Memorial Day Weekend Stuff

Last weekend was of course a three day weekend in Canada for Victoria Day and this weekend is a 3 day weekend in the US and also over in the UK. That being said, I will be posting all day on Monday. I will be drunk, but I will be posting. Also on Monday there will allegedly be a post by Carli who is going to a BBQ at Adam Carolla's house this weekend. So, that should be something to get you away from the pool or the grill for at least a few minutes.

Also this week I want to say thanks to some readers who love the site so much they decided to buy ads on the site. They are over on the right next to Ben. Say hi Ben. I really appreciate the fact that readers think this site is the place where they want to spend money. I don't get any money if you click on their ads or anything, or get a commission. I will say that if you need a ticket reseller just try the people over at Ticket Liquidators before you make your purchase. A reader from Ireland has come up with a program to deal with panic attacks called Panic Away. No, not Panic! At the Disco, panic attacks. And finally, yet another reader is trying their hand at selling vacations and airline tickets so give them a look see as well on their site Travelatime.

Oh, and also the.princess.leia has started a new site to try and attempt to clarify the entire A-D list of every actor and actress known to mankind. You can help her out by contributing your thoughts. Click here to see her site.

I hope that wherever you are this weekend that you be safe and have fun. I know lots of you will be on the road this weekend. I care about all of you and want you back here safe on Monday or Tuesday or whenever you get back.

Four For Friday

#1 & #2 - This C list almost exclusively movie actress who has been in some important movies thought she had found true love. It sounds like true terror. In what should be her coming out party for her first real big lead role, she instead has to deal with her new B list writer/director boyfriend who loves nothing more than hitting her. Very careful not to leave a mark on her face, she nevertheless was almost in tears on the red carpet from the pain he inflicted on her the night before her big premiere this week. Despite this, she still held his hand as they walked the red carpet. Sick I know.

#3 - This former A list movie actor and now pretend singer and movie actor was playing at a recent golf tournament. Along the side of the fairways were multi-million dollar homes. In the driveway of one of these homes was a huge RV painted in a rather garish color. Our actor said the RV distracted him and he refused to play until it was move out of his eyesight.

#4 - Want to make this married former A list television and movie actor stop coming to your hotel? Tell him he is banned from receiving any more massages from the male masseurs employed by the hotel because of his unwanted and unwelcome advances. Our actor hasn't been back since.

Your Turn

Today, in honor of the 50th birthday of the one and only Steven Patrick Morrissey I thought we would discuss who your favorite music group or singer is. I would also love to hear stories of great concerts you went to or the best album you have ever heard or the time you got drunk with Ozzy. Anything music related. It is pretty much anything goes.

Amy Winehouse And Michael Jackson Should Perform Together

I saw today that Amy Winehouse canceled out on her next concert which was supposed to be held next Sunday in the UK. It isn't surprising, but at least for her fans they won't have to suffer through an awful performance and can get their money back. At this point I don't think Amy should perform at all because it is just one big disappointment. I guess it would be different if she lip synched, because then she could just grab the microphone for support and hang on to it for 90 minutes or so and then be helped off the stage.

I am waiting for the day that Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse sign up to perform together. It won't ever happen of course. Not the signing up part, that might happen, but the actual playing. They will just take the money and run. Amy to the nearest crackhouse and Michael to the nearest place he can find to buy the ugliest pieces of crap with which to clutter his house.

Yesterday, I talked about Michael postponing the start of his scheduled run in London and just as all of you predicted, people are ticked. People have bought plane tickets, booked hotels, and lots of other things that are non refundable. It does them absolutely no good to have the show moved to the end of March. Moving it to the end of March also means that promoters don't have to offer refunds. It isn't a cancellation, just a postponement. Of course that will change. Michael was in LA seeing a doctor again yesterday and it is only a matter of time before this whole idea collapses. I'm guessing there must be some kind of medical out in his contract which will allow the promoters to get their money and Michael to keep what he has paid. Of course all of the ticket holders will be screwed. Oh, they might get their money back for the concert tickets but nothing else.

Mary Kay Letourneau Hosts Hot For Teacher Night

Yes, the headline is completely serious. It seems that famed rapist, and former teacher Mary Kay Letourneau, along with her now husband and former student are hosting a Hot For Teacher night at a Seattle club this Saturday night. The bar owner doesn't see a problem with it at all.

Yes, why not make a buck off the fact that you raped your student and got pregnant with him? Why not celebrate the fact that you spent over seven years in prison for that rape. Mary Kay is now 47. Her husband is 26. They have been married for about four years now, and I hope that he is ok, but you really have to wonder how this whole thing messed with his life.

I mean they started having a sexual relationship when he was 12 and she was 34. 12 years old!! We tend to make light of all of this because she is a woman and he is boy, but imagine if the situations were reversed. What would we think about some guy having the same kind of party to celebrate the fact that he went to jail for raping a 12 year old girl when he was 34? I think we would all agree it would be pretty damn sick and disgusting so I don't understand why people treat this any differently. Just because the 12 year old was a boy doesn't mean he won't suffer mentally or physically because of this?

Thank You Oprah

It is rare that I ever thank Oprah for anything other than the fact that she is on television while I am at work and so I don't have to even inadvertently flip through the channels and see her. However, today there is something else for which I can be thankful. According to the National Enquirer (through CeleBitchy), Kirstie Alley was in talks to do a show for Oprah, but because Kirstie couldn't ever come to an agreement with Oprah's production company, Oprah instead went with Jenny McCarthy. Although I don't agree with everything Jenny says, I can't think of anything worse than giving Kirstie Alley an hour a day nationally to tell the world what she thinks about everything.

I think Oprah probably got caught up in the moment of Kirstie Alley losing all that weight and thought a show would be a good idea. Of course there is also the whole Oprah Scientology thing which is tough to explain and maybe played a part of it. I think she finally decided that no matter how many interviews she could score with Tom Cruise and John Travolta that having Kirstie Alley blather on every day was simply not worth it.

Robert Schimmel Has Domestic Violence Case Against Wife Dropped

Robert Schimmel had been arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife. Now though, his wife has dropped the charges and the district attorney here in Los Angeles has said that without her testimony there is not enough evidence to proceed so the case has been dropped. Back in early May, Robert had been arrested by the police after an argument with his wife where she had said he hit her.

She is still proceeding with the divorce action which she filed a few days after the incident but will basically let him go free to find a new girlfriend or wife and let her find out what it is like to live with him. On the one hand I am happy she hasn't decided to drop the divorce case, but obviously something happened that night or else she wouldn't have called the cops and wouldn't be divorcing him.

On the other hand I hate the fact that now he can always say he didn't do anything wrong and that it was all a misunderstanding or something.

Jessica Simpson And Ken Paves Break Up

According to the NY Post, there is reason to believe that Jessica Simpson and Ken Paves have gone their separate ways. Yeah, kind of like the Journey song, but minus Steve Perry singing really loudly or Randy Jackson playing bass in some ridiculous outfit for which he paid a fortune. Anyway, it seems that when Jessica was on the cover of Vanity Fair, for which I will never forgive them, the stylist listed for Jessica is Oribe. Uh oh. Where was Ken? Well apparently Vanity Fair hates Ken, and when they had offered Jessica a cover shoot years prior, when she was actually cover worthy, she turned them down because her friendship with Ken was more important. Well, that friendship got tossed under the bus pretty quickly when Jessica needed some positive publicity in a national magazine didn't it?

Maybe this is why Jessica has not been going out so much. She has no one with whom to go out. Ashlee is off filming her television show and Tony is off anywhere but with Jessica and John Mayer is covering himself in lipstick and then taking pictures and so that leaves Jessica with Jessica. I guess she could go out with Caycee and Donald, but then Zach Braff always wants to come along and then Jessica gets drunk and thinks Zach really is a doctor and lets him examine her and so it gets really weird.

The NY Post might be on to something because it has been awhile since I saw them photographed together, but I don't go out of my way looking for photos of them, so I could be wrong.

What Do You Think?

Have you been watching or reading about the saga of Danny Hauser and his mother? Danny is a 13 year old boy who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and after one round of chemo, his parents decided to not take him back for more. The parents are registered members of a Native American tribe and have decided they want to treat their son naturally, and without medication. A judge in Minnesota said no, and ordered the child back to chemo. So, mom decided to make a run for it. Supposedly mom and son are now in California making a run for Mexico while dad is back in Minnesota trying, and not doing a very good job of convincing authorities that he has no idea where his wife and son are.

It seems to me the pair shouldn't be that hard to find, but with the exception of a possible sighting in Southern California, there really has been no trace of them. They are probably traveling with a guy who says that he was cured of the same form of cancer without relying on medicine. Of course he never proved that to anyone. The mom and dad are registered members of this Native American organization which says that "our religion is our medicine." The fact that the leader spent time in jail for all kinds of things related to his "religion" and "medicine" doesn't exactly give him the highest credibility.

You would think the parents might have looked into that part of him a little more carefully. I just want the kid to be safe and not die. I don't understand why they can't do a mixture of natural and chemo. The thing is this form of cancer is fairly easy to beat as far as cancers go, and I would hate for a 13 year old boy to not see the rest of his life because mom decided to run. I don't know how running will improve his health, or how much he is going to like having his mom in jail for the next few years while he is fighting cancer.

$20,000 For A Kiss On The Cheek?

