Beyonce, 24, is reportedly planning to marry her boyfriend, Def Jam president Jay-Z, 36, in a lavish ceremony on the Island of Anguilla this November. Star reports that the reception has a $3 million price tag and that it will include $300,000 worth of caviar alone. There won't be any Cristal at this bash:
The former Destiny’s Child member is planning a late November wedding on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, reports the tab. Guests at the bash will dine on $300,000 worth of Beluga caviar as well as lobster and Italian truffles and will wash it down with $200 bottles of Dom Perignon. Knowles’ wedding dress will be modeled after Princess Diana’s, reports the Star, and among the guests invited are Oprah Winfrey and U.N. head Kofi Annan.
An impediment to the marriage had been Beyoncé’s manager father, Matthew Knowles, and his misgivings about the 36-year-old Jay Z’s relationship with his 24-year-old daughter, but Matthew Knowles has apparently come around and given the romance his blessing.
“Beyoncé’s telling friends it will be ‘the wedding to end all weddings,’” according to the source. “Beyoncé feels like she’s living a fairy tale so why shouldn’t her wedding be equally magical?”
That's nice that Beyonce's father has given his blessing as she was said to have some trouble getting out from under his thumb and running her own career and life.
This isn't the first time that we've heard rumors that these two were getting married. Back in early June Jay-Z lost weight on a high-protein diet sponsored by Beyonce. People speculated that his weight loss was a sign that he was preparing to marry the pop singer.
In late June it was rumored that Beyonce and Jay-Z were spending too much time apart and that they were breaking up, but that was only reported by a single source and the couple has been spotted out and about many times since. They even performed together at Radio City Music Hall.
Beyonce recently revealed that she has a sexy dress she puts on whenever she needs to seduce her man. She even wrote a song about it called "Freakum Dress" that will be on her new album.

Tom Cruise has been relieved of his contract with Paramount Studios. At first the word was that he'd have to take a paycut of more than 75%, but now the studio is dropping him entirely. Instead of releasing a carefully worded statement that they're cutting costs and have enjoyed working with Cruise, which is undoubtedly forthcoming, the head of Viacom, Paramount's parent company, told the Wall Street Journal that Tom's behavior was unacceptable!
"Whatever remarks Mr. Redstone would make about Tom Cruise personally or as an actor have no bearing on what this business issue is," she told Reuters. "There must be another agenda that the studio has in mind to take one of their greatest assets and malign him this way."
Five films starring Cruise and co-produced by his company, including the "Mission: Impossible" series, have generated theatrical revenues totaling over $2 billion worldwide during the past decade. And Wagner said his films accounted for about 15 percent of the studio's overall box office gross over that period.
Moreover, Wagner insisted that she and Cruise chose to leave the Paramount lot and establish a new venture financed through a private, revolving equity fund of $100 million.
"We in fact made a decision not to continue our relationship with Paramount Pictures," she said.
Tom has got to be pissed. He travelled around the world in a crazed frenzy to promote MI3, all while supposedly having a non-existent newborn at home. That's not enough for Paramount, because they want a star with average ambition and a verifiably normal home life.
Tom will continue to be richer than sin even if he's no longer working. We'll probably see his face on screen again soon, though. If he's "establishing a new venture" as his business partner insists that must mean that they're going to start their own production company. Tom should stick to acting and not try to direct though. "Battlefield: Earth II" probably won't do that well at the box office.
Here are Tom and Katie outside Maestro's steakhouse in Beverly Hills on August 19th. [via]
Bigwigs in the hip-hop community have dismissed Kevin Federline's piss poor attempt to break into the rap industry by getting his former pop star wife to bolster his lack of talent. Magazine editors say he's not really notable, and if he is, it's only for a brief laugh:
“I just think we ignore him,” Wilson told The Associated Press on Monday. “He’s a joke, basically. ... I just don’t think he gets it. He doesn’t get that he’s Britney’s man and it’s hard to take him seriously.”
Jermaine Hall, executive editor of King magazine, echoes that sentiment.
“The thing that really hurts him is the fact that he’s perceived as Britney’s husband,” Hall, who had yet to see the performance, told the AP. “You know, kinda like Britney’s second — I don’t even want to say second in command, but — he’s like the Britney Boy. He’s like Mrs. Spears, and it’s kinda hard to get over that perception.”
That last guy was pretty generous in his quotes. If K-Fed had any talent it wouldn't really matter that he's Britney's husband. I would like to see him get his ass handed to him in a freestyle rap competition with any halfway decent street rapper. Did you see "8 Mile?" K-Fed writes his rhymes ahead of time and they're awful. There's no way he has enough skill or brains to diss someone on the fly - he would get laughed off the stage.
Here is K-Fed in mercifully few shots of his god-awful performance at the Teen Choice Awards, along with some of Britney. Thanks to BreatheHeavy.com for the pics.
Lindsay Lohan should either keep her mouth shut or try to make sure that people stop making up fake quotes and attributing them to her, because she supposedly slammed Ashlee Simpson for getting plastic surgery. She said that the tabloids didn't pay enough attention to Ashlee's new nose, but that's bullshit because it was all over the place and Ashlee was even forced to admit that she had rhinoplasty.
Lohan, 20, has long been the subject of rumors she has undergone breast enhancement surgery, while Simpson's rhinoplasty operation in April made an obvious difference to her nose and was confirmed by her publicist.
The Mean Girls star believes Simpson's nose job was virtually ignored compared to the amount of media attention her breasts attracted, which Lohan has always insisted are completely natural.
Lohan says, ""It's like when they said I got my chest done and it wasn't true.
""(The tabloids) kind of blew off the fact that Ashlee Simpson got a nose job. I've never done anything.""
Lohan also repeated that lie that her boobs are real, saying she's never done anything. Yeah, she didn't do it, a plastic surgeon did. She's pretty good at arguing the finer points of the truth. Maybe she should go to law school. Oh wait - she'd have to go to college first. (Yeah, I'm blasting the celebrities for lack of education today. It kind of amazes me how popular Lohan and Paris are when they didn't even try to go to college.)
Here are both Ashlee and Lohan outside of club Hyde in Hollywood. They missed each other by a couple of nights and several fistfulls of martinis. Lohan was there on August 17th and Ashlee was there on August 20th. If you saw these pictures of Lohan last week I'm sorry, but I just couldn't resist her drunken mug.

