Lindsay Lohan Bikini Mega Post

It seems like we've seen these pictures of Lindsay Lohan in a bikini before, but she always seems to be in a bikini, and she changes them to let us know that the pictures are new. She must love skipping rocks, doing pushups, and frolicking in the Malibu surf for the paparrazi while fully made up. Look, she's even got a new camera. Maybe some of the hoards of photographers around her can give her some tips on how to get those perfect candids.

Lohan's hard-partying mother, Dina, has defended her daughter's constant exhaustion on set, saying she has asthma and that's why she sounds like a 70 year-old woman when she talks and has no endurance on the job:

Describing the circumstances that she said led up to the incident, "On the set it was 105 degrees," she tells PEOPLE. "And she has bronchial asthma – so any extreme heat or cold, she can't breathe."

On top of which, says her mom, Lindsay "was wearing winter clothes and she was telling people, 'I need water, I need water.' And they just want to get the shot, want to get the shot."

The elder Lohan said Lindsay was physically affected "after she had left (the set) and went home."

Speaking to Access, Dina said, "I'm a mother and will do what I need to do to protect my child. … She's a human being. There was one day when she was late, and they (director Garry Marshall and costar Jane Fonda) worked the schedule around her. Garry, Jane, everybody loves her."

And now, apparently, so does Robinson. [Lindsay's boss who wrote the scathing letter] "I've never had a minute's trouble with her. She's every inch a lady," the film executive told the Hollywood Reporter on Friday. "I felt I needed to remind her of her obligations to show up."

Well, everyone is happy now and maybe Lindsay will be able to get some much-needed water on set. She certainly lives in it when she's at home.

Penelope Cruz in a bikini

Penelope Cruz says that acclaimed Spanish director Amoldovar made a "woman" out of her in the soon-to-be-released "Volver." Her butt was specially enhanced for the film, and Cruz enjoyed playing a role that was, uh, meatier than she's typically cast in:

'Pedro made a woman out of me,' Penelope laughed. 'He kept the camera always on my breasts and my bottom. He said my breasts should look like I have been a mother, and so should my bottom. He wanted the bottom to be very big so he worked with the costume designers to fit the dresses and skirts so that I would look as if I had an ample bottom.'

When I started working at 16, the kind of parts I was offered were always interesting but, of course, all had elements of being the girl.

'But I think if I want to have a long career I have to look for the meat on the part, and the meat doesn't have to be the butcher's best cut. Some of the roughest cuts are the sweetest,' she proclaimed.

That means not limiting her energies to Hollywood fare. 'I would never leave Europe. Here, women work when they are older; it's part of the culture, despite the obsession with weight and looks.

She says that she looks forward to working when she's 50, and getting more of those meatier roles.

Penelope Cruz looks great in a bikini and shopping on 7/30 with what one bulletin board poster describes as "a gay guy." She is in Hollywood's playground, Saint Tropez. Some of the pictures have a woman topless in the background and are sort of NSFW.

It's probably true that Cruz' companion is gay, but he must not have very good self esteem if he let her go out in an orange dress while carrying a purple purse.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are sleeping apart

Their newborn is just over two months old, so this isn't that shocking, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are repotedly sleeping apart because Angelina wants to be near Shiloh while Brad needs his beauty sleep:

Sleep-loving Brad Pitt has apparently moved into a separate bedroom as Angleina Jolie takes care of the their baby Shiloh.

The Fight Club star is supposedly struggling to get his beauty sleep in following Shiloh’s birth in May, so has decided to sleep in a different room to his gorgeous lover whilst she stays with their infant daughter.

A source tells The People, "She wants to keep an eye on her. Brad needs his sleep but he helps when he can."

This sounds like the time they were staying in that slum in Paris and Brad had to sleep on the couch because Angelina was pregnant and taking up the whole bed.

Star Magazine is reporting that Angelina is not happy with her stretch marks and post-partum body and that's the real reason she's keeping Brad out of the bedroom. She supposedly doesn't want to have sex, which is worrying Brad, but she just had a baby and that sounds pretty normal.

Dana at Dana's Dirt says that Angelina better put out soon or Brad will lose interest:

Brad's actually quite concerned but she's in denial and won't get help... and he's worried because she was usually so into sex and now she isn't... I guess that's normal, it's only been a few months, but he might start to get a wandering eye if she keeps holding out on him....

If he did it with you, he'll do it to you ANGELINA!

Here's Angelina driving around, looking fierce. Shiloh is said to be in the back seat, but that's not big news since it's not like Suri, whose supposed baby seat or stroller has never been photographed.

Britney Spears shows up at K-Fed's video shoot

A very pregnant and much classier-looking Britney Spears made an appearance at Pure nightclub at Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas to support her husband Kevin Federline's video shoot. She looked quite presentable in a horizontal-striped top and her black hair.

Britney was also photographed in Vegas with a guy rumored to be her new "manager," or maybe just her agent, Wililam Morris agent Jason Trawick.

Both times she looked rather good. That may be some kind of record for her.

Britney had a supposed pregnancy scare on July 15th, when it is said that she went into false labor and had to be rushed to the hospital. A "friend" is quoted as blaming the incident on Britney's poor nutrition, saying she wasn't eating enough vegetables. If you take a look in Kevin's cart in these pictures of him shopping, you can see why a gossip magazine writer could come to that conclusion. Celebrity Baby Blog mentions that it sounds like a completely bogus reason for false labor.

Pamela Anderson Kid Rock wedding photos

Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock got married in the first of the four weddings they're planning. They were wed on a yacht on Saturday in Saint Tropez, France. Pam wore a white bikini and captain's cap, and Kid Rock looked even less presentable shirtless in jeans and a fedora.

This is the second union for Anderson and the first for Rock (real name: Robert Ritchie) – and, apparently, there are more to come. "I'm going to get married a few times this month to the same guy," Anderson, 39, said July 26 during a news conference in Las Vegas. "We had to do Malibu, we've got to do Detroit, and we've got to do Nashville."

Anderson and Rock, 35, began dating in spring 2001. They became engaged on April 11, 2002, in the Las Vegas desert, but split the following year. Still, when they ran into each other early this month in Saint-Tropez on a mutual friend's yacht, the feelings were still there.

"It was like we'd never been apart," Rock told PEOPLE on July 11. "(I) love her to death." Anderson announced their engagement on her Web site on July 18.

So why the whirlwind nuptials? "It's just timing," Anderson told PEOPLE on Wednesday. "It's being in love, obviously, and it's time for me to move on with my life and get on with the rest of it with my kids."

These two are not going to last three months.

Like Eminem, Kid Rock reveals his misogynistic personality in his lyrics. Here's a preview of what these two did on their wedding night: (Warning, this is freaking gross.)

Now if you think the story is over just listen to this
I thought my mission was complete so I gave her a kiss
Then I was searchin for a towel to clean off my dickie
Cuz it was kinda wet all bloody and sticky
And to talk about gross heres something sicker than sick
The bitch dropped to her knees and licked the tip of my dick
I started trippin cause this was something I've never seen
The girl was more than a freak she was a sexual fiend
And when I thought that was as gross as one girl could get
She stuck her finger in her booty and then she licked it
Oh now this girl was much more to me than a freak
In my opinion she was plain nasty
But never the less I completed my duty
I got this freak and co-waxed the booty

Sorry for that, I could not resist posting those lyrics.

Here are Pam Anderson and Kid Rock on their wedding day. The woman got married to two different guys, wearing a bikini each time. So classy. [via]

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck at the Red Sox game

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck made a rare public appearance at the Red Sox Angels game in Boston yesterday. Unfortunately the Red Sox lost, 4-10.

Garner and Affleck have an eight month-old daughter, Violet, who was not with them at the game. They are reportedly planning a permanent move to Ben's hometown of Cambridge, MA, after staying there for the Summer while Ben makes his directorial debut.

There have been rumors that Garner is pregnant with her second child, but a woman who claims to be a cousin of Ben Affleck's writes to Celebrity Baby Blog that that's definitely not true.

What's Victoria Silvstedt doing? (NSFW)

Maybe Victoria Silvstedt staged these pictures to make it look like she's pleasuring herself on her balcony, but it's more likely that they're real. There are pictures of her receiving oral from a small buck-toothed guy off the side of a dock, so this is pretty minor in comparison.

In case you care, Silvstedt is a Swedish "model," who was Playboy Playmate of the Year in 1997. She's only 31, but extensive plastic surgery and bad lip collagen make her look much older.

Silvstedt is shown on a balcony on an unknown date and on a boat in St Tropez on July 22. [via]

Lindsay Lohan still partying, earth still revolving around the sun

Lindsay Lohan got a harsh letter from the CEO of the production company running her latest film, "Georgia Rule," that makes it clear that her bosses aren't buying the "heat exhaustion" excuse. I initially believed that Lohan was working every day and just had to go to the hospital once for whatever reason, because I'm gullible like that and there are plenty of pictures of her on set. It turns out that Lohan skipped a entire day of work and planned not to go in the next day, either.

Lohan's bosses are pissed that she showed up late to work a bunch of times and held up filming for a day, since
it costs big bucks to keep all those actors hydrated and gaffers fed. They sent a letter to the hotel she stays at last Wednesday.

You and your representatives have told us that your various late arrivals and absences from the set have been the result of illness; today we were told it was "heat exhaustion." We are well aware that your ongoing all night heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called "exhaustion..."

You have acted like a spoiled child and in so doing have alienated many of your co-workers and endangered the quality of this picture.

This letter hit the Internet, thanks to The Smoking Gun, on Thursday. Instead of staying at home, maybe renting a movie or buying shit on eBay, Lohan was out partying again this weekend, and she didn't just stay close to home.

She went to Vegas with her boyfriend of one whole month and was seen at Jeff Beacher's variety show. She was photographed flashing her trademark peace sign.

Lohan has become a parody of herself and will have a steady career of increasingly more embarassing endorsements if she doesn't slow down and focus on her acting. Oh wait - she can sing too, right?

Lohan is shown at the show in question in Vegas on Saturday. She is also seen outside of The Ivy restaurant with her boyfriend, Harry Morton, who seems to think that a pack of cigarettes can shield him from the paparrazi.

Lohan and Morton got new tattoos in the wee hours of the morning last week, but they didn't pull a Scary Spice 'n Eddie Murphy, and opted instead for trite symbols that will last much longer than their relationship.

Mel Gibson was anti-semitic and combative during his DUI arrest

It's a shame there's no Nick Nolte style mug shot to include with this story, but uber-religious Catholic cult member Mel Gibson was arrested for drunk driving on Friday after supposedly being sober for years. He had a bottle of tequila in his car, and said it wasn't his but he'd "had a little bit" (that's classic!)

TMZ also has details of a police cover-up to remove inflammatory details from the original report. When he was first arrested, Mel Gibson went off on Jews, saying they were responsible for all the wars in the world, and told the arresting officer repeatedly that he was going to "fuck" him. He also tried to run away when the cop did him a courtesy by not cuffing him.

Once he was in custody, he tried to unzip his pants to pee on the floor of his holding cell!

Once inside the car, a source directly connected with the case says Gibson began banging himself against the seat. The report says Gibson told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you." The report also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he 'owns Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."

The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?..."

Gibson was put in a cell with handcuffs on. He said he needed to urinate, and after a few minutes tried manipulating his hands to unzip his pants. Sources say Deputy Mee thought Gibson was going to urinate on the floor of the booking cell and asked someone to take Gibson to the bathroom.

Gibson was obviously distraught over the illegal unprovoked war on Lebanon that's killed countless innocent civilians. Israel is responsible for a high percentage of wars, but then again so are the Americans. There's that whole imprisoning an entire country thing that Israel's doing, too. It's not the Jewish or American peoples' fault, though, just their terrible leaders.

Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving twice before and let off with just a warning.

Mel Gibson is a member of the Catholic cult, Opus Dei, which tried to escape the terrible image it was given in the Da Vinci Code, and calls their portrayal inaccurate:

In The Da Vinci Code, Opus Dei members are falsely depicted murdering, lying, drugging people, and otherwise acting unethically, thinking that it is justified for the sake of God, the Church, or Opus Dei.

The only other famous person I've heard of who was a member of Opus Dei was FBI spy Robert Hanssen, who rigged up a secret room in order to let his best friend watch while he had sex with his wife.

Gibson has since apologized for his behavior, saying that he "acted like a person completely out of control," that he "said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable," and that he was "deeply ashamed."

It's too late for Gibson, because everyone's suspicions about him have been confirmed. Now that their highest profile member has been exposed for the jerk he is, Opus Dei is going to have even more problems with their image. Mel Gibson's going to have quite a hard time making his weird religious movies too.

"Tori Spelling is selling her shit on eBay" Links

As you've probably noticed, the gossip has been light here this week. I've been working on a big corporate website that I haven't said anything about because I assumed I could keep up with the celebrities, do that other project, watch my kid, and take care of the house all at once during one of the hottest weeks of the year. Of course I couldn't and I'm exhausted!

Thanks for bearing with me. My big project is wrapping up this week, my babysitter is coming back from vacation, and I'll have more time for the blog on Monday. In the mean time here are some gossip links.

I've been thinking a lot about "poor" Tori Spelling's predicament now that she's inherited less than $1 million from her uber-rich dead dad.

I once read a John Grisham novel about one of the richest guys on the planet who had a bunch of children by different wives. His plan was to give each of his ungrateful kids $1 million on their 18th birthday and watch how they foolishly squandered it. Since they couldn't manage their money, he decided to leave them a pittance in his will. Right after he died, all his kids went heavily into debt thinking they were about to strike it rich. He left them just enough to pay off the debts they incurred before he died.

My point is that Tori undoubtedly has a shitload of debt because she expected to get a sizable portion of her father's $500 million estate. Not only have we seen those staged pictures of her outside a pawn shop, she's now selling her clothes on eBay. That's got to hurt. Maybe she should have been nicer to her mom, because she could get some eBay tips from her. Her seller posts are very poorly designed.

Jada Pinkett Smith claims to have seen "Suri"

Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith's wife, says that she's seen Tom and Katie's supposed daughter and that she's beautiful. Her quotes are much more believable than Leah Remini's, especially since she's a cult outsider, but I'm not buying it:

"She's one of the sweetest babies I've ever met in my life," Pinkett Smith says. "She's an absolute beauty and she's Daddy's little girl."

Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith have visited with Suri twice, both times at Cruise and Holmes's Beverly Hills mansion.

"She's beautiful and they're very happy and they need to be left alone," says Pinkett Smith, who described Suri while talking to PEOPLE about her participation in last weekend's Philadelphia anti-violence event, Party 4 Peace, run by pal Charles "Charlie Mack" Alston. "She's the cutest little baby. She's got a head full of black, beautiful hair."

I'll take empirical evidence over some actress/singer's word any day. Hey people, I saw a ghost of an old woman last night. She looked incredibly sad, had white hair in a bun, wore a long dress, and I could see through her. Now that I made that claim, that ghost must exist, right?

The Daily Mail calls the rumors that Suri doesn't exist "conspiracy theories" and says that they're "crazy" and "clearly inaccurate." It's not inaccurate to say she's never been seen, and it's easy to dismiss a good argument by labeling it a conspiracy theory without addressing its merits. It's not a conspiracy theory if it's true!

That same crappy article recycles a made up quote by Katie's dad, who originally was said to have complained about Katie's "Buff Brides" workout plan. They changed it around to make it sound like he was disagreeing with Scientology, but the original quote was about her fitness plan. I know it was fake because the article also featured a fake quote by Sue Fleming, the creator of Buff Brides and a family friend.

Here's the quote from the article:

"My daughter needs rest, relaxation and recuperation. It’s all down to Scientology and I simply can’t go along with what is happening."

Here's the original, totally bogus quote:

"My daughter needs rest, relaxation and recuperation. Katie is already doing exercises to build up her back and shoulders and I simply can't go along with what is happening."

The truth is that no one knows how Katie's parents feel about her involvement in Scientology, or about the fact that they supposedly haven't seen their grandchild. Maybe they realize that she doesn't exist and they're in on the scam. Regardless if Jada Pinkett Smith has seen the little changeling, why has nary a bandle been photographed by the ever-present paparrazi?

People can claim that the baby's being shielded by the Scientologist freaks, but wouldn't someone take her out for a walk at least once in the more than three months that she's supposedly been on the planet?

Wax Baby Shiloh revealed!

Now that the first wax baby has been unveiled at Madame Tussaud's museum, it's obvious why they didn't do it sooner. The thing looks like one of those creepy reborn dolls that people paint to look like newborns. My husband's aunt has one of those things at her house, and we took a picture of it because it fascinated us. We also put my then seven month-old son in the doll's bed after he fell asleep. (Before you think I dressed him in too-small clothes, those were his backup pants after he had an accident.)

Waxed Angelina looks like a female impersonator, but she isn't as bad as the wax version of Keira Knightly.

Now that Shiloh is immortalized as an infant, maybe Madame Tussauds can help Tom and Katie dispel those pesky rumors that Suri doesn't exist. She's over three months old and has never been photographed, but maybe Katie can bring her in for a personal wax session. A waxed baby Suri would do wonders to make her seem real.

Lindsay Lohan hospitalized - again

Lindsay Lohan, the hardest working cokehead in show business, had to be rushed to the emergency room for like the 15th time after getting heat stroke on the set of her film, "Georgia Rule."

The 20-year-old actress was rushed to the emergency room Wednesday afternoon suffering from heat exhaustion. According to The Insider, she was taken by private car to an L.A. area hospital from the set of her new movie Georgia Rule.

“She was overheated and dehydrated,” says Lohan’s rep, Leslie Sloane-Zelnick, who adds that the starlet spent a couple of hours in the hospital after being given a Vitamin B shot. “She was filming in 105-degree weather for 12 hours,” she said.

Lohan is expected to return to the set tomorrow.

Though Lindsay was seen partying in L.A. the night before she was rushed to the hospital, friends claim she’s trying to turn over a new Lohan. A friend of the actress, 20, tells Us that Lohan’s new boyfriend, Harry Morton, 25 — who does not use alcohol or drugs — has had a profound effect on her.

I believe she was affected by the heat. I also believe she cut her foot on a teacup after taking a shower. Whether any of these hospitalizations were influenced by substance abuse we may never know.

She's been with that guy Harry for nearly a month and his time's just about up if she's showing up at parties in bikinis. It also can't work to his favor that he doesn't drink or do lines. You can't change Lindsay Morgan Lohan.

Here is Lohan outside of the Ivy restaurant on 7/23 and on the set of "Georgia Rule" on 7/18. She's acting all cat-like, stretching and spreading her legs. You can tell the exhaustion is just about to set in. [via]

Avril Lavigne's honeymoon, 42 HQs

Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley are on their honeymoon in Portofino, Italy. Avril and Deryck were married in a fairytale wedding on a private estate in Montecito, CA on July 15th, 2006.

Avril has been rumored to be pregnant, with bloggers like us gleefully pointing out her tiny stomach bump. She's seen drinking wine in these candids, though, making it unlikely that she's with child.

Avril and Deryck enjoyed jet-skiing, sightseeing and some private cuddle time on a yacht. Their honeymoon hasn't all been casual fun. They were seen dressed up to attend a party.

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to be the first wax baby at Madame Tussauds

A wax figure of newborn Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt will be unveiled at Madame Tussaud's museum today. The famous baby will be placed in an African-themed manger display. Just like her philanthropist parents, little Shiloh is earning even more money for charity:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, has been chosen to be the first infant ever memorialized in wax by Madame Tussauds. The wax statue of Shiloh will be unveiled today. As sources claim the statue will be displayed in an ‘African-themed nursery’ where it will rest in a woven basket. Waxen figures of Brad and Angelina will also be displayed beside Shiloh.

Visitors to the NY exhibit will be allowed to pose with waxen Jolie-Pitt tableau and Madame Tussauds has announced to donate $1 from every picture purchased to UNICEF. That’s great a two months old baby is able to make so much of money for other less privileged kids. Shiloh’s first pictures were sold for $4.1 million and the proceedings were given to charity.

When the pictures come out, we'll publish them here. In the meantime, here are the first pictures of little Shiloh that you've already seen. The little wax baby must be based on these. Awww.

Is George Michael's gay wedding off or on?

Fresh on the heels of getting caught wanking a 58 year-old pot-bellied dude in a park, it was said that George Michael and his longterm partner, American Kenny Goss, have called off their planned gay wedding. The wedding was to take place around their tenth anniversary, sometime before the end of the Summer.

After the photos came out in Britain's News of the World of a disheleved and surprised Michael and his one-time hookup, umemployed Norman Kirtland, Michael's partner defended him, saying that they were putting the incident behind them:

However today while George kept his head down his long suffering partner Kenny Goss decided to stand by his man.

