Pamela Anderson and Rick Solomon get marriage license

Pamela Anderson and Rick Solomon have applied for and obtained a marriage license. The pair got the license Saturday afternoon in Las Vegas.

Solomon dated Paris Hilton in the past and is known for starring in her sex tape, ‘One Night in Paris.’ Solomon wed Elizabeth Dailey in 1995 and divorced her in 2002. He married ‘90210’ actress Shannen Doherty in 2002, but their marriage was annulled after 9 months.

Anderson also has two marriages under her belt. She married Motley Crue singer Tommy Lee in 1995, and later divorce him. She then married Kid Rock in 2006 and filed for divorce the same year.

She recently spoke about falling in love with a poker player who asked for sexual favors instead of paying him a $250,000 debt. It is now believed she was referring to Solomon, as he is a poker player.

MARIAH CAREY THINKS YOU WANT TO WATCH

Ask yourself a question. Would you ever want to watch Mariah Carey using the loo? Presumably the answer is no (if it's yes, get help, now), but Mariah thinks she's so bloody wonderful it's just the kind of thing any normal, heterosexual woman would want to witness.

Having drunk a little too much at a recent VH1 Music Cares event, according to Rush & Molloy, Madam Mariah needed to empty her swollen bladder. Rather than behaving like a normal human being and discretely nipping off for a slash, she sent two of her burly bodyguards into the ladies ahead of her demanding that everyone in there left.

Two women, to their eternal credit, refused and stood their ground, in response to which one of Mariah's 'people' barked the ridiculous order: "If you're going to stay, you better not watch Mariah pee."
Which does make you wonder whether she usually leaves the door wide open or maybe just pisses in the sink.

Denise Richards and Pamela Anderson consider posing nude together for Playboy

Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards have reportedly been offered $1 million to pose nude together for the January 2008 issue of Playboy. The women, who became good friends while filming ‘Blonde and Blonder,’ are said to be considering the offer from Playboy boss Hugh Hefner.

Both women have posed nude for the magazine in the past. “Neither Pam nor Denise has committed yet, but they’re seriously considering it,” a source says.

Meanwhile, Richards is involved in a messy custody battle with ex-husband Charlie Sheen. The couple is fighting over visitation rights of their two daughters. Richards alleges Sheen is inappropriately attracted to underage girls and reveals his “private parts” on the internet. A former nanny for Sheen claims she has seen the actor inappropriately touching his daughters.

Sheridan 3rd Year Animation Life Drawers

Hi all,

A few posts ago I wrote about teaching at Sheridan College for 3rd Year Animation Life Drawing.... and I'd have to say that it's been an absolute blast!

If you're curious to see my student's life drawings, check out our 'Unofficial Sheridan 3rd Year Life Drawers Blog' There's some real gems in there!

To encourage my students, every once in a while I will spotlight some of them.

Here's the first one. DAN YE. I really like these two drawings. Beautifully designed and great sense of life! Great job Dan!

Jessica Biel: The Next Wonder Woman?

Jessica Biel is in talks to play Wonder Woman in Warner Bros.' upcoming Justice League of America, with the superhero all-star flick possibly serving to launch Biel's own comic-book movie franchise, according to Variety.

The live-action film aims to bring together several of DC Comics biggest stars: Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Aquaman and the Flash.

A studio rep declined to comment on Tuesday, saying Warners would rather make one big announcement regarding the ensemble. So far, Biel is the first big-name actor linked to the highly anticipated—at least among fanboys—project.

(London's Guardian newspaper has reported that producers have also done a screen test with up-and-coming Australian actress Victoria Hill.)

If Biel ends up being cast in as Diana, the busty Amazonian princess warrior turned American icon, the 25-year-old actress would also be in line to star in a series of Wonder Woman feature-film spinoffs. Warners is reportedly envisioning JLA as a means to kick start both Wonder Woman and Flash stand-alone features.

