Troy Polamalu’s Hair is insured for 1 Million dollars
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Troy Polamalu is an essential piece of the Pittsburgh Steelers defense. Shampoo brand head & shoulders evidently feels the same way about the safety’s hair as they announced a $1 million insurance policy on the famous locks on Monday.
“head & shoulders has gone above and beyond this year by insuring my Samoan locks for a cool $1 million. This reinforces that my full and thick hair is unstoppable,” Polamalu said in a news release.
Troy Polamalu is the man with the million dollar hair. The long, flowing black hair that tumbles out of Polamalu’s helmet and down his back _ it’s nearly three feet long _ has been insured for $1 million by Head and Shoulders, the shampoo brand that is endorsed by the Pittsburgh Steelers safety.
The insurance was obtained through Lloyd’s of London, which did not reveal what must be done to Polamalu’s hair for anyone to collect on the policy.
Polamalu’s hair has been targeted by an opposing NFL player at least once _ the Chiefs’ Larry Johnson tackled Polamalu by the hair during a 49-yard interception return in a 2006 game.
Polamalu, a five-time Pro Bowl player, wears his hair long as a tribute to his Samoan heritage.
Tina Fey wore sneakers to the Emmys
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Tina Fey wore a pair of sneakers to the Emmy Awards this past Sunday!
The 30 Rock star hid her casual footwear under a long dress — which is why she looked a little shorter than everyone else!
“It’s the best kept secret in Hollywood,” a source told the PopEater website.
“All the experienced actors know to only to wear long dresses so you can change your footwear and no one will ever know the difference. It took me a couple of years to figure it out but it’s a long, long evening that would be more painful than child birth if you kept those silly shoes on all night. It makes me laugh when I see a young actress arrive in a short dress and high heals.
“All the multiple-time nominees laugh, knowing full well in two hours those silly young things will be in pain, while us more experienced ladies can dance the night away.”
Debbie Gibson says Taylor Swift is just like Her
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010FORMER teen pop princess Debbie Gibson has compared herself to Taylor Swift and Avril Lavigne.
The singer — whose hits include Only In My Dreams, Foolish Beat and Shake Your Love – says Taylor and Avril refuse to be put into a music industry mold — just like herself.
“At that time they were all like ‘put her in a little black dress and put on heels’. They were trying to vamp me up because it’s an easier sell,” Gibson said about the beginning of her career.
“I always said ‘I’m not comfortable with that. That’s not me, let the other girls do that’.
“I look at Avril Lavigne or I look at Taylor Swift. You know, they still wear high-tops with their gown to an award show. That was me.”
Debbie says she isn’t a fan of music’s other sexed-up pop divas — because it’s an image they will have to live with long after the teen years end.
“When you put that image out there, you get a very different perception and treatment by men and people on the streets and in the industry,” she said. “You’re not equipped at that age to back that up, so why kind of play dress up and go there? Wait until you come into your own as a woman.”
Former pop icon, Micky Dolenz is scheduled to join Debbie Gibson and Tiffany on the Syfy television movie ‘Mega Python v. Gatoroid’. For those of you who are too young to know, Micky Dolenz was a member of the 1960s group The Monkee’s – and old school TV lovers might recognize him from the TV show of the same name. Mega Python v. Gatoroid is currently filming in LA. We’ll see how well Micky Dolenz does in the movie sometime next year.
Dakota Fanning My Career Could End Tomorrow
Monday, August 30th, 2010Dakota Fanning wants to be an actress forever — but admits her career could “end tomorrow”.
The 16-year-old The Runaways star — who shot to fame at the age 7 — realizes Hollywood can be fickle.
“I know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life but I think that everything can end tomorrow,” she said.
“You have to live your life for the moment and not take it for granted. I don’t think you ever feel completely secure.
“I’d love to work with Jodie Foster. I really admire her, her career and what she’s done. I can only hope to be just a little bit of how great she is.
“I feel so lucky to have had some of the opportunities that I’ve had. I know some people aren’t that lucky, to be at the right place at the right time or do the right movie.”
Fanning recently admitted she doesn’t know how to do “anything else” other than act.
“I’ve realized that I don’t know how to do anything else,” she said.
“Acting is the only thing I feel most myself.”

John Lennon’s Toilet sells at Auction
Sunday, August 29th, 2010A toilet that belonged to late Beatle John Lennon fetched 9,500 pounds ($14,740) at auction on Saturday, around 10 times its estimate, the sale organizers said.
Lennon, who was murdered in New York in 1980, had the porcelain lavatory removed from Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire, southern England, where he lived from 1969 to 1971, and replaced with a new one.
The builders who took away the white and blue lavatory were told to “put some flowers in it or something,” according to the auction catalog.
Builder John Hancock stored it in his shed for 40 years until he died recently and the lavatory was sent for sale, British media reports said.
The toilet was among Beatles memorabilia sold at auction as part of the Beatle week festival in Liverpool, the group’s native city in northwest England. The pre-auction estimate was 750 to 1,000 pounds.
Anne-Marie Trace, who works at the Beatles Shop in Liverpool which organized the sale, said the high price paid had taken the organizers by surprise.
“I think it’s the most unusual item we’ve ever had in our auction,” she told Reuters.
The buyer was not identified but Trace said it was likely it was “going overseas.”
Paris Hilton arrested in Vegas
Saturday, August 28th, 2010Paris Skankton has been in the news twice this week and counting. She was stalked and a intruder was arrested outside her house earlier this week and now she is back in Vegas and caught a new charge.
Las Vegas – Police arrested Paris Hilton on cocaine possession charges late Friday night after stopping the car she was in on a Las Vegas street, authorities said.
The socialite was booked into the Clark County Detention Center early Saturday on the cocaine charge, Las Vegas police spokesman Marcus Martin said. She was released before dawn on her own recognizance.
The 29-year-old Hilton was in a car driven by a friend when it was stopped about 11:30 p.m. MDT Friday after officers detected what they suspected to be marijuana smoke wafting from it.
“Officers noticed a vehicle leaving smoke trail of a controlled substance and made a stop based on that,” Martin said. That is typical police talk for they smelled weed and decided to arrest somebody. A smoke trail are you kidding me , like a cheech and chong movie,
During the stop, officers found what appeared to be a drug on Hilton and later tests showed that it was cocaine, Martin said. He didn’t know how much was found.
He said Hilton was apparently recognized by passers-by and a crowd quickly gathered in the area where the vehicle had been pulled over.
Police watch commander Lt. Wayne Holman said Hilton released early Saturday morning. He didn’t know how long she had been held nor any details about a possible court date.
He said the man who was driving the car was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of drugs. But he didn’t have any other details, including his name.
