Ok, not really. But check him out from the side in the first photo attached. Doesn’t that look like Will Wales? It’s obviously not Will Wales. This is Chet Haze. Or, rather, Chester Haze. Or, rather, Chester Hanks. The son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Now, apparently, a smooth operating rapper? Please. Full Story

Sandra Bullock and Usain Bolt were both at Mr Chow last night for dinner. Some people tried to suggest that it was a date. Apparently all they did was pose for a photo together inside.

Please. What did you expect? Even when she was PRESENTING AN OSCAR to Denzel Washington it was about her…I love my life!
