Remember him from 40 Year Old Virgin?

44 year-old actor Shelley Malil is best known for his bit part as one of Steve Carrel’s co-workers in the movie The 40 Year-Old Virgin. He was also on those Budweiser commercials as one of the “What are you doing?” guys and gets a lot of small parts in films playing Indian characters. Malil was arrested and taken into custody yesterday for allegedly stabbing his ex girlfriend over 20 times in her home in San Marcos, CA. He is said to have found another man at her house in the backyard, and her two children were thought to be home at the time. The victim is in critical condition in the hospital.

I’m not going to include the description of what happened to the victim. There are some disturbing details of the woman’s injuries that made me feel sick. If you want to read that part, it’s at the source, but warning on that link if you read the whole story.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said Shelley Malil, a resident of Sherman Oaks, was taken into custody at the Oceanside Amtrak station in connection with the attack around 6 p.m.

The sheriff’s department said the stabbing took place on Sunday just before 9 p.m. in the 1800 block of Shade Tree Drive in San Marcos. Officials said the attacker arrived at the his ex-girlfriend’s home and found her in the back yard with a man. Detectives said he grabbed a knife and began stabbing her repeatedly and then chased the victim through her home. Her male companion was also stabbed in the hand when he tried to intervene, authorities said.

A woman who lives nearby told NBC 7/39 she heard the victim screaming and that the attacker stabbed the woman as many as 20 times. The neighbor also said the victim was a mother with two children who were home at the time of the attack.

Shia to have amputation?

Doctors have told Shia LaBeouf they may have to amputate one of his injured fingers, Star has learned exclusively.

The young star, now working on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is likely to lose the pinky on his left hand, a source on the movie set says.

"Shia called producers yesterday and told them," the source on the set in Alamogordo, N.M. says. "It's really thrown the movie into turmoil."

Shia, 21, mangled his hand when his SUV rolled over twice in a July 27 accident in West Hollywood. He was cited for DUI although cops say they do not believe the accident was his fault.

A request for comment from Shia's rep was not answered at press time.

Miley's Dad to Jesse McCartney: Stay Away From My Daughter

Billy Ray Cyrus is one fiercely protective papa to his superstar offspring, Miley. That’s why he’s issued a stern command to the 15-year-old’s longtime crush, Jesse McCartney — don’t date my daughter! "There’s been serious flirting between them for a while, but Billy Ray won’t let them date," says a Cyrus family insider. "It’s driving Miley and Jesse crazy!" Billy Ray’s main concern is that at 21, pop star Jesse is six years older than the Disney princess. "And Jesse also thinks the fact that he’s been known to date a lot of young girls in Hollywood has gone against him with Miley’s dad," says a friend of the singer. So Jesse, who’s been linked to more age-appropriate stars, including Aubrey O’Day and Hilary Duff, has offered to go the extra mile for Miley. "Jesse’s told Billy Ray that he’s willing to start out by having a chaperone of his choice around," the pal adds. "But that’s not good enough for Billy Ray."

LOVE ON THE SLY
The would-be couple first clicked when Jesse played himself on Miley’s hit show, Hannah Montana, two years ago. The stars have managed to stay close ever since, despite Billy Ray’s disapproval. "They’re on the phone to each other all the time, and they text each other," says the friend. The duo’s favorite topic? Their own under-fire love! "They tell each other how crazy they are for each other," says the pal. "And how frustrating it is that they’re being kept apart!"

Going for the gold in gossip

Some Opening Ceremony fireworks were faked

If you watched the Opening Ceremony on Friday night, chances are you said something like, "no way that's possible" at least once. It turns out you were right.

London's Telegraph newspaper reports that some of the fireworks which appeared over Beijing during the television broadcast of the Olympic Opening Ceremony were actually computer generated. But -- hold on -- it's not necessarily as bad as you think.

The faked fireworks were actually set-off at the stadium, but because of potential dangers in filming the display live from a helicopter, viewers at home were shown a pre-recorded, computer-generated shot. It sounds dishonest, but I'm not sure it's such a terrible thing.

The Opening Ceremony is, at its core, just one big performance. And isn't it accepted that some things might not be legit at a performance? The final torch bearer wasn't actually running around the top of the stadium, does the fact that everyone could figure that out make it any less impressive? It might have been unnecessarily deceptive, but the firework-faking isn't really that big of a deal. But, if I found out that the lighted-drum thing wasn't on the up and up, then we'll have problems, China.

Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac Smiling on IsaacHayes.com: Sometimes the Internet Can Be Creepy

Visiting the official Isaac Hayes site right now is a fairly spooky thing. As of this moment (2:28 am on Monday, August 11), the site not only hasn't been edited to reflect ex-Chef's death, but just one click beyond the opening splash page defaults to a smiling pop-up photo of Hayes with Samuel Jackson and . . . Bernie Mac.

The group shot isn't completely random: Hayes appears as himself in the upcoming comedy Soul Men, which stars Mac and Jackson. But of course, the 50-year-old Mac died on Saturday due to complications from a pnuemonia, one day before Hayes was pronounced dead in Memphis. We are not superstitious crazies, but the visual is fairly jarring. Indubitably, moreso to Samuel Jackson.
