Peter Weller, the actor who played RoboCop in the 1987 film RoboCop, caught wind of plans by fans to fund the creation of a RoboCop statue for display in the city of Detroit, MI. As a result, Weller — as RoboCop — has filmed a message for the people of Detroit about plans for the statue.
Did you think it was going to be that easy, Stan? Did you really think you were going to walk away without any backlash?!
Tsk, tsk! It's like you don't know the man at all!
Shortly after publicist Stan Rosenfield announced he was resigning as Charlie Sheen's publicist in an effort to save his own reputation, Charlie told sources that he's uber-pissed about this betrayal. Actually, what he told sources was:
"P**sy. He's not allowed to quit, so you’re fired."
Um, ok then. Either way, he's out, which at the end of the day, is probably all that matters to him.
Consider another bridge burnt!

Consider it the peck heard 'round the world.
Following last night's Vanity Fair Oscars party, which featured the red carpet debut of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez as a couple, this pair exited the event and waited for their car to arrive.
As they did so, Justin leaned in and delivered to Selena something about which millions of girls around the planet have dreamed: a peck on the lips. It was as quick as it was cute. Watch, swoon now and and send in your best wishes to this adorable, official twosome:
Billy Crystal gave Anne his approval after last night's Oscars!
Many people are saying the the hosting wasn't up to par, but we did find it a bit entertaining and thought that the duo did a pretty decent job!
Anne was especially excited to get the Crystal seal:
“That felt really good. I didn’t realize I was doing it for [Crystal’s praise,] but it turns out I was because my heart just exploded,” the actress said. “We rehearsed together… the first thing I did was kneel before [Crystal,] and take his hand and the second thing I did was [ask him,] ‘Tell me what to do,’ and he said, ‘Just look like you want to be there every single second that you are on camera.’ I’m like, ‘Well, I got that part in the bag,’ because this whole thing has been such an amazing adventure and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now.
“I was working with the loveliest people, it was the most effortless collaboration that it never felt like work,” Anne continued. “I really mean it, it was an adventure. And I was so curious what was going to happen next, I had (Read more...)

Maybe this will finally put the situation to rest.
Last week, there was a stir when Katy Perry made some comments about product-placement in music videos that were misconstrued as insults directed at Britney Spears and her latest video for Hold It Against Me.
While attending the Oscars last night, Russell Brand was asked what he thought of the issue and like a dutifully hubby, he defended his wife's honor, saying:
"I think those things are made up in the papers and the media to distract people from our spirituality and the truth, and it distracts us from the way the economic situation of the world keeps certain people trapped on this plateau. Let's all rise up and join together. Unite!"
Quite true, but you can't deny that the timing of her comments and the release of Brit-Brit's video is pretty questionable.
Still, he has a point. More important things to worry about. Let's let bygones be bygones with this, huh!

Last year it was Farrah Fawcett, this year Corey Haim. Who's in charge of this???
Last night, during the Oscar's In Memoriam segment, several key Hollywood players weren't recognized while Celine Dion sing sweetly in honor of those who had passed away this year. Among them was Don Peterman (director, Footloose, Men In Black, Splash), Monica Johnson (writer and frequent collaborator with Albert Brooks) and perhaps most notably, Corey.
What an oversight! Don't even tell us no one at the Academy has seen Lucas!
Such a shame.
P.S. - If you've never seen Lucas, its worth an add to your Netflix queue. It might be the only movie in existence where Charlie Sheen appears to be completely sober from beginning to end.
