Director James Cameron has teamed up with Earth Day Network, pledging to plant one million trees across the globe by the end of 2010.
The folks behind Cameron’s Oscar-winning film Avatar will be releasing the Blu-ray and DVD of the film on Earth Day in an effort to help fans go green, producers announced at a press conference Tuesday. Cameron, on the other hand, used the occasion to lash out at conservative FOX News commentator Glenn Beck, offering to debate the Fox News personality on environmental and political issues.
When asked what he thought about Beck during the press junket for the Avatar-Earth Day initiative, Cameron replied: “Glenn Beck is a f—ing asshole. I’ve met him. He called me the anti-Christ, and not about ‘Avatar.’ He hadn’t even seen ‘Avatar’ yet. I don’t know if he has seen it.”
He continued: “He’s dangerous because his ideas are poisonous…..I couldn’t believe when he was on CNN. I thought, what happened to CNN? Who is this guy? Who is this madman? And then of course he wound up on Fox News, which is where he belongs, I guess.”

-The Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are looking into some death threats made against the President on Twitter. What idiot a.) threatens to kill someone because you don’t agree with their politics; and b.) threatens to kill the President on Twitter!
Conservative blogger Solly Forrell came under investigation for Tweeting that the “next American with a clear shot” should kill Obama after Sunday night’s historic vote to overhaul health care. Solly now tells Gawker he was “speaking out of anger,” and doesn’t really want Obama killed. Uh-huh…We don’t believe you — you need more people. The Secret Service takes threats to the President VERY seriously and it is a federal offense even if the remarks are meant as a joke — clearly not the case here. There are better ways to express one’s displeasure. Why isn’t this psycho in jail yet?
-In some states, slut shit could cost you some serious coins. Cynthia Shackelford, 60, sued her husband’s mistress, Anne Lundquist, 49 for ruining her marriage, claiming alienation of affection, criminal conversation (AKA Adultery), and intentionally or recklessly causing severe emotional distress…..She won $9 million in a Greensboro court last week.. North Carolina is one of only 7 states that still have the “Alienation of Affection” clause on the books. See Hussies, being a prostitution whore just doesn’t pay….
The Vice-President’s colorful mouth has landed him in some hot water on one of the most historic days of the Obama administration.
Just before a press conference to announce President Barack Obama’s signing of the health care reform bill on Tuesday morning, VP Biden is heard saying, “This is a big fucking deal,” in Obama’s ear as the pair embraced.
OMG politicians say naughty words?? Oh boy, do you think they go potty too?
Apparently, Biden wasn’t aware that the President’s mic had already been turned on. Obama didn’t say anything in response, but he did smile at Biden as he took to the podium.
“When I was like 11, [my mom] made me sign a contract and it says, ‘I will not ever get a tattoo,’ and it’s like the little X and a line and I had to sign my name….”
Oh My Lanta, did Dakota Fanning break her mom’s staunch “No Tattoo” rule when she met L.A. Ink’s Kat Von D on TBS’ Lopez Tonight Monday?
Nope — but the cute-as-a-button 16-year-old did walk away with some hot ink.
After some wrangling from host George Lopez, Kat — who Dakota adores — etched a temporary cherry bomb tattoo on the clean-cut child star’s bicep with colored pens. The tat — which should wash off in the next few days — is a tribute to Dakota’s role as rock legend Cherie Currie in her new biopic The Runaways.
The latest Pirates of the Caribbean casting call is keeping it real — literally.
The new “Pirates of the Caribbean movie want to be as historically accurate as possible –particularly when it comes to breasts — and that means no actresses with implants.
(Won’t that eliminate about 50% of the working actresses in Hollywood?)
Here’s part of the casting call for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides that surfaced last week: “Beautiful female fit models. Must be 5 ft 7 in. – 5 ft 8 in., size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants.”
The girls must also be able to swim.
Film industry insiders tell The Times of London that because Pirates is a period piece, producers want everything to fit its era; obviously, Dr. 90210 wasn’t around to give flat-chested women a boost back in the 19th century.
“In the last movie there were enhanced breasts to give that 18th-century whoreish look and men were pretty well padded, too, and no one worried, but times are changing and the audience can spot false breasts,” a former casting agent told the paper.
