Four For Friday

This is probably one of my all-time favorites. I have heard so many things that nothing really gets my jaw to drop, but this is one that did. Then I started thinking about the participants and I was like yeah, yeah, I could see that and sure that person is a freak, but it is still really juicy.

So, anyway there is a husband who is a C list movie actor. Honestly, he may even be a D, but he has B list name recognition and is married to a permanent B list television actress with A list name recognition. Well, it turns out they like to get their freak on with this other couple. Yes, exactly like it sounds. They swap. The other couple consists of a guy who is definitely D list and does primarily movies now. As for his name recognition? Not that great. His girlfriend on the other hand is a B list movie and television actress not exactly known for being super friendly even to her boyfriend. She had a very short term boyfriend prior to the D lister but he wasn't up for the game so she dumped him and went with the D lister she could control. This foursome has been kept quiet for about a year, but the D lister has started telling a few people who have told more and it isn't so hush hush anymore.

#1 - Married C list movie actor
#2 - Married B list actress
#3 - D list guy
#4 - B list move and television actress.

Random Photos Part One

I never in a million years thought Amy Winehouse would get the top photo again except with a RIP attached to it. But, she seems to be doing better and she was acquitted today of assault charges. Bonus is that for two straight mornings she has had to go to court and so probably didn't get hammered the night before. It shows.

Hailey Glassman Dealt Coke - Drugged People At Parties

If what The Enquirer says is true, then Hailey Glassman is not a very nice person. She is definitely not someone I would want anywhere near any kids or friends of mine. In their latest issue, they have a source who has passed a lie detector test and says some damning things about Hailey.

"I met her in her freshman year because she was selling Adderrall. She was known for selling it for five or six dollars a pill. Everyone knew that if you wanted Adderall, you go to her."

If Adderall wasn't your thing, that was no problem. Hailey was happy to sell you coke also. "I watched her sell it to pals - I saw her hand a bag over for $50.”

OK, this is the one part that is kind of weird. Who says the word pals? Is this an Archie comic? Also $50? What kind of bag are you getting for $50?

Hailey didn't just sell the stuff, she loved using coke also. But when she used coke she liked to do it topless. I mean her dad is a plastic surgeon and so it isn't surprising Hailey has fake breasts. I'm hoping daddy wasn't the one who did the surgery though. That would be creepier than Morgan Freeman having sex with his step granddaughter. OK, well maybe a tie.

“Hailey put out lines, took her shirt off and started blowing coke without her shirt on. She didn’t wear a bra because she got her boobs done. She even asked, ‘Do you guys want to touch them?’”

When the coke ran out there was always Xanax. Wow, Hailey had an entire pharmacy.

“They were always taking Xanax. If I was hanging out with them, they would say ‘Have a beer.’ And one beer later, I would be blacked out, and they would be laughing because they put a Xanax in it. Then they would try to get me to sleep over, and I would say, ‘No, I have to go.’”

Nice. That shows you right there what kind of person Hailey is. She is lucky no one got really sick or died from a bad reaction when she did that. And Jon would have her babysit the kids? Options people.

Hailey who is known to enjoy the company of other women tried to hit on her, says the source. “She would come on to me if I was alone with her. There were multiple times when I was uncomfortable.”

She says Hailey promised her: “I’ll be your best friend. I’ll be really good to you.”

But the friend recalled: “It was very creepy. She would tell me about her boob job and ask me to feel them. She would get close to me and put her hand on my shoulder and tell me how beautiful I am.”

And how come MTV turned her down for Real World? This seems to be somebody they would be salivating to have on their show. I can't imagine ever letting her near those kids. If they can't sleep or are crying, Hailey would probably just give them a Xanax and laugh and laugh.

Jessica Simpson Didn't Even Get A Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity

The National Enquirer has a report this week that Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson got into a huge fight on a recent drive. The drive was three hours long which is a very long time for two people who are probably thisclose to breaking up to have to sit next to each other. I mean there are only so many times Jessica could run through her reasons why she was going to go to her birthday party as Twist n Turn Barbie and how Ashlee was going to be the best Skipper ever.

So, Tony in a move that should ban him from ever getting another girlfriend pulled over into an IHOP parking lot and told Jessica to get out. He then left her there. He didn't come back and didn't call to check on her. He just left her. Jessica had to wait in the parking lot for 2 hours for someone to come pick her up. I'm not sure why she waited in the parking lot when just inside the double doors that never close she could have had the Chocolate Chip pancakes or their new Butterscotch Rocks pancakes. I mean she could have spent the two hours in a glorious carb loaded frenzy of fun and instead chose to spend it sitting on a curb wondering if Ken Paves could be her Ken.

Nas Ordered To Pay Kelis Lots Of Money

A couple of weeks ago Nas filed papers with the court in his ongoing divorce battle with Kelis. At that time he said he couldn't afford to pay Kelis very much money because he didn't make very much money. He said that despite what Kelis thought he was having to struggle and get by on just about $150K a month. I mean he could barely afford to put gas in his car when he is only making that much. His expenses he said are about $70K a month. But even though he only has a net cash flow of about $80,000 a month he said he had helped out and had bought the new baby a stroller, a sling and two cribs totaling about $2400. As for child support? He said the most he could afford to pay with his current cash flow situation was about $5000 a month. To give you an example of what is more important than his child, Nas currently spends $10,000 a month on his clothes and hair. Well, sure I mean doesn't everyone spend twice as much on their hair and clothes than their kid?

A judge yesterday laughed and laughed at Nas and instead of the $5K a month Nas wanted ordered nas to start paying Kelis $55,000 a month in combined child and spousal support. Oh, and as a bonus has to pay the attorneys fees for Kelis' lawyer which will set back Nas another $35K. Guess he better start going to Gap.

Javier Bardem Says Adios To Wall Street Sequel

With just about a month until the sequel to Wall Street starts filming, Javier Bardem dropped out. The actor's rep said that he has had five or six other offers and was going to take one of them. It must have been a really big offer or he hated Oliver Stone. I guess he could have not liked the idea of working with Michael Douglas or Shia LaBeouf who are set to star in the movie as well.

This is actually one sequel I am excited to see. I love the original Wall Street but it is dated and so I really don't have a problem with revisiting Gordon Gekko and seeing what he has turned into or if he has changed. I have to admit that I really wanted Javier in the movie and now I am worried he found something he didn't like in it or the direction in which it was headed.

Gwyneth Paltrow Cooks Chicken

All of you know how much I love to make fun of Gwyneth Paltrow. It is one of my favorite things to do. So, it was with great glee that I sat down to watch Gwyneth cooking chicken and how I was going to make fun of her for doing a bad job or making idiotic remarks or making the average person feel like an idiot. You know what? She did a good job. Yes, I am sure she practiced and obviously we aren't seeing the outtakes, but with the exception of calling every vegetable beautiful and using the abbreviation gorge instead of gorgeous she wasn't that annoying. In fact, if it is her goal to have a cooking show, she is not that far away from having one.

She knew what she was doing in the kitchen and had obviously cut things before and deboned a chicken. She never actually eats the chicken she cooks and looks like she is about to gag on the potato that was touching the chicken, but a quick cut and you never see her gagging in the corner of the kitchen. I was also pleasantly surprised and almost shocked that she called arugula by its American name instead of Rocket which is what the British call it.

The kitchen is depressing and cold and she is not much cheerier, but for once I really can't complain.

Katie Holmes On So You Think You Can Dance

OK, so I watched it. I watched Katie Holmes singing and dancing for two minutes and thirty seconds. It wasn't the longest two minutes I have spent in my life, but there was nothing spectacular about her dancing. In fact, it kind of looked like something you would see in a middle school recital. Katie tried to be sexy, but she just doesn't do sexy anymore. I think that part of her has pretty much been cleaned out. I can't believe she went what seemed like everyday for two months and this was all they could come up with for her, especially considering it wasn't live or anything and could take as long as they wanted. The one positive note is that her singing is really good. I know it was pre-recorded but she has a decent voice.

