Gary Coleman Swears At Guest, Storms Off The Insider

Well, if this isn’t just the saddest thing. An interview with Gary Coleman aired on The Insider last night, in which the former child star threw a tantrum and bolted the set after lawyer Lisa Bloom grilled him on his recent spousal abuse arrest (he pleaded guilty earlier this month). “You can go f— yourself! You can go f— yourself!” he shouted after Bloom’s repeated demands that he acknowledge his wife’s charges. “I don’t know you, I don’t care about you and your life doesn’t matter to me! So if you drown tonight or get hit by a bus tonight, I’m not gonna care because she’s pushing my buttons and I don’t like her now and the next thing I’m going to do is…leave! So f— all of you!”

If that wasn’t awkward enough, the hosts brought author/psychologist Charlie Sophy to give his reaction. While admitting Bloom was “provoking” Coleman (who had already said there was “no abuse” in his house), Sophy noted “he was explosive, he tries to hold it together and he blows. You’re lucky he didn’t hit somebody here…really!” Uh…really? The 4′7″ actor was going to start handing out beatdowns on air? “What I saw there needs medicine,” he continued, dismissing commentator Niecy Nash’s suggestion of therapy. Unfortunately, the long-awaited referendum allowing TV psychologists to force medication on miserable has-beens has yet to be passed into law.

Hulk Hogan Beaten And Bloodied At Press Conference

Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan just gave Australia a taste of the brutality they can expect at his upcoming Hulkamania wrestling event in Sydney. The reality star was promoting the show at a press conference when long-time rival Ric Flair showed up to mock the Hulk’s drama with ex-wife Linda. When Hulk tried to walk away, Flair pummeled him with his belt and fist, leaving Brooke Hogan’s dad a bloody mess. You could be forgiven for being skeptical, but TMZ swears it was real, and Aussie news shows, less familiar with the nature of pro wrestling, aren’t sure what to think. Check out the gallery and decide for yourself.

Joss Stone: Lily Allen’s Not A Singer

joss-stone-lily-allen

Joss Stone fell out of favor in the UK a few years back when she appeared on stage at the Brit awards with a ludicrous American accent and tried to upstage Amy Winehouse by singing “Rehab.” And now about to relaunch herself with a new album, she’s doing no further favors by slating Lily Allen’s recent attempts to clamp down on illegal file-sharing. By condescendingly stating it’s because Lily’s not a real singer. Riiiight.

“She needs to sell records because she’s not a singer, and that’s not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too… I think it’s probably harder for an artist like Lily and any other pop acts. It’s really about the track and about their personality and their celebrity and that’s how they make their money is selling those records,” she said. Lily’s not known for taking things lying down, and although she’s abandoned Twitter, we can soon see foolhardy Joss at the end of a verbal smackdown. Round two! [Photos: WENN]

Frances Bean Cobain “Ashamed” Of Ali Lohan

ali-lohan-frances-bean-cobain

Remember when Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie et al were the ultimate Hollywood party girls, cruising around town with the air flapping around their un-knickered ladygardens, their friendships and fallings-out the hot topic on everyone’s lips? Well, as if we need further reminding, those days are over, those girls are, like, way old now, and it’s all about the next generation of bitchy starlets.

We’ve already posted our plea to save Ali Lohan some sort of normal teenage years, but sadly our words are going unheeded. And now in a full-on Twitter rant, Frances Bean Cobain lays into the wannabe star for seeking fame without credibility. Highlights from the now-deleted post included, “Your [sic] not entitled to anything simply because your sister has a recognisable name… You blatantly don’t care how your [sic] recognized, its the objective to get famous and that is what makes you replaceable and a recycled idea.

“Well, I’m ashamed to have to be grouped into the same category of person as you. I would rather die a most painful death the be associated with the kind of career your trying to make for yourself.”

Unkinder souls than ours (ahem) might point out that Frances herself is actually only well known because her parents are Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain. But underneath all the brazen teenage swagger, she seems to be making the same sort of point that we are. [Photo: Splash News Online]

Megan Fox Is “Dumb As A Rock,” Say Film Crew

Megan-Fox

Some of Megan Fox’s ruder pronouncements have come back to bite her on the ass. The outspoken star has been dissed by anonymous crew from the set of her recent Transformers movie for publicly slating the film’s director Michael Bay - and in a message posted on the director’s blog, they didn’t mince their words. Reportedly referring the “tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox,” the “unbearable time of watching her try to act” she was also called out for the “awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm.” (Well, it is fairly disgusting, we’ll agree).

The open letter’s been taken down now and replaced with a message from Bay himself, defending the actress’s “crazy charm” and how he looks forward to working with her on Transformers 3. Yep, bet the crew does too, from the sounds of it. [Photo: GettyImages]

Kelly Osbourne Disses Lily Allen

lily-allen-kelly-osbourne

Kelly Osbourne can add Lily Allen to her growing list of verbal dissees. After reportedly slamming down Lady Gaga and (eek) Michael Jackson in recent weeks, she performed a class-A “backdoor brag” at the GQ awards at Lily’s expense. Asked about starting her own fashion line, Kelly referenced Lily’s 2007 range for Brit fashion store New Look as how not to do it.

