Save Perry!


Britney Spears' gorgeous bodyguard and sometimes manny, 28 year-old Naval Academy graduate Perry Taylor, has been removed from his close position with the troubled pop star and is now working security detail on a daily as-needed basis. He was helpful, attractive, and friendly, and K-Fed is said to have asked Britney to fire him after he heard about how Perry was changing Sean Preston's diapers and serving as Britney's unofficial nanny:

Perry Taylor, who was originally hired to be one of Brit's bodyguards, was relieved of his duties as Sean Preston's nanny but will stay on in security detail. "Kevin didn't think it was proper to use him as a nanny," says a pal. "He wasn't jealous. He just think it's a job for a real trained nanny."
(From In Touch print edition, 7/10/06)

Obviously K-Fed is still feeding his friends quotes to give to the rags, because the source was careful to say that he wasn't jealous or anything. Oh of course not. We've never seen Kevin wearing a Baby Bjorn, but Perry donned the baby carrier with pride and a cute button smile.

People were unsure about Perry's identity at first, initially confusing him with Britney's record producer, J.R. Rotem, with whom he bears a resemblance. Perry's identity soon came out, though, and he became an Internet and press phenomenon.

Perry was touted as the reason behind Britney's cleaned-up appearance in the absence of K-Fed, and people speculated that she was having an affair. Perry's mom put those rumors to rest by telling the press that her son had a hot live-in girlfriend.

Everyone from the NY Times to U.S. News and World report discussed the merits of male nannys, or the "manny." We couldn't get enough of Perry.

Then, last week, Britney was seen out alone and with new jet-black hair after her "Dateline" debacle. It seemed the rumors of Kevin's dissatisfaction with being upstaged by the help were true, and that Britney had obeyed her do-nothing husband and got rid of the best thing that happened to her since the birth of her baby.

We haven't seen the last of Perry Taylor, though. We hope that Angelina is watching this young guy's rise to fame, and will hire him to soften up the image of her security force while lending an extra set of hands to care for Shiloh and Zahara.

Thanks to Kylie on MySpace for reminding me about Perry.

Here are pictures of helpful Perry during his employment with Britney. He's been seen buying flowers for Britney, and he even holds the car door open for her.

Paris Hilton is after German soccer player Lukas Podolski


Paris Hilton appeared on a German TV show yesterday wearing a custom-made soccer jersey with "Hilton" written on the back. She said she thought Germany's soccer player Lukas Podolski was "hot," but Podolski is from Poland and just plays for Germany.

Host Stefan Raab: "So, you like Lukas Pudolski?"

Paris: "I don't know him, I just think he's really good looking. He's an amazing player."

Stefan Raab: "First he comes from Poland, but then he comes from Cologne. You're single at the moment? Maybe I can arrange something between you and Lukas Podolski. Wouldn't it be nice? Paris Podolski?"

Paris, laughing: "I wish them luck on Friday."

Here's the clip, courtesy of The Wade Blogs:

Paris next directed an on-stage soccer tournament with blindfolded players shouting "Harder Harder! Kick it forward hard! Kick it in!" You can watch that segment here.

The Wade Blogs points out that Paris has been saying she wants to get with various soccer players as she promotes her album in Europe. Some of her quotes in the British press are rather suspect, though:

We will always have Paris... it turns out Hilton has been flapping about who she likes all across Europe as she flacks her new album. It was first reported in the UK's Sun that her soccer goals are as follows: 1. LUKAS PODOLSKI 2. FREDDIE LJUNGBERG 3.DAVID BECKHAM.

(excerpt) “I think Lukas is the sexiest man on the pitch. I would really like to meet him." In fact, she claims her life right now is all about soccer — and cooking. She enthused: “I am a keen football fan. And I can cook really well — although you wouldn’t think it to look at me.” Paris admitted she is keen to become a mum once she has found the right fella. She explained: “He needs to be honourable and make me laugh. I want a baby within the next five years.”

Pitch.. keen.. come on! There is no way our bubbly blonde uses English colloquialisms in her everyday vernacular. The above excerpt had to be penned by PR flack/hack. We sincerely doubt Paris has ever heard the word "keen" (in fact we'd bet the only keen she's ever heard are the Brit band named Keane). Next thing they are going to tell us is that Paris is burning to replace "That's hot" with her knew turn of phrase "That's keen."

Now that Paris has almost ruined the careers of quarterback Matt Leinart and hockey player Jose Theodore the sports world is interested in her. ESPN's Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon debated Paris' love life on their show "Pardon the Interruption" this week:

Kornheiser and Wilbon tried to decide how many athletes Paris will be "linked to" in her career. "There are boys in tee ball right now, who when they grow up, they will say, 'Let me at Paris Hilton!'" Wilbon said.

Wilbon went on to predict that Paris would be linked to 27 athletes by the end of the decade.

It does look like Paris is fixated on athletes, although some are bound to take their teammates advice like Matt Leinart and stay far away from the herpes-laden heiress.

Paris said earlier in this German interview "I think German guys are really hot." I can attest to that, since my husband is German. If the German game of the World Cup wasn't on now I might have asked him to translate some of the German in that video.

Germany is now playing Argentina in the World Cup, and Argentina is unfortunately up by one goal. Lukas Podolski got a yellow card four minutes into the game.

Update Germany won in nail-biting penalty kick overtime!

Here is Paris promoting her CD in Cologne on June 27th. She wearing those dumb yellow shoes with the giant bows again. [via]

Courteney Cox nipple slip


Coco Cox pulled her mom's top down while they were swimming. Courtney seems to think it's funny, and these pictures are pretty cute. My husband appreciated them too.

Jennifer Aniston sent Courteney Cox a bizarre present for her 42nd birthday on June 15th - a transexual performer that looked like her character Rachel Green from "Friends":

According to WENN since Aniston missed Cox's 42nd birthday celebrations Thursday to promote her new film, "The Break-Up," in the UK she was desperate to show the actress she hadn't forgotten the special date.

So - as described above Aniston thought up a gift to surprise Cox Arquette on her big day.

Aniston reportedly said, "I made it up to her by sending a tranny impersonator of Rachel. He can cheer anyone up."

Too bad there aren't any pictures of the tranny with Courteney. That would have been much better than Tori Spelling and her tranny inpersonator.

Courteney has a great beach body and hasn't succumbed to the super-thin look of some celebrity mothers. There's a picture of her power walking with weights in the latest Us Weekly.

Matt Dillon and Nicole Richie?


Nicole Richie was supposedly back with DJ AM for the third time, and was seen getting lunch with him at In-and-Out burger on June 20th. It's hard to keep up, though. Us Weekly says:

"[Richie and DJ AM] are just friends," insists a source. "She doesn't want to let go, but doesn't want to get back together [either]."
(From Us Weekly print edition, 7/10/06)

Richie is playing the delicate game of trying to stay fuck-buddies with her ex to minimize the breakup pain, but keeping her options open. She was spotted with unlikely beau Matt Dillion at Hollywood hotspot Chateau Marmot last week:

After a Dolce & Gabanna party at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on June 22, a Richie pal tells Hot Stuff that the star, 24, hooked up with Matt Dillion, 42, in a room at the Chateau Marmot. "They have great chemistry," says the friend. Fellow guests at the party earlier in the night say it firsthand: A source says the two.. "cuddled and looked very cozy. They spent the whole time at the party together and seemed so into each other." (Dillon's rep... tells Us, "Someone's making up a story. He spoke to her for five minutes at an event, and that's it..." The pal says Dilon has called Richie since their night together, but adds, "It's not very serious. Nicole is enjoying being single."
(From Us Weekly print edition, 7/10/06)

Even if Dillion only spent five minutes with Richie, that's plenty of time for a meaningful relationship to develop. Both Busta Rhymes and Kevin Smith's pal Jason Mewes claim to have had quickies with the tiny socialite.

Richie and Dillon make an unlikely couple, but Dillon seems like a good guy who's mature enough to commit at least. Maybe something will come of it.

Dillon will next star in the comedy "You, Me and Dupree" as Kate Hudson's husband. Owen Wilson plays an unwelcome houseguest.

Here is Richie at the opening of Club Social Hollywood on 6/27. Matt Dillon is shown with director Brett Ratner at a party for the president of the Dominican Republic on 6/23, and at the Dolce & Gabbana party where he hooked up with Nicole Richie on 6/22. He is also seen with his brother, Kevin, at the "Entourage" Season Three New York Premiere after party on 6/7. Only the first picture of Richie is high resolution.

Charlize Theron at the LA Film Festival's "Spirit of Independence"


Charlize Theron was given the "Spirit of Independence" award at the LA film festival yesterday. Theron says that it's a misconception that you're typecast once you do indie films and can't make the transition to blockbuster movies. That's probably true if you're a statuesque blonde with great talent, but not if you're a short fat character actor:

The prize, given to George Clooney last year, was set up in 2005 to "recognise an individual for his or her commitment to artistic independence in film".

"What we love about her is she's made interesting choices," Dawn Hudson of Film Independent, the non-profit body behind the annual festival...

Her next role is as a heroin-addicted single mother in The Ice at the Bottom of the World, to be directed by British film-maker Sir Alan Parker.

"I think the biggest misconception about independent film-making is that if you do those movies you'll always be thought of as that kind of actor," Theron said.

"It's not true. If anything, I hope to have that kind of career, where you can go back and forth and do different things."

With an academy award and a new serious role in the works, Theron doesn't have to worry much about her career.

The Spirit of Independence Awards were presented by Virginia Madsen and Jimmy Smits and also honored directors Steve Collins and Amy Berg.

Here is Charlize at the Spirit of Independence awards with the Target dog, and her boyfriend, actor Stuart Townsend. Her left hand is not visible in these pictures, so we can't see if she's wearing that wedding ring again.

Tori Spelling learned by text message of her father's death


Tori Spelling's relationship with her mother is so bad that she didn't learn about her father television producer Aaron's death until after it hit the media - and she read a consolation e-mail from a friend:

On the night of June 23, Tori Spelling sat in Betty's restaurant in Toronto, eating a hamburger with... her husband... although her father... had suffered a stroke five days earlier, he was, as far as she knew, resting comfortably at his home. Tori was booked on a flight leaving the next morning for L.A. "I was told he could have had months to live," she tells Us.

Then, during dinner, came the heartbreaking news, received in the inbox of her BlackBerry: "A friend of mine had seen a TV report and e-mailed me, 'I'm so sorry. I just heard your father died.' And I was in total shock."

The strange truth, says Tori, is that she had not received a call from anyone in her family before the death was made public. Her sorrow quickly turned to anger. "My first thought was, I can't believe my mom didn't call me!"

(From Us Weekly print edition, 7/10/06)

Tori is fighting with her mom, Candy, and hasn't spoken to her for months. She wanted to make fun of her mom's eBay hobby in her VH1 faux reality show, so NoTORIous, but her mom got pissed and refused to go along with it. Loni Anderson had to play her mom on the series.

Tori says that she did see her dad on June 11th, and that she believes he held on until he was able to see her, and then was able to slip quietly away.

"Honesly, I believe 100 percent [he was holding on for me]," she says. "And part of me knew as soon as I saw him he would start to let go." Their final conversation took place just days after his stroke. "The last words he spoke to me were over the phone a couple days before he passed," she recalls. "He said, 'I love you, babe.'"

When I read that Tori thought she somehow gave her dad permission to die, I thought that was arrogant of her. Then I asked a couple of people about it and they had similar stories of loved ones waiting to see someone before they died. This is all too sad to think about, so let's move on to trashing Tori.

It's not surprising that her family isn't pleased with her. She left her first husband, writer Charlie Shanian, after barely a year of marriage and a $1 million wedding at her father's estate. She was cheating on the guy with actor Dean McDermott, who was also married with a wife and kids at home. She married McDermott in a private ceremony in Fiji on May 7 with none of her family present.

Tori attended her dad's funeral on June 25th, but her mom issued a statement about Aaron's death the day before only on behalf of herself and Randy. Tori's name was left off in a deliberate snub.

The US Weekly article speculates that Tori's mom may be having an affair with "Beverly Hills businessman Mark Nathansan." Of course Tori blabbed about this to the rag, but then she tries to take the high road by saying "My mom's behavior simply made me uncomfortable to be around my family."

Tori's mom is completely outraged by accusations in the cover story on this week's Us, and issued another statement condemning Tori for her big mouth:

"We are deeply saddened that, during our time of loss and grief, we are forced to respond to the media frenzy caused by the mean-spirited and surprising comments made by Tori to the press, just two days after the passing of [AARON SPELLING]. As we try to honor his memory with love and respect, the sudden media frenzy she has created at this sensitive time is hurtful and very disturbing. Aaron's legacy deserved pure and unadulterated tribute and recognition which, sadly, has been tainted.

Everyone deals with grief in a different way, and since Tori chose not to be here at that time, we believe she is having a harder time dealing with that loss. We understand how difficult it might have been for her to be here, and, perhaps, more difficult for her after she arrived. Aaron loved both his children with all his heart, and he understood how hard it was for her.

We hope Aaron will be remembered with reverence and spirit for the monumental legacy he has left and not for the petty and tabloid headlines which have marred his articles of remembrance. We have mourned our great loss as a family and will continue to do so as that is what Aaron deserved."

Tori's father Aaron was known for conspicuous consumption and has the largest mansion in all of California. Her mother is characterized by Us as "an ex-model with a penchant for furs, diamonds and doll-collecting."

No details of Aaron Spelling's will have been made public yet, but Tori must be expecting to get a large chunk of her father's fortune or she wouldn't be so bold as to sell her story so soon after her father's death.

Tori is rumored to be pregnant, which might explain the terrible outfit she wore to the Linea Pelle 20th Anniversary Party in LA on 6/12.

Madonna, I mean "Esther" renames Lindsay Lohan "Rose"


Having failed to convert Britney Spears to Kabbalah, Madonna is trying to bring Lindsay Lohan into the fold. Lohan is in need of some spiritual guidance in between all of her exhausting bed hopping, and
admitted to being interested in the cult back in March:

"Yes, I am looking into kabbalah. I guess why is because all of us need something. You just have to grab onto whatever can get you through. Maybe it's this business, but it seems everything around can be so tough, so hard. I think you have to have somewhere to turn for a little softness and understanding. I know I'm really trying."

Now that Lohan has stuck her little toe into the expensive Kabbalah tap water, Madonna has renamed her in an attempt to prime her for full-on indoctrination:

The world knows her as Lindsay Lohan, but Madonna now calls her Rose! According to an insider, when dealing with others who share her spiritual belief in Kabbalah, Madonna goes by her Hebrew name, Esther, and now that Lindsay has taken up the religion, she will go by Rose. "Madonna helped Lindsay come up with the new name, partly based on her birth date and place of birth," the insider says. "Lindsay adores her new name."
(From In Touch print edition, July 10, 2006.)

People who stay in cults are so gullible. (There's no shame in getting caught up in a cult or being born into one. Staying active in one for years by your own will and trying to convert other people is another thing.) Madonna may think she's the queen of pop music, but she's giving all her cash to some shysters in exchange for their bubble-gum insight and a sense of superiority. It may feed her smug attitude, but maybe she'll realize at some point what's going on and feel like the fool she is.

If you don't think Kabbalah is a cult, read cult expert Rick Ross' articles on it. Kabbalah and its founder, Philip Berg, have ruined lives and ripped off thousands of people. Lohan is about to be next. She loves spending money, and she's about to get a chance to throw some down the dark hole of manufactured spiritual enlightenment.

Here's a link to a good overview of the characteristics and techniques of cults. It's not just about losing money. A lot of families, friends, and personal identities get washed out too.

Here is Madonna with her daughter, Lourdes, in NY on 6/27, [via] and Lindsay Lohan at the opening of club Social Hollywood also on 6/27. [via]

Madonna is wearing blue slippers in these pics, and she's not wearing her wedding ring.

Britney Spears dyed her own hair black - is she copying Angelina


I was right that Britney dyed her own hair black. I said at the time "Britney probably popped into the local CVS to make her own decision to dye her hair this jet black color." This weeks Us Weekly details Britney's rash decision to go black:

After the media slammed Spears' June 15 Dateline NBC interview (The NY Post reported that fans called her hair a "rat's nest"), the actress took action. "She felt terrible," says a source. "She pulled out her extensions and bought a bottle of hair dye" (calling her doctor first to ask if it was safe for her unborn child). "It's vegetable dye and will wash right out," says Spears' rep. Still not content, Spears chopped her hair into a bob. The verdict? "Kevin loves it," says a source. But editors at Harper's Bazaar were "horrified," says another source, when the darker Spears arrived for a June 23 photo shoot. (Bazaar had no comment.) The fix: blonde extensions, a source says, from the line HairDo by Ken Paves and Jessica Simpson!

Inset pictures in the article say that "Spears called Oscar Blandi Salon's colorist, Christopher Cillione, on June 29, but he was fully booked," and that Spears "plans to go back to her natural color, light brown, after she has the baby."

There are several things I don't believe about this article. The first is that Britney called her doctor to ask if it was ok. Who does that? She is said to be overly concerned after all the problems with SP, and this could be true, but I doubt it. The second is that she used some kind of temporary "vegetable dye" color as is reported by her publicist. If that was true, she would have gone back to blonde for the Bazaar photo shoot. It's also not true that she had blonde extensions added for the Bazaar shoot, because we have the pictures and her hair is completely black.

In Touch asks if Britney's trying to copy Angelina with her new hair color:

Brit, who had a crush on Brad Pitt when she was younger, has dyed her hair dark brown! "This is a decision to be a clone of Angelina, who wears her motherhood with dignity," says image consultant Michael Sands. "Britney wants to be respected by her public like Angelina is."
(From the In Touch print edition)

Britney's hair does look better black and in a bob, but you can tell it's a DIY job and not professionally done. It's one blah color and lacks the slight variations and highlights a stylist could add that would make it look more natural. She needs to get it fixed in a month or so and add some subtle darker highlights.

Christina Aguilera won't even look at interviewers


Christina Aguilera is such a diva. Not only does she arrive hours late for most every scheduled interview, she also refuses to look interviewers in the eye. She insists that the room is darkly lit and sits facing the other way while she answers questions:

Christina Aguilera has always had a diva attitude - arriving hours late for everything, big demands, feuds with everyone from Mariah to Kelly Osbourne.

Now with the release of her new album she's learned a new trick. During promo interviews she's refused to look at any journalist. Instead, the diva insists that the interview, for which she's usually two to four hours late, takes place in a dimly lit room, where she sits and stares in the other direction completely to the journalists while they ask, and she answers, questions.

(From the popbitch e-mail newsletter)

If this is true it's ridiculous and Aguilera deserves a serious career slump for being so arrogant. Maybe she'll learn when she's older that she's no better than anyone else and that you have to be kind to people - especially the press - if you want a good reputation.

Maybe kids will soften Aguilera's outlook - although she predictably doesn't seem to want any because they would interfere with the amount of time she has available to apply makeup. She's vague on the issue of children and gives a diplomatic answer to make it seem like not completely uninterested in them:

"Maybe after the next couple of years we'll start venturing into the mindframe of starting our family." she told In Touch... "I do have goals and a set game plan for myself."
(From In Touch print edition.)

Notice that she doesn't say she'll start thinking of having a family, she gives an answer that's even more removed from that - "we'll start venturing into the mindframe of starting" a family. That means no way does she want kids at this point.

She has also called her new album "Back to Basics" her "child" and that it's like having twins:

She said: "Everyone’s asking when I’m going to have children. I just tell them my new album, ‘Back To Basics’, is my child. I’m having twins! It’s so exciting."

It is not the first time Christina has compared her new record to having a baby.

Earlier this year, the pop beauty said making her new album was the same as being pregnant - twice.

WTF would she know about having kids or being pregnant? That's so fucking snotty. Once Aguilera realizes she wants kids - when she's over 35 and her clock is ticking - she won't be able to get pregnant because she couldn't be bothered when she was fertile.

Here she is leaving her New York City hotel on 6/22 [via] and outside of MTV's Total Request Live on 6/21.

High Res photos of Mena Suvari pumping gas


Mena Suvari is content to wear the really tight pants in her relationship and is pumping gas while her younger boyfriend, breakdancer Mike Carrasco, looks on. Carrasco hails from Las Vegas, is four years younger than Suvari, 27, and met her in February of this year. Suvari is divorcing German cinematographer Robert Brinkman, 44, after six years of marriage.

How would you like to pet those puppies?


I usually ignore this chick Jodie Marsh, because she's just some British slut who is only famous because she wears outfits like these. I always confuse her with Jordan, but she's two steps down from Jordan. It's hard to pass up these photos, though. She would look over the top at a porn convention, but she was attending the charity premiere of "Just My Luck" in London in this getup.

Marsh is also shown with the band McFly, which has a single out joking about Lohan's affair McFly's drummer Harry Judd, making it rather funny that they're at the opening of Lohan's crappy movie. Lohan says she never got with Judd, but Judd says she must have a short memory.

I showed these pictures to my dad. (I'm visiting my family in the states.) He thinks she's desperate and said "how would you like to pet those puppies?"

Teri Hatcher in a bikini


Sorry for all the semi-nude female celebrities today. I'm in a hurry and am filling up on pictures rather than leave you with fewer posts brimming with my bad insight.

Teri Hatcher doesn't have delusions of grandeur like Eva Longwhoria. She says that "Desperate Housewives" is her "dream job" and that she isn't trying to make the move to the big screen:

Teri Hatcher has laughed off reports she is planning to ditch Desperate Housewives to pursue a career in movies because she insists the hit series is her 'dream job.' The TV beauty was thrilled to have been offered the part of Susan Mayer on the primetime soap.

She says, "Apparently there was a rumor going around about me wanting to leave 'Desperate Housewives' to do movies. It's not true. I had to laugh because 'Desperate Housewives' is my dream job. I couldn't have a better-suited role for me to play.

"I work with people I like and respect. I have a seven-minute commute. I have plenty of time to spend with my daughter. And it's as steady a job as Hollywood can offer. Why would I mess with any of that?"

It's pretty smart of her to realize where her bread and butter come from.

She looks like she ditching the anorexic look that is so last season and has gained a few essential pounds. It's hip to be fat now, and stars like Victoria Beckham are in denial.

About Kevin's "Last Chance"


Yesterday I mentioned the US Weekly article about Britney's consultation with her christian life coach, and how she has taken Kevin back. The article makes it seem as if it's this glorious reunion and that everything will be fine in their troubled relationship after the vacation photo op they took. This is in complete contrast to other reports we read that had Britney and Kevin sleeping in separate hotel rooms and avoiding each other on that same trip.

The the roller-coaster ride that has characterized Spears' turbulent 21-month marriage, the Federlines are - for now - attempting to stay together. "Things are good, and they are trying again," says a close family source. "It is always up and down, but they are happy to be in an up moment." Indeed, though the trip was originally intended as a promotional jaunt for aspiring rapper Federline, a source tells Us the six-months-pregnant pop star joined her husband at the last minute. "She has decided to start supporting him," explains the source. "They are giving things another shot."

According to the source, the fresh start stems from a four-hour conversation encouraged by Spears' newly aquired Christian life coach, which took place shortly before the Lauer interview (taped June 9.) One hot topic: the sharing and selling of personal details about the couple to tabloid reporters by Federline's intimates. "Kevin acknowledged that he blabbed info to his friends, claiming it was harmless and he had no idea they would talk," says the source. "He promised never to do it again."

(From US Weekly's print version)

Kevin also promised to spend four to five hours each day with Sean Preston to give Britney a break. Now that Perry's gone he better take up some of the slack.

This glowing report of their renewed love must be one Kevin's peeps giving good news to the rags for once after Britney told Kevin to stop feeding his friends stories to sell to the press. There's no way everything is fine in their relationship or that their misguided love with conquer all.

Britney may dress trashy, but she lives in more style then the majority of the planet will experience in its lifetime. It's kind of incongruous to see Britney in a tie-dye and Kevin in camo pants in a private jet, and it reminds us how privileged these people are, and why we make fun of them in the first place. These pictures are from Breatheheavy.com, and are said to be "stolen from Britney's private album" by Us Weekly.

Barbara Walters says bu-bye to Star Jones

You probably heard about Barbara Walters saying that Star made a surprise announcement that she was leaving "The View," and that she trumped her opportunity to do it "with dignity". She knew that she was leaving "for months" and just decided to blurt it out on the show and piss everyone off. Well now Star's not coming back, and the old ladies who live in Florida and make up the bulk of "The Views" audience will rejoice, along with all the rest of us who never watch that piece of crap show but still make fun of it.

Here's Barbara dissing Star:

And contrary to previous reports, Star has nothing lined up for her next gig at all. Maybe she'll go back to being a lawyer. Or she can go for the quick cash and become a spokesperson for the latest junky exercise equipment they're touting on late night infomercials.

Pamela Anderson nude in a shop window (no nips, so it's SFW)


Pamela Anderson is on an European tour to raise money and awareness for animal rights and AIDS. She appeared at Stella McCartney's boutique in London yesterday to speak out for PETA against fur. Anderson held a party and awards show for celebrities who have worked with PETA. Gillian Anderson and Sadie Frost, Jude Law's ex, were in attendance. She promised that if she raised enough money for PETA she would strip naked in the shop window, and she didn't dissapoint - except for the thong.

At the event Pammy said: "My message would be to please start using fake fur. It's terrible because people see stars like J.Lo and Beyonce wearing fur and they don't think about the cruelty that goes into it.

"I'm here to hopefully raise a lot of money and if we raise enough I'll strip naked in the shop window.

Frost added: "I've always been an animal lover. People should be made aware of all the issues. Some people think that the whole wearing fur thing is glamorous but you can look good without it. Hopefully people will stop wearing it.”

Redknapp also showed her support for PETA saying: "It's something I feel very strongly about. If you can put a fur jacket on you should be able to watch the animal being slaughtered so I'm really behind Peta's work.”

I do eat meat but I feel the same way about fur. I would like to talk smack to people wearing fur, but the only people I see wearing it are really old ladies who don't seem to know better.

Along with Beyonce and J.Lo, another "celebrity" who wears fur with false pride is Sharon Stone. PETA would attack her, but she's such a has-been that she's under their radar.

Here is Anderson in the shop window of Stella McCartney's London boutique on 6/28 [via] and in Greece for MAC's AIDS fund on 6/26. [via]

What's wrong with Anderson's left arm? She has red marks on it that don't look healthy. Is that related to hepatitis or just a weird bruise?

The poster of these pictures from Greece at Saving Face, dexterangelo7, notes that they're an "amazing comparison of airbrushed vs. real life pam."

Paris Hilton prank calls one of her dad's employees


Paris Hilton went along with a dumb radio prank iniated by some British DJs. They called up a Glasgow Hilton and had her ask for a family discount:

Asking if she could have a discount on her room rate, The Simple Life star was told by the reservations clerk he'd given her the best rate available.

The prank was aired on the Real Radio Breakfast Show this morning.

During the call, Paris was asked by reservations clerk Kevin whether she had a corporate rate at the hotel.

She was offered a standard queen room for £170 but asked if she could have a discount.

The sexy star was told by the employee: "There is no discount I can initiate, I’m afraid."

When she said: "Yes you can", he replied: "That is the cheapest rate I have available to me."

Paris then informed the clerk that she will get her manager to call back.

That's stupid, but it isn't as rude as some of the other crap that radio DJs pull on air. It seems rather harmless.

It does bring up the mind-boggling issue of celebrities thinking they can get stuff heavily discounted and for free. Since when did making lots of money just for showing up entitle celebrities to get things free too? Of course they are great billboards, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have to pay for stuff like the rest of us.

Here is Paris arriving at Radio One for her interview on 6/26. When are those terrible bug-eyed sunglasses going to out of fashion? [

Brad and Angelina fighting over alone time and Brad's smoking


The lead story in The National Enquirer has Brad and Angelina fighting over the fact that Brad doesn't get any alone time with the gorgeous mother of new baby and two adopted kids. Brad supposedly wanted to have a private lunch with Angelina, but she deferred in favor of watching the kids. She certainly has enough kids to take care of:

Brad Pitt stormed out on ANgelina Jolie - after tensions over their new baby exploded into a furious confrontation, say sources. Angelina broke down in tears, and insiders fear that adjusting to life with an infant is wrecking their relationship and will ultimately drive them apart.

Hands-on mom Angelina is completely consumed with baby Shiloh Nouvel and her two other young children, and that has changed the nature of her day-to-day relationship with Brad.

Tension between the new parents exploded recently over frustration about not being able to spend time alone.

Brad was hoping for a romantic lunch with Angelina but their schedules didn't allow it and the situation quickly turned into a fight.

"Even though they have nannies, Angelina is focused full time on the kids," said a source. "If one of them cries at 3 a.m., she's by their side. Angie is operating on very minimal sleep and it's magnified by the couple's issues.

Lack of alone time has caused the couple to fight bitterly and when Brad realized he couldn't have Angelina to himself he blew up.

"He ralied at Angelina, but she was busy tending to Shiloh.

"Brad stormed out - going on a long motorcycle trip for the rest of the day to blow off steam. And Angelina collapsed in tears.

"She's been dealing with so much - the new baby, a sick mother, a relocation to Malibu - that she just lost it."

(From The National Enquirer print version.)

The article then rehashes Angelina's fight with Brad when he went out in London one night when she was sick. A "family friend" also claims that Angelina is having trouble breastfeeding little Shiloh, and that she feels guilty that she may have to supplement with formula. She is also said to feel guilt over the fact that she wasn't able to have a natural birth.

Plus Brad is still smoking, and Angelina may be "fed up" with his nasty habit.

This all sounds like normal stuff that happens with a growing family, and The Enquirer seems to be making more out of it than warranted.

Who knows how bad their fight was? Maybe Brad just wanted to get out of the house and didn't storm out after all.

He did go out on his bike, though, because there were pictures all over the place. It's easy enough to draw conclusions based on that.

They were said to be having trouble back in Paris in the loud and dirty neighborhood they rented an apartment in, and Brad was supposedly sleeping on the couch because pregnant Angelina needed the space in bed to herself.

If all of this is true, it seems pretty normal considering all the stress they must be under with the new baby and the move. Even with a lot of help, it's still a lot of work.

Charlize Theron: Secretly Married?!


Charlize Theron wore what looked like an engagement and a wedding ring on her left hand to the grand opening of club Social Hollywood last night, June 27. She was accompanied by her boyfriend, Irish actor Stuart Townsend. We spotted an engagement ring on Theron's left hand in late April when she was photographed attending a basketball game with Townsend. There was a rumor shortly afterward that they were planning a secret wedding in Savannah, GA, but nothing seems to have come of that.

There's no ring on Townsend's left hand, but this still looks suspicious. Whatever the story, Theron is trying to tell us something. Celebrities don't just wear rings on their left ring finger to openings without having an ulterior motive.

This is kind of an exclusive, because as far as we know we're the first blog to cry wolf about Theron's rings.

Nicole did not have a miscarriage right before the wedding


I bought The National Enquirer partially due to the headline "Nicole's Miscarriage Secret: The heartbreak behind her wedding." The headline makes it seem as if Nicole was pregnant, as everyone has been speculating, but lost the baby right before her wedding to Keith Urban - just like Brenda on "Six Feet Under." This wasn't the case at all.

All the Enquirer did was recycle the old story of Nicole's miscarriages during her marriage to half-pint Tom Cruise and present it as some big exclusive that caused her pain during her nuptuals. This is a cheap trick to sell papers, and it worked:

A heartbreaking miscarriage secret tormented Nicole Kidman even as she immersed herself in the joy of her wedding to Keith Urban, the Enquirer has learned exclusively.

The Oscar-winning actress is now terrified that she won't be able to bear a child for new husband Keith, say sources.

"Nicole must be haunted by the miscarriage she suffered after first husband Tom Cruise walked out on her," a source revealed.

"She also apparently suffered an ectopic pregnancy in the past and has dealt with a series of medical issues.

I think losing two pregnancies weighs heavily on Nicole's mind. And now that she's almost 40, her chances of carrying a child to term are less then they were when she was younger."

(From The National Enquirer print version)

How is that news? We already knew Nicole had a miscarriage, and someone speculating that it bothers her does not make the story an exclusive. It's also deceptive of the Enquirer to market it this way.

It may be a new revelation that Nicole had a second miscarriage, though. The "insider" says she had the ectopic pregnancy right before she married Tom in 1990.

That's sad for Nicole, but it's ancient history. Nicole is supposedly worried if she can carry a baby now, but who knows if that's true. She may or may not be pregnant, and we'll just have to wait it out and see.

The Enquirer did have one redeeming feature in the deceptive article - an inset featuring Nicole's men throughout the years. Did you know she dated rapper Q-tip? I didn't.

Here is a picture of the article as well as some high res pictures of Nicole and Keith in the lobby of their hotel the day after their wedding. They are carrying a present for Keith's father, as it was his birthday. The happy couple is now honeymooning in Tahiti. [via]

What's going on with Jen and Vince? Tabloid roundup.


This week's National Enquirer has Jen and Vince "on the rocks" and fighting over the fake engagement ring Jen wore to the London premiere of "The Break Up." She had it on her left hand, and gushed about the ring's details to the press. Vince got pissed off and Jen put the ring on her right hand to appease him. Jen and Vince stayed away from each other all night, and a source says they were both in a bad mood and looked sad. We've heard this story before.

The couple arrived separately... for the premiere on June 14.

