"William H. Macy says Lindsay Lohan should have her ass kicked" Links

2006-08-25T03:38:07Z

Beyonce plans huge wedding to Jay-Z

2006-08-23T12:18:47Z

Beyonce, 24, is reportedly planning to marry her boyfriend, Def Jam president Jay-Z, 36, in a lavish ceremony on the Island of Anguilla this November. Star reports that the reception has a $3 million price tag and that it will include $300,000 worth of caviar alone. There won't be any Cristal at this bash:

The “Dreamgirls” star is set to wed rap impresario Jay Z, and the lavish event will come with a $3 million price tag, according to the upcoming Star.

The former Destiny’s Child member is planning a late November wedding on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, reports the tab. Guests at the bash will dine on $300,000 worth of Beluga caviar as well as lobster and Italian truffles and will wash it down with $200 bottles of Dom Perignon. Knowles’ wedding dress will be modeled after Princess Diana’s, reports the Star, and among the guests invited are Oprah Winfrey and U.N. head Kofi Annan.

An impediment to the marriage had been Beyoncé’s manager father, Matthew Knowles, and his misgivings about the 36-year-old Jay Z’s relationship with his 24-year-old daughter, but Matthew Knowles has apparently come around and given the romance his blessing.

“Beyoncé’s telling friends it will be ‘the wedding to end all weddings,’” according to the source. “Beyoncé feels like she’s living a fairy tale so why shouldn’t her wedding be equally magical?”

That's nice that Beyonce's father has given his blessing as she was said to have some trouble getting out from under his thumb and running her own career and life.

This isn't the first time that we've heard rumors that these two were getting married. Back in early June Jay-Z lost weight on a high-protein diet sponsored by Beyonce. People speculated that his weight loss was a sign that he was preparing to marry the pop singer.

In late June it was rumored that Beyonce and Jay-Z were spending too much time apart and that they were breaking up, but that was only reported by a single source and the couple has been spotted out and about many times since. They even performed together at Radio City Music Hall.

Beyonce recently revealed that she has a sexy dress she puts on whenever she needs to seduce her man. She even wrote a song about it called "Freakum Dress" that will be on her new album.

Cruise Dumped!

2006-08-23T07:57:37Z

Tom Cruise has been relieved of his contract with Paramount Studios. At first the word was that he'd have to take a paycut of more than 75%, but now the studio is dropping him entirely. Instead of releasing a carefully worded statement that they're cutting costs and have enjoyed working with Cruise, which is undoubtedly forthcoming, the head of Viacom, Paramount's parent company, told the Wall Street Journal that Tom's behavior was unacceptable!

"As much as we like him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew his deal," Viacom Inc. Chairman Sumner Redstone told the Wall Street Journal in an interview posted online. "His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount." Paula Wagner, the actor's longtime partner in his movie company, Cruise/Wagner Productions, struck back at Redstone, calling his comments about the three-time Oscar nominee "offensive" and "undignified."

"Whatever remarks Mr. Redstone would make about Tom Cruise personally or as an actor have no bearing on what this business issue is," she told Reuters. "There must be another agenda that the studio has in mind to take one of their greatest assets and malign him this way."

Five films starring Cruise and co-produced by his company, including the "Mission: Impossible" series, have generated theatrical revenues totaling over $2 billion worldwide during the past decade. And Wagner said his films accounted for about 15 percent of the studio's overall box office gross over that period.

Moreover, Wagner insisted that she and Cruise chose to leave the Paramount lot and establish a new venture financed through a private, revolving equity fund of $100 million.

"We in fact made a decision not to continue our relationship with Paramount Pictures," she said.

Tom has got to be pissed. He travelled around the world in a crazed frenzy to promote MI3, all while supposedly having a non-existent newborn at home. That's not enough for Paramount, because they want a star with average ambition and a verifiably normal home life.

Tom will continue to be richer than sin even if he's no longer working. We'll probably see his face on screen again soon, though. If he's "establishing a new venture" as his business partner insists that must mean that they're going to start their own production company. Tom should stick to acting and not try to direct though. "Battlefield: Earth II" probably won't do that well at the box office.

"Jessica Simpson's new hair extensions" Links

2006-08-22T16:53:24Z

As I mentioned last week, I am freeing Celebitchy from Movable Type and moving to blogger-friendly open source Wordpress. The closer I get, the more I want to take advantage of Wordpress' ease of use and quicker publishing. Movable Type really is a clunky pain, and I would not recommend it to anyone, although it did the job for a while.

I need to work on the Wordpress conversion for the rest of the week, (I know I said I would do this last week, but I'm dragging my feet.) Right now I think I'll be able to report some gossip for the rest of the week, just not as much as I normally do. Thanks for bearing with me.

