British-born actor Christian Bale has applied for US citizenship, a media report said. The Terminator: Salvation star left his native Wales in 1976 and lived all over Europe before moving Stateside for work in the late ’90s. Now the actor is eager to make America his permanent home, Star Magazine tipsters claim.
Christian sure doesn’t seem to have many ties left to his homeland: He’s all but disowned his mother and bankrupt sister since the women had him arrested for allegedly assaulting them on the evening of the London premiere of his movie The Dark Knight back in July 2008.
Bale is married to American model Sibi Blazic. The couple lives in Los Angeles with their young daughter Emmeline.

I think I speak for Golden Girls fans everywhere when I ask, “What is the meaning of this?!”
Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sophia — the posse of vibrant and single seniors affectionately known to generations of sitcom fans as The Golden Girls — are getting new life…..on the MILF aisle of your favorite adult DVD store.
The beloved TV comedy — which featured Bea Arthur, Betty White, and Rue McClanahan as aging spitfires sharing a home in sunny Miami — will be parodied in a steamy and X-rated skin flick from New Sensations; the porn aficionados that brought porn fans titles like Friends: A XXX Parody and My Hot Wife Is Fucking Blackzilla.
Adult film stars Lisa Ann, Puma Suede, Julia Ann and Diamond Foxxx are among the stars who have been cast in The Golden Girls – An All MILF XXX Parody. The DVD — set for release later this year — will begin filming in Los Angeles this week.
The Golden Girls aired on NBC for seven seasons before being cancelled in 1992; but the show isn’t the only classic series being dirted up by the team at New Sensations. The company plans to release filthy parodies of several popular shows and movies in the coming months. You pervs out there should be on the lookout for The Breakfast Club: A XXX Parody, 24 The Porno, The A-Team: An X-Rated Parody, Buffy: A XXX Parody, Lost: A XXX Parody, and an X-rated revamp of J.K. Rowlings’ Harry Potter.
Programming Note: Happy Easter/Passover, My Lovely PopCrunch Fam! I apologize for the lack of updates over the past few days. I’m still struggling through this nasty flu/sinus infection, so please bare with me. Hopefully I’ll be feeling back to normal one day soon. Now that that’s out of the way, on to the celebrity foolery!
The City of Dallas just won’t let Erykah Badu and her bare ass live! The neo-soul star faces a disorderly conduct charge — a $500 fine — for her nude music video shoot in Downtown Dallas’ historic Dealey Plaza March 17, officials announced on Friday.
Badu, a Dallas native, performed a walking striptease in front of tourists, pedestrians, and one very “grossed out” nine-year-old during the video shoot for Badu’s hit single “Window Seat.” The performance ended with a nude Badu acting out receiving a fatal gunshot to the head at the spot where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Nov. 1963.
On Friday, Sgt. Warren Mitchell of the Dallas Police said the decision to cite Badu for disorderly conduct — a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 — came after witness Ida Espinosa, 32, of nearby Vernon, Texas filed a criminal complaint against Badu. I should probably mention that it was Ida’s nine-year-old who was treated to a full-frontal view of Erykah in the buff.
The singer also filed to obtain a permit to shoot the video in Dealey Plaza.
“Having a fact witness that was there is what let us file the charges. After much discussion, we feel that these charges best fit her conduct. She disrobed in a public place without regard to individuals and small children who were close by.”
That Erin Andrews just can’t catch a break! First she was secretly videotaped naked and blasted online. Now she’s receiving death threats.
The blonde bombshell has been getting death threats in a stream of emails to The Dan Patrick Show, a lawyer for the ESPN reporter and Dancing With The Stars contestant said Friday.
The emails first started arriving to The Dan Patrick Show — who Erin is a contributor — last September and were at first purely sexual. The letters have become increasingly explicitly violent in recent weeks and “threatened Erin with murder,” her attorney Marshall Grossman said.
DirecTV provided the emails to Andrews’ representatives Thursday.
Erin, obviously rattled, has asked ABC to beef up security on the set of DWTS. Private security also has been hired to protect Andrews and her family.
The FBI, who are investigating the threats, have identified the culprit and believes the man lives somewhere in Newport News, Virginia.
The messages discuss the case of Michael David Barrett, who was sentenced last month to 2 1/2 years in federal prison for secretly shooting nude videos of Andrews in hotels around the United States and then posting the footage online.
Just when you think you’ve all the foolery the world has the offer, here comes some Z-lister on the hunt for a check and five minutes of fame…..
Another woman from Tiger Woods’ past has returned to bite the famed golfer in the rear — and this time it isn’t one of the legions of Pancake House waitresses, pornstars, or hired pros who have hit the sack with the sportsman.
Tiger’s newest adversary is none other than his kindergarten teacher, Ms. Decker.
Ms. Decker (No first name necessary…), who is being repped by attorney/Ho Saver to the Star Gloria Allred, is denying claims that the golfer made FIVE years ago about a racially charged incident he alleged happened when he was a student in the retired teacher’s kindergarten class in the early ’80s.