When British journalist Leigh Purves asked Vince if he and Jennifer planned to marry, he barked: "Talk to our people."

Said Purved: "I'd noticed Jennifer was wearing a ring on her wedding finder. I asked her about it and, looking very coy, she told me: 'It's a 9.5-carat canary diamond ring by Suzy Fabricant. Nice, isn't it?'

"I told her it was gorgeous, but before Jennifer could say anymore I noticed Vince moving in with a face like thunder."

Witnesses say Vince, 36, took 37 year-old Jennifer by the arm and marched her off into a corner.

"Vince gave Jennifer a real tongue-lashing. I overheard him using the words 'cheap' and trick,'" a source told the Enquirer. "Vince was talking in loud whispers. He kept repearing , 'Don't, Don't.'

"Jennifer looked hurt. She pulled the ring off and slipped it on her right hand."

(From The National Enquirer print version.)

At the premiere after party, they sat separately and left separately. They even had different suites in their hotel. From her quotes, she doesn't sound happy about their relationship:

"I want to be loved, happy and not settle for less than we all deserve. But a relationship by itself is not going to make me survive. It's the cherry on top."

It sounds like she doesn't care if the cherry is there or not, and as if she's trying to justify their stormy relationship.

US Weekly claims to have "The Truth about Jen & Vince" and refutes the rumors that she's engaged and/or pregnant while making it seem like their relationship is fine. They use the one picture of them having dinner together in France and say that she's moving to Chicago as proof of their solid relationship. They quote a source saying "Both of them are so happy, They are an amazing couple."

We doubt that everything is fine, because neither of them seems happy or is willing to admit much about the other to the press. They've been together for two years. Isn't that long enough to go public with their relationship?

Here are pictures we took of the stories in question. Hopefully they're legible. There are also two pictures of Jen leaving "The Break Up" after party in London on 6/14. [via]

Cameron Diaz nipple slip (NSFW)


Cameron Diaz didn't really slip a nip - she removed her top entirely, most likely with the full knowledge that the paparrazi were nearby to photograph it all. She is seen frolicking with Drew Barrymore on the beach at Harbour Island in the Bahamas. The National Enquirer has more photographs of Cameron and Drew and six of their girlfriends on the beach. Those pictures are probably from a different day, as Drew is wearing a black bathing suit, and she's seen with a blue top and striped bottoms in the nipple slip pictures. [via]

Are Cameron and Justin over? Sources say he's been dating Lauren Popeil, the daughter of head Ronco honcho and spray-on-hair inventor Ron Popeil. Cameron and Justin were photographed at the airport together leaving for London on June 25th, but they stood far apart. That may not mean much, because who is thrilled to be at the airport? (Although I would be a lot happier about it if I was getting on a private jet.)

Lainey's Gossip comments on the photos, after saying in an earlier post that they were really over, and that Cameron was getting to "clingy" for Justin:

'I did speak to one lone smuthound who thinks there may be a chance for reconciliation, especially since Justin has become painfully insecure. The pressure of a new record, the failure of his film endeavours, few people have been as confident in his abilities as his hermaphrodite. And sometimes, in a moment of weakness, we all go running to the things that give us comfort, non?'

Here are JT and his clingy Cam on their way to London for his new video shoot, a song called Sexyback.

Maybe Cameron gave Justin a little time off while she partied with a bunch of her friends in the Caribbean, and that was enough for him.

Britney on the cover of Harper's Bazaar


Britney was set to do a pregnant semi-nude Harper's Bazaar spread just like Demi Moore, but she pulled it. Someone sent the airbrushed pictures to BritneySpy.com, and now they're all over. Why did Britney pull the pictures? She probably was advised against it by her "christian life coach," who is also said to be behind Britney and Kevin's recent reconciliation.

Now that I'm in the states I have the mixed blessing of being able to read the tabloids, and will report on Us Weekly's glowing coverage of Kevin and Britney's reunion shortly.

In the mean time, here are Britney's Harper's Bazaar photos. They're trashy, but that's just how she comes off anyway. Add a shag rug and pose her nude and you just magnify that quality. Also, Sean Preston is cute and all, but doesn't he have any other expression? He always seems to look the same. Maybe that's how he copes.

Thanks to Just Jared for these photos.

Pictures of Brad Pitt's Hollywood Home


Brad Pitt's reveals that he's an adoring father in an upcoming Newsweek interview. He also makes it clear that he and Angelina plan to adopt again:

Brad Pitt says fatherhood is "absolutely sublime". The actor, whose baby daughter with Angelina Jolie is a month old, has also co-adopted her first two children, Cambodian Maddox and little Zahara, from Ethiopia.

He told Newsweek magazine being a father had made him more of an activist on issues such as child poverty.

"Whether you have them or adopt them, they're all blood," Pitt said of his brood. "And the funniest people I've ever met."

The 42-year-old added: "I look at Zahara and imagine what her life could have been.

"You want to grab as many of these kids in your arms as you can.
"They need our help, and we should be doing more."

He sounds a lot like Angelina, and he should credit her with his activism, but at least she was a good influence on him. He would be probably be bitching about the rabbits in his front yard if he was still with Aniston.

Here are pictures of Pitt's lovely modernist home from the July, 2006 issue of Elle Decoration courtesy of Just Jared. His interest in saving the world may be due to Angelina, but his love of architecture is entirely his own, and the man has excellent taste.

Star Jones says she was fired from "The View"


In news that's not surprising to anyone, Star Jones Reynolds tells People magazine that her contract was not renewed for her tenth season on the annoying women's talkshow, "The View," and that she she "feels" like she was fired. If they didn't renew your contract, you were fired, Star.

She announced this morning on the show that she will be leaving at the end of the season. Oh boo hoo:

"Something's been on my heart for a little bit, and after much prayer and counsel I feel like this is the right time to tell you that the show is moving in another direction for its tenth season and I will not be returning as cohost next year," she said on the air.

"That's shocking to me," interrupted Joy Behar, prompting Jones Reynolds to link hands with her cohosts.

Thanking the show's creator, Barbara Walters, "for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime," Jones Reynolds concluded by saying, "I'm not sure what the future holds, but I'm absolutely sure who holds the future."

After some discussion, Walters said, "It is a new chapter for Star. It will be a new chapter for The View in the fall."

So why is Jones Reynolds leaving? Contrary to speculation that she's unhappy about the upcoming addition of Rosie O'Donnell – one of her most vocal critics – to the show this fall, she reveals exclusively in this week's PEOPLE magazine that the departure was not her choice.

"What you don't know is that my contract was not renewed for the tenth season," she tells PEOPLE. "I feel like I was fired." She adds that she was told her contract wouldn't be renewed just days before news leaked that O'Donnell would be joining The View.

People promises to have more on the story, including Star dishing on Rosie O'Donnel's "hurtful" comments about her. O'Donnel said it was strange that Star would admit to breast lift surgery, but not own up to gastric bypass surgery that is largely rumored to have been the cause of her massive weight loss. She has also brought attention to the elephant in the room - Jones' husband Al, who always played for the other team before he hooked up with the then-huge talk show host.

Rosie O'Donnel was handpicked by Barbara Walters for a cohost gig in what was interpreted as a bid to force Jones out. Unfortunately, Jones is said to have "signed a lucrative deal with another television outlet." Who would be dumb enough to hire her?

Does anyone watch this piece of crap "The View" anymore? I have seen clips online that are so annoying I can barely sit through a couple of minutes, not to mention a whole hour. I asked my mother if anyone she knew watches it, and she knows of two people. Her 67 year-old friend who holidays in Boca watches it, but she has a high tolerance for talk shows. The other woman is over 80, also lives in Florida, and only has basic cable.

Here's a clip of Sandra Bernhardt and her nastiness vs. Star Jones and her nastiness. That little stupid conservative chick from Survivor tries to get in an ill-informed political argument with Bernhardt, and Star tries to cut to commercial. People said it was a "catfight," but it was more like an annoying argument.

Here's Star Jones and her husband, Al, at The Apollo Theatre 2006 Spring Gala on 6/19.

Recent candids of Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, and baby Kingston


You may have seen these pictures already, but they're just so cute we couldn't resist publishing them. Here are Gwen Stefan and her husband Gavin Rossdale out with their newborn, Kingston. Stefani and Kingston are seen watching Rossdale play tennis on 6/17 and out walking on 6/24.

Gwen Stefani is going to star in a remake of Tennessee Williams' "Baby Doll," which was originally released as a film in 1956:

If you believe what you read, new mom Gwen Stefani is planning to star in another movie, and she may play the lead role in Tennessee Williams 'Baby Doll', according to a published report.

According to Moviehole.net, the movie is about a beautiful young woman who promises her husband, who is an unsuccessful businessman, that their marriage will be consummated a year after their wedding.

The woman's husband, who wants badly to make love to her and launch his business into success, decides to set his enemy's plant on fire.

After his enemy's plant is nothing but ashes leftover from the blazing fire, the enemy has no choice but to use the gorgeous woman's husband's plant for cotton production, but things begin to go all wrong once he's introduced to 'Baby Doll'.

Stefani seems like a good choice to play a vampy retro character, and it's sure to be a juicy role.

Here is the cute family on 6/17 and 6/24.

Are Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. having trouble?


People are saying that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze are living apart and may be ready to divorce. Gellar is currently working on the film "The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing" while Prinze is starring in an ABC series, "Freddie." Prinze's TV work is said to be tearing the couple apart:

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have hit back at reports that Prinze's new TV show "Freddie" is coming between the couple.

The pair have been besieged by reports the show in "tearing them apart" and are on the verge of splitting since Prinze signed up to his new sitcom last year.

A source told the New York Daily News that, "Ever since he started that show Freddie things were over."

It has also been widely reported that they have been living apart in recent weeks.

The couple's representative, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, has vehemently denied the rumors, insisting the couple is still, "completely together."

Zelnick also added that they'll be spending the weekend together at Zelnick's house in Connecticut.

It's rather suspect that their publicist is saying they're coming over to her house at the weekend. That seems like an afterthought, and something she may have come up with while on the phone with the Daily News.

It's unknown whether they're actually having trouble, but Gellar is on baby watch since Cannes. We thought she looked pregnant at the film festival, as she was wearing ill-fitting gowns and held her hand over her stomach on the red carpet.

Reader Millie e-mailed me to say that she's still wearing loose tops on the set of her new film, and that she does look pregnant. Loose outfits are the style now, though, and it may not mean anything. Take a look at these pictures from "A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing" and see for yourself. [via]

Prinze, 30, and Gellar, 29, have been married since 2002. We'll have to wait and see if their marriage is in trouble and/or if they're having a baby.

Why isn't Sean Preston in his baby seat, 'yall?


X17 loves to point out Britney's foibles, and their latest blog post tries to rile everyone up with a picture of Britney in the back of her Escalade holding Sean Preston. We don't see the car taking off with Sean Preston in Britney's lap, but it's implied.

Britney probably does all sorts of things that put her baby in danger, and maybe she's only caught a fraction of the time. Now that she's got a bad record, though, people are blaming her for things she hasn't even done. What do you think?

Here's what x17 wrote:

We admit that it’s quite possible that Britney slipped Sean Preston into a car seat when our cameras found her at Nobu yesterday, but given her track record and pictures like the one above, how exactly would you interpret things?...

Like we said, we may not have seen everything – but this is what we saw. What do you see here?

Commentors are pretty annoyed that X17 doesn't bother to show Britney put Sean in his carseat, but did she do it? You can see the seat in the back.

Here are some more pictures from the series. You can see clearer unwatermarked versions in our image gallery from yesterday.

Snakes on a Plane official trailer


Yahoo! has the official Snakes on a Plane trailer in Quicktime and Windows Media format.

Here's a slightly different version of the trailer that someone recorded in the movie theatre

"Snakes on a Plane" (warning: site has music) asks the question "What if you were trapped on a 747 full of deadly snakes?" and stars Samuel L. Jackson. It opens August 18th.

This movie looks awesome, and I've been completely influenced by all the buzz. Try to market something to me, and I won't listen, but get all the blogs to carry it and I'm sold. "Snakes on a Plane" has taken advantage of all the Internet hype, and even offers a "Snakes" theme for your MySpace.

Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams at Lunch


Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams were snapped at "Bubby's" restaurant in Tribeca last week. Ledger said he wanted some time off from filming to be a stay at home dad to eight month-old Matilda. It looks like he has been enjoying his role by not bothering to shave or bathe.

Ledger and Williams are scheduled to begin working on the weird "I'm Not There" Bob Dylan biopic this summer. The film will feature different actors and actresses playing the singer throughout his life. Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Julianne Moore and Richard Gere will join them in the film.

Reader Phyllis of HeathHeathens.com was not happy with our characterization of Ledger as a crybaby after his father revealed that he hightailed it out of Australia when the paparrazi squirted him with water on the red carpet. Ledger was composed at the time, but was said to have broken down and cried afterwards and asked his father to sell his Australian home. It turns out that Ledger was harassed by the paparrazi beyond what is allowable in the states, and that photographers delighted in tormenting him. People were camped out in his backyard and held a press conference on his front lawn. Phyllis says that Ledger probably never spat at the paparrazi as reported, and that he moved out of Australia after months of enduring constant monitoring. She says that "Heath is a very gentle and private person. He doesn't have an ego."

Heath always came off as aloof and cool to me, but maybe that's a defense mechanism. I finally saw "Brokeback Mountain" and have to say that he's a superb actor, and that it was one of the best films I've ever seen. Like Heath, I cried like a baby at the end.

Here are Heath and Michelle looking cute and cuddly at lunch. [via]

Britney to sue 8 tabloids from offshore for maximum results


Britney is planning to sue 8 different tabloids for reporting that her marriage is in trouble, but she's not going to do it from the states, where celebrities are considered public personalities and are fair game by law - she's filed suit in Ireland, where her chances of winning are much higher:

BELFAST is looking to challenge London as the libel capital of the world as some of America’s biggest stars, including the singers Britney Spears and Whitney Houston, prepare to sue through its courts.

Spears is to sue the National Enquirer, based in Florida, for reports that her marriage to Kevin Federline was at an end. She is also suing seven other US and British publications that repeated the claims.

Foreign claimants have long been attracted to London because of the strict libel laws, but Belfast offers the prospect of high payouts, faster justice and lower costs.

Paul Tweed, senior partner at Johnson’s solicitors, who has been instructed by Spears, said he was also being consulted by Houston, Paula Abdul, the singer, and Steve Bing, film producer and father of Liz Hurley’s son Damian...

One law firm, which represents American celebrities suing in London, said: “They come to the UK because it is a good place to sue. In the US there is a public figure defence which means that if you have celebrity status you can’t sue anybody in America unless you can show that they acted from malice.”

Paul Tweed, senior partner at Johnson’s solicitors, who has been instructed by Spears, said he was also being consulted by Houston, Paula Abdul, the singer, and Steve Bing, film producer and father of Liz Hurley’s son Damian.

Belfast has similar libel laws to England, but waiting lists are shorter and the costs can be 75% lower. Many cases go to juries, which make higher awards. In one Belfast case Barney Eastwood, the boxing promoter, received an award of £450,000, the highest in Irish legal history.

If an American publication does not have assets in Britain, Tweed sues distributors and website hosts. He is currently taking action against Yahoo!

It doesn't seem fair that celebrities can just file suit from England or Ireland in order to get around US libel laws, but major corporations avoid paying taxes by incorporating overseas. Exploiting tax and legal loopholes is just one of the ways that people hold onto their undeserved millions.

Here is Britney with Sean Preston and her mom and sister outside of Nobu. K-Fed was there, too, but is not pictured. There was supposedly a paparrazi fight as photographers jockied for pictures of the pregnant star. TMZ has a video of it, with people saying "back off" and swearing, but it doesn't seem as exciting as they make it out to be. We were hoping for some punches and hair-pulling.

Beyonce and Jay-z performing at Radio City Music Hall


Jay-Z performed his whole first album, "Reasonable Doubt," at Radio City Music Hall last night to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its release. Other artists joining him on stage included Sauce Money, Foxy Brown and Memphis Bleek. The Roots' Amir Questlove, The Illadelphonics, and The Hustler's Symphony Orchestra made up his band.

Jay-Z's girlfriend, Beyonce, joined him for the last song, "Can't Knock The Hustle," which was originally a duet with Mary J. Blige.

Jay-Z announced his international tour, which will kick off this fall. He also hasn't ruled out another album after declaring his retirement in 2003:

In an interview with The Associated Press on Friday between rehearsals for Sunday night's commemorative show, Jay-Z announced that he would be going on tour this fall in a jaunt around the globe — Seoul, Beirut, Dubai, Johannesburg and Sydney, to name a few stops.

"There's a lot of places I haven't been," explained Jay-Z. "They've heard my music but they've never really seen me perform live. ... This really makes me wanna go out and perform. I'm looking forward to going overseas."

While fans stateside won't likely see another Jay-Z performance for a while, they may get a chance to her some new music in the future. Though Jay-Z vowed 2003's "The Black Album" would be his goodbye to the recorded rap game, his recent concert appearances (he staged a major show last year and has made cameos with performers like The Roots) and his guest appearances on tracks like girlfriend Beyonce's new song have industry insiders rumbling that a new Hova album may be on the horizon.

Jay-Z does have a new album coming out. Starch blabbed that he's working with Jigga on a new release:

Jay-Z is reportedly recording a new album with a host of his high profile Hip Hop friends.

According to the Rolling Stone the rap legend has returned to the studio even though he announced his retirement three years ago.

The new album will feature appearances from Kanye West, Scott Starch and Dr Dre who’ve all been recording tracks with him.

Starch said of the new material: “I’m working with Jay-Z on his new album. (It’s) the first time we ever really worked together. We got some fire.”

It looks like Jay-Z is recording an album after all. It also seems like he's still going strong with Beyonce despite the breakup rumors. They had a public fight at a basketball game as reported by Page Six and Beyonce was said to be jealous of Jay-Z's relationship with singer Rhianna. A story last week had the two breaking up due to hectic schedules and Jay-Z's inability to commit.

Brangelina baby shower photos were stolen - here come the lawyers


Predictably enough, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's legal team have sent out notices to several blogs to pull the baby shower pictures that capture their clients in private moments. The digital card with the photos was stolen, they say. They never sent notice to us, but TMZ is a higher-profile site and was threatened with a lawsuit:

We understand that the person who stole the Stolen Photos, or an accomplice, has been offering them for sale to the various media outlets and celebrity content websites, and may have offered the Stolen Photos to you.

This letter is to provide you with notice that the Stolen Photos are copyright protected, to which my clients own right and title thereto. Any unauthorized publication, reproduction or dissemination of the Stolen Photos constitutes an infringement of my clients' copyrights in violation of the U.S. Copyright Act, Title 17 of the United States Code Section 101, et seq., and exposes you, and anyone else acting in concert with you, to civil liability, damages, injunctive relief and reimbursement of all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by my clients in connection with any copyright infringement action. Furthermore, if any monies are paid for the purchase of the Stolen Photos, you will be engaged in the purchase of stolen property.

In addition, under the circumstances that the Stolen Photos were taken, namely, at private and personal events on private property, my clients had a reasonable expectation of enjoying total privacy. The publication of the photos would therefore constitute a unlawful invasion and violation of my clients' right of privacy and would also be an unauthorized commercial appropriation of their names, likenesses and personas.

Anyone who publishes, disseminates, displays or otherwise exploits the Stolen Photos will be liable for substantial compensatory damages, punitive damages, and injunctive relief. If you publish or disseminate and of the Stolen Photos, our clients will take further legal action to protect their rights, including by the filing of a lawsuit seeking compensatory and punitive damages, statutory damages for copyright violations, and attorneys' fees.

We'll take 'em down shortly, but as much as people like Angelina and Brad - they're too heavy handed with legal and security tactics. This is the cost of fame. If you don't like it, then don't try to fight it with all your might and just stop making movies. You could be gracious about it and play it up for what it's worth, but no, you have to fight every picture tooth and nail.

I understand not wanting someone to publish all 450 pictures, but making a huge fuss and threatening bloggers for publishing three of the pictures is ridiculous.

It's like the music industry acting all indignant that people are copying digital music. It's the nature of the medium, and that's how these things work. Digital files spread - get over it, and use it to your advantage.

Angelina decided to close down an entire country to give birth. What gives her that right? Namibia's National Society for Human Rights claims that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are acting like "Colonial Overlords" and that they have no right to use an entire government to shield themselves from the paparrazi. The NSHR said "To shut down a national border so she can give birth in peace is a massive abuse of power."

To shut down a bunch of websites so people can't see your cute baby shower pictures is also a massive abuse of power. It's not on the same scale, but they're abusive. Fans made them popular and fans pay for their luxurious lifestyle. Just because they do some charity work doesn't mean that they don't have to play the game.

Selma Blair and P. Diddy at the beach


Selma Blair just announced that she's divorcing her husband of two years, Ahmet Zappa. Yesterday she was photographed at a beach in Malibu with P. Diddy, so it looks like she's moving on in style. She could do worse than to hook up with the hip-hop mogul. Hopefully she gets a Brazilian once a week, because Diddy doesn't like his ladies hairy.

Diddy is working on another reality show after the failure of his "Cooking with Celebrities" series. He will be coaching young women he's picked for an all-girl band in latest season of "Making the Band."

Here are the pictures of the two together. Thanks toI'm not obsessed for pointing this out. Pictures from Hollywood's Best.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" Premiere with Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp


Pirates of the Caribbean 2 premiered at Disneyland in Anaheim, California on June 24th. The film draws inspiration from the ride of the same name at the Disney theme parks. Pissed off fans and press waited nearly 6 hours at Disneyland for a chance to see the stars, who were gone all too quickly:

There was a pre-party with grog and grub at the Blue Bayou and Café Orleans for the premiere guests. They could also ride the new Pirates ride that features characters from the film: Jack Sparrow, his nemesis Captain Barbossa, and the squid-faced Davy Jones and then fill three huge red, yellow and green bleachers to view the film scheduled to be shown on an outdoor screen at around 9 p.m.

But by 7:30, the fans out on the carpet were getting hungry and hoarse, children began whimpering and even the seasoned press was turning surly.

“We’ve been standing here 5 hours and we’ve not seen a single lead actor from the film,” groused a KTLA reporter. “This is insane. Why would they make us stand out here this long?” Even a befuddled German reporter asked, “Is this normal?..."

At 8:15 p.m., frenzied screaming came from the carpet entrance. Down the line, cameramen on step ladders reported seeing Depp, Knightley and Bloom’s heads. The actors are posing for photos, zig-zagging down the carpet, talking to TV crews, then running over to shake hands and sign autographs for fans. That’s why it’s taking so long.

But it's getting late, almost 9 p.m., and the very real fear is that the film's stars will be yanked away by publicists and taken into the party so the film can begin...

Desperate reporters, sensing doom, start to break ranks. Mutinuous USA Today, People and Us Weekly scribes climb over the metal bars and run down the carpet to try to talk to Depp, who is surrounded by Disney pubs, his personal pub, Robin Baum, and roughly two dozen black-suited security guards, wearing headsets.

”If you have movie tickets, go in and take your seats,” warns a stern guard. We’re taking him in. The movie has to start!”

The carpet has become a mob scene. Guards are getting nervous. Reporters are pleading with publicists. Cameras keep flashing. Fans are screaming, "Joooohnnnyyy!" Suddenly the situation implodes as the guards surround Depp and rush their celebrity charge down the carpet.

Reporters and cameramen have to run ahead of the Depp Delta Force, as if trying to outrun a molten lava flow. “Keep moving! Keep moving! Keep moving!,” the guards shout.

Just a few frenzied minutes later and it’s all over. Depp is gone. After waiting for six hours, disgruntled reporters pack up and leave. And countless disappointed fans only got a split-second glimpse of Depp’s fedora.

That's annoying that people were made to wait so long. Disneyland didn't plan it correctly and should not have told people to show up so early.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" opens on July 7th.

Here are pictures from the premiere of Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp, and Orlando Bloom. I really like Keira's dress and think it's a good choice for the premiere of this semi-spooky film. Also shown are Christina Applegate, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Stacy Keibler, Daisy Fuentes and the Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger. [via]

Anne Hathaway was sexually harassed by Stanley Tucci


A lot of the crap that happens on movie sets would be a fireable, sueable offense in any office anywhere. Celebrities tell stories about their co-stars messing around and sexually harassing them during filming, and although they try to play it off, they're saying these things because they want people to know what they went through.

Case in point: Anne Hathaway. She was totally harassed by Stanley Tucci on the set of "The Devil Wears Prada." She says Tucci elbowed her in the chest repeatedly and she had to tell him to stop. The asshole didn't just do it once, he did it again and again and it was painful and probably embarassing to her:

Actress Anne Hathaway says her co-star Stanley Tucci is obsessed with her breasts.

The 'Devil Wears Prada' actress revealed her cheeky colleague would repeatedly elbow her in the chest to demonstrate his fondness of her assets.

She said: "He would just smack me in my boob and elbow me.

"It really hurt, so, after about the fourth time, I finally said, 'Stanley, can you please stay away from my t**s?'"

However, the curvaceous brunette insists Tucci wasn't deterred by her request.

She added: "He got really flustered and said, 'What do you expect? You're flinging those melons around like its harvest season'."

What an asshole! I would kill the guy - after I sued him for sexual harassment. I'm serious, there's no way I would tolerate being treated like that by a coworker.

There shouldn't be different rules for performers and office workers - when you're on the job, you're not supposed to grab people. Tucci should know better.

Sure some of the sexual harassment guidelines are a bit strict, and some people like to talk smack, but sexual jokes and comments - if they're not directed at someone or threatening - are much different than elbowing someone in the chest and telling them they're "flinging their melons" around.

Stanley Tucci does not have a fabulous career, and he does not deserve one if this is how he treats women.

Another actor who probably deserves his career slump is Ben Affleck. Director Kevin Smith said Affleck engaged in the bizarre practice of sneaking up behind him while he was sitting and putting his balls on Smith's bare neck while they were working. Christina Applegate also said that Ben put his "junk" on a suitcase during filming for "Surviving Christmas." Maybe now that he's a father he'll keep his "junk" in his pants where it belongs.

Here is Hathaway outside Nobu restaurant on 6/12 with her boyfriend, real estate developer Raffaello Follieri. She is also seen in InStyle Magazine, and in one candid at "The Devil Wears Prada" after party on 6/19.

Paris Hilton gets ignored by paparrazi


Paris Hilton saw a bunch of paparrazi camped outside a boutique next to where she was shopping in Beverly Hills. She asked her friend to loudly call for her and tried to make a grand exit to get all the photographers to pay attention to her. Only one guy came over to get some pictures, and then quickly left. All the other paparrazi totally ignored the talentless diva:

FAME'S CLOCK...TICK, TOCK...! Shopping with a galpal at a boutique on trendy Robertson Blvd., PARIS HILTON spied a pack of paparazzi hanging outside the store next door — and learned they were waiting to snap JENNIFER LOPEZ. Annoyed at not being center stage, Paris pursed her duck-lips, then told her friend: "We'll walk out the door, you call my name real loud — and watch them come running." Outside, the pal yelled, "Hey...PARIS!" But HeirHead flushed beet red when the paparazzi — unwilling to abandon their vantage point for the Jennifer photo op — ignored her! One lensman finally ran over, banged off a few quick frames — then went scampering back for his Viva La Lopez shot! Visibly upset, Paris muttered, "Screw them!"...and split.

There are so many pictures of Paris that they're worth a lot less than rare candids of Jennifer Lopez. We've been ignoring Paris Hilton too. (Except for Friday, when it was a slow news day.) The girl gets around and like Britney, she's cheap.

While Paris was in London for the 02 Wireless Festival she get miffed at the idea of getting her high heels muddy and asked for transportation around the event. A little buggy came to pick her up, and she got all pissy about how slow it was and tried to bribe the driver to make it go faster:

Hilton rocked up to the festival in Hyde Park dressed immaculately but soon realised she would be required to walk from the main gate to the VIP area backstage.

Unable to bear even a smudge of mud on her perfect (but not very sensible) Manolo Blahniks organisers arranged for a golf cart to whizz Hilton around.

However, the speed of the cart was not to her liking and she was soon attempting to bribe the driver with a bag of cash she had on her person.

A source told the Sun: “Paris wasn’t best pleased with the buggy. She had an amazing look on her face when the little buggy trundled up to give her a lift.

“She told the driver in no uncertain terms he had to get a move on because she didn’t want to miss James Blunt.

“She said she had cash if he could get a shift on – but there was nothing he could do.”

Luckily Paris made it in time to see Blunt and spent the rest of the weekend partying with him and his model girlfriend, Petra Nemcova.

God forbid she should miss James Blunt performing. He doesn't sound the same in every song or anything.

Here she is with ridiculous fake eyelashes that look like they're going to scratch her cornea outside of Boujis nightclub in London last night. She changes her look a lot, and sometimes she's successful and looks decent. Most of the time she looks like a poor imitation of real celebrity, in this case Jessica Simpson.

Outtakes from K-Fed's Item magazine shoot - 18 photos

Everyone thought it was amazing how gorgeous a cleaned-up K-Fed looked when the pictures from his Item Magazine spread came out. He kind of looked like a used car salesman to me. (If you still think he's cute, just check out these pictures of him lounging around the pool with his gut hanging out during his PR vacation with Britney.)

K-Fed is the new face of the Blue Marlin Clothing Company's Five Star Vintage Clothing Line. Guess they don't mind having their brand associated with a guy whose only claim to fame is fathering lots of children and starring in the cringe-worthy "Chaotic".

Christina Aguilera has made another dig at Britney's husband, K-Fed, saying that her husband is reliable and "isn't trying to put out an album" or be in the spotlight:

"I'm in the happiest place I've ever been. Jordy [my husband] is a rock. It's hard to find a man in this world that can take a woman in the spotlight. He just wants to be my hubby and do what he needs to do in his career. He's not trying to be in the spotlight. He's not trying to put out an album."

Aguilera felt the need to bring everyone's attention to the fact that Britney was not at the MTV Music Awards this year. She said something about wanting to chat with her, but she was really highlighting how hot she still is, while Britney has let herself go and is focusing on her role as a neglectful mother. Aguilera called Britney's wedding to K-Fed two years ago "pathetic" at the time, and she was unfortunately right.

Some of these pictures of K-Fed's Item Magazine shoot you've seen before, but many are new. If K-Fed can clean up, maybe Britney can, too.

New Jessica Simpson song totally rips off Madonna's "Holiday"


The new Jessica Simpson song, "A Public Affair" is so strikingly similar to Madonna's "Holiday" that it's surprising it's not a remake. TMZ has both songs available for a comparison:

The single appears to bear a striking resemblance to Madonna's 1983 hit "Holiday." In fact, the songs sounds eerily similar.

From the synth-pop beat to the jangly guitars in the beginning, to the eight-note motifs in the verses to the choruses that begin on an A and the use of the same key (B-minor), the two songs are so similar that, in a highly unscientific poll, every person to whom TMZ played "A Public Affair" identified it as "Holiday." Will Jellybean Benitez (who produced the original) be getting royalties for this?

TMZ called a rep for Madonna, but as of yet our calls have not been returned. As for Jessica, her rep tells TMZ "It is a fun summer single and comparing to retro Madonna is flattering!"

My husband thought it was "Holiday" when he heard the Jessica Simpson song, and it's amazing that someone thought they could get away with such a blatant rip off. I'm not blaming Jessica because she probably just does what people tell her to do.

Maybe Simpson's producers will pull the song or choose another to use as the first single off her new album.

She is in dire need of advice and has been letting her best friend and hairdresser Ken spend too much time on Eva Longoria's hair. The poor girl has major roots in these pictures at the launch of the Sidekick 3 on 6/20. She's also wearing an unflattering dress, and if she was still married someone (probably us) would be calling her pregnant.

Download the new Britney Spears song, Rebellion



Britney released a clip of a new song on her website called "Rebellion." It looks like it was up briefly and was removed, because BreatheHeavy.com says it was the second update and was under her poem, but it's no longer available.

The lyrics reveal the fact that she's pissed off at the paparrazi and press and thinks that she can make a noun into a verb by repeating it a lot. On her site before the download link she wrote "This is for everyone who thinks they know me... I forgive you."

Download a 50 second clip of Rebellion (mp3)

It's got a wannabe hip-hop vibe and it's pretty good.

You'll find it in rebellion You'll finally start breathing They're not believing what they're seeing 'Cause you're rebellion


Be wary of others
The ones closest to you (oh)
The poison they feed you
And the voodoo that they do

But in rebellion
There's a sparkle of truth
Don't just stand there
Do what you got to do

You'll find it in rebellion
You'll finally start breathing
They're not believing what they're seeing
'Cause you're rebellion

You'll find it so compelling
With everyone yelling
'Cause your soul, you're not selling
'Cause you're rebellion

You're not selling your soul, Britney, just some crappy pictures that no one wants. It's also clear that you're pissed off at Kevin, because he's slowly poisoning you. We get it.

You think you're rebellion by dyeing your hair black, don't you?

Lyrics and Britney mp3 from BreatheHeavy.com.

Even when she tries to be classy Britney Spears is cheap


Britney Spears realized what a trashy loser people thought she was after her horrendous "Dateline" interview, in which she refused help from her publicists and didn't even have a hairdresser or makeup artist help her get ready. The pregnant singer chewed gum the whole time and bawled her eyes out when questioned about the parparrazi. She seemed arrogant and defensive and looked cheap in a super-short outfit.

