Hello Ladies!
Rumour has it that Harper's Bazaar has landed the first interview with Janet Jackson since the death of her big brother Michael….will keep you posted..
KEANU SUBMITS HIS DNA FOR TESTING
Since the story broke back in March, we haven't heard much about that Canadian woman Karen Sala who is convinced Keanu is the father of at least three of her four teenage children - and was after $150,000 a month in child support retroactive to June 1988 and wait for it $3million a month in spousal support retroactive to November 2006…..even though Keanu still claims he's never met her, but wants to shut the door on the crazy once and for all! I thought she'd gotten lost in her own little matrix! Keanu's lawyer Lorne Wolfson, has confirmed the DNA submission to the Toronto Sun. "There will be a DNA test done within the next while," he said. When she found out he had agreed to submitting his DNA - Karen Sala said of her claim, "This is not about revenge or an attack on his good character," she said outside the courthouse on Monday. "It's about closure and getting some peace. This is a personal journey." If they really haven't before, the action star and the attention seeker will meet in court on the 16th of October. And I'm sure there's plenty out there willing to assist him in clearing his name - for the sake of justice of course!
PARTY AT GREY'S
For the next few weeks, there will be a paaaaarty every single day on the set of Grey's Anatomy, because Katherine Heeeeeeeigl's annoying ass won't be there. EW has confirmed that the producers of Grey's have allowed Katherine to take a 5-episode hiatus to go shoot a movie called Life As We Know It with Fergie's other half - Josh Duhamel. Heeeeigl, who recently bitched about working 17-hour days on Grey's (which as we know was to accommodate HER promo commitments for Ugly Truth), will start her leave of absence later this month. Ellen Pompeo (really just can't stand her….for no apparent reason) is also going to be away at the same time on maternity leave. (SPOILER ALERT) Word is that Katherine's character Izzie will get fired when Seattle Grace merges with another hospital and they are forced to downsize. Hopefully, the producers of Grey's realize it's just paradise without her and change the locks and burn her trailer to the ground in her absence. Better yet, they just have to declare the entire set a "No Smoking or Bitch Free Zone" and she'll never come back!
SALMA HAYEK HAS A THROW DOWN
So, Salma Hayek, went to the Chateau Marmont in LA on Wednesday night with a bunch of friends, without a reservation, and the restaurant's hostess told her she didn't have a table for her! Apparently, she spat the dummy and a torrent of Spanish abuse came pouring out of Salma's mouth. The hostess tried to calm Salma down by telling her she could have the next available table, but that still didn't stop her. Even Salma's friends tried to shut her up and she cooled down a bit and started bitching in English. Salma only stopped when the hostess finally seated them. Salma, that's why you stop at McDonald's for an appetizer before you get to the restaurant! And as much as I have loved Salma for years, there's been a lot of stories of her getting her bitch on especially on the set of Ugly Betty, and my theory is, you judge them on how they treat the civilians. Waaaay over the top considering they only go to the Chateau when they want to be seen - and it's always packed, so to rock up without a reservation and expect to be seated immediately is a bit rich. Wonder what she was saying in Spanish - could it have been ye old faithful…."Don't you know who I am?" Would love to see Salma's BitchFace in person. I bet Salma's BitchFace could turn you to salt.
ROCCO'S TURN TO DANCE WITH MADGE
Wednesday his big sister had the spotlight. Yesterday it was Rocco's turn to take to the stage in Tel Aviv to bust a few moves and dance next to the DJ. It was the final show of the Sticky & Sweet Tour. Madonna has been in high spirits the whole week in Israel, close to her Kab connections and the convention as well as meetings & dinners with high level politicians, she's feeling important and welcome so she's letting her kids in on the celebrations as well.

BRITNEY IN MIAMI
Haven't posted much on Brit in a while given she's done nothing more interesting than her concert and daily bikini appearances. So Brit and her little sister Jamie Lynn are still swanning by the pool in a bikini - this time in Miami. Brit's kids got to play with their little cousin Maddie. Next up, Britney's Circus tour moves on over to the Midwest and then down back to Texas, so we may not be seeing quite as much bikini lounging for a week or so. And as always, she's still working working working - doing promotion on the side for her latest fragrance release "Circus" which is out later this month.
IS K-MART'S VERSION OF BOND BEING A BIT OF A GIRL?
As we know….Daniel Craig and OUR Huge Jackman are prepping for their play A Steady Rain for Broadway for the past month. OUR Hugh plays Denny, "a patrolman with a racist streak and violent temper." Daniel plays Joey, "a recovering alcoholic and gentler soul who may not be as docile as he first seems." The play opens in September. Anyhooo, word is Daniel is being a bit of a diva and has requested round the clock security to shadow him while he's in NY while OUR Hugh, as always, has been super low maintenance, happy to come and go on his own, as approachable and as modest as ever. Gush. According to a Page Six source no one thinks Daniel's request is necessary: "Everybody thinks it's funny because the truth is, Daniel rarely gets approached by the public in the street and at restaurants -- especially now that he has the huge handlebar moustache for this role." In fairness to him, Craig fans can certainly bring the crazy. I've seen the obsession. Conspiracy theories, frightening hate for his fiancee Satsuki Mitchell, an alarming stalker like need to know where he is at all times…But it's not like Hugh doesn't have his share of lunatics either. When you take on a franchise like Wolverine, it's part of the game. And if you agree to be Bond…Well…Attention and adoration are lavished upon the popular. It's not like 007 is an indie flick. And this isn't the first time that Daniel Craig (who's rented a lavish, $38,000-a-month apartment with top security as his safe haven while in NY) has been accused of being a wimp. In 2005, he made a splash in London when he was unveiled as the new James Bond on a Royal Marine commando boat — looking seasick, clinging on for dear life and wearing a life jacket. He even admitted the ride had scared "the $#@% out of me."
LINDSAY'S MAKING PLAYBOY SWEAT - THINKS SHE'S WORTH MORE
Here's a side shot of Linds in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. Word is she's currently considering an offer of $900k (US) from Playboy to pose nakey. Word is she's also holding out for a higher offer. No doubt because she considers herself to be a worthy star, but in all likelihood if there's a stampede at the newsstands, it's probably because in some twisted way we'd be drawn to the pictures of an emaciated freckled SLH with boobs that look like balloons five days after the party and a body of a 50 year old!

Hello Ladies!
MEGAN FOX NEEDS TO SIT DOWN & SHUT UP!
You might find this hard to believe, but Megan Fox did an interview with Wonderland Magazine and said something really stupid! She blabbed that she has struggled with mental health issues since her youth, and, although she hasn't been officially diagnosed, she has convinced herself that she shows symptoms such as auditory hallucinations, paranoid delusions and social dysfunction. The 23 year old reveals she has spent years meticulously studying the life of movie legend Marilyn Monroe, who died of a drug overdose at the age of 36 - because she fears her own problems may lead her to a similar end. She tells Wonderland magazine, "I basically read every book ever written about Marilyn Monroe. I could end up like that because I constantly struggle with the idea that I think I'm a borderline personality - or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia. "I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven't pinpointed what it is." Silly bich! Look sweet cheeks, I could read every Harry Potter book, but that doesn't mean I'm getting to go to Hogwarts any time soon. Just like you don't have a mental disorder just because you read somewhere one time that Marilyn Monroe heard voices.
LINDSAY'S PARANOID TWITTER RANTS
She's been at it again on Twitter. They're always late at night, always when she can't get hold of Samantha Ronson, and then the paranoia starts raging. Here's how it flowed:
the Venetian Hotel is a scary place.. Too many stories sold & too many lies kept..i'm very disappointed about tonight-security shouldn't lie
@samantharonson u okay? still waiting up-no word from you&you said you were leaving in less than 45minz @1am? sorry for using
@samantharonson twitter but you're phone is not on.. drive safe&hope tonight went well always always * bye now :) too tyty babella cu soon x
So she couldn't reach Samantha Ronson… and then paranoia set in:
okay. im going to ask anyone awake to give advice, ask for advice, and so on.. like a radio hotline/"pump up the volume"... ready?ur boyfriend/girlfriend is in vegas, dont invite you-are sweet, but then start getting defensive before they leave to go 'bartend' for no r.
Are you confused too? People.com, who are firmly embedded inside the egomaniacal ass of Justin Timberlake, came through with a clue. Turns out Little Pip and The Beil were partying in Vegas Wednesday night promoting his new tequila 901. There's press everywhere about how seriously generous he was for giving away shots of HIS OWN BRAND to the entire club! This was all happening at the Palazzo which, wait for it, is an extension of…The Venetian. And guess who was DJ'ing? Samantha Ronson. Well known fact: JT can't stand Lindsay Lohan! Sooooo, she clearly wasn't welcome. Which explains her tweet about Venetian security. JT didn't want her there so she couldn't get in. LOL. And of course the tweets followed - looking for Sam, jealous that she wasn't welcome, anxious that Sam was having a good time with people that hate her, and finally getting angry about the fact that her girlfriend Sam was "bartending" and didn't invite her. Just another day in Linds' life.
MADGE COLLAPSES & LOLA JOINS HER MOTHER ON STAGE
Last night, was their 2nd last night in Tel Aviv, Lourdes joined her mother on stage for Give It To Me. At the final Sticky & Sweet show this evening, she's expected to jump up again as word is, she's been practising the choreography for weeks. And, as expected Lola has been making a splash…Yesterday it was her moves at the end of the Celebration video - and now word is there's a 2nd Celebration video to be released in which she dresses up Like A Bride. Also, Madge collapsed on stage TWICE during Saturday's Sticky & Sweet show in Sofia, Bulgaria. Once she lost consciousness in the middle of singing Holiday and had to be held up by a dancer. Then, as she left the stage during Spanish Lesson, she passed out and fell over. A source said: "Madge was really worried backstage. She had to sit down for a longer break than usual between songs."She refused to end the show or take a break after the Holiday dizzy spell. They're saying she's suffering from exhaustion. That she's anaemic. "She was advised to postpone the last two shows in Israel for a few days, but logistics and stubborness stopped her. She'll do them then take some rest." Over at The Sun, they have a video of Madge "collapsing". After looking at that video, it doesn't look like she "collapsed," so much as she just took a quick nanna nap.

GERARD BUTLER, HOT OIL AND CHOCOLATE
Gerard Butler is already well and truly on my TO DO LIST - right up the top. His sexy Scottish accent, his killer biceps and his manwhore attitude totally makes him perfect for this list - a one night pass of hot intensity. Anyhoo, he's recently revealed that he craves fried foods popular in his homeland. He says that he struggles to stick to a healthy eating plans, expected of him while shooting movies, and often yearns for the calorific delicacies of his home country. He said: "I used to live right above a fish and chip shop and I used to live on those fish and chips and the king rib supper. I diet when I have to, but I have big problems, depending on my motivation." "That's the part of Scotland that haunts me - wanting to eat as many carbohydrates and as much sugar as possible." Gerry also admitted he's never tried Scotland's famous deep-fried Mars Bar - but that he'd like to…..and he's homesick. While he has homes in NY & LA he said: "America's where I live but it never feels like where my soul is." "When I come back to Scotland, I go, 'This is it.' It's everything. Everything I am is Scottish. It's what gave me every part of my personality."
TWILIGHT / ECLIPSE NEWS
Firstly, before a million Twilunatics spontaneously combust - Rob & Kristen are NOT engaged, NOT living together, NOT likely to admit they're together any time soon and she's not pregnant with his sparkly baby! So moving right along, last Friday was the graduation ceremony and earlier last week a Twilight fan from Germany, the luckiest girl in the world's name is Sabrina Frank, arrived for her scenes… Sabrina won a contest and the prize was that they created a character for her to play in the movie. Word is her character's name is Vera and she's somehow involved in the Royce King - Rosalie scenes (thanks EL x). Now Eclipse is shooting inside for the rest of week in Bella's house (which is on a sound stage), with scenes such as Bella reading Jacob's letter, Edward declaring his undying love for her and Bella hanging with Angela & talking about boys, welcome relief from the prying eyes of the stalker devoted fans and photographers who follow their every heartbeat, so Twi-Hards are in withdrawal. Earlier this week Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were in "Florida" at a beach house with Bella's mother played by Sarah Clarke. Lots of shots of Bella & her mother at the beach while the sparkly one hides away from the sun (but too risky to share without express permission, thus an update delay). Sarah left Vancouver Wednesday after completing her scenes. Billy Burke who plays Bella's father is still in Vancouver and he's been tweeting about rehearsals. As you've no doubt seen - Kristen's all wigged up because she didn't want extensions added to her Joan Jett haircut, so Bella's long locks are back - but seriously - they must have bought the wig in an op shop because it's pretty sad & having said that, I was surprised they even let her cut & dye it in the first place. Surely it's not the best wig they could find. The hairline and the parting are embarrassing. It's like Jacob's hairline from the first movie. Is this Jacob's wig? Did they recycle? Even Jessica Simpson's bestie Ken Paves could have done a better job than that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Keanu Reeves is 45, Lesser famous Osbourne - Aimee is 26, gorgeous Salma Hayek is 43 & Mark Harmon (Gibbs in NCIS & Dr. Caldwell from St. Elsewhere back in the 80's) is 58.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hello Ladies!
LA TOYA'S NEW SINGLE: HOME
Seems while Pappa Joe Jackson has been busy trying to convince us he's not the piece of work we know him to be - via any media outlet he can get his hands on, "Detective" La Toya was busy making a video she said she wouldn't do….she's dedicated her single "Home" to her brother and while she said that she wasn't going to do any press for it or make a music video, weeeeeeeeeeeell, guess she changed her mind - or what's left of it because here's a video for the song. La Toya says she made it for all of her fans (aka her plastic surgeon and his staff). The video can be downloaded at iTunes and all proceeds go to brother Michael's fave charity, the AIDS Project of Los Angeles. But don't watch the video before you go to bed. Trust. It portrays a pure and innocent La Toya reminiscing about her childhood, and to save money, she clearly went all sweetness and sugarplums ala Moooriah's "Always Be My Baby" set. There's close ups which they've tried to soften with blurring & hair but occasionally you get to see her face and it's just all a bit wrong and twisted, not to mention La Toya's attempts at some MJ moves, plus I kept waiting for Pappa Joe Jackson to pop out from behind that tree with a switch in his hand.
WHITNEY'S BACK
Whitney's new album I Look To You is available now. A true superstar declaring that it's time we stop f-cking around with the pretenders. The reviews are in and mostly positive including this from the New York Times: "She's tentatively climbing back into the pop machinery, no longer invincible but showing a diva's determination." Whitney was on Good Morning America yesterday promoting the album. She sang Million Dollar Baby - which Alicia Keys wrote and produced for her. At the listening session Alicia was dancing in the aisle during this song, pumping her fist, beside herself with excitement and pride given she's been a fan of Whitney's since she was small. Is it her greatest shiz ever? No. But remember, the song is measuring against a formidable standard. But Whitney's pretty Good is better than anyone else's Best They Can Be. Whitney = True talent. Download it on iTunes and support a real star.
THE GIRLS ARE BACK
Sarah Jessica Parker stuffed her veiny feet into a pair of Louboutins for the first day of filming of the SATC Sequel. And there's that familiar strut accompanied by the bony ass legs, and a very soft light, not unlike the light used in the Mighty O's studio, to make sure Carrie looks nothing like the haggard new mother of twins. Last time around it was the costumes & reappearance of Mr Big that made the movie tolerable for me. But there are some juicy rumours coming out of the UK - translation: not 100% believable - that the girls will be spending some time in London. But also, that apparently they've already been having big domestics. In particular, Kim vs SJP because she wasn't supportive enough when Kim broke up with her boyfriend, and something about Cynthia supposedly being upset with SJP because she won't do more for the gays. Oh Cynthia. She already supports her own. (photo courtesy of wenn.com)
CELEBRATION & THE WAILING WALL
The video for Madonna's new single Celebration has just been released online. And before I say another thing, as much as I know it's all lighting & special effects & makeup artists….I totally want to look like that when I'm 51!!!! I want to recreate THAT video! The smutty buzz coming out of the clip is the inclusion of Jesus Luz, and the way he and Madge pretend to be lovers as she takes his jacket off, shows us the bang she's getting for her buck and moves in to kiss him. Yer right! Am so over whatever she wants us to believe and this farce of a romance. Am much more interested in Lourdes. Lourdes turns 13 this year! Doesn't time fly when you're having fun? She makes a cameo appearance in the video busting a move, and she can dance. And she wants to perform. Said it before and now it's coming to fruition: Lola is her mother's daughter. She wants it. Soon it will be all about Lola. Watch. Madge is also currently in Israel where she's due to give two concerts in Tel Aviv as part of her Sticky & Sweet tour, and yesterday she visited the 'Wailing Wall' surrounded by an army of bodyguards and dined with Israeli politician Tzipi Livni. She's also due to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as attend a conference on the study of Jewish mystic discipline along with fellow Kabbalists, actress genetically blessed Demi Moore and her tool of a husband Ashton Kutcher.

JULIETTE LEWIS
LOVE Juliette Lewis. She's currently out and about at the moment promoting her part in the Drew Barrymore directed movie Whip It as well as the release of her new album Terra Incognita which is apparently a mix of bluesy, brash, sexy tunes. But, as much as she's keen to promote, seems she's constantly asked about her ex - one Bradley SPitt. Anyhoo, last month, Juliette told a journalist that she and Brad used to smoke pot constantly when they were going out - shocking I know. And then recently Juliette was given one of those "Five Questions for…" interviews to People Magazine. Naturally their first question was about Brad. Juliette kindly obliged; "When I run into him it's like running into an old comrade," she says. "Good vibes. He's grown into a fine man and father. Total super father. It's pretty impressive. Their family unit is inspiring." And though she'd love to have babies of her own, she says she needs to find a steady fellow first. "At this point I don't envision having children by myself." She also shares on her love for extreme fashion (even though I've always thought she just ran at a pile of clothes in her room and came out with whatever….she says she's currently taking inspiration from Tina Turner and David Bowie, adding how she loves to piece together "high-heeled boots, sequined- or jewel-encrusted shoulders on a jacket, or a skirt with boots," she says. "Things that wouldn't normally go together. In the beginning it was about wearing a T-shirt over a bikini and knee pads. But I want something that is a little bit more sophisticated these days." Okley dokley then. And my fave is when she gushes about her most loved song, "I'm a disco lover," she says. "If I want to feel good that's my happy place. 'YMCA' changed my life. I love it so much that I had my band learn it and we did a bluesy cover of it." In her new role in Drew's Whip It, Juliette plays a bully. She says that's difficult for her, "I know because of Natural Born Killers people think I'm all scary and stuff, but it's really hard for me to be a bully." She also added that learning to skate roller derby style was a challenging task, she says. "But we all became bad asses comparing bruises. Drew had one about eight inches long and five inches wide on the hip. I got some hip knots and a scraped chin, but thankfully no busted teeth. Bruises and scrapes are cool; busted teeth, not cool." Whip It is Drew Barrymore's directorial debut and she also stars in it. The plot according to IMDB is: "In Bodeen, Texas, an indie-rock loving misfit finds a way of dealing with her small-town misery after she discovers a roller derby league in nearby Austin." The cast is mainly female and I think Ellen Page is the lead.

Hello Ladies!
KATY PERRY PARTIES WITH RIHANNA & CUPCAKES
Katy Perry is back in LA and performed one of her tour's final shows at the Hollywood Palladium on Saturday night. Upstairs in the VIP area was Katy's constantly rumored love interest Benji Madden. Word is Benji was in a great mood, chatting with friends as he made a brief appearance upstairs before Katy took the stage. Benji then went MIA during the show, probably watching with Katy's "close friends" backstage? After her performance, Katy hopped on over to club h.wood to meet up with her new bestie Rihanna who was hanging out with her rumoured main squeeze, rapper Drake. Katy joined the two in a private VIP area upstairs. While Perry and her friends got into a huge cupcake-throwing fight, Rihanna and Drake only had eyes for each other. "They were sitting next to each other on a couch smoking and talking," a fellow clubber tells us. "There were no public displays of affection—they just seemed to be only talking to each other the entire night. They were low-key, but definitely seemed into each other." Hopefully this means she's over that douche Chris Brown. Even after Katy and her pals left covered in cupcake (I'd be sending her the bill for the cleaning!), Rihanna and Drake continued to chat "very closely" in the roped-off area before leaving together. Rihanna, dressed all in black, slyly left the club through a private exit around closing time—with Drake and other friends following close behind. Also at Katy's concert was blogger-twat Perez Hilton who was in attendance (thinking he was so cool he wouldn't take his sunglasses off the entire time inside)!
mcconaughy AT THE beach
CHRIS BROWN HAS NO MEMORY OF BEATING RIHANNA
Chris Brown has pulled out the old "Amnesia" card by saying he doesn't remember going all Ike Turner on Rihanna. In a sneak excerpt of a pre-recorded interview with Larry King which airs in the US on Wednesday night, Chris (dressed for Sunday School in a baby blue knitted jumper & matching bow tie) said that when he read about the details of that night, he couldn't believe it, "I just look at it like, wow. I'm in shock, because that's not who I am as a person…I don't know what to think. It's just like, wow. When I look at it now, it's just like, wow, like, I can't — I can't believe that — that actually happened." Joined by his Mamma & attorney, Chris went on to say "I can't believe that happened," instead of saying "I can't believe I did that." Ugh. How hard is it just to admit you're a dick, say you're sorry and then STFU!! Chris needs new people! These people seriously think we're believing this crap! Note that old lying rule - he looks down and away when answering the questions, not making eye contact - i.e supposedly lying and making it up as he goes….As we know Brown was sentenced last week to five years' probation and ordering him to do 180 days of community labor as a part of the plea deal he made in June for the assault in Hancock Park, California. The singer is required to complete 1,400 hours of community service, where his chief tasks will be washing cars, picking up trash and removing graffiti from walls. Of his sentence, he said there are consequences and he's prepared to do that. What? So if it had been harsher he WASN'T prepared to do it??????
DISNEY BUYS MARVEL COMICS
The Walt Disney Company has acquired Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4 billion in cash and stocks, both companies announced on Monday. The deal means popular Marvel characters, such as Spiderman, Iron Man, The X-Men, Captain America, The Fantastic Four and Thor will now be handled by Disney. Ike Perlmutter, Marvel's chief executive officer, said the deal opens countless doors for merchandising money. "Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses," he said.
BAD BOYS III
There's been talk for some time that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence were interested in making another "Bad Boys" movie. And while there's still little progress in terms of commitments from the film's original stars and directors. Mainly in part because back in 1995 when the original was made, studios didn't use clauses requiring the main stars to appear in sequels, as they do now. However, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as well as director Michael Bay are said to still be behind the idea but haven't come close to making anything official until they see a script which is now in the works - so here's hoping….
DEMI IS DILUSIONAL
A couple of years ago, the Daily Mail ran a story about how Demi dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars on a complete plastic surgery makeover including getting her knees de-wrinkled for her famed comeback role in Charlie's Angels. Even if you Google "Demi Moore plastic surgery" you'll find several stories and pictures detailing her journey down the plastic surgery super-highway. So, now, once again, she's denying it all and saying she's never had anything done. Yer righto! Demi told French Marie Claire "It's completely false, I've never had it done. But I would never judge those who have. If it's the best thing for them, then I don't see a problem." Demi went on to yap that she's not a fan of plastic surgery, "It's a way to combat your neurosis. The scalpel won't make you happy. That said, the day when I start crying when I look at myself in the mirror might be the day when I'm less adamant about not having it done. For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look thirty." Oh, Demi! This game is fun! You know, I didn't just gobble down half a garlic prawn pizza last night instead of a salad & Vicky Beckham totally hasn't had any work done either! We can all play along with Demi! Why doesn't Demi just admit this shit? Yeah, she's not the second coming of Donatella Versace, but she has definitely spent a little quality time with the scalpel. Word is Demi's surgeon is said to be Brian Novack. In 2004 a close "friend" said: "He's a fantastic surgeon and his clients don't look like they've had surgery. Demi can't stand it that there is part of her that is not perfect." Among the work Moore has allegedly had is liposuction to her hips, thighs and stomach, estimated to have cost £16,000, a £9,500 breast implant operation and £20,000 of work on her face, as well as a tummy tuck after each kid! Oh, and how then does she explain this look for that Striptease movie??
IS THIS JUST A BIT ODD?
Leonardo DiCaprio has just spent a long weekend in Monaco. The shoot for Inception seems like a dream job - work a week, holiday the following week - and as we know Leo's well documented summer has been spent filming for Christopher Nolan and also partying from London to Ibiza to the French Riviera. With his mother. She travels with him a lot. To me, this is kind of freaky, kind of makes me squirm just a bit. I wouldn't want my guy hanging out with his mother that much. You? I don't think his mother should be his best friend. Maybe it's just me. Maybe Leo fans out there find it sweet. Thoughts?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Richard Gere has hit the big 6 0! Chris Tucker is 37, The original Britney - Debbie Gibson is 39, Queen Rania of Jordan is 39 and Van Morrison is 64!

