Amanda Peet's Smart-Ass Intruder!

wenn2395094.jpg

As a burglar crept into the apartment of Amanda Peet on Tuesday, her assistant received quite the greeting!

Peet's employee, Michelle Werner arrived at the actress' Duane Street loft at 11 a.m. to find a stranger in her midst holding a jewelry box.

And his response when discovered?!

"What's up, bitch? I live here," he exclaimed.

The thief got away with the box, valued at $900, and is thought to have entered the residence through the skylight.

Thankfully, all Werner received was a little bit of sass - she was not injured!

We would have peed ourselves!

From TV to Video Game

videogamestv.jpg

Discovery Communications is getting playful with two of its top-rated series. You can now enjoy all the thrills of Man vs. Wild and Deadliest Catch in the palm of your hand, or at least through your Playstation.

The shows are being turned into video games for PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. The "action-oriented" games are suppose to "mirror a lot of what happens on the show."

For example, in the Wild game, Bear Grylls guides players as they create a character and use survival skills in various landscapes and climates.

We suppose you can guess what the Deadliest Catch game will be like - you go fishing.

The fishing game launches sometime this coming spring while the other one will be out at the end of 2011.

The world of video games just got a little bit lamer!

Balloon Boy's Mom Admits It Was A Hoax!

balloon_guilt.jpg

At least the entire family isn't full of liars!

Balloon Boy's mother, Mayumi Heene admitted to police that the entire debacle involving their son Falcon last week was a hoax!

To pump up the hype around the family in hopes of snagging their own reality show!

Finally!

Thank you!

According to legal docs, Mayumi says her husband Richard devised the plan two weeks prior to the incident, and the UFO balloon was "specifically made to carry out this hoax" and that both she and Richard "had instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as the media regarding this hoax."

Of course Richard Heene is still delusional, with his lawyer stating that Mayumi's "allegations are cheap" and that there is no actual evidence proving her statements.

Nice try!

Oscars Announce New Production Team

91997473oscar.jpg

Maybe these two will spice it up this year?

Former chairman of Fox and current head producer at Pandemonium Films, Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman, Hairspray director and So You Think You Can Dance choreographer and judge, are teaming up to produce the 82nd Academy Awards Telecast in March 2010.

Based on Shankman's background, it's assumed that there might be strong song-and-dance elements for this year's show. Shankman says of his new responsibility:

“The last time I was on the show was as a dancer, and to come back as a producer is such an unbelievable honor. I look forward to collaborating with Bill to celebrate the world’s collective love of movies and provide a fun escape from the difficult times we’re living in. Simply put, there is no show like the Oscars and I am thrilled to be a part of our industry’s most treasured tradition.”

Usually the Oscars are a bit of a snoozefest once the red carpet ends, but maybe Shankman and Mechanic will cook up something good!

A host hasn't been announced yet, but might we suggest Perezzers?

We'll keep ya entertained!

Mexico Launches Pink Taxis For Women

Well this seems like a good solution for the time being!

In Puebla, Mexico a privately funded venture, Pink Taxi de Puebla, has been launched to provide a safer, harassment-free transportation option for women in the city.

The cabs are bright pink and driven by female taxi drivers only for women only. Depending on the success of the program, the Pink Taxis could be expanded to other cities.

Some women's rights activists aren't pleased arguing that it doesn't get to the root of the problem. While this may be true, presently it seems like a decent option for women who are fed up with being treated poorly by male taxi drivers. One of the taxi drivers explains:

"Some of the women who have been on board tell us how male taxi drivers cross the line and try to flirt with them and make inappropriate propositions. They won't have that feeling of insecurity, and they feel more relaxed."

Not only do the pink taxis have a tracking device and emergency alarm buttons, but also beauty supplies available by request!

What do U think of this new women-only transportation method?

Balloon Boy's Family Under Federal Investigation

Falcon and friends are in BIG trouble!

The Heene Family is now under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration. Spokesman for the FAA Mike Fergus explains:

"This is unusual. But we investigate any air incident. The investigation is solely focusing on if we had any violations of our regulatory authority or regulations. This is a particularly peculiar [case] so I wouldn't even venture a guess what our legal department would do if it is found there was a violation."

The local authorities are already investigating Richard and Mayumi Heene for criminal behavior including influencing a public official and the delinquency of a minor.

Well you guys wanted attention and you got it!

Be careful what you wish for!

He Got Started Early!

Benicio del Toro was a player before he even hit puberty!

In a recent interview in Playboy, Benicio revealed that while other celebs were late bloomers (nothing but love for you Tina Fey), he gave up his V-Card at the tender age of 13!

What?! Crazy!

He explains:

“I remember liking girls in pre-kindergarten in Puerto Rico, when I was only three or four. I was about 13 when I lost my virginity, and that first experience was totally a nervous situation. It was in a house with someone I had known only a little bit. She was slightly older, and she’d done it before … I wasn’t exactly a natural, but it was good. …”

Damn! Benicio had more game than some guys do now! And with an older woman!

An idol for young Puerto Rican boys everywhere for sure!
