Good Afternoon procrastinators!  Shouldn't you guys be doing work or something?  Eh, I should be too... oh wait, I am.  THE DISH COMIN' ATCHA!

Vanessa Hudgens: The Dark Side

No, Vanessa is not undergoing Sith Lord traning.  Rather, Ms. Hudgens is giving up her cute, debating high school musical antics, and is going to be decked out from head to toe in black in her next role.  She is playing an "emo rocker" who is the lead singer of a band.  She's co-starring in the film with Actress Lisa Kudrow (Friends) and Scot Porter (Friday Night Lights)

I think she can pull off the all-black just fine.

Tyra Banks:  Posing as Michelle Obama?

It seems as if the entertainment world is all over this election.  This time though, I can't really tell if this is in support of the Obama campaign or if Tyra Banks is trying to get into politics. 

The photos are to appear in the September issue of Harper Bazaar.

Morgan Freeman:  Doing Alright

Our favorite superhero technician is doing just fine post-surgery.  Sources say that the surgery to reconnect Freeman's nerves and repair damage done to his arm and hand took about 4 ½ hours last night.  It is also on record that he is walking ok, and should be released from the hospital in a few days.

 

It's good to hear that he's alright, because these Batman stars keep finding themselves on the wrong side of situations.

Nikki Blonsky vs Bianca Gordon: Who's your money on?

Nothing like a good ol' cat fight, right?  Well apparently this was less of a fight, and more of a beatdown.  See what had happened was, Bianca Gordon of America's Next Top Model was trying to get a seat in the departure lounge of a New York Airport.  There was luggage on the only available seats, so as anyone would do, they moved the bags and sat down.  The luggage belong to big bruiser known as Nikki Blonsky, and after the removal, the fighting began!  Elaine Clinton-Golden, the mother of the model, reported that she had been "repeatedly punched and kicked all over."  Atrocious in my eyes!

 

Can you imagine that pretty face being up a mother?  (Just the face, I wouldn't wanna get in a fight with blonsky either)

Dr. Dre:  The DETOX is coming...

So Lil' Wayne's "The Carter III" was anticipated.  Nas's "Untitled" was anticipated.  But Dr. Dre's "Detox" might set records along the lines of anticipation.  The veteran hip-hop producer and rapper is on the record for saying that the album is finished.  He blames his "perfectionist" ways for the delay.  He's also got anyone who's anyone on the roster for the album, which is due sometime near the end of the year. 

You can put me on the record for saying that the previously anticipated hip hop albums will not turn hip-hop back around.  Lil' Wayne's is too conceited and Nas's is very socially charged.  While both albums are great albums, count on Detox to mark the restoration of hip-hop back to it's normal ebb and flow.

Well that is all for the dish.  Until later, good people.

So, I was at my cousins' house yesterday and after dinner they were in a hurry to watch the 2008 Teen Choice Awards on FOX.  I felt so old...and it wasn't because I wasn't a teen anymore, I think it has to do more with the new faces.  I remember when I watched the awards show...back when I was a teenager, David Spade was the host

and Nsync was still together. 

Anyways, now there are presenters such as Vanessa Hudgens, (who is AWFUL at improv, btw) and her confused boyfriend, Zach Effron, and Disney Princess, MILEY CYRUS was the host. 

But it's funny how Adam Sandler still wins for Best Comedian, who is at least twice the age of the other nominees in the category.  I'm glad some things, never change.

So what was cool about the show?  Or from the small portion that I watched?  So for awhile now, there has been an ultimate online dance battle between ACDC (director and co-star of Step Up 2)

and the M&M Crew (Miley and her bff). 

And they had a final battle at the adolescents' award show.  ACDC totally won, in my opinion.  But of course, the teeny boppers didn't know who they were, so they were just ecstatic for Miley.  Lame. 

Maybe I'm just being bitter because Miley's not even 16 yet and she's going to be a billionnaire soon...and what am I doing with my life?  I'm blogging about her.  You win, Miley.  You win.

Intern, old, saggy, fogie Lisa is out.

P.S.

Morgan Freeman is A.O.K

Oh thank God, (Pun intended, get it? Because he played God in Bruce Almighty....oh nevermind) Morgan Freeman is doing alright after his major accident on Sunday.  He broke his elbow and arm, and injured his shoulder, but his PR rep reports that he is doing well.  No worries, fans.

Hello World!  Hope you didn't miss us too much over the weekend, but we're back with some Juicy gossip that is sure to kick your week off right! 

Ali Lohan: Following in her sis's footsteps

It starts off with a few dabs of make-up in the Lohan Family and Aliana is all dolled up in this picture below.  She's also been auditioning for porno directors, and making scenes at parties.  I think it has a lot to do with the quote in the lower right corner, which is hilarious to me.

Expect a future full of alcohol and drug addictions, because those are the "right things" in Lindsay's eyes.

Brangelina: The Babies are OUT!!

Well, I guess the babies have been "out" for a while.  But now the pictures have been released.  And what do they look like?   Well... babies of course.  Yeah, I was expecting them to look like millions of dollars too, since that's what was paid for them. 

They should at least some sort of shiny aura around them or something.  Man I'm disappointed.

Ben Affleck: Tippin' ain't easy!

Mr. Affleck is too hot of a commodity to be caught tipping in the normal public matter.  So instead, he decides to catch his limousine driver off-guard.

I gotta start hanging out with this guy!

Gwyneth Paltrow:  Backing Obama from Abroad

How nice of Gwyneth to lead an ad encouraging the kids who used to live in the US to vote in our election.  The ad consists of her and others from different parts of the world stating that you can vote in the American election regardless of where you live now.  As far as who she's going to vote for, it's pretty evident in the last few seconds.

Does McCain have anybody backing him in other countries?  Hmm...

Well that about wraps up today's episode of "The Dish!"  Stay tuned for more...
