Full Frontal Friday



Yes, it's the Mother's Day edition. Nothing like FFF to celebrate your mother. Hey, mom, here's a present it's peen on CDAN. Yay Mom!

Anyway, as you can see I have tried to stay topical and relevant and also random. Thanks again to all the readers who send in contributions each and every week.

These photos are completely NSFW and some may actually blind you. Please be of age, or at least pretend to be.

In the future, if you don't see a separate post, just look for a Daniel Craig photo in Random Photos and he will give you the link.

Four For Friday - Mother's Day Edition

This week, all the answers are mothers. Some are from AP, and there is also a jackass. I know all of you miss AP, but she's been working a bunch so it's a good thing. Still have that Martha Stewart photo in my head I guess.



#1 - This B+ film actress is married and as the first sentence suggests, is also a mother. Movies. Been in a bunch. Everyone knows her. Just not quite A list. She is also a jackass, or just has no manners. Picture this. It's a party and our actress is talking to someone and they are in the middle of a very important conversation when she spots someone who is more important. She grabs that person and starts talking to them leaving the other person standing there in mid sentence. But wait, it gets better. As our actress is involved in the second conversation, a third person even more important walks by and she grabs his arm and starts talking to her, leaving both the first and second person standing there. She turns her back to them and takes the other guy by the arm and walks away from the first two.


#2 - When it's AP, it can only mean the bathroom. Guys bathrooms aren't like this unless Russell Brand is in there. Oh sure, I mean there is usually a coke party, but that is kind of normal. Anyway, this former teen actress who has not worked as much the past few years is in the bathroom and is crying with a friend of hers. Seems she is crying because her husband and father to her child(ren) invited the woman he had been having an affair with to the event in which is he also brought his wife. She had not wanted to get divorced and so had agreed to an open marriage, but didn't agree to it being thrown into her face.


#3 - Do stepmoms count? I hope so because this wife of an A list film star has been sleeping with her stepson.


#4 - Also from AP, but not in a bathroom. Nope, this one actually took place in a kitchen at a dinner party. This wife and mother who is also happens to be a C list aging actress with B+ name recognition was having an argument with her A-/B+ list husband. They started out alone in the kitchen but as the yelling and screaming got out of control, several guests went inside the kitchen to see if they could help. Our actress had a knife in her hands. No, not a great big cutting knife, just a little paring knife, but she had managed to cut her husband in the hand enough where there was blood doing a nice job of staining the floors. When she saw everyone standing there, she dropped the knife, went upstairs, and composed herself. Her husband followed a short time later and they came back down and acted as if nothing had happened.

Random Photos Part One - With A Reader Photo

Quite possibly the photo of the year so far. Fred Armisen just cracks me up and the look on his face when he realizes it is Rupert Murdoch and his unsmiling wife next to him is priceless.

The lovely Angelica Huston.
Amy Poehler and pregnancy go very well together. When people say someone is glowing when they are pregnant, this is what they are talking about.
Alan Ruck. I do love Alan Ruck. I love how Michael J. Fox made everyone wear name tags.
CaCee Cobb and Donald Faison have been going out for what seems like forever.
Kelly Rowland - London

Wow. 70's flashback. James Taylor and Jimmy Buffett. Margaritas on me everyone. Need that three day drunk to deal with Mother's Day and all that therapy I can't afford.
So, who is the person who invited Ethan Hawke to the Time 100 Most Influential People?
And how come David Beckham wasn't there?
Crystal Castles - London
There was a time about three years ago when you could not turn on your television without seeing Martha Stewart. She's had a rough year and I'm glad to see her seemingly doing well.

Besides Zach Braff looking like a guy who just escaped into the light after a year, everyone else looks good. From L to R. Zach, Michael J. Fox, Tracy Pollan and Sarah Chalke.
Wow, Mr. and Mrs. Carey are already matching. I'm just waiting for the t-shirts with their photos on them.
Best I've seen Luke Perry look in a very long time.
This hardly seems fair. Luis Miguel is great looking, dresses well and sings great. I'm depressed now.
All of you should be thanking me that I used the shot of Teri Hatcher from a long way away. You really don't want the up close shot. Believe me.


So, you talked me into it.
It's the Downey's.
As you all know, I don't hold a grudge. Well, I do actually, but Penelope Cruz looks nice here. Now back to the grudge.
Hey it's the Naked Brothers. They are kind of like The Monkees to the Jonas Brothers' Beatles. I like how they are already making moves on an older girl. The problem is she's Coco Sumner, so I'm guessing better rock stars have already hit on her. How old is she anyway? I'm guessing 14 without looking, but someone is going to tell me she is 20.
ZZ Top & Jessica Simpson - Camp Pendleton


Zhang Ziyi looks great as always. Vivi Nevo might just want to give up and shave it all off because the placing of each strand of hair in position isn't working.
Whitney Houston - London
Tyler Perry definitely is an influential person. He's a genius actually. And rich.
Another reader photo. Have at it.

Your Turn

In this week's edition I'm contributing one of my favorite Muppet Mother's Day videos of all time. This week, plug anything, but you can also give a shout out to your mother, share some story about your mother, or just someone you feel is a mother f**ker. Really, it is all about the mothers.

How Do You Remember The Names

I know this video has been floating around the internet today, but I am still in shock that someone would be willing to have 18 kids in the age of birth control. It looks to me like all the kids are happy and healthy and seem remarkably well put together despite having what will be 17 brothers and sisters once this 18th child is born. The thing is, the mother Michelle Duggar says this child won't be the last. Well, all I have to say is she must clean up on Mother's Day.

Lindsay's Rep Backs Down A Little


As more and more people come out and talk about stuff Lindsay Lohan stole, her reps are starting to back off just a little. Yesterday, Lauren Hastings put herself back into the spotlight by talking about how Lindsay had stolen a closet worth of clothes while Lindsay was supposed to be protecting the house. In an interview with buzznet, Lauren reiterated the claims she had made to the District Attorney at the time of the incident.

"Basically, I have two closets, a lot of the stuff was missing out of one and the next closet was almost completely empty,"

"They all said they saw Lindsay Lohan basically in my closet, handing a bag of clothes to her bodyguard."

Now all of this happened while Lindsay was supposed to be house sitting and alone. Instead she had a party and stole all the clothes. And that isn't all. There will be lots and lots more coming out in the next few weeks.

In response to the Lauren Hastings comments, Lindsay's people were asked to comment and they said, "This is all not true. It's not what it seems." I love that quote. It's not all true. Well that means probably 99% is true and that maybe Lindsay took stuff from both closets and not just one. It isn't what it seems? That is great. I guess Lindsay was concerned about the clothes getting damaged during the party she wasn't supposed to be having so was probably taking them home for safekeeping. And why on earth do you need a bodyguard hovering over you if you are at a house you are staying at. I doubt that Lindsay is going to be the target of home invasion. House arrest maybe, but not home invasion.

Thanks Natalie


I'm way too lazy to look it up, but a few months ago I wrote a post about Wuthering Heights and how the UK was all in a tizzy because the producers were going to cast American actors. Well, they did cast Natalie Portman and she then proceeded to give them a list of demands which they met, and then after that she said she wasn't interested and backed out of the project.

Thanks a bunch Natalie. You basically have ruined it for everyone now. Instead of doing what you were supposed to be doing, you are probably back in New York hanging out with that tool of a boyfriend of yours who walks around with a c**k as his glasses. Yes, it's true, and odd that her boyfriend and another guy went sex toy shopping together. I don't know about the rest of you but when I go sex toy shopping I don't usually take along another guy.

Meanwhile because she told everyone she was going to do the part, Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley both have committed to other projects. Here is my advice to the producers. As I mentioned in my previous post there have been about 100 different Wuthering Heights projects. What I suggest is you go the Airplane! or Scary Movie route and just make it a spoof on all the other period pieces. Sure, no one will get your references, but throw in some nudity and some fart jokes and you will probably get more ticket sales than the way you are going now. I mean the only people who are going to see it are, well, honestly, no one. How did you get financing for this thing anyway?

Lainey Blind Item

I love how often the self righteous, artistic ones are always end up being the douchiest and the perviest.

The backstory:

Several years ago, while dating a high profile, fiery actress, he was on location shooting a movie and found himself one night at a local bar. A young hot thing approached, they flirted, they made the call, and pretty soon she was telling her friends she was heading home with the star, protected by both his bodyguards and a personal driver.

So they get back to his place, start making out, she services him with her mouth, and tries to get him to return the favour, at which point he balks and then, no longer blinded by arousal, finally gets around to asking her:

"Are you really 19?"

Well of course she wasn’t 19. She was actually only 16. And when her guilty face confirmed it for him, he quickly called her a cab and sent her home, not offering to pay for her cab. He did however offer to pay for the silence.

His security detail and the chauffeur, all of whom were witnesses to his tryst with the teen, were compensated handsomely for their discretion. They were so trustworthy that he wanted to use their services again when he returned to town for a new project recently. Unfortunately the same team wasn’t entirely intact.

So instead, now single, he went to great lengths to secure a very capable staff to make sure he didn’t find himself in the kind of icky underage situation as last time. Was like having a personal assistant for the express purpose of getting him head and occasionally laid. Only he was strict about wanting it from “real” girls and not from professionals. Every few days or so, his people had to scour the city looking a girl he could spend a short time with. They’d all start off at a group dinner, and by the end of the night, he’d end up sated at place. A few girls were lucky enough for repeats but effort on his part was never forthcoming.

