In the world of weak rhymes that is his kingdom … let the word go forth: Duff Paddy is the world’s worst Daddy

Bossip has the pics and the acidic commentary — but how much cutting commentary do you need to add to pictures of P Diddled’s twelve year old getting a lap dance? The acid level is already at a Timothy Leary House Party level.

12 year old Justin Combs is making Diddy real proud. He was spotted at some club receiving a lap dance like a pro. I wonder if they make Valtrex and other STD meds in the form of colorful children’s chewable tablets?

I think the thousand words those pictures are worth are located in the policy brief of the Department of Youth and Family Services. What is a twelve year old doing in a club anyway? … maybe those thousand words are in the Liquor Control Board Handbook. Well larger social questions aside … clearly somebody is not driving that parental car with both hands on the wheel. Whether its Sean Puffy P. Diddy Combs or his ex- Misa Hylton-Brim they have enough names between the two of them to sell off a few and go buy some common sense and a copy of Dr. Spock.

Maybe I’m just behind the times … I suppose Twister was a fairly sinister party activity as well … just with less adult badonkadonk. Perhaps thats the litmus test for afterschool activities … minimal adult Puffed badonkadiddy

Katie Holmes recently told People magazine that she is “so honored” to be the mother of Tom Cruise’s baby, but she also can’t wait to get away from the Scientologists back to work.

Beginning next month, Katie is going to start work on a new film called Mad Money, where she’ll be playing one of three bank robbers alongside Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton. The film is being billed as a cruel joke comedy.

In a related note, TMZ.com managed to capture live video of the actress outside the Giorgio Armani fashion show Saturday night, and created this clever pop-up video of Katie speaking about her new film, her wonderful life, and the Oscars.

Update: Along with the pictures in this post, accessible from the thumbnails below, we also have Lots more high res Antonella Barba half nude pics from a private photo collection.

The many photos of 20 year-old Idol contestant Antonella Barba in slutty poses in various stages of undress and drunkenness just prove why that douche Joe Francis is a multi-millionaire: there are always hot vain girls willing to take off their tops, grope their friends and pose for pictures for little or no encouragement.

I pretty much ignored this Antonella Barba sex pictures scandal until it reached a fever pitch and I saw it on Yahoo! this morning. Since I’m not in the states and am deprived of seeing Simon’s many styles of black t-shirts, Paula’s slurry enthusiasm, and Randy’s vascillation this season, Antonella Barba just doesn’t register for me. This seemed like something on the level of all the slutty beauty contestant photos that came out. Interesting, but not Britney vag caliber material.

When the blowjob pictures came out everyone was like “This chick is done for on Idol.” Idol contestants have certainly been booted for less this season, one for a misdemeanor pot bust and another for an arrest stemming from pouring sugar in an ex-boyfriend’s gas tank. That was in the first round, though, and Idol producers seem to indicate in recent statements that they’re standing by Barba, who must be getting a lot of votes after this scandal hit the net. She is now in the top 24, and Vote for the Worst, a site urging people to vote for the crappiest singers on Idol, is gunning for her.

She doesn’t seem like a great singer to me in the one video I watched on youtube. She can sing, but she’s doing a lot of “runs” or whatever you call them and the judges all call her “pitchy.” She’s not on the level of past contestants and I would expect her to get voted off soon if it wasn’t for all those pictures. It doesn’t seem like she would have been able to get this far on Idol if she wasn’t so hot.

Now her best friend, Amanda Coluccio, who was with her on Idol (link leads to YouTube video) but got voted off after they were in the Hollywood initial round together, says she’s certain the BJ pictures are fake, but that all the other pictures were like, only meant for one person despite the sheer volume and number of different poses she’s seen in.

Speculation was that maybe-bitter Amanda was behind the release of the photos after an idol producer said on Friday that “It’s sad, isn’t it, that your best friends are the ones that come forward with information that will go to Smoking Gun or put your photographs on the Web?”

Amanda denies leaking the photos and says that Antonella’s position on Idol is not in jeopardy and that producers are now, uh, reviewing the latest material. She says Antonella is “horrified” and has been crying a lot over the scandal.

