Leonardo DiCaprio is said to have no respect for the way Orland Bloom is handling his career. DiCaprio supposedly sneers at Bloom’s attempt to capitalize on his heartthrob status by taking roles as hot studs in all his latest films.

DiCaprio stepped away from his image as a screen idol after Titanic and stuck to more meaty roles that earned him a Golden Globe and two Oscar nominations.

Bloom is content to stick to what works and is earning big box office revenue which may be making DiCaprio kind of jealous:

Although Orlando has struck gold with the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, insiders say he hasn’t won any respect from Leo. “[After Titanic] Leo turned his back on trying to be marketed as eye candy, and he doesn’t hold a lot of love for actorswho go that route,” a friend of Leo tells Star. Leo, who’s currently starring in the politically loaded thriller Blood Diamond,, “thinks that if someone like Orlando landed his… role, [producers] would have had him unclothed and rolling around in bed in about five seconds,” the friend laughs. “Because Orlando’s movies have made triple what Leo’s movies have made, Leo can’t figure out why Orlando won’t stand up for himself and demad more serious movies.” Adds the friend: “Leo wants to leave a bigger mark on the world than just some guy whose picture hangs on a 13-year-old girl’s wall.”

Orlando doesn’t demand serious movies because he’s making a mint capilatilizing on his sex appeal. It sounds like Leonardo is pissed that he’s no longer seen as a young hottie like Orlando. He may have chosen a career of serious films, but he probably misses girls drooling over him like they once did.

Star magazine is reporting the unsurprising news that Jennifer Aniston has no intention of sitting down with Angelina Jolie for a little heart to heart. Angelina mentioned in a recent interview that she would love to have a little chat with Aniston. She claimed that nothing happened between her and Brad while they were filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but her comments that Brad was married to his “best friend” must have seemed like a backhanded dig to Aniston, who is said to have tried to get over the onslaught of news about her ex and his gorgeous fertile partner by doing yoga and bawling.

Now Star points out that Angelina requested several meetings with Aniston before that were all turned down. They quote a psychologist who says that Angelina is just trying to get over her man-stealing guilt by extending a PR olive branch to Aniston.

They’re really just stating the obvious, and might not have any insider information:

Apparently Angelina’s comments were particularly infuriating because the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star had forgotten to mention that Jen had already rebuffed several previous attempts at reconciliation! “Jen says Angelina could have told Vogue that she had already made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with her,” says the source.

Angelina’s comments, including her claim that she and Brad Pitt, 43, were just “very, very good friends” during filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and only became lovers after he and Jen had separated, have put Aniston in a funk as the holidays approach, the source tells Star. “Angelina has opened up some old wounds with Jen, wounds she thought had healed,” the source tells Star. “It seems like revisionist history to her to paint this picture of how Angelina and Brad got together. Jen says a lot of it is plain bull!”

[Star magazine print edition, January 1, 2007]

The article goes on to say that Aniston is perplexed that Angelina is bringing up all this old shit. They quote a psychologist who says that “There is a manipulative aspect on Angelina’s part in requesting this sit-down. Angelina wants to alleviate her guilt. It’s better for Jen to move on than to forgive this person. A sit-down isn’t going to help Jen at all.”

Jen is said to be “in a fragile state” now that she’s alone for the holidays. There was speculation that she almost ran into her more recent ex Vince Vaughn at the Beverly Hills Hotel over Christmas, but only Courteney Cox and David Arquette were at the hotel at the same time as Vaughn. Aniston was nowhere to be found.

It does seem really rude of Angelina to request a sit down with Aniston. If my husband left me for someone else unexpectedly I’d steer clear of her too.

These old pictures of Brad and Jen in June 2000 show how much alike they once were. Thanks to SimplyBrad for these pics.

