John Mayer donates to charity for mugshot

Earlier this week we posted an article about singer John Mayer challenging TMZ executive producer Harvey Levin to find his May 2001 mugshot; if he was successful, John would donate $25,000 to charity.  While TMZ was in pursuit, The Smoking Gun took to Twitter, announcing they got their hands on it first.

But John stayed true to his word, announcing that the $25,000 would be split between the Pet Orphans and Ace of Hearts charities.

We already loved John Mayer, but love him even more since he supports animal rescue and adoption!!

Joan Bennett Kennedy attends Ted Kennedy’s funeral

Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy’s ex-wife, Joan Bennett Kennedy, attended the funeral services for the U.S. Senator at the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Boston, Massachusetts August 29, 2009.

Ted Kennedy and Joan Bennett met in 1957 while she was a student at Manhattanville College (then a Sacred Heart Academy), part-time model, and friend to Ted’s sister Jean.  “What she was up against with Ted Kennedy was not easy,” says biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli. Their marriage was filled with turmoil and heartache; the two assassinations of his brothers John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, their son’s fight with bone cancer, multiple miscarriages, Ted’s infidelity, and Joan’s addiction to alcohol.

Throughout her marriage to Ted, Joan was publicly honest about two demons she faced; the first was seeing a psychiatrist and the other was joining AA – Alcoholics Anonymous.  In her 1985 biography she states, “My personality was more shy and retiring…And so rather than get mad or ask questions concerning the rumors about Ted and his girlfriends, or really stand up for myself at all, it was easier for me to just go and have a few drinks and calm myself down as if I weren’t hurt or angry.”

Ted Kennedy and Joan Bennett Kennedy’s divorce was final in 1982.

Whitney Houston’s seventh album, I Look To You

Six-time Grammy Award-winning singer Whitney Houston is ready to release her seventh album, I Look To You, hitting stores on August 31, 2009.  This album should be a major comeback for Whitney.  It’s been six years since her last recording, seven years since the “crack is wack” comment during an interview with Diane Sawyer, and ten years since her last Grammy Award.

There hasn’t been much publicity for the I Look To You album.  Whitney will perform in Central Park on Tuesday, September 1, 2009 for Good Morning America and will interview on Oprah’s season premiere September 14, 2009…so far, that’s it.

Executive producer Clive Davis assembled a mixed cast of performers to aide Whitney Houstons’ comeback cd. Artists such as Akon, Alicia Keys, Swiss Beatz, Diane Warren, and David Foster can be recognized, while the final song, “Salute” produced by R. Kelly, shows a lyrical Whitney affirming her place in the music industry with, “don’t call it a comeback, no, I been here for years.”

We’d like to call it a comeback!  Whitney deserves to resurface as the triumphant performer she always has been!

Mr. Bean’s Rowan Atkinson in another car wreck

This makes car wreck number four for Mr. Bean actor, Rowan Atkinson.  The actor’s silver Audi convertible straight-on hit a dustcart (British garbage truck), leaving Rowan’s face and ribs bruised!!  How the hell do you miss seeing a freaking garbage truck?!!  It gets better…he was in his driveway!!

I guess he is taking his role from the 2001 movie ‘Rat Race’ a little bit too seriously…”it’s a race!!”

The other 3 accidents in the past decade – two involved his Aston Martin V8 Zagato and the other his McLaren F1.

Sounds to me like Rowan’s neighborhood in Apethorpe Northants England can be a dangerous place, even in a garbage truck!!  Try to be more careful Bean.

Kings of Leon give U.K. fans the bird

U.S. band Kings of Leon were not pleased with U.K. fans’ cold response at the Reading Festival in England on Friday, August 28, 2009.

Singer Caleb Followill tried to win over the audience, but after not much response, he yelled, “I thought this was supposed to be the loudest crowd in the world?…We know you’re sick of Kings of Leon. We’re f***ing sick of Kings of Leon too. But we get up here every night and I thank God for everything I’ve had…So for all those who don’t give a f**k about us, I understand. But we’ve worked hard to be here. We’re the goddamn Kings of Leon, so f**k you.”

Then, to make matters even worse, Caleb and Jared both smashed their guitars on the stage, then threw the shards into the crowd and stormed off stage, giving fans the bird!!

Wow!!  Now…I am no musical entertainer, but I would think that lashing out at your fans and throwing pieces of wood at them is not the best approach to win them over…especially the Brits!!!

After the outburst, Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill took to Twitter:

“Reading? What the f**k? Zero love for the kings. I know it was cold but holy s**t, y’all were frozen. I can only hope Leeds is in better form.”

What the f**k, Kings of Leon?  Geeze…!
