I know this may not be a bombshell to most “Star Wars” fans, but James Earl Jones was not in the Darth Vader suit at the time of filming. For the eight people who didn’t know that, sorry to ruin the illusion.
Since Jones’s voice was dubbed in later, David Prowse, the English Actor and body builder (thanks wikipedia) inside the suit, could be heard saying the lines during the actual filming.
This is actual footage from the filming of the first movie. Not really the menacing voice of a Sith Lord, or a body builder for that matter. But he delivers the lines with such gusto. Such fervor.
I don’t know about you, but all I can think about is THIS.
In Hollywood, it is commonplace for shy stars to use a body double for a sex scene. But while Megan Fox happily went naked in her latest film Jennifer’s Body, it appears she isn’t quite so confident with her hands.
In her latest role, starring in a one-off Super Bowl advert for Motorola, it appears the actress has enlisted a hand double.
In the Motorola ad screened yesterday, a naked Megan Fox reclines in a bubblebath with some strategically placed suds protecting her modesty. But while her sexy pouting caught a lot of attention, other viewers were more concerned with the fact her ‘hands’ didn’t belong to her.
In the commercial, a totally different woman’s fingers are seen playing with the phone during the close-up.
The actress has a genetic condition called brachydactyly, which means she has clubbed thumbs. So rather than use her actual thumbs for the close-up on the new Blur smart phone, Motorola enlisted a hand model.
I wonder if she was concerned, or Motorola?

If you thought you’d had a few too many beers seeing Jay Leno, Oprah Winfrey, and David Letterman all sharing a sofa during a Super Bowl commercial, don’t worry. It really did happen!
The spot, a commercial for The Late Show, is the biggest TV ad shocker of the Super Bowl, surpassing Tim Tebow with ease.
Letterman and Leno snipe at each other with mock-annoyance, with Dave mimicking Leno’s high-pitched voice. Oprah tries to calm the boys.
Now this is damage control for Leno: Agreeing to appear in a CBS Late Show ad while he’s still finishing out his NBC 10 p.m. show is the coolest thing Jay has done in… ages.
If it also makes Dave the publicity victor — after all, it is a commercial for his show, not the Leno Tonight Show — you have to hand it to Jay for playing along, probably as a slap at the way NBC handled the whole Tonight Show mess.
Now you’ve seen it: What do you think?

It may well be over romantically between Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, but that doesn’t mean that emotions and tempers aren’t still running high.
They are — so high in fact that the twosome got into a bitter, heated fight Wednesday night, which culminated in Lohan throwing a glass full of vodka in Ronson’s face!
“Sam was working her usual weekly gig DJing at Crown bar,” an eyewitness to the altercation tells RadarOnline.com. “Lindsay turned up around 11 pm and she was in the mood for trouble!
“Lindsay was drinking straight out of a bottle of vodka and I saw her take an orange prescription bottle out of her bag and pop a couple of pills that she said were Adderal, she even offered some of the pills to a friend that was with her.
“Lindsay was trying to get Sam’s attention, but she was working and studiously ignored Lindsay. You could see Lindsay getting more and more worked up the more Sam didn’t pay her any attention. At one point Lindsay was dirty dancing with this really pretty girl right in front of Sam, obviously to try and make her jealous.
“Sam just got sick of it all in the end though and started taunting Lindsay about her being all drunk and messed up. She said to Lindsay, “Why don’t you just have another drink?” and even told her, “You’re a disgrace”.
“That made Lindsay just totally flip out on Sam. She picked up a drink and threw it straight in her face! Sam was absolutely furious and picked up some DJ equipment that was by her and threw that at Lindsay. It was crazy!

You know how Jay Leno has that “Earn Your Plug” segment on ‘The Jay Leno Show’ (weeknights, 10PM ET on NBC)? Jessica Biel definitely earned her plug on last night’s show.
[video will begin after a short and annoying commercial]
Oh, the chocolate-covered strawberries were a treat, and even the chocolate-covered pizza wasn’t so bad. But when she fearlessly ate the chocolate-covered cricket that Jay brought out, he was downright impressed! I, on the other hand, was utterly disgusted!
Catch Biel in the star-studded ‘Valentine’s Day,’ in theaters Feb. 12.
Do you remember these hot photos of Miranda Kerr in GQ Magazine? Maybe you were looking at them in work, well if you were then you weren’t the only one because a banker was caught looking at these photos during a Livew News broadcast.
A bank’s private wealth adviser, Martin Lakos, was talking about interest rates being kept on hold but what everyone was really focusing on was the worker in the background.
The guy in the back opens up an email and then puts the Miranda photo up in full screen, even when a co-worker comes over for a chat he leaves the photo up. After realizing there is a camera right behind him focusing on his computer he turns around and laughs.
A spokesperson for Macquarie bank said “Macquarie has strict policies in place surrounding the use of technology and the issue arising from today’s live cross on 7 News is being dealt with internally. We take matters such as the unacceptable use of technology extremely seriously
This is hilarious, of course people are acting all burthurt over this which is ridiculous … it’s not porn or anything and besides we all need to find a way to make it through the day right?

Dean Richards of Chicago’s WGNtv was interviewing Mel Gibson for his new movie, “Edge of Darkness.” Richards, like many other reporters, asked Gibson whether his audience will forgive him for his 2006 drunken outburst and anti-semetic remarks. Gibson was visibly displeased and responded with, “That’s almost four years ago, dude. I mean, I’ve moved on. I guess you haven’t.”
Uh oh!
Gibson then requested Richards to move on, which he did and quickly wrapped up the interview. Gibson can then be heard saying, “a**hole” after sipping his coffee.
However, Gibson says the on-air insult was directed at his publicist, not a WGN reporter.
In a text message to KTLA’s Sam Rubin Wednesday, Gibson said his publicist was making faces at him off camera, and the actor didn’t realize he was still on air when he called him an “a**hole.”
Looks like Mel Gibson is back on his own edge of darkness… or did he ever leave it?

The new Bud Light commercial, introduced online Wednesday, features pudgy, naked male flesh.
It is the latest in down-market brewing’s glorious history of using nudity to sell beer. Only instead of buxom babes, we get 60 seconds of office drones stripping frantically because the company clothing drive is offering a Bud Light for every item donated.
But is Bud Light stripping scared? And will that benefit Joe Six-Pack at the cash register? Donald Lichtenstein, a marketing professor at the University of Colorado’s Leeds School of Business, believes the brand is perhaps acting out in fear of even cheaper beer horning in on its low-brau base. Said Lichtenstein,
“I’ll bet some part of it is a reaction to the market share Pabst is getting.”
So almost everybody wins. We get cheaper beer from other brewers such as Pabst. And we get short-attention-span entertainment between our regularly scheduled programming from Bud Light.
But will Bud Light see enough sales from its latest commercial, a sequel of sorts to its “Swear Jar” campaign with strategic blockage of private parts? It reportedly will not air during the Super Bowl.

Susan Sarandon made a surprise appearance Tuesday evening at indie rock band Of Montreal’s concert in New York City.
While celebs in attendance at concerts tend to fade into the background of roped-off VIP sections, Sarandon surprised everyone at Highline Ballroom by taking the stage and proceeding to sternly spank two naughty pigs (well, men dressed in pig costumes) with a ruler.
Seems like Sarandon, who at 63 separated from her longtime love Tim Robbins, is really enjoying herself, even if that includes spanking people dressed as pigs. Talk about bizarre!
Sarandon was also recently rumored to be involved with 31-year-old Jonathan Brinklin, a partner in Spin, a Flatiron District pingpong club Sarandon invested in. But both have denied the rumors.

Whoever said that it was only women in the music industry that had naked photos of themselves leak? I probably did, but the statement is wrong. NBA star Greg Oden has a naked photo of himself leak on to the internet.
Oden, 22-years-old, plays for the Portland Trailblazers and is currently the “Team Oden” spokesperson for Oregon Mentors which aims at mentoring kids. I wonder if he will lose his contract or if it’s okay for naked photos of men to leak?
This photo was obviously meant for some girl (or guy, you never know!) and either the person on the receiving end or Gred Oden himself leaked the photo. The photo is in a video.
Remember those Armani ads starring David Beckham and his universally large junk? All tube sock enhanced and Photoshopped! Argh.
Elena Di Cioccio of Italian TV show “Le lene” (”The Hyenas”) groped the soccer star yesterday, only to find that his junk is small.
She was curious because of the above ads for Armani along with wife Victoria’s claims that his “Goldenballs” were huge. She was quoted as saying that his junk was as big as a remote control.
Di Cioccio wanted to find out the truth for the public, and I applaud her effort. There’s such thing as truth in advertising, Armani.
“Off the pitch we have seen fascinating photographs of David Beckham in his underpants and seemingly very well endowed and even his wife says that he is well equipped and calls him Golden Balls”, she said.
“Well the image may have slipped slightly as he has been replaced in the Armani campaign by a younger footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, but we wanted to find out if he was as well endowed as the pictures suggest or if they were touched up,” she said.
Here’s video of Di Cioccio talking about the junk-grabbing challenge: (Fyi, it’s in Italian)
After successfully doing what she set out to do, the reporter said, “I touched it but it’s small. David you have conned us all. What did you use cotton wool? It’s all a trick.”

“We were covering another story when we heard shots being fired. We ran toward the sound and found a store being looted. Two Haitian police officers were occasionally firing into the air to try to keep order, but that only worked for a few moments, then the looting would begin again.
They were stealing boxes of candles. An American businessman named Tony who owns two stores nearby barricaded one street to keep looters away. He had armed the two Haitian police with automatic weapons, and they were assisting him, but they were not able to control anything beyond their barricade.
It quickly became a free-for-all. Young men began fighting one another for the stolen items. A number of young men had knives, and planks of wood, screwdrivers and rocks. They were using their improvised weapons to threaten and injure others who had stolen items from the store. The robbers were now being robbed. One group of looters whipped another man with a leather belt. They punched him as well, and they stole the sack of goods he’d just stolen.
I was in the midst of the melee with Charlie Moore, my producer, Neil Hallsworth my cameraman, Vlad Duthiers, my translator, and there was a still photographer from Getty Images with us, photojournalist Jonathan Torgovnik. As things got really out of control, I saw a looter on the roof of the store they’d broken into throw what I think was part of a concrete block into the crowd. It hit a small boy in the head.
I saw him collapse. More chunks of concrete were being thrown at the looters on the roof. The injured boy couldn’t get up. He’d try and then collapse again. Blood was pouring from his head. He was conscious but had no control over his body. I was afraid someone on the roof would see him lying there and throw another cinder block piece onto him. I was afraid he’d get killed. No one seemed to be helping him.
I ran to where he was struggling, and picked him up off the ground. I brought him to a spot about a hundred feet away. I could feel his warm blood on my arms. I stood him up, but he was clearly unable to walk. He wiped his bloody face, and I tried to reassure him. He had no idea where he was, and he clearly couldn’t walk, so I picked him up again and handed him over to someone behind that makeshift barricade. Tony, the American businessman, gave the boy a wet towel. He was then taken away by someone else. We don’t know what happened to him.
I hope he’s ok.”

The response to Anderson Cooper’s brave and unselfish act has been overwhelming. It’s best described by the comment below:
Anderson Cooper as a Haitian – American you are a God Sent, you are Truly an angel on earth… Thank you so much for Being there for my people. That little boy could of died…(crying), but you risked your life to save him… Haiti will be rebuild and you will always be remembered for your Heroic effort.
While I know it crosses the line between being part of the news and or covering it, you and Sanjay are certainly stepping up. How could you not be involved, really. Be careful.
Ashley Greene is wearing nothing in her new ad for SoBe zero calorie Cherimoya Punch and Strawberry Dragonfruit drinks. Do I really need to say much more than that?
The “Twilight” actress was wearing a painted on scales skinsuit for her new commercial. SoBe has announced that you can enter their sweepstakes to win a trip to Las Vegas from now until January 29th.
Of her photoshoot, Ashley says, “Being a part of the SoBe skinsuit shoot in the Turks and Caicos was amazing. It took the artist 12 hours to paint the SoBe scales on each skinsuit, but it was totally worth it. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.”
The photos will appear in the Swimsuit Issue of “Sports Illustrated.”

This time, Kim and sister Khloe Kardashian put on their phone sex voices and are using sex to sell something different: QuickTrim diet pills.
Seriously, this looks like a commercial for one of those late night dating chatlines. Tell me I’m wrong. And they want to make it look like Khloe lost 800 tons of weight for this mess? Unbelievable.
Jennifer Lopez performed her only hit song, “Waiting For Tonight” in Times Square for last night’s New Year’s Eve celebration.
She was wearing a bodysuit that sparked like it was bedazzled and even shoved a dude’s head in her crotch. Adam Lambert might want to take particular note here. It was network television and J-Lo gets away with it?
I expect his fans are still trying to sleep off the night’s celebrations, and we’ll expect an uproar as soon as they wake up out of their drunken slumber.
You can see most of this horrific outfit while she wears a coat for her “Louboutins” performance:
And here she performs “Waiting For Tonight”, after shedding the coat:
Ugh. Welcome to 2010, and so far it sucks!
