Zooey Deshanel to play Janis Joplin in new biopic

Cutie Zooey Deshanel has bested Pink, Lohan, Britney Spears and Scarlet Johansson to land the role of Janis Joplin in an upcoming movie about the singer's ill-fated life, "The Gospel According to Janis":

ZOOEY DESCHANEL has beaten LINDSAY LOHAN, BRITNEY SPEARS and SCARLETT JOHANSSON to the coveted role of JANIS JOPLIN in the forthcoming movie biopic of the tragic singer. Pop punk PINK was originally director PENELOPE SPHEERIS' first choice to play the late rocker, but pulled out, blaming the movie's producers for turning the casting process into "some circus pop contest - who's the 'it' girl who wants to play Janis". However, ALMOST FAMOUS beauty Deschanel, 26, has signed to play Joplin in THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JANIS, which starts filming in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in November (06). PIECE OF MY HEART hitmaker Joplin died of an heroin and alcohol overdose in a Hollywood hotel room in October 1970 at the age of 27.

Deshanel is known for supporting roles in "Almost Famous" in 2000 and "Failure to Launch" in 2006. She bears more than a passing resemblance to Janis and it will be interesting to see how good the film is and how well she pulls off the role.

That's great news and it should be a big boost to her career. According to IMDB, she has four movies in the can that come out next year, is filming another, and is announced to be in three more. We're going to see a lot more of her in the near future.

Here is Zooey with Michele Trachtenberg at a Lucky magazine party on 8/10. They're legally required to pay taxes on that swag now. [via]

Lindsay Lohan supposedly cleaned up her act

The NY Daily News reports that Lindsay Lohan has been showing up to work on time and has cleaned up her act since receiving that scathing letter from the CEO of the production company running the film she's starring in, "Georgia Rule":

Pals of Lindsay Lohan have noticed a change come over the firecracker actress in recent weeks.

"She's heard everyone and is cleaning up her act," says a friend.

"Lindsay is really taking it easy these days. ... she is focused on work and [boyfriend] Harry [Morton]."

Lohan's love of the nightlife has kept her in the gossip pages. But she was stung by a recent letter from the producer of her new film, "Georgia Rule," slamming her hard partying and lax work practices.

"It was a turning point," says the friend. "She realized it was a matter of either stepping up or stepping down.

"Lindsay took this seriously; she takes her career seriously. She has been going home early every night and [arriving] at work on time since the letter."

Someone close to Lindsay called the Daily News and planted this story. She needs to do serious damage control after everyone saw firsthand how she lives in messy luxurious, drunken squalor and parties with her mom.

This could be true though. There seem to be less pictures of Lindsay out and about. She's staying in surrounded by thousands of dollars worth of scattered fashion and snorting coke with her mom at night.

Here is Lohan on a a photoshoot for In Style magazine in Hollywood. Found at France-vidcaps.org via JJB.

Why Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson really broke up: orgies and threesomes

Kate Hudson is now said to be riding the Buttersotch stallion, her co-star Owen Wilson, which people speculate hastened the end of her marriage to Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson. Kate also made many comments suggesting that Chris was unfaithful on tour, but as long as she didn't know about it she wouldn't worry. It turns out that it's worse than that. The PopBitch e-mail newsletter claims that Chris got Kate involved in orgies and she wasn't into it:

Speculation surrounding the end of Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson's marriage seems to be focusing on her close friendship with Owen Wilson. But there were longer-term issues. Like many rocks singers, Chris is fond of group sex and threesomes while on tour, and Black Crowes insiders had often seen Chris and Kate heading to their hotel with a keen groupie or fan in tow. But by the end of the last tour Kate was said to be tagging along like a turkey on its way to Christmas lunch.

If that's true she probably doesn't mind a little friendly tossed salad with Owen as long as he has eyes only for her.

That's sad and goes to show that it really doesn't matter how hot, rich or sweet someone is if their partner wants to cheat.

My husband and I have a theory, though, that only unattractive and/or overweight people are swingers. We saw a German "documentary" on swingers and most of them were butt ugly. This blows that theory completely out of the water.

Here is Kate Hudson in August's Allure magazine. [via]

Pete and Repeat got in a boat. Pete got busted for drugs and who was left?

The implant in Pete Doherty's stomach and the love of a skinny stupid supermodel couldn't reform him no matter how much the world was rooting for his sobreity. He's been arrested for drug posession more times than I can count:

LONDON - Pete Doherty was charged Thursday with seven counts of possessing drugs including cocaine and diamorphine, police said.

Doherty was in police custody and would appear in court Friday, the Metropolitan Police said. The 27-year-old Babyshambles singer has a string of previous drug arrests.

The latest charges come after he was stopped by police in a London street last week on suspicion of drug possession. The charges relate to that arrest and two other incidents earlier this year.

Oh that explains it! He was stopped last week and found with drugs. Now that he's back with Kate and has that drug impant we don't have to worry about him any more. Now if only he can clean up up that silly legal mess he can clear the way for their secret wedding in Ibiza this weekend.

Yanni's a perv with a huge sex toy collection, but he's organized!

