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.
