Full Frontal Friday

So, this week it is a big one, although there is not much size to the offerings if you know what I mean. Yes, there is some Richard Gere and also a politician since it was such a big week for politics. There are some other surprises as well. Again, no video as X-Tube seems to have taken down all their celebrity videos. As always these are really NSFW. People under 18, go find something else to do, and get away from the computer. Go get some exercise and see the sun for once in your life. Otherwise you will be forced to self tan and end up looking like Lindsay Lohan. Here is the link.

Four For Friday - Fashion Week

Don't forget that Monday is a really big day. Grammy recap and our BAFTA insider will be doing her salacious inside scoop from the awards there, with photos I might add.

From Fashion Week

#1 This celebutard/reality female was spotted not, once, not twice, but three times this past week with different aging men who had paid a substantial sum to "spend some time" with her. Considering she hasn't been able to get a new tv gig, this is probably not a bad way for her to make a living.

#2 This barely 20's male B list television actor who is the "in" person right now was great in the afternoons, but was a complete ass by midnight because of his 12 hour a day constant coke habit. That's two from this group now.

#3 This couple consisting of a guy and his B list quickly dropping to C list actress wife with the B+ name recognition spent their first time together in months as a couple. She is not the nicest person to her husband or to their child, and so he had walked out. She made the rounds quietly with a couple of guys, but realized she missed her husband's money so has been kissing his ass in attempt to get him back. The thing is she had never really been nice to him in public before, and this week was acting like a Stepford Wife, so it was pretty obvious what was going on.

#4 How do you describe this guy without giving it away? Actor, barely. Oh, he thinks he is, but in reality is known for one particular role. Spooky? You bet. Arrogant? Absolutely. Straight? 100%, or so we all thought. Seems though that his fondness for a certain act is not limited to women as he was spotted in a restroom getting some attention from a guy.

I didn't think there was anything uglier than the current state of Lindsay Lohan's face, but I was wrong. This photo was taken as she was going TO a James Blunt concert. After the show he told her that he wrote Beautiful just for her. He probably didn't even need to use that line. She would have f**ked him anyway.
I like Kat von D, but I really don't like that neck tattoo. I can handle the rest, although the Mike Tyson tribute tattoo above the eyebrow is a little odd as well.
Wow. Did I miss the memo where orange is the new "it" color to have?

Eat Away My Good Man

Val Kilmer has found some more acting work which will not involve him actually having to get in front of the cameras. This is good news for all of the restaurants in LA who would go out of business if Val had to drop any weight. Instead, he can now continue to become this generation's Marlon Brando. Val Kilmer is stepping in for Will Arnett as the voice of KITT in the new Knight Rider film. Will Arnett had to drop out because GM was none to pleased that the voice over person they have been using for ten years was going to be coming out of a Ford Mustang in a feature film.

Will agreed that perhaps he wasn't quite ready to give up the new Chevy Aveo they give him every year and so the gig went instead to Kilmer. Val who has unsurprisingly been doing a great deal of voice over work as his weight reaches epic proportions was happy to get the role. He of course had no comment because he is still a surly bastard despite his happy go lucky Santa features.

Oh, and in case you didn't see it in the news this week, Jason Bateman confirmed that an Arrested Development film is in the pipeline. Just as long as it has Liza naked I'm there. Anyoung.

Stay Classy San Diego

I love San Diego. It is by far one of my favorite cities, but I'm thinking the House of Blues down there is jinxed. If you remember, last year Britney Spears made her "return" to performing live at the HOB in San Diego complete with an OJ like chain of cars following her down there. Now, comes word that the Velvet Revolver show scheduled for the HOB in San Diego tonight has been canceled because Scott Weiland checked himself into rehab last night. The reason? According to some people I know who went to their show in LA last night it was one of the worst they had ever seen.

This bad performance was followed by his no show a couple weeks ago in Sundance where everyone else had to fill in for him. I honestly don't think that Velvet Revolver is going to get back together again. I think last night was it for them, and thus San Diego is going to miss out on seeing what used to be a pretty cool band and will be left instead with the memories of Britney pounding out Karaoke and doing some really crappy dance moves.

Weiland has struggled with his sobriety over the years and has been convicted in the past for DUI and also for buying crack cocaine. He faces additional charges for a DUI from this past November.

Here is the band's official statement. ""Following Velvet Revolver's performance last night in Los Angeles, lead singer Scott Weiland voluntarily entered a rehab facility. Tonight's San Diego show at the House of Blues has been postponed; the rescheduled date for San Diego is (to be announced). Velvet Revolver deeply apologize to their fans and thank them for sticking by the group."

To me Scott has always been an amazing talent who has let it go to crap with his drug and alcohol abuse. I hope he gets better and gets back to being what he used to be and what he has the potential still to be. Below is an early song from his STP days.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which gobby TV star is such a diva she blagged a bevy of extra mates on an all-expenses paid holiday and refused to leave a tip for hotel staff?

Lindsay Lohan In Glamour UK

From the look of these photos it appears that Lindsay Lohan may have been a last minute replacement for some other cover shoot gone horribly wrong. Either that or no matter how much you airbrush Lindsay now, she still doesn't look good. Maybe it is just me but she looks really puffy and even bad for my low expectations.

Pete Doherty Has Found His Asking Price

Last week Pete Doherty performed at a girl's birthday party for $200. Since then he has been bombarded with offers from other girls also wishing to have him perform at their parties. Over 500 people have asked him to perform for the fee said his manager. This of course represents an increase of 500 from the previous week when no one asked him to play anywhere, except of course for the various judges who keep letting him out of jail. I'm sure he gave them a very special performance.

Apparently the father of the little girl approached Pete on the street. No word on whether Pete was asleep at the time, and said his girl was a big fan. After assuring him that Pete could do all the drugs he wanted at the little girl's party, Pete accepted the gig and was a big hit. Some partygoers thought he was the clown sent to blow up balloons and turn them into dogs, but Pete took it in stride.

The girl was a big hero to her classmates because they had never got to see a strung out junkie perform live for them ever before.

Cousin Eddie Really Is Crazy

I'm guessing that maybe Randy Quaid does have a plastic plate in his head, much like his character in the Vacation movies. What I am about to tell you is extraordinary because it almost never happens. Randy Quaid was kicked out of the Actor's Equity Union for life. Now, this isn't SAG, but it is pretty big. Do you know how bad you have to f**k up to be kicked out? And then to take it a step further, to be kicked out for life. Here is what happened.

Lone Star Love was a Broadway bound show having its test runs in Seattle to make sure it really was Broadway worthy. Cry Baby will be doing the same thing later this year in La Jolla, CA by the way. Johnny Depp will be showing up a few times to watch in case you want to get close and rub his head or something else for luck.

Anyway during the show's Seattle run, here is what happened as reported by the NY Post.

• Quaid hit an actor on the back of the head four times during performances. When the stage manager told him to stop, he smacked the actor again.
• Another actor was warned that if he made direct eye contact with Quaid onstage, he'd be fired.
• Quaid made "sexually inappropriate" comments onstage, repeatedly referring to an actress' musical instruments as her "gynecological instruments."
• The couple tried to rewrite the script, to eliminate characters.
• Randy "felt free" to change blocking, lyrics and lines during performances, and repeatedly failed to show up for note sessions and rehearsals.

Now, the couple that is referred to in the bullet points is Evi Quaid. She is Randy's wife and former limo driver. Quaid’s wife Evi turned up at the Equity hearing for Quaid and “berated several Equity staff members, including a 76-year-old receptionist whom she allegedly kicked in the shins, drawing blood.” Evi says Equity staffers broke her finger while trying to bar her from the meeting; others say she was a screaming lunatic raving about a “Nazi plot” against her husband.

