Update: MTV Producers Bond Jesco Out of Jail

UPDATE: Wednesday, April 29th 1 p.m.
LOGAN COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Producers from MTV posted bond Wednesday morning for Jesco White, the man best known as West Virginia's "Dancing Outlaw." Those are the same producers of the new documentary, "The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia," which features Jesco and members of his family.



White was released from Southwestern Regional Jail around 10 a.m.

'Dancing Outlaw' Jesco White Arrested on Drug Charges

Boone County Sheriff Rodney Miller tells WSAZ.com that charges were filed against White Monday afternoon. He said investigators interrupted a drug buy between a woman and White.



Miller says the woman was going to sell cocaine to White and when deputies intercepted her, she allegedly had the drug on her.

A recent documentary about White from MTV producers debuted last weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival. Members of White's family said the film casts them in a negative light, and they say they have changed their ways since then.

White has been charged with conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance.

Johnny Knoxville Bankrolling Bizare Mountain Dancer Documentary

Charleston Filmmaker Storm Taylor doesn't expect everyone to be glad that somebody else is doing a documentary about Jesco White and his family. The star of "The Dancing Outlaw" has an international cult following, both for his mountain dancing and for his often bizarre antics.

Taylor says he's heard many times, "You're going to make West Virginia look bad.

"He believes people who think in those terms shouldn't turn their heads. It's really part of the problem. "It's not 'Hillbillies Gone Wild,'" he said. "A lot of people want to think that's what we're doing. The Whites are what they are. There's no faking it."

For the past year, Taylor and his film crew have visited Boone County. They've filmed White, his family and the people surrounding them for a documentary titled "The Wild and Wonderful Whites." The documentary is bankrolled by Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze and Jeff!

Tremaine, the creators of the wildly popular MTV series "Jackass," which featured Knoxville and his friends performing dangerous, self-destructive and crude pranks and stunts.

Taylor says he understands rural people are sensitive to how they're portrayed in the media. He comes from Maryville, Tenn., a small town just outside of Knoxville, where he spends most of his time working in real estate to support his part-time interest in filmmaking.

"I met Johnny (Knoxville) at a pool hall in south Knoxville," Taylor said. "I came outside and there was a guy sitting in my car listening to my Johnny Cash cassette."The two hit it off. After Knoxville went to California and became a television and film star, Taylor worked on several productions with him and others connected with "Jackass."

He says he could work full-time in film and television if he wanted, but has little interest in making commercials. For a while, he filmed a regional travel show for Turner Broadcasting, which gave him the opportunity to explore one of his main interests.

"I love small-town culture," he said. "Any chance I get to see something small-town, a fair or folk art, I grab it."

The travel show had a limited run and was only available in 13 states, but it did give him the chance to meet White. Taylor says he was a fan, but they became friends.

"It all took on a bigger aspect than I thought," he said.



Seeing how White lived, Taylor got involved with the dancer. He and his crew stripped out old insulation and underpinned White's trailer. They built a front porch for him and worked on some of the electrical problems in the building. Taylor visited from time to time and hung out with White.

A chance meeting between Julien Nitzburg, one of the producers of the original "Dancing Outlaw" video, and Knoxville sparked a conversation about doing another documentary. Knoxville suggested Taylor would be the right man to do it.

"My key concern was that it be done correctly," Taylor said. "This is not a 'Dancing Outlaw Part 3,' but a reintroduction to Jesco and the entire family. They're fascinating people and I think many people are surprised they're amazingly likeable."

But he's not pulling his punches. Taylor's film crew spent a year following the family. Some of Taylor's footage includes filming people in jail or getting out of jail, people in rehab and even people getting kicked out of rehab.

"But we also talked to the sheriff," he said. "We talked to the attorneys. We interviewed some of the pastors from the community. We tried to keep it well-rounded and true."

Taylor says part of White's issues come from the intense poverty the family has endured over the years. A culture of entitlement has developed around them. A belief the family is owed money has caused rifts between people who could and would help them.

He says White is surrounded by more than enough "great friends," who don't care so much for the man, but would rather see the crazy character.

"They want to take him out drinking," he said. "They're the ones killing the guy."




