Amanda Bynes Tweets Obama For Help After DUI Charge, Possibly Doesn’t Understand Government

Amanda Bynes

“Hey @BarackObama… I don’t drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don’t hit and run. The end,” Amanda Bynes tweeted yesterday, shortly after she was charged with misdemeanor DUI for allegedly side-swiping a cop car and fleeing the scene in April. Despite her (and her father’s) frequent claims that she does not drink, prosecutors leveled the charge against her because she refused to take a Breathalyzer or blood test when she was arrested at 3 a.m on April 6, according to TMZ. At the time, the cops said she failed a field sobriety test and was deemed unfit to drive.

If convicted, she’d face 48 hours to six months in jail, but due to California’s notoriously overcrowded prison system, she’d likely only serve a couple of hours. Still, Bynes is clearly not going to stand for this kind of mark on her record, and for some reason seemed to think that the president could help her. Hmm, we know the Obamas love their celebrity friends, and the POTUS is relying on the likes of George Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jay-Z to help raise money and get out the vote this November. But something tells us that all her Twitter plea has done today is make us worry about the civic education of former child actors. Maybe she was too busy being All That to learn about the actual duties of the president?

Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth Are Engaged! Celebrate With 15 Super-Couple-y Photos Of The Super Couple

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are engaged

After three years of dating, and three years of rumors of splits and engagements, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are engaged, Miley’s rep confirmed to People today. “I’m so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam,” she told the magazine. He proposed last Thursday, May 31, with a 3.5-carat diamond ring from Neil Lane.

The 19-year-old actress/singer and her 22-year-old Hunger Games beau began dating in 2009 while filming The Last Song. They announced their breakup in August 2010, but were photographed making out in a car just a month later. Earlier this spring, after Miley was spotted wearing a rock on her left ring-finger, Liam’s older brother, Chris Hemsworth said he thought the pair were too young to get married. And we kind of agreed at the time. But perhaps the experience of caring for their growing pack of dogs together has made them decide to settle down?

Whatever the reason, we’re extending a wholehearted congrats to Liam and Miley, and consider this gallery of them being super-couple-y our engagement present to them.

Jenny McCarthy Breaks Our Hearts, Says Jim Carrey Hasn’t Visited Her Autistic Son

Jenny McCarthy Says Jim Carrey Hasn't Visited Autistic Son

We’ve been bummed out by Jim Carrey before, but that was just his creepy attempts to get Emma Stone’s attention. This is sadder. A lot sadder. Like Jim-Carrey-allegedly-won’t-go-visit-Jenny McCarthy‘s-autistic-son sad. “I’ve tried to ask [Jim] numerous times [to see Evan], because my son still asks,” the Playboy bunny and Love in the Wild host explained to Howard Stern about her ex. “I tell [Evan] that someday you’ll cross paths, meet again. . . [but] it’s hard. He’s been in therapy. It’s a process, he’s working on it.” According to McCarthy, her son says he misses Carrey “almost weekly” since their 2010 break-up, which, unless you’re made of stone, is the saddest thing you’ve heard all week. Possibly ever.

Of course, it’s harder when Jenny isn’t actually speaking to her ex; McCarthy feels she can’t contact the actor directly, relying on other “channels” instead. “I think that sometimes people need to take a real break from each other,” McCarthy mused. “But I still love him. I think you can love people from a distance and respect him. But as a mother, you just hope when you have a relationship with someone, it has nothing to do with the child when you break up.” If you’ll excuse us, we just need to put our head down on our desks and cry quietly for a few minutes now. We’ll go ahead and put our jackets over our heads to muffle the sobs.

Debra Messing Finally Files For Divorce From Husband Daniel Zelman

Debra Messing Files For Divorce From Daniel Zelman

Over six months after announcing her separation, TMZ reports that Debra Messing has finally filed for divorce from husband of almost 12 years Daniel Zelman. The Smash actress cited “irreconcilable differences” in the documents her lawyer Neal Hersh submitted to L.A. County Superior Court, in addition to asking for joint custody and spousal and child support. “I think the institution of marriage is a noble thing. I think the idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we’re living to 100. A hundred years ago, people were dying at age 37. Til death do us part was a much different deal,” Messing told Ladies Home Journal last month. Hmmm, if your spouse is telling Ladies Home Journal your marriage only would have worked if she’d died at 37…yeah, probably time to throw in the towel.

