Ok, so who get’s paid a lot of money on their job, and leaves it because they got too comfortable with the money!???  Yeah, William Pederson, who plays as Grissom is leaving CSI and says it’s because he barely has to work!  Everyone is different, but if that was me….I wouldn’t mind hanging out on the set and getting paid!!!

WOW!  Mariska Hargitay…She must be superwoman!  I don’t mean to be harsh in any way, cuz a collapsed lung sounds serious!  But I guess it isn’t serious enough to miss work huh!?  That is what you call Dedication!  I hope she will be well.  The last time I heard someone in Hollywood wasn’t doing well, they died the next day.  She will be alright though…Do Your Thing Mariska!!

Watching rich-wealthy people on TV really makes me sick!  These spoiled ass people need to learn what it is like to be broke for a few months of their lives.  I mean, some of us don’t even make $200,000 in 4 years, and these people waste $200,000 on a freakin’ party!!  Umm…Can I have $50,000 Please?

Anyways, the spoiled Kardashian’s return for a 3rd season.  I don’t see myself actually watching a full episode, unless I catch Kim on camera the way I did last season…My My My!  Sorry Reggie!!

 Last Friday wasn’t pretty for Patrick Swayze who checked himself into the hospital for pneumonia. The dirty dancer has been battling stage IV pancreatic cancer for quite some time now. Rumors even swirled that Patrick only had two years left to live. Yikes! I hope that one isn’t true. It would be a crying shame if such a talented star’s career was cut short from cancer at the age of 56. Physicians stated that chemotherapy played a part in Patrick catching the awful illness being that the immune system weakens. The good news is that he is said to be doing just fine and is expected to bounce back with the right meds and a little catch up on some R&R. Phew! Even though Patrick has been knocked out for a bit in real life, on the small screen it’s another story. In his newest TV drama, The Beast, Patrick stars as tough FBI agent Charles Barker that is anything but bed ridden. Check out the clip below!

Remember that rant by that guy who kept calling Lindsay Lohan a firecrotch? Well, let me refresh your memory if you don’t.

That babbling-brown-haired man happens to be an oil heir of Marvin Davis worth billions and not to mention, Paris Hilton’s best friend. But that’s beyond the point. What’s more important is that Brando’s mommy owes over $200,000 on her Bel Air home. Even worse, the company that gave her the loan for the home is threatening to foreclose on her if she doesn’t pay back what is owed by February 26. This is not a good sign. If billionaires can’t afford their homes then who can? Supposably the house is up for sale for around $20,000,000. Good luck selling that one in this economy! Sounds like another house of cards…

Hilary Duff passed the bar in California and is becoming a lawyer! Okay, so that’s not entirely true. The Disney veteran isn’t really becoming a lawyer. Instead Hilary is starring in the new FOX sitcom “Barely Legal” where she plays the empowered 18 year-old Katherine Holz who passes the bar and becomes Cali’s youngest practicing lawyer. Sound fitting for the Disney queen? Hilary might’ve tore it up at Disney but I’m not convinced she can handle primetime television. However, the cool part about this sitcom is that it is based on a true story. It could actually have some legit substance. We haven’t seen a whole lot of new material from Hilary since her last album, but “Barley Legal” could serve up some new talk for the Duffster.

Hello TV junkies and welcome to Clevver.com. I’m Joslyn in Beverly Hills here to let you know that fans of ABC’s hit show LOST can rest assured that when the show returns to TV for season five on Jan 21st, you will not be disappointed. Word has it that some Lost cast members who were killed off in previous seasons may be making a come back. A recent promo shot for show appeared to depict Jack’s creepy dad Christian chit chatting among the left behinders. So, will we be seeing him again? Or what about Claire? Or the fan favorite Charlie?

Watch Lost Season 5 Preview

Well, here is what we do know. Christian, who is played by John Terry WILL in fact be making a return to the show but “Lost” boss Damon Lindelof says Terry will be on the show this season but not as Christian…. extremely confusing. So I guess we’ll have to wait and see. As far as the beautiful Emile de Ravin is concerned, we hear through inside sources that her character Claire will not be a series regular during season five, but that we definitely will be seeing her again. In what capacity? That we do not know.

In regards to Dominic Monaghan? Well, he’s staying pretty busy and will actually be guest starring on Chuck in February, but as far as his lost alter ego is concerned, he admits that Damon Lindelof does have ideas for his character Charlie. But, Dom says that if he were to return to the cult-hit, his character would have to have an interesting story. Sounds fair enough.

Safe to say LOST has still got it going on. There is enough drama going on that island to keep fans busy for at least a few more seasons.

Just when we thought Inauguration Day couldn’t get any more exciting, I found out that our favorite teens are gracing us with their presence in what will more than likely be an unforgettable performance! The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced today that Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and Bow Wow will all be performing at the Kids’ Inaugural on Monday night! Disney.com will be streaming the Disney starred concert that is being held to honor military families.

Last time Disney’s favorite x-lovas, Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas, ran into eachother was Sunday night at the Golden Globes. It seemed that Miley was eyeing Nick during this somewhat awkward run-in. Take a look for yourself below. Does Miley still have a thing for the Jonas wonder boy? Hopefully next Monday when they reunite for the concert Nick will be a little more friendly!

