Kate Moss and Pete Doherty plan to move to New Jersey


Pete Doherty is out of his reportedly successful stint at court-ordered rehab, and the British rags are buzzing that he’s going to marry Kate Moss soon. We’ve heard this story before, with Pete bragging to his mates that he was going to marry Kate during an earlier reconciliation. Kate and Pete were said to be planning a wedding in Ibiza last month when one of Pete’s many drug busts forced the postponement of their nuptuals.

Now comes news that the crazy couple wants to move to America, and are considering buying a place in New Jersey!

A source said: “Kate is a huge fan of America and adores New York. She and Pete would love to move to the States, ideally by the end of the year, and spend as much time as possible there.

They are already inquiring about a three-bedroom penthouse in New Jersey and would obviously fit their work around being based there.

“Kate is no stranger to the States and has an exceptional reputation as a style icon there, so it makes perfect sense.
“Plus, both she and Pete reckon they won’t attract so much attention living there.

“Pete initially suggested the idea and told staff at the rehab centre where he has been battling drug addiction that he couldn’t wait to make the move as soon as possible.”

Our mole added: “It’s an ideal opportunity for them to spend much more time together.”

The couple were pictured last week enjoying a passionate clinch in the grounds of The Priory in Southgate, London, where Pete is having treatment.

And as we revealed last month, Pete and Kate also hope to tie the knot - with Pete joking Las Vegas may be an option.

Jersey City is hot right now, and Hoboken isn’t bad either. It would be hysterical to see these two settle down in Jersey, and it seems like a great choice for them. Connecticut is also close to New York city, but somehow Jersey seems more fitting.

Here are Kate and Pete at Dublin airport on 9/25. [via]

Six Flags gives line-jumping rights to cockroach eaters, PETA pissed


Six Flags Great America in Illinois is offering people free line-jumping priviledges during their Holloween season viist if they take a bite of a giant hissing Madagascar cochroach. PETA is calling this cruel. Since when did they defend insects?

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants Six Flags Great America to scrap its Halloween-themed cockroach-eating promotion.

A spokeswoman for the animal rights organization said the contest at the amusement park’s FrightFest is “gratuitously cruel.”

The park in Gurnee, Illinois, is joining other Six Flags parks in offering unlimited line-jumping privileges to anyone who eats a live Madagascar hissing cockroach. The bugs are up to three inches long…

Amusement park officials are defending their menu choice. Great America spokesman Jim Taylor says the bugs are nutritious, high in protein and fat free.

This is during freaking Halloween season, so it’s not like the lines are long enough to make it worthwhile to take a bite out of one of those nasty giant bugs. You don’t even get in free for eating one.

I was going to include a picture here, but the things are huge - they take up half your hand, and the thought of biting into one really skeeved me out. Here are some pictures of the Madagascar hissing cockroaches.

I would wait in line for three days before you would catch me eating one of those things, but I wouldn’t hesitate to crush one if I was wearing thick enough shoes.

Why is PETA defending bugs now? Sometimes I let spiders free on our balcony instead of smooshing them, but it seems over-the-top to come to the defense of these bugs, and PETA loses some credibility for it, in my opinion.

Six Flags also says they’re trying to find people willing to try to break the live Madagascar cockroach eating record of 36 in one minute. Of course there will be a huge crowd watch. If someone successfully breaks the record they’ll get four season passes with line-jumping status - for one year. That’s a crappy prize, and there’s no word on the consolation prizes for losers.

The whole promotion is pretty disgusting and dumb, but people are going to go for it and Six Flags is getting plenty of free publicity.

Thanks to Fark for linking this.

Lohan’s attempt to make Harry jealous fails miserably


Lindsay Lohan is said to have asked Starvos Niarchos ahead of time to make out with her in public in a bid to make Harry Morton jealous after he dumped her last week. She supposedly told Starvos that it would also get under Paris’ thin skin:

On Friday, the day after Morton dumped Lohan and she mysteriously turned up at arch-rival Hilton’s house for a party, Lohan’s rep Leslie Sloane Zelnik chirped that Lohan and Morton were back together.

But it wasn’t so. The devious redhead was overheard calling Hilton’s ex-love Stavros Niarchos on Saturday to ask for help in getting her revenge. According to our earwitness, Lohan told Niarchos, “No one can know I got dumped . . . You will look like a total stud, and it will drive Paris crazy [if we hang out together].”

Niarchos, who fooled around with Hilton just last week, was amenable to the plan. And so the pair appeared Sunday at Dragonfly in L.A. “where they held hands and made out all night and then drove in separate cars back to [Lohan's] suite at the Chateau.”