Us Weeky has the highlights from Paris Hilton's new interview in Blender magazine, and they're hilarious. She "f'in hates" when fans touch her, cries when listening to her own album, and reveals that her baby-doll act and insane ambition were inspired by her narcissistic grandmother.
The best part, though, is that her mom Kathy told her that acne scars were caused by giving oral sex. At age 19, Paris supposedly believed her:
Maybe Pink believes this too, and that's why she thinks blowjobs are gross.
Is it surprising that at the age of 19 Paris was as gullibe and uninformed about sex as the average grade school student? Maybe she wouldn't be as successful if she wasn't that stupid. It's a good thing for her that she never finished high school.
Here are some pictures of Paris at an in-store appearance at Best Buy on August 18th and in Blender Magazine.
Thanks to Gossipin for the tip, and to Hollywoods Best for these photos.
Charlize Theron sported darker hair and is still wearing that engagement ring we first spotted back in late April. A new interview from Scotland, where she has been attending the Edinburgh film festival, calls her boyfriend of four years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, her fiance. It's stated in a matter-of-fact manner despite the fact that this news hasn't been announced:
Theron's engagement has been under the radar in Hollywood, although she wore a ring on ther left ring finger to the opening of Club Social Hollywood in late June and may be waiting for the press to pick up on it.
She is producing and starring in a new film about Cuban music artists, her first in over two years. She quipped on stage at the Edinburgh film festival that she was moving to Scotland, as she was surprised that they gave her whisky to drink during a press conference.
Since wer're the first ones to spot this we're calling it a sort-of exclusive.
Here is Theron at the film festival on August 17, 18, and 19th. [via]
She must have just worked out her abs hard, because Nicole Kidman no longer has a hint of a bump in these pictures taken outside her Hollywood gym on August 5th. Either her stomach is sore or she's teasing the paps, because she really doesn't look pregnant. The 39 year-old actress is said to want a biological child with her new husband, country crooner Kieth Urban, 38.
Reader Millie points out that fertility treatment can make a woman bloated, and that could explain the baby bumps on otherwise skinny "older" actresses.
Kidman has lent her name to an ad declaring support for Isreal in the Middle East Crisis. She signed an ad in the LA Times along with Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, and Patricia Heaton, saying she was "pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas."
Now we know which side of the Hollywood fence she stands on. I'm not touching the subject this time people, discuss amongst yourselves.
The NY Daily News reports that Lindsay Lohan has been showing up to work on time and has cleaned up her act since receiving that scathing letter from the CEO of the production company running the film she's starring in, "Georgia Rule":
"She's heard everyone and is cleaning up her act," says a friend.
"Lindsay is really taking it easy these days. ... she is focused on work and [boyfriend] Harry [Morton]."
Lohan's love of the nightlife has kept her in the gossip pages. But she was stung by a recent letter from the producer of her new film, "Georgia Rule," slamming her hard partying and lax work practices.
"It was a turning point," says the friend. "She realized it was a matter of either stepping up or stepping down.
"Lindsay took this seriously; she takes her career seriously. She has been going home early every night and [arriving] at work on time since the letter."
Someone close to Lindsay called the Daily News and planted this story. She needs to do serious damage control after everyone saw firsthand how she lives in messy luxurious, drunken squalor and parties with her mom.
This could be true though. There seem to be less pictures of Lindsay out and about. She's staying in surrounded by thousands of dollars worth of scattered fashion and snorting coke with her mom at night.
Here is Lohan on a a photoshoot for In Style magazine in Hollywood. Found at France-vidcaps.org via JJB.
Everyone was saying that Halle Berry looked pregnant after those pictures came out of her in a loose dress with what looked like a baby bump. Just like Reese Witherspoon, she appears to be the victim of bloat, fashion and the wind, because these latest candids show her in a tight top and jeans with no bump whatsoever.
She made it clear in recent interviews that she wanted a kid before she was 40, and her 40th birthday was on Monday. She also said she is interested in adoption, and that “I will adopt if it doesn’t happen for me naturally.”
Here she is not looking pregnant at all while out shopping with her boyfriend, Versace model Gabriel Aubrey, 30. I like how he grabs her ass while she's walking up the stairs.
These are said to be from 8/16 and were found at Hollywood's Best.
Pamela Anderson has made it clear that she wants to have more kids. Now that she's married to Kid Rock, she's even dropped hints that they're either trying or that she's already pregnant. When asked after the wedding by Ryan Seacrest if she wanted kids, she said "You never know there might be one in there now."
It looks like there is one in there - check out how her stomach is poking out. She even forgot to wear shoes, which may be a secret signal to the paparrazi that she's barefoot and pregnant.
Pam has two children by her ex, rocker Tommy Lee, Dylan, 8 and Brandon, 10. Kid Rock has a son, Robert James Ritchie Jr., 13, with a Detroit auto worker.
Pam is seen outside a veterinarian's office, but where's her pet? Check out the LA chick in the background with the bemused look.
Pictures found at Hollywoods Best, and taken by X17, who pointed out the bump.
Jennifer Aniston swears up and down that she's not engaged to Vince Vaughn. Us Weekly stands by its story that she is engaged and cites a bunch of stories that celebrities denied but ended up being true. The first commentor notes that it's pretty convenient selective reasoning on their part. Of course there are hits and misses in the messy, often-fabricated world of celebrity gossip.
Perez Hilton claims to know from an insider that Aniston was actually engaged to Vaughn and that US was right, but now she's totally dumped while Vaughn is partying in Vegas and hitting on chicks. That sounds like a plausible explanation for Aniston's vehement denial:
In her new People interview, Jen never even acknowledges that she is still dating Vince.
"We're just being," she tells the mag of her and Vaughn.
According to our moles, Vaughn was in Vegas this past weekend, and Maniston was nowhere to be found! Trouble in Paradise? Hell to the fucking yeah!
Sources close to the situation tell us that that Jen - who has a history of lying to her fans - is also covering something up this time; specifically, that after their engagement on June 27th something has gone horribly wrong with Vaughniston!!
Tabloids have reported for the last two weeks that there is major trouble with Jen and Vince. Now her denial to People today (and what sources are telling PerezHilton.com) suggests there is truth to these reports that the engagement has been CALLED OFF...
According to several people close to the situation, Maniston is humiliated at another failed relationship and is doing damage control ASAP!
Sources also tell PerezHilton.com that no other than Stephen Huvane sat in on the phone call between Jen and People today, controlling what they could use and couldn't use.
Vaughn spent last weekend partying in Vegas at Mandalay Bay, getting drunk and flirting with girls...just like old times. And Jen stayed back ALONE in Malibu all weekend!
Maniston seems way too emotional and emphatic about denying that she is getting married, telling People, "I mean, it couldn't be more of a 'No.'"
Thou doth protest too much!!
There you go. It looks like everyone is right, Us and Aniston. Is it surprising that Vaughn and Aniston broke up? They didn't even want to be photographed together.
Here is Aniston running into Kate Hudson at the airport and giving her some bad divorce advice. [via]
Here's poor little rich whore Lindsay Lohan on sitting on a mattress at the Chateau Marmot surrounded by luxury goods while sipping on a bottle of Jack Daniels and wearing a fur coat. There's even a pile 'o coke and a little silver spoon visible in the background. Pictures are, obviously, from Perez Hilton.
At least Lindsay does her fur-wearing behind doors.
These aren't too scandalous, considering that Lindsay was photographed with a bong in the background in photos that came out a few months ago.
The Sun claims that Lindsay wasdenied VIP tickets to an upcoming Justin Timberlake concert because it's feared she'll get wasted and make a spectacle of herself. I would say I doubt that's true, but given these pictures I'm more apt to believe it.
Hey, does Christina Aguilera have a new album out? She seems to be everywhere lately. The NY Times says that "Back to Basics," Aguilera's new double album, is half-good half-bad. The lyrics reveal XTina's fight to stay at the top and are an attempt explain to the world why she looks like a blowup doll and is such a pain in the ass:
This demand is the main theme of “Back to Basics,” a double CD that contains a roughly even number of great songs and lousy ones. The first disc is full of rationales, ranging from the self-referential (“I’m going back to basics,” she sings, in the introduction) to the paradoxical (“I pay no mind/To the negative kind,” she claims). Perhaps this is the weird but (in hindsight) predictable result of our hyper-tabloid culture. In print, online, on television, celebrities are constantly being asked to explain themselves. So we shouldn’t be surprised when they comply.
The second disc, largely written with Linda Perry, ends with a couple of songs clearly meant as odes to Ms. Aguilera’s husband, Jordan Bratman. But even these literal-minded love songs seem like explanations: having told us how much she has changed, the singer now wants to tell us why. “Never felt like I needed any man,” she wails, in the beyond-bombastic finale, “The Right Man.” But she’s not really addressing her husband; she’s addressing listeners who are confused about all the mushy stuff. Even when she’s singing a love song, Ms. Aguilera sounds a bit defensive.
In this interview on Good Morning America yesterday, XTina tells the same old childhood abuse story as if she's practiced it for ages. She seems genuinely excited about her new album and how she craftily copped it off the jazz greats of the 30s and 40s, though. Somewhere underneath all that arrogance and makeup she really does love music.
She also reveals that she gave Britney a basket of gender neutral baby gifts when she heard she was pregnant, and that Britney sent her a crystal vase and a crystal drink bucket as a wedding present.
Thanks to ONTD for the video link. Also thanks to readers Karen and Jess for letting me know that I fell for Aguilera's sob story in an earlier article I posted about it.
Here is Aguilera leaving the Koko club on an unknown date in a see-through dress. I think I've seen these before, but maybe that was a different sheer black dress. Even totally wasted, Aguilera manages to keep her lipstick and makeup perfectly applied. Maybe one of her minions helps her with that. [via]
Courteney Cox says that Jennifer Aniston is a great friend that she can rely on in a crisis:
Cox recently revealed that she had some trouble in her marriage to funnyman David Arquette and that they wisely sought counseling to straighten it out.
She also adamantly denies that Aniston is engaged to Vaughn:
Asked at a charity event yesterday if Aniston was planning to become Mrs. Vaughn, Cox said, "No, she's not."
I bet Vaughn and Aniston are broken up already. Either that or they're fighting constantly. Neither of them look happy together in the rare paparrazi photos that come out.
Star reports that Aniston and Vaughn are having trouble because Aniston doesn't want kids, but that's probably just speculation.
Here's some pictures of sourpuss Aniston sunbathing on her deck. [via]
Britain's The Independent has a thoughtful article about Charlize Theron's career. They say that there will always be younger, prettier actresses in Hollywood and that Charlize really hasn't hit it big despite winning an Oscar and scoring more serious roles. She's stuck in between sweet young things like Scarlet Johansson and more seasoned actresses like Nicole Kidman:
She then did the awful Aeon Flux. She appeared on television as "Rita" in a few episodes of Arrested Development. And there's going to be a film called The Brazilian Job in which she plays the girl from The Italian Job. In other words, Theron has done nothing done since Monster to help her in mapping out a future. The world has not learned how to want Charlize Theron looking like hell. It likes her gorgeous, and yet it can see that Scarlett Johansson is younger (and always will be).
Somehow or other, Theron has to do something similar to Nicole Kidman's achievement after the latter's marriage to Tom Cruise ended. She has to seize parts that say, I chose these, I found them, I told them I could do it, and look, it works. What that means is that she has to go find the parts, know how to secure them and make her will felt strongly enough that they turn out unusual and good films. That so many actresses do ordinary work is testament to how tough that challenge is. Most of them do what they can get and spin it out until 40, if they're lucky.
The Independent is nitpicking Theron's career. She's achieved a level of success that everyone else only dreams about. She'll reach Kidman's status. In fact she's almost there now.
So let's move on to these recent pictures of Theron forgetting to wear a bra when she's out with her mom. [via] If The Independent is right and she hasn't yet found her niche, do you think she's trying to tell us something by going out like that? Also, isn't it curious that she holds her coat in her left hand, covering her ring finger, while holding her mom's hand with her right?
Lindsay Lohan claims that "Sex and the City" is the inspiration for her sluttiness, and that if 2 out of 4 fictional characters on a cable show can sleep around, she can too:
She says, "Sex And The City changed everything for me, because those girls would just sleep with so many people."
Did she really say this? That's fucking crazy. Those are women on a cable show, not real people. Granted this was probably taken out of context, but WTF?
Lohan admits to having a double standard with the men she dates, and said some crap about how she can sleep around but they can't.
The girl needs to wear a bra and stay in and watch some documentaries. No fiction films, because she'll use anything she sees on screen to justify her outrageous lifestyle.
Pictures found at Hollywood's Best and taken by X17. I know you've already seen them, but these versions are sort of high res.
Britain's Daily Star says that Victoria Beckham is pregnant with her fourth child. She has spoken opening about wanting a big family, and it was said that she was trying for a girl.
Her ultra-hot husband, Real Madrid soccer player David Beckham, was said to have put Posh on a carb-rich diet to encourage her to "fatten up" in preparation to become pregnant again. She doesn't look to have gained much weight, though.
Posh and Beck have three boys: Brooklyn, 6, Romeo, nearly 4, and Cruz, one and a half, all born by cesarean section. Victoria has said that if she has a girl she would like to name her "Luna." That's not so bad for a celebrity baby name.
Here are pictures of Victoria and David Beckham at Nice airport on 8/14. She's wearing a loose top, but she doesn't look like she has a bump yet. [via]
Brad Pitt is now back in LA filming Oceans 13, tentatively subtitled "any excuse to see Pitt, Damon and Clooney onscreen together, even if Ellen Barkin is in it," and he's been bringing Maddox and Zahara with him to work! Pitt is taking advantage of the on-set daycare.
That's cute! I wish they had daycare where my husband works.
Meanwhile these new pics on the Oceans set came out. There were just low-res versions before, but these huge pictures of the guys on set are making me swoon! There are plenty of pictures of Damon's cute butt too! Thanks to Simply Brad for the pics.
Jennifer Garner only fuels those persistent rumors that she's pregnant again when she wears tops like this. This suspicious outfit coupled with the news that she fainted recently on the set of her new movie make it seem like she's carrying little Violet's sibling. I'm probably wrong, though, and she's just shy about her stomach. She looks gorgeous as ever wearing a loose top in these pictures taken in LA at the W Hotel on July 16th. [via]
I take back what I said about Nicole Richie gaining a little bit a weight. She may have put on a few essential pounds a couple of weeks ago, but she looks like death warmed over again in these latest shots on the beach.
Keira Knightley is also taking the anorexic look a little too far. While she claims she's doesn't have the disorder, there's no way she's eating well if her chest looks like this.
Britain's Daily Mail reports that Nicole broke into tears and wailed "I have a disease" when a photographer told her to gain some weight. I really doubt that happened, but she is thinner than she was just a few weeks ago. The British rag sounds the alarm about the two young paparrazi-targets' weight:
With her ribcage protruding through her skin, the socialite and TV star had to hold up her American size 0 bikini which bagged around her wisp thin frame as she sunbathed on a beach in Malibu.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that a photographer called out telling her to "gain some weight." The ultra-skinny star replied: "I have a disease" before bursting into floods of tears...
And it seems Nicole is not the only celebrity with a worryingly thin frame at the moment.
Pirates of the Carribean star Keira Knightley, was spotted in central London on Friday exposing an emaciated ribcage.
Here are the pictures in question, found at Hollywood's Best. X17 took the ones of Nicole on the beach.
Madonna knows what she's good at, and now she plans to stick to it. The super-fit geriatric Jewish queen of pop can't act for shit and she's finally admitted it:
By saying it's already "dead in the water," she may have been making a sneaky reference to that terrible film that doomed her husband's career, "Swept Away." People say her films suck not because she's in them, but because they've actually seen them and she can't act. Her acting is wooden and forced, and that's smart of her to stick with what she knows - writhing around on stage and pissing off the Christians.
Here's Madonna in concert in Rome on August 6th. Looks like the pope missed a fabulous show. [via]
Natalie Portman is going to appear nude in the upcoming "Goya's Ghost," and she's auditioning to play a hooker in another movie so she probably doesn't care that you can see her nipples through this top she's wearing. She also shot some nude scenes for "Closer" in 2004 which were cut from the film.
Paris Hilton shows up for every event, has a sex video out and has had scores of nip and vag slips yet she refuses to appear nude on screen. Who do you think people have more respect for, Paris or Natalie?
Scarlet Johansson and Josh Hartnett are said to have bought a $6 million loft in New York City - and to have requested extra soundproofing around their bedroom:
The insider dishes to the weekly magazine that neighbors needn’t worry about the lovebirds being loud. The couple are requesting extra soundproofing - in their bedroom!
“They asked that we change the design to include extra insulation between the bedrooms of the penthouse and the unit next door,” says a realty insider.
Josh’s rep tells L&S that the couple are not moving in together.
But the chatty real estate insider says it was Scarlett, 21, who scouted the 2,648-square-foot condo in Tribeca - which boasts three bedrooms, 2½ baths and two balconies...
And – a few days later, her father and Josh, 28, were seen poring over floor plans in a nearby café. “She seemed very pleased,” says the realty insider.
Scarlet and Josh lived together in Josh's Tribeca apartment from about December of last year until late March, when Scarlet is said to have spent $2 million on her own Tribeca condo. They've tried to keep a low-profile relationship, and that's great news that they're moving in together and giving it another try.
It could be true that just Scarlet's buying the place, but if she's requesting a soundproof bedroom there's got to be a good reason.
Here is Scarlet playing a journalist in "Scoop" with Woody Allen and hot Hugh Jackman. [via]
Jennifer Garner was in Arizona filming in 110 degree heat when she collapsed and fainted. Husband Ben Affleck rushed to be by her side, and flew from Boston to be with her as soon as he heard the news:
The actress, 34, was taken to hospital while frantic aides tried to get in touch with her husband, who flew from Massachusetts to the desert as soon as he heard the news. Garner was released the next day and spent time relaxing with her concerned husband before returning to the film set.
That's terrible and I hope that Garner is ok. She's one of my favorite actresses.
This just gets me thinking, though, that she could be pregnant again. It was rumored that she was pregnant, but people say she's just having trouble losing that last little bit of baby weight, and Ben's cousin told Celebrity Baby Blog that she's definitely not pregnant. Still, Angelina fainted at the airport way back when and it turns out that she was in the early stages of her pregnancy. I'm just saying.
Here is Garner in an unknown photoshoot found at Jen-Fans.com.
Paris Hilton's monkey is tired of being an accessory to her bad style. He took a chunk out her arm, sending the ditzy heiress to the hospital to receive a tetanus shot.
The wound was superficial and Paris spent a few hours at the hospital and received a tetanus shot.
Paris called her publicist, Elliot Mintz, at about 3AM Tuesday morning after the incident occurred. Mintz tells TMZ he drove her to the emergency room where she was seen by a doctor, treated and released. The whole ordeal took just a few hours.
In an odd bit of foreshadowing, an MTV special focused on Paris -- that aired the same day of the incident -- actually featured Baby Luv in a segment, during which the animal tried to bite her.
TMZ has a video of Paris holding the agitated kinkajou, Baby Luv, while describing the incident where she had to take a limo with all her animals in the back because the airline refused to transport them.
Paris' publicist really earns his money if he's going over to her house in the middle of the night to take her to the hospital. Doesn't she have a friend or throwaway lover who could do that for her?
Maybe the monkey just wanted to do Paris a favor and keep her from going out in an outfit like this. She is seen in a satin top and pants like the kind you wear to bed while wearing a red belt across her ribs. At least her purse, belt, and shoes coordinate. WTF? Look at the people behind her - they're totally making fun of her.
Pictures taken on 8/9 by X17 and found at Hollywood's Best.
Nicole Richie has been seen out with toned legs, suggesting she's been eating a little bit and using the leg press at the gym. She's also been photographed with two different mystery guys, one semi-hot and one weird.
Now comes news that she got wasted at a party with an out of control Mary-Kate Olsen and proceeded to puke all over the floor. Nicole didn't miss a step, though, and continued right on as if nothing had happened.
And then it happened, under the copper ceiling, amidst the hanging candles. "Nicole puked right on the floor, like right in the middle of the club," said the source. "Everyone saw! But I guess she didn't care. She kept partying."
"She loves tequila," said the source, a friend of Ms. Richie's. "But you know, she's so small—and she probably didn't eat anything that day. So you know, she probably had a couple shots and it just happened. She was just having a good time."
At least have the decency to go into the bathroom to puke. The few times in college I drank to the point of no return I somehow managed to make it into the bathroom in time. Of course I had more body tissue to absorb all that booze. Nicole probably has the alcohol tolerance of a child. (I was going to say toddler, but thought that sounded sick.)
Here is lovely Ms. Skin 'n Bones filming a segment with Tyra Banks for her talkshow. Commenters on JJB note that her head looks huge and it seems to be "carrying all 80 pounds of her," that she's "gonna have so many health problems in a few years," and that "she's already bald." What with drinking so much and not eating, it's not much of a stretch to think she'll have health problems. At least she gained a smidgeon of weight.
Thanks to Hollywoods Best for these pictures.
So these far-away pictures of a supposed baby Suri where published on X17online, and I found myself reading all the comments on JustJared. I'm rather fascinated by the sordid baby Suri story, and personally believe that something incredibly fishy is going on. Like the pictures of the Loch Ness Monster (which some claim were just the trunks of submerged circus elephants bathing in the Loch) all is not what it seems. There's something ominous and creepy about these photographs and they look staged.
Here are my favorite comments, organized by category, from JustJared.
These pictures are really fucking creepy, and make it seem like Katie is trapped
Looks like a scene out of a horror movie. Woman gazes out of window of large country manor house as child of satsn lulls behind her in crib plottin end of the world. Whatever! So tired of Tom, Katie (Kate) and even the child that they could show up at my door and I wouldn't care. - HeyBabyHeyBabyHey
It's a scene from Amityville Horror meets Rosemary's Baby. - Niecy
The Baby is too big. It's older than they claim or it's a doll:
Uh, that looks like a 2 year old...and something is DEIFINTELY rotten in Denmark. I am so over Tom "Crazy Pants" Cruise. - redonkulous
this baby looks too big to be 4 months!! katie looks scarey looking out the window. i got chills, they're multiplying! - diane
My friend's baby is 10 months, 28" tall and 18 pounds. My baby is 3 months old, 23" tall and 15 pounds. Don't make me cry by saying Suri couldn't POSSIBLY be that big already- my guy's a Sumo! :) - UberGoober
These pictures are staged:
Fake...its a prop. Plus, why would you leave a baby just laying on a bed alone? Its staged and fake?!?! - Me
It's wrong to peep into the Cruise's mansion:
I can't stand Tom or Katie, but I think the paps are going too far. I'd be pissed if they were taking pictures of people in my damn house! Disgusting. What a culture we live in. - Erin
i think katie is trying to spot the helicopter. wellthe baby (actually the whole pic) looks way to grany to see anything, so vanity fair still got their scoop. however i think it's wrong to take these kind of pics, even though i can't bring myself to not look at them. still i feel kinda bad for them.- Bertz
The way these photos were taken is horrible indeed! Celebrities can't even stand at their fuckin' windows without being photographed! No miracle that Suri hasn't seen the day of light yet - when they even take pictures of her when she's IN the house! - Angelika
About the conspiracy:
Stop thinking about this shit that long! Just because there haven't been any photos around yet Katie wasn't even pregnant at all, Tom isn't the biological father or the kid is somehow ugly or what?? That's absolutely crazy, and I feel sorry for everyone like Aisling who invent crazy, weird stuff in their heads. That's complete bullshit, there haven't been any pictures of Tom's adopted kids at the beginning either, he just obviously didn't want it - look at all the Scientology rules, people aren't even allowed to do baby talk in Suri's presence, so why should the public be allowed to even SEE her? Just forget about this baby and live your own life! You'll see the pictures when they're released, end of story!! - Angelika
Whatever's going on, these creepy ass pictures don't clear it up!
Meanwhile the Beckhams have been invited to see the miracle changeling in person, but the list of rules are weird as hell. Maybe by inviting the Beckhams and telling them they can't touch, photograph or talk to the baby, Cruise's camp hopes to explain why the poor thing hasn't seen the light of day.
Britney Spears has shown the world how gullible she is by giving her husband an American Express Black card, also known as the Centurion. An invitation-only card with a hefty $2,500 annual fee, the Centurion gives holders automatic first class flight upgrades on all airlines and offers access to airport clubs and personal shoppers at luxury stores. It features a personal concierge and travel agent. If you can think it up, you can probably get it with an AmEx black card.
In the 1980s tales of the "Black" no-limit American Express card were just urban legends, but Amex responded to the black card lore and decided to offer it to high rollers. Now rappers name-drop it in songs, and uber-rich people have the opportunity to go deeper in debt than they ever dreamed possible.
By giving K-Fed access to her Amex Centurion, Britney is essentially letting him empty any bank account he wishes. He has the opportunity to spend lots of money in a very short time with a single phone call. Here's what people have done with the Centurion card:
Hey maybe AmEx can help K-Fed with his rapping career! He should call them up now that the black card is in his posession. They seem capable of hooking people up with just about anything.
Seriously, though, Britney is trusting her fortune to a guy who has a custom Ferrari worth more than a quarter of a million dollars, and a Maserati worth at least six figures. He also reportedly bought a $30,000 watch without asking Britney. Now is that the kind of person you would trust with your money?
Here's Britney dropping off a mini Escalade at her recording studios for Sean Preston to play with while she's there, and Kevin getting a haircut and pumping gas. Sean Preston, 11 months, took his first steps in Las Vegas last week. So now he must be old enough to drive a car, right?
I'm sorry for two Lindsay Lohan stories today, but I just couldn't resist this latest news. Page Six is reporting that Lindsay Lohan is just about to get kicked out of her digs at the Chateau Marmont hotel. Hotel staff are annoyed at her comings and goings at all hours of the night:
Lindsay shocked her accountants by running up a $1,000,000 bill at the Chateau Marmount last year. Why doesn't she just buy a house? There was another story that Lindsay spent another million on clothing alone when she easily could have been comped many of the luxury brands she wears.
There's also a report from a "Herbie: Fully Loaded" crew member that claims that Lindsay was as much of a lazy brat on that set as she's been publically chastized for on her latest film.
The way Lindsay is going she's going to spend all her cash on purses and hotel rooms and will have such a bad reputation in the industry that she won't be able to get another job. Maybe she gets her drugs for free though.
Here's Lindsay having a little upskirt accident and shopping. [via] and [via
Diddy seems to think that he owns the common adjective "sexy" and that he alone holds the rights. He said he is the true "King of Sexy" and that he let Justin Timberlake "borrow" the term for his latest CD:
Victoria's Secret must have called up Diddy before the launch of their Very Sexy bras to make sure he approved of their use of the word. Or maybe they're paying him royalties.
Oh wait - I dated a patent attorney a while ago, and I think the way it works is that you only have rights to a trademark within a certain industry. In that case Diddy is the sole "sexy" singer and Timberlake indeed needs to bow to him in order to call himself sexy. All other professions and industries can be sexy without Diddy's approval.

I'm not saying that Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey are anything more than hot, sweaty friends who like to do sports together and hang out shirtless on beaches in Miami. Let's just imagine that these two are actually lovers and make the bold move to come out, though. It would be difficult for them to admit, but they would be applauded for it, and "straight" men everywhere might see that it's not so bad to switch to the other side. Hell if top actors and athletes can do it, it must not be that taboo. At first it would be a big scandal, but then everyone would say how brave they are to admit it.
This will never happen because it would jeopardize McConaughey's career playing the hot sporty guy in every crappy romantic comedy. He's even signed on to do a new one with Kate Hudson. They're going to play a divorced couple looking for treasure in "Fool's Gold." Sounds fabulous:
In related news, Jake Gyllenhaal has been confirmed to play the role of Lance Armstrong in an upcoming biopic about the seven-time Tour de France winner's life. Matt Damon was originally slated for the role:
Gyllenhaal has taken over the role, and recent cycling training he has been doing with the sportsman is actually practice for the grueling role, according to Moviehole.net. The pair was recently spotted hanging out at the French event and have also been seen pedaling in the Hollywood hills with another fitness fanatic star, Matthew McConaughey.
Moviehole claims Damon pulled out of the film because of his busy schedule.
I wonder how Gyllenhaal landed that role.
Here are Lance and Matt on the beach. Thanks to DListed for these pictures.
First people said they saw her, and now there are supposed photographs that will be published in Vanity Fair this Fall. Come on, why the delay?
You know they say that the photographs were taken by Annie Liebovitz to add a smidgeon of legitimacy to the claims that Suri's been photographed. Why would they take pictures now ahead of time and then release them in the Fall? They have to know that the pictures will get out and no amount of legal threats will keep them off the blogs like little Shiloh's online debut. Unless there really are no fucking pictures at all and they're just trying to buy time until they can come up with a baby.
By saying the pictures were taken now in April they also get the added advantage of masking the baby's age. Babies age a lot in a few months. If they claim the pictures were taken now in April they have a few months to procure a newborn baby and get pictures taken just in time for publication.
This baby has never been photographed even far away and there's a huge bounty on its head. No baby accessories, strollers, or carseats have ever been seen near its parents or their vehicles. There are very peculair circumstances surrounding its birth, with a questionable birth certificate. Only a few "eyewitnesses" have come forth - with strange statements that sound coerced.
Yesterday Tom's rep said that pictures would be released "soon." All of sudden they're claiming that Annie Liebovitz has already photographed the baby. This is bullshit.
Update: Thanks to Angelika for pointing out that the baby was said to be photographed back in April, not now. That makes it even more suspect because they have until the Fall to get pictures of a newborn.

