Hollywood March Madness: K-Fed v. Mel, Tara v. Moss

Be sure to check out the original post about Bumpshack’s Hollywood March Madness. The competition was a bit better on day two of our tournament. Check out the results at the bottom of this post. Be sure to vote in today’s match-ups to see who will advance to round two. Here are the results of who moves on to the next round of our tournament to determine who is Hollywood’s Craziest Celebrity.

The final day of round one will have Tara Reid going boob-to-boob with Kate Moss and K-Fed battling Rabbi Mel Gibson.

HMMT: Tara v. KateOur final female match of the first round has party girl Tara ‘Taradise’ Reid (3) against Kate ‘Coke’ Moss (6). Reid has made headlines recently for her excessive partying, debauchery, and botched plastic surgeries. Moss was photographed doing lines of cocaine at a club and is engaged to demented rocker Pete Doherty. Vote and decide if Kate’s ‘nose’ can upset Tara’s ‘fun bags’. 


  

HMMT: Mel v. KFEDThe final male match of round one is an interesting one. Legendary backup dancer Kevin Federline (3) is the favorite in his match up against Mel Gibson (6). K-Fed has been the poster child for bad parenting and horrible career decisions. He is credited with ruining former goddess Britney Spears. Gibson, a former alcoholic, fell off the wagon hard last summer. In an anti-semitic tirade against Malibu cops he did irreversible damage to his career and called a female cop ’sugar tits’ during the process. Is Mel or K-Fed the crazier of the two? Vote to decide who advances. 


  

 

Here are the results from day three of the first round of Hollywood March Madness:

Paris Hilton was our first higher seed to beat a lower seed. She easily beat former best friend Nicole Richie. Paris advances to play #1 seed Britney Spears in Round 2:

(27 votes 35%) Nicole Richie (4)
(51 votes 65%) Paris Hilton (5) Winner

Michael Jackson had no problem with Greasy Bear Brandon Davis. In the biggest first round blowout Jackson took nearly 93% of the vote. Here is the breakdown of how the voting went:

(65 votes 93%) Michael Jackson (4) Winner
(5 votes 7%) Brandon Davis (5)

Bumpshack’s Hollywood March Madness Tournament

The NCAA men’s basketball tournament starts this week. But here at the Bumpshack we are having our own tourney version called Hollywood March Madness. In our tournament we will will pit Hollywood stars head-to-head to see who is Hollywood’s Maddest Celebrity. Sixteen Hollywood stars have been seeded. One half of the bracket is comprised of the women and the men fill out the bracket on the converse side. The #1 seeds are Britney Spears and Tom Cruise. The winners will be decided by your voting.

Today the #1 and #8 seeds will battle on each side of the bracket. That means you will be deciding the winners between Britney Spears and Madonna as well as between Tom Cruise and Donald Trump.

Hollywood March Madness Britney v. MadonnaThe first round and first matchup of the tournament will be between troubled pop star Britney Spears and her kissing buddy Madonna. Britney’s troubles have been well documented during the past month. Madonna has always been on the lunatic ledge, pushing limits to the max. Today you never know what will escape Madge’s lips. Can Madonna, the 8th seed, upset Bald Britney?

 


 

Hollywood March Madness Bracket Tom v. DonaldNumber eight seed Donald Trump will play host to number one seed Tom Cruise at Trump Towers. Alien Tom put forth his best acting job ever by marrying Katie Holmes last year. His couch jumping and alien worship helped him earn the male #1 seed. The Donald has a continuing nasty feud with Rosie O’Donnell. That seemed to start after he gave Miss USA Tara Conner a second chance. You will decide if Trump will upset Tommy Boy.

 


 

Mel Gibson surprises Hollywood again!

Movies: Apocalypto

Mel Gibson has surprised Hollywood once again and this time it doesn’t involve a rant against the Jews.  Mel’s movie Apocalypto, according to earlier reports, is winning the weekend box office.

Call it a Hollywood shocker. Despite scandal, an R-rating, subtitles because of an ancient dialect, no stars, and direct competition from movieland AAA-listers Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz, Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto won today’s matinees this opening weekend, I’m told.

Today’s development bears out my reporting back on December 1st when I was told that early tracking showed Mel’s movie (playing in 2,465 theaters) edging ahead. Based on today’s matinees, the No. 2 spot went to Sony’s The Holiday (in 2,610 playdates), a date movie from director-writer Nancy Meyer, known for capturing that man-woman zeitgeist.

Today’s result is exactly what Disney — which had been under pressure to dump Mel’s self-financed Mayan epic after his drunken anti-Semitic stumble — was hoping for: that Gibson had become a brand name and that his The Passion of the Christ and Braveheart audiences would reward him with their moviegoing loyalty (and not hold his drunken anti-Semitic ranting against him).

It will be pretty amazing if Apocalypto tops the weekend box office considering all of Gibson’s troubles in the past few months. Many in Hollywood doubted him on The Passion of the Christ and lost their jobs when it made hundreds of millions of dollars. It looks like there might be some pink slips given out on Monday as well.

‘Turkey of the Year’ voting

Thanksgiving day might be over but voting for this year’s ‘Turkey of the Year’ is just beginning. I have nominated a few pretty good choices. Have at it, vote, and let your reason be known in the comments.


   

Mel Gibson confesses stupidness

Photo: Mel GibsonMel Gibson, in an interview to be aired Thursday night with Diane Sawyer, says his comments after his arrest was the ’stupid rambling of a drunkard’.

Gibson told ABC’s Diane Sawyer, “What I need to do (is) to heal myself and to be assuring and allay the fears of others and to heal them if they had any heart wounds from something I may have said.”

More and more companies continue to pull spinach products over E. coli concerns.

