Chris Pine: Crotch Grab!

Chris Pine grabs his crotch to measure the inseam while trying on jeans at the Ralph Lauren RRL store in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve (Thursday, December 24).

Pictures were first posted yesterday but these new pics popped up, so enjoy! (Chris shopped at the same store back in August as well.)

While trying on jeans at the converted auto repair shop, the 29-year-old Star Trek actor was also seen lifting up his shirt and showing off a bit of his tummy.

Chris also flipped through the “Porsche Icons” book.

The duo were in quite the playful moods, with the “Why Georgia?” singer carrying the British deejay through the parking lot while paparazzi snapped up shots.

Meanwhile, both John and Samantha have since sent out their holiday blessings via Twitter, with John writing, “Sending a heartfelt Merry Christmas to those who feel loneliness this time of year. You’re not alone. Hang in there.”

Meanwhile, Miss Ronson tells, “Hope everyone had a nice day today. I know i did! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night xo

"Jersey Shore" was filmed in Seaside Hts, NJ. Since my family was celebrating Christmas at my Aunt's home in Seaside Park, (the "North Side" equivalent to Seaside Hts "South Side" quality), I took the liberty to take some photos of the Jersey Shore house.

Since people may think this isn't an exciting post, I thought I'd post the most interesting picture in front of the cut: the graffiti the lovely locals have tagged the symbolistic Italian flag NJ outline with!

Larger picture of the graffiti

The house itself

The infamous staircase all the skanks did the walk of shame down

What's funny is I pulled over to a small parking lot near the house because I wanted to see if the hot tub area was there, (where those poles are sticking up) and they definitely ripped up the astroturf and everything else is gone as well. You can tell where they had production lighting and such, too. Most definitely a "set"...

And lastly... KARMA! Where Snooks got punched! It's attached to this Italian restaurant and last year I kept wondering if it was a restaurant or club or.. how that worked out. I know Paris Hilton made an appearance there last summer, so maybe she'll show up on an episode!

ps I REAALLYY wanted to investigate further and walk around the property more, but I was afraid that meth-faced "landlord/boss" was living next door or in the basement or something and he looked tall and scrappy. (I'm 5'2")

The 10 Worst Films of 2009

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 02:34:19 GMT

To land on this 10 Worst List, a movie has to be more than merely disappointing. No, it must be walk-out bad, except that my job as a film critic is to sit there and watch it anyway, and simply be subjected to the torture. Sometimes, a film turns out to be so awful that it's actually funny, but that doesn't count as a miserable enough experience to warrant inclusion here. No, these flicks are the ones with no redeeming qualities which left me savoring this opportunity to get even.

1. Dough Boys

Produced by BET, this ghetto-fabulous saga glorifies the sort of misogyny, materialism and black-on-black crime popularized by the network in gangsta music videos. The film marks the disgraceful directorial debut of Nicholas Harvell, who was undoubtedly aiming for the lowest common denominator by filling his inner-city splatter flick with so much gratuitous sex, violence and substance abuse, and so many expletives, ethnic slurs and scantily-clad women.

While this crude approach undoubtedly will earn the newcomer a certain street cred, if you know what I mean, most folks are apt to find the film relentlessly offensive. To give you an idea of what we're dealing with, at the picture's point of departure, the hero explains his dating philosophy with, "If you want a girl to know that you love her, [beep] her in the [beep] and [beep] on her" because "you have to make her your slut." Charming.

A 21st Century version of Amos 'n Andy which must have been financed by the Klan.

2. Year One

This sleazy caveman comedy is unfunny from beginning to end, starting with the moment when Jack Black's character informs us that he's slept with his own mother. But such behavior is ostensibly okay since he's a Neanderthal, and so is his sidekick (Michael Cera), whose M.O. involves conking a woman on the head with a club to have his way with her.

What ensues is a cinematically-tragic mix of slapstick and bodily function fare, a horrifying insult to the intelligence, given all the big names connected to the project, including Bill Hader, Horatio Sanz, Hank Azaria, Vinnie Jones, Oliver Platt and that kid who played McLovin' in Superbad.

Might not be Jack Black's best film, but it's definitely his worst.

3. Observe and Report

Seth Rogen stars in this raunchy teensploit, a relentlessly-dark and disturbing celebration of depravity unlikely to resonate with any decent demographic. Director Jody Hill ostensibly decided to up the ante in terms of the shock genre's profane, prurient and politically-incorrect index.

