Lil' Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., was arrested in Yuma, Arizona last night!!
He was arrested for: possession of dangerous drugs, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia.
For those of you who don't remember, Lil' Wayne was arrested in Idaho last year for possession of drugs... Guess he didn't learn his lesson!!
It's been 15 years since the death of comic actor, John Candy, and it's with sad news that sources tell ZackTaylor.ca that his mother, Evangeline Candy is on life support in the intensive care unit of Toronto East General Hospital, where her son, Jim and sister, Fran are preparing to say their final goodbyes.
My heart and thoughts go out to the whole Candy family!!
Less than a month after checking herself into the Promises Treatment Center, Tara Reid left rehab yesterday!!
A source says,
"She checked out on Saturday. She's doing well. The whole family is very positive about this being the new beginning for her."
In a recent interview I did with one of her fellow American Pie co-stars, Thomas Nicholas, he commented that Tara is prob. just trying to stay in the public-eye,
"There's a saying that goes, "Any press is good press, as long as people are talking about you and they spell your name right" I can't imagine that Tara would want less press."
Whatever her reasons, I hope she "gets better" and we can see her acting once again!!
UPDATE: Tara's rep. says she is STILL in rehab!!
May all your dreams and goals come true this year - Wishing each and everyone of you all the best!!

Former basketball star, Charles Barkley was arrested in Arizona early this morning on suspicion of drunk driving!!
Gilbert police Lt. Eric Shuhandler says an officer with a task force that targets drunken drivers saw the former NBA star run a stop sign around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning in Scottsdale.
Shuhandler says Barkley declined to submit to a breath test but was given a blood test. The results have not come in.
Tonight is New Years - Don't be stupid!! Don't drink and drive tonight!!
One of the dudes from the Blue Man Group named Darren Stephens was arrested last night in Chicago for allegedly performing oral sex on another man on a park bench... I wonder if the guy got BLUE BALLS?!
According to the Chicago Sun Times, the "other man" is an assistant principal at a nearby high school... Nice!!
26-year-old porn actor, Christopher Jack Reid aka Jack Venice was given a life sentence earlier today for the rape of a Washington State University student which took place in September 2007.
Reid cruised college campuses in search of new women to co-star in his porn films but crossed the line with one girl, and will now have to stick to makin' videos in prison with Big Bubba - Hardcore or Softcore?!
Cisco Adler was arrested last night in Fargo, North Dakota, after punching a club employee in the nose!!
According to witnesses, after Adler's performance at The Hub, a brawl broke out, and while he was being escorted out, he punched a worker in the face - Adler was arrested for "simple assault" and was released later on a $500 cash bail.
CLICK HERE to check out my interview with him from a few months ago!!
O.J. Simpson has just been sentenced to 15 years in jail and is only eligible for parole in 5 for leading an armed hotel room confrontation over sports memorabilia last year.
Simpson's attorneys have said they plan to appeal the convictions, arguing that a fair trial was nearly impossible after the 1995 murder trial that left him a celebrity outcast.
An emotional O.J. spoke to the court today, claiming he didn't mean to steal anything, and that he just wanted to get his stuff back (boo-hoo!!), including a wedding ring that Nicole Brown-Simpson had given to their daughter.
All I have to say is: KARMA!!
It's about time - Hopefully this will help bring closure to Jennifer Hudson and her family!!
Chicago police announced yesterday that they have arrested William Balfour for the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and little nephew... Balfour, who was married to Jennifer's sister, has been in custody in Stateville Correctional Center on a violation of parole and was transferred to Chicago police custody yesterday after they served an arrest warrant.
What a sick person - I hope somebody kicks his pathetic ass!!
Former tennis star, Jimmy Connors was arrested and taken into custody last night, after he refused to leave an area near the entrance of the Santa Barbara Thunderdome following a confrontation... If you remember, Connors was well known for his temper tantrums on the court during his playing days...
No rep. for Connors could be reached for comment, however he was released later in the evening!!
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a very happy guy!!! When Barack Obama was announced President-elect Tuesday night he started crying; He couldn't have asked for a better 39th birthday gift!!
Diddy told reporters last night at his birthday celebration at Mansion Nightclub in New York,
"I was straight up crying... I was with my kids. It was a beautiful thing. I just thank God my prayers were answered... I don't know why God blessed me by having my birthday, but we're here to celebrate 80 percent of Obama being elected and 20 percent my birthday!!"
While Diddy was crying, I was singing to celebrate Obama's win!!
Democrat Barack Obama has won the presidential election (by a blow-out!!), which makes him the first African-American in the nation's highest office... John McCain said earlier tonight after losing, "The American people have spoken!!" Yes they have - And that is why I sang this little song below to celebrate...
Thank you America for voting for Obama - As he said earlier tonight during his acceptance speech, "Change has come to America!!"
It was the longest World Series game ever, but in the end the Philadelphia Phillies are champions!! The Phillies finished off the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in a three-inning sprint last night to win a suspended Game 5 nearly 50 hours after it started...

