Four For Friday - D Listers

You know how I love themes on Friday's. All of these people are D listers. If you saw them and someone told you what show or movie they had been in you would say, "Oh yeah. I remember them." Chances are you probably wouldn't know them otherwise. Whatever their faults though, they do make for some interesting blinds.

#1 & 2 - This was a very popular family movie based on a best selling book starring lots of kids. One of the teenagers (at the time) in the movie who is extremely good looking and makes his career based on those looks now got his on set tutor pregnant. They are not together anymore and she is raising their child.

#3 & 4- This actress was very young when she was on this hit network drama. It ran for at least five years and during the last three of those years she was doing coke on a daily basis. After the show went off the air she spent a year in rehab and getting her nose fixed before her parents felt she was ready to return to middle school. Yes, middle school. She has just started acting again, although this time it is movies.

Random Photos Part One

I put the Queen on top, because I don't think I have ever seen her smile, and certainly not one that actually looked genuine like this.

A first time appearance for Michael Jai White.
I didn't even recognize Michelle Rodriguez.

Your Turn

It's that time of the week again. Once again this week, the anonymous commenting feature has been turned back on so everyone can contribute and also can spill what they know without anyone knowing it. This week what I want to know is your juiciest gossip story. No, not about you. We already kind of did that last week. No, this week I want you to relate the best gossip you have ever heard from your friends or family.

Did the neighbor down the street film porn in their house? Was the woman across the street sleeping with her neighbor's son? Did your uncle actually get a sex change? Everyone has gossip. Let's hear it.

At Least Miley Did Like Radiohead

I would have thought this Miley Cyrus vs. Radiohead feud would have blown over by now, but Thom Yorke won't let it go. Apparently he must think that Miley Cyrus can in fact ruin his band. I think just the fact that Radiohead was Miley's favorite band has ruined them for everyone else. How can you love a band knowing that Hannah Montana used to want to be the president of their fan club.

In case you are not aware of how the feud came to be, it all started last month at the Grammy's. Miley had a dressing room a few down from Radiohead and she was dying to meet them. Dying to meet them like a 16 year old girl dying to meet them. Kind of like 10 year old girls and the Jonas Brothers dying to meet them.

So, Miley did what any 16 year old girl would do. She sent over her manager to knock on their door to find out if they would meet her. I gather it was like sending a note in high school to ask someone to ask someone if they liked you. Well, Radiohead said no. Miley was crushed because she had already told all her friends she was going to meet them and now she wouldn't and she had to stay after school because Mr. South caught her talking in class, and she was getting a zit.

Since that day, Miley has vowed to ruin Radiohead. But, also since that day nothing has really happened in Miley's quest to destroy them. Her best bet would be to sing a covers album and that would pretty much ruin them. Instead of just letting it all go though, Thom decided to open his mouth and take a shot at Miley. In an statement to US Weekly he said, "When Miley grows up, she’ll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement."

I don't think sending her manager over is having a sense of entitlement. And I know there are lots of bands and groups that are just as excited about meeting some other group and they get excited and nervous to meet their heroes. As much as I like Radiohead, I think they could have spent ten seconds meeting Miley, and continuing this feud just sounds like Thom is trying to generate some extra publicity for the band which doesn't make them look so hot either.

WTF? Jamie Kennedy & Jennifer Love Hewitt

I didn't really have much respect left for Jennifer Love Hewitt, but whatever I did have is completely gone. She was engaged to by all accounts a really nice guy who put up with all of her wacky crap for a very long time. Despite the fact that she probably had her mom sleeping in the same room with them, and dealing with Jennifer's continual whining on a daily basis he stuck it out only to be dumped.

And for whom was he dumped? Jamie Kennedy. Can you imagine how Ross McCall feels knowing that he lost out to Jamie Kennedy? I know I posted about it on Monday, but let me reiterate how unfunny he was and how much of a douchebag everyone in town thinks he is. Somehow though he managed to get Jennifer Love Hewitt. This morning on Ryan Seacrest, Jamie confessed they were a couple. Apparently working together everyday must have given him the chance to grind her down and suck up to her enough where he managed to win her heart, or the heart of her mother, or just managed to demean himself enough to where she would agree to go out with him.

I mean I could understand if she dumped Ross for some guy she felt she had a better connection with, but Jamie Kennedy? Seriously? Jamie Kennedy? With his history of hitting on every woman who comes within six feet of him, I wonder how many condoms she makes him wear. Didn't she make that LFO guy wear two or something?

On Seacrest's show Jamie said the two are in love. Actually he called it more than love. He did say they were not engaged. I'm just wondering how many months Jennifer was cheating on Ross, and you know Jamie didn't care at all.

Miss May Is Miss DUI

Apparently being a centerfold in the upcoming May issue of Playboy doesn't pay the bills like it once did. Oh, and it also apparently doesn't keep you from getting arrested for DUI. Crystal McCahill was arrested back in January for a DUI. Until yesterday though, no one connected the dots that this Crystal arrested for DUI was the same Crystal who will not be wearing any clothes when the May issue of Playboy hits the stand.

Well, someone finally figured it out and so now Crystal, who has been on The Girls Next Door will have a nice sized scrum of press surrounding her March 19th court appearance in Chicago. According to the Chicago Sun Times, Crystal was on her way home from work when she was pulled over for running a red light in her 2005 VW. It turns out Crystal works at a nightclub called Climax. You really can't make this kind of stuff up. While at work, she says she only had three shots of booze but which kind of seems wrong considering her blood alcohol level was about twice the legal limit.

I'm guessing this arrest will probably make her much more famous than she would have been otherwise. Kind of sucks that she runs a red light while being drunk and could have killed someone and now she will probably make a bunch of money off it.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which rapper threatened a pal after the buddy mistreated his girlfriend? The icon got in his face, then froze him out on the group’s private jet.

Bret Michaels Doesn't Want You To Forget The Diabetes

Bret Michaels is releasing a tell all book in June. The title is going to be Roses and Thorns: The Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy To My Reality. OK, that is a lengthy title. In the book, Bret basically says that he has been a drug using man whore for his entire adult life, but as an after thought, throws in the fact that he is also a guy who suffers from diabetes.

I guess he wants to remind us all that he isn't that bad of a guy no matter what he does because he has to live with that everyday. I've watched that show of his and he's a tool. He has no respect for the women on the show and I think trying to get us to sympathize with him just because he has diabetes is kind of pandering. I'm glad it shows the people who do suffer from diabetes that they don't have to give up on their dreams of being a rock star or living a normal life, but it just feels all oily the way he uses it as a shield against any negative reviews of the way he has lived his life.

That being said, if I find myself stuck in a bookstore in June I will probably sit down and read the thing. I don't think I would actually want to purchase it, but I would like to read about the fist fight he got into with CeCe DeVille and if either one of them actually landed a punch or if they were too worried about messing up their hair or knocking their coke off the table.

Would Britney Spears Live In Afghanistan?

Since Britney Spears doesn't seem to be able to stop wanting to be with Adnan Ghalib, I was just wondering if she would be willing to follow him to Afghanistan if he gets deported there. I always thought he was British, but The Sun is saying that he may in fact be an Afghani citizen which is where he moved when he was five years old.

Adnan is facing all kinds of charges for allegedly using his car as a battering ram against a process server last month. If Adnan is convicted of the charges he currently he is alleged to have committed, he would serve his sentence and then be deported back to the country where he has citizenship. Although he was born in the UK, he and his family moved to Afghanistan.

The thought of Adnan forced to live in Afghanistan makes me laugh, but could you imagine Britney Spears living there? "Where's the fried catfish ya'll?"

Hayden Panettiere Is Still A Pain

Hayden Panettiere continues to have a very bad week. Even when she tries to explain herself, she sounds vindictive and makes everything that came out about her this past week right on point. Apparently Hayden consented to an interview with OK! to try and explain everything that has gone on this week. Well, I say interview, but in actuality it just appears that OK! got fed a few lines from her publicist and printed those.

In response to the allegations that she is trying to get Milo Ventimiglia kicked off the show, she said, "Milo and I are very close. We have enjoyed and continue to enjoy working together." Umm yeah. That doesn't answer the question about whether you are trying to get him kicked off the show. Apparently she must be having some luck, because the guy who runs Heroes says he is till deciding who is going to get to stay on for next year. Those are not very encouraging words if you are Milo.

