Isla Fisher at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards


30 year old Isla Fisher is an Australian actress, model, and author. She is best known for her appearance in “Wedding Crashers” as Rachel McAdam’s clingy sister, Gloria Cleary. She won the 2006 MTV Movie Award for “Best Breakthrough Performance” for that role.

Fisher is engaged to the hysterical Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Ali G.

Here’s a little more about Fisher:

She played Shannon Reed, a fiery, opinionated teenager, on Australian soap Home and Away from 1994-1997. During this time, she wrote two books, Seduced by Fame, about an ambitious aspiring actress whose dreams come true when she wins a role on her favourite show, and Bewitched, about a naive ballerina who searches for her father and falls in love for the first time. Most recently, she starred in Wedding Crashers with Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Rachel McAdams, and won praise for her comedic performance in the movie. In June 2006 she collected the Breakthrough Performance prize at the MTV Movie Awards for her role in Wedding Crashers. In 2006 she starred as Becca, a Manhattan party host in the offbeat relationship drama London alongside Jessica Biel, Chris Evans and Jason Statham.

Of Scottish parentage, Fisher now resides in England with her fiancé British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G).

Isla’s acceptance speech at the MTV movie awards must have been excellent. She is quoted as saying: “For most people, playing a bipolar nymphomaniac would have been a challenge, but I just played myself.”

“Wedding Crashers” was the big winner at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards, taking home the golden popcorn for best picture and best on-screen team for Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.

Here is Isla at the MTV Movie Awards, which airs this Thursday night. [via]

Is there any hope for Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey’s relationship?


Jessica Simpson has been seen out looking unhappy and disheveled, and people suggested that she’s been seeing a therapist. Jessica has admitted to psychotherapy in the past, making it likely that she’s getting professional help during a difficult divorce.

When she was photographed leaving a medical clinic on May 29th she may have been seeing a doctor, not a psychiatrist as was suggested. A source told Britain’s OK magazine that Simpson underwent testing for a stomach ulcer. There is no word as to whether she suffered from an ulcer or was treated for it.

As Jessica and Nick get closer to reaching a settlement in their divorce Life and Style is reporting that Jessica has been calling Nick for long conversations late at night. She’s been known to drink and dial, so this could be true:

“There’s definitely a closeness that’s developed recently,” a friend of the couple tells Life & Style. “Things that used to burn them up, like who cheated and why, aren’t that big of a deal anymore,” another insider tells the weekly magazine.

The report claims that the pair are no longer fighting but spending late nights chatting on the phone and having tearful bedroom confessions about what went wrong.

L&S even consults Robert Butterworth a psychologist that tells the magazine that these types of last minute doubts are common. “People often file for divorce in a moment of anger then start remembering the good times as the reality of life without the other person sinks in, Butterworth tells the magazine.

The divorce could be final in just two weeks.

Nick and Jessica have gone back and forth trying to reach a divorce settlement, with Jessica most recently offering Nick an insulting $1.5 million, which he declined. He is entitled to half her earnings during their three year marriage, and she is said to have made $30 million last year.

If this report is true about Nick and Jessica talking frequently, Nick must realize that Jessica is letting her father Joe run the show as usual and is not responsible for trying to low-ball the divorce settlement.

Nick has moved on to a gorgeous new brunette, Kim Kardashian, while Jessica is single after being dumped by Maroon 5 frontman, Adam Levine. We think Nick feels for Jessica but that he’s not going to get back together with her.

Here’s Simpson at the CFDA fashion awards in NY last night. She seems happier, and it may be because she’s hanging out with her hairdresser, Ken Paves, who is visible is in the background. She looks a lot like Eva Mendes with her hair up like that.

Matthew McConaughey is a hero


Matthew McConaughey sometimes lives in an airstream trailer, doesn’t use deodorant, and has been involved in several well-documented incidents of heroism.

  • He Saved a cat from being burned alive by cruel children.
  • He rescued a baby from a coyote.
  • He also gave mouth to mouth resuscitation to a woman who had fainted, and then called her afterwards on her 50th birthday.