It just shows that the Nazis didn't really care much for Caddyshack 2 like the rest of us. In addition to being banned for life, Quaid was also fined $81,572 and forced the cancellation of the show before Broadway and the loss of the $6.5M producers spent on financing the show. I'm thinking Randy isn't going to be on their Christmas card list. I think it was probably doomed from the start. Any production called Lone Star Love who throws Randy Quaid in the lead is kind of asking for it. Maybe a Dennis Quaid, yes, but Randy Quaid, I don't think so. Plus, it just sounds cheesy. Better to go down in flames in Seatlle than have the NY Times laugh at you when you open on Broadway.

Tom Cruise Lives Gay Man's Dream

Now that I think about it, dating David Beckham would probably be more of a gay man's dream than dating Cher, but honestly, you just never know. If there was no sex involved, then Cher might stand a little chance. Anyway, yesterday as Cher was doing her rounds for her 300th annual comeback tour. Yes, I do believe it is 300. Lets see, if she was born in the 1700's, and, then carry the one, yep it would fit. This is Cher's 300th comeback, this time in Las Vegas, and during her media blitz she confirmed that she once in fact had dated Tom Cruise.

Yes, back in the early 80's before Bagel Boy there was Tom Cruise spending the night and borrowing the car. I doubt they were friends with benefits because Cher isn't shy about saying what is what and she didn't go that far with her pronouncement. She instead limited her answer to they dated, and that Tom was "just the most adorable man you can imagine".

Well actually my imagination is filled with a drool flying rant aimed at me and you and you and you and even you Cher. But I will take your word for it that he must have done something to you or for you to make you call him adorable. Perhaps you held your car keys above your head and made him jump up and down for them until you laughed and laughed. I like to think that since this was the early 80's that maybe he did his Risky Business dance for you while you and your friends ate popcorn in your living room and threw him dollar bills. Considering that you were pushing 40 when you dated him and he was just starting out, that you practiced that really awkward love scene he has with Shelley Long in Losin' It. Yes, it had no "g" because it was hip and now and kind of resembled real life as Tom Cruise was doing it with a woman in her 40's and didn't really know what he was doing. Unfortunately it just looked stupid in real life, but to Cher, it definitely could have been adorable. I mean she was married to Sonny Bono.

Ted C Blind Item

Furrowed Frank is such a mainstay in contemporary entertainment, visible everywhere on screens big and small. ‘Course, many a pop culture aficionado insists what F2 does is definitely not entertainment, but it is. Indeed, the dude’s whole life is as meticulously written as his hair is coiffed. And that ain’t just my big-hair Texas exaggeration shootin’ off, trust.
Here’s how F2’s love life plays out, for ince. Oh, and need you even guess? Yes, bien sûr, F.F. is a closeted gay man, do they not make any other kind in this biz any more? I swear, I really do think we’re regressing since the time of Rock Hudson and that ersatz marriage to his secretary. I mean, get real. Andy Dick and his dubious hangers-on are practically the only friggin’ tier of boy-swingin’ guys to come clean, save a few souls like T.R. Knight, who was forced outta the closet, anyway.

Look, Furrowed had a b-f for a while, all fairly discreet 'n' stuff, never really got out there that much in the gay-sniffing zeitgeist that’s so increasingly prevalent...our apologies if this Vice department’s only expedited that dynamic, but I think it would have happened anyway. Now, F2 and his man have busted up. And since since Frank is under such tremendous pressure to perform before his mouthwatering public, Franky-poo’s needs must not go unmet, correct?

Furrowed’s trainer sure seems to think so. The big ol’ cut and ab-perf hunk has taken it upon himself to procure dates for Furrowed. And the damn guy’s straight! But that doesn’t stop him from interviewing potential exquisitely muscled men on the floor of the gym where he trains F.F., usually beginning with a query such as, “How would you feel if a big celebrity found you attractive and wanted to go out with you?”

Initial response is key here. If the boy’s dark eyes (as they almost always are, as Mr. F loves him some Latino lovin’) light up instantly, that’s usually a signal to go to the next step, which is either making the intro right there on the gym floor, or an almost immediate dinner or coffee setup. See, F ain’t got much time.

We could blame it on his pressing and highly visible work schedule, s'pose, but that wouldn’t really be accurate. More to the nooky-crazed point would be that Frank is much more interested in moving on to the next bulging find his trainer procures for him—rather than getting to know any of the fixed-up fellas, at all.

How long will it be before one of the quickly discarded dudes gets supersteamed and goes to the tabs, we wonder? Not very.

Today's Blind Items

#1 This A list couple consisting of a B list film actor and B list film actress were spotted in a corner each taking one pill last night. No, they weren't vitamins, because if they were, why all the secrecy and trying to find a place where they wouldn't be seen. Also, vitamins don;t usually glaze your eyes over 30 minutes later.

#2 How much does a wife cost? No, not in spending and shopping and food, but rather, how much would you pay someone to be your wife? Whatever this former teen A lister, and now has been is paying, it must not be enough because his wife keeps threatening to walk out unless he comes up with more dough each month.

What Are You Doing March 2nd?

Well, I don't know what your plans were, but honestly, it is a Sunday, and what I am asking you to do is at night. 930pm at night actually East and West. What is anyone doing on a Sunday night at 930p? I will tell you what you are doing. You are sitting there on the couch, dreading the thought of your alarm going off in the morning forcing you back to work. You are savoring every last second of the end of your weekend and don't want it to end. You don't want to go have sex with your significant other unless it is out of the bedroom sex because you are afraid if you go in the bedroom you will fall asleep and it will be Monday morning.

Perhaps you spent all day at in-laws or other relatives you would rather not see. At 930pm on a Sunday night you are trying to erase the memories by easing into a bottle of Scotch. OK, at 930p if you are still drinking Scotch it probably is not really about easing into the bottle, but more about escaping the memories of your mother-in-law liking the other daughter-in-law better or criticizing your child raising skills.

If you have kids, Sunday night at 930pm is when you find out they had a report due in some class which requires you to make a quick trip to the drug store for paste and chocolate. I know, I know, but it is outrageous what teachers ask for. If you are lucky enough to have kids who didn't have an impossible assignment due, or forgot to tell you that you had to bake 200 cookies for the morning, then perhaps they are asleep and you are savoring that 30 seconds of quiet time you are allotted each weekend.

With all of that going on, why not spend it in front of the television watching Unhitched. It is a new romantic comedy from the Farrelly Brothers and it is on Fox at 930pm Sunday nights. Below is a behind the scenes look at the cast photo session. OK, I did it. Someone owes me a freaking dinner now.

I Love When Readers Are Spies

Readers who are spies are the best spies because you know who and what I care about and who the hell I could really give a rat's ass about. A reader weighed in about who he saw hanging out in NY at Fashion Week, and I will add my stuff in the italics.

