Michael Bay: Kate Beckinsale and I Are Fine, I"m Not A Bad Guy!

Kate Beckinsale told a rather amusing story on The Graham Norton Show, but one person did not find it funny.

Director Michael Bay defended himself on June 1st against story after story that pegged him as a misogynist, having allegedly told Kate Beckinsale to keep it right and tight for 2001’s Pearl Harbor.

“I think he was baffled by me because my boobs weren’t bigger than my head and I wasn’t blonde,” Beckinsale joked on the May 27th episode, alluding to rumors that Bay is somewhat of a sexist.

“I’d just had my daughter and had lost weight, but I was told that if I got the part, I’d have to work out. And I just didn’t understand why a 1940s nurse would do that.”

Not so, Bay pointed out, blaming reporters for allegedly twisting the story to make him look like the bad guy.

“Really?” he wrote on his blog.  “This poster [below] has hung proudly over my desk for 15 years.”

“Yesterday I read in the press that I don’t think Kate Beckinsale is ‘a stunning beauty,’ huh? And they went on to suggest that Kate and I don’t like each other?

“Well, totally untrue,” he wrote.

“Kate and I are friendly. She is a fantastic actress, very funny, witty lady, sassy, speaks her mind, and I truly respect her. That’s why she has come to so many of my Christmas parties and Birthday parties.

“This so called ‘problem of us not liking each other’ was reported by a tabloid-esque reporter after Kate appeared on an edgy English talk show, speaking about our meeting 16 years ago while casting Pearl Harbor.

“The reporter made her story into some scandalous confrontation, when it was nothing of the sort,” the blockbuster director claimed.

“Spoke to Kate today and she felt she told a funny story. “

FYI, Bay said, most leads in action movies require a trainer for stunts, etc.

“So I guess I was the ‘bad guy’ 16 years ago for suggesting a trainer because she just had her new beautiful baby girl—and she was about to enter into an intensive action movie.

“Note to reporters: 95 % of leads in movies have trainers and drink green juice!”

Is Bay misunderstood?  Or is Beckinsale’s example of his treatment of women pretty spot-on?

Tyga Thinks He Has a Great Idea for a Reality Show

You can take Tyga out of the reality star.

But you can’t take the desire to be a reality star out of Tyga.

A few weeks after splitting from Kylie Jenner, the not very successful rapper is reportedly pitching networks on a series centered around his life.

According to Life & Style, he even has a name for the impending series: Tyga’s Den.

That’s not bad, actually. Especially in light of E!’s lame decision to title the upcoming Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna series “Rob & Chyna.”

Those who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online have caught appearances by Tyga here and there over the two years he dated Jenner.

And an insider tells the aforementioned tabloid that the artist grew accustomed to those paychecks.

How is he trying to sell networks on cutting him a big one for his very own program?

“He’s promising potential appearances by Scott Disick and Lamar Odom,” a source claims.

As you might expect, members of the Kardashian family are “absolutely furious” over the prospect of three three men – all of whom have had sex with Kardashian/Jenner sisters – appearing on the same show together.

But “Tyga’s no dummy,” Life & Style writes.

“He knows having other Kardashian exes like Scott and Lamar on his show will bring in viewers.”

He’s correct, of course. And this actually could become an interesting idea.

Who out there would NOT tune in for a series centered on the men whose lives have been ruined by the Kardashians?

We could throw James Harden into the mix as well. We all know he isn’t busy getting into shape for the next NBA season.

The guy probably has plenty of free time on his plate.

Middle School Teacher Gets Pregnant by Student, Arrested

A middle school teacher in Houston has surrendered to authorities due to accusations that she carried on a sexual relationship with a 13-year old student.

According to The New York Post, Alexandria Vera also got impregnated by the student.

Oops! Her bad!

Vera, 24, was booked on charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child and released on $ 100,000 bail, one day after local police officers issued a warrant for the English teacher’s arrest.

A local ABC affiliate reports that Vera was working at Stovall Middle School last summer when she met the unnamed young teenager.

Vera told investigators that the boy asked for her numbers over Instagram one day and, from there, the two fell in love.

The day after this simple request was made, Vera says she drove to the boy’s house when his parents weren’t home and the two had sexual intercourse for the first time.

Their inappropriate flirting continued throughout the school year, as students took note of the two engaging in romantic behavior in between classes.

“He, like, grabbed her butt and everyone saw it,” one student told ABC. “And then they were talking about it.”

We’ll go ahead and say what you are all thinking: EWWWWW!

Vera became pregnant with the boy’s baby in January, legal documents allege.

The student’s family was actually supportive of the couple and even included the teacher at family gatherings … until Child Protective Services questioned the pair.

Vera then aborted pregnancy, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Vera has a four-year old daughter from a previous relationship.

The Aldine Independent School District placed the teacher on administrative leave in April once details of her affair started making the rounds.
