Five For Friday

This B list television actress on a very hit network drama has A list name recognition. She was paid to be at an event for two consecutive weekends for teens and was expected to be a good example for those in attendance. Strict? Yeah, but she was getting paid big bucks and could have skipped it if she didn't want to follow the rules. She chain-smoked her way through the thing, refusing to do most of the stuff she was being paid to do. (this included an argument over her check which she opened up and argued through most of a show she was in the audience for. Apparently she thought she was being paid less than what had been agreed on.)Don't ask me why the check didn't go straight to her agent, but I wonder if she did this on her own without coughing up the 10%.

She didn't want to do opening remarks for a C list male R&B singer with one huge monster hit, and not much else because she thought his people were "ogling her too much" She lied about her age and drank two bottles of wine the first night and ended up drunk off her ass with people pushing her in the right direction of where to go and what to do. If any of the audience tried for an autograph or picture of her while she was walking around, she would put up her hand to block her face and ignore them. These same kids that paid to be at an event she was HOSTING.

Her first weekend there she was with her family. The next weekend, she brought her friends, including this D list movie actor who was in one of the biggest franchise movies of all-time and has really done nothing since, and looked like he was on crack the entire night. She was required to get approval for her outfits beforehand and when the event organizers came to check on it, she ignored them.

On the other hand, this annoying female A list singer (for now), but probably just a one year wonder who we will hopefully never hear from again was headlining the event, was sweet and appreciative. There was bad blood between her and our hostess because they apparently got into it over this A list movie actor who starred in a failing television show before starring in one of the biggest movies of all-time. Our A list singer refused to be drawn into an argument while our hostess tried to bring it up several times by telling everyone that she was dating the A list actor now and that it was a secret. Uh huh. He does so much better than her.

I think Bill Clinton is asking Adrian Grenier if he has ever hooked up with Jessica Alba.
I need Harold & Kumar again.

Kendra Wilkinson seems to have her face locked in that position. Must make talking difficult.

Your Turn

We did this topic a few months ago, and it is one of the very few I would bother repeating, just because I think answers change, more people come to the site, and it gets everyone in a damn good mood before the weekend. It is probably my favorite topic to discuss with people other than if you could only have one order of french fries ever for the rest of your life, from where would you order them? That isn't the question today, although you are free to answer it as well.

The reason I specifically brought the topic back is because the last time I spoke to someone about it, they told me that there is such a thing as shame Karaoke. Apparently this is not where failed American Idol contestants go to sing songs by Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, but rather where one gets up in front of a crowd of people and sings those songs that you love so damn much but don't want anyone to know.

For example. I know all of you love Wilson Phillips. Don't deny that. Yeah, you might be the biggest damn Kanye fan in the world or think Metallica is the second coming, but when you hear "Hold On" you turn up the radio. Don't lie.

So, please list all of those secret songs you are afraid to admit you love. Also, feel free to link to YouTube so that everyone can click back and forth all weekend.

Ted C Blind Item

Judas Jack-Off may not be Toothy Tile's only homo closeted contender for barely concealed, borderline same-sex man activity here in H-town. And I don't mean Crotch Uh-Lastic (who's getting a bit bored with all that water-sport play-acting, I hear).

Nope, I'm talkin' somebody else, somebody younger, somebody who's now a fabulous repeat Blind Vice offender! Do you remember…

Crescent Kumquat, the absolutely beautiful dude whose sexuality seems to be as up in the air as is his career?

See, last time we met C.K., the mainstream hottie had a dirty little habit of waking up after nights out in his male "friends' " beds, instead of with the girls he would occasionally bring home. But we never heard of much more than just some heavy petting going on—cuddling, spooning, real Taylor Lautner kinda stuff—which you can usually blame on the alc.

Well, Kumquat has taken it to the next level. Good bad boy!

Very PG folks, but telling nonetheless. C.K. has been caught getting hot and heavy, jamming his tongue down—way, way down—myriad willing dude's throat around when he parties privately. And I don't mean the bedroom, either. Out in the open, in the friggin' living, dining and family rooms of these get-togethers!

That said, C.K.'s no John Mayer and out in the open about it (relatively speaking). Cres-babe's still in the "experimental phase," I'm told, and he's attempting to keep it all at least somewhat private, but we know where this kinda secret-party fooling around usually leads. To this very blolumn for more installments!

Also, an important thing to note is that C.K. isn't publicly playing the bearded card (like most of this closeted celeb group does). We hardly ever see this amazingly pretty guy with girls. Like ever. And it's superweird, too, 'cause Kum could have loads of babes with his heartthrob status rising—or leveled out, at least.

If Crescent's mediocre talent and hot looks keep getting him better gigs, we bet a fauxmance will follow, no question.

And It Ain't: John Mayer, Corbin Bleu, Taylor Kitsch

Mooshki - Movie Review - Star Trek


Since this screening was so early, they don’t want us to say much about it, so I’ll sum it up in three words: SO FREAKING GOOD!!! Okay, maybe a few more.

I was worried from the previews and commercials that it was going to be too much of an action movie. It wasn’t. There was humor, drama, romance, and yes, plenty of action with great special effects. Some of the group I was with were Star Trek fans and some weren’t, but everyone seemed to enjoy it equally. There’s some stuff guaranteed to piss off the hard-core Trekkies, but I thought they did a great job of staying true to the “heart and soul” of the series, including a couple of logical implausibilities, without which you wouldn’t really have a Star Trek plot. Even so, since this is a semi-reboot, you don’t need to have any prior Star Trek knowledge to get the movie.

As someone said afterward, “this is a much prettier cast.” It’s also a very talented cast, and they really captured the original characters while taking them in a new direction. And, sorry Shatner, but I can’t imagine any actor I would rather have had in this film than Leonard Nimoy. He was wonderful. And, although I’m a big fan of most of these actors and think they were all very good, (even Winona Ryder wasn’t that annoying!) Zachary Quinto was the star of the movie for me. Go Spock(s)!

Aaargh, there are so many things I want to say about the story, but I can’t. One funny thing -- J.J. Abrams pulled a certain concept straight out of Alias and plopped it right in the middle of his Star Trek movie. My friend found it distracting, but I was very amused.

I can’t wait for this to be released – I want to see it again NOW! Preferably on an IMAX screen. And I really hope they signed every single one of the actors to a multi-film contract. DN Scale: Well worth your ten bucks, maybe even a couple of times. Thanks so much to Vita.mn for the special screening!

Today's Blind Items

This actor is C list. He probably used to be B list. Not a very recognizable name, but you would definitely know the face. He has done a mixture of both television and movies. Every few years he gets a really great lead in a movie or television show, but nothing long lasting. He got his big break and the lead in his first movie because he blackmailed the producer of the movie, who was also an actor in the same movie and has a good guy reputation. The blackmail in question consisted of some photos our actor had taken at the party of the good guy producer/actor snorting coke. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but this producer/actor's entire career is based around his good guy reputation.