A Wonder Woman flick has long been a passion of the studio. At one point, Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind Joss Whedon was on board to write and direct, but he pulled out last February, criting creative differences and leaving the project in limbo.

Whedon and the studio had apparently clashed over the casting the lead role. And although former Buffy stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Charisma Carpenter were among those rumored to be in contention to don the tiara, Whedon said he had not settled on his dream Wonder Woman.

JLA had also been on the drawing board for years, but things began to pick up steam when director George Miller, best known for his Mad Max and Babe franchises as well as last year's Oscar-winning 'toon Happy Feet, had come aboard to direct the superfriends film.

Studio executives are reportedly eager to get JLA before cameras before a potential Hollywood strike by writers and actors next summer.

After breaking out as minister's daughter Mary Camden on the long-running WB series 7th Heaven, Biel transitioned to feature films, including the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Blade: Trinity, Stealth with Jamie Foxx and The Illusionist, opposite Edward Norton.

Her most recent credits include the Iraq War drama Home of the Brave, the sci-fi thriller Next with Nicolas Cage and the summer's hit Adam Sandler-Kevin James comedy, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. After Biel wraps Powder Blue with Forrest Whitaker and Ray Liotta, she'll segue to A Woman of No Importance, Bruce Beresford's upcoming film based on the Oscar Wilde play.

If Warner Bros. can get the casting situation resolved quickly, JLA could start shooting by early next year, enough time to beat the strike deadline, and be in theaters by 2009.

But finding the right people to fill the tights has always proven problematic, especially when it comes to the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader.

Neither Superman Returns star Brandon Routh nor Batman Begins hero Christian Bale will appear in JLA—both have expressed concerns that the new film will dilute their already successful franchises.

Production on the next Superman film is expected to proceed as soon as director Bryan Singer completes work on Valkyrie, his World War II drama starring Tom Cruise.

Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan has been shooting his Batman sequel, The Dark Knight, for a July 18, 2008 release.

Meg White Sex Tape Scandal: Reason For Canceled White Stripes Gigs?

The Meg White Sex Tape has caused quite a stir. Meg White of The White Stripes, a band known for their raw low-fidelity sound, appears to have a sex tape blazing up bandwidth on the internet.

In the stills below, it sure does look like Meg but one cannot be 100% certain. And given the climate of fakes these days, one has to question the authenticity first.

On Sept 11, 2007 The White Stripes canceled their forthcoming engagements because Meg White was suffering from "acute anxiety". We can't help but wonder if the anxiety is due to this sex tape that has splashed onto the web.

Paris Hilton’s Boyfriend Delivers… Pizza!

Well, if this doesn’t surprise the heck out of you, nothing will! In her quest for a mate, Paris Hilton didn’t have to look any further than her local Pizza Hut.

That’s right, the heiress has fallen in love with a pizza delivery guy. Alex Vaggo made the acquaintance of the heiress while the two were partying at the same Vegas nightclub.

All in all, it’s a pretty fortunate series of events for Vaggo. According to one of his friends, “He decided to fly to LA for a holiday and spent much of the summer working as a pizza delivery boy to raise extra money. We were amazed to see how quickly he hooked up with Paris.”

But Alex’s pals don’t have much hope for the relationship long term. They said, “He’s quite a shy, laid-back kind of guy. Paris will probably eat him alive.”

Angelina Jolie says she’s slept with four men

Actress tells magazine she married two of those guys; no word on women.

For all the talk and insinuations of her promiscuity, Angelina Jolie says she’s only slept with four men.

In an interview with Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine, the sexy star said she has only “slept with four men in my life — and I married two of them!”

Of course, Angelina has also been linked to various women over the years, including her former “Foxfire” co-star Jenny Shimizu.

In a 2004 interview with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush, Angelina talked about her seemingly very public love life.

“I have been involved with a few men over the years. But not the ones that are in the paper,” she revealed.