But Morton hasn’t swallowed the bait. Spies say Morton, who is sober and does not like to party, broke it off with Lohan because, “She was just too much for him. He tried to calm her down and succeeded a little bit - but it was exhausting. That, and she was extremely jealous and would harass him with texts, e-mails and phone calls constantly.”

Lohan needs to get her own life and interests beyond shopping and partying if she wants to keep a man. Men hate the clingy types, and they want a woman who is secure in herself and doesn’t smother them. Lohan is said to have stalked her ex, Wilmer Valderrama, after their breakup in late 2004. It wouldn’t be surprising if she gets all Glen Close on Harry.

x17 claims to have video footage of Lohan and Harry mid-breakup, and from the looks of the guy comforting Lohan, they might be right.

Now she’s pulling high school antics to try to get Harry’s attention again. She even wore a “Team Harry” hat out. That’s so dumb it might be clever.

Here she is outside of Hyde on 9/21. [via] I love that guy behind her trying to look cool by making a kissy face.

James Bond switches to beer, gets belly


Daniel Craig got so fat indulging in the local Czech cuisine while filming “Casino Royale” in Prague that producers hired him a trainer to get him back in Bond-shape for the role.

Craig lost two of his teeth while filming, got prickly heat, admitted he didn’t like guns or speedboats, and had to be schooled on how to play poker because he looked like an idiot in his card-playing scenes.

Movie marketers further messed with Bond’s image by cutting a deal with Ford to feature a Ford Mondeo in the film. They were also forced to make Bond’s trademark Aston Martin an automatic when it came out that Craig couldn’t drive a stick.

Now they’re making Bond’s transformation complete by reaching an endorsement deal with Heineken. Bond’s low-carb vodka martinis are going to be supplemented with the everyman’s drink, beer.

The suave hero - played by Daniel Craig, 38, in the next spy thriller Casino Royale - usually sips a vodka martini.

But Dan could well be knocking back the lagers after producers signed a deal with Heineken.

The Dutch brew will feature heavily in the actor’s Bond debut in return for global coverage of the movie in Heineken advertising.

But it may not be enough for new star Craig to win the title of best-ever Bond. A poll by sci-fi mag SFX found Sir Sean Connery, 75, is still the top 007 with fans.

Pierce Brosnan, 53, is second, followed by Roger Moore, 78.

Bond has gone to hell already, so it really doesn’t matter if he starts swilling beer while he’s driving an American car. He could still get naked, which might prove to be the saving grace for this franchise. Now that he’s lost his edge though, do we really care?

Ashlee Simpson in “Chicago”


Ashlee Simpson had her first performace as Roxie Hart in the “Chicago” musical in London’s West End last night. Celeb-friendly Hello! magazine says it was top notch and that Ashlee delivered the goods in a live performance after getting busted lip synching just last year:

London’s West End got a taste of high-octane American glamour when US pop starlet Ashlee Simpson made her debut in the musical Chicago on Monday night. The 21-year-old raised the roof of the Cambridge Theatre with a flawless performance in the role of femme fatale Roxie Hart.

The Texan belle’s superstar sister Jessica was on hand to provide her with plenty of moral support as her big moment arrived. And the chart-topping singer told reporters that being part of a famous family helped her understand the character she plays.

“The play absolutely is all about celebrity and wanting to be famous and have your name in the papers,” she explained. “In that sense, it’s been kind of cool because I’ve really got to connect to that because I’ve seen that world and been in that world.”

Ashlee obviously wasn’t too concerned about being seen as a VIP, though. “Doing theatre has been extremely humbling because it’s not about who you are,” she revealed. “You are not a celebrity when you come here. Everyone is equal – everyone has to work together.”

Since undergoing plastic surgery following her Marie Claire interview telling girls to accept their flaws, Ashlee has successfully reinvented herself. Big sister Jessica is in a bit of a slump with poor fashion choices and a high-profile divorce. Maybe Jessica she should get some advice from Ashlee on how to enjoy single life.

Meanwhile the Simpson sister’s controlling father/manager, Joe, is angering the co-producer of a new movie set to star Jessica, “Blonde Ambition.” “Malcolm in the Middle” star Justin Berfield is said to be annoyed with Simpson’s controlling ways, which may threaten the future of the film.

Here is Ashlee after her performance last night. [via]

Picture of Matt Damon, his wife and new baby


Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, were photographed with their cute three-month old baby, Isabella. This is the first picture I’ve seen of Isabella and she’s an adorable baby. Matt looks great with those glasses on.

