Did you think I forgot? Nope. Today for your enjoyment you have Eric Dane, Stephen Dorff, and Josh Duhamel. Unfortunately no real videos today because X-Tube is cracking down on the celebrity porn. Click here for all that you love. As always it is totally NSFW unless you work in a porn shop, Vivid, or for a Congressman.
I don't really have any comment on the Eva Mendes rehab situation except for the fact that I am glad she is getting the help she needs.
Full Frontal Friday will be later this afternoon. Have some very special things (no pun intended) for you to enjoy.
While going through the entire blog last week looking at old blind items, I noticed that there are approximately 5,000 photos that I have posted. Blogger and Picasa have made it possible for me to show these photos in a slideshow format over on the right side of the blog. The problem is they are in groups of 500. So, over the next ten weeks I will put a different group of 500 over there. It isn't an ad, and if you click on it, it will take you to the entire 500 photos in all of their hugeness. The first group I put up there is from April and May of last year. It includes the infamous pool photo. There are no NSFW images in the group so feel free to enjoy.
#1 This B list maybe C list now primarily television actor was mainly famous for who he was with rather than his acting talent. Although publicly straight and with definite heterosexual relationships in his past, it is odd now to see that he is more than willing to play the casting couch game with male producers if it will get him a part. It seems to be working.
#2 Another B list actor, this time a former television actor who only works in films now. He is B list by virtue of his work, but definitely does not have the name recognition of #1. You would recognize our actor, but would be hard pressed to come up with his name. His recent marriage ended in a quick divorce because of domestic abuse. Never hit his wife until after they were married. No signs at all until after the wedding. After he got done beating her for the third time she decided to leave. Now for fun he is trying to work his way through every woman he can find in LA.
#3 For this one we are going to have to go to the other side of the world. Not to India this time, but to Australia. There was already the infamous sex tape or not of Kate Ritchie. I don't think anyone can really tell who that is in that video. This time though there can be no doubt as to the identity of the actress. No, not Kate Ritchie again, but instead a sex tape featuring a different female Logie nominee.
#4 Although she has been an actress for what seems like forever, our aging, still very attractive B list/C list everything actress made her fame and fortune from one television role. Seems as if she and her 17 year old neighbor have a hot little thing going on. Luckily for her, the age of consent in her state is 17. But what if this all started when he was 16?
If you have ever wanted to know what Jenna Fischer is like as a person, this photo says it all.
Although she is not sporting a smile, I think we all know how kind Eliza Dushku can be, so I'll let it pass this time.
Looky, looky. Although she does seem to be saying, "don't get too close."
Molly Sims back on the runway for a good cause.
Wow, it must be Friday because I am actually going to type the words that Jessica Alba looks good.
Even Heidi Klum got back on the runway, and looks amazing as usual.
This shirt is so sheer, I can almost guess what sex the baby is.
I wasn't going to post this photo of Gwyneth Paltrow because it really isn't all that great, but then I saw her leg. Look at how skinny this woman is. Her legs are like twigs.
Rufus Wainwright in Melbourne.
Rosario Dawson looks so much better now that she doesn't always have to be with Rose McGowan in every photo.
Nicole Kidman has the baby of baby bumps.
Liza. Kind of says it all. She is one of the first people who you could just say the first name and everyone would know who you were referring to. She looks fabulous. Did I ever tell you the one about how I accidentally had her credit card for like a week? We were eating at the same place and the waiters switched cards. Neither of us noticed. When I think about it now, I am more shocked that she actually had to pay for a meal. Liza should never have to pay.
I am not a big fan of posting celebrity kids unless they are with the celebrity and then only rarely unless it is Suri, but I think one post of Michael Jackson's children is newsworthy. Do they even look like him? He did donate the sperm right?
Over at Defamer they got their hands on the letter above sent to US Weekly from Kirstie Alley's lawyers. It seems that Ms. Alley's attorneys took exception to a one line joke that was written in the magazine when Nicole Kidman wore that awful silver pants number. You can click on the Defamer link above and then scroll down to see the photo and comment.
The attorney who wrote the letter makes some good points, but the fact is they are not accurate. The first problem I have is that he immediately throws out the race card. What do Scientology and race have to do with each other? I thought the fact that he even raised that issue is noteworthy in itself.
The second problem I have is that he compares Scientology to the big three religions. I think that most people don't think of Scientology as a religion, but rather more like a lodge like the Elks or some secret society. I don't need a bunch of Elks members e-mailing me. It is just the first thing that came out of my head. It can be the lodge in the Flinstones for all I care.
Here is what galls me the most about the letter. Wow, I used gall in a sentence. That word a day thing is paying off. The last two paragraphs are accusing US Weekly of being narrow minded. Has this guy seen the Tom Cruise video? Has he listened to the attacks leveled against everyone else in the world who is not a Scientologist? Against people who have a different set of beliefs? If Tom Cruise is the #2 at Scientology then it must also follow that his views represent the view of the "church" itself. Therefore it would follow that Kirstie Alley has those same beliefs and I think it is fair to return fire with the same amount of criticism.
I didn't see the Scientology lawyers rushing to apologize for anything Tom Cruise said. All they did was try and get the offending comments out of the public eye. I didn't see them "discharge" Tom Cruise from the church for what he said. Maybe they need to look at themselves before they look at others.
Farrah Fawcett is going to be 60 tomorrow. I thought instead of my birthday wishes letter, I would instead pass along my best wishes. I adore Farrah Fawcett and I don't use the word adore very often. Tomorrow this cultural icon will be 60, and honestly I don't think she is going to make it to 61. Oh, she will try and she is a fighter like no other, but I really wanted to take a second and say I can't believe this woman is 60. She is funny and intelligent. She is ditzy and determined. She makes mistakes like all of us, but unlike all of us she tries to correct her mistakes and to never make them again. She was a star and a celebrity when it actually meant something. To me she was almost the last big star. She was everywhere and on everything. When the 80's came along it ushered in a new wave of celebrity and tabloid that has only intensified with the internet. I would wager that almost every guy on the planet of a certain age has seen that poster which is the fifth photo in this lineup.
She has lived a life that has been incredible and has stories to match. She is one of maybe five celebrities I was actually excited to meet, and she lived up to my expectations then, and has ever since. She is currently getting a variety a of experimental treatments outside the US for a cancer that was supposed to be gone but has now returned. I wish her the very best. I do hope she enjoys this birthday, and realizes how much joy she has brought the world. Below are some photos and then her interview with Letterman. All three parts of it. She stayed on almost 20 minutes.
Which celeb is way over the Primrose Hill, but keeps lying about her age?
She's becoming the laughing stock of the whole gang.
Although I would prefer to see the fight between Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightly settled between them in a pool full of pudding, it doesn't look like it is going to happen that way. Well, there is always my imagination. Apparently they are making the film Wuthering Heights because there is a great deal of demand for mid 19th century literature being turned into films, and they have pretty much beaten the crap and ringed any possible story out of any Jane Austen book or idea or thought she ever conceived. This of course compares to the 15 versions of Wuthering Heights that have been released since film was invented. Hell that is only like once every 6 or 7 years. How many times can you make the same film? Come on. Have some imagination. Does a producer go in and pitch Wuthering Heights and say, "Its been 5 years. Time for another one. It's only going to cost you $40-50M." At least with the Jane Austen books they used their imagination and came up with different versions of her books.
Anyway, Lindsay and Keira are the two finalists for the role of Catherine Earnshaw. The director of the film is John Maybury who cast Lindsay in the Dylan Thomas biopic The Edge Of Love, but Lindsay dropped out. It seems as if he is willing to give her a second chance. This is something that Lindsay could really use. A real movie that will be seen by everyone and if done well will receive lots of nominations. Throw on a corset and speak in an accent from a different century and the awards just come rolling in.
The problem is that the British public is firmly against Lindsay starring in the film. A recent poll said that only British actresses should portray the part. When asked why this was the case, Maybury told the Daily Mail, "It can be slightly annoying having American actresses in British parts. They may be able to do brilliant British accents but that can be off putting if their accent is too perfect."