I stepped away from the computer to spend an inordinate amount of time travelling and returned to find another semi-scandal on The View over Rosie’s big mouth. Rosie took the opportunity to cut down and mock Donald Trump after he granted clemency to Miss USA Tara Conner. It seems like the continuation of a long-standing grudge she’s had with the real estate mogul and reality TV star. Rosie said that The Donald wasn’t one to judge anyone’s morals considering that he’s traded in two wives for younger models.

Trump wasted no time issuing a response in which he pointed out repeatedly how fat and disgusting Rosie is, and noted that she’s had it out for him since he publically talked about her failed talk show and magazine. Trump says he’s considering sue her, most likely over her claims that he’s not a self-made man and that he’s a “snake oil salesman.” He said that she’s pretty lucky to have such a hot girlfriend and that he’d send someone over to snatch her away from Rosie.

He had a point with the disgusting thing, but the debate is edging to the lowest common denominator now that both of these clowns are threatening each other. Sure Rosie is heavy, but it’s lame to make someone’s weight the center of your argument. He should have stuck to the facts and not made himself look just as bad by putting her down and saying he’s going to snatch her partner.

Trump also claims that Barbara Walters dislikes Rosie, and recommends that she fire her. I don’t think Rosie’s going to get the boot from The View any time soon. Ratings are up since she joined since everyone is watching to see what crazy shit she’ll spew next.

Here’s Trump’s rebutal to Rosie:

And here’s her response to his response. All she does is point out her girlfriend in the audience and sneer.
It would be nice if this shit would end here, but we’ll be hearing about it well into next year.

Thanks to Best Week Ever for linking these videos.

Pauly Shore was doing his comedy routine on stage at the 8th Street Comedy Club in Odessa, Texas over the weekend when he had to ask some people to stop talking. He stuck to the issue of the hecklers interrupting him, and didn’t get sidetracked and make stupid attacks on them personally like another washed up star from the 90s who’s on the comedy circuit. He just said that they should shut the fuck up.

A big ‘ol man in a giant hat took offense and got up on stage and popped him one, and the whole thing was caught on tape. There’s lots of swearing so it’s NSFW

He called the man white trash afterwards and walked off stage once the security took him away. The guy never should have been allowed to get on stage in the first place. It doesn’t look like Pauly is going back to Odessa any time soon.

Video found through digg on redban.com.

I’m not really buying this news, because The Mirror makes a lot of shit up based on paparazzi pictures. It’s likely that someone saw some pictures of Madge and Guy looking unhappy after leaving a restaurant and invented this dialogue. Maybe it’s true as it’s possible that another diner or one of the staff overheard this. The fact that they lead with how they looked afterwards kind of tips me off that they’re using the photos to make up this story.

Madonna and Guy are said to have fought loudly in a restaurant over how controlling Madonna is:

The couple, just two weeks away from their sixth wedding anniversary, had a furious row at in front of stunned diners at exclusive Italian restaurant Cecconi’s in Mayfair.

Fellow guests were shocked to hear film director Guy, 38, attacking his wife for being so “controlling” all the time. Pop queen Madge, 48, meanwhile looked miffed as she sat at the table toying with her food.

The Lock, Stock … director later emerged stony faced from the London restaurant, while the superstar singer just looked drained.

A customer revealed: “The atmosphere between them was more than frosty. Guy was the one who was raising his voice the most - you couldn’t help but hear what he was saying.

“They were sitting in a corner booth and he was telling her that he’d had enough of her being so controlling all the time and that something had to give.

“Madonna tried to give it back to him, but he would just talk over her. She just seemed really embarrassed. They didn’t enjoy their meal and left after about an hour and a half.”

The row comes less than a week after it emerged the couple were planning to see marriage therapist Tricia Barnes as the cracks deepened in their six-year marriage.

Two months ago the couple were celebrating the adoption of Malawian orphan David Banda.

But despite their devotion to the toddler and children Lourdes, 10, and Rocco, six the marriage is said to have hit an all time low.

An insider said: “Guy and Madonna both dote on David, but her attitude can irritate and upset Guy.

“She drove the whole adoption thing and Guy was just left trailing in her slipstream just nodding and going along with things.

