Today's Blind Items

This married, aging, Academy Award winning actor is no stranger to divorce. If his current wife gets wind of what he's doing there may soon be another. Our actor has been "researching" a role for a new movie and to help with that research he has been flying in a B list Venezuelan soap and movie actress he met on a recent trip there. She recently quit the soap on which she is starring because our actor was paying her more money to fly to the US every two weeks than she would earn on the show. Our actor has met her in at least four cities over the past two months. Not Sean Penn.

Andy Hallett - RIP
It is always a good thing when Will Arnett and Jason Batemen get together. If only this was them filming Arrested Development.
Alec Baldwin and his "guest." At this point she looks so drunk, it is like he is carrying a mannequin around. Come to think of it, with Alec, you just never know.

Kellie Pickler was there, but not in a kilt.

Whitney Port - Film Critic & Idiot

As I have said several times on the site, I have read all the Twilight books. I didn't think they were the greatest things ever, but I did think as the series went on and the author had better editors, the books were decent. I have yet to see the movie due to an ongoing bet which is neither here nor there, but does involve whether or not $240 makes a certain amount of pudding. It is long and complicated unlike Whitney Port.

Whitney decided to go ahead and just drive a stake(nice pun huh) through her career as a reality star by trashing the movie Twilight. I don't care if it is the worst thing she has ever seen, you don't tell an MTV reporter that it was bad or that the acting was bad. Has she seen her own show? Note to Whitney. Besides thinking you are too good for yourself, you might want to take a look at the demographics of your show. The people who watch your show are the ones who love Twilight, whether it be the books or the movies. And, when it comes to them choosing who they would rather watch, I'm pretty sure they are going to stick with Twilight.

You don't tick off the fans who gave you just enough ratings to earn another paycheck for a year. What you do is you tell them how much you love Robert Pattinson and leave it at that. Instead she called the acting horrible, the chemistry between the two stars awful and that doesn't see what all the fuss is about. Hear those crickets? They are the only ones who will be watching your show next season.

Madonna's Prospective Baby Has More Relatives Than I Do

I was reading an Associated Press report about Mercy James which, lets face it is a great name for a band, and everyone AP interviewed is a relative of Mercy. Previously, Madonna or her people or someone had said that the mother died during childbirth and no one had any idea where the dad was.

To me, that seems like a good person to adopt. Then, Madonna gets to Malawi and reporters start sniffing around and the next thing you know, grandma comes out of hiding yesterday and says her piece. Well, grandma isn't the only relative to speak out. Now it turns out Mercy has uncles who are involved in her life and her father does see her. The reason he doesn't see more of her is unclear, but one report suggested it is because he is off earning a living in a different part of the country, and is unable to afford to come back very often.

I am all for adoption and understand Mercy would have a much better chance of succeeding in life and living longer if she lived with Madonna. However, I also don't know about this taking a child from so many extended relatives who are there if Mercy needs them. This is such a tough concept and the frame of reference here in the west is just completely different.

Oh, and yesterday, Madonna confirmed she is trying to adopt. Umm, yeah, we kind of got that when you showed up in court before a judge, but thanks anyway for the heads up.

15 People Fired For Looking At Octo-Mom's Hospital Records

15 people over at Kaiser have lost their jobs and another 8 were disciplined for looking through Nadya Suleman's medical file. The sad thing is they probably could have got just as much information from reading the internet or watching the news. It doesn't appear that anyone sold anything to the tabloids. I can't believe none of them thought about selling the information. They knew they would be fired for looking if they were caught, so you might as well get something in return. It isn't like you will ever get another job in a hospital. It probably doesn't look very good to go to any employer, let a lone another hospital and when they ask why you were fired you reply that you were snooping through private medical records.

I understand human nature is a very curious thing, but to lose your job over her just seems pointless. Apparently the hospital knew in advance that their employees would be curious and actually held training sessions and reminded them daily about patient confidentiality. I understand why they were fired. I just wish if they were going to be nosy and get fired they could have picked someone other than Octo-Mom to file snoop. How about Tom Cruise or Suri or whether Pamela Anderson has just been making up this whole Hepatitis thing for the past few years.

Holly Madison Cracks Me Up

Not content to just bide her time for the next few days until she is kicked of Dancing With The Stars, Holly Madison is trying to stay relevant and look important. Do you remember the Kim Kardashian airbrushing controversy from last week? Well, yeah, I didn't think it was world economic crisis material, but it is always fun to see the before and after.

It was a one day thing and Kim K released an idiotic statement and it should have been over. Instead, Holly decided she also had something to contribute to the discussion. She said that Kim was beautiful, and that she shouldn't have to change a thing. I agree. Hey, I agreed with Holly Madison. Then, she took the time to remind us of what an important figure she was over at the Playboy empire. I seriously was going to write about this yesterday, but everytime I would reread the article I would start crying from laughing so hard and had to write about other things.

"One of my pet peeves is too much Photoshop. When I worked at Playboy, I was always really strict that the Photoshop we used on the girls was minimal."

So, I gather from this statement that if we looked at before and afters of Holly's photos there would be very little airbrushing. Uh huh. Right. She is so full of crap and such a hypocrite. But what made me laugh hysterically was the part about her being really strict. Umm. Who here thinks Holly made any decisions whatsoever about anything that went into the magazine, let alone laid down the law about how much Photoshop to use. Please. Her job was to pretend to make decisions while the cameras were running and even then you could see that Hef was just playing along.

Strict implies she was in charge of someone or something or the photos that went into the magazine. I don't think she was, and if she was, I would like to see the before and afters of not only her photos, but the ones she "supervised."

