“Glee” co-creator Ryan Murphy openly expressed his anger with the Grammy award-winning band Kings of Leon, calling them "self-centered" during an Interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“Skins” creator Bryan Elsley has had enough of critics who have claimed the show’s lurid subject matter and occasional nudity makes it dangerous for children or even perhaps “child pornography.” Advertisers like Taco Bell, Wrigley and now Subway have all pulled ads to the show.

Promoters from the Hollywood Boxing Federation have supposedly offered Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan $1 million dollars if they step in to the ring and box each other. Can you imagine that?

One rehabbed starlet donning fat gloves and taking it to a heiress who has it all. The dyed blonde, tough girl from New York and the blonde, extensions-filled gal from Beverly Hills.
