Lindsay Lohan axed from Manson film

Poor Lindsay Lohan. It must really suck to have karma bite you on the ass. La Lohan has been acting like a drunken spoiled brat for the last several years, and it’s finally getting the best of her. She hasn’t had a successful decent movie since Mean Girls, and hasn’t gotten any press for doing anything good since about that time. You never hear anyone say, “Lindsay Lohan did such a nice _______.” You do hear them say, “Lindsay Lohan ran over a guy’s foot,” and “Lindsay Lohan stole a random girl’s $11,000 fur coat.” I’m pretty sure next week you’ll hear, “Lindsay Lohan went to Disneyland and kicked Donald Duck in the crotch, just to see him cry.”

Lohan’s reputation as a poor actress with an even poorer work ethic has finally caught up with her. She’s been un-attached from the Charles Manson film she was scheduled to shoot – all because no one wanted to work with her – even no-name celebs.

Lohan has been un-attached from the independent feature The Manson Girls, written and to be directed by Matthew Bright, and produced by Elie Samaha, Donald Kushner, and Brad Wyman through Junction Films. Production was slated to commence in early July for five weeks in Los Angeles, and everybody was pleased that Lohan was attached back in March. (Some may, or may not, view this true life crime film for her as hitting bottom. Lindsay was to play the part of Nancy Pitman, a pampered surfer girl who became enthralled with Charlie Manson.)

But people associated with the movie told agents that Lohan quickly became more of a deficit than an asset when they discovered that they couldn’t find any name actresses who wanted to co-star with her. (And even some name actors…) So now Lindsay is off the pic — but not for the excuses being circulated. Let this be a lesson… Behaving badly may get you on the covers of celebrity-obsessed mags and tabloids. But Hollywood won’t tolerate your shit and shouldn’t.

[From Deadline Hollywood Daily]

Rush & Molloy also mentioned that after she was dropped from the film, Lohan was spotted downing tequila shots with Lauren Conrad. Getting publicly plastered with a “reality” T.V. star? I’m not sure who should be more embarrassed to be seen with who here. You’d think reality TV actresses would be the lowest on the Hollywood food chain… but I’m pretty sure that Lohan is forevermore at the bottom of any list anyone could make.

Here’s Lohan leaving a meeting with the producers of a new film ‘Labor Pains’ in Los Angeles yesterday. Wonder how long before they “un-attach” her from their film. Images thanks to WENN.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton turns 30; people pretend to care


Perez Hilton, the swishy, often blue-haired gossip blogger who has as many enemies as he does fans, threw himself a bash for his 30th birthday. Dubbed his “Quinceañera (Part 2),” the party included performances by the Pussycat Dolls and was attended by celebs such as Marc Jacobs, Amanda Bynes and Jerry O’Connell, as well as a gaggle of has-beens and annoying reality show stars. My guess is, either they wanted Perez to mention them on his blog, or they want to make sure he says something nice about them and not draw rude lines on their photos. Perez, ever the shameless self promoter, detailed the party this morning– using the royal “We,” of course– on his blog.

We had asked Pussycat Dolls founder and creative director Robin Antin to put together a special “Perez Dolls” for our big 30th birthday bash.

She had an audition at the Millennium Complex, Britney’s fave, and hundreds of dancers showed up. That’s what we were expecting.

Perez got the surprise of his life when The Pussycat Dolls appeared on stage at our party this past weekend.

He had NO idea!

And, he was especially shocked that lead Doll Nicole Scherzinger agreed to do it, and, we’re told, she was very excited about.

“I have been lucky enough to be featured on PerezHilton.com on several occasions,” said Nicole. “When you’ve reached my stature, perhaps you too can have cum dripping out of your mouth,” she joked.

LOVED it!

[From Perez Hilton.com]

I love how that item was written to make us think that Perez himself wasn’t writing it. The party was sponsored by a variety of advertisers, including, hilariously enough, Burger King and KY lubricant. Perez, dressed all in white and looking more like a deranged ice cream man than a celeb, posed with The King, that creepy mascot from Burger King commercials. Supposedly, Perez has been on a diet with the goal of looking svelte and fierce for his birthday. Mission not accomplished.

