Chappelle doesn’t want new episodes to air

Dave Chappelle in character with the caption a vast black-wing conspiracy brought me down

Dave Chappelle claims that he probably won’t return to Comedy Central if they show the new material that he shot before his abrupt departure in May:

“I feel like it’s kind of a bully move,” Chappelle, 32, told the Dayton Daily News, which publishes near his Ohio home. “That’s just how I feel about it. I don’t know if that’s the case. But if people don’t watch it, then I’d be more than happy.”

For his part, Chappelle is non-committal. Comedy Central of course wants him to return to his wildly successful show:

Not that Chappelle is completely shutting the door on the possibility of his Comedy Central return, as he warns: “I think if they air that stuff, I can’t see how I’m going to be able to. That will damage our relationship.”

In a statement to the Associated Press, Comedy Central said: “We are still waiting patiently for Dave to return to work, but we know that our viewers are looking forward to seeing the material he produced for the third season.”

According to this website, Chappelle wasn’t crazy at all, but was pressured by a cabal of powerful African-Americans, including Jesse Jackson, Oprah, and Bill Cosby, to step down. The site was later dismissed as a viral marketing campaign for a Chappelle show writer. I totally believed that shit, though, until I actually did the research for this post.

Update: “Dave Chappelle’s Block Party” is supposed to be hilarious.

Carmen Electra thought she was getting paid for sex and still took the money

Carmed Electra at the Opera with the caption Hopefully he'll be satisfied with a lot of cleavage - electra, Pamela anderson was smarter than this ho - lugner
Carmen Electra’s shoddy logic reveals how much of a ho she really is. She went the opera as a paid guest of an Austrian businessman who is known for hiring actresses to accompany him to the event. She thought he really wanted sex, though, so she took the money and left early!

Every year Richard Lugner pays a sexy celebrity to join alongside him to the prestigious event, previous ‘dates’ include Pamela Anderson, Ivana Trump, Sophia Loren, Farrah Fawcett, Sarah, Duchess of York, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Grace Jones, Joan Collins and Andie MacDowell.

But Carmen has never heard of Lugner and thought that the invitation to Thursday’s event to be an lewd proposal. According to the AP, “She forced her benefactor to present a statutory declaration that he wasn’t expecting an intimate date and banned him from picking her up at Vienna airport.”

Richard says, “She thought I was looking for a sexual adventure and emphasized that she is a married woman. Every year I go with my wife and my child and pick up my guest at the airport. My wife is always with me. I even told her management that she can bring her husband (Dave Navarro) as well, even if he’s all covered with tattoos and you can only see his fingernails.”

When the two eventually met, their date was very brief due to Carmen bolting from the scene, insisting that her tight low-cut dress wasn’t short enough to waltz in.

Hollywood Tuna reports that Electra was paid a mere $1,255 dollars, but they seem to have confused the cost of the evening with the unknown amount paid to Electra to serve as an escort. Hopefully Electra thinks her sexual favors are worth at least five figures.

K-Fed’s in Hawaii

K-Fed seems to have joined his foolish wife in Hawaii. Here are some snaggle-tooth pictures of him talking on the phone. I know, these are thrilling. She may have kicked him out of the house, but he’s still hanging around. [via]

Update: According to British tab “The Sun,” Britney bought a 3 million house in Hawai hoping to rekindle her relationship. I can’t keep up anymore, but the girl is just trying too hard. She should have waited to get married. The same crap would have happened to me if I married any of the idiots I dated in my early twenties. [via]

Two more after the jump.

Mariah Carey poses for swag

Here are some pictures of Mariah Carey posing at Revlon’s pre-Oscar celebrity “suite.” [via] According to Entertainment Tonight celebs are getting pre-Oscar cosmetics:

Meanwhile, in other Oscar news and on the celebrity pampering front, to calm stars’ nerves and prepare them for the big night, several “style suites” are available to help celebrities relax, refine fashion looks and stock up on key accessories.

