"WTF are they wearing?" Links

A friend who runs another gossip blog recently asked me how I host such huge images on my site without eating up all the bandwidth at my hosting company. I told her that I use PhotoBucket to host all the images on Celebitchy. I heard about it from The Bastardly, who also uses it.

It turns out that Celebitchy eats up a lot of bandwidth at PhotoBucket, and they sent me a really courteous e-mail asking if I'd like to join their affiliate program. (They could have complained, charged more, or threatened to shut down my account for violating the terms of service - and those nude Paris Hilton lookalike photos did violate the terms of service, but instead they didn't even mention that and were so normal and nice about it.)

PhotoBucket has great free accounts, which is how I started out with them, and their premium account, the one that I use, is only $25 a year with unlimited bandwidth and lots of storage. It's convenient and easy to use for hosting personal photos, images for your website, and even videos. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you sign up for a free account it helps me out, so give it a try if you need a photo hosting solution. Thanks!

Stars with and without makeup

My BFF hairdresser back in the states, Ken, also went to cosmetology school. He did me up a few times before we went out and I looked incredible if I do say so myself. Makeup does wonders. It's a shame I'm not rich or I would fly him over here to hang out and make me look gorgeous every day. Access to top-notch makeup and hair experts is one of the major advantages of being a celebrity. (That and not having to deal with all the bullshit at the airport. Now we can't even bring our own water or books onto a plane. Do you think that makes us safer, because it seems like exactly the sort of thing that would please the terrorists. I'm just saying.)

Renee Zellweger (the before picture could be from "Bridget Jones")

Tori Spelling - ouch!

Kate Hudson - adorable

Pam Anderson - not bad

Thanks to Cherryjam at JJB for posting this and creating the pictures.

Scarlet Johansson & Josh Hartnett's soundproof bedroom

Scarlet Johansson and Josh Hartnett are said to have bought a $6 million loft in New York City - and to have requested extra soundproofing around their bedroom:

Life & Style Weekly cites an insider that says the couple are making every effort to keep their lives private once they move in. How you say? Soundproofing.

The insider dishes to the weekly magazine that neighbors needn’t worry about the lovebirds being loud. The couple are requesting extra soundproofing - in their bedroom!

“They asked that we change the design to include extra insulation between the bedrooms of the penthouse and the unit next door,” says a realty insider.

Josh’s rep tells L&S that the couple are not moving in together.

But the chatty real estate insider says it was Scarlett, 21, who scouted the 2,648-square-foot condo in Tribeca - which boasts three bedrooms, 2½ baths and two balconies...

And – a few days later, her father and Josh, 28, were seen poring over floor plans in a nearby café. “She seemed very pleased,” says the realty insider.

Scarlet and Josh lived together in Josh's Tribeca apartment from about December of last year until late March, when Scarlet is said to have spent $2 million on her own Tribeca condo. They've tried to keep a low-profile relationship, and that's great news that they're moving in together and giving it another try.

It could be true that just Scarlet's buying the place, but if she's requesting a soundproof bedroom there's got to be a good reason.

Here is Scarlet playing a journalist in "Scoop" with Woody Allen and hot Hugh Jackman. [via]

Latest "In Brief" - George Clooney was Suicidal

There's this "In Brief" section of Celebitchy that I don't update enough because I'm usually focusing on the main blog. Instead of trashing it or just leaving it with old news, I'll update it and post the latest news on the main blog.

Lindsay Lohan's Stalker
Lindsay Lohan has a stalker who's been sending her letters and flowers. Staff on "Georgia Rule" was alerted to his existence and asked to be extra-vigilant in case Lindsay decided to show up for filming that day. [TMZ]

Michael Clarke Duncan lost weight pretending to be a farmer
Michael Clarke Duncan, the big guy who played the miracle worker in "The Green Mile," lost 90 pounds by strapping a 100 pound tire to his waist and running around. He also used a sledgehammer to pound away at stuff. Someone should have made this into a reality TV special, because I really would have enjoyed watching it. [Starpulse]

Carmen Electra files for divorce

Jennifer Garner faints on film set

Jennifer Garner was in Arizona filming in 110 degree heat when she collapsed and fainted. Husband Ben Affleck rushed to be by her side, and flew from Boston to be with her as soon as he heard the news:

Ben Affleck jetted to Arizona to be with his ailing wife, Jennifer Garner, after the actress passed out in 110-degree Fahrenheit heat. New mom Garner was shooting new movie “Kingdom” in Phoenix last week when she was overcome by the heat and fainted. A set source says, "She overexerted herself."

The actress, 34, was taken to hospital while frantic aides tried to get in touch with her husband, who flew from Massachusetts to the desert as soon as he heard the news. Garner was released the next day and spent time relaxing with her concerned husband before returning to the film set.

That's terrible and I hope that Garner is ok. She's one of my favorite actresses.

This just gets me thinking, though, that she could be pregnant again. It was rumored that she was pregnant, but people say she's just having trouble losing that last little bit of baby weight, and Ben's cousin told Celebrity Baby Blog that she's definitely not pregnant. Still, Angelina fainted at the airport way back when and it turns out that she was in the early stages of her pregnancy. I'm just saying.

Here is Garner in an unknown photoshoot found at Jen-Fans.com.

Paris Hilton had to go to the hospital after her monkey bit her

Paris Hilton's monkey is tired of being an accessory to her bad style. He took a chunk out her arm, sending the ditzy heiress to the hospital to receive a tetanus shot.

Perhaps channeling the spirit of Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton's pet kinkajou, Baby Luv, bit Paris on the arm early Tuesday morning while the two were playing. We repeat: PARIS' KINKAJOU BIT HER ON THE ARM.

The wound was superficial and Paris spent a few hours at the hospital and received a tetanus shot.

Paris called her publicist, Elliot Mintz, at about 3AM Tuesday morning after the incident occurred. Mintz tells TMZ he drove her to the emergency room where she was seen by a doctor, treated and released. The whole ordeal took just a few hours.

In an odd bit of foreshadowing, an MTV special focused on Paris -- that aired the same day of the incident -- actually featured Baby Luv in a segment, during which the animal tried to bite her.

TMZ has a video of Paris holding the agitated kinkajou, Baby Luv, while describing the incident where she had to take a limo with all her animals in the back because the airline refused to transport them.

Paris' publicist really earns his money if he's going over to her house in the middle of the night to take her to the hospital. Doesn't she have a friend or throwaway lover who could do that for her?

Maybe the monkey just wanted to do Paris a favor and keep her from going out in an outfit like this. She is seen in a satin top and pants like the kind you wear to bed while wearing a red belt across her ribs. At least her purse, belt, and shoes coordinate. WTF? Look at the people behind her - they're totally making fun of her.

Pictures taken on 8/9 by X17 and found at Hollywood's Best.

Nicole Richie pukes on the floor at a party

Nicole Richie has been seen out with toned legs, suggesting she's been eating a little bit and using the leg press at the gym. She's also been photographed with two different mystery guys, one semi-hot and one weird.

Now comes news that she got wasted at a party with an out of control Mary-Kate Olsen and proceeded to puke all over the floor. Nicole didn't miss a step, though, and continued right on as if nothing had happened.

But the real action was happening inside the Sunset Boulevard club, where, sources say, Nicole Richie was getting into the party spirit with her spirit of choice: Tequila! "She was so wasted!" said an attendant, who also said that Ms. Richie's drinking partner, Mary-Kate Olsen, was not doing anything to help the situation. "She was dancing on the tables and then she started giving lap dances to her friends and random guys, too."

And then it happened, under the copper ceiling, amidst the hanging candles. "Nicole puked right on the floor, like right in the middle of the club," said the source. "Everyone saw! But I guess she didn't care. She kept partying."

"She loves tequila," said the source, a friend of Ms. Richie's. "But you know, she's so small—and she probably didn't eat anything that day. So you know, she probably had a couple shots and it just happened. She was just having a good time."

