Celebrity Stoners: Cameron Diaz bad teacher for Justin Timberlake?

Celebrity Stoners!

Marijuana news reports and rumors surface that Justin Timberlake, like Cameron Diaz and Snoop Dogg, is perpetually baked?

[Jun. 14]

Justin Timberlake might have been a Mousketeer and a pop star in the boy band N’Sync but he certainly has never been a goodie two shoes. Timberlake shared news with Playboy magazine in a June 2011 interview that the talented singer might be obsessed with music but he is not even considering writing news songs for an album this year. He further told Vanity Fair magazine that his seemingly favorite pastime is smoking marijuana, claiming it helps him relax and shut his brain off from thoughts and worry about the music industry and his new career acting as a movie star in hit films like The Social Network and Bad Teacher. Marijuana news and Justin Timberlake don’t seem like phrases that should go together — considering his remarkable success keeping his own reputation squeaky clean. Even though Justin Timberlake started out early in life acting like a Playboy and dating his pick of celebrity honeys like singer Britney Spears, actress Cameron Diaz, and most recently movie star Jessica Biel, he was always the one who seemed to be the most straight-laced.

Since the Facebook film The Social Network came out, the question of whether or not Justin Timberlake smokes pot started to swirl. Why now? Most likely because his ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz has become a more outspoken advocate for smoking marijuana and to legalize pot. The timing of issues — along with the failure of Prop 9 to legalize the sale of marijuana in the great state of California back in November of 2010 — brought the question to a head and now Timberlake has conclusively answered.

Thank you, Hugh Hefner.

Twilight Celeb Gossip: Gay kiss fallout from 2011 MTV Movie Awards mixed

Gay kiss fallout on celeb gossip websites from 2011 MTV Movie Awards mixed?

[Jun. 9]

LGBT activists are elated, Twi-moms and Twi-dads are struggling for the right words to explain what happened at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards to teens and young kids, and millions of young girls are heartbroken over the thought that Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner might be off the market. Bottom line, Sunday night, June 5, 2011, surprised a lot of Twilight fans and the fallout from the big gay kiss staged between the two Twilight actors has been mixed. Robert Pattinson, who was publicly expected by teen fans and Twi-hard parents to plant a steamy kiss on girlfriend and Twilight movie series costar Kristen Stewart, was expected to repeat the Best Kiss scene with his real life girlfriend from the film. Instead, he taunted his girlfriend that he did not feel like kissing her in front of the Twilight fans watching live from home on TV. Then, the clearly excited RPatz opted to plant a big wet gay kiss on costar Taylor Lautner instead of playing up the smooch factor with KStew. Was Robert Pattinson kissing Taylor Lautner bit really because either actor is a closet gay teen or simply media play?

Is Taylor Lautner gay new Twilight Hollywood debate?

[Jun. 8]

Is Taylor Lautner gay? There has been a great deal of buzz surrounding Taylor Lautner and the kiss at the MTV Awards planted on him by Twilight costar Robert Pattinson. Few believe either one is gay, what with Robert Pattinson coming out as dating costar Kristen Stewart. The pair of course are the star couple in the hit series as vampire Edward Cullen and human Bella Swan (to be married in Breaking Dawn, the latest in the Twilight series). But Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black has been left surprisingly alone throughout the Twilight series. This leads a lot of people to wonder if the character as well as the actor might actually be gay, despite claims to the contrary. On TwilightBlog, there was an entertaining April Fool’s fake interview with Taylor Lautner, in which he purportedly admitted that he was gay. Of course, that has continued to spark rumors about the 19-year-old’s lack of a love interest. Is he really just too busy with work to have a girlfriend? For a character competing with Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen for the love of Bella Swan, one would think Lautner, chiseled as he is, by now would have a girlfriend everyone knew about. But nope. And what is more, there are still people who love the Twilight movie actors Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson who still believe the two men never kissed — and that the viral videos and photos of them in a lip lock in front of a live studio audience at the MTV Movie Awards 2011 are really fake! But no, Twihards — RPatz did plant a big ‘ole smooch right on the lips of his sexy Twink friend in front of God, the television views, and even Kristen Stewart that evening of the very special popcorn awards date.