Elevator music performer Yanni, master of the pan flute, has a huge collection of sex toys which he delights in organizing by size, color, and penetration level. His ex-girlfriend says he cleans his vibrators, dildos, and butt plugs excessively. She also claims he takes a lot of Viagra and is a sex addict:

Greek musician YANNI has a wacky sex toy collection that he organises by size and colour and obsessively cleans, according to his ex-girlfriend. Bolivian brunette SILVIA BARTHES, who filed assault charges against the new age star earlier this year (06), has gone public with the secrets of her sex-fuelled fling with Yanni. She claims the beloved musician is a Viagra-guzzling sex addict, who uses toys to spice up his bedroom activities. Speaking to America's Globe publication, Barthes claims Yanni, real name YANNI CHRYSSOMALLIS, would ask her to pick out sex toys for him at his favourite Miami, Florida boutiques. She says, "He would give me $300 worth of $50 bills and say, 'Bring me candy for my eyes - surprise me.' "He organises all the toys by size and colour, and he is always cleaning them." Barthes also tells the publication that the Greek star also persuaded her to wear sexy clothes, like French maid outfits and black Latex gloves. Charges that Barthes brought against Yanni in March (06) were dropped due to lack of evidence.

This same woman claimed Yanni hit her in March of this year, while he said he just grabbed her arm. Yanni spent a day in jail after the incident but all charges against him were dropped. Maybe he was just pissed off because she didn't bring him back enough sex toys for his collection. His music is so boring, he's got to spice up his life somehow.

Halle Berry doesn't look pregnant anymore

Everyone was saying that Halle Berry looked pregnant after those pictures came out of her in a loose dress with what looked like a baby bump. Just like Reese Witherspoon, she appears to be the victim of bloat, fashion and the wind, because these latest candids show her in a tight top and jeans with no bump whatsoever.

She made it clear in recent interviews that she wanted a kid before she was 40, and her 40th birthday was on Monday. She also said she is interested in adoption, and that “I will adopt if it doesn’t happen for me naturally.”

Here she is not looking pregnant at all while out shopping with her boyfriend, Versace model Gabriel Aubrey, 30. I like how he grabs her ass while she's walking up the stairs.

These are said to be from 8/16 and were found at Hollywood's Best.

The end of swag!

Award shows like The Oscars and The Emmys are going to have trouble getting celebrities to accept their swag bags. The IRS is reminding everyone that all the crap they receive, typically worth $50,000 and up, is subject to taxation. Presenters at next week's Emmy awards have to sign a statement acknowledging that they accept tax responsibility for all the gifts they receive. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also said there will be no more skyrocketing swag bags for Oscar presenters! Oh no!

The Internal Revenue Service launched a campaign Thursday aimed at clarifying the tax consequences of the gift-jammed goody bags and luxury giveaway suites that surround awards ceremonies and film festivals. The bad news for every A-lister and low-level minion alike who ever pockets a freebie: It's taxable income.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in a related announcement, said it would eliminate the luxurious gift baskets it customarily offers to Oscar presenters such as Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks and Will Ferrell, starting with next year's show.

Without specifying whether any money changed hands, the academy and the IRS also said they have settled any tax obligations presenters may have owed the government from gift baskets received through 2005. Recipients of the Oscar gift baskets in this year's ceremony will soon receive a tax form from the academy detailing the fair market value of its contents.

It goes beyond the Oscars. Next week, an array of Emmy-timed swag suites are scheduled to open for business ahead of the Aug. 27 awards show. The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said it has also informed this year's Emmy presenters (among them Heidi Klum, James Gandolfini and Eva Longoria) that their gift bags are taxable, but would not say whether it planned on eliminating the bags altogether.

Gift bags and swag suites have exploded in recent years, as clothing companies, hotels, cellphone manufacturers and the makers of seemingly every imaginable kind of consumer goods (chocolates, lingerie, cufflinks, sunglasses, luggage, etc.) dole out items to celebrities in the hopes of garnering free advertising when those celebrities are photographed wearing those shoes or chatting into that cellphone.

So that's why George Cooney donated his presenter gift bag. The IRS had already announced that Oscar gifts were taxable at that point, it just hadn't received much press. You're going to see a lot more press releases about celebrities donating their spa stays and luxury goods to charity, except you'll know it's not so selfless. What's Life and Style to do now that they can't market a bunch of expensive products to laypeople that celebrities get for free? Those poor luxury goos manufacturers will have to find another marketing strategy.

This affects much more than just award shows, because companies often sponsor parties for celebrities, hoping to get pictures of them posing with the free stuff. Spa suites are set up before The Oscars to get celebrities "prepared" to market more crap. Hopefully the IRS will crack down on that practice, too. What will happen to Sundance? Will celebrities stop showing up to so many events? How will celebrities cope with having to buy their own stuff? Will divas get a little more humble?

Pamela Anderson barefoot and pregnant

Pamela Anderson has made it clear that she wants to have more kids. Now that she's married to Kid Rock, she's even dropped hints that they're either trying or that she's already pregnant. When asked after the wedding by Ryan Seacrest if she wanted kids, she said "You never know there might be one in there now."

It looks like there is one in there - check out how her stomach is poking out. She even forgot to wear shoes, which may be a secret signal to the paparrazi that she's barefoot and pregnant.

Pam has two children by her ex, rocker Tommy Lee, Dylan, 8 and Brandon, 10. Kid Rock has a son, Robert James Ritchie Jr., 13, with a Detroit auto worker.

Pam is seen outside a veterinarian's office, but where's her pet? Check out the LA chick in the background with the bemused look.