Still… at the very least… he kept it legal.

Jessica Alba Working Hard For Her Baby Daddy

A month or so ago, I told you about Jessica Alba helping out her baby daddy Cash by starring in the videos for his new site. Well, apparently that must have worked out really well because now Jessica is in the staring contest and in what seems really unfair, in a contest for who has a photo with the biggest star. I think she kind of sold herself short by posting a photo of her standing next to Ben Kingsley. I still think adrian and her photo of Bono could win that thing.

Anyway, I did discover a whole new talent for Jessica. She actually is pretty good at this staring without blinking thing. Seven minutes without blinking while staring right into a camera. Oh, wait, that's her job. If the video below doesn't start, then click here.


Lauren Conrad Isn't A Very Good Friend


Lets say you go out to a bar with someone who is struggling with sobriety. Do you say to that person, "hey, lets drink some tequila shots?" I would hope not, but apparently Lauren Conrad had no problems doing just that with Lindsay Lohan. According to the NY Daily News, both Lindsay and Lauren were seen together knocking back shots of tequila at the Crown Lounge. Lindsay being sneaky, turned her back each time so no one could see. Of course, being the idiot she is, she failed to notice the big plate glass window reflecting her image to the rest of the bar. Even if it was Lindsay's idea and it probably was, what kind of person are you that you are encouraging it by knocking back shots with her. If you don't want to, you can just say you are about to leave. Don't give the person a drinking partner or an excuse to drink.

Now word comes that Lindsay has been dropped from her supporting role in Manson Girls. Maybe she should quit the drinking and partying so she could actually get and keep some work. Either that or she and her dad could start doing one night father daughter shows in casinos around the country. That would actually be kind of fun to see. Would be a train wreck, but fun. Watching Michael strutting around some Indian casino in the middle of Nebraska at the end of the show would even be better. Bet he would make people kiss his ring.

Let's Count The Cruise Stories


Someone is whipping up the Tom Cruise PR team because there is just story after story about him this week. After Monday's Oprah where the world celebrated the 25th anniversary of a high school student having sex with a hooker, the stores just won't stop.

The only actual "news" story was the fact that Paramount didn't have any objection to Tom Cruise starring in MI4. The only interesting thing about that story is that it came out last week before the Oprah interview, but hardly anyone noticed. So, what to do? Someone went back to Paramount and asked the same question again, and then in the wave following Oprah got it printed everywhere.

The Met Costume Gala was legitimate, except for the apparent 4 inches of height Tom gained in one day.

Then, later this week, we had Tom Cruise backstage at Hairspray fawning over the cast and probably hoping they would let him get out there and sing some songs and dress like a woman. He and Katie dragged along Suri and claimed it was her favorite video. She's 2. Any video will be her favorite video.

Kelly Preston came out and said that Tom Cruise was a pro when it came to the sex scenes in Jerry Maguire. Really knew what he was doing. Makes it sound like he's a real ladies man. Now where do Kelly and Tom know each other? Oh yeah.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of a high school kid throwing a party at his parent's house, Tom started his very own website. I am too scared to actually go on the site for fear winding up on a CO$ website somewhere being bombarded with questions about my crimes.

Kind of hard to believe Tom never had a website before this week.
And then finally, today comes the topper. The Tom and Katie are trying to have another baby stories are coming out. These are the favorite of the Cruise publicity machine because it shows that Tom must be meeting Katie in her bedroom or having her come down to his and that he is trying his hardest to get her knocked up. Please.

So, with all this publicity for one man, you would think he had a movie coming out. Ummm. Nope. Book? Ummm. Nope. Record? God I hope not. Garage Sale? Ummm. Maybe.

That is the crazy thing about all this is there is nothing for him to promote except himself and trying to restore his reputation. I wonder if it's working. With me it isn't, but the rest of the world might be buying it.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which precocious teen keeps telling her famous parents she's never tried drugs? Yet she has a £150-a-week coke habit...

When Rihanna Takes A Naked Cell Phone Picture She Goes All Out







Today's Blind Items

#1 - This A list film actor. I was thinking about it, but he definitely has opened movies on his own. Action though. That is kind of like women opening a horror film and being called A list. Oh, well, everyone knows him, and when I say know him, you know him. You know, (points eyes)down there. Well seems that our actor is a very generous sort to women on the street who he is attracted to. When he meets someone he likes and likes a great deal, he gives them his card. On the back of the card is a 1-800 number to a credit card concierge with a note that says, "buy something as beautiful and exotic as you... my treat xoxo". There is a pre-set spending limit on the gift.

#2 - What cast of a hit television show that is changing coasts is sitting in front of their computers right now reading this blind item? At least one of you has been a blind item, and one of you is permanently safe.

Random Photos Part One

In what used to be a regular sight, but is now limited to once every 120 days is the fabulous Lauren Graham and the soon to be 30 and looks 20, Ginnifer Goodwin.
The amazing Andrea Bocelli.
It's a Lohan. Ali Lohan to be exact as well as Taylor Swift. Neither looks particularly thrilled at this coupling, but Taylor looks gorgeous.
Not a big fan of Eva Amurri, but she does look really good here.

So are all of you happy that Clive Owen has made an appearance?
What about twice? Do you need more?
Tilda Swinton and Ben Barnes. Ben just looks thrilled, and Tilda seems to have a little smirk going on. Interesting.
Alexa Ray Joel & Billy Joel - New York
I like Julia Roberts but you could take this "serious" pose and put it in any of her films. It never changes.


Jason Lewis. Nothing to say really. Just knew you would like him.
It just kind of seems appropriate to have Harry Dean Stanton posing while lighting a cigarette. I mean do any of you think he would look cool sipping on Vitamin Water or something. I'm actually disappointed that the cigarettes are filtered.
The new and curvier Hilary Duff and Katharine McPhee. You know the scene in Better Off Dead where they are at the school dance and the band is playing. The lead singer of that group looks exactly the same as Hilary Duff here, except not as blond. That expression on Katharine McPhee's face is priceless. You know I like her so when I say that she looks vacant, I say it out of love.
That's got to hurt.

Did you hear Ashton Kutcher say he wanted to make a movie version of Punk'd? You know something with a bigger budget and more over the top.


So does this high waisted thing mean I can bring out my Sansabelt slacks also? I miss them.
Madonna on a world tour. Sticky and sweet seems kind of appropriate. Could have called it making out with a strange woman in each city tour, but couldn't get it all to fit on the poster.
The having fun photo of the day goes to Lake Bell.
I really do love Kellie Pickler. Wow, for a guy who doesn't watch American Idol anymore, you can tell I used to. This is the season that I stopped.

Hey, it's Nadia (I kind of look like a cross between Tara Reid and Carmen Electra) Bjorlin and the cheesiest guy around Brandon Beemer.


Mark Ronson - Amsterdam
Am I alone in liking Michael Madsen?
Where else are you going to see this photo of Morgan Fairchild in a lovely yellow dress? I would rather hang out with Morgan Fairchild than anyone from The Hills. I want my stars to be more than just great self promoters.
Matt Damon on the set of his new film.
This will probably be the only time you ever see Pierfrancesco Favino simply because his name takes forever to get right.


Hey Peter Dinklage. Yes, you are a very good actor, but it is okay to enjoy yourself. It's a premiere. You know, press, girls, guys, whatever you like and lots of booze. You are the center of attention for a brief few hours. Enjoy it. Embrace it, or go work at McDonalds. Not In-N-Out though. I don't want you ruining the experience for me. I like cheery.
They better use for their Christmas card this year. I almost didn't recognize Joel Madden without his RUN DMC suit on.
Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson. No embarrassing photos for Natasha last night.
Natasha Bedingfield. I feel like I know her so well.
This is Vincent Fantauzzo and he won the Archibald Prize as the People's Choice in Australia for this work of art. I love it which is why I put it in here.



Sting - New York
How sad is it that I know who like four daytime soap stars are. Here is one of the four. Susan Lucci.
Is this the same tub that Vanessa Lemon Jello and Nick Lachey had sex in, because Robbie Williams might not want to get naked in the same place.
Rose McGowan with a new hair color and a new foot accessory.


You know and I know we have a Britney ban on the site, and honestly I don't know why everyone makes a big deal about her being on How I Met Your Mother, but as a reward for doing so well with her recovery, and because Neil Patrick Harris is in the scene, here is a clip of her latest performance.


Nick Hogan Not Fighting Charges


TMZ is reporting that Nick Hogan is going to court tomorrow and is going to with plead no contest or guilty to felony reckless driving. The charge was a result of Nick Hogan racing another car and then crashing his own car and leaving his passenger John Graziano in a permanent vegetative state.

There was no deal involved and basically Nick Hogan will be throwing himself on the mercy of the court. Hey, it is a stand up move, and spares the entire family months of bad publicity that would come with an attempt to fight the charges.

Obviously I hope they are doing it because it is the right thing to do and not because they figured out they had no realistic chance of winning. This also makes the civil suit filed by the Graziano family almost a done deal as well since the standard of proof is much lower in a civil case.