Well then it seems to me that your job as a director would be to make it so her accent isn't perfect. The producers aren't paying you just to sit around and bark at people. I think the idea of a director is to direct the actors, and it seems to me that direction would include whether or not an accent is good or not as well as directing your staff that you only want non-fat soy in your latte.
Have you been following the Cheryl Tweedy story over in the UK? In case you haven't, here is the deal. Cheryl is in the group Girls Aloud. Think Pussycat Dolls, but these women can actually sing. So, she is married to Ashly Cole. Think David Beckham-lite. Ashley is a soccer player for Chelsea and England as well.
So last week a story came out that said Ashley had cheated on his wife with a woman named Aimee Walton. He apparently got her pregnant and offered her money to get an abortion. When Cheryl heard about this, she said publicly she would stay with her husband anyway and that they would then work things out.
Right after she said that, a model named Brooke Healy said she also had slept with Ashley. Now, even with all of this in front of her Cheryl still has not decided what she is going to do about the situation. The only thing she has done is move out. She says she still needs time to decide.
The thing is this. I am sure you have all been in a similar situation or know someone who has. It is very trying and very hard, but can you imagine if you had to deal with it while the entire population of a nation was watching your every move and will criticize you no matter whether you decide to stay with your husband or leave him.
Every article I have read focuses on if Cheryl has made a decision. None of them seem to really focus on the fact that Ashley was a jackass and that he was even when he came over to LA for that friendly last year. So my question is what would you do in this situation? All the female celebrities in the UK have given their opinion whether it was solicited or not, so I thought you should be given your chance as well.
During an interview with Jonathon Ross on BBC One, Naveen Andrews who plays Sayid on Lost, admitted that he has no plans to leave the show. This is probably because he is getting paid really well, and there is this little thing called a contract that kind of precludes him from just walking away. He says that he loved the first season but thinks the show has pretty much sucked since then. "The writing has been poor but I’m definitely doing two more years.”
I think that after those comments the writers might find that Naveen is doing his two years as a ghost, because you don't piss off the writers like that. I will give the guy credit for being honest and candid. In the interview he also talked about how his heroin habit used to be so bad that when he was filming The English Patient he would be shooting up so often that he could only manage to function enough to just do his scene. As soon as his scene was shot he would collapse until the next scene.
Those kind of things are gold because honestly I didn't see The English Patient and had no desire to ever see it, but now might watch for his scenes just to see if I can tell how f**ked up he is.
Back in August of 2000, Vanity Fair put Heath Ledger on their cover and had an in-depth interview with him. At the time, he was filming A Knight's Tale in Prague.
Here is the introduction to the article. If you would like to read the very lengthy interview, click here.
Über-Cool Unzipped is a feted filmmaker, romancer and Hollywood figure whose film finesse, more often than not, figures out how to please the critics and crowds alike—not to mention the college set. Way to score every demographic, dude! Now, don’t you know, just to keep it cute ‘n’ collegiatelike, Über likes to spend the successful movie weekends of his trademark flicks (not to mention other, less celebratory windows of horny opportunity) not by sipping a champagne flute with the Hollywood elite, but by throwing back a plethora of red plastic cups at a mostly frosh beer bash or three.
This is how our guy unwinds when off set. Although, for the tautly toned and well-bosomed record, Ü.C. always seems to surround himself with a like-minded staff. Appropriately, Mr. Ü knows his way around one California campus in particular—he’s been patrolling the hallways there for quite some time. Jeez, who needs H-town patting you on the back when you can pat the backs of two 18-year-old students in a ménage à trois? And myriad other such barely legal, delicious, salacious delights!
In fact, Unzipped’s so supersuave (and still rather semistudly) no one seems to mind his taste in ingenue gentlemen.
#1 This aging, but not old, former Academy Award nominated actor and serious award winner who has been known to do theatre left his wife to be with his girlfriend. No big deal, but it is when he broke up with the girlfriend to be with her daughter. He now lives with the daughter of the girlfriend and has done so on the sly for sometime. It does make sense in a way.
#2 This current Academy Award nominated actress/supporting actress is cheating on her significant other. If she wins will she thank them both? Not Ruby Dee.
I think someone who reads and comments on the blog almost everyday gets top spot. Schneefloeckli took a bunch of photos of Linkin Park last week in Basel. Yes, she had lots of photos which were in focus, but for some reason I really liked this photo. I don't know if it was an accident or not, but I really like it.
You can probably tell that it was a little windy yesterday in LA. Still doesn't excuse Kate Hudson's dress though.
Now that Christina Aguilera has reduced her lipstick volume, Hayden Panettiere does her best to keep lipstick makers employed.
I think Chace Crawford is wearing everything that Old Navy sells all at one time.
Ummmm. Sandra Bernhard.
Rihanna does her part as the spokesperson for Fashion against AIDS.
Nine Black Alps last night in Manchester.
I think this having a girlfriend and becoming a dad is really a good thing for Matthew McConaughey. He actually looks really good. Did he actually get a hair cut? Camilla Alves is a miracle worker I tell you. Next thing you know there won't be anymore naked bongo playing and Frank The Tank will be married and there won't be anymore streaking at the Quad.
Theo. It kind of sucks for Malcolm Jamal Warner that even though he had a really successful show after Cosby, that he will always and forever be remembered for being Theo. Even if he goes out and kills 20 people, the first line will mention he was Theo.
It has been awhile, if ever since I had Todd Oldham on here, so I thought I would give everyone a look at him. Lots of NY Fashion Week posts next week.
Susan Sarandon and her daughter Eva Amurri. You know that I am not a big fan of Eva, and am less so now that she is calling herself an actress and director. What the hell has she directed?
Sean Lennon looks more and more like his dad everyday.
Gerard Depardieu goes in for a look at Sophia Loren's cleavage.
A really close look.
The difference a week can make...
I really loved reading your responses to my question. Sad that some of you were having tough weeks but you can learn so much about people by their responses. Who's charming and who's not. Who's a trouble maker and who's a peacemaker. And it makes me wonder how much of who you are in your online life is who you are in your real life. Are your comments a true reflection of who you are or who you wish you were? Are you really a quick witted, clever, malicous person in real life or shy quiet guy who always comes up with the perfect response 5 minutes too late? And
whoever is making peace, do you do that in real life? Do you often find yourself minimizing your emotions to end a fight faster or find yourself in the middle of two extremely emotional people that you are always trying to calm? Or is it the opposite, do you start the fights?
I'm not asking because I'm probing or trying to be all deep. It just occured to me, while reading your comments, that blogging, online chats, comments are not that different from the acting profession. They are a side of you that you wish you could show in your real life but are afraid to.
Alison Janney, almost always plays characters who are brash, or low class, or superficial. In real life however, she's the sweetest most geniune person. Lisa Kudrow made a career of playing a ditz but in real life she's really bright. And so on. I mean it's not always true. Some people just aren't acting. I mean Eva L plays a self centered bitch on DH and many reports so far have confirmed that. I haven't met her personally but I trust the people I've heard it from.
My best characters that I play are ditzy (I'm smart but I can be a dingbat at times), and tough ass kicking types (I'm a peacemaker in actuality). I also get cast as bitches (Again a peacemaker). And MAN I wish I was all of that more in my life. I'd love to turn my brain off and get taken care of for a while. I'd love to tell a few people just what I thought of them! And while I didn't love the movie, there's a scene in Domino when Ian Z is giving Domino a hard time about being a scared little girl with daddy issues and she just turns to him and punches him in the nose. Breaks it. MAN I WISH I COULD DO THAT! I guess with my training I could do that. So what I mean is "Man, I wish I WOULD do that!!!"
As for my week.. more exciting promises and more waiting for them to be real. Had a meeting with Paul Rudd and Brad Pitt's manager. They might be interested in repping me. Which would be CRAZY cool! But they need to see what the strike is doing before they take anyone on.
Still no word on Gentleman Bronco's. Think it's going to be a while on that.
