Happy Holiday Weekend

In Canada this weekend is Thanksgiving and here in the States it is Columbus Day weekend. I of course will be celebrating neither, but wish I was. Instead I will be toiling away at work and blogging all day Monday for those of you who are stuck in the office with me.

To all my wonderful friends and readers in Canada, I hope you have a great weekend. Celebrate this time with your friends and family and stay safe and remember what you are celebrating and be thankful for what you have. I am thankful for all of you. Be safe wherever you are going or whatever you are doing.

Everyone in the States who is celebrating a three day weekend probably either works for the government, a bank, a school, or a very nice employer. Unfortunately for me I have none of those going for me, but the traffic will still be less on Monday so bonus. If you are heading out of town for the weekend, have fun and know how jealous I am. Not as jealous as I am of the Canadians because they are having a food holiday involving turkey and mashed potatoes. We still have to wait another six weeks for that.

Four For Friday - Canadian Thanksgiving Day Version

Since this weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, I felt it was only right that all the answers today be people who were born in Canada. It is an odd assortment of blinds, but it is the least I can do for everyone up north on this holiday weekend. Remember that if you have leftovers, I am perfectly willing to accept them.

#1 & #2 - Bad Drug Behavior - This C+/B- movie actor (Canadian) has been in his share of big movies and is currently filming what is expected to be huge by the studios but I'm not sure the public will agree. Anyway, our actor has already caused drama on the set by doing coke almost constantly and having production assistants deliver strippers to his trailer. Oh, our actor is being joined in all of this with the parent of his C list movie actress co-star. (Not Canadian)

# 3 - Kindness - This C list movie and television actress has a movie world record all to herself. She is also married to an Oscar nominee/winner writer. Anyway, our actress, who has children was at her children's doctor when she started talking to a woman who had three kids of her own, one of which had bone cancer. The woman didn't have insurance and was having a tough time paying the doctor bills. Long story short. Our actress hosted a fundraiser with her husband and raised $100,000 to pay for all the medical bills for the child and to give the family a much needed vacation.

#4 - Probably the most well known of the Canadians in the blinds today. This is an actress who is B list because of a very hit show she was on. She is currently filming another show where she and her much older co-star are having a fling. No big deal in Hollywood although it will probably wreck the long term marriage of her co-star.

Your Turn

Today I thought I would go for something fun. What is the best excuse you have ever given or heard for not having sex with someone. It could be as simple as the famous I have a headache or it could be like the one which is my all-time favorite. A woman was relating a story to me where she said that she was once having sex with a guy and after about five minutes she stopped him and said, "This just isn't going to work. I'm bored and about go to sleep." That has to hurt the ego just a touch. They didn't go out again. Shocker, I know. Oh, and I will enable the anonymous comments since it is about sex.

I Already Forgot About Kari Ann Peniche

Everyone needs something to talk about today and since I'm tired of talking about the Gosselins I figured I might as well talk about Kari Ann Peniche. Access Hollywood interviewed her this week so she could respond to Mindy McCready's interview where Mindy said Kari Ann was a madam and a prostitute.

In the interview of Kari they let her try to set the record straight. She tried, but failed to convince me she wasn't a prostitute.

“Are you now, or have you ever been a madam?” Access Hollywood asked.

“I’ve never been a madam. I’ve never been a prostitute,” Kari Ann said. “Mindy is the craziest person I have ever met in my entire life. Like, she’s insane.”

So, you would think that if someone called you these things you would sue. Right? I mean someone said you sold sex for money and were a pimp and getting money for other people having sex. You would want to clear your name or take Mindy to court right?

“To say somebody is a prostitute is libelous,” Access Hollywood said.

“Yeah,” Kari Ann replied.

“Nobody’s suing Mindy for saying these things, these liable, horrible things. Why? … Why is that not happening?” Access Hollywood asked.

“I have no idea. I have no idea,” Kari Ann said. “I don’t know… I have no idea.”

“But if she’s proven to be a liar, doesn’t that vindicate you?” Access Hollywood asked.

“I just think the truth is the truth,” Kari Ann replied. “Karma is like good enough and you know, I mean if it continues then you know maybe I’ll have to do something about that.”

Yeah, karma huh? Well, I think Mindy already had about as much bad karma as one person can get, so I don't know what more Kari Ann thinks karma can do to Mindy. Kari Ann doesn't want to sue because I have a feeling she thinks she is going to lose. She also denied being hired by Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane as Mindy alleged and they were just friends. I noticed that Rebecca and Eric haven't sued Mindy about that statement either. Interesting considering that Eric & Rebecca are not shy about litigation as the fine people over at Gawker have discovered.

Ralph Lauren Finally Admits They Retouched Photo

Last month when the photo above was first posted, Ralph Lauren didn't say there was anything wrong with it and also refused to say whether it was retouched. Further, they said even if it had been retouched they were not the ones responsible. Well, after a month of getting hammered by the site Boing Boing, Ralph Lauren finally came clean and admitted they had retouched the image and yes, it was their fault.

This is what the company had to say. "For over 42 years, we have built a brand based on quality and integrity. After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman’s body. We have addressed the problem and going forward will take every precaution to ensure that the caliber of our artwork represents our brand appropriately."
So, basically what they are saying is that the world caught them in a lie and now what they will do is make sure they can find some models who actually look like that picture. I am beyond disgusted they altered a photo like that and how they have this vision that everyone in the world needs to look like a cracked out Lindsay Lohan or like they are walking on sticks like Tori Spelling. That is not how people look. People come in all shapes and sizes and they sell clothes in all shapes and sizes so it isn't like this is new to them. Why can't you have models of all shapes and sizes in your catalogs? The picture in the middle is how the model really looks.

Ted C Blind Item

Let's get something straight right now: Yes, I often write Blind Vices that are fairly obvious; this one isn't. That's a pretty big clue. And so, too, is Slink-a-Rella Jiggle's rear end.

See, it's the main thing that got her beautifully bodied man, Dumbo Pecs, to ask her to marry him (her boobs sure didn't hurt, either). Well, that and the fact that Slink-a-Rella wasn't exactly actually Dumbo's first choice to be his wife. So Pec thought, Well, I do like Slinky's big ol' bottom, so why the hell not give this a try, huh?

Aren't men funny? They make life decisions based on the most interesting things, like the notion that Dumbo also felt marriage to Slinky would...

...help his career, which is the most stupidass thing I've ever heard.

What Dumbo wasn't really paying attention to (since he's not really great about heeding the advice of those he pays to give it to him) was the unavoidable fact that his career was doing, uh, doing quite nicely before he ever met Ms. Jiggle. And if anything, Dumbo's marriage to Slink-a-Rella has stalled his pro job, if only a bit.

Will Dumbo's day gig continue to sorta meander along, you think, until this kind of weirdo marriage of his suddenly busts up, as most of his friends think it will? And pretty messily, at that. Hard to say. And besides, a good pair of butt cheeks is hard to find in this town of starved women, so can't say I blame Mr. Pecs all that much.

And It Ain't: Beyoncé & Jay-Z, Kendra Wilkinson & Hank Baskett, Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon

Dina Lohan Says Lindsay Lohan's Creative Ability Is From God

I made fun of Dina Lohan's shoe line yesterday. Well at the shoe launch she spoke to the press and while speaking to the NY Post invoked God's name not once, but twice. Oh, and she also said that Lindsay would be helping out with the shoe line. Pasties on shoes? Love it.

In her statement she first took a swipe at Michael Lohan. That is pretty much par for the course. She says that he never talks to Lindsay. I think sometimes he does, but not as much as he would have the magazines believe. It's tough to get money for stories otherwise.

"I can't change Michael to make him do the right thing -- that's up to him and God. But it is hurtful for a child for her own father, whom she has no relationship with, to say things in public about her like that."