Pictures found at Hollywoods Best, and taken by X17, who pointed out the bump.

Aniston swears she's not engaged, but she was for like 5 minutes

Jennifer Aniston swears up and down that she's not engaged to Vince Vaughn. Us Weekly stands by its story that she is engaged and cites a bunch of stories that celebrities denied but ended up being true. The first commentor notes that it's pretty convenient selective reasoning on their part. Of course there are hits and misses in the messy, often-fabricated world of celebrity gossip.

Perez Hilton claims to know from an insider that Aniston was actually engaged to Vaughn and that US was right, but now she's totally dumped while Vaughn is partying in Vegas and hitting on chicks. That sounds like a plausible explanation for Aniston's vehement denial:

Sources tell PerezHilton.com that Vaughn in early July told several friends - including Owen Wilson - about his proposal on the plane after returning from Mexico.

In her new People interview, Jen never even acknowledges that she is still dating Vince.

"We're just being," she tells the mag of her and Vaughn.

According to our moles, Vaughn was in Vegas this past weekend, and Maniston was nowhere to be found! Trouble in Paradise? Hell to the fucking yeah!

Sources close to the situation tell us that that Jen - who has a history of lying to her fans - is also covering something up this time; specifically, that after their engagement on June 27th something has gone horribly wrong with Vaughniston!!

Tabloids have reported for the last two weeks that there is major trouble with Jen and Vince. Now her denial to People today (and what sources are telling PerezHilton.com) suggests there is truth to these reports that the engagement has been CALLED OFF...

According to several people close to the situation, Maniston is humiliated at another failed relationship and is doing damage control ASAP!

Sources also tell PerezHilton.com that no other than Stephen Huvane sat in on the phone call between Jen and People today, controlling what they could use and couldn't use.

Vaughn spent last weekend partying in Vegas at Mandalay Bay, getting drunk and flirting with girls...just like old times. And Jen stayed back ALONE in Malibu all weekend!

Maniston seems way too emotional and emphatic about denying that she is getting married, telling People, "I mean, it couldn't be more of a 'No.'"

Thou doth protest too much!!

There you go. It looks like everyone is right, Us and Aniston. Is it surprising that Vaughn and Aniston broke up? They didn't even want to be photographed together.

Here is Aniston running into Kate Hudson at the airport and giving her some bad divorce advice. [via]

Britney says her second baby "wasn't planned" - of course not

Britney shows that maternity wear is hard to shop for by wearing the same red striped shorts out again in a visit to the studio with Sean Preston and cute manny Perry in tow yesterday. You think she could mail order if she doesn't want to go through the trouble of trying stuff on.

She said recently that her second child wasn't planned, but considering how K-Fed gets paid extra in the prenup for every kid he fathers you know that at least one of them was planning on getting her pregnant again:

Britney Spears, expecting baby No. 2, says she and husband Kevin Federline didn't plan the pregnancy. "It just kind of happened," the 24-year-old singer reveals in an interview in the latest issue of People magazine, on newsstands Friday. ADVERTISEMENT

She adds, laughing: "I'm going to wait a while for the next (one)!"

At eight months pregnant, Spears is mom to 11-month old son Sean Preston, the couple's first child. "I feel like I've been pregnant for 10 years!" she says.

Having back-to-back babies can be stressful, she says, but she adhere's to her mom's advice to take it "one day at a time."

"It is now starting to get a little tiring, holding (Sean Preston), but the whole pregnancy I've done it a lot because he's very attached," she tells the magazine. "It makes me feel needed and wanted, so I like it too."

Spears says she and Federline, 28, don't know the gender of their baby-to-be. The little one and its big brother "are going to be so close together, it's going to be weird. But I love it," she says.

She also said in the interview that she has a lot of pregnancy cravings and that she'll melt an entire big Hershey's bar in the microwave and eat it in the middle of the night. When I was pregnant I still tried to eat right. I mean ice cream once in a while is ok, but if you're using the microwave in order to inject more calories that's really dangerous. Jared Leto gained all that weight to play Lennon's killer by melting down Haagen Das ice cream and drinking it. Yuck.

K-Fed said that once the baby is born Britney is someone going to change her terrible habits and get skinny so that he can release his album featuring her famous vocals. He also said that Britney played "games" with him when they first started going out to see if he was just in it for the money.

"She was playing games, testing me to see where my head is at, see if she could get away with this or that," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

As for the couple’s future plans, well K-Fed is sure that once their second child is born, and Spears regains her slim figure, the two were going to set the music industry on fire with the duet they have recorded.

"After she has the baby and gets skinny, we're gonna hit 'em with this s**t!" he added.

That's smart of K-Fed to take advantage of Britney for her talent as well as her money. He might not be talented at music, but he sure has healthy sperm.

Lindsay Lohan and a pile 'o coke

Here's poor little rich whore Lindsay Lohan on sitting on a mattress at the Chateau Marmot surrounded by luxury goods while sipping on a bottle of Jack Daniels and wearing a fur coat. There's even a pile 'o coke and a little silver spoon visible in the background. Pictures are, obviously, from Perez Hilton.

At least Lindsay does her fur-wearing behind doors.

These aren't too scandalous, considering that Lindsay was photographed with a bong in the background in photos that came out a few months ago.