Random Photos Part One ***Warning*** One Disturbing Photo

They almost look like twins so an effort like that deserves the top spot for Alan Cumming and Christian Siriano.
The Gossip Girl cast member who is never mentioned anywhere is Amanda Setton. You always see the photos of everyone else from the cast, but rarely one of her. So, today Amanda, the spotlight is yours, at least until the Chace Crawford picture later. You look lovely.
Brad Pitt filming a Japanese bank commercial.
Which is being directed by Spike Jonze.
Not only is Brandon Davis greasy, he apparently needs to check in with his dealer even when roller skating.
Chace Crawford and 50 Cent on the set of their new film.
Just friends. I wonder if Justin thinks of it like that.
This is a photo taken of a car as it intentionally tried to run over people in a parade in The Netherlands. You can see how fast it happened by looking at the policeman on either side of the accident who have not even turned at all to see what is happening.
"So, there I was, bent over in my bikini, and the next thing you know a picture of my ass is being posted all over the internet."
The very lovely Eva Mendes.
This is Gretchen Rossi from Housewives/ Orange County. Apparently she was cheating on the guy who was dying of leukemia and has his name tattooed under that ring of hers. Oh, but she is racing for charity this week so don't think poorly of her. Nice.
Jennifer Garner looks much better than yesterday in this photo.
Hell, Jane Krakowski looks so good, she even got Michael Kors to smile.
Hmmm. Which one of these two came out today? Yeah, it was Kelly McGillis. I wonder if this photo will ever be 2 for 2?
And then hopefully they all fell down.
Lance Bass and Emmanuelle Chriqui at a charity benefit. I wouldn't mind some charity from her. Oh, she was just contributing her time. Well, I would accept that as well.
And Ali Lohan still isn't in school.
I'm glad to see that Sasha's visit to the hospital was short and that he is back at home with dad, Liev Schreiber.
It is always good to see Nick Verreos.
Pink, filming a T-Mobile commercial in London. It doesn't look like they had a hard time finding people who wanted to be in it. Of course she did it outside in Trafalgar Square during the middle of the day which helps.
One thing about expecting twins from a surrogate is no weight gain. She could go a size higher on those jeans though.
Sharon Stone has had a bunch of work done lately. She does seem to have a good surgeon though.
For an electric car, Tesla makes them look very cool.
And a 14 year old Danish kid has started calling himself Tilda Swinton. Oh, wait. Oh, it is her. My bad. I love her as an actress, but she makes some very odd fashion and hairstyle choices.

Joe Jonas Is An Ass


I know by writing this post that my e-mail will probably be flooded by a bunch of 15 year old girls who will all think I am evil for calling their crush an ass, but I don't really care. That is why there is a delete button.

In an interview with Seventeen Magazine, Joe Jonas was asked about the song Taylor Swift wrote after their break up, and about the comments she made on Ellen about how he broke up with her in a 27 second phone call. Joe said, "It's flattering," he says. "It's always nice to hear their side of the story."

I'm sure his current girlfriend Camilla Belle was thrilled to hear his remarks, and that she can probably look forward to a similar experience at some point down the road. Of course since it appears their careers are going in opposite directions he might want to hold on for dear life and keep a paycheck close.

I understand he is a teenager, and this was a teenage relationship, but I'm also wondering if as he grows older if his attitude will mature or will it get even worse. I'm wondering maybe if it would have been a better idea to know what her side of the story was going to be when they broke up. You get the feeling from that sentence that he really didn't care at all about her and he probably doesn't care about anything else other than himself. Well, then he fits right in with Hollywood doesn't he?

And on a side note, look at the very bottom of the cover. It says that this summer 150,000 girls will get pregnant by accident. Seriously? Are they using the word girl to describe all females or will there really be 150,000 teenagers who accidentally get pregnant in the US in just a three month period? That seems very high. I'm probably naive, but doesn't it seem high to you?

Do You Believe Christina Applegate?


Let me start off by saying once again that I like Christina Applegate. That being said, I think she is probably lying in an interview she gave to People Magazine discussing the photo of her smoking a cigarette recently. She says it was a "rare slip-up." Uh huh. The photographer just got lucky huh?

"It's been very painful because I feel it was discounting all the work that I've done. The day I found out I had cancer I quit everything that was bad for me that I was putting in my body. Over the last year, with everything that's happened, there have been a couple of times that I've slipped up. That was one of those rare occasions - and of course they got the picture."

Of course they did. I guarantee you the photographers won't get another. I think she is probably still smoking but will confine it to her house or other places where there are no cameras. I would also imagine she probably would have denied she was still smoking if there was no photographer.

Smoking is tough to quit. I remember once I was visiting someone at the hospital and in the bed next to the person I was visiting, the person had a lung removed due to smoking. All of his visitors smoked, and despite the fact they were staring at someone who lost a lung to smoking, every few minutes someone would go outside and smoke.

Hugh Jackman Supports Madonna's Adoption


Hugh Jackman can probably get himself a quickie from Madonna after what he said about her, and how he fully supports her adoption of Mercy from Malawi. In an interview with The Sun, Hugh slammed the way Australia handles adoptions of children coming from any country other than Australia.

“The adoption laws in Australia are too restrictive. Of course, checks need to be made. But they had a very negative approach. It was like they were trying to discourage you."

I got the feeling from Hugh's interview that if you don't have a lot of money, power, and time that you would have a very difficult time in adopting a child from another country.

"There are 130 million orphans in the world - who is looking after them? If you are a citizen of the world, on some level they are all our responsibility. And if you have got parents who want to adopt and there are children who need a home, it seems like a no-brainer. There are not that many children in Australia who need adopting, so we looked internationally and that is what is difficult.”

Barriers and red tape were thrown up in front of them, but in the end they did manage to adopt two children.

He did save his best for last though. He said he is sickened by people who think Madonna is just doing this for a publicity stunt. Well, I am still on the fence Hugh so you might have to go ahead and be half sick. He says that “I challenge anyone who thinks you adopt a kid for a publicity stunt. Any parent knows that would have to be the most intensive publicity stunt in the world. I am sure she is coming from a good place.”

Well, I'm sure she will kiss you for that and probably more if you want it. I understand what he is saying and I would agree with him 99% of the time in regards to most people, but this is Madonna and so I am still not 100% convinced. Time will tell.

LeAnn Rimes Loves Making Out In Restaurants


In an attempt to prove to the world that LeAnn Rimes is hot for her husband she decided to make out with him in public, at a restaurant for about 90 minutes and made sure photographers knew she was there. Do you blame her? I think we can all be assured it was a setup for the cameras, but at least she is making the effort. I wonder if she was making the effort more for herself or more for her husband? They have a very odd relationship as it is, and she is definitely the one in charge. I think that happens when you make the bucks and your husband is employed by you and you had to sue your parents because they stole from you. It makes you tough at an early age. At the same time, I think they both know some secrets about each other they would prefer to keep quiet, and so they stick together. Now, they just want the world to know they are sticking together.

Alison Iraheta Has Already Won $50,000 And A Record Deal


According to one of my Espacio Terra which is one of my favorite sites, Alison Iraheta of American Idol has already won a similar contest to American Idol. Two years ago she competed on the Telemundo show "I Want To Be An Artist," and walked away with the top prize of $50,000 and a record deal.

The writer for Espacio Terra could not determine whether an album was released, but I'm guessing Alison got her $50,000 though. I'm not even sure what the rules are on Idol anymore about having previous record deals and winning televised contests. It seems lately like there have been several contestants with record label pasts and nothing has been done so this doesn't seem to be much different.

It is strange that no one has mentioned until now, especially Alison. As I have said before I don't really watch the show but she does seem to have at least changed her look, if not her singing style.

Below is her winning appearance on the Telemundo show.

One Week Of Octo-Mom News In One Paragraph


In the past week Nadya Suleman has said she wanted to get a pot bellied pig or some kind of dog. PETA pleaded with her not to because they feared for the life of the animal. Instead, they offered to have Pamela Anderson come over so they could do some lap dances together, and practice using stripper poles. Why? Well, according to In Touch, Nadya worked as a stripper for a year and used the stage name Angelina. I know, I know. She says it is all lies and plans on suing. Uh huh. Finally, yesterday Nadya was paid a visit by Child Protective Services and the cops because one of her kids went to school with bite marks and a black eye. Nadya says the kid is autistic and runs into things and the other kids love to bite. Uh huh. Everyone went away happy except the poor kid with the black eye and bite marks.

Empire Magazine Reunites The Goonies


Empire Magazine is having their 20th anniversary, and decided that what the world needs now is not love sweet love, but instead The Goonies. Usually when the cast is reunited there are some pictures and some words in a magazine. This time however, the cast was taped and below you is over 5 minutes of Goonies fun. Really, it just doesn't get much better than a Goonies reunion.

Will It Be Lane Garrison Or John Mayer For Jessica Simpson?


