Angelina and Brad's Namibian Getaway


We have sort of exclusive googled-derived pictures of the Namibian resort that Brad and Angelina have booked out just in case Angelina decides to give birth in Africa.

The world's most famous couple have holed up in the "Burning Shore Lodge" in Namibia. Angelina is said to be uncertain if she wants to give birth in Africa or France, and Brad is along for the ride. They have a jet on standby in case they choose to return for Paris in time for the birth of their first biological child.

Reports say Angelina and Brad have booked up all "seven" rooms in the resort for three months, but there are seven rooms and five suites, so the reports are probably mistaken.

Nestled amidst this ethereal beauty, on the edge of the largest sand dunes in the world, overlooking the mighty expanse of the Atlantic Ocean in between Swakopmund and Walvis Airport is the Burning Shore beach lodge.

A modern, luxurious establishment, this ocean-side lodge is locatedon Long Beach just south of the unique quaint town of Swakopmund.

It offers 7 Luxury Rooms and 5 Luxury Suites, all enjoying private bathroom facilities.

Prices range from a modest $134 to $268 per night for two people. By our crude calculations, a three month stay in the entire hotel would cost around $240,000 USD.

The couple have been plagued by fighting and breakup rumors, which initially seemed like heresay but have come to ring true to us.

In Touch reports that Brad and Angelina are fighting over common issues like:

Schooling the kids:
Angelina has told Brad she wants to home-school her kids so they’ll be free to travel the world. “It didn’t fit with Brad’s plan at all,” says an insider and a friend, adding that he hopes Angelina will change her mind so that the new baby and adopted kids (Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 15 months) grow up in a more traditional home.

Angelina feels trapped:
As her due date nears, the magazine reports that friends say Angelina Jolie is starting to feel trapped in her relationship with Brad Pitt. She even insisted he go to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic to check out real estate because “she wanted her space.”

An Illegitimate baby:
They can’t seem to agree on anything lately,” says another confidante, adding that the pair has been arguing about everything from where baby, [sic] to whether or not to marry before the birth.

Hopefully some time away from the paparazzi and pressures of the city will help bring their relationship back on solid ground.

Here are our exclusively google-found pictures of the resort where Brad and Angelina are staying.

Six more pictures after the jump.

Jessica Simpson forgets who pays her for what


Jessica Simpson is being sued by a clothing company for $100 million for breach of contract:

According to the complaint, filed in New York State Supreme Court by the Tarrant Apparel Group, Simpson inked a multimillion-dollar three-year licensing deal in December 2004 to launch a line of low-priced jeans and clothing.

Under the terms of the agreement, Simpson was supposed to be "actively involved" in promoting the garb, including wearing items from the line at "public events, shows and appearances" whenever "reasonably practicable..."

The company contends the Dukes of Hazzard star even refused to be photographed wearing items from the JS by Jessica Simpson and Princy collections, and that when asked by the press to name her favorite brand of jeans at an event last year, she replied "True Religion," rather than "Princy."

Now Mischa Barton realizes that she has to talk about Keds as part of her endorsement deal, but Jessica Simpson has a clothing line named after her and still can't remember to plug it.

Simpson might just be fed up with endorsements. She sued an autoracing company two years ago for not paying her a mere $140,000 for wearing a T-Shirt with their logo on it in one of her videos.

Here she is in an older photo shoot for "Lovable Bras." At least that's a product she doesn't have to worry about wearing out.

Kevin Federline feels lame because his wife is so much better than him


Kevin Federline and Britney Spears are reportedly fighting because KFed feels that Britney steals all the attention at events promoting his album. Both Star Magazine and Life and Style report that Federline feels lame because he can't get any recognition on his own. The gossip rags have a similar take on Kevin's promotional appearance at Club X in Dallas on April 1st.

Life and Style reports:

But the crowd responded differently when Britney Spears arrived. “Kevin performed a few songs live from the DJ booth,” Mike Esterman, who booked the party, tells Life & Style.

“But when Britney walked in, the crowd went crazy.”

“It’s always about Britney — or Britney and Kevin as a couple — but these events are about Kevin,” says a K-Fed insider, who adds that Kevin arrived at the club solo to keep the spotlight on him only. (Brit arrived about half an hour later.) “I’m not even sure Kevin thought she was coming, because he was just focusing on himself.”

And Star says:

"Kev wanted Brit to back off some," a club insider tells Star People.

"He didn't want her there to steal his thunder. He feels that whenever Britney is around, she inevitably gets all the attention. However, a source close to Britney, 24, says she's the one who's mad, thanks to Kevin, 28, and his oversize ego.

"What he doesn't seem to understand," the source fumes, "is that the only reason anyone is interested in him is because he's Britney Spears' husband. He would not have an album if it weren't for Britney."

While Britney's right about being the bigger star, she has mistaken ideas about where she should focus her efforts. She seems to think her forgettable drop-in appearance on Will and Grace is the beginning of an actual acting career:

In Touch Weekly reports that after that recent performance on “Will and Grace” Spears is hoping to become a TV star. The reviews weren't pretty - and the weekly magazine displays [some] in their Friday edition.

“She hasn’t stretched this much since she took on the role of impressive pop singer.”
— Neal Justin, staff writer, Minneapolis Star Tribune

“She has no presence, she struck awkward poses in terribly unflattering outfits and the drawl wasn’t very convincing.”
— Matt Roush, senior TV critic, tvguide.com

In case you doubt these negative reviews, you can watch Britney's "acting" for yourself. She is a bigger star than her husband - but she's a pop singer, not an actress:

Pink can't stop talking


Pink visited a Toronto area private high school on Friday to spread her mixed message of sexy female rebellion. It's nice that she's trying to reach the youth, but she didn't say anything we haven't heard before, and her visit seemed more like another photo op to promote her album:

  • "My definition (of a stupid girl) is any girl who wastes her opportunity trying to be like somebody else, because we're all pretty awesome."

  • "You always look at the TV and always see these girls that are really skinny and really pretty — not everyone looks like that."

  • "Every image we see is you have to be a size zero. you have to have a certain handbag . . . don't contribute anything to the world just shop all day," she said.

  • On the topic of boys, Pink told the students to force them "to deal with our minds before our bodies."

    "Guys are going to like us anyway. We don't have to take our clothes off for them to like us and chase us around. It's gonna happen," she said.

  • Pink, there's a big difference between being 26 and being 16. There's a lot of pressure on young girls to look and act a certain way, and your comments seem simplistic and dismissive. Then again, maybe we're just sick of reading about everything you say.

    Pink also performed at the Much Music studios that same day.

    Here are pictures from Pink's high school talk and her arrival at Much Music. The Much Music pictures are after the jump.

    Carmen Electra plays enthusiastically for the other team


    Carmen Electra, who recently admitted to having a crush on Joan Jett as a teenager, and who kissed Victoria Silvstedt on French TV (link leads to YouTube), performed a show with her burlesque troupe, Carmen Electra and the Bombsell Babes, at a lesbian event in California last month. She loved the reception from the ladies so much that she said she only wants to perform for lesbians from now on:

    Fans went crazy at the Palm Springs [golf classic] event, which has turned into an annual lesbian gathering, when Electra’s band took to the stage.

    The actress said: "We got such a great reception. I only want to perform for lesbians from now on!

    “It was awesome, it was wall-to-wall girls and they were just so enthusiastic and so much fun. I love them!

    She added, "We made it a little bit sexier. They went a little crazy."

    From what we've seen, the show is a little racy but tame by most standards. My husband watched this clip with me, and lamented that the women didn't take their clothes off, and that there was no lesbian crowd visible. I told him that it was a video from a different show.

    Update: Carmen rode the Sybian on the Howard Stern show today. [via]

    Katie gets some extra brainwashing


    Star speculates that Katie is having second thoughts about her involvement in the Scientology cult and having a Scientology birth because she's spending 8 hours a day at the Celebrity Scientology Center with Tom, which means that she needs extra convincing:

    (Katie) spends day after day — up to eight hours at a stretch -- at the Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood, often with Tom, 43, by her side. Now, Star Magazine says it has learned what's going on behind those closed doors:

    "If they're going to the center together regularly, it means that she is definitely resistant to something," a Scientology expert who prefers to remain unnamed tells Star.

    "It wouldn't surprise me if Katie secretly wanted out of Scientology, out of her relationship with Tom, or both." The source says that at the center, "they are probably putting tremendous pressure on Katie to find out if she has any second thoughts about Scientology."

    If the Scientologists were clever about it they would let off from Katie and let her come around gradually and think it's her own idea - kind of like Stockholm syndrome.

    While the media focusses on the fact that she's supposed to remain silent during the birth, no one has really picked up the story that her baby will be left entirely alone on its first day in the world, and then removed from her and cared for by Scientology handlers for three days. That's even crazier and more cruel than asking a woman to stay silent during childbirth.

    Fellow cult member Kelly Preston tries to clarify that a silent birth is all about being polite:

    "Screaming is fine ... It's the words. If you can avoid saying certain phrases and words ... Just try to keep it as quiet as possible. Of course you're going to groan and yell. It hurts. Just keep it to a minimum."

    Here's Katie out shopping yesterday for paper goods. A commenter on the board where we found the pictures (although they're originally from Just Jared) said that her Scientology handler(s) had enough sense to keep out of the picture.

    Kate Moss doesn't care


    Kate Moss does drugs and gets caught on tape, but gets off scott free. She dates a notorious addict and miscreant, and still gets high profile modeling contracts. Her latest deal is with Calvin Klein for $875,000. She's 32 years old now so she doesn't have many modeling years left in her, but given her luck she'll get endorsement deals into her late 30s and early 40s.

    Despite the fact that her looks are the only commodity she has, she smokes. She just doesn't give a shit, and she may even marry Pete Doherty.

    Here's Moss in NY yesterday outside a restaurant in the West Village. She has a younger brother, Nick, who is also a model, but it was difficult to find information on him and we're not sure if he's the young guy in the pictures with her. (There's a picture of Moss and Nick on the cover of W Magazine, but the guy on the magazine looks older than the one in these pictures. Still, they look similar and it's hard to tell.)

    Teri Hatcher cries while giving a speech about her childhood abuse


    Teri Hatcher broke down and cried at a press conference in Beverly Hills yesterday. She cohosted the press conference with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to announce the 3rd annual Women's World Awards. Gorbachev seemed more interested in her breasts than what she was saying.

    Hatcher got emotional when talking about the sexual abuse she suffered as a child:

    “Recently I had the honor, really, of being able to come forward and help raise awareness of some violence against women..."

    She was referring to a recent Vanity Fair interview in which she said she was molested by her uncle when she was 5 years old and living in Sunnyvale. When she learned in 2002 that a 14-year-old victim of her uncle had committed suicide, Hatcher approached Santa Clara County prosecutors.