'The subject-matter mined for laughs here includes drug addiction, date rape, stun gun tasering, stalking, bullying, stealing, sexual assault, abusive relationships, ethnic, gender and sexual preference slurs, and prolonged, full-frontal nudity. And despite pushing the envelope, the film breaks a cardinal rule of comedy by failing to be funny.

Most of the offensive antics involve the head of security (Rogen) at the Forest Ridge Mall where a lowlight includes an exchange between the foul-mouthed protagonist and a suspected terrorist named Saddamn Hussein (Aziz Ansari) during which they take turns yelling "[Expletive] you!" back and forth at each other dozens of times. But the movie's most offensive moment has to be the chase scene featuring lingering, slow-motion shots of a flasher's family jewels in all their glory.

I suppose this movie could've been worse. I'm just not sure how.

4. Da' Booty Shop

It looks like we might be witnessing the emergence of "The King of the Bad Black Movies" in Marcello Thedford, a prolific producer/director/scriptwriter/actor with a trio of godawful contributions this year. (See below) This cheesy, insult to the intelligence revolves around a stripper (Trina McGee) who reluctantly decides to hang up her g-string and pasties to run her brother's (Thedford) beauty salon because he's headed to prison.

What makes this movie so wrong how she complains about making less money as a hair stylist than sponging strangers of doing lap dances at $20 per pop.

The picture's pathetic excuse for dialogue, such as("Do you know how much business that booty brought in here? I am so proud of you," was obviously improvised on the spot. And I noticed the phrase "up in here" being employed over 15 times before I decided to stop counting. Also popular with the verbally-challenged cast were the N, S, B and F-words.

But what's most objectionable is Thedford's seizing on any excuse to put scantily-clad women on display, whether they're wriggling around a stripper's pole, at the car wash (Don't get wet!) or staging an impromptu fashion show in the ghetto. Heaven help us.

5. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

In 1994, the popular computer game Street Fighter was adapted to the big screen as an incoherent concatenation of poorly-choreographed, martial arts action starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Since the original bombed at the box office, one must wonder what might have prompted a studio to greenlight a sequel 15 years later, especially when the results turn out to be equally-abysmal. This unmitigated mess is a revenge-fueled affair featuring a series of clumsily-orchestrated fight scenes and sloppily-executed stunts.

As the butt-kicking heroine (Kristin Kreuk) sets about exacting a measure of vengeance, the epic battle of good versus evil is totally undermined by corny special effects and laughable trick photography. And to top it all off, this lame martial arts adventure even has the nerve to end on a cliffhanger, as if to set the stage for yet another sequel.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, not a chance.

6. Thug Love

Destiny Charles (Millenia Gay) finds herself single for the first time in years after being unceremoniously dumped by her husband for a younger woman. Although the forty-something advertising executive is busy climbing the corporate ladder, she suddenly shifts her focus shifts from career to romance the day she accidentally crosses paths with Troy (Rich Paul), a handsome hunk half her age who introduces himself as a photographer.

Written and directed by the aforementioned Marcello Thedford, this no-budget soap opera is rather rough around the edges. The film suffers from second-rate lighting and sound equipment and from lots of love scenes where neither party appears particularly happy to be in bed together. Throw in all the profanity, a dumb blonde, dumber Asians, and a dubious denouement, and there isn't really anything to recommend about this mediocre mess.

7. Miss March

This ill-conceived teensploit focus on the plight of Eugene (Zach Cregger) a nerdy high school senior who falls down a flight of stairs and ends up in a coma. Much has changed by the time he comes around four years later to find his high school sweetheart (Raquel Alessi) naked in the current issue of Playboy Magazine.

Furthermore, Eugene learns that she's no longer a virgin from a former classmate-turned-gangsta' rapper who goes by the monicker Horsedick MPEG (Craig Robinson). The foulmouthed MPEG has catchy hit songs at the top of the charts with titles like "I'm going to [f-word] a white bitch" and "Suck my [d-word] while I [f-word] that [a-word]. One of the most reprehensible African-American characters in the history of cinema, he actually celebrates that fans were killed at his CD release party.

Even more disgusting is the scene where, upon learning that Eugene is still a virgin, he orders a sister (Tanjareen Martin) in his entourage to "Get in here and have sex with this dude." Sadly, the attractive young woman obliges, only to die when an act of God intervenes. A relentlessly-offensive celebration of the debasement of females and the stereotyping of blacks as utterly depraved.

I'm done.

8. Jennifer's Body

Diablo Cody succumbs to the proverbial sophomore jinx with this ill-advised attempt to imbue another title character with the identical, flip attitude as her previous one, Juno. Jennifer (Megan Fox) is a boy-crazy coed who loves to leverage her looks by making guys salivate over her while calling her competition crude nicknames like "Vagisil" and "Monistat" right to their faces.

