Can We Stop Giving Carrie Prejean Airtime?


Even conservatives that want to get behind Carrie Prejean for her one time stand at the Miss USA Pageant have had enough of Carrie Prejean's antics and attempts to create celebrity for herself.

Here is some quick background. She's making the rounds on TV talk shows in response to her news worthy event surrounding her cross civil suit with the Miss USA Pageant. Just this past week TMZ helped put the kibosh on her hopes to sue the pageant after an old ex-boyfriend of hers gave TMZ some cell phone video of Carrie when she was 18. In it she was trying to please the ex-boyfriend by performing a 'solo' sex act. That video was shown to her mother and legal counsel at a meeting between all parties. The result, shock and dismay on her part and she decided then and there to settle the case.

All of that made news. You'd think if she was so shocked and upset she'd lay low. Instead Carrie has quickly booked herself for discussion. On Wednesday night she was on Larry King whom is about the most lame interviewer on the planet. He couldn't ask a tough question if his life depended on it. He skirted the issue of her touching herself and only asked what motivated her to settle. She then seemed to put on some bad acting and smugly told him repeatedly that he was being 'inappropriate'. The manner in which she delivered her defense seemed canned, as if she was waiting to say those words. It was all very phony on her part. Carrie spent time looking off camera to her handlers asking if it was time for her to walk off camera. She announced to Larry, "I'm about to walk off your show." Larry in turn explained he followed her instructions, changed the subject and left her plenty of room to save face. Instead she continued to tell him he was 'inappropriate'. It was unbearable to watch.

Ultimately she did stay on the show, but her antics really spell out what she is all about. At one time she had substance and reason for making a stand. While Perez Hilton may be out of line for calling her names simply because he wants to attack her, she's not helping her cause at all now by acting out on TV. Here is the video below. Decide for yourself as she idiotically holds up her book as if she is begging people to buy it.

Mike Tyson in Citizens Arrest


Mike Tyson was arrested Wednesday while with his family. It all took place around 4:30 pm at a United Airline counter at LAX in California. Tyson and family were on a return flight from a European holiday.

Once again a photographer created the incident and upon provoking the ex-boxing champ in front of his family, 43 year old Tyson decked him. Some reports state Tyson may have been pushed or shoved. As a result the Paparazzo was leveled and took a bad gash to the head. He got up and walked away bleeding profusely. Many witnessed the scene and with both the photographer and Tyson sensing they needed to play the next card fast - they both made cross citizens arrests (alleging battery) on each other.

Sadly only Tyson was celebrated on camera as he was taken away from LAX in handcuffs.

The looming question is how much can a celebrity take in a provocation before taking action when they feel they are threatened or in this case a celebrity with family.

Tyson may be a hot head by nature, and given factor, you'd think a photographer that snaps photos of celebrities against their will would take that into consideration. The result was warranted by many accounts on the scene. Tyson claimed after losing his 4 year old daughter Exodus just months ago, he felt threatened to a point of needing to protect his 10 month old. The photographer in return claimed Tyson was trying to take his camera. If that's true, he had plenty of opportunity after taking down the photographer but did not.

Tyson was taken to a holding cell at the airport and was cooperative with authorities. The paparazzi was taken to a local hospital to treat the laceration to his forehead which he sustained when he fell after being struck by Tyson. After release he was then booked, but his name is still not been publicized.

When officers arrived at LAX, Tyson was taken in handcuffs to a local LAPD station. His bail was set at $20,000. Tyson's attorney Richard Schonfeld has already issued a statement: "Mr. Tyson did absolutely nothing wrong, he was a victim in this case. We look forward to vindicating him and pursuing his rights."

LAX seems to be a haven for paparazzi to exploit celebrities as Kanye West was in a similar incident last year and only recently had been cleared of those charges.

Tyson is on parole for a narcotics possession charge (and DUI) in Arizona and it is yet to be determined if this airport incident will result in a violation of his parole.

Celine Dion No Longer Pregnant


Canadian songstress Celine Dion has reportedly had a miscarriage. She and her husband Rene Angelil made an announcement in August stating that they were expecting their second child together from a successful cycle of in vitro fertilization, or IVF. They used a fertilized egg that had been frozen for eight years, harvested in 2001 when she was using IVF to conceive her first child, son Rene-Charles, now 8. She and her husband started trying for another baby in 2007 after she completed her residency in Las Vegas. However, the second pregnancy allegedly did not take, and friends of the singer have said, "While she and Rene are actively trying for a baby, she is not currently expecting."

Rob and Kristen a Couple: The Proof?

The "are they, aren't they" debate over the relationship status between Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart has been met with vehement denial from both parties, but they just added fuel to the fire with this photo snapped of them holding hands after getting off a plane in London. Just friends, or more than friends? We don't want to break anyone's heart, so we'll let you interpret for yourself.
