Our distrust in the gossip industry peaked this week, with several rumors being debunked, and fake quotes circulating like wildfire.
One thing he didn't do was oversee Katie's fitness program with Buff Brides. We know the creator of Buff Brides, Sue Fleming, and she assured us that she never met Katie Holmes and did not say that Tom was managing her post baby shape-up plan.

Liz Smith mentions in her column in the NY Post today that the photos that accompany Nicole Richie's interview in Vanity Fair were retouched to make her look healthy:
Nicole Richie became famous as soon as she started showing up for tons of events, and that just happened to coincide with her weight loss, probably because she had higher self esteem. While the ideal for slenderness in Hollywood is out of bounds and harmful to young women, I don't think that Richie's stardom can be attributed to her stick thin appearance. It is obviously unhealthy and not a good role model for anyone of course.
You can see the retouching in the photos below. In a picture of RIchie wearing underwear and kissing herself in the mirror, her butt looks a little too round to be real. Her face also looks less deathly.
The red string bracelet that Richie wears on her right wrist may not be a sign of anorexic pride that it can also stand for. (Some images are shown flipped, and the bracelet is really on her right hand.) It is from Kitson and is adorned with a gold hamsa, a protective jewish symbol. It's just, uh, a coincidence that anorexics also wear red string bracelets on their right wrists while Kabbalah followers wear them on their left wrists.
Richie admits in her Vanity Fair interview that she's too thin and that she's getting help from a doctor and a nutritionist.

Spoiler alert - if we haven't already spoiled it for you. Sorry about that.
Mischa Barton's character on The O.C., Marissa Cooper, may die of a drug overdose. Barton has several films coming up and is said to be tired of her ongoing role on the series:
News of Mischa's departure comes in the wake of reports suggesting she was trying to get fired from the show by pulling a host of sickies. The 20-year-old actress allegedly had become worried about the show's spiralling ratings and concerned about being typecast as a teen brat.
According to reports, in the last few months Mischa has frequently called in sick or arrived late on set to the displeasure of her bosses.
Marissa had a near-brush with death when she took a handful of prescription drugs while in Mexico in season one of The O.C. Ryan found her passed out, heroically saving her just in time. It will be a sad end to her character, and that's too bad that she's not waiting out the end of the series.
O.C. creator Josh Schwartz says the show will go on for one more year, and that there will be a major plot climax at the end of this season. It sounds like he might be talking about Marissa's death.
Here is Barton with Hayden Christensen in their film in production, The Decameron, a love story set in the middle ages. It is listed on IMDB with the title Guilty Pleasures.

Courteney Cox is the new spokesperson for the Kinerase skin care line. My mom has used the stuff and says that it works well. She prefers a similar product, MD Forte, though. Here's the PR blurb about Courteney's endorsement:
(PRWEB) May 4, 2006 -- Kinerase is one of the most prescribed skin care products by dermatologist and plastic surgeons. Kinerase skin care line is manufactured by Valeant Pharmaceuticals Internationals - a research-based pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of pharmaceutical products.
Courtney voices an animated character in the upcoming movie Barnyard, and she plays a tabloid editor in a pilot for the FX Network called Dirt. Both projects are completed and due for release, and she has several more in production.
Here she is leaving an office building in NY yesterday. These pictures are a little too nice, and she may have wanted the paparrazi to know where she was. [via]
Ed Norton and Evan Rachel Wood starred in 2005's Down in the Valley together, and if the latest Gawker stalker reports are true, it looks like they're dating:
"Just saw Edward Norton having lunch at the Spotted Pig at the next table over. He looked really hot and was laughing a lot, talking into his phone. He seemed really friendly and talked a lot to the waitress. A few minutes later Evan Rachel Wood sauntered in looking pissed off. She gave him a hug, sat down, and was bitchy to the waitress. I left before they did but she seemed really unhappy with her salad."
Sounds like they make a rude couple.
Thanks to ONTD for putting this together and finding these pictures from their Interview magazine spread.
Jennifer Love Hewitt came to the aid of a fallen paparazzo while out shopping in Beverly Hills. After the woman fell she helped her up and asked for a hug "so that I know you're ok." She was kind to the hoards of photographers following her and chatted with them. When she ran into Fred Savage, she told the paparrazi that he was her "first date ever" and talked about Savage's wife expecting a baby. TMZ has a video of it. (link leads to page, not direct video.)
Here she is helping the photographer [via] and with her new hair extensions on the Late Late show. [via]
We obviously dislike James Blunt and zealously report negative news about him. The latest is that the woman he cheated on his hapless now-ex girlfriend with says he has an itty bitty peter:
Tara, 34, who now calls the Brit winner James c*** after he reportedly slept with her behind the back of girlfriend Camilla Boler Tara stormed: "Let's just say the whole experience was small in every sense of the word."
Blunt broke up with his girlfriend over the phone after lying to her and saying he didn't cheat with Tomkinson.
Tomkinson also says Blunt has been trying to contact her, but that she's not going there again. Maybe Jessica Simpson will get word of this and let go of her foolish crush on the untalented singer.

No, not in the obvious way. At least according to this story. The hospital where Star had the gastric bypass surgery that she refuses to admit to had a problem sterilizing its equipment. So this isn't as sensational a story as we were hoping, either, sorry about that:
MediaTakeOut.com has just learned that the hospital where Star is reported to have undergone the surgery is warning its patients that they may have been exposed to HIV. Administrators at Scripps Memorial Hospital in San Diego told patients yesterday that because a nurse failed to properly clean instruments used in stomach-reduction surgery, they may have been exposed to the virus.
According to Don Stanziano, a spokesman for the hospital, "the risk (of HIV exposure) is extremely low but to be safe and take every precaution, we are having blood drawn and tested." Stanziano also told MediaTakeOut.com that state health officials are investigating the nurse's failure to properly sterilize the equipment.
If all this is true, and not some kind of conspiratorial cover up for the fact that Star's husband infected her (we did not come up with this, the bulletin board where we found the news mentioned it first), then hopefully nothing happened to her, and she'll be able to get on with her career of becoming the spokesperson for hemorrhoid cream after she gets booted off The View.
Oprah's best friend, Gayle King, is said to be in the running for Star's place on The View. Star is not considered long for the show now that Rosie is taking Meredith Vieira's seat. Star's contract is up in September:
King would be the perfect replacement for Meredith Vieira and Star Jones, that is if the latter decides to move on—or is pushed. King is a journalist and African American; she meets the criteria I suggested was needed here a few days ago.
Now, insiders say it’s not happening but other sources tell me oh yes it is. King did not return a call yesterday. But those close to new addition Rosie O’Donnell say she’s not only crazy about the idea, but would let King moderate the show if she wanted to.
Nearly anyone would make a better cohost then Star.

