Kim Kardashian celebrity scandal brews over her photo on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine in Turkey?

[Apr. 12]

Believe who you want but Kim Kardashian herself is saying that she is honored — not upset or appalled — over being featured as the cover model of Cosmopolitan in Turkey. The reality television celebrity is of Armenian descent and has long harbored ill feelings toward the Turkish government for the massacre and treatment of her people, but the modern Turkish culture is actually embracing Armenians more freely in the 21st century. That Cosmopolitan magazine, a worldwide organization, felt comfortable enough to put Kim Kardashian on the cover of their latest fashion magazine knowing that Genocide Remembrance Day falls during the month her edition will be on news stands is a bold statement, one that humbled the green celebrity.

Showbiz Spy reported (via Kim Kardashian herself by blog) the following celebrity quotes:

“Cosmopolitan magazine has a number of international editions all around the world that run in various territories, and when I did this shoot for the international covers I had no idea that Turkey was planning to run my story on their cover THIS month, considering Genocide Remembrance Day is this month.

“My Armenian heritage means a lot to me and I’ve been brought up to be incredibly proud of my family’s background and culture so as an Armenian-American woman it is a huge honor for me to be on the first ever Armenian Cosmopolitan cover.

“I have an amazing relationship with Cosmopolitan Magazine. World-over, Cosmo is known as a fun and inspiring magazine for women of all races, shapes, sizes, regardless of their political beliefs and I really hope that if I can bring awareness to the issue, then this in an accomplishment.”

While other sources who apparently don’t follow Kim Kardashian online have been frantically reporting the first part of her quote and claiming Kim Kardashian is proud of her heritage, they made the misstep in logic by assuming she was appalled by Cosmo not telling her she would be on the cover of the Turkey Cosmopolitan magazine.

Kim Kardashian is not about promoting hostility and division. She is not about hating a people because of their origin or nationality. She is about bringing a sense of freedom and empowerment to women worldwide.

As a green celebrity, Kim Kardashian has spent an enormous amount of time helping promote ideas of natural beauty being from the inside out.

Congrats on the cover, Kim — it’s a real beauty.

Celebrity Scandal: Dennis Quaid drug addiction shocking Hollywood confession?

Celebrity Scandal!

Actor Dennis Quaid made a startling candid confession about Hollywood culture to the press about cocaine use and drug addiction?

[Apr. 10]

The Big Easy actor Dennis Quaid has opened up about his former cocaine addiction. But the story he tells is remarkable in itself, though unsurprising. The green celebrity actor reveals that Hollywood hands the stuff out like candy. In fact, Dennis Quaid said in an interview with Newsweek, cocaine was practically a part of the job — a perk if you will for actors requiring long hours, many retakes, and pressure to get it done quickly and correctly for teeming audiences looking to see the next star.

From Newsweek:

Cocaine was even in the budgets of movies, thinly disguised. It was petty cash, you know? It was supplied, basically, on movie sets because everyone was doing it. People would make deals. Instead of having a cocktail, you’d have a line. So it was insidious, the way it snuck up on everybody.

Cocaine has become a huge problem for many star celebrities. Charlie Sheen, ousted star of Two and a Half Men has admitted to doing a seven gram rock in a single sitting, not to mention his problem with alcohol. Then there is Paris Hilton, who was busted last year on cocaine possession charges. Gary Busey, now on Celebrity Apprentice nearly died of a cocaine overdose in 1995. Then there’s also Whitney Houston, Kate Moss, and Robert Downey, Jr., all with cocaine problems. There are countless more as well. Call them The Cocaine Fiends if you like (worth checking out; it’s pretty funny).

So green celebrity Dennis Quaid certainly is not the only one drug addiction. Countless green celebrity (and not so green) actors, singers, and other stars still are suffering from drug addiction. But Dennis Quaid is speaking out about how easily drug addiction creeps up on celebrities. And Quaid said that for him, even attempting rehab, his drug addiction only got worse before it got better.

