Matthew McConaughey Engaged To Camila Alves

by on December 27, 2011

Two kids and nearly six years later, Matthew McConaughey popped the question to his longtime lady love, model Camila Alves, over the holiday weekend. Her answer? A big yes! The actor confirmed the engagement on Twitter.

“Just asked camila to marry me, merry Christmas,” he tweeted on Christmas Day, also posting a photo of him and Alves kissing next to Christmas decorations. The couple have a 3-year-old son, Levi, and a daughter, Vida, who turns 2 next month.

In the March issue of Esquire, the actor gushed about his bride-to-be. “Before this, I had a super home in the Hollywood Hills that I did by myself — landscaping, detailing pretty much everything. But that house was mine. and yeah, we coulda gone in there right away. Camila would have said, ‘Fine, don’t change a thing.’ But I thought, ‘I found the woman I wanna do it with, the woman I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together.’ She needs to have 50 percent of that,” he said. “I mean, it’s a lot easier for me to be at 100 percent. I’d always been 100 percent. It’s braver for me at 50 percent.”

In September 2008, McConaughey opened up to People about Alves, calling her “the love of my life.” The two began dating in 2006. “I always wanted to be a father and thought it would be great, but it just took the right woman and the right time to make it all happen,” he said. “We’re a family now. I see the future and it’s clearer to me now. Walking around with this cool responsibility all the time, it’s a wonderful thing.”

| | Oh, this is too bad. I’d really hoped Brooke Mueller , ex-wife of Charlie Sheen and mother of their twin boys, Max and Bob , was doing better . Yet she was arrested in Aspen last night for assault and possession of cocaine, according to the Aspen police department. a friend told Radar Online: “This arrest is no surprise to anyone. not her friends and not her family. Brooke’s an addict. She’s not serious about getting sober or getting help. If her kids aren’t enough of a motivation than what is?” Addiction is a TOUGH illness to beat. really tough. all you can hope for is that this may be the wake-up call Brooke needs.

Mila Kunis’ Marine Corps Ball Date: Actress Was ‘Down To Earth’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — like her “Friends with Benefits” leading man Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis fit right in with the men and women at the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina this past weekend.

Following JT’s appearance at a Ball in Washington D.C. last week, Mila followed through with her promise to Sgt. Scott Moore and the lucky Marine appeared on Access Hollywood Live on Monday to share details from his exciting night with the actress.

“She looked very good,” he told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover. “I think all the gentlemen and ladies there were dressed to impress and she was definitely right along with that crowd. She looked very good.”

According to Sgt. Moore, the 28-year-old actress appeared to be quite comfortable with he and his fellow Marines.

”[I was surprised] just how down to earth she was. She’s just a normal person,” he said. “She was very interested in what the ball was all about.”

Sgt. Moore, who said there was some dancing and plenty of introductions throughout the night, wasn’t sure if he’d be able to take Mila out again.

“She’s really busy shooting a movie right now. I’m pretty busy doing the Marine stuff, they keep me pretty busy,” he told Billy and Kit. “I’m sure we’ll stay in touch.”

The Marine, who started the ask-a-celebrity-to-the-Marine-Corps-Ball craze back in July, has his friends to thank – in part – for landing Mila as his date.

“I kind of talked to my buddies about doing this for a while and one day we had an extra couple minutes and they called by bluff, they said, ‘put up for shut up!’” he recalled. “so, I put up.”

VP Joe Biden Explains Why SOPA & PROTECT IP Are Anti-American & A Bad Idea

by on November 16, 2011

from the good-for-him dept

A couple of weeks ago, Joe Biden gave a perfect, if unintended, explanation for why SOPA and PROTECT IP are such terrible ideas. Since his speech included a bunch of other things, we thought it would be good to highlight Biden’s specific arguments that explain why SOPA and PROTECT IP are bad, and to give him kudos for making such statements, since they contradict the statements from Hollywood on this bill. unfortunately, even with Biden’s clear and incontestable statements that show the massive harm that SOPA and PROTECT IP would cause for innovation in the US, this bill still has tremendous momentum in DC, thanks to a strong lobbying push from the legacy entertainment industry. In fact, don’t be surprised if Biden totally contradicts himself in a few weeks and pretends that he’s all for censoring the internet, harming innovation, and “fixing” what isn’t broken on the internet. That’s why we’re urging folks to support American Censorship Day tomorrow, as the House holds its first hearings ever on how best to censor the internet. Biden’s clear explanation of why SOPA & PROTECT IP are so bad should give pause to anyone supporting it — and will certainly raise serious eyebrows if/when Biden (and the White House) later change positions on these bills. oh, and if Biden does change positions, let’s hold him to it, and make it clear that the American public doesn’t appreciate flip flopping politicians, who completely contradict themselves, based on who’s supporting what legislation.

Jemile Weeks Is Finishing The Season Strong

by on October 5, 2011

Aside from the release of Brad Pitt’s Hollywood version of Michael Lewis’ Moneyball, A’s fans haven’t had much to smile about in September. The A’s, who had entered the season with so much promise and potential, will finish the season under .500, and will miss the playoffs for the five consecutive season.

While teams like the Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, and Detroit Tigers clinching their respective divisions, the A’s are left on the side of the road wondering about what went wrong in 2011. Oakland’s injury woes continued again this year, a prominent theme apparently for this organization, as did the team’s inconsistencies on offense.