Still no word on the Ad Campaign. They are still auditioning people for all the roles (including the one I want).
Ran into the lead actor in a pilot I did stunts for at Vons (grocery store). I talked to him for a while. He's so nice. But found out that the pilot will not be picked up. So that's a bummer.
And I'm going to Pauly Shore's birthday party tonight. So that'll be an experience!
Which British actress, who recently went on TV to declare her love for her fiance, is unaware that he is cheating on her left, right and centre?
Even though no one asked him, Hulk Hogan found someone yesterday who would listen to him rant about who he wanted to be President. I'm guessing Hulk picked Obama because Obama wears his seatbelt and doesn't complain about being crippled for life or some other kind of trivial thing like that.
Not much of a story, but it allows me to get to my point. I get 20-30 e-mails a day from people who want me to remind people to go to a rally or an event for one candidate or the other, but the thing is I really don't do politics. I don't want you to think that I am ignoring you if I don't write you back, but I just tire of saying the same thing repeatedly in an e-mail so figured this would cover it. This is gossip and fun and not about politics. The only thing that is important to me is that you actually get out and vote. I honestly don't care who you vote for. Democrat, Republican, Green, whatever. It really doesn't matter to me. What is important though is that no matter what country you are reading this blog from, that you exercise the privilege of voting. In the US, barely 50% of eligible voters actually take the time to vote in a Presidential Election. In many countries the number of people who vote is in the upper 90% range.
In the US, we have grown so used to only half the people voting that if everyone decided to show up and vote, the entire system would collapse. Our apathy as a voting public is taken into account and there are only enough machines and workers, and supplies for a 50% turnout. How sad is that? The government knows you don't care about what happens in this country. Oh, you might speak up or bitch or whine, but they know you won't actually go out, wait in line and vote. They are so confident that you won't go out an exercise your vote that they don't have any way for you to vote if you do show up.
100% turnout would excite me and I think it would excite the country. People would truly know who they wanted as their leader. Right now we are just letting the 50% of the people who are willing to make the effort decide, and letting 100% of the people bitch and moan about the result.
If 100% of the eligible voters voted, I think there would be more unity in the country, because it would show that everyone wanted to have a stake in its future and actually took the time to make that clear.
Seriously this was just going to be another rant about Hulk Hogan and what an ass he is. I thought about telling everyone not to watch American Gladiators but figured if it becomes even more popular and Hogan makes a bunch of money off of it, then that is more money that John can get when he sues the family.
South Korean actress Ok So-Ri was indicted this month for cheating on her producer husband back in 2006. In South Korea it is illegal for a married person to have an affair. The person that Ok So-Ri was cheating with won't be charged, not because he is a man, but because he was not married and so it is perfectly fine for him to have an affair.
Although the law has been on the books forever, the cheated upon rarely ever file a criminal complaint because, lets face it, it is a stupid law, and if the government enforced it half of any country, not just South Korea would be in jail. The actress faces two years in jail for her side action.
Ok So-Ri is appealing the actual indictment and filed a petition with the government to scrap the law. In a statement about the appeal, her lawyers had this to say. "The adultery law constitutes a serious breach of the individual's rights to make decisions concerning sex and privacy under the constitution. "Adultery cases must be handled in civil courts, not in criminal courts."
I personally think they just need to get rid of any mention of adultery and go straight to the irreconcilable differences route. This is the fourth time in the last 20 years, but first since 2001 that the law has been challenged. Each time in the past, the Korean Supreme Court refused to hear any of the cases because it would weaken social morality.
What I think weakens social morality is that the guy who who was 50% responsible in this gets away with it because he was single. In fact, he would also get away with it if his wife did not file a criminal complaint. A law that is not equally enforced is a law that should never be enforced.
Two weeks after the National Enquirer brought forth a totally unreliable witness to corroborate the long held rumor that the father of Suri Cruise is Chris Klein, her reps have denied the story as "false." Wow. It took them two weeks to come up with that? I guess you can tell they must generally must be spokespeople for Tom Cruise and for the Scientology folks. For the past two weeks they have been a bit busy repairing the earthquake like damage their number two has caused to Scientology throughout the world. Tom has been trying to hold onto power while Leah Remini and Nancy Cartwright nip at his heels, and John Travolta cackles to himself while adjusting his wig, and waiting for Tom to fall.
So, when Katie duck walks in to the room and says, "The Enquirer thinks Suri is Chris' baby. What are we going to do?" she was probably ignored. Ignore and ignored, until finally some guy made a call to MSNBC and said the story is false.
Meanwhile no one from the folks over at Scientology has denied the whole L. Ron story yet. They have evaded it, and gone around it, and lumped it in with other accusations made in the book, but no one has said that Suri is definitively not L. Ron's baby. The thing is that Tom and the Scientology folks better have Suri completely within their fold at all times for the rest of her life. Because, if she does decide they are nutjobs, all she has to do to make millions and millions of dollars is to agree to a DNA test on live television. All three networks. It would be like a Presidential address. Wouldn't you watch it? I know it would make for some damn good television. I wonder how long they could tease it. An hour long show or could they drag it into a three hour biography with a little countdown clock in the corner.
If I cut my hair and people came up to me thinking I was Tom Cruise, those people would walk away from me thinking Tom Cruise is crazier than he actually is. He does seem really crazy doesn't he? Do you ever worry though that maybe he knows everything and that he is totally right and that we are the crazy ones? Maybe there were volcanoes and aliens and psychology is destroying the world. I need something more simple to think about. Like Selma Blair. Who, according to the latest issue of Elle magazine gets frequently stopped by people who think she is Tom Cruise.
I know we all want Tom Cruise to be walking down the street wearing a purse, and high heels and the occasional skirt, but wanting it to be so and the reality of it happening are slim for now. So, I worry about people when they see Selma Blair and think she is Tom Cruise. Then I saw the photo above, and stopped worrying for them, and wonder how many people I have tapped on the shoulder thinking they were a woman, but were really a man, or if that woman with the big adam's apple was really a woman, and if I go back to sleep can I forget about the whole crazy night.
Selma says it happens when people come up from behind her because her hair is shorter in the back and she struts around a little like Napoleon. Since it has begun to happen she does wear more high heels now, but apparently that still doesn't stop the taps on the shoulders.
Well if one of those people is an old, wealthy investment banker, she will dress up like Tom Cruise if that is what they want. Seems as if Selma is done with the hippie and hippie offspring thing and instead wants to find some retired investment banker, preferably from Europe, and obviously with a strong Tom Cruise fetish to fill.
Mo'nique is being accused of being a regular user of marijuana and cocaine, as well as dealing cocaine and evading her taxes. The accusations are made by an ex-boyfriend and detailed in this week's National Enquirer. That is what I love about the Enquirer. No matter the list you are on whether it be A-D, if they find something good, they are all over it.
I actually think this story is more interesting than whether Heath Ledger used cocaine at a party two years ago. Who gives a crap whether he did or not. It was two years ago, after he got crushed at the SAGs, and he was having some alone time for the first time in 3 months.
So back to Mo'nique. Her ex-boyfriend is Marvin Dawson who she broke up with way back in 2003. She broke up with him because of his criminal record that included theft, gun and drug possession charges. Why? Because she didn't know, or because he was ruining her little party?
Dawson says Mo'nique is a big hypocrite and that she is guilty of far more serious crimes than he ever was. "Mo'nique threatened my life. She said if I ever told anyone about her lifestyle, she'd hire someone to kill me."
Dawson claims he is planning to write a book about his life with the star.
Which recently launched gossip Web site can't keep staff? "Our new editor went partying in Miami a few weeks ago and just sort of never came back," complains one insider, who now has to cover her 6 a.m.-3 p.m. shift. "It's awful."
I appreciate all your e-mails about a certain someone and I am concerned about it as well. I have been trying to remedy the problem and as an interim solution do make every effort to delete offensive comments. As always if you wish to slam me, I never delete those comments because they are directed at me and I am fair game. Lots of people come to the site for the comments, so I know how important they are to you and part of the fun of coming back everyday.