No wonder Angelina's in a tizzy, Brad Pitt is back to work and looks to have recovered more than just his masculinity. He's cool again!
Jessica Simpson gushed about Brad in her Ok! interview, saying his body in "Fight Club" is "the best male body" and that she still dreams about him.
Brad is shown in Vegas on the Oceans 13 set and at the Bellagio playing cards. Unlike Daniel Craig, he knows how to play poker. Pictures from SimplyBrad.com via JJB.
Update There's a story that Angelina Jolie is asking people to spy on Brad for her while he's away filming, and that she's needy and insecure and is calling him up to ten times a day. The source is some British magazine I've barely heard of, so I really doubt it's true.
Star Magazine reports this week that Matthew McConaughy called Jennifer Aniston in a not-so-subtle attempt to get her to go out with him.
A friend of Matt’s then tells Star Magazine, “He doesn't give up when he has his eye on someone. He’s figuring out his next move.”
Jennifer's rep denied that she received a call from McConaughy, but it could be true. If it really happened, it doesn't mean McConaughy was serious about it. He may have just wanted the publicity so that he can stem some of the rumors that he's enjoying Lance and Jake's company in every way possible. It was a pretty slick move on his part, considering he picked an actress who's technically unavailable, but hasn't gone public with her relationship.
Aniston seems to be having a hard time in her relationship with bloated paramour Vince Vaughn. While it was rumored last week that they broke up, that doesn't seem true since Vince was spotted out with Aniston and was seen leaving her house. Poor Aniston has bought a new dog to keep her company while she waits for a commitment from Vince that will never come. Maybe she should have gone out with McConaughy. At least it would have made Vince jealous.
Here is Aniston with her her new puppy [via] and Matthew McConaughey biking. [via]
Angelina supposedly got fed up with Brad's demands that she stay at home and take care of their kids and left their Malibu estate in a huff to stay at a hotel with the kids for a few days. Star Magazine is set to report that she checked into the Hotel Bel Air in Beverly Hills on July 29:
Jolie already has two projects lined up with 'Kung Fu Panda' and 'A Might Heart' so it might be tough to keep this lady at home...
Brad was reportedly “stunned” and “incredibly angry,” says the insider, while Angie and their brood settled calmly into the lap of luxury for a few days of what the mag calls "Father Doesn’t Know Best."
An employee of the hotel told Star, “We are taking extra good care of her.”
Don't worry Brangelina fans, they have kissed and made up according to the report.
Star reports that by Aug 3rd the couple had made amends - the couple met for a romantic dinner at the nearby Hotel Roosevelt’s Dakota restaurant, where they shared a cheeseburger, a quesadilla and a salad.
The pair then spent the night in a romantic $7,000 a night suite.
Here are the websites for the Hotel Bel Air and the Hotel Roosevelt so you can see where the famous hotties stayed. I only have one kid, not three, but I'd use any excuse to get away to a spa resort for a few days if I could. Who can blame Angelina?
She must be stressed out being a new mom and I bet she won't be adopting right away as she seemed to imply in recent interviews.
I was a bit curious about the timeline in this report because didn't she just step out with Brad and Maddox for lunch? It turns out that was on July 25th, making this timeline possible. Considering the demand for photos of the Jolie-Pitts, it's surprising that no one has any pictures of her stay at the resort, but that's probably why she picked the place - and part of the reason why she needed to get away.
There does seem to be a power struggle in Brad and Angelina's relationship. With Angelina having the upper hand for so long, she must be annoyed that Brad is working and striking out on his own. She's probably just overwhelmed with motherhood, though. People think this won't last, but I bet they'll weather more than a few storms together.
Here are some of the latest St. John ads featuring Angelina. [via]

Kate Moss and Pete Doherty are back together, at least for now. I haven't kept up with troubled Pete like I should, but he had a chemical implant put in his stomach to help him kick heroin and was said to have tried to go to rehab again for like the tenth time.
Whatever he's done, it worked well enough to help him get back together with the love of his life, waif supermodel Kate:
A source told the Daily Mirror: "They got out of the car and held hands as they walked to the VIP area - laughing and touching each other the whole time.
"They were acting like a couple of honeymooners.
"They were kissing passionately and didn't leave each other's side all night."
The pair apparently joined singer Jerry Lewis backstage afterwards.
Crack and heroin addict Pete has just come out of rehab and has had a new implant fitted.
He originally got together with Kate almost 18 months ago at her 31st birthday party but they split up late last year after Kate checked into rehab following cocaine allegations.
Kate has plenty of substance abuse problems on her own. While she may have kicked the hard stuff, she still knows how to drink like a fish. She royally pissed off her friend, Jade Jagger, by getting wasted and running up a nearly $10,000 hotel bill in Amsterdam. She stuck her surprised hosts, The Rolilng Stones, with the tab. She offered to pay after leaving the country, but the damage was already done.
Guess Kate and Pete kind of deserve each other.
Kate wasn't with Pete in these pictures taken at the wedding of Primal Scream star Bobbie Gillespie on 7/29. She seems to have brought a long-haired bearded guy as her date, or that might just be someone she's hanging out with at the party.
Update I just have to mention that this is the fourth time I've been able to use that "reunited" header picture! lol

Christina Aguilera told USA Weekend magazine that she suffered from her father's abuse while her family was stationed on a military base. She says that domestic abuse is common on military bases in her experience. Starpulse runs the quote from the article with commentary that she's "attacking" military bases, but she seems to be speaking about her childhood and doesn't overgeneralize:
Aguilera has never been one to shy away from the abuse she experienced as her mother and father fought and often writes about her memories in songs like "I'm OK" and new song "Oh Mother."
She adds, "It's therapeutic for me to talk about it. It gives me a reason to understand why I went through what I did."
That's too bad that Christina had to go through that as a child and it's good that she found a decent man like Jordan and didn't pick another creep like her dad. It's hard to take her seriously as a person, though, when it's rumored that she doesn't even look interviewers in the eye. Still, she should be commended for talking about her difficult childhood.
Here is Christina in a Robert Sebree Photoshoot (via Gossipin) and in Seventeen Magazine (from Hollywood's Best)
Sky.co.uk had these new pictures taken on the set of Oceans 13. They're rather small, but still drool-worthy. Just thinking about Brad, Matt, and George on-screen again - even in the most unwatchable film - gets me all woosy. Sky says there's this mystery new person in the latest Oceans installment. I don't know why they're getting all worked up about it, though. Everyone knows that the new actress in Oceans 13 is Ellen Barkin, who inexplicably gets an on-screen fling with Matt Damon. How did she get so lucky? Her billionaire husband cheated on her and dumped her. (Sorry I'm so bitter! You go Ellen.)
... And this time it's even bigger.
By one person.
But just who that extra person is remains a secret.
Could it be Catherine Zeta-Jones' character, Isabel, or Vincent Cassel's mastermind criminal, François Toulour, from the previous film?
We'd like to see Brad's squeeze, Angelina Jolie, join in...
But as the main Ocean boys are back out filming, it won't be long before they're joined by their new inductee.
Here are the pictures on set. The linked versions are low quality. As soon as higher resolution versions come out, I'll post them.
People reports that Mischa Barton was seen out holding hands with a new guy in London recently, which may signify the end of her stormy relationshiop with Whitestarr frontman and all-around suspicious character Cisco Adler.
Mischa has hooked up with Rugby star Mark Robinson, also known as "Sharky" of the Northampton Saints. Robinson is from New Zealand so he's got to have the sexiest accent:
The 20-year-old British-born actress had been dating rocker Cisco Adler but reportedly hooked up with the 30-year-old sportsman at a swanky bash in Windsor, England.
An onlooker at the party tells Britain's the News of the World, "Mark couldn't believe his luck. One minute they were standing there talking and the next they were all over each other in the corner of the tent. They were (kissing) and running their hands over each other's bodies. They didn't seem to care who saw."
A close friend of Robinson adds, "He's been smiling all week and has told pals but won't talk publicly."
As Mischa matures, so does her taste in men. Cisco seems like a decent guy, considering how he spoke candidly in her defense when Paris talked trash about her, but he doesn't seem like he's in Mischa's league.
There's also a report that Mischa snubbed British comic Russell Brand, who was briefly linked with Kate Moss. Brand tried to hit on Barton at a London club recently, but she wasn't having it.
Barton won't have much time to spend with her new sportsman this week. She flew into Australia on Sunday to help promote designer David Jones' summer collection.
Here is Mischa with Mark Robinson, and some photos of her at the airport in Sydney and at David Jones summer collection launch. The first two photos are small, and the rest are high resolution. [via]
Update: I'm not sure Mischa is shown with Mark Robinson, because the guy she's holding hands with doesn't look exactly like the pictures I've seen of the rugby player. She hooked up with Robinson according to sources, but whether that's the same guy in the photo with her is up to debate.
Update: The guy she's holding hands with is her gay hairdresser, but she did supposedly hook up with that
Kiwi rugby player. I work with the information I have at the time, people! It's like 6 hours later here, so I'm looking at the gossip at 2:00 AM EST. Sometimes it's fresh, most of the time it's green and not ripe enough to pick.
Poor Tori Spelling and her downtrodden husband, Dean McDermott. Whenever they go to events now they have to network hard so that they can get acting gigs on Lifetime. They look tired and miserable at this benefit for the Much Love animal rescue. Tori was honored for her work as "Much Love [Animal Resue's] most dedicated famous face." That joke just wrote itself!
She also adopted two "Much Love" rescue dogs. Aww. She doesn't look pregnant in this dress, as is the rumor now that she's registered for a bunch of posh baby stuff. Her stomach's showing and it's hardly puffing out.
Tori is so poor now that she can't afford to get her roots dyed.

Justin Timberlake might not get away from Cameron Diaz so easily. There's a report that Cameron and Justin have bought a $24 million Hawaiian estate together:
The couple were pictured frolicking in the sea while on holiday in Kailua last week and it seems the pair had such a good time they have decided to invest in a property.
Justin and Cameron, both who are avid surfers, spent the whopping sum on a beachfront estate.
Buyer's agent Joan Graham, of Coldwell Banker, is refusing to confirm if the couple bought the holiday home due to a strict confidentiality agreement, however local media have confirmed the sale.
The millions bought the couple 15,000 sq. feet feet of living space, tennis courts along with a sauna, tropical pool and staff quarters.
Justin is said to have wanted time off from his three-year relationship with Cameron, and it was rumored that they broke up in late June. He was even said to be dating 23 year-old Lauren Popeil.
Cameron and Justin were seen vacationing together in Hawaii at the end of July, with Cameron hanging all over him, and Justin looking like he would rather be anywhere else. We doubt this is going to last, even if Cameron can convince Justin that a really expensive house is just the thing they need.
Update: Reader Jean saw on E! News that this was a false rumor. Sorry for the misinformation!

Woody Allen's French nanny was summoned to Colin Farrell's hotel room for some awkward quickies before the London premiere of "Miami Vice." She says he's got a small dick and that he really sucks in bed. He made love to her three times in just an hour and a half. He invited her to the premiere and after party, but she left once she saw that he was getting cosy with Gong Li:
"Moments later he kissed me hard on the mouth, grabbed me and threw me on to the bed. He tore at my clothes and kept saying how beautiful I was. When I was naked, he ran his eyes up and down my body, gasping with pleasure." The couple made love on the bed, against the bathroom wall and in the shower.
Angelique said: "He was enthusiastic and athletic. He was so keen to have me, he didn't want to wear any protection. He just said, 'It'll be OK, it'll be OK'. But for all his ardour, it was like he was reading from a text book, lurching from one position to another. He loved it when I climbed on top. He was cooing, 'C'est bon, c'est bon'. It's clearly the only French he knows.
"We made love three times but the actual sex only lasted 10 minutes in total. At one point he lifted me up and carried me to one side of the bed so we were both looking in his full-ength mirror. He said, 'Look how beautiful you are'.
"To be fair, he did try and give me pleasure, kissing me all down my body - but his heart wasn't really in it. I kept having to fake orgasms - one, two, three - to keep him happy and let him keep his dignity. It seemed the polite thing to do."
Despite Colin's bad-boy reputation - the Dublin-born actor once told Playboy magazine: "I've always been a firm believer that casual sex is a good thing" - Angelique says he seemed nervous, clumsy and unsure.
"He must have told me I was beautiful eight times, or more. And he was always looking me in the eye. I found that rather off-putting, as if I were some kind of school project. It was too clinical. He didn't at all come across as a sex god who had slept with countless woman. If I didn't know better, I could almost have thought it was his first time...
"He kept saying 'C'est bon (it's good), you're beautiful, c'est bon'. He sounded like James Blunt.
"Once he'd got what he fancied - in about 10 seconds flat - he just wanted to go to sleep."
The best part is that she compared him to James Blunt. That's so nasty that Colin didn't wear protection!
I would like confirmation that he's poorly endowed, though. Has anyone seen Colin's sex video? He's all covered up in the screencaps. (NSFW)
It sounds like this woman is bitter than Colin didn't contact her again and hooked up with Gong Li instead. I believe her, though. Colin sounds like a teenager with no staying power. Maybe he'll be embarassed enough by this story to use a condom and some manners next time.
Here are some candids of Colin taken on 8/3. [via]
Britney cleaned up and wore flattering clothing when she was in Vegas last week to support K-Fed's supposed music career. This weekend she was spotted out shopping with her family while wearing a long printed dress that was somewhat classy-looking. She even had manny Perry in tow, suggesting he was the influence behind her cleaned-up image yet again.
That seems to have been short-lived, however, as Britney was seen out the next day wearing weird low-riding plaid shorts and a too-tight top that exposed her pregnant belly.
X17Online says that Britney was wearing a bathing suit underneath her top, which explains why her boobs look split down the middle. Regardless she's back to the same 'ol Britney, at least for a day.
I watched a show on the paparrazi on German TV this weekend. It focused on British paparrazi, and the lengths they go to get an exclusive shot. The pictures that really sell are of celebrities looking like shit with pimples, no makeup, and bad hair. They said that Victoria Beckham is never caught out without makeup on. Britney should take a lesson from Posh and try to be consistent with her cleaned-up look. Maybe that's why Britney is photographed so much, though. She does make people feel a lot better about themselves.
The thing is, Britney probably thinks this outfit looks good. I mean look at what she wore for her primetime TV interview.
Here are pictures of Britney out on August 4th and 5th. What a difference a day makes. [via]
Ludacris recently got rid of his trademark braids to prepare for the release of his new, more mature album. He says that people don't really know who he is as a person and that his music now reflects his more serious concerns:
Bridges says the album, “Release Therapy,” is a clear departure that tackles more serious issues like the government and its response to Hurricane Katrina, being a father to his daughter, Karma, and his relationship with God.
“It’s a lot of things that I’m speaking on that I’ve never talked about,” he says. “I felt like people knew who Ludacris was, but people never knew who Chris Bridges was.”
Ludacris has been known for his comedic style, and this is a departure for him. He is also making a name for himself as an actor with roles in "Crash" and "Hustle and Flow."
Now Ludacris is showing how mature and kind he really is. Hewent to the prom with a young fan who is wheelchair-bound:
These quotes make it seem like it's coming up, but prom season was a few months ago, so I did a little research and found out that this happened in 2004. The news must be resurfacing now because of a recent interview. Whatever the reason, that was quite kind of Ludacris and it doesn't seem like he did it for the recognition. It turns out Ludacris has a whole charitable foundation (site has automatic music) that's dedicated to helping young people achieve their dreams.
I have an auto-immune disorder like MS and have to use a wheelchair when I'm having a bad relapse. It's a very humbling experience and people do stare at you as if you don't exist and can't see them. Others look away right away as if it's too painful for them to have to think about a young person who's disabled. (The best way to deal with someone in a wheelchair is just to look if you're curious, but not stare. If you catch someone's eye, smile at them. Don't pity someone just because they have a disability.)
I'm really lucky because most of the time I can get around fine and even exercise, and I've only been sick for a few years. I would never suggest that needing a wheelchair for periods of time is the same as needing one permanently, but If I had this when I was in high school, I totally would have tried to get Matt Damon to take me to the prom. Is that dishonest?
Here is Ludacris with his new look at KUBE 93's Summer Jam on 7/29, courtesy of Cake and Ice Cream.
In this clip for an upcoming MTV special, Paris Hilton talks about her love of singing, how she worked harder for it than anything in her life, and how she's wanted to sing since she was a little girl. She delivers these lines while sitting back on a couch and never changing the tone of her voice. She looks completely bored, like it doesn't really interest her to discuss her newfound music career, and she's doing it because she has to.
Paris Hilton is less excited making her crappy bubblegum music than the average secretary doing her daily job. Can you imagine if you called an office and the person answering the phone was as devoid of emotion as Paris? If it was a high-powered executive's office, you would wonder why they put up with such a bad assistant.
In Paris Hilton's case, you wonder why she bothers to get up in the morning. Is she really depressed or just bored with life?
Media analysts have called Paris Hilton a "palette cleanser" and said that she's the perfect brand advertisement because she can be anything you want her to be. With no real passions or obvious interests beyond shopping and showing up for stuff, it's obvious why. She just doesn't give a shit what you do with her.
Look, she blends in with the background perfectly. She's like a pillow that coordinates with everything.
Lindsay Lohan wrote an e-mail to gossip mogul Perez Hilton damning the hoards of paparrazi that follow her everywhere. Before you question the authenticity of the e-mail, Perez has hung out with Lohan. He also works out of a Hollywood coffee shop that stars frequent, and just saw Lohan on Wednesday morning. Her grammar isn't that great, but she's probably dashing off the message on her Blackberry while surrounded by photographers:
Almost witnessed 3kids being hit by paparazzi.... Never in my life had an expirience as I just did with the paparazzi. I am not kidding I am shaking, cannot breathe a bit, scared, anxious and sad. If someone doesn't feel bad, than I will feel bad for myself. It is disgusting what these g-d damn people are doing to me. As well as the people in my life that I work with/for. Its vulgar and I'm saddened for myself.
And, ANY of those willing to fall into judging me in any way in the future, or past. Can watch the video tapes that these men/women take of me while they are being invasive towards my DAY off.... Which I never have anymore. (Send that to Morgan Creek)
G-d Bless.
xxl
The paparrazi are going too far if some kids almost got hit.
So Lindsay feels sorry for herself? Judging from the amount of photographs of Lindsay that hit the 'net on a daily basis, she must have a hard time just getting away from it all.
She seems torn between loving the publicity and nightlife and wanting to have a little peace and quiet. She certainly plays to the cameras when it's to her advantage.
Maybe if she quit showing up for every event she could stem her popularity just enough to get some precious alone time. It might do wonders for her credibility, too.
A new editorial claims Lindsay is headed for Tara Reid country and that she's the one who courts disaster. We have to agree:
Slow down, Lindsay, and the paparazzi will too. You don't need to be roadkill.
Here is Lohan at the Saturn X Games kickoff party on 8/2. I don't know who the guy is that she's posing with, but some of you probably do. [via]
Scarlett Johansson and Josh Hartnett were photographed together in NY yesterday. Hartnett stopped into the Apple store to get some tech support while Johansson went shopping and ate an ice cream. Here's the photo description from Hollywood's Best:
Scarlet and Josh seem to have an on-again off-again relationship. They have been together for a little over a year, and It was reported back in late March that they had broken up. Josh's reps denied the story.
Scarlet was seen partying in the Hamptoms this summer with Wilmer Valderrama, which is said to have made Josh jealous.
They have a low-profile relationship, and from the looks of these candids would rather not be photographed together.
Scarlet says she is sick of people mistaking her twin brother for her boyfriend:
I've never seen Johansson's brother, but I bet he's pretty cute.

