There’s a feud between Spencer Pratt and Mary-Kate Olsen that has been brewing since high school, when he apparently sold pictures of the former child star drunk. Spencer was, as he continues to be, a complete dickhead, and Mary-Kate vaguely alluded to this on her interview this June with David Letterman. Letterman goaded Mary-Kate into telling a story about Spencer’s temper in high school and Spencer responded by calling Mary-Kate a ‘troll’ and the ‘less cute twin’ as well as criticizing her fashion sense.
Apparently the egotistic chants that rally in Spencer’s head paused for a moment for him to realize that most of the world seems to like Mary Kate, and no matter how ‘less-cute’ she is than her sister she’s still better looking than someone who resembles a wax museum chipmunk.
So, he did what any gentleman would do. He apologized.
“I apologize for getting caught up in trash talking, but she brought up an emotional subject when she mentioned the soccer stuff,” Pratt tells Us exclusively.
“I know Dave was just doing his job in asking her,” he went on. “He’s the best in the game at that.”
Pratt even admitted he was a bit envious of the twin.
“I respect Mary Kate as a business-woman,” he said. “I’m secretly jealous of her. I want my face on a lunchbox, too!”
Sources told Us that the Olsen-Pratt fight began after he sold high school photos of a tipsy-appearing Olsen to Star magazine.
Spencer, that isn’t an apology, it’s an insult. You didn’t actually apologize for what you said, just for getting caught up in the ‘trash talk’, then throw in a snide comment about the Olsen twins merchandise.
But we all believe that yes, you’d love to get your face on a lunchbox. I’d like it too – it would be an excellent place to store high calorie snacks that my diet doesn’t permit. One look at your face and I’d be put right off eating.

Secret Scientologist Will Smith has a movie to promote and a status as the top-grossing action hero to defend, so he’s doing the talk show circuit. His film Hancock with Charlize Theron is out in the US on July 2nd. He went on David Letterman last night to showcase his unique brand of everyman swagger and planted a big kiss on Letterman when the talk show host complimented his looks.
Letterman: Every time I see you, you just look better and better, and I’m wondering, because when you get to be my age you start thinking about…
[Smith puckers lips, leans in and closes eyes]
Letterman: Oh stop it.
[Then Letterman leans in twice and lets Smith kiss him on each cheek]
Smith: Once you go black, you never go back Dave.
Letterman: This has taken an unforeseen direction.
Schaeffer: Black is one thing, but this is ridiculous
Letterman: How old a guy are you, is where this is going?
Smith: I’m 39…
Letterman: You look like you’re 29 for the love of God.
Smith: David! My 40th birthday is this year, September 25.
[Transcribed from Will Smith’s appearance on The Late Show, 5/24/08, video below]
Letterman asked him what he’s been up to and he said he’s been traveling promoting Hancock and was in Berlin and Moscow. Letterman asked him what it was like and he said of Moscow “It’s like where God made the first white ladies ever.. Six foot two, blonde hair, blue-eyed [makes pained face] just perfection. It’s like really. It’s not the picture of Russia that we have… It is gorgeous and beautiful and sexy.”
Then they joked about the crowd response to Will around the world. Smith said “Something new happened after ‘I am Legend’ in my career… things have sort of connected around the world in a way that it’s never been. Walking down the streets of Moscow just the energy is more than it’s ever been.” Then Smith accidentally knocked his microphone off and said to Letterman “Can you get that for me honey?”
After the break Smith said that his wife Jada said he’s been working too much and asked him to take the next five months off. He didn’t sound happy about it, and he said Jada “might need to be prepared to have lots of sex, Dave.”

Sarah Jessica Parker was on David Letterman last night. She told a cute story about how her five and a half year-old son, James, asked her politely when she returned from her European appearances for the film is she brought him a present. Dave asked whether Parker, 43, plans to have another child and she just started laughing and didn’t answer the question. Dave said she smelled great and asked about her perfume and she said it’s a “genderless” fragrance she’s developed that’s supposed to work for both men and women.
Then Parker said she loved the “Peidmont Bird Callers” from Johnny Carson’s show. She proceeded to demonstrate a bird call for a rare bird called the “Bleeker Street Purple Beaked Zinglander” that she had perfected and that was pretty fun.