As for why she went ballistic in Hawaii, she says, "I have tremendous respect for the media and reporters – particularly the press who treat the people they are interviewing with dignity. I am appreciative that the press has supported me, my career, and especially the causes I feel passionately about. While in Hawaii, one reporter grabbed me suddenly from behind and frightened me. It happens. Typically, the press has treated me with great respect."

Umm. How did he frighten you. He touched you on the back of your shoulder because you had blown off all the press. As for wanting them to treat you with dignity, maybe you should show them some as well. Oh, and by dignity do you mean reporters who are going to kiss your ass and/or pay you for the privilege of getting to speak with you? I have never seen worse spin. All it shows is there was no way you can spin the truth. She was an ass and nothing is going to change that.

Gay Porn Murder

Who ever knew that gay porn producers could be so ruthless? Apparently there is this actor named Sean Lockhart who has the stage name Brent Corrigan (lower right photo) in gay porn who is the best of the best. He is really good at what he does and he makes a great deal of money for the producer of his films. He was tied into an exclusive contract with a producer named Bryan Kocis. (lower left)

I say he was tied into a contract, because Bryan is dead. Bryan was murdered by a rival producer who drove from Virginia to Pennsylvania to kill Bryan just so he could sign the services of this porn star.

But wait, it gets better. So, the producer who did the killing is Harlow Raymond Cuadra (upper left) but he didn't act alone. Nope. Harlow decided he needed some company to commit the murder so he got his ex boyfriend and to go with him. Is this kind of like ex-sex? Instead of getting back together for sex, you get back together and go kill someone in order to save your relationship?

So, Harlow and his ex boyfriend Joseph Kerekes (upper right) who made his living as a gay escort get to Pennsylvania, go to the producer's home and then stab him to death. Not content with just stabbing the guy a bunch of times, they also decided to go ahead and burn his house down.

Apparently Joseph plead guilty to second degree murder back in December, and yesterday, Harlow was convicted of first degree murder and now faces the death penalty. This actor must be something pretty special. I wonder who signed him now.

Lily Allen Contributes To The Recession By Hitting A Pap

Look at the motion of Lily Allen's throwing arm in the top photo. She has really great form and I'm sure if she had actually hit anyone with the bottle she threw, it may have caused some damage. Of course, I believe the bottle was plastic, and empty, but it still could have stung.

The reason Lily was working on her pitching and her punching is because a pap allegedly hit Lily's car. Instead of letting her two big bodyguards beat up the pap, Lily decided to go ahead and do it herself. First, she threw the bottle. She then tried to punch the guy, who moved out of the way. Growing frustrated, Lily decided to go ahead and kick him.
It is actually quite funny when you look at the photos. I'm wondering a few things though when I look at the photos. For one thing, if Lily is so damn poor, and she says she sold off her car, then how does she now have a new car and two bodyguards to travel with her? Bodyguards are not cheap. Plus, why does she need bodyguards? You might say for incidents just like this one. I would agree except for one thing. They are not doing anything. They pulled Lily off the pap. Other than that they didn't get involved. Why pay them if they are not going to give the guy a beating for hitting Lily's car? Oh, because they kept their calm unlike Lily.
Now, if she gets arrested she will probably get her work visa yanked, so she won't come play concerts here and her album sales will suffer and she will become even more poor and have to make do with just one bodyguard. See? The recession even affects bodyguards. Oh, and think of all the people who were going to work a shift at the concert venues she could have played here if she had kept her cool. The concession stand workers, the security guys. The ushers and ticket takers. What about parking lots attendants and valets. Don't forget the waiters and waitresses and cooks of the bars and restaurants people would have gone to before and after each show. With losing her temper, Lily has basically just added to the misery of the recession.

Is Howard K Stern Responsible For Anna Nicole's Death?

By now I'm sure you all have read about how Howard K Stern and two doctors were arrested on a variety of felony counts all having to do with making sure Anna Nicole Smith was kept fully medicated at all times. I understand the two doctors being arrested. They obviously knew she was addicted to pills, and yet they kept prescribing them despite there being no medical need.

What about Howard K? I don't like him and never will, but should he also be arrested for this? Sure, he helped Anna get the drugs, and had the doctors come up with fake names, but there are LOTS of celebrities who get prescriptions in fakes names, or names of family, or even in the names of their doctors. Paris should have thought about doing that. I'm not sure how common it is in the rest of the country, but out here, I don't blink when I hear about some manager who has 20 different prescriptions and none of them are for him. The game then is trying to figure out which of his clients belong to which prescription.

What I am interested in knowing, and what this case will probably not ever bring to light is if Howard controlled Anna with the drugs? Did she know what she was taking? Did he get her addicted to the drugs so she would be dependent on him? Was it because of Howard that her son got addicted and ultimately died? I would like to see someone be held responsible for her son's death. As for Anna's death, if she knew what she was doing, then why should the person who brought her the drugs be held responsible for her death. Howard didn't prescribe the drugs. He found doctors who would be willing to use fake names and who weren't ethical, but ultimately it was Anna who took the pills and made the decision to keep taking them.

I understand the crime Howard K committed. I understand why he was charged, and to me anyway, it is pretty clear that he committed the crimes he has been alleged to have committed. I'm just wondering if he is responsible for Anna's death by his actions. If you want to read the entire 18 page complaint, click here.

Ted C Blind Item

Schlong Fenn is a real schmuck—everybody knows he treats women worse than his liver, everybody. And yes, more than a few folks are aware Schlong, who's infinitely talented in his many different creative endeavors, likes to reserve the right to Charlie Sheen it up and pay for his booty.

And as if this is going to surprise anybody, Schlong isn't just paying the ladies to distract him from his many other (nonpaid) gal interests, he's going for porn stars, too. That's what happens, right? I mean, it's like drugs, I guess—one minute you're tokin' on a little Black Gold, then—wham!—-you're shootin' up with Fake à la Ferocity, right? Right: So much so…

That a chick who was just filming a porn movie—high-budget stuff, no joke—right across the street from Schlong's fancyass pad just happened to end up doing Schlong, too. Hmm…wonder what S.P. was doing over there anyway, borrowing a cup of lube?

'Cause the nasty freak surely doesn't use condoms, that we know. But get this: In the course of diddling the pretty hung dude (damn shame Schlong's usually so wasted he really doesn't know what to do with his gift of an organ), she discovered that Mr. Fenn is currently having a longstanding affair with another porn actress!

Crazy, I just love this! While everybody is so frantic wondering why Schlong and his gal broke up (and then got back together and broke up and then, well, you know the boring story), no one's put it together that that other babe's a triple-X kinda gal! Oh, and that's not even the best part.

In some states (maybe all of them?), I don't believe Madame X is old enough to be having sex, much less making a living photographing it.

It Ain't: Diddy, Nick Lachey, Rob Pattinson

Today's Blind Items

What married Oscar nominated actor and very senior citizen has moved out on his wife of a bazillion years to shack up with his barely 20 something co-star who herself is probably a C lister seen pretty much always on television. She has two great shows to her name.