    After Hatcher came forward, the uncle, Richard Hayes Stone, pleaded guilty to four counts of child molestation in the case of the 14-year-old victim and received 14 years in prison.

    “There are many women who suffer with these traumatic experiences their whole lives, and they keep those things a secret,” Hatcher said, her eyes welling with tears. “They spend some of their lives feeling that the fault of things that have happened to them was something that they caused.

    “These experiences ... leave us with a choice, a choice to use our experiences to enlighten and empower and change people’s lives, and that is a choice I am getting behind.”

    You can hardly blame her for crying, and it's brave of her to speak out. We were going to point out that she looks like Janice Dickinson here, but considering the sensitivity of the topic that would be cruel.

    Lindsay Lohan is hanging out with a 37 year-old director this week


    Lindsay Lohan may have struck out with George Clooney, but she seems to have successfully snared a different older man. Lohan, 19, has been spotted with 37 year-old Rush Hour director, Brett Ratner:

    Over at Hollywood’s famous Chateau Marmont hotel, guests are not seeing things. Lindsay Lohan, America’s favorite whipping girl, has been spending time with “Rush Hour” director Brett Ratner. They’ve been seen together in various modes of dining and socializing in the lobby bar and garden restaurant, according to my Hollywood spies. Of course, Lohan been seen with lots of famous types at the Chateau, my sources point out.
    [via]

    Lohan has also been to Ratner's house, but sources say that lots of people are in and out of the place and that her visits were innocent.

    We doubt it will last, since Lohan's relationships never do.

    Here she is outside a beauty salon in Beverly Hills this week.

    Update: Pictures of Lohan out in Hollywood last night at a Flaunt magazine party. (The man pictured with her is a chef at the party and is not the director she has been spotted with.)

    Victoria Beckham skis in the nude... almost


    Victoria Beckham wore a tank top in 5 degree weather while in the French Alps this week. She paraded around on the snow for photographers, and wisely put on a jacket before hitting the slopes.

    Obviously, no one has told the formerly Posh one it's just not ladylike to show off your bra, even when it's accessorised by a designer ski suit.

    The mum-of-three didn't seem to feel the cold - or maybe she was just basking in the attention of all the photographers.

    Still, unlike her most recent ski trip, Victoria, 31, at least made it out on the piste in the French resort of Courchevel.

    Beckham wore a marginally more practical leather ski outfit for her last outing on the slopes.

    Beckham has been rumored to be pregnant with her fourth child with soccer star David Beckham. We would say it's probably not true since she's been spotted drinking, but Gwyneth Paltrow has shown that you only have to be British at heart to justify fetal alcohol syndrome.

    Kate Beckinsale is not in talks to play Wonder Woman


    We know it's hard to believe that Kate Beckinsale is not in talks to play Wonder Woman since you read about it everywhere.

    As we reported yesterday and are repeating so that we have an excuse to post these pictures of Beckinsale working out, the stories were based on an April Fool's blog post that got picked up by IMDB news. Here's what we wrote:

    Site JoBlo.com ran a parody article stating that Beckinsale had been cast in the role and attributed obviously fabricated quotes to the director, like "I couldn't tell you how many actresses...I'm talking married women here, promised to blow me left, right and center if I gave them the part."

    IMDB picked up the story and sourced JoBlo, changing the details so that Beckinsale was in talks for the role, but had not yet been cast.

    Paula Abdul gets beat up!


    You probably heard this already, but I just wanted to post some of the many unflattering pictures of Paula Abdul. Abdul was out at an after-hours party in Hollywood when she ran into a former Creative Artists talent agent, Jim Lefkowitz, who is said to have been offended by her attitude. Abdul said that "a man she knew" threw her against the wall that night leaving her with a concussion and spinal injuries. Her attacker is assumed to be Lefkowitz, although that has not been confirmed.

    Her exboyfriend was out with her and also suffered injuries that night. It is thought that he was defending her:

    Us has learned that the night also ended with Abdul’s ex-boyfriend Dante Spencer in the hospital. According to a source, last Saturday night Abdul and friends headed to Xenii (a floating after-hours party held in a different location each week), where she ran into former CAA agent Jim Lefkowitz.

    Abdul suffers from a neurological disorder called complex regional pain syndrome that may have made her injuries worse. She used the disorder to explain her erratic behavior on American Idol last season, but it does not seem sufficient to explain away her current problems on the show.

    Here's Abdul on March 23 looking out of it at "An Evening with Liza Minnelli" presented by The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

    Paris Hilton: "I'm an icon"


    First Paris Hilton thinks she's on par with Charlize Theron when the biggest movie to her credit is "House of Wax" and the upcoming "Pledge This" and now she thinks she's an international pop star despite not having released an album:

    Hilton enthuses, "I loved doing (the album). I've always had a great voice.

    "I'm an icon. You either have it or you don't. It's something you're born with."

    Unfortunately her album might actually be a hit. With Three 6 Mafia on board, they will add beats and remaster her voice so that it sounds nothing like the original.

    Jessica Simpson has no identity of her own


    Jessica Simpson needs to work on getting her own identity. First she admits that she apes Angelina Jolie in everything she does - and poorly, we might add - and now she's copying her estranged husband, Nick Lachey, by chronicling her breakup pain in her new album:

    The singer's long-delayed album, And the Band Played On, was originally due in November but was pushed back shortly before he news of her split from husband Nick Lachey was announced (see "It's Official: Jessica Simpson And Nick Lachey Split"). Up to that point, Simpson planned on making the album a country-club combo (see "Jessica Simpson Mixes Country Flavor With Club Tracks On Upcoming LP"). But now that she's gone through so much, she's reconsidered what kind of statement she wants to make.

    "I think that with my music, you can't help but tell people a story about your life," Simpson said. "I believe that every artist, that's their artistry — it comes out of them naturally, through lyrics, through music, through instrumentation. So with this next record, you will see and hear a lot of things I've been going through. And if that can offer any inspiration to anybody else going through the same situations, so be it. That's why I'm here."

    It makes sense that she would want to sing about her pain, but it's more likely that she heard what Nick's new album was all about and thought it sounded like a good idea.

    Here's Jessica Simpson on April 30th at a grocery store in Sana Fe, NM, where's she was filming "Employee of the Month." She seems to be back in NY at this point.

    Sienna Miller signs with Pepe Jeans


    Sienna Miller got hair extensions put in while she was in NY this week. She looks much more feminine with a return to her long hair, but her tresses are looking ratty and used already, much like the actress herself.

    Miller just signed a $4 million contract to become the new face of Pepe Jeans. Currently the news is only available in papers from India, so we're not sure if the ad campaign is limited to India or if it will be seen worldwide. With that much money changing hands, it's probably global:

    The sexy actress, more known for her rocky relationship with Hollywood hunk Jude Law, will appear in the new campaign through print and billboards, scheduled to be launched all over India this month.

    Chetan Shah, Country Head, believes that Miller is not just a Hollywood celeb but a complete fashion icon in herself.

    Here is Sienna in NY on April 6th and a second set of photographs of her visit to the hairdresser.

    The Simpsons can never make fun of Scientology


    Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, Nelson Muntz, Ralph Wiggum and Todd and Rod Flanders on The Simpsons got extremely offended by a minor veiled reference to Scientology written into The Simpsons and had it cut. Cartwright is a member of the cult of Scientology, and like Isaac Hayes she could always threaten to quit if her precious cult was satirized:

    The proposed line to be spoken by Bart went something like this, “Mormonism? That’s the second freakiest religion in America!”

    One guess who must be the first “freakiest”?

    Cartwright certainly got the joke, but she didn’t like it, so the show dumped it according to insiders.

    So even a purported allusion to Scientology got the axe at the Fox show.

    No one would dare cross Cartwright - she's essential to the show as the voice of Bart and it would be impossbile to replace her. The Simpsons did kill off one character. Maude Flanders died when it was rumored that voice actress Maggie Roswell asked for a raise in 1999. The Simpsons' cast also held a strike in the spring of 2004. It was resolved within a few weeks with a new multiyear contract, the details of which were not disclosed.

    Scientology is such a powerful cult that they can dictate the plot of the worlds' most popular and longest running cartoon series. That's fucking wrong, and those people need to be stopped. The best way to counter Scientology is by learning about how ridiculous and exploitive it is and talking about it with people you know. It's not a legitimate religion and it should not have tax free status in America.

    Eminem's wife says he's back on drugs


    Eminem's estranged wife, Kim Mathers, spoke to a Detroit radio station yesterday morning about the couples second divorce. Eminem filed for divorce from Mathers after just three months. Mathers said she hadn't spoken to him in over six weeks, but that the divorce was unexpected. She also claimed that he is addicted to pills again:

    "He's having problems with, you know, his problem that he had," she said, an apparent reference to the sleep-medication dependency for which Eminem was hospitalized last summer. "I was hoping we could get counseling and work it out, you know? ...

    "Right after he came home from his rehab, we started to have a few problems, and I thought it was going to be in our best interest to delay the wedding," said Mathers, who was remarried Jan. 14 to her high school sweetheart.

    "But he really pushed it and I thought it was really going to be something that worked this time," she said.

    Eminem, however, has not spoken with her in about six weeks, she said, and surprised her by having her served with divorce papers.

    "I don't really necessarily want to get divorced," said Mathers, whose first marriage to Eminem lasted from 1999 to 2001. "I was hoping he was going to come home and say, `I got us a counselor, let's go.' But you know it didn't work out that way. I got an attorney at the door instead."

    For his part, Eminem has released a statement saying that Kim's claim that he's back on drugs is not true and that she knew he was divorcing her ahead of time:

    "First, her allegations regarding my status post-rehab are both untrue and unfortunate. Second, she was aware that I was filing for divorce. We both tried to give our marriage another chance and quickly realized that a wedding doesn't fix the underlying problems."

    Mathers has had her own problems with drug addiction and has a lengthy arrest record that includes allegations of assault, cocaine possession, and drunk driving.

    Everyone knows that you can't get back together with your ex and expect it to work unless you both get serious therapy. The same problems come up again in different painful ways. His wife realized that they needed counseling, but Eminem was unwilling to do it. It sounds like he was just stubborn, and thought he could get back with Mathers for the sake of his daughter without doing any of the emotional work required. It's ironic that he can tell the world his most intimate problems through his lyrics but is too much of a pussy to talk to a shrink.

    Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth in Switzerland


    Yesterday we mentioned that Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth attended a party by watchmakers IWC in the Swiss city of Geneva. Today we found the pictures from the event which include the lovely Cate Blanchett.

    The theme of the night was 30s and 40s glamour, and the party was held in an aircraft hangar at Geneva airport. The band played big band music, and stars posed with classic airplanes.