At least have the decency to go into the bathroom to puke. The few times in college I drank to the point of no return I somehow managed to make it into the bathroom in time. Of course I had more body tissue to absorb all that booze. Nicole probably has the alcohol tolerance of a child. (I was going to say toddler, but thought that sounded sick.)

Here is lovely Ms. Skin 'n Bones filming a segment with Tyra Banks for her talkshow. Commenters on JJB note that her head looks huge and it seems to be "carrying all 80 pounds of her," that she's "gonna have so many health problems in a few years," and that "she's already bald." What with drinking so much and not eating, it's not much of a stretch to think she'll have health problems. At least she gained a smidgeon of weight.

Thanks to Hollywoods Best for these pictures.

What people are saying about the supposed Suri pictures

So these far-away pictures of a supposed baby Suri where published on X17online, and I found myself reading all the comments on JustJared. I'm rather fascinated by the sordid baby Suri story, and personally believe that something incredibly fishy is going on. Like the pictures of the Loch Ness Monster (which some claim were just the trunks of submerged circus elephants bathing in the Loch) all is not what it seems. There's something ominous and creepy about these photographs and they look staged.

Here are my favorite comments, organized by category, from JustJared.

These pictures are really fucking creepy, and make it seem like Katie is trapped

Ugh, I got the shivers looking at this picture. It is very Omen-esque...like the scary nanny and the mansion. So very scary. - MMM

Looks like a scene out of a horror movie. Woman gazes out of window of large country manor house as child of satsn lulls behind her in crib plottin end of the world. Whatever! So tired of Tom, Katie (Kate) and even the child that they could show up at my door and I wouldn't care. - HeyBabyHeyBabyHey

It's a scene from Amityville Horror meets Rosemary's Baby. - Niecy

The Baby is too big. It's older than they claim or it's a doll:

It looks too big to be a baby...it's probably Tom wearing diapers. It is truly scary as mentioned in other comments...I think when I do see the baby I will still never belive it is truly the couple's real child. :( - Natalie

Uh, that looks like a 2 year old...and something is DEIFINTELY rotten in Denmark. I am so over Tom "Crazy Pants" Cruise. - redonkulous

this baby looks too big to be 4 months!! katie looks scarey looking out the window. i got chills, they're multiplying! - diane

My friend's baby is 10 months, 28" tall and 18 pounds. My baby is 3 months old, 23" tall and 15 pounds. Don't make me cry by saying Suri couldn't POSSIBLY be that big already- my guy's a Sumo! :) - UberGoober

These pictures are staged:

I'd feel bad that we were peeking into their house if the whole thing didn't scream "STAGED!!!!" I hope Katie is planning her escape. - mickey

Fake...its a prop. Plus, why would you leave a baby just laying on a bed alone? Its staged and fake?!?! - Me

It's wrong to peep into the Cruise's mansion:

am i the onlyone who finds it kinda wrong that they peeked into their windows with a telephoto lens? sure i want to see thekid,but this makes me feel kinda weird. - ter

I can't stand Tom or Katie, but I think the paps are going too far. I'd be pissed if they were taking pictures of people in my damn house! Disgusting. What a culture we live in. - Erin

i think katie is trying to spot the helicopter. wellthe baby (actually the whole pic) looks way to grany to see anything, so vanity fair still got their scoop. however i think it's wrong to take these kind of pics, even though i can't bring myself to not look at them. still i feel kinda bad for them.- Bertz

The way these photos were taken is horrible indeed! Celebrities can't even stand at their fuckin' windows without being photographed! No miracle that Suri hasn't seen the day of light yet - when they even take pictures of her when she's IN the house! - Angelika

About the conspiracy:

Anonymous , I totally agree with you. I know an insider, as well, who swears that Tom is gay, that he knows of assorted men and "rent boys" that have been brought in for Tom (he's that close to the situation) and that the baby Nicole miscarried was her driver's (not Ewan MacGregor's) and Tom was PISSED that she violated her contract, just shy of its 10-year stipulation...that's why he TRIED to get away with not giving her the pay-off on their business contract sham of a marriage. People have been PAID to keep their mouths shut; others have been PAID to lie their asses off! Tom has NOT fathered any biological child because he has not had sex with any of his so-called wives...they have ALL been under contract in their "marriages" to pose as a real wife and have been paid well and signed papers that they cannot disclose ANY information on Tom, their relationship or his involvement with the Church of $. So, you will NOT be hearing any negative or contradictory comments from Nicole. He even bugged her house after they split. There is a baby, but it was born back in December. That is the reason Katie's belly has fluctuated so much in size...yes, she was pregnant, but she was pregnant long before it was announced. They cannot show the baby at this time, because the baby is too big to be passed off as a four-month-old, because it is, in fact, eight months old. The baby IS NOT TOM'S! As far as the paps go, this is an invasion of privacy. I don't know if that picture is really Suri, yet. But Suri is not a four-month-old baby! Tom may release photos when she gets large enough to "fudge" her age, but right now, she could NOT pass for a four-month-old. End of story. - whisper

Stop thinking about this shit that long! Just because there haven't been any photos around yet Katie wasn't even pregnant at all, Tom isn't the biological father or the kid is somehow ugly or what?? That's absolutely crazy, and I feel sorry for everyone like Aisling who invent crazy, weird stuff in their heads. That's complete bullshit, there haven't been any pictures of Tom's adopted kids at the beginning either, he just obviously didn't want it - look at all the Scientology rules, people aren't even allowed to do baby talk in Suri's presence, so why should the public be allowed to even SEE her? Just forget about this baby and live your own life! You'll see the pictures when they're released, end of story!! - Angelika

Whatever's going on, these creepy ass pictures don't clear it up!

Meanwhile the Beckhams have been invited to see the miracle changeling in person, but the list of rules are weird as hell. Maybe by inviting the Beckhams and telling them they can't touch, photograph or talk to the baby, Cruise's camp hopes to explain why the poor thing hasn't seen the light of day.

Britney gives K-Fed a credit card with no limit

Britney Spears has shown the world how gullible she is by giving her husband an American Express Black card, also known as the Centurion. An invitation-only card with a hefty $2,500 annual fee, the Centurion gives holders automatic first class flight upgrades on all airlines and offers access to airport clubs and personal shoppers at luxury stores. It features a personal concierge and travel agent. If you can think it up, you can probably get it with an AmEx black card.

In the 1980s tales of the "Black" no-limit American Express card were just urban legends, but Amex responded to the black card lore and decided to offer it to high rollers. Now rappers name-drop it in songs, and uber-rich people have the opportunity to go deeper in debt than they ever dreamed possible.

By giving K-Fed access to her Amex Centurion, Britney is essentially letting him empty any bank account he wishes. He has the opportunity to spend lots of money in a very short time with a single phone call. Here's what people have done with the Centurion card:

One cardholder wanted to locate and purchase the horse ridden by Kevin Costner in Dances with Wolves. The horse was located in a stud ranch in Mexico, purchased and delivered to Europe.

Another cardholder wanted a handful of sand from the Dead Sea for a child's school project on the Holy Land. Someone was dispatched by motorcycle to the shores of the Dead Sea to obtain the sand, which was couriered back to London.

Yet another cardholder required American Express to organize a wedding, including designing the wedding card, drawing maps to direct guests to the banquet, renting tuxedos and shoes for guests, and preparing the hotel room with a jacuzzi for the wedding night.

And for another cardholder who aspired to be an actress and wanted to be part of the crew of a weekly soap opera on TV, American Express contacted the director and arranged for an audition.

Hey maybe AmEx can help K-Fed with his rapping career! He should call them up now that the black card is in his posession. They seem capable of hooking people up with just about anything.

Seriously, though, Britney is trusting her fortune to a guy who has a custom Ferrari worth more than a quarter of a million dollars, and a Maserati worth at least six figures. He also reportedly bought a $30,000 watch without asking Britney. Now is that the kind of person you would trust with your money?

