| Who You Gonna Call: "Ghost Hunters" at Mark Twain House |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|06:23 pm] |
Ooooooh, that hint of cigar smoke, that faint grumbling down the hall, the knocking of the billiard balls upstairs. Is that the ghost of Mark Twain I see?
Yeah. Sure. Along with Huck Finn in the attic.
"Ghost Hunters," the Syfy channel's most popular show, will broadcast its visit to the Mark Twain House on Framington Avenue in Hartford Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 9 p.m.
The team conducted a paranormal investigation at the House in September. The show will reveal the results. Gee, I wonder what they found.
The Twain House is partnering with the Connecticut Science Center for the event. On Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m. there will be a lecture program in the Center's theater: "The Science of the Supernatural." The event, before the screening of the TV program, is hosted by Smoking Gun Research Agency.
Sounds like something Twain would satirize. Or invest in.

| Have We Finally Tired of Celebrity Trainwrecks? |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|05:29 pm] |
Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears no longer command headlines. Some have left the party lifestyle but recession-hit Americans have their own problems to face – and now disapprove of the celebrity antics they loved.
( Is the cycle over? Or are new starlets set to replace the trio? )
It is a phenomenon that once seemed unimaginable but Paris Hilton, socialite heiress and symbol of a tarnished age of cheap fame, no longer hits the headlines.
Hilton, whose waif-like blonde form first came to global attention via a sordid sex tape and then morphed into a vast commercial empire, is now a much rarer fixture on the gossip circuit. She is even living with a steady boyfriend in Los Angeles. Her one-time partner in hard-partying crime, Nicole Richie, is now a mother with two children.
Nor is Hilton alone in fading from view. Two years ago, singer Britney Spears was engaged in a public meltdown, tailed by a pack of paparazzi that had many speculating she would not survive the attention. At the same time, actress Lindsay Lohan was famed for her partying, not her screen talents.
American film and television seemed to be engaged in an orgy of bad behaviour that spurred a flood of media hand-wringing over the state of America's most powerful cultural export: its celebrities. But now Spears is back on tour and apparently healthy. Lohan is going sober.
The most popular and acclaimed new celebrities in America are figures such as country star Taylor Swift, a quiet-living 19-year-old. The most talked about hit movie in America, the latest in the Twilight series – New Moon – makes a sub-text virtue of its characters not having sex. Even the market price for paparazzi shots of celebrities has slumped by a third.
Snarky gossip website Gawker summed up the surprise situation best when a headline on a recent post lamented: "You'll miss Paris Hilton now that she's gone." That is going way too far for most people. But in a world wearied by scandals of the rich and famous, it is the shocking move no one saw coming: America's celebrities are behaving just fine.
Perhaps no one exemplifies the change better than Spears. In 2007, the pop princess's career was hurtling towards a crash of epic proportions. She was a constant feature of the party circuit in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York. She was famed for being photographed wearing no underwear. As her career stalled, she was trailed by a huge pack of paparazzi even as she seemed to be going into meltdown. She even publicly shaved her head and then started dating one of the photographers tailing her. Eventually she was carried away from her home strapped to a stretcher and admitted to hospital.
That was then. Spears is now healthy and on a concert tour, albeit subject to a tight regime. Only two years ago many pundits were forecasting her early death. Now Spears is back on top.
But others, too, seem to have put their bad behaviour behind them. Hilton – once a fixture on the reality TV circuit – is now slipping off-screen. She is in a stable relationship, and her most recent bout of publicity resulted from releasing a new shampoo line. Lohan, too, has adopted a more sedate profile. She faced jail time in 2007, but has since reportedly started therapy and stopped drinking. Now most headlines that Lohan generates come from her own tweeting on Twitter, rather than partying until the wee hours.
Cultural experts believe that the trend could be linked to the global economic crisis that has gripped the world for more than a year. With millions of Americans unemployed and losing their homes, celebrity shenanigans have given way to more weighty and meaningful concerns.
"The economy has sucked all the oxygen out of the room when it comes to other things. The 'flippant factor' of that sort of behaviour by celebrities has made it appear much more unacceptable," said Dann Pierce, professor of popular culture at the University of Portland.
Blatant excess is no longer acceptable: although many finance houses and investment banks are again awarding huge bonuses to staff, this is in the face of public discontent that would have been unthinkable two years ago. Goldman Sachs, a focal point for such disquiet, has decided not to hold a Christmas party this year and has banned staff from funding their own celebrations.
Now it seems that public disapproval over the behaviour of the wealthy has spilled over into the world of the famous.
Celebrity interviewer Gayl Murphy also believes that ordinary Americans no longer derive Schadenfreude from the antics of stars owing to the very real problems in their own lives. "People used to like seeing celebrities melt down because it made them feel that their own more stable – but ordinary – lives were better. But now people are losing their homes and their jobs. They have their own meltdowns to deal with," Murphy said.
Indeed the most high-profile celebrity scandals of the past year have not involved A-list stars or household names. The sort of media attention in America once lavished on Spears, Lohan and Hilton has instead focused on "Octomom" Nadya Suleman and Jon and Kate Gosselin, a soon-to-be divorced couple who had a reality TV show. Though such people are hardly ordinary in the usual sense of the word, they are not actresses or rich or singers.
A similar cultural backlash was widely expected after 9/11. At that time, the concept of the "death of irony" and an end to frivolity was much discussed in the wake of the tragedy and the emergence of a seemingly scary new world of threat to the American heartland. "We have seen this sort of thing before in pop culture's response to very serious world events," said Pierce.
But it is not just a case of celebrities suddenly deciding to act more soberly. It is also because, as media organisations see a growing disquiet over reports of hard-partying stars, they run fewer stories about them.
Hilton, who appears to be living so quietly, has in fact been annoying her neighbours with loud partying. The police have received numerous complaints and the local council has been dragged into the affair. However, although a handful of gossip websites carried the story, no serious outlets have bothered with it. "At the moment, Britney could walk down the street naked with a chimpanzee and we would not hear that much about it," said Murphy.
Indeed the paparazzi economy – sometimes referred to as the celebrity-industrial complex – has taken a huge battering. A survey by the Daily Beast website revealed that celeb paparazzi photos were now selling for 31% less than in 2007. "The celebrity media bubble has burst," said Beast writer Nicole LaPorte. That has been coupled with the signing in California last month of an anti-paparazzi law that will punish photographers who invade a star's privacy. The law was aimed in part at reducing the chaotic scenes seen around Los Angeles as photographers chase stars in their cars.
Its passing certainly reflected a popular backlash against those trappings of the Hollywood lifestyle that were starting to affect ordinary people's everyday lives in the city.
But trends come in cycles. The wave of seriousness in America after 9/11 eventually disappeared, and gave way to an era of wild partying by young stars, culminating in Britney shaving her head and other celebrities facing going to jail.
Now a new frugality appears to have come into play. Yet this, too, will pass and – as Spears, Hilton or Richie look on, older and possibly wiser – a new generation of hard-partying young stars will emerge.
"Give it a year and a half and, if the economy is no longer staring into the abyss, we will see a return to frivolity and a return to an interest in it," said Pierce. If the good times roll again, so will the celebrities.