“I became aware of my racial identity on my first day of school, on my first day of kindergarten. A group of sixth graders tied me to a tree, spray-painted [the n-word] on me, and threw rocks at me. That was my first day of school. And the teacher really didn’t do much of anything,” Woods said in an interview in pal Charles Barkley’s 2005 book, Who’s Afraid of a Large Black Man?
Never happened says Ms. Decker.
“Ms. Decker believes that no such incident ever occurred to Tiger Woods while he was under he care as a kindergarten pupil on the first day of class,” Allred said in a statement Friday. “Further, neither Tiger nor his parents nor anyone even reported the alleged racial incident to her or the administration. Therefore Ms. Decker contends that the statement that ‘…and the teacher really didn’t do much of anything,’ is completely untrue, since such an incident never occurred and was never reported to her by anyone while Tiger was a student at the school.”
Ms. Decker says Tiger’s falsehoods about her have diminished her quality of health: she claims to have suffered severe migraines, panic attacks, stress, and elevated blood pressure as a result of the incident. Ms. Decker would like the golfer to retract his 2005 statement and apologize. Classic case of opportunism from someone looking to make some money from the massive misdeeds of a dirtbag. Since cold medicine puts a damper on your ability to put together coherent thoughts, I don’t even have the energy to dissect this mess — but I’m sure you get the picture.
We’re going to take a quick break from covering our normal daily dish of celebrity tomfoolery to bring you something completely carefree and totally innocent: Barbie!
The White House Project and the First Lady of Mattel — who has dabbled in more than 126 careers over the past 51 years — are teaming up for a new initiative aimed at helping girls. The goal is to get 1 million declaration signatures for the “Ignite a National Movement to Inspire Girls.” The idea behind this is to gain support for a partnership to help get girls into hands-on work experiences through Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day. Once 1 million signatures have been gathered, the declaration will be presented to First Lady Michelle Obama.
Kal Penn, star of the Harold & Kumar movies and a former regular on the FOX hit House, will leave his job in the Obama administration to appear in a new Christmas-themed flick as his signature stoner character, Entertainment Weekly reported Friday.
Penn quit his gig on the hospital drama to become White House director of public engagement last year. On Friday, a rep for the star confirmed that he has abandoned the post to return to the bright lights of Tinseltown and will begin work on his next Harold & Kumar flick in June.
True Blood fans where shocked as series star Anna Paquin declared that she is bisexual in a public service announcement for a gay rights campaign launched by Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Fund on Thursday. In fact, folks were so eager to watch the 27-year-old Oscar winner unleash the bombshell that the website hosting the PSA crashed.
The site, wegiveadamn.org, said Friday that it was “overwhelmed” by the “enormous traffic” and had suffered a crash. Additional servers have since been added.
The “We Give A Damn” initiative promotes “the advancement of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality.”
After being called about by numerous groups over their recent Native American name change, the reality pests formerly known as Heidi and Spencer want to meet with tribal leaders to discuss the controversy.
Running Bear (AKA Spencer) hopes that the chat will help Native American activists understand that he and White Wolf (Heidi) are well-versed about the culture. After all, everyone’s seen Pochantas.
“Changing our names to Running Bear and White Wolf isn’t meant to be disrespectful … we respect [Native American] heritage and have a sincere acknowledgment of their beautiful culture. [White Wolf and I] would like to invite any Native American tribal leaders to meet with us to help us further understand their culture.”
Former Beverly Hills, 90210 bad girl Shannen Doherty is having some trouble paying her state taxes. The actress — who is said to be devastated after becoming the first person to get the boot on the new season of Dancing with the Stars — was hit with a $44,064.58 tax lien by the state of California this week.
Shannen — said to be shopping a docusoap to various networks — is already facing a lawsuit with City National Bank, who claims the star failed to repay an $85,000 loan.
The 92-year-old passed of complications from pneumonia in Santa Ynez, Calif. on Thursday, Entertainment Tonight reports.
“He was 92 years old and, thankfully, he died as he lived his life… with dignity and grace,” his family said in the statement.
Forsythe famously played “Charlie” — the voice behind the speakerbox on the ’70s small screen series Charlie’s Angels and the two feature films, Charlie’s Angels and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. The star also portrayed patriarch Blake Carrington on TV’s Dynasty. The latter role won Forsythe a pair of Golden Globes for Best Actor On A TV Drama in the 1980s.
The family request that those wishing to honor his memory make donations to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
La Lohan is broke as a joke — at least that’s the tale TMZ.com is spinning.
According to the gossip site, one of Hollywood’s most talked about starlets is facing some mayjah cashflow troubles.
Celebrity informants say Lohan’s finances are in tatters because she isn’t pulling in any income and her prospects for work are almost non-existent because of her alleged substance abuse issues. Word is the effed-up ex-child star — who once helmed box office hits like Mean Girls and The Parent Trap – doesn’t even have enough money to pay her rent.