Luciana and Matt enjoyed a rare date night out at club Hyde a couple of weeks ago. I posted at the time that said that Matt was so good at his craft that it’s hard to tell when he’s acting.

That turned out to be ironic in light of the video of Matt freaking out for getting snubbed on the Jimmy Kimmel show. I was initially fooled by the video, and a lot of readers ripped on me for believing that Matt was genuinely pissed. 66% of the over 450 people who voted said he was just acting, showing that he really is good at his job.

Sir Paul McCartney dedicates his new album to his late wife


In a classy ever-so-subtle dig at the harpie he’s divorcing, Heather Mills, Paul McCartney has dedicated his new album to the memory of his dear wife, Linda, who succumbed to breast cancer in 1998. He held a press conference for his new classical album, Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart). He spoke of how he poured his pain into the new album and used it as a way to work though his sadness. He ended the press conference good-naturedly when a reporter asked about his divorce:

McCartney, 64, spoke at a press conference in London for his new classical album, Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart). Asked how he’s faring these days, he said, “I’m doing fine. It’s okay. I am enjoying music. It’s something I love to do. It’s something that sustains me.”

The new album was inspired by McCartney’s late wife, Linda, who died of breast cancer in 1998. “It was started when Linda was alive,” he said. “It has a lot of my feelings for her in it.

“When she died it stalled me and it took a year or so to before I could get back into it,” he continued. “And the interlude in the middle, the sad melody, is what got me back into it. So her spirit is very much in this. It would have been her birthday yesterday, so it’s very appropriate.

The press conference came to an end when a reporter asked about a story that had appeared in the morning’s newspapers, apparently quoting McCartney as saying he found it hard to cope with his split from Mills.

McCartney said, “Now wait a minute. You’re a little renegade, coming out of the corner here. I haven’t read the Daily Mirror today. Have we someone breaking away from the script? I think we have.”

Paul had such a bond with Linda, and it’s sad and bittersweet that he is dedicating this album to her.

There was a report that Heather Mills was banned from a supermarket this weekend after being recognized for shoplifting there as a teenager, but that was undoubtedly a story made up by the British press, who are now free to make fun of her openly. (I may not believe that story, but I do think she was a high-paid hooker in the 80s. NSFW)

Heather and Paul’s divorce is said to be moving along amicably, with people speculating she could receive up to 200 million of his 800 million pound fortune as a settlement. Paul and Heather did not have a prenuptual agreement.

Thanks to Best Week Ever for the header picture of Paul showing us his real worth.

Anna Nicole named her daughter Danilynne. Was she inspired by Britney


In an interview on Larry King Live last night, Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer and self-proclaimed lover, Howard K. Stern, revealed that he thinks he’s the father of Anna’s baby. Papparazo Larry Birkhead also claims to be the father of the baby, and said he went to early doctor’s visits with Anna and was made to believe that the baby is his. I don’t think that Stern is the father and I’ll get into the reasons why in another post.

What interested me is the fact that Anna Nicole named her daughter “Danilynne” after her tragically departed son, Danielle, and his nickname for her as a child, Lynne. News reports have the name listed as “Dannie Lyne Hope,” with Hope being her middle name, but the CNN transcript of the interview lists it several times as one word: “Danilynne.” Stern states that “Danilynne” is her first name, not just “Dani”:

KING: We have an e-mail question from Irene in South Plainfield, New Jersey who wants to know, “What did Anna Nicole name her new daughter?”

STERN: Her name is Danilynne is the first name and Hope is the middle name and where that comes from is that Daniel used to call Anna or his mom Mamma Lynne.

KING: So, the girl’s name is Dani?

STERN: Danilynne.

Anna famously asked Britney Spears to be her friend a few months ago in a video message on her subscription-access website. While she was six month’s pregnant she said, “If you wanted to be friends, I would so much love to hang out with you. I think you’re totally cool and I think we’re going to have our babies about the same time.”

There was a report right before Britney Spears was due that claimed that Britney was having a girl she wanted to name “Jailynn,” also after members of her family. Some people thought it was a great name, while others pointed out that it had “Jail” in it, and sounded kind of silly.

Was Anna inspired by Britney to name her daughter “Danilynne?” It’s possible, but it’s also common to name a child after family members. The added “Lynne” built into the name just makes it seem a little close for coincidence considering that Anna Nicole asked Britney to be her friend.