| David Hasselhoff Under Psych Hold in Hospital |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|05:28 pm] |
David Hasselhoff is under an involuntary psychiatric hold in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Hasselhoff was taken by ambulance to the hospital on Friday, as RadarOnline.com reported exclusively.
We have now confirmed that The Hoff had once again been drinking a large amount of alcohol before his hospitalization.
He was picked up under the California Welfare and Institutions Code 5150 that allows authorities to take into custody persons they believe may be a danger to themselves or others, are gravely disabled or suffer from a mental disorder. Cedars-Sinai doctors agreed he needed to be admitted, and under Code 5151, hold him for up to 72 hours for a psychiatric evaluation.
Hasselhoff has been battling alcoholism for years and has been hospitalized at least five times with alcohol poisoning.
He returned from Canada on Wednesday and saw a doctor. He had been drinking before that and also resumed drinking afterward. His several-day booze bender resulted in a seizure and transport to the hospital via ambulance Friday.
Now people close to him want to place him in a lock-down rehab facility to treat his alcoholism, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Hasselhoff and his pr and legal team have consistently covered for him, denying reports that he was previously hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. But this time things are so severe that for a while he was disoriented and didn't recognize people he knew.

| Porn Star Rapist Has a Prisoner Pen-Pal Ad |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|04:12 pm] |
Remember porn star Christopher Reid/"Jack Venice"? He was found guilty of first degree rape and second degree burglary after he sexually assaulted a 22 year old college student. Well, he recently posted an ad looking for pen-pals on writeaprisoner.com:
I'm hoping to meet people in Washington. Most my family & friends live in Texas and I don't know anyone here. So let's see. I like people, traveling, music (all kinds), avocados, cars, dogs, lifting weights, and water sports. There is a lot of stuff about me and why I'm in prison online. Make of it what you will I guess. I served in the Marines from 2000-2004. I have a few friends from the marines that live here in Washington. Maybe by chance this will help me hook up with them. I've had an interesting life to say the least and I have a lot of funny stories.
Hit me up!!

Stephen Fry and Cheryl Cole have topped a nationwide poll (in England) as the celebs we'd most like to take a road trip with. Over a quarter of people picked eccentric social networking fan Fry as their favourite driving companion.
He also scooped the majority of the female vote with 28 per cent.
But it was X Factor star Cheryl Cole who was a hit with the gents, beating other female celebrities such as TV presenters Holly Willoughby (11 per cent) and Fern Britton (9 per cent).
Over 28 per cent of men preferred to hit the road with the Girls Aloud singer in their passenger seat.
( Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond. )
The poll by AutoTrader.co.uk also revealed Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is the British public's top driving tune.

| Tiger Woods -- The 911 Call |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|02:09 pm] |
TMZ has obtained the 911 call made when Tiger Woods crashed his SUV early Friday morning.
The caller, a male, can be heard telling dispatchers, "I need an ambulance immediately, I have someone down outside my house ... It's a car accident ... My neighbor, he hit the tree. I see him and he's laying down."
When the dispatcher asked if the person was unconscious, the neighbor responded, "Yes."

ETA: TIGER RELEASED A STATEMENT VIA HIS WEBSITE TIGERWOODS.COM
"As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.
This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.
This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.
The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.
This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be." |

JAKE AND REESE SPLIT?
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have split, a source close to the actress tells PEOPLE.
No further details were given.
Witherspoon, 33, and Gyllenhaal, 28, costarred in the 2007 movie Rendition, after which rumors started flying about them as an off-screen couple. By the summer of 2008, however, the rumors appeared to be confirmed, thanks, in part, to an extended Bastille Day holiday in Paris – followed, the next month, when they were seen in Marrakech, spending a Saturday strolling hand-in-hand, checking out bazaar stalls, before stepping into the shade for lunch, according to reports.