Here's Britney dropping off a mini Escalade at her recording studios for Sean Preston to play with while she's there, and Kevin getting a haircut and pumping gas. Sean Preston, 11 months, took his first steps in Las Vegas last week. So now he must be old enough to drive a car, right?

Lindsay Lohan just about to burn out

I'm sorry for two Lindsay Lohan stories today, but I just couldn't resist this latest news. Page Six is reporting that Lindsay Lohan is just about to get kicked out of her digs at the Chateau Marmont hotel. Hotel staff are annoyed at her comings and goings at all hours of the night:

According to Page Six, the freckled phenom's behavior at the Chateau, where Hollywood royalty has indulged themselves for years in well-shielded privacy, has prompted management to consider a ban. "They are trying to kick her out. It is very disruptive with all of her friends coming in and out and her late nights," says one source. A rep for the hotel says the rumor isn't true.

Lindsay shocked her accountants by running up a $1,000,000 bill at the Chateau Marmount last year. Why doesn't she just buy a house? There was another story that Lindsay spent another million on clothing alone when she easily could have been comped many of the luxury brands she wears.

There's also a report from a "Herbie: Fully Loaded" crew member that claims that Lindsay was as much of a lazy brat on that set as she's been publically chastized for on her latest film.

She stayed out all night, and then the doctor announced that Ms Lohan had asthma the next day. She played the exhaustion card a couple of times. Too tired from shooting to bear another day of shooting. She calls in sick one day and we find out she is across town shooting a day with her then-boyfriend on That 70's Show. Another day she has the "doctor" call in Ms Sickie's fake ailment, because she was shooting her own music video the night before. Many mornings during the Herbie show were rescheduled according to the Puffy Face Report. The Princess was able to make the production [crew] recreate the desert race sets closer to the Four Seasons. She said she had signed on "to do a film in Los Angeles" and El Mirage was too hot and too far. She is a brat. One day she comes storming up the Team Payton driveway, followed by the producer. It seems he had to insist that Lindsey play her off-screen lines for Michael Keaton. This common courtesy she could not afford her fellow actor.

The way Lindsay is going she's going to spend all her cash on purses and hotel rooms and will have such a bad reputation in the industry that she won't be able to get another job. Maybe she gets her drugs for free though.

Here's Lindsay having a little upskirt accident and shopping. [via] and [via

Diddy, "The King of Sexy," let Justin Timberlake "borrow" the term

Diddy seems to think that he owns the common adjective "sexy" and that he alone holds the rights. He said he is the true "King of Sexy" and that he let Justin Timberlake "borrow" the term for his latest CD:

Hip-hop mogul SEAN COMBS has given JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE permission to use his catchphrase "sexy" for his comeback single. The Bad Boy Entertainment boss is famed for his use of the word, and he has no problem with Timberlake hijacking the term for his song SEXYBACK. Diddy says, "I'm a big fan of Justin and he's allowed to use my catchphrase 'sexy' and run with it. I mean, I got it from somebody else, so it's all good. "(But) I am the king of the sexy, Justin. Let's not get it twisted."

Victoria's Secret must have called up Diddy before the launch of their Very Sexy bras to make sure he approved of their use of the word. Or maybe they're paying him royalties.

Oh wait - I dated a patent attorney a while ago, and I think the way it works is that you only have rights to a trademark within a certain industry. In that case Diddy is the sole "sexy" singer and Timberlake indeed needs to bow to him in order to call himself sexy. All other professions and industries can be sexy without Diddy's approval.

Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend's big fight

Oscar winner Charlize Theron and her boyfriend of five years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, are said to have had a spat while out a Hollywood restaurant last week. The Mirror reports that Charlize showed up 45 minutes late for dinner and that Stuart lectured her for it in front of their embarassed friends:

The couple, who've been dating for five years, had agreed to meet [at the Hungry Cat restaurant in Hollywood] before attending a Radiohead concert with two pals last week.

But 33-year-old Irish hunk Stuart was afraid Charlize had messed up their schedule and launched an ugly attack when she finally arrived. The 31-year-old Monster actress pleaded with her man to forgive her for being late - but Stu didn't seem in the mood.

A source at the restaurant tells us: "Charlize sat teary eyed as Stuart acted like a schoolmaster, lecturing her in front of their friends - like she was a tardy student."

Diners looked shocked as Stuart's diatribe went on and on.

"Charlize kept trying to apologise, but he wouldn't let it go, calling her rude in front of their two guests," adds the source.

The scolding subsided momentarily while a waitress took their meal orders, with Charlize ordering only a drink.

Says our mole: "Charlize was really embarrassed. She pleaded: 'I'm so sorry I was late, and I'm sorry you had to wait.

But I'm here now,' before soothing him with kisses and caresses until he finally let up.

"He eventually gave in and said: "I forgive you, but don't let it happen again." A restaurant employee confirmed: "Charlize and Stuart did come in for dinner last week. They came before a Radiohead concert. They were very late to their table."

This might have happened, but The Mirror lost all credibility for me when they claimed Nicole Kidman was out at a party when she was really outside the Creative Artists offices.

I wouldn't be surprised if they only information they had is that Charlize was late to dinner while her boyfriend and their friends waited.

What I want to know is when are these two getting married? They had some trouble back in March, with reports that they had broken up, but now that they're back together and supposedly doing fine it's about time Townsend popped the question. Charlize has been wearing what looks like an engagement ring on her left ring finger, so these two may be engaged already.

What if Matthew McConaughey and Lance Armstrong came out?

I'm not saying that Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey are anything more than hot, sweaty friends who like to do sports together and hang out shirtless on beaches in Miami. Let's just imagine that these two are actually lovers and make the bold move to come out, though. It would be difficult for them to admit, but they would be applauded for it, and "straight" men everywhere might see that it's not so bad to switch to the other side. Hell if top actors and athletes can do it, it must not be that taboo. At first it would be a big scandal, but then everyone would say how brave they are to admit it.

This will never happen because it would jeopardize McConaughey's career playing the hot sporty guy in every crappy romantic comedy. He's even signed on to do a new one with Kate Hudson. They're going to play a divorced couple looking for treasure in "Fool's Gold." Sounds fabulous:

The film centres on married couple whose eight-year search for treasure leaves them broke and out of gas. As soon as they divorce, the couple finds a missing clue that could lead them to the booty.

In related news, Jake Gyllenhaal has been confirmed to play the role of Lance Armstrong in an upcoming biopic about the seven-time Tour de France winner's life. Matt Damon was originally slated for the role:

Jake Gyllenhaal has taken over the role of cyclist Lance Armstrong in a new movie about the Tour de France champ's life, according to reports. Matt Damon was thought to be first choice to play the seven-time winner on the big screen.

Gyllenhaal has taken over the role, and recent cycling training he has been doing with the sportsman is actually practice for the grueling role, according to Moviehole.net. The pair was recently spotted hanging out at the French event and have also been seen pedaling in the Hollywood hills with another fitness fanatic star, Matthew McConaughey.

Moviehole claims Damon pulled out of the film because of his busy schedule.

I wonder how Gyllenhaal landed that role.

Here are Lance and Matt on the beach. Thanks to DListed for these pictures.

Lindsay Lohan to start a tattoo parlor and put out a photography book

Lindsay Lohan just can't slow down. The girl loves talking about herself, and she really likes looking at herself too. She told I-d Magazine that she doesn't read the tabloids, but she does look at her own pictures. Big surprise:

"I don't read the tabloids much anymore. (I just look at the pictures to see how I am in other people's eyes.) I'm comfortable in my own skin. You know, you really want to please everyone, but I'm not going to do things just to make other people happy. I've learned to say 'no' more than 'yes.' I mean, nothing against the people who do, but I would never do a line for K-mart or something. I love fashion too much. There are certain things I want to do."

[from the September, 2006 issue of I-d Magazine, print edition]

One of those "things" is put out a book of photographs of herself and her friends, including Karl Lagerfeld, who she brags about knowing, She talks about charity, too, but it's doubtful she'll ever get to it with all the other crap she's planning:

[Lindsay wants] to open a boutique in Paris carrying work by Lagerfeld...