Once Britney heard how poorly the interview was received she tried to do damage control by having professional portraits done. She shopped the pictures around to gossip mags at the sky-high price of $200,000. Britney called the gossip rags "trash" in her interview, and they showed her who was the trashy one by refusing to buy the pictures.

The only magazine willing to carry Britney's "classy" pictures and an interview was OK! Magazine - and they snatched them up at the bargain basement price of $5,000. When asked about the story and cheap photos, OK! said "Who doesn't love a discount?"

BRITNEY Spears was shocked - shocked! - by the reaction to her wretched NBC interview with Matt Lauer (87 percent of people polled in Us Weekly had less respect for Spears after the chat). So she attempted damage control. Spears had a photographer take pretty pictures of her - this time with professional hair, makeup and wardrobe. And despite tearfully begging for privacy, saying she hates media attention, and calling the celebrity weeklies "trash" in the interview, Spears then tried to sell the photos and an "exclusive" interview to those same trashy weeklies for $200,000. There were no takers. OK! finally bought the shots and the interview for a measly $5,000. A rep for the magazine declined comment but did say, "Who doesn't love a discount?"

Britney, you're the discount. Get your ass in gear and get some media training.

High Res photos from Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's wedding


Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were married in a candlelit Catholic ceremony in Sydney on Sunday:

The all-candlelight ceremony took place just after sundown Sunday night at Sydney, Australia's Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on St. Patrick's Estate at Manly.

Guests at the black-tie event included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts and Rupert Murdoch.

Kidman's wedding party consisted of her sister Antonia, who was her maid of honor, and daughter Isabella, 13, who was her bridesmaid. Antonia's daughter, Lucia, was a flower girl. On the groom's side were Urban's brother Shane, who served as best man, and longtime buddy Marlon Holden, who produced Urban's first solo album in 1991.

Kidman wore a dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga. Her father, Antony, walked her down the aisle under the dramatic glow of a spotlight. She kept her veil on throughout the ceremony, only lifting it when it came time to say the (very traditional) vows.

Nicole cried all the way to the church in the car and then she cried all during the ceremony and had to wipe her eyes under the veil," a guest tells PEOPLE. "It was the most emotional and beautiful ceremony. Nicole looked ethereal with her veil floating, like a vision in white. ... Keith cried when he looked at her.

"It was so intense," the guest says. "When her veil was lifted, he moved right in and he grabbed her and kissed her. It was a long, passionate kiss. (Then) everything went from being quiet and elegant and intense to really loud, like we were suddenly at a soccer game. There was screaming and hollering and such excitement.

"But when Nicole and Keith looked at each other it was like they were the only two people in the room. They are so deeply in love. It was the most incredible wedding."

In lieu of gifts, guests were asked to donate to the Sydney Children's Hospital.

Both Jackman and Crowded House's Neil Finn performed at the reception, which had a "passion" theme and red color scheme – including red carnations hanging from huge chandeliers and red roses on the tables.

Either the rumors were untrue or Keith decided at the last minute not to perform at the reception, because it was said that he was planning to serenade Nicole.

It sounds lovely and quite romantic. Best wishes to Keith and Nicole.

Here are pictures from the wedding, including a high-res version of the official wedding photo and one high-res of Nicole in the car outside the wedding [via]. The other wedding photos are medium-sized. The other high-res photos are of Nicole on the day before the wedding outside her parents' house.

More leaked Brangelina baby shower photos


Thanks to Millie for pointing out the other two pictures leaked from Angelina Jolie's baby shower. [via] People are saying that it's crappy of one of their friends to shop the pictures around, but that it's likely that they're stolen. One commentor on DListed notes that there's a rumor that one of Brad's bodyguards is behind it.

The photo of Angelina and Zahara on the beach is lovely, and it's nice to see Brad and Angelina laughing and looking like they're having a good time.

We'll have to wait and see where these photos turn up and who gets threatened with a lawsuit. It's sure to be big news come Monday.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt baby shower pic


Celebirty Baby Blog had this picture that's supposedly from Angelina Jolie's baby shower showing the heavily pregnant actress wearing a feather boa and joking around with Brad:

We were emailed earlier this evening by a person claiming to have a memory stick containing 450 digital photos of the Jolie-Pitt family while they were still in Africa. This person is shopping the photos around to papers and magazines, but included a few picture files, including this shot, in their email. It is supposedly from Angelina and Brad's baby shower - very cute!

Whoever has those 450 digital photos of the Jolie-Pitts could easily retire on the income from selling the pictures, but doesn't have a clue how to market them properly if they're e-mailing blogs about it. (No offense to the fabulous Celebrity Baby Blog.)

Stay tuned as more pictures are released. They're sure to spread like wildfire.

Look who else is going black - Paris


Paris Hilton has been spotted out in wigs in a lame attempt to go incognito several times. This latest look isn't surprising, except she's at a public event so she shouldn't have bothered. She was at the O2 wireless festival with her friend Caroline D'Amore.

Paris' ten-minute affair with French Canadian hockey goalie Jose Theodore during the Much Music festival has led his baby's momma to dump him. Paris was seen holding hands with Theodore and now his life is fucked up beyond repair:

A Toronto tryst with celebrity heiress Paris Hilton appears to have cost former Habs goalie Jose Theodore his relationship with the mother of his three-month-old daughter.

The TQS French-language television network has reported that Stephanie Cloutier ended their eight-year relationship and kicked the sports star out of their Montreal home this week after learning about the affair.

Photos of Hilton and Theodore holding hands were printed in newspapers and across the country.

"Stephanie Cloutier has kicked Theo out of her life and her house," TQS culture reporter Marie-Christine Proulx reported.

Good for Stephanie! If only all of the women sleeping with Paris' exes would dump them, we could reduce the spread of herpes throughout the population of hot but dumb 20-somethings.

Paris' new single "Stars are Blind" is out, and while it's catchy people are wondering if she can actually sing. It's being called the "musical equivalent of airbrushing."

Paris is shown yesterday at the O2 wireless festival and on 6/20 at the launch of the T-Mobile sidekick. She's wearing a white glove so she mustn't want her hands to touch any sidekicks infested with other celebrity germs. The dress isn't so bad, but check out her ridiculous yellow shoes with the giant bows and her nautical-theme earrings!

Is Justin Timberlake dating Lauren Popeil?


Justin Timberlake might be getting friendly with Lauren Popeil, the daughter of famous Ronco informercial king Ron Popeil. A source tells Perez Hilton that they're good "friends" and went out together to a club in Hollywood last week:

Just as it's become public that he and long-time girlfriend Cameron Diaz have called it quits, a source tells PerezHilton.com exclusively that Timberlake's already found a new lady friend, which may have contributed to his break-up.

The singer has been "spending time" lately with Lauren Popeil (above center), daughter of pasta maker and infomercial guy Ron Popeil.

The two have gotten quite chummy very quickly and have even been taken their close "friendship" public, hitting hotspot Hyde in West Hollywood last Friday night.

The only information I could find on Lauren was on the website for the household goods business she helps run with her mother, popeilfamilystore.com. She is 23, as a 1997 article about Ron lists her age at the time as 14. She was friends with Paris Hilton at some point, because her name was listed on Paris' phone when it was hacked. She doesn't get around - or get photographed - too much, though. The latest pictures of Lauren on Wireimage are from a SuperBowl after party in 2003.

While there is no official response from either Justin or Cameron's camp to the breakup rumors, People cites a source that states that they're still going strong:

"The couple are in fact very much together, as he prepares for the release of his album," says the source, who is close to Timberlake. "Of course, made-up sources have had them breaking up, getting married and having a baby ever since they began dating over three years ago."

Earlier this week, a report claimed that Timberlake – who is slated to release his new album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, on Sept. 12 – had broken up with Diaz. The story cited their age difference – he's 25, she's 33 – one of the reasons why.

Maybe the source is one of Cameron's friends and she's in denial or doesn't know yet. We don't think everything's fine between them, especially in light of this video of Justin on TMZ. A blonde is seen getting into his car, and it's not Cameron.

Angelina Jolie commissioned nude pregnancy portraits


Angelina Jolie posed for a series of portraits chronicalling her pregnancy. She had the artist, Don Bachardy, flown into Namibia and had him sworn to secrecy about the project:

The 'Tomb Raider' actress commissioned US artist Don Bachardy to paint three portraits of her to record the different stages of her pregnancy.

However, the revealing paintings may never been seen by the public because they are likely to remain in Angelina's private collection.

A source said: "Angelina has asked him not to talk about or show the portraits to anyone."

Bachardy - who has also painted Rita Hayworth, Jack Nicholson and Bette Davis - flew to Paris and Namibia to paint the 'Tomb Raider' actress before she gave birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel last month.

Artist Dan Bachardy is a 72 year-old gay man, and has had his work shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Smithsonian art museum.

His portraits are stylized views of the subjects and can be revealing but aren't realistic enough to embarass. Bachardy uses heavy strokes, shading and light to make peop look slightly cartoonish. Angelina's pictures are sure to be tasteful and probably don't give away much more of her naked body than we've already seen.

Meanwhile Angelina has brought Shiloh to visit her ailing mother, French actress Marcheline Bertrand, in LA. Bertrand has been under care for cancer, and was not well enough to fly to Namibia to see her grandchild after the birth. (thanks xiaoecho!)

A paparrazo was arrested outside of four year old Maddox's daycare yesterday. The guy was hiding in the bushes trying to get pictures of the tot when a member of Jolie-Pitt's agressive security force nabbed him. He was then arrested and released on $1,000 bail.

Here are some random older Angelina Jolie photoshoots for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to babyface at Hollywood's Best.

Nicole Kidman's sensible pre-nup; Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney again?


Nicole Kidman had Keith Urban sign a prenup in preparation for their wedding this weekend that gives him a relatively paltry portion of Kidman's fortune. Kidman is said to be worth $150 million dollars, but she'll only surrender $600k a year to her groom-to-be if they get divorced. If he drinks a lot or does drugs, he gets nothing:

Kidman, who's worth about $150 million, has had her hubby-to-be ink a lowball prenup that guarantees him a kiss-off of just over $600,000 a year for every year they are together, according to press reports in Australia and England. In addition, there's a clause that allows her to bail without giving Urban, an ex-cocaine addict, a cent if he uses illegal narcotics or boozes excessively.

The agreement, signed in Los Angeles earlier this month, also calls for joint custody of any kids the couple has together, although Urban would be prohibited from taking them out of whatever country Kidman is living in, the London Daily Mail said.

Kidman, 39, will wear a long white gown with Victorian-style high collar during the traditional Roman Catholic ceremony at an old Gothic chapel overlooking the sea in the Sydney suburb of Manly - a far cry from her Scientology-based nuptials with Tom Cruise in 1990, a union that ended in annulment five years ago.

The 200 guests who'll party under a huge white tent after the wedding include her adopted kids with Cruise, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11; Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Russell Crowe, Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman and Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch. Flying in separately are Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney, whose marriage only lasted seven months but whom we hear are quietly seeing each other again.
...

Meanwhile, Nicole had her bachelorette party at her sister Antonia's home, and it was tamer than tame. Instead of male strippers and boozing, the girls each brought a favorite recipe to discuss.

The most interesting part of this article is the mention of Zellweger and Chesney's on-again relationship. If this is true, I would like to see pictures. Zellweger manages to avoid the paparrazi, and she was rumored to be seeing Chesney briefly after their high profile divorce. She deserves someone who will pay more attention to her, though, and if the rumors about Chesney are true it's possible they're just friends.

Kidman has taken smart precautionary measures for her wedding to an ex-drug addict, although it might actually last and we hope things work out for them.

Although Kidman's "hen party" wasn't too exciting, Naomi Watts was in town to party with her prior to the wedding, and it looks like they had a little bit to drink. Here are pictures of Watts and Kidman out on the town last night in Sydney. [via] In the last picture Kidman is shown being driven from her Sydney home this morning.

High res photos of Britney's new black hair


The trainwreck that is Britney Spears just hit another small child left wandering on the tracks by its bad mother. She went on national primetime television without consulting her publicist, got rid of Perry, the one good thing that's happened to her since she busted a knee and hooked up with K-Fed, and dyed her trademark blonde hair black.

No one was with Britney when she made her typically ignorant and arrogant comments to Matt Lauer on "Dateline." She brushed off her publicists, and didn't have a stylist or makeup artist help her get ready. It was all too evident:

"Neither of her publicists, Leslie Sloane Zelnick or Nanci Ryder, showed up," said our source. Spears insisted on doing her own hair and makeup - a regrettable decision. Web sites derided her hair as a "rat's nest" and, when she started crying during the interview, one of her fake eyelashes fell off. "When [the NBC crew] got there, they thought they had the wrong day . . . During the interview, no one was there to rein things in," we're told.

Spears, when asked about Kevin Federline being with a pregnant Shar Jackson when they first met, shot back, "Julia Roberts' husband had a pregnant wife when he hooked up with Julia, but no one ever talked about that!" Spears wore flip-flops, a see-through tank and micro-mini jeans. Reps tried to control the damage on Friday. "They asked NBC not to release footage to places like E!," said a source. Asked why Spears was on her own for the interview, Sloane Zelnick said, "Britney is a grown-up and makes her own decisions."

Britney probably popped into the local CVS to make her own decision to dye her hair this jet black color. Everyone thought it was a poor wig disguise at first, but now it's clear that this is Britney's own hair. (plus extensions.)

The poor girl must have thought she was trying to escape from the paparrazi "Fugitive" style, but she just managed to make herself a more interesting target.

Readers noted after seeing the pictures of Britney and Sean Preston riding around in a golf cart last week that the tot looked sunburned. Yesterday's photographs show his red little face and head. Britney would say "stuff happens with kids," but it doesn't usually happen if you take a little time for precautions. Britney may make her own decisions, but they affect her child and she needs a lot of help.

Update: Britney is said to have turned down a $3.6 million deal to be the new face of Kleenex in a bid for the tissue company to cash in on her tearful down and out image. The source is some British rag, though, and it sounds like something that is completely fabricated.

Where is Britney's manny Perry?!


Earlier in the week it was reported that Kevin wanted Britney to fire her gorgeous helpful bodyguard/manny, 28 year-old naval academy graduate, Perry Taylor. Britney may have followed his advice, because she was photographed out without Perry in a NY Mall yesterday.

Kevin has now told his wife he doesn't want her to employ the guard anymore because he is worried he will come between them as they try and save their struggling marriage.

A source close to the pop star is quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "Kevin didn't like seeing Perry holding his son while out with Britney. He instructed her to drop him before their reunion last week where
they decided to get their marriage back on track. Kevin was uncomfortable with Perry being so close to Britney and his son. He felt she was trying to taunt him."

Perry has now reportedly been told by the 'Toxic' singer he will only be employed on an hourly basis when he is needed as opposed to the round-the-clock shifts he did before.

Kevin would tell Britney to get rid of a guy that's ten times more helpful than he is. He wants to control her and make sure she doesn't leave his sorry ass. It looks like Perry's fifteen minutes of fame, and his steady job, are over. Maybe if he did it half-assed like Kevin, Britney's husband wouldn't feel threatened by him and wouldn't have asked her to fire him.

Britney and Kevin were said to have vacationed together at a resort in Miami this weekend, but the reality is that they avoided each other and stayed in separate houses at their resort.

Kevin has new gigs this week as the face of Blue Marlin clothing company and campaigning for a new Virgin Mobile charity "penny" drive. It's really a publicity stunt for Virgin's one-cent text messaging offer. Now that he's getting his own "work" maybe he'll get cocky enough about it to finally set Britney free.

Here are pictures of Kevin Federline at a Miami resort on 6/18, and 6/19. There are also pictures of Kevin signing the petition to keep the penny in circulation, and Britney shopping at a NY Mall on 6/21. Britney and Kevin are shown on the balcony at their Miami resort. Pictures [via] [via] [via]

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban to be married this weekend


Nicole Kidman's children, Conner and Isabella, have arrived in Australia for their mom's wedding to Keith Urban. The wedding details are a well-guarded secret, but sources say that it will take place this Sunday, June 25th:

NICOLE KIDMAN's children ISABELLA and CONNOR have arrived in Australia for the actress' wedding to KEITH URBAN, without their father TOM CRUISE. Isabella, aged 13 and 11-year-old Connor arrived at Kidman's Sydney Harbour mansion with their grandmother JANELLE after flying in on a private jet from Tokyo, where they had been on a publicity tour with their dad.

Kidman and country star Urban will marry this weekend. They have kept details fiercely guarded, but the nuptials are expected to take place in on Sunday (25JUN06).

A marquee is currently being erected at a Catholic church in the Sydney suburb Manly, where the wedding is expected to take place.

Tom Cruise didn't travel to Australia with his children, but he supposedly sent Kidman a blurry far-off picture of a baby that is supposed to be Suri as a present for her birthday. The botoxed beauty turned 39 on Sunday, and received the photo from her ex with the handwritten caption "A very nappy birthday to you."

That doesn't sound true to us and the source is not that solid. If it is true, it lends some slight credibility to the rumor that Kidman is pregnant with her first biological child. She was seen with a tummy hanging out of her sweatpants during a recent yoga class, and seems to have some sort of a bump in these recent pictures.

Kidman is shown at the Shanghai International Film Festival and an Omega watches promotional event in China on June 17th. [via]

Did Justin Timberlake break up with Cameron Diaz?


Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz were rumored to be engaged last week. We spotted a ring on Cameron's finger when she was out at a Laker's game with Justin in early April, and we believed the rumors. It seems like the engagement stories might be overblown because Justin is said to have ended his three-year relationship with Cameron, just in time for his new tour:

What with all the fake stories about rings and engagements, this major celebrity bustup has gone under the radar. But this time it's really happened. Both parties (Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz) want to keep it quiet - they don't want to make a big deal out of such a sensitive issue. What happened is that Justin is poised to leave on a world tour and he wants to be free. Last week he informed Cameron that it's over, just as she was about to leave town to film some movie pickups, and according to insiders "she is devastated." "They were a great, well matched couple in many ways but Cameron (at 33) is ready to settle down and wants a commitment, even though she might not admit it. Justin is only 24 and he's been with Cameron for three years. He hasn't had a chance to sow his wild oats yet." "A few weeks back, Justin and his buddies took off for a few days in Las Vegas and Cameron went chasing after him. She was just too clingy."

At the end of March The NY Daily News ran a story saying that Justin was a commitment-phobe and was unwilling to marry Cameron, who is ready to settle down and raise a family. We'll have to wait and see if this latest news is true. Although Diaz seems like a major bitch and we don't like her, she deserve happiness like anyone else and it's too bad for her. Maybe she'll find a guy a little older who is ready for children.

Here are Justin and Cameron at the Laker's Game in early April. Justin is also shown outside of LA Clubs on June 10th and June 13th. [via]

Victoria Silvstedt receiving oral sex on the beach (sorta NSFW)


Victoria Silvstedt's new boyfriend is a little troll. He has buck teeth and a belly and is about a foot shorter than her. He must be richer than sin to land 1997's Playmate of the Year. From the looks of these pictures of him giving her oral off a dock in Sardinia, [via] he knows what he's doing in that department because she's clearly pleased.

Sky News published a story about these pictures on June 14th, called "Who are little 'n large?" but it has been removed from their site.

Swedish model Silvstedt is 31.

Kate Bosworth and Orlando Bloom at the Superman Returns premiere


Kate Bosworth and new super-hottie Brandon Routh attended the premiere of "Superman Returns" last night in LA. Kate was dashing in a floor length white gown, but her ears looked elvish and she should have worn her hair down.

"Superman Returns" opens this weekend and is sure to be a hit with critics and crowds. It has an astonishing 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics saying that it's "superb," "triumphant," and a lot of fun.

Here is an interview with Bosworth about her character, Lois Lane, in "Superman Returns." The narration voice-over is really loud, so be careful if you're watching at work.

Bosworth did all her own flying stunts with a harness in the film.

Bosworth is seen posing with her costar Brandon Routh, and with her flirty boyfriend, Orlando Bloom. People were saying that Bloom and Bosworth may have ended their tumultuous relationship after Bloom was caught nuzzling Claire Danes and having lunch with Sienna Miller.

Here are pictures from the premiere [via] and the film.

Update: Some images removed on request.

David Spade wants to propose to Heather Locklear


David Spade may be set to pop the question to bitchy hottie Heather Locklear. The mismatched couple has tried to lay low during Locklear's high profile divorce from Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora. Sambora is putting the blocks to publicity hound Denise Richards, who lived right next door to Locklear and Sambora and encouraged Locklear to divorce him.

David Spade reportedly wants to get hitched to Heather Locklear.

“I’m so in love it’s ridiculous,” Spade told a “friend,” according to Life & Style weekly. “Never in my life did I think I’d be with someone so gorgeous and successful. She knows I’m going to ask. It’s all about timing.”

Spade’s rep issued a “no comment,” but the mag reports that the “Just Shoot Me” star plans to pop the question this summer.

Spade and Locklear were said to have broken up back in mid-May after a romance that hit the tabs in April that no one believed anyway. When these pictures of Space and Locklear at the beach [via] came out at the beginning of the month it seemed like the unbelievable could be true.

Locklear isn't likely to accept Spade's proposal if this is true. While Spade has defended her, saying she's still "nursing the knife wounds in her back" from her failed friendship with Denise Richards, he doesn't seem like a good match for Locklear. He's a short comic with no sex appeal, and she's well - Heather Locklear. She surprised her husband with divorce papers and she doesn't seem ready to settle down again in a rebound relationship.

Here are Spade and Locklear at the beach and Locklear getting into her car on 4/13. [via]

Pete Doherty to publish his diaries; Kate Moss scraps her book plans


Pete Doherty got up to all sorts of his usual trouble this week. When he flew into Sweden last weekend for some scheduled performances with his band, Babyshambles, he was so out of it he had to use a wheelchair to reach customs. The Swedish authorities were reluctant to retain him, but after he got out of the wheelchair and rolled around on the floor they were forced to do something and decided to search his luggage.

Due to Pete's delay at the border, his band Babyshambles went on an hour late for their performance at the Hultsfred Festival in southern Sweden. The police there were suspicious of Pete's drunken behavior and decided to test his blood for drugs. They found traces of cocaine and a mild tranquilizer, benzodiazepine, which Doherty says he has a prescription for. He was fined $1,900 and released.

At least he seems to be off heroin for a few hours. He was in a rehab clinic in Portugal at the beginning of the month, and his lawyer said treatment was "going well." In Pete's case that means he didn't bust up the place yet.

Doherty later got kicked out of the Debaser club in Stokholm in the middle of a "messy" and drunken performance. A girl was said to be freaking out after she stepped on some broken glass. Doherty was trying to handle the situation by "lashing out at people" and got booted from the club.

Doherty also plans to record a solo album this summer. We bet it has more do with the fact that his bandmates are fed up with him than trying to establish himself as a solo artist.

Doherty's frequent clashes with authorities may fuel his creative endeavors. He just announced that he's publishing his diaires that span back years:

The book, including poems, drawings and lyrics, will cover the star's time with The Libertines, his relationship with model Kate Moss and his drug addiction.

"Some of it is very funny, some of it is pretty dark. All of it is incredibly readable," said Ian Preece, Orion Books commissioning editor.

Doherty was due to give a poetry reading at a publishing launch in a London pub, but failed to turn up.

"The diaries stretch right back to Pete's early years," said Mr Preece.

"It is intimate and honest stuff and a complete antidote to a lot of what you might have read about him."

In a statement, Doherty said: "I've always wanted to have a book published and it's all very exciting for me personally."

Even if it's total crap and as random and unreadable as Macaulay Culkin's "book," you know people will buy it.

Meanwhile Doherty's ex, Kate Moss, has wisely decided not to publish her memoirs. She was paid a £1million advance by Virgin books to write an autobiography about her cocaine abuse. She decided against it, and is wisely keeping that part of her past private. Moss was embroiled in a scandal in September of last year after a videotape was released of her snorting lines backstage at a Babyshambles concert. She was dropped from modeling campaigns with Chanel and Burberry at the time, but has since landed new lucrative contracts as the face of Nikon and Calvin Klein.

Here is Kate Moss outside a London Hotel earlier this week. [via] Doherty is shown at the Rock am Ring festival on 6/2.

Celebrities wearing the same dress



Sky.co.uk had a huge image gallery of celebrities wearing the same dress to different events.

A notable exception to this was Gayle King and Alfre Woodard who wore the same floaty orange Pamella Roland dress to the 2006 Tony Awards. They both played it off like it wasn't a big deal and happily posed for photographs together.

Speaking of dress disasters, Star Magazine thought it was a huge scandal that Julia Roberts wore the same dress twice in seven years. She was seen in the hot red Vivienne Tam number when attending the "Notting Hill" premiere in 1999. She wore the dress again to the closing night of her Broadway show "Three Days of Rain" this year. We applaud Roberts for recycling the dress, and think that if it's still in fashion, seven years is plenty of time to wait to wear it again. It must be a slow news week if Star is acting like it's a huge faux pas on Roberts' part.

To access pictures of celebrities wearing the same dress, choose any of the thumbnails below, or visit the "Same Dress" Gallery Index page.
Dates and designers are listed where known.

Are Jay-Z and Beyonce over?


SocialRank claims to have an exclusive that Jay-Z and Beyonce are calling off their relationship due to too much time apart and too many conflicts. There was a rumor last month that they were getting married after Jay-Z lost weight on a diet supervised by Beyonce, but that was influenced by Beyonce's own success in the dieting department and didn't seem like a strong enough indication that they were preparing for a wedding:

New York’s hip-hop royalty couple of Jay-Z and Beyonce are ending their relationship before the walk down the aisle and anticipated stunner of the wedding dress. After months of speculation the numerous sources attached very close to the couple confirm that Beyonce has had it with Jay-Z and his immature, champagne drinking impresario image. “She wants a man, who supports her, loves her, stand by her side”, a source told SocialRank. “B is sick of him possessively trying to keep things private. She doesn’t feel enough affection or love from him”.

Jay-Z has been completely immersed with his Island Def Jam work for the last couple of months, while spending all his free time at the offices or games of New Jersey Nets. Beyonce meanwhile went to Cannes and to the Walk of Fame Induction ceremony all by herself, feeling lonely and unsupported. “Jay is obsessed with keeping basketball game scores” another very close source to the couple is saying. “Beyonce is looking to the future. Her sister Solange already has a baby. Her own parents have an amazing, fulfilling relationship and she not only wants a steady career, she wants to have tight family circle around her as well”.

The Page Six publicized basketball game fight wasn’t a first blow-out the couple has experienced lately. Private fights, ignored telephone calls, screaming arguments have been the theme of the couple’s last couple of months. “It has simply become too much”, a source confides. “Beyonce realized that two of them just might be incompatible and their relationship is really a lie they both were trying to believe in”. They came together to LA Reid’s birthday bash last week and put on the “happy couple” show. But inside out source observes. “Beyonce simply feels empty. She wants to spend this important Dreamgirls year for her with someone who understands her and relates to her a lot more”.

[via]

It sounds like they're both too busy to spend time together, and that Jay-Z is too focused on sports and partying to settle down. That is really common and I have dated guys like that. As much as you love them, you have to move on to someone who has the same goals in life and is ready for a long term commitment.

Beyonce was said to be jealous of Jay-Z's very close working relationship with hot singer Rhianna, but it doesn't seem like Jay-Z and Rhianna were having more than a flirtatious friendship.

There is only a single source for this news now, so until it's confirmed and reported all over we aren't sure it's true. Even if it's spot-on, it will probably be a while before the breakup is acknowledged.

Here are Beyonce and Jay-Z taking care not to be photographed together as they leave a NY hotel on 6/12, and some candids of Beyonce in NY alone on 6/15. [via]

Heidi Klum is pregnant with her third child


Heidi Klum is said to be pregnant with her third child. While US Weekly claims a "source" says "she's just starting to show," Star says that she's only 6 weeks along, so US' source is most likely some guy in a cube zooming in on pictures of Klum's tummy.

When it comes to motherhood, Heidi Klum, 33, moves fast. Having given birth to son Henry last September, supermodel and Project Runway host Heidi, 33, recently insisted that she and her husband, popstar Seal, 43, would have another baby "further on down the line... but we're not down that line yet!"

So much for those plans. An insider thisclose to Heidi claims that she is now six weeks pregnant with their second child!

"Obviously, she and Seal are thrilled!" says the source. "I guess becoming a mom again must have agreed with Heidi, since they're starting again so soon after [their last child was born in September 2005]."

This latest addition would be Heidi's third child, as she also has a daughter, Leni, 2, by a former boyfriend.

(from Star's e-mail newsletter.)

That's good news for Heidi and Seal, although it's sure to be frustrating to them that the news got out so soon. Before you point out that it's hypocritical to criticize Angelina for adopting again, while congratulating Heidi for getting pregnant - Heidi's youngest is ten months old and her newborn won't arrive for another eight and a half months. That's much different than having two newborn twins along with a three month old as Angelina is said to be planning.

Here are various older pictures of Heidi Klum and her husband, Seal. She is shown pregnant with her last child and none are very recent. They're cute so I thought I would post them. Thanks to MaD at Hollywoods' Best for a massive Hedi picture post.

Is Angelina f'ing crazy? She wants to adopt twins!


We are supposed to be on vacation, but it's much more work than our average day of blogging, going swimming with our son, and riding our bike to town to get a croissant. So our normal life is relaxing and calm like a vacation while our trip to the states is turning into constant travelling, shopping, and seeing all the friends I wish would visit us in Switzerland. It's a good thing that everything is all backwards now, but the blog is suffering during our travels. Sorry for that. Thanks for bearing with us until we're settled on Thursday when we'll continue working tirelessly for your gossip fix.

Meanwhile, what is wrong with Angelina Jolie? The woman went through a phase of being addicted to tattoos and morbid thoughts, then significantly improved herself by getting caught up in trying to save the world. Now she's moved on to adopting international babies, and seems to be feeling so much guilt over having a biological child that she's said to have started the process of adopting twins:

After having Shiloh Nouvel less then a month ago, Angelina is already planning another adoption, and this time according to sources, she wants twins! Friends of the couple tell Star that Brad and Angelina are on a tight schedule that will likely see them adding to their family as early as the end of the summer. Jolie wants to adopt a child very quickly due to what sources call invisible guilt or the feeling of bringing a child into the world at the expense of all of the other parentless children. A source tells Star that Angelina has already done some investigating and may adopt from a woman who village was basically destroyed by an earthquake, but this woman is due in August and she’s carrying twins!
(from Star Magazine's e-mail newsletter)

I know a guy who is one of eight kids, and there are plenty of families that grow quickly. It's just not as common in this era and it seems over the top for Angelina to want two more right away. Angelina needs to slow down and focus on the family she has now. Three kids are plenty, and Shiloh is barely a month old. She must be unfulfilled or have other problems that are causing her to obsess like this.

This isn't just a rumor because Angelina told Anderson Cooper in a CNN Interview for International Refugee Day that she plans to adopt again and that she's looking for a baby that fits in well "racially" with her other kids.

"Next we'll adopt," Jolie told CNN in an interview to be aired on Tuesday.

"We don't know which -- which country. But we're looking at different countries. And we're -- I'm just-- it's gonna be the balance of what would be the best for Mad and for Z right now. It's, you know, another boy, another girl, which country, which race would fit best with the kids," she said, referring to her adopted children.

As you can imagine, this comment sparked a lot of controversy on the board where we found this news. While some people understand, many are outraged that Angelina seems to be treating babies as accessories and say that all the nannies and maids in the world can't make up for the attention that children need from their parents.

I haven't seen the full Anderson Cooper interview with Angelina yet, but judging from the preview clips and her long drawn-out interview during the Namibian press conference she seems seriously imbalanced to me. I used to think she was this intelligent woman who turned her life around and was focusing on things that mattered. Now I think she's just fully absorbed in something without taking time to think it out and make sure her life is in balance.

You can see previews from Angelina's interview through the CNN website. Once the interview is available on YouTube, we'll post it here.

Here are screencaps of Angelina's expressions during the interview (Many more at ONTD) and some posed pictures. [via]

Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, and Cisco Adler at the Beach

Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton and her on and off-boyfriend, Cisco Adler, hit the beach this weekend. Richie is shown letting Mischa's little dog, Ziggy, lick her on the lips.

Whitestarr frontman Cisco insists everything between him and Barton is fine, and that stories of their breakup are not true. He says Mischa is busy working and that's why they weren't photographed together in a while.

Nicole Richie's dad has supposedly promised her a luxury Caribbean cruise with friends if she gains weight. Lionel Richie so worried about his daughter's health that he thought up the vacation as an incentive. Given all of luxuries Nicole enjoys on a daily basis, this doesn't seem like it will be an effective strategy. It's kind of Richie to be concerned about his daughter, though.

Something must be wrong with Suri Cruise


Suri Cruise was born three months ago and there's not even a single picture of the tot covered up. She must have a vitamin D deficiency because considering all the paparrazi that follow Cruise and Holmes around she surely hasn't seen the light of day.

Ted Casablanca of E! Online is saying that Tom and Katie are never going to get married and that the wedding plans are indefinitely on hold.

Defamer has a report from an eyewitness that observed a small baby-like bundle from afar that could have been Suri:

Tom brought the Miracle Baby over to the Amblin compound a couple of Fridays ago to take pictures of the baby with Steven Spielberg. Tom brought two giant black SUVs, a couple of REALLY large bodyguards, Katie, and the baby. I saw it (the M.B.) only from afar, but it looks like a regular baby.

This is the first "eyewitness" report we've had on this baby, and it's less than credible. We will sort of believe that the baby exits when we see it, but too much time has passed and we're going to buy into one of the "conspiracy" theories soon. (It's not a conspiracy if it's true!)

Scientology has brainwashed Tom into thinking any kind of publicity for himself is good, but that his little baby, who would soften public opinion of him if she actually exists and is photographed, should be shielded from public view. They're trying to keep him down and it's working.

Here is Tom at a photocall in Tokyo for Mission Impossible III. Director JJ Abrams, Maggie Q, Tom Cruise, Keri Russell and producer Paula Wagner are also shown.

Mira Sorvino and her newborn pictures


Unlikely Oscar winner Mira Sorvino, 38, posed for photographs with her much younger surfer-boy husband Chris Backus, 24, and their second child, 3 and a half week-old newborn, Johnny Christopher King Backus. The couple also has a one and a half year-old girl, Mattea Angel.

Just like Rachel Weisz, Sorvino looks to be a dedicated mother to her newborn and has not had her hair done for this photoshoot. We're just saying.

Everyone is so cute together and they look like a happy little family. We wish their little girl would have posed for pictures too.

Connie Chung drunk and singing on a piano

We are back in America after almost a year away, and we have to say that you people are totally spoiled! We miss 24 hour grocery stores, shopping on Sundays, and driving around like maniacs. Switzerland is much more relaxing, clean, and safe, but it's totally boring compared to America, and there are hardly any trashy TV shows. There's a lot of stress here, though, I forgot about that, and you must need a break from it all. I will do my best to make your celebrity vacation as gossip-filled and snarky as possible. Thanks to everyone who commented here and added us as friends on MySpace during our brief vacation.

So here's Connie Chung totally wasted and singing on a piano.

She was saying goodbye to the show you've never heard of that she hosted weekday mornings on MSNBC with her creepy ex-husband, Maury Povich:

"Weekends with Maury & Connie" — a half-hour program in which the two hosts sought to comment on the news through analysis, point-counter-point and humor — was at least partly intended to counter the conventional wisdom about each of them, she said. "It showed Maury was a thinker, a reader, an intelligent news person," Ms. Chung said. "It showed, on my side, that I can have as much fun as anyone."

The show, which was broadcast for six months, on Saturday mornings at 10 (and rebroadcast throughout the weekend), never caught on with viewers, drawing an average audience of slightly more than 200,000 on Saturday mornings. The cable channel quietly noted its demise earlier this month.

Chung says the act was a "gag" and that she "should have had a drink before I went on." She meant to say "I should have had another drink before I went on, maybe I would have blacked out and forgot about it."

Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky Baby Photos


Wireimage has these beautiful pictures of Rachel Weisz, Darren Aronofsky and their two-week old mystery baby. Oscar winner Weisz, 35, is engaged to director Aronofsky, whose work includes "Requiem for a Dream." Wireimage didn't even list the baby's name in the captions for these pictures, simply calling him the couple's son, but Rachel-Weisz.net says he's called "Henry Chance," which is quite normal for a celebrity baby.

Weisz must be a dedicated mommy because she didn't even take time out to wash her hair for this photoshoot.

Britney is defensive and dumb in her Dateline interview


The vacation is still on, but we're back posting sooner than expected because it's just not work to us to talk trash about celebrities.

In Britney's Dateline Interview she comes off defensive, rude, and dumb. She's even chewing gum, just like when she was announcing her pregnancy on Letterman! At one point she breaks down and cries when Lauer asks her "what do you think it will take to get the paparrazi to leave you alone?" While I feel sorry for her and don't blame her for crying, she didn't handle the first part of the questioning well at all.

She says of the incident where Child Protective Services visited her for Sean Perston's high chair fall that "they didn't have to come, the doctor there made them come because I didn't bring my doctor there with me." The doctor there made them come because her child was injured and they're required by law to contact Children and Family Services. That's idiotic to suggest the reason was because she didn't bring another doctor. She seems not to understand that is how CPS works.

When asked by Lauer if she tripped on her pants during the near baby-drop fiasco, she says, "I think, uh, actually, I didn't trip on anything, there was, a NY street, it was cobblestone... I think it was mixture of so many paparrazi and just how the road was all messed up, me just trying to get in the car." The road was perfecly flat and paved and not cobblestone at all. I live in Europe where there are real cobblestone streets and people manage to walk around holding all sorts of shit without stumbling and falling.

No fucking mention of the highball glass she was carrying at the time, and no admission of even partial guilt or regret for the incident. She blows it off, saying "accidents happen" and using the ridiculous example of her brother's multiple motorcycle accident at age 13 as a comparison. "Stuff happens with kids," she explains. Britney, you fucking idiot, you have total responsibility for your baby's safety and he's not the same as an adolescent boy.

She says she was crying afterwards because people were trying to take her picture, not because she almost hurt Sean. She also cals a woman ignorant for trying to take her picture at the time. "Ignorant" is not an adjective Britney should introduce into a conversation.

"There will be plenty more oopses, I'm human." Yes you are, and you're richer than 99.99% of the world. You can fucking hire someone to help you talk to the press and act like you actually take responsibility for your actions and care about your infant son.

"You have to realize that we're people, and we need privacy, and we need respect. Those are just things that you have to have as a human." This is your job, Britney, figure it out. The paparrazi are terrible and all but you need to find a better way to cope.

She does seem to love Sean even though she won't admit to any guilt or responsibility for his frequent safety mishaps.

Later in the interview she's in her element when talking about her music and her work, and she explains her brief involvement with the Kabbalah cult well. She has a new clothing line for children coming out, called "Baby Soul Rock and Roll," and she seems quite excited and happy about it.

While things seem to be looking up for her, she needs professional media coaching and she should never have done this interview.

Here is the relevant part of the interview:

This is part four in the series. Here are the earlier parts of Britney's interview:

Britney's Dateline Interview Part 1 of 4

Britney's Dateline Interview Part 2 of 4
Britney's Dateline Interview Part 3 of 4
Britney's Dateline Interview Part 4 of 4 (shown above)

Kate Moss gets off scot free for cocaine video


Kate Moss was videotaped doing lines backstage at a Babyshambles concert last September. She was promptly dumped from her modeling contracts with Chanel and Burberry and went to rehab. She got new modeling contracts with Nikon, Calvin Klein, and came back with a vengeance.

She fled England after the scandal broke and was said to be wanted for police questioning, which she avoided for a while. In January she finally spoke to the police, but took the good advice of her lawyers and did not admit to any wrongdoing.

She was expected to be cleared on all charges, and an official announcement was made today. Cops said they couldn't tell whether Moss was doing amphetamines, cocaine, or ecstasy in the video and since those substances fall under different drug severity classes they can't charge her with anything and she gets off on a technicality:

These drugs are in different categories -- Classes A and B -- and therefore the prosecution could not proceed because it was impossible to verify which category of substance was being abused.

"The film footage provides an absolutely clear indication that Ms. Moss was using controlled drugs and providing them to others," he said.

"However, in the absence of any forensic evidence, or direct eye witness evidence about the substance in question, its precise nature could not be established."

"Ms. Moss declined to provide any explanation when interviewed, and the direct eye witnesses also declined to provide evidence.

"Expert analysis of the footage, however, narrowed the possibilities down to three particular drugs: Cocaine, ecstasy or amphetamine.

"But these three substances fall into two different legal categories of controlled drugs.

"To obtain a conviction, case law establishes that the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt the legal category to which the substance being used belonged.

"Proving that it was a substance belonging either to one or other of two different legal categories is not sufficient.

"Accordingly, as the available evidence fell short of establishing the necessary crucial facts, we decided that there was no realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution could not therefore be started."

It's not like Kate would be in too much trouble if she actually was prosecuted for using a controlled substance. It seems like Pete Doherty is in court every other week on drugs charges and he hasn't faced great consequences other than being ordered to rehab.

Here's the shaky video of Kate doing cocaine in case you missed it: (Commentary is in Italian)

And here is Moss at the Isle of Wight music festival recently. It looks like Courtney Love is behind her in one of the shots. [via]

Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton screw charities


Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton should start their own phony foundation, because they've both been caught pledging money to charity and not paying up.

Jackson recorded a song called "What more can I give?" which was supposed to benefit the families of 9/11 victims. The answer to the song title is "not much," because he never released that song or another "charity" tune he claimed would aid Katrina victims. He planned to give CD sales profits to charity, but wanted to retain full copyright and legal rights to the songs, which would have made him a fortune in residuals.

These details came out in a lawsuit against Jackson by a business associate who claims Jackson owes him more than $3 million for loans and fees related to producing television shows on his behalf. Jackson says the guy who is suing him has a quarter million dollars worth of his sculptures and art, but if his claims are true would you blame him for snagging some of Jackson's paintings in exchange for not getting paid?

Two years ago Paris Hilton pledged to organize a concert to benefit an Australian charity for sick children. She never followed through or gave a donation. She ignored the charity's attempts to contact her, and managed to screw them out of even more money by falsely stating that she was helping them, causing people to think they had a donation windfall, and significantly decreasing their contributions:

Efforts by Paradise Kids to reach Hilton have been ignored. It was hoped the money raised from Hilton's concert would help complete an on-site hospice, but instead the charity has actually lost money because of Hiltons self serving claims. Three months after Hiltons promise, she told an Aussie magazine that the publicity she gave the charity boosted public awareness, which resulted in $500,000 in new donations. Paradise Kids co-founder Reverend Dr. Ian Mavor says that claim is not only false but has greatly damaged the group's fundraising activities. "The impact is people think we don't need their help and we do."

Sounds like Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton only want to get rich and hoard it by buying loads of worthless shit for themselves. Who would have guessed that about them?

There are always a shitload of pictures of Paris, which is why I snuck her worthless ass into this story about Michael Jackson. I threw most of the new pictures of her into a post yesterday about her fight with Lindsay Lohan, but here's her near nipple-slip outside the Regis and Kelly show again in case you missed it.

Jay-Z says Cristal is racist and he's boycotting it


The hip-hop community has given Cristal champage tons of free publicity by consuming it by the case, mentioning it in songs, and opening their fridges on the MTV show "Cribs" to show chilled bottles. As a result, Cristal has become a household name:

Rapper Biggie Smalls (a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G.), who was gunned down in 1997, is believed to have been the first performer to mention Cristal. He started off elegizing Moet & Chandon Champagne, then switched to "Cristal forever" on the song "Brooklyn's Finest" on Jay-Z's album "Reasonable Doubt." References to Cristal started popping up in the lyrics of Lil' Kim, Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, Jay-Z and 50 Cent. The latter has apparently launched what sounds like an inner-city sampling campaign with his hit song "Rotten Apple," in which he's "teachin' the hoodrats what Cristal taste like."

Jay-Z, who opened 40/40 last year, proposes trading his Cristal for extreme intimacy with a young woman in the video, "I Just Wanna Love You" -- the camera zooms in on a designer refrigerator full of the bubbly. In another video, "Big Pimpin'," he brandishes his drink on a yacht -- just the kind of "livin' large atmospherics" that brand managers love. (In fact, so many rap videos feature Cristal that Dr. Evil, the archrival of Austin Powers, both played by Mike Myers, did a hilarious parody of them in the movie "Austin Powers in Goldmember.")

Critics charge that whatever the image benefits -- rappers have given Cristal street credibility (and sales) that advertising could never buy...

Cristal is made by Champagne producer Louis Roederer from the best grapes from 500 acres of vineyards in northern France, and is aged in oak for five years. Even in a good year, only 65,000 six-bottle cases are made; in bad years, it's not produced at all. That happened three times during the 1990s.

That scarcity is a source of consternation for hip-hop stars who like to take Cristal along when they travel. P. Diddy spent $80,000 on four methuselahs (the equivalent of eight 750-ml bottles) of Cristal while chillin' in St. Tropez, according to the British newspaper the Observer, and for his 29th birthday at New York's Cipriani restaurant, he set up six free-flowing Champagne bars -- the tab was $500,000. Jay-Z even takes Cristal onstage.

Such antics have an impact. New York-based Scarborough Research found that people who have attended a hip-hop concert are 77 percent more likely than the general public to buy Champagne. And a recent study by New Media Strategies, a research company in Washington, D.C., showed that 60 percent of consumers who consider themselves hip-hop fans are likely to buy products mentioned by rappers.

The managing director of Cristal, Frederic Rouzaud, expressed misgivings about rappers endorsement of his brand in a new article in The Economist, stating that he views the attention with "curiosity and serenity." Nevermind the fact that hip hop stars are his biggest customers. He's afraid they could damage the brand's precious blue blood image, and said that rappers can go drink another kind of champagne:

Asked by the Economist about whether associations with rap stars could affect the marque, new managing director Frederic Rouzaud said: "That's a good question, but what can we do? We can't forbid people from buying it. I'm sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business."

Powerful rap mogul Jay-Z has called Rouzaud on his snotty racist remarks and is refusing to drink Cristal or sell it at his 40/40 sports bar.

"It has come to my attention that the managing director of Cristal, Frederic Rouzaud views the 'Hip-Hop' culture as 'unwelcome attention,'" said Jay-Z. "I view his comments as racist and will no longer support any of his products through any of my various brands including The 40/40 Club nor in my personal life."

The head of Cristal is such an asshole and if he doesn't issue a retraction soon we hope the hip hop community will call an all out boycott on the drink. He's new so maybe the board of directors or the company will fire him for making such a stupid comment. We hope Diddy will speak out next. If those idiots at Cristal don't want all the business and free publicity then they can go back to selling the shit to country clubs and estate parties and see how their exclusive attitude makes sales tank.

Britney is not going to Namibia to give birth


A satirical site called Postcards from the Pug Bus carried a pretty funny and mildly convincing article that proported that Britney told Matt Lauer in her upcoming interview that she's going to give birth in Namibia just like Angelina. Postcards from the Pug Bus is like The Onion and makes up funny shit that kind of sounds true.

The article was picked up and run as a real story by China Daily, Playfuls, and even Toronto's Fashion Monitor! It was then covered in I'm not Obsessed, The Dark Hat, and Best Week Ever Blog. I'm not Obsessed ran it with the title "This cannot be true," and Best Week Ever could have known it was fake since they've run other stories from Pug Bus. (Thanks to WeSmirch for making this "research" extra easy.)

Britney would make a dumb-ass decision like that, and with yesterday's news that she changed her baby on the floor of a Victoria's Secret, it's easy to believe.

The first half of the Pug Bus article contains real details about the interview that are already known. The quotes that follow about Namibia give away the fact that this is made up:

Mr. Lauer did ask Ms. Spears why she had chosen Namibia for the birth of her child. "Kevin has always been a fan of African-American culture," she replied. "I'm sure he'll feel at home there, rapping with all the natives. Besides, there's lots of quiet unpaved roads where Sean Preston and I can go driving."

Ms. Spears also said that Namibia reminds her of California "because it's on the ocean and there's lots of sand. So if Sean Preston fell off his swing and landed on his head, there's less chance he would be hurt and we'd have those snoops from child welfare up our butts all the time."

Finally, said Ms. Spears, "I heard that Namibia has laws that let celebrities say whether or not journalists are allowed in the country. That's so important, even more important than getting the same villa that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had."

The China Daily and Playfuls articles contained all these improbable quotes, but the Fashion Monitor runs it without any quotes, making it seem like pure delicious fact.

There's a new video of pregnant Britney at the beach that you can access at BreatheHeavy.com, where we also snagged the header image.

Renee Zellweger warns Nicole Kidman not to marry a country star


Renee Zellweger has reportedly told Nicole Kidman that all country stars who like to make money are terrible husbands, or something like that:

The 'Bridget Jones' Diary' star has reportedly begged her actress friend not to wed fiancé Keith Urban on June 25 because he is a workaholic just like her ex-husband, country music star Kenny Chesney.

A friend of Renée's told Britain's Grazia magazine: "She's been saying to Nicole, 'You won't know till your married and it's too late'.

"She says Keith has all the signs of being a workaholic and that is dangerous for Nicole and her family."

Nicole's father is also believed to have reservations about the marriage after his acView the profile for Nicole Kidman on Celebrity Spotlightress daughter - who has two adopted children from her marriage to Tom Cruise - refused to make Keith sign a pre-nuptial agreement.

A source revealed: "Her dad is against Nicole getting married without a pre-nup, but her mum thinks she should follow her heart."

The 'Moulin Rouge' star has invited 80 close friends and family to her nuptials at Sydney's Mary MacKillop Chapel next week, and has arranged for Australian celebrity chef Luke Mangan to cook a wedding breakfast for all the guests.

What about Keith being an alcoholic, not just a workaholic, and an ex-drug addict and philanderer?

The source is some random British magazine, and most of the British rags make shit up wholesale, so we don't really believe this. It sounds like something a gossip writer would come up with.

Meanwhile some priest who claims to have advised Kidman and Urban on their wedding is said to be revealing private details about it.

The priest, Father Paul Coleman, says he counseled the Kidmans on Nicole’s decision to get married again, so that the ceremony could be a legit Catholic one. Coleman told CNS, “For Nicole, you know this is a spiritual homecoming, coming back to the church and her faith in her old parish."

Coleman claims that the wedding will not take place at Sydney's Mary MacKillop Chapel or Monte Sant'Angelo Mercy College - the two locations that have received the most buzz in the gossip world. He says that those places are not "large enough to accommodate such a social wedding." Indeed, if you count the Australian celebrity guests alone, this wedding may be the A-list event of the year. The Morning Herald reports that attendees may include Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Baz Luhrmann and Rupert Murdoch.

And while Bette Midler denied recent rumors that she would be performing at the nuptials, there may be some star-powered singing that night after all. News of the World, a British newspaper, is reporting that Keith may do some crooning during the reception.

Someone made that priest up, because no clergy member would give their real name and reveal details like that to the press. Maybe we're grumpy today, but people want to get news about the Urban-Kidman wedding and are just pulling this out of their asses.

Namibia kisses Brangelina's ass; Jen to confront Angelina?


The president of Namibia has supposedly written a personal letter of gratitude to Angelina Jolie to thank her for doing more for the African nation by choosing to pop out her baby there than his tourism budget for the next century:

President Sam Nujoma is so grateful for the way the actress and her partner Brad Pitt turned the eyes of the world towards his country, he has sent them a personal note, according to American magazine In Touch.

President Nujoma writes: "For the first time ever, our entire nation can agree on something - how wonderful it is that you chose Namibia for your special day.

"You didn't just birth a child but a new era for our new country. If we are the UN's baby, then you, as one of its greatest supporters, are among its founding mothers.

"Never forget, you and your family will always have a home here."

The President is among those attempting to push a Namibian new national day - to mark baby Shiloh's May birth.

If it's true that Namibia is going to declare Shiloh's birthday a national holiday that just seems like overkill after this over-the-top letter. Angelina is a "founding mother" of Namibia indeed. Do you think someone made this shit up? It sounds too good to be true. Of course Namibia is grateful but this letter is too much.

In related fake news, Star is saying that chain-smoking Aniston plans to confront Angelina for being a homewrecker. I totally doubt this is true.

Star also claims that Angelina wants to move back to France as soon as Brad is finished filming "Oceans 13," and that Brad wants to get married but Angelina's against it.That sounds more likely. From their e-mail newsletter:

A source tells Star that the couple will reside in the US as long as Brad’s filming and then head to Paris when he’s finished. Angelina told a friend that she likes Paris because, “French law strictly limits intrusions by paparazzi- and the locals’ attitude helps, too. ‘People there,’ she told her friend, ‘just disregard us.’” The second issue the couple has to address is whether or not to hire a nanny. Angelina says she, “didn’t have three kids so she could leave them with someone. She insists on being a full-time, hands-on mom.” Brad is determined to hire a nanny to make time for the two of them. However, Angelina “wants to show him that she can be the perfect lover and the perfect mom…If that doesn’t work, she’ll deal with the nanny question then.” Lastly, is the thought of marriage. Brad wants to be married but Angelina is against it, “To Angelina, marriage is just a formality – and I don’t think she needs it to prove her devotion.”

This is not big news since Angelina has been calling the shots and already dragged the family to her mother's native France. No matter where they go they'll be hounded by photographers, though, because there were plenty of pictures of the Jolie-Pitts when they were in Paris.

It's all well and good for Angelina to say she doesn't need a nanny when she already has a chef, maid, and personal security staff to do her bidding. It must be easier to focus on your role as mother when there aren't a ton of other things to do.

Jewel is an alcoholic


Joining the list of snaggle-tooth stars who love their drink (which only includes Kirsten Dunst as far as I know, but that sounded funny) is Jewel, who praises the merits of alcohol in a recent quote:

JEWEL has apparently gone from clean-living songbird to Robitussin-swilling lush. The Alaskan hottie, 32, reveals she recently started hitting the happy juice - and is loving every minute of her drunken bliss. "I didn't start drinking until I was 30," Jewel tells Blender. "I grew up singing for alcoholics, and it never really seemed like alcohol fixed anything. I was afraid that it would get me. Around 30, I kind of realized that alcohol really does solve all your problems. Whoever said drinking doesn't help lied. You live and you learn."

Maybe Jewel is drinking high quality vodka or taking that active charcoal stuff that prevents hangovers, because drinking a lot is really counter productive in our extensive experience.

Also, it's weird that The Post says Jewel drinks Robitussin because all she said was that she enjoys alcohol. She was probably joking and so is The Post, but she must be drinking a lot or why would she joke like that?

Here is Jewel shooting her new video "Good Day" [via] She is shown with her boyfriend of 7 years, Ty Murray, called the "king of the cowboys."

Britney changes her baby's diaper at a Victoria's Secret


Britney changed little SP's diaper at a Victoria's Secret lingerie store. She didn't try to be discreet by using one of the plushy ottomans in the dressing room and just plopped him down next the cash register. When she was done she handed the dirty diaper to the woman at the counter to throw away for her!

Britney Spears' "Eeewww!" factor is apparently on the rise. The pregnant pop tart did more than just pick up a few pink thongs at the Victoria's Secret in Mission Viejo, Calif. According to Us Weekly, she got down on the floor next to the cash register and changed 9-month-old Sean Preston's dirty diaper. "Britney then tried to hand it to an employee," says a source. "The salesperson wouldn't take it." Silver lining? No eBay-ed diaper.

She could have changed his diaper in the car, a nearby bathroom, or in the dressing room, but instead she used the floor in a high traffic area of the store. How "country" of her.

Britney shocked diners at a restaurant in early March by changing Sean Preston's diaper - right on the table in front of other guests trying to enjoy their meals.

Perry may be hot, but he's a novice in the baby department and what Britney needs is an all-purpose baby coach to advise her on safety and etiquette issues. In other words - she needs some class!

She says the tabloids are too hard on her and that they've gone too far, but she continues to make deliberate dumb mistakes.

Here are screencaps from Britney's interview with Matt Lauer, which airs in its entirety tonight on Dateline. Thanks to BreatheHeavy.com for these photos and the composite image above. They also have portions of Britney's upcoming interview transcribed.

German photographers boo Jen and Vince for not posing together

German photographers booed when Jen and Vince refused to pose together at a photocall for "The Break Up" in Hamburg:

While touring to promote thier movie, 'The Break-Up,' the couple posed -- separately -- for a mob of media in Hamburg. This fits with their long-standing tendency to not be photographed together. But the German photographers wanted a two-shot, and loudly cajoled Vince to join Jennifer under the lights.

Finally, Vince did step forward, but only with the film's director, Peyton Reed, standing between Vaughn and Aniston. This teasing maneuver only further upset the media, whose voices swelled with groans and boos.

The videographer in this clip zooms in on Jennifer's right hand, possibly looking for an engagement ring. Despite media reports that the couple are engaged, sources tell TMZ that this is not true.

People probably booed inside the movie too. Despite a strong box office showing, it's supposed to suck.

Jen and Vince may or may not be together. They were photographed enjoying dinner in Paris (above) [via] and at the French Open, but they don't seem happy or particularly into each other. That could just be how they always look, though.

They are shown at the French Open, below.

Paris Hilton Lindsay Lohan cat fight revisited


Paris Hilton saw Lindsay Lohan out at a club in NY on Monday night and started screaming at her for having dared pick up Paris' leftovers. When Lohan responded calmly and Hilton lost the class battle, she went on a full-out assault for the slut title:

PARIS Hilton is so upset that Lindsay Lohan has been seeing her ex, Greek playboy Stavros Niarchos, she screamed insults at Lohan at Butter on Monday night. Witnesses report Hilton went up to Lohan and shouted, "I can't believe you and Stavros! You are ridiculous!" After taking more insults and curses, Lohan said, "That's how you say hello? I don't need to respond to you." Lohan promptly left. A rep for Lohan said, "Correct. Paris tried to pick a fight with her and started screaming at her, but Lindsay took the high road." After Lohan left, Hilton did a striptease for N.Y. Knick David Lee, Eli Manning and a bunch of other N.Y. Giants.

Paris and Lindsay's last fight was at a club in Hollywood in mid May, and they were screaming in each other's faces. Paris was said to be upset that Lindsay was name-dropping her during promotion for "Just My Luck," but that sounded like a bogus reason considering Lindsay had already slept with two of Paris' exes.

Someone must be coaching Lohan to help her better respond to well-deserved attacks. She must love that she came off as the classy one in this latest incident and probably called her publicist right away to give the news.

Paris is back with Stavros now, which sort of explains her possesiveness of the ultra-rich oil heir. This latest round is sure to be short-lived though, so why make a fuss?

Here is Lohan on the night in question. I don't know who those football guys are, but she might be posing with one of them. I google image searched both of the Giants mentioned and it's hard to tell. It could be some random other guy. Paris is shown signing autographs outside the Regis and Kelly show on 6/12. She has a nip slip, and I was considering making that into its own post, but that's kind of common with Paris so why hype it?

Paris is also shown outside her NY Hotel on 6/12. She is the victim of MAC Studio Fix Face, which reflects light and makes her look like a barbie whose head has been switched.

Lake House premiere with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock


"Lake House" is just about the weirdest premise for a romantic movie that I've heard of. Two lonely souls live in the same artsy house two years apart and end up communicating through letters they leave in a magic mailbox. It's supposed to be as boring as it sounds and not at all romantic.

The not-quite fully baked idea at the centre of "Lake House" is an appealing metaphor for romantic destiny: Two lonely souls who live in the same house at different times begin communicating across a distance of two years.

Adoring shots of building facades notwithstanding, the story's passion is subdued to the point of absence. And even within its wobbly framework of metaphysical logic, the payoff is such a cheat that viewers who aren't punch-drunk from being pingponged between the film's two time periods will be left only with questions -- but not the kind that will bring them back for second viewings.

Even the trailer is bad:

Sandra and Keanu are cute, though, and it's too bad they're starring in such a crappy movie.

Orlando Bloom is a slut


Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth had a low-profile on and off relationship
since meeting on the set of a Gap commercial in the spring of 2002. They were said to be engaged in October, 2004, but then Bloom confirmed that he had broken up with Bosworth in February, 2005. It didn't last long because Bloom and Bosworth were spotted shopping for engagement rings in mid-December of last year. They were last photographed together at the end of May.

Bloom was seen out with Bosworth last week, but had two different encounters with celebrity sluts that are suspicious:

WATCH your back JAMES BLUNT — you’ve got competiton from ORLANDO BLOOM for my Shagger Of The Year gong.

The Hollywood actor has turned into quite the swordsman in the last five days.

He’s been seen out with three different Hollywood starlets in the space of less than a week.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star is currently dating Superman beauty KATE BOSWORTH with whom he was spotted shopping for antiques in London just last Thursday.

But it seems he’s also been enjoying the company of two more blonde leading ladies.

On Saturday, the lothario was seen getting up close and personal with Shopgirl actress CLAIRE DANES at a charity party in Northamptonshire.

They were at the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation do at EARL SPENCER’s Althorp estate, when Orlando shimmied up to her on the dancefloor.

A source at the party said: “He was kissing her neck and grinding against her. He didn’t seem to care who saw it.”

If this isn’t enough evidence of his Casanova ways, Orlando racked up his third blonde of the week on Monday afternoon.

The star was snapped leaving London’s Covent Garden Hotel, just minutes apart from old flame SIENNA MILLER.

Just a coincidence or were the old friends catching up over a spot of lunch?.

The Mirror says it's more than a coincidence that Sienna Miller and Orlando Bloom were at the same place at the same time, they were having lunch together and then left separately to avoid being photographed:

OUR spies have spotted Sienna Miller dining happily with old flame Orlando Bloom.

Yet they seemed so desperate avoid being snapped together after their cosy lunch date that they left separately.

Sienna, 24, stalked out of London's Covent Garden Hotel 10 minutes before the Pirates Of The Caribbean star.

We're told: "They were chatting in the reception when staff told them a snapper was outside, so she came out first."

Orlando, 29, who's still dating 23-yearold Kate Bosworth, was a shoulder to cry on for Sienna after she split with Jude Law last July. Wonder what Kate will make of this?

Orlando Bloom is not that hot to me, and I don't get his appeal. In these pictures taken at the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation launch party on June 19th he looks like some of the wannabe hipster programmer types I used to work with who could have used a good shower and a shave. Claire Daines is also looking pretty beat at the event. [via]

There was a rumor a while ago that Orlando gave Kate herpes. With the types he's associating with I wouldn't be surprised.

Nicole Richie and DJ AM back together for the third time?


Nicole Richie and DJ AM were first engaged in February, 2005, split up in December, 2005, and then reconciled at the end of February, 2006 and were said to be planning a July wedding.

Richie and AM split for the second time back in mid-May, with both of their reps confirming it. AM supposedly was fed up with Richie's deathly-thin look, leading him to dump the tiny socialite. She does look slightly better lately and has been keen to show it off by posing for the paparrazi in her bikini. This may be enough for AM, because he was spotted having lunch with her yesterday at Le Conversacion in Beverly Hills.

This couple is getting to be like Jude and Sienna and we're tired of them.

The first four photos below are high res [via] and the rest are smaller. [via]

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale with little Kingston


Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale show off little two and a half week-old Kingston in OK! Magazine.

NoDoubtWeb has a reprint of the OK! accompanying story, which mostly focuses on Gwen's fashion sense, how cute and likeable the family is, and the fact that Gwen plans to shape up quickly:

Since the birth Gwen, who managed to keep at the forefront of fashion throughout her pregnancy, has not let motherhood stand in the way of getting back into shape. Looking forward to motherhood, she said: 'I'm hoping my children will save me from my vanity.' But the owner of one of the most famously toned turns in the business has already started training again and was even spotted out jogging just a week after the birth. Speaking before the birth, Gwen admitted: 'I'm looking forward to my post-pregnancy diet and I'm going to train.'

Famous for bearing her midriff, there are rumours Gwen is now planning to cover up her Caesarean scar with a tattoo of roses and angels.
Gwen and Gavin's completed family comes almost 11 years after they first met and four years after they tied the knot in wedding ceremonies in LA and London. Speaking about their relationship, Gavin said: 'She's a top girl. We're made for each other.'

The couple currently split their time between their homes in Los Feliz, California and the Primrose Hill area of north London.

Gwen, Gavin and little Kingston plan to move to a bigger house in California. The home where they now live in Los Feliz was purchased by Gwen in 1998 and seems too small for the growing family.

Madonna is pissed that Britney ditched Kabbalah


Maddona is pissed off at Britney because she showed some sense for once and rejected the money pit Kabbalah cult.

Madonna spent a great deal of time and money wooing the younger singer into the Kabbalah fold, and it worked for at least a while; Spears was spotted wearing the trendy religion’s trademark red string bracelet and toting around Kabbalah books.

But not long ago, Spears publicly ditched the mystical offshoot of Judaism, writing on her Web site: “I no longer study Kabbalah, my baby is my religion.” Spears, who was raised a Baptist, has allegedly been consulting with a “Christian Life Coach” about her troubled marriage to Kevin Federline.

“Madonna spent months teaching Britney the Kabbalah system and splashed out thousands on the ancient scripture for her,” according to a source quoted by Virgin.net, which is further reporting that Madonna is demanding that Spears return the twelfth-century book on Kabbalah that she gave her as a wedding present. Madonna’s rep had no comment by press time, but the source said: “She feels she has wasted time, money and precious gifts on Brit.”

A few years ago I was dating this uber-hot but kind of slow guy. I had misgivings about him, but it was when I found out he was involved with Amway I realized I had to bolt.

Cult members are compelled to convert everyone they know. It's the ultimate insult to tell them that you're not interested in their "religion."

Madonna tried to tie her fading star to Britney a few years ago, and was flattering herself by thinking she could mold the pop star in her own crazy image. Now Madonna may have a semblance of a career back while all Britney has is her very public misery, but at least Britney didn't get sucked into a cult. Madonna thinks she has all the answers, but she leans on Kabbalah like a crutch while they get rich off her gullibility. Let's hope Britney gets her life on track soon. There are no quick fixes to enlightenment, but standing up for yourself and finding your own way is a good start.

Charlie Sheen's new girlfriend, Brooke Wolofsky


Charlie Sheen, 40, is dating 28-year-old real estate investor Brooke Wolofsky. Sheen brought Wolofsky as his date to the 2006 Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles this weekend. His publicist confirmed their relationship:

The actor, who has reportedly been looking for love on the Internet since splitting from Richards at the beginning of 2006, showed off new girlfriend Brooke Wolofsky at the 2006 Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Sheen's new woman is a 28-year-old real estate investor.

