Adrianna Costa Oscar Countdown And Picks

SNEAK PEAK BEHIND THE OSCARS!!!!

Hey Guys!!! Hope you're all having an awesome day. While most of you (I'm sure) are out and about getting tipsy or on your way there, I've been in the middle of madness also known as Hollywood!! I've spent all afternoon at the Kodak Theater getting high off Oscar fumes in preparation for tomorrow's big show!!!
Let me say this- The Security on the Red-Carpet is probably tighter than it is at The White House--- Nobody is slipping through!! That's why I was as covert as possible in taking a couple quick pics of the Carpet and how it looks without all the smoke and mirrors.
(note from Enty: Adrianna almost got kicked out for taking photos. That's how much she wanted to do this for everyone)

Fortunately for my co-host, Mark Istook and me, our position is perched high above the mayhem on a platform. It's designed for interviews and demos throughout the show. You guys, there is going to be some SERIOUSLY HOT eye candy during our 3 hour broadcast-- guys and girls, alike!!! Stay tuned!!! The show is on TV Guide Channel and runs from 3p-6p Eastern time. Keisha Whittaker will be discussing the good and bad fashion wise for not only my portion of the broadcast, but also when Joey and Lisa do their thing later.
PREDICTIONS FOR TOMORROW SHOW:

1- By now you've probably heard that Presenters were asked NOT to walk the Red-Carpet in an attempt to draw more attention to the actual show. I've heard from different sources that many Presenters will in fact show up and walk the Carpet because they want to be seen looking all dolled up, and have been asked to by the designers.

2- We've heard that some of the people presenting this year (though it hasn't officially been announced) are Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Aniston (in tow with BF John Mayer) Also, word on the street is that Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens will show up and be part of one big musical performance in the show.

3- Despite Robert Downey Jr.'s nomination for Best Supporting Actor, he will not be attending the show--reason unknown.

4- Now on to Winners...Let's see how many of these I nail:

BEST ACTOR: Sean Penn in "Milk"
Should be and potentially could be Mickey Rourke in "The Wrestler"

BEST ACTRESS: Kate Winslet in "The Reader" (Deservedly so)

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight"

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Penelope Cruz in "Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona" (Such a sexy flick)

BEST DIRECTOR: Danny Boyle for "Slumdog Millionaire"

BEST MOVIE: "Slumdog Millionaire"

Check back in Monday Morning!! I'll write a Post- Oscar blog with all the juice from the weekend!!!! Thank you Enty!!!! Lot's of love- Adrianna :)

Four For Friday - Fashion Week

As always, all of these items happened this week at Fashion Week.

#1 - Kindness - This celebrity wife of a famous radio personality gave up her front row seat this week to an elderly couple who were the grandparents of one of the models in the show. The elderly couple were having a very difficult time navigating between the folding chairs and throngs of people and our celebrity gave up her chair and made the person sitting next to her give up theirs as well. Our celebrity then went and sat with the "everyday people."

#2 - This current reality star and former B list television actress has a new diet. Coke and more coke as she gladly shared when she was discovered at one show indulging in her "lunch."

#3 - It's too bad #2 from above doesn't share the same dealer as this current C list television actress on a hit television drama who has B+ name recognition because they could maybe get a discount. People couldn't stop commenting on the track marks on her arms when one of her long sleeve tops rolled up her arm. When she discovered it was up she quickly put the sleeve back down and whispered something about medication. Uh huh.

#4 - While many celebrities and guests were appalled at Paris & Nicky constantly texting throughout the shows they attended, guests were just as appalled at this B list television star from a hit network ensemble drama who made loud comments about every model and what they were wearing. Loud enough that people across the room could hear her. All of the people sitting with her kept looking away and trying to distance themselves from her remarks which were for the most part really nasty. Oh, and she was smacking on Nicorette while commenting.

Random Photos Part One

Have to put this pair on the top. Charlize Theron just seems to get it all together in time for the Academy Awards. She looks incredible and Josh Brolin looks pretty damn good as well.
I have been laughing for the past 30 minutes looking at this photo of Marisa Tomei. Diane Lane looks great but I dare you to not even snicker when you look at Marisa.
Angelina Jolie does not look well here at all. The coat looks like it weighs more than she does.
She might be whacked out on something. I know she is behind sunglasses in the dead of night which should be one giveaway, but it feels as if she has a vacant stare and has no idea what is going on.
It was just going to be this one photo of Blake Lively at Fashion Week, but then
look at the man sitting there next to her. I think that is Morley Safer. Who knew he went to Fashion Week? I bet Blake has no idea who he is.
A Claire Danes smile gets her in the photos.
Long time no see to Dominic Monaghan.
Eva Mendes and the soon to be divorced and now turning into a mess, Kate Beckinsale.
So, if Freida Pinto has a secret husband does that mean I should not extend an invitation to my basement to her or are we just going to assume she isn't really married?
Gavin Rossdale & Sheryl Crow - Los Angeles
And Gavin before he performed with Sheryl.
From the new episode of Gavin & Stacey. This almost made it to the top.
I'm seriously just thinking of putting Halle Berry photos in here everyday.
Not so much for Heather Graham though.
So, after my earlier Project Runway Canada plug, Mexi was kind enough to find a link so all of you can watch it. Seriously, it is worth your time and they are only on the third episode I think so not much catching up to do. Here is the link.
This is from the US version's runway show.
As is this.
Who can forget Kara Janx and Jay McCarroll
Mr. Miley Cyrus.
Mr. Reese Witherspoon.
Kevin Bacon doing some press for his new movie.
I have seen Kate Bosworth looking better.
Katie Holmes on the way to the set of her new movie.
Random photo of the day. Kate Walsh and Balthazar Getty.
What could be better than a Kate Winslet photo?
How about Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard.
Lisa Ling looks really happy here.
Maria Bello looks gorgeous.
I don't know if it's the light but Mariah doesn't look plastered in makeup for the first time in forever.
This is the first time I have seen a photo of Marla Maples with her daughter Tiffany Trump.
Seriously. What has happened to Alicia Keys? She looks like she lost about 30 pounds.
Probably one of the best baby photos in a long time.
Nadya Suleman's dad on Oprah. The episode is scheduled to air next week.
Rachel Bilson at Fashion Week. Although you can't see her ring finger I assure you there was not one on her finger. Don't you think that if you got engaged you would be wearing your engagement ring? The story is so fake. You would think they would at least go buy a fake one or something.
Scouting For Girls - London
I actually want Steve O to win DWTS, and I vow to watch the show as long as he remains on. Suffering through Denise to show my support for Steve O is something I know I will regret.
The Zooey
And The Zachary. Doesn't really have the same ring to it does it?