At first I was thought the pictures were kind of innocent because she’s seen topless on a beach with her friends posing and stuff. The party pictures are a little more racy, but most of them are not that damning to me and just seem like regular college stuff that you can see on myspace. (Pseudo-lesbian poses just do not register as scandalous to me anymore, but I look at this shit all day.) She’s also pictured on the toilet, which is dumb to let someone take a picture of, but not such a big deal. The pictures she’s probably most ashamed of are a lot of slutty ones of her in various naughty outfits, including one of her as a sexy schoolteacher and another of her frolicking in a fountain in a wet see-through top and panties. If an ex leaked them she should sue the hell out of him. She’s seen in two different slutty lacy lingerie outfits at what looks like a party. As these pictures only show her or her and one other person, it’s unclear if she’s just with her boyfriend and drinking a champagne while wearing a New Year’s hat or if she’s really wearing lingerie and an incredibly slutty Halloween outfit at two different parties.

Barba was an architecture major at a Washington, DC Catholic University before she went on Idol. She is from Point Pleasant, New Jersey, where residents have put up signs to support her in this trying time.

Thanks to I Don’t Like You in That Way, The Bastardly, and AntonellaBarbaPix.com for all these pics of Barba, and the IDLYITW e-mail sleuths for figuring out the BJ pictures are of another woman.

Parties are making nice in the Anna Nicole paternity suit, and this annoying story is surely on its way out of the news cycle. While Birkhead is Anna’s mother’s ally in terms of the custody of Dannielynn, he seems to have agreed with Howard that she should be put to rest in the Bahams according to her supposed wishes. Birkhead and Stern, long feuding over paternity of Anna’s baby and their respective relationships with her, made a surprisingly subdued announcement together that she would be buried in the Bahamas next to her son.

A styrofoam cup that probable Dannielynn-daddy Larry Birkhead drank from at a paternity trial went suspiciously missing, with people assuming that wannabe-daddy Howard K Stern lifted it for some DNA testing of his own.

A day after the cup was lifted, they were said to be negotiating a settlement for custody of the child. If Howard can keep his grubby paws on Anna’s fortune by retaining his rights as executor of her will, he’s supposedly willing to give up the child that he loves and thinks of as his own. It might not be that clear-cut, though, as Howard wants to be named Dannielynn’s trustee if he hands over custody to Birkhead.

Now Birkhead is said to have visited Dannielynn this weekend at Howard and Anna’s squatter mansion in the Bahamas, which is currently for sale. While the owner can’t send Stern packing due to some legal complications, he has rights to sell the place in order to eject the freeloading lawyer. One-time boyfriend of Anna G. Ben Thompson paid $950,000 for the estate last October, which Stern claims is now worth a cool $10 million. The price has undoubtedly gone up due to Anna leaving her tabloid mark on it before her probably drug-induced death.

TMZ had a pretty gross story yesterday with all the gory details of how bodies decompose. They suggest it applies to Anna’s corpse, but at the end they admit that embalmed bodies can last for a year. Her body was said to be deteriorating rapidly before it was finally preserved 10 days after death. Commentor Lulu wrote:

This just in, Anna Nicole Smith is still dead, more to come at 11:00

Update: there’s are also going to be closed hearings in the Bahamas between Howard K Stern and Anna’s mother, Virgie Arthur, over custody of Dannielynn, and now Anna’s body is stuck in legal limbo yet again. There’s a new ruling that she can’t be shipped from Florida to the Bahamas until a challenge is heard from Anna’s mom. Weeping Judge Siedlin rejected Arthur’s request for an appeal to his ruling that the body’s burial place be determined by Dannielynn’s guardian, who then said she will go to the Bahamas. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has said that Arthur must be heard out, though, and that Anna’s body has to stay put for the time being.

Maybe this complicated story isn’t fading as fast as I hoped.

Brad and Angelina may not be adopting another child from Vietnam, as was rumored recently. They did visit a Vietnamese orphanage back in November, but have not filed the paperwork to adopt another child from that specific orphange, a spokesperson says:

Contrary to other, recent reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were planning on adopting a Vietnamese child from the Tam Binh orphanage in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, a spokesman for the orphanage tells Star, “Brad and Angelina have not been back to our orphanage since their visit in November. I’d only wish that they were adopting from us! There are many orphanages in Vietnam that they could adopt from, but it certainly is not us.”