Visibily distraught Kenny, who answered the door at George's £5 million mansion, said: "George is not going to say anything today. He has already said what he wants. This is behind us. That is everything we are going to say on the subject. We are getting on with the rest of our lives."

Reports had the two cancelling their planned wedding, saying that they are "reassessing their relationship," but another story has Micheal insisting the wedding is still on, and making it obvious why hot Goss has stayed with his cheating ass:

But despite straying from boyfriend-of-10-years Goss, the former WHAM! heart-throb is adamant their civil partnership ceremony will still go ahead, joking his $1.8 million (£1 million) anniversary gift had set matters right.

He says, "I'd have to do something he dislikes before it was off." The couple are expected to tie the knot before Michael's 50-date European tour begins in September (06).

Why do people always think an expensive gift will set matters right after they cheat? Probably because it works with their sad, unfulfilled money-grubbing partners. (Kobe, Beckham)

Michael has been embroiled in scandal for several months, after being caught with pot and poppers in his car back in March, and photographed passed out at a stoplight in May. He'll need to get treatment for his sex and drug addiction if he wants to "pull off" a gruelling 50-date tour.

Nicole Kidman bruised by too much sex?

Nicole Kidman is said to have two noticeable bruises on her left leg. They could have been sustained from a bad fall while exercising, or maybe Keith is just banging her too hard:

THE new Mrs Keith Urban shocked guests at a Hollywood party when she arrived sporting a couple of nasty-looking bruises on her left leg.

Wearing a floaty beige dress and looking curvier by the day, 39-year-old Nicole Kidman made no attempt to cover up her marks - causing bemused partygoers to gossip about the possible causes.

As the actress chatted to Tobey Maguire's pregnant fiancee Jennifer Meyer, rumours circulated that the Eyes Wide Shut star was suffering from Compulsive Copulation Disorder.

x17 mentions that Nicole and Tobey used to date, and that running into Tobey and his pregnant fiance might have been awkward, but it didn't look like it.

The Mirror's source is someone scoping out the same high res pictures we have here, because she wasn't at a party at all, she was waiting outside Creative Artists Agency. She has a couple of bruises, but they're pretty minor and don't seem to warrant much speculation. What is more interesting is the little bump she's still sporting. If only that thing would grow...

Lindsay Lohan no longer blames Paris for her hacked Blackberry

Lindsay Lohan is recanting her accusation that Paris Hilton is somehow responsible for the nasty missives that were sent to Lindsay's friends from her hacked Blackberry. Paris probably figured out Lindsay's password and sent the messages, which sound just like Paris' hate-filled idiocy, but Lindsay can't prove it and doesn't want to deal with getting sued.

"Some people think Paris may have been involved because the wording of the messages sounds very familiar," Zelnik [Lindsay's rep] told The New York Post's Page Six.

"They weren't," she now said. "We now have her lawyers looking into it."

Defamer has an eyewitness who claims that Paris complained loudly to her entourage that "firecrotch" was calling her "again" and sent two calls from Lindsay to voicemail.

Poor Lindsay needs a gal pal or a trusty hairdresser who can keep up with her. She's wearing out her fuck buddies quickly and doesn't have anyone to have a raspy chat with.

Lindsay attended Jeremy Piven's birthday party in two different flesh-colored bikinis. There are several things wrong with her outfits. In the pictures of other party-goers she seems to be the only wearing a bikini. Does she really need the attention that badly? She also managed to chose swimwear in two colors that are completely unflattering to her skintone. I'm also a fair-skinned strawberry blonde and I know better than to wear pink or light tan. It just makes her looked washed up. I mean washed out. Then again, maybe she was going for that nude look.

Are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt too busy for each other?

Life & Style suggests that now that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are back in LA, Angelina is so busy with the kids and Brad is so busy with new projects that the two barely have time for each other. It sounds like speculation based on the fact that a few pictures of Brad around town have come out while Angelina hasn't been seen in a while:

Like many busy American couples the pair are living together but leading separate lives, the article suggests.

A friend of Angelina's tells the magazine that she said of Brad, "He's doing so much, I can't keep track of it." The report claims that Brad wanted Jolie by his side when he went to New Orleans, but she didn't want to make the trip with all three kids. And she certainly didn't want to leave them at home with a nanny.

So Brad went to New Orleans alone.

And Angelina, despite earlier reports that she might take some time off and be a stay at home mom for a while has increased her schedule.

She's signed on for some voice work in "Kung Fu Panda" and a has a blockbuster role in "A Mighty Heart" lined up. Brad is busy on Oceans 13 as well.

This is one busy couple.

Meanwhile Brad's grandmother is quoted as saying that he's so sensitive to the pain and suffering he caused Jennifer Aniston by breaking up with her that he's going to wait to marry Angelina:

Betty Russell, 82, claims Pitt opened his heart to her during a telephone conversation...

She says, "Brad promised his last wife on their wedding day they'd be together forever, and they didn't make it. He is a sensitive soul who just wants to make sure he can keep his promise this time around."

Pitt also gave an insight into how he has taken to fatherhood and his relationship with the actress and their two adopted children Maddox, four, and 18-month-old Zahara.

Russell adds, "Brad has always wanted to have children and he is playing the father role very well. The family loved Jennifer. But he has got Angelina now and seems really happy with life.

"(Brad is) very close to (Maddox). He confides little secrets to him".

This isn't a great source, but it could be a real quote. From what I've read, Brad's family really liked Aniston and maybe he just said that to his grandmother to make her feel better about the fact that he's not marrying Angelina and left Aniston high and dry. Earlier reports had Brad clamoring to get married while Angelina was playing characteristically coy.

It could be true that Brad and Angelina are quite busy now, but that doesn't mean they don't get to spend quality time together at home. Most dads and moms manage to maintain loving, communicative relationships while working outside of the home. They just don't have photographers following them everywhere like the Jolie-Pitts.

Here are some pictures of Brad talking on the phone that you've probably already seen. X17 has a video of Pitt talking on the phone and then riding his motorcycle. Somehow it just takes all the mystery out of the photos. My god, even the hottest celebrities can be rather boring.

How Tom Cruise really pissed off Steven Spielberg

Tom Cruise was said to be on Spielberg's bad side after diverting promotion from "War of the Worlds" to his own crazy cult battle against the pharmaceuticals he so desperately needs. It turns out there's yet another reason for Spielberg to be pissed at Cruise: Scientologists showed up to protest the very psychiatrist Spielberg lauded to Cruise in a personal conversation:

It seems that after Spielberg (in a conversation with Cruise present) praised a psychiatrist who had helped a family member, representatives from the psychiatrist-loathing Church of Scientology staged a protest at the doctor's office.

Although Cruise was said to have assured Spielberg that he was not behind this incident, it infuriated the director and (perhaps more important) Kate Capshaw, also known as Mrs. Spielberg. For a time, it seems, the Spielbergs waited in vain for the star to explain how, exactly, those protesters happened to appear at the doctor's office.

Meanwhile Cruise might be dropped by his studio, Paramount. MI3 didn't overwhelm at the box office, and Spielberg's Dreamworks is now owned by Paramount, making Tom's relationship with Spielberg even more important.

Cruise showed up at the Chicago film festival's tribute to Spielberg in an attempt to make up with the director and salvage his tanking career.

It was also rumored that Cruise went to Spielberg's office a month ago with non-existent baby Suri to do a personal photo session with Spielberg. This is obviously untrue, and Spielberg's spokesperson says that the question of the pictures existing "will never be answered."

People say Spielberg looked uncomfortable with Cruise at the film festival tribute, and you can see the photos below.

Cruise's involvement with Scientology has only hindered his career and damaged his relationships with key players. Either he's too brainwashed to get out now, or the cult has such powerful secrets against him that he will never try.

Maybe we'll all find out what's going on, or at least be entertained by more juicy gossip, when Andrew Morton's tell-all Cruise biography comes out.

Here are pictures of Cruise with Spielberg at the film festival that we published earlier.

Paris Hilton says that other girls "use her" to get attention

Someone was sending nasty text messages to Lindsay Lohan's friends, and the messages sounded suspiciously like Paris Hilton's junior-high put downs. Paris has denied being the culprit because of course she couldn't hack anything. It's possible she figured out the password or had someone help her, though:

Paris Hilton who has allegedly been accused by Lindsay Lohan’s publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik of hacking into Lohan’s personal Blackberry and sending out harassing messages to her buddy list, called such claims as absolutely ‘silly’.

"A mysterious troublemaker sent disgusting and very mean messages that everyone thought were coming from Lindsay. They weren`t. We now have her lawyers looking into it. Some people think Paris may have been involved because the wording of the messages sounds very familiar", Zap2it quoted Zelnik, as saying.

But Hilton who has already gone through the ‘hacking business’ when her private info from her Sidekick was leaked onto the Internet in 2004, called the accusations as absolutely ‘silly’ and erroneous.

Whatever. Like we really care about either of these two anymore. They're fun to watch in a car-crash kind of way.

Hilton says that "certain girls use [her]" to get attention. As if she's not the one clamouring for attention all the time:

She says, "All those stories are made up. You know how shy I am... Well, non-confrontational.

"Certain girls just use me to get media attention because a feud with Paris Hilton always gets press."

There's something seriously wrong with talking about yourself in the third person. Paris is non-confrontational. She's so non-confrontational she has to make up stories about fights she's had with other girl celebrities and try to spread them around. Those girls must have wanted attention so badly that they psychically willed Paris to involve them in fantasy fights.

Here's Paris with her sister Nicky in some older bikini candids and doing recent promotion for her single in Costa d'en Blanes and Palma de Mallorca on July 23 and 22. [via]

Kid Rock put in Swiss jail

Kid Rock was temporarily placed in jail in Switzerland after a man was injured in a fight in his hotel room. It is assumed that he was involved:

Rock – real name Robert Ritchie – had been in the country to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival on 30 June but was thrown into the clink after a brawl in his room left a man injured.

However, Rock, who has just got engaged to his longtime on/off girlfriend Pamela Anderson, was released without charge and is looking on the bright side of the incident – he’s going to write a new song about it.

He chortles, “I just gotta figure out what rhymes with Switzerland!”

I live in Switzerland, and am continually amazed at how clean and well run everything is. The public pool near my house is nice enough for a four star resort, and I was at a rest stop by a clear lake with views of the alps last week. If Kid Rock was in jail, it was probably clean and totally adequate, if not comfortable.

Meanwhile Rock is engaged to buxom has-been Pamela Anderson, and there's a pretty believable rumor that they may get married next weekend:

Kid Rock and his new fiancée, Pamela Anderson, could be man and wife as early as next weekend, according to US reports.

The couple, who renewed their romance in St Tropez, France just two weeks ago before announcing their engagement, are reportedly planning a July 29 wedding.

According to American magazine Us Weekly, the couple is planning to exchange vows onboard the yacht where they fell in love all over again in St Tropez.

They are said to be planning a medium-sized wedding with 50-100 of their friends. I read on a bulletin board that they were already married, but I haven't seen that news anywhere else and don't think it's true.

Here is Pam Anderson on the beach in St. Tropez, because who really wants to look at pictures of Kid Rock? [via] It must be hard to find a colorist in the south of France. Kid Rock and Anderson are also shown at random older events.

David Hasselhoff to star in a musical about his life

This sounds like fake news because it's just too good to be true, but David Hasselhoff has embraced his campy image and is going to star in a musical based on his life!

First of all, we are NOT making this up. David Hasselhoff – star of Knight Rider, Baywatch and the new hit variety show America’s Got Talent told us today that he is heading to Australia to appear in a stage production based on his life.

David Hasselhoff: The Musical will include sets inspired by The Young and The Restless, Knight Rider and the songs of Teddy Pendergrass. “I am also doing a heart-rendering set on my life and the mistakes I have made,” the star says. “It sounds like a bad joke, but it is really going to be a good show…totally campy. It’s written by the same people who wrote Bette Midler’s show and produced by the people who produced Chicago in London.”

The production - which features dancers from both Chicago and Jeckyl & Hyde - will open in Melbourne (date to be determined) before hopefully coming to America. “If it ends up in Vegas, how great would that be?” he says. “I want to entertain people. Sammy Davis (Jr.) was my hero.” Hasselhoff, 54, will also release his autobiography, Making Waves, on September 10.

Hasselhoff is definitely not afraid to make fun of himself, as evidenced by his appearance in the Spongebob Movie:

And here's his "Hooked on a Feeling" video, which you've probably already seen since it's clocked hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. I was laughing my ass off watching this movie. Try not to be amused:

That's awesome that Hasselhoff is going to make a musical - it sounds like a parody from "The Simpsons" (Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius!)

Good on 'ya David Hasselhoff, the aussies are going to love your work.

Kate Hudson at the Australian "You, Me, and Dupree" premiere

"You, Me, and Dupree" is not doing so bad at the box office, and is in fourth place on its second weekend out. "Pirates" is still kicking ass at first place, of course. "You Me, and Dupree" is supposed to royally suck, though, and is getting panned by critics.

Kate Hudson won a recent libel award from the British arm of The National Enquirer. Celebrities sue the British and Irish offshoots of US gossip magazines to get around US libel laws, which shield publications from damages unless it can be proven that they acted from malice. (So basically the US gossip rags can make shit up and no one can sue them.) Britney Spears is now suing 8 gossip magazines from offshore in the hopes of scoring some cash to feed her estranged husband's fast lifestyle.

Hudson was refuting a report that she was dangerously thin and that her mother, Goldie Hawn, was worried for her health. She won an undisclosed settlement from the magazine.

Here is Hudson looking like an elf at the July 23rd Australian premiere of "You, Me, and Dupree" with annoying Owen Wilson. She shouldn't wear her hair back because it certainly isn't flattering to her face. [via]

George Michael has sex with random fat 58-year old guy in a park

Singer George Michael was caught trawling for sex in a public place yet again. He was forced to come out in 1998 after being caught in a sting by an attractive policeman in a public bathroom in Los Angeles. He made fun of the incident in the video for his song "Outside" and talked about his shame on Oprah. Now that he's been caught having sex with a nasty old guy he's not going to play it off so easily.

MEGA-RICH pop superstar George Michael this week sank to new levels of depravity—trawling for illegal gay sex thrills in a London park.

News of the World investigators caught the singer red-handed and red-faced as he emerged from the bushes after cavorting with a pot-bellied, 58-year-old, jobless van driver.

When challenged George, 43, was wild-eyed and trembling. Trying to hide his face under a baseball cap, he screamed:

"I don't believe it! F*** off! If you put those pictures in the paper I'll sue!"...

The pair kissed and groped each other before going even further. It was all in a public place and totally illegal — just like the day in 1998 when George flashed at an undercover cop in a California park toilet.

News of the World followed the poor guy that George fondled back to his squalid flat in Brighton. They interviewed the guy and he gave the sordid details:

"He told me I could contact him on the Gaydar website and we just started kissing.

"He did it very well. That was one of his major points. Then it was fondling and mutual pleasuring. It wasn't full sex but it was fantastic."

Kirtland's confession then took a bizarre twist as he bragged: "There's a secret that I have which no one knows about. It's a personal thing.

"Most people pull away from it. But George actually seemed to respond.

"When we'd finished he said, ‘I've got to go. I've got to go somewhere and chill out.' And that was that.

"OK, I admit I was there for sex. But I'm astonished a man as famous as George should even think about doing it. It's potentially so dangerous."

That's nice that George didn't make fun of the old dude for whatever weird thing he's got going on down there. Maybe he's a woman or something. Whatever you're into.

When confronted by The News of The World snoops, who were either in the park for some random fun themselves or who routinely trail George Michael, George said "Are you gay? No? Then f*** off! This is my culture!"

That's like saying it's heterosexual culture to hook up with prostitutes, isn't it?

George Michael is about to embark on a 50-concert comeback tour, which sold out in a half hour.

Here are some low-res pictures from the article. They're too good not to publish.

Gillian Anderson is pregnant - just after leaving her husband

Former X-Files star Gillian Anderson, 37, left her second husband, documentary filmmaker Julian Ozanne, 42, after just 16 months. They announced their split at the end of April.

Anderson is pregnant now with her second child and is dating a new guy, but she's visibly pregnant, and looks like she's about five months along. That means that either she got pregnant by her estranged husband and will be raising his baby with another guy (which is similar to what Heidi Klum did with Seal) or that she was pregnant by her boyfriend and that could be the reason she split up with her husband:

X-Files star star Gillian Anderson is pregnant just three months after splitting from her husband.

The actress, 37, has told friends she is expecting a baby following her separation from documentary-maker Julian Ozanne, her second husband...

Miss Anderson is now reported to be dating wheelclamping firm director Mark Griffiths. The 34-year-old businessman, who operates his lucrative private clamping company from an industrial estate in North London, was previously linked with former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

Last month Mr Griffiths, who used to live close to Miss Anderson's marital home in Notting Hill, West London, moved into her new £3million home in nearby Holland Park.

The couple are also said to have enjoyed a holiday to California with Piper, Miss Anderson's daughter by her first husband, Canadian television art director Clyde Klotz. The actress's marriage to Mr Ozanne broke down shortly after The Mail on Sunday revealed she had a bizarre alcohol-fuelled outburst on a flight in January this year...

When The Mail on Sunday asked Mr Ozanne if his former wife was pregnant he declined to comment.

We speculated back in April that Anderson's relationship with her second husband was probably on the rocks because she seemed to be drinking too much. She suffered from drunken air rage (although one can hardly blame her, with the stress of flying and all) and looked visibly drunk in these candids of her out with her then-husband.

Hopefully she's laying off the sauce now that's she's pregnant and maybe she'll find happiness with her latest beau. It's not too promising that he runs a "wheel-clamping" business, though. Who doesn't hate those guys?

Here are pictures of Anderson from March out with her husband. She is seen at the Belle Epoque Dinner on 3/16 and in some candids looking visibly soused. Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton are also shown. The first set of pictures you may have seen before, but the second set are new to me. [via]

Tori laughs all the way to her deceased daddy's bank

Tori Spelling's not pregnant, so there's no excuse for that weird satin number she was wearing a few weeks ago. She's also due to inherit a large portion of her father's $500 million estate, so she really doesn't give a shit if her cheating pageant-winner mom likes her or not:

Tori Spelling will be seeing green after all. After her father, Aaron, passed away on June 18, there was speculation that Candy Spelling would block her daughter from any inheritance (the two are estranged over Candy’s long-running relationship with Mark Nathanson, which Tori calls “inappropriate”).

But a source tells Us that Tori, 33, will get “a significant portion” of Aaron Spelling’s estimated $500 million estate. Adds the pal, “If Candy had her way, Tori wouldn’t have gotten a thing.”

Obviously Tori knew that she didn't have to get into her mother's good graces to cash in on her inheritance or she wouldn't have talked so openly about getting snubbed by her family.

Let me just apologize for the lack of posting lately. It's hot as hell here in eco-friendly Switzerland without air conditioning, and my son's babysitter is on vacation. To encourage me to continue digging celebrity gossip, please visit the sponsors. Thank you!

Here is Tori at the Much Music awards in Canada last month. [via]

Nicole Richie faints... from hunger or something else?

Nicole Richie was shopping at Kitson in LA, where she picked up a bunch of overpriced bangles. They were probably too heavy for her frail arms because she fainted dead away:

“She was looking through a rack of clothes when she suddenly fainted and hit the floor,” an “eyewitness” told the mag. “The staff helped her to a chair and offered her something to eat. She shot back, ‘No!’ and mumbled something about it being ‘so hot.’” Although Richie turned away food, she did accept a glass of water, reports the mag, and after about 20 minutes “was steady enough to leave.”

So the bangles may have been purchased on another shopping trip when she wasn't so unwell. What's important is that she declined food because there weren't any paparazzi in the store to photograph her eating it.

I fainted a couple of different times after giving blood, so I just don't do it anymore. It's pretty suspect that Nicole is fainting, but she's actually gained a smidgeon of weight. It could be due to low blood sugar or the heat, she's right. Fainting is defined as:

Temporary loss of consciousness caused by disruption of blood flow to the brain, brought on by emotional upset, pain, or hunger. Some people are particularly prone to fainting, but usually recover rapidly and completely.

Richie could certainly be hungry or upset . I remember when Angelina Jolie fainted at the airport a while ago. It turned out she was pregnant. I'm just saying. It's more likely that Nicole is hungry, but she has been spending a lot of time with her ex, DJ AM, lately. They even dress alike, although he looks like he's running away from her in these pictures.

Here are recent pictures of Richie with AM, buying a cat, and at the beach. [via and via]

Jessica Simpson deep throats an ice cream

The video for Jessica Simpson's new single, "A Public Affair," contains enough T&A to make up for the lousy music. Eva Longoria, Christina Applegate and Christina Milian skate around, and Maria Menounos plays the role of Jessica's ex-husband's new girlfried, Vanessa Minnillo, in a fantasy catfight.