After the break they started talking about the Sex and The City movie, which is out in the US on May 30th. Dave teased Parker about the hat she wore to the London premiere. Then Dave let slip a major spoiler for the film, and Jessica was kind of shocked that he said it. It seemed to me from her reaction that Dave didn’t tell her ahead of time he was going to reveal the spoiler.
———————spoilers follow———————
Dave: “How did the premiere go in London. I have seen the film, and I know who dies in the movie, but I won’t.”
SJP [looks away with open mouth]: “Unbelievable.”
Dave: “Sorry, you’re not supposed to - I think people know that somebody dies.”
SJP [still kind of shocked] “Well they do now.
“I’m going to tell you this… We really wanted to give the audience everything they thought they wanted, and everything they didn’t know they want. And yes, all four of us die, but I didn’t want to say anything else… it’s pretty surprising when we die. But the next four women are amazing.”
Damn! I can’t believe Dave did that. This is the first I’ve heard of anyone dying in the film and I read entertainment news all day. I love reading spoilers, though, and I’ll read the whole plot outline on Wikipedia for a favorite show before I get a chance to see it. For a lot of people it’s a major letdown to know what happens before they see a movie or show, though, and Dave should have known better than to say that someone dies in the film. Now I want to see it more, because I really want to know who dies!
Sarah Jessica Parker is shown outside the Late Show yesterday. Thanks to WENN for these photos and Redlasso for the videos.

14 year-old Ali Lohan was on David Letterman last night to promote her new reality show “Living Lohan.” She was cute, well spoken and comfortable on stage although she did wear a lot of makeup for a 14 year-old. She said they’re doing the show “to set the record straight and we’re not just this crazy family, crazy people like to tabloids make us out to be.” She said “we’re just a normal family like any other family in America.”
Dave asked Ali if she was close with Lindsay, and she said “she’s like my best friend.” She refused to say whether Lindsay would make an appearance on the show and said “you’ll have to watch.”
Ali called herself a “singer and actress” and said she’s working on her latest album this summer.
Dave asked Ali if she visits her sister on set, and she said she’s always done that, and “that’s what inspired me to do what she does.” She said when she was three she used to run up to her sister on set when she was filming “Parent Trap” and they had to do a lot of takes because she was always interrupting.
Ali talked about her five dogs, including a puppy that’s a “micro mini Maltese.” They showed what they said was the dog in the green room, but it was just a computer-generated image to make her dog look tiny. Ali said her little Maltese, Buddy, has low blood sugar.
Dave said “getting back to the show will there be a lot of drama, a lot of tension, a lot of fighting, a lto of intrigue?” and Ali said “Yeah, we’re just like a normal family so whatever.”
At the end of the interview, Dave closed by saying “Lindsay Lohan” everyone, and then corrected himself. It seemed to me like it was a mistake and not a planned joke. It’s a telling slip, considering how much Ali says she wants to be like her sister. Maybe Ali can pick up Lindsay’s career where she dropped it on the floor when she got distracted by vodka and overpriced purses.
The videos are below and there’s also one of an Access Hollywood interview with Dina and Ali. Dina Lohan is a piece of work and it’s surprising how normal Ali seems.
Here’s the part where Dave calls Ali “Lindsay”
And here’s the full interview:
And an interview on “Showbiz Tonight” with Ali and Dina Lohan. Dina sure seems defensive and snotty.
21 year-old Transformers star Shia LaBeouf was on David Letterman on Monday night and he explained his drunken Walgreen’s arrest. It was an hysterical story involving three visits to the drug store, two outfit changes, zit cream and cigarettes he forgot to buy after the first two visits in which the security guard made fun of him and distracted him. The video of the interview is below but in case you can’t watch it here’s the recap and a transcript.
