Miley Cyrus Makes a Wish Come True for Fans, Gets Props from THG

April 29, 2010


Despite our differences over years with Miley Cyrus, we’re happy to give the singer credit when credit is due.

Miley took the stage yesterday as a big part of Make-A-Wish Foundation’s “World Wish Day” at The Grove in Los Angeles, joining Mark Ballas and Jordan Pruitt and putting on a performance for those in attendance.

Singing on Stage

In other Miley music news: she’ll release a new album on June 22 and premiere the video for “Can’t Be Tamed” on May 4. Word is, it will be quite raunchy and buzz-worthy.

Below, we’ve posted a slew of Cyrus photos from this event, followed by her performance of “The Climb” at the concert.

In Touch Exclusive:Joe Jonas’ new LA bachelor pad!

JoeJonas0429.jpg

Joe Jonas says the secret to his and his famous brothers’ worldwide success is “being humble.” But that didn’t stop this 20-year-old heartthrob from moving out of the $1 million LA home he shared with his siblings and into this $2.5 million Hollywood mansion that overlooks the canyons and mountains of the spectacular Hollywood Hills. “It’s truly a unique and beautiful property,” says agent Richard Stanley, a real estate expert from Coldwell Banker in LA who, although familiar with the property, does not represent or have any affiliation with the home. Stanley says the four-bedroom, three-bath house, built in 1929, was custom-designed by its original owner to take advantage of the gorgeous scenery and mature trees surrounding the estate. “It’s located on one of the prettiest streets in the neighborhood,” says Stanley, who adds that the nearly 3,300-squarefoot house was made for entertaining, and he could see why a hip, young star like Joe would want to settle here. “This neighborhood is filled with celebrities,” he says. While this estate is a far cry from the modest New Jersey home he grew up in before the Jonas Brothers hit it big, he’s happily adapted to his new West Coast lifestyle. “Living and working in LA is really cool,” says Joe. “I know that we are living a lot of people’s dreams. I’m blessed and lucky.”

Randy Quaid, Lunatic Wife Evi Cop a Plea


Randy Quaid and wife Evi Quaid took a plea deal yesterday, ending a strange legal odyssey that was completely unnecessary and yet highly entertaining.

A judge tossed charges against the odd actor, while his wife pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor in their Santa Barbara, Calif., hotel bill-skipping case.

Under terms of the plea deal, both escaped additional jail time – they were already thrown in jail for missing court dates on several different occasions.

Evi Quaid must perform 240 hours of community service within a year.

CRAZY QUAIDS FREED: Innkeepers, put up the No Vacancy signs!

Outside court, Randy Quaid said the case taught him “you pay your bills when you leave, and I suppose that’s something we can work on in the future.”

Paying bills of $10,000? Not something most of us would forget to do.

Randy feels that he was treated a bit more harshly because of his celebrity status, although deliberately thumbing your nose at the law doesn’t help.

The Quaids were accused of failing to pay a more than $10,000 hotel bill at an exclusive Santa Barbara resort and they had faced three felony counts.

Evi pleaded to the lesser misdemeanor of defrauding an innkeeper, maintaining that she thought they could pay the bills later by mail. Mmmkay.

We look forward to the couple’s next bizarre legal altercation.

When American Idol Meets The Twilight Saga…


We were shocked to see Siobhan Magnus go home last night.

But that actually wasn’t the strangest development on the American Idol results show.

During their weekly Ford commercial, the remaining six finalists made like Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz and company, baring fangs and pretending to be vampires… while Michael Lynche fought them off with a garlic pizza.

It was a strange sight all around, though Casey James and Crystal Bowersox actually pull off the look well, don’t they? Watch the commercial below now, before Fox yanks it off YouTube:

What do you think of the commercial? Very cool, or very WTF?!?

Kristin Cavallari: I’m not cracked out!

After just one episode, the final season of The Hills has already started serious drama — and surprisingly, it’s not all about Heidi Montag‘s barely movable face. Kristin Cavallari‘s galpals accused her of being “cracked out” after a few late nights of partying. “We went to Miami for Super Bowl weekend and I didn’t hang out with the girls one night, so they just decide to say that I’m on drugs. It’s ridiculous,” she told Billy Bush on his show, adding that the “drug rumors” will become a recurring theme on the show. “It’s not something to be taken lightly at all. It’s been pretty difficult to deal with. I understand that we need drama for the show, but when it starts to affect my personal life… that’s when I’m not okay with it.”

Body of Monica Beresford-Redman Brought Back Home


We have an update on the tragic situation surrounding Bruce Beresford-Redman and his late wife.

Bruce is the former Survivor producer suspected of murdering wife Monica in Cancun earlier this month. While authorities are preventing him from leaving Mexico as they ponder charges and collect evidence, Monica’s family has finally brought her body to Los Angeles.

Sisters Jeanne and Carla Burgos flew with the corpse, which was taken to the Gates, Kingsley & Gates Smith Salsbury funeral home in Culver City.

“It’s very important to have my sister back where she belongs and have the family say goodbye and have a place to go so they can send their love,” Jeanne said.

The body will now undergo further testing, as funeral service arrangements are being planned. It’s a sad situation all around.

Chelsea Handler Addresses Sex Tape / Comedy Bit


Chelsea Handler sure has an interesting definition of “sex tape.” And “humor.”

On Wednesday night, reports surfaced regarding a decade-old Chelsea Handler sex tape featuring the talk show host getting down, dirty and X-rated.