Hello Ladies!
DJ AM DIES
American club owner and musical collaborator Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM (who was formerly engaged to Nicole Richie & ex of Mandy Moore), was found dead on Friday in his NY apartment. He was 36. Details have been trickling in, including reports that various prescription-pill bottles and drug paraphernalia, including a crack pipe, were found in the apartment. Officials have said they found no evidence of foul play and early belief is that it wasn't a suicide. You'll recall that almost a year ago Adam survived the crash of a private plane with Blink 182's Travis Barker - both were badly burned. Celebs who knew DJ AM have taken to Twitter - where he was only Twittering days earlier himself - to express their shock and sorrow - and also to unanimously say what a genuinely great guy he was. Sadness.
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!
This robbery is the gift that keeps on giving. So 2 months ago, in an uncanny lapse of judgment (don't they read the papers??) Lindsay Lohan was loaned $2m (US) worth of Jewelry. The Jewelers, XIV Karats, have been at Linds ever since to get them back. Now, days after the burglary on her house (by 3 fashionable pseudo hipster looking kids - with no alarm being set off…..) Linds is now saying that said jewels were in the missing safe! Neglected to mention that the day of the robbery - to the jewelry store, or the police….Puhlease. My smutty senses are doing a breakdance. Linds' rep is saying this is not true, but can we really believe a publicist paid to work for a pathological liar? Immediately, Michael Lohan contacted the media and bleated: "Lindsay didn't take anything from (XIV Karats). They lent her jewelry and she has to give it back to them. That's all I know. She has no intention of keeping any of it. So I guess they're sorting it out." Coincidence or conspiracy??? This is Linds, lips still swollen, Thursday night leaving Bardot after a few hours of partying. Apparently she's been begging Britney's manager Larry Rudolph to work with her for a new reality tv show chronicling her efforts to land acting roles again. To no avail. (photo courtesy of wenn.com)
ELLEN POMPEO'S BABY SHOWER
Katherine Heigl is easily the most disliked major star on TV, with the personality of a puff adder, but when she hosted a baby shower for her heavily pregnant Grey's Anatomy costar Ellen Pompeo, in her backyard in Hollywood Hills, on Saturday, it seems all animosity was put aside. Ellen and her husband Chris Ivery are expecting their first child next month - and I'm thinking it's a girl, given the many pink presents that were loaded into their car when they left. Guest included Grey's co-stars Sandra Oh and Kate Walsh as well as (newly popular thanks to a recently exposed sexy vid) Rebecca Gayheart, wife of the show's Eric Dane. My gripe with Katherin Heeeeeeeigle includes the fact that she has frequently and very publicly complained about the show, bleating about everything from the writing to the hours (which were altered to accommodate her commitments promoting Ugly Truth), much to the dismay of her producers and fellow cast. Then there's the Ugly Truth. Saw it yesterday - for Gerry Butler of course. She has no chemistry. With anyone. And she can't act. There I've said it. She's also got this weird face side on. There - I went there too! And have you seen her without makeup????
IS TOMMY CRUISE'S DAY OF RECKONING COMING?
His lifestyle just keeps getting weirder…So, as we know, Tommy has some friends in the highest echelons of Scientology. He himself is highly placed. Back in June, four of the bigger kahoonas including one former Inspector General Marty Rathbun flew the coup and started singing like birds to the St. Petersburg Times in Florida (probably because smaller papers CAN print stuff like this - whereas the bigger ones are bound by investors) about the workings of the organisation. All four of the former high ranking Scientologists were willing to go on the record with incredible stories of abuse committed by Scientology head David Miscavige, a personal friend of Tom Cruise. Seems Miscavige regularly physically beat the crap out of people working for him, threatened them, and subjected them to weeks of confinement. The culture of the organization involves abuse, fear and intimidation, according to these defectors, who also admitted having beaten staffers on Miscavige's orders. Marty Rathbun apparently was the person who audited or helped indoctrinate, Tom Cruise. Rathbun never gave details of Tommy's "confessions" during the auditing sessions (MAJOR BUMMER), and only mentioned that he worked with him. As a result, Tommy's lawyer has hopped on the case & sent a letter to Rathbun criticizing his choice to go public with this information, claiming that auditor/parishioner relationships were similar to those between a priest and parisioner. The important thing about this letter is that it essentially confirms that Rathbun was Cruise's auditor & Rathbun has fired back (you can see this letter on his website markrathbun.com) stating that while Tommy may have been involved in the behavior mentioned, given that Rathbun says he has worked directly with people who had personally been abused by Tommy, he would never divulge the confessions, ever, unlike Miscavige who apparently has no qualms about threatening to do so. Hmmmmm. Makes for some interesting reading & if you're even remotely interested, here's the links to the St. Petersburg Times http://www.tampabay.com/specials/2009/reports/project/ Oh, and since that initial series another eleven eyewitnesses to Miscavige's human rights violations have stepped forward and gone on record. Their accounts can be seen at the following link: http://www.tampabay.com/news/scientology/article1023717.ece
THE END OF OASIS - AGAIN
Cranky pants Noel Gallagher has once again packed up his ego (in 3 dozen trunks and 25 refrigerated boxes) and walked out on Oasis and this time he claims it's the end of the end of the end. The crappy part about it all is that Oasis was supposed to play at a festival in Paris and only a few minutes before they were due to hit the stage, the crowd was told that the show was canceled due to an "altercation" with the band members. That altercation turned out to be a DO-MESTIC between Noel and Liam. The Sun says that one of their regular fights turned into an all-out bitch fight ending with Liam smashing one of Noel's guitars. That was Noel's cue to exit Liam's LIFE. Noel didn't miss one beat and quickly posted this little pearler on Oasis' website (I guess they didn't lock his ass out yet): "It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer." Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan." Love to be a fly on the wall at their family gatherings!
LADY GAGA
That's all. Oh, no maybe one little point. Christina's not going to appreciate GagGag ripping off her carefully cultivated perennial tanned look! You know she marinates in a bathtub full of bronzer for hours every day just to achieve that color! The Oompa Loompa look will always belong to Xtina!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Cammie D is 37, The Mighty O's special reporter Lisa Ling is 36 and it would have been Michael Jackson's 51st birthday, so join Bubbles and Detective La Toya in raising a glass of (insert your sweet nectar of choice here) to him! Also, Rebecca De Mornay (Risky Business) is 47, and Sir Richard Attenborough is fighting fit at 86.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Hello Ladies!
SHALOM SESAME STREET
Jakey G, Christina Applegate, Ben Stiller & Debra Messing are a few of the celebs set to join Grover and the rest of the gang for Shalom Sesame, a Jewish-themed version of Sesame Street aimed at teaching Jewish-American preschoolers about their culture and heritage. Word is the 12-part series will follow our lovable furry blue hero as he and his A-list pals film educational segments with children in the U.S. and travel to Israel to visit some of Judaism's most prominent sites, among them the Western Wall. It's apparently due out around the Hanukkah holiday in December 2010.
MADONNA BOOED IN BUCHAREST
Apparently Madonna was booed during her Sticky & Sweet tour in Bucharest, Romania on Wednesday after asking fans to fight discrimination against gays and gypsies, the Romanian Times reports: "She told them: 'I've never been to Romania before and I am happy to be here. But I found out that there is a lot of discrimination against gypsies in Eastern Europe and that makes me very sad, especially because we believe in acceptance, gypsies, homosexuals, people that are different. Everyone must be treated the same, don't forget that!' But instead of the applause she expected fans jeered and booed the statement. There are over 500,000 gypsies officially registered in Romania but the real numbers are expected to be much more as many have not declared their ethnicity in a country where they face widespread discrimination. They are Romania's most socially and economically disadvantaged minority, with high illiteracy levels." Just so you know, gays in Romania face violence from nationalist and ultra-orthodox groups. In recent years, marchers at gay rights rallies in Bucharest have been met by hundreds of protesters who hurl stones, eggs, tomatoes, and trash at them in an effort to break up the marches. Madonna's remarks reportedly happened during a performance of "La Isla Bonita".
MAYBE DERYCK WHIBLEY WILL WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!
Avril Lavigne hasn't really been in the spotlight for a while, because she's been busy scuba diving in a Jack Daniels bottle and also maybe people just aren't all that interested in what she's up to given she's still trying to look like a teenager in love with a sk8ter boi at 25! But it does seem there might be a marriage breakup coming up in the not too distant future. Once again there are rumours that her 3 year marriage to Deryck Whibley from Sum 41 is about to be in the can, partially because they haven't been photographed together since last year and partly because sources are saying he doesn't approve of her drunken slutty ways. This past weekend, Avril took off on another bender without her hubby, this time in Southampton partying with any male with a heartbeat. When a few paps got pictures of her with one of many guys, Avril demanded that they delete them so there wouldn't be any evidence. Avril's been working on an upcoming album with Deryck which is due out in November - so a split would be perfect for attention don't you think? Here's a few of my fave stupid things she's said…On dealing with her incredible success: "Selling 24 million albums hasn't really affected me, but it has changed things. I can't walk into a room full of people any more without everybody turning their heads, and I can only eat in certain restaurants where I know I won't get hassled. But that's OK. I was born to do this, and so I've learned how to cope." On her competition: "Someone like Kelly Clarkson is beautiful and has a pretty voice, but with me you get a much stronger image. I'm tough, I have a look that girls want to copy, and I sound a particular way. It's good if you're not easily ignored. And I'm not." On her generosity: "I am a very giving person. When the hurricane thing happened, I went to my closet, filled six boxes of stuff and said to my assistant, 'Take it to Katrina!' I also like to give stuff to people who are my 'workers,' especially if they don't make much money." And lastly on her personality: "People love me and people hate me, but I'm comfortable in my own skin and that's what counts. And anyway if you do hate me, you're the loser, not me."
WHAT THE???
Before I start, you know I love Sandy B. Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper hit the red carpet together in LA for the premiere of their new movie All About Steve. I'm thinking she looked much better while promoting The Proposal. This time round, I hate the dress and what's happened to her hair and makeup?? Girl looks like she ran 10 blocks to get there....and I'm not even going to go there and think she was gettin it on in the limo on the way over - not our Sandy B. But it seems her appearance on the carpet reflects the way she appears in the movies. In The Proposal, she was gorgeous. With All About Steve, even the preview looks like crap. But it's a busy year for Sandy B and next up she'll release her third movie for 2009 called The Blind Side - the true remarkable story of Michael Oher. YOU TUBE: All About Steve Trailer (HD)
ANNE HECHE BRINGS THE CRAZY TO LETTERMAN
Anne Hecke has this alter ego - which she named Celestia. Not sure whether she was there as herself of it was Celestia on Letterman Wednesday night. Stupidly Letterman asked Celestia about her ex-husband Coley Laffoon and out came the crazy and the bitch in one hit. This is juicy goss at it's best. If only they'd all trash their exes this way on national television! As her rant progressed she found new ways of ranting about how lazy the father of her first child is, how he does the happy dance when he walks to the letterbox to collect an alimony cheque from her and how marriage sucks every shred of happiness out of your life. And once she was on a roll Dave actually had to intervene and stop her! She also let loose on Letterman for getting married given she'd specifically warned him not to on a previous visit. Anne, who has a PHD in lunacy, said, "Don't get married. Forever engaged is a wonderful romantic thing to do." BTW she just had another baby in March to a new guy - this one's name is Atlas Heche Tupper - Homer, her son with Coley Laffoon apparently and thankfully lives with his dad……wonder why? And you just know, Portia de Rossi turned to Ellen and said, "You actually lived with this wacko?" YOU TUBE: Letterman - Anne Heche and The Ex
GERARD BUTLER'S IN A DOG FIGHT
Walking your dog in NY is a dangerous game! Gerry Butler has learned this the hard way when he was taking his pug Lolita (sadly my gaydar just blipped) out for a stroll in Long Island City, Queens on Monday night. And, like with all stories, there's two completely different sides to this one. Let's start with Gerry's: he claims that Lolita was minding her own business, just walking along without her leash, when a greyhound bounded up and bit her twice in the neck! Gerry immediately put Lolita on a leash and walked away, but the greyhound (with his elderly owners) followed them. The greyhound apparently tried to snap at that Lolita again, but Gerry blocked it. Can totally see this happening - seen it myself at the doggie doo doo park near us. Gerry's rep told The New York Post that poor little Lolita spent 4 hours at vets getting her shit together again. The rep added, "People are so mean. They're just trying to milk this." Anyhoo, now for the other side: The greyhound's owners, Fred and Maria Varecka, say that when Lolita and their dog simply touched noses, Gerry freaked out like Christian Bale on a movie set and started shouting at them, "That dog should be put down!" When they tried to get away from him, Gerry followed them and kept shouting about how they should send their dog to the glue factory. Fred went on to say, "And he smacked the dog in the head. The dog's head went into the fence. I was shaking. The dog yelped. I said, 'Keep your hands off my dog! Why did you hit my dog?' He didn't say a word." When the couple called the cops, Gerry and Lolita (who are the new Bonnie & Clyde) busted out of there. The couple filed a report, but no citations were given. They also claim, even thought it was them who went to the media that they aren't trying to get money out of Gerry. And on that note....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Dog Whisperer to the stars, Cesar Milan is 40 (really? I would have picked him at like 55), Designer Tom Ford is 48, Barbara Bach (The Spy Who Loved Me) is 62 and Daryl Dragon (The Captain from Captain & Tennille) is 67.

Hello Ladies!
A DOUCHE IS SENTENCED
Yesterday in LA, Chris Brown was sentenced for beating the crap out of Rihanna, repeatedly. He was slapped with 5 years probation, a year of domestic abuse classes and he must complete 1,400 hours of community service (and by that they mean party with as many people as possible as often as possible - preferably before putting in a few good hours at the studio). The judge also threw in for good measure that Chris must keep at least 100 yards away from Rihanna. If they are at the same industry event, he has to stay 10 yards away. He isn't allowed to e-mail, text or call her on the phone. The judge also gave a side-eye and said, "I'm not immune to any chatter on the airwaves. Do you understand, Mr. Brown, that any violation of this order is a violation of your probation and it comes with the possible penalty of prison?" Chris answered "Yes." So I guess that song he's penning called "PLEASE RIRI TAKE ME BACK, MY CAREER DEPENDS ON IT" is out of the question? Ri had asked the court to cancel the stay-away-order, but thankfully the decision was not hers. But what's really disturbing apart from the adoring girls outside the courthouse cheering for Chris Brown yelling out "we love you Chris..", it's also the ignoranouses all over the internet, with comments ranging from "he doesn't deserve 5 years probation, that's too long" to my personal fave "she musta asked for it". But this kind of dumbassness is not limited to degenerates with nothing better to do but argue with their own kind on message boards, this sentiment came from People.com with its headline about Brown and Rihanna's violent past. The qualifying statement on the site's HOME PAGE reads: Three months prior to their Feb. 8 fight, the "Umbrella" singer slapped him during an argument. Way to blame the victim! By contrast, Us Weekly, which is considered more "tabloidy" than celebrity asskissing People, chose to represent the story this way: Chris Brown Involved in Previous "Domestic Violence" Incidents With Rihanna. And after turning up for sentencing looking remorseful and claiming to be "depressed" he put in a few hours in the studio on his new album - then hit L.A's Guys & Dolls Lounge with a friend and his new girlfriend. "He was in a great mood," an eyewitness has said. "He jumped on the top of the back booth and did Michael Jackson's 'Dirty Diana.' He danced on top of the booth all night." And while he only sipped on water, his fellow revelers drank Dom Perignon. "People were shaking his hand, and he was posing with them for photos," adds the eyewitness. At one point, a source tells E! News, Brown was overheard saying that he wished Rihanna nothing but the best and that he was happy the incident was behind him. He also said he will always love Rihanna. Yer, cause nothing says love like repeated acts of violence! I hate people sometimes.
DISNEY'S FAVOURITE POLE DANCER IS A PLAYER AT 16
Miley Cyrus was spotted earlier this week with her co-star, OUR Liam Hemsworth at the airport, kissing, dancing and generally making unwilling witnesses sick. However, on Twitter, she has said it's not true…..Dumb blogs. I do not have a boyfriend. Stop wasting your time making up lies. I would be so depressed if that was my reason to breathe. All I want to know is who ARE these "sources"? Who is the "insider". I am sure their parents are VERY proud HA. They are professional liars. Gee, that's rich - do we really want to talk proud parents? As for Miley's denials about making out with Liam Hemsworth, could have had something to do with the fact that after she tweeted that those reports were "lies", she also mentioned that she had just had lunch with that 20 year old ex boyfriend of hers Justin Gaston. Kiss one boy, keep another stringing along. God and her Daddy said it was ok.
RUSTY BUSTS A MOVE ON BRIT
That naughty boy Russell Brand is up to his old tricks. As you know he's hosting the MTV Video Music Awards for the second year in a row, on the 13th of September, so they've just released a funny new promotional video. In the video Rusty busts a move on Britney who's looking radiant in a tiny, whitey bikini, reading an article about Rusty hosting again this year & wondering if she should have flirted with him a bit more last year. Meanwhile Rusty realizes he can read her thoughts and sends out his own powers of suggestion via a mental message. "Britney, this is the voice of your mind, go to Russell's hotel room...give yourself to him Britney. Sleep with Russell!" he coaxes. Brit seems to get the message, and turns back and forth in confusion, wondering where the voice came from & which way to go. No word yet on whether she followed his orders!

MORE LOHAN DRAMA
As we know, someone snatched a safe and all the crap inside from Lindsay's house earlier this week. Her on again/off again daddy Michael Lohan put on his obvious cap and said he believed it was an inside job because no alarm was triggered. Yesterday, Linds backed up her father's claim on Twitter saying: "that's how i know it was not a ROBBERY. electronics weren't taken... just things that a certain old friend knew meant a lot to me." Someone's always out to get her huh? Well, turns out that some of those things that "meant a lot" to her include "very incriminating videos and photos." A source added that Blohan will be all sorts of embarrassed if any of it got out. WHY?! We've already seen it in all its gory, so what else is there?? On second thought, maybe they stole the director's cut of Labor Pains. If that's the case, then I'm scared too. Seriously - she so organised it herself. One she gets immediate attention, and she's done that - the whole clan is back in the news this week and two, look what a certain video did for Parisite Hilton's profile!
RENEE GETS BITCHY
You see, it's all just one big competition vying for the spotlight. But it does make deliciously smutty gossip! Renee Zellweger did an interview on CNN as she's out and about promoting her latest movie, My One & Only. Anyhoo, she came up with this little pearlier when asked about being judged on appearances. CNN: (Your character) was judged on her looks many times in the film. Have you faced similar situations, being judged on your looks and people not taking you seriously? Renee Z: Not in such an overt way. I'm not an actress who made her way based on physicality -- I think quite the opposite, in fact. I sort of disappear a little bit, with respect to my looks. I'm lucky. I'm not a standout, kind of knockout kind of girl that, you know, it's all about my great hair or something. But, in subtle ways, maybe. I mean, people presume to know you for something and respond to you accordingly, I'm sure. Wonder, who on earth she possibly be talking about??? Who lost Bradley Cooper to Renee Zellweger??? Do you love it or do you LOVE it? But having said that…I'm thinking that's a bit rich coming from she who makes such a monumentally mammoth effort, starving herself and contorting for the cameras….don't you think? Renee and Jennifer Aniston have a lot more in common than they care to admit. Except Renee can actually act. And has an Oscar and (for now) Bradley Cooper.
ECLIPSE NEWS
Seems Taylor Lautner is in demand from the unlikeliest places. Newly acquired cast member BooBoo Stewart (real name Nils Allen Stewart Jr.) who'll play Seth Clearwater, has said that while his family is rapt about his new role in the third installment of the Twilight series, it's his sister who's extra excited. "My sister just wants to come on set so she can see Taylor Lautner with his shirt off," BooBoo has said. Of his 22 year old sister, he added with a laugh, "She has to clean my room first if she wants to see him."

Hello Ladies!
MADONNA UPSETS RELIGIOUS GROUPS IN BULGARIA
It's not like this hasn't happened before, most of the religious groups of the Western World have been calling for boycotts of Madonna's concerts for years! But Bulgaria's Orthodox Church officials have called on followers to stay away from her concert scheduled for its capital city of Sofia Saturday night. And it has nothing to do with her plaything Jesus, or hanging herself from a cross while wearing a crown of thorns, it's because she apparently failed to consult a calendar before setting a date! Saturday night's show coincides with one of Orthodox Christianity's holy days, wherein they mark the beheading of Saint John the Baptist by spending the day fasting. It's a ritual Madonna, and no doubt her nearly sell-out 50,000-strong crowd clearly won't be adhering to. The church went on to express its "disapproval and disagreement with such musical artistic events which, in many cases, openly profane Christian symbols and events."
ANTONIO'S NEARLY MINE
My hubby and I have a long standing agreement, since we first met, that as soon as Antonio Banderas quits that nutter Melanie Griffith's ass, it's over, because I'm marrying Antonio. I have to say though, that I've been reassessing my options as the years go by and Antonio ages….Anyhoo, word is Melanie has checked in to Cirque Lodge in Utah - same place Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dundst and Eva Mendes have gone for a LLD. Melanie's reps are adding sparkles & rainbows to it all by saying, "She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago." But a "source" close to Melanie is saying that that's not the case, "The reason Melanie checked in was her husband was demanding that she get clean and sober. He told her that if she didn't get the help she needed it would be the end of their marriage." Another source added that Antonio is holding her hand as she tries to get the bad shit demon off her back, "Melanie's struggling right now, but Antonio has been checking in on her as much as he is allowed, making sure she gets back on her feet."
THE HOUSE OF GOOP EXPANDS
Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin have snatched up the house next to theirs in London and are expanding the House of GOOP into a mega 33-room mansion. Gwynnie's new pad will now have 8 rooms on the ground floor, six on the upper ground, five on the first floor and eight on the second. This will include an additional 3 bedrooms, a gym, a changing room and a bathroom. The Daily Mail is thinking Gwynnie's copying her BFF Madonna's idea, because she did the same thing a few years ago. There's also word on the street that Gwynnie's trying to talk Chris Martin into putting Coldplay on ice for a while and pursing a solo career… Gossip Betty's source said, "Gwyneth has outright told Chris that he should consider going solo. She is busy doing all of her projects and she wants him to diversify as well. She doesn't have a problem with Coldplay, but she wants Chris to think about trying a solo album just to see if he likes it. When Gwyneth mentioned it, Chris was furious. He loves the band and he has no desire to change things right now. Chris basically ignored her and walked away." Interesting, but I think that while Gwynnie's head is so far up her own ass she doesn't give a fiddler's fart about anyone else, I don't think she's actually the boss in that relationship, and the very fact that she doesn't have control is the reason she's focused on other pursuits and we're all subjected to GOOP!
I GUESS YOU GUESS
This would certainly confirm some long standing rumors that have broken a few hearts! This bald, male, former A list action star and now a solid B in movies only, was spotted at a house party this past weekend making out with a guy. As has been the case before, he wasn't even trying to be discreet. There have to be some pictures of this because there were just too many people at the party. My guess is the one and only Vin Diesel. You?
CELEBRITIES SANS MAKEUP, STYLISTS & THE RIGHT LIGHTING
Carmen Electra. Love her. She's 37 now, and was snapped on Monday holidaying in Greece with her fiancée, ex Korn member Rob Patterson.
TRUE BLOOD CAST OUT AND ABOUT
Anna Paquin (Sookeh) is on the cover of next month's Nylon, so they threw her a little soiree in LA Monday night to celebrate. Among her co-stars who turned up to show their support were Anna's new fiancé, Stephen Moyer (Beeeil), who for some reason thinks he looks cool with an earring and BTW has an English accent being he's from Essex! Hate guys wearing earrings! Also there was a blonde Carrie Preston (Arlene) and Rutina Wesley (Tara - and she sounds exactly the same) who took advantage of the show's hiatus to come out and support their friend. True Blood which is currently showing Season 2 over in the USA & Canada, continues to draw record ratings every Sunday night. Season 3 is not due out until June 2010.
AMY WINEHOUSE SUES BLAAAAAAAAKE'S MUM
While Blaaaaaaaake was incarcerated, the love of his life (after smoking a few hits of the bad shiz) Amy Nuthouse sent him beautiful heave worthy love letters…..and now Blaaaaake's mother, a glamorous piece of work called Georgette has gotten hold of one of the steamier love letters and sold it off to the highest bidder, as you do. Amy's not happy about it, and so now she's suing! The Sun is reporting that Amy has filed a lawsuit against Georgette for, wait for it... copyright infringement. Amy wants £50,000 in compensation. One "source" close to the action said, "Amy was furious the private letter was used to make money." No word on when Amy's next day in court will be....

