Mary Kate Olsen, 21, is now single after ending a year long relationship with Max Snow last month. They were unable to make their long distance relationship work and were living on different coasts.

Now she’s said to be in a new romance with another actor who works with her on the acclaimed HBO Showtime series Weeds, 20 year-old Hunter Parris. They’ve been seen all over town together:

On screen, Mary-Kate’s character, Tara, shared some steamy scenes with Silas, played by 20-year-old Hunter. And off the set, the due has been seen out and about all over L.A., getting might cozy!

“They were at MK’s favorite hangout, Chateau Marmont, last week,” the source reports. “MK has a bungalow there, and they were sharing drinks and dinner.”

That was the second time the pair had a rondezvous at the famed… hotel. Just a few weeks ago, after the Weeds season premiere, they were there, “looking into each other’s eyes and having a great time…”

Even when hunky Hunter isn’t around, Mary-Kate can’t help cooing about him. “She was at artist Antony Micallef’s debut Los Angeles show… and I heard her saying Hunter is so cute and sexy - and a great kisser!” an eyewitness reveals. The young actor also seems to be good boyfriend material. Hunter even went shopping with Mary-Kate at Maxfield, one of her favorite L.A. stores!

I was going to say they might just be friends if they were only seen out a couple of times weeks apart, but if he went shopping with her that clinches it. Mary-Kate’s rep says they’re just friends, and Hunter has denied that they are anything but friends, saying “It’s not true. She’s a very good actress and fun to work with. I’m sure we’ll laugh about it this week.” It seems like there’s something going on there given all the times they’ve been spotted together.

Here’s a scene from weeds featuring Mary-Kate and Hunter.

I don’t really pay much attention to either of the Olsen Twins because I never understood their appeal. They usually dress like freaks of nature, with that weird messy hair, giant witchy shoes, and purses that seem to defy the laws of psychics by staying attached to their arms while they remain upright.

I can kind of tell them apart, because I think Mary-Kate is supposed to be the punkier one, but it was never really a priority for me. Now that I’ve seen a clip of Weeds, though, (I live in Europe and it’s not here yet) I have to say that Mary-Kate is a decent actress and if she is dating that Hunter guy, good for her. He’s quite the hottie. If only she could get a hairdresser BFF maybe she could clean up her look a little.

Update: US Weekly reports that Mary-Kate says that “it’s not true” that she’s dating Hunter.

Every few weeks some new detail comes out in the Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards divorce that seems to swing my opinion toward the other party. While I thought that Richards was cruel and heartless for trying to deny Sheen overnight visits with his daughters Sam, 2, and Lola, 3, the e-mails he sent her that she brought up in her custody battle make him seem a lot less innocent in the matter.

While even if all this is true he doesn’t seem to pose a threat to his daughters, he still comes off as a jerk with a short temper and a mean streak. That’s what Richards surely wanted to convey to the world when she made his nasty e-mails to her public.

Sheen is said to have called Richards a “jobless pig” and to have told her to “go cry to [her] bald mother.” Richard’s mother is undergoing treatment for cancer so that’s particularly cruel:

GO cry to your bald mom, you [bleeping] loser,” Charlie Sheen wrote to Denise Richards in an e-mail the actress included in documents filed last week in L.A. Superior Court in the couple’s custody battle.

“You are a pig. A sad, jobless pig who is sad and talentless and sad and jobless and evil and a bad mom, so go [bleep] yourself sad jobless pig,” reads another.

“You are an evil piece of [bleep]. I can’t wait to tell the world what a piece of [bleep] you are. You don’t get a [bleeping] dime till this is resolved,” says a third e-mail.

Richards says in her court filing that she was particularly hurt by the one about her mother, who is undergoing chemotherapy treatments for cancer.

Pictures of Sheen’s “erect penis” that Richards says he used for his profile on sex sites are also included, which Richards claims he e-mailed to “approximately 30 women.”

“I’d love to give it to you any time,” Sheen wrote to one woman under the screen name “mrjonze55.”

Richards says Sheen even visited gay pornography sites - “which I found even more disturbing because I felt that the boys looked underage,” the documents state.