Hey Ent-

I was at the Gramercy Park Hotel bar last night and saw a bunch of celebrities, though no one did anything foolish. Ellen Pompeo, her husband, (see and you thought no one did anything foolish. Well, Ellen might not have done anything foolish last night, but really every night she stays married to this guy is another night of foolishness so in all actuality, there is never a time for now that Ellen is not acting foolish. ) Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane were on a married couple double-date. (Did you get up close to Eric and check for any kind of scarring on the lips? I keep looking at photos and can't see anything. I mean I know he is not making it up, but you would think you would be able to see something. I think we are all just grateful he doesn't have a Joaquin Phoenix scar. The last thing I need in this world is to have dodge the films of two actors, three if you count Hugh Grant's teeth just because I can't concentrate because I can't stop staring at the scar or teeth. Did Rebecca eat? See, that would be big news. I would love to know if she ate a little and said she was full after a saltine, or if she is doing her In-N-Out type regimen some more and really gaining some weight. Go back to Ellen for a second. Did she look pregnant?) At one point Sean Combs came in wearing a tux (with one bodyguard) and hung out with them, and then Andre Benjamin came in and hung out with Combs. (I bet Sean doesn't like Andre hanging out with him because even though Sean wears a tux 24/7, Andre is such a better dresser. Sean is a guy who has the money to spend as much on fashion as any person alive and it shows. The problem is that Andre can wear anything and it just looks better on him, no matter what it is. ) Dylan McDermott was there wearing a suit and got the number of a pretty blond girl. (This is why Shiva needs to call me and just give up on the whole getting back with Dylan thing. Can't you see that he is just playing you when he needs a little loving?) The weird sighting was the alleged John Krasinski, who had the height, hair, and weird plaid jacket you would expect, along with girls introducing themselves to him, but...if it was him he is a lot stockier than he seems on TV. Perhaps he has gained a little weight? (Oh, that reminds me of something I need to post)

The World Of WD -- With Photos

ARRRGGGHHHH SSSSSSSOOOOOOOO SSLLLLLLLOOOOOWWWWWW......

The only semi interesting thing to happen last week was the Pauly Shore Birthday party... kind of a sad state of affairs. I was able to snap some pics but sadly, there wasn't too much to shoot. I was expecting something wild and weird, a party that only the Weasel could throw but
it was just your typical LA party.

Having a margarita for Jewels.
One of the girls I was there with had met Jeremy Piven before. At that time, Jeremy had walked up to her and said that she looked like his friend Janeane Garofalo. So when she saw Jeremy at Pauly's party she wanted to get a picture with him. When we walked up with the camera, his friend insisted that I get in too. He was actually really cool about it. She reminded him of the story and he looked at her and said, "well, you look better now." Ouch Janeane. Personally I think she looks more like Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Pauly blowing out candles. He insisted that all the beautiful women come up on the stage. I don't know if Gentleman Prefer Blondes but Pauly clearly does, lucky for me.
Pauly tries to kiss actress Steffany Huckabee. She was sweet about it but totally dodged him.
Close up on the birthday cake.

And that's the party. There was lots of 80's music which I love to dance to.

The highlight of my week was a baby shower for my friend who is expecting twins. It was a small gathering but it was at a lovely home. There were only 7 women and each one seemed to be in a different stage of life. Me, single and nowhere close to having a family; a girl, a little older who JUST got engaged; my friend who is due any minute; a woman who has 7 month twin boys; a woman who has two girls 6 and 4; a woman with one boy in high school and a girl in her first year of college; and, a woman who has 5 grandkids. It was so lovely to sit, swap stories and share with these women. Oh, and the food was to die for. I took 5 bags home.

Something Mooshki said last week really got me thinking. But more on that next week.

Oh, one last thing, since I'm working on producing this webseries I have been keeping on eye out for possible places to showcase it or competitions where I can enter it. Found this site, that just launched, and thought it was funny and really well done so wanted to share it with all of you. www.tastesliketv.com Hope you enjoy.

Bonnaroo It Is

After totally being underwhelmed by what Coachella is offering this year, I kept hoping that Bonnaroo would be able to pick up the slack and give us something in the US to look forward to festival wise. Until yesterday, I thought I would have to just skip the whole damn thing and head off to the UK for some lineups that actually have an impact.

Bonnaroo came through though. Besides having almost every act from Coachella on their lineup, Bonnaroo also added some impact names and some names that will sell tickets. I will be shocked if Coachella sells out this year. Oh, they might call it a sell out, but if it is, it will be because they reduced the number of tickets to where it could sell out. I can't even talk about it because I am so disappointed. They didn't even try at all this year. All of the people they normally ask to help them, never received a call. It was like they thought that because of their reputation, they could just gets acts to beat down their door and play. It doesn't work that way and hopefully next year they will go back to the way it was. Yes, they have some good acts that I want to see, but very, very few. To give you an example. I love Tegan and Sara. Love them, love them, love them. As much as I love them, I realize that most people have not heard of them. At Coachella they are billed 15th. At Bonnaroo which they are also playing they are billed 35th.

To provide a fair comparison I have provided lineups to both festivals. If you had to choose one festival, which would you choose?

Angelina Jolie Is Pretty Incredible Sometimes

I give Angelina Jolie a lot of crap and rightly so, I think for some of what goes on with Angelina and Brad Pitt and whatever happened with Jennifer Aniston. I am actually much more of a Team Angelina person than I let on but Brad Pitt kind of brings me down on them. I understand why he and Jen divorced. I mean Jen is and was whiny. Lets face facts that she i probably VERY high maintenance. Brad, not so much. I also think that when Angelina sets her eyes on you, that you are done. You belong to her at that point. I still don;t see the Brad and Angelina as a couple thing, but it obviously works for them.

My respect for Angelina comes from the work she does for the UN. There are lots of celebrities who talk the talk. When exactly is that Rwanda trip going to happen Paris? There are even some celebrities who take a jaunt through Iraq and Afghanistan to bases to perform for the troops. They are great and I love them and admire them for doing that. What Angelina does is one or two or even three steps further. She goes out away from the green zones and meets with real people in real streets and real homes and talks to people actually on the ground in Iraq from their government and other NGO's.

She is the one celebrity with the exception of perhaps Paul Newman who does the most for a cause. Her thing is refugees and she will travel to any country in any condition to use her celebrity and get something done. The fact that she is intelligent and knows what she is talking about, rather than just spouting some 3rd hand talking point about some political candidate who would be great for the environment, Angelina is respected on both sides of the aisle.

You know that she could be making another bad film somewhere and earning her $20M, but instead she is doing something that is much more important to her. There are reports that she gives away up to 75% of her income to charitable organizations, and the only reason it isn't more is because she keeps having kids and wants to leave them something.

Another positive aspect of her philanthropy is that she has pushed Brad Pitt to do something besides sit at home and smoke pot and remodel his house. Do you think Brad would be involved in Darfur issues or the rebuilding of New Orleans and some other things if it were not for Angelina? Nope, he would be sitting there glassy eyed with Jen just letting the world pass him by.

Which premiership player's girlfriend has been stoking up some WAG-envy?

The brave girl deliberately rolls up her sleeve - even in sub-zero temperatures - to show off her £20,000 Rolex to all and sundry.

George Clooney Tells It Like It Is

Whether you like or dislike George Clooney, he does have an opinion about everything and is not shy about expressing his opinion an issue if you ask. Actually he will tell you his opinion whether you ask or not, or if you are interested or not. He likes sharing, but only what he wants to share, which seems like everything but in fact really isn't. Want to know about Nicole Kidman's pregnancy or Darfur? Ask away. Want to know if he takes Viagra for threesomes, he probably isn;t going to let you know. I think that if a celebrity tells us a bunch of crap opinions that he or she has about issues we really care nothing about, then we as the public should be entitled to ask a few freebie questions that the celebrity would rather not answer. You made us listen to what you had to say, now listen to what we really want to know.

Anyway, in a recent interview, George confirmed out loud what has always been known without speaking and that is actors hate reality stars. Actually his quote was "There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on."

When asked why he looked down on them, he said no one respects celebrities who have no discernible talent. Now I don't know how that applies to some of the actors he has actually worked with in the past. If you get on a television show or film and have no discernible talent does that still give you beat down rights towards a reality star? What if the reality star ends up being nominated for an Academy Award? Still get to look down on them?

I agree with George by the way, and think we become way too enamored of people who just happen to be on a television show whether they have talent or not. I actually have more respect for someone who has won a reality competition like Survivor or Amazing Race because they probably demonstrated some sort of skill that you can respect rather than just being famous for where you happened to be raised or being photogenic enough that someone is willing to give you 20 people to choose from.

