Lil Jon Is An Award-Winning Winemaker

While Lil Jon may be known for sipping on CRUNK!, he apparently gets more sophisticated behind closed doors. When he’s not rapping about getting wasted, “Little Jonathan” spends his time mulling over grapes at his winery and winning awards for the product. Earlier today he tweeted:

FOR ALL YALL SUKKAS THAT WERE HATING ON MY WINE CHECK THIS OUT!! WE WINNING AWARDS TWITT!!! GET U SOME

Lil Jon’s 2006 Central Coast Chardonnay took home a Silver Medal at the 2009 Los Angeles International Wines and Spirits Competition. Interested in the prized vino? Buy some at Little Jonathan Winery’s website.

Miley Has Definitely Lost Her Camera Shyness

Remember a couple years back, when everyone got their underwear in a twist about Miley Cyrus‘s photoshoot for Vanity Fair where she — gasp! — exposed her back. The resulting media hysteria meant Miley was forced encouraged to release a statement saying she was “embarrassed” about the photos shot by Annie Leibovitz. Kind of sounds even more ridiculous these days, especially when you get a look at these impromptu photos of the teen star. Taken by director Adam Shankman and posted on Twitter, Miley looks pretty unembarrassed about posing for these lighthearted vampy shots to us! [Photo: Splash News Online]

Hugh Hefner Tweets Like Your Grandpa

There’s something so adorable about watching your parents or grandparents figure out technology. Ya know – it’s like when they leave a voicemail on your phone and end it with, “love, mom, ” like a letter. They get it, but not completely.

So it was extra precious to see that 83-year-old Hugh Hefner has signed up for Twitter and is now updating his site. Hef’s always been, uh, young at heart – what with the reality shows and the super-sexy girlfriends that travel with him like a pack of wolves. But online, the guy actually sounds his age for once!

Since joining the site yesterday, Hef has tweeted about playing dominoes and Uno with his girlfriends and his favorite Cary Grant movie. Even better, he signs off with his name at the end of every post. Grandpa Hef is gonna take the web by storm! [via Buzzfeed. Photo: GettyImages]

Ashton And Demi May Quit Twitter Over TV Show

Ashton Kutcher worked hard to get nearly 2 million followers on Twitter, but if the company goes ahead with a celeb-stalking TV show, he may never twit again. Twitter is developing a program that would put users on the trail of celebs, and neither Kutcher nor his wife Demi Moore are enthused.

“Wow I hope this isn’t true,” wrote Ashton. “I really don’t like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus…It’s all fun and games until somebody gets stalked.” Added Moore, “If it is, our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!” Will Twitter risk losing these two? We’re sure Spencer Pratt‘s just fine with the show.

Kirstie Alley: Twitter’s Latest Ranting Celebrity

Kirstie Alley announced recently on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she would soon be Twittering up a storm, and the former Jenny Craig spokeswoman has kept her promise! The actress is busy spouting Scientolgy talking points about drugs and postpartum depression (Tom Cruise‘s favorite subject) on her Twitter page, and is is voicing her opposition to a bill in Congress that “would provide money for screening, diagnosis and treatment of postpartum depression,” reports Politico.

Here’s some of her rant, delivered in 140 characters at a time, natch:

I have to get you all info on THE MOTHER’S ACT. this is this lousy BILL that would give BIG BROTHER the right to force you to drug ur kids

AND MANDATE that when you are pregnant, YOU MUST take drugs if a Dr. tells you to. THIS is BIG BROTHER at his finest. More on this soon moms

I am organizing a MILLION MOM MARCH to protest this BILL. It just keeps rearing it’s head. BACKED 100% by BIG PHARMA. MOMS UNITE!!

BABIES HAVING PROZAC squirted in there eyes at birth to prevent depression later on. HELLO 1984.. I will keep you informed. It is brutal!