Taylor isn't saying he hasn't been guilty of the same thing. Back when he first started coming to visit White at his trailer, he was one of those people who showed up on his doorstep with a jar of moonshine ready to party. Over the past year, as he's had the chance to see the value of those kinds of friends, he's changed his approach.

"These days, I call ahead and make sure he's got something to eat," Taylor said. "He doesn't eat right. He doesn't take care of himself."

Taylor says the film is almost finished. With another month of editing, "The Wild and Wonderful Whites" will be ready for film festivals.

"We have 500 hours of footage," he said. "This ought to be a six-part series instead of just an hour-and-a-half film."

Although he hopes "The Wild and Wonderful Whites" will be picked up for distribution at movie houses, he's realistic. Only a spare handful of documentaries get picked up for national distribution. A few end up as art house films. But he expects "The Wild and Wonderful Whites" will probably find its audience on DVD.

Dustin Diamond say's Celebrity Fit Club is FAKE & TELLS ALL

Screech say's his heel role on Celebrity Fit Club was fake and he was acting.

(( story continues below introduction below ))



Who could forget season 5 of Celebrity Fit Club?

Diamond was a cast member of the fifth season of Celebrity Fit Club, during which his personality, his refusal to alter his dieting habits, his reliance on diet pills, his tendency to quit in the middle of physical challenges, and his antagonism toward his castmates caused much conflict. He particularly came into conflict with former American Idol finalist Kimberley Locke, country singer Cledus T. Judd, rapper Da Brat, and trainer Sgt. Harvey Walden IV. At one point during the season, he apparently quit the show, but later returned. Despite his insistence that he had achieved a peaceful state of mind, he continued to sequester himself from enthused participation in group events, refused to offer encouragement to his teammates during weigh-ins, and responded to criticism from the show's judges by claiming that he was being unfairly targeted. Tensions between Diamond and the rest of the celebrities culminated in an open confrontation between himself and Harvey Walden resulting in a comment referencing "physical combat," which Walden interpreted to be a challenge.[3] Diamond started on the show weighing 217 pounds and ended with a 30 pound loss.[citation needed]

Diamond returned for the sixth season Boot Camp edition of the show, joining a team of "second chancers" that includes Toccara Jones, Tina Yothers, and Willie Aames; he gained 30 pounds back to his starting weight at 217 pounds. Diamond appeared to be trying to follow the show's program, in a marked contrast to his behavior during the previous season, and was named team captain. However, the judges remained skeptical regarding him. Sgt. Walden openly questioned the decision to name him captain (saying Yothers should have been his choice) and another judge said that she was "waiting for the other shoe to drop" regarding his behavior.[citation needed] When Diamond didn't show up for a day of work, claiming he was stranded at an airport by bad weather, Walden "fired" him as team captain and named Jones the new leader. While Diamond and Walden clashed again the following week when Walden called Diamond a "Nazi",[citation needed] Diamond ultimately stayed and held his own for the second chancers. Later in the season he and Tina Yothers were traded to the Newbie team. Diamond lost 23 pounds on the show, for an ending weight of 194 lbs.[citation needed] His team won the grand prize.



Dustin Diamond on a morning radio show today said the following about his appearance on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club.




The morning radio show "ON AIR with Sheila & JIM" whose call letters are WKEE
is a relatively small radio station housed in Huntington, WV.



"The only thing real about the show is the spelling of real in reality."

He goes on to say that "show producers were looking for someone to play the bad guy role.
Producers were first interested in having Warren G play the role but Warren G evidently did not want to.
They considered Da Brat but were not considering Diamond - not thinking he could play it off.
Diamond did however become the heel of the show and he claims it was all staged.
He was coaxed into his character role and encouraged to fight with other contestants."

About preparing for the show?

Dustin Diamond was not fat, at least according to him.  He had not been courting the show it was VH1 that wanted him.
They encouraged him to gain weight prior to coming on the show.
Diamond said that everyone on the show including himself was drinking weight gainer shakes and pigging out on soda's and other high caloric foods to get plump before the shows start.  This was to aid in rapid weight loss when the show began.

So it looks like VH1's Celeb Reality isn't reality at all - just a bunch of D list actors willing to do whatever it takes to get 15 minutes.
It all makes sense with reality dominating the tv front, sometimes you have to accept what is current and go with it.