Valentine's Day is fast approaching so I of course will be making my love predictions that day. I have not gone back yet to see how good or god awful wrong I was about them, but this year's predictions will be better than ever. Also, next week, will be a long blind item because it has been awhile.
I know many of you were awaiting a piece on Brad Renfro written by one of his closest friends. It was going to be written by DS, but she is really still having trouble getting all of her emotions down in written form. If, and when she does, I will post it.
Now to the good stuff.
#1 Our HIV+ singer was asked by her local health department who she had sex with so they could be notified. There are some rumors that this list is up for sale.
#2 This aging Academy Award nominated actor is really starting to show even more signs that he may not have all his faculties. Lately he has been trying to make purchases with gold coins instead of cash. No one knows if he is truly crazy or a genius since the past few times he has attempted to use the coins, the owners of the store just let him have his purchases for free after he threw a fit about how he didn't believe in cash or credit anymore and that he was returning to the past. Uh huh.
#3 This diva of divas singer and sometime very bad actress spends a great deal of money at one particular store. No problem there. She always goes after closing. No problem there. The problem lies in the fact that she will only shop at the store if a certain person is working there and waits on her. Right before Christmas the salesperson was on vacation in Europe with her family when our singer decided to do some last minute Christmas shopping. When she was informed the salesperson was on vacation she threatened to never shop at the store again. Not wanting to lose our diva as a customer, they flew the salesperson from and back to Europe in Business Class just to wait on our diva.
New hair style and promoting a new product leaves me the choice of either putting Ali Larter at the top or getting my ass kicked. For such a skinny thing, she really is strong. Not like Planes Trains And Automobiles "last baby came out sideways" strong, but still, very strong.
One of the things that celebrity parents really have to focus on is teaching their children product placement at an early age. Violet now has been paid enough by the Wrigley folks to pay for college.
The newly engaged Jason Biggs. Congratulations. Make that engagement last pal because after the fifth or sixth engagement, they lose their luster.
It's hard to believe Eva Longoria came from such nice parents. The problem is I know she wasn't adopted so somehow it did occur. Well, there are albinos in the world also. Shit happens. Wouldn't it be hilarious if Eva was the spy?
To me David Beckham looks too skinny and his tattoos don't match. That is all my envy could come up with.
Popular guess for spy. Christina Applegate is funny enough and witty enough. Hmmmm.
Rage Against The Machine - Melbourne
Peaches Geldof gets a tattoo in the same place as her mom.
When you invite Mike Tyson to a charity ball, this is what you get. I think he is just as surprised as the people in the room that he was invited to come promote a charity.
Wouldn't be an Eva Longoria day without a little Mario Lopez.
She was a stalled Clear. Now she's a star, and it didn't cost her a thing. They don't work on commission people. Uh-huh. That's why Nancy Cartwright just coughed up $10M to Scientology and bought herself a chance at being the next Mrs. Tom Cruise or J-Lo's kids godparents or whatever the silent auction was for last week down at the center.
Teri Hatcher gets in bed with the Disney folks again. She does have quite the little scam going on here with the Disney folks. Usually she trots out her kid so that the average person knows why a 50 year old on a skin filled drama is out selling Disney.
My name is Luka. Well not really, but I did use to live on a second floor.
Ryan Gosling is honored by the folks in Santa Barbara. They sure did do a lot of honoring of men you all find attractive. Were there any women honored at all?
Reason #1 why there should be a show called I Hate The 80's
Which dinky lady TV star got so frisky with a female model, at an ultra-exclusive party, that even the champagne glasses got steamed up?
Does the headline look as stupid as it felt when I wrote it? I think every blog and gossip site has used that damn sentence in some way or another to talk about Amy Winehouse and each one of those times I thought it was stupid. But like I said, I'm a sheep.
Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch. You know. The big guy. Drives a taxi, make s Amy dress up and show him some bra when they go out. Ok, maybe showing the bra is her idea. Anyway, Mitch doesn't think Amy should go to the Grammy Awards because they are too soon.
Mitch told the Mirror, "I'm not sure the Grammys are going to happen. I don't want her to go - I think it might be a bit too soon for her.
"She's not well - that's why she's in rehab. But she's doing OK. She is getting good treatment."
As much as Amy appears to respect her dad, she obviously doesn't always listen. I wouldn't put it pass the record company to have someone in rehab with her reminding her everyday that she needs to go to the Grammy Awards and to make an appearance and sell all those bunches and bunches of records that follow a Grammy appearance. This is of course why the record company in their press release about Amy and rehab made such a big deal about the Grammy Awards.
In what is sure to be a positive step by the government of Barbados to attract more celebrities and drug users to their island, they appear to have a very loose set of laws related to the use of cocaine for personal use. Personal use being subjective. Jeremy Edwards, who is the host of the UK show Cook the Books who is vacationing in Barbados was arrested over the weekend for and appeared before a judge on Monday. A police spokesperson stated "Edwards was arrested after acting suspiciously on the street and was found with an amount of cocaine, but officers believed it was for personal use."
The judge fined him $500 and told him that any further offenses would find him in jail. The police spokesperson stated, "He has been allowed to continue his holiday."
Nice. Not only do you just have to pay a $500 fine when busted for cocaine on the island, they don't even deport you. They want you to continue your vacation and spend more money. Hell, they probably comped him a room for a night to make up for the time he had to spend in jail. I don't know why celebrities who use coke would party anywhere else. Use it on the streets, on the beaches. Share it with friends and neighbors. The worst thing that is going to happen is a $500 fine and a postcard from the tourist board to hurry back to Barbados. I wonder if the get out of jail for $500 thing is once per visit or once per lifetime.
Well, in a way it is. This is one of the best of the speechless series done in support of the writers. The fact that Maggie Gyllenhaal is in a three way lesbian orgy in the episode has nothing to do with my opinion of just how good this is. Totally safe for work.
I didn't know hip hop stars weren't allowed to use drugs, but Lil' Wayne says so therefore it must be true. Last week Lil' Wayne was arrested on three felony counts by Arizona police and now faces charges of possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and misconduct involving weapons.
It was all of course just a big misunderstanding according to Lil' Wayne. On Saturday, Lil' Wayne was playing a show in Richmond, Virginia when he said to the crowd, "A junkie can't do what the f**k I do. I try to tell them (police). I am the ultimate high, understand? I am my drug, you understand me?"
Apparently Lil' Wayne likes taking his own drugs a lot because he was previously arrested on drug charges in Atlanta, Georgia in 2006. He is also currently facing illegal gun possession charges and is due to appear in court in New York to face those counts at the end of February.
As far as I'm concerned, you walk up to the police and tell them you are the ultimate high, and that you are your own drug, I start looking for drugs. Maybe he just uses all the alleged drugs found in his possession to use as a demonstration or prop in front of his audiences to educate them on the evil of drugs and how they should turn away from drugs and turn to Lil' Wayne instead for their high.
That education theory works really well in practice, but it is tough to tell a cop they are just for show when you keep getting arrested for it repeatedly. Kind of like the guy with all the child pron on the computers who are just doing it for research for a book. Meanwhile the guy can't even read.
Do you know what Clean Flix is? If you don't let me tell you. It is a chain of video stores that rent out sanitized films for your protection. They edit these things more than an airing on the Disney Channel. Anything remotely offensive is removed. Studios hate these people, but rarely do more than threaten them. One of the founders of the Clean Flix chain also controls the entire Flix Club market in Utah which is the largest in the country.
This founder's name is Daniel Thompson. Daniel was arrested has been arrested in Orem, Utah on charges of having sex with underaged girls. According to Orem police, Daniel Thompson also told the girls that his business was actually a cover for a pornography studio and asked them to participate in making a porn movie. The police report also said that they uncovered a "large quantity" of pornography at Thompson's business. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Thompson told the arresting officers that he was unaware that the girls were not of legal age and that the porn movies were for his "personal use."
