“This is surprising!” said not one bitch after reading the news that Marc Anthony’s Jewish twin and the Skeletor of NYC Bethenny Frankel has separated from her husband Jason Hoppy after two years of marriage. If you want to ruin your day, just imagine Jill Zarin fapping to this news while cackling maniacally.
Bethenny released a long statement of words to every damn media outlet in the universe saying that since her reality shit show needs a new plot and she’s already sucked every last ounce of life out of Whatshisname, she’s quitting his ass and throwing him in the moat around Castle Grayskull.
“It brings me great sadness to say that Jason and I are separating. This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family. We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us.”
She went on to say, “And you can watch my marriage completely crumble into worm food on the season premiere of my new show BETHENNY GETTING DIVORCED!“
What’s really surprising is that they lasted

Full Story »If Lindsay Lohan doesn’t go back to jail as a result of today’s news, I have an idea for a film project for her: It’s a remake of Groundhog Day in which LiLo plays the Bill Murray role and wakes up every day to new criminal charges until she gets her act together.
Since Tina Fey is the last person to get a memorable performance out of Lohan, she should write and direct. Harold Ramis, who wrote and directed the original Groundhog Day, could have a cameo as the wise prison warden, and…Jesus, why am I even bothering?
I used to actually believe that Lohan had it in her to carve out a great second act in her life and career by stopping the nightclubbing, cutting off her embarrassing parents and devoting herself to work. But after five trips to rehab, the latest critical savaging she received for her performance in Liz & Dick and reports of her arrest Thursday morning and new criminal charges that are about to be filed against her, I think it may finally be time to declare Lohan a lost cause.
As you probably know, Lohan was busted around 4 a.m. on Thursday morning after she allegedly punched woman at a Manhattan nightclub. Earlier that night, she’d caught Justin Bieber’s concert at Madison Square Garden, but apparently the good vibrations didn’t carry LiLo through the night.
The NY Daily News reports that after exchanging words with 28-year-old Tiffany Eve Mitchell at the Chelsea nightclub Avenue, Lohan slugged the alleged victim in the face.
TMZ reported that Lohan, 26, was arrested as she attempted to flee the scene in a…

Star Wars fans worldwide learned Tuesday the celestial shattering news that George Lucas had sold Lucasfilm, and its most famous offspring to Disney for $4.05 billion. That news even surprised none other than Luke Skywalker himself. Actor Mark Hamill said he was surprised by the news, though he and fellow Star Wars veteran Carrie Fisher had met with Lucas who told them he wanted to do additional episodes in the decades-long franchise.
“Yeah, last August, he asked Carrie and I to have lunch with him and we did. I thought he was going to talk about either his retirement or the Star Wars TV series that I’ve heard about…,” Hamill told EW. “So when he said, ‘We decided we’re going to do Episodes VII, VIII, and IX,’ I was just gobsmacked. ‘What? Are you nuts?!’ [laughs] I can see both sides of it. Because in a way, there was a beginning, a middle, and an end and we all lived happily ever after and that’s the way it should be – and it’s great that people have fond memories, if they do have fond memories.”
Hamill said in the interview that he feels “anxious” about what’s going on and admitted to mixed feelings about the sale, but said there has been a historical silver lining when Disney has picked up other marquee properties. “They haven’t done badly by Marvel and the Muppets and Pixar. It’s one of those big decisions that at first seems unusual but then the more you look at it, the more it makes sense.”
Hamill noted that Lucas himself is in a “good place” today, which wasn’t exactly the case back when they were filming the earlier Star Wars. He recalled that his co-stars tried to…

Seen here looking like a sad couple leaving the free clinic after learning some devastating news (the devastating news being that she’s knocked up, because even they know a MayKat baby is not what humanity needs EVER), Katy Perry and John Mayer left a restaurant in NYC last night. While Mitt Romney was quickly losing the highly important and coveted Trapper Keeper vote, Katy and John were out celebrating the 35th anniversary of the day David Duke’s used butt enema fertilized a pine cone tampon and made John Mayer.
For his very special day, John Mayer dressed up as a half-assed Canadian groomsman and used globs of pussy lube to style his hair like a douche bag cockatoo who thinks he’s the shit. Dude’s douche hair matches his smug face.
And all morning hate aside, that picture above is sort of sweet. I mean, obviously there’s a non-whitey standing in front of them, so Katy is covering the one eye on John Mayer’s white power peen, because it doesn’t want to see that. That’s real love.
This is when we’re all supposed to put a black lace veil over our face and dramatically throw ourselves on top of love’s coffin as it gets lowered into the ground, because true love is dead and marriage is nothing but a lie. Love has already thrown itself off a bridge, jumped through a window, put its head in an oven, snatched away Chris Brown’s phone during a Lamborghini anti-joy ride, and humped on Parasite Hilton without four condoms on, but this news is really going to kill it forever. Entertainment Tonight says Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are no longer starring in the real-life show Little People, Big Love, because they have broken up after 30 years of marriage.
Actors Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman have separated after more than 30 years of marriage, ET has learned.
The couple’s rep Stan Rosenfield confirmed the news to ET.
The pair, who married in January of 1982, have three children together.
Little people love is supposed to last forever! It’s not a good feeling knowing that Danny and Rhea aren’t snuggling together in their tree trunk cottage like a baby porcupine and a baby bird staying warm together in the winter. I’m not going to bring up the blind items that claim Danny rubs his slutty foot on side trick after trick. Instead, I’m going to call the nearest emergency room and tell them to have a bed waiting for me, because this news makes me want to buttchug a liquid nitrogen cocktail.
