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.

Here is Lindsay in I-d Magazine, courtesy of Linds-Lo.com

Britney Spears and Charlie Sheen to make beautiful baby clothes together


Remember that baby clothing venture that I was making fun of Britney for forgetting about just a couple of days ago? It seems she hasn't dropped it after all. Word is she asked Charlie Sheen, who launched his own "Sheen Kids" line just when his estranged wife decided to air a bunch of dirt on him, if she can collaborate with him for help launching her own line of baby clothes:

Britney Spears is reportedly hoping to team up with Charlie Sheen and his Sheen Kidz project on her new children's clothing line. "Brit's people approached Sheen Kidz out of the blue," a source told OK! magazine. "She's seen his clothing and really liked it. She wants to start her own children's clothing line and she thought Sheen Kidz would be able to help get things off the ground." The source also added that Sheen is willing to give it a go, saying, "Charlie believes it would be fun to work with Britney."

That's smart of Britney to get help from someone who already has a line of children's clothing out. It's rare of her to ask for advice and she should be commended.

Meanwhile Anna Nicole Smith has asked Britney to hang out with her. She's posted a message on her stupid video diary telling Britney she'd love to be her friend:

"If you wanted to be friends, I would so much love to hang out with you."

Smith continues, "I think you're totally cool, and I think we're going to have our babies about the same time."

Smith is pretty dumb if she thinks that Britney's due date is just around the same time as hers. Maybe she'll get some free baby clothing out of the deal, though. She'll need the help since her website isn't really bringing in the subscribers.

Britney Spears wants to start own celebrity magazine "The Real"



Kevin Federline has been quoted talking about a magazine he and Britney plan on launching that will counter the gossip and fake news made up by the tabloids:

KEVIN FEDERLINE has added his support to wife BRITNEY SPEARS' plans to launch a new magazine to counter rumours they read in the press. Spears recently vowed to publish "the real deal" about their lives and relate other celebrity news too. Speaking to American magazine Steppin' Out, Federline says of thier idea for 'The Real', "It's not just us. Everybody has been lied about in the tabloids. "Everybody has false truths and false images and false stuff perceived on them. Maybe not as much as me and my wife get. But everybody has it." Federline feels the proposed venture would provide a valuable service to fellow celebrities, adding, "I think a magazine like that, would attract all the stars. I think they would want to go to that magazine and tell the truth! "I'm not kidding. This is something I want to do for real".

This sounds like one of those things you talk about with your spouse when you've had a few, like "Wouldn't it be great if I started my own business?" and then they go and tell your friends about it when you haven't really thought it through and didn't want the news to come out.

I really doubt Britney and Kevin are clever enough to harness the talent to start a huge venture like this. Britney couldn't even accept help getting prepared for a primetime TV interview, so this unlikely to happen.

Remember when Britney was said to be creating her own line of baby clothing and even took out a trademark for it? What happened with that?

She's suing a bunch of tabloids from overseas in the hopes of getting some cash, so that's probably where she got this half-baked idea.

I already published these pictures of Britney at Kevin's Pure video shoot, but the only other recent pictures are blurry ones of Britney driving around talking on her cell phone, which seem too lame to post.

Ashton Kutcher to play womanizing florist


Ashton Kutcher will star in a romantic comedy loosely based on the 1975 Warren Beatty film Shampoo, in which he plays a florist:

Ashton Kutcher is set to star in a modern-day "Shampoo" set in the world of florists for Columbia Pictures, it was reported in Hollywood.

Kutcher and Kevin Bisch made the comedy pitch, which Columbia is expected to fast-track to the screen, The Hollywood Reporter said Thursday.

The show is being produced by Kutcher and Jason Goldberg's Katalyst Films and Bisch will be the executive producer.

Kutcher and his partner Kevin Bisch came up with the idea for the film, which they sold to Columbia pictures for a reported $1.5 million.