“Do you find it hard to live up to this image of being Angelina Jolie? Of being a sexual woman?” Billy asked her.

“I can be silly and awkward and I’m a mom most of the time, but when I’m with a lover I think I’m quite confident,” laughed Angelina.

“On that note, are you dating anyone or just seeing a lover?” asked Billy, long before Brad entered the fray.

“I have lovers,” she confided. “I’m not bringing anyone to my son so I’m not involved too closely.”

But when it comes to her current bedmate, it appears Brad and Angelina plan on keeping themselves plenty busy.

“We’re not done,” Brad told reporters when asked if the couple planned to have more kids. “They say, ‘Any plans for a fifth?’ And I say, ‘And a sixth, and a seventh, and an eighth, and a ninth.’ That’s my answer.”

Christina Aguilera: It's a Boy!

Now that Paris Hilton has unofficially told the world that Xtina is pregnant the guessing game begins on the sex of the little baby. According to OK! Magazine the news is in. For Christina Aguilera - it's a boy! Or at least it will be when he pops out.

OK! reports that it has learned that Xtina's closest pals are all shopping for some pretty gender-specific gifts. "They're all boy-themed, all blue," a source reveals to OK!. While Christina and hubby Jordan Bratman have yet to confirm that her growing belly bump is actually a baby, the magazine notes that it wasn't just Paris that spilled.

Ken Ehrlich, Executive Producer of this year's Emmy telecast, let it slip to OK! last week when he said, "We're very sensitive to her pregnancy." And ley's faceit - there was really no hiding that baby bump at the ceremony. She looked stunning and very buxom as she wore figure-hugging, pearl dress.

A few days earlier, Paris Hilton called Christina "the most beautiful pregnant woman in the world" at a pre-VMA party hosted by the mom-to-be.

Lindsay Lohan Is Suffering From Sex Addiction

Reportedly actress Lindsay Lohan is suffering from a sex addiction during her stay in rehab.

Lindsay, who is currently undergoing treatment for her drugs and alcohol habits, has found herself repeatedly thinking about her ex-boyfriends and erotic situations as a side effect of her rehab at the Cirque Lodge.

An insider has said that “She’s been having erotic dreams about her former lovers, like Calum Best, Wilmer Valderama and Jared Leto. Her counsellors are trying to get her to understand that she’s substituting one addiction for another. Besides the obvious dangers of STDs, having indiscriminate sex can lead to emotional heartbreak, and that can lead to drug and alcohol abuse.”

Pam Anderson: Sex Tapes, Prostitution and Gambling Debts!

Pamela Anderson, now in her 40’s,has been caught in the spotlight for many reasons. Many of the controversies have been based on the amazing sexual appeal she obviously has, that which came naturally, and that which was bought and paid for, fair and square. Evidently no one is immune, including professional poker players.

In an interview on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Pam Anderson allegedly revealed that she recently owed a poker debt of 125 thousand dollars to a casino in Las Vegas. She acknowledge met a man there, who paid her gambling debt in exchange for sexual favors. She claims to have fallen in love with this new man, who she is currently dating as well.

As she described the debt, she said that the man offered to settle the debt if she would ‘make out with him’ and Anderson accepted his proposal immediately. She followed the statement saying that the entire affair felt romantic to her.

It worked out, I liked it. … I paid off a poker debt with sexual favors and fell in love. It’s so romantic.” - San Francisco Gate

Initially Pamela Anderson did not want to reveal the name of her mysteryRick Solomon man, but ultimately she did give his name. She said the man was poker player Rick Solomon. The popular starlet and former playboy model may be seen as a rail bird at the next major event – the audience will watch and see.

He’s also known for a sexy tape that was leaked to the media of himself and notorious diva Paris Hilton, while he was married to Beverly Hills 90210, and Charmed’s Shannen Doherty.

50 Cent defends Britney against Kanye

Rapper 50 Cent has hit back at Kanye West for criticising Britney Spears' lacklustre performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, insisting the hip-hop star should not take out his anger on the troubled singer.