If you watch the video, there is a part about 1 minute in where she is talking and then starts scratching her arm. There was something about it that creeped me out. Like it was some type of nervous tic or reaction. I'm probably just overreacting, but see what you think.

Ted C Blind Item

Oh, what a Hollywood pic of enviable and domestic bliss we have in the very handsome couple that is Snort-Up and Sass-Bitch Summerland. I mean, babes, they have it all: heaps of good looks, great bods, he's got a pretty stand-up career as an actor (Hers? Less so), they both have very beautiful hair, not to mention tons and tons of family loot. What's not to be jealous of?

Uh, for starters, the fact that they screw around on each other, right and un-safe sex left, they scream and yell at each other, he takes more drugs than Sienna Miller chases after married men, plus, he can't keep a friggin' job 'cause he's doin' so much of a the blow these days!

Hey, yeah, everybody really wants to be them, uh-huh.

But, folks are wondering, why does Sass-Bitch stay with Snort-Up, as his flagrant disregard for their agreement to have "discreet" encounters with others is totally getting ignored by Snort-Up's highly visible philandering. Her reason?

"They're both waiting for the next installment of his family inheritance to come in," says a friend who knows the couple well. "They don't care about each other, it's the money they're concerned about—that's it."

Wow. Really healthy reason to stay together, huh? I mean, even the Gosselins know it's best to split up, regardless what ratings cash comes their way.

Oh, and another thing: Snort-Up's notorious gf? They keep breaking up, over and over, only to get back together as often. And guess what keeps reuniting them? It ain't Snort-Up's loot, I'll tell ya that much (she's got her own).

"It's the drugs," says the Summerland's mutual friend, who knows Mr. Summerland's mistress also quite well. "They do piles of coke, have tons of sex, come down, break up, then start the whole thing all over again. Meanwhile, the wife's just off spending all their money."

Mrs. S.'s obviously not investing in rehab for her hubby anytime soon, 'cause the dude would probably divorce her the sec he sobered up!

It Ain't: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie; Beyoncé and Jay-Z; Julia Roberts and Danny Moder

Today's Blind Items - Coke Mom Is Back

Whenever I can write about Coke Mom it is a great day. For a few weeks there I really thought she was going to get on the path of goodness and right, but in the end she went back to her nose candy ways. Coke Mom had been missing for a few weeks. You didn't notice though did you? Where had she gone? Rehab. Yes, she finally decided she needed to go. She didn't go because she felt like she had a problem. She went because her husband said there was no way he would consider getting her pregnant in her current condition. So, off she went for a few weeks and when she returned she stayed clean for it must be, two, maybe three days. So far her husband hasn't figured out she is back on the powder. Everyday she has been going to her meetings. On the way to her meetings though she has been stopping by her dealer's home and enjoying a few lines, and on the way home, just a couple more. So far it hasn't extended beyond that so maybe there is still hope. Let's just all hope she doesn't get pregnant anytime soon.

Lainey Blind Item

Both former “It” girls, both around the same age, both with body issues, both experts at denial, both f-cked up, and they found themselves together one night in a limo, not alone, accompanied by assistants and business agents and other Hollywood hangers-on, and of course cranked up on something, and touching led to feeling led to stroking, led to …

The slightly more famous of the two on her knees, head between the legs of the other, totally givin’er, as the others sat by awkwardly, and the recipient with her head thrown back totally enjoying it even though, in showbiz, to receive doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a preference. To give however… well… suffice to say, the pleasure dispenser has very much established herself.

It's Gilles Marini Calendar Time - Slightly NSFW

Dear Richard

Dear Richard,

Are you trying to kill me? I know I have had harsh words for you and your airline, but I never thought you would make an attempt at my life. Well, except for the food poisoning I know I will get the next time I am forced to eat one of the meals your airline pretends are edible.

It is the middle of summer over here and for some reason I found myself in Phoenix last week. Well, with the temperature never dropping beneath 100, I decided to try and head to more northern climes. Having never been to Indianapolis, I thought that might be a pleasant place to stay a few days. I do so enjoy auto racing. I think that is one of the few things we have in common. Little did I know that you must have been following my every move and had hatched a secret plan.

I flew on an airline called Southwest. Although the flight was crowded, the crew could not have been more friendly. The flight was without incident and soon we began to descend. My seatmate excused himself to retrieve something from the overhead compartment before landing. I graciously got up and stood by while he removed one of his pieces of hand luggage. As he did so, something dropped to the ground and ran up his leg. At the moment, the man brushed his leg and a scorpion stung him. Was that scorpion meant for me Richard? As the man dropped down to one knee his son moved from his seat out to the aisle and tried to get the bag down for his father. At that point five baby scorpions were spotted. Deadly? No, but they would have given me a bad sting if I had reached for my luggage first. I am on to you Richard. From now on I shall be on my guard.

How Does Nick Hogan Have $130K Sitting Around?

In another example of how the world is completely out of whack, Nick Hogan somehow had $130K that he could afford to invest in a record company. TMZ is reporting that Nick filed suit against two guys who look like they defrauded Nick out of some money. Nick and the two guys were supposed to each invest $50K in a record company and if it didn't work out everyone would get their money back. Well, The two guys didn't put up any money and kept Nick's. According to the court papers, Nick also says the pair ran up another $80K on his American Express card without his permission, and so he is suing for $130K.

First of all how did the guys get your AMEX card? Is this some kind of Courtney Love thing where people use her cards for months and she never knows? I think the most important question here is where in the hell did Nick Hogan get $130K? Even if you say he didn't have the $80K charged on his AMEX that still leaves Nick with enough money where he was willing to throw down $50K on a gamble. He doesn't even have a job. Is this money left over from VH-1? How much did they give him? Also, I'm guessing if AMEX let him run up $80K without saying anything that he probably has spent that much before in a month.

There are so many good people in this world who didn't leave their friends paralyzed and a vegetable in a hospital who don't make $130K in 5 years and this pimple just blows through it like it is nothing. It is when you realize how much money some celebrities have for doing absolutely nothing but being a waste of space it can make you sick.

Vince Neil Pulls A Bret Michaels - Slips And Falls For Our Pleasure

This is turning into a real battle of the aging rock stars. For the past month we have all enjoyed the repeated viewings of Bret Michaels getting whacked in the head and falling at The Tony Awards, and now Vince Neil has decided to put forth his best effort at falling on his ass. At a show in Cleveland on Tuesday night, Vince is dancing down the stage, and then it is like he stepped on a piece of ice because he went down hard. The fun happens at about 4:20 into the video. If you are a Motley Crue fan it is during the performance of Dr. Feelgood so you can enjoy the first 4:20.

Michael Vick Gets Out Of Jail And Goes To Strip Club

Michael Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback who has spent the past several years in jail for his part in a dog fighting ring was released Monday from jail. So how did he spend his first week? Well, he didn't go to any pet stores or breeders. Can I just say that what he did to those dogs was some of the most outrageous cruelty I have ever seen. It makes me sick to think about it. OK, back to the post. Vick who really wants to play in the NFL again is supposed to be taking this week to do good things and show the world he has changed and can make good decisions. There is no guarantee he will ever be allowed to play in the NFL again, and if Monday night is an indication of that decision making he will be spending a whole lot of years doing nothing.

Just 12 hours after he got out of custody, Vick was spotted in a Virginia Beach strip club with NBA player Allen Iverson and Allen's wife. Apparently they wanted to show Vick a good time and so the best place to take him would be a strip club. Hey, strip clubs are legal and I realize he was in custody for a very long time. But, the fact is that he wants to play in the NFL again and I guess he thinks it is going to be some automatic thing because I can't imagine that he thinks it is a good idea to go spend time at a strip club when he is trying to get some of his reputation back.

