Butler Sick After Madonna Shot

26 July 2008 7:10 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actor Gerard Butler was given a vitamin shot by Madonna on the set of her husband's movie Rocknrolla - but it left him severely ill.

The Scottish star fell ill while filming for Guy Ritchie's upcoming gangster film, so the singer offered him a concentrated vitamin jab.

But despite Madonna's good intentions, the injection failed to boost Butler's immune system - and left him feeling worse than before.

He says, "Yeah, I got a shot from his (Ritchie's) wife Madonna! I was sick, and she was a nurse basically.

"Guy introduced me to her and she said, 'You're the sick one?' and I said, 'Yes'. Well, she was amazing. She just said, 'Drop your pants'. I stood there with my little bottom out, and she gave me a shot in the bum!

"It didn't work at all - I got more sick!. But I appreciated the effort."

It's not the first time the star has injected vitamins into the derriere of a famous pal - she gave Justin Timberlake a similar shot when he fell ill while producing her latest hit LP Hard Candy.

Amy Winehouse's Wax Figure Debuts in London

23 July 2008 7:35 AM, PDT | From PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news

Amy Winehouse's wacky – and waxy – likeness has now been officially immortalized, along with her tattoos. The singer's parents, Mitch and Janis, unveiled their daughter's wax figure at Madame Tussauds London on Wednesday, with her father calling its likeness "perfection." "This is the reward for her musical achievements and her talent," he told reporters. The waxwork's outfit replicates the one Winehouse wore to 2007's Brit Awards – a bright yellow mini-dress with towering black heels. Microphone in hand, the figure stands in the museum's "Music Zone" among such other chart-toppers as Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Kylie Minogue. Although the real-life Winehouse,

Court Sets Aside Wardrobe Malfunction Fine

22 July 2008 10:34 AM, PDT | From Studio Briefing | See recent Studio Briefing news

The FCC's crackdown on television indecency suffered a severe setback Monday as a federal court overturned the agency's $550,000 fine against CBS-owned stations for airing the Janet Jackson breast-baring incident with Justin Timberlake during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. In a unanimous decision, the three-judge appellate court ruled that the FCC had acted "arbitrarily and capriciously" by imposing new standards for indecency "without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure." CBS issued a statement calling the decision "an important win for the entire broadcasting industry," noting that circumstances occur, "particularly during live programing, when it may not be possible to block unfortunate fleeting material." FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said that he was "surprised" and "disappointed" by the decision. The Parents Television Council, the group that deluged the FCC with protesting letters following the Jackson incident, called the ruling "judicial stupidity," and added, "If a striptease during the Super Bowl in front of 90 million people, including millions of children, doesn't fit the parameters of broadcast indecency, then what does?" CBS had maintained that it had no advance knowledge that the "striptease" would occur. And, in its decision the appeals court said that "the FCC cannot impose liability on CBS for the acts of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake," who were not employees of the network but "independent contractors hired for the limited purposes of the halftime show."

Mark Ronson confused by sex symbol label

22 July 2008 8:48 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

Mark Ronson has admitted that he finds it strange when the press refer to him as a sex symbol. The music producer, who is currently dating underwear model Daisy Lowe, claimed that he does not attract enough attention from women to justify the label. "It's quite funny, that whole thing, I just find it a bit weird," Ronson told the Belfast Telegraph. "I mean, it's not as if I'm being chased by hoards of women when I walk down the street, say the way Justin Timberlake would be. And I don't have women throwing their underwear at me when I'm on stage." Ronson (more)

Jackson's Wardrobe Malfunction Fine Dropped

21 July 2008 12:03 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Federal officials have dismissed an indecency fine TV bosses at CBS were charged after Janet Jackson flashed a breast during the 2004 SuperBowl half-time show.

Just days after Jackson's fellow SuperBowl performer Justin Timberlake poked fun at the 'wardrobe malfunction' controversy while hosting the Espy Awards in Los Angeles, a three-judge panel has thrown out a $550,000 (GBP275,000) fine over the broadcast.

The judges of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals have ruled that the Federal Communications Commission "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in issuing the fine for the split-second image of nudity.

During the live show, Timberlake ripped open Jackson's bodice, revealing a breast. A red-faced Jackson quickly covered up.

More than 90 million people saw the live broadcast.

Timberlake Kicks Off Espy Awards With A Laugh

17 July 2008 12:08 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Justin Timberlake turned stand-up comedian on Wednesday night when he hosted the Espy Awards - mocking his celebrity friends and poking fun at his controversial duet with Janet Jackson at the 2004 Super Bowl.

The sports-loving star took to the stage in Los Angeles for U.S. TV network Espn's Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards ceremony.

Timberlake scored laughs with a comic performance in new movie The Love Guru - and tried out his act with a live audience at the event, picking on audience member Jessica Simpson and her American footballer boyfriend Tony Romo.

After giving them the nicknames RoJo and Tessica, Timberlake then recalled his infamous "wardrobe malfunction" with the breast-flashing Jackson four years ago.

He told the audience, "I wanted to be the only guy at a football game to get to second base."

Timberlake's on-stage antics can be seen when the awards show is aired in the U.S. on Sunday.

Justin Timberlake Does 'Great Job' at the ESPYs

Self-proclaimed sports junkie Justin Timberlake had his idols rolling in the aisles Wednesday night, as he hosted the 2008 Espy Awards. The singer earned raves as he alternated between self-deprecating humor (at one point, he poked fun at his infamous 2004 Super Bowl performance with Janet Jackson, saying "I wanted to be the only guy at a football game to get to second base") and playfully mocking audience members (he lowered his nose to one of David Beckham's Tom Ford shoes and proclaimed, "Smells like $250 million to me!"). He also performed a sports-themed rock opera. "If I made the decisions, I'd