With all the deleted scenes he has from all the films he rented, you would think he could just splice all that together and have himself one big porn fiesta. Instead he found himself some girls and faces charges of statutory rape. Nice to be a hypocrite. Do they still have death by firing squad in Utah?
When is the last time you read gossip about Mira Sorvino? Huh? Long time I bet. Well, as far as you know it has been a long time. Never know when someone is going to turn up in the blind items. Remember, if you win an Oscar, you are a B lister for life.
Anyway, I'm sure Mira is a role model to all the women out there, as she is 40 years old and married to a 26 year old named Chris Backus. She actually married him when he was 22 or 23. It actually is kind of cool that it happens in reverse sometimes. It's not freaky at all like when Barbra Streisand had her little thing with Andre Aggasi.
Chris is a professional athlete turned actor and like most athletes turned actor has been having a little difficulty getting roles. Well, not wanting to always make him feel like she is the sole bread winner for the entire family, which she is, or the reason their two children can have the best of everything, which she is, Mira decided to do something about it. She wrote an entire film, and is producing it, just so she can get her husband a starring role. It's much easier of course on the conscience to go this route because he gets an actual paycheck and doesn't have to take money from her purse when he needs to go to the store for baseball cards.
I know, I know. Baseball cards? He isn't that young. I want you to know that even though I'm being snarky, I don't blame Mira and think that a guy in her position would do the same thing. I know that when I turned 40 and was seeing that 19 year old, I needed to keep her happy so I bought her a pane ticket every weekend so she could see her dying mother in Las Vegas. That woman was sick for a year, but my girlfriend was on that plane every Friday night like clockwork and would be back in my arms by Tuesday. Wednesday at the latest. I admire that much devotion to family.
I think everyone in Mira's position would start to feel that, "I met him when he could barely drink, and now it has been a few years, I'm 40 and haven't been big in a little while except when I was pregnant, and I'm wondering if I am still attractive and if he feels manly enough because he doesn't make any money, and we live off my income, so let me write and produce a movie so he feels like he is working. "
Dear Oprah,
Yesterday was your birthday. I don't know how I forgot to say anything about it yesterday. I know that birthday wishes after the fact just aren't that great unless accompanied by a present. But at what point does a late birthday gift actually become a gift gift. You know the kind that can be kind of awkward between people because there really is no reason other than sucking up to give that gift. Kind of like when Jessica Seinfeld gave you all those shoes. It wasn't your birthday then, although since you are almost God-like I wouldn't put it past you to have two birthdays each year. See, she could have called them an early birthday present. It is much easier to pull of a two month early birthday present than a two month late birthday present. If you get earlier than two months, than the givee can forget that they have already received a gift, and then feel like they were shafted by the person until they are reminded of the early birthday gift.
Speaking of gifts, have you ever met Gift Clement. She is a truly inspiring role model for women. From what I can tell she has made it through a terminal illness unscathed, escaped hundreds of attempts on her life by greedy relatives, was married to some prince or rich guy who called himself a prince, and is now helping the unfortunate in India. I can't believe you have not had her on your show yet. She is someone every woman can admire and respect. I think she is probably much more worthy to have a television show and magazine than Rachael Ray. I know, I know. You like Rachael, but just between us, Dr. Phil is on his way out isn't he? I think you are still holding a grudge that he got you back together with Letterman. Well, I think that if you need Dr. Phil to do something until his contract with you runs out, you could ship him off to South Africa and have him be the Headmaster at your school. He could give those girls advice all day long. Might be good fit.
Speaking of good fits, what did Steadman give you for your birthday? Probably not a whole hell of a lot after you kept him out of your will. You really shouldn't make that kind of stuff public because you never know what he will do to you one night while you are sleeping. I know he would have to get by Gayle who can be like a guard dog, but still, please, please watch your back. I have met Steadman a few times. He is a quiet guy, but those are the sneaky ones.
Anyway, you can give my gift to charity, or do whatever you like with it. I know it isn't as good as the guy who did the gold tomb thingy for you, but frankly, I don't have that much time. Enjoy the Charlie perfume and the box of chocolates. Just ignore the Merry Christmas on the box of chocolates. They are gold baby.
For quite possibly the first time in her life, Denise Richards has won an award for something other than being the biggest earner. Turns out Denise was named the winner of Entertainment Weekly's worst Bond girl award. Denise if you will recall played a Bond girl in the 1999 film The World Is Not Enough. Turns out the world wasn't big enough to hide the performance of Denise. I think the reason she won the award is that the role actually required her to memorize more than five lines, and if I recall she was supposed to be a rocket scientist. The guys on the casting couch must have been laughing with that one. "Sure baby. You have got the part. You are going to be a rocket scientist. Hell we will even make you a doctor. Dr. Christmas Jones. Now quit talking. I don't have anymore Viagra"
I know that if EW has a party commemorating the fact, Denise would probably still show up if she thought it could get her photograph in the magazine somehow.
Tanya Roberts (A View To A Kill)
and Corinne Clery (Moonraker) 
finished second and third respectively. I used to be a big fan of Tanya Roberts. I think every guy was. She was on television for us every night when we turned on Cinemax or Showtime late at night, and so guys knew who she was. Women really didn't know who Tanya was until she suddenly turned up on That 70's Show. Tanya basically played the same character she had been playing in all those soft porn films, except she didn't have to get naked in front of the camera. Right now I think Tanya is quite possibly the most annoying actress on the planet with all those Las Vegas radio commercials she does. "Can you say high roller treatment?" I got your high roller treatment here, and it doesn't involve spending 8 hours listening to some guy try and sell me a condo in return for spending time in that Motel 6 you call a luxury development. Oh, and about that show right on the Strip. Can you say they take you and stand you in front of the guy who takes pictures of tourists with his parrots and charges $20. After a couple of photos, they say, "that is one hell of a show huh? And right here in this alley off the Strip. Now, what do you say we look at those plans for your condo one more time, and get that bank account information and PIN from you."
Ursula Andress was voted the best Bond girl for her iconic portrayal of Honey Ryder in Dr No,
followed by Honor Blackman (Goldfinger)
and Diana Rigg (On Her Majesty's Secret Service).
Which model-turned-actress, who is on her second actor husband, relaxes between shoots with a bong made from an enormous two-liter plastic soda bottle?
#1 This A list actor/actress married couple. How does the couples thing work? I think that if one is a B+ lister and the other is probably a B+ lister but formerly A list, and they both have A list name recognition, that they should be an A list couple. That was a long way to go for telling you that it seems that our actor recently got the actress pregnant. I think it does usually work that way except in the movie Junior. Our actress miscarried, and since then our actor has gone off the deep end. It looked like he was headed off the deep end before the miscarriage, but he has been using it as an excuse to justify his behavior and his absences.
#2 He is an A list actor by definition, and he is certainly paid up towards the top of the acting list. It is a good thing he is getting paid a lot because he is not getting laid a lot. Oh, he tries, but our funnyman has a real problem getting the party started so to speak. The women usually try their best, but our actor inevitably sends them on their way with an apology and gets back to doing what is causing the problem in the first place.
Last week I had a discussion with three people about Ally Hilfiger and how she had her own reality show at one point. They just could not and would not believe that some network would be dumb enough or crazy enough to put an idiot like Ally on the air. Just then, the waitress walked up hearing our discussion and said, "OMG, I loved Rich Girls."
"What? Is there a photographer over there?" Mariah Carey caught "unaware" while out doing some shopping.
Tell me that you wouldn't want to party with Dwight Yoakam. See, you do. You know you do.
Is that Bobby Flay checking out Jessica Alba's ass?
This is Jennifer Aniston on the set of her new film. For someone who is a box office jinx she sure does get a lot of work. The producers must say to themselves, "I need a tax break. Lets find a disaster of a movie and cast it. I hope Jennifer Aniston is available."
Picture of George Clooney doing some kind of world do gooder thing. He is meeting with the Defense Minister of India. The Minister is Vijay Singh. I though Vijay was a golfer. How does he do both at the same time? I do like George's suit. I look like a tent when I wear those colors.