She's also putting together a book of photographs of herself, Moss, Lagerfeld, and others for a book, "It's going to be called Narcissist." She pauses and looks off as if to say, I know what people are going to say and I don't care.

She has started a production company and is teaming with her good friend, Natalie Portman... on a project.

She's planning a trip to Kenya, "I've always wanted my own charity. That's something I'm really involved in. Something I will have more time for in the long run."

She goes on to talk about her plans to visit Iraq while channeling Marilyn Monroe.

This girl is so full of shit. She admitted as much this week by saying that she "says things that aren't true a lot." That's called lying, Lindsay! Is everyone else as sick of this girl's bullshit as I am?

Britain's The Sun reports that Lindsay plans to open a tattoo parlor in LA! Let's hope this isn't true:

A pal told me: “Lindsay is setting up her own tattoo place which will be like a trendy, glass-fronted fashion store. She will work on her own designs and will market it to young society people.

“Lindsay wants to create a complete brand which will move into clothes and merchandising. She’s looking for business partners and tattooists to come in on it with her.”

Lindsay, girl, slow down. You're going to burn out more than your voice.

"Flavor of Love" is highest rated Vh1 debut ever (pictures NSFW)

Over 3 million people tuned in to watch Flava Flav look for love again amongst a catfighting harem on the debut of "Flavor of Love" this Sunday on Vh1. The big scandal was "Somethin" taking a crap on the stairs. Producers undoubtedly put her up to it. "Pumkin" claims that she spit in "New York's" face last season at the suggestion of the producers. Is it really worth the notoriety? In "Pumkin's" case she was fired from her job. "Somethin" might have trouble showing her face for years.

Here's the incident:

And here's Somethin explaining what happened. Yeah, right:

That's plain nasty, and it's so obviously staged. It sure brings in the ratings though:

Colorful Public Enemy star Flavor Flav is celebrating because the season premiere of his "Flavor Of Love" reality show has scored cable channel VH1's biggest debut ever.

The outrageous show, in which girls compete for the rapper's affections, drew 3.3 million viewers to VH1 on Sunday night, beating everything else on cable that night, including a new episode of acclaimed drama Entourage.

Six million viewers watched the first "Flavor of Love" season finale in March, making the show the top-rated telecast in VH1 history.

Yeah, it sure is entertaining to watch people get disgusted by poop. Who am I kidding? If I still lived in the states I would have watched it.

Here are some of the Flavor of Love girls from 99monkeys. Videos found at DListed.

Jason Statham in "Crank"

British hottie Jason Statham stars with Amy Smart in the action film "Crank" about a hit man trying to settle a score. I loved him in "Snatch," "The Italian Job," and even "The Transporter," and from the trailer this looks like a slick and entertaining film.

Statham is also revising his role as "Handsome Rob" in a sequel to "The Italian Job" to come out in 2008. It's called "The Brazilian Job," and Charlize Theron, Mark Wahlberg, Mos Def and Seth Green have all signed on.

Here are pictures of Statham in the movie with Amy Smart. "Crank" is out August 1st.

Jen and Vince deny deny deny

Vince and Jen were engaged for three hours yesterday, and everyone was tentatively happy for gloomy Aniston. Not even a well-Photoshopped magazine cover with a fake headline can get these two together publically, because they denied the rumor almost as soon as it was out. But - hold your horses - Jennifer's publicist is known for his baldfaced lies, so this could possibly be true!

Despite making a joint appearance on Us Weekly's latest cover under the blaring headline, "Vince Proposes! Jen Says Yes!," Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn remain unengaged, according to the former Friends star's rep.

"It is not true--they are not engaged," Stephen Huvane told E! News on Wednesday.

Of course, as Us Weekly was only too happy to point out on its Website, Huvane has a history of issuing denials over reports that later turned out to be accurate.

For example, in November 1999, when Aniston was spotting wearing a diamond sparkler on her left ring finger, Huvane denied that she was engaged to Brad Pitt, claiming the bauble was "not an engagement ring," and he continued to deny that the pair planned to marry up until their June 29, 2000 wedding.

In December 2004, two weeks before Pitt and Aniston announced their split, Huvane maintained that all was well in their union. "They are looking forward to spending the holidays with each other. There is no split. They are fine," he told Us Weekly.

In February 2005, Huvane denied reports that Aniston planned to move back into her former Hollywood Hills home, claiming it had been leased out to Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher. Lo and behold, the couple was asked to move out that month so that Aniston could move back in later that year.

Finally, when rumors that Aniston and Vaughn were dating first surfaced in July 2005, Huvane denied there was any romantic interest. "Vince is a good friend of Jennifer's. I think the tabloids are so eager to see her with someone romantically that they just make these false assumptions," he told the New York Post.

When Jen and Vince go out of their way to avoid each other publically, and Vince is completely unable to acknowledge the relationship, it makes it obvious that he's unwilling to commit.

If US Weekly is right and there is an actual engagement, it seems like a last-ditch effort by Vince to keep Jen. He strikes me as the type of guy you can never pin down who would only ask Jen to marry him if he had no other options. My last boyfriend before I met my husband was like that. I dealt with his indecision for two years before that lousy relationship finally bit the dust. You can't get blood out of a stone, and a man won't change for you. Instead of trying to get a pet or focusing on other things, you should trade those type of guys in for a better model.

This doesn't make sense though, because aren't they supposed to be planning a huge wedding now? If they just got engaged at this point - and even if they didn't, logic dictates that all the wedding stories are false. People don't plan weddings before they're engaged.

Elusive baby Suri supposedly captured on film!

First people said they saw her, and now there are supposed photographs that will be published in Vanity Fair this Fall. Come on, why the delay?

SURI Cruise's days of being a mystery baby some believe doesn't really exist are about up. Sources say Vanity Fair has landed the first photos of the care fully guarded tot spawned by Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes last April. The pictures were taken by ce lebrity snapper Annie Leibovitz and will be published this fall, spies say. Both Vanity Fair and Cruise's reps had no comment. In recent weeks, celeb pals of the couple, including Tom's ex Penelope Cruz, have tried to dampen skepticism by insisting they've seen her.

You know they say that the photographs were taken by Annie Liebovitz to add a smidgeon of legitimacy to the claims that Suri's been photographed. Why would they take pictures ~~now~~ ahead of time and then release them in the Fall? They have to know that the pictures will get out and no amount of legal threats will keep them off the blogs like little Shiloh's online debut. Unless there really are no fucking pictures at all and they're just trying to buy time until they can come up with a baby.

By saying the pictures were taken ~~now~~ in April they also get the added advantage of masking the baby's age. Babies age a lot in a few months. If they claim the pictures were taken ~~now~~ in April they have a few months to procure a newborn baby and get pictures taken just in time for publication.

This baby has never been photographed even far away and there's a huge bounty on its head. No baby accessories, strollers, or carseats have ever been seen near its parents or their vehicles. There are very peculair circumstances surrounding its birth, with a questionable birth certificate. Only a few "eyewitnesses" have come forth - with strange statements that sound coerced.

Yesterday Tom's rep said that pictures would be released "soon." All of sudden they're claiming that Annie Liebovitz has already photographed the baby. This is bullshit.

Update: Thanks to Angelika for pointing out that the baby was said to be photographed back in April, not now. That makes it even more suspect because they have until the Fall to get pictures of a newborn.

New HQs of Brad Pitt on the Oceans 13 set

No wonder Angelina's in a tizzy, Brad Pitt is back to work and looks to have recovered more than just his masculinity. He's cool again!

Jessica Simpson gushed about Brad in her Ok! interview, saying his body in "Fight Club" is "the best male body" and that she still dreams about him.

Brad is shown in Vegas on the Oceans 13 set and at the Bellagio playing cards. Unlike Daniel Craig, he knows how to play poker. Pictures from SimplyBrad.com via JJB.