Michelle Rodriguez appeared on MTV's Total Request Live and Good Morning America yesterday. Her character was killed off this week's episode of Lost, but she has played it off and insists it's not due to her legal trouble:
But she insists her legal problems had nothing to do with her departure from the show - she had always planned to quit the series before she became a regular member of the cast.
And now she's keen to get on with her post-Lost life.
She says, "I planned it. When I signed on I kind of wanted (an) exit. I'm a gypsy, man. I need to be doing different things every year.
"I stays (sic) in one place too long, I get in trouble..."
Here's a Good Morning America interview with Michelle and a quick recap of her death and love scene on Lost. She said that her death was planned from the beginning, but that she didn't tell the other castmembers. She also said that her arrest taught her that it's time to grow up.
Here are pictures of Michelle on Total Request Live [via] and some candids of her in Hollywood after being released from jail. [via] She must use the same cosmetic dentist as Hillary Duff.
Katie Holmes came to the Los Angeles fan screening of MI3 last night, and she looked gorgeous. She did pair white shoes with a black dress, though. (It's surprising that she couldn't find a better pair since she spent all that time shoe shopping in her final days of pregnancy. She must have realized too late that comfort matters.)
In the "this sounds fake to us" department, Katie Holmes was said to be slated for a role as a Bond girl in "Casino Royale" before her pregnancy kept her from taking the part.
Tom appeared on BET Wednesday while in NY promoting MI3. He tried to dance, with humorous results (video below):
Here are Tom and Katie engaging in their trademark public PDA at the MI3 screening:
Everyone was waiting with baited breath to see what Britney Spears would announce in her press conference yesterday. I even got up early to catch the news and was suprised that it wasn't listed in the Google Entertainment News section yet.
It turns out that now our week of bullshit gossip news is complete, because the entire press conference was a hoax:
"Since I wasn't invited - I would hope so."
Sony executive Karen Phillips was quoted by wire service WENN on Wednesday as saying, "Britney hasn't held a press conference in so long that we know it's something big - pregnancy, a split, we're not sure."
But alas - Brit is silent.
The hard working folks at Jossip note that even Matt Lauer spent his morning wondering what in the heck Britney Spears' big announcement of the day will be.
While pregnancy rumors swirl, along with the "it's a girl!" slugs sparked by a pretty pink shopping spree, Brit hasn't actually told anybody (not even her gang of publicists and managers) what the announcement will be.
The presser is a no-go however and that's a shame. This could have been really interesting.
I googled "Karen Phillips" combined with either "Sony Music" or "Sony BMG" and logical variations like "Karyn," "Caryn," and "Philips" and got nothing about her - except for this supposed quote about the Britney press conference. There is a musician named Karen Phillips, but no "executive." She is also not included on the Sony BMG site among the "executives" listing, although there are only four old white guys there, so there are probably plenty more executives there.
The bottom line is, this Karen Phillips person who was quoted about the press conference probably doesn't exist.
Earlier in the week we found completely fabricated quotes about Katie Holmes' fitness routine from someone we actually know.
It's hard to determine where this press conference story originated, but clearly someone is making up quotes and it's just spreading.
This is gossip, innuendo and rumor, so it's not like it has to be held to a high standard of journalistic integrity. Still, there's a huge difference between saying it's your opinion that someone is pregnant or screwing so and so, and making up shit entirely and acting like it's true. Too many of these stories are totally bogus.
Oh, and Britney fan site BreathHeavy.com reports that Britney and Kevin are going to renew their vows after Kevin promised Britney that he would change. They don't have a source listed, though, and this doesn't sound true to us. Not much does lately.

