Sarah Larson talks about her life with George Clooney


I can’t imagine what it would be like to date George Clooney, but his girlfriend Sarah Larson is helping fuel the fantasy with details of her life now that she’s semi-famous. For starters, she isn’t much of a paparazzi target.

“That only happens when I’m with George,” Sarah tells Extra. “If I’m by myself, I seem to get away so far.”
“I really like my privacy, so having it unearthed is a little different!”

Since she’s now in the spotlight, the 28-year-old must deal with the obligatory rumor mill as well. There’s been so much talk about her and George, from moving in together to getting married, that the former Fear Factor contestant says she’s “lost track” of some of the gossip.

“I just came to the realization that some people are just going to say stuff and you just have to brush it off I guess!” Sarah says. “I try not to pay attention to most of the gossipy rumors.”

OK! Magazine

It would be very strange to live in a world that you had only seen previously on television and in magazines, like moving to a foreign country.

When she and George split up - I say ‘when’ because he is one of the world’s most notorious bachelors - I wonder if she’ll return to her job as a cocktail waitress? Currently she is modeling in Ocean Drive magazine, and doesn’t waitress anymore following threats from an anonymous caller to George’s voicemail.

If she wants to keep perpetual bachelor George happy, his ex-girlfriend has some advice. Model Lisa Snowden, who dated George twice, says their relationship was caused by her lack of cooking skills. She jokes “I never made George a roast. It’s the way to a man’s heart, isn’t it?! Dammit! I knew I messed up somewhere!”

Note by Celebitchy: These two haven’t been seen out since the LA premiere of Leatherheads on 3/31, and I would bet they’ve already broken up, but we’ll have to see. George is probably hoping she’ll just fade off into the distance.

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long asked about a summer wedding


When Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, that guy from the AppleMac ads, were in Mexico for Drew’s birthday in February Drew reportedly asked about possible wedding locations.

The ‘50 First Dates’ actress reportedly looked at possible wedding venues while enjoying a recent holiday at Mexico’s Casa Magna hotel, on Tulum Beach.

Justin, 29, organised the romantic getaway as a 33rd birthday present for Drew, who reached the age on February 22.

A source is quoted on the Daily Mail website as saying: “Justin booked a cleanse package for her and they spent time having massages and doing yoga.

“The retreat hosts intimate weddings and Drew enquired how much it would cost for a private ceremony in the summer.”

The couple started dating after meeting on the set of ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’, and have been virtually inseparable ever since.

Monsters and Critics

This isn’t really a concrete prediction of marriage, since Drew could have been asking for a friend, and the summer wedding could be in any year, not necessarily 2008.

Drew has been married twice before. Her first marriage, with Welsh bartender Jeremy Thomas, lasted just 39 days. Her second marriage, to comedian Tom Green, lasted three months. Hopefully third time’s a charm for Drew, who has had a steady relationship history in recent years. Her last relationship with Fabrizio Moretti ended in early 2007 after almost five years together.

When Justin was asked during a gushing interview on Oprah about what attracts him to Drew, he replied “She smells great… (and) she’s the most compassionate person I’ve ever met.”

Note by Celebitchy: We reported on Monday that Justin was supposedly busted at a club making out with another woman, so it seemed like either these two have cooled it lately or that they’ve already broken up. Then Drew and Justin were spotted out over the weekend twice - hiking and going to the movies. They’re probably doing fine, and if that other story was true they’ve patched it up.

Since this story originated in The Daily Mail, it’s probably either not true or based on a simple question Drew asked while down in Mexico about the weddings held at their resort. She could be hasty a third time and jump into marriage, and she’s certainly thrown herself into this relationship, but hopefully they’ll take their time with making such a huge commitment.

Update: Hollywood.tv had this video of Drew and Justin kissing while out to eat, and says that the National Enquirer reports that they’re planning to marry in the Caribbean.

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are shown at the Raising Malawai event on 2/6/08, thanks to PRPhotos.

Rob Lowe and wife sued again by different nanny, also repped by Gloria Allred


Almost everyone sided with Rob Lowe when the news came out that a nanny would had spent 7 years with his family, returning twice on her own volition, suddenly decided to sue for sexual harassment. 24 year-old Jessica Gibson claimed that Lowe fondled her and made her watch him masturbating among other allegations, but at no point in 7 years did she ever go to the police, her family or her supervisor with these claims. Now she’s suing in a civil suit and is represented by vampire attorney Gloria Allred. Gibson appeared giddy and less than credible in her single public appearance on The Today Show, in which she grinned foolishly and referred most questions to Allred, who went on about how excited she was to get a chance to confront Lowe and his wife in court.