Hello Ladies!
MICHAEL JACKSON SAGA CONTINUES TO TWIST & TURN
Given that you asked me to shut up about Michael Jackson for a while, I thought I'd throw in the top three stories out there about him. Firstly, there's a planned tribute show taking place in Vienna on 26th September which is expected to draw thousands of Michael's devotees and his mum, Katherine Jackson has given it her blessing. "I immediately found this is a wonderful idea because of Michael's impact and influence around the world," the Jackson matriarch said in a letter released by World Awards Media, the company organizing the event with Jackson's brother Jermaine. "An event of this dimension not only keeps Michael's spirit alive. More than that, it gives millions of fans the opportunity to experience his music and celebrate the life of my son. I am sure Michael would love it," she added. Promoters have yet to unveil the slate of legendary artists supposedly invited to perform, but various early reports have mentioned Madonna, U2, Whitney Houston & Lionel Ritchie among those on the bill. Surprisingly, so far only 10,000 tickets have been sold for the show, which is being held at the city's Schönbrunn Palace. ALSO, The mystery of MJ's sudden death may finally be resolved. According to a newly unsealed search warrant affidavit from Houston, L.A. County coroner's officials found lethal levels of the anesthetic propofol in MJ's system. His physician Dr. Conrad Murray has told detectives he had been administrating the drug for weeks to treat Jackson's insomnia. However, Dr. Murray was not the first to give the singer propofol. Turns out that two German doctors had given him the drug before as well as a Las Vegas doctor named David Adams. In the six weeks leading up to his death, Jackson would receive about 50 milligrams of propofol through an intravenous line according to the affidavit. Murray lowered the dosage to 25 milligrams and mixed it with two other sedatives (lorazepam and midazolam) out of concern of Jackson's increased dependence. On the morning on Jackson's death, Murray used propofol to attempt to put the singer to sleep. At 1:30 am, he gave Jackson some valium before injecting lorazepam half an hour later. At 3 a.m., Jackson was still awake so Murray gave him midazolam. He continued to administer more drugs over the next few hours. At 10:40 am, Jackson demanded propofol so Murray gave him 25 milligrams of the drug. He left the singer's side to make telephone calls to his Houston office and to family members but found Jackson not breathing on his return….and the rest unfortunately we know….OH, BUT THERE'S MORE - Recordings from Michael Jackson to his spiritual adviser June Gatlin indicate that MJ was fearful of Dr. Tohme R. Tohme, the advisor he had appointed to preside over his personal affairs last year. "He just has ways about him ... the things he's done," Jackson tells Gatlin on the tapes. "There's a divide between my representatives and I ... I don't talk to my lawyer or my accountant -- he talks to them, and I talk to him." On the tape, Jackson revealed his concerns over Tohme's control over his finances. "I know it's not good -- I don't know what's in my account," he said. Tohme, according to the Today Show, met Jackson through the late King of Pop's brother, Jermaine, when he was battling to keep his Neverland estate last year. He is not a licensed physical in the U.S. Tohme said in a Today Show appearance two weeks after Jackson's death that he was in control of the singer's day-to-day life. According to the show, Tohme has been rumoured to be connected with many shady real estate deals.
JENNIFER ANISTON IS PREDICTABLE AS THE SUN COMING UP
I've been saying it, waiting for it… Jennifer Aniston was hit hard last week. Magazine covers calling her pathetic, Bradley Cooper saying she's "not natural", Renee Z trumping her ass in the battle for Hollywood's hottest IT man. And then Bradley sPitt wins at the box office over the weekend. So you knew come Monday she'd have to find a way to matter again. Therefore, the rumors about Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston getting it on just won't die (probably with the help of their publicists)! Last month, Gerry shot down the whispers of romance lickidisplit, but now PEOPLE (who seem to have all the exclusives on her love life) are saying that Gerry and Jenny got all touchy with each other in NYC on Saturday night. Word is they had dinner at Freeman's on the Lower East Side. After they finished there, they moseyed on over to the lounge at The Jane Hotel where "witnesses" say they were "holding hands." What the witnesses didn't say is that both Jenny and Gerry's pr peeps were talking to the through a hidden microphone telling them to "HOLD HANDS NOW!" When you think about it, it makes total sense really, she has a movie coming out, he has a movie coming out, they are filming a movie together...it all works out! I absolutely refuse to believe that a manwhore like Gerry holds hands in a bar. That's a little too sweet & romantical for him. Here's Gerry and Jenny on the never-ending shoot for The Bounty in NY yesterday.
ECLIPSE NEWS FOR THOSE OF US WHO CARE….
It was a quiet Twilight weekend in Vancouver - with papps swarming like a plague of locusts and fans stalking, most cast members remained hidden, there's been a few braver souls popping out but only for brief outings, while the Big Three are now increasingly reluctant to roam around alone and unprotected. You would be too if you had to deal with Twilunatics who would do ANYTHING to get close to you. However, Nikki Reed (Rosalie) was spotted out and about Sunday with Elizabeth Reaser (Esme). Last week's workload was light for both as neither was required on set. Director David Slade tweeted that week 1 was supposed to be the most challenging and that newcomer OUR Xavier Samuel did a great job playing Riley. Many fans showed up on set on Friday to watch the Riley/Victoria scenes, including a few 'regulars' who follow the cast & crew from location to location because…I don't know how to complete the rest of that sentence - it's a bit sad really. In all fairness though, most of them seem to be able to maintain their sanity and do not attempt to strangle the actors. Needless to say, production is quite wary of the travelling band of Twi-Hards who show up every day. And of course they're not thrilled about the pap presence either. One woman in particular however has made herself terribly unwelcome - more so than any other fan or photographer. Known to security for her overzealous attempts at ingratiating herself with production, she apparently became irate and hysterical when rejected, and I'm told that earlier this year, during filming for New Moon, she tried to convince the crew that her daughter was suffering from a terminal illness in a desperate bid to get close to the cast. Needless to say, they didn't believe her. She claims to be a local Twilight expert and is trying to profit from it. Have already heard that a few fans have encountered her and walked away bitterly disappointed, and more than a little disturbed and frightened.
LINDSAY LOHAN'S HOUSE GET'S ROBBED FOR A 2ND TIME
For the second time in three months, Lind's Casa de Cokey has been broken into by a bunch of thieves! When she got home from NYC this morning, she found out that someone had ripped the safe out of the wall and taken the whole thing which had watches, bags, shoes & jewelry in it. Apparently, it was all caught on surveillance video. Linds did the first thing you do when you've been robbed, she called her on again/off again father Michael Lohan. Probably because she figured his ass did it. Michael then called 911, followed quickly by a call to TMZ (as you do). Michael said he believes it's an inside job, because Lind's assistants conveniently forgot to turn the security system on. Then Michael said something that proves he's either: a) still on the bad shit b) got the crazies in a serious way c) is just trying to get his daughter to pay his car payments or d) all of the above. This is what Michael said, "I am not going to put up with individuals violating my family. Lindsay is a charitable, generous person that always gives. This is a personal violation and it has got to stop." The answer is "D," right? If by "charitable and generous," he means that she sometimes let's her friends snort a third of her line, then okay. America's Saintress of 8 Balls is Lindsay Lohan. Michael Lohan wasn't the only one who was going to get a little attention from his daughter getting robbed. MOTY White Oprah, being ever the caring mother, set aside her Clooney stalking mission and popped over to People give her valued opinion on the whole event. White Oprah bleated, "Ali and Lindsay just left me in New York, and left people in charge to pack, as we are moving her to a safer place. She is okay, but upset." Linds needs to find a different surface to do her bad shit off of, because breaking dozens of mirrors has given her centuries of bad luck! But seriously, whoever broke in was probably just stealing their shit back from her. Meanwhile, her neighbours want her to move on due to the continuous swarm of papps and recent robberies. One neighbour said, "The truth is that this is a very quiet neighborhood and there have been no break-ins apart from at Lindsay Lohan's house….Since she moved in last November it has been a nightmare with all the paparazzi parking in our driveways waiting for her." The chatty neighbour then added, "It's obviously an inside job and I first noticed that the door at the side of the property was missing a few days ago."
NATALIE PORTMAN NEWS
Natalie Portman is on the cover of September's Interview Magazine. The actual interview hasn't been released yet on Interview's site but she's once again gorgeous on the cover. LOVE HER. Anyhoo, Natalie has just been officially confirmed for new movie the deep and edgy Black Swan, which will be directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain). But the news that's going to get all of the boys foaming at the mouth (and the girls if she's who'd you'd turn gay for) is that it apparently calls for Natalie to do some crazy stuff - being a hardcore ballerina, taking drugs, being victimized by men and having "ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex" with a woman, being the character played by Mila Kunis (That 70's Show / Family Guy's Meg). The movie is out in 2010.
CINDY CRAWFORD
Former Supermodel Cindy Crawford can still rock the runway at 43. She's currently in the midst of launching her JCPenney home collection so she's out promoting and gracing the September issue of REDBOOK where she poses for intimate photos with husband Rande Gerber (very unfortunate name) at their Malibu home. In the interview, she opens up about cellulite, the pressure of being an aging Supermodel, and what she does on date nights with Rande. On the pressures of aging: "I think I look good for my age. I am not 25; I am 43. That feels like a big pressure, especially when the National Enquirer is dying to get a picture. I am so aware that I don't want to change the way I live because of that kind of attention. So you say, 'Screw it. I am wearing a bikini, and I am not putting on a cover-up.' You just brace yourself for a bad picture." On being Cindy Crawford: "People get excited that they're meeting the Cindy Crawford from the Playboy spread 13 years ago, and I am a mother of two now. I have to check in with myself. It's good to have an awareness of the outside pressure; I can't let it get to my core. I love my life." And on partnering with J.C. Penney to create Cindy Crawford Style: "It's my take on home fashion. The whole concept is to help women discover their own livable, comfortable style by offering versatile pieces that are updated classics. And it incorporates what Penney's does so well, which is quality and value. I love the idea of home as your sanctuary, as the place that tells a story about you — and how individual that is for every person." Yawn. And lastly on cooking: "I am not a fine chef, but I can certainly get dinner on the table for 14 people. With that many, I try to keep it simple: salmon, mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach, and salad. For sure, I do the desserts. I make a coconut cake, which is actually easy, and a carrot cake, which my husband loves so much we had it for our wedding cake. If I want to get on his good side, I make that cake. The hard part is that I use white chocolate in the frosting and you have to melt it and introduce the other two ingredients, sour cream and cream cheese. The timing is crucial; otherwise the white chocolate can start coagulating and you get chunky frosting — which, by the way, still tastes good. Last night, Presley and I had a pie contest. He made strawberry rhubarb — I gave him my recipe, but I didn't touch his pie — and I tried a new one: peach blueberry. And I said, "We won't tell who made what, and we'll have a vote." And his pie won. I was outbaked by my 10-year-old!"(Photo credit: Brian Bowden Smith)
EYE CANDY
It's so Lo Cal of me to feed my current True Blood obsession with eye candy rather than my other obsession Violet Crumble. So for your viewing pleasure, here's 'Eggs' from True Blood. He's at the Tag the World Celebrity Charity Triathlon in Waikiki, Hawaii over the weekend. Enjoy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Harry Potter's Rupert Grint has hit the big 21! Yawn worthy, Chad Michael Murray is 28 and aging fast and gorgeous Marlee Matlin is 44.

Hello Ladies!
MILLA JOVOVICH GOT MARRIED
Gorgeous Milla Jovovich married her long time love & baby daddy (film director) Paul W.S. Anderson at their home in Beverley Hills. Milla wore a vintage wedding dress yawn. The best part of this story is that it looks like Milla ended her night by passing out face first in the wedding cake with her dress up around her ears! Seriously, drunk brides are the best. If you're a bride, it's your duty to get sloshed in a major way. It's what your guests totally want. Celeb pals at the nuptials included Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey and his puff adder wife. Hate her for still looking good sloshed!
ALANIS TO WRITE HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Alanis Morissette is apparently planning an autobiography (which she's been talking about since last year) that will dish, among other things, the juicy details on her long-term relationship with that moody little twit Ryan Reynolds. When they were together, Ryan was a struggling actor and the less famous half of a pairing with Alanis. The couple were together from 2002 to 2006, and were engaged for a year before their big bustup. Sources close to Alanis said that she was devastated when Ryan dumped her (and she wrote her song "Torch" about said devastation), and this will be discussed in the new book. An "insider" standing by said that Ryan's wife SarJo's rather snakey about the whole thing. "Scarlett has tried to live a very private life since she married Ryan last year, and the last thing she wants is attention focused on her husband's past," the insider told The Enquirer. Hmmm.
ERIC BANA DOES MEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE
OUR Eric Bana is the cover boy for September's issue of USA Magazine Men's Health, and he's dangerously close to going on that Boring Old Porridge List. He looks good, and we love him, but the interview itself is once again - as slow as a wet weekend. Eric talks about his love of New York, Australia, cars, and a good tailor….He shares; "When I look at an item on the rack, there needs to be one distinguishing feature that makes it pop…I look for a detail that I know I'll appreciate 5 years from now, not just at that moment…..I love a slim-fitting suit….Tom Ford is a favorite." Thank God he's mentioning something other than cars! When I read about him talking about cars now, my eyes glaze over.
ECLIPSE UPDATE
Thursday night the Twilight Eclipse shot "Seattle" scenes with Bryce Dallas Howard and OUR Xavier Samuel as "Victoria and Riley". As we know, Victoria seduces Riley so that he'll carry out her orders and make an army of newborn vampires. Of course they've wigged out Bryce's hair to resemble Rachelle Lefevre's. Oh, and did you know you can get a "Edward Cullen Life Size Twilight Silhouette Vinyl Wall Decal". But you'll have to wait in line, because believe it or not…..It's SOLD OUT!!!! Yep. Yep. Yep.
KATE MOSS / LILLY ALLEN
Not that we've ever actually considered Kate Moss MOTY, given her hard partying lifestyle and penchant for disco candy & powdering her nose, but maybe this time, action will actually be taken given she's swanning on some yacht on some coast, with that little twit Lily Allen and her 7 year old daughter Lila Grace…..smoking weed! The fact she's hanging with Lily Allen is reason enough!
OUR CATE IN SYDNEY
Love OUR Cate Blanchett. Here's Cate and her husband Andrew Upton at an Audi event last week in Sydney. She is, as usual, perfection. And it always seems to be natural. You can't imagine her running around the house like a lunatic trying to manage 3 kids, a Hollywood career, a Theatre Company and get ready for a launch or premiere! Love that she never pimps her kids or gloats about her abilities and love that she doesn't have the papps on speed dial. (photo courtesy of titomedia.com.au)
THAT DINNER DATE
Have you heard? Cammie D and Keanu did dinner and a movie. But before you marry them off, you should remember that they've known each other at least since costarring in Feeling Minnesota in 1996. So I'm thinking it's just homies hangin.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Rick Springfield 60, Scott Caan (Ocean's 11, 12 and 13) is 33, Jay Mohr 39, Queen Noor is 58, Shelley Long is 60, Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale turns 1 and I Dream of Jeannie's Barbara Eden is 75 BTW she originally was passed up for the role of Jeannie because she was petite and blonde and they were after a brunette!

Hello Ladies!
KRISTEN STEWART DOES DAZED
Dazed Magazine went to L.A. and briefly stole Kristen Stewart away from filming and the glare of the papps to speak exclusively to her about dealing with fame and life beyond the Twilight saga. Photographer David Benjamin Sherry and stylist Katie Shillingford worked their magic on Kristen for a 'psychedelic shoot', from which Dazed Digital have extra shots here, not seen in the magazine. On the shoot, Sherry says "I have never seen 'Twilight but I was researching lots of images of her. I was inspired by the paintings of Patrick Nagel. I was reminded of a young Jodie Foster or Winona Ryder. I tried to portray a new way of seeing this blossoming teenage actress." During the interview accompanying the shoot, Kristen talks at length about her experiences thus far and also her upcoming movie, Welcome to the Rileys. The director is Jake Scott (son of Ridley Scott) and it also stars James Gandolfini. She's playing the character of Mallory a 16 year old street kid who lives off the spoils of prostitution and stripping, but it isn't all bad - there's hope in the story as well with Mallory helping to mend the marriage of a struggling couple who have lost their teenage daughter…..And on her plans for the future? Kristen said that she may turn to writing or even directing as well as acting in future roles. She added "I love this, I love what I do, I am definitely going to keep doing it if I feel this way about it. That could stop, but until then, I'm just going to just write, make movies, play music."
DAVID COPPERFIELD WANTS AN ASSAULT ACCUSATION TO DISAPPEAR
Ok, so here's what went down….TWO YEARS AGO…..a 21 year old woman met the illusionist at a show. One thing led to another (EWWW) and she wound up at Copperfield's $50 million private Bahamian retreat. (AGAIN EWWW) That much they agree on. But only that. She then claims she was assaulted and raped by David Copperfield and has just recently filed a suit against him. He adamantly denies the allegation and he's not only released a statement defending himself but set up his own innocence-proclaiming website. David is saying that the woman "has a history of lying" and even once told friends she could "take a guy down" if she wanted. No criminal charges have ever been filed. David is saying she's basically pulled the allegation out of her….hat and also says, "Nothing of the sort ever happened," he insists. "This lawsuit is extortion for money, plain and simple. Unfortunately, false claims like this only hurt the women who really have been abused, women who really need our help." The lady in question is asking for an unnamed amount for emotional distress, false misrepresentation and false imprisonment; her attorneys said the suit was filed on the 29th of July, the deadline for a two-year statute of limitations on charges of such nature. Hmmm. Thoughts?
RYAN GOSLING
In a flannie on Wednesday in LA. No luck on any Ryan/Rachel reunion….seems Ryan's focus is less on his love life and more on his music — he's been hard at work preparing for the October release of Dead Man's Bones' debut album. But here he is in the meantime on Ellen - so smoulderingly sexy….. Definitely on my To Do List. YOU TUBE: Ryan Gosling on the Ellen DeGeneres show (photo courtesy of Bauergriffinonline)
LOHAN'S MODIFIED HER FACE
She's popped up all over New York this week, spending her days shopping & her nights trying to be seen. You'll note - she was not at The September Issue premiere Wednesday night in NY. Puhlease. Like Anna Wintour would have allowed her to be there! Instead, Lindsay Lohan decided to show off her new lips, which even Vanity Fair are now speculating is a case of bad injections. You'll note also that her forehead seems tighter. Did she get a lift around the eyes too? It's easy to forget…this little twit is only 23. So that's some seriously ROUGH living. I'm thinking she looks like an OLDER version of Angie Jo! Anyhoo, yesterday, after spending hours trying on clothes, Linds hooked up with her 40 year old sister for dinner at the Waverly. Of course she had to namedrop on her Twitter later that she was sitting next to Diddy who arrived in a Lamborghini. In reality, he probably ignored her the whole time. And you know what makes it even more embarrassing? Linds arrived in a cab. A cab for you and me is one thing. But here's a girl who, at one time, was strictly limo service. It's not that she's choosing to take taxis, it's that she can't AFFORD to take anything else. Because you know if she had the money, it would be a driver and several bodyguards all for show. According to mother of the year Dina Lohan, this is the face of a "genius" who will one day "direct movies". Yer right!
JOHNNY DEPP AS A VAMPIRE
Word is one of Johnny's new upcoming projects could be a another collaboration with his good buddy Tim Burton doing a remake of a 1960's cult classic Dark Shadows. It was a supernatural drama with ghosts, werewolves, monsters, witches and a vampire named Barnabas Collins who Johnny is apparently set to play. The Los Angeles Times however is bleating that playing a vampire is a curse in Hollywood and that he could actually be "driving a stake through any hope" of an oscar in the foot by going down that road. Actually, I don't think Johnny gives a fiddler's fart about an oscar - he's NEVER actively campaigned for an oscar. Johnny has said he watched the highly addictive Gothic soap at home as a kid, "I was obsessed with Barnabas Collins," he admits. "I have photos of me holding Barnabas Collins posters when I was five or six." Depp and Burton are busy now gearing up to unveil "Alice in Wonderland," but Burton assures the L.A. Times that they'll team up for a feature film version of "Dark Shadows" in the future. "That's the plan," Burton says. "There was something very weird about that, it had the weirdest vibe to it. I'm sort of intrigued about that vibe."
JUDE LAW'S MEMORY LAPSE
Turns out Jude Law didn't even remember parking his car in new babymamma Samantha's garage. A close friend of Samantha's has blabbed about details of the very brief relationship between the Sherlock Holmes actor and the aspiring model. It all started once upon a time in a club: "She met him at a club in New York," says the friend. "He was sick, so she kept going to his hotel over the course of a week to take care of him." (Indeed) And then poor, sick Jude didn't remember her after she did everything she could to nurse him back to health: "Jude didn't even remember her. She hasn't seen him since New York. They've only been in contact through their lawyers." Now, this friend thinks Samantha is "crazy" for going through with the pregnancy, so one has to question her financial motivations. Good thing the seven-months-pregnant mom-to-be already cleared that up in a recent blog post: "I can't tell you how far from a gold-digger I am. I've never dated a rich man in my life. I've always wondered how girl friends of mine could even ask their boyfriends to buy them clothes." I completely believe that Jude probably had a hard time remembering her. There's a lot of girls out there....But I'm not really feeling sorry for him given there's such a thing as PROTECTION!!!!
HEIDI & SEAL HOLIDAY IN HAWAII
Heidi Klum & Seal have been enjoying a little holiday in Hawaii for the last few weeks. Heidi and Seal are awaiting the birth of their fourth child. I love these guys.
ALYSSA MILANO'S WEDDING PICS
Men all over the world lost their chance when Alyssa Milano married Hollywood agent David Bugliari last Saturday. Of her wedding, Alyssa has told People magazine, "We wanted a wedding that was reflective of who we are as a couple….My Italian family still eats Sunday dinner together every week, so we wanted to capture the same feeling with people passing around beautiful bowls of food and talking and laughing." Wednesday, Alyssa tweeted, "I'm on my honeymoon, enjoying my husband, and loving life. Be well. Smile. Until we tweet again…"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
New IT girl Amy Adams is surprisingly 35, Led Zepplin's Robert Plant is 61, Demi Lovato is 17 and Fred Durst is 39.

Hello Ladies!
BRITNEY DOES LETTERMAN
She was on Letterman yesterday evening, in a bikini because clearly August is the month Brit only wears a bikini, given she's been photographed in at least 10 in the past week or two. Anyhoo, have you seen it? If she actually wore clothes - summer in the US would end! Anyhoo she actually looked reasonable - hotter body, nice face, budget ass weave was under control. And she managed to read off her lines without stuffing it although, poor thing, the strain to read was almost too much. It's a skill she doesn't use often. Here's her "The Top 10 Ways the World Would Be Different If Britney Spears Were President."
10. I'd be the first president to wear eye shadow since Nixon
9. We would only invade fun places like Cabo
8. Free pie for everybody
7. My situation room would be a cabana at the Palms Casino in Vegas
6. I'd lure Osama out of hiding with the irresistible scent of my new fragrance "Circus Fantasy?
5. Every presidential news conference would feature costume changes.
4. America might have a more coherent fiscal strategy
3. Challenge U.S. to put nightclub on the moon by end of decade
2. Three words: Vice President Diddy
1. Finally the media would pay some attention to me.
Clearly she didn't write it - there's no mention of Frapps or Cheetos or her favourite purple drank or cheese grits…..or her little boos!
NICKY FREEZE ON PROJECT RUNWAY
She's lowering herself to television. The 6th season of Project Runway kicks off tomorrow with a two hour special All Star Challenge bringing back 8 former designers joined by Nicole Kidman herself! She'll appear alongside my favourite super model and PR host Heidi Klum to set a task. Style-wise of course Nic's well qualified. She takes risks, she is creative, she will go to great lengths to get the dress (or pretty much anything else) she wants. There's a wonderful and very true story about that memorable Dior dress Nic wore to the Oscars with the Tommy in 1997. Nic was obsessed with it. She was obsessed with owning that red carpet. Portrait of a Lady had just flopped, she needed to bounce back, utilizing her skills in the art of media manipulation and ruthless famewhoring, which she learned from the best (as I've said before, Nicole & Tommy were a perfect match). Per haute couture custom, the dress belonged to someone else, some socialite, and Nicole could not wear it without securing permission from this woman first. She was so desperate she tried for weeks to get in touch with her to no avail, and in the end she had to chase the woman up a mountain while she was skiing at some luxury resort to finally nail down the privilege of wearing it to the Oscars. Then for 90 minutes she sat in that limo en route to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, waiting for her opportunity to exit at the red carpet. For 90 minutes she had the discipline not to move, not to shift, barely breathing, so as to not disturb the fabric, to preserve her perfection for the cameras. Please. This bitch is a professional. She has every business being on the show. Project Runway premieres tomorrow night in the US. Can't wait to see video - see her face not move. Wonder how much time they had to spend lighting her…(photo courtesy of wenn.com)
ANGIE JO & SHILOH HELP THE KIDS
Back in 2006, Angie Jo & Bradley sPitt enhanced their charitable reputation when they agreed to donate a reported $4 million to children in Africa from the proceeds of photographs of a then newborn Shiloh. Part of that donation , about $10,000, went specifically to buy 72 bicycles for children in two schools in northern Namibia. In an upcoming Life & Style feature story the magazine talks to children who while having never met Angie or seen any of her movies, say she has helped give them a better future. Without a bicycle, some children had very difficult routes to get to school that would impair their studies and leave them struggling. "I had to get up at 5 a.m. and leave home in the dark to get to school on time," 16-year-old student Emiliana Shikongo told Life & Style. "It made me very tired." Using a bicycle, courtesy of Jolie, takes just minutes. "Now I can stay at school until 4 or 5 p.m. to finish my homework and still get home before dark," she said. "Now my teachers and parents are happy with my performance - already I have improved my average, and my aim is to be getting 100 percent. I know with the bicycle I can do it." One 17 year old actually said that he thinks she must be a saint! Photo courtesy of Starraks and don't you just want to squeeze those cheeks?
COLIN FARRELL IS GOING TO BE A DAD AGAIN
Colin Farrell's current girlfriend for at least the last 5 minutes, Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus, either swallowed an entire leg of ham whole or she's up the duff. This will be Colin's second bady - he already has a 5-year-old son originally named Colin with Kim Bordenave. Colin and Alicja met on the set of the movie Ondine. They have apparently been dating for 7 months. Clearly he needs to join Jude Law in some classes on Safe Sex!
RICKY MARTIN'S BOYS
Proud daddy Ricky Martin is showing off some new pictures of his adorable one year old twin sons Matteo and Valentino on Facebook & his website. Ricky says that fatherhood is amazing and adds "I'm so happy! Everything they do, from smiling to crying, feels like a blessing," Ricky also gave an interview to People magazine back when the boys were 7 months old. He was asked how is he a hands on father? His reply; I don't have a nanny. I'm doing this on my own because I don't want to miss a moment. I have a personal assistant who helps me, someone who takes care of me while I'm taking care of them, but I'm the one who changes the diapers, the one that feeds them, the one that bathes them, the one that puts them to sleep. For any parent, the first couple of months tend to get a little bit intense. On why he chose to become a parent via surroage? "Adoption was one option, but it's complicated and can take a long time. Surrogacy was an intriguing and faster option. I thought, I'm going to jump into this with no fear." And on his philosophy for raising his sons? "I love to read books to my sons and tell them stories. I play music for them so they develop their own personalities. I want to give them information and raise them with honesty and love, and give them self-esteem and a lot of acceptance". Gush. I just love him more now!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
John Stamos (aka Uncle Jesse in Full House and Dr. Tony Gates in OOHAA ) is 46, Former Friend Matthew Perry has hit the big 40, Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer) is 44, and Bill Clinton is 63.