Random Photos Part One

The original Tony & Tia from Escape To Witch Mountain and Return From Witch Mountain at the premiere for Race To Witch Mountain.
And here Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards are back in 1975.
You would think that Amanda Bynes would be smiling much bigger knowing she dumped that tool Doug Reinhardt, and that any kissing she may have done with him was prior to him getting exposed to whatever Paris Hilton has running through her system.
The new Tony & Tia, although in the movie their names are Seth and Sara.
Brittny Gastineau claims there is interest in her doing another reality program. Interest and a paycheck for doing it are two completely separate things.
Is it just me, or is Bai Ling really becoming more modest in her clothing choices?
"Dear Lord. Please let Britney not go off the deep end so we can keep getting paid."
Corey Feldman with two guests who are definitely not his wife.
Why hello Carla Gugino, it must be a week since you have been in the photos. That is far too long.
You may not recognize the name Christine Lakin, but if you watched Step By Step you probably recognize her face. It's hard to believe she is 30.
Bad Idea #642 - Daniel Baldwin and a golf club.
Apparently Dwayne Johnson really wants to do a Broadway musical. I'm thinking he should take Shannen Doherty's part in Heathers. Seriously, I'm trying to think what role he might be good for and can't think of one.
Our very own Dominique Swain. Not that we own her, own her, but she does have a special place in the history of the site.
Ummm. My vote for the worst ever photo of Dita von Teese.
I'm not sure why Gwen is wearing Gavin's pants, but whatever makes their relationship work. It has worked for Tom and Katie.
Hugh Jackman does airplane rides with his daughter.
The lovely Juliette Binoche.
Jewel and a crutch.
Jennifer Morrison and Amaury Nolasco don't usually let themselves be photographed together so this is kind of interesting.
Kimberly Caldwell on the way to her dinner theatre job where she plays Sandy in Grease. I would have also accepted Rizzo.
Randomness of the day. Kanye with Lady GaGa who looks a lot like his girlfriend. I'm surprised Kanye even went out last night considering how bad the reviews of his American Idol performance have been.
Miranda Cosgrove going to a party at the adult table.
Michael Vartan with a golfer tan and some tattoos I didn't know he had.
I guess it is because it is about the only time she ventures outside, but every photo of Natalie Portman is always when she is walking her dog.
Orlando Bloom letting his hair grow out.
Olivia Wilde needs to eat something.
Shannen Doherty and her dude. Shannen says she is going to be on the season finale of 90210. Maybe she gets to kill someone. That would be fun.
Taylor Swift - Sydney
Apparently today in Sweden is Victoria Day. So, everyone in the entire country comes out and says hi to Crown Princess Victoria. Does she get presents? I bet Victoria would like some presents. It probably makes her feel more like a princess when she gets presents. How about cake? Does she get cake? Maybe she passes out red velvet cup cakes to all her subjects. It is a big crowd, so you would think they have free food or ABBA showing up.

Tastes Like Clooney

I think it is bad enough there is a cologne using Diddily Piddily's breath as its inspiration. Now though comes something even worse. I know, I know, it's hard to believe there could be anything worse than an entire world of people walking around smelling like Sean Combs' breath.

But, thanks to the people over at PETA, there may in fact be something worse. It seems that PETA got their hands on a gym towel that George Clooney perspired all over. Instead of putting it into the washing machine, PETA sent a letter to George asking if it would be ok for them to use his perspiration in a tofu recipe.

According to Ingrid Newkirk, who is the President of PETA, turning sweat into gravy is just as easy as making artificial chicken flavoring for gravy. Mmmmm. Yum.

Ingrid thinks it would be the greatest idea ever and imagined parties attended by people all across the world who would want to sample CloFu. Yeah, nothing like the taste of some sweat mixed with some bean curd. "Would you like your sweat on the side sir?"

George however is not interested and responded to PETA's offer by stating, "As a mammal, I'm offended."

This may all be a joke. Is it possible to do something like that? Anyway, if it isn't a big joke, then I don't think it will be long before we see Pamela Anderson contributing some fluids from her body so everyone can try some PamFu.

I Just Don't Care

All morning I have been trying to get excited writing about John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston breaking up again, but I'm not. I honestly just don't care whether they are together or not. I didn't care when they got together the first time, nor when they broke up the first time. I didn't care when they got back together. The only time I had an inkling of caring was when they went to the Academy Awards together. I thought that was kind of nice. It didn't make me want to post about it, but it was kind of nice.

I'm tired of every article or interview ever written about Jen asking her about her feelings for Brad and Angelina and that whole thing. I would say give it a rest, but apparently, the magazines are being encouraged to ask those questions because then it generates more press for Jennifer and the magazines get more sales so it is a win/win.

In an ideal world I just wish Brangelina and Jennifer would just go away and let us move on to new people and new rumors. It is just a never ending cycle with these three because they all have very good people working for them who know how to manipulate the press and to say things sure to generate more publicity.

Today I posted the nanny story because it was interesting and if Jennifer Aniston was caught rubbing the back of her pool boy, I would think that is pretty interesting as well. Unfortunately though, what we get day after day is just fluff, and not even good fluff.

I wish that John and Jen would stay together because then all we would have to read about are marriage and pregnancy rumors. Instead, now we will have to go through the who is she dating game for months on end. I hate it.

I think that is why I love writing about lesser known celebrities. It seems like their stories are more interesting, plus, we have not heard about them everyday for the last four years.

Did you realize that Mr. & Mrs. Smith came out four years ago? For the last four years, I doubt there has been a week or even three or four days where Jen, Brad or Angelina has not been mentioned in a magazine or tabloid. I would also guess that one of the three has been has been on a cover of a magazine at least once a month for the past 48 months. It's too much. No more please.

Pete Doherty Sold Drugs To The Strokes

Well, I'm sure The Strokes will be happy to know that Pete Doherty threw them under a bus. I doubt it will come as a huge shock to anyone that The Strokes may have dabbled with some drugs, but to actually come out and say you sold them the drugs, and did it more than once, says a little bit about how Pete must be needing some money. Hopefully at some point his money shortage will cause him to write a tell all book about his time with Kate Moss. That is what I want to read. Hell, just make it about his life. Start with when he became a gay escort and just go from there.

In an interview with ShortList Magazine, Pete says, "I used to sell a few little things on the side, you know? The Strokes were on their first tour, and were like just a few American lads in London looking for a good time. They met a friend of mine, who said I could get them a few bits and bobs. I think I sold them a load of acid, they gave me tickets to their gig, I got them some more acid and it went from there.”

The last part about it went from there is really interesting. Does he mean it went from there and he ended up selling them more drugs or different drugs, or that his career as drug dealer to visiting bands took off after that?

I'm glad he has a career after music. I can't wait to see if The Strokes respond to this and if Pete has any additional details to share about who was with The Strokes as guests at that time and if they also shared in the acid.

Right Said Fred Are Back And Hopefully Have New Shirts

You know you sing, "I'm Too Sexy," when no one else is around. Well, I'm sure that you have been spending the last 18 years waiting for Right Said Fred to make a comeback so you can add to your guilty pleasures and just to see, if in fact, they are still too sexy for their shirts. Apparently the brothers are in LA right now recording a video for their new song, "I'm A Celebrity."

Yes, I'm sure it is something they wish they were, but do you think people still notice them wherever they go? If I compiled a list of celebrities, I'm not sure I would choose to include the writers of a one hit wonder song, no matter how long its staying power.

In an interview they did with Radar, the brothers said, they don't really like artists such as Amy Winehouse and Duffy because, "They're big with kids who aren't really old enough to realize how derivative they are."

Umm, wow. This coming from the guys who made popular the phrase, "I shake my little touche on the catwalk."

The video below is their attempt back in 2007 to re-release their song with a new video.

It Pays To Know Amy Winehouse Which Sucks For Nicole Richie

According to The Mirror, Amy Winehouse's 12 year old goddaughter is getting paid $15,000 to walk the runway at Liverpool's Fashion Week in the hopes that her attendance will get Amy Winehouse to show up. While Amy Winehouse showing up will probably bring a lot of publicity, the thought of Amy Wienhouse drunk and with access to a runway makes me kind of scared for everyone else in attendance.

Apparently though, this payment to 12 year old Dionne Bromfield is more than the organizers were willing to pay Nicole Richie to show up and walk the runway. As a result, Nicole has pulled out of the event. Yeah, it must suck to know that a 12 year old who may or may not bring someone famous to the show is worth more than the fame Nicole Richie would bring to the show.

I'm sure that if Nicole was offered a spot in the show and has indeed pulled out, her pregnancy will be used as the excuse why she had to suddenly pull out of the event.

Marcia Cross Has Made Her Husband Vanish

Has anyone noticed that since the announcement was made in January about Marcia Cross' husband Tom Mahoney having cancer that he has not really been seen in public at all.

My search was not really exhaustive, but the last time I can find a photo of them together from an event or out in public together was in October of last year at a pumpkin patch.

It seems that Marcia has been doing a lot of events, and a lot of press completely on her own now, and the spin of all the press is about how she spends so much time with her kids. There is not even a mention of Tom in the two most recent interviews she has given, despite the fact they were all about kids and family how her children spend each day.

Instead of saying things like they love to play with their dad or do this with mom and dad, the entire interview spoke about how they love to play with Marcia and how she takes them everywhere and there was not even one hint of a mention of Tom.

When you read the interviews it is as if she is a single mom. I just find it odd that there is not one mention of Tom or how he helps with the kids or anything. It is all about her. Now, I'm wondering if this is because his cancer has progressed to the point where he can't do anything and she doesn't want anyone to know, or if she and Tom have split and she doesn't want anyone to know.

Either way, there is something going on here that is being hidden.