Now Gibson’s lawyer Gloria Allred has filed suit against the Lowes on behalf of another nanny, but all the charges are against Lowe’s wife, Sheryl, and involve inappropriate talk and behavior. She does not accuse her of touching her or making a move on her at all:

Laura Boyce is not accusing Rob of sexual misdeeds, but she’s throwing everything — including the kitchen sink — at his wife, Sheryl.

TMZ is privy to the complaint, which has been filed in L.A. County Superior Court, but not yet released. Among the allegations against Sheryl:

- Walking around naked, completely exposing herself to Boyce.

- Asking Boyce about the size of Boyce’s boyfriend’s penis.

- Asking questions about how she could have sex with Boyce’s boyfriend, given his 7′ height (he’s a former NBA player).

- Using her forearm to gesture the size of Boyce’s boyfriend’s penis.

- Once saying “laughingly that her husband’s (Rob) cockrings were broken,” allegedly showing them to Boyce.

- Telling Boyce about her sex life with Rob.

- Talking about the size of her children’s penises.

- After Boyce allegedly phoned to say she wasn’t coming to work because she was sick, Sheryl allegedly screamed Boyce “got strep throat from sucking ni***r d**k. I mean black d**k.”

There is no claim of unwanted touching or overture. There are also claims for wrongful termination, abuse of process, unpaid salary and labor code violations.

[From TMZ]

If that’s even partially true, it’s really trashy and inexcusable. It also makes for an uncomfortable work environment, and if she really did these things - again we have no way of knowing since these are still allegations by people seeking money who worked for their family for years - then the nanny should have spoken to her supervisor, filed a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing in California, and clearly told Sheryl Lowe that this was unacceptable. Did the second nanny do any of these things to report her employer? It’s doubtful. In fact the woman who managed Lowe’s staff personally vouched for his behavior, as did a lot of his other employees and coworkers.

Here’s more information about how you can deal with suspected sexual harassment at work and what constitutes harassment. This would probably fall under the category of a “hostile work environment,” but if this is even true the woman should have told Sheryl to back off and should have filed a complaint.

Lowe’s lawyer says this is just another tactic by Gloria Allred to add fuel to a pretty weak case that’s getting negative publicity and that the allegations are false.

What I want to know is if this Laura Boyce who’s filing the second complaint is the 1/2 sister of nanny Jessica Gibson, who also worked for the Lowes for seven years.

Rob Lowe and his wife Sheryl are shown at the White House Correspondents’ dinner on 4/26/08. It seems like everyone pretty much went. Thanks to WENN.

Angelina Jolie Drug Tape may be coming out


A tape taken of Angelina Jolie openly doing drugs sometime in the 1990s was viewed by a source quoted in the National Enquirer. It reportedly shows the then 20-something goth Angelina snorting coke and smoking heroin and saying “Wow, this is really good smack.” The owner of the tape is supposedly trying to sell it for $70k:

The Enquirer’s source claims the tape’s owner is seeking $70,000 for its sale - telling the tabloid, “It appears to be from the 1990s, right before Angelina - then in her 20s - was breaking out in films like Gia and Girl, Interrupted, which won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

“The key part of the tape is Angelina doing heroin. She says, ‘Wow, this is really good smack - not that cheap crap that’s been stepped on.’ Angelina is seen sniffing white lines from a plate, and then as the drug cooks on tinfoil, she deeply sucks in its smoke through a tube.”

[From Starpulse]

Angelina has been open about her past drug use, and is quoted as saying “I’ve done coke, heroin, ecstasy, LSD everything. I hate heroin because I’ve been fascinated with it. I’m not immune, but I won’t do it now, at all.”

We know she’s done it, but having a tape of it is another thing entirely and if it does come out it will be interesting to see the fallout. A lot of people like to vilify her for her past, but she’s certainly come clean about it and it doesn’t seem like she has much to hide given all her statements.

Angelina, Brad and their four children are currently staying on the French Riviera in an estate owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, as we reported yesterday. Angelina has two films opening at the Cannes Film Festival, which runs from the 14 to the 25 of May, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood, and the animated film Kung Fu Panda, with Jack Black.