“The bottom line is that Guy sometimes feels he’s not allowed to have an opinion.”

There was a rumor that Madonna wanted another Malawian infant right away and was eyeing a one and a half year-old girl named Jessica. Another couple was said to be in the process of adopting her and was worried that Madonna would snatch her first. That seems to have been put on hold, and it was said that Guy told Madonna that he didn’t support another adoption so soon after they took little Davie home.

Given Madonna’s personality, it’s not that much of a stretch to assume these two are fighting, but I doubt that The Mirror has any insider information in this case. I’ve caught them making up stories based on pictures before, and they’re not that reliable of a source. (What gossip rag is?) They also say that Madonna and Guy left after an hour and a half, which is just about the amount of time it usually takes to have dinner. Why would they add that detail unless they don’t have much else to use for the supposed eyewitness quote?

Madonna is said to have accessorized her evilness by wearing a coat made of 60 widdle chinchillas that evening. She is also working on a new fashion line with H&M called M by Madonna. Her H&M tracksuits failed to sell, so the Swedish retail chain is giving her another chance.

Update: Thanks to Splash News for the new header image of Madonna and Guy on the evening in question. Here’s the fug picture of Madonna that I used for the header image earlier:

Adam Brody was flirting up a storm with Ashlee Simpson at a recent event. Adam is newly single and has been hitting the LA hot spots with his friends after splitting with gorgeous O.C. costar Rachel Bilson. This news from Star makes it seem like he was being flirty with Ashlee, and they were probably just talking, but maybe these two will hook up at some point:

Adam Brody, 27, and Rachel Bilson, 25, are officially over. Adam was spotted with Ashlee Simpson at the Volkswagen Tiguan Concept party in L.A. on November 28. A source tells Star, “Ashlee was giggling up a storm, like she really loved all the attention.” The two seemed infatuated with one another; Brody couldn’t keep his eyes off of her!

[from the Star Magazine e-mail newsletter.]

I might call these two the new couple of Adam couldn’t keep his hands off Ashlee, but maybe he was just staring at her because he was amazed at how much her face has changed recently.

Meanwhile Star also says that Ashlee and Lindsay have made up after their public spat over scumbag Wilmer Valderrama. Lindsay was said to have made sure Ashlee and sister Jessica didn’t get into an MTV party she was hosting. Ashlee later said on The Charlotte Church show that she has a song called “I didn’t steal your boyfriend” which is dedicated to Lindsay. (Part is 2:30 minutes into video clip on the linked post.) Now Ashlee and Lindsay were seen arm and arm on November 9th and Star calls them the latest frenemies. (That’s such a popular word lately although it seems like I just learned it last week.)

Here is Ashlee getting takeout. Thanks to I’m Not Obsessed for these pics.

Yesterday I ran a blind item from a questionable “lawyer’s” blog that claims that Lohan and Paris were once lovers and that’s why they’re fighting in public so much. Remember that myspace hack that allowed people to view comments on private profiles for a window of a few days last month? I saved most everything locally, and thanks to commentor Vix for reminding me that the person presumed to be Paris left a comment joking about a rendevous on what was thought to be Lindsay’s myspace.

In fact, the person said to be Paris was using a myspace icon with a picture of Paris and Lindsay together. Here’s what “BabyTink2″ said on October 17th:

its so sad our secret rendezvous at sky villa saturday is out i think we managed to keep it well hidden considering its now tuesday and its just starting to come out now we gettin good at hiding our love for each other bitch

She also joked around in Lindsay’s myspace comment section about needles and withdrawl, with someone who might have been Hilary Duff making a joke about Strawberry Nesquick:

BabyTink2 [maybe Paris] Oct 17, 2006 4:39 PM

will you hurry up with that needle bitch im gettin withdrawal symptoms lmao

fabulous [maybe Hilary Duff] Oct 17, 2006 4:36 PM

strawberry or banana and paris needs her needles back lmao

[I make no claims that these are actual comments by the people in question, so take it for what it is.]