Your Turn

Thinking about the economy today got me to thinking about jobs I have had in the past. There have been some really great ones and some that I wouldn't wish on anyone. So, with that being said, it is time to reveal the best job you have ever had or the worst job you have ever had.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which TV personality is “too white” for a Spanish-based program? He test-ed well, but execs were worried because he doesn’t really speak the language.

Don't You Know Who I Am? - Tori Spelling Rips Into A Security Guard

Why is it that a celebrity just assumes that everyone in the world knows who they are? Just because you think very highly of yourself does not mean that the rest of the world shares your opinion. I can recognize a lot of people just from looking at lots of photos each day and writing about the people, but honestly, I still probably couldn't recognize half of the actors on prime time television right now and that doesn't even include all the reality shows.

The latest person who actually did yell, "Don't you know who I am?" goes to Tori Spelling. Yes, as Tori was trying to make her way into a show at Fashion Week yesterday she was stopped by a security guard who asked for her invitation.

Ummm. Tor didn't have an invitation. So, the guy did the right thing and refused her entry. Tell me why a security guard should know who Tori Spelling is and recognize her on sight. Did he watch 90210 when he was younger? Does he make it a habit to watch Oxygen when he isn't working two jobs and probably trying to take care of a family? How in the f**k should he be required to know who Tori is?

Well, when he refused her entry, Tori literally screamed at the guy and said the words. Yep. She said them and I hope the guard said, "nope." It must be devastating for someone who thinks of herself as a huge star to totally be barred because they were not recognized. For the rest of us it provides a nice, warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

Right before she started screaming at everyone, an organizer of the show did recognize her and let her in the show. My guess is that the security guard probably got yelled at by someone for just doing his job and if it were up to Tori she would have had him lashed and then forced to watch 20 hours of her shopping show. I don't understand the point of the screaming. All it does is make you seem like an even more pretentious snob than you already are. If Dean had been there I'm sure the security guard would have been punched while Dean defended his mama and money supply.

Notice the smirk in the bottom photo when she was finally allowed into the show. Can't stand her.

This Just Keeps Getting Better

So, you remember yesterday when I wrote about the couple with the four kids who got arrested trying to smuggle 52 pounds of coke out of Venezuela? Yeah, well wouldn't you know it, they have a history. Oh, it's not a good history either. The couple was on The Jeremy Kyle show which some people tell me is a cross between Maury and Jerry Springer.

The picture above is from the show they were on called "Husband, how can our family survive your extreme anger?"

Well considering they were on the show in November 2006, and they have twin two year old children that means she either got pregnant right after this show taped or she was pregnant and stayed with him despite his extreme anger.

The twins are the biological children of the couple while the two older children are his biological children.

Apparently family members have arrived in Venezuela and have seen the children but have not been allowed to take them or be with them all of the time. If anyone has a copy of this program or a link somewhere, I would love to see it.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

This Mirror blind item is from this past Saturday. I wouldn't have normally posted it but got a request from a reader who can't get it out of her head. (no pun intended) So, please help her out by giving it your best guess.

Which celeb is so terrified of losing his luscious locks he is secretly having treatment to restore his barnet to its former glory?

Project Runway Over And We Didn't Even See It

This season of Project Runway ended today as it does every year beneath the tents during Fashion Week in New York. It is kind of humorous to imagine this entire season going on and no one even notices or cares that it has been filming. For those of you truly miss the show you can watch Project Runway Canada which I have been watching every week, umm, possibly in an illegal way. I mean it is Iman for goodness sakes. The woman is amazingly gorgeous still and the drama is just as good in Canada.

It also seems as if the designers there are given less time to work on their clothes than they are on the US version. It is only week three there I think so if you have missed the episodes it's not too late to try and catch up. I will say that one of the best designers in either version of the show is on the Canada one right now.

The great thing about the Canadian version is the judges are much more brutal in their assessments. There is no sugar coating it at all. The Tim Gunn of Canada is a completely different kind of guy than Tim and seems to offer more suggestions on changes the designers can make.

There is no timetable as to when this latest season of the US version will be shown, but guest judges this year were Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria and Rebecca Romijn. Yes, much more Hollywood type judges, because, well, they filmed it all in LA. So, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia were not judges in every episode so it probably makes for a nice change.

$1.2M Dollar Home For Octo Mom

Apparently octo mom is in the market for a new home. According to TMZ, Nadya Suleman is interested in purchasing the above property which is currently listed at $1.24M, but it's a steal because it was recently reduced from $1.5M. While the rest of the world is barely managing to keep their jobs and dreading the day that pink slip comes, here comes a woman with no job and who has been living off the tax payers for years and she suddenly has the coin to buy a $1.25M home.

Now, this may be judgmental of me, but I'm guessing that in order to qualify for a loan this large without a job, she is going to have to put down a significant down payment in order to buy this house. Now, the thing is it only has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Umm, she has 14 kids right? She will presumably keep one of the bedrooms solely for herself which means the 14 kids will be dividing the other 3 bedrooms. That is almost 5 kids per bedroom.

I don't mean to be rude but I'm guessing she could find something a little less expensive in a less pricey neighborhood and manage to make sure there are only 3 kids to a bedroom. Does she really need the pool overlooking the hills?

Where is she getting all of this money? All this is going to do is lead to a wave of people who are going to try and break her record of 8 and they will be expecting the same type of rewards to come their way.

Jade Goody Dying In Front Of Us

A few times over the course of this blog I have written about Jade Goody. She was on the UK version of Big Brother a few years ago and became a huge star. Last year when she was invited back on the program she said some very racist remarks about and Indian contestant on the show which caused India and the UK to turn against her. In an attempt to mend fences she went on the India version of Big Brother where she learned on television that she had cancer. Now, she has only a few months to live and it is all being watched by every person in the UK.

Even the Prime Minister of the UK has been glued to events surrounding her life and said in a press conference Wednesday, “The whole country will be worried and anxious about her health.” Jade Goody is getting married this weekend. She is being paid $1M by OK! Magazine for the rights to the photos and has a huge reality show deal as well.

While some are saying that she should die with dignity at home, others say she should make as much as she can now for the sake of her children who will soon be without their mom.

I think that she should do what she wants and that if she can secure the future of her children by doing this, than I wish her the very best.

The New York Times has a great piece they ran today on the dram and I really encourage you to read it.