Angelina is currently pregnant and is thought to be due sometime next month. She is rumored to be having twins.

John Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman now obsessed w/ Lindsay Lohan


Lindsay Lohan stars in the universally-panned Chapter 27 as a fictional girl next door character who inexplicably befriends John Lennon’s assassin, Mark David Chapman, in the days before the obsessed fan shot the beloved musician in 1980 outside his NY apartment. The real Chapman has been in Attica State Prison since 1981 and has become an evangelical Christian. He is serving 20 years to life and says if he ever gets out he wants to travel around and preach the word of God. He seems to have another obsession in jail, too, and is said to have photos of Lohan all over his cell. He’s also been asking for permission to write Lohan and to have her visit him:

The man who killed late BEATLE JOHN LENNON has reportedly become obsessed with actress LINDSAY LOHAN - turning his cell into a shrine to the star.

Mark David Chapman, who has already served 27 years in jail for assassinating Lennon in 1980, has allegedly begged the Mean Girls star to visit him at Attica State Prison, New York.

The murderer has pictures of the troubled star, who plays his girlfriend Jude in the movie Chapter 27, plastered all over his walls at the prison, according to Ireland’s Sunday World newspaper.

A source at the prison tells the publication, “He has been pleading with the authorities to let him write to her and visit him. “He’s been turned down flat, but he won’t give up.”

Chapman, 52, who was diagnosed as psychotic and denied parole four times, is still considered so dangerous and at risk from other inmates, he is confined to a special unit at Attica.

[WENN via Hollywood.TV]

That’s super creepy and at least the guy is in jail and can’t do her any harm. Chapman isn’t the only inmate to have a thing for 21 year-old addict Lindsay. While her father was serving time for multiple charges he was said to have asked his fellow criminals to take photos of his daughter down from their lockers because it offended him. You can see how Lindsay would appeal to prisoners, since she seems to have a lot in common with the type of women they normally date.

That header is the real mugshot of Mark David Chapman, thanks to Wikipedia. Jared Leto sure got his look down for the part in Chapter 27, but it couldn’t make up for his acting or the bad script.

Benji Madden calls Paris Hilton “wife material,” may have cheated on Sophie


Earlier this week Paris Hilton gushed that her boyfriend of not even three month, Benji Madden, had written a song for her called “Shine Your Light.” We had to take her word for it, though, because it’s not like Benji has said much about her despite the fact that he took her on tour with him and she’s been seen following him around like a puppy dog all over LA. Paris has talked about how much in love she is and how great Benji is, and now he’s finally revealed that it’s mutual.

In an interview on Yo on E! on Sirius Radio, Benji said that he always knew Paris was “wife material” before they hooked up. He also said that they “were in love before anyone even knew we were together,” which suggests he might have been cheating on his longterm girlfriend, model Sophie Monk, with Paris. Sophie and Benji officially announced their split in mid February, and Paris and Benji went public less than two weeks later. As for marrying fickle Paris, Benji says “nothing would make me happier”

“We were in love before anyone even knew we were together,” the Good Charlotte band member reveals to Yo on E! on Sirius Radio. “We have known each other for a long time, and I’ve always known the real Paris. I always knew that she was like…wife material or serious girlfriend material. You’re getting a lot of personal sh**t out of me, man!”

Benji continues, “You just want to get on top of a mountain and go, I’m in love! But your fans would probably make fun of you.”

So could there be wedding bells in the near future? “Nothing would make me happier,” Madden says. “Wow, alright. Ok. I’m not gonna bet against you on that. We’ll see. I’m very, very happy right now.”

[From OK! Magazine]

Let’s give Paris and Benji the benefit of the doubt and say that they were together for maybe two months before they decided to hit all the LA hotspots together, but it’s doubtful and if that’s the case Benji would have been cheating. Even if they’ve been dating for five months that’s not enough time to start talking marriage. Once the new relationship endorphin high goes down they’ll start bugging the shit out of each other and will split shortly afterwards. I guess if they’re happy that’s all that matters. If Benji is talking like this he’s probably going to propose soon. He also spoke at length in that interview about how he loves babysitting his niece Harlow, so maybe he’s looking to start a family like his twin brother. You have to think that he could have been a much better candidate than Paris.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are shown below outside the DCMA boutique on 4/29/08, thanks to WENN. Paris is shown in the header in her guest appearance on “My Name is Earl” in late March.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon really are engaged maybe


Access Hollywood is reporting that Mariah Carey and actor/rapper Nick Cannon are really engaged, according to a source. JayBird reported on Monday that Carey has been spotted out wearing a “gimme some attention” ring, because the diamond sparkler she’s flashing on her left hand doesn’t look like a typical engagement ring.

