It was reported a while ago that Michelle Obama invited the cast to ‘Glee’ to perform at the White House Easter Egg Roll. Watch video of the performance below.

Slash on Axl Rose: "I Know How Vehemently he Hates me"
Slash stated in a recent interview that he would welcome having a conversation with Axl Rose, but he doubts it would happen because he knows how “vehemently he hates [him].” He went on to say that he thinks Rose’s comeback record was phenomenal. Aww….so cute. Maybe we have a reunion in the works. After all, Rose’s anger toward Slash costs him the hundreds of millions of dollars that he would earn with a real ‘Guns N’ Roses’ reunion. It’s time to get the original guys together!!
Judge Throws out Shareholder Lawsuit Against Marvel and Stan Lee
A federal judge dismissed the case against Marvel Entertainment, Inc and Stan Lee. The issue surrounding the lawsuit began in 1988, when Stan Lee transferred rights to the Marvel characters to Walt Disney Co. The judge ruled that the shareholders bringing the lawsuit lacked standing to sue, as they acquired their shares in 1999, which is a year after conduct in question occurred. He also said that the shareholders waited too long to enforce their rights, because they sued more than 10 years after the transfer.
Olivia Newton-John’s Ex-Boyfriend – FOUND ALIVE!?
I am not sure what to believe. It’s being reported that Newton-John’s ex-boyfriend, Patrick McDermott, has been found in a Mexican sleeping village and just “wants to be left alone.” He disappeared amidst financial troubles in 2005, days after he and Newton-John ended their 9 year relationship. It’s believed that he’s been working as a ship’s mate on a tourist yacht ever since. If it’s true that he’s been found, ‘Dateline’ will probably get the credit. They hired a private investigator to track him, who reported finding him not too long ago, but no one, including Newton-John believed it. I’ll believe it when I see him sitting down with Barbara Walters.
Oprah Talks Animal Sex on Discovery’s ‘Life’
Whenever a show discusses animal sex, I curl up on my couch with a big bowl of popcorn and then spend my entire next day annoying my friend’s with lots of stories about how animals do it. So it’s fair to say that this new series is right up my alley. Click on the links below so you too can have a great water cooler discussion.

Emma Thompson Auditioned for Sharon Stone’s Role in ‘Basic Instinct’
This surprised me. Apparently, Emma Thompson lost the lead role in ‘Basic Instinct’ to Sharon Stone. I just can’t picture Thompson sexing it up as Catherine Tramell. The film catapulted Sharon Stone into a Box Office star, and went on to gross $117 million (which is a very big deal in 1992). I also heard rumors that Meg Ryan was offered the lead role, but turned it down because she didn’t want to do the sex scenes. Meg Ryan has yet to confirm that though.
Courtney Cox Refused to use a Body Double on ‘Cougar Town’
Courtney Cox admits that she refused to use a body double on her new show ‘Courgar Town,’ because wanted to “show the real side of 40.” Ummm…..what? Does Courtney Cox represent the real side of anything? Her body is incredible and looks better than most 20 year olds. I find it funny that she acts like showing herself in a bra and underwear was a huge sacrifice.
‘When You’re Strange’ – New Documentary on ‘The Doors’ Debuts April 9th
I confess I never really understood the appeal of ‘The Doors.’ I knew a lot of guys that had Jim Morrison’s poster on their wall, but I just never got it. Then I went to Paris and saw Morrison’s grave, and, at the very least, I understood the amount of love people had for Morrison. The interest in the group doesn’t seem to wane, and this new documentary reflects that. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January of 2009, to great reviews. The only complaint involved the narration, so Johnny Depp was brought on to re-narrate the film. This is not the first film about the group. Oliver Stone directed a Doors biopic in 1991, but fans complained that it was historically inaccurate. Unlike Stone’s biopic, it seems that writer/director Tom DiCillo got his facts straight. See the trailer below.
Erykah Badu Likes to Frighten Little Children by Stripping Down Naked
I am a little late in reporting this story, but after hearing about it, I could not resist. Erykah Badu stripped down naked at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, while shooting her new music video for her song ‘window seat.’ She then pretended to get shot in the head at the exact site where JFK was shot (no I did not make this up). The problem is that she did this in a public place, with little children around. She has since been charged with disorderly conduct and ordered to pay a fine. Surprisingly, most of the public outrage surrounds her disrespecting JFK, and not her running around naked in public. Had she rubbed two brain cells together, she could have shot the video with her clothes on, and later altered it to make her appear naked. I’m sure that would destroy the “art” behind the video though. Watch it below at your own risk.