Update There's a story that Angelina Jolie is asking people to spy on Brad for her while he's away filming, and that she's needy and insecure and is calling him up to ten times a day. The source is some British magazine I've barely heard of, so I really doubt it's true.

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn are engaged!

Guess Vince broke down and realized he had to commit to Jennifer Aniston or risk losing her. Maybe that call from Matthew McConaughey uh, pushed him over the edge... into the abyss. Vince has proposed to Jennifer, and US Weekly has confirmed it:

Us Weekly has confirmed that Vince Vaughn, 36, has popped the question to his girlfriend of one year, Jennifer Aniston, 37. “They’re engaged!” a friend of the couple’s tells Us, adding, “Vince almost cries whenever he tells the story of the proposal.”

On June 27, as the couple returned home on a private Gulfstream jet to L.A. after a romantic, nine-day vacation at Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis’ $25 million coastal retreat near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the actor nervously got down on bended knee. At that moment, he asked for Aniston’s hand in marriage – with, say sources, a substantial diamond ring.

“He was going to propose on the beach during the trip, but he chickened out because he wasn’t sure if she would accept,” says the source. “But he knew he was leaving town [to film Into the Wild in South Dakota] for awhile, so he just felt he had to ask her before they landed.”

I for one would like to see the ring, and Jen and Vince's smiling faces out at a public event. If he's serious about keeping her he won't pull that "we're buddies" crap in interviews anymore and they shouldn't be afraid to be photographed together. Um, best wishes?

Dave Navarro and Jenna Jameson really are hitting it

Reader Angelika alerted me to a post on PerezHilton's site that claimed that Dave Navarro was putting the blocks to America's favorite former porn star Jenna Jameson. I said I'd wait until the story got picked up by other news outlets, but it's true and I shouldn't have waited.

TMZ reports that they contacted Jenna's publicist and she confirmed their relationship:

As Star first reported, TMZ has confirmed with legendary adult film star Jenna Jameson's publicist that she has split from her husband and is, in fact, dating Dave..

I must say this is a nice score for Dave. It would be tough for Dave to find anyone to replace firecracker Carmen, but from what I've seen, ahem, I mean "heard" Jenna is up to the task.

Yeah, I can't wait until these two go out in public and are photographed together. No wonder Jenna's husband is abusing strippers. He's pissed that she left him!

Carmen won't be happy to hear about Dave's latest hookup, but rumor has it that Carmen and Dave were split for months before they announced their divorce.

Poor Jessica Simpson's fat and lonely

Jessica Simpson still looks pretty good when she's not wearing ill-advised black sack dresses. Star Magazine claims she's gained 20 pounds, though, and even fan site Sweetkisses.net says she's sporting a fuller figure. She still looks gorgeous and what's wrong with a starlet who's a size 8?

While The National Ledger claims Star Magazine says that Jessica is dating newly single Scrubs star Zach Braff and that she's seen him on both the East and West coast, The Scoop reports that the same article has Jessica fending off his advances:

The recently divorced “Newlyweds” star seemed “put off” by the advances of the “Scrubs” star at a recent event at the Pink Elephant in the Hamptons, according to the new issue of The Star. “He was flirting up a storm and being very aggressive,” a source told the tab. “You could tell it grossed out Jess and her friends. He was like a horny schoolboy.”

In fact, none of the string of hotties the former “Newlyweds” star has been linked with is panning out. She “blindsided” her “Employee of the Month” co-star, Dane Cook, by calling him on June 22 and saying they should go their separate ways, according to the Star. Spokespeople for the two have denied that they were ever an item, but gossips insist that they’ve secretly dated. And Simpson’s fling with Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine has apparently flopped.

“Jessica is lonely and needy,” a source tells Star. “She’s having a hard time dealing with the fact that [ex-husband] Nick [Lachey] is in love [with MTV’s Vanessa Minnillo].”

It's too bad that she's single and lonely, but she let Nick slip through her fingers and maybe she'll be more mature about her relationships in the future.

In the August UK edition of Ok! Magazine, Jessica says she loves her curves and that she enjoys eating. She also says that she does Pilates to stay in shape and that she doesn't want to bulk up like former wrestling star Chyna. (That's a myth since weight training helps you stay slender and toned, and is a more effective way to shape your body than aerobics.)

Here is Jessica in Ok! and in an ad for her handbag and shoe line. [via]

Matthew McConaughey hits on Jennifer Aniston!

Star Magazine reports this week that Matthew McConaughy called Jennifer Aniston in a not-so-subtle attempt to get her to go out with him.

"When Matthew called, the source tells Star, “Jen told him she was flattered, but she didn’t think it would be right to go out with Matt While she’s dating Vince."

A friend of Matt’s then tells Star Magazine, “He doesn't give up when he has his eye on someone. He’s figuring out his next move.”

Jennifer's rep denied that she received a call from McConaughy, but it could be true. If it really happened, it doesn't mean McConaughy was serious about it. He may have just wanted the publicity so that he can stem some of the rumors that he's enjoying Lance and Jake's company in every way possible. It was a pretty slick move on his part, considering he picked an actress who's technically unavailable, but hasn't gone public with her relationship.

Aniston seems to be having a hard time in her relationship with bloated paramour Vince Vaughn. While it was rumored last week that they broke up, that doesn't seem true since Vince was spotted out with Aniston and was seen leaving her house. Poor Aniston has bought a new dog to keep her company while she waits for a commitment from Vince that will never come. Maybe she should have gone out with McConaughy. At least it would have made Vince jealous.

Power struggle at the Jolie-Pitts: Angelina walks out!

Angelina supposedly got fed up with Brad's demands that she stay at home and take care of their kids and left their Malibu estate in a huff to stay at a hotel with the kids for a few days. Star Magazine is set to report that she checked into the Hotel Bel Air in Beverly Hills on July 29:

Star then cites "sources close to Angelina" that claim she stormed out of the Malibu mansion she shares with Pitt after a fight. The report will detail that Brad supposedly offended his "free spirited lover when he suggested that she should play stay at home mom while he is on location for Ocean’s Thirteen."

Jolie already has two projects lined up with 'Kung Fu Panda' and 'A Might Heart' so it might be tough to keep this lady at home...

Brad was reportedly “stunned” and “incredibly angry,” says the insider, while Angie and their brood settled calmly into the lap of luxury for a few days of what the mag calls "Father Doesn’t Know Best."

An employee of the hotel told Star, “We are taking extra good care of her.”

Don't worry Brangelina fans, they have kissed and made up according to the report.

Star reports that by Aug 3rd the couple had made amends - the couple met for a romantic dinner at the nearby Hotel Roosevelt’s Dakota restaurant, where they shared a cheeseburger, a quesadilla and a salad.

The pair then spent the night in a romantic $7,000 a night suite.

Here are the websites for the Hotel Bel Air and the Hotel Roosevelt so you can see where the famous hotties stayed. I only have one kid, not three, but I'd use any excuse to get away to a spa resort for a few days if I could. Who can blame Angelina?

She must be stressed out being a new mom and I bet she won't be adopting right away as she seemed to imply in recent interviews.

I was a bit curious about the timeline in this report because didn't she just step out with Brad and Maddox for lunch? It turns out that was on July 25th, making this timeline possible. Considering the demand for photos of the Jolie-Pitts, it's surprising that no one has any pictures of her stay at the resort, but that's probably why she picked the place - and part of the reason why she needed to get away.

There does seem to be a power struggle in Brad and Angelina's relationship. With Angelina having the upper hand for so long, she must be annoyed that Brad is working and striking out on his own. She's probably just overwhelmed with motherhood, though. People think this won't last, but I bet they'll weather more than a few storms together.

Here are some of the latest St. John ads featuring Angelina. [via]

"Employee of the Month" looks pretty boring

I know how the screenwriter of the new movie with Jessica Simpson and Dane Cook, "Employee of the Month," pitched it: "It's like Office Space in Costco meets Napoleon Dynamite."