The Sun claims that Lindsay wasdenied VIP tickets to an upcoming Justin Timberlake concert because it's feared she'll get wasted and make a spectacle of herself. I would say I doubt that's true, but given these pictures I'm more apt to believe it.

Richie Sambora wants to dump Denise and get back with Heather

A new article in Life and Style claims that as Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear's high-profile divorce is close to reaching a settlement, Richie is having second thoughts and realizes how much he loves his wife of 11 years. He even sent a $500 pink and red rose bouquet to Heather.

The report details that with his divorce from Heather nearly final; Richie is having a change of heart. An insider tells the weekly magazine Life & Style that while Richie’s girlfriend, Denise Richards, was in Hawaii; Richie had two “incredibly emotional” phone conversations with Heather.

“He’s realizing its ending and doesn’t want it to,” the insider tells L&S. “He’s still in love with her.”

So what do men in love an in trouble do at times like this? Send flowers - or in Richie's case - a lot of flowers. The report claims that on Aug. 10, the insider says Richie sent Heather a massive $500 bouquet of red and pink roses.

Wow. He must realize what he's missing with Heather. Sambora was said to be totally surprised to be served divorce papers this February and even denied to the press that he and Heather were split. Maybe he's not ready to let go.

If that's true, it's got to piss off his media-whore girlfriend, Denise Richards. Denise recently reached an amicable "interim" settlement with her ex, Charlie Sheen, who she famously skewered in the press on the eve of his children's clothing line launch. Denise didn't renew a restraining order against Sheen and according to their lawyers they're getting along.

Denise and Richie were said to be planning a wedding for early next year, and Denise was seen wearing what looked like an engagement ring. She followed Richie to Europe while he was touring with Bon Jovi and seemed really needy in the relationship. If this is true then he's obviously sick of her. Men don't usually like women who hang all over them.

Christina Aguilera fights for her pop star rights

Hey, does Christina Aguilera have a new album out? She seems to be everywhere lately. The NY Times says that "Back to Basics," Aguilera's new double album, is half-good half-bad. The lyrics reveal XTina's fight to stay at the top and are an attempt explain to the world why she looks like a blowup doll and is such a pain in the ass:

There’s nothing unreasonable about these demands. You might even say that for someone like Ms. Aguilera these aren’t rights at all: they’re responsibilities. If she’s a fighter, it’s because she’s fighting for the right to be what she already is: a pop star. She’s demanding that she be allowed to do her job.

This demand is the main theme of “Back to Basics,” a double CD that contains a roughly even number of great songs and lousy ones. The first disc is full of rationales, ranging from the self-referential (“I’m going back to basics,” she sings, in the introduction) to the paradoxical (“I pay no mind/To the negative kind,” she claims). Perhaps this is the weird but (in hindsight) predictable result of our hyper-tabloid culture. In print, online, on television, celebrities are constantly being asked to explain themselves. So we shouldn’t be surprised when they comply.

The second disc, largely written with Linda Perry, ends with a couple of songs clearly meant as odes to Ms. Aguilera’s husband, Jordan Bratman. But even these literal-minded love songs seem like explanations: having told us how much she has changed, the singer now wants to tell us why. “Never felt like I needed any man,” she wails, in the beyond-bombastic finale, “The Right Man.” But she’s not really addressing her husband; she’s addressing listeners who are confused about all the mushy stuff. Even when she’s singing a love song, Ms. Aguilera sounds a bit defensive.

In this interview on Good Morning America yesterday, XTina tells the same old childhood abuse story as if she's practiced it for ages. She seems genuinely excited about her new album and how she craftily copped it off the jazz greats of the 30s and 40s, though. Somewhere underneath all that arrogance and makeup she really does love music.

She also reveals that she gave Britney a basket of gender neutral baby gifts when she heard she was pregnant, and that Britney sent her a crystal vase and a crystal drink bucket as a wedding present.

Thanks to ONTD for the video link. Also thanks to readers Karen and Jess for letting me know that I fell for Aguilera's sob story in an earlier article I posted about it.

Here is Aguilera leaving the Koko club on an unknown date in a see-through dress. I think I've seen these before, but maybe that was a different sheer black dress. Even totally wasted, Aguilera manages to keep her lipstick and makeup perfectly applied. Maybe one of her minions helps her with that. [via]

Mel Gibson is relaxing at home and not in rehab at all

Mel Gibson might have sought treatment in an inpatient facility and checked out, he might be getting some sort of addiction therapy as his publicist claims, or maybe he's just laying low and hoping this whole mess will blow over. Whatever Mel is doing, he's not in rehab:

After his traumatic arrest, and anti semitic outburst recently, Mel Gibson piously promised to get help - but THE ENQUIRER has learned that the long-time alcoholic has NOT checked into rehab, he's at home. The former Oscar winner is refusing to enter a traditional rehab, and is instead trying to gain a hold of his problem via outpatient therapy. According to his publicists' assistant Veronica Pinto, regarding treatment, Mel is in an 'ongoing program of recovery. That's it.'

Many question Mel's seriousness regarding recovery since he is apparently yet to seek intensive therapy for what seems to be a major problem.

Mel doesn't care. Maybe he didn't go to rehab because the philosophy of recovery contradicted his freaky cult religion. It could be possible that he figures his career is over anyway and just doesn't give a shit.

Have you seen the best Mel Gibson political cartoons we posted? They're priceless. I hope one of the artists now tackles Mel's lack of commitment to rehab.