According to the NY Post, it’s an incredible $2.5 million rare pink and purple diamond 17 carat ring with a 10 carat center stone. Cannon is said to have bought it at Jacob & Co, and to have been spotted there several times.

Cannon, 27, skirted around the issue when asked if he and Mariah were engaged. He didn’t give a direct answer, saying “I can’t even know what to say. She’s probably the most festive, remarkable person I’ve ever met. Good friend… Rumors happen. They do.”

Now Access Hollywood claims that “a source close to Mariah” has confirmed the news that the self absorbed singer, 38, is engaged to the 11 years younger Cannon.

Cannon was engaged to Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Selita Ebanks last year, but called off their engagement. This will be his first marriage and Mariah’s second - if this news is true. They at least seem to be dating, and I bet Cannon is getting some benefits from all the high end lingerie Mariah keeps in a separate walk in closet.

You kind of assume Mariah’s too into herself to get married again, and she certainly doesn’t want children, but maybe she’s ready to settle down with someone who also enjoys outrageous extravagances.

Mariah Carey is shown oh-so-subtly smoothing back her hair to show off her enormous ring at the premiere of Tennessee on 4/26/08, thanks to PRPhotos. It’s hard to notice the ring though and I found myself staring at her cleavage.

Update: Perez Hilton reports that the ring Mariah Carey is wearing is the same one Cannon gave Selita Ebanks when they were engaged last year. Obviously he got it back. Guess The NY Post had the details wrong, or maybe one of Cannon’s camp leaked that story to make it seem like the ring was new.

Gwyneth Paltrow wears backless bell bottom vest suit to Ironman premiere


Gwyneth Paltrow wore a bizarre 70s purple vest suit with bell bottoms to the premiere of Ironman in LA. It looked like something Heather Mills would wear to divorce court. It’s the second time Paltrow has worn a low cut vest recently. She donned a similar vest for her appearance on The Late Show earlier this week. At least she’s not wearing another micro miniskirt, but the super wide bell bottoms leave something to be desired. It’s a one piece outfit and is cut almost to the top of her butt in back. Can’t she dress sexy without showing so much skin?

A lot of you called my post critiquing her her super short dress ageist because a younger woman might have been able to get away with it, but the issue was with her fashion not her age. She’s got a gorgeous body, but she doesn’t need to wear a skirt that barely covers her crotch to show off her legs.

As it is, she’s slowing growing on me. She gave a great interview to David Letterman earlier in the week and I found her both likable and surprisingly down to earth. I’m baffled by her outfit choices, but at least she cut her hair and is taking chances again. People are talking about her, and that’s undoubtedly what she’s going for with her wild shoes and outfits while promoting Ironman. It’s not like she’s done much recently and she may as well get as much publicity as possible.

Also shown at the premiere are Robert Downey, Jr., Vince Vaughn, Jeff Bridges and his family, Jon Favreau, Jack Black, Terrence Howard, Beau Bridges, Diddy, Pete Wentz surprisingly without Ashlee, and Jenna Dewan.

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer supposedly getting serious


Maybe I’ve been doing this too long- but I don’t believe for a millisecond that the so-called romance between singer/amateur douchebag John Mayer and actress/professional victim Jennifer Aniston is the real deal. Maybe it’s because it came completely out of nowhere, while both of them were linked to at least one other person, and the usually private Aniston is suddenly being photographed with Mayer all over the frickin’ place. It’s so completely out of character for a woman who doesn’t even walk to her car after leaving a restaurant with friends without her bag in front of her face to hide from the paps. Anyway, everyone is talking about this “relationship,” so, mission accomplished, guys.