Stavros Niarchos showed up drunk at Paris Hilton's house at 1:00 am on Monday morning begging her to take him back:
Around 2 am Paris finally let him in and the screaming continued. We are told they were so loud the fight could be heard outside the house. Stavros was heard hollering "Take me back!" and "I give you everything!!" Sources say during the fight Matt Leinart's name was brought up a few times.
We are also told Paris was overheard trying to calm down the rich Greek by saying "Take it easy" and "Go home and get some sleep."
During the night, a cab came and went three times, but each time left without the shipping heir. Finally, around 8 in the morning, Stavros got in a cab and headed out.
The plot thickens as Paris and Stavros were seen out Wednesday night together and sources tell us the two wound up spending the night at her house, leaving us to wonder are they apart... or not?
Paris was at Matt Leinart's draft party on Tuesday so that means she was with her new guy one night, and her old one the next.
Matt Leinart may be hot but he's not as rich as Stavros. Stavros inherited $275 million on his 21st birthday this month, while Leinart's contract with the Arizona Cardinals is said to be worth around $12 million. He also has a new endorsement deal with Nike, so it's not like he will be suffering.
Paris is playing the field wisely.
Here she is with Nicky going to Shag nightclub on 5/2. Barbara on the gossip rocks board points out that they are "two different shades of orange" and "so easy to hate." How right she is. [via]
Tom Cruise had a whirlwind tour of NY yesterday to promote MI3. He rode a firetruck down Broadway in the afternoon, then boarded a helicopter, and finally rode a subway to the premiere. The subway train was rented for $10,000 just for the occasion.
Cruise seemed uncomfortable and made some characteristically strange statements on David Letterman on Tuesday night. He didn't go into specifics about Katie's birth and seemed to skirt questions. People has the highlights:
"Did you have to bring it up?" Cruise shot back, then added, "I can't wait to get married." He was mum on the details, though he has said he and Holmes plan to wed sometime this summer.
As the two men discussed the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood, Letterman asked his guest to describe the arrival of his baby. Said Cruise: "It's exciting and kind of surreal because, all of a sudden, it's happening. Suddenly there's going to be this other person, and I found myself wanting to relish every moment and not forget it."
Was the delivery a long process, Letterman wondered? "No," said Cruise. "It happened quickly."
Cruise also said the baby is now up to 7 lbs., 10 oz., has a lot of hair, and remains at home with her mother, while he travels to promote his new movie, Mission: Impossible III, which opens Friday.
"Kate and I can't take our eyes off of her," said Cruise, who added that Holmes's mother and his own are providing most of the baby advice they require. Of Holmes, Cruise said, "She's magnificent. She has done so well … an incredible woman."
"She's so good looking," commented Letterman.
"That's the first thing I noticed," replied Cruise.
On Wednesday, Cruise continued his publicity blitz, appearing on Live with Regis and Kelly. As for how he and Katie share parenting tasks: "She's a woman so she does the womanly things,” Cruise said, indicating breastfeeding. His duties, he said, include burping the baby and changing diapers.
Cruise tries to hide behind a lot of vague adjectives, and reader Millie notes that he acted odd and was uncomfortable with specific questions about the labor. Wonder what that means.
Cruise is also said to be auctioning off the first pictures of Suri to the highest bidder. The photos are said to be worth around $1 million.
Katie Holmes will get a sweet deal if she ever marries and divorces the crazy half pint. She'll get $14 million according to a new prenup that's been set up. Even if she remains single, she and Suri will be taken care of with an $8 million trust.
Now that's not bad compensation for living a lie, is it?
Here's Cruise in all his glory on his whirlwind tour of Manhattan yesterday.
Jessica Simpson is said to be enamored with James Blunt and wanted to make sure she gave him her contact info at the MTV Australian music awards:
Blunt may be a sensitive singer, but he's a complete dumb ass and iit would be a disaster if these two got together. While Nick was able to balance out Jessica's ditziness with common sense and a grounded personality, Blunt has no such redeeming qualities.
Here is Jessica with her incompetent hairdresser Ken Paves at Mr. Chow's in Beverly Hills on May 2nd, and shopping with him on April 30th. [via]
And here's Blunt at a press conference in Mexico City on May 2nd and at Coachella.
News reports are taking this out of context. Kevin Federline was being interviewed on Power 106 radio station in California and the DJs asked him to answer "questions out of the forbidden hat." They told him he could "tap out" at any time, and that he didn't have to answer a question if he didn't want to. He said he wanted a threesome with Jessica Alba in response to a question, but that's a no-brainer, and he didn't even know her name.
We actually listed to this crap, and here's what he said:
KFed: Oh girl in Sin City, what was her name?
DJ: Jessica Alba
KFed: There you go...
DJ: if you were on a raft, out in the middle of the ocean, and both Britney and Sean Preston were in the water, who would you save? You could only choose one.
KFed: [no pause] Sean P, baby, my kids. I love you, I love you baby, but I have to say that one.
When questioned, he says that Britney is a better lover than Shar Jackson although he hesitates, and he also says Britney is a better dancer than him.
While it's rather damning that Kevin would immediately admit that he'd pick his son over his wife and wouldn't say it's a hard decision, it's not that unusual to want to save your helpless child over an adult.
Kevin says in a different interview that Britney supports his music career, and that he would probably give it up if she didn't.
Britney's big press conference for music industry executives is today. People are buzzing that she'll announce a pregnancy, and that she's having a baby girl, due in October.
You can listen to Kevin's interview online. Here is the mp3. [via]

Now that our faith in the gossip industry is waning, we're going to call it like we see it. (For a day or two at least.) The reporting paper where we read this tried to make out like Lindsay Lohan was in a catfight with Cameron Diaz since they both dated the same guy at some point, but it sounds like Cameron simply asked Lindsay to stop smoking when they were in the VIP section of a NY club together:
Scarlett Johansson, Lindsay Lohan, and Cameron Diaz have a lot in common – including dating Jared Leto!
That fact still makes Lindsay seethe and she has made no secret of her ire for Scarlett – and even reportedly wrote some pretty nasty notes on an NYC bathroom wall about Scarlett...
On April 24th Lindsay also lashed out at Cameron Diaz, who asked her to stop smoking in the VIP section of Shag club. It really wasn’t about smoking but Lindsay’s lust after Jared Leto still a pal of Cameron’s.
There’s a lot of jealousy there!
Lindsay's a nasty skank who thinks she can get away with whatever she wants. It's been illegal to smoke in bars in NY for years now, so she should know better. She was probably pissed because she knew Cameron was right.
Meanwhile Lindsay still hopes to clean up her image with that humanitarian mission to Africa we told you about. She's only considering it, doesn't have a date planned, and it's clearly all about making her look good:
"Lindsay knows the esteem in which Angelina Jolie is held has increased immeasurably since she started her work with the poor for the UN — and she'd like to be seen as more than an airhead who doesn't care about anything but partying..."
While Lindsay's rep said no immediate trip to Africa is scheduled, the source added: "Lindsay's ready to show a new, very human side — one that cares deeply about the problems in the world."
Lindsay's ready to try to get some good press for once is all.
Here she is in St. Paul, MN yesterday for the world premiere of A Prarie Home Companion. Stars were "carried in horse drawn carriages led by the Highland Park Senior High marching band down Wabasha St."
Thanks to reader Millie for sending us this People article debunking basically everything we've gleefully reported about the worlds most famous couple. Almost nothing, except the fact that Brad and Angelina are in Africa (or Angelina is, at this point) is true:
Damn! That just about blows every stupid thing we've written about them out of the water. My faith in the gossip industry is just about nil. They even make up quotes from people I actually know, and I'm not that connected.
Angelina did give a few real quotes in her Dateline interview that the press is blowing out of proportion. She said she can't quite believe that she's pregnant and is in denial about it, and that she plans on adopting more children.
She also supposely said that's she's not morbid, but that's not from her Dateline interview and is just some random quote so who knows if it's true?