Richards accuses Sheen of punching the headboard of their bed once in a rage, and telling her that by no longer breast-feeding, she was causing their daughter, Sam, to “become retarded.”

A lot of women bring up their husband’s interest in porn in divorce cases. Guys like porn, it’s just how they’re wired. As long as it doesn’t interfere with your relationship and they’re not spending an inordinate amount of time on it or letting the kids see it, I don’t see the harm.

Still, if Sheen was e-mailing pictures of his dick around unsolicited that’s another thing. I doubt all these women consented to receiving the pictures, but if he was already separated or divorced from Richards and asked the other parties if they were open to receiving the pictures, that’s his business. I never got the appeal of pictures of naked guys with erections, but as long as he’s not doing it around his daughters or forcing it on unsuspecting women, who are we to judge his kinks?

The NY Post reminds us that Sheen apologized before these e-mails were leaked, saying “I have been responsible for some of the worst dialogue [sic] and venom-spewing behavior in the past few weeks that I can possibly recall, ever.”

He still seems like someone who honestly wants to see his daughters and doesn’t pose a threat to them. Richards is saying he’s into underage-”looking” porn, but if you look up porn online it’s hard to avoid the younger-looking women. (Which just seems sad and borderline criminal even if they’re over 18.)

It’s hard to imagine people being this nasty to each other when there are children involved, and I hope they can keep their mouths shut and try to get along for the sake of their daughters. Although they may be young now, the stuff Richards is making public will be available for their kids to look up as soon as they can type.

An unnamed photo agency scored exclusive recent photos of Angelina Jolie in a tank top that showed her flat stomach, belying all the speculation over whether she’s pregnant with a second biological child. Instead of scrapping an upcoming cover story speculating on the state of Angelina’s tiny womb, In Touch purchased all the rights to the photos to make sure no one else got a hold of them to make their issue look obsolete before it got out.

What’s more is that they showed the pictures, but just cropped them over her chest to say that it looks like she’s got pregnancy boobs. That’s pretty inventive, you have to hand it to them:

WHEN Angelina Jolie stepped out in a midriff-baring tank top, her emaciated stomach nearly ruined In Touch’s plans for this week’s cover: “Is Angelina Jolie pregnant?” To protect its story, the glossy bought exclusive rights to the shots of her taut torso “so no other weeklies could run them,” said an insider. In Touch claims Jolie gained 10 pounds in her chest, but conveniently cropped the photo above her flat stomach. “When Angelina showed up looking so skinny, they bought the photos,” our source said. The mag says, “The most striking area of Angelina’s weight gain is in her chest, which is why we focused on that area.”

[From Page Six]

I still think she’s looking pregnant and not simply healthier, but if she did have a perfectly flat stomach from different angles it’s probably true that she’s just gaining some much-needed weight. If that’s the case though she seems to be toying with everyone by wearing shawls and loose-fitting clothing. It also looks like whenever she’s out she’s holding Zahara or another one of her children so you can get a clear view of her stomach. So maybe she went out with that half top on to dispel all the speculation finally. We’re reading too much into this, though, maybe she doesn’t plan it out like that.

Meanwhile there’s a story in the NY Daily News that makes Angelina and Brad out to be rich snobs. They were seen reading a Best Western sign and “laughing hysterically.” An observer is quoted as saying “They thought it was funny that it said ‘hospitality lodging.’ I guess it’s a little different than the Waldorf.”

It’s possible they found the term antiquated and were joking about that, and weren’t laughing about how the average people have to stay in dingy rooms when they’re on vacation. They wouldn’t make fun of refugees living in tents, why would they rip on the middle class?

I get kind of annoyed with celebrities chiming in with obvious statements like “Britney needs help with her addiction” “Lindsay needs help with her addiction” “Paris needs help with her drinking…” wait, am I starting to see a pattern here? Are a lot of starlets struggling with addiction? Huh. Anyway it’s really annoying when they think they’re making these profound statements that are really helpful, but Tatum O’Neal is a big exception, because she’s been in Britney’s shoes – in fact their case are eerily similar. O’Neal lost her kids to husband John McEnroe - a guy who was generally considered a douche bag (major temper, etc) – after she became addicted to heroin.

