Criss Angel Starts Gay Bashing At Believe

This certainly won’t help his ticket sales, unless he’s looking to fill the seats with insensitive assholes!

We’ve just gotten word that earlier this month, there was an incident at Criss Angel’s Vegas gig that pissed off a lot of people. During one of his Cirque De Soleil performances, Angel performed a trick in which he asked an audience member to think of a word as he would read the person’s mind.

Whether the trick is conjured by the use of a paid actor or actual magical skill doesn’t really matter. Either way, the word “read” from the participant’s thoughts that evening sent some of the company into an angry rage.

The phrase, which was theatrically written out in huge lettering on banner for the entire audience to see, was “faggot.”

According to the source, the incident offended several of his dancers, who demanded that he apologize for his ignorance. True to form, he refused and as we understand it, the dancers went to the Cirque management and announced they were considering a walk out.

As for Cirque management, they claimed the audience member was British and meant cigarettes. How convenient- a scenario that doesn’t require Criss to apologize.

The company released this official statement in regards to the incident:

“On December 10, an inappropriate word was selected by an audience member as part of the premonition illusion in CRISS ANGEL Believe. It was made clear to the audience that the word is not one that is used or condoned by Criss Angel or any of the artists in the show, and the emphasis on the word was deflected during the illusion. Audience members are typically not pre-briefed as to the words they can use. Since the occurrence, a protocol has been put in place in case the situation should reoccur.”

Once again, Criss Angel proves himself to be an ignorant coward and it seems his new home at Cirque is just where he belongs, since they seem to be as ignorant as he.

Usher’s Album Leaks Early!

He actually has some new music coming out!

But sharing the fate of Lil’ Wayne’s Rebirth, Usher’s upcoming album Raymond vs. Raymond has been leaked and appearing on the Internets this past Sunday.

There’s also been many changes to the album’s release date originally scheduled for an early 2010 release which was changed to December 21st and is now back at TBD status.

The release date is also different on various websites with Best Buy, Tower, and Fye among others having a pre-order for the album’s release on February 16 while Walmart.com is for February 2 and Amazon is for March 1!

And it doesn’t even show up on iTunes at all!

Sounds like Usher’s camp needs to get their shiz together and set the date, but with all the commotion and changes is the album going to be any good?

Will U be buying Raymond vs. Raymond — whenever it comes out?

David Tennant On His ‘Doctor Who’ Mementoes… And When He’ll Be Back For A Cameo!

While much of the world is busy bidding farewell to 2009, “Doctor Who” fans will be saying a different type of goodbye on January 1 when series star David Tennant concludes his celebrated run on the long-running BBC science-fiction series. One of the most popular actors to ever play the iconic role, Tennant has been the face of “Doctor Who” since 2005 and led the series to its most successful run (both in the UK and abroad) in its 47-year history.

As MTV’s resident “Doctor Who” geek, I sat down with Tennant for a chat about the looming end to his run as the time- and space-traveling adventurer known as The Doctor. Along with discussing what he’ll miss most about the role, he also revealed the mementoes he’s taking with him from his time as The Doctor — and when he might return for a cameo appearance like so many past Doctors.

“I was presented with a sonic screwdriver in a beautiful box that the prop department made for me,” said Tennant of his going-away gift. “So I got to take that home and that will sit in a very proud place in my home.”

“And I do have The Doctor’s suit now, hanging up in my wardrobe — the brown and the blue,” he added. “I haven’t tried it on yet, but I’m sure there will come a day when I’ll be dancing around at midnight, frightening the neighbors.”

As for making a cameo, Tennant stressed that he’ll need to put some time between his departure and any cameo he might make.

“Who knows? There’s no immediate plans,” he said. “I’d probably have to move away and let the dust settle and let the new team get established and all that. But there is a bit of a tradition of The Doctor meeting his former selves.”

“It happened with me when Peter Davison, who I watched when I was growing up, suddenly came back and did a scene with us, which was a real thrill for me,” he laughed. “[It was] very disorienting, to be faced with this guy who you watched as a kid in the gear — and there he was, in my TARDIS now. It was very odd.”

“It’s been a very odd experience really, playing this part all around,” he continued. “There’s been many very unusual moments, very disorienting moments, but it’s been a wonderful time. I wouldn’t have changed it for the world.”

Part Two of the “Doctor Who” season finale, “The End of Time,” airs January 1 on the BBC and BBC America.

Maniston Hates The Paparazzi

That’s why she was the driving force behind the new California state law that will allow celebs to file civil suits against photogs!

After spending much of her career followed by flashing bulbs, Jennifer Aniston decided to take a stand and became “instrumental” in having Assembly Bill 524 passed.

Aniston rounded up a group of her famous friends to speak with Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, and their unity against the problem inspired her to write the bill.

Specifically, the law allows “for civil penalties against members of the paparazzi and media outlets that sell and buy unlawfully obtained photographs and video footage of people, including celebrities and their families.” The law goes into effect tomorrow.

Lawyer up photogs! We know you won’t be giving up that easily!

The Primary Whore Denies Partying With Tiger

A first! One of his whores DENYING sleeping being seen with Tiger Woods. Wonder how much $$$ that cost team Tiger?

Rachel Uchitel went running to Billy Bush and Access Hollywood to set the record straight about her alleged weekend with her sugar golfing daddy.

She says the reports are completely untrue and that she spent the weekend with friends, Brooke Mueller style. She even had her lawyer, the good old Gloria Allred, draft up an official statement to the press, saying:

“Ms. Uchitel has had absolutely no contact with Tiger Woods for quite some time, and has not seen him or had any communication with him since she has been in Palm Beach.”

Well, now that your lawyer has said it, we totally believe you. We’ll just ignore the fact that of all the places in the world, including New York, where you live, you decided to go to Palm Springs last week, the place where Tiger is being held in his docked yacht.

No contact our ass!