While the couple was reportedly living together after their split for the sake of their son, other reports claimed Debra was allegedly on the rebound in real life with her on-screen lover Will Chase, a turn of events we imagine would make her unconventional living situation…more than a little awkward. “It’s a very long time,” Debra added in her LHJ interview. “And I am at peace with the journey we’ve had. I feel like the 20 years we had together has been a huge success. And despite the fact that everything is changing, I think everyone is thriving.” Good luck on your next 20 year marriage, Debra! At this rate you can fit it…what, approximately three more?

Are Lady Gaga And Taylor Kinney Together Again?

Lady Gaga And Taylor Kinney Dating Again

More like “Good Romance,” right? “You And I (Are Doing Pretty Well Considering)?” Yeah, that one feels right. Despite their alleged break-up last month, Lady Gaga and Vampire Diaries actor Taylor Kinney are reportedly together again, or as together as two people can be when they often work and live in different hemispheres. “They sure looked like they were back together — holding hands and being cute everywhere they went,” a source told Us Weekly after spotting the couple together during the Thailand leg of Gaga’s tour. “They were seen kissing right as they got into the [hotel] elevator.” Skype is about to rake in a buttload of cash if this is remotely true! We bet Gaga can get some kind of platinum Skype account, though. Celebrities always get the sweetest plum.

Between Gaga’s ongoing world tour and Kinney’s smoking-hot firefighter show Chicago Fire premiering this fall, we weren’t that surprised to hear that the two had split. Actually, we’re more surprised to hear they might be taking another crack at it. “She will be touring nonstop until next year and has found she can’t have relationship at the same time,” Us Weekly reported about the break-up in early May. Well, good luck you two! We’re sure there’s…some chance…this will pan….out. Maybe?

Drew Barrymore And Will Kopelman Are Married!

Drew Barrymore, Will Kopelman Married

Mazel tov, Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman! The couple tied the knot in a lovely intimate ceremony on Saturday at her Montecito, California, estate. A source described the nuptials to People as, “a classic, simple, very pretty, garden-inspired wedding.” They were officially married under a chuppah while a rabbi officiated, and another source told Us Weekly that the pregnant bride’s custom Chanel gown was, “a long white dress in pleated muslin and organza, designed for Barrymore by Karl Lagerfeld himself. The skirt of the dress was embroidered with flowers in organza, muslin, tulle and feathers. A black satin belt accentuated Barrymore’s waist — and baby bump. She also accessorized her bridal gown with Chanel Fine Jewelry.” Wow, Chanel, FTW! Will’s father, Ari Kopelman was the former CEO of Chanel, FYI. The flower child may be all grown up, but she did have her hair pinned up with white gardenias. The couple also drove off in a classic Mercedes when the party was done.

Celebrity guests included bestie Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth, Jimmy Fallon and wife Nancy Juvonen, Busy Philipps and her husband, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw. This is Barrymore’s third marriage, but her first child, due later this year. We wish the newlyweds all the happiness!

Russell Brand Demands A Kanye-Kim Sextape, Proposes To Fassbender At MTV Movie Awards

Russell Brand hosts the MTV Movie Awards
“Twilight! Hunger Games!” Russell Brand called out throughout his MTV Movie Awards opening monologue, knowing it’d be the tried and true way to get cheers, no matter what tasteless joke he made just before. Not that we don’t love those jokes too, especially this time, when they took a decidedly self-deprecating turn. First, after he praised Justin Bieber for allegedly beating up a paparazzo, with a nod to his own phone-tossing encounter with a photographer.

“If, after recent events you think it’s hypocritical of me to joke about celebrities beating up a paparazzi, wait till you see what I have to say about short lived celebrity marriages,” Russell quipped. Which would have been funnier, had the show producers not cut away to Jennifer Aniston, making things just, awkward.

