Ke$ha’s Hollywood takeover
Ke$ha has made her mark on Hollywood – sort of.
The TiK ToK star posted a viral video on her YouTube page, showing herself and a posse of friends hijacking the infamous Hollywood sign and transforming it to read Ke$hawood.
Armed with gold spray paint, white tarps and an array of fancy dress disguises, the 22-year-old ignores a guards warnings and hops the fence to vandalise the sign.
Shortly after the prank, she twittered: “HwOOD $IgN I$ oFFiciaLLY My bIZnatCH!!!!! Good work2allmyHoTCULpritss!! LOOK AT THE SIGN LA!”
But before you reel in condemnation, the video is nothing more than a hoax, simply ascertaining the starlet has her sights set on dominating the pop world.
According to a spokesperson for the Hollywood Sign Trust, the area is heavily monitored 24 hours a day, which would make it close to impossible for the ladies to get within arm’s reach of the landmark: “First of all, when they run off — that’s a 40 foot drop there. There’s no way they could be running off in heels. it’s very dangerous up there. Secondly, the sign is made of corrugated steel. It has ridges. And you can see what they pretend to be the sign is a completely flat surface.”
If there is anything to be shocked at, it’s her atrocious use of spelling, grammar and all round sentence structure that is truly appalling.

Dannii Minogue is going to be a mummy
Dannii Minogue is expecting her first baby with boyfriend and former rugby league player, Kris Smith, 31.
The X Factor judge, who is due in July, made the announcement via her Twitter page: “Woo hoo I’m going to be a mummy!”
A spokesperson for the star confirmed the news: “Dannii and Kris are very excited and can’t wait to start their family in 2010.”
Dannii’s pop star sister, Kylie, expressed her excitement on Twitter, saying: “OMG OMG OMG Perfect!!!! So happy!!! A new Minogue!”
Rumours about the pregnancy began last week when the couple, who met in 2008 during a holiday in Ibiza, were spotted emerging from a hospital in Melbourne. However, Minogue, 38, did not confirm the news as she was yet to have a 12-week scan.
The news adds to speculation that Dannii may not return as an X Factor judge this year, amid reports Simon Cowell is keen to have weekly guest judges when the show returns in August.
That’s going to be one good-looking baba. Congrats!
Lindsay Lohan promises more ‘mayhem’ for 2010
Ah, the arrival of a new year.
For many it signals a fresh start, a different perspective, a resolute commitment to reformation… for Lindsay Lohan, it means more of the same.
The 23-year-old actress, who rang in 2010 on the island of St. Barts, took time out of her sunbathing sessions to utilise Twitter – posting bikini-clad photos and tweeting: “Wishing everyone a blessed new year in 2010! Everyone get ready for more (but positive-LOHAN MAYHEM!!!!!!!!) Thanks for all of your support!”
“My new years resolution is to stop letting the lucky few that have my heart, try2constantly tear me down.”
Is there such thing as positive bedlam? We suggest LiLo picks up a dictionary and looks up the definition for ‘mayhem’.
Russell Brand blasts Daily Mail over Katy Perry marriage “lies”
Could wedding bells be ringing soon for Russell Brand and Katy Perry? I wouldn’t hold your breath.
The comedian called-out the Daily Mail on its “lies” for publishing an article which he supposedly reveals he is finally ready to settle down and start a family with his pop-star girlfriend, claiming he said: “I’d love to marry Katy – hopefully it’s heading that way and I’m really happy. I do want to have children.”
However, the 34-year-old, who has been courting the ‘Waking Up In Vegas‘ singer since September, has blasted the quote as false via his Twitter account: “The Daily Mail tell lies. ‘Nathan Kay’ is a pustule of untruth. I suppose we ought be grateful they’ve stopped supporting Hitler”
Err…well, I guess that clears that up then.
Rapper Chipmunk contemplates suicide
British rapper Chipmunk has made a very public cry for help via Twitter.
The 18-year-old, who topped the singles chart last month with Oopsie Daisy, posted a series of disturbing messages on the social media website claiming he wanted to end his life.
Tweeting from his account – @ChipmunkArtist, he wrote: “I wanna die,“ he later asked, “Is suicide easy?”
The young star has since cancelled all upcoming promotional apperances “too get some much needed time off.” His spokesman added: “He has been working incredibly hard, which has taken its toll.”
Chipmunk, real name Jamal Noel Fyffe is thought to be taking time out at his family home in North London. The latest post from his account says: “This has been the most difficult time for me…But I will get through it! Believe none of what you hear…And half of what you see!”
Get well soon.
Kirstie Alley blasts Roman Polanski Hollywood supporters
Who ever thought Kirstie Alley would be the voice of reason?
The actress has slammed the deluge of Hollywood stars that are supporting acclaimed film director, Roman Polanski, following his recent arrest on the 1976 charges for drugging and having unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Polanski, 76, who is currently being held in Switzerland and facing extradition to America, has garnered the backing of the Hollywood elite, including Martin Scorcese, Woody Allen, Harvey Weinstein and Whoopi ‘rape-rape’ Goldberg.