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 — starring Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz — opens in theaters next summer.
Attention Fellas: Kim Kardashian is back on the market.
It’s another split for the reality star.socialite and her on-again/off-again beau of nearly three years, New Orleans Saints star Reggie Bush.
On Tuesday, E! News spies confirmed what sources close to the pair have been whispering for weeks; the embattled stars have mutually decided to part ways and have agreed not to discuss of their latest spat in public.
“It happened shortly after the trip. It was a make-or-break vacation, and things just didn’t work.”
This isn’t the first time Romeo and Juliet have had a parting of the ways: Kim and Reggie ended their relationship in July 2009, but got back together in October.
Kardashian, 29, and Bush, 25, have been dating since 2007, but rumors of the running back’s cheating have been hot on The Gossip Wire for months. In fact, last Jan. 30 — the day Reggie and The Saints won the Super Bowl — Miami-based urban men’s mag model Carmen Ortega leaked a video of her giving a tour of Reg’s Los Angeles mansion. The Cuban vamp claims she and Reggie enjoyed a clandestine affair behind Kim’s back for months.
Reggie was reportedly making passes at a brunette at Robin Thicke’s 33rd birthday party in New York City last weekend.
On Tuesday, Summit Entertainment revealed the first promotional poster for the eagerly-anticipated third installment of the increasingly-popular Twilight film franchise.

He did it when the world became fascinated with Octomom. He did it when Jon & Kate Gosselin went from wholesome reality couple to headline-grabbing, tabloid trash. Now it’s time for alleged adulterer Jesse James and his devious mistress Bombshell McGee to get the parody treatment courtesy of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Kelly Osbourne is parlaying her troubled youth into a new gig that will help others help themselves: The former Dancing With The Stars finalist, 25, is joining the cast of The Dr. Phil Show as a “special contributor.”
“It offers a great opportunity for me to bring a youthful perspective and opinion on the issues that affect ourselves, our families and society has a whole, and I’m very honored to be a part of it,” says Kelly, who was admitted to rehab three times in six years before finally kicking her addiction to prescription substances last year.
“Kelly is an excellent addition to our show because she’s experienced a lot of what many of our younger viewers may be going through,” said Dr. Phil. “She has dealt with drug addiction as well as addictions within her family. She’s also fought the battle with obesity and the public scrutiny that often accompanies it. She is well-armed and up to the task of being our special contributor.”
Her first assignment will be to sit in on a panel discussing the rampant use of prescription drugs in Hollywood.
Kelly makes her Dr. Phil debut this Wednesday, March 23, and will then make regular appearances on the show throughout the remainder of this season.
We’re about to start seeing a whole lot more of politics’ favorite pitbull in lipstick. Discovery Communications has reportedly edged out A&E in a bidding war to snag Sarah Palin’s Alaska, a new travelogue reality show featuring the former GOP Vice Presidential candidate as an official tour guide for her home state.
(Insert Yawning Here…….)
It’s still undecided which network in the Discovery suite will air the show, which is being produced by Mark Burnett Productions, but the former Alaska governor was reportedly demanding an unprecedented $1.2 million per episode.
If Discovery is paying anywhere near that amount, Alaska will become one of the most expensive nature series ever produced.
Christina Aguilera is back with a new single called “Not Myself Tonight.”

Sources close to the discussions say Coco’s current contract with The Peacock prohibits him from making any TV appearances until May 1.
Just when you thought you couldn’t possibly find another reason to hate Ed Hardy Clothing Co., Presto! Lindsay Lohan for Ed Hardy could be on its way to a high-end retailer near you, industry spies whispered to E! Online this week. The leggings designer is in talks to craft a line of handbags with the bejeweled t-shirt manufacturer; as if Hardy’s affiliation with Jon Gosselin isn’t enough of a turn-off.
“Lindsay and the design team at Ed Hardy have mutual friends, and they knew she was interested in looking for a handbag license and partner. They thought she’d be a good fit and so did she.”
We thought the point of hiring a celebrity spokesmodel was to encourage people to purchase your product, not disinfect it. On the other hand, she’s already dirtied-up Ungaro with her designs, why not take down Ed Hardy while she’s at it?