Oh Rihanna

By now I'm sure all of you have seen the bruised and battered face of Rihanna. In case you haven't, it is below. Normally I put photos on top of what I write, but in this case, thought I would give you the option of scrolling past it. I posted the photo because it is newsworthy, but it really saddens me that it was released. The LAPD is investigating how the photo got sent to TMZ which is the first agency that managed to get a hold of the photo.

To me, I don't care how famous someone is or how newsworthy, it is still essentially a private matter. I know that I wouldn't want my photo released to the world to see what had happened to me. For the rest of time this photo will be on the internet and will be available for the world to see. When Rihanna is 50 and has kids and grand kids they will all be able to see what happened.

As I post the photo I'm wondering if I'm a hypocrite for posting it. If someone had sent it to me and I could have been the first to post it I guess I would have. It doesn't make it right though. Although celebrities give up many of their rights of privacy by placing themselves in the public eye, I think sometimes there has to be a line drawn. I'm not sure where that line is, but this seems really close to it.

Ted C Blind Item

Judas Jack-Off is a stunningly beautiful star. Gorgeous hair, supple muscles, good pro résumé, too. He's also as hot as he is coy and conniving. But by comparison, let's just say J.J. makes our ever-shy, closeted movie idol Toothy Tile look like an out-and-out saint of gay liberation and openness.

See, Judas, a gangly type with flat abs and the concrete ass to go with it, was planning on marrying his boyfriend. Out of the country, mind you, but marriage just the same. To a man! You know, one of those big gay ceremonies that probably makes Ken Starr think about popping pills again.

Huge prob: Judas' myriad fans would have gone ape-crap over this happy Romeo-and-Romeo fact had they ever found out, which is exactly why Judas—at his representatives' behest—went ahead and...

...not only dumped his partner and fiancé, but he took up with his latest leading lady instead. Jeez, how 2008, already.

And all because a pile of veteran Hollywood starmakers told J.J. that his way-decent career would become about as relevant as Lindsay Lohan's alcohol ankle monitor should he get hitched to the BF. And I can't decide which is the best part of all, that every tabloid around is buying J.J.'s just-pumped-up fake romance, or that Judas had the (typical) ass-wipe nerve to go back to the poor, dumped boyfriend and want sex.

What is it about dudes and dogs? So seldom can you tell the diff.

It Ain't: Joe Jonas, Robert Pattinson, Jake Gyllenhaal

Today's Blind Items - Kindness

What surprisingly prolific heavy metal artist/television host and reality star (we Americans only know one song, really and one very famous cover photo) rearranged his schedule to attend the wake of a 24 year-old fan, because he heard that the deceased's wish was to have him play at his funeral? He played the piano in the corner for over four hours, shook everyone's hand, and mourned with everyone as though they'd known each other for years.

Random Photos Part One

This has to go on the top just for the pure randomness of Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani being together for a photo.
I do worry though because Leah Remini was there and so hopefully she kept away from Gwen.
I actually thought this was a photo from a new wax museum exhibit for Anderson Cooper. Turns out it is real though.
The very lovely Anna Friel posing with the equally wonderful KT Tunstall.
Alyssa Milano looking very lovely.
Ben Affleck must have given one hell of a Valentine's Day present to Jennifer Garner because she showed up to this event for about fifteen minutes and spent the entire time kissing Ben.
A first time appearance for Chris Botti.
Courtney Love actually looks normal. I should have put this on top.
Dennis Hopper looks really good here.
And long time no see David Hyde Pierce.
I'm guessing this isn't the first time Denise Richards has been in this position. I know, I'm going out on a limb in saying that but I feel like it is a really big limb.
Duffy cleaned up at last night's Brit Awards.
Elizabeth Berkeley continues to do some really good charity work. She needs to after making us suffer through her acting career.
Eric Clapton - Tokyo
Ellen Pompeo just looks very plain.
Emmy The Great - Manchester
I love this photo of Gemma Arterton. She just looks so damn happy.
Unlike Gwyneth who looks like someone made her eat chocolate.
I have decided that Halle Berry is probably the best looking person on earth.
A first time appearance for Jonathan Bennet.
While Joan Collins seems to be a regular in the photos. She looks amazing. This is great plastic surgery people.
I'm just glad Lady GaGa got rid of that whole Minnie Mouse look.
Marilu Henner brings a suitcase to load up with swag.
As I look at Mary Kate Olsen and Nicole Richie, I keep thinking to myself that I would love to read a tell all book by both of them.
I bet Michelle Phillips has some really interesting stories also.
What every person wears to the beaches of Malibu.
The one and only Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys fame.
This is the definition of the word mess.
I have no idea what Pixie Geldof was thinking when she chose to wear this.
I do love Perrey Reeves.
Pete Wentz announcing the MTV Australia nominations.
It's been awhile so I figured Robert Pattinson could come back to the photos.
Sheryl Crow looks great.
This photo of Shiva Rose reminds me of those IQ ads on the internet where you have to guess how many arms someone has.
Tameka Foster leaving Brazil.

Quick Hits

Pink Is A Saint - Pink has given $250,000 to the Australian Red Cross and their bushfire fund they set up in response to the fires that ravaged Australia earlier this month. "My heart goes out to all those who have suffered so much in these circumstances. There's little anyone can do at such a long distance away but I wanted to make a tangible expression of support." Pink gets a free pass on the site for quite some time because of this gift. There really have not been many US celebrities who have given at all to the fund despite the fact that they probably expect Australians to watch their movies, television shows and buy their tickets and albums. So, way to go Pink. And yes, Nicole Kidman did give money. She and Keith donated $500,000 but she should have really donated more because of the amount of suffering she inflicts on every human who has to watch her in any movies.

Seth Rogen Is Lucky #9 - Seth Rogen is set to be only the 9th guy to ever appear on the cover of Playboy. He joins the esteemed ranks of Jerry Seinfeld and Peter Sellers. Personally I would much rather see Seth Rogen on the cover than Aubrey O'Day who is on the cover right now.

Harry Hamlin Loves Seeing His Wife Naked - Apparently Playboy must have reduced the size of Lisa Rinna's lips or something because Harry Hamlin said that he loved seeing his wife's Playboy photos. Lisa Rinna is scheduled to be in Playboy in May. Lisa, at 45 is one of the older people to ever pose naked for the pages of Playboy but if you average in all her plastic surgery she is probably 16 or 17.

It's Too Late Taylor Swift

This post really has less to do with Taylor Swift than just a natural reaction. So, if you despise Taylor Swift or just wish someone would shine a bright light into her eyes so she would open them up completely, than you can still read this post. Seriously, I have seen Taylor Swift with her eyes completely wide open so this whole Jennifer Lopez smoky eyes thing she has been doing lately where she looks as if she is struggling to open them even slightly is really starting to annoy me.

