The Pirates of the Caribbean exhibit was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London today. The wax artists are quite skilled at male characters as Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp’s waxworks look eerily close to the real thing. Keira Knightley’s wax figure looks like a female impersonator, though. Maybe that’s why they tried to hide her underneath some falling hair.

People are speculating that Keira Knightley’s live-in relationship with fellow actor Rupert Friend won’t last long. He complained about his girlfriend having to kiss her hot costars in “Pirates” and said that she’s hardly ever home. Keira admitted to working too hard, and says that she needs to take time off, but not because of Rupert:

It doesn’t sound like Keira and Rupert are doing too well if they speak so poorly of each other to the press.

Here are the wax figures of Keira, Johnny and Orlando.

There were reports that Britney was planning a “Chaotic 2″ to further pound her stardom into the ground, but that was yet another piece of fake news embellished by the British tabloids. They always put some bit of UK slang in there to give it away.

Perez Hilton called Britney’s rep, who denied that Britney was dumb enough to make another “Chaotic”. Plus Kevin would have to be around long enough to make the film.

Just like the rumor that Britney was going to give birth in Namibia, this originated with the satirical site “Postcards from the Pug Bus” and was picked up as real news, with fake quotes added for good measure, by the tabloids.

Here is K-Fed shopping for junk food on July 3rd. He looks awful. It was so much nicer to check out pictures of cutie Perry Taylor. [via] Oh - the gossip rags are reporting that Sean Preston was calling manny Perry “Da Da” and that’s part of the reason why K-Fed had him canned.

Yesterday I mentioned the US Weekly article about Britney’s consultation with her christian life coach, and how she has taken Kevin back. The article makes it seem as if it’s this glorious reunion and that everything will be fine in their troubled relationship after the vacation photo op they took. This is in complete contrast to other reports we read that had Britney and Kevin sleeping in separate hotel rooms and avoiding each other on that same trip.

(From US Weekly’s print version)

Kevin also promised to spend four to five hours each day with Sean Preston to give Britney a break. Now that Perry’s gone he better take up some of the slack.

This glowing report of their renewed love must be one Kevin’s peeps giving good news to the rags for once after Britney told Kevin to stop feeding his friends stories to sell to the press. There’s no way everything is fine in their relationship or that their misguided love with conquer all.

Britney may dress trashy, but she lives in more style then the majority of the planet will experience in its lifetime. It’s kind of incongruous to see Britney in a tie-dye and Kevin in camo pants in a private jet, and it reminds us how privileged these people are, and why we make fun of them in the first place. These pictures are from Breatheheavy.com, and are said to be “stolen from Britney’s private album” by Us Weekly.

The lead story in The National Enquirer has Brad and Angelina fighting over the fact that Brad doesn’t get any alone time with the gorgeous mother of new baby and two adopted kids. Brad supposedly wanted to have a private lunch with Angelina, but she deferred in favor of watching the kids. She certainly has enough kids to take care of:

The article then rehashes Angelina’s fight with Brad when he went out in London one night when she was sick. A “family friend” also claims that Angelina is having trouble breastfeeding little Shiloh, and that she feels guilty that she may have to supplement with formula. She is also said to feel guilt over the fact that she wasn’t able to have a natural birth.

Plus Brad is still smoking, and Angelina may be “fed up” with his nasty habit.

This all sounds like normal stuff that happens with a growing family, and The Enquirer seems to be making more out of it than warranted.

Who knows how bad their fight was? Maybe Brad just wanted to get out of the house and didn’t storm out after all.

He did go out on his bike, though, because there were pictures all over the place. It’s easy enough to draw conclusions based on that.

They were said to be having trouble back in Paris in the loud and dirty neighborhood they rented an apartment in, and Brad was supposedly sleeping on the couch because pregnant Angelina needed the space in bed to herself.

If all of this is true, it seems pretty normal considering all the stress they must be under with the new baby and the move. Even with a lot of help, it’s still a lot of work.

This week’s National Enquirer has Jen and Vince “on the rocks” and fighting over the fake engagement ring Jen wore to the London premiere of “The Break Up.” She had it on her left hand, and gushed about the ring’s details to the press. Vince got pissed off and Jen put the ring on her right hand to appease him. Jen and Vince stayed away from each other all night, and a source says they were both in a bad mood and looked sad. We’ve heard this story before.

(From The National Enquirer print version.)

At the premiere after party, they sat separately and left separately. They even had different suites in their hotel. From her quotes, she doesn’t sound happy about their relationship:

It sounds like she doesn’t care if the cherry is there or not, and as if she’s trying to justify their stormy relationship.

US Weekly claims to have “The Truth about Jen & Vince” and refutes the rumors that she’s engaged and/or pregnant while making it seem like their relationship is fine. They use the one picture of them having dinner together in France and say that she’s moving to Chicago as proof of their solid relationship. They quote a source saying “Both of them are so happy, They are an amazing couple.”

We doubt that everything is fine, because neither of them seems happy or is willing to admit much about the other to the press. They’ve been together for two years. Isn’t that long enough to go public with their relationship?