The story goes that Shia was drunk and went to the drug store near his hotel to get some cigarettes. On the way down in the elevator he felt a zit forming on his forehead and decided to get some cream for it. When he was in the cosmetics aisle picking up the Clearasil, the security guard started laughing at him and he got pissed off and forgot his cigarettes. He decided to change his outfit and went back and got mocked again by the same guy. He again forgot the cigarettes and just came away with some gummi bears in his messed up state. The third time, in another outfit, is when he got into a mild confrontation with the guy, and got tackled by another security guard and arrested:
“So I go to Walgreen’s and I go to the cosmetic aisle,” LaBeouf recalled, “and I see the security guard and he’s looking at me, four in the morning, pretty disheveled, pretty messed up on the special magic sauce. And I get the pimple cream, and he’s looking at me, he’s kinda giggling to himself, and now I’m starting to feel like, `What? It’s really not that funny, guy, you know?’”
A bashful LaBeouf went back to his hotel and realized he’d forgotten to buy the smokes. The actor says he returned to Walgreen’s wearing different clothes: “I’m going, `Well, now the guy saw me, now what am I gonna do?’ So I do an outfit change.”
LaBeouf said the security guard noticed and said, “Hey, nice outfit,” to which he retorted: “Yeah, nice outfit to you, too.”
LaBeouf said he accidentally backed into the candy aisle, but tried to play it off like he did it on purpose. “So I grabbed these gummy bears, and I’m like, `yeah, THESE,’” he recalled.
He said he purchased the sweets _ and, once again, left without buying cigarettes. So he threw on a hooded sweatshirt and returned to the store a third time.
“I go back down, I got the hoodie on, he goes, `Really? Really? Really?’ And I’m like, `Yeah, really!’ He goes, `Well, what are you doing here?’ And I’m like, `Well buddy, it’s your worst nightmare,’” LaBeouf said.
He said at that point, another security guard put him in plastic handcuffs and took him to the ground, said LaBeouf, calling himself a “moron.”
LaBeouf was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing; the next day, Labeouf’s smiling mug shot splashed across Internet.
“It was a photo shoot, (the officer’s) like, ‘Let me take like 14 mug shots,’” LaBeouf said.
Prosecutors later dropped charges because Walgreen Co. and a security company indicated they didn’t want to continue the case.
That was stupid, but LaBeouf owed up to it and he was damn funny on Letterman. Watch the video below if you’re able to, because you’ll be laughing out loud. He’s a young guy and has this geeky voice that sounds like he just passed puberty and is still fighting with it, but he has a great sense of humor and can sure tell a story.
Shia LaBeouf will next appear in Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull with Harrison Ford. It is out in the US on May 22.
Thanks to E! Online for the video below, and to WENN for these photos of Shia yesterday outside Letterman.
Paris Hilton was on The Late Show last night for the first time since David Letterman gave her a hard time about her jail experience. Letterman really grilled her about her 45 day jail stint during her last appearance in October, 2007 and she dealt with it pretty well but you could tell that the extensive questioning bothered her. She got a little misty-eyed and she told him to move on in the conversation several times. This time Dave wasn’t any easier on Paris and openly mocked her, her upcoming reality show and the latest products she’s hocking. She remained part oblivious and part Paris the saleswoman and laughed and smiled through it all.
On her reality show
Paris said she will be staying in the house with the contestants on her “Paris Hilton’s my new best friend” MTV reality show, and Dave said “you’re going to be staying in the house with these common people for six week?” and she answered “I’m excited.”
Dave asked “You don’t actually believe that the person who wins will be your best friend, do you?” and she said that Nicole Richie has been her best friend since they were two, so she’s her number one best friend, but that she’s looking forward to meeting new people.
Dave joked “I envision…. the show has wrapped, you have a 20 minute party, you hop in the limo and bang you’re gone.”
“No, I will be friends with them.”
On wanting to be Nicole Richie’s sister in law
Dave asked Paris if she would like a baby like Nicole Richie and she said “definitely” that she wanted a family.
Dave said he heard that the father of Nicole’s baby is the brother of Paris’ boyfriend and she said “they’re twins… we’re like sisters and they’re twins so it works out well.”
Dave asked “Can you imagine if everyone got married and had kids and this were a family and stuff, you two would be sister in laws. Do you talk about that?”
“Yeah we do talk about it.” Then Paris launched into her Benji mantra: “I’m so happy, I’m so in love, and I know I want to spend the rest of my life…” [Dave interrupts]
On how she met Benji
“We’ve actually been friends for over six years now and then when [Nicole] had Harlow I started going over to the house and… we just got a little crush on each other and totally fell in love.”
