Kim Kardashian is upset with whoever falsely reported an emergency at her family's former home in Malibu, California, on Friday. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department responded to the call and found no one in the home. They eventually determined that the Kardashians were in their current Los Angeles County home and were OK. This seems to be another case of "swatting," a term used for prank phone calls made with the intention of getting police officers sent to an unsuspecting home. Following the incident, Kim, who was in Africa over the weekend, tweeted, "Just got a call from my mom telling me about this prank call that someone was shot in their home & 15 swat team & 3 helicopters showed up! These prank calls are NOT funny! People can get arrested for this! I hope they find out who is behind this. Its dangerous & not a joke!"
After having a tight schedule to promote his Oscar-nominated picture, "Django Unchained", Leonardo DiCaprio plans to take hiatus from acting for a "long, long" time. He said, "I am a bit drained. I'm now going to take a long, long break. I've done three films in two years and I'm just worn out." Leo said that he wants to travel more and focus on his environmental works during his long break, explaining, "I would like to improve the world a bit.” But before you start going through your Leo withdrawal, he does have more films yet to be released. On May 10th, "The Great Gatsby" will open and his other film "The Wolf of Wall Street", is also set to be released sometime this year. You won’t even notice he’s gone.
Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan has married her fiancé Clay Pell on Saturday in Providence, Rhode Island before 240 people including Olympic athletes Brian Boitano, Dick Button, and Dorothy Hamill. Clay works as a director for strategic planning on the National Security staff at the White House and is the grandson of late Rhode Island senator Claiborne Pell. Since retiring from figure skating, Michelle has gotten into politics as well and has represented the United States as a public diplomacy ambassador under the administrations of George W Bush and Barack Obama.
James Franco has apologized to Justin Bieber for a video spoof of his song 'Boyfriend' that he released earlier this month. James was speaking during an appearance at the Sundance Film Festival and said of his spoof video, ''I was asked to take it down by some people. Bieber didn't contact me, but I don't think he was too happy. I wasn't trying to diss him.'' The video featured James lip-synching the track and wearing a baseball cap like Justin. It has been reported that Justin has not actually seen the spoof (sure). Incidentally, James had also previously spoofed Justin's ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, when he uploaded a video of himself singing her single "Love You like a Love Song". However, unlike Justin’s camp, Selena raved about James’ parody, saying, "I loved it. It was so good." I think Justin was jealous because James rocks the flat bang baseball cap look better.
