Angelina Jolie could not have spelled it out clearer when she said she’s not pregnant and that she’s on the pill. Everyone said it was TMI from Angelina, and I was pretty surprised that she revealed so much of her personal life during her interviews promoting the super-boring Good Shepherd movie.

I was making fun of this picture for looking like it was posed. Some commentors said she was just looking at something high up in this candid taken while she was touring the Panama Canal, but I thought she was trying to look studious for the paparazzi. No matter, I know I would be posing all over the place if cameras followed me every day.

One thing I was pretty oblivious to was the little tiny supposed “bump” that Angelina is sporting. She looks damn good to me, but if you squint you can see a small roundness that could be mistaken for a baby bump by an imaginative gossip journalist on a slow news day.

Commentor kailie2 said “her pose will surely send the tabloids into a ‘baby bump’ frenzy.” Life & Style is all over that:

At a museum in Panama on Dec. 28, Angelina Jolie held Brad Pitt’s hand and gazed at the works of art on the walls. But the most eye-catching image was Angie herself: Wearing a dreamy smile and white jeans and a tank top, she revealed a definitive belly bump — the first telltale sign of pregnancy!

To read more about how Angie’s hiding her bump and adjusting her diet, pick up this week’s issue of Life & Style on sale now!

Some people commenting on the Life & Style site say she does look pregnant, but many people are saying she’s just leaning backwards and it’s pushing her little stomach forward. It’s no wonder these celebrities are so thin when their bodies are scrutinized just to give us more crap to gossip about.

We have a new artist creating original art for us as you may have noticed, and are pleased to announce that we will be posting art produced exclusively for Celebitchy by UrbanDK. You can see more of his work on Flickr, and can reach him at: kalalabad@gmail.com

Here’s his description of his latest illustration:
It’s the Nightmare After Christmas as rumors whirl about the The Thai Beaches and British tabloids about the unholy union between Kate Moss and Pete Doherty. A train wreck that all sorts of 90s-also-rans have been trying to throw interventions at — but the waif will verily be a wife –although her publicist so far denies it!

Just as Demi Moore has an interview published in Vanity Fair in which she reveals details of her relationship with a husband nearly 16 years her junior, Cate Blanchett says she doesn’t get why women date younger men and that she could never do it:

Cate Blanchett says she doesn’t understand why a woman would date a younger man. In “Notes On a Scandal,” the 37-year-old plays a teacher who has an affair with a 15-year-old student. “I blushed my way through the entire movie,” she told the Scottish Daily Record. “I just don’t understand women who go out with younger men. Even women who date men only five years younger than them, I can’t relate to it. . . .I would understand sleeping with a 60-year-old more,”

So she didn’t mention Moore specifically and is just talking about a role, but I couldn’t resist inventing a rivalry where there is none. In the original article she also says she “loves” Brad Pitt, but that “I don’t love him in the sense that I love my husband but I adore him.”

I wouldn’t be too quick to believe all this crap though, The Scottish Daily Record that had this supposed interview with Cate Blanchett recently apologized for making up fake quotes in which Nicole Kidman dissed Angelina Jolie.

Demi Moore, 44, told Vanity Fair that she definitely wants kids with her husband Ashton Kutcher, who will be 29 next month. She also says that her relationship with Kutcher caught them both off guard. Her candidness must have paid off as she’s on the cover of the magazine this month.

The latest issue of In Touch, not the most reliable source I know, claims that “The Honeymoon is Over” for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and that Cruise limits Katie’s time on the phone with friends and has tried to change her interests and hobbies. They say that Katie was chatting with Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom at their second wedding party/stateside Scientology recruiting blitz, and that Tom shut her down when she mentioned an interest in going to the exclusive nightclub Hyde. The article draws a lot of conclusions about Tom and Katie’s home life and implies that Katie is Tom’s shadow of her former self:

Tension was already in the air at Tom and Katie’s LA wedding reception on December 9, where a guest saw Katie talked to Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom about the Hollywood hotspot Hyde.

“Katie was asking what it’s like and saying she’d never been,” the onlooker shares. “Kirsten and Orlando were telling her that a lot of their friends go.” But when Tom walked up and joined the conversation, the tide turned. “Kirsten said they had invited Katie to Hyde, and Tom got a concerned look on his face. He said, ‘Oh, that’s no plance for you or me to go, Kate.’”