So you must be living under a rock if you haven’t heard that the oh so cute couple of Josh Duhamel and Fergie were wed on Saturday at the Church Estates Vineyard in Malibu. Awwww! It’s about time considering these two have been dating for years. Fergie, aka Stacey Ferguson, glowed in a Dolce & Gabbana gown while wearing her 4 carat specially cut diamond from her hubby Josh. The beautiful wedding with star-studded attendees like Mario Lopez, Kate Hudson, Kid Rock, and other fab celebs isn’t what surprised me. Rather, it’s the fact that with all the wedding news it came to my attention that Fergie’s hubby Josh is 36 years old! I know, I know…it’s not that old, but come on! That’s four years away from being officially over the hill! I thought Josh was in his 20’s with those strapping good looks and killer bod. Kudos for you Josh for looking so fly. Good thing Fergie got him on lock down before a cougar in Hollywood snagged him up.

Later Fergie and Josh were spotted at LAX heading out to Dubai for their honeymoon. But, enough about wedding bells, I’m more concerned with when I’m going to see Fergie perform next. Well, I’m in luck because Miss Fergalicious recently wrapped on the new film Nine starring Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Daniel Day-Lewis. 

“Nine is a musical following a film director named Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), who is in his middle age. He is trying to complete his next film. His main problem is that he has too many women in his life. Luisa, his wife, Carla his sexy mistress, and Claudia, his muse and protege.”

Hmmm…sounds naughty! I can’t wait to see if Fergie really has the acting chops to share the screen with legends like Daniel Day-Lewis and icons like Nicole Kidman. Only time will tell. The movie is not set to release until December of 2009 though. Until then, hopefully we will spot Ferg and Joshy around town as a newly happy couple!

So what is this now like the 20th season? I’ll have to confess i always watch the first few shows just to see all the crappy auditions. However, i cant stand the show once it gets serious. Some people are saying that it might be getting old and it could see a big decrease in ratings.

This season there is a new Judge named Kara DioGuardi. I’m i the only one that has never heard of her? Anyway i’m hoping to see another William Hung today.

Now, it never really mattered to me who the cast members were of these various reality TV shows that VH1 broadcasts, but I was kind of looking forward to seeing some newer faces, since most of the popular reality shows have ended their seasons.

I admit that I enjoyed watching “I Love Money” and have been looking forward to season 2.  But once again, we have a cast full of REJECTS that were eliminated from other VH1 shows. i.e. Real Chance of Love, Rock of Love, I Love New York, Flavor of Love…….Now, I don’t really know if I wanna watch it or not.  Well….Maybe I will watch it to see Cali, with her sexy self!

See the full cast for I Love Money 2

Don’t you love it when they bring back all the original characters from the first movie!  They even brought back the girlfriend and sister from the first Fast & Furious!  I keep watching the trailer, over and over again! I Can’t Wait……

Some experts are actually a bit disappointed in Globe nominations and say that there arent any big trends as far as one film that could possibly sweep several categories. I dont call that disappointing—it just means anything could happen.

2009 Golden Globe Predicted Winners

For entertainment junkies and gossip columnists, the nominee lineup is pretty sweet. Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, and Kate Winslet are among the women being nominated for Best Actress in a motion picture drama WHILE Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Brad Pitt are just three of the men up for Best Actor Nods. And if thats not enough to get you to tune in when the show airs in a few weeks, perhaps names like Javier Bardem, James Franco, Penelope Cruz or Colin Ferrell will persuade you, as each of these actors are nominated in other categories.

However, the big award to watch for will in the category of best performance by a supporting actor in a motion picture. This is for two reasons. One is that unlikely nominee Tom Cruise is in the running for his hilarious role in Tropic Thunder. The other is that Heath Ledger is nominated for what became his last performance as Joker in The Black Knight.

Racking up nominations overall with five apiece are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon and Doubt. Film insiders suspect that Button will go home with the most globes and is easily at the top of the list this year. You can also expect Mama Mia to win in the category for comedy or musical, unless an underdog film like Vicky Cristina Barcelona pulls through at the last moment.

Making appearances in the television categories are fan favorites like Entourage, 30 Rock, and The Office. I think the toughest competition this year might just be with the ladies nominated for a comedy or musical television series. America Ferrera, Tina Fey, Christina Applegate, Mary Louise Parker and the lovely Debra Messing are EASILY all deserving of the award, so voters definitely have their work cut out for them.

The awards are set to air January 11th. But, dont expect to see all your favorite couples together. Word has it that Tom Cruise will be rolling solo-his wife Katie Holmes will be staying behind in New York to fulfill her Broadway role. At least Katie wont have to worry about him running into his beautiful ex Nicole Kidman, because her epic film Australia was completely shut out. That said, this yearss Golden Globe awards are shaping up to be a sure hit!

In preparation for this weekend’s Golden Globe Awards, the not-so-foreign press handed out awards at the 14th Annual Critic’s Choice Awards on Thursday.  The Danny Boyle directed critical darling Slumdog Millionaire took the most awards (five for those counting), including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay for writer Simon Beaufoy, Best Young Actor/Actress (Under 21) for Dev Patel and Best Composer for A.R. Rahman.

Actor Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight.  The film’s director, Christopher Nolan accepted the award for the deceased star.  “Anyone who’s seen any of the extraordinary work that Heath did knows that I can’t presume to speak for him in any way, because his voice was as unique as it was original,” said Nolan.  “But…I know that I speak for all of us when I say that working with him was one of the greatest experiences any of us ever had or probably ever will have.”  The Dark Knight also took the award for Best Action Movie.

The Best Actress Award came down to a tie with Anne Hathaway winning for Rachel Getting Married and her Devil Wears Prada co-star Meryl Streep winning for Doubt.