Anyway, Rolling Stone, showing they have really no relevance as a magazine anymore decided to put Taylor on the cover of their latest issue. Because she was on the cover they decided they might as well go ahead and interview her as well. Since Ben Fong Torres wasn't available to suggest Stillwater we ended up with Taylor talking about boys and relationships she hasn't had and forgetting she isn't 16, but in fact 19.

But, the quote that is really the point of this post is that in response to a question about whether she has sex or not her answer was, "I feel like whatever you say about whether you do or don't, it makes people picture you naked," she says. "And as much as possible, I'm going to avoid that. It's self-preservation, really."

Umm. Honestly, now that you said that everyone is going to picture you naked. I had never really wanted to or even had a thought in my head to picture you naked, but now I will probably end up doing it everytime I see your picture because you said what you said. If you just had said, "yeah, I f**ked a Jonas Brother," we would have all just gone on with our lives. I don't think any of us would have had the stomach to actually picture the two of you having sex or naked and so everything would be fine. But human reaction is that if you say it we will imagine it. Don't believe me. Daniel Craig naked. See? Now you are thinking about that shot of him in the bathtub I posted a long time ago or the photo of him coming out of the ocean. See? You did it to yourself Taylor. And no, not like that. Get your minds out of the gutter people. See? Now you are picturing that.

Groupidity Episode 6 - Part 2

Episodes 1-5 have been the secret life of Julie. In part 2 of Episode 6 we continue with the real, and unfortunate life of Julie. Although she finally does get some vindication, or is it? Matt Offerman and Elizabeth Harris play some of Julie's odd co-workers.

Daily Mirror Blind Item - From The Brit Awards

Which celeb tucked into a bit more than magic mushrooms backstage? A lackey handed the star bags of magic powder...

Life Imitating Art

Did you see the movie The Wrestler? Do you remember the guy named Greg from the movie? He played a drug dealer. Well guess what? The Wrestler was his first movie and it may very well be his last. Apparently Scott Siegel who portrayed Greg the drug dealer kind of liked the idea of doing that full-time. Federal drug agents have been watching him for awhile and yesterday they arrested him for steroid distribution and assault. I think he is going to be facing a lot more charges than that because Scott did not go quietly when the feds arrested him.

They tried to grab him after they saw him picking up a package, but he fled on foot. Oh, but not before he had destroyed his own car by ramming as many police cars as he could first. Nice huh? Sounds to me like he has maybe been injecting some of those alleged roids into his own body. I mean getting picked up for steroid distribution is not exactly getting charged as a Colombian drug lord. You are probably not going to go to jail for long if at all. So, obviously there is a lot of rage in this guy to do what he did to the cops. He is lucky he didn't hurt any of them.

FBI Investigated Whether Jack Valenti Was Gay

Not many of you might remember the name Jack Valenti, but you probably recognize his picture. Jack was the head of the Motion Picture Association Of America from 1966-2004. They are the group of people who decide what ratings a film gets and so as a consequence they have a lot of power over a lot of people. Their ratings can determine whether a movie makes money or is a bomb. Anyway, back in the day, the Washington Post is reporting today that President Johnson had the FBI investigate Jack to determine whether he was gay or not. Did he want to know this so he could have an affair with him? Basically several FBI agents at the height of the cold war spent hundreds and hundreds of hours and conducted numerous interviews with people all to determine whether he was gay. I don't know how many times this was repeated with how many other people but it wasn't like they were going to release the information anyway. The only reason they wanted the information was so they could blackmail the people being investigated and make them do things they didn't necessarily want to do. Sounds like some other organization that is popular in Hollywood circles.

I mean there really is no other point except blackmail and knowing that if they released the news you would be shunned. The results of the investigation were that he was not gay and so they probably spent hundreds of more hours trying to find something else they could hold over his head.

Best Encore Ever - Coldplay, U2, & The Killers

In what is being billed as the greatest encore of all time by Chris Martin, here is what happened last night in London. After the Brit Awards which are their version of the Grammy's, Coldplay went and played a charity concert. At the end of their show they were joined on stage for an encore by U2 and The Killers. Yeah, I know. Lucky for the world there is such a thing as video cameras and YouTube.

Claire Danes Mocks?

Apparently this little engagement to Hugh Dancy is all Claire Danes needed to move into the land of the living. I don't know if there will be any smile forthcoming from her but at least we now know she likes to make jokes at the expense of others. Not practical jokes, just making fun of people who are not as perfect as Claire.

According to the NY Daily News, Claire was at the Red Dress fashion show as were Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. Claire kept making fun of the way Tori and Jennie walked the runway and said that it was a little goofy. I know, I know. This is what is passing for gossip today. I am trying to make a few hundred words out of Claire Danes making fun of Tori and Jennie. We need some scandal. We need some juice. It is good to know that although Claire seemed a little bitchy by making that comment that at least she does have one friend because the Daily News did say she was talking to a friend. I wasn't sure actually if Claire had any friends. The only pictures anyone ever sees of her on the street or on red carpets she is always with Hugh. Now, from the comments most of you make when Hugh is in the photos, I guess I can understand why she keeps such a close eye on him.

A Family That Smuggles Drugs Together Stays Together

In the wonderful tradition of Ryan and Redmond O'Neal comes the Makin family. Sure, you have never heard of them, but hey, there is no gossip news and I thought we would give Octo Mom a break today. So, the Makin family is your typical British family. It is a married couple with twin two year old boys and a 7 year old and 8 year old as well. So, this family of six goes on holiday to the island of Margarita which basically sounds like someplace I would love to live and has their vacation. Nothing out of the ordinary until mom and dad get arrested when trying to board the plane back to Liverpool because they are trying to smuggle 24 kilos (52 pounds) of cocaine.

OK, first of all the fact they did this while traveling with their kids is enough for me to convict them forever. The kids are now being taken care of by Venezuelan social services people until some family members from the UK can fly out. Those kids are all going to need therapy after this. Second of all, 52 pounds of coke? Are you starting your own business? That is like an entire extra suitcase filled with coke. 52 pounds is very hard to get into any suitcase. Kids, suitcases, coke.

What the hell made them do it? Apparently the husband is not the nicest of guys. He was due in court back in the UK earlier this month for some incident where he was walking the streets of Liverpool with a machete threatening people. Good times.

52 pounds of coke has an approximate street value in the US of about $1.1M, but I have no idea if it is worth more or less than that in the UK. I wonder if this was the first time they did this and if they were going to do it again if they were successful. Were they just transporting it or were they going to sell it? I sure hope they got more than a free holiday out of the whole thing.