Jessica Simpson's controlling dad is at it again. Her manager dad Joe is said to be partially to blame for the dissolution of her marriage to Nick Lachey and now he supposedly wants Jessica to stop hanging out with Eva Longoria, because she steals the limelight from Jess.
He didn't just tell Jessica that he didn't like her seeing Eva, he went behind her back to dupe Eva into not attending Jessica's birthday party with the rest of her friends.
Sneaky Joe had an assistant phone Eva and tell her Jessica had to cancel because she was ill. Then he arranged for a private plane to whisk Jess and galpals to Vegas, where they partied hearty at a post birthday bash... without Eva, who had "mysteriously" neglected to RSVP! When Eva realized she'd been duped, she was furious - and Jessica was left holding the bag and apologizing profusely for the snub... but Longoria's livid! Stay tuned.
Poor Jessica is going to be left with a half-assed hairdresser as her only friend in this difficult, single time. She needs all the girlfriends she can get and that's awful of her dad to try to cut Eva Longoria out of her life.
Maybe now that the news has got out Jessica will tell her dad to step off finally. It's about time she dumped him as her manager and stepped out on her own.
Here she is at Lodge Steakhouse in LA with some other girlfriends. The pictures are from Sweet Kisses.net, where they say she "shows off her fuller figure." Teetering between a size 6 and 8 doesn't seem like a full figure to me, but I suppose everything is relative in Hollywood.
And who's that tight-faced woman in the terrible pink gathered dress behind her? She doesn't look fun or trash-talking like Eva. (Not that I like Eva, but she's probably fun to hang out with.)
Lindsay Lohan probably thinks it's cute or whatever to wear her Pink Taco boyfriend's undershirt out in public for all the paparrazi to see. She could have fit one of those white diaphanous shirts she likes to wear into one of her giant purses for the day after, but it was already stuffed full with three bikinis.
Lohan is probably going to have to give a statement in the suit against her mother, Dina, who is being sued for switching Lohan's record label to get a more high-profile deal. Now that Lohan's music and acting career is taking a nosedive, that settlement is going to be worth a lot less.
Here is Lohan looking all busy and unable to balance her accessories while gleefully showing off her store-bought goodies. Her shirt isn't as see-through as Jessica Simpson's, but she's working with what was in her boyfriend's closet.
Jessica Simpson's hair is a mess, she needs a dye job, and she's wearing orange lipstick that emphasizes her trout pout, but who's looking at her face anyway? She's wearing a completely see through dress. A short chubby woman with overplucked eyebrows and equally bad lipstick tries to look important by shielding Simpson, but she can't hide those exposed boobs, even though she's the right height.
Ken Paves is seen in the background, so Jessica has no excuse for that hair, unless Ken advised her to go for the JBF hair look. She may as well look like she's getting laid even if she has to resort to transparent dresses to look sexy. Ken probably scratched her arm with a hairbrush to make it look like she's having rough sex.
Jessica Simpson has admitted that Madonna "influenced" her latest crappy single, "Holiday," I mean "Public Affair." It's a wonder Madonna hasn't filed suit yet because the song is nearly indistinguishable from Madonna's hit.
That's like that "Opal Mehta" author saying she was "influenced" by the books she lifted passages from.
Here is Simpson outside the Ivy on 7/31. [via]
Barbra Streisand must have seen those terrible pictures of herself that came out recently, or maybe she just wants to spruce up for her latest concert comeback. Regardless she's seen outside a plastic surgeon's office clutching a juice box while covered in a black veil.
It will take more than surgery to fix Babs. Maybe she should call Madonna and get some tips on how to slim down while cashing in on tired old gimmicks to sell out concerts. Barbra desperately needs the help, her high-priced concert tickets aren't selling well and her longterm fans are pissed at paying big bucks for her last tour, which she claimed was her final one.

Christina Aguilera says that she loves having sex with her husband, music producer Jordan Bratman, in public places.
Unfortunately Aguilera seems to prefer indoor public places, making embarassing pictures unlikely. I don't really want to imagine Aguilera and Bratman having sex, and wish I never brought it up.
Here they are outside of a restaurant on 7/28. Aguilera looks drunk, and she seems to have dribbled something on her left breast. [via]
When I reported on the scathing letter Lohan received from the production studio head of her latest film, I said, "Lohan has become a parody of herself and will have a steady career of increasingly more embarassing endorsements if she doesn't slow down and focus on her acting. Oh wait - she can sing too, right?"
She can sing, but her music career has fallen prey to her partying ways, too. The British arm of her record label has given her the boot because her single tanked in the UK. Lindsay's blamed for the failure since she couldn't be bothered to go to England for promotion:
The single she did release was appropriately named Over, which is what will happen to Lindsay’s career if she doesn’t clean up her act soon.
Oops Lindsay, better concentrate on your career instead of how good you look to the paparrazi.
Here is Lindsay kick-boxing on the beach this weekend. Her trainer looks perplexed and a bit scared. That little firecracker might just hurt him if he's not careful.

James Blunt was voted fourth most annoying in a British list. He fell behind telemarketers, camping caravans, and people who cut in line. He was more annoying than everything else according to poller sentiment. Paper cuts, loud neighbors, and farts can't hold a candle to Blunt's treacle:
Other people who made the list include Celebrity Big Brother couple Chantelle and Preston (9th), Carol Vorderman (11th) and Abi Titmuss (18th).
The singer did not finish top though, Blunt's three saving graces being cold callers, caravans and queue jumpers.
The Top 20 Most Annoying Things:
1. Cold callers
2. Caravans
3. Queue jumpers
4. James Blunt
5. Traffic wardens
6. Tailgaters
7. Brown nosers
8. Chantelle and Preston
9. Ex-smokers
10. Noisy neighbours
11. Hangovers
12. Carol Vorderman
13. Loud mobile users
14. Men in flip-flops
15. Paper cuts
16. Bad hair days
17. Breaking wind
18. Abi Titmuss
19. Off milk
20. Being put on hold
I'd rather drink a glass of sour milk any day than have to endure "You're Beautiful" again.
Of course Blunt is ten times more annoying for having landed Petra Nemcova. He's rumored to have a wee willy winky, so Nemcova must just go for the vacant sensitive type.
Here are Blunt and Nemcova in Prague on 7/18 and 7/20. [via]
One of Gwyneth's co-stars in the London stage production of "Proof" said that she had some bizarre practices backstage.
Stewart recalls, "Gwyneth is lovely but she is, in the nicest sense, in another world.
"Personal chefs prepared her macrobiotic food but the food was delicious -- even brownies with no chocolate!
"She practiced yoga so she was incredibly flexible. I didn't have to do that but we did have a cast 'group hug' every night. It is so not British, but it was OK."
It sounds pretty normal to do yoga if that's your thing, but a personal chef at a theatre production? I don't know. Couldn't she have her macrobiotic meals delivered?
Group hugs are kind of strange, but not damning. I usually look at the crap Gwyneth says to call her pretentious. Reader Millie has a friend who is an acquaintance of Paltrow's and says she's really nice, though.
WWTDD really dislikes Gwyneth, and is quick to point out that she has no higher-level education and got her early work from family friends:
And Oh No They Didn't shows before and after pictures of Gwynnie's face that make it clear that she's had rhinoplasty and eye work. She had a good surgeon, I can say that for her.
It seems like we've seen these pictures of Lindsay Lohan in a bikini before, but she always seems to be in a bikini, and she changes them to let us know that the pictures are new. She must love skipping rocks, doing pushups, and frolicking in the Malibu surf for the paparrazi while fully made up. Look, she's even got a new camera. Maybe some of the hoards of photographers around her can give her some tips on how to get those perfect candids.
Lohan's hard-partying mother, Dina, has defended her daughter's constant exhaustion on set, saying she has asthma and that's why she sounds like a 70 year-old woman when she talks and has no endurance on the job:
On top of which, says her mom, Lindsay "was wearing winter clothes and she was telling people, 'I need water, I need water.' And they just want to get the shot, want to get the shot."
The elder Lohan said Lindsay was physically affected "after she had left (the set) and went home."
Speaking to Access, Dina said, "I'm a mother and will do what I need to do to protect my child. … She's a human being. There was one day when she was late, and they (director Garry Marshall and costar Jane Fonda) worked the schedule around her. Garry, Jane, everybody loves her."
And now, apparently, so does Robinson. [Lindsay's boss who wrote the scathing letter] "I've never had a minute's trouble with her. She's every inch a lady," the film executive told the Hollywood Reporter on Friday. "I felt I needed to remind her of her obligations to show up."
Well, everyone is happy now and maybe Lindsay will be able to get some much-needed water on set. She certainly lives in it when she's at home.

Penelope Cruz says that acclaimed Spanish director Amoldovar made a "woman" out of her in the soon-to-be-released "Volver." Her butt was specially enhanced for the film, and Cruz enjoyed playing a role that was, uh, meatier than she's typically cast in:
When I started working at 16, the kind of parts I was offered were always interesting but, of course, all had elements of being the girl.
'But I think if I want to have a long career I have to look for the meat on the part, and the meat doesn't have to be the butcher's best cut. Some of the roughest cuts are the sweetest,' she proclaimed.
That means not limiting her energies to Hollywood fare. 'I would never leave Europe. Here, women work when they are older; it's part of the culture, despite the obsession with weight and looks.
She says that she looks forward to working when she's 50, and getting more of those meatier roles.
Penelope Cruz looks great in a bikini and shopping on 7/30 with what one bulletin board poster describes as "a gay guy." She is in Hollywood's playground, Saint Tropez. Some of the pictures have a woman topless in the background and are sort of NSFW.
It's probably true that Cruz' companion is gay, but he must not have very good self esteem if he let her go out in an orange dress while carrying a purple purse.

Their newborn is just over two months old, so this isn't that shocking, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are repotedly sleeping apart because Angelina wants to be near Shiloh while Brad needs his beauty sleep:
The Fight Club star is supposedly struggling to get his beauty sleep in following Shiloh’s birth in May, so has decided to sleep in a different room to his gorgeous lover whilst she stays with their infant daughter.
A source tells The People, "She wants to keep an eye on her. Brad needs his sleep but he helps when he can."
This sounds like the time they were staying in that slum in Paris and Brad had to sleep on the couch because Angelina was pregnant and taking up the whole bed.
Star Magazine is reporting that Angelina is not happy with her stretch marks and post-partum body and that's the real reason she's keeping Brad out of the bedroom. She supposedly doesn't want to have sex, which is worrying Brad, but she just had a baby and that sounds pretty normal.
Dana at Dana's Dirt says that Angelina better put out soon or Brad will lose interest:
If he did it with you, he'll do it to you ANGELINA!
Here's Angelina driving around, looking fierce. Shiloh is said to be in the back seat, but that's not big news since it's not like Suri, whose supposed baby seat or stroller has never been photographed.

Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock got married in the first of the four weddings they're planning. They were wed on a yacht on Saturday in Saint Tropez, France. Pam wore a white bikini and captain's cap, and Kid Rock looked even less presentable shirtless in jeans and a fedora.
Anderson and Rock, 35, began dating in spring 2001. They became engaged on April 11, 2002, in the Las Vegas desert, but split the following year. Still, when they ran into each other early this month in Saint-Tropez on a mutual friend's yacht, the feelings were still there.
"It was like we'd never been apart," Rock told PEOPLE on July 11. "(I) love her to death." Anderson announced their engagement on her Web site on July 18.
So why the whirlwind nuptials? "It's just timing," Anderson told PEOPLE on Wednesday. "It's being in love, obviously, and it's time for me to move on with my life and get on with the rest of it with my kids."
These two are not going to last three months.
Like Eminem, Kid Rock reveals his misogynistic personality in his lyrics. Here's a preview of what these two did on their wedding night: (Warning, this is freaking gross.)
Sorry for that, I could not resist posting those lyrics.
Here are Pam Anderson and Kid Rock on their wedding day. The woman got married to two different guys, wearing a bikini each time. So classy. [via]
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck made a rare public appearance at the Red Sox Angels game in Boston yesterday. Unfortunately the Red Sox lost, 4-10.
Garner and Affleck have an eight month-old daughter, Violet, who was not with them at the game. They are reportedly planning a permanent move to Ben's hometown of Cambridge, MA, after staying there for the Summer while Ben makes his directorial debut.
There have been rumors that Garner is pregnant with her second child, but a woman who claims to be a cousin of Ben Affleck's writes to Celebrity Baby Blog that that's definitely not true.

Maybe Victoria Silvstedt staged these pictures to make it look like she's pleasuring herself on her balcony, but it's more likely that they're real. There are pictures of her receiving oral from a small buck-toothed guy off the side of a dock, so this is pretty minor in comparison.
In case you care, Silvstedt is a Swedish "model," who was Playboy Playmate of the Year in 1997. She's only 31, but extensive plastic surgery and bad lip collagen make her look much older.
Silvstedt is shown on a balcony on an unknown date and on a boat in St Tropez on July 22. [via]
Now that the first wax baby has been unveiled at Madame Tussaud's museum, it's obvious why they didn't do it sooner. The thing looks like one of those creepy reborn dolls that people paint to look like newborns. My husband's aunt has one of those things at her house, and we took a picture of it because it fascinated us. We also put my then seven month-old son in the doll's bed after he fell asleep. (Before you think I dressed him in too-small clothes, those were his backup pants after he had an accident.)
Waxed Angelina looks like a female impersonator, but she isn't as bad as the wax version of Keira Knightly.
Now that Shiloh is immortalized as an infant, maybe Madame Tussauds can help Tom and Katie dispel those pesky rumors that Suri doesn't exist. She's over three months old and has never been photographed, but maybe Katie can bring her in for a personal wax session. A waxed baby Suri would do wonders to make her seem real.

Lindsay Lohan, the hardest working cokehead in show business, had to be rushed to the emergency room for like the 15th time after getting heat stroke on the set of her film, "Georgia Rule."
“She was overheated and dehydrated,” says Lohan’s rep, Leslie Sloane-Zelnick, who adds that the starlet spent a couple of hours in the hospital after being given a Vitamin B shot. “She was filming in 105-degree weather for 12 hours,” she said.
Lohan is expected to return to the set tomorrow.
Though Lindsay was seen partying in L.A. the night before she was rushed to the hospital, friends claim she’s trying to turn over a new Lohan. A friend of the actress, 20, tells Us that Lohan’s new boyfriend, Harry Morton, 25 — who does not use alcohol or drugs — has had a profound effect on her.
I believe she was affected by the heat. I also believe she cut her foot on a teacup after taking a shower. Whether any of these hospitalizations were influenced by substance abuse we may never know.
She's been with that guy Harry for nearly a month and his time's just about up if she's showing up at parties in bikinis. It also can't work to his favor that he doesn't drink or do lines. You can't change Lindsay Morgan Lohan.
Here is Lohan outside of the Ivy restaurant on 7/23 and on the set of "Georgia Rule" on 7/18. She's acting all cat-like, stretching and spreading her legs. You can tell the exhaustion is just about to set in. [via]
Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley are on their honeymoon in Portofino, Italy. Avril and Deryck were married in a fairytale wedding on a private estate in Montecito, CA on July 15th, 2006.
Avril has been rumored to be pregnant, with bloggers like us gleefully pointing out her tiny stomach bump. She's seen drinking wine in these candids, though, making it unlikely that she's with child.
Avril and Deryck enjoyed jet-skiing, sightseeing and some private cuddle time on a yacht. Their honeymoon hasn't all been casual fun. They were seen dressed up to attend a party.

Lindsay Lohan is recanting her accusation that Paris Hilton is somehow responsible for the nasty missives that were sent to Lindsay's friends from her hacked Blackberry. Paris probably figured out Lindsay's password and sent the messages, which sound just like Paris' hate-filled idiocy, but Lindsay can't prove it and doesn't want to deal with getting sued.
"They weren't," she now said. "We now have her lawyers looking into it."
Defamer has an eyewitness who claims that Paris complained loudly to her entourage that "firecrotch" was calling her "again" and sent two calls from Lindsay to voicemail.
Poor Lindsay needs a gal pal or a trusty hairdresser who can keep up with her. She's wearing out her fuck buddies quickly and doesn't have anyone to have a raspy chat with.
Lindsay attended Jeremy Piven's birthday party in two different flesh-colored bikinis. There are several things wrong with her outfits. In the pictures of other party-goers she seems to be the only wearing a bikini. Does she really need the attention that badly? She also managed to chose swimwear in two colors that are completely unflattering to her skintone. I'm also a fair-skinned strawberry blonde and I know better than to wear pink or light tan. It just makes her looked washed up. I mean washed out. Then again, maybe she was going for that nude look.

Former X-Files star Gillian Anderson, 37, left her second husband, documentary filmmaker Julian Ozanne, 42, after just 16 months. They announced their split at the end of April.
Anderson is pregnant now with her second child and is dating a new guy, but she's visibly pregnant, and looks like she's about five months along. That means that either she got pregnant by her estranged husband and will be raising his baby with another guy (which is similar to what Heidi Klum did with Seal) or that she was pregnant by her boyfriend and that could be the reason she split up with her husband:
The actress, 37, has told friends she is expecting a baby following her separation from documentary-maker Julian Ozanne, her second husband...
Miss Anderson is now reported to be dating wheelclamping firm director Mark Griffiths. The 34-year-old businessman, who operates his lucrative private clamping company from an industrial estate in North London, was previously linked with former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
Last month Mr Griffiths, who used to live close to Miss Anderson's marital home in Notting Hill, West London, moved into her new £3million home in nearby Holland Park.
The couple are also said to have enjoyed a holiday to California with Piper, Miss Anderson's daughter by her first husband, Canadian television art director Clyde Klotz. The actress's marriage to Mr Ozanne broke down shortly after The Mail on Sunday revealed she had a bizarre alcohol-fuelled outburst on a flight in January this year...
When The Mail on Sunday asked Mr Ozanne if his former wife was pregnant he declined to comment.
We speculated back in April that Anderson's relationship with her second husband was probably on the rocks because she seemed to be drinking too much. She suffered from drunken air rage (although one can hardly blame her, with the stress of flying and all) and looked visibly drunk in these candids of her out with her then-husband.
Hopefully she's laying off the sauce now that's she's pregnant and maybe she'll find happiness with her latest beau. It's not too promising that he runs a "wheel-clamping" business, though. Who doesn't hate those guys?
Here are pictures of Anderson from March out with her husband. She is seen at the Belle Epoque Dinner on 3/16 and in some candids looking visibly soused. Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton are also shown. The first set of pictures you may have seen before, but the second set are new to me. [via]

Tori Spelling's not pregnant, so there's no excuse for that weird satin number she was wearing a few weeks ago. She's also due to inherit a large portion of her father's $500 million estate, so she really doesn't give a shit if her cheating pageant-winner mom likes her or not:
But a source tells Us that Tori, 33, will get “a significant portion” of Aaron Spelling’s estimated $500 million estate. Adds the pal, “If Candy had her way, Tori wouldn’t have gotten a thing.”
Obviously Tori knew that she didn't have to get into her mother's good graces to cash in on her inheritance or she wouldn't have talked so openly about getting snubbed by her family.
Let me just apologize for the lack of posting lately. It's hot as hell here in eco-friendly Switzerland without air conditioning, and my son's babysitter is on vacation. To encourage me to continue digging celebrity gossip, please visit the sponsors. Thank you!
Here is Tori at the Much Music awards in Canada last month. [via]
Nicole Richie was shopping at Kitson in LA, where she picked up a bunch of overpriced bangles. They were probably too heavy for her frail arms because she fainted dead away:
So the bangles may have been purchased on another shopping trip when she wasn't so unwell. What's important is that she declined food because there weren't any paparazzi in the store to photograph her eating it.
I fainted a couple of different times after giving blood, so I just don't do it anymore. It's pretty suspect that Nicole is fainting, but she's actually gained a smidgeon of weight. It could be due to low blood sugar or the heat, she's right. Fainting is defined as:
Richie could certainly be hungry or upset . I remember when Angelina Jolie fainted at the airport a while ago. It turned out she was pregnant. I'm just saying. It's more likely that Nicole is hungry, but she has been spending a lot of time with her ex, DJ AM, lately. They even dress alike, although he looks like he's running away from her in these pictures.
Here are recent pictures of Richie with AM, buying a cat, and at the beach. [via and via]
Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley were married last weekend in California, and Canada.com has the official photos. They're low quality, but clear and lovely, and show the happy couple exchanging rings, kissing, eating the cake, and taking off Avril's garter during the reception. Picture captions include details such as the chandelier that hung from the flower-draped awning under which they were married, and their four-tiered half-chocolate half-vanilla wedding cake.
Avril says that the ceremony was an emotional moment for her, and that she did her best to keep poised:
Guests took home guitar picks with the bride and groom's name, and custom gift boxes. I wonder how long it will take before they hit eBay.
Pictures from Canada.com. Some higher resolution candids of the cermony that were not published here before are at the end and are from ALavigne.com.br.
Rachel Weisz was snapped getting into a supposedly new Jeep in NY on 7/15. The pictures are captioned "Rachel Weisz and her new baby buy a new jeep," but it's hard to tell if the jeep is actually new.
Weisz may reprise her role as Brendon Frasier's girlfriend in "The Mummy 3."
She is said to want to keep her six-week old son, Henry Chance, out of show business, and talked about her too-early start:
“Big hair, big pout, really working the camera at just 13,” she remembers, “I certainly wouldn’t let my children do it.”
She looks fabulous and natural in these latest candids, and seems to be a hands-on mom. Also shown is her husband, director Darren Aronofsky. [via]
People are comparing Suri to Bigfoot, so I thought I'd change it to the Loch Ness Monster to be original. Like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, there are "eyewitness" accounts, but no verifiable photographs of the Scientology savior, Suri Cruise. Something's wrong with the baby or it simply does not exist. Katie may have had it earlier than "expected" or she may have suffered an unfortunate miscarriage that hasn't been acknowledged. Regardless there is something off about this story that needs to be exposed by the mainstream gossip press.
All sane celebrity friends of Tom and Katie have yet to see the baby, except for Leah Remini, a devout Scientologist who now claims to have seen the infant:
"She's a newborn and normal size!" Remini said.
Like Tom Cruise, Remini is a member of the Church of Scientology.
Even though they had a very public courtship, Cruise and Holmes have not presented their baby in public and so far haven't inked a deal with a magazine for exclusive photos of the baby.
Conspiracy theories abound in the tabloid press and on blogs about why baby Suri hasn't been seen. Some even speculate that the baby doesn't exist at all, while others point out that Tom Cruise also kept his two adopted children, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, out of the public eye when they were little.
As for Suri, a family friend described the baby as "a cross between the two – [with] dark, straight hair and dark eyes."
Yeah, so we'll take your word for it, Leah Remini, even though Suri or a bundle resembling an infant has never been photographed despite hoards of paparrazi trailing the Holmes-Cruise family for the past three months. The infant also hasn't been seen by non-Scientology celebrities since it was said to be born three months ago, and the "birth certificate" is suspect.
There's a far-away blurry picture of Katie Holmes holding a tow-headed baby, but that's probably a fake. There's also a far-away picture of what looks like a baby carriage, but it could be a prop or something else entirely.
None of Katie's family has seen the baby according to reports, but Katie was said to have visited them in Ohio at the end of May - and to have brought Suri with her! WTF is going on?!
Katie was spotted back in LA visiting her favorite overpriced store, Barneys. As one commentor on x17 points out, she didn't buy any baby items. I always get something for my son when I'm shopping.
The bloggers always uncover stories before the mainstream press does, and this is no exception. It's not as important as a lack of WMD in Iraq, but it's just as obvious.

