It turns out that rumor that the head of Scientology accompanied Tom and Katie on their honeymoon in the Maldives was untrue, because the Scientologists denied it and we should just take them at their word. Now there’s news that Tom and Katie are going to follow up their second wedding party with yet another honeymoon. Their first honeymoon on a tugboat yacht was cut short due to bad weather. This time they’re said to be going alone to Tahiti and leaving little Suri at home.

Tom & Katie are indeed planning a second honeymoon for the two of them only … Suri will stay with the family in the US as they head to a romantic & exotic location.
Rumor has it that the couple have booked a holiday in Tahiti, at the $15000 a night Le Taha’a Private Island and Spa.
Hmm … This will definitely be a real honeymoon!

I’m not sure this is true, because they were initially said to be going to Tahiti on their honeymoon, and only a few sources are reporting that they’re planning a second honeymoon there. They were in Tahiti back in February when Katie was pregnant.

Their stateside wedding party will take place this Saturday at the malibu estate of Tom’s business partner. Tom, Katie, Victoria Backham, J.Lo and Marc Anthony were seen out to dinner at a steakhouse last night in what looked like a second-wedding party rehearsal dinner. Pictures from Gossip Rocks.

See this dress Laura Bush is wearing in this official White House Holiday photo? It’s by Oscar de la Renta and costs $8,500 freakin’ dollars. You’d think if you were going to spend that much money on a haute couture dress and wear it to an official event, you would make sure it was an original, right? So nobody else would be wearing the same dress as the Queen of the Free World?

Well, it seems Mrs. Bush didn’t have someone do that for her and ended up wearing this dress not only for the official White House Holiday photo, but also to a celebrity studded party for fat cats at the White House. Imagine her surprise when she discovered that three other women were wearing the exact same dress! Oh, the horrors!

Letitia Baldridge, Jacqueline Kennedy’s Chief of Staff and White House social secretary says the gown was beautiful, but triple the trouble was quite the mess.

“They all should have congratulated one another on their good taste and the fact that they could afford the dress,” Baldridge says. “Jacqueline Kennedy, when she was first lady made sure, and her couturiers made sure that nobody else wore that dress that season. “

Oh please, Laura Bush is no Jacqueline Kennedy. That’s like comparing apples to oranges. But Laura did try to rectify the situation by running upstairs and changing into another gown. The other three ladies who had the same dress on didn’t have that option, and for the remainder of the night, tried to stay as far away from each other as they possibly could.

Thanks to the excellent snarky blog Rhymes with Snitch for this story I haven’t seen anywhere else. The night Paris Hilton flashed her ass in a too-short dress while dancing on a table at Janet Jackson’s birthday party at Tao (despite the fact that she claims to never dance on tables and there are even more recent pictures to the contrary,) she decided to serenade everyone at 3 AM with a drunken “Stars are Blind.”

Janet was understandably outraged and got the hell out of there immediately, taking 30 of her friends with her:

Paris often sings her own songs badly while wasted out at clubs, and she probably had no clue that she was doing anything wrong by warbling at an established pop artist’s joint birthday party and CD celebration.

Despite news that Janet Jackson’s new album is relatively tanking on the charts and may help sink her boyfriend Jermaine Dupri’s career at Virgin Records, she shopped for a $30 million dollar apartment in Manhattan last week, and claimed that Jermaine needed a huge closet because he has more shoes than she does.

Meanwhile Paris is still considered a scourge on the entertainment industry. Meatloaf has joined Jenny McCarthy in claiming that he plans to haunt Paris Hilton after he dies. And predictably, Paris was voted the top overexposed celebrity that people want to see less of. With that news, here are absolutely no pictures of Paris.

Katie Holmes and Kate Bosworth were photographed with ornery old fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld at his VIP party at Paris Fashion week on 10/6. Kate Bosworth is the perfect clothes rack, and Katie Holmes looks like she’s shrugged off the religious brainwashing in favor of the soothing balm of consumerism.

Katie was seen shopping for shoes and purses at Christian Louboutin earlier that day, and even looked at a frilly pink coat for little Suri. Speaking of little Suri, she hasn’t been seen outside the house at any point during her supposed six months on this earth. Nary a baby carriage, carrier or accessory has been photographed, and although we have that great spread in Vanity Fair it seems a bit thin considering there’s no candid evidence of the tyke apart from those creepy helicopter pictures that came out. Yes, I always mention this, but isn’t it a bit suspect? Work with me on this.