The actor's publicist, Stan Rosenfeld, has confirmed his client is dating Wolofsky, adding, "They make a very happy couple."

That's good for Sheen, and hopefully it will last for him. Now that his ex Denise Richards has shown what an attention whore she is I don't like her at all, and am kind of siding with him in the divorce.

Richards defended the fact that she's dating and possibly engaged to BonJovi guitarist Richie Sambora, saying that Heather Locklear wasn't really her best friend and that you can't help it when you fall in love:

Denise says that her new relationship was the "last thing I was looking for," adding, "it's true when they say things happen when you least expect it."

She confesses that dealing with the rumors hasn't been easy. "The thing with Heather, that's been hard ... you know you can't help who you fall for and that friendship, unfortunately, was done and wasn't salvageable."

She says, "People have gone on. ... Would you date your best [friend's husband]? You know she wasn't my best friend. She was a close friend in the last couple of years -- I hadn't known her my whole life [like] people [are] portraying this."

She finishes, "[It's] been tough having people think that I'm such a crappy friend -- because if we were friends I wouldn't be in this situation."

On rumors that she and Richie got together before their respective marriages were kaput, Denise says, "I get why people have been hurt in this situation -- you know, it's not good but it is what it is." But she stresses that both her and Richie's former relationships were over before they got together: "We didn't meddle in marriages and anything like that ... I wish everyone in this whole ugly situation the best and at the end of the day, it's not just two couples, there's children involved. And that's what's hard. My girls can't read these tabloids. Their daughter (Richie and Heather's) can. So that's hard too."

She's full of shit and that's lousy to say "oh, I wasn't that close to Heather anyway." She shouldn't go on so much about it, and just looks as desperate as she did when she dressed like a slutty majorette to perform with the PussyCat Dolls.

Here are Sheen and Wolofsky. She looks like a decent person and we'll have to see how it turns out. If she has some of the same problems with Charlie that Denise did, we'll rethink our opinion of him. He's not a saint, but he's probably not as bad as Denise makes out.

Trudie Styler shows her son's birth video at his 21st birthday party!


Sting's wife, Trudie Styler, was at her son's 21st birthday party at an exclusive nightclub in London, and had the brilliant idea to pop in the graphic video of her giving birth to him:

While many of us celebrated our 21st birthday with alcohol, Sting's wife Trudie Styler, 51, had a different idea for her son Jake Sumner - she showed everyone at his party a video of his birth, according to a published report.

Sumner's guests at privileged club 'Drone' in London last week observed as the "gruesome" film played and he was embarrassed, to say the least.

A witness explains, "Everyone was totally shocked and just didn't know where to look when Trudie put the video on. It was very graphic and rather gruesome. Poor Jake turned bright red. It was certainly the most talked about part of the evening."

But his mother claims it was quite the contrary.

She says, "Jake's a film producer now so I thought it would be an idea to show his first film role. Afterwards he groaned, but secretly he was probably quite proud of it all and chuffed we made the effort. I honestly don't think he was that embarrassed. I think it was all quite sweet."

How fucking clueless do you have to be to think it's a good idea to show a birth video at your son's 21st birthday party? That's completely insane and utterly humiliating. What a dumb excuse she gave - he's a film producer. She could have screened some home movies and everyone would have been cooing. Instead she picked the most embarassing subject behind showing the conception video. Way to ruin your son's party.

No wonder Sting is addicted to strippers - his wife is crazy! She may be up to anything in the bedroom, but when you factor in her complete lack of common sense she must quite difficult to tolerate.

Here are Sting and Trudie at the "Louis Vuitton art talks" at the National Gallery in London on 5/25 and in Cannes. Sting looks like he barely puts up with her.

Paris back with Stavros; gets sued for multi-car accident


Paris' car trouble just doesn't end. She was videotaped backing her SUV into a honda in a parking lot this weekend, and now she's getting sued for a multi-car pileup in LA. Paris wasn't driving and wasn't in the car - her cousin caused the accident with Paris' car. (If Paris was around, you would have heard of this already.) The suit claims she's legally responsible, though:

The incident allegedly occurred in May, 2004. Brooke Ashley Brinson, who identified herself at the scene as Paris Hilton's cousin, was driving the Mercedes that was registered to Hilton. The heiress was not in the car.

According to the suit, "Traffic began to slow down and all vehicles came to a stop for traffic ahead." The lawsuit alleges that the defendant's car failed to stop, causing a chain collision involving four cars. The plaintiffs, Ivan Alvarez, Monica Delgado and their child, Nicholas Alvarez, were two cars in front of the Mercedes.

TMZ spoke with the plaintiffs' lawyer, Mauro Fiore, Jr., who said his two adult clients suffered "serious injuries."

Fiore says he filed a claim with Hilton's insurance company, and was shocked to learn that Hilton had the bare minimum coverage for property damage -- $5,000. Hilton's insurance company refused to disclose her policy limits for personal injury.

Fiore says he wants $250,000 for each plaintiff but the insurance company refuses to pay a dime.

There are two other lawsuits pending against Paris. One is a $10 million defamation case filed by Zeta Graff. Paris falsely claimed that Graff attacked her at a London club in July of last year and arranged to have the story leaked to the tabloids.

Another lawsuit is by party planner Brian Quintana, who Paris called a "dirty Mexican" and reportedly harassed after Quintana is said to have told Paris' boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos III, to dump her to get back with Mary-Kate Olsen. Quintana said he would drop the suit if Paris would show up at the opening of one of his clubs. We're not sure if Paris followed through, but it means that she could avoid at least one of the three lawsuits against her, not that the careless party girl cares much.

And Paris may be back with Stavros for the third time, because the two were spotted buying DVDs together. They seem to have picked up Kathy Griffin's comedy DVD.

Since splittling with Stavros in early May she was linked shortly with NFL quarterback Matt Leinart and with the hot guy who played her love interested in her new music video.

Stavros is said to have begged Paris to take him back, and to have sampled Lindsay Lohan's spicy wares.

Here is Paris making sure the paparrazi get a shot of her new CD as she heads to a pilates class in Brentwood. [via] Paris and Stavros picture [via]

Michael Jackson could lose 2 of his 3 children


Michael Jackson's ex and the father of two of his children, Debbie Rowe, claims that Paris, 8, and Prince Michael, 9, are not Jackson's biological spawn and were conceived with the help of an anonymous sperm donor. She is battling Jackson for custody of the children, after relinquishing her legal rights as their mother in a multi-million dollar payoff.

Court papers in the odd couples' custody battle are said to offer proof that Jackson is not the real father of his two oldest children:

Michael Jackson could lose two of his children over allegations he is not their real father.

Secret court papers will reportedly prove that Paris, 8, and Prince Michael, 9, are not the biological children of the singer.

The papers, to be unsealed next month in the court battle over custody of Paris and Prince Michael, allegedly confirm the children were fathered by an anonymous sperm donor.

If this true Jackson could definitely lose custody of two of his children, and it's probably for the best. It's bound to be quite difficult for them to lose their father and the only life they've known. Jackson is completely crazy and doesn't seem fit to raise pets, not to mention three children, but it will still be awful for them. It's also sad that they will be separated from their little four year-old brother, Prince Michael II. Prince Michael II was conceived and borne by a different surrogate than his siblings, and his mother has never come forward. He was the baby involved in the famous "baby dangling" incident where Jackson hung the child draped in a blanket over a balcony in Berlin, which he claims was an attempt to let nearby fans get a glimpse of the covered tot.

Here is Jackson at MTV Japan's music awards. He is shown with his children in the other low resolution photos.

Heather Mills in TWO more porn books; denies she was a hooker (NSFW)


Heather Mills, of course, had to open her big mouth to deny that she was a high paid hooker back in the 80s and early 90s, as was reported in convincing detail yesterday in The News of the World.

Mills says she's going to sue News of the World, uh, when her divorce is final. Yeah, right. She's just threatening legal action to make it look like the story's false, but she won't take it to court because she can't prove it's not true. (I was thinking of writing "because she doesn't have a leg to stand on," and then I realized that would have been cruel. It's just a common expression that came to mind and was quickly dismissed.)

Now TWO more books have come out showing Heather nude and simulating sex . We can't wait to hear how she's going to address these pictures, because you know she's going to say something stupid trying to defend herself:

TWO more graphic publications featuring Lady Heather Mills McCartney emerged yesterday — threatening to widen her rift with husband Sir Paul.

The ex-model posed for hard core porn pictures in an X-rated US booklet crammed with snaps of sex scenes.

In the 1988 book, titled Sexual Secrets, she is seen performing a sex act, indulging in bondage and simulating full sex...

The sleeve of Sexual Secrets calls it a “photographic journey” through “exotic love acts”. The book contains no words...

Meanwhile last night it emerged that Heather — who split from Macca last month after four married years — was also pictured in a top-shelf French magazine.

It is thought she appeared in a number of graphic poses.

Last night rocker Sir Paul, 63 was bracing himself for the latest revelations. A pal said: “This will be yet another bombshell for him.

“Heather always insisted her modelling past just included a sex guide. But Paul’s since been made aware just how pornographic some pictures are. He has always thought the Press were out to get her and exaggerating her colourful past — but now he just isn’t sure. He’s not sure how much he can believe what she’s saying — even about her alleged past as a hooker.

“They’re still talking as they have to think about their two-year-old daughter Beatrice. But the conversations aren’t as amicable as they were.”

Some readers think McCartney is funding the research into Heather's raunchy past in order to avoid losing a significant portion of his estate in the divorce. This seems like the most plausible explanation to us. The papers are saying how surprised and devastated he is by all this, which sounds a bit too put-on for our taste. Reader Millie thinks that the British press might just be out for blood now that the divorce is underway. Either way, Heather needs to shut up and hide out until this passes over. She's coming off as an even less sympathetic character.

Here are Heather and Paul on the celebrity edition of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." He looks quite uncomfortable, and it is said that Heather forced him to do the show. She leans away from Paul and her body language is telling.

That video is part one of three.
Part two of "Who wants to be a Millionaire" with Paul and Heather
Part three of "Who wants to be a Millionaire" with Paul and Heather

And here are the raunchy pictures.

Tom Cruise tries to convert Angelina Jolie to Scientology


Tom Cruise called Angelina Jolie while she was still in Namibia to congratulate her on the birth of Shiloh Nouvel, but he soon tried to sneak his creepy cult Scientology into the conversation - by asking Jolie to pick up an "award" for her charity work from the Celebrity Scientology Center in Hollywood:

Cruise phoned up Brad Pitt and Jolie while the couple was in Africa to congratulate them both on the birth of their baby, but it wasn’t long before Cruise the persistent missionary man began using his long distance minutes for Scientology.

The man once touted as the “world’s greatest movie star,” but now not selling so good, reportedly urged Jolie to stop by Scientology HQ to pick up an award for her charity work.

But the former Tomb Raider made it clear that wasn’t an artifact she was interested in.

Rick Ross of CultNews.com points out that Cruise forgot that Jolie's significant other has a lot of experience with the cult. Brad Pitt reportedly dumped idiot Juliette Lewis back in the early 90s due to her involvement with Scientology.

Now that the details of the prenup between Tom and Katie have been worked out, Katie's parents are reportedly anxious for her to marry Tom and get her hands on the dough. She stands to make $3 million for every year she's marrie to the crazy half-pint, with a $33 million cap on her divorce settlement. If she leaves Tom now, she could lose custody of the supposed baby, according to an "insider," but if she marries him she stands to get some cash and has a better chance at keeping Suri.

Where the hell is Suri, anyway?!

Did Britney drive with Sean Preston in the front seat again?!


X17online, which seems to be the official blog of the X17 paparrazi photo agency, claims to have an exclusive with pictures that show Britney getting into the front seat of her gas-guzzling Escalade with nine month-old Sean Preston. As commentors note, it's impossible to tell if she sits with SP on her lap as she has so eloquently defended as a "country" practice, or if she climbs into the back of the huge vehicle to put him safely in his carseat. Given Britney's reputation, it's hard to speculate whether she would have learned yet that people are watching her and that she needs to be careful, or if she would behave according to stereotype and continue to make dumb decisions that threaten her baby's safety. We're not sure, and are posting these pictures to get your comments.

Here is also a video preview of Britney's Dateline interview, which airs in part on Thursday morning on the Today Show and can be seen in full in a special that evening. She seems really pitiful, and I wish she would just lay low for a while and try to get her identity back rather than granting an interview. Sure she wants people to know that everything is just fine with her sad relationship, but she can't keep it together and shouldn't be talking to the press.

Jennifer Aniston still looks pregnant


People are saying she's bloated or whatever, but she really looks pregnant to me. Look how she poses defensively on the red carpet, holding her hands over her stomach and looking like she's trying to hide something. I think she's wearing a girdle here but still has a bump. It's below her belly button, not in the stomach area where it should be. If you look at the candid of her outside the Rodin museum, you can see a definite rounding. I may be wishing and hoping for this, since it would make such juicy gossip considering the situation, but I do believe it's true.

Life and Style Weekly is reporting that Aniston is pregnant. Yes I know that doesn't make it true, but someone else is reporting it!

Here is Aniston at a "Break Up" screening and photocall in Germany on June 12th and at the gardens of the Rodin museum in Paris on June 11th.

Nick Lachey with Vanessa Minnillo again; probably dumped Kim Kardashian


Nick Lachey hooked up with MTV VJ and former fling Vanessa Minnillo in Atlantic City after meeting up with her at a club on Sunday night. They left together and things must have heated up quickly for the pair, because they were then spotted in Mexico together according to PerezHilton:

Nick & Vanessa are giving love a second chance and they're getting steamy!

Not only did they get freaky at the Borgota Hotel this weekend but they also just took a romantic getaway together to an exclusive resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

It is difficult to tell whether they were in Mexico first and planned to meet up at the club, or if they met in Atlantic City and promptly jetted off to the vacation spot. Either way, it looks like they're back together and that this means curtains for Nick's relationship with stylist Kim Kardashian.

Kardashian, who was linked to Nick after a romantic movie date on May 24th, has been seen out shopping and attending events with Paris Hilton. Her friendship with the flightly self-centered heiress couldn't have helped her relationship with Lachey, whose friends thought Kardshian's status as an outsider from the usual Hollywood circle was part of what made her attractive to Lachey. Kardashian's gorgeous looks couldn't have hurt, either.

This is also bad news for poor Jessica Simpson. She seems to have come to terms with the fact that it's over between her and Nick, because she may have approved of his relationship with Kardashian. Jessica reportedly sent her best friend and ex-assistant Cacee Cobb to check out Kardashian for her, and Cacee is said to have called Kim "nice." Nick and Jessica's divorce may be final on June 17th, and it looks like Nick is moving on with style.

Here is Lachey promoting his album at Lucky Strike lanes in Chicago on June 12th and at the Borgata Hotel Casino fight weekend after party on June 11th. He is shown with Tyson Beckford. The poor quality inset images are of Minnillo and Lachey in Cabo San Lucas.

Britney's Manny Perry's drunken Navy past - with family photos


Britney's boyguard and inexperienced manny, Perry Taylor, wanted to become a US Navy Seal, but a bad stint in the Navy caused by too much boozing and carousing squashed his dreams and forced him to take a career in security:

Britney Spears' 'manny' is a party animal who boozed away his promising Navy career and has no experience with kids, says his mum. Handsome Perry Taylor, 28, has been at Britney's side for the past three weeks, changing Sean Preston's nappies and pushing his stroller. Perry has even been labelled 'Britney's stand-in husband' amid her latest bust-up with Kevin Federline. Photos from his youth show the yong man patying with Lacrosse mates at The Hill School in Pennsylvannia and even kissing girls on the beach at the tender age of three on a family holiday! The young Perry loved hanging out with his pals and having fun, says his devoted mother Caroline. And on the day he graduated he even posed for a cheeky picture with a neighbor's daughter on his knee. But the former Naval cadet's mom Caroline, 61, has told how her son would prefer to be dodging bullets than photographers. Perry's first choice was to join the US Navy and become a Navy SEAL - the highly-trained elite special forces squad. But too many drunken nights out cost him his dream. Ms Taylor, a former air hostess who lives in Washington DC, said: "While you are in the Naval Academy you are supposed to do things their way. But Perry was not one of those. Only 15 out of 1,000 students get chosen to make it to become officers. That is one reason Perry didn't get chosen to be a SEAL. I could tell you he didn't make it because he wasn't the greatest swimmer, but I will tell you why - he was partying. "We are talking about guys going out and coming back in drunk on a Saturday night, that kind of thing. The things you can do in any other type of life but not the Navy.

Perry may have been a drinker like a lot of young people, but he's still ten times better than K-Fed, whose only brush with responsibility was working as a back up dancer and trying to start a career in a field he's completely inadequate in.

Britney and K-Fed were photographed together for the first time in weeks. K-Fed looked tired and uncomfortable with his family, in contrast to the calm and slightly bemused look that Perry Taylor sports when he's helping Britney with Sean Preston, which isn't even in his job description. Perry seems like a stand up guy with a regular past that isn't too embarassing.

Here are Perry's family pictures, which are a bit blurry and not terribly interesting, but you might want to see them. Thanks to BritneySpears.nu for the story and pictures.

    Heather Mills was a high class hooker who loved the ladies (NSFW)


    Heather Mills was a well paid hooker who participated in orgies and had gay and straight sex, according to sworn statements from two people who worked with her and revealed information verified by Britain's News of the World. Mills didn't just sell her body once or twice to pay the electric bill - she worked as a prostitute for years:

    In an investigation spanning Europe and the Middle East we have tracked down the former high-class hooker who partnered her for an orgy in London's Dorchester Hotel—and later became convinced that Heather's bisexual games weren't just an act for her kinky clients.

    In sworn affidavits we have evidence from the private secretary who paid Heather for pleasuring his billionaire master.

    And we have testimony from Denise Hewitt, the ex-wife of the heir to the Berkeley Homes empire, that she joined Heather for lesbian games and group sex when they were both London prostitutes.

    We can identify the madam who booked many of Heather's rich and famous clients for a 20 per cent fee.

    And we reveal that Heather's vice trade wasn't simply a moment of madness in her life. It went on for years.

    Her secret sex games with international arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi took place in Spain's Marbella and at the Lanesborough, Hilton, Dorchester and Grosvenor House hotels in London's Mayfair.

    She was paid amounts totalling £2,000 in sterling plus another 8,000 US dollars—currently about £4,400. But this was just a fraction of a secret fortune she amassed.

    Heather earned a further £1,000 for a foursome with two other escort girls and an Arab prince at the Dorchester on London's Park Lane.

    A former escort girl named Petrina Montrose, who joined Heather for the Dorchester hotel orgy, told the News of the World: "Heather was a familiar face in our business.

    "I worked with her when we were both hired for a party thrown by an Arab prince at the Dorchester."

    The 37-year-old, who now lives in Essex, said that she and Heather had been booked by a girl named Ros Ashley who also modelled swimwear under the single professional name ‘Ashley'.

    Petrina continued: "It was a really lavish affair. There was a buffet of Lebanese food and Ashley was already there with a group of about six working girls, including Heather.

    "The prince was tall and greasy and I wanted to leave but I knew that to get my money I'd have to have sex with anyone in the room who picked me. Still, Heather was bubbling over with enthusiasm.

    "All the girls separated and, after a while, a blonde girl opened the prince's bedroom door and beckoned me in. The prince was lying naked on the bed with his legs apart.

    "The blonde girl lay on the bed between his legs, then I saw that Heather was already in there too. She was naked on the bed, kneeling next to the prince's midriff. I took off my clothes and joined everyone on the bed. I knelt facing Heather and we performed oral sex on the prince. Then all four of us played together on the bed before the blonde girl who called me in had full sex with him.

    "When we'd finished, Heather made no attempt to put her clothes on. Instead she started parading naked around the room, trying to impress the prince even more. At the end, Ashley paid us £1,000 each."

    Heather's sex trade is also detailed by Abdul Khoury, who was Adnan Khashoggi's private secretary from 1977 until last year.

    Mr Khoury, who now lives in the Lebanon, has a great memory for detail. In precise language he told us: "I was responsible for organising all Mr Khashoggi's arrangements, including meetings, travel and his social diary.

    "One of my duties was to look after Mr Khashoggi's guests, which would include looking after vice girls who were invited to see him. One was Heather Mills, who I know had sex with him on a number of occasions in return for money....

    "Sometimes Mr Khashoggi would make comments to me about the girls he paid to have sex with him.

    "In Heather's case I remember his remark that she had soft skin. And she was very athletic in bed. Mr Khashoggi was always very pleased with Heather's performance."

    But Joanna wasn't. It later became clear to those in Khashoggi's circle of women that when all three of them were in the bedroom Heather had ‘tried it on' with Joanna and suggested lesbian sex—and that it was much more than a performance for the arms dealer's benefit.

    Petrina Montrose recalled: "I was told that Heather has come on to a girl in a threesome and that the girl was upset. It's completely out of order for one prostitute to make a lesbian approach to another unless it's been discussed beforehand.

    "But Heather seemed as interested in the sexual side of things—even lesbian sex—as well making money."

    [via]

    The prince's secretary goes on to reveal more specifics involving group sex and trysts Mills had with the prince over several years, with the latest being in the early 90s.

    This is incredible, and it looks like News of the World did their homework and isn't just making this up. Before Mills and McCartney separated, I remember reading gossip that claimed that Mills used to entertain rich Middle Eastern men, but it didn't get into such raunchy specifics.

    Mills is not going to escape this explosive news, and she better lay low for a while. Of course she can always claim to have been working as a sex therapist at the time - that defense seemed to have been quite effective with her porny picture book.

    She's going to get creamed in the divorce settlement with Paul McCartney now, and will be lucky if she comes away with a paltry few million to live on. She's going to have to deal with the embarassment from this scandal for the rest of her life.

    Have Kate Beckinsale and her husband Len Wiseman split?


    Kate Beckinsale has reportedly moved out of the home she shares with her husband of almost two years, director Len Wiseman:

    KATE Beckinsale’s marriage to Hollywood director Len Wiseman is shrouded in mystery after she moved out of their home into a luxury flat two miles away.

    Pearl Harbor star Kate, 32, is living with daughter Lily and house-hunting for her family while Len, 33, has remained home alone.

    A pal said: “They have barely seen each other in the past week even though they are living just ten minutes apart. Everybody is mystified but Kate seems happy.”

    Kate’s spokesman Leslie Sloan denied a split. He said: “They’re still happily married and living together.”

    The Sun is a terrible source, and they run fake news all the time, but if this is true it must mean they're having trouble at least. We'll just have to wait and see.

    One of the commentors, Agent Orange, on the board where we found the news notes that Wiseman made Kate a star and that this could be the end of her career:

    Well that's the end of her career. No one even knew who she was, until Wiseman made her a star. Reminds me of Milla Jovovich after she split with her director boyfriend. She went from the Messager, to Ultraviolet. Underworld gives Kate a head start. Incidentally, I've posted an Aishwarya Rai interview with Dave Letterman on my blog. You think that if she started dating a famous director, she might breakthrough into Hollywood??

    Kate is rather popular and we doubt this will mean that she no longer gets roles.

    Here are Kate and Len out in Santa Monica in March and April

    Britney Spears: child endangerment is "country"; her marriage is "awesome"


    In an interview with Matt Lauer to air in Thursday night, Britney defends driving with her baby on her lap, saying that she often sat on her dad's lap as a child while he was behind the wheel, and that the practice is "country":

    She drew criticism earlier this year when she was photographed with her infant son, Sean, sitting on her lap as she drove. She cautions against judging her.

    "I did it with my dad. I'd sit on his lap and I drive," the Louisiana native said. "We're country."

    In this case "country" is code for "stupid," which is sure to piss off non city-dwellers everywhere.

    Britney also defends her marriage with the absent Kevin, saying it's awesome that he's not living in the basement:

    Britney Spears says her marriage to Kevin Federline is "awesome," and scrutiny from the paparazzi has made her an "emotional wreck."

    Opening up in an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer to be aired Thursday on the Today show and Dateline, the 24-year-old singer says it's not true that Federline is living in the basement, as some media have reported.

    The paparazzi have "crossed the line a little bit" by showing her in private moments, she added. She also defended her parenting skills, saying, "I know I'm a good mom."

    It's not true that Kevin's living in the basement because he's sleeping on a friend's couch in an apartment in Studio City, California and hasn't seen Britney in weeks. In her book that's awesome because Kevin is even more "country" than she is and she's afraid he'll endanger Sean Preston if he comes back to smoke up the house again with his pals.

    It's sad that she thinks the paparrazi is the cause of her emotional state, but she should blame Kevin for that, not the hoards of photographers that follow her everywhere.

    Denise Richards thinks that looking like a 17 year-old drum major is sexy


    Denise Richards slutted it up to perform with the Pussycat Dolls this weekend. She looked more like a high school senior at an early 90s-era dance recital than a chick about to go onstage with a female band famous for vag slips.

    Richards told Page Six that she's happy that Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was born this week because it takes the tabloids' attention away from her relationship with her ex-best friend's husband, Richie Sambora. Richards was spotted with a big diamond on her left ring finger, and people are saying she's moving ultra-fast to get engaged to Sambora. Her divorce with Charlie Sheen isn't even close to being finalized.

    Sabora and Richards were spotted visiting the sites in Paris, and the NY Daily News suggests it wasn't a coincidence that the paparazzi knew exactly where they were.

    Denise Richards and Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora — the alienated spouses of Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear — continued their triumphal paparazzi tour this week in the City of Light.

    Somehow, somebody — I wonder who? — made sure a photographer was on hand to catch them snogging and clinking wine glasses at a Parisian cafe and then strolling and smiling in camera-ready bliss.

    Here is Richards with big bushy eyebrows and hair wearing a drum major outfit.

    Tobey Maguire's fiance is pregnant


    Star Magazine is reporting that Tobey Maguire's fiance and girlfriend of three years, Jennifer Meyer, daughter of Universal head Ron Meyer, is pregnant:

    Tobey Maguire and his longtime love Jennifer Meyer are getting ready for their first baby. “Jennifer is pregnant,” a source tells Star. “It’s still early, so they aren’t talking about it publicly yet, but they are really happy.” Spider-Man star Tobey, 30, and Jennifer, 29, a Los Angeles-based jewelry designer and the daughter of Universal Studios executive Ron Meyer, began dating in 2003. The couple, who share a home in Los Angeles, got engaged in April, when Tobey gave her a ring from Tiffany. “Tobey said right away she was the one, and looks like he was right,” says the source.

    “The big question for them now is do they get married now, before the baby is born, or do they wait so Jennifer can fit into the wedding dress of her dreams!” Tobey’s rep, Kelly Bush, told Star, “I do not comment on his private life.”

    We reported six weeks ago that Maguire and Meyer were recently engaged, as reported by Page Six. They were said to have visited an ObGyn together at the end of March, so Meyer is probably further along than this article suggests.

    Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Phillippe work out - ow!


    Jake Gyllenhaal and his costar weak Heath Ledger won the MTV Movie award for "Best Kiss" for their on-screen guy on guy snog in "Brokeback Mountain." Gyllenhaal joked during his acceptance speech that he told Ledger at the time that if they didn't win the award it wouldn't have been worth it. Gyllenhaal was a good sport and attended the ceremony, while Ledger stayed at home cowering from the paparrazi.

    Gyllenhaal was recently linked with Natalie Portman after he was said to be dating an Olympic snowboarder. We just don't see it happening - either one.

    Ryan Phillippe and his powerful sperm are going to star in the Iraq War drama "Stop-Loss" headed by "Boys Don't Cry" director Kimberly Pierce. Phillippe will play a soldier who refuses to return to Iraq after being called back to battle unfairly. This is a big opportunity for Phillippe and should help his faltering Hollywood career.

    We needed a filmsy excuse to publish these pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Phillippe working out with the same trainer. If only they were high resolution and we could zoom in the pics of Phillippe wiping his sweaty face with the bottom of his shirt.

    (We are totally ripping off The Bastardly's favorite expression in that headline.)

    Ailing Marc Anthony strikes out at photographers


    Marc Anthony may or may not be ill. When we say he's ailing, we're referring to an earlier story where we speculated based on scant evidence that the Latin crooner is dying. He may not be verifiably ill, but he sure acts grumpy enough to at least be suffering from an intestinal disorder.

    Anthony got in a fight with photographersat the Women in Film awards on Tuesday. When a photographer pushed him back while trying to get a picture of J.Lo he went off on the guy:

    "One photographer shoved Marc as he was trying to break through the crowd to get the photo," says a witness at the Women in Film Awards in Century City, Calif.

    Anthony exploded, "'Don't ever push me again, and step back! Step back away from them,'" according to the source. "He physically shoved one guy back."

    The snapper "briskly pushed away Marc's hand off his shoulder," but also apologized, says the witness.

    Honoree Lopez had paused for a photo op with co-host Nicola Maramotti, wife of MaxMara owner Ignazio Maramotti. But Anthony had his enormous bodyguard plant himself in front of the offending photographer's shot.

    Marc has a too-short fuse and is quick to declare his love for his diva wife. Somethings wrong with him!

    Meanwhile J.Lo has publically denied that she's pregnant. People are insisting she is, though, because In Touch says she supposedly bought a diaper bag and told Leah Remini that her boobs are going to get bigger while they were out shopping for clothing. TMZ was there too, and said it's not true since sales staff swore that Lopez had a flat stomach.

    Here is Marc doing his national duty as grand poobah of the Puerto Rican Day parade with J.Lo in tow on Saturday in NY City. [via]

    Reader Survey: Photo Hosting

    We are trying to find a solution for hosting high resolution images and wanted to ask your opinion. We have a premium account at PhotoBucket, which is the best ad-free photo host, but PhotoBucket does not automatically resize images to fit your screen. This is not an issue for Firefox users, but most of you are on Internet Explorer and probably prefer that images are resized.

    We have been using ImageShack, and it seemed like a great host because it automatically creates thumbnails with image dimensions and the ads are relatively tame. I just noticed that ImageShack launches pop-up windows, though, which are incredibly annoying. (I only noticed this when I moved to a computer that didn't have an Internet security program and would not have used this image host if I was aware of it. That other computer could also be infected with spyware which might be causing the problem.)

    ImageVenue is another solution, but the ads there are pretty racy, which could create a problem for people surfing at work or school. (So could most of the posts on this site, but that's another issue.)

    Would you please compare the photos on the following posts and let us know what you prefer?

  • PhotoBucket - images open in same window with no ads and are not resized.
  • ImageShack - images open in new window with tame ads and pop-up windows.
  • ImageVenue - images open in new window with racy ads

    One solution might be to use ImageVenue and pay a little bit for a professional account so that you're not subjected to pr0n ads. This seems like the best idea, but let us know. We'll probably add our own mild ads to the image view pages in this case to make a little extra cash to pay for the site.

    Also, if you know a good image gallery plugin for Movable Type that works with remotely hosted images, please let me know. Thanks!

    Former playmate Stephanie Adams threatens bloggers


    BlogNYC ran a story about former playmate Stephanie Adams going batshit on a cabbie and then suing the NYPD for $5 million for being rough (topless photos NSFW) while arresting her for it. Adams promptly encouraged her "friends" on MySpace to bash BlogNYC and another reporting blog. Her "friends'" comments on the post are ad hominem attacks against the author, calling him "shitty" and criticizing the fact that he dared post a recap of the story. The papers who originally reported the story must have been beyond Adams' wrath since they don't accept comments.

    Adams also sent a nasty all-caps e-mail to BlogNYC, threatening legal action if they didn't remove the photos they posted from her 14 year-old cheesy Playboy spread and dizzying mySpace. She tried to play herself off as her own shrieking publicist, but she couldn't hide behind her bad prose and caps lock.

    BESIDES THE FACT THAT YOUR ARTICLE IS CRASS AND IGNORANT, THE PHOTOS YOU HAVE STOLEN AND ADDED ON YOUR WEB SITE... ARE COPYRIGHT MATERIAL FROM PLAYBOY AS WELL AS GODDESSY AND MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY.

    YOU HAVE 24 HOURS TO REMOVE THESE PHOTOS OR WE WILL TAKE THE
    APPROPRIATE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST YOU.

    PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT
    ---------------------------------------
    WHILE 16 BOOKS RANGING FROM UNDER 100 PAGES (ONE BOOK) TO OVER 300
    PAGES IS A GREAT DEAL MORE THAN SOME UNKNOWN WRITING ABOUT NOTEWORTHY
    CELEBRITIES ON AN AMATEUR WEB SITE, THAT IS BESIDE THE CASE.

    YOU DO NOT OWN THE COPYRIGHTS TO ANY OF THE PHOTOS AND THEY ALL HAVE
    TO BE TAKEN DOWN.

    THE PREVIOUS E-MAIL WAS COPIED TO PLAYBOY'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT IN
    CHICAGO AND PLAYMATE PROMOTIONS IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING THE FOLLOWING:

    IF THE PHOTOS FROM GODDESSY ARE NOT TAKEN DOWN TODAY, WE WILL BE
    CONTACTING OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT TOMORROW.

    IF THE PHOTOS FROM PLAYBOY ARE NOT TAKEN DOWN BY MONDAY, WE WILL SPEAK
    WITH PLAYBOY'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT IN CHICAGO AND THEY WILL CONTACT YOU
    DIRECTLY.