She was referring to the fact that he said Lindsay is addicted to prescription drugs. When The Post asked her if Lindsay was addicted (Applause to The Post for asking the question) Dina didn't say no. Interesting.

"I have no idea what he is talking about. I can't comment on everything my ex says."

Ummm, you do comment on everything he says because that is how you keep your name in the press and make a little extra cash. I think we can go ahead and take this as a confirmation she is addicted to something.

As for Lindsay, Dina again said Lindsay is a genius. Her other kids? She didn't have anything to say about them. If you don't bring in money for Dina, she isn't going to talk about you.

"Leave Lindsay alone. Let her be a real 23-year-old. Let her grow, and let her artistic abilities flourish. Stop judging the Britneys and the Lindsays. They are very creative girls, and that is a gift from a higher power of God."

Apparently God is a kleptomaniac who loves pasties and Vicodin. Who knew?

Katie Holmes' Publicist Ghostwrites For OK!

Excuse me for a second. I realize now that I'm typing and so you have no idea that I can't stop coughing from laughing so hard. I could write this blog for the next 20 years and I don't think that I will ever find an article so clearly written or dictated by a publicist than this one from OK! Magazine. Actually it could have been written by a Tom Cruise publicist so I guess I shouldn't put the blame entirely on Katie's people or person.

The headline says, "Katie Tells Tom To Slim Down With Sex"

My first reaction when I read it was to ask who is Kate telling Tom to have sex with. Seriously because I have never imagined them having sex and I would actually be shocked if you told me they did.

With a headline like that how could I resist the article where I found out that “Katie is in incredible shape,” says a source. “She is constantly watching what she eats and she works out every day. But Tom had been complaining about how hard it is at 47 to keep off the pounds, so Katie vowed to help him out.”

Honestly, that part is believable and if they had kept it there I would have called bullshit that they talked to anyone who knew, but at least it was believable crap.

“Katie loves to cook – and she especially enjoys baking sweet treats,” reveals the insider. “And Tom’s favorite things are her homemade chocolate chip cookies, fudge brownies, and her famous chocolate covered popcorn. Those are the things Tom can’t resist, so he’s pleaded with Katie not to make them until he has time to lose a little weight. Katie wants to help him out, so she agreed."

See, this shows Katie as the perfect little homemaker who cooks for her man and bakes and is willing to help him out when he needs it. Who knew that Katie was famous for her chocolate covered popcorn. I bet it's amazing.

“She also has him eating fewer carbs and more lean protein. So instead of filling his plate with lots of pasta and red meat, she’s ordered him to load up on autumn vegetables like squash and sweet potatoes, as well as chicken and fish.”

How remarkable that autumn has been with us for just two weeks and already Katie has him loading up on autumn vegetables. That is a timely coincidence. What if they had spoken to this source three weeks ago? Would they have said that Katie was ordering Tom to enjoy the last remnants of summer's goodness? No, of course not because Tom just started this diet now because he overloaded on her brownies at Labor Day.

Here is the part to make you hurl and laugh at the same time. It is a complicated procedure so if you don't think you can comfortably manage the feat, then please do not read any further.

“Katie read somewhere that you burn up 600 calories just by having sex three to four times a week,” the source reveals. “So she’s told Tom to think about how much they’d burn up if they put daily sex sessions on their schedule!

“Tom thinks the sex order is the best part of Katie’s diet plan, and he’s promised to up the bedroom romps whenever they are in the same town… just for the sake of his diet!” dishes the insider.

So not only does Katie cook and take care of her man she is the one who initiates sex and wants it all the time. And to think people will actually pay to read this. Well, not many people because lets face it, OK! is really in the tank and it is probably because of absolute crap like this. I would rather read true stories about D listers than to have to see made up crap like this.

The Hoff Checks Out London Hospitals

Tired of seeing the inside of Los Angeles hospitals after drinking binges, The Hoff decided to take his world drinking tour to London this week. In town for the Simon Cowell 50th birthday party meant The Hoff had pretty much been drinking non-stop for several days before finally accidentally hitting a doctor who had come to check on him at the request of the hotel where The Hoff was staying. The Sun is reporting The Hoff was released this morning from a London hospital after a two day stay to dry out from his recent binge.

The hotel staff at St. Martins Lane Hotel had called the doctor because they were afraid something really horrible was going to happen. The Hoff had been drinking in the bars at the hotel and other public spaces and had been yelling at and verbally abusing the staff and customers of the hotel and they finally had enough.

When the doctor came to get The Hoff with some other people, Hoff put up a struggle and at that time the doctor accidentally got punched.

Doh! Marge Simpson Naked

Well in the past we have seen the naked butt of Bart Simpson and now it looks like that if you have been having secret fantasies of what Marge Simpson would look like naked, now is your chance. In honor of the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, Marge will be naked on the cover of the magazine and have her own three page pictorial. Sounds exciting huh? Three pages of pale green skin and to see if that blue hair is everywhere.

This A list movie actor recently quit a very high profile movie he was to begin shooting. There was no real reason why he suddenly decided to take a pass. Well, the reason is a pass. It turns out that the A list actor hit on the wife of his fellow A list co-star who threatened to walk out if the offender wasn't fired. Our A list lecher was allowed to quit rather than being fired.

Leno vs Ferguson

It is the battle of the late night videos. Of course it really isn't a true battle because Leno is on at 10pm and Craig Ferguson is on like at 4am or some horrible time that makes me moan in the morning after I have stayed up to watch it. So for your viewing pleasure I give you Kate Gosselin on JMZ from Leno's show last night. It is good that she can make fun of herself but I hope SNL doesn't take the bait and invite her to host. I know that is why she agreed to do the Leno thing.



As for Craig Ferguson, he is so funny that he can just stand in the background while Craig and the Craigettes perform Mmmmm Bop and you still find yourself laughing because you are dying to see how he is going to join in. It's worth it when he does. (Thanks Karen)

What Do You Think?

I finally found the time this morning to watch the Australian program "Hey Hey It's Saturday" and the group of performers on the show who performed in blackface as a tribute to Michael Jackson. This whole incident probably would have been ignored if Harry Connick Jr., wasn't a guest host on the Gong Show styled program. After giving the group a zero for a score, Harry said that if he had known the group was going to be on the show he wouldn't have agreed to be a judge.

Harry said and did the right things. The host of the program apologized to people who were offended by the skit and the performers in the group also apologized. The leader of the group is East Indian and justified his performance by stating since he was East Indian and other members of the group were multi-racial that it was ok. No, it isn't. Just because you are a minority doesn't mean you get a pass from being racist or that it is ok. I hate that excuse. Yes, you know what it is probably like to be discriminated against and therefore you should know what it feels like to be on the end of it and really make an effort not to do it to other minorities. If you haven't seen the video it is below.

Roman Polanski On To Catch A Predator

This is a 90 second clip where an interview with Roman Polanski is mashed with Dateline's To Catch A Predator. Roman is talking about the rape in his interview and I know this thing is sliced and diced and edited, but it doesn't sound like he is very remorseful at all.

Dr. Phil Lawsuit Is One For The Ages

When reporters tried to reach Dr. Phil's spokespeople for a comment about a recent lawsuit filed against him in a Los Angeles court, the spokespeople could not be reached for comment. My guess is they can't breathe because they are laughing so hard.

Shirley Rae Dieu has sued Dr. Phil for false imprisonment, practicing without a license, indecent exposure, battery, fraud and more.

Here is how Shirley said all of this happened.

Back in 2007 she was being treated by Dr. Phil when she was "forced to be in the same room with a completely live naked man while he exposed his entire naked body, genitals and all."

But wait, there's more.

She was brainwashed and "subjected to edited tapings depicting her as a different personality other than her own."