When Katie walked off with Tom, 44, “she looked really embarassed,” the witness says. “It was like she’d just gotten into trouble.”

[From In Touch print edition, January 8, 2007]

If this is indeed a true quote, I would guess that the “guest” that overheard it was one of the servers, but who knows if it’s accurate?

The article goes on to say that Tom forces Katie to keep her phone calls with girlfriends short, and has convinced her to give up her favorite hobbies like ceramics, painting and singing Karaoke. The only things that she seems able to do are Tom-approved activities like shopping, attending his children’s sports games with him, and taking up his hobby of learning to fly an airplane. He is also controlling her career and insists on having approval of any new projects she takes on.

They say that Katie seems to be comfort shopping as she routinely drops tens of thousands of dollars on clothing and shoes with no concern for the price.

If all this is true and is more than conjecture on In Touch’s part it wouldn’t be surprising. Cults retain power over new members by limiting their social contacts with outsiders and coercing them into adopting a new identity so they can’t escape back to their old one. It seems like Scientology’s most visiible spokesperson Tom is using those same tactics in his relationship with Katie. I for one am not fooled by their PR wedding and cute baby.

Here are pictures of Katie out shopping on 12/19.

This just seems like a recipe for disaster. Terri Irwin received the original copy of the video of her husband dying at the unlikely end of an aggresive stingray. All of copies of the graphic incident have been reportedly destroyed. Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin was filming a show called Ocean’s Deadliest when one of the ocean’s most gentle creatures got agitated and whipped it’s tail up into his chest.

Terri was said to be devastated by a cartoon parody of her deceased husband on South Park, so of course this graphic video of his death is going to be the hardest thing she’s ever watched. I personally could not stand to see the video of Saddam Hussein’s execution, and cannot imagine having to watch a video of a loved one’s death. The video seems like the type of thing that would haunt you if you had it in your possession. If you didn’t watch it, you would think about it all the time and wonder if you should take the leap to see it. If you did watch it the images would play over and over again in your mind. If someone gave me a video of my husband dying I don’t think I would watch it and would give it to a trusted friend or put it in a safe deposit box.

A colleague said of the video near the time of Irwin’s death that “I would never want that to get out. It should be destroyed … It’s awful. I saw it but I never want to see it again.”

For his part, Steve Irwin said that if he ever died while filming he would want the public to see the footage.

The rest of us may not be able to see the video of poor Steve Irwin’s death, but the other footage he filmed during his ill-fated ocean stint will be aired shortly. Ocean’s Deadliest premieres on Animal Planet on January 21st at 8:00 PM.

Donald Trump gave a nasty interview before the holidays about his feud with Rosie O’Donnell in which he personally attacked her for personally attacking him on The View over the Miss USA debacle. He said that she’s fat, that he’d send someone to steal her girlfriend, and that her popular 90s talkshow failed.

Commentors note that he likes his women submissive, and that he wouldn’t put down a male enemy by calling him fat like he did Rosie.

Now he gets pissy all of a sudden when Meredith Viera asks him about Rosie. He’s the one who decided to start a big fight with her, and now he’s all upset that someone asked him about it. What an asshole.

Trump also claimed that Barbara Walters doesn’t like Rosie and wants her off The View. Walters has denied that, and says that she doesn’t regret hiring her, but Trump gave yet another interview saying he’s right that they have a bad relationship, making his latest tirade that more ridiculous.

I don’t think those two are good friends though, because Walters’ body language seems to show that she’s annoyed with Rosie in some of the clips I’ve seen of them together on the show. In case you care, Walters has returned from vacation and is now back on the stupid talkshow, which I would never talk about if there wasn’t some controversy involved. It seems like they’ve got a good formula going to get publicity.

Thanks to TMZ for posting this.

Britney Spears manager says she’s going through a tough time that she calls her “rocky moment” and “knows what she needs to do” to retain her crown as a pop star. Whether she can actually do it is doubtful, and people are saying she’s jumped the shark.

Spears is staying at an exclusive Arizona spa after reportedly collapsing (or falling asleep, depending on which version you believe) during a New Year’s gig hosting a party. People are whispering that she’s one step away from rehab, but one article claims that Spears really did just get tired that night and that the press is spinning the story because we all hate her and expect outlandish behavior from the pantyless onetime friend of Paris.