Here is Kutcher at Dodger stadium for a Dodger Angels baseball game on 5/21. He's looking rather rough, but maybe the thought of playing a florist lead him to grow a beard to assert his masculinity.

Gwen Stefani exploits people


A lot of people like Gwen Stefani, and it's nice that she's pregnant and married. I can't stand her, although I do publish pictures of her and haven't said anything about it yet. She hired a bunch of American-born Asian women to follow her around and act like they enjoy behaving like Japanese kept women. Their contract even stipulated that they couldn't talk. Gwen may want to capitalize on the harijaku culture, but what she did is like having minstrels accompany her because she thinks African culture is cool.

Her new line of baby shoes is ridiculous. The designs are aimed at urban minorties who are more style-conscious in general, and statistically have less money. A pair of baby shoes from Gwen's line costs $50 a pair. Babies don't really need shoes until they can walk, but the sizes only come in sizes 0-3. My kid was a siize 5 by the time he could walk.

So Gwen's new line of baby shoes, which she has called "so cute," are expensive accessories meant for babies who don't even need them.

There are people from all walks of life who want to buy expensive shit for their children. My cousin, for instance, has money and spends it on baby items that are obsolete within a couple of months. These shoes are aimed at style-conscious urban mothers who often can't afford it. Is it Gwen Stefani's fault that people buy crap they can't afford and don't need? No, but she's catering to it. These shoes are undoubtedly manufactured overseas in sweatshop-like conditions, and could surely have a lower price. (If you have evidence that this is not true, please send a link, because I looked around.) Is Gwen the only designer guilty of this? Of course not. If the damn shoes are so expensive, though, they could at least be made in the US.

Back to our regularly scheduled escapism. Here are the shoes and Gwen herself, who just had an second over the top baby shower attended by other celebrities like Christina Aguilera.

Gwen is due to have her first baby with fellow rocker Gavin Rossdale in June.

Charlie Sheen to launch a line of children's clothing


Charlie Sheen is involved in an incredibly stupid business venture: he launched a line of children's clothing this weekend!

People magazine has been granted exclusive coverage of tomorrow’s LA launch party for Charlie Sheen’s new line of children’s clothes, Sheen Kids (seriously). Which means they’re obligated to cheerfully give the event space in the magazine, no matter what Sheen’s personal drama may be.

Unfortunately for Sheen, the clothing line was in the works from some time, and announced over two months ago. The launch couldn't come at a worse time for him, because the allegations in his wife's divorce deposition are explosive.

The divorce statement from Denise Richards acquired by The Smoking Gun is pretty incredible and well worth the time to read. Richards says that Sheen:

  • Wanted Richards to abort their first child
  • Became enraged when he learned that his first baby would be a girl
  • Accused Richards of poisoning their daughter Sam when she switched from breastfeeding to formula after a month
  • Also accused Richards of poisoning Sam when she took the baby to get vaccinated
  • Was addicted to painkillers including Xanax and Ativan
  • Told Richards to wait while she was experiencing bleeding during her second pregnancy so that he could watch a basketball game.
  • Conducted bets while Richards was giving birth to their second child, and refused to pick her and the baby up from the hospital
  • Visited gay and straight porn sites with underage-looking participants.
  • Looked for sex online and e-mailed at least 30 people pictures of his erect penis.
  • Pushed Richards while she was holding their baby, and threatened to kill her while his two daughters watched.

    It just goes on.

    Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards were married in June 2002, and first announced their divorce in March, 2005 when Richards was six months pregnant with their second child. They reconciled in the fall of 2005, but announced that they were divorcing again in March of this year. They have two daughters, Sam, 2, and Lola, 9 months.

    It's bad news for Sheen's new clothing line that his divorce details are now public, but it's rather suspect that he's involved in children's clothing if the allegations by his ex-wife are true.

    Update: pictures from the Sheen Kids launch party. Charlie Sheen has of course denied Richards' allegations. And Denise Richards is now dating Richie Sambora.

