Jennifer Aniston bawled like a baby ’cause she can’t have one


Jennifer Aniston is said to have broken down in tears upon hearing that little Shiloh had seen the light of day. This sounds like crap someone would make up, and I have very little faith in the British rags, so take it for what it is:

Aniston, 37, tried to be brave about the news, which broke two weeks ago, by calling Pitt’s mother Jane to send her best wishes.

But pals are concerned the former “Friends” star is still traumatized over Pitt’s new life with Angelina Jolie.

Aniston’s friend Tiffany Laws tells Britain’s Star magazine, “Jen just burst into tears.

“She tried to cover it up in front of Vince but he assured her it was OK to cry.

“Jen called Brad’s mom to offer her congratulations but couldn’t get through.

“I think she had the feeling, ‘That could have been my baby.’”

This could be true, but it’s too personal for a friend to blab about to some random British gossip rag and we doubt it.

Jen may say she wants children but she balked when asked by Regis if she ever babysits Courtney Cox’s daughter, Coco, practically shouting “No!”.

The good news for Jen is that her career may be salvaged even if she is indifferent and infertile. “The Break Up” did much better than expected at the box office and bested “X-Men 3″ despite terrible reviews.

Here she is at a press conference for “The Breakup” in Sydney. Thanks to Hollywood’s Best for these photos.

Jennifer Lopez: still not pregnant, still married to skeletor


I’m starting to feel sorry for Marc Anthony. Not only is he married to Jennifer Lopez, he also looks like he’s suffering from an intestinal disorder or is addicted to heroin. He really needs to take some vitamins and do a liver cleanse. Maybe J.Lo feels sorry for him too, which would explain the record-breaking nearly two year length of her latest marriage. Or she could just be such an ambitious woman that she refuses to give up on Anthony’s sperm. She might think that since he already has three children he’s got to have it in him to produce one more, even if he looks like he’s at death’s door.

TMZ quotes a boutique store employee as saying that Lopez still had flat abs when she shopped there with her new friend Leah Remini last week, and The Post Chronicle claims that J.Lo told an insider that the paparrazi are following her constantly because they think she’s pregnant. According to a thinly veiled work of fiction about J.Lo, she deliberately tries to get the press to think she’s pregnant for publicity purposes.

In these latest photos if her leaving the gym with Leah Remini [via] and at the 2006 Crystal & Lucy Awards, [via] she doesn’t look pregnant at all.

Heather Mills got it on with the guy she posed with in the porny “Lovers Guide”


Heather Mills says that sex book she posed for in the 80s wasn’t hardcore porn at all - it was just an innocent “Lover’s Guide” meant to help frigid Germans better connect with their significant others.

It seems like the poses in the book are effective, because the guy she’s pictured with says he made sweet love to her afterwards:

LADY Mucca’s partner in porn is set to tell the world they had passionate sex over and over again after the cameras stopped clicking.

The curly-haired male model is hoping to bag thousands of pounds by selling his story of how he did it for real with Heather Mills.

His move will heap yet more shame on Sir Paul McCartney’s estranged wife — mother of his two-year-old daughter Beatrice.

Yesterday it emerged her divorce settlement from the former Beatle could be slashed.

Lawyers for 63-year-old Paul are bound to cite her pornographic past as grounds for his payout — until now estimated at £200million — to be reduced.

Heather, 38, suffered a THIRD knock as it was revealed top shelf men’s magazines are preparing to publish some of the filthiest images from her photo shoot with the male model.

There’s also no way that book is just a how-to manual, since there is no text in it that would add even a smidgeon of legitimacy to Mills’ claim.

The Sun asked everyday people to review it for uh, educational content, and they were unanimous that it’s porn:

Shown pages of the German book, called The Joys of Love, catering worker Madeline Johnson said: “It’s just too rude to be a guide — the pictures show everything.” Madeline, 30, of Clapton, East London, added: “It would have some sort of text if it was meant to be educational. It’s definitely porn.”