The film's even got Pedro from "Napoleon Dynamite" except he's named "Jorge."

It doesn't look original or particularly funny. You know that it's gonna suck when the trailer looks boring. There could be some good parts, but I'm not impressed.

Trailer #1, kind of boring

Trailer #2, a bit better

Comingsoon.net says that "Employee of the Month" will be released on October 6, 2006.

Thanks to Bricks and Stones for finding these.

Pete Doherty and Kate Moss rekindle their dysfunctional relationship

Kate Moss and Pete Doherty are back together, at least for now. I haven't kept up with troubled Pete like I should, but he had a chemical implant put in his stomach to help him kick heroin and was said to have tried to go to rehab again for like the tenth time.

Whatever he's done, it worked well enough to help him get back together with the love of his life, waif supermodel Kate:

Kate and Pete arrived at the Rhythm Festival in Kate's chauffeur-driven Range Rover.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "They got out of the car and held hands as they walked to the VIP area - laughing and touching each other the whole time.

"They were acting like a couple of honeymooners.

"They were kissing passionately and didn't leave each other's side all night."

The pair apparently joined singer Jerry Lewis backstage afterwards.

Crack and heroin addict Pete has just come out of rehab and has had a new implant fitted.

He originally got together with Kate almost 18 months ago at her 31st birthday party but they split up late last year after Kate checked into rehab following cocaine allegations.

Kate has plenty of substance abuse problems on her own. While she may have kicked the hard stuff, she still knows how to drink like a fish. She royally pissed off her friend, Jade Jagger, by getting wasted and running up a nearly $10,000 hotel bill in Amsterdam. She stuck her surprised hosts, The Rolilng Stones, with the tab. She offered to pay after leaving the country, but the damage was already done.

"Kate is not the Stones' favourite person right now. She was invited as their guest and while they were expecting to pick up the cost of the room, they were not impressed at the amount she ran up on drinks and food. Her behaviour was also very strange. She was unsteady on her feet and was clearly drunk and had to be taken up to her room."

[Thanks to Random Human for the tip]

Guess Kate and Pete kind of deserve each other.

Kate wasn't with Pete in these pictures taken at the wedding of Primal Scream star Bobbie Gillespie on 7/29. She seems to have brought a long-haired bearded guy as her date, or that might just be someone she's hanging out with at the party.

Update I just have to mention that this is the fourth time I've been able to use that "reunited" header picture! lol

Suri to be unveiled (when Tom feels like it)

MSNBC's The Scoop borrows our unoriginal observation by calling Suri the "Loch Ness Monster of celebrity babies."

The whereabouts of baby Suri has become so hotly debated that some wags are calling Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ child the Loch Ness Monster of the celeb world: some are claiming to have seen her, while others insist she's just a myth.

One rumor is that protective pop Top Gun is reluctant to trot out the child because he’s worried about kidnapping threats. His spokesman denies that buzz — and even denies that Cruise is “reluctant” to show Suri.

“He hasn’t been reluctant,” spokesman Arnold Robinson tells the Scoop. “They will be making a decision to release the photographs [of Suri] shortly.” Will the pics be released to a single or few media outlets, or will it be a general release? “That’s part of the decision they’ll be making shortly,” he said.

Yeah, they'll make that decision, uh, shortly. Just like they'll get married any day now. All those preparations at the Celebrity Scientology Center were indeed for a big party as we reported, and not for a supposed wedding or non-existent Suri's Scientology baptism. It was their 37th anniversary of brainwashing people, and John Travolta and Kelly Preston showed up, lest the Scientologists reveal their darkest secrets. TMZ has a video of Travolta dancing or something at the party, but it didn't load for me. I'm so dissapointed.

Penelope Cruz said she'd met Suri, but then totally backtracked and made a weird roundabout statement about how she didn't want to have to lie anymore.

It's important to keep living life as an observer and not just feel like you're being the thing observed because then you start looking at yourself from the outside instead of really alert...I forget people are looking at me in a situation like that, like yesterday."

Here are two guys who work at a radio station protesting outside a Scientology center in Portland. They're "demanding the Cruise baby." You really don't have to watch this, you get the point.

The best is their protest sign with Cuba Gooding Jr. saying "Show me the Baby!"

"Where are here, do si do, show us Suri then we'll go." "It's not fair, we all lose, please show us Suri Cruise"

They ask "Will we ever see the Polaroid of that little baby mongloid?" OMG That is so un-pc, I'm sorry, but it made me laugh.

Britney Spears asks which car is hers; is having a girl

Faded Youth scopes out X17's video of Britney shopping for toys and comes to the logical conclusion that she's having a baby girl this time around. She is seen looking at frilly girl's toys in the video. I was going to just report on the fact that Britney's having a girl, but then I found this awesome video taken on August 5th when she can't get into her car and has to ask the paparrazi if it's hers!

There must be a lot of black BMW SUVs in Britney's neighborhood.

Christina Aguilera's childhood abuse heartache

Christina Aguilera told USA Weekend magazine that she suffered from her father's abuse while her family was stationed on a military base. She says that domestic abuse is common on military bases in her experience. Starpulse runs the quote from the article with commentary that she's "attacking" military bases, but she seems to be speaking about her childhood and doesn't overgeneralize:

Speaking exclusively to USA Weekend magazine, Aguilera says, "We lived on Army bases when I was little, and it (domestic violence) was happening a lot. The MPs (military police) would come, but a lot of them were doing the same things (to their wives and kids). I was surrounded with domestic violence, not only in my home but my friends'."

Aguilera has never been one to shy away from the abuse she experienced as her mother and father fought and often writes about her memories in songs like "I'm OK" and new song "Oh Mother."

She adds, "It's therapeutic for me to talk about it. It gives me a reason to understand why I went through what I did."

That's too bad that Christina had to go through that as a child and it's good that she found a decent man like Jordan and didn't pick another creep like her dad. It's hard to take her seriously as a person, though, when it's rumored that she doesn't even look interviewers in the eye. Still, she should be commended for talking about her difficult childhood.

Here is Christina in a Robert Sebree Photoshoot (via Gossipin) and in Seventeen Magazine (from Hollywood's Best)

Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and George Clooney on the Oceans 13 set

Sky.co.uk had these new pictures taken on the set of Oceans 13. They're rather small, but still drool-worthy. Just thinking about Brad, Matt, and George on-screen again - even in the most unwatchable film - gets me all woosy. Sky says there's this mystery new person in the latest Oceans installment. I don't know why they're getting all worked up about it, though. Everyone knows that the new actress in Oceans 13 is Ellen Barkin, who inexplicably gets an on-screen fling with Matt Damon. How did she get so lucky? Her billionaire husband cheated on her and dumped her. (Sorry I'm so bitter! You go Ellen.)

Danny Ocean's gang is back (yes girls, Brad Pitt, George Clooney AND Matt Damon) ...

... And this time it's even bigger.

By one person.

But just who that extra person is remains a secret.

Could it be Catherine Zeta-Jones' character, Isabel, or Vincent Cassel's mastermind criminal, François Toulour, from the previous film?

We'd like to see Brad's squeeze, Angelina Jolie, join in...

But as the main Ocean boys are back out filming, it won't be long before they're joined by their new inductee.

Here are the pictures on set. The linked versions are low quality. As soon as higher resolution versions come out, I'll post them.

Paris Hilton lookalike in Playboy (NSFW)

Canadian Natalie Reid has perfected the vacant stare and flat affect of Paris Hilton, and one of the commentors on Oh No They Didn't! points out that she even has a wonky eye like Paris. Natalie's bad eye seems to be her right one, while Paris' lazy eye is her left, though. Natalie's jaw is also a bit wider, but the resemblance is uncanny. Reid says that she hung out once with Paris at her Hollywood home, and said that Paris was "totally in shock" to be face to face with her doppleganger.

It doesn't really matter if Paris refuses to do Playboy. We've all seen her goodies, and as Natalie shows she's pretty interchangeable.