Britney Spears was spotted with yet another bodyguard taking over manny duty. This unknown guard bears a striking resemblance to a bloated Ben Affleck and was pushing the Graco stroller while Britney chatted on the phone. She looked relatively cleaned up and presentable for an average day out.
Meanwhile Kevin Federline was seen toting a trendy piece of exercise equipment, the BOLA trainer, which some suggest is a rude ass hint to Britney. They have those things at my gym and I think you're supposed to balance on them and train your abs, but I have no idea since I generally avoid exercise equipment that makes me look foolish. (I have a theory that trainers capitalize on this and make people do dumb shit they would be too embarassed or confused to do on their own.)
Kevin will be "rapping" at the Teen choice awards on August 20th. It will be surprising if he performs "Papazoa," since he said recently that the entire song was a joke meant to set peoples' expectations for his talent low.
Britney has posted a new "stream of consciousness" poem-thing on her website in praise of tigers - yes tigers. She expounds on the wild beasts in a segment that's reminiscent of an elementary school essay:
In some ways, people are a lot like animals. We all hunger for the same things. Love, lust, danger, warmth and adventure. Like people, animals all have their own rythm to life. I'm mesmirized [sic] by tigers. Their eyes, their stripes, their constant quest of [sic] survival. They almost have a sense of mysteriousness about them. They pull you in and make it difficult to look away. They make you wonder what is behind their gaze. A sense of eerie awe comes over you in their presence. The fear they give you when you pass them is stunning. Behold the beauty of the tiger.
I'm mesmirized by Britney's excellent prose. I would wonder why one of her handlers didn't edit this or advise her against posting it, but she went on national television in short shorts with hair looking like a rat's nest, so this little poem is a minor indiscretion.
Here is Britney and Ben Affleck, I mean her bodyguard/manny that's not Perry:

Hero Matthew McConaughey, who routinely saves kittens, children, and swooning middle-aged women from the brink of death, is auctioning off his 1971 Corvette Stingray Convertible on eBay to benefit Oprah's Angel Network charity. Notice how all the "G"s are removed from the ends of words in the item description to make McConaughey's quotes more believable. It looks like a search and replace job:
"I’ve gone to Mexico & back in it, driven across Texas in it...lotta late night drives...take off at midnight and get on the open highway with the top down...top was very seldom up in my drives. Enough room in the trunk for one persons back pack, or two for real light travel."[via]"I admire and enjoy this car, but it’s a luxury that I’m willin to relinquish at this point because I am fortunate enough to have everythin I need, and the sale of it will help so many with the necessities in life...part of stayin connected with an on-goin cause to help those in need for the long term...besides, I can’t pull my Airstream with it!"
With so many hours of drive time, the car's going to have that authentic McConaughey smell that even the most thorough detailing job won't be able to eliminate.
Here are pictures of the car from eBay and some photos of McConaughey arriving at the ESPY awards on July 12th. [via] He looks like he went biking with Lance and Jake beforehand. If you can't grow a full beard, don't bother.
There's not much of a story to go along with these pictures. Aguilera's International Barbie Pepsi ad aired in the US this week, but we already covered that. Here's Aguilera at her hotel in Paris on July 17th. She seems to have ditched her nipple ring.
The fat guy ogling her in one of the pictures is pretty disgusting. One forgets that celebrities are the subjects of all sorts of creepy desires. When they dress like Christina Aguilera, it's no wonder.
Mischa Barton is reportedly in talks to join the cast of the once-good "Desperate Housewives." She's young, intelligent and naturally gorgeous. That's gotta piss off most of the cast:
If Barton joined, she could add a breath of fresh air to the failing series, and some much needed competition to the older women on the cast. There are no cute 20-somethings on the show, and it would be a good idea to court Barton to sign on.
Here are pictures of Mischa's latest nip slip that you've probably already seen. They're NSFW.
It must be very stressful to be an out of work celebrity who has to resort to hosting second rate reality shows on little-known cable networks. I saw these photos of Shannen Doherty promoting her new show on Oxygen in which she helps couples split up or something, and thought, "OMG, how old is she?" Doherty is 35, but looks 45. She's just aged terribly. Of course she looks good in the airbrushed promo photos for the series.
Doherty held a press conference to announce her new show, and got all upset when asked about her reputation:
"I'm not going to lie to you; it hurts a lot to read the stuff I read about myself, and it hurts me and it hurts my mom a lot," said Doherty, who choked back tears as she looked at her mother, who was nearby. Doherty acknowledged she had only herself to blame for much of what had been written about her, but she later asked reporters to give her another chance.
"I hate to use the word 'unfair' because, again, I have to stand up and say it wasn't just the press," she said. "I played a huge part, a huge part, and everybody has a job. And if I'm creating some of the drama, then you guys have a job to report it.
"But where I start to say 'OK, now we're getting out of hand' is when nobody lets it die," she said. "Nobody says, 'You know what? She was young. Give her a break.' Give me a chance to mess up again. Stop writing about stuff that happened 10 years ago. Stop bringing up every bad thing in my life. And give me another chance to mess up. If I mess up again, then write about it. But just let me breathe and let my parents breathe. Let them pick up the paper and it says one nice thing about me."
You got it, Shannen. We are moving on to the fact that you said you have been on only one date in the last 18 months and have reached a time in your life when you can declare: "I don't need a man to make me happy."
Looking fit in a strapless black top and white slacks and refreshingly her age (read: no Botox), Doherty 'fessed up about something else regarding her show. She is not selling herself as an authority on relationships.
"I think an expert doesn't mess up nearly as many times as I have," she said. "I think that I'm good with getting over relationships. I'm good with dealing with the guilt, the tears and the mourning and the grief because God knows I've done it enough."
That's too bad that Doherty hasn't dated in so long and maybe this show will help her hook up with a new guy. She doesn't look "refreshingly her age," though. She looks 7-10 years older. Am I right or am I just accustomed to the Botoxed plastic look?

X17 online points out that Jennifer Garner's got a bump on the set of her latest movie, thriller "The Kingdom." It just looks like an unflattering shirt tucked in where it shouldn't be, but you can never be sure. We were all over that "Nicole Kidman's pregnant - now she isn't" story, and we'll continue to report the bump watch celebrities. We're sure to be right once in a while.
Garner has a seven month-old daughter, Violet, with husband Ben Affleck. She may just be having trouble losing the baby weight, although she still looks great. It was reported a few months ago that she was planning on getting naked in her new film, "Sabbatical." I wonder if that's true and when it will start filming.
The pictures of Jen on set were supposedly taken on June 30th, and from Jen-Fans.com and are medium resolution. The candids of Jen in a white top are from X17online.com and are low resolution.
Pepsico tries to show that carbonated sugar water is palatable to all gullible cultures by posing Christina Aguilera in various outfits and hairstyles that would look just as good on International collector Barbies.
Aguilera used to shill for Pepsi's biggest competitor, Coke, but moved over when they gave her the chance to spend more time in hair and makeup. Her endorsement deal is said to be around $3.7 million:
The chart-topper samples the classic cola in a series of exotic locales where she dances and gyrates to a variety of cultural rhythms before ending up back in New York, hellomagazine.com reported.
"I had a great time," Aguilera said after the filming.
A more accurate spokesperson for Pepsi would be Rosie O'Donnell. We loved the normal Snapple lady from Long Island. Why can't Pepsi go the everyperson route and hire an average person who actually consumes their drink? Jared helped Subway boost sales, and a non-celebrity everyman/woman would do the same for Pepsi. Instead some brilliant marketer decided to use Christina Aguilera and make her look even more plastic.

So my friend didn't figure out how to make posts properly, and neither did the guy who e-mailed all the bloggers saying he was available for help while we were on vacation.
Anyway I'm back from the south of France, which is beautiful and all, but take my advice and don't use Mapquest to get to your idyllic destination with your surly hosts near Johnny Depp's house. Stick to the highways because those windy lines on the map are really perilous mountain passes that aren't meant for anything but arrogant French drivers in tiny Renaults.
Also back is gorgeous helpful Perry, manny to the stars. He was spotted driving Britney to get some fast food. Sean Preston was not in the car, so it must be true that Perry has given up manny duty in favor of his original job as super-hot personal security and arm candy.
We thought Perry was out of the picture when it was reported that Kevin disliked him and said he shouldn't care for Sean Preston. K-Fed was also said to be enraged that Sean Preston was calling Perry "Da Da" and generally bonding with the father he never had. The baby-Bjorn wearing Naval Academy graduate was said to be on per-diem security duty, which spelled curtains for him in our book, but look - he's driving Britney to McDonalds!
Britney said in her upcoming Harper's Bazaar interview that she can't wait to get back in shape after the birth of her second child in September. She says she's "going to get really intense with it" so she can prepare to perform again. In that case we hope she had a McDonald's salad and skipped the fries and soft drink.
Thanks for hanging in there during my brief vacation away from the Internet that followed my one month stay in America, aka shopping heaven.
I would also like to thank Ritu at Celebguru for letting us "borrow" her content during our vacation. I picked Celebguru to pilfer from as I enjoy Ritu's commentary and think she does a great job of covering the celebrity news and gossip.
Welcome back, Perry, and welcome back Celebitchy.

Dita Von Teese, the burlesque performer and wife of Marilyn Manson, redeemed herself partially in our eyes by admitting that her boobs are fake.
She says, "Why deny it? I'll always be very open about it. I hate it when people in the public eye aren't honest about any surgery that they've had."
I was annoyed with Dita a little over a month ago when she was quoted putting down other strippers and acting like hers was the only act in town. Doc pointed out that I have no clue about burlesque, and he was partially right. There's a difference between stripping and teasing, and in Dita's case it's to the tune of millions of dollars that can't just be stuffed in her panties.
Now she's admitted to surgery and that's a step in the non-bullshit direction. She still has much farther to go.
She says her job is "liberating" since she charges tens of thousands of dollars for an appearance, and that she's a sex symbol to both men and women. She also poo-poos the charges that she's setting back feminism:
"And as many women as men come to my shows. When I started my website in 1993, it was geared towards men. Now it has more female visitors - not necessarily lesbians, just young women interested in my style."
Dita, 33, who is married to rock star Marilyn Manson, thinks women are interested in her because they want tips on how they can become sexier to please their partners.
She added to Britain's The Times newspaper: "Most women want to be sex symbols, even if they don't admit it. Imagine being considered not for your mind but for how you look. Sort of fun, don't you think?"
There's all sorts of things wrong with that comment, and it could be considered downright nasty, if not ignorant and rude. There's nothing wrong with being sexy, but that doesn't mean that should be the only way you're evaluated in life. If that's the case then you're screwed no matter how sexy you are. It's not fun to be considered a piece of meat or an ornament. She might not have actually said this, though. It's attributed to The Times, but the quote sounds fake and is reprinted in a source that's not reliable.
In case you're a big Dita fan and think I'm being harsh, consider how many pictures I'm posting of her from various photoshoots. In the ladybug one she looks like a tranny. [via]
I have no idea how recent these are, but they were posted on Hollywood's Best on June 8th, so they could be recent. They look familiar but I'm not sure. Regardless it never hurt anyone to stare at Matthew McConaughey for a while.
McConaughey recently tried to hit up the paparrazi that were following him for cash. He forgot his wallet while out on a sweaty bike ride with Lance Armstrong and Jake Gyllenhaal and asked the photographers trailing them for $30 for some sandwiches. He ended up with $100, which was enough for lunch for everyone.
I'm off on my vacation, and will feature content from CelebGuru the rest of the week.
While looking for pictures of Johnny Depp, I found this hot recent photoshoot by Matt Sayles:
Depp won't say which of his characters he identifies with most. Although people have praised his role as Cap'n Jack Sparrow, he says all of his characters are close to his heart. He also says he doesn't take work just for the money:
"I'll never reveal the truth … I cannot and will not say. No, I think with all the characters, you know, they're still in there, you know. Ed Wood pops up every now and again," says Depp. "Captain Jack, certainly. Closest to me? You know, maybe. It's hard for me to say."
"After you left television and you were trying to do movies that you were passionate about, was it ever really hard to say 'no' to more money or 'no' to bigger movies and really follow your heart?" Cagle asks.
"Oh, yeah. definitely," Depp admits. "There were moments when, you know, sort of, whopper buckets of money were offered, where, you know, even in sort of your purest state you are tempted, you know? There is that temptation. But that's important to go through. I always figured that if there was gonna be money, you know, if I was able to stick it out, it would come later, you know? So I was patient. I couldn't do the work for the money. It couldn't be about that."
Depp is certainly popular enough to be picky about his roles, and his choices have served him well as an A-list actor. Although Depp won't admit which of his characters is his favorite, he did make the tattoo of a sparrow he sported as Captain Jack Sparrow permanent and added the caption "Jack." He says it is in honor of his youngest son, Jack Christopher Depp III, born on April 9, 2002.
Here is Depp looking hot in a T-shirt and fedora. [via]
I finally got around to watching "Batman Begins" this weekend. (I have a good excuse for not seeing it sooner since I have a two year-old son.) Christian Bale is incredibly hot, and I loved the movie. It was gritty and quite entertaining. Plus it really was enjoyable to stare at Christian Bale for a couple of hours. It got me thinking about Brandon Routh and how everyone is saying the new Superman is effeminate. Of course I'm not the first one to make the comparison between the new movie superheroes. Christian Bale himself made a reference to Superman in his acceptance speech for "Best Hero" at the MTV Movie awards :
Superman's civilian character is a lot dorkier than Batman's alter ego, which could explain the new Superman's gay/metrosexual vibe. Clark Kent is a "mild mannered reporter" who grew up in the Midwest (*cough* dork *cough*) while Bruce Wayne is a billionaire playboy who spent time in a Chinese prison camp.
Christian Bale, 32, has been married to celebrity assistant Sandra/Sibi, Blazic, 36, for six years. They met on the set of "Little Women" where Sandra was Winona Ryder's personal assistant. They have one child, a daughter born in March, 2005.
Brandon Routh, 26, has been plagued by rumors that he's gay since he's so well coiffed and everything, but has a longterm girlfriend, television actress Courtney Ford.
Routh and Bale are each hot in their own way, but my money would be on Batman in a fight. (Which I would pay dearly to see - if they both were naked.)
Note: I wrote this over the weekend and had it saved for a friend to publish for me while I am on vacation the second half of this week. I noticed that this is a hot topic at the JJB board, though, and thought I would publish it sooner. I did think of this myself, although it may not seem entirely original.
Here are pictures from "Batman Begins" and "Superman Returns" as well as some pictures of Routh and his girlfriend at the "Superman Returns" premiere, and Bale at "The New World" after party in January, 2006. [via] and [via]
In a pledge that she'll probably forget next week, Paris Hilton confirmed to Britains Guardian that she plans on being celibate for an entire year:
Now, she says, it's time to take care of business and indulge herself in a few consumables. What's the most extravagant thing she's ever bought? "Erm ... I just ordered the new Bentley convertible." How much is that? "I don't know - I didn't ask."
Paris says she makes her own money and deserves to be known for her, uh, fame, rather than her status as an heiress. She also brags about how gracious and sweet she is:
Hilton was brought up a Catholic, and still attends church. "I think a lot of people forget where they came from and treat people bad." The notion of her forgetting her roots sounds ludicrous, but I think I know what she means - she's not talking inherited wealth, but achievement. As she says, more than once, "I don't want to be known as the Hilton heiress, because I didn't do anything for that."
Paris dishes on Nicole in the article, saying that fame has changed her and that it "breaks her heart" while she's stayed the same, vapid person all along.
Author Naomi Wolf calls Paris a "palette cleanser" and compares her bland sexy-innocent image to white noise:
When told about Wolf's assessment of her, Paris says she doesn't know what it means, but that she thinks it's "nice."
While some people give Paris credit for her skyrocketing image, I believe her and think she's just been the same shop-a-holic party-girl all the time.
Of course I don't believe that she's going to be celibate for a year, because chances are she said that in a brief two-week lull and will forget all about it when the next hookup presents itself.
Paris is seen in a new photoshoot by Dave Hogan, and posing with her sister, Nicky, on July 8th in LA. She is also shown shopping for prison shorts on July 7th. [via]
British singer and cad Robbie Williams was said to have had sex with so many young ladies while on his latest tour that he needed to be treated for exhaustion. The Sun reports that he bedded four ladies in five days:
A doctor examined him and decided he needed an energy-boosting vitamin shot in his bum to make him fit enough for a gig that night.
He later told the crowd at Copenhagen’s Parken national stadium in Denmark: “I had to get a needle in my a*** this morning. It was because I didn’t want to let you down, brothers and sisters.”
A few weeks ago Robbie was complaining that he couldn’t find a girlfriend. Now he is back in the saddle big time.
Robbie pulled a pair of sisters in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Saturday — although only one of them stayed over.
On Sunday night he chatted up a blonde Swedish doctor who he spotted in the audience when he was on stage.
I’ve managed to get hold of the first picture of Marie Annerstedt who Robbie picked out after spotting she had scrawled Snog Me I’m a doctor across her ample chest.
Then, on Tuesday night, Robbie copped off with a redhead Dane in Copenhagen. The next evening, after the France v Portugal semi-final in the World Cup, Robbie picked up a cute blonde Danish girl. He is clearly enjoying his success with the fairer sex.
Robbie is out of shape from too much smoking if he can't perform with one woman a day. Jamie Foxx slept with four women all at once and still managed to make out with more on stage.
That woman who wrote "I'm a doctor - shag me" on her chest was probably put up to it by her friends and didn't expect to even get to talk to Robbie, not to mention fuck him. Everything I know about picking up rock stars I learned from "Almost Famous" and some documentary featuring those chicks who made plaster casts of the big rock stars' penises. It seems like you have to be mysterious and cool, or have some sort of angle to land a rock star for the night.
Robbie must be a straightforward guy who is just taking what he gets if he's going for the easy prey. Robbie said earlier that he had a hard time getting laid because women were naturally wary of him, so he's undoubtedly grateful for his good luck while on tour.
Here are pictures of Robbie at The Max Beesley Gala Dinner on June 4th and one outside his hotel in Amsterdam on June 20th. I'm not too up on British celebrities, and need to get ready for my trip, so you'll excuse me for not identifying everyone. I do think I spot Simon Le Bon. Pictures [via]
If someone told me Madonna was going to pull the tired hanging on the cross routine for her latest tour, I wouldn't have believed them. So while it may seem really stupid of Madonna to try to tie her fading star to two hot young singers at the MTV music awards again, it sounds like something she would do. She's persistent in her blind/blonde ambition, and she tends to beat dead horses and expect people to pay to watch, which they do.
She's said to now want to "pass her energy" onto Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson in an S&M number that probably borrows from her stupid "Confessions" tour. I bet it will have an equestrian theme, too:
Now the Queen Of Pop is planning to do a bondage scene with the two rising stars at this year’s awards in New York next month.
A source told me: “Madonna’s people contacted Jessica’s representatives a few weeks ago and the talks are progressing well.
“With both Jessica and Lindsay’s stock rocketing Madonna thinks they would be perfect to perform with.
“She’s planning something even more sexy than a lesbian kiss. The whispers are all about a bondage- inspired show.
“Madonna will keep the details hushed up until the night.”
The source is The Sun, which makes it seem like fake news, but you never know with Madonna. It could be true now that Madonna is converting Lohan to Kabbalah.
Please, Madonna, retire already. You look more like a cartoon character than a pop star, and you were right at home on stage at the Grammys with Gorillaz. You should devote your life to converting people to your sham cult and quit performing. Maybe you'll hook gullible Jessica Simpson into Kabbalah too. She's surely in need of some spiritual guidance.
Here is Madonna with her daughter Lourdes outside of the NY Kabbalah center on 6/30. Lindsay Lohan is shown shopping at Tower Records on 7/7 and in Malibu on 7/6. [via]. There are also some low-res candids of Jessica Simpson arriving at LA airport with her bodyguard. [via]
Matthew McConaughey was photographed drunk, high, or a bit of both on the fourth of July weekend in Costa Rica. This sort of contradicts a British report that showed Matt with a fat stomach and said he held an Independence Day party at his Malibu mansion. Both might be true and Matt may have been in Costa Rica on the weekend and back in time to throw the party on Tuesday. He doesn't look fat, though:
A barefoot, shirtless, and sweaty Matthew got his groove on by drinking, dancing, writhing on the floor and even shushing one of his fellow vacationers.
We all know he loves to party and as long as he's not pulling down Christmas trees or assaulting anyone it seems quite harmless.
Matt's hangover must not have lasted long. He was biking in the Malibu hills with Lance Armstrong and Jake Gyllenhaal on Wednesday, July 5th.
Here is Matt on the weekend in question and riding his bike a few days later with Lance and Jake. [via]
Paris Hilton says that her dumb public personae is all a put-on, and that she invented herself for the cameras:
"So before I started the show I thought I'd make a character like the movies Legally Blonde and Clueless mixed together... The public think they know me but they really don't."
Paris doesn't have the brains to be Elle Woods or Cher Horowitz, and she's flattering herself if she thinks people perceive her as fashionably ditzy but smart and well organized.
Paris also says she's uh, naturally shy, but that she has to live it up when she's out at an event because she's getting paid to be there.
Here is some evidence that Paris is either really forgetful, not shy at all, or a bit of both. She went commando in a red polka-dot dress recently. NSFW
Thanks to James at BlogNYC for finding the pics.
Have a great weekend everyone! Sorry posting was light today. I got a lot of spam from crazed Marissa Cooper fans. Blame them.
Update: Upon further close inspection, it looks like Paris was wearing underwear, but that they were the tiny string bikini type and were pushed to the side.
As if Lindsay needs more publicity, she now graces the cover of the August issue of GQ and appears in a porny spread inside. I read the part of the article about her that's viewable in these images, and it seems like more of the same crap about Lindsay and her life in the tabloids. The author probably comes to the conclusion that she's a smart businesswoman who's destined to go places.
The thing that gets me is that the quotes and this spread look like Playboy. You know how Playboy and Penthouse always make up crap for the models to say, like how they think their best friend is hot or how they arranged a threesome with their boyfriend? It's like these quotes are made up by GQ to make the over-the-top pictures seem even more slutty. Maybe that's how GQ always does it, though.
This week Lindsay is bedding a guy who runs a suggestively-named chain of taco joints, and is changing her bikini three times a day. As she says in the GQ article "really - who cares?"
In one of the quotes she insists her breasts are real: "I like my body and my breasts. And no, they're not fake." She could skirt the question or admit to surgery she's obviously had, but instead she wants to volunteer lies. We don't care, Lindsay, you're already damaged goods so a little boob job isn't going to harm your image.