Here are some of the pictures from Mel's famous night out that you've already seen.

Courteney Cox says Jennifer Aniston is not engaged

Courteney Cox says that Jennifer Aniston is a great friend that she can rely on in a crisis:

She told People magazine: "There are a few people that I would go to. But I would definitely say my mother and Jennifer are two."

Cox recently revealed that she had some trouble in her marriage to funnyman David Arquette and that they wisely sought counseling to straighten it out.

She also adamantly denies that Aniston is engaged to Vaughn:

Us Weekly magazine printed the story about the couple's mid-air engagement last week, but Aniston's former Friends co-star has told rival Life & Style magazine the reports are untrue.

Asked at a charity event yesterday if Aniston was planning to become Mrs. Vaughn, Cox said, "No, she's not."

I bet Vaughn and Aniston are broken up already. Either that or they're fighting constantly. Neither of them look happy together in the rare paparrazi photos that come out.

Star reports that Aniston and Vaughn are having trouble because Aniston doesn't want kids, but that's probably just speculation.

Here's some pictures of sourpuss Aniston sunbathing on her deck. [via]

Charlize Theron's pokies

Britain's The Independent has a thoughtful article about Charlize Theron's career. They say that there will always be younger, prettier actresses in Hollywood and that Charlize really hasn't hit it big despite winning an Oscar and scoring more serious roles. She's stuck in between sweet young things like Scarlet Johansson and more seasoned actresses like Nicole Kidman:

People said her world would change. Now, she would be taken seriously. Now she was ready for a great run of homely, overweight women of about 30 who have movies made of their lives. I'm kidding - we don't do films like that. Charlize hurried back into shape. She was Britt Ekland (and very good, too) in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. She did Head in the Clouds (which I challenge you to remember), and she found an intriguing role - playing a striking worker in North Country, a film about the working class, labour disputes and women with ideals. She was nominated this year for another Oscar but no one went to see the film.

She then did the awful Aeon Flux. She appeared on television as "Rita" in a few episodes of Arrested Development. And there's going to be a film called The Brazilian Job in which she plays the girl from The Italian Job. In other words, Theron has done nothing done since Monster to help her in mapping out a future. The world has not learned how to want Charlize Theron looking like hell. It likes her gorgeous, and yet it can see that Scarlett Johansson is younger (and always will be).

Somehow or other, Theron has to do something similar to Nicole Kidman's achievement after the latter's marriage to Tom Cruise ended. She has to seize parts that say, I chose these, I found them, I told them I could do it, and look, it works. What that means is that she has to go find the parts, know how to secure them and make her will felt strongly enough that they turn out unusual and good films. That so many actresses do ordinary work is testament to how tough that challenge is. Most of them do what they can get and spin it out until 40, if they're lucky.

The Independent is nitpicking Theron's career. She's achieved a level of success that everyone else only dreams about. She'll reach Kidman's status. In fact she's almost there now.

So let's move on to these recent pictures of Theron forgetting to wear a bra when she's out with her mom. [via] If The Independent is right and she hasn't yet found her niche, do you think she's trying to tell us something by going out like that? Also, isn't it curious that she holds her coat in her left hand, covering her ring finger, while holding her mom's hand with her right?

High res Lohan sideboob pics

Lindsay Lohan claims that "Sex and the City" is the inspiration for her sluttiness, and that if 2 out of 4 fictional characters on a cable show can sleep around, she can too:

Lindsay Lohan has hailed seminal sitcom Sex And The City for inspiring her dating philosophy. Even though Lohan was only 12 years old when the Sarah Jessica Parker-starring comedy started, the star admits she loves having open and casual relationships with men, like "Sex And The City" characters Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbs, Samantha Jones and Charlotte York.

She says, "Sex And The City changed everything for me, because those girls would just sleep with so many people."

Did she really say this? That's fucking crazy. Those are women on a cable show, not real people. Granted this was probably taken out of context, but WTF?

Lohan admits to having a double standard with the men she dates, and said some crap about how she can sleep around but they can't.

The girl needs to wear a bra and stay in and watch some documentaries. No fiction films, because she'll use anything she sees on screen to justify her outrageous lifestyle.

Kate Moss and Pete Doherty plan secret wedding this weekend

Along with probably jumping the gun on the Victoria Beckham pregnancy news, Britain's Daily Star also claims to have an exclusive that Kate Moss, 32, and Pete Doherty, 27, are planning a semi-secret wedding in Ibiza this weekend:

THEY’RE trying to keep everyone guessing. But we can reveal that Kate Moss and Pete Doherty plan to tie the knot on Ibiza this weekend..

The couple – who have been dating on and off for two years – have rented a £2 million villa in the tranquil area of Santa Eulalia.

Pete has told pals, including Carl Barat, 28, and singer Bobby Gillespie, 42, to head out to the clubbing capital this Saturday.

Our mole said: "Pete let the secret slip on Saturday evening while on the lash with Kate at the Boogaloo bar in north London.

"He said they were planning a ‘special day’ involving close friends and something ‘magical’ would happen later that afternoon."

Our mole continued: "They have found a register office in Blighty where they will ‘officially’ marry as they can’t legally wed in Ibiza.

"But that is where they will say their vows and Pete has even written Kate a special song for the occasion.

