Few students can get into Columbia University- but who can claim this- James Franco got into Columbia and has actually managed to sleep in one of the darned lectures? No one, and absolutely no one can beat what Mr. Franco is capable of doing.

And in the long run, James Franco would still be making more bucks than the poor folks who had to stay awake through all the lectures at Columbia University. Way to go James, you just proved what you’re capable of doing. How about you, when was the last time you slept at a university lecture?

Whoever would forget Chuck Norris, one of the more bearded swashbuckling action stars of the late eighties and seventies? Even during the nineties, Chuck Norris was still fighting slave traders somewhere in Cambodia, using military helicopters and the inhuman things he could do with his rough palms.

This month Mr. Norris turns 69- and he’s still looking pretty good with that beard. Keep it up Mr. Norris, we still like your style. How about you, when was the last time you watched a Chuck Norris film? Was it good? How good was it?

Height matters for Mic Jagger, one of the most resilient voices on television, and of course, radio. His girlfriend, who goes by the name of L’Wren is actually six feet and four inches in height. A towering pretty, voluptuous woman, no doubt.

Mic Jagger himself is no dwarf, he’s five feet and four inches. But here’s where Ms. L’Wren will never beat her new lover- Mic Jagger will always be more than two decades older than her.

In any case, it looks like that two are a quite happy couple.

Whoever said that the progeny of OctoMom would be clean of the sin of wanting too much attention was dead wrong. Just recently, an Octo Kid was photographed while playing with one of the cameras of a crew of paparazzi near their home.

Talk about being really friendly with the “enemies”. OctoMom had been reportedly screaming about the whole debacle, saying that her kid should never be caught playing with the paparazzi. Hey, the paparazzi are just doing their job for the little bucks, while OctoMom is getting a real good paycheck for just being OctoMom.

On the set of Terminator, Christian Bale unleashes a torrent of expletives that sent people around him reeling in utmost pain. Talk about being touchy about his “art” and “craft”. It seems that the burly actor is being a bit too prima donna about being “the” Christian Bale that they had to edit the storyline of Terminator to fit his needs.

According to the director, Bale is the only actor in Hollywood that still has some credibility today. So much for the trust in a good actor, they had to scramble to edit the story to make it worthy for a screaming, cursing Bale.

You heard us right, this guy’s house (which is for sale, and requires at least one managers check amounting to one hundred sixteen thousand dollars) is absolutely kitsch and dirty. On the day of the initial bidding for the mansion, only two kindred souls showed up and guess what- they didn’t have the check that was required!

This only proves that people still have a lot of taste, and people are not willing to throw away big money just like that. So Michael Vick, time to sweep the dog house clean to make it more saleable to the guys with the wads of cash.

Coolio, the rapper and emcee that’s been around since 1994 (performing for students, rappers, fans and the occasional group of burly military people) has been arrested at the Los Angeles airport for carrying around cocaine.

This is not the first time that Coolio had been caught for such antics, and it has been reported that Coolio had even touched one of the security personnel because he didn’t want the people to search him.

Coolio, who has been ever-present in the minds of his fans and the few folks who had watched Dangerous Minds with Michelle Pfeiffer is actually one of the more active rappers around.

Olympic medalist Michael Phelps has been having a rough time since cops found him in a party doing things he shouldn’t be doing… in front of a snapping camera. That’s right; even the companies that he had been endorsing since his illustrious career began had felt that he was really a loser for doing such a thing. It’s like watching a really bad re-run of “Olympic Medalists Gone Wild”.

Anyway, there’s a bit of good news here- Phelps won’t be charged anymore. Actually, he’s getting off quite well and promises that he won’t be smoking any more pot in the coming days.

The celebrity couple Rihanna and Chris Brown is by far one of the cuddliest and innocent looking in Hollywood. No stain of sin, so to speak. But what if we say that Mr. Brown here had a nice relationship with a woman who is now turning forty? That ought make things a bit more complicated.

According to a three-page report regarding a text message in Brown’s mobile phone, his manager Tina Brown was suggesting that they do something later at night. Rihanna found the text message, hit Brown, and of course, old Brown hit Rihanna back. Such is love.

What do you do when a burly cop from Los Angeles signals you to stop because you’ve absentmindedly forgotten that seatbelts are there to keep your head from banging into the windshield? Talk your way out of it, quick!

At least, that’s what good old Simon Cowell did when this situation happened to him. Instead of being antagonistic or what not, the American Idol figure just waved his majestic and illustrious hand and the cop was of course, mesmerized. Talk about timing- if Idol had never went on air, Mr. Cowell would probably be having a rougher time of it on the outside world.