Shannon Doherty will appear as a guest co-host on the asanine roundtable women's talk show, "The View." The otherwise forgettable show made headlines with the high-profile exit of cohost and former fatty Star Jones last week. Jones royally pissed off Barbara Walters by blabbing that she was leaving two days before the announcement was planned. She also told People Magazine that she felt like she was fired, since her contract wasn't renewed. Now that Doherty is going to step in temporarily, we can all commence forgetting about Star:
Doherty seems like a good choice to fill in for Star on a trial basis, since she's also generally considered a bitch with no career prospects. I think the last thing I saw her in was "Scare Tactics" on the SciFi channel. (I really enjoyed that show actually. It was one of the more inventive and entertaining reality shows.) She is also starting a new reality show on the Oxygen network in which she gives advice to people who are breaking up with their romantic partners.
Singer Brandy is slated to guest host on The View tomorrow and People wonders if she could replace Star. For now all the guest hosts are auditioning and it seems like it will be a while before a replacement is announced.
Meanwhile Star Jones has a new job. She has a mere one-week hosting job on the rather boring "Househunters" on HGTV. I've seen that show about four times and it always turns out the same. I'd like to see a couple not find the perfect bungalow for once and just decide to stay in their current house.
Here is Shannon Doherty at various events looking smug as usual. [via] She is shown with her former "Charmed" co-star, Holly Marie Combs.
Avril Lavigne must have had a tame bachelorette party because her fiance, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, attended too. They celebrated on June 30th in LA:
Speculation is rampant that Lavigne and Whibley will marry this weekend, with reports that they have already notified friends and family:
Friends and family of the pair were reportedly notified days ago of the plan and told to book their tickets immediately for Santa Barbara, where the Canadian rockers have a house together.
Earlier reports had suggested the wedding would take place Aug. 26, but media scrutiny apparently spurred the couple to move up the date.
This could definitely be true, because Lavigne was said to want a summer wedding, and to be planning for children right away.
It is uncertain whether Lavigne is already pregnant. We spotted a bump on the slender singer in several recent pictures, but in these photos from the end of June it doesn't seem to have grown enough to substantiate pregnancy rumors.

Mischa Barton's limo was too big to maneuver around some tight curves in London, so the the driver had the former "O.C." star get out and walk a little bit to get to the UK premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3." She was accompanied by British talk show hosts Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins of Channel 4's "Friday Night Project."
Collins said he loved Barton's foul mouth and had a great time with the 20 year-old actress:
Collins has now revealed she has a filthy mouth.
He told BANG Showbiz: "She has a wicked sense of humour. She's really cheeky.
"I was quite shocked to be honest because she looks all sweet and lovely but she would come out with certain things and I would just be stunned. "She's one hell of a girl. She's wicked and I love her."
Britain's Mirror also reports that Barton said she didn't "give a s*** where Paris is" when someone told her that she just missed Paris Hilton's visit to the UK. That's not surprising since the two have fought in the press before.
Here is Barton getting in her limo and at the "Pirates" premiere. Her dress is too short and the jeweled top and cap sleeves are just odd. Barton is seen with talk show host Justin Lee Collins and has not moved on from Cisco Adler to another shockingly unsuitable suitor.
I really enjoy reading these gossip rags now that I'm in the states for my vacation.
Here's one of my guilty pleasures, The National Enquirer. Reader Millie says it's one of the trashier rags, but maybe that's why I like it so much! I also totally believe a lot of what they write, and my guillibitiy is undoubtedly a big factor in my willingness to reprint most of the crap I read about celebrities.
Here's a recap of the pictures, below. They're spot on with most of them, except for Mimi. They use an old fat picture of Mariah Carey and say she's got one of the best beach bodies. Maybe she's better looking now, but they didn't even bother to photoshop it to make her look thinner. Also, Pierce Brosnan's wife might be heavy, but she's an attractive woman otherwise and it seems kind of cruel to use a picture from the back. Kudos to Brosnan for defending his wife and not trading her in for a younger model.

I'll be leaving the US next Tuesday and will be away from the computer for nearly a week I'm sorry to say. I'll make an official announcement and will do my best to fill in the gaps while I'm gone but things may be quiet around here if I don't find a guest writer. (If you'd like to write for the blog - please e-mail me at info [at] celebitchy.com. You don't need a lot of technical knowledge. It would help if you're familiar with Movable Type, although it's easy and I can teach you.) I'm going to the French countryside, but since I already live in Europe I can't get all pretentious about it.
Here are the pictures. I just photographed the magazine and realize they're not the best quality.
Lindsay's full of shit lately. Her boobs look like two basketballs stuffed under her skin, but she has attributed their strange shape and quick growth to natural causes. This latest quote is undoubtedly made up, because there's no source listed and it's worded like a typical Brit would phrase it, but it's not beneath us to repeat it or attribute it to her. She said something like this before, but it's impossible to google since all the keywords are kind of dirty:
Peering inside her vest she added: "I like having my breasts in there - naturally, I add! The papers said I had implants, then when I was really flat-chested they said I was anorexic and had had them taken out.
"Truth is I have got my boobs back because I've got healthier again and I'm so happy."
It's probably not true that she actually said that this time around unless someone changed the quote to sound British, but in an interview with The Mirror she did deny every trying cocaine, and credited her druggie dad for her abstinence:
Lohan also admits that she was too thin and wasn't eating right, and said she turned her health around by exercising. She says she parties a lot but that "it's nothing too decadent and probably not half as wild as what goes on at university fraternity parties." It's good that she's no longer in denial about her body at least.
Here she is in various beach shots this week.
Thanks to Hollywoods Best, Egotastic, and Mollygood for the photos. x17online also points out her freckled butt.
The Pirates of the Caribbean exhibit was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London today. The wax artists are quite skilled at male characters as Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp's waxworks look eerily close to the real thing. Keira Knightley's wax figure looks like a female impersonator, though. Maybe that's why they tried to hide her underneath some falling hair.
People are speculating that Keira Knightley's live-in relationship with fellow actor Rupert Friend won't last long. He complained about his girlfriend having to kiss her hot costars in "Pirates" and said that she's hardly ever home. Keira admitted to working too hard, and says that she needs to take time off, but not because of Rupert:
She added that she "definitely" had no plans to get married just yet. And when asked if she was going to take more time off to spend with Rupert, she replied: "I'm going to take time off because of myself mainly, not because of him. Let's see how things go there. I'm working on two new movies, that's what I'm concerned about now."
Not that Pride And Prejudice actor Rupert would call what she does "work". When we asked about Keira's performance in Pirates, he grunted: "It must have been a hard job kissing Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. I'm sure she hated every minute of it!" Then he moaned to us: "She hardly ever comes home to me."
It doesn't sound like Keira and Rupert are doing too well if they speak so poorly of each other to the press.
Here are the wax figures of Keira, Johnny and Orlando.
There were reports that Britney was planning a "Chaotic 2" to further pound her stardom into the ground, but that was yet another piece of fake news embellished by the British tabloids. They always put some bit of UK slang in there to give it away.
Perez Hilton called Britney's rep, who denied that Britney was dumb enough to make another "Chaotic". Plus Kevin would have to be around long enough to make the film.
Just like the rumor that Britney was going to give birth in Namibia, this originated with the satirical site "Postcards from the Pug Bus" and was picked up as real news, with fake quotes added for good measure, by the tabloids.
Here is K-Fed shopping for junk food on July 3rd. He looks awful. It was so much nicer to check out pictures of cutie Perry Taylor. [via] Oh - the gossip rags are reporting that Sean Preston was calling manny Perry "Da Da" and that's part of the reason why K-Fed had him canned.
People should dress to fit their body type and not try to deny that they're super-thin or carrying a few extra pounds. We call it a muffin top when chubby chicks try to wear tight jeans and short tops, and we need a suitable nickname for thin women showing off their concave chests. I was going to write something about Keira's "dead woman's chest," but figured that would be too cliche. Something about pancakes would be suitable, but it's not about flat chests as much as sunken sternums.
knightley wore a gold Gucci dress with a non-existent neckline to the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in London that highlighted her skeletal frame. She was absolutely shocked that people think she might be anorexic and said that oh, anorexia runs in her family but of course she doesn't have that problem:
She said she was surprised by any suggestion that she had an eating disorder.
"(The press) said to me yesterday `How does it feel to be called anorexic?' and I had no idea that I was," Knightley said. "I'm not saying there aren't people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are. But I'm quite sure I don't have it."
She handled the question well by saying that she's glad she helped stir up interest in the issue and that it's good that people are talking about it.
She's obviously in denial that she's so thin, and shouldn't be showing off her tiny body. Kate Bosworth must realize how she looks because she wore a tight but flattering dress to the "Superman Returns" premiere and didn't look like the stick that she is.
Knightley has tried to play off her thinness by saying that she doesn't diet or exercise and that she admires curves on women. She said in an interview with Elle magazine that she eats "bowls" of pasta and drinks plenty of wine:
Knightley went on to admire the curves of other actresses like Scarlett Johansson whose body is about a million miles away from Knightley’s slender frame and who she was photographed with nude for the front cover of Vanity Fair.
She added: "That kind of decadent flesh is absolutely beautiful. How sexy is that on a woman?"
"We had such a laugh. Scarlett's a sweetheart. I'm not completely comfortable with my body but I just thought, 'Fuck it'."
It is was true that Knightley is eating "bowls" of pasta it would show on her frame. It's also very telling that she says she's not comfortable with herself, and calls Johansson's hot body "decadent flesh." Johansson is fit with curves and is not chubby at all. If Knightley thought Johansson looked good she would call her hot or curvy but instead she uses a description that is more suited to a side of beef. She obviously has problems with normal-looking women and isn't going to gain weight until she faces reality.
Here are some candids of Knightley in London on 7/2, at a "Pirates of the Caribbean" photocall with Orlando Bloom and at the UK premiere on 7/3. [via]
It looks like Vanity Fair's strategy of denying stars the cover unless they dish lots of dirt has worked, because Hilary Swank blabs in an upcoming interview with the magazine that her ex, Chad Lowe, is an addict! She says he's been sober for three years, but that his battle with substance abuse caused a serious rift in the relationship that they couldn't repair.
"I knew something was happening but I didn't know what" Swank tells Vanity Fair in the August editions set to hit newsstands today.
"When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he'd keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid.
"He's sober now. I don't want to make it seem like that's the sole reason; there were other factors. But that just kind of blew it open. It made me look at things a lot deeper. That's when you realize it's not going to work."
Lowe, 38, and his managers could not be immediately reached for comment yesterday.
Although Lowe's struggle touched off their marriage's downhill slide, Swank said she's proud of her soon-to-be ex's three years of sobriety.
Vanity Fair does not detail the actor's substance of choice.
"It's an enormous obstacle to overcome, and he's doing it. He's living a sober life," said Swank, who married Lowe in 1997. "I know how difficult it is, and I'm really proud of his sobriety."
The actress says she had to stay with Lowe when his substance abuse came to light.
"When I found out, I wanted to be there," she explains. "I knew it was the most important time of his life. That's when he needed me most."
It sounds like once Chad beat whatever drugs he was on things were never the same between them and it was impossible to overcome.
This happened to a friend of mine who was with her husband for over ten years. He got addicted to Oxycontin for back pain and completely changed. He became uncommunicative and withdrawn. They had a big blowout and ended up getting divorced. He has a new girlfriend and is still addicted to painkillers.
For an actress with two Oscars Hilary Swank doesn't get a lot of attention in the press. This revelation will make people interested in her for a week or two. She's sporty, down to earth, and normal and people don't think that's particularly exciting. She should follow this up by going shopping on Rodeo Drive and having dinner at The Ivy with a hot new guy.
In the upcoming interview, Hilary addresses the problems between her high=profile Hollywood career and her soon-to-be ex-husband's lack of prospects, saying, "I think that any frustration for him stemmed from the lack of opportunities in his own career."
Swank, 32, says she's wary of the dating scene, "I thought of it - of that whole world - I can't imagine it! I can't imagine going out right now and trying to find someone else to be with."
Relationship guru John Gray recommends that men and women do the opposite of their natural instincts when trying to recover from a breakup. Women should start dating right away while men should take time to nurse their wounds instead of jumping into another relationship. Maybe Hilary should take a page from Charlie Sheen and start looking online.
Here is Hilary in new ads from Clavin Klein and at a party for the perfume giant Guerlain, which she also represents, on 6/14. [via]

Uma Thurman vacationed in St. Tropez with her boyfriend, hotelier André Balazs.
Hello! Magazine has the details:
Andre Balazs wraps a protective arm around his love of two years, Uma Thurman, on a break in Saint Tropez. The couple split in March but now look to be rekindling their relationship.
Uma's big boobs are probably real, because they're drooping convincingly.
Thurman has asked Hollywood not to write her off because she's getting older, and says that actors get better with age.

