I always find it bizarrely fascinating when I find out two seemingly random celebrities have been best friends for years or use to date. In what has got to be one of the most bizarre hookups imaginable, Victoria Beckham has said that she used to date Corey Haim back before the Spice Girls were famous. And worse than that, Corey wasn’t all that into her. In fact, he didn’t want to have sex with Posh.

Victoria Beckham has claimed that ex-boyfriend Corey Haim didn’t want to have sex with her during their short-lived fling. The singer dated The Lost Boys star in 1995, before she found fame with the Spice Girls but the couple didn’t get beyond a cheeky snog.

‘We didn’t have sex or anything,’ she told OK! magazine. ‘In actual fact, he didn’t seem to want to try. The most we did was kiss.’

‘Looking back it’s hard to work out whether I really fancied him or if I was just a bit of a sad fan,’ she added.

Not surprisingly, Haim painted a totally different picture of their relationship in an interview two weeks ago. And there was certainly no mention of not wanting to have sex with the woman who now beds David Beckham.

“When she kisses, she does this cool thing which I can’t say,” he said during a recent interview for a British television show. He then elaborated, saying “she does this little grr gnaw thing” that felt like “a girl gnawing on your lip.”

Haim says he dated the former Spice Girl, who is now married to soccer star David Beckham, in the mid-1990s, calling her a “soul mate.”

The “Lost Boys” actor says he met Posh Spice in 1995 when the Spice Girls arrived at a recording studio. “A car pulled up, and five girls in these crazy outfits pile out and are like these punk rock chicks. And then Vic. We lock on — sniper eyes. So I had to hang out with her, it was my obligation as a man.”

Hmmm. Nothing in that description leads me to the conclusion “this dude can’t get it up for a Spice Girl.” It sounds more like, “They had this awesome connection… I bet it was hot.” Except then you imagine a naked Corey… and a naked Posh… not so hot. For whatever reason, I’m more apt to believe Victoria. You wouldn’t think a woman would say something like that if it were untrue, as it isn’t exactly flattering to either of them.

OK! Magazine has a new story that could possibly be based on some insider information but doesn’t seem like more than wishful thinking. They say that Jennifer Aniston, 39, is having such awesome sex with singer John Mayer, 30, that she better watch out. Mayer is supposedly so good in that sack that he leaves women “ruined” for all other men and following him around like dogs in heat:

The actress, who is known for runnng errands in faded jeans and t-shirts, showed up at J.J. Custom Upholstery in L.A. on June 5 wearing a low cut maxi dress that showed off her toned arms and ample cleavage. The reason for her sudden sexed-up self? Lots of action between the sheets!

“John is good in bed,” a pal of the 30-year old singer-songwriter tells OK!. “Not just good, but sensational. Every girl I know who has slept with John says it was the best sex of their life. I’m not sure what exactly he does in bed, but after girls sleep with him, they’re ruined. They get totally hung up on him and want more! Whatever John’s secret is, he should market it. He could retire from the music industry.”

Dating a man nearly ten years younger seems to have done wonders for the Marley & Me star, who was previously married to Brad Pitt, 44. “Great sex with a younger man can improve anyone’s mood and attitude,” says New York-based relationship expert Cooper Lawrence, who has not treated Jen.

“Jen’s in a new relationship, and when you’re having great sex, you dress to reflect how you feel. Instead of dark glasses and dull dresses, Jen’s wearing short skirts and sexy tops. It’s like sending a message to the world.”

[From OK! Magazine]

So Aniston is wearing cute dresses and that must mean she has a satisfying sex life. According to various blind items that may have originated with our Lainey and are obviously about Mayer, he’s into some kinky stuff, and supposedly enjoys golden showers.

Mayer bragged about his prowess in a September, 2006 interview with Rolling Stone in which he smoked pot in front of the journalist. He called his penis “Dominican” because it was “so dark” and said it “hit six home runs last year.” He also said he had sex with about three girls a week when he was on tour.