Although Jessica Simpson didn't actually go pick up Lane Garrison when he got out of jail yesterday morning, she and her parents did throw him a welcome home party yesterday afternoon before he went and checked into a rehab facility. He will be staying at the rehab facility for five months in an attempt to reduce the amount of time he has to serve on parole. I would imagine, but am not sure that he is probably sober after spending that long in jail, but I can also understand his desire to end his parole more quickly. Plus, they would probably let him out whenever Jessica needs a photo opportunity and a date.

I'm pretty convinced the whole thing with Tony Romo is over and has been over for awhile. I think there were some last gasp attempts to keep it together. (KIT) There could have also been some ex-sex, but they haven't really seemed into each other in a long time.

There were reports from X17 yesterday that Jessica Simpson and John Mayer had lunch together last week. As close as John and Pete and Ashlee are, you know that he knows what is going on with Jessica and if he is addicted to being a fame whore, there probably is not a better person other than Jennifer Aniston to date if you want your photo and your name out in the tabloids. Plus, since Pete invites him to all the family stuff anyway, it would probably make things less awkward if he were still sleeping with Jessica and not just sharing the stories with the crowd.

"You're So Hot"


With those three words, John Edwards apparently decided to cheat on his wife. At least that is the way he told Elizabeth Edwards it happened. Of course he also told her it only happened once and he probably also told her that he isn't the father of Rielle Hunter's baby and that the reception must have been bad and that's why he didn't hear the cell phone ring.

The long awaited book from Elizabeth Edwards is coming out on May 12th and as expected she does talk about the affair. She says Edwards told her right after he announced he was running for President and about a year before The Enquirer broke the story. She told him he shouldn't run and of course he didn't listen.

He must have been seeing Rielle Hunter for a very long time, but apparently despite Elizabeth crying, screaming and throwing up when she heard the news, she seems to have forgiven him. Is it because of the kids? Isn't he still seeing Rielle? How can she keep putting up with it? Maybe she thinks he sees her just because of the baby. Nowhere in the book does she talk about who the father of the baby is. To me, that means it is John Edwards' baby. If it wasn't, don;t you think she would say? Just to make that story die.

One of the reasons she has forgiven him is that, "I lie in bed, circles under my eyes, my sparse hair sticking in too many directions, and he looks at me as if I am the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. It matters." Yeah, I guess, but is he looking at Rielle and every other woman the same way also? He is a politician. He makes everyone feel good. It was his job. No one wants to vote for someone who makes them feel like crap. "Hey, I know you hate me and I make you feel really awful, but I would love to have your vote." Yeah, doesn't work like that.

Today's Blind Items

This former A list always movie actress still considers herself A list even though in reality she is about D. She does have A list name recognition and was the star of one of the most famous movies of all time. Not highest grossing, just one of the most famous. Anyway, she is not known for her quiet demeanor and when she has a drink or seven can get rather nasty. Recently she got into a fight with her current boy toy and during the argument threw a glass or two or three at her toy. Well, on one of her throws she missed and hit an original Picasso she has hanging on her wall. The painting was shredded by the glass as it shattered as well as the beverage she had inside. Of course she told her insurance company it fell during a mild earthquake and landed on a glass table beneath the painting, shattering the table and damaging the painting.

Random Photos Part One

I put this photo on top because of the randomness of Christina Aguilera and Heidi Klum hanging out, but also because Heidi doesn't look anything like Heidi.
For all of you Adrien Brody fans, I thought you might like this photo of him. Didn't Polaroid say they were going to stop making film? How much of a supply is there? Is Adrien Polaroid worthy?
Amanda Peet and David Benioff are sharing the same color hue. That is the first step that leads to matching outfits.
Which one of these three will still have a career and not be a whatever happened to? From L to R, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens and Brittany Snow. I will say Britanny will be the most famous.
What the hell it has been two weeks since Star Trek photos, so here are Chris Pine
Eric Bana, and for all of you old school fans,
Leonard Nimoy.
"Taxi."
Debbie Gibson and Jonathon Knight for all of you NKOTB fans.
Maybe though you were a Backstreet fan, so here is Howie.
And if you hated all boy bands, then maybe you can enjoy Beaver.
Dominic Monaghan cleaned up nicely.
David Spade, not as clean, but not dirty either.
So, is that a wig or has Halle not cut her hair yet?
Who would you rather do? Ryan Reynolds or Hugh Jackman?
For all of you that are fans of Inside Damages.
That is a lot of grey between Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart. Matching bushy eyebrows too.
One of the very few times I have ever seen Jenna Fischer photographed on the street. Extremely rare.
Kelsey Grammer looks as if he is back to 100% health. I like him and I'm glad.
The Masterson brothers.
So, I have seen Michael and Shakira Caine in photos but I don't think I have ever seen their daughter Dominique in a photo before.
The always lovely Milla Jovovich.
The world really is ending. That is an actual real smile from Mary Kate Olsen. She looks completely different.
Hopefully Marc Jacobs gave all of that to Olivia Palermo for free because these photos were everywhere today.
Rosario Dawson deciding which tattoos are real and which are fake.
Tyson Beckford trying to be noticed.
Usher and his son. No Tameka Foster sightings in public since the plastic surgery disaster though.

The World Is Ending - "Denise Is Totally Great."


Did I go to sleep for a few years and then wake up in some type of bizarro world? There really is no explanation or rational explanation other than that. Why? Well it seems that Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards are getting along. Actually it isn't even about just getting along. According to Charlie's wife Brooke, "Denise is totally great, and it’s water under the bridge.”

The water she is referring to is all of the drama that has generated between the couple and now triumvirate over the past few years. Apparently they finally all decided to grow up and think of their kids first. In an interview with In Touch, Charlie says, “I feel like I’m doing something for the greater good,” he says. “They’re relying on me to make the right choices so they can have the life they deserve.”

And Brooke chimed in by saying, “I finally feel like everything has fallen into place.” The twins have even made Charlie and Denise closer. “We started noticing when we get along the kids are much happier,” Charlie says. “We had to do what’s best for the girls.” “They are blood relatives,” Brooke adds. “We want them to hang out as much as possible.

This can't last right? This is some kind of calm before the storm. I'm happy the kids will not have to see their parents in these vicious cycles of fighting, but at the same time there is no drama quite like Charlie and Denise drama and the accusations they always level at each other.

America Young - Catherine & Annie

America has a new web series that she has created and directed. Each episode is less than 3 minutes and follows Catherine & Annie who are two small town girls and their exciting, secret life. At least it is exciting in their minds. Below is the first episode, but all of them are already completed and posted so you don't have to wait a week for each new episode.

All of them are available in HD. All you have to do is click the little HD button in the lower right of the video screen.

Best Picture Of Tyra Banks Ever


When I first saw the picture of Tyra Banks above, I thought to myself that 75 year old Amy Winehouse picture sure is getting a lot of play. Then of course I read the headline and said, "Oh." At that point I fell out of my chair from laughing so hard and it took three people to lift me off the ground and get me back into my chair.

The picture is a drawing from the stalker trial involving the guy who has allegedly followed Tyra from coast to coast. She fears for her life and for her staff and family and friends and anyone who is with her at anytime. I wish she had felt so loving to her staff before the fast food Christmas party. I mean if she is so worried about their health and welfare why did she throw them a party at McDonald's or Burger King or wherever it was. Didn't she see Super Size Me.

The stalker's lawyer says that he is just an overzealous fan and that he was simply doing what Tyra wanted when on her website she encourages fans to write her. I think she probably wanted people to actually e-mail the letters rather than trying to deliver them in person. Oprah and Montel better also watch their backs because he is a fan of theirs as well.

Diddy Calls Aubrey O'Day A Hooker


Sometimes I just have to laugh when I read things. Aubrey O'Day gave an interview to Hip Hop Weekly and said in the interview that Diddy implies to people that Aubrey makes at least a portion of her living as a hooker.

She says that he has always called her "slutty" and that on the new season of Making The Band she says that, "I've heard little comments here and there about the reasons [Diddy says] why I've become a hooker and why I ruined Danity Kane."