Thanks to yeeeah for alerting me to these pics.
David Beckham announced his resignation as England's captain after England lost their chances at the cup by losing to Portugal in penalty kick overtime 3-1 on Saturday.
"Our performance during this World Cup has not been enough to progress further, and both myself and all the players regret that, and I hurt... I hurt by that more than people realize"
Here is Beckham crying after his World Cup dreams were shattered:
And here he is announcing his resignation as World Cup captain:
Beckham is said to have made the decision after a heart-to-heart phone call with his wife, Victoria, who has supported him on the sidelines by losing even more weight and wearing skimpy outfits:
Posh, 32, and seven-year-old son Brooklyn both wept after seeing Becks limp off the pitch at Gelsenkirchen in tears.
She tried to console him in mobile phone calls as she was ferried from the stadium to the wives and girlfriends’ hotel in Baden-Baden.
Becks finally sat down in his hotel room to compose his resignation statement in the early hours of yesterday after he and Victoria agreed that he should resign.
An England insider said last night: “A lot of raw emotion poured out during their talks on the phone. It’s a decision Becks could never have made without Victoria — they made it together.
“He wanted to bow out as a World Cup winner but it just didn’t turn out that way and they agreed it was time to take a new direction together.
“It was a mature decision which will take the pressure off the whole family.” Beckham, 31, fought back tears and his voice cracked with emotion as he read out his handwritten speech.
In it, he said he had lived the dream and was “extremely proud” to have worn the captain’s armband.
Real Madrid star Becks was helped away by FA minders after reading out his 110-second statement.
Chelsea skipper John Terry is now set to become England’s new captain.
His first game in charge will be the friendly against Greece at Old Trafford on August 16.
Here are pictures of Victoria Beckham crying after England lost on Saturday. [via] she is also seen arriving at the soccer stadium on 6/20 and outside of a restaurant in Stahlbad. Germany on 6/14. There are also some pics of her at a game with Cheryl Tweedy on 6/15. [via]
Australian gossip rags are reporting that Nicole Kidman did invite her ex, Tom Cruise, to her wedding with Keith Urban last weekend. He didn't attend, but sent his regards. His two adopted children with Kidman did attend:
Oz tabloids claim to have seen copies of the invite, which would have followed the correct wedding/ex-partner etiquette if Cruise and Holmes were unavailable to attend.
While Cruise and Kidman's adopted children from their marriage, Isabelle and Connor, were both at last Sunday's ceremony, the Mission: Impossible star was nowhere to be seen, but a source told the Sunday Mirror that the actor sent his best wishes instead.
"Tom wished Nicole all the best and was pleased all the troubles between them were over. He also said how much he hoped she finds joy," a friend told the paper.
Earlier reports that Tom sent Nicole a picture of Suri for her 39th birthday with the message "a very nappy birthday" were false, and were undoubtedly made up in England, where most of the fake gossip originates and nappy is a common colloquialism for diaper. Nicole was also said to have wished "mother and baby well" after the birth of Suri, but that turned out to be made up, too. It could be true that Tom sent his regards after the wedding, but we'll probably never know.
Nicole and Keith are back in Nashville after departing their honeymoon in Tahiti on Saturday. They left at night to avoid photographers, and boarded a jetboat to a chartered flight, which took them to the Island nation's capital, where they caught a private jet home. Their honeymoon was probably not as peaceful as they were hoping, considering that Eva Longoria and Tony Parker crashed their resort.
Nicole is no longer on pregnancy watch after she was photographed looking super-fit in a bikini. Both she and Keith are headed back to work:
The celebrity couple are set to get straight back to work - Urban kicks off the first show of his tour in Ontario, Canada on July 13 and Kidman is due to start filming her next movie, The Lady From Shanghai.
Here are lower resolution pictures of Nicole and Keith on their honeymoon, and some higher resolution candids of them back in Nashville. [via]

Here are a bunch of pictures of 'Lil Kim at various events in honor of her early release from jail today. Thanks to Hollywood's Best for these photos.
Britney Spears claims the glowing happy pictures that came out in US Weekly of her posing with Kevin were, like, totally stolen. She's said to be "evaluating legal options" against the magazine. You know that Britney released the photos herself after her "Dateline" debacle, and is just saying that to make it seem like they're really stolen:
Her record label Jive said the photos were stolen and that Spears and husband Kevin Federline were "evaluating all of their legal options".
The statement said the photos were stolen by "an unknown perpetrator" and printed by Us Weekly magazine without the couple's "knowledge or consent".
We seriously doubt this is true because the pictures are all cute and seem to come at a time when she needs good publicity and wants to make it seem as if everything is fine in her marriage. It's also seems like too much of a coincidence when compared with the recently leaked Brangelina baby shower pics.
Reader Missy notes that Britney and Kevin may look happy and privileged in these pictures taken on a private jet, but that Kevin is suspiciously hiding his ring finger. Someone must have "forgotten" to wear their wedding ring.
You've undoubtedly heard about the Brangelina baby shower pics that were released to a few blogs and media outlets with the promise of 450 more. It turns out that Angelina's kissing brother, James Haven, took his camera to BestBuy in LA but forgot to remove the memory card. BestBuy outsourced the job to Precision Camera in Enfield, Connecticut, where two guys thought they hit the jackpot. They might have, if they would have been smart enough to take basic precautions like using a proxy server and an anonymous e-mail address. Instead they used an easily traceable account and the feds raided their place of employment and one of their homes to recover the pictures. They probably would have been caught anyway, but it might have taken a couple of extra days.
They dodged a legal bullet since it was determined they didn't do anything illegal:
“I work at Precision and hopefully I’ll still work there tomorrow,” said Beckwith, a stocky man in his early 20s with tribal tattoos on his shoulders and arms. “They questioned people at work.”
Pressed for more details, Beckwith said, “You’ll have to talk to Bill about that,” referring to Keyes. Westfield cops and Secret Service agents from Boston, working at the request of LAPD detectives and the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, raided Keyes’ home Tuesday night and recovered the images, which have been returned to Pitt and Jolie, sources said.
“We were looking for the memory stick from the camera. We got it. We got the pictures. We got everything,” a law enforcement source said.
Westfield police said the men violated no Massachusetts laws but may be charged in California, which has anti-paparazzi measures on the books.
What I want to know is why the secret service got involved in a stupid celebrity photo leak case. How much taypayer money did that cost?
The two guyswho leaked the pictures, Bill Keyes, 36, and Adam Beckwith, 20 something, may not be arrested or charged, but Brangelina's lawyers are out for blood and they're going to get them to pay. Hopefully they'll get some decent pro bono support and will be able to avoid being sued.
Here are the Brangelina baby shower pics.
J.Lo's first ex husband, Ojani Noa, is unable to publish a tell-all book about their relationship now that Lopez won a case against him publishing the book. He signed a confidentiality agreement with Lopez in late 2005 as part of his settlement payout for a breach of contract lawsuit against her. Noa claimed that Lopez had him unfairly fired from his manager position at her Pasadena restaurant, Madre's.
In April Noa told Lopez's attorneys that he'd put the book out unless she paid him a cool $5 million. Of course the diva wasn't having that and sued him in an attempt to block the book, which is said to have juicy details like J.Lo cheating on P.Diddy in 1999 with Marc Anthony. Unfortunately J.Lo was successful and we won't be able to get our hands on the novel, but one detail did come out: Noa claims Lopez does Santeria on her enemies to get back at them:
I believe this, because Lopez was said to have consulted a Santeria advisor at the time of her upcoming wedding to Ben Affleck. The voodoo guru told her to call it off:
Santeria fuses Roman Catholic beliefs with traditional West African religions. It's preserved by an oral tradition and rituals involve animal sacrifice, dancing, chanting and magic spells. Animals,usually chickens, are sacrificed to bring good luck and forgiveness of sins, and to please the saints.
That's pretty funny and we hope more dirt gets released on Lopez even though the book was blocked. If she's gullible enough to believe in voodoo, maybe Lea Remini will successfully convert her to Scientology.
Here she is in the videoshoot for "I'm gonna be alright," which was released in 2002. [via]
Naomi Watts, 37, is now on pregnancy watch, and it's largely due to the loose tops and ill-fitting dresses she's worn out to recent events. She's been on pregnancy watch since wearing two different frilly dresses with tummy coverage to the Oscars. We were even declaring her pregnant after she wore a poncho to the Tribeca film festival in late April.
Then we saw some high-res photos of Naomi in a sheer, but loose top in mid-May. You could see her stomach through it and it was flat.
Watts may just be wearing loose tops because they're in style. Reese Witherspoon was called pregnant after she was seen in some loose clothing and it turns out that wasn't true at all.
Watts has made some comments that she'd like to start a family, though, and Australian reports have her pregnant already:
The actress was in Sydney, Australia, last weekend attending best pal Nicole Kidman's wedding to country star Keith Urban.
Rumours circulated after the stylish star was seen wearing a series of baggy garments and photographed leaving a Brentwood, California, fertility clinic.
Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper reports it was the second time Watts had been spotted visiting the clinic and that she was "sporting a definite glow" when she attended the Shakespeare in the Park gala in New York City's Central Park with beau Liev Schreiber on Thursday.
Watts was also seen visiting Chinese herbalist and fertility expert Lily Liu in Australia, who is renowned for her work assisting women who want to become pregnant.
The star recently admitted she was desperate for children, but was worried it might be too late to conceive: "I wish it could have happened a little bit sooner. I have wanted a family since I was 19."
If she is pregnant it's very soon along. She was photographed playing tennis on June 18th. Her top was pulling up and she did not have a stomach, although it's a little hard to tell. She was seen at the MacBeth In The Park 2006 Summer Benefit on June 28th in an empire-waist dress, which surely helped feed the rumors.
We really doubt it's true, although we hope it happens soon for her and Liev if they are indeed trying.
Here is Naomi in the photos we mentioned. She is seen with her boyfriend of over a year, actor Liev Schreiber, 38, and with Jessica Lang. Reader Millie let me know that Lang was not gracious about the latest remake of "King Kong" after having starred in the other remake from 1976. She said she wouldn't be seeing Peter Jackson's version of "King Kong" and considered it too commercial.

Kate Bosworth, 23, has a starring role in "Superman Returns," but she still seems to be uncertain about her star status. She says she was waiting to be replaced as Lois Lane, and that it's easy to be insecure in Hollywood.
She got the role of Lois Lane in "Superman Returns" on the recommendation of Kevin Spacey, who directed her in "Beyond the Sea." Director Bryan Singer saw a screening of the film and asked Spacey how she was to work with. Spacey had nothing but praise for the young actress, and Singer cast her in the role of Lane shortly afterwards. Bosworth was insecure about the big production, though, and was waiting for the axe to drop well into her work on the film:
"Up until I had two months in the can, I was waiting to be replaced," she insists. (Bosworth wasn't necessarily Singer's one and only choice. The director also reportedly considered Claire Danes, Keri Russell and Lost's Evangeline Lilly.)
Bosworth started her career in a role of a friend of the young girl in "The Horse Whisperer" at the age of 14. She was an accomplished rider and went to the audition on a lark. She had her big break in the surfing film "Blue Crush" in 2002 and went on to play in "Wonderland" and "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton."
She says she's turned down roles that required nudity, but she leaves the option open by saying that she's not sure how she'll feel about it in a few years.
Now that Bosworth is in a blockbuster film, the buzz is that she's about to hit it big in Hollywood.
She doesn't see the lack of privacy and stalkerazzi as a problem yet, and is more concerned about her status in Hollywood:
"It is not so much that, I think — it's you're hot one second and cold another. It is a business where insecurities can be generated really easily. To make connections with people who are on your side, it begins to feel more like you are part of the community."
Bosworth says she's not engaged to Orlando Bloom and won't elaborate other than to say she's "very happy."
She was recently voted the sexiest Lois Lane over Teri Hatcher and Erica Durance.
One of Kate's eyes is half hazel and half blue, and she has been asked to wear contact lenses to hide it in every movie she's appeared in - except for "Superman Returns." Director Bryan Singer liked Kate's eyes the way they were and now the Lois Lane dolls have eyes that are two colors, just like the actress.
"Superman Returns" is doing well at the box office, with $21 million on its first opening day.
Here is Kate shopping at Gucci in NY on 6/27. I don't like her smock dress with the black belt and think she looks like one of the women who works at the cosmetics counter at a department store. Otherwise she's gorgeous. [via]
Coco Cox pulled her mom's top down while they were swimming. Courtney seems to think it's funny, and these pictures are pretty cute. My husband appreciated them too.
Jennifer Aniston sent Courteney Cox a bizarre present for her 42nd birthday on June 15th - a transexual performer that looked like her character Rachel Green from "Friends":
So - as described above Aniston thought up a gift to surprise Cox Arquette on her big day.
Aniston reportedly said, "I made it up to her by sending a tranny impersonator of Rachel. He can cheer anyone up."
Too bad there aren't any pictures of the tranny with Courteney. That would have been much better than Tori Spelling and her tranny inpersonator.
Courteney has a great beach body and hasn't succumbed to the super-thin look of some celebrity mothers. There's a picture of her power walking with weights in the latest Us Weekly.

Charlize Theron was given the "Spirit of Independence" award at the LA film festival yesterday. Theron says that it's a misconception that you're typecast once you do indie films and can't make the transition to blockbuster movies. That's probably true if you're a statuesque blonde with great talent, but not if you're a short fat character actor:
"What we love about her is she's made interesting choices," Dawn Hudson of Film Independent, the non-profit body behind the annual festival...
Her next role is as a heroin-addicted single mother in The Ice at the Bottom of the World, to be directed by British film-maker Sir Alan Parker.
"I think the biggest misconception about independent film-making is that if you do those movies you'll always be thought of as that kind of actor," Theron said.
"It's not true. If anything, I hope to have that kind of career, where you can go back and forth and do different things."
With an academy award and a new serious role in the works, Theron doesn't have to worry much about her career.
The Spirit of Independence Awards were presented by Virginia Madsen and Jimmy Smits and also honored directors Steve Collins and Amy Berg.
Here is Charlize at the Spirit of Independence awards with the Target dog, and her boyfriend, actor Stuart Townsend. Her left hand is not visible in these pictures, so we can't see if she's wearing that wedding ring again.
Nicole Richie was supposedly back with DJ AM for the third time, and was seen getting lunch with him at In-and-Out burger on June 20th. It's hard to keep up, though. Us Weekly says:
Richie is playing the delicate game of trying to stay fuck-buddies with her ex to minimize the breakup pain, but keeping her options open. She was spotted with unlikely beau Matt Dillion at Hollywood hotspot Chateau Marmot last week:
Even if Dillion only spent five minutes with Richie, that's plenty of time for a meaningful relationship to develop. Both Busta Rhymes and Kevin Smith's pal Jason Mewes claim to have had quickies with the tiny socialite.
Richie and Dillon make an unlikely couple, but Dillon seems like a good guy who's mature enough to commit at least. Maybe something will come of it.
Dillon will next star in the comedy "You, Me and Dupree" as Kate Hudson's husband. Owen Wilson plays an unwelcome houseguest.
Here is Richie at the opening of Club Social Hollywood on 6/27. Matt Dillon is shown with director Brett Ratner at a party for the president of the Dominican Republic on 6/23, and at the Dolce & Gabbana party where he hooked up with Nicole Richie on 6/22. He is also seen with his brother, Kevin, at the "Entourage" Season Three New York Premiere after party on 6/7. Only the first picture of Richie is high resolution.

Mena Suvari is content to wear the really tight pants in her relationship and is pumping gas while her younger boyfriend, breakdancer Mike Carrasco, looks on. Carrasco hails from Las Vegas, is four years younger than Suvari, 27, and met her in February of this year. Suvari is divorcing German cinematographer Robert Brinkman, 44, after six years of marriage.

I usually ignore this chick Jodie Marsh, because she's just some British slut who is only famous because she wears outfits like these. I always confuse her with Jordan, but she's two steps down from Jordan. It's hard to pass up these photos, though. She would look over the top at a porn convention, but she was attending the charity premiere of "Just My Luck" in London in this getup.
Marsh is also shown with the band McFly, which has a single out joking about Lohan's affair McFly's drummer Harry Judd, making it rather funny that they're at the opening of Lohan's crappy movie. Lohan says she never got with Judd, but Judd says she must have a short memory.
I showed these pictures to my dad. (I'm visiting my family in the states.) He thinks she's desperate and said "how would you like to pet those puppies?"
Sorry for all the semi-nude female celebrities today. I'm in a hurry and am filling up on pictures rather than leave you with fewer posts brimming with my bad insight.
Teri Hatcher doesn't have delusions of grandeur like Eva Longwhoria. She says that "Desperate Housewives" is her "dream job" and that she isn't trying to make the move to the big screen:
She says, "Apparently there was a rumor going around about me wanting to leave 'Desperate Housewives' to do movies. It's not true. I had to laugh because 'Desperate Housewives' is my dream job. I couldn't have a better-suited role for me to play.
"I work with people I like and respect. I have a seven-minute commute. I have plenty of time to spend with my daughter. And it's as steady a job as Hollywood can offer. Why would I mess with any of that?"
It's pretty smart of her to realize where her bread and butter come from.
She looks like she ditching the anorexic look that is so last season and has gained a few essential pounds. It's hip to be fat now, and stars like Victoria Beckham are in denial.

Paris Hilton went along with a dumb radio prank iniated by some British DJs. They called up a Glasgow Hilton and had her ask for a family discount:
The prank was aired on the Real Radio Breakfast Show this morning.
During the call, Paris was asked by reservations clerk Kevin whether she had a corporate rate at the hotel.
She was offered a standard queen room for £170 but asked if she could have a discount.
The sexy star was told by the employee: "There is no discount I can initiate, I’m afraid."
When she said: "Yes you can", he replied: "That is the cheapest rate I have available to me."
Paris then informed the clerk that she will get her manager to call back.
That's stupid, but it isn't as rude as some of the other crap that radio DJs pull on air. It seems rather harmless.
It does bring up the mind-boggling issue of celebrities thinking they can get stuff heavily discounted and for free. Since when did making lots of money just for showing up entitle celebrities to get things free too? Of course they are great billboards, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have to pay for stuff like the rest of us.
Here is Paris arriving at Radio One for her interview on 6/26. When are those terrible bug-eyed sunglasses going to out of fashion? [
Charlize Theron wore what looked like an engagement and a wedding ring on her left hand to the grand opening of club Social Hollywood last night, June 27. She was accompanied by her boyfriend, Irish actor Stuart Townsend. We spotted an engagement ring on Theron's left hand in late April when she was photographed attending a basketball game with Townsend. There was a rumor shortly afterward that they were planning a secret wedding in Savannah, GA, but nothing seems to have come of that.
There's no ring on Townsend's left hand, but this still looks suspicious. Whatever the story, Theron is trying to tell us something. Celebrities don't just wear rings on their left ring finger to openings without having an ulterior motive.
This is kind of an exclusive, because as far as we know we're the first blog to cry wolf about Theron's rings.