Regardless of whether Paris and Lindsay were getting it on, they seem to have been good friends at that time since maybe-Paris was using an icon of the two of them together. Something happened that prompted their feud.

There’s this dubious “celebrity lawyer’s” blog that posts blind items that are getting picked up by Oh No They Didn’t. One of the blind items blatantly suggests that Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton were lovers and that Paris rebuffed Lindsay, leading to all their spats lately. Most commentors think it’s bullshit, but it would explain a lot if it was true:

DEVELOPING — BLIND ITEM OF THE YEAR — I keep trying to type this and I just cannot believe what the caller said. They definitely would know, but it is still unbelievable.

When this female celebrity (#1) is arguing with another female celebrity or two it has always been assumed that the argument pertained to boyfriends or some trivial matter.

As one of the female celebrities (#2) continues to go through personal problems, she is reaching out to friends with the story that she is involved in an on again and off again relationship with the other female celebrity (#1).

And that what started out as a laugh became love for celeb #2 while celeb #1 preys on those emotions and treats #2 as a plaything when she needs someone which is causing #2 to spiral out of control. — STAY TUNED –

This same blogger also caused a stir recently with a more difficult blind item about a female pop star who has been pulling a Milli Vanilli since 2000. I think it’s J.Lo, if it’s even true.

Regardless Paris and Lohan are off again, if you keep track of such things. Life & Style reports that they fought at Hyde on Monday night, with Lindsay confronting Paris right after she was making out with Stavros in front of everyone. Was she jealous perhaps?

Lindsay’s mom got involved and yelled at Stavros and Paris even fell down.

As a bespectacled Brit sat subdued in a corner booth for most of the night, Paris did what she does best: She made out with her boy toy of the minute, Stavros Niarchos, and fought with Lindsay, an insider tells Life & Style.

Shortly after Stavros embraced Paris, twirled her around and planted an endless lip-lock on her — the argument began between Paris and Linds, who has canoodled with Stavros in the past.

The girls screamed at each other until Britney stepped in to fix the situation with the promise of nicotine.

“Paris,” she told her new mentor, “let’s go smoke a cig and calm down.”

A crisis was averted — until Lindsay’s mom, Dina Lohan, decided to stick her nose into the situation by strutting over to Stavros and cornering him.

Soon after, he stomped over to Paris, grabbed her by the arm and demanded they leave. But Paris wasn’t ready. She pulled her arm back, lost her footing and ate pavement!

At that point, the Lohans had had enough and fled out the back door. Soon after, Paris, Britney and Stavros did the same and returned to Paris’ crib, where hordes of paparazzi, police and a helicopter were all lying in wait.

And if there hadn’t been enough high school drama for one evening, Paris began chanting “Firecrotch” as she exited her car. She then capped off her performance with an expletive about Lindsay.

The timing certainly seems right for Lindsay to have been jealous of Paris and Stavros’ PDA. I read somewhere else that Paris called Lohan a “coked-out whore.”

Over the weekend Lindsay approached videotaping paparazzi to publically declare that Paris hit her with a drink at a party, but then later said Paris was “her best friend” and that people were “spreading lies.” It would not surprise me if these two were bumping uglies, but given how much I’ve seen of Britney and Lindsay’s girl parts lately I don’t want to think about it.

Britney Spears was supposed to host the Billboard music awards in Vegas with Paris Hilton next week, and their people were in negotiations for it, but Britney pulled out with no explanation.

Speculation is rampant that Britney has soured on Paris, but the more likely explanation is that someone took her aside and told her to get her shit together, put on some panties, and stay at home with her kids for a couple of nights. Making a scheduled public appearance with Paris will only remind everyone of the three separate sets of punane-baring pictures of Britney that are floating around on the web. (If you don’t believe me that she did it three different times, just look at the clothes she’s wearing in each picture series linked above.)

