Fat Joe Calls Daddy Yankee A Sell Out

“I opened the newspaper and got sick to my stomach,” Joe continued. “I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that. The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We’re fighting an unjust war. It’s the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war. … We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he’ll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he’s just not educated on politics.”

Jennifer Aniston to return to NBC

NEW YORK (AP) -- Jennifer Aniston will return home to NBC, the TV network where she became a breakout star on the hit sitcom "Friends."

She's currently filming a guest appearance on the network's "30 Rock," Aniston publicist Stephen Huvane confirmed Friday.

There were no immediate details on the role Aniston will play — as herself or a fictitious character — or the episode's planned air date.

The New York-based series, which begins its third season in October, stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin in a behind-the-scenes, sometimes self-directed spoof of a television network and the huge corporation that owns it. The show has won a modest but devoted following, and critical raves. Awards include Golden Globes, a Peabody and last year's Emmy for outstanding comedy series.

With its show-biz slant, it has become a haven for guest appearances by big names from entertainment — even politics, including Al Gore.

Another of the six-member "Friends" troupe, David Schwimmer, had a "30 Rock" guest shot last season.

Since "Friends" concluded its highly successful 10-year run in 2004, Aniston has concentrated on films, including "Friends with Money," "The Break-Up."

Hilary' Duff's father arrested

HOUSTON - A judge in Texas has ordered the father of actress and singer Hilary Duff to spend 10 days in jail for contempt of court.
ADVERTISEMENT

Bob Duff was led away in handcuffs Wednesday during a court hearing after Judge Thomas Stansbury in Houston determined he violated an injunction against selling assets without court approval.

The Houston Chronicle reported in its online edition that Bob Duff must pay into a court repository $367,537 he earned from selling stocks last month.

Bob Duff's attorney Robert Piro said his client would post bond and file an appeal.

Bob and Susan Duff are in the midst of a bitter divorce.

Stansbury determined Bob Duff should pay Susan $12,500 for Hilary's birthday party, which was the subject of the hearing. Her mother wanted $25,000 to pay for a present and party.

Neither Hilary, whose 21st birthday is Sept. 28, nor her sister Haylie were in court.

Dr. Dre's son found dead

LOS ANGELES - Dr. Dre’s 20-year-old son has died, the rapper’s publicist said Tuesday.

“Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr.,” publicist Lori Earl said in a statement.

Young Jr., who was named after his father, was found dead Saturday by his mother at their home in suburban Woodland Hills, county coroner’s Lt. John Kades said.

An autopsy was performed Monday, but the cause of death wasn’t likely to be determined for eight weeks while toxicology tests are done, Kades said.

Mike Myers to star in Tarantino's film "Bastard"

According to MSN, Mike Myers will be starring in a Qunetin Tarantino film called "Bastard" heres the scoop:

Quentin Tarantino turned John Travolta's entire career around with a memorable role in "Pulp Fiction," and now he's lending a similar hand to Mike Myers. According to Variety, the comedian who packed them in with the "Austin Powers" series and is the voice of the world famous green ogre "Shrek," is set to join the cast of the director's WWII thriller, "Inglorious Bastards."

No, this isn't some bizarre revamp of Myers character Fat Bastard from the "Powers" films. Instead, Tarantino's long-awaited drama will find Myers playing British General Ed Fenech, a military genius who helps devise a plan to take out a number of Nazi leaders. He'll join an already intriguing cast that includes Brad Pitt, Eli Roth (the "Hostel" director), B.J. Novak (the latest breakout star of "The Office") and another Tarantino comeback candidate, Nastassja Kinski ("Cat People").

While it's unclear how dramatic "Bastards" will be in tone, this isn't the first time Myers has stepped out of his over-the-top comedy comfort zone. In fact, he was one of the few actors to receive strong reviews in the 1998 drama "54." And that's a big compliment considering what a mess that misfire was.