    Tara Reid gets a job working for her brother


    Tara Reid has lamented the fact that people don't take her seriously as an actress after she's photographed stumbling all over town in various states of undress. Well it looks like her prayers have been answered and she no longer has to resort to swiping swag, because her brother has created a role custom made for her as the girlfriend of a professional bowler.

    Reid’s sibling, Tommy – heretofore best known as a producer of exactly one film – is calling the shots on 7-10 Split, a comedy penned by Ross Patterson. Tara and Ross will star in the film, which follows an aspiring actor who becomes the Tiger Woods of bowling, shaking up the competition. Together he and his girlfriend shove a little edge back into the ball-and-pin world.

    A source at ONTD reports that producers were looking for unpaid extras. If they can't even afford to pay a paltry sum to the poor extras, what's the film going to look like? It's gonna suck...

    Here's Tara rocking the early 90s makeup with a friend outside of Cafe Med. This guy is probably gay, as you can see in these earlier pictures of him with the party girl.

    Sienna Miller signs with Pepe Jeans


    Sienna Miller got hair extensions put in while she was in NY this week. She looks much more feminine with a return to her long hair, but her tresses are looking ratty and used already, much like the actress herself.

    Miller just signed a $4 million contract to become the new face of Pepe Jeans. Currently the news is only available in papers from India, so we're not sure if the ad campaign is limited to India or if it will be seen worldwide. With that much money changing hands, it's probably global:

    The sexy actress, more known for her rocky relationship with Hollywood hunk Jude Law, will appear in the new campaign through print and billboards, scheduled to be launched all over India this month.

    Chetan Shah, Country Head, believes that Miller is not just a Hollywood celeb but a complete fashion icon in herself.

    Here is Sienna in NY on April 6th and a second set of photographs of her visit to the hairdresser.

    Paris: I'm still with Starvos!


    Paris Hilton has overcome her fear of foreign languages and insists that she's still with Greek oil heir Stavros Niarchos III.

    The hotel heiress was doing her thing on the red carpet at the Roxy nightclub in LA - but Stavros was nowhere to be seen.

    She'd turned out to support pal Bijou Phillips, who was performing in a one-night stage production of Hedwig And The Angry Inch.

    According to IMDb, Paris said her boyf, who is at the University of Southern California, was at home concentrating on his studies...

    "He's turning 21 in two weeks, so he wants to get all the work done before the big birthday."

    Further rubbishing reports of trouble between the lovebirds, she added: "We just got back from the Bahamas.

    We just got back two hours ago. We've been relaxing for the past five days."

    Paris must be waiting eagerly for Niarchos' birthday. He stands to inherit $275 million when he turns 21. Paris is only expected to get a mere $50 million for her inheritance.

    Hilton and Niarchos were last photographed together about a week ago.

    Paris shouldn't be so concerned about money. She's signed up to add her name to a line of sunglasses to join the watches, handbags, leather goods, and cosmetics under the Paris Hilton label. [via]

    Countries try to increase tourism by claiming Brad Pitt is buying real estate


    We've read two different reports that Brad Pitt is buying real estate. One seems somewhat legitimate and the other sounds like complete BS.

  • First, Pitt is said to be investing in beach property in the Dominican Republic:

    The famous actor arrived in the country last Tuesday and visited the resort regions of Uvero Alto, Miches and Samaná where he will reportedly invest large sums in beach real estate.

  • He's also said to be buying a vineyard in Italy. Of course the spokesperson for the estate was more than happy to annouce Pitt's "secret" visit:

    Hollywood star BRAD PITT is planning to buy a vineyard outside Turin, Italy - a short distance from his pal GEORGE CLOONEY's Lake Como pad.

    MONICA TAVELLA, a spokeswoman for the estate, says, "Brad's visit was kept very secret, and only a handful of people knew that he was staying with us.

