 43-year-old rocker said, “I’ve been asked to play with pop artists in the past but turned them down because they didn’t really get the vibe. But when I spoke to Rihanna she was totally into transforming herself into a heavy rock chick.”

At her after-party at London nightspot Mahiki on Monday, Rihanna partied with boy band JLS, singer Mr Hudson and Chipmunk.

She said, “I love British guys, they are so sweet. And the ones here tonight are so talented.”

The concert was Rihanna’s first live show since she was assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown in February.

Evan Chandler, father of Jackson accuser, dead in apparent suicide

jordan chandler michael jackson

Evan Chandler, father of Jordan and precipitate of the child molestation case that arguably lead to Jackson’s downfall, was found dead in his luxury apartment of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

According to RadarOnline, Chandler did not leave a note:

“There was no note found in the apartment but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition. A doctor based at Colanta Hematology in Bayonne, NJ, had called the concierge, asking him check on Mr. Chandler’s apartment as Mr. Chandler had missed an appointment. It was thanks to the concierge’s actions that Mr. Chandler’s body was discovered. Mr. Chandler’s body has now been returned to his family.”

In the early 90s, Evan Chandler reported Michael Jackson to police in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara for the alleged molestation of Chandler’s son Jordan:

In the recent book “Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson,” celebrity journalist Ian Halperin wrote about an alleged conversation between Evan Chandler and his ex-wife’s second husband, in which Chandler, upset that Jackson had cut ties to the Chandlers, threatened that he was going to go after the singer for money. “And if I go through with this, I win big time,” Chandler allegedly said. “There’s no way I lose. … I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever. June will lose [custody] and Michael’s career will be over.”

The case was settled out of court in 1994 and Jackson wasn’t convicted of a crime- under the terms of the settlement, Jackson admitted ““personal injuries arising out of claims of negligence” to the boy.

Janet Jackson Confirms Split Up With Jermaine Dupri

janet-jackson_
Janet Jackson has confirmed she has split from boyfriend Jermaine Dupri.

The singer, who was first rumored to have separated from the music executive in July, admitted she didn’t keep in touch with any of her ex-lovers apart from Jermaine during a US radio interview.

Speaking on Atlanta’s ‘Bert Show’, Janet said, “I’m not the type of girl that stays in touch with your ex like that. But Jermaine is one of my best friends. I love him to death. We’re still connected. We’re still good friends. We still talk.”

Janet, 43, was reported to have ended her seven-year relationship with Jermaine, 37, in the summer in the wake of her pop superstar brother Michael’s shock death in June.

At the time, it was claimed the ‘All For You’ singer decided to call time on the romance because she felt suffocated by her lover.

A mutual friend of the pair said, “You shouldn’t mix business with pleasure. Janet felt their lives were too crossed and they should have kept things separate.”

Another source said, “They’ve been moving in different directions for a while now.”

Jermaine produced several tracks on the 43-year-old star’s last two albums – ‘20 Y.O.’, released in 2006, and 2008’s ‘Discipline’ – and she felt he was becoming too involved in all aspects of her life.

Katy Perry’s Mature Songs

katyperry
Katy Perry has promised her new songs will be more mature – because she now knows how to “handle” boys.

The ‘I Kissed a Girl’ singer, who is currently dating British comedian Russell Brand, insists her follow-up material to debut album ‘One of the Boys’ will be influenced by her romantic experiences.

She said, “My new songs are a little bit more mature. I know how to handle boys now.

“Actually, I don’t even mess with boys anymore, I mess with men. It’s different because on ‘One of the Boys’ I was, like, 17 to 23 and some of those songs, like half the record, I wrote when I was 19 – and that’s such a different place than you are when you’re 25.”

The singer also revealed she has started “saving” details of her life, so her new songs will be more honest.

She added, “When I sit down to talk about things, sometimes I don’t give as much detail as I used to but I think I am saving it for the songs – and the songs I’m just gushing.

“From the few songs that I’ve written so far, they are very honest, if not more honest than the last ones.”

Robert Pattinson’s Dog Dream

robert_pattinson
Robert Pattinson wants to be a dog.

‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ actor feels a “deep connection” with canines and if he was to swap from being a human, would want to become a domesticated four legged pet.

When asked what he would like to become, he said, “I think I’d be a dog. The lifestyle of a dog has always fascinated me: You sleep, sit around, get stroked, eat and get walked from time to time. That’s great!

“There is a deep connection between me and dogs.”

If he couldn’t completely transform himself physically and had to settle with getting a different job, Robert, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the movie franchise, would like to be a music producer.

He said, “Being a music producer would be the perfect job for me. Or I would like to write.

“In any case it would be something creative. Perhaps also a stockbroker. I like everything that is hectic.”

Robert, who wrote two songs on the soundtrack to ‘New Moon,’ also said that his guitar is one of the things he can never be without.

He added to Gala.de, “I like to take my guitar everywhere. I’m actually quite frugal but I’ve bought a 1951 vintage electric guitar after filming ‘Twilight’ in Vancouver.

“That was the first time in my life that I felt really decadent. Normally, I don’t need any luxury. Look at me, I wear the same clothes nearly every day.”

Pamela Anderson’s Cocaine Confession

pamela-anderson
Pamela Anderson has confessed to taking cocaine.

The former ‘Baywatch’ actress experimented with the Class A drug when she was younger but insists she didn’t enjoy the effects the illegal substance had on her.

Pamela, 42, said in an interview with British talk show host Jeremy Kyle which will air today November 18, “Well I’ve tried it and I don’t like it. I’m completely hyper and it actually doesn’t work for me. I’ve dabbled in things.”

The blonde star, who has two sons, Brandon, 12, and 11-year-old Dylan, from her failed marriage to Motley Crue rocker Tommy Lee, admits she still drinks on occasions and can still “get crazy” when she wants to.

She explained, “I haven’t had a drink in a month, I don’t drink. Champagne – sometimes I’ll drink it and I’ll get a little crazy, doing backflips and, you know, wrestling people on the floor, but I’m taking a break right now, my friend calls it ‘detox so you can retox’.”

Pamela is currently living in a trailer with her sons while her Malibu home is being renovated, and she admits the troubled development has turned into such a nightmare she is going to sell the property.

She said, “I’m going to sell it. I hate it. People commit suicide over constructions. Relationships break down over constructions and I can see why. It rips your heart out.”

The actress-and-TV star has spent millions of dollars renovating the house, including having solid gold tiles put down around the pool and platinum tiles laid in other parts of the property, and is being sued by five building firms over unpaid bills.