Journalist Ruth Lumley, 26, of Brighton, said: “Blimey, I’ve never come across a ‘sex education’ book that has whipped cream in it.”

Facilities manager John Bertram, 52, of Manchester, said: “It would need more text and less in the way of edible undies and thongs. In this situation Heather is definitely a porn star.”

Printer Andrew Love, 42, of Basildon, Essex, declared the book “fairly hard core”.

And engineer Stuart Lye, 31, of Chingford, Essex, said: “After ten pages it’s clear you’re not going to learn much with all these whips and things.”

The more details we learn, the more it seems like the leak of these dirty pictures is definitely beneficial to Sir Paul, even if he didn’t get joint custody of his daughter.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt press conference 13 HQ photos


Angelina and Brad did their bit for Namibian tourism by confirming that Shiloh will have Namibian citizenship in a press conference today. They praised the medical care they received in the African nation and tried to justify their extreme security measures. They also said they’re coming back to the states in just a few more days:

The Hollywood glamour pair spoke to local journalists at a press briefing at the four-star Hansa Hotel in Swakopmund at the edge of the Namib desert where Jolie gave birth by Caesarian Section.

“We couldn’t have picked a better place to have our child,” said Jolie, looking healthy and relaxed in a black dress. Pitt agreed: “We are very proud that our daughter was born here”.

Pitt said the couple had “done their homework” before deciding on Namibia as the birthplace of their first biological and third child.

“The health of our daughter and Angie’s was imperative. We’ve had absolute top-notch medical assistance,” Pitt said.

The couple reiterated their gratitude to the people of the sparsely populated country, which has come under intense media interest since their arrival two-and-a-half months ago.

“We are eternally grateful to the Namibian people,” Pitt said. “Namibia is one of Africa’s best kept secrets - until we came of course.”

The couple had been “afforded a lifestyle here we could not have anywhere else” and that Namibia has been “a wonderful place to be with our kids.”

The couple said they planned to remain in the country for just a few more days before returning to the United States. “Just a few more days. My mother is dying to see the baby,” Jolie said.

On the tight security around the couple, Jolie said they had wished this had not been necessary but felt “the birth should be done in a way that was peaceful.”

Pitt explained that having “a child with a bounty on its head” before its birth, had brought about the need for bodyguards to shield the family.

Pitt said he’s going to work on “Oceans 13″ next, while Jolie will concentrate on her role as a mother.

Our favorite reader Millie says of these pictures that Angelina “looks fantastic and is clearly breastfeeding.” We agree. To borrow an expression from The Bastardly, Ow!

Angelina and Brad are shown with Namibian first lady Penehupifo Pohamba, regional governor Samuel Nuujoma and Child Welfare Minister Marlene Mungunda.

Thanks to Hollywoods Best for these photos and Just Jared for the interview text.

Is the Glam Network a big scam?

picture of Glam.com website with the caption - is this a big scam or just deceptive business practices?
Top gossip and fashion blogs are members of the “Glam Network,” a celebrity and fashion site that partners with blogs with the promise of advertising revenue from ad placement. The Glam Network is scamming fashion and gossip bloggers into giving them massive free advertising in exchange for a small link on the Glam website and the promise of ad revenue which never materializes.

The Glam Network lures bloggers with exclusivity and .50 cents a click. After applying to join, your blog might get approved about a month later and you’re sent a lengthy contract that states that Glam will pay you .50 cents a click for third party ads, which they can swap out with ads for Glam.com at their discretion. This sounds like a decent deal and it seems better than the payout for AdSense or CrispAds.

Glam never explains the contract in simple terms, and there are no Terms of Service or FAQs for Glam Network bloggers on their website.

In order to finalize your membership you’re required to place one Glam ad, either 160×600, 300×250, or 728×90 on your site, along with a small Glam membership logo and a 160×200 Glam “Module” which features content from Glam. Most sites choose the large 728×90 vertical banner, assuming they’re getting .50 cents a click.