I want to dislike Teri Hatcher, I really do. In fact before I read the synopsis of her interview on the Oprah site I had the opinion that the woman can't snap out of her crybaby routine. After reading what she said and getting an idea of what she went through, I have to say that it kind of touched me. I hope that she can get some therapy and realize that she has it pretty good now and that the past is behind her.
She talked a lot about her childhood abuse and how painful the situation was. She also said that Ryan Seacrest dumped her after a couple of dates, and made it sound like she actually bought into the situation:
"It's such a non-story" Teri says. "All the things you read in the tabloids about me and men are really non-stories."
Teri says she and Ryan were set up by a mutual friend, and after two group dinners, they met for a lunch date at an out-of-the-way location. "Interestingly enough, I haven't seen him since that day," she says. "We knew that the [pictures] had been taken, which must have bothered him enough. An hour after he dropped me off, he called to say, 'I don't think I can do this with you.'"
She denied dating Clooney at all, and said that she only went on one date with him. She also said she doesn't use botox and talked about the fake hair and boob tape that everyone uses to look better on the red carpet.
She looks pretty bad in recent pictures so maybe she doesn't use botox and that's the problem. As for her relationship with Clooney, I really doubt that they only had one date. There were all sorts of rumors about that. Still, now that I discovered quotes from a personal trainer about Katie Holmes that were completely made up, I have a lot less faith in the gossip industry.
Hatcher has a new memoir out, called "Burnt Toast," in which she chronicles her sad love life. She reveals that she didn't have sex with her second husband on her honeymoon, and they only had sex once in the year her daughter was conceived.
Hatcher says she's now looking for love and wants lots of sex. As we pointed out earlier, this is not the way to go about it, but at least it will sell books.
Here she is on Oprah. There's a short video clip for the show on the Oprah website. (This is up as of today, May 3rd, and may be removed shortly)
Update: Video segment where Teri discusses the Ryan Seacrest situation.
Paris was just linked with USC quarterback Matt Leinart after it was announced yesterday that she broke up with Stavros Niarchos. She's not wasting any time because she showed up at a party at Pure nightclub at Ceasar's Palace last night to celebrate Leinart's draft into the NFL. She even sang at the event.
Also attending were Nick Lachey, Danny Masterson, Wilmer Valderrama, Kimberly Kardashian, and Caroline D'Amor. View the e-vite for the event. (Warning - lauches automatic music.)
Leinart has been drafted to the Arizona Cardinals. He won the Heisman Trophy so he must be hot shit.
Here's some quick sports background on Leinart.
Matt Leinart was said to be dating Kirsten Cavallari at one time, but just like Nick Lachey, Cavallari said that they were only friends. Leinart has a blog that centers around his football career.
He seems to have a good head on his shoulders and we doubt he and Paris will last.
Here are pictures from the party.

The Mirror claims to have an exclusive today that Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have bought a mansion in a Chicago suburb, but we read about it several days ago at Bricks and Stones.
The Mirror reports:
And they found it in the posh Chicago suburb where Vince grew up...
Standing on 7.5 acres of land, the mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a garage that accommodates six cars and a huge double-height, woodbeamed hall where they can entertain their friends.
According to our spy, the pair are overjoyed that they've finally found their perfect home - and that it's far from the showbiz world of Hollywood. "Jen and Vince have spent ages looking for the right place and when they found this, they knew it was perfect," says a source close to the couple.
"It's in a quiet, private neighbourhood and Vince is so well-liked there that he and Jen are hoping they're just going to be allowed to keep a low profile and get on with their lives.
Bricks and Stones even had these lovely interior photos of their new home.
Now that Jen and Vince have officially shacked up, maybe she'll be more secure about their relationship. She supposedly asked him to call off a movie project that would have him filming in England for three months, because she didn't want to be alone.
Tom Cruise and Jamie Oliver appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last night. CBS has a video clip (link leads to page, not direct video) of the episode, but I turned off pop-up blocking in both Firefox and IE and could not get it to work. It's probably because I refuse to install RealPlayer. Maybe you'll have better luck with it.
Tom has written a rambling article for Time's 100 People Who Shape Our World issue in which he praises MI3 director J.J. Abrams. His writing reminds me of this crazy guy I worked for in 1998 who ran a dot com. He used words like synergy and turn-key and it was impossible to figure out what he was talking about. (Here's a web economy bullshit generator that can give you a good idea.)
Some choice excerpts from Tom's article:
From the very beginning, there was an insouciance that promised anything was possible. He's a creative juggernaut and someone who recognizes the joy of creating.
Doesn't Tom have someone that could have edited this for him? It's terrible!
Nicole Richie admits she's thin in an upcoming interview for Vanity Fair, and confesses that she has seen a doctor and a nutritionist about it:
About two weeks ago, Richie said she realized she was thin, but was nonchalant about it.
Richie wears a red string bracelet on her right hand, a symbol of anorexic pride. It seems like she's perfectly aware that she doesn't eat but is in denial about how severe it is and won't admit it outright to the press. At least she's trying to get help, but it's going to take a lot of hard work and therapy.
In related news, there is a picture of supposed coke residue after Nicole Richie left a bathroom stall, but the evidence is unconvincing and seems fabricated.
Here she is in La Quinta, CA at a Coachella Party. We realize that Taryn Manning is holding a little pipe in one of the pictures since everyone has pointed this out. They've also noticed that Nicole seems to have lost some her hair. Hair loss is a sign of anorexia.