He is an idiot. Go home and watch porn. Stare at women in the mall. I don't care if it is legal or not to go to a strip club. All it shows is that he doesn't care about his reputation and that he doesn't care about anything but himself. I predict that within a few years he will be back in jail for something. I don't think it will be dog fighting, but it will be something. When someone makes that bad of a decision a few hours after they get out of custody, it can only go downhill.

Brad Pitt Gives The World's Fastest Interview

The German publication BILD sat down with Brad Pitt for an interview. He drove over 2 hours to get to the interview on a motorcycle, but the actual interview appears to have lasted about 5 minutes. Brad didn't get mad or anything he just gives the fastest answers ever. Normally I would just give you the highlights, but the interview is so short that I will give you the interview in its entirety.

The background was that both the reporter and Brad wanted a beer but two bodyguards had chased away the waiter. Did the bodyguards follow Brad while he was driving his motorcycle? That seems kind of wasteful. Did he just hire random guys when he got to the city?

Brad Pitt: “You brew good beer in Germany.” He laughs. “My sunglasses are good for hiding puffy eyes after drinking.” They are from the 80s.

BILD: How would you rate your film if you were a critic?

Brad Pitt: “Lots of fun! I’m happy with it, because all the actors are great. Each one is a mini star!”

BILD: What does your wife Angelina Jolie think?

Brad Pitt: “She really likes it. She laughed a lot.”

BILD: You play an American soldier who scalps Nazi’s in a hit team and finally kills Hitler.

Brad Pitt: “Yes there’s a lot going on in the movie, we had lots of fun. You have some great actors in Germany.”

Til Schweiger, Daniel Brühl, Christoph Walz, Diane Kruger and Gedeon Burkhard all starred in the film. For a world famous actor Brad is surprisingly normal. He is relaxed, has a friendly voice and is almost humble about his fame.

BILD: Who is the real Brad Pitt?

Brad Pitt: He is sitting right in front of you. There’s nothing else.

BILD: Are you still a big kid?

Brad Pitt: “No I’m not a kid anymore – I have six children.” Maddox (7), Pax (5), Zahara (4), Shiloh (3), and the twins Vivien & Knox (1).

BILD: Have you found happiness in life?

Brad Pitt (nodding): Hm – yes. I am on the path I want to be on.”

BILD: Do you believe in God?
Brad Pitt (smiling): “No, no, no!”

BILD: Is your soul spiritual?
Brad Pitt: “No, no, no! I’m probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it.

BILD: Are you scared of ageing?

Brad Pitt (smirking): The grey hairs on his beard glisten: “No I like it. I think it’s good.”

BILD: What is your typical day as a dad?

Brad Pitt: “I get going early, make breakfast, get the kids dressed, brush their teeth and take them to school. Angelina is working at the moment. We take turns.”

BILD: Angelina told me once about your giant bed where all eight of you snuggle up?

Brad Pitt: “Yes we have a 3 metre wide bed, but even that isn’t big enough. They all come crawling in in the morning. It’s just about surviving! We all have sleep deprivation."

BILD: Do you find the time to make love?

Brad Pitt (looks puzzled): What?

BILD: Is it sometimes just the two of you?

Brad Pitt: “Yes we make time for ourselves. It’s very important for every relationship.”

BILD: How? Do you fly off somewhere?

Brad Pitt: “That’s a trade secret!”

BILD: Your answers are very short and quick.

Brad Pitt (beaming): “Ha! I’m a father of six. You have to be quick and focused.”

BILD: What car do you drive?

Brad Pitt: I’m not a car person. I like motorbikes.”

BILD: You are driving from Berlinto Prague?
Brad Pitt: “Yes for fun! 2 ½ hours just straight on the whole way.“

BILD: How many motorbikes do you have?
Brad Pitt: “Sorry, but I’ve got a problem with that one”. He smiles sheepishly.

BILD: Why? Too many?
Brad Pitt: “Yeah! To be honest I don’t know how many I have.“

BILD: Has money changed you?
Brad Pitt: “It makes everything easier, but money can also be a burden.“

BILD: Do your rings have a story?
Brad Pitt: “No I just like them.“

BILD: And your watch?
Brad Pitt (checks): “Yes, a Rolex.“

BILD: Your necklace?
Brad Pitt: “From my girl.“

BILD: What is your most important possession?
Brad Pitt: “My family - and yes a couple of my motorbikes.“

His laugh fills the bar.


So, what do you think? Five minutes, maybe ten? This could have been done over the phone. The only thing we learned is that he doesn't believe in God and do they move that bed with them wherever they go?

Amy Winehouse Sounds Pretty Damn Normal - Throws J-Lo Under A Bus For Good Measure

Amy Winehouse was in court this morning. For once it had nothing to do with drugs or divorce or whether her beehive wig should be condemned as radioactive waste.

Amy was there because she has been charged with assaulting a fan backstage at a concert. Last September Sherene Flash went backstage at a concert that Amy's goddaughter Dion held. Sherene wanted a picture with Amy. Sherene says Amy punched her in the face. Amy said she was intimidated and that Sherene was drunk. Amy also said it was more of a forearm to the chest to get some space.

The thing is I actually believe Amy.

Amy admitted that she had been drinking that night. Her choice of beverages included champagne, vodka and white wine.

"I didn't know what she was going to do. She lunged at me and put her arm around me. She was just drunk. She's a nice girl, she was just drunk. I think it was just intimidating. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she's got her arm around me, her face next to mine, and there's a camera in front of me. I think she was being overly friendly, but that was intimidating, I was scared. She's a big girl. She was just being overly presumptuous. I'm not Mickey Mouse, I'm a human being."

Amy then told the woman that she would take a picture but she needed two minutes first to say goodbye to someone. The someone was the stylist of Dion. At that point, Sherene moved in closer and the incident happened. Sherene said Amy punched her in the face and left her eye slightly swollen. Amy stood up in front of the judge to show how tiny she is and that she could have never reached the woman's face with her hand.

When Amy was asked if she was a demanding celebrity, she showed that she reads or at least listens to gossip.

"I'm not like that. I'm not a Jennifer Lopez, paint the room white before I get there and I want five bunches of lilies."

No, just champagne, vodka and white wine. Reporters in the courtroom said Amy looked sober and in good shape. Did she overreact? Maybe. I don't know who to believe. I do think that there are better things for a government to spend money on than this trial. I'm not condoning violence, but even Sherene admitted she was barely hurt if at all and she admitted she was drunk also and maybe acting aggressively.

Parenting Advice From Michael Lohan To Jon Gosselin

When I saw that Michael Lohan and Jon Gosselin were double dating in the Hamptons this week, my first thought was, "wow, my life is complete, and when did The Hamptons turn into Dewey beach?" I kid. I kid. I mean there are very few confluences of nature that would allow for this type of low rent gossip love. The forces of nature, or in this case Star Magazine have brought together the two guys you would least like to spend time with. I'm sure Michael feels like he can provide some great parenting advice to Jon. It probably goes a little something like this.

Michael: Here's what you do Jon. You line all the kids up and see if any have shred of talent. Then you quit your job and you take them around to casting call after casting call until they are getting some work. Don't let them stop working until they are paying all your bills. Let them hang out with drug dealers and mess up their life if they want. The only thing that matters is that they keep earning for you. Now you are lucky. You have 8 to choose from. I only had four and I had to work hard to make a living off Lindsay.

Jon: Dude. Look at my new Ed Hardy shirt. I got it for free. Oh, and I have two girls fighting to have sex with me even though I have 8 kids, no job, hair plugs and am out of shape and overweight.

Michael: Does Ed Hardy make a fishnet t-shirt? I need a new one. I have been working on my pecs and stretched out my old one. The ladies love that shirt. You should hear the sounds they make when they see Mikey rolling by in that shirt.

On this trip to The Hamptons Jon wasn't accompanied by his 22 year old girlfriend but instead was with that woman from Star he was hanging out with over the weekend. Do you want to know what kind of person Kate Major is? She is friends with Michael Lohan. Yeah, that should tell you that when is giving quotes to magazines the past day or so calling Jon her boyfriend that she probably has one agenda in mind. Her own.

"I didn't mean it to happen, it just did. I went to do a story on Jon and ended up falling for him."

I think she ended up falling for the fact that she would like to be on the front cover of the magazine she works for instead of writing for it.

Hailey Glassman is back at home in Manhattan still wanting to be a stepmother and wondering if she should have told Jon about the whole option thing. It looks like he is exercising one of his options this week. I hope when he exercises it he is wearing protection because the last thing this guy needs is more kids.

Mischa Barton Can't Get A Magazine Cover

If you were People or US Weekly or any of the tabloids would you give Mischa Barton a cover? Hell no. She isn't that big of a celebrity. The only reason she is kind of famous is because there is so much content that everyone has to fill and there are not that many women who dress like a hippie homeless person from the 60's and gets arrested.

The average person in the checkout line at the grocery store is going to have no idea who Mischa Barton is and so is not likely to buy a magazine with her on the cover despite the fact she is in a hospital and is bloated beyond recognition.

This hasn't stopped Mischa's publicist from trying to land her a cover though. According to The NY Post, Craig Schneider has been calling around trying to get Mischa a cover story this week. I'm glad to know he works hard for her getting publicity. How about putting that much effort into making sure she is ok. I think this is the same guy who said she planned on showing up to work on that new show of hers. Seriously? How about just focusing on her issues instead of trying to get her ready to be on some dumb ass CW show. What is more important?

Apparently as you all would, the tabloids have brought back a forth a parade of no's to Mischa on the cover. Schneider in a very crafty way said this in response. "I can assure you that I've been inundated with requests and inquiries from the celebrity weeklies . . . If none of them care, then by all means, please stop calling and e-mailing."

See? He makes it seem like the Post is wrong. They aren't. The tabloids are interested. hell, I am interested and they being responsible journalists are calling and asking him for information and to verify rumors they have heard so of course he has been inundated. Doesn't mean she is going to get a cover. I don't want to be morbid, but even if she had died of an overdose last week she probably wouldn't have got a cover.

Today's Blind Items - Bad Drug Behavior

This actor is C list. He is on a hit cable show right now but was doing primarily movies before this role came along. I expect he will keep climbing the ladder but incidents like the one which happened this past weekend will probably not help. Our actor was at a party and was snorting meth and coke and whatever else he could find. He then left the party with a friend. The car was blocked in by another car illegally parked. The friend went back inside to find the owner of the car. When the friend came back out with the owner they found our actor standing with the drivers side door open and marking his territory throughout the car. He then proceeded to get his ass kicked by the owner of the car.

Random Photos Part One

Whitney Houston - New York
When I saw this set of pictures yesterday, my first thought was that Angelina Jolie looks rough. There was one photo where these very tiny pants she is wearing were just hanging off her. Plus, it looks like she got more lip work done.
"So, then I beat her Ashton, because I knew you would still be my friend. And after I was done beating her, I beat you for rolling up your pants legs like a 12 year old girl."
That guy in the background looks like he could just stand there all day staring at Christina Ricci. I agree.
Fergie makes a little adjustment. (Thanks DN)
Green Day - Philadelphia
For weeks now when I am at a stop light and look over at the bus which is invariably in half my lane, I see this girl and that damn poster staring at me. It worked. I am going to see this movie just because it is one of those ideas that seems like it would scare the hell out of you.
One of the producers of the movie is Susan Downey. She brought along her "guest." For today anyway we will call him a "guest."
Also in the movie but never in the photos which surprised me is Vera Farmiga. I love her stuff and don't know why I haven't included her previously.
We don't have to like Maggie but there is no reason we can't like Peter Sarsgard.
Gayle King and Benny Medina with a button that is going to pop and shoot someones eye out kid.
Jennifer Aniston is not unattractive.
And Jesse James is good looking guy also. Does anyone understand the whole chemistry between Jesse and Sandra? It works for them whatever it is.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex O' Loughlin about to make out.
And Marc Anthony was about five feet away the entire time. He doesn't show up except the days she is making out. Insecure much?
Jann Wenner is the publisher of Rolling Stone and Us Weekly. He also looks like he might be a candidate for a heart attack. This is a press conference for a positive announcement and he looks like he is going to explode. What if it was bad news?
Everyone in pink? Check
Wedding ring? Check
Kids jacked up on sugar? Check
Nooo. This is not something you want to see. Kevin Spacey does the double thumbs up. We can't have that. I like the guy, and so maybe, just maybe he could have got away with the one thumb up, but not two. I don't care how well his sock is working, you just can't go two thumbs up like that.
Martha tries to put the language function back to English. I hate it when that happens. She also seems to have grown an extra head. This one of a balding man with glasses.
The official costumes of Miss Universe Japan 2009. Seriously.
The Naked Cowboy is running for Mayor of New York. Then when he wins they are all going to streak Central Park and head down to the Quad.
How can you tell Nick Lachey doesn't have a girlfriend? Baseball jersey out in public and not attending a sporting event. Oh, and he likes to sit on his couch naked eating cheese.
Orlando Bloom.
Paolo Nutini - New York
The Millionaire Matchmaker is getting married. That is some pressure because if she gets divorced, everyone is going to think she shouldn't be matching anyone else. She also got proposed to on her birthday so her soon to be husband got out of the birthday present thing.
Quentin wants to sign things. Is anyone coming?
Could Channing Tatum look any more douchetastic? Sienna is smiling and pressed so close because Channing just got married.
But Dennis Quaid is more her type. Married longer and has kids. She probably jumped him right there.
That girl is a big drinker.
Bret Michaels finishing his show in Kansas City. And then
It never gets old.

"I'm Not Used To Having Options"

I told myself I was going to take a break on the Jon Gosselin thing for a few days. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, but I just had to say a couple of things that were on my mind. Does this Hailey Glassman person have a job? It doesn't look like she does, so I am wondering how she is paying for the rent on her new apartment in New York which is just two blocks from Jon's place. Are her parents paying it or is Jon footing the bill? If he is dumping another $60K in rent money down the drain for her, than I can guarantee he isn't going to have anything left for the kids.

What burned me up the most though was in this interview Hailey gave to People, she said this of a conversation she had with Jon.

"I'm a huge believer in not controlling someone," says Glassman. "I'll give my opinion but tell him to do what he wants to do. He said, 'I'm just not used to having an option.' I told him life is about options."

Yes, I agree, life is about options. BUT, he had his options extremely limited by the choice he mad to have sextuplets after he already had twins. At that point your options in life are going to necessarily be limited. He got very lucky by having a television show and not having to take his lazy ass to a job everyday. But that television show is going to end at some point and the money will stop rolling in as fast, if it keeps rolling in at all. This money being dumped on ridiculous amounts of rent is an option. A better option would have been to spend much less money on rent and save it for the kids. Life is about options, Jon just keeps picking the wrong ones and it is his 8 kids that are going to suffer.

Michael Jackson Has A Secret Son

What is it about the Jackson family and secret kids? This latest report comes from The Daily Mail, but it has been picked up by other sources as quite possibly true.

Norwegian rapper Omer Bhatti was seated in the front row of the memorial service. That alone is kind of strange and leads credence to the theory that he was the product of a one night stand Michael allegedly had back in 1984. Also leading credence to the theory is that everyone thinks he looks just like Blanket. Maybe he is Blanket's dad. That would be interesting.
Omer's "father" refuses to admit or deny whether he is the biological father of Omer. To me, that means he is the biological father. Michael allegedly became aware of Omer back in 1996 while visiting Tunisa. Since 1996 the family has for the most part lived with Michael. In 2004, Fox had a report that said Michael had made the claim that Omer was his son. Omer has requested a DNA test to determine whether or not he is Michael's son.

Ben Widdicombe Blind Items

Which NYC socialite and fashion plate didn't tell her son she left for a European vacation while he is at summer camp in New England and begging to be brought home? As camp rules forbid the lad sending e-mail, she has her assistant scan his letters home and send them to her BlackBerry as an attachment.