While she's lacing up her boots, Jessica spots a hunky dark-haired stranger cavorting with a brunette bimbette, who has an aggressive fantasy about going all Naomi Campbell on Jessica out of jealousy. The violent nemesis just happens to be played by a shapely, smoldering brunette TV entertainment reporter named ... Maria Menounos.

Oh, and Jessica Simpson deep throats an ice cream cone in a brief clip that seems to reveal what she plans to do with the dessert afterwards in order to keep her figure. The thumbnail links to a larger version. [via]

Here's the video which you've probably already seen.

And here's Jessica Simpson at TRL and outside the studios. MTV made sure Vanessa Minnillo wasn't hosting that day. [via]

Fred Durst to marry random fan

Fred "touch my balls and my ass" Durst announced on his myspace that he's planning on marrying his new girlfriend, some chick called Krista from Rhode Island:

here is some new news for the bizkit family and those others who seem to get the news wrong so often. i have met a wonderful girl named Krista from rhode island and have asked her to marry me. she said yes and i am now proud to say that we are engaged to be married. i met her while on location shooting The Education of Charlie Banks in rhode island. i hate the false rumors that have been floating around this silly ass gossiping community of tabloid madness that are nowhere near being true. so i wanted to set the record straight on this particular one before it became something it is not because this is very special to me. i am loving life.

This might last a month or two longer than Scary Spice and Eddie Murphy since there's a non-industry person involved, but not much longer.

Limp Bizkit frontman Durst, 35, dated Britney Spears, and Pamela Anderson in 2003, and Paris Hilton in 2004. Durst's Sidekick was hacked in February of last year, and a cringe-inducing sex tape featuring the singer was released onto the 'net. Durst promptly sued everyone who tried to post it, but then reneged and apologized to some. He is generally considered a male slut with a soft side. He was said to be heartbroken when Britney rebuffed him.

Scary Spice and Eddie Murphy to marry

Newly divorced Eddie Murphy and former Spice girl Melanie B., aka Scary Spice, have been dating a little over a month. They've already gotten tattoos with each other's names on them, and now they're planning on doing something a little less permanent to seal their relationship. Rumor has it they're planning on getting married this September in LA:

Mel, 31, and Murphy - who is 14 years her senior - are reportedly planning to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony attended by just close family and friends.

However, the pair have drawn up a star-studded guest list, which includes Whitney Houston, for their wedding party.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Mel just wants her and Eddie's close family to be there for the simple blessing.

"But they will be inviting their friends to a lavish wedding breakfast reception at the venue afterwards."
Both Mel and the 'Shrek' star have been married before.

Murphy divorced his wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy - who he has five children with - in May after 12 years of marriage.

Mel - better known as Scary Spice during her time in the Spice Girls - married dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998 but the couple divorced three years later. They have a seven-year-old daughter Phoenix-Chi.

Marrying someone less than a year after meeting them usually means the relationship is doomed - especially in Hollywood. This is not going to last, and if Murphy has any cash left from the 90s Scary is going to do well in the settlement.

Jennifer Garner is a responsible mom

Jennifer Garner arrived in Boston from Arizona by private plane with her eight month-old daughter, Violet. She soon found out that the SUV that was transporting her back to Cambridge was not equipped with a carseat. She wasn't having that, and set an example for celebrity moms everywhere by insisting that one be installed before she left:

Jen and Violet got into the SUV waiting to take them to Cambridge only to find that there was no carseat installed. Jen was apparently "adamant" that one be found, and "took the baby in the terminal and didn’t come out until someone returned with a seat...When the guy did come back with one, it took him about 20 minutes to figure out how to secure it. She wasn’t happy.”

Jen's quite an intelligent woman, and she would never jeopardize her baby's safety just to get somewhere a little faster.

Ben and Jen are said to be considering a permanent move to Cambridge. They are staying in the Boston suburb, home to MIT to Harvard, while Ben directs "Gone Baby Gone." Ben's mom and Jennifer's sister live nearby, and sources say they may make it their home base:

As you are sooooooooo aware by now, the Afflecks have settled quite nicely into a rented manse near Ben’s childhood home in the People’s Republic whilst he films “Gone, Baby, Gone.” (The film wraps Aug. 4.) And the Hollywood honeys appear to be quite content with life in Harvard Square as they take daily walks with little Vi in the carriage, chatting up neighbors and fans along the way. Can’t do that in paparazzi-infested Brentwood! The couple, according to [Us Weekly's] sources, plan to commute to the Left Coast for film projects and other movie star commitments, but would call Cambridge home.

And why not? Ben’s mom, Chris, lives nearby, Jen’s sis lives in Newton and ya know how the “GBG” director loves the local politics (they’ve both ponied up to Deval Patrick’s gubernatorial campaign).

I love it in Cambridge and always stay there when I visit Boston. It's a bitch to drive around the city, but the subway is pretty logical and convenient, and it seems like a nice place to live.

Garner is rumored to be pregnant again, with Star Magazine saying that she recently left a medical building looking happy and talking on her cellphone, and eagle-eyed bloggers like us pointing out that her stomach is not perfectly flat. It doesn't seem likely.

Christie Brinkley's husband loves the 'teens

I've ignored this story for a while, thinking it will go away on its own, but it just keeps getting better. Supermodel Christie Brinkley's fourth husband, architect Peter Cook, cheated on her with the babysitter, I mean some barely legal girl who worked in their town, and she's leaving him.

Cook, 47, seduced 19 year-old aspiring singer and shopgirl Diana Bianchi by initially promising to help her with her career. He hired her to work for him at his architecture firm and doubled the salary she made in retail. He wore her down gradually by wining and dining her and playing to her aspirations.

Brinkley, 52, was clueless about the year-long affair until the girl's father, a Southhampton policeman, confronted Cook in front of her at a party and told him to "stop dating my daughter!" To the classic supermodel's credit, she threw her cheating husband out of the house the next day.

Now Pop Singer Samantha Cole, who had a hit with the song "Happy with You," says that Cook seduced her ten years ago when she was barely 18 in a strikingly similar story to the way he snagged Bianchi. He gave her a job at his architecture firm and eventually convinced her to date him.

Cook was single at the time, but when a then 19 year-old Cole broke up with him in 1996 he rebounded hard - by marrying Christie Brinkley:

"I laugh at this, because our story is exactly the same," Cole told The Post, referring to bombshell news that Cook, 47, seduced 19-year-old budding singer Diana Bianchi last year at his Southampton firm. "It's very odd."

"My mother's the one that pointed it out. She said, 'This is you, this is you 10 years ago.' It's definitely weird, it's really weird."

Weirder still is that Cole's mother, a cop, worked in the Southampton Village Police Department with Bianchi's stepdad, Police Officer Brian Platt. And Cole's cousin went to high school with Bianchi. "Someone said to me yesterday that he was trying to recreate me or something," Cole said.

Cole revealed that, at one point, Cook proposed marriage to her in a last-ditch bid to win her back after she broke up with him in 1996. When she refused, Cook - who was by then dating Brinkley - got engaged to the "Uptown Girl" a month later. "I was pretty upset about it, pretty angry," Cole said. "I was the last person he was with before Christie."

Cole says that she was surprised Cook ended up with Brinkley, five years his senior, because he always seemed to prefer younger women. She says he was a gentleman, though, and treated her with respect.

The NY Daily News examines why men stray. It seems Cook wanted to recreate his earlier, exciting relationship. He also was undoubtedly looking for attention and validation:

Lawrence observes that Cook, 47, may have chosen impressionable Diana Bianchi because, unlike his wife, she looked up to him. "In her eyes, he was a God-like figure..."

"He wanted to be admired and worshiped. Being a teen, Bianchi had none of Brinkley's responsibilities and distractions, such as children and a busy career. Her focus could be 100% on Cook.

"She was happy to talk about how wonderful he was and how he would help make her a singing star."

Cook's apparent philandering validates research that shows married men are twice as likely to stray after the age of 40.

I met an older, semi-rich, married guy on the train from NY to Connecticut once. He chose to sit next to me and it didn't take long before he told me his story. He left his first wife for his mistress, who he once had hot frequent sex with. His wife was no longer putting out, though, and the marriage was stifling and boring.

He revealed that his wife was working to get her real estate license and that she also cared for their 7 year-old twin sons. I told him that if he wanted hot sex with his wife he should take some time to listen to her, and try to make things romantic again. He said he gave her all she ever wanted monetarily, along with a fabulous house, so why should he be bothered with talking to her? The asshole was trying to pick me up because his second marriage was failing predictably, just like his first. Once a cheater...

K-Fed jealous of Timberlake, plans to record with Britney!

Britain's The Sun is not a very reliable source, but I couldn't pass this up: Kevin Federline is planning to hammer yet another nail into the coffin of Britney's dormant career by asking her to sing over his "rapping" on his latest album:

KEVIN Federline is recording a song with his wife Britney Spears — in a bid to boost sales of his debut album.

Pals say rapper Kev, 28, is “very nervous” and desperate that Playing With Fire is a hit.

So he has delayed next month’s launch to add the track with pregnant pop babe Britney, 24.

A source close to Kev said: “He will be rapping over her singing.

“But people are warning it could be a bad career move for Britney.”

I won't believe this is true until I read it in another more reputable source, because K-Fed hasn't been around Britney and he doesn't seem humble enough to ask for her help yet.

Kevin was said to have passed up Britney's offer to work with her talented producers on his album a few months ago, and if the crap he's released on his myspace is any indication, it was a dumb move. He now seems to be working with Britney's producers, though, and wants to beat Justin Timberlake on the charts.

Kevin is said to be totally obsessed with being better than his wife's famous ex:

THE MOUSE THAT ROARED? Kevin Federline has apparently commenced hostilities against his wife, Britney's, ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake. "Kevin is totally preoccupied with Justin's music career," a source close to Kevin tells Star mag. "He's incredibly jealous of Justin's musical style, his sales and his popularity." K-Fed's talking tough, now that Brit has helped him land meetings with execs at her — and Justin's — label, Jive Records. "He's convinced himself that he's going to be the next Justin, only better," claims the source. "Kevin even told a friend that he's going to 'pulverize' Justin on the charts. He says he's got the hottest producers in the business and that he can write killer rhymes — and that all Justin has is a silly falsetto and a bad haircut." K-Fed's rep was mum, but Timberlake flack Ken Sunshine laughed hysterically yesterday.

Whatever, K-Fed. Timberlake is a mediocre talent, but he can still rap and sing much better than you ever will, even with the best help in the business. You really suck and you're dragging your stupid tiger-loving wife down with you. Given the fact that she still hasn't dumped your ass, she kind of deserves it.

Are Lara Flynn Boyle and Jack Nicholson back together?

Jack Nicholson and a normal-looking Lara Flynn Boyle were photographed on holiday together in Saint Tropez.

Legendary actor Jack Nicholson and Lara Flynn Boyle have been photographed enjoying a holiday together in Saint Tropez, fueling rumors the former couple have rekindled their romance. Nicholson, 69 and Boyle, 36, were spotted lounging in the sun together on a speed boat in the French Riviera on Tuesday.

The pair dated from 1999 to 2001. They went public with their relationship after they were involved in a car crash. Boyle was dating comedian David Spade at the time of the accident and was a passenger in Nicholson's Mercedes when it collided with another car in the Hollywood Hills in July 1999.

Now I had conveniently forgotten that Lara Flyn Boyle also dated David Spade, but Jack Nicholson was definitely a move up for her at the time.

Now that Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock also reunited in Saint Tropez - and are getting married - exes around the world are going to flock to the French Riveria to get back that certain spark that cheating and fighting put out the last time around.

Official pictures of Avril Lavigne's wedding, including the reception

Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley were married last weekend in California, and Canada.com has the official photos. They're low quality, but clear and lovely, and show the happy couple exchanging rings, kissing, eating the cake, and taking off Avril's garter during the reception. Picture captions include details such as the chandelier that hung from the flower-draped awning under which they were married, and their four-tiered half-chocolate half-vanilla wedding cake.

Avril says that the ceremony was an emotional moment for her, and that she did her best to keep poised:

"I almost started crying as soon as I started walking down the first set of stairs,” Avril told ET Canada. “I just told myself: ‘You can't cry now, it's the beginning.’ So I had to hold it all in and I wanted to keep my composure. And I did.”

Guests took home guitar picks with the bride and groom's name, and custom gift boxes. I wonder how long it will take before they hit eBay.

Pictures from Canada.com. Some higher resolution candids of the cermony that were not published here before are at the end and are from ALavigne.com.br.

Colin Farrell once spent three hours begging a 70 year-old for sex

Colin Farrell says his son "gave him a reason to live" and that he hasn't had a drink in six long months.

He was once such a user that he spent over three hours begging a 70 year-old woman to sleep with him. Maybe he just wanted the experience:

A psychiatrist asked him to write down how much he did in a week - 20 ecstasy tablets, four grams of coke, six grams of speed, half an ounce of hash, three bottles of Jack Daniels, 12 bottles of red wine, 60 pints and 280 cigarettes.

But one of the most bizarre claims came from veteran British actress Dame Eileen Atkins. She claimed that Colin spent nearly three hours begging her to sleep with him - three weeks before her 70th birthday. She turned him down.

His boozing and womanising have become legendary since he arrived in Hollywood seven years ago - and he has rarely been seen in public without a drink, a female companion, or usually both.

He has been linked to a string of stars, including Demi Moore, Kate Beckinsale, Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie, and was married to actress Amelia Warner for four months in 2001 - a romance he summarises as "too fast, too young".

Colin has recently been said to be seeing actress Lake Bell, 27, who he met making Pride And Glory. But he says: "I don't have a better half or significant other. I've found a love I never thought I'd find with my son.

"And with my life as it is now, it would be very hard to have somebody - for them and me. I'm never in one place for longer than three or four months and have been living in hotels for seven years.

"Plus, I find that the work takes a certain amount out of me and as much as it would be nice to have somebody to pick me up a little bit, sometimes I just want to be on my own with my own thoughts. I've been lucky enough to have been in love a few times and I've felt how wonderful it is. But it comes with a lot of responsibility and pressures.

Colin, 30, is now clean and sober, except for chain smoking, and is ready to be a responsible father. His sister watches his 3 year-old son, James, while he's on set.

If Colin really did try to sleep with a 70 year-old woman, the memory must be as powerful a motivator to stay off drugs as the feeling of responsibility for his infant son.

Here is Colin on the set of his new movie, (title unknown) on 7/11. [via]

Rachel Weisz and her adorable baby

Rachel Weisz was snapped getting into a supposedly new Jeep in NY on 7/15. The pictures are captioned "Rachel Weisz and her new baby buy a new jeep," but it's hard to tell if the jeep is actually new.

Weisz may reprise her role as Brendon Frasier's girlfriend in "The Mummy 3."

She is said to want to keep her six-week old son, Henry Chance, out of show business, and talked about her too-early start:

“Big hair, big pout, really working the camera at just 13,” she remembers, “I certainly wouldn’t let my children do it.”

She looks fabulous and natural in these latest candids, and seems to be a hands-on mom. Also shown is her husband, director Darren Aronofsky. [via]

What's more real: Suri or the Loch Ness Monster?

People are comparing Suri to Bigfoot, so I thought I'd change it to the Loch Ness Monster to be original. Like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, there are "eyewitness" accounts, but no verifiable photographs of the Scientology savior, Suri Cruise. Something's wrong with the baby or it simply does not exist. Katie may have had it earlier than "expected" or she may have suffered an unfortunate miscarriage that hasn't been acknowledged. Regardless there is something off about this story that needs to be exposed by the mainstream gossip press.

All sane celebrity friends of Tom and Katie have yet to see the baby, except for Leah Remini, a devout Scientologist who now claims to have seen the infant:

Entertainment Tonight reports that the actress said in an interview in the upcoming issue of Us Weekly that she visited the baby several weeks ago.

"She's a newborn and normal size!" Remini said.

Like Tom Cruise, Remini is a member of the Church of Scientology.

Even though they had a very public courtship, Cruise and Holmes have not presented their baby in public and so far haven't inked a deal with a magazine for exclusive photos of the baby.

Conspiracy theories abound in the tabloid press and on blogs about why baby Suri hasn't been seen. Some even speculate that the baby doesn't exist at all, while others point out that Tom Cruise also kept his two adopted children, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, out of the public eye when they were little.

As for Suri, a family friend described the baby as "a cross between the two – [with] dark, straight hair and dark eyes."

Yeah, so we'll take your word for it, Leah Remini, even though Suri or a bundle resembling an infant has never been photographed despite hoards of paparrazi trailing the Holmes-Cruise family for the past three months. The infant also hasn't been seen by non-Scientology celebrities since it was said to be born three months ago, and the "birth certificate" is suspect.

There's a far-away blurry picture of Katie Holmes holding a tow-headed baby, but that's probably a fake. There's also a far-away picture of what looks like a baby carriage, but it could be a prop or something else entirely.

None of Katie's family has seen the baby according to reports, but Katie was said to have visited them in Ohio at the end of May - and to have brought Suri with her! WTF is going on?!

Katie was spotted back in LA visiting her favorite overpriced store, Barneys. As one commentor on x17 points out, she didn't buy any baby items. I always get something for my son when I'm shopping.

The bloggers always uncover stories before the mainstream press does, and this is no exception. It's not as important as a lack of WMD in Iraq, but it's just as obvious.

Britney continues to use bodyguards as mannies; likes tigers

Britney Spears was spotted with yet another bodyguard taking over manny duty. This unknown guard bears a striking resemblance to a bloated Ben Affleck and was pushing the Graco stroller while Britney chatted on the phone. She looked relatively cleaned up and presentable for an average day out.

Meanwhile Kevin Federline was seen toting a trendy piece of exercise equipment, the BOLA trainer, which some suggest is a rude ass hint to Britney. They have those things at my gym and I think you're supposed to balance on them and train your abs, but I have no idea since I generally avoid exercise equipment that makes me look foolish. (I have a theory that trainers capitalize on this and make people do dumb shit they would be too embarassed or confused to do on their own.)

Kevin will be "rapping" at the Teen choice awards on August 20th. It will be surprising if he performs "Papazoa," since he said recently that the entire song was a joke meant to set peoples' expectations for his talent low.

Britney has posted a new "stream of consciousness" poem-thing on her website in praise of tigers - yes tigers. She expounds on the wild beasts in a segment that's reminiscent of an elementary school essay:

In some ways, people are a lot like animals. We all hunger for the same things. Love, lust, danger, warmth and adventure. Like people, animals all have their own rythm to life. I'm mesmirized [sic] by tigers. Their eyes, their stripes, their constant quest of [sic] survival. They almost have a sense of mysteriousness about them. They pull you in and make it difficult to look away. They make you wonder what is behind their gaze. A sense of eerie awe comes over you in their presence. The fear they give you when you pass them is stunning. Behold the beauty of the tiger.

I'm mesmirized by Britney's excellent prose. I would wonder why one of her handlers didn't edit this or advise her against posting it, but she went on national television in short shorts with hair looking like a rat's nest, so this little poem is a minor indiscretion.

Here is Britney and Ben Affleck, I mean her bodyguard/manny that's not Perry:

Buy Matthew McConaughey's Stingray Convertible on eBay

Hero Matthew McConaughey, who routinely saves kittens, children, and swooning middle-aged women from the brink of death, is auctioning off his 1971 Corvette Stingray Convertible on eBay to benefit Oprah's Angel Network charity. Notice how all the "G"s are removed from the ends of words in the item description to make McConaughey's quotes more believable. It looks like a search and replace job:

"I’ve gone to Mexico & back in it, driven across Texas in it...lotta late night drives...take off at midnight and get on the open highway with the top down...top was very seldom up in my drives. Enough room in the trunk for one persons back pack, or two for real light travel."
"I admire and enjoy this car, but it’s a luxury that I’m willin to relinquish at this point because I am fortunate enough to have everythin I need, and the sale of it will help so many with the necessities in life...part of stayin connected with an on-goin cause to help those in need for the long term...besides, I can’t pull my Airstream with it!"

[via]

With so many hours of drive time, the car's going to have that authentic McConaughey smell that even the most thorough detailing job won't be able to eliminate.

Here are pictures of the car from eBay and some photos of McConaughey arriving at the ESPY awards on July 12th. [via] He looks like he went biking with Lance and Jake beforehand. If you can't grow a full beard, don't bother.

Naomi Watts in a bikini

Naomi Watts doesn't look even a little bit pregnant - or bloated for that matter, in a bikini off the coast of Italy. Before I'm accused of nitpicking, I'm mentioning this because Naomi was rumored to be pregnant a few weeks ago, which can be attributed to all the loose tops she's been wearing and certainly not her figure. She is in Ischia, Italy with her boyfriend of over a year, actor Liev Schreiber, for the Global Film Festival.