The Scoop reports that Lindsay Lohan moved in on Paris Hilton's man while she was in Austria this weekend making a half a million dollars for hosting a rock concert. You snooze, you lose, Paris.
“Lindsay was all over Stavros,” a bartender told the mag. “At one point, he had his hand up her skirt!” Three days later, Stavros was reportedly seen leaving Lohan’s room at the Chateau Marmont.
Hilton is said to be “heartbroken” over the breakup, but the ever-resilient heiress is already busy mending her heart, and was spotted on the town with football star Matt Leinart.
There are pictures of Paris wearing a wig in a dumb attempt to go incognito while out on a date with Leinart, a USC quarterback, but for now they're low res. Once the big versions are online, we'll post them. (Update: TMZ has a video of the two together)
In the past few weeks, Lohan was said to be upset to find her fuck buddy Brett Ratner in bed with a gorgeous model, prompting a cat fight in Ratner's driveway. She also was said to be dating Keira Knightly's ex, Jamie Dornan. Plus, she just broke her foot. Can't the girl slow down?
Here is Lohan at a press conference for the terrible movie Just my Luck and Hilton arriving at LAX.
Update Paris supposedly broke up with Stavros because she didn't want to party on his boat with him all summer. Who can keep up?
Tom Cruise actually attended the Mexico City premiere of Mission Impossible 3 on Monday. He seems to care more about his fans than his wife and new baby. No other stars from the movie, not even secondary ones, appear in the premiere pictures so it can be assumed that he's the only one who went. If I'm wrong let me know.
When asked about Suri at a press conference, he said: "The hours go by so quickly, as I just stare at her." He also dismissed claims that he ate the baby's placenta, calling them "ridiculous." You said it, Tom.
Here's a brief video of excerpts from Tom's press conference in Mexico. He discusses MI3's director, JJ Abrams, and baby Suri. He seems distracted, tired, and out of sorts.
And here are pictures of him basking in the attention.
It came out about two weeks ago that Katie Holmes was following the Buff Brides program to get back in shape. It was said that she met personally with Sue Fleming, the owner of Buff Brides. Sue is a close friend of the family, and we reported that it was not true that Katie had met with her.
Now everyone is up in arms because Tom Cruise is supposedly overseeing Katie's shape-up plan, but they're basing that on quotes from Sue Fleming which are false.
Several newspapers are running the same story in which Buff Brides fitness guru Sue Fleming says that Tom managed Katie's fitness program and that he brought her to tears by saying that he wanted her to be a beautiful bride. We e-mailed with Sue today, and she assured us that she did not say the following:
"He told her he wanted her to be the most beautiful bride ever. She was in tears when he said that."
Maybe another trainer said this, but Sue Fleming did not. Sue's never even met with Katie Holmes, and these quotes are definitely not from her.
Meanwhile Katie's dad is said to be quite pissed that Katie is exercising so much, but given the fact that the quotes from Sue Fleming are totally fabricated, it sounds like this is made up too:
“Katie is already doing exercises to build up her back and shoulders and I simply can't go along with what is happening."
Those quotes from Katie's dad sound fake too, don't they? Who says things like "I simply can't go along with what is happening?" In fact this whole story stinks of b.s., but it's getting carried by plenty of newspapers. People want to believe that Tom is so controlling that he's telling Katie exactly how to work out.

Pink has said that she found it endearing that her husband, Carey Hart, threw up with her in a bid to win her affection. She also said he could pee in his hand and offer it to her as a gift and she would think it was sweet.
Given all the crap she says along with her reputation, it seems pretty odd that she would call an average sex practice disgusting and say that she's lazy in bed:
When asked about oral sex, she reportedly said: "My God. That's disgusting. I don't do that".
The 'Stupid Girls' singer - who is currently involved in a war of words with hotel heiress Pairs Hilton after she included a spoof portrayal of the blonde's notorious sex tape in her latest music video - went onto admit that although she is more than happy with her husband's sexual prowess she doesn't do much work in the bedroom.
She added: "I'm too lazy to go on top."
She must be trying to get press again because she hasn't been quoted in over a week. Surely she's not serious. Sharon Stone would vehemently disagree and would consider her at risk for rape! If this is true, we feel sorry for her husband. She can strip for him but she can't do her wifely duty.

David Blaine held the kick off press conference today at Lincoln Center for his week of living in a snow globe. As if it's not entertaining enough for us to watch Blaine be a human goldfish for a week, he'll attempt to escape from a bunch of chains and then try to break the world record for holding his breath:
In a week, he will remove the device and attempt to hold his breath underwater longer than the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds.
He also will try to escape from 150 pounds of chains and handcuffs during the breath-holding finale, which will air live in a two-hour ABC special, "David Blaine: Drowned Alive," on May 8 (8 p.m. EDT).
"As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini," Blaine explained Monday.
"I don't think about death, but I am prepared for it," he said, adding that his only fear is "the fear of the unknown."
I really doubt he'll break the world record for holding your breath underwater. That's got to be next to impossible fr someone who's already worn down like that. It would have been good enough if he just lived in the water sphere for a week - he doesn't have to throw the stupid chain stunt and breath holding into the mix.
So when Blaine dies, whenever it is, his obituary will include the fact that he lived in a coffin for a week, in a see-through box without food for 44 days, and in a water globe for seven days. I would prefer that mine says that I'm survived by my children. Really, the guy is an attention hound and is going to seriously hurt himself.
Gwen Stefani will include some tiny tennis shoes in her Lamb fashion line. She has announced plans to release gold-colored baby shoes under her label:
Stefani is also widening her footwear line for adults to include boots and stilettos.
Stefani is also designing a selection of watches and plans to keep expanding.
She adds, "I want to do lingerie and make-up at some point. I want to do everything, eventually."
She won't have much time to do everything. She is due to have her first baby with fellow rocker Gavin Rossdale in June.
Here they are outside a restaurant in Malibu yesterday. [via]
When Paris and Stavros were shown on the Jumbotron at a Lakers game on Easter Sunday, she got booed by the crowd despite the fact that she was wearing a Lakers shirt:
Even though she went to a basketball game on Easter, Paris claims she's deeply religious:
It's not very Christian to diss people publicly, is it? Of course we wouldn't know.
Here she is with Courtney Love and her sister Nicky at the "Sober Day USA" Launch Party with The Brent Shapiro Foundation For Drug Awareness in Hollywood. Brent Shapiro was the 24 year-old son of famous attorney Robert Shapiro. He died of a drug overdose last year despite being sober for a year and a half and turning his life around. He died after drinking and taking just a half tab of ecstacy. The Brent Shapiro foundation aims to raise awareness about drug abuse and decrease the stigma associated with discussing the problem.
It looks like Courtney and Paris are exchanging numbers. No comment.
Update: Paris and Stavros have split. Again.
The National Enquirer is running an exclusive that claims that Keith Urban has called off plans to marry Nicole in order to focus on his sobriety. They claim that Nicole had a fall wedding in Tahiti planned, but that Urban canned it and wants time off from the relationship:
Country superstar Keith has called a time-out in their romance to concentrate on his long-running battle with alcohol and drugs.
Sources say that Nicole had already set a date and started making plans for a fall wedding in Tahiti when the handsome star, voted Country Music Entertainer of the Year in 2005, delivered the bombshell news.
"Nicole is heartbroken — she thinks Keith is the man for her," said an insider. "Keith told her he wanted to cool things down before the CMT Awards in Nashville in April ... and Nicole was just gutted." They separated at that point — with Keith staying in Nashville and Nicole going off to The Hamptons to shoot a new movie.
A grim-faced Nicole, 38, has been spotted in East Hampton, New York, without the spectacular 3.5 carat ring that Keith, also 38, is said to have given her for the unofficial engagement last November.
This doesn't seem true to us for a few reasons. First of all, Nicole may not have been wearing her engagement ring while she was in the Hamptons, but she was seen with a plain gold band that looked suspiciously like a wedding ring.
From what we heard, Nicole was planning a summer wedding in Australia, not a fall wedding in Tahiti. The Sun reports today that Nicole has set the date for June 25th, beating Tom and Katie's expected 4th of July wedding.
Urban may have wanted some time away, but it sounds like a temporary thing, and the "insider" may have been reporting old news. They made a reference to the CMT awards, which were on April 10th, nearly a month ago. Keith spoke of Nicole specifically at the CMT awards, in what was viewed as his first public admission of their relationship. Plus, Nicole could be pregnant and has been seen with what may be a growing baby bump.
Hopefully Nicole and Keith will get married soon and put all these silly rumors behind them.

