Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz: Out of Breaking Dawn?!?

May 11, 2010


Numerous reports have confirmed that Summit Entertainment and The Twilight Saga producers will divide Breaking Dawn into two films.

So, why has an official announcement still not been made regarding the final story in this franchise? Because a salary dispute may actually keep two key players from appearing in the final chapter.

No, not Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart. Both of these stars, along with Taylor Lautner, have agreed to anchor both Breaking Dawn installments, with significant raises to show for it.

HOWEVER, neither Kellan Lutz nor Ashley Greene is close to a deal for the second of the two flicks. According to The Hollywood Reporter, each wants a bigger payday ($4 million) than the studio is willing to deliver.

“We may have a situation where one of them is thrown out on the street to make a point,” a source actually said.

Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz

Might The Twilight Saga conclude without Kellan Lutz and/or Ashley Greene?!?

Such a drastic move would not be unprecedented, even within the Twilight universe itself:

Following her role as Victoria in Twilight and New Moon, Rachelle Lefevre was replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard in Eclipse.

Fans were distressed enough about that decision – but there could be an all-out mutiny if anyone in the Cullen clan is replaced with a new actor or actress. What do you think of this development?

Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne in Bar Fight?


Did Lindsay Lohan get into a fight with Avril Lavigne in Hollywood?

The New York Post claims the singer yelled at the alleged actress: “Get the hell out of my face, you are fake, you are a loser” at the Chateau Marmont Hotel.

“I don’t like false people. Stay away from me and my friends.”

We can see that. According to the paper, Lindsay Lohan fumed back, “Don’t threaten me!” before trying unsuccessfully to get security to kick Lavigne out.

Lohan denies it, though, telling Us Weekly, “That is not true.”

Lohan FeverAvril Action

Did Lindsay Lohan and Avril Lavigne almost duke it out?

The star says she doesn’t understand why she’s the subject of gossip. “I don’t know why I am a target … I think there’s a big misconception of who I am.”

NOTE: It might help if you didn’t stay out until 6 a.m., falling into cacti, being carted out of clubs, posing with guns and the like. Just an idea, you moron.

Or, even more topically, if you didn’t throw drinks at Samantha Ronson, who called her “an angry human being” afterward and told her to lay off the crack.

Right, she’s a “target” and being a bar fight is sooo unrealistic.

Who do you think would win in a bar fight?

The Hills Preview: Speidi is Seriously Losing it


The first season of The Hills seems like … well, five seasons ago.

Back then, when Heidi Montag was the bubbly, slightly annoying but harmless BFF of Lauren Conrad, things made sense. Times were easier, and they were good.

Fast forward to May 2010 and the surgically enhanced Stepford Wife knockoff can’t barely move her face to utter MTV’s fake dialogue after all those operations.

In tonight’s episode, Heidi gives Spencer Pratt what seems like a pleasant greeting: “Hi honey! Good to see you!” Only she sounds like a robotic, Barbie cyborg.

Having hired a planner to arrange a party for Enzo, the little kid MTV hired to give her baby fever last season, Heidi Montag must still be hurting from surgery.

Seriously, the girl’s face cannot move. At. All. Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt’s crystals (see last week’s episode) clearly aren’t working, as he’s about to blow a gasket.

These two need psychiatric help, and soon.

However much money Enzo’s parents got paid to subject their child to Speidi, it wasn’t nearly enough. What party theme could possibly be worse for a little kid?

Okay, maybe One Night with Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods’ Cocktail Waitress Paradise and The Tattooed White Power Regions of Michelle McGee would be worse.

Siohvaughn Wade Jailed in Custody Case


Messy NBA divorces and baby mama drama are all too common these days. On this Tuesday afternoon, it’s the saga of Dwyane Wade’s wife making headlines.

Siohvaughn Wade was taken into police custody today in Chicago after bailing on a mandatory hearing yesterday in the estranged pair’s ongoing divorce war.

The Cook County Sheriff’s Department says Siohvaughn was a wanted woman, and taken into custody this morning when she showed up to court in Chicago.

Yesterday, the court issued an order asking police to track her down.

Why did Siohvaughn Wade skip a mandatory court date?

In court today, Siohvaughn’s attorney filed papers claiming that she – the attorney – was involved in a car accident yesterday, and asked that the order be rescinded citing the accident as the reason why Siohvaughn was a no-show.

The judge didn’t buy it. Siohvaughn was jailed at 11:15 a.m.