Criminal Charges Possible In The Michael Jackson Funeral Fiasco

Forgive me if you don't live in Los Angeles, but I have to go on another rant about paying for the funeral of Michael Jackson. I want to make it clear upfront that I am willing for taxpayers to pay half. I have no problems with that at all. It is the other half for which I bitch.

First, all everyone heard about the entire time leading up to and immediately after the funeral was that it cost approximately $4M. That figure was everywhere. Suddenly, that number dropped all the way down to $1.4M. I actually think it cost more than $4M. I know it cost more than $1.4M. Just the police alone cost $1.1M. Are they trying to say the rest of the funeral only cost $300K? And I also want to know if you can get all of that for $1.4M, then what in the hell do celebrities spend their money on when they have a $1M wedding? Think about that.

The next item on my list is the fact that AEG just sold the footage of the last rehearsal Michael gave prior to his death. It was sold for between $50M-$60M to Sony. So, now that you are so flush with cash AEG, how about shelling out the money to pay for the funeral? Are you going to split the $60M with the tax payers? No, but you want us to foot the bill for the funeral and I bet there may have been some exclusive AEG footage of the funeral that was included in the deal with Sony and so if that is true then you used taxpayer money to benefit your company.

Finally, the City Council yesterday learned that there has been possible criminal activity in relation to the funeral and that one of the reasons it cost so much was that people were taking advantage of the fact the city would pay. $50,000 was spent on sandwiches for police officers. Now, granted there were 4,000 police helping out on the event, but if every one of them ate a sandwich that would still be a $12 sandwich. I'm guessing there was a little pad to that bill and there is probably a lot more where it came from.

Project Runway All-Star Edition

When the producers of Project Runway started talking about an All-Star edition, I was pretty excited. What makes it even more cool is that it is only 2 hours long. Yep. No having to wade through weeks of competitions. They are going to go from start to finish for $100K in one two hour episode.

I think, but am not sure that it is going to air on August 20th which is the night of the season premiere of the regular Project Runway which of course has been delayed by a year. I think that delay though is the reason all of us are getting the All-Star edition. It's like getting a free movie ticket when you fill up your car with gas. It is to make you feel better for having to spend $100 to fill your car.

So, who is starring in the episode?

Daniel Vosovic and Santino Rice of season 2, Jeffrey Sebelia, Uli Herzner and Mychael Knight of season 3, Chris March and Sweet P of season 4 and season 5’s Korto Momolu

They picked some great ones didn't they? I can't pick. I hate Jeffrey so I don't want him to win. I think Daniel would probably be the favorite. Santino is my Facebook friend though and listening to him imitate Tim for two hours will make it worth it on its own.

Since Andrae wasn't invited back, I thought I would share this great video someone made showing the love Tim and Andrae shared for each other.

Sienna Miller Will Sleep With Married Guys - Just Don't Ask Her About It

Sienna Miller was on an Australian radio station promoting GI Joe. Perhaps thinking she can convince Australians to see the wretched movie no doubt. So, because she is Sienna and how long can you talk about the acting prowess of Channing Tatum, the announcer moved on to different subjects. Namely he had the nerve to ask Sienna about Balthazar Getty. I know, I know. Shocker!! He asked a question that someone would want to know the answer to instead of what was the funniest thing that happened on set and did you identify with the doll on which your character is based.

Well, Sienna didn't see it our way and so went off on Adam Richard, the announcer.

"Oh piss off, honestly we're here to talk about the film. You've called us scrags, bitches, knocked-up. We are not here to talk about him. But, yes, as you know, I do know Balthazar and everything's good, thank you. What a scoop! Congratulations! You're really, really clever!"

Richard apologized by saying: "I didn't mean to step on your toes", which prompted Miller to reply: "You're going there!"

Did she mean he was in fact stepping on her toes, or that he was supposed to go there to her toes in some type of supplication? That would have been difficult considering she was on the phone. I'm guessing she didn't like Adam because he probably isn't married with kids or something. The entire interview is below and Rachel Nichols was also on the call.

Yo Quiero Taco Bell - Gidget Has Died

Gidget passed away last night at the age of 15. She was the Chihuahua best known for her Taco Bell ad campaign. I loved these commercials and so here are a few of them to remember why everyone in the entire country kept saying Yo Quiero Taco Bell. Constantly.

Eddie Cibrian Loves Sex - Loses Wife & Kids

Last time I had sex which was several years ago, I seemed to recall it lasted about 5 seconds. Whoo hoo. That was a world record for me at the time. I guess for Eddie Cibrian the thought of having random sex with strangers and those 5 seconds were worth more to him than his wife and kids.

Eddie's wife Brandi Glanville left Eddie. Now, of course this being Hollywood, Brandi had to run to US Weekly and tell them she was leaving Eddie and why, but hey, she has to look out for herself and her kids now so who can blame her.

Brandi says she left Eddie not only because he keeps having sex with LeAnn Rimes but also because he keeps having sex with other people also. I guess he was having sex with Brandi too since they do have two kids.

What I have been wondering is if Eddie told her the truth and Brandi decided to also cover up the story and support him or if he just kept lying to her the entire time and she believed him. I ask this because she was very vehement after the LeAnn story broke about saying that Eddie didn't do anything wrong and that LeAnn was stalking them and blah, blah.

I think Eddie lied to her and she chose to believe it. I think he lied and lied and lied all to get that five seconds of fun. It isn't like he is going to get LeAnn to himself. She has other guys she hangs out with in addition to Eddie. Plus with Eddie she was always having to go to the house of a third person so they could meet to have sex. I guess Eddie could get back together with Scheana Marie Jancan who is the model he is also having sex with, but since he is about to lose half his money and still has two kids and an ex who seems like the in your face type, I'm guessing Scheana will spilt. So, Eddie was it worth it?

Scientology And Rhea Lando?

Last night I got an e-mail from a reader who always keeps me updated on Scientology. Last night the e-mail I received sent me over to the ex-Scientology message board and a letter allegedly written by Rhea Lando. Most of you probably have not heard of Rhea Lando. She is just one of countless struggling actresses in Hollywood. The difference with Rhea was that she had got her big break. Back in 2008 she landed the lead in the first live action show on Cartoon Network. It was called Out Of Jimmy's Head. It only lasted 20 episodes, but the point is that when you get a lead in a show like Rhea had, things usually start to move quickly. So, it was very odd for her to just disappear. I know this, because I used to hang out with Rhea. The operative word on used to. She just disappeared and stopped talking to her friends. One second she was on top of the world and then next shows her with no screen credits since 2008 and nothing in the pipeline. Here is a letter posted on that Scientology message board allegedly written by Rhea Lando. I deleted her home address from the letter, and the person who posted the letter to the message board had removed the e-mail address of someone Rhea refers to in the e-mail. Other than that, the e-mail is intact. I want to keep track of Rhea and see if she ever makes another movie or ever shows up on television again. Is the e-mail real? It seems authentic. Why would anyone randomly pick her to write about it? I hope everything works out for the couple.


Hello everyone!!!!!!!!!! You MUST read this email. I need your help. Things are a little bit, well, A LOT crazy for me right now because.....MATT AND I JOINED THE SEA ORG!!!!!!!

Ahhhh!! I know, it's too exciting to even think about. Matt has already routed in!!!! He is currently on his EPF at PAC and we got him in today (Thursday) before 2:00! It's amazing. I took on ALL his debt so he could route in asap and am gonna work with a team of SO members like a maniac to pay it down and then I will jump in!

Here's the fun part: We are gonna have a beautiful party on Sunday, July 26th, to sell his work (go to mattcaliphotography.com. Choose what photo you want from the gallery and then send us the info and the check and what size you want to the photo in. We'll have prices listed soon or just give beyond what you think we're going to ask!)