Although they’ve kept their relationship quiet, In Touch has learned that John Mayer is crazy about Jennifer Aniston. He flew to Miami on April 23 and checked into the Four Seasons hotel, but insiders say that he spent virtually no time there during his visit — opting instead to hang out in the $3,000-a-night presidential suite at the Mandarin Oriental, where Jen has been staying while shooting the movie Marley & Me. And the two were inseparable over the long weekend. When asked how he was doing, after spending four days with his new love, John smiled. “My weekend was good,” he told In Touch exclusively.

[From In Touch]

After a long weekend of lounging and laughing in Miami, Jennifer Aniston stayed behind to film her movie while John Mayer returned to New York.

“They already miss each other,” says a source close to Mayer.

Adds another source, also close to the singer: “It’s very real. They’ve been seeing each other for a few weeks now.”

Aniston, 39, and Mayer, 30, were first seen together publicly last Friday when they had an intimate lunch at Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in the Miami Design District. Later in the day, the two were seen at Casa Tua on South Beach.

Aniston remained in Florida to shoot Marley & Me with Owen Wilson, hanging around a hotel with her gal pals. Mayer went home to New York, hitting the club Butter with buddy Josh Groban on Monday, then joining a friend for a meal at Il Mulina on Tuesday.

[From People]

Ooh - he told In Touch exclusively that his weekend was good — it MUST be love! Whatever. Sorry, People; not buying it. John has a proven history of putting his skeezy moves on young, ditzy starlets- what could he possibly have to offer a strong, smart, more famous woman like Aniston? Even in those supposedly hot photos of them on the beach, she looks incredibly bored. I see zero chemistry. Here’s my theory: Jen and John (ugh, that sounds way too cute) are working on a project together - maybe his next crappy music video or something. I think the “sources” in the article were actually referring to Mayer and Josh Groban missing each other. Because that makes more sense to me. Also, Josh Groban’s music sucks even more than John Mayer’s.

Jessica Simpson overshares about Tony Romo


This girl never learns. First, the entire world sees what a crappy life partner she is on the ill-fated reality show “Newlyweds,” chronicling the first year of her marriage to Nick Lachey. Now, Jessica is telling all the cringeworthy details of her relationship with football player Tony Romo in a magazine interview with Glamour, including how they met (it involves her creepy Papa, surprise!), how she almost threw up on their first date, and how she calls him her “Future husband.” Now I feel like throwing up.

Us Weekly reports in its latest issue (on newsstands now) that Jessica Simpson is calling Tony Romo her “future husband.”

Now, she tells the June issue of Glamour, that she is “in love” with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, whom she says helped her gain more confidence.

She says she even wrote him a song, “Back in My Old Boots.”

“He reintroduced me to myself,” Simpson says. “I thought that I had to be deeper, more profound and more artsy. You change with the guys you date.

“Tony taught me that because he loves me [as me]. He made me feel comfortable [being myself] again,” she adds.
…She says Romo first caught her eye while she was going through her divorce with Nick Lachey.

“My family and I were watching a Cowboys game … and — Tony would die if I told you this — but [on TV there was a story] about him,” she says. “They said his celebrity dream crush was Jessica Simpson.

“My family was like, ‘Did you just hear that?’” she goes on. “His picture came up, and I’m like, ‘He’s really cute.’ Then I heard [that I was his crush], and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh!’”

They met a year-and-a-half later after a pal introduced Tony to her dad, Joe Simpson.

After Tony spotted Jessica and Joe at the Country Music Awards last November, “Tony e-mailed my dad, ‘Cute date,’” Simpson reveals.

“My dad was like, ‘Look what Tony said,’ Simpson says. “I said, ‘Give him my e-mail address. We’ll see if he’s good with words.’ Then he e-mailed me, and we flirted over e-mail and on the phone.”

She says they got to know each other “by talking, which I think is the best way.”
On their first date, Simpson admits, “I had butterflies that you would not imagine. I wanted to puke in the cup holder … It took me forever to put together an outfit!”

He tried to kiss her on their first date. “I was taken aback….

“The fact that this guy, on our first date, in the first 10 minutes of dinner, wanted to lean over the table and say, ‘This is my girl, and I want to kiss her’ — our first kiss in front of everybody — was awesome,” she says.


[From Us Weekly]

I think I just lost two I.Q. points reading that. Can’t you just hear the stupid in her voice? And what exactly did she learn from Tony- that it’s okay to be her stupid, shallow self? Wow, what a great couple. But, I guess since nobody asks Jessica questions about her career anymore, this crap is all she has left to talk about.