Chat Room

For those of you who are on tonight, you have probably noticed I am testing out a chat room. If everyone likes it, then it will stay. If you hate it, all you have to do is click on the green dot in the upper right hand corner and it will disable. It allows you to create any nickname you want without signing up, so, if for example you see enty or entlawyer or some variation of my name, it ain't me. This will also allow everyone who doesn't have a Google account to participate. I think it is kind of cool because there are no ads, no registrations, you can upload any video you want to see and share it with everyone, and if someone gets out of hand, anyone has the power to ban. The videos appear to work like a jukebox so it is first come first serve. If someone posts a bunch of porn, just click the red flag on the video screen and the video will go bye bye.

If you have your own blog or something, you can click that embed button on the chat room and it will magically transport the entire chat room to your own site so you can keep track of what is going on.

Anyway, just wanted to provide another way for everyone to communicate with each other.

Today's Blind Items -- Kindness

Wow a kindness at Fashion Week. B list actress who does television most of the time. She might actually be C list but she has a fairly unique look and had one show which gives her staying power for a little longer. Plus one very memorable episode on a great show. Didn't actually happen at a show so I will save you the time of wading through all the actual shows. This was a party. Happened in the restroom. Our actress was standing at the sink with another woman and chatting with her. The woman said she was leaving on an international flight and was already running late. The woman left. A minute or two went by and as our actress was leaving she saw a purse on the sink. She knew from her chatting that it belonged to the woman she had been chatting with. She grabbed the purse and made her way back into the party. The place was packed and she couldn't see the woman. She remembered that the woman was leaving to go catch a plane and so went outside to look. All of the cabs were about a block away all lined up and she saw the woman about two people back from getting into a taxi. Our actress took off down the street. After about three steps one of her heels broke and she went tumbling down onto the pavement in her designer dress. She took off the other heel and went running down the street yelling the entire time. If this were a movie she would have only caught the woman at the airport or something, but the reality is that everyone waiting for a taxi looked up including the owner and she actually realized at that moment she had forgotten her purse and headed back to the actress. Our actress had a ripped dress, no shoes, and a scraped hand but delivered the purse to the woman. The woman was extremely grateful and said the flight could wait, and that she wanted to make sure our actress was ok. They took a cab back to the party where the woman made sure our actress got her hand looked at by someone and made sure she got back with her friends okay as well. The woman offered to pay for new heels or dress, but our actress declined.

Jamie Foxx on the set of his new film. The premise is he is a homeless musical genius.
Homeless until Robert Downey Jr. finds him and begins to help.
You know that I love Heather Graham, but this outfit just says whoever gives me the best offer goes home with me tonight. And is that pose her version of sexy?
Practicing for later. I know I know. The ban. But come on. I didn't say her name and how can you possibly just ignore this photo? You can't. It's priceless.
I think Amy Winehouse looks great, BUT I also think she needs to go spend the next month in that rehab and not leave all the time. No one actually stays in rehab anymore. It is distressing and I think results in more return visits which of course could be the reason rehab places do it this way.

I am going to take a shot in the dark and guess that Christina Aguilera might be breastfeeding her child. Just a guess. Nothing to base it on. Just a supposition if you will.
The dress is too long. I can't see the knee pads.
I was going to make Counting Crows another music photo, but the thing is I have a rule. No snarkiness on the music photos. Even if you hate them or what they are wearing you just leave it alone and find the very best possible photo of the performance. I just couldn't do it with this photo. Adam Duritz is a guy who slept with Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox in the same week at the height of their fame. He is the poster child for what is wrong with pot brownies and late night snacking.
So, pretend you don't know who the Hitler Youth are in this photo. If you just saw this photo and didn't know anything about either one of them you would think the guy on the left is the gay friend to the girl. Or the gay brother. Sure, I could see that. Gay cousin. Maybe. Stretching it a little now.
I mean sure the old guy is digging dating Salma Hayek, but she doesn't look too thrilled. She also looks like she wants to wear those tight clothes too soon. I feel like my clothes are too tight when I look at her.
Can you make money selling umbrellas? Seriously, it sounds kind of like a big no to me. Living in LA, I never carry an umbrella. When it rains I get wet. When I am in NY, I don't carry an umbrella. When it rains there is a guy on the street every block selling umbrellas for $5. I haven't checked, but I'm guessing Rihanna's umbrellas are going for over $100 at least. That just seems like a big waste. I think Macy's made a really bad decision. Some guy heard the song and thought it would be great, but who the hell wants to spend hundreds of dollars on an umbrella?
In case you were wondering what happened to the former Mr. Jimmy Choo. Actually I think Mr. Mellon has started a line of clothes with his new girlfriend here Noel Reno.
Jordin Sparks should be grateful the Super Bowl was on Fox or she would have completely left the public eye. Now if she can just hang on until American Idol brings her on to sing than maybe she can make it to 16 or 17 minutes.

Talking About Conservatorships Without Breaking The Ban

I have received lots of e-mails about the current proceedings in regards to she who shall not be named. Without mentioning her name, lets take a minute and talk about conservatorships. For the sake of clarity, lets call our subject BS. I know some of you don't really know much about conservatorships, but honestly, you can get a much more elementary definition of one somewhere else other than here. This is what fascinates me legally about this case, and something which happened which is very rare.

The first thing you need to know about anything is that a person can do whatever the hell they want with their money and their life as long as they are competent to do so. You might think that your 80 year old dad is crazy for spending millions on the 22 year old hooker he met in Vegas, but unless he is crazy the court isn't going to stop dear old dad from blowing his millions. Yes, someone might come on here and say something about him being influenced and yada yada yada. Yes, it is in the code, but it is not reality.

Therefore that brings us to BS. She can do whatever the hell she wants with her money and do whatever the hell she wants to do to herself. The only chance you have is to have someone declare her incompetent or get her to check into a mental facility on her own. Voila. They talked her into it. Now comes the very rare part.

The way it works with conservatorship hearings in LA is this. If there is an emergency you file an ex-parte application with the court and 99.999999999999999% of the time the court schedules a hearing for within 5 days of the application. 99.999999999999999999999% of the time they deny the temporary conservatorship until AFTER this hearing within 5 days. Why do they deny it? Because the court is taking away the rights of someone and that someone isn't there to say no. You can do a ton of damage in 5 days. In BS' case though, the court said yes, and then set a hearing for a few days later. They said yes. I have NEVER heard a yes until this case. Granted I don't do very many, but it is freaking rare.

Now, during that 5 days you let BS know what is going on, and the court sends out an attorney who is there for the crazy person. Most of the time the crazy person can't afford a lawyer and so the court sends someone out to determine if they are indeed crazy and to make sure they are represented. This is a very quick turnaround. In BS' case I believe it was 3 days, 2 of which were the weekend.

We call the attorney representing the crazy person a PVP attorney. At some point BS hired her own attorney, BUT the report of the PVP attorney will still carry the most weight. The PVP attorney in this case though BS was crazy and so allowed BS' dad and his lawyer to act as temporary conservators of the person and estate. That means they get to be in charge of her medical decisions (person) and money (estate).

A temporary conservatorship generally expires within 90 days, but actually expires at the time of the permanent conservatorship hearing. That hearing is more like a trial and the arguments of the attorneys will be supplemented by the report of a probate investigator. That person normally checks out the house of the conservator (BS' dad) and the living conditions of the conservatee (BS). They want to make sure that the conservatee is not being locked up in the cupboard under the stairs.

At this point BS' dad won't have to account for any money he is spending or anything like that. It will just be a decision whether to keep the Conservatorship in place permanently. When I say permanently, what I mean is until BS can find enough doctors who say she isn't crazy. Then she would ask to have the Conservatorship terminated. At that point she would also ask for an accounting of everything dad did, and attorneys would all clamor for their fees. An accounting would also be required if it lasts longer than a year.

