OK, so an Oscar isn’t exactly the highest form of recognition an artist in the film industry could ever hope to get (is there even one?). But it certainly is the most popular, and it is an undeniable fact that getting one of those 13.5-inch statuettes could propel any recipient’s profile to greater heights in Hollywood.
It is undeniable too, however, that the Academy is notorious for giving Oscars to people who we think don’t deserve it, while at the same time snubbing exceptional work by some of the best directors, writers, and actors in the industry. This is the same …

One of the easiest ways for a Hollywood celebrity to earn a quick buck is to appear in TV commercials overseas, Japan in particular. Japanese companies have always been willing to shell out millions just to get American celebs to push their products, and these celebs are only all-too willing to do it with a big smile on their faces, never mind that the ads are almost always cheesy and, in keeping with the usual Japanese TV fare, a bit crazy. After all, audiences in the United States won’t really see them on their own TV sets, would …

The celebrities listed below have all had a measure of success in their chosen fields, with some going on to reach superstar status.
All of that, however, wouldn’t have happened had their attempts at offing themselves before hitting the big time were as successful as the ones that took the lives of many other celebs. Talk about second chances.
Guess they’re just luckier than those other celebrities who died young.

Bardot has tried to end her life several times, the first of which was when she was a teenager refused permission by her …

“Age ain’t nothing but a number”, sang the late singer Aaliyah, in a thinly veiled song that pretty much describes her relationship with that lover of pretty young things, R. Kelly. And show business, it goes without saying, is crawling with aging men and women who have a taste for younger flesh. And for some strange reason, many of the young ones are only all too willing to try how wrinkly skin would feel when pressed against them on a regular basis.
Listed below are 10 celebrity couples whose age differences are significant enough to make one seem like a parent …

The celebrity daughters listed below have a lot to be thankful for. They’ve got money, they’ve got fame (or at least some measure of it). But if there’s one thing that they should probably get on their knees and thank God for every single day of their lives is the fact that God has decided to spare them from a lifetime of misery by tweaking a bit with their genes and not making them look like their famous dads.
If it were the other way around, they’d probably be blaming their moms for hooking up with such ugly partners.

Seeing some of the hottest women in Hollywood hook up with plain-looking Joes (read: ugly, by Hollywood standards at least) is actually some sort of a double-barreled shotgun: A part of us (ok, a very big part of us) is asking, “WTF was she thinking?” At the back of our minds, however, there’s always that nagging thought that if these guys can put themselves in a position where they can have sex with these hotties on a regular basis, maybe we can too. In a way, they give us hope. And we have every reason to hope, especially if we’re …

Waking up to news that Verne Troyer, better known as Mini-Me from the Austin Powers movies isn’t exactly the best way to start a day, but then again, it’s a celebrity sex tape from someone who’s actually appeared in box-office hits, so we’ll take it.
Yep, you heard that right. TMZ has a mini clip of Mini-Me slipping the tongue to his girlfriend, identified as Ranae Shrider, a 22-year-old aspiring model from Kentucky. She looks like the same girl the pint-sized actor took to the 2008 MTV Movie Awards, though I’m not really sure.
And it …

George Carlin, who died Sunday of heart failure at the age of 71, may have become an American comedic icon with his “Seven Words” routine, which got him arrested in Wisconsin after performing it there in 1972, for, of all things, “disturbing the peace”.
But apart from the obscenities that peppered his act, Carlin, who I first saw as the time-traveling guru Rufus in “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”, was also a genius at coming up with cracks, minus the profanity, about everyday stuff that are not only very funny, but also wise and, more often than not, made us look …
