Travis Barker Goes Off On The Paps

Apparently Travis Barker has a certain disdain for the paps. Supposedly over the weekend, Travis was on the way into a restaurant. He was stopped by several members of the paparazzi and they allegedly threatened him while he was with his kids. After he ate, Travis confronted brand new members of the paparazzi but decided they also had cameras so they were good for nothing more than being spit on, hit and having the tires to their cars slashed. Showing no remorse, Travis took to his Twitter and said the paps deserved it for threatening him when he was with his kids. I can't believe he spit on them. Well, actually I can believe he did, but it is such awful behavior that you would think he would know better. His kids are just learning the greatest life lessons from Travis and Shana. They both must be so proud.

Jon Voight Gets A Second Chance

Italy is for lovers and also it looks like for family reunions. Brangelina is pulling out all the stops in their press parade as this weekend, Jon Voight was photographed reuniting with his estranged daughter Angelina Jolie and what looks like Zahara. Of course all the tabloids are saying that it is Brad Pitt who arranged it all and kept telling Angelina to reunited with her father. Meh, I don't really know if he did but who is going to say he didn't. What I do know is that Jon should probably keep his mouth shut this time about what goes on with his daughter and her family or he might never get another reunion.

Little People Are Strippers Too

Let it be said that Rihanna's boyfriend is an equal opportunity employer. Not only is he willing to make sure that police and court personnel have jobs keeping up with his domestic violence complaints, but he is also willing to hire little people as strippers. To me nothing says class like hiring a stripper for your girlfriend's birthday party. I mean look at everyone all dressed up in the picture and Matt hired a stripper? Look, if you like strippers then by all means get your significant other a stripper, I just am not sure this looks like the type of party where a stripper would necessarily be appreciated. On the other hand, Rihanna does seem to be enjoying herself. How exactly do you even locate little people who are strippers?

Brooke Mueller Leaves Rehab - Not What You Think

When I first saw the report on TMZ that Brooke Mueller had left rehab I assumed it was because she needed a fix. While she may in fact be in dire need of a fix the reason she left is because someone who works at the rehab facility was trying to sell Brooke's admission documents to media outlets. The documents go into great detail exactly why Brooke was in rehab. I would imagine that all media outlets would run away from actual documents. Gossip is great and if you can find out why someone is in rehab from their friends or family that to me is fair game. They shared it with people who are free to share it or not with others. However, when you start talking about the doctors or other staff at a hospital sharing medical information then I think that is wrong and I applaud TMZ for walking away from the documents and not trying to buy them.

I Love It When PR Reps Fight

So, Abbie Cornish and Ryan Phillipe have called it quits. I think I did a blind item about them a month or two ago. I need to dig it up. Anyway, Ryan's people said this, "Ryan ended the relationship with Abbie recently while she was in Australia and asked her to remove her things from his residence, which she did this weekend."

Meanwhile, Abbie wanted to be make sure the world knew who really did the breaking up so her person said this, "Abbie ended the relationship with Ryan and she moved out of their home."

You just know that if their reps are fighting about who ended the relationship it must have been a really bitter breakup which can only mean good things once one of them has to do a publicity tour and gets asked about it. Both of them will probably say some truly nasty things about the other which is what makes gossip extra juicy.

Let Betty White Host SNL Alone

While I am grateful for Saturday Night Live at least thinking about signing Betty White to host an episode of the show, I think they are doing a great disservice to her and to seniors in general when they say they don't think she is capable of hosting the entire 90 minutes solo. According to Michael Ausiello, Betty is very close to signing on to hosting SNL, but the executives over there (read Lorne Michaels) want her to have some help. Namely they want to add in to the mix Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. I love both of them, but I think Betty can manage to host a 90 minute show. First of all there are about 30 minutes of commercials. Second of all there are about ten minutes of music and ten minutes of the news so that leaves us with about 40 minutes. Are you telling me that Betty can't handle 40 minutes of skits? She does movies and television. She does the press work for each of those and so much more. She fights for animal rights and I think it sucks that after all this grass root level work that they won't let her have her minute in the sun. It isn't like SNL is killing it in the ratings. What are they going to do? Let her have one or two skits? That sucks.

Steve Williams Is Going To Be A Busy Guy

Do you know who Steve Williams is? Well, he is the long time caddy to Tiger Woods. He says that when Tiger returns to golf he won't ask his boss about anything that has gone on since Thanksgiving and he also promises to protect him against hecklers who follow Tiger while he is playing. That will be some full time duty there because one of the things about golf and its fans is that the days are long and they are generally pretty well lubricated with alcohol by the time a player like Tiger tees off. I can think of lots of great heckles for people when they see Tiger play.

"Strippers. Get your strippers."

"Duck. Here comes a golf club."

"Hey. Tiger. Look. Derek Jeter is naked."

I could go on all day.

Andrew Koenig Is Missing

I saw the headline Growing Pains star is missing and I have to say that until I saw the picture of his character, I had no idea who Andrew Koenig was. His father said the actor who is probably the only television character named Boner went missing while visiting Vancouver. He had been in Toronto and was due to spend some time in Vancouver before heading back to Los Angeles. I can only hope the guy is ok. His father has said that Andrew was battling depression. All I can say is that it sounds like he has lots to live for and a lot of people to love him, so hope everything turns out ok