Hello Ladies!
A DILEMMA & A NEW POLL QUESTION: Those of you who are one of my gorgeous friends on Facebook will know that I'm currently madly hooked on the first season of True Blood. But I have a dilemma. While Lafayette is my favourite character and I would LOVE to have a friend like him IRL, I'm thinking Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) is a bit of a hottie. However, therein lies my dilemma. You see 'Eric' bears an uncanny resemblance to my fifteen year old son's bestie, who's father happens to be called Eric! Is that too weird or can I put him on my To Do List?
SEAN PENN & ROBIN WRIGHT PENN DIVORCING
Page Six (of NY Post) is reporting that it's over. Again. Again. You just know the lady at the court who handles the divorce papers is sick of seeing both of their names. Girl just rolls her eyes and stamps the paperwork but keeps it close just in case they change their minds again. But for Robin's sake, I hope it sticks this time. Sean took time off from work back in June, backing out of a couple of projects to spend time with family but despite giving it one last go and changing their minds on divorce for the second time, they have not been able to keep it together. Robin filed for The Big D on August 12th in Marin County, CA. They list "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split. The documents also state that they will share custody of their 16-year-old son Hopper Jack. Robin is not asking for spousal support. Robin gave an interview for the September issue of US magazine More and of her marriage she said, "There's no limbo anymore. There's no time. I'm too old for this s—t." She also said, "I hit that crossroad a while ago—for Robin, the 'I know what I don't want' [sign] was flashing neon lights…I have no regrets. I, we, have two amazing children we raised together." Sean Penn - Great actor. Sh-tty husband who it's well documented was unfaithful over and over…although some say this part was allowed. He certainly was never been terribly worried about hiding it. Next up - Sean's has a movie with Brad Pitt, directed by Terence Malick, Tree of Life which is expected to be released at Christmas. Christmas movies with that kind of depth are usually meant for awards season. Professionally then, as usual, Sean is very well taken care of. On a personal level - imagine if he brought Madonna to the Oscars?
AMERICAN IDOL JUDGING
Shania Twain is part of the American Idol family. She's the latest luminary to participate in Idol's very own version of musical chairs, having agreed to join Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson & Kara DioGuardi in Chicago for two days this week. Shania certainly knows a thing or two about selling records, joins Victoria Beckham (puhlease), Katy Perry & Mary J Blige (but not Jessica Simpson as rumoured) as guest judges for the show's upcoming ninth season, which—in case you hadn't heard—will be its first without Paula Abdul. Idol producers have said they're planning to keep the four-judge format they introduced this year, though no names have surfaced as possible permanent replacements for the inimitable Abdul. Meanwhile, rumors have surfaced that Abdul and her former bosses have since returned to the negotiating table, but there's been no official indication that a reconciliation is likely.
KATY PERRY HAD A DREAM
When she was a little girl, Katy Perry had a dream. She aspired to have big boobs, so she said her prayers and has claimed she was rewarded. She said: "I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a nine-year-old, saying my prayers and asking God to give me boobs that were so big that if I laid on my back I wouldn't be able to see my feet." "Eventually that request was granted. She also said that every time before she goes on stage, or out where she knows there will be a lot of papps, she grabs a skipping rope and spends about ten minutes, fully clothed, skipping. She says she resembles Rocky training but it's a way to ensure everything is in place and there won't be a wardrobe malfunction with the girls getting out to do a show of their own! How is it that the Lord gave Katy the boobs she wanted, but I'm not married to Lenny Kravitz? Life is just not fair.
CELINE DION IS PREGNANT
Word on the block is that Canada's ambassador of cheese, 41-year-old Celine Dion is pregnant with her second child. The Journal de Montreal (via The Montreal Gazette) says that Celine and her 300-year-old husband, Rene Angelil, conceived with the help a team of fertility gods (aka some doctors in NYC). Their first baby Rene-Charles, is already 8 years old and probably has hair down to his bum by now! So get ready for the gushing and sharing because she's not due until next May! And we know no one feels or loves like Celine. I love Celine. SO much. She's like the upsized version - like extra frosting on the cake and she is the queen of over-informing.
INCEPTION SNEAK PEAK
When I went and saw Terminator Salvation I felt like I'd seen it already because of all of the sneak peaks we'd seen here on Pandorasblog over the months leading up to it's release. So here's my new POLL QUESTION: Do you want sneak peaks of new upcoming movies or would you rather not see what it's all about - me, I'd rather not from now on, but I'm happy to oblige if you like your sneak peaks. Anyhoo, here's Leonardo & Ellen filming a dramatic explosion scene in their new movie Inception in Paris yesterday. In this carefully coordinated stunt, a car explodes beside the pair as they eat outside at Cafe Debussy. Ellen's character looks oddly unaffected by the debris flying all over the place but apparently she eventually falls off her chair. Leo's character definitely looks troubled!
OUR HUGE
Here's OUR Hugh Jackman out and about at Joe's Coffee in the Village (NY). He's currently preparing for his play, A Steady Rain, with K-Mart 007 Daniel Craig. Loving his look. You?
OUR RYAN KWANTEN
LOVE TRUE BLOOD. In season one (which I'm watching now) of HBO's True Blood, OUR Ryan Kwanten's (Leah's departed hubby Vinnie on H&A) character Jason Stackhouse has sex next to a Dumpster, suffers a drug-induced Viagra style perma-erection which results in him having to have blood removed with a needle, was accused of murdering four women, and got swept up by a religious cult. Oh, and he was nakey (or at least partially) in eleven of the twelve episodes. "I led the way in the sexual-shenanigans department in the first season," says Ryan (32). Thankfully while other TV networks are struggling to keep shows afloat, True Blood's viewership has doubled, easing HBO out of its post-Sopranos slump and assuring Ryan that he'll remain employed in the immediate future. Anyhoo, thought you'd like some pics……from the next issue of GQ.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Edward Norton and Christian Slater have hit the big 40, Robert Redford is 73, Kurt's daughter Frances Bean Cobain is 17, Madeleine Stowe is 51, Patrick Swayze is fighting on and now 57, and Roman Polanski is 76.

Hello Ladies!
GERARD BUTLER NAKEY
In a scene from his new movie Law Abiding Citizen, Gerard Butler kneels down butt naked and surrenders to police. It's a thriller about a brilliant sociopath (Gerry) who orchestrates a series of high-profile murders that grip the city of Philadelphia following the death of his wife and daughter - all from inside his jail cell - and the prosecutor (Jamie Foxx) assigned to his case, and partially to blame for the killer getting a reduced sentence, realizes he is the only one who can end the reign of terror. So looking forward to seeing this movie and watching Gerry play a kick ass bad guy! YOU TUBE: Law Abiding Citizen Trailer [HD]
IN OTHER NEW MOVIE NEWS
Fresh from his relaxing little break in Ibiza, Leonardo DiCapri has skipped over to Paris to start shooting scenes for Inception with Ellen Page (Juno) and Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies, Big Fish) which will be directed by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Insomnia). The plot for Inception is being kept super secret, no details have been provided the only description is "a contemporary sci-fi thriller set within the architecture of the mind". And you have to admit, the film's cast is impressive. Marion Cotillard has an Oscar, Leo and Ellen are nominees, Michael Caine is also appearing as well as Cillian Murphy (bad guy in Red Eye, 28 Days later, The Dark Knight - Scarecrow), Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon Levitt (3rd Rock from the Sun - the kid & 10 things I hate about you). Inception is set to be released on July, 2010.
GWYNETH PALTROW
Seems she's the giant cloud blocking everyone's sunshine once again, this time on the set of Iron Man 2. A source has spilled that even the crew scurried like roaches every time the Ms GOOP entered the building. A source said, "Gwyneth is extremely cool at work. She's just a step above professional, too snobby. Gwyneth is not friendly to anyone, and tends to make people feel awkward and uncomfortable. She wasn't outright rude to Scarlett, she just didn't ever speak to her. Gwyneth went out of her way to avoid Scarlett, and they had zero contact, at Gwyneth's choosing." Oddly the crew loved hanging with her husband Chris Martin. The source went on to yap, "Much of the crew didn't mind hanging out with her husband, Chris, but if Gwyneth ever came around, they scattered! Chris is so chill and relaxed and she is just the opposite. Chris has been a crew favorite since the filming of the first movie." And I know all of these "Gwynnie is annoying" stories are plentiful, but I just love them! I can totally picture the crew having a gazillion laughs with ScarJo when all of a sudden Gwynnie the sanctimonious snot slithers into the room causing everyone to come down with a case of the sads.
Buon Compleanno Madonna!
Yesterday in Italy, Madonna celebrated her 51st birthday by spending the day on a yacht with Jesus, her kids & hangers-on. And once they got on board the yacht, Madge changed into her sexy swimsuit and made out with her own personal Jesus in front of everyone. Seriously, this whole thing looks slightly trippy. I mean, Madge's veiny log arms, her boardies, Jesus, the fluffy white dog, the pose on the row boat with the children, the old timey parasol....odd. Madonna then celebrated at a dinner party in Portofino with Jesus Luz. In the soft candlelight, and having chilled out a little on the face work, Madge easily, from this blurry pap distance, looks 10 years younger. Anyhoo, in true Madonna form, she can see that she's being watched, positioning near a window, and while she was being watched, she and Jesus shared a few affectionate moments, and she fusses over him, given the loving couple that they are……
PEREZ HILTON GET'S HIS FACTS WRONG - AGAIN
This may come as a shock to you but the self-proclaimed "Queen of All Media" Perez Hilton has pissed off another celebrity! This time it's a report he put up on his website yesterday about Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (who he refers to as Asslee or Ass) and an supposed public domestic she had with her husband Pete Wentz on Saturday night at the one-year anniversary of his Chicago bar, Angels and Kings, even going so far as to suggest she needed rehab. Perez even quoted eyewitnesses who reported that a supposedly boozed-up Simpson-Wentz instigated the row, telling the father of her child he was acting "horrible." And, said Perez's witness, "She made him leave his own party early." But Ashlee's taken to Twitter to bitchslap Perez for his BS. See below. Well put and no doubt will.i.am can vouch for that!
TWILIGHT RUMOURS DISPELLED
RobPatz and Kristen Stewart went to a Kings of Leon concert on the weekend in Vancouver, with a bunch of their co-stars. As you can see from the picture, they were quite 'cosy'. It's been speculated that they were just talking closely due to the loud music, but there was a pash - trust. So then there was a post on a blog over the weekend that Rob's secretly engaged to some mystery girl - not true. And when the pictures of them kissing at the KOL concert emerged, the post came down lickidisplit! It's Rob & Kristen. Like we've known for some time. They're not going to come out publicly as a couple any time soon, and that's probably just the way Summit likes it. Look at all the press the speculation is getting, and also, if they don't confirm they are a couple then there's no need to confirm a split and tarnish the image of Bella & Edward if it doesn't work out. There's also been rumours that Rob is worried Kristen is going to run off with Taylor…..this is probably coming directly from someone at Summit - because if you think about it, they're trying to push Bella & Jacob given that's the whole storyline for New Moon - which has already been filmed so the whole Kristen / Taylor spending time together thing as been done for months - they're now filming Eclipse which Rob is very much a part of. Also it's been widely reported that Kristen loves Taylor like a little bro. So there you have it - we're all up to date on all things Twilight.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Belinda Carlisle is 51, Marky Mark's little bro Donnie Wahlberg has hit the big 40, manwhore Sean Penn is 49 and Robert De Niro is 66.

Hello Ladies!
GEORGE GETS SNAKEY
Georgie Clooney is furious after papps allegedly snuck into his Italian Lake Como compound and snapped a photo of a topless 13-year-old girl who was a guest at his villa. "I don't know about the law in the United States but in Italy it's illegal for photographers to climb over my wall and to take long lens pictures of a 13-year-old girl in her bedroom," the star said in a statement to TMZ (who were most likely just outside the compound angling for the money shot). "I draw the line of privacy at that." No lawsuits have been filed yet. George found out about the surreptitious snaps when they turned up in two tabloids. There's also pictures of the 48-year-old actor and his latest chicki babe, 30-year-old Italian beauty Elisabetta Canalis, sunning themselves. Word is that the Clooney-hunting paparazzi are so bad that Lake Como's mayor is going to fine groups of four or more outside Georgie's home (be it photographers or stalkers) $30 a person.
THIS ONE'S FOR YOU DYLAN
You can't blame Trace Cyrus for having attitude. But don't let his "look" deceive you...while he's definately the black sheep of the family, he has to contend with being the older brother of Disney's most famous pole dancer! He's probably the least affected by all the fame, and he's definitely my favourite Cyrus! Trace & his band Metro Station have been busy touring all over the place, but in his down time he still finds time to Tweet pictures of his many tats and also have a bit of a Twittermance with another Disney commodity Demi Lovato. But once they hooked up IRL - it all went downhill fast, and they had a big Twitter domestic (what word would that be??). This time, he's spilling his thoughts on the Jonai in September's issue of American mag Details. He says, "I'm not trying to clean my image to make anyone happy. I could have gone the route of the Jonas Brothers. Those guys can't live their lives freely. They have to put out this image that's totally fake." (LOL!) And he adds, "I don't think any of them would be much trouble. I'd never lay a hand on Nick—I love that kid—but the other two better not get in my way." LOL again - he'd totally kick their wholesome little butts!
MY WEEKEND OBSESSION WITH TOMMY & STEPFORD KATIE
Considering we all saw them have a very public domestic on Thursday, I was waiting for it, you could almost bet money on the appearance of some staged photo ops to kill any splitsville rumours! You see, as I've said before, Tom & Nicole were a match made in heaven! Any time you get a bad picture of her - there's a happy family/freshly styled & made up pic of her within days. Watch next time. Anyhoo, these pictures surfaced on Friday and over the weekend of Tommy, Katie and Miss Suri Cruise and you'd be forgiven for thinking that they almost look like a normal happy family! But then my brain kicks in and reminds me of the rumoured contract, the possible programming, the whisper of a lobotomy and the nuttiness exuding from Tom at any given moment. Katie's system needs to upgrade to the new Windows, because she is looking tired and miserable and according to my watch, it's almost time for Katie to pull a "Sleeping with the Enemy" and fake her death. But I don't see her being released any time soon. Not when he hasn't made a movie in two years. So in the interim, Tommy wants us to note the holding hands shots, the doting husband & father shots. And we could all be mistaken. And I was thinking….maybe they didn't have a domestic on Thursday. Maybe he was just bounding off ahead so we wouldn't notice he didn't have his platform joggers on - and we wouldn't notice the height difference?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Mila Kunis (Jackie on That 70's Show & Meg on Family Guy) is 26, Joe Jonas hits the big 20, Ben Affleck is now 37, Debra Messing is 41 - really is that all??? Princess Anne 59, OUR Jim Dale is 74! Gorgeous Halle Berry is 43, Magic Johnson is 50 and Steve Martin 64.

Hello Ladies!
TWILUNATICS CRAZINESS
Entertainment Weekly's movie preview features a New Moon cover. But it's only Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner and NOT gasp, Robert Pattinson!!! That would be because (as we know) New Moon is primarily about Bella & Jacob, but it seems the TwiLunatics are a bit put out that everyone's favorite sparkly vampire only features in one tiny part of the article, when he talks about Taylor Lautner! "It was a stress-free job for three months," says the Pattz. "All the pressure was on Taylor." So Entertainment Weekly's taking their life into their own hands by publishing a Team Jacob article. New Moon cast members have been spotted out and about in Vancouver, but not Robert Pattinson, word is he's trying to hide out as much as possible. And this is the reason. So now RobPatz crazies are saying they're boycotting the magazine because he's not included, and not on the cover, and Taylor Lautner fans are arguing in his defence. Thank God we're not like that here! Also, word is that Vancouver airport have said they never had a request for a stealth exit like the one they had to get him through when he arrived so he could avoid the crowd of Twilunatics watching out for him. One airport source said that he's literally afraid for his life. Read the comments - http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/08/13/twilight-new-moon-preview/
DISTRICT 9
E! calls it District Awesome! But here's my review in case you're thinking of seeing it. It's a Peter Jackson (LOTR) movie, and it's a sci-fi story that takes place in the near future where aliens have arrived but appear starved, aimless and unable to get their spaceship back home (it is strongly implied that they're antlike worker drones who've been separated from their colony leaders). The aliens are nicknamed "prawns" due to their perceived resemblance to bottom-feeding crustaceans, but personally I thought they looked more like cockroaches and they're rather swiftly segregated into their own shantytown, called District 9. But even that proves too close to home for the paranoid citizens of Johannesburg, and as the movie begins, a plan to relocate the aliens after 20 years, this time to a more remote tent city, is set into motion. To save money making the movie, they used relatively unknown actors, including the lead role of Wikus van der Merwe, (played by Sharlto Copley) a nerdy bureaucrat who's in charge of serving eviction notices to the aliens, a profession made doubly dangerous by the fact that there's a brisk trade in illegal alien weaponry between the prawns and Nigerian voodoo gangs. When he accidentally comes into contact with some strange fluid, Wikus begins to mutate, his DNA gradually changing him into an alien. The government and other weaponry companies swiftly become interested in him since all the alien weapons are DNA-activated and no human has been able to use one until now…..So he's betrayed by his own side and experimented on which forces Wikus to make an uneasy deal with a decently friendly alien named Christopher Johnson to steal back the rest of the dangerous fluid (so Christopher, his son & his people can go home) in exchange for a cure. During the course of things, Wikus transforms from totally pathetic geek to full-on hero. Not sure if younger audiences will get the irony of the location and the segregation but it was a good movie nonetheless.
BAR'S SEXY PHOTO SHOOT
Leo's ex - Bar Refaeli Twittered some behind the scenes pics from her 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot. So now you know girls, pink mesh swimsuits are in for next summer! I'm thinking Bar's just hoping Leo sees what he's missing out on! Given he's rumoured to be swooning over Russian model Anne Vyalitsyna……Wouldn't you?
MILLA JOVOVICH DOES MAXIM
And, here's Milla Jovovich's shoot for the latest issue of American magazine Maxim. I love Milla, she's gorgeous, and as well as being an actress (The Fifth Element & Resident Evil) she's also a supermodel, musician and fashion designer….oh and a mother (she has an 18 month old daughter Ever). But, in an effort to remind you how human celebs are in REAL LIFE, I've included a picture of Milla exercising recently. Just so you know that with airbrushing and a team of professionals - you too could look this good! Word is she's getting married to her babydaddy, Director Paul Anderson later this month.
NEW ECLIPSE NEWS
Twilight has confirmed another addition to their Eclipse cast. Oscar nominated Catalina Sandino Moreno will join Eclipse as Maria, making her officially the most beautiful vampire so far. She was Maria in Maria Full of Grace. It's all part of the flashback component explaining the past of the Cullen family - in this case Maria was the vampire who recruited Jasper.
PHOTO ASSUMPTION
You know it's my very favourite game! Photo assumption! Drawing conclusions basely solely on a photo! Here's Tom Cruise in Melbourne with Katie Holmes and Miss Suri Cruise. According to the photographers, Tommy made his wife and his daughter wait for him, with a gesture, while he chatted up some fans. Katie was all snakey by the time he returned. They supposedly snapped at each other, heated words were exchanged, and then he appeared to storm exasperatedly up the street while she trailed behind. I know Photo Assumption is questionable but these photos are much more telling than the usual, especially since he normally acts like everything is perfect and he's the doting, tender husband. And now he's walking ahead of her, running his hands through his hair. You know it must be bad if the Tommy can't hold it together, especially in front of papps. Once, some guy spit on him on a carpet and Tom managed to stay relatively calm. So this body language, this obvious frustration, and her permanent scowl…could Katie be stepping out of line? Is her auditing wearing off? Too much time in Australia by herself perhaps? Bet he sends her back for re-programming soon. Not that you can blame her - I'd have one hell of a short fuse if I had to spend more than half an hour with the guy. Watch for photo opps showing happy families….
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Hello Ladies!
MEGAN FOX - ELLE MAGAZINE
Ok, I've seen more pictures of Angie Jo from the Basterds premiere and she is looking a bit haggard due to that whole frail skinny look…..and then I saw these out takes from Megan Fox's June shoot for Elle magazine…..and while she's a complete dumbass and consistently says stupid things - maybe, just maybe she's on her way to knocking Angie Jo off that goddess pedestal. Thoughts?
AUSTRALIAN IDOL WANTS PAULA
Idol wants Paula Abdul. No, not American Idol, Australian Idol. Word is Paula has been offered a deal to join OUR Idol - in writing even! But ABC is still pursuing her heavily for Dancing With The Stars. So time will tell which way this "in demand" lady will go! Personally I can't see her moving to Australia. Oh, and did you know the American Bloggers didn't even know we had our own version of Idol?? Reminds me of when I first signed up for Facebook and a Canadian relative was shocked we had it here!
ELLE HAS A NEW ROLE
OUR Elle Macpherson, who's 46 I might add, was snapped Tuesday on the NY set of the upcoming TV series, The Beautiful Life, which is the new show that was delayed because it's starring troubled Mischa Barton who had to have that enforced LLD (little lie down) in a clinic a couple of weeks ago. Anyhoo, Elle plays Claudia, an 80s model-turned-agency owner. BTW the outfit she's wearing, was designed by none other than Vicky B.
THERE'S A GLIMMER OF HOPE
Ryan Gosling - (motorbike pics a few days ago…) is definitely on my To Do List. The Notebook junkies will remember the days when Rachel McAdams and her on-screen Notebook star were an item in real life too…..and who can forget when Rachel and Ryan rushed across the MTV stage and gave us a kiss to remember forever…recreating their famous kiss scene from The Notebook. It ended eventually and for a while there, especially this past earlier this year, it looked like The Notebook had been burned beyond recognition. Rachel seemed completely in love with Josh Lucas - kissing on the street, lots of PDA's, apartment hunting in the Village. But it was passionate yet short lived. Because word is they've split. So McGoslings everywhere are in a frenzy of hope. Could there possibly be a reconciliation with Ryan? The door is open. But it might not stay that way for long. Ok, yeah, but isn't this the best clip EVER? The way he's leaning back when their names our announced? And then when he points to her across the stage and gestures for her to come to him? Please. I won't tell if you watch it twice. I did. YOU TUBE: The Notebook MTV Best Kiss Award
BONO'S WIFE SUES STELLA McCARTNEY
This definitely has to be one of the more bizarre celebrity feuds yet. Bono's wife Alison Hewson is having a major domestic with fashion designer Stella McCartney, wait for it, over the word "nude." Seriously! I couldn't make this shizzle up! Seems Alison and her business partner Bryan Meehan, have an organic food chain Fresh And Wild and a skincare range called Nude Skincare (which has Helena Christensen as a devotee) and they're suing Stella's company over the use of the word nude in her new fragrance Stella Nude as well as a whole "nude" theme for a new collection of designs. Naturally (get it?) there was an insider ready to dish, "Nude Skincare is suing for compensation, not with anything to do with the new scent but because of branding and the use of the word nude," an insider told The UK Daily Mail newspaper. "It would be quite funny if it weren't being taken so seriously - there are other perfumes with similar names after all," adds the insider. But the nude theme is a large part of 37-year-old McCartney's fashion brand and she has already created a collection of designs based on nude flesh tones which will feature models parading in them from head to toe. Word is Stella's company is hoping to settle the matter out of court.
PROMO PIC FOR GERRY'S NEW MOVIE
Gerard Butler in one of the new posters for his new movie Law Abiding Citizen, which is out in October. Here's the synopsis: Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is an upstanding family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice (and that tool Jamie Foxx), a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections, Nick is forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. — Fast forward ten years — The man who got away with murder is found dead and Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt. Then he issues a warning to Nick: Either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family, or key players in the trial will die. Nice.
ECLIPSE NEWS
If you've read Eclipse, you'll know the reason Rosalie Cullen is such a heinous biarch most of the time. It has to do with her former fiancé Royce King, who's a bit of an ass. Anyhoo, word is one Jack Huston has been cast as Royce King. He's also set to star in new witchy series Eastwick. He's a bit like a young Johnny Depp don't you think?

