Actor Tim Allen's latest project is not only a starring vehicle for the funnyman, but also his directorial debut! He says of the film Crazy on the Outside:
"I've got a lot on the line here. I financed this thing — private financing. I used Kevin Costner's model. He helped me through this — on how to direct it, how to put it out…I really worked hard to make it special."
Allen asked his friends to be a part of the movie and Sigourney Weaver, Ray Liotta, Julie Bowen and Kelsey Grammer all star in the film alongside Tim who has the lead role as a man newly released from prison adjusting to life outside of jail.
Earlier this month, Allen was promoting Crazy on the Outside, performing stand-up comedy before special screenings in 10 cities across the country.
As for Crazy on the Outside he says:
"Two years of my life I put together a movie. Please sit back and enjoy it. If you love it, tell everybody. If you don't like it, tell everybody that it's the new Tom Hanks movie."
No offense, Tim, but we're WAY more excited for Toy Story 3!

Despite its initial popularity, Comedy Central's The Jeff Dunham Show will not be coming back for a second season.
The show's debut brought in 5.3 million viewers, but the reviews were dismal and ratings continued to dwindle.
Spokesman for the network, Steve Albani, says that Comedy Central will continue "to be in business with Jeff in a big way," as they signed a mulit-platform deal with him in March including a live tour, standup special and DVDs.
Good riddance.

Denise Richards got defensive on her Twitter today after the media accused her of taking her children to the park to bank on a photo op.
Some said she was trying "to make a statement about how she’s doing in comparison to her ex", Charlie Sheen.
Denise got pissed and took to her Twitter to assure herself her fans that she was merely spending a normal afternoon with her girls. She wrote:
“for all the negative nellies out there, I DID not have a f..ing photo op with my kids at a park when there is drama u get followed more

| Brittany Murphy's Death Certificate |
[29 Dec 2009|11:15pm] |

http://perezhilton.com/2009-12-29-brittany-murphys-death-certificate 
The death certificate of Brittany Murphy has just been released and there are a few things we found rather strange.
Because the L.A. County Coroner is awaiting the toxicology and tissue tests, the manner of death box is check as "pending investigation." It's usually marked as accident, natural, homicide, suicide and undetermined.
Now, that doesn't so much bother us as what else was omitted from the document, like her father's name! The death certificate lists the father as "UNKNOWN."
What?! Why?!
Could this have something to do with why he didn't attend the funeral?
Sad.

| ScarJo: A Homebody In The New Year! |

http://perezhilton.com/2009-12-29-scarjo-a-homebody-in-the-new-year 
Actually, she's one now!
Since she's a married woman, Scarlett Johansson has no desire to spend New Year's Eve at a party, so she intends to stay at home with her hubby, Ryan Reynolds.
The actress says:
"We're both working on New Year's Day anyway. So, we won't do much. You know, pizza would be nice, a little champagne. Maybe watch the Twilight Zone marathon. That's always a favorite for me. Going from one party to the next and surfing to find the right thing, and being in a taxicab when the clock strikes - I'm so over that stuff. At the ripe old age of 25. I have the most fun when I'm surrounded by people I love in one place that's comfortable and we can hear each other. You can play card games, watch movies - I'm happy."
We'd be happy too if we were sitting at home with your hubby!
Yum!

| Charlie Sheen's Got Some Weird Ink |
[29 Dec 2009|10:15pm] |

http://perezhilton.com/2009-12-29-charlie-sheens-got-some-weird-ink 
Out of everything that's happening between Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller, this is probably the weirdest shiz to come out.
It seems that Charlie aka Carlos Irwin Estevez has an eclectic collection of tattoos.
In fact he's got 10!
The tattooed sitcom star sports a 'Back in 15 Min' sign on his chest, a picture of Charlie Brown with the word 'mom' in a thought bubble, a burning Marlboro cigarette (clASSy), a stingray, and a baseball.
But it seems he's not a fan of at least four of the other tats because he's getting an open zipper with an eyeball popping out (wtf?!?), a Yankees tattoo, a Japanese samurai, and angel wings that are on his ankles removed.
At least this time he didn't get Brooke's name permanently etched into his skin like he did when he was married to Denise Richards because he'd probably have to get that removed too!

| Latin America Recognizes First Same-Sex Marriage! |
[29 Dec 2009|10:00pm] |

http://perezhilton.com/2009-12-29-latin-america-recognizes-first-same-sex-marriage 
Alex Freyre and Jose Maria di Bello were wed on Monday in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, but it was no easy task. One month prior, a Buenos Aires court claimed that it would not recognize their marriage.
"As a couple, we dreamed of marrying for a long time," said Freyre.
Although a court decided that a ban on same-sex marriage was illegal, it is up to the local and state governments to decide for themselves. And that is why the pair married on the very Southern tip of Argentina - a very liberal governor welcomed the union.
Argentina's National Institute Against Xenophobia and Racism (INADI) helped find the friendly location where the couple could marry.
"This is the purpose of INADI, to safeguard the rights of citizens who do not fully enjoy these rights," said the institute's president, Claudio Morgado.
Latin America tends to strongly identify with the Catholic Church, yet has been paying more attention to gay rights. Uruguay just legalized same-sex adoption, Mexico City has legalized same-sex marriage and Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador are addressing same-sex civil unions.
"The law should treat each person with equal respect in relation to each person's singularities without the need to understand or regulate them," said Judge Gabriela Seijas in her ruling to lift the ban on gay marriage in Buenos Aires.
It's about time! Equal rights for all!