But in this gratuitous splatter flick, Jennifer dies and is reincarnated as a man-eating cannibal. She spends the balance of the movie making major mayhem in the way of projectile-vomiting black bile and luring unsuspecting suitors into the woods in order to devour them alive. The film's fatal flaw is that there's not much of an arc to Jennifer's character, for she remains as unlikable after becoming a zombie as she was before.

Megan Fox needs to set her sights a little higher now that she has some clout in Hollywood.

9. Keepin' the Faith: My Baby's Getting Married

Just because a sitcom is faith-based, doesn't necessarily make it family-oriented fare. Case in point, this blackface version of Meet the Parents. With a plot that will surprise no one familiar with that Robert De Niro-Ben Stiller hit comedy, this flick also revolves around an awkward guy trying to win the approval of the father of the woman he wants to wed.

Consequently, all the scenes feel vaguely familiar as though lifted from the original. If keeping the faith includes keeping the Ten Commandments, especially the one about "Thou shalt not steal," then director Marcello Thedford is going to have to answer to a higher authority for this blatant, blasphemous and ineptly-executed rip-off.

Repent!

10. Steppin'

This dance-driven drama is set on the campus of a historically-black college in Houston where apparently some of the shallowest human beings on the planet have matriculated. For instance, there's Vicki (Monicka Allegeier), a student who gets ready to party by putting on what she refers to as her "get your freak on panties" in order to seduce Bryan (Chico Benymon), the funky frat boy of her dreams.

I'm not going to bother to relate the rest of the plot which reads like a derivative rip-off of Stomp the Yard. Suffice to say that the black fraternities and sororities are more concerned with winning the $25,000 in prizes to be awarded at a Greek Show Step Competition than with their studies. While waiting with baited breath for the big showdown, we're treated to a lowbrow brand of humor which runs the gamut from bodily function jokes to mean-spirited teasing coming at the expense of easy marks like a flamboyant transvestite and a deaf dude whose hearing aid is hidden from him for laughs. How tasteless!

A spiritually-debilitating descent into depravity.

CREEPY POST IX

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 02:34:01 GMT

I confess I've written more than my fair share of posts complaining about the never-ending march of paranormal, ghost busting shows haunting TV these days. You know the shows I refer to -- the "documentaries" promising to prove the existence of ghosts without ever finding anything resembling actual proof.

Every time I've written something bemoaning the arrival of another such show, I think it has to be over soon. There can't be another hour of clods stumbling around in night vision and reacting to sights and sounds the audience doesn't get to experience.

But, they keep coming. They keep finding nothing. But, evidently, people keep watching them. Now, we have Ghost Intervention -- running through December. The 4-part docu-series from TLC "chronicles a case manager and a team of women with psychic abilities as they try to help different families who are struggling with paranormal activity in their homes."

I guess that makes it "The Exorcist meets The View" -- only The View is infinitely more horrifying than any case of haunting or demonic possession. However you describe it, we're looking at hours of women without proven psychic powers exercising unproven science to deal with unproven phenomena. It's a wonder PBS didn't pick this up for Firing Line.

We're left with one big question. It seems unavoidable that there will be more of these ghost-hunting shows. But, what's left to cover with so many on the air? What gimmick will they turn to next?

Alcohol a Factor ... But Not for Charlie Sheen

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 01:49:36 GMT

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Brooke Mueller was legally drunk when she called 911 on Charlie Sheen ... and, we've learned, Brooke has fessed up that her allegation was phony.

Sources say authorities gave both Charlie and Brooke blood alcohol tests. Brooke registered a .13 while Charlie registered a .04. By the way, the 911 call came in at 8:34 AM on Christmas day.

We're also told Brooke recanted her story to a female officer just before the bail hearing, telling the cop she was drunk when she made the 911 call. Nevertheless, law enforcement sources say police will still pursue the case -- at least for now.

We've also learned Sheen has hired well-known Colorado attorney Richard Cummins to represent him.

Cops responded to the 911 call, arrived at the home and Sheen was arrested after Brooke claimed he assaulted her. Charlie was booked for two felonies and one misdemeanor relating to domestic violence.

As we first reported, Sheen told law enforcement Brooke was the aggressor and he was just trying to defend himself.

Charlie's next court date is set for February 8.

Charlie Sheen and Wife To Undergo Counseling

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 01:38:06 GMT

Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke Mueller are planning to undergo counseling after a heated fight at a dinner party in Aspen, Colo., that landed Charlie in jail on domestic violence charges Friday morning.