This conservatorship will not last long at all. Courts hate them unless they are totally necessary. BS will find 100 doctors who will testify she is sane. At the very worst what will happen is that it may stay in place, but an independent person would be named conservator. Now I kept using the word crazy, but it can be as simple as a person who doesn't remember what they own or what they have or how to manage it. You usually see that with the elderly. BS isn't old and crazy is much easier to type.

Is This Where Isabella And Connor Go To School?

The NY Post has jumped on the I hate Scientology bandwagon and have published part of an interview they did with Jenna Hill Miscavige who is the niece of the Grand Poohbah himself.

Jenna came out last month and publicly supported Andrew Morton's book as it dealt with Scientology and immediately thereafter was basically crushed to non-existence by the Scientology folks. That is awful and if you want to read about it, click on the link above.

What I found fascinating is this. Jenna is currently 24 years old. In the year 2000 her parents left the church. You know a church must suck if the brother of the leader wants to leave. Jenna however decided to stay in the church. So, Jenna made this decision at say 16 or 17 years of age. Fine. The church put her in a boarding school. A Scientology boarding school. She stayed in the school until 2005 when she finally left the church. That means that even though she was 21 or 22 years of age she was still stuck in a boarding school. Obviously this is beyond high school, so what is it? Do they have a university or are they just using the opportunity to train their new leaders, or are they being probed by aliens? What are they doing?

While at the boarding school, Jenna was only allowed to see her parents once a year. This, despite the fact that for much of the time she was there she was over the age of 18. She also said that every day was uniform inspection day and that if you failed, that sometimes you would have a five gallon bucket of ice water dumped over your head. Again, this went on even though she was in her 20's.

"We were also required to write down all transgressions . . . similar to a sin in the Catholic religion. After writing them all down, we would receive a meter check on the Electropsychometer to make sure we weren't hiding anything, and you would have to keep writing until you came up clean. This is from the age of 5 until I was 12."

Presumably it stops at the age of 12 because even at that point the kids realize that the damn thing is just a toy hooked up to a bunch of wires and that they were basically scaring the kids into writing down all their sins. Now, unlike a priest who has no idea who said what for the most part, what do you think happens to all these things the kids write down? Jenna doesn't say, but what do you want to bet that Tom Cruise lays in bed at night and rubs them all over himself? OK, maybe not, but someone somewhere in the church is probably keeping these things and when the 10 year old boy starts making money in his 30's, the church comes knocking on his door for a little handout. If they don't get it, then ooops, everything released. Life ruined.

Really nice people these folks aren't they?

Don't even get me started about how they separated her from her parents when she was 12 because they were being a bad influence on her. Read Jenna's letter to the Scientologists here.

How Many Ways Can You Exploit A Child?

However many ways that you can think of to exploit a child, Larry Birkhead has you beat. In the year since her birth, Larry has been out and about selling photos of Dannielynn each and every time the rent is due. From her christening to Father's Day and that Arbor Day tribute to Mel Torme, Larry has thought of everything and will stop at nothing to squeeze a few bucks out of his kid. This new one though is probably his biggest ploy at money. I think the tabloids were getting kind of tired of the same old same old from Larry and want something more. Since, Dannielynn is too young to get a tattoo of her mom, then he thought of something just as horrible.

Larry took Dannielynn to Nassau to go and visit her mother's grave and her brother's grave. You might think to yourself that is kind of sweet and touching. It would be if he hadn't brought Entertainment Tonight along with him. That of course means they paid for his trip, probably some gambling and made a nice little deposit in that offshore bank he probably has.

Get this line he told ET about the visit. "It's tough. Even though she doesn't understand, it was important for us to come. One day I can tell her that we went to visit her mom."

One day? Hell, she will be visiting her mother's grave every year if there is a paycheck in it for Larry. He acts like this is the only time she will ever visit her mom's grave. If the paycheck is big enough Larry would have her dancing on the grave and pass it off as some tribute to her mom that Dannielynn wanted to do. I am actually quite surprised he hasn't figured out a way to sell tickets to her grave. He doesn't does he?

I Think Lindsay Lohan Has This All Wrong

Lindsay Lohan is blaming her drinking on her father. I agree that the guy could force anyone to head for the nearest bottle. The thing is, Lindsay told Harper's Bazaar that the reason she got into so much trouble was that she missed her dad while he was away in prison. "Not seeing my father was really hard for me."

So, I guess she never drank or anything until he went away to prison. She was the perfect angel until that time and then just couldn't cope and started drinking and doing drugs? Oh, well that would make sense if it were true, but the fact is that she was drinking and doing drugs and way out of control well before he went away to prison. His going away to prison is just an excuse to rationalize in her own mind her behavior. She also blames the paps for her problems for portraying her as "drunk during the day," when in fact she claims she was never drunk during the day. Oh, well then you must be f**king perfect because you only drank at night. She also neatly dodges that one by never saying yay or nay to whether she would do drugs during the day.

Here is my thing. If she is not awake during the day to drink or do drugs because she is sleeping off the activities from the night before I don't think you should be giving yourself a big attaboy for not getting hammered while sun is shining. The problem with Lindsay is that she never ever blames herself for any of her problems. She always wants to blame everyone else and that she is not responsible at all for making the decisions she made.

Instead what she is doing is the same thing Paris Hilton tried which is to go around and appear to be the good person and that you are doing all the right things and staying out of trouble and trying to get the world back on your good side.

As I am typing this I am thinking to myself how messed up her relationship with her father must be and how I would love to know everything about their relationship. Just imagine if she really was sitting at home at night in the dark, all alone drinking herself into a stupor because she couldn't see or talk to her dad. By the way, last I checked prisoners can make lots of phone calls so I don't get the whole wasn't able to talk to my dad for two years thing. And yes, she said phone in the interview. Anyway, is she trying to say that he is the good influence in her life and that without his guidance is a miserable addict?

Wow. She really needs to think through that whole thing.

How Much Does Annie Liebovitz Charge?

Is Vanity Fair running out of money? Yesterday Vanity Fair announced they were not having their annual Oscar bash, and instead suggested that all people who would have been invited, just sit at home and eat Chinese in bed and watch the telecast. Oh sure, Vanity Fair said they were doing this because they are on the side of the writers and actors and that they could not in good conscience throw a party even if the strike is settled.

Ummm. Excuse me. Wouldn't the strike ending be a great reason to throw a party? I know you were going to have the party at Craft which has to be the worst excuse for a restaurant known to man, but still, an outright cancellation? I would understand the announcement if you thought the strike was going to continue, but all signs are saying it will end soon. I actually think there will be a back to work order given after this weekend, but that the writers will not vote to accept the deal once it is put it in front of them.

What that means is that everyone will go back to work because the bosses think it will pass, but then once the rank and file see it they will say, this sucks like the DGA deal and then reject the deal.

Anyway, back to Vanity Fair and their poor excuse. I understand that deposits are probably due and all of that, but don't you suppose that Craft if it is still in business next year would let you roll over those deposits to a party for next year of the strike was not settled? Don't you think they would want to be seen as good guys also and have the chance to be the host of the party?

I think that under these tight economic times, Vanity Fair decided they didn't want to spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars the party cost and said this was a great excuse not to have it, but they needed to hurry because they would look like asses if the strike ends this week and then they cancel the party.

What Do You Do If You Have Cancer And No One Notices?

What happens if you discover that you have a malignant cancer, are an actor, get treatment, and no one ever notices? Well, if you are Eric Dane, you let a tabloid know about it. Look, we all know Eric Dane is a great guy. There was the kindness item, plus he is married to Rebecca Gayheart which cannot be easy. Yes, she is gorgeous, but to put up with her everyday is a kindness everyday of his life.