I don't think there was anything to ruin in Danity Kane. It pretty much sucked entirely on its own. As for Aubrey being a hooker, she didn't actually deny it in the article which was kind of shocking. I mean even if you are a hooker, I think she wants to be treated as a serious actress and performer so as such, you would think she would go ahead and at least say she wasn't.

In other news you really don't care about, Aubrey is set to star in Shot Of Love for VH-1 which really should just be called, "Shot." You should be shot for appearing in it, watching it, and you will probably need one if you appear on it. It should do wonders for her reputation though.

Which married NFL legend recently did a TV panel with yours truly, not realizing that one of the other guests had been a pizza guy in college, and used to make deliveries to the secret apartment he used to stash his girlfriends?

How Much Does Vince Neil's Foundation Raise?


Charity auction items from celebrities are nothing new. Everyday we see some charity offering something to be auctioned on eBay to raise money. Well, back in 1995, Vine's daughter Skylar died of cancer and so he set up a foundation to raise money for cancer research. That is great and fantastic and I hope that they have raised a lot of money in previous years, because the takings are going to be really low this year.

Up for auction until Friday is a signed piece of the felt from his poker table. In addition to his own signature, Vince also included the signature of three porn stars, a set of guitar picks and a pack of playing cards. Seriously. The way I read this, is that someone probably came to Vince while he was playing strip poker with porn stars and said today was the last day to donate items to the auction and what were they going to donate. Vince then ripped off some felt from the table, wiped the ashes off it and had everyone sign. Found an old deck of cards and some guitar picks and congratulated himself for his goodwill.

I wouldn't pay more than $1, so it really is no surprise that the top bid so far is $255. Yep, and oh, that is not the minimum reserve bid. How much do they think it is worth? I appreciate that he is raising money for cancer research and every little bit helps, but maybe next time just write a check.

Which One Is Carrie And Which Is Charlotte?


I have received quite a few e-mails today asking me to write about Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick and their twins they are expecting via a surrogate. When I heard the news yesterday I didn't really care to be honest. I did wonder if Matthew had sex with the surrogate or if they went the whole Clay Aiken route. It kind of takes the fun out of having a baby if you are just looking at magazines and using a cup. Or a baster. Whatever works best for you really. I'm sure they could afford the whole cup/doctor route.

I know there are probably lots of people who say they should have adopted. Yeah, well they are the people who are going to have to raise the children, and I really it is their option which route they want to take. I also saw somewhere that Sarah Jessica Parker was too old to be having newborns in her house and to that I say look at all the 65 year old guys getting their 30 year old wives and girlfriends pregnant. Sure, Matthew will be retirement age when the twins graduate from high school and SJP will be doing Social Security In The City, but they are not unreasonably old to be having kids.

Pamela Anderson Is Smarter Than Shannen Doherty And Samantha Ronson


I'm not sure that Pamela Anderson is smarter than a 5th grader, but at least for one night she was apparently smarter than Shannen Doherty and Samantha Ronson. Yesterday, if you will recall I posted pictures of Shannen and Pam as they attended the opening of the strip club/steak house. I also had posted a few weeks ago about Pam and the way she well sell out any of her principles if the check is big enough.

What this all means to you, the reader is that several weeks ago you knew that a strip club/steak house was opening and who was going to appear. Well, when the stars showed up, they all claim they were shocked and would never have agreed to come if they had known it was going to be a strip club. Except for Pam of course. I mean, strip clubs, public streets, it really doesn't matter, her whole life is a strip club.

Samantha Ronson DJ'd the event and refused to look at any of the dancers and focused entirely on her music. She said she was tricked and didn't know it was a strip club. Shannen Doherty said the same exact thing. Uh huh. So, let me get this straight. You feel like you were tricked by the club? Or were you tricked by your agent? Or were you just unprepared for having to answer questions about getting paid to show up at a strip club so this is your story and you are sticking to it? Oh, and by admitting this, you are also admitting that Pamela Anderson is smarter than you because she knew exactly what it was.

Mel Has Been Single For Almost Three Years


People Magazine must want some really big favors from Mel Gibson. Either that or they think that if you have to choose sides between Mel and Robyn Gibson, you might as well pick the one who can help or hurt your magazine the most.

Although most of the tabloids covered Mel's public display of his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, I felt People really did the best job of kissing ass and really showed they are willing to write exactly what Mel wants them to say which is why they are known as Kneepads Magazine.

How long has Mel been single? If you had to take a guess. I know the headline says what Mel's representative told People, but would you have said three years? In the past three years has Mel ever said, you know what, I'm not living with my wife and children and instead I'm living in this house I bought for my Russian mistress. No one ever heard a peep. They didn't stay married out of any kind of love, they stayed married because he probably paid Robyn to stfu about it and he probably lied to his church as well.

Do you remember, the week after she filed he went to church and told everyone there he was getting a divorce? So, what do you think he has been telling all of them for the past three years? Did he show up every Sunday with Robyn and the kids and pretend everything is normal? Did she just skip church for three years? Mel Gibson is such an a-hole. I hope he and Sean Penn catch something really nasty from Jon Gosselin.

Anyway, to show the world that Mel is a great guy, this is what his rep said about Mel and Oksana going to the X-Men premiere. "Mel has been single for almost three years and it's nice to see him getting out and enjoying himself."

Yeah, like he has been living like a monk for the past 3 years. I hate when people try and shove crap down my throat, especially when it is entirely personally and financially self serving for that person. Damn he makes me angry. I need a drink.

Sean Penn Is Now Free To Date Hookers - Oh Wait. He Already Does That


According to Extra, Sean Penn filed for a legal separation from his long suffering wife Robin Wright Penn. I say long suffering which she no doubt has been, but it is she who decided to stay with Sean despite the fact he was having sex with two Russian hookers in the same hotel in which he and his family were vacationing. I mean at that point, my sympathy kind of goes out the window. You just end up looking really foolish and he learns he can do absolutely anything he wants and you will take it.

I guess Sean Penn must either want to get married again or he thinks he is going to make big bucks on Three Stooges and so wants to establish that date of separation so he doesn't have to share any of that money with Robin. I mean why not right? She has stuck with him for 13 years and now he is dumping her so he can focus exclusively on hookers, strippers, and porn stars. Oh, and Madonna. You don't think he won't? Please. I guarantee you they will have at least one reunion f**k and think of all the photographers following them around. It will be just like the old days except now they are older and if possible, even crankier. Hey, maybe they can go in halfsies on an adoption.

Jon Gosselin Has A New Kate


US Weekly found another cheater, and this time it is Jon Gosselin from Jon & Kate Plus 8. Apparently while Kate was out of town, Jon decided that instead of spending some quality time alone with his kids and doing some parental bonding, he would instead go out, get drunk and hang out with his girlfriend. OK, to be fair, he might have spent quality time with his children. He actually didn't go out until about 11pm so they were probably asleep. Hopefully he didn't leave them home alone.

US makes a huge deal about how Jon wasn't wearing his wedding ring. To me it just shows how ignorant he really is. He went to some bar that is really close to his house. I'm guessing that even though the average person in the world might not recognize him from his television show that he was probably noticed and recognized at a club near his house. Not wearing a wedding ring when the entire club knows you are married is just tool behavior. If the whole place knows you are married, whether they go home with you is not going to be dependent on whether you are wearing the ring.

For his part, Jon told US that "I went to Legends to speak to the owner. A friend of mine wanted to check out my car, so I let her drive it to her car," he says. "Yes, I have female friends -- but that is all she is. I'm not going to end my friendships just because I'm on TV."

He called this friend babe. Much easier when you are cheating with people if you just call them all babe and that way you don't have to worry about remembering names. When you already have 8 names to remember, babe kind of simplifies everything else.

Julia Roberts F Bomb Video

I asked for it and you found it. Thanks Patty. Julia is actually pretty funny in this video where she is roasting/honoring Tom Hanks.