"They were fighting at a dinner in a friend’s house and it continued until the next morning," a source close to Mueller tells PEOPLE. "Both of them were drinking and neither was supposed to be. They both have histories of alcohol abuse and have made every effort to stop. But things got out of hand."

Sheen, 44, was booked at 11:20 a.m. for second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief, according to a spokesperson for the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Department in Aspen, Colo. The actor posted an $8,500 bond Friday night and was released from jail at 7 p.m. He is due in court on Feb. 8, 2010 at 10:30 a.m.

"Charlie went right back to Los Angeles after he was released from jail," the source tells PEOPLE. "Both he and Brooke will undergo counseling and Charlie will get anger management counseling."

Despite reports, the couple had not been separated in the weeks leading up to the Christmas morning 911 call at the house they were renting with their twin boys, Bob and Max, 9 months.

"Brooke and Charlie have never been separated," the source tells PEOPLE. "And the boys are fine – so precious. They knew nothing about a fight between their parents."

The actor's Colorado-based attorney Richard Cummins tells PEOPLE, "They have two children together and they love one another and they’re going to work through what is a difficult time and they’re going to do that together and as privately as possible."

Sheen's rep, Stan Rosenfield, had no further comment.

Mueller, 32, plans to stay at her rented house in Aspen, and there is no talk of divorce at this time.

"Brooke loves to snowboard and wants to be in Aspen now," the source tells PEOPLE. "After this unfortunate event, they need to be apart for awhile."

Looks like Tony and Eva Longoria Parker and are ditching wintry days for "Summer Nights!"

With shiny wigs and cheeky choreography, the Desperate Housewives star and the San Antonio Spur channel Grease's Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson in a new video spoof posted on the NBA player's Web site.

"It's Eva's favorite film," Parker says in video, also posted on his Web site, of the 1978 musical starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

But fandom isn't the only reason the two decided to tackle the iconic song and dance. In the video, the basketball star explains that he and his wife have a challenge for their fans. "I've decided to play a game with you," he says, inviting viewers to submit similar parody videos of musical comedies – in full costume. Says Parker: "Now it's your turn."

Longoria Parker and her hubby will watch the entries – which are due on Jan. 31 – and pick a winner whom they'll fly to San Antonio, Texas, to catch Parker in action with the Spurs.

Michael Vick "I've overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear."

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 01:26:08 GMT

PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Vick's peers appreciate his tough journey back to the NFL.

Vick won the Ed Block Courage Award, voted on by his teammates on the Philadelphia Eagles, after the once-disgraced star quarterback returned to the league after spending 18 months in a federal prison for his role in a dogfighting ring.

"It means a great deal to me," Vick said Wednesday. "I was voted unanimously by my teammates. They know what I've been through. I've been through a lot. It's been great to come back and have an opportunity to play and be with a great group of guys. I'm just ecstatic about that and I enjoy every day."

A three-time Pro Bowl pick in six seasons with Atlanta, Vick has played sparingly with the Eagles after signing a $1.6 million contract during the preseason, with a team option for next year worth $5.2 million.

Vick was granted full reinstatement to the league on Sept. 3 by commissioner Roger Goodell, who allowed him to return to the field in Week 3. Vick has two touchdowns rushing and one passing in 12 games.

The Ed Block Award honors players who exemplify commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. Each of the 32 NFL teams selects a recipient.

"I've overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear," Vick said. "You ask certain people to walk through my shoes, they probably couldn't do. Probably 95 percent of the people in this world because nobody had to endure what I've been through, situations I've been put in, situations I put myself in and decisions I have made, whether they have been good or bad.

"There's always consequences behind certain things and repercussions behind them, too. And then you have to wake up every day and face the world, whether they perceive you in the right perspective, it's a totally different outlook on you. You have to be strong, believe in yourself, be optimistic. That's what I've been able to do. That's what I display."

The Eagles were criticized by animal rights activists for signing Vick less than a month after he was released from prison. Dozens of protesters voiced their outrage outside the team's practice facility the day after Vick was signed, and many fans threatened to give up their tickets.

But Vick got a warm reception in his first game with the Eagles and by most accounts has been a model citizen off the field.

The animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, issued a statement reprimanding the Eagles for giving Vick the award.

"The Philadelphia Eagles fumbled when they gave Michael Vick the Ed Block Courage Award, which was named after a man who advocated in behalf of abused children," the PETA statement read. "Michael Vick should not be the person anyone points to as a model of sportsmanship, even though he has now exchanged dogs for touchdowns after serving time for extreme cruelty to animals. We wish him well in educating others, but this is not appropriate and does not mark a joyous moment in NFL history."