“Tatum O’Neal, who’s led her own troubled path on the road of motherhood, says that Britney Spears must get treatment and shield her children from media attention. She ‘needs to be in recovery and get her disease of addiction together,’ said O’Neal, 43, who can empathize with the 25-year-old pop star. ‘I relate to her and feel really sad for her,’ O’Neal told Entertainment Tonight in a interview to air Thursday.

“‘I did everything that she doesn’t want to do,’ said the Oscar-winning actress (for 1973’s Paper Moon, which costarred her father, Ryan O’Neal). ‘I did the drug testing … It was very humbling, but I wanted those kids back.’ In 1986, O’Neal wed tennis superstar John McEnroe, and the couple had three children: Kevin, Sean, and Emily. The couple divorced in 1992 and remain openly hostile toward one another. When O’Neal became a heroin addict in 1995, McEnroe took custody of their kids, something he has retained ever since. ‘Not being able to see my kids is like part of me is missing,’ a recovering O’Neal told PEOPLE in 2002. ‘Part of my soul is missing. Hopefully she will figure [it] out,’ O’Neal told ET. ‘But it’s going to be hard and she will do it publicly and that sucks.’”

[From People]

I will point out that Britney is pretty strongly courting the publicity (I mean she actually handed her kids over to Kevin Federline in a convertible, so the paparazzi could get lot of super-clear photos.) But I think O’Neal’s advice is really clear, and spot-on: Britney is going to have to humble herself. She’s going to have to do what the judge says. It seems like she’s locked in a parent/child power struggle, except Brit is the kid and the judge is her parent. Whatever he tells her to do, she does the opposite just to show him that she doesn’t have to listen. And while that’s never a good idea in a court of law, when your kids are at stake it really says something about you. I keep wondering what it’ll take Britney to realize she needs to let her ego go, but I’m still not sure what that’ll be.

Nick Cannon (of “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” and “Drumline” fame) has broken up with his abso-freaking-lutely beautiful Victoria’s Secret model fiancé, Selita Ebanks. She’s one of those models that is gorgeous but not in a slutty way. Such a shame. Maybe is she looked more like a skank, he would have stayed with her (you’ll have to forgive me; I’m having bitter man issues today).

“Nick Cannon and Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks have called off their engagement and split up, Ebanks’s rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively. ‘Selita and Nick are taking a break to focus on their careers but still very much love each other and remain the best of friends,’ says her rep, Melissa Raubvogel. Cannon’s rep declined to comment.

“The breakup comes just five months after the Drumline actor made a proposal that lit up New York’s Times Square – literally – as he asked Ebanks to marry him with the help of a jumbotron. By August, Cannon, 26, was more measured when it came to nailing down wedding details, telling PEOPLE, ‘We haven’t really talked about a lot of that stuff. You’ve got to take it slow.’

“As for Ebanks, 24, she said earlier in the summer that the pair had some fundamental differences between their ideal ceremony. ‘He’s all about the bling and having a big wedding. Me? I’m all about the courthouse.’”

[From People]

Okay first off, the jumbotron? You’re a semi-famous C-list type star, you’ve at least got a couple million to your name, and you propose on the jumbotron in Times Square? I can think of few places as unromantic as Times Square, and few visuals as unappealing as jumbotron. That must have been so romantic, as she’s stepping out of the cab, horns blaring, into a pool of gum and vomit. Cannon takes her hand, and a bum starts screaming at them. Then she arcs her head upward to look at the jumbotron, and he drops to one knee, realizes his pant leg is now soaked in urine, and then asks Selita to marry him. Sounds like it got off to a great start.

I’m not sure that I buy the notion that he wanted a big, blinging wedding while she wanted the courthouse. That sounds like something someone would say so that she could have the big, tacky wedding and not be labeled Bridezilla. But like I said, I’m having a bitter man day, so don’t listen to me. Listen to the girl who got proposed to with vomit on her shoe. I assume.