Here is the interview from Tuesday. Don't be fooled by People's mention of Tom. He wasn't there. They just used the term stepping away for some odd reason.

This is an interview with Celebrity Baby Blog she did this week. Notice it is all about her, her, her for several thousand words, and then at the very end in the last sentence she says, "dad's been with them." That's it.

Pamela Bach Spends More Time In Jail

if Pamela Bach could have got this kind of attention when she was an actress, then perhaps her career could have gone somewhere. Last night the ex-wife of The Hoff was arrested for felony DUI at around 9pm, which means according to my calculations, she got tanked at dinner. You don't often get the 9pm DUI's, but, the good news is that because it was so early she got bailed out and was home in bed by midnight.

This is not the first time Pamela has seen the inside of a jail cell. Let's take a look back, shall we? In September 2007, she turned herself in to police after being charged with a hit and run that had taken place in January 2007. I'm guessing she fled the scene before cops got there, because perhaps she was suffering from the same issue she was last night. That charge was later dropped.

Of course back in 2006, The Hoff accused of her being a drug addict, and that she needed daily psychiatric help and medications.

I think of all this probably played a part in the $100,000 bail Bach had to put up last night. That is a very large amount to have to put up for a DUI. Of course by the time this is all done, she will probably have to take a class or two and nothing else will happen to her, and she will be free to do it again, and maybe next time end the life of someone.

Levi & Bristol Break Up

Come on. All of you thought Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston were going to last forever didn't you? From what I have read today it didn't even last until the birth of their baby. It seems to have ended right about the time that Levi's mom was arrested for drugs. Since then, depending on who you believe, Levi and Bristol have been model parents and Levi has seen his son everyday, or you could choose to believe that the Palin family considers Levi's family to be white trash and so Levi is not allowed to have his son at his house. Or, you could go to the other extreme which is that Levi's family are a bunch of money hungry pigs cashing in on the Palin name. The last one comes from Palin's political action committee. I kind of took out their fancy words and replaced them with what they really meant. Although, they did use the words cashed in in their press release. It was supposedly written by Bristol, but it is all spelled correctly and DuZnt LoOk like this, so I have doubts that it is really from an 18 year old.

"Unfortunately, my family has seen many people say and do many things to `cash in' on the Palin name. Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth."

I think we all know they probably stayed together longer then they would have if it wasn't for being in the spotlight. I bet they had already broken up prior to the Vice President announcement because there are just too many stories about both of them cheating to not be believed. When it comes down to it they are just two teenagers who had a kid and broke up. Happens everyday. It just so happens one grandparent is facing serious time in jail for drugs and the other grandparent wants to run for President in 2012.

I'm Tired Of Joaquin Phoenix

Apparently Joaquin Phoenix was at it again last night. His fake rapping being filmed, and oooops, what do you know, a heckler in the crowd and Joaquin just had to come down from the stage and confront him and be pulled off by security. This act is completely old by now and everyone sees it for what it is despite denials by anyone surrounding the actor. Yes, actor. He didn't give up crap. The only thing he has proved is that he knows how to copy the ideas of Andy Kaufman and Sacha Baron Cohen, but has a problem actually pulling it off.

Last night in Miami when this incident happened, Joaquin went on stage four hours late. It was 2am, which was supposedly so they had time to set up the cameras everywhere they needed to be for the stage, but, then how come the heckler was set in a position where the cameras picked him up clearly?

I just hope they finish this thing soon because it is embarrassing to Casey Affleck and to Joaquin. I'm sure after they are done they will say they fooled everyone. They haven't fooled anyone. They are just being foolish and I think the entire movie or television series or whatever they are making is going to be awful. If you want to watch the video of it, click here.

But Angelina, It Was Just A Back Rub

I'm sure it has happened to all of us at one time or another. You find yourself alone with the nanny or the gardener or pool boy and they look a little tired and a little stiff and so you offer them a drink and then give them a massage up in your bedroom. There is nothing sexual about it, it is just you being a good host, employer, or what have you.

According to Star Magazine, when Brad Pitt decided to do something similar for their nanny recently, Angelina Jolie went ballistic. How bad? Well she slapped him across the face and fired the nanny right then and there.

"She completely flipped out," says the insider. "She got right in Brad's face, screaming at the top of her lungs, and told the nanny to get out of her house and never come back!"

This happened in the bedroom of the twins and Brad was rubbing the back of the nanny. After Angelina started screaming, the twins woke up and so Brad was trying to get them back to sleep and also trying to make Angelina and the nanny happy.

I'm sure the nanny probably just pulled a muscle and Brad was helping out. He likes to help people. He's a helper.

This B+ only movie actor with A name recognition has been married a very long time. He rarely cheats. When he does cheat, his wife invariably discovers it, but never does anything about it. Well, that is until on the set of his last movie he got involved with a D list actress who has moved up into the world of C list and was heading to B with a bunch of great new roles she got via the casting couch. Well, after she and our B list actor had their fun, she decided that maybe she should try and hitch herself to his star.

No damage was done physically, but our actor's wife called everyone she knew in town and our up and coming actress has not even had a whiff of an offer since.

Random Photos Part One

Yes, it is a tiny, cell phone photo, but it was taken by a reader at the recent Morrissey concert in Myrtle Beach so it gets the top spot. Thanks Sarah.
Andy Garcia - Miami
Lots of first timers today. Aaron Paul, however has been in the photos before.
Apparently in the world Britney Spears inhabits, life jackets on boats just are not that important for her, for her friends or for her kids.
Sure. Now that Denise is on a network show all of that bitterness to the paps just kind of fades away. When she gets kicked off, she is either going to blame it on Charlie or because she can't get over the grieving process of her mom.
Two days in a row for Emily Blunt? I don't care. I like her. She can be in all the time.
It's hard to believe, but I think this is a first time appearance for Eriq La Salle, at least in the photos.
Griffin Dunne is a blast from the past. Don't worry. When I use that phrase, I don't feel the urge to go home and watch that movie.
Garret Dillahunt has been in the photos, but it has been awhile.
I must have looked at 100 photos of Jessica Alba walking the streets of Paris. In all of them she is completely alone. I have to give her some credit for not needing an entire gang of bodyguards to keep her safe. If this were Katie Holmes who is much lower on the food chain of stars, she would be surrounded by minders, bodyguards and a portable e-meter.
Yeah, yeah. It's Jude Law at some kind of deer meat party. The woman's name is Fru Tholstrup. That first name has got to be one hell of a challenge in person or on the phone. "Your name is Threw?" "Few?"
Jeremy Resnick looks like he is fearful of an attack.
I have not posted John Malkovich in awhile.
No retouching or anything. This is Jamie Pressly doing some press for "I Love You Man." She looks good.
Also in the movie is Jason Segel. As you can tell, his photo has been airbrushed and photoshopped and he still looks like this. I kid. I kid. I love Jason Segel.
Everyone keeps talking about her hair. I want to know what is up with the eye of Katie Holmes. It also looks like she has got some kind of facial tic.
Two days in a row of Kiefer. Why not?
Kate Walsh and her all leather look.
I will say this about Nicole Kidman. She learned how to work the press from Tom really well. She has had one week of attention from this photo because she touched her stomach and everyone thought she was pregnant. If Keith touched his d**k, would we all think he got it cut off?
We always see Penelope Cruz all glammed up. This is her at a basketball game here last night.
If everytime I told a lie, a 70 foot sandwich came out of my nose, I would weigh a lot more than I do now.
Paul Rudd. Enough said.
I'm trying to remember the last time I saw Paul Teutul smile. It also looks like he lost some weight.
My favorite actress, Rashida Jones.
Unless you were a huge fan of Gilmore Girls then you probably don't know who Riki Lindhome is, but I saw that it was her 30th birthday last week, so thought I would put her in the photos as a birthday present and to give her some attention.
Ralph Macchio looks great for 84 years old. Oh, wait. He is 47. It just feels like he has been around that long. Still looks good though.
Reese and her imaginary friend appear to have got into an argument.
I'm not saying you shouldn't try this at home, but, at least wear your goggles and a cup. This is for SAW, The Ride in London.
Simon Baker is in the top 5 of the best looking guys on television.
Tom & Colin Hanks.
They needed to raise that backdrop just a bit higher. It kind of makes it look like Taylor Swift did this in her living room.
I think it has happened. I think Tori Spelling's head weighs more than the rest of her body.
This is the first time I have ever seen a candid of Wolfgang Puck so I had to put it in.
Zac Efron. I don't have much to say. It's a movie premiere. He showed up. It's his movie. I put him in the photos.