Vick has spent time working with the Humane Society of the United States, speaking to school and community groups about the mistakes he made in getting involved in dogfighting.

"It was a big obstacle proving I'm worthy of a second chance," Vick said. "It doesn't stop here. I have to continue to prove that. I think it's not going to be a day-to-day process, it's going to be a year-in, year-out process. It's a challenge to myself. The thing I told Roger is that four or five years from now, I'm going to come to him and say, 'Everything I told you I was going to do, I'm still doing it.' And that's what I pride myself on and that's my focus and that's my goal."

Quarterback Donovan McNabb called the award "well-deserved."

"Congratulations to him for straightening his life around and bettering himself as a human being," coach Andy Reid said. "He's obviously very well-respected by his teammates."

ONTD called out on Gossip Cop

The aptly named site, OhNoTheyDidnt – actually did!

Today, the blog published as FACT an old April Fool’s Day JOKE that Robert Pattinson was replacing Tobey Maguire in “Spider-Man.”

[Catch your breath from laughter]

According to OhNoTheyDidnt, “The news dropped like a bombshell early this morning that Sony Pictures has signed Robert Pattinson (Twilight) to replace Tobey Maguire in the titular role in Spider-Man 4.”

Wait, it gets more ridiculous.

The site wrote, “In the official press release, [the Sony chairman] announced that Pattinson would not only be assuming the role of Peter Parker and his alter-ego, Spider-Man, in Spider-Man 4, but also in Spider-Man 5 and in a spin-off film to be announced at a later date.”

And OhNoTheyDidnt even “quoted” the film series’ director Sam Raimi as saying, “Decisions like these are always difficult. I know the fans liked Tobey — and I greatly enjoyed working with him – but Robert is the future of the franchise.”

Oh no!!!

Trust us, the site wasn’t joking. Those clowns even Tweeted out the story.

Gossip Cop would like to wish OhNoTheyDidnt a belated Merry Christmas and an even more belated April Fools!

Renée Spends Christmas with Bradley's Parents

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:26:04 GMT

Guess things are getting serious!

Renée Zellweger spent Christmas this year with boyfriend Bradley Cooper – and his parents, Gloria and Charlie.

The four celebrated the holiday in Los Angeles, and Zellweger was spotted bonding all week with Cooper's parents. On Dec. 21, the actress took them on a stroll in Venice, Calif. And on Christmas Eve, Zellweger and Cooper's mom, Gloria, went shopping together. "Renée seems to get along really well with Bradley's parents, " an eyewitness tells PEOPLE. "They were laughing and seemed to have a great time strolling around Venice."

On Dec. 24, Zellweger stopped by Bay Cities Italian Deli in Santa Monica, Calif., where she picked out several Italian delicacies. "Bradley's mom is Italian-American and it was obvious that Renée was making an effort to impress Bradley's mom with Christmas dishes," the eyewitness says, adding that the actress asked for help to make sure she picked out something authentic. Says the onlooker: "Renée was in a great mood and seemed very happy."

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif crushes on RPattz

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:25:51 GMT

Actress has a huge crush on Robert Pattinson and desperately hopes to meet him during family holiday in London this week.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has swept Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif completely off her feet. And, if all goes well, she'll be meeting Pattinson this week during her annual family holiday in London.

Katrina says she got hooked to the Twilight quartet hottie the moment she saw the film. "I went and bought all the four Twilight books Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

I can't put them down. I've been racing through the adventures of the hottest vampire, Edward Cullen, for the last one week.

I finished reading three books in less than four days. Now I'm into the fourth and I just can't get enough," she says.

Katrina now wants to meet Edward Cullen. "You don't understand. This is like an obsession for me. I can't get Robert Pattinson out of my head.

I see the love of my life in every object. I've never felt this way about any man before," she says. (wat)

A meeting between the two is discreetly being arranged. Though Katrina is not talking about it, her representatives are in touch with Robert Pattinson's agent.

Kat is in London for Christmas and is hoping to meet Pattinson this week.

"Obviously, I can't stand under his window to get his attention. So yes, the meeting has to be more formal. He says he's single, but I don't believe him. That's what they all say," says the besotted actress.

Desi Twilight?

Katrina is very keen to play Isabella Swan, Pattinson's love interest in the vampire chronicles, and is trying to convince one of her favourite directors to do a desi Twilight film.