Both sets of pictures of her in a bikini and on a private yacht are said to be from 7/16.

Christina Aguilera in a see through top

There's not much of a story to go along with these pictures. Aguilera's International Barbie Pepsi ad aired in the US this week, but we already covered that. Here's Aguilera at her hotel in Paris on July 17th. She seems to have ditched her nipple ring.

The fat guy ogling her in one of the pictures is pretty disgusting. One forgets that celebrities are the subjects of all sorts of creepy desires. When they dress like Christina Aguilera, it's no wonder.

Britney and Kevin living apart

Britney Spears is staying in a hotel while her husband, Kevin Federline, is at the couples' mansion with his ex, Shar Jackson and his kids from their relationship:

Sources tell us the 24-year-old pregnant singer is staying at LA's plush Beverly Hills Hotel, while hubby Kev Federline spends time with the kids from his relationship with Shar Jackson at his and Brit's marital home in Malibu.

A friend reveals: "Things are far from rosy. They're trying to make it work but there are still issues that need addressing.

"Britney's got to be calm for the birth of her second child, so she's taking time out from their problems and giving herself some space."

To make matters worse, Shar and Kevin are rumored to be planning a duet together! Britney was said to be enraged a few months ago when Shar recorded her own version of Britney's "Chaotic," with Kevin's blessing. This latest news had got to annoy her. How much will it take before she breaks up with him and reclaims her life?

Britney and Kevin were said to be using a $1,000 an hour relationship counselor, but how much is it going to help if they're never together?

In Justin Timberlake's new GQ article, he either slams or supports Britney depending on which quote the press wants to focus on. He said he was dissapointed that she didn't stick up for him after their breakup, but that she deserves more lenient treatment by the press:

"When we initially parted ways, I felt like she had a couple of opportunities to just sort of stick up for me, and she didn't."

"I feel bad for her. We all make mistakes. We all came from the same school, with Christina, myself, Britney."

It doesn't sound like Timberlake is going to come to Britney's rescue. Now that Perry is helping her out again, maybe she'll get the courage she needs to stand on her own. I'm not going to hold my breath, though.

Mischa Barton in talks for Desperate Housewives role

Mischa Barton is reportedly in talks to join the cast of the once-good "Desperate Housewives." She's young, intelligent and naturally gorgeous. That's gotta piss off most of the cast:

MISCHA BARTON is reportedly being lined up for a role in TV sensation DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. After quitting THE OC - the teen show that made her famous - the British-born star is rumoured to be discussing a new role with Desperate Housewives creator MARC CHERRY. Cherry's spokesperson says, "He's interviewing and auditioning all the time. "I'm sure Mischa would be a welcome asset to the show but who knows what will happen?"

If Barton joined, she could add a breath of fresh air to the failing series, and some much needed competition to the older women on the cast. There are no cute 20-somethings on the show, and it would be a good idea to court Barton to sign on.

Here are pictures of Mischa's latest nip slip that you've probably already seen. They're NSFW.

Carmen and Dave confirm they've split

Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro have been rumored to be on the outs since early March. They did PR damage control at the time, but they must not have done enough to save their relationship It is surprising that it took them so long to acknowledge it. Sources say that Carmen is never around Dave, and is travelling frequently without telling him where she'll be or when she'll be home. Their rep confirms the breakup:

Electra and Navarro are "amicably separating," says rep Jill Fritzo. They married on Nov. 22, 2003 in a wedding documented on the 2004 MTV reality show 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave.

Dave is said to be living with a new girlfriend he's been seeing for five months, socialite Sarah Howard. She's also a brunette and bears a slight resemblance to Carmen.

The MTV reality show now has a better record than The Bachelor and Bachelorette at breaking up couples. It seems starring in a reality series is the kiss of death for a relationship.

Brad Pitt loves being a dad, burpin' babies, with video

Brad Pitt says that having children is his biggest accomplishment, and that it keeps him from focusing on his hair and hot body. Speaking to Anne Curry of the Today Show, he said:

"I'm so tired of thinking about myself. I'm kinda sick of myself.

I can't do justice to it anymore than any other parent can. You feel that you want to be there and you don't want to miss out on anything. And it's a true joy. And you want to be there for them if they need anything. It's a true joy."

"[Having children is the] best thing I ever did. You know, you can write a book, you can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I've ever taken on. And, man, if I can get a burp out of that [baby], that little thing, I'll feel such a sense of accomplishment.:"

He is sponsoring a $100,000 contest to design a 12-unit apartment building in the most eco-friendly way possible, and hopes to bring awareness to the need to rebuild New Orleans while preserving the environment.

Here's a video of the Today segment:

Brad Pitt always seemed rather bland to me, but it's good to see him bringing awareness to important causes, and I definitely agree that being a parent is amazing. The Jolie-Pitts seem to have struck the best balance between being in the spotlight without having people get sick of them. If only they would hire a less aggresive security force.

Al Reynolds, Star Jones' husband, visits a divorce lawyer

It turns out that gig with HGTV may not work out for Star Jones, because they deny having any plans to hire her, and so do Fox News and CNN, two other networks she claimed to be in talks with. Now that Star is talk show poison, her husband, Al Reynolds, seems to have decided there's no reason to continue his sham marriage. He was spotted at the NY office of a high profile divorce attorney:

Last week Al Reynolds visited the offices of the divorce law firm Blank Rome LLP in New York's Chrysler building. MediaTakeOut.com spoke exclusively with a building employee who first noticed Star's soon-to-be-ex. According to the witness, "Al walked up to the security desk and signed in to visit [one of the Blank Rome's divorce lawyers] Stanford Lotwin."

Mr. Lotwin is one of the most prominent divorce attorney's in New York. He worked on the high-profile divorces of Howard Stern, Donald Trump, Geraldo Rivera and Diana Ross.

After remaining upstairs for nearly two hours, Al tried to quietly sneak out of the building. But before he could leave, the witness tells MediaTakeOut.com, "I walked up to him and said 'Al, is that you', and Al ran out of the building - almost knocking over a pregnant woman."

For Star Jones, this news couldn't come at a worse time. Ever since she was fired from the popular morning show The View, the daytime diva has been having trouble finding a new job. According to one insider, Star's publicists have been telling everyone that would listen that she has a job offer from HGTV and that she's interviewing with FOX News and CNN. But all three networks have vehemently denied having any plans that include the former lawyer. In fact, one representative for FOX News told MediaTakeOut.com that the network "has no interest in working with Star."

Once big gay Al divorces her, Star could channel her anger and become a homophobic conservative. That might help her land a gig on FOX. She could spread her unique brand of vile across the airways. Hatred is a smidgeon more believable coming from a minority. That's how Michelle Malkin got famous.

When doing my three minutes worth of research for this post, I came across the website for Star Jones and Al Reynold's wedding, dated Fall, 2004. They commit a couple cardinal sins of web design with a stupid Flash entry page and making people enter their e-mail address to access content (I entered "biggayal@hotmail.com" This worked fine).

Regardless it's clear they protest too much. I couldn't read through all the glurge about their relationship because it kind of made me sick to my stomach. Here are some choice quotes made hysterical by this latest news:

We take marriage very seriously. We believe that marriage should be a blessed state of commitment, fidelity and love through God. Because of our love of Christ and our commitment to follow his teachings, we know that our marriage will have a sturdy foundation built upon the Word of God.

We know that our love will be sustained through faith in the promises of Christ and the prayers and support of friends and family.

God may be powerful and all, but He can't make a gay person straight, no matter how much they hype their wedding with a formerly obese talk show host.

Lindsay Lohan's ProActiv Commercial

I can't believe Lindsay accepted an endorsement gig as a ProActiv spokesperson. Diddy and Jessica Simpson did it, but it seemed like a rumor when I first heard about it.

A few years ago I actually used ProActiv. It's a bit drying, but I have to admit that it worked on my skin, which only occasionally broke out beforehand but was really clear when I was using it. OMG - please send me some cash ProActiv, because I just plugged your stupid skincare system.

Katie Holmes denies second pregnancy

A "neighbor" of Katie Holmes was quoted speculating that she's pregnant again, but we highly doubt it. It would be difficult to get visibly pregnant so soon after the supposed birth of her last child.

Media and fans have been kept on their toes ever since the former 'Dawson's Creek' actress gave birth to Suri in April, as she has rarely been seen in public since then. Experts suspect the star has been hiding away because she is with child once again, and her neighbor seems to agree.

Katie's neighbor revealed to US Weekly, "I heard from a lot of people that Katie is pregnant."

But while the soon-to-be-married star was visiting Cruise's Holiday home on Monday in Telluride, Colorado, she wasted no time slamming the rumors.

Holmes insisted to US Weekly, "I am not pregnant again."

Meanwhile, Katie enjoyed a portion of her stay in Colorado with one of her girlfriends, where they drank coffee and 'window shopped'.

But of course the new mom was without her baby girl once again, which has proven discouraging to her fans.

Holmes then told a horde of onlookers, "Suri's doing great! She's back at the house."

About a month ago, some random person claimed to have seen a baby-like bundle from afar that might have been Suri. Now that Tom and Katie are in Telluride, Colorado, a store clerk says that they've actually seen Suri and she's "funny looking." If Suri were out in public, why aren't there paparrazi photos of it? Isn't Telluride a haven for the rich and famous? There must be photographers there.

A few eyewitness claim they even had a glimpse of mysterious Suri, as Katie Holmes engaged in an invigorating trek in the woods.

A waitress gushed, "She exists! I saw her thick black hair."

The magazine quotes locals as saying Suri has "small hands" and is "funny-looking."

A large percentage of people have camera phones and I know I carry a digital camera around with me all the time. Why aren't there any pictures of Suri if "eyewitnesses" actually saw her. The first picture of Violet Affleck was a blurry cameraphone photo that everyone posted right away. This is bullshit - no one saw that baby. Read TMZ's conspiracy timeline - it's rather convincing.

There's a tell-all book about Tom Cruise coming out by Princess Diana's biographer, Andrew Morton. He's done a lot of research, but there's no word as to when it will be published. You know it will contain a bunch of shocking revelations about the pint-sized cult spokesperson.

Meanwhile Tom and Katie also had a bag of groceries and a bunch of cherry soda delivered by private jet from Hollywood to Telluride. Their consumables travel better than I do.

Here is Tom Cruise presenting Steven Spielberg with the Golden Hugo award at the Chicago Film Festival this Saturday. [via] They supposedly had a falling out after Cruise talked too much Scientology crap during promotion for "War of the Worlds," and it's clearly important to Tom that he put those rumors to rest. He doesn't seem to care that people think his baby is fake, though.

Mr. T to host self-help daytime talk show: "I Pity the Fool."

Mr. T is going to host a new talk show in which he capitalizes on his catchphrase and persona from "The A Team." He's not going to let people wallow in their mysery or phobias, and will help them snap out of it in harsh but understanding style. He says his show will not tolerate whiners:

He aspires to give Dr. Phil a run for his money, and on that subject observed: "My show ain't no Dr. Phil where people sit around crying [at this point, Mr. T affected a whiny voice], 'What's wrong with me, Dr. Phil? What's wrong with me, Dr. Phil?' You are a fool. That's what's wrong with you."

Similarly, when asked how he would counsel Tony Kornheiser, the Washington Post sportswriter who is afraid of flying but has taken a travel-intensive job in the Monday Night Football broadcast booth, Mr. T said: "Straighten up and stop being a coward. Don't be no fool. Get on that plane and fly, fool, fly."

Perhaps the best question of Mr. T's appearance this week before the Television Critics Association, a question admirable both for its cheek and succinctness, was: "Mr. T, why do you pity the fool?"

"That is a good question. That is a good question and a legitimate question," Mr. T replied. "And I'm the man to answer it. You pity the fool because you don't want to beat up a fool. You know, pity is between sorry and mercy. See, if you pity him, you won't have to beat him up. So that's why I say fools you gotta give another chance because they don't know no better."

That's awesome and it's too bad I live in Europe and will have to wait to watch it until it hits the Internet. With Mr. T hosting a talk show, the clips are sure to hit YouTube fast.

"I Pity the Fool" premieres on TVLand on October 11.

In related news, Mr. T has ditched his trademark pile 'o chains out of respect for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. He also says that celebrities shouldn't just pose with victims, they should do their best to help out:

"As a spiritual man, I felt it would be a sin against my God for me to wear all that gold again because I spent a lot of time with the less fortunate," he said.

Mr T also had some strong words to give to other celebrities after the disaster, "I saw some, I call it 'sorry celebrities'. They'll go down there and hook up with the people to take a photo-op."

"I said, 'How disgusting.' If you're not going to go down there with a cheque and a hammer and a nail to help the people, don't go down there".

This is a British source, so while I believe that Mr. T might have ditched his gold chains, I'm not quite so sure that he criticized celebrity volunteers so openly. He's trash-talking, but it seems out of character.

Mr. T has two different myspaces, but I doubt either is real.

I wouldn't mind having a $1,000 purse or some frivolous jeans, but I usually don't envy the very rich or famous - except when it comes to travelling. They don't have to go through the incredible bullshit that the rest of us endure just to get from point A to B.

After flying from NY to London with a three hour delay, then waiting 45 minutes in line to get my flight changed since I missed my connection, then flying another two hours and being made to wait standing outside a locked baggage claim office for ten minutes while the receptionists looked at me without a nod of acknowledgment, I almost started freaking out. Did I mention that I was alone with a two year-old toddler and had been travelling for 13 hours? I understood air rage at that moment.

When my husband told me that Naomi Campbell trashed her lover's yacht, I thought "Well maybe she had a hard day." Her days never approach the level of difficulty an average person faces, and she was on a chi-chi yacht with space and air, not some cramped commercial airline with overperfumed stewardesses.

While the rest of us get pissy and bitchy, Naomi Campbell takes dramatic, violent action.

Bitch caused $55,000 worth of damage after she got in a tiff with the chef over the plain mozarella and dried ham appetizer that he served. It seems she doesn't understand simple Italian fare, and she coped by busting up the place:

The supermodel wrecked £30,000 of furniture and fittings — because she did not like his starters or the wine.

Fiery Naomi, 36, clashed with the chef aboard £1.5million yacht Nasma on Italy’s Tuscan riviera.

Naomi asked him to create a memorable, romantic meal for her and new lover Badr Jafar, a Dubai-born prince.

But his simple tomato, mozzarella and dried ham starter with a local white wine failed to impress.

Reports say Naomi — already fired up after a row with a photographer — told him where to shove it, and he hit back in “colourful Tuscan dialect”.

Staff on the 100ft yacht ducked as she lashed out at antiques, light fittings, china plates and glasses.

A man in Viareggio harbour said: “All hell seemed to break loose. All you could hear was shouting and screaming in English. There was the sound of plates being broken.

“Some of the crew later said the kitchen was a complete mess and the curtains and cushions had all been ripped apart.”

The chef, called Andrea, works at Viareggio restaurant il Porto.

A colleague said last night: “He wouldn’t have taken insults from Naomi.”

She needs to get medicated and go into therapy. I think she also should get dropped from all her current ad campaigns, because she's not going to change unless it hits her where it hurts. Hopefully one of the libel suits against her will also stick - hard.

Here she is looking like the victim for once. (Why do magazines do this to women? I usually don't complain about objectification, but this is ridiculous. It's Naomi, though, so that's ok.) These are from Style magazine and are low resolution.

Snakes on a Motherf%$*ing Plane is good, raucous fun!

A guy got to see "Snakes on a Plane," the film that we've all been hyping due to its literal title and the fact that Samuel L. Jackson kicks ass. (It also doesn't hurt that filmmakers listened to the blogs, encouraged us, and are said to have incorporated our wishes into the film. This is unlike most marketers who e-mail me all obvious asking for coverage, or network executives who try to block "proprietary" content from the web where they're getting the best free advertising ever.)

The reviewer may have been influenced by his coveted status as the first guy who gets to comment on the film, but he seems totally believable to me and he has a good reputation on "Ain't it Cool News," which is a well-known movie review and industry news site.

He says that "Snakes on a Plane" is so good that it's reminiscent of Hitchcock's "The Birds." It's trashy fun that's pulled off with style!

After having to sit through this year’s overproduced, bloated, pretentious studio product that desperately tries to disguise its B movie roots… finally here’s a movie that hunkers down to give the audience a shameless good time.

Of course “Snakes On A Plane” is ridiculous, but it’s also nonstop fun.

These filmmakers aren't embarrassed to deliver everything exactly as promised. The only thing that will probably go unnoticed after the huge opening weekend grosses, as well as consternation from cinematic elitists, is that “Snakes On A Plane” is a much better movie than it has any right to be with such a crazy premise and ridiculous title.

“Snakes On A Plane” functions as both a competent thriller as well as a full-blown horror movie.

In some ways, the film shares a certain kinship with another movie set on a plane that I enjoyed: “Executive Decision,” which stretched credibility with great ingenuity in order to entertain.

Of course, that movie didn't feature the unnerving slither quotient that gives this film its now legendary distinction.

Believe it or not, “Snakes On A Plane” shares an unexpected kinship with Hitchcock’s “The Birds,” a film that was also derided as absurd upon initial release, wherein natural everyday anxieties, such as flying, are sent off the charts by an unforeseen element being thrown into the mix.

It’s bad enough to be on a rough flight, but imagine the floor around you filled with as many snakes as Indiana Jones was forced to contend with.

Believe it or not, “Snakes On A Plane” actually doesn't insult the audience. The director and screenwriters work hard to keep ratcheting up the suspense, both on the ground and in the air, and approach some of it with actual sophistication.

There’s actually some logic that comes into play throughout… and no one will be checking their watches during this movie. Like the venomous creatures that attack the passengers and crew… this movie is lean and mean.

Samuel L. Jackson is believable in a role which could otherwise seem over-the-top or beneath him. He says that line we've all been clamouring for, that was added after blogger behest.

It's Snakes on a Motherfucking Plane! They didn't change the title of the film, and it's closer to "The Birds" than "Anaconda." I can't wait to see it.

Some of the online community is sick of "Snakes on a Plane" already and says that it's "so last month" and is bound to suck. It may have been a victim of its overpopularity and is experiencing a lull in buzz now that it's been covered so thoroughly. It comes out August 18, 2006, and we'll have to see how it does at the box office and if other reviewers agree that it really kicks ass.

The years have not been kind to Shannen Doherty

It must be very stressful to be an out of work celebrity who has to resort to hosting second rate reality shows on little-known cable networks. I saw these photos of Shannen Doherty promoting her new show on Oxygen in which she helps couples split up or something, and thought, "OMG, how old is she?" Doherty is 35, but looks 45. She's just aged terribly. Of course she looks good in the airbrushed promo photos for the series.

Doherty held a press conference to announce her new show, and got all upset when asked about her reputation:

The actress, who began her career at age 9 and became as infamous as she was famous when she starred on "90210" for her diva and bad-girl ways, became emotional when she was asked if her goal of helping people had anything to do with cleaning up her image.

"I'm not going to lie to you; it hurts a lot to read the stuff I read about myself, and it hurts me and it hurts my mom a lot," said Doherty, who choked back tears as she looked at her mother, who was nearby. Doherty acknowledged she had only herself to blame for much of what had been written about her, but she later asked reporters to give her another chance.

"I hate to use the word 'unfair' because, again, I have to stand up and say it wasn't just the press," she said. "I played a huge part, a huge part, and everybody has a job. And if I'm creating some of the drama, then you guys have a job to report it.

"But where I start to say 'OK, now we're getting out of hand' is when nobody lets it die," she said. "Nobody says, 'You know what? She was young. Give her a break.' Give me a chance to mess up again. Stop writing about stuff that happened 10 years ago. Stop bringing up every bad thing in my life. And give me another chance to mess up. If I mess up again, then write about it. But just let me breathe and let my parents breathe. Let them pick up the paper and it says one nice thing about me."

You got it, Shannen. We are moving on to the fact that you said you have been on only one date in the last 18 months and have reached a time in your life when you can declare: "I don't need a man to make me happy."

Looking fit in a strapless black top and white slacks and refreshingly her age (read: no Botox), Doherty 'fessed up about something else regarding her show. She is not selling herself as an authority on relationships.

"I think an expert doesn't mess up nearly as many times as I have," she said. "I think that I'm good with getting over relationships. I'm good with dealing with the guilt, the tears and the mourning and the grief because God knows I've done it enough."

That's too bad that Doherty hasn't dated in so long and maybe this show will help her hook up with a new guy. She doesn't look "refreshingly her age," though. She looks 7-10 years older. Am I right or am I just accustomed to the Botoxed plastic look?

