Full Frontal Friday

It is that time again. You know, the time where you get to see people who are celebrities or are at least in their mind, and how they came into this world. Well not exactly as they came into the world because that would be bad, and all of you would complain they were too small. Anyway, here is what there is for this week.


Bear Grylls

Four For Friday

#1 & 2 - So, earlier this week, we had an A lister who was spotted ignoring his companion. Well,, the reason he may be ignoring her is that he is having a thing with a VERY much younger than him C list film actress who co-stars in a brand new film that stars a guy from one of my favorite television shows.

#3 - This is an unusual one. Just the name of a show rather than a person. What brand new television show, filmed outside the US, has pretty much ruined it for all companies that want to film there in the future. The reason? The crew working the show had never been treated as badly in terms of verbal abuse, lack of respect and working conditions. In addition, a local girl was severely burnt in the face and upper body when a light exploded on set. By way of compensation she was offered a job in a city 300 miles away from the village where she has lived her whole life. Obviously she could not do it, and the production company just didn't care. It gave her one option, and one option only.

#4 & 5 - What singer and I use that term loosely is running out of money fast? The reason? Her fairly new husband is now acting as her business manager and using her bank account as his own personal ATM. In the short time they have been married she has lost almost $5M all because of him.

Random Photos Part One

Although I have no problems putting Amy Adams on top, today was just a matter of luck for her, and her initials.
Instead of Random European Dude as is normally the custom here, today is random Indian dude. In this case, Akshay Kumar.
See, Anna Tsuchiya is the kind of person you want to invite to a party. She brings enough for everyone, and unlike some people doesn't bring Bud Light.
Note to all video game companies. If you throw a party in Hollywood David Arquette will come. Courteney and her Christina lipstick will only come if Foo Fighters are also playing. They did and she did.

Emilie Hirsch was there also. Do you think he puts rollers in hair or you think that is just a natural thing?
Yes, more Courteney, but I thought it would be rude to crop her out and Lynda Carter didn't take any solo photos.
Now, I don't want to draw any conclusions and I am sure there is a very logical reason why Abbie Cornish decided to hang out at some video game party with Breckin Meyer and not take a free trip to London and be with Ryan Phillipe. So, no need to speculate. Unless you want to of course. Oh, and who is the smoker?
In the random photo of the day we have Barry Bonds and Zac Efron.
Any awards show in Latin America is always going to provide good photos. The MTV Latin America Awards are no exception. This almost made the top photo.

But then I would have felt bad about not putting The Dudesters on top.
This is just wrong on so many levels.
Still not funny. But Dane Cook is a good looking guy.
Dave Annable returns to the photos after a lengthy absence.
Jason Schwartzman, where have you been?

And Kirsten Dunst actually looks, dare I say it. Bright eyed. Well, the night was young.
I admit it. I love Johnny Knoxville.
Is that a tattoo on Heidi Klum's right arm? You may have to click the photo to get a good look.
The weekly George Clooney photo.

Ludacris and Rudy Huxtable. She probably hates that, but it is my blog so I don't care. She looks good though.

Lauren Conrad and Frankie Delgado. What can I say? I had space to fill.
Katy Perry - Guadalajara, Mexico
If you let Katie out of Tom's sight for a night she actually looks like the Katie Holmes of old. I mean, that actually looks like a real emotion and an attempt at a red carpet pose. I love it.


Paramore - Guadalajara, Mexico

So, this party was held at a private home. You had Johnny Knoxville, Orlando Bloom and Spike Jonze in the house at the same time. Umm, that is a good night.
Mia Farrow just because.
Metallica - Guadalajara, Mexico
Monica Belluci and Vincent Cassel at the funeral of Guillaume Depardieu.
The forementioned Spike Jonze

and his current main squeeze.
Rita Wilson.
Have not had Rachel Nichols in here in a very long time. She became famous and turned her back on me. I don't hold a grudge though.
Patrick Wilson who apparently is the one bright spot in All My Sons.
Winona Ryder turned into Joan Baez with boots.

I love Victoria Principal. Her plastic surgeon? Not so much.
I really like this new look of Victoria Beckham. That is saying a lot because I don't like much about her.
Sarah McLachlan - Toronto
Stacy Keibler is back on the red carpet circuit.

Your Turn

So, do you remember back in the day when there were like three networks and no cable? Yeah, well I remember that if you ever wanted to watch cartoons the only time to do it really was on Saturday mornings. Oh, sure some UHF station might show some before you went to school, but that wasn't any fun because you kept looking at the clock so you wouldn't be late. Now, with cable and videos and DVD's, you can watch cartoons 24/7. I still think the old ones are the best and I will find myself watching Boomerang late at night watching Scooby Doo cartoons from like 40 years ago. Maybe you like the newer cartoons and the old ones are too cheesy. So, today. Your favorite cartoon of all time.

Whatever

The NY Post had a report yesterday that said someone overheard Miley Cyrus telling a friend that, ""she was probably staying at Justin's tonight and that they were going to skip the after-party and have a party of their own." I can believe that. Apparently the entire world believed it also. So, to that end Miley's publicist released a statement that said, "Miley had a great time at the show, but the whole sleeping-over thing never happened. Miley went home with her mom and manager. Leticia is very strict with her."

First of all, I don't recall seeing anywhere in the NY Post quote that Miley said she was going to do anything wrong when she went to Justin's place. She just said they were going to have their own after party. I'm sure of course that meant they were going to eat popcorn and watch Jonas Brothers concerts. To throw in the bonus that Tish is really strict with Miley just makes the whole thing even more laughable. Who out there thinks Miley's parents are strict with her? Yeah, that's what I thought. I hate when publicists treat the world like we are idiots and that we just buy the garbage that they stuff down our throats. We have minds and we know how to use them. What if Tish had told the publicist that Miley had indeed spent the night at Justin's and they ended up sleeping together all night. Do you really think she would have told us the truth? Hell no. So, why on earth should we believe her when she said that Miley went home with her mother. Plus, maybe mom said Justin could spend the night over at Miley's house. Hell, if I were Justin I would rather go home to wherever Miley was staying anyway because it is probably nicer than a 6th floor walkup that he shares with four other models.

Lainey Blind Item

A couple of years ago, I was the first to write about the celebrity IV diet – many of them would admit themselves to hospital under the care of a proper physician for 10 days, 2 weeks or so, eliminating food in favour of an IV drip chock full of essentials to keep one alive while starving.

Mainstream outlets only picked up on this last month.

Needless to say, the IV diet presents some major health issues. It’s also not that convenient. How many weeks on end can you disappear in a given year without arousing suspicion, to say nothing of the limitations on actually having a real life – who wants to spend weeks at a time away from home?

This is why she chose something, for her anyway, that was more … flexible. In more ways than one.

She was always super thin before baby. But after baby it’s been hard to lose the last 10. And to her credit, she did try hard. But nothing was working. And drastic measures had to be taken. Which is why she’s had one of those “lap band” things installed. Like gastric bypass (stomach stapling) only much less invasive.

But it’s typically for the morbidly obese. Not for an already slender women wanting to be more slender who is carrying around an extra few pounds.

Whatever. This is Hollywood. And this is a woman who needs to keep up.

So the weight came off. She’s stick thin again. And all’s good, right?

Well… the problem is that they’ve always wanted to add to their family. And it’s apparently recommended that the device be deflated or however they render it ineffective when a couple is trying to conceive. So he’s been like – ok, you’re done, you’re back to where you wanted to be so let’s get going!

But she’s too scared to stop the band thing, she’s addicted to the skinny, and her body over baby choice is now threatening her marriage.

Melody Thornton Is An Idiot

Wow, I think I just lost a million brain cells and all I had to do was read words that Melody Thornton had said. If I had actually had to listen to them, I might actually have none left. Most of you at this point are probably asking who Melody Thornton is. Well, I will tell you. She is one of the Pussycat Dolls who just does whatever she does in the background and pretends to sing.

But, sometimes people like interviewing people other than Nicole and so Melody got her chance and she has probably set back the interview process for like a decade.