Emily Blunt gets nervous, needs me to comfort her

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:25:40 GMT

Emily Blunt panics before red carpet appearances

Devil Wears Prada' actress Emily Blunt has admitted that she gets cold feet every time she steps on the red carpet.

And the actress says she's getting worried about the impending awards season as it means being judged for what she is wearing and she does not want to make a fashion faux pas, Female First online reported.

"I always get that panic when I step out of the car that everyone is going to hate it. I've had zippers that have broken too. Once when I was about to go on 'The Ellen Degeneres Show', my sister looked at the back of my legs and went 'Ohmygod!' I had a huge ladder up the back of my leg and the women on the show had to run around like chickens without their heads on to find me some new stockings," Blunt said.

Blunt recently revealed that her body was left numb from filming her upcoming movie 'The Young Victoria'.

The actress, who plays the former British monarch Queen Victoria in the period film, said the corsets she wore were so restrictive she couldn't feel her body during shooting.

"I learned how to survive when they lace you tight. It takes getting used to. You must inhale so your rib cage expands. This way, after you're all done up you can have room to breathe," Blunt said. "After a day's shooting, I'd instantly put on sweat pants. I needed something comfy. I needed to feel my inner organs working again!," she added.

I just saw Young Victoria. It was okay, kind of sappy and predictable. Mostly just worth it to look at Emily for two hours, unff.

New York Times Interviews Ke$ha - A New (and Unexpected) Face in Rap

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:25:29 GMT

“TIK TOK,” a zippy and salacious celebration of late nights and mornings-after by a new artist named Ke$ha, has spent the last few weeks zooming toward the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Along with “Rapture,” the 1981 hit by Blondie, it’s one of the most successful white-girl rap songs of all time. Actually, that depends on who you ask.

“TiK ToK” is sung in the chorus and rapped in the verses, enhanced by Auto-Tune in a few places, in keeping with its electro-pop production. There are even a couple of ad-libs by Diddy, and a line that appears to be borrowed from Jermaine Dupri.

“I’ve done the country, done the pop-rock, done the super-hard electro,” Ke$ha (pronounced KESH-uh) said this month, taking a breather in a Midtown Manhattan hotel between performances for the pop radio station Z100. “I was like, whatever, throw some rap in there, why not?” Slouched deep in a cushioned chair, she was dressed like a hippie pirate, with matted dirty blond hair and black makeup streaming from her right eye in precise darts.

It would be tough to surmise from looking at Ke$ha — 22 and rangy, with a model’s figure and a Sunset Strip attitude — but “TiK ToK” is something of a milestone in contemporary pop: the complete and painless assimilation of the white female rapper into pop music.

If she’s rapping at all, that is. “I never thought of her as rapping,” said Barry Weiss, chairman and chief executive of RCA/Jive Label Group, who signed Ke$ha. “I just thought of it as her particular vocal phrasing on certain songs.”

A burgeoning pop star who is primarily a singer, Ke$ha is nevertheless a pioneer. “TiK ToK” and the handful of other rap-influenced songs on her debut album, “Animal” (Kemosabe/RCA), to be released Jan. 5, are the product of a world in which hip-hop is such lingua franca, so embedded in the pop slipstream that it’s possible to make songs that are primarily rapped but are not widely considered to be rap songs.

It’s all part of the continuing deracination of the act of rapping, which used to be inscribed as a specifically black act, but which has been appropriated so frequently and with such ease that it’s been, in some cases, re-racinated. The very existence of the casually rapping white girl reflects decreasingly stringent ideas about race and gender.

This has happened before. In the same way that, at the turn of the last decade, rap-metal provided a space for white men to rap without being explicitly compared to their black peers, club-oriented electro-rap has, in recent years, become a haven for white women.

At least for a couple of them.

This has been a banner year for white-girl rap, as these things go. There was the debut album by the Philadelphia rapper Amanda Blank, the relentless and suffocating “I Love You” (Downtown). On “Boom Boom Pow,” the pummeling Black Eyed Peas hit, the surprise twist was a rapped interlude by the group’s singer, Fergie. Even the country-pop singer Jessie James tried it out on “Blue Jeans,” a song that practically owes a publishing check to Dem Franchize Boyz for appropriating the cadence and concept of their 2004 song “White Tee.”

The white female rapper has been one of the last frontiers in hip-hop, but Ke$ha is reframing the conversation. “Her talky, blonde-y, white-girl rap thing, there’s no one else doing that right now,” said the producer and songwriter Lukasz Gottwald, a k a Dr. Luke, who signed Ke$ha to his imprint and executive produced “Animal.”