Dr. Phil also copped a feel back in 2007 during a therapy session.

People Magazine managed to talk to Shirley and she said another woman will be joining the lawsuit. Uh huh. She says that Dr. Phil isn't like the man we see on television.

I just want to know if Oprah was involved.

An Open Letter To Miley Cyrus

Dear Miley,

I know you are 16 years old and yes, you have probably lived a lifetime in those 16 years. I mean you must have because you have already had one volume of your memoirs published and have several more to go. Yes, I have made fun of you and chastised your parents, but I am just full of advice so here is a little more for you.

I read today that you stopped Tweeting. Although I am iffy on Twitter I think your reasons for stopping is something you may regret. In your last Tweet you said, "FYI Liam doesn't have a Twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason."

Here is your life lesson. Don't ever stop doing something innocuous just because your significant other doesn't want you doing it. Sure, if you are doing drugs or about to jump off a building or set to watch an episode of Living Lohan then by all means listen to your significant other, but stopping something you obviously love doing just because he doesn't want you to do is a step in the wrong direction.

You need to live your own life and not live it according to the wishes or wants or desires of another person. Don't live your life to please your parents or your boyfriend or your friends. Live your life for you. In every relationship there are compromises, but this isn't a compromise, it is a demand. Once you start acceding to his demands it is a very slippery ride to having no control over you or who you are.

If you turned off your Twitter account because you were tired of doing it, then great, but if you turned it off because Liam doesn't have one or doesn't want you to have one, then you need to think about what you want and what makes you happy. Liam will probably go away. I know you don't think so, but the chances are the two of you will break up and you will regret doing what he told you to do, and not making decisions that affect you, on your own.

Stephanie Seymour - Not Fun To Be Married To

I usually only think of Stephanie Seymour if I am surfing through YouTube and watching old Guns N' Roses videos. I remember her dating Axl and that when they broke up he accused her of assault and also for stealing $100K worth of jewelry. Well, Stephanie might be older now, but in her current divorce proceedings, the charges sound very similar.

Stephanie filed for divorce from her husband Peter Brant back in March. In a filing by Brant which the NY Post obtained, Brant states that Seymour spends $257,000 a month of which $50,000 is on new clothes alone. Seriously? I know the guy is stinking rich, but do you really need to spend $50K a month on clothes? Every month? Take a month off and give $50K to someone on the street.

Stephanie is not content on just spending $250K a month though. Nope. She wants much more and Brant is accusing her of stealing things from their once shared mansion and that to expedite her thievery she has cut a hole in a perimeter fence to pass things out to an accomplice.

Brant also says that Seymour has not been tested for drugs or alcohol despite being ordered to by a judge and that Stephanie has been in rehab twice and for abusing Vicodin and other substances. The couple has three kids and Stephanie has one from her previous marriage. She didn't have one in her relationship with Axl or when she was a 16 year old living with John Casablancas. Yeah. I forgot about that one.

Marie Claire Gets Out The Serious Kneepads For Hilary Swank

It would come as no surprise to me if the reporter who interviewed Hilary Swank for Marie Claire this month got her Master's Degree from People Magazine with a minor in Larry King. What is shocking to me is that despite what is possibly the most ass kissiest, soft ball questioning interview of all time I still found something to ask all of you. But first the questions. Forget the answers to most of these, I just want to show you the questions.

Oh, but before we get to the questions lets read the first line of the article shall we? "The strong, square jaw, the gleaming smile, the playful, snapping eyes...it's impossible not to recognize Hilary Swank." At this point Hilary Swank's publicist had an orgasm.

Now the questions:

1. One myth about you is that you're such a hard worker, you don't know how to have fun.

2. How do you relax now?

3. Was letting go something you also had to learn how to do?

4. People are so awed by the glamour of famous actresses' lives—they assume they just sit around in designer gowns all day. Myth?

***Note from me*** Ummm, seriously? Isn't that insulting to Marie Claire's readers? I mean the whole interview is insulting to the profession of journalism, but are Marie Claire readers idiots who think actresses sit around in designer gowns all day?

5. What do you sleep in?

This was a soft ball question, but Hilary blew it. She answered nothing. The interviewer tried to help Hilary with the answer by offering this followup.

6. I sleep in pj's. I have two young sons, so I have to be conscious of that.

Hilary still didn't take the bait and then proceeded to tell the world that her boyfriend's six year old son saw Hilary naked every morning. " Well, my boyfriend's son is 6 years old, and you wonder at what age you should stop walking around nude. Every morning he comes into the bedroom, and you're just nude. But he doesn't look twice; he doesn't think about it yet. I just toss and turn too much when I sleep, and if I'm in clothes, I get all twisted up." Think about it like this. What would you think about a man being naked in front of a six year old girl everyday who wasn't his daughter?

At that point I couldn't take any more "questions" from the reporter. If you want to read other classics like "You have such an incredible figure, and I bet you never have to work out," then by all means click here and read it. Where was the question in that last statement anyway? None of these people have any pride at all. Yeah, I'm talking to you Joanna Coles (she was the reporter). Ask a question. Do some research. Avoid asking for autographs from the interviewee. Don't moan when you meet them.

Jayde Nicole Was Right

This has not been a good week for Joe Francis. Earlier in the week, Las Vegas casinos won judgments against Joe Francis for unpaid debts totaling approximately $2M. Now, Radar has secured video which shows Joe beating the crap out of Jayde Nicole. The video is long but the attack happens almost immediately. You can see Jayden touch Joe on the shoulder and then Joe turn around and storm at Jayde and viciously punch her and drag her by the hair. Scary, scary stuff. Then Joe sees Brody Jenner coming and runs like crazy out of there. Joe had previously said the video exonerated him, and this once again proves he is a liar. I also don't see Jayde spilling the drink on him but it is hard to see what is in her hand so maybe she did, but that reaction was totally uncalled for by any human. Of course Joe isn't human.

Jayde manages to stand up next to the bar after the attack but is left alone for the longest time and no one seems to be paying any attention to the bleeding girl who just got a black eye and beat up. People are just going about their evenings or trying to look out the door at the commotion.

Pretty damning video. Anything that gets Joe Francis behind bars for a very long time is a very good thing.

One of my favorite PR castoffs, Malan Breton. I really don't know about this look though.
Nick Lachey is doing good. He is going from city to city on a food bank tour.
Natalie Portman on her way to see Hamlet.
Pearl Jam - Los Angeles
DNfromMN pointed out to me that the Princess was just two states away from me this week. Someone really, really needs to keep me informed when she is in the States. If she comes to LA and I don't know about it, I would be crushed.
Regis must be like 240 but he looks great. He actually looks as young as Jane Krakowski. Well, almost.
I had Kate Winslet earlier in the week so today Sam Mendes gets to be in the photos. Not the top spot though. He doesn't need it. He gets to see Kate everyday.
Sarah Silverman pretending to get blown out of a cannon. It would have been cool to watch it really happen though. Have they done that on Jackass yet?
A great picture of Sting and Trudie.
Does Victor Garber look like he had some work done?
Whitney. Paris. Enough said.

Guy Ritchie Says Madonna Is "Retarded"

Maybe the British use the word retarded differently than we do here in the States. I doubt it though. Guy Ritchie gave a very extensive interview to Esquire and it is worth the read. I mean really worth the read. It is one of the better interviews I have read lately.

In the interview Guy discusses bars and Sherlock Holmes and of course Madonna. Not much of the interview is about Madonna but for this post, I will focus on that.

The thing I got from reading his thoughts about Madonna is that he really respects her and her career and also that he is still in love with her, but just couldn't handle living with her anymore.

She's a manifester, if there ever was one," he says. "First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any twenty-three-year-old, she'll outwork them, out dance them, outperform them. The woman is broad."

