Charles Durning the 85-year-old actor added to his resume Thursday with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Durning has been nominated for an Emmy nine times, two Academy Award nominations for 1982’s “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” and 1983’s “To Be or Not to Be.”

Durning a World War II hero was seriously wounded during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. He was taken prisoner during the Battle of the Bulge and was one of a few survivors of the attack on American POWs at Malmedy, Belgium. Durning was awarded three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star.

After the war Durning went on to box, ballroom dance and become a dependable character actor.

I own the NCIS set where He portrayed of a Marine veteran in “Call of Silence”. I have watched this episode over 20 times and it brings a tear to my eye every time.

Burton Gilliam, who worked with Durning on Evening Shade stated “Charles is like everybody uncle the type you like to have around.”

Keep up the good work Charles looking for more to come.

Rihanna must have forgot more then her boy-toy Chris Brown. It looks like she forgot her bra and her boobs can be seen through the sheer black shirt she is wearing.

I truly enjoy it when celebrities claim that ‘The shirt was not see through when I was trying it on’. How dumb can you get. You would be amazed what you are able to see through once you have a million flashbulbs going off in your face.

Enjoy the view guys

Tom Cruise & Scientology on a RICO suit.  Now here is a New one I just had to tell.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly referred to as RICO Act or RICO) permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages.

Tom Cruise is named in a $250 million federal lawsuit that is using the RICO statute against the Church of Scientology. Ex-Scientologist Peter Letterese, a longtime critic of the church, filed suit in Southern District Court in Florida on July 15 alleging, among other things, that members of the church harassed him after he left.

In court papers provided to The News by investigator Paul Barresi, Letterese claims a member of the church phoned his lawyer at home, and when the lawyer’s wife answered, said he was her husband’s homosexual lover. Barresi, who has done investigative work on behalf of Cruise, tells us: “[Letterese] is just including a celebrity name to get attention.” Letterese calls the church a “crime syndicate” and wants it broken up under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization law, just as the feds have broken up Mafia families.

He singles out Cruise, who’s made no secret of his religion, saying that Scientology head David Miscavage is “aided and abetted by the actions of Tom Cruise, his right-hand man for foreign and domestic promotion, as well as for foreign and domestic lobbying. He has assisted the syndicate in acquiring funds and [made] his own donations of money believed to be in the multiple tens of millions of dollars.”

One of Letterese’s beefs is that the church allegedly uses a business book, “Effective Sales Closing Techniques,” as part of its teachings. He says this violates his intellectual property rights, since he bought the rights to the book from the widow of author Leslie Dane. Cruise’s lawyer, Bert Fields, did not respond to an e-mail requesting comment. Karin Pouw, a spokeswoman for the Church of Scientology, told us: “This is a frivolous suit based on falsehoods.”

Now this should be made into a movie and Tom could play himself.  One way that he might be able to bring back his failing career as an actor. I would really like to hear your thoughts on this.

Whoopi Goldberg said that she’s bedded 50 people. It’s unclear if she’s including women in that number.

During a discussion on The View moments ago, Barbara Walters teased her Friday interviewee, the First Lady of France, Carla Bruni. She pointed out that Bruni “had over 30 lovers.” Sherri Shepherd, who admittedly has gotten around, asked in shock, “She told her husband she had 30 lovers!?”

On the other side of the table, however, Whoopi Goldberg was less surprised. She flashed the number of lovers she has had in her life — a feat that required using both of her hands and her feet. Turns out she’s had “about 50.” “You should do an album!” Walters said, in awe — in reference to Bruni’s own song lyrics about her lovers.

“It doesn’t matter how many people you’ve been with in your life,” Whoopi said, throwing it to commercial. “It’s who you stick with.” Which would have been a sweet sentiment, had we heard it. We were too busy sneezing coffee out of our noses.

From NY Mag

What would be a so-called normal number of lovers?  Besides fifty is a really, really, low number isn’t it?  hehehehe

Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCainwill be featured in a pair of comic books based on their lives the Fall.

The stories were independently illustrated and researched by an experienced team of artists and writers. San Diego-based publisher IDW Publishing will release the books to comic book shops on October 8th.

“We’re not doing anything that is sensational here,” IDW special projects editor Scott Dunbier says. “We’re sticking to the facts.”

This gives a whole new meaning “To see you in the funny papers.”

What do you get when you mix Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Barack Obama? The latest John McCain ad. In his constant effort to try and destroy the amazing following that Obama has, McCain has created this ad with the hopes of making people feel as if he is nothing more than a celebrity and that he will make a horrible President. In essence, he is comparing Barack Obama to Hilton and Spears. Would you want either of them to be your President? I know I wouldn’t want them.

So, it brings about a question that I have been thinking of since I first saw this advertisement. Should celebrities be allowed in ads? Do you think that Hilton and Spears should be thrown into these ads or do you think that they, along with all other celebrities, should be kept out of these advertisements?

