Colin Farrell says his son “gave him a reason to live” and that he hasn’t had a drink in six long months.

He was once such a user that he spent over three hours begging a 70 year-old woman to sleep with him. Maybe he just wanted the experience:

Colin, 30, is now clean and sober, except for chain smoking, and is ready to be a responsible father. His sister watches his 3 year-old son, James, while he’s on set.

If Colin really did try to sleep with a 70 year-old woman, the memory must be as powerful a motivator to stay off drugs as the feeling of responsibility for his infant son.

Here is Colin on the set of his new movie, (title unknown) on 7/11. [via]

Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley were married last weekend in California, and Canada.com has the official photos. They’re low quality, but clear and lovely, and show the happy couple exchanging rings, kissing, eating the cake, and taking off Avril’s garter during the reception. Picture captions include details such as the chandelier that hung from the flower-draped awning under which they were married, and their four-tiered half-chocolate half-vanilla wedding cake.

Avril says that the ceremony was an emotional moment for her, and that she did her best to keep poised:

Guests took home guitar picks with the bride and groom’s name, and custom gift boxes. I wonder how long it will take before they hit eBay.

Jack Nicholson and a normal-looking Lara Flynn Boyle were photographed on holiday together in Saint Tropez.

Now I had conveniently forgotten that Lara Flyn Boyle also dated David Spade, but Jack Nicholson was definitely a move up for her at the time.

Now that Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock also reunited in Saint Tropez - and are getting married - exes around the world are going to flock to the French Riveria to get back that certain spark that cheating and fighting put out the last time around.

Britain’s The Sun is not a very reliable source, but I couldn’t pass this up: Kevin Federline is planning to hammer yet another nail into the coffin of Britney’s dormant career by asking her to sing over his “rapping” on his latest album:

I won’t believe this is true until I read it in another more reputable source, because K-Fed hasn’t been around Britney and he doesn’t seem humble enough to ask for her help yet.

Kevin was said to have passed up Britney’s offer to work with her talented producers on his album a few months ago, and if the crap he’s released on his myspace is any indication, it was a dumb move. He now seems to be working with Britney’s producers, though, and wants to beat Justin Timberlake on the charts.

Kevin is said to be totally obsessed with being better than his wife’s famous ex:

Whatever, K-Fed. Timberlake is a mediocre talent, but he can still rap and sing much better than you ever will, even with the best help in the business. You really suck and you’re dragging your stupid tiger-loving wife down with you. Given the fact that she still hasn’t dumped your ass, she kind of deserves it.

I’ve ignored this story for a while, thinking it will go away on its own, but it just keeps getting better. Supermodel Christie Brinkley’s fourth husband, architect Peter Cook, cheated on her with the babysitter, I mean some barely legal girl who worked in their town, and she’s leaving him.

Cook, 47, seduced 19 year-old aspiring singer and shopgirl Diana Bianchi by initially promising to help her with her career. He hired her to work for him at his architecture firm and doubled the salary she made in retail. He wore her down gradually by wining and dining her and playing to her aspirations.

Brinkley, 52, was clueless about the year-long affair until the girl’s father, a Southhampton policeman, confronted Cook in front of her at a party and told him to “stop dating my daughter!” To the classic supermodel’s credit, she threw her cheating husband out of the house the next day.

Now Pop Singer Samantha Cole, who had a hit with the song “Happy with You,” says that Cook seduced her ten years ago when she was barely 18 in a strikingly similar story to the way he snagged Bianchi. He gave her a job at his architecture firm and eventually convinced her to date him.

Cook was single at the time, but when a then 19 year-old Cole broke up with him in 1996 he rebounded hard - by marrying Christie Brinkley:

Cole says that she was surprised Cook ended up with Brinkley, five years his senior, because he always seemed to prefer younger women. She says he was a gentleman, though, and treated her with respect.

The NY Daily News examines why men stray. It seems Cook wanted to recreate his earlier, exciting relationship. He also was undoubtedly looking for attention and validation:

I met an older, semi-rich, married guy on the train from NY to Connecticut once. He chose to sit next to me and it didn’t take long before he told me his story. He left his first wife for his mistress, who he once had hot frequent sex with. His wife was no longer putting out, though, and the marriage was stifling and boring.

He revealed that his wife was working to get her real estate license and that she also cared for their 7 year-old twin sons. I told him that if he wanted hot sex with his wife he should take some time to listen to her, and try to make things romantic again. He said he gave her all she ever wanted monetarily, along with a fabulous house, so why should he be bothered with talking to her? The asshole was trying to pick me up because his second marriage was failing predictably, just like his first. Once a cheater…

Jennifer Garner arrived in Boston from Arizona by private plane with her eight month-old daughter, Violet. She soon found out that the SUV that was transporting her back to Cambridge was not equipped with a carseat. She wasn’t having that, and set an example for celebrity moms everywhere by insisting that one be installed before she left:

Jen’s quite an intelligent woman, and she would never jeopardize her baby’s safety just to get somewhere a little faster.

Ben and Jen are said to be considering a permanent move to Cambridge. They are staying in the Boston suburb, home to MIT to Harvard, while Ben directs “Gone Baby Gone.” Ben’s mom and Jennifer’s sister live nearby, and sources say they may make it their home base:

I love it in Cambridge and always stay there when I visit Boston. It’s a bitch to drive around the city, but the subway is pretty logical and convenient, and it seems like a nice place to live.

Garner is rumored to be pregnant again, with Star Magazine saying that she recently left a medical building looking happy and talking on her cellphone, and eagle-eyed bloggers like us pointing out that her stomach is not perfectly flat. It doesn’t seem likely.

Newly divorced Eddie Murphy and former Spice girl Melanie B., aka Scary Spice, have been dating a little over a month. They’ve already gotten tattoos with each other’s names on them, and now they’re planning on doing something a little less permanent to seal their relationship. Rumor has it they’re planning on getting married this September in LA:

Marrying someone less than a year after meeting them usually means the relationship is doomed - especially in Hollywood. This is not going to last, and if Murphy has any cash left from the 90s Scary is going to do well in the settlement.

Fred “touch my balls and my ass” Durst announced on his myspace that he’s planning on marrying his new girlfriend, some chick called Krista from Rhode Island:

This might last a month or two longer than Scary Spice and Eddie Murphy since there’s a non-industry person involved, but not much longer.

Limp Bizkit frontman Durst, 35, dated Britney Spears, and Pamela Anderson in 2003, and Paris Hilton in 2004. Durst’s Sidekick was hacked in February of last year, and a cringe-inducing sex tape featuring the singer was released onto the ‘net. Durst promptly sued everyone who tried to post it, but then reneged and apologized to some. He is generally considered a male slut with a soft side. He was said to be heartbroken when Britney rebuffed him.

The video for Jessica Simpson’s new single, “A Public Affair,” contains enough T&A to make up for the lousy music. Eva Longoria, Christina Applegate and Christina Milian skate around, and Maria Menounos plays the role of Jessica’s ex-husband’s new girlfried, Vanessa Minnillo, in a fantasy catfight.

Oh, and Jessica Simpson deep throats an ice cream cone in a brief clip that seems to reveal what she plans to do with the dessert afterwards in order to keep her figure. The thumbnail links to a larger version. [via]

Here’s the video which you’ve probably already seen.

And here’s Jessica Simpson at TRL and outside the studios. MTV made sure Vanessa Minnillo wasn’t hosting that day. [via]
