make up your mind, amanda!

sooo, this is annoying. miss amanda bynes has pulled quite the publicity stunt! about a month ago, bynes took to her twitter to announce her “retirement” from acting. yes, at age 24.

“if i don’t love something anymore i stop doing it… i don’t love acting anymore so i’ve stopped doing it… i know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first i’ve #retired… thank you everyone for understanding!!!! i’m so happy you like watching my old shows and movies!!! i love you all!!!! :)

and just one short month later, she has a change of heart! “i’ve unretired,” she announces, again from her twitter. make up your mind lady! i’m sure no one particularly cares either way, but it’s a pretty shameless way to gain publicity.

bynes then took the liberty of posting the trailer link to her latest flick, easy a. the movie tells the tale of a good girl who moves up in her school’s ranks after using the rumor mill to her advantage. amanda, emma stone & lisa kudrow star in easy a, scheduled for release on september 17.

dear ke$ha, go away soon!

i’m pretty much over “ke$ha.” who’s with me??

she’s been all over lately, her attitude of entitlement causing more attention than her singing. she’s spendin’ more time apologizing than singing! not a good career move. and after her horrific “live” performance on american idol, i’m hoping her 15 minutes will be up soon. she’s ragged on everyone from britney spears to justin bieber… just shut it, ke$ha!

in an interview with maxim, ke$ha said of tweenie hero j.bieber “he’s a tiny little baby! i would love to just push him around on stage in a carriage.” yeah, i’m sure he loved hearing that! she took to her twitter for a grammatically brilliant apology: “dear justin b i am so sorry if my bad joke has hurt your feelings.u r obviouslyso talented andi would never mean to offend u.i think u r rad”

wow, that kinda hurt my eyes just reading that.

but she wasn’t done there! she then was up in headlines for criticizing ms. britney spears! a lyric in one of her older songs was revealed that said: “britney spears… britney, who?” check out her clarification for that below. is it just me or was she lookin’ a wee bit out of it? bizarre!

shining moment

mayermugshotjohnny boy mayer. the self-assured musician never ceases to amuse. it’s almost as if his strange antics are starting to overshadow his music! nevertheless, he likes to keep things interesting. this past thursday, mayer took to his twitter to propose a a bet. addressing gossip site tmz, he tweeted “challenge: if harvey levin at tmz can produce my mug shot, i will donate 25k to the charity of his choice.”

tmz searched and searched to no avail. moments later thesmokinggun.com beat them to the punch, posting a mugshot of mayer from a 2001 arrest. apparently the singer was driving with a suspended license in atlanta. while the case was dismissed a month later, it still gave us this lovely picture memory.

regardless of who posted it first, tmz urged mayer to make good on his end of the deal. and make good he did! tmz told mayer to split the $25,000 between two charities, the pet orphans of socal and ace of hearts. he produced pictures of the two checks, and sent the moolah on over. see? even douchey guys like john mayer can do nice things every once in awhile!

lindsanity

lindsay_lohan-1-just_my_luck

you get knocked down, you get right back up! lindsay lohan’s recent on-screen escapades have been less than honorable. did you catch her straight-to-TV movie ‘labor pains‘? yeah, no one else did either.

but another chance has somehow slid across her plate, and she is in no position to turn it down. back in july, director robert rodriguez revealed some details to mtv.com about his latest project – an action flick titled ‘machete.’ “i can’t say too much about it. except that we start shooting in a couple weeks. these things come together very quickly. we’re casting right now, and the script just came out great… there are a lot of people we’re sending it to, big names — but nobody that we’ve signed yet.”

he then added, “lindsay lohan’s cool. there’s actually a cool part in the movie for her — if she takes it.” well, thanks to the world of twitter, we won’t have to wait to find out if ms. lohan joins the rodriguez parade. the lady confirmed via her twitter that she is on board, “something was made official today!!!!!!!!!! http://bit.ly/3CdGfc” (which is the link to ‘machete’s imdb webpage). so there ya have it!

lohan will be working alongside seasoned vertaern robert deniro… so she better keep herself in line lest she get booted for bad behavior. also said to be in the flick is funnyman jonah hill. ‘machete’ follows a highly skilled assassin who is hired to kill a senator when the table are turned.

behold, the twitter king

ashton_kutcher1hey friends, did you know that ashton kutcher is the king of twitter? well, give him a chance and he’ll tell you all about it! the actor (does he still act?) has been runnin’ his mouth off all around town claiming to be all-important in the world of twitter.

he told the audience at a panel for fortune magazine’s brainstorm tech con, “i started twitter as a communication device to stay in touch with fans.” did ya, now? well, i will give him this – he is twitter’s most followed user. boasting over 3 million followers, it appears ashton spends more time on the micro-blogging site than making movies these days. “i shut down a website everyday because i send too much traffic there from my twitter feed.” 

he’s drunk with power, people! especially after he won the contest waged against cnn to gain the most followers. when asked by the interviewer at the tech convention about the battle, ashton says he’s “shocked that an individual could have as much influence in [social media] than a media conglomerate.”

it doesn’t look like the twitter king will let up anytime soon. he says it’s just too much fun! the bad news is, as long as twitter keeps growing, ashton’s follower count will as well. and that just means more fun claims to fame from @aplusk!

twitter TMI

twitterlogo1

it’s here. and it ain’t going anywhere. the phenom that is ‘twitter’ has hit our nation, and it seems more and more people jump on the bandwagon each day. including celebrities. users up to the millions have begun following these celebs, excited to get a personal peek into their day-to-day. but if you ask me, we’ve experienced quite a bit of tmi if ya know what i mean.

diddy (@iamdiddy) took to his twitter to announce the following update: “Having tantric sex!!!! I feel so much better.!!! Thank you.” no diddy, thank you.

and here we have travis barker (@trvsbrkr), airing some dirty laundry to not just the neighbors, but all of his 176,000 followers. apparently he’s been having some babymomma drama with ex-wife shanna moakler, as per his twitter: “Kids are not to be used as weapons. Deadbeat moms that sleep all day,seeking money, attention like 2 do so. Just hurts the kids in the end.”

wow, harsh. here are some other fun ones. benji madden (@benjaminmadden): “just took a pee.” kelly osbourne (@misskellyo): “Note to self never eat never eat beats they make you fart!!!!!!!!!!! Why wont it stop I’m so embarrassed!!!”