"And, of course, here you go: I still love her," he says. He takes a breath, drives through a red light. If no one is ahead of him, Guy Ritchie does not typically stop. "But she's retarded, too."

I think he means that in an affectionate way. I think. From reading the entire interview I think this was two very motivated people who butt heads frequently. I think though that Guy can relax and be one of the guys and that Madonna is always on and always driven and won't ever take a step back or admit that she needs to take a step back.

As for the divorce? "You can't tell someone when they're getting divorced that their pain is an illusion," he says. "I'm fucking telling you, I feel it, I've been through that. You have, too. No one can say you don't feel that."

If he didn't love her I don't think there would be pain. I think at the same time though there was relief that it was over which you can see from all the smiles he has had since it ended. Like I said, it is a great interview.

Mackenzie Phillips Turned Tricks And Used Coke While Pregnant

Mackenzie Phillips talked about lots of juicy things in her new book, but The National Enquirer discovered some things that Mackenzie didn't talk about and so thought they would share. That is very nice of them don't you think?

The story they reveal this week is that when Mackenzie's drug habit reached the point where she couldn't find enough money to support it, she turned to prostitution.

"There's a period in her life Mackenzie completely glossed over in her book. Drugs led her down the path to prostitution. Mackenzie fell into a friendship with a Hollywood madam and quickly found work as a jet-setting call girl. She was in her late 20s and pregnant with her son Shane."

Yes, you read that right. She was turning tricks while she was pregnant and doing drugs.

"She was shooting cocaine and so strung out she couldn't get work acting or singing, so she connected with a well-known Hollywood madam. Her clients were extremely high-end and extremely discreet. They'd take her on trips to exotic places. She was arm candy for them. She said the really twisted thing was being hired specifically because she was pregnant. She made a lot of money quickly and used it on drugs."

This would have been a great story to share, but I guess there is a limit to how much you want to expose to the world. I'm guessing the reason she didn't want to share this story is because of the effect it may have had on her son if he knew about it. Only a guess though.

The Bean Goes After Ali Lohan

Frances Bean Cobain is one of my favorite celebrity children. To apparently be as normal as she is with the kind of upbringing she has had astonishes me. If any child has a ready made excuse for being f**ked up it is the Bean, but with the exception of a Twitter rant she leveled against Ali Lohan, she has stayed out of the limelight and just led her life as the parent to her mom. Maybe that is why she is normal. There had to be someone normal in the family. I feel sorry for her because she has had to probably be the mom in the relationship with her own mother and at some point you feel like she would love to just let loose, and maybe this rant at Ali is just what she needed to vent.

The Bean says she has never met Ali, but that doesn't stop her from saying what she thinks about Ali and her attempts at becoming famous. Spelling mistakes aside, it is much more lucid than most of her mother's ramblings.

"This is my open letter to Ali Lohan. Your not entitled to anything simply because your sister has a recognizable name. Your idea of fame isn't fame. It's infamy. You want to be famous? Work you're a*s off and make decisions that could potentially catapult your career into a lasting one. Notariety for who you are and notaritey for the work you produce are two completely differnt things.

I understand that you have been brought up in an envirtoment where the idea of fame is easily achievable but, that's not an excuse. You lack the talent, social understanding and credibility to be anything other then infamous. Your careere choices, thus far, will transcend a future career as someone who attempted to be famous, but never quite achieved it.

People like You ali lohan are rendering the world of true talent by attempting to make your entitled a*s noticed. How is this fair to the people who HAVE artistic integrity, or a mind?

I would rather die a most painful death the be assoicated with the kind of careere your trying to make for your self."

The word of The Bean.

Katie Holmes Is A Woman Of Hollywood

Emily Blunt
Julianne Moore
Renee Zellweger
Zoe Saldana

This month Elle Magazine profiled five women in Hollywood and named them the leading ladies of Hollywood. Of the five they chose, Katie Holmes is probably the one that people will talk about the most. I'm not sure how she really qualifies as a leading lady of Hollywood. The only acting they spoke to her about involved her Broadway play and last I checked Broadway isn't in Hollywood. As with any interview involving Katie she has to talk about how her family is the most important thing in the world to her. She managed to not use the word amazing which is is amazing in its own right. She does say she likes vampire movies but says they have to have real characters. So, I'm guessing she likes Interview With A Vampire but has no interest in Twilight unless they offer her a part.

On family life: “In my own life, my whole world really revolves around family. I do what I need to do, but it’s like, ‘How is everybody else doing?’ And it’s wonderful for me as an actress to put some of that into a character.”

On the genre of film she loves most: “It can be any genre. I even like vampire movies – they just have to be well done. I want to believe in the characters. The minute it starts to feel not real, I’m not interested.”

That is kind of how I feel about the movies she has been in recently. Not interested.

Sharon Stone Says Her Comments About China Were Because Of Miscarriages

Obviously any kind of publicity is better than no publicity in the world of Sharon Stone. I can see no other reason why she would choose to dredge up her comments about China from earlier in the year and all the negative publicity she received after her statement.

When China suffered an earthquake earlier this year and all those children died, Sharon suggested it was karma for the way they treated Tibet. She says now though that the reason she made those comments was because she was in "crazyville." In an interview with Prestige Magazine she said the following:

"I was in some kind of crazyville. The horrific loss of those people's children caused me tremendous grief. I was relating to this earthquake like some kind of crazy mother.

"In that moment, I was so grief-stricken, and I was really relating to their grief. I had lost children myself. All of that was really heavy upon me. I was really speaking as a heartbroken mother.

"I had two pregnancies that I lost in the late fifth month. And this is so awful because I had to go have surgery when my children died. This is a trauma that you just cannot bear."

I agree that miscarriages are truly awful and to lose children in your fifth month of pregnancy has to be even worse. However, trying to use those miscarriages which happened years ago as an excuse for what she said just seems to be a big reach. I think she wants us to feel sorry for her and now reporters will ask her about the miscarriages and she will get a chance to cry and be emotional and hopefully the world will feel like she has suffered enough and that she really didn't mean what she said about all those Chinese children dying.

Why did she wait months to tell this story? From now on will she blame everything bad she says on those miscarriages? All she is doing is trying to get publicity for herself. Nothing more.

Maksim & Karina - An Update

Life & Style Magazine has an interview with Maksim this week and he says that he and Karina Smirnoff aren't friends. I believe it. Here is what I heard happened recently.

A couple of weekends ago, Maksim and Karina were starting to talk again. You know how it is. Sometimes people who have been together for awhile think about giving it another chance. Well, Maksim was about ready to give it another try and invited Karina out one night. The night was going to be casual and was really just all the professionals from DWTS going out for dinner and some drinks. Karina told Maksim she couldn't go because she didn't feel well. She had been to the doctor earlier in the day and was just going home and resting.

So, Maksim and many of the other dancers and incidentally Aaron Carter live in an apartment complex in LA called Palazzo. Each apartment has their own assigned parking spot. That night when Karina said she was going to stay at home and rest, Maksim and some of the other dancers were pulling out of the parking lot when they saw Karina's car parked in Aaron Carter's spot.

It was shortly after he saw Karina's car in Aaron's spot that he advised Life & Style they were no longer friends. Now you know why he said they weren't.

A New "Vacation" Generation

At this point I am iffy on what New Line is proposing. New Line wants to make a new version of Vacation. They don't want to mess with the original. What they want to do instead is to have Rusty begin his own Vacation adventures with a family of his own. New Line envisions bringing in Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo to kind of pass the torch top the kids and let them have their own vacations.

