In an interview with London Evening Standard, Jon Bon Jovi lambasted Justin Bieber for being hours late for a concert at the O2 Arena in March. He said, "Every generation has guys that do that, none of that is new." He continued, "They run the risk of disrespecting their audience members who have worked hard to pay for their ticket, to give you the permission to take two or three hours of their lives - or in that kid's case, 80 minutes of their lives." Bon Jovi went on, "Do it once, you can be forgiven. Do it enough times and shame on you. They won't have you back. Then it just becomes a cliché. It's really not cool - you're an a-hole. Go to f-ing work!" Bon Jovi has been around for decades and has had great success along the way, so it would probably be a good idea for Justin to take his words to heart. The 19-year-old pop star was scheduled to go on stage at the O2 Arena in London at Read more

Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy, who is currently filming her new movie Tammy in Wilmington, North Carolina, had an interesting incident involving an extra this week. Melissa, who plays the title role, is also the co-writer and director, along with her husband and Bridesmaids love interest, Ben Falcone.

British model and actress Cara Delevigne, 20, turned down Leonardo DiCaprio’s romantic advances at the Cannes Film Festival this week, calling him “too forward and too old.” The pair met at an after party for Leo’s film The Great Gatsby but the 38-year-old actor’s good looks and baby blue eyes had no effect on Cara. A source told British newspaper The Sun, “Normally all Leo has to do is look at a girl and they fall at his feet… though Cara was having none of it.” The source said Leo spent the whole night chasing after her trying to steal a kiss, but she continued to blow him off. “They spoke and he was pretty forward, inviting her to a party back at his suite. He tried every trick in the book and apparently kept lunging for her but she kept dodging them,” the source said. Leo, who has dated numerous top models Read more

James posted several pictures before and after, including the one shown here, which had the caption: "Heading 2 Surgery." Afterwards, he posted graphic pictures of the severed bit, writing Read more