When you think of this group does it evoke memories of going to church on Sunday or nuns or spreading the word of God and what he would want everyone to do? Yeah, me either. I think the grinding on the floor and simulated sex kind of blew those thoughts out of the water. Well, apparently melody thinks that is just what she is doing. Throughout her childhood, Melody wanted to be a nun. "I used to watch these movies about people who really devote their lives to charity in someway or bettering the world, devoting themselves to serve God or a common purpose. Then I realized when I could sing I realized I could do both."

Well first of all, I think we need to say that yes, she can sing, but so can everyone. Doesn't mean you are good at it or that you should even try to make a living at it. As to the part about her bettering the world and devoting themselves to serve God, I am really having trouble figuring out how writhing around half naked every night is devoting herself to God. I really wish the writer from The Sun had asked a followup question but he was probably so numb from the response that his brain would not work fast enough. Goodness. I wonder if she really believes it or if she just thought of it when she was watching a movie or what, but when I think of this group I do not see them collecting offering before, during or after the show and somehow I don't see Melody doing anything other than talking a good game before going off to do something very un nun like. Although, judging from the photo above, she may consider Bow Wow to be her God and then the whole quote would make much more sense.

Did I Miss Something?

I read lots and lots of news sites each day, but at the same time I know that there are things I am going to miss. In fact I miss a great deal of it. There is just too much information out there. Sometimes though I think publicists take advantage of the fact there is too much information and we can't remember everything we have seen.

I saw a report today where Renee Zellweger's publicist released a statement that said Renee was single and not dating anyone. At first I thought she was just letting the world know she was available and wouldn't mind a free meal or two. I'm ok with that. Most publicists are a little more subtle about it. Maybe they make some calls, and find someone who they think is a good match and then the couple goes to get some dinner. If the press love them, then they love each other. I know, I know, the mysteries of love.

But apparently the statement was in response to reports that Renee was dating Uma Thurman's ex Andre Balzas. I never saw those reports. Were there such reports? Should I have cared about those reports? It did not make much of a ripple in the gossip world, so the publicist obviously had to change that so she rings up People and gives the statement. Of course People or whoever has no idea what the hell the publicist is talking about, but figures they might have missed the reports. The next thing you know there is a story there made out of absolutely nothing and Renee gets some press away from Kenny Chesney. Yeah, I think so. Same week is just too much of a coincidence.

It's That Time Again

Every six months or so, some feature writer with a longing for the earlier years of their life convinces an editor to let them do a piece on The Goonies and what the cast has been up to over the past twenty years. Because of my fondness for the film, I invariably go ahead and post the story. Well, Variety is the latest to have a go at the film, and the cast has some things to say differently this time around. Instead of just the what happened to angle, Variety uses director Richard Donner as the base, and all the cast reflects on the film and their interactions with Donner as well as their own experiences. If you are a fan of the film, you should read the article. The news to come out of the article is that no sequel right now, but they are working on the musical for Broadway.

Must Have Seen Katie's Performance

I wish I could have taken credit for the rumors that apparently swept the internet that Tom Cruise had died in New Zealand yesterday after falling from some cliffs. Probably more like jumped after he saw Katie on Broadway. Look, I read all the reviews and the first thing I have to say is that is the guy from the NY Times just trying to show the world he is smarter than the rest of us? I feel like we are his children and he is patting us on our heads and sending us away after boring us with an hour dissertation on why each soprano is different. If you have not read the NY Times review of the play you should. Then you should say to yourself, if I ever become this ass, someone kick me.

Even though he called Katie a robot I'm not going to even count it against her. The one I am going with is USA Today and they said basically that maybe she could do a good job in a different play, but not this play and not this director. She just doesn't know how to change gears. Lets face it. Something happened to Katie Holmes. I was going to say the usual about how she was so good in Pieces Of April, but maybe that is all she can do. That one character is all she has in her. With the exception of that has she ever been the world's best actress? Nope. So, why do we expect so much out of her. I say lets realize she is going to suck and maybe now and again she will surprise us. E! said she didn't embarrass herself but E! isn't going to say anything too bad because they are hoping to get an interview with her or Tom or Xenu. At this point they don't really care. Hell, if Xenu was a skank they would give her a reality show right along with the rest.

Blame Everyone But Yourself

Apparently Simon Cowell is the force that pushed former American Idol contestant Nikki McKibbin down into the abyss of drug and alcohol addiction. Uh huh. Apparently Nikki couldn't handle someone who didn't think she was the best singer in the whole world. People had been telling her she was the best since 5 and when Simon started trashing her each week she just couldn't handle it. "I had never been told I wasn't good enough. Having to hear it for so many weeks from Simon Cowell killed me inside. I couldn't get the s--t he had said to me out of my head."

Nikki is doing a bunch of press for the new season of Celebrity Rehab. I am thinking of watching just to see Gary Busey and what the hell he tells everyone. Can you imagine trying to get sober and having Gary Busey rattling off all his Buseyisms at you? You would tell Dr. Drew enough, walk out the door and go get hammered.

You know what debate I would love to see? Dr. Phil and Gary Busey. Just throw out a phrase or a topic and see what the hell they do with each one.

Anyway, back to Nikki. In an interview with US Weekly she says that at times during her Idol run, that even though the group was heavily chaperoned she would buy vodka and sometimes have a drink or two if she was not too tired. Umm, so do lots of people. It is called getting through another miserable day working for the man. Also, if you were so heavily chaperoned how did you manage to go buy the vodka, and drink it every night? I'm glad you are clean and sober, but trying to blame everything on Simon seems like a contradiction of the whole sobriety thing. He could have triggered your lack of self-confidence. I mean you did get beat by Justin after all. I guess I can see why you turned to the bottle. Also, I think she should be thanking Simon because she got another 15 minutes because of him. If he had been sweet and kind to Nikki then she would have still finished third, done nothing since and have no chance to get back on television. Is that going too far? Well, hey she is the one who is blaming her downward spiral on Simon. I think that is kind of going too far.

Trashy Is As Trashy Does

I must say that it has been a few weeks since I got to write a Denise Richards post and I feel that I am worse off for it. Instead of actually getting to write anything about her, I have been forced to find ridiculous looking mascots and people dressed in hideous Halloween costumes and pretend they are Denise. But, alas, due to the fact that she apparently has an awful real estate agent, I get to spend some time talking about her.

As you may have read here on the site, Denise has been trying to unload her house. This is the house where they are filming the reality show. This isn't the house on the same street three doors down. Hey, isn't that a group? I wonder if maybe she had a thing for a guy in that group and so bought a house three doors down from the first one just so she could have a conversation starter.

Anyway, so Denise has been trying to sell this reality house for a long time but no one wants to buy anything from her, and because of her inflated self-worth she had the house priced way too high even before the market dried up. So, she has since reduced the house price by a million bucks but still no offers.

Well apparently some real estate agent in Calabassas which is where the house is located decided that there must be someone out there who wants to buy the house. As you can see from the ad above, he went back to Denise's old stomping grounds, Craigslist. Hell, who knows she might put an ad up there for old times sake now and again. I'm sure it is Charlie Sheen's homepage.

It is not often that any celebrity would allow either a buyer or seller agent to use the home of massages and hookers to also advertise their home for sale. But, at this point, I'm sure Denise is just happy to have someone who is trying to sell it, and I'm sure she has a lot of faith in the power of advertising on Craigslist.

Thanks Chappel

Ted C Blind Item

OK, you sexual preachers, it's been quite the week for preferences and politics, all zeroing in on just what we do in the privacy of our bedrooms. Are some actors gay but pretending to be straight? Vice versa? And how much leaning one way or the other then negates one's true sexual calling?

Forget all that. 'Cause here we got one majorly obvious hetero dude and his skanky actions with chicks. No, not in between the sheets, hons. We're goin' for where it counts: the wallet. And the schmuck-wad factor. Listen...

Henry Skank hasn't always been in the lauded limelight. It's been a slow crawl upwards from his hole-in-the-wall comedy days to makin' sweet paydays like he is now, just secs into the big-green club. But what he lacked in his bank account mere moments ago, he made up for with tons of babes.

Back when he was just a struggling funnyguy instead of the nascent success job he is now, H.C. was dating three babes all at the same time, and not one of 'em knew about the other. He even had the audacity to gift each gal the same exact present recently. Even more unfortunate, the prezzies were from not Tiffany's, but Walgreens, painfully proving the dude wasn't rolling in dough—or class.

