The “Jersey Shore” Kids Are In On The Joke

The REAL Situation (Feat. MTV Jersey Shore's The Situation, Snooki, and Pauly D) - watch more funny videos

Those wacky “Jersey Shore” kids just can’t stop winning us over. Snooki, The Situation and Pauly D “vibed” with the Funny Or Die crew and popped out this adorable video in which MTV’s latest gang of reality darlings simultaneously show off their acting chops and their ability to laugh at themselves. We’d totally be swooning right now if we hadn’t burned our entire body in the tanning bed this afternoon. We figure there’s a 1 in a million chance we may run into Pauly D somewhere along the Northeast corridor over the holidays and we wanted our skin to be poppin’ when we cross paths. Did we just confess our love for a Rhode Island-based DJ with a Jersey accent and a Cadillac tattoo? Yes. Yes we did. Now please pass the hair gel.

Brittany Murphy’s Bedroom Packed With Prescription Drugs

Brittany-Murphy

According to police documents, Brittany Murphy‘s mother and husband, Simon Monjack, desperately tried to revive the star by putting her in the shower after she collapsed at her home on Sunday and went into cardiac arrest. In addition, the actress “had been complaining of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pain”for over a week leading up to her passing. When the paramedics finally got to her home, reports TMZ, she was “without signs of life.” Ugh. You can’t read this stuff without getting a serious case of the sads.

TMZ also says that stacks of prescription pill bottles were found on Brittany’s bedside table, in her name, as well as her mother’s and hubby’s names. Here’s the list so far (we got high just reading it): “Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.”

FABlife’s DVD Pick Of The Week

VH1 TV Shows | Music Videos | Celebrity Photos | News & Gossip

District 9

Who would have thought the year’s coolest sci-fi film would come from South Africa? (Sorry, Avatar!) There’s plenty of contemporary relevance in this entertaining riff on the aliens among us. Instead of being welcomed, space visitors known as “prawns” are herded into titular ghettos. When the bureaucrat responsible for their evacuation begins to mutate, he must hide among the unwanted E.T.s to avoid the attention of gunrunners. Social tract and breathless adventure, D9 beats Hollywood at its own game.

Extras: Deleted scenes, filmmaker’s video diaries, commentary track from director Neill Blomkamp. A second disc includes four in-depth production docs.

Homeless Man Turns Down Carla Bruni

SPL114227_006

A Paris homeless man has reportedly rejected French first lady Carla Bruni‘s attempt to get him off the streets. Denis, 53, says Carla has befriended him and has been taking quite good care of him, even buying him a “military-type duvet.”

“She asks after me, she gives me one or two fifty or 100 euro notes,” he says. When Carla offered to put him up in a local hotel, however, Denis refused. “It’s not that I enjoy being in the street but I’ve got my habits,” he says. “People say it’s cold. That’s true, but I’m well covered up.”

Carla mentioned Denis in an interview for Macadam, a magazine sold by the homeless. Then he was interviewed by Closer magazine. Do we smell a reality show next? Even if offered, Denis would probably refuse, as he seems content with his street life – with a little help from the former model of course. [Source: BBC;Photo: Splash News Online]

Britney Presents “The Year In BS”

Britney Spears

We would consider 2009 a pretty good year for Britney Spears – no head-shaving or relationship disasters to speak of, and her “Circus” tour went off without a hitch, except for that time her lady bits were hanging out. (Although we’ve seen those before so no big whoop.) Still, despite having a good year, Brit’s website reports that over 13,000 stories were written about her this year and as a result, she and her people compiled a list of the top 75 most ridiculous. Not a Top 10, mind you, but a TOP SEVENTY FIVE. That’s a lot of rumors.

The “TOP 75 BULLS#!T Britney Spears Stories” that appear on her site were either “factually inaccurate, because they reported the patently absurd, or because we believe they are simply offensive to the sensibilities.” The rumors address her lip-synching, numerous rumored boyfriends, and our favorite, “Britney to become Baptist minister.” We love that she (okay, a team of assistants) took the time to compile these and address them, although we wish they went into some detail explaining them. Alas it’s just a list made up of screen grabs. Still, it’s pretty amazing that they went to the trouble of picking seventy five for our reading enjoyment. Thanks, Team B! [Photo: GettyImages]

SPL138803_004

It looks like LeAnn Rimes is waving goodbye to her seven year marriage! The singer’s split from husband Dean Sheremet is now official, after he filed for a divorce last week. Their marital status will terminate on June 19, 2010; other details of the split remain under wraps.

