Snooty British actor Sir Ben Kingsley – who really seriously insists on being called “Sir Ben” – recently told an American reporter that he thinks the entertainment industry fucks with the heads of its youthful stars:
Some young people are told they’re actors and they’re not. It’s unfair to exploit a young person who may look good on a magazine cover and tell them they can be in movies. You’re lifting their expectations so high and then pulling the rug from under their feet when the audience gives them a thumbs-down. We throw people away too easily but should never invite them in the first place.

Well daddy, you get us a lot of nice things, so you do what you have to do.
-Willow Smith, in response to her dad telling her his upcoming movie, Hancock, was going to beat her upcoming movie, Kitt Kittredge: An American Girl, at the box office
Gawd, is there anything worse than rich kids from California?
This weekend in Malibu, a bunch of tanned turds in board shorts chased some paparazzi down the beach before physically assaulting them and smashing their cameras. The surfers, upset that the photographers were filming Matthew McConaughey on their beach, also called the paparazzi “faggots” and demanded that they “get a real job.”
“This is a real job,” a photographer is heard to say in the video after the jump. “What do you do?” “I fuckin’ drink beer and party,” replies one young assailant. To which his friend adds, “WHOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Bravo is cooking up a spinoff to its “Top Chef” franchise that would feature teenage competitors.
…
“Top Chef Junior,” which is in development, is a cooking-competition series that would feature contestants who likely will range in age from 13 to 16. Bravo said that “Top Chef,” which aired its season finale Wednesday night, is a draw with younger viewers, ranking in the top 15 shows among kids/teens 2-17 in the Wednesday 10-11 p.m.
We don’t know which is more disgusting: The grease burns these nervous kiddies are going to sustain week after week or the fact that media sharks and scummy admen actually track the viewing habits of FUCKING TWO-YEAR-OLDS!!!!!!
Here’s something we’re sick of seeing besides the Jonas brothers themselves (what do they even do?): rolled-up jacket sleeves.
Kids, if you’re not mature enough to deal with the slight discomfort that accompanies wearing a suit properly in New York City in June, you don’t deserve $3,000 suits.
Sammy, Frank and Deano wore fedoras and closely cut sharkskin numbers 24 hours a day in Las fucking Vegas, an ocean of sand and sun, and they never pulled this shit. What’s happened to the American pop star?

Good news: The CW’s new 90210 actually has a black character!
Bad news: Said black character is in Beverly Hills because he was adopted by a wealthy white family and given a “better life.”

Ashlee Simpson, on being told that, in cockney rhyming slang, “one too many Britney Spears” means “one too many beers”: “Oh, you mean one too many trashy girls!”
Um, no, that’s not what he meant, you damn pot.
The woman whom fugitive director Roman Polanski raped more than 30 years ago appeared Tuesday at the premiere of a documentary about the notorious attack. Samantha Geimer, who was just 13 when Polanski sexually assaulted her in Jack Nicholson’s Hollywood home, told Fox News that, were she able to say one thing to Polanski, she would tell him, “I’ll bet you wish you never met me.”
After being convicted of statutory rape, Polanski, who was then 44, fled to Europe to avoid jail time. He’s since not set foot in America and won an Oscar.
IS THE SUMMER KILLING THE BIZ? “In a business in which the average cost of making and marketing a studio film is more than $100 million, the summer movies have been tailored more and more to the mindlessness often associated with the tastes of young males, still Hollywood’s most loyal audience. This youth-pandering has become so relentless that it has put a crimp into one of my favorite rituals: walking through theater lobbies in the spring and looking at the posters for upcoming summer films. In some years things got so dire that I couldn’t find a film I even wanted to see, let alone review. As if this tendency weren’t bad enough in and of itself, it began leaking into and infecting the rest of the year. The reality is that, except for the ghettoized adult window in the fall, this dumber-is-better attitude is threatening to take over all of the major studios’ output. Not to put too fine a point on it, but the summer is killing American movie culture.”
At right is Latarian Milton, a seven-year-old boy from South Florida who was in hot water recently after stealing his grandmother’s Dodge Durango and joyriding around town with a friend of his, also seven. Milton drove through a Costco parking lot and up and down some main roads before crashing into a sign on the sign of the road, in the process running over a couple mailboxes and hitting several parked and moving cars. Nobody was hurt and Milton is now the talk of his small town.
When a local newsman asked Milton why he took the car, our new hero proclaimed, “I wanted to do it because it’s fun—it’s fun to do bad things … I wanted to do hoodrat stuff with my friend.”
After hearing about the $10,000 bassinets and cashmere onesies lavished onto JLo and Posh Spice’s velvet-bottomed brats, it’s nice to know there’s still some real badass kids in the world evening things out.

Heard about Aliza Shvarts, the Yalie senior who, over the course of nine months, induced multiple miscarriages in the name of art? Check it: ” … she will showcase the stomach-turning display next week — complete with her own blood samples and videos from the terminated possible pregnancies.” My goodness, can you imagine what kind of spoiled, pretentious, ignorant kid would do such a thing? Perhaps you can, but don’t, because after the jump we’ve posted video footage of this Shvarts simpleton. And get this: she’s literally atop a soapbox saying things like, “So, empowerment: it’s important.” Ha!
‘HOT BITCHES, FIERCE GUYS‘ “Paris Hilton’s new reality show should be called ‘I Want To Be Paris Hilton’. Heirhead wannabes lined up Tuesday at Nikki Beach in New York for Hilton’s new MTV reality series, ‘Paris Hilton’s My New BFF’ and it wasn’t pretty. ‘It looked like Barbie threw up in there,’ said our spy. ‘All the girls looked like versions of Donatella Versace. They all had bleached blond hair, too-dark tans and were wearing tight, shiny dresses. All the guys that were there were gay … ‘ Casting directors had sent out a notice saying they were looking for ‘hot bitches and fierce guys’ for the show.”
Oh, Young Hollywood and their kooky fads!
Today, on the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the war in Iraq, let us remember that 3,982 Americans and countless others from around the world have been killed in this conflict. Most of the American dead were under the age of 25. Currently, there is no real plan to bring the soldiers home.
Overtly scary Britney Spears fan Chris Crocker claims the people at YouTube are trying to shut him down. He says that a video he posted to the site in which he complains about the dimly lit Internet and its homophobic citizenry has prompted YouTube deciders to take unfair action against his oh-so-popular clips. “YouTube doesn’t support me!” he says defiantly before issuing a bold call to action: “I’m asking all of you, please, in the name of freedom, subscribe to my YouTube channel.” In the name of freedom, people.
Fancy phones, corporate sponsorship, giants, war heroes, stars and stripes, football, sunny days, television, crowds and brotherly love. God bless America!

Wow, gentleman, is that honestly a barely legal – barely – Hayden Panettiere dressed like a little girl in a nightie and playing with stuffed animals? How pedoerotic! And Nabokovesque, thereby banal.
Gross and bromidic: What a pair. And lucky for you, little girls always get crushes on clichéd jerks.
Ask her to prom and then don’t go, because you’re much too old for that. And you’re married. Oh, God, what have you done?
Even famous guys can’t get away with some things and this face proves it. What this face does not prove – but does slightly hint at – is that this sour girl is only 20. (We’re sure she’s drinking just ginger ale.) Well done, Brody.