Katie is in Paris with Victoria Beckham, and has been seen out on the town with her in various fashion-forward outfits.

While Katie’s away there are soccer moms trying to get newly-chub Tom Cruise to play. X17 shows evidence of a blonde hottie flirting with Tom at one of Isabella’s soccer games and touching his arm.

Beyonce and Gwyneth are new BFFs, and hung out together and partied in London for Gwyneth’s 34th birthday. They shopped, went to dinner, saw Jay-Z perform, and then hit a club afterwards. Gwyneth’s husband Chris Martin even joined Jay-Z on stage during his performance at Royal Albert Hall while Gwyneth let loose and sung backup.

London’s The Mirror said that Beyonce and Gwyneth talked about music and babies at the after party, but they’re making that shit up and running a story based on the photographs:

They all obviously had a great time and enjoyed themselves on Gwyneth’s birthday.

Thanks to BeyonceWorld.net for these pictures.

Update: Jay-Z was the first hip hop artist to headline at Albert Hall. He will play Paris tonight and Milan tomorrow.

“Lightweight” in the image caption above is not a literal reference to either Beyonce or Gwyneth’s weight, and just refers to the fact that Beyonce is visibly drunk in the pictures, while Gwyneth just looks tipsy.

There’s plenty of news of A C-Listers getting shut out of events this morning. Like Paris Hilton, The Olsen Twins were turned away at the door. Unlike Paris Hilton, they were invited to the party but simply failed to RSVP:

The party probably sucked anyway. The French aren’t known for their hospitality, and I’m speaking from personal experience here.

Maybe they weren’t let in because summer is barely over and Mary-Kate was wearing fur. Is it just me, or does Ashley look like she had some bad work done on her face?

Paris Hilton and her f*** buddy Brandon Davis got shut out of NY club Bungalow 8 after the VMAs last week, but so did Diddy. The reason seems to have had more to do with the fire code than Paris not being welcome.

Paris was famously barred from Vanity Fair parties at the Cannes film festival and after the Oscars. Editor Graydon Carter has said that “Paris… will never attend one of the parties I host.”

Now she’s been shut out of another club just for being, well, Paris:

Maybe she should stay home once in awhile and work on her poses. After she got busted for DUI last week and Richard Branson tricked her into dressing like the help, she should cut her losses and try to reinvent herself. Paris never seemed like one to take a hint, though.

The NY Daily News reports that Paris’ gang acted like a bunch of high-schoolers at a party Saturday night. It’s not surprising since Paris never finished high school and had to settle for a GED:

Here she is on September 10th at the Rosa Cha Spring after party. [via]

Paris had a bad week. Busted for DUI, caught making out with Travis Barker despite claimimg to have been with his lookalike friend, and now the victim of a clever prank by likable freewheeling billionaire Richard Branson.

Branson held a Mad-Hatter themed party Saturday night, and Paris asked if she could dress as Alice in Wonderland and be the belle of the ball. Branson agreed, but had as his servers dress as Alice too! When Paris showed, he asked her to fetch him a drink:

Oops Paris! The only way you can win is by staying in and keeping to yourself for a little while, but that’s not going to happen, is it?

Oh Paris! Here’s a recap of the latest news about her thrilling DUI arrest.

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox were photographed canoodling at a party in Malibu over the weekend. I’m not sure who the older woman is, but Aniston is majorly sucking up to her while Courteney looks kind of annoyed. Aniston is also all too aware that she’s being photographed.

No wonder Aniston is so self-conscious around the paparrazi. She just settled a lawsuit for an undisclosed amount with a photographer who took topless photos of her sunbathing at her place. Aniston is going to donate the settlement to cancer research, cause she realizes that she’s not known for charity work and better improve her public image fast.

The paparrazo’s defense is pretty weak and kind of laughable. He said that he “didn’t go looking” for Aniston topless, even though he was outside her house with a telephoto lens, and that he uh, didn’t want to sell the naked pictures, even though he mailed them to magazines.

This is Aniston’s second settlement with a photographer over nude photos. She got 1/2 a million dollars in 2003 for nude pictures of her that were taken and published in 1999. No word what she did with that cash.

Here are Aniston and Cox at the party. [via]
