The Real World is making it's second trip to the Big Easy starting June 30th and a new trailer has been released.

MTV will show 12 episode for the season being called The Real World: New Orleans 2 which like seasons before it follow the lives of nearly brain dead young adults. It's the first time since Season 9 that The Real World is returning to the city.

“We are delighted to be returning to New Orleans for the 24th season of ‘The Real World,’” adding “Hurricane Katrina threw New Orleans for a punch, but the city is coming back and we’re hoping our cast members and the series can play a small role in the city’s rebirth.”

Here's a video preview of the new season in the Big Easy:

This season sure seems to look a bit more creepy than seasons past, I haven't watched in years but I might check it out just to see why all the characters seem so disturbed.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar, mostly popularly known for his role as Zack Morris on the popular 90's show Saved By The Bell has announced his divorce from wife Lisa Ann Russell. The couple have been married for 13 years.

Take this one with a grain of salt, but The Globe is reporting that Fergie was doing more than just selling access to Prince Andrew, she was selling her body to rich tycoons!

It’s hard to separate fact from fiction given the strange events that have surrounded the Fergie fiasco, but given the ease at which she laid down the cost for a visit with her ex-husband, an action caught on tape, it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that she was going one step further and seducing rich tycoon’s.

According to the Globe she received at least $450,000 from two oil tycoons.  Some sources call it “Escorting” but really it’s just “hooking for rich people” and her response should be just as amusing to watch as her most recent statements against her less damning actions of selling access to her husband.

Dennis Hopper’s memorial service occurred today in Rancho De Toas, New Mexico and the actors friends and family were on hand to witness his burial, among those friends in attendance were Jack Nicholson and Val Kilmer.

Inside Miley Cyrus, there’s a big girl waiting to get out. But can someone please tell her she’s not a big girl just yet? She’s not even legal for a few more months, yet last year she did a lapdance for producer Adam Shankman a (gay) 44 year-old man, and earlier this year she did a photo shoot in a corset. Now she’s performing for kids in skimpy outfits (a olive-colored one-piece leotard/ bustier/ bathing suit with “nude” leggings and black high-heel “come-eff-me-boots”) and rubbing her hand suggestively along her hip and thigh.

Now, it’s understandable that she doesn’t get the TV show Glee, and can’t “suspend her disbelief,” despite her background, but how does she not get that she’s behaving inappropriately? As far as I can tell, daddy Billy Ray Cyrus has don’t anything mean to his daughter, so she’s not a head case like some of her elder sister celebs.

So what’s going on with all these “dress up” games? And how come she’s saying that she’s not a fan of pop music? Isn’t that what she’s all about? Well apparently not, as her Can’t Be Tamed video, off her upcoming album of the same name, shows. In it, she’s wear a black one-piece, looks kind of like a goth-y Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen. Oh wait, she’s some mythical creature, the Avis Cyrus (?), and she has large black wings. And according to the lyrics, she “goes through guys like money.”

Hmm, yes. Maybe she and Avril Lavigne can compare notes about how tough they are. But at least Avril’s of age. I really find it hard to buy this new pop-punk Miley at the (maybe not so) tender age of 17. Then again, how many other “sweet” little lala land girls went on to be Monster Sluts successful adult entertainers? I’ve lost count.

You might already have heard that former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and wife Tipper are separating after 40 years of marriage. I forgot to mention in that post that despite rocker Frank Zappa’s differences with Tipper’s PMRC and their war on the songs in their “Filthy Fifteen” list, Tipper became friends with Zappa’s wife Gail, presumably after he passed away of prostate cancer. Tipper even performed Zappa’s daughter Diva’s album in 1999, playing drums and singing backup vocals.

Still, there’s the matter of the PMRC and why Frank Zappa was peeved at them and Tipper. And as a professional celeb sh8t-disturber, I feel it’s my duty to give you a sense of the songs that made up the Filthy Fifteen. So here they are, below, and where possibly with a video. Some don’t have YouTube versions, or they’ve had embedding disabled, for various reasons, so there’s a mix of video sources, below. (Apologies if the source has stuck in commercials.)

I don’t know about you but I think there are far more offensive things going on in music and TV than these songs, and they don’t even have to have swearing, sex or violence.

