Rumors have circulated Hollywood for some time that Zac is gay and wishes to come out of the closet about it, but is allegedly pressured by his PR peeps to keep it on the down low until he's older.
Whatever the case may be ... 'tis unfortunate that we just can't collectively transcend limited paradigms that seek to restrict our inherent, cosmic freedom to simply and truly be ourselves -- just sayin'.
In yet another violent episode between apparently intoxicated parties enjoying Hollywood nightlife, a bloody battle between four people results in one dude getting his nose broken ... and the perpetrators arrested on the scene.
Hey, kids -- listen: we've said it before and we'll say it again: Ego + Alcohol = Violence. If you choose to brave the scene, drink responsibly. If you can't intoxicate yourself responsibly, then perhaps you shouldn't drink.

When confronted with the news at the Roosevelt that David Beckham and Spice Woman Victoria Beckham are bringing even more offspring into the world, Pineapple Express actor Seth Rogen is apparently flabbergasted, as he has absolutely nothing to say.

Departing My Studio with his wannabe gangsta entourage, convicted felon Chris Brown demonstrates for us, once again, that he requires additional anger management classes, as well as some more general character evolution.
Asked by a paparazzi about his recent altercation with Raz B, after which Chris allegedly sent his bodyguards after the star instead of dealing with his issues himself, Brown actually strikes the paparazzo's camera. Hey, don't you realize you're on probation, fool? Wanna go back to the slammer? Moments later, one of his groupies threatens to break another photographer's camera.
Another pap asks what his beef is with Raz-B, and Brown blabbers out, "Y'all niggaz are queenies," prompting yet another photographer to question if Brown also harbors issues with the gay community.
We're not sure, but if girlfriend winds up violently attacking someone else (maybe a victim who's not a girl, this time?), we won't be surprised.

Beaming in at the Staples Center to catch the Lakers Games is Star Trek Captain Chris Pine of the Federation starship, Enterprise 1701.

Someone from whom anger-challenged Chris Brown could take a lesson in coolness is none other than legendary hip hop producer, Dr. Dre ... shown here arriving at the Staples Center for the L.A. Lakers game.

Chris Brown: take a lesson, son.