This is Doug Jones. Doug isn't that well known, but this picture made me laugh so he gets on here.
Spring is almost here and that means Music News And Photos will be back soon. This is Alanis Morissette in concert. I think the song is called Ryan Is An Ass. Maybe I heard it wrong.
Why you should not drink past the age of 50. Oh, he's not 50? Well, then why you should not drink past the age of 40. Oh, he's not 40. Well he looks like crap however old he is.
There must be some mistake. Who gave Susan Lucci an award?
Justin Long is happy now, but I'm telling you his heart is going to be crushed by Drew Barrymore. Crushed I tell you.
I think that is a hickey on Johnny Knoxville's neck and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Tracy Morgan was the giver.
The Santa Barbara Film Festival spent a whole night honoring Javier Bardem. I thought you would be pleased.
Dee Snider is using a resurgence in his popularity to do some good. On February 25, Dee is putting together a concert which will benefit the survivors of the Great White club gig where 100 fans were killed by fire and more than 200 injured. Snider was moved to do something when one of the burn victims told him that each day in the hospital for a burn victim can cost as much as $70,000. The concert will be broadcast on VH1.
The lineup so far includes Twisted Sister, Tesla, Stryper, Jewel, Kellie Pickler, and Tom Scholz. The concert will be held at The Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence Rhode Island. Rachael Ray will be serving the coffee for everyone. Ok. That last part is crap, but I never did comment on her apparent dislike for the coffee that pays her a great deal to say that she does.
It's very easy to forget about a tragedy and move on. I'm glad to see that Dee not only remembers what happened, but is doing something about it. So, here is some old school Twisted Sister.
Which Hollywood actress loves to snort cocaine off chrome motorbike handles? The white marching powder always comes out at night.
The Daily Mirror has two new 3am women so it will be interesting to see how the blind items are affected.
Every time I post something negative about Jessica Simpson I get a flood of e-mails all saying that she is the most wonderful person on earth, and going on and on and on. I am not really a conspiracy guy, but most of the e-mails always highlight the same two or three things like they are part of a form letter. Anyway, to make Pimpa Joe and his e-mailing minions happy, I thought I would write a post from the treat Jessica like a saint side about her publicity job date she had last night with that quarterback dude, and see how it sounds. The post uses actual quotes from real people, but the rest is real kneepad stuff. Hang on a second. Kneepads are a little tough to get on. I really can't even see my knees. Okay. Got it . Here we go. Wow. They hurt.
Last night Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo showed the world they are still together. It was a party of ten for the world famous singer and her quarterback stud as they dined at Il Sole out in West Hollywood. It may have been a party of ten, but the eyes of the restaurant were focused on only one couple.
"Throughout the entire meal, Jessica and Tony kept touching and kissing and seemed oblivious to the entire world. " said one source. Another witness to this hottest couple since Romeo & Juliet said “Jessica had no makeup on and her hair was thrown to the side in a bun. She seemed very comfortable and laid back with Tony and not at all worried about looking good or impressing him.”
At one point, Simpson, known most for her number one albums and dedication to the people at Operation Smile, was chatting with her well paid and loved assistant Cacee Cobb when Tony, in a gesture straight from the movies, "put his finger under her chin and turned her face towards him and gave her a long kiss while holding her face in his palm,” a witness says.
At that point the crows at the restaurant broke into a round of applause. Diners were crying at the sight of such passion and romance between a couple. Several diners, caught up in the emotion, proposed marriage to the people they were with.
Simpson had pasta with extra Parmesan cheese and drank Veuve Clicquot; Romo sipped on red wine but barely touched his food as he couldn't stop staring at Jessica. “They ate off each other’s plates!” said one onlooker. "At one point, Jessica started feeding Tony because he just could not stop looking at Jessica." continued the source.
“Jess and Tony were whispering in each others ears and having private conversations,” the witness adds. “A few times it looked like Jessica had to fill Tony in on the inside jokes between her old friends. She would tell him a story and then rest her head on his shoulder.”
Afterward, they hit up the Metal Skool karaoke night at the Key Club in Los Angeles, where Romo serenaded Simpson. "He was singing directly to her — and she was on cloud nine," a witness said.
This is the way love should be.
First was the announced mashup of Rihanna with The Time. Then came the news that Tina Tina Turner and Beyonce were going to sing together. Now, it looks as if Foo Fighters and Led Zeppelin are going to get together and work their way through the Foo song The Pretender. No word on any other songs the two groups may play together, or if Led Zeppelin will perform one of their own.
With the writers union agreeing to an interim deal, and the great performances, this could quite honestly be the best Grammy show in a very long time.
That is of course true, even without the special appearance by Michael Jackson performing a song from Thriller 25. Oh, I guess you think it is a coincidence that the album is going to be released the day after the Grammy's. Please. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is if Michael is going to duet with Akon, Kanye or Fergie.
"Actress Sean Young voluntarily admitted herself yesterday to a rehabilitation center for treatment related to alcoholism," a statement from Insignia PR said Tuesday. "It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."
In addition to the outburst described yesterday, Sean Young it seems also took offense to Marion Cotillard who starred in La Vie en Rose. Sean began yelling at her in French when she went up on stage and most of it wasn't pleasant, although some was just being happy to use French really loud at a really boring event. I mean look at her date. Doesn't look like Mr. Fun Times does he? He looks like he just wants the night to be over and then go have crazy sex with Sean. Don't think it was boring? There is a woman sleeping in one of the photos, or quite possibly passed out from the looks of that cheap wine.
When a clip of Michael Clayton was shown, Sean Young began bad mouthing George Clooney. I am guessing it may have to do with some perceived romantic slight along the way between the two. So, when it finally came time for Julian Schnabel, Sean was through with the whole event.
Vanessa Paradis was on French television over the weekend singing her new song. I have to tell you that if you close your eyes and just listen to the song, you can see why it is a modest hot in France. If you open your eyes and watch Vanessa display the worst stage presence of any singer in the history of mankind, you realize that she should probably just stand behind a microphone while she lip synchs, rather than wander the hippie garden looking like a lost little lamb. Like I said, the song is good, Vanessa's performance, not so much.
What we have here is Lindsay Lohan drinking. The only question appears to be how much exactly did Lindsay Lohan drink? Here is my thing with Lindsay Lohan. I think she shouldn't be drinking at this time. However, and this is a very big however. Lindsay's problems have always been with drugs, not drinking. At this point in her recovery, I don't think she should be drinking, but I also don't think it is realistic for her to go the next 60 years of her life without drinking.
I have used the Drew Barrymore example before. Drew went to rehab to get herself clean, but she wasn't an alcoholic, or a drug addict, the problem was she was 13 and needed to stop at that time. Drew drinks now and uses some pot, but I don't think anyone considers her to have a substance abuse problem.
Many of us partied our little brain cells away when we were Lindsay's age and if we had access to her money, we might have even used something a little stronger than booze. Were we addicts or were we young?
Lindsay just needs to refrain from drinking right now because I am afraid it will lead her back into drugs, and since she has no money to pay for them, will end up being some dealer's play thing or charging some of these wealthy guys she is sleeping with on the first date.
Anyway, back to the math. Page Six says that Lindsay took a swig from a Grey Goose vodka bottle at the Box Friday night. She was with Samantha Ronson by the way. According to the NY Daily News, Lindsay had at least two vodka cocktails at a different NY club on Friday night. So, if we count the swig as one drink, and then her cocktails as two, lets see. Carry the one. She had three. OK, thanks. Hardly a disaster since they were spread over the course of the night, but not the perception she wants to leave with producers who are looking to cast a new film.
Lindsay. Drink water out and vodka at home.
I really do hate pregnancy stories because there are just too many of them, and with the exception of the occasional Jamie Lynn Spears type pregnancy, it is not really a story. People have been getting knocked up for at least what, 30 or 40 years? Seriously, I think the allure for the tabloids is that since so many people get pregnant, and name their children after the children of celebrities, that they must then want to hear about celebrity babies. There are many, many gossip websites devoted to nothing else but celebrities and their babies and pregnancies.
