Jack Black is one crazy mofo. He usually seems like he’s on something, but maybe he’s just high on life and really is that crazy all the time. Either way, he recently made it clear that he’s not using heroin. Thanks to a bad experience after trying the drug one time he adamantly stated that he will never try it again:

“It didn’t agree with me. I couldn’t really feel my legs, and my heart felt like it was slowing down too much. I thought, ‘Oh my God, it’s going to shut me down. I’m going to die.’

“I went down to the 7-Eleven at the bottom of the hill, and I had this strange sensation that my legs were pumping, but the feet were just sort of lifeless stumps. I did a little shopping and then walked back up the hill and survived. And never did it again.”

Jack explained that a friend gave him a small amount of heroin and he decided to try it out. He had his old girlfriend with him and asked her to make sure he didn’t die from the experiment. At least he had an insurance policy there to dial 911. The “Tenacious D” front man also admitted to being a “wild teen” and abusing coke while sniffing glue.

Jack and his son’s Godfather, Kyle Gass, are cranking out another album from his mock rock band “Tenacious D,” but it won’t be out for a while. Their 2006 musical adventure, “The Pick of Destiny,” should have a follow up after all. The rumored lead song is titled “Death Star” and could come out in 2010. However, the year of 2012 has also been mentioned as a tentative release date.

“The songs we come up with are so stupid. We’ve got one good song - that’s it. I’m not going to tell you what it’s about, though. I’m afraid someone’s going to steal it!”

I don’t know what it is about Black’s shtick that makes him lovable. It is like watching a 9 year old in a 38 year old’s body living out a dream high on Mountain Dew and cotton candy.

It seems that it isn’t just women in Hollywood who are under pressure to be slim - Jack Black wants to lose a few pounds after seeing his bare behind on the big screen. I can completely sympathize, I feel the same way after seeing mine in a hand mirror.

“When I saw my rear end in my nude scene in Margot at the Wedding, it actually had a double chin,” he tells Parade.com. “I’ve joined a gym because the next time you see me naked I’ll be trim.”

Although looking good in nude scenes is priority No. 1, health played a factor in the 38-year-old’s decision as well.

“I want to feel good too,” he says. “Now If I eat a cheeseburger and fries, it tastes so good at the time and then right after it’s like, ‘What did I do? Why?’”

OK! Magazine

Rather appropriately, the character that was nude in the film is named Jeff “Fats” Portnoy, who is filming a Vietnam War movie when the director fires him mid-production.

I wasn’t really aware of the fact that Hollywood leading men felt the pressure to be slim, but I’ve heard that the camera adds ten pounds, so I guess it stands to reason you might feel the pressure to look your very fittest. I can’t say that I think it’s great that the men seem to be feeling the pressure too. I’d much rather hear that weight isn’t a concern if you have talent, which isn’t likely to happen.

There does seem to be a double standard, that even female comedians need to be slim and attractive in films. OK! Magazine describe Jack as being ‘lovably rotund’, which is not a description I expect to be given to any Hollywood actress anytime soon.

It’s great to see Jack doing it for his health, all the same. I never feel good after eating fast food, either.

Jack Black, 38, and his wife Tanya Hayden, 37, welcomed their second child into the world last Friday, reports the National Enquirer. The newborn weighed 6 pounds at birth and has yet to have an official name. He will join the couple’s other son, two year old Samuel.

When Jack confirmed his wife’s pregnancy at the premiere of Be Kind, Rewind in early January, he quipped “I’ve been told that two children is three times as hard as one,” and said that his parenting style is “day-by-day.”

My husband keeps telling me that two kids are easier than one, but he’s trying to convince me and I doubt he truly believes it.

Congratulations to Jack and Tanya and best wishes to their family. It seems like very good timing for them, because Black had just wrapped up promotion for Kung Fu Panda at Cannes the week before. The animated film premieres in the US on June 6.

Angelina Jolie is doing press in Cannes for her upcoming animated film Kung Fu Panda. Somehow all of her co-stars are leaking the details of her pregnancy. Yesterday Jack Black let it slip in an interview that Angelina and Brad “would have as many as Brady Bunch when you have these” and Angelina laughed, got a little embarrassed and first said “we’ve confirmed it already [twins],” which may have been an attempt to make Jack Black feel better because he got all wide-mouthed after he realized it was news to the reporter. Then she added, smiling “well, Jack’s just confirmed it actually.”

Angelina said that all of her kids have seen Kung Fu Panda except her “little one, because she wouldn’t sit still” and that they loved it. It is out in theaters on June 6th.

The interviewer, Natalie Morales from The Today Show, mentioned to Matt Lauer that “we were told in a separate interview with Dustin Hoffman that she is due on August 19.”

Jack Black is expecting his second child any day now. Morales also said that Angelina told Black that “a good way to introduce their siblings to the newborn is to throw them all a sibling celebration to make sure that the whole family feels involved.”

If I was Angelina I would be pissed that my due date was out in the open like that. It’s hard enough when you have friends and family waiting for your baby to arrive and bugging you about it. I can’t imagine having the entire world interested and getting all eager for pictures and details. Brad and Angelina never even confirmed the pregnancy and were probably hoping to have at least some mystery about it. When she was pregnant with Shiloh she went all the way to Namibia, rented an entire hotel, had a big tent erected outside, and had her bodyguards threatening photographers hanging around. Now she’s in France where she’s frequently photographed, and we all know supposedly when she’s due along with the fact that she’s having twins. Look for Brad and Angelina to move on again in the next few weeks in order to get some privacy before she has the babies.

Thanks to WENN for these photos from the photocall of Kung Fu Panda at Cannes today and to People for this video and story.

Today Angelina Jolie put all the speculation and rumors to rest and announced that she is indeed having twins. Twins seem to be the “it” baby right now. I’m not sure if it’s possible to special order them, but it seems like a lot of celebs are popping them out lately. Though if Angie did indeed conceived through IVF as has been speculated, it would increase her chance of having multiples.

It’s twins for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt! In an interview that took place in Cannes on Wednesday with the “Today” show’s Natalie Morales, airing Wednesday night on Access Hollywood and in full on Thursday on “Today,” Angelina confirmed the baby news that has been rumored for months.

The twins will be the couple’s 5th & 6th children. Angelina confirmed the news in a side-by-side interview with Jack Black — they are promoting their new Dreamworks animated film, “Kung Fu Panda.” Jack was the first to let the news slip, and then Angelina followed up with her own confirmation.

“You’re gonna have as many as (the) ‘Brady Bunch’ when you have these,” Jack joked.

“It’s confirmed? Is it two?”, Natalie asked.

“Yeah, yeah, we’ve confirmed that already,” Angelina responded. “Well, Jack’s just confirmed it actually.”

“Is that true?”, Jack said jokingly.

“Yeah, you did,” Angelina replied.

“Sorry,” Jack concluded.

Angelina said that she and Brad know the sex of the babies, but that they’re keeping that private. Natalie Morales asks if she’s giving birth here or in France, Angelina replied, “Possibly.” Which technically didn’t answer the question – Morales asked if it was one or the other, and Jolie gave that response. So maybe here, maybe there, and maybe on the surface of the moon. Who knows. That’s six kids, collected in a VERY short period of time. Congrats to Brad and Angelina.
