Jul 292011

Chloe Lattanzi has gone all Eminem on us.

The 25-year old daughter of Olivia Newton-John, Lattanzi has come under fire for the depiction of her shaking, bloody body in a bathtub during the video for “Play with Me.”

In response, The Australian Council for Children has issued the following statement, bemoaning and criticizing the singer’s alleged “need for attention.”

“I think it’s sad that this young woman has such a need for attention that she needs to push the envelope of good taste and appropriateness this far,” the council’s Media President, Elizabeth Handsley, said. “This simply glamorizes a range of harmful behaviors and does nothing to help empower young people to cope with relationship problems.”

Says Lattanzi in a Twitter video: “I know it may be quite disturbing, but I appreciate you tuning in and all the opinions that are voiced,” she tells the camera. “It’s purely just for artistic value. I don’t want to kill myself, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to kill anybody.”

What do you think? Does the video go too far?

Big Brother Eviction: Going Out in Style!

Jul 292011

Thursday’s installment of Big Brother was one of the season’s best so far, even with little or no suspense regarding the results of the eviction ceremony.

We knew Dominic was going down. What we didn’t know was whether he would burn out in flames or merely fade away. It was definitely the former.

The collateral damage was pretty significant this week. THG breaks down last night’s eviction episode of the CBS guilty pleasure in its +/- recap …

Rachel, Brendon, Jeff and Jordan are PISSED at Daniele’s meddling. She overplayed her hand in doing so, and yes, it was backhanded. But why the histrionics and vitriol? It’s a game based on evicting people! Minus 56 for their collective idiocy.

Jeff, not over-dramatically at all, equates Dom’s complicity to murder. Plus 13.

His goal coming in was to spend the summer with Jordan, Jeff says. Aren’t they dating? BB is fun and all, but they could do that elsewhere, no? Minus 4.

Dom is grilled by Jeff, but won’t blame Dani by name or even utter the words back door. Too late for chivalry and ass-covering, but nice effort. Plus 5.

His ego swelling more each instant, Brendon starts laying into … Kalia. Minus 8.

Presumably for not exposing Dani’s evil plot, which she may or may not have realized the extent of, she’s Brendon’s new target? It’s not clear. Minus 17.

Jeff is intent on not playing a game based on lies … on Big Brother. Good for you, man. But come on, don’t act appalled that others do lie. Minus 27.

At the house meeting, Jeff and Brendon SHRED Kalia. Her defense? “She’s my friend,” she said of Dani. LOL. Untrue, and a terrible comeback. Minus 11.

Daniele: “Rachel… you’re an idiot, first of all.” Plus 34.

On the hot seat but honest about her intentions, Dani tells Jeff she tried to get Brenchel to backdoor him because she felt he was a big threat. Despite this candor, Jeff still brushes her aside and scapegoats Dominic. Minus 7.

Lawon hilariously interjects, for no reason at all, that he’s in to win! Plus 50.

His fate sealed, Dom earns Plus 15 for slamming the cast on the way out the door. “We all suck at this game,” he said, labeling them “spineless jellyfish.”

“If I had someone with a spine to play with me, aside from the last week, there would be a game being played, not what it is right now.” BAM! Plus 15 more.

Dani defiantly votes to keep Dominic at least. Plus 6.

Porsche calls herself a “jellyfish” whilst voting in the diary room. She does have a similar brain cell count to one of those organisms. Minus 8.

We’re gonna miss Dominic. Sure, he overreached, threw a veto competition when he was on the block, tried to cut more deals than he could keep straight and generally f*%ked up, but the kid had personality and kept things interesting! Plus 10.

Adam and Dom’s post-vote farewell was pretty awesome. Plus 4.

Plus 10 for Jordan channeling Rachel in her goodbye video.

Please, PLEASE let Daniele win this endurance competition and become Head of Household! We would also accept Lawon, but … come on. Plus 7.

EPISODE TOTAL: +31. SEASON TOTAL: +26.

So You Think You Can Dance Results: Down to Six…

Misc No Responses »

Jul 292011

Lady GaGa took to the stage and two more contestants took to the road on So You Think You Can Dance last night. A detailed review follows.

Group Dance – Contemporary (Tyce Diorio) – The group performed a circus themed piece with Jess as the ringmaster and it was interesting to see everyone’s moves used in a freaky kind of way. They managed to cover up Tadd’s lack of contemporary skills by placing him on a rope swinging around instead of doing choreography. It was fun to watch because there was so much to look at.

Eliminations – The four girls were up on stage first to find out who was in the bottom. At this point, there was a clear divide between them. Sasha and Melanie basically could do no wrong, even with Sasha’s forgettable Quickstep. Melanie also had the advantage of having Neil as her all-star.

The problem with Jordan and Caitlynn is that they fill the same dance-type: sexy contemporary. Jordan had a rocky night with an okay Tyce routine and an above average rhumba. Caitylnn was forgettable. After the commercial break, the top two girls were obviously Sasha and Melanie.

The guys followed with their eliminations. Jess continued to be just blah. Marko had one of the most moving contemporary routines and was the standout of the hip-hop routine with Ricky. Marko was easily safe and Jess was in the bottom. Ricky’s jive mostly upset me because the show didn’t choose either the Tina Turner original or Glee‘s version of “River Deep, Mountain High” to dance to. Tadd benefitted from having a SYTYCD winner perform with him as well. Ricky was safe with the help of the Marko hip-hop. He was as shocked as I have been. Tadd was in the bottom four.