Note by Celebitchy: If I made 1/10th or what Perez does in a year I would be elated. The guy seems like a douche of the highest degree, but he also works super hard and does break some exclusives despite his willingness to take credit for a lot of other people’s work. It’s not easy being a gossip blogger, and Perez does deserve some kudos for putting his fat face out there. Although he could be called a fame whore for it too.

I would also like to say that Jerry O’Connell is teh sex.

Shown at Perez Hilton’s birthday party are Jerry O’Connell, Marc Jacobs and Austin A, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Amanda Bynes, Dannii Minogue, Nick Cannon, Khloe Kardashian, Harvey Levin of TMZ, Candis Cayne, and DJ AM. Thanks to PRPhotos.

Madonna & Prince to host competing Oscar parties

alo-006062.jpg

Vanity Fair canceled their Oscar party a month ago. This was a huge deal in Hollywood, as that party was THE party of the Oscars. It was very “seen and be seen.” Say that in a snooty voice and you get the picture. If you spent too much time at any other party, you weren’t someone to be bothered with. Vanity Fair did this for two reasons, one official, and one not so much. The official spiel was that they were doing it in solidarity with the (then) striking writers. The unofficial reason was that everyone assumed the Oscars would either be canceled, announced in a press conference format, or held in the usual way but without writers so it would really, really suck. And though the writers are back, the party is still canceled. So what will our dear celebs do to keep themselves entertained and pleasantly drunk? Well luckily Madonna and Prince are hosting competing parties that are supposedly very A-list. Talk about a battle of the divas.

One contender to fill this black-tie social vacuum is the party Madonna, her manager Guy Oseary and Demi Moore have put together at the last minute.

Whether this affair becomes an annual event hasn’t been decided.

The party, to be held in a home in the Westside hills, will begin around 9 p.m. A few hundred people are invited, although this number will probably expand. One person who’s seen the guest list said, “Everybody’s on it. It gives the A-list Vanity Fair crowd someplace to go to. It will probably be pared down to where it’s 85% talent, not a lot of suits.”

But even if this party skims off some of the celebrity cream, the Governors Ball will still be the major draw. “It’s the biggest game in town,” said one exec. “This is going to put the glamour back into the ball.”

[From Variety]

But just in case you’re not a fan of Madonna or Demi, there’s always Prince’s backup party. Though something tells me if you don’t like Madge, you probably don’t like Prince either. No word on the dress for the event, though I’m guessing it’s something hokey like “Purple Tie.”

The diminutive divo has quietly cornered the market on exclusive awards parties. One source familiar with the RSVP list says names include “Katie and Tom, Will Smith, Salma and Penelope.”

While previous parties have been held in hotel suites, this year’s will take place at Prince’s new home in Benedict Canyon. But not everyone has scored a golden ticket.

Leven Rambin gushed at the W magazine party at Sunset Tower that she had just been invited. (And for more on her controversial new role in “Lipstick Jungle,” check out my Oscars blog.)

But across town at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Academy Award nominee Ruby Dee was being honored by Black Enterprise magazine, the party was news to her.

[From Gatecrasher]

Oooohh, the drama! How can everyone’s party really be the most exclusive? Everyone claims they’re only inviting the A-list, yet there’s hundreds of people coming – they can’t all be A. Somehow Tara Reid always ends up at one of those things, which instantly demotes the whole fiesta down to C-list. In other (happy) Oscar news, Paris Hilton has been banned this year, as confirmed by multiple media outlets. Supposedly she “cried hot, salty tears” according to an oft-quoted source. Doesn’t that just make you feel like all is right with the world?

