Hugh Hefner gets lifetime achievement award and talks up the Lindsay Lohan issue

It's congratulations to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner who has been given a lifetime achievement award at the Los Angeles Press Club’s fourth annual National Entertainment Journalism Awards Gala. The legendary 85-year-old was presented with the honour last Thursday in California.

Press Club President Will Lewis heaped praise on the Playboy editor-in-chief, insisting, “Hefner’s footprint on American popular culture is huge. For almost 60 years, Playboy has been on the leading edge in shaping positive attitudes on civil rights, gay rights, as well as human sexuality.”

In related news, the Hef touched on the upcoming January/ February 2012 edition of the magazine which will feature Lindsay Lohan in the buff.

"The pictorial is absolutely fantastic and very tasteful, and will be accompanied by an interview that will let readers see another side of Lindsay." Hugh Hefner seconds that, telling The Insider that the spread has a retro theme. "It's a classic tribute inspired by the original Tom Kelly nude pictorial of Marilyn Monroe, a portion of which was the original playmate in the very first issue of Playboy." Does she bare all? "Oh yes," Hef tells The Insider. "And classy, very classy."

Detectives are not blaming actor Robert Wagner for the death of Hollywood actress Natalie Wood after an investigation into her death 30 years ago has been reopened. The actress, who was married to Wagner, drowned in an accident back in 1981. The Telegraph reports:

The West Side Story star's death had been recorded as an accident but the captain of the yacht on which she was sailing has now come forward claiming he "lied" to detectives who were investigating the incident.

Dennis Davern, who was on-board the Splendour with Wood, her husband Robert Wagner and fellow actor Christopher Walken when the actress drowned on Thanksgiving weekend thirty years ago, told an US television channel that he blamed Wagner for her death.

There's an awesome video doing the rounds online at the moment from the geniuses over at FunnyOrDie.com. It's entitled When Harry Met Sally 2 and features Billy Crystal, Helen Mirren and one Mike Tyson. Yes, Mike Tyson. You can watch the entire video for the 'film' over here, but our fave is the cameo of Tyson, for which FOD have released an 'extended cut' of his scene. See that one below. Yep.

Wayne Rooney loses appeal against two match ban… says WHATEVER!

admin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 12:12:42 +0000

Wayne Rooney has lost his appeal against the two match ban that he was issued with following swearing at a camera during a match againstWest Ham United at the weekend. He will now miss this weekend's match against Fulham in the Premiership, and the F.A. Cup Semi-Final against rivals Manchester City. This is his response.

"Whatever, I have to accept that what's happened has happened and move on from here. That is what I intend to do."

A statement from the FA said:

"A Regulatory Commission has suspended Manchester United's Wayne Rooney for two matches. Rooney had admitted a charge for the use of offensive, insulting and/or abusive language, but claimed that the automatic penalty of two games was clearly excessive. The Commission did not accept the claim and Rooney will begin the standard two-match suspension with immediate effect."

Rihanna went to the toilet after hearing news of those nude pics hitting the web

admin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 12:07:11 +0000

Pop starlet Rihanna has been talking for the very first time about what/ how she felt when those very first images of her in her birthday suit hit the Internet. The snaps, featuring the pop star/ actress in all manner of positions, were apparently meant for the eyes of her then boyfriend Chris Brown's eyes only. Then they were leaked online. It looks like Rihanna was at an airport when she first heard the news of the world seeing her online in all of her glory.

“I could barely stand. I went to the first bathroom I saw and just sat in the stall with the door open. People kept coming in and staring at me sitting on the toilet bowl. I was mortified. I didn’t even want to leave the airport.”

Bless her. Personally I cannot bring myself to look at them.......

The Stone Roses are getting back together!

That's correct. You are indeed reading that headline right, Ian Brown and John Squire have buried the hatchet and are reforming the indie band that brought us hits like Fool's Gold... The boys apparently made up at the funeral of fellow band member Mani's mother. This comes from The Sun:

"Ian has been mulling over reaching out to John for a while now. A lot of water has gone under the bridge and everyone has grown up. Ian has just gone through a tough time with a divorce and then Mani's mum's funeral brought everyone back under the same roof.
"It was an emotional reunion, there were no harsh words. It was a heart-warming breaking of bread.

"They had a lot to catch up on and have been in regular contact since."

So, what do we think?

Katrina Bowden. You will like her

admin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 10:51:14 +0000

Katrina Bowden is relatively unknown over here in the UK. She has been a favourite in the US TV show 30 Rock, and here she is in all of her glory... with just a little pair of pants on. Now, there is little more to add to this post besides the fact that this was a shoot done for Esquire magazine, and comes via our friends at Hollywood Tuna. They have more images over at their website, which is awesome. The website... and the photos.

Mariah Carey… our dreams have been shattered

admin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 10:45:07 +0000

I ask myself why, oh why has Mariah Carey done this? By saying done this, I mean the abomination of a photo shoot above where she has litererally done a Demi and got her pregnant balloon out on the front of Life and Style Weekly magazine.

"I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn't want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience," Mariah told the magazine. "My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans."