Here’s the relevant part of the contract:

Glam will pay the Blog $.50 for every click through that is generated from the Blog site to the third-party advertisers site from the ad placed on the Bloggers site. When no Banners from third-party advertisers are placed in the Advertising on the Blog, Glam shall at its option, place Glam.com Banners in the Advertising unit at no cost to Glam.

The thing is - Glam doesn’t give any payout for its own ads, and third party ads are rarely, if ever, seen. It also doesn’t offer any real time statistics or network blog control panel. Get this - you have to e-mail them to request statistics and then take their word on it.

It is incredibly rare to see a third party ad on a Glam Network blog, and the Standard Blog Contract states that Glam can swap out the ads with free Glam ads at their discretion.

Celebitchy was approved for the Glam Network and we signed the contract this week. We got suspicious after we realized that we wouldn’t receive any paying ads for a while, and that there were no statistics available.

Our contact at Glam e-mailed us:

Yes it is 50 cents per click for non -Glam ads. We do offer a small amount [of ad revenue] for the non-Glam ads to blogs that have very high traffic. If you would like we can revisit in a couple of months and if your traffic has increased we have no problem revising the contract. I hope this answers your questions.

I answered:

How do I get non-glam ads?

We take care of that for you. We rotate the ads and alternate between 3rd party and Glam ads…The higher the traffic and the better ctr rate of your blog the more 3rd party ads you get.

When we checked, only one Glam network blog had an ad that wasn’t for Glam.com. We e-mailed with a top gossip blog that gets a huge amount of traffic and they said that they’ve had Glam ads up since April and only saw a third party ad appear occasionally at the beginning of this month, June

No one has ever been paid by Glam that we could verify. That same top gossip site told us that they’ve never seen a dime from Glam despite having their ads up since April.

Two other gossip bloggers told us they assumed they would be receiving .50/click for the huge ads on their site from Glam, and did not realize that there was no payout for Glam.com ads.

Glam is a much worse deal than CrispAds or AdSense because you don’t get paid for every click - you get paid when Glam decides to throw you a bone, but they haven’t paid anyone yet!

Glam might continue to get away with this because bloggers are afraid of being sued. The contract that we signed states that we have to give Glam 90 days notice before removing their ads.

We suggest that everyone who thought they would be receiving .50 a click for Glam ads remove them immediately.

To be fair, they did withdraw our contract without penalty when we requested it a day after signing up.

Once Glam tries to sue us for reporting this, we’ll let you know. We’re not going to take this down if they threaten us.

Update: One blogger claims to have been paid “not much” in March, but another e-mailed us to ask if we’d been paid, and said “Have you gotten paid yet? Not just told how much you’re getting paid, but have you actually gotten paid? I haven’t and it’s been over a month.” We only had Glam ads up for a day, so they’re never going to pay us.

Brad may not be the father of Angelina’s Baby!


The National Enquirer says that Angelina is freaking out because she had sex with someone else right around the time she conceived Shiloh and that Brad Pitt might not be her biological father!

“Angelina Jolie has been struggling with the most explosive Hollywood secret ever! Brad Pitt may not be the father of here newborn daughter, a source tells The Enquirer!”

Sources tell the mag that Angelina told pals she slept w/another man before getting pregnant, and now is worried that Brad may not be the baby daddy! Throughout her entire pregnancy sources say she suffered quietly after doing the math that lead her to fear Brad might not be the father. If you remember back in November, I covered a story that was featured in In Touch Weekly (check it here) that claimed Angelina’s ex Jonny Lee Miller was goin’ about town saying shit like he was still boinking Angelina and that Brad would be very upset if he ever found out. NE claims that Angie is totally freaked out about losing her man and desperately wants to keep him away from his ex Jennifer Aniston. She reportedly wants to pack up the family, stay outta Malibu (Jen’s territory) and move it to France. If Angie has it her way, they’ll be living there for years to come!