Pressure Works - Chris Brown Says No To Kid's Choice Awards Nomination

It seems that "everyday people" can do some good. With all of the websites giving Chris Brown and Viacom/Nickelodeon crap for his being allowed to possibly win a Kid's Choice Award, Chris Brown's people finally wised up and withdrew his name from consideration. Of course they are still trying to make it look like they did it out of the goodness of their hearts, but it is still a small victory.

"Chris very much appreciates the support of his fans and the honor they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated," says the statement. "While Chris would like to speak to his fans directly about this and other issues, pending legal proceedings preclude his doing so at this time. Once the matter before him has been resolved, he intends to do so.”

Yeah, I'm sure he intends to speak to someone about it. At what point do you think he would actually sit down and answer questions about it? I would not hold your breath waiting for that to ever happen.

Ryan Seacrest Can't Buy Angelina Jolie

At this point, Angelina Jolie's snubs of Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet have become one of the highlights of any award show. The only reason to watch E!'s coverage is to watch what new way Angelina can make Ryan look like an idiot as he runs down the red carpet begging to get a little face time with the actress. According to Fox News, it isn't like E! hasn't tried everything they can think of to make Ryan look a little less foolish.

According to the tax records of Brangelina's charitable foundation, E! contributed $250,000 in 2007. It doesn't look like they got much for their money. I'm not sure Angelina has even sat down to do any kind of interview with the network. According to the filing, People magazine didn't even give a dime in 2007, yet they still manage to always get face time with the couple. I guess they really just don't care for Ryan. Or, maybe they are just doing their own personal protest against some of the reality shows the channel puts on the air. I'm guessing that when the 2008 records are released E! probably didn't make a contribution. To see where the massive amounts of money contributed to the charity went, you can click here.

Jada Pinkett Wants To Start A High School

Despite all of the negative feedback surrounding the opening of the school Jada Pinkett and Will Smith created, Jada thinks the school is doing great and wants to add a high school for the students who are currently enrolled in The New Village Leadership Academy. When the school opened, it generated a lot of criticism because it uses a Scientology based instruction method. The school swears up and down that it is secular and has nothing to do with Scientology. Uh huh.

Jada says that she loves the way the school is designed and that it encourages "100% mastery." Apparently what that means is that all students are supposed to keep retaking exams until they all get a perfect score. Well, if they do the same thing in a high school, it will be the first school to ever have everyone with a perfect grade point average. I'm not sure I see the point in having people take exams repeatedly until they score 100%. What it would mean to me if I were a student is that I didn't have to study because I would know that I would get to take the exam again and again until I got a perfect score. What is the incentive to study?

Mandy Moore Gets Married

I don't usually write about weddings, but when you do it quiet and sneaky like Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams, I guess it deserves a little mention. According to US Weekly, the pair got married yesterday in Savannah, Georgia. Mandy had said that she wanted a quiet wedding and apparently she got just that. I mean she got married on a Tuesday far away from Hollywood. Although I always wish a couple the best, neither of them have had the best luck with relationships.

Miley's Not Ready To Shack Up With Justin

Miley Cyrus was doing some press for her new book, which she says was really hard to write. Uh huh. Anyway, she was doing press on WKQI which is a Detroit radio station and they actually asked her whether she was ready to move in with Justin Gaston. Now, remember the entire Disney empire has been feeding us the line they are not really even boyfriend and girlfriend. Sure, we all know that is not true, but I don't think officially anyone has moved from that particular mantra. So, instead of repeating the mantra or saying something like she is 16 and he is 20, she instead says she doesn't want to because he is too messy.

"I love him to death, but no . . . [Justin] is so smart, but just like, everything has to, like, go where it's supposed to go and if it doesn't, I get like really frustrated."

So, she is a neat freak and he isn't. Of course you could go totally rated X with this quote as well and say that Justin likes it one way and Miley likes it an entirely different way which would make the whole Justin/Billy Ray thing much easier to understand.

Those Bar Hookups Never Work Out

So, a Spice Girl and a shipping tycoon walk into a bar and two weeks later they are engaged. I was sure, and I know all of you were probably sure that this two week courtship between Geri Halliwell and her shipping tycoon boyfriend Fabrizio Politi would work out and they would be married forever. Well, as it turns out, although they got engaged, they have decided to call it quits. Not just the wedding, but apparently the entire relationship. I'm guessing that the two months they have known each other has just not given them that rock solid bond you need to have to be married.

The reports I have read said that Geri told him she loved the relationship but didn't see herself getting married. OK, so then why break off the whole thing? That part doesn't make sense. There are a lot of people who live together and are in relationships together and don't get married. I just think her people didn't think things through very clearly when they released that version of the story. What they should have said is that she woke up one morning and realized she was engaged to a guy she met in a bar and got carried away. They remain good friends but despite all his money it wasn't enough to make him look that good because she has plenty of her own. Plus she really misses her trainer.

Martha Vickers' Daughter Is A Little Upset With Me

Somehow I have upset the family of Martha Vickers. I didn't even know that was possible considering I have never written a word about her. Apparently though I must be sending some kind of anti-Martha Vickers message that I don't know about, and now her daughter is upset at all of you and me. Of course since she doesn't have your e-mail address, I am the one who gets the letters. I'm not sure which comments she is referring to in her e-mail and Martha has never been the answer to a blind item, but somehow the daughter is still upset.

For those of you who would like to learn more about the career of Martha Vickers, you can read about her here. This is what I received from her daughter Tina. If any of you can find where mean things have been said about Martha on the site, would you please let me know so I can send her a personal note of apology. Not Martha, but Tina. Martha is deceased so it would be tough to send her a personal note of apology.

I am not quite sure who email or whatever this is...but I will tell you that I am the daughter of Martha Vickers that I have read emails about her and I will tell you all to stop talking shite about my mother......and also stop thinking that you all know about her life with AC Lyles and Mickey Rooney and please stop talking about Timmy Rooney like you think you all know him as well as you think you know my mother.....My mother Martha Vickers passed on in the 70's ....and I have several websites that actually talk and speak well of my mother and this website I must say with all the talk about Timmy....Mickey, AC Lyles....you speak not well of any of them....Speak what you want of others but do not speak ill of my mother Martha Vickers...How dare you guys chat about someone you do not know and assume!. and talk about Timmy....my brother Teddy's brother, and you all never knew him....stop it....

Chris Brown's Pastor Must Have Been In The Bar

I'm tired of writing about Chris Brown and Rihanna. I'm really tired of it, but when I read ridiculous self serving statements that are so full of crap I just have to talk about it. I just can't let it slide.

Apparently this whole kick Chris Brown out of the Kid's Choice Awards is gaining momentum. Nickelodeon still isn't going to remove him from the ballot and says it is up to the kids whether or not they want to vote for Chris. Yeah, just like it was random that Britney won so many awards at the Video Music Awards. Whatever. I'm not going to argue about that. What I will say is that, People asked Nickelodeon if Chris was scheduled to appear and they said he was never scheduled to attend. Raise your hand if you believe that one. Please. Both he and Rihanna would have gone. Celebrities do not miss that event. Ever. There is just too much money at stake.

This is the part that absolutely kills me and why I am posting about it. Chris Brown's rep says that Chris has never attempted to get votes to win the awards. WTF? Excuse me? The entire world reported and linked to his MySpace page where he asked for votes. WTF are you smoking that you can say that with a straight face?

Oh, but wait. It gets better. Do you want to know why Chris isn't going to The Kid's Choice Awards? "Chris has been hanging out with Rihanna, working on his music and spending time with and speaking with his mother and pastor." Oh sure. I think I saw his pastor and his mother at the hotel bar or with Rihanna last night when she was in a club until 4am. Oh wait. Is that the pastor on the jet skis with Chris in Miami?

Does anyone ever tell the truth? I think they know that a certain percentage of the population are idiots and they will believe whatever is told to them and will continue to buy his music and tickets and be his fans and this gives them some kind of excuse for doing so. I think he is recording all of this music with Rihanna because he knows he is going to end up killing her and wants to make money off her long after she is dead.

