‘Glee’ to do ‘Rocky Horror’ episode, confirmed at Comic-Con

The small screen musical dramedy with a fanatical fan base (Glee) is set to pay homage to another musical with a crazy-ass fandom.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been confirmed as one of Glee‘s episode themes for the upcoming season, among other tidbits leaked by Ryan Murphy at Comic-Con. (And on that subject, why don’t they just go ahead and rename it “Fandom-Con?”) Murphy says details for the episode are still tightly under wraps:

Plans for the post-Super Bowl episode are in the works, but Murphy promises something big. “Nothing says Super Bowl like ‘Glee,’ ” he joked. “We’re in talks to do a huge tribute episode but the deal hasn’t closed yet so I can’t say.”

Murphy also says that the second season will focus more on peripheral characters, and that there might even be a girl on girl kiss. Of the new storylines, he explains:

“Those characters pop so much that I want to see a whole episode of Brittany, a whole episode of Artie and Tina,” he said early in the session, adding that there will be more tribute episodes.

Lastly, he leaked a bit of a spoiler, telling fans that Tina’s affections for Artie wane in favor of Mike, also known as “Other Asian.”

Christina Applegate’s ‘Weird’ Pregnancy Cravings


Pregnant actress Christina Applegate is craving avocados and other “weird” foods.

The ‘Samantha Who?’ actress has been hungry for obscure treats at unconventional hours since she discovered she is expecting her first child with her musician fiance Martyn Lenoble.

She told ETonline, “Am I getting cravings? Everything, I’m craving everything. Besides avocados, just weird things at weird hours. Food. Food’s a craving!”

The 38-year-old star wouldn’t reveal the sex of her unborn child, or announce how far into the pregnancy she is, but confirmed everything is going well.

She said, “That is for me to know – I’m somewhere between zero and nine months. How’s that? Does that answer questions?

“I feel OK… I feel great.”

Christina is also adamant she will continue to wear high heels as her bump expands, because the added height balances out her growing tummy.

She quipped, “I have to always wear heels, because as we grow out width ways, we need to grow up this way. They offset the impending growth of width!”



Madonna Planning to Move Back to England


Madonna is reportedly planning to move back to Britain.

The singer, who relocated from London to New York following her divorce from film director Guy Ritchie in 2008, is currently in London directing her new movie ‘W.E.’, about late British monarch King Edward VIII’s decision to abdicate the throne for his American divorcee lover Wallis Simpson.

Despite originally planning to only stay for the six-month shoot, Madonna has rediscovered her love for the UK capital and told ex- husband Guy she wants to move back to Britain for good.

An insider told the Daily Star newspaper, “Guy says she talks about their home in Wiltshire, the kids and their friends in London. She seems nostalgic for her old life. She had built up a big circle of friends and fell in love with London. She’ll always love New York but she feels more at ease in London.”

Madonna – who has four children, Lourdes, 13, Rocco, nine, Mercy, five, and four-year-old David – is believed to be keen to move back to Britain so she can reconnect with her old friends.

The source explained, “The person she spends most time with is her daughter Lourdes but she is desperate for more adult company.”

Madonna, 51, previously said she fell out of love with the UK because she couldn’t stand being referred to as ‘Madge’, her British nickname.

She said, “That’s one of the reasons I left England – so I don’t have to hear the word ‘Madge’ anymore. Some people say ‘Madge’ is a colloquialism for a boring middle-aged housewife. And other people say it’s short for Majesty.”



Jason Orange Celebrates Red Hot Birthday


Jason Orange celebrated his 40th birthday with a curry feast on a hotel rooftop.

The Take That star tucked into several spicy dishes at a lavish joint party with his twin brother Justin.

The duo booked out an entire hotel in their hometown Manchester from 4pm yesterday, July 25, until midday today, July 26, for family and friends.

Jason only sent out invitations a few days ago to keep the bash secret. His bandmate Howard Donald arrived at the hotel last night at 6pm with an overnight bag and the rest of the band are said to have turned up at the Great John Street hotel later last night.

As well as curries, millionaire Jason also served up fish and chips and a hog roast in a lavish marquee decorated with fairy lights erected on the hotel’s roof terrace.

A source told The Sun newspaper, “Jason pulled out all the stops to make this a night he’ll never forget.

“The roof terrace was covered with a huge marquee and twinkly lights, and he had all sorts of surprises up his sleeve.

“The food alone was something else – he ordered curries galore, fish and chips and even a huge hog roast.”

After the meal, guests danced to Take That hits including ‘Shine’ and ‘Rule the World’ as well as hit single ‘No Regrets’ by Robbie Williams, who has just rejoined the band.

The party comes ahead of Take That’s new album, their first with the full original line-up since Robbie quit in 1995, and scheduled 52-date arena tour.



Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva’s Relationship Trigger


Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva’s relationship allegedly imploded during a tree-planting ceremony for their young daughter.

Tensions between the couple reportedly reached their conclusion on February 18, when the pair invited close friends and family members to their mansion in Malibu, California, to celebrate the arrival of baby Lucia – then aged three months – by planting a tree in her honour.