If Brad is a cuckhold (I just love using that word) that’s obviously much worse than having to deal with moving around the world at your girlfriend’s whim, and he might not put up with it!

The Enquirer could have made this up in order to move copies, but given Angelina’s sexual past it’s kind of believable. That’s incredible! At least the baby is passably Brads for now. We’ll have to see what she looks like when she grows into her features.

Here’s the latest real picture of the world’s most famous couple and baby from People Magazine. (Thanks Millie!)
The rest of the pictures come out in People this Friday, June 9th.

Thanks to Tabloid Whore for the story.

Britney’s hot “manny” is really her new security guard


Britney’s “Manny” is not a childcare expert at all - he’s a security guard who graduated from the Naval Academy and chose a career as Britney’s security guard instead of working for a private security firm in Iraq. He also has a hot girlfriend, so he can’t be shagging Britney, right?

Britney’s hitherto mysterious companion is Perry Taylor, a 28-year-old Naval Academy graduate who played on Navy’s lacrosse team and who grew up and went to high school in the Washington, D.C., area.

What’s more, quelling rumors that Perry may be taking the place of K-Fed, Perry’s mom, Caroline, tells TMZ her son is living with a six-foot brunette (she’s Perry’s height) and that she’s been his girlfriend for two years. Perry’s mom calls the girlfriend “a bombshell” and coos she’s “the best girl he’s ever been with. They’re really happy.”

Perry and his paramour moved to the West Coast so that Perry could pursue a career in private security. The All-American kid, who graduated from the Academy in 2000, wanted to work in security in Iraq and Afghanistan but, says his mom, “the women in his life talked him out of it.” He got his current gig working for a security company, and, according to his mother, worked for another blonde celeb, whom she wouldn’t name. Mom says she had never even heard of Britney Spears until her son started working for her.

His Mom tells TMZ that he doesn’t know much about babies, and is “just learning” how to care for Sean Preston. He looks like he’s a quick learner to us, and he would make a great dad!

That’s too bad that he has a girlfriend, because everyone wanted to attribute Britney’s personal changes to an affair with the mystery man. Reader Millie pointed out that Princess Caroline married her bodyguard, so it’s possible for Britney, too!

It looks like Britney can take full credit for her new outlook, and that might be the best news of all.

Here is Perry getting groceries. [via] Obviously the source we quoted in an earlier report that claimed his name was “Henry” was wrong.

    Russell Crowe is a needy manipulator


    An article in the Sydney Morning Herald discusses how Russell Crowe tried to manipulate a journalist into writing positive stories about him, with the promise of becoming his publicist. Crowe had the guy and his wife over to his house several times, initially asking him to promote his sophmoric album to his friends in the press corps. He offered to pay him for his services, but the writer, who has a family and could have used the money, refused for moral reasons.

    The journalist, Jack Marx, soon discovered how Crowe gets lauded in the press - he pulls this same buddy scam with tons of journalists, and even phones people personally to discuss negative articles about him.

    Crowe befriended Marx and groomed him to write an article about him while he was promoting “Cinderella Man.” Marx initially refused, saying he was too close to Crowe to be objective. Crowe insisted though, and Marx went through with it. When the article came out and it was cautiously positive and believable instead of kissing Crowe’s ass - Crowe turned on him and dumped him as a friend.

    And it was during these times that I saw evidence of something that made me wince - Crowe’s bizarre propensity for nickel-and-dime media manipulation. It seemed Russell was running his own parallel, one-man PR fix-it campaign. It was much the same as my own, but he was pitching himself to journalists while I was handling his CD. He’d go through the daily papers and call journalists in person, chastising them for perceived inexactitudes. There was nothing morally corrupt about this, but I found it a silly pastime for a man of his stature. Sometimes it did him no service at all.