Dave showed a picture of Benji singing with his mouth open and he was wearing a vest but Dave joked that he liked his jacket, which was a reference to his sleeve-like tattoos.
He said “I don’t know.. I’m happy for you, but I don’t know. Does this thing have legs?”
Paris said, “we’re so happy. I know I want to be with him forever.”
They showed Benji backstage in the green room wearing a black fedora and sunglasses. He waved at the camera.
On her champagne in a can
Dave made fun of Paris’ Proseco in a can, which isn’t available in the US yet, but is all over Germany, and when Paris said it was “sexy” he said “sexy, champagne in a can… a quart of bud in a paper bag is sexy too.” Dave shook it up and tried to get it to explode but it only fizzed. He tried again and it spurted a little but didn’t really pop like he wanted it to. The champagne was as impervious as Paris.
On her hair extension line
After the break she showed her Clipin’ Go, which is at Sally’s beauty. He asked if it was real hair, and she said that was microfiber, but they also do the real extensions. He asked “is it expensive?” and she said “No, it’s only $79″ and Dave sputtered and faked like that was a fortune. He said “how many cans of champagne do you have to drink before you buy this?”
Then a big burly guy came out from the back wearing the black version and to Paris’ credit it looked like a real mullet.
On her dog clothing line
Letterman showed some of Paris’ dog clothes. She said “I do a line with Little Lilly,” and Dave quipped “Ladies and gentlemen, and you wonder why the rest of the world hates us. There’s your answer right there.” The dog outfit Dave showed was actually the same one that Christina Ricci’s dog was wearing in a photo shown on the Jimmy Kimmel show on Wednesday. It had a faux shirt collar with lipstick on it.
Dave asked “how much is this?” She answered “like $40.”
Paris said she’ll be going on tour with her boyfriend this summer, and Dave asked “forever? You think this is forever?” in a reference to what she said about Benji earlier. She said “He is the most loyal, honest incredible person in the world and I feel just blessed to have found him. He’s changed my life.”
Say what you will about Paris but she really is good at slapping her name on cheap crap and selling it, and she sure can take a beating.
Here are the videos:

Obama read the top ten list on David Letterman last night, which was the “Top Ten Surprising Facts about Barack Obama.” Obama was on via satellite and recited the list with a smile, which was predictably cheesy but well delivered:
10. My first act as president will be to stop the fighting between Lauren and Heidi on “The Hills”
9. In the Illinois primary, I accidentally voted for Kucinich
8. When I tell my kids to clean their room, I finish with, “I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message”
7. Throughout high school, I was consistently voted “Barackiest”
6. Earlier today I bowled a 39
5. I have canceled all my appearances the day the “Sex and The City” movie opens
4. It’s the birth place of Fred Astaire (Sorry, that’s a surprising fun fact about Omaha)
3. We are tirelessly working to get the endorsement of Kentucky Derby favorite Colonel John
2. This has nothing to do with the Top Ten, but what the heck is up with Paula Abdul?
1. I have not slept since October
[From CBS.com]
Obama is gradually getting positive press again after a controversy involving his pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who spouted ridiculous conspiracy theories in sermons leaked online and was generally mocked in the media. Obama has denounced Wright’s statements after initially hoping that the issue would die down on its own. He is now neck and neck with has about a 200 delegate lead over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary after a wider early lead.
Hillary was on The O’Reilly Factor on Fox yesterday, and she said that voters would decide if the Rev. Wright controversy mattered to them. She called Wright’s remarks “offensive and outrageous.”
Obama’s segment starts at about a minute into the clip below:
Heidi Montag and her giant teeth were on the Late Show last night. She wore a pink slip dress that looked like lingerie and explained the plot of her faux reality show, The Hills. She talked about her feud with Lauren Conrad and about Lauren’s sex tape with Jason Wahler, which she says exists even though Lauren tried to make it seem like she made it up.
Dave asked “How much of this is actual and how much is professional wrestling?”
Heidi answered “I wish it was professional wrestling because then we’d be the smartest cast ever”
Dave showed the Rolling Stone cover featuring all The Hills women, and Heidi said that they weren’t Photoshopped together and that “unfortunately we were all there.” She said that everyone else had a good time and that she just wanted to get out of there.
