Pop Culture Roundup – January 31, 2010

As I sit here watching the Grammys, I thought I should blog about a few pop culture happenings that occurred this week. Actor Rip Torn had a bad week as he was arrested for entering a closed bank in Connecticut with a loaded revolver. Police in Salisbury, Conn., where Torn lives, said the actor was highly intoxicated when they arrived, responding to the alarm he set off. The 78 year old, who has recently appeared on NBC’s “30 Rock,” was being held on a $100,000 bond. Some might say it was a worse week for author J.D. Salinger, as he … Continue reading →

The Latest on Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Aniston

Surprise, surprise, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Aniston are in the news again. Brad was roughed up Monday at the premiere of his latest film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – by guards! As the paparazzi tried to take pics of Brad, the security guard grabbed and pushed a puzzled Brad. While it looked bad for Brad, the security guard said that he removed Brad from what could have turned into a “potentially dangerous situation.” Brad seemed to shrug the whole thing off, issuing a statement that said while the security guard was “more aggressive than usual,” it … Continue reading →

As you might recall Ethiopia is the country where their 3-year-old daughter Zahara was born. Now children there will have a second chance at life thanks to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. Execs with the Global Health Committee … Continue reading →

While the major networks were watching Hurricane Gustav unleash its fury on Louisiana entertainment publications were keeping a close eye on celebrities watching what New Orleans mayor described as “the mother of all storms.” (Today Mayor Ray Nagin amended his description calling Gustav “the mother-in-law or the ugly sister of all storms.”) Which just goes to show that the media can spin practically any current events story into one that involves Hollywood’s biggest names. Yesterday I saw video of men working to board up Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s New Orleans home. The couple, which bought a home and lived … Continue reading →

Another Way Brangelina Can Profit from their Kids