Nick Hogan faces up to five years in jail, but I would imagine that the judge will not give him the full amount because he is coming in and pleading, and not attempting to fight the charges.

But What About Her 17th Birthday?


I admit it. I'm not proud of it, but I admit the fact that if I am stuck in the basement on a Saturday and MTV is showing that show about 16 year old kids and their birthdays that I watch it. I can't help it. I love seeing how the kids manipulate their parents, sometimes it seems to the point of breaking them financially and the way in which they treat their fellow students. Oh the joy they must feel making their guest list and deciding who gets in and who doesn't. Part of me is jealous that the only thing I got on my 16th birthday was a $20 check from my grandmother and part of me is just knowing that this is so wrong and so horrible, but I just can't stop watching.

Today in the Daily Mail I read about what I think must be a record amount spent for a 16 year old though. It was $400,000 for one birthday party and that doesn't even include whatever presents she got from her parents. The kid in question is the daughter of a guy who is worth about $20 billion so $400,000 is probably what he spends on tips each day.

Still though, it just seems wrong. Some of the highlights were the $240,000 he shelled out to rent the club Paper for the entire night. The gift bags? iPods and jewelery. The food bill was $140,000 which just seems outrageous. These are high school kids. How the heck can you manage to spend $140,000 on food for a bunch of kids who probably didn't eat much anyway. The tab also included non-alcoholic drinks and again, how can you spend that much when there is no booze in the drinks.

You could have just thrown out some pizza and cokes and I doubt the kids would have cared. The only thing they probably cared about was finding someone to make out with and trying out their new iPods.

At this point I think the dad has kind of set the bar pretty high for himself. I mean don't you think the daughter is going to even expect more and more each year? What about Christmas or graduation, and don't even get me started on her wedding. I know she probably goes to a school with other rich kids, but what if their parents have some common sense? Do you think their son or daughter is going to understand why they can't have a $400,000 party?

Well Sure. I Guess I Could Sell Some Towels


While stars and people who think they are stars are starting their own clothing lines or selling perfume, selling towels is probably not something they were really hoping they would be asked to do. I mean its towels. Brooke Shields was recently asked to sell some towels and she agreed. I guess it was a pretty big check. I can just see the conversation with her agent and managers.

She probably went on and on about how she was a model and knows fashion and that companies should be asking her to have her own line of clothes. I mean everyone is doing it. So, after a million phone calls and no one biting, they come back to her with the news that she is going to be something truly special. That she is going to do what no other star is doing and they being the best agents and managers in the world got her this gig. By now she is jumping up and down when they tell her with big smiles they got her a deal selling towels.

Can you just see her face drop? It must have happened. Towels? I mean who is going to buy towels because Brooke Shields told them to go out and get them? They then told her about the really big check and the smile got bigger again.

So, now Brooke Shields is the face of Royal Velvet luxury towels and well the world will never be the same again. I mean this is right up there with walking in space.

"At this point in my career, I only do projects I believe in. Royal Velvet made sense for me and my family because it felt authentic and it is a classic brand with amazing products."

She forgot to add the part about the really big check.

The World Of SJ

In my never ending quest to show you each and every side of the entertainment industry, I have found another guest blogger who plans to wax poetic about the world of high fashion. With all the attention and focus on the right size for runway models I thought I would let you read about the world of a model who does runway shows all over the world. "Discovered" just in the past year or so, she works almost every day, commutes between at least five cities and has been on the covers of magazines all over the world. All before she has even graduated from high school. I bring you the world of SJ.


In my industry, the biggest thing to remember is that you're nothing but a product.

You're disposable until you make a name/brand for yourself. I think with that knowledge, I'm able to better work the opportunities and the people in front of me. The problem is, no one tells you that. They want you to be a mindless walking clothes hanger and focused on nothing else.

Your career depends on the last thing you did and who liked it. Whether it's an editor of a magazine who can put you on a cover or an important photographer who wants to claim you as his "muse". Both bring work and stability in an industry that, by it's very design, is not stable or constant. It's always evolving and there's always a thousand hungry girls waiting for you to become obsolete.

As a little background, I'm still in my teens and I'm a junior in high school. Because of the success and opportunities I've had early on, my agency has urged me to move to Manhattan. My parents are very education oriented and the modeling world is extremely foreign to them, but my agency assured them I would have roommates my own age and constant adult supervision within the apartment and on the shoots, as well as tutors that would supply placement tests approved by my high school.

So, reluctantly, they agreed to let me go. Needless to say, I was thrilled with the whole proposition. I had never lived without my family or in a large city for that matter, and the idea of freedom (even if supervised) was exciting.

Well, things have not been quite as advertised, but I'll get into specifics at a later date.

But I figured a good introduction into the world that I live in would be this past Paris Fashion Week. It was my first real fashion week and to my surprise, I had booked every day solid without ever having stepped foot in Europe before. The agency was thrilled and I was quite pleased with myself. I had only been in Manhattan for a little over a week and I was flying off to Europe to model for the best designers in the game and to walk alongside the girls who owned the scene at the moment. I thought I had made it without even trying! Right.

I arrived in Paris and was told there was absolutely no time to go to the hotel, that I was needed at the first designers location for a fitting. I had one of the agency handlers with me (someone who is provided to underaged girls overseas who are familiar with the area and people), and he quickly ushered me into the backstage fitting area. I met the head designer for the fashion house (a name you all know), and was quickly given the once over by him. He seemed indifferent. That was quite the blow to the ego!

My handler then took me to one corner of the fitting area and proceeded to hand me a glass of champagne, a pack of cigarettes and placed a small bag of cocaine in my hand. He asked me if I knew what it was. I said yes. He asked me if I had ever tried it. I said no. He proceeded to tell me that the cocaine and cigarettes would help me keep my hunger and weight in check and that the champagne will help keep me full. He then turned around and walked away. I didn't see him again until the next fitting a day later.

The moment he walked away, I became instantly paranoid and started watching the other girls intensely. Almost every single one of them kept going over to a table that was situated near one of the corners of the room and had some security detail around it. Each one of them came back out of the corner playing with the noses or immediately looking into a mirror to make sure their nose was clean.

I've always been too stubborn to really give into peer pressure, and although the other girls were barely acknowledging my presence, I was starting to feel extremely uncomfortable. At that point, I started to notice a girl was shaking a bit while they were fitting her. She then started to shake uncontrollably and her nose was bleeding and she had weird foamy saliva coming out of her mouth.

One of the security detail came over to her, but he was brushed aside while they quickly, but carefully, took off the pieces they were fitting on her. When it was finally off, the security took her and put her in a back room. He was getting instructions from one of the designers assistants in French, which I didn't understand. But I was so scared I asked a French girl next to me who I had heard speak English earlier what was going on and being said. She glanced at me and said, "he was told to call the doctors once all the fittings were over".

Three hours later, all I could do was look at the door to the little room. Not a single person went in to check on her the entire time. When my fitting was done, I ran out of the area and jumped into the taxis that were waiting for us. I went straight to my hotel room and cried. It was at that moment, I realized that every single model is nothing until you MAKE people remember your name and face. Until you can DEMAND to be treated as something more than "just another girl". I flushed the cocaine and cigarettes down the toilet and went to sleep.

The next day the show started, and that girl was nowhere to be seen.

Kristin Davis Is Full Of Crap


In the new Sex And The City film, the director wanted his cast to get naked. Of course he would because I'm sure the 95% female audience of this film wants nothing more in life than to see Kim Cattrall walking around naked for the umpteenth time.

Kim gets naked, and the director knew Sarah Jessica Parker wouldn't because no one sees her naked. I wonder if Matthew Broderick has even seen her naked. Cynthia Nixon was a no, and so the director asked Kristin Davis to get naked for a shower or bath scene.

Kristin said no to the director which is fine and I don't really care because I'm not going to see the movie and really have no desire to see any of the four naked. What really ticked me off though about Kristin Davis is the answer she gave. The answer apparently was given before the naked photos of her in the bath and having sex were released and just goes to show you that things are not always as they seem.

"He tried to get me to be naked in that shower scene but I feel like I can't do that stuff. I feel really panicky about that stuff."

Apparently this is something new because obviously she didn't panic when she was taking the multiple nude photos of her just posing for the world to see while other showed her performing certain sexual acts. I'm sure she would say those photos were private and she had been drinking a whole bunch and now she is sober and just can't stand the idea of being naked in front of a camera anymore.

Fine, then say that, but don't say things that make it seem like you have never done it in your life or would do it in your life. Be honest. Speak the truth. Don't have your people and your lawyers come out and deny and deny that the photos are yours when everyone in the world knows they are. Then when you realize no one believes that, then you have your lawyers send out cease and desist letters because sites were making money off your photos and not paying you. Why would you do that if they were not your photos. Be honest when an interviewer asks why you don't want to get naked in a film. Say, something like I did that before and it didn't work out so well and so would rather not.

The whole world just spins and spins and spins which is why we are all shocked when a celebrity comes out and say something with no spin. The Shia LaBeouf story from this week comes to mind when he said he had to pay his dad to spend time with him. Love it. No holding back. Just speak the truth people. It will set you free. Or, at least give you less bashing from the bloggers of the world.