The reason I am even talking about Gwen Stefani and her baby is because even when everyone was saying, no, I was saying yes. I have had that happen a great deal, but like a good gentleman, when I hear the word no, I stop. I'm more comfortable being alone anyway. Having someone tell me to stop eating just isn't fun when I want more. Oh, you thought I meant sex didn't you? You guys have a bunch of dirty minds. I think the only question we really need to ask ourselves about this whole Gwen Stefani pregnancy thing is did she let Gavin in on the planning or is this something she decided on her own. Gwen is three months pregnant, and if you click here, you will see that I knew about it back in November.
Congratulations Gwen. Now use this time and finish the damn No Doubt album. Then pop the baby out and go on tour with the fellas. They need the money, and the time away from their families.
Which reality-show clogged network had to change its casting procedures after a racist internal policy was leaked? Producers had an informal ban on considering cast members who were "too black." They claimed it was because darker skin tones were hard to pick up on camera.
#1 - This cable B list actor who is now getting a shot at the big time wanted everyone to believe that his separation from his wife was all about not getting along and not making their schedules work. The actual problem was that he couldn't get away from his boyfriend enough to make his wife happy.
#2 This C/B- film actress and only film. Big films at that. Is not quite of the legal age of consent. This might explain her father's concern when she brought home her 35 year old boyfriend she met on her most recently completed film.
#3 Spot the delivery boy. They were both at the SAG Awards last night.
Hi everyone. Sorry We couldn't do this for the Golden Globes. Before I spill, I just want to remind Enty publicly that I was right about Hayden and Milo way back at the Emmy Awards even though he said I was wrong. Something PRADA is always nice.
There was a running discussion all night if Tom Cruise uses Mystic Tan or if he has some kind of self bronzer. Self bronzer was the clear favorite because he missed some spots.
I patted Ben Foster's ass. Rock hard ladies. Rock hard. Oh, and I'm also a few hundred bucks richer for doing it.
I kept walking behind John Travolta all night hoping one of his plugs would come out so I could give it to Enty for a present. The funny thing is, his hair doesn't move. When he walks, it stays in place. I think it must be sewn into that position.
Ruby Dee gave me a hug and said she loved my work. I feel like crying.
Mickey Rooney introduced himself to me about ten times. I'm not sure he knows where he is. I think people just wind him up and put him at a show. A little friendly with the hands also so it might just be an act.
Next time I think there should just be a live webcam in front of Brad and Angelina and put it on a big screen. There were so many people around them all of the time that I would have felt suffocated. Sometimes there were people three or four deep around them. She is just so beautiful in person. I have never seen anyone who wears and evening gown better than she does. Ever. I thought I saw her sipping some champagne which would kind of throw those pregnancy rumors into doubt. It was really hard to tell though. I wasn't really that close to them, and I just saw it really quickly.
Only person more drunk than me last night. Ryan Gosling. I slipped him some tongue when I said good night. Don't tell anyone. It was minty fresh.
Ashley Tisdale reminds of me a poodle. Maybe it is the hair or something, but I just think of a poodle when I see her.
Zac Efron wears more makeup than me.
Are you supposed to kiss Tom Cruise's ring when you meet him? What is the protocol on that exactly? He said hello to someone at my table and just flashed those veneers right at us.
I introduced myself to Ellen Page because Enty made me. I felt bad though because I don't think she had even 1 minute where someone wasn't talking to her or introducing themselves or kissing her ass.
I would still do Michael Keaton.
There is no one in the Sopranos I would do.
Woody Harrelson and Glenn Close aren't sleeping together anymore are they? I mean that was a really long time ago right? Right?
I know Enty hates Eva Longoria but she is always really sweet to me, and she always calls me on my birthday which is really nice. I thought her new look was really cute.
Debra Messing has crazy eyes. Don't ever look at her straight in the eye. Seriously. You will feel a chill.
Next time you get drunk at a table of actors, try this party game. Six degrees of separation with Kevin Bacon but with people you have slept with. I feel like a slut, but I wasn't as bad as someone else at the table.
Now if I could figure out a way to get Rebecca Gayheart out of the way, I would be set.
You think Ryan will call?
Later today will be the blind items as well as a report from the SAG Awards from our spy. Seems she had a bit too much to drink last night, and so the hangover is causing a little delay.
Jeremy Piven at the top, but you have to admit he does look pretty good. Hardly smarmy at all.
I really didn't think it was possible for Lisa Rinna to make facial expressions anymore. Of course, she probably only has one or two available to her after all that work, but still, good to see she can at least do one.
You all look at Josh Brolin and I will keep myself occupied with Diane Lane's cleavage.
A nice side view of Ryan Gosling. Gives you an idea of how packed the red carpet is with people.
Wow. Marcia Cross looks good. For some reason that Charlie's Angels hairstyle looks normal on her.
I didn't think it was possible for Kate Beckinsale to not look great. I was wrong.
Kevin Bacon looks like he was sharing a bong with Woody Harrelson, but Kyra Sedgewick looks great.
I think John Turturro should return his Sally Jesse Raphael glasses.
Actually it looks like Woody might have left the bong at home.
It must have taken hours of adjusting to stuff Vanessa Williams' breasts into that dress.
Teri Hatcher actually looks good for her. Guess we know what she did with her old curtains.
I love Tina Fey, but it just feels like maybe she wasn't into this whole dressing up thing.
I like the Sandra Oh take on a traditional Korean outfit.
The folks over at Gawker got their hands on an e-mail allegedly sent out by Leah Remini. They make they the argument that it could be from her or not from her and that it could be a Scientology bluff. Here is the letter in it's entirety. I am just going to copy a few of the parts which make me think it is real, and also makes me wonder just how damn expensive is this religion.
I remember thinking and saying out loud, "I WILL NEVER be like those idiots who wait 10 years to go OT!" 10 years later, I hadn't moved. I mean I did everything else but move on to Solo One. I did other courses, I got myself in to trouble, then needed some FPRD and then I would finish that and it would be "my finances"... I would hear people talk to me about other Clears and refer to them as "stalled Clears" and I would be like "Yeah-they are totally stalled.
Whatever the reason, there is an answer and a solution. I don't care what it is: you were not serviced right or fast enough, people don't get you, you have other things going on that we don't get, you are helping others, you are upset, you haven't been acked, your life is actually
going well, your life is not going well, there's no money there's no time, if you were a millionaire you would do it no problem,
Do you think I make some sort of commission off you? The answer is that I don't have better things to do than to support my group and help when I can. Clears ARE my group. And no- I don't make a dime.
You're waiting because of money? Or for your wife to do it first or for you to strike it rich? It will not happen without your decision to go up the levels. That is the truth. You owe it to yourself, your family, and to mankind to move and move NOW.
Granted, this is a very, very, very long e-mail and very difficult to get through since it is like reading another language, but I am shocked by how many times the issue of money is brought up. How much does being in Scientology cost? Why is there the commission line? Do other members get commissions off other members at certain times? How come you need to pay to move ahead in the religion? Is it percentage based or is it only the richest succeed? That last paragraph is especially telling, because it seems to indicate that the only way someone can really get ahead is to strike it rich.
With all of these revelations and leaks, it just seems like this organization just gets more and more shady. I can't tell the difference between this e-mail Leah sent and any other scam pyramid scheme type letters. I am wondering if this is all one big pyramid scheme that is going to come crashing down on the top of Tom Cruise. Not that he would have far to fall, unless he was wearing his heels. Can you honestly tell me if you read this that you could see she was talking about religion and not water purification filters she was selling and exhorting the people below her on the pyramid to move up and sell more? Just remember that all pyramid schemes eventually come crashing to earth. Not of course that Scientology is a pyramid scheme, just saying that I can't tell the difference in the e-mail I read.
I will put Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie first simply because I am a sheep and everyone else is doing so. I think Brad is trying to look like Robert Redford, and that maybe he is trying to fulfill some old man fantasy that Angelina has. You think I'm kidding right? Do you seriously want to bet and take the chance that Angelina doesn't have that kind of fantasy? I do like the brown tie dye look though. You don't usually see those colors in a tie dye so points for uniqueness. And, if she's not pregnant, then she is really laughing inside while wearing that.