Russell then decided to pick on/praise Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for “taking the pressure off” him — Kanye for making headlines the last time Russell hosted an MTV awards show at the 2009 VMAs, and Kim for having an even shorter marriage end just before his did. He also encouraged the new couple to return to the skill that made Kim famous in the first place: making a sex tape. Only, he cautioned Kanye against drinking before turning on the camera. “Learn the lessons of the VMAs: When you’re drunk, you do have a propensity to pounce on unsuspecting girls from the rear with a bottle in your hand.”

Though he said Charlie Sheen was on hand to take even more pressure off of him in the crazy antics department, Russell provided one more joke at his own expense, reminding everyone of how he met Katy Perry when he hosted the VMAs. “Last time I did an awards show I did end up marrying someone that was there. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for my next wife. Fassbender, it has to be,” he said, eying Michael Fassbender in the audience.

We loved it, but what did you think?

No Jail For DUI, Assault Charges Dropped: Things Are Looking Slight Less Horrible For Matthew Fox

Matthew Fox Avoids Jail For DUI

After having what for most people would be the worst week of their life, Lost actor Matthew Fox some good news today. Of course, no news could be good enough to counterbalance the awfulness he was accused of on Wednesday, so take that into consideration. After being arrested for a DUI in Oregon earlier this month, TMZ reports that Fox struck a plea deal with prosecutors which will ensure he doesn’t get jail time; as part of the deal Matthew pled no contest to one count of DUI, lost his license for a year and has to undergo drug and alcohol treatment. Oh, boy. Actually, that news is kind of a mixed bag, too.

That being said, the actor had to be pleased that Heather Bormann, the Cleveland party bus driver who accused Fox of assaulting her last year, had her case recently withdrawn by her lawyer after she allegedly “intentionally failed and refused to provide full and timely cooperation and information.” Boy, that’s kind of unsettling too, right? Oh, and then there’s the part where his former Lost costar Dominic Monaghan took to Twitter and claimed that Fox “beats women.” You know what? Forget we said anything. Matthew Fox’s whole situation is still coming out deep in the negative column.

15 Adorable Pics Of Adam Levine’s New Victoria’s Secret Girlfriend, Behati Prinsloo

Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine

Looks like Adam Levine found a way to soothe his broken heart after breaking up with his girlfriend of two years, Victoria’s Secret model Anne V: Dating another Victoria’s Secret model! The singer/Voice judge/super-hot-lady magnet was snapped kissing, holding hands and joking around with 23-year-old Namibian VS Pink girl Behati Prinsloo earlier this week, where he was attending a friend’s wedding.

While the Daily Mail brings up how awkward it’ll be in the dressing room for the next VS shoot, we would like to focus on something else: How absolutely adorable Prinsloo is. The model, who’s covered several European Vogue and Elle issues and posed for everyone from the Gap to Zac Posen, not only tweets out super cute pics of herself, she seems to have a blast in front of the cameras at red carpets and on the runway. Check out this little collection we put together, and insert a “Moves Like Jagger” joke here:

Always Fall In Love At The Jersey Shore: Sammi And Ronnie Are Back At It

Jersey Shore's Sammi And Ronnie Caught Kissing

She just doesn’t know how to quit you, bro. Jersey Shore‘s preeminent love birds Sammi and Ronnie were caught canoodling outside a hotel in New Jersey today on this, the first day of filming for JS‘s new season. Call us crazy, but we’re pretty certain that kiss is the real deal. After seeing their relationship unfold almost entirely in public, we think it’s fair to say these guys are basically our generation’s Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Or they definitely are, seeing as how virtually no one who watches Jersey Shore will understand or care about that reference.

Maybe we’re the only ones that didn’t see this coming, but we were 99% certain these two were over and done and had already moved on as of last year. “We are not together,” Sammi declared in October after the gang had returned from their fourth season abroad in Italy. During this spring’s Jerseyliciousfifth season, Sam and Ron were so laid-back about their love, we…well, we assumed they had quietly broken up and the show just didn’t get into it. How could we not think that? Remember how insane their relationship was in the third season? Remember The Incident With Sammi’s Glasses? We still wake up in a cold sweat just thinking about it, but good luck, you two! It’s like everyone says: sixth season’s the charm!