"Top notch caterers Eat Ibiza have been brought in for the occasion. They’ll dine on grilled tiger prawns drizzled with garlic, Parmesan-stuffed chicken and foie gras canapes and drink Cristal champagne."

This isn't the first time Pete has bragged that he's planning on marrying Kate Moss. Back in early April he told fellow revellers at an Austrian porn club that he and Kate had plans to marry in Scotland this fall. Their relationship fell apart afterwards, and those plans may have been real, or they might have been the meaningless ramblings of a drug addict.

It's entirely possible that The Daily Star made this news up or that Pete is just talking out of his ass and this will never happen. Kate has been spotted with an engagement ring on her finger, though. Her friends deny that she's engaged and say it's her own ring.

If they do get married, I give it less time than Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney's marriage. They've been reunited this third time, what, a week?

Victoria Beckham preggers again?

Britain's Daily Star says that Victoria Beckham is pregnant with her fourth child. She has spoken opening about wanting a big family, and it was said that she was trying for a girl.

Her ultra-hot husband, Real Madrid soccer player David Beckham, was said to have put Posh on a carb-rich diet to encourage her to "fatten up" in preparation to become pregnant again. She doesn't look to have gained much weight, though.

Posh and Beck have three boys: Brooklyn, 6, Romeo, nearly 4, and Cruz, one and a half, all born by cesarean section. Victoria has said that if she has a girl she would like to name her "Luna." That's not so bad for a celebrity baby name.

Here are pictures of Victoria and David Beckham at Nice airport on 8/14. She's wearing a loose top, but she doesn't look like she has a bump yet. [via]

"Friends" reunion is coming - really!

The NY Post's Cindy Adams reports that a long-rumored "Friends" reunion is now in the works, and that holdout Jennifer Aniston finally agreed to it:

JENNIFER Aniston, and whatever reason changed her mind, who knows, finally OK'd a "Friends" reunion. The primary holdout, she, now, for whatever reason, who knows, has agreed to it. Everyone's thrilled. It's big bucks for the whole bunch. Jennifer always loved the show's Thanksgiving episodes - for whatever reason, who knows - so she's encouraging the script to be something Thanksgiving-y, or at least to center around that holiday. Please, no remarks about a turkey.

A while ago it was rumored that Lisa Kudrow said that "one of the guys" was holding up the reunion after Kathleen Turner let it slip that she was approached to reprise her role as Chandler's mom, but then Kudrow denied that a reunion was in the works.

Now that Cindy Adams has reported it, it's probably true, and I can't wait! I love that show, although it's hard to watch now that I have such a poor opinion of Aniston. She must have realized how much she owes to "Friends" and maybe she'll be grateful to the show for making her famous.

Katie Holmes attends a party with a Scientology handler

Today I read somewhere that Katie Holmes went to a Hollywood party without Tom where the rule was "no guests," but that she brought a Scientology handler who wouldn't let her out of her sight. People said that Katie looked "dead in the eyes" and that everyone was talking about her. I looked through my browser history and did a google search and I cannot for the life of me figure out where I read this article. Did I dream it up? Is it old news? If you've seen this article, please comment here with the link.

Sorry for the half-story without a link, but I did read that and tried to figure out where I found it for about 20 minutes. That is forever in Internet time.

Here are some new pictures of Tom and Katie outside a stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. They were in Utah to see Beckham play soccer and could have possibly stopped to see if that couple involved in an accident was hurt, and we reported yesterday, but it still sounds like a PR stunt to me.

Update Thanks to the commentor who pointed me to Perez Hilton's site for the news. Katie did attend a girls-only party with a Scientology guard. Creepy!

Tom and Katie are also shown backstage at Cirque du Soleil on May 3rd. Thanks to Pink is the New Blog and KatieHolmes.com for these pics.

Brad Pitt is a good dad - with 19 new HQ Oceans pics!

Brad Pitt is now back in LA filming Oceans 13, tentatively subtitled "any excuse to see Pitt, Damon and Clooney onscreen together, even if Ellen Barkin is in it," and he's been bringing Maddox and Zahara with him to work! Pitt is taking advantage of the on-set daycare.

Our spies on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles say Pitt, on site filming "Ocean's 13," drops off Maddox and Zahara, his two adopted children with Angelina Jolie, at the studio's day-care center every day. "The day care is available to anybody working on the lot, including secretaries and executives," said our source. But, "The workers at the day-care center are very protective of Brad and won't let any of the other parents approach him or talk to him." A rep for Pitt said, "It sounds like Brad, but he would say 'Hi' to anyone who wants to talk to him."

That's cute! I wish they had daycare where my husband works.

Meanwhile these new pics on the Oceans set came out. There were just low-res versions before, but these huge pictures of the guys on set are making me swoon! There are plenty of pictures of Damon's cute butt too! Thanks to Simply Brad for the pics.

Eva Longoria wants to get it on with the ladies

Eva Longoria's diarrhea mouth is at it again. I usually don't report on the crap she says because every few days there's a new quote that shows how arrogant and/or horny she is. This one is too juicy not to report: she says she wants to get it on with a woman:

The 31-year-old says, "I wish I had a full-on gay experience because I think women are beautiful creatures. They're much more attractive naked than men, and it sounds like fun. Maybe I'm just holding out for the future.

"I did kiss a woman one time and it was particularly shocking as I was not prepared for it. I met a girl in Las Vegas who I didn't know liked me. We were hanging out with a bunch of friends and we were saying goodbye and she gave me a kiss.