What a creative way to explain that celebrities get stuff in exchange for free product promotion. I really hate the word “swag,” it sounds so ridiculous.

Oh and that’s Mariah’s hairstylist Kristofer Buckle. In case you haven’t heard the important news, hairstylists are the new BFs. Two more pictures after the jump.

Keira Knightly poses in exchange for spa treatment

Keira looks like she had a manicure at the Diamond Aquifer pre-oscar suite. If she has any sense she’ll choose a new color for the Oscars. She seems to have perfected the “I’m so full of shit” pose. Unfortunately they don’t do eyebrows at these mini-spa suites. [via]

Keira is said to be dating fellow Pride and Prejudice star, Rupert Friend. She is also said to be a royal pain in the ass.

Update: Keira Knightly to be the new face of Chanel cosmetics.

Three more after the jump.

Photos of Matthew McConaughey in Failure to Launch

Failure to Launch will be in theatres March 10. It really looks like it’s going to suck and the title could be prophetic, but I might watch it on DVD. The plot is genius. Here’s the synopsis from the official movie site (which I had to transcribe and can’t link properly because it’s all Flash - what poor usability):

Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) has never been able to leave the nest. He’s always had some reason or other, but now, his desperate parents have had enough. They hire the gorgeous and talented girl of his dreams (Sarah Jessica Parker) to get him to move out of the house

And they thought SJP was right for this role because…(?)
Failure also features Kathy Bates, Terry Bradshaw, and Bradley Cooper.

Update: Matt didn’t have much to say when asked about his co-star SJP, and it’s easy to infer from his comments that he didn’t get along with her. Sarah blew off the suggestion that there were any problems on set.

Jessica Simpson to publish breakup poetry

Contact Music reports that Jessica Simpson is planning to release her cathartic post-breakup poetry. I bet McCauley Culkin reads like Tolstoy compared to her.

JESSICA SIMPSON is planning to share the poetry she has been writing since her marriage split last year (06) with her fans. The pop star has been scribbling down her most personal thoughts and now she’s hoping to turn her musings into a new book. She says, “It’s a piece of my heart I want to share with my fans.”

Here are some cute pictures from Japanese magazines published last year. (Before she poured her heart out to share with her fans.) Some of the captions are humorously mangled in typical Japanese to English style. Six more after the jump. [via]

Old people confuse JLove with ghost whispering TV character

Jennifer Love Hewitt feels sorry for her troubled fans, and spends an inordinate amount of time listening to their problems and trying to help them. She’s especially bothered when she can’t channel her on-screen character, the ghost whisperer, to help widows speak to their dead husbands:

Actress JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT is regularly invited to appear at funerals because fans confuse her with her GHOST WHISPERER character, MELINDA…

She explains, “… a part of me really feels bad that I can’t help these people. “I had this woman come up to me and she was so sweet, she was probably 75 and we’re sitting there talking and she’s telling me how on Friday nights she gets together with her husband and they hold hands on the couch and they eat their favourite meal and they watch the show and how she never misses it and she loves it. “Like 20 minutes into the conversation, I realised that her husband was dead. “She likes the show because she thinks her husband comes to spend time with her then, but I was broken-hearted because I didn’t know how to be the Ghost Whisperer in real life. “I was like, ‘What do I do?’ You can’t fake your way through something like that. It was really hard.”

JLove spoke to a crazy old woman for 20 minutes, and instead of walking away annoyed, she felt guilty that she couldn’t help her! Honey, no one can help someone who thinks they watch TV with their dead spouse.

On February 26th JLove hosted the LA County “Race for the Cure” to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. She wanted to “honor her aunt who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is undergoing treatment.” [via]

She has to be the kindest celebrity ever.

Here are some Ghost Whisperer promotion photos. Pictures of J.Love speaking at the “Race for the Cure” are after the jump. [via] and [via]
