My Kids Aren't Allowed to Google Me: Brad Pitt

My Kids Arent Allowed to Google Me Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt and his partner, Angelina Jolie's name yields hundreds of millions of results.

But their kids would never know it.

"On all the kids' computers we had our names blocked," the actor, 48, told Germany's Bild. "They can't Google their mom and dad. I don't want to make myself dependent on what other people think."

Pitt adds that he and Jolie, 36, aren't exactly searching for themselves either. "We don't even notice all the noise," he said.

The same could be said for his stance on aging. Despite being just two years away from the big 5-0, the actor says he enjoys getting older.

"I love becoming an older man. Your thoughts get clearer."

Those thoughts may include a wedding in the works. The actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he and Jolie "would like to marry."

"It seems to mean more and more to our kids," he added.Source

Michael Jackson Honored By His Kids

Michael Jackson Honored By His Kids

After a decades-long career filled with massive hits like "Bad" and "Thriller," you might think the late Michael Jackson had earned every award out there. Surprisingly, though, the King of Pop was only honored in front of Hollywood's famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Thursday during a ceremony featuring his three children. Prince, 14, Paris, 13, and Blanket, 9, used their father's signature shoes and glittery glove to leave his hand and foot prints in the famous sidewalk, alongside those of Marilyn Monroe, Fred Astaire, and many more.


And despite Michael's many other honors, son Prince noted that the star would have found this one meaningful.

"My dad won the lifetime achievement award. It was an award he strived and worked the hardest to get but for me, and I think for him as well, this right here is his lifetime achievement award," Prince revealed. "This is what he strived to get and this is what we are giving him now today."

"I don't usually get nervous, but I'm kind of a little nervous right now," Justin told the crowd. "Michael meant so much to me, I know that he meant a lot to you guys as well. He was more than entertainer. He was an inspiration. He was kind, gentle ... he was very charitable. People are going to remember him for his dancing and singing, but people have to remember him for being the man that he was. Everything I do ... I look at Michael, I want to be as good as he was."

Justin also noted that he often sang "Rockin' Robin" in the mirror when he was "really little," and performed a verse a cappella for the crowd. Do you think Michael would approve of his rendition?

Looks like we'll never know. Unfortunately, as Justin revealed to "Access Hollywood," the two never crossed paths since the Canadian crooner was just beginning his career when Michael died in June 2009.

"I basically released my first single the week he passed, so it was really unfortunate," Justin said. "So I feel like, it's just really sad. That was one person I really wanted to meet." Source

Megan Fox Island Video Inspires Young Brazilian Men To Learn English

"Transformers" star Megan Fox is the latest Hollywood celeb to make a little extra cash appearing in a foreign commercial. And surprise: This one isn't even embarrassing! (Well, it's definitely less embarrassing than, say, "Jonah Hex.")

Following the lead of fellow foreign pitchmen Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Aniston, Fox puts her appeal to work in this ad for Brazilian foreign-language school CCAA. A pair of teen boys wash up on a remote island after a plane crash, only to be greeted by the very alluring Ms. Fox. She welcomes them to "Megan Fox Island," where clones of Megan frolic together in paradise. Every Brazilian boy's dream, right?

But alas, the teens are stopped short when they can't communicate with Megan -- because they can't speak English. (Guess she's not interested in the international language of love.) Annoyed, the starlet banishes the boys back to the sea, where they arrive on another, less enticing island: Mike Tyson Island, where clones of the boxing champ (in a nice cameo) preside over a bleak, savage wasteland.

If there's a better reason for young Brazilian boys to learn English, we haven't heard it

Kobe Bryant divorce: Wife Vanessa gets $18.8 million in property

In her divorce from Kobe Bryant, wife Vanessa will get 3 mansions

Kobe Bryant's divorce from his wife Vanessa has not be finalized, but Orange County property records show the couple is beginning to distribute their assets.

Three mansions in Newport Beach's upscale Newport Coast community have recently placed in Vanessa Bryant's name.

The three properties have a total value of $18.8 million, according to property records on file at the Orange County Clerk-Recorders Office in Santa Ana.

Neither of the attorneys representing the couple was available for comment Friday.

Vanessa Bryant filed a divorce petition in Orange County Superior Court in December, citing "irreconcilable differences." The couple released a joint statement then saying that they had "resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately."

The couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, Vanessa Bryant's mother previously told a Times reporter. If true, she would be entitled to half of their community property.

Some estimates put Kobe Bryant's net worth at $150 million. Legal experts said Vanessa Bryant will probably receive at least $75 million in addition to ongoing spousal and child support.