    In this latest story of McConaughey’s giving spirit, he hung out with a bunch of young people with cerebral palsy and was kind, patient and cool with them. OMG I love him!:

    Last week, a class of disabled children from Laurel Ridge Elementary School in Decatur (GA) were enjoying a picnic at Stone Mountain Park when McConaughey jogged past. When he saw the kids, he stopped by to chat with the students and their teachers.

    According to Laurel Ridge Elementary principal Mark Gordon, McConaughey told them he has a relative with cerebral palsy and was able to “talk” with the kids who rely on communication devices.

    We’re told that before resuming his run, the actor even helped to load the school’s coolers back on board the bus.

    Noted Gordon in an e-mail: “The teachers really enjoyed it!”

    That’s awesome and what a shame that McConaughey is single now. ;)

    Real picture of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt


    Thanks to MollyGood for landing this picture of Shiloh Nouvel before anyone else that I’ve bothered to check.

    These first pictures of the world’s most famous baby launched a bidding war at Getty Images, with representatives from celebrity magazines staying up all night to get a chance to buy the images:

    All the weekly magazine editors were summoned to the offices of the Getty photo agency at Canal and Varick late Saturday night. “We were sequestered into separate and un-air-conditioned offices,” said one. “The photos were shown to us around 10 p.m. to midnight, and then we had to submit bids by 6 a.m. Sunday morning. No one got any sleep at all, as it was a manic game of phone-tag to top each other’s bids. I’m convinced it was Brangie’s revenge on the weekly magazines.” The pictures went to People for $4.1 million.

    For now we just have a low res cover of “Hello.” The rest of the pictures are sure to come out in ten minutes or so.

    Update: slightly bigger version from Just Jared.

    Spice Girls may actually do a reunion tour (update: not true)


    There’s been a lot of talk about a Spice Girls reunion. Last we heard it wasn’t happening because the most successful former Spice Girl, Melanie C aka “Sporty,” was holding out since she actually has a music career and this could harm it. Now they’re said to be releasing a new single and planning a tour:

    The Spice Girls are reportedly releasing a new single to mark the 10th anniversary of their first hit.

    The former girl group - Posh Spice Victoria Beckham, Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell, Sporty Spice Mel C, Scary Spice Mel B and Baby Spice Emma Bunton - have already recorded the track, named ‘Woman’.

    They are reportedly releasing the song in July, to mark ten years since their debut, ‘Wannabe’, reached the number one spot in the UK.

    The girls are also said to be planning a reunion tour - and may even release more new material if ‘Woman’ is a hit.

    A source told Britain’s News of the World newspaper: “They are planning their tour but wanted a new song to mark their return. If it goes well they’ll look to release more material.”

    If that’s true it’s good news for new mom Geri Halliwell. She’s been begging her friends for a place to stay in the countryside with her newborn, Bluebell Madonna. She says she can’t afford her own house, but Hello! magazine reportedly paid her six figures for the first photoshoot with her newborn.

    Update:: Reader Margarita points out that the single “Woman” is from 2000, meaning this news is old and not true. They were said to be talks for a reunion tour, but it was a no-go due to Sporty’s reluctance to join the project.

    Why does Shiloh have teeth? (update: pics are real, anyway)


    Thanks to commentor Tink for pointing out that Shiloh has teeth in the picture of her on the cover of “Hello!” magazine that came out today. This means it’s probably a clever PhotoShop job. I couldn’t find any pictures of Angelina looking down like this, but if you’ve seen a similar image that could have been used to make this composite please let me know.

    According to BabyCenter, only 1 in 2,000 babies is born with teeth:

    Only one in 2,000 babies is born with teeth, though. The vast majority sprout their first tooth between 4 and 7 months of age.

    It’s possible, but improbable that this picture is real. If this is a real photo, Shiloh is rarer than we thought.

    Update: Thanks to everyone who commented and pointed out that:
    a) Teeth in newborns is not that rare
    b) This could be camera glare on the baby’s gums, which may be calloused from breastfeeding
    c) These pictures are real because everyone’s getting cease and desist letters to pull them. (Except for me, since I’m under the radar. Maybe next week they’ll threaten me. In the mean time, I have no clue.)

