Zac Efron drops more than $2,000 on Lap Dances & Booze @ NYC Strip Club

Squeaky-clean heartthrob Zac Efron and two of his pals spent more than $2,000 on lap dancers and vodka at a top New York strip club.

The Disney-produced "High School Musical" prodigy showed up at Flashdancers Gentlemen's Club on Broadway on Sunday night and stayed until 3 a.m., just hours before the New York premiere of his new family-friendly flick, "Charlie St. Cloud."

Efron, 22, with another male friend and his former "High School Musical" castmate Corbin Bleu, 21, took a shine to three pretty brunette dancers, showering them with cash and requests for personal dances, spies said.

A spy told us, "Zac came in Sunday night around midnight with Corbin and one other male friend, who paid for everything. They were seated in the VIP lounge behind the main stage. There was only a rail between them and the girls who were dancing.

"They ordered one bottle of Belvedere vodka and were enthralled with the dancers. They were interacting a lot with the girls and reaching out and showering money on them. There were three girls who Zac and his friends particularly liked and they asked to do personal dances at their table."

Our witness continued, "The girls were all slim pretty brunettes, a bit like Zac's girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens. They were two Americans, called Shannon and Brandi, and a gorgeous Brazilian called Raquel.

"Zac and the boys had a great time and left around 3 a.m. Monday morning."

That night, Efron walked the red carpet at the premiere of "Charlie St. Cloud." Hudgens was not at his side, although she attended the LA screening last week.

A rep for Flashdancers confirmed Efron and Bleu were there but declined to comment further. Efron's rep was on a plane and unavailable for comment. A rep for Bleu, currently starring in Broadway's "In the Heights," didn't get back to us.

Donald Trump to Bret Michaels: Fire one up & pass it around the boardroom, you're fried!


Bret Michaels is used to gaining headlines these days, but we can bet that the last one he would want to see is that police found drugs one of his tour buses. Michaels tour buses were pulled over on Wednesday night in DeKalb County, Indiana and the police found marijuana and unidentified controlled substances while searching the vehicles.

Move over Holly Berry - Donald Trump just hired himself a PR disaster in the wing.  Oh and you can forget about Trop-A-Rocka returning to the store shelves any time soon.  Bret Michaels is facing criminal charges for marijuana possession.  Michaels who is fresh from winning the Celebrity Apprentice after surviving a miracle set of injuries,  now has another hurdle to over come, a drug scandal.  Representatives from Dr. Pepper / Snapple Group declined to comment on Michaels brush with the law.  They did however suggest the drink was already in plans to be taken off store shelves, the timing of the incidents were pure coincidental and pre-planned.  Representatives with the company say that the beverage was a limited time only flavor and cannot guarantee it will be returning to store shelves, despite heavy sales.   Fans have already been complaining the drink was hard to find when it was out on shelves.   Another possible business deal for Michaels to lose, his chance at replacing American Idol judge Simon Cowell.  With FOX not wanting to put themselves in any risk with controversy, sources suggest producers are working on distancing themselves from the story.  American Idol is known as a family friendly program and with that-- comes family advertising dollars.   This is not a risk the staff is willing to take.

 "According to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department, around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, deputies pulled over two tour buses near the 137 mile marker on Interstate 69 near the Ashley exit.

"After getting license and registration information from the drivers, trained Narcotics Detection K9s found marijuana on both of the buses, as well as a quantity of Schedule II controlled substances on the first bus. Deputies then learned Bret Michaels was onboard the second bus during the traffic stop. Charges will be forwarded to the DeKalb County Prosecutor's Office for review." Rumor has it that Child Protective Services may require Michaels to seek drug counseling before being allowed back around his daughters.

The Toronto Sun reports that Michaels' publicist says, "No arrests were made. Mr. Michaels allowed an open search of the buses and everything was handled in a professional manner. -

NEW INFO: Andy Dick Sexual Abuse Case Headed to Grand Jury


HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Comedian Andy Dick returned Tuesday to Huntington for a preliminary hearing on two sexual abuse charges.


Dick is accused of first-degree sexual abuse in two separate cases at a Huntington bar last January.

Assistant Cabell County Prosecutor Sean Hammers and Dick's attorney Mark Geragos questioned the first accuser who remains unidentified. He was working at he bar where the alleged incidents occurred.

"He (Dick) walked through the door, walked by me tried to walk into the club," the accuser testified. "I grabbed him and said, 'I need to see your ID.' He didn't have his license. He said it was stolen on the airplane."

Dick was performing at the Funnybone comedy club that weekend.

The accuser said after he put a wrist band on Andy Dick, the accused put his hand on his genitals.

"Turned around, there he is tilting his head smiling at me," the accuser testified. "I jumped back, shocked he actually did it."

During the cross examination, Geragos asked, "Did you kick Mr. Dick out of the club?"

"No," the accuser responded.

Geragos continued, "Did you ask him to leave? Did you do anything at all to make a report in the first 30 minutes after this happened?"

