Rumor Claims Lil Boosie Dead

It’s a sure sign of the northern summer when the fake celebrity death circuit gets into full swing, and today’s rumor claims Lil Boosie is dead.

There’s no origin for the Lil Booise dead rumor that we can find, except perhaps a case of confusion: Lil Booise may soon be dead as he’s facing the death penalty on a murder charge.

According to reports, Lil Booise was indicted on the murder charge by a Grand Jury June 17. He is accused of murdering Terry Boyd in his home in October 2009 “over turf.” If that’s not bad enough, he’s also been linked to at least five other murders, as well as conspiracy to sell codeine, ecstasy and marijuana in prison.

So all we can add is that Lil Boosie is not dead, Lil Boosie has not died. However, he may soon end up dead in an electric chair.



Oprah Accused Of Rigging Votes Against Zach Anner

The internet rumor mill is in full swing today with the suggestion that Oprah may be rigging votes against popular reality TV show contestant Zach Anner.

The rumors surfaced when another contestant by the name of Dr. Phyllis mysteriously gained more than 300,000 votes, surpassing the previously first placed Anner in 20 minutes.

A screenshot doing the rounds (above) is being used as evidence of vote rigging.

There is no proof that Oprah is rigging votes against Zach Anner, but it would be sad to see Anner lose. The self professed “wheelchair bound lady magnet” has been a viral sensation, and would make a worthy winner of the contest.



Holy Crap! New Inception movie trailer hints at awesome movie

I’ve been sort of following the build-up around Chris Nolan’s, director of Dark Knight, new movie called Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio. My first thoughts back when word was trickling out about the project was kind of blah but as more and more information leaked out the more interesting the movie sounded.

That is if the idea of people capable of stealing into dreams strikes you as an interesting premise for a heist type movie. If you do (or even if you don’t) check out this new trailer out for the movie. Chances are you’ll start making plans to see it when it hits theaters July 11.



Leona Lewis’ Tour Crew Threatens to Quit


Leona Lewis’ tour crew are threatening to quit over her catering policy.

The 25-year-old singer, who has been a strict vegetarian since the age of 12 – has banned all animal products from her ‘Labyrinth’ shows, much to the fury of her staff, who can’t even bring in meat from outside.

A source told The Sun newspaper, “There are going to be murders. Leona has demanded that only veggie food be made available for everyone – and members of the crew are threatening to quit. She will not even allow food to be bought off-site then brought in.”

The singer was also blasted for her “out-of-control” diva behavior.

The insider added, “She is getting a reputation as a bit of a pain in the a**e. She is such a diva. It’s getting out of control.”

The crew aren’t the only people who are unhappy about the ban on meat.

Australian songstress Gabriella Cilmi, who is supporting Leona on the tour, also expressed concern over the vegetarian menu.

Speaking before the start of the tour, she said, “All I know so far is that the food’s going to be vegan, and I’m not sure how I’m going to cope with that.”



Jerry Seinfeld rags on Lady Gaga, calls her a “jerk”

Jerry Seinfeld, who you may remember from 90s sitcom Seinfeld, took some shots at Lady Gaga during a New York area radio show after the pop-tart was spotted behaving badly in his seats at a Met game.

Gaga, who showed up at a recent Mets-Padres game in lingerie and flipped off photographers, was moved to Seinfeld’s box seats in the seventh inning. Jerry wasn’t impressed by her headline grabbing antics:

“This woman is a jerk. I hate her,” Seinfeld joked during an interview on WFAN radio Monday night. “I can’t believe they put her in my box, which I paid for…”

“You give people the finger and you get upgraded? Is that the world we’re living in now? he said.

Seinfeld admits to being generally tired of Lady Gaga overall, adding:

“I don’t know what these young people think or how they promote their careers,” he said. “I’m older, I’m 56. I look at Lady Gaga the way Keith Hernandez watches these kids when they pull the pocket out, they wear the inside-out pocket. … Do you think he understands that? He can’t understand that. That’s a new game, that’s kids.”

He added, “I’m not one of these all-publicity-is-good people. People talk about you need exposure — you could die of exposure.”

The former comic did say that he felt the singer was “talented” and he didn’t know why she felt the need to be “doing this stuff.”



Jay-Z Sued By Private Jet Company


Jay-Z is being sued by a private jet company.

The music mogul, who is married to Beyonce Knowles, reportedly owes Air Platinum Holding over $130,000 after failing to pay his full bill for services he used in 2009.

According to gossip website TMZ, Jay-Z – real name Shawn Carter – racked up a bill of $250,000 after flying for 55 hours with the company, but only paid enough of his bill to cover 37 hours of their time.

It’s believed that an hour of flight time costs $4,500, meaning his total outstanding flight bill is around $81,000.

He also owes $8,500 for 17 hours of domestic catering, $3,000 for catering on four international flights and $8,500 in international fees.

The ‘Big Pimping’ rapper has also failed to settle $12,285 of taxes and the $24200 cost of a luxury trip to England, bringing the total debt to $137, 485.