Sienna Miller is taking herbal breast enhancement pills in a bid to increase her cleavage.
According to Britain's Grazia magazine, Sienna, who has reportedly dumped Hayden Christensen to rekindle her romance with Jude Law - told friends: "I don't even need a bra now. It'd be wonderful to have some womanly curves again, I dream about it."
A friend of mine took those things a couple of years ago, and claimed they actually worked. She said they made her ass bigger too, though. At least she's trying to do it naturally instead of opting for the surgical route right away.
Sienna will design her own jeans as part of her deal with Pepe. It's a good thing that she's limited to jeans and can't do damage with a full fashion line. Remember how she said she would never design her own clothing line? Guess she considers this an exception.
Here she is at the Costume Institute Gala yesterday. Her hair is a mess. Has she ever looked polished and presentable?
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey may be ready for a reconciliation. Mike Walker of the National Enquirer reports that they have been meeting up secretly at out-of-the-way hotels in the San Fernando Valley:
Gossip king Mike Walker... writes that the pair are meeting at discreet hotels in the Valley and.. that Jessica reportedly dished to a source:
"We still have our problems, but we're still very attached to each other." She continued, according to the source by adding "We still have the need for love and affection."
Walker bets that they'lll reconcile, and it looks that way to us, too! In his Rolling Stone interview, Lachey admitted that he's still very much in love with Simpson. Simpson has also been spotted wearing her wedding ring around her neck to remind her of happier times. Let's hope that Simpson has realized what she's been missing and that she'll grow up enough to weather the storms that come up in every long term relationship.
Meanwhile Lachey has blasted reports that Lindsay Lohan intends to get in his pants, saying he doesn't consider her worthy, and doesn't know anyone else who does, either!
Here's Jessica stopping for food and going tanning in LA yesterday. [via]
In an awesome quote, Russell Crowe lets loose on Sharon Stone, saying that she's had a lot of bad work done and looks like a orangutan:
That's hysterical and we can't wait to see what Stone says back!
Sharon Stone just doesn't look bad because of plastic surgery. She has a bad personality of course, but she also doesn't know how to dress. She was photographed at Koi restaurant in Beverly Hills on April 25th. WTF is she wearing here? She's tied a scarf around her neck like a tie and she's wearing all black with ill-fitting leather pants and a crocheted jacket with a fur collar over a see through top. That's just wrong.

The Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art held a ball last night to celebrate the opening of an exhibit on British design. Sienna Miller, wearing an awful gold sequined minidress and black tights, served as co-chair for the event.
The flamboyant show, made up of themed rooms including a Hunt Ball and a Gentleman’s Club, is the latest example of the city’s growing obsession with all things from across the pond.
Celebrities from the UK including Liz Hurley, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell put on their glad rags for the lavish event.
The Americans were represented by A-listers including Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker and Richard Gere.
The British-born editor of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, swept in first.
Miller, who teamed her glittering frock with opaque black tights and wore her hair tied back in a simple ponytail, shared the limelight with Christopher Bailey, the creative director of Burberry.
He and Wintour were the starlet’s fellow co-chairs. The fashion house and Vogue publisher Condé Nast have sponsored the exhibition.
The guy dressed like a cabaret pirate posing with Charlize Theron is Dior designer John Galiano. He's responsible for her monstrosity of an Oscar gown with the giant shoulder bow. Sienna Miller is shown with Christopher Bailey, Burberry's creative director.
We have over 100 pictures from the event. Stars and designers attending include Alexander McQueen, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, John Galliano, Charlize Theron, Lindsay Lohan, Victoria Beckham, Emmy Rossum, Eva Mendes, Gisele Bundchen, Gretchen Mol, Jessica Alba, Josh Hartnett, Lenny Kravitz, Donatella Versace, Rupert Everett, Linda Evangelista and Amber Valetta, Jessica Alba, Marcia Gay Harden, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, Melania Trump, Donald Trump, Molly Sims, Rosario Dawson, Scarlett Johansson, Stella McCartney, Amanda Peet, Andre Leon Talley, Naomi Campbell, Angela Lindvall, Angie Harmon, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Bridget Moynahan, Tom Brady, Chloe Sevigny, Ciara, Dita Von Teese and Marliyn Manson, Drew Barrymore, Elizabeth Hurley, Erin O'Connor, Matthew Williamson, Eve, Gina Gershon, Ginnifer Goodwin, Ivana Trump, Jacquetta Wheeler, Jason Lewis, Jessica Stam, John Legend, Johnny Rotten, Josh Lucas, Joy Bryant, Julia Stegner, Iselin Steiro, Karolina Kurkova, Lily Cole, Lauren Bush, Lily Donaldson, Gemma Ward, Liv Tyler, Francisco Costa, Lydia Hearst, Mandy Moore, Minnie Driver, Nick Cannon, Petra Nemcova, Rachel Roy, Damon Dash, Ralph Fiennes, Richard Gere, Cary Lowell, Thandie Newton, Selma Blair, Shalom Harlow, Sienna Miller, Christopher Bailey, designer for Burberry, Zooey Deschanel, Sophie Dahl, Ivanka Trump, Mark Ruffalo, Taye Diggs, Idima Menzel, and Sarah Wynter.