    "He stayed over a weekend which is usually quiet, so he was able to see the vineyard and the cellars where the wine is aged.

    "He was very interested in the whole process of wine-making, right from the vine to the bottle, and he was also very knowledgeable. He seemed to be interested in buying."

    Since no one else was at the vineyard at the time, there are no dates given for Pitt's visit, and only a 'handful of people" know he was there, we're sure there's no one to confirm the fact that Brad is interested in this failing winery in Italy.

    There are pictures of Pitt's visit to the Dominican Republic last weekend, though, which make the story that he's buying real estate there more likely.

    Jennifer Garner to get naked in new film


    Jennifer Garner is set to take it all off in a new erotic thriller. Her production company, Vandalia Films, is creating the picture, titled "Sabbatical," which will have a missing person plot with a twist:

    The story's premise follows a couple that hits the seventh-year-itch of marriage. To inject some life into their union, they decide to take a two-week sabbatical from each other during which, within a set of agreed rules, they can do whatever they want. When the wife returns to the agreed-upon meeting place two weeks later, however, she discovers that her husband has disappeared.

    In these pictures taken of Garner shopping in Santa Monica yesterday, she looks like she has slimmed down in preparation to go back to work. She has said that she is losing weight slowly instead of going on a radical diet in order to make sure that she and her nursing baby Violet, almost four months, are healthy.

    Pictures [via] and [via]

    Update: Four additional pictures of Garner shopping in Brentwood without sunglasses. She looks great. More pictures after the jump.

    Pink to open and dance in her own strip clubs


    Pink plans to open a chain of strip clubs - and wants to dance in them herself!

    The pop babe is such a fan of erotic shows she is allegedly considering launching lapdancing dens in London, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

    An insider told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "They could be huge because everybody loves her and her determination to take on the establishment."

    Pink trained to be a pole dancer for her latest erotic-themed show and flew in strippers from LA to perform on stage with her. We reported that she was planning to do a little pre-show stripping for her new husband, Carey Hart, while they were in London two days ago.

    Female-owned strip clubs can be just as successful and sexy, and may offer a better work culture for dancers. Jenna Jameson owns a club in Arizona that has done well, although it's now facing legal challenges from the community. Pink should stay behind the scenes though and leave the work to the professionals for the sake of her marriage and her business.

    Sting invents clever excuse for stripper addiction


    Sting is opening a strip joint in NYC and can finally put those rumors that he's stripper-obsessed to rest. He was just doing research for his new business venture, and the fact that he insisted that dancers keep their clothes on during lap dances bolsters his excuse. Bowie will be able to get his rocks off without guilt, too:

    Notorious strip-club aficionado Sting is opening his very own jiggle joint. We hear that the former Police chief is set to launch a satellite of Hollywood burlesque bar Forty Deuce on West 21st Street and 10th Avenue - and among his backers is regal rock legend David Bowie. While we've never spotted Bowie at Scores, Sting is a regular at top-shelf mammary meccas, where he is known for asking strippers to keep their dresses on during lap dances.

    You go, Sting. Guess those threesomes with Trudie were getting old.

    Vincent Gallo is the cash-toting unabomber

    Vincent Gallo with ugly big glasses and a full shaggy beard
    Unabashed racist sperm donor Vincent Gallo made an appearance at the LA Fashion week kick-off dinner at Mr. Chow's last night. He looks like he wants to go into hiding, but isn't quite sure if he can give up the free food.

    Gallo isn't all about pimping himself on eBay for an exhorbitant sum. His friend Mickey Rourke revealed that Gallo helped him through a rough patch by giving him 100k in a paper bag for a brief appearance in Buffalo 66:

    Down-on-his-luck ANGEL HEART star Rourke was offered $100,000 for four hours work in Gallo's offbeat BUFFALO 66 movie at a time when he was struggling to make ends meet.

    Rourke recalls, "I was flat broke because nobody would hire me. Vinnie called me up and said, 'Hey, I got this thing but you gotta learn it.'