    Cate Blanchett is currently starring in the film "Little Fish" as an ex drug addict trying to reclaim her dignity. She will also star in the sequel to her critically acclaimed film, "Elizabeth," which will begin shooting next month.

    Here are Blanchett, Bloom, and Bosworth at the party.

    Jessica Simpson pulls Junior High level pranks


    Jessica Simpson is so juvenile that she can come up with no better way to exact revenge than to crank call the woman who used to date her ex husband.

    Simpson reportedly hates Kristin Cavallari and Star reports that she has been crank calling her!

    “Jessica got hold of Kristin’s cell-phone number and got a real kick out of making crank calls to it.”

    Though a rep for Jess denies the story, the source claims: “She’ll ring Kristin up and just say nothing or try to order pizza or Chinese food and talk in different accents! She’s even gotten some of her friends in on it. The pranks are harmless, but I think Jessica likes knowing that she’s irritating Kristin in some way.”

    We did this shit in seventh grade, remember? The fact that she tries to do accents makes it even lamer. Jessica you're supposed to do real damage to the woman who's dating your estranged husband. But he's with MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo this week, so you didn't even pick the right target.

    Here's Simpson at Barneys in LA today with her ever-present hairdresser, who is either carrying most of her bags for her or was more successful at shopping today.

    Creepy Christina Ricci photoshoot


    Here's a recent Christina Ricci photoshoot that emphasizes her bobble head and gives her a creepy, other-worldly look. The guy who posted the photos notes that she has a tattoo on her right breast that's visible in the picture of her in a red shirt.

    These pictures remind us of the Gallery of the Absurd's "Hollypops," although Ricci looked healthier in the face in the illustration:

    As of mid March, Ricci was shooting the film "Penelope" in London, in which she plays a woman trying to overcome a family curse that left her with a snout like a pig. Reese Witherspoon has a supporting role.

    Kate Beckinsale gets Punk'd by her ex boyfriend


    Kate Beckinsale was the first celebrity Punk'd on this season's premiere of the MTV prank show on Monday. She was out to dinner with her ex, British actor Michael Sheen, when a fat guy hit on her while he was away from the table. When Sheen returned, he lashed out at another man, believing he was the one who was bothering Beckinsale. It sounds like a typical episode:

    Sheen then got upset with another poolside diner, who he pretended to mistake for the man who bothered Beckinsale, hurling him into the pool as the actress protested, 'Mike, it wasn't him.'"

    Distraught Beckinsale attempted to apologise, while Sheen fought with the original pest, throwing him into the pool as well. As he climbed out of the pool, looking to continue the fight, a mock waitress ran up to Beckinsale screaming, 'You've been Punk'd,' which left the relieved actress embarrassed and giggling.

    That story about Kate Beckinsale being in talks to play Wonder Woman was a mistaken report based on an April Fool's blog post. Site JoBlo.com ran a parody article stating that Beckinsale had been cast in the role and attributed obviously fabricated quotes to the director, like "I couldn't tell you how many actresses...I'm talking married women here, promised to blow me left, right and center if I gave them the part."

    IMDB picked up the story and sourced JoBlo, changing the details so that Beckinsale was in talks for the role, but had not yet been cast. Then we all repeated it, believing it to be true. It made sense, considering that everyone speculated before the news came out that she was the best actress for the part.

    Here is Beckinsale out in Santa Monica with her husband, director Len Wiseman.

    Daniel Craig can't even play cards

    Daniel Craig shirtless filming a scene in the ocean with the caption: you know you want to see it ladies
    It looks like the only card Daniel Craig can play is the nudity one, because he doesn't know how to play poker:

    When film bosses realised Craig was clueless at the game they flew an expert to his Berlin hotel to give him some last minute tips. An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Daniel could not play cards - it was so funny. It is a critical part of the film, where Bond shows how cool a customer he is. But it was frustratingly ridiculous how long it took to teach the cast how to play or behave at a poker table.

    "Everyone at the hotel has been laughing about a Bond who can't play cards."

    Let's revisit Craig's various other public failings as the shortest, blondest Bond:

  • He can't drive a stick shift
  • He hates guns (This is a personal preference and is not damning, just interesting.)
  • He had his teeth knocked out while filming his first fight scene
  • He got prickly heat from a sunburn
  • His on-set requests include: "wet wipes, baby lotion and two nail files."
  • Speedboats make him sick to his stomach

    Despite the fact that he's quite obviously a wuss, Craig is amazed that he's become the new gay icon.

    On the other hand, Craig sports a six pack and has no qualms about getting naked or filming graphic sex scenes.

    It might even out, and we're willing to sit through the film for a glimpse of his goods.

    Pete Doherty says that he's going to marry Kate Moss!


    Guess Kate didn't pay Doherty enough cash to keep his mouth shut, because he reportedly spilled the beans about their planned wedding while at an Austrian porn club.

    Doherty claims that he's going to marry Kate in a ceremony in Scotland this fall and says that he loves to get high and have sex with the supermodel:

    He said: “We are going to marry. It’s going to happen at a Scottish castle somewhere between September and November.

    “A posh Scottish castle. That’s gonna be so cool.”

    He also told how much he loved having sex with model Kate while high on drugs.

    The waster said: “Drugs or sex — they are both great.

    “The best is a combination of both of them. I really love sex on substances — nothing beats that.”

    The article went on to reveal that Pete plans to pass his required drug tests by getting someone else's urine samples. He also called himself the new John Lennon, and "the most important rock star now!"

    Kate is said to visit Pete with a purse full of bundled-up cash to help secure his silence about their reconciled relationship. She also has offered to pay the bill for Pete to have his teeth fixed. Pete rarely brushes his teeth and suffers from bad halitosis.

    As one of the world's highest paid models, Kate has to be careful about her public image. She seems to have recovered splendedly from the cocaine scandal she suffered last year, and has just secured a new $875,000 contract advertising jeans for Calvin Klein. She will also face no warning or charges for the crime of using cocaine and the stupidity of being caught on tape.

    Here is Pete Doherty with one of his many Jaguars outside his flat in London on April 2 and Kate Moss outside a dentist's office recently. Maybe Moss was making inquiries for Doherty. Hopefully he'll get rid of his terrible breath in time for their honeymoon.

    Avril Lavigne to Marry Deryck Whibley this summer


    Avril Lavigne probably is pregnant as we mentioned yesterday, because now TMZ is reporting that she plans to marry her fiance, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley this summer.

    She also is said to wants kids right away, which is celebrity-code for "I'm pregnant."

    A more mature blonde-haired and groomed Lavigne appeared at the Kids Choice Awards last week looking nothing like she did during her 'Complicated' years. And speaking of kids, Avril wants some of her own, and stat.

    Lavigne -- who got engaged to her fellow Canadian last summer -- has told her friends to brace themselves for a traditional white wedding at an undisclosed church in Beverly Hills.

    Avril is said to be planning a reception with circus performers, comedians and popular rock bands. She'll probably make a mint off selling the pictures.

    Paris: I'm still with Starvos!


    Paris Hilton has overcome her fear of foreign languages and insists that she's still with Greek oil heir Stavros Niarchos III.

    The hotel heiress was doing her thing on the red carpet at the Roxy nightclub in LA - but Stavros was nowhere to be seen.

    She'd turned out to support pal Bijou Phillips, who was performing in a one-night stage production of Hedwig And The Angry Inch.

    According to IMDb, Paris said her boyf, who is at the University of Southern California, was at home concentrating on his studies...

    "He's turning 21 in two weeks, so he wants to get all the work done before the big birthday."

    Further rubbishing reports of trouble between the lovebirds, she added: "We just got back from the Bahamas.

    We just got back two hours ago. We've been relaxing for the past five days."

    Paris must be waiting eagerly for Niarchos' birthday. He stands to inherit $275 million when he turns 21. Paris is only expected to get a mere $50 million for her inheritance.

    Hilton and Niarchos were last photographed together about a week ago.

    Paris shouldn't be so concerned about money. She's signed up to add her name to a line of sunglasses to join the watches, handbags, leather goods, and cosmetics under the Paris Hilton label. [via]

    Simon Cowell makes a reference to Ryan Seacrest's gayness on live TV!


    On American Idol Tuesday night Simon Cowell told Ryan Seacrest to "lose the beard" in a veiled reference to his sham publicity relationship to Teri Hatcher. He got away with it because Seacrest had new facial hair, but he clearly was referring to Hatcher:

    Ryan Seacrest told Simon Cowell, "And if you read the dictionary, you'd know what 'constructive' means." To which Cowell replied, "Ryan, with respect, I'm not the one trying to look like someone out of 'Desperate Housewives.' Lose the beard." While Seacrest was sporting a beard, the jab was more at how Seacrest, a confirmed bachelor, had himself photographed kissing "Housewives" star Teri Hatcher. Hatcher, a press hound herself, has since said the two are not dating.

    Cowell should not be picking on Seacrest. While Seacrest may be trying to hide his gayness, he's not hurting anyone. Cowell is jeopardizing his current relationship and taking advantage of a young contestant. His constant flirting with 19 year-old Idol contestant Kellie Pickler has royally pissed off his long-term girlfriend, TV presenter Terri Seymour:

    Cowell's appreciation of this season's pretty blonde, 19-year-old Kellie Pickler, has apparently carried on off-screen - much to Seymour's annoyance.

    The flirting has even sparked furious rows between the couple.

    An insider told The Daily Mirror: 'He is really affectionate to Kellie... They are often seen having intimate chats in the corner.'

    On the show, Cowell had praised Pickler several times by calling her 'cute' and 'a naughty little minx'.

    Seymour, 31, apparently told a pal: 'Simon knows I'm annoyed and insists it's just 'fun and games' that makes for better television. But I see how his face gets flushed when Kellie's around.'

    Last nights results show saw Mandisa, Paris, and Elliot in the bottom three, with Mandisa leaving for good.

    Here are pictures from American Idol this week, including a visit from The O.C.'s Rachel Bilson and comedian Chris Rock and his family.

    Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis in Geneva


    It looks like our country is the hip place to be because Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are also in Geneva. Depp and Paradis were at the "Mont Blanc" watch company's 100th Anniversary Party at Palexpo last night.

    Depp and Paradis, a French singer and actress, have been together since the summer of 1998. They have a daughter, Lily Rose Melody, who will turn 7 this May, and a son, Jack, who is 4. The family splits their time between France and the states.

    Update: Depp appeared in public service ads for Mont Blanc last year to advance arts in education.

    Orlando and Kate still going strong


    People speculated that Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth were broken up based on a blind item in the NY Post that seemed to suggest that Bosworth split with Bloom when she found out he had herpes. The two have not been photographed together in some time, suggesting that the rumor was true.