How About Saving A Buck?

Entertainment Tonight Canada had an interview with JD Fortune. Do you remember him? He was the Canadian guy who won that INXS reality show competition and got to be their new lead singer. He was such a great story because before the contest he had been living out of his car and dead broke. Well, after he won the contest he toured with the band for about two years before they fired him and now he is broke and homeless and living in his car. He didn't indicate if it was the same car as before or if he has a different car he is calling home now.

Here's the thing about this. I think that homeless people have it rough and it is so hard to build any momentum to ever get out of your car or off the streets. The odds are stacked way against you. Homeless people who make it off the streets rarely let themselves go back. I don't know if we are supposed to feel sorry for this guy now or what. But, I will say that if I got paid the kind of salary he got paid for two years and had virtually no expenses I would not be living back in a car after it was over. What the hell did he spend all his money on? Did he think the gig would last a lifetime? Nothing lasts forever. It was such a cool story when he won the contest and I think everyone really wanted him to win. Now I think he is just some kind of idiot for letting himself get back into the same place again with no chance of winning the lottery a second time.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which burly TV actor lost his cool and almost strangled a crew member during filming? It took four people to break the scared staffer free.

Today's Blind Items - Fashion Week

Every year some of my favorite items come from Fashion Week. This year is no different.

This C list film actress from a former hit television show who has B+ name recognition has been going around from tent to tent begging designers to give her free clothes and has also asked every celebrity she runs into if they have a place she can stay for the night. Maybe if she wouldn't spend so much on the drugs she is sniffing constantly she would have enough money for a hotel room.

A reader who wishes to remain anonymous no pun intended sent this photo in of a protest in Vancouver over the weekend by Anonymous in response to Scientologists setting up a huge display next to the Olympic countdown clock. If you are brave enough to take a photo in this kind of situation then you definitely get the top spot. The reader reported that the Scientologists had people wandering around that identified themselves as ministers. That and the crosses are obviously to get people to think of it as your friendly Christian church. They also had massage tables set up inside the tent and ministers to massage them. Also, in a separate incident wholly unrelated to Scientology this weekend our reader had an injury which required stitches so I do hope they get well soon.
I didn't even recognize Alicia Keys.
It has been a month or two since Amanda Peet was in the photos.
And just about as long for Benicio Del Toro.
U2 - London
Shiloh, Zahara and their mom.
Coldplay - London
Really random photo. From L to R are Coco Rocha, Mischa Barton, Minka Kelly and Kristen Bell.
Duffy - London
I know Michael Cohen has never been in the photos but I think his wife Emmanuelle Beart has.
More randomness. Emile Hirsch, Josh Hartnett and Brianna Dombart.
The always funny Elijah Wood.
I think Gerard Butler knows this is his chance to make a move on Hayden P. He is old and she is single and likes old guys. Match.
I would have to say that father and son look very much alike.
I didn't think it was possible, but I think Coco's breasts got larger.
The always lovely January Jones.
And Kirsten Dunst in a dress it looks like she made herself while in rehab.
Well look here. It's Katharine McPhee. She always shows up around Fashion Week time.
I just don't like Kimora. Sorry if you are a fan of hers.
Kanye West and Jared Leto. Interesting.
Giorgio Armani had everyone lining up to take their photo with him. Here is Leo.
And Milla Jovovich
and even Ricky Martin.
Marcus Schenkenberg has lost lots of weight and to me doesn't look that healthy.
Rob Thomas and Marisol.
It's the Ronson's.


Victoria Beckham does Peter Pan.
And David Beckham goes back to school.

Octo Mom Spends Our Tax Dollars At Target

INF Daily has a bunch of photos from Nadya Suleman's trip to Target and McDonald's with some of her 14 children in tow. I encourage you to click over to their site so you can check out Nadya's new SUV and also the handicapped tag she has hanging from the mirror. Nice. In the photo above she shows us some of the booty from our tax dollars and your donations to her website. Yesterday TLC said they were in talks with Nadya about a reality show and today they denied it. I'm guessing one is in the works but don't want to have a bidding war on their hands. Also in Octo news her publicists quit because they were getting death threats and just didn't think working for free was worth the risk of getting killed.

How Was Your Weekend?

So many of you took the time to send me notes or leave comments regarding my absence on Monday that I felt I should tell you about what led up to the events of Monday. Hey, it's only fair. Well, seeing as I had no plans for Valentine's Day. Yes, I know. I can hear all of your violins playing now. I decided that I would take the opportunity to go see a hockey game or two. Over the past year I have become a serious hockey fan. But basically my devotion is to the Washington Capitals. Well when I looked at their schedule I saw they were going to be in Florida for the weekend and really, what is better than some warm sunshine, spring training and some hockey?

My parents were so overjoyed that I was going to be gone all weekend they even offered to buy my ticket. Who could turn that offer down? So, off I went to Tampa and then down to Miami. Oh, the weekend started off well enough. I took an overnight flight Friday to Tampa. After several drinks in the bar at the airport and many, many more on the plane I managed to numb myself and get some semblance of sleep on the plane.

A breakfast of McDonald's and Bloody Mary's managed to get me through the morning hours, but made me less motivated to actually get out and watch any baseball. I mean a hotel room and cable and drinks was enough for me. Saturday night I went to see my beloved Capitals kick the crap out of Tampa Bay and made some friends with another group of people that were also planning on driving down to Miami to see the Capitals play again on Sunday. After a few bottles of booze after the game everyone thought it would be a great idea for all of us to go together. What that meant for me of course is that I figured out a way to let someone do the driving while I concentrated on eating and drinking and not sweating too much in the back of a van loaded with people heading to Miami.

Driving through the night was actually a lot of fun and there was time in Miami for me to see the ocean and to awe the people of South Florida with my back hair. Aaah. Good times. Well, the game started at 5pm. I knew I was going to have to leave the game at the end of the second period because my flight left at 835p and I needed to be on that flight. Well, I left the game in what I thought was plenty of time but my judgment may have been a bit impaired. Also, the fact that my taxi driver seemed to enjoy going well under the speed limit got me to the airport only 30 minutes before my flight. I then got a little lost in the airport but managed to show up at the ticket counter about 20 minutes before my flight. I made it right? Wrong. "I'm sorry sir, but the flight is closed." Ummm. I begged. I pleaded. I offered to share my flask. Nothing worked. The only thing I could do was to wait until the next morning for a flight. There were no other flights going to LA. I was stuck.

