Quentin Tarantino is up against charges in a lawsuit filed today that claim the director “borrowed” his “Kill Bill” story lines from Dannez Hunter. Hunter filed suit claiming that he presented a short story to Miramax in 1999 and applied for a job at the company. Hunter claims he was never considered for employment because “was never given a return phone call, as numerous similar situated less qualified Jewish and White people were bestowed job after job after job.”
Hunter maintains that Taratino’s Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2, including many of the characters in the films, were based upon his creation and that Harvey Weinstein and Tarantino “ripped him off” by using the “concept/character name Ren” as well as using pivotal points of the storyline including Ren’s witness to her mother’s horrific killing.
Hunter is seeking over $1 million dollars in the lawsuit.

The Homo’s at Harper’s Bazaar must have had felt bad that they spilled a soy latte on their ascot that day, because this banner picture is an outtake from Megan Fox’s photoshoot. An outtake. This should have been on the front cover of the magazine. Or at least on a menu. Megan Fox’s ass in the air makes me want to ask the waitress for some wet naps and Vodka.

Sports fan Matt Damon was forced to wear a rival American Football team’s jersey on a US chat show after losing a bet.
The Invictus actor appeared on David Letterman’s show in a New Orleans Saints uniform after their recent Super Bowl triumph.
Damon is a New England Patriots fan but had to be a Saint for the night after losing his bet with Hurt Locker actor Anthony Mackie.
He told Letterman: “I finished a couple of months ago making a film with Anthony Mackie, an actor in The Hurt Locker. He’s a big, big Saints fan. We like to talk so we made some bets. And then the Saints won the Super Bowl.”
Damon explained Mackie would have had to appear on chat show The View in a Patriots jersey if he had won the bet.
Asked by Letterman how he felt about wearing the Saints jersey, Damon laughed: “It’s not my favourite thing to be doing.”

Sacha Baron Cohen has canned his new film about the Eurovision Song Contest.
The star of Borat and Bruno – whose Oscars presenter gig was cancelled at the 11th hour over “creative differences” relating to an Avatar-themed skit – is clearly taking a creative inventory.
The movie, which Cohen was writing with Bruno scribe Dan Mazer, was based on a desperate hopeful who enters the singing contest. Its abandonment appears a little mysterious.
A source said: “Sacha and Dan have been feverishly working on the film for a long time now. They’d completed a lot of preparatory work and had a team assisting them, but they’ve axed the idea. They felt that it wasn’t working.”
Mazer’s listing for the movie on imdb.com is likely to be as follows: “Untitled Sacha Baron Cohen Project [2011].”

Life must suck rapper Lil Wayne – he is going to be sentenced over an illegal gun possession. Funny thing is, the gun was loaded and on his tour bus and not actually in his possession. Those judges and their crazy definitions. According to the AFP:
After delays from surgery on his diamond-encrusted teeth and a courthouse fire, rapper Lil Wayne was finally due to be sentenced to prison Monday on a gun possession charge.
Wayne, 27, was expected to be handed a one-year sentence in New York criminal court as part of a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to attempted possession of a loaded semi-automatic handgun. [...]
The diminutive, heavily tattooed singer, winner of four Grammys in 2009, pleaded guilty in October to the attempted weapons charge after a .40 caliber pistol was found on his tour bus, although not actually in his possession.
In 2009, Lil Wayne won 4 Grammys… not bad for a “criminal.” Personally I think that people are being hyper-sensitive. He is a black rapper with tattoos literally covering his entire body and people were SURPRISED that he had a loaded gun on his tour bus? It’s not like he actually open fired on some Crips during the road tour. He was just preparing for said massacre.

Lindsay Lohan, either in a desperate cry for attention or perhaps a misguided attempt to keep her name clean, is suing E Trade. And yes, this is going to be ridiculous as it sounds.
The Superbowl commercial with the baby love triangle includes a toddler named Lindsay who is a “milkaholic.” When you’re as self-involved as Lindsay Lohan, of course that can be interpreted as being the baby version of Lindsay. According to TMZ: [click to continue…]

Pre-Tiger Woods blow up, David Letterman was facing quite a scandal himself. … by being the most awesome man EVER. He reportedly banged most of the women on his show on CBS. And let me just get this out in the open – he is a 100% creeper and looks like he should be working the night shift at Taco Bell. He is a gap-toothed, balding, skinny geek of a man that makes Conan O’Brien look like some kind of sex-monster.

The day after Michael Blosil’s funeral, Donny and Marie were back in Las Vegas at the Flamingo casino. They put on their show, stopping once to put on a sad face and hug inappropriately close for being in the same family.
It’s understandable that grief shouldn’t take over anyone’s life… but it’s surprising that Marie was so quick to be shaking her tush for the crowd in Vegas.
So here is to the Osmonds – true performers and businesspeople. They know when to shirk the grief of losing an 18 year old boy to suicide… when there is money to be made!

Corey Haim, most famous in the 80s when he was in The Lost Boys along with Keifer Sutherland and Corey Feldman, died this morning of an overdose. According to TMZ:
Actor Corey Haim died this morning of an apparent overdose — possibly accidental — according to LAPD. He was 38.
Police tell us they were called to St. Joseph’s hospital in Burbank, CA shortly before 4AM PT to investigate.
Haim was one of those celebrities who truly couldn’t handle the fame and the drugs that came along with it. He was in and out of rehab almost 15 different times.
I think this confirms that Corey Haim is indeed not a vampire, being definitely dead and everything. But hey let’s lighten this up with a fun fact! Rick James died in the same apartment complex in 2004. Fun!