    Heather Mills gains full custody of her daughter


    Heather Mills McCartney denies that the porny pictures of her that came out this week are hardcore, stating instead that they were for a German “lover’s guide” to help couples spice up their relationship:

    A letter sent to The Sun editor Rebekah Wade reads, “This photo shoot, undertaken approximately 20 years ago, was for the purpose of a ‘lover’s guide’ to caring relationships and instructive sex in the same way as are many other books on the market.

    “The photo shoot was not pornographic or for the purposes of gratification of the viewer.”

    She can’t deny that it’s her or that she’s performing simulated sexual acts for the camera. It’s a clever defense that shouldn’t do much to stem the embarassment from the photos. She can always add this to the nasty “Fact vs. Fiction” section of her website for posterity.

    McCartney is said to be “devastated” by the explicit pictures of Mills that were published in The Sun, and may have discussed them with Mills on Monday:

    “This has come as a real shock to Paul and those around him. He is beside himself over the whole thing.”

    “His priority is making sure his daughter Beatrice’s best interests are looked after.”

    Meanwhile one of Heather’s friends said that she was advised against having a baby due to medical limitations and that she only had two and a half year-old Beatrice to please Paul.

    Despite fleeing to Yugoslavia recently without her child, Mills has gained full custody of her daugher, with visitation rights for McCartney.

    Heather plans to appear on Larry King Live to give her story about the breakup. We can’t wait.

    We also wonder if her “Life Balance” book will be released next month as scheduled. Releasing a preachy self help book during her high profile divorce won’t make her a hypocrite or anything.

    Britney hits the gym; wants to design baby clothes


    Britney Spears was photographed working out on Monday! She was even wearing makeup. This is good news for Britney. She’s learning to drive stick, has a new car and a new male nanny and may be divorcing Kevin finally. Now that she’s working out you can be sure that she’s getting out of the rut she’s been in since hurting her ankle in 2004 and shacking up with K-Fed.

    Britney is said to be planning to design her own line of baby clothes a la Gwen Stefani. She’s reportedly bored and doodling sketches for an infant fashion line aimed at high-end boutiques:

    According to The Sun, he pregnant singer said: “I’ve spent so much shopping for Sean I thought, ‘I could do that and have people paying me a fortune.’”

    A friend of Britter’s added: “She’s had a lot of time on her hands where it’s just her and Sean and she would doodle designs. She’s really creative and loves doing it.

    “She’s designed a little punk rock outfit, a hip hop outfit and a sharp suit. They’re so cute! I think she’ll try and get boutiques to sell them. She doesn’t want to fund it herself.”

    Britney has terrible fashion taste, but people are going to market and buy that crap if this story is true. My son has several outfits that people have bought him with ears and tails on them. It’s not like you can humiliate a baby by dressing him in dumb clothing. Babies are just about the only demographic that Britney can safely design for.

    Here she is at the gym. Thanks to breatheheavy.com for these photos, which were supposedly taken two days ago on June 5th.

    Kevin Federline’s homies deny divorce rumors


    TMZ has a report stating that one of Kevin Federline’s boys has denied the rumors that Kevin and Britney are headed for a divorce:

    TMZ hit the pavement in the San Fernando Valley where Kevin Federline hangs with his friends at an apartment complex in Studio City, Calif.

    One friend, decked out in baggy pants and sunglasses, claims the talk of divorce is false. “Everything you read in the tabloids about their relationship is fabricated,” the buddy said, claiming “They’re still together.”

    Others interviewed at the complex agreed that the divorce talk is off base, but no one would agree to officially go on the record with a quote.

    Kevin’s staying in an apartment in California and hasn’t been spotted with Britney in 74 days according to Us Weekly’s counter. His friends are quick to say he’s still with Britney but clearly he’s not. Whether she’s filed and signed divorce papers yet is another matter.

    The National Ledger points out that Kevin’s friends may say he’s still with Britney but that Britney and K-Fed’s publicists aren’t saying a word. Kevin’s publicist put out a press release when he donated his hair, so you know if he’s still with Britney they would be all over that.

    Here is Britney at an Orange County resort yesterday with her manny, Henry.
