Corey Feldman Slams SAG Snub of Corey Haim

Corey Feldman says the omission of his friend Corey Haim from the Screen Actors Guild Awards tribute montage was an unfortunate, if not predictable, turn of events.

"We have become used to not being honored by our peers in the industry," Feldman tells PopEater. "I have faith that the Academy will make a wiser choice."

Haim and Feldman starred in several films throughout the 1980s, including 'The Lost Boys' and 'License to Drive.'

Haim died March 10 at his mother's home in Burbank, Calif. An autopsy report labeled it a "natural death" and illegal drugs were not found in his system. He was 38.

His death was a blow to Feldman, as the two were beginning to reconcile after years of on-off friendship. "This is a tragic loss of a wonderful, beautiful, tormented soul, who will always be my brother, family and best friend," he said at the time.

Months later, Feldman took a leading role in trying to dispel reports that Haim died of a drug overdose. "He was a good boy," Feldman said during a 'Today' show appearance in October. "He was taking care of his very sick mom who had cancer. He was cooking for her, cleaning for her, taking care of her on a daily basis. They found no drugs in his system."

The Screen Actors Guild moved to explain the apparent slight on Monday, telling PopEater Haim was not included in the 'In Memoriam' package that aired because of time concerns.

"This year we prepared a longer version in hopes of being able to salute more actors and a shorter version if it was needed due to time," SAG Awards producer Kathy Connell explains. "Mr. Haim was in the longer version. As the show was running long, we were forced to chose the shorter package."

She added, "The Committee only wishes they had the time to salute everyone."

Bombshell McGee Slams Jesse James' Bedroom Performance

Michelle "Bombshell" McGee had a bombshell of her own for Jesse James on Tuesday's "Wendy Williams Show," when she slammed the "Monster Garage" star's between the sheets moves.

When Wendy "went there," asking the tattooed woman about sex with Jesse, Michelle rated his performance.

"It was average," she told the talk show host with a smile.

Bombshell went from under the radar tattoo model to tabloid fixture in early 2010, after a magazine revealed she had an affair with Jesse, who at the time was married to Sandra Bullock.

Like she did a little less than a year ago, Michelle insisted during her appearance on "Wendy Williams," that Jesse told her his relationship with Sandra was over when the two met up for sexual relations.

"Never wore a wedding ring, never had pictures of her up. Nothing," Bombshell told Wendy.

She noted that she did ask the "Monster Garage" star about his then-marriage to Sandra.

"He said, 'Listen, it's something we can't talk about; we're not together; we're separated. She lives in Austin, I live here. We have to do this for the press. We have to pretend we're married 'cause it can't come out right now. That's the end of it, we're not gonna talk about it any more.'" Bombshell recounted.

While Bombshell was spilling secrets of her relationship with Jesse on Wendy's show, Jesse was exchanging love Tweets with his new fiancée, Kat Von D.

"just so you know, you're impressing the hell outta me…" Kat Tweeted on Tuesday afternoon to Jesse.

"Cinnabun is keeping your spot warm," Jesse Tweeted back to Kat, referring to his dog.

"Glee" Creator Slams Kings of Leon

Almost everyone seems to love Fox's hit musical series, Glee. Celebrities from Anne Hathaway to Gwyneth Paltrow to Paul McCartney have clamored to be involved with the show in one way or another.

Everyone, that is, except the Kings of Leon.

The swaggering Southern rockers balked last year at the opportunity to have the Glee cast cover their songs, saying that doing so would be tantamount to "selling out."

But now the show's creator is lashing out at the band, reports New York.

"#$%# you, Kings of Leon," Glee's Ryan Murphy said in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. "They're self-centered a%$holes, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It's like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of Glee all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music."

Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill was floored by Murphy's harsh remarks.

"This whole Glee thing is a shock to us. It's gotten out of hand. At the time of the request, we hadn't even seen the show. It came at the end of that record cycle, as we were over promoting ["Use Somebody"]. This was never meant as a slap in the face of Glee or to music eduction or to fans of the show. We're not sure where the anger is coming from."

Kevin Smith Slams Bruce Willis in Interview

Director Kevin Smith has an opinion of Bruce Willis, and he's not holding back.

According to the Daily Mail, Smith recently went on the 'WTF with Marc Maron' podcast and slammed Willis' committment and attitude while shooting 2010's 'Cop Out,' which Smith directed.

Smith claims the actor neglected to promote the film, contributing to the movie's lackluster performance in theaters. 'Cop Out' grossed just $44 million in North America.

"It was difficult," Smith said. "I've never been involved in a situation like that where one component is not in the box at all. It was f***ing soul crushing."

The director continued on his rant, adding that Willis was difficult on set and refused to pose for promotional photos.

"I had no f***ing help from this dude whatsoever," Smith said.