Cheap goodies can be found, darling, but not there. At least, not when orgasms are involved. Who knew this somewhat handsome man—who's still with one of these honeys (apparently the one who doesn't mind drugstore romance)—was once such a cretin Casanova? Guess women aren't lying when they say they like a guy who makes 'em laugh. But they probably prefer a man who's monogamous.

Today's Blind Items

Former A list rock singer. Now, just someone we love to sing with at clubs and see in the odd film cameo is going blind.

Random Photos Part One

For some reason today I just felt like putting Kristin Scott Thomas on the top. A great actress who I think is really unappreciated. Not today. Today she gets the top spot.

The random photo of the day has from L to R, Angie Harmon, Michele Hicks, Rose McGowan (yep, it's her) and Perry Reeves
This is the photo of Angelina Jolie you get when you don't have press credentials.
This is the one you get when you do.
Facial hair meets chest hair on Adam Levine.
Look, if Danielle Lloyd wants to start her own modeling agency, who am I to say that is wrong. I will say that I find it odd that she chose them all to be posed on a bed in a hotel room in lingerie. What kind of agency is this?

How much money do you need David?
Apparently there is a new show called Crusoe. I'm brilliant like that.
It's a Backstreet Boy
It's an N'Sync'er
Could have put Gwen and Gavin up, but I don't think Steve Jobs has ever been in the photos before so I took the other side of the table.

Is it me or do Grant Butler and Eric Mabius spend a great deal of time together?
Eminem looks completely different than the last time I saw a photo of him.
As you know, I am not a fan of Elizabeth Hurley, but she is doing some good work here so she gets in the photos.
Duffy - Los Angeles

Two of my favorites, Jane Krakowski and Andrew McCarthy.

How about this? Howard Jones
Kim Wilde
and Boy George on tour together. Can't wait.
It has been awhile since both of the Duffs were out at an event together.
Umm. Is this dangerous?

Lionel Richie and Akon.
Leona Lewis - New York
Katharine McPhee must have had a check come in because she upgraded the ring.
When is the last time you saw Jeffrey Siebella?

It is almost like Nick Cannon wants to be jumping up and down in the back saying, "look at me."

More action than Nick has probably got all month.
Mika is not as big this year as last. And I believe that is the same tie he always wears.
Mario Cantone just happened to find the two Olympians who won medals for fencing. Could make a joke about men and swords, but that would be too much.
Ummm. Yeah.
I got it. All of you love Simon Baker. Here he is.

Ryan Phillipe, but I didn't see the girlfriend in any photos I saw.
Randy Jackson - Los Angeles
"Look up here, not at my breasts."
Pussycat Dolls - Melbourne
Apparently the Smurfs are still huge in Germany.

Is that a Gargamel, or are you just happy to see me?
Toni Braxton two days in a row just because this is better photo.
That is one way to cover up a wonky eye.
Love Sheryl Crow. Hate the Kirstie Alley line of clothes.

Billy Bob Huh?

So, I really didn't know what to do with the story about David Duchovny splitting up with Tea Leoni because she was doing the dirty with Billy Bob. I mean to me it seems like a guy who was in rehab for sex addiction and a known reputation for loving the ladies probably had more to do with the split than Tea and Billy Bob.

This is the problem I have with the Daily Mail story. I don't have any issue with the fact that Billy Bob hit on Tea. I mean Billy Bob is basically going to hit on anything that appears is capable of walking. My issue and this is weird is that David supposedly went ballistic when he saw all the dirty text messages from Billy Bob. I'm guessing he must have seen these when he got back from rehab? It would not be the first time that someone got busted for that or their call log although I would hate to see what David's looks like also.

What really bothers me though is that I honestly don't see Billy Bob texting. I don't see him sitting there with a phone in his hands, texting people and doing that. This is a guy who has some of the weirdest phobias in the world and I just don't see him sitting around using his BlackBerry to text people. Hell, I am not sure he even has a cell phone. I mean he must have one, but I can't think of a photo where he was holding one. Look at all the celebrity photos you have ever seen and at least half the time, someone is holding a phone in their hand. Never with Billy Bob. A beer? Sure. A woman? You bet. A stupid grin on his face? All the time. But, just don't see him just texting like crazy.

Would You Hit On Jack Nicholson?

In an interview with The Sun, Jack Nicholson says he doesn't hit on women anymore. He says that at 71 it just feel strange to go up to a woman and flirt or hit on them. I can see why that would be an issue, but I also think it is easy for Jack to say that and let us all saw, "awwwww" and love the guy.

The reason it is easy? Apparently because he doesn't even have time to hit on women because of all the women who are always approaching him. "Happily, when it comes to girls hitting on me, I'm not undernourished." See, that is why what he says about being uncomfortable seems a bit trite. I don't know if that is the right word or not, but if hitting on women at 71 makes him uncomfortable, why is it easier if they come up to him? Is it because he doesn't have to worry about being rejected if they come on to him? He also had the strangest quote in the interview when he said, "It's not so nice when you are 71 and looking for some action. I feel uncomfortable doing it in the limelight - so from now on I'll do it when it's right."

To me that sounds like he is calling 1-800-ESCORTS and telling them his name is Pablo. I mean he is Jack Nicholson. Where is he meeting all these women who are hitting on him if they are not doing it in public? Does he have some facebook page or something? Is he on Match.com? I guess maybe he means he doesn't need to have the world knowing who he is with, which is understandable but again leads me to believe that he may not be finding his women in the same place that you and I would seek to find a date.

NY Post Blind Item

WHICH billionaire tycoon is going to wed a much younger woman who's never been married before? She's been after the old codger since his wife of decades died .

WHICH rock superstar has been having an affair with his young blond personal assistant? His longtime wife might suspect the worst because they've been squabbling plenty lately.

But Will They Name It Seven?

Ahh, the name Seven brings back great memories doesn't it? You had Married With Children and Seinfeld both do the honors of naming a kid Seven. I personally love the name Seven. I even think that if I get married again, since it would be #7 that it would be really lucky for me as well. Well, Angelina Jolie told the Today Show this morning that she and Brad Pitt are going to adopt #7 after the twins turn six months old. Wow. There was no hesitation, no hemming and hawing or anything. No need for gossip blogs to speculate about whether Brangelina is going to add to the brood, she just comes out and says yes. It is amazing to me that they just keep adding and adding and to me at least seems like they spend an equal amount of time with each child. At some point you would think they would forget about someone or leave someone behind. As much as they go from one country to the next and one plane to the next, I can't imagine how many toys and knives and stuff get left behind, but so far at least they have managed to remember to bring all the kids. With all of the activities they do, and with the amount of kids and schools these children attend, they win my award for the most organized mom and dad ever. Below is the video from this morning.

Drank It All Or Had A Party?

Whenever I get the opportunity to take a shot at Mischa Barton, I am of course going to do it. There are so few people I have less regard for than her. I honestly don't care if someone drinks or gets wasted on drugs. I say, just let people live as long as they don't interfere with me or anyone else. Why I have particular dislike for Mischa though is not only the DUI, but also the fact that I think it is because of Mischa that her sister is so messed up. In addition, Mischa has been preaching this high and mighty thing about how she is sober and doesn't do this and I have said it all before and it is crap. Just tell the truth. Just say that you love the taste of a nice cold cheap ass beer after doing nothing all day except whine to your agent about how you deserve better than a walk on role as "Hooker 4" in CSI.

Now, in addition to taking the above shots at Mischa, I thought we should devote ourselves to a serious analysis of why she is buying the beer. It is 18 beers which is about the most Mischa could expect to put away on her own. I know you think it is too many, but let me tell you from personal experience that I have personally witnessed actresses of her same size have no problems doing it.

It is also true that she could be buying it for house guests. Apparently she doesn't think much of her house guests because she bought them Bud Light in a can. It could also be for a party by the pool, hence the need for cans. I mean she is actually dressed nicely for her. But, if it were a party, don't you think she might decide to spend more than $10 and also to bring more than 18 cans?

Alcoholics who drink beer always go cheap when they drink alone. Always. They are not trying to impress anyone. They just want to drink and be done with it. Plus in the case of an actress, it makes them full so they don't have to eat. I say it is hers.

