“Having the best bday ever with family, friends,” Lindsay wrote on her Twitter page Thursday evening.

“But I miss my sister and baby brother Cody and my mommy and nana,” she tweeted. Source

She sounds like a 5-year-old talking.

haydenHayden Panettiere isn’t upset that a recent tattoo she got is spelled wrong.  She got ‘live without regret’ in Italian but what she got ‘Vivere Senza Pimipianti” is spelled wrong.

“It is misspelled, whatever, I just put my own spin to it. Chances are I’ll probably get it fixed, but that’s why I love having it on my back because I don’t get bored of it,” she laughs. Source

One of my tattoos is actually wrong, but I’ve had it for so long that I don’t even care any more.

jennAccording to In Touch, the reason why Jennifer Aniston can’t keep a man is because she’s too needy.

After a recent date with actor Bradley Cooper she told  a friend “she said they had a real connection. She was hoping they’d see each other again. She was on a real high.”

But apparently Braley was seeing another actress, Lake Bell, at the same time.

 “Bradley and Lake were whispering intimately,” the witness tells In Touch. “he had his hands all over her legs.”

When Jenn realized she wasn’t the only lady in his life she was hurt but not surprised. “She thought it was too good to be true,” the confidante adds.

She tried to sway him with a long weekend in Mexico but he turned her down.  Then she invited him to a BBQ at her house and “he said he would try to make it,” the confidante adds.

 “She can sometimes come off as needy and has no idea that she’s not coming off as fun and spontaneous. She ends up scaring guys off,” the friend says.

“She’s pinning all of her hopes on [Bradley] being ‘The One’.” the confidante explains. “He simply isn’t.” Source

It makes me sad when I see women like this.  It’s one thing to be an insecure teenager…most of us go through that.  But she’s 40 years old for Pete’s sake.  Get it together.

treyTrey Songz has a lot of new projects on the horizon.  He’s got a an album, Ready, dropping August 4th.  He’s also working on making the transition from singer to actor in an upcoming film.

Speaking about the album he says, “We got Stargate, Troy Taylor and Jermaine Dupri on production. Johnta Austin co-executive produced it. Bryan Michael Cox, Eric Hudson, Sean Garrett and I did a lot of writing on it as well. It’s actually funny because the vibe is actually changing on the album because I don’t stop working. We actually turned the album in and it’s not often that I ask my release date to be pushed back but I asked for my date to be pushed back so I could keep going ‘cause I’m in a creative space that’s nice. I’m making the best music I ever made and when I say that I’m dead ass serious.”

In regards to the film, he reveals: “I got a small role in a movie entitled “The Preacher’s Kid.” It’s Wendy Williams’ movie, I did a small role in that. LeToya Luckett’s in it, Tank is starring in it as well. LeToya Luckett’s actually “The Preacher’s Kid” and she runs astray and I’m a man out of her past that comes through briefly and we chat it up. She’s dealing with another man at the time and I’m married. We just see each other briefly and we chop it up real quick. In the Wendy Williams’ movie, I play a pivotal role as the first DJ to ever put her on air.”

Though he’s interested in acting, he says tht music is his highest priority. “What I’m doing with my acting, I’m making sure I take small steps. I don’t wanna jump off in something I can’t handle but a lot of people told me I’m a natural for it; a lot of people in great positions. The timing just hasn’t been right as far as recording and shooting. We turned down a lot of movies we had due to recording schedules or touring or promoting the album. I’m very interested in acting and one thing about music being my first love, I wanna make sure that I’m able to give acting that same time and dedication and respect that I give music. I don’t wanna just think that I’m gonna come in and people say that I’m a natural so I’mma just come in and be acting. I wanna take the craft seriously.”

Trey Songz is my guilty pleasure and though I don’t think I’ll see the film, I’m definitely looking forward to his new album.

game20th Century Fox is working on a big screen adaptation of “The A-Team” and have started working on casting.

Who’s gonna play Mr. T’s character, B.A. Baracus?  Well, rapper The Game is a front runner for the roll.  The studio is also looking at Ice Cube and UFC fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

As far as the rest of the cast Liam Neeson is in talks to play Hannibal Smith and Bradley Cooper told MTV News that he’ll be playing Templeton “Face” Peck. Source

I recall never understanding the A-Team but watching it faithfully because I was dazzled by Mr. T’s hardware.  I don’t know how I feel about The Game playing the part.  I hope they go with Ice Cube.-