Today's Blind Items

This very funny C+ television actor with B list name recognition on a very hit ensemble television show was recently pulled over by the police. Our actor had a bit too much to drink and was probably going to get arrested for a DUI. Figuring he had nothing to lose, he offered the policemen their choice of the three women he had just picked up at a club and was taking back to his hotel room. Remarkably both the officers and the two women chosen agreed. The policemen made one of the women drive, followed the actor to his hotel and spent about an hour in his suite before heading back out on patrol.

Random Photos Part One

This adorable little boy is 4 year old Edgar Hernandez who is thought to be the first survivor of the swine flu outbreak in Mexico.
Meanwhile, Speidi are taking a pre-honeymoon in Mexico. Umm, yeah. And then when they get back they will keep going to parties and coming into contact with hundreds of other people. Good plan. Idiots.
Ashlee Simpson and Brooklyn Junglebook.
Randomness of the day goes to Brian Dennehy (who I love) and Carla Gugino who you know I love.
It has been awhile since Breckin Meyer was in the photos.
The Princess wins again.
A Hollywood couple that has lasted a very long time, Ed Burns and Christie Turlington.
I still contend that when Charlize Theron makes the effort there are very few actors who look better than she does.
Emma Stone and Lacey Chabert can't decide which photographer to face.
The one and only Geoffrey Rush.
"Umm, they told us Hannah Montana was coming."
Jennifer Garner needs to go home and try again.
Kelly Osbourne in a Tarina Tarantino shoot.
Probably one of my favorite photos of the past several weeks. I love it.
Kristin Scott Thomas just looks really plain here.
Lorne Michaels really needs to be on the top of the photos someday soon.
This is Larry Wachowski (Matrix co-creator), now known as Lana. Larry/Lana is almost never seen in public.
Obviously Michael Douglas came straight from a nap.
I almost didn't recognize Matthew Fox.
Matthew McConaughey and Mishka.
Apparently this is what you wear to a steakhouse/strip club opening if you are Pamela Anderson.
If you are Shannen Doherty this is what you wear.
And if you are Big Pussy, this is what you wear. I actually think the woman works there because he had to give her $20 after the picture was taken.
Instead of asking Princess Beatrice to say, "cheese," he showed them a photo of Verne Troyer's tongue.
"I'm on a boat."
I still can't get over the fact that Sally Field played Tom Hanks girlfriend and mother. It is kind of disturbing.
She walks. And apparently also runs judging by the pictures I saw yesterday of Tom trying to catch her. Run Suri run.
Tom Hanks was honored last night with an award.
Julia Roberts in her speech about Tom dropped several F bombs. I would love to see a tape of it.
The woman on the left is named Trinny. I'm thinking that is one letter off.

Jessica Simpson & Lane Garrison


Someone has their PR machine working overtime and considering Lane Garrison has been in jail for the past few years, I'm guessing this is all coming from Jessica Simpson. According to In Touch, Jessica and Lane are very old friends, and although she didn't go see him the entire time he was in jail or mention him in an interview during that time period or as far as I know ever discuss his case at any time or any place is going to be there to pick him up when he gets out of jail. Uh huh. Yes, I know Lane lived with the Simpson family when he was a teen, but if Lane and Jessica are so close how come she hasn't talked about him or visited him in prison? She totally blew him off when all of this happened. She has never really commented on the time they lived in the same house.

In Touch says Jessica hasn't visited Lane while in prison because of security risks. What security risks? Does she think the entire inmate population is going to rise up against her because they were forced to watch Blonde Ambition? The magazine does say that even though Jessica hasn't visited Lane she has kept in contact with him. Uh huh. We are talking about the same Jessica Simpson here right?

I can't imagine Jessica even going to the airport and picking someone up, let alone driving to San Diego to pick up Lane Garrison at prison. Is Jessica Simpson going to be Lane Garrison's redemption in the public eye? Is Jessica going to leave her cowboy and hook up with a prisoner with some she once lived? See? Now this would be a great country song.

Nude Hiking Banned In Swiss Towns


I wasn't aware that nude hiking was a big thing so to speak, but apparently at least in Switzerland it is the thing to do if you are from Germany and looking for a fun way to spend the weekend. When I think of hiking I must be thinking of an entirely different sport than the Germans. The one I am thinking of requires long hours of walking through terrain that may not be forgiving, may cause you to fall, certainly gets you dirty and often leads to bug or other animal bites. They really want to do that naked? Apparently yes.

Several Swiss Cantons have been named in German nudist magazines as the place to go for naked hiking. Since then, the tiny villages and towns have been swamped with naked Germans wandering around in nothing more than backpacks while singing David Hasselhoff songs.

Although the people in the towns didn't like it, the behavior wasn't illegal until last weekend. Now if you choose to get one with nature it will cost you a $200 fine. It really shouldn't come to that. I am never going to hike anyway, but if I ever had to hike to a bakery or some other motivating pursuit, I sure know I wouldn't want to do it naked. Nude beaches are one thing. Falling down in the woods naked is completely another. That has got to hurt.

German HIV+ Singer Released From Jail


Nadja Benaissa was released from jail today. Nadja is the German popstar arrested for allegedly having unprotected sex with 3 men despite knowing she was HIV+. Nadja had spent the past two weeks in jail, but yesterday a judge in Darmstadt released the singer from jail and the arrest warrant was "postponed." Apparently the prosecutors are having a tough time moving this case forward. Maybe the people who said they had sex with her to the police don't want to say they had sex with her while at trial. The prosecutors say it is kind of like bail and that no one should think they are dropping the case. Uh huh.

It would be pretty tough to say she had sex with someone if they don't have a witness or a videotape or something. Yesterday was also the first time that Nadja had been allowed to see her daughter since she had been arrested. I didn't know that she had a daughter. It kind of makes me not like Nadja even more. I mean would she want some guy who was HIV+ to have sex with her daughter and not tell the daughter he was positive? So why would Nadja allegedly do that to the guys with whom she had sex?

Ben Widdicombe Blind Item

Which messy tabloid favorite who thinks she's a rock-style icon (actually she just married shrewdly) is known for calling journalists in a pill-haze and ratting out her celebrity friends? She has some especially good stories about her famous pals The Shoplifter and also The Godmother Of Her Child.

Joel Madden Stays Calm


By now you have probably heard that when Joel Madden and Nicole Richie were attempting to board a flight from London to Lisbon over the weekend, a British Airways representative told him he would need to cover his tattoos or stay in London. You have to give Joel a whole bunch of credit for not playing the "Don't you know who I am," card.

Instead the most he did was say that he was going to write a letter to British Airways and definitely not ever fly them again. He never lost his cool and never threw anything at anyone. He didn't yell and this is despite the fact that "i was embarrrassed all the people were staring and laughing! its not in the rules that i can find.my tatts arent offensive. looking into it. i havent felt this small since the first time i asked nic out."

I find it hard to believe that people were laughing, except maybe at the British Airways staff, or at the spelling in Joel's Twitter post. I'm sure people were staring and it probably had nothing to do with it being Joel and Nicole. I know I would be staring if some person at BA was telling some person to cover up their tattoos or they would be denied boarding.

I watched that show Airline and I think I saw every possible way you could be denied boarding, and having tattoos wasn't one of them. For their part, BA said the person who told Joel Madden he couldn't board has been disciplined and that BA has no policy against showing tattoos.

So, would this person have made David Beckham cover his tattoos?

Dolph Lundgren Scares Off Burglars With His Photo


In quite possibly the most ridiculous story I have heard for sometime, Dolph Lundgren saved his wife from three armed robbers who broke into Dolph's house, held his wife against her will and made her hand over money and jewels. Then, when she was fearing for her life, the Daily Mail reports that one of the masked invaders saw a family photo on a table which had Dolph's picture on it and they could not leave the house fast enough.

Want to have a great laugh? Here is the quote from the source to the Daily Mail. "Things might have turned out very differently if Dolph had been in. The criminals fled as soon as they realized the owner of the house they had raided was someone they wouldn't want to come up against in a fight. They left Anette pretty traumatized. She's Dolph's angel and anyone who messes with her is messing with him."

