But What He Really Wants To Do Is Act…In Music Videos!
Filed under: Levi JohnstonYou have to hand it to him - as stupid as Levi Johnston looks and sounds, he still knows how to bring in the $$$.
So Levi is marrying Bristol Palin for the publicity, but he doesn't want to also turn his back on his Hollywood aspirations. So he is getting his toned Alaskan ass into acting.
He's starting by starring in a music video by some R&B and pop performer named Senser. It's a very "i'll scratch your back, you scratch mine" type of deal and the role sounds like something Levi can definitely handle.
A rep from Universal Music Group explains that Levi will be playing a "lover whose romance is thwarted by his girlfriend's disapproving mother."
Huh. Sounds somewhat familiar!
Levi's attorney says that his client is really "looking forward" to the project.
We're looking forward to Sarah Palin's reaction to the project!
Care to comment, Sexy Sarah?
Lindsanity Will Be Released Even Earlier!
Filed under: Lindsay Lohan > Legal MattersIt seems Lindsay Lohan will be released from Lynwood Correctional Facility in late July as opposed to the beginning of August.
The judge agreed to take two days credit off of her sentence for time that she was previously detained.
And LOLhan's reps are even hoping to do better than that! They want her released even earlier due to jail overcrowding .
“Lindsay’s team is doing everything they can to get her out of jail this weekend,” claims a source.
WTF?! If she gets out this weekend, she'll barely have served a week. Guess Lindsanity will never learn her lesson.

Mad Men Producer Pissed About The New York Times For Publishing Spoilers!
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > TV NewsOuch! He is NOT happy, and rightfully so!
The upcoming, much-anticipated season of Mad Men is almost upon is, and series creator Matthew Weiner, who is notorious about keeping the story under wraps until it airs, is livid about a New York Times article by Alessandra Stanley that reveals quite a few spoilers for what's to come!
He says:
“I was shocked – really shocked. I would love to have it known that this was done totally without my approval. Ninety-nine percent of the reporters who wrote about the show did not write about the story. A lot of people told me they were blindsided by (the Stanley article). You’d think the New York Times wouldn’t have to scoop me. It’s bittersweet when you don’t get to have the experience of seeing the show as it was meant to be seen. In some ways, it ruins the show. I’m kind of powerless. It’s the bargain you make: I wanted to have press, and it was nice to get that kind of space with those pictures. The alternative is not to share these things with the press any more – but how can you expect journalists to write about the show if you don’t? It was all very disappointing to me.”
Lame!
It's too bad that his request for spoiler-free previews was not honored by everyone!
So if you don't want to know what happens, stay away from The New York Times, folks!
What do U think?? Should The New York Times have published that article??

Scorsese To Take On The History Of Music?
Filed under: Music Minute > Film FlickersWe think he can handle it!
Director Martin Scorsese, writer Terence Winter and rock god Mick Jagger are rumored to be teaming up with HBO once again for a period drama series project entitled History of Music.
The series is being dubbed a "rock 'n roll epic" which follows two friends through 40 years in the music business.
The project is based on Mick's idea, which originated as a feature, and it was first pitched at Disney and then at Paramount where it was set up three years ago with Scorsese set to direct.
But now HBO wants to make a deal with Paramount to develop a pilot based on the idea. Nothing is set in stone yet with deals still under negotiation, but it sounds promising!
What do U think?

Casey Affleck Sued For Sexual Harassment, Plans To Countersue!
Filed under: Legal Matters > Joaquin PhoenixWe hope this isn't true!
Casey Affleck has been hit with a $2 million sexual harassment lawsuit by Amanda White, a producer on I'm Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix.
She claims that Casey acted inappropriately while directing the flick and that she experienced "uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances in the workplace."
In the complaint, While alleges that Casey called women "cows" and bothered his while discussing his sexual exploits. She also added that although Affleck is married to Joaquin's sister Summer, the director took over White's hotel room in Costa Rica to entertain two ladies. And he even tried to get her to spend the night with him in San Francisco.
She added that Casey became "hostile and aggressive" when she denied his advanced and "violently grabbed her arm in an effort to intimidate her into staying."
But Casey's camp is claiming this is bullshiz!
Affleck's lawyer, Michael Plonsker, said:
"The allegations brought upon our clients are preposterous and without merit. Ms. White was terminated from the production over a year ago. She and her lawyers believe that this maliciously and erroneously filed complaint will cause the producers to succumb to her outrageous and baseless demands. She is mistaken.
The complaint will be vigorously defended and cross-claims will be filed against her."
White is looking for damages for sexual harassment, breach of oral contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress and money owed as producer of the film.
Oh shiz. We don't know who to believe!

I am committed to talking to teens and encouraging them to become goal oriented and participate in positive activities that give back to their world."

Justin Bieber Talks About Voice Changing
Filed under: Usher > Justin BieberEven though Justin Bieber can't stop the puberty train from rolling in, he's taking precautions to make sure that when his voice changes, his career isn't ruined.
The 16-year-old singer is so concerned about not being able to hit his high-pitched notes, he's decided to take tips from mentor Usher by enlisting the help of a top singing coach to help him stay in tune.
The tween idol says:
"Everyone's voice changes. Puberty is a natural thing. I have the best vocal coach in the world and we're working on my voice and doing what I need to do. It's not like as soon as you hit puberty you stop singing. Usher is the best mentor in the world and he survived puberty. He tells me what to do, what not to do."
Nice to have someone like Usher on your team and giving you advice!

Ashlee Seems Like A Fun Mom!
Filed under: Baby Blabber > Ashlee Simpson > Jay-ZShe may not be singing or acting (or eating), but it sounds like she's a good mommy!
Ashlee Simpson opened up about her family, especially about her son little Bronx Mowgli. She says:
"Every day is like a milestone, I swear. It is the best thing. I mean, being a mother, taking the time that I have taken off just to be with him has really been incredible. Every day he is learning something new and growing. It is fantastic. I feel very fortunate."
So what do these two get up to during the day?
"We paint. He loves the water hose outside. That is always exciting, especially because it is extremely hot outside right now. We write on the walls with chalkboard and chalk. It is fun and it keeps you active because every day you're thinking, 'What are we going to do?' Even if it's just dancing in place. He is really cute. He is really becoming his own little man.
"He knows mama's voice because I sing for him all the time and we sing together. He knows the Elmo song; he sings that in the car, which is really cute. He loves Jay-Z. He says, 'Jay-Z ma ma.' So we do the ones without the swear words."
Adorbs!