Hello Ladies!
BRAD N ANGE AT LA'S INGLORIOUS BASTERDS PREMIERE
Angie rocked another LBD (little black dress) and she was not the benevolent earth mother last night. No, there were hints of the badass vixen. And when Angie puts in the effort to look good, there really is no one else. Brad took Angelina out for dinner on Saturday night and it was a precursor to last night's Inglourious Basterds premiere - she glowed with very little makeup out on a grown up date with her man to an Italian restaurant. For months now we've been forced to endure the comparisons…Megan Fox is the newer, younger, sexier Angelina Jolie? Puhlease. Face to face straight up, it's not even a discussion. Loved the dress, LOVE the shoes, love the darkened eyes, and especially love the unkempt hair. Kinda like her hair was an afterthought because they were too busy getting it on in the limo on the way over, and all she had to do was slip on her leather and throw on some lipgloss and she still brought the drop dead gorgessity to the carpet. They totally dominated the carpet, and word is the Brange cranked it up and worked their magic, teasing photographers, signing for fans, jumping on a tourist bus to say hello, there was a lot of ass rubbing, whispering, nuzzling - at one point he leaned in to say something to her then caught her ear in his mouth and gave it a yank. This is how you own a carpet. This is why they are not breaking up any time soon. Trust. Then there was the after party…. They apparently held court in a corner, where they chatted with Bradley's costars & other power players like Eli Roth (horror movie director, Hostel & Hostel II, Cabin Fever….), B.J. Novak (The Office & Knocked Up) and Christoph Waltz (an Austrian actor who actually won Best Actor Award at Cannes for Basterds), who steals every scene he's in as Nazi tyrant Col. Hans Landa. Diane Kruger scandalised everyone in a very teensy-weensy dress (with such a low back that gave several onlookers a peek at her plumber's bum). Angie Jo was also spotted chatting to Camryn Manheim (Ghost Whisperer), and again Brad and Angie were pretty much inseparable—with their arms wrapped around each other—for most of the evening. They even snuck in a few smooches, too. The parents of six headed home shortly after midnight. Cause that's the thing - no matter how hard you party, or how late you get home - the kids are still going to wake up at the crack of dawn and want your attention!
OUR HEATH'S LAST MOVIE
YOU TUBE: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Trailer HD
As we all know, the Dark Knight wasn't his final gig. Heath died halfway through shooting his role in the fantastical Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, directed by Terry Gilliam. His friends Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell stepped up to make sure his final work could be completed, playing various transformations of Heath's character Tony as he travels through a dream world. This is the film where they donated their earnings to little Matlida. The movie is due out around Christmas. Such a waste.
JENNIFER HUDSON HAS A BABY BOY
She never actually publicly confirmed she was pregnant, although it was blatantly obvious at MJ's memorial service. Partly due to privacy, some of it was superstition, but most of it had to do with the terrible tragedy she and her family underwent last October. The murders of her mother, brother and nephew were beyond comprehension. But Jennifer, who is basically a positive person, turned lemons into lemonade. She and fiancee Otunga conceived a child soon after the episode. Anyhoo, Oscar winner and "American Idol" star Jennifer Hudson gave birth to a bady boy late yesterday. His name is David Daniel Otunga, Jr., named after his father and Hudson's fiancee. The baby weighed in at seven pounds, fourteen ounces. The proud parents didn't know the sex of the baby in advance. They bought blue and pink clothes, just in case!
NEW MOON NEWS
YOU TUBE: 14 Seconds Preview of New Moon
Catering to the ravenous appetites of the Twilight fans, Summit Entertainment is serving up some appetizers: the studio this week is slated to release a pair of trailers to the public in building up the hype machine for the highly-anticipated second installment in the Twilight series. Meanwhile Twilight hottie Ashley Greene (who plays Alice) is putting up a fight regarding photos of her posing naked which leaked onto the internet on Monday. A lawyer for the actress sent out a statement saying Greene would "take legal action" against anyone who chooses to publish them. "The photos in question, which appear to be of our client, are illegal and are being unlawfully displayed," The statement read. "Our client intends to take legal action." But wait, there's more, in another statement the lawyer confirms that the actress owns the copyrights of the photos and thus maintains the "exclusive rights, among others, to reproduce, distribute, and to display the photos." Hmmmm, gee, now she's grabbing a chunk of the attention off her other more popular Twilight co-stars…..all in the same few days that she's "caught" kissing GG's Chace Crawford in the back of a limo the morning after Teen Choice Awards……someone's basking in the limelight if you ask me!
NOT EVEN BORA BORA IS SAFE
Parisite has swanned on over to Bora Bora now - on a yacht with Douggie…..and THAT STUPID HEADBAND thing still going on! Argh!!!!!
HALLE BERRY - PREGNANT OR BLOATED?
There's rumours flying around the web that Halle is pregnant with her second bady. Halle & her French Canadian supermodel babydaddy Gabriel Aubry DID say they might give it a whirl in 2009… So she's been snapped wearing a loose-fitting dress on the weekend in LA - but we all know that doesn't prove anything. So, what do you think? Baby bump - or is Halle just bloated like every other woman on the planet from time to time?

CHELSEA HANDLER - Love her! Chelsea's show Chelsea Lately won Choice Late-Night Show, and when accepting the award, she joked, "I'm always honored to be included in anything that involves the Jonas Brothers and their rings."
MILEY CYRUS
At Sunday night's Teen Choice Awards, Miley (who one overseas blogger calls Jailbait), who won 6 awards, showed all the little kiddies how to shimmy up a pole on top of an ice cream cart. Yes, a pole on an ice cream cart! Where were her parents you ask? They were in the audience, where else would they be? When Billy Ray wasn't posing and pouting with his soul patch, he and his wife were in the audience applauding. Here she is, 16 years old, standing next to Fergie, really, it's like they're almost the same age. A compliment for Fergie, a shame for Miley. But wait, there's more...What's worse than a 16-year-old pole dancing on national television? A 9-year-old pole dancing at a Hollywood club (that'd be Miley's 9 year old sister Noah, and there's even a video doing the rounds from last week). Someone alert their parents via Twitter!
FASHION WINNERS - Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene & Emma Roberts (Nancy Drew, Hotel for Dogs).
FASHION LOSERS - Megan Fox (not even close to Angie Jo) & Britney Spears (with all that money this is what she wears - and shouldn't wear short dresses and what's with the crappy extensions?)
TEEN CHOICE HOOKUPS
Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) headed back to Vancouver the morning after, but before leaving she said goodbye to Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl). With her lips. And his eyes are closed…probs because…he's imagining she's RobPatz (not true, I can't back that up)! Wonder if they slept or if he kept her up asking a million questions about Robert Pattinson's favourite colours. Ashley was last linked to Adrien Grenier - smart to get rid of him with all his Parisite history. Before that Ashley was also getting down with Ian Somerhalder from Lost and now The Vampire Diaries for an evening in Vancouver. So
Twilight has its very own Manseater. You go girl. She's in control, she calls the shots, she walks when she wants to. Love it!
RobPatz & Kirsten - zipped off together, skipping most of the press commitments for Entertainment Tonight were fulfilled by their fellow cast. But while they were at the awards they were separated by Taylor Lautner (as usual), but during commercial breaks they managed to squeeze in plenty of time to share a few laughs. Also, "Girls kept running up to Rob asking to get pictures with him, and he was so nice about it," said a source sitting near the couple inside. "Rob would smile and meet all of the giggling girls while Kristen would look on and just laugh about all the attention he got. Some even asked if the two were an actual couple, and they would just shoot each other a look, blush and start giggling."
JOY & WHOOPI CELEBRATE
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is now officially on maternity leave after popping out a baby out yesterday afternoon in New York. UsWeekly says that Elisabeth and her husband Tim now have a baby boy they named Isaiah Timothy. Isaiah is the third Hasselbeck child after 4-year-old Grace and 20-month-old Tyler. Whoopi and Joy because now their ears will be getting a little vacation from Elisabeth's narrow minded opinions, and constant pouty whining.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hello Ladies!
SOMEONE TELL JT HE CAN'T ACT
Kind of makes me think of some of those contestants on Idol last night. Why haven't their friend's and family told them the truth? You can sing, but in a non-competitive, non-idol kinda way….? The same goes for that little pipsqueak Justin Timberlake. He's great on Saturday Night Live doing comedy sketches. But on film…well…it's almost embarrassing. Really, really, REALLY embarrassing. Just like his mentor Madonna, there's the ego, the complete faith in that God given talent, and he wants it so badly. It's not enough that he can sing and write and dance and produce. He needs to own acting too. By owning acting he can sit on top of that mountain and call himself the King. But alas he FAILS. Madge failed. They simply cannot conquer it. You might say that Pip has time, that he can learn and develop into a better actor. Please. Justin Timberlake can only be Justin Timberlake. He can't BE anyone else. This is Madonna's problem too. But they will NOT give up. Unfortunately for us, he'll keep trying to act. And he will keep sucking at it. Watch and tell me what you think. YOU TUBE: The Open Road Trailer
Lady Gaga
There's a whole lot of hooha at the moment, regarding Lady Gaga and based on a little snippet from a concert where something appears to pop out from the side of her costume……I'm not getting into it, I have my standards, and quite frankly I wouldn't put it past her to paste one on in order to get more attention! Which she now has. But for your viewing pleasure - if you're remotely interested, check out….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUlSCpURc3M&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Edlisted%2Ecom%2Fnode%3Fpage%3D1&feature=player_embedded
HOW FAR SHE'S FALLEN
Lindsay Lohan recently did a photo shoot for next month's cover of UK Elle. You know….that photoshoot where those jewels went missing. But the best is what the editor Lorraine Candy has written about the experience in her standard monthly address: "Lindsay Lohan wrote me a note during this month's cover shoot. It read: 'Let's do it again some time.' I've put it on my office wall because, in all honesty, I don't know if I could. This was the most unpredictable, and confusing shoot in my magazine career. First, Lindsay was about to arrive. Then she was in Paris. She was almost on set, then she disappeared into her hotel room. She was ready for her interview, then she had to have a fake tan! But we got there." Of course this stuff happens all the time. And Lindsay's certainly not the only one who pulls it. Press are forever waiting around for celebrities to dry out, get laid, coke up, wake up, or finish their shopping, and they just have to suck it up. There's zip you can do about it because everyone fears being banned for life, or retribution by the studio, the publicist, the manager, the business. So it's not only significant what Candy is saying here - that Lindsay Lohan is an unreliable, irresponsible, unprofessional f-ck up - but also that she is able to say it at all. Lindsay Lohan used to have the kind of clout that would protect her from exposure. The fact that she's being openly bagged, without consequence, is yet another example of how far down she has come. Sad.
SUDDENLY EVERYONE WANTS PAULA
Leaving American Idol has turned Paula Abdul into the belle of the ball! Not only is Nigel Lythgoe trying to sweet talk her into a gig on So You Think You Can Dance, but also that ABC boss Steve McPherson would love to give her a job on Dancing With the Stars. Here's what he said, "I was shocked by that decision [to let Paula go from Idol]. We would love to have her on Dancing, as a contestant, participant or judge. I think she's a huge talent. I think there's a lot made of her in terms of who she is." McPherson went on to say, "but there's a sensitivity and an emotion to her that balances out Idol, and we'd love to have a piece of that." He threw in for good measure…, "We have no formal plans...I think all possibilities are open. Really, it will depend on where her head is at." Steve McPherson also said that they were "friends from way back"….which of course translates to "we once dated."
OUR ISABEL LUCAS HAS A NEW DOCUMENTARY
Transformers hottie, and OUR OWN Isabel Lucas has joined up with her homie Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) for a new documentary, The Cove, which highlights their October 2007 visit to the notorious dolphin-killing cove of Taiji, Japan. This is the little episode that left Isabel with an outstanding arrest warrant in Japan. You can watch the movie trailer at TheCoveMovie.com
PARIS JACKSONS FATHER???
The ants are all coming out of the woodwork now, after a piece of the pie….Mark Lester, famous for his role in the movie Oliver, has tap danced over to the News Of The World, and said that Michael complained about not being able to do sexy times with anyone, because he was too scared. Michael apparently told Mark that he wanted to have children, but didn't think he could do it the natural way. That's when Mark offered up his little swimmers and Michael took him up on the offer. About two years later, Debbie Rowe gave birth to Paris. Mark said Michael never told him who Paris' biological father is. As Paris grew up, Mark slowly started to believe that they were related by blood, because she looks just like his now 15-year-old daughter Harriet. Mark said, "Paris is very pale, with blue eyes. All my daughters, apart from my eldest, are fair with blue eyes. So many people have commented on how alike Harriet and Paris look. Our families often holidayed together and staff, especially nannies, watching the children play together would say how similar the two girls looked." The last time Mark saw Michael was in London this past March. Mark also spoke to Paris at Michael's memorial in Los Angeles and he said he feels a bond with her. Mark wants some cold hard cash to know the truth, so he's willing to undergo a paternity test. Mark has tried to call Katherine Jackson, but she won't return his calls. The only thing he really wants is to be in those kids' lives. Mark ended with, "I feel it's important. I love those kids so much. We've had great times together. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing speaking out. But I'm not trying to make any claim on anything. Even if it's proven Paris is biologically mine I wouldn't see her as anything other than Michael's daughter. He raised her." Below is a side-by-side of Paris and Mark's daughter Harriet when she was 11. Hmmmmm. Maybe the cheekbones & nose???
OUR CHRIS SWAMPED BY FANS
Our Chris Hemsworth has certainly been working out in preparation for his role as Thundergod Thor in Marvel Studio's new movie, which is due out in May 2011 (you'll recall the lovely Natalie Portman will play his lurv interest). Never said he didn't look good, but hopefully he's grown a personality since his days in Summer Bay…..He's pictured leaving Canada on Friday. Lucky he's been practicing his autograph!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
OUR Eric Bana is 41, Divine Brown (Hugh Grant's car buddy) is 40, Audrey Tatou (Sophie Neveu in The Da Vinci Code) is 31, Gillian Anderson is 41, Director McG is 41, Whitney Houston is 46, Melanie Griffith is 52, Antonio Banderas is 49 and Rosanna Arquette (Desperately Seeking Susan) has hit the big 50, oh, and of course ME!

Hello Ladies!
RIP Sam the Koala. Sadness.
(500) DAYS OF SUMMER
Is coming and it looks awesome. The film is receiving great reviews and wonderful word of mouth from those who've already seen it, like many of you who've written to share the experience. There's Joseph Gordon Levitt, snappy dialogue and the fact that when they left they were still smiling. Zooey Deschanel (Elf, Failure to Launch) who plays Summer (and yes, she bears an uncanny resemblance to Katie Perry) is just gorgeous too. Her and Joe's chemistry is delightful. And word is they intend to keep working together. And if the results are like Summer, I'll watch. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsD0NpFSADM)
PHOTO SHOP AWARDS
Heinous crazy biarch, Sharon Stone knows how to stay quasi-relevant, I'll give her that much. At 51, the Oscar-nominated actress had the guts to pose topless in a raunchy leather getup for France's Paris Match. Shazza who is 51 poses sans bra for the magazine with the headline "J'ai 50 ans, et alors!" ... rough translation (ie. 2 semesters of French, many moons ago and a little help from babelfish) "I'm 50 Years Old, and Then Some!" I had another little play with Google Translator on a portion of the article and came up with this: "At 51 years old, the youngest of this small family is descended from one of the most beautiful cars of the world in his hands became mere fashion accessory." Now before you get all excited, I should warn you that Sharon's been Photoshopped to hell. My old Superstar Barbie has skin that's more natural looking than hers.
Guess he shouldn't have walked that way.
Aging rocker Steven Tyler had to be airlifted to a hospital after falling off stage and suffering minor head, neck, shoulder and, one would assume, ego, injuries midway through a concert in South Dakota last night. Liv's dad was gamely dancing around the stage in an effort to entertain the crowd while performing "Love in an Elevator" at a Motorcycle Rally, when he fell backward onto some fans. The concert was stopped and the 61-year-old Aerosmith frontman was quickly choppered over to a nearby hospital. Which means right about now, he may be thinking what plenty of people have for years: he's getting too old for this... (Insert a zillion "going doooown" jokes here). Steven suffered minor head, neck and shoulder owwies.
MS GOOP'S UPDATE
It's GOOP time again. And this week it's bloody recipes again. Summer salads. But I can feel your irritation already. Ms GOOP is so far up her own ass but thankfully, Vanity Fair agrees with us. There's a hilarious piece inspired by GOOP and yet beautifully mocking GOOP using many of her own quotes, and the funniest part, it's not that far out of context, and it hits the nail on the head when showing just how freaking insufferable she is. Here's a reminder of what she said to People.com last week: "People are so grateful that it's free. It's just nice to share what you have. And I have all this great information. It's just a gift. People want me to do all this other stuff. But right now, I just really love doing the site. I love thinking about the letters, what I'm going to write about, what kind of information we can put in there." People are so grateful that it's free. I LOVE THIS LINE. She so insightful. She's doing us a favour see? Make a salad, teach your children, let me show you how it's done, let me show you poor people how you can be closer, but not too close, to the elite. So why aren't you more thankful? P.s. she was overheard yesterday calling papps (who she courts) cockroaches.

Ryan gosling - my new sMOULDERING nerd CRUSH
Every day should start like this. Ryan Gosling (The Notebook) in a sleeveless shirt on a bike and sexy as hell. Quiet, artistic, bruding, romantic….He was at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music yesterday with some friends and then sped off on his bike. Ryan of course has his own band Dead Man's Bones. I've posted their video before I think…but just in case you missed, it's worth another look. And his voice is pure sex. Don't say I never give you anything! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGakxDyjwzc&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Elaineygossip%2Ecom%2FRyan%5FGosling%5Fon%5Fhis%5Fbike%5Fat%5FSilverlake%5FConservatory%5F%2Easpx%3FCatID%3D0%26CelID%3D0&feature=player_embedded
ROPPATZ SPOTTING
Further to my post yesterday, RobPatz was spotted speeding away from co-star Kristen Stewart's house on Thursday in a green Porsche. Interestingly, he kept the window down so you could see it was him - could that be an admittance without actually going against Summit's wishes and coming straight out with a confirmation?
BARBARA WALTERS LUSTS AFTER OUR ERIC BANA
Eric Bana has been promoting his supporting role in Funny People, and doing some early promotion for his lead role in The Time Traveler's Wife, which will be out next week in America. He only did a couple of interviews before Funny People release, but many critics and reviewers singled Bana out as the best, funniest part of the film. Funny People's director, Judd Apatow claimed he hired Eric for the role because he was such a fan his work in Munich (which bored me to tears) also because he's so good at comedy. The American's are oblivious to the fact that Eric Bana actually got his start in comedy here. Anyhoo, Bana went on The View to promote his two films, and it turns out Barbara Walters had gotten her hands on an early screening of The Time Traveler's Wife. Barbara was beside herself at being so close to her latest girl-crush, and she even asked Bana to strip down live on the show: So she starts talking about how he had so many scenes with his bum exposed, and asked if he'd be so kind as to show her how that was done, right there on the View! He politely declined. Joy piped in with "I love your accent," so he had them all eating out of his hand! Probs because he told them "I got big brownie points today because this is her favourite show and she watches it every day," he said. What's also so gorgeous about him is that he's been happily married to wife Rebecca Gleeson since 1997. They have two children together: son Klaus (10 years old) and daughter Sophia (7 years old). In one other piece of Bana news, word is the screenwriter of Time Traveler's Wife claimed that he wanted Bradley sPitt (who is one of the producers of the film) to star with Jennifer Aniston as the wife originally. My guess is that originally Bradley bought the rights to the book with an idea that he might star, but ended up giving the part to his Troy homie Eric, probs due to the whole love triangle thing, but mainly because Brad knew deep down Eric would do a waaaaay better job.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Punky Brewster aka Soleil Moon Frye is 33, OUR Melissa George 33 (way to young for all the work she's done - she was gorgeous before), Geri Haliwell is apparently 37, Director M. Night Shyamalan is only 39 & Ricky Martin's twinsies (Valentino & Matteo) are 1.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Hello Ladies!
MILEY CYRUS STALKER BEHIND BARS
The would-be Mr. Miley Cyrus (in his head) is now spending some quality time in the clink. He's an obsessed fan who claimed to be secretly betrothed to Disney's 16 year old tween queen. Mark McLeod, wait for it - he's 53, was picked up at his home Georgia, yesterday —a few days after he showed up unannounced yet again as Miley was shooting The Last Song. "We had an incident Sunday afternoon. He was down in the area where they were doing the filming and had staging equipment, asking people around the neighborhood where Smiley Miley lives," Tybee Island Police Chief Jim Price said. "We felt there was probably cause at that point to obtain an arrest warrant." McLeod went quietly and is expected to be arraigned later today, when he'll enter his plea and a judge will set bail. Last month, McLeod was busted for disorderly conduct and obstructing arrest after he trespassed onto the film's set and proclaimed that he and Miley were engaged. McLeod was eventually released from the Chatham County jail due to overcrowding, but Team Miley have been on high alert in case he returned. Ah, the price of fame.
CHRIS BROWN SENTENCED TODAY
So Chris Brown was supposed to be formally sentenced today, however, it's been postponed until 27th of August, with the Judge citing a lack of information from the state of Virginia regarding Brown's 180-day community labor service. Although it's all really just a formality - the deals already been struck. He won't do any time, and community service will be his official punishment. And he'll probably celebrate afterwards clubbing with Diddy and a bevy of chickie babes and he'll just keep on cruisin even though he's now a convicted felon who beat the shniz out of his girlfriend and has shown zippidy remorse for it. There's no sign of him being humble, sincere and apologetic and ready to make amends. It's all just too easy for him. There are girls in line, waiting to get in his bed. There are grown women, who see him at the mall or at a restaurant and beg for a photo with him. There are boys watching him, thinking this is "the man", high fiving that Chris Brown pretty much emerged from beating down his girlfriend completely unscathed. He'll probably be on stage at the Grammy Awards by next year. Meanwhile, YouTube sensations Jill and Kevin Heinz, are using their newfound star power for good instead of evil and the newlyweds now forever known for their "Forever" dance moves, want to make sure their lighthearted wedding entrance doesn't become negatively entangled with the singer of their song of choice. Clearly, they'd rather not have their nuptials associated with Chris Brown and his assault drama with Rihanna. So, instead of encouraging Nigel Lythgoe to put them on So You Think You Can Dance or other attempts to see their names in lights, the Heinzes are encouraging fans to donate to a domestic violence-related organization. "We hope to direct this positivity to a good cause," they write on their website. "Due to the circumstances surrounding the song in our wedding video, we have chosen the Sheila Wellstone Institute. Sheila Wellstone was an advocate, organizer and national champion in the effort to end domestic violence in our communities." Good on them! P.S. Have you seen the "Six Months Later" video inspired by them?
SUSAN BOYLE DOES HARPERS
Everyone's favorite cat lady with a voice like a magical fairy scrubbed up quite nicely for a spread in an upcoming issue of Harper's Bazaar, the article is titled 'Susan Boyle: Unsung Hero'. This was Susan Boyle's first big interview with a magazine (you'll recall her rendition of 'I Dreamed A Dream' on Britain's Got Talent gained her worldwide fame in seemingly record-time) and while she didn't mind being made over for the shoot, Susan said, "Maybe I'll consider a makeover later on. For now I'm happy the way I am -- short and plump. I would not go in for Botox or anything like that. I'm content with the way I look. What's wrong with looking like Susan Boyle? What's the matter with that?" Absolutely nothing I say! And while she did need a little lie down in a clinic after her loss on Britain's Got Talent, Harper's Bazaar features and special projects director Laura Brown has said that Susan is starting to get the hang of show biz. "I think Susan is getting more and more used to being in the spotlight and being on television and being photographed," Brown said. "I think, since April... you've seen her grow more polished and refined. She's growing in her confidence in what she will wear and how she will be perceived."
JUDE LAW'S BABY MAMMA
This might shock you but it turns out Jude Law's baby mama, Samantha Burke might be a wee bit of a famewhore Media agency TMZ has several photos of Jude Law's seven months' pregnant onetime hookup, Samantha, posing with celebrities including douchey womanizer extraordinaire Jeremy Piven and model Tyrese. Seems Samantha worked as a cocktail waitress in New York at a bar frequented by celebrities. Was she just posing with the famous people who showed up to get served or was this woman hoping for her own taste of fame? TMZ claims that she was more than happy to chat about her encounters with celebrities on several occasions. We're told by several sources that until recently, Burke was quite the braggart about her brushes with fame… including the steamy tryst with Law. This of course is the woman who held a press conference (as you do) to ask for "PRIVACY" in the wake of her pregnancy with Jude Law's baby. She confirmed that she's expecting his child, and has even announced the baby's gender, due date, and name - Sophia. She more than happy for the publicity, but whether she intended to get pregnant for the notoriety and fame is up to question. At least one British paper claims "Jude assumed she was on the pill" which probably means he didn't take any precautions and is just as responsible for the pregnancy as she is - whether she was scheming or not. Another story claiming that Samantha was 'innocent' before taking up with Jude, although that seems to have been planted by her people. For his part, Jude is taking responsibility and was described by Samantha's rep as "responsive and supportive." He first tried to keep her identity secret, although she didn't accept that and had to have a press conference. I wonder how much she's hoping to make from selling the first photos of Sophia to the celebrity glossies, nice down payment while she pens her tell-all memoir and does a string of talk shows.
VAMPIRES LAND IN VANCOUVER FOR ECLIPSE
Production is scheduled to commence early next week on Eclipse, the third film in the megafranchise. Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed & Taylor Lautner are already there. But, where's RobPatz & Kristen?? Well, word is they're MIA in LA - together. Both are due at the Teen Choice Awards in L.A. this weekend (along with some other key Twilighters). But for now everyone associated with Twilight is super tight lipped about their whereabouts which is a good thing.
MY RICKY MARTIN
And before you start - he's never OFFICIALLY come out of the closet, so unlike my infatuation with George Michael, there is still hope! And I can still watch "She Bangs" video clip over and over and over.....Ahem, anyhoo, he's shared this cute picture of one of his twin son's (Valentino & Matteo) first bath, which was taken a year ago. And also a picture of Ricky, who continues his awesome work in India, and the Sabera Foundation with "the coolest girls in India — Ashiya, Saida and Anuara." Ricky's shirt says "God is too big to fit into one religion" and has symbols of Christianity, Buddhism and Judaism. Love it. Must have one.
LEO, IBIZA, SUN, OCEAN & BEVY OF BABES
He claims it was never formally called the Pussy Posse. Puhlease. He and his boys rolled around hunting ass every night. It was totally a Pussy Posse. And looks like he's revived it. Leonardo DiCaprio is single. He and Bar, it would seem, have broken up for good this time. And it appears the Cammie D connection ain't happening any time soon, so he's unattached and sunning himself in Ibiza. Given he's surrounded by several gorgeous chickie babes, I'd say he's not exactly mourning the loss of Bar. He's clearly getting in a little R&R before he starts promotion duties next month for Shutter Island, which yet another collaboration with Martin Scorsese. Have you seen the trailer? It looks GOOD. YOU TUBE: Shutter Island Trailer 1 HD - Martin Scorsese Leo's never really done it for me, my affections for him which stem from his acting abilities and environmental work are on the brother/bestie buddy level. You?
RUMOUR IS PENELOPE CRUZ IS PREGNANT
What are we up to? Three months now people have been saying this? Probably because she has put on some weight recently, even though she still looks gorgeous, and she's still the one I'd turn gay for. However, on this occasion, certain bloggers are claiming to have a "sauce" who is blabbing that Penelope is four months along. Could be plausible given this photo of her promoting her new movie Broken Embrace in Germany…...and the fact that she's recently gone cold turkey and quit smoking! Hmmmm. Penelope, 35, and Javier, 40, appeared together in three films — Jamón, Jamón, Live Flesh and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
TRUE BLOOD ENGAGEMENT
On screen / off screen couple Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are getting married. They've been dating since February. "I can confirm they are engaged," Anna's rep Ina Treciokas says of the happy pair. So this is Anna's first walk down the aisle, but she'll now be a step-mom as Stephen already has two kids from a previous relationship.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Pete Burns aka Marilyn (80's pop person) has hit the big 50 and little Maddox Jolie-Pitt is already a big 8 year old! Maureen McCormick aka Macia Marcia Marcia is 53 and Neil Armstrong is now 79.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hello Ladies!
DJ'S SPRING/SUMMER 2009 LAUNCH
Miranda Kerr (with her mother) in a gorgeous Alex Perry dress at the David Jones spring/summer launch. Can just see my hubby wearing this other little number below….NOT!!
GERRY DOES THE WEATHER
During a promotional appearance on Monday on the London morning show GMTV, Gerard Butler took a break from plugging The Ugly Truth, and of course having to address the never-ending rumours of him and Jennifer Aniston getting it ON to try out his skills as a meteorologist...While taking the reigns from resident weather gal Clare Nasir, the sexy Scot stumbled a bit in his delivery, but that just made it all the more charming. I feel this girls pain. She's heavily pregnant and bloated, and she gets to appear on-screen with Gerard Butler. Similar happened to me once when I met a celeb I'd been lusting after for years, and I was sleep deprived and had a newborn baby strapped to the front of me instead of so many other times when I looked so much more together! YOU TUBE: Gerard Does The Weather
JENNIFER ANISTON DOES ELLE
Elle has landed Jennifer Aniston for their big September issue, but don't worry, you needn't pity the poor, single actress. She's here to tell you she's single and strong and she's an independent woman working hard! She says she knows what is being said about her, and she's fine with that, "I'm not going to ignore the pink elephant in the living room. It's fine. I can take it. (I'll support) anybody who is in a place that's not their strongest [but] is ready to push forward. If I'm the emblem for 'this is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life,' so be it. I can make fun of myself. And I'll bring it up as long as the world is bringing it up." But, if all that were true, what was going on with all that John Mayer garbage? If she's so secure and in control of her own destiny, the role model for single women who've had their hearts broken, why was she parading around a douchey toy boy when promoting and trying to convince us it was the real deal? Strength and independence are not her best assets - we all know it's her hair. And she definitely loves that! You watch her, she's obsessed, constantly touching it - like on the cover for this issue, in fact, here's a challenge for you. Make that your next drinking game. Put on a Jennifer Aniston DVD, throw back a shot every time she touches her hair. You'll be hospitalised after 20 minutes. Trust. And accompanying the story, Jen models the latest trend - seems shirts are so last year. You only need a leather jacket to cover up the girls - all the hot, proudly single ladies are totally doing it!
OUR HUGE JACKMAN'S NEW ROLE
Word is Hugh has signed on to appear in a new musical, Showman which will chronicle, in song no less, the colorful life of the legendary P.T. Barnum, the impresario whose talent for giving the people what they wanted led to many entertainment firsts, including the three-ring circus. The female lead is being written with an actress in mind: Anne Hathaway, who was Huge's Oscar night singing partner. Also, word is Mika is currently working on some contemporary songs for the production.
LET'S NOT PANIC JUST YET...
People, get your pink wigs & clippers ready. We all know what happened last time these two got together! As you know, Britney hit the town over the weekend, and word is she spent the night partying with former party-buddy Lindsay Lohan. But as things didn't go awry, we can conclude that the addition of Parisite Hilton is what actually makes things go BOOM. Keep her away at all costs or it really may be the end for all us. And next to Linds, how sane and healthy does Brit actually look?
NAOMI'S BEEN BEATING PAPPS AGAIN
You know haven't made it as a papp until you've been maimed, whipped, scratched or smacked by Naomi "Beat em up" Campbell! Gaetano Di Giovanni (love the name!!) an Italian photographer says he was taking pictures of Naomi and her hot billionaire love interest on the island of Lipari when the next thing he knew, she was clawing at his face. Gaetano told La Repubblica that Naomi beat him with her purse and then scratched at his left eye. Naomi's boyfriend and her bodyguards had to drag her away, so she wouldn't do anymore damage to the papp. Naturally Naomi's spokespiece has called this whole story a bunch of lies. The police in Lipari said that no report has been filed. More like the report was accidentally filed into the trash can, because even the police know not to piss off Naomi.
CANADA IS OFFICIALLY IN SERIOUS TROUBLE
Word is Parisite Hilton has been confirmed for a guest starring role on Supernatural which shoots in Vancouver. She'll apparently be playing a shape shifting demon - so luckily for her there will be no actual acting required. Coincidently, Paris Hilton's ex fiance Paris Latsis (who's no doubt been infected by the virus that is Parisite Hilton), is now in Vancouver with his GF Nikki Reed (for Eclipse), so poor old Vancouver which is already suffering from a heatwave, has no hope now.
POSH FINALLY GETS HER HEART'S DESIRE
According the UK papers the iron lady of Vogue, Anna Wintour has finally relented, and has given Vicky B her very own US Vogue cover. Word is it will be in conjunction with her next perfume launch - so most likely October. Wonder if she'll start smiling now?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
President Barack Obama who turns 48 (should have known he'd be a Leo) & Billy Bob Thornton is 54.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hello Ladies!
BLIND ITEM - I GUESS YOU GUESS
He'd strayed before with a civilian but she can handle a civilian. Their most recent rough patch however was a result of his affair with a gorgeous one hit wonder. Professional and personal lines all tangled up, especially since there was already some history between the two, and it was a humiliation that pushed the marriage to the brink. They took some time away from each other and re-evaluated and while it comes as no shock that she was willing to preserve the white picket fence his decision to end it with his paramour did surprise some who thought he was done with that life. In the end, there is still a lot of love there. And they are doing what they think is best for the kids too. All's well now. For now.3 famous people involved. Email me your guess, I'll tell you mine.
THE BIEL'S DEBUT IN GUYS & DOLLS
Jessica "I'm too beautiful to get decent roles" Biel made her singing debut in a three-night performance in a concert version of "Guys at Dolls" at the Hollywood Bowl in LA over the weekend. How did she do?? Well the LA Times called her "glowing" BUT focused mainly on her appearance than her actual performance. Theatremania however was not as generous with the praise: "Jessica Biel appears uncomfortably stiff as missionary Sarah Brown, missing all the pathos in her character. And while she does possess a pretty voice, it's shaky at times, particularly in the upper register." And little pip Justin evidently loved it because he led a standing ovation (could be he just loves Theatre) for his girlfriend and drove her home afterwards, she sat smugly in the passenger seat, holding his hand on the centre console as he drove. Here's a clip of The Biel during rehearsal and you'll particularly love that right off the top she feels compelled to throw this in there about taking voice lessons: "When I was not busy on a film…or something." She just had to remind us that she's a movie actor. Especially since she's in movies so often. Right? Like, ahh, her latest effort Powder Blue which went straight to DVD….But Jessica wants this Hollywood Bowl gig to translate into more offers SO BADLY. So far, none have materialised. She'll be working it hard though in the coming weeks. Watch. YOU TUBE: Jessica Biel sings
GEORGIE & HIS BFF'S GO RIDING
Georgie Clooney, and his new piece Elisabetta Canalis have been joined in Lake Como by his BFF's Rande Garber and Cindy Crawford. On Sunday they all went for a ride around Lake Como before parting for some quality couple time. In a couple of weeks, poor Georgie is off to join up with Matt Damon for the Venice Film Festival.
NEW MOVIE NEWS
OUR Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation) is the new hottie in Hollywood. He's set to replace Tommy Cruise and co-star with Charlize Theron (Hancock) in The Tourist, which is actually a remake of the 2005 French spy thriller Anthony Zimmer. According to Variety, The Tourist is about an Interpol agent (Charlize) in Europe who manipulates an unsuspecting American tourist (OUR Sam) in an attempt to flush out an elusive criminal who happens to be her former lover. But as I've mentioned previously, on Pandora, we'll next see him in James Cameron's Avatar which is due out in December.
FREIDA & DEV COME OUT AS A COUPLE
Slumdog Millionaire lovers Freida Pinto and Dev Patel made their first official red carpet outing as a couple on Sunday night in London. Rumour had it that they started dating while filming Slumdog, and then they were papped kissing in Isreal where the gorgeous Freida was filming a movie. They are a ridiculously beautiful couple and I love that they're private about the whole thing. Also, love the way Dev dresses. He's so tall and skinny, and this is how tall, skinny men should dress. Great pants, hipster jacket, good shoes. Sigh. I love them together.
BACK TO BLONDE WITH A TOUCH OF CRAZY
And back at the club. Britney Spears spent 9 hours taking her hair back to blonde over the weekend….after going brunette for 6 weeks tops! And to celebrate she hit the Grand Star Jazz Club in LA til 4am. She's also been engaging the papps again too, something she hasn't done since the pinnacle of her crazy times. Word is her father is loosening his grip so she's getting a small taste of freedom again.
ANGIE JO & BRADLEY SPITT TAKE THE KIDS TO MACCAS
STOP EVERYTHING, THAT'S TWO WEEKENDS IN A ROW! Parenting groups are up in arms at their poor parenting judgement! Just your average family - ordering through drive-thru, dad passing mum the order, mum & dad turning to ask the kids what they want……a swarm of papps buzzing around and Macca's staff snapping away while you wait for the nuggets…...(Photo:GSI Media)