16 month-old Zahara Jolie-Pitt suffers from rickets, a bone disorder that she developed while in an Ethopian orphanage. When she came down with a cold, Brad learned that rickets makes her more susceptible to all sorts of diseases that are common in Africa, including malaria and yellow fever. He became concerned for her health and brought her back to the states for medical care. Babies get sick a lot and Zahara will probably be fine, but this reopens the conflict between Angelina and Brad as to where Angelina will give birth:
And 30-year-old Jolie will be following hot on his heels with Zahara and four-year-old Maddox if her medical team recommend the move.
A source told us: "Angie wants to have her child in Africa but Brad has had doubts all along and there’s a delivery room on standby at Cedars-Sinai.
"When he mentioned Zahara had a cold he was shocked to be told that in Namibia she was more susceptible to diseases like malaria and yellow fever as her immune system would have been weakened by the rickets.
"A private flight was booked for Brad to have a consultation and he told Angie he is sick of worrying about them all.
"He wants them to be perfectly safe and for his first biological child to be born in the safety of LA’s top hospital."
You know Angelina will do whatever she decides, and won't let someone else tell her where to have her baby. She is said to be planning to use a birthing tub in a Namibian hospital for a water birth. I had most of my labor in a birthing tub and found it to be very relaxing. It's a nice alternative to medication and is said to be as effective as an epidural.
Update: Angelina Jolie's Dateline interview:
Here are pictures from People Magazine online of the world's most beautiful family. You may have seen most of them already, but some are new.
Younger members of the in crowd picked up lots of swag at the "Desert Oasis" Coachella invite-only party held in La Quinta, California on Saturday at Frank Sinatra's Twin Palms estate:
Andreas Herr, co-publisher of music publication Anthem Magazine, is hosting his second pool party Saturday afternoon at Frank Sinatra's Twin Palms estate. The magazine brought in Reebok, Amp'd Mobile and InSound to sponsor the event, and invited music label executives, fashion-industry types and musicians.
"It's an influential audience. It's something that our sponsors like to reach," Herr said.
Hopefully Nicole Richie got some free sunglasses. The ones she wore to the party look like they came from a joke shop.
Pictured attendees include Taryn Manning, Nicole Richie, Nicky Hilton, Kevin Connelly, Scott Speedman, Busy Phillipps, Alex Nesic, and Melissa Sagemiller.
Madonna performed at Coachella in Indio, California this weekend, which drew a record 60,000 people. This music festival also featured performances by Kanye West, Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, and Tool. It was Madonna's first appearance at the festival.
Madonna came on twenty minutes late, angering fans, and only played six songs, but the crowd is said to have loved it:
The set featured her latest hit single "Hung Up," "Get Together," "I Love New York," "Ray of Light," "Let It Will Be" and the vintage "Everybody." The show served as a warm-up for the May 21 kick-off of her Confessions tour in Los Angeles.
Here's a fan video from the show, in which Madonna asks the crowd if she should take her pants off during the intro to "Everybody."
And here are pictures of Madonna's brief show. It does look like she gave it her all.
Poor Jennifer Love Hewitt got her gorgeous black hair bleached blonde and cut short last week. She realized it looked bad, though, and seems to regret it:
Instead of just laying low and letting herself get used to it, maybe styling it differently, she dyed it a reddish color and got extensions put in.
J.Love - the way to cope with a bad haircut is by waiting a while. Unless the cut is lopsided, you are bound to make a rash decision if you change it right away! It does look a little bit better, but not much. Please don't mess with it any more.
She appeared with her new hairstyle at the launch of the new Hanes ComfortSoft underwear on Saturday. Notice in the picture of JLove posing with the Hanes models that she is fully clothed. Of course she would have been a lot cuter with plain hair and in her undies too, especially since her orange dress is God-awful.
Eminem is having a rough month. His second marriage to Kim Mathers broke up admit allegations of his drug abuse, his best friend the rapper Proof was shot and killed, and his mother is dying of stage four breast canncer. Eminem 
must have learned something from tragedy, because he's decided to put aside the long-standing feud with his mom and has spoken to her for the first time in years. He's even paid some of her massive medical bills:
However, now that Nelson has terminal cancer, Eminem is desperate to help. A source told The Sun: “The nightmare Debbie has been going through with her cancer has put everything into perspective.
“She is very weak and knows the prognosis is bleak. She is desperate to build bridges with her son and put things right before its too late.
“He has started helping her financially with her medical bills. They’ve spoken a few times on the phone and she desperately hopes he will visit her.”
It's nice that Eminem is making an effort, but what the hell is wrong with him that he hasn't visited his mom in the hospital?
Meanwhile 50 Cent says that Eminem is going to be ok and that hip hop reflects the state of violence in African-American culture and is not the cause:
The rapper insists that the sometimes violent lyrics in hip-hop music did not play a role in Proof's murder. He adds, "I think that the violence that happened to Proof and the violence that's happening across America right now has nothing to do with hip-hop. It has something to do with the people - the state of them - and the music doesn't alter that."
Maybe Eminem will actually see his mom before she dies. It might help him realize how important family and friends are, and how you shouldn't hold a grudge.