Paris Hilton’s burlesque birthday


I thought Paris Hilton already celebrated her 27th birthday by dressing like a My Little Pony in remembrance of her childhood and less penile-looking pre-plastic surgery nose, but she decided to have yet another blow out, with blow being the operative word. She donned her Halloween costume of choice and dressed like a slutty policewoman to perform with the Pussycat Dolls burlesque troupe in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Paris also graced the gaping crowd with a performance in a giant champagne class while wearing a white sparkly bodice and feather boa. That far-away look in her half-lidded eyes as she groped herself is more evocative of Anna Nicole than Marilyn Monroe. She’s got to be pissed that Lohan stole her thunder with a topless photo shoot that just came out today. Just get more naked next time, Paris. People will pay more attention to you once you take more clothes off.

Here’s the video, thanks to TMZ. She looks like she’s posing for a photo shoot, not stripping for a crowd. Dita Von Teese would have some advice to give her under the guise of being helpful, but with a tone of disdain at how much she’s sully the art:

Paris was seen making out with newly-divorced Travis Barker at a club over the weekend. The first time she was spotted with the tattooed reality star and drummer, his estranged wife Shanna Moakler got mighty pissed and got into a screaming match with Paris. Now that they’re really divorced she doesn’t have much to scream about. We’ll leave that to Dita once she sees Paris’ lackluster performance.

Paris Hilton to host Nicole Richie’s baby shower


There was a story that Nicole Richie wasn’t going to invite Paris Hilton to her planned (and postponed) wedding to Joel Madden after Paris asked Nicole if Joel was really the father of her baby. Paris and Nicole haven’t been seen out together since their over-hyped supposed makeup for the sake of their never-ending reality series The Simple Life. It was also thought that Paris was making an obnoxious dig at Nicole when she publicly told Christina Aguilera “Congratulations to the most beautiful pregnant woman in the world.”

Maybe these two have buried the hatchet, or maybe they just realize that they generate more publicity together, because Paris is hosting Nicole Richie’s baby shower this weekend:

According to In Touch, invites just went out for the shower, scheduled to take place at 12:30 p.m. on Sun., Nov. 18, at a Beverly Hills estate.

The party’s being given by Nicole’s mom, Brenda, but sister Sophia and “loving friends” Paris Hilton and Masha Gordon are listed as the official hosts.

Don’t see Paris hitting Party City to pick up supplies? Well, she’s not. Wedding planner to the stars Mindy Weiss is actually handling all the nitty-gritty—such as ensuring Nicole’s favorite foods will be served, including sushi (sorry, Nic, the raw stuff’s just for your buddies), coconut shrimp, lobster, lemon-pepper chicken, fruit and cake.

[From E! Online]

And in case you assumed that Nicole would be collecting all sorts of high-end baby crap like most of the other celebrity moms, she’s not expecting her friends to buy it for her at least. Nicole and her fiance, Joel Madden, have started a nonprofit organization, The Richie Madden Children’s Foundation, and ask that baby shower attendees make donations of needed baby items instead of giving gifts to Nicole. They’re also asking fans to make donations to their foundation, with the items to go to families in need who visit the LA Free Clinic. They plan to start a website with a baby registry for people to purchase items:

Nicole would like to invite friends, family and fans across America to participate in the moms-in-need program and highly publicized baby shower. The Richie Madden Children’s Foundation will create and promote an online registry to inspire the purchases of items for moms and their families in need. Anyone in the country will be able buy from the registry on her behalf for the clinic. The registry link will live on the Richie Madden Children’s Foundation website for at least six months and will be updated regularly based on the needs of the LA Free Clinic and other participating clinics.

[From PDF press release linked from USWeekly]

That’s surprisingly awesome of Nicole and Joel. Add in that Nicole is asking Paris Hilton to co-host her baby shower and she seems to have actually matured a bit. Maybe once the baby arrives she’ll realize what a spoiled brat she’s been her whole life and will start to dedicate most of her time to her new charity.

