MacCaulay Culkin as we usually picture him 

I still can’t help seeing that little Home Alone kid every time I look at MacCaulay Culkin.

Yeah, he’s 31 now, but he’s managed to maintain that boyish look throughout his life. Or has he?

We haven’t see MacCaulay around much lately, not since he and Mila Kunis split up, but there are new photos of MacCaulay Culkin showing him looking incredibly thin, and not so boyish anymore. Despite his publicist insisting MacCaulay is healthy and happy, he looks almost anorexic in the new pics.

Check out ET’s photo showing him thin, pale and bearded HERE. (Is that an energy drink in his hand? Maybe he’s on the Demi Moore diet.)

Halle Berry wants to move to France and away from stalkers 

Halle Berry reportedly wants to move the hell out of Los Angeles and clear across the world to France with her daughter because she feels her life is in danger.

No, it’s not her baby daddy Gabriel Aubrey she’s worried about, it’s a deranged stalker who recently escaped from a mental institution. The stalker, Robert Hoskins, has threatened Halle with her life saying he is going to slit her throat. But not only is there Hoskins, there is another stalker who was recently released from prison – and we thought we were having a bad day.

Halle and Gabriel have been entwined in a nasty custody battle over their daughter Nahla, 3, and this will definitely affect the outcome of the case if the judge grants Halle’s request to move to France. Halle plans on moving in with her fiance Olivier Martinez and the couple are set to marry soon.

Halle Berry is allegedly also fearing for her daughter’s life claiming that Gabriel is putting her life in danger by having her out in the public eye constantly.

Sounds like she might have a good case.

 Hollywood’s most amicable exes, Katy Perry and Russell Brand

Katy Perry and Russell Brand should win an award for having one of the fastest and most amicable Hollywood divorce settlements of all time.

Brand officially filed the papers on December 30th, and fast forward just six weeks (minus a day or two), and the megastar couple have already reached a settlement. Talk about an express divorce! Considering the amount of money and assets they needed to split up, that’s amazing.

Anyway, on Tuesday, the friendly couple filed court documents that stated they “have entered into a comprehensive written settlement of all issues, including, without limitation, with respect to the property to be confirmed or assigned to each party.”

As we reported Wednesday, even though Brand was entitled to half of Perry’s fortune under California law, he chose not to receive spousal support, which is impressive, as she’s said to be worth somewhere around $70 million.

Apparently, Katy was so relieved, that when she signed the court documents, she included a heart and a smiley face. Ha! Let this be a lesson to all who divorce in the future…be nice to each other!

Lindsay and Dina Lohan, like mother, like daughter

No matter what anybody says about Linsday Lohan, you can’t deny her power to grab attention, whether it’s positive or negative, but arriving at 2012’s amfAR New York Gala on Wednesday, she did it again.

The actress(?) turned some heads as she walked the red carpet wearing a white Tom Ford dress, with her matching white-ish hair. Still sporting the platinum mop with bangs, Lohan proves she is still holding on to her Marilyn Monroe aspirations, yet failing miserably. She’s looking frighteningly similar to her mother Dina in the photos rather than her actual 25-year-old self.

Truthfully, I think Lindsay Lohan (minus the drugs and booze), has the potential to be gorgeous, because we’ve seen it before. Somewhere around 2004-2005, possibly the Mean Girls era, this is what we need to go back to. Doesn’t she have people (stylists perhaps?) to tell her this and help her achieve the look? That Playboy money might as well be used for something useful, because nose candy isn’t necessarily considered a sound investment. Am I wrong?

Troy Robertson, a.k.a. “Troyzan” 

As some of you might know, besides Celebrity Smack, I also work with Superpass and RealityNation.com doing live interviews with reality stars and writing about Survivor.

Lately I’ve been writing about the buzz surrounding season 24 of Survivor, including the new “One World” concept and castaways, over at Reality Nation. Those of you on the up-and-up with Survivor may have already heard about this season’s most buzzed about castaway, “Troyzan.” If not, familiarize yourself with him HERE.

Anyhow, I spoke with him recently and and he’s quite an interesting character! Head over to Reality Nation to read the exclusive interview, a MUST for Survivor fans!

Chi Cheng

It’s been nearly three and a half years since Deftones’ bassist Chi Cheng was in a horrible car crash which left him in a deep coma, but Wednesday, good news was made public to fans that the musician is finally showing signs of improvement.

Cheng has remained in a semi-conscious state since November 2008, when he and his sister were involved in near-fatal collision. The accident not only put him in critical condition, but also required him to endure life-threatening surgery. In the midst of it all, he also suffered a serious septicemia infection that, luckily, he was able to fight off.

According to the recent update, the bass player, who’s been with the Deftones since 1988, has begun responding to basic commands, can lift his legs when asked, and is now able to communicate with basic sounds.

Sadly, Cheng’s insurance coverage was cut off just months after his accident, but with the help, love, and support of his family, band and fan base, he’s been able to sustain his recovery. Numerous benefit concerts and the development of the website One Love for Chi (where people can donate and check on his progress), were crucial to it.

This news made my day. As an avid fan of the Deftones since the age of 14 (18 freakin’ years!), I have been following Chi’s recovery and am still praying for him.

See Chi’s improvement in the video after the cut, followed by the Deftones’ video for “Hexagram”, which I’m proud to say I was apart of back in 2003 (as an extra, but hey, I was super pumped!).