What I can't understand is why, without any prompting and definitely not done as a PSA, did Eric Dane decide to let us all know that he had suffered from skin cancer and received treatment? According to OK!, Eric Dane was diagnosed with skin cancer last month. Eric became concerned when he noticed an unusual patch of skin above his lips and immediately sought medical treatment.

"I went to my dermatologist. He said it was malignant tissue caused by sun damage." Doctors treated the growth by freezing it off with liquid nitrogen and Dane admits it was a traumatic procedure. He adds, "My skin is very sensitive and my lip was traumatized by the procedure I had to go through. I didn't eat very well for a couple of weeks and lost a bunch of weight."

Eric says he dropped about ten pounds during the ordeal, but is now fine and everything is normal. If Eric had found someone at the American Cancer Society and said, "hey, I had skin cancer and beat it, and want to do a PSA about early treatment or whatever," I would applaud him. The fact is though that the only people he told were a tabloid. That is fine I guess, BUT, then later he can't go around complaining that tabloids never leave him alone or they are too invasive. He has set the precedent that they should know intimately personal things about celebrities if he is the one going to them without any prompting. If they start asking questions to his wife about her life and medical conditions, he can't be pissed. He has said by going to them that they have the right to this information.

What Justin Timberlake/Britney Spears story is too vulgar even to make it as a Gatecrasher blind item? Read the Rolling Stone cover story on Friday to find out! (Don't eat beforehand.)

Today's Blind Items

OK, this one could get confusing, and so I may need to make things more clear at a later point.

This involves two actresses and one actor as well as a dude. Not a dude as in Big Lebowski dude, but just a guy. He actually does things, but no one will know what he has done, so it is safe to call him a dude.

So, actor #1 who is a well known B list television star on a hit network drama was dating this major award winning B list actress (#2) who has been as successful in television as she has in films. They were dating for about a year, and things were going really well which made a nice change from her previous relationship which the world never stopped talking about. Anyway, she thought things were going well until her boyfriend hooked up with this B list actress (#3) who used to be A and is quickly dropping to C. This B list actress like someone last week is known for one role, and one role only. No matter what she does it will be this one role everyone remembers. #3 is also married which kind of complicates things. #2 got out when she heard about #1 and #3. #1 and #3 have kept their little thing going despite the marriage that #3 is in.

Random Photos Part One

Amber Tamblyn always gets the top spot. Always. Throw in some Marion Cotillard and really you can't go wrong. ECA.
This photo was taken by Morgen who is a fan of the site and is taking some photos at Fashion Week. You can read Morgen's blog here. Anyway, Morgen said that Amy Smart was in tears while this photo was being taken and looked really upset. Tears and upset usually go hand in hand, but not always. I recall women telling me there are such things as tears of joy. Considering that no one is really ever that happy to see me, that would be a new experience. Anyway, I can't imagine how bad the fashion is that it would make Amy cry. Guess I need to check on that 20 year relationship of hers.
Arrested Development in Sydney.
Eric Dane shopping at the same Calvin Klein store in New York that had seen Fergie in it all day. They cleaned it all out and then customers were allowed back in. I guess Eric was the first to brave it, but I heard he lit a match and that made it better.
Look. I know I am wrong a lot, but I am telling you that last year at Fashion Week I know what I saw and I am telling you that there is something fishy going on here. How about a beard? Anyone got a beard?
Its not that Fergie doesn't have a nice body. She does. If you can get past the whole Adam's apple thing, she has a nice body. It is just the face that makes a person shudder.
For once it really was as cold in LA as the outfits dictate. Hell, I5 was closed for like 24 hours because of snow. Actually it closes down because of snow even when it is pretty warm down here in LA, but I needed a reason to show Emmanuelle Chriqui so the snow and cold thing seemed good to me.
When I look at these three, I think back hair. Don't know why but I do.

I just needed an ugly photo of Tyra Banks to have on hand. No caption, just needed something to put in my files and figured you could say nasty things about her if you wanted to vent about someone.
Of course you could save your comments for Omar Bin Laden. I am not quite sure why WireImage has all these photos of this guy unless he bought them or something, but it is just kind of odd. That is his wife Jane Felix-Browne.
So I have this love hate thing with Mandy Moore and this week it is a love thing. I can totally be in love with her one week and then the next I think she looks stupid and ridiculous and wonder how she is a star. This is the week where I think she is incredible.
Never incredible is Mischa Barton. Looks like a baby bump. She must have had a cracker or something for lunch to go with her ice cube.
I am going to guess a belt strap to the face. I don't think it is quite right for a curling iron, but I could be wrong.

Avril Tries The Tyra School Of Management

Apparently Avril Lavigne knows how to piss off her employees as much as Tyra. Imagine the nerve of employees who actually want to get paid what everyone else gets paid. Oh, its all well and good to go off singing about how everything should be equal just as long as it doesn't actually involve anyone working for you.

Avril Lavigne has been forced to renegotiate all of her contracts with her back up dancers. The reason? No one wanted to go on tour with Avril because she pays such miserly wages.

The Dancer's Alliance, an organization which looks after dancers' interests, accused the star of paying her employees wages below the industry rate and demanded all wannabes stay away from the try-outs - which were due to be held today at the Hollywood Dance Center in Los Angeles.

Avril's people didn't want to back down and were sure they could find someone or some agency which would be willing to do the work for poverty wages. Guess what? They couldn't, so late last night they canceled the auditions. Allegedly they are going to negotiate in good faith with the Alliance. My guess is they are asking themselves if they need to actually have dancers for their show, and if so, why can't they just hire some dancers from another country?

Why can't they just start using dancers from India? Hmmm? The dancers from India can do the almost the same moves and cost half. Outsourcing dancers has never been done before, but Avril and her people would have no problems being the first. Anything to keep her money close to her. She gives Mr. Krabs a run for his money.

Do You Want To Talk To Jerry Hall About Erectile Dysfunction?

After thinking about trying to dress up Jerry Hall in a bikini and having her sell Levitra to men to improve their erectile problems, the makers of Levitra got an idea. I am not saying it is better, but it is definitely interesting. They want Jerry Hall to travel the country and find women to talk to about problems their man is having with getting it up. I am assuming that she will also talk to gay men, although the release I saw said women. I'm sure the advertisers or the company or whoever came up with this idea thought that this would encourage women to get more involved in this discussion at home and would basically lead to more nagging until the guy gave in and bought Levitra.

Instead what is going to happen is Jerry Hall is going to get a bunch of women on tape throwing their men under a bus. Oh, it will start innocent enough. She'll ask a question about whether her man is ever tired or stressed and the next thing you know, Jane S. from Rapid City is telling the world about how her husband Tarzan never got it up for five years until Levitra. Well everyone in Rapid City who sees this is now going to laugh at Tarzan every time they see him until at some point he snaps and the next thing you know his neighbors will be saying that he was kind of quiet, but seemed pleasant enough.

Recycle All Those Angelina Pregnancy Stories

As I have told you before I really don't care whether Angelina Jolie is pregnant or not. What I do care about though is having to sit through nine months of the same damn stories as last time she was pregnant. It has already started and I think it should stop. Now. I saw my first Jennifer Aniston is really upset article and almost screamed. Can you guess how the article reads? Of course you can because you have seen the same damn thing a million times. Oh, there are different versions of course. Holiday upset, baby upset, anniversary upset, the list goes on. All I know is that you can expect to see this crap for nine months, and the thing is someone must care or they wouldn't print it. I have been doing my part in not printing any Britney stuff, but she is accounting for about 60% of all gossip right now. 60%!! That is ridiculous that one person commands that much space each and every day.

Anyway back to the Jen thing. Lets take a look at the first few paragraphs.

Jennifer Aniston is "really upset" Angelina Jolie is pregnant.

The former 'Friends' star, who divorced Brad Pitt in October 2005 following five years of marriage, is said to have taken the news of Angelina's alleged pregnancy extremely badly.