Meanwhile, the 40-year-old star has revealed plans to launch his own range of headphones in a partnership between his own Roc Nation company and Skullcandy.

He said, “Our passion is creating amazing music. We’re dedicated to delivering the best in live performances and now with the Roc Nation and Skullcandy partnership, we’re offering the best way for people to experience the soundtrack of their lives,



Simon Cowell’s Fiancee Makes Times For Love


Simon Cowell’s fiancee wants to spend more time with him.

The former ‘American Idol’ judge, who got engaged to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy in February, is flying the brunette beauty from Los Angeles to London today, June 22, after she reportedly grew increasingly unhappy at not seeing him for several weeks.

A source, “Mezhgan has been keeping a low profile in recent weeks.

“She and Simon have still been in regular contact, only by phone, but they haven’t spent time with one another.

“For Mezhgan, enough was enough. She confronted Simon about it and he agreed something needed to be done.

“So he is paying for her to fly first class from LAX to London’s Heathrow. She will be landing this afternoon at 3:30pm.”

The pair, who dated for six months before getting engaged, will use their time in the UK capital for Mezghan to get to know Simon’s British friends and family better, as well as finding time alone to reaffirm their romance.

The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper, “He loves her dearly and wants to make her feel like his number one.

“Hopefully some quality time together will help them resolve their differences and cement their future together.

“They will have a couple of romantic nights in and out and mull things over.

“Mezhgan will also catch up with Simon’s friends and family while she’s here and generally re-familiarise herself with Simon’s life.”



Russell Brand and Katy Perry to Wear Matching Latex Outfits in Their Wedding


Russell Brand and Katy Perry will wear matching latex outfits to their wedding.

The pair, who got engaged in December after a whirlwind three-month romance, are said to have enlisted the help of Lady Gaga’s costume designer to prepare the skin-tight numbers ahead of their nuptials in the autumn.

A friend revealed, “Russell and Katy have both got wicked sense of humours and are big fans of Lady Gaga. They wanted unique outfits and no one dresses like her anywhere in the civilised world.

“The wedding will certainly be different.”

Atsuko Kudo, the fetish-wear specialist who famously created the red latex nun’s habit Gaga wears in her ‘Alejandro’ video, is reportedly “delighted” to have been given the task of designing the $4,450 outfits.

The source added to The Sun newspaper, “They have approached Kudo and she was delighted to take on the job.”

It has previously been claimed Katy is planning to wear a daring midriff-baring wedding gown, while Russell had promised his attire for the big day will be no less shocking.

He said, “I think it would be unfair to say this day is all about me.

“I’m going to wear a tuxedo and a top hat with no pants and I’m going to paint my penis with lipstick. This is her day. It’s not about those mental images.”



Lady Gaga Admits Insecurity


Lady Gaga is insecure.

The eccentric singer, famed for her daring outfits, refuses to let herself give into her feelings of self-doubt because she needs to maintain her pop persona at all times.

She said, “When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say, ‘B***h, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.’ ”

The Bad Romance hitmaker, real name Stefani Germanotta, takes her image so seriously, she wouldn’t even let ill-health stop her from dressing up.

She explained to Rolling Stone magazine, “If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I’d come out as Gaga.”

Despite her grueling dance routines, the star also refuses to drink water on stage as she thinks showing signs of weakness such as dehydration would let her fans down.

She added, “I don’t even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music.”

Gaga takes her inspiration from the late Michael Jackson, who died of acute Propofol intoxication last June, because of the way he carried on even after his hair caught fire during filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1984.

She said, “Michael got burned, and he lifted that glittered glove so damn high so his fans could see him, because he was in the art of show business.”



‘Bachelor’ couple Jake and Vienna split up

Fameball Jake Pavelka of The Bachelor and Dancing With The Stars has split with “fiancee” Vienna Girardi just three short months after the finale of the show that brought them together.

Pavelka surprised the show’s viewers by choosing Girardi over the more mom-friendly Tenley Molzahn. After the finale, Jake gushed about the awesomeness of selecting a bride via a highly dramatized, incredibly sexist and horribly catty contrived environment:

“It’s a giant love story,” Jake told E! Online in March, before turning to Girardi and saying, “You’re my best friend in the whole world, and that’s the most important thing to me.”

Girardi added, “The only thing I got out of this was the love of my life. And that’s all I wanted. The only thing I went on the show to find was him, and I got everything I wanted.”

It’s unclear how the “giant love story” unraveled, but Vienna was spotted out carousing with “Greek” actor Gregory Michael at some kind of a children’s cancer benefit. Michael, of course, instantly spilled about the breakup to any press who would listen:

“We hit it off and hung out and danced the night away,” Gregory told the mag. “She made it very clear that it was over with Jake.”

Pavelka’s rep asked for “privacy” for the reality show participants and confirmed the split:

“Jake and Vienna have split and appreciate the respect for their privacy at this time.”

Pavelka is said to be consoling himself by doing a guest spot on Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva.”