Mischa's New Man, rugby star Mark Robinson (update: hairdresser)

People reports that Mischa Barton was seen out holding hands with a new guy in London recently, which may signify the end of her stormy relationshiop with Whitestarr frontman and all-around suspicious character Cisco Adler.

Mischa has hooked up with Rugby star Mark Robinson, also known as "Sharky" of the Northampton Saints. Robinson is from New Zealand so he's got to have the sexiest accent:

"The OC" beauty Mischa Barton is rumored to be dating rugby star Mark Robinson after the pair were caught kissing at a London hotspot last week.

The 20-year-old British-born actress had been dating rocker Cisco Adler but reportedly hooked up with the 30-year-old sportsman at a swanky bash in Windsor, England.

An onlooker at the party tells Britain's the News of the World, "Mark couldn't believe his luck. One minute they were standing there talking and the next they were all over each other in the corner of the tent. They were (kissing) and running their hands over each other's bodies. They didn't seem to care who saw."

A close friend of Robinson adds, "He's been smiling all week and has told pals but won't talk publicly."

As Mischa matures, so does her taste in men. Cisco seems like a decent guy, considering how he spoke candidly in her defense when Paris talked trash about her, but he doesn't seem like he's in Mischa's league.

There's also a report that Mischa snubbed British comic Russell Brand, who was briefly linked with Kate Moss. Brand tried to hit on Barton at a London club recently, but she wasn't having it.

Barton won't have much time to spend with her new sportsman this week. She flew into Australia on Sunday to help promote designer David Jones' summer collection.

Here is Mischa with Mark Robinson, and some photos of her at the airport in Sydney and at David Jones summer collection launch. The first two photos are small, and the rest are high resolution. [via]

Update: I'm not sure Mischa is shown with Mark Robinson, because the guy she's holding hands with doesn't look exactly like the pictures I've seen of the rugby player. She hooked up with Robinson according to sources, but whether that's the same guy in the photo with her is up to debate.

Update: The guy she's holding hands with is her gay hairdresser, but she did supposedly hook up with that
Kiwi rugby player. I work with the information I have at the time, people! It's like 6 hours later here, so I'm looking at the gossip at 2:00 AM EST. Sometimes it's fresh, most of the time it's green and not ripe enough to pick.

Joe Pesci's "Wise Guy" rap video

Joe Pesci made an hilarious rap video as his "Wise Guy" character back in 1998. His rapping is so bad it's good, and it's set to a looping sample from Blondie's "Rapture." The video features slap-happy Naomi Campbell and a blonde model who looks familiar.

This song comes from the album "Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just For You." The album also features songs capitalizing on his role in "My Cousin Vinny." Amazon.com has samples.

"Two supermodels, one on each arm. One chick's brunette, the other one's blonde. I heard their fathers had stocks and bonds, so I f'ed 'em up and left them floating in a pond."

Tori Spelling is the face of dog rescue

Poor Tori Spelling and her downtrodden husband, Dean McDermott. Whenever they go to events now they have to network hard so that they can get acting gigs on Lifetime. They look tired and miserable at this benefit for the Much Love animal rescue. Tori was honored for her work as "Much Love [Animal Resue's] most dedicated famous face." That joke just wrote itself!

She also adopted two "Much Love" rescue dogs. Aww. She doesn't look pregnant in this dress, as is the rumor now that she's registered for a bunch of posh baby stuff. Her stomach's showing and it's hardly puffing out.

Tori is so poor now that she can't afford to get her roots dyed.

Justin and Cameron buy Hawaiian estate (update: false)

Justin Timberlake might not get away from Cameron Diaz so easily. There's a report that Cameron and Justin have bought a $24 million Hawaiian estate together:

Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake have reportedly splashed out $24 million on a Hawaiian holiday home.

The couple were pictured frolicking in the sea while on holiday in Kailua last week and it seems the pair had such a good time they have decided to invest in a property.

Justin and Cameron, both who are avid surfers, spent the whopping sum on a beachfront estate.

Buyer's agent Joan Graham, of Coldwell Banker, is refusing to confirm if the couple bought the holiday home due to a strict confidentiality agreement, however local media have confirmed the sale.

The millions bought the couple 15,000 sq. feet feet of living space, tennis courts along with a sauna, tropical pool and staff quarters.

Justin is said to have wanted time off from his three-year relationship with Cameron, and it was rumored that they broke up in late June. He was even said to be dating 23 year-old Lauren Popeil.

Cameron and Justin were seen vacationing together in Hawaii at the end of July, with Cameron hanging all over him, and Justin looking like he would rather be anywhere else. We doubt this is going to last, even if Cameron can convince Justin that a really expensive house is just the thing they need.

Update: Reader Jean saw on E! News that this was a false rumor. Sorry for the misinformation!

Woody Allen's Nanny says Colin Farrell sucks in bed

Woody Allen's French nanny was summoned to Colin Farrell's hotel room for some awkward quickies before the London premiere of "Miami Vice." She says he's got a small dick and that he really sucks in bed. He made love to her three times in just an hour and a half. He invited her to the premiere and after party, but she left once she saw that he was getting cosy with Gong Li:

"I gave him my number and just 15 minutes later he sent me a text saying, 'What are u doin over the next couple of hours? I'm just gonna go back to the hotel and take it easy... wanna come by in a bit, we can play?'

"Moments later he kissed me hard on the mouth, grabbed me and threw me on to the bed. He tore at my clothes and kept saying how beautiful I was. When I was naked, he ran his eyes up and down my body, gasping with pleasure." The couple made love on the bed, against the bathroom wall and in the shower.

Angelique said: "He was enthusiastic and athletic. He was so keen to have me, he didn't want to wear any protection. He just said, 'It'll be OK, it'll be OK'. But for all his ardour, it was like he was reading from a text book, lurching from one position to another. He loved it when I climbed on top. He was cooing, 'C'est bon, c'est bon'. It's clearly the only French he knows.

"We made love three times but the actual sex only lasted 10 minutes in total. At one point he lifted me up and carried me to one side of the bed so we were both looking in his full-ength mirror. He said, 'Look how beautiful you are'.

"To be fair, he did try and give me pleasure, kissing me all down my body - but his heart wasn't really in it. I kept having to fake orgasms - one, two, three - to keep him happy and let him keep his dignity. It seemed the polite thing to do."

Despite Colin's bad-boy reputation - the Dublin-born actor once told Playboy magazine: "I've always been a firm believer that casual sex is a good thing" - Angelique says he seemed nervous, clumsy and unsure.

"He must have told me I was beautiful eight times, or more. And he was always looking me in the eye. I found that rather off-putting, as if I were some kind of school project. It was too clinical. He didn't at all come across as a sex god who had slept with countless woman. If I didn't know better, I could almost have thought it was his first time...

"He kept saying 'C'est bon (it's good), you're beautiful, c'est bon'. He sounded like James Blunt.

"Once he'd got what he fancied - in about 10 seconds flat - he just wanted to go to sleep."

The best part is that she compared him to James Blunt. That's so nasty that Colin didn't wear protection!

I would like confirmation that he's poorly endowed, though. Has anyone seen Colin's sex video? He's all covered up in the screencaps. (NSFW)

It sounds like this woman is bitter than Colin didn't contact her again and hooked up with Gong Li instead. I believe her, though. Colin sounds like a teenager with no staying power. Maybe he'll be embarassed enough by this story to use a condom and some manners next time.

Here are some candids of Colin taken on 8/3. [via]

Frances Bean Cobain in her late dad's clothing

Frances Bean Cobain wore her late dad Kurt's clothing to an Elle photoshoot that featured rock and roll children in their parent's attire. She donned the pajama pants he wore when he married crazy Courtney and his trademark brown floppy cardigan:

Frances Bean Cobain stunned photographers on a new Elle magazine photo shoot when she turned up wearing her late father Kurt Cobain's old pajamas.