    Poor Adams has to resort to yelling and citing her status as an author to get her point across, because she doesn't have the "capital" to sue over a critical blog post.

    Adams is an out and proud lesbian, so while she's in touch with her sexuality she's not quite as aware of her personal failings. She believes she's some kind of psychic and offers "love readings," and "tarot readings" for $100 payable by PayPal on her website. The commentors attacking BlogNYC for writing an article about her are the same people who shell out $100 to get her shouted metaphysical e-advice.

    She clearly has low self esteem. In an image caption on the front page of her website she writes "I never really cared about how others see me as much as I care about how I see myself when I look in the mirror." She's protesting too much. If that was true she wouldn't bother writing a single e-mail trying to silence bloggers.

    These are Adams' MySpace pictures. So while her Playboy pictures might be copyrighted these pictures legally belong to MySpace, not her.

    Paris Hilton is [temporarily] blind; backs into car - with video

    Paris driving with a dumb super-wide smile
    Paris' publicist, Elliot Mintz, has a great job. He has to come up with creative ways to lie and spin shit whenever Paris offends someone or is generally inconsiderate or dumb. Since she leaves the house nearly every day, he gets a lot of work. Last month he spread the unlikely story that a thief snatched a bagful of high end Mother's day gifts for Kathy Hilton that Paris was never seen shopping for. He was spotted in the firecrotch video trying in vain to do on-scene damage control. Now he's saying that Paris never left the scene of the crime after backing her Range Rover into a Honda in a parking lot, even though there's a video of the incident that shows her doing it.

    Since he doesn't have much to go on, he uses the tried and true "paparrazi defense" favored by Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears:

    Hilton backed into a parked Honda Civic on Thursday. A videotape on the TMZ.com Web site showed Hilton getting into the car, saying goodbye to someone and backing up. The sound of a crash followed.

    The video showed scrapes on the bumpers of both vehicles.

    The Range Rover stopped briefly then continued on toward the exit of the parking structure.

    TMZ.com indicated Hilton failed to leave contact information for the Honda's owner and thus may have violated laws against hit-and-run. Her publicist denied that.

    "Did she commit a crime? No," Elliot Mintz said.

    "She was swarmed by paparazzi," he said. "The intensity of the lights, flashbulbs, momentarily disoriented her. She backed up, there was a minor fender-bender. No injuries. She then told me she notified one of the parking people at the facility how to contact her and asked the person to please pass that along" to the owner of the struck car.

    "She did the correct thing and she would not leave the scene of a crime," he said.

    Mintz said Hilton is insured.

    "Paris is a very responsible and a very good driver. ... She takes her driving seriously," Mintz said. "This was unfortunate ... it will be handled appropriately."

    Notice that Muntz doesn't state Paris' actions as fact, he said she told him that she left her contact information, which is different than saying she actually did it.

    To be fair to Paris, a paparrazoa was asking her one of those dumb questions they always shout at celebrities to get their attention when she had the accident. Something like "Did you have fun shopping?" This actually works, because Jennifer Love Hewitt and Denise Richards answer those fools and have been videotaped having conversations with them.

    Here's the video. She is seen saying goodbye to Kim Kardashian, Nick Lachey's new girlfriend, before getting into the car.

    (This title is a play on Paris' song "Stars are Blind," and no offense is intended to our visually impaired readers - not that anyone would actually visit this site for the writing. We are also sorry that we don't use image alt tags because we're too lazy.)

    Here is Paris in a "Stars are Blind" promo photoshoot and at the unveiling of "Idols Of Gay Hollywood" on June 8th. [via] Notice that this site has been relatively Paris Hilton-free for over a week.

    Are Jessica Simpson and Jared Leto an item?


    "30 Second to Mars" frontman and sometimes-actor Jared Leto dated Cameron Diaz for four years until 2003, and has been linked to Scarlet Johansson, Ashley Olsen, and Lindsay Lohan. Now he's said to be romancing Jessica Simpson, because the ditsy blonde was all over him at a club:

    Jared started out a long night of partying with several male friends at chic NYC nightclub The Plumm on June 6. A source told Star, “He looked so hot! He was slim and looked really fit. Even though he was fairly incognito, the girls immediately noticed him, and he had a flock of models around him right after he walked in..."

    Another source told Star that Jared, 34, who was in a “really happy and relaxed mood,” stayed at The Plumm for about an hour, and then, after midnight, headed with friends to nearby lounge Double Seven, where Jessica, 25, was waiting. “Let’s just say Jessica was definitely expecting him!” said the source.

    Eyewitnesses said Jessica and Jared made no attempt to hide their sexy rendezvous. “Jared went right over to be near Jess, and sat down next to her. They were talking very closely,” said one source.

    “Jessica was having a great time. She was dancing and seemed to really be enjoying herself,” said the source. Things got really heated later into the night. “They were draped all over each other. And it’s not like they were trying to hide it – a lot of people inside the lounge saw them openly flirting, and couldn’t believe their eyes.

    “They looked like they were having a lot of fun together. But they didn’t kiss – that was at least one thing they kept out of public!”

    [via]

    Jared's fitness status is of interest because he porked up for his role as John Lennon asassin Mark David Chapman in the film "Chapter 27." He went on the Beyonce diet to lose weight after filming wrapped. He said he ate melted Haggan Daas ice cream to gain weight, and fasted for at least a week to lose it.

    Leto's ex Carmen Diaz is no catch, but Scarlet Johansson seems like a take-no-prisoners kind of girl, and if she dated Jared for a while he has to have some redeeming qualities - and more sense - than to get caught up with Jessica Simpson on the rebound. Simpson may be hot, but she's damaged goods for now, and needs much more attention than Leto can give her. It sounds like he's just playing the field and will wise up about Simpson soon.

    Here's Simpson at the Chrysalis' Fifth Annual Butterfly Ball 6/10 and leaving her NY hotel on 6/6. She looks better dressed outside of her hotel. Pictures [via]

    Kid Party Girl Lindsay Lohan needs a reality check


    Lindsay Lohan seemed like she was moderately improving. She didn't strike back at Paris Hilton or Brandon Davis for the firecrotch rant video, and she may have even made up with Paris depending on how you interpret the story. She also admitted to not being able to stay in a committed relationship. She came off as a sympathetic slutty character for a week or two. Then she had to go and open her mouth again.

    A few weeks ago she told Matt Lauer that she's the "hardest working person" she knows.

    In an interview in Harper's Bazaar, she takes her frenetic self perception to a new level by claiming that she's gone through more in her coke-fueled 19.75 years than most people have in a lifetime. Yeah, that's how you see the world when you're jacked up on coke.

    "(I don't) need to do any more kid movies," Lohan tells Harper's Bazaar magazine in their upcoming issue. "The word kid makes you feel like a child. Someone I dated called me kid all the time. I hated it... I've been through more than some people have in lifetimes..."

    As for her reputation as living in the fast lane, Lohan says people make too much of her busy lifestyle. "People like to think that just because I’m young and like to enjoy my life, I'm some crazy party girl," Lohan says. "I hate the term party girl – I hate it."

    "I'm in this career for the longevity of it," she adds, "not just for doing everything too fast and then running out of steam."

    These few quotes by Lohan provide a lot of fodder to rip on her.

    It's completely out of touch and arrogant for Lohan to say she's been through more than most people - not some people - have in a lifetime. She shleps around handbags that are worth more than a large percentage of families in the world take home in a year. (Disclosure: I am totally superficial and would carry these same purses if I could afford it.) Doing a lot of drugs, guys, and shopping is not in the same hardship league as not being able to put food on the table.

    In terms of Lohan saying that she's in it for the long term and doesn't want to run out of steam, that seems like a legimate concern she should have. Lohan is partying like a mad woman, and she's linked with a new guy every week. It's all well and good to say you have trouble settling down, but being known for going to the bathroom a lot and having catfights with models who date your older fuckbuddies isn't going to do much for her career. She needs to actually calm down and stay home for a while if she wants to be taken seriously. (And it's probably Brett Ratner who called her "kid," because don't all directors use that term?)

    So let's call Lindsay Lohan "Kid Party Girl" from now on. It seems to bother her much more than "Firecrotch."

    Here she is at a Cartier event looking completely sober.

    Heath Ledger cried like a baby after the squirtgun incident


    Poor Heath Ledger. First his girlfriend tells everyone how upsetting it was to him that his hot naked pictures got leaked onto the 'net, and now his dad reveals that getting squirted with water by the paparrazi made him cry all night and move out of Australia. In related news, his dad's name is Kim:

    Kim Ledger told how his heart broke when Heath called just hours after the January incident, saying he wanted to sell his Bronte home and move to the US.

    "Heath had to go into the cinema and introduce that film soaking wet. He cried all night," the automotive engineer said after the weekend's NSW Dutton Car Rally. "He rang me and said, 'Dad, that's it - sell the house'."

    Mr Ledger, who lives in Perth but bought the $4.45 million beachside home for his only son in 2004, told Heath to think about it for 48 hours.

    "Two days later he rang me back and said, 'Dad, it's been 47 hours and 57 minutes - sell the house'," he said.

    [via]

    Ledger is going to be so pissed that he dad revealed that he cried over this. Unlike Tom Cruise's angry response to getting squirted on the red carpet, Ledger was said to be "unruffled" by the incident. He must hold everything inside until it eats him up, just like his character in "Brokeback Mountain."

    Breaking down and moving out of town because some photographers get pissy with you is a response way out of proportion to the incident. He was said to have spit on the guys, so getting hit with some watergun spray is a pretty mild consequence. Maybe he'll grow up and quit being so sensitive after he realizes how foolish this makes him look.

    Why would his dad reveal that about him though? He could be pissed that he's not seeing his granddaughter much since Ledger is so afraid of travelling to Australia and getting sprayed with more water.

    You can view a recap video of the MTV Movie awards at YouTube. (Embedding is disabled or I would have posted it here.)

    There isn't footage of Alba hosting the awards in the recap video, but you can view Alba accepting her award for the sexiest role about 10 minutes into the video. She says "Thank you to all the perverts who voted for me!"

    All of Jessica Alba's promos for the MTV Movie Awards are below.

    Jessica Alba has OCD; where's her boyfriend Cash?


    Maybe being humped by dolphins skeeved Jessica Alba out so bad that she became a germ-o-phobe, because she admits to using antibacterial Febreze liberally when she has to stay in hotels:

    SIN CITY star JESSICA ALBA is so obsessed with germs, she carries disinfectant spray with her and drenches hotel bedding with the chemical. The actress admits she has a type of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and is disgusted by the thought of someone else having slept in her bed. She admits when she stays at hotels, "I fluff the sheets. I bring Febreze with me. It's an antibacterial spray and I spray everything!" When Alba appeared as a guest on THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO Monday night (05JUN06), the late night host, who is familiar with her germ obsession, gave her a special present - a portable black light. He explained, "I got you something. It's like the best gift and the worst gift. This is a portable black light. You shine this and this will show any stain that has ever been on the comforter (duvet)." "Would you want to know or not know?" A delighted Alba replied, "I absolutely need to know! I'm going to St Louis (Missouri) tomorrow and I'm going to check into a hotel and I'm going to use this!"

    It's not like Alba's staying at the Comfort Inn, so she has a serious problem if she can't trust the cleanliness at the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton.

    Alba hasn't been seen with her boyfriend, Cash Warren, in some time. She was said to have broken his heart by deciding to move to NY in the near future, and may have discouraged him from proposing to her. Commentors on Jmazone.de note that Warren may be working in Vancouver, which could explain his absence.

    Kevin Federline signs up for a sh*tload of credit cards


    Yes, I know I already talked about these people today, but this is big news - it means that K-Fed realizes that his cash flow is about to be seriously restricted, and is resorting to a backup plan of living beyond his means like an average mallrat wannabe rapper from the 'burbs:

    Kevin Federline has reportedly been signing up for as many credit cards as possible in an attempt to cash in on wife Britney Spears’ wealth before the pair allegedly split.

    The fledgling rapper is said to have been spotted in a Malibu shopping mall picking up endless credit card applications forms - further fuelling rumours the couple are heading for the divorce courts.

    Federline has also reportedly told friends he is planning to borrow as much cash as he can and then leave his unsuspecting spouse - who is pregnant with their second child - having to pay half of it back.

    A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: "He realised without Britney he has hardly any money coming in to sustain his flash lifestyle.

    "So he is planning for the future and figures Britney will pick up the bill anyway when the divorce comes through because they will have to split everything - including debts."

    Ok, so Kevin has a somewhat smarter plan - he hopes to stick Britney with the bill during the divorce. That means the big D-Day is coming, people!

    Of course Kevin is said to be jealous of gorgeous helpful Perry, who is getting a lot more positive press as Britney's bodyguard than K-Fed ever did as her deadbeat husband. He must be reading TMZ like the rest of us, because he can't get jealous of Perry in person since he's never been seen with him. He aso hasn't been photographed with Britney in over two months.

    Here are some scans from Star courtesy of BreatheHeavy.com. You can read Star's article about Perry that's similar to news we've already posted. He's a great guy and is changing Sean Preston's diapers, helping Britney around the house, and generally pissing off absent Kevin.

    Barbra Streisand is going to tour because she, uh, supports climate change


    We are bleeding heart liberals, and even we think this is dumb. Barbra Streisand says she's going to tour for the first time in 12 years to bring awareness to the causes she's interested in. And, get this, she will give "designated proceeds" to charity - her own charity. She doesn't give an exact percentage or amount of course:

    "The increasingly urgent need for private citizen support to combat dangerous climate change, along with education and health issues, was the prime reason I decided to tour again," Streisand said in a statement. "This will allow me to direct funds and awareness to causes that I care deeply about."

    The tour follows the release of her latest album, "Guilty Pleasures," last September. In 2004, Streisand marked her return to the big screen, co-starring in the Ben Stiller comedy, "Meet the Fockers."

    If you're going to give money to charity, you should say exactly how much. It's going to Babs' own damn foundation, so you think she could commit to an amount if she's going to put out a press release about it. She could earn up to $2 million a night for this tour, so it's not like she can't afford it.

    Just like Heather Mills, Barbara Streisand has a snotty "Myth vs. Truth" section on her official website. Of course she should dispute inaccurate reports, but she does it in such an over-the-top self-satisfied way that it makes her seem reactionary.

    On her website Streisand doesn't address a NY Daily News report that she didn't pay for tickets at a Malibu Movie theater with her husband, James Brolin. Stresiand sucked up to the young guy at the counter to avoid having to pay less than $20 to get in. Her publicist defended the cheapskate move, saying comping celebrities is a "professional courtesy that many theaters extend to film stars."

    Streisand will play 20 concerts in the US in October and November of this year.

    Update: I actually read through several of the "Myth vs. Truth" sections of Babs' website, and they're not that over-the-top. The problem I have is with the name of the section coupled with the riduculous design of her website. It features a pink content area on a black background and has a dumb picture of Streisand holding roses while sitting on a pink silk chair as the header image. She should shell out the money to hire a more modern designer. Oh wait - she's too cheap. Been there. Worked for those people. (Oh, I have this lovely picture I'd like to put on the top of every page. Could you blow it up too and make it the background?)

    Lindsay Lohan says the coke keeps her from settling down with one guy


    Lindsay Lohan says that she can't settle down with one guy, and tries to explain away her sluttiness by claiming she's like a guy:

    She tells style magazine Harper's Bazaar, "I've become like the guy in relationships. Lately I just cannot be in a monogamous relationship. But there are people I want to date."

    Lohan's crush on McFLY star HARRY JUDD has prompted her to consider a move to London.

    Lohan says she's not with McFly's drummer Harry Judd, and that they're "just friends," but Judd's bandmates wrote a song teasing him about hooking up with Lindsay, called "Please Please Lindsay Please."

    Here's a story about the song on E! Daily. The lyrics: "You love yourself more than you love me."

    Judd must be one of the "several men who live overseas" Lindsay's publicist says she dating. We suspect one of the other guys is Londoner Jamie Burke, Kate Moss' ex.

    Lindsay may have a good excuse for not being able to stick with one guy - she's jacked up on so much cocaine that she needs constant excitement.

    Lohan annoyed Vogue editrix Anna Wintour Monday night as a guest at Wintour’s table at the CFDA awards because, she “got up to use the bathroom to powder her nose six times in two hours,” said our spy. During the last trip, Wintour leaned over and whispered to a Vogue staffer: “Tell her, if she gets up one more time, she will never be invited to one of my events again.” Lohan’s date, Karl Lagerfeld, was then told, “Karl, this is your guest, control her!” A rep for Wintour said, “Anna was definitely surprised at how busy Lindsay was, but she offered no threat.”

    Lindsay is a busy girl, all right.

    Here she is getting a less harmful stimulant and getting out of her car. [via]

    Did Britney and Kevin spend the weekend together?


    Britian's The Sun, which we do not trust, is reporting that Britney and Kevin spent the weekend together and that Britney is upset that Kevin wants to make a movie that glorifies his psuedo-gansta past, similar to "8 Mile," except "8 Mile" was moderately accurate:

    BRITNEY Spears is fuming after discovering hubby Kevin Federline is to make a film about his life.

    K-Fed, 28, plans to portray himself in the same mould as Eminem in 8 Mile — a tough rapper who’s risen from the streets.

    But Britney, 24, fears he is going to cash in by dishing the dirt on their troubled relationship. A source said: “Britney has heard that Federline is working on a script and trying to get funding for the film.

    She is really upset. Britney fears Kevin just wants to promote himself at her expense to further his career.”

    The couple have grown increasingly distant. But Britney, above, is desperate to save the marriage before their second child arrives in the autumn.

    She and Kevin spent the night in a hotel suite in Laguna Beach, California, at the weekend — and continued talking the next day.

    [via]

    Now, if Britney and Kevin spent the weekend together, why do they mention it as an afterthought? They haven't been photographed together in over two months and this would be huge news. The paparazzi follow them everywhere and there's no way this part of the story is true.

    It might be true that Kevin is planning a film based on his life though. That sounds like the sort of thing the incompetent rapper would try. He claims to have been in a gang in Fresno, California, but he was vague and declined to give details because there aren't any.

    "A lot of my people got locked up; a lot of my people are dead. I'm not gonna sit here and get into details about what I did."

    "I'm not gonna sit here and say that I'm this grimy, gutter, gangsta. But I have been on the hustle."

    Kevin, you've only hustled for Britney's money, and that's pretty inventive of you but it doesn't really make you capable of a film career beyond the unwatchable "Chaotic."

    In related news, a couple of days ago we reported that Britney was going to design baby clothes. It's probably true because sleuths at Socialite's Life discovered that Britney has trademarked her infant son's name, Sean Preston, suggesting that she's planning a line of clothing under his name.

    Here are outtakes from Britney's magazine spread for Glamour UK. The official pictures came out in early May of this year. [via]

    Brad and Angelina are bringing the messiah to Malibu this weekend


    TMZ reports that preparations are in high gear at Brad Pitt's $9 million Malibu estate for the famous family's return to the states this weekend. A van full of liquor pulled up on Wednesday, the secuirty system was upgraded, and the tennis court was covered again to create a large play area for Maddox.

    The $9 million Malibu estate has been buzzing with workers this week. They're finishing off the security system, which includes an elaborate set of cameras pointing in every direction.

    Most telling, TMZ is told that yesterday a white van arrived at the house and delivered a "massive amount of liquor." As one eyewitness says, it was: "magnums of everything."

    The word from the crew is that the famous couple and their kids are arriving this weekend. A cleaning crew has been working feverishly this week and construction workers have been there seven days a week.

    As one eyewitness tells TMZ, the entire house is set up for kids. Before the couple left for Namibia, the tennis court was tented and converted into a giant playroom -- especially for Maddox's 4-wheel toys. The party tent was taken down after they left, but this week it was put back up.

    As for accommodations in the four bedroom house, Brad and Angelina have the master suite, and each uses a bedroom for an office. That leaves one bedroom left for Maddox, Zahara and baby Shiloh. We're told there is baby furniture in that fourth room, but the word is that Shiloh will sleep in the master suite with Brad and Angelina.

    The joke at the house is that all of Brads expensive art is now up, along with his other pricey furnishings and everyone there "is wondering what he's going to do when the kids start destroying it."

    We're told there will be a heavy presence of guards 24/7, but there's still a problem. It's a glass house -- literally -- and the paparazzi have a clean view from the ocean, where they often kayak. A solution to this issue has not been figured out yet.

    In terms of the glass house offering a clear view from the ocean, there will probably be a tarmac put up to block the paparrazi just like at the Burning Shore Resort in Namibia.

    The best part of the story is the fact that Brad and Angelina plan to have Shiloh sleep in the master bedroom with them. It's a lot easier on mom and dad to have a newborn in the same room as they can respond quickly when she wakes to nurse, and everyone will get more sleep. It also sounds sweet and like they are loving parents.

    This news seems accurate, because Brad and Angelina admitted during their Namibian press conference that they planned to return to the states within a few days. It should be a lot more comfortable in California for Brad, who was said to be fed up with the heat and seclusion in Africa. Will Angelina be content to stay in Malibu with her new family? We doubt it. Once Shiloh is a little older she's bound to hightail it to France.

    TMZ also has a video of Brad and Angelina's press conference. Angelina talks about moving to Africa, International Refugee Day, and their donation to Namibian hospitals. Brad doesn't say anything and is out of the frame until the end, when he kind of smirks and then catches himself and tries to look serious. She is pretty good at talking to the press and he seems content to let her do her thing.

    Is Jennifer Aniston pregnant?! HQ bump pictures


    Thanks to Girlzilla at Oh No They Didn't for pointing out that Aniston's got a bump! It would be just like her to go and get pregnant out of spite.

    Is she just slouching or could she really be having a Vaughn spawn?

    At first I didn't think this was true - then I looked at the HQ photos. I really believe she's knocked up. My husband looked at these photos and said "She's at that age where she's getting desperate."

    She wore a tight dress to the Australian premiere of "The Break Up" on June 5th, so she's not doing anything to try and hide it.

    Aniston seems indifferent about having children. Although she says she wants them eventually she balked when asked by Regis if she ever babysits Coco Cox, Courtney's daughter.

    Aniston's supposed boyfriend, her "Breakup" costar Vince Vaughn, told Oprah that he hasn't talked about children with Aniston and that it's a big deal for him:

    "No, I have not talked about having kids with Jennifer," he says. "I think [having children] takes a lot of focus, takes a lot of attention. I think it would be nice at some point to have a different priority in something else as you've sort of done stuff and challenged yourself, I think that time would come. But not any time in the near future for me, I don't think."

    We commented at the time that it sounds like Vince wants kids, just not with Jen.

    Here are high quality images thanks to Hollywood's Best from "The Break-Up" Australian Premiere on 6/5, press conference on 6/6, Chicago premiere on 5/29 and LA premiere on 5/22. She has a definite bump at all of these events.

    For comparison, the last row has pictures of Aniston outside "The Late Show" on 5/24. Her stomach is perfectly flat there, so there is a chance that she is bloated in the other pictures. The woman is thin and toned though, and the bump is pretty pronounced, so we are inclined to think she's pregnant.

    "Where the f**k is Suri already?!" Links


    Some people with filtering software (at least ChicMommy) are being blocked from the site. This is most likely due to keywords like pr0n in our post about slutty Heather Mills, which proved surprisingly popular. This also caused some software on our host to throw weird errors for people trying to access the site a couple of days ago. We're going to try to be less dirty in post titles.

    We also have company this week, which explains our agitated zest for muckraking along with the slightly lighter posting schedule. It's a busy summer so far.

    Shiloh baby pictures (update: HQs)


    Thanks to reader Millie for e-mailing me to let me know that I'm not Obsessed had the Shilloh baby pictures that are coming out in People and Hello!. Unfortunately they had to be taken down, but we're under the radar for now and found them on the Saving Face Forum. This family is so cute that we feel sort of bad questioning Shiloh's parentage.

    In the press conference with Brad yesterday, Angelina dismissed claims that she may marry the supposed father of her newborn baby, saying that they are committed to their children, but that "to have a ceremony on top of it is nothing." Getting married is nothing indeed, Angelina, especially when you have no plans to do it.

    These photos are from Italian Vanity Fair.

    Update: higher quality images thanks to CelebVent and originally from JustJared.

    Is Marc Anthony gravely ill?


    Marc Anthony took out a bizarre ad in Variety, declaring his love for J.Lo in the format of a film script:

    The crooner spent the money to honor his wife Jennifer Lopez, who picked up a 2006 Women in Film Crystal Award Tuesday night in LA.

    The ad appeared in Tuesday's daily edition of Variety, which charges $8,000 for a full page ad. The ad was written like a movie script, outlining a scene at an award show, describing Lopez as "the most beautiful woman" and "Lola."

    This is our theory, and we have reader Angelika to thank for the insight: something is totally wrong with Marc Anthony. He looks deathly ill, with bags under his eyes and a sunken face. We think he's suffering quietly from an illness and wants to let Lopez know in the most public way possible that he loves her. Doesn't this seem like the type of thing a dying person would do? He says "Here's to never waking up, Baby," in the ad, which could be a dual reference to the dream-like state of love and death. Unless their two year marriage is in trouble, which would be completely uncharacteristic of J.Lo, it seems like the most plausible explanation.

    We're oversensationalizing this story, though, because there were three other ads from studios praising J.Lo in that issue of Variety, and Anthony probably just wanted to add his loving regards.

    Russell Crowe is a needy manipulator


    An article in the Sydney Morning Herald discusses how Russell Crowe tried to manipulate a journalist into writing positive stories about him, with the promise of becoming his publicist. Crowe had the guy and his wife over to his house several times, initially asking him to promote his sophmoric album to his friends in the press corps. He offered to pay him for his services, but the writer, who has a family and could have used the money, refused for moral reasons.

    The journalist, Jack Marx, soon discovered how Crowe gets lauded in the press - he pulls this same buddy scam with tons of journalists, and even phones people personally to discuss negative articles about him.

    Crowe befriended Marx and groomed him to write an article about him while he was promoting "Cinderella Man." Marx initially refused, saying he was too close to Crowe to be objective. Crowe insisted though, and Marx went through with it. When the article came out and it was cautiously positive and believable instead of kissing Crowe's ass - Crowe turned on him and dumped him as a friend.

    And it was during these times that I saw evidence of something that made me wince - Crowe's bizarre propensity for nickel-and-dime media manipulation. It seemed Russell was running his own parallel, one-man PR fix-it campaign. It was much the same as my own, but he was pitching himself to journalists while I was handling his CD. He'd go through the daily papers and call journalists in person, chastising them for perceived inexactitudes. There was nothing morally corrupt about this, but I found it a silly pastime for a man of his stature. Sometimes it did him no service at all.

    He once bragged to me about how he had called a prominent Sydney gossip columnist who had been dumping on him, promising her that should she publish a positive word or two, he would grant her an exclusive interview. Like magic, a nice mention appeared in her column the following week, and the exclusive interview followed. It was doubtful, I thought, this transaction hadn't been noted by the columnist's peers, who'd consider her weak and Russell quite the meddler. If he needed an answer for why so many journalists disliked him, I thought, he need look no further.

    That I was part of this nonsense was not lost on me, and at times it troubled me beyond mere embarrassment. One evening, I discussed with Russell a particular journalist who seemed to dislike him, and I suggested some approaches that might be useful in changing the journalist's mind. With a schoolboy laugh, Russell shook his head and declared that if it were too much trouble, he'd just have the bastard killed. He was joking, of course, and we both laughed a lot. But it got me to thinking: I wondered if this had ever happened in the annals of Hollywood's history with the press. Syndicates have killed for less, and we are talking about multi-million dollar estates...

    What's more, I began to doubt whether my friendship with Russell Crowe was altogether exclusive. There were sightings of Russell taking long strolls with rival journalists. There was talk of him writing a book with another. On the grapevine, I heard of another Cinderella Man article in the works, the local journalist disclosing her friendship with Russell and telling of their late night chatter at the film star's north coast farm. I had been stroking my own ego with such industry it hadn't occurred to me that there may be other ponies on the same carousal.

    Marx's article on Crowe came out, and was praised by other writers for presenting the bombastic actor as a decent guy with regular human failings. Crowe was mighty pissed at Marx for not making him seem better than God, and blew him off with a one-line e-mail: "Yeah, yeah, whatever."

    Crowe later wrote him a longer message, completely dismissing him.

    Crowe is a total asshole, and the next time you see a positive story about him in the press, realize that he most likely called the journalist or had her over for dinner. That seems to be his pasttime when he's not abusing hotel staff, trying to pass himself off as a humble singer, or getting paid millions to act in films.

    The Sydney Morning Herald e-mailed me this story, and it was quite a useful tip. E-mail tips to info at celebitchy.com.

    Britney's hot "manny" is really her new security guard


    Britney's "Manny" is not a childcare expert at all - he's a security guard who graduated from the Naval Academy and chose a career as Britney's security guard instead of working for a private security firm in Iraq. He also has a hot girlfriend, so he can't be shagging Britney, right?

    Britney's hitherto mysterious companion is Perry Taylor, a 28-year-old Naval Academy graduate who played on Navy's lacrosse team and who grew up and went to high school in the Washington, D.C., area.

    What's more, quelling rumors that Perry may be taking the place of K-Fed, Perry's mom, Caroline, tells TMZ her son is living with a six-foot brunette (she's Perry's height) and that she's been his girlfriend for two years. Perry's mom calls the girlfriend "a bombshell" and coos she's "the best girl he's ever been with. They're really happy."

    Perry and his paramour moved to the West Coast so that Perry could pursue a career in private security. The All-American kid, who graduated from the Academy in 2000, wanted to work in security in Iraq and Afghanistan but, says his mom, "the women in his life talked him out of it." He got his current gig working for a security company, and, according to his mother, worked for another blonde celeb, whom she wouldn't name. Mom says she had never even heard of Britney Spears until her son started working for her.

    His Mom tells TMZ that he doesn't know much about babies, and is "just learning" how to care for Sean Preston. He looks like he's a quick learner to us, and he would make a great dad!

    That's too bad that he has a girlfriend, because everyone wanted to attribute Britney's personal changes to an affair with the mystery man. Reader Millie pointed out that Princess Caroline married her bodyguard, so it's possible for Britney, too!

    It looks like Britney can take full credit for her new outlook, and that might be the best news of all.

    Here is Perry getting groceries. [via] Obviously the source we quoted in an earlier report that claimed his name was "Henry" was wrong.

    Brad may not be the father of Angelina's Baby!


    The National Enquirer says that Angelina is freaking out because she had sex with someone else right around the time she conceived Shiloh and that Brad Pitt might not be her biological father!

    "Angelina Jolie has been struggling with the most explosive Hollywood secret ever! Brad Pitt may not be the father of here newborn daughter, a source tells The Enquirer!"

    Sources tell the mag that Angelina told pals she slept w/another man before getting pregnant, and now is worried that Brad may not be the baby daddy! Throughout her entire pregnancy sources say she suffered quietly after doing the math that lead her to fear Brad might not be the father. If you remember back in November, I covered a story that was featured in In Touch Weekly (check it here) that claimed Angelina's ex Jonny Lee Miller was goin' about town saying shit like he was still boinking Angelina and that Brad would be very upset if he ever found out. NE claims that Angie is totally freaked out about losing her man and desperately wants to keep him away from his ex Jennifer Aniston. She reportedly wants to pack up the family, stay outta Malibu (Jen's territory) and move it to France. If Angie has it her way, they'll be living there for years to come!

    If Brad is a cuckhold (I just love using that word) that's obviously much worse than having to deal with moving around the world at your girlfriend's whim, and he might not put up with it!

    The Enquirer could have made this up in order to move copies, but given Angelina's sexual past it's kind of believable. That's incredible! At least the baby is passably Brads for now. We'll have to see what she looks like when she grows into her features.

    Here's the latest real picture of the world's most famous couple and baby from People Magazine. (Thanks Millie!)
    The rest of the pictures come out in People this Friday, June 9th.

    Thanks to Tabloid Whore for the story.

    Is the Glam Network a big scam?

    picture of Glam.com website with the caption - is this a big scam or just deceptive business practices?
    Top gossip and fashion blogs are members of the "Glam Network," a celebrity and fashion site that partners with blogs with the promise of advertising revenue from ad placement. The Glam Network is scamming fashion and gossip bloggers into giving them massive free advertising in exchange for a small link on the Glam website and the promise of ad revenue which never materializes.

    The Glam Network lures bloggers with exclusivity and .50 cents a click. After applying to join, your blog might get approved about a month later and you're sent a lengthy contract that states that Glam will pay you .50 cents a click for third party ads, which they can swap out with ads for Glam.com at their discretion. This sounds like a decent deal and it seems better than the payout for AdSense or CrispAds.

    Glam never explains the contract in simple terms, and there are no Terms of Service or FAQs for Glam Network bloggers on their website.

    In order to finalize your membership you're required to place one Glam ad, either 160x600, 300x250, or 728x90 on your site, along with a small Glam membership logo and a 160x200 Glam "Module" which features content from Glam. Most sites choose the large 728x90 vertical banner, assuming they're getting .50 cents a click.

    Here's the relevant part of the contract:

    Glam will pay the Blog $.50 for every click through that is generated from the Blog site to the third-party advertisers site from the ad placed on the Bloggers site. When no Banners from third-party advertisers are placed in the Advertising on the Blog, Glam shall at its option, place Glam.com Banners in the Advertising unit at no cost to Glam.