Though Willis wasn't on his best behavior while shooting 'Cop Out,' the opposite can be said about his co-star Tracy Morgan, according to Smith.

"He's a f***ing dream," Smith said of the '30 Rock' actor. "Tracy Morgan, I would lay down in traffic for. Were it not for Tracy, I might've killed myself or someone else in the making of that movie."

Judd Apatow, Host of Producers Guild Awards, Slams Ricky Gervais

One of Hollywood's busiest writer-director-producers, Judd Apatow ('The 40-Year-Old Virgin,' 'Superbad,' 'Knocked Up,' the upcoming 'Wanderlust') took on hosting duties Saturday night at the Producers Guild Awards in Los Angeles.

Of course, the elephant in the room was last week's controversial Golden Globes -- in fact, the PGA's took place in the very same Beverly Hilton ballroom -- and Apatow wasted no time slamming that show's emcee, reportedly lacing his monologue with profanities in the process.

"What did you think of Ricky Gervais?" asked Apatow, according to the Hollywood Reporter. "I didn't like him. I thought he was mean."

One by one, he cut Gervais' wisecracks down to size. "He had that joke about the guy on 'Lost' [Jorge Garcia]," said Apatow. "He said he ate everybody else. Let's be honest: Ricky Gervais just lost weight. Even now, he's four pounds away from not being allowed to do a joke like that. Did he lose weight just to make fat jokes? You think that's how mean he is?"

And who can forget last week's uncomfortable Globes moment when Gervais questioned why 'The Tourist' nominees Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp were even invited? "[Gervais] says the characters were two-dimensional....Then he says he hasn't seen 'The Tourist.' So as a comedian, that's not fair, is it? To make jokes about a movie you haven't seen."

"I can't do a joke about [Gervais' 2009 film] 'The Invention of Lying' because I haven't seen it. You haven't seen it. None of us have seen it. So the joke would not work."

Apatow continued his tirade of gallantry: "[Gervais] made a joke about Tim Allen, who was standing next to Tom Hanks. Who looks good standing next to Tom Hanks? We all look like a piece of sh-t standing next to Tom Hanks....Tim Allen did 200 episodes of 'Home Improvement.' He was in three of the highest-grossing movies of all time. And his latest just crossed the one billion mark. Whereas 'The Invention of Lying' made $18 million dollars worldwide...Leave Tim Allen alone."

The Producers Guild Awards was a black-tie event, packed with celebs and industry power players, but wasn't broadcast for TV viewers. Indeed, leading up to the PGA's, host Apatow tweeted his disappointment in Gervais' Globes performance ("mean is too lazy for RG"), but acknowledged on Twitter that asking fans to submit material "better than Ricky Gervais' [jokes]" was merely "fanning controversy to help ratings for a show not being televised."

Winners at the 22nd Annual PGA's included producers of 'The King's Speech,' 'Toy Story 3,' 'Waiting for Superman,' 'Mad Men,' 'Modern Family,' 'The Pacific,' 'Deadliest Catch,' and 'The Colbert Report.'

Jennifer Aniston Slams Her ‘Friends’ Hairdo

Playing Rachel Green on “Friends” made Jennifer Aniston a household name, but looking back at the haircut — emulated across America in the late ‘90s — isn’t something the actress looks back on fondly.

“I love [hairstylist] Chris [McMillan], and he’s the bane of my existence at the same time because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look,’” Jennifer told the February issue of Allure magazine.

“How do I say this?” she continued, “I think it was the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen.”

Jennifer revealed she’s a much more easy going girl – hair wise, anyway.

“I’ve been glammed up; I’ve been glammed down, which is really more me,” she told the mag. “I didn’t wear mascara in [my new movie] ‘Just Go With It’. It’s fun to transform a little bit — what do I have to lose?”

It appears food too is something Jennifer prefers to keep simple.

“My friends and I were in Atlanta, and we went to this restaurant. My one friend is ordering, you know, sweetbreads with foie gras, the bone-marrow pasta, the buffalo tortellini, and I’m like, ‘This just doesn’t quite do it for me.’ You won’t see me ordering pheasant or rabbit,” she said.

Instead, Jennifer said she’s fallen for a simple vegetable.

“You know what I’ve just started to really love lately is Brussels sprouts,” she said. “Usually, Brussels sprouts smell like feet to me. But these were sliced and sautéed and really yummy. I’m going to make that.”

Jennifer also shared that she’s confused by the complex relationships on ABC’s “The Bachelor,” which she thinks appear almost overnight.

“You know what I find fascinating? ‘The Bachelor.’ I was mesmerized by how these girls, they meet this guy, they have three dates together or something, and they’re weeping as though they’ve just lost the love of their life,” she said. “I don’t understand that.”