Hello Ladies!
Watched DWTS last night. Have to say (after checking his age - and he's 22) that Lincoln's costume was impressive don't you think? Also, I'm going to put my hand up and say that I thought the gorgeous Krugs looked like she had a bit of a baby belly going on…..agree?
MARK WAHLBERG GOT MARRIED
Mark Wahlberg finally married his devoted long suffering baby mamma Rhea Durham. The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at Good Shephard Catholic Church in Beverly Hills, over the weekend. There was only 20 guests in attendance to witness the nuptials. Marky and Rhea's 5-year-old daughter Ella was the flower girl. Of course the wedding wouldn't have been complete without Marky reuniting with the Funky Bunch and stripping down to his Calvins to perform Good Vibrations as they walked back down the aisle (didn't happen I was just speculating).
LADY GAGA
That's all.
LINDS GETS A JOB
Lind's has gone back to blonde so she now looks like her mother's twin, (another blondie coming up tomorrow) and actually managed to score herself a real, bona-fide job that pays actual money! Seems she's somehow landed a role in Robert Rodriguez's next movie Machete. She Twattered the news herself. The movie starts filming in Austin in 2 weeks. And according to IMDB, this is the plot: "Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he's about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he's been set up. He barely survives the sniper's bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren't you!" The movie also stars another renowned bad girl, ex Lost girl, Michelle Rodriguez (oh and possibly that dried up old prune Steven Seagal). Hmmm, Michelle & Linds on the same set….I'm tingling with anticipation. Can't wait.
EMINIMEN FIRES BACK AT MOOOOORIAH
YOU TUBE: Eminem - The Warning (Mariah Carey Diss)
Just to get you up to speed, Em's been saying for ages they "got it on", even wrote a song about it on his Relapse album, then Nick Cannon stepped up to defend his wife's honour and Twittered a challenge to Em, then of course you remember that rainbow butterfly covered major mistake called "Obsessed" that Mimi put out (it's okay if you already forgot about it)? The story goes that the song is about Eminem, even though she's denied denied denied, that it's about him, that she's mocking him or that when she dressed up it wasn't as Em. So, as it happens, she was lying out of her glittery ass. So, now Em is snakey and has issued The Warning which was leaked to You Tube on Sunday - unusual for him to be so restrained. And he's not so shy about revealing details about exactly what went down between them. In other words, Mimi got OWNED. I'm not summarising. You'll just have to listen. It's truly the best! He also claims to have pictures, and recordings, and The Warning is to warn her to shut up…or else. My favourite line is, "But if I'm embarrassing me, I'm embarrassing you and don't you dare say it isn't true." Wonder if she'll answer….oh, and Em, release said pics to the world, stat. But make sure you pass them by Mimi's personal Photoshop team first.
SETH ROGAN USED & ABUSED BY MEGAN FOX
LOVE him and this is funny. He's out and about promoting Funny People, which opened over the weekend. The dust has hardly settled after he dissed Katherine Heigl, and now he's turned his attentions to Megan Fox. Seth was on Jimmy Kimmel Live and told a funny story about how Megan Fox rejected him. It was a first time on the show for both, back in 2007 and Megan was apparently very nervous so she went into Seth's dressing room before their appearances and asked him to stay on the couch for her segment, which he kindly agreed to. But, when she came out and he stood to greet her with a kiss, same as she'd given Kimmel, well….watch what she does….YOU TUBE: SETH ROGEN TALKS ABOUT BEING REJECTED BY MEGAN FOX
SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR'S BABY SHOWER
Mrs Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) was spotted in Hollywood on Saturday, looking gorgeous in a creamy maternity mini on her way to her baby shower. She's be loving the attention as she's just shot the pilot The Wonderful Maladies, for HBO.

Hello Ladies!
Apologies for my absence yesterday, I was teetering on the edge of the perch with a nasty virus.
A NEW VICTORIA FOR ECLIPSE
Rachelle Lefevre has been given the flick by Summit Entertainment and the role of Victoria in Eclipse will now be played by Richie Cunningham's daughter Bryce Dallas Howard (her godfather is The Fonze). Summit is saying she's been booted because she's in breach of contract for signing on for the indie flick Barney's Version. However, "Rachelle's contract says she's allowed to do smaller projects like Barney's Version," says one source. I'm immediately feeling sorry for poor Bryce. Can you imagine the backlash from the Twilunatics?? The girl is going to need some serious protection! Rachelle is saying she was aghast by Summit's decision to recast due to "scheduling conflicts" after she committed to a 10 day shoot for Barney's Version. Rachelle released this statement yesterday: "I was stunned by Summit's decision to recast the role of Victoria for 'Eclipse. I was fully committed to the 'Twilight' saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria. I turned down several other film opportunities and, in accordance with my contractual rights, accepted only roles that would involve very short shooting schedules. My commitment to 'Barney's Version' is only ten days. Summit picked up my option for 'Eclipse.' Although the production schedule for 'Eclipse' is over three months long, Summit said they had a conflict during those ten days and would not accommodate me. Given the length of filming for 'Eclipse,' never did I fathom I would lose the role over a 10 day overlap. I was happy with my contract with Summit and was fully prepared to continue to honor it. Summit chose simply to recast the part. I am greatly saddened that I will not get to complete my portrayal of Victoria for the 'Twilight' audience. This is a story, a theatrical journey and a character that I truly love and about which I am very passionate. I will be forever grateful to the fan support and loyalty I've received since being cast for this role, and I am hurt deeply by Summit's surprising decision to move on without me. I wish the cast and crew of 'Eclipse' only the very best." Soooo, given she's made Summit look like assholes, the gloves are now off. They snapped back with this little pearler, We at Summit Entertainment are disappointed by Rachelle Lefevre's recent comments which attempt to make her career choices the fault of the Studio. Her decision to discuss her version of the scheduling challenges publicly has forced the Studio to set the record straight and correct the facts.
- Ms. Lefevre's representatives were advised as early as April that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE was expected to start shooting in early August.
- If Ms. Lefevre was, as she describes "passionate," about being part of THE TWILIGHT SAGA, we feel that she and her representatives would have included us in her decision to work on another film that would conflict with the shooting schedule of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE.
- It was not until July 20th that Summit was first informed of Ms. Lefevre's commitment to BARNEY'S VERSION, a commitment we have since been advised she accepted in early June. Summit had acted in good faith that she would be available to fulfill her obligations both in terms of rehearsals and shooting availability for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. We feel that her choice to withhold her scheduling conflict information from us can be viewed as a lack of cooperative spirit which affected the entire production.
- Furthermore Ms. Lefevre took a role in the other film that places her in Europe during the required rehearsal time, and at least ten days of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE's principal photography. This period is essential for both rehearsal time with the cast, and for filming at key locations that are only available during the initial part of production.
- Contrary to Ms. Lefevre's statement, it is simply untrue that the Studio dismissed her over a ten day overlap. It is not about a ten day overlap, but instead about the fact that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE is an ensemble production that has to accommodate the schedules of numerous actors while respecting the established creative vision of the filmmaker and most importantly the story. The fact remains that Ms. Lefevre's commitment to the other project - which she chose to withhold from Summit until the last possible moment - makes her unfortunately unavailable to perform the role of Victoria in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. So, you know Summit can completely screw her. It wont make the slightest bit of difference to their bottom line. Twilight fans WILL NEVER turn away and boycott the movie! But, this whole hoohaa was over a movie with Dustin Hoffman and Paul Giamatti. So she'll get to act with some of the best.
JUDE LAW IS GOING TO BE A DADDY AGAIN
The divorced father of three is expecting his fourth child with an ex-girlfriend, who shall remain nameless for now (but it's not Rachel McAdams' younger sister Kayleen contrary to speculation, more likely another chickie babe he was seeing called Samantha Burke). "Jude Law can confirm that, following a relationship last year, he has been advised that he is to be the father of a child due in the fall of this year," the actor's rep said in a statement. "Mr. Law is no longer in a relationship with the individual concerned but he intends to be a fully supportive part of the child's life. This is an entirely private matter and no other statements will be made." Jude already has 3 kids with ex-wife Sadie Frost, Rafferty 12, Iris 8 and Rudy 6. Best be hoping there's a sequel to Sherlock Holmes!
NEW PAPP SHOTS FROM BOUNTY SET
Gerry Butler comforts a wet Jennifer Aniston after a scene from The Bounty involving a pond…..where stunt doubles fell into a pond on their behalf! Wonder what next weeks headlines will read…?
MELGIBSON'S IN TROUBLE AGAIN
OUR Mel Gibson and his knocked up Russian GF Oksana Grigorieva, were hanging out in the VIP section of a new club in La called Playhouse when a reporter from Live & Style tried to get in their faces and take a photo while pretending to be a fan. Seems, the Life & Style reporter is a determined little bitch, because she then sent her friend to take another picture. That's when the booze in Mel's veins started boiling over and he grabbed the reporter's friend and tore his shirt. That was it. Of course, the dude with the ripped shirt hot tailed it to the police station to dob on Mel for hurting him. Even gosing as far as filing a battery report. Official report from LAPD spokesman Richard French says, "Early this morning, about 1:20 a.m., a man came into the Hollywood Division police station to report that Mel Gibson had pushed him when he attempted to take a photo inside the Playhouse nightclub," says French. "The victim stated that he was not injured and an investigation is ongoing into the incident. However, initial investigation by detectives has shown witnesses who had been interviewed did dispute the account of what happened." French says he could not confirm the photographer's allegation that the Oscar winner had torn his shirt. On the plus side, nobody was called "sugar tits".
SETH ROGAN TOTALLY OWNS KATHERINE HEIGL
Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow are currently promoting Funny People, which also stars Adam Sandler and OUR Eric Bana - much to the surprise of the overseas bloggers who don't know he used to do comedy. Anyhoo, seems there's no love between Katherine Heigl & Seth, who was on Howard Stern yesterday and was thankfully asked about working with Katherine Heigl. You'll recall they did Knocked Up together, an opportunity that made Katherine a bankable movie commodity. So how did she show her gratitude for said opportunity? Oh, by telling Vanity Fair that she wasn't happy with the movie, that she did not feel proud of it, that it was "hard to love" because it was demeaned women (nothing to do of course with the fact that she's the shittiest fake cryer I've ever seen). See, this is her thing. Remember when she attacked Grey's Anatomy last year by withdrawing her name from consideration at the Emmys because she felt that the writers did not provide her with the material worthy of an Emmy. She also recently, on Letterman, told the audience that the folks at Grey's were "mean" because they made her work a 17 hour day. But turns out that the schedule was only set up that way to accommodate HER promotion commitments on The Ugly Truth which means she was complaining for something that was put in place for HER benefit. Is she a bitch? F-ck yes she's a bitch. An asstalking bitch. And Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow won't let her get away with it. Especially since The Ugly Truth isn't exactly a film women can be proud of. Said Seth: "That [movie] looks like it really puts women on a pedestal in a beautiful way." Added Judd, "I hear there's a scene where she's wearing ... Underwear ...with a vibrator in it, so I'd have to see if that was uplifting for women." When asked if it was a good excuse, that she's in press for hours and hours at a time and probably at some point loses track of what she's saying, Seth quickly shot back: "I didn't slip and I was doing f*cking interviews all day too ... I didn't say sh*t!" Seth does put it in perspective though. They weren't the only targets of her asstalking: "I gotta say it's not like we're the only people she said some bat sh-t crazy things about. That's kind of her bag now." LOL!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
OUR Simon Baker has hit the big 40! The Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger is 62, Jaime Pressley 32, Hilary Swank is now 35, Tom Green 38, Mrs Stiller - Christine Taylor is 38, ex-Friend Lisa Kudrow is 46, sexy beast Laurence Fishburne is 48 and Kate Bush is 51.

Hello Ladies!
THE THINNIFICATION OF CHRISTIAN BALE
Christian bale, method actor. You'll recall he did the same thing, punishing his body and losing nearly every ounce of body fat for his role in 2004's The Machinist. And here's a skinny Christian Bale walking around the set of The Fighter yesterday in Boston. He's lost the weight for his role as a drug addicted boxer, unlike his costar Mark Wahlberg, who has beefed up for the movie. The Fighter is "a true story of two incredibly gifted boxers who were half brothers. The one, Dicky Ecklund, who fought Sugar Ray Leonard at a very young age, when he was twenty one, was an incredible natural talent. He lived a very hard life. Then he came to train his brother, Irish Mickey Ward, to the world title." Christian will have to put the pounds back on if he reprises his role as the Bat, as apparently the next Batman movie is set to start filming next year!
CHECK THIS OUT
This video is of a 5-year-old boy playing Johnny Cash's "Folsom Street" Blues". Love his cute little accent, especially when he sings, "I shot a man in Weeeeeeno just to watch him dieeeeee." Kid is a musical genius. YOU TUBE: 5-year-old boy plays "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash
SORRY LADIES YOU MISS OUT AGAIN
Seems Georgie Clooney has given his most recent cocktail waitress (the one who couldn't keep her mouth shut) the flick and has a new chicki babe - Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis. 30-year-old Elisabetta currently hosts the Italian version of MTV's Total Request Live. And while she isn't a cocktail waitress, she fits his prerequisites, hot body, olive-skinned and oozes sex appeal. They were spotted on his bike yesterday in Milan. Yawn, but here's a juicy little tidbit for you…..a couple of years ago, blogger Holy Moly published a blind item, apparently about Georgie's kinky activities, specifically citing an evening he allegedly shared with a woman during which (STOP reading now if you're a prude) he insisted that he wanted it in her ahem, back door, and so she obliged but turned around mid-session after hearing gagging sounds only to find him still nailing her, supposedly with his tie wrapped around his neck pulled just taut enough to cause discomfort but not danger and he was totally getting off on it. It was widely acknowledged in London to be him because the woman in question - a C list tv presenter at the time - literally told every man and his dog. Wonder if he still likes it like that and if Elisabetta obliges????
THE BEIL CHANGES FEET
I know. The girl should just learn to keep her trap shut! I'm convinced the only time she opens her mouth is to change feet! So, she sat town with the LA Times to share her delusions and promote her gig at the Hollywood Bowl - she's performing in Guys & Dolls and as unbelievable as this may sound, everyone involved in the production has been raving about her "silvery" voice.
Puhlease. Anyhoo, she once again started lamenting about her 'good looks' and how her beauty has been an obstacle to success in film. Because Natalie Portman, Diane Kruger and Keira Knightley are f-cking ugly? Right? Point is, they can act, the Beil can't. But she's totally convinced she can, and she wants to be around for a long time. And unfortunately for us, if she keeps clinging to Justin, she will be! But she thinks it's her ability that will keep her on the screen long term, and she even goes so far as to liken her potential to Meryl Streep and OUR Cate Blanchett…! She says, "I want to be able to keep working until I'm 105 years old. I want the choice. It's difficult for women in general in entertainment. They peak earlier and the men peak at 30, 40. It's kind of scary. But you can't tell Meryl Streep she can't do a part. You can't say to Cate Blanchett 'I don't believe her in that.' They do anything they want because they have explored the range, which is endless for them. That's what I want." What the???? Word is she's getting really, really, really desperate for a role. She's getting pissed that she's getting passed over for project after project, her favourite excuse now is that it's Hollywood that doesn't "get" it. That Hollywood is to blame for holding back the next Meryl Streep.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hello Ladies!
STARS WITHOUT THE CORRECT LIGHTING, STYLIST, MAKEUP….
What in the name of all things holy has she done to herself??? Madge has morphed into Iggy Pop!
SURPRISE PARTY FOR JLO
This is like the 100000th celebration for JLo's 40th birthday. It was supposedly a surprise party organized by her husband, but like she hadn't guessed, given she's dressed up in a Grecian goddess dress, with her hair and makeup professionally done! Oh and the invite said, "An Evening For Lola." JLo tried to act all shocked when the car pulled up....but she should've studied the look on her twins faces whenever she makes a monthly visit to their nursery. Now that's a real surprised look! Guests included Supa Scientology recruiter and BFF, Leah Remini, Lizaaaaaa Minelli and my own gorgeous little poppet, Ricky Martin.
JESSICA RED ALERT
Jess may have been DUMPED by that tool Tony Romo but she's still pulling in the bikkies with her new frangrance called Fancy Love. Her reps pulled this littler pearler out of nowhere for a press release last month, where Jessica supposedly gushed, "Romance has never been more important to me so I wanted to celebrate that special feeling with this new fragrance." Her first fragrance, Fancy, had nearly $50 million in retail sales in its first year (2008). Oh, and she's also preparing for her new series The Price of Beauty. Meanwhile, Tony's gone all paranoid and notified the gatekeeper of his estate that she was no longer to be allowed access to his home in Dallas and a sign was posted at the entrance that reads: "RED ALERT!!! TONY ROMO HAS MADE SOME CHANGES TO HIS LIST OF PEOPLE ALLOWED IN....JESSICA IS NO LONGER ON THE LIST AND NOT APPROVED FOR ACCESS." Nice. Girlfriend may choose total tools to go out with who humiliate her when it's ova, but she's no stalker.
COMIC-CON IRON MAN 2
The stars of Iron Man 2 were out in force at Comic-Con this weekend. A preview was shown to get the crowd hyped even though it's nine months before the release. Early word is this: Iron Man 2 will be awesome. But again I ask, where's Gwynnie? She wasn't at Comic-Con, and as we know, did not feature in the special Iron Man 2 issue of Entertainment Weekly. Of course she'd turn her snooty nose up and say she doesn't care, that it was a relief not to go because she cannot bear to be away from her children even for an hour and that it's criminal to not enjoy every waking moment with them if you want to be the Best Mother That Ever Lived. But clearly they're just not inviting her to the party. And Gwyneth has never been the girl not invited to the party. I'm sure you are all throwing a party to celebrate. I am. Meanwhile, while Scarlett promoted Iron Man 2 dutifully, answering questions, posing for photos, speaking to fans, her ASS of a husband got all pouty, had a big domestic with her, and didn't go. Totally refused to show up. Warner executives are supposedly majorly pissed. Ryan was supposed to be there promoting Green Lantern. They're snakey because they went through a lengthy casting process, are investing a lot in the franchise and Ryan as the face of the franchise, and are reportedly unimpressed that, already, he's pulling the diva moves he's renowned for. But as we well know, this Comic-Con incident is just another example of what he's really like. You watch, he'll have to repent and kiss ass very soon.
OUR CATE
This is OUR Cate Blanchett with husband Andrew Upton at the Opera House for the Helpmann 2009 Awards honouring the performing arts. Cate and Andrew are currently co-artistic directors of the Sydney Theatre Company and Cate was nominated, though did not win, for Best Actress. Love her so much. And, just like any other multi-tasking mother, she's not only been managing her responsibilities in Australia, but also been busy shooting Robin Hood as Maid Marian with Rusty Crowe.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Mick Jagger is 66, Kate Beckinsale is 36, Entourage's Jeremy Piven is 44, Sandy Bullock is 45 (haven't seen The Proposal yet L), Kevin Spacey has hit the big 50, still gorgeous in a bikini Ms Helen Mirren is now 64 and the original pimping pappa Joe Jackson has just turned 80