I think sometimes people go to charity auctions and lose their minds. It is really the only logical explanation. Sure, it is charity, but it also shouldn't take away common sense. If someone came to your house selling cookies for charity and each box was $75 would you buy one just because it was for charity? Hell no, because no one pays $75 for a box of cookies. Unless of course you have been drinking or smoking pot all night and then, in that case $75 might be the going rate.

Last night in Cannes there was a charity auction for amfAR which is a great organization and one of the few that will actually let Sharon Stone be in charge of anything. Anyway, at the auction celebrities were participating and Robert Pattinson decided to auction off a kiss on the cheek. Yep. If you were the high bidder Robert would kiss you on the cheek. And because he is so generous with his time he was willing to offer this prize to two lucky winners.

Well, the two lucky winners each paid $20,000 for a one second kiss on the cheek. Kind of disappointing I think. I mean I understand the $20,000 is going to charity, but again, look at that $75 box of cookies. He probably kissed 100 people on the cheek yesterday for free yesterday while he was in Cannes, so suddenly charging $20,000 for it seems high. How about some lunch or something tangible?

To give you an example, for $60,000 last night you could have had a private screening of Inglorious Basterds for you and a friends plus dinner at Cipriani for all of them as well. Yes, it is expensive, and a truly awful movie, but it is better than a kiss on the cheek from a kid who is probably going to disappear after this whole Twilight thing. I don't think there are too many people out there bragging about the time they paid $20,000 for Corey Haim to kiss them on the cheek.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which newly attached TV actress got it on with a gawky star from the same network?

Random Photos Part One

This is Gina Lollobrigida who used to be one of the biggest stars in the world. I think it is appropriate to have her at the top of the photos. It is amazing that someone who used to be such a worldwide star just kind of fades away and no one really cares anymore.
Ashlee Simpson doing some press for Melrose Place.
It's Sydney Andrews!!! Oh, wait, I mean Laura Leighton. Yeah. I'm wondering if she could just kill off Ashlee's character in the first episode.
Christina Aguilera looks completely different than normal here. I couldn't really figure out why at first and then I realized I can't remember the last time I saw her in daylight.
If you ever have a chance to see Carlos Santana in concert you need to take advantage of it and do so. I know you are all excited about the American Idol tour, but do yourself a favor and see someone who is actually a musician.
Chace Crawford. A man with a career on the rise.
Ed Westwick. A man who enjoys a fake tan.
Everytime I put the words Countess and LuAnn together, I seriously laugh for about 20 minutes.
I have seen Chloe Sevigny look a lot worse.
Umm. Wow. Elle Macpherson is an attractive woman. She is 46 years old and looks amazing.
"Pip sir. They call me Pip." Yeah, I know, and I know you might not get it, but Ginnifer Goodwin just kind of looks like a little boy in this picture. In a dress mind you.
Heather Locklear and a child who deserves some kind of award for surviving the last year.
I am rarely mean for the sake of being mean, and here is an example. Jessica Alba looks beautiful. This is about as perfect as she can look.
Even Selma Blair looks decent in a 80's Dallas kind of fake tan way.
Jane's Addiction - Irvine, California
Another person you could see in concert if you don't want to see Carlos Santana is Jason Mraz or the guys above.
All of you asked for more Joel McHale so here is more Joel. For those of you in Los Angeles, I saw that he is going to be at The Wiltern this month but I can't remember the day. That could also mean he is on tour if someone less lazy than me wants to look it up.
Kimberly Caldwell has done probably the most out of nothing. She barely finished in the Top 10 of Idol but has turned it into a career.
Leighton Meester just because for some unknown reason she added me as a Facebook friend last week.
Blake Lively, well the picture makes me think summer is almost here.
Calm the f**k down. Matthew M was invited to throw out the first pitch and you can just tell he wants to play in the damn game.
Most celebrities just go to a gifting suite and take pictures with stuff and walk out with the loot. Nina Dobrev though, shows why someone should hire her to endorse products. This scarf was a gift and she put it on. OK, that isn't that great, but better than posing with it in a box. But, wait, it gets better.
She actually went and completely changed clothes to put on the jeans from this company and found a shirt to wear with it. Everyone else just did what LuAnn did up at the top of the photos. Just held them, smiled and grabbed as many as they could stuff in a bag.
Selfridges in London had a unique promotion yesterday. Not sure what it was other than having half naked men riding the escalator.
Did you ever see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
I wonder if Rihanna and Pete Wentz ever hooked up?
Have you ever noticed that Reese Witherspoon always seems to go out to workout. To gyms, or running or to classes? You know she could afford to have someone come over, but she actually makes the effort. I admire that.
A first time appearance for S. Epatha Merkerson. Long overdue.
Tyra was on time.
What is Taylor Momsen's natural hair color anyway? Anyone know?

Sean Penn Decides To Keep Robin Wright Penn

Lets face it. The headline might seem a little harsh, but that is what it is. Sean Penn dismissed his legal separation papers today and apparently that means the couple has reconciled. Or, in other words, Robin Wright Penn has agreed to whatever demands Sean has imposed and is willing to accept them. At this point it probably means that he will just have several full-time hookers living with him so he doesn't have to bother going out. I'm sure he will want Robin to cook for all of them and do whatever else he needs to have done.

I don't understand this at all. He dismissed the papers which means he changed his mind. She should have been grateful to have him out the door, and instead she was probably begging for him to stay. I had been posting lots of photos this week of Robin to celebrate her new independence in Cannes and reigniting her own career and her own image. It seems like that was just a wasted of time as she is right back to being whatever it is that Sean wants her to be. Someone needs to have a chat with her.

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here - NBC Is Ruining It

I don't know if many of you even remember the first time I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here aired. It was on ABC and I thought it was the greatest show. All of these celebrities stuck out in the middle of an Australian jungle and the entire first episode all they did was bitch and complain because it wasn't what they were expecting. I think they were all expecting nice air conditioned trailers and that while the actual show was taping they would be brought out and be forced to sit in the elements for an hour.

The show aired back in 2003 and I was glued to the set every night in which it aired. The contestants were Cris Judd who had just got divorced from Jennifer Lopez. It was so interesting to see every celebrity on the show ask him a million questions just like any of us would. They wanted gossip. Melissa Rivers was on it and I remember her talking about her new boob job at the time and she and Nikki Ziering had a very long discussion about what size is a good size to get. John Melendez was on and that is what eventually got him the Tonight Show job. Other than Howard Stern listeners, no one knew who he actually was, and when they saw him, they liked him. Bruce Jenner was on and he was such a control freak and Tyson Beckford was on there and Robin Leach. Alana Stewart was on and also Downtown Julie Brown and Maria Conchita Alonso.

Even today you have heard of all these people, and probably would still find what they have to say interesting, especially when you put them all together in the Outback. Unfortunately no one really watched I guess and the show never aired again.

Every year it has aired in the UK, and I have wanted it back ever since. Well, now I finally got my wish, and they are basically ruining it before it even starts. The only saving grace to the show is that it will have Stephen Baldwin, who is in my mind the best celebrity reality contestant ever. Whatever you think of him personally, this is what he does best.

Speidi is going to be on the show which is a disaster. The only thing intriguing about that is if they will throw each other under a bus. Sanjaya is on the show. Why? Does anyone care what he has been doing? Was William Hung unavailable? How hard would it have been to get Clay Aiken? Ruben? Fantasia? Katharine McPhee? You don't think they are above taking a decent sized paycheck? John Salley is on it and he is a decent enough guy, but it is just going to be like watching paint dry. Janice Dickinson is on and she has been on the UK version. I just don't know who she is going to play against in this. For her to be funny and to work, she needs to find someone to rail against, and I don't see that person here. Maybe, maybe Heidi or Spencer.

Lou Diamond Phillips will be interesting, but only if he decides to flirt with Torrie Wilson. Otherwise I think he is going to sit in a corner and mumble about how he was in La Bamba once and that his wife left him for another woman.

And the final spot? The wife of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Seriously? You could have had Verne Troyer or anyone else from any Surreal Life episode and you pick her? Why? What is the point? Does NBC think that all the celebrities are going to have long, in depth discussions with her about politics?

And finally, to make the show even more unwatchable NBC brought in Mylene Klaas. Who you ask? Well, to be fair Mylene is a huge deal in the UK and hosts their version and is great at what she does, BUT, no one here knows her and they are paying her a salary like she is on the cover of People every week. They are paying her about $500,000 for a month's work to host this thing.

I had such high expectations when they announced the format was returning, and the way they have handled the casting is just atrocious and will result in some really low ratings and I doubt we will ever see the show again.

Michael Musto Blind Items - Lots And Lots

I don't even need to post any blind items today. Michael Musto has a ton. In his column yesterday he just kind of lumped them all together. Lucky for us, a reader was kind enough to break them all down and number them for easier guessing. Enjoy these. There are 40 of them.

(1) Which supposedly cleaned-up star was spotted at a hot West Village
restaurant, going to the bathroom about every five minutes to take care
of business? Anyone buying the weak bladder excuse?

(2) Which once-hot pop star can barely sing a note and needs mucho
enhancement in the studio, getting help from a songwriter who's also
vocally stepped in for that working-class rock band?

(3) Similarly, which famous young lady actually does the singing for
her more famous sister?

(4) Which quirky director who gives the wife a lot of work must be
doing so in exchange for some heavy bearding? (He's rumored to be one
of them there closet cases.)

(5) Which still-closety '70s superstar gets regular mansion visits from
a local gay promoter?