After girls sleep with Mayer, they’re definitely ruined and can never have another guy again without fantasizing about him and the crazy, stream of consciousness sex. You almost have to be high to even understand how amazing Mayer is, it’s that transcendent. How sad for the rest of us that there’s only one Mayer to go around.

The R. Kelly child pornography trial just gets weirder and weirder. And a good deal of it is downright disgusting. In testimony yesterday, the prosecution’s star witness (and three-way sex tape participator) Lisa Van Allen said Kelly carried around a duffel bag filled with his homemade sex tapes. She said wherever Kelly went, the bag went. Not necessarily for safekeeping, but for easy access. Van Allen had a relationship with Kelly from early 1998 to 2001.

R&B superstar R. Kelly carried a duffel bag filled with homemade sex videotapes wherever he went, a woman testified Monday. While making one such tape, Kelly cut off the filming when the woman — Lisa Van Allen — started crying during three-way sex with an underage girl, Van Allen testified.

“He got upset and said he couldn’t watch that. He couldn’t do anything with that, with me crying. He stopped the camera,” Van Allen said. The tapes Kelly liked went with him to his recording studio, to his favorite basketball gym — Hoops on the near West Side — and to video shoots, she said.

“Wherever he was at, the [duffel] bag would follow,” Van Allen said.

[From the Chicago Sun-Times]

Van Allen also described her relationship with Kelly and how many times they made sex tapes.

Van Allen’s testimony — covering her relationship with Kelly and how she ultimately became a witness against him — came under fierce attack by the defense, which contended she wanted money from Kelly. After Van Allen spent most of the day on the stand, the prosecution rested.

Van Allen said Kelly told her the girl was 16, though prosecutors contend she was as young as 13. Van Allen testified that Kelly videotaped the threesome — a tape separate from the one at the heart of the current case.

A year later, the trio had sex again — this time on Kelly’s indoor basketball court, she testified. Van Allen wept as she described how Kelly put a futon mattress on the court. It was during that three-way encounter that she cried, Van Allen said, prompting Kelly to stop the videotaping.

The three had sex again in 2000 inside Kelly’s trailer at a video shoot in Chicago, Van Allen said.

[From the Chicago Sun-Times]

Van Allen was 18 at the time she made the first sex tape with R. Kelly, which the prosecution points out makes the other girl in the video 14 at the time. Which is utterly disgusting. The defense managed to paint Van Allen as a thief and a liar – getting her to admit that she stole a Rolex from Kelly. They’ve also managed to really cloud the prosecution’s case in terms of the identity of the man on the tape, who they claim is not R. Kelly and was digitally manipulated to look like him. Unfortunately for the defense, an F.B.I. expert testified that the tape had not been digitally altered.

The prosecution rested today, and did a good job, given their resources. The defense’s whole strategy is to muddy the waters, blame the victim, and give ridiculous explanations – basically do anything and everything, no matter how extreme, to get Kelly off. It seems pretty clear to most people following the case that he’s guilty as sin – but if I were the betting type, I’d still put all my money on R. Kelly getting off.

An article in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair is set to expose former President Bill Clinton’s lurid sexual past – as if we didn’t already know about most of it. The article, written by Todd Purdum, who is married to former Clinton aide Dee Dee Myers – attacks Clinton, saying that his affairs and general Clintonian behavior have wrecked Hillary’s chances at the presidency.

One of the interesting revelations is that Clinton supposedly had an affair with actress Gina Gershon.

Over the last few years, aides have winced at repeated tabloid reports about Clinton’s episodic friendship and occasional dinners out with Belinda Stronach, a twice-divorced billionaire auto-parts heiress and member of the Canadian Parliament 20 years his junior, or at more recent high-end Hollywood dinner-party gossip that Clinton has been seen visiting with the actress Gina Gershon in California. There has been talk of a female friend in Chappaqua, a woman in a bar at a meeting of the Aspen Institute, and a public sighting of Clinton, Bing, and a ravishing entourage in a New York elevator that, a former Clinton aide told me, led a business leader who saw them to say: I don’t know what the guy was doing, but it was so clear that it was just no good.

