Celebrity News Roundup: It Blows Our Minds

After a week filled with company layoffs, a quick visit to NYC and a bird-poop covered cardigan, we are finally at Friday afternoon! And with that, of course, comes the Celebrity News Roundup!

1. Kill Bill's Bill was killed. Actor David Carradine was found dead Thursday in his Bangkok hotel room where he was shooting a film. The 72-year-old was found hanging in his closet, and his death was first reported a suicide. In a shocking twist, it is now being reported that Carradine was found with a rope tied around his neck and another around his genitals. Investigators refuse to state a cause of death until an autopsy is
performed, but possible causes have been stated as suicide (now seeming less and less likely), sex gone wrong, accidental suffocation or heart failure. Nothing about this story is believable, appropriate or in any way okay.

2. Need a tasty treat to beat the heat this summer? Try out a Daniel Craig popsicle! A British ice cream company has created a "License to Thrill" popsicle that looks like Daniel Craig as he's coming up out of the water in Casino Royale. Yummy! The 100 calorie treat will come in blueberry, pomegranate and cranberry flavors. We really hope this idea takes off. Sure it's slightly creepy, but think of all the hot shirtless male celebs they could turn into popsicles! It blows our minds.

3. Fashion label Emanuel Ungaro is in talks with Lindsay Lohan. It was first reported that Ungaro was possibly going to invite her on as a creative consultant (WHY does Ungaro need Lindsay's creative input?) but now the story has shifted that they are considering her to be their new celebrity face. Best part of the story? Ungaro's famed desiger Esteban Cortazar reportedly will walk if Ungaro associate themselves in any way with Lohan. Can you blame the guy? Leggings and a spray tan line do not a fashion career make.

4. Shane West has emerged from that rock he's been hiding under and started hooking up with Evan Rachel Wood. While we're relieved that Evan Rachel has finally found someone attractive, less creepy and closer to her age to hook up with, we have to wonder what Shane West is thinking. This crazy chick dated Marilyn Manson after all. Even weirder is the fact that Evan and Shane know each other from the hit show Once and Again back in the day. You know, the show where they portrayed brother and sister. Ewww. Celeb incest is gross.

5. Eminem finally admitted he was in on the Bruno stunt at the MTV Movie Awards. Knew it.

6. Ashlee Simpson is a mean drunk. She and husband Pete Wentz were at the DJ Hero party in LA earlier this week. Also there was Pete's ex-girlfriend Michelle Trachtenberg, star of such classics as Harriet the Spy and Ice Princess. While things were cordial at first, after a few too many adult beverages Ashlee let loose and yelled at Michelle, saying, "I hope you know, the whole time you were dating Pete, I was fucking him!" Wow. Insecure much? You're married to him and you have a child together. Why rub it in Michelle's face so horribly? Besides you're a MOM. Mom's don't do things like that! Or at least GOOD mothers don't. Poor little Bronx Mowgli.

Have a great weekend!

Ok I couldn't go without commenting on the fact that Shane West has completely devastated me by dating his once onscreen sister. As an avid fan of Once and Again, Shane West was a great love of mine, lol.