I have no doubt she is Dolph's angel and I also have no doubts this story is completely made up. Oh, sure parts of it might be true or maybe one of them lost a a piece of jewelry somewhere and thought this was a good story. If there are three armed masked men who break into a house while an occupant is there, I really doubt that a picture of Dolph Lundgren is going to make them want to turn tail and run. This isn't the movies, although it sounds like the beginning of a movie plot.

Craigslist Killer's Fiancee Stands By Her Man


Yesterday in my post about the wedding band I was kind of making light of the fact that by reading between the lines it sounded as if Megan McAllister and her family had not given up on the wedding, just that it wasn't going to happen in August. I was just having fun with the words, but it turns out that I was right. Despite the fact that Phillip told his family to give up on him, and that more news was coming and they should move to California, Megan just keeps standing by her man.

In a way it is really admirable and shows that when she loves someone she doesn't let something like murder charges get in the way of that love. So, I'm guessing a fight about leaving the toilet seat up is not going to cause a divorce.

That is the positive. On the negative, it is really starting to be creepy. She released a statement that her father read yesterday. I'm assuming her dad or her mom or someone in the family must be rational, but they really do think he is innocent. Does her dad? He read the statement and I would think he would have tried to talk her out of the statement if he thought the guy was guilty.

Here is what she said yesterday.

"To me and my family, he is a loving and caring person and in the eyes of the law and the constitution, he is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," she said in a statement Monday. "I just can only hope that the criminal justice system will not be overwhelmed and persuaded by what is being put forth in the media. In the past two short weeks, my life and what I hoped my life to be has dramatically changed. I also love my fiancé and I will continue to support him throughout this legal process."

I don't think she has been questioned by the police yet. That is supposed to happen this week. I'm guessing when they start asking her questions and showing her or telling her things that all of this support might slowly fade away into nothingness. I understand that this is a huge shock for her and if true, probably would make her feel stupid for not seeing it because this is the guy she was supposed to marry. As long as she holds out hope he is innocent than she doesn't have to look in the mirror. That has to be a very painful proposition and so I sympathize with why she is holding off on doing that.

Carla Bruni Sarkozy Sex Tape Coming Soon


Paris police are going nuts today because burglars have stolen hundreds of highly "intimate" photos and film of Carla Bruni and her ex boyfriend Raphael Enthoven. According to the Paris police, Raphael's brother had been put in charge of all the photos and film and to keep it hidden so none of it would embarrass Carla or the French President. Umm. Here is an idea. If it is so damaging, and it certainly appears by the reaction of the police that it is, why wouldn't the items just have been destroyed? Why weren't they kept in the President's house so they wouldn't be available to a random thief?

I will tell you why. Because the President probably didn't know his wife was making naked movies. I'm sure he knew she was probably posing nude. I mean she was a model and so that was kind of standard for her in her job. So, you are probably saying to yourself, how do I know there is a sex tape? First, because the thieves knew exactly where the items were and exactly what to take and didn't take anything else. Second, when you are a woman who has posed nude countless times, how embarrassing can more nude pictures be to you or to the President? It wouldn't be any big deal. But, a sex tape or photos of her performing intimate acts, that would be potentially embarrassing.

"The thieves appeared to know exactly what they were looking for - taking highly intimate prints, a camera full of further images, videos, and numerous computer files. They broke into Mr Enthoven's flat in the sixth arrondissement on Sunday night, forcing open a window in the sitting room. Nobody was at home at the time, and nothing else was taken."

I'm guessing that Carla's ex was hiding them and hanging on to them until such time as he could sell them or make a deal with her for them or until the President left office. I also doubt the President knows anything about them. He does now.

Rosie O'Donnell Gets Mad At Her Neighbor


So, what do you do if you live in an apartment building and your next door neighbor is a celebrity? Do you treat them like anyone else in the building? Do you pretend to not know who they are? What do you do if your celebrity neighbor gets in a "knock down, drag-out screaming match" with her wife? Well, if you are Rosie's neighbor Julia Allison you blog all about the fight and share it with the world. Rosie, of course was slightly ticked. OK, she was really ticked and has asked her neighbor to stay out of her business.

Is it getting involved in Rosie's business though? If your neighbor is having an argument and screaming and yelling with their significant other and it is carrying into your apartment they are kind of making it your business. If they had wanted to keep it their own business they wouldn't have been yelling and screaming that loud anyway.

Pretend for a second that your neighbor wasn't a celebrity and you heard this kind of fight. Would you tell your friends about it? You probably would. If there was a fight that loud, you would probably share it with someone. You might even share it with any of your friends who you think would care about what you heard. Well, if it is a celebrity, that circle of friends is more far reaching and so your blog might be the best way to share that news with everyone.

If someone had been injured in the fight at Rosie's apartment, I'm sure that Julia would have been asked to report what she heard. So, what? Because no one was injured or hurt and it was just screaming and yelling she is supposed to pretend like it never happened? That is unrealistic and Rosie needs to realize that.

When the NY Post asked Rosie's people for a statement, they got this lovely excuse. "Yes, they fought - like most couples do. Give me a break - they're fine! They're happy [but] they have four kids.

"Whatever busybody neighbor spread this around probably shouldn't knock on their door to borrow a cup of sugar - ever."

So, apparently the four kids are the reason they were fighting? Wow. Blame it on the kids for your problems or issues. Even if it is because of the kids, don't you think you could have taken one for the team and blamed yourselves. I mean, I guess there is the possibility your kids won't read about you throwing them under a bus, but if they do read it, there will be some serious back pedaling to do. To me, that is really disturbing that they threw their kids under the bus that easily.

How To Lose $30M in 3 Years


Normally you would think that if you spend $30M over the course of three years that you would have something tangible in return to show for it. A house, cars, clothes, a yacht, something. I mean, Brewster's Millions, notwithstanding, you just can't blow $1M a month every month for three years and get nothing in return.

Well, according to music producer Scott Storch, that is exactly what he did. Over the past three years he spent $30M on cocaine. He spent other money on other things, but $30M of his money went to the drug. He wiped himself out financially. I can't fathom spending $250K a week on a drug. That is a little over $1,000 an hour 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 3 years that you spent on a drug.

That just blows my mind.

Scott says that he is now in recovery. Umm, yeah, but I wonder if he would have been in recovery yet if he had not run through all his money. It is an interesting theory. Did he hit rock bottom or did the fact he didn't have any money left make him hit rock bottom?

He told MTV, "I'm taking it back to square one (going back into the studio). I found myself slipping a little bit. I got involved in doing drugs. I had to get myself into recovery. Being in the life that I was living - very fast-moving, option to do anything you want, go anywhere you wanna go - it definitely takes its toll on you, and you lose your concept of reality. I had to get it under control. I had to take it back to the beginning and back to the Hit Factory (studio), where I made a lot of my hits."

Good luck to the guy. I remember when Britney was in her shaved head phase she was spending a lot of time with Scott. They were probably knitting together. Maybe taking a cross-stitch class.

One Point For Katie In The Katie Holmes Marathon Conspiracy

While I am still not sure whether Katie Holmes ran and finished the NYC Marathon a few years ago, I will say that it appears one of the points which is always brought up, may in fact not be such a big deal. People who say she didn't run the marathon point to the fact that there is no way she could have run 26 miles and then managed to shove her feet into a pair of heels that night for an event.

To that I respond with the images below. This is Jenni Falconer who is a television host in the UK. She ran the London Marathon yesterday in a time of about 3 hours and 40 minutes and then a few hours later was at the BAFTA's where she wore heels. I love a good conspiracy theory, but at least as far as the heels go, I think that part is a no go.