(6) Which TV starlet has freaked out from her (mid-level) success and
doesn't want people on the street to even look in when she's doing a
photo shoot in an establishment? Wouldn't she freak out even more if
they didn't look in?

(7) Which married actor is wildly flamboyant among friends and business
associates, but when he sits down with an interviewer or goes out in
public, he suddenly reins in the swishing and tries to pass for
straight? Who's buying it?

(8) Which French actor, who's now part of a franchise, is known=2
0for
having a "dick of fire"? (I.e., he can't seem to stick it in enough
orifices—all of them les girls', alas).

(9) Which trannie, poignantly enough, got a cut-rate sex change and
can't feel much of anything down there?

(10) Which belter is such a drinker that she had to be pushed onstage
for her entrance at that concert, after which she started singing eight
bars early, thereby throwing off the whole number (and, in fact, the
whole show)?

( 11) Which male Tony nominee for musicals is such an egomaniac that
people dread sitting at his end of the table?

(12) Which old-time crooner only does interviews via e-mail, so his
people can provide canned answers that are often verbatim repeats of
what they fed other publications?

(13) Which Brazilian hustler keeps his cash in his mattress rather than
report it to the authorities? (Not that I know any Brazilian hustlers,
mind you. I got this from a friend of a friend.)

(14) Which comeback chanteuse lost her lower register due to all those
times she took injections to get over health problems and/or exhaustion?

(15) What diva's light-skinned son strangely has trouble getting it up?

(16) Which semi-star was supposedly busted for posting anonymous
threads about how she was better in that hit show than the woman who
replaced her? Is it any wonder the semi-star was caught screaming,
"Noooo!" when her replacement won the big award?

(
17) Which erudite actor who's currently on the boards was seen—by
me—wiping his nose as he left the bathroom at Hiro? (Well, he had the
next day off.) Anyone buying the weak sinus excuse?

(18) Which well-chosen wife of a major star is so dumb she didn't know
that a drag performance she'd just seen was indeed a collection of
males in dresses? Does that explain why she married that husband?

(19) Which American author's birthplace studiously omits his
homosexuality from all materials and resents any attempt to get it
mentioned?

(20) Which author's birthplace doesn't?

(21) Which director supposedly got married to deflect accusations
(baseless, I'm sure) that he was sleeping with his young discovery?

(22) Which husband of that too-thin personality is a cheater (and a
beater, too, if you believe the horrid murmurs)?

(23) Which hubby didn't want to pose for photos with the wife at her
book party because, as he mouthed to her, "It's your book"? (Free
answer: Dean McDermott.)

(24) Which surprise Broadway star is a shameless womanizer who tried to
get a young lady who was auditioning for a part in his show to come
over and rehearse in private? When she couldn't find the time to do so,
how did he respond to her later request for tickets? (Angrily, I assure
you.)

(25) Which talented blonde stage star picks her nose as if burrowing
for gold and is fond of saying about job offer
s, "They can't afford
me"? Who turned down the illustrious chance to replace her? (Free
answers: Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, and Brittany Snow, for starters.
I guess they couldn't afford them.)

(26) Which screen legend would seem to be a great icon to get to know,
but at least one person who has done so reports, "Not so! She's boring
and needy!"?

(27) What biggie didn't talk to a stage co-star who happened to have
gotten even better reviews than she did?

(28) Who wrote that movie by dredging up her perspective on her sister
and other family situations, but told the press it was totally original?

(29) Which Oscar winner hides her head in her hand whenever she sees
me, even though we're fellow rabid liberals?

(30) Which teen idol could the character named "Zack" in Dance
Flick—you know, the one who sings the song about being a big
gay—possibly be based on?

Which legendary restaurant that was priced out of business is reopening
in a boutique hotel—this time, with a big stage, rather than have
performances on the counter? (Free answer: Florent.)

(31) Which Post gossip diva has written a Broadway show that I hear the
Weislers will bring to a really big stage?

And now, kindly hold your noses and prance down memory lane with me for
these far more vintage items:

(32) Which scriptwriter of two classic musicals once managed to solicit
a blowjob out of a you
ng lady auditioning for a revival, never
realizing she was a chick with a dick (not to mention a very good
friend of mine)?

(33) Which actor who once worked in a trannie bar slept with at least
one of the gals? (Again, I'm connected.)

(34) Which multi-octave superstar started out so rough and untrained
that she wouldn't bother to bathe and, at dinners, would turn to the
person next to her and demand things like, "Cut my meat"? (And no, this
has nothing to do with the discount sex-change item above.)

(35) Which superstar couple's run supposedly ended when she gave him
the gift of herpes? What kinds of kinky activities were the male half
of that duo into? (Free answer: fisting, to name just one earthly
delight. Yes, hetero fisting! I'm not making this shit up!)

(36) What always-acclaimed actress's marriage has lasted so long partly
because the non-bizzy husband turns a blind eye whenever she beds her
male co-stars?

(37) Which legend's first album was a hit by mistake? (On a budget,
they accidentally sped up the music, which made it all the more
danceable).

(38) Which ethnic multi-talent had a breakdown when her then-boyfriend
was arrested? (In fact, she threw herself on the prison floor and
started foaming at the mouth—a far better performance than anything
she's achieved on celluloid.)

(39) Which star of that cable phenomenon didn't thank her husband at
the Emmys because he20was fucking his female co-star on Broadway around
that time?

(40) Which lesbian singer did it with a man—once, from what I can
tell—and he reports that she just laid there, practically comatose? I
mean, can you blame her?

Mariah Carey Confuses Me

I understand that once you reach a certain level of fame and wealth that you enjoy having a stylist do your hair and makeup. Also, I understand the stylist is probably going to make you look better than you can do it yourself. I mean they are professionals and so they should make you look better. What I don't understand is how, if there is an emergency, how it is possible that you can't do your hair and makeup yourself. I am presuming that at some point throughout her life that Mariah Carey managed to do her own hair and makeup. In fact, I would say that probably even still, she is at an age where she has probably done her own hair and makeup for about half her life.

On Saturday, Mariah took to her Twitter, or at least had her assistant or her toy Nick Cannon do it and said, "I'm still in Cannes (with) a whole day and night of press events ahead of me and the hairdresser has abandoned me!"

Apparently the one she hired failed to show. Mariah's people found a new stylist, but I guess the one they found didn't speak English, and so she again turned to Twitter and said, "OK, so he got me someone else but he doesn't speak English at all, so I'm hoping for the best... Whhhhhhyyyyyyy!"

Because of this drama, Mariah and Nick were a fashionable three hours late for a party to celebrate her new movie. The question I have to ask is why? Is she that incompetent that she couldn't manage to do her own hair and makeup? Is this is a skill that you forget? Instead of trusting a complete stranger, wouldn't it have been more wise to just do it yourself? Has she become so entitled that she would refuse to go out in public rather than just do it on her own?

All she has done by showing up three hours late and with this awful reason is just show the world that no matter what, and that no matter if producers and guests were expecting her to be on time, that her personal needs have to come first. It isn't like she even looks that great when a professional spends hours on her, so I doubt she could do much damage on her own. Do your hair, throw on some makeup and squeeze into one of her teenage hooker outfits and she is ready to go. It is this kind of inability to see beyond the mirror or think of anyone else that I really despise the most about celebrity entitlement.

Bring George Clooney A Drink And He Will Date You

I drink a lot. I'm guessing I probably spend more time drinking than George Clooney. How is it that when I go drinking and hit on cocktail waitresses they call a bouncer or the cops, and when George Clooney hits on them they become his girlfriend. Yeah, I know the answer. It's because I drive my parent's mini-van.

Anyway, as you will recall George's last girlfriend was cocktail waitress Sarah Larson, who he met in Vegas, and now he is dating a Miami cocktail waitress and a model-wannabe Lucy Wolvert. I'm guessing at some point the whole wannabe model thing is going to turn into wannabe actress and that she will reach the 9 minute fame mark of her predecessor. I say 9 minutes because I think Sarah Larson has another 6 minutes left in her of her fame window. I don't think we have heard the last of her yet and that she will make one more comeback into our collective consciousness.

Of course George, being the quiet kind of guy he is wanted his new girlfriend to keep things quiet. Yeah, like that is going to happen. According to US Weekly she has pretty much told everyone she knows that she is dating George. She probably also thinks it will last.

I think, but I am not sure that Lucy is the former girlfriend of Landon Lueck who was on The Real World Philadelphia. I believe the picture I found is Landon and Lucy. Lucy is the woman on the far right.

Follow Up To Some Crime Stories

It seemed like a few months ago there were all these crazy crimes that were happening all over the world, and in the past few weeks there has been some resolution to at least two if them.

Do you remember the Lebanese singer Suzanne Tamim who was killed in her apartment in Dubai because she was leaving her lover? Well, an Egyptian court sentenced her former boyfriend, Hisham Talaat Moustafa and retired police officer Mohsen al-Sukkari to death by hanging. Her boyfriend ordered the killing while the police officer is the one who actually carried it out.

Her family said, "We have full faith in the Egyptian judicial system and we are awaiting the final ruling. The family is all gathered and we are following this closely."

The final ruling to which the family refers is the fact that the sentence must be approved by the mufti, which is an interpreter of Islamic law. This was such a tragedy.