I think it could be good. I also think it could be horrendously bad if not done correctly. The executive on the movie says that Vacation is the movie he has watched more than any other in his life so that is a plus. The negative is that I don't want the original ruined and I think by making it Rusty instead of Clark they can preserve the original. There is talk that the guy who directed Wedding Crashers will be brought in to write and maybe direct the new version of Vacation.

Like I said, I'm iffy on this but I can be swayed.

FBI Investigated Anna Nicole Smith In A Murder For Hire Scheme

Way back in 2000 the FBI interviewed Anna Nicole Smith as a part of an investigation into a scheme to murder E. Pierce Marshall. He was the son of the man Anna had married and whom she was fighting to get a piece of the $550M fortune.

Ultimately the FBI said there was no evidence and so they returned a gun and a knife to Anna which they had seized during the interview. At the time they interviewed Anna they also interviewed E. Pierce Marshall and this is what I found the most interesting. He told federal officials that while Anna was married to his father, Anna would ask his father for $50-60,000 twice a week every week during the entire time they were married.

What in the hell did Anna Nicole Smith spend $100K a week on? No matter if you love her or hate her I think we can all admit that she didn't have the best taste in the world when it came to much of anything and I can't imagine her spending $100K a week on anything other than drugs and chewing gum and her hair. That is a lot of money to spend every week. I guess she could have been saving it or also dividing it out to Howard K and other people.

Marshall also said that Anna didn't spend much time with his dad after he finally married her. The only time he would see her is when she would come over to get the money. Most of the time a story like this would be suspect but it comes directly from the notes of an FBI agent and as Martha Stewart found out, you don't want to lie to an FBI agent because you will go to jail.

It is sometimes pretty easy to forget that Anna married the guy for money. We think of her and her television show and the way she died and her son died and leaving her daughter behind, but the truth is she wasn't that wholesome and could be pretty ruthless at times as well.

Kevin Federline Is Not A Model Tenant

I didn't know Kevin Federline was a renter. I thought that he took some of that Britney money and actually bought himself a place. Nope. It turns out that Kevin was a renter and according to his landlord, not a very good tenant at all. First of all Kevin skipped out on his last six months of rent. Huh? What the hell is he doing with all his money? McDonald's isn't expensive. Well, maybe in the quantities he eats it is, but beer, McDonald's and cigarettes should still give you enough to pay the rent.

According to TMZ and his landlord he wasn't using any of the money to clean the house. The landlord is demanding over $100K from Kevin for

- Gutters full of cigarette butts and empty beer bottles
- A broken beer dispenser on the barbecue island
- Permanent spit marks on exterior paint
- Broken light covers
- Bent light posts
- Broken tiles
- Dead trees and plants due to failure to water
- Drawings all over the walls
- A room that was turned into a studio (without the owners' permission)
- Broken dishwasher ... with broken baskets
- Dismantled smoke detectors
- Front driveway oil-leak damage
- Master bathroom windows tinted (without owners' permission)

Permanent spit marks on the paint? That seems particularly disgusting. I'm surprised the house doesn't need to be fumigated from the smoke. I understand the drawings all over the walls because of the kids, but perhaps after the first wall, Kevin should have bought them this marvelous invention called paper. I love the room that was turned into a studio. Kevin is still dreaming. Still thinks he has a chance to get famous for something other than his sperm. Well, at least he keeps trying.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

In today's Daily Mirror we asked: Which star is secretly sleeping with his brother's girlfriend? The fella in question has a track record for scoring on and off the pitch...

Your extra clue: Well, he's never been the most loyal guy.

Today's Blind Items

This foreign born C list movie actress was rumored to be in a relationship with this B+/A- list movie actor. The rumors were true but the relationship is having its problems. Not because they don't like each other because they are crazy about each other. It is just that our actor has had some problems in the past with substance abuse and is trying to stay clean and the actress is in a full on do drugs whenever you can time in her life and is causing some real issues between the two. In fact, over the last few weeks our actress has been doing more than usual and looks like death warmed over according to someone who saw her at a press event.

Random Photos Part One

Mimi Weddell - RIP
This is some randomness. Courtney Love, Bono and Scarlett J.
Is Michael K still alive? Coco and Amber Rose together in the same photo.
I love Dwight Yoakam. I want to make that clear. Here is a question for you though. What is the oddest celebrity coupling? Dwight Yoakam and Sharon Stone having sex or Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett (who I also love) having sex?
Gina Gershon and Chris Rock hanging out. John Stamos wasn't around, but I think he and Gina are doing just fine.
I didn't know Gayle King was so tall. Here she is with Benny Medina.
I love this picture of Helen Mirren.
Jon Hamm on his way into Letterman.
Jean Reno looking for the right theatre. I guess he doesn't want to end up in Love Happens.
Because Kristen Bell looks so nice here I will choose to ignore the fact that she is still dating Dax who appears to be losing his hair faster than Paris Hilton loses dogs.
Lily Cole at the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus premiere.
Latoya was also there and I have no idea why.
Lisa Kudrow in Cannes. It is October instead of May, but it is still Cannes.
Did you think Lindsay Lohan could look any worse than she did the other day? Well, it turns out she can.
I love Mexican award shows. I love them. This was an MTV award show in Mexico City. This is the group Austin TV. Insane Clown Posse are amateurs compared to them.
Paola Espinoza went for the Matador look.
This group went for the matching look as best they could.
JotDog did a much better job of matching.
Even the awards themselves are fantastic. This is Paty Cantu who seems thrilled with her award but not as much as
Panda who really, really is enjoying his.
Joe Pantoliano wasn't there but he would fit right in.
Matt Damon and Emily Blunt on the set of their new movie.
One of the things I love about Nicole Eggert is that she doesn't take herself too seriously. Here she is filming a scene as her old Baywatch character for Celebrity Fit Club.

Padma with an entirely new look. It could be the pregnancy, but she just looks different.
The best picture of Peter and Maggie I have seen in awhile.
The expectant parents Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane.
Rihanna was headed to a Chanel show. At this point I don't think it is possible for her to wear anymore Chanel on her body. Apparently the rule about not wearing the t-shirt of the band you are seeing does not apply to fashion shows.
I didn't recognize Rachel Weisz.
Teri Hatcher preparing just in case she ever needs to perform community service in real life.

WTF? Alex Reid Is Also Known As Roxanne

Where does Katie Price find these people? Alex Reid is a MMA star and today Katie Price confirmed that Alex is also known as Roxanne. Alex likes to wear full make-up and women's clothes and wigs and even alters his voice to sound like a woman.

Katie totally accepts it and says it makes her horny. "I am so fine with it. People should know me well enough by now to know that nothing freaks me out. If anything it just makes me love him more and shows how strong our relationship is that we are able to cope with this."

Katie has seen "Roxanne," but none of her kids have. Then, because Katie couldn't do anything without making something even more controversial she says that her son Junior will also probably turn out the same as Alex because "Junior has become a real mummy's boy, he's really clingy with me and likes me to read to him. He actually keeps wanting to put make-up on him and paint his nails as well! His best friend George is the same. When he comes round they just want to dress up in heels and make-up."

Well I am glad she added that last part because I had no idea that wanting your mom to read to you makes you a mama's boy.

I am sure that Katie revealing this to the world will make Alex a really popular fan favorite for his next cage match.Alex has refused to comment about his cross-dressing.

Roman Polanski Has To Stay In Jail

Roman Polanski's bid to get bail while he awaits an official request from the United States on his extradition was denied today in Switzerland. The judge there thought Roman was a flight risk. Duh? You think so? If he had been freed on bail he would have been in France within a few hours and that would have been the last he ever left that country.

"We continue to be of the opinion that there is a high risk of flight."

The United States has still not formally requested his extradition. Polanski was arrested on September 26th and it is now October 6th. How long does it take to fill out some paperwork? It isn't like they didn't know he was going to be arrested. For their part the Swiss seem to be getting a little frustrated with the United States and said, "I assume this is a priority case in the United States."

