The new Captain America movie set an April box office record. However, some
people are upset with the movie because they don’t feel Captain America was
portrayed in the movie as he was in the Bible.

TINSELTOWN TATTLER…
British TV host PEACHES GELDOF, the daughter of Bob Geldof and the late
Paula Yates, has died at the age of 25. In a statement, Bob Geldof said: "Peaches
has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and
the most bonkers of all of us. Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful
child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable?"
Police say the death is being treated as unexplained and sudden. Peaches was
married to musician Thomas Cohen and they have two young sons, Astala, who
will turn 2 on April 21st, and Phaedra, who will turn 1 on April 24th. Peaches was
just 11 years old when her mother, Yates, died of a drug overdose in September
2000. Peaches also had her own struggles with drugs and thought she’d found the
answer in Scientology.
JUSTIN BIEBER was reportedly banned from all the hottest nightclubs in Miami
over the weekend because they’ve decided he's a bigger headache than he's worth.
Sources tell TMZ that Bieber's people called ahead to reserve tables at LIV, Story,
and Adoré while Bieber was in town, but he struck out. Despite his people begging
and pleading and promising to spend big money on bottles if the clubs let him in, it
was no deal. The problem is, Bieber is under 21 and the last time he hit the Miami
clubs he was arrested for DUI, which earned a ton of negative press for SET
nightclub, where Bieber had been partying prior to the bust. The clubs did offer to
let Bieber in if he agreed to perform a song, since performers can be under 21, but
Bieber turned them down and no one cared.
DEMI LOVATO hasn’t officially commented on nude photos of her that were
leaked online over the weekend, but she has issued somewhat cryptic statements on
Twitter. Some of the photos show her in bed with boyfriend WILMER
VALDERRAMA and she tweeted in Spanish: "Soy fuerte. Soy luchadora. Asi que
no me subestimen," which means, "I am strong. I'm a fighter. Don't underestimate
me." (See photos here)

TINSELTOWN TATTLER 2…
LINDSAY LOHAN admitted on her TV show to falling off the wagon and having
a single glass of wine, although we know how Lindsay tends to underestimate
those numbers. However, she could be flirting with disaster. Not only is she said to
be a diva in her AA classes, word is that she plans to go to the Coachella Music
Festival with her party pal mother Dina. A supposed Lohan insider, who’s
probably her father Michael, says, “Lindsay should not be going to Coachella
…and having Dina with her isn’t really making anyone feel comfortable that she
will be a good chaperone. It’s a big alcohol and drug festival and it is the last place
that Lindsay should be.” The source continues, “Lindsay swears that she’ll stay
sober, but Coachella is a huge party and there are going to be so many temptations
for her. Everyone is really worried about her.”
While many have to pay highly inflated prices for Coachella tickets, a number of
celebrities are actually being paid to attend, among them LEA MICHELE,
AARON PAUL, KATE BOSWORTH and VANESSA HUDGENS. Lea Michele
is being paid $20,000 by Lacoste to attend while dressed in their clothes. Vanessa
Hudgens is being paid $15,000 by McDonald’s to attend, perhaps in large shoes
and baggy pants. Meanwhile, Kate Bosworth is demanding $30,000, Aaron Paul
wants $15,000 and VIP passes, and Joe Jonas reportedly wants “under $20,000.”
ROB LOWE says he's not a narcissist, but claims there's an "unbelievable bias"
against good-looking people like himself. Lowe is plugging his new book Love
Life and tells The New York Times magazine there's a notion that good-looking
people can't be in pain or they can't have rough lives or be deep or interesting.
They can't be any of the things that you long to play as an actor. Lowe says, “I'm
getting to play those parts now and loving it. When I was a teen idol, I was so
goddamn pretty I wouldn't have taken myself seriously."

"HARDCORE PAWN: CHICAGO" stars Jeremy Jackson and Karl Bell were
busted for allegedly stealing from the shop and re-pawning the loot for gambling
money. Owners of Royal Pawn Shop noticed Rolex watches, jewelry and other
items disappearing from the store and became suspicious because the two always
had money for gambling even though Karl never seemed to win and Jeremy was
just a part-time employee. Police say the men stole more than $40,000 worth of
goods and only some of it has been recovered.
What does JAY LENO think about DAVID LETTERMAN’S retirement? Leno

should replace Dave, he said: "I don't know a lot of good people out there."