The other case which has some resolution involves the 17 year old girl who ran away to Brazil to be with her boyfriend and then he killed her, cut her up, and put her in a suitcase. He did this because she was going to tell his parents about his drug use. For his part, he revealed that he only wanted to be with Cara Maria Burke so he could get permission to live in the UK. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison for her death. After killing her while high on crack, he sent a text message to a friend saying, 'the b**** is in the bag', accompanied by a smiley face.

Ben Widdicombe Blind Item

Which (straight) male designer had a major hissy fit with the security of New York's SoHo Grand Hotel on Saturday night when he was denied access to a V.I.P. party happening in the penthouse?

A Little Creeped Out?

The NY Post had an interesting little blurb about the Maxim 100 party last week in Santa Monica. Yes, the same party that didn't have many of the people that Maxim put in their top 100 including number one and number two. Ha. I just made a bathroom joke and wasn't even trying. Anyway, speaking of bathrooms, Brandon Davis was at the party. He came alone. The NY Post tried to make it sound sad, by saying, "Brandon came totally alone, without any friends, and was just following people around the party."

Awww. Do you feel sorry for Brandon? Me neither. I mean someone invited the guy so he has that going for him. Plus, if he didn't want to come by himself he could have stayed at home and played Clue or something with his brother Jason.

Anyway, so the Post continues by saying, "He was sweating and roaming the red carpet and kept following Kim Kardashian and her sisters around. Everyone was a little creeped out."

Well, I'm creeped out too. Ohhhh. They meant everyone was creeped out by Brandon following people around. I thought they meant everyone was creeped out that someone would actually want to follow the Kardashian sisters around all night. I could totally see someone being creeped out by the thought of wanting to hang out with the sisters. Brandon Davis creeping someone out is kind of par for the course.

Oh, and the picture above is not from the other night. It is just a sweating Brandon hanging out with Kim on a completely different night.

Kate Walsh Divorce Isn't Pretty

This is turning out to be one of the meanest nastiest divorces in a very long time. All I can say is I am glad there are no kids involved. The divorce between Kate Walsh and Alex Young has pretty much been nasty from day one and is a wonderful reminder on why love should be a part of any of your marriage plans. As many divorces as I have been through, none were this bitter. Oh sure there was some dishware broken, but since I obtained most of it with a fill up of the gas tank it really wasn't that big of a deal. Apparently though, despite the fact that Mr. Young makes a very good living, he seems to be upset with the information that Kate has shared with him about her finances acquired during the marriage.

He thinks she is hiding a whole bunch of money. Now, they were only married like 14 months and it seems like probably 13 of those were not happy times. I'm guessing Alex learned real quick why couches are called couches and not beds. How much money could she have earned in 14 months? If you are Alex Young, trying to get half of Kate's money for the year is probably better than the Christmas bonus he got, and in this economy you will take what you can get.

Alex has decided that the person who can give him the answer is the President of Disney/ABC Television. Might as well go for the top if you can get it. This seems more for publicity though because I'm guessing some guy in payroll can probably answer the same question. However, the guy in payroll does not get you a spot in TMZ.

I wish this case wasn't focusing so much on the money because there is so much more to discover that goes way beyond money. That is what I want in some court documents.

American Idol - Discuss ***Spoilers***

I managed to make it an entire season of not watching American Idol. I'm pretty pleased with myself. Of course all that pat on the back goodness will come to an end when I am glue to my damn television on Tuesday to watch Tori and Dean launch another season. I know, I know, but I'm addicted to the damn show. I can't help it.

Anyway, as I am sure you know by now, Adam Lambert, the guy who put guy in guyliner failed in his bid to win this year. It seemed a foregone conclusion almost from week one that he was going to win, but America likes to keep it safe. When it comes down to it, it really doesn't matter who wins. Sure, this year it was Kris Allen, but it doesn't mean success. Hello Taylor Hicks. Yep, that was your career calling you. The top 4 or 5 finalists usually get record deals and they all get them with the same company that signs the winner. The only real difference is that the winner is guaranteed a contract and the rest have to hold their breath. I'm guessing by the time you read this, Adam will have already exhaled. They are under the same restrictive management deal and will have the same songwriters and everything else. So, no matter who you wanted to win, they both will get their shot at fame and fortune.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which top model was dismissed from her agency - all because she became a Scientologist?

Today's Blind Items - Even More Cannes

For once this week it will not be about our B list actress. She really is a mess though. Not like Tara Reid kind of messy, but still, a mess. Anyway, for today, I guess it is a kindness. It might just be good manners. B list movie actor. He did the whole popcorn flick thing and it didn't work out so he is back to the co-lead or second lead in movies. He is definitely a dramatic looking guy. He doesn't really have that comedy vibe. So, he and his girlfriend I guess you would call her had been out and about doing what 20 somethings will do and apparently his girlfriend had a bit too much to drink. So much so that while they were in the taxi, his girlfriend decided to basically puke everywhere in that back seat. Truly awful. Needless to say the driver was not pleased. However, he was more pleased after our actor agreed to help him clean out the taxi and even gave the driver a $1000 tip.

Los Angeles Writer Needed

On June 11, Michael Douglas is going to receive the AFI Lifetime Achievement award. Obviously there will be lots and lots of people there to honor him. It should be a huge red carpet event, and I need a writer to cover the event for CDAN. If you can drag along a photographer that would be great also. June 11th is a Thursday, so please bear that in mind when sending me e-mails. Secondly, you would need to be at the event from 4p-7p. If you are interested, please send me an e-mail. entlawyer90210@yahoo.com

You need to e-mail me by Monday at the latest so I can choose someone. And yes, I will have press credentials for the two people.

Random Photos Part One

It's the missing link. How could I not put the missing link on the top of the photos. I always thought it was Denise Richards, but apparently I was wrong and some kind of lemur is the missing link. Can you believe this was sitting in some guy's garage for like 20 years?
Every few months 50 Cent and Bette Midler do this charity thing together, and every few months I always wonder if maybe they donate to each other's charity if you know what I mean.
Seriously? If It were father's day I would say this is what happens when you have six kids who buy you gifts and you try and wear them all at once. I would have also accepted,"hey honey. How can I make this outfit look even more god awful?" "Wear a pinkie ring."

A first time appearance for Beth Riesgraf. I want to apologize to Beth for having to put her right after that photo of Brad Pitt or as he likes to call himself, "Captain Douchtastic."
"I can't take it anymore!!! I slept with the PC guy."
Ed Helms and Heather Graham's new breasts.
Eminem - Detroit
Two very funny guys who apparently have a tough time keeping their eyes open when the camera flashes. George Lopez and Bill Engvall.
Holly Hunter is one stomach flu away from looking like the missing link.
Jane Kaczmarek & someone I haven't seen in awhile Nancy Travis.
As skinny as Kyra Sedgwick is, she still seems to be about the size of two Holly Hunters.
Michael Buble - Los Angeles
Mary McCormack getting some free stuff.
The cast of Melrose Place, minus of course the worst actress in the cast (probably), but the biggest star, at least in her mind, Ashlee Simpson.
Michael Vartan looks like he gets new ink every time I see his picture.
If you have ever had a fantasy about Ryan Gosling moving your furniture, now is your chance to get a really good mental image.
The randomness of the day includes Scott Bakula, Ray Romano and Andre Braugher.
I actually like Taylor Swift. I wish she would stop doing the whole Jennifer Lopez eye thing, but I do like her and think she is talented.
Obviously the Dodgers, by assigning the number they did agree with the contribution Whitney Port makes to society. On a side note, I'm thinking the over under on getting those jeans on was about 15 minutes.
Will and Jada. I just feel like I have to when they show up somewhere.
Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper. Oh, and a chicken. Because, you know. Well, umm. I don't know.

John Mayer Is A Tool

I don't like John Mayer. I never have and I never will. I know lots of you love him and love his music and you are more than welcome to him. I'm sure there are lots of people I like that you don't like. But, what I am hoping we can agree on is that when someone writes something like this on their Twitter, that basically they are just begging to be called a tool. I would use rougher language, but, I haven't had a drink yet. If I had written this post after about 3pm, then, well, he would be called a lot worse.

"I love how some dudes hate me for dating their fantasy girl, as if they were going to if I hadn't."

John thinks that the "dudes" are probably jealous. I think the "dudes" are just wondering why their objects of desire would be willing to debase and degrade themselves by dating a tool who will tell one and all exactly what he thought of the woman he was dating, even to the point of doing so while dating her. They will wonder why the object of their affection settled for something so low and couldn't raise the bar a little higher in their search for a guy. I don't think any of the "dudes" think they are likely to date their fantasy girl, they just would like to think that the woman they admire would have a little more taste and class than John Mayer has.

I also think that John taunting the "dudes" just shows us what a bunch of class he has. He basically is saying that everyone who is not him is a loser. That "everyday people" have no chance of ever dating one of the women he has dated. To me, that is the biggest form of a-holery around. I also find it very interesting to note than none of the women John Mayer goes out with do so for very long. I wonder why that is.

Ann Curry Gives Up Journalism. Wants To Be Brad Pitt Groupie

In one of the most fawning interviews ever recorded, Ann Curry of The Today Show basically just lets Brad Pitt do whatever Brad Pitt wants to do and just seems grateful that he is talking to her. After the interview she even Twittered that she got to touch his face. Who the hell Twitters that kind of thing? A fan for sure. A reporter? Not so much. She didn't ask him about the truly awful reviews his movie is getting and how it might be one of the biggest bombs ever. Oh, and the bad reviews are not just about the movie either. It is being called the worst acting job of Brad Pitt's career. Did Ann talk about any of that? Of course not. Ann just talks about what she wants to do after she figures out how to get rid of Angelina and have Brad all to herself.