I bought The National Enquirer partially due to the headline "Nicole's Miscarriage Secret: The heartbreak behind her wedding." The headline makes it seem as if Nicole was pregnant, as everyone has been speculating, but lost the baby right before her wedding to Keith Urban - just like Brenda on "Six Feet Under." This wasn't the case at all.
All the Enquirer did was recycle the old story of Nicole's miscarriages during her marriage to half-pint Tom Cruise and present it as some big exclusive that caused her pain during her nuptuals. This is a cheap trick to sell papers, and it worked:
The Oscar-winning actress is now terrified that she won't be able to bear a child for new husband Keith, say sources.
"Nicole must be haunted by the miscarriage she suffered after first husband Tom Cruise walked out on her," a source revealed.
"She also apparently suffered an ectopic pregnancy in the past and has dealt with a series of medical issues.
I think losing two pregnancies weighs heavily on Nicole's mind. And now that she's almost 40, her chances of carrying a child to term are less then they were when she was younger."
How is that news? We already knew Nicole had a miscarriage, and someone speculating that it bothers her does not make the story an exclusive. It's also deceptive of the Enquirer to market it this way.
It may be a new revelation that Nicole had a second miscarriage, though. The "insider" says she had the ectopic pregnancy right before she married Tom in 1990.
That's sad for Nicole, but it's ancient history. Nicole is supposedly worried if she can carry a baby now, but who knows if that's true. She may or may not be pregnant, and we'll just have to wait it out and see.
The Enquirer did have one redeeming feature in the deceptive article - an inset featuring Nicole's men throughout the years. Did you know she dated rapper Q-tip? I didn't.
Here is a picture of the article as well as some high res pictures of Nicole and Keith in the lobby of their hotel the day after their wedding. They are carrying a present for Keith's father, as it was his birthday. The happy couple is now honeymooning in Tahiti. [via]
This week's National Enquirer has Jen and Vince "on the rocks" and fighting over the fake engagement ring Jen wore to the London premiere of "The Break Up." She had it on her left hand, and gushed about the ring's details to the press. Vince got pissed off and Jen put the ring on her right hand to appease him. Jen and Vince stayed away from each other all night, and a source says they were both in a bad mood and looked sad. We've heard this story before.
When British journalist Leigh Purves asked Vince if he and Jennifer planned to marry, he barked: "Talk to our people."
Said Purved: "I'd noticed Jennifer was wearing a ring on her wedding finder. I asked her about it and, looking very coy, she told me: 'It's a 9.5-carat canary diamond ring by Suzy Fabricant. Nice, isn't it?'
"I told her it was gorgeous, but before Jennifer could say anymore I noticed Vince moving in with a face like thunder."
Witnesses say Vince, 36, took 37 year-old Jennifer by the arm and marched her off into a corner.
"Vince gave Jennifer a real tongue-lashing. I overheard him using the words 'cheap' and trick,'" a source told the Enquirer. "Vince was talking in loud whispers. He kept repearing , 'Don't, Don't.'
"Jennifer looked hurt. She pulled the ring off and slipped it on her right hand."
At the premiere after party, they sat separately and left separately. They even had different suites in their hotel. From her quotes, she doesn't sound happy about their relationship:
It sounds like she doesn't care if the cherry is there or not, and as if she's trying to justify their stormy relationship.
US Weekly claims to have "The Truth about Jen & Vince" and refutes the rumors that she's engaged and/or pregnant while making it seem like their relationship is fine. They use the one picture of them having dinner together in France and say that she's moving to Chicago as proof of their solid relationship. They quote a source saying "Both of them are so happy, They are an amazing couple."
We doubt that everything is fine, because neither of them seems happy or is willing to admit much about the other to the press. They've been together for two years. Isn't that long enough to go public with their relationship?
Here are pictures we took of the stories in question. Hopefully they're legible. There are also two pictures of Jen leaving "The Break Up" after party in London on 6/14. [via]
Britney was set to do a pregnant semi-nude Harper's Bazaar spread just like Demi Moore, but she pulled it. Someone sent the airbrushed pictures to BritneySpy.com, and now they're all over. Why did Britney pull the pictures? She probably was advised against it by her "christian life coach," who is also said to be behind Britney and Kevin's recent reconciliation.
Now that I'm in the states I have the mixed blessing of being able to read the tabloids, and will report on Us Weekly's glowing coverage of Kevin and Britney's reunion shortly.
In the mean time, here are Britney's Harper's Bazaar photos. They're trashy, but that's just how she comes off anyway. Add a shag rug and pose her nude and you just magnify that quality. Also, Sean Preston is cute and all, but doesn't he have any other expression? He always seems to look the same. Maybe that's how he copes.
Thanks to Just Jared for these photos.
Brad Pitt's reveals that he's an adoring father in an upcoming Newsweek interview. He also makes it clear that he and Angelina plan to adopt again:
He told Newsweek magazine being a father had made him more of an activist on issues such as child poverty.
"Whether you have them or adopt them, they're all blood," Pitt said of his brood. "And the funniest people I've ever met."
The 42-year-old added: "I look at Zahara and imagine what her life could have been.
"You want to grab as many of these kids in your arms as you can.
"They need our help, and we should be doing more."
He sounds a lot like Angelina, and he should credit her with his activism, but at least she was a good influence on him. He would be probably be bitching about the rabbits in his front yard if he was still with Aniston.
Here are pictures of Pitt's lovely modernist home from the July, 2006 issue of Elle Decoration courtesy of Just Jared. His interest in saving the world may be due to Angelina, but his love of architecture is entirely his own, and the man has excellent taste.
You may have seen these pictures already, but they're just so cute we couldn't resist publishing them. Here are Gwen Stefan and her husband Gavin Rossdale out with their newborn, Kingston. Stefani and Kingston are seen watching Rossdale play tennis on 6/17 and out walking on 6/24.
Gwen Stefani is going to star in a remake of Tennessee Williams' "Baby Doll," which was originally released as a film in 1956:
According to Moviehole.net, the movie is about a beautiful young woman who promises her husband, who is an unsuccessful businessman, that their marriage will be consummated a year after their wedding.
The woman's husband, who wants badly to make love to her and launch his business into success, decides to set his enemy's plant on fire.
After his enemy's plant is nothing but ashes leftover from the blazing fire, the enemy has no choice but to use the gorgeous woman's husband's plant for cotton production, but things begin to go all wrong once he's introduced to 'Baby Doll'.
Stefani seems like a good choice to play a vampy retro character, and it's sure to be a juicy role.
Here is the cute family on 6/17 and 6/24.
Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams were snapped at "Bubby's" restaurant in Tribeca last week. Ledger said he wanted some time off from filming to be a stay at home dad to eight month-old Matilda. It looks like he has been enjoying his role by not bothering to shave or bathe.
Ledger and Williams are scheduled to begin working on the weird "I'm Not There" Bob Dylan biopic this summer. The film will feature different actors and actresses playing the singer throughout his life. Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Julianne Moore and Richard Gere will join them in the film.
Reader Phyllis of HeathHeathens.com was not happy with our characterization of Ledger as a crybaby after his father revealed that he hightailed it out of Australia when the paparrazi squirted him with water on the red carpet. Ledger was composed at the time, but was said to have broken down and cried afterwards and asked his father to sell his Australian home. It turns out that Ledger was harassed by the paparrazi beyond what is allowable in the states, and that photographers delighted in tormenting him. People were camped out in his backyard and held a press conference on his front lawn. Phyllis says that Ledger probably never spat at the paparrazi as reported, and that he moved out of Australia after months of enduring constant monitoring. She says that "Heath is a very gentle and private person. He doesn't have an ego."
Heath always came off as aloof and cool to me, but maybe that's a defense mechanism. I finally saw "Brokeback Mountain" and have to say that he's a superb actor, and that it was one of the best films I've ever seen. Like Heath, I cried like a baby at the end.
Here are Heath and Michelle looking cute and cuddly at lunch. [via]
Britney is planning to sue 8 different tabloids for reporting that her marriage is in trouble, but she's not going to do it from the states, where celebrities are considered public personalities and are fair game by law - she's filed suit in Ireland, where her chances of winning are much higher:
Spears is to sue the National Enquirer, based in Florida, for reports that her marriage to Kevin Federline was at an end. She is also suing seven other US and British publications that repeated the claims.
Foreign claimants have long been attracted to London because of the strict libel laws, but Belfast offers the prospect of high payouts, faster justice and lower costs.
Paul Tweed, senior partner at Johnson’s solicitors, who has been instructed by Spears, said he was also being consulted by Houston, Paula Abdul, the singer, and Steve Bing, film producer and father of Liz Hurley’s son Damian...
One law firm, which represents American celebrities suing in London, said: “They come to the UK because it is a good place to sue. In the US there is a public figure defence which means that if you have celebrity status you can’t sue anybody in America unless you can show that they acted from malice.”
Paul Tweed, senior partner at Johnson’s solicitors, who has been instructed by Spears, said he was also being consulted by Houston, Paula Abdul, the singer, and Steve Bing, film producer and father of Liz Hurley’s son Damian.
Belfast has similar libel laws to England, but waiting lists are shorter and the costs can be 75% lower. Many cases go to juries, which make higher awards. In one Belfast case Barney Eastwood, the boxing promoter, received an award of £450,000, the highest in Irish legal history.
If an American publication does not have assets in Britain, Tweed sues distributors and website hosts. He is currently taking action against Yahoo!
It doesn't seem fair that celebrities can just file suit from England or Ireland in order to get around US libel laws, but major corporations avoid paying taxes by incorporating overseas. Exploiting tax and legal loopholes is just one of the ways that people hold onto their undeserved millions.
Here is Britney with Sean Preston and her mom and sister outside of Nobu. K-Fed was there, too, but is not pictured. There was supposedly a paparrazi fight as photographers jockied for pictures of the pregnant star. TMZ has a video of it, with people saying "back off" and swearing, but it doesn't seem as exciting as they make it out to be. We were hoping for some punches and hair-pulling.

Predictably enough, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's legal team have sent out notices to several blogs to pull the baby shower pictures that capture their clients in private moments. The digital card with the photos was stolen, they say. They never sent notice to us, but TMZ is a higher-profile site and was threatened with a lawsuit:
This letter is to provide you with notice that the Stolen Photos are copyright protected, to which my clients own right and title thereto. Any unauthorized publication, reproduction or dissemination of the Stolen Photos constitutes an infringement of my clients' copyrights in violation of the U.S. Copyright Act, Title 17 of the United States Code Section 101, et seq., and exposes you, and anyone else acting in concert with you, to civil liability, damages, injunctive relief and reimbursement of all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by my clients in connection with any copyright infringement action. Furthermore, if any monies are paid for the purchase of the Stolen Photos, you will be engaged in the purchase of stolen property.
In addition, under the circumstances that the Stolen Photos were taken, namely, at private and personal events on private property, my clients had a reasonable expectation of enjoying total privacy. The publication of the photos would therefore constitute a unlawful invasion and violation of my clients' right of privacy and would also be an unauthorized commercial appropriation of their names, likenesses and personas.
Anyone who publishes, disseminates, displays or otherwise exploits the Stolen Photos will be liable for substantial compensatory damages, punitive damages, and injunctive relief. If you publish or disseminate and of the Stolen Photos, our clients will take further legal action to protect their rights, including by the filing of a lawsuit seeking compensatory and punitive damages, statutory damages for copyright violations, and attorneys' fees.
We'll take 'em down shortly, but as much as people like Angelina and Brad - they're too heavy handed with legal and security tactics. This is the cost of fame. If you don't like it, then don't try to fight it with all your might and just stop making movies. You could be gracious about it and play it up for what it's worth, but no, you have to fight every picture tooth and nail.
I understand not wanting someone to publish all 450 pictures, but making a huge fuss and threatening bloggers for publishing three of the pictures is ridiculous.
It's like the music industry acting all indignant that people are copying digital music. It's the nature of the medium, and that's how these things work. Digital files spread - get over it, and use it to your advantage.
Angelina decided to close down an entire country to give birth. What gives her that right? Namibia's National Society for Human Rights claims that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are acting like "Colonial Overlords" and that they have no right to use an entire government to shield themselves from the paparrazi. The NSHR said "To shut down a national border so she can give birth in peace is a massive abuse of power."
To shut down a bunch of websites so people can't see your cute baby shower pictures is also a massive abuse of power. It's not on the same scale, but they're abusive. Fans made them popular and fans pay for their luxurious lifestyle. Just because they do some charity work doesn't mean that they don't have to play the game.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2 premiered at Disneyland in Anaheim, California on June 24th. The film draws inspiration from the ride of the same name at the Disney theme parks. Pissed off fans and press waited nearly 6 hours at Disneyland for a chance to see the stars, who were gone all too quickly:
But by 7:30, the fans out on the carpet were getting hungry and hoarse, children began whimpering and even the seasoned press was turning surly.
“We’ve been standing here 5 hours and we’ve not seen a single lead actor from the film,” groused a KTLA reporter. “This is insane. Why would they make us stand out here this long?” Even a befuddled German reporter asked, “Is this normal?..."
At 8:15 p.m., frenzied screaming came from the carpet entrance. Down the line, cameramen on step ladders reported seeing Depp, Knightley and Bloom’s heads. The actors are posing for photos, zig-zagging down the carpet, talking to TV crews, then running over to shake hands and sign autographs for fans. That’s why it’s taking so long.
But it's getting late, almost 9 p.m., and the very real fear is that the film's stars will be yanked away by publicists and taken into the party so the film can begin...
Desperate reporters, sensing doom, start to break ranks. Mutinuous USA Today, People and Us Weekly scribes climb over the metal bars and run down the carpet to try to talk to Depp, who is surrounded by Disney pubs, his personal pub, Robin Baum, and roughly two dozen black-suited security guards, wearing headsets.
”If you have movie tickets, go in and take your seats,” warns a stern guard. We’re taking him in. The movie has to start!”
The carpet has become a mob scene. Guards are getting nervous. Reporters are pleading with publicists. Cameras keep flashing. Fans are screaming, "Joooohnnnyyy!" Suddenly the situation implodes as the guards surround Depp and rush their celebrity charge down the carpet.
Reporters and cameramen have to run ahead of the Depp Delta Force, as if trying to outrun a molten lava flow. “Keep moving! Keep moving! Keep moving!,” the guards shout.
Just a few frenzied minutes later and it’s all over. Depp is gone. After waiting for six hours, disgruntled reporters pack up and leave. And countless disappointed fans only got a split-second glimpse of Depp’s fedora.
That's annoying that people were made to wait so long. Disneyland didn't plan it correctly and should not have told people to show up so early.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" opens on July 7th.
Here are pictures from the premiere of Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp, and Orlando Bloom. I really like Keira's dress and think it's a good choice for the premiere of this semi-spooky film. Also shown are Christina Applegate, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Stacy Keibler, Daisy Fuentes and the Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger. [via]
A lot of the crap that happens on movie sets would be a fireable, sueable offense in any office anywhere. Celebrities tell stories about their co-stars messing around and sexually harassing them during filming, and although they try to play it off, they're saying these things because they want people to know what they went through.
Case in point: Anne Hathaway. She was totally harassed by Stanley Tucci on the set of "The Devil Wears Prada." She says Tucci elbowed her in the chest repeatedly and she had to tell him to stop. The asshole didn't just do it once, he did it again and again and it was painful and probably embarassing to her:
The 'Devil Wears Prada' actress revealed her cheeky colleague would repeatedly elbow her in the chest to demonstrate his fondness of her assets.
She said: "He would just smack me in my boob and elbow me.
"It really hurt, so, after about the fourth time, I finally said, 'Stanley, can you please stay away from my t**s?'"
However, the curvaceous brunette insists Tucci wasn't deterred by her request.
She added: "He got really flustered and said, 'What do you expect? You're flinging those melons around like its harvest season'."
What an asshole! I would kill the guy - after I sued him for sexual harassment. I'm serious, there's no way I would tolerate being treated like that by a coworker.
There shouldn't be different rules for performers and office workers - when you're on the job, you're not supposed to grab people. Tucci should know better.
Sure some of the sexual harassment guidelines are a bit strict, and some people like to talk smack, but sexual jokes and comments - if they're not directed at someone or threatening - are much different than elbowing someone in the chest and telling them they're "flinging their melons" around.
Stanley Tucci does not have a fabulous career, and he does not deserve one if this is how he treats women.
Another actor who probably deserves his career slump is Ben Affleck. Director Kevin Smith said Affleck engaged in the bizarre practice of sneaking up behind him while he was sitting and putting his balls on Smith's bare neck while they were working. Christina Applegate also said that Ben put his "junk" on a suitcase during filming for "Surviving Christmas." Maybe now that he's a father he'll keep his "junk" in his pants where it belongs.
Here is Hathaway outside Nobu restaurant on 6/12 with her boyfriend, real estate developer Raffaello Follieri. She is also seen in InStyle Magazine, and in one candid at "The Devil Wears Prada" after party on 6/19.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were married in a candlelit Catholic ceremony in Sydney on Sunday:
Guests at the black-tie event included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts and Rupert Murdoch.
Kidman's wedding party consisted of her sister Antonia, who was her maid of honor, and daughter Isabella, 13, who was her bridesmaid. Antonia's daughter, Lucia, was a flower girl. On the groom's side were Urban's brother Shane, who served as best man, and longtime buddy Marlon Holden, who produced Urban's first solo album in 1991.
Kidman wore a dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga. Her father, Antony, walked her down the aisle under the dramatic glow of a spotlight. She kept her veil on throughout the ceremony, only lifting it when it came time to say the (very traditional) vows.
Nicole cried all the way to the church in the car and then she cried all during the ceremony and had to wipe her eyes under the veil," a guest tells PEOPLE. "It was the most emotional and beautiful ceremony. Nicole looked ethereal with her veil floating, like a vision in white. ... Keith cried when he looked at her.
"It was so intense," the guest says. "When her veil was lifted, he moved right in and he grabbed her and kissed her. It was a long, passionate kiss. (Then) everything went from being quiet and elegant and intense to really loud, like we were suddenly at a soccer game. There was screaming and hollering and such excitement.
"But when Nicole and Keith looked at each other it was like they were the only two people in the room. They are so deeply in love. It was the most incredible wedding."
In lieu of gifts, guests were asked to donate to the Sydney Children's Hospital.
Both Jackman and Crowded House's Neil Finn performed at the reception, which had a "passion" theme and red color scheme – including red carnations hanging from huge chandeliers and red roses on the tables.
Either the rumors were untrue or Keith decided at the last minute not to perform at the reception, because it was said that he was planning to serenade Nicole.
It sounds lovely and quite romantic. Best wishes to Keith and Nicole.
Here are pictures from the wedding, including a high-res version of the official wedding photo and one high-res of Nicole in the car outside the wedding [via]. The other wedding photos are medium-sized. The other high-res photos are of Nicole on the day before the wedding outside her parents' house.
Thanks to Millie for pointing out the other two pictures leaked from Angelina Jolie's baby shower. [via] People are saying that it's crappy of one of their friends to shop the pictures around, but that it's likely that they're stolen. One commentor on DListed notes that there's a rumor that one of Brad's bodyguards is behind it.
The photo of Angelina and Zahara on the beach is lovely, and it's nice to see Brad and Angelina laughing and looking like they're having a good time.
We'll have to wait and see where these photos turn up and who gets threatened with a lawsuit. It's sure to be big news come Monday.
Celebirty Baby Blog had this picture that's supposedly from Angelina Jolie's baby shower showing the heavily pregnant actress wearing a feather boa and joking around with Brad:
