Mike Tyson, Author – For Real, He Claims

Former boxer Mike Tyson is shopping a book around town. An autobiography he wrote while in jail.

He’s apparently so worried about parts of the book leaking that he’s only given his rough draft to five publishers for consideration.

The notorious ear biter told one of the publishers that he would write every night while incarcerated.

“Me and my cellmate would read to each other at night,” said Mike to the editor. “One night I would read out loud to him, the next night he would read out loud to me. And we would do that back and forth until the book was completed.”

Are U looking forward to the book?

We want to know what was going through his head during the Hollyfield ear attack!

Maniston’s Trying to Sniff Out a Beauty Deal

The buzz in beautyland is that Jennifer Aniston is hankering for a beauty endorsement deal.

When asked, a rep for her management team wouldn’t confirm or deny the buzz, so we’re inclined to believe she’s really on the look out for something.

What brand do you think would be a perfect fit for the new 40-year old?

How about Mane & Tail shampoo?

Brown’s Family Continues To Speak Out, Chris Remains Mum

Everyday we’re hearing new reports and speculations about what really happened between Chris Brown and Rihanna last weekend.

And now, Brown’s cousin is coming to his defense.

And you’re gonna love the excuse!

Brown’s cousin, Phylicia Thompson, spoke with Extra and told them “Chris was not brought up…to beat on a woman. So it had to be something to provoke him for Chris to do it. He wouldn’t have done is just to be having fun….But what happens behind closed doors, nobody ever knows.”

WTF?!?

Does stupidity run in his family? And even if he was freaking “provoked” there is NO excuse for him to have BEAT HER UP!

And the cousin continues, “He might feel down right now because his fans are looking down on him, like he’s done something wrong. Of course, yes, he’s done something wrong because he put his hands on her, but like I said, you don’t know what happened. He had to be provoked to do it. Chris would never have done it.”

How can you even try to excuse that? Provoked??? Puh-lease!

Thompson adds about their childhood that “Everybody loved Chris….This comes as a surprise to me…He was never a troubled child.”

She adds about growing up with Brown that “It was fun. Me and Chris were close in age. He practically lived with us….It was pretty cool growing up with Chris…We had so much fun. He was just an active child…He liked to dance. He liked to sing. He liked to play sports.”

L-A-M-E!!!

Smells Like Teen Spirit Video Director Signs On To Helm Elm Street Reimagining

The Nightmare on Elm Street reboot has finally found itself a director!

The Michael Bay-owned Platinum Dunes production company, the peeps behind the remake, has put their faith in music video director Samuel Bayer. Bayer is responsible for such iconic vids as Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit and Blind Melon’s No Rain.

Producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form had said in an interview that they sought a director who could visually blend the conscious and the subconscious. Sounds like Bayer’s resume fits the bill!

Another challenge to the filmmakers is filling the role of Freddy Krueger himself, since the original’s Robert Englund will not be returning.

Sounds like they’re on their way to making a worthy reboot!

Benji Madden, Losing The Pudge

And by the look of things, it seems Madden has been toning up!

Michael Stipe Is A Douche?

For shame, Stipey!

Michael Stipe is one of many celebs called out for bad behavior by former NYC waitress turned writer Sara Barron in her yet-to-be released memoir, People Are Unappealing.

She covers her ass by not directly naming anyone in the memoir, keeping the book highly coded through a series of nicknames.

But, as these things are prone to do, people’s true identity is leaking out!

Barron reveals that the R.E.M. frontman and his entourage strolled into the restaurant where she worked, Mario Batali’s Babbo, over a half an hour after the kitchen had closed, demanding service. Douchebag Stipe refused to speak to Barron, but had one of his 19 lackeys order for him. He never removed his sunglasses and the words “thank you” never left his mouth once.

That’s not the worst of Stipe’s shiteous dining etiquette by far!!

By 5 a.m., says Barron, Stipe and his pals had rung up a tab of more than $2,000. The meal was comped by celeb-obsessed Batali, although Barron of course still expected a tip: “Four [hundred dollars] would be ideal – four would be 20 percent – but since they weren’t being presented with a check and didn’t seem mathematically inclined, figuring on two was best,” she writes.

When the group extinguished its cigarettes and filed out, Barron discovered that they’d left zero: “[He] had kept our staff of seven on our feet for five extra hours . . . and he did so without tipping.”

Are you kidding???

We would have flipped our shiz if we were Ms. Barron!!

You shoulda known, Stipey, treating waitstaff poorly will alway come back to bite in one way or another!!!