[From Vanity Fair via Gossip Rocks]

I don’t think it’s any news that Bill’s a player. So much was made of the Clinton’s marriage during the Lewinsky sex scandal that there really isn’t much to say about it anymore. I don’t think many people believe they have a marriage of love, at least in the traditional romantic sense. It seems more that it’s a partnership, and Bill at least gets his love somewhere else. Who knows. But it seems like plenty of people have been able to support the former president politically while decided that his personal proclivities are his own affair. So to speak.

Clinton’s office issued an angry, 2,476 word rebuttal to Vanity Fair’s article, pointing out many of its holes. They also point out that the article fails to mention any of the good Clinton has done since leaving office through the William J. Clinton Foundation – which has been prolific. While they defend nearly every single accusation in Vanity Fair’s article, the only seemingly-important issue they don’t address is that of Clinton’s sexual dalliances. Considering the depth they went into, leaving something like that out says more than anything they could have said.

Clinton called writer Purdum “Sleazy” “Slimy” and a “Scumbag” when asked by Huffington Post reporter Mayhill Fowler if the Vanity Fair article was “weighing on his mind.” He pointed out that Purdum used fifty anonymous sources.

“Anytime you read a story that slimes a public figure with anonymous quotes, it oughta make the bells go off in your head. Because anytime somebody uses those things– he wrote the story in his head in advance, and he just goes around and tries to find some coward to say whatever they want to say, hoping to get some benefit out of it. It didn’t bother me. It shouldn’t bother you.”

[From the Huffington Post]

Clinton’s spokesman had to apologize on his behalf for the sleazy/slimy/scumbag comments. I don’t really blame him - so many anonymous sources is something you’d expect of some magazines, but certainly not Vanity Fair. It will be interesting to see if the article does significant damage to Hillary Clinton’s campaign - though several websites are claiming she’ll be dropping out of the race any day now, regardless of the article.

Now that the Sex and the City world premieres are wrapping up, it’s almost time for the big New York City premiere. Which means that SATC mania is heating up again, thus it’s time to take a look back on the last ten years and see what kind of terrible behavior wanton females have engaged in as a result of the show.

A Utah woman has claimed to ABC News that Sex and the City turned her into a big ‘ol skank. As a 14-year-old, Long Island native “Lisa” – not her real name – started giving it up to every guy on the street – all as a result of idolizing Kim Cattral’s character, Samantha.

She got hooked on “Sex and the City” when she was a 14-year-old growing up on Long Island, N.Y. It was the same year she lost her virginity. She soon graduated to ordering cosmopolitans at bars she snuck into and cheating on her boyfriend with up to seven other guys — in one week.

“When you’re that age you try to emulate people on TV. Carrie smoked, so I smoked, Samantha looked at hooking up with random people as not a big deal, so that’s what I did too,” said Lisa, now 22. “It wasn’t ‘Sex and the City’s’ fault. I love the show, but I think it made it a little easier to justify my behavior.”

It’s a twisted version of monkey see, monkey do. For some 20-something women, “Sex and the City,” which hits theaters in feature film form May 30, served as Dating 101 — lessons in how to hook up, go out and live the fabulous lives of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), no strings attached.

Lisa remembers re-enacting one particular Samantha scene in her own life: Season 3, episode 39, in which the bachelorette-for-life scrunches her face up at her latest suitor and tells him she doesn’t like the way he … tastes. “That was something that happened to me. I used her exact words: ‘You have funky spunk,’” she said. “I knew from watching the show that it had to do with something he was eating,” so she took a cue from the script and took an ax to a certain item in his diet.

[From ABC News]

I think most women have re-enacted that scene. My ex-boyfriend and I have what we referred to as the “fish taco incident.” Sex and the City just gave us the language to talk about it, and know that it’s not uncommon. And also a few techniques for dealing with the problem.

Apparently “Lisa” ended up pretty scarred – she moved to Utah and converted to Mormonism. Her husband made her sell her SATC DVD collection, and wouldn’t let her watch on television for the first year of their marriage, for fear that she’d turn back into a skankatron. He’s since relaxed a little and Lisa now has her DVDs back. But she says she wouldn’t want her 14-year-old sister watching the show.