Why I don’t think Howard K. Stern is the father of Anna Nicole’s baby


Last night in an interview on “Larry King Live,” Howard K. Stern claimed to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s newborn baby. I don’t think he’s telling the truth and here’s why:

  • Stern said several times that he believes he’s the father of the baby due to the “timing” of the baby’s conception.

    If this is true, why did Anna Nicole initially tell Larry Birkhead that he was the father? Birkhead insists that he’s the biological father, and his actions and statements seem to show that he genuinely believes this. The timing of his announcement right after the death of Anna’s son is incredibly inconsiderate, but that doesn’t make his message any less valid. Birkhead told Larry King in a statement:

    “I’ve been told by Anna Nicole Smith that I’m the father of her newborn child. I have proof of it. I’ve attended multiple doctors’ appointments, participated in the planning of this child up until a minor disagreement more than midway through the pregnancy. In order to eliminate the back and forth claims regarding paternity, I am requesting that a DNA test take place in the U.S.”

    And Stern insisted that he’s the real father, due to timing:

    KING: Another e-mail from Karen in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, “Why has Anna Nicole been so secretive about who the father of her new daughter is?”

    STERN: Well, I’m going to tell you that right now. Anna and I have been in a relationship and we love each other and it’s been going on for a very long time and because of my relationship as her lawyer, we felt that it was best to keep everything hidden. And we’ve actually done a pretty good job of that.

    KING: Sure have. So, you are the father?

    STERN: Yes, sir.

    KING: By the way, have there been an DNA tests taken?

    STERN: Proud father.

    KING: What?

    STERN: I said proud father.

    KING: Were DNA tests taken?

    STERN: Well, based on the timing of when the baby was born there really is no doubt in either of our minds.

    KING: Did Daniel know that you were the father?

    STERN: He did. He did.

    Anna Nicole gave birth by cesearian section, making it more difficult to tell the baby’s age. It is possible to estimate the conception date in the early stages of the pregnancy through a sonogram, but this is not a precise method.

  • Stern did not commit to taking a DNA test, and only said he would submit to one if “legally compelled”

    He focused on bashing Birkhead for selling his story, and used the weak argument that if Birkhead were the real father he would claim paternity legally. Stern is a lawyer, Birkhead is not. Birkhead has repeatedly asked for a DNA test, even if he doesn’t have the means or wherewithal to file suit to get one. If Stern is indeed Danilynne’s father, wouldn’t he want to clear that up with a DNA test right away?

    KING: If it got to a legal case, if supposedly there were lawsuits involved, would you take a DNA?

    STERN: Yes. I mean, at this point if he was able to file a lawsuit and do it, I don’t know why he hasn’t done it through legal means. I don’t understand, you know, why he would choose to go through the media to do what he’s done.

    But at this point I’m not going to do him any favors. I think the lawsuits down the line will probably be coming, is going to be coming from us.

    KING: But if it had come to that — if it came to that you would take the test because you’re convinced you’re the father, why not?

    STERN: Well, if legally compelled to do so, I will. But I’m not going to do any favors for him right now. It’s unforgivable to me the way that he — when everything that we’re going through right now, that he would go to the media and not wait until Daniel has been put to rest.

    I just for the life of me, I can’t understand that. And if he truly felt that he were the father, I just think he would have handled it very differently.

    Now why would Stern be doing Birkhead a favor by getting a DNA test if it proves that Stern’s the father? Doesn’t it seem like there’s no favor involved if he’s the true father of the baby?

  • Why did Anna Nicole Smith and Howard K. Stern move to the Bahamas?

    This is the most suspicious part of all. These two took up premanent residence in the Bahamas shortly before Anna Nicole Smith’s baby was due. Why would they do that? Birkhead claims that it is more difficult to establish paternity in the Bahamas. I’m not a legal expert, but he seems to be right. It seems to be the case that it is extremely difficult, if not impossible for the father to register paternity in the Bahamas without the mother’s consent

    As a general rule, the father of the child born out of wedlock is unable to register his paternity of such a child [in the Bahamas]. He must go with the mother or, not at all, unless, in certain jurisdictions, if the mother is dead or cannot be found. The inability of the father of an out of wedlock child to register his paternity without the mother’s cooperation can result in the child not knowing his or her parent and being denied family relations with his or her paternal family.

    (Source is a Word Document from a lecture given at UNICEF, “The rights of the Child and the Caribbean” If you have a more reliable source or a legal background and would like to provide additional information, please comment with it.)

    Now why would Howard K. Stern refuse to voluntarily take a DNA test and then move with Anna to the Bahamas - where establishing paternity is notoriously difficult - if he was the real father of her baby?