To me that says, he isn't sure and probably wonders what the hold up is also.

Shyne Is Getting Out Of Jail Today - Piddily Diddily Has Already Spoken To Him

I bet you forgot about Shyne didn't you? Shyne was the only person who went to jail in that whole Sean Combs and Jennifer Lopez gun incident way back in 1999. While Diddily Piddily has been making millions of dollars and Jennifer probably doesn't even remember the guy's real name (Jamal Barrow), Shyne has been serving a ten year prison sentence. Today though, Shyne is being released and guess who called Shyne two weeks ago in jail? Yep. Diddily. Do you think maybe Sean wants to make sure that nothing comes out about the incident from so long ago?

I am wondering if Shyne is going to get a sweet record deal with a huge advance from Diddy. This is what Diddy had to say about the phone call. “It's a blessing that he's coming home...I spoke to him like a couple of weeks ago and he sounded like he was in good spirits. I know he can't wait to get home. I know he is definitely going to heat the whole scene up. He was definitely one of [many] talented young artists that I had the pleasure to work with. I'm quite sure he's been using his time wisely and has some heat.”

Of the three people involved in the incident only Shyne went to jail. I am sure he has had a lot of time to think. You think Diddy is worried?

Waiter Gets Fired For Twitter Post About Jane Adams

Hung is a decent show and Jane Adams is a decent actress, but since when does Jane Adams have the power to get someone fired? Well if you are a waiter at Barney Greengrass you better be careful about your Twitter posts. Jon-Barrett Ingels was waiting on Jane Adams when she told him that she forgot her wallet. He told her she could go out to her car to get the $13.44 she owed for the meal.

Jane never came back.

So, what is a waiter to do? Tweet of course.

Tues: Jane Adams, star of HBO series "Hung" skipped out on a $13.44 check. Her agent called and payed the following day. NO TIP!!!

Maybe Jon might want to look into a dictionary at some point. Just saying.

Anyway, about a month later Adams finally heard about the Tweet and came back to the restaurant and gave Ingels a $3 tip.

Jon then wrote about that incident.

1.I love Jane Adams (Hung)!! 2.Jane read my tweet about not tipping and came in today to leave me $3. 3. Power of Twitter

Apparently Jon's boss also heard about the incident and fired Jon two weeks later. Jon still hasn't been able to get another job.

The reason for the firing was that Jon had received complaints from customers and from Adams. I'm guessing it was just Adams. Like many people here I was a waiter a very long time ago and if Twitter had been available to me I would have done the very same thing. Come on. She walked out on a bill. When it was finally paid there still wasn't a tip? I would be upset also. In a situation like that don;t you think a $20 tip would have been appropriate? Who do you think probably covered the check the day she walked out on the bill? I'm guessing the waiter. Then to come back and give $3 is kind of an insult. $3? That would have been fine if she had paid the day of the bill, but actress or not if someone does this to you, I think a little extra tip is in order and not complaining so the guy gets fired.

Tyler Perry Abused, Beaten, Molested, And Bathed in Ammonia As A Child

Tyler Perry posted an open letter on his website and when you read it you just can't believe that it all happened to one person and that the person it happened to is one of the most gifted people in Hollywood and seems to have overcome all the challenges he faced as a child.

In the letter he says that he thought he would die before he ever became an adult because of what he suffered as a child. His dad would beat him with extension cords until the skin was coming off Tyler's body. Tyler was seduced by a woman when he was 10 and molested by another man at about the same age. Tyler found out his father was molesting one of Tyler's friends and how Tyler's grandmother thought the best way for Tyler to get rid of his germs and allergies was to take baths in ammonia.

Whenever anyone ever complains about crap they went through in their life and how that is the reason they are messed up, I am going to think about Tyler Perry and what he has accomplished and how it is possible to cope and to overcome.

David Letterman Apologizes To His Wife

David Letterman took time out in his monologue last night to apologize to his wife and his employees. All weekend long new revelations about his affairs were released and they just don't seem to stop. I can't imagine what his wife is going through and if I were her I wouldn't even want to leave my house. Plus, their son is in school now so I wonder if he hears anything about the whole thing. I also think this is going to be drawn out over sometime because of the trial that will take place. This isn't going to go away in 24 hours but will return every month or so for the next year.

Kate Beckinsale Always Wanted A YoYo - Uses Dog Instead

I'm trying to figure out why Kate Beckinsale is holding her dog like this. There doesn't appear to be any life threatening reason why she would be holding the dog so it is choked. Maybe she was trying to show her daughter the principles of a yo-yo, or maybe was trying to show her what would happen to her if she didn't do her homework after school. If she wanted to life the dog, she could have lifted the dog and supported the dog's weight and not jerked the dog off the ground like this. The only thing missing is Kate twirling the dog in a circle and letting it fly. Just because your career is turning to crap doesn't mean you need to take it out on the dog.

Michael Lohan Says Lindsay Lohan Is Addicted To Prescription Drugs

I know Michael Lohan is a publicity whore, but I can't believe he actually came out and said his daughter is addicted to prescription drugs. I take that back. I could believe he would say such a thing if his reality show had been announced and he was plugging the premiere episode of it. But, with no Jon Gosselin signed as of yet, I am shocked he would admit his daughter is addicted and that now police will wonder who exactly is prescribing these drugs to Lindsay or if she is acquiring them illegally.

Michael told Radar, "I'm going to get her off the prescription drugs that she's on. I hate it when people talk about illegal drug abuse... because it's not just drinking and illegal drugs that kill you. Prescription drugs can destroy and kill a person and are sometimes harder to stop. Look at Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson."

He is basically daring the cops to investigate his daughter and her drug use. At this point the police need to have a look, because if Lindsay dies and the cops could have done something they will look like idiots. Of course Lindsay's parents already look like idiots because they should get her into rehab. If you say, "they can't force her into rehab and she needs to make that choice herself," you make a valid point. But, what they can do as parents is stop letting their 15 year old daughter Ali go out to clubs with their drug addicted daughter. They can do something about that and choose not to. When Lindsay went to Paris and Singapore who was there? Ali. A lot of f**king home schooling huh? Where is child services? Beginning today I am going to call child services here in Los Angeles everyday until they go out and investigate the living arrangements of Ali Lohan and Cody Lohan.

Michael also says drugs are the reason Lindsay isn't working.

"You know why Lindsay's not acting in feature films right now? Because she can't," he said. "Because the girl with all the talent is hidden and buried deep inside this fungus that's grown because of the prescription drugs. She can't be herself. When you hug her she's like, vacant inside. When she kisses or holds me I get chills, and not in a good way-in a bad way."

Matt Lucas' Ex-Husband Kills Himself

It was just ten months ago that Matt Lucas, one of the stars of Little Britain and his husband Kevin McGee got divorced. They weren't married for very long and apparently Kevin was devastated after the got divorced. Kevin killed himself last night after writing a suicide note on Facebook. Four hours after first posting the note online, police were tipped by one of Kevin's friends on Facebook and the police broke into Kevin's apartment and found him dead.

I wonder if someone had bothered to call the police sooner if he would still be alive. I wonder if it was a cry for help that would have stopped him if it had been answered or if no one could do anything to help. The screen cap from the Daily Mail eliminates much of the comments to the note, but maybe people should have made a call instead of just commenting that the note was dark.

Kevin's drug use over the past few months had been getting crazy so that may have contributed to the suicide.

Ryan Jenkins Blames Jasmine Fiore For Her Death

Police in Buena Park found the Will of Ryan Jenkins on the hard drive of his computer yesterday. The Will was written three days before he killed himself in a Canadian motel. The Will reads more like a letter than a traditional Will and the police are calling it a suicide note.