Minnie Driver Loves Blind Items


I knew there was a reason I liked Minnie Driver. Turns out she must be a huge fan of blind items. She is playing out this pregnancy with one clue at a time and I love it. Instead of just saying no, or letting all the original guesses stand she provides more clues and later on she promises a reveal. She could start her own blog and post under Act Ress and I know it would be a big hit.

So, she has totally discounted the old popular choice of Craig Zolezzi. He is the guy most everyone had assumed was the father. I posted a photo of Minnie and Craig and Craig's son and it seemed like a good match.

Well, Minnie has provided a few more clues now.

1. He's English
2. Sort of in the same business.
3. No plans to get married.
4. Unplanned pregnancy

Notice she doesn't say if the guy is single or not. I'm going with Prince Charles because he's English and also in the entertainment business. Actually I think it could be anyone remotely related to the entertainment business. I mean it could be the guy that guesses your age and weight at the carnival on the corner. A carny kid would be cool. I am going with that because this sounds like a one night stand where they both got drunk and then look, she is pregnant. They can't get married because he hasn't told his wife, girlfriend or gay lover yet and so it has to stay quiet for now.

He Can't Even Keep A Fake Relationship Together


The thing about fake relationships is they are supposed to be able to go on for an almost indefinite period because, well they are fake. There are no stresses about how you look or if the other person has a job or if they bathe frequently. It is just about being friends and as long as that continues then the fake relationship should also continue.

So, quite honestly it came as a bit of a shock when that dude who used to be on The Bachelor split up with Marla Maples. I thought that one had the potential to go on for years. I don't actually watch The Bachelor mind you. He might not have been on it at all. Someone could have just said he was on The Bachelor and I would say OK. Apparently the woman he chose on the show practically laughed at him and the ridiculousness of their relationship and so "the engagement" didn't last very long.

So when Andy Baldwin (I know, I know, it is why I called him dude. Too many Baldwins) suddenly showed up on the beach in Hawaii posing and air kissing Marla Maples I laughed and laughed and posted their photos and laughed some more. I mean come on. I thought it was good for Marla because she has been out of the public eye, but the only people who believed it were probably the people who paid them to pose on the beach like that.

Never saw them together again except for one more high publicity event. Then whoosh. Gone. When Andy who is now living in Washington DC was asked about Marla the other night he said, "The big move coupled with the long distance relationship wasn't working for us so I decided we were better off as friends."

So, just in case you were curious he is saying that he dumped Marla. Please. Isn't this guy gay? Is someone actually believing what he is saying?

You know what Marla said about Andy at the height of their two week relationship? "He's a good soul." Yeah that screams hot monkey love.

American Idol Sucks


I think that is a snappy headline isn't it? Although I think the show has many. many problems, this particular rant is about the show's producers. I have kept my promise to you and have not sinned since my last American Idol report. I find that I am living a happy healthier life, and love that I am not currently addicted to any reality program on network television. I like that last little qualifier.

I am not completely uninformed about the show however, and do realize there are only three contestants left. One of those is David Cook and his friends have actually started a foundation to try and raise money to bring his brother Adam out to the final of the show. No problem right? Just put him on a plane and be done with it. Well, Adam has advanced cancer and would actually need to be flown by a medical transport as opposed to just having to come on a commercial flight.
The founder of the charity estimates they need about $80,000 to make it all happen. Since they probably spend that much each week on Ryan Seacrest's hairspray you would think the producers would cough up the money just to look like good guys. I mean if Ryan can produce shows with Denise Richards and The Whore as stars you would think he would want some good karma on his side and pony up the dough himself. What about Simon and the million dollars he spent on one car? Surely he could cough up $80,000 for some sick kid to see his brother on the final of the show. Crickets. Nothing but crickets. What about Randy who spends that much a week on really bad clothing? The daaaaaaaaaawg has left the building. What about Paula? Well no one is really sure if she even understands what her name is at this point, so it isn't going to happen.

Fine, the producers and hosts are jerks, but surely, the charity should be able to at least post about it on the American Idol message boards. Nope. The founder states "I wrote about it on the 'AI' message boards, and they deleted every thread. They're only interested in promoting 'Idol Gives Back.'"

Look, I understand the point if someone is going on their message boards and trying to rip people off for money. However, this is an organization that can be vouched for and has only one purpose. It would be a feel good story for Fox and the producers. Instead they choose to continue to look like jerks. Oh, I'm sure eventually they will cave and will take all the credit for it and steamroll the entire foundation, but for now they are being jerks.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which glamorous TV presenter seriously offended party organisers by trying to return items in her goody bag so she could claim the money back?

Eva Mendes Topless


It is not often that I post at night, but seeing Eva Mendes topless and practically naked made me fire up the old blog machine. I call it the blog machine when I am drunk. The photo above is actually the safest for work photo in the bunch. These photos are from Italian Vogue and kind of take the image of Eva Mendes in an entirely different direction. I mean she looks amazing in the photos but I thought she had moved away from the being the topless woman in her films to doing things which were more acceptable. I mean the photos are acceptable in my universe, but then again my universe is a little skewed. To see the rest of the completely NSFW photos, click here.

Today's Blind Items

This C list primarily television actress should probably be B list. Very attractive. Most of you would know who she is, and even the shows she has been on, but she is probably not a household name. She has been on one huge hit and one of a more modest nature. Our actress and her attorneys have been in discussions with a drug manufacturer trying to reach a settlement. The reason for the settlement is that she lost her job when she tried to commit suicide. Seems that an attempted suicide kinds of freaks producers out. Who knew? Anyway she and her attorneys believe it was due to a specific drug she was taking and have threatened a lawsuit. The drug company wants to keep it quiet because the story would be all over the media and at the same time our actress is trying to keep it quiet so someone will hire her and not always refer to as the actress who attempted suicide.

Random Photos Part One

Rashida Jones goes out and about and the next thing you know she is in the top spot. Amazing how that whole process works isn't it?
Wow Angie Harmon is skinny. I mean Nicole Richie is probably under 90 pounds and Angie looks thinner than that.
Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend at the beginning of the night.

Charlize and Stuart at the end of the night. Well the end of the night in front of the photographers. OK, well the end of the night in front of photographers not inside their house.
I like Christian Olivier. I'm jealous of all his hair, but I like him.
Celine Dion - London

I think everyone knows by now that I'm a fan of Elle Macpherson, but the whole cause bracelet thing has got to go. I appreciate that people purchase the bracelets and I encourage you to do so and keep doing so because it raises much needed funds. However, when you go out, in my opinion it would be much better to wear just one instead of 8 because honestly there is no way anyone can keep track of what is what with that many of them.

All of my favorites were out last night, and most were at the same party. Here is Eliza Dushku looking gorgeous.
So is what Emanuelle Chriqui wearing simply like a dressier version of an Elvis jumpsuit?
So, Dina Lohan is not going to win any mom of the year awards from me. However, I don't really blame the organization that gave her the award. From the photos I saw, most of the recipients seemed to be in fact worthy of the award. What the organization did, was by announcing Dina was getting an award assured themselves of massive publicity which they got. As a result, the other moms who got awards got more attention and recognition then they probably deserved. Plus, I don't think I have ever got to see Dina's mom before so that was good.
I know Dustin Hoffman is probably hoping that since he took Lisa out that he doesn't need to get her a Mother's Day present for Sunday. He of course knows that the garage is not a comfortable place to rest his head and so will probably go ahead and get her a little something anyway.
Kylie Minogue - Paris

How do you know when it is true love and that you have your significant other whipped? They actually go shopping with you for something other than televisions or cars.
Its been awhile since Gretchen Mol made an appearance in the photos. She looks good. Not great, but really good.
One of the things I hate most is celebrities on a red carpet who are choosing not to smile or who look pained to be there. Hey, what are you complaining about? You make more than 99% of the world, work less hours, and are doing something most people would love to be doing. That's why I love Emmy Rossum and Julianna Marguilies in this photo. They are genuinely happy. Julianna is always happy anyway, but this is just a great photo.
Ellen Page in Japan. Whenever I see any of these photos I always want to go home and watch Lost In Translation.
I included the photo of Rosanna Arquette and was going to make some snarky comment but decided to be nice and just say how much I enjoyed Desperately Seeking Susan. The fact that I only liked one movie that she has ever done and that it was almost 30 years ago should not in any way be construed as snark from me to her, as I told myself I would be nice about this photo and not say anything about how it is getting difficult to discern the differences between Rosanna and Alexis.

Who thinks that Jeremy Piven has this photo as his screensaver this morning and that all night he was calling friends saying that Miranda Kerr was making moves on him?
I still don't believe this one.
I don't believe this one either.

Lets see. Zoe Kravitz is 19 and Maxwell will be 35 this month. Mom and dad are probably proud.

Tokio Hotel - New York
This is something that I heard about a couple of weeks ago, but haven't got around to discussing, because honestly it would take too much time. But, if you haven't heard of the Smiley Face gang, you need to, and if you have, does it freak you out as much as it does me? If you want to spend the rest of your day doing something really interesting, click here and read and see all about it. I promise you it is worth your time.
Another story that is worth your time to learn more about is the story of this woman. Her name is Samantha Geimer and she attended the premiere of the film about Roman Polanski last night. Nothing unusual about that until you learn she is the woman that was raped by Roman Polanski when she was 13 and why he no longer lives or is welcome in the United States. Samantha is 45 now and last night must have been an emotional rollercoaster for her.
This guy has movie star good looks doesn't he? Oh, wait he is a movie star.