NBC should be embarrassed.

Kate Gosselin & Octo -Mom Agree On Something

OK, this has to stop. I know it does, but I just can't help myself. Everyday I find myself being outraged by something else Kate Gosselin has said or done and it just makes me want to write. US Weekly spoke with a former nurse who cared for the sextuplets for almost a year. She says that in the three months prior to hiring her, Kate had fired 40 different nurses and nurse-aids. You know what? I'm not going to give her a hard time about that one. This nurse who gave the interview stayed for a year, so I'm guessing Kate was just trying to find the right one.

The thing that ticked me off is that this nurse worked for Kate prior to the TLC show starting and Jon was out of work and so there was no money to pay the nurse. So, Kate did what Nadya Suleman did and looked to the government to help her out. Why? Oh, I know all of you will love this as much as me.

"Kate Gosselin said she feels society has a responsibility to help with the children, since modern medicine promotes the use of fertility drugs, which can lead to multiple births," the AP reported.

OK. So, because science has made it possible for you to have six kids at once, somehow it is the responsibility of the government to pay for it? Science also has promoted breast implants and fuel efficient cars, but you don't see me asking for the government to pay for them.

That is some of the most messed up logic ever. Oh, and despite having absolutely no money, Kate was still ungrateful for a very generous gift provided from the members of her father's church. Kate's dad is a pastor and his parishioners donated six cribs to Kate and Jon. Kate sent them all back. Why? They didn't match. Nice huh?

How ungrateful can one person be? If I had six kids and no money I think I would be thankful for just about everything that came my way. At this point, I'm not sure Kate even sees her kids as kids and not as money making objects to keep her wealthy. In their article, US says that Kate has been gone from home 21 of the past 30 days on paid speaking engagements. That sure is a lot of alone time for her and the bodyguard. So, was Jon watching the kids?

Apparently Kelly Rutherford's Husband Can't Use The Bathroom Properly

In one of the most bizarre family court filings of which I have ever heard, Kelly Rutherford requested a judge keep her soon to be ex-husband from potty training their two year old son. According to TMZ, no reason was given for the request which had other requests in it about making a pool safe and secure. I understand the part about the pool. You don't want your child to accidentally drown. I do wonder if it is the same home she and her soon to be ex shared while they were married and why she didn't think it was important to keep it secure at that time, but I am more concerned about the potty training part.

So, when the dad is visiting with his son, he is supposed to what, only keep him in diapers? What if the boy wants to go and use the bathroom? Is the dad supposed to say no, because the judge says you can't? Does the dad have some kind of bizarre toilet training habits like letting the kid run around naked peeing in the corner like Verne Troyer or that recent blind item I posted? Maybe the dad sits on the toilet when he goes number #1 and Kelly doesn't want that, or the other way around? This is so confusing.

Does Kelly just want to be able to claim that she was the one who potty trained her son? I am just really curious as to know the why. Does anyone have any good idea why a dad wouldn't be able to help, and how on earth this is even possible to implement.

Gwyneth Paltrow Blind Item #2

Apparently Gwyneth wants to get into the gossip game. Oh, I'm sure she says that all tabloids and gossip sites are trash, but she sure does spill it when it serves her own purpose and gets her publicity. In her latest attempt at being the next gossip queen, Gwyneth gives us this blind item. The way she phrases this sounds like she has been with someone who was married at the time doesn't it?


"When I was much younger I was involved with somebody where they weren't married but were into drugs and alcohol... I was obsessed with why this person wasn't showing up.

"I was raised by people who made me feel really good about myself. I still got caught up in this thing of, 'What's wrong with me? Why isn't this turning out the way I want?'"

Do They Have Homes Or Not?

I am very, very confused. I keep hearing from all the producers and big shots who helmed Slumdog Millionaire that the children are taken care of and they have a place to live and their school is paid for and blah, blah, blah. But, then I read the story last week about one of the kids having his shanty torn down and then yesterday Rubina Ali had her home torn down. Rubina was my favorite in the movie, so this really ticks me off. In addition, her father is in the hospital because he was beaten so badly by the police when he tried to stop them from tearing down his home.

I think it is time for answers. There needs to be a press conference or an interview given to a member of the media who can ask the right questions and not just ask what kind of shampoo the producers use. Someone needs to sit down with graphs or charts and tell us exactly what they have done for these kids and when, and how come the kids are now homeless and are still wearing the clothes they wore three months ago.

The producers need one voice explaining what they have done. Right now I hear this and I hear that, but the kids keep living crappy lives. There are millions of kids like the Slumdog kids, and if rich Hollywood producers and executives aren't willing to help these few children, how on earth are any of the other similar millions going to get help?

I am actually disgusted now at the Slumdog producers and executives. They think it will all just go away, but it won't. One of them needs to take responsibility and stop passing the buck. One of them needs to go to India. Rent a house or a bunch of hotel rooms and put the kids there. They need to make sure the kids go to school. How difficult is it for one of these guys to go there and do that? The thing is they don't want to anymore because there is nothing in it for them except goodwill. They don't want goodwill, they want money, awards and fame which is why they said all they said before.

Michael Jackson Already Canceling Shows

I'm guessing that Michael Jackson already received a good portion of the money he stands to earn over his seven months he will be playing in London. The problem for promoters is they had to give him something or he would just walk away. Now though, because they have given him so much in advance he probably doesn't feel like playing or that he needs to. Even though his first concert is not for almost two months, Michael has already postponed the first five dates. Apparently he won't be ready by mid-July. Umm, he has been allegedly practicing for months and still has two more to go, so this is not a good sign for those of you who have tickets. Does anyone truly honestly believe he will perform every show over the 7 months? I say he will do at most, half of them.

I am posting the official statement from the promoters about the postponements because I have a feeling we will be seeing a variety of such statements over the next 9 months. Grab a medical dictionary if you have one at home, because Michael is probably going to run through everything they have in there by the time he is finished.

"Due to the sheer magnitude of the This Is It concerts at the O2 Arena, promoters and producers AEG Live and Kenny Ortega, Michael's directorial partner and creative collaborator, have elected to move back a few of the opening shows in order to meet the challenges presented by such a massive and technically complex show.
"Organisers are determined that all Michael's legions of fans attending the opening nights get the same quality of staging and level of entertainment.
"Kenny and Michael are, at the same time, both creative pioneers and perfectionists. This show has grown in size and scope, thereby, necessitating more lead time for manufacture of the set, programming the content for the massive video elements, and, most importantly, more time for full production and dress rehearsals in the world's busiest arena, the O2.
"As much as we agonised over this change in the original schedule, we are sure the fans will understand when they experience the level of entertainment Michael Jackson intends to deliver while also ensuring the safety of the musicians, cast and crew and the crisp execution of the production."
Choreographer Ortega adds, "After directing the Dangerous and HIStory tours, I know what the fans expect and myself and the team want to deliver a flawless production. We apologise to all disappointed Michael Jackson fans and remain extremely dedicated and focused on creating an exceptional live music experience."

Whatever.

Mel Gibson's Future Mother-In-Law Follows The Party Line

Mel Gibson's future mother-in-law surely has figured out who is going to be putting the butter on her bread so to speak. In an interview with People Magazine, Lyudmila Chernukha says that her daughter is not a home wrecker. Well, unless you are a really nasty parent you probably are not going to admit to a tabloid that your daughter wrecked a marriage. For the record I don't think Oksana Grigorieva wrecked the marriage. I think Mel Gibson did. I'm guessing Oksana came along at some point and may have given it a little push, but Mel probably did a fine job of wrecking things on his own.

As you know Mel has said in his court filings that he and his wife split up in October 2006. He did so to avoid having to split an even huger pile of money. Guess what? Lyudmila, without any prompting says that Mel broke up with his wife in 2006. Wow. She just threw that in there out of nowhere.

"He split up with his wife three years ago, so to suggest that she has broken up their marriage is rubbish," she says. "He was no longer with his wife so he was bound to meet some woman at some point, it just happened to be Oksana."

I like how she has firmly jumped aboard this train. Can you imagine that she gave the very same answer that Mel wants her to give? I'm guessing maybe that dear mom has some talking points to help her along with all of this. People, being the butt kissers they are didn't ask her about the house Mel had bought her daughter. I would love to see that answer. Think she wasn't coached? You might want to think again after this next quote. When asked about the possibility of Oksana being pregnant, Lyudmila said, "I can't say anything. Wait for the official statement from them."

Whoever coached her deserves a raise. I will say though that her non denial denial does sound like Oksana is pregnant. If the answer were no, she would just say Nyet. Instead though, she said wait for the official statement. Mel probably told her that if she spilled the beans, there wouldn't be a part in Lethal Weapon 5 for her.

Где, черт ближайший бар, мне нужно выпить.

Movie News - Lots Of Movie News

I generally don't post movie news unless it is something big, but there just seems to be so much of it yesterday and today that I thought, what the hell, might as well.