Sinning Again, But This Was Bugging Me

Last week when Lindsay Lohan's assistant wrecked Lindsay's Maserati, I was thinking to myself that her leggings must be doing much better than I thought for her to be able to afford that car. Yes, it could be a lease, but she already leases a Mercedes and she doesn't have that much income. Lets face it, there is only so much that one woman can take from another woman's purse before she catches on. A Maserati payment is likely to be noticed.

Well, TMZ asked themselves the same damn question and they found the answer. See what happens when you actually do this for a living instead of as a hobby. They tracked down the actual owner of the car. You won't know who he is, but he is one of the bigger porn kings in LA. That is all he does is produce XXX porn. No soft porn for Cinemax or shadows and lights, just hard porn. It is very interesting that he let Lindsay just borrow the car and is paying to have it fixed and going to let her continue borrowing it. TMZ says there is no XXX trade off in all this, but I'm wondering if there isn't some other kind of trade off involved in all of this.

A brand new $115,000 car and you are letting Lindsay Lohan borrow it? Now, I am no stranger to letting people borrow a car as long time readers of the blog know, but it is generally limited to very good friends and the dollar value of the vehicle is much, much lower. They also haven't been arrested for DUI or been on a high speed chase.

I can't decide if the guy is hoping for Lindsay in a porn, or if she is sleeping with him or he wants Sam to DJ a party for him. The photos are courtesy of TMZ.

Real Housewife Announces Divorce The Same Day Her Book Tour Starts

I love the coincidences in the entertainment business. Who would have thought that on the day Countess Luann de Lesseps book tour begins for "Class With The Countess," she would also reveal that she is getting a divorce from her husband Count de Lesseps. The timing is amazing.

According to the NY Post, the Countess is devastated. Not stay at home and cry with the kids devastated. I mean the book tour must go on. The husband doesn't even live in the US. He just comes over when he wants to see the kids or have sex with his wife. One day he wouldn't answer the phone when she called and he later admitted he was seeing a woman while staying in Geneva.

She doesn't say when that incident occurred or when he e-mailed her to let her know he was having an affair. But, whenever it was, the Countess made sure it was announced just in time for the book. I think this happened quite awhile ago. There have been to many sightings with Luann and other guys she has been allegedly dating.

The Countess plans to remain friends with the Count, and blah, blah, blah. Oh, and she wants you to buy her book.

Oprah Sex Scandal

I like the headline. You know it couldn't actually be about Oprah. Honestly, I don't know if I could envision an actual Oprah sex scandal like a sex tape or something. That would probably be the most shocking gossip ever. This one is actually about Oprah's school. It hasn't been in the news since last year when there was a sex scandal there.

Now, according to the NY Daily News, seven students have been suspended from school for violations ranging from sexual harassment to being caught fondling each other, to attempted coercion of fondling.

Oprah must hate that the school is back in the news again for this. Her school will never be in the news for anything good it does. I'm not actually sure how much good it does do. I'm also extremely curious to find out whether any of the students suspended were in fact any of the 15 people sexually abused by the matron at the school last year.

I'm still not satisfied at all with the way Oprah handled that entire situation last year. It also seems there is still a lot of activity that is going on which is not being reported. The only reason this came to light was one of the girls was really strong arming every other girl in school to lie about what she had sexually done to another girl. It just got to be too much.

Today's Blind Items

Last week, I told you about the actress who was bulimic. Well, guess what. It turns out that bulimia is not limited to actresses. How can I describe this person without giving it all away? The problem is that he does everything in the business. Singer. Actor. Even more actually. While not A list at any of them, he definitely has B+/A- name recognition. You might not put the face with the name, but when you hear the name, you will have heard of him. That is a really long description, but a blind item like this deserves a nice build up.

This weekend our actor was at Katsuya. He goes there frequently, although this was only the second time our spy saw him. Our actor ordered 2 orders of the rock shrimp tempura. Here is where it gets interesting, and a little wasteful if you ask me. Our actor chews the shrimp, but never actually swallows them. Instead he chews them, and then spits them out into a cup. He is a nice guy though. The first time he did this there, he went to the back of the place and washed his own cup. Anyway, this time while he was there performing his ritual, he accidentally swallowed some of the shrimp, and immediately ran for the bathroom where he stayed for the next 20 minutes. He then returned to his seat and started chewing and spitting again.

Sam Roberts is your Artist of The Year at this year's Juno Awards, so he gets the top spot. It is also his first time in the photos, and has therefore achieved the rare double double. Yes, the award is named after the In-N-Out burger of the same name. So, you know it is truly a prestigious honor.
I feel bad because I'm always posting photos of Zac and Vanessa and tend to ignore Ashley Tisdale. Well, today, Ashley can have the spotlight.
How long has it been for Bo Derek and John Corbett?
Do you remember when Jerry Springer would have shows about moms in their 40's who were acting like their teenage daughter? Yeah, I know it also usually involved mom trying to have sex with her daughter's friends, but you miss the point. Actually, I don't even know what my point was going to be except that Cameron needs to stop dressing herself.
The Emily. It just doesn't work as well. I need to come up with a nickname for Emily Deschanel. Sure, Mrs. Enty would work.
I don't know if I have ever seen the entire Ethan Embry family out somewhere.
Ellen Pompeo out doing some good work at Boston's Children Hospital. Judging by the sign, they knew she was coming and to have the cameras ready. I'm also guessing that most of the kids have no idea who she is, but at least she went, so I will keep my mouth shut.
Frankie Muniz and as he made perfectly clear, his girlfriend, Elycia Turnbow. He said it so many times, it makes you wonder how often he has had one.
