Gutar Hero went green

Guitar Hero just went green. At the recent CES convention, Activision announced that sales of Guitar Hero III have surpassed $1 billion, making it the 1st video game to ever reach the stunning ten-figure mark. More astounding is the fact that just one year ago, Activision announced that the Guitar Hero franchise as a whole passed the $1 billion mark, a figure that included every version of the game released since 2005. Having hit stores in the fall of 2007, Guitar Hero III accomplished the feat on its own in well under two years.

Activision publishing CEO Mike Griffith believes the news should put other media on alert. He said that movies, recorded music and TV - these are all stagnating or contracting entertainment sectors. Video games are poised to eclipse all other forms of entertainment in the decade ahead.

Now, Tayler Lautner has almost reached his goal of gaining 29 lbs. for the Twilight sequel, New Moon.

He has been working hard for 8 or 9 months, and he has put on about 26 pounds of muscle.
He's literally in the gym every single day for at least two hours a day., said the actor, 16.

"It's hard work, my motivation is basically my passion for the character of Jacob and the series. I want the fans to be proud of the movie, so I have to live up to Jacob."

Besides hitting the gym, he's trying to eat as much as possible. Basically he's supposed to eat everything he can and try to keep it lean. Lean meats and veggies.

Lautner will Return following weeks of questions about whether he could effectively portray his werewolf character, who grows a foot taller and looks 25 years old in the sequel. Most fans wanted Lautner back.

New Moon begins shooting later this year.

Angelina Jolie and Haters

Is it us or does it seem like Brad and Angelina are kinda slackers when it comes to serving as awards show presenters.

Big people like Tom Cruise and Kate Winsler aren't too proud to get up there and hand an award to a peer, so what is up with Brad and Angie?

Please don't tell us it's more of that pedestal polishing they have refined to a fine art.

Whitney Port is joining the world of celebrity

Whitney Port is joining the wonderful world of celebrity just fine. She flashed her breasts, she's blogging. She's one hospital stay away from being the next Lindsay Lohan...

"I'm sorry if they offended anyone but I got too caught up in the sunshine and the weather that I guess I wasn't as cautious as I should have been."

"Everyone knows the rough and tumble of the ocean mixed with a bathing suit—not the most attractive thing ever! So sorry for the view...very embarrassing to say the least! I guess all I can do now is laugh about it and move on!"

Audrina, Heidi and Lauren are not laughing. You think they like having their reality throne usurped? The end is nigh for those three. Heid's so desperate for some attention she went and got herself married. Laur's just about done trying, having given up fake dating for real-dating a nonmodel. Aud'd better "accidentally" have a wardrobe malfunction soon if she wants people to keep yakkin' about her.

Jennifer Garner gave birth to her second daughter

One week ago, Jennifer Garner gave birth to her 2nd daughter with Ben Affleck. The A-list couple, both 36, has announced the baby's name.

Please welcome Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck to the adorable celebuspawn roster.

The Baby Name Wizard defines it as derived from the Hebrew seraphim, a name used in the Bible for the heavenly winged angels surrounding the throne of God.

American "Idol" becomes idle

When Jordin Sparks was crowned "American Idol" 6th season champ back in the spring of 2007, we'd never watch the reality wreck again. Why? Let me count the waysBecause: She couldn't belt it out like Kelly Clarkson, she couldn't emote like Fantasia, and she couldn't captivate a crowd like Carrie Underwood.. And she was boring. We are too lazy and addicted to care what anyone thinks of us. "Idol" is our guiltiest pleasure, and we've come to embrace it. Because we're tuning in, doesn't mean that everyone else will join us on January 13 when Season 8 kicks off.

Last season the ratings dipped. Granted, an 8% decline isn't enough of a drop to freak out about, especially when more than 27 million people still tune in, but if the show doesn't deliver early on this year, more and more disgruntled fans might consider flipping the channel. So, what to do when "Idol" becomes idle?

Golden Globe Awards. Jolie-Pitt

Golden Globe Awards.

"Same as every morning: chaotic and messy!" Brad Pitt said on the red carpet.

He and Jolie were up for awards - Brad Pitt for his leading dramatic role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Angelina Jolie for her leading dramatic role in Changeling.

"We haven't even talked about it yet," he said.

The two went home empty-handed, they were affectionate throughout the show.

Golden Globe, Seacrest and Jolie. Eva Longoria.

On his Padio Show, Ryan Seacrest said out about Angelina Jolie dissing him on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards. Seacrest had gotten up next to the actress and beau Brad Pitt, hoping to score an interview on E!'s pre-show. "Hi, guys. Brad? Angelina?" he said. They ignored him.

"I don't think Angelina thinks I'm that important," Ryan said on his show. "I don't think I'm top of mind for them... I honestly don't believe they'd know who I was if I walked over there."

When guest Perez Hilton told Seacrest that that's impossible, as he hosts the No. 1 show American Idol, the TV personality shot back: "Yeah...but they live in France!"

A. Jolie and B. Pitt did stop for NBC's Billy Bush. Seacrest said, "there's an NBC deal there. NBC hosted the Globes, and they have a deal to talk to the people who come to the Globes.

"Here's what I realized when I went down there," Seacrest went on. "I realized quickly that it's against the rules to walk down onto the carpet from the platform.

"Then we went back down there and caught up with Tom Cruise , who I think is a terrific guy. I think he's really cool," he said. "By the way, have you seen his skin tone up close lately? You should!"

Seacrest clashed with Jolie before: At the 2006 Golden Globes, he asked her what she fed her children that day and she icily replied " Cereal we made cereal."

He later called her "cold" for being so unresponsive.

Turns out, Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, was on her death bed at the time.

Celebrity Gossips Crazy Blog - "Ugly" Departure

The one of Ugly Betty's main castmembers has asked to leave the ABC series. Producers are now planning to write her out (toward the end of this season). Another character is going to be killed off this season.

According to sources connected to the series, Ashley Jensen, who plays Betty's BFF Christina and is also well-known Extras fans, is the series regular who is expected to leave Ugly Betty this season.

Ashley asked to be released from her contract. The show's representative said that ABC does not comment on actors' contracts.

According to a source who works on the show, Ashley is not expected back as a series regular for Betty's 4th season in the fall. She's currently knocked up with Wilhelmina's spawn in order to get money to help save her husband's life. And anything is possible on this show.

As for the 2nd character who will be killed off, it's someone who just came on board this season. And no, despite the photo above it is not Judith Light...