Dustin Diamond became a common name around office water coolers shortly after the show began.
He was infamous for picking fights with other contestants and bucking the shows weight loss theme.

Diamond say's in real life, he'd never talk to people like he did on the show.  He claims he's not remotely that person.

What is Dustin doing now? 

He does stand up comedy 48 weeks out of the year - performing everywhere - including small towns like Huntington, WV.

& He makes infamous porn...

Sex tape

On November 13, 2006, Diamond's sex tape Screeched, aka Saved by the Smell, was released by Red Light District. It features a bride-to-be, Summer Price, her bridesmaid, and Diamond all engaging in various sexual acts. According to Diamond, the tape got out because he and some friends allegedly exchange such tapes and he believed that the tape was not leaked by any of those people, but that it may have been the significant other of one of them.[15] Diamond's manager acknowledged there was hope that the tape would raise his client's profile.[16]

Chris Brown and Rihanna Back Together Again

Those hoping Rihanna would completely sever ties from Chris Brown will have to wait a bit longer.

Less than three weeks after the alleged assault, the “Disturbia” singer and her (former?) beau have reunited. According to a source for People magazine, the two (along with one of Jay-Z’s bodyguards) are currently spending time together at one of Sean Combs’ homes on Miami Beach’s Star Island. (A relaxed Brown was recently snapped jet skiing in the area.)

“They’re together again. They care for each other,” the insider claimed. “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

Although Rihanna spent part of her birthday crafting a statement for the media, she also found time to take a call from Chris. “He called to wish her happy birthday,” a source told People. “They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.”

So how does Ronald Fenty feel about this surprise reunion? Despite previously wishing his daughter would “move on,” Ronald now claims he will stand by the 21-year-old’s decisions. “Whatever road she chooses, I’m behind her,” Fenty stated. “We are a family who stick together even though we are apart.”

       According to an unnamed source, the man Kim referred to last year as "Big Poppa" has left his regular residence and has moved in with Zolciak and her two daughters.       

       Zolciak, who claims she's 30, freely admitted that Big Poppa was still legally married when she was dating him throughout season 1, but explained to Essence.com in November "he has been going through a divorce for years."      

       The lone white housewife in the cast called off her engagement to her married man after the show wrapped last year, but the twosome has apparently since rekindled their romance.      

       If he appears on the show, "Big Poppa" will join another new castmate, rumored to be Zolciak's pal Cori Davenport, who sporadically appeared on season one. Davenport would replace housewife DeShawn Snow, who was dropped from the show in January.

Election night draws record viewership

WASHINGTON - Lots of news trickling in about Sarah Palin’s time on the campaign trail…

Like the time John McCain’s top aides Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to brief the fit 44-year-old Alaska governor in her hotel room at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.

Here’s how Newsweek described it:  “After a minute, Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. ‘I’ll be just a minute,’ she said.”

There were strains between the McCain and Palin camps on the trail. Now that the election is over, the long knives have come out.

The Los Angeles Times reported that when Palin arrived at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix on Tuesday, she had expected to speak before McCain gave his concession speech, but was told by Schmidt and Salter that it would not be appropriate.

The Alaska governor is keeping her options open about running in 2012, and when she arrived in her hometown of Wasilla on Wednesday night, she was greeted by chants of “2012.”

Keanu Reeves Trial Begins Jury Selection

Jury selection has begun in the trial of actor Keanu Reeves after a paparazzo accused him of negligence behind the wheel.

Keanu_Reeves.jpg keanu reeves image by didi_028

Photographer Alison Silva filed suit against Reeves claiming the
Speed actor knocked him to the ground in March 2007 with his black Porsche car.

Silva alleges the ordeal left him out of work for months, cost him $40,000 (GBP25,885) in medical bills to treat his injuries, and also claims he now needs $50,000 (GBP32,356) of bone graft surgery on his left wrist.

Reeves' lawyer, Alfred Gerisch, insists the photographer tripped over his own feet, telling the court the case is one of "overly aggressive paparazzi bent on getting a photograph of a celebrity at any cost, even if it puts the paparazzo's own safety at risk".

Both Reeves and Silva are expected to testify in the estimated five-day trial.