As for when she’s going to marry Spencer, Heidi said she’s young now and seemed to suggest that it will be a while.
The thing that bothered me about the interview is that Dave took the whole thing so seriously while Heidi blathered on about her feud with Lauren and about how Lauren shouldn’t tell her who to date. He made a few good natured jokes but he really didn’t challenge her or put her down like I would have liked to have seen. Heidi has those awful songs out and a new trashy clothing line and Dave didn’t mention either of those things, probably because her handlers told him they were off limits.
Can you guys please explain to me why these Hills characters are everywhere all of a sudden? I know this is a popular show for MTV but from what I’ve seen it’s just a poorly acted soap opera with reality elements. I’ve really been trying to ignore these people, and I don’t cover their petty little fights because it all seems like high school bullshit to me. It’s almost impossible to avoid them, though, and they seem to have weasled their way into popular culture. I just hope this trend fades as quickly as it seems to have begun.

Gwyneth Paltrow was on the Late Show with David Letterman last night and I have to give her credit for giving a fun interview that was interesting and light. I tend to vilify the woman for comments she made years ago disparaging Americans, but she came across as down to earth, friendly and kind. She told a self-deprecating story without it being an act, and you can also tell she genuinely loves her kids.
On having a boy and a girl who fight
Paltrow has Moses, 2, and Apple, who will be 4 in May.
“It’s a very good age difference. Boys and girls are very fundamentally different, aren’t they?
“They play so differently. She’s quiet and she’s imaginative and she’s very verbal. She likes to sit with her things and build houses and hotels for her dolls, and then my son will just come and thrash the hell out of everything she’s doing. And if he can inflict pain on her while he’s thrashing then even better. Then she gets furious and says that she’s antagonizing her… but he’s very sweet… we call him our ’sensitive thug.’ It’s a line from a Jay-Z song and it fits him perfectly.
“She’s [Apple] finally starting to give it back to him, but in a very female under the radar way… I’m very proud.”
Dave: “The energy just must be great. It’s a combination of great and bedlam, but it’s a good kind of bedlam.”
“It’s the best. It just makes life worth living, you know.”
On not seeing Ironman because they wouldn’t give her a DVD
Dave: “Ironman, tremendous movie by the way. Have you seen it?”
“No, I haven’t seen it… they wouldn’t give me a DVD, because I am an Internet pirate.”
Dave: “Seems to me like you ought to have seen it though.”
“I know, and everyone seems to really like it. And I have no idea what I’m talking about.”
On breaking her knee on the set of Ironman, calls herself a “moron”
Dave joked about how director Jon Favreau was in a lot of scenes, and Gwyneth said it was great working with someone who was also an actor because he understood what they were doing.
Dave: “When you injured yourself, how did he [Favreau] handle that?”
“Well, I broke my knee, because I’m a moron and I always bash into things by accident. It’s true. I’ve broken my toes like 30 times. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
“Say there’s a coffee table that’s been there for 8 years and I know exactly where it is. One day I’ll kinda not know it’s there and break my toe.
“So in my usual stupidity I managed to bash my knee on something, and it really hurt, and I kept kind of exercising and running in the film, and it started to really expand.
“This one day I’m doing a scene where I’m running away from Iron Monger… I said to Jon ‘My knee is really really hurting I don’t know how many times I can do this’ and he was like ‘Oh my God these actresses with their… ‘ He was kind of rolling his eyes like ‘You’re fine.’
“I ended up going to the doctor and I had such a bad fracture I had to have surgery the next day, and so I felt very smug and he apologized” [laughs]
Gwyneth touches Dave’s knee and he makes silly noises
Dave asked Gwyneth what part of her knee she injured and she touched his knee to show him and he started making goofy noises. That part is 5:50 into the first video below. Gwyneth said she “fractured the tibial…” and that she had arthroscopic surgery and they put cement in there. She said it was “bone cement, not off a building site.”
As for how she’s recovered, she said her leg still doesn’t feel totally normal and that she has a weird nerve problem and her legs don’t feel the same. “If I get a leg wax, one side hurts a lot more than the other side,” she explained and was laughing with Dave about it.