I would agree that 14 might be a little young, certainly for the un-edited HBO version. But something tells me that if Lisa if slept with 7 guys in 7 days, she would have done that with or without Samantha’s encouragement. But if an unusually high amount of babies are born to unwed teenage mothers who don’t know who the father is approximately 9 months from May 27th, I guess we’ll know who to blame.

On Friday morning CNN journalist Richard Quest was arrested in Central Park with methamphetamine in his pocket. Quest is best known for his work on CNN’s late-night international programming and his hour-long show Quest. Originally it was reported that Quest was arrested for being in the park after it was closed… and while that’s technically true, it turns out there’s a lot more to the story than that. According to the New York Post, there was a good deal of kink going on when Quest was arrested – he had a rope around his neck that was also tied to his genitals.

CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said. Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said.

The criminal complaint against Quest said the park was closed at the time - something Quest should have known because of all the signs saying “Park Closed 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.” Quest was initially busted for loitering, the source said. Aside from the oddly configured rope, the search also turned up a sex toy inside of his boot, and a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket.

It wasn’t immediately clear what the rope was for.

[From the New York Post]

I’m sure we can all guess a few things that the rope might have been for. How many of us have enjoyed playing Cowboys and Indians in the park? The rope was obviously for some kind of lasso. Or perhaps to wrangle wayward cattle. While I personally have never encountered any member of the bovine family in Central Park, it’s a pretty big place and you never know what animals you’ll stumble upon. It sounds to me like Richard Quest was just following the Boy Scout motto of always being prepared. Last time I checked the Boy Scouts didn’t include any mention of sex toys and meth, but times are changing and I could just be out of the loop.

The other man that was with Quest was given a summons for not having any identification on him. Quest was not charged with lewdness because he wasn’t exposing himself. So for any of you out-of-towners, it’s good to know that it’s perfectly legal to tie ropes around your genitals in public. But not having your I.D. on you might get you in a bit of trouble.

Quest spent most of Friday behind bars while his lawyer negotiated with the district attorney. He agreed to six months of drug counseling, and in return will have the charge dismissed upon successful completion of the drug program. Really, not a bad deal for hording meth and sex toys, when you think about it. If Quest had been caught doing the same thing in a Tad’s Steakhouse, he would have been given applause and a free dinner.

It appears Michelle Rodriguez isn’t backing off from her angry girl image. She seems to think the rest of the world is pretty disgusting – and perverse. In fact it seems like any talk or thought of sex seems perverse and invasive to her. Michelle gave an interview to Latina magazine, in which she talks about her sexuality. The magazine notes that people have always wondered if she’s gay or straight – a question she doesn’t answer. But she sure gives some interesting thoughts on sex – and why people are so obsessed with wanting to know her orientation.

“What the majority of [people] want to know is what I’m doing with my vagina, and I think that that’s sick,” she says over the phone from New Zealand, where she’s shooting the new James Cameron film Avatar. “What do you care who I’m dating? I can tell when somebody just wants to know about sex. And it makes me sick.”

… “Every time you see a woman who walks down the street, you think, ‘is she f*ckable?’” she says, when we ask why she thinks there is enduring interest in her love life, “Any woman who is in some way f*ckable, you know, if she’s beautiful, or if she has a nice body, you wonder what kind of things that person does with their private area.” She goes on to say, “It’s a very perverse way of thinking, but it’s the way that the majority of adults in the United States and around the world think. Or the porn industry wouldn’t be the highest grossing industry in the world.”

[From Latina]

Michelle notes that she’s a tomboy and doesn’t care how she looks or what people think of her – and that makes her intriguing. It’s a pretty rare attitude for a woman in Hollywood, and makes you wonder why she ever wanted to be a part of that industry. She also gives a pretty vivid image of exactly what she thinks of journalists and bloggers who want to know if she’s a lesbian.