Today's Blind Items

Friday night at The Grove. Movie theatre is packed to see Obsessed. The lights are down, the movie is about half way, when a cell phone stars ringing. Not vibrating, but ringing. One of those really loud ringing ones for people who like to hear it from a mile away. Everyone is looking around to see who the culprit is. This used to be an A list, Oscar nominated movie actress who now really doesn't work except for keeping her husband glued to her, starts digging through her purse. It is still ringing. She finally gets the phone out of the purse. What would you do if this were you? You would turn it off. Our actress, says, "Hello." And then has a one minute conversation before hanging up. Yeah, I can't wait to see her at the premiere of the next movie her husband does, and get everyone to start talking on their cell phones.

Random Photos Part One

The Face-Off. Princess Letizia goes head to head against Carla Bruni Sarkozy. I think the Princess wins easily. (Thanks Dave)


Look who it is. You don't recognize her do you? It is Anna Chlumsky of My Girl fame. I know. I know. She is making a comeback. I remember her in an episode of 30 Rock where she played Liz Lemler.
That is an odd combination of looks right there. Mickey Rourke and Andy Garcia. Absolute polar opposites.
Anne Hathaway and her dog. I think that is the dog she and her convict ex-boyfriend got together.
Andrew McCarthy and Dolores Rice.
Brad Pitt and sons at Niagara Falls.
The always lovely and age defying Bernadette Peters.
Cheryl Hines looks great. Meg Ryan, not so much.
This is Chris O'Dowd. Chris is on the television show The IT Crowd which won a BAFTA last night for Best Situational Comedy. It is quite possibly the funniest show I have seen in a few years. You can watch Season 1 instantly on NetFlix and it is well worth your time.
I believe David Tennant is wearing velvet. He also looks like he has lost about 20 pounds.
The very gorgeous Emily "The Emily" Deschanel. So, I am really getting the strange feeling that 80's fashion is working its way back into everything. The 80's were kind of a blur, but the clothes I have been seeing lately and like this dress, the colors and patterns all seem 80's. I wonder if they make parachute pants in a size 52 waist.
I almost didn't recognize Elisabeth Shue.
Tom, Gisele, and Tom's son all hanging out in Vancouver together.
Gary Coleman was at the premiere of a movie called Midgets vs. Mascots. Umm, I am going to go ahead and wager the mascots are going to win this one.
It has been a long time for both Gael Garcia and Diego Luna to be in the photos.
The one and only Graham Norton. If you are looking for a Bea Arthur moment to watch in her memory, search on YouTube for Graham Norton & Bea Arthur. Great episode of his show.
Gordon Ramsay and his long suffering wife.
Kate Hudson wandering aimlessly down the street. Seriously, she kept going from sidewalk to street and back. If it had been anyone else I would have offered she was looking for customers.
Phoebe Cates is always welcome in the pictures. Usually though it is only when she is attached to Kevin Kline.
Where would Hollywood be without character actors like M. Emmet Walsh and
James Rebhorn. I love these guys.
They actually seem suited for one another.
Michelle Ryan, with what looks like new lips, and Ed Westwick.
"So, then I run around St. Peter's and take the plates and twirl them on little sticks."
Salma Hayek getting married. That was pretty obvious huh?
I don't think Matthew Broderick needs to accept any more roles which age him more dramatically than he ages himself.
With Steven Weber it actually looks kind of cool.
Thomas Haden Church doesn't look like he is having much fun. So, again my point is, as always, why go? Stay the hell home.
It seems as if I am always putting designers in the photos, but have somehow always missed Vera Wang.

When Does Ali Lohan Go To School?


I know I have spoken about this subject briefly before, but it is really starting to tick me off. Ali Lohan and her sister are in Hawaii this week apparently taking a vacation from looking for work and not finding any. Over the past several weeks I have seen photo after photo of Ali taken during the day and at night always out and never going to school. I haven't heard that she has anyone come to the house and tutor her. She is 15. It is compulsory for 15 year old kids to get an education in California. Has anyone seen any pictures of her going to school? Coming home from school? No, because she doesn't seem to go. She also doesn't work, and so it appears that she has given up on any kind of education at the age of 15. I'm sure she has learned all she needs to learn from Dina and her sister.

How is she getting away with this? Is there some kind of special Lohan law that exempts them from going to school? Do you think you could get away with not sending your child to school?

The US Needs This Show Desperately


If you want to have me sit my fat butt in front of the television watching celebrity reality television, I have found the perfect show to accomplish that. In the UK they have a version of the old Newlywed game, but this time for celebrities who are dating or married. God how I want to watch some celebrity couples on this show. Give me Tori & Dean and Kim & Reggie and Tom & Katie or anyone else. I honestly don't care if they are A list or D list, I know this would be great.

Even on the Newlywed show which featured people who had been married less than a year, it was so fun to watch people not have a clue about the person to whom they were married. In the most recent episode which aired in the UK, Keisha Buchanan from The Sugababes was on with her boyfriend Dean Thomas. It doesn't matter if you don't know who she or the group is, just look at the questions and answers and imagine the fun we could have with our celebrity couples.

WHAT IS KEISHA'S FAVORITE BAND?

K - The Sugababes, of course.

D - Er, Girls Aloud?

WHO IS THE HOTTEST SUGABABE?

K - I hope he says me!

D - Is that ginger one still there?

NAME THE SUGABABE LINE-UP

K - Heidi, Amelle and Keisha.

D - Dopey, Sneezy & Bashful?

You might think it was all a joke, but the couple broke up right after the show. Dean also said he was the better kisser in the couple.

The show is called Mr. & Mrs.

Tom & Katie Movie Night


Katie Holmes gave a quick interview to People Magazine over the weekend when she was on a red carpet. For some reason the topic of discussion was movie night at their house. I wish someone would have the guts to ask something more meaningful, but are probably scared they will piss off Tom. Why they would care is beyond me, but for now we end up with the banal, but even that can sometimes lead to interesting revelations.

Apparently at the Cruise house when they watch movies they don't just watch one. Nope, instead Katie and Tom sit down and watch three in a row. Even at a really short running length that is well over four hours sitting right next to Tom as he breaks down why he loves watching himself on the movies. Oh, you think they watch movies that aren't his? What like Battlefield Earth?

It appears from Katie's comments that Tom decides which movies they want to watch. I say this because she said there are times when Tom wants to watch something she doesn't want to watch.

"But I'll watch it anyway, and then we'll talk about it afterward." Great. A question and answer section to make sure you were paying attention. She didn't say anything about times where she picks a movie Tom doesn't want to watch and to me it would have been the natural thing to say next. A stretch? Maybe, but I'm guessing it is probably accurate.

They also spoke briefly about going to Disney World back in February.

"It was really special," she says. "My parents were there so she had Grandma and Grandpa. We had a great time."

Maybe I am just reading too much into quotes, but does it seem from the tenor of the quote that perhaps Suri doesn't see too much of Grandma and Grandpa?

Which alcoholic songbird wears her sunglasses even inside her hair salon so no one can see how sauced she is?

Apparently Kim Kardashian's Hair Is A Big Deal


As you can see in the picture above, Kim Kardashian fooled the world into thinking she went blonde, when in fact it was a wig she didn't remove for four days. Well, apparently whatever hair color she is or isn't is a very big deal. By my count, including this post, at least 50 blogs, FOX News, US Weekly and OK! have all talked about Kim's hair color. Ummm, she is a porn star on a really bad reality show. Is there really nothing else to talk about gossip wise? Is there nothing else you could come up with about which to write? Millions and millions of people have now read about Kim going to blonde and how it was all a joke. Are there really that many people in the world who really care if she had changed hair colors? Are there a group of people who wake up in the morning desperate for news about Kim? If she had gone blonde would these people rush out and become blondes themselves? Why is it even news? Do you know how many actresses change their hair colors everyday? You know, for parts and we rarely notice. Oh, we will notice when Halle shaves her head but would the world stop? Would 50 gossip sites, national news networks and tabloids all report if she became a red head? Hell no, so why is Kim Kardashian a big deal. I just don't understand.