Avril Lavigne's fairytale wedding - over 50 pictures

Avril Lavigne wed her fiance of over two years, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, in a fairytale setting on a private estate in Montecito, CA on Saturday. She wore a Vera Wang gown with a flowing train and long veil and carried a bouquet of white roses. Her father walked her down the aisle:

At the outdoor, non-denominational ceremony, Lavigne was walked down the aisle by her father, John, to Mendelssohn's "Wedding March." She wore a Vera Wang gown and carried a bouquet of white roses.

The couple said their vows under an awning decorated with white flowers in front of 110 guests, including family and friends from their native Ontario.

Once the groom had kissed the bride, guests tossed rose petals at the newlyweds as they walked back up the aisle.

After the wedding, guests were to be treated to an outdoor cocktail hour before the reception, including a sit-down dinner, under a tent on the estate. In contrast to the all-white ceremony, the reception will have a red theme, with centerpieces of red roses and other flowers.

The couple's first dance is expected to be to the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris."

Lavigne, 21, and Whibley, 26, have been together for two years, and became engaged in Venice, Italy, in June 2005, while Lavigne was on the last leg of her European tour.

In late 2004 Lavigne started sporting a small pink heart-shaped tattoo with the letter "D" on her right wrist, supposedly for her guitarist-singer-lyricist beau.

Its such a beautiful setting for a wedding and it looks like a lovely event. It's nice to see the pictures, but unfortunately that means that helicopters were hovering over the ceremony. Hopefully it didn't detract from the moment for the happy couple or their guests.

Thanks to ALavigne.com.br for the high quality photos. There are some watermarked images at the beginning and end, but most of the photos are decent quality. [via]

Is Jennifer Garner pregnant again?

X17 online points out that Jennifer Garner's got a bump on the set of her latest movie, thriller "The Kingdom." It just looks like an unflattering shirt tucked in where it shouldn't be, but you can never be sure. We were all over that "Nicole Kidman's pregnant - now she isn't" story, and we'll continue to report the bump watch celebrities. We're sure to be right once in a while.

Garner has a seven month-old daughter, Violet, with husband Ben Affleck. She may just be having trouble losing the baby weight, although she still looks great. It was reported a few months ago that she was planning on getting naked in her new film, "Sabbatical." I wonder if that's true and when it will start filming.

The pictures of Jen on set were supposedly taken on June 30th, and from Jen-Fans.com and are medium resolution. The candids of Jen in a white top are from X17online.com and are low resolution.

Christina Aguilera becomes an International Barbie for Pepsi

Pepsico tries to show that carbonated sugar water is palatable to all gullible cultures by posing Christina Aguilera in various outfits and hairstyles that would look just as good on International collector Barbies.

Aguilera used to shill for Pepsi's biggest competitor, Coke, but moved over when they gave her the chance to spend more time in hair and makeup. Her endorsement deal is said to be around $3.7 million:

Pop star Christina Aguilera is promoting Pepsi on a global scale in a new TV ad campaign that takes her from New York to Rio, Prague, Japan and the Sahara.

The chart-topper samples the classic cola in a series of exotic locales where she dances and gyrates to a variety of cultural rhythms before ending up back in New York, hellomagazine.com reported.

"I had a great time," Aguilera said after the filming.

A more accurate spokesperson for Pepsi would be Rosie O'Donnell. We loved the normal Snapple lady from Long Island. Why can't Pepsi go the everyperson route and hire an average person who actually consumes their drink? Jared helped Subway boost sales, and a non-celebrity everyman/woman would do the same for Pepsi. Instead some brilliant marketer decided to use Christina Aguilera and make her look even more plastic.

Nicole Kidman: maybe not pregnant

No wonder these poor celebrities work their asses off at the gym and plastic surgeon's office. A little bloat and the Internets and celebrity glossies declare they're pregnant. Poor Nicole lost her imaginary baby bump in a miscarriage of gossip this week. She was photographed outside her gym with a perfectly flat tummy poking out of her top.

Nicole Kidman joined her new husband, country singer Keith Urban, on the opening night of his North American tour in Ontario, Canada. Kidman did not join her husband on stage, but he made a reference to her, dedicating his song "Making Memories of Us," to "my lovely bride." He also told concert-goers that he was "happy to join the married crowd".

Security at the concert was beefed up after a local radio station said they would pay $75,000 for a picture of the famous newlyweds kissing.

Here is Nicole Kidman with her skinny stomach. [via]

Perry the manny is back and so are we!

So my friend didn't figure out how to make posts properly, and neither did the guy who e-mailed all the bloggers saying he was available for help while we were on vacation.

Anyway I'm back from the south of France, which is beautiful and all, but take my advice and don't use Mapquest to get to your idyllic destination with your surly hosts near Johnny Depp's house. Stick to the highways because those windy lines on the map are really perilous mountain passes that aren't meant for anything but arrogant French drivers in tiny Renaults.

Also back is gorgeous helpful Perry, manny to the stars. He was spotted driving Britney to get some fast food. Sean Preston was not in the car, so it must be true that Perry has given up manny duty in favor of his original job as super-hot personal security and arm candy.

We thought Perry was out of the picture when it was reported that Kevin disliked him and said he shouldn't care for Sean Preston. K-Fed was also said to be enraged that Sean Preston was calling Perry "Da Da" and generally bonding with the father he never had. The baby-Bjorn wearing Naval Academy graduate was said to be on per-diem security duty, which spelled curtains for him in our book, but look - he's driving Britney to McDonalds!

Britney said in her upcoming Harper's Bazaar interview that she can't wait to get back in shape after the birth of her second child in September. She says she's "going to get really intense with it" so she can prepare to perform again. In that case we hope she had a McDonald's salad and skipped the fries and soft drink.

Thanks for hanging in there during my brief vacation away from the Internet that followed my one month stay in America, aka shopping heaven.

I would also like to thank Ritu at Celebguru for letting us "borrow" her content during our vacation. I picked Celebguru to pilfer from as I enjoy Ritu's commentary and think she does a great job of covering the celebrity news and gossip.

Welcome back, Perry, and welcome back Celebitchy.

Britney is Proud of Kevin

I know all you nasty guys out there might be getting eager to see Britney Spears’ naked pictures. The issue of Harpers Bazaar magazine having her naked pics and interview will hit the newsstands on July 25th.

In the interview, Britney said that she is proud of her husband Kevin Federline who has been working really hard since she was pregnant for the first time. Britney has a ten months old son Sean and is pregnant with another baby.

Britney says that she is very close to her son and he is simply a rocker kid. Brit further added that she was a bit paranoid when she was pregnant with her first baby as everything was new to her but she is enjoying things now. Britney is also planning to get back in shape soon as she is getting desperate to hit the stage and studio again. She plans to do a song with hubby Kevin too.

Jessica Simpson says Brad Pitt is hot

In an interview after her divorce, Jessica Simpson said that she has not dated anybody since she separated from her husband Nick Lachey. Jess has been linked to several guys since then, her ‘Employee of the Month’ co star Dane Cook is one of them. However, Jess says that they are just good friends and nothing else.

Just like thousands of other women across the globe, Jessica also dreams of Brad Pitt. Jess says that he is an ideal eye candy, she thinks Brad Pitt in Fight Club, one can’t get better than this. So is it a matter of concern for Angelina, I don’t think so as Angie is better than Jess in every context.

Lindsay Lohan Gives a BJ in Public

I know, just like me you would be in a shock too after seeing Lindsay Lohan in between her guy’s legs, doing…you know what. However, after looking at picture carefully, I realized that it’s a movie shoot.

But I still find it a bit awkward, it might not be a new thing for Lindsay but her mum would land up in a shock if this scene makes it to the screen. Better known as Teen queen, Lindsay seems to be ready to do anything and everything to make it big in the industry. A few months back, she said she would go topless for an Oscar.

Jennifer Aniston's Male Crew Took off Their Shirts for Her

‘Friends’ star Jennifer Aniston revealed it lately that she was feeling a bit uncomfortable while filming a naked scene in her movie ‘The Break Up’ with her current beau Vince Vaughn. Jen says that she is comfortable with her body and don’t have much problems with being naked but not in front of everybody. She had to walk around naked for an entire day while filming the sex scene.

Her crew really supported her in that. She told Elle magazine that every time she used to come back to her room after a shot, her wardrobe assistants and make-up guys used to take off their shirts.

Is Jen sure that was a supporting gesture? That seems like an inviting signal to me. You never know with guys, as sex takes the topmost place in their mind.

Was Suri damaged by too many powerful sonograms?

My two-year old son has very weak front teeth with some visible plaque and chipping. It's not decay and he rarely drinks juice or eats sugary food. My husband and I consulted dentists in Germany and the US and they both said that his teeth never calcified properly while he was in utero and that it was most likely the result of something that happened in the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy when the buds were forming, probably an illness I had.

When I was five months' pregnant I rushed over to a 3D ultrasound place to learn my baby's sex a couple of weeks before my OBGyn was able to schedule the regular sonogram. We got a little DVD set to music and phenomenal pictures in which you can really see his features. My husband says there's nothing to feel guilty about but I keep wondering if that powerful sonogram damaged my son's budding teeth, and I would never have one again. That's the only thing I can remember happening during that time of my pregnancy.

Thanks for reading my rambling story, but the moral is that ultrasounds can damage tiny fetuses in unpredictable ways, and there's almost no way to tell if a birth defect or small change in a baby is due to an ultrasound. Doctors say they're safe, but are cautious to recommend that they're used sparingly. I've been thinking about the mystery of Suri, and remembered how Tom bought an ultrasound machine and was talking about how much he loved checking out his unborn child. People really criticized him for it at the time:

An ultrasound machine works by sending vibrations into the body and then waiting for them to bounce back. The machine can use information from the echoes to produce a moving image of a fetus. But not all of the energy that goes into the body comes back out—some gets absorbed in the tissues. This can cause cells to heat up, or it can make trapped gas bubble up. Studies of ultrasound in lab animals have shown that heat and bubble formation (or "cavitation") can damage internal organs.

Few studies of ultrasound have been conducted on the human fetus (for ethical and logistical reasons), and there's no smoking gun to suggest that the machines are causing harm. We've known for a long time that ultrasound heats up human tissue—that's the rationale for its application in physical therapy. Several experiments conducted overseas have shown an increase in left-handedness (or at least a reduction in right-handedness) among those exposed to prenatal ultrasound, which suggests that the test could have neurological effects...

Is Tom Cruise putting his baby—or his fiancee—at risk? It depends on what kind of machine he's using, and whether he's got a trained sonographer to help him out. He may have a machine that doesn't have the more dangerous high-power settings.

The article goes on to say that cumulative sonograms aren't necessarily more damaging than individual sonograms.

There are studies showing ultrasounds are relatively safe, and that there is no connection between prenatal ultrasounds and birth defects. These studies are using old technology, though, and Tom undoubtedly had a 3D ultrasound for Katie's pregnancy:

In addition, [Kjell Salvesen of the University of Trondheim, Norway] notes that the ultrasound machines used in his study [published in The Lancet, showing ultrasounds are not damaging] are now becoming obsolete, with many hospitals relying on higher-energy devices that produce sharper images. "The technology is rapidly developing, and these safety studies will always come 10 years after the devices have been taken into general use," he says.

No one can say with certainty that the higher-energy ultrasonic devices cannot harm a fetus, says Vorhees. Heat isn't the only way in which ultrasound might theoretically damage tissues, he adds. Sound waves may cause microscopic bubbles in body fluids to oscillate and sometimes collapse, Vorhees says. Scientists don't know whether such problems can injure the fetus.

The scientific uncertainty over ultrasound led the Food and Drug Administration to advise against sonograms during pregnancy unless there is a problem such as bleeding, a family history of birth defects, or some other medical reason for the procedure, including advanced maternal age. FDA specifically warns against using ultrasound "frivolously" -- simply to watch the baby float in the womb or to learn the baby's sex.

Now that Suri hasn't emerged, and her "birth certificate" is highly suspect, one wonders just exactly what is going on. She may not exist, she may be under Scientology house arrest, or she may have a disorder or delay of unknown origin. You know that Cruise got one of those 3D machines because he's rich as anything and wouldn't just buy a regular old model. I really suspect that my son's teeth were damaged by one and wonder if little Suri suffered any ill effects from Tom's crazy curiosity.

Katie Holmes is quoted in the upcoming Us Weekly saying that "Suri's doing great!" but some quote from Katie or her publicist isn't reassuring at this point.

The Toronto Fashion Monitor says that little Suri could be being raised under strict Scientolgy "no noise" conditions, in which little children are shielded from noise coupled with bad experiences because it can create a bad memory they call an "engram."

Scientologists don't believe in comforting hurt little children, either. They think that if they stumble and hit their head on a rock, for instance, they should be made to lay their head back on the rock so that the bad energy and pain will flow back into it.

Even if "Suri" or a baby facsimile emerges at this point, I'm never going to believe that she's the product of Katie and Tom. Something highly suspect is going on, although I hope I'm not right that the baby does exist and is suffering from a defect or illness.

Dita Von Teese picture post

Dita Von Teese, the burlesque performer and wife of Marilyn Manson, redeemed herself partially in our eyes by admitting that her boobs are fake.

The burlesque star is proud of her cosmetically enhanced bosom and sees no shame in giving nature a helping hand.

She says, "Why deny it? I'll always be very open about it. I hate it when people in the public eye aren't honest about any surgery that they've had."

I was annoyed with Dita a little over a month ago when she was quoted putting down other strippers and acting like hers was the only act in town. Doc pointed out that I have no clue about burlesque, and he was partially right. There's a difference between stripping and teasing, and in Dita's case it's to the tune of millions of dollars that can't just be stuffed in her panties.

Now she's admitted to surgery and that's a step in the non-bullshit direction. She still has much farther to go.

She says her job is "liberating" since she charges tens of thousands of dollars for an appearance, and that she's a sex symbol to both men and women. She also poo-poos the charges that she's setting back feminism:

She said: "Some people say what I do isn't very liberating. I say it's pretty liberating to get $20,000 for 10 minutes work.

"And as many women as men come to my shows. When I started my website in 1993, it was geared towards men. Now it has more female visitors - not necessarily lesbians, just young women interested in my style."

Dita, 33, who is married to rock star Marilyn Manson, thinks women are interested in her because they want tips on how they can become sexier to please their partners.

She added to Britain's The Times newspaper: "Most women want to be sex symbols, even if they don't admit it. Imagine being considered not for your mind but for how you look. Sort of fun, don't you think?"

There's all sorts of things wrong with that comment, and it could be considered downright nasty, if not ignorant and rude. There's nothing wrong with being sexy, but that doesn't mean that should be the only way you're evaluated in life. If that's the case then you're screwed no matter how sexy you are. It's not fun to be considered a piece of meat or an ornament. She might not have actually said this, though. It's attributed to The Times, but the quote sounds fake and is reprinted in a source that's not reliable.

In case you're a big Dita fan and think I'm being harsh, consider how many pictures I'm posting of her from various photoshoots. In the ladybug one she looks like a tranny. [via]

Matthew McConaughey photoshoot

I have no idea how recent these are, but they were posted on Hollywood's Best on June 8th, so they could be recent. They look familiar but I'm not sure. Regardless it never hurt anyone to stare at Matthew McConaughey for a while.

McConaughey recently tried to hit up the paparrazi that were following him for cash. He forgot his wallet while out on a sweaty bike ride with Lance Armstrong and Jake Gyllenhaal and asked the photographers trailing them for $30 for some sandwiches. He ended up with $100, which was enough for lunch for everyone.

I'm off on my vacation, and will feature content from CelebGuru the rest of the week.

Johnny Depp Photoshoot

While looking for pictures of Johnny Depp, I found this hot recent photoshoot by Matt Sayles:

Actor Johnny Depp poses in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Thursday, June 22, 2006. With the second "Pirates of the Caribbean" picture in theaters July 7 and filming nearly finished on the third, Depp is preparing to say goodbye to his iconic pirate persona, Captain Jack Sparrow.

Depp won't say which of his characters he identifies with most. Although people have praised his role as Cap'n Jack Sparrow, he says all of his characters are close to his heart. He also says he doesn't take work just for the money:

"John Waters said he thinks Captain Jack is actually, of all the characters you've played, the character closest to you," Cagle asks, laughing. "Is there, first of all, why would he say something like that, is there any truth to it?"

"I'll never reveal the truth … I cannot and will not say. No, I think with all the characters, you know, they're still in there, you know. Ed Wood pops up every now and again," says Depp. "Captain Jack, certainly. Closest to me? You know, maybe. It's hard for me to say."

"After you left television and you were trying to do movies that you were passionate about, was it ever really hard to say 'no' to more money or 'no' to bigger movies and really follow your heart?" Cagle asks.

"Oh, yeah. definitely," Depp admits. "There were moments when, you know, sort of, whopper buckets of money were offered, where, you know, even in sort of your purest state you are tempted, you know? There is that temptation. But that's important to go through. I always figured that if there was gonna be money, you know, if I was able to stick it out, it would come later, you know? So I was patient. I couldn't do the work for the money. It couldn't be about that."

Depp is certainly popular enough to be picky about his roles, and his choices have served him well as an A-list actor. Although Depp won't admit which of his characters is his favorite, he did make the tattoo of a sparrow he sported as Captain Jack Sparrow permanent and added the caption "Jack." He says it is in honor of his youngest son, Jack Christopher Depp III, born on April 9, 2002.

Brandon Routh vs. Christian Bale: no contest

I finally got around to watching "Batman Begins" this weekend. (I have a good excuse for not seeing it sooner since I have a two year-old son.) Christian Bale is incredibly hot, and I loved the movie. It was gritty and quite entertaining. Plus it really was enjoyable to stare at Christian Bale for a couple of hours. It got me thinking about Brandon Routh and how everyone is saying the new Superman is effeminate. Of course I'm not the first one to make the comparison between the new movie superheroes. Christian Bale himself made a reference to Superman in his acceptance speech for "Best Hero" at the MTV Movie awards :

The cast of upcoming summer superhero flick Superman Returns was on stage to present an award for Best Hero. The award naturally went to Christian Bale for his performance as Batman in Batman Begins, and when Bale accepted the award from the hands of Brandon Routh he good-naturedly commented "Sorry Superman, but Batman is the bada**." He went on to promise the audience there will be more Batman flicks, and called his wife Sibi Blazic "my personal Wonder Woman."

Superman's civilian character is a lot dorkier than Batman's alter ego, which could explain the new Superman's gay/metrosexual vibe. Clark Kent is a "mild mannered reporter" who grew up in the Midwest (*cough* dork *cough*) while Bruce Wayne is a billionaire playboy who spent time in a Chinese prison camp.

Christian Bale, 32, has been married to celebrity assistant Sandra/Sibi, Blazic, 36, for six years. They met on the set of "Little Women" where Sandra was Winona Ryder's personal assistant. They have one child, a daughter born in March, 2005.

Brandon Routh, 26, has been plagued by rumors that he's gay since he's so well coiffed and everything, but has a longterm girlfriend, television actress Courtney Ford.

Routh and Bale are each hot in their own way, but my money would be on Batman in a fight. (Which I would pay dearly to see - if they both were naked.)

Note: I wrote this over the weekend and had it saved for a friend to publish for me while I am on vacation the second half of this week. I noticed that this is a hot topic at the JJB board, though, and thought I would publish it sooner. I did think of this myself, although it may not seem entirely original.

Here are pictures from "Batman Begins" and "Superman Returns" as well as some pictures of Routh and his girlfriend at the "Superman Returns" premiere, and Bale at "The New World" after party in January, 2006. [via] and [via]

Lindsay Lohan linked with another random older guy

Remember the skinny weird guy who played Hugh Grant's roommate in "Notting Hill?" His name is Rhys Ifans and Lindsay Lohan is supposedly dating him now. That Taco chain owner had got to be relieved:

The 'Mean Girls' actress is said to have fallen for the 37-year-old actor - best known for his role as Hugh Grant's eccentric flatmate Spike in 'Notting Hill' - after being introduced to him by her friend Kate Moss.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Falling for Rhys was really the icing on the cake for Lindsay. She already loves hanging out with Kate in London.

"One of the reasons Rhys appealed is that he's so quirky, bright and refreshing."

The flame-haired actress is apparently so infatuated with her new love, who is 17 years her senior, that she is planning to splash out on a London property so she can be closer to him.

Lohan, 20, is also keen on buying a pad in the UK capital because she can legally drink in Britain.

The source added: "Lindsay is branded a hellraiser in the US because the legal drinking age is 21.

"So it's an amazing relief to be in England where things are more liberal. She loves that it's different here."

When I was underage I used a lookalike's driver's license to drink because I was resourceful like that. I also wasn't dumb enough to tell guys I liked them or blab about it so they would hear. Lohan said last week "There is a boy I like. I'm sure people will start writing about him soon. He lives in London. It's so hard!"