Now, instead of complaining about it, I decided to instead spend time visiting many of the fine drinking establishments in Miami International Airport and even managed to bribe a worker at one of the Duty Free stores there to sell me a bottle of booze to get me through a night of sleeping on the floor. I had decided early on that I was not going to risk missing my flight by staying in a hotel and sleeping through a wake up call. I decided to instead sleep right there on the floor of the airport because I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep. After about 11pm there was absolutely nothing to do so I literally sat on the floor and kept pouring drinks from the bottle of booze into my little paper coffee cup. Before you knew it, the bottle was empty and I was incredibly drunk.

I did doze a little through the night but it seemed the cleaners who work at night really enjoyed making as much noise as possible when they got close to me and so I finally gave up all pretenses of sleeping at around 4am and waited for the ticket counter to open up. They opened up, I got my seat and I realized at that point that I desperately needed sleep and a shower and some clothes. I managed to log on to a computer at the airport and sent the message about posting in the afternoon thinking I might be able to recover by the afternoon.

Well after a 5.5 hour flight and no sleep for two days and no showering I decided the only thing I was going to do was sleep. And sleep I did. The futon in the basement never felt so comfortable. So, in the future I promise to take my laptop whenever I travel so that way you don't have to worry. I wanted to post, but I just couldn't manage it.

Hey! US Weekly. That's Not Angela Kinsey's Husband

Don't you just love when a a magazine does something wrong like spell Ashlee Simpson's name wrong? It makes them look like idiots. Well what makes you look even more like an idiot is when you announce a divorce and then publish a photograph of the happy couple which isn't really of the happy couple.

In this photo taken from next week's US Weekly you will notice they have Angela Kinsey and another man they are calling her husband. Ummm. Not so much. The man US Weekly is identifying as Angela's husband is actually Ed Helms, who, as you know plays Andy in The Office. Apparently US Weekly is not too concerned with fact checking as it relates to photos. Yes, I make mistakes as well, but the thing is I don't charge you to read my stuff or pretend to be some kind of news gathering agency.

A Fish Tank That Burns

Do you know how you know when you have way too much money? Yes, the first sign is when you hire hookers who look like Paris Hilton instead of just getting the real thing. But the real sign is when you have enough money to buy a fish tank that can actually catch on fire and burn down several apartments. That is what happened this morning to Tracy Morgan. Apparently the water in his fish tank didn't actually put out the fire that his fish tank caused and as a result Tracy Morgan's apartment was almost completely destroyed. He lives in Trump Place and several of his neighbors also had their apartments either destroyed or damaged by the fire.

Now, I know that many fish tanks have lights that attach and they are not necessarily expensive. But honestly, do you think that is the kind of fish tank Tracy had? I imagine he had something that probably needed its own generator system. I don't see him having some square little tank that had a light.

I also think that it is a crazy enough story to be almost believable. It happened at 830am so I doubt it was some all night party that went crazy. According to Access Hollywood, Sherri Shepherd told a really funny story about the fire on The View this morning because she lives downstairs from Tracy and had to have her son and nanny evacuate. Let's just say it involved instructions to the nanny to save her son and her wigs.

Oh, and for those of you who are concerned. Almost the entire apartment was destroyed except for the fish tank which was fine.

Alfie Is Being Used

It is beginning to look more and more like everyone's favorite 13 year old dad Alfie is being set up. The reason, according to the Daily Mail is that the father of the baby's mother knew this story would be worth a lot of money if Alfie was the father. I mean look at the boy. If you say that a kid who looks 8 is the father of a baby you have a great story.

There are also now an additional four boys who have come forward in addition to the two who came forward yesterday that also have said they had sex with the girl at about the same time as everyone else. OK, I don't know if they are lying or what, but if you include Alfie than that is 7 potential fathers. When did this girl go to school. What she needs to do is turn 18 and then get together with Russell Brand and have some kind of contest. I feel bad for her because there are obviously some issues going on here because I find it hard to believe a 15 year old girl would want to sleep with 7 different guys in the course of a few weeks.

If none of them are the father, I want the relatives tested also. All of the boys besides Alfie have said they hope they are not the dad. Alfie actually wants to be the dad. The Mail is reporting that both sets of parents have made many thousands of dollars off this story and will continue to do so until the paternity of the child is settled. Honestly, if there are 7 potential fathers they could do a two parter on this. Maury could stretch this out over two episodes especially if you do background interviews with each of the potential fathers and follow Alfie around for a few days. This is good television. Horrible reality. Great television. Oh, and Alfie. If you really want a child so bad, I know a woman here named Nadya who has 14 and probably wouldn't notice if you took one.

Daily Mirror Blind Item - From George Michael

Which diva really got on my nerves after she turned up more than an hour late for rehearsals?

Rihanna Getting Back Together With Chris Brown

If you believe the writers over at Star and their sources, then you will be shocked to hear that Rihanna has not even dumped Chris yet and instead has continued to text him and call him and keep in touch with him and is scaring everyone around her because she thinks this will all blow over and they can get back together again.

Wow. According to Star, Rihanna is constantly in touch with Chris and wants to make sure he is ok and that he is not cheating on her. The crazy thing is that Life & Style Magazine is basically reporting the same thing. I'm guessing that whoever this source is was good enough for both magazines to jump on their story. It has to be someone fairly close to one of them. Although the story seems to be pained from Rihanna's perspective, someone in Chris' camp who is reading the texts or listening to the calls could also be the source. It could be Chris' publicist for all we know.

I do know that if Rihanna does take Chris back there is going to be a wave of backlash to her career that will come down on her hard. Also, you just know that it will happen again and again and again. Rihanna is not the shy and retiring type and Chris is a cheater. Star got shown a text from someone Chris was scheduled to have sex with the night before he and Rihanna sang a duet together in concert, and then of course there is the texting that led up to all this. I have to imagine that if you have no problems hitting and punching a woman hard enough to send her to the hospital, you probably won't have a problem doing it again and again.

What do you think? Are they getting back together? Would you? Is her career ruined if she does? Honestly, if she takes him back I think her career will suffer more than his. Right now he has no chance at a career for the next 10 years. But, if she takes him back, then people will think it is ok to like him and so then he might end up ok and it would be Rihanna who would have the backlash.

Hayden Christensen & Rachel Bilson Fake Engagement

It's amazing the power a publicist has. One of them calls a tabloid, in this case, the NY Post and Kneepads Magazine and the next thing you know the entire internet is buzzing that Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson are engaged. Wow. The sources say they got engaged over the holidays and it was so romantic. Sure, there aren't any details of the engagement. Sure, they haven't set a date, and no the source has no idea if Rachel and Hayden are happy but they seem happy. Seems covers a lot of ground. I might be smiling and seem happy but inside feel something different. Very tough to get sued when you say the word seem.