Lindsay Lohan to play mobster daughter in John Travolta movie?

Hollywood Gossip!

Troubled Lindsay Lohan to play controversial mobster daughter in John Travolta movie?

[Apr. 10]

Rumors are flying that troubled Lindsay Lohan has been hand-picked by Victoria Gotti, controversial daughter of the famed mobster John Gotti, to play the role of the mob daughter in a new John Travolta film, TMZ reports. It is rumored that Victoria Gotti is friends with the Lohan family and visits them on Long Island. Lohan also is auditioning in Los Angeles for a role in Superman but is returning to New York to wrap up talks about the Gotti film, starring John Travolta. Other picks for the role are Blake Lively and Sienna Miller.

MTV attempted to confirm the choice of Lindsay Lohan for the Gotti role alongside John Travolta with a representative for the film who would neither confirm nor deny any talks that may be underway. When asked if Lohan was hand-picked by Victoria Gotti for the role, the representative said only, “You’d have to ask Victoria Gotti.”

The film is to be called Gotti: Three Generations, and is confirmed to star celebrity John Travolta in the leading role as mobster John Gotti, head of the Gambino crime family, according to MTV. Lindsay Lohan already knows a little something about crime from both sides of the bars. She has rejected a plea deal for her latest theft charges and is opting for a trial instead. It could mean jail time for her if convicted, and could stall production of the film if chosen.

After four months in rehab at the Betty Ford Clinic earlier this year, Lindsay Lohan could use the work and the distraction. MTV further notes that Lohan was turned down last year for a role in Inferno about Linda Lovelace because the film’s director had said “the impossibility of insuring her” squashed the troubled actor’s chances.

Bill Cosby slams Donald Trump over presidential political scandal?

Celebrity Scandal!

Actor Bill Cosby slammed Celebrity Apprentice host Donald Trump over presidential political scandal public comments?

[Apr. 9]

Green celebrity actor and comedian Bill Cosby knocked tycoon Donald Trump on Thursday’s edition of the Today show during a talk about education. Cosby stunned hostess Meredith Vieira when she mentioned having an upcoming election and that Donald Trump had just been on the show with her.

Donald Trump has been toying with the idea of running for president, but has said he will not announce anything until June 2011. Trump recently has been outspoken with criticism of President Barack Obama over questions of the president’s citizenship.

When the Today show hostess made mention of the upcoming election and that Donald Trump has been considering running, Cosby interrupted and said, “Oh, please with Donald Trump. Take him home with you.”

Asked why he said that, Cosby responded, “Because he’s full of it,” stunning the hostess into several seconds of silence.

The Today show hostess finally got her bearings and countered that Donald Trump has said he is not ready to announce running for president, to which Bill Cosby said that anyone can announce. Cosby made mention of someone on the Smothers Brothers show years ago announcing a run for president.

“You run, or shut up. But the only thing he’s running is his mouth,” Cosby said.

Not Winning: Charlie Sheen Torpedo of Truth show bombed in New York City

Not Winning: Disgraced actor Charlie Sheen booed of stage in New York City?

[Apr. 9]

Charlie Sheen isn’t making many friends these days, and the former star of Two and a Half Men, and once the highest paid actor in television history, seems not to be winning and in fact seems to be losing audience numbers as he tours the nation with his live stage tour, most recently in New York City at Radio City Music Hall.

Sheen, dressed in a New York Yankees cap and shirt, (and probably full of tiger blood) was met with a semi-standing ovation at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, says TMZ, but the show quickly turned sour as Charlie sheen did little more than rant and tell stories about his drug and alcohol addictions war stories, without any of the fun details thrown in about him wanting to keep the party rolling.

Previous shows Charlie Sheen put on in Chicago, Cleveland, and Columbus met with standing ovations, but the New York City debut shut down about 30 minutes ahead of one Ohio show.
