Justin Bieber was reportedly so sick at his Monday night show in the Philippines, that he took several breaks from the stage to take a vomit break. Before the show, Bieber took to Twitter letting fans now he was "Sick as a dog... But the show must go on."

Whatever you might think of Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, one certainly doesn't wish on him the kind of baloney he's getting from his family. The Situation's dad just released an amazingly bitter video accusing Mike of abandoning his family after getting famous. Frank Sorrentino posted a tirade online Tuesday targeting his son, saying, "I ask you one f**king favor and you tell me to go f**king be like a regular f**king Joe Blow and go on welfare? No, my friend, I don't do that." Another video was released in which Frank says that that Mike got fired from his last job after getting oral sex from a 40 year old woman in his office...but doesn't present any support for the allegation...

The cars that Leonardo DiCaprio will be driving around in on the set of "The Great Gatsby" will be the real deals.  The producers of the movie have dropped a ton of cash restoring two 1929 Duesenbergs and a 1929 Packard they bought from the Volo Auto Museum in Illinois.  The three cars are valued at anywhere from $800,000 to $3 million dollars each.  Fun Fact: 'The Great Gatsby' takes place during the summer of 1922 ... so, technically, these cars weren't even on the
roads yet... cool.

It appears that Maria Shriver has been thinking about divorcing Arnold Schwarzenneger for nearly two years.  She tells friends she felt ignored and unappreciated and complains about the former governor's out of control ego and his womanizing. Sources say the couple has spent "very little time together" for several years.  On the other hand, she wasn't around much in Sacramento while
Arnold was Governor. Once Maria moved into a fancy Beverly Hills hotel, Arnold's been "working extremely hard" to win her back.  As one source says, "He could not be sweeter now that she's left him."

The 13th season of "Big Brother" will debut on CBS will return on July 7th.  The show will once again air three days a week on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

CBS also announced the premiere of a new reality series called, "Same Name". In this show, celebrities will trade places for one week with someone who shares their name. The new series will debut on July 24th, forming a two-hour Sunday reality block with Big Brother.

"The Office" finale adds yet another big name: Warren Buffett The billionaire investor will interview for Michael Scott's job, appearing in the season finale with Jim Carrey, Ray Romano, James Spader, Catherine Tate, Will Arnett and Ricky Gervais.

Rod Stewart is returning to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for his first 18 concerts of his two-year Vegas residency.  The shows will kick off on August 24th, 2011. "Rod Stewart: The Hits" will be a concert featuring a set list of favorites spanning Stewart's 50 year long career. Tickets for the first 18 performances go on-sale Sunday, May 15 at 10am. Ticket prices run from $49 dollars to $250.00.

Fox has cancelled "The Chicago Code", "Human Target" "Lie To Me" and comedies "Traffic Light" and "Breaking In."


Charlie Chaplin's 1929 Pierce-Arrow is currently up for sale on eBay.  The Phaeton convertible, bought new at the time for $8,000 dollars is considered to be one of the most luxurious and ostentatious automobiles of the era.   The engine was one of the smoothest and most powerful at the time and had a completely separate compartment for the passengers so the occupants didn't have to associate with the lowly driver.  The car had been displayed in a museum in Southern California until it closed in 2005.  It then went into storage. There is an undisclosed reserve set on the auction, which ends May 15th.

Jessica is originally from Marietta, GA! I am probably one of the only real "Atlantans" left! I love Atlanta because there is always something going on, and it's just close enough to the beach to get away for a weekend.
