A lot of the people that are making the show aren’t stars but C/D list celebrities. The definition of a celebrity is, someone who gets media attention and shows an extroverted personality. There is a wide range of ways by which people may become celebrities: from their profession, appearances in the mass media, or even by complete accident or infamy.

A star is a person that excels in his or her profession beyond their peers , which sets them apart and place them in star status. Now that we have differentiated the two, tell me how The Situation (from Jersey Shore) and Bristol Palin (Sarah Palin’s daughter) are considered to be stars. No hateration involved (The Situation is one of my favorite persons on TV today), I do consider them to be celebrities because they are well know with in our society but stars helllllllllllllllllllll no! Lebron James is a star, Brad Pitt is a star, Tiger Woods is a star but Bristol Palin and The Situation are not stars, come on be serious.

So I’m  going to go check out Mesrine: Killer Instinct this weekend. This flick looks pretty good, check out the trailer above.

Story Line: The first of two parts – charts the outlaw odyssey of Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), the legendary French gangster of the 1960s and 1970s who came to be known as French Public Enemy No. 1 and The Man of a Thousand Faces. Infamous for his bravado and outrageously daring prison escapes, Mesrine carried out numerous robberies, kidnappings and murders in a criminal career that spanned continents until he was shot dead in 1979 by France’s notorious anti-gang unit. Thirty years after his death, his infamy lives on. Mesrine was helped along the way by beautiful and equally reckless Jeanne Schneider (Cécile de France), a Bonnie to match his Clyde. Mesrine made up his own epic, between romanticism and cruelty, flamboyance and tragedy. Both a thriller and a biopic, KILLER INSTINCT explores the man behind the icon.

A crowd quickly gathered when Hilton and Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Waits were stopped about 11:30 p.m. Friday in the vehicle near the Wynn Las Vegas resort on Las Vegas Boulevard, police said. The 29-year-old celebrity socialite asked to go into the hotel for privacy because of the number people gathering, said Officer Marcus Martin.

Police later found a substance in Hilton’s purse that tests showed to be cocaine, Martin said. He said it was “a small amount” of the drug, a package of the size usually associated with personal use.

Hilton was arrested on suspicion of felony cocaine possession. Waits, 34, was arrested on misdemeanor suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Both were booked into the Clark County jail, where Martin said Hilton was released without bail about 2:45 a.m. Saturday. Sgt. John Sheahan said Hilton received no special treatment during her brief time at the jail, and that release without bail was common in such cases.

Less than an hour later, Hilton’s Twitter account was updated with a posting that said the actress was in bed watching the television show “Family Guy,” and then that she was going to sleep. It was unclear if the tweets came from her, were posted by time-release or were sent by someone else.

If convicted of the low-grade felony, Hilton would get probation. Any violation of probation would be punishable by one to four years in Nevada state prison.

Rivele and Chris Wilkinson, who both were involved in the screenplay for 2001 sports biography ‘Ali’.

According to New York Magazine’s Vulture blog, the movie – which does not yet have an actor to portray Tupac attached – could begin shooting in mid-November ahead of an expected 2011 release.

Talking about the project, Rivele admitted he knew little about the rapper – who was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996 – until he began to research.

He said: “I knew nothing about Shakur. But it became clear he was essentially a 19th century Romantic poet who found himself in the 21st century.

“He was obviously very angry, and had been subjected to a great deal of violence in the home, in the streets and in prison. But he was just beginning to shed that anger and look for a purer voice.”

Wilkinson confirmed the script would focus on the last day of his life, with flashbacks to his final four years.

Before her short stint in the bink and rehab many had wrote her off as a thing of the past. Now home and thinking clearly Lohan is surrounding herself with a comeback team in which she hopes can take her career back to the road where it was once headed. According to sources Lohan has taken on Britney Spears comeback team, check it out:

Linsay Lohan is ready to undergo a Britney Spears-style life transformation to get her career back on track.

The troubled starlet has handed the reins of her messy finances to Lou Taylor, the savvy, no-nonsense Nashville businesswoman who guided Spears back from the brink. Spears’ manager, Larry Rudolph, is also believed to be interested in getting involved in Lohan’s music career.

Lohan is currently lying low at home in LA, where just two days out of rehab, she’s already turning down offers of up to $150,000 to host parties at clubs and casinos.

One source told us, “It doesn’t seem right — Lindsay just got out of rehab and prison, and certain casino owners are offering a ton of money for her to host a party and be around alcohol when she has specifically been told not to.”

Another source said, “Lindsay knows she has to stay home and behave, she knows one wrong move could land her back in jail. She has support from her mom, Dina, and Lou Taylor, who is a strong influence and a deeply religious and principled woman.

“Lou has been working on fashion deals for Lindsay including the Marc Ecko ads and a deal with a Russian fashion company,” the insider said. “Larry Rudolph was like a father figure to Britney, and Lou is referring some business to him.”