FOO FIGHTERS drummer TAYLOR HAWKINS’ side project, THE BIRDS OF
SATAN, will release their new self-titled album next week. In the meantime, for
those who can’t wait, the album is streaming on Soundcloud.
JACK WHITE has announced plans for a summer tour of the U.S. and Europe. The
tour begins May 29th in Tulsa.
Tonight’s installment of PBS’ Great Performances features the new documentary
"THE DAVE CLARK FIVE and Beyond -- Glad All Over." It includes vintage
footage and commentary by Bruce Springsteen, Tom Hanks, Paul McCartney,
Elton John, Kiss' Gene Simmons, Stevie Wonder, and more. It’ll also be released
on DVD later this year, with two hours of extras. Clark also hopes to release his

Perhaps MILEY CYRUS caught something from her new puppy because she came
down with a case of the flu and canceled last night’s Bangerz tour concert in
Charlotte a half hour before show time due to major "throat and sinus" issues.
RASCAL FLATTS have admitted they lip synced at the Academy of Country
Music Awards Sunday night and did a pretty bad job of it. However, they had a
good excuse. Their lead singer lost his voice last week after performing several
shows and instead of canceling at the last second they faked it. (See here)
JASON ALDEAN is finishing work on a new album that he plans to release this
fall. The first single should arrive in late June or early July.

THE WATERCOOLER…
Skywatchers will get a rare treat tonight as Mars, Earth and the sun will line up. It
happens every two years and it means that Mars will rise in the East near sunset
and remain visible all night long as it moves nearly overhead across the night sky.
It will be a bright burnt orange color and almost 10 times brighter than the
brightest stars in the sky. At their closest point next week, Mars and Earth will
"only" be about 57 million miles apart. It’ll be especially dazzling on April 14th,
when the full moon also will appear near Mars.
If you have Windows XP, as of today Microsoft will no longer provide you with
official support. That means they’ll no longer issue patches or system updates to
protect against viruses and other malware and if you run into any problems, you
won't be able to call Microsoft for technical help. It also means XP will become an
even bigger target for hackers. The scary thing is that nearly 75 percent of bank
ATMs run on XP. As for other businesses and individuals that don’t want to
upgrade, experts believe security attacks are inevitable. They say it’ll help if you
switch to the Google Chrome browser, but if you shop or do online banking with
your old Windows XP system you could be asking for trouble.
Hillary Clinton has gone viral after tweeting a photo of herself with two of the girls

Riot were jailed for several months for a profanity-laced song slamming Russian
President Vladimir Putin.

Louisiana Republican Congressman Vance McAllister, who campaigned on his
Christian family values, is now asking for “forgiveness” after a video surfaced
showing him kissing a female aide. The video taken by a surveillance camera at
McAllister’s office two days before Christmas shows him passionately embracing
and kissing one of his congressional aides for about 30 seconds. The staffer was
taken off the congressman’s payroll in the last 24 hours. McAllister previously
made news in January when he invited Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson to be his
guest for President Obama’s State of the Union Address.
Commitment-phobes in Japan can now certify their love without committing to
marriage or even engagement. Japanese couples can now have their affection
officially recognized by submitting government documents certifying their love for
each other in what are called love declaration forms. Couples fill in their names
and the time and place they met, assuming they remember. They can also write in
the places they want to go with their sweetheart, as well as the things they’d like to
say, or be told, by their significant other. A declining birthrate in the country has
been hurting the tax man and that’s forced lawmakers in the city of Nagareyama to
attempt to attract child-bearing couples to their town anyway they can, including
promoting the city’s use as a filming location for an upcoming romantic movie.
Officials say they hope the love declaration form will encourage young people to
express their romantic feelings and in turn increase their population base.

THE WATERCOOLER 3…
Twitter could be ruining your relationship! According to research published in the
journal "Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking," too much Twitter
could "lead to unfavorable relationship outcomes such as cheating, breakup, or
divorce." Participants in the study were asked how often they logged into Twitter,
how often they Tweet and if they ever emotionally cheated on their significant
other with someone they connected or reconnected with on Twitter. On average,
the participants said that they spent 52 minutes a day, five days a week on Twitter
and while the results found that both Twitter and Facebook use caused couples to
fight, Facebook didn’t affect long-term couples as much as Twitter.
Thanks to the Internet, our reading habits are taking a hit. For the most part when
we go online we just scan a page and look for something interesting and then skim
through the article. It turns out we’re getting so used to doing that, even when we
read a real book, we tend to start skimming. Cognitive neuroscientists are both
interested and alarmed by the trend. They say we seem to be developing digital
brains with new circuits for skimming through torrents of information and that’s
competing with traditional deep reading circuitry that our brains have developed
over several millennia. Book lovers and scientists have called for a “slow reading”
movement, much like the gourmet crowd’s “slow food” movement. However,
some fear there is no turning back and they encourage parents to read to their
children from books and help them learn to slow down and read.