Brad Pitt is smoking hot. Brad Pitt smoking is not.

2006-08-22T16:18:29Z

Why does Brad Pitt smoke? Is he addicted and/or does he think it looks cool? He could eat his boogers and it would look cool, but smoking is just a nasty habit. It's not like he's succumbing to peer pressure on set since he's hanging with Clooney outside their trailers and Clooney's got a mouthful of gum.

I live in Switzerland, where everything is clean and healthy except for the damn cigarettes. It's not taboo to smoke here like it is in America. There's often no non-smoking section in restaurants, and smoking in public is not frowned upon. Unfortunately that's changed my opinion of smoking a bit, although I still hate to be around the smoke. Celebrities don't set a good example by smoking, but they're just hanging out and don't intend to be photographed so who am I to judge?

The latest non-news on the Jolie-Pitt relationship claims that Angelina wants to get married at this point, and not in some freaky non-binding ceremony, but for real, while Brad is holding off. They're also supposedly fighting a lot, with people saying that Angelina's crazy need to escape is getting on Brad's nerves.

Now Life and Style is reporting that Brad's reaching out to his ex Jennifer Aniston, which enrages Angelina:

Now a report from Life & Style Weekly proclaims Angelina Jolie's frustration and Brad Pitt's desire to reach out to his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

According to L&S Brad "misses Jen and misses how Jen made him feel." The mag's insider also reportedly said that "Jen gave him confidence and brought out the best in him."

Recent reports suggest that Pitt has indicated a desire to meet with his ex and apologize for all the heartbreak.

That sounds like bullshit. People really want to know the dirt on the world's most famous beautiful couple, and it's quite easily manufactured for our consumption. Then again, I didn't believe they were going to Africa until they actually did it, either.

Here are pictures of Brad on the "Oceans 13" set, courtesy of Just Jared.

Hip-hop community considers K-Fed irrelevant and a joke

2006-08-22T13:05:39Z

Bigwigs in the hip-hop community have dismissed Kevin Federline's piss poor attempt to break into the rap industry by getting his former pop star wife to bolster his lack of talent. Magazine editors say he's not really notable, and if he is, it's only for a brief laugh:

Elliot Wilson, editor in chief of XXL magazine, hadn’t seen Federline’s TV debut. Still, he called it a “YouTube disaster” — something to be laughed off in hip-hop circles.

“I just think we ignore him,” Wilson told The Associated Press on Monday. “He’s a joke, basically. ... I just don’t think he gets it. He doesn’t get that he’s Britney’s man and it’s hard to take him seriously.”

Jermaine Hall, executive editor of King magazine, echoes that sentiment.

“The thing that really hurts him is the fact that he’s perceived as Britney’s husband,” Hall, who had yet to see the performance, told the AP. “You know, kinda like Britney’s second — I don’t even want to say second in command, but — he’s like the Britney Boy. He’s like Mrs. Spears, and it’s kinda hard to get over that perception.”

That last guy was pretty generous in his quotes. If K-Fed had any talent it wouldn't really matter that he's Britney's husband. I would like to see him get his ass handed to him in a freestyle rap competition with any halfway decent street rapper. Did you see "8 Mile?" K-Fed writes his rhymes ahead of time and they're awful. There's no way he has enough skill or brains to diss someone on the fly - he would get laughed off the stage.

Here is K-Fed in mercifully few shots of his god-awful performance at the Teen Choice Awards, along with some of Britney. Thanks to BreatheHeavy.com for the pics.

Lindsay Lohan slams Ashlee Simpson for getting plastic surgery

2006-08-22T12:34:57Z

Lindsay Lohan should either keep her mouth shut or try to make sure that people stop making up fake quotes and attributing them to her, because she supposedly slammed Ashlee Simpson for getting plastic surgery. She said that the tabloids didn't pay enough attention to Ashlee's new nose, but that's bullshit because it was all over the place and Ashlee was even forced to admit that she had rhinoplasty.

Lindsay Lohan has blasted tabloids for speculating about her ample chest, after they ""blew off the fact"" concerning Ashlee Simpson's recent cosmetic surgery on her nose.

Lohan, 20, has long been the subject of rumors she has undergone breast enhancement surgery, while Simpson's rhinoplasty operation in April made an obvious difference to her nose and was confirmed by her publicist.

The Mean Girls star believes Simpson's nose job was virtually ignored compared to the amount of media attention her breasts attracted, which Lohan has always insisted are completely natural.

Lohan says, ""It's like when they said I got my chest done and it wasn't true.

""(The tabloids) kind of blew off the fact that Ashlee Simpson got a nose job. I've never done anything.""

