Chalk it up to more Rumors.

Lindsay Lohan has not had a great week. While she dodged burglary charges, there are reports coming out of her time on set of Liz & Dick, and they aren’t good.

CNN reports Elizabeth Taylor’s famous trailer, used on set of Cleopatra, was sold to Angel Alger for $50,000 in June, but as part of the sale agreement, Alger had to rent it out to Silver Screen Pictures to use in the Liz & Dick movie. Alger claims that when she saw it again in July, there was $100,000 worth of damage to it, including broken dishes and cigarette marks over everything.

Alger said she suspects Lindsay Lohan is responsible, “based on a studio employee’s comment to [Alger] that the actress and her friends had access to it each night after filming.” Alger has no other evidence to prove it.

When asked for comment, Lindsay’s rep tells EW, “Lindsay has the highest respect and admiration for Elizabeth Taylor. To suggest that she was responsible for this is preposterous.”

Jeah?

Ryan Lochte is probably getting his own reality show. EW previously reported that he was interested in either Dancing with the Stars or being the new Bachelor, but it seems Lochte had more individual stardom dreams. According to Celebuzz, Lochte said he is in talks with E! to get his own series. What on earth would it be about?

“Pretty much, they follow me on my normal day, just training, doing my own fashion line,” he said in a video interview with the site.

After watching his interviews with Matt Lauer, it’s hard to imagine him carrying an entire show, but I’m going to envision a couple scenarios on how Living Lochte could play out: READ FULL STORY »

President Obama participates in an AMA on reddit -- Talks jobs, beer and Michael Jordan

In history, today will be known as the the day geeks officially inherited the earth — or at least the presidential campaign.

President Obama surprised just about everyone today when he announced via his official Twitter that he would be participating in an AMA (ask me anything) for the website reddit. AMA is basically a live chat where anyone can submit a question and then other users vote your post up or down and then the participant answers the questions from the top vote-getters.

Obama participated in the chat — which he called “an example of how technology and the internet can empower the sorts of conversations that strengthen our democracy over the long run” — for about a half hour. He opened with, “this is barack. Just finished a great rally in Charlottesville, and am looking forward to your questions. At the top, I do want to say that our thoughts and prayers are with folks who are dealing with Hurricane Isaac in the Gulf, and to let them know that we are going to be coordinating with state and local officials to make sure that we give families everything they need to recover.”

Obama responded to the unofficial slogan of the Internet – pics or it didn’t happen – by uploading the photo above to prove his identity. You can check out the full convo over on reddit, and click below to read some of the buzziest responses. READ FULL STORY »

I’m not sure if this is what “the King” was referring to when he wrote ”Pieces of My Life,” but you can buy a pair of his stained underwear at an auction in England next month. Well, at least we finally know that he preferred briefs over boxers.

The dirty, dust blue drawers, which Presley wore underneath one of his famous white jumpsuits during a 1977 performance, are expected to fetch up to $15,800, according to the BBC.

The other items on the Elvis pop memorabilia auction block are more sanitary and sentimental: The music legend’s Bible, complete with handwritten notes, and 16mm home movie footage shot by Priscilla Presley. Omega Auctions will stream the auction live on Sept. 8.

Presley died 35 years ago this month, on Aug. 16, 1977.

Suffering through Olympics withdrawal?

Hollywood hears you — and from the looks of things, they’re trying to cash-in on some of the once-every-four-years magic.

EW has confirmed that the upcoming film Beached, directed by Jon Turteltaub, will center on a 4-year-old child who falls overboard, is raised by whales, and goes on to become a champion swimmer. (It also sounds somewhat similar to the Disney Channel movie The Thirteenth Year, which means I’m definitely going to buy a ticket.) READ FULL STORY »

On early Sunday morning, the world welcomed perhaps the most anticipated child of the year. I am talking, of course, about Lorenzo Dominic LaValle, son of Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and her fiancé Jionni LaValle.

The new mom gave birth just before 3 a.m. ET on August 26, but unlike the rest of us mortals, she didn’t let a little thing like pushing out a baby keep her from Twitter. To honor her hard work, we at PopWatch decided to compile a short list of her greatest tweets since becoming a mother.

3. “Being a mom is an amazing feeling!!! I love my little man to death! Jionni is such a cute dad.”

Whew, I don’t know about you PopWatchers, but I’m glad Jionni looks good holding that baby.

What should happen to Aurora's movie theater?

Aurora, Colorado’s Cinemark multiplex has been closed since July 20, when a masked man opened fire during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises. 12 people were killed; 58 more were injured. A month later, the town is doing its best to move forward — but officials there still aren’t sure what should be done with the building where a dozen moviegoers lost their lives.

That’s where Aurora’s residents come in. The AP writes that the town is now directing citizens to an online survey, where they can express what they think should happen to the theater. “It is our hope that the entire community will participate and benefit from the citywide healing process,”  the survey’s first and only question reads. “Many people have asked about the future of Aurora’s Century 16 theater. We want to know your thoughts. Please take a few minutes to tell us your thoughts. These comments will be shared with Cinemark for consideration in their decision making process.”

Although the survey’s responses aren’t visible, they presumably include a few variations on these main options:

Kirk Cameron defends Rep. Akin after 'legitimate rape' comments: 'I respect him...he's in a tough spot' -- VIDEO

Oh, Mike Seaver.

After GOP Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin’s controversial remarks on a local network yesterday — claiming that women were unlikely to get pregnant from rape because “if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down” — many national Republican leaders, including Gov. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, distanced themselves from Akin.

One defender? Kirk Cameron. The child-star-turned-evangelist was on CNN this morning discussing the remarks, and Cameron encouraged people to watch the whole video (which you can here) and then said, “[Akin] is clearly a pro-life advocate and I respect him. He said that he misspoke and that he misphrased something and that he apologized.” READ FULL STORY »

Lady Gaga is a swamp monster in new perfume ad: VIDEO

by
Tags: , , , , , ,

So normally, when celebrities release a fragrance, the ad is aspirational. Gaga went in the opposite direction for the commercial for Fame, her first perfume. Gaga herself tweeted the ad out this morning, “THE OFFICIAL TRAILER “FAME” THE FRAGRANCE DIRECTED BY: STEVEN KLEIN.”

This follows a previous trailer that did not feature Gaga, and a print ad that showcased men climbing all over the naked singer. If you needed to see more of the later, you’re in luck.  This commercial features tiny men crawling all over her once again (Are we suppose to assume this is the height of Fame?), as well as a futuristic fashion show and plenty of some kind of black goo that is clearly not the fragrance coming out of her mouth… it’s all coming alive like a monster!

I see what she did there.

'F-bomb' gets Merriam-Webster stamp of approval

Get ready to update your college papers and work emails — “F-bomb” is now Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary official.

The dictionary giant teased its list of new additions (usually about 100 a year) and “F-bomb” made the cut. Who can you thank? Kory Stamper, an associate editor for Merriam-Webster, said the company traced the word back to 1988, when New York Mets catcher Gary Carter mentioned in an interview that he had given them up. Recent political discourse had also brought the term mainstream, with Dick Cheney dropping an “F-bomb” on the Senate floor in 2004, and Vice President Joe Biden trotting it out in 2010. “It’s a word that is very visually evocative,” Stamper told The AP. “It’s not just the F-word. It’s F-bomb. You know that it’s going to cause a lot of consternation and possible damage.” READ FULL STORY »