In today’s obvious statements… Mark Wahlberg says he doesn’t want to work forever. Really, because most of us hope to die at 98 having put in approximately 75 years of getting up at six in the morning, sitting on our asses looking at TPS reports, then coming home to a Lean Cuisine before we fall back in bed and start it all over again. Wait, I don’t do any of those things… and neither do you Mark Wahlberg, so stop bitching! Okay he’s not bitching, my unethical self is just spinning it that way. He actually just wants to spend more time with his girlfriend and kids. Awwww! Marky Mark, you so sweet!

“Mark Wahlberg’s priorities are changing. The actor has had so much fun and success in Hollywood, they made a hit TV show about him, but the father of two, has decided to take it down a notch. ‘I’ve been really focused on me for quite sometime now,’ admitted Wahlberg, 36, who said girlfriend Rhea Durham, daughter Ella, 4, and son, Michael, 18 months, ‘are definitely the priority’ now.

“‘I figure I got a few more years to work really hard and then, you know, if I can make a movie every year and a half or something then that would be nice,’ he told reporters at the press day for his latest film, We Own the Night. ‘I don’t want to work forever.’ The realization came to Wahlberg – whose life HBO’s ‘Entourage’ is based on and which he also executive produces – on the heels of the highly successful movie ‘The Departed,’ which brought the actor his first Oscar nomination. ‘It was at a really tough time,’ Wahlberg said of starting work on We Own the Night. ‘I was about to have my second child. I had left shortly after my first child was born to work and that was a very difficult experience.’”

[From People]

Aw, that’s so sweet, why can’t all guys be like that? To consider having to spend time away from your girlfriend and new kids traumatic is indicative of really good character, in my opinion. Marky Mark (I’m always going to have to call him that) seems like a good guy, who’s made a lot of his life. Plus he’s managed to have a legitimate acting career, despite all those years he spent dropping his trousers for Calvin Klein. Not that I’m opposed to that, mind you. I think it’s funny when celebrities talk about how hard they work and how they need to take a break. I’m not saying their work isn’t challenging – I’ve never done it so I’m in no position to cast judgments. But I don’t think it’s equivalent to being a fisherman in the Bering Sea.

I’m pretty sure that the creators of “Family Guy” spend a good three quarters of their time being sued. I think they have a whole passel of lawyers on retainer. Some people just don’t have a sense of humor… and I guess some want to keep their intellectual property rights, which I guess I can understand. Apparently the writers of “When You Wish Upon a Star” think that the “Family Guy’s” “I Need a Jew” song is a pretty close imitation of their melody. I can vaguely hear it, but I think they’re just two really simple melodies that most any kid could plink out on a piano. But I’ll tack it on to the end of the article and you all can decide for yourselves.

“ Bourne Co., which owns the rights to the Oscar-winning Pinocchio song ‘When You Wish Upon a Star,’ has filed a copyright breach lawsuit against Fox and the Family Guy creator and producers, claiming they illegally lifted the tune and damaged the company by repurposing the song with ‘anti-Semitic lyrics.’ The Family Guy’s version, ‘I Need a Jew,’ appeared in an episode of the animated series titled ‘When You Wish Upon a Weinstein’ and was sung by patriarch Peter Griffin upon realizing he needed to get his finances in order.

“Bourne, which filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Manhattan’s U.S. District Court, claimed the song was ‘a thinly veiled copy’ of the original and damaged the tune’s standing as a ‘cultural treasure epitomizing the wonders of childhood. With its theme of wholesome hopefulness, the song has gained worldwide status as a classic,’ the lawsuit read. ‘By associating Bourne’s song with such offensive lyrics and other content in the episode, defendants are harming the value of the song.’”

[From E! News]

Yeah and making it a hell of a lot funnier. Let’s be honest, no one ever grabbed their side laughing at “When you Wish Upon a Star.” Yeah maybe a solitary tear ran down your cheek, but what’s funny about that? Now blasting off from a giant dreidel, like in the “Family Guy” song, is funny. Sliding on a giant menorah in the sky? Looks like a good time. Please don’t be offended Jewish people, I adore you all. Challah bread is my homie. But most of the Jewish people I’ve checked with (and by that, I mean the guy at the Kosher deli down the block… and no I didn’t actually check with him, but he likes me so let’s pretend I did) say they thought it was funny, because it played on an old stereotype that everyone knows is bullshit. The joke is on the character singing the song for not knowing it’s bullshit. Of course the Kosher deli guy didn’t say bullshit. But he did wink at me, so I think that’s essentially the same thing. Watch the clip and enjoy – the song is about 30 seconds in. Then vote “yea” or “nea” for the lawsuit.

