Jenny McCarthy Confirms that Steven Seagal is a Creepy Guy

Steven Seagal’s show, ‘Lawman,’ was shut down amidst allegations that he trafficked women for sex, and sexually assaulted an ex-employee.  Well, Movieline certainly isn’t helping us believe his innocence.  They unearthed an old interview with Jenny McCarthy, in which she detailed a disturbing encounter that she had with Seagal while auditioning for a part in ‘Under Siege 2.’  According to McCarthy, he asked her to sit on the couch and take off her dress.  When she informed him that the role did not call for nudity, he once again told her to take off her dress.  She called him an asshole, ran out of the room, and he followed her to her car to tell her not to tell anyone what happened.  That story is extremely unsettling, but hats off to McCarthy for having the guts to expose him for it early on in her career.

Jim Carrey’s "People" Tell him to Lay off the Angry Tweets

Jim Carrey has been getting a lot of criticism lately since defending Tiger Woods on Twitter.  To be fair, he didn’t exactly defend Tiger, as much as he kicked Elin in the gut.  Too harsh?  Of Elin, he said “no wife if blind enough to miss that much infidelity.”  He later tried to save face, by tweeting that he doesn’t condone infidelity, though both parties share some degree of responsibility.  In addition to the outrage about the content of his posts, some of Carrey’s followers are concerned with how late he stays up at night, fearing he may be having a breakdown since his breakup with Jenny McCarthy.   All I have to say about this nonsense is that Twitter is the beginning of the end of Hollywood.  Celebrities are supposed to be these untouchable entities that leave us always wondering what they’re really thinking.  We aren’t supposed to find out that what they are actually thinking is a bunch of nonsensical bull shit. 

Jenny McCarthy Closes Autism School

Jenny McCarthy is shutting down Teach2Talk Academy. She co-founded the school with Sarah Scheflen in 2007, but is shutting it down after disagreements between them. She released a statement saying, “Jenny and her partner at the Academy, Sarah Scheflen, had different visions for the school and made a decision to go their separate ways. Both intend to continue on in this important mission.”  Does this mean that we are on the road to keeping Jenny McCarthy out of the autism talk show circuit.  Can’t she just go back to looking hot and stop all this ‘I know how to cure autism’ nonsense?     

Celebrity Gossip Review – Dish Catch up Time

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey announced the breakup of their 5 year relationship via twitter, less than two months after using twitter to declare their love for one another.  


Sandra Bullock has broken her silence to squash rumors of a sex tape between her and Jesse James.  What I find particularly interesting, is that this is the only rumor that she has come forward to squash.  I suppose it’s because it’s the only one that she is directly involved with.  I guess she won’t confirm or deny whether Jesse James is a nazi. 

Kate Gosselin responded to Jon’s custody petition by reminding everyone that she is appearing on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ to provide for her children.  You go girl!  It’s not like she can rely on Jon for financial support, considering he destroyed his public image, and I imagine laying brick won’t support 8 children.  

George Clooney debunked rumors that he and his non smiling girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, have split up, calling the story “made up.”

Matt Damon thinks marriage is a ridiculous idea, and doesn’t think it’s possible to spend your entire life with someone without being “totally driven crazy.”  He then said his wife is the best thing that ever happened to him.  Hmmm…..