Wasn't Kelly Osbourne Supposed To Be Sober?


Wasn't Kelly Osbourne supposed to be Amy Winehouse's babysitter because Kelly was sober and could keep her on the straight and narrow? I thought she made a big deal about being sober and that after rehab she was this completely changed person. Now, the tabloids in the UK haven't come out and said that Kelly was drinking last night, but there is obviously something going on. The tabloids have been using words like emotionally drained and exhausted to describe her appearance. My question is that if she was so exhausted and so emotionally drained, then what the hell was she doing partying until the middle of the night in a nightclub? I guess she could have just danced and danced and got so exhausted that she needed a wall to help her walk to her car.

She could have been overwhelmed by all the photographers and was blinded by the flashes going off everywhere, but that seems a stretch to me. If you have a slip in your sobriety that is one thing, but I really hate when celebrities or anyone for that matter give us that holier than thou attitude about sobriety and that they are the experts now that they are sober when in fact they really aren't.

Jason Priestly Needs Work


Jason Preistly has apparently chosen the groveling route in an attempt to get a role on the new Beverly Hills 90210. Jason has let it be known that he is open to appearing on the spinoff but has yet to be contacted by producers. What that really means is that he really wants to be on the show and will probably be crushed if they don't invite him on.

"They haven't contacted me about doing anything yet. But if it's the right thing, I'm certainly open to it. I loved working on that show. I loved everything I did on it. I had so many different jobs, it was great."

In the same interview he also says he isn't quite ready to appear on Dancing With The Stars. Translation - Wait until this 90210 thing because if I get that job I won't need to do DWTS. If the 90210 people don't call though, then I need to do something to stay visible and if it means DWTS then I will release a statement that says it is something I have always wanted to do and that fans kept begging me to do it until I just couldn't say no anymore.

Does Anyone Care? What Happens When Amy Dies?


Amy Winehouse was arrested again today for allegedly smoking crack, snorting Ecstasy and coke as well as downing six Valium. So, almost four months after the video was released, the police finally think they have enough to arrest Amy. This is the same video that showed Peaches Geldof allegedly buying drugs as well.
At this point I am beginning to just get numb to the offenses of Amy Winehouse. It isn't funny or humorous and I am just waiting for the day someone finds her dead. Honestly that is really all that is left isn't it. Over the weekend I thought I am writing a post about that would happen if she died. Do you know who would get all the money? If there isn't a will, then her husband Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake would get all the money and the residuals and royalties for the end of time. I'm sure he will spend it wisely. If you think Kurt Cobain has been exploited just wait until Blaaaaaaaake gets his chance. By the time he's done Barbie will be singing "Rehab."

So, when Blake overdoses because of all the extra cash, he probably won't have a will either. Unless he has managed to knock someone up that I don't know about, Blaaaaaaaaaake's parents would get all the money. So, it is possible that in a few short years Blaaaaaaaaakes parents would be responsible for the Estate of Amy Winehouse, while Amy's dad would probably still be driving a cab.

Money Doesn't Buy Love. It Just Rents It


Although this is a UK story it is a story that needs to be told. Some guy from Poland spent almost a million bucks on Makosi Musambasi who was a contestant on Big Brother 6. He spent the money because he was in love with her. When he ran out of money, she dumped him.

"I feel a fool. I know people will think I’m an idiot. Part of me still loves her and wants to marry her.

"I’ve lost everything, but if she called and said 'Let’s get married', I would."

Talking about their first meeting at Heaven nightclub in 2006, he said: "I got talking to her and after just a few minutes of chatting together, she suddenly kissed me.

"I never thought anyone like her would be interested in me. After all, she is a celebrity."

First of all lets talk about celebrity right now. Just because someone was on television for longer than an instant does not make them a celebrity. And for the record, any girl would have been all over this guy if he was spending a million bucks on them. Heather Mills is probably beating herself with her artificial leg for not seeing this guy. He spent $40,000 on a new car for her and bought her a $500,000 home which was supposed to be their marital home. What was wrong with the home they were using to have sex? Oh you do think they were having sex don't you? See, the article doesn't say and this guy seems like a big idiot so I'm not sure.

For her part, the object of affection had this to say. "I never loved him. I have never been in love.

"We were never engaged. If he says we were getting married, then that’s what he says. People can say what they want. I cannot comment. I cannot confirm anything."

Guys are idiots. As a guy I'm perfectly aware of this fact. I'm also aware that women are attracted to wealth more than the homeless guy on the street so sometimes guys get a little out of control when they are trying to impress a woman. It happens to most guys, especially if they are a little out of shape or not particularly attractive or smell a little on the ripe side. In any relationship you should not have to spend money to get their attention. You should not have to spend money to have friends. You should not spend money on a celebrity thinking they will like you because it won't work.

Now, if I were this guy I would sue the hell out of her. Oh, I don't think he would necessarily win, but he might get back the house, and he would make sure with all the publicity that she never takes advantage of another guy again.

Landon Pigg - The Living Room - Reader Review

When I asked for volunteers to go see Landon Pigg and write up a review, New York City again jumped to the forefront. Here is a review from O. Remember, Tina Dico is still available so go back and look at the cities I posted and see if you would be interested.

Landon Pigg @ Living Room

NYC May 6th

Review By O

Summary:

Last night, I was treated to a show at the Living Room; a bar/concert venue in Manhattan’s lower east side. The performer was Landon Pigg and the show was good. You don’t have to know music to recognize he is charming and has a great deal of talent. I won’t run out and buy anything by him soon, but down the road he seems fully capable of writing a REALLY great song. If that happens, and I wouldn’t be surprised, I’ll be able to say ‘I saw him back in the day’

Background:
For those not familiar with it, this area is mostly tenement housing stock which is going through a rapid and near complete gentrification. The new(er) residents are mostly young and very hip. It was a beautiful night, which allowed the club to open its bay windows to the street; combined with the narrow street effectively creating a mixed indoor/outdoor (smoking) extravaganza.
Dana Parish

The opening act was a young singer/songwriter named Dana Parish. Yes has a pleasant voice and an relaxed stage presence. She performed a short set, accompanied by a piano player and a female background singer. For one song, this was augmented by a songwriter/guitarist. She sounded fine, but the songs were not strong enough to make a lasting impression on me. One of the great things about people at the early stages of their career is the ability to interact with them in an unpretentious way. I got her to pose at the bar ☺.
Landon Pigg was the headliner and the reason the place was standing room only. He has a couple of noteworthy tunes in the public eye. "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop" was featured on an A Diamond Is Forever commercial. Another song comes preloaded on Microsoft’s Zune player. And he’s had tunes on Grey’s Anatomy and ‘Brothers and Sisters’. In the new world of new media, he seems to be firing on all cylinders.

He was accompanied by a keyboard player, Peter, who also provided backing vocals on some tunes.

Landon was also joined by The Pierces, (Catherine and Allison), on a cover of the Beatles tune ‘Girl’. The Pierces have performed on Gossip Girl.

The Performance:

Landon is young and has talent. He has strong melodic sense and has written several hummable tunes. Lyrically, the tunes are not very sophisticated and lack real emotional complexity and imagery. But looking around the room, the predominately female/20s audience is his target and they were loving it.

His stage patter increased as the set went along and I enjoyed his amiable boyish charm. The Living Room is an awesome place to showcase singer/songwriters; it seats around 100. Landon was in good voice and the duet was balanced and almost glitch-free.

His original tunes varied in structure and tempo. I liked them all. The well know tunes were polished, but so others were received equally well. “Magnetism’ moved the crowd. Another tune, which I cannot recall the name of, started with Landon singing just accompanied by organ. It was this tune where we showed a kernel of what could be a great career. Real emotional content, a strong sense of dynamics and real stage presence.

Besides the Rubber Soul cover, he also performed the standard ‘Young At Heart’; you know: ‘Fairy tales can come true..’. I am not a fan of covers that are not totally reworked, but most of the audience seemed to like them fine. Many didn’t even know the Beatles tune - which makes me feel a little older.

NY has a ferocious amount of competition music-wise. Lots of venues, and plenty of real talent willing to pay-for-play, or play for free, or busk in the subways. If I was younger, Landon is the kind of songwriter you could grow up with. As you both became more mature and sophisticated the relationship would grow deeper. Alas I am (a little) older. For stage patter I’ll take Elvis Costello. To rework a tune I vote Joe Jackson. To have communion with a crowd: Ani DiFranco. But for a Tuesday night in NYC, Landon packed the house and delivered what the crowd wanted. At the end of the day, he entertained and that is what it’s all about in the end.

This Is Getting To Be Such Crap


This month Elisabeth Hasselback is on the cover of Fitness magazine in a bikini. She did this despite having a baby just six months ago. This was her second child. When you look at the photo there does not appear to be any difference between her and an 18 year old girl with no kids. This is incredibly misleading to the public. Oh, I have no doubts that Elisabeth looks something close to this. She does after all sell herself for a living basically and so needs to look good. Further she makes well over a million bucks a year and has access to trainers 24/7. For this shoot she worked out at least twice a day every day for six weeks.