    It seems that their relationship is fine, because Katie and Orlando were spotted in Geneva last night attending one of the jet-set parties taking place in the Swiss city:

    After enduring months apart from on-off love Kate during the filming of Pirates Of The Caribbean 3 last summer, it's clear that Orlando was reluctant to let her out of his sight.

    The Hollywood lovebirds were wrapped round each other all evening, chatting intimately and laughing at a glamorous Forties-inspired bash thrown by Swiss watchmakers IWC at an aircraft hangar in the city's airport.

    Other stars in Geneva include Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis, and the evil Naomi Campbell, as mentioned below.

    Here's Orlando out in London recently.

    Naomi Campbell is still getting work


    Naomi Campbell is still working as a model after hitting her maid so hard with a cell phone that she couldn't see straight and required stitches.

    Campbell was in Geneva, Switzerland yesterday working for Mont Blanc. She wore the most expensive and dangerous watch Mont Blanc has ever made. Also present was model Marcus Schenkenberg, who looked bemused. Johnny Depp and his French wife Vanessa Paradis attended the show. We will publish pictures of Depp and Paradis shortly.

    Campbell's scheduled appearance on P. Diddy's celebrity cooking show has been canceled, which may or may not be related to the abuse charges against her.

    Campbell also made an ironic peacekeeping visit to South Africa to meet with Netson Mandela after the incident. The press was not allowed to be present at the event.

    Here is Campbell modeling for Mont Blanc. The company should have hired a better spokesmodel.

    Liev Schreiber parties alone


    Liev Schreiber hosted Dewar's "Hot Scot" party at Cielo last night in New York. Noticeably absent was his girlfriend of one year, Australian actress Naomi Watts.

    Watts and Schreiber have been plagued by breakup rumors since Watts attended the Oscars alone. The NY Daily News reported a couple weeks ago that the two were seeking different partners and that a source said Watts found Schreiber too controlling.

    Reader Millie e-mailed her take on the relationship. She thinks that the control issue is bogus and that Schreiber remains interested and wants to marry Watts, but that she has cold feet. She also points out a video of Schreiber protecting Watts from the paparrazi that was filmed in late January as clear evidence that he cares for her.

    To further complicate matters, Watts might be pregnant.

    Here's Schreiber at the party last night. Other pictured guests include Stephanie March and Fisher Stevens.

    Katie Holmes is really pregnant


    Reader Carrie hooked us up again by pointing us to these pictures from KatieHolmes.com of Holmes shopping in Hollywood yesterday.

    As they've done throughout her pregnancy, people joked that she didn't really look pregnant and seemed to be carrying a beach ball under her shirt in the pictures that came out yesterday. In these latest pictures, you can see her protruding belly button through her top.

    PopSugar does the math and points out that Katie is due any day now, belying the rumors that she's too far along and faking the pregnancy.

    PageSix thinks it's news that Tom and Katie slobber all over each other in front of the press. Supposedly Katie looked vacant and wide-eyed during Tom's interview with Premiere magazine, in which he revealed his abusive childhood and made out with her:

    "Holmes . . . wore a large diamond engagement ring. She seemed dazed, passive and vacant. She never stopped smiling." Holmes continued smiling through the interview as Cruise described how his father beat him, and as Cruise was "hooting how beautiful she was, touching and kissing her like a teenage boy on his first backseat date, aware that he was being watched." Creepy.

    Seriously, though, why is this news?

    What seems the most suspicious to us is the fact that Holmes is shopping for shoes right before she's giving birth. My feet were incredibly swollen when I was pregnant. Holmes is seen with some sensible flip-flops, but she also considers some pointy flats. Girl - those are not going to fit after the baby comes!

    Here is Holmes shopping.

    Pink wants to move to Europe


    In a transparent kiss up to the British papers for printing every word out of her mouth this week, Pink says that she wants to move to Europe:

    The feisty singer, 26, whose new album I'm Not Dead was released this week, says: "Everyone I've met in Europe is so nice and really cool.

    I would definitely move over there.

    "I love the UK and France - Paris and the south of France especially. There's not a lot of culture or individuality in Hollywood."

    Pink, don't you know that Europe is already passe? The Jolie-Pitts just moved to Africa.

    Here's Pink performing in New York last night at Crobar. She's joined by her father onstage, and her husband, Carey Hart at the after party.

    Tom Cruise: There is no big binky


    Tom Cruise has denied reports of an adult-sized pacifier that was custom-made to keep his girlfriend, Katie Holmes, silent during childbirth in accordance with Scientology edicts.

    Hi publicist "dismissed the reports as nonsense," so we can rest assured that Tom's publicist doesn't think it exists.

    Here is Katie supposedly out to do some shopping yesterday. Commenters on the bulletin board where we found the pictures note that her stomach looks weird, but it may just be her outfit.

    Eminem and Kim file for divorce after 3 months


    Eminem has filed for divorce from Kim Mathers after a mere three months of marriage. It was his second marriage to the mother of his 10 year-old daughter, Hallie. Eminem should have studied his own lyrics, because he revealed much about his private life and his dysfunctional relationship with Mathers in his music:

    You really fucked me Kim, you really did a number on me...

    I hate you, i hate you, i swear to god i hate you...

    No one can hear you, now shut the FUCK up and get what's coming to you.
    You were supposed to love me.
    Now bleed bitch, bleed!

    Eminem may have also revealed the reason why he reunited with Kim - fear of mortality and a feeling of responsibility for his daughter - in the lyrics to his single "When I'm gone":

    "Daddy it's me! Help mummy her wrists are bleedin'"
    But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?!
    "I followed you daddy, you told me that you wern't leavin
    You lied to me dad, and now you make mummy sad
    And I bought you this coin
    It says 'number 1 dad', that's all I wanted
    I just wanna give you this coin
    I get the point, fine, me and mummy are goin"
    But baby wait-
    "its too late dad, you made the choice. Now go out there and show 'em you love 'em more than us."

    Hopefully Eminem's daughter is cushioned from the blow of her parents' second divorce and this is not too hard on her.

    Eminem and Mathers were married for the first time in 1999 and split up in 2001. Eminem received two years probation for pistol whipping a man he saw kissing Mathers outside a club after their first breakup in 2001.

    We were wrong - the Jolie-Pitt fetus might arrive in Africa


    Unless the Namibian government is cashing in on the tourism trend of claiming that the Jolie-Pitts favor your nation, Angelina and Brad are now in Africa. This means that the rumor that Angelina wanted to give bith is Africa may have been true and that we were totally wrong. This will not be the first time.

    MEGA stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrived in Namibia at the crack of dawn yesterday. As far as The Namibian was able to establish last night, the couple have reportedly brought their two children - Maddox and Zahara - with them.

    It is unclear how long they will stay in Namibia, or what the family's plans are while they are here.

    At the weekend, wire reports emanating from overseas speculated that Jolie, who is pregnant with Pitt's child, was coming to have her baby in Namibia.

    Alternative reports have suggested that the family is just on a visit...

    Sources in Europe earlier told The Namibian that the couple had flown out of Le Bourget airport in Paris in a private jet on Monday night - believed to be headed for Namibia.

    Jolie is no stranger to Namibia. The Oscar-winning actress spent time in the country in 2002 during the filming of the international feature movie on refugees, 'Beyond Borders', at Swakopmund.

    Namibia is believed to hold particularly fond memories for Jolie. It was here that she took legal custody of her adopted Cambodian son, Maddox, in March 2002.

    [via]

    Maybe the Jolie-Pitts will get some peace from the paparazzi in the nation of Namibia, or maybe some enterprising Namibians will get out their cameras and start shooting.

    Regardless let's hope that Brad is no longer banished to the couch and that he gets some loving in Africa. PopBytes posted these scans of a Star Magazine article that claims that Angelina is uncomfortable in bed due to her pregnancy (been there) and is having Brad sleep on the couch of their apartment in Paris.

    Star also claims that Jolie and Pitt are fighting and that Jolie wants her children to grow up in Europe while Pitt is homesick for the comforts of America.

    We were reluctant to admit that Pitt and Jolie were having trouble, but this might be true. Maybe after the baby is born and they've carved out a little space for themselves in Africa they'll be on better terms. It certainly must be stressful to have people follow you everywhere, and it can't be easy to move around so much.

    Who's got a bump?


    Reader Carrie sent these pictures of Avril Lavigne taken on April 1st with what looks like a little baby bump! We first mentioned the rumor that Avril Lavigne was pregnant on March 19th.

    Lavigne, 21, has been engaged to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, 25, since June 2005. The two have owned a home together in Beverly Hills for nearly two years. Lavigne has a small heart-shaped pink tattoo on her right wrist inscribed with the letter "D" and her fiance has been seen out with a wedding band on his left hand.

    In a picture of Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff out partying with their significant others on April 1st, Lavigne is the only one who looks sober.

    It could just be a bad picture of Lavigne, but she's skinny everywhere else and we think she's pregnant!

    Update: Carrie sent another picture from November for comparison. We're even more convinced. And here's a high-res version of the bump picture.

    Thomas Dolby is annoyed that Federline raps so poorly on top of his music

    Kevin Federline, who amazed everyone by getting a paid job last week, is under fire from 80s pop star Thomas Dolby for using the signature music from "She Blinded me with Science" on his latest "rap" song accessible from his 1997-era MySpace. (link launches automatic "music")

    Dolby blogs about Federline's theft of the sample:

    Next item: Britney Spears’ husband Kevin Federline, whom I’d never heard of until a few days ago, appears to have illegally sampled one of my compositions. On his MySpace site you can download an MP3 which uses a looped sample from Mobb Deep’s ‘Get It Twisted’, which in turn copped the string line from my own song ‘She Blinded Me With Science.’

    Now, Mobb Deep did it the right way and had his label BMG come and ask for a license. They paid me a fee and a royalty on the sales of Mobb Deep’s record. However K-Fed, as his fans affectionately refer to him, did NOT ask permission, he just went ahead and did it. He is therefore blatantly violating the copyright law. And laws aside, he owed it to me as an artist to ask if I minded that he recorded a vitriolic rap over the top of my music. It starts off ‘This is for the HATERS…’ and goes on to blast the media, paparrazzi and all his other critics, sparing no expletives along the way.

    BMG Records have also had their copyright violated, as they own the master to Mobb Deep’s record. But BMG don’t want to rock the Britney boat so they are turning a blind eye. It’s pathetic! Turns out K-Fed has no management, label or lawyer, so it’s going to be hard getting hold of him. So K-Fed, if you’re reading this, I’m asking you nicely to take the track down ASAP. Or maybe you’d prefer me to come after some of your wife’s ill-gotten gains?