Musical Guest Performance – LXD (The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers) – I’ve caught LXD’s videos on Hulu and love watching how artistic they are. The group managed to give such an classy look to bone-breaking. Christopher Scott proved that he’s not only a good choreographer, but still a great dancer.

Solos
Jordan – Jordan returned to her sex kitten performance, using the Rihanna’s lyrics to emphasize her choreography. It’s funny how much of “S&M” had to be edited to comply with standards. Her splits are amazing but she needs to put more content in her dances. All her routines, no matter what tempo, feels like: split, arabesque, spin, shake butt, and repeat until time runs out.

Jess – She returned to the stereotypical Broadway routine with suspenders and gloves. He did a really long spinning sequence and ended with his split. Jess has run out of inspiration being in the bottom once before and having to do a solo during the Top 10. Didn’t the judges criticize him for mugging too much?

Caitlynn – The one advantage of having Caitlynn and Jordan on the bottom, the performance is the apples to apples comparison. Caitlynn had more content in her routine and used her butt-poof to her advantage. The performance was still sleep-inducing, but better than Jordan’s’ routine.

Tadd – He wins for doing two things: using the light fixture and choosing “Jump in the Line.” Unlike the other three dancers, Tadd is bringing different solo performances each time he performs, but you still know exactly who Tadd is and what he’s good at. It’s possible that as a break dancer he has flashier moves, but it’s also the technique of stringing the moves together.

Musical Performance – Lady GaGa “You & I”/”Edge of Glory” – Lady GaGa moved from judging last night to performing tonight and while it was obvious the performance was pre-taped, Lady GaGa was still energetic. She jumped right into the middle of “Glory” in hopes more to advertise her new single. She’s releasing these singles too quickly. If you kept your eye on the backup dancers you could see SYTYCD alum Mark right behind Lady GaGa; probably the reason why he’s not an All-Star this season. The routine was one of Lady GaGa’s dance oriented routines and at least she catered the performance the show she was on.

THE RESULTS – Nigel pointed out that he was disappointed by both girls’ routines, but Jordan was eliminated. It seems like the judges have a personal preference for Caitlynn. As for the guys, Nigel appreciated Jess’ character and Tadd’s unique dancing. Uniqueness won over character and Jess was eliminated. There’s something about Jess’ face that comes off naturally smug that I could never be a fan of.

Crystal Harris made news this week for saying Hugh Hefner can’t satisfy a woman.

But a couple Playmates have come out and stood up for the magazine magnate by saying he definitely knows what to do when girlfriends are lying down.

“I’ve heard girls say they have a lot of fun in there,” Miss June 2004, Hiromi Oshima, told People, while while Dani Mathers, who works at Playboy TV adds: “I think they definitely had sex more than that one time and it wasn’t two minutes. Hef definitely has a sex life.”

Hugh Hefner has been spotted with numerous women over the years. But does the mogul do anything with them before closed doors?

Do you think Hugh Hefner still gets some?

Wow. Jalen Rose can’t seem to get a break.

Dude got popped for speeding Wednesday night just hours after he’d been sentenced to 20 days in jail for DUI by a judge earlier that very day.

Rose was pulled over shortly before 9 p.m. in the Detroit suburb of Clawson, going 46 m.p.h. in a 25 m.p.h. zone. That’s where they get ya.

The 38-year-old former NBA player pleaded guilty to a March drunk driving crash back in May, later issuing an apology statement for his conduct.

Rose’s attorney criticized the judge’s steep sentence for Rose’s DUI, calling him out for making an example of the ESPN analyst, who has no record.

Former New York Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu has been found dead in his California home. The native of Okinawa, Japan was just 42 years old.

It appears he committed suicide by hanging himself, according to reports. The L.A. County Coroner’s office is trying to locate next of kin.

A Japanese pitching star, Hideki played for the Yankees, Expos, and Rangers, winning World Series rings with New York in 1998 and 1999.

IRabu

R.I.P. Hideki Irabu (1969-2011).

Multiple reports indicate that the police are investigating Irabu’s death as a suicide, although those reports were unconfirmed as of Thursday afternoon.

Irabu had been arrested twice in the past three years, once for drunk driving in California and another time for assaulting a bartender in Japan.

Kat Von D Opens Up on Jesse James Split, Interview Fiasco: I Suck!

Kat Von D is speaking out about her recent split with Jesse James and how her emotions spiraled out of control, culminating in her walking off the set of an interview with Good Day LA, then getting into a Twitter feud with its host.

This crazy week has led, at last, to a moment of clarity.

“What can I say?” the title of her latest blog post reads, regarding the Good Day LA incident. “I suck. I allowed today to get the best of me.”

Days after news broke that James and Von D broke up, calling off their engagement, the LA Ink star is not saying sorry – she’s “not strong enough.”

“It is in my nature to admit when I’m weak,” she writes.

Kat Von D is also not apologizing to – or dissing – Jesse James, to whom she got engaged last winter. “In my relationship, I had never before felt as solid and strong – even though the world said different by all the criticism,” she says.

Not that it was easy. “Lost a lot of friends and caused turmoil within some of my family members because of the bull– the media put out there,” Kat laments. “Some fans even changed their perception of who they thought I was.”

Those lost friends may never come back, but the memories she shared with James will last forever. She is, just FYI, keeping the tattoo of his face.

The tattoo artist also clarified that although “none of this happened overnight,” she had only the best intentions for her relationship with James.

“It felt like it was just the two of us against the world. Never planned on walking away from this relationship, let alone the timing of things.”

Kat did not elaborate on rumors that James was involved with another woman, but those don’t sound like the words of a woman scorned to us.