Ashley Olsen: 'I'm Socially Awkward'

Actress Ashley Olsen is convinced she has below average social skills.

The 22-year-old revealed her deepest fears in a questionnaire printed in her new coffee table book, penned with twin sister Mary-Kate.

And Olsen admits her crippling shyness often holds her back and makes her scared about interacting with others - listing the affliction as her "principal defect".

She explains: "I'm really not great with crowds or big groups or public speaking. I just get very anxious. It's just something about being in front of that many people. I guess I black out - I never really remember how an interview went."

But Olsen is pleased to be finally conquering her fears after seeking help.

She adds, "You work with it. It gets easier. I haven't done press in so long."

Disney takes $41 million from 'HSM3' to domination overseas

Christmas arrived early for Disney as teenagers the world over swarmed to "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," celebrating the first big-screen sequel of the acclaimed Disney Channel originals with a weekend take of $41 million from 3,163 screens in 19 countries.

010923968.png hsm3 image by zoiebeevip

It was the biggest October opening ever in the international market and the biggest-ever overseas bow for a musical (beating "Mamma Mia!'s" $26 million debut), according to Disney International. It also claimed an average market share of more than 40% in each of its markets.

In the U.K., where the telefilms and best-selling album established a massive fan base for the franchise, "HSM3" hit the top with $13.7 million from 494 screens. Germany pulled in $5.9 million from 547; Spain, $5.1 million from 547; France, $3.8 million; Brazil, $1.7 million from 212; Denmark, $1.2 from 93; and Norway, $1.1 million from 90.

Whether the teen appeal of "HSM3" can help it reach the heights obtained by the female-driven "Mamma Mia!" remains questionable. At the moment, "HSM3" has October half-term school holidays going for it in several European markets, and will open in new markets from now through the end of the year -- winding up Feb. 7 in Japan.

While "HSM3" dominated the international market, a number of recent newcomers also came in with satisfactory results. The Coen brothers' crime comedy "Burn After Reading" tied Fox action-thriller "Max Payne" at $9 million, with "Burn's" weekend total coming from 1,900 screens in 20 markets and "Payne's" from 2,355 in 44.

Last week's No. 1, Paramount's Shia LaBeouf starrer "Eagle Eye," fell to No. 4 with $6.4 million from 2,645 screens in 42 markets for a cume-to-date of $56.9 million.

Rounding out the weekend's top five was the latest in Lionsgate's popular horror franchise, "Saw V," which scared up $6.1 million from 940 prints in nine territories. The U.K., where it finished second to "HSM3," delivered $3.8 million from 367. It also claimed second in Australia, finishing behind "Burn" with $810,000 from 199.

"Burn," a split-rights international release to which Universal holds 16 territories, grossed $5.3 million in its six Uni markets, with the estimated weekend take of $9 million including 14 territories handled by local distributors.

The Russian film "Koltchak," distributed by Fox International, dropped out of the top five after a three-week hold, taking in $4.1 million from Russia and Ukraine and reaching a cume of $34 million.

Warner Bros.' release of the Woody Allen film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" dropped only 26% in its third weekend in France, grossing $2 million from 442 prints for a cume-to-date of $9.9 million.

"Ghost Town," starring British comedy star Ricky Gervais, opened at No. 4 in the U.K. to $2.1 million from 343 screens.

Disney's "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" held on to first place in Mexico for a fourth straight week, earning $544,000 from 397 screens for a market cume of $6.9 million.

More weekend action: "WALL-E," $4.6 million (cume: $256.4 million); "Mamma Mia!," $4.1 million (cume: $408.7 million); "Tropic Thunder," $4.1 million (cume: $65.4 million); "Nights in Rodanthe," $3.6 million (cume: $18 million); "Body of Lies," $2.1 million (cume: $8.9 million); "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," $2 million (cume: $79.1 million); and "The House Bunny," $2.1 million (cume: $16.9 million).

"Journey to the Center of the Earth," released by New Line International Releasing via territorial distributors starting in July, has chalked up a foreign gross of $95.3 million while playing on both 3-D and traditional 2-D screens. The 3-D bookings have brought in $36.4 million from 469 screens, while the 2-D dates have earned $58.9 million from 3,279. Markets yet to open include Germany/Austria, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea and Indonesia.
