Jersey Shore Creates Outrage
Many Italian-Americans are not flattered by the MTV show that follows the lives of self-proclaimed "guidos" and "guidettes."
MTV’s Jersey Shore, with its fist pumping, puking, partying, and primping, may have been funny to watch for some viewers, but some people aren’t laughing: including Domino’s.
The major pizza chain has decided to pull all of its commercials from future episodes, presumably because of the way Italian-Americans are portrayed.
“The content of this particular program is not right for Domino’s Pizza,” a representative told TMZ.
Even though the eight young people on the show agreed to be featured as they are, and wholeheartedly embrace their guido-ness, many viewers and organizations are outraged.
UNICO National, the largest Italian American Service Organization in the USA, was one of the offended parties.
“I suffered through all 120 minutes of that show and it was worse than I imagined,” a representative for the group told TMZ. The spokesperson continued, “Italian Americans are outraged and they are helping us reach out to sponsors to ask them to stop advertising with MTV until they agree to pull ‘Jersey Shore.’"
Prior to even airing the show, MTV was already fielding a barrage of assaults about the stereotypical nature of the program. On Tuesday, two days before the show’s premiere, they issued a statement explaining the intent of the program.
“‘Jersey Shore’ is a reality series that follows eight young adults spending their summer at the beach. The show continues MTV’s history of documents various subcultures, rites of passage of young people, and they ways they self identify.”

Although he had been Rock Hudson's lover for several years, Marc Christian only learned the screen idol had contacted AIDS the same way the rest of he world did -- he saw it on the news. His own death was kept just as secret. Marc, who later reverted to using his full name, Marc Christian MacGinnis, died June 2, his sister has confirmed to the Los Angeles Times.
Christian and Hudson, 27 years his senior, became lovers in 1982 after meeting at a political fundraiser. Hudson kept his medical condition secret and the two continued to be intimate right up to Rock's ground-breaking announcement. Hudson died October 2, 1985.
Christian later successfully sued the Hudson estate and was awarded over $5 million with a judge ruling that the actor had shown "outrageous conduct" in putting Marc in a situation where he feared a "slow agonizing death."
Christian fortunately never did develop AIDS. He died from pulmonary problems caused by his heavy smoking, his sister told the L.A. Times.

| Jake Gyllenhaal Talks About "Girlfriend" Reese |
[05 Dec 2009|01:54pm] |
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon have always been relatively mum about their relationship but after rumors of a breakup hit the internet, Jake is hoping to clear up the rumors once and for all.
During a press conference in Beverly Hills for his upcoming movie Brothers, Jake referred to his "girlfriend" Reese and how her and her kids have become the center of his life.
"I've learned so much from the kids in my life, and somehow they just become the center of your life and the way you look at things," he told Grazia Australia.
He added, "Obviously I exist in my girlfriend's world and my sister's world in a different way, but it's opened my heart and I feel much more grown up and want to be grown up as a result of it."
Unfortunately that's all he would say about his recent rumored breakup. "As I get more famous, there is less that is just mine so I hope you understand I want to protect that as much as I can," he explained.
"I understand the news cycle, I really do, but as we all know news cycles come and go and I don't have to comment on them."
We're just glad to hear from the horse’s mouth that these two are still together, they make such an amazing couple, it would be a shame if it didn't work.

| 50 Cent: I Don't Trust Women |
[05 Dec 2009|01:43pm] |
When your net worth hovers around $500 million like 50 Cent's does, trust can become a big issue.
50 says he doesn’t trust women--because they only want him for his money.
“I haven’t had a girlfriend for a long time,” said 50, who’s worth over $500m. “It’s difficult to trust a woman.
“Women are attracted to men who offer security, financial security. And if you have money and you’re famous, women find that sexy.”
We don't blame him for having trust issues! Last year his ex Shaniqua Tompkins, who is also the mother of his child, sued him for $45 million dollars and according to 50, burned his Long Island home down.
You know what they say, more money more problems!

| Adam Lambert Gushes About Lady Gaga |
[05 Dec 2009|01:39pm] |
Adam Lambert recently spent some time in the studio with the one and only Lady Gaga and the experience was so amazing he literally can't stop gushing about her!
"Gaga! Working in the studio with Gaga was a trip," Lambert told MTV News about their collaboration.
"The Haus of Gaga came in at the end to say hi. She was just there. We were working with her and Jeff Bhasker and we recorded the song, and she egged me on and it was crazy."
When asked if he would love to join her on tour, he added, "If she'd have me, yeah, she's amazing," Adam said. "I have no clue [when that would happen]. I have not heard anything about that. I think she's going off solo right now. I think she's pretty amazing. I want to be at her show."
The real question is, who doesn't love Gaga? We've all gone gaga over gaga! Check out the clip of Adam gushing over Gaga below...