    The thing is - Glam doesn't give any payout for its own ads, and third party ads are rarely, if ever, seen. It also doesn't offer any real time statistics or network blog control panel. Get this - you have to e-mail them to request statistics and then take their word on it.

    It is incredibly rare to see a third party ad on a Glam Network blog, and the Standard Blog Contract states that Glam can swap out the ads with free Glam ads at their discretion.

    Celebitchy was approved for the Glam Network and we signed the contract this week. We got suspicious after we realized that we wouldn't receive any paying ads for a while, and that there were no statistics available.

    Our contact at Glam e-mailed us:

    Yes it is 50 cents per click for non -Glam ads. We do offer a small amount [of ad revenue] for the non-Glam ads to blogs that have very high traffic. If you would like we can revisit in a couple of months and if your traffic has increased we have no problem revising the contract. I hope this answers your questions.

    I answered:

    How do I get non-glam ads?

    We take care of that for you. We rotate the ads and alternate between 3rd party and Glam ads...The higher the traffic and the better ctr rate of your blog the more 3rd party ads you get.

    When we checked, only one Glam network blog had an ad that wasn't for Glam.com. We e-mailed with a top gossip blog that gets a huge amount of traffic and they said that they've had Glam ads up since April and only saw a third party ad appear occasionally at the beginning of this month, June

    No one has ever been paid by Glam that we could verify. That same top gossip site told us that they've never seen a dime from Glam despite having their ads up since April.

    Two other gossip bloggers told us they assumed they would be receiving .50/click for the huge ads on their site from Glam, and did not realize that there was no payout for Glam.com ads.

    Glam is a much worse deal than CrispAds or AdSense because you don't get paid for every click - you get paid when Glam decides to throw you a bone, but they haven't paid anyone yet!

    Glam might continue to get away with this because bloggers are afraid of being sued. The contract that we signed states that we have to give Glam 90 days notice before removing their ads.

    We suggest that everyone who thought they would be receiving .50 a click for Glam ads remove them immediately.

    To be fair, they did withdraw our contract without penalty when we requested it a day after signing up.

    Once Glam tries to sue us for reporting this, we'll let you know. We're not going to take this down if they threaten us.

    Update: One blogger claims to have been paid "not much" in March, but another e-mailed us to ask if we'd been paid, and said "Have you gotten paid yet? Not just told how much you're getting paid, but have you actually gotten paid? I haven't and it's been over a month." We only had Glam ads up for a day, so they're never going to pay us.

    Angelina and Brad did their bit for Namibian tourism by confirming that Shiloh will have Namibian citizenship in a press conference today. They praised the medical care they received in the African nation and tried to justify their extreme security measures. They also said they're coming back to the states in just a few more days:

    The Hollywood glamour pair spoke to local journalists at a press briefing at the four-star Hansa Hotel in Swakopmund at the edge of the Namib desert where Jolie gave birth by Caesarian Section.

    "We couldn't have picked a better place to have our child," said Jolie, looking healthy and relaxed in a black dress. Pitt agreed: "We are very proud that our daughter was born here".

    Pitt said the couple had "done their homework" before deciding on Namibia as the birthplace of their first biological and third child.

    "The health of our daughter and Angie's was imperative. We've had absolute top-notch medical assistance," Pitt said.

    The couple reiterated their gratitude to the people of the sparsely populated country, which has come under intense media interest since their arrival two-and-a-half months ago.

    "We are eternally grateful to the Namibian people," Pitt said. "Namibia is one of Africa's best kept secrets - until we came of course."

    The couple had been "afforded a lifestyle here we could not have anywhere else" and that Namibia has been "a wonderful place to be with our kids."

    The couple said they planned to remain in the country for just a few more days before returning to the United States. "Just a few more days. My mother is dying to see the baby," Jolie said.

    On the tight security around the couple, Jolie said they had wished this had not been necessary but felt "the birth should be done in a way that was peaceful."

    Pitt explained that having "a child with a bounty on its head" before its birth, had brought about the need for bodyguards to shield the family.

    Pitt said he's going to work on "Oceans 13" next, while Jolie will concentrate on her role as a mother.

    Our favorite reader Millie says of these pictures that Angelina "looks fantastic and is clearly breastfeeding." We agree. To borrow an expression from The Bastardly, Ow!

    Angelina and Brad are shown with Namibian first lady Penehupifo Pohamba, regional governor Samuel Nuujoma and Child Welfare Minister Marlene Mungunda.

    Thanks to Hollywoods Best for these photos and Just Jared for the interview text.

    Heather Mills got it on with the guy she posed with in the porny "Lovers Guide"


    Heather Mills says that sex book she posed for in the 80s wasn't hardcore porn at all - it was just an innocent "Lover's Guide" meant to help frigid Germans better connect with their significant others.

    It seems like the poses in the book are effective, because the guy she's pictured with says he made sweet love to her afterwards:

    LADY Mucca’s partner in porn is set to tell the world they had passionate sex over and over again after the cameras stopped clicking.

    The curly-haired male model is hoping to bag thousands of pounds by selling his story of how he did it for real with Heather Mills.

    His move will heap yet more shame on Sir Paul McCartney’s estranged wife — mother of his two-year-old daughter Beatrice.

    Yesterday it emerged her divorce settlement from the former Beatle could be slashed.

    Lawyers for 63-year-old Paul are bound to cite her pornographic past as grounds for his payout — until now estimated at £200million — to be reduced.

    Heather, 38, suffered a THIRD knock as it was revealed top shelf men’s magazines are preparing to publish some of the filthiest images from her photo shoot with the male model.

    There's also no way that book is just a how-to manual, since there is no text in it that would add even a smidgeon of legitimacy to Mills' claim.

    The Sun asked everyday people to review it for uh, educational content, and they were unanimous that it's porn:

    Shown pages of the German book, called The Joys of Love, catering worker Madeline Johnson said: “It’s just too rude to be a guide — the pictures show everything.” Madeline, 30, of Clapton, East London, added: “It would have some sort of text if it was meant to be educational. It’s definitely porn.”

    Journalist Ruth Lumley, 26, of Brighton, said: “Blimey, I’ve never come across a ‘sex education’ book that has whipped cream in it.”

    Facilities manager John Bertram, 52, of Manchester, said: “It would need more text and less in the way of edible undies and thongs. In this situation Heather is definitely a porn star.”

    Printer Andrew Love, 42, of Basildon, Essex, declared the book “fairly hard core”.

    And engineer Stuart Lye, 31, of Chingford, Essex, said: “After ten pages it’s clear you’re not going to learn much with all these whips and things.”

    The more details we learn, the more it seems like the leak of these dirty pictures is definitely beneficial to Sir Paul, even if he didn't get joint custody of his daughter.

    Jennifer Lopez: still not pregnant, still married to skeletor


    I'm starting to feel sorry for Marc Anthony. Not only is he married to Jennifer Lopez, he also looks like he's suffering from an intestinal disorder or is addicted to heroin. He really needs to take some vitamins and do a liver cleanse. Maybe J.Lo feels sorry for him too, which would explain the record-breaking nearly two year length of her latest marriage. Or she could just be such an ambitious woman that she refuses to give up on Anthony's sperm. She might think that since he already has three children he's got to have it in him to produce one more, even if he looks like he's at death's door.

    TMZ quotes a boutique store employee as saying that Lopez still had flat abs when she shopped there with her new friend Leah Remini last week, and The Post Chronicle claims that J.Lo told an insider that the paparrazi are following her constantly because they think she's pregnant. According to a thinly veiled work of fiction about J.Lo, she deliberately tries to get the press to think she's pregnant for publicity purposes.

    In these latest photos if her leaving the gym with Leah Remini [via] and at the 2006 Crystal & Lucy Awards, [via] she doesn't look pregnant at all.

    Jennifer Aniston bawled like a baby 'cause she can't have one


    Jennifer Aniston is said to have broken down in tears upon hearing that little Shiloh had seen the light of day. This sounds like crap someone would make up, and I have very little faith in the British rags, so take it for what it is:

    Aniston, 37, tried to be brave about the news, which broke two weeks ago, by calling Pitt's mother Jane to send her best wishes.

    But pals are concerned the former "Friends" star is still traumatized over Pitt's new life with Angelina Jolie.

    Aniston's friend Tiffany Laws tells Britain's Star magazine, "Jen just burst into tears.

    "She tried to cover it up in front of Vince but he assured her it was OK to cry.

    "Jen called Brad's mom to offer her congratulations but couldn't get through.

    "I think she had the feeling, 'That could have been my baby.'"

    This could be true, but it's too personal for a friend to blab about to some random British gossip rag and we doubt it.

    Jen may say she wants children but she balked when asked by Regis if she ever babysits Courtney Cox's daughter, Coco, practically shouting "No!".

    The good news for Jen is that her career may be salvaged even if she is indifferent and infertile. "The Break Up" did much better than expected at the box office and bested "X-Men 3" despite terrible reviews.

    Here she is at a press conference for "The Breakup" in Sydney. Thanks to Hollywood's Best for these photos.

    Kevin Federline's homies deny divorce rumors


    TMZ has a report stating that one of Kevin Federline's boys has denied the rumors that Kevin and Britney are headed for a divorce:

    TMZ hit the pavement in the San Fernando Valley where Kevin Federline hangs with his friends at an apartment complex in Studio City, Calif.

    One friend, decked out in baggy pants and sunglasses, claims the talk of divorce is false. "Everything you read in the tabloids about their relationship is fabricated," the buddy said, claiming "They're still together."

    Others interviewed at the complex agreed that the divorce talk is off base, but no one would agree to officially go on the record with a quote.

    Kevin's staying in an apartment in California and hasn't been spotted with Britney in 74 days according to Us Weekly's counter. His friends are quick to say he's still with Britney but clearly he's not. Whether she's filed and signed divorce papers yet is another matter.

    The National Ledger points out that Kevin's friends may say he's still with Britney but that Britney and K-Fed's publicists aren't saying a word. Kevin's publicist put out a press release when he donated his hair, so you know if he's still with Britney they would be all over that.

    Here is Britney at an Orange County resort yesterday with her manny, Henry.

    Britney hits the gym; wants to design baby clothes


    Britney Spears was photographed working out on Monday! She was even wearing makeup. This is good news for Britney. She's learning to drive stick, has a new car and a new male nanny and may be divorcing Kevin finally. Now that she's working out you can be sure that she's getting out of the rut she's been in since hurting her ankle in 2004 and shacking up with K-Fed.

    Britney is said to be planning to design her own line of baby clothes a la Gwen Stefani. She's reportedly bored and doodling sketches for an infant fashion line aimed at high-end boutiques:

    According to The Sun, he pregnant singer said: “I’ve spent so much shopping for Sean I thought, ‘I could do that and have people paying me a fortune.’”

    A friend of Britter’s added: “She’s had a lot of time on her hands where it’s just her and Sean and she would doodle designs. She’s really creative and loves doing it.

    “She’s designed a little punk rock outfit, a hip hop outfit and a sharp suit. They’re so cute! I think she’ll try and get boutiques to sell them. She doesn’t want to fund it herself.”

    Britney has terrible fashion taste, but people are going to market and buy that crap if this story is true. My son has several outfits that people have bought him with ears and tails on them. It's not like you can humiliate a baby by dressing him in dumb clothing. Babies are just about the only demographic that Britney can safely design for.

    Here she is at the gym. Thanks to breatheheavy.com for these photos, which were supposedly taken two days ago on June 5th.

    Heather Mills gains full custody of her daughter


    Heather Mills McCartney denies that the porny pictures of her that came out this week are hardcore, stating instead that they were for a German "lover's guide" to help couples spice up their relationship:

    A letter sent to The Sun editor Rebekah Wade reads, "This photo shoot, undertaken approximately 20 years ago, was for the purpose of a 'lover's guide' to caring relationships and instructive sex in the same way as are many other books on the market.

    "The photo shoot was not pornographic or for the purposes of gratification of the viewer."

    She can't deny that it's her or that she's performing simulated sexual acts for the camera. It's a clever defense that shouldn't do much to stem the embarassment from the photos. She can always add this to the nasty "Fact vs. Fiction" section of her website for posterity.

    McCartney is said to be "devastated" by the explicit pictures of Mills that were published in The Sun, and may have discussed them with Mills on Monday:

    "This has come as a real shock to Paul and those around him. He is beside himself over the whole thing."

    "His priority is making sure his daughter Beatrice's best interests are looked after."

    Meanwhile one of Heather's friends said that she was advised against having a baby due to medical limitations and that she only had two and a half year-old Beatrice to please Paul.

    Despite fleeing to Yugoslavia recently without her child, Mills has gained full custody of her daugher, with visitation rights for McCartney.

    Heather plans to appear on Larry King Live to give her story about the breakup. We can't wait.

    We also wonder if her "Life Balance" book will be released next month as scheduled. Releasing a preachy self help book during her high profile divorce won't make her a hypocrite or anything.

    Why does Shiloh have teeth? (update: pics are real, anyway)


    Thanks to commentor Tink for pointing out that Shiloh has teeth in the picture of her on the cover of "Hello!" magazine that came out today. This means it's probably a clever PhotoShop job. I couldn't find any pictures of Angelina looking down like this, but if you've seen a similar image that could have been used to make this composite please let me know.

    According to BabyCenter, only 1 in 2,000 babies is born with teeth:

    Only one in 2,000 babies is born with teeth, though. The vast majority sprout their first tooth between 4 and 7 months of age.

    It's possible, but improbable that this picture is real. If this is a real photo, Shiloh is rarer than we thought.

    Update: Thanks to everyone who commented and pointed out that:
    a) Teeth in newborns is not that rare
    b) This could be camera glare on the baby's gums, which may be calloused from breastfeeding
    c) These pictures are real because everyone's getting cease and desist letters to pull them. (Except for me, since I'm under the radar. Maybe next week they'll threaten me. In the mean time, I have no clue.)

    Spice Girls may actually do a reunion tour (update: not true)


    There's been a lot of talk about a Spice Girls reunion. Last we heard it wasn't happening because the most successful former Spice Girl, Melanie C aka "Sporty," was holding out since she actually has a music career and this could harm it. Now they're said to be releasing a new single and planning a tour:

    The Spice Girls are reportedly releasing a new single to mark the 10th anniversary of their first hit.

    The former girl group - Posh Spice Victoria Beckham, Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell, Sporty Spice Mel C, Scary Spice Mel B and Baby Spice Emma Bunton - have already recorded the track, named ‘Woman’.

    They are reportedly releasing the song in July, to mark ten years since their debut, ‘Wannabe’, reached the number one spot in the UK.

    The girls are also said to be planning a reunion tour - and may even release more new material if ‘Woman’ is a hit.

    A source told Britain’s News of the World newspaper: "They are planning their tour but wanted a new song to mark their return. If it goes well they’ll look to release more material."

    If that's true it's good news for new mom Geri Halliwell. She's been begging her friends for a place to stay in the countryside with her newborn, Bluebell Madonna. She says she can't afford her own house, but Hello! magazine reportedly paid her six figures for the first photoshoot with her newborn.

    Update:: Reader Margarita points out that the single "Woman" is from 2000, meaning this news is old and not true. They were said to be talks for a reunion tour, but it was a no-go due to Sporty's reluctance to join the project.

    Real picture of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt


    Thanks to MollyGood for landing this picture of Shiloh Nouvel before anyone else that I've bothered to check.

    These first pictures of the world's most famous baby launched a bidding war at Getty Images, with representatives from celebrity magazines staying up all night to get a chance to buy the images:

    All the weekly magazine editors were summoned to the offices of the Getty photo agency at Canal and Varick late Saturday night. "We were sequestered into separate and un-air-conditioned offices," said one. "The photos were shown to us around 10 p.m. to midnight, and then we had to submit bids by 6 a.m. Sunday morning. No one got any sleep at all, as it was a manic game of phone-tag to top each other's bids. I'm convinced it was Brangie's revenge on the weekly magazines." The pictures went to People for $4.1 million.

    For now we just have a low res cover of "Hello." The rest of the pictures are sure to come out in ten minutes or so.

    Update: slightly bigger version from Just Jared.

    Matthew McConaughey is a hero


    Matthew McConaughey sometimes lives in an airstream trailer, doesn't use deodorant, and has been involved in several well-documented incidents of heroism.

  • He Saved a cat from being burned alive by cruel children.
  • He rescued a baby from a coyote.
  • He also gave mouth to mouth resuscitation to a woman who had fainted, and then called her afterwards on her 50th birthday.

    In this latest story of McConaughey's giving spirit, he hung out with a bunch of young people with cerebral palsy and was kind, patient and cool with them. OMG I love him!:

    Last week, a class of disabled children from Laurel Ridge Elementary School in Decatur (GA) were enjoying a picnic at Stone Mountain Park when McConaughey jogged past. When he saw the kids, he stopped by to chat with the students and their teachers.

    According to Laurel Ridge Elementary principal Mark Gordon, McConaughey told them he has a relative with cerebral palsy and was able to “talk” with the kids who rely on communication devices.

    We’re told that before resuming his run, the actor even helped to load the school’s coolers back on board the bus.

    Noted Gordon in an e-mail: “The teachers really enjoyed it!”

    [via]

    That's awesome and what a shame that McConaughey is single now. ;)

    Is there any hope for Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's relationship?


    Jessica Simpson has been seen out looking unhappy and disheveled, and people suggested that she's been seeing a therapist. Jessica has admitted to psychotherapy in the past, making it likely that she's getting professional help during a difficult divorce.

    When she was photographed leaving a medical clinic on May 29th she may have been seeing a doctor, not a psychiatrist as was suggested. A source told Britain's OK magazine that Simpson underwent testing for a stomach ulcer. There is no word as to whether she suffered from an ulcer or was treated for it.

    As Jessica and Nick get closer to reaching a settlement in their divorce Life and Style is reporting that Jessica has been calling Nick for long conversations late at night. She's been known to drink and dial, so this could be true:

    "There's definitely a closeness that's developed recently," a friend of the couple tells Life & Style. "Things that used to burn them up, like who cheated and why, aren't that big of a deal anymore," another insider tells the weekly magazine.

    The report claims that the pair are no longer fighting but spending late nights chatting on the phone and having tearful bedroom confessions about what went wrong.

    L&S even consults Robert Butterworth a psychologist that tells the magazine that these types of last minute doubts are common. "People often file for divorce in a moment of anger then start remembering the good times as the reality of life without the other person sinks in, Butterworth tells the magazine.

    The divorce could be final in just two weeks.

    Nick and Jessica have gone back and forth trying to reach a divorce settlement, with Jessica most recently offering Nick an insulting $1.5 million, which he declined. He is entitled to half her earnings during their three year marriage, and she is said to have made $30 million last year.

    If this report is true about Nick and Jessica talking frequently, Nick must realize that Jessica is letting her father Joe run the show as usual and is not responsible for trying to low-ball the divorce settlement.

    Nick has moved on to a gorgeous new brunette, Kim Kardashian, while Jessica is single after being dumped by Maroon 5 frontman, Adam Levine. We think Nick feels for Jessica but that he's not going to get back together with her.

    Here's Simpson at the CFDA fashion awards in NY last night. She seems happier, and it may be because she's hanging out with her hairdresser, Ken Paves, who is visible is in the background. She looks a lot like Eva Mendes with her hair up like that.

    Isla Fisher at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards


    30 year old Isla Fisher is an Australian actress, model, and author. She is best known for her appearance in "Wedding Crashers" as Rachel McAdam's clingy sister, Gloria Cleary. She won the 2006 MTV Movie Award for "Best Breakthrough Performance" for that role.

    Fisher is engaged to the hysterical Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Ali G.

    Here's a little more about Fisher:

    She played Shannon Reed, a fiery, opinionated teenager, on Australian soap Home and Away from 1994-1997. During this time, she wrote two books, Seduced by Fame, about an ambitious aspiring actress whose dreams come true when she wins a role on her favourite show, and Bewitched, about a naive ballerina who searches for her father and falls in love for the first time. Most recently, she starred in Wedding Crashers with Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Rachel McAdams, and won praise for her comedic performance in the movie. In June 2006 she collected the Breakthrough Performance prize at the MTV Movie Awards for her role in Wedding Crashers. In 2006 she starred as Becca, a Manhattan party host in the offbeat relationship drama London alongside Jessica Biel, Chris Evans and Jason Statham.

    Of Scottish parentage, Fisher now resides in England with her fiancé British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G).

    Isla's acceptance speech at the MTV movie awards must have been excellent. She is quoted as saying: "For most people, playing a bipolar nymphomaniac would have been a challenge, but I just played myself."

    "Wedding Crashers" was the big winner at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards, taking home the golden popcorn for best picture and best on-screen team for Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.

    Here is Isla at the MTV Movie Awards, which airs this Thursday night. [via]

    Katie Holmes doesn't get much time with Suri


    There's a report in Life and Style that Tom Cruise is upsetting Katie by putting baby Suri on a "Baby Einstein" regimen geared toward helping the newborn infant become a genius. "Baby Einstein" is based on psuedo science and isn't effective, but Tom Cruise believes that vitamins can cure depression so it's understandable that he would fall for their marketing.

    What's most telling about the article is the fact that Tom is dictating the care of the baby and Katie's time with Suri is limited:

    The friend also tells the magazine the battle has spread to the infant's toys which reportedly have now been shoved into a corner to make room for pile of the "genius" toys.

    The friend also details - according to the report - that Katie believes this may be pushing the two-month old infant too far and Tom may be expecting too much.

    "Just when Katie thought things were settling down, now she has to deal with flashcards and DVDs," the friend tells L&S.

    "Her quiet time with Suri has been reduced to only a brief period before bedtime."

    Babies learn by interacting with others. "Baby Einstein" offers a decent collection of DVDs to pop in if you need to take a shower or get a break from your baby, but they are not educational, according to most experts. Poor Suri and Katie need to spend time together playing and relaxing, but if this is true Tom is imposing his manic over-the-top expectations on his tiny newborn.

    This may be made up, though. People seem to like to invent stories that make Tom seem like the Napoleon character he comes off as in interviews.

    Suri may be made up too. We haven't seen pictures of her yet, and the paparazzi hasn't managed to score a single candid - even far-off - of the newborn. Katie Holmes was said to have brought Suri to Ohio with her to visit her family. If that's true, she must have brought the Scientology security force along too, because resourceful photographers didn't get a single snap. We've already seen Kingston Rossdale wrapped up leaving the hospital, and Shiloh's pictures are coming out in People soon. What the hell is going on with Suri?

    Our readers think the Scientologists are holding back pictures and media coverage of the little one due to their arbitraty belief system, and that may be true. No Scientologist "friends" of Cruise, like Kirstie Alley, John Travolta or Kelly Preston have visited the newborn or vouched for her existence. We just wonder if she's real.

    Paris Hilton's "Stars are Blind" Video is good; download her other music

    Paris Hilton's record company is trying to keep up with the Internet leak of her music, and made an announcement to the music industry that they would begin shipping her first single, "Stars are Blind," on Monday, June 5th.

    This song is catchy bubblegum pop and I can actually stand it. It doesn't get stuck in your head for too long, and it's enjoyable. The rest of her music that's been leaked is pretty bad, though:

    Here's the "Stars are Blind" Video:

    And here are samples of more of Paris' music. We've posted these before, but you may want another chance to wince:

  • Download "Fighting over Me" (mp3)
  • Download "Heartbeat" (mp3)
  • Download "Jealousy" (mp3)
  • Download "Turn You On" (mp3)
  • Download "Turn It Up" (mp3)
  • Download "Stop Us Tonight" (mp3)

    Maybe they'll be significantly reworked before they're released. Producers should hurry - now that the first single is out they don't have much time.

    Is Brandon Davis making Lindsay Lohan cum freckles?


    Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton made up at a party, with Paris later calling Lindsay "sexy" for good measure. Lindsay may have also made up with her verbal attacker, Brandon Davis, in spades, because his grandmother claims she's dating him:

    IN a desperate bid to extinguish the "firecrotch" furor that has burned the oil-rich Davis dynasty in Beverly Hills, family matriarch Barbara Davis is telling friends that her bratty grandson, Brandon Davis, is now dating Lindsay Lohan, the subject of his vulgar tirade last month.

    At sappy saxophonist Kenny G's birthday party in Malibu Saturday, Barbara [Brandon Davis' grandmother] was overheard inexplicably telling party guests, "Brandon is dating Lindsay now!" A rep for Barbara agreed, telling Page Six that Brandon took Lohan out to dinner last weekend.

    But chief Lohan-dler Leslie Sloane responds that Davis has gone daffy: "It is unfortunate that Barbara Davis is desperate enough to make up a lie about Lindsay dating her grandson.

    "Lindsay took the high road and accepted Brandon's apology last week, but they are not dating and they did not go to dinner together.Lindsay is dating several men who live overseas." (That's several men, lest any of Lohan's foreign suitors think they have the freckle-faced phenom all to themselves.)

    That's hysterical. Old people get confused and think that youngsters are dating whenever they hang out together. In Lindsay and Brandon's case they're probably just fucking.

    Lindsay's publicist says she's dating "several men," though, so how can she keep up?

    Here's Lindsay with Karl Lagerfeld at the CFDA fashion awards and with Kevin Klein, Meryl Streep, and Lilly Tomlin at the Prarie Home Companion premiere. She is shown with her little sister at the movie's after party. [via]

    American Idol runner up Katherine McPhee, 22, is dating 41 year-old Nick Cokas. Cokas is a broadway performer and met McPhee when they were performing in the musical "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" in Hollywood from May - July, 2006.

    It wasn't easy to dig up information on Cokas. He's the co-founder of Zenith film group, which produced a play called "Red Herring" for the NY Fringe Festival this year. He was also in the cast of "Mamma Mia!" in Las Vegas.

    You might call Cokas McPhee's sugar daddy since he's so much older, but it's doubtful that he's loaded. People suggest that Cokas bankrolled McPhee's Louis Vuitton luggage set, but how much money can the guy have if he's a broadway actor? His production company doesn't have a lot of work to their credit as far as I can find. Maybe his business ventures are more profitable than I can assess through Google.

    He dresses pretty normal and his watch doesn't look expensive from these low-res photos. They probably have a lot in common and enjoy each other's company.

    Here are McPhee and Cokas in NY this weekend. Pictures [via] and [via]

    Josh Harnett says he's still with Scarlett Johansson


    Josh Harnett's people have denied that he has broken up with Scarlett Johansson, as has been widely reported. Hartnett has been seen out with several different women, and people assumed that he had broken up with gorgeous Johannson, but his reps say that's not true:

    Hartnett has been rumoured to have been out partying with a string of blonde girls in recent weeks.


    A spokesperson for the 27-year-old Sin City star told the New York Daily News that the couple "are still together".

    The couple met on the set of their forthcoming movie, The Black Dahlia, in Bulgaria.

    Hartnett was said to have broken up with Johansson back in late March, but they were spotted leaving a NY spa together after a couples' massage about a week later.

    Hartnett made a reference to his relationship problems in a video interview aired on TMZ in late March, saying:

    "There's always room to grow. There's just a lot of stuff to do, and you can't be the best at relationships already at 27."

    For her part, Johansson is quoted as saying in January that she doesn't think "human beings are monogamous creatures by nature."

    It sounds like Scarlett and Josh are having the type of on-again off-again relationship that is common with urban 20-somethings.

    Here is Johansson at the CFDA Fashion Awards at the NY Public Library last night. She is pictured with Kerry Washington and Terrence Howard. [via]

    Is Brad Pitt jealous of Angelina's bodyguard?


    Brad Pitt may be jealous of the former murder suspect who is running Angelina Jolie's security force. Angelina calls the head of her security team, Mickey Brett, her "rock," and seems to relinquish control to the man who has been her bodyguard since 2001. She's supposedly even asked him to be Shiloh's godfather:

    The 42-year-old actor is reportedly angry the mother of his new daughter has been spending so much time with her burly minder Mickey Brett, 49, who she describes as her "rock".

    Brett has been protecting the 'Tomb Raider' actress and the couple's adopted children - Maddox, 4, and 16-month-old Zahara - during the family's stay at Namibia's Burning Short Lodge where Angelina prepared for the birth of new baby Shiloh Nouvel.

    A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "It's a platonic relationship but Brad gets jealous because she lets Mickey help her out of cars and allows him to tell her to rest up - something he isn't allowed to do."

    Angelina, 30, has asked the minder, who she sees as her baby's spiritual guardian, to become godfather to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.

    The source added: "Angelina is a tough woman who hates guys patronising her but there's something about the way Mickey looks after her that she likes."

    [via]

    If that's true it doesn't bode well for Pitt, who's been widely blasted for serving as Angelina's nanny, adopting her hobbies and interests, and generally catering to her every whim. Angelina may seem like she wants a "yes" man, but wimpy guys are easily discarded. Brad may look like less of a man when compared to a tough security guard who can set limits with Angelina.

    Mickey Brett is considered a thug and is said to be responsible for the heavy-handed tactics of the Jolie-PItt security force in Namibia. Journalists have been followed, threatened, and beaten senseless for trying to get pictures of the famous family. Brett was suspected in the 1993 hiring death of a British tycoon, but was eventually cleared of charges due to lack of evidence

    Pitt is said to be fed up with the heat and seclusion in Africa, and it's reported that he plans to move the family back to the states in early July so that he can start work on "Oceans 13."

    Here are pictures of Pitt taken in NY about a year ago. [via]

    Heather Mills McCartney's porn past (mildly NSFW)


    Heather Mills McCartney, 38, is estranged from her husband Paul McCartney, 63, due in part to her jealousy over his extreme fame. She was a "model" before she met him, and gained notoriety after losing her leg in a road accident in 1993.

    Britain's The Sun has dug up porny pictures of Mills that were published in a German book:


    The ex-model was snapped in a string of lurid scenes for a hard core German book.

    Many of the images are too explicit to print in a family newspaper.

    One shot shows Heather naked and smothered in baby oil as she performs a sex act on a nude male porn star. The curly-haired man is then photographed performing an act on her with the help of a sex toy...

    In other scenes, Heather and the man appear to have sex and perform sex acts while watching themselves in a mirror. And in yet more, Heather ends up naked during a game of strip poker.

    [via]

    A friend of mine thinks that these photos were released by Paul McCartney's people in an effort to discredit Mills before her high profile divorce is underway. We just think The Sun is crafy and wants to sell papers.

    Heather is said to have fled to Yugoslavia to escape the press after news of her split with Paul McCartney. She was said to be planning a return to modeling, but we bet that will be put on hold now that these pictures have come out.

    Here are some more pictures. You can get topless versions on The Sun's website. They look pretty tame, but suitably embarassing and scandal-worthy.

    Did Angelina Jolie need to have a C-Section due to herpes?!


    This sounds completely fabricated, but a supposed 20 Century Fox "executive" says that Angelina Jolie gave Brad Pitt STDs while they were filming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." He goes on to speculate that she needed a C-Section due to herpes

    "So I had to contribute a tid bit I heard when I was working for 20th Century Fox (in an executive position that will go unnamed) ... we produced 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'. Angie and Brad were indeed having sex on that film, and she apparently gave him some STD's, and that's how Jennifer Aniston first found out ... If you are young, like Angelina Jolie, and healthy, the reason for c-section is almost always herpes. Jennifer Garner is another herpes mom, Madonna another. Both delivered small babies by c-section. Katie Holmes is another."

    This would have been partially believable if it were not for the fact that the writer speculates that most all celebrities who had C-Sections recently did so due to herpes. Unnecessary C-Sections are incredibly common, and Angelina's baby was said to be breech. It's also completely untrue that most cesearians in healthy young women are due to herpes.

    It's a juicy bit of gossip, but one that's totally false - just like the hot story of Angelina having lesbian sex in the bathroom.

    Brad Pitt's parents are now in Namibia visiting their new grandchild. Brad and Angelina are said to be returning to the states July 1st so that Brad can work on Oceans 13.

    Christina Aguilera "regrets" that Britney wasn't at the MTV movie awards


    Highlighting the fact that she's happily married and hot as ever with a thriving career while Britney Spears, well - isn't, Christina Aguilera said that she's oh so broken up by the fact that Britney couldn't make it to the MTV movie awards this year:

    "It's a shame Britney doesn't go to any shows or awards anymore, because they are so much fun, even if you're not nominated for things, I miss seeing how hot she looked on red carpets and seeing her at awards and shows was the only times we really had time to catch up with each other because we're both so busy".

    In case you want to give Aguilera the benefit of the doubt and don't think this is a dig at Britney, read what she said about Britney's wedding with K-Fed two years ago:

    Christina Aguilera, meanwhile, branded the Spears-Federline wedding as "trashy, pathetic and low rent." "It's surprising,” Aguilera said at the time. “The whole affair seems somewhat pathetic."

    They may have served chicken wings and hamburgers, but the wedding wasn't all that trashy. A rare hand-beaded invitation to the Spears-Federline wedding along with an initialed party favor candle is for sale on eBay for nearly $1,000. The favors were classy even if the relationship never will be. The eBay seller should have waited until the divorce announcement in order to drive up the price.

    Here's trash-talking Christina Aguilera at The Ivy with her husband on June 2nd. She looks pretty tipsy, and it's not the first time.

    Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody: still going strong


    On Thursday we reported that it looked like trouble for The O.C's adorable on and off-screen couple, Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody. The pair were spotted separately last week, with a disheleved Brody jamming out at a concert and Bilson getting drunk at clubs with her girlfriends. It looks like we were wrong that the two were having trouble, since Brody and Bilson were caught out shopping by the ever-present paparrazi last week. They're standing a little far apart, though we wouldn't read too much into it.

    Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton fight in absentia on screen - world yawns


    Last night's first epside of the new season of "The Simple Life 4: We don't speak to each other" premiered on the E! Network. While the ratings haven't come out yet, we would assume it didn't draw the same audience as the 13 million viewer peak of the series' third season on Fox. (We thought "The Break Up" would tank too, so what do we know?)

    "Simple Life 4" was originally going to have a "Bridezilla" theme as it followed the psuedo-celebrities as they planned their weddings to whomever they were engaged to at the time. When their relationships were discarded like last month's four-figure handbags, producers settled on a "wife swap" plot that falls flat.

    The show is said to royally suck. Paris and Nicole get up to their normal cringe-worthy scripted hijinx - except this time they do it separately and with less panache.

    There's another problem for E! Can dumb and dumber be as effective with each doing her own thing as they were together? Or would it be like Dean Martin without Jerry Lewis or cereal without milk -- dry and hard to swallow?

    Faithful followers will have to wait and see. E! didn't send out review copies to everybody, but critics who have seen it say it's lost that certain something that made it a stupid classic of sorts.

    The two do sort of run into each other in a Hollywood restaurant, according to the New York Daily News. And E!'s camera crews just happened to be there. Nicole sent a cookie over to Paris' table with a naughty note written in icing. Anyone who thinks all this isn't being staged to hype the show probably still believes in the Tooth Fairy.

    The series has been turned into a contest with each of the two "girls" getting half the show. Sunday they fill in for a couple with a small daughter and a child on the way. The two pop tarts are never seen together and have different film crews, so their paths don't cross. Calling them "girls" really is fitting because they get to act like third-graders having a fight on the playground.

    They take turns caring for the child, which sounds pretty scary, and doing hard chores like filling the dishwasher.

    Here's a preview of the fourth season. The announcer speaks Dutch. Don't let that throw you, because the clip's in English and how much can they say about this crap anyway?

    Here is Nicole Richie at MTV's "Spankin' New Sounds" on June 1st with Christina Milian [via] and flying out of San Diego supposedly on June 2nd. [via] (She's wearing the same dress so we would assume these pictures were taken on the same day.)

    O.J. Simpson sex tape! (sorry to put that image in your head)


    The N.Y. Daily News says that they have an exclusive that there's a sex tape now being distributed on the Internet of O.J. Simpson getting it on with two ladies of questionable repute:

    The tape, portions of which have been viewed by the Daily News, shows a man who's a dead ringer for Simpson having cocktails with two women in a hotel room, then stretching out on a bed and unzipping his pants. The man, who has the same wobbly knees as the 58-year-old Heisman Trophy winner, is later seen naked.

    Other footage shows a man with the same body type as ­Simpson having sex with the women, ­although his face isn't visible.

    "I didn't believe in sex ­addicts until my last few ­girlfriends," Simpson says on the 25-minute­ tape, according to a ­trailer for the video, which is due to go on sale today for $19.95 at www.badoj.com. "I'm a ­sexaholic! ... If I'm not sexually active, I become destructive."

    Phoenix-based celebrity skin broker David Hans Schmidt said that at one point during the action, Simpson and one of the women go into a bathroom to snort cocaine while the other woman rifles through Simpson's pants and removes money from his wallet. Elsewhere on the tape, said Schmidt, Simpson sings, "If I only had a brain."

    Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, said that while his client may appear fully clothed in portions of the tape, the man having sex "is an imposter."

    In 2001 his lawyer said that Simpson was nearly trapped into making a sex tape at the time by Globe Magazine, the same outfit that arranged a setup for Frank Gifford to cheat on his wife, Kathie Lee Gifford, and caught it all on videotape. The News makes a connection between that incident and this one, while Simpson's lawyer insists that the latest video is faked.

    You can watch a segment of the incredibly NSFW - at all - video at BadOJ.com. You have to register and confirm your e-mail address to verify that you're over 18. There is little question that the guy in the video is O.J. and not a look alike as his publicist insists.

    In related news, Simpson's understandably troubled daughter, 20 year-old Sydney, has been sentenced to 50 hours of community service after swearing at police officers to stop a fight outside a basketball game at her prep school. She is said to have slapped a cop's hand while they were trying to arrest her.

    This news about her father's sex tape isn't going to do much to help her move on from the incident and lead a productive life.

    It's fun to laugh at murdering O.J. for making a sex tape, but the preview should be enough to satisfy most people's curiosity. Even though profits aren't going to O.J., we hope the tape doesn't sell.

    Christina Aguilera at the MTV Movie Awards


    Christina Aguilera performed her new single "Ain't No Other Man" at the MTV Movie Awards on Saturday. It looks like she removed her skirt onstage and stripped down to a pinup-worthy one piece bathing suit. That's about as far as she'll go now - she recently was convinced by her husband, Jordan Bratman, not to take her top off for a magazine. She wanted to go topless to prove that her breasts were real, but her husband was said to be "horrified" by the idea.

    Aguilera's new album is inspired by the jazz era and includes gritty elements that add authenticity to her pop sound. You can download the first single, "Aint No Other Man," in mp3 format.

    Jessica Simpson at the MTV Movie Awards


    Jessica Simpson attended the MTV Movie Awards with her father and manager, Joe. She looked tolerant of her dad, but not thrilled to be with him.

    Jessica is quoted as saying that Jessica Alba would do well as a presenter and that "all she has to do is strut her stuff."

    She also supposedly drove Jamie Foxx crazy, but that doesn't take much for the 30 minute man:

    Meanwhile, "Dukes of Hazzard" co-star Jessica Simpson, sporting a skirt as short as her marriage to Nick Lachey, drove "Miami Vice" star Foxx so crazy that he seemed to forget the beatbox noises he was laying down for co-presenter Colin Farrell's stroll across the stage.

    Jessica wore an unfortunate black and red dotted print dress that was split down the front but somehow managed to hide her cleavage. Her breasts looked like round balls suspended under fabric. She appeared on stage with Dane Cook, her costar in the upcoming "Employee of the Month." (Here's Dane Cook's MySpace)

    The MTV Video Music Awards air on Thursday at 8:30 p.m.

    Jessica Alba at the MTV movie awards, 24 HQ photos


    Jessica Alba hosted the MTV movie awards this year and took home the award for sexiest performance. She was honored for her role in Sin City 2.

    This was the first year MTV had male and female performers compete for the same awards, with single categories not separated by gender.

    "Brokeback Mountain" and "Wedding Crashers" won five awards:

    Brokeback Mountain and Wedding Crashers were the big winners, scooping five awards between them.

    Jake Gyllenhaal took the trophy for best performance for his role in the gay cowboy movie, and his screen smooch with co-star Heath Ledger was named best kiss.

    Comedy Wedding Crashers won the best film, best screen team and best breakthrough performance awards.

    Among the other winners were: Steve Carell - who won best comedic performance for The 40-year-old Virgin, Christian Bale - who won best hero for his lead role in Batman Begins, Hayden Christian - who was named best villain for Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt scooped best fight for Mrs and Mrs Smith.

    Here is Alba on the red carpet, during the show and in her press room appearance. Everything about her is gorgeous - except for her hideous shoes! Pictures [via]

    This is not news, but it does confirm that Kim Kardashian's eBay ID is *styleworld* (with asterisks around it) as we reported yesterday. She was seen out in the Christian Louboutin platform espadrilles, size 9, that she bought on eBay on April 24th for $445.00 plus $16.95 shipping.

    Kim, 25, attended the "Entourage" LA premiere on 6/1 wearing the overpriced but discounted shoes. She was hanging out with Paris Hilton at the event. She is dating Nick Lachey and is the daughter of O.J. Simpson lawyer, Robert Kardashian.

    Nick Lachey's new girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, attended the Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 1996 launch with Paris Hilton on June 2nd in Beverly Hills. She was photographed the day before at the "Entourage" LA premiere with Paris, suggesting the two are friends now. Paris may not be befriending Kim just because she's Nick Lachey's girlfriend and is in all the gossip mags this week - Kim was seen posing with Paris and her good friend Caroline D'Amore at the NFL draft party for Paris' then-boyfriend, Matt Leinart. Nick Lachey was also at the party on May 2nd, and People reports that was where he met Kim.

    Jennifer Garner passed up a role in "Dallas" due to fear of J.Lo


    Jennifer Garner was offered the role of Pamela Ewing in the upcoming "Dallas" movie, but she decided not to do it after learning that J.Lo had already signed on to the project. Seems like Garner has a healthy fear of her husband's big-bottomed Latina ex:

    JENNIFER GARNER reportedly turned down the role of PAMELA EWING in the forthcoming DALLAS movie, after discovering her husband BEN AFFLECK's ex-fiancee JENNIFER LOPEZ had signed to star in the remake. The ALIAS beauty started dating her DAREDEVIL co-star in July 2004 - seven months after the actor ended his high-profile engagement with J.Lo. British newspaper the Daily Mail claims Garner was in talks to play BOBBY EWING's wife Pam, but backed out when she realised Lopez would be playing JR's alcoholic wife SUE-ELLEN. A source says, "Jennifer Garner was really keen to be in Dallas, but I think she felt there would be a bit of a strain between them on the set and that could have led to awkward situations. "Both are totally professional, but there might have been a certain 'atmosphere' and Jennifer Garner didn't need to go there."

    Garner has a happy relationship and a gorgeous baby with Affleck, the man who put a stop to J.Lo's lavish wedding and gradually dumped her through passive aggressive behavior. Now all J.Lo has is a skeletal husband and a fat stomach that she wears mumus over in an attempt to get people to think it's a baby bump.

    It doesn't matter how rich or successful J.Lo is, Garner will always be happier and more content because she's just a genuinely kind, positive person. Judging from her decision to stay away from J.Lo, she has a lot of sense too.

    Here's Garner on the set of "Gone Baby Gone," which Ben is directing, on 5/24. [via]

    Jennifer Aniston admits she doesn't care about world affairs and is self-absorbed


    There's a popular editorial about Brad and Angelina called "Brad, Angelina and the rise of 'celebrity colonialism'" The author sites the harsh tactics of their thuggish security staff, and says that Brad and Angelina are occupying Africa to make themselves feel like patrons:

    It may sound shocking, but in truth Pitt and Jolie’s trip to Namibia is really only a more extreme version of today’s ‘celebrity colonialism’, where celebs go to Africa (or some other poor part of the world) to make themselves feel ‘special’. Africa in particular has become a stage for such moralistic poseurs - and their posing can have a detrimental impact on the people who live there.

    Of course Africa still has vast problems of under-development and poverty - but they will not be helped by the kind of campaigning or patronage offered by Brown, Bono, Bob or Brangelina. Rather, this brand of moral grandstanding suggests that Africa has become a kind of plaything for some campaigners, a backdrop against which they can make themselves feel good and ‘special’.

    The author makes a decent point, but he overlooks the fact that people pay attention to everything celebrities do, and that most of them are shallow and self-absorbed. Most celebrities are content to serve as billboards for overpriced jeans and unattainable handbags. When Brad and Angelina go to Africa for a little peace and quiet they're using their extreme fame in a genuine attempt to bring attention to problems on the continent. They need to fire their abusive security staff and stop being so aggressive with the paparrazi, but why bash them for trying to use their fame for a good cause?

    Jennifer Aniston said she's not interested in contributing to important causes like her ex-husband and his gorgeous fertile girlfriend. She doesn't care to be criticized for bringing media attention to the world's impoverished, and would rather get mocked for her lack of acting ability and poor personality:

    Aniston was sitting at a press conference in Los Angeles to promote her new comedy, The Break-Up, when a reporter asked if she was interested in using her celebrity to tackle any of the world's important issues.

    Pitt and Jolie, in between giving birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel, have been vocal about Africa, AIDS and refugees.

    So, was Aniston interested in any global issues? How about the war in Iraq or global warming?

    "No," Aniston replied. "I'm not interested in any of that."

    "I like to just focus on me and my tabloid career."

    Her deadpan answer, dripping with sarcasm, scored plenty of laughs.

    Ok, she's not interested in world affairs at all? Not just a little bit? I mean, we pay a lot of attention to celebrities because it's easier than facing the fact that the US is killing innocent civilians in an illegal war, but we also catch the regular news too.

    She said she's not interested in world events and wants to focus on herself. Even if she was trying to make a joke, Aniston makes it seem as if she doesn't care about anything but herself.

    Her crappy movie, "The Break Up," opens today. If it gets universally panned as expected, Aniston can say goodbye to her film career. Her maybe boyfriend, Vince Vaughn, will weather this storm but she won't:

    If this movie sucks balls as much as pre-reviews hint at*, all [Vince Vaughn] has to remind people of is Made or Wedding Crashers or Old School. Jennifer Aniston though, she has nothing.

    She has nothing indeed. Not even a little bit of curiousity about the world beyond her giant chin.

    Here are some portraits of Aniston taken by Armando Gallo at a press conference for "The Break Up" on 5/19.

    Easy nickname for Shiloh Pitt: Pile 'O Shit


    Thanks to the PopBitch e-mail newsletter for pointing this out. An easy nickname for Shiloh Pitt is Pile 'O Shit!

    The poor girl is named after the place she was conceived and has a name that's not only weird, but quite easily mocked.

    Brad and Angelina may not have anticipated the hysterical Spoonerism of their baby's name, but they did prepare for her blogging future. They're not taking any chances and had their lawyers snatch up most variations of the Shiloh Pitt domain name on Saturday when the baby was born.

    PopBitch also states that Angelina and Brad's thugs are so unrelentless that they followed a journalist home and totally harrassed her. They also say that a female journalist got the scoop on Angelina's birth by sleeping with one of the male doctors at Swakopmund Cottage Hospital:

    Journalists in Namibia covering the birth of the new messiah, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, are being subjected to harrassment, intimidation and threats. One journalist who was suspected of leaking the scoop that Angelina had given birth has been followed by a local heavy for days. She noticed a man hanging around her house, following her everywhere, so she went to the police. On her return to her house the man knocked on her door, introducing himself with the chilling phrase, "I am not a psychopath or a killer, but...", before telling the stringer that he'd been hired to scare her: give her "a taste of her own medicine". What's even more galling is that the journalist was entirely innocent of being the leak. That award goes to an enterprising American female reporter who managed to check into the Cottage Medi- Clinic in Swakopmund, and shagged one of the doctors in order to get the scoop.

    I do like Angelina and Brad, and I think they meant well by holing up in Namibia, but their staff is out of control and it makes them look like clueless squatters. It's also a sad commentary on the state of the gossip media when a "journalist" trades sex for a story. (If you send stories I'll give you a shout out at least. Just send me tips at info@celebitchy dot com.)

    Pete Doherty copes with poor EasyJet service by making art in the bathroom


    Last weekend I took a cheap ass EasyJet flight with my family to Berlin. In case you're not familiar with EasyJet, it's the Southwest Airlines of Europe. You can sit wherever you want, but drinks and snacks are expensive and there are no TVs. The flight over was decent, but on the way back a British stewardess with an attitude named something like Jenine was wearing perfume so heavy it permeated the entire plane and gave my husband and me a headache. (I'm writing this on the off chance that my bitching will get back to the management at EasyJet without me going through the trouble of writing a complaint letter.)

    Anyway Pete Doherty, the lead singer of BabyShambles and Kate Moss' on and off boyfriend, was on an EasyJet flight and took an extra long time in the bathroom. EasyJet staff found a bloody syringe hidden in the trashcan afterwards, so of course they had to blame poor Pete.

    An EasyJet spokeswoman said crew found "a syringe hidden in a bin, covered in blood" in the plane's toilet.

    Spanish Guardia Civil met Doherty and four friends but found no suspicious substances in the lavatories.

    They were not arrested. Doherty's band Babyshambles played at the Primavera Sound Festival in the city on Thursday.

    The EasyJet spokeswoman said the crew became suspicious after Doherty spent "an unusual amount of time in the toilet".

    After the discovery of the syringe, Doherty was questioned by crew and became "agitated and aggressive", the spokeswoman said.

    The captain contacted Spanish police, who met the plane, which was held on the ground for about half an hour.

    Officers only found a bottle of heroin substitute methadone, which Doherty is taking as part of a drug treatment programme.

    Aviation regulations mean passengers must inform an airline in advance if they are carrying a syringe for medical reasons and Doherty failed to do so, EasyJet said.

    Pete likes to create art while he's taking a dump and it's ridiculous that EasyJet staff would deny him the pleasure. It's already hard enough for the guy to catch a break without getting questioned over every little bloody syringe! Those EasyJet flights are so uncomfortable and the staff is paranoid and unaccommodating.

    Pete and his Babyshambles bandmembers are permanently banned from all EasyJet filghts now, and they should be grateful not to have to go through that again.

    Here are some Pete Doherty fans outside of his case review hearing at Thames Magistrate Court on 5/12. Love the devil guy.

    Britney's Manny Bodyguard Revealed: His name is "Henry"


    Everyone was confused about Britney's new baby-loving male companion. Some claimed it was her producer, J.R. Rotem and there was even one crazy rumor that we zealously reported that Britney was having an affair with her producer and that the baby she's carrying might be his.

    Later the guy was confirmed to be Britney's male nanny, who perhaps does double-duty as a bodyguard. People were calling him by the uncommon name "Perry."

    It turns out the guy's real name is "Henry," and he seems rather likeable from this brief description:

    Britney Spears was spotted out and about Wednesday in Malibu. But this time, the songstress had company -- and it wasn't Kevin Federline!

    Baby crazy Brit was seen holding little Sean P. in her arms as the mystery man pushed the stroller in Malibu.

    Now only "Extra" has the dish. Sources say the hunk is Britney's new nanny, Henry, and he was simply accompanying Brit on a mommy and me outing in the seaside town.

    We caught up with Henry as he purchased flowers, and it looked like this tough guy wasn't scared of a little paparazzi loving. When asked if he was Brit's security, he simply smiled and walked away.

    Britney has an absent and soon to be ex - husband, but she has a sweet male nanny and a brand new Porsche! She was spotted out in the hot new convertible taking driving lessons so that she can learn to drive standard.

    She's giving the bird and hopefully the boot to Kevin, and taking back her life.

    Here is Britney out driving her new car with a male instructor - not the manny. [via]

    Update: This guy's name is actually Perry, and you can read more about him here.

    Kim Kardashian's myspace and eBay seller ID


    Kim Kardashian is currently dating Nick Lachey and she's the top search phrase now leading people to this site. People are interested in her, so here's a bit of semi-personal Internet data on the 25 year-old daughter of O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian:

  • Kim's myspace profile under the username "kimsaprincess" (I also have a full screenshot in case she wisely blocks access to it.)
  • Kim's eBay seller feedback, her ID is rumored to be "styleworld" [via]

    If that is indeed Kim's eBay seller ID, either her caps lock is broken or she's pretty dumb Internet naive, because all of her item descriptions are in upper case. While I think it's cool that she's selling stuff online and not buying retail, she doesn't use any design in her seller items and just posts them plain with all upper case descriptions. Add some style to your sales, girl!

    Kim sells stuff like her old Gucci loafers (She's a size nine and a half, which is big for her height) and buys Christian Louboutin platforms as replacements. She has a 100% positive feedback rating, showing she's a responsible member of the eBay community.

    In her mySpace profile, she says she's "in a relationship," so unless she's had that on for a while trying to discourage myspace skeeves, she's referring to Lachey. She's also 5'3" tall and says that her "daddy" is her hero. At least she appreciates where her lifestyle comes from. She doesn't list her favorite music or movies, and her primary interest can be assumed to be shopping. She says she'd like to meet "God," and lists her religion as "Christian," so she must not be afraid to die.

    Here are some pictures of Kardashian from her myspace. She is shown with her mother and sister. She looks a lot like Jessica Alba in these photos.

    Update: Kim's father, O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian, passed away on October 1, 2003. Given that her father died recently, it is understandable that Kim calls him her hero and says that she would like to meet God. Apologies for saying that "at least she appreciates where her lifestyle comes from." It must be terrible to lose a parent like that, and we would not have made that joke if we were aware of it.

    Nicole Kidman is frigid


    Nicole Kidman is supposedly withholding sex from her fiance Keith Urban until he marries her on June 25th:

    Nicole Kidman has put a sex ban on her fiance Keith Urban.

    The 'Cold Mountain' actress has told the country singer they won't have sex again until their wedding night - which is rumoured to be taking place in a few weeks time.

    A source told Britain's Daily Sport newspaper: "Going four weeks without sex will certainly increase the passion on their wedding night."

    Nicole reportedly got the sex ban idea from her friend Russell Crowe. The 'Gladiator' star went for months without sex before he married Danielle Spence in 2003.

    Russell said: "I was determined there would be a lot of pent-up energy on the big night."

    Nicole is due to marry the country singer Urban in a chapel near Sydney on June 25.

    This sounds made up, but it's pretty funny and we're prone to believe it. Kidman is Catholic and probably thinks that she can make up for lots of premarital sex by pretending it never happened for a little while.

    While Urban's publicist did confirm his engagement with Nicole right after she announced the news, he was reportedly pissed off when she made it public and doesn't feel ready to get married. It also seems as if Nicole and Keith have had problems in their relationship, with some reports saying that Keith wanted time off a little over a month ago. There's also a rumor that he's drinking a lot and sleeping around.

    Withholding sex from a guy is a dangerous way to pique his interest in you, and Nicole is probably trying to hold out for a while in the hope that Keith will realize what he's missing. This reminds me of an Eddie Murphy sketch where he compares lack of sex causing you to go crazy for a woman to being really hungry and thinking crackers are delicious. It might work for Nicole, but if Keith is getting his kicks elsewhere this strategy will backfire.

    In related news, Bette Midler has denied that she's been asked to sing at the Kidman-Urban wedding.

    Rachel Weisz has a baby boy


    Rachel Weisz had a baby boy, but didn't reveal any details other than the fact that he's out now:

    Oscar winner Rachel Weisz has had a boy, the star's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

    Mother, father (Darren Aronofsky), and child are healthy and happy, according to the rep.

    Weisz, 35, is engaged to Brooklyn-born Requiem For a Dream director Aronofsky. This is the first child for the couple, who are based in New York.

    Best wishes to Weisz and Aronofsky, and we hope they pick a non-traumatizing name for their little one. We're sure to see the baby much sooner than non-existent Suri.

    Here are some pictures of Weisz taken recently. [via]

    Maria Sharapova upskirt pictures HQ


    This isn't our standard fare, but we have a blogger friend who posts mainly nip slips and he claims it's the way to go. We found these high res pictures of Sharapova's butt and thought we'd give it a try. Apologies to our female gossip lovers.

    Fourth seed Sharapova nearly suffered an ankle injury while playing in Australia at Roland Gallos. She also complained that the organizers moved the event from Monday to Sunday, saying the early start jeopardized her ability to prepare for Wimbeldon. Her ankle turned out to be fine and she won her match in two sets yesterday against a Czech player, Iveta Benesova.

    Here are HQs of Maria Sharapova's butt in very tight tennis shorts. You can see everything if you squint.

    Britney meets with divorce lawyers


    Britney Spears has supposedly met with divorce lawyers in an attempt to rid herself of the parasite that is Kevin Federline. Star Magazine is set to report Friday that she's finally going to pull the plug on her marriage:

    The magazine will have an article in this Friday's edition that cites friends of the couple that will reveal that her marriage really fell apart on Mother’s Day, her first as a mom, when Kevin chose to spend the occasion with Shar Jackson, the mother of this other two children.

    Four days later, Britney made her now infamous trip to New York with Sean Preston. And Kevin, who has been living with friends since Brit threw him out, didn’t even know his wife was out of town.

    Star will also reveal that the mag has learned that after Kevin and Britney were married in 2004, he managed to convince her to revise her original prenup offer. The 60-page contract in which Britney originally paid Kevin a $500/week salary as a “production assistant” was eventually rewritten by Mr. Britney Spears’s lawyers.

    Sources tell the magazine all of his demands were eventually agreed to – thus insuring Kevin a bigger slice of his wife’s pie.

    It sucks for Britney that the divorce will be expensive for her, but at least she's getting her identity back and is ready to finally move on.

    A similar story came out in the beginning of the month, claiming that Britney had already met with her lawyers and had papers drawn up to surprise Kevin with.

    When is Britney going to announce her divorce already?

    Here is Kevin a new photospread for Item Magazine. You can read his stupid interview if you're interested.

    Jessica Simpson offers Nick Lachey an insulting $1.5 million divorce settlement


    Jessica Simpson has reportedly offered Nick Lachey a laughable $1.5 million to settle their divorce amicably. She is said to have made $30 million last year alone, and Nick is legally entitled to half of her earnings during their marriage of over three years. It sounds like Jessica's father is pressuring her to try to get Nick to settle cheaply:

    Multiple sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ that Simpson has offered Lachey less than $1.5 million to settle the division of property. Under California law, Lachey would be entitled to half of what the couple earned during their marriage. The Associated Press reports that in 2004 alone, Simpson raked in $30 million.

    We're told that Simpson's reps believe that Lachey will fold because he does not want to make it appear that he is after her money. They also know that Lachey is still in love with his estranged wife and believe he does not have the stomach to square off with her in court.

    Indeed, sources have confirmed to TMZ that Joe Simpson, Jessica's dad, has called Nick, urging him to take the settlement so the two can "end as friends." And other friends and reps of Jessica have contacted Nick, trying to pressure him into a settlement.

    Sources say Nick will not ask for spousal support, but that he's not stupid enough to settle for such a low amount. Two weeks ago he was said to be seeking a relatively low $8 million settlement in an effort to get his hands on some quick cash and avoid losing his property. The National Enquirer reported that Nick lowered his settlement request to $5 million hoping that would be a reasonable sum for Jessica.

    It seems like Nick is being reasonable and Jessica is being pressured by her family as usual to low-ball the settlement. TMZ quotes Jessica:

    In 2004 Jessica said, "If anything were to happen to me and Nick, I've had a great life with him and he would deserve half of everything I have."

    Her daddy must not agree.

    Meanwhile Jessica may have lost her best friend, hairdresser Ken Paves, to her scheming sister. She lost her other best friend, her assistant Cacee Cobb, less than a month ago. She has been seen out shopping unkempt and alone, and bought up a bunch of "Team Jessica" shirts at an LA Boutique. She is also said to be seeing a therapist to help cope wtih the depression from her divorce and to come to terms with her identity.

    Nick, however, has a hot new girlfriend and a successful new album.

    Here's Jessica wearing Ugg-ly boots on a hot day in Hollywood. [via]

    Anna Nicole Smith is really pregnant


    Anna Nicole Smith, 38, has been rumored to be pregnant with her second child. It's now said to be true according to her paparrazo lover. She is said to be five months along. Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern, claims that Anna wants the man who claims to be the father of her baby out of her life. Anna's lover says her bitter lawyer just wants to get into her maternity pants:

    Howard K. Stern tells TMZ emphatically, "Anna wants that guy completely out of her life and obviously he is having trouble dealing with it." He also said, "You'll be able to find out soon enough [if she's pregnant]," but would not elaborate beyond that.

    A source says Stern may be denying the pregnancy rumor because it would take the thunder out of an official announcement from Smith-- an announcement we're told she believes is worth a serious amount of money.

    UPDATE 5:45PM ET: Larry Birkhead read Stern's response to TMZ and adds: "I was not going to discuss the matter publicly, but since Howard K. Stern is attempting to bash me... I have been told that I am expecting a child, I have seen the ultrasound and have spoken to doctors. I am very excited about the possibility of becoming a father. Howard needs to get past his own jealousy about the relationship between myself and his only client."

    Poor Anna. If only she could get her hands on the billions of dollars she earned by servicing that withered old sick man, she wouldn't have to try to squeeze a mere five figures out of a gossip rag for the official pregnancy announcement. It's also bad news for Anna if that Howard Stern guy is her only lawyer. He doesn't seem qualified to have represented her in front of the Supreme Court.

    Update: Anna Nicole Smith confirms her pregnancy in a mumbled video taken while floating in her pool.

    Dita Von Teese thinks she's better than other strippers


    If Dita Von Teese hadn't married Marilyn Manson her career would never have taken off. I'd never heard of her before she married Manson.

    She's a stripper with fancy accessories. You can call it burlesque or any name you like, but she's taking off her clothes to music. There's nothing wrong with that, but she seems all snotty and self-satisfied as if she's acting in art films rather than giving people a glimpse of her goods.

    Dita stripped for Hugh Heffner's 80th birthday party in Paris on 5/29. TMZ has a lousy video of her stripping that isn't worth the wait. Listen to the crap she says about other strippers:

    "There's a lot of candy-coated non-burlesque burlesque going on in this city,' said the vampy dancer, "I think somebody needs to remember that burlesque wasn't just about a style or wearing fishnets and hot pants and dancing sexy, it was about the strip tease and the art of the strip tease."

    So, you're saying that you gyrate better Dita? I mean, you're good at your job and all but you're a stripper. Get over yourself. If you weren't Mrs. Marilyn Manson you wouldn't be famous.

    Dita and Marilyn aren't going to last. She's too full of herself.

    Here's a link to a high quality YouTube NSFW video of Dita stripping in New Orleans. (I would have included it here, but embedding is disabled for this video.)

    Robbie Williams' team wins Soccer Aid


    Robbie Williams' team, "England," won the Soccer Aid benefit for the United Nations Children's Fund last weekend. Williams' opponents, the "Rest of the World" team, were lead by Gordon Ramsay. Each team was made up of ten celebrities with six World Cup soccer greats. Argentinian football great Diego Maradona played for the "Rest of the World" team, but they still lost to "England":

    Actor Jonathan Wilkes managed to score two goals in a solo effort to put England 2-0 up within the first 20 minutes but Diego Maradona managed to convert a second-half penalty - awarded for a handball by singer David Gray - for the Rest of the World side. Jonathan Wilkes was named man of the match.

    A sell-out crowd of 75,000 fans was at Old Trafford to watch the match, with millions expected to tune in to watch the game live on ITV1.

    The England team, captained by Williams and managed by Terry Venables, also included former England internationals Paul Gascoigne, John Barnes, Tony Adams, David Seaman, and Bryan Robson alongside TV stars Jamie Theakston and Angus Deayton.

    Ramsay's team included former Argentina international Diego Maradona, former Chelsea star Gianfranco Zola and Tony Blair's former spin doctor Alastair Campbell.

    Here's a highlight video of the goals:

    We made fun of Wiliams for getting caught smoking last week after he pledged to quit for the sake of his team, but he pulled off a win anyway. This isn't Williams' first time working for UNICEF. He's been a UN Ambassador since 2000.

    Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts at The Omen Screening


    Liev Screiber, Julia Stiles, and Mia Farrow star in "The Omen," a remake of the 1976 horor film about a little kid who's the devil incarnate.

    Here's the trailer: warning

    This looks creepy as hell and you couldn't pay me to see this. (Unless it was three figures, then I'd go and cover my eyes.)

    At the screening of "The Omen" last night in NY, Watts is wearing a loose-fitting dress, but I don't think she's pregnant unless it's early on. In some HQ photographs that came out a couple of weeks ago you can see her stomach through a sheer top and it's flat.

    "The Omen" comes out, predictably, on 6/6/06.

    Also shown are Julia Stiles, Mia Farrow, and creepy little Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick.

    Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson, The O.C.'s onscreen and real life couple, have been going their separate ways lately. Bilson has been photographed drunk and out on the town with girlfriends, and Brody was seen looking scruffy at the Sasquatch music festival in Washington state.

    Of course couples don't have to hang out together constantly, but Brody is looking pretty depressed and scruffy while Bilson is drunk. It seems like something's going on.

    Jay-Z looks skinny, may be preparing to marry Beyonce


    Def Jam president Jay-Z, 36, lost 15 pounds thanks to a diet his girlfriend Beyonce, 24, put him on. He is said to be feasting on high protein meals and lots of vegetables and to have given up candy. Jay-Z's weight loss has people speculating that the famous couple may be planning to get married:

    Rap mogul Jay-Z has sparked rumours he's planning to wed longtime girlfriend Beyonce Knowles after he shed several pounds on a strict new diet.

    Former Destiny's Child star Beyonce reportedly suggested her burly boyfriend shed a few pounds after pointing out he is 30 pounds heavier than when they started dating in 2003.

    The 36-year-old has taken her comments to heart - he has already shed 15 pounds, according to insiders.

    Beyonce has been focussing on her figure and probably encouraged Jay-Z to lose weight as a result. We don't think it means that they're preparing for marriage.

    Beyonce is not one to give nutritional advice. She said that she lost over 20 pounds for her Dreamgirls role by fasting and drinking spicy water for over a week, and that she gained some of the weight back by eating a lot of fried food.

    The two have hit a rought patch lately, with reports that they were fighting at a playoff game, and that Beyonce is jealous of Jigga's very friendly working relationship with sexy singer Rhianna.

    Jay-Z and Beyonce are pairing up again in the studio. They are collaborating on Beyonce's new album, to be released on her 25th birthday, September 4th. The pair had a big hit with Beyonce's 2003's single "Crazy in Love."

    Jay-Z is pictured with Bill Gates, above [via] and at the 2006 Music Visionary of the Year Award breakfast on 5/24 with Daniel Glass and Antonio L.A. Reid. He is also shown on 5/22 at a NY Listening Session. He looks great.