Ryan blames Jasmine Fiore for the mess he was in and that the only reason he found himself stuck in a motel in the middle of nowhere was because she was beautiful, he loved her and he was tired of her sleeping with ex-boyfriends. So, of course she is to blame for him killing her. Don't blame yourself for killing her or chopping off her fingers. Nope. Blame her. Yeah.

According to the police Ryan doesn't mention anything about Jasmine's death or how she died or that he was a suspect in her death which says that he did it. Apparently omissions are a bad thing when writing notes. Who knew?

"The lack of acknowledging that he'd just lost his wife speaks volumes."

The letter also apologized to his family for putting them through all the publicity. It didn't identify Jasmine's killer so Ryan's dad will still need to get those private investigators working to see if they can find her killer. This is going to be something that shows up on Dateline once a year where we see all these new theories about who killed her and how.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

In today's Daily Mirror we asked: Which star received angry glares from Simon Cowell and co as she kept indiscreetly disappearing off to the loos to "powder her nose"? Then later she heckled during the speeches...

Your extra clue: But she's normally so quiet.

Today's Blind Items

This married B+/A- list movie actress has a dog. The dog's name is the same as the name of our actress. The reason for this? According to the actress there are two reasons and I kid you not. This is what she said. "You can never have enough of a good thing and when I look at her it is like looking at a mirror." Oh, and to top off this absurdity her dog is a boy.

Random Photos Part One

Today is Kate Winslet's birthday. She is probably my favorite actress and is someone who doesn't take acting or herself too seriously. Plus she is gorgeous. Kate gets the top spot and the video below is a compilation of her appearance on the show Extras. Hilarious. Well worth the 8 minutes, plus you get Ricky Gervais as well.

A very rare appearance for the twins.
Zahara looks gorgeous and Shiloh has added a tie to go with dad's hat.
This is my favorite though. They are in Syria and the businessman behind them is posing even more than they are.
I'm guessing Anne Hathaway didn't eat anything at the restaurant and won't eat what is in this box either.
Hello Carla Gugino.
It's a tossup. I can't decide if Dave Navarro or Heidi Bell is wearing more makeup. Hey, at least they can shop at MAC together.
I swear I thought Kate Hudson's son had grown three feet overnight or that David Spade was wearing a wig.
2 out of 3 Jonas Brothers think running for charity is a good idea.
Milkshakes cause huge ugly zits. Mmmmmm.
Immediately after this picture was taken, Jamey Johnson, Willie Nelson & Dave Matthews gave a four hour lecture on the evils of smoking pot with special guest lecturer Snoop Dogg.
Yeah, that means you are together.
This is the look you get when you buy Jennifer Lopez a gift.
Jason Mraz - St. Louis
Jennifer Morrison needs work.
Why is Katy Perry smiling? Katy Perry just spent a week in Thailand having sex with Russell Brand. Russell has said he tries to sleep with 6 women each day. Now, according to the Centers For Disease Control the average woman has 6 sexual partners in her life. For the sake of argument lets say they had their complement prior to meeting Russell. So each day Russell sleeps with 6 women who each had sex with six people who each had sex with six people who each had sex with six people and at the end of it all you get a smiley, happy Katy Perry.

and Emma Bunton might want to rethink that whole Spice Girl reunion thing. Seems that Victoria Beckham is far too busy with her clothing line which bombed in the US and has disappointing sales all over the world to think about getting back together and singing.

Tom Cruise Gets Kicked In The Balls

In these photos you don't actually see Tom Cruise get kicked in the balls, and in fact he may not have got kicked in the balls, but I think most women who were yelled at in public by their husbands would definitely deliver a high hard one to the groin area.

In the first picture you see the happy, smiley, Cruise family jogging their little hearts out. You will note that in order to change things up they have added a son/stepson and have moved away from the matching outfits. You don't think they read this stuff? If we all said, "OMG I love how they match," you would have seen all three of them dressed like Donald Duck's nephews in the most matchy matchy outfits ever.

In the second picture, all pretense of civility has gone as Tom blasts Katie for not being as fast as a teenager and for letting down the side. He probably also threatened her with double auditing sessions or a visit to his porn stash if she didn't hustle.

I Hate Lindsay Lohan But...

So the world is abuzz (more pictures on the link) because of the disaster of a fashion show in Paris displaying Lindsay Lohan's first collection as a part of Emanuel Ungaro. I have read lots and lots of reviews and no one liked it. Editors ran from the show so they couldn't be trapped into answering reporters questions. Apparently this was the fashion equivalent of putting a McDonald's in the Louvre. The same weekend it was announced that the Mona Lisa will be asking patrons whether you want fries with that, here comes Lindsay Lohan consulting for one of the French fashion houses.

From what I understand Lindsay was just the consultant here and not the designer. Estrella Archs was the designer. Lindsay is the artistic adviser so I am trying to figure out how she is to blame other than the fact that when her job was announced, Ungaro's designer quit. This announcement left just three weeks for a new designer to be hired and to make an entire line of clothes. Sure, there were some ridiculous pieces in this show, but I have seen crazier things in lots of other French shows. As much as I dislike Lindsay and would like to see her disappear from my brain and memory forever, I didn't think this line was the worst thing ever when compared to other shows. Nothing ever looks like it can be worn even in what is supposed to be ready to wear. Did the pasties on the breasts look ridiculous? Sure, but so did the Hannibal Lecter masks last week in another show.

I will always be the first in line to take my turn at trashing Lindsay. In fact I will push and shove my way to the front, but I think if this show is truly awful the responsibility is more on the director of the company and the designer he hired and the bad publicity he knew would ensue from hiring someone as polarizing as Lindsay for one of France's traditional fashion houses rather than on Lindsay herself.

NY Post Blind Items

WHICH reality show star refused to put a house keeper on the books, worked her like a slave and paid her spottily in cash with no regard to her Social Security or her husband, who was being treated for cancer? . . .

WHICH pouty actress was recently spotted acting like a complete lush? She "got drunk and then threw herself all over a clubowner," according to our spies . . .

WHICH soon-to-be married heartthrob forced his wedding guests to sign confidentiality agreements before they got their wedding invitations?

TMZ Says John Travolta Is Still A Committed Scientologist

I don't really understand the purpose of why TMZ ran this article today. There is no real news in it and it just seems to be PR from Scientology.

The article doesn't really say anything new other than John Travolta used Scientology as therapy to get through his son Jett's death. I think the only purpose of the article was the huge headline saying John and the church are still tight. Who would send out a story like that? Hmmmm? TMZ says they got this from sources connected to John. Do you think maybe those sources are Scientologists?

I would love to see a statement from John or his BFF Kirstie Alley about all of this. They have always been so outspoken in the past with their support and admiration for the church, so how come we aren't getting that directly from them now? Everything is all quiet and hush-hush. What would happen if John left the church and decided to talk? I mean really talk with no concern about what was said about him for leaving? Do you think he could do that? Would the church fall apart? My guess is that right now things are in a stalemate situation, but something like this TMZ headline could push things in one direction or the other.

Finally - An Arrested Development Script

The Hollywood Reporter says that writing on the script for an Arrested Development movie has finally begun. It is about damn time. Previously, Hurwitz has said that he wouldn't start writing the script until every member of the cast had signed on to film the movie. I guess since he has started writing that must mean everyone is on board and ready to start shooting. The production is supposed to kick off in the spring. Fingers are crossed. Below are Season 2 bloopers. God I loved this show.

Anne Heche The Millionaire Thinks $3700 A Month For Her Kid Is Too Much

Anne Heche made about $1M last year. Now, I know it is not a spectacular amount compared to other celebrities, but compared to the rest of the world it is a lot of money. I think most people who made that much wouldn't really miss $45,000 a year especially if it was support for their child. Anne though feels that she is paying way too much money for the care of her son with Coley Lafoon.