West recently slammed MTV's decision to let Spears open Sunday's awards ceremony ahead of himself, claiming the Toxic hitmaker was "not ready" to make her pop comeback.

But 50 Cent believes West is just jealous of all the attention Spears has been receiving.


He tells American DJ Ryan Seacrest: "(West) was upset, he's not used to being recognised. Period.

"Kanye expressed that he felt that Britney shouldn't be actually opening the show - almost like he forgot that Britney Spears sold 50 million records. She did.

"He is not thinking about her full body of work. She deserved to headline the show better than anybody else that was on it - even in the state that she is in."

Jessica Alba Sex Tape? Dane Cook, A Penguin & Oral Sex...WTF?!

Dane Cook and Jessica Alba Sex Tape? Ok, so it's kind of a sex tape. Dane Cook gives some stuffed penguin rough oral sex while Jessica Alba moans along as the penguin's voice.

Ok, this tape is seriously...just plain weird. It's from 'Funny or Die', and Dane Cook kind of scares me. He says things like, "Do you want me to eat your penguin ass?!"

"You like that, don't you?"

He's quite the grunter! IDLYITW quips: Jessica Alba and Dane Cook have a sex tape. Well, not really. It's just Dane Cook raping a penguin and Jessica Alba begging for oral sex. This looks like a lot more fun that what I did this weekend. I just can't seem to make a decent batch of lemon cookies to save my life.

Is Vanessa Hudgens a Girl Gone Wild?

She’s gotta be devastated that her nudie pics were leaked onto the Internet last week. But according to Joe Francis, founder of Girls Gone Wild, Vanessa Hudgens should be thrilled, and looking forward to a lucrative career with his company.

Francis has offered Vanessa $500,000 to star in a video and commercial for Girls Gone Wild. And as outlandish as that may sound to you and I, according to Joe it’s entirely logical.

From a Las Vegas prison, Joe told press, “There’s a little Girls Gone Wild in every woman. And this should be embraced as a positive, not a negative.” And Francis says that Hudgens is the perfect type of girl for his videos.

Vanessa Hudgens is the classic girl next door gone wild. Being sexual is not a crime. She took a picture, it was leaked, and now it is time to move forward with her career. She is gorgeous, fun, talented and outgoing, which are exactly the attributes that Girls Gone Wild and its fans appreciate. We certainly hope Vanessa jumps on the Girls Gone Wild Bus and joins the best-selling late night videos in the world as a host.”

Hmmm… High School Musical millions, or five hundred grand to look like a skank? Is it really a tough decision?

Vanessa Hudgens Nude Picture Shocker

Vanessa Hudgen is 18 years old and is said to be the next hot thing in Hollywood.

It has come to light on the internet that there is a photo of Vanessa naked and apparently it has been confirmed that it is in fact Vanessa and not a look-alike.

It has been reported that Disney has just fired her from all promotions from the company.

These photos are said to have come about because her boyfriend apparently took some innocently naughty pictures of her and looks like he has put them on the net.

Vanessa’s rep has released a statement basically confirming that it is Vanessa in the picture.

Her rep has said that “This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public.”

Jessica Simpson hooks up with Leonardo DiCaprio!

Jessica Simpson was spotted getting cozy with actor Leonardo DiCaprio at a Hollywood nightclub recently, NW reports.

"They were all over each other," says an eyewitness at Les Deux, who confirmed they were sitting in their own private booth, talking intimately. "His arm was around her and her hand was on his knee."

Despite recent rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio, 32, was planning on marrying his girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, the Israeli model seemed to be the last thing on his mind as he partied with Jessica Simpson until the early hours of the morning.

Insiders reveal that Jess, 27, has harbored a huge crush on The Departed star for years, and was extremely flattered when the A-list hottie approached her in the crowded hot spot.

"Jess always thought Leo was cute and talented," says a source.