In case you didn't know, he's an amazing pro photographer who is now going to change the way Scientology is dissimenated with his art. We will also auction things off. My old twin, Phuong Tran, head chef and owner of the top ZAGAT rated Vietnamese fusion restaurant, Benley, is going to cater.... and the AMAZING Will Seabrook is performing!!!

This is where YOU come in!!! First, we want you to come to the party! All of you! If you are reading this email right now that means that I personally wanted you to come, see this, think you are theta and want to say goodbye and celebrate with you. Every Scientologist I know has helped me come to this amazing point in my life, whether they know it or not. The wins I have had are so astronomical I want you to hear them!! Seriously, they are so big and so amazing that I have lost my voice talking about it! Even if it's just for a few minutes, it would mean the world to me to see and hug my fellows in this fight to save this planet!

Second, any MEST that you could donate for us to sell/auction off at the party is so needed and wanted and appreciated. Jewerly, materials, furniture, paintings, ANYTHING that you could do to help...of course, we are willing to accept "just plain old money" as well if that is easier for you! It's easier for us too! Here's my address: Make checks out to Rhea Lando.

I am so exited about this it is not even funny. This is not just books or lectures or a new release, this is two people donating the rest of their LIVES. For you. For LRH. For everyone you know and everyone you ever wished you could help out there.

That is what the Sea Org does.

The Sea Org is the only reason any of us are here and the only reason any of us have this brief breath in eternity to go free. In case you didn't know, no one would be OT without the Sea Org... and, well, I'm just gonna say it and I'm too uptone to even care how it sounds...I am a serious badass with capabilites that WILL clear this planet and everyday I am not there is another day lost. What I have accomplished alone in my short time with the tech is ridiculous and I what I am going to do in this group is going to be that times a billion. It has never been more real to me that we really can create any universe we want and that we can win at any game we choose to play...and I have chosen to play this game because really, aren't we all in this together? So please, help me help the world..the world YOU live in. This is a one time game, so let's play it and play it big and send me off like a rocket!!!!!!!!!

All my love,

Rhea Lando

Oh, and YES!! I know I did not tell you what time/where the party is. That is all being worked out now and you will be updated ASAP. But I can tell you it will be close (I don't care where you live you will consider it close) and it will be convenient!!!!

xxxx xxxx is helping me organize this day. You can email her at xxxx-xxxx to let us know what MEST items you will be donating and RSVP/confirm that you are coming to the party so we can plan accordingly!

And if you really, seriously, have an "I live on another continent" or "I have 10 kids" excuse and cannot attend, it is okay, have no fear, I checked and you are still allowed to get in comm and send a donation.

OKAY I'M DONE I PROMISE!!
Love, Rhea

Thank You Dina Lohan

Just when you thought that perhaps the day was going to end in kind of a meh way, along comes Dina Lohan to look ridiculous. Last night she was at some event and OK! Magazine managed to get two coherent sentences out of her before something kicked in and she started some kind of random makes no sense kind of thing.

The great thing about Dina is that even when she is speaking coherently it still is such obvious crap that it makes the world fun.

How would Dina describe Lindsay in one word? “She’s a genius. Such a good heart.” I am seriously not making this up. If Lindsay is the genius in that family than, wow, Darwin has some explaining to do, because I can't imagine what idiots were in their previous generations.

As for what Lindsay really wants to do in the future other than act and beat down Sam Ronson's door for a living? “Lindsay will direct one day. She loves directing.” Well, my philosophy is that she really couldn't do any worse at directing than she has at acting so give her a shot. Of course she will only want to direct the next Transformers movie or something of that caliber for her first time out. No indies for her. Can you imagine if someone actually gave her that job? That would be like the best day ever. All the characters in the movie would be wearing leggings and have an unhealthy orange glow to them.

Now, here is where Dina gets off the rails. No, not coke rails, just the expression getting off the rails. OK! asked her about Lindsay and how she can't seem to get an acting job.

“You know what, I taught my children to love. And if you fall in love, life is about that. Family, it’s not about work. You want goals, you want it to be, but you still want someone to share that with, so it’s kind of an open ended question. We’re all living that. We’re all looking for love and someone to be with; someone to share that with. My parents have been married for 50 years, we see that and that is important. It’s work, but you want to separate it, go home and have a family. [Work] is not going to be forever.”

I think I can see where she is going but it still doesn't make any sense at all. But hey, it's Dina. Always a good time. And no, it isn't just her dates who say that.

Ben Roethlisberger Being Sued For Sexual Assault

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being accused of sexual assault by a woman who works at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe. There has never been any criminal complaint filed, just this lawsuit. According to TMZ the woman says that it all happened on July 11, 2008.

In the docs, the woman (who works at the hotel) claims she ran into Roethlisberger in the hotel hallway and he told her that the sound system on his television wasn't working. He allegedly asked her to come and "take a quick look" at it.

The woman claims she tried to call other hotel employees to fix the TV, but ultimately decided to go to the room to fix it herself. Once she got to the room, the woman claims she determined there was no problem with the TV -- but as she tried to leave, Roethlisberger stood in her way and "grabbed [her] and started to kiss her."

According to the report, the woman claims she was "shocked and stunned that this previously friendly man, that appeared to be a gentleman in her previous contacts with him was suddenly preventing her from leaving, was assaulting and battering her."

In the docs, the woman claims she "communicated her objection and lack of consent," but he refused to stop and began "fondling [her] through her dress and between her legs."

She then says that Ben forced her to have sex against her will.

Ben's attorney says of course that none of this happened and that the lack of a police report is evidence enough. Plus, he says the woman has been involved in a number of other lawsuits including against people at Harrah's and that she may have spent time in a psychiatric hospital.

TMZ identifies the woman by name and has pictures of her. I just didn't feel it was right to post them.

Ben Widdicombe Blind Items

Which cheating designer humiliated a "model" date he brought to a party when he was still supposed to be married to his wife? Having paraded the poor girl in front of his friends, he turned on the aspiring model and told her she was too fat, couldn't "walk" (meaning the runway), and "looked like [bleep]." His New York pals were mystified by the crass behavior.

These Are Not Divas

When VH-1 did their original Divas concert the singers they selected were Divas. Do you remember that first concert when all the women were practically shoving each other out of the way to be front and center? That was classic. In fact, each time they did a Divas show I really had no complaints over their selection. Then four years ago the show stopped. I'm guessing it stopped because there were no more divas to be found. A wise choice because they have decided to bring it back and I don't get a diva vibe from any of them.

The past shows had the following singers who I think we would all agree are divas. Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Cher, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Whitney Houston, Beyonce, and Chaka Khan. I might not like all of the singers, but there is no question they are divas.

Who qualifies as a diva now?

Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus. Umm seriously? Kelly Clarkson is a great performer, but there is nothing diva-ish about her. I love Adele and think she might be a diva someday, but not now. I don't understand why they just don't change the name of the show to something like, "Singers we think are pretty good with Miley Cyrus thrown in so people will watch." That would be a more appropriate title. If I were any of the past divas who have been on the show I would be pissed that they think this current crop is equal. They aren't and I don't understand why VH-1 is doing this.

Engaged? Not Engaged? It Doesn't Matter - The Jennifer Love Hewitt/Jennifer Garner Conspiracy Theory

There seems to be a battle of tabloids this morning as to whether or not Jamie Kennedy and Jennifer Love Hewitt got engaged last night in Long Beach. At a comedy club. That's right because everyone knows the way to the heart of a woman is to get her to come up on stage after she has been forced to laugh at your stale jokes for two hours for the umpteenth time and then get proposed to with no ring in front of a surly drunk crowd that has just been forced to buy 3 drinks at inflated prices and are just now receiving their bills. Mmmm. That is a Hallmark moment for sure.

The NY Post says the engagement is real. Others have jumped on their bandwagon. Why not? The wagon is big and shiny and filled with good news. Then there are those who say it was all just a ploy from the audience because they were drunk and thought chanting, "marry her," would be better than "show us your t**ts."