Then Gwyneth talked about her role in Iron Man, in which she plays a personal assistant to Robert Downey Jr.’s character. She said she had a lot of fun with it and hopes they make a sequel.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised with her interview and have a much better opinion of her after having watched it.
Here’s part 1 of Gwyneth Paltrow on the Late Show on 4/28/08
And part 2:
Gwyneth Paltrow is shown outside The Late Show yesterday, thanks to WENN. She’s wearing wild shoes again.
We’re pretty much all Obama fans at Celebitchy, but I have to say I kind of like John McCain. I wouldn’t vote for a guy who would keep the troops in Iraq probably indefinitely, but I’ve often wondered what would have happened if McCain had secured the Republican nomination instead of Bush in 2000. He’s a lot more moderate and seems a hell of lot less obstinate. He’s also a cancer survivor, a decorated war hero who spent five and a half years in a POW camp and he has over 20 years experience as a senator. I think it’s not much of a logical leap to assume that the fate of America and the entire world would have been a lot rosier post 9/11 under McCain instead of Bush Jr. My response to a possible McCain presidency is a shrug, and we’ve certainly seen that there are much worse things that could happen.
We covered Obama on “The View” and Hillary on “Saturday Night Live,” so it’s only fair that we give McCain some coverage for his talkshow circuit interviews too. He was on The Late Show with David Letterman on Tuesday night and he managed to poke fun at himself and generally come off as the decent guy he is. Damn him for being likable.
McCain walked on during Letterman’s monologue and responded to some jokes Letterman made about him. Letterman said McCain was like an old dude who worked at a hardware store and then McCain said Dave looked like a threat to society:
During Dave’s monologue, he goes off in the familiar tangent about Senator McCain: “How about that John McCain? McCain looks like the guy at the hardware store who makes the keys.
McCain looks like a guy who can’t stop talking about how well his tomatoes are doing.
McCain looks like a guy who goes out to but turpentine.
He looks like a guy who keeps growing hair out of new places.
McCain looks a guy who points out the spots they missed at the car wash.”
And then . . . . Senator John McCain walks out and stands beside Dave.
McCain: “You think that stuff’s pretty funny, don’t you?
Well, you look like a guy whose laptop would be seized by authorities.
You look like a guy caught smuggling reptiles in his pants.
You look like a guy who neighbors later say, ‘mostly kept to himself.’
You look like the night manager of a creepy motel.
You look like a guy who enjoys getting into a hot tub and watching his swim trunks inflate.”
And then he exits. Paul and the band play “Soldier Boy.”
And during his interview later in the show, McCain outlined his position on different issues that are important to the country, namely the economy and Iraq:
The Senator is looking forward to becoming President for many reasons; one being so he can see himself on “Great Moments in Presidential Speeches” every night.
With a camera on you 24/7, it’s not too surprising to find verbal screw-ups of a President from time to time. But with GW, it’s so easy.
Issues discussed:
The economy
– the problems are very serious
– millions in danger of losing their homes
– it’s important to get the lenders and the borrowers together to make a plan on how to fix their problem. A solution will benefit both.
– We need to re-educate our out-of-work workforce. We need to redesign our education system to fit today’s needs.
The War in Iraq
- The war itself was not a mistake, but it has been mismanaged.
- Any troop withdrawal should be driven by events on the ground and not by politics
Our respect around the world
- it’s down now, but it will come back. For example, the new France president Sarkozy is a big supporter of the United States
And the Senator promises to run a civil, clean campaign without the attacks and name-calling. It’s what the American people want and expect. Dave differs on this. The more attacks and dirty tricks in the campaign, the better. Dave can’t get enough of the good stuff like that.
In my opinion, America definitely needs the reform that would come with Obama as president. I’m not for Hillary and think she should step down after that bullshit Bosnia sniper story. She still has a lot of support and many people admire her stance on important issues and think she has the experience to effective run the country. In my opinion she’s only dividing the party, but time will tell. McCain isn’t a terrible alternative though. He wouldn’t make a bad president, I just don’t think he’d make enough of the changes the country so badly needs. It’s too bad he’s likable and normal though.