Maybe she thought she was clever by not mentioning his name, but now a few guys who live in London are cringing at the thought of Lindsay moving into their city. They probably thought it was just a bit of fun, and now Lindsay's going to be coming around with hoards of paparrazi to ruin their relatively low-key lifestyle.

Here she is in yet another bikini at a Malibu beach house on July 8th. [via]

Paris Hilton says she's going to be celibate for a year

In a pledge that she'll probably forget next week, Paris Hilton confirmed to Britains Guardian that she plans on being celibate for an entire year:

We talk about shopping, entrepreneurialism and the future. Hilton had previously said she wanted to be a mother by now, but she recently announced that, after being in relationships for all her adult life, she is going to stay boyfriendless and celibate for a year. Why? "Just because I want to. I feel I'm becoming stronger as a person. Every time I have a boyfriend, I'm just so romantic, and I put all my energy into the guy, and I don't really pay attention to myself."

Now, she says, it's time to take care of business and indulge herself in a few consumables. What's the most extravagant thing she's ever bought? "Erm ... I just ordered the new Bentley convertible." How much is that? "I don't know - I didn't ask."

Paris says she makes her own money and deserves to be known for her, uh, fame, rather than her status as an heiress. She also brags about how gracious and sweet she is:

It annoys her, she says, when people suggest she's got where she has because of her family. But it certainly helped in the early days, didn't it? "Well ..." Her voice momentarily breaks up and goes all Rod Stewart on me. "There's a lot more to it than that because there are a million other heiresses I've heard of who don't do anything with their lives." So what makes her special? "There's nobody else like me. Also, I'm a good person. I treat everybody great. I travel around the world and I'm better to the fans than any single person." Better than anybody? "Yes." She smiles beatifically. She often talks of her goodness.

Hilton was brought up a Catholic, and still attends church. "I think a lot of people forget where they came from and treat people bad." The notion of her forgetting her roots sounds ludicrous, but I think I know what she means - she's not talking inherited wealth, but achievement. As she says, more than once, "I don't want to be known as the Hilton heiress, because I didn't do anything for that."

Paris dishes on Nicole in the article, saying that fame has changed her and that it "breaks her heart" while she's stayed the same, vapid person all along.

Author Naomi Wolf calls Paris a "palette cleanser" and compares her bland sexy-innocent image to white noise:

"The pigeon-toed I'm-a-little-girl thing combined with the deliberate strategic convergence of pornography as entree into superstardom. She's always smiling, she never says much of anything, she's totally uncontroversial, she's managed to create a construct that is completely explicitly sexually available and completely innocent and naive and girlish at the same time. She's very soothing. It's like white noise in an over-stimulated environment. Paris Hilton is like a palette cleanser. She's like, as semiotics would say, an empty signifier, so you can project absolutely anything on to her, which is the perfect situation for branding."

When told about Wolf's assessment of her, Paris says she doesn't know what it means, but that she thinks it's "nice."

While some people give Paris credit for her skyrocketing image, I believe her and think she's just been the same shop-a-holic party-girl all the time.

Of course I don't believe that she's going to be celibate for a year, because chances are she said that in a brief two-week lull and will forget all about it when the next hookup presents itself.

Paris is seen in a new photoshoot by Dave Hogan, and posing with her sister, Nicky, on July 8th in LA. She is also shown shopping for prison shorts on July 7th. [via]

Robbie Williams treated for sex exhaustion

British singer and cad Robbie Williams was said to have had sex with so many young ladies while on his latest tour that he needed to be treated for exhaustion. The Sun reports that he bedded four ladies in five days:

But all that lovemaking made him so weary he had to call for first aid on Thursday morning.

A doctor examined him and decided he needed an energy-boosting vitamin shot in his bum to make him fit enough for a gig that night.

He later told the crowd at Copenhagen’s Parken national stadium in Denmark: “I had to get a needle in my a*** this morning. It was because I didn’t want to let you down, brothers and sisters.”

A few weeks ago Robbie was complaining that he couldn’t find a girlfriend. Now he is back in the saddle big time.

Robbie pulled a pair of sisters in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Saturday — although only one of them stayed over.

On Sunday night he chatted up a blonde Swedish doctor who he spotted in the audience when he was on stage.

I’ve managed to get hold of the first picture of Marie Annerstedt who Robbie picked out after spotting she had scrawled Snog Me I’m a doctor across her ample chest.

Then, on Tuesday night, Robbie copped off with a redhead Dane in Copenhagen. The next evening, after the France v Portugal semi-final in the World Cup, Robbie picked up a cute blonde Danish girl. He is clearly enjoying his success with the fairer sex.

Robbie is out of shape from too much smoking if he can't perform with one woman a day. Jamie Foxx slept with four women all at once and still managed to make out with more on stage.

That woman who wrote "I'm a doctor - shag me" on her chest was probably put up to it by her friends and didn't expect to even get to talk to Robbie, not to mention fuck him. Everything I know about picking up rock stars I learned from "Almost Famous" and some documentary featuring those chicks who made plaster casts of the big rock stars' penises. It seems like you have to be mysterious and cool, or have some sort of angle to land a rock star for the night.

Robbie must be a straightforward guy who is just taking what he gets if he's going for the easy prey. Robbie said earlier that he had a hard time getting laid because women were naturally wary of him, so he's undoubtedly grateful for his good luck while on tour.

Here are pictures of Robbie at The Max Beesley Gala Dinner on June 4th and one outside his hotel in Amsterdam on June 20th. I'm not too up on British celebrities, and need to get ready for my trip, so you'll excuse me for not identifying everyone. I do think I spot Simon Le Bon. Pictures [via]

Nicole Kidman: the bump is back!

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban drove their Bentley to Target near Nashville to pick up some sort of cleaning device. Keith went casual in a t-shirt and cargo pants while Nicole looked fresh and lovely in a white sundress and sandals. People thought that the pregnancy rumors could be put to rest when a far-away picture of Nicole in a bikini on her honeymoon came out. Her stomach looked toned and muscular, but if you squint hard enough you can still see a bump. Now she seems even more pregnant in this flowy dress. The wind could just be blowing her dress out, but it looks like she's pregnant to me.

The Sun quotes a "source" as saying that Nicole has a bump, but their source is probably someone looking at the pictures just like us:

Rumours that newlywed Nicole Kidman is expecting her first biological child gathered strength after she was spotted with a little bump.

A source said that Kidman, who was out walking with her new hubby country singer Keith Urban near their home in Nashville when her bump was spotted, said that the couple did look as if they had some happy news to share with the world.

"It does look like they might have some good news to announce. Nicole looked stunning and definitely had a bump," The Sun quoted the onlooker, as saying.

Reader Millie says Nicole and Keith go to the gym a lot, but that doesn't mean that Nicole isn't pregnant. We'll keep saying it as we wait for Nicole to really show. She's supposedly had two miscarriages, so if she's really pregnant she'll wait to announce it until she's much further along.

Madonna to perform with Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson?

If someone told me Madonna was going to pull the tired hanging on the cross routine for her latest tour, I wouldn't have believed them. So while it may seem really stupid of Madonna to try to tie her fading star to two hot young singers at the MTV music awards again, it sounds like something she would do. She's persistent in her blind/blonde ambition, and she tends to beat dead horses and expect people to pay to watch, which they do.

She's said to now want to "pass her energy" onto Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson in an S&M number that probably borrows from her stupid "Confessions" tour. I bet it will have an equestrian theme, too:

Three years ago at the MTV Video Music Awards she made front page news around the world when she kissed BRITNEY SPEARS and CHRISTINA AGUILERA.

Now the Queen Of Pop is planning to do a bondage scene with the two rising stars at this year’s awards in New York next month.

A source told me: “Madonna’s people contacted Jessica’s representatives a few weeks ago and the talks are progressing well.

“With both Jessica and Lindsay’s stock rocketing Madonna thinks they would be perfect to perform with.

“She’s planning something even more sexy than a lesbian kiss. The whispers are all about a bondage- inspired show.

“Madonna will keep the details hushed up until the night.”

The source is The Sun, which makes it seem like fake news, but you never know with Madonna. It could be true now that Madonna is converting Lohan to Kabbalah.

Please, Madonna, retire already. You look more like a cartoon character than a pop star, and you were right at home on stage at the Grammys with Gorillaz. You should devote your life to converting people to your sham cult and quit performing. Maybe you'll hook gullible Jessica Simpson into Kabbalah too. She's surely in need of some spiritual guidance.

Here is Madonna with her daughter Lourdes outside of the NY Kabbalah center on 6/30. Lindsay Lohan is shown shopping at Tower Records on 7/7 and in Malibu on 7/6. [via]. There are also some low-res candids of Jessica Simpson arriving at LA airport with her bodyguard. [via]

Matthew McConaughey parties it up for 4th of July

Matthew McConaughey was photographed drunk, high, or a bit of both on the fourth of July weekend in Costa Rica. This sort of contradicts a British report that showed Matt with a fat stomach and said he held an Independence Day party at his Malibu mansion. Both might be true and Matt may have been in Costa Rica on the weekend and back in time to throw the party on Tuesday. He doesn't look fat, though:

Matthew McConaughey celebrated his independence from former girlfriend Penelope Cruz with a three-day bender in Costa Rica over the Fourth of July weekend...

A barefoot, shirtless, and sweaty Matthew got his groove on by drinking, dancing, writhing on the floor and even shushing one of his fellow vacationers.

We all know he loves to party and as long as he's not pulling down Christmas trees or assaulting anyone it seems quite harmless.

Matt's hangover must not have lasted long. He was biking in the Malibu hills with Lance Armstrong and Jake Gyllenhaal on Wednesday, July 5th.

Here is Matt on the weekend in question and riding his bike a few days later with Lance and Jake. [via]

Johnny Depp's French paradise

Fan favorite Johnny Depp leads a quiet, low-key life in the south of France with his girlfriend of eight years, French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis, and their two children. Star Magazine reports that the gorgeous star of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a devoted dad who walks his kids, Lilly Rose, 7 and Jack, 4, to school and back again every day:

The former Hollywood bay-boy walks his kids to school before spending a few hours working via e-mail. When he's done, he picks his little ones up and spends the afternoon just hanging out with his family. It's a quiet, low-key life - and, sources tell Star, that's just the way Johnny... likes things these days. In fact, despite having no plans to marry Vanessa, sources say the Kentucky-born actor and his girlfriend... are incredibly happy...

A source close to Johnny says the pair are so madly in love, they worry that marriage might jinx their happy life. "Vanessa tells Johnny she doesn't need to be married," says the source. "But Johnny has always told Vanessa that the minute she feels like she needs to married, then he'd do it," says the insider.

(From Star Magazine print edition, Jluy 17, 2006.)

The article goes on to say that Johnny got paid $35 million plus a percentage of the box office for the two "Pirates" sequels, while Vanessa, his girlfriend of 8 years, has focused on her role as a mother and has only been in two films since she met Johnny in 1998.

In an interview in Britain's The Independent, Depp credits his family with turning his life around, and says he had a "rebirth" after his first child arrived:

He talks about a "rebirth", which he says stems from his relationship with the French musician and singer Vanessa Paradis, and their two children, Lily Rose, seven, and Jack, four.

"It took meeting the right girl," he says. "When Vanessa found out she was pregnant with our first child - you start thinking about the future and everything. Then, boom, there's your baby." He swirls his arms around then taps his fist on the table. "The same moment that your child is born, you're born again, you're brand-new. Vanessa and the kids have revealed me to me," says Depp thoughtfully, stroking his goatee, tipping his battered grey fedora over one eye, then taking a swig of coffee from a flask. "It's been liberating having a family, miraculous," says the actor, who is 43. "Everything changed once I held my daughter in my arms. Until that moment, I had been possessed with me; suddenly, there was someone who depended on me. It was like some veil had been lifted, or a layer of fog had been removed and I suddenly had clarity."

Interestingly enough, Depp said in 1993 "Ideally, I'd have land somewhere, maybe in France, with a wife and kids."

It looks like his dreams have come true. Johnny says he would like more children with his French girlfriend and says he doesn't need to get married to prove his devotion to her.

He sounds like a wonderful father and partner and a changed man. He's also a talented actor who deserves his massive success.

Depp was presented with the "Freedom of Paris" award last Thursday before the French premiere of "Pirates 2." He was honored for "devotion to Paris," even though he lives in the French countryside.

Here is Depp receiving the "Freedom of Paris" award with Vanessa by his side. [via] Depp is still wearing the gold caps from his Captain Jack role, and will continue filming the next "Pirates" sequel next month.

Paris Hilton crotch shot (NSFW)

Paris Hilton says that her dumb public personae is all a put-on, and that she invented herself for the cameras:

"The Simple Life is a reality show," she said, "and people might assume it's real. But it's fake. All reality shows are fake basically. When you have a camera on you, you are not going to act yourself.

"So before I started the show I thought I'd make a character like the movies Legally Blonde and Clueless mixed together... The public think they know me but they really don't."

Paris doesn't have the brains to be Elle Woods or Cher Horowitz, and she's flattering herself if she thinks people perceive her as fashionably ditzy but smart and well organized.

Paris also says she's uh, naturally shy, but that she has to live it up when she's out at an event because she's getting paid to be there.

Here is some evidence that Paris is either really forgetful, not shy at all, or a bit of both. She went commando in a red polka-dot dress recently. NSFW

Thanks to James at BlogNYC for finding the pics.

Have a great weekend everyone! Sorry posting was light today. I got a lot of spam from crazed Marissa Cooper fans. Blame them.

Update: Upon further close inspection, it looks like Paris was wearing underwear, but that they were the tiny string bikini type and were pushed to the side.

High Res photos of Lindsay Lohan clutching her breasts in GQ

As if Lindsay needs more publicity, she now graces the cover of the August issue of GQ and appears in a porny spread inside. I read the part of the article about her that's viewable in these images, and it seems like more of the same crap about Lindsay and her life in the tabloids. The author probably comes to the conclusion that she's a smart businesswoman who's destined to go places.

The thing that gets me is that the quotes and this spread look like Playboy. You know how Playboy and Penthouse always make up crap for the models to say, like how they think their best friend is hot or how they arranged a threesome with their boyfriend? It's like these quotes are made up by GQ to make the over-the-top pictures seem even more slutty. Maybe that's how GQ always does it, though.

This week Lindsay is bedding a guy who runs a suggestively-named chain of taco joints, and is changing her bikini three times a day. As she says in the GQ article "really - who cares?"

In one of the quotes she insists her breasts are real: "I like my body and my breasts. And no, they're not fake." She could skirt the question or admit to surgery she's obviously had, but instead she wants to volunteer lies. We don't care, Lindsay, you're already damaged goods so a little boob job isn't going to harm your image.

Nicole Kidman's wedding memorabilia on eBay

No one placed a bid on the package of memorabilia from the Nicole Kidman-Keith Urban wedding last weekend. The Australian seller wanted over $3,700 USD for the items, which look fancy but not too exciting:

A once only special offer of mementos from the Nicole Kidman-Keith Urban wedding on Sunday 25th June, 2006.

On offer are:
1. Engraved Tiffany travelling clock
2. Book of Ceremonies
3. Menu
4. Boxed slice of wedding cake

With no more than 100 of these presented to guests at the wedding, this is a very special and rare offering, sure to increase in value over the years.

The auction ended July 3rd with 0 bids, but that may just be due to the fact that it hasn't been publicized yet. Someone is surely stupid or crazed enough to pay almost 4k for that stuff.

The seller has a positive feedback rating of 14, and has only bought, not sold, items in the past. In the past 30 days they've bid on L'oreal lipgloss and bought a Thomas the Tank engine print, so they're likely a mom that could use the cash. I would guess it's someone who worked at the reception.

If you'd like a piece of the Kidman-Urban wedding you still have a chance. The wedding booklet is up for auction by another less-reputable seller at a more reasonable starting bid of $260 USD. The auction ends in about a week.

Here are the pictures of the stuff from eBay as well as some candids of Nicole and Keith celebrating the 4th of July. [via]

Shannon Doherty to co-host "The View": What could go wrong?

Shannon Doherty will appear as a guest co-host on the asanine roundtable women's talk show, "The View." The otherwise forgettable show made headlines with the high-profile exit of cohost and former fatty Star Jones last week. Jones royally pissed off Barbara Walters by blabbing that she was leaving two days before the announcement was planned. She also told People Magazine that she felt like she was fired, since her contract wasn't renewed. Now that Doherty is going to step in temporarily, we can all commence forgetting about Star:

Former BEVERLY HILLS, 90210 star SHANNEN DOHERTY will fill-in as a co-host on US talk show THE VIEW later this month (JUL06). The actress joins a growing list of guest co-hosts sitting in after the abrupt departure of STAR JONES REYNOLDS last week (27JUN06), after her contract was not renewed. Doherty's new reality show BREAKING UP WITH SHANNEN DOHERTY, premieres on the US Oxygen network next month (AUG06). She will join forces with people in relationship peril who want to get out of bad relationships, but can't seem to do it on their own. Doherty will guest co-host The View on 31 July and 1 August (06). Also scheduled to sit in as co-hosts are AMERICAN IDOL runner-up KATHARINE MCPHEE, DANCING WITH THE STARS winner KELLY MONACO and judge CARRIE ANN INABA. A permanent replacement for Jones Reynolds is expected to be named in the autumn (06).

Doherty seems like a good choice to fill in for Star on a trial basis, since she's also generally considered a bitch with no career prospects. I think the last thing I saw her in was "Scare Tactics" on the SciFi channel. (I really enjoyed that show actually. It was one of the more inventive and entertaining reality shows.) She is also starting a new reality show on the Oxygen network in which she gives advice to people who are breaking up with their romantic partners.

Singer Brandy is slated to guest host on The View tomorrow and People wonders if she could replace Star. For now all the guest hosts are auditioning and it seems like it will be a while before a replacement is announced.

Meanwhile Star Jones has a new job. She has a mere one-week hosting job on the rather boring "Househunters" on HGTV. I've seen that show about four times and it always turns out the same. I'd like to see a couple not find the perfect bungalow for once and just decide to stay in their current house.

Here is Shannon Doherty at various events looking smug as usual. [via] She is shown with her former "Charmed" co-star, Holly Marie Combs.

NO ONE has seen Suri Cruise

This baby just does not exist or something is wrong with it. People claim that Cruise is holding Suri back because of his wacko cult religion, Scientology, or because he didn't get enough cash for the photos, but there hasn't even been a bundle photographed. Now his celebrity friends claim to have never seen the mystery spawn, either:

BABY Suri Cruise isn't just playing hide-and-seek with the public. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have yet to show off their spawn to fellow Scientologists John Travolta, Kelly Preston and Lisa Marie Presley. Even good pals Will and Jada Pinkett Smith supposedly have not met the newborn despite repeated calls to Cruise, reports Us Weekly. "Every time, it's a different excuse: He's busy or Kate's not feeling well," said a source. "[The Smiths] think it's so weird."

Even if they wanted to shield the baby from the negative influence of the media or whatever, we still would have seen Katie or a nanny/Scientology handler out walking with a stroller or holding a covered bundle.

Katie even went to her parent's house in Ohio at the end of May, and there were no photographs of the supposed baby.

All we have to vouch for Suri's existence is a report from an "eyewitness" who saw a bundle from very far away.

Readers of Celebrity Baby Blog came up with several plausible theories to explain the Suri mystery:

that the pregnancy was faked and Suri was adopted

that Katie was pregnant before she and Tom hooked up, and that she gave birth earlier and the latter part of the pregnancy was faked

that though she conceived while with Tom, he is not the genetic father and Suri looks nothing like him

that Suri has some kind of unattractive physical attribute that Tom and/or Katie do not want made public

that Tom has paid off the paparazzi not to take her photo

that Suri has not yet been outside of Tom's estate (the most likely reason in my opinion), with some people thinking that Child Protective Services should be called (!!!)

WTF is going on? They better procure a baby that sort of looks like them fast, because this is turning into one of the biggest Hollywood scandals ever.

Avril Lavigne to get married this weekend?

Avril Lavigne must have had a tame bachelorette party because her fiance, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, attended too. They celebrated on June 30th in LA:

AVRIL LAVIGNE celebrated her last days of being single by inviting her fiance, SUM 41 singer DERYCK WHIBLEY, to join her for her bachelorette bash on 30 June (06). The 21-year-old COMPLICATED singer received two sets of black 2Belles panties embroidered with 'The Mrs' in hot pink, plus a posh bra, panty and camisole set from lingerie company Cherish. According to an eyewitness, "She was excited, but a little embarrassed." After opening her presents, Lavigne donned a veil with devil horns and the couple and 20 pals dined at hip Los Angeles restaurant Koi. The group then moved on to celebrity nightclub Lobby where they partied alongside JESSICA ALBA and NICKY HILTON. The couple have yet to announce their official wedding date.