Lindsay was reportedly two months behind on her rent and just paid her landlord $23,000 in arrears to become current. This after the actress was reportedly slammed with a eviction notice that required her to pay up or vacate the property.
Rosemary’s Baby is about to be reborn. The horror classic Rosemary’s Baby is set to be revived for the big screen once again, according to film critic Roger Ebert: Transformers lensman Michael Bay is remaking the 1968 flick.
In 2008, gossip had it that Bay would helm a remake of Pervy Roman Polanski’s cinema gem, which starred Mia Farrow as a young newlywed who falls pregnant with the Devil’s baby. And a new Tweet from Ebert seems to confirm the news.
“Michael Bay is remaking Rosemary’s Baby. O… kay,” the legendary silver screen “critiquer” wrote in a post on his Twitter page on Thursday.
Bay’s production company Platinum Dunes is overseeing the making of the movie.
The DC version of The Real World, which debuted in December and wrapped up with a series finale and reunion special on Wednesday, was the least-watched edition of The Real World in the series’ 23 season history.
“Wednesday’s The Real World DC finale attracted about 1.1 million viewers — the smallest finale audience in the show’s 23-edition history. As if that’s not bad enough, the three least-watched episodes ever in “The Real World” history all came out of its Washington edition. Five of the six least watched “Real World” episodes ever — also Washington,” The Washington Post wrote on Thursday.
No surprises there. Apparently the rest of the world is catching on to what I’ve known since I was 12: Washington is one of the most boring cities in the United States of America, where nothing even remotely interesting will ever happen. Next!
The show attracted big headlines during filming last summer: Washingtonians were left livid after shooting disrupted parking and pedestrain traffic in its posh DuPont Circle neighborhood, but failed to live up to the hype — particularly after the premiere of the runaway MTV reality hit Jersey Shore.
At least something good may come after the ratings trainwreck: The semi-mansion at 2000 S. Street where the castmates lived while shooting the program is reportedly being turned into a high-end restaurant.
The upcoming 24th season of The Real World — premiering next fall — will head back to New Orleans for the first time since 2000.
Oh no! If Law & Order returns for a landmark 21st season next fall, television’s longest-running crime drama will be missing a very familiar face: S. Epatha Merkerson.
The NAACP Image and Emmy Award-winning actress will vacate her role as touch Lt. Anita Van Buren after 19 long years with the wildly successful police drama series, The Hollywood Reporter said Thursday. Merkerson has been a part of the cast of the popular show for 19 years and has appeared in nearly 400 episodes.
No word on what the exit will mean for Merkerson’s cancer-stricken character.
“She made the request before the cop drama was to go into production on the final episode of season 20 so her character could be given an appropriate send-off.”
The actress says: “It’s a graceful way to go. It’s the end of my contract this year, and the storyline has been so perfect. I’ve given it my best for 16 years. It’s time to move on. I’m doing other things and this will be a great way to leave what has been an extraordinary gig.”
If Hollywood ever hit the green light on a box office adaptation of the ’80s arcade classic Pac-Man, this is what it what the movie might look like. The mock trailer was created by Therefore Productions, a group of professional video makers who occasionally come together for creative projects like this.
Is there a feud brewing between American Idol’s Simon Cowell and Dancing With The Stars judge Len Goodman?
Cowell attracted headlines this week after he threw a subliminal diss at the “old-fashioned” ABC reality dance competition while critiquing a contestant’s performance on Tuesday’s show.
On this week’s Idol, Top 10 finalist Didi Benami performed a disatrous rendition of “What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted,” a performance which ultimately got the aspiring star sent home, but not before Simon slammed her and Dancing With The Stars.
“If you listen to one of those dancing shows, they always have a singer murdering a song on it,” Simon retorted. “That’s what it kind of — if you’ve ever watch it – that’s what it kind of sounded [like].”
Goodman — who is an Idol fan — didn’t appreciate the slam and sounded off on Simon’s remarks in an interview with Access Hollywood on Thursday.
“He’s bitter. Honestly, he’s bitter. Simon Cowell is bitter,” Len told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush. “As far as I’m concerned, those singers are genius. When you watch what they have to go through – hip-hop, light operatic, anything thrown at them, they’re brilliant. I love that band and I love those singers and I didn’t mind Simon Cowell until this point.”
Did Neal McDonough’s refusal to get saucy on the small screen send the former Desperate Housewives star to the unemployment line? McDonough was reportedly fired just three days in to shooting for his new ABC drama Scoundrels after the devoted Catholic refused to take part in a sex scene.
Reports claim McDonough was let go when he told producers he would not strip for an “inappropriate” love scene with co-star Virginia Madsen.
“It wasn’t just ‘heated love scenes,’” an insider explained to Deadline Hollywood this week. “He wouldn’t do any kissing whatsoever, even though those scenes were clearly in the scripts he read before taking the role. He didn’t tell the producers that cast him on this show that he had any issues with this until shooting started. So unprofessional, and such a shame because he is a great talent.”
McDonough has been replaced on the show by actor David James Elliott.