“White rappers who try to sound black,” he continued, are “so uninteresting, so unimaginative.” Citing examples of white men who’ve worked a different path — the Beastie Boys, Beck, the raplike moments of Weezer — Dr. Luke said there was room for Ke$ha to try the same thing: “Being that she was willing to do that, and she liked it, I’m in support of it. A whole record of that might get annoying though.”

Few others have even bothered to try. Debbie Harry of Blondie excepted, the most notable white female rapper has been Tairrie B, who was signed to Ruthless Records, the label headed by Eazy-E of N.W.A. Her 1990 debut album, “Power of a Woman,” made a brief splash, but she gave herself over to heavy metal soon after, and her tough-talking attitude made for a template with few followers, Ke$ha very much not among them. “I’m not thuggy,” Ke$ha said. “I’m trying to go for the lost-member-of-Whitesnake vibe.”

Since then the white-girl rap legacy has been thin and not particularly proud: fizzled major-label curios (Icy Blu, Sarai, Lanz), indie-rap and hipster-rap curios (Uffie, Princess Superstar, the stunningly good Invincible), foreigner curios (Lady Sovereign, Macromantics, Yelle, Peaches), VH1 reality show curios (from “ego trip’s The White Rapper Show” and “ego trip’s Miss Rap Supreme”). There was the great Northern State plague of 2002, in which three Long Island women briefly and inexplicably became critical darlings, and the following year, the virtually self-parodic rap verse on Madonna’s “American Life.”

And that’s pretty much it. Even if Ke$ha were looking for influences, there are barely any to choose from.

Ke$ha, whose real name is Kesha Rose Sebert, was raised in Nashville by her mother, Pebe, a singer-songwriter with a handful of credits, including “Old Flames (Can’t Hold a Candle to You)” — written with Hugh Moffatt, then her husband — which Dolly Parton took to the top of the Billboard country singles chart in 1980.

After a call from Dr. Luke, who’d heard her demo, Ke$ha moved to Los Angeles to begin working on music. (The initial call came while the Sebert family was hosting Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie during a taping of the reality show “The Simple Life.” Ms. Richie answered, and hung up.)

After an extended period of songwriting and partying, Ke$ha caught a break, singing the hook on the Flo Rida single “Right Round.” But although the song was a No. 1 pop single in the United States and elsewhere, Ke$ha wasn’t credited on the song domestically, received no payment for her work and did not appear in the video.

“You have to be patient, you have to do things right,” she said of declining to be in the video. “If you want to be a legitimate artist, it’s more important what you say no to. I knew he would want me to be some sexpot, shake my booty and whatever.”

Ke$ha was signed to RCA soon after “Right Round,” on the strength of her singing. “When we signed her, the rap thing never entered our minds,” Mr. Weiss said. But it wasn’t far from Ke$ha’s: two songs on “Animal” that she’d mostly completed before her contract, “Backstabber” and “Boots & Boys,” show her trying out the style, which she picked up again while recording new material.

“I love the Beastie Boys — that’s probably why ‘TiK ToK’ happened,” Ke$ha said. “Rap in general has never been my steez, but I like it.”

In the studio with Dr. Luke and the producer Benny Blanco, it took only three takes to get right. “I was kind of jokingly white-girl rapping over it, and they thought it was sick,” she said. Similar sessions led to the sinuous, fevered “Slow Motion” — a version of the Juvenile song of the same name — with the Oscar-winning Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia. It didn’t make the album, maybe because it could pass for actual hip-hop: Ke$ha at her rapping best, surrounded by rappers.

And however Ke$ha might be positioned, it won’t be as a rapper. “I don’t think they put that word on her at all,” said Richard Palmese, executive vice president of pop/rock promotions for the RCA Music Group. “She’s a pop singer with a lot of edge.”

While the song has been a success on rhythmic pop radio, a format that favors dance-oriented hip-hop and R&B alongside uptempo pop, it wasn’t promoted to urban radio stations, or to BET. Cat Thomas, program director of KLUC-FM in Las Vegas, a rhythmic pop station that was an early adopter of “TiK ToK,” said the song is “more about the feel and the lyrics than the delivery.” In other words, its popness trumps its rapness.

Some have compared Ke$ha, unfavorably, to Uffie, who is signed to the influential French electronic music label Ed Banger and whose sass-rap predated Ke$ha’s by a couple of years. “I understand why people need to make that association,” Ke$ha said, “but it’s not like, ‘Yeah, let me just listen to Uffie and rip that off.’ ” At one point Dr. Luke held discussions with Uffie’s camp about producing her debut album, he said, though it never panned out. (Perhaps sensing the moment, though, Uffie recently announced that her debut album will be released this spring.)