What? You can't find the time in your schedule to work out twice a day for several hours each time. Well why don't you hire some people to look after your kids, feed your significant other and run all your errands while you just work out and get ready for your cover shoot. Oh, and according to Elisabeth she didn't diet at all, so you don't need to worry about that at all.

In the article, the editors and Elisabeth make it seem like it is all manageable for everyone to do and that you to will have the perfect body after just six weeks of hard work. That is all crap of course and it can rarely be done. They want you to believe it can be done so that way you will but the magazine and buy the products that are advertised in the magazine. If they have to stretch the truth to get it done so be it. In fact, it really might even be lying if you take into account the fact they airbrushed and photoshopped the hell out of this photo. No imperfections anywhere on her body? Wow, how did she manage to do that? Does she have a product to sell for that?

You would think Elisabeth would be the type of person who would be sensitive to this and try and be more real, but the closest she comes in the article is this quote. "I finally told myself ... 'I've got some curves, I've got a bubble butt, but I don't mind, because it's what powers me forward when I run.'

Oh, gee, that's great. I guess she preferred the flat ass she had before and that everyone who has a bubble butt or any curves should be ashamed unless of course you are a runner and then it is fine. Elisabeth and every person they throw up on Shape or Fitness always makes it seem as if you can be just like them if you would only do what the article says and if you buy the products in the magazine. What they are selling is false and misleading and just wrong. It is designed to make you feel inadequate and miserable and that is what work is for. It shouldn't also have to bombard you from the checkout stands.

Jessica Simpson Needs A Guy Lesson


As I do every Wednesday morning I woke up, grabbed some coffee and a dozen Krispy Kremes and read Glamour Magazine. Oh sure, it's a big part of my life. In this month's issue, Jessica Simpson talks about her jinx status with the Dallas Cowboys. I know this has been discussed here before but I think that it is worth a paragraph or two to explain to you wives and girlfriends out there the difference between being a distraction and a jinx.

Here is what Jessica had to say. "I don't know - other than me wearing my man's jersey and cheering him on. And him not playing the way he would've hoped and all of a sudden I'm to blame. That was ludicrous. I don't understand why they think that I would be a distraction to Tony. Do they really think he can see way far up in that box? No. He's the most focused person I've ever dated."

A few things here. No, Tony can't see up to where she's sitting. But the fact is she's missing the point. Athletes are incredibly superstitious. On game days their superstitions can mirror that of someone with OCD, especially if they happen to win after performing some of their rituals.

Players have been cut from teams because the other members of the team think that person is a jinx. Jessica is a distraction, but the reason every one of Tony Romo's teammates and the President of the US don't like her is the fact the Cowboys don't win when she is in the stands. I guarantee you that the players will ask Tony before each game if she is in the stands, and if she is, they will believe they are going to lose. She might not understand it and it might be crazy, but that is what they will believe.

Now, to your husbands, boyfriends, or significant others who love sports. They will do the same thing while watching sports. If you come into the room and his team scores and scores and scores, you will be invited or even begged to remain. Conversely if you enter the room and his team suffers injuries or the plague during your visit, you will be asked to leave, and to never return during this particular game.

Let me make a prediction. If Jessica shows up to a game and the Cowboys lose, and then doesn't show up for a game, and they win, Jessica will not be at any Cowboys games the rest of the season. None.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which diva made a fool of herself at a recent boxing match by demanding staff wait on her hand and foot? Other celebs booed her as waiters bringing her champers and goodies obstructed their view of the of the fight...

Today's Blind Items

Wow. It is just 59 days and counting until the next mass reveal. Seems like only yesterday I spent my entire New Year holiday sitting in front of the computer for 40 hours straight going through all the blind items. I should start now, but probably won't actually get started until about July 3rd and then cuss and drink and promise myself I am never going to do it again. Oh, and just to let you know, the singer who is HIV+ should be out by then, but if not, well it will be here.

#1 - I don't know about you, but I just can't get enough of celebrity hooker items. Although I love the items that were about celebrities being hookers before they became famous, I especially adore the ones where it is a celebrity who used to be the star of movies, and was and actually is a household name. I guess she is C list now, although she does still have A list name recognition. She isn't cheap, but she sure does cost less than some of those hookers who have been in the news. From what I understand if you would like to have this woman who used to be fairly good looking but now is just a washed up mess be your companion, you do need to hire her for at least a week. You need to spend your entire time with her outside the United States and provide her airfare to and from the States. There are no guarantees she will even come close to remaining sober throughout your time together, but she does only charge $50,000 for the week. She also claims she is drug and disease free but I think she is referring to drugs of the injectable variety.

Random Photos Part One

There was some confusion on my part about where photos were, and what should go first, so today, the photos truly are random. This set also includes the very first safe for work photo of a reader for everyone to snark. Honestly, I don't want to snark your photos. I will let you do it, but I like all of you even the people that hate me, and so I don't want to snark people I like. It is one thing to make fun of celebrities or odd photos, but to do so to you, would not be fun. Plus, I don't know if they are really you or not. It could just be a neighbor or some really strange porn you found amusing that you decided to send me.


Cat Power - Mexico City
I don't think B.D. Wong gets enough credit for his acting or enough attention so here is some love for B.D.
The new face of Chanel is Audrey Tautou.
No, it isn't Scientology. It kind of looks like it but it is actually Paul Allen's house which is where Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are hanging out.
Alpha Beat - The Netherlands
Javier Bardem looks really cool here.

He then ruins it by breaking into We Are The World.
George Clooney dropped twenty years over night.
Although some would think I am posting this because it shows so much of Eva Mendes' leg, you would be wrong. I just really like the photo because you can tell she is rushing to get to the event at the Met but at the same time doesn't want to fall on her ass or to ruin the dress but still manages to look beautiful.
Derren Brown reads minds. To me, putting the blindfold on is kind of just showing off.
I think we can all agree that for reasons of public safety it is a very good thing that Paula Abdul stands in one place while talking on the phone. Not sure who would actually call her, but...


So did you hear about the mink coat Lindsay Lohan accidentally took that didn't belong to her? You really think this was a first time?
Kula Shaker - The Netherlands
The new Joker doll which is selling out all over the US.
Later that night, Rob and Jeff pulled up their shirts for Mardi Gras beads.

How is it that yesterday Tom Cruise was about five inches shorter than Katie and today he is just two inches shorter. Is Oprah really God? Does she have magic growing beans?


I know all of you are in mourning which is why I haven't mentioned the whole Ryan Reynolds engagement thing. Hey, on the bright side, he didn't get married last time. What will make this any different?
The reader photo.
Prince Harry really is all grown up. I'm guessing the bodyguard doesn't sit at home each night watching reruns of Little Britain. Just a guess though.
Pete Doherty got out of prison and then went home and got drunk. Seriously.

Met Costume Institute Gala Photos - Richard Snark

Richard, the intrepid reporter who assisted on the Katy Perry review is back. This time he brings his snark front and center in these Met Costume Institute photos.


George and Julia were co-chairs for the event.


Anna Wintour – the arbiter of style (OY!)



Anna’s daughter Bee – Isn’t the mother supposed to be tastefully dressed and the daughter supposed to be trying too hard and wearing something inappropriate.


Tom & Gisele – neither looking very good


Naomi Watts got into the spirit of the event and looks damn fine.



I think Diane Kruger & Joshua Jackson look great.



Zac Posen went for the comic book effect (note the stripper heels on Kate Mara).



Not the best shot of Lauren Hutton but in any case, she is still incredible.



Thandie Newton didn’t have time to put on her dress and showed up in her robe and foundation garments (by Chanel).



I was glad to see that Lynda Carter was invited.



Becks & Posh (their on/off BFF Tom & Kate were also there as were Mark and Jennifer but I will save your retinas and not include those photos).



This is just wrong: Tilda Swinton and Justin Bond. How frumpy can you get?



Janet looks great.

This look is over.



Andre Benjamin shows him how it should be done.



Stalking Doesn't Get You Much Time


I don't know if mopery or stalking gets you more time behind bars, but neither one is going to set the world on fire for the length of time you have to serve for being convicted. Uma Thurman and her family have spent the past week in court and have lived with the effects of a stalker for about three years. Today in court, Uma's stalker Jack Jordan was convicted of fourth-degree stalking and second degree aggravated harassment. Jordan was found not guilty of two charges of aggravated harassment.

The stalking charges can carry up to 90 days in jail, while the aggravated harassment charges could send Jordan to jail for up to a year.

That sentence above is a could, not a must, and also doesn't take into account any good behavior or time served. The fact is that although I do joke about stalking, it can be extremely serious. The problem is that despite stalking laws, the police only take it seriously if someone is hurt or killed.

The police are far too busy even for a celebrity, to do much about a stalker except to go threaten the guy or lady and tell him they will be watching. If you are just an average person who doesn't have the name Uma or Orlando or Scarlett then the police might not even stop by your house or even give you a call. Then, when a person shows up dead the police are always shown to have not cared and they promise to do better and for about 12 hours they do. Then unfortunately it goes back to the way it was.

For Uma to spend this much time pursuing this case, this must have been serious. Unfortunately for her and her family, the guy will probably be out of jail, if he even goes, before Christmas.

Susan Sarandon Got It Right



Have a kid? They want to get a tattoo? Tell them they can have one when they turn 60. Susan Sarandon just got two tattoos recently done on her 60th birthday. To me, that is the perfect time to get them done. When you are 20 you are not going to have the same body as when you are 60 and so that belly button tattoo you got at 20 has now spread and become that odd discoloration around your bloated beer belly.