The shoot featured celebrity offspring wearing the clothes of their rock 'n' roll parents -- with Kimberly and Ruby Stewart sporting old lumberjack coats belonging to their dad Rod, and Midge Ure's daughter Molly Lorenne modeling the coat her father wore in the Ultravox video for "Vienna."

But 14-year-old Cobain's apparel, first worn by the tragic Nirvana frontman on his wedding day to Courtney Love, was a more bizarre choice.

She says, "He got married to my mom in them in Hawaii in 1992 so I thought it'd be cute if I wore them today."

That's really touching. I remember when I heard that Kurt Cobain committed suicide, and I was just about to graduate from college. (Yes, I'm old!) We all listened to Nirvana back then and it was such a big deal when Kurt died.

14 year-old Frances seems to be doing well considering she lost her father and her mom has been in and out of rehab. In the interview she says that she enjoys acting and photography, but is really focused on school and wants to "enhance her social life." Her dream is to become a movie director.

Her mom Courtney Love may be cleaned up now, but she's not looking good.

Is Gwyneth Paltrow considering lipo?

Britain's The Mirror is reporting that Gwyenth Paltrow wants plastic surgery to repair her post-baby figure. They claim that she had a talk with friends in which she admitted to not being pleased with her body and asking about surgical options. While I think comparison photographs make it clear that Gwyneth has had plastic surgery on her face, including a nose job and eye lift, I doubt this conversation ever took place. I've caught the British tabloids making up shit wholesale (and I'm sure the American rags do it too, the Brits are just more obvious) and this sounds like a fabricated story:

The mum-of-two and wife of COLDPLAY’s CHRIS MARTIN told a group of old American friends who were visiting London last week: “My stomach is rippling, my breasts don’t feel good. I’ve been trying to work out. I want to do something about it.”

Then she quizzed one of them about surgery while they were lunching at North London’s trendy Lord Stanley pub.

And, in true American style, her chum recommended she have the op in New York so she wouldn’t be pictured going to hospital.

Gwyneth, who gave birth to son Moses by caesarean in April, also confessed she wasn’t sure about having any more children.

She told her friends she loved being a mum. But when they asked if she planned to have more children she replied: “I don’t think so.”

The article goes on to say that Gwyneth confessed that her two year-old daughter, Apple, is jealous of newborn Moses.

It's possible that one of her friends blabbed about the conversation or that a waiter overheard them, but I think that the Mirror knew that Gwyneth dined with American friends at a particular restaurant and filled in the details. She looks great, but she's not as thin as she normally is and guessing that she's not happy with her body isn't that much of a stretch.

Here are recent pictures of Gwyneth that I read were taken outside of a London gym. Hot Momma Drama asks if she could be pregnant, but it just looks like she's wearing an unflattering top.

Britney back to trashy norm

Britney cleaned up and wore flattering clothing when she was in Vegas last week to support K-Fed's supposed music career. This weekend she was spotted out shopping with her family while wearing a long printed dress that was somewhat classy-looking. She even had manny Perry in tow, suggesting he was the influence behind her cleaned-up image yet again.

That seems to have been short-lived, however, as Britney was seen out the next day wearing weird low-riding plaid shorts and a too-tight top that exposed her pregnant belly.

X17Online says that Britney was wearing a bathing suit underneath her top, which explains why her boobs look split down the middle. Regardless she's back to the same 'ol Britney, at least for a day.

I watched a show on the paparrazi on German TV this weekend. It focused on British paparrazi, and the lengths they go to get an exclusive shot. The pictures that really sell are of celebrities looking like shit with pimples, no makeup, and bad hair. They said that Victoria Beckham is never caught out without makeup on. Britney should take a lesson from Posh and try to be consistent with her cleaned-up look. Maybe that's why Britney is photographed so much, though. She does make people feel a lot better about themselves.

The thing is, Britney probably thinks this outfit looks good. I mean look at what she wore for her primetime TV interview.

Here are pictures of Britney out on August 4th and 5th. What a difference a day makes. [via]

Jenna Jameson and her wax replica at Madame Tussauds

Jenna Jameson's wax replica was unveiled at the Las Vegas branch of Madame Tussauds last week. She is the first adult film star immortalized in wax. The wax version of fan favorite Jenna will "whisper sexy messages" when you rub her tattoos.

The statue of Jameson, 32, shows her wearing next to nothing, while kneeling on a bearskin rug.

Visitors who touch her tattoos will hear the statue whisper sexy messages.

Jameson says after her wax likeness is unveiled, "This is an awesome honor... especially since I'm making history as the first personality from the adult world to have an attraction at Madame Tussauds, and it is happening in Las Vegas, my hometown."

Jameson introduced the life-sized statue at a special ceremony. It is shown wearing a "Jenna" black leather belt with her name written in rhinestones.

She says to the New York Post, "It looks so real."

Visitors can take photographs with the wax Jameson. She is displayed next to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

It's appropriate that Jameson's wax version is shown next to Hugh Hefner. Playboy enterprises bought her "Club Jenna" business for an undisclosed amount in June, 2006.

Jenna Jameson's husband, adult film producer Jay Grdina, is accused of assault on a strip club dancer. The woman claims she was doing a table dance for him on July 22nd when he grabbed her hair and pushed her down. Dennis Rodman was hanging out with Grdina at the club at the time, but is not said to be involved in the incident. Grdina denies the charges.

Here is Jenna and her wax version. [via]

Ludacris went to the prom with a disabled fan

Ludacris recently got rid of his trademark braids to prepare for the release of his new, more mature album. He says that people don't really know who he is as a person and that his music now reflects his more serious concerns:

“This album that’s coming out is so different than all the record material that I’ve recorded over the past four albums that I needed to complement the new sound with a new look,” Bridges said by phone from Los Angeles.

Bridges says the album, “Release Therapy,” is a clear departure that tackles more serious issues like the government and its response to Hurricane Katrina, being a father to his daughter, Karma, and his relationship with God.

“It’s a lot of things that I’m speaking on that I’ve never talked about,” he says. “I felt like people knew who Ludacris was, but people never knew who Chris Bridges was.”

Ludacris has been known for his comedic style, and this is a departure for him. He is also making a name for himself as an actor with roles in "Crash" and "Hustle and Flow."

Now Ludacris is showing how mature and kind he really is. Hewent to the prom with a young fan who is wheelchair-bound:

Big-hearted LUDACRIS thrilled a wheelchair-bound fan when he offered to take her to the prom. The teenager wrote to the rapper begging him to be her date for her school prom, and the CRASH star stunned her by accepting. He says, "She wrote in a letter saying she was my biggest fan and that she wanted to go the prom. I looked on my schedule and I found out that I was free on that day." Ludacris made only one condition - that his night out at the prom wasn't turned into a publicity stunt, just a chance for him to spend a little quality time with a fan.

These quotes make it seem like it's coming up, but prom season was a few months ago, so I did a little research and found out that this happened in 2004. The news must be resurfacing now because of a recent interview. Whatever the reason, that was quite kind of Ludacris and it doesn't seem like he did it for the recognition. It turns out Ludacris has a whole charitable foundation (site has automatic music) that's dedicated to helping young people achieve their dreams.

I have an auto-immune disorder like MS and have to use a wheelchair when I'm having a bad relapse. It's a very humbling experience and people do stare at you as if you don't exist and can't see them. Others look away right away as if it's too painful for them to have to think about a young person who's disabled. (The best way to deal with someone in a wheelchair is just to look if you're curious, but not stare. If you catch someone's eye, smile at them. Don't pity someone just because they have a disability.)

I'm really lucky because most of the time I can get around fine and even exercise, and I've only been sick for a few years. I would never suggest that needing a wheelchair for periods of time is the same as needing one permanently, but If I had this when I was in high school, I totally would have tried to get Matt Damon to take me to the prom. Is that dishonest?

Here is Ludacris with his new look at KUBE 93's Summer Jam on 7/29, courtesy of Cake and Ice Cream.