Alley condemned both the ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ director and her Hollywood counterparts in a series of impassioned rants via her Twitter account:
“JUST FOR THE RECORD….RAPE IS RAPE…this is one HOLLYWOOD STAR who does not CELEBRATE or DEFEND Roman Polanski..his ART did not RAPE her.”
“THERE is NO SUCH THING AS CONSENSUAL SEX with a 13-year-old girl..it is RAPE and Polanski is a Coward. HE made 2 bad choices RAPE and FLEE.”
“Now HERE is a MOVIE.a Director who is still revered and defended after RAPING a 13-year-old girl.who still is awarded Movies highest honors.”
“And what makes ANYONE think this was his ONLY offense? pedophiles [sic] NEVER strike once..may ONLY be CAUGHT once..guarantee not 1st offense.”
“You can always tell when you have pedophiles on line..they covertly defend the perpetrators..YOU are not unseen and you are NOT forgiven.”
“We are NOT in the barter business of trading BRILLIANT movies in exchange for heinous crimes against children..NOT the point. NOT HOLLYWOOD.”
CO-SIGN! I think Kirstie is my hero. It’s about time someone in Hollywood stood up for what is right.
Drugging, raping and sodomising a child is apparently acceptable in LaLa Land where allowances are made for ‘genius’. I am disturbed by those defending this pedophile, I wonder if they would feel differently if it was an average 45-year-old man raping their 13-year-old daughter?
Keisha Buchanan kicked out of the Sugababes
It has been revealed that Keisha Buchanan, Sugababes only remaining original member, has been sacked from the group, putting to bed rumours that Amelle Berrabah had quit the band.
An official statement released on the band’s website announced the new formation: “The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded.
“Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah will continue as the Sugababes and will be joined by new member Jade Ewen.”
It added that 24-year-old Buchanan would continue to record for Island Records as a solo artist.
The singer, who is said to be devastated by the axe, conveyed her feelings via Twitter, she said: “Although it was not my choice to leave, it’s time to enter a new chapter in my life. I’ve had a great time and have achieved more than I ever thought I would.”
Addressing whispers of her rift with band-mate Berrabah, she continued: “Sometimes a breakdown in communication and lack of trust can result in many different things. There were no arguments, bullying or anything of that sort that would lead to this.”
Phew, with the ever-changing line-up, Sugababes are certainly giving Destiny’s Child a run for their money.
Check out the pic of the new line up below…
Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt back together
Their back on, and more importantly does anyone care?
Paris Hilton has rekindled the flame with ex-beau Doug Reinhardt less than two months after splitting up according to Usmagazine.com.
The media-loving couple called time on their four-month relationship back in June, with the heiress quickly setting her sights on footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
On Monday, 23-year-old, Reinhartd posted on Twitter: “What an amazing weekend with my beautiful girlfriend. I love her so much!”
How is Paris Hilton still relevant? No seriously.
Drake injured during concert stage fall
Canadian rapper Drake took a nasty fall on stage, further damaging his already-injured knee during a set for Lil Wayne’s ‘Americas Most Wanted’ Tour in Camden, New Jersey on Friday.
The rising hip-hop artist, who reportedly tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) while playing basketball last month, ignored doctors warning to rest-up his leg and sit the tour out to prevent such an incident.
Prior to the fall, Heartbreak Drake spoke to MTV about his decision to perform, he said: “I didn’t really get any approval from my doctor, but I made a personal decision 48 hours ago that I’d be letting a lot of people down if I didn’t show up and at least show them I’m there for them.
“For the last two weeks, I’ve been really going hard, getting all types of acupuncture, trying to bring the swelling down. I’m walking around — no cane. I’ll put a brace on it tomorrow night. No one will probably even know I’m injured…I’m not doing my own set. That’s one thing I have to apologize to my fans about. It’s too much of a risk, if I hit that wrong turn [doing] 30 minutes every night. If I tear my ACL again, the doctors say I might not be able to walk again. I have to be cautious.”
Video footage of the fall sees Drizzy ramping up the crowd with Lil Wayne in the run up to perform his hit song ‘Best I Ever Had’ before he takes a tumble. Stagehands run to his aid before escorting him off the stage and leaving an awkward Weezy to finish up the set.
Shortly after his slip, the 22-year-old tweeted: “All is well. On the bus laying down…Getting surgery this week but I’m walking. Thank you my whole YM [Young Money] family for the help. Lion Hearts!”
Good to hear Drizzy Drake is recovering well. For those of you who may remember him from his ‘Degrassi’ days playing a young, wheel-chair bound Jimmy, all I have to say is…oh the irony.
Check out the video of the fall below…
Kanye West and Amber Rose Split-up
After weeks of speculation, Kanye West has confirmed he has split from girlfriend Amber Rose
His rep substantiated: “They are no longer a couple.”
Whispers of a break-up first surfaced in May following stories of the ex-stripper allegedly cheating on the ‘Love Lockdown’ singer with rapper Cassidy.
Rose hit back at the rumours via her Twitter account: “I do NOT know Cassity personally I met him for the first and only time at a charity softball game. THAT’S IT!”
West, who celebrated his 33rd birthday on Monday, has since been linked to ‘Umbrella’ star Rihanna.
Err…I think the fact that Ms Rose is unsure about the spelling of her undercover lover might mean she’s telling the truth…that or she never won the Spelling Bee…