You’d think that after forty years together, a couple would have worked out any differences. Well that’s not always true, and being in the limelight can often be a stressing point. The latest celeb couple to split is none other than former U.S. Vice President/ would-be President Al Gore and his wife Tipper. The Gores sent an email out this morning about their separation, stating that it was a mutual decision.

There’s little in the way of details, and the Gores are asking for privacy — I suppose as much as someone as famous as they are can have — but if you’re bored and want a retrospective of the couple, read the Washington Post, Politico and Fox News. As for a reason for the separation, some wags on Twitter are tweeting that it’s because Tipper discovered Frank Zappa and Prince music on Al’s iPod, or variations of that theme. Doesn’t mean anything to you? Here’s a quick bit of a Tipper Gore history lesson.

In the 1980s, Tipper Gore and her PMRC group (Parents Music Resource Center) took on what they felt were dirty lyrics in songs and music videos (on display thanks to the then rise of MTV). The PMRC included wives of some top politicians — surprisingly a lot of Republicans, given that the Gores are Democrats. The center of controversy was that the PMRC had a list called the Filthy Fifteen, referring to songs they considered back then to have suggestive and offensive lyrics. I’m guessing they had aneurysms listening to Trent Reznor’s “Closer.”

I remember someone telling me about how much now-deceased rock star Frank Zappa detested her because of the PMRC, calling her a cultural terrorist. He even released an album called “Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention,” a play on Zappa’s former band’s name, “Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.”

Zappa appeared on the TV show Crossfire in 1986, defending the 1st Amendment, which includes freedom of speech, and pointed out that he didn’t have to like certain words to defend the right to say them. A video clip of the full Crossfire appearance is below. If you tend towards the open-minded, try not to laugh too hard while the well-spoken Zappa — looking the most clean-cut I’ve ever seen him — hands the other three guys their balls as he defends, as he puts it, “words.” LMAO. Actually, listen at about 16:25, when Zappa says, “This argument basically is about the 7 dirty words that the FCC complains about.” Comedian George Carlin, also deceased, made those 7 dirty words famous in a skit of the same name. The video of that is below as well, followed by an explanation of the history of the skit.

After Guillermo Del Toro stepped down as director for a pair of films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic fantasy novel ‘The Hobbit,” Sir Peter Jackson says that he might step in and direct after all. While Jackson and Del Toro are co-writing the screenplays, with Fran Walsh, for the two movies that will make up ‘The Hobbit,” Jackson had previously declined the director role because of other career obligations. This is in fact pretty much the same reason Del Toro finally stepped down, after apparently two years of waiting on production for The Hobbit.

Jackson, who recently produced District 9 and The Lovely Bones, and his wife Fran Walsh are the executive producers of The Hobbit movies, and he directed the Lord of the Rings trilogy (LOTR) that made him a household name around the world. Jackson is now meeting with other directors but if he can’t find the right person, he’ll step in and direct:

If that’s what I have to do to protect Warner Bros’ investment, then obviously that’s one angle which I’ll explore.

Jackson has proven how true to Tolkien’s stories he likes to stay, but playing so many roles for one project isn’t exactly an easy task, and he has other commitments that may hinder him from directing The Hobbit movies. The movies, which are a prequel to LOTR, are scheduled for release in Dec 2012 and Dec 2013. Only a few characters from LOTR will be in The Hobbit movies, including Gollum/ Smeagol and Frodo’s uncle Bilbo Baggins, after whom the book is based on.

Celine Dion is the latest celebrity having a baby later in life. While for some it’s because of career demands, in Celine’s case, it’s been because of health issues. She, now 42, and husband Rene Angelil just announced that they’re having twins, but it hasn’t been without great difficulty that she’s pregnant.

She’s had numerous attempts using in-vitro fertilization (IVF), which for her involves flying from Florida (where she lives) to New York. She’s also had acupuncture treatments in Montreal, Canada (she and Rene are originally from the province of Quebec). She told People, “I feel like I’ve been pregnant more than a year,” because of the IVF efforts, and that this pregnancy has been physically and emotionally exhausting. She went through six years of IVF treatments just to get pregnant with son Rene-Charles, now nine, and it’s possible that the twins are from embryos previously frozen.

Celine, who had a huge show at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas that lasted five years and ended late 2007, is planning to rest because of the priority she’s putting on the babies, though she does have another Vegas show starting in 2011. She was named Calendar’s number one artist of the decade primarily because of the sales figures she pulled in thanks to the Caesar’s engagement.