Part of me says keep them the hell out. Barack Obama is not, under any circumstances, comparable to Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. Barack Obama is a respectable man. What is respectable about those two women? They can definitely get on the front page of tabloids like no one’s business. If that’s a feat, then hey, compare the two of them. But, I bet I could get on the front page of a tabloid too if I did something horrendous.
Look…I know John McCain is getting desperate, but don’t compare politicians to celebrities. What next? A website like Facebook? Oh wait…BarackBook.com already exists. McCain…Stop with these kind of ads and focus on the issues. Focus on what you’re good at: doing something political. These ads are just ridiculous. Keep the celebrities off the ads and stop comparing Obama to a celebrity.

So much for a clean, respectable campaign, huh? At least one of the politicians isn’t using stupid ads to try and win the election. Oh well.

Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiance, Casey Aldridge are ready to get married.  Ok is reporting that she will say “I do,” before the end of the year.  Jamie plans are to have the ceremony and reception at her new home in Liberty, Mississippi, and Britney, will be her maid of honor.

Despite their worldwide notoriety, the young couple won’t be swapping their vows at some 5-star celeb-filled resort, but will be sticking close to home. Jamie Lynn’s new house is in Liberty, Miss. — just 30 minutes from her mom Lynne Spears’ house, Serenity, in Kentwood, La. — and it sits on three acres, which is more than enough space to put up a tent for a private, late fall ceremony.

“She loves everything about the area where she lives. She’s not going to get married at some luxury resort in the Caribbean or a hotel in Beverly Hills,” a friend of the bride-to-be tells OK!. “Her own backyard with just the people who matter most is more Jamie Lynn’s style.”

And with the wedding approaching quickly, Jamie Lynn is planning to look her best on the big day. “She’s already down to her pre-pregnancy weight,” says the friend. “She has the cutest figure!”

Of course, big sis Britney Spears will be her Jamie Lynn’s maid of honor, and Casey’s sister Ashlee will be one of her bridesmaids. And tiny toddler Maddie will be an integral part of the wedding — possibly in a basket decorated with flowers and carried into the ceremony by the bride and groom’s mothers.

The new issue of OK! — on sale Thursday.

What are your thoughts?  Is Jamie Lynn too young to get married or is she doing the right thing?

Cheech and Chong the two that brought us Up in Smoke have a new comedy tour called “Hey, What’s That Smell?.” Yes their back and on tour.

Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are seizing the moment.

Thirty years after firing up the stoner comedy genre with their first feature, “Up in Smoke,” the duo are reuniting for their first comedy tour in more than 25 years.

If the B.O. success of the “Harold and Kumar” pics and the anticipation for Judd Apatow’s pot-fueled romp “Pineapple Express” are any indication, pop culture would welcome a fresh dose of Cheech and Chong. And given the strong biz that top comedy tours are harvesting these days, the B.O. potential for such a legendary team is no pipe dream.

Plans for the Live Nation-promoted comedy tour, dubbed “Hey, What’s That Smell?,” will be unveiled Wednesday at a news conference at West Hollywood’s Troubadour, where Cheech and Chong’s druggie buddy act first gained traction in the early 1970s. From 1972-85, the pair released nine comedy albums and eight features, all of which were helmed by Chong.

Since they parted ways in the 1980s, Marin has carved out a niche as a character thesp and become a prominent Latino arts advocate. Chong’s career has been choppier, hitting a low ebb in 2003 when he was arrested and subsequently served a nine-month prison stint after pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy to distribute drug paraphernalia through his Nice Dreams-branded water-pipe business.

Now this is one comedy show I would like tickets for. I hope the tour goes well, and they make another movie!

Jerry Lewis known for his charity fund-raising telethons for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).,  was stopped by authorities in Las Vegas on Friday July 25, 2008 at the McCarran International Airport. Lewis, 82, was discovered to have an unloaded firearm in his carry-on bag.

Lewis claimed to police he forgot he had placed the gun in his bag. The officers confiscated a .22-caliber Beretta and cited Lewis for having a concealed weapon without a permit.

Later Lewis’ manager, Claudia Marghilano, says the handgun is a hollowed-out prop gun that Lewis sometimes twirls during his show.

It is a sad day when 82 year old bad comedians need guns at airports.

Burlesque Stripper Dita Von Teese was asked to preform for Prince Harry’s upcoming birthday party in September.

The generously-eared royal [Prince Charles] met the gothic flasher at the toff-infested Cartier International Polo Tournament at the Guards Club in Windsor, London. Charmed by her alabaster assets, he asked what she did for a living and Dita, 35, replied: “I’m a dancer.” This vague job description failed to convey that her act involves giving a rhythmic biology lesson in a giant martini glass and doing the sort of things to a massive olive which are illegal in most countries.

Perhaps buoyed by the sun and Pimms and presuming her performance involved a cheeky Charleston, Chazza invited her to perform at Prince Harry’s 24th birthday. Our man said: “Poor Charles was so embarrassed when he realised what he’d done. He genuinely had no idea about her raunchy stage act. She was stunned when he suggested the idea, explaining that his son loved a good dance.

“But he gnawed his fist to within an inch of its knuckle when his aides explained what sort of dancing she did for a living.” We’re sure Prince Harry will forgive his old man when the burlesque performer toasts his big day with a giant glass of champagne garnished with her own breasties.