I just always like the way Carla Gugino dresses. It does seem like she wears the same style every single time though. At least you know she won't be laughed at when you do that.
I think Cate Blanchett knew that the clock was ticking and that soon John Travolta would be talking to her and talking, and just would not shut up all night. As for the dress, I know you all love Cate, but it really doesn't look that great does it? I thought most of the dresses were depressing. Maybe it was the clouds or something, but everyone seemed so somber and it wasn't just because of Heath Ledger. These dresses had been planned before his death.
Casey Affleck in his usual Blues Brothers style suit.
I know they aren't a couple, but I do like Adrian Grenier and Emmanuelle Chriqui as at least a pseudo couple. Notice who is next to them on the red carpet.
See, this is why Amanda Bynes should have never gone blonde. I love Brittany Snow, but when you can't tell the difference between Brittany Snow, Amanda Bynes and Ashley Tisdale, then there is something wrong. It is ok to look different.
Not that different. Ellen Pompeo gives her tribute to Aluminum foil.
Rebecca Gayheart kind of looks like Fergie here and that isn't good. It is nice to see that she is still adding weight though. I do like how her head leans the same way as Eric Dane's hair. They might have practiced that in the mirror at home.
I don't think I have ever seen two more fake smiles. I understand Debra Messing's. I mean look at that dress. I would be almost crying also if I were her date. Christina Applegate might just not like hanging out with Debra, hence the fakeness. Of course it could also be their 1,000th smile of the night.
Denis Leary, Javier Bardem, and the director Sean Young heckled.
Viggo Mortensen and Christopher Walken. Nice combination.
Jena Malone is one of the coolest people on the planet. Not sure about the new hair color, but still an incredible singer and actress.
I love Jamie Lynn Sigler. We all know that, but I really don't like this at all. It kind of says Jersey shore prom.
I also adore Jenna Fischer more than you all will know, but this is kind of like Hee Haw decided to get dressed up and go to the SAG Awards. I really thought it was denim at first.
Close it out with some more Javier Bardem. Just don't think about cold water and you will be fine.
Sean Young is without a doubt the craziest actress who has ever managed to keep finding work in LA. From the time she broke her arm and got kicked off Batman, she has been in a downward spiral. She has ruined her own career so many times that I keep expecting her to just start showing up on reality television. Instead, she calls a friend of a friend and through sheer stalking manages to get another role and another chance at redemption. Alternating between great performances and Razzie performances, the only thing you could ever count on from Sean Young is that she was going to piss off a bunch of people and get drunk.
Saturday night she managed to do both and also piss off every director she has somehow overlooked pissing off over the past 30 years. Julian Schnabel was being honored, and had just started to give his speech when that familiar, loud, cackling voice came out of nowhere. As soon as he started talking, Sean Young started heckling. Security grabbed her and she started throwing punches at them. She kept shouting things as she was escorted from the building, and Julian had to start back at the beginning of his speech and so gave himself an extra five minutes for the distraction. Directors talk forever when given awards in front of their peers.
If Sean Young was anyone else this would have been all over everything. Instead there are literally 75 articles about whether Angelina Jolie is pregnant. Who cares if she is? You have nine months to talk about it and speculate and even wonder if Brad Pitt is the father. Sure Sean Young is not a household name, but a drunken fight at the DGA's, is to me a hell of a lot more exciting than whether Angelina is breeding again.
I'm fairly sure that most of you saw that New Kids On The Block is reforming or reuniting or going to try and get some money out of people or something. Their website which had previously been dormant like their careers is now back up and running. If this premise sounds familiar, it is the same thing The Spice Girls did before announcing their reunion tour. Unlike The Spice Girls though, NKOTB have waited a little long to make their comeback.
In 1999, MTV tried to reunite the group for the Video Music Awards but Jonathon said no. If you can't remember who Jonathon is, he is the pretentious one of the group. That really helps doesn't it? 1999 would have been a good time to do it. 1994 was their last album which bombed so bad that it is unfortunate it was even released. The problem was all their fans had grown up and were listening to real music.
There is nothing wrong with having liked NKOTB. Nothing at all. I think bubble gum pop is a very important part of the growing up process, and don't disparage their success for even one second. What I think is the wrong thing to do is to try and think they can come back now and make a ton of money and try to reclaim their lost glory like a a 40 year old guy in a slow pitch softball league.
The Spice Girls were always campy and kitschy and it hasn't been that long since they had been together. Second, most of their members have stayed in the public eye and so people were familiar with what they were doing and there was some star power. Even with all of that, the Spice Girls still overdid it and ended up looking greedy as they played half filled arenas for much of their latter dates.
Who is going to want to see NKOTB? If you were 16 when their final album was released, you are now approaching 30. While it was fun to dance and scream and have their posters on your wall when before you could rive, are you really going to spend $100 a person to see a bunch of 40 year old guys attempt to dance and lip synch for 90 minutes? If you want that go to Karaoke that has drink specials.
These guys just need to leave everyone with a warm nostalgic smile on their faces when they think of NKOTB memories and not replace them with the sight of a bunch of balding, beer bellied guys mouthing the words to Hangin Tough.
If you want to relive your youth or just see really bad acting, Step By Step is the video below.
As I saw the photos of Nicole Richie this weekend on her first night out since having the baby, I realized something which made me smile. This should be the last time we have to see or hear from Nicole for quite some time. Oh, we will have the inevitable photos of Nicole and Joel and the baby whenever Nicole needs some spending cash, or some new clothes, but lets face it she's done. The only thing that has kept her in the tabloids for the past few months has been the fact that she was pregnant. Unless she gets knocked up by Benji, no one is really going to care about her.
She isn't a great singer. If she gets any film roles, she will likely be worse than Paris, and the only television she is going to get is reality television. I actually thought she might have some acting talent, but the thing is she only has one character and it has been played out extensively on The Simple Life. Think about this. We saw her when she gave birth and then we haven't seen her at all since then. She's been out of the house, but no one has cared. The only reason anyone took notice is because she went to a pap infested restaurant. She wanted to show the world that she was already back down to her original skeletal weight of 85 pounds just a few weeks after giving birth. Actually, in all fairness I think she was 87 pounds when she was arrested. So, she probably is a few pounds above that.
Ask yourself if you are interested in anything other than the happy birthday photos of the photo once a year or so. You're not right? One annoying celebutante gone. Next.
Do you remember all the old Death Wish movies? They cracked me up because Charles Bronson just didn't seem like the kind of guy who would go after people who wrong him or members of his family. Michael Lohan is set to star in a real life version of those films. Because it has been at least two weeks since he has been in the news, Michael Lohan decided to make some of his own. He started calling random tabloids saying that he was going to get even with the guys who used to sell Lindsay Lohan drugs. I think he is more afraid of what the former drug dealers are going to say in their story which is for sale. Do you think Michael is afraid that they are going to name his name as well as Lindsay's? Wouldn't it be something if Lindsay couldn't drive to get her drugs so Michael drove her, and also had Lindsay pay for his because he didn't have any money?
Michael said: "God is going to get even with this guy. He's destroyed a lot of lives. "I've been looking for the people who've been selling my daughter and these other kids the drugs. And come hell or high water, one day I'm going to find these guys and I'm going to expose them."
As I said above, the guys are trying to expose themselves by selling their story. I think Michael just wants to find them first. I don't know what he can offer them since he doesn't have money. I guess he could offer up the ex or something.
One thing I can't see is Michael actually confronting anyone unless there are about ten layers of armed guards between him and anyone even half dangerous. This guys is like a rat who only shows up when he can gain something with little or no chance of it backfiring at him. Out of all the bad celebrity dads, I would rank him the worst. Thora Birch's dad is creepy and Pimpa Joe is a perv, but all Michael does is literally attach himself to Lindsay and leech what he can. From now on Michael Lohan is The Leech.