However, a source told RadarOnline.com the ‘Braveheart’ actor lost his temper during the day, and accused the Russian singer of “smiling too much” while talking to one of the male gardeners.

Just hours later, at approximately 6pm, Oksana took baby Lucia and left the lavish home and moved to one of Mel’s other homes in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles.

Mel, who has been accused of domestic violence against Oksana, faces a criminal investigation on domestic battery charges by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and is part of a Department of Children and Family Services investigation, which is looking into claims Mel left Lucia bruised and hit Oksana while she was holding her.

Before Oksana left Mel in February, it has been claimed he pulled a gun on her and threatened to shoot her, their daughter and her 12-year-old son Alexander, before turning the weapon on himself.

Alexander, who is the son of former James Bond star Timothy Dalton, was interviewed by child protection services earlier this month about the January 6 incident.

Mel, 54, has now arranged for an independent observer to be present whenever he visits his daughter, to stop Oksana from making any further accusations against him and to speed up the ongoing child protection investigation.



Lindsay Lohan Has Made Friends in Jail


Lindsay Lohan has made friends in jail.

The 24-year-old actress, who started her sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, last Tuesday July 20, has gotten close to some other inmates after settling in.

Her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley told UsMagazine.com, “She is doing fine. She has made some friends.”

Lindsay is expected to serve less than 14 days of the 90-day sentence she was given for breaching the terms of probation set for her in 2007 for a driving under the influence (DUI) conviction.

While Holley could not confirm an exact release date, she explained, “I would like to ensure that she has received all the time credits to which she is entitled [from her previous time in custody]. I am hopeful that her sentence will be reduced once those credits are properly factored in.”

And Lindsay’s lawyer, who briefly quit last week before taking up the actress’ case again, insisted numerous reports of preferential treatment for the star were incorrect.

Holley revealed, “We are not asking for special treatment from the court or the sheriff, nor is she receiving special treatment.”

It was revealed last week the actress was cheered by other inmates shouting “we love you Lindsay” as she arrived at the prison.

Prisoner Tiffany Hawes, who was being released from the centre at the time of the actress’ arrival, said: “Lindsay was crying when she came in. She was handcuffed but seemed calm. We all started saying, ‘God bless you Lindsay,’ and saying, ‘Hi’ to her and then she smiled at us.”



Gentleman Orlando Bloom Praised By In-Laws


Orlando Bloom has won over his new in-laws.

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star, who married Australian lingerie model Miranda Kerr in a secret ceremony last week, has been praised by his new mother-in-law for being a “true gentleman”.

Therese Kerr told People, “Orlando being the true gentleman he is, followed tradition by asking for Miranda’s hand in marriage and we had no hesitation. They truly are a gorgeous couple, are very much in love and bring out the best in each other.

“All we have ever wanted is for our children to be healthy and happy, and we have never seen Miranda healthier and happier.”

This is not the first time the British-born actor, who tied the knot with the brunette beauty just one month after announcing their engagement, has been praised by his new wife’s family.

Miranda’s grandmother, Ann Kerr, recently applauded her granddaughter’s choice of partner.

She said, “We are so happy for her. They are well-suited and the family is delighted for them. They are good together. They laugh and giggle. When we are all together, I watch them and see that he’s very attentive to Miranda. He must be a nice boy otherwise Miranda wouldn’t be with him.

“All I want is the best for her. She is just lovely, from the top of her head to the bottom of her toes.”



Naomie Harris Doesn’t Want Hollywood Life


Naomie Harris would never want to live in Hollywood.

The British actress, who starred in the second and third ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movies, enjoys going to Los Angeles for work but she couldn’t be there permanently because she doesn’t respect the ethics of the movie business.

Naomie, who lives in north London near her family said, “To work, there’s just no place better – but when it comes to living there it’s just not my town. I don’t admire the ethics of the business, and the way that success and money are seen as being the ideal goal for people. I just don’t value that.”

The 33-year-old screen beauty also claims Hollywood is full of phoney people who are overly nice but don’t really mean what they say.

She added to Live magazine, “Hollywood ‘friends are only after one thing. They’re looking out for the next big thing and they don’t want to miss out on you just in case. And it’s so small a community that everything gets out. And everyone is so nice – that’s obviously not true! I was so naive I thought everyone meant everything they said! It took me a long time to realise that they didn’t mean it when they said, ‘Come over and stay, come and visit.”



Sienna Miller and Jude Law Plans Countryside Wedding


Sienna Miller reportedly wants to marry Jude Law in the English countryside.

The actress and the actor, who have been together for around nine months after rekindling their romance, are trying to decide where to tie the knot and although Jude is keen to marry abroad Sienna seemingly has her heart set on a big ceremony in England.

A source said, “They are very happy and want to get married. But they are still undecided about where to tie the knot. She loves the idea of an English country wedding, but Jude wants as much privacy as possible and thinks a small wedding abroad would be better.”

Sienna was recently seen walking around Vaudelnay in the Loire Valley – where Jude’s parents live – holding a “wedding file”, leading to speculation that would be the location for the big day.

The pair have previously been engaged but ended their relationship in 2005 after it was revealed Jude was having an affair with his children’s nanny Daisy Wright. But they got back together in October 2009 and are now set to say “I do”.