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa married on April 18, 2001, at St. Edward Roman Catholic Church in Dana Point, California.

Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris (born March 10, 1940) is an American martial artist and actor. After serving in the United States Air Force, he began his rise to fame as a martial artist and has since founded his own school, Chun Kuk Do. As a result of his "tough guy" image, an Internet phenomenon began in 2005 known as Chuck Norris facts, ascribing various implausible or even impossible feats to Norris.

Norris appeared in a number of action films, such as Way of the Dragon in which he starred alongside Bruce Lee and was The Cannon Group's leading star in the 1980s. He next played the starring role in the television series Walker, Texas Ranger from 1993 to 2001.

Norris is a devout Christian and politically conservative. He has written several books on Christianity and donated to a number of Republican candidates and causes. In 2007 and 2008, he campaigned for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who was running for the Republican nomination for President in 2008.

Chuck Norris endorses Newt Gingrich

The "Walker, Texas Ranger" star writes on the conservative website World Net Daily that he's supporting Newt Gingrich's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.

"We believe Newt's experience, leadership, knowledge, wisdom, faith and even humility to learn from his failures (personal and public) can return America to her glory days," Norris writes. "And he is the best man left on the battlefield who is able to outwit, outplay and outlast Obama and his campaign machine."

Gingrich responded in the most amazing way possible. The candidate wrote on his Twitter, "Honored to have Chuck Norris' endorsement. He will make an excellent Secretary of Attack."

Boyz II Men

Boyz II Men
Boyz II Men is an American R&B vocal group best known for emotional ballads and a cappella harmonies. They are the most successful R&B group of all time, having sold more than 60 million albums worldwide. In the 1990s, Boyz II Men found fame on Motown Records as a quartet, but original member Michael McCary left the group in 2003 due to health issues. Currently the group is a trio signed to Decca Records, with members Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman. The group won four Grammy Awards in the 1990s, and the trio was nominated for two Grammys in 2009.

Boyz II Men formed at the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts in 1988 as a quintet; however, original member Marc Nelson left the group before its first studio recording to pursue a solo career. In the 1990s, Boyz II Men gained international celebrity behind unprecedented success on the pop charts. The group's first single to reach number 1, 1992's "End of the Road", a phenomenal hit, reached the top of charts across the globe. "End of the Road" would set a new record for longevity, staying at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 weeks, breaking a decades-old record held by Elvis Presley.

Boyz II Men would exceed even that record later in the decade with hits "I'll Make Love to You" and "One Sweet Day" (with Mariah Carey), which each exceeded records for the longest period of time a single remained at number 1. As of 2010, "One Sweet Day" still holds the all-time record with 16 weeks at the top of the Hot 100. Although "On Bended Knee" did not exceed any records, it was still a very popular song that reached number 1 and made Boyz II Men the third artist (after The Beatles and Elvis) to replace themselves at the number one rating of the Billboard Hot 100. Because of this, Boyz II Men are among the only artists that have stayed at the number one spot cumulatively 50 times, just fourth behind Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Mariah Carey. They also hold the numbers one, three and four spots for 3 of the longest running singles in music history with "One Sweet Day," "I'll Make Love to You" and "End of the Road." These achievements were enough to earn Boyz II Men recognition as Billboard Magazine's most successful musical group of the 1990s

On January 5, 2012, Boyz II Men were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

I'm Not Crazy Anymore-Charlie Sheen

I'm Not Crazy Anymore-Charlie Sheen
"I'm not crazy anymore. That was an episode," Charlie Sheen told reporters at Sunday night's FOX Television Critics Association party in Pasadena, Calif. "I think I'm a different person than I was yesterday. Everything is a lot more mellow and focused and much more rooted in reality." The headline-making 46-year-old actor is excited to begin shooting his new FX show, "Anger Management," which plans to film 10 episodes in six weeks.

"I've been at this 30 years. It's nice to be in a situation where the people I'm working with are excited about my input. That wasn't the case for a long time," he said.

Charlie said it is "premature" to name other actors who might guest star on his new series, but teased that "everybody" wants to be on the new comedy.

The actor also said he's traded in Twitter rants and nights with his former Goddesses for quality time with his family.

"I've been spending a lot of time with the kids, a lot of time with the family and I'm getting back into work mode," he explained. "I'm a single guy hanging out with my children."


As for his former "Two and a Half Men" co-star Jon Cryer and the show's producer Chuck Lorre, he says some lines of communication are open.

"Jon and I text. Chuck, no," he explained. "But at some point we are going to have to get some closure there."