So, anyway, considering we have not heard from this fake couple in awhile I decided to see if either of them had a movie coming out. Wouldn't you know it? Both of them are in the new movie New York, I Love You which is going to be released in the middle of April. Wow. Just two short months away. I think it is kind of interesting that even though they allegedly got engaged over the holidays which were two months ago, that we are only hearing about it now two months before their new movie opens up.

This is such an obvious setup but people will just buy right into it and there will be cover stories and wedding planning issues and each one of those stories and interviews will mention the movie which opens in April and how for the price of a ticket you can see this real life couple playing on the screen together. Whatever. If they are engaged, fine, I'm happy for them and I want them to get married tomorrow. Why the f**k not? They have allegedly been dating forever and know everything about each other so why prolong it. Just go get married. It would be a better publicity stunt anyway. Do it. Invite me along and get married. Prove to me it isn't some stunt your publicist came up with. Oh, and Rachel's publicist had this to say about the engagement, "I don't comment on my clients personal lives." What? Of course you do and if Rachel told you to say it you would say it. You comment on their personal lives when it suits you. That is such an asinine quote.

Oh. Good luck to the happy couple.

Sherlock Holmes First Cut Sucks

Apparently the executives over at Warner Brothers were not very happy when they saw the first cut of Sherlock Holmes. Actually not very happy is kind of an understatement. They said it wasn't good enough and that some parts of it were ridiculous. I generally like Guy Ritchie's movies with the exception being any that have featured Madonna in any way. Apparently Guy used his divorce from Madonna during the filming as a reason why the film sucks so bad. Even when she is not in front of a camera, Madonna has a way of jinxing a movie.

The news is that Guy is going to have to reshoot a lot of scenes which means getting Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams back to do the scenes which probably won't be done as well as the original scenes because there will be less money, they won't be able to get the same locations, and the actor's will have forgot things about their characters and so the scenes may not mesh as well with the rest of the scenes which don't need to be reshot. This was Guy's big chance and he really needs this to not bomb at the box office unless he wants to go back and make another gangster movie in London which he should anyway because he kicks ass at those.

Freida Pinto Dumps Her Secret Husband

I know, I know. The headline is incredible right? Who the hell even knew Freida Pinto was married? I guess that is why it was secret. The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Freida is married and even has an interview with a "source."

In all of her interviews she has done for Slumdog, Freida never really talks about her personal life, and because she is such an unknown, most interviewers just let her get away with a few simple answers. They don't know what to ask. She has acknowledge that she has a fiancee named Rohan Antao. The pair met in college in 2004 and have been together since.

The scandal is this. Apparently without telling anyone but a few close friends the pair got married in December 2007 but didn't make it public because in India if you are an actress it is much easier to get work if you are single. Now, according to this source, as soon as Freida started making it big she dumped her husband. Prior to that when she was struggling he was always there for her and then right when the Golden Globe nominations were announced she abruptly stopped taking his calls and refuses to have anything to do with him because it might damage her career.

I really don't want this to be true. I don't care about the marriage part. That probably is true because her manager didn't think of a very good lie and didn't deny it outright. I just don't want her to be the kind of person who gets the I'm too good for you kind of attitude and entitlement. I want her to be normal. I guess that is too much to ask though. Don't go over to the dark side Freida. Stay here on the nice side.

The always on vacation Fergie and Josh Duhamel.
It is really never to early to start thinking about Halloween.
Hugh Dancy is also looking very nicely dressed.
But not as nice as Isla Fisher.
Yep. Looks like Ben Affleck. OK, but it was fun to say.
Well sure, I always have thought about Jerry Springer playing the Richard Gere role from Chicago. I mean basically they are interchangeable right? I mean Springer could have done Officer And A Gentleman and American Gigolo with his eyes closed.
"Look, I'm dating her. See? I'm with a woman."
Miley Cyrus does her best 80's Bon Jovi look. Seriously. If this were the late 1980's and I threw this photo up and you just glanced at it what would you think?
Mel Gibson is back in public.
So, not only did Mary Louise Parker ignore my advice about posing in front of a magazine photo of herself, but she also wore the same dress. Almost.
Paula Abdul actually looks normal here. Wow. Paula is joined by Jimmy Demers and Terri Seymour.

Quick Hits

Madonna Is A Name Dropper - Apparently Madonna doesn't give the world the same kind of consideration she gives Queen Elizabeth before deciding to take on a film role. While all of us but the most ardent Madonna supporters would probably love for her to never act in another movie again, apparently the only person she turns to now is Queen Elizabeth. Madonna really wants to portray Wallis Simpson who was an American who got the King of England to give up his throne to marry her. Well, Madonna has actually asked the Queen for her permission to portray Simpson. Hey, Queen Elizabeth. Two words for you Shanghai Surprise.

Angela Bassett Not Inviting Woody Allen To Dinner - Angela Bassett is not a very big fan of Woody Allen. In fact she basically accused him of being racist in his films. I think that might be a little extreme because she is talking about the movie Vicki Cristina Barcelona which has minorities in it. Angela is upset there was only one black person in the movie. "I mean, to have one black cast member for the whole film seems rather strange, and, oh yes, she's a prostitute, of course. Don't get me wrong, I love Spain and it looked beautiful, but that part of the world is so diverse and, really, what is that about?"

When asked if she would ever work with Allen, Angela said, "No. He's a little weird." Yeah, I could see that.

Robert Downey Jr & Reese Witherspoon - Apparently Reese wants to do an action movie so much she has signed on to do a Sci-fi movie called The Days Before. According to Production Weekly, "the story concerns a race of aliens who travel back in time and invade Earth in an attempt to wipe out the human race. Downey will play a man who must stay one step ahead of the time-traveling extraterrestrials to warn the world of their imminent arrival." Uh huh. I don't see Reese in this at all.

Maury Povich To The UK Stat - Or Dr. Rosen Rosen

Where is Maury Povich and a primetime special when you need it? The people in the UK really need to get their act together about the infinite possibilities of a DNA test and the television ratings they can bring.

If you will recall, last week I told you the story of the 13 year old kid who fathered a baby with his 15 year old girlfriend. The fact that the boy looks to be about 8 has something to do with the fascination of this story. Well, now things have got so much better. It seems as if two other teenage boys also had sex with the mother about the same time as Alfie and they also think they might be the father. One of the boys does look more like the child and so people are assuming he may in fact be the father.