Speculation is rampant that Lavigne and Whibley will marry this weekend, with reports that they have already notified friends and family:

Etalk reports that a California ceremony is imminent for the punk princess and the Sum 41 front man.

Friends and family of the pair were reportedly notified days ago of the plan and told to book their tickets immediately for Santa Barbara, where the Canadian rockers have a house together.

Earlier reports had suggested the wedding would take place Aug. 26, but media scrutiny apparently spurred the couple to move up the date.

This could definitely be true, because Lavigne was said to want a summer wedding, and to be planning for children right away.

It is uncertain whether Lavigne is already pregnant. We spotted a bump on the slender singer in several recent pictures, but in these photos from the end of June it doesn't seem to have grown enough to substantiate pregnancy rumors.

Here is Avril at her bachelorette party outside of Koi and at Hyde nightclub on 6/25. Pictures from Hollywood's Best and originally from Alavigne.com.br.

Survivor winner shoots a puppy, and is producing reality hunting show

2002 "Survivor: Thailand" winner Brian Heidik, 38, shot a defenseless puppy with a bow and arrow after coming home drunk at 3:30 in the morning. When his estranged wife asked him about it, he said he was "tired of stupid dogs on my back porch." Luckily for the puppy, Heidik is a bad shot:

At about 3AM, his wife called to report that he was outside and that he had shot a puppy that was on his property with an arrow and planned to shoot another one," Douglas County Chief Deputy Stan Copeland told The Associated Press.

The puppy, a 3-4 month old tan-and-black shepherd-hound mix, was reportedly shot below the rib cage but not seriously injured. Local animal control officers are scheduled to return both puppies to Jeff McCloud, a neighbor, on Thursday morning.

When sheriff's deputies arrived at the scene, Heidik, a 38-year-old former porn actor who was living in the Los Angeles area when he appeared on Survivor, allegedly attempted to flee in his car but was quickly caught and transported back to the Douglasville, GA home that he and his family had moved to in November 2004.

After Heidik was apprehended, Charmaine Heidik, a 34-year-old former porn actress and Playboy bunny who was charged with spousal abuse for punching Heidik back in November 2002, told the deputies that in addition to shooting the puppy, he had also hit her approximately ten days earlier on June 23. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Charmaine Heidik told police that Heidik "had grabbed her by the face and pushed her down, bruising her forehead and elbow." Unspecified "evidence in the home" also reportedly supported the charge. The couple's son was also present in the home at the time of Heidik's arrest.

According to Charmaine Heidik, the puppy shooting followed a night in which Heidik had been out drinking with "buddies." After going to bed earlier in the night, she awoke to the sounds of a yelping dog at 3:30AM. Upon wandering out to the house's back porch, she saw Heidik holding the bow and arrow. "He just shoots the dog right in front of me," Charmaine Heidik told the Journal-Constitution. "I am tired of stupid dogs on my back porch," Heidik then allegedly remarked to her.

Heidik's defense was that he mistook the 3 month-old dog for a coyote that had killed two of his five year-old son's pet ducks.

Heidik appeared in several soft-core porn films before his "Survivor" win and says he is now producing a reality hunting show. He can't shoot or recognize prey, so it will either be a very bad or very entertaining series.

Heidik's wife says that he's never really adjusted to life post-Survivor and that he thinks he's "invincible."

The couple has several domestic battery incidents, with both Heidik and his wife alledging they were hit by the other. They are legally separated but have not yet filed for divorce.

Ashley Judd reveals her lousy treatment for depression

In this month's issue of Glamour, Ashley Judd did her duty as a B-list celebrity and revealed potentially embarassing details about her personal life. She said that she underwent in-patient treatment for depression after succumbing to pressure from employees at the facility that was treating her sister, country star Winona Judd, for a food addiction:

Ashley Judd says she spent 47 days in a Texas treatment facility for depression and other emotional problems, in an interview in Glamour magazine.

"I needed help," the 38-year-old actress tells the magazine in its August issue. "I was in so much pain."

Judd, the daughter of country music star Naomi Judd, says she entered the Shades of Hope Treatment Center in Buffalo Gap in February for "codependence in my relationships; depression, blaming, raging, numbing, denying and minimizing my feelings."

"But because my addictions were behavioral, not chemical, I wouldn't have known to seek treatment. At Shades of Hope, my behaviors were treated like addictions. And those behaviors were killing me spiritually, the same as someone who is sitting on a corner with a bottle in a brown paper bag."

Judd says she was visiting her sister, singer Wynonna Judd, who was being treated for food addictions.

"When (the counselors) approached me about treatment, they said, `No one ever does an intervention on people like you. You look too good; you're too smart and together. But you (and Wynonna) come from the same family so you come from the same wound.' No one had ever validated my pain before. It was so profound," she says.

We all have issues that could benefit from therapy, and I enjoyed nice outpatient visits with a kind woman who usually took my side when I told stories about my lousy ex-boyfriend. It sounds like Judd was brainwashed, though. Listen to how she explains "therapy:"
"My behaviors were treated like addictions. And those behaviors were killing me spiritually, the same as someone who is sitting on a corner with a bottle in a brown paper bag."

This sounds like a bullshit, oversimplified way to view one's issues. There are lots of different schools of thought and accompanying therapies that can be effective, but treating everything like an addiction is not something I learned about in grad school. It's based on the Alcoholics Anonymous model of dependency, which may be a semi-effective, albeit controversial, way to treat addictions, but is not a really constructive way to work through one's emotional issues.

If it worked for Judd that's great, but treating one's emotional problems under the umbrella of addiction can be woefully inadequate and ineffective.

I attended a few years of graduate school for psychology before ending up in IT just before the Internet boom, so I sort of know what I'm talking about. My preferred form of therapy is cognitive behavioral, which helps change your outlook by systematically changing your behaviors. The most famous cognitive therapist is Albert Ellis, and the most practical book I've read on the subject is "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by David Burns, which I would highly recommend if you're a bit depressed or having trouble getting out of a slump. (If you're depressed, get help from a therapist and/or go on medication. There's no shame in it.)

It sounds like Ashley Judd got convinced by the staff at her sister's facility that it would be great if she checked in. They probably realized how good it would be for their PR if they were able to "treat" two of the sort-of-famous Judd sisters.

Here is Ashley Judd at a Cartier party in early June with Selma Hayek, and at the Indianapolis 500 celebration in late May with her husband, Scottish racecar driver Dario Franchitti. Judd, 38, has been married to Franchitti, 33, since 1999. The couple divides their time between Tennessee and Scotland.

Mischa Barton has a foul mouth

Mischa Barton's limo was too big to maneuver around some tight curves in London, so the the driver had the former "O.C." star get out and walk a little bit to get to the UK premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3." She was accompanied by British talk show hosts Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins of Channel 4's "Friday Night Project."

Collins said he loved Barton's foul mouth and had a great time with the 20 year-old actress:

The TV star spent all of Monday (03.07.06) with the former 'O.C.' star filming segments for his Channel 4 show 'The Friday Night Project' - and even escorted the stunning actress to the London premiere of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest'.

Collins has now revealed she has a filthy mouth.
He told BANG Showbiz: "She has a wicked sense of humour. She's really cheeky.
"I was quite shocked to be honest because she looks all sweet and lovely but she would come out with certain things and I would just be stunned. "She's one hell of a girl. She's wicked and I love her."

Britain's Mirror also reports that Barton said she didn't "give a s*** where Paris is" when someone told her that she just missed Paris Hilton's visit to the UK. That's not surprising since the two have fought in the press before.

Here is Barton getting in her limo and at the "Pirates" premiere. Her dress is too short and the jeweled top and cap sleeves are just odd. Barton is seen with talk show host Justin Lee Collins and has not moved on from Cisco Adler to another shockingly unsuitable suitor.

National Enquirer's 50 Best and Worst Beach Bodies

I really enjoy reading these gossip rags now that I'm in the states for my vacation.

Here's one of my guilty pleasures, The National Enquirer. Reader Millie says it's one of the trashier rags, but maybe that's why I like it so much! I also totally believe a lot of what they write, and my guillibitiy is undoubtedly a big factor in my willingness to reprint most of the crap I read about celebrities.

Here's a recap of the pictures, below. They're spot on with most of them, except for Mimi. They use an old fat picture of Mariah Carey and say she's got one of the best beach bodies. Maybe she's better looking now, but they didn't even bother to photoshop it to make her look thinner. Also, Pierce Brosnan's wife might be heavy, but she's an attractive woman otherwise and it seems kind of cruel to use a picture from the back. Kudos to Brosnan for defending his wife and not trading her in for a younger model.

Best Beach Bodies, Women:
Beyonce Knowles, 24
Elizabeth Hurley. 41
Jessica Alba, 25
Mariah Carey, 36
Jennifer Aniston, 37
Lisa Rinna, 43

Worst Women:

Princess Caroline, 49
Kristen Johnston (from "Third Rock"), 38
Aida Turturro (from "The Sopranos"), 43

Chelsea Clinton, 26
Queen Latifah, 36
Star Jones, 44
Goldie Hawn, 60

Best Beach Bodies, Men:
LL Cool J, 38
Brad Pitt, 42

I'll be leaving the US next Tuesday and will be away from the computer for nearly a week I'm sorry to say. I'll make an official announcement and will do my best to fill in the gaps while I'm gone but things may be quiet around here if I don't find a guest writer. (If you'd like to write for the blog - please e-mail me at info [at] celebitchy.com. You don't need a lot of technical knowledge. It would help if you're familiar with Movable Type, although it's easy and I can teach you.) I'm going to the French countryside, but since I already live in Europe I can't get all pretentious about it.

Here are the pictures. I just photographed the magazine and realize they're not the best quality.

Matthew McConaughey's fat!

Matthew McConaughey has been letting himself go since his split with Penelope Cruz. He was photographed with a bit of a beer belly at a party he threw on the 4th of July:

MOVIE hunk MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY has got a bit chunky – it looks like he has been getting over his split from PENELOPE CRUZ by sinking a few lagers.

The normally ripped star showed off his expanding beer belly during an Independence Day party with his pals.

He held the bash at his Malibu mansion.

NATALIE PORTMAN and JAKE GYLLENHAAL – who are rumoured to be more than just friends – were among the guests to see Matt’s new look. But I have to say he carries the Homer Simpson look well . . .

Yeah, Matt still looks hot with a few extra pounds. He looks like he needs to suck his stomach in. He can whip himself back into stinky shape if he needs to. A few laps around the trailer park should do it.

Update: Matt doesn't look quite as fat when he's taking a jog on the beach. (inset picture via People Magazine)

Here's his ex, Penelope Cruz, out with a friend in Beverly Hills on 6/28. You don't see a lot of paparrazi pictures of her and she doesn't look like she minds being photographed. [via]

Lindsay Lohan says her boobs are real and she never tried cocaine

Lindsay's full of shit lately. Her boobs look like two basketballs stuffed under her skin, but she has attributed their strange shape and quick growth to natural causes. This latest quote is undoubtedly made up, because there's no source listed and it's worded like a typical Brit would phrase it, but it's not beneath us to repeat it or attribute it to her. She said something like this before, but it's impossible to google since all the keywords are kind of dirty:

Stunning Lindsay, who only turned 20 on Sunday, said: "Skinny's not attractive. I've learnt that."

Peering inside her vest she added: "I like having my breasts in there - naturally, I add! The papers said I had implants, then when I was really flat-chested they said I was anorexic and had had them taken out.

"Truth is I have got my boobs back because I've got healthier again and I'm so happy."

[via]

It's probably not true that she actually said that this time around unless someone changed the quote to sound British, but in an interview with The Mirror she did deny every trying cocaine, and credited her druggie dad for her abstinence:

"I've never tried cocaine," Lindsay says. "I've seen my father. I've seen how it messes with families and f***s your life up. If I hadn't witnessed that, I may have gone a different route. I don't know. But I've seen how it tore my parents apart."

Lohan also admits that she was too thin and wasn't eating right, and said she turned her health around by exercising. She says she parties a lot but that "it's nothing too decadent and probably not half as wild as what goes on at university fraternity parties." It's good that she's no longer in denial about her body at least.

Here she is in various beach shots this week.

Thanks to Hollywoods Best, Egotastic, and Mollygood for the photos. x17online also points out her freckled butt.

Pirates of the Caribbean wax figures

The Pirates of the Caribbean exhibit was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London today. The wax artists are quite skilled at male characters as Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp's waxworks look eerily close to the real thing. Keira Knightley's wax figure looks like a female impersonator, though. Maybe that's why they tried to hide her underneath some falling hair.

People are speculating that Keira Knightley's live-in relationship with fellow actor Rupert Friend won't last long. He complained about his girlfriend having to kiss her hot costars in "Pirates" and said that she's hardly ever home. Keira admitted to working too hard, and says that she needs to take time off, but not because of Rupert:

Keira, whose previous relationship with Calvin Klein model Jamie Dornan ended because he couldn't handle her fame, confessed: "I know I've been like a workaholic and I really don't have time for much. I want to spend more time with my friends and family."

She added that she "definitely" had no plans to get married just yet. And when asked if she was going to take more time off to spend with Rupert, she replied: "I'm going to take time off because of myself mainly, not because of him. Let's see how things go there. I'm working on two new movies, that's what I'm concerned about now."

Not that Pride And Prejudice actor Rupert would call what she does "work". When we asked about Keira's performance in Pirates, he grunted: "It must have been a hard job kissing Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. I'm sure she hated every minute of it!" Then he moaned to us: "She hardly ever comes home to me."

It doesn't sound like Keira and Rupert are doing too well if they speak so poorly of each other to the press.

Here are the wax figures of Keira, Johnny and Orlando.

Britney and Kevin are not doing another Chaotic

There were reports that Britney was planning a "Chaotic 2" to further pound her stardom into the ground, but that was yet another piece of fake news embellished by the British tabloids. They always put some bit of UK slang in there to give it away.

"I know that things are fine, but this show will put paid to those rumors finally."

Perez Hilton called Britney's rep, who denied that Britney was dumb enough to make another "Chaotic". Plus Kevin would have to be around long enough to make the film.

Just like the rumor that Britney was going to give birth in Namibia, this originated with the satirical site "Postcards from the Pug Bus" and was picked up as real news, with fake quotes added for good measure, by the tabloids.

Here is K-Fed shopping for junk food on July 3rd. He looks awful. It was so much nicer to check out pictures of cutie Perry Taylor. [via] Oh - the gossip rags are reporting that Sean Preston was calling manny Perry "Da Da" and that's part of the reason why K-Fed had him canned.

Keira Knightley denies being anorexic

People should dress to fit their body type and not try to deny that they're super-thin or carrying a few extra pounds. We call it a muffin top when chubby chicks try to wear tight jeans and short tops, and we need a suitable nickname for thin women showing off their concave chests. I was going to write something about Keira's "dead woman's chest," but figured that would be too cliche. Something about pancakes would be suitable, but it's not about flat chests as much as sunken sternums.

knightley wore a gold Gucci dress with a non-existent neckline to the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in London that highlighted her skeletal frame. She was absolutely shocked that people think she might be anorexic and said that oh, anorexia runs in her family but of course she doesn't have that problem:

"I've got a lot of experience with anorexia — my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it," Knightley said. "I know it's not something to be taken lightly and I don't."

She said she was surprised by any suggestion that she had an eating disorder.

"(The press) said to me yesterday `How does it feel to be called anorexic?' and I had no idea that I was," Knightley said. "I'm not saying there aren't people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are. But I'm quite sure I don't have it."

She handled the question well by saying that she's glad she helped stir up interest in the issue and that it's good that people are talking about it.

She's obviously in denial that she's so thin, and shouldn't be showing off her tiny body. Kate Bosworth must realize how she looks because she wore a tight but flattering dress to the "Superman Returns" premiere and didn't look like the stick that she is.

Knightley has tried to play off her thinness by saying that she doesn't diet or exercise and that she admires curves on women. She said in an interview with Elle magazine that she eats "bowls" of pasta and drinks plenty of wine:

"I'm trying to go 'Fuck it' and have bowls of pasta or whatever makes me happy. I haven't been to the gym since January and I'm drinking about half a bottle of wine a night. Fuck it, you've got one life - live it."

Knightley went on to admire the curves of other actresses like Scarlett Johansson whose body is about a million miles away from Knightley’s slender frame and who she was photographed with nude for the front cover of Vanity Fair.

She added: "That kind of decadent flesh is absolutely beautiful. How sexy is that on a woman?"

"We had such a laugh. Scarlett's a sweetheart. I'm not completely comfortable with my body but I just thought, 'Fuck it'."

It is was true that Knightley is eating "bowls" of pasta it would show on her frame. It's also very telling that she says she's not comfortable with herself, and calls Johansson's hot body "decadent flesh." Johansson is fit with curves and is not chubby at all. If Knightley thought Johansson looked good she would call her hot or curvy but instead she uses a description that is more suited to a side of beef. She obviously has problems with normal-looking women and isn't going to gain weight until she faces reality.

Here are some candids of Knightley in London on 7/2, at a "Pirates of the Caribbean" photocall with Orlando Bloom and at the UK premiere on 7/3. [via]

Hilary Swank says her ex, Chad Lowe, is an addict!

It looks like Vanity Fair's strategy of denying stars the cover unless they dish lots of dirt has worked, because Hilary Swank blabs in an upcoming interview with the magazine that her ex, Chad Lowe, is an addict! She says he's been sober for three years, but that his battle with substance abuse caused a serious rift in the relationship that they couldn't repair.

The beautiful tomboy tells Vanity Fair she was shocked to learn about Lowe's addiction problem.

"I knew something was happening but I didn't know what" Swank tells Vanity Fair in the August editions set to hit newsstands today.

"When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he'd keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid.

"He's sober now. I don't want to make it seem like that's the sole reason; there were other factors. But that just kind of blew it open. It made me look at things a lot deeper. That's when you realize it's not going to work."

Lowe, 38, and his managers could not be immediately reached for comment yesterday.

Although Lowe's struggle touched off their marriage's downhill slide, Swank said she's proud of her soon-to-be ex's three years of sobriety.

Vanity Fair does not detail the actor's substance of choice.

"It's an enormous obstacle to overcome, and he's doing it. He's living a sober life," said Swank, who married Lowe in 1997. "I know how difficult it is, and I'm really proud of his sobriety."

The actress says she had to stay with Lowe when his substance abuse came to light.

"When I found out, I wanted to be there," she explains. "I knew it was the most important time of his life. That's when he needed me most."

It sounds like once Chad beat whatever drugs he was on things were never the same between them and it was impossible to overcome.

This happened to a friend of mine who was with her husband for over ten years. He got addicted to Oxycontin for back pain and completely changed. He became uncommunicative and withdrawn. They had a big blowout and ended up getting divorced. He has a new girlfriend and is still addicted to painkillers.

For an actress with two Oscars Hilary Swank doesn't get a lot of attention in the press. This revelation will make people interested in her for a week or two. She's sporty, down to earth, and normal and people don't think that's particularly exciting. She should follow this up by going shopping on Rodeo Drive and having dinner at The Ivy with a hot new guy.

In the upcoming interview, Hilary addresses the problems between her high=profile Hollywood career and her soon-to-be ex-husband's lack of prospects, saying, "I think that any frustration for him stemmed from the lack of opportunities in his own career."

Swank, 32, says she's wary of the dating scene, "I thought of it - of that whole world - I can't imagine it! I can't imagine going out right now and trying to find someone else to be with."

Relationship guru John Gray recommends that men and women do the opposite of their natural instincts when trying to recover from a breakup. Women should start dating right away while men should take time to nurse their wounds instead of jumping into another relationship. Maybe Hilary should take a page from Charlie Sheen and start looking online.

Here is Hilary in new ads from Clavin Klein and at a party for the perfume giant Guerlain, which she also represents, on 6/14. [via]

Uma Thurman on the beach with her boyfriend

Uma Thurman vacationed in St. Tropez with her boyfriend, hotelier André Balazs.

Passions are running high in Saint Tropez where Uma Thurman is showing all the signs that her two-year on-off relationship with Andre Balazs is back on. The pair have been holidaying in the celebrity hangout, and the chemistry between them was on show for all to see.

Andre Balazs wraps a protective arm around his love of two years, Uma Thurman, on a break in Saint Tropez. The couple split in March but now look to be rekindling their relationship.

Uma's big boobs are probably real, because they're drooping convincingly.

Thurman has asked Hollywood not to write her off because she's getting older, and says that actors get better with age.