Lohan also repeated that lie that her boobs are real, saying she's never done anything. Yeah, she didn't do it, a plastic surgeon did. She's pretty good at arguing the finer points of the truth. Maybe she should go to law school. Oh wait - she'd have to go to college first. (Yeah, I'm blasting the celebrities for lack of education today. It kind of amazes me how popular Lohan and Paris are when they didn't even try to go to college.)

Here are both Ashlee and Lohan outside of club Hyde in Hollywood. They missed each other by a couple of nights and several fistfulls of martinis. Lohan was there on August 17th and Ashlee was there on August 20th. If you saw these pictures of Lohan last week I'm sorry, but I just couldn't resist her drunken mug.

Paris Hilton's mom told her that giving blowjobs gives you acne scars

2006-08-22T09:22:28Z

Us Weeky has the highlights from Paris Hilton's new interview in Blender magazine, and they're hilarious. She "f'in hates" when fans touch her, cries when listening to her own album, and reveals that her baby-doll act and insane ambition were inspired by her narcissistic grandmother.

The best part, though, is that her mom Kathy told her that acne scars were caused by giving oral sex. At age 19, Paris supposedly believed her:

“My mom told me that you get those holes in your face, craters – she knew this person who had craters. I’m like, ‘What is that from?’ She’s like, from giving bl-w j-bs.” “I’m like, ‘You get craters?’ And I totally believed her. She’s like, ‘It’s from sucking.’ I’m like, ‘Ewwww!’ I told my boyfriend – he’s like, ‘Why don’t you ever do that?’ I’m like, ‘Because my mom told me you get these craters.’ And he’s like, ‘Paris, you’re 19. You’re allowed to do this.’”

Maybe Pink believes this too, and that's why she thinks blowjobs are gross.

Is it surprising that at the age of 19 Paris was as gullibe and uninformed about sex as the average grade school student? Maybe she wouldn't be as successful if she wasn't that stupid. It's a good thing for her that she never finished high school.

Here are some pictures of Paris at an in-store appearance at Best Buy on August 18th and in Blender Magazine.

Thanks to Gossipin for the tip, and to Hollywoods Best for these photos.

Charlize Theron is engaged (a sort-of exclusive)

2006-08-21T10:52:42Z

Charlize Theron sported darker hair and is still wearing that engagement ring we first spotted back in late April. A new interview from Scotland, where she has been attending the Edinburgh film festival, calls her boyfriend of four years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, her fiance. It's stated in a matter-of-fact manner despite the fact that this news hasn't been announced:

Theron now lives in LA with her fiancé, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, whom she met on the set of the 2002 thriller Trapped. As non-committal about any future marriage plans as she is to acting right now, for the moment Theron is looking to launch a new film with director Alan Parker, "an eccentric off-the-tracks family drama-comedy" as she puts it.

Theron's engagement has been under the radar in Hollywood, although she wore a ring on ther left ring finger to the opening of Club Social Hollywood in late June and may be waiting for the press to pick up on it.

She is producing and starring in a new film about Cuban music artists, her first in over two years. She quipped on stage at the Edinburgh film festival that she was moving to Scotland, as she was surprised that they gave her whisky to drink during a press conference.

Since wer're the first ones to spot this we're calling it a sort-of exclusive.

Here is Theron at the film festival on August 17, 18, and 19th. [via]

Why is Nicole Kidman holding her stomach?

2006-08-21T10:21:57Z

She must have just worked out her abs hard, because Nicole Kidman no longer has a hint of a bump in these pictures taken outside her Hollywood gym on August 5th. Either her stomach is sore or she's teasing the paps, because she really doesn't look pregnant. The 39 year-old actress is said to want a biological child with her new husband, country crooner Kieth Urban, 38.

Reader Millie points out that fertility treatment can make a woman bloated, and that could explain the baby bumps on otherwise skinny "older" actresses.

Kidman has lent her name to an ad declaring support for Isreal in the Middle East Crisis. She signed an ad in the LA Times along with Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, and Patricia Heaton, saying she was "pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas."

Now we know which side of the Hollywood fence she stands on. I'm not touching the subject this time people, discuss amongst yourselves.

K-Fed sets white rappers back 15 years; with video from TCA

2006-08-21T08:40:40Z

The Beastie Boys, Eminem and 3rd Bass all prove that white guys can rap. Vanilla Ice was ahead of his time. K-Fed embodies the stereotype that white guys are idiot posers with no talent. His performance at the Teen Choice Awards yesterday just set white rappers back 15 years.

Britney threw some more seaweed over her beached whale of a career by coming on stage in one of her trademark boob-baring maternity dresses and introducing her husband through a mouthful of gum.

During the performance teen boys try to distract from the real K-Fed by performing karaoke to his rapping, and a wingman raps the intro to the song, but nothing can save this hot mess. All the boys do is remind us that K-Fed's insane ambition to rap is best abandoned in the Junior High years.
