Sean Kingston Now in ICU After Florida Jetski Crash



Hip-hop singer Sean Kingston has been stabilized and moved to the intensive care unit at a hospital after crashing his watercraft into a Miami Beach bridge, his publicist said.

Kingston and a female passenger were injured when the watercraft hit the Palm Island Bridge around 6 p.m. Sunday, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said.

Authorities are investigating the crash, and "nothing at this point would indicate that alcohol played a role," Pino said.

Kingston rose to fame with his 2007 hit "Beautiful Girls" and was also featured on songs by artists including Justin Bieber. His self-titled debut album sold over 1 million copies worldwide.

On Twitter, Bieber posted a message of support for Kingston.

"Got my friend Sean Kingston in my prayers tonight," Bieber tweeted early Monday. "A true friend and big bro. Please keep him in your prayers tonight as well."

A number of hip-hop musicians were in Miami Beach over the weekend for Urban Beach Week.
In a 2007 interview with The Associated Press, Kingston described his music as a fusion of reggae, pop, rap and R&B.

"It's Sean Kingston genre. I have my own genre," Kingston told the AP at the time. "No disrespect to no artist or dudes out there. I feel like I am my own person. I am doing my own thing."

His music has been unique among hip-hop offerings, as Kingston refused to use profanity.

"To put it in my music, that's not the message I am trying to send out," he said in the 2007 interview. "That's not the type of artist I am trying to be."

Sarah Michelle Gellar Back On CW

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Rachel Bilson are each getting a new series on the CW network this fall.
Gellar’s “Ringer” was a gift from CBS. The larger network made the pilot but could find no room on its schedule, so CBS gave its corporate sister this series where the former “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star impersonates her twin sister because she’s on the run from danger.
The CW also said Thursday that Bilson, who was in “The O.C.,” will portray a New Yorker practicing medicine in a small Southern Town in “Hart of Dixie.”
“Smallville” is ending its run on the CW, and the network is canceling “Life Unexpected” and “Hellcats.”

Gaga Beats Ophra On Forbes Celebrity 100 List


Lady Gaga topped the list by Forbes Celebrity 100 leaping over Oprah Winfrey. Lady Gaga beat Oprah this year because of her social media power. She can use Twitter and Facebook to work the 'little monsters' into a frenzy that leads to record sales and media attention. All those Little Monsters helped her sell 1 million digital downloads of the title track from the just-leaked Born This Way in five days. They also bought MAC makeup, Monster headphones and Virgin Mobile phones that were endorsed by Gaga (and featured in her videos). Her Monster Ball tour grossed $170 million from 137 shows; she's sold 15 million albums worldwide and has endorsement deals with Polaroid, Monster Cable and PlentyofFish.com. Also, a Russian billionaire reportedly paid $1 million to appear in the "Alejandro" video.



Forbes editor Dorothy Pomerantz told Reuters. "She's the best example of how celebrities will need to manage their careers in the coming years."

Charlie Sheen Reacts To Ashton Kutcher As The New Cast Of "Two And A Half Men"

Currently, Charlie Sheen reacted to the news that Ashton Kutcher is joining the cast of the TV show "Two and a Half Men."

"Ashton Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer. Oh wait, so am I," Sheen said in a statement to Access Hollywood on Friday, after the news was confirmed by CBS and Ashton himself.


Sheen went on to wish America the best in his statement, but slammed the behind the scenes players over what he considered to be a lack of loyalty.

"Enjoy the show America, Enjoy seeing 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB. Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there," Sheen's statement to Access.

As earlier reported on AccessHollywood.com, Ashton was announced as the new addition to the "Two and a Half Men" cast on Friday morning.

Heidi Montag Says She's Definitely Done With Plastic Surgery

The 24-year-old reality star Heidi Montag made headlines for her numerous plastic surgery operations. But now, Montag says she's done with cosmetic procedures.

"Obviously when I get a little older, I'll take it from there, but for this moment, I don't want anything to do with plastic surgery!" Montag told Us Weekly Wednesday at the Lemon Basket opening in West Hollywood.


So the girl who famously got nose, cheekbone and chin jobs, an eyebrow lift, breast enlargement and fat injections is really done with plastic surgery? "Definitely -- for now."

In April 2010, Montag admitted to Ryan Seacrest that there were drawbacks to her surgeries. "I'm very weird about hugging people now -- [my body] is very fragile." She also said because of her now size "E or F" breasts, jogging or intense physical exercise was out of the question.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" Star Alexis Bellino Admits She Has Eating Disorder

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" mom of three Alexis Bellino isn't shy about flaunting her fab figure in revealing outfits and tight dresses. But now the reality star reveals that she hasn't always felt confident about her body and is coming clean about the eating disorder that's been plaguing her since age 12, right around the time of her parents' divorce.

"I just didn't want to eat," Bellino says in the new issue of Life & Style. "Looking back, I think it was my way of controlling something at a time when everything else in my life was out of my control."


