Game of Thrones Actor Stabbed While Defending Woman Sean Bean gets into plenty of skirmishes on Game of Thrones, but the actor shed some real blood Sunday while defending a Playboy model in a bar against a stranger who reportedly made lewd comments toward her. Bean, 52, was attacked outside a London bar with what appeared to be broken glass after objecting to comments about April Summers. The actor reportedly suffered a cut to his arm and bruising to his face. Bean returned to the bar and was treated with first aid. He also had another drink. Pretty hard core dude


Tupac Shakur Shooter Confesses to Role in 1994 Attack

A prison inmate has claimed involvement in the famous 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur that set in motion a feud that led to the murders of Shakur and rival rapper Notorious B.I.G. two years later. Dexter Isaac, who is serving life in prison for other crimes, said Wednesday – the eve of what would have been Shakur's 40th birthday – that he was one of the men who ambushed Shakur on Nov. 30, 1994, at Manhattan's Quad Studios, shooting him five times. Isaac claims he was paid $2,500 for the hit by James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond, a former music mogul who recently claimed that Isaac is working with the government to pursue a drug case against him. "I want to apologize to [Shakur's] family and for the mistake I did for that sucker [Jimmy Henchman]," Isaac said from prison. "I am trying to clean it up to give [Tupac and B.I.G.'s] mothers some closure." Shakur survived the shooting, but it led to a bitter East Coast-West Coast hip-hop feud that eventually led to Shakur's murder in September 1996 and the death of fellow rapper Notorious B.I.G. in March 1997. Those murders remain unsolved. i guess if u are already serving a life sentence, what more can they do to u.


 
Two Men Charged in Joss Stone Murder Plot
Junior Bradshaw, 30, was arrested for driving on a suspended license, possession of an offensive weapon and going equipped to burgle or steal. Kevin Liverpool, 33, was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon and going equipped to burgle or steal. These charges are in addition to their arrests for conspiracy to commit robbery and commit grievous bodily harm. Suspicious neighbors called the police after they spotted the men circling her farmhouse in East Devon in their red Fiat Punto car. The men were also found to be in possession of maps of the property, swords, rope, and a body bag! The detective leading the investigation says, "The two men in custody had in their possession information relating to an individual in the Cullompton area and items which lead us to suspect that they may have intended to commit a offense." Joss issued the statement, “I’d like to thank everyone for their concern but I’m absolutely fine and getting on with life as normal while the police continue with their enquiries.” very scary, but maybe just maybe they were mad she doesn't wear shoes on stage, i know every time i see her barefoot, it makes me want to burgle her w/ a sword... just kidding, but it is gross.

Justin Smokes Pot
Justin Timberlake, speaking in a Playboy magazine interview, is quoted as saying, "Some people are just better high" ...and he numbers himself among them. Timberlake says that the only thing that pot does for him is to get him to stop thinking saying, "Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off."  Also talking about why he dates stars, besides the reason that he just can, is that you gravitate toward people who understand your scenario...At the end of the day you just want someone who gets you, who can be a friend."

 An LA judge ruled that Charlie Sheen's lawsuits against Warner Bros. will not go to trial.

TV and Charlie Sheen vs. Two and a Half Men must be settled in arbitration.
 Crystal Harris is the current cover girl for the July Issue with a headline that reads, “America’s Princess, Introducing Mrs. Crystal Hefner.” After Harris called off the wedding, the 85-year-old playboy founder has decide to place a giant red sticker on all July issues of Playboy that says “Runaway Bride In this Issue!” Thousands of copies have already been shipped without the sticker, but Hef insists the rest of outgoing copies will bear the big red mark. Crystal wanted to ditch Hef at the altar. Her plan was to walk up the aisle and say she couldn't go through with it. The wedding was to be filmed for a reality special, and her refusal to marry him would be a sensation. She was looking for a tie-in deal of around $500,000 for the exclusive 'I ditched Hef at the altar' interview. While there was interest, Crystal didn't get an offer anywhere near half a million. Also to add insult to injury, Harris has been dating musician and son of Dr. Phil, Jordan McGraw since March. mad i canceled my subscription now lol i love u hef but someone 60 yrs your jr, i mean really besides the ick factor, did u think she would want to diaper u after only 2-3 yrs of marriage, that kind of committment takes 10-15 yrs and being left a lot more in the will... at least lol

Phantom Maybe Only 3-D Film
Looks like those on the fence about seeing the "Star Wars" films converted into 3D now have added reason not to go - Lucas probably isn't going to bother with the original trilogy. With audience interest in 3D on the wane, Lucasfilm producer Rick McCallum says that plans to re-release all six Star Wars films in 3D have been revised. "One a year, if they work. If they don't then there will be just one" says McCallum. Of course the company is releasing them in chronological order, so the only guaranteed converted film right now is "Star Wars Episode I, The Phantom Menace." i love u lucas more than u know, but leave it alone, please leave it alone



TV NEWS
The story of Drew Peterson, charged with the death of his third wife after the mysterious disappearance of his fourth wife, is coming to television.

In May 2010, Stacy disappeared and following up on tips from a neighbor, authorities arrested Peterson and indicted him for the murder of his previous wife, Kathleen.

Peterson is currently in prison awaiting trial.  The movie will explore the two murders.


Dave Chappelle won't be back on television -- or a television-like media experience -- anytime in the immediate future. Chappelle's rep says that a report he was developing a new series for a streaming content provider is "absolutely untrue."

ABC's hit series "Wipeout" will be back for fifth season -- but it will have a new face chronicling the spills and blowouts. The network announced that former "True Beauty" judge Vanessa Minnillo will take the place of "Wipeout" co-host Jill Wagner. The series pickup applies to both Winter and Summer editions of "Wipeout," to air later this year and into next.



Courteney Cox and David Arquette may be experiencing a bumpy patch of road in their marriage, but they make a pretty good business team.

The pilot, based on a board game, will revolve around teams of two who must guess the names of famous people. The pilot will be filmed this summer.