"I pay an extraordinary amount of money to him, and it's unfortunate because it is what I believe keeps him from getting a job."

I would agree that $3700 a month would be an extraordinary amount of money to pay each month if you made say, $5000 a month or something like that, but when you make a $1M and probably spend $3700 a month on clothes or entertainment, I am less likely to take your side. This is not spousal support she is paying but is child support. For her child. Sure, her ex is using the money and if he feels like using it and not working so he can stay at home and take care of their son, then so be it. I really, really dislike when people complain about child support payments. I especially dislike it when the child is 7 years old and can Google his mom's name and sees what she said about him and his father.

How much do you suppose Anne spends on stupid stuff or on her child with her current boyfriend? Do you think she complains about that? I actually think $3700 is a little low for someone who makes as much as she does.

Madonna & Lady GaGa "Fight" On SNL

Dear Richard

Dear Richard,

How have you been my old friend? Well, not exactly an old friend or even a new friend, but how are you just the same? I heard space tourism isn’t doing as well as you had hoped. Does this mean you will be refocusing your efforts towards better service or entertainment for your passengers on Virgin? Might I suggest something which I saw this past weekend on an Air India flight I took from Sharjah to Delhi.

I know, I know it isn't the route one normally takes Richard, but I was feeling a bit plucky and said, "why not?" Oh, and I am ever so grateful I did Richard.

As you know Richard I have a fondness for Indian food and Bollywood cinema and so was looking forward to the inflight entertainment program. Imagine my surprise when the crew decided to perform live theatre right before our eyes. It was heaven. It started off with a flight attendant going forward to the cockpit where she was struck by one of the pilots and then shoved through the door back into the passengers. It almost looked real. Then the purser on the flight confronted the officer who pushed the flight attendant and at that point both pilot came out of the cockpit and began punching and fighting with the purser and some of the other crew.

It was tremendous. Of course no one was flying the plane, but Richard, oh Richard the passengers were enthralled. This was entertainment involving everyone. Well, at that point the entire crew took a short break for intermission as we had a stopover in Lucknow.

Lucky for the passengers who embarked in Lucknow they got to see Act 2 of this production as the crew decided that another round of yelling and fighting was needed to give the passengers value for their airline dollar. Fantastic Richard. It was I daresay a production that will be unmatched. It isn’t often you get both the pilot and co-pilot out of the cockpit at the same time to engage in something like that. Oh, sure there were some screams from the passengers when they realized no one was flying the plane holding 300 people, but those who recognized the good entertainment value like myself simply applauded and shouted, “Bravo,” asking for more.

The reviews must have been poor though Richard because the plane was met by Air India personnel and the crew were all suspended pending an investigation. Oh sure they could have drawn more blood or raised the tension up a few more notches, but for live, in-flight entertainment from amateurs I think it was splendid.

LeAnn Rimes Is A Stalker

Apparently Jennifer Jason Leigh is getting a run for her money because according to Brandi Glanville, LeAnn Rimes is basically stalking Brandi and the kids. Brandi is the woman you never heard of two months ago when you discovered she was married to Eddie Cibrian who was also probably unknown to you until you learned he was having sex with LeAnn Rimes.

LeAnn has always lived in Santa Monica. Well, not always. She didn't grow up in Santa Monica. She grew up in Garland Texas. No offense, but I have been to Garland Texas and I know why she lives in Santa Monica. LeAnn though, wanted to be close to her new family so she recently bought a house in Calabasas in addition to her Santa Monica house. She bought it for herself and Eddie and according to Brandi as kind of a stalking base camp. Brandi thinks it is because LeAnn is unstable. I think it is because Eddie wanted to be close to his kids. Brandi says, "I have a new neighbor and her name is LeAnn Rimes. She's moved in a half a mile from my house and a block from my son's school. So she is completely space invading me at the moment so things are not cool."

How come Brandi doesn't mention Eddie? It would be strange if Eddie wasn't with LeAnn, but Eddie is with LeAnn at the house which makes it much more normal. Brandi does throw out a movie reference though which is always fun. "There is a point where she needs to have a sensitive side and back the F up. Honestly, she's Single White Female-ing me. She wants my life. She wants my kids. She wants my husband. She can have most of everything but just not my children or my family."

Who thinks there is going to be a confrontation at some point with screaming and police and paps? Can't wait.

The World Is A Gosselin World And We're Just Living In It

I have decided that the entire world revolves around the Gosselins. It used to revolve around Paris Hilton and some days it shifts to another person or story, but for the most part now the world is all Gosselin 24/7. The only bright side I have seen to this entire story is it is giving you a very good view at a mid-life crisis and what happens when someone is going through one and has a little bit of fame and a little bit of money. It also shows you why if you are getting divorced you should take out half the money from any joint bank accounts you have because otherwise it will be emptied by your spouse.

According to Kate Gosselin, Jon took $230,000 of the $231,000 they had in their joint bank account leaving her absolutely nothing to pay any bills or to take care of the 8 kids. Jon told her to f**k off and that he needed some Ed Hardy. Kate has previously taken $100K from the account but put it back so she wouldn't be violating a court order. Here is what you do. Take your half before you go to court and then you don't have to worry about any order. If you try and play the nice person you will end up with nothing. Do I believe Kate can't pay the bills? Hell no, but most people in her situation would not be able to. If you know you are going to file for divorce get out your share of the money before you file. Call all the credit card companies and cancel your cards. Protect yourself because once those papers have been filed don't count on your spouse to play nice. If you want to see Kate whine and cry and then perk up as she talks about her new talk show and how she is made for television and then realize she needs some more tears so tells some story about a ring with 8 diamonds and a mother of pearl then you can watch the video.

Ted C. Blind Item

This is not a joke: Poor closeted movie star Toothy Tile, last caught pitifully fooling around with blow and broads, is more recently causing his friends to worry something fierce about his head.

And I don't mean the kind he prefers getting in West Hollywood parking lots.

As our beloved Mr. T's same-sex desires (and née partnership) have been cast as far back in the closet as Kevin Spacey appears to be, Toothy's extremely tight band of friends are fretting for the fella's emotional well-being?and rightfully so.

"We're wondering when he's going to crack," said one of the slightly lesser-inside chums to the notoriously private actor. "I keep hearing from everybody else that he's about to pop, but it's weird, whenever I see him, he acts like everything's cool. I think he only shows that side of himself to a couple of people."

And those people are telling other people who are telling me:

* Toothy's current and arranged girlfriend is starting to "really get on his nerves," particularly when she cleans up after Toothy, who's apparently a bit of a clumsy eater.
* Toothy's getting fed up with having to keep his (currently reinvented) relationship with Grey Goose in the dark and is threatening his publicists and hangers-on with outing both himself and Grey?which would then, ironically, ruin Grey's own beard relationship, not that anybody really cares, so never mind.
* Toothy's been heard complaining to his advisers that the Biz angle they've chosen for him is not exactly panning out, so "what has it been for?," as Toothy has cried.
* Toothy's so frustrated by being a nonperson, as it were (and how he deems it, quite unlike many other fellow Hollywood celebs who are perfectly happy to sell their empty souls to the tabloid devil), he's become unnaturally obsessed with his abs, a subject years prior, when he was happier with Grey, he didn't give an ef about.

Toothy, Toothy, Toothy!

Please give up this hideous fake life while you can?and before you turn into one of these six-packed prima donnas who have about as much to say in life as does Kristin Cavallari. We know the real Toothy's dying to come out.

Let him!

(Hey, Neil Patrick Harris still has an OK gig, ya know).

It Ain't: Kevin Spacey, Bradley Cooper, Robert Pattinson