David Beckham quits as England's World Cup Captain

David Beckham announced his resignation as England's captain after England lost their chances at the cup by losing to Portugal in penalty kick overtime 3-1 on Saturday.

"Our performance during this World Cup has not been enough to progress further, and both myself and all the players regret that, and I hurt... I hurt by that more than people realize"

Here is Beckham crying after his World Cup dreams were shattered:

And here he is announcing his resignation as World Cup captain:

Beckham is said to have made the decision after a heart-to-heart phone call with his wife, Victoria, who has supported him on the sidelines by losing even more weight and wearing skimpy outfits:

DAVID Beckham decided to step down as England captain yesterday after an emotional heart-to-heart phone call from wife Victoria.

Posh, 32, and seven-year-old son Brooklyn both wept after seeing Becks limp off the pitch at Gelsenkirchen in tears.

She tried to console him in mobile phone calls as she was ferried from the stadium to the wives and girlfriends’ hotel in Baden-Baden.

Becks finally sat down in his hotel room to compose his resignation statement in the early hours of yesterday after he and Victoria agreed that he should resign.

An England insider said last night: “A lot of raw emotion poured out during their talks on the phone. It’s a decision Becks could never have made without Victoria — they made it together.

“He wanted to bow out as a World Cup winner but it just didn’t turn out that way and they agreed it was time to take a new direction together.

“It was a mature decision which will take the pressure off the whole family.” Beckham, 31, fought back tears and his voice cracked with emotion as he read out his handwritten speech.

In it, he said he had lived the dream and was “extremely proud” to have worn the captain’s armband.
Real Madrid star Becks was helped away by FA minders after reading out his 110-second statement.

Chelsea skipper John Terry is now set to become England’s new captain.
His first game in charge will be the friendly against Greece at Old Trafford on August 16.

Ashlee Simpson to represent... Victoria's Secret!

A little plastic surgery can go a long way. It turns out that it was a rumor that Ashlee Simpson was offered $4 million to pose for Playboy and turned it down. It's stranger than fiction, though, that Ashlee is going to be the new face of the Victoria's Secret "pink" line. She is also moving in with her boyfriend and guitarist for her band, Braxton Olita:

West Coast spies say she's selling her Encino home to move in with boyfriend Braxton Olita. (Young Braxton, who plays guitar in her shows, has also graduated from sleeping in the band tour bus to bedding down in Ashley's own private coach, I hear.)

She ought to be able to afford some flashy new digs. It will soon be announced that the 21-year-old will front the campaign for Victoria's Secret's new line, Pink. She beat out finalist Kelly Clarkson to become the face (and hips and legs and … well, everything else) of the new line of younger, "cuter" lingerie.

Finally, anyone with a ticket to her sold-out concert at the Borgata tonight is in for a special treat: Plans are afoot for her big sis, Jessica, to join her onstage for a "surprise" duet.

I could see her getting naked, but someone is paying her to model lingerie? That's too much. Everyone is saying that she's hot now that she looks just like Jessica, but she's still an ugly little girl to me.

Ashlee started her U.S. tour last month, and little girls in Chuck Taylors are eagerly awaiting her arrival in their city. She told concert-goers in Washington, DC that "It's OK not to be perfect":

"The biggest lesson I've learned this year is it's okay to not be perfect," Ashlee Simpson told a crush of young girls who came to see her at the Warner Theatre on Friday night.

Wait a minute -- is that an old speech left over from the great lip-syncing debacle of 2004? It's likely, since Ash's 2006 has been more about striving for bland cookie-cutter perfection than accepting perceived flaws -- as evidenced by her alleged nose job.

It might be ok not to be perfect, but she must have learned that lesson too late to take back her plastic surgery.

Here is Ashlee in July's Marie Claire and in Elle UK. [via]

Nicole Kidman did invite Tom Cruise to her wedding

Australian gossip rags are reporting that Nicole Kidman did invite her ex, Tom Cruise, to her wedding with Keith Urban last weekend. He didn't attend, but sent his regards. His two adopted children with Kidman did attend:

The 39-year-old star apparently invited Tom and present squeeze Katie Holmes – who have a daughter Suri - to the wedding in her native Sydney, Australia.

Oz tabloids claim to have seen copies of the invite, which would have followed the correct wedding/ex-partner etiquette if Cruise and Holmes were unavailable to attend.

While Cruise and Kidman's adopted children from their marriage, Isabelle and Connor, were both at last Sunday's ceremony, the Mission: Impossible star was nowhere to be seen, but a source told the Sunday Mirror that the actor sent his best wishes instead.

"Tom wished Nicole all the best and was pleased all the troubles between them were over. He also said how much he hoped she finds joy," a friend told the paper.

Earlier reports that Tom sent Nicole a picture of Suri for her 39th birthday with the message "a very nappy birthday" were false, and were undoubtedly made up in England, where most of the fake gossip originates and nappy is a common colloquialism for diaper. Nicole was also said to have wished "mother and baby well" after the birth of Suri, but that turned out to be made up, too. It could be true that Tom sent his regards after the wedding, but we'll probably never know.

Nicole and Keith are back in Nashville after departing their honeymoon in Tahiti on Saturday. They left at night to avoid photographers, and boarded a jetboat to a chartered flight, which took them to the Island nation's capital, where they caught a private jet home. Their honeymoon was probably not as peaceful as they were hoping, considering that Eva Longoria and Tony Parker crashed their resort.

Nicole is no longer on pregnancy watch after she was photographed looking super-fit in a bikini. Both she and Keith are headed back to work:

The Oscar-winning actress, who is rarely seen in anything revealing, was photographed in a turquoise and white bikini showing off an amazingly toned abdomen, putting to rest any rumours she was pregnant.

The celebrity couple are set to get straight back to work - Urban kicks off the first show of his tour in Ontario, Canada on July 13 and Kidman is due to start filming her next movie, The Lady From Shanghai.

Here are lower resolution pictures of Nicole and Keith on their honeymoon, and some higher resolution candids of them back in Nashville. [via]

Woody Harrelson makes it obvious that he's cheating on his wife

TMZ has a big story and video of Woody Harrelson choking one of their photographers, but when you watch the video he only grabs the guy by the neck and talks to him in his face, and it doesn't like like he's trying to strangle him.

The photographer had "neck lacerations" that look serious, though, and are clearly finger marks. It's pretty convincing that Harrelson was forceful, and he'll probably get sued.

Here's my bad transcript of the tape:

Woody is seen with a blonde, brunette, and a guy. Then he's walking down the street with a brunette near him. He approaches the cameraman, and the camera is turned to the side so you can't see him.
"Turn it off, Turn it off, I'm asking you to turn it off."
"All I'm doing is my job."
"Will you stop doing it, please?"
"... Come on, man"
"I've asked you to stop. Are you going to stop?"
"Not when you ask me like that."
"I asked you politely... turn it off"
"No."
Scuffle ensues. (You have to click the link to the right for "Camera 2" if you want to see the alleged choking.)

TMZ says that the injured paparrazo tried to flag down a cop but that the officers ignored his complaint and just drove off. They went to the station and filed a criminal complaint and an invesitgation is underway:

LAPD Detective John Padilla told TMZ the investigation is ongoing and "We're going to present it to the D.A.'s office" as early as today. Padilla added, "With the tapes and all, it's pretty good evidence." Padilla said vandalism and assault and battery charges could be filed against Harrelson.

This is incredibly dumb of Woody, because he obviously got pissed getting videotaped and photographed while out with a brunette who wasn't his wife. He was seen with several women kind of walking together at first and should have played it off like it wasn't a big deal. He's cheating, though, or else why would he get so upset?

Danny Glover similarly hit a photographer in late April when he was photographed out with a woman who was not his wife.

No one cares about Danny Glover or Woody Harrelson and unless their wives are super sleuths they're not going to get their hands on some random paparrazi photos of their semi-famous husbands out with other women. Add some rage and violence to the mix, though, and they're sure to find out.

Harrelson's wife, Laura Louie just had his third daughter on 6/3. They live on the Hawaain island of Maui, and now she's going to realize what he gets up to when he's in Hollywood.

Star Jones' career is totally over

Star Jones just can't stop opening her big mouth. She screwed herself out of a chance to exit The View gracefully by blabbing that she's leaving on air, and then telling People that she was fired. She should have taken producers' advice to "make up a story" about why she's no longer going to annoy the old ladies who watch The View with her shrinking presence. Instead she behaved as arrogantly as she always does and managed to royally piss off Barbara Walters.

Word is that she has almost no chance of getting another job in television now that she's poured gasoline over all her rickety bridges.

Shari Anne Brill, director of programming at Carat USA, said Jones Reynolds' 15 minutes of fame could be over after she unexpectedly announced her departure during a live broadcast.

"If she didn't have something in the works, that would be an extremely bad career move," explained Brill. "You don't diss your boss. That's a serious bridge to burn."

Especially when your boss is TV legend Walters.

One insider said Reynolds Jones is widely regarded as "unemployable" because of her reputation as a diva.

"Are people going to want to buy the trouble?" he said. "I don't think so.

"She has won some of the audience with her wounded doe act, but in a year's time they won't even remember who she is."

Another TV source shared doubts about the 44-year-old's future.

"Star has meetings scheduled on both coasts with possible employers," she said. "The blast of publicity over her firing will produce a lot of offers - or none at all.

"Some TV executives might be concerned that Star is not a team player."

Here's Star on The Today Show. She tries to compare herself to people screwed by big corporations like Enron or Tyco, but she's totally full of shit. She also says she made the announcement she was leaving on Tuesday instead of Thursday because of the "nastiness" in the media.

That's part 1 of 2. The second part is here.

She better get television coverage when she can, because she's talk show poison now.

Britney says "My pictures were stolen too! Really!"

Britney Spears claims the glowing happy pictures that came out in US Weekly of her posing with Kevin were, like, totally stolen. She's said to be "evaluating legal options" against the magazine. You know that Britney released the photos herself after her "Dateline" debacle, and is just saying that to make it seem like they're really stolen:

Britney Spears has said she is "outraged and saddened" after holiday photos of her family were published in a US magazine.

Her record label Jive said the photos were stolen and that Spears and husband Kevin Federline were "evaluating all of their legal options".

The statement said the photos were stolen by "an unknown perpetrator" and printed by Us Weekly magazine without the couple's "knowledge or consent".

We seriously doubt this is true because the pictures are all cute and seem to come at a time when she needs good publicity and wants to make it seem as if everything is fine in her marriage. It's also seems like too much of a coincidence when compared with the recently leaked Brangelina baby shower pics.

Reader Missy notes that Britney and Kevin may look happy and privileged in these pictures taken on a private jet, but that Kevin is suspiciously hiding his ring finger. Someone must have "forgotten" to wear their wedding ring.

Camera repair guys who leaked Brangelina pics didn't do anything illegal

You've undoubtedly heard about the Brangelina baby shower pics that were released to a few blogs and media outlets with the promise of 450 more. It turns out that Angelina's kissing brother, James Haven, took his camera to BestBuy in LA but forgot to remove the memory card. BestBuy outsourced the job to Precision Camera in Enfield, Connecticut, where two guys thought they hit the jackpot. They might have, if they would have been smart enough to take basic precautions like using a proxy server and an anonymous e-mail address. Instead they used an easily traceable account and the feds raided their place of employment and one of their homes to recover the pictures. They probably would have been caught anyway, but it might have taken a couple of extra days.

They dodged a legal bullet since it was determined they didn't do anything illegal:

“It’s something that happened at work. I don’t really have much to say,” Beckwith told the Herald last night.

“I work at Precision and hopefully I’ll still work there tomorrow,” said Beckwith, a stocky man in his early 20s with tribal tattoos on his shoulders and arms. “They questioned people at work.”

Pressed for more details, Beckwith said, “You’ll have to talk to Bill about that,” referring to Keyes. Westfield cops and Secret Service agents from Boston, working at the request of LAPD detectives and the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, raided Keyes’ home Tuesday night and recovered the images, which have been returned to Pitt and Jolie, sources said.

“We were looking for the memory stick from the camera. We got it. We got the pictures. We got everything,” a law enforcement source said.

Westfield police said the men violated no Massachusetts laws but may be charged in California, which has anti-paparazzi measures on the books.

What I want to know is why the secret service got involved in a stupid celebrity photo leak case. How much taypayer money did that cost?

The two guyswho leaked the pictures, Bill Keyes, 36, and Adam Beckwith, 20 something, may not be arrested or charged, but Brangelina's lawyers are out for blood and they're going to get them to pay. Hopefully they'll get some decent pro bono support and will be able to avoid being sued.

Here are the Brangelina baby shower pics.

J.Lo's ex claims she does voodoo on people

J.Lo's first ex husband, Ojani Noa, is unable to publish a tell-all book about their relationship now that Lopez won a case against him publishing the book. He signed a confidentiality agreement with Lopez in late 2005 as part of his settlement payout for a breach of contract lawsuit against her. Noa claimed that Lopez had him unfairly fired from his manager position at her Pasadena restaurant, Madre's.

In April Noa told Lopez's attorneys that he'd put the book out unless she paid him a cool $5 million. Of course the diva wasn't having that and sued him in an attempt to block the book, which is said to have juicy details like J.Lo cheating on P.Diddy in 1999 with Marc Anthony. Unfortunately J.Lo was successful and we won't be able to get our hands on the novel, but one detail did come out: Noa claims Lopez does Santeria on her enemies to get back at them:

During a June 5 deposition, Noa, who was married to Lopez for about 11 months, gave an indication of the kind of material Lopez does not want published. Responding to a question from the actress's attorney, Noa (who remained friendly with his ex following their split) testified that Lopez "was doing voodoo when we weren't married. She was doing bad things to a lot of people when we were friends. And I knew all this time, because we did personally, me and her, to this particular lady." Noa added that Lopez did voodoo and "all this religious bullshit" to former lovers, including Sean "Puffy" Combs. The purported voodoo practices apparently stem from Lopez's religious devotion and the influence over her by a "Madrina," which is often described as a spiritual mentor for Santeria practitioners. Asked in a June 1 deposition why he thought he could keep selling stories about Lopez despite signing the six-figure settlement agreement, Noa said, "I mean, I live a free country. No? I can express myself. I can talk and say whatever I want to. No?"

I believe this, because Lopez was said to have consulted a Santeria advisor at the time of her upcoming wedding to Ben Affleck. The voodoo guru told her to call it off:

Jennifer Lopez is said to seek spiritual advice from Santerian priestess Merle Gonzalez, who has admitted the two are friends. She reportedly told Lopez to call off her wedding to Ben Affleck.

Santeria fuses Roman Catholic beliefs with traditional West African religions. It's preserved by an oral tradition and rituals involve animal sacrifice, dancing, chanting and magic spells. Animals,usually chickens, are sacrificed to bring good luck and forgiveness of sins, and to please the saints.

That's pretty funny and we hope more dirt gets released on Lopez even though the book was blocked. If she's gullible enough to believe in voodoo, maybe Lea Remini will successfully convert her to Scientology.

Here she is in the videoshoot for "I'm gonna be alright," which was released in 2002. [via]

If Naomi Watts is pregnant she's not very far along

Naomi Watts, 37, is now on pregnancy watch, and it's largely due to the loose tops and ill-fitting dresses she's worn out to recent events. She's been on pregnancy watch since wearing two different frilly dresses with tummy coverage to the Oscars. We were even declaring her pregnant after she wore a poncho to the Tribeca film festival in late April.

Then we saw some high-res photos of Naomi in a sheer, but loose top in mid-May. You could see her stomach through it and it was flat.

Watts may just be wearing loose tops because they're in style. Reese Witherspoon was called pregnant after she was seen in some loose clothing and it turns out that wasn't true at all.

Watts has made some comments that she'd like to start a family, though, and Australian reports have her pregnant already:

King Kong star Naomi Watts is expecting her first baby, according to media reports in Australia.

The actress was in Sydney, Australia, last weekend attending best pal Nicole Kidman's wedding to country star Keith Urban.

Rumours circulated after the stylish star was seen wearing a series of baggy garments and photographed leaving a Brentwood, California, fertility clinic.

Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper reports it was the second time Watts had been spotted visiting the clinic and that she was "sporting a definite glow" when she attended the Shakespeare in the Park gala in New York City's Central Park with beau Liev Schreiber on Thursday.

Watts was also seen visiting Chinese herbalist and fertility expert Lily Liu in Australia, who is renowned for her work assisting women who want to become pregnant.

The star recently admitted she was desperate for children, but was worried it might be too late to conceive: "I wish it could have happened a little bit sooner. I have wanted a family since I was 19."

If she is pregnant it's very soon along. She was photographed playing tennis on June 18th. Her top was pulling up and she did not have a stomach, although it's a little hard to tell. She was seen at the MacBeth In The Park 2006 Summer Benefit on June 28th in an empire-waist dress, which surely helped feed the rumors.

We really doubt it's true, although we hope it happens soon for her and Liev if they are indeed trying.

Here is Naomi in the photos we mentioned. She is seen with her boyfriend of over a year, actor Liev Schreiber, 38, and with Jessica Lang. Reader Millie let me know that Lang was not gracious about the latest remake of "King Kong" after having starred in the other remake from 1976. She said she wouldn't be seeing Peter Jackson's version of "King Kong" and considered it too commercial.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's divorce is final

We weren't holding our breath, but we were kind of hoping Nick and Jessica would get back together. Jessica wore her wedding ring around her neck for a while, and Nick told Rolling Stone that he still loved his wife of two years, but ultimately Jessica's immaturity and Nick's wild oats won out and now the two are officially divorced. The divorce was made final on June 30. No word yet as to the settlement amount. Jessica's dad tried to low-ball Nick into accepting a $1.5 million settlement, while Nick is said to have asked for a more realistic $8 million that he lowered to $5 million.

Nick is dating MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo while Jessica may be with her co-star in the upcoming film "Employee of the Month," comedian Dane Cook. Cook was involved with someone else at the time of filming, but is now single and said to be getting cosy with Jessica.

This is sad news for Nick and Jessica fans, and should serve as a warning to all women who try to hold out before marriage and then get married young because they can't wait.

Here is Jessica in NY on 6/28. She's wearing the deadly long jeans/platform sandals combo that caused Britney's near baby-drop. Nick Lachey is shown performing a private concert for Q-100 listeners on 6/29.

Kate Bosworth's career has taken off, but she's insecure about it

Kate Bosworth, 23, has a starring role in "Superman Returns," but she still seems to be uncertain about her star status. She says she was waiting to be replaced as Lois Lane, and that it's easy to be insecure in Hollywood.

She got the role of Lois Lane in "Superman Returns" on the recommendation of Kevin Spacey, who directed her in "Beyond the Sea." Director Bryan Singer saw a screening of the film and asked Spacey how she was to work with. Spacey had nothing but praise for the young actress, and Singer cast her in the role of Lane shortly afterwards. Bosworth was insecure about the big production, though, and was waiting for the axe to drop well into her work on the film:

She tried to convince Singer not to cast her, was "astounded" by the size of the production and says that even when she was on set in Sydney she was waiting for another actress to show up and take her place.

"Up until I had two months in the can, I was waiting to be replaced," she insists. (Bosworth wasn't necessarily Singer's one and only choice. The director also reportedly considered Claire Danes, Keri Russell and Lost's Evangeline Lilly.)

Bosworth started her career in a role of a friend of the young girl in "The Horse Whisperer" at the age of 14. She was an accomplished rider and went to the audition on a lark. She had her big break in the surfing film "Blue Crush" in 2002 and went on to play in "Wonderland" and "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton."

She says she's turned down roles that required nudity, but she leaves the option open by saying that she's not sure how she'll feel about it in a few years.

Now that Bosworth is in a blockbuster film, the buzz is that she's about to hit it big in Hollywood.

She doesn't see the lack of privacy and stalkerazzi as a problem yet, and is more concerned about her status in Hollywood:

Question: What are the negative sides of the business? The paparazzi? The lack of privacy?

"It is not so much that, I think — it's you're hot one second and cold another. It is a business where insecurities can be generated really easily. To make connections with people who are on your side, it begins to feel more like you are part of the community."

Bosworth says she's not engaged to Orlando Bloom and won't elaborate other than to say she's "very happy."

She was recently voted the sexiest Lois Lane over Teri Hatcher and Erica Durance.

One of Kate's eyes is half hazel and half blue, and she has been asked to wear contact lenses to hide it in every movie she's appeared in - except for "Superman Returns." Director Bryan Singer liked Kate's eyes the way they were and now the Lois Lane dolls have eyes that are two colors, just like the actress.

"Superman Returns" is doing well at the box office, with $21 million on its first opening day.

Here is Kate shopping at Gucci in NY on 6/27. I don't like her smock dress with the black belt and think she looks like one of the women who works at the cosmetics counter at a department store. Otherwise she's gorgeous. [via]