Hayden Panettiere Is Losing It

I will say that it is nice to write about something other than the Chris Brown mess or Octo-mom, and so thank you for that Hayden Panettiere. It's not often that a 19 year old can be such a monster diva, with the emphasis on diva. If you have been reading the blog for a long time, you will know that I used to have a rule about never talking bad about Hayden. Obviously that changed because she changed.

What was the person who was so grateful to be given a chance to do something other than a daily soap and small parts in forgettable movies has turned into the worst combination of diva and spoiled all mixed in with the temper and temperament of her dad.

We all saw her blowup last weekend in Hawaii and now comes word that she is trying to get Milo Ventimiglia kicked off Heroes, because, gasp, he had the nerve to break up with her. Umm, Hayden. If you hadn't noticed, everyone breaks up with you. No one can stand being around you for that long anymore. You know why and everyone around you knows why. I'm not going to discuss it here, because I do still have respect for some of the people close to you who would be ticked off at me if I said it here.

What Hayden wants is to rule the Heroes roost for the final season it is on the air, or get kicked off the show herself. She is going to be a big movie star and she thinks that Chris Columbus movie coming out this summer is going to make her a huge movie star. This is less about getting Milo kicked off the show as it is making everyone around her uncomfortable so they say bye bye to Hayden, like Katherine Heigl wants everyone to say goodbye to her. Hayden may get her wish.

This actress is C list now. Back in the day she was probably a B lister with some very famous boyfriends who were A listers when they dated. Our actress was also around for one of the most famous moments in Hollywood history. You might think she is old from the description I've given, but she's not. She just has been acting a long time and it is taking a toll. How big of a toll? Well our actress has multiple movies coming out in which she is actually the female lead in two of them. The movies need press, but she can't do it. She is on so many different kinds of pills right now that she doesn't know if she is coming or going and barely can utter a coherent sentence that is not memorized in advance. The producers of the first movie she has scheduled to come out and have already given up trying to get her to promote it and instead have come up with gimmicks. The producers of the second movie want to get her into rehab, but she just wants to be left alone to live her life as she pleases. These movies represented her comeback, but it doesn't look like it will last for long at this rate.

Guess What? Phish Fans Use Drugs

I know the headline must come as a shock. I mean who would ever believe that a fan of the group Phish would ever use drugs? When I think of Phish fans, they are right on par with The Jonas Brothers right? Yeah, I didn't think you would buy into that. When Phish announced they were going to be reuniting for some shows in Hampton, Virginia, I think I posted that the area might not be the most Phish friendly area they could have chosen.

It turns out, this assumption was correct. The Hampton police along with 8 other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies were out in force during the concerts. There were over 200 law enforcement officers who were out in force and their goal seemed to be as many drug arrests as possible. How many you ask? 194 people arrested with 245 different charges in just three nights. The drugs confiscated consisted of pot, coke, mushrooms and pain killers. I'm still trying to figure out the pain killers one.

The total street value of the drugs was $1.2M which works out to about $6K worth of drugs on each person. I'm thinking next time, Phish fans might want the group to play in say, the Nevada desert, or the Pacific Northwest.

5 Years Of Marriage To Anne Heche Is Worth $1.2M

I'm trying to think if I could suffer through five years of marriage to Anne Heche for $1.2M. It depends on how much I could drink I guess. Anne Heche and her former husband Coley Laffoon finally settled on how much money Anne was going to have to pay to make the whole thing come to an end. Coley gets a $500,000 lump sum payment and another $700K which is his share of the community property. Anne gets to keep her multi-million dollar house which she will probably lose in her next divorce. No, I'm not hoping she will get divorced, I just know the odds are really, really good. Of course she needs to get married for that to happen, and I don't think he current boyfriend is any rush to make that happen.

In what was a surprise to me, Coley and Anne did agree to a 50/50 custody for their 7 year old son Homer. I think Homer had been living with Coley full-time during this entire proceeding and despite the 50/50 custody arrangement, I'm guessing that Anne probably is not going to get 50/50 when it comes to visitation. Would you want to spend 50% of the time with Anne? Of course we don't know what Homer thinks about it. He might really want to spend that much time with her.

That's Just Weird

Rosario Dawson was doing some press for her new film Explicit and somehow she and FOX News started talking about children. They probably asked her if she intended on having any, but at some point the conversation turned into how she would discipline her children. Apparently she is not in the spanking category or the put them into timeout category either. No, Rosario has a unique way of punishing that she says her mother did to her and she thinks works great. She is going to lick them. Umm. Yeah.

"I think licking is a really great way of disciplining your child. It's definitely a lot better than screaming at them. My mom did it to me for punishment, she loves to say that I came [from her] so she can do anything that she wants to me in public. If I was acting out or talking up or just being a precocious child as I was she would lick me and my face in front of all her friends."

I admit that anything is better than screaming at your child, but I am trying to picture adults all over the world licking their children and the only ones I can think of who would enjoy doing that is Joe Simpson. He is probably kicking himself that he didn't think of this punishment. Can you ever see yourself doing this?

She has got to be kidding right? I'm trying to imagine a child in a grocery store line yelling at their parents to buy candy and having mom or dad reach over and lick their face. I think the only way it would work is if their parent didn't brush their teeth regularly or was a smoker.

The Bachelor Must Hate Dancing With The Stars

By next week, I think the whole Bachelor episode would have faded from our collective consciousness. The 24 hour news cycle really wouldn't have allowed it to continue as we would have moved on to other news. Unfortunately for Jason Mesnick, Nancy O'Dell dropped out of Dancing With The Stars, and ABC made the brilliant move to bring on Melissa Rycroft as her replacement. Brilliant for ABC and for ratings, and devastating for the tool known as Jason Mesnick. Now, for as long as Melissa continues to remain on the show, and judging by her performance last night and her popularity with viewers that could be a very long run, Jason Mesnick will have to relive his tool behavior repeatedly each week over the course of the show.

Take for example a review of Melissa's performance yesterday from People. They didn't even bother talking about her scores until the last paragraph. Instead they lead with the fact that she had been screwed over by Jason. Every week, the world will be reminded what an a-hole he is. Thanks ABC.

Who Is Getting The Octomom Checks?

With Nadya Suleman basically selling any piece of herself or her children that she can, I'm wondering where all the money is going. I thought it was going to the new house she is moving into this week, but it turns out her dad is the one buying the house. Ummm, isn't this the same dad who had no money at all and was going to have to go to Iraq to make enough to help care for the kids? So, how is it that dad has all of this money now? How is it that dad could come up with the scratch for a $600K home with no job and no money in his pocket a few months ago?

I'm thinking that maybe dad is the one who is getting the checks for what Nadya is selling. Now a news organization can say they didn't pay Nadya anything for her story. We obviously know she is getting something or she wouldn't be doing it, but maybe the checks are payable to dad. If the checks are payable to dad, then Nadya can still collect disability, food stamps, free medical insurance from the state, and welfare. If the money were paid directly to Nadya, all of that would vanish in a second and the state might even try and get back some of the money they spent.

Now though, the news people are happy because they can tell the truth. Daddy is happy because he doesn't have to go to Iraq, and Nadya is happy because she can keep scamming the government and keep getting the attention.

A Summary Of The Chris Brown Mess

Last week this all seemed so simple. Chris Brown beat the crap out of Rihanna and should go to jail. Pretty simple actually. I like simple. When you start messing with simple then people invariably start getting screwed, and it all starts to make less and less sense.

First of all we had Rihanna deciding to take back Chris' sorry ass. She did so in a very public manner and seems to be the only member of her family other than her greedy dad who thinks it is a good idea. They reunited at Diddy's place, but Diddly Piddly swears that he had no idea Chris was going to use his place for that and thought Chris and his mother were going to have a spiritual retreat. This of course is the same Diddy who had no idea that his assistant had a gun. Piddly has certainly learned how to plead ignorance.

From there we have Usher who blasted Chris Brown and then apologized for it. The reason? Apparently Chris threatened Usher and said that in the future those kinds of statements would make it awkward for them to work together. Ummm. Who cares? Why should Usher need Chris? I still don't know who blackmailed Usher but I want to hear that story someday.

Then, Ciara decides that she never wants to work with Chris Brown again and says so. The very next day her manager says Ciara was misunderstood and that she and Chris will have a duet on her next album and that she loves the idea of working with Chris. The kid is f**king 19 years old. You can find another star. Stars are replaceable. So, I'm wondering if there is someone who knows all the secrets who is pulling the strings. The only people not scared to speak out are Oprah and Donald Trump. Hopefully others will also speak out in the weeks to come.

