Terrence Howard Wants Silence

Terrence Howard just released a new cd called Shining Through. So last week Terrence performed some of his songs at 'The Beat of Chic', presented by Bloomingdale's and Vanity Fair, on the lower level of Bloomingdale's 59th Street flagship store in NY for special invited guests. Anyway, according to one of my e-pals, there were two chicks in the front row who talked all the way through two of Terrence's songs. Why did they do that? They say Terrence stopped his set, got off the stage, walked into the audience and was like, "Obviously you two are talking about something that's more important than my music. Why don't you share it!?" and shoved the mic in their faces. The ladies went silent and Terrence went back up on stage to continue his set.

Gary Coleman Runs Over Fan

Saturday night Gary Coleman and his wife were at a Utah bowling alley when a 'fan' asked if he could take a picture of Gary with his cellphone. Gary, who pleaded no-contest to punching a female fan in the face who'd bugged him for an autograph in 1999, refused. The guy took the pictures anyway and things turned ugly. After arguing inside the bowling alley, the dude followed Gary and his wife outside and according to Gary's people, jumped behind Gary's truck as he was backing out of his parking space. The cops were called, but neither man was issued a citation and police said it wasn't clear whether Coleman ran into the dude on purpose or not. "We're currently trying to sort through those issues," police Lt. Bill Wright told the Deseret News of Salt Lake City.