20 is also too young because you are not going to be the same person or probably be with that significant other who convinced you to get a tattoo in the first place because they get horny when they see it. My advice is to find someone who gets horny knowing you have a job. And that they have one too.

I like the way that Susan is honoring her life and what has happened as opposed to something that can change every six months either resulting in someone getting a new tattoo or wondering why on earth they got one in the first place.

I'm glad tats are becoming kind of been there and done that because if I hear one more person say why they regret getting their tattoo I think I will go insane. I regret having to see a bunch of people with suns and moons and fishes and stars and every generic Asian character inked on their bodies.

If you are going to do it, have it mean something to you and that it will still remain important to you 50 years from now. Susan Sarandon got it right.

3,000 Calories For French Fries


The new law in New York city that requires restaurants with more than 15 locations to list calories for all their dishes is going nationwide. A bill was introduced into Congress which would require restaurants with more than 20 locations to list not only calories, but also fat grams and do so right on the menu, right next to the dish you are thinking of ordering. Oh, it won't stop me from gorging because that is what we as Americans do. We go to a restaurant, gorge on the fattiest damn food we can find, wolf it down in 30 minutes and head on home to the couch to watch some television while we wonder why we are so fat.

Yay America. Seriously, I would not have it any other way, but I do understand that some people don't like being fat. I find a certain freedom in just letting it all go and not worrying about weight or whether I am going to fit into something. Life on this earth is short enough without me trying to eat something I don't enjoy for 30 years to get an extra year or two of life. Yes, there are heart attacks and high blood pressure, but thanks to the medical marvels of the 21st century, I think I can keep right on going. Knock on wood.

Anyway, in case you want to know what some of your favorite dishes are worth in caloric fun, here is a sample. Oh, the article didn't include my favorite example which is the cheese fries at Outback. 3000 calories. I love those things and can eat two entirely by myself and still eat a full meal after. Oh, the Ayers Rock Strip? 60 grams of fat.

Oh, think you would prefer a turkey burger? Healthier right? At Ruby Tuesday's their turkey burger comes in at 1,145 calories and 71 grams of fat. In fact, did you know the average entree at a sit down restaurant has about 30% more calories than a fast food chain like McDonalds and that doesn't even include appetizers or desserts or the free bread or the booze.

Maybe you only go out to eat for breakfast. Well how about this tasty number from Bob Evans. Caramel Banana Pecan Cream Stacked and Stuffed Hotcakes which has 1,540 calories and 77 grams of fat. That is the way to kick start your day. You could have five Egg McMuffins and still not quite approach the number of calories in this dish.

Well what about chicken? Surely that is safe. Ever been to Chili's? Ever got Chili's Honey Chipotle Crispers with Chipotle Sauce? Well if you have you got yourself 2,040 calories and 99 grams of fat. Chili's Awesome Blossom is also home to the appetizer which actually finished slightly ahead of my Outback fries because of the sodium. The Awesome Blossom has 2,710 calories, 203 grams of fat, 194 grams of carbs and 6,360 mg of sodium. And remember it's just an appetizer.

I could go on all day, but seriously, I am hungry even after reading about these. I think they are fun, but they really don't change my eating habits. Instead, I will be looking for the dish that is the worst for you, just to try it. I do love the law though and think it is something that can be used well. It just isn't for me.

Sarah Jessica Parker Doesn't Like Wealthy People


In an interview with the National Enquirer, Sarah Jessica Parker states that she really dislikes New York now because there are too many people who are affluent and that it isn't real anymore. She thinks that it is too expensive too haughty and just doesn't like all the wealth on display.

Ummm. Is she really going there? Her? The woman who has made her fortune by being one big piece of gaudy wealth and fashion? The woman who made her money off a show which had as its basic premise a certain superficial shallowness that anything worth having cost a ton of money and those who didn't were less than human.

I don't seem to recall SJP's character in the show wearing clothes from Old Navy. Come to think of it, I don't think in real life she owns anything from Old Navy or if she does, that she wears in public. Yes, she did the Gap ads, but do you really think she used their clothes for anything more than to give to one of her nannies or maids or other servants she has. How much is that purse she's carrying in the photo? More than most people pay for rent for six months? SJP prefers the New York of 1976 when it was broken and poor and destitute and wishes for a return to those glory days. She suggests it still may be possible to find such a thing in Queens.

I'm sure the people of Queens will welcome you with open arms Sarah for comparing their borough to New York in the 1970's which was one of the most uninviting places in the world to be.

This is why celebrities should just go to work, get paid, and go home. When you start relying on celebrities for something intelligent or thought provoking, or even interesting you are going to end up disappointed. What makes SJP's opinion matter more than the guy who bags her groceries or the woman who is her doctor, or her neighbor who laughs at Matthew Broderick's clothes everyday? Just because she was on television she is better than the rest of us? I don't think so.

Lindsay Or Nicole?

I don't know if the photo above means that Lindsay Lohan and Joel Madden are doing the nasty. I just think it happens to be a photo of Lindsay checking to see if Joel has any cavities while he rests his thigh on hers and she uses her right hand to give him that look. Hell, I don't know, but I do know that someone needs to throw out this deck of cards and bring in a new 52 to play with.

Doesn't it seem that there are only 52 people in Hollywood and they all have dated each other like one big soap opera? The only good thing about keeping it within the 52 is hopefully they are keeping whatever diseases they are acquiring to themselves.

Did you ever have that deck of cards whether it be regular cards or Uno or whatever that just got so worn out with time. The ends were bent, and they had got wet at some point, and they had been folded and creased and used and abused and yet you couldn't quite get rid of them. Well, it is close to that time when your mom takes away the old cards and drops off that brand new pack you had hidden away in your stocking from Christmas. You know? The ones with Santa on them.

Slowly, the 52 are changing and soon, we will have a brand new 52 people to watch having sex with each other and doing drugs with and the fights and jealousies and going nowhere careers. Meanwhile though we are still stuck with Joel Madden and Lindsay Lohan and whether or not they did it before he went back home to his boozing girlfriend and baby. Or, maybe he went over to his brother's house and then this could get really interesting.
Now, going back to the headline. If you were to choose, who would be the better girlfriend? I would actually go with Nicole just because she seems to have a greater grip on maturity. Plus, a really cool dad who dances on ceilings.

Hey Mischa. Shut Up!



You know I'm not a big shut up kind of person. I'm more of a be quiet kind of person. I think I read somewhere that shut up was one of the rudest things you can say to someone, and that be quiet is much more appropriate and less damaging to the psyche. Who knew I could be so sensitive? Not me. Anyway, the shut up is directed at all celebrities, but falls on Mischa because she is just the latest who complains and complains while at the same time desperate for the attention of the paps.

The only reason I talk about Mischa Barton is because she manages to get her photos out there to be seen. She has no acting career or modeling career at this point and she is living off past O.C. fumes. Nothing wrong with that. I think an actor should live off those fumes for as long as they can.

So, if Mischa stayed home every night, pretty soon people would forget her because she is not doing anything memorable work wise. Although I'm using Mischa as an example, you can just fill in the blank on any other number of actors and actresses who once touched fame. Go back to someone I had in Random Photos the other day. Estella Warren. You know she makes two or three times as much as Mischa when she acts or models, but you rarely see her and probably forgot her name already.

So, when Mischa gets ticked off at a pap for taking topless photos of her AFTER he warned her that she was in a public area, then I have a problem. The Australian pap has it on tape warning Mischa that he had not taken photos of her, but if she were planning to sunbathe where she was located, that it was very public and that he would be taking her photo. He even suggested more private areas.

So, what does she do? Sunbathes topless and when the photos show off the fact that photoshopping is how she makes her living, she gets ticked off at the paps for invading her personal life. Of course if they had come out spectacular she would have been grinning from ear to ear; happy and secure that people were taking notice of her for the next week or two until she could think of another stunt or boyfriend or arrest or church visit to keep her in the public eye just until she gets that next big break while at the same time trashing in public the last big break she got as the worst television show ever.

At Least Shia LaBeouf Admits It


Think parents hang out with their kids on set because they love them and care for them? Nothing to do with money? Uh huh. Shia LaBeouf gave an interview where he stated that when he filmed that Disney show Even Stevens when he was 13, he needed a parent on the set. The only person he could turn to was his just out of rehab dad. He had barely spoken to his dad for his entire life, and now here he was forking over $800 a week to a guy who was only doing it for the money and not because of any paternal affection.

"For him it wasn't about being with a son that he loved. He was rent-a-dad."