So, today comes the story from TMZ that the texter which set Rihanna off is none other than Tina Davis. Who is Tina Davis? Tina is Chris' manager. She is 40 years old and allegedly they started having sex together when she was 37 and he was 16. They both deny ever having sex, BUT, in Rihanna's statement to detectives she says they did, and do, and that was why she got so upset.

Oh, and this doesn't even include the marriage rumor, the pregnancy rumor or the fact that Chris only spent $50,000 on a ring like he could buy her off for that. Oh, and that they are recording together right now and are going to be at The Kid's Choice Awards together and that when she wins the award is going to thank Chris for being there for her. You watch. If she wins, she will thank him, and then we can all go and get ourselves drunk and give up on her ever having a life.

Thanks For The Gossip Mischa Barton

If it weren't for Mischa Barton posting in her blog, I don't think there would ever be any actual Mischa Barton gossip reported anywhere. Mischa cracks me up. She says that as soon as she got back to London after Fashion Week, she broke up with her boyfriend Luke. She just wanted to blog about it so we would hear about it from her before we heard it from anyone else. Honestly Mischa, I doubt we would have heard, because no one really cares.

Oh sure, your 32 fans who constantly comment on your site care. But, the only reason they care is because their countries are just now showing The OC, so they think you are a big star and not some Viking Quest has been.

Mischa assures us there was no cheating or anything. Why would we think that Mischa? Something you want to tell us? Some rumor we are going to hear? What about Luke cheating on you all of the time and making you look foolish? That didn't enter into your decision? From what I understand this relationship ended a long time ago. It isn't like the two of you have been hanging out a lot together. Sure, you might have taken the time when you were in London to go pick up your stash from his house, but I doubt you were surprised to find that he was entertaining someone when you went over there.

I'm sorry it didn't work out, but maybe if you dated guys for anything other than publicity reasons it might work out better for you.

A Beating Is A Beating Right?

When I read about Real Housewives Of New York City star Kelly Bensimon getting arrested for punching her boyfriend I was prepared to go off on her. I mean we all deservedly went off on Chris Brown and so I thought fair is fair. The problem is that I'm not sure I believe Kelly's boyfriend. Oh, I believe he got hit, but I'm not sure it was by Kelly, or that she did it on purpose.

Am I not believing him because he was hit by a woman, or am I not believing him because he seems like a jerk? I think more of the latter. I mean a woman can maim. Just ask Tampa Bay linebacker Geno Hayes who got stabbed in the head and neck over the weekend by his girlfriend. She not only used a pair of scissors, but also a knife. She deserves to go to jail for a very long time.

The problem with Nicholas Stefanov is that he comes across like a slimy attention whore and so you have to take everything he says with a grain of salt. Her lawyers say she dumped Nicholas and he was upset about it because he wouldn't be getting any more attention. He then made up the entire story so that he could get back at her.

Nicholas for his part says that he and Kelly were arguing about things that couples argue about and she sucker punched him when he wasn't ready for it. He did say she took off her engagement ring first which he appreciated. Ummm. If she took off the ring then how was it a sucker punch? Also, her lawyer says they were never engaged. Whatever. He waited until after it happened to call the cops because she didn't turn herself in for two days. The whole thing just seems fishy so I am going to go ahead and take her side in this one...for now.

Uh oh. It's decision time. What will our A-/B+ movie actor do? Will he choose the barely a celebrity friend or will he choose his A list actress friend? While the barely a celebrity celebrity friend doesn't mind sharing, it seems that our A list actress does. She doesn't want the bad publicity that the barely a celebrity friend brings and have it damage her A list career or squeaky clean image. Oh, and she especially doesn't want to have to answer questions or be ridiculed if certain pictures ever see the light of day.

How Was Your Weekend? Jamie Kennedy, Mena Suvari & My Dad

When my dad read in the newspaper that Gran Torino was probably going to be the last time Clint Eastwood appeared in a movie as an actor, he felt he needed to see the movie in an actual theatre and not wait for it to come to DVD. He felt he owed Clint. How he owes anything to a man he has never met is beyond me, but you don’t ask the old man that because then you get an hour long lecture on how they don’t make real movies anymore which leads to a discussion about quality and why it is a sin to ever pay more than $5 for a meal.

So, because Clint is a man’s man that meant that dad and I were going to have to bond and see this movie together. Anytime I see a movie with my dad I need a buffer. If it's just me with him then he talks or makes comments throughout the entire movie, and does it at a volume which seems appropriate for him, but annoys people 30 rows away. For some reason though, he doesn’t ever utter a word when there is someone else present. Who to call? No, not FW. Instead I called my dad’s favorite ex-wife of mine, Carli.

Gran Torino has moved out of the big theatres here. It went to what I like to call the dollar movie theatre at full theatre prices also known as the Beverly Center. Tiny theatres, older movies, but you still get to pay full prices. Also, unlike Arc Light, they don’t have a bar. I was going to need a bar. Lucky for me, there is a bar in the Beverly Center with huge television screens and a knack for serving really strong drinks to guys while their significant others stimulate the economy.

The movie started at 740p on Saturday. The mistake was agreeing to meet Carli at 7p because it was too long for just one drink. It was however, as we discovered just the right amount of time for three drinks. At the three drink point, my dad wants to go out. Forget the movie. He wants to party. When he is at home in that condition, my mom simply reminds him that he is in boxers and a t-shirt and so he slumps back into his recliner and his television. Outside of the confines of the house though, he wants to party. Carli of course loves this idea which is why she was my dad’s favorite. I of course would rather just sit there and drink until last call which, in this bar is about 9pm. Seriously.

Carli gets on the phone and the next thing you know we are going to meet some people at The Improv to see Jamie Kennedy. It starts at 9:30. I had imagined myself being home, alone on my futon not much past 9:30, but my dad was having a good time so I couldn’t deny the guy his fun. So off we went. Of course my dad decided he would much rather ride with Carli than me. So, there I was cruising the streets of Hollywood on a Saturday night in the family mini-van, while Carli was driving my dad around in a new car paid for by my alimony checks. Good times.

As soon as we get inside, one of the people who was with out group points out Mena Suvari. Why Mena decided that she and two of her girlfriends needed to spend their Saturday night watching Jamie Kennedy is beyond me, but there you go. Of course my dad has no idea who Mena is until you remind him about American Beauty. The next thing you know he is tucking in his shirt and slicking back the four hairs on his head like she is going to run away with him.

I have to say that Mena was a bit standoffish at first. Of course it could be that my dad, upon hearing it was Mena and reminded of American Beauty, basically yelled, “you mean the chick who gets naked in the roses?” Nice way to make a good impression, and probably the reason when I attempted to be smooth and make amends, she smirked and turned away. Ouch.

Aaah, but little did Mena know that we would soon have our revenge. Being the only celebrity there, Mena was given the best seat in the house. Unfortunately for Mena, Carli knows everyone everywhere and so we got the second best seats in the house. Right next to Mena. For the next two hours, Mena was subjected to a full onslaught of flirting and attention from my 85 year old father. Whether it was his natural charms or the four drinks she consumed, Mena really started warming to the old man. Of course it could also be that Jamie Kennedy being about as unfunny as his rap career gave lots of people time to chat and catch up on world events.

By the time the show mercifully ended, I actually thought my dad was going to get Mena’s phone number. Alas, I think he realized that mom probably wouldn’t understand, and he would be forced down into the basement to share my futon. Mena did agree to take a photo with the old man after the show and she even answered a few questions from me.

For those of you who are curious, she says she is still engaged. She also said she shaved her head for a movie but has no idea if the movie will ever be released. I also got the feeling she has never read any gossip site ever. Her two friends didn’t appear to say anything all night, and I’m wondering if she just keeps them around so she doesn’t have to go places by herself. Anyway, what was going to be a post about how mean she was at the beginning of the night turned into a love fest post for the way she treated my dad. So, thanks Mena.

Octo Mom Pregnant By Chris Brown

No, not really, but it seems that the entire gossip world is focused on the two of them so I just thought I would put the news about them in one post so as to get over with all at once.