Amusingly, Siohvaughn must have known the car accident excuse wasn’t going to work, because court officials say she showed up with her $10,000 bond in hand.

She is therefore now out of custody as of this posting.

Last week, she filed a lawsuit alleging her husband’s relationship and heavy petting with Gabrielle Union has caused distress to her and the couple’s two children.

Siohvaugh also accused Dwyane of giving her an STD.

Donald Trump Defends Racy Miss USA Pictures


Who would have guessed that Carrie Prejean would be good for something?

The hypocritical, attention-loving liar may have lost her crown last year following the emergence of topless photos – but this incident led to enormous PR for the Miss USA Pageant, which has capitalized on that momentum by stripping down its contestants for this month’s promo shots.

Hot case in point, Miss Washington Tracy Turnure:

Donald Trump, who owns the pageant, went on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show yesterday and defended the event’s decision to embrace its sexy side. Sort of.

“I think they’ve gone maybe a little over the top this year. These pictures are pretty wild,” he said. “But the girls are incredible.”

The Donald added that it’s all good because the ratings are high:

“We are in a different age. They are a little bit sexy but I’ll tell you what – everybody’s watching, so I have no problems with it. If you look at Miss America, it’s now off network television – and we’re doing better than ever, so I really have no problem with it.”

Do you? Has the pageant (which airs on May 16) gone overboard? Or is it a welcome change for its organizers to stop pretending beauty pageants are about anything other than appearances?

Ponder those questions and ogle a few more of these scantily-clad contestants now:

ESPN to Erin Andrews Stalker: Pay Up You Perv!


Creepy Michael David Barrett stalked Erin Andrews last year. He ended up costing ESPN a lot of money in extra security costs for its employee as a result.

Money the network wants back.

ESPN wants the perv who shot the peephole video of Erin Andrews nude to cough up more than $300,000 to help pay for the mess he’s caused everyone.

Andrews, a sideline reporter for ESPN and current Dancing with the Stars hopeful, received an unrelated round of death threats earlier this year as well.

DANCING HEAT: Erin Andrews’ profile has only grown since.

According to federal documents filed yesterday in California, the network claims they have to cough up a ton of cash to pay for extra security for Andrews.

ESPN also claims they incurred losses “from assisting the government in its investigation” and demands Barrett pay back ALL of the $327,442.27.

Michael David Barrett pleaded guilty to one count of being a dirty individual stalking Andrews last year and began serving a 30-month sentence May 3.

A hearing on the ESPN matter is set for June 7.

Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber Do Dinner, Tweens Wonder: Each Other Next?


Major OMG alert, THG readers. We’re hope you’re not operating any heavy machinery while reading this:

Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus went out to dinner last night at Ari-Ya Sushi in West Hollywood, reports X17 Online.

Not sighted on the premises: Miley’s boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth. Spotted all around this young power duo: The dropped jaws of onlookers, all with the same thought: They’re not on a date… are they?!?

It’s unlikely, but it’s also unclear. Cyrus said the pair is working on a “side project,” while Bieber added Miley is “having fun with me.”

As as all know, Miley’s fun often involves expensive corsets and crotch gyrations.

In February, Bieber said Cyrus was not his type, but opinions change.

Sadly, the utter insanity of Justin’s fans likely do not.

Cyrus might wanna sleep with one eye open this week, considering the death threats Bieber fans aimed at Kim Kardashian after she hung out with the singer at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

We often make fun of Miley, but let’s get serious Bieber supports: don’t murder her.

Tyra’s a novelist!

TyraBanks0511.jpg

Tyra Banks is expanding her media empire — as an author! “I’m so EXCITED!! I said I was going to do it, and here it is!” Tyra wrote on her website about her new book, Modelland. “It’s for all the girls and guys who want a lot more FANTASY in their lives… and some fierceness and magic, romance and mystery, crazy and wild adventures, and yeah, some danger too.” The book — the first in a series of three from Bankable Books, a new division of the America’s Next Top Model host’s company — follows a teenager who is transported to a fantasy world full of strong, powerful women named Intoxibellas. Writing it was a dream come true for Tyra. “Modelland has always been a part of my mind and my heart,” she wrote. “Ever since I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to pick up a new book and see what worlds the writers had created for me. I especially loved books with strong girls and women — you know, girls with guts, smarts and attitude — and then one day it came to me… MODELLAND!”