If anyone should feel fleeced by “TiK ToK,” though, it’s Lady Gaga, who probably hears significant chunks of her hit “Just Dance” in its melody and subject matter.

But Lady Gaga doesn’t rap (at least not yet), leaving Ke$ha unchallenged as a double threat, even if her singing, which gets more than equal time on “Animal,” is still something of a secret.

“I can sing,” Ke$ha said, “and you don’t know that yet.”

There are a pair of video clips on YouTube of Ke$ha performing country-rock songs, impressively, with her brother, Lagan, in a Nashville bar in 2006, moments that are more vibrant than much of her album.

“I love country music so much,” she said. “That will hopefully be a phase of my career, way later.” In between now and then, though, is a blank slate. “I can’t even predict what that’s going to be,” she said of her next album. “I could make a polka record.”

Could happen.

Jon Gosselin's NYC Apartment "Ransacked"

TMZ has learned Jon Gosselin's apartment in New York City was 'ransacked' -- and the alleged culprit left a note behind with his ex girlfriend's name on it.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ when Jon returned to his pad today, his television was missing and some of his pillows had been sliced up.

Sources say a note was left behind with Hailey Glassman's name signed at the bottom -- but we're told someone else could have easily signed her name on it. The apartment is actually listed under both Gosselin and Glassman's name.

We're told Jon is filing a complaint with police.

UPDATE: Jon's television was not stolen, but get this ... our sources say there was knife stuck through the note that was left behind -- and whoever wrote it called Jon a "cheater."

Courteney Cox Showered In Jewels

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 23:50:02 GMT

Courteney Cox's husband David Arquette has a foolproof way of keeping the actress happy at Christmas - he showers her in jewels almost every year. The "Scream" actor has found a Los Angeles jeweler his wife of 10 years loves, and confesses when he's out of gift ideas gems and gold always wow his spouse.

He tells the New York Post, "I usually give my wife jewelry. Not Cartier. It's from the Rose Arch in L.A., a cool small designer kind of place where you don't spend as much on the packaging as you do on the gift. Beautiful artistic stuff."

Cox and Arquette exchanged gifts at their home in Malibu, California this year - an unexpected change of scenery for the longtime couple.

He explains, "We mostly go to Los Cabos (Mexico) at this time but, since we just finished our house in Malibu, this year it's a lazy Malibu Christmas."

Colin Firth: Bah Humbug!

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 23:49:47 GMT

Colin Firth despises the festive season so much he can't listen to the radio in December - because Christmas music makes him furious. The actor plays Ebenezer Scrooge's cheerful nephew Fred in Disney's 3D movie "A Christmas Carol", but insists he's actually more like the famous grump since he struggles to get into the holiday spirit every year.

He explains, "I have a profound loathing of Christmas - it's sad really. At this time of year, I am careful not to switch on the radio because those novelty jingles make me homicidal and plunge me into the heart of Scrooge territory. I think Christmas turns us all into Scrooge. Everyone is trying to throw happy stuff at you, and that's when I come over all humbug."

But he insists the film adaptation of Charles Dickens' story is the perfect remedy for people who hate the festivities.

He adds, "I think 'A Christmas Carol' is the best season story you'll find, because after its darkness, fear and regret, you're ready for a bit of joy by the end. Scrooge is an anti-hero for some reason - people admire this terrible old curmudgeon. Kids may be scared of the story, but you have to tell them it has a happy ending and that the ghosts are, in fact, acts of kindness to encourage Scrooge to change."

Brad and Angelina donate $100,000 to foster care organization

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 21:22:00 GMT

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie felt the spirit of giving this holiday season.

The famously generous couple donated $100,000 to the American SOS Children's Villages, an alternative foster care organization with locations in the U.S. in Illinois and Florida.

"We have seen firsthand the remarkable job SOS does to raised orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together," Jolie, 34, said in a statement. "No one "ages out" of an SOS Village. Vocational training, advanced education, living assistance and more support are there forever."

Heather Paul, CEO of SOS Children's Villages USA, thanked the Jolie-Pitts for their generosity and said they were longtime supporters of the organization. "We are deeply grateful that this year they have included in their generosity our villages in Illinois and Florida and our 300 children who call SOS 'home,' " she said in a statement. "In this holiday season, many of us take for granted that we are surrounded by loving family members. The poor outcomes for foster children indicate that we must do a much better job of supporting them."

SOS Children’s Villages is the largest nonprofit organization in the world solely dedicated to orphaned and abandoned children. There are 500 villages in 132 countries. – Mary Green