On April 13th, we reported that the Department of Children and Family Services announced that they closed their investigation into Sean Preston's highchair fall accident. We mentioned that it seemed odd that they would close a case so soon, considering that it usually takes months for them to investigate. It turns out that we were right, because Britney will now receive regular visits from the child welfare agency. They have made careful statements saying there's no "ongoing investigation," but they're still going to check in on her:
The Department of Children and Family Services have told the singer that it is routine procedure to make regular visits to her household as Sean was treated for head injuries this month.
"Initial visits showed no parental neglect whatsoever," a source told the Daily Star. "But it's routine to have follow-up checks. It would be important to meet any new nanny or carer, for the purpose of updating records. There's no investigation pending."
Seven month-old Sean was said to have suffered from a skull fracture, which may have occurred from a highchair fall or a reported fall off the couch when his father Kevin was supposed to be watching him. Sean Preston did not have a skull fracture or a blood clot, and those reports were false. He did suffer some kind of head injury that made him sleepy, though.
Britney is said to be five months pregnant with her second child. News reports went back and forth as to her pregnancy status, with the latest news stating that it's true. When questioned about his wife's pregnancy at a recent radio station appearance, Kevin said "I wouldn't bet on it."
Here is Kevin going out to dinner at the restaurant Nobu with a friend. Pictures [via]
We know you were anxiously waiting for these pictures of your favorite soap stars and talkshow hosts at the Daytime Emmy awards last Friday. Highlights include Star Jones showing off her new boobs, Martha Stewart looking smug and polished, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi cute 'n cuddly, Cady McClain of All My Children in a too-short babydoll dress, and Sean Young a typical mess.
Ellen DeGeneres remains everyone's favorite talk show host and took home the award in that category for a second year in a row. Guilding Light also won big:
Meanwhile, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" won the best talk show host award for a second year and best talk show for a third. The ceremony, which was hosted by Tom Bergeron and Kelly Monaco, was broadcast on ABC from the Kodak Theater.
"Guiding Light" nearly swept the other acting categories. Kim Zimmer, who plays Reva Lewis, won her fourth Daytime Emmy for lead actress, and three other cast members won their first Daytime Emmy: Jordan Clarke, who plays Billy Lewis, won for supporting actor; Gina Tognoni, who portrays Dinah Marler, won supporting actress; and Tom Pelphrey, who plays Jonathan Randall, won in the younger actor category.
Jennifer Landon, who portrays Gwen Norbeck on CBS' "As the World Turns," won her first Daytime Emmy, in the younger actress category. Onstage, the actress thanked her family, including her father, the late Michael Landon.
Here are pictures of the arrivals including:
Susan Lucci, Sean Young, Portia de Rossi, Ellen DeGeneres, Al Reynolds, Star Jones Reynolds, Ashley Jones, Barbara Walters, Bobbie Eakes, Corbin Bernsen, Amanda Pays, Lisa Rinna, Martha Stewart, Maria Conchita Alonso, Melody Thomas Scott, Tracey Bregman, Lorenzo Lamas, Hunter Tylo, Kristian Alfonso, Alec Musser, Antonio Sabato Jr., Anya Monzikova, Bobbie Eakes, Bree Williamson, Cady McClain, Crystal Chappell, Carroll Spinney with Oscar The Grouch, Davetta Sherwood, Bryton McClure, Michelle Ray Smith, Michael Graziadei, Rachael Ray, Schae Harrison, Seven and McKenzie Westmore, and Sherri Saum.
When I think of PeeWee Herman, I have to concentrate to remember the skinny pale guy in a bowtie with the weird laugh. That's because the first image that comes to mind is his disheveled mugshot.
Kevin Costner is lucky there is no photographic evidence of the fact that he jerked off while having a massage, because we might still think of the hot suave Costner from Bull Durham. When pictures like this of him come out, though, it's easy to imagine him doing the deed. (Although if you try and substitute old creepy Costner with young baseball player Costner it's kind of hot.)
The story is that Costner is said to have jerked off in front of a horrified female masseuse while honeymooning at a Scottish resort in 2004. Everyone speculated it was Costner a while ago, but the actor's involvement was confirmed, at least according to his accuser, when the court lifted privacy restrictions on the case last week.
One of Costner's exes has come to his defense, stupidly claiming that the hotel worker must have been rejected by Costner and is going through all this trouble to get back at him:
Clearly this woman remembers the younger, hotter Costner of yore. Maybe that guy wouldn't have dared to get off in front of a bewildered masseuse, but creepy Costner didn't care.
Here is Costner performing with his new "garage band" at the BMW Charity Pro-Am golf event in Greenville, South Carolina on April 29th. Costner was the "headliner" celebrity golfing at the event. Other stars involved included hockey great "Wayne Gretzky and Brett Hull, quarterback John Elway, actresses Catherine Bell and Janet Jones-Gretzky, and actors "Cheech" Marin and John O'Hurley."
Lost star Michelle Rodriguez, 27, picked five days in prison, with credit for time served, instead of performing the equivalent of six weeks of weekday community service for her second DUI offense. It seemed like she was being arrogant and just wanted to get it over with.
She may have had another motivation for opting for close quarters with other women. News of the World has an unsurprising but titillating account of Michelle's hot romps at lesbian clubs in NY and Miami:
And on a visit to Miami's Skybar the star—who was jailed for five days this week after admitting drink-driving—stripped off to go skinny dipping with a naked girl.
One onlooker at New York's Duvet club said: "She set the place on fire and nobody could take their eyes off her, she was so sexy."
Dressed in skin-tight striped trousers and a white vest, Michelle romped with her new pal on one of the club's king-size beds. The onlooker said: "She was certainly not a shy girl as she pushed her breasts against the other girl's boobs and moaned in her ear.
"It was the sexiest thing anyone had ever seen. Michelle was totally hot that night and she knew it. She seemed to be going from woman to woman, nuzzling her face in their breasts. She couldn't keep her hands to herself. She looked like she was in heaven."
She's an unapologetic woman, and probably won't care that this news gets out. News of the World quotes her as saying "I'm glad [men] stay away because they consider me intimidating or gay or whatever. It weeds out all the jerks."

Michelle and Cynthia Watros, both stars on Lost, were arrested December 1, 2005 for DUI in Hawaii where the series was filming. Their characters may get killed off at the end of this season:
"It's a done deal — Michelle and Cynthia's characters will die by the season's end," a set insider admitted.
You can't mess around if you're on Lost. Anyone can die at any time on that series.
Rodriguez may get even more jail time. She faces sentencing in a separate DUI case in LA on May 5th.
Sorry that these pictures of Michelle getting all sexy with other women are low res. Maybe some better versions will come out soon.

Charlize Theron, 30, was photographed getting all kissy-face with her boyfriend of five years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, 33, at the Lakers game on Friday. They look incredibly happy and in love, and Charlize was seen with what looks like an engagement ring on her left ring finger.
The couple had some relationship trouble in March, but seemed to have patched it up. Here's the recap:
I think I know what happened, because it's a tried and true female relationship strategy. When a guy won't commit, you act like you want the same thing. Then you break it off from him, and he comes running back.
It seems to be popular to try to announce your engagement to the public by showing up at a Lakers game with a ring. Cameron Diaz was seen with a ring on her engagement finger at a Lakers game with Justin Timberlake on April 10th, although the press doesn't seem to have picked up on the news yet.
We're calling this an exclusive because we spotted the ring in the pics, and no one seemed to notice it on Oh No They Didn't! where we found the pictures. Other blogs that have posted the pics don't mention it.