| Paramore On Writing Lockdown! |

http://perezhilton.com/2009-12-29-paramore-on-writing-lockdown 
Amidst rumors last year that the band might breakup, Paramore gave themselves "a chance to get away and work out our personal issues" and now they are back!
In order to write their album Brand New Eyes, the band moved into a Malibu house together and even underwent counseling sessions to keep them together.
Lead singer, Hayley Williams, divulged:
"I was really scared and I didn't know, as friends, what the guys were going to think, but I was positive. I looked at it like, 'Well, if anything we're going to have a bunch of really good songs that tell a story.' I had faith that things would be better. Once we got to Malibu (to make Brand New Eyes), we lived in a house together and that was the first time we'd lived in a house together since we made (2007 album) Riot! So we were away from home and didn't really have a choice but to hang out with each other, and so we started to talk more and more. Everything felt like it was mending up until the last few days in the studio and by that point we were great, and it felt like we didn't really have anything to work out in the first place."
Phew! Good think it worked out!

| Jon's Lawyer Can Prove He Didn't Stage Burglary! |
[29 Dec 2009|09:30pm] |

http://perezhilton.com/2009-12-29-jons-lawyer-can-prove-he-didnt-stage-burglary 
Turns out there's a security tape that shows Jon Gosselin entering his NYC apartment for only 60 seconds before he came out and reported the burglary.
And per the douche's lawyer, that's enough proof that the burglary was not staged and Hailey Glassman did it!
“He is going to be clocked by that surveillance camera going into his building,” said attorney Mark Heller. After only 60 seconds, “he comes down to talk to management. It’s all on tape. He couldn’t have done all that damage in 60 seconds. His place was trashed, his belongings ripped to shreds.”
Homewrecking Hailey was questioned by police and admitted that she did remove items from the apartment, but only things which were hers, including a TV. But that's not what Jon's lawyer thinks.
“She’s probably going to have a list of things she said he said she could take,” Heller said. “Well, let me tell you, we will have credit card statement and receipts proving Jon bought the items she is carrying out the door. And we will say in a sworn affidavit that he (Jon) didn’t authorize her to take the TV and other items that belong to him. Once they (investigators) see the video it will be a felony.”
Such a douche!
HELLer continues, “The forensics evidence will back up the vandalism. She (Hailey) is looking at felony charges in my opinion. She is looking at four years. And if she is convicted she is definitely doing jail time. I don’t know that she will do four years, but she will do jail time."
Snooze.
"I mean taking a butcher knife and cutting expensive items, breaking a family heirloom… give me a break. – I don’t know how you can cut her slack," he yapped. “The damage is in the thousands. There is no way she can walk away without severe penalty.”
Somewhere nearby, Kate Gosselin is laughing it up.

http://perezhilton.com/2009-12-29-wicked-sets-broadway-record 
During last week's bustling tourist season, the Great White Way brought in a staggering amount of $$$$$.
Wicked was the most impressive, raking in $2,092,745 and beating its Thanksgiving record of the top grossing week in the history of the Rialto.
Coming in right behind was The Lion King with $1,714,566, The Phantom of the Opera with $1,248,943, Shrek the Musical bringing in $1,055,261 and the revival of A Little Night Music with $985,662.
Not to mention, In the Heights increased their house by 53% and the new hit Fela! climbed by 22%.
Pretty impressive considering the recession! Plus, the theater makes everyone forget their problems!

| Jersey Shore's Snooki Wants To Be The Next Flavor Flav! |
[29 Dec 2009|08:00pm] |
|
http://perezhilton.com/2009-12-29-jersey-shores-snooki-wants-to-be-the-next-flavor-flav 
And she is well on her way!
In a new interview with OK! magazine, the Jersey Shore's Snooki (aka Nicole Polizzi) talks about the show, her future, her "tan" and the punch seen around YouTube.
Here are just a few of the HIGHlights from her interview:
What do you say to people who think the show is derogatory toward Italians?
People need to relax. It’s just young people having a good time at the Shore. We want to have fun, and yeah, we get drunk. It’s just a TV show.
Whose style [on the show] do you most admire?
Jenni’s because she has those big, fake boobs and can wear anything. Mine are real! You want to see them?
How often do you tan?
I really don’t tan because I’m half-Spanish so I’ve got that year-round tan. I was adopted.
How was it working with your housemates at the T-shirt shop?
I hated it! It was two or three days a week, for four or five hours, but it felt like 24. I never worked, I just stood there. We had SoCo [Southern Comfort] in the back; I’d take shots.
What would you like to say to the man who punched you?
You’re the loser of America! He’ll always be known as the guy who punched a little girl.
What’s next for Snooki?
I want a dating show — Snookin’ For Love. I want to find my prince. I’d have 27 guys: guidos and juice heads. That’d be heaven! Every time I’d pick a guy, I’d give them a pickle and we’d eat the pickle at the end.
Chances are, she'll probably get her wish, minus the pickle part. Wonder if the state of New Jersey will lose its shiz over this show too!
Would U watch a dating show starring Snooki?
