Michael Bay Fires Megan Fox on ‘Transformers 3’ – Did She Want to be Fired?!

Michael Bay decided not to exercise Megan Fox’s option on the third Transformers movie, and Hollywood is abuzz that her career is basically over. My take? She wanted to be sacked. Michael Bay joins Brett Ratner on my list of director douchebags in Hollywood, and Fox had no qualms about publicly exposing this. She made the press rounds insulting Michael Bay, often calling him a tyrant, and equating him to Hitler. She was portrayed as an ungrateful newcomer for doing so, but she isn’t the first. Bruce Willis also went on the record to insult Michael Bay (who he worked with on ‘Armageddon’). When asked if Michael Bay would make a good director for Die Hard 4, Willis said that Bay would have “ruined” the movie, and that “few people will work with him now, and [Willis] will never work with him again.”  Perhaps Megan Fox didn’t want to undergo more torture so she came up with a crafty way to get the shit can. 

Jonathan Alperyrie is Whitney Port’s Mysterious French Photographer on ‘The City’

After scouring the internet for way too long, I discovered the name of the steamy French photographer that shot Whitney Port’s look book on last night’s ‘The City.’  His name is Jonathan Alpeyrie, and I’ve listed his website below.  I dedicated such an insane amount of time locating his name because . . . well, I’m pretty shallow and he’s very good looking.  Aside from that, he really is talented.  I hope that Whitney will come to her senses and go on another date with the guy, but after seeing her eyes glaze over when he brought up a heavy subject involving something other than clothes and glitter, I imagine she’ll stay uninterested.  Sigh – perhaps she’ll find someone she has more in common with.

Desperate Housewives Spoiler: Kyle MacLachlan is Leaving the Show

This news certainly shocked me.  Kyle MacLachlan or “Orson Hodge” will be leaving ‘Desperate Housewives’ after four seasons with the show.  If you watch ‘Desperate Housewives’, you might have noticed that his character is extremely under-used, so either he was fired because Marc Cherry couldn’t dream up a compelling story-line, or he asked to leave because he felt creatively stifled.  Either way, I’m disappointed.  Perhaps it’s my love for ‘Sex and the City’ that attached me to his character, but its always upsetting when a series regular leaves the show. 

Angelina Leaves ‘Jersey Shore’ House

It looks like we can expect the new season of ‘Jersey Shore’ to deliver the drama.  In a repeat of Season 1, Angelina has left the house.  Apparently, the entire cast hates her and doesn’t understand why she was invited back for the second season.  This might be the reason for her exit.  I guess we’ll have to wait to find out.

Gossip Girl Executive Producer Confirms Taylor Momsen Was Crying Real Tears

Gossip Girl Executive Producer Stephanie Savage sat down with Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly to discuss the shocking season finale.  When asked if it was Taylor Momsen’s tears or Jenny Humphrey’s, Savage confirmed that it was Momsen’s real tears.  “That’s what it really looks like if a girl with raccoon eyes cries that much,” she said. “There was nothing we could do.”  She also confirmed that Momsen would return to the show at some unspecified point.  Ausiello didn’t ask the one plaguing question though: was it a creative or personal decision to write Jenny Humphrey off the show?  I’m guessing that they kicked her out to give her some time to get her life together, as she looks extremely emaciated and out of it on the show lately.  I could be wrong though.  I’ve attached an older picture of Taylor Momsen so you can get a feel for the “before and after” I keep referencing.  

Jimmy Kimmel Throws Howard Stern an A-List Party – Hilarity Ensues

Howard Stern spent the weekend in Los Angeles while promoting his wife’s book (‘Oh My Dog’), and Jimmy Kimmel decided to throw him a welcome party.  Kimmel appeared on Stern today to discuss the party, and it was some of Stern’s most hilarious radio yet.  My favorite detail involved an argument between John Stamos and Mark McGrath, where Stamos got angry with “musician” McGrath for his inability to play any songs for their shitty house band ensemble.  Stern insists that Stamos’ anger was unfounded, because at least everyone could play the song ‘Louie Louie’.  Stamos also gave both Kimmel and Stern shit for not inviting Don Rickles, who was peeved at both Kimmel and Stern for the oversight.  Oh yeah – Jeff Probst left in a tizzy because of Stern’s inappropriate attempt to interview him about his new girlfriend at the party.  Other celebrity guests included: Ben Stiller; Christine Taylor; Natalie Maines; Ryan Phillipe; Will Arnett; Amy Poehler; Christa Miller; Bill Lawrence; Bob Iger; Ashton Kutcher; and Demi Moore.  I’ve got to become friends with Jimmy Kimmel in time for the next Howard Stern party.  Knowing Stern though, he probably won’t return to Los Angeles for another 15 years.  Watch Beth Stern promote her book on Kimmel below.