Still, this role couldn't come at a better time. After the disappointing returns for this summer's "The Love Guru," the industry was questioning whether Myers could succeed at anything but the International Man of Mystery. And rumor had it that the failure of "Guru" had Myers working on putting "Austin Powers 4" on the fast track. It's still anyone's guess if and when that will occur, but, happily, "Bastards" will keep him busy once production begins Oct. 15 in Germany.

Iron Chef becoming a video game

Yep you heard it the popular show on the food network, is turning intoa video game for Wii, according BesWeek.tv here is the scoop:

Chopping up ingredients with the Wii remote.
Creating ice cream out of the secret ingredient: whether it’s prawns, asparagus, or back fat, you can shock and delight the judges by making it into ICE CREAM!
Knife fighting. There has to be some element of violence thrown in, it’s a VIDEO game! The idea that it would be possible to repeatedly stab Rachael Ray would make this game a top seller overnight.

Actual testing of your culinary knowledge. If meat isn’t cooked properly, or your sauce overpowers the secret ingredient, you get deductions.
Hilarious and random guest judges like Steven Schirripa, Bruce Vilanch, Joel McHale, Jewel, Bonecrusher, Anderson Cooper, and Andrew Firestone (who all appeared on the television show).
Option to play the original Japanese version of the game, with hilariously bad English dubbing.
Bonus round where you have to fight a Gordon-Ramsey-headed dragon that spits fire and curses at you.

Female rapper Da Brat sent to 3 years in prison

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — Da Brat was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for hitting a hostess in the head with a rum bottle during an altercation at a suburban Atlanta nightclub last fall.

The 34-year-old rapper, whose given name is Shawntae Harris, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in DeKalb County. Superior Court Judge Gail Flake sentenced her to three years behind bars and seven on probation, plus 200 hours of community service and completion of substance abuse treatment, mental evaluation and anger management classes.

Harris was at a private Halloween party at Studio 72, a club in Tucker, when she struck then-Atlanta Falcons cheerleader Shayla Stevens, who was working part-time as a hostess.

A police report indicated Harris and Stevens got into a squabble after they bumped into each other. Stevens walked away and moments later was hit in the face with the bottle.

She sustained a deep cut to the cheek and some swelling on the forehead, and has a permanent scar on her face as a result, officials said.

Recordings by Da Brat, a native of Chicago and a protege of Jermaine Dupri, include the song "Funkdafied." She also has appeared on reality shows such as "Celebrity Fit Club" and "The Surreal Life."

Sporty Spice is Pregnant!

"Sporty Spice" is going to be a mommy.

Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm announced on her Web site Friday that she and her beau of six years, property developer Thomas Starr, are expecting their first child.

"Some happy news," she wrote. "I can now announce that Tom and I are expecting a baby and we are very happy."

She follows in the footsteps of her fellow Spice Girls Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton all of whom are mothers.

Rumors had swirled that Chisholm, 34, was pregnant after she wore a baggy dress during a show in Liverpool last week.

"As I'm sure you'll understand, we needed time to wait for results and tell our families," she explained.

In the meantime, she said she is nursing her other baby: her upcoming solo album.

"I will be taking it easy but am also excited to start writing for the fifth album," she said. "I'll need some time off to be a mum but, before you know it, we'll be back."

Coldplay plans new album by next year

The follow-up to Coldplay's Viva La Vida album could hit shelves as early as next year, according to a report.

Chris Martin and his bandmates already have a number of tracks lined up for the record following successful studio sessions with Brian Eno.

A source told The Sun: "The Viva La Vida sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded much more music than they could fit on one album.

"The majority of the follow-up is already in the can, though they will have to go back into the studio at some point to add a few more songs."

The newspaper also claimed that releasing the album would bring Coldplay a step closer to leaving the EMI label, which has already been hit hard by the departures of Paul McCartney and Radiohead.

However, an EMI spokesperson told DS: "Contrary to inaccurate reports in The Sun, Coldplay are signed to a long term record deal with EMI and are committed to produce a number of albums. The band's relationship with EMI is both long-term and positive."

OK! Cover: "How I got my body back!"

