Photo Of Jett Travolta Dying At Center Of Extortion Scheme, According To Reports Posted: 21 Jan 2009 08:28 PM CST How horrible! Apparently the Travolta extortion scheme revolves around a cell phone picture taken of son Jett as he lay dying in the ambulance. It is believed that the photo was taken by one of the paramedics entrusted to help save Jett's life. The other person involved in the scheme is a local politician in the Bahamas, where the teen passed away. How sleazy! The men are threatening to sell the photo to the highest bidder if Travolta doesn't pay their million dollar ransom. Investigations and negotiations are underway. What an awful thing to have to deal with! [Image via AP Images.]

Caroline Kennedy Drops Out Of The Race! Posted: 21 Jan 2009 08:19 PM CST JFK's daughter, Caroline Kennedy, has taken her name out of consideration to replace newly appointed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as Senator of New York. Kennedy informed New York Governor David Paterson on Wednesday, and she is expected to make an official announcement shortly. No cause has been given yet for her removal, but The New York Times claims that Caroline was concerned about her uncle Ted Kennedy's health and decided not to take on the job of Senator after he became ill again this week. Uhmm, that may be true and all, but it's not likely the real reason! According to polling data, Caroline was not a favorite of the people of New York and she gave many shiteous TV interviews. Plus, it had been revealed that she had a less than sterling voting record and didn't even donate that regularly to her party, the Democrats. Hillary's successor is chosen by the Governor of New York. And, the main theory floating around is that Gov. Patterson informed Kennedy that she wasn't going to get the appointment and offered her the opportunity to remove herself from the race as a way of bowing out gracefully. The current frontrunner for the Senatorship is NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. May the best man or woman get the job! [Image via WENN.]

Criss Angel's Vegas Show In Crisis! Posted: 21 Jan 2009 07:45 PM CST As we mentioned last month, Criss Angel's new Cirque du Soleil show, Believe, opened to very very bad reviews. Even large publications have bashed the shiteous show. And now, in what looks to be a sign of bad times for the show, tickets are already being offered at almost half price! The official Cirque site mentions everyone can enjoy "A Haunting Journey with Criss Angel at 40% Off." Only 40% off? Maybe if it were free people would be willing to go watch it. The site adds: "CRISS ANGEL Believe is a haunting exploration deep inside the inventive mind of mystifyer Criss Angel as he hovers between the land of the living and a surreal world. Enjoy 40% off tickets to select performances to CRISS ANGEL Believe!" Wonder if the show's closing is coming anytime soon? [Image via WENN.]

Hey, Nerds! Posted: 21 Jan 2009 07:30 PM CST Beam us to the nearest Toys-R-Us! The much anticipated Star Trek dolls are finally arriving on Earth! Kirk, Spock, and Lieutenant Uhura are modeled after the actors portraying the timeless characters in the new May flick. The dolls are mostly intended for collectors and not kiddies. We think they might have waxed Spock's eyebrows a bit!

Another Example of Lily Allen Attention-Seeking Posted: 21 Jan 2009 07:15 PM CST Lily Allen 'accidently' sent a topless photo of herself to Kaiser Chiefs' front man Ricky Wilson and totally talked about it on BBC1. "That was really embarrassing. I was completely topless," said Lily. Uhm, it's not like we haven't seen your titays before! When asked who the topless pic was intended for, she answered Rick Astley. We wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't a joking. As we all know, she does like older men! [Image via WENN.]

Beef Curtains and Mr. Fugs Posted: 21 Jan 2009 07:00 PM CST Lauren Conrad is still dating that nobody actor Kyle Howard. You know, her real-life boyfriend that doesn't appear in the fake Hills! Just yesterday, the two "hard workers" were spotted at the beach in Malibu spending some quality time together. L.C. strolled around the beach with Mr. Fugs for a bit. Howard then took some time to go surfing while Beef Curtains watched from the beach and napped. Audrina, meanwhile, was studying math at home. Algebra is hard, y'all! [Image via Ability Films.]

Obama, The Musical! Posted: 21 Jan 2009 06:45 PM CST Talk about the power to influence people! President Barack Obama has inspired millions with his words and actions. So much so that a new musical is even being made about him. The show is titled Obama on My Mind. The play's music, lyrics, and script, were written by U.S. writer Teddy Hayes. Hayes describes his show as "a humorous romp set in an Obama campaign office, with songs that mix pop, gospel, jazz, 'some Motownish stuff' and even tango." The casting hasn't been announced yet, but they won't have to worry about finding a Barack. The Obama character never actually appears on stage. Hayes said, "Nobody can really impersonate Obama, can they? He's a one-off." The musical is set to open at a small theater in London this March from the 3rd through the 21st. [Image via WENN.]

Eyewitness Reports Jodie Sweetin Drug Relapse Posted: 21 Jan 2009 06:30 PM CST Uh oh! 'Recovered' drug user Jodie 'Stephanie Tanner' Sweetin is supposedly usin' and abusin' again. The former Full House star has been working on a movie called Port City in North Carolina. Someone who worked on the film claims to have witnessed Sweetin snort coke in a trailer. Here's the eyewitness' account: "I watched Jodie Sweetin snort cocaine. The door of the trailer was locked. We knocked on the door for a few minutes, and finally some guy let us in. Jodie was sitting on the couch. After a few minutes of conversation, Jodie announced: 'I have a surprise for you.' She led us to the back of the trailer where there was a white paper plate with a small pile of white powder and a rolled-up $20 bill beside it. Jodie said she'd just bought about $50 worth of cocaine from some local guys who'd been hanging out in the seedy neighborhood where we'd been filming. We each took turns cutting a line of coke and then snorting it. I witnessed Jodie snort at least two lines of cocaine." The snitch supposedly took a lie detector test and passed. Sweetin faces off with her baby daddy, Cody Herpin, for custody of their daughter, Zoie on Februrary 9. "If Jody is using drugs I want full custody of Zoie," says Herpin. "I'm concerned for our daughter's well-being. Jodie cannot be trusted to make good decisions when she's drunk or high." Yeah…coked up mom and baby really don't mix! [Image via WENN.]

Taylor… Still On Top Posted: 21 Jan 2009 06:15 PM CST And she does it again. For the seventh nonconsecutive week, Taylor Swift's album has been at the number one spot on the Billboard 200! Her album has now become the longest-running number one album by a solo female artist since Alanis Morissette and her 1995 smash Jagged Little Pill. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Swift's Fearless sold 63,000 copies during the last week. It's sold 2.3 million total so far. As for Beyonce, she just can't get out of Taylor's shadow. She's at the number two spot with I Am … Sasha Fierce moving 49,000 copies this past week. Good, but not good enough! [Image via WENN.]