After nearly a week of clubbing, partying and shopping in LA with new BFF, Paris Hilton, Us has learned exclusively that Britney Spears has abruptly pulled out of co-hosting with the heiress on the Fox Billboard Music Awards, scheduled to air live on December 4.

“She pulled out,” confirms a source with Fox. “She didn’t give a reason.”

The source tells Us that Hilton is still a possible host despite losing Spears as a sidekick. Other sources confirm that as recent as this morning, agents for both Hilton and Spears were hashing out the final terms of the contract, but at 5pm today, Spears had backed out of negotiations.

“We really don’t know the reason. But we’re disappointed she backed out.” says a Fox source.

Brad Garrett, the big guy from “Everybody Loves Raymond” is the potential replacement for Paris and Britney, so it’s not like it’s a prestigious hosting gig. Paris may also host solo.

Why are all these lesser music awards using inexperienced hosts like Lindsay and Paris? Maybe no one watches them, but a 20-something celebrity known for her skill in partying and shopping is not a good choice to host an awards show.

Britney was seen leaving a restaurant on Monday night with a fur coat on and a wine glass in her hand before she got in her car and had trouble finding the ignition. She wore a yellow knit cap to hide her shedding extensions and had glasses on in a vain attempt to look studious. She was photographed at some other point that night with an orange tank top on and no bra.

Meanwhile Paris, Britney and Lohan are no longer the three slutsketeers after Paris and Lohan are said to have fought it out at Hyde Monday night. Paris is said to have told Lohan “you’re a fucking coked-out whore; don’t ever say you’re my friend again!” with Lohan leaving all upset.

Oh boo hoo. Go buy some more sex toys and get photographed again Lohan. That coochie-showing trick is completely old. Or maybe you could visit a library or a book store. That might be a good way to get some attention.

Britney actually stayed home last night, Tuesday, as none of the paparazzi websites have pictures of her out. Or maybe they were all too freaking tired to keep up with her.

Here are photos of Paris, Britney and Lindsay on Monday. Lindsay is seen with a pair of $1,000 diamond-studded handcuffs since the help is so unreliable at keeping her men by her side. Pictures from Splash News Online.

Rachel Zoe issued a response to the news that Nicole Richie fired her as her stylist, basically saying that they’re no longer friends. She kind of couched it in a lot of flowery PR-speak, so it’s hard to tell, but there are some mild disses in there:

Rachel issued the following statement to TMZ: “There has been a lot of speculation as to the cause of my parting with client Nicole Richie. The tabloid reports have no merit. After trying to be a good friend to Nicole, we made a mutual decision to sever our working relationship. Changes are inevitable in any business relationship. I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful life, I have been married for 10 years and have been a stylist for more than 15 years and am lucky to work with such a diverse group of women of all shapes and sizes that inspire me everyday. I have nothing but love for Nicole and wish her only health and happiness.”

Nicole wasn’t having that, and she posted the following “blind item” on her myspace, basically saying that Zoe has an eating disorder and has tried to make it seem as if Nicole is the one with the problem, not her:

BLIND ITEM:
What 35 year old raisin face whispers her order of 3 peices of asparagus for dinner at Chateau everynight, and hides her deathly disorder by pointing the finger at me, and used her last paycheck I wrote her to pay for a publisist instead of a nutritionist?
HINT: Her nickname is lettucecup…

[via ONTD]

I really like the way she wrote that “whispers her order” and “deathly disorder.” She spelled publicist wrong, though. She would make a decent blogger.

Rumor had it that Zoe was dealing drugs to her “girls” and that she encourages them to be stick-thin so that they’ll fit into the tiny samples she gets from designers.

Whatever transpired, Nicole wants everyone to know that she’s over it and that Zoe is the one with an eating disorder, not her. Get to a size six, Nicole, and maybe we’ll believe you.

Nicole is looking good, but maybe she does need some fashion advice, because this Beetlejuice outfit is just not doing it. At least she’s keeping it under wraps though, which is more than I can say for Paris’ other “friends.”