Diddy makes a guy strip at his White Party

Sean Combs/Puff Daddy/Puffy/P. Diddy’s White Party is hardcore. It’s considered one of the absolute most important “seen and be seen” Hamptons parties thrown on Labor Day weekend. As the always humble Puffy noted, “’ “It’s a party that has legendary status. It’s hard to throw a party that lives up to its legend.’” Thanks for keeping yourself in check and not getting too carried away with your own awesomeness. The basic (and unbreakable) rule of the white party is that everyone must be dressed in head-to-toe white. This is not a guideline, this is a hardcore rule, and Puffy has spotters at the front door making sure no one is trying to sneak in wearing eggshell or cream. Call them cream puffies. It’s absolutely ridiculous, but I guess you could argue that there is so little formality left in the world that a little, mixed with a healthy dose of pretension, won’t kill anyone.

“White was the dress code at a star-saturated party thrown by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs at his Long Island home, and the dress code was strictly enforced. The hip-hop mogul’s annual White Party, which he has held in St. Tropez in recent years, featured a white carpet to go along with the white dress code.

“‘This party is up there with the top three that I’ve thrown,’ Combs said. ‘It’s a party that has legendary status. It’s hard to throw a party that lives up to its legend.’ Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, Donna Karan, Ashley Olsen, Star Jones and Tommy Lee were among the guests. But those who failed to abide by the dress code found themselves told to change, including the wife of Billy Joel, Katie Lee. She had gone to the party dressed in a shade of cream, but that did not win over Combs’ fashion police. Turned away, she opted to go home.

“Combs wore white sneakers with silver detailing, a white shirt and pants and a gold medallion.”

[From Newsday]

Oooh oooh, so it’s okay for Puffy to wear silver and gold, but poor Billy Joel’s wife can’t wear cream? Hypocrite. At least she went home without attending the party – that means the odds of Billy Joel driving her home drunk went down by 30 percent. Puffy also made an unnamed guest change out of his cream pants and into a pair of Puffy’s white pants – in the street!

“P Diddy reportedly forced a male guest strip at one of his high prestige parties last week…because he apparently didn’t follow dress code, a very strict rule in the Diddy household. The hip hop mogal [sic] was hosting one of his annual parties, this time the ‘White Party’, and the guest was wearing ‘cream’ trousers. Ooooo! He had to replace them, obviously, with one of P Diddy’s white trousers from his wardrobe. According to British newspaper The Sun, the rapper’s security guards refused the man entry to the mansion until he replaced his garments with some Diddy approved white ones.”

[From Showbiz Spy]

So much for being a gracious host. The guy is a bit of a control freak, to say the least. I remember reading some article a million years ago about Puffy’s first White Party, and the invitations actually stated that ladies were to be waxed, including their bikini areas. Let’s hope he didn’t have guards checking that, too.

Picture note by Celebitchy Diddy is shown with his children children Big Christian, Little Quincy, and Justin Combs at the White Party on 9/2, thanks to WENN.

The Best Kisser Ever

spx-001509.jpg
Well, in this competition there was only one judge, but she had previously kissed Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp. Keira Knightly has declared James McAvoy the best kisser ever.

“James [McAvoy] is the best kisser ever!” a giggling Knightley, 22, said of her Atonement costar while sitting in romantic Venice.

People

Of course, she’s blurted this out right in front of James’ face. It wouldn’t exactly be diplomatic to say “He’s all tongue and sometimes my nose gets caught up in it, if I wasn’t being paid I’d have puked.” Actually, that would have been pretty hilarious, I wish she had.

Keira’s got a party trick, according to The Independent. She plays ‘Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head’ on her teeth. Please, please have this instead of Beyonce at next year’s Oscar’s.

Keira this week also had her say about Hollywood party girls.

“I’m not going to get blind drunk and then stumble out and fall over and puke up in front of people. I’m not saying I don’t do that in private, but I try not to,’ the Sun quoted her, as saying.

Calling her performance in ‘Atonement’ her best so far, Knightley said that being a celebrity is all about proving that one is shoddier than the other

“The whole celebrity thing is not magic. They’re real people proving they’re s******r than everybody else because they don’t even wear knickers,” she told Empire.

Times of India

I’ve been to London. It is very cold. You’ll catch your death if you go out late nights there with no panties.

Picture note by Celebitchy James McAvoy is shown at The Last King of Scotland premiere on 10/18/06. Keira Knightley is shown below at the Venice Film Festival this week.

