Khloe Kardashian Addresses Her Haters

 Khloe Kardashian Addresses Her Haters

She’s never been one to stay silent about anything and Khloe Kardashian recently addressed her “haters” online.

“I am a small confused as to why people who ‘despise’ me so much follow my every go and know every last thing about me (whether it’s fact or fiction). It’s amusing to me how these so called ‘haters’ can sit behind a computer screen and all of a sudden have courage,” said the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star.

“I most likely have seen many of you in person before and you have never said these things to my face,” she continued. “This is because you are a coward. You don’t have the guts. You are the ones that when we come face to face can only stutter compliments.”

Turning the negative into a positive, Khloe also posted, “Thank you for the ratings you give me on BOTH of my TV shows because based on the comments you leave on my page, it’s clear that you watch,” she wrote. “So thank you to my haters! You truly are making me better. God bless. I hope you are proud of yourself. I am proud of you!”

"Going the Distance" Earns Well-Received Reviews

 "Going the Distance" Earns Well Received Reviews

It’s been one of the most anticipated films this month, and it sounds like “Going the Distance” is going straight to the top of the box office.

The film involves Erin (Drew Barrymore) and Garrett (Justin Long) who meet during Erin’s internship in New York City, but once the internship ends and Erin heads back to California the couple is forced to deal with the struggles of a long-distance relationship.

The reviews have been on the positive side for the most part, as Michael O’Sullivan from The Washington Post wrote, “Drew Barrymore and Justin Long make one cute couple. Whether or not the actors’ on-again-off-again real-life romance helped their performances as lovers frustrated by geography — he’s in Manhattan, she’s in San Francisco — it’s clear they have chemistry. E.T.’s girlfriend and the Mac Guy ooze a laid-back, goofy charm through their pore-less skin. They’re a modern-day Hepburn and Grant.”

Another critic told, “’Going the Distance’ is by no means perfect, but it’s light years beyond the average rom-com, bracingly honest and genuinely amusing about the ups and downs of relationships. Barrymore and Long, once a real-life couple and now who-knows-what, have a real chemistry that complements their well-written, realistic characters, and even when the movie falls apart around them in the third act, we root for these two crazy kids and their shot at romance. They elevate the tale beyond its more flawed moments, but really, ‘Going the Distance’ is pretty special all on its own.”

Vivid Video, the future of Hollywood?

Vivid Video, the future of Hollywood?HMG Celebrity News – The much-hyped sex debut of Montana Fishburne has shown many observers how much the sex industry has grown in both profile and power in just over ten years. And Vivid Entertainment CEO, Steven Hirsch is on top of the pile.

Formed in 1984, Vivid’s growing range of porn parodies and celebrity sex tapes now pulls in over $100-million a year, in an industry with annual grosses of around $13-billion. That outstrips even Hollywood, which averages just $10.6-billion.

Vivid gained, and keenly protects its place at the top of this highly competitive, absurdly lucrative game by working in league with the tabloids and selling celebrity sex tapes that are often wildly hyped and promoted by TMZ.

“We’ve done celebrities for years but have recently bought more as public appetite has increased,” Hirsch told the Reporter. “The days of generic adult films are gone because there are so many websites for that stuff.”

Montana Fishburne’s debut DVD is a perfect example of Vivid’s methods – launched in a firestorm of manufactured scandal they sold 25,000 disks in three weeks at $45 a box, earning Steve’s group over $1-million. And they’re still counting.

And the impassable line that used to separate Hollywood from the porn world has now been so blurred that former porn stars like Riley Steele (from ‘Piranha 3D’) and Sasha Grey (’Entourage’) have made new careers in the ‘respectable’ media.

“The media and consumers like this stuff!” oozes one porn-business source. “Paris didn’t lose anything, and Kim Kardashian escalated her fame.”

And with so much cash rolling in you can bet the voyeurs at Vivid are a long way from done – Next on their sales list of sleaze is a XXX version of Superman, and porn-flavored rip-offs of movies like Grease, the 1971 Stanley Kubrick classic ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ and even ‘The Godfather.’

The mind honestly reels…

American Pie actor Chris Klein gets off pretty lightly on second DUI offense

Chris KleinHMG Celebrity News – Chris Klein has gotten off with the minimum for a second DUI offender — 96 hours in jail (time he has already served), after he was busted again on suspicion of driving while drunk.

This time around Chris was caught at 3.13am on the 101 Freeway near Sherman Oaks, where the police report says he was;

“Observed weaving from the #3 lane into the #2 and #4 lane, westbound at Woodman Ave.”

Chris’s blood-alcohol level at .24 was pretty much three times the legal limit of ‘.08′.  Chris was arrested in 2004 for the same reasons, and was eventually convicted of DUI. He could have received up to 1 year in jail this time, but the judge recognized he had taken steps to get better by checking into a rehab clinic where he stayed for 2 months, nearly immediately after his arrest. Still he will be under probation for the next 4 years and and is required to drive a car with an alcohol interlock device.

Best known as “Oz” from 1999’s ‘American Pie,’ the Illinois native has featured in several more films, and also has the unwelcome distinction of being the man whom Katie Holmes dumped in 2005 after five years together to marry Tom Cruise.

“Machete” Garners Positive Reviews on Opening Day

 “Machete” Garners Positive Reviews on Opening Day

It has plenty of star power and hype to be a hit film, and now “Machete” also has the reviews to back it all up.

The Robert Rodriguez flick has a killer combination of action, wit, and humor that has critics lauding with praise, despite a modest projected opening weekend take.

One review states, “Danny Trejo plays the long-haired, craggy-faced titular Machete with a combination of swift ferocity and baleful kindliness. And the ladies like it. … Trejo invests his character with an engaging blend of swagger, gravity and terse humor. When Alba’s INS agent instructs him to contact her, he snarls, ‘Machete don’t text.’ It’s an instant catchphrase.”

And another critic wrote, “Rest assured that the political satire and commentary merely provide backdrop for flying bullets, swinging blades, spurting arteries, naked babes and tough-guy one-liners (“Machete don’t text” is tattoo-worthy). The film takes absolutely wild-eyed delight in viscera, gore and grotesquerie (to wit, one poor fellow’s intestine is used as an escape rope, while another man is quite explicitly crucified). … You can’t always count on Rodriguez to get the balance of lunacy, competence and coherence right. But here he more or less gives you exactly what you were looking for: 100 or so minutes as bloody, excessive and ridiculous as those initial 150 or so seconds.”