“I don’t think I’m ready to bring out a range of clothes yet at my age. I know Lily Allen has done it but I want to do it all by myself and not just attach my name to it. That’s not fashion to me. I could do that now if I wanted to. If I were to produce a range I wouldn’t even call it my name,” she told the Evening Standard. Nice. We get the message loud and clear. [Photos: Getty Images]

Rachel And Bethenny Battle Via Twitter

bethenny-frankel-rachel-zoe

Last week it was Demi Moore and Perez Hilton beefin’ over Twitter, this week skinny stylist Rachel Zoe is warring with reality star Bethenny Frankel. Whatever happened to bitching people out in person? Frankel, of “Real Housewives fame,” took a stab at Zoe via her Twitter account, calling the stylista’s show, “self-important nonsense” and “a bunch of BS.” The best-selling author didn’t stop there, and went on to accuse Zoe of treating “all her old friends like garbage.” Bananas!

Zoe, of course, bit back, and tweeted that Bethenny has “no class” and nailed her with this dis: “u really r insane!” Ouch! This fight is almost as ugly as that dress Zoe shoved Cameron Diaz in at the Golden Globes this past spring. After reviewing all the tweets, we’re totally Team Zoe on this one. After all, Bethenny clearly started this battle, and we’re a fan of Zoe’s, uh, quirks. It’s a good thing both of the sass-pots have shows on Bravo - maybe Andy Cohen can hold some sort of televisied mediation session? We’d watch! [Photos: GettyImages]

Piven Throws A Hissy Fit

piven-kattan

Jeremy Piven has had a rough year, let’s face it. When he pulled out of a commitment on Broadway citing “mercury poisoning” as his reason, he became the butt of jokes and had a grievance filed against him by the producers. His show, Entourage, is having a less-than-stellar season. And seriously, what’s with his weird guest appearances, hosting WWE’s Raw and appearing on Big Brother? So it’s not crazy that someone would take him to task for all that. Piven doesn’t like being the butt of a joke though, and when SNL alum Chris Kattan took a swipe about Piven’s Broadway debacle, things turned ugly.

The two men were set to appear on Alexa Chung’s MTV show when Kattan said to Piven backstage, “So, what are you here to promote, your Broadway play?” A low blow, perhaps, but we definitely would have referenced the WWE thing instead because, seriously WTF was that about? Piven then responded, “Well, what are you here to promote? Mango?” and from there it got heated. While Kattan claims that he thought the ribbing was friendly, Piven supposedly exploded, slammed the door to his dressing room and rebuffed Kattan’s apologies later. Of course both men’s publicists claim it was all in good fun but, pardon the Piven pun, it just sounds fishy. We miss the days when Piven was just John Cusack’s second banana and news about him didn’t make us clench with anxiety. [Photo: GettyImages]

Original Girl-Kisser Is Pissed At Katy Perry

katy-perry-jill-sobule

This confession is going to date us, but when we heard that some chick named Katy Perry has a song called “I Kissed A Girl” last year, we expected it to be a cover of a song by the same name, originally sung by ’90s songstress Jill Sobule. Sobule was basically a one-hit wonder with her shocking-for-the-time lesbian anthem that featured Fabio in the video. Of course when we heard Katy Perry’s song we were like, what’s the big whoop? This song has been done before, minus the Chapstick shill.

Jill Sobule though, is still a working musician with a hefty following, but unfortunately for her and for those who remember her Sapphic song, her hit has become overshadowed by Perry. In an interview with TheRumpus.net, a previously silent Sobule opens up about Perry and she doesn’t hold back. “As a musician I  have always  refrained from criticizing another artist. I was, ‘well, good for her,” Sobule tells the site. “It did bug me a little bit, however, when she said she came up with the idea for the title in a dream. In truth, she wrote it with a team of professional writers and was signed by the very same guy that signed me in 1995. I  have not mentioned that in interviews as I don’t want to sound bitter or petty… cause, that’s not me. Okay, maybe, if I  really think about it, there were a few jealous and pissed off moments. So here goes, for the first time in an interview: F*ck you Katy Perry, you f*cking stupid, maybe ‘not good for the gays,’ title thieving, haven’t heard much else, so not quite sure if you’re talented, f*cking little slut. God that felt good.”

This week is attack of the alternative singers: first it was Courtney Love vs. Taylor Momsen, now this. Our old-ass selves do have to agree with Sobule here though, she covered this turf first. Now excuse us while we go look for our Lilith Fair ‘97 t-shirt. [Photos: GettyImages]

Eminem Bites Back Against Mariah’s Video

Uh oh - Eminem is fighting back against Mariah Carey’s recent beef-filled video for her single “Obsession” with a new track dissing the diva, and while it’s a bit harsh, it’s sure to remind us all that the dude’s still got talent. One point for Slim Shady! In “The Warning,” Em declares, “now I’m pissed off” and raps, “I got the exact same tattoo that’s on Nick’s back, I’m obsessed now, oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee? Wow Mariah, didn’t expect you to go balls out. Bitch shut the f*ck up.”

And that’s just the beginning of the expletive-riddled track. Em also drops hints about sexy pictures that he has of the star and then ends the song by including never before heard clips from their “studio session” together. Listen above. Be warned, the language is seriously NSFW.  Also, see pics below of Mariah mocking Eminem while shooting her video for “Obsessed.” [via DListed]
