Hugh Laurie Releasing Blues Album
Filed under: Music MinuteWe knew he was more than just a talented actor, but this is pretty impressive!
House M.D. star Hugh Laurie is releasing a blues album through Warner music group, featuring several guest musicians from New Orleans.
Laurie said:
"I am drunk with excitement at this opportunity. I know the history of actors making music is a chequered one, but I promise no one will get hurt. I am particularly thrilled to be working with Joe Henry, who has produced some of my favourite records of all time, and I can't wait to get started."
We love that he's so earnest and not to mention, self taught! Innerested to hear what he can do!

Shut Down! Yale Doesn't Want Franco To Teach!
Filed under: Oops! > James FrancoHow embarrassing!
Over the week, James Franco, who is currently enrolled as a Ph.D student at Yale, claimed on Good Morning America that he would be teaching a course over the next semester, which made us wonder if the seksi actor really could do just about anything!
Well, apparently not, because Yale's English Department Chair Michael Warner has come forward to let the world know that Franco was speaking a little too soon!
He reveals:
"As a grad student in our program, he would not ordinarily teach until his third year. [Franco] was referring to another project: a proposal for a college seminar that did not work out for this year."
Oopsie!
Guess they weren't interested in the How To Get Stoned And Play The Green Goblin seminar, bb!
Maybe next year! LOLs!

The Rolling Stones' Farewell Tour?
Filed under: Music Minute > Old PeopleThat's what they all say!
The Rolling Stones' next tour will reportedly be their last one because of their age! A source reveals:
"They're likely to perform in stadiums. It's almost certainly the last full-scale world tour. The band realize that age is creeping up on them. They want to bow out on top of their game, and not short-change fans."
The Stones are supposedly in talks with Live Nation to perform the shows worldwide next year.
We have a feeling this might be BS — their old age never stopped them before!
What do U think?

"The Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) Foundation is a not for profit [501(c)(3)] voluntary health organization, incorporated in Massachusetts and located in Avon, Connecticut (USA).

Robert Pattinson's Malibu Mayhem
Filed under: Robert PattinsonTeam Edward Vs. Team Parked Car.
Choose a Side!
Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson is getting heat from paparazzi for allegedly slamming into a parked car in Malibu.
The owner of the car who shares Pattinson's name, Rob Gottschlich, had the following to say about the incident:
"If I had a nice car like a Lexus or something, maybe [I would be concerned], but I've got an old Kia. I am going to ask Rob next time I see him for free tickets to the next Twilight film."
We can all learn a lesson from Robert Pattinson: If you inflict damage on a car whose owner shares your name, you’ll get away with it.
WTG R-Patz!

Ke$ha Opens Up About Trannies, Country Music And Being A Pervert!
Filed under: Dolly Parton > KeshaOh, Ke$ha!
Our favorite trashy trainwreck was interviewed by Paper Magazine and she had all kinds of bullshit interesting things to talk about!
Here are some HIGHlights:
On trannies:
Freaks are what make everything mildly more interesting in life but with trannies, they make me want to be a better woman. I see these men who have way better bodies than I do, more beautiful faces, better complexions, beautiful makeup, and they're more fun than any person I've met in my life. They make me feel like I'm not a very good woman.
On country music:
I'm really inspired by country music — my mom wrote country music — and I love Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. I think at some point there might be some country collaborations or records in the future. But I'm also really digging being called, like half jokingly, a white girl rapper. I think it's really funny and I'm going to ride that train for a little bit.On being a pervert:
I wouldn't say I'm aggressive, but I'm a pervert. I have a gold Trans Am and my favorite thing to do in the world is to drive around blasting Zeppelin or Sabbath, cat calling dudes. It doesn't work, but it's fun.On picking up guys in bars:
I usually do something ridiculous like send him over a shot of whiskey and then spank him. Something like that.On boozing:
I like whiskey and I like red wine — those are my two favorites. I love to lie around my house listening to vinyl records and drinking red wine. It's amazing. But I'm never home, so…
Blah, blah, blah!
Man Successfully Receives Full Face Transplant!
Filed under: InspirationAbsolutely unbelievable!
A Spanish man, who was left unable to breathe or eat without assistance after accidentally shooting himself in the face five years ago, was the first successful recipient of a full face transplant!
The procedure, led by Dr. Joan Pere Barrett, apparently took a full 24 hour, and involved lifting an entire face (including cheekbones, teeth, and muscle) and moving it onto the man, and he is expected to get up 90% of all facial functions back!
Although his body has since attempted to reject the face twice, it was successfully saved with medication, and he's being sent home to finish his recovery!
The patient's sister reveals that her brother is looking forward to doing "little things, like walking down the street without anyone looking at him, or sitting down for a meal with his family. Doing things that all of us do on a normal day."
We never stop being amazed at what modern science can help us accomplish.
We wish the man nothing but the best and hope that the rest of his recovery period goes by smoothly!
Thoughts??

ANOTHER Chuck E. Cheese Creepster!
Filed under: Tacky & TrueWhat is it about this establishment that attracts the freaks?!
A woman from Athens, Georgia is reporting that she was followed by a creepy man around a local Chuck E. Cheese.
He approached her while watching her children play and began talking to her about how he was a member of the UniverSoul Circus and could get her tickets. He followed her around the restaurant and then to other stores in the shopping center.
She asked why he was following her and she asked for her phone number. Luckily, the lady was smart and got his phone number along with taking a photo of him on her phone.
But it gets worse!
After she left to go home, he went back to Chuck E. Cheese and started harassing an employee by asking him, "Why were you talking to my girlfriend?"
WTF?! In the police report filed by the woman, she was worried that he may have followed her home or looking to abduct some children.
Scary.