    [via]

    Dolby is touring again as a single act after 15 years, and finds it amusing that press outlets are more interested in his feud with Federline than the fact that he's revitalizing his music career.

    Here is Federline's wife, Britney Spears, rotting her child's teeth and accompanying her husband to a promotion gig for his album at Club X in Dallas.

    Paris Hilton talks trash about Nicole Richie


    Guess the text messages that Paris sent Nicole in a bid to reconcile with her ex friend were just "words that she wrote" because Paris lost her patience with Nicole and has talked a bunch of trash about her:

    Paris told Elle magazine: "She (Nicole) cannot stand being around me because I get all the attention and people really don't care about her.

    "I've been best friends with her since I was two, but when I brought her on to my show, she got very jealous and turned on me for no reason.

    "It breaks my heart. She was my sister. She was the funniest person to be around and then she let the fame go to her head.

    "I never want to speak to her again - ever."

    Paris - your sister's name is Nicky. It's very similar to Nicole and all, but they're different people.

    Also, speaking of letting fame get to your head - what is up with this video of you taking your own picture over and over again?

    Christina Aguilera buys controversial art piece


    Christina Aguiera has bought one of "art terrorist" Banksy's works, a piece of pop art depicting Queen Victoria in garters sitting on a woman's face. The artwork cost nearly $44,000, and Aguilera is said to be thrilled with her purchase:

    A friend of Aguilera said to Handbag.com: "She said she loved the print so much she was going to hang it in her La living room. "She's been a huge fan of Banksy for months and was desperate to get her hands on some of his artwork."

    Banksy has pulled daring and dangerous stunts to get his art noticed. In March, 2005, Banksy snuck his art onto the walls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Brooklyn Museum all in one day. Banksy painted scenes on the Palestinian side of Israel's security wall last August that created the illusion of a tropical paradise and mountain views on the other side. He was threatened by Israeli security forces soon afterwards, and was lucky to escape.

    Banksy never allows himself to be photographed, presumably so he can continue his art pranks.

    Here is Aguilera in NY recently.

    The OC goes to college


    Onscreen and offscreen couple Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson filmed scenes at USC and were friendly to fans on campus according to a student who was there:

    I saw the post on Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody on the set of the OC, so I thought I would share my pictures from that day. They were filming at USC, trying to make it look like Brown University (aka the extras were wearing scarves and reading books...) I wasn't sure if they were taking a tour as admitted students or as prospective, but it seemed like they were taking a tour as admitted students.

    Also, Samaire Armstrong was on the set filming a scene with Adam Brody. She was his girlfriend (Anna) in Season 1 (and part of 2 I think?). Anyways, in the scene, he gets lost and they run into each other. Not sure what the dialogue exchange was, but it seems like it could be more drama! (Like they really need more drama.)

    Adam and Rachel were really nice. There were quite a few girls screaming over Adam, and he was really shy and quiet about it, just giving little waves. At one point, I was walking through the set between takes because I needed to get to a class in the area, and Rachel was right there, and I said "Rachel! You're adorable!" and she said "Thanks! Hi!" and did a cute little wave hehe.

    It looks like Seth runs into his geeky ex-girlfriend Anna while touring the campus. Anna is sure to mix things up for Seth and Summer's relationship.

    The OC's creator, Josh Schwartz, admits that he's having trouble figuring out what to do with The O.C. when the lead characters go to college:

    The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz is stumped for ideas after the hit show's next season because the four main characters will be leaving for college. But the producer is optimistic the departure of Seth Cohen (Adam Brody), Ryan Atwood (Ben Mckenzie), Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) and Summer Roberts (Rachel Bilson) could open doors for new exciting storylines.

    He says, "I think we've got at least one more good year in us, so we're going to do some pretty radical stuff at the end of this year. The season finale is going to be the craziest thing we've ever done, and it will launch the show in a whole new direction next year. So I'm excited about next season. And then beyond, I don't know. We'll see."

    The show could always follow the characters at university, which is the most logical thing to do. No one is going to want to watch it if most of the young cast is gone or replaced.

    Here are Bilson and Brody on set at USC.

    Heather Locklear and David Spade?!


    Perez Hilton claims to have inside information from an Us staffer who says an upcoming issue of the gossip magazine will include details of the new romance between Heather Locklear and short comedian David Spade:

    One of our mischievous moles at Us Weekly just leaked to us the juiciest item from their new issue, on newsstands later this week. Hope he doesn't get fired over this.

    According to Us, Spade has quietly been dating recently separated Heather Locklear.

    "They've known each other for a long time," a source tells Us. "It was a friendship that turned into something more. David's sense of humor is getting her through a hard time."

    A source who saw them on a date with some pals at West Hollywood hot spot Jones on March 24 tells Us "they looked really cozy." Agrees another witness, "It was so nice to see Heather happy. They were making out like teenagers!"

    We hope it's just a momentary rebound fling for Locklear, who filed for divorce from her husband of 11 years, Richie Sambora, this February. Sambora and Locklear attended their daughter's softball game together a week ago, sparking rumors of a reconciliation.

    Tom Cruise commissions adult pacifier for Katie Holmes

    Tom holding Katie's stomach, with the caption - that womb is mine!
    We hope this story is not true, because it's quite ridiculous. Supposedly Cruise has ordered a custom-made pacifier for Katie Holmes to gnaw on during childbirth so that she can keep quiet while squeezing the baby out in accordance with Scientology edicts:

    It's a specially crafted adult pacifier, reports Star magazine.

    "He commissioned an adult-sized 'binky' for her to clench between her teeth, hoping that it'll squelch her screams," a source tells the mag. "In keeping with a Scientology silent birth, Tom is prepared to do whatever it takes to muffle Katie's moans and groans during the delivery."

    Cruise's PR rep, Arnold Robinson, denied the existence of an adult pacifier. As for its manufacture, a spokeswoman for NYU's School of Dentistry told Lowdown: "We haven't heard of it, but it doesn't mean a dentist wouldn't do it."

    Actually it doesn't matter if this is true or not, because we know for certain that Kate is supposed to keep quiet during childbirth and that's bad enough. I personally had a drug-free childbirth and it's possible with hypnosis and a lot of preparation, but I could not imagine trying to keep quiet in the pushing stage. It's really hard to get the baby out and there's nothing wrong with making a little noise.

    Someone on the JJB board (board is down now or I would link to it) mentioned that Scientology was created by a man in the 1950s who was a failed science fiction writer. There's so much more to it than that, including nefarious motivations and some truly evil practices, but that about sums up L. Ron Hubbard's knowledge of childbirth.

    The Scientologists also recommend a barley-based formula for babies, although many Scientologists deny that the cult discourages breastfeeding.

    We really wish Katie the best and think it's terrible how much pressure is being put on her to conform to the ridiculous and misguided rules of Scientology. Childbirth is hard enough without having to be quiet and hand your baby over to strangers after it's born.

    Jessica Alba forgives Playboy


    Jessica Alba has forgiven Hugh Hefner for putting her on the cover of Playboy in a bikini without her permission. Alba was said to be embarassed by the issue, which seemed to suggest that she would be found naked inside. She threatened legal action and asked for the issue to be retracted, but a kind letter from Hefner convinced her to change her mind:

    In his letter to Alba, Hefner apologized for "any distress unintentionally caused by the publication of your photo" on the March cover.

    "What was intended as a tribute to your tremendous popularity has been misinterpreted by some as something else for which we are truly sorry since we are among your biggest fans," Hefner said.

    "In light of Mr. Hefner's personal apology for Playboy's unauthorized use of my photo on their cover, I have decided to discontinue my claims against them," Alba, 24, said in a written statement.

    "This was never about money, it was about setting the record straight about something that was done without my knowledge or consent," she added.

    Alba's lawyers were said to be in talks with representatives from Playboy, but have ultimately decided to avoid costly and time consuming legal action. It seems like Alba just wanted to make a point, and it has been well taken.

    Alba has a different beef with MTV, which staged a kiss with the hot actress with an aggressive chimpanzee for a clip that aired during the MTV Movie Awards. Alba says the chimp stuck its tongue in her mouth and bared its teeth at her:

    She explained: "It was awful. All of a sudden there was a monkey in my arms and I had to do a clip for 'most romantic moment' award at the MTV movie awards. So the monkey's in my arms and I'm supposed to give her a peck. She opened her mouth and her tongue is scraping against my teeth. Monkeys' teeth are really long, kind of like a snake.

    "Then I had to do it again and she grabbed both of my ears and screamed in my face and showed me all of her teeth. I thought she was going to bite my face off. I think monkeys should be left in trees."

    Surely any human would have been pleased to take over for the reluctant chimp.

    Here is Alba with her boyfriend, Cash Warren, taking out the trash. Hollywood Tuna points out that she's wearing a T-Shirt with his name on it, and that Cash is more than happy to let her do the heavy lifting.

    CSI actor catches rapist in the act


    26 year-old James Ransone, who is currently featured in the movie "Inside Man" and has appeared on several episodes of CSI, heard a woman screaming in his apartment building and came to her rescue. He was horrified to see that she was about to be raped, and quickly took action:

    He got to the vestibule in the nick of time. "There was this Hispanic guy in a blue sweatshirt choking my neighbor and pulling his [sex organ] out," he told Page Six's Lisa Marsh. "I pictured my mom, my girlfriend and every girl I've ever loved and thought, 'Vengeance is mine.' "

    The would-be rapist took off on Eldridge Street with Ransone - who at a slim 5-foot-9 is not exactly physically threatening - chasing after him.

    "I looked north and south and saw him running," Ransone recalls. As he ran after the attacker, he passed a friend walking his dog and called for him to join in the chase. "I screamed, 'Follow me! This girl almost got raped!' "

    Ransone caught up with the assailant as he entered a building on Allen Street. He broke a glass door to get at the perp and then cracked him on the back with the metal bar.

    "I said, 'You rapist piece of [bleep]' and heard a crack when I hit his shoulder blade," Ransone says. "He mimed taking out a gun and said, 'Do you want to go to jail?' - and made a bee-line for the door.

    "I cried, 'I'm not done with you yet' and kept swinging," Ransone says. Then the cops arrived and the attacker disappeared into the building. An arrest is expected soon.

    Ransone said "he did what anybody would have done," but he clearly went beyond the call of duty. The police were congratulatory and told Ransone he would make a good officer. He's sure to get more work after his heroic act was profiled by Page Six.

    Antonio Banderas and Alfre Woodard in "Take the Lead"


    Antonio Banderas, his wife Melanie Griffith, and Alfre Woodard were among the stars at the NY premiere of "Take the Lead." The film sounds like Dangerous Minds on the dance floor:

    The film is based on the true story of Pierre Dulaine, and international dance teacher and competitor who volunteers his time to teach ballroom dancing to a group of inner-city high school students serving detention. Banderas plays Dulaine and Alfre Woodard co-stars as the New York high school’s tough principal.