How cute right?! What I don't get is if you have been in jail for so long, surrounded by guys, why would you want to be greeted by one as soon as you get out?? Just kidding Brooke... You're not THAT manly!!
Reckless driver, Nick Hogan is being released from jail tomorrow... And obviously his biggest fan, his sister Brooke Hogan took to her blog today with some kind words... Before you read what Brooke just posted, check out this video of her and I on the red carpet a month ago, and fast forward to the 1:53 mark to hear some other "interesting" comments she had about Nick...
Now for what she posted today,
"Hey you guys…as you all know, my brothers gettin out tomorrow…I cant even tell you, as a sister, how exciting this is for me! Nick and I are like best friends…and i cant believe how long Ive gone without him…. Not seeing him for 6 months has been really really hard.

A good friend of actress Bonnie Somerville was shot in the back after leavin' the T-Mobile Party in Hollywood last night...

When she screamed, the man shot her in the lower back, and then took both purses and drove off...
The suspect, a black male who appeared to be in his teens, is still on the loose according to police... Somerville's friend is in stable condition at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood!!

Earlier tonight, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin duked it out on live television in the Vice-Presidential debate... The NPR said last week that the candidates should debate on our website... Sadly, both took to the TV instead...

Check out his sister, Brooke Hogan's message to him from the VMA red carpet a few weeks ago...
I wonder if Big Bubba treated Nick well in jail?? Hmmm...
So how exactly did DJ AM and Travis Barker survive their plane crash last weekend when 4 others inside died?? A policeman at the scene of the tragic accident has now come forward and said, "They told me that they slid down the wing on the right side of the plane and tackled each other and put each other out."
He went on to say that when he got to the site, Travis and AM were pacing and in shock... Since the crash, the pair have been undergoing procedures this week to treat their burns, but are expected to make a FULL recovery... I wish them all the best!!
Travis Barker and DJ AM were critically injured after their plane crashed during takeoff from South Carolina's Columbia Metropolitan Airport, just before midnight yesterday... The two are in critical condition and being treated for severe burns at an Augusta, Georgia burn center... 4 other people DIED in the crash!!
The 4 people who died are:
Pilot - Sarah Lemmon
Co-pilot - James Bland
Passenger - Chris Baker, Studio City, CA (Travis' assistant)
Passenger - Charles Still, of Riverside, CA (Travis' bodyguard)
Reports are saying that Travis Barker was burned from the waist down and DJ AM has burns to his face... Also, one of the passengers who died, Chris Baker was recently married and had a new baby - So sad!! My thoughts and prayers go out to all their families & friends!!
Comedian Margaret Cho is gonna start a war with what she just posted on her blog today...
"I am not voting for McCain. I hope that is obvious. I am sick of everyone saying – “He was a good soldier. He was a good soldier"... Um yeah. He was captured... So he was not that good... And now with Sarah Palin at his side, they have actually become the worst ticket imaginable. The only way it could be worse would be if Satan were running with Chuck Norris as his VP. Actually, Lucifer-Norris sounds better than McCain-Palin."
So, who are YOU voting for?? CLICK HERE to have your say on our HotOrNot.com poll!!
Madonna is now immortalized as a new Lego character!! The special character marks the 30th anniversary of Lego's mini-figure collection... They look so much a-like eh?!
There is some bad news though (which pisses me off cause I used to love playing with Legos)... The new mini-figure will not be released to the public!! Grrr....
Brad Pitt announced earlier today that he's donating $100,000 to fight California's Proposition 8, a November ballot initiative that would eliminate same-sex couples' right to marry!!
Brad said earlier today,
"Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8!!"
His donation marks the largest donation by an A-list celebrity towards an anti-gay campaign!!
Barack Obama's campaign is doing its best to distance itself from Lindsay Lohan after she endorsed the Democratic candidate on her blog while calling Sarah Palin a "media obsessed homophobe!!"
Lindsay wanted to be involved with the campaign by hosting events to attract young voters, but Obama's people have wisely decided that she's not the right person for that task... The Chicago Sun-Times reported earlier today,
A top source in the Barack Obama team tells me the actress ''is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us.'' Given Lohan's past problems, plus ongoing brushes with controversy, I've learned the campaign quietly told the actress ''thanks, but no thanks,'' but in far more diplomatic terms.
I couldn't agree more - Stick to promoting your girlfriend Lindz!!