Yep, she really said that. A spokesperson for Senator Bob Menendez, who sponsored the bill in the Senate, disputed Alley’s claims. “There is nothing in this bill that forces expectant mothers or new mothers to do anything, much less take medication,” said Afshin Mohamadi. “Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry has had nothing to do with this bill. We frankly have no idea where they get this stuff.” [Photo: GettyImages]

Demi Moore Is Toothless On Twitter

Good old Demi Moore just can’t get enough of Twittering and we love her for it – especially as she posted this shot of her missing a front tooth this weekend. Usually looking inhumanely hot (especially for a forty-something mom of three), it’s refreshing to see that Demi too looks pretty weird when having a tooth taken out at the dentist – but also kind of cute. We’ve already seen the shot of her bum, courtesy of husband Ashton Kutcher, so we can’t wait to see what other intimate snaps the web-happy couple are going to share… [Photo: Twitter]

John Mayer: Fame Whore Or Showbiz Type?

John Mayer is tired of you thinking he’s a douche. Not because it hurts his feelings, but because it shows an ignorance of Hollywood history. Yesterday the singer took to his Twitter to lay it out for us.

Long before “douches” and “famewhores” there were these people called “showbiz types.” “Showbiz types” are people who grew up talking to themselves alone in a room for hours until they found some sort of outlet. Once they found that outlet, everything fell into place, except for the fact that they still never worked out why they still talk so much.

So you see, though filled with deep emotional voids that can never be filled, Showbiz Types are an important part of our Nation’s tapestry. I’m a Showbiz Type. (cue penny whistle and marching drums) But I am not a douche!! (of 1,090,466, seventeen stand and applaud wildly)

What do you think? Do all the wry twitters, creepy pick-up lines, easy waitresses, obnoxious videos and Rolling Stone cover-girls in Mayer’s world show him to be a douchey fame whore or just your average Showbiz Type? We’re sure he’d like to know!

Miley Cyrus’ Bahamas Bikini Break

Miley Cyrus can have all the Lucky Charms she wants! The singer had a Twitter flip-out Friday evening when web boards called her fat for posting “I just jiggled my thighs and they shook on their own for 3 mississipis no more late night lucky charms” earlier that day.

im a normal girl theres things about my body i would change but stop with calling me f*t in post. i dont even like the word. those remarks that you hateful people use are fighting words. the ones that scar people and cause them to do damage to themselves or others. people that are so okay with being so hateful diguist me and need to spend last time on a gossip website and more time a. reading your bible b. reading stories/articles about what happens when cyber abuse and name calling happens…oh and ps if your thighs don’t jiggle go see a doctor. thanks.

Ironically, Miley didn’t look self-conscious at all—let alone overweight—as she enjoyed the Bahamas in a bikini that same day. If she hadn’t brought up those Lucky Charms, we can’t imagine why any geek would have hated on her in the first place.

Amber Rose Loves Twitter, Madonna’s Hand On Her Ass

Kanye West may have completely lost any sense of humor he had over his fake Twitter blog, so it’s even funnier to see his girlfriend Amber Rose totally loving the site herself. The model posted some personal snaps of herself, her man and Madonna at the Met ball last week — and showed that Madge is still oh-so-naughty, grabbing Amber’s bum for a cheeky shot. Love it! Hopefully she’s told grumpy Kanye what she’s done… [Photo: Twitter]

Kanye West Vs. Twitter

It’s not really too surprising that web enthusiast Kanye West is not a fan of Twitter. Sure he loves to talk, but how could he ever stick to 140 characters? West went off on the subject on his blog yesterday, letting everyone know that all those accounts of they’re friending are fake. Fake, fake, fake!!!

This spaz comes courtesy of losers making fake Kanye West Twitter accounts) I DON’T HAVE A F—ING TWITTER… WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON’T HAVE A F—ING TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT… THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN’T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT’S A F—ING FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW …. WHY? … BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!

That’s one angry gay fish. Will Twitter listen to his plea and put an end to fake celebrity accounts? Could they even stop them all if they wanted to? We’re guessing “no, just his” to question one and “yes, but why would they” to question two.