A source close to the actress said: "Jennifer is putting on a brave face, but inside she is really upset. She wasn't prepared for how she'd feel when she saw the pictures of Angelina and her bump."It took her by surprise because it was further proof of just how much Brad has moved on with his life compared to her."

The article comes from Star Magazine in the UK and just goes on and on and on with the quotes about how she and Brad would still be together if she had got pregnant and she regrets not having kids and blah blah blah. You know the thing is it all sounds so whiny, but I have no doubts that she just whines and whines and whines all the time so you know it fits. She has probably said these same things repeatedly to David and Courteney to the point where they are probably even more sick of it than you will be reading about it for the next nine months. The only way for this chain letter of gossip to end is for Jennifer Aniston to finally find a guy and stay with him and then after about a year all of these damn whiny stories will be done. Finally. Then we can move on to something that really matters like why David is still married to Courteney.

Finally A Good Marketing Decision

You know I am not the biggest fan of stars and celebrities having their own clothing lines and selling perfume and cologne. Yes, it generally makes them more money, but 95% of the time it is a product that doesn't need to be made or isn't all that great. I do think celebrity endorsements can be a very good thing and as much as I rag on Jessica Simpson, I think that whole Proactiv thing she did was one of the very best moves of her career. She had an acne problem, found a product she liked and has made a few million while getting herself on television for 30 minutes at a time.

Likewise, I think Fergie being the new spokesperson for MAC Viva Glam is one of the better moves of her career. Fergie has a beauty problem, found a product that covered her face to the point where at least mirrors don't break around her, and so now she is getting paid some bucks to endorse it. Now she won't be on television 30 minutes at a time, but I think exposing her to that kind of lighting for that length of time would show that no makeup line can be that good when it comes to Fergie. Better to keep it limited to photos and a quick glimpse of her in a 30 second commercial surrounded by people who do look good with or without makeup.

"MAC picks people like RuPaul, Mary J. Blige - people that are a little controversial and aren't afraid to speak their minds. I'm very proud to be a part of it."

What MAC does is pick people who wear a bunch of makeup for this particular line. Dita von Teese was the spokesperson last year. Dita wears a ton of makeup. RuPaul? Come on Fergie. Wake up and smell the reality. You are a very nice person, but not the best looking person out there. You never wondered why applying your makeup always takes longer than everyone else? Why the photos you take have to be airbrushed more than is normal? Ok, ok. Maybe the people around you aren't sharing, but I am. You need lots and lots of makeup. This is good for you. I'm sure they will give it to you for free for life now and as you are close to your 50's you need all that you can get.

Jack Uses Viagra For Threesomes

I think everyone has known for sometime that Jack Nicholson uses Viagra. In past interviews he has said that he tries to get women to buy it for him because he is too embarrassed. At this point, the company probably just ships it to his house.

In an interview with The Guardian, Jack says that while he loves Viagra, the only time he actually takes it is during threesomes. He says at 70 years of age, he needs a little extra something to help him get motivated. I don't think Viagra is the only motivational tool Jack uses, but for now we will just stick with Viagra.

"I like to date a nice range of women each year, but I only use Viagra when I am with more than one."

Jack has five children with four women, and says that he has had actual sex with more than 2,000 women. I honestly think you would begin to lose count after 200-300. There are many times he has run into women that he has slept with and didn't remember sleeping with so I guess he just goes by some kind of average when calculating his total. Jack said in the interview that his life had been "one long sexual fantasy".

Baywatch Reunion

Yeah, yeah. Whatever. You try and take out your cell phone and take a photo while the judge is talking. Yesterday I was over at the courthouse and was trying to find a friend of mine for some lunch and wandered into this courtroom looking for them. As small and as squished as this drawing is, the courtroom is even smaller and squishier. Everyone is close in this courtroom. The first thing I noticed is this big head of dyed black hair with spikes. (#4) As I soon as I saw it was Nikki Sixx, I knew Donna D'Errico must be in the room somewhere, and she was. (#3)

I only stayed about ten minutes, and left when Nikki Sixx walked out to take a break, but what I saw was that #10 looked to be Nikki's top whore while #6 and #7 were just used when he was bored with #10. #7 was African-American, but also had a British accent, so I guess that would make her African-British which doesn't make much sense, so lets just call her black. She looked the nicest. The top whore and #6 not all that hot looking.

#5 was Nikki's bald headed lawyer, and quite possibly one of the most rumpled looking people in the world, especially when you contrast him with #8 and #9 who I swore were models but were actually lawyers. #8 was a guy and #9 a woman and they worked together, and hopefully for the sake of the world's future were also going to breed.

#1 was the biggest surprise of the day. #1 was Alexandra Paul who was there with her husband (#2) to support Donna. Alexandra Paul looks freaking amazing. When I got back to the office I had to see how hold she is, because she was just in jeans and a t-shirt and looked incredible. Turns out she is almost 45 and looks 25. That diet and crazy thing she does called exercise must have paid off because I will say right now she is the best looking 45 year old in Hollywood. She had on no makeup, no nothing, and had been sitting with Donna for probably 3 hours by the time I saw her, and she looked great. Her husband, also an athlete, looked a little puffy. Donna just looked tired. It looked like she was tired of being there. Again, she had no lawyer and seemed like the shy little flower in the corner. Nikki kind of dominated the room because he had so many people with him. By the way, Nikki looked like a guy who is afraid to let go of his youth. He was trying to wear jeans that made him look like an idiot, but it was the dyed black hair that has to go. Maybe it was because he gave it a fresh dye or something the day before, but he just walked around like an ass when he left the court room, and I could see him being a complete ass to Donna as well. I have also decided that she is probably not turning tricks on the side like Nikki has said in the past. Honestly, when you look at her, you don't see Baywatch or Playboy. Oh, she is pretty enough, but it is like she has no life at all inside. Just someone who is looking lost and this close to just breaking down completely. Plus, knowing what I know about Alexandra Paul I find it hard to believe she would hang out with someone who is turning tricks to make a living.

Oh, I forgot 12 and 13. From what I could tell, #12 was the husband who cheated on #13 with #11 who basically didn't even bother to get dressed when she came to court. You will be happy to know #13 seemed to be kicking ass because #12's lawyer was in a really bad mood.

Sorry if this wasn't clear. Generally every morning a judge will hear between 10-50 matters. Some last 30 seconds and some last fifteen minutes. Donna and Nikki were almost last on this last and so were having to sit through the entire calendar. When I saw them it was almost lunch, so they had probably been sitting there for 3 hours waiting their turn. #12 and #13 had four or five issues before the judge and so their attorneys were arguing the entire time I was in the courtroom.

Which popular TV presenter got so hot under the collar with his attractive girlfriend on a recent transatlantic flight, fellow passengers were left choking on their peanuts?

Today's Blind Items

Even though I am not at Fashion Week this year, there will still be some great blind items from there. Unfortunately, there won't be any today. My phone has been f**ked up all weekend. I suspect that when a phone is submerged within a Bloody Mary it is not really a good thing.

#1 You definitely go to rehab when your addiction costs you your baby.

#2 On Friday night this star pro football player was not recognized by any of the women he was hitting on, and so on Saturday night he brought a stack of trading cards and offered to autograph them for women when he gave them one. This time it worked and he got some action. Too bad he left his wife home. I'm sure she would have understood. OK, OK, he is a quarterback. That is all you are getting.

#3 You would think after the 2nd or 3rd abortion he has paid for this B+/A- cable television actor would stop using the line that he is sterile to women just so he doesn't have to use a condom.

