Olsen Twins: Why is Everybody Always Picking on Them?

Dec 12, 2007 Author: Roo Zoo | Filed under: Olsen Twins

PETA, the animal rights organization, has set their sights on professional kewpie dolls the Olsen Twins with a site called the Trollsen Twins. At first, I was surprised that PETA would make things so personal and go after particular people. But apparently they’re justifying their attack because the twins have included fur in their collections. PETA has in fact gone after other celebs in the past, including Beyonce Knowles.

The legendary Ike Turner has died in his sleep at age 76. The incredibly talented performer was married to Tina Turner in a reportedly violent marriage. The two performed together as the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, and opened for many bands including the Rolling Stones.

Cause of death has not been reported yet.

Breaking News: Amy Winehouse a Mess

Dec 12, 2007 Author: Roo Zoo | Filed under: Amy Winehouse

Yeah, you know that already. But now Amy Winehouse is close to a meltdown, after being denied a visit with hubby Blake Fielder-Civil, who’s currently in jail. The reason she was denied was that she go in after visiting hours. After leaving nearly in tears, she apparently consoled herself with a couple of popsicles from a nearby store.

Who’s Slamming Who: Janice.. Tyra.. Britney Spears

Dec 12, 2007 Author: Roo Zoo | Filed under: Celebrity

First, Janice Dickinson - Supermodel 1,000,000 yrs B.C. - defended Jennifer Love Hewitt’s big ass and slammed Tyra. “Tyra’s fat.” Then she fake apologized when fat Al Roker challenged her. Now Tyra “Big Ass” Banks supposedly said that Britney Spears should just kill herself, go out in a grand way like Marilyn Monroe.

I seriously hope that this is a rumor because this goes beyond simple cattiness/ nastiness. On the other hand, if the following video is real, maybe Tyra did say all that.

Mugger Steals Naomi Campbell’s Phones?

Dec 12, 2007 Author: Roo Zoo | Filed under: Celebrity

The Led Zeppelin concert in London Monday night was apparently well-attended by many celebs and even some British royals. Or should I say Royals? Speaking of which, Fashion Royalty Naomi Campbell says she was mugged in the luxury box, that her handbag was taken, which contained two phones.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Maybe it was one of the two people Campbell supposedly struck with a phone in the past? Later reports say that she was not mugged, and some say her bag was stolen, so it’s all a bit confusing.

Sorry, just teasing, ladies. He doesn’t bare all, but David Beckham does appear in a new Giorgio Armani ad with his chest bared, legs spread, and manly package front and almost center. You can see for yourself above.

Courtney Love Finds Balance in Life?

Dec 11, 2007 Author: Roo Zoo | Filed under: Celebrity

It’s hard to believe that little Frances Bean is now 15 years old. She’s the daughter of former rock mess Courtney Love (once a stripper) and grunge rock idol Curt Cobain, who died in April 1994. Frances Bean was just a wee baby when Cobain met his untimely end. Love has had a troubled life in those intervening years, as Frances grew up.

Some Nirvana fans believe Love had something to do with his death by what was deemed self-inflicted gunshot wounds, and Love has had an uphill battle since. She’s had plastic surgery that softened her facial features - one of very few such surgeries that enhanced rather than destroyed. And she’s now a practicing Buddhist, even to the point of chanting before an interview. You can read more about the balance she’s achieved in an interview at the Telegraph. And for a view of old-style Courtney Love, watch this 2005 Pam Anderson Roast. I can’t tell if she’s drunk, stoned or both.

Breaking News: Paris Hilton Helps Someone

Dec 11, 2007 Author: Roo Zoo | Filed under: Paris Hilton

I know, I know. It’s quite the shocker, but Paris Hilton actually helped someone. She was at Cameo nightclub in Miami on the weekend and one of the Oompa-Loompa performers, Robin Sherwood, got bum-rushed and injured. Hilton comforted him.

Sherwood got cut and apparently needs a kidney transplant, though it’s not clear if this has anything to do with the incident. But Paris and sister Nicky have set up a foundation to help with Sherwood’s operation.

Warms my heart to think that there’s hope for even the doofiest of Hollyweird celebs. I wonder what Paris will do for the romantic rival for rich hunk Stavros Niarchos’ heart that she supposedly punched. And did this foundation pay for the new fake lips Paris seems to have?

It’s nice to see a growing trend of celebs doing something nice for others. Gwen Stefani, who has never behaved badly as far as I know, has set up a college scholarship fund aimed at students affected by the California wildfires this fall.

Is Hayden Panettiere a Kinky Girl?

Dec 11, 2007 Author: Roo Zoo | Filed under: Hayden Panettiere

Egotastic has pics of Hayden Panettiere in a blue miniskirt and knee-high leather come-bang-me boots. Wouldn’t be surprised if she tends to the kinky, given the pics she posed for in GQ, but keep in mind that she just turned 18, and only “yesterday”, she played a frightened child hiding under a table in Law & Order: SVU.

Here’s a video of Hayden sort of stripping:
