American Idol $12M haunted mansion up for sale?

[Apr. 10]

What’s scarier than standing up in front of an audience of millions to test your singing and stage presence on American Idol? The The American Idol haunted mansion (according to rumors) for finalists is up for sale as celebrity real estate, reports TMZ. Finalists there left the haunted mansion after spooky reports by some finalists — strange noises, breezes blowing the doors open. Your typical haunted mansion celebrity home type stuff. And the haunted mansion will be going for a whopping $12 million — so it houses luxury items for affluent ghosts, we’re sure.

PopEater reported at the end of March:

Naima Adedapo describes, “Even though I’m a very logical person, it was a little disturbing for it to be 2:30 in the morning and the doors blow open and there’s breeze and wind. I picked up this huge chair and put it in front of the door and it still blew open, so it was best to leave the house.”

“The house was just kind of falling apart,” American Idol Stefano Langone told E! Online. “Ants were all over my room. We relocated for a temporary thing. We’re at some hotel now.” And Naima complained of leaks in the haunted mansion.

Apparently a would-be green celebrity Idol winner and haunted mansions don’t get along so well. Not exactly green celebrity sort of digs, although the price tag seems to differ. Perhaps a green celebrity looking to move from the east coast to the west coast (several have been moving from New York) would be interested in having his or her own green celebrity … haunt … on the west coast? It could be a great tourist attraction!

Celebrity Scandal: Dennis Quaid drug addiction shocking Hollywood confession?

Celebrity Scandal!

Actor Dennis Quaid made a startling candid confession about Hollywood culture to the press about cocaine use and drug addiction?

[Apr. 10]

The Big Easy actor Dennis Quaid has opened up about his former cocaine addiction. But the story he tells is remarkable in itself, though unsurprising. The green celebrity actor reveals that Hollywood hands the stuff out like candy. In fact, Dennis Quaid said in an interview with Newsweek, cocaine was practically a part of the job — a perk if you will for actors requiring long hours, many retakes, and pressure to get it done quickly and correctly for teeming audiences looking to see the next star.

From Newsweek:

Cocaine was even in the budgets of movies, thinly disguised. It was petty cash, you know? It was supplied, basically, on movie sets because everyone was doing it. People would make deals. Instead of having a cocktail, you’d have a line. So it was insidious, the way it snuck up on everybody.

Cocaine has become a huge problem for many star celebrities. Charlie Sheen, ousted star of Two and a Half Men has admitted to doing a seven gram rock in a single sitting, not to mention his problem with alcohol. Then there is Paris Hilton, who was busted last year on cocaine possession charges. Gary Busey, now on Celebrity Apprentice nearly died of a cocaine overdose in 1995. Then there’s also Whitney Houston, Kate Moss, and Robert Downey, Jr., all with cocaine problems. There are countless more as well. Call them The Cocaine Fiends if you like (worth checking out; it’s pretty funny).

So green celebrity Dennis Quaid certainly is not the only one drug addiction. Countless green celebrity (and not so green) actors, singers, and other stars still are suffering from drug addiction. But Dennis Quaid is speaking out about how easily drug addiction creeps up on celebrities. And Quaid said that for him, even attempting rehab, his drug addiction only got worse before it got better.

Celebrity Seniors: Funny silver fox Helen Mirren mega hit on SNL?

Funny silver fox Helen Mirren a mega hit on SNL?

[Apr. 10]

Americans became interested in finding out more about celebrity senior Dame Helen Mirren when the famous green celebrity actress was the guest host on the April 9-10, 2011 Saturday Night Live. The silver fox Helen Mirren won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2006 for her role in The Queen. Currently she is starring in a remake of the comedy Arthur, which won Oscars in 1981 for both Best Song and for John Gielgud’s performance as the butler.

Dudley Moore also earned an Oscar nomination for his leading role as the iconic playboy in Arthur, but critics doubt Russell Brand’s ability to achieve the same credit. Brand’s acting abilities are not as well honed as Moore’s were when he played the role, the Los Angeles Times reports. However, classy green celebrity Dame Helen Mirren just may be able to pull it off for the supporting role like Gielgud did in 1981.

MTV reports on Helen Mirren’s impression of her role as the playboy’s nanny:

“Well, me, Helen Mirren, would never ever be in that position because I would never countenance dedicating my life to someone else in that way,” she said. “It takes a very special person to do that, and nannies have that. They’re a very special kind of people, nannies — the kind of people who dedicate their lives to a whole other family that isn’t theirs.”

The charitable silver fox and green celebrity is well-known for her donations and causes. She has traveled to Uganda with Oxfam in support of one of the world’s longest-standing and most bloody crises, with over a million killed and over two million displaced.