If that’s the case then it’s probably just another fake adoption rumor. It could be true that they’re looking into an adoption with another orphanage in Vietnam, but I doubt it.

It looks like they have their hands full with the three they have. Maddox seems to be in Kindergarten during the day as he just turned five last August, and Brad and Angelina have been spotted out several times in the past few days with their two little ones, Shiloh, 9 months, and Zahara, almost 26 months.

This latest pictures of Brad, Angelina and the babies is quite cute and I love how Brad has Shiloh in the front carrier. Brad and Angelina seem to be getting out a lot in their new hometown of New Orleans. Angelina and Brad have been photographed enjoying the atmosphere of the French quarter from their porch. There is some concern for their safety as a neighbor was murdered earlier this year in a robbery, but they probably to have plenty of security.

Angelina is currently near Dafur on a UN peacekeeping mission, which is said to have kept her away from The Oscars.

Thanks to SimplyBrad, Celebrity Baby Blog and Oh No They Didn’t for these images. Isn’t that picture of Shiloh checking out Zahara’s cracker adorable? These two were said to be out with their grandmother, Brad’s mom, that day.

The stars were out in force at the Vanity Fair Oscar party Sunday night. Here are pictures of the stars on the red carpet outside. PopSugar has all the pictures from inside the bash.

Natalie Portman. She is always cute, but I don’t like her odd little bow dress or that bleeding blue eyeshadow.

Sad, unshaven Ryan Philippe:

Madonna is keeping her body and marriage in tip top shape by sheer force of will:

Liv Tyler recently said she fit into a size four, and she certainly looks great:

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. People reports that they didn’t leave each other’s side at the party all night. Gwen looks a little fussy to me in that outfit, but it’s still pretty and is a big improvement over most of the crap she usually wears.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. There’s that Stepford wife speculation again since she refused to pose for pictures alone and seemed to hang behind him, but it looks to me like she knows exactly what she’s doing. I think both of them look great.

Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborah Furness. They met in 1995 on the Australian TV series Correlli, and suffered two miscarriages before adopting son Oscar, who will be 7 in May, and daughter Ava, 19 months. Hugh has denied persistent gay rumors, which are sure to continue given the latest news that he’s going to play Rhett Butler in a Broadway version of Gone with The Wind.

John Waters thinks marriage is murder literally — ain’t that just like a Confirmed Bachelor –from Baltimore no less. Now he and his most excellently sleazy pencil moustache are on a mission. They will snarkily undermine marriage and ruin the nation in their sarcastic wake.

Not content to push his radical anti-segregation and pro-fat-girls-dancing agenda (with the 400th version of Hairspray presently in production) he is literally killing the last institution that stands between us and the gay terrorists. Popbytes covers the horror:

’til death do us part is a kooky anthology series (think ‘twilight zone’ & ‘night gallery’) about wedded bliss couples who end up knocking off one of their spouses! the best part about all of this though is the host…john waters who introduces the murderous tale at hand & then wraps up all the good times at the end! i’m a huge fan of mr. waters and all his movies…i’m thrilled they got him to appear as the groom reaper

Check out the accompanying comic book. A comic book is the go to accessory for a new series … I think it started with Heroes or Firefly

The Groom Reaper character seems the perfect combination of Crypt Keeper and Rod Serling for Waters - with that extra soupcon of lounge lizard that he brings to any project. The heaps of Main Street USA, mainstream success that have been snowballing for Waters ever since Hairspray was adapted for Broadway should have taken the creepy edge of his groovy persona. But it hasnt …

Unable to bend the time space contiunuum and feed actual Christians to actual Lions in a well lit, live broadcast coliseum MTV has decided to go for the next best thing in reality programming. Female First has the skinny:

Supermodel Naomi Campbell is to star in an MTV reality show which shows her searching for a new PA.
The supermodel is determined to rid of herself of her temperamental persona with personal assistants.
She doesn’t care how many die in the process. You cant make a Campbell omelette without cracking some eggs …and this omelette wants to work out her anger issues
A source said: “Naomi is famous for her spats with staff, so the idea is to try to have some fun and capitalise on the situation. Plus, it’s TV work, which Naomi hopes will lead to acting jobs.”
Naomi’s last six assistants have quit because of her violent temper.