Hello Ladies!
I SAW HARRY POTTER & THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE
And because I want to share with other HP fans, I've given those of you who'll be bored a nice little bit of eye candy further down which will hopefully help you forgive me! Firstly, so cute watching all of the romantical dynamics. And visually spectacular. And fun. And fastpaced. And if you don't want the spoilers, STOP READING NOW, although I'll try to be cryptic. Bridget Jones' dad is brilliant as Horace Slughorn - the new Potions teacher. And the funniest part I thought was when Ron ate the candy! Lavender Brown was great, and there wasn't nearly enough of Luna. Thankfully, the dark undertones are balanced with some comedic lightheartedness, which I loved. Some may think that there was too much of the romantic shenanigans and not enough plot development, not enough action. And there were parts of the book that were completely cut out and Potter purists will likely be arguing for months about whether or not they should have made more time for the fight sequence at the end, instead of allowing for much mooning and flirting. Thing is, they don't like making movies 4 hours long, at 2 and ½ hours, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is already losing at least a screening a day at every movie theatre, to accommodate the extra time. You add that up and it's a very LOT of money. Sacrifices had to be made. But having said that, I am sure I'm not alone, and my husband concurs, that we'd be happy to watch 2 movies back to back because as usual you're left wanting more, and it's 1 ½ years until we get it! Sad when Dumbledore dies, and a choking moment with how they honour him and the way they've changed it shows a better picture of how Snape has no choice…and where was Bill and Fleur? Hermione's unrequited love for Ron is just gorgeous and her bond with her bestie Harry is even sweeter. I wanted to cry when they shared a moment of sadness. Then there's Bellatrix. She's such a f-cking badass, I love her so much. Was there anyone more perfect for the role than Helena Bonham Carter? She is so satisfyingly evil, and so wonderfully unhinged? And, no one makes an exit like Severus Snape. Alan Rickman is so cool. And a sexy beast. You put these two together, and stand them next to Nicole Kidman and Bradley sPitt. Then you see what I mean about Nicole & Bradley's inability to act. How they have no scope and they are the same in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE! And finally… Harry himself. Endearing and brave, and still humble and growing up, and wise, funny and always considerate, and unfailingly loyal -as corny as this sounds, you almost feel proud of Harry. Would love to know your thoughts.
NEW NEW MOON NEWS
Ok, so as we know, the whole gang were at the Comic-Con thing Friday and over the weekend. Every single camera and every single Twilunatic was focused on Kristen Stewart & RobPatz's every movement, gesture and glance of the eye! But alas there wasn't much being given away no matter which video you watched. Studio bosses kept them well and truly apart for most interviews and press sessions, and it was largely all about Kristen & Taylor - given New Moon is largely about Bella and Jake! So here's the thing, all of these Twilunatics were hanging on every movement, hoping for a hint at something between them so you can't blame those kids for being awkward and looking like they were wishing the ground would open up and swallow them! The pairing still very much exists, but they're professionals first, and they're not going to give anything away. Here's one interview where Kristen pokes fun at RobPatz: http://www.ew.com/ew/package/0,,20213067_20214927,00.html?bcpid=27761062001&bclid=30413172001&bctid=30509199001 P.s. there's a new hottie about to hit the Twilight movies franchise, in the 3rd movie Eclipse….OUR Xavier Samuel. He's playing the newborn vampire Riley who's tracking Bella down…
SATC SPOILER
If you don't want to know - skip this item! Sex & the City the second movie - a few little bits of news….Firstly for some reason Miley bloody Cyrus, is confirmed to be on set for one day. Not known yet exactly what she's playing but you just know this'll make her head even bigger and her mouth even more annoying! Why SJP? Also, Samantha gets arrested at some point and thrown into jail. And there's a wedding…and guess who they have performing at the reception? Liza Minnelli. Bet that's for Matthew! Oh, and apparently they're having a very hard time lighting Carrie Bradshaw……and it's all about the correct lighting and angles….know what I mean? Thanks Elaine x
KATIE GET'S HAPPY
Katie Holmes' highly anticipated pre-taped appearance on SYTYCD screened on Thursday night in the US. It was to raise awareness for the charity Dizzy Feet which Katie is a supporter of. I was almost afraid to watch. And how can I put this nicely? Hmmm, so wouldn't be there doing that if she didn't have that Tommy connection, so I guess there have to be some perks to dealing with all that crazy. To me, and I'm no expert, it was more about strutting and posing than actual dancing, and there was lip synching. Odd considering it's a show where performers have to be at the very top of their game to get through. Bit of an insult to them, really. What would have been better if she wanted to help the charity, she could have either danced with a bunch of young kids that are benefiting from the work they're doing, or stepped aside and let some kids perform. A nice, heartfelt video talking about how she's been moved by the young people she's worked with would have gone a long way to promote the cause. She can't sing and she's like a little girl trying to look sexier and older! But then, I've thought she looks empty and lobotomised since she married Tommy. And the saddest part? It took weeks and weeks of rehearsing to put together….unless my theory was right and she was walking in the front door and out the back door to get away for a while…what are your thoughts??

EYE CANDY
Sit, down, enjoy your morning coffee and let me introduce you to Giles Marini. He played Samantha's womanizing, showering neighbour in the Sex and The City movie (as well as stints on Ugly Betty, Dirty Sexy Money and the B&B). He's just done a calendar and here's some of the shots. He's 33 and he's a French actor who's been happily married to his French wife, Carole for the past ten years, and he's a delicious daddy - with two kids! Oh, and he served in the French army as a, wait for it, FIREMAN!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Hello Ladies!
COMIC CON
Comic Con / Kristen / Rob / Taylor goss coming later - as it's happening right now....check back later today :-) But so far, Rob & Kristen are avoiding each other like the plague, Kristen looks like she's been dragged in through the back door by the cat - backwards and if we were to play my favourite game - photo assumption, I'd say that as much as she's linking arms with Taylor, she's leaning in towards Rob - are you seeing it??
ANGIE JO'S IN IRAQ
First up, Angie Jo apparently had her claws out when Life & Style Magazine asked her what she thought of Megan Fox…."Is she aiding in Africa or sitting in on U.N. conferences? Donating herself to something bigger than Hollywood? I'm not familiar with her work, is she an Oscar contender?" Meow! I love the way she thinks most of the other actresses are insignificant little peas! Clearly Angie's jealous because she's never been named FHM's #1 Sexiest Woman in the World? Dated an toolish original 90210 cast member… been on the cover of Pawprint Magazine, and made the Olsen's look like a couple of Meryl Streeps with her god awful acting skills? Anyhoo, Angelina Jolie took a day trip yesterday with Maddox to Baghdad. The actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador is there to speak out for aid on behalf the millions of Iraqis displaced within their own country and the 1.5 million more Iraqis displaced out of the country. This is her third visit to the country.They're there for the 24th annual Arab Children's Congress in Amman, Jordan. But they're not roughing it by any means, they're staying with Angie's BFF Queen Noor. Angie spent time with four families who were displaced from Abu Ghraib. Angie told locals,"I want to come back and find you in a better place and in a different situation. We hope that UNHCR and the government will support you in getting a piece of land. You need help not because you are poor, but because you are the future of Iraq."
JUDE'S IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW
Jude Law left a dinner party at Automat in London last night, was swamped by papps with cameras flashing and may or may not have deliberately slapped a pap. The pap says Jude smacked her on purpose. Jude says it was just an accident. This is what the pap said: "It was really loud - there was a massive thud and my face is still stinging today. It was deliberate - you could see it in his face. Maybe he didn't realize he was hitting a girl, but he could at least apologize. He hit me full in the face. It was a real stinger, it was very sore." This is what Jude's lawyer said: "This is all nonsense. Last night's incident was an accident. Jude was blinded by the camera flashes when he left the restaurant, raised his hand to shield himself and inadvertently struck somebody standing very close. He apologized and left. Pictures of this sort can often be misleading."
AMY WINHOUSE GOES TO COURT - AGAIN
Amy Nuthouse bailed her hive wig out of quarentine, plopped it on her head, had her annual bath, slipped on her freshly groomed ballet slippers and shuffled into a court in London yesterday morning to face those nasty charges of assault. Amy told the court that she was basically defending herself, because Sherene Flash (what the??) is tall and she's just a little thing. Amy agreed to take a picture with Sherene, but wanted to say goodbye to a friend first. That's when Sherene put her arm around Wino and said that her friend can wait. "She lent down all over me, she had her face down by me," explained Amy. "She's there, she's tall, I wanted her away from me. I thought 'Do I get a choice in this? Hello' People are mad, people are rude," she said. To show the height difference, the singer showed Magistrate Timothy Workman her pink flats before saying: "And my hair does make a difference." (lol) Amy also admitted that she might have drank a little champagne, vodka and white wine that night. By "a little," I think she meant she was fermented. Flash, who admitted she was 'tipsy' described Amy as being 'drunk' which was backed-up by other witnesses. The trial continues…..
GWYNNIE GIVE US COOKING LESSONS
If you want to know how to make a roast chicken try YOU TUBE: Quick Roast Chicken & Potatoes - it's Gwynnie's latest update on Goop! She shows us how she makes a "quick" roast chicken and potato dinner when she gets home from work. When in reality she meant is that she forces her maid to make it whenever her latest personal chef quits because they're fed up with her superior annoying ass. And I'm having no end of trouble with the way she says olivooooooyeeel!
MADONNA'S NEW ALBUM COVER
Here's the first look at Madonna's new album cover for her upcoming greatest hits collection, Celebration, due out in the end of September. The cover was designed by some artist known as Mr. Brainwash! I like it, it's more like the Madonna of bygone years, with a little bit of an Andy Warhol feel…..Madonna's people said this "The songs on Celebration have all been remastered and selected by Madonna and her fans. They cover the expanse of the Material Girl's extraorginary career of hits including "Everybody", "Express Yourself," and "Vogue" and "4 Minutes." "Celebration" will be available in a two CD set as well as a single CD. There will also be a "Celebration" DVD released simultaneously which includes the video visionary's best videos including several that have never before been available on DVD." Yawn.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Daniel Radcliffe is 20 - I'm sorry, because I love Harry Potter as much as the next person, but my gaydar just keeps going off whenever I see DanRad….you??? Michelle Williams "The Destiny's Child one" is 29, she who did not have relations with Bill…Monica Lewinsky 36, Marlon Wayans 37, former Buffy girl Charisma Carpenter is 39, Stephanie Seymour (41), Philip Seymour Hoffman 42, Slash is 44 and Woody Harrelson is now 48.

Hello Ladies!
Turns out 62% of you think The Beil is an 'clinging opportunist' - how bout that?
SNEAK PEAK
This is Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Here is the teaser trailer..what do you think? Will you see it? YOU TUBE: Alice in Wonderland-Teaser Trail…
BLIND ITEM - I GUESS YOU GUESS
The attorneys have finally hammered out an agreement! We're finally getting close to the announcement of a split of this couple. Have you noticed how few photos there have been of them together lately? Half this couple is on a project that requires travel. The other half joins them fairly frequently, but it's really just for the sake of the child/ren. They both have outside relationships. He has a new - albeit temporary - boy toy that his boyfriend is not too happy about. She has an extra man in her life but is afraid to be seen with him before the announcement. No need to feel bad for her, though. She is will be doing a happy dance soon enough. Dance, girl, dance!
KATIE AND SURI PLAY IN MELBOURNE
Katie Holmes plays with her daughter Suri yesterday on the set of her new film, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, being shot on location in Melbourne. Katie's pre-taped and eagerly anticipated dance appearance airs this Thursday on So You Think You Can Dance, to celebrate the show's 100th episode. Katie donated her performance fee to The Dizzy Feet Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Nigel Lythgoe, director Adam Shankman, Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba, and Katie Holmes, to provide scholarships and assistance to talented underserved youth to help them realize their dreams of becoming professional dancers.
BRADLEY SPITT
Brad Pitt is promoting Inglourious Basterds so he recently sat down with Bild, a German magazine, for a short-but-revealing chat. In the introduction, the interviewer claims that he and Brad caught up "in a tucked-away Hotel bar in southern France guarded by two bodyguards in Hawaiian shirts." So most likely this interview was conducted while Bradley was in Cannes earlier this year. They talk religion, family, bikes, beer, and jewelry. Just two guys, chillin really. Here's an extensive excerpt and I have to say I love this interview. Foreign journalists get away with anything! If it was anyone in North America, they'd be tossed out on their ass immediately, and banned from covering Brad for life. This guy goes there, he asks Brad about when he and Angelina find time to MAKE LOVE. Please! You know it's the questions all of us want to ask!
Brad Pitt: "You brew good beer in Germany." He laughs. "My sunglasses are good for hiding puffy eyes after drinking."
BILD: How would you rate your film if you were a critic?
Brad Pitt: "Lots of fun! I'm happy with it, because all the actors are great. Each one is a mini star!"
BILD: What does your wife Angelina Jolie think?
Brad Pitt: "She really likes it. She laughed a lot." (can't actually imagine her laughing - can you? P)
BILD: You play an American soldier who scalps Nazi's in a hit team and finally kills Hitler.
Brad Pitt: "Yes there's a lot going on in the movie, we had lots of fun. You have some great actors in Germany."
BILD: Who is the real Brad Pitt?
Brad Pitt: He is sitting right in front of you. There's nothing else.
BILD: Are you still a big kid?
Brad Pitt: "No I'm not a kid anymore - I have six children." Maddox (7), Pax (5), Zahara (4), Shiloh (3), and the twins Vivien & Knox (1).
BILD: Have you found happiness in life?
Brad Pitt (nodding): Hm - yes. I am on the path I want to be on."
BILD: Do you believe in God?
Brad Pitt (smiling): "No, no, no!"
BILD: Is your soul spiritual?
Brad Pitt: "No, no, no! I'm probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it.
BILD: Are you scared of ageing?
Brad Pitt (smirking): The grey hairs on his beard glisten: "No I like it. I think it's good."
BILD: What is your typical day as a dad?
Brad Pitt: "I get going early, make breakfast, get the kids dressed, brush their teeth and take them to school. Angelina is working at the moment. We take turns."
BILD: Angelina told me once about your giant bed where all eight of you snuggle up?
Brad Pitt: "Yes we have a 3 metre wide bed, but even that isn't big enough. They all come crawling in in the morning. It's just about surviving! We all have sleep deprivation."
BILD: Do you find the time to make love?
Brad Pitt (looks puzzled): What?
BILD: Is it sometimes just the two of you?
Brad Pitt: "Yes we make time for ourselves. It's very important for every relationship."
BILD: How? Do you fly off somewhere?
Brad Pitt: "That's a trade secret!"
BILD: Your answers are very short and quick.
Brad Pitt (beaming): "Ha! I'm a father of six. You have to be quick and focused."
BILD: What car do you drive?
Brad Pitt: I'm not a car person. I like motorbikes."
BILD: You are driving from Berlinto Prague?
Brad Pitt: "Yes for fun! 2 ½ hours just straight on the whole way."
BILD: How many motorbikes do you have?
Brad Pitt: "Sorry, but I've got a problem with that one". He smiles sheepishly.
BILD: Why? Too many?
Brad Pitt: "Yeah! To be honest I don't know how many I have."
BILD: Has money changed you?
Brad Pitt: "It makes everything easier, but money can also be a burden."
BILD: Do your rings have a story?
Brad Pitt: "No I just like them."
BILD: And your watch?
Brad Pitt (checks): "Yes, a Rolex."
BILD: Your necklace?
Brad Pitt: "From my girl."
BILD: What is your most important possession?
Brad Pitt: "My family - and yes a couple of my motorbikes." (his family is a possession?? P)
EMMA THOMPSON'S ADOPTED SON GRADUATES
Emma Thompson adopted an African son six years ago. It did not make headlines around the world. And he wasn't a toddler at the time. His name is Tindyebwa or Tindy as they call him, and he was welcomed into Emma's family when he was 16, a Rwandan child-soldier, newly arrived in England after fleeing the war torn country. His father had died from AIDS when he was just nine and his mother and sister were listed as missing during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, having probably been abducted and raped by soldiers. Tindy was forced to serve as a child soldier, but charity Care International eventually helped him flee to Britain, where he met his adoptive parents. They met at a Refugee Council event six years ago. I love how simply she describes it: "He didn't have much English, but we just got talking. His experience had been awful and when he finally got to Britain after tremendous suffering, he told us the authorities didn't believe him. He spent two nights sleeping rough before they finally did. It was the only time he considered suicide. He's such a lovely, enchanting boy, so I said "Come and spend Christmas with us". And he came for half the day. Slowly he became a permanent fixture, went on holidays with us and became part of the family." Well, Tindy graduated from Exeter University yesterday with a degree in politics. Emma did not pose with him surrounded by sad African children and a light shining on her beatific perfectly made up face. But she did pose with now 22 year old Tindy and the diploma, beaming with pride. Wearing a cream suit and green satin jacket, the 50-year-old actress wrapped her arm around Tindyebwa Agaba as he clutched his ribbon-tied scroll. And along with Miss Thompson's husband Greg Wise, the family proudly posed for the student's official graduation photo. Emma's currently filming a sequel in London, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. Love her so much! From September, Tindy plans to attend London's School of Oriental and African Studies, where he will study for a Masters Degree in Human Rights Law.
RDJ SUPPORTS HIS WIFE
Robert Downey Jr accompanied his wife of four years, Susan Levin to the premiere of her new movie, Orphan (about a couple who adopt a daughter only to discover she's not as sweet as they thought….similar to The Good Son, remember that?), she's a producer on the film. You see, he's a real Hollywood star! Walks all over Mr Efron and his homies! And while he's totally owning the red carpet, and taking a bit of the limelight away from the actual stars of the movie, I don't think they'll mind too much considering he's probably gaining them more attention than the movie would have received otherwise. There's a new sneak peak of Sherlock Holmes out if you want to have a little look-see You tube: 'Sherlock Holmes' Trailer 2 HD
LADY GAGA
Monday, German TV show. That's all.
ROBPATZ HIDES FOR THE DAY
Breaking News!!! On Tuesday RobPatz decided not to come out of the building where filming was taking place for his new movie Remember Me. 100's of adoring female fans (Twilunatics) waited for up to six hours at the corner of 41st Street and Park Avenue but there was no sign of the object of their obsession. That's because he decided not to come out of the building where scenes were being filmed and had his lunch brought to him instead of walking outside to his trailer. Co-star Pierce Brosnan strolled around the city streets during breaks and chatted with fans. But no Rob. The nerve! What is he thinking? Concentrating on his acting and the final scenes instead of feeding the frenzy!
HALLE & FAMILY
Halle Berry, Gabriel and baby Nahla arrive back in LA after relaxing in Miami. Funny how you can tell when they actually look after the kid themselves!