Footloose - I'm not so sure they needed a remake, but as bad as Kenny Loggins looked last week, I figured what the hell, and give him a chance to maybe make a buck or two. I'm not saying they will be using his old songs, but they might throw him a bone and let him cut a new track for the movie. The lead in this thing was originally supposed to go to Zac Efron, but he decided that he would much rather fade into obscurity that much quicker and so took a pass. So, in second place comes the official signing of Chace Crawford who I think is actually a much better choice. He is a little edgier than Zac, and Kevin Bacon was not exactly some goody goody in his portrayal. In disturbing news about the movie it is being rumored that the female lead is going to go to Miley Cyrus. Yeah, that is the way to destroy it quickly. Lori Singer was sooo not Miley Cyrus. Worst casting decision. Ever. The only thing that could possibly make that decision pale in comparison would be if they let Miley record the title track. Oh, and if they let Billy Ray play the father.
Ghostbusters 3 - Dan Aykroyd sat down for an interview with the LA Times this week and said that Ghostbusters 3 should start filming this winter. The entire original cast, including Sigourney Weaver is now on board. I know Sigourney had been holding out, but honestly, I don't think at this stage in her very illustrious career she should be thinking of passing on a movie which will be guaranteed to break $100M at the box office. The big holdup though appears to have been Bill Murray, or as Dan calls him, "Billy." Billy boy owns 20% of the concept and had been reluctant to do a third installment. Probably because he has been working regularly while Dan hangs out at The House Of Blues and wonders if he can somehow figure out how to make another Blues Brothers movie. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Dan Aykroyd. I'm the only person I know who can watch Dr. Detroit more than once a year. One thing I don't like about the movie is that the idea is supposed to be a passing of the torch. The original characters will only be in it for a short while and then pass it off to, for now a group of female Ghostbusters. Dan likes Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku. At this point I guess I will take what I can get and hope for the best.
Zoolander 2 - The folks over at /film had a little chat with Ben Stiller about the possibility of a Zoolander sequel. I liked the original a lot. It was right on that dividing line between good and painful and so it worked. I'm not so sure they could pull of that balancing act again. /film agrees with me to the point they don't think the world is ready. This is not something that is close to happening so don't get your hopes up. The movie would take place about 10 years in the future with Ben's character running a modeling school and raising a kid. Meh. Sounds like almost any sitcom any day of the week on tv. Just substitute modeling school owner for some other job.
Twilight 4 - In probably the least surprising movie news of the day, Robert Pattinson took the time while at Cannes to share the news with the world that there will be a fourth installment of the Twilight series. Shocker I know. I mean, they are filming 2 and 3 right now, so I think anyone could have guessed they are going to go the whole way with this thing.

Today's Blind Items - More Cannes

I hope you read the post from yesterday because today involves the very same actress. Our actress is involved with a much older man who likes to have a variety from which to choose each night. At the present time he has two women he pays for and our actress. The two women are both considerably older than our actress and are much more experienced. One of the two women who is bought enjoys pain but our actress does not get involved in anything but watching it be administered. In addition to taking care of her benefactor, our actress is also expected to spend some, umm alone time with the other bought woman. It is amazing what a drug habit will do to once very strong morals. I smell rehab very, very soon.

Random Photos Part One

One of the great events in LA every year is when the Shakespeare Festival LA holds its annual Simply Shakespeare. It's basically Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson and whatever people they can find to do one of Shakespeare's plays. This year they performed "The Comedy Of Errors." In this photo is Peter Graves, Eugene Levy, Christina Applegate, Tom Hanks, and Martin Short. The woman on the far left whom you can barely see is Alanis Morissette. So, America Young went to this last night and said it was absolutely incredible and completely sold out as you would expect. She said that everyone was great, but that the best actor was Christina Applegate, and Martin Short stole every scene he was in.
Kelsey Grammar, Shirley Jones, and Tom Hanks.
Anne Hathaway does plain Jane very well.
For a second there I almost thought Hugh Dancy was wearing velvet, and for her, Claire Danes actually looks happy.

David Boreanaz waiting for his wife to finish picking up free stuff at some gifting suite. At least they gave him water. Notice the time perfected male skill of watching the purse which he does so well.
This could be a first time appearance for Deborah Norville in the photos.
Not so for Emily Deschanel who I would put in the photos everyday if she would go out everyday.

One of my favorites, Jane Lynch.
Another favorite, and although it doesn't seem possible, I believe this is Joel McHale's first appearance in the photos.
I can't help it. I am fascinated by Kiera Chaplin. She is someone I want to get drunk with and listen to her stories.
Sometimes you just think Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are too perfect. No one can be that perfect can they? I want them to be, but it just seems too damn perfect.
Lynda Carter still looks great.

He's the guy who did this. Yeah. I watched Man On Wire, and although the actual movie is like a really bad episode of America's Most Wanted, the pictures of him walking between the World Trade Towers will amaze you.
Rihanna goes out yet again, and looks a little tired as a result.
Renee Zellweger looks the same as always. Even she looks bored.
Shia LaBeouf and his lady love. Mom.
Sienna Miller certainly looks happy.
Because I know you have been wanting to catch up with Suzanne Vega.

I Can't Believe They Said That

It is one thing for you or me or all of our friends to sit around and say that so and so is just dating someone to become more famous or to get some money, but I can't remember ever seeing it printed in a tabloid or a magazine. Until now.

In the UK Star, they have an article that talks about how Michelle Ryan and Jason Segel are an item and does the whole thing you always see about them at dinner and only having eyes for each other and into each other, and blah, blah, blah. The story is the same just exchange whatever people you want to put into the story. Oh, and they also kissed and did the whole couldn't keep their hands off each other thing. You have seen it and read it a million times. What makes this article completely different and what made even bother to write about them is this lovely quote at the end of the article from a "source."

"Jason is very in demand at the moment - regardless of how much she likes him personally, this is definitely going to help Michelle make a name for herself in the States."

Um wow. Did they just say that? So, this source is saying that Michelle is just doing this for the publicity? It might or might not be true but you don't actually see it ever printed. I have to give Star some credit for sticking it out there even if not true just to shake up the standard dinner and love story. Michelle of course was Bionic Woman and that totally flopped and Michelle was not universally loved on the set. I just have always got the impression though that she doesn't really give a crap if she is popular here or anywhere and is just happy acting. I also don't think that Jason Segel can help boost her career publicity wise. He might be able to get her into some movies, but he is not Mr. Tabloid and no one is going to be stalking his house to get their latest picture together so I think his effect will be limited. But, still it made for a nice little change of pace to the otherwise stale dinner romance stories.

Sherlock Holmes Trailer

Want to see Rachel McAdams handcuff Robert Downey Jr. to a bed? Well, then you probably want to watch the trailer of the new Sherlock Holmes movie. Oh, and the rest of the movie looks really good as well. I just got distracted by the site of Rachel in that corset.

More Bus Driving From Kevin & Jodi Kreider

In Part 3 of their interview with RADAR, Kevin & Jodi Kreider, who are respectively Kate Gosselin's brother and sister-in-law say that Kate handed Jon a contract which said he could date and sleep with whomever he wished as long as he showed up for filming of their reality show. The contract laid out what days Jon could go out with other people and what days he was expected to be home and working.

Jodi, who takes what appears great joy in making Kate as miserable as possible says that the couple would do anything to keep the ruse of family going because they are making so much money showing off their perfect family life. But, on the inside it is a "train wreck."

Now, normally these kinds of statements and allegations are made by "sources," and so you don't know if they are real or not. In this case you have someone who was actually in the house and part of the show. Is Jodi bitter she isn't in the show and isn't making bucks off it? Of course she is, but she also seems to be speaking the truth at least to the extent she doesn't seem afraid of being sued for what she is saying. Meanwhile I guess Jon and Kate are going to just continue ignoring the story and so is TLC. Their ratings are going to be through the roof when the show starts its new season and they probably won't deal with any of this until after the season or until after Jon or Kate gets caught in some kind of scandal. Just remember that none of this would have probably come out if Jon had not got photographed with Deanna Hammer. Otherwise we would all be blissfully unaware of what really has been going on inside that house.

Patrick Swayze Is Not Dead

Do you know how much it must suck to be probably dying of terminal cancer and to have news outlets and tabloids say you are dead. It happened to Patrick Swayze this morning. A Jacksonville Florida radio station announced that Swayze had died and then it spread like wildfire from there. So, Swayze's spokesperson had to deny that Patrick was dead. So, you are Patrick Swayze and you are probably not feeling well this morning and it isn't because you couldn't find the remote control and were forced to watch Roadhouse on a 24 hour loop. Your publicist calls and says some radio station says you are dead. I hate the death watch game. I have said it before. I just don't like all the tabloids that say someone is days from death or so and so says their final goodbyes. All they are doing is predicting the death of someone and they hope it happens that week they make those headlines so it makes them look like geniuses. Just let someone enjoy their life, and celebrate them after they are gone. Don't wait like vultures just so you can say you were first. Whoo hoo! We were first to report someone died.

Holly Madison Has A Terrible Agent Or Is An Exhibitionist

So, you know that Las Vegas show starring Mel B and Kelly Monaco? Yeah, PEEPSHOW. The one where everyone but Mel and Kelly are topless. Yeah, the same show that Lindsay Lohan said she would do if the money was right. Please. They would never hire her. Anyway, Holly Madison is going to be replacing Kelly when her run ends in the show and she goes back to doing whatever it is she did before. It is nice to see though that there is a life for people after they appear on Dancing With The Stars.