In the tape, the future Chelsea Lately hostess does a typical stand-up routine before taking off all of her clothes and engaging in explicit sexual acts.

In short, she has sex. On tape. Pretty straightforward. But her rep insists: “It isn’t a sex tape. It’s a tape that was done for a stand up comedy bit.”

We don’t know how in the heck that passes for comedy … then again, that applies to Chelsea in general a lot of the time, so we suppose we’ll buy it.

The Handler

MAN HANDLER: Chelsea got down and dirty on her non-sex tape.

On her show Wednesday night, Handler herself addressed the alleged sex video, and didn’t deny it exists or dispute reports of its explicit content.

Instead, she quipped, “Thanks for ruining my surprise Christmas gift to my staff.”

“It was a joke. I put it on an audition tape for a comedy club because I’m a comedian. I’ve been showing it at birthday parties for f***ing years!”

We suppose we believe her, but that’s just … strange. Almost as weird as the Chuy Bravo sex tape. Both of which we’re ready to move past.

Handler also claims that she received a a $1 million offer to market the tape, and responded: “And you know what I said? I’m not worth it.”

Well, there you have it. You gotta give Chels props for being honest and self-deprecating … even if her idea of humor is a little unusual.

Stars pay $150,000 to find a husband!

JenAniston0429.jpg

How does a huge celebrity like Jennifer Aniston — blessed with beauty, fame and fortune — go about finding a regular guy who’s not just dating her because she is, in fact, Jennifer Aniston? More single stars are turning to professional matchmaker Amber Kelleher-Andrews of Kelleher International to help them find love — shelling out up to $150,000 for matches from around the world. “It’s not just for a date — they’re willing to pay that to meet the love of their lives,” Amber tells In Touch. “I think Jennifer’s ready.” Amber says she turns away 90 percent of the people who ask to work with her because she’s only interested in setting up big stars. She’s tight-lipped about her famous clients, and she won’t address online rumors that Jen and Denise Richards are among them.

Amber says the mistake A-listers make is limiting their choices to others in the business. “It’s very difficult as a single, beautiful woman like Jennifer Aniston not to fall in love with co-stars like Vince Vaughn and Gerard Butler. She’d have to stop working a bit and meet some regular guys,” says Amber, who usually doesn’t tell men that they are being set up with a star. “The security that the clients have is knowing that the person wanted to meet them before they knew who they were. Successful men who have their act together do really well with actresses because they’re not intimidated.”

Lady GaGa, Conan O’Brien, Others: Very Influential


Time Magazine has come out with its annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people.

It’s divided into four categories (Leaders, Heroes, Thinkers and Artists), although we have no idea how Sarah Palin ended up in the number-nine slot as a “Leader.” What does she lead, exactly? Whatever organization pays her the most money to speak at its event?

But anyway.

Lady GaGa is considered the most influential artist on the planet, with Conan O’Brien ranking second. Also in the top 10: Oprah, Taylor Swift and Robert Pattinson.

So Very Influential

The magazine spoke to a number of people closely associated to these celebrities and received the following takes on them:

Cyndi Lauper on Lady GaGa: Lady Gaga’s art captures the period we’re in right now. She isn’t a pop act, she is a performance artist. She herself is the art. She is the sculpture.

George Lopez on Conan O’Brien: Conan’s tenacity and wit have been an inspiration to me on my own late-night show. I’m happy and proud that we’ll be playing on the same team when he comes to basic cable.

Chris Weitz on Robert Pattinson: Rob is a reserved, bookish sort of specimen, a guy who’d rather spend the night at the corner table in the pub with friends — a bit of a weirdo, frankly, in the best sense.

Samantha Ronson to Lindsay Lohan: Lay Off the Crack!


“If you’re having girl problems I feel bad for you son … I got 99 problems but a b!tch ain’t one.” - Jay-Z

If only Samantha Ronson could say the same. Whatever dumpster Lindsay Lohan ended up in last night, she got the obligatory, accusatory Tweets out first.

Alleging that her ex is selling her out to celebrity gossip sites, along with plenty of other gibberish, the train wreck had this to say to her DJ ex:

  • I’m pretty sure that @samantharonson just threw a fit @33years old and my friend tal @draishollywood … illegally open NOW at this hour
  • Asked me, after being here jus 4 Timbalands birthday-to leave even though she stayed over just 2nights ago-tired of @samantharonson
  • Playing the innocent card, while chatting to tmz just like my ex-father, when all I’ve ever done is fall for a girl

Yep. All she’s ever done is fall for a girl … hurl drinks at a girl, accuse a girl of doing Miley’s ex, fall in a cactus, and have DFCS officials visit, etc.

Lindsay in ShamblesSa-man-tha

WHAT A MESS: We sympathize with Samantha.

This rant apparently resulted from LL getting kicked out of a club (so much for her retirement) last night at Ronson’s request after she went insane in there.

Sam’s response to Lindsay’s online babbling was to Tweet the following:

  • “I’m not here. This isn’t happening.”
  • If I sing that to myself enough times will it be true?
  • One more thing- if you’re gonna be an idiot an do coke- do it outside the bathroom- some of us actually use them to pee in.
  • Jack and crack will make for some crazy tweets.

Indeed. We eagerly await her retaliatory Tweets once the janitor tosses the previous night’s trash into the bin outside the club and she wakes up in there.