    It's been called a "hackneyed charmer," and "completey predictable, but charming" and is receiving somewhat decent reviews.

    Banderas also visited MTV's Total Request Live yesterday, where he showed host Vanessa Minnillo some of his moves.

    Banderas has two projects in the works. He will "return to Broadway in a new musical based on the 1995 film, 'Don Juan DeMarco'" and will play the lead in a new historical epic, "Conquistador," as the villianous Spanish conqueror Hernan Cortes who defeated the Aztec empire in the 16th century.

    Michael Douglas spouts more crap


    Now that Michael Douglas is wearing a beard to hide his surgery scars, he's trying to make it the fashion by badgering other men about their grooming habits:

    He says, "Young guys are somewhat androgynous and use cosmetics. The lines (between men and women) seem to be getting much closer."

    Although he doesn't understand the young male's psyche, Douglas insists he's not jealous of younger men. He adds, "A lot of these guys use me as an example of who they'd like to have a career like - which is flattering - but I'm getting tired of this sort of respectfulness they give me. When they start calling me Mr. Douglas, I'm like, 'Hey! Shut the f**k up!'"

    No, Douglas, you shut the fuck up. Just because you're getting old doesn't mean you have to complain about younger men. You've surely used some cosmetics in your day.

    Douglas was in NY last night to lend his support to the UN's fight against landmines at a lavish fundraising dinner. He presented the Adopt-A-Minefield’s humanitarian award to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

    Douglas' wife, Catherine Zeta Jones, must be getting sick of the crap he says because she wasn't at the dinner with him. Jones is filming "Mostly Martha" in NY and is presumably in the same town. Both Jones and her husband were said to be attending the dinner in earlier reports.

    Here is Douglas at the UN dinner last night. He is pictured with Kofi Annan and musician Moby.

    Teri Hatcher: I'm not with Ryan Seacrest and it was a publicity stunt


    In a move we never saw coming, Teri Hatcher has said that she's not with Ryan Seacrest. I made up the part about her admitting that it was a publicity stunt. Hatcher was at the Comedy for a Cure benefit for Tuberous Sclerosis on April 2nd and found a business card for a singles dating service in one of the purses she donated for auction. She joked about its meaning, saying it signifies that she's still single:

    Everyone clearly knows about my pathetic, single, dating life right?!"

    In response to recent photos that were captured of Hatcher and the American Idol host kissing and reportedly dating, she said, "Well, I guess what's caught on film is caught on film and it would be hard for me to stand here and say that it wasn't me. I'm not a liar and I wouldn't do that, but I could say that I could still use the business card!" When asked if she was attached to Seacrest, she added, "I'm not."

    She skirted the question by saying "she's not a liar" and wouldn't "say that it wasn't me" but still maintained that she's single. That's a strange way to deny that you're with someone. If it didn't work out between the two of them, wouldn't she say "We were looking for different things?" In fact, she could have used that excuse anyway!

    Seacrest was seen on Saturday taking in a basketball game with Hatcher's costar, Eva Longoria. The two cheered on Longoria's boyfriend, at the Spurs game in San Antonio, TX.

    Brad Pitt: We can all help out


    Brad Pitt narrates a new PBS documentary, Rx for Child Survival - A Global Health Challenge, about people saving lives through healthcare initiatives.

    In an interview published in TV Guide, Pitt emphasizes the program's intention - that we can all help out in small but measurable ways:

    So what can people do? It's more than just witnessing it and saying it's a terrible situation. This should be our focus: the solution. This is where Bono has been very successful. Bono is a wonderfully dedicated beast unto himself. I find him very inspiring. But the Web site related to the documentary provides links [to] ways for people to get involved.

    Did you learn anything from Rx for Survival? I did. I learned about how simple some of the solutions can be, like adding vitamin A to a child's diet prevents river blindness. As the documentary shows, vitamin A costs 2 cents for a dose. A bed net [to prevent malaria] is a third the price of a CD. These things aren't out of reach.

    Are you planning any more humanitarian trips right now? What's next? No. My plan right now is to have a child.

    Brad helps bring us from the fantasy world of Paris' lazy eye to the reality of children needing basic medical care and supplies.

    We don't think it was just Bono who inspired his charity work, though.

    The Rx for Change Website offers ways to help out:

    Hugh Grant loves reality TV


    Hugh Grant watched a ton of reality TV in preparation for his role playing a reality show judge in the film American Dreamz:

    In the film Grant plays a reality show judge…just like [Simon] Cowell so has been poring over tapes of ‘American Idol’ and the ‘X Factor’.

    He admitted to The Sun: “I’d never watched them before but studied a bunch of tapes – and I enjoy cruelty.

    “I like people being humiliated, I like watching freaks. The freakier the better as far as I am concerned.

    “I don’t think they far enough – I’d also quite like to see the losers being tortured.

    His other quotes reveal that he's not just joking around, and pays attention to the reality shows.

    “I’m quite susceptible to reality television,” he confessed recently.

    “I’m ashamed of that part of myself, as I’m sure we all are, but there are some good ones.”

    “Wife Swap I particularly like. There was one where they took delinquent teenagers and put them through a 50s education, and another one where they put them through an army boot camp. Brilliant, really fascinating.”

    Hugh Grant isn't the only one who feels guilty but can't look away. He sums up reality television well.

    Here's Grant with Drew Barrymore on the set of their film, "Music and Lyrics By."

    Sean Connery: Dressed to Kilt


    Sean Connery arrived in a tartan-wrapped Mercedes Benz 2007 S Class to "Dress to Kilt" at NY's annual tartan week yesterday. It was Connery's first public appearance since he had a benign kidney tumor removed in early March.

    "Dress to Kilt" celebrated Scottish fashion with tartan clothing and kilts modeled by celebrities. Stars on the catwalk included Bebe Neuwirth, Anne Curry, Tatum O'Neal, and Brian and Allan Cox. The Coxes lifted up their kilts to show their white bums in a picture after the jump that's NSFW. Scottish rugby player, Chris Cusiter, Scottish golf star, Sam Torrance, and the reigning miss Scotland, Aisling Friel, also modeled at the show.

    Donald Trump was at the event in a bid to publicize his golf course that will soon be opened at Balmedie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

    Sir Sean Connery was accompanied by his wife of over 30 years, Lady Micheline Connery.

    8 more pictures (one has naked bums and is NSFW) after the jump.

    Kate Moss, Lindsay Lohan and Courtney Love to go on vacation together


    "Ex" drug addicts Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, and Courtney Love are going to Hawaii together to give the world's paparrazi some well-deserved time in the sun.

    Somehow Moss and Love consider themselves older mentors to Lindsay, who has no public drug scandal or stint in rehab yet:

    The wild threesome, all said to be "firm friends", have all recently weathered very public drug scandals and hope a break away will help them overcome their problems.

    Supermodel Kate, 32, checked into rehab last year after pictures of her using cocaine use were published, while rocker Courtney spent a month under house arrest for drug charges in early 2006.

    Lindsay, 19, admitted to drug abuse and "emotional wreckage" in a frank interview with 'Vanity Fair' in February.

    A source close to the 'Mean Girls' star says Kate has "adopted" Lindsay, while Kate in turn seems to be under the watchful eye of the newly clean Courtney, who also recently declared her intention to help Kate's on/off boyfriend Pete Doherty get off drugs.

    A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Courtney is determined to be a calming influence on Lindsay who has had a really tough time of things, and she also adores Kate."

    The trio may be celebrating Moss' recent triumph over the drug scandal she suffered when a video was released last year of her snorting cocaine. All criminal charges against Moss are expected to be dropped and she should have no criminal record. Moss wisely did not admit to any wrongdoing when questioned by police.

    Moss recently received a £1million advance from Virgin Books to write a tell-all autobiography of her cocaine abuse.

    Bill Cosby goes after blogger for posting videos mocking him


    Bill Cosby's legal team has sent a cease and desist order to popular blogger Andy Baio of Waxy.org for posting the "House of Cosbys" video files. "House of Cosbys" is a cartoon that depicts multiple cloned Cosbys living in a house together, similar to the plot of the Micheal Keaton film, Mulitplicity. Baio is standing his ground, and says that "House of Cosbys" is a parody which falls under fair use guidelines. He points to many other parodies of Cosby, and says that he refuses to be legally bullied:

    More than anything, this strikes me as a special kind of discrimination against amateur creators on the Internet. Mad Magazine, Saturday Night Live, South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and countless other mainstream media sources have parodied Bill Cosby over the years...

    But because it takes so little effort to threaten a small web-based artist (or the blogger who hosts their work), the Net is constantly targeted regardless of just cause. Justin Roiland, creator of House of Cosbys, was forced to remove the videos because he couldn't risk the possibility of an actual lawsuit. And when Channel 101 decided to take a stand, Cosby's lawyers targeted their ISP instead, forcing the videos offline.

    But I know my legal standing, and I'm not backing down unless ordered by the court. This is free speech and creative freedom, and even though it's just one guy's goofy labor of love, that's worth fighting for, dammit.

    Here's House of Cosbys episode one:

    Bill Cosby seems like even more of an asshole when you consider that he recently pointed out to Katrina victims that there were high crime rates in New Orleans before the natural disaster:

    Humorist Bill Cosby lectured black residents of New Orleans over the weekend, saying their community was "wounded" by crime even before Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city and killed their neighbors.

    "It's painful, but we can't cleanse ourselves unless we look at the wound," Cosby told the rally of about 2,000 people at the city's convention center, where thousands of Katrina evacuees had gathered seven months earlier.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, you had the highest murder rate, unto each other. You were dealing drugs to each other. You were impregnating our 13-, 12-, 11-year-old children," he said, in quotes picked up by Reuters.

    [via]

    This is typical of Cosby, who has lashed out in the past at what he perceives as a violent black popular culture and an unwillingness to change. Cosby has seemed to blame the African American community for their plight and maintains a dismal perspective instead of looking at more broad sociocultural factors and seeing the positive aspects of black culture.

    Why Tom Cruise is so messed up


    Tom Cruise opens up about his painful childhood in an upcoming interview with Parade magazine. He could not rely on his father, who was unpredictable and abusive:

    Tom reveals that his father was also someone he was unable to turn to. "He was a bully and a coward," he says frankly. "He was the person where, if something goes wrong, they kick you."

    The headline-making celebrity says the poor treatment actually taught him a lot. "It was a great lesson in my life -- how he'd lull you in, make you feel safe and then, bang!" he says. "For me it was like, 'There's something wrong with this guy. Don't trust him. Be careful around him.' There's that anxiety."