    "Then he said, 'Are you having trouble with the government?' I told him, 'Yeah, I owe them a lot of money.' He said, 'What if I give you $100,000 in a paper bag...?'

    "When my scene was over, Vinnie gave me a paper bag full of money and I got on a plane the same afternoon."

    Where does someone get $100,000 in a paper bag? Obviously Gallo was keen to get rid of it quickly.

    Retraction of the last post


    I found a picture of Gisele Bundchen with activist billionaire Ron Burkle on the JJB Board. I dug up information on the guy to create a post - just in case they were dating. It was published when I found out that Burkle and Bundchen were out doing business. Burkle owns a stake in P.Diddy's clothing line and Bundchen is thinking of starting her own line too. Bundchen owns and designs Ipanema sandals, which sell over 6 million pairs a year. Picture [via]

    Thanks for understanding, and the old post is after the jump.

    Cameron and Justin to make Gigli on Ice

    Cameron and Justin drinking beer at a basketball game. Justin's caption reads: our movie is going to be such a hit. Cameron's caption reads: you are like a total genius
    We cannot contain our delight at today's news that Cameron and Justin are taking advantage of the brief ice skating "craze" to create and star in a ice skating-themed romance movie:

    Justin and Cam have thrown their acting hats into the rink and have begun developing an as-yet-untitled romantic skating flick with themselves as the leading couple.

    By the time they finish this flop the public will not give a shit about ice skating. The Olympics are finished, Skating with Celebrities has wrapped, and no one will care about ice skating a month from now. The only reason people will watch this is to see Cameron in tiny outfits.

    Everyone also knows that it's incredibly stupid to make a film with your significant other. The Sun recaps:

    MADONNA and SEAN PENN’s Shanghai Surprise from 1986 is one of the worst movies ever made. They divorced three years later.

    BEN AFFLECK and J-LO’s appalling Gigli came just before they split — and their careers have never recovered.

    Eyes Wide Shut is not regarded as one of TOM CRUISE or NICOLE KIDMAN’s finest works. They divorced in 2001, two years after the film, STANLEY KUBRICK’s last, came out.

    Gigli on ice - we can't wait!

    Nick Lachey loves Teens

    Nick Lachey in front of a blown-up picture of him on the cover of Teen People Magazine
    Nick Lachey was the host of Teen People's "20 Teens Who Will Change the World" event yesterday in New York. Teens honored included young "Lost" actor Malcolm David Kelly who is a youth mentor, Cody DeWitt, a 19 year-old filmmaker who documented his mother's battle with cancer, and Shannon Sullivan, a 14 year-old champion for Internet safety.

    Lachey made a surprising move last month when he announced that he was concerned about teen safety online and was starting up a teens-only social networking community to compete with MySpace. Lachey may have just been lending his celebrity to help some of his childhood friends, who developed the site. It is called Yfly and is now online

    Lachey is featured on the cover of the this month's Teen People, which includes an article about selfless teens. Here is Lachey at the event. The woman pictured with him is singer Natasha Bedingfield, who performed her songs "These Words" and "Unwritten."

    Stefani in talks for new lifestyle magazine

    Gwen Stefani pregnant wearing sunglasses and a baggy striped shirt
    Gwen Stefani may be starting a new magazine with print mogul Jane Pratt, former head of the magazines "Jane," and our favorite glossy in our teen years, "Sassy." Women's Wear Daily reports that Stefani is in final talks with Pratt for the project, which would "include book and online components" and involve Stefani's record label, Interscope:

    Stefani's lawyer confirmed Thursday that the singer and the former editor are in talks, but insisted there has been "no definitive agreement." He referred other questions to Interscope, which declined to comment. Pratt did not return calls.

    The magazine's target audience is unknown. While Pratt has said she wants to start a magazine for women over 35, Stefani's involvement suggests that they want to attract younger readers.