“The settlement shall not be filed in this proceeding due to the parties mutual desire to maintain theie respective rights to privacy,” their divorce document states. It is noted, however, that Dean did request spousal support. Smart guy! Now LeAnn is free to run around with boyfriend Eddie Cibrian – oh wait – she’s been doing that already!

Undone Celebs That Still Look Fab

celebs

Most celebs do not look like a million bucks when they’re caught candidly by the paparazzi — especially in harsh winter weather. But we’ve noticed some defying the odds in the last couple of days, from Rihanna looking like a runway model while disembarking a plane to Cate Blanchett looking fabulously au naturale despite lugging her kids through the snow. We have no idea how they do it, but we’re taking our Winter Beauty Tips from Dove.

Tom Cruise Sued For Spying

tom-cruise

Tom Cruise – a spy? No, it’s not the plot of Mission Impossible #1997301 - Suri‘s dad is being sued by magazine editor Michael Davis Sapir, who claims Tom hired a private investigator to illegally wiretap his phone. Michael is accusing Tom, attorney Bert Fields, and jailed private investigator Anthony Pellicano of conspiring to spy on him.

This is not the first time Tom and Michael have been at odds. In 2001, Tom sued Michael for $100 million after Michael claimed to have a video of the A-List actor engaging in homosexual activities. That lawsuit was settled later that year. Now Michael is suing for $5 million, and Tom’s team is vehemently denying his claims. “The allegations are absolute garbage. We did not even hire Pellicano to work on the Sapir case,” Bert says.

Besides, who needs a P.I. when you have Suri Cruise? She is always sneaking into things, and although she smiles through her cupcake frosting, that little Scientolotot is probably really the one behind this whole operation. When her parents weren’t looking, Suri snuck out to the spy shop and picked up a couple wireless spy cameras and listening devices and set up a little private investigation office in the basement. Tom and Katie have no idea – they haven’t been down there in years. [Source: TMZ, Photo: Getty Images]

Katy Perry Doesn’t Do Sparkly Vamps

Katy-Perry

Last week, Radar Online reported that Katy Perry was proving her support of Team Edward by getting flirty with Robert Pattinson at an L.A. karaoke bar. The footage that Radar posted seems fairly non-incriminating and shows Pattinson smoking inside the bar (you can do that in L.A.?) and then a group of people walking to Katy’s car and getting in. Nothing hot and heavy, and not something Russell Brand or Kristen Stewart should be getting upset about, we think.

Katy, who has spent the past few days in London with Brand (pictured above), spoke out about the rumor, tweeting, “Read a bunch of yesterdays-news-BULLOCKS. Ppl should know by now that I don’t do vampires, but I do, DO @rustyrockets. Don’t get it TWISTED!” Noted. But unfortunately now we have that image in our head. We’d rather not imagine @rustyrockets during sexy time, thanks. [Photo: FilmMagic]

9 Celebrity Losers To Leave Behind In ’09

9_douchebags

In 2009, a lot of ordinary people became famous for next-to-nothing, previously A-list stars fell from grace, and quasi-celebs made outlandish statements for publicity. From the Balloon Boy stunt to Glenn Beck‘s fear-mongering to Tiger Woods‘ mistresses coming out of the woodwork; some people really tested our patience and wore us thin. Here are the top nine “celebrity” losers we hope go into hiding for 2010.

9. Balloon Boy’s Dad: Think little Falcon Henne had any idea about his fame-guzzlin’ father’s publicity plot while he was chillin’ in a box in their attic? We doubt it, and the little guy’s televised bodily functions pretty well summed up how we felt about the whole stunt after we wasted hours of our lives watching an empty weather balloon float above Colorado.

8. Carrie Prejean: The dethroned Miss USA contestant first ignited a media firestorm with her statement against marriage equality during the Miss USA pageant. Her controversial proclamation was just the tip of the iceberg, as a flurry of nude photos and sex tapes followed over the next several months, as well as an exceptionally awkward appearance on “Larry King Live.”

Seven more losers after the jump.