    Tom said that he felt like an outcast as a child and had "no really close friend." His battle with dyslexia served to further isolate him and was "an absolute affront to my dignity."

    We feel sorry for Tom, and have some insight into his character. It's still not a good enough excuse for him to serve as a spokesperson for the cult of Scientology.

    Liz Smith points out that it doesn't matter if Tom gets bad press - as long as he continues to get press. Tom made a fool of himself while promoting War of the Worlds on Oprah and The Today Show. War of the Worlds was a big hit though, and Smith predicts MI3 will be, too.

    Tom seems to realize this, and has even pledged to go back on the Today Show with Matt Lauer!

    Smith also provides insight as to why Cruise would be sharing stories of his dysfunctional childhood at this point in his career:

    Could it be Tom actually engineers these little scandals as a way of hyping his films and generating sympathy among his fans? Of course not! But cynics may think so.

    Meanwhile press-hungry Tom has confirmed that he plans to marry his pregnant fiance Katie this summer. He may not have have much time to spend with his new bride while he's promoting Mission Impossible 3.

    Nicole and Keith to wed?

    Nicole Kidman's profile on the Oscars red carpet
    The rumors that Nicole Kidman, 38, and Keith Urban, 38, are getting hitched seem to come up frequently, but this time there's a decent reason: Nicole has been granted an annulment from her 11 year marriage to Tom Cruise. This clears the way for her to marry again in a Catholic ceremony.

    “It is believed Kidman has been told she would be granted an annulment of her marriage to Cruise because that marriage did not conform to the requirements of the church,” according to Australia’s Sunday Mail.

    It is also rumored that Kidman's parents want her to make Urban sign a prenupital agreement so that he can't get his hands on her fortune.

    Meanwhile there's supposed to be a scandalous reason behind Nicole and Tom's divorce that may be revealed by the surveillance tapes that were seized in an FBI investigation of the private eye that Tom hired to snoop on Nicole. No one seems to know what the scandal is exactly, so the mere existence of one doesn't mean that it's newsworthy.

    Kate Beckinsale will probably be the new Wonder Woman

    We reported a week ago that Kate Beckinsale was originally in the running for Wonder Woman and that she is a better pick for the role than Lindsay Lohan. It looks like the producers agree, because Beckinsale is now said to be in talks for the role:
    British actress Kate Beckinsale is the latest actress to be linked with the role of ‘Wonder Woman in Joss ‘Buffy the Vampire’ Whedon’s new film adaptation.

    According to FemaleFirst and joblo.com, Beckinsale is currently in talks with film maker who is said to be “very happy” with her.

    Beckinsale has recently starred in the dark film series of the ‘Underworld’ in which she plays a sultry vampire…some thing Whedon is obviously fond of.

    We hope Beckinsale gets the role, and that the film is action-packed and fun.

    Here's Beckinsale getting a pedicure in Santa Monica and Lohan walking to her car in Beverly Hills.

    2BFree Fashion Video and pictures of Nicky Hilton


    Nicky Hilton attended a cocktail party held by retail consulting firm Directives West in LA last night. She donned her typical black satin attire with black boots worn over jeans. Nicky needs to liven up her wardrobe a little and call in some help with her boring clothing line.

    Here's Nicky's sister Paris walking the runway at the 2BFree fashion show. There are also interviews with Kelly Osbourne, Haylie Duff, and an obviously drunk Tara Reid.

    Jessica Simpson to star in new Baywatch movie


    Looks like Pamela Anderson is too old to play herself in an upcoming Baywatch movie - because Jessica Simpson has been cast in the leading role!

    A source said: “Jessica really caught the eye in The Dukes of Hazzard film last summer. She was the unanimous choice for the Baywatch role.”

    Jessica, 25, will play a heroic lifeguard on Venice Beach, California — and may even copy the slow-motion running that made fellas such a fan of 38-year-old Pammi in the Saturday evening show.

    In a further blow to Anderson, producers want David Hasselhoff, 53, to reprise his role as Lt Mitch Buchannon.

    Meanwhile Jessica may have lined up another role for herself by purchasing the screen rights to a Jackie Collins novel, Lovers and Players. It is said to be one of Jessica's favorite books. We're impressed that she reads.

    The steamy book 'Lovers And Players' follows the story of a billionaire's exploits, along with his three sons and Liberty, a waitress who is 19 years old.

    The insider informed Britain's 'Daily Telegraph' newspaper, "Jessica says the role is perfect for her. She's hoping it will showcase her as a serious actress."

    Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie held a wild party and trashed their mansion


    Teen Princesses Beatrice, 17, and Eugenie of York, Sarah Ferguson's daughters, held a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed party for Eugenie's 16th birthday* that soon went wild. Guests got wasted and trashed the house, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage:

    The dinner and disco soon turned ugly when guests drank champagne and beer smuggled in for the ocassion.

    "To be honest it was the best party I've ever been to. Within a couple of hours it was out of control," one guest said.

    "At one stage someone tried to get into Fergie's bedroom — but the door was locked and Eugenie stopped them," another guest told The Sun.

    The clean up of the million-dollar mansion, known as Sunninghill Park, was quite an effort, a cleaner said.

    "It was like a bomb had gone off, the house was in a real state. There were empty bottles and broken glasses. It too

    [via]

    The article states that the party ended up costing the Fergusons nearly $50,000. The royal family denies the account of the chaos, saying that "up to 10 adults were present" and that no alcohol was served after 11.

    It looks like the British princesses are ready to make their mark on the world. We look forward to more stories of their debauchery.

    *The source article states it was Eugenie's 17th birthday, but Wikipedia and another source say she was born in 1990.

    Britney Spears is worse than insensitive


    Starpulse has a story stating that little people organizations are outraged that Britney hired people of small stature to entertain her husband at his birthday party in Atlanta. We could find no press releases or official statements confirming this, although it does seem obvious that her actions would upset people:

    Spears has been criticized by a host of foundations representing the interests of smaller people, who have branded the stunt at last month's (Mar. 21) surprise event utterly tasteless.

    At the party, hosted in a Las Vegas, Nevada restaurant, two female dwarves were reportedly employed to carry in Kevin Federline's 28th birthday cake, while another dressed as a miniature Sonny Bono alongside a Cher look-alike.

    Horrified sources claim boozy guests giggled and cheered, with some jokingly suggesting a dwarf-throwing contest.

    But dwarf groups are enraged at the appearances, insisting the stunt was demeaning.

    A member of America's Billy Barty Foundation - named after the late diminutive Hollywood veteran - says, "It is wicked to hurl abuse at anyone of diminished height simply because they are small.

    "We know dwarves and midgets who are immense in stature because of their talent.

    "Mostly they are able to rise above any insults. But inevitably, feelings are hurt by nasty comments. There's only one word for it - bullying."

    When we first reported that Britney hired dwarves to entertain her husband, we noted that "People who mock little people are ignorant and stupid." It's like hiring someone in black face for laughs, and Britney deserves plenty of criticism for this.

    Here are some little people organizations so that we can all be a little more enlightened about how offensive Britney's actions were. (Again, there are no official press releases, but it may be helpful to get someone else's point of view.)
    - Dwarfism.org, which notes that the term "midget" is highly offensive
    - The Children of Difference Foundation
    - Little People of America

    Britney is said to be due in September if she's really pregnant. We don't think that dumb bitch should produce any more children, and hope that the nanny can drum some sense into SP, because he doesn't have much of a chance with the parents he's got.

    Here's Britney getting her hair done and talking on the phone yesterday. [via]

    Tom Jones' plastic surgeon has cut him off


    Tom Jones, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth last week, has said that his plastic surgeon has told him not to get any more work done.

    SIR Tom Jones's face will collapse if he goes under the knife again, his plastic surgeon has warned him.

    "He advised me against having anything else done," reveals Sir Tom, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mirror...

    "He told me: 'Your eyes will be bloody popping.' He said I should try to look as natural as I can."

    He pulls down his bottom eyelids, revealing how he will look if he succumbs to the surgeon's steel again...

    "I've had some nips and tucks," he admits, with a laugh. But now, even with the health warning of one of America's top cosmetic surgeons, he's not convinced he can resist another op or bout of Botox. "I don't know," he muses. "It depends on what I think needs doing."

    Jones, 65, also admits to dyeing his jet-black hair and beard, and has a 48 year-old son with shock-white hair.

    Jones does all his own moves on stage and works out on a cross trainer an hour a day to stay in shape. He says he loves performing, gets bored if he takes time off, and has no plans to stop.

    People speculated that Jones' 49 year-marriage to Linda Woodward was in trouble when he showed up solo for his knighting ceremony. Jones said that his wife doesn't fly after 9/11 and seems to reveal that he has a non-traditional relationship: "Neither of us felt strong enough to walk away from the marriage... There's no need and it works for us and everything's cool."

    Jones has a new album, Stoned in Love with DJ Chicane, that is quite catchy and will be out later this month. You can listen to the title track online. (Scroll 3/4 down the page.) It's sure to be a hit.

    Star Jones continues to freeload


    Star Jones famously got a large portion of her sham wedding ceremony to Al Reynolds comped. Now she doesn't want to pay for stripping-focused exercise lessons, since she's not going to need them anyway:

    The large-and-in-charge co-host of "The View" - looking to tighten up after getting a breast lift (with implants) and losing 150 pounds (with gastric bypass surgery) - asked her manager to set up free private lessons at S Factor gym, where owner Sheila Kelley teaches her charges to use a stripper pole. Kelley offered only the first lesson for free, and Jones decided to stick with Equinox. Despite e-mails that show otherwise, a spokesman for Star said it was Kelley who approached her.

    Obviously Jones is up to her old tricks and thinks that her dim star power is enough to get her anything she wants. She should just be canned from The View already and become a spokesperson because she doesn't have many career options left.

    By all accounts, Jones' return to the View after the health scare she suffered from breast lift surgery was unremarkable. Jones brought some falsies in for her co-hosts, saying she no longer needed them, and admitted that she did have a scare on the operating table. She continued to downplay the threat to her health though and insisted that she was "eating bacon and eggs" the next morning. Jones seemed to get along fine with Joy Behar after their snotty exchange on the phone over the air. The two must have been making a special effort.

    Jones was honored by Dress for Success at the Marriot Marquis in NY last night. Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that provides secondhand business attire and interview tips to disadvantaged women. Jones must be considered a wonderful example for women afraid to ask for charity.

    Here's Jones in what's probably a borrowed dress at the Dress for Success event last night.

    Jolie-Pitt Fetus Update: African arrival


    Now that Jolie's ailing mother is back in France with her pregnant daughter, the media can't speculate if the baby will be born in the states or France anymore, so they've decided to change the venue entirely.