Let me ask you this. Who is the more popular person? Kelly Monaco or Holly Madison? I would say that more people know Holly by a two to one margin. So, it would stand to reason that if she is going to be in this show, she is going to be a very big draw. People will want to see her in person way more than they wanted to see Kelly Monaco. Then how is it that the only way Holly got hired was if she was willing to dance topless in the show? Kelly didn't have to, but Holly does? I bet she isn't even getting paid any extra. In whatever negotiations took place, Holly's side must have caved quickly. Or, maybe Holly just likes to show off. It is entirely possible and it must be months since she got to show the world her naked body in Playboy.

It is also interesting that Carmen Electra just signed on to do a show at Crazy Horse Paris, also in Vegas and she isn't having to go topless. She isn't going to wear much more than that, but didn't have to go topless. No one is but Holly. Time for her to get a new agent.

Gwyneth Paltrow vs Scarlett Johansson - Who Do You Pick?

According to The Sun, Gwyneth and Scarlett have not been getting along at all on the set of Iron Man 2. So, this leads to a very important question. In a fight between Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson who do you think would win? That would be a tough call. An even tougher call would be who would you actually support in the fight? Personally, neither one of them are very high up on the I love them list, but I guess I would have to pull for Scarlett. Right? I mean they are both uptight, and self pretentious. Scarlett stiffed the winner of that charity thing who spent a ton of money to meet her. But, on the other hand Gwyneth annoys us all every month with her newsletter and trying to scam people into a health club membership.

Scarlett is married to Ryan Reynolds, who although an ass in his own right, does make some good movies. Gwyneth is married to Chris Martin, who although an ass in his own right, does make some good Karaoke worthy songs.

Gwyneth has kids, so you really need to think about supporting the mom. Plus, her dad died so that is a little sympathy vote there. Of course if she and Brad Pitt had not broken up we would never have been faced with the never ending saga of Jen and Brangelina so that is major points against Gwyneth. It is an interesting dilemma. I actually think Gwyneth would win a fistfight between the two. As for public opinion. God that is close, but I think more people would actually side for Gwyneth as sad as that sounds. What do you think?

Kevin Spacey & Colin Firth To Make Academy Award Winner

Have you ever read about a movie, and said to yourself, "you know, I'm not sure I really want to see this movie, but I can tell it will probably win a lot of awards, and while people will be talking about the symbolism of the movie and how it relates to man's struggle against the world, all I will want to talk about is whether they are going to release an unrated version of Van Wilder 3."

Yeah, well maybe that is just me. I read in Variety this morning that Kevin Spacey and Colin Firth are going to film an adaptation of George Orwell's book Homage To Catalonia. It's a period piece so that makes Oscar voters pee themselves. Plus, it takes place in war time which they love. Finally, the book was written by George Orwell, who is always a big vote getter because half the Academy thinks they had to read a book by the guy in high school so he must be good. If you could throw a mentally challenged kid into it you would have a landslide of awards.

It is also the kind of film that no one ever goes to see. I love Colin Firth and Kevin Spacey, but do you want to see a movie that tells of Orwell and his wife Eileen's real-life story as they traveled to Barcelona to battle Stalinism. Orwell went on to fight with the Anarchist brigade and participate in the Spanish Civil War.

Specifically the film will focus on Orwell's relationship with brigade commander Georges Kopp.

It isn't that I don't love movies that make you think or challenge you. I just wonder who is actually going to see this movie. It is going to cost a fortune to make as they will be shooting in many countries and have the salaries of Kevin and Colin and will probably not come close to making its money back. I just think with the money you are spending you could make 30-40 just as important films and give many more people an opportunity.

Jessica Biel Makes Me Laugh And Laugh And Laugh

Apparently Jessica Biel is the hotness. I know, I know. And do you know how I know? She told me. Well, she didn't actually tell me personally. No, she actually decided to tell the world. In an interview this month for Allure Magazine whatever reporter had the assignment asked Jessica if her good looks are hurting her career.

Now, I'm not sure what the appropriate response to that question is, but I do know it isn't the one that makes you look like a self centered every ten second mirror watcher.
"Yeah, it really is a problem. I have to be blunt." Well, I have to be blunt also Jessica. First of all you are not that great looking. There are sooo many people better looking than you. You are not ugly, but you are not drop dead, give away all my money and get four jobs to be with you gorgeous. Second of all, it has less to do with your looks and more to do with a little something called acting. Say it with me. It is what you are supposed to be doing when the director says action and that thing called a camera starts whirring. You don't do it very well. I'm sure you think you do it well, but the sad fact is, you don't.

Jessica disagrees with my assessment of course. Hell, she probably thinks she should have won countless awards by now instead of having movie after movie go straight to DVD or bombing in the theatre.

"I'm in there with everybody else, fighting for the good parts. Yes, The Illusionist has made a difference -- but a huge, massive difference, so I can pick and choose what I want? No. I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, don't hire me! But if you don't want to even see me -- that's hurtful. And why? You know nothing about me!"

The Illusionist made a difference? Well after Powder Blue and whatever that disaster you filmed with Jake G gets thrown in the trash you can kiss that imaginary help goodbye. The thing is Jessica, everyone wants an audition. The only reason you get any is because of your perceived good looks and your celebrity status. You caught a lucky break getting hired for a long running television series and as a result got some exposure. There are thousands of better actresses out there than you and they want the same roles as you. They want to be seen also. Instead though, the casting director is forced to spend time with you because you have good agents and management and so if they say no, the other clients of that agent and manager who they really do want will always say no. So, they spend time with you and they say, "oh you are so good, but just too beautiful for this role?" Please. Get a life. Oh, which incidentally sounds like she won't ever be marrying Justin Timberlake. "I have no idea if I want to get married. I have a lot to do careerwise." It's good to have goals.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which SAG Award-winning actor has pals ship him marijuana in hollowed-out candles when he's working out of town?

Today's Blind Items

This B list television actress on a very hit network drama is in Cannes. Hey, at least I narrowed it down for you. I mean how many could there be? Well, it seems our actress got VERY lucky. How lucky? Well our actress was apparently spotted receiving a large quantity of white powder from a male acquaintance. The person who spotted this reported it to the police, who decided to raid our actresses' hotel room. All this for coke? Anyway, after a 30 minute search with a drug sniffing dog, nothing was found. Yeah, well they should have come the night before. Unfortunately our actress is like a Hoover vacuum cleaner and had finished what she had been provided. When she finally gets busted her world is going to come crashing down.

Do you remember Brittany Flickinger? She was the person who won Paris' BFF contest. Yeah, well she is fast becoming reality's version of Natasha Lyonne. It looks like she stole what she is wearing from an out of business Roller Derby team. No offense to those who play Roller Derby. I love the sport. I just am not sure that it is what one wears when going out for the evening. The stroll perhaps, but not going out.

Sitting next to the step-daughter and not the wife. Nothing really wrong with this one.
Notice how far away the wife is, while Scott's elbow is accidentally pressed against his step-daughter's breast. I know, I know, these could all be coincidences and perfectly innocent. Still. A little creepy.

Did Valerie Bertinelli get married and I didn't notice. She and her boyfriend were wearing rings on their ring fingers? I know Eddie Van Halen is getting or got married this month so maybe she wanted to beat him to the punch.

Ryan O'Neal Wants To Exploit Farrah Fawcett Just A little More

Ryan O'Neal has not had this much camera time since the last time he got arrested for drugs. He is loving the attention Farrah Fawcett's condition is bringing him. He is loving it so much that they are filming Farrah as we speak so they can show another installment of her fight against cancer. I'm sure that if and when Farrah passes away, Ryan will be right there with a camera in hand with Alana Stewart standing right next to him making sure he gets the right shot. Enough already. Why do we need more? Why do we need Ryan O'Neal calling in to the Today Show to tell us all of this? Oh yeah. NBC showed the first part, and was number one in its time slot. OK, so NBC wants more also. Nothing like death to get those numbers up.

Oh, and remember how a few weeks ago, Farrah didn't even know Redmond was in shackles when he came to visit? How she was so out of it she had no clue he was in jail or wearing his prison jumpsuit to visit her? OK, so then how do you explain this quote from Alana Stewart about Farrah watching the special?

"I was a little nervous. She cried a few times. It was quite emotional for her. When it was over [I asked her], 'OK, so did you like it?'"

Fawcett apparently responded "very much".

Uh huh. So, Farrah stayed awake through the entire two hours? Uh huh. She was probably crying because she couldn't believe Alana wanted to be paid double to keep filming her dear friend. I hate the lot of them.

Michelle Trachtenberg Announces Pregnancy Of Sarah Michelle Gellar

Apparently Sarah Michelle Gellar really is pregnant and wasn't just accidentally covering her stomach with scripts and random pieces of clothing she decided to carry. I don't think I have seen an official announcement from SMG or Freddie Prinze Jr., but that hasn't stopped Michelle Trachtenberg from telling the world. Michelle, who is famous for leaking anything and everything to tabloids, told People, "We talk every other day. I'm super excited. I'm so very happy for her and Freddie. She's going to be an extraordinary mom. Good people make great parents,"

I'm guessing the next time Michelle calls Sarah for one of their every other day chats, Sarah might not be as pleasant considering she was probably the one who wanted to decide when everyone should know. That is just a guess considering the great lengths she has gone to on the set of her new show to hide any kind of baby bump. Oh well. Put a microphone in Michelle's face and she say just about anything.