Shia did go on to say that living with his dad in a motel for three years did bring them close together and actually gave him the father he had lost forever. Now go ahead and wipe away the tears because honestly, most parents are out there to make money off their kids, and to live vicariously through them. From the stage moms on the set of a commercial to Billy Ray Cyrus to Pimpa Joe and Michael Lohan, parents love living off their kids. It's great. They don't do any work, and generally make more money then any other job they have had before. They get free stuff including drugs, and get invited to parties and get attention and basically live a life they never thought possible when they were the kid getting beat up in high school or selling shoes in Sears. Then one day they have a kid and they get to exploit the hell out of that kid, push that kid and that kid becomes their only source of income. You don't think the kid has some kind of pressure? What about if your whole family relies on your income? Hello Lindsay Lohan.
Parents can all spare me the crap about how they are only looking out for the best interests of their child. No, they aren't. The only thing they are doing is making sure the gravy train doesn't stop, and if the kid has to work 20 hours a day to make it happen, the kid is going to do it. The only time I will ever believe the best interests story is when at least one of the parents still has a real job despite the fact their kid is making millions. Otherwise, they are all greedy. I blame the parents, but I also blame human nature. If someone came to you and said you didn't have to do any work at all, and you would get lots of free gifts and travel and people would know your name and you would earn enough to feed your entire family for the next five years, you wouldn't want that to go away. If it means you rationalize how hard your kid is working and maybe not saying anything when they have a drink or two or use a little white powder, then you figure it is the price you have to pay for living the good life. Unfortunately, it is not you who is paying the price.

How many teenagers do you know who can handle the combination of fame, money, power, enabling, and supporting a family of 5? I don't really know any either. That is why they end up paying the price and parents are there at the funeral saying how tragic it was, and then dividing up the estate.

Today's Blind Items

#1 - I honestly thought I knew about most sexual fetishes. I guess I have heard of this, but never heard of anyone who actually participated. The thought that a former A list film actor and now a B- with some great name recognition would enjoy participating in food sex is kind of funny. Food sex as in covering you and your partner in various foods and then having sex. Our actor only does it in hotels and only with hookers. Maybe having all that food all over him hides his bald areas.

#2 - Our B list film actress who happens to be married to a real winner was on a recent modeling shoot. Our actress loves crack and had arranged to meet a friend of a friend while she was in this city not her own who was going to supply her with everything she needed. He did show up, and she bought enough rocks to get her through the day. Unfortunately she didn't have a crack pipe because she didn't want to carry it on the plane. Her dealer didn't have one either. To say she was upset was an understatement. She sent her dealer and her assistant out to get one. They came back a short while later with one they had got from a homeless person for $100. Our actress didn't even bother to say thanks. Just spent the next hour in kind of a haze, the photo shoot be damned.

Random Photos Part One

Adrian Grenier and Isabel Lucas get the top spot today. They just look good and really good together.

Obviously at some point while getting ready, Bo Derek thought there might be a chance she was actually going to be asked to ride one of the horses.
Bradley Whitford, just because this photo made me laugh. The guy was having a great time.
Carson Daly. I'm glad you brought your mom along. Now, see if she can get you to eat a sandwich.
Mischa Barton at a Broadway event. Maybe someone will actually take the time to explain acting to her while she is there.

John Rich - Indio, CA
It was nice of grandpa to bring out the grand kids to the horse races. It's nice when grandparents take an interest in the family.
I really could have posted all of these photos. I wish I had been there. Gina Gershon also looks like she is having a blast.
When I look at this photo of Emile Hirsch and Christina Ricci, I feel like someone is going to start singing Carpenters songs.
I don't know if Reese Witherspoon is pointing at Avon or her breast, but it doesn't matter, anything for breast cancer research is a really great thing.

I thought it was kind of newsworthy to post this photo of Patrick Swayze, but it will be the last one. I don't like doing the whole death watch game. I think it is pretty gruesome to do so.
Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight - New York City
Probably the best dressed couple at the Kentucky Derby. Nigel and Christine Blackburn. Great suit and I love the chef's hat too.
Molly Sims looking splendid.
Hey, look. Someone invited Taylor Hicks to something. You know what? He doesn't look bad.


Did they dye the kid's hair? Is it the light?
Can you just see Tom jumping up and down at the end of the night trying to reach Katie's mouth for a kiss.
Reason #432 why HGH should not be in your medicine cabinet.
Tom Cruise's shoes sure do get around.

What? Like Someone Is Going To Give You A Cooking Show


Heather Mills recently turned down $200,000 to be the face for a UK adult entertainment store. It was just for one year and they just wanted to use her face and have her make some appearances. They thought that because she had been a hooker in the past and a nude video model that she would be the perfect person.

I agree. Apparently though, Heather Mills' people didn't think it was such a great idea. Mill's PR person said the deal was not "the right direction" for her career. Well, I'm not sure what direction her career is going. What does she think she is going to be able to do. Oh, sure we know she will be the biggest pain in the ass Paul McCartney has ever had. She will probably hound him into an early death and then go to court for 20 years to try and get Beatrice more of his money from his estate.

No one likes you Heather. Oh, I'm sure you can get some work as a party hostess because people want to see you, but after a few times and they realize that you are nothing special, you will be stuck doing nothing. There aren't going to be movies or book deals unless you want to spill what you haven't even admitted.

You aren't going to get a talk show or a cooking show or even a reality show. No one wants to spend the next 13 weeks watching you whine about how $46 million won't get you very far. So, take the $200,000 and join everyone else in the real world.

I'll keep you posted.

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me


You know I was prepared to let the whole Gary Dourdan drug arrest just slide on by without making a comment. I mean he isn't going to be on CSI next season, and judging by his past behavior, his career would just end up going nowhere. Not wanting to take the time to discuss a guy who isn't going to even be around in a year or so seemed a waste. Then I realized, that a) there was nothing to talk about today, and b) the guy made me laugh really, really hard.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Dourdan said the drugs found in the car weren't his. Well, hmm. Let's see. Gary was in the car alone. Parked on the wrong side of the road asleep. When the police searched the car they found coke, heroin, ecstasy, and other prescription drugs. If it didn't belong to Gary, then he left some people mighty pissed back at Coachella.

I might be more likely to believe Gary if the entire cast had not come out and said how grateful they were that Gary was finally getting some help or if he had got his contract renewed. Gary. You need to fess up. Quotes such as "I am planning events to get the word out that you don’t need a bunch of nasty chemicals to have a good time. Just good friends, family, good music and a good honest spirit full of faith," might make your daughter believe you a little, but to the rest of the world you look like an idiot. Why don't you grow up so you can enjoy the rest of your life with your daughter.

Robert Downey Jr. In GQ

These photos of Robert Downey Jr. in GQ are some of the oddest photos I have seen in a very long time. From the Hunter S. Thompson vibe to the obsession with fishnet and spitting, it all seems a bit much. I'm sure all of you will probably like them, and I guess it could convey RDJ and what he has gone through, but to me, it is just kind of weird. If you want to read the accompanying article to the spread, click here.









Peaches. How Could You?



Longtime readers of the blog will know that for some reason I have a fascination with Peaches Geldof. I don't know if it is because of her mom Paula Yates who overdosed on heroin or just the fact that I like her name and her sisters, Pear, and Strawberry. Whatever it is, when I heard that Peaches had been caught on tape buying $400 worth of drugs from Amy Winehouse's dealer, it really made me mad.
Seriously. Peaches has everything going for her. Yes, her mom died, but Bob has always been there for her. I guess I don't understand why she would turn to drugs? She couldn't have any real pressure issues she is dealing with and with her whole mom thing, you would think she would have a built in incentive not to do so. Peaches has always been indignant that she has never used drugs. When a photo of her using a coke inhaler showed up, she said it was a bad angle on a photograph of a cigarette. Well, obviously, she has some serious explaining to do now.

When police arrested the couple who had filmed Amy Winehouse smoking crack, they found the portion where they had sold to Peaches as well. Someone had tried to erase it, but had not managed to remove it completely. Sounds like someone may have paid some blackmail money, but that it didn't work out in the end.

Hopefully this is a huge wake up call from Peaches and she won't end up like Amy. Over the weekend, Mark Ronson gave up trying to record the James Bond theme with Amy because she can't even put two words together. Literally.

R. Kelly's Ice Is Getting Really Thin


For six years the child pornography trial of R. Kelly has been delayed. Oh sure, there have been lots of civil suits from girls who say they had sex with Kelly and those have been settled. The criminal charge though has been pending since June 2002. The trial starts this week, and R. Kelly may be in seeing his freedom slip because he loved threesomes.

R. Kelly and his defense team thought they could get away with saying that the girl Kelly is alleged to have had sex with is not the one on the tape. The alleged victim was also going to testify it is not her in the tape. I wonder why she would do that? Take a big guess.

Anyway, that whole theory may have gone up in smoke The Chicago Sun Times says there is another woman who did a threesome with Kelly and the 13 year old girl and can identify the girl in person and on the tape. Uh oh. Can you hear that? That's the sound of R. Kelly's butt clenching knowing he faces 15 years in the slammer if convicted.

Six years. The girl was allegedly 13 when it happened, 15 when the charges were filed and is now old enough to drink legally. R. Kelly is now 41, so that would have made him 33 when it allegedly happened. Tell me again why a parent hasn't killed him yet. Oh, yeah. Money. I don't care how much you offered me, if a 33 year old touched any 13 year old, he would be a goner. I know none of us would be interested in sex with children, but they would have already lethally injected us, and yet R. Kelly is out there. Free, and continuing to make some really bad music and quite a lot of money.

Don't ever believe there is just one justice system. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets off, and I don't mean looking at all the other videos he has stashed somewhere with a bunch of other teenagers.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which newly minted TV star is a pushover who already looks ready for rehab? At an L.A. party, the actor was mocked into doing a bunch of shots, despite protesting numerous times that he had to drive that night.