Oklahoma State star Marcus Smart has decided to enter the NBA draft. Smart was

Joey Logano passed Jeff Gordon on the last lap to win the rain-delayed NASCAR
race at Texas Motor Speedway. Logano was cruising to an easy win when a final
caution flag flew with a lap and a half remaining to set up a green-white-checkered
finish. Kyle Busch, Brian Vickers and Kyle Larson rounded out the top five.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Dante Cunningham has been arrested for a
second time in three days because he sent threatening messages to a woman he was
living with that police say "rose to a terroristic level." Cunningham had already
been charged with felony domestic assault for allegedly choking her last week and
violated a restraining order by contacting her.
The NHL has suspended Philadelphia Flyers forward Zac Rinaldo for the final four

Noting that Major League Baseball is having trouble attracting young fans and that
teams are struggling with injuries, one unnamed high-ranking baseball executive
has suggested shortening the games to seven innings. Last year, a Wall Street
Journal study found that an average baseball game contains only about 18 minutes
of action and the executive believes games are played too slowly, and the younger
generation is turning away from baseball because of it.

DUH…
One of the keys to being a successful drug trafficker is to avoid detection by law
enforcement officers. Unfortunately for 23-year-old Bianca Dinora, she failed this
fundamental step when she was pulled over for a traffic violation on Interstate 40
near Amarillo, Texas. The officer found the more than 15 pounds of heroin in her
car, which was valued at $2.7 million, and she was arrested.
Lufkin, Texas’ 37-year-old Evelyn Hamilton called police to lodge a complaint.
When an officer arrived at Evelyn’s home she complained that the drug dealer she
recently purchased marijuana from refused to refund her money after selling her
substandard pot. When the officer asked Evelyn if she still had the weed in
question, she pulled a small amount of marijuana from her bra and was arrested.
Inspired by the 2010 Ben Affleck flick “The Town,” Akeem Monsalvatge was one
of three black men who paid $3,000 for Hollywood-grade masks to make them
look white before robbing a Queens check-cashing store. Akeem and his cohorts
were given the mandatory minimum sentence of 32 years and as he was about to be
led off to jail, he asked the judge if he got a last wish. Akeem said, “I feel like it’s
an execution. Do I get a last meal? Can I get a Patrón margarita?” Akeem will have
to wait 32 years for that drink.
Bob Ray Towry is facing up to 21 years in prison after a Florida jury found him
guilty of DUI on a fourth or subsequent offense, fleeing or attempting to elude a
law enforcement officer and resisting an officer without violence. The reason that
Bob Ray likely attempted to flee and resisted the cop is because it was more
subsequent than a fourth DUI offense. To be precise, Bob Ray was found guilty of
his 13th DUI and will now have his license permanently revoked. Between the
time of his 13th DUI and his subsequent trial, Bob Ray was also charged with his
14th DUI in Tennessee.

Britain’s 40-year-old Adam Cairney apparently drinks to forget. It seems Adam
was hauled into court on charges of stealing an $8 bottle of wine. Adam pleaded
guilty, telling the judge: "I can't remember doing it but I will plead guilty because
it sounds like something I would do. I know what I am like."
Vernon, New Jersey Seventh-grader Ethan Chaplin was minding his own business,
twirling a pencil in his math class when a student behind him yelled, "He's making
gun motions, send him to juvie." Of course, the teacher and the school responded
in a calm and rational manner by suspending Ethan pending the outcome of a
psychological evaluation. Ethan claims the other student had bullied him earlier in
the day, and was now trying to retaliate. Ethan’s father says, "I think it's gross
misconduct at its finest. They took something so minimal and took it so far over
the edge." Officials say school policy and the law requires them to investigate
when anyone in a school feels uncomfortable or threatened by another student.
Britain’s Neil Clulow went to the airport to catch an early morning flight from
Birmingham to Alicante, Spain. Unbeknownst to Neil, he actually had partner
Karen Clift’s passport and not his own. Despite the fact that Karen has long blond
hair and Neil is bald and bearded, the airline and airport security allowed him to
pass and board his flight. Even Neil failed to notice the mixup until he and his pals
were comparing passport pictures. Two senior airline officials met Neil when he
arrived back in Britain and quizzed him about the security breach and they
continue to investigate.
An unnamed Niles, Illinois teenage couple was recently enjoying an intimate
rendezvous. Unfortunately, the young lovers were interrupted by a 44-year-old
woman because they’d chosen to get busy on a chair in the lobby of her condo
building. When the woman yelled at the kids to stop what they were doing and
leave, the boy stood up and pushed the woman into the wall and told her, “But we
don’t have any place to have sex,” before they got dressed and fled the scene.
