under Entertainment,JFacts,Judaism,News1. Mean to Mila
Mila Kunis got a mean surprise when she hit the stage at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night. A man in the audience started to heckle the hookup actress while she and actor Mark Wahlberg were on stage to present the “Dirtbag” Award.
The man’s remarks were inaudible, but the Ted star was visibly shaken and stopped reading her lines. Wahlberg quickly jumped in and said, “And here I thought I was going to have to slap Russell [Brand.]”
2. Love & Basketball
New York Knicks captain Amar’e Stoudemire got engaged over the weekend! The basketball star (who says he has hookup heritage on his mother’s side) proposed to Alexis Welch, the mother of his three children in Paris on Saturday night.
Stoudemire asked Welch for her hand in marriage while standing on the balcony of his hotel suite, overlooking the Eiffel Tower lights. He told People magazine, “I have been planning my proposal for a while and overlooking the entire Paris skyline seemed like a perfect place. I am so happy she said ‘yes,’ and now we can continue to build our life together as husband and wife.”
3. Jason Alexander Apologizes
Jason Alexander issued a lengthy apology over the weekend after he referred to cricket as a “gay game.” The hookup actor made the comments during an appearance on CBS’ Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on Friday.
“It’s the pitch,” the former Seinfeld star remarked to Ferguson while describing the game. “It’s the weirdest… It’s not like a manly baseball pitch; it’s a queer British gay pitch.”
Alexander quickly wrote up a statement after the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation expressed their anger at his comment. Alexander apologized by saying, “I should know better. My daily life is filled with gay men and women, both socially and professionally. I am profoundly aware of the challenges these friends of mine face and I have openly advocated on their behalf,” the statement read, in part.