UPDATE #1: A spokesman for the McCain campaign said, "So let me get this straight -- they turned away Lindsay Lohan, but Barack Obama has friends like unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and convicted felon Tony Rezko? Maybe LiLo is just too upstanding for Barack Obama."
UPDATE #2: Tommy Vietor, Obama's spokesperson, just made a statement saying, "Glad to see they're focused on the important issues over in McCain HQ!!"
Sir Paul McCartney has been threatened & warned that he will be the target of suicide bombers unless he abandons plans to play his first concert in Israel!!
Omar Bakri claimed the former Beatles decision to take part in the Jewish state's 60th anniversary celebrations had made him an enemy of all Muslims... In an interview with Israeli media yesterday Paul said,
"I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. I refused. I do what I think and I have many friends who support Israel."
This is totally sick and disgusting!!
On September 11th 2001 The United States of America was attacked... Thousands of people lost their lives in one of the world's most disastrous terrorist attacks!! Today marks the 7th anniversary...
CLICK HERE to see a schedule of events happening today across America... We will ALWAYS remember...
Barack Obama made history last night, and now John McCain (he turns 72 today) has made it too!! He has chosen Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice-presidential candidate on the Republican ticket for the White House... In January, we will either have our first African-American President or our first female Vice-President!!
This is clearly a move designed to lure Hillary Clinton's supporters (or McCain is just a horny old man)... Let's see if it works!! I find it funny though that he is picking her because he's been arguing all along that Obama has little experience, yet Sarah has only been in politics for 2 years!! Sarah was Miss Wasilla 1984 and she won second place in the Miss Alaska contest, but was voted Miss Congeniality!!
Hmmm... Obama or McCain - CLICK HERE to cast your vote on our HotOrNot.com poll!!
Tens of thousands of people, including celebrities like Oprah Winfrey & Farrah Fawcett, packed Denver's Invesco Field last night to watch Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama deliver possibly the biggest speech of his presidential campaign... In between the speeches, performers including Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Sheryl Crow and will.i.am performed songs and declared their support for Obama...
Obama, who is the first African-American to lead a major party ticket, accepted his party's nomination on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech!! Martin Luther King III was there last night showing his support...
So, I ask you: Will you be voting for him?? CLICK HERE to cast your vote on our HotOrNot.com poll!!
Just like his character on HBO's Californication, David Duchovny is addicted to sex!! The actor has entered a rehabilitation center for sex addiction according to a statement he released today through his lawyer, Stanton "Larry" Stein...
"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction... I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."
Duchovny has been married to actress Téa Leoni since 1997 and they have two children together - Get better soon Dave!!
Check out the great tribute video to Hillary Clinton that was aired during the Democratic National Convention last night...
Click here to watch her AMAZING speech that followed this!!
Barack Obama announced today that Joe Biden would be his vice-presidential candidate for the upcoming election... I looked into it, and found that Joe has a HOT daughter named Ashley with his current wife Jill Jacobs... Not only is she HOT, but she was arrested way back in 2002 for "throwing a bottle at an police officer and then telling him off"... A wild child eh?! That's SEXY!!
Now that daddy is in the spotlight, I can't wait to see more of Ashley!!
HOT or NOT?! So far on HotOrNot.com 15,179 people have voted Obama an 8.9/10 - 15,133 people have rated McCain a 5.2/10 - CLICK HERE to vote for yourself!!
I still like the Yes We Can music video by will.i.am more!!
As we reported a month ago, Christina Applegate was diagnosed with breast cancer!! Well, a month later she tells ABC News that she is 100% free of the disease!!
She said earlier today, "I'm clear. Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean!! They got everything out so I'm definitely not going to die from breast cancer."
Way to go Christina - Happy news to start off the week!!
At the conclusion of the first-ever non-televised Miss Teen USA Pageant (NBC didn't renew the contract due to years of slumping viewers), Stevi Lauren Perry of Arkansas won the crown/title of Miss Teen USA 2008!!
Too bad they didn't televise it - I love the swimsuit competition!!
Many of you have probably seen the original Baracky, for which someone with video-editing software and a lot of time on their hands recast Rocky with Barack Obama as the title character, and Hillary Clinton as Apollo Creed...
Now they've returned with Baracky II which stars John McCain!! This one is much better than the first in my opinion...
Hilarious!! CLICK HERE to vote on which candidate you find HOT or NOT!!