Did Sienna Miller break up Diddy’s relationship?


Despite being seen canoodling with each other as recently as July 1st, Sienna Miller says she and P Diddy are not an item.
Zee News reports Miller saying, “’I am in love with someone but not Puff Daddy. He`s just a good friend. Anyway he has a beautiful girlfriend,’”

I call BS on that. Diddy’s “beautiful girlfriend” Kim Porter moved out of their home last Thursday, as reported here on Celebitchy. This article came out today, so there are already some untruths coming out of Sienna Miller’s mouth. And I call BS on the “beautiful” part of that comment too, but that’s another story.

Miller claims that she’s in love with someone, but it isn’t Diddy, and she isn’t saying who it is. I didn’t give much credence to this rumor when it first surfaced a few months ago. I can’t put my finger on it, but somehow they just don’t make sense together. However this is pretty clear to me:

“Diddy was seen flirting with the ‘Factory Girl’ star in a cozy corner of the Central London club at a post-Concert For Diana party on July 1. The two surrounded themselves with bouncers for privacy and cuddled up in the corner, too immersed in each other to notice anything else going on around them.

But when they noticed fellow clubbers staring at them, the pair moved to a more secluded section of the club. However Diddy has insisted that his warm chat with Miller at the party following his Wembley performance was above suspicion. “Yeah, we all hang out together but there`s no more to it than that,” Diddy said.”

[From Zee News]

I always cuddle in the corner with good friends, all the while making bouncers surround me so no one can see what we’re up to. And it pisses me off when my significant other considers that evidence of cheating. It really is presumptuous. So within four days of this post-concert cuddling, Diddy’s girlfriend moved out. Coincidence, no? Not that I could live with that ego, so I could understand either way. Porter and Diddy have been on and off for 10 years. They have three children together, separated by a few Diddy had at random intervals in between. So while it was a long-term relationship, it doesn’t sound like it was rock solid. If Sienna Miller can break you up, you probably shouldn’t be in the relationship anyway.

Sports Illustrated models all at one party. The terrorists have lost.


Heterosexuality worldwide got a real boost when Ana Beatriz Barros, Veronica Varekova, Bar Refaeli, and Marisa Miller all showed up for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2007 Launch party. Such Mega hotness in one room caused several beta males in the general area to dissolve into sad little puddles of wish fufillment.

Hollywood Tuna had the pictorial scoop …. I do not have the thousand words that these pictures equal. Have at it boys:

Britney caught in bald-faced lie about her partying


One of Britney’s main points in her message to fans on her tiger-themed website was the fact that she hadn’t celebrated her birthday in two years. Mike Walker of The National Enquirer notes that Britney did have huge birthday blowouts the last two years that were well publicized. Britney, better get your facts straight before you try and make a worthless point:

On your Web site, you defend your insane headbanging - pre/post/and during your 25th birthday - by wah-waaah-ing: “It’s been so long since I’ve been out on the town…it’s also been two years since I’ve even celebrated my birthday!” LIAR! The press reported that you whooped it up big-time on your 24th birthday at LA club LAX, “dancing into the wee hours with friends” - and a photo showed you there! On your 23rd birthday, Ms. Pinocchi-a, you staged a major blowout that made worldwide headlines - boogie-ing at LA club Concorde with hubby KEVIN FEDERLINE (remember him?). Then the two of you checked into the posh Bacara Spa and Hotel in Santa Barbara and hung out the “Do Not Disturb” sign for a long weekend that was described as a “48-hour sex marathon.” Too bad you fired your ace Hollywood PR firm, Britney. They’d have warned you against publishing such amateur-ish lies!

I guess that depends on what your definition of “celebrating” is, because if you do it with your ex, it doesn’t count.

The paparazzi websites don’t have new pictures up of Britney yet, so it’s possible she stayed home last night. It’s more likely that her stock is dropping since the market is flooded with pictures of her.

Here are two more pictures of Britney after the Lakers game from FlynetOnline.