I’m a big Own Wilson champion in terms of his road to recovery. In his case, he doesn’t just need to recover from addiction, but from depression as well. He’ll also have to deal with lingering feelings about his suicide attempt, which will include both his own issues and the way it impacted those in his life. It’s a painful process, but it seems like the guy is essentially a good person with a good family, and that means everything in a situation like his. There are all sorts of roads to recovery, and when someone has as many issues as Owen, it gets a little more complicated. But I think that - although is treatment plan is certainly unorthodox – he’s trying to figure out something that’ll work for him, and it’s not really possible for the rest of us outsiders to know whether he’s got the right idea.

Owen Wilson, to the shock of his friends and family, is opting for a “sober trip” instead of rehab, says an insider. “Owen believes a spiritual journey, which includes holistic practices, is what can bring him back to total mental and physical health,” says the insider. He also wants to get out of L.A. because “he feels it’s full of negative, harmful energy,” adds the insider.

Owen will first stop in Sedona, Arizona, where he will use a Native American sweat box to get rid of toxins. Also on his itinerary: Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, group drug-addiction meetings at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, hypnosis and rebaptism in a river or lake! The Darjeeling Limited star will be accompanied by a “sober companion” on his trip.

[From Star Magazine, print edition, October 8, 2007]

I’m a big proponent of both traditional and alternative medicine and healing. I think that a lot of practices beyond the scope of the doctor’s office have merit. Owen is lucky to be in a financial situation where he can avail himself of so many facilities. The guy definitely has some serious issues to deal with, and it sounds like more than anything else, he just wants to be happy. And that is a great thing. As long as we can deal with our sadness a little bit and then move on, there’s hope. I really hope Owen gives himself the time and the space to really get better and feel whole again.

Vanessa Minnillo is hardcore. She’s got a reputation as being a bit of a diva – supposedly that’s why she was axed by MTV and “Entertainment Tonight” – and apparently she’s bringing that same diva mentality to her relationship with Nick Lachey. She’s told him that he’s got to marry her by next year or she’s out the door. I think Vanessa Minnillo has an inflated sense of self. When she worked for “Entertainment Tonight” she was supposedly a total bitch when she had to actually work, and thought she’d become enough of a celebrity that she shouldn’t have to interview people… which was her job. Ahh, to be paid to stand there and look pretty. Pretty much what I do here at Celebitchy.

“Vanessa Minnillo has hit Nick Lachey with a wedding ultimatum - marry me by next year without a prenup or I’m gone! ‘Vanessa loves Nick, but she’s prepared to walk if he’s not willing to marry her,’ an insider told The ENQUIRER. ‘And she’s not going to get involved in a prenuptial agreement. She feels marriage is forever, and she doesn’t want to begin a lifelong commitment by signing an agreement that’s just an out for a divorce.’ Ex-boy band member Nick, 33, and the 26-year-old beauty are spending time between homes in Los Angeles and New York - and are nearly ready to seal the deal, say sources.

“As the Enquirer recently revealed, Vanessa has picked out an engagement ring - a platinum band with a large emerald-cut diamond in the center and two smaller emerald-cut stone on each side. She first spotted the sparkler at the Kentucky Derby in May. ‘But all bets are off in Nick forces a prenup on her,’ said the insider.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, October 8, 2007]

My favorite part is just how worried Nick is about his money. Supposedly the “Enquirer’s” source said, “‘Nick wants the prenup, mostly because he saw what happened with his first marriage to Jessica.” Um, isn’t that exactly how he got all his money that he’s worried about? When he was with Jessica, their net worth was around $50, but he was only responsible for $5 million – so 10%. Yet he ended up with about half of their net worth, which means he gained about $20 million just for being married to Simpson. I’m not arguing whether he did or didn’t deserve it, but I just think it’s really ironic that he’s so worried about losing it in the exact same way he won it.