    He once bragged to me about how he had called a prominent Sydney gossip columnist who had been dumping on him, promising her that should she publish a positive word or two, he would grant her an exclusive interview. Like magic, a nice mention appeared in her column the following week, and the exclusive interview followed. It was doubtful, I thought, this transaction hadn’t been noted by the columnist’s peers, who’d consider her weak and Russell quite the meddler. If he needed an answer for why so many journalists disliked him, I thought, he need look no further.

    That I was part of this nonsense was not lost on me, and at times it troubled me beyond mere embarrassment. One evening, I discussed with Russell a particular journalist who seemed to dislike him, and I suggested some approaches that might be useful in changing the journalist’s mind. With a schoolboy laugh, Russell shook his head and declared that if it were too much trouble, he’d just have the bastard killed. He was joking, of course, and we both laughed a lot. But it got me to thinking: I wondered if this had ever happened in the annals of Hollywood’s history with the press. Syndicates have killed for less, and we are talking about multi-million dollar estates…

    What’s more, I began to doubt whether my friendship with Russell Crowe was altogether exclusive. There were sightings of Russell taking long strolls with rival journalists. There was talk of him writing a book with another. On the grapevine, I heard of another Cinderella Man article in the works, the local journalist disclosing her friendship with Russell and telling of their late night chatter at the film star’s north coast farm. I had been stroking my own ego with such industry it hadn’t occurred to me that there may be other ponies on the same carousal.

    Marx’s article on Crowe came out, and was praised by other writers for presenting the bombastic actor as a decent guy with regular human failings. Crowe was mighty pissed at Marx for not making him seem better than God, and blew him off with a one-line e-mail: “Yeah, yeah, whatever.”

    Crowe later wrote him a longer message, completely dismissing him.

    Crowe is a total asshole, and the next time you see a positive story about him in the press, realize that he most likely called the journalist or had her over for dinner. That seems to be his pasttime when he’s not abusing hotel staff, trying to pass himself off as a humble singer, or getting paid millions to act in films.

    The Sydney Morning Herald e-mailed me this story, and it was quite a useful tip. E-mail tips to info at celebitchy.com.

    Is Marc Anthony gravely ill?


    Marc Anthony took out a bizarre ad in Variety, declaring his love for J.Lo in the format of a film script:

    The crooner spent the money to honor his wife Jennifer Lopez, who picked up a 2006 Women in Film Crystal Award Tuesday night in LA.

    The ad appeared in Tuesday’s daily edition of Variety, which charges $8,000 for a full page ad. The ad was written like a movie script, outlining a scene at an award show, describing Lopez as “the most beautiful woman” and “Lola.”

    This is our theory, and we have reader Angelika to thank for the insight: something is totally wrong with Marc Anthony. He looks deathly ill, with bags under his eyes and a sunken face. We think he’s suffering quietly from an illness and wants to let Lopez know in the most public way possible that he loves her. Doesn’t this seem like the type of thing a dying person would do? He says “Here’s to never waking up, Baby,” in the ad, which could be a dual reference to the dream-like state of love and death. Unless their two year marriage is in trouble, which would be completely uncharacteristic of J.Lo, it seems like the most plausible explanation.

    We’re oversensationalizing this story, though, because there were three other ads from studios praising J.Lo in that issue of Variety, and Anthony probably just wanted to add his loving regards.

    Shiloh baby pictures (update: HQs)


    Thanks to reader Millie for e-mailing me to let me know that I’m not Obsessed had the Shilloh baby pictures that are coming out in People and Hello!. Unfortunately they had to be taken down, but we’re under the radar for now and found them on the Saving Face Forum. This family is so cute that we feel sort of bad questioning Shiloh’s parentage.

    In the press conference with Brad yesterday, Angelina dismissed claims that she may marry the supposed father of her newborn baby, saying that they are committed to their children, but that “to have a ceremony on top of it is nothing.” Getting married is nothing indeed, Angelina, especially when you have no plans to do it.

    These photos are from Italian Vanity Fair.

    Update: higher quality images thanks to CelebVent and originally from JustJared.
