The Entertation Index: October 22

Brody, Adrien – The Oscar-winning actor has sued the makers of the film Giallo, saying he is still owed $640,000 and did not OK the film’s release.  If Brody can stop a film from showing just by withholding his consent, how in the world did The Village get released?

"Crazy" is one word...

Giudice, Teresa – The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has yet to re-sign with Bravo because her $250,000 base salary, plus amounts paid to family members, is less than that of co-stars.  A source complains, “She brings in ratings and [really] invites viewers into her house, even the birthing room of her daughter.  That she gets less — that’s crazy!”  It is indeed crazy…that such a “talent” makes quadruple (at least) what a teacher, firefighter, or police officer earns yearly.

GQ – After GQ published steamy photos of Glee’s Lea Michelle and Dianna Argon (both 24) with Cory Montieth (28), the Parents Television Council issued a condemnation: “It is disturbing that GQ, which is explicitly written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on ‘Glee’ in this way. It borders on pedophilia.”  Jim Nelson, editor-in-chief of GQ, responded, “The Parents Television Council must not be watching much TV these days and should learn to divide reality from fantasy of GQ…As often happens in Hollywood, these ‘kids’ are in their twenties. Cory Montieth’s almost 30!”  Montieth was particularly offended by GQ, supposedly saying, “Dude, 28 is NOT ‘almost 30.’”

Jolie, Angelina – Franklin Meyer, Angelina Jolie’s purported ex-drug dealer, details how Jolie would “snort the cocaine and the heroin” in front of him, then talk obsessively about adopting a child.   Another hazard of going on a hard-drug bender: regaining consciousness a week later with a soccer-team-sized gaggle of drooling kids.

JWoww – After initially indicating she would probably agree, Jersey Shore’s Jenni “JWoww” Farley has turned down $400,000 to pose fully nude in Playboy because she says “[t]here is a better opportunity out there, which everybody will probably see soon.”  That other opportunity better be freaking amazing because after her 15 minutes of fame are up, she’ll be lucky to get $4000.

West, Kanye – The rapper claimed on The Ellen Degeneres Show that he actually had his bottom front teeth “replaced” by gold and diamond structures.  Dental expert Dr. Emanuel Layliev says that West’s brushing regimen, along with antiseptic rinse and flossing, are a good way to keep his new teeth clean.  Layliev may have added that in West’s specific case, it may be also be best to have his jaw wired shut.