Katherine Heigl Wants An Emmy

Last year if you will recall, Katherine Heigl decided she wasn't going to nominate herself for an Emmy because as she put it, the writers sucked and so she wasn't very proud of anything she had done on the show. OK, so it wasn't those exact words, but it was still something like that. Now that she may have been killed off, and realizes the chances of any future awards in her future are extremely limited, she said, what the hell and nominated herself for an Emmy this year. One can only hope she doesn't make the finals, and therefore give her something to bitch at for the upcoming year. That would be sweet wouldn't it?

Oh, and to improve the odds she will win, she has placed herself in the Best Supporting Actress award instead of lead actress. It is the same category for which she won in 2007, but one could argue she was more of a lead actress and she certainly hasn't supported anyone other than herself.

Elizabeth Adeney - 66 Year Old Mom To Be

Earlier this year, I posted the story of the woman in India, who at age 70 gave birth to a child. Now, in the UK, Elizabeth Adeney is set to become the world's second oldest mother, doing so at the age of 66. Apparently, Elizabeth traveled to the Ukraine, where for about $10,000 you can get IVF treatments regardless of your age. I'm not saying 66 is old, but I am saying that perhaps you could instead find some foster children who could use some love and care or mentor children who are less fortunate.

What kind of life are you going to be able to give your child? Ms. Adeney is not poor by any stretch of the imagination and has already hired a nanny to help care for the baby. Giving birth at 66, even by elective Cesarean is still dangerous. What if the mom dies during childbirth? Who is going to take care of the baby? When the mom is 80, her baby will just be a teenager. I don't think you can ever have an age limit that prohibits people from doing this, because I don't know how you would ever determine a cut-off. I also understand that a couple in their 20's could also die at anytime and leave their child without a home, but it just seems more probable that someone who has a life expectancy of about 11 more years should maybe not be doing this.

I am all for people doing what they want in their lives, but in this case, you are not just affecting your own life, but that of your future child as well. What kind of mother-daughter bonding are they going to do? Visit mom in the nursing home day?

Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock & Betty White - Enough Said

Sandra Bullock & Ryan Reynolds: Behind the Scenes of The Proposal - watch more funny videos

Battleship The Movie

Someone somewhere is going to get fired for this idea. I just hope whoever that man or woman is, oh, lets face it. An idea this stupid has got to come from a guy and approved by guys. So, I hope this guy is single, because if he is married and maybe has kids at home and says to his wife why he got fired, she is going to call him an idiot for the rest of his life. And rightfully so I may add.

Did you ever play the game Battleship as a child? Do you play it now on your cell phone? Great, I'm proud of you. Now, imagine you are in a movie theatre and have paid $15 for the IMAX version of the movie and when you look up at the screen you see two people sitting there for 90 minutes calling out, "E-9." "Miss." Yeah, sounds like good times doesn't it? The only time that was ever entertaining to watch was in some James Bond movie where if you missed you got some kind of electrical shock. That was kind of cool.

Apparently they are going to make a movie based on the game. So, yeah, it probably won't be two people playing a best two out of three in front of movie cameras, but I can still tell you this is the dumbest idea in a very long time. Why? Because some idiot decided that they were going to make a movie about a naval battle and told someone else it was going to be based on the game Battleship. So, instead of just having a really expensive movie about a naval battle, they are now going to have a REALLY expensive movie because they are going to have to pay money to Hasbro for permission to use the name. Idiots. Just make a damn movie about two ships fighting. Why does it have to be based on something? Did someone try and sell the idea and it was rejected so they said, "ooh, lets base it on the game." Next thing you know someone shouted genius and opened their wallet and paid twice as much money as necessary just because they probably ate paint chips as a kid and have no original ideas in their brain.

How Fantastic Is Paulina Porizkova?

Last week I posted about how Paulina Porizkova was fired by Tyra Banks. On Friday, I missed spotting this interview Paulina gave about the situation, but thanks to many of you who sent me the link, I had a very enjoyable weekend reading it over and over again. What was I reading? I was reading about how Paulina Porizkova doesn't really give a crap about Tyra Banks and that Tyra really messed with the wrong person when she decided to fire Paulina.

Paulina gave what is quite possibly the most charming throw someone under a bus interview in years. This is how you throw someone under a bus, then back up and do it all over again and still come out looking like a winner.

In an interview on the Billy Bush Show on Friday, Paulina had the following fun things to say about her experience on Tyra's show.

#1 - “I must admit I was having a little bit of an issue with Tyra being late for every judging. It’s six hours later and I feel like I am being told my time is not as valuable as hers. They pointed out that I should shut up and be grateful for the job and that Tyra is really busy. I think that my little hissy fits about ‘Well, we are all here on time. Why can’t she (Tyra)?’ didn’t go over all that well,”

I was going to say something really snarky here, but the thing is this shows Tyra has no respect for her employees. Yes, Paulina is ticked but she was making lots of money to be there. What we are forgetting about in all this is all of the crew who were also there for six hours and have homes and families and would like to see their kids and loved ones. If this happened consistently, then Tyra needs to schedule the shoot for six hours later than originally set. It's that simple. Paulina doesn't mention the crew because she is obviously focused on herself and her needs much like Tyra. Don't get me wrong. I love Paulina for saying this, but I think she forgets there were others waiting with her.

#2 “I wouldn’t know [what kind of person Tyra is] because all I know of her is literally when we are on set talking to each other in front of the cameras. That is the only time she would speak to me.”

Seriously Tyra? You don't make small talk? You don't talk about which stores do the best job of selling tranny clothes? You don't share Christmas party stories with your employees? I think Tyra is busy. What I also think is that she is disorganized and not efficient with her time. Either that or Tyra is the most inconsiderate person in the world. Hmmmm. OK, you're right, lets go with inconsiderate.

LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian Together Again

You know, for a guy who probably had to do much butt kissing to his wife, Eddie Cibrian doesn't really seem to care. TMZ got this photo of the couple together at a bar at the Lakers game yesterday. Now, this picture took place at halftime of the game. They had not been sitting next to each other at the game, but if someone wanted to be a cynic, one would have to say, what are the odds that the two would both be at the game on Sunday, both get up at the same time at halftime and head to the exact same spot? Oh, sure, it could happen. I just think that they probably didn't think anyone would photograph them together at the Lakers game and so when Eddie got home last night and said it was just the guys and then woke up this morning to find all his clothes burning in a pile in the driveway, he may have wanted to change his story.

Of course it could be possible the two are just friends. However, their statements at the time didn't indicate that was the case. So, if you have put all that behind you, why on earth would you allow yourself to be photographed together, even in a public place? I just can't believe it was random. I wish they would just hurry up and make it public so Eddie's wife and kids can start a new life with Eddie's money.

Natalie Portman Says Sean Penn Is A Colleague

Apparently the idea of dating Sean Penn is so horrific even to Natalie Portman that she actually released a statement so people would think she wasn't dating him. Despite her denial, at least two tabloids think she is still making breakfast with him in the mornings or at least catching a cab at 3am. Natalie says "Sean Penn is a friend and colleague. The reports that we are romantically involved are completely untrue."

A couple of things about all of this. If it turns out Natalie and Sean really are a couple or in the future become a couple people will always call her a liar, so I hope she knows what she is doing and that this isn't some statement released by some lied to or uninformed publicist. Second, who uses the word colleague? It always cracks me up when actors do this. A colleague is someone you network with once a month at a cocktail mixer while making fun of other people doing the exact same thing you are doing. The whole colleague thing seems to be a bit pretentious if your colleague is making Spring Break 83 while you are finishing up work on Road Trip 13. The friend thing? Hey, if she wants to be his friend that's fine. He probably doesn't have many female friends because they know what a prick he has. The fact she is willing to be his friend says a lot for her standards or devotion to a higher being.

Someone Who Hates Paris Hilton More Than Me

I didn't think it was possible to find someone in this world who hate Paris Hilton more than me. I didn't think it was possible that some other person would find the lowest form of life on earth even lower than I, but it turns out there is such a person, and he is rich. Apparently filthy stinking rich. The fact that Paris hasn't tried to seduce him with her wonky eyed Valtrex shuffle is baffling.

Anyway, the hero to which I am referring lives on the same street as Paris, but not for long if he has his way. It seems that Paris and her fame whore boyfriend Doug Reinhardt decided to move in together. They left the dogs back at Paris' old place or wherever she dropped them along the way. They currently pay $22,000 a month for their place. I'm guessing Dougie boy contributes about $500 plus some gas money now and then for his share. Anyway, our hero offered Paris and Doug's landlord an extra $5,000 a month above the rent if the landlord would kick them out. Yep. Our hero was willing to spend $27,000 a month just to not live on the same street as Paris. People don't make that it in a year and this guy was willing to pay it every month just to not have a neighbor. If I am the landlord I am jumping all over that. Rent money with no tenants to complain and you know that when the landlord gets the house back it is going to need a thorough cleaning. You know like the kind you would give if Pete Doherty came and spent the weekend at your house. Like Haz-Mat cleaning.

No word on whether our hero was successful, but with that kind of money I am sure he will make Paris' life torture. I'm wondering if he needs volunteer helpers or a son.

Oh, and to show you that Doug is only in this for the fame. And when I say in this I mean sacrificing his peen for the entire rest of his life for these 15 minutes. Anyway, Doug was confronted by the neighbor, and according to TMZ, Doug told the neighbor to get used to it because Doug and Paris were public figures and that's what you need to expect. Ummm, yeah.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which two rehabbed actors were both recently back to being addicts at the very same event?