Random Photos Part One

Silverchair in Perth
You might think what Lydia Hearst is wearing is ugly, but at least this year she managed to wear clothes to Fashion Week. Click on her label at the bottom and go back and see what she wore last year and it will make you forget that she is using the pockets on this dress as a pseudo bra.
Brad Pitt obviously really liked the wardrobe from the Jesse James film he did.
Vince Neil was the only person to wear a bra at the Playboy Super Bowl party.
Speaking of bras. Unfortunately Tyra Banks chose not to actually get in the fire with hers on instead of just throwing it in with the others.
Must have been one hell of a party with Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson there.
Karolina Kurkova realizes there are now photos of her being seen actually chatting with Mario Lopez.
If you guessed BJ from BJ and the Bear you really need to get a life. Of course if you said the guy from My Two Dads than you are really cool.

Why Was She Using A Microphone?

In case you are having a worse Monday than Britney Spears and need a laugh, here is the video of Paula Abdul singing her new "song." I put it in quotes because honestly I don't know where the line is between computer and real. When is something actually a song? I mean I guess it has music and at some point she probably tried to get out a few words that were spliced together to go with the music.

I'm also not sure why she is actually wearing a microphone since it is obvious she isn't singing one damn word. Either that or her lips just move at a different rate than the song. I also think Randy Jackson needs to keep his guitar playing limited to video games. Oh, I know he is good, but I just don't need to see him up there trying to relive his youth or showing off the moves he has been practicing in his mirror since he last got to play with Journey.

Nic Cage Invented The Internet

Well he hasn't made that claim yet, but give him another few weeks and he will. In an interview with Heart FM whatever the hell that is, Nicolas Cage says that he is the person who discovered Johnny Depp and that he was the one who made it all possible. That's right. If it wasn't for Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp would still be a nobody, undiscovered by the world. It was only through the grace of God and the shrewd eye of Nicolas Cage that the world was introduced to Johnny Depp.

"I met Johnny many years ago - he was a guitar player and had come to Los Angeles from Florida.

"We had a mutual friend and we were just playing Monopoly one day. I told him he ought to try acting so I introduced him to my agent and the next day he got his first audition and got the part.
He added: "Please don't ask me who won the game of Monopoly, though, I can't remember... it was a long time ago!"

Haha. Damn he is an ass. And how did you get your start in acting exactly Mr. Cage? Hmmm. Let me think about that. Ahhh. That's right. You started off in the business as Nicolas Coppola. Made sure everyone knew that until you got a few parts under your belt, and then became Nicolas Cage. That way we would all think you made it on your own.

Has anyone ever heard Johnny Depp relate that story?

The Katharine McPhee Wedding

I thought about just plain commenting on the Katharine McPhee/Nick Cokas wedding and then realized I didn't have much to say on my own because I really don't care all that much about them as a couple or her career. Then I read the article from People. (I am saying their name because I am going to post their article here, and I would hate for them to get more pissed at me than they currently are. Seems they don't like being called Kneepads Magazine. Go figure.

Singer-actress Katharine McPhee married producer Nick Cokas on Saturday in Beverly Hills, her rep Justin Gray Stone confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.

I guess when you are a PA on a Mickey Rourke film 18 years ago, you can call yourself a producer. Hell, this is Hollywood. Notice that even though he is this big-shot producer, it was her rep who confirmed it exclusively to People. I love how the whole world knew, but the rep only confirmed it with People, thus an exclusive. Wonder if People paid for the cake.

The 23-year-old American Idol season five runner-up and Cokas, 42, exchanged vows in a late afternoon ceremony at Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church.

"(Nick) is the love of my life," McPhee gushed to PEOPLE. "This is a once in a lifetime occasion and everything is just perfect."

Somehow I am doubting that Katharine stopped everything at any point on her wedding day to talk to People. What she did was have her rep make up how she was probably feeling. Does any other magazine use the word gush in a sentence? I also guarantee that 305 people coming to your wedding may be a once in a lifetime occasion, but I think we all know that more than one marriage is coming in her lifetime.

McPhee wore a strapless ivory Manuel Mota gown and Neil Lane jewels (diamond and platinum chandelier earrings and diamond and platinum bracelets), while Cokas wore an Armani tuxedo. Fellow season five Idol contestants Kellie Pickler and Mandisa were among the 305 guests on hand for the nuptials.

I hope Cokas didn't sweat too much because those rental people get pissed if you have sweat stains all over the jackets. So Kellie and Mandisa are the only friends she has left from the show. Nice.

McPhee and Cokas met in 2005 when they performed in a Los Angeles theater production of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Their union began as a friendship and blossomed when McPhee auditioned for American Idol later that year.

Their friendship blossomed when they went on a date and she told him that she made it to Hollywood. A 40 year old guy starring in a local production of the Ghost and Mrs. Muir can see a meal ticket when it is staring at him in the face.

The two quietly got engaged last year when Cokas presented her with a custom-designed round brilliant cut platinum and diamond engagement ring.

Which he is either still paying for or for which he borrowed her credit card or used all his allowance.

McPhee recently wrapped filming the Anna Faris comedy I Know What Boys Like.

That is the People Magazine way to say she has nothing else at all coming up and this wedding better get her some kind of project or she is going to be paying for that honeymoon with Playboy money.

Now, if you think I am a bit miffed about this whole thing, I am, because honestly when I met her last year I got the vibe that I had a chance. That is when I did that blind item that they were done. I think they were done at that point almost a year ago. I don't know what happened or how much ass Nick kissed over the past year, but he got her. Now if he could just get her some parts he could start working on that 50% of her earnings.

Positive Publicity Or Did He Really Care?

Ever since I heard about the memorial service over the Sony Lot for Heath Ledger, and saw the list of attendees, I have struggled with the question of whether Tom Cruise went because he wanted some good publicity, or if he was there to support Katie Holmes. Katie as you know starred with Michelle Williams on Dawson's Creek, but as far as I know neither Katie nor Tom had ever met Heath Ledger. The cynic in me wants to believe that Tom would never go to any other funeral of his wife's former castmate's former boyfriend. That side of me thinks he went because there was sure to be some positive publicity. In fact, only Kneepads Magazine was actually informed of the service in advance which of course would only highlight the positives. According to WireImage, Tom Cruise has never been photographed with Heath, and there is no indication they ever met, but then a part of me says, hey, maybe he really does care about Katie and Michelle Williams was important to her at one point, although again, Katie and Michelle had not been photographed together in almost five years, and then only in a cast situation.

I know, I know, the same could be said about Ellen who was also there, but I just don't get the, OMG, I need some good publicity vibe right now from her. I think she went out of a sense of she wanted to pay her respects. Perhaps that is the reason Tom went also, but now because of his crazy ass behavior, I will second guess everything he does whether it be good or bad to see if he has any ulterior motives.

How Long Is Long Enough

With Lily Allen being dumped over the weekend by Ed Simons I was wondering if in fact the miscarriage was a mixed blessing. No, I wouldn't want to see anyone suffer a miscarriage. I have seen the heartbreak it can cause personally and totally empathize with Lily. My question though is if Ed was willing to break up with her two weeks after the miscarriage, how long would the relationship have lasted if she had kept the baby to term and given birth? In all likelihood the only reason Ed stayed with her in the first place is because she got pregnant. Probably wanted to break up with her until he found that out and realized he would look like an ass if he did so. Makes me wonder though if there isn't some time frame that is acceptable for a person to stay with another person after a miscarriage. I somehow think Emily Post probably didn't get around to that one. In Seinfeld they came up with some time you had to stay with someone after you slept with them, but they also didn't say anything about a miscarriage. Olivier Martinez who is now back with Kylie Minogue had to decide the proper time to break up with someone after they had been diagnosed and recovered from breast cancer treatment. I just don't think you are ever going to make anyone happy with whatever time you pick. It might even be argued that Ed Simon caused Lily's miscarriage because they were probably fighting throughout the course of her pregnancy.