“I picture them turning into pigs, slime coming out the side of their mouth, and I picture them jerking off,” she says of the journalists and bloggers who she believes are constantly trying to ‘out’ her: “I don’t answer those questions. I just keep it to myself and it’s nobody’s business. If I wanna f*ck a girl, a boy, a dog—that’s my business. That’s why there’s bathroom doors.”

[From Latina]

Um…. Wow. I actually don’t have a comeback for that. Michelle’s orientation is definitely her business, that’s true. I’m so stuck on trying not to imagine the slime vomit pigs that I’m having a hard time figuring out what else to say. I think another part of the reason people often want to know is because she’s such a “I’m gonna tell you what I think” type who never bites her tongue. She appears confident and tough. So I guess it just seems like she’d be someone who would say, “Yeah, I am, so what?” but with a lot more swear words.

I don’t have kids, but I like to think that when I do, I’ll be responsible about sex education. And I won’t be one of those parents that freaks out about their kid taking sex ed in school. Let’s be honest, from grades 2-4, the only reason you get through the years is the knowledge that in the spring of fifth grade, your teacher divides the class into boys and girls and you get special, illustrated pamphlets. I also hope I won’t be one of those parents who freaks out when the school says they’re going to teach kids how to use a condom by demonstrating on a banana. So while I plan to be totally awesome, I’m not sure I’d be psyched to hear that Fergie is talking to my kids about sex. I just look at her face and see herpes. But good old Stacie Ferguson decided to do a good dead and tell kids they should use condoms.

Singer Fergie took to the stage at a New York high school on Tuesday to teach students about AIDS prevention and safe sex. The Black Eyed Peas star, who was once addicted to crystal methamphetamine, urged the 10th graders at Murry Bergtraum High School to never allow themselves to be pressurized into sex without a condom.

She told the assembled 15-year-olds, “In high school I cheated on my boyfriends - whatever! (But) do you really want that person who’s just going to like you if you have unprotected sex?”

Speaking after the event, Fergie added, “It’s about building self-esteem. That’s what it’s going to take for young people to have protected sex. They have to stick to their guns.”

[From Starpulse]

I applaud her for sending a message of responsibility… it’s just that the messenger is kinda gross. Is she cool right now? I thought 15 year olds listened to Hannah Montana or something. I don’t know any teenagers. Don’t they think 33-year-olds are out of touch? I’m not saying Fergie is washed up, I just didn’t realize kids would respond to her any better than your average Planned Parenthood rep. I guess I’ve just heard so many unflattering things about Fergie over the years… what with the peeing herself onstage, the crazy over-arched eyebrows and bad makeup… the peeing herself onstage. I’m sorry, but that’s just not the kind of thing that should be glossed over. But it’s good that she got out there, and it sounds like she spoke in a real way, and hopefully the students responded and will use condoms. And not pee themselves.

Clay Aiken has been doing a TON of press for his recent starring role in “Spamalot” on Broadway. This is tolerable or terrible depending on your view of Clay Aiken. It’s definitely more tolerable if you only have to read it instead of hear him speak. Clay’s moved to the big city and at 29 years old is living alone for the first time in his life – and seems to feel rather panicky about the whole thing. He gave a surprisingly candid and friendly interview to New York magazine (let’s not forget his terse exchange with Newsweek recently). Clay’s still promoting his family-friendly, nerdy/geeky/dorky, pure-as-the-snow routine.

“Let’s not fool ourselves,” he says with his eyebrows up in his arch, queeny way. “The truth is? There are people like Justin Timberlake, males who are cool on radio right now, and then there’s me. If I heard myself in a dance club? If I went into a dance club—which I never do—and I heard Clay Aiken come on, I’d roll my eyes and get out. But you know what? I’m fine with being kind of vanilla! It’s oh-kye!” In his book, Aiken says that it’s not just clubs but also bars he dislikes: “The only reason people go to bars is to get drunk and have sex. To me, bars are what hell is like.”

[From New York Magazine]

Clay has long refused to talk about his sexual orientation, however he does talk about his personal life a bit – or lack thereof. Apparently Clay’s not interested in the men or the women – his only meaningful relationship is with his dogs.