Both Time and Newsweek want to put Mel Gibson’s film Apocalypto on their covers.  Many are wondering if Oscar voters will give Gibson a fair shot now since his tirade regarding disparaging Jews.

Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are known to hold grudges for a myriad reasons, and Gibson’s anti-Semitic remarks over the summer provide ample fuel. Then again, the voters are supposed to judge the merits of the film and not the man behind it. The question is: can that be possible?

Is Colin preparing himself to pull a Mel?

Colin Farrell has been sober for six months since his recent stint in rehab, but he is not confident in how long it will last

He says, “I won’t say I’ve given up drink for good - I’ve said too many ‘for goods’ in my life that didn’t last. I haven’t had a drink for six months. I had to stop. I was burning the candle at both ends, and it finally met in the middle. And I can’t do that any more because I don’t just have myself to think of now, I have my son, too.”

Tom Cruise’s Career still more damaged than Mel’s

gibsoncruise.jpgWhose career in Hollywood is in more jeopardy. The career and reputation of Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson? According to a poll by Us Weekly Tom Cruise’s career is in more jeopardy. Tom leads the poll by a margin of 52%-48%.  That is pretty amazing considering all the bad press that Mel Gibson has received during the past week for his DUI arrest and anti-semitic comments.

More from Mel’s Wild Night

More and more info continues to surface from Mel Gibson’s wild night last week before being pulled over for DUI.  TMZ reports:

TMZ has learned when an allegedly inebriated Mel Gibson left Malibu’s Moonshadows restaurant in the wee hours of Friday morning, he walked past the valet attendant with his head down, hands behind his back and uttered “I’m f****d up.”

Shortly thereafter, as TMZ first reported, Gibson was arrested for driving 87 mph in a 45-mph zone with a blood-alcohol level of 0.12 (the state limit is 0.08).

ABC cancels Gibson’s Holocaust Series

ABC has cancelled Mel Gibson’s mini-series on the Holocaust after Gibson’s drunken anti-Semitic slurs after being arrested for driving while intoxicated.

Gibson was not expected to act in the 4-hour mini-series, nor was it certain that his name would even be publicly attached to the final product. But Quinn Taylor, ABC’s senior vice president for movies for television, had said at the time the project was announced that the attention-getting value of having Gibson attached was a factor in greenlighting the Holocaust project.

After the huge success of his The Passion of the Christ, networks and studios sought out Gibson and his Icon production company because they felt he’d reached a previously untapped spiritual audience for Hollywood entertainment. But the attention-getting value of having Gibson attached to the Holocaust project post-DUI arrest is what got the project killed at ABC.

I guess Mel said it best the night he was pulled over, “My life is f****d.”

Recovery for Gibson: According to Gibson’s rep he has entered a recovery program

Gibson’s rep, Alan Nierob, exclusively tells Star, “He is in a program of recovery at this time.”

Chris Prentiss, a neighbor of Gibson’s and the co-founder of celebrity treatment centre Passages in Malibu, Calif., tells Star: “I understand he has gone to a treatment centre. The center that I’ve heard he’s checked himself into follows the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step program. And I don’t believe that will help him.”

“He needs individual intense therapy by a team of people who know what they are looking for in causes in alcoholism.”

Mel’s Mug

This is actually one of the better mug shots I have ever seen. Considering how Mel Gibson totally lost it, according to reports after being pulled over for DUI, he looks pretty calm in his mug shot.

The Passion of Mel Gibson

The DUI arrest of Mel Gibson is well circulated by now, but the alleged cover up and Mel’s psychotic break down is just now starting to make the rounds. TMZ.com broke this part of the story and it is pretty ugly for Gibson.

According to the report, Gibson became agitated after he was stopped on Pacific Coast Highway and told he was to be detained for drunk driving Friday morning in Malibu. The actor began swearing uncontrollably. Gibson repeatedly said, “My life is f****d.” Law enforcement sources say the deputy, worried that Gibson might become violent, told the actor that he was supposed to cuff him but would not, as long as Gibson cooperated. As the two stood next to the hood of the patrol car, the deputy asked Gibson to get inside. Deputy Mee then walked over to the passenger door and opened it. The report says Gibson then said, “I’m not going to get in your car,” and bolted to his car. The deputy quickly subdued Gibson, cuffed him and put him inside the patrol car.

The report says Gibson told the deputy, “You mother f****r. I’m going to f*** you.” The report also says “Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he ‘owns Malibu’ and will spend all of his money to ‘get even’ with me.”

The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: “F*****g Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.” Gibson then asked the deputy, “Are you a Jew?”

The deputy became alarmed as Gibson’s tirade escalated, and called ahead for a sergeant to meet them when they arrived at the station. When they arrived, a sergeant began videotaping Gibson, who noticed the camera and then said, “What the f*** do you think you’re doing?”

A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female sergeant and yelled, “What do you think you’re looking at, sugar tits?”

We’re told Gibson took two blood alcohol tests, which were videotaped, and continued saying how “f****d” he was and how he was going to “f***” Deputy Mee.

We’re told Deputy Mee was then ordered to write another report, leaving out the incendiary comments and conduct. Sources say Deputy Mee was told the sanitized report would eventually end up in the media and that he could write a supplemental report that contained the redacted information — a report that would be locked in the watch commander’s safe.

According to the story all of this is captured on tape and if so everything Gibson did after his arrest will do far more damage to him and his image than the simple drunk driving arrest would have.

UPDATE: Mel Gibson has issued an apology for his arrest and actions following his arrest Friday morning.

“I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested,” he said in a statement issued by his publicist. “I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse.”

Gibson also apologized Saturday for what he called “my belligerent behavior” when he was taken into custody.

“The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person,” he said.

“I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable.”
