Rah Rah! Michael Jackson's Daughter Paris is Now a Cheerleader (Photo)
 |
| Paris Jackson, cheers for Buckley's boys basketball team — Twitter |
"One minute she's a football player ... the next, Paris Jackson is pom-pomming her face off on her prep school's cheerleading squad ... another sign MJ's daughter is as free a spirit as he was.
Paris -- sporting a short new 'do -- hit the hardwood and rooted on the Buckley School basketball team in L.A. yesterday ... while hamming it up for the cameras.
It's just the latest predictably unpredictable move for the 14-year-old ... who was just playing for the school's flag football team in 2011 -- she's kinda like "Icebox" from "Little Giants" ... only WAYY more bad ass"

New! Iron Man 3 Trailer (Robert Downey Jr.)
(Via Trailer Addict)
"Marvel's Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man? "
British Reporter Wows OZ's Mila Kunis By Being Himself
Recently, I have been working on a new podcast (first episode will drop soon) and one of things that stays with me is that I love interviews that are more conversations than talking points.
Where the interviewer and the interviewee are actually themselves flowing from one topic to the next with their guards down.The interviewer is not trying to sound hip or constantly look at their cards for questions, but in fact the interview simply comes across as two people sitting at coffee shop having a talk and we are the people next to them eavesdropping on a great conversation.
While promoting her new movie Oz The Great and Powerful, British reporter Chris Stark unwittingly created this kind of interview, Chris Stark by admitting his nervousness of meeting Kunis.
Now this could've gone completely wrong where Kunis could have made Stark suffer throughout the interview by toying with Stark or he could have made things worse by constantly saying how beautiful she was; Athough Chris Stark did fawn over the former star of "That 70's Show" his honesty, frank talk and fun-filled bumbling, actually charmed Kunis throughout their conversation.
Hugh Grant would be so proud.
This Peanuts Harlem Shake is Golden!
The past few weeks,my interest of the "Harlem Shake" has quickly evaporared and when Melissa Harris Perry drove a stake through the heart of the over-hyped "dance" with her MSNBC Footnote on the real "Harlem Shake," it was a fitting end to the mostly nonrhythmic phenomenon.
However, when my pop culture in crime Leah Haslage posted the Peanuts version of the "Harlem Shake" on Facebook, my heart grew two times bigger like the Grinch.
Watching the Snoopy dancing happily alone in front of a frowning Lucy and Schroeder then bouncing into to the dancing scene from "A Charlie Brown Christmas", officially puts a cherry on top of a dance that was once hot but cooled very quickly.

Dennis Rodman Talks North Korea's Kim-Jung-Un on with George S'This Week' tephanopoulos
Its interesting that George Stephanopoulos was annoyed with Dennis Rodman's take on Kim Jung Un.
Now I might be a small-time blogger from Ohio, but maybe Rodman's friendship with UN, might actually help with negotiations.
The last thing you want Kim Jung Un say now is, "wow I befriended this guy Rodman and now he's ripping me in front of some little guy named George".
We all now, that Kim Jung Un is a unpredictable and very dangerous world figure and even Rodman told Stephanopoulos, "I don’t condone that. I hate the fact that he’s doing that", when the ABC host pressed him on human rights issues against the dictator.
But in defense of Dennios Rodman, he wasn't in North Korea on a diplomatic mission, he was there on a tour with the Harlem Globetrotters!
I think the real problem is that people like George don't understand how Rodman got so close to Kim Jung Un in the first place.
But why not?
Just because guy wears a suit and talk lawyers speak, it doesn't mean that person has the skills to talk an agitated dictator In fact, too many commentators and politicos who are Monday Night Football tough, where they think they are more effective as the guy on playing TV, when in actuality, they lack any true skills and they should stick to playing Madden.
Dennis Rodman was probably effective with Un because he didn't have an agenda, he likes to party as well as the fact he played with Michael Jordan in the NBA. Evidently, Un found all of these things attractive, which allowed him to open up "The Worm," (I'm not thinking George Stephanopoulos doesn't fit any of those criteria)
In any negotiations, you want that person feel safe to diffuse a situation
If Dennis Rodman makes Kim Jung Un feel safe, so be it.
If DennisRodman's message to President Obama from Kim Jung Un is to call him and talk basketball, fine.
If this leads North Korea stop testing nuclear weapons, isn't that great?
Who are we to judge Rodman?
I hear the snickers from TV and radio announcers, but what makes them geniuses on world issues?
I actually heard a guy calling a baseball game in Cleveland (err..Tom Hamilton), making jokes about Rodman (He made another joke comparing Kim Jung Un, to Gangnam Style's Psy,..yeah that's real clever man).
But if Kim Jung Un liked the Cleveland Indians and he wanted to talk to that announcer, would that be crazy?
No, that announcer would probably say something like " I felt it was my patriotic to duty to help America by talking to Un." (I hate hacks like this, who think they are superior).
So if Rodman's connection with the North Korean dictator keeps him calm enough so he doesn't do anything crazy towards America that's fine with me.
As for George Stephanopoulos, if he is so annoyed by Dennis Rodman's visit, why doesn't he come up with solutions for human rights issues or do something to help ease the tension between North Korea and the United States...but I guess he's too busy cashing those big checks from hosting "This Week" and "Good Morning America" to worry about something like that.
Keep helping us to stay safe Dennis! Just don't listen these critics and tick that guy off!!
Kevin Hart's Top Moments on "SNL"
Bruno Mars still tops this season as best host (the ball is your court next week Justin Timberlake), but much like Seth McFarlane , Kevin Hart showed that he was more than a hyper little guy who screams a lot.
Hart probably won't get to host the Oscars like the "Family Guy" leader (who just quit Oscar duty) , but the "Little Man" will probably get more diverse opportunities than he did before the show started.
Below are the top highlights of Kevin Hart's Saturday Night Live appearance, (even though the best moments for me outside of Cecily Strong going ham on Barnes & Noble sketch, was clearly the Daft Punk commercial)

Daft Punk Teases New Music During 'SNL'
The best 30 seconds of Saturday Night Live with Kevin Hart as host might have been the two 15 second commercials for Daft Punk.
There I was sitting on my couch, when the sound reminiscent of the Disco band Chic radiated through my rabbit ear TV speakers, (word is Chic's Nile Rodgers worked on their album)
Although my trusted Shazam app called the song "15 Seconds", there were nothing about an album or dates, just a funky rhythm, two split helmets and the words Daft Punk bringing a smile to my face as I rewound
those commercials about 20 times last night!
What's your favorite Daft Punk song?