What all the tabloids are forgetting is that it doesn't really matter if they are engaged or not. The only thing an engagement does is allow the tabloids to run some covers of Jennifer's dream honeymoon or dress or blah, blah, blah. They love Jennifer though. You know why? Because all they have to do is change the occasional Aniston to Love Hewitt and substitute some pictures and they are good to go.

I haven't been able to figure out what makes Jennifer Love Hewitt dump them. I do have a theory I would like to share with all of you now though. I know how much you enjoyed my last theory about how Four Weddings And A Funeral is essentially the same movie as Notting Hill.

My new theory is that this Is Jennifer Love Hewitt's Jennifer Garner moment. Yep. Let us go back in time shall we. Jennifer Garner was on a hit show and was married to Scott Foley. Jennifer Love is on a hit show and was engaged to Ross McCall.

Jennifer Garner started dating her co-star Michael Vartan. Jennifer Love Hewitt started dating her co-star Jamie Kennedy. Michael Vartan got his heart crushed. Jamie Kennedy will get his heart crushed. Now, Jennifer married Ben who was dating a Jennifer. Jennifer Love is going to marry the next guy she dates who was dating a Jennifer. See how this works? It is like some Kennedy/Lincoln thing. This is the kind of thing that keeps me up at night. Well, that and an enlarged prostate.

How Much Is A Bad Tip If You Are A Celebrity?

OK! Magazine is trying to make a big deal of the fact that Robert Pattinson allegedly didn't tip very well at a NY restaurant the other night. If you have been reading the site a long time you know that I am a big believer in tipping and that I hate people to be cheap about tips. That being said I don't think you should ever be criticized for leaving 15%.

Robert was at Il Cantinori for dinner and his bill was $350. He left a tip of $50 which is 15%. Would I have left more? Yes, but how can you can get angry at someone for leaving what they should be leaving. I think that he could certainly afford to leave a little more and I guarantee you in the future he will probably leave more, but to call him cheap or a bad tipper seems kind of unfair. What if he didn't like the service? We are assuming it was great. The story in OK! said he received first class service but who determined that?

I am indifferent about Robert. I can take him or leave him, but I think that he has been riding a mountain of positive publicity and people are looking for negative things to say about him or to find something juicy. There are only so many combinations of people you can hook him up with and those are fast running out.

I guess to be safe if you are a celebrity you should probably always leave a 20% tip or maybe 25%. The thing to do though is whenever you have a meal that costs like $20, just leave a $100 and then you get a reputation as a big tipper.

K-Fed And Victoria Hungry For Fame

I am trying to remember any good moments from the last time Kevin Federline did a reality show. Chaotic was probably the worst reality show ever on television. I just remember it being all jittery and grainy and looked like it had been edited by a bunch of kindergarten kids doing an after school project.

Now that Kevin is wealthy and heavy and has nothing to do all day except figure out new ways to separate Britney from her money, he figures another chance at the reality pie would be good thing. Of course from the looks of him I would say he has not missed the pie too often. Over at E! they are saying that Kevin and his girlfriend Victoria Prince are in discussions to star in a reality show which would feature the couple and Kevin's two kids with Britney. No word on whether or not he even remembers the names of the kids he has with Shar Jackson. If E! is discussing the show then I'm guessing that Ryan Seacrest was jumping up and down at the water cooler and couldn't keep it a secret.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but it isn't the worst idea for a reality show. I would be willing to give it a shot for 10 episodes and see what is going on with his life other than eating. I don't want to be forced to sit through 5 hours of watching him try and resurrect his rap career, but other than that I am game.

Chris Brown Says He Is Sorry

Chris Brown went on his website today to say he was sorry for the assault on Rihanna. For those of you who can't watch him, here is what he said.

"Since February my attorney has advised me not to speak out even though ever since the incident I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility. I felt it was time [that] you hear directly from me that I am sorry."

"I cannot go into what happened, and most importantly am not going to sit here and make any excuses. I take great pride in me being able to exercise self control, and what I did was inexcusable. I am very saddened and very ashamed of what I have done. My mother and my spiritual teachers have taught me way better than that."

"I have told Rihanna countless times, and I am telling you today, that I am truly sorry and that I wasn't able to handle the situation both differently and better. I have let a lot of people down, and I realize that. Nobody is more disappointed in me than I am."

"As many of you know, I grew up in a home where there was domestic violence and I saw firsthand what uncontrolled rage can do. What I did was unacceptable 100 percent. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me – please."

"I hope that others learn from my mistake. I intend to live my life so that I am truly worthy of the term 'role model.' "

Well, I don't think he will ever be a role model. I understand why he couldn't apologize before. I get that. What I don't get are his actions since the assault have not been very contrite. Further, there is no reason I can think of for him not to say what happened that night other than the fact he just doesn't want us to know because then we would never be able to forgive him. He makes it seem like he has an excuse, but he can't share it. Uh huh. I still hate him.

Today's Blind Items

This thinks he is funny D list movie actor who used to be B list has been in this space before. Somehow someone agreed to marry our actor and he is engaged.

Over the weekend, our actor was approaching various young women and begging them to have a threesome with the couple because otherwise she was very reluctant to have sex. He didn't find any takers. Oh, and this one will be revealed, but you shouldn't have any problems figuring it out.

Funny, But Probably Not True

The NY Post has a little blurb this morning about John Mayer and what he did for the one birthday he spent with Jessica Simpson. Well, actually he didn't spend it with her because he was on tour. The Post says that Jessica had a party at Ken Paves house and that at some point during the party a gift arrived from John. What was the gift? A DVD of John on tour which Jessica then proceeded to play on a loop all night so she could be with him. Uh huh.

So, lets analyze this. Would John Mayer send a DVD of himself on tour as a birthday present? I think we can all agree he would do that. There is no one John loves more than John himself. Would Jessica put a DVD on a loop all night so she could see him? I think she would do that. I can see her saying it. It doesn't mean she was sitting in front of the television watching it all night with some blank look in her eyes. Lots of people play CD's in a loop, and I'm guessing if you have a child there may have been purely by accident a time that you put a DVD on a loop for your child. Purely by accident though.

The thing that seems not very John like is that he sent it to Ken Paves house. That part seems kind of odd. I think it is a great tale, but I think that because she got dumped on her birthday eve that people were looking for some other birthday stories about her they could share.

Adam Yauch Has Very Treatable Cancer

In a message on the Beastie Boys website, it was announced they are canceling their remaining summer concert dates. The reason for this is because Adam Yauch has cancer which he is calling very treatable. A tumor was found in his salivary gland. Fortunately it was found early and is confined to one area.

He will need surgery and other treatment, but the statement says his vocal cords will not be affected.

How Was Your Weekend - Girl In A Coma, Hummus, Dave Navarro's Tattoos & Why Morrissey Has So Many Gucci Ties

I know this is probably not going to shock many people, but we eat meat in our house. I know, I know. Big surprise huh? I mean even when my mom make vegetables they have meat in them. Now you know why I love bacon so much. I can't remember the last time my mom made vegetables without putting some bacon in them.

So, whenever Girl In A Coma comes to town it always amazes me how my mom suddenly becomes Miss Vegetarian of the year and pulls out some new recipe for hummus which she assures me that Jenn, Phanie, and Nina who comprise the group will love. At some point in time, one of the three women who are all vegetarians must have told my mom that hummus was their favorite. Since that day, my dad and I have been subjected to countless variations of hummus, all being kitchen tested for these three. On their last trip to town a few months ago, my mom was out of town on a cruise and she almost decided not to go on the cruise, such is her obsession with serving them the perfect hummus. When she heard they were going to be in town this weekend, chick peas all over Los Angeles scurried for cover.