I would guess that whatever PR team she has left, which seems to consist of her crappy manager, told her that she better step out of the spotlight fast considering that she’s incapable of making a decent impression lately. Jetting her off to a spa in Arizona may have temporarily done the trick.

Her manager says that he understands why we all think she’s over, but that really she’s not - just wait:

Rudolph says he knows many fans have been put off by Spears’s recent behavior. “From what they’ve been seeing and hearing, I understand the disappointment,” Rudolph says. “But Britney is increasingly motivated to get out there. She sees this as a challenge, that some fans may be questioning her. She is respectful. She sees this as her challenge to win them back.”

Britney got a lot of bad press after fansite World of Britney temporarily shut down last month with a message that the pop star was “done.” Rudolf then published a letter from the site owner, Ruben Garay, requesting an amazing $50k in supposed server fees to keep it open. In retaliation, Garay briefly put up a supposed IM chat with Britney’s manager Rudolf, in which he claims that Britney is the big ‘ol narcissist that we think she is, and said she doesn’t give a shit about her fans.

Ruben G: But like, lol…..how is that gonna be like ‘Hi, yeah, we’re the fans you gave the finger to last time we tried to meet you, anyway, nice to meet you !’
LRudolphXXXX: lol! dude…welcome to my nightmare…well my old nighmare anyway. thank god i’m free of that shit…used to deal with shit like that every day
Ruben G: well, what did she have to say when she was called on it?
LRudolphXXXX: oh, and dont quote me on any of this please
Ruben G: lol, come on, no worries
LRudolphXXXX: she’s say ‘I don’t give a shit’…in her country accent
Ruben G: no way
LRudolphXXXX: 4 real
Ruben G: no reason?
LRudolphXXXX: u dont need a reason when the world revolves around u
Ruben G: so, releasing an album to the world and going on tour infront of thousands is just a huge ego trip? treating fans as millions instead of individuals ?
LRudolphXXXX: its all about her dude…that sweet southern girl thing is total bullshit

If this is an actual cut and pasted IM chat, Britney’s manager just confirmed our suspicions about the crotch flasher without a high school education. She might still be able to sing and dance, but it seems like her misguided ego will always block our view.

People are saying NBA star Lebron James is a bad dad for bringing his kid to a party in which a hot surgically altered babe is walking around topless. On one hand, I don’t see the big deal. There’s a nice public pool next to our place in Switzerland (I’m still in NY now, hence the later lazy posting) and I’ve seen women change their tops right outside and think nothing of it. They’re not nude all the time but if they were and everyone else was I wouldn’t care. My husband and I go to the public saunas and there are plenty of people walking around naked. What’s the BFD with boobies?

On the other hand, I remember thinking a European woman at the gym was being an exhibitionist for not wearing a towel while she dried her hair in the locker room. Before I moved to Europe, I had a more conservative opinion about nudity, because for me at least it was culturally influenced.

As Socialite’s Life points out, this wasn’t a breastfeeding mother earth-type party, this was a hot chicks getting the action started-type party.

Was Lebron James off base for not shielding his kid from it? The thing is - there’s only one far away pic of his kid around the women and all of them are wearing bikini tops. We don’t know when it was taken and what he actually saw.

I don’t think it’s a big deal, but I can see how people would say he’s being a bad parent for letting his kid be around that atmosphere - if he saw something. I only see one woman with her top off in these pictures, not that she’s easy to miss.

Thanks to ONTD and Splash News for these pics.

Lndsay Lohan has been hospitalized yet again, but this time it’s not for an drug-induced accident or “exhaustion.” The young woman more famous for sleeping around and partying than acting and singing was sent to the hospital with an swollen appendix, which will be removed today. Maybe the faulty organ is to blame for all her troubles and by getting rid of it she’ll be off to a fresh start:

Lindsay Lohan has been hospitalized. I can exclusively report that the starlet is suffering from appendicitis and will undergo surgery today at an L.A.-area hospital.

“She was not feeling well and went to her doctor,” Lohan’s rep, Leslie Sloane-Zelnick, tells me. “She went to the hospital last night, and her appendix is being taken out today.”

“She’ll be recuperating for a few days,” Sloane-Zelnick says, “but then she will be totally fine.”

A burst appendix can result in death, so it’s a good thing that Lohan got treated quickly. Maybe she’ll rethink her lifestyle as she takes some much-needed down time instead of just giving up booze and keeping up the same exhaustive schedule. Best wishes for a quick and painless recovery to Lohan.