What Was The Pepper Spray For?

I just really can't get enough of the O'Neal family. For some reason I think I am fascinated with their whole family saga far more than any other Hollywood family. I mean sure, there are some things I would like to know about other families, or the behavior of a certain parent with a certain daughter or something. But nothing compares to the fascination I have for the O'Neal family. Plus, as a bonus I can kind of throw in Melanie Griffith if I order within the next 15 minutes. If I didn't think they would just lie for the entire interview I would try and do just that to find out everything I always wanted to know. I would ideally like to have Tatum, Ryan, and Melanie all in the same room at one point. Do you know how much fun that would be?

So, the district attorney obviously didn't believe Ryan's lawyer when he said they had no idea where the drugs came from found in Ryan's bedroom because the DA charged Ryan with felony drug possession. If you are Redmond and you are addicted to meth and heroin and your dad is a guy who is trying to keep you off of those drugs, do you really think he would be stashing his extra in dad's room? I guess Ryan could say he confiscated it from Redmond. He may have done just that and then decided to smoke some for the hell of it. Or, maybe he and Redmond were cooking it up in the backyard, or maybe Ryan buys from a dealer at wholesale and sells it to Redmond with just a little markup. I mean dad does have to get paid and gas is expensive still out here. No credit either. Redmond has to pay dad in cash.

When the cops came, they allegedly found drugs on Redmond's person. I say allegedly because hey, it could have been sugar or something. What cracks me up is that with all those felony charges, you would think that would be enough. Nope. I think Redmond must have said some crap to one of the police because Redmond was also charged with illegally possessing pepper spray. Umm, that is such a crap charge. He ticked off one of the cops and so they added that on there. And Redmond you live in Malibu. What the hell do you need pepper spray for?

This Would Have Been Nice To Know Last Week

The NY Post is reporting they have seen a sex tape between Peter Cook and Diana Bianchi which was made while they were doing it in Peter's office. On the same tape are several other photographs from various times when Diana decided she wanted Peter to take her photo topless. So, since this is some kind of compilation tape, I'm guessing that David made the tape. I sure wish this news had come out last week so Barbara Walters could have asked Peter all about it. Some reporter did ask him and his lawyer said that anything is possible because the couple were in a consensual relationship. Umm, yes. But she was 18 and he is middle age. I mean, if she had been six months younger, he would be in jail. Apparently according to Diane's attorney the tape was not made with her consent. She is therefore considering legal action until peter can come up with a good enough monetary split from the sale of the tape.

Oh, it will be sold and Peter and Diana will split the money. Why did Peter go on 20/20? Was he looking to score more women? Do we really think he cares about getting his reputation back? I don't think he cares one bit. I think he is perfectly happy being the ass and loves having his name in the news. So, Peter gets his name out there on a national talk show to people who may have never heard of him or didn't hear about the trial or details. What happens next? A sex tape of that very same couple with DVD extras. I just think that is a pretty strange coincidence.

I would not be surprised if Peter himself showed the NY Post.

Today We Celebrate Prince Harry And Prince William

At this point in the relationship between Benji Madden and Paris Hilton, I guess Benji is just some kind of dog Paris keeps around for when she needs something to do or someone to buy her something. I say this because the second Benji is not around, Paris tries to find someone better than him. Apparently Benji must not care and is perfectly happy being dumped on and disrespected. Well, whatever. The good news is that Paris got herself rejected not once, but twice last night and the rejection was done by none other than Prince William and Prince Harry.

So, it is 2am at the club Whiskey Mist. Lots of royalty there last night including William and Harry. Well, the Valtrex one strolled in around 2am and when she saw Harry she must have started salivating because she practically sprinted towards him. What did Harry do? Ignored her. Kept talking to his friends. To get his attention, Paris did what she always does. Some kind of stripper grind that works with the likes of Benji, and other guys who can't get any, but not with Harry. He finally did look up, stood up, shook her hand and walked away from her. Nice. Oh, you know he knew who she was and he also knew what she wanted and I love it.

So, what does Paris do? She goes over to where Prince William is sitting with a woman who was not his girlfriend, and does the exact same dance right in front of him. It was like she was waiting for a tip or at stripper school they only taught her one dance or she has no creativity and no imagination which is why she has the same vacant stare on her face year after year. William noticed her, and Paris did get to sit down for about ten seconds. William then got up and left her sitting there alone. Wow. Paris I'm sure then called Benji and told him to buy her something.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which celeb makes no secret of his "secret" drug habit? He was supposed to have given them up years ago but offers strange looking pills to young ladies whenever he is out...

Today's Blind Items

This B list film actor who has always done films is in the midst of quite the career comeback. However, on the set of his latest film he has reconnected with an old friend from the past. The old friend was his drug dealer who has always been known as the drug dealer to the stars. No, granted, being seen at dinner with the guy does not mean our actor is partaking again of drugs, but why is he even having dinner with him in the first place?

Random Photos Part One

Gale Harold seems like he is going to make a full recovery after a really bad motorcycle accident. Since he is going to be ok, can we make some kind of joke about how he probably did it because he didn't want to be Teri Hatcher's boyfriend even for pretend? Is that too much? I wouldn't do it if he was not going to make it, but everyone says he is going to be fine.
Sir David Frost at the premiere of the film about his interview with Nixon. In the previews I have to say he comes off as a bit of an ass. But, I guess he must like it if he showed up.

The interesting combination of the day goes to Ashley Angel Parker and Jason Statham.
So, who would you rather be married to? I'm going with Courteney Cox just so I don't have to see Bruce Willis everyday. Of course if you married Courteney, it is possible that Alexis could be some kind of stalker and try and get you for breaking up her brother's marriage.

Just because I haven't seen Brittany Snow around for awhile.
I have a tough time reading lips in a still photograph, but I think Brittny Gastineau is asking Kim Kardashian how much she charges for each hour now.
It is like looking at an AT&T commercial with all the bars lined up.
My favorite couple of the day goes to Josh Brolin and Diane Lane. They always win though when they show up just because they seem real. They fight they make up they support each other. Both are good looking. I think this is a win/win for everyone when I post their photo.

Have you ever been to a wax museum? I always think they are going to come to life or blink or something right when I am walking past.
David Cooley, a maybe drunk Lance Bass and look, it is Toni Braxton. Toni is out and about. Glad to see that.
So, since The Hills is apparently going to go off the air after this season, I think this would be the time to give Casey Patridge her own show. What she would do is spend a week with each former cast member of The Hills and beat the crap out of them for 30 minutes while berating them for wasting our lives with their show.
A long time since I have seen Colin Hanks at anything.

This is London today. Toby Jones and Kevin Bacon. Obviously called each other and coordinated their hair.

This is New York last night. Toby Jones. Hair just a touch straighter though.
James Van Der Beek and his wife Heather.
Wow. Just because you are not filming your reality show right now Denise, does not mean you should stop shaving.
Meh. I just like to see you go off on Debra Messing. But, since she has a new show and you probably like it, you will all be nice and complimentary. Is she still pretending to be married or has that thing gone official? I can't ever remember.
Just have always been a big fan of Paul Oakenfold and so thought I would show him some love.

Just because I don't think I had seen a photo of Oliver Stone and his family.
One of the funniest guys around is Mo Rocca.
Seriously. LSD and Lindsay's shirt. Not a good idea.
Well this is Kirsten Dunst last night. Aside from the horrible tanning job she looks like she has recovered from Monday night.

"So, Joshie, I said to him. I don't think so. I mean, I was like, I don't know about your house, but in my house we just don't do that. And you know Joshie, I'll tell you he was like, oh no she didn't, and I was like, oh yes she did. I mean, have you ever heard anything more messed up. I mean, I was like..."

Richard Dreyfus even poses like a jerk.
Another truly funny guy. Rob Corddry.
I wanted to put Richard Carpenter on the top, but I decided against it. He announced his musical comeback in Japan today. Man, I need to get out the 8-tracks tonight.
Weren't Rob Buckley and Lindsay Price a blind item? Did I reveal it already? I can't remember.
Apparently this is going to be the #1 most requested toy for Christmas. Now, how can they judge that?