Well she wants to work out her anger issues while gathering material for her reel.
I think acting is too modest an ambition … has she never considered the WWF. She has a proven ability to wear a leotard and kick ass.

Lets Hand it to Naomi if you give that girl a bushel of lemons she will beat a PA with each and every ounce of their soury, citrus goodness till they are lying in a bloody pool of their own lemonade.

The catwalk beauty has been accused of assault by two previous assistants - and physical and emotional attacks by another.
Naomi, 37 - who has been forced to attend anger management classes - even reportedly threatened to throw one in front of a moving car.

Imagine the energy required to throw an entire anger management class in front of a car. What with working your way around the circle of trust and hauling each angry little non-model out of their plastic seat and hurling them into traffic. Landing them in front of the car. Going back for the next hapless victim. The don’t call her the hardest working woman in the Business for nothing … in fact it’s hard to call her on those jewel-encrusted cellphones of hers - buried as they are in the cranium of terrified assistants.

Potential candidates for the challenging post need to be able to deal with Naomi’s tantrums.
The source said: “Naomi is extremely demanding and is suspicious of new people before she trusts them.”
On the plus side, the chosen PA will travel the world and enjoy a glamorous lifestyle.

No matter how short that well-travelled glamorous little PA life may be. Live Fast, die young, let Naomi Conceal your pretty corpse from the authorities.

There have been rumors of a Victoria and David Beckham reality show or some time, and it looks like it’s finally going to happen. Victoria Beckham has signed a $19.6 million deal with NBC for a reality series. It will chronicle her move from Britain to LA and will have her as the focal point. David is said to be involved, but Posh will dominate the show. Her three children will not feature prominently as she wants them out of the spotlight.

Former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller - who also brokered David Beckham’s $250 million (£127 million) move to LA Galaxy - was in charge of sealing the NBC deal for Posh.

He told Daily Mail sister paper London Lite: “The Americans were falling over themselves to sign Victoria up for a TV show but we had to choose the right deal for her. NBC won out in the end as they have really taken a shine to Vic’s hilarious sense of humour and they want to capitalise on this.

“She is a funny lady and this new series will show this to the world.”

Vic, 32, has signed up for one series of the fly-on-the-wall show, which will follow her move to America. Producers want to see how popular it is before agreeing to recommission it. Hubby David, 31, will feature in the show, but we’re told he doesn’t want a very hands-on role… it’s all about Posh.

And she doesn’t want her three sons Brooklyn, seven, Romeo, four and two-year-old Cruz, involved as she’s always claimed she wants them to lead as normal a life as possible.

Her main priority is finding them a good school in LA, not to make them TV stars before they’re even 10 years old.

I’m sure she thinks it will let people know the “real” her. When I’ve seen her in interviews I’ve been impressed with how normal and personable she is compared to prim skinny orange image she projects. There’s always the danger though that the series will get out of hand and show aspects of her life she wants to keep private or twist events in an unflattering way. Maybe she thinks she’s in control of the angle it will take, and it sounds like they’re gunning to make her likeable and funny.

It’s good money and all but she doesn’t need it. It seems she wants people to know who she is and strives to be as famous in the states as she is in the UK. She’s already mobbed by photographers. It just seems like it’s going to backfire to me.

There’s a story in this week’s National Enquirer [print edition, March 5, 2007] that she’s made some outrageous demands at the private schools she’s reviewing for her boys. She told one that the athletic field needed to be cleared of all children twice a day so that her boys could practice soccer undisturbed. At another she pissed off faculty and ritsy parents when she brought a camera crew with her on campus. And there was said to be an incident with a pet potbellied pig at one of the science classrooms that chased her around the room. She was screaming and running in her tottering heels. Now that would have made for decent television.

Here she is at Elton John’s Oscar party AIDS Foundation benefit on 2/25. Pictures from Gossip Rocks.