Here are pictures we took of the stories in question. Hopefully they’re legible. There are also two pictures of Jen leaving “The Break Up” after party in London on 6/14. [via]

People are saying that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze are living apart and may be ready to divorce. Gellar is currently working on the film “The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing” while Prinze is starring in an ABC series, “Freddie.” Prinze’s TV work is said to be tearing the couple apart:

It’s rather suspect that their publicist is saying they’re coming over to her house at the weekend. That seems like an afterthought, and something she may have come up with while on the phone with the Daily News.

It’s unknown whether they’re actually having trouble, but Gellar is on baby watch since Cannes. We thought she looked pregnant at the film festival, as she was wearing ill-fitting gowns and held her hand over her stomach on the red carpet.

Reader Millie e-mailed me to say that she’s still wearing loose tops on the set of her new film, and that she does look pregnant. Loose outfits are the style now, though, and it may not mean anything. Take a look at these pictures from “A Girl’s Guide to Hunting and Fishing” and see for yourself. [via]

Prinze, 30, and Gellar, 29, have been married since 2002. We’ll have to wait and see if their marriage is in trouble and/or if they’re having a baby.

Britney released a clip of a new song on her website called “Rebellion.” It looks like it was up briefly and was removed, because BreatheHeavy.com says it was the second update and was under her poem, but it’s no longer available.

The lyrics reveal the fact that she’s pissed off at the paparrazi and press and thinks that she can make a noun into a verb by repeating it a lot. On her site before the download link she wrote “This is for everyone who thinks they know me… I forgive you.”

Download a 50 second clip of Rebellion (mp3)

It’s got a wannabe hip-hop vibe and it’s pretty good.

You’re not selling your soul, Britney, just some crappy pictures that no one wants. It’s also clear that you’re pissed off at Kevin, because he’s slowly poisoning you. We get it.

You think you’re rebellion by dyeing your hair black, don’t you?

Lyrics and Britney mp3 from BreatheHeavy.com.

Justin Timberlake might be getting friendly with Lauren Popeil, the daughter of famous Ronco informercial king Ron Popeil. A source tells Perez Hilton that they’re good “friends” and went out together to a club in Hollywood last week:

The only information I could find on Lauren was on the website for the household goods business she helps run with her mother, popeilfamilystore.com. She is 23, as a 1997 article about Ron lists her age at the time as 14. She was friends with Paris Hilton at some point, because her name was listed on Paris’ phone when it was hacked. She doesn’t get around - or get photographed - too much, though. The latest pictures of Lauren on Wireimage are from a SuperBowl after party in 2003.

While there is no official response from either Justin or Cameron’s camp to the breakup rumors, People cites a source that states that they’re still going strong:

Maybe the source is one of Cameron’s friends and she’s in denial or doesn’t know yet. We don’t think everything’s fine between them, especially in light of this video of Justin on TMZ. A blonde is seen getting into his car, and it’s not Cameron.

Earlier in the week it was reported that Kevin wanted Britney to fire her gorgeous helpful bodyguard/manny, 28 year-old naval academy graduate, Perry Taylor. Britney may have followed his advice, because she was photographed out without Perry in a NY Mall yesterday.

Kevin would tell Britney to get rid of a guy that’s ten times more helpful than he is. He wants to control her and make sure she doesn’t leave his sorry ass. It looks like Perry’s fifteen minutes of fame, and his steady job, are over. Maybe if he did it half-assed like Kevin, Britney’s husband wouldn’t feel threatened by him and wouldn’t have asked her to fire him.

Britney and Kevin were said to have vacationed together at a resort in Miami this weekend, but the reality is that they avoided each other and stayed in separate houses at their resort.

Kevin has new gigs this week as the face of Blue Marlin clothing company and campaigning for a new Virgin Mobile charity “penny” drive. It’s really a publicity stunt for Virgin’s one-cent text messaging offer. Now that he’s getting his own “work” maybe he’ll get cocky enough about it to finally set Britney free.

Here are pictures of Kevin Federline at a Miami resort on 6/18, and 6/19. There are also pictures of Kevin signing the petition to keep the penny in circulation, and Britney shopping at a NY Mall on 6/21. Britney and Kevin are shown on the balcony at their Miami resort. Pictures [via] [via] [via]

SocialRank claims to have an exclusive that Jay-Z and Beyonce are calling off their relationship due to too much time apart and too many conflicts. There was a rumor last month that they were getting married after Jay-Z lost weight on a diet supervised by Beyonce, but that was influenced by Beyonce’s own success in the dieting department and didn’t seem like a strong enough indication that they were preparing for a wedding:

[via]

It sounds like they’re both too busy to spend time together, and that Jay-Z is too focused on sports and partying to settle down. That is really common and I have dated guys like that. As much as you love them, you have to move on to someone who has the same goals in life and is ready for a long term commitment.

Beyonce was said to be jealous of Jay-Z’s very close working relationship with hot singer Rhianna, but it doesn’t seem like Jay-Z and Rhianna were having more than a flirtatious friendship.

There is only a single source for this news now, so until it’s confirmed and reported all over we aren’t sure it’s true. Even if it’s spot-on, it will probably be a while before the breakup is acknowledged.

Here are Beyonce and Jay-Z taking care not to be photographed together as they leave a NY hotel on 6/12, and some candids of Beyonce in NY alone on 6/15. [via]
