Celebrities Joining the Fight Against New Arizona Immigration Law














Okay, so maybe not celebs like Brad and Angelina have stepped up, but fear not Arizona...you still have Shakira, Linda Ronstadt and Ricky Martin on your side!
The new immigration law basically says that Arizona would require immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times. Supporters say that it is necessary to control illegal immigration. Critics say it would create government sanctioned racial profiling.
Ronstadt, a Tuscon native, said at a Capitol news conference on Thursday, "Mexican-Americans are not going to take this lying down."
After speaking with women in Arizona who this new law would affect, Shakira stated her concern for the women and their children, saying she believes that, regarding cases of domestic violence "They're going to live in fear to call the police or to report a crime that has been inflicted on them."
Ricky Martin spoke out at the Billboard Latin Music Awards ceremony on Thursday saying "You are not alone. We are with you." and added "Put a stop to discrimination. Put a stop to hate. Put a stop to racism."
If the law passes, it will go into effect 90 days after the close of the state's legislation session.

Conan Speaks Out About Jay Leno and NBC


Is Conan O'Brien a bitter boy? Seems that way according his first interview since the Tonight Show, scheduled to air Sunday on "60 Minutes". In the interview, Conan says he wouldn't have "surrendered 'The Tonight Show' and handed it over to someone publicly and wished them well-and then... six months later...But that's me, you know." He also says "He went and took that show back and I think in a similar situation, if roles had been reversed, I know...I know me, I wouldn't have done that."
He later added that "Everyone's got their own, you know, way of doing things," and if he had been in Leno's shoes, he would've "done something else, go someplace else."
He describes leaving NBC as severing a "toxic" relationship, a relationship in which he saw no future.And although he negotiated with the network, Conan stated that he "started to feel that I'm not sure these people even really want me here."
Not all is lost for Conan, though. You can look for his new late night show on TBS! We wish him the best!

Is Michael Leaving Dunder-Mifflin?


It's hard to imagine, but Steve Carell told BBC Radio that next season could be his last on NBC's The Office.
"(I have a) contract through next season," when asked if he planned to continue after his contract was up? "I don't think so. I think that'll probably be my last year."
Carell started in 2005 on The Office as crazy office manager Michael Scott and has since starred in comedies such as "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and "Date Night" putting him on the map as one of America's most loved comics.
Although we are sure to see much more of this talented star for long into the future, what would The Office be without Michael Scott? Sure, we would still have Jim, Pam, Dwight and the rest of the cast, but how will they continue without their fearless leader? Would they even continue the series? Lots of questions and unfortunately not many answers right now, but we will definitely keep you posted!

Looks Like George Really is The Bomb















The word on the street is that earlier today the swank Italian villa owned by everybody’s favorite Hollywood Mougar, George Clooney, was roped off as soldiers searched the area surrounding the home for bombs. The soldiers, sent from the Italian Navy, were following a tip from a local fisherman. Apparently close to five-hundred pounds of World War 2 era bombs were found near the star’s home. The soldiers’’ plan is to collect the arsenal, which includes hand grenades and mortars, and detonate them in nearby caves (have fun guys!)

So how is George handling the bomb threat near his villa? He’s handling it the way that a guy who owns an Italian villa handles things! The cool-headed mougarific Clooney is hanging out in Hawaii where he is currently filming a new movie called The Descendents (let’s hope it’s not a bomb!)

Sandra Bullock Calls It Quits


America's sweetheart, Sandra Bullock, has filed for a divorce from her husband Jesse James Wednesday.   In a recent interview, Bullock confirms by saying "Yes, I have filed for divorce. I'm sad and I am scared." Bullock and James had started the adoption process about 4 years ago in hopes of expanding their family and back in January welcomed 3 1/2 month old Louis Bardo Bullock, but had planned to keep the news secret until after the Oscars. Sandra now plans to adopt Louis as a single parent. We wish her the best of luck and as a huge fan myself, I have to add that Sandra's strength through all of this has made it more apparent that she is is a class act! And as far as Jesse James is concerned, I think that he got what was coming to him. I mean, who cheats on Sandra Bullock?! Come on!!