Shrek Forever After (aka Shrek 4) is still at the top of the box office charts with a wekeend darw of $55.6M. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time opened in second place, just barely inching out Sex and the City 2 by less than a million in receipts. That leaves Iron Man 2 and Robin Hood to take 4th and 5th spots in the box office, respectively.

The movie Killers, with Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher (poster above), opens this Friday but critics will not see it ahead of the theatrical release. This is because it’s a genre film and it’s expected that fans will watch base on their interest, not because of reviews.

Hayden Panettiere is the latest actress to sign on to Scream 4. The original cast will be present, as well as Rory Culkin, Emma Roberts and others.

You know you want to see it again: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will have a live-action remake. Involvement includes Michael Bay, who is overseeing Transformers 3 at the moment. That is, when he’s not busy firing Mega Fox.

Not sure if was her gazillion surgeries and an addiction to it, or his dogs reportedly pooping all over their house and she apparently having to clean it all up, but professional dimwits Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt called it quits a couple of days ago. Now, Jennifer Bunney, who was once on The Hills with Heidi, says Miss Plastic is moving in with her for the summer, and it seems the two are part of some new reality show. Oh and get this; Bunney says further to US Magazine that Heidi is tired of Spencer controlling “fake bad press” and that she wants to focus on her acting career.

Acting career? What acting career? Sure she appears in the upcoming (2011) flick Just Go With It, and she wants to be in Transformers 3, but she has no real acting career to speak of. Appearing in a reality show does not make for an acting career. She wants to be an action star, but didn’t anyone tell the girl that having fake plastic boobs makes that kind of difficult? So does not really having any talent other than plastic assets, so to speak.

But I digress. You probably want to know more about why these two numskulls, Heidi and Spencer are splitting up or whatever they call it. Well, a TMZ source says that Heidi claimed he was controlling her and keeping her from her friends. Maybe he was afraid she couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time, and would trip and puncture her fake fun bags.

Some cultures believe that time is not linear but rather circular, and that events repeat. Lindsay Lohan’s life lately might be proof of this concept. Let’s see. Appearing in court again for being out of control. Check. Being ordered to wear a SCRAM alcohol monitoring bracelet again. Check. Being blonde again (not unlike how she’s pictured above). Check. Partying out on the town until all hours again, or with a pair of ugly boots (or is that UGGly?). Check. Although this time supposedly without alcohol, but possibly not for want of trying. Friends with Samantha Ronson again. Check.

Ok, sure, there are some changes in her life. For example, her parents apparently reached some settlement about child supoprt recently and are not fighting. But I’m convinced Lindsay Lohan is a misguided fool. Cannes fiasco aside, she probably means well but doesn’t seem to have learned from any of her past experiences, including the last time she wore a SCRAM bracelet. Last time, in 2007, she had it removed. She’s repeating history, but she merely wants to accessorize and called on Chanel for stickers or some such. Seriously? What’s wrong with you? Can someone please send Lindsay through a time machine and bring her back at least a little more responsible? Does she even know that that mouthy Bill O’Reilly doesn’t think she has much of a future, literally. As in going kaput by her own hands? That’s not good. No one wants that for you, Lindsay. Control yourself.

The Reaper seems to have it in for entertainers these days, what with the recent passing of Lena Horne, Lynn Redgrave, Gary Coleman, Ronnie James Dio, and others. Now, Dennis Hopper, a known rebel and hellraiser prone to paranoid delusions, but a screen legend regardless, passed away in his home in Venice, California, at 74 from complications due to prostate cancer.

Hopper, who was going through a difficult divorce with his fifth wife, wrote, directed and acted in 1969′s classic Easy Rider, which featured other acting legends Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda. Easy Rider, a film that changed Hollywood and which was made for less than $500K and grossed tens of millions of dollars, gained Hopper two Oscar nominations. Before that, he played Goon in 1954′s Rebel Without a Cause, beside James Dean. Amongst his 200+ acting credits, he also appeared in numerous other films including Apocalypse Now and Blue Velvet. More recently, he played Ben Cendars for 26 episodes of Crash, and had two film projects in progress: Alpha and Omega (voice) and The Last Film Festival.

He’s survived by four children from four of his five wives.