    This story sounds so fake it's laughable, but Jolie is said to want to have the baby in Africa now so that she can continue working for the UN until her baby is born:

    Angelina Jolie is set to give birth in Africa, it has been claimed.

    The pregnant star and lover Brad Pitt will stay at a private lodge in Namibia, south west Africa, while they wait for their new arrival.

    They have allegedly planned to have their child there so Angelina - a UN goodwill ambassador - can carry on working for the organisation throughout her pregnancy.

    A source told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "They've fallen in love with Africa and want to help as much as they can over there.

    "Angelina has completely changed from her old partying days and she takes her UN responsibilities very seriously."

    Last month, it was rumoured Angelina - who adopted her daughter Zahara from Africa last year - was planning to give birth in France as a tribute to her dying mother.

    Jolie can work for the UN remotely and this doesn't seem likely. Someone probably made up this story.

    Here are pictures of Brad leaving yesterday for a business trip and Angelina with Maddox after he had his face and nails painted.

    Johnny Knoxville brags about his staying power


    Johnny Knoxville revealed the most likely reason why it was his co-star, Steve-O, who "briefly" hooked up with Nicole Richie and not him: he likes to take his time during sex.

    [Knoxville] claims he is such a master in the bedroom any ladies interested in filming their sexual escapades would need two tapes.

    He said: "I haven't seen it so it's hard to compare, but I reckon you'd probably need extra videotape."

    Knoxville says the secret to his sexual prowess is he is willing to do anything to pleasure a women.

    He added: "Your wish is my command, ladies."

    Knoxville must be between conquests at the time, or he would surely be too busy to give long quotes.

    Tony Parker's friends think Eva Longoria is a slutty blabbermouth


    After Eva Longoria spouted all that shit about Tony Parker being inexperienced in bed and needing her tutelage - and then tried to take it back - it's not surprising that his friends think she's a blabbermouth and are questioning her sanity:

    Parker says, "Actually when I read it I didn't think it was bad.

    "My fellow Frenchies, all they talk about is sex,and they were like, 'Why is she saying stuff like that? Why is she talking about your private life and what happens in the bedroom?'" Longoria has since tried to clarify what she meant by her comments, saying Parker was actually the teacher in the bedroom and that he had only had been involved in one serious relationship before her.

    Longoria went on to say that "I never regret something I say. I regret how people perceive it."

    Her boyfriend is just a chump for putting up with her. She is so arrogant and she's going to have trouble having a career after Desperate Housewives.

    Here are some screencaps and collages from Eva's appearance on The George Lopez show. [via]

    David Beckham has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder


    David Beckham has revealed his battle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, from which he has suffered in silence for years:

    He claims former teammates at Manchester United mocked him and his wife, former SPICE GIRL VICTORIA BECKHAM, is bemused by his bizarre behaviour. Beckham explains, "I've got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line or everything in a straight line or everything has to be in pairs. "I'll go into a hotel room. Before I can relax I have to move all the leaflets and books and put them in a drawer. Everything has to be perfect. "I'll put Pepsi cans in the fridge and if there's one too many then I'll put it in another cupboard somewhere. "I would like to (stop). I've tried and I can't stop."

    We hope Beckham gets treatment and can overcome his OCD. It's brave of him to reveal a mental disorder and we won't make fun of him for it. His wife is fair game, though.

    Here's his skinny, greasy-faced wife outside of a restaurant in London on April 1st. She looks like she's on something and she's wearing fur!

    Uma Thurman may be back together with her ex, hotelier Andre Balazs. Thurman confirmed her split from Balazs in early March after a two year relationship. The couple was photographed on St. Barts recently, suggesting that they're back together:

    The pair have been photographed enjoying passionate embraces on the beaches of celebrity Caribbean hideaway, St Barts. The KILL BILL actress declared the end of their relationship on 6 March after her lone appearance at the previous day's Academy Awards sparked speculation their two-year romance was over. However, new pictures show their passion is very much alive.

    This explains the Gawker Stalker sighting of the two together in the early morning a week after their split. Maybe Thurman just wanted some alone time, but wasn't ready to break up yet.

    Countries try to increase tourism by claiming Brad Pitt is buying real estate


    We've read two different reports that Brad Pitt is buying real estate. One seems somewhat legitimate and the other sounds like complete BS.

  • First, Pitt is said to be investing in beach property in the Dominican Republic:

    The famous actor arrived in the country last Tuesday and visited the resort regions of Uvero Alto, Miches and Samaná where he will reportedly invest large sums in beach real estate.

  • He's also said to be buying a vineyard in Italy. Of course the spokesperson for the estate was more than happy to annouce Pitt's "secret" visit:

    Hollywood star BRAD PITT is planning to buy a vineyard outside Turin, Italy - a short distance from his pal GEORGE CLOONEY's Lake Como pad.

    MONICA TAVELLA, a spokeswoman for the estate, says, "Brad's visit was kept very secret, and only a handful of people knew that he was staying with us.

    "He stayed over a weekend which is usually quiet, so he was able to see the vineyard and the cellars where the wine is aged.

    "He was very interested in the whole process of wine-making, right from the vine to the bottle, and he was also very knowledgeable. He seemed to be interested in buying."

    Since no one else was at the vineyard at the time, there are no dates given for Pitt's visit, and only a 'handful of people" know he was there, we're sure there's no one to confirm the fact that Brad is interested in this failing winery in Italy.

    There are pictures of Pitt's visit to the Dominican Republic last weekend, though, which make the story that he's buying real estate there more likely.

    Naomi Watts may or may not be pregnant


    Update: We posted high-res pictures of Naomi Watts in a sheer top and miniskirt with the assumption that they were new. Reader Millie alerted us that the pictures were from last July and sent us these more recent pictures of Watts. Obviously we can't draw conclusions about Watts' pregnancy status based on those old pictures!

    The pictures of Watts in a blue shirt were taken on March 9th, and the pictures in a white dress are from mid February. Millie points out that her boobs are bigger - a sign of pregnancy. Is Watts going to be a single mom?

    The old pictures are now after the jump.

    Naomi Campbell is way worse than Pumkin


    Naomi Campbell doesn't just hit, bite, headbutt and throw objects at people, she also spits. Campbell spat in a security guard's face at a U2 concert a few months ago::

    The famously short-fused hottie hurled abuse at a security guard during a U2 concert last October after being told to stop sitting on a barrier, the source told the Daily News.

    "Campbell told the security officer that she was not going to get down and that he was a f------ a------," the source revealed.

    "She told him to go f--- himself and to get the f--- away from her. She then spat in the officer's face."

    The source said the abuse was witnessed by two other security guards and a senior Garden official was called in to intervene.

    Campbell was not even removed from the concert and was characteristically rude when officers gave her a verbal warning. The abused guard's harrassment complaint to police was closed because "Campbell's actions were considered more rude than harassing."

    Meanwhile the maid that Campbell struck with a crystal-encrusted Blackberry on Thursday said that she suffered from blurred vision and extreme blood loss after the attack.

    Cops have also recovered a mobile phone from Campbell's house that may be the one she used to hit the maid from behind. Campbell faces up to 7 years in jail if she's convicted.

    If Campbell wasn't famous she would have been hauled away for spitting at a security guard at a concert. Let's hope she has severe legal and monetary consequences for this latest episode.

    Sharon Stone tries to cement her status as the new gay icon


    Sharon Stone wants to record an album now that her lopsided boobs made their last appearance on screen in the campy Basic Instinct 2: Fame Addiction. She figures if she does something else right away it will help people forget how bad the film is.

    NOW that it looks like "Basic Instinct 2" isn't going to revitalize her acting career Sharon Stone is going to focus on her songwriting career. Last week, after her appearance on "The View," Stone went straight to a Manhattan recording studio, our spy said. "

    Sharon may have some luck with her new album, as it's sure to be a favorite among gay men.

    Pink is the new Sharon Stone


    Pink, trying desperately to make a comeback, is spouting a lot of crap to the press to try to drum up publicity for her album coming out this week, "I'm Not Dead." Britian's Mirror gossip rag, 3am, devotes its entire issue to Pink and has scads of dumb quotes from the singer, who uses a punk image to exploit teens who want to rebel but aren't cool enough to discover real music.

    Pink speaks out on everything from webcam sex to feminism:

  • Pink said kissing bi actress Kristanna Loken was better than kissing her husband, Motocross rider Carey Hart, because "Kristanna has the better tongue action."

  • Pink admires Angelina Jolie, Oprah, and Reese, and thinks that the media gives the wrong impression of women:
    if you look at popular culture you'd think we're completely happy in thongs with a stripper's pole between our thighs, and all we care about is the latest pair of shoes.

    Pink is completely happy with a stripper's pole between her legs, so we don't know why she's bitching about it.

  • Pink says she was never addicted to heroin and was misquoted by a tabloid:
    A disreputable tabloid misquoted me saying I'd taken heroin, but I was talking about my song Who Knew, which is about finding my friend dead after a heroin overdose.

  • After bemoaning the demise of feminism, Pink says that she made people take their clothes off to audition for her videos:
    Why can't everyone just be naked. That's what I love about being the artist, I had a casting couch for my videos. I'd be like take your s*** off and shake it...

  • She says that she's only been with her husband three times since they got married in January, and that they have frequent webcam sex to keep it hot.

  • Pink also claims that the most romantic moment with her husband was when he threw up at the same time as she did in a bid to empathize with her.

    Pink obviously doesn't care how she comes off as long as she's quoted. Her single, "Stupid Girls," is only 31 on the Billboard chart and her last album didn't sell that well:

    It only seems to prove [Stupid Girl's] point that it hasn't struck as deep a commercial chord as Pink may have wished. It only got to No. 13 on Billboard's Hot 100 Song list. This week it dips to 31. That's representative of Pink's career at this point. She needs to pull off a comeback with this album, a reality she cheekily alludes to with her "I'm Not Dead" title. Her previous album, "Try This," sold a tepid 700,000 copies. It's predecessor, "Miss Undaztood," moved 5 million.

Attending stars included Julianne Moore, Teri Hatcher, Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Kimmel, Jane Kaczmarek, Patricia Heaton, and Marissa Jaret Winokur. Royal asshole Billy Bush served as master of ceremonies.

    Calista Flockhart was also supposed to serve as a host, but does not seem to have shown up since there aren't any pictures of her.

    A little more about the disease Tuberous Sclerosis:

    Tuberous Sclerosis is a devastating disease that causes seizures, autism, mental retardation, kidney failure, lung failure and worse. There is currently no cure. The Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance is the only national organization dedicated to finding a cure for tuberous sclerosis while improving the lives of those affected.

    The event featured live auctions and comedy. Teri Hatcher even sat on a winning bidder's lap.

    12 more pictures after the jump.