"I'm the healthiest I've been all my life," Britney says.- "My diet has a lot to do with my getting into shape," Britney says. "I have no sugar. I don't eat fruit or even fruit juice because of the sugar. I eat chicken and salmon and rice. I eat avocados. I'll have egg whites for breakfast and sometimes turkey burgers for lunch. I try to do just 1,200 calories a day. It may sound like it's not much, but it's actually a lot of food if you eat the right things."- "Frappuccinos - gone," she laughs. "I do still drink coffee, but just with Equal."- Her regular routine, she says, is "a lot of cardio and weights." She works out five days a week, taking the weekends off, often training at an outside gym and sometimes at the fully-equipped gym in her house.-"I was working with male trainers and recently switched to a woman because she knew how to lean me out better," Britney explains, saying that she didn't want to become too bulky from her training routines. She may change back to a male trainer later, once she gets to be as "cut" as she wants.The singer's comittment to being healthy is applauded by trainers like Miami-based trainer and owner of SOMA Fitness & Performance, Adam Cronin. Cronin, who has not worked with the pop star, says Britney's routine of following a 1,200-calorie-a-day, high-protein meal plan is ideal for someone who wants to drop pounds in a safe, healthy way."If you follow a vigorous workout program — plus this eating program — it is possible to lose up to 12 pounds in 30 days, in a very healthy, non fad-like way," Adam tells OK!.

Felicia: Britney is doing great!

Buzznet recently spoke with Felicia Culotta, Britney's previous personal assistant of 9 years, and had nothing but nice things to say. Culotta told Buzznet that she still keeps in touch with Britney, and that she's "doing great." Fe, who is working as the Jonas' personal assistant, says the tour has "20-something former Britney tour employees, including famed bodyguard Big Rob - who has become almost as popular with Jonas fans as the teens themselves."Fe told TMZ cameras in January that she'd love to work with Britney again, but is currently busy attending to Disney's latest cash cow.

AMY GOES TO REHAB NEAR BLAKE?

Amy is entering a drugs rehab close to Blake’s pision. The Back to Black singer has booked into a clinic in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, in a bid to battle her drug demons. The centre is just a short drive from Highpoint prison where Blake Fielder-Civil is serving 27 months for ABH and perverting the course of justice. The star’s father Mitch says, “This is a very good idea. If she can get clean and still see Blake it can only be good.”

Steve Carell & Tina Fey To Star In "Date Night"

Two of TV's biggest stars are hoping to find magic on the big screen. Variety reports that Steve Carell ("The Office") and Tina Fey ("30 Rock") will play a married couple looking to rekindle their relationship in 20th Century Fox's new comedy "Date Night."

To be fair, both Carell and Fey have very successful movie careers, but there is something intriguing about two of NBC's most recognizable comedy stars teaming up for the first time (in a movie for a competing studio, no less!). In fact, both actors have solidified their box office credentials in the past few months. Carell's "Get Smart" became his third $100 million grossing film and fifth consecutive hit (and bizarrely he gets no credit in the media for it). At the same time, Fey showed she can draw them into theaters with "Baby Mama," her first cinematic leading role and a pleasant $60 million surprise for Universal this April.

As for "Date Night," director Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum") told the trade that the movie will be a "relatable, grounded character comedy about marriage and the lengths we go to preserve the spark." Considering Carell's wizardry at improv and Fey's Emmy-winning writing skills, you have to figure Levy will have a lot of help in fashioning a believable and entertaining scenario. Production on "Date Night" should begin next spring, but shooting will be admittedly tricky with having to schedule during hiatuses of "The Office" and "30 Rock." But there seem to be no concerns at the moment about making it work.

After a busy few years, Carell used this "Office" break to take a real vacation. Fey, on the other hand, teamed up with Ricky Gervais, star and co-creator of the original, British "The Office," for the comedy "This Side of the Truth." Levy is currently in production on "Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian." Needless to say, their involvement in "Date Night" makes this one flick to watch out for.

Next column: The fourth annual Oscar in August rundown (yes, it's that time again!); a sneak peek at "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa"; and more.