Since being derailed during the first half of the season, the A’s, under Bob Melvin, have tried to find positives in a very disappointing season. Melvin, who replaced Bob Geren in June, has definitely tried very hard to instill a positive attitude in the A’s clubhouse. as a reward of his valiant efforts, Melvin has been given a three-year extension.

Since arriving, Melvin has shown that his leadership skills far exceed that of his predecessor, and players have taken a liking to Melvin’s approach to the game. for a young team like Oakland, strong leadership is key to the team’s continual growth and development, and Melvin is definitely the right guy for the job.

Take 2B Jemile Weeks for example. Weeks, who came up to the big leagues while Mark Ellis was injured back in June, has been a glimmer of hope for the Athletics. Melvin has shown a strong trust, as has the organization, in Weeks’ ability to play second-base for the team. Trading Ellis soon after Weeks’ call-up marked a monumental shift towards the future, with Weeks representing a bright spot for an organization that hasn’t made the playoffs since ’06.

The former 1st round draft pick, Weeks impressed the A’s and their fans right out of the gates. Once getting called up, the 24-year old hit .309/.349/.469 with six RBIs and six stolen bases in June. since then, he’s been one of Oakland’s most consistent players on offense, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that this kid is right at home in the major leagues.

He’s brought a certain energy, a swagger, if you will, that Oakland did not have during the first two months of the season. with just one series left before the end of the season, the A’s young infielder will look to continue his impressive play and finish the year on a high note. in September, Weeks has shown flashes of power, and his slash line this month is an impressive .341/.375/.476. He’s collected 11 RBIs this month and a total of two home runs as well.

Like Melvin, Weeks has given the A’s a renewed sense of hope and energy heading into the final days of the season.

Brad Pitt Backtracks on 'Moneyball' Press Gaffe About Jennifer Aniston

by on September 16, 2011

Brad Pitt is backtracking from recent comments he made about his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, and their marriage.

In an interview with Parade magazine, Pitt — who next stars in Moneyball, which recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival — seemed to criticize Aniston, to whom he was married from 2000-05.

“I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony," he said. "I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t."

FILM REVIEW: 'Moneyball'

The quotes received a great deal of media attention after they were posted on Parade's website Thursday. later in the day, Pitt issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter through his reps at CAA in which he clarified what he was trying to say and praised Aniston.

"It grieves me that this was interpreted this way," he said. "Jen is an incredibly giving, loving and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself — and that, I am responsible for."

Pitt has largely remained silent about Aniston and their marriage since they got divorced six years ago. However, he did raise eyebrows when he posed with Jolie for a family-themed shoot in the July 2005 issue of W magazine, not long after his split with Aniston.

After the magazine came out, Aniston remarked that he was missing a "sensitivity chip."

Pitt — who has six children with Angelina Jolie — is on the promotional tour for Moneyball, which opens Sept. 23. In the movie, which Steven Zaillian adapted from Michael Lewis' best-selling book, Pitt plays Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane, a role that is earning him Oscar buzz.

Poll>Favorite Singer-Kris Kristofferson or Glen Campbell?

by on June 23, 2011

Of these two, I have to go with the gritty sound of Kris Kristofferson. I
can't explain why, maybe it had to do with the turmoil in Glen's life of
fighting with his wives, but there is just something lacking in Campell's
music that just doesn't draw me to him.

Hi Hollywood Baby,
Kris Kristofferson way better than Glen Campbell any day.
Your Friend,
poppy1

Glen Campbell, I never really thought much of Kristoffersons' singing, although he was a hellava writer.

Kris Kristofferson,mainly cause I really haven't heard anything by Glen Campbell

Kristofferson is a better writer than singer so I pick Glen Campbell.

Kris Kristofferson
one of the great songwriters of our time

singer-Glen Campbell
actor-Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson cuz that's an awesome name.

Both are very good. I did get to see Glen Campbell preform. He lives here in Arkansas.

Kris Kristofferson ! and a really good actor.

Glen Campbell is a bonafide legend I love him!

Kris Kristofferson…

What Do You Make Of The Fact That Barack Leaves America & Benjamin Netanyahu Moves In?

by on May 24, 2011

I love Barack but I`m getting confused. why do the American people love Benjamin Netanyahu so much ?

Good trade.

Netanyahu knows how to protect borders and he's straight with the people. He's not a racist fraud like President Dumbass, and there's no way in hell, with our military, Mexico would survive the night.

yes, it's obvious that if yo love BO you are confused.

We love him because unlike your precious obama, he's a real leader that loves his country and fights for it every day. and he actually understands how Muslims live and behave.

He would be elected president if he was eligible.

Because Netanyahu doesn't pull any punches.seriously,if he wants to run for President here,I'll vote for him in a minute.

American people? You mean the Zionist Americans I hope. 3 Billion dollars of American tax money goes to Israel every year. AIPAC is the biggest lobby and most important lobby in America. Hollywood, Wallstreet and the Whitehouse are runned by Zionists. the news is making everything related to Israel bigger than it is thats why you think the American people loves this man.

WELL WE NOW KNOW HOW OBAMA FEELS ABOUT ISRAEL

I don't deny he's handsome to you. That's the way it should be for you folks.What kind of name is that other buck you got on the screen.You need to find one man and just settle down and support your own. Don't depend on us to do it.

Because Bibi is the biggest liar ever, and Republicans welcomed one of their own.