By the time she entered college, she had become bulimic and didn't get medical help until her first marriage fell apart in 2002. Bellino credits her current husband, Jim, who she married three years later, with helping her finally kick the calorie counting. "He loves my body," she says. "In fact, he says he likes me about five pounds heavier."

The 34-year-old -- whose weight fluctuates between 118 and 122 pounds -- admits she still has issues with food and typically eats less than 900 calories a day. (What happened to not counting calories?)

"It's not like I'm healed. This haunts me. Sweets are my weakness. I'll serve everyone else dessert, but I'll pour salt and pepper all over mine so I don't eat it," explains Bellino, who talks more about her eating disorder on this Sunday's episode. "I try not to let my weight consume me, but an eating disorder is a lifetime disease. It cannot be cured, but it doesn't have to be practiced. My goal is to reach other women -- and let them know that they can conquer it."

That sounds like the right idea, but a 5'7" woman who's only eating 900 calories a day probably needs to seek more help for herself before she can serve as an example for others.

Lady Gaga: A Pop Culture Expert?

Since she's a music icon herself, Lady Gaga clearly knows a thing or two about pop culture. That's why V Magazine has given the 25-year-old singer her own monthly column.


In her debut piece -- which appears in The Asian Issue -- the pop star writes that, "Glam culture is ultimately rooted in obsession, and those of us who are truly devoted and loyal to the lifestyle of glamour are masters of its history. Or, to put it more elegantly, we are librarians." She continues, "I myself can look at almost any hemline, silhouette, beadwork or heel architecture and tell you very precisely who designed it after them, and what cultural and musical movement parented the birth, death, and resurrection of that particular trend." This is just an excerpt from Gaga's long-winded entry, which continues on for two full pages!


In fact, the woman born Stefani Germanotta takes over V's entire issue, from the three-headed Lady Gaga cover to her interview with Elton John about her concern for Japan.

Of course, appearing in the mag isn't only about increasing her star power. Ten percent of profits from the sale of the issue will go to help the embattled country Gaga loves so much. "I have such beautiful memories of Japan and its people," the "Born This Way" crooner tells John. "And when the earthquake happened, I knew saying something just wasn't enough. The little monsters have raised over $2 million purchasing these prayers bracelets I made myself. Let's connect cultures from around the world and rebuild this beautiful country."

No Ordinary Family And Three Other TV Shows Were Cancelled By ABC Network

On Friday, ABC network announced it was canceling Brothers and Sisters, No Ordinary Family, Off the Map, V and Mr. Sunshine, EW reports. Mr. Sunshine's cancellation comes at a particularly difficult time for its star Matthew Perry; the actor checked into a rehab facility on Thursday to "focus on [his] sobriety" and quipped: "Please enjoy making fun of me on the world wide web."


Last month, the network announced that two of television's most iconic soap operas -- All My Children and One Life to Live -- would not be returning after this season.

Annette Funicello Taken To Hospital After House Catches Fire

Disney's most beloved Mouseketeer -- Annette Funicello -- was taken to a San Fernando Valley Hospital as a precaution Thursday morning after fire swept through her home in Encino, California.


Los Angeles firefighters responded to a large, single family house fire, according to Los Angeles Fox TV station KTTV. The house was badly damaged, as huge holes in the roof could be seen from an overhead helicopter. KTTV reported that people were seen removing Funicello's mementos from the home.

The 68-year-old Funicello -- who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 -- is famous for her run on the Mickey Mouse Club in the late 50s, as well as her appearance in a number of beach-themed films from the 60s such as Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, Beach Blanket Bingo, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini and Pajama Party.

Derek Boogard Found Dead In His Apartment

Derek Boogaard was found dead Friday morning in his apartment in Minneapolis. There are no further details available. Jesse Spector has reported that the Minneapolis medical examiner has said there was no foul play suspected, but that the death is under investigation, as all deaths are.

Reporter Mike Russo broke the story tonight, that Boogaard was found dead by members of his family. He was 28.

Moreover, the New York Rangers are very saddened to announce the passing of Derek Boogaard.

“Derek was an extremely kind and caring individual,” said New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather. “He was a very thoughtful person, who will be dearly missed by all those who knew him. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and teammates during this difficult time.”

Boogaard began his NHL career with Minnesota and appeared in 255 career games with the Wild from 2005-06 – 2009-10. He joined the New York Rangers on July 1, 2010, appearing in 22 games in the 2010-11 season.

Throughout his career, Boogaard sought to make a difference in the communities he played in, taking part in numerous charitable endeavors. Boogaard was a supporter of the Defending the Blue Line Foundation, a non-profit charitable foundation whose mission is to ensure that children of military members are afforded every opportunity to participate in the great sport of hockey. While with the Rangers, he created “Boogaard’s Booguardians,” hosting military members and their families at all New York Ranger home games. In addition, he made multiple appearances with partner organizations of the Garden of Dreams Foundation, the non-profit charity that works closely with all areas of Madison Square Garden, including the New York Knicks, Rangers, Liberty, MSG Media, MSG Entertainment and Fuse “to make dreams come true for kids facing obstacles”.

The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native was originally Minnesota’s seventh round choice, 202nd overall, in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.