Surprisingly enough a few years of mom's hummus and the trio actually still return for more. Either that or they are just really, really polite. I'm going with the latter. Trust me. I have tasted the hummus. That isn't why they are coming by. Jenn and Phanie swear they love it, but they also don't think I drink too much, so again, just very polite. Because my mom didn't see them last time they were in town she had not got to hear their Morrissey stories. Last year they opened for Morrissey on a lot of his tour and of course the name of their band is a tribute to The Smith's song, Girlfriend In A Coma. Anyway, one of my favorites that I had forgot about was when the tour was wrapping up in Paris they decided they were going to get Morrissey a gift. Not knowing what to get him, they asked Morrissey's tour manager for some help.

After what seemed like thoughtful contemplation, the manager said, "A tie. Yes, I do believe he would quite like a tie. Nothing too loud of course. Oh, or too bright. Something tasteful. I think a Gucci would do rather nicely." I think the manager had been asked this question previously. Tie in hand, it was presented to Morrissey who returned the favor by giving them a very, very nice bottle of champagne and sitting with them and chatting while they enjoyed it.



My mom asked them if Morrissey still smelled like a church. She wasn't being rude or disrespectful, it is just that Morrissey has a very unique smell of incense that follows him around wherever he goes. Nina, who is the younger sister of Phanie and the lead singer and guitarist of the group said she would be performing on stage and all of a sudden she would smell incense and know that Morrissey must be watching and very close.
The next thing you know I was hearing about something that was really strange. Dave Navarro it seems has a crush on Nina. Nina is 21. Dave is like 121. Great guy, but older than dirt. But Dave, being Dave is such a fan of Nina that his newest tattoo is of Nina. All I am saying is that he better hope she never cuts her hair.

I know I have talked about Girl In A Coma before, but I try not to force them on you too much because I am overly biased and I like people to judge for themselves. That being said, they are incredible and everytime they come into town, the crowds just get bigger and bigger. On Saturday night, The Knitting Factory was jammed with people who knew all the words to every song. It is so cool to see a band that I have been watching for five years go from performing in front of five people in a garage in San Antonio to sold out shows all over the world. They have gone from sleeping in a van to hotels and stardom, but still have time to come over to the house for hummus. Even if their music wasn't so damn good, to me that would still be a great reason to love them.

Jon Gosselin Ignores His Kids - Goes Out With Reporter

Jon Gosselin found new ways over the weekend to make himself look even more douchetastic. While Kate and his 8 kids were getting scared and hassled by paps in midtown Manhattan, Jon was a few blocks away ironing his Ed Hardy collection and combing his hair plugs.

Later that night when he could have been spending time with his kids, Jon decided he would rather spend time with another Kate. This Kate is Kate Major. She is a reporter for Star Magazine and seems perfectly willing to latch on to Jon for all he is worth. The NY Daily News didn't have the kindest things to say about her and apparently when photographers were trying to get pics of Jon alone, she kept getting in the frame.

Kate says the pair are just friends. Uh huh. Well, whatever she is, she did manage to get him into a sport coat. If you had asked me I would have guessed he didn't even own one so it shows you how much I know. It does bother me though that he has a brand new apartment in town and his kids were there and he didn't even bother to show it to them. That makes no sense. He made no effort to see them on Saturday night despite the fact that several of them had been crying after the altercation Saturday afternoon where paps got into a struggle with security in front of the kids.

What kind of dad ignores that so he can go out on a date? Or a friend date or whatever? Speaking of kids, at the TLC shoot on Saturday it was Kate and all her kids and the Duggars and their kids. That is a ton of kids. That's like an entire elementary school.

Joe Jackson Says He Didn't Beat Michael - Blames It On Katherine

When Joe Jackson opens his mouth I really expect to either see his nose get larger or for horns to sprout from his head and the devil to start talking. Over the weekend he gave an interview to Chris Connelly who has never been afraid to ask tough questions. He asked Joe Jackson point blank whether Joe had ever beat Michael.

"Michael was never beat. And everyone spanked their kids when they did wrong. But not beat."

First of all not everyone spanked their kids. I will admit it was much more prevalent than it is today, but still, not everyone spanked their kids. Plus, I think it is fair to say that no one in the Jackson family is ever going to come out and confirm what Joe said. Everyone knows he beat his kids. Over the years there have been books and articles and movies made that all talk about or show him beating his kids. He never sued. If someone accused you of beating your kids and you didn't, don't you think you might get upset and want the record set straight? Joe never did.

Joe takes this whole theory one step further though. He blames Katherine. "Katherine spanked Michael more than I did, 'cause I was working two jobs and she was at home with him the most."

She might have spanked him more, but I'm guessing she wasn't much of a beater. Talk about throwing someone under a bus. Is there a special place in hell for this guy? As messed up as Michael was in his life, I have to say that Joe Jackson is probably the root of about 99% of the messed up stuff.

Joe finished off Lie Fest '09 by saying, "We brought him up the right way." The right way? If by the right way you mean doing everything you could possibly do wrong than yes, you succeeded beyond your wildest dreams.

Jeffrey Donovan Busted For DUI

Jeffrey Donovan is the star of one of my favorite shows on television. I love Burn Notice. Last week in Miami Jeffrey had a little issue with the police. Well, not really a little issue. He got busted by the cops for suspicion of DUI. It's amazing what being in Miami Beach will do for the delay in anyone finding out you were busted. Jeffrey was actually arrested last Sunday, July 12th and no one even knew until today.

According to TMZ, the police pulled him over last week, kept him for a few hours and then let him go. There is no word on if he was in an accident or what his blood alcohol level was alleged to be when he got pulled over.

Mischa Barton Still In The Hospital

When Mischa Barton was admitted to Cedars Sinai on Wednesday she was placed there under an involuntary psychiatric hold. That hold lasts 72 hours which means she could have been released as early as Saturday afternoon. She wasn't and so someone there must think she still presents a danger to herself or to others. The rumors and stories that came out over the weekend suggested or implied or speculated that she had gone on a 3 day coke bender and that her friends were actually the ones who called the police and not Mischa herself.

The reasons given for the bender were that she couldn't find love and that she was running out of money. Well, if you are running out of money I think the last thing you would want to do is spend it all on coke. I know, I know, she is an addict, I'm just saying that what you and I think of as running out of money does not probably have the same definition as her.

Meanwhile production on her new television show has been pushed back from July 22 to the 31st. The show, which is called Beautiful Life is about a bunch of models. Mischa was supposed to play an older, more bitter model who is trying to remain relevant and get work in the face of younger competition. I'm guessing that even with the delayed start that Mischa probably isn't going to make the first day of shooting. She sounds like she could use at least 30 days, if not longer in rehab and even when she gets out of rehab, if you are a producer of the show, are you going to take a chance on her? I think Mischa just needs to focus on getting better and not try and delude herself into thinking she is ok or healthy enough to start filming a show every day and all the pressure that accompanies it.

Paula Abdul Is Walking A Very Thin Line

Paula Abdul's manager called out the producers of American Idol over the weekend and said they better offer Paula a new contract worth lots of money or she is going to walk.

"She's not a happy camper as a result of what's going on. She's hurt. She's angry. I think at this point we're going to be considering everything, including some kind of a competition show. She has tremendous ideas for a whole variety of shows."

Is anyone else laughing as hard as me at the idea of Paula hosting a competition show? The only idea I can think of for a show would be to have like a Mystery Science 3K show where people watch old episodes of Hey Paula and make jokes about it. Oh, or who can come up with the best drinking game for all her American Idol appearances. Everytime Paula slurs a word you drink. Everytime she says "I liked it," or "You look great," you take two drinks. Every episode is timed to get you hammered in 22 minutes plus commercials.

A lot of what her manager says is just a bunch of hot air and bluster to get people on Paula's side, but she was the one who threatened to walk last year which caused Idol to bring in Kara DioGuardi. With Kara there, Paula has much less leverage to ask for a huge raise. Last year Paula made about $2.5M which is very generous for what she brings to the show. There are a lot of has beens out there who can play the complimentary role to a contestant and spar with Simon.

If she thinks she is going to get Ryan money or her manager has a dream of buying a yacht with his commission or something because he thinks she is going to get a Ryan Seacrest type deal, I think he is going to be really disappointed.