Freida Pinto won’t be tickling Daniel Craig’s fancy as the next “Bond Girl” after all.
A spokesperson for the Slumdog Millionaire stunner has denied reports the actress has signed up to appear in the upcoming 23rd installment of the 007 franchise, set to take place in Afghanistan.
“It is of course very flattering to even be rumoured to be part of a Bond film but she has certainly NOT been approached for the role of the next Bond girl opposite Daniel Craig as yet,” Freida’s official spokeswoman Divya Tejuja said in an e-mail Tuesday.
Bond 23 — directed by Sam Mendes — will be released in 2011.
Betty White would like to take Sandra Bullock’s alleged pig of a husband over her knee.
(We bet she can take him…..)
Although the beloved Golden Girl kept her response classy when quizzed on Sandra’s recent sex scandal shame in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, PopEater’s “Naughty But Nice” Column claims Betty is fuming mad at reality star/biker builder Jesse James for betraying her dear friend, “Sandy.”
Betty doesn’t understand how Jesse could “so stupid” to cheat on his lovely wife with an STI-ridden trollop, whose sketchy past includes stripping and identifying as a Nazi sympathizer.
“Betty wants to kick Jesse James’ a–,” a source close to White tattled. “Betty is furious and just cannot understand why he would be so stupid. He had everything. A beautiful, talented wife who adored him, an amazing daughter that Sandra treats as her own, and he has thrown it all away for some floozy.”
A former teen beauty queen who appeared on the ABC reality comedy Wife Swap more than two years ago has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the network, which she accuses of ruining her life by inaccurately portraying her as a spoiled brat.
Guastaferro, 18, says she regularly suffers panic attacks and has suicidal tendencies because of her appearance on the show, which temporarily dispatches mothers to surrogate families.
The suit –filed in Manhattan on Monday — claims producers ordered Guastaferro to “act a little more spoiled” and accuses ABC and parent company Walt Disney of staging scenes to “maximize [Guastaferro’s] public embarrassment.”
The former Little Miss Buffalo said she was instructed to pretend to get a “Christmas present” and to repeat such lines like “I am the most popular girl in school” and “I do feel sorry for people that are not gorgeous people”during her appearance on the show.
According to Alicia, her poor behavior on the show made her the object of ridicule among her peers, forcing the one-time spitfire to transfer schools to escape the abuse. Guastaferro claims she has gotten death threats, been assaulted, and went from the honor roll to special ed after the show aired.
“For their own profit, defendants purposefully, intentionally and knowingly caused severe emotional and psychological harm to a fragile 15-year-old,” the suit reads.
Jesse James’ mistress has been dumped as the face of an unorthodox fashion line. Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, the apparent White supremacist who claims to have had an 11-month affair with Sandra Bullock’s hubby, has been booted from a modeling gig after photos of her in Nazi attire surfaced online last week.
McGee is no longer the face of the Angry White Girl fashion line, thanks to her Nazi fetish and adoration with Hitler.
“She told me she’d do it for free clothes, although it seems she rarely wears any,” label boss Jimmy Ferrari told The New York Post’s Page Six Column Tuesday
“While the name for my fashion line is politically incorrect, it has no links to racism or fascism or white supremacy. Nor does it endorse such nonsense. I have fired her and taken all her pictures off my website,” he added distinctly.
And you thought that the folks at Angry White Girl lacked taste!
Director Jay Roach confirmed to MTV News this week that funnyguy Myers is working on the fourth installment of the spy spoof series.
“(Mike is) working on ideas for it, people are definitely talking about it and I’m all good for it,” the lensman explained.
Roach, who helmed the first three flicks of the franchise – International Man of Mystery (1997), The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), and Goldmember (2002), added that in the next movie Austin will go “somewhere you haven’t thought of.”
The studio has chosen Chris “The Human Torch” Evans to play Captain America. The long search for an actor to play the superhero ended Monday, with the role going to a member of the Fantastic Four. What Evan’s casting means for the future of that series is anybody’s guess.
What do you think of of Chris Evans as Captain America? Are disappointed that Jon Hamm didn’t get the role?
