Here's where the drama comes in.

If you already had a ticket for one of the Fox Theatre shows, you can't use it for the JLA concerts.

The set built for the tour incorporates huge screens used throughout the concert. They should have figured out which places could support the technical production of the show before people bought tickets. Didn't this just happen with the Orlando show too?

Lady Gaga Keeps The Poison Down: The MTV News Quote Of The Day

"When I say things like, 'Do you love me? Do you want to f--- me? Come on, Hollywood, take my picture,' it's the ultimate epitome of what that fame monster is. And somehow, if you make fun of it or you make it a bit more tangible, fame is something that my fans can have for themselves. It's not quite so poisonous."

He’s been shot, repeatedly beaten to bloody hell, circled by a hungry shark, chased by a Smoke Monster, electrocuted and locked in a polar-bear cage with only decades-old fish biscuits for sustenance. But James “Sawyer” Ford’s greatest adversary has long been Josh Holloway, who decreed early on that his wily hillbilly deserved to die as karmic penance for years spent conning the innocent.

But with just four months left of filming on the final season of Lost, the 40-year-old actor has had a change of heart. He’s lobbying for a stay of execution. “After six years, I love this character—he’s a living, breathing part of me,” says Holloway. “And I think he deserves a second chance to rectify some things he’s done. It would be a shame if he were not given that opportunity. I’d feel cheated.”

OMG FRINGE
YOU GUYS... JOSH JACKSON IS REALLY HOT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNEW THAT OR NOT.

When you mention Hugh Jackman to any discerning cinephile, or drop his name in a game of Dream Casting, people will sneer. "That man cannot act." At best, they'll say "Well, he's really good as Wolverine!" before complimenting his physique, While he certainly is good as Wolverine, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with his rippling definition, he can act. It seems he can't pick a script to save his life, but he can act.

New Doctor Who supremo Steven Moffat reveals why we won't be able to take our
eyes off the Youngest Time Lord yet.



Because Matt Smith is the youngest actor to play the Doctor, people might be
thinking they'll get a "young geezer'" Doctor, but he isn't that. He's restored
the most professional aspect of the character - he's very much the "nutty
professor" Doctor.

The 32-year-old Star Trek star kept hydrated with a SIGG water bottle, which was manufactured in an ecologically-friendly environment and is 100% recyclable.

Just a few days ago, ZQ was seen hanging out with actress pal Sarah Paulson and her pet pooch.

These are a couple days old, but I didn't see them anywhere.

She looks so much younger and less mannish without all the clown paint.

Apologies to Kanye, but while Beyoncé had some great videos over the last 10 years, none of them were quite strong enough to make this list. And hold on just a minute, Taylor Swift—that goes for you, too. Mr. West, though—childish public outbursts aside—did land a couple videos on our list.

Two months ago, for a moment there, it seemed all of America was debating or lampooning the VMAs debacle. Soon after the chatter died down, though—after Paste let everybody finish—it wasn't long before we got busy scouring the Web, trying to compile an unequivocally amazing list of the best videos of the aughties.

In a decade defined more by fragmentation and the rise of the niche than anything else, there were no longer two or three definitive outlets for the music video like there had been in the past. For the first time, videos often went straight to the web and were available on countless sites with large and small audiences, and while this was happening, budgets for videos got a lot smaller, too. But after watching hours and hours of videos, we discovered that this didn't mean people stopped making incredible videos. Here's proof...

TMZ Falls For JFK Photo Hoax
Photo that "could have changed history" actually from a Playboy shoot



DECEMBER 28--In a colossal screw-up, the gossip web site TMZ.com today published a photo purporting to show John F. Kennedy frolicking on a yacht with a harem of naked women--except that the image actually appeared as part of a November 1967 Playboy photo spread, The Smoking Gun has learned. The TMZ hoax was billed as an "exclusive" featuring a photo that "could have altered world events" had it surfaced prior to his presidential campaign. "It could have torpedoed his run, and changed world history," the site added.

In reality, the photo appeared in story about Playboy's "Charter Yacht Party: How to Have a Ball on the Briny with an Able-Bodied Complement of Ship's Belles." As seen in the below page from the November 1967 issue, the Playboy photo is in color. The "Exclusive" TMZ image is the same photo, just reproduced in black and white. According to the web site, the photo was "eventually given to a man who owned a car dealership on the East coast. The man kept it in a drawer for years, and would brag to friends he had an image of JFK on a boat with naked women. The man died 10 years ago and one of his sons inherited the photo."

The gossip site offered no further details about the photo's provenance or what they paid for the photo. The site noted that "we believe the photo was taken in the mid-1950s," likely while Kennedy was on a two-week "Mediterranean boating trip" with his brother Ted and Senator George Smathers. TMZ claimed to have consulted with "multiple experts," including a forensic photo expert and two unnamed JFK biographers, as it sought to confirm that the late president was photographed surrounded by a quartet of naked women. According to the caption accompanying the Playboy photo spread, four couples were enjoying themselves on a trip to Petit Rameau, an island in the Grenadines. As "Andy" sunned himself on deck, "Elaine" dove naked into the water while "Roxanna" provocatively shimmied up a ladder.