He imagines his social life here will be “nonexistent, really. I’m not a nighttime person.” He does not plan on dating, and he is not involved with anyone. “Heck, no,” he says. “My dogs.” He has never had a romantic relationship with anyone, unless you count the girls he took to dances back in high school in Raleigh. “I just don’t have an interest in … any of that at all. I have got too much on my plate,” he says. “I’d rather focus on one thing and do that when I can devote time to it, and right now, I just don’t have any desire.”

But Aiken is 29 years old and he is also a human. Surely he must have needs. Urges. He contemplates this in silence for 20 or 30 seconds. “Ah think maybe I don’t! I mean, not really. I’ve just kind of shut it off, maybe. Is that bad?”

[From New York Magazine]

Given that interview, Clay Aiken strikes me as someone who could very well be asexual. I saw a story a while back on ABC News about people who say they’re asexual, and their whole motto was “sexless and proud.” Most of the people interviewed described themselves as asexual and said sex just had no appeal to them. Many claimed they had no inclination towards romantic relationships in general, and they had incredibly happy and fulfilling lives – they just have nothing to do with sex. It really sounds like that’s what Clay Aiken is describing. He’s been pestered by gay rumors for years – which he’s refused to discuss. It’s obviously possible Clay says the things he says as a way of sidestepping the issue. But it is also possible he’s got his own way of doing things and living his life, and he’s perfectly happy with that.

Clay’s been getting pretty good reviews for his Spamalot performance. Although New York magazine was definitely hard on him at several points in the article, they said he really fits into the role well – he even broke his “no cussing” policy. The article also speculates that living in New York may break Clay, and get him to loosen up a bit. Only time will tell.

I haven’t been able to get a decent night’s sleep in at least a week. I have no idea what’s changed, but suddenly I’m awake for hours in the middle of the night. Last Wednesday, I was having weird dreams about Avril Lavigne trying to make soup out of me. Last night, it was about the New Kids on the Block reunion. Somehow they’d turned it into a reality show, and I was the judge, but there were weird sexual overtones and an oddly big microphone. And I have a feeling that tonight’s nightmare will most likely feature incredibly scary images of Victoria Beckham, naked, having sex, and in some way impaling me with her pointy scissor legs. Why? Because I’ve just learned that the image of Posh’s husband, David Beckham, is being used to promote a brand of Chinese condoms. They’re not actually endorsed by Beckham – in fact it appears many of the Chinese people are rather mortified, as they really like the soccer star and don’t want to offend him. But just putting his face on the box has made it the number one selling condom in China. Something tells me they didn’t use one of the “seductive” photos that also features Posh.

A Chinese firm is using soccer star David Beckham’s name to promote its brand of condoms - without his permission. The firm is claiming men who use the Beckham contraceptive - which has become the best-selling in China - will score in bed like the L.A. Galaxy star does on the pitch.

But fans in the country are calling for a ban on the condoms - because they don’t want to offend the British sportsman.

A fan explains, “We do not want Beckham to think the Chinese people are disrespecting him. We love him here.” A spokesman for Beckham says, “It’s not an official brand.”

[From PR-Insider]

Does using Beckham’s condom mean you have to think about Posh when you’re having sex? I’m pretty sure that would kill nearly any intimate moment. I’m not sure it’s the smartest long-term move by that condom company - I would think that’d knock your sales down by at least thirty percent. Can you imagine the injuries that implants that hard and pointy could cause? Jokes about poking an eye out aside – you really could end up with some sort of spleen puncture or something. Considering the Beckham’s “business savvy” (i.e. ability to make a lot of unnecessary cash from sticking their pictures and names on random products) I’m pretty sure we’ll end up with “Intimately Beckham” condoms here by the end of the week. In other Posh/David news, “Intimately Beckham” was on sale for 15% of its original price at my local Target yesterday.

Picture note by Celebitchy: David and Victoria Beckham are shown in a spread in W Magazine that came out last summer, and in an ad for their perfume.
