I will stand tall as I stand on this list, of hasty pudding honorees – you get the gist. Let us proceed with this day full of cheer – thank you for making me your Hasty Pudding this year.”
Miramax is No More
Miramax, the former indie movie studio that churned out big time commercial hits such as “Pulp Fiction,” “Good Will Hunting” and “Chicago,” was shut down yesterday by Disney. The former Hollywood powerhouse, founded 30 years ago by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, lost some of its artsy appeal after selling out to Disney in 1993. In fact, it appeared that instead of growing the business, Mickey & Company scaled back production. The studio has been on life support since the fall when president Daniel Battsek resigned.
Chris Jericho Arrested
Staggering, isn’t it? But famous WWE wrestler Chris Jericho and cripplingly anonymous WWE wrestler Gregory ‘Hurricane’ Helms are only too happy to prove that point for you. That’s why they’ve both been arrested in Kentucky for drunkenly fighting each other in the back of a taxi.
Real fighting, too – apparently Chris Jericho and Gregory ‘Hurricane’ Helms didn’t even strip down to their pants, shriek scripted insults at each other or trade poncey little pre-rehearsed slaps that they both reacted to in an unnecessarily exaggerated way. So, goodness, they must have been drunk.
To be a professional wrestler, it does without saying that you need three things – 1) a girl’s haircut, 2) a silly name and 3) a single-digit IQ. The latter explains a lot about wrestlers – whether it’s Hulk Hogan’s constant self-inflicted troubles or Chris Benoit doing something unspeakably awful to his family before killing himself.

Kevin Federline Blames Depression for Weight Gain
Kevin Federline, ex-husband to Brittany Spears opened up about gaining weight and overeating after the divorce, saying it was brought on by depression. Rumors had been floating that he intentionally put on the weight so he would get selected for VH1′s ‘Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp.’ He says this is not the case.
“They called me and they asked me if I wanted to do it and I had maybe 24 hours to decide because the show started taping the next day after that weekend,” he said. “It just couldn’t have come at a better time.”
“Once you get depressed, you don’t really feel like doing anything. You’re kind of discouraged about yourself and then the weight gain too, or that makes me more depressed,” he said. “I mean, it’s a combination of all of those things.”
Cameron Douglas Pleads GUILTY
The son of Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas admitted in a New York court to possessing heroin and dealing large amounts of methamphetamine and cocaine.
Cameron Douglas, 31, was arrested last July at a hotel in Manhattan. If convicted he faces a minimum 10-year prison sentence.