So, I've decided that high waisted jeans remind me of a guy who is about 70. At about that age you basically just pull the pants right over the gut and you basically have about two inches between your chest and pants.
The Lowes are just a marketing dream huh? If you didn't want to do it, then don't go.
I believe that Billy Ray Cyrus is indicating that Tish Cyrus is going to help Justin with his zipper.
Yeah. I will let all of you handle this one.

Jealous Much?

You want to listen to a guy who is worried he is going to lose his meal ticket at any second? Here is Nick Cannon talking about directing Mariah Carey in her new video and watching her pretend to have sex with another man. "We did it in, like, one take and I had to kick the dude out. It was one of those situations where I wasn't intimidated but I could've knocked him out at any point. He was playing, like, a fictional character, but I could have done without it."

Umm, I think what Nick is trying to say here is that he wishes that Mariah showed him the same kind of attention real life. I mean here was some actor who was probably gorgeous who got to fool around with Mariah without having to do her laundry, scrape her corns, or be called Mrs. Carey. Sure, Nick is going to be jealous. He also knows that the only thing he has going for him are his looks and that he met Mariah on a video set pretty much doing the dame thing as the this guy. If she decides maybe the other guy has a little more something to offer her and is a little better at trimming her toenails, Nick is gone. He knows this.

One take? Nick probably didn't care if it came out or not, there was no way that guy was going to get to get any more face time with Mariah. You don't really see intense jealousy or insecurity crop up in just one or two sentences, but Nick did a great job of it.

More Rehab For Depression?

In one of the more creative excuses for going to rehab, Kirsten Dunst told the world that she went to Cirque Lodge in Utah to treat her depression and not for drug or alcohol abuse. Umm. Yeah. Well, then if that is true she may want to consider some time there for alcohol abuse because on Monday night she seems to have parties her butt off. That is probably the wrong expression, because you can't actually party your butt off can you? I mean if that were the case, I would have no butt, and let me tell, you, I have plenty of butt.

Kirsten was hanging out with friends at La Poubelle which is French I think for Winnie The Pooh. I'm not sure about that though as French is not a language I'm very fluent in. Oh sure, I can order booze or food or ask where the bathroom is, but beyond that and I am just Vous parlez anglais? If they don't, then I suffer. If they do, I get them drunk and stay with them. Hey, don't knock it until you try it. It is cheaper than a hotel and hey, once you live in a basement, they are pretty much all the same the world over.

So, anyway, Kirsten was looking like death, but she didn't puke all over anyone and she managed to stumble out of the place under her own power, so that's good. Maybe they taught her in Cirque that drinking is a great way to escape depression. That seems wrong, but hey, once again, she did not go to Cirque for alcohol or drug abuse. And if you think she was lying, let me remind you that she gave us her word that she did not smoke. It was all rumors.

Didn't Taste Like Chicken

Ever eaten a bat? Me either. But I would have bet that anyone who did would have said it tasted like chicken. I would have been wrong. The only person I know of who openly talks about eating a bat is Ozzy Osbourne. In an interview with Classic Rock Magazine he described his famous bat eating incident, and remarkably said it didn't taste like chicken.

Want to know what it tasted like? McDonalds. Oh yeah. I'm sure the people at McDonalds must be loving this. I can just see their new ad campaign. Ozzy and Ronald McDonald getting together with some super size fries and bat burgers. It is bad enough that McDonalds taste like crap anyway, but now we know why. The stuff tastes like bat. No need to risk rabies or anything like that to get your bat fix. Nope. Just head on over to McDonalds. I don't think it is a coincidence they are giving out Batman toys in their Happy Meals. Nope, they must have known.

I also didn't see Ozzy as a purveyor of McDonalds. Can you imagine the conversation that would take place between Ozzy and the cashier at the drive thru window? It must take like 30 minutes.

A Celebrity Who Can Cook

As you know, it has been my mission of late to slam celebrities who come out in whatever interview they happen to be giving to say they are the greatest cooks and they cook all their meals and blah, blah, blah. Well for once I have found a celebrity who apparently can cook. And guess what? She hasn't said jack about it which means it is probably true. Gordon Ramsay is going to be hosting his what seems like millionth television show which will be aired in the UK. It is kind of like 30 minute meals but without the annoyance factor. It is actually going to be called Cookalong Live and going to be an hour in duration. Of course 30 minutes of it will be bleeped out because of Gordon's cussing, but it should still be more entertaining than 30 minutes of Yum or EVOO.

One of Gordon's first guests in the live program? Victoria Beckham. Yep. I know. It doesn't look like she eats, but according to Gordon t least, she can cook. He even says she cooks well. "Victoria can cook. We went round to dinner at her and David's recently and we had a great meal. We had a really nice halibut and a yellow tomato soup with pesto." Now, coming from a celebrity, I would say he is just trying to plug his show, but I don't think Gordon would be shy about his opinion. He will trash a celebrity if they can't cook, so I guess Victoria actually knows what she is doing. And fish? That is a tough one to cook. Now granted, since Gordon was coming she probably cooked about 40 pieces of fish and gave him the best one, but still, she managed to get at least one right. And the best thing? No interview where she brags about her cooking skills.

Heathers 2 Huh?

I could go for a Heathers 2. Apparently Christian Slater could as well. Do we even need to ask Winona Ryder? I mean at this point she would be up for pretty much anything. Giving her a role where there was a chance to make some money and where she could relive some of that 80's glory would probably cause her to stop breathing. The idea that she could be in something not direct to video, would be kind of different for her.

Christian was doing some press for his new television show. I bet back in the 80's when everyone said he was going to be the next Jack Nicholson that he didn't see himself doing a cross country tour promoting some network drama for himself after a big drop off in his career either. Fame is fleeting. Especially so when you hit your ex-girlfriend and spend a couple of years drinking your way around the world.

"For a certain period of time I met a girl, got involved with her, and it was pretty much brought into that relationship all the tools that I had at that particular time, which was jealousy, insecurity, neurosis, fear, paranoia - not the best tools to enter into a relationship.

"I found myself at home one night with a bottle of champagne, popped the cork, poured the glass, said 'God keep an eye on me', downed the drink and went on this phenomenal two-year run where I pretty much drank my way around the world."

Now, me I have been on benders of biblical proportions but I most of them do not take me all over the world, and I know for a fact that none of them started with a glass of champagne. I mean that is a great story until you find out he started a two year alcoholic haze with bubbly wine. Come on Christian. Make something up. Tell me you chugged a bottle of gin and that is a great story. The champagne and the God reference is just a bit much. Too dramatic. Tell me that you went through $10,000 worth of coke and the only thing you had to drink was champagne and I'm ok with it. Because right now I see you sitting at home and debating whether to try an 89 Dom or a non vintage Krug. Not exactly two year bender stuff. But, I am glad about the Heathers 2 thing so make it happen.

Not About Politics - About Your Wife Kicking Your Ass

Umm, there is one thing I have learned in my six marriages. When you come to an agreement with your wife, it is best to honor that agreement or life will become very miserable for you very quickly. If you agree to take out the trash, and you don't, you get a tiny version of misery. If you go behind your wife's back and decide to go gambling with her birthday present money there is another level of misery. And some nights sleeping in the garage and sharing the dog's blanket, but we don't need to go there right now. But, I would say that when you have a once in a lifetime event like a child, and you and your partner or wife or whatever spend nine months coming up with a name, that you as a husband ought to put that name down on the birth certificate because if you don't and put down something else, I think the misery level is going to be something that will haunt you for the rest of your life and keep you lying awake at night.

Some guy in Tennesse apparently must sleep in full body armor, because he did just that. He and his wife had agreed on the name Ava Grace which is a lovely name. Not as lovely as others, but not as horrible as say, Apple. The husband, a McCain Palin supporter and I guess a guy with a huge ego decided to name the daughter Sarah McCain Palin. Yep. Didn't even bother to put his own last name on the end. His wife, needless to say was not pleased. The fact that he is still even alive or has his d**k still I put down to the fact that she is still in the hospital. Apparently he is also their spokesperson. "I don't think she believes me yet. It's going to take some more convincing."