"It was very surprising but very nice. There were tongues involved and it was definitely a real kiss which was soft and gentle and sweet."

That's hot and all, Eva, but cheating is cheating, and you don't get a pass just because it's a woman.

Eva and Tony Parker are not going to last. She's saying crap like this because she's bored in her relationship. She said earlier that she was the teacher and he was her sex student, then she tried to take it back by talking even more crap which just made it worse.

What I want to know is why women can brag about wanting to sleep with other women but it's still off limits for men to say they want a gay experience.

Here is Eva out with her dog for lunch on 8/11. [via]

Diddy's girlfriend is pregnant

Being the king of sexy means that you're also the daddy of a lot of expensive kids. Diddy has two children by two different women for which he pays a whopping $50,000 a month in child support. A woman in Atlanta claims that Diddy fathered her newborn, and the hip hop and fashion mogul reportedly took a paternity test last week. Now it's rumored that Diddy's longterm girlfriend, Kim Porter, is pregnant with the couple's second child:

SEAN Combs is about to be a father again. Friends of Combs and his girlfriend, Kim Porter, say she's pregnant with their second child. The two are already proud parents of Christian, 9, and Combs has another son Justin, 12, by Misa Hylton Brimm. Friends were suspicious when Porter abstained from alcohol and went to bed early during their visit to St. Tropez. Then, at the ad campaign photo shoot for his Unforgiveable fragrance in Monte Carlo, Porter wore loose shirts. We hear a marriage proposal is also in the works.

Sure he'll propose to her - once the prenup is drawn up all nice and tight. While Kim was said to have turned a blind eye to Diddy's cheating, she was said to be mighty pissed that he fathered another baby outside of their relationship. We'll have to see if news of Diddy's illegitimate baby gets out, and if it keeps him from marrying pregnant Kim.

Jennifer Garner could be pregnant again

Jennifer Garner only fuels those persistent rumors that she's pregnant again when she wears tops like this. This suspicious outfit coupled with the news that she fainted recently on the set of her new movie make it seem like she's carrying little Violet's sibling. I'm probably wrong, though, and she's just shy about her stomach. She looks gorgeous as ever wearing a loose top in these pictures taken in LA at the W Hotel on July 16th. [via]

Nicole Richie and Keira Knightley are deathly thin

I take back what I said about Nicole Richie gaining a little bit a weight. She may have put on a few essential pounds a couple of weeks ago, but she looks like death warmed over again in these latest shots on the beach.

Keira Knightley is also taking the anorexic look a little too far. While she claims she's doesn't have the disorder, there's no way she's eating well if her chest looks like this.

Britain's Daily Mail reports that Nicole broke into tears and wailed "I have a disease" when a photographer told her to gain some weight. I really doubt that happened, but she is thinner than she was just a few weeks ago. The British rag sounds the alarm about the two young paparrazi-targets' weight:

Nicole Richie's weight battle has taken a turn for the worse, with the star being snapped looking positively skeletal.

With her ribcage protruding through her skin, the socialite and TV star had to hold up her American size 0 bikini which bagged around her wisp thin frame as she sunbathed on a beach in Malibu.

Earlier in the day, it was reported that a photographer called out telling her to "gain some weight." The ultra-skinny star replied: "I have a disease" before bursting into floods of tears...

And it seems Nicole is not the only celebrity with a worryingly thin frame at the moment.

Pirates of the Carribean star Keira Knightley, was spotted in central London on Friday exposing an emaciated ribcage.

Here are the pictures in question, found at Hollywood's Best. X17 took the ones of Nicole on the beach.

Another suspect Suri sighting and TomKat aids accident victims

Suri was said to have attended the birthday party of Jada Pinkett and Will Smith's son, Jaden, but there are no pictures and the wording of the description given by the supposed eyewitness is suspect. They use the same description of the baby that we've heard before "dark, curly hair," "no physical deformities," and "looks like Tom." It could be because that's how the baby actually looks, or because someone is feeding these lines to the press.

Does this sound true to you?

According to the eyewitness: "Suri is a beautiful baby. She had no deformities that I could see! She has a gorgeous head full of dark, curly hair, and she resembles both parents, though she looks slightly more like Tom."

Tom and Katie Holmes appeared relaxed at the party, which was held at a roller-skating rink.

Adds the snitch: "Sadly, they did not attempt to roller-skate."

Meanwhile Katie and Tom are said to have "comforted accident victims" when they stopped to check on a couple after they were involved in a crash:

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes helped comfort a pair of shaken accident victims Saturday night, PEOPLE has learned.

A rep for the couple confirms that Cruise, 44, and Holmes, 27, were on their way home from the airport after a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, for an exhibition soccer game (their friend David Beckham and his team, Real Madrid, beat Real Salt Lake 2-0), when they saw a couple on L.A.'s 101 Freeway who had apparently just been in a car accident.

The engaged pair and parents to 4-month-old daughter Suri checked to make sure the passengers, Jon Henningsen and his wife, were not seriously injured, then waited with them until the police and fire department arrived on the scene.

I don't believe any of this. What's wrong with me? Everything about Tom and Katie seems like it's fake to me and I have trouble buying this story.

