Zach Galifianakis skips Sugarloaf Mountain press conference over fear of heights

THE HANGOVER star ZACH GALIFIANAKIS pulled out of a press conference in Brazil after he found out the event would take place at a venue on the ascent to the country's famous Sugarloaf Mountain.

The funnyman was due to join his castmates, including Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms, for a junket to promote the third installment in the comedy franchise in Rio de Janeiro this week (beg27May13).

However, Galifianakis decided to skip the event after he found out the Morro da Urca site, where the press conference was held, is 220 metres (722 feet) above ground on the ascent to Sugarloaf Mountain and can only be reached by cable car.

And therein lies the problem: Gomez is 20, Smith is... 14. Does Gomez not have any friends her own age? She just starred in Spring Breakers — why doesn't she call fellow former Disney diva Vanessa Hudgens? They can reminisce about the good old days of family-friendly programming.

TUPAC IS ALIVE

 

PBS is reporting that Tupac Shakur was sighted and photographed having drinks at a bar in Snug, Tasmania. Soon thereafter the internet was ablaze with speculation if this was real and Tupac was really alive.

Tupac Shakur was allegedly gunned down September 7th 1996 after leaving a boxing match. However reporters have discovered that Tupac actually survived the shooting, but he and record label executives paid off medical examiners to claim he had died.