Umm, if he thinks he can convince his wife, then he must make a whole lot of money. Hell, even if he bought her everything under the sun, and she let him keep the name, do you think that will be the end of it? Nope. Everytime someone has a baby she is going to tell the story and he is going to have to hear about it over and over and over again.

I Know I've Said This Before

Look, you can skip ahead if you don't want to read about me saying a few words about the Anne Hathaway and Raffaello Follieri thing. I was going to leave it alone. I promise. I was reading an article that said that Raffaello wrote a letter to the judge asking to only serve three years instead of the four he agreed to in his plea deal. He is scheduled to be sentenced next week. I imagine he wants three because then he would be out in about 1/3 to half that amount of time. Hell, if he was in California state prison, they probably would have already sent him home.

So, this is my beef. As you know, Anne enjoys the same publicist as Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston sells magazines despite how much I dislike her and rail against her. Therefore, if you are a magazine it would behoove you to be nice to all of Jeff Huvane's clients if you ever want an exclusive and cover story with Jennifer Aniston.

So, while reading the article on the prison sentencing, I happened to notice this headline in the related section. Anne's Prince Turns Out To Be A 'Conman'. When I read this it just makes it seem that Anne was a victim and that she had no idea what was going on for the entire time they were dating. This is a couple that never went longer than an hour or two without talking. They lived together and were together constantly and she never knew? She was the victim? Raffaello is a crook. No problem with it. Don't know why Kneepads had to go the conman route, but whatever. But the headline conveys an image of Anne desperately in love with a man she didn't know, and that she wanted a prince and ended up with some kind of criminal. I for one am not buying it. I know lots of you are buying it, and that's fine. This blog would suck if everyone agreed with everyone all the time. I just can't stand her high and mighty attitude or how she was a perfect angel in this. She was looking out only for herself, and when the net got tighter, she wriggled free.

A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words

I think that anyone who saw this photo of Guy Ritchie at his 40th birthday party which was taken immediately after Madonna left should have known something was up. I have searched and searched and have barely found any photos were Guy is even smiling during the bazillion years he was married to Madonna. The only time he ever cracks a smile is when one of the kids is around and Madonna is not looking. It is kind of like there is a ban on smiling when she is around.

All the tabloids say that Guy is going to get $300M or some ridiculous amount. He might be entitled to that amount, but I am willing to wager that Guy takes the high road in this thing. As long as Madonna doesn't try and screw him or something, I think Guy will walk away pretty cheaply. I mean look at how happy he is. That has to be worth at least $100M right there. As for Madonna. This will be interesting. Is she going to start dating Alex Rodriguez publicly? Did she slip something in his drink? Madonna's rep made the statement announcing the divorce which means it was probably Madonna's idea. I say probably because most British actors and directors and musicians seem to do a pretty good job of doing their own talking. For some reason it just seems that maybe American celebrities for whatever reason either because they are idiots, or because it makes them feel important, rarely make any announcements on their own. To me it seems much cheaper if you are a celebrity to pick up a phone, make a free call to People and tell them something rather than pay someone $5000 a month or more to do the same thing.

Today's Blind Items

New celebrity mom. Same old tricks. When daddy is away, mom has been popping pills that she is getting from her doctor. At the same time she has another doctor who is keeping her hooked on hillbilly heroin. Must be fun for the baby. Must be why dad is spending so much time away from mom.

Random Photos Part One

Starting us off is Beau Bridges. I think it is his first time and the photos and he makes the top.
Bai Ling makes the photos today just because she is actually wearing clothes. Still hate those band-aids though.
Wow. That is some serious fug. It is kind of like Christina has become the perception we had. She is really getting bizarre.
Colin Farrell looks pretty damn good. It has been a long time since he has been in the photos.
Never really see Diablo Cody like this. Very demure.
And very grey. Goodness. Fergie kind of looks like Kirstie Alley.

Emma Thompson and the scarf that is not really a scarf. I never understood that. Just throw a piece of fabric over the shoulders and call it stylish. I like Emma, not the cheesecloth from her kitchen.
Never put a real person next to an airbrushed photo.
Yeah, yeah, but I can't hate all Scientologists. I like Erika Christensen.
I really like Donal Logue. He is one of my favorite actors and I wished he worked more. I am probably the only person on the planet who loved Grounded For Life.
Remember when the American Music Awards meant something? Now the nominations are hosted by Jesse McCartney and Julianne Hough.

That is an interesting look from Jude Law. I call it trapeze artist
Jason Biggs and his wife who is now being referred to by the wire services as guest. Nice.
Have to admit that Jessica Alba looks incredible.

Nelly Furtado is one of my favorite Canadians. Not the favorite though.

And Mark Wahlberg is one of my least favorite, what is he? American? Yeah, so they made fun of you on SNL. Grow a pair. Get over it.
I bet Mila Kunis wouldn't mind if they made fun of her. Not that they would.
Apparently they ran out of cement for the hand prints and so are using chewed blueberry bubblegum.
Madonna just because anytime she is not on the streets or on stage she looks really good.

Wow. Seal must have stolen that from a mannequin of a losing contestant on Runway.

How Do You Blow $248M?

Evander Holyfield who is the former heavy weight champion of the world and a bit of an ear less than the rest of us, is apparently broke. How broke? He doesn't even have enough money to pay a few thousand bucks for child support. According to TMZ Evander's ex and mother to their 11 year old child, Evander has ignored a court order that he pay all back child support by September 1st. Umm, it is now the middle of October and still no money so his ex is going to court to have Evander either pay or go to jail.

If someone wants to blow $248M in a few years that is their right, but you would think at some point when he was earning millions of dollars per fight that he might of set a little something aside to take care of his child. I understand his need to probably have a staff of 50 to make sure he never had to actually set his feet on the ground or lift a hand, but don't you think that perhaps the child you had would come first before you decided on the hookers, strip clubs and booze?

Evander, who is now 46 is attempting to get another fight. Yeah, that should be a lot of fun to watch. For the 30 seconds it lasts he can tell his kids he is doing it for them. The trouble is he should have been doing it for his kids the whole time.

No Mile High Club And No Porn

With airlines charging a fee for everything nowadays, you would think they would get smart. Oh sure, charging to use the bathroom would be a smart one, but all the rest are just idiotic and don't do anything except to piss people off. I don't think any of you probably noticed but yesterday there was an announcement from the Association of Flight Attendants that they had convinced Delta and American Airlines to filter out porn from their in-flight wi-fi systems. Apparently the flight attendants who are to monitor all content being shown on laptops, didn't want to confront anyone watching porn.

Look, I don't want some 8 year old kid sitting next to a businessman who decides that the only way his food is going to taste better is if he eats while he watches Jenna Jameson eat if you get my drift. That's wrong. I agree that it should be filtered there. BUT, I think the airlines are missing out on a valuable fee generating business here. In the back of the plane, you have a little adults only section. Separate wi-fi with free porn, bartender, video poker, extra roomy bathroom in case you meet someone, and all for a fee of like $100 per person. The airlines would make a killing. If you make it look cool enough, people will pay. I would much rather pay $100 to do that, then pay $100 for them to just carry my bag which they are supposed to do in the first place. How the hell are you supposed to go anywhere without a bag? The purpose of an airline is to get you from point A to point B. Generally the least expensive tickets require you stay over at least one night. Umm, you want me to just wear sets of clothes for each day I am going to be gone? Just peel them off as I go, and shed them like skin. When I get down to my last wrinkled outfit it is time to go home.

Writing Your Life Story In Two Days

You remember when Miley Cyrus signed her book deal back in June or July? Yeah, of course you don't because you and I both know that Miley Cyrus has about 2:25 left in her fifteen minutes. So, since she probably knows it as well she grabbed that multi-million dollar book advance to write her autobiography. Now when I say write, I think what we mean is that someone who can actually read and write would be listening to several hours of "OMG's" and "for sures," and try and come up with some kind of meaning to the thoughts that would actually lead to sentences.

Well, according to Miley she managed to "write" her entire autobiography in just a few hours, but isn't sure when it is coming out. "I'm not sure when it's going to come out. It's finished but you've got a long process of editing and all that kind of stuff, so it takes a while." It especially takes awhile when your subject is 15 years old and probably has nothing relevant or important to say that took place more than a year earlier. I understand that book companies are trying to make a buck and I am all for encouraging young people to read, but isn't there a better way? Do we need 15 year olds writing about their life? I will tell you what. I would actually buy her an autobiography if I got to sit with her for about 8 hours and ask the questions I want to ask and I guarantee you it is not going to be what color her walls are painted in her bedroom and why.

Oh, and if you care about the show Hannah Montana, better enjoy this season because it is going to be the last unless Disney ponies up some serious dough to Billy Ray. If you were Disney, would you? Hello Selena Gomez, and don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out Billy Ray. We'll see you down the road for Celebrity Fit Club or Rehab or something.

Beard For Show - Nice Trade

So, yesterday I ran a photo of Sophie Monk in the photos. I know most of you didn't see it because most of you were off yesterday while I toiled away, and typed my fingers to the bone for those of us who actually did have to work yesterday. Anyway, when I was looking at the photo and wondering what the side effects to botox are, I started remembering how she and Ryan Seacrest were supposedly dating. Remember those stories? A laugh a minute here, but for some reason in Australia, they believe them. Maybe they don't think Sophie would lie to them or maybe they are just glad she is rid of Benji Madden. I can see that. Actually Sophie doesn't ever say yes or no.

It is interesting though that Ryan got a nice little boost of heterosexualness when the story first came out. And now, wouldn't you know it, Ryan is producing a reality show for Sophie because lets face it, what we need is someone no one knows and have people record her life. Seriously, this is what you get for pretending to go out with Ryan Seacrest? A reality show? I could put up with bad clothes and 80's hair gel for a couple of days for a television show. In case you are curious about the title of the show it is called "Better Than Paris." Yeah, well that's like saying stepping in cat crap is better than stepping in dog crap. Oh, and guess what? There is a bidding war. Yeah. MTV and E! are supposedly dying to air it and keep raising the price. Why? Does anyone really care? Tell me if you do and I will shut up about it.

One Night

I want to say upfront that I am not condoning the behavior of Gerard Butler. In this one case though, maybe. See, Shanna Moakler to me is one of the worst excuses for a human being on the planet. She goes from guy to guy always searching for someone more rich or more famous or someone who can help her career. I never feel any of it is for love. If you believe Travis Barker, and at this point I have no reason not to, Shanna only went to see him in the hospital for publicity. This is the father of some of your kids and you only went to see him almost dying in the hospital for publicity? Plus, she had the nerve to throw him under a bus when he said that. She started rattling off about how tragedies bring people together or split them apart. True, but maybe for the sake of your kids you could suck it up and put aside your differences while daddy is laying in the hospital after a plane crash. I also heard she was pissed that the hospital would not let her bring food into the room where he was staying and she wanted to do her nails, and kept calling and talking to people on the phone and they were ready to kick her out when she called it a day.

I documented in one of the jackass blinds what she did to her friends and her "staff." So, the fact that Gerard Butler appears to be letting her make an ass out of herself for his affections and his money is kind of humorous. Actually it is really humorous. I just hope that when Gerard took her home for a few hours that he used like some kind of triple latex formula because, this is Shanna Moakler we are talking about here.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which ex-footy star has been playing away with two blonde beauties behind his wife's back? The former England ace even has videos of his sordid affairs...

Today's Blind Items

#1- Well that didn't take long. Apparently this reality celebutante is making up for the fact that she had to play the aggrieved girlfriend for so long. Turns out that just about any actor who is above C list has a shot at her which is what our former B list movie actor, and now lucky to get a C part but with some serious name recognition found out. No sex or anything like that, but they did manage to grope each other for 45 minutes in a corner this weekend.

#2 - This rock star's daughter didn't wait too long to get pregnant did she? Umm, but who is the dad?

Random Photos Part One

I'm not 100% sure Dennis Hopper understands what's going on, but hey, Victoria can explain. I figure if you win some award from a government for acting and they put the medal thingy around your neck, you should get the top spot.
Despite the fact that I'm pretty sure neither Agyness Deyn or Albert Hammond Jr have ever listened to a cat Stevens record, I still like the photo a lot. Sunday afternoon in New York in the fall strolling the streets hand in hand. Give it a few years and he will spend all day Sunday watching football (either American or UK) and sitting in his chair with the only exercise being a trip to the bathroom he had especially installed in the entertainment room.
I don't remember if I have ever had AnnaLynne McCord in the photos. I know I have never had her sister Angel. Guess their parents had some kind of A theme they were trying to work through.
Not the way you usually see Brandon Boyd of Incubus. Kind of cool like this though.
Evan Rachel Wood Manson Zombie and her brother. Wonder what he thinks of the whole thing. He looks like as long as you give him $20 and let him backstage he would be cool with anything.

Yes, yes, it is Daniel Craig time and will be for the next month or so.
I will even give you a second one as well as his co-star Olga Kurylenko.
Don't often see Chris Masterson out by himself. When he goes out it is usually with his brother.
Have we got to the point now where we need photographers tracking down the Brangelina plane? You know why they do this right? In case it blows up. It is the only reason they are taking pictures as it lands.
Jeffrey Donavon is a good looking guy. I can say that. I am comfortable with who I am.

Heart - Los Angeles
Franz Ferdinand & TI - Brooklyn
Eve and Ludacris really look good here together.
El Tri - Mexico City
Allegedly Katie Holmes got really ticked at this photographer because he was too close and because he took a photo from a side which she does not enjoy. It really looks like she and Tom just trade out hairpieces each day doesn't it?

I really do want to see Jodie Sweetin's television show.
Jane Seymour looks completely different from last month when she was in the photos. Same dress, different person.
Yes, I like Jamie Lynn Sigler, but not as much as I used to for reasons I can't go into here, but also the fact that she wore this dress is not that great either.
Yes, it's Jimmy Kimmel and the whole spread of Jimmy in GQ should be very funny.
The name of the day goes to Q'orianka Kilcher. Yeah, that must have been fun to learn how to spell in kindergarten.

Jesus, Mickey. You win an award and this is what happens. Did you know that Mickey was supposed to play the Tom Cruise role in Rain Man? Yep.
I believe this Hemingway is Mariel, but I can never keep track.
Mitzi Gaynor looks amazing.
In case you wanted some surfers, I can help you with that. Kelly Slater and Rob Machado.
You all should be grateful that I didn't post the closeup of Sophie Monk. I don't know if she and some botox or collagen got into a fight, but it is not pretty.

Look at the distance between Steffi Graf and Mariah Carey.
Nick Cannon is going to get sent back to the kids table if he keeps that up.
The lovely Rachel Weisz.
Rose McGowan and the wall that is keeping her from falling.

First time appearance for Zack Ward.

Weezer - Seattle
And the random French dude of the day is Vincent Cassel.
Scott Thompson. You can never have too much of Scott Thompson in your life. Unless of course he lived next door to you. Oh sure for the first few months it would be all laughs, but then I think you would want Scott to spend more time at his place.
Sugar Ray - San Francisco

Marilyn Monroe And Leggings?

Lindsay Lohan launches her line of leggings today in New York. The brand 6126 is so called because it is the birth date of Marilyn Monroe. “I named the collection after Marilyn Monroe’s birth
date, because to me she represents timeless, confident glam -­ and that is
 the voice of this brand.”

Umm, I would agree that Marilyn Monroe was confident in what she wore and definitely a fashion maven. I just don't think she would be wearing what Lindsay Lohan wears and I don't see Marilyn Monroe anywhere in this. i am not the biggest fan of leggings. You would think as a guy, I probably would be, because hey, lets face it, they are always tight, and the way Lindsay wears them you can see just about anything. But to me, that is not glam or classy, just trashy. Marilyn was never about trashy. She was about teasing and being feminine and making you desire her. I don't get that same feeling when I think of Lindsay or her clothes. All I want to do is take a shower.

I also hate how she is exploiting Marilyn Monroe for her own personal benefit. By naming the line 6126 she knows she is going to be asked where it comes from and so then she has this stock answer, and in the very next sentence the reporter will probably mention how Lindsay posed nude just like Marilyn and blah, blah, blah.

Lindsay Lohan is not even close to a Marilyn Monroe, and it is sad that she is trying to use Marilyn for her own personal gain. I wonder if the Estate of Marilyn might like to have a few words with Lindsay.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which closet gay Hollywood star tried it on with a straight actor at a party for one of his plays? The poor chap had to make his excuses and flee.

"I Want To Mob Him Too"

Have you read the Vanessa Paradis interview in the UK Elle this month? If you are a Johnny Depp fan you should. If you harbor some kind of hopes that he is going to dump Vanessa for you, then you really should just not even bother to open it up.

She says that everyone always wants to know when they are getting married. She says she doesn't need to and as for him? "He's got me, and he knows he's got me." So, she says there really is no need because they have it completely perfect. Well that's great. He is rich and a movie star married to a model and a singer with two great kids and they have it perfect? Yeah, but would they be perfect if he made $7 and worked at Whole Foods while she gave manicures to rich tourists? I like to think so. Money is important and makes for less arguments, but I like to think that love conquers all anyway.

I mean this is a couple that had to go months and months without seeing each other because they were in different countries. But, they didn't give up. I like that. If you are in a long distance relationship and just counting down the days until you are together, I think the odds are very good that when you finally do get together, you will be able to get through almost anything.

I think it is great they are together, and they seem perfect for each other.

When she was asked about all the women who seem to mob Johnny wherever they go, she said,

"I understand. I want to mob him all the time, I do. He's a very charming person."

Kenny Chesney Wants Some Sympathy

Kenny Chesney has a new album called Lucky Old Sun. Hell, it might not even be that new. I am too lazy to check and honestly, I have not heard any of it. But, on the album there is a song or two or three about his marriage to Renee Zellweger. Apparently he wants us to sympathize with him over the fact that he has been hurting for the past three years over his four month marriage to her. Ummm, you are the one who married her. Obviously something was messed up. I don't doubt he was in pain, I mean he did wake up next to her for four months, but I'm not sure this is a case of heartbreak or if it is a case of OMG all my secrets almost came out.

I think that it is one of the more bizarre circumstances I have seen in the past few years and there have been no adequate explanations. I have heard things, and you have heard things, but I don't think any of us really knows anything. The song he says is 100% about their relationship is called, "Nowhere to go, nowhere to be." Now, to me that sounds kind of like a vacation because really I think most of us generally have somewhere to go or somewhere to be. I mean I guess it could apply to a homeless person but that would seem kind of callous. It is bad enough he is making us feel bad that we do have somewhere to go and can't sit around the Virgin Islands for three years getting over a marriage to someone that I am not even sure was real. Actually since it was annulled, I'm not sure it even was real. It never happened. It did not exist, so why are we having to hear about it three years later when he admits he has been dating almost non-stop since it ended. Must have not been that damn tragic. Just sounds like an excuse to get some publicity and generate some album sales.

Just Say They Were Pete's Drugs

Mick Whitnall was arrested for allegedly possessing some crack at a cafe and then for allegedly having a whole bunch more back at his place. For those of you who don't know Mick, he is in Babyshambles which of course is the group in which Pete Doherty also calls home.

Apparently Mick got picked up at some place kind of like a Starbucks. I don't know what kind of laws they have in the UK, or if people just normally look the other way, but you really don't see too many people pulling out a crack pipe at Starbucks. Sure, a joint maybe out on the patio, but generally your needles, pipes, and other drug accoutrements are left behind.

If you think you are going to need crack that bad when you just go for coffee, maybe you should have thought ahead and just made some at home. You know, have someone pick you some up at the store so you could sit at home all day and smoke crack. I sure as hell know that if I was Mick I would just say it was Pete's. I know, I know, it is probably a lie and you shouldn't turn on your friends like that, but Pete has much more experience with this kind of thing, and who is to say that Pete might not think they were his anyway.

Crack is so 80's anyway. Mick should be focusing on something new and exciting. Even meth is kind of old. Well, since the cops confiscated all of his, I guess he will be stopping by Amy Winehouse's house after he gets out of jail. To me she is kind of like some kind of magic woman. I still can't figure out how she manages to get her hands on so much drugs. You would think the cops would be watching everyone who goes in there and following them. It is kind of like she is growing it in her basement or something. Wish I could grow something in my basement that is fun. The only thing that grows is mold. Let me tell you it doesn't smoke up very well.

Another Reason To Not Like Vanessa Hudgens

Apparently while on the road doing press for High School Musical Part 48 or whatever they are up to Vanessa Hudgens has been running out of things to say. At this point they have to be pandering to 10 year olds because no one else would ever believe they could still be in high school. At this age they would have already gone out and got their GED's and been living at home while working at Denny's.

Anyway, back to Vanessa. Her latest talking point. See? You like how I did that? It is political season so have to throw in those buzz words. Vanessa has been name dropping Tom Cruise for much of the last week as part of her talking points by saying how sweet he is and nice.

“He was so sweet and such a nice guy…He is an amazing guy and I look up to him.”

Well, if you are looking up to him then you must be shorter than you look. I think the reason he took such a shine to Vanessa is that he had some questions about her relationship with Zac. Yeah, you think I am going to go there don't you? No, I wouldn't do that. It is Columbus Day here today and Thanksgiving in Canada. Do you think I would speculate about that? We could speculate about him lining up replacements for Katie though. Oh, it will happen eventually. I mean according to the tabloids, Katie wants to stay in New York and have Tom be on the other side of the country. When Tom Cruise is nice to someone I always get the feeling that he is just doing it to recruit them, and for no other reason. When he pulls over to the side of the road to help a stranded motorist, I feel like he is doing it for his ego and to make people grateful enough they will drop in for a free stress test.

I'm surprised Tom even knew who Vanessa was. Hell, he probably didn't. According to Vanessa, Victoria Beckham introduced them to each other. Another name drop, although she did not indicate that she and Victoria were friends. Maybe Victoria offered up Vanessa as some kind of sacrifice to Tom so he would stop calling David and Victoria. I could see that.

Marcia Brady And Michael Jackson?

Seriously, it is bad enough that I feel like the only person on the North American continent who is working today but then I have to read about how Marcia Brady aka Maureen McCormick and Michael Jackson dated. How come there are no photos of that? Do I even want to spend some of my few remaining brain cells trying to come up with some kind of mental image for that? When they were having sex was Michael calling out Bobby's name?

Well, Maureen has a new book coming out and I don't know why the hell I didn't hear about it until now, but I will be hitting the bookstore tomorrow when it comes out. Oh, believe me, you will be too. Because this is just a sample of what she talks about. She discusses her romance with TV sibling Barry Williams, her dates with Michael Jackson and Steve Martin, cocaine binges and parties at the Playboy Mansion and the home of Sammy Davis Jr., an unwanted pregnancy and trading sex for drugs.

Marcia trading sex for drugs? Damn. I don't remember any Enquirer stories about that back in the day. I want to read about this, but I swear if she had had some kind of wild orgy at the Playboy Mansion, then reruns of The Brady Bunch are going to take on a whole new meaning.

Apparently she blames much of it on being Marcia. "I'll always be struck by how much a part of people's lives Marcia is and always will be. But now I'm not bothered by the connection. It took most of my life, countless mistakes and decades of pain and suffering to reach this point of equanimity and acceptance," she says.

Who knew a role on a show could cause her to want to sleep with Michael Jackson. No role, and no amount of money is worth that.

Tara Reid Is An Idiot

Well, Tara Reid may be dressing better and look like she is clean and sober, but it doesn't make her any smarter apparently. In an interview with Fox News last week Tara went on and on about how she is not working right now because of the writer's strike and that as soon as it ends she will be getting back to acting. "I totally plan to go back into acting once the strike stops."

Ummm. Tara. Here is a little secret. The strike ended a long time ago. You know all those new shows on television? Going to give you a little hint. Don't tell anyone though. They were written by writers. Yeah, I know. And they even got paid. Tara seems to be lost in her own little world. I have a feeling her world begins and ends right in front of her mirror.

Tara did want the world to know that she is starting a fashion line. Ummm. Again, Tara, with the exception of the past month or so, I think the world is scared about how you might dress them. There does not seem to be a lot of call for a fashion trend based on who looks the easiest to pick up at a bar. With the exception of Mariah Carey, I don't think she is going to find many customers. For her clothes I mean.