Spencer Pratt Yells At Wedding Photographer While Cutting Cake



On one side of the world the A list gathered to celebrate the wedding of Salma Hayek and her really rich baby daddy. On the other side of the world, everyone you don't like was gathered in a church in Pasadena watching a couple getting married for a television show who then had a reception in a nightclub. I wasn't going to talk about either wedding but then I saw this great post Sheila sent me about how Spencer freaked the hell out at someone who was taking pictures at the reception who was being paid to take pictures at the reception.

This woman named Noa who is a professional photographer for Feather Love Photography was hired by the wedding coordinators to take artistic photos at Speidi's cocktail reception. They had already hired a pap photographer for their other photos. So, Noa is running around taking her usual artistic type photos when she was spotted by Speidi as they were cutting their cake. Spencer actually stops while cutting the cake to yell at this woman for taking pictures like she was hired to do.

"So anyways, Speidi is cutting the cake and all of a sudden they get really upset and they start yelling at me and telling me to give them my CF card and how did I get in, and which magazine do I work for. Ha! They thought I was paparazzi! (This may or may not all end up on The Hills- who knows). Well, then I was asked to delete my photos in front of their photographer so he could watch me do it, and then some very VERY large men started to “remove” me. It was pretty crazy. There was one guy who stopped them and said he would follow me (along with two giant bodyguards) and make sure I left without the whole, like, throw-me-out thing. Here I was asked to shoot details and people at this wedding and next thing I know, I was being “escorted out”."

Noa's blog is filled with great photography of weddings and people, and she even managed to take some good ones at Speidi's reception. If you do look, be warned there are lots of pictures of Speidi. Oh, and Noa seems to have a tremendous amount of love for Perez Hilton which she captures in words and photos.

ABC And Lost Being Sued For Sexual Harassment


A ten year employee of ABC filed a lawsuit on Friday which alleges that Henry Ian Cusick fondled her breasts and butt and kissed her on the lips back in October 2007. This was not something she wanted and so let her supervisor know, which is the most important thing you can do besides saying no if you are ever sexually harassed. Oh, and be sure to follow the procedures exactly as they appear in your employee handbook and write everything down. OK, enough about that. The woman working for ABC told her supervisor what happened and he told her to avoid the actor. 12 days later she was fired. Well, that is because Chelsea Stone was just a ten year employee and not a star on a hit television show.

If her allegations are true, ABC is in for a world of hurt. This isn't some extra who was on the set for a day that ABC can try and portray as some money hungry person looking to cause trouble. Chelsea Stone worked for ABC for ten years. Ten years is a long damn time in Hollywood to work for one company. Then she complained about a star, and she was gone. Just like that. A ten year career wiped out just because some ass decided he wanted to grope her and probably felt like nothing would happen to him. It took 18 months, but something did happen. I also hope he spent the entire weekend being yelled at by his wife about this incident. Oh yeah, he is married. He has three kids with her as well.

Jessica Biel Naked Goes Straight To DVD


When the pictures surfaced last week of Jessica Biel naked in her new movie Powder Blue, I figured someone had convinced her that being naked in the movie would do for her career what it did for Halle Berry when she filmed a topless scene. Umm, the difference is that Halle just needed a career boost and not acting classes. Actually I don't even think acting classes can save Jessica.

So, Jessica trained and trained for her role as a stripper and took off her clothes and was probably expecting this huge money making blockbuster, and instead she has a straight to DVD flop that will probably be discounted 50% right from the start. Oh, that sounds just like Jessica Simpson. I think Jessica Biel should release it in Russia so it can be number one there.

Meanwhile, Jessica is probably set to fire her agent or manager or whoever convinced her this would be a good idea. Sure, apparently she trained with so many strippers and had so much one on one time that she actually became good enough to be a professional stripper. That certainly is a fallback position. I'm trying to think of when portraying a stripper has worked out for an actress. Demi Moore? It took a long time for her to recover from Striptease. Lindsay Lohan? That was the death knell of her "career." Elizabeth Berkeley? Have you seen her in much since Showgirls? I think whoever convinced Jessica to do it just wanted to see her naked and so said she should do the movie.

I think the three Jessicas should get together and make a movie. By the three Jessicas I mean Simpson, Biel and Alba. If you consistently put all three of them in one movie then they can't ruin any other movies. Plus, if you are a fan of them you still get to see them in movies probably no worse than the ones they already make. They could do a bunch of buddy movies or really bad Charlies Angels rip off movies or some kind of Three Stooges parody.

I think that is a much better idea than continuing to cast them individually in movies thinking the movies are going to be great. Producers need to remember that just because someone is a famous actress doesn't mean they got famous because of their acting.

I Wonder If They Got Their Deposit Back


The B Street Band was scheduled to perform at the Craigslist killer's wedding later this summer, but a family member of the bride told the band there was no possibility of the wedding taking place in August. So, let's take a look at what the family member said. Obviously they think Phillip Markoff is still going to be in jail, and so yeah, I'm guessing a judge isn't going to let him go out and enjoy his wedding day. Apparently if Phillip and his bride to be, Megan McAllister are going to get married in prison, a Bruce Springsteen tribute band is not really necessary. That is a really odd choice for a wedding. A Bruce Springsteen tribute band.

The family member was filled with some optimism though when they said the wedding wouldn't take place in August. I would have said something like there is no way this wedding is ever going to happen. Remember this is a family member of the bride. Don't you think you would have said, there is no way in hell she is ever marrying that guy so give us our deposit back. They didn't though, so I'm guessing someone someday thinks it might happen.

Well, considering Phillip told his family to be prepared for other surprises that will be discovered, I think Megan might want to hold off on hiring a new caterer.

Casey Aldridge Is A Lucky Man


You might think that the headline is a little misleading considering Casey Aldridge was in that terrible truck accident over the weekend, but with just a little bad luck he could have ended up like Nick Hogan. Casey was charged with careless operation of a motor vehicle, but if any of his four passengers had been killed in the accident he could be looking at serious jail time. Instead, through some kind of miracle, despite three people being ejected from the truck, he was the only one seriously hurt. Oh sure, he will probably get sued, but if his insurance won't pay up, then maybe Britney will lend him a few bucks.

The police said they didn't have any reason to suspect Casey was drinking and I don't either, but I do find it extremely interesting that no policeman actually talked to Casey until four hours after his crash and that is when they made their drinking determination. Ummm, like I said, I have no reason to suspect he was drinking, but doing an interview with him four hours after the fact is not going to give you the best indication as to whether he was under the influence of something.

I'm glad everyone is doing fine, and Casey should be grateful that this didn't turn out with him being the next Nick Hogan. By the way, how do you fit five people into that truck in the picture?

Ted C Blind Item

Hard-Nipple Nick is the hottest star, both bod-wise and at the box office. His wife's figure and professional goings-on aren't too shabby, either, as both Mr. and Mrs. Nick enjoy fame and fortune regularly up on the big screen—though his paychecks dwarf hers, big-time.

Yep, everything's pretty cozy Chez Nick, even the bisexual couple's agreement to have lovers outside the marriage. Instead of his-and-hers towels, they have his-and-hers sex partners!

And you guessed it, there's a girl for Mrs. Nick and...

A boy for Mr. Nick! And like the smart have-it-all couple they are, the Nicks chose other famous people to be their closeted lovers. Too crafty! Only problem being Hard-Nipple's boyfriend is married to an established actress who's growing increasingly peeved over the clandestine arrangement.

"He's starting to go out and fly him with him everywhere," a good friend to the Nicks told yours truly about Hard-Nipple taking the BF a few too many places as of late. "They're turning up everywhere together, and [the boyfriend's wife] is getting really pissed about it. It's going too far. It's only a matter of time before she spills."

Guess all those pricey little gifties to the wife for borrowing her hubby aren't as attractive as they once were?

Must say I'm a tad surprised to hear this latest development, as H.-N'.s always been one of the best in the Biz about keeping his preferred love life on the down-low. And now that it's flyin' high, guess a tabloid revelation is only seconds away from takeoff!

And It Ain't: John Travolta, David Beckham, Jerry O'Connell