The only Octo-mom news over the weekend was that she lost another publicist who called Octo-Mom greedy and nuts. Before he could say anything else though he wanted to talk to his attorney about the confidentiality agreement he had signed. Ummm. Did he sign one for himself or is Octo-Mom running such a well oiled machine that she had confidentiality agreements generated for everyone with whom she works? Do you know how nuts and how greedy she must be for a guy to walk away from guaranteed money like that? I mean, I'm pretty sure he went into this whole thing knowing she wasn't exactly wholesome and innocent in all of this so she must have done something truly awful to get him to walk away. Maybe she was going to sell naming rights to the kids.

In Chris Brown news, the only thing really worth mentioning is that Oprah told Rihanna that Chris Brown would keep beating her and that she should walk away. Nickelodeon also says that they are going to keep Chris on the ballot for the awards and are not going to change their rules. It will be very interesting to see if Rihanna and Chris show up together for the show.

Look Out For Flying Phones

I guess we can all understand now why Naomi Campbell didn't really care if she was seen with other guys when she was supposedly dating only her Russian billionaire boyfriend. As I revealed in January, Naomi has not really been shy about being with other people even while dating Vladislav Doronin.

Well, now it turns out he probably didn't care because he is married. You would think that it wouldn't take a News Of The World investigation to turn up the fact that a billionaire is married with a 12 year old kid, but it did. Had he never been seen in public before he started dating Naomi? I'm sure he wasn't probably in the papers everyday before then, but it would seem to me you would probably attract some public attention on the way to accumulating a billion dollars. You don't usually make that kind of money delivering newspapers or cutting coupons. People tend to notice if you have a billion dollars.

Well, it turns out that he has been married for 21 years, and isn't even separated. His wife has said, "This is just a ridiculous affair. Vladislav is married to me and we are still a couple. Naomi is deluding herself if she thinks she can take my husband." His wife did add that she is embarrassed by the whole thing and that kids at school tease her daughter.

The couple have been together since she turned 16 years old.

Are All Her Other Dogs Dead? An Open Letter To Doug Reinhardt

Dear Doug,

I know that reading may not be your strong suit, and so if you need someone to help you with the big words, I'm sure you and Paris can sound them out together. I don't mean to be rude, but you not being able to read is the only reasonable assumption a person can make when they see what you got your girlfriend Paris Hilton for her birthday.

Paris told the world that you got her a baby teacup Pomeranian for her birthday. Umm, Doug. Paris has at last count about 42 dogs who after making an initial appearance are never seen from or heard from again. I'm sure when you have been over to her place, you may have noticed the odd smell emanating from her home. You probably thought it was some kind of herpes medication that smells really bad. My guess is that it is the remains of long forgotten dogs and the wasting flesh of old boyfriends from whom Paris has ripped out their souls.

I will say that you and Paris make a nice match and totally deserve each other. She is using you and you are using her so at least you have that in common. I'm glad Amanda Bynes discovered what a tool you were so quickly into your relationship. Her acting career may be in the tank, but at least she still has enough self respect to kick you to the curb. Oh, I'm sure you thought you would play that relationship out and get the publicity and attention you crave so desperately, but all you got was negativity.

Now of course you think you have stumbled upon a goldmine because of all the publicity Paris gets. Have you noticed that it isn't very good publicity? Have you noticed that people laugh at you and mock you? Have you noticed that people try and keep a safe, non disease catching 3 feet away from you at all times now? Have you seen the dog you got her since the day you gave it to her? Have you seen your soul lately? How about your doctor?

Melrose Place Is Doomed

Usually producers worry about stunt casting when they need a little boost to the ratings. They don't generally start with it at the outset of a television series that will get big ratings initially. I'm at a loss to explain any other reason why the producers of Melrose Place have cast Ashlee Simpson in a starring role on the new show. I don't know who owes whom or who has pictures of someone, but Ashlee is not the first person I think of when the word actress comes to mind.

Oh sure, she was on 7th Heaven and so you are saying she has experience and she must be good. Need I remind you that Jessica Biel and Haylie Duff were also on the show. Let me take that back. I actually think Haylie Duff would be good on Melrose. I don't share the same opinion about Ashlee being on the show. The only reason I can think of to have her on the show is to attract viewers and her husband, and not because she is any great shakes as an actress.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the description of Ashlee's character is a person with, "disarming naiveté [that] masks the calculating, shrewd sex kitten within." Uh huh. Let me know when Ashlee figures out what naiveté means. I really had high hopes for this show. After the mostly painful disappointment of 90210, I was hoping the producers would make more of an effort in their casting.

Of course they could just be signing her up for a quick death also. I mean you need those season ending cliffhangers. Maybe Dr. Kimberly Shaw could make an appearance and kill Ashlee. That would be good television, and make for a much better season the next year. The only thing that could possibly make this better is if they cast Jessica Simpson as her mother.

Jade Goody Faces Off Against A Woman With A Hammer

Jade Goody is obviously going through a lot right now. She knows she only has a few weeks to live, but apparently that is not fast enough for a woman in London. A 41 year old woman broke into the hospital room of Jade yesterday and she was carrying a hammer with which she used to threaten Jade.

Jade's husband had just gone to the cafeteria to get something when the woman slipped in and approached Jade. Jade had been sleeping but woke up when the woman was standing right over the bed with the hammer. Jade wasn't hurt.

WTF? I'm wondering if this woman was mad at Jade or trying to put her out of her misery, but if I am the hospital I would have had lots of security around Jade to prevent anything like this happening. Everyone in the UK knows where Jade is staying and the last thing the hospital wants is publicity like this which will stick around forever. "Oh yeah, isn't that the hospital that let in the woman with the hammer who tried to kill Jade? I don't want to go there."

When Jade managed to ring for the nurse, the woman ran out of the room. She was later caught by the police. Oh, but this is the kicker. You want to know what happened to the woman? I don't think you will believe this one. The cops let her go. They didn't charge her with anything. Since when is it not a crime to go into the hospital room of someone with a hammer and stand over them? They arrested her for having a deadly weapon, but the London version of a district attorney said the charge wouldn't stick so they let her go.

Great. So besides knowing you are going to die in the next few weeks you have to worry about a woman with a hammer coming back into your room because the police wouldn't do anything.

Hayden Panettiere Has A Meltdown

Hayden Panettiere may only be 19 years old but she has certainly moved her way up the entitlement rankings very quickly. This past weekend she had her second biggest red carpet hissy fit. Her first of course was when she threatened to kill an US Weekly reporter after they had reported on her breakup with that guy Stephen from Laguna Beach. I'm guessing she gets her temper from her dad which doesn't bode well for any of Hayden's future relationships.

This time, Hayden was at a charity event in Hawaii. First of all, how can you ever get upset with anyone if you are on vacation in Hawaii. Sure, if you live there, you are going to lose your temper from time to time, because hey, it is where you live and so the whole day to day life stress, but vacation? Forget about it. Plus, I'm sure the charity, in this case, the Rehabilitation Hospital Of The Pacific probably paid a great deal to have Hayden attend the event and say good things about them and generate a lot of positive publicity. Instead they got a surly teenager who who screamed and yelled at photographers and reporters while walking the red carpet.

When Hayden arrived she yelled at the photographers to back up and then posed briefly as evidenced by the photo above. After about 30 seconds she started walking in and blowing by all the reporters. When Hayden paused for a second, one of the local Hawaii reporters, touched her on the shoulder and asked if they could have a word with her. Hayden turned around, and screamed, "Don't you ever touch me!"

I think it is apparent why she and Milo broke up. Hayden then turned to the press handler and basically made it clear there were not supposed to be any interviews at all with her. She did it in a very smart ass rhetorical way, but it was clear that Hayden was ticked off that someone even asked. To make it all complete, Hayden then walked up to all the rest of the reporters and said, "You all make my life miserable."

To me, reporters have generally been very nice when dealing with Hayden. Her, dad? Not so much. According to US Weekly, Hayden then spent the next hour in a private cabana with Justin Long and his brother and probably complained about how the press assaulted her.

I'm sure the hospital just loves hearing all about how wonderfully behaved Hayden was and I'm sure they will invited her back next year. The purpose of these events is to raise money. You invited the stars in hopes they will attract the press. The stars then, in return for their fee, speak to the press and talk about what a wonderful organization the hospital is even if they have never heard of it. It is the way it works and I'm guessing there won't be anymore free trips to Hawaii for awhile in Hayden's future.

Which pop diva just got her second boob job? Bet you didn’t know about the first one, either - it’s that good, and that out of character.