The person who posted this story on Oh No They Didn't, Chung Chung, says "I call bullshit," and that he/she remembers a similar story coming out about Tom helping an accident victim about ten years ago. If it was Matthew McConaughey, I would say it's true, but Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? I doubt it.

Madonna promises never to try to act again

Madonna knows what she's good at, and now she plans to stick to it. The super-fit geriatric Jewish queen of pop can't act for shit and she's finally admitted it:

MADONNA has begrudgingly turned her back on her movie career, because she is convinced the media is hell bent on ensuring her film projects are flops. The LIKE A VIRGIN singer was lauded for her performance in the big screen adaptation of the musical EVITA, but she has suffered a string of flops, most notably BODY OF EVIDENCE and SWEPT AWAY, her last movie role directed by husband GUY RITCHIE, which failed to secure a cinema release. And the 47-year-old, who is currently in the midst of her Confessions world tour, will concentrate solely on her music career from now on. She says, "I hate to admit it, but I've decided to give [acting] up. "How can any film survive if everyone says it's going to be a flop from the very day the project is even conceived? "It's already dead in the water."

By saying it's already "dead in the water," she may have been making a sneaky reference to that terrible film that doomed her husband's career, "Swept Away." People say her films suck not because she's in them, but because they've actually seen them and she can't act. Her acting is wooden and forced, and that's smart of her to stick with what she knows - writhing around on stage and pissing off the Christians.

Here's Madonna in concert in Rome on August 6th. Looks like the pope missed a fabulous show. [via]

Love conquers all: Pete and Kate back together again

I've come to the conclusion that British celebrities are dumber in love than their American counterparts. This is a gross overgeneralization based on Jude Law and Sienna Miller's foolish on-again off-again relationship, and Kate Moss' inexplicable draw to drug-addled Jaguar-wrecking Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty. Just last week Pete had to resort to getting an implant in his stomach to help him kick his love of most every type of drug, and that's good enough for lonely Kate, who was seen making out with him in public. Hopefully he took her money to get his nasty teeth fixed.

On Pete and Kate's big night out Pete was seen puking in a women's bathroom before wrecking the stage while performing with his band. Britian's Sunday Mirror says that taking drugs with a drug implant in your stomach will do that to 'ya:

I can reveal their evening started off well enough when the goo-goo-eyed couple turned up for Channel 4's new music show Transmission with T-Mobile at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith on Friday night.

The pair snogged in the corridor, with Kate, 32 acting more like a teenager... she couldn't keep her hands off his skinny butt.

It was definitely clear to all that love was in the air when a posse of young beauties walked past and shouted "Pete! We love you, Pete!"

In response, Mossy threw them a dirty look before sticking her tongue down his throat.

She hopes they'll live happily ever after now because pasty-faced Pete had a new anti-drug implant fitted last week and claims to be winning his fight to stay clean.

But fast-forward to two hours later. Pete, 27 - who was performing - showed little sign that he'd changed much when he barged into the women's toilets and, wait for it, puked his guts up.

I'm told all the ladies recoiled in horror and told potty Pete to get out but he kept shouting that he was in the men's loos.

Radar hopes the "reformed" druggie hasn't fallen back into his old ways - implants make you vomit violently if you take drugs. Things didn't get much better during the troubled rocker's performance with his band Babyshambles as he ended up wrecking the stage. He even managed to destroy the lighting rig.

It will take more than a little device or drug scandal to change Pete and Kate.

Natalie Portman's pokies

Natalie Portman is going to appear nude in the upcoming "Goya's Ghost," and she's auditioning to play a hooker in another movie so she probably doesn't care that you can see her nipples through this top she's wearing. She also shot some nude scenes for "Closer" in 2004 which were cut from the film.

Paris Hilton shows up for every event, has a sex video out and has had scores of nip and vag slips yet she refuses to appear nude on screen. Who do you think people have more respect for, Paris or Natalie?

Paris buys a cemetary plot next to Marilyn Monroe... for her goat

I wrote Snopes.com to ask them to fact check this story, because it sounds like complete bullshit to me, but Paris Hilton is said to have purchased a cemetary plot next to Marilyn Monroe for a "Billy Hilton," which was initially thought to be a poorly named deceased relative. It turned out that Billy was her goat. Someone made this shit up, but it's pretty funny:

Paris Hilton has stunned Hollywood locals with her plans to bury her pet goat at the West Wood Village Memorial Park next to the memorial of screen legend Marilyn Monroe.

A plot had been secured in the cemetery under the name of Billy Hilton and it was assumed it was for a Hilton family member.

Local and people with plots are disgusted by Hilton’s plan to bury an animal in the very human memorial park.

One local gentleman said: “It’s absolutely disgusting. Paris booked the plot for ‘Billy Hilton’. And everyone was very understanding about it, because they presumed it was one of her relatives.

“But it has transpired that it’s just an old goat. Normal people are content to bury their pets in the garden and done with it. But not Paris.

“This is one of the most prestigious cemeteries in the world, and it’s certainly not for animals. It should be reserved for beloved superstars.”

This simply can't be true. I did a half-assed google search, and it seems to have originated with a press release, which also claimed that Paris booked a gospel choir to perform at a funeral. Just like the rumor that Will Ferrell died in a freak para-gliding accident, someone cooked up a joke press release and now the dumber news services are picking it up.

Paris might have a whole zoo full of animals, but it's doubtful she loves her goat this much, or even knows where Marilyn Monroe is buried.
