Cele|bitchy week in review: fake news
Our distrust in the gossip industry peaked this week, with several rumors being debunked, and fake quotes circulating like wildfire.
The week started out with news of Ellen Degeneres’ big win and a large picture post from last Friday’s Daytime Emmy Awards.
Star Jones showed her smug plastic face and unconvincingly altered cleavage at the Daytime Emmys. It came out yesterday that she may have been exposed to HIV while undergoing gastric bypass surgery, and that Oprah’s best friend Gayle King may replace her on The View
Stars strutted their stuff with their favorite designers at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum in NY. The theme was British fashion, and a herbally-enhanced Sienna Miller presided over the festivities in a too-short gold sequined dress and messy hair.
Brad Pitt flew back to America to get help for Zahara’s medical condition, rickets. Angelina Jolie was said to want a water birth, and all sorts of other tidbits were circulating about the Jolie-Pitts. It turned out that none of those rumors were true.
Also in the “fake news” department was Britney Spears’ much-awaited press conference on Thursday. The news was based on a quote from a fictional Sony executive. Britney also is said to be having a baby girl, and will be monitored by Children and Family Services as a result of Sean Preston’s fall.
Crazy Tom Cruise was all over the place promoting Mission Impossible 3 and giving adjective-strewn quotes. Cruise was in Mexico City, on The Late Show, storming NY, and making kissy-face with “Kate” in LA.
One thing he didn’t do was oversee Katie’s fitness program with Buff Brides. We know the creator of Buff Brides, Sue Fleming, and she assured us that she never met Katie Holmes and did not say that Tom was managing her post baby shape-up plan.
Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos broke up, and Paris promptly shacked up and partied with a newly minted pro football player. Lindsay Lohan may have stolen Stavros away from Paris, but she doesn’t seem to care much. Stavros wasn’t satisfied with Lohan and staged a drunken pity party outside of Paris’ house. She gave him some mercy sex as a consolation prize.
Lindsay Lohan still wants to try to clean up her image with a vague plan for some humanitarian work. She attended the Minnesota premiere of A Prarie Home Companion, and got told to put out her cigarette by Cameron Diaz while at a NY Club.
Nicole Richie partied at Coachella, admitted that she’s too thin and has sought help, and will appear in a retouched spread and interview in Vanity Fair.
Michelle Rodriguez got out of jail, likes hot lesbian action, and had her character killed off Lost this week. She appeared on on Good Morning America and on Total Request Live in a see through top. While she admitted that she needs to grow up, she doesn’t seem too concerned about her second DUI arrest and short imprisonment.
Jessica Simpson may be hooking up with her ex, Nick Lachey, in secret hotel trysts, and she may also be interested in hooking up with poorly endowed singer James Blunt.