Both of the other fathers-to-be each spent the night with the mother about 9-10 months ago and did so more than once. Alfie only had sex with her one time but was always presumed to be the father because no one knew about the other boys. I find that hard to believe considering that both of them said they often spent the night and did so on consecutive nights. Ummm. I know she is just living with her father, but he doesn't have a job so you would think he would pay more attention to what his 15 year old daughter was doing as well as the other five children of his living in the house.

Anyway, there is going to be a paternity test but no one has mentioned having it revealed on live television. Why? Everyone will get paid and the child will have money for the future and we all have a sick fascination with it. Don't feel sorry for them. They have all sold their stories anyway so it isn't like we are asking for something they didn't already do.

Now, I do feel sad for Alfie because he didn't know about the other two boys and so he is devastated that he might not be the dad. Alfie seems like a great kid so I would really like him to not be screwed over in all of this.

Blind Item Reveal - **Exclusive** Angela Kinsey Divorcing

So, if you will recall, I ran a blind item last week which was close to being revealed. Apparently it is going to be revealed in the next day or so, and so I might as well be first. Angela Kinsey and her husband are getting divorced. They have actually been separated since shortly after the birth of their child. Infant actually. Angela's sister-in-law and her husband's sister is the President of Lifetime.

February 12, 2009

This really could be something that is not a blind item, but the person who gave it to me really wants it as a blind rather than with a big screaming EXCLUSIVE all over it. I don't have the why yet, but it is supposed to be very interesting. You have a B- list television actress from one of the best television ensemble comedies of all time and she is getting divorced from her well connected industry husband who has had a sporadic career despite his connections. Even though they have a very, very, very young child the marriage has no chance of making it.

M.I.A. To Perform At Oscars

M.I.A. has said all along that she was going to perform at both the Grammy's and the Academy Awards this year no matter when she gave birth. Well, it turns out that even though she gave birth to her son at probably the best time for that to come true, the producers of the Oscars want to make sure she is not going to back out and have offered to even let her perform in a bed. Ummm. I think they were joking but I'm sure that if she could give the kind of performance she did at the Grammy's she can certainly stand in one spot and sing.

"She's eager to perform... We've said things like, 'We're willing to have her enter on a large bed'. We'll make it as easy for her as we can."

Well, I have become a big fan of M.I.A. Not just for her song or her declaration that she is going to perform at both events, but because she treats this whole thing with appreciation. She has said things like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and she might never be nominated for anything again and wants to take advantage of the whole thing. No diva behavior. Just excited to perform and be a part of two very special events. She doesn't feel entitled, just appreciative and I wish more celebrities would act like her. Add to the fact that she actually does have talent and it is very easy to root for her.

Kate Moss Not A Boy Anymore - Fears Boyfriend Won't Like It

I didn't really care that News of The World was saying Kate Moss was pregnant. Oh, I would have cared if it had been 18 months ago and it was Pete Doherty's baby or something like that, but Jamie Hince having a baby doesn't really get me all that excited. I wouldn't have even written about it except that in response Kate said a few things that made me laugh and cringe and applaud all in a sentence or two.

First, in response to the pregnancy rumors she just says that she has gained some weight. Actually what she said in an interview with the wonderful NY Magazine is that "I am a woman now. It's true. Honestly, I've never worn a bra in my life. Ever! It's so awful, even my friends are phoning me up and saying, 'Are you pregnant?' And I'm like, 'No! I just put on a couple of pounds and they went in the right place.' Isn’t that weird?"

That is weird. I would have thought when she was pregnant with her 6 year old daughter that she would have worn a bra or had bigger breasts but she says no. She also says she can now wear a B cup bra just in case anyone was wondering what size she would have worn previously. Of course now this will give her more opportunities to shill for Agent Provocateur. Tough to endorse a lingerie line if you aren't wearing it.

The thing that made me cringe was that right after she said she looked like a woman she was afraid Jamie wouldn't like her anymore. Apparently he likes his women to look like little boys I guess.

But, the BEST line was that she hates Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Last year at the Met Ball in New York City, all the celebrities were lined up for the red carpet and that grand entrance everyone makes at that ball when Tom and Katie showed up. "Tom and Katie just walked right up to the front, and we were like, 'Who the f**k are they? They're not even in fashion!'"

See, now Kate Moss is making me start to like her. Good luck on that whole woman thing.

US Weekly Goes Out On A Limb

How is this for breaking news? US Weekly has decided to go ahead and say that Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia broke up and that it happened within the last week. Wow. Really? And what gave you that f**king clue? Oh, was it the fact that Jesse McCartney and Hayden were practically having sex in a public place and that it was reported in every corner of the globe? Would that have been bad enough to cause the split? Well, maybe not. I mean the next day Jesse was rubbing the leg of Paris Hilton like a horny dog so one is guessing that he and Hayden just were having a bar hookup.

Plus, I mean Milo is not exactly getting younger. What are the odds of him dating another teenager at his age? OK, well forget I said that. He is on television. If he were a normal 30 something year old guy the only way he would be getting a teenager is if he paid for it.

US Weekly quotes a source who doesn't even mention all the making out Hayden did or that Milo is a complete ass and instead says it was "a lifestyle conflict." To me that is a bad choice of words because then it sounds like Milo was ready to engage in orgies, buy a gold necklace and add to his considerable chest hair while dancing to the grooves of his 8 track player.

Oh, and for this breathtaking news work, US Weekly claims an exclusive.

Chris Brown Wants To Be Like Paris

Apparently Chris Brown is under the impression that wherever Paris Hilton goes she is loved and adored and mobbed by fans. Therefore in an order to restore what he can of his reputation he has hired Mike Sitrick who is Paris' mouthpiece. Sitrick is the man responsible for that lame ass apology that Brown foisted off onto the world yesterday which was universally disliked. I mean when Gayle King says it isn't enough, then you know you know you have an audience for what you are saying and you better say it right.

Sitrick is an interesting choice because Paris is the one Brown was supposedly getting texts from when Rihanna flipped out. Sitrick is also the guy who said to say that Chris had not released all that stuff on Facebook and other comments because obviously calling the woman you allegedly beat and disease carrying tramp is not exactly going to win very many points.

Instead of Chris hiring a publicist that no one even likes in the press he should just save all his money and let it build and build because honestly he is never going to work again. Oh, sure he might get to be a producer for someone in 10 years but he will never get to be a singer again. Who is going to give him money to perform? He just needs to shut up and fade away. There is nothing to spin. No matter what you say you are going to look like an ass.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which crazy comic tells everyone about his, ummm, taste for booty whenever he’s trashed? Talk about TMI!

Hi Guys, due to a massive hangover, I won't be able to post until this afternoon. Sorry.