"I was in shock," said. "I couldn't believe he did it."

Hammers questioned the second alleged victim who accused Dick of kissing his neck and touching his genitals. He said he was trying to get a picture of Dick with his girlfriend in the noisy nightclub.

"As he was hollering, talking, he kissed my neck," the second accuser said. "As I turned around, it was shocking. I was trying to walk away, I felt a hand go in my pants."

On cross examination, Geragos identified discrepancies on one report regarding the date of the alleged incidents and whether the alleged victim could verify what was written on the report.

After all testimony, Magistrate John McCallister found probable cause to send the case to the grand jury. If both sides are ready, that hearing could be in August when the next grand jury convenes.

Obama lashes out at BP chief, using profanity towards Tony Hayward



WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said he would fire BP CEO Tony Hayward for flippant comments and lashed out at media "talking heads," ratcheting up his rhetoric on the 50th day of the US oil disaster.

United States president Barack Obama has hit out at BP's chief executive as oil continues to leak from a ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico.

BP's CEO Tony Hayward has been criticised for once predicting the oil spill would be modest and for lamenting that he wanted his life back as the clean-up drags on.

President Obama says he would have sacked the BP boss for those sorts of statements, but he has also revealed he has never personally spoken to Mr Hayward.

As Obama Tuesday sought to contain further political damage over the greatest environmental calamity in US history, his top disaster aide reported more progress capturing oil spewing from a ruptured undersea well.

Hayward, whose sardonic English tones and comments, including a prediction that the Gulf spill would be "very, very modest," have irked some Americans, found himself directly in Obama's cross-hairs.

"He wouldn't be working for me after making any of those statements," Obama said on the NBC "Today Show," after being criticized for what pundits said was a too tepid reaction to the disaster.

Hayward has since apologized for his remarks.

Obama revealed he had not spoken to Hayward, since an explosion on the BP-operated Deepwater Horizon rig on April 20, saying there would be little point.

"When you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he's going to say all the right things to me. I'm not interested in words. I'm interested in actions."

National incident coordinator Admiral Thad Allen however says he frequently speaks to the BP chief, seeking information, or ordering specific steps in the disaster mitigation effort.

Hayward can expect another tough ride next week: a key House of Representatives panel Tuesday said he would testify on the disaster on June 17.

Obama, who made the latest of his three trips to the disaster zone last week, insisted he had no time for playing politics -- though his comments seem to be taking on an increasingly political cast.

He told NBC he was looking for some "ass to kick" as recriminations mount and oil reaps a dreadful toll on seabirds, Louisiana wetlands, teeming fishing grounds and idyllic beaches.

He rejected claims he had been too cool, or slow in his response.

"I'm going to push back hard on this because I think that this is an idea that got into folks' heads and the media is running with it.

"I was down there a month ago, before most of these talking heads were even paying attention to the Gulf," he said.

The undersea effort to capture spewing oil is accelerating.

Allen said BP engineers had captured 14,842 barrels of oil over the last 24 hours from a containment cap placed over the well that blew on April 20, a significant increase from Monday's tally.

It remains unclear how much oil is spewing out of the busted wellhead, and officials have warned they will not be able to syphon off all of the excess crude until relief wells are dug -- likely not until August.

"We've gone from about 6,000 barrels up to almost 15,000," Allen said.

Upper government estimates of the volume of escaping oil hit 25,000 barrels per day -- but some private studies have hit a higher figure.

Underwater video footage of the wellhead, and the containment cap installed by BP last week, still appeared to show substantial oil escaping into the sea.

There was also sobering news on the scope of the environmental damage, as scientists said that they had found evidence of an undersea oil plume at a size of 3,300 feet more than 40 miles from the disaster site.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said it had "fingerprinted" the oil to confirm it came from the BP well, though said the residue was currently at "low concentrations."

BP had previously said oil plumes, which could pose deep threats to marine life, had not been discovered.

Commentators have drawn parallels between Obama's handling of the slick, and his predecessor George W. Bush's botched management of Hurricane Katrina that devastated the same coastline in 2005.

Political warning signs over the disaster are proliferating.

A recent CBS News poll showed only thirty-eight percent of Americans approve of the way the administration is dealing with the spill.

A Washington Post/ABC survey revealed more Americans disapprove of Obama's response to the oil spill than disapprove of Bush's Katrina performance.

But the CBS poll also showed that 68 percent disapprove of BP's response, giving an insight in the administration's motivation for attacking the energy giant, given that political blame always seeks a resting place.

'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.

jesco666.jpg image by jasunami

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

jesco.jpg Jesco White image by DianaGKY
danceoutlaw.jpg Jesco White The Dancing Outlaw image by dfwmullethunter

"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!

johnny-knoxville.jpg Johnny Knoxville image by YESi_92_album



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.

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.

So how does Ronald Fenty feel about this surprise reunion?

       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.