Hello Ladies!
AN APOLOGY FIVE MONTHS TOO LATE
Have you seen it? It's on You Tube - details below. More than five months after his alleged assault (smacking the crap out of ) on then-girlfriend Rihanna, Chris Brown has put up his cue card, and recorded an apology. In the video, Chris puts on his best 'puppy' face and says that he's "truly sorry" for what happened back in February. He says it took him so long to say so because his lawyer told him not to say anything until after the trial was over. Yer right. More like he's got a record release coming up. And while I'm glad he takes full responsibility in the video, saying he won't make any excuses for what went down, I can't help but think this whole apology stunt reeks of Team Brown trying to salvage whatever career he has left. He even stumbles through his clearly scripted, and over rehearsed lines in the beginning. Chris says: "I'll do everything in my power to make sure it will never happen again." Umm, how about you just say it will never happen again, moron. The only sincerity in this video is that he sincerely wants his career back on track! He says he's consulted with his "spiritual advisors", and his mother, and his "minister", was that before or after he was partying at Diddy's and chillin on a jet ski every day, or driving a $1.5m car around town?? Does he have to sacrifice anything to show his regret, of course not! Read the comments under the video. The slate's been wiped clean. YOU TUBE: A MESSAGE FROM CHRIS
FINALLY!
Please let it be so, it would be a dream hookup, Hollywood equality and finally some rivals worthy of stealing the crown from Angie Jo & Bradley Spit. They've been friends for ages (since Gangs of New York), have similar "Green" values, and flirted up a storm before, but now both are available, in the same city, and more mature….what do you think of a Cammie D / Leonardo DiCaprio hookup??? UK gossips are reporting that they dined together over the weekend at Shoreditch House, then went on to a club, then a private party, all the while very flirty and touchy, and at one point Cammie was even seen kissing his cheek. We know UK gossips can be a tad unreliable, so it could just be a 'matey' thing, and it could be Jude, but he left that night out with another woman…..which would you prefer to see her with?
BRITNEY'S NEARLY FREE
Word is that this November, a judge could rule that it's time for Daddy Spears to remove Brit's chip, unhook the leash and send her back out into the big bad world by herself! Word is that the court will review the conservatorship in November when her world tour ends. The conservatorship might have ended earlier, but apparently Brit was uninsurable without Daddy Spears calling the shots. Daddy Spears has been looking after her interests since February '08, and has obviously made enough money off her now, so he's setting her free. Sure, Brit will be fine (insert nervous 'chicken run' look). And if she doesn't want to get back in touch with the crazy, all she needs to do is keep up the meds, stay away from landing strips, Frapps with extra whip, pink wigs, London the dog, Carla the old assistant, gas stations, umbrellas, barber shop, etc...etc... Many have been saying for a long time now that Brit just wants to get it over with and then retire. That she was told she had to make back what she squandered during the crazy days and then would be allowed to go away quietly. It was the deal. And she's almost there. This is Britney last night in St Petersburg….I'm wondering if her costumes are kind of like an Idol thing - where people close to you should tell you the truth before you go out there and perform…..
MOTHER OF THE YEAR SPEAKS AGAIN
I say this again, Dina Lohan is delusional. As Linds falls deeper in the downward spiral of irrelevance, self-perpetuating drama, burglary and drug abuse, her enabler mother continues to justify her behavior and her insanity. Anyhoo, Dina took time out from stalking Georgie Clooney and got OK! on speed dial and claimed that Lindsay is a "genius" and she also revealed that "Lindsay will direct one day. She loves directing." Meanwhile, back at SamRo's Linds rocked up at 6am because Sam was spotted out for dinner with Drea and Linds didn't like that so then there was a DOHMESTIC and then Sam threw all Lindsay's clothes out into the street, and Lindsay had to pick them all up in front of an army of papps! But, you know she'll be back to spraying them with a water pistol tomorrow, because it's a fab photo opp!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hello Ladies!
LEONARDO ENTERS THE TWILIGHT ZONE
Now before you start, there will be no show down between RobPatz and Leonardo DiCaprio. He's not joining the Twilight franchise. He's about to enter The Twilight Zone. Variety is reporting that Warner Bros. and Leo's production company Appian Way are moving forward with plans for a new movie based on the classic sci-fi fantasy TV anthology series and have hired Rand Ravich to pen the screenplay. No word yet whether Leo will actually star in the movie. He's currently in London shooting Christopher Nolan's top-secret sci-fi epic, Inception, and will next be seen in Martin Scorsese's hugely anticipated thriller, Shutter Island. Rand Ravich's credits include the 1999 Johnny Depp movie, The Astronaut's Wife, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh and the NBC cop series Life.
ROB PATZ LAST DAYS ON REMEMBER ME SET
Same shirt, same bloodied face, different day....looks like he seriously get's the tastebuds slaped out of his mouth in this movie! But the Twilunatics never tire of seeing him, so I aim to please!
GI JOE PROMO TOUR BEGINS
GI Joe begins promotion in Australia - stars Sienna Miller and Channing Tatum were at a photo call and press conference yesterday and will make their way back to the US before the movie's August release. Sienna's a bit of an ungrateful little homewrecker, given she's been bad mouthing the movie by saying little tidbits like…"it's not going to be the best acting work we've ever done." Judging by the preview, she's right. Sienna also lamented that her chichis nearly got burnt during filming.. the 28 year old SLH who plays femme fatal The Baroness in the film, said she nearly suffered burns when an explosion got too close for comfort. But she said, 'Luckily it wasn't my breasts, it was the bit in-between. It got a bit burnt when an explosion got a bit close.' She also lamented about her character's outfit, a black leather cat suit: 'I won't be wearing one again. Squeezing myself into that with the aid of talcum powder every day for five months was more than enough. I could barely move in it anyway.' And then she bleated that she had no plans to marry (not even her supposed off again/on again homewrecking relationship with Balthazar Getty) when she snapped,'No plans to get married, no. No-one to marry!' Which I guess is what happens when the people that you date are already married! Meanwhile Sienna's co-star Channing Tatum, who play's the movie's hero Duke, was actually on his honeymoon. Channing, 29, who married Step Up co-star Jenna Dewan on the 11th of July, had to delay his honeymoon because he will be promoting the new $170 million movie for two weeks. He said: 'I am on honeymoon but not at the moment. We'll pick that up after the promotion work is done.'
PAULA MAKES DEMANDS
Paula Abdul has 20 million reasons to be angry at American Idol - one for every dollar that she wants (and hasn't received) to return to the hit show. Word is, Paula is asking for a $20 million deal to come back to the hit Fox show - a demand that has been turned down so far. Her manager David Sonenberg is playing tough, and probably made a few network execs squirm this weekend when he told the Los Angeles Times, "Very sadly, it does not appear she's going to be back on Idol." Apparently there's been a counter-offer of only $10m, and while Paula has regularly renegotiated her contract with dire threats of not returning, Sonenberg is talking tough and hasn't given anyone on the network side reason to believe he's bluffing. Paula was reportedly snakey that Ryan Seacrest got a staggering new deal ($45 million over 3 years!) and Simon Cowell is engaged in larger negotiations that could keep him on the hit show for years and tie him exclusively to Fox with a new TV production company he's forming.
CAMMIE D PARTIES WITH JUDE LAW
Remember The Holiday, from back in 2006 starring Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet and Jack Black. I liked it, even though I can't stand Jack Black and the thought of Kate Winslet's character actually finding him attractive was a bit of a stretch. It was surprisingly sweet, well-written and well-acted, a rarity for a romcom. But I was also surprised at how much chemistry Cammie D & Jude had going on. They were really cute, and they seemed very natural and sweet with each other. Word is there were a couple of rumours about the two during filming….So Sunday night Cammie was out and about in London, she's on the last leg of her promotional tour for My Sister's Keeper. Cammie and a few friends went to Boujis, and stayed out partying until 3 a.m - with Jude. Oh, but wait til tomorrow....there's more......
JESSICA SIMPSON HAS HAD OTHER SHITTY BIRTHDAYS
I really don't have any long-winded intro to this story other than John Mayer is a douche and Jessica Simpson is an idiot. The NY Post is saying John Mayer could easily be the most narcissistic celebrity ever. An insider said, "Several years ago when he was dating Jessica Simpson, he couldn't go to her birthday party because he was on tour. So the night of her birthday she had dinner with hairdresser Ken Paves and a few friends. Everyone thought John would forget her birthday, but then a gift arrived from him -- it was a DVD of him in concert. Jessica spent the rest of the night watching the DVD on a loop, 'being with him.' It was so sad." A rep for Mayer has declined to comment, funnily enough. Seriously? A DVD of yourself? And how sad is it that she actually watched it all night!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Lost hottie, Josh Holloway has hit the big 40, Kim Carnes is 64, Gisele Bundchen is 29, Grey's Anatomy's Sandra Oh is 38 and Carlos Santana is 62.

MADONNA VISITS HER INJURED WORKERS
Instead of playing to 60,000 French fans in Marseille over the weekend, Madonna paid her respects to the families of two of her stagehands that died Thursday in an equipment accident, as well as visiting several of the workers who were injured. She brought along her two daughters, Lourdes and Mercy James as well as her manager Guy Oseary. "My prayers go out to those who were injured and their families along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news," Madonna said in a statement last week. She followed up her statement with an emotional tribute at her Friday concert in Udine, Italy, where she broke into tears and brought an entire stadium to silence. "Let's all just take a moment to appreciate life in general...We are all so blessed and so lucky to be alive."
JAKEY G IN LEATHER WITH MUSCLES & A SWORD
Check out this sneak peak teaser which has hit the internet of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan in his new Disney epic, Jerry Bruckheimer movie, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time even though it's not due out until mid 2010. Jakey recently told EW the reason he took on the role, "I'm tired of taking myself so seriously," says the 28-year-old actor "It's nice when a stuntman turns to you and is like, 'Actors don't normally do this.'" (Jakey found himself sword-fighting, climbing walls, and jumping off of buildings as part of the prince's quest to find an enchanted dagger and turn back time.) His other film Brothers with Natalie Portman and Toby Maguire, is due out in December. This is the movie Jakey was shooting when OUR Heath died. Preview looks really good - have a look! YOU TUBE: Brothers starring Natalie Portman, Toby Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal

Katherine Heigl and Gerry Butler are out and about promoting their new movie. Does this shot make him look just that little bit naughtier???
GILMORE GIRLS REUNION
Sorry girls, not really. Alexis Bledel (Rory) joined her screen-mom Lauren Graham to support Lauren at the premiere of her new movie, The Answer Man, in NY on Thursday night. Lauren, recently told the ladies on The View, "I said yes to the movie instantly because it's such a beautiful, funny and smart script. It's sort of about fame. It's about what happens when you lose yourself in your own hype. My character is someone who doesn't immediately know who [Jeff Daniels' character] is and maybe life is better because of that."
Enjoy your week!

Hello Ladies!
IRON MAN SNEEK PEAK
Entertainment weekly's cover for this week shows some sneak peeks of Iron Man 2, even though it's not due out for another 9 months. RDJ and ScarJo are on the cover with Mickey Rourke, who's playing Whiplash, one of two villains. They're in character, and curiously, there's no Gwynnie. It's a good article. Gets you hyped for the movie.
EMMY NOMINATIONS ARE IN
There were several omissions with the Emmy nominations were announced, but there was also one very, very, VERY satisfying one. You'll recall last year that Katherine Heigl opened her trap and said that she was withdrawing from Emmy consideration because the writers at Grey's suck and the material didn't deserve it? So, Shonda Rimes gave her the juiciest storyline this season. Ample opportunity for K to over-act in every episode, even talking to a dead guy in her head, in an obvious bid for an award. And yet she has failed. Katherine Heigl's name was not called. She's also in The Ugly Truth which is out soon, but everyone's already had their chick flick fix, with The Proposal, and Katherine aint no Sandy B. So who is up for an Emmy, and a few shows we don't get, but OUR Simon Baker is up for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama & OUR Toni Collette for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy:

Hello Ladies!
BRIDGET'S COMING BACK
Renee Zellweger can put away those ice chips and pumpkin seeds and eat some real food again, as Bridget Jones is coming back for a third installment, according to People. The third movie will focus on Bridget deciding it's time for babies…. based on weekly columns Fielding wrote in 2005 for the U.K. Independent about Bridget in her 40s, trying to have a baby before it's too late. No word yet if Bridge will be joined by her love interests Baked Bean throwing, Hugh Grant or the lovely Colin Firth.
WHY JUSTIN'S BITCHY
Pipsqueak Justin Timberlake was spotted out and about walking Jessica's dog….how about that? How'd they know where to find him?? He's been a bit snaky lately, and yesterday he took his frustrations out on a papp with an uncanny resemblance to Adam Sandler! So, this got me to thinking, what's up with the Pip? Here's my theories….Firstly, there's the obvious choice, he lost the Green Lantern role to Mr Puff Adder Ryan Reynolds so, like a petulant child, accustomed to getting what he wants, when he wants, the Pip is stomping around in a tantrum. But wait, there's more, it could have something to do with his exclusion from the MJ memorials…..seems there might be a bit of bad blood between the Pip and Janet Jackson after Justin totally pussy'd out on Janet after that Superbowl nipple occurrence. Remember, he totally let her take the heat and shrank away like the ball-less little Pip that he is. Of course she hasn't forgotten.
BRADLEY SPITT DOES WIRED
Brad Pitt graces the cover of this month's Wired magazine, he did the interview with Wired as his Inglourious Basterds character Lt. Aldo Raine, for their tech-themed issue, focusing on social protocol. This is all Sacha Baron Cohen's fault given he mainly did interviews as Bruno, so now everyone's cutting in on his act. Here's a little bit of the interview: On that Twitter twit Ashton Kutcher posting a picture of Demi on Twitter: "Don't take a picture of your wife's butt. That's silly. Take pictures of other people's wives' butts." And on looking for love online: "Everyone lies online. In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don't, they'll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie." And, on using the phone while going to the loo: "No, you can't talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation? And on texting in the loo…."Just be sure you don't hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don't want those followers." (err, we've already seen those pics Bradley).
TOTALLY PICKED IT!!
Here's Star Magazine's cover for this week…..pictures look familiar??? Here's what they had to say….."Jennifer Aniston's not wasting any time when it comes to finding a new man. After a failed fling with Bradley Cooper, she's already moved on to her sexy costar Gerard Butler! "Let me put it this way," says a source on the New York set of their movie, The Bounty. "They're both hot and single! After they finish a scene, they stick around so they can hang out with each other. Neither is in a rush to leave." In fact, Jen and Gerard are so affectionate on set, sources tell Star, that they often practice kissing scenes even after the cameras stop rolling! "Jen will say, 'I think we need to do that again,'" the source says. "She says Gerard's a great kisser." The pair have adjoining trailers, and they've been seen dashing off to Jen's haven for a private "lunch." During one recent visit, Gerard stayed in Jen's trailer for 30 minutes. And the chemistry doesn't fizzle after work, an insider adds. The new couple have even continued their heated make-out sessions in Gerard's hotel room! But insiders aren't surprised, noting that the romance has been almost a year in the making. "Gerard's been after Jen ever since they met at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2008," a source tells Star. "He really has a thing for her. He wants to date her, not just have a fling — or at least that's what he is telling her! He has a reputation for being the biggest cad in Hollywood, and Jen knows that. She said no to him for almost a year, but he never gave up." LMAO!! Wonder if she writes that shizzle herself and just faxes it to them? I used to love Jennifer Aniston, but now that her desperation is so apparent, it's a bit of a turn off really.
ANOTHER REASON TO LOVE MATT DAMON
As we know, Matt Damon is the co-founder of a charity called H2O Africa. The aim of his charity was to bring clean, drinkable water to the areas and communities in the African continent that are lacking. Now Matt's joined forces with WaterPartners to form a new organization: Water.org. Their goal? To bring "clean, safe drinking water to some of the poorest communities on earth." Which equates to some 890 million people without safe water, and 2.5 billion people who don't have safe sanitation. So, as part of the launch, over the past few months, Matt has traveled to India and Ethiopia to view the situation with the lack of drinkable water. Matt said, "Every 15 seconds, a child in the developing world dies from water-related disease. After visiting project sites in Africa and Asia with Gary, I've seen the problem and the impact of safe water." Word.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Diane Kruger (Troy, National Treasure, Inglorious Basterds) is 33, Sly Stallone's ex Brigitte Nielsen is 46, Megan Fox's on again, off again, on again man, Brian Austin Green is 36, Forrest Whitaker is 48, and Linda Rondstadt is 63!

Hello Ladies!
SCARJO IS THE NEW FACE OF MANGO
Clothing line Mango announced Scarlett Johansson's gig with the unveiling of some of the very different photos they're using in their ads, in Spain on Monday. So, let's see, that's Woody Allen movies, check. Major blockbuster movies, check. Marrying that obnoxious twit Ryan Reynolds, check. And now she can successfully add modeling. Miss Scarlett's quite the all-rounder.
LADY GAGA
Have to share the pain. So, Lady GaGa performed at the Oxegen Music Festival in Dublin a couple of days ago, and to the horror of the crowd, pranced around stage like she was the hottest thing on Earth when in fact she's looking more like something from Middle Earth. And if I can be honest, I could have gone my whole life without seeing that view of her ass.
GUESS THE NEW HEADLINE
Clearly Jennifer Aniston wants a piece of the tabloid action. What with mega superstars dying, she's been feeling a bit neglected. So…..as these pictures have just surfaced, thanks to the papps who seem to have a permanent residency on the set of their new movie, let's guess what the accompanying headline will suggest…..Jenni & Gerry falling in lurv??? Does her body position look familiar? Cast your mind back to that famous shot of Jenn & Brad together in Anguilla on the beach, the day their divorce was announced. God she's boring, she needs some new moves, and clearly some new positions!
HAVE YOU SEEN BRUNO?
Bruno was box office King this last weekend with a $US30 million opening, further securing Sacha Baron Cohen's status as a major power player in Hollywood. Which you can tell by who he hooked in to join him in the final scene! So, have you seen it? I have. Don't want to see it again. Bit annoyed that I got caught up in the hype because, really, found the reactions of people funnier than Bruno's actions by far! Anyhoo, here's Sacha, with OUR Isla and baby Olive arriving back home in LA. I'm starting to notice a pattern in the pictures, and of course as 'Photo Assumption' IS my favourite game, I'm going to run with it…..it's all about Sacha, always. Can you imagine living with him when he's in the "zone" preparing a character for a movie? You see the way he's not protectively holding onto OUR Isla or Olive, given there's at least 60 papps crowding them for the money shot??? Thoughts???
MIRANDA KERR
Smiling sweetly for the cameras at the Louis Vuitton celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Lunar Landing at the American Museum of Natural History on Monday in NY. LOL! Wonder if there's a Louis Vuitton celebration for the fourth Sunday in the month? Miranda chirped about being home recently for a David Jones fashion shoot, "I love being home in Australia," she said, despite the fact the shoot was shut down for flooding. "We have such a beautiful country, so why not incorporate it with the beautiful…..blah blah blah…". Again, I'm just not seeing the appeal, still seeing that Cabbage Patch Kid resemblence. Just sayin. Give me Isla or Isabelle any day, or even Megan Gale….or god forbid I'm even saying this, Jennifer Hawkins.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Matthew Fox is 43. Don't mind Matthew Fox, but I think he's one of those stars, that if you met him in the flesh, you'd be disappointed. Kind of like my obsession with MY Lenny. Never want to meet him in real life!
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
NATALIE & CHRIS TOGETHER IN THOR
Gorgeous Natalie Portman has signed on to play OUR Chris Hemsworth's love interest in the new Marvel Studio's movie Thor. She'll play Jane Foster, the nurse who develops romantical feelings for the Norse god of thunder's earthbound alter ego, Donald Blake. Word is The Beil tried out for the part, but alas that superior beauty of hers must have gotten in the way again! The movie is due out mid 2011. Hmmmm, cute couple, huh??
NICOLE N JOEL IN MALIBU
Nicole Richie flaunts her growing belly while having a dip in Malibu over the weekend with her babydaddy Joel Madden. The couple already have a daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden.
CELEBRITIES SANS MAKEUP, STYLISTS, LIGHTING….
Remember George of the Jungle & The Mummy's Brendan Fraser?
BRITAIN'S SHAGGER OF THE YEAR REJECTS LINDSAY LOHAN
Now we know Rusty Brand is apparently a recovering sex addict, and his romantic conquests are many to say the least! However, it seems on more than one occasion at various parties over the past few weeks, the most recent being Rusty's new BFF, P Diddy Diddyup Sean Coomb's White party on the 4th of July weekend, old Rusty has rejected Linds' advances! A helpful "source" has come forth and divulged that, " "Lindsay is a very good-looking girl and she is used to getting what she wants. Russell has been on her radar for a while now but he doesn't want anything to do with her. He finds her constant craving for attention and her heavy drinking a turn-off. It's not like he is short of female attention anyway." LMAO!!! It seems he has standards after all!
JESSICA SIMPSON SINGLE AGAIN
After almost two years of domesticated bliss, Tony Romo has dumped Jess' ass on the eve of her 29th Birthday soiree! Nice. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the theme of the party - Barbie & Ken. Likidisplit, Pappa Joe Simpson will be on the phone to newly single Nick Lachey trying to convince him to hook up with Jess for a new reality show - Newlyweds: Once More With Feeling. Word is, Jess & Tony's schedules were conflicting and she wanted to try but he obviously didn't because by Friday he was clubbing in Hollywood with the boys, happy to be back on the scene. But while a dumping on the eve of her birthday seems way harsh, turns out it had more to do with Tony having a coniptive fit over some saucy text messages Jess was trying to hide on her mobile, from ex John Mayer!! Naturally, there was a source to be dug up, who said, "Tony dumped her right then. He walked out and that was it." So who should we hook her up with now??
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is 67, Fatboy Slim is 46, Bam's dad Phil Margera is 52, Cheech Marin is 63 and Patrick Stewart is 69.

Hello Ladies!
RYAN REYNOLDS SNATCHES GREEN LANTERN ROLE
Justin Timberlake (yer right), Jared Leto (way better choice) and Bradley Cooper (second better choice) missed out to he with the personality of a Puff Adder!! Variety says Ryan will start shooting the movie next January with a June 2011 release. The Green Lantern is based on the comic about some ordinary Jo Bloggs who has superhero power due to an alien ring. Don't we all have one of those? Ok, he'll look good in the tight green suit, but…he's got the personality of a puff adder and he's an ass to his fans!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA
OUR Huge Jackman, his wife Deborah Lee Furness and big brother, Oscar took little Ava out for a special lunch to celebrate her 4th birthday. Ava and her doll had matching pink dresses - so cute! Next up for Hugh? He'll join Daniel Craig (K-Mart Bond) on Broadway later this year in A Steady Rain.
NICKY K GIVES HER PUBLICIST THE FLICK
Ms. Kidman has canned her long suffering publicist, Catherine Olim after 15 years! Maybe she thinks it's somehow Catherine's fault that her career is in the shitter & she's currently box office poison! Catherine was responsible for orchestrating Nicole's victorious Oscar campaign during her heydey and was apparently slavishly devoted to her. Course the turn in her career would have nothing to do with the fact that she's exactly the same in every single movie, oh and her face is frozen = no expression! Then there's that goose feather pillow…..and the hubby for hire…
REMEMBER SOLEIL MOON FRYE?
Miss Punky Brewster? Well, she's now got her own clothing line, Little Seed. And her homies Demi Moore and her twit of a husband, Ashton were there to support the launch of her LA store. How did we know about this event, well because Demi & Ashton are Twitter-addicts and Twitter about the flavour of their muesli!
HARRY POTTER HOTTIE
There's a new HP hottie for you to drool over girls! He's 22 year old Freddie Stroma and he'll be briefly heating up the screen in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , playing Cormac McLaggen.
ELLE MACPHERSON
OUR Elle Macpherson wore a killer gold dress, and showed off her amazing 46 year old, mother of two, body at the launch of the new Jaguar XJ in London last Thursday night. I'm totally going to look like that when I'm 46!!

Hello Ladies!
JASON BATMAN DOES DETAILS
Former Arrested Development star, he who has climbed back up to the A-list, Jason Bateman graces the August 2009 cover of Details Magazine. He took time out while on the set of The Baster co-starring Jennie A to talk about overcoming his "Risky Business years" and resurrecting his career. On stopping his drug use: "Booze was what would make me want to stay out all night and do some blow or smoke a joint or whatever, so shutting that off was key. It's like ketchup and French fries - I don't want one without the other. So that's the moment: Do you want to continue to be great at being in your twenties, or do you want to step up and graduate into adulthood?" But probably also had a very lot to do with the fact that his wife, of only one year back then, laid the smack down and told him to clean up his act or she was walking! Of course Jenni put in her two cents worth, as she's known him for 15 years by saying, "Even though he was pretty wild in those days, something about those dimples and that sweet face made you go, 'Oh, it's okay that you just drove up the street backwards in a Range Rover with the door wide open.' I don't know what was happening there. You feel instantly safe in his company." I don't know, I read the whole interview and went through all the pictures - and I'll always favour a B&W pic…..looks better….but I just found the pictures and his responses in general to be pretty boring quite frankly! Was hoping there was a bit of spark there, but then when you think about it, he's not all that exciting in movies either!
WHAT'S BIG WILLY UP TO?
The Smith family are in China while new child star Jaden Smith appears in the remake of The Karate Kid, but they're calling it The Kung Fu Kid….haven't seen Will (he calls himself Big Willy on facebook) bald…..
ROBPATZ HAS A LITTLE CAGE
Further to my comment earlier in the week about him literally being hunted…. OK! is reporting that RobPatz is so distraught given all of the attention, it's now affecting his work on Remember Me. Producers and crew have had to set up a "box" with seven-foot high walls - a small, enclosed area where he can escape them between takes. The Twilunatics line the street every day, waiting all day, for a glimpse. I've seen the video from yesterday, they're nuts! It's like watching the Beatles arrive - rabid, hysterical screaming, all of them, young AND OLDER, trying to break through the wall of guards to get to him as he walks to his car. I've seen this type of fan before, like that link I sent you of that girl's reaction to New Moon, a girl who worked for me who was fanatical about Orly Bloom, she would often say, "I know that if I could just meet him, if I could just have that chance, he'd see that I'm different from the rest. And we could be together." But what's really scary is that a very lot of these Twilunatics are mother's with children of their own - nearly his age!!! Here's a little sample for you, of Twilunatic hate mail that was sent to one of my fellow bloggers, a sample of what she receives on a daily basis, Hi bi#@h! Don't you dare join in with those tabloids and trying to spread rumors that Rob is with that Emilie fat ass. YOU ARE a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's too fat for him anyway, look at her ass in those jeans and until you accept that Robsten is the real deal no one will be reading your site so give it up you dumpy ass wh*$e! Glad I don't get mail like that! Glad you're all so much more in touch with reality!
MARY LOUISE PARKER
Miss Mary Louise Parker (Fried Green Tomatoes, Boys on the side, Weeds) flaunts her 44 year old body in a sexy photo shoot for Esquire's August issue. She's promoting the newest season of Weeds. You'll recall she was dumped while heavily pregnant by that tool Billy Crudup, who ran off with Clair Danes...and they both suffered from guilty face before splitting a couple of years later, wit Billy fading into oblivion...anyhoo, clearly she's now focusing on domestic pursuits, because that's what we all look like when we bake a pie….right??
EYE CANDY
Christopher Meloni this week on set for Law and Order: SVU……I used to really love him….then I saw him in Oz and that kinda killed it for me. He played the Gay just a bit too well….and we all know there's no point lusting after a boy who doesn't like girls.
LET'S PLAY PHOTO ASSUMPTION
I'll go first. Here's Stepford Katie the set of Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, being filmed in studios in Melbourne yesterday…..as we know Tommy's ducked off with James Packer for a cruise, sooooo I'm thinking he's told her she's hosting a scientology convention with him! What's your guess?
OUR ISABEL HITS PARIS FASHION WEEK
When she's not out promoting Transformers, Izzy and her older sister Nina get to attend the Chanel Haute Couture fashion show, as part of the Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2009/10 at Grand Palais on Tuesday in Paris. She was a special guest of of that crabby old "Bernie" Karl Lagerfeld and got to sit in the front row with former Chanel muse Ines de la Fressange and fashion photographers Inez, Patrick Demarchelier and Vinoodh. It's a hard life…

Hello Ladies!
RACHEL WEISZ DOES HARPER'S BAZAAR US
Looks like Rachel's not holding back once again, and she's about to ruffle some feathers…both Rachel and Kate Winslet are gracing covers of Harper's Bazaar next month, Kate in the UK version. Both are keeping it real, and fighting the "Hollywood" temptation to become a Floop's fooglie (Spy Kids)! In the interview accompanying her shoot, Rachel went so far as to say that she believes SAG should make it illegal for actors to use Botox or something. "It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen," she says. "Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?" Wonder if she's referring to Nicky K?? Rachel also says she's much more comfortable hanging in her native London that in "appearance obsessed" America, "I love the way girls in London dress; it's so different to the American "blow-dry and immaculate grooming thing," she says. LOL!!!
KATE WINSLET DOES HARPER'S BAZAAR UK
Meanwhile, fellow Brit, the very real Kate Winslet echoes that thought in her interview...Kate, a successful A list actress, who hates exercise regimes, has an Oscar, a marriage to Director Sam Mendes, 2 kids and a coveted Lancôme contract (her new campaign for L'Absolu Rouge lipstick launches this month), has taken to reflecting on the realities of what happens after you get everything you want…..I particularly loved this story, about the day after her Oscar win….on her return flight to NY, she discovered that you do, in fact, have to put your Oscar through the X-ray machine at the airport. "They say, 'Is that it, in the bag?' and I was like, 'Yep!'" Kate drank champagne on the flight and took pictures while her golden boy was passed around the flight crew. And she also speaks about the trials of awards season,"It's very hard to feel like yourself because you're not; you're on show. In the old days" — her debut in Heavenly Creatures in 1994, followed by her first Oscar nominations, for Sense and Sensibility in 1996 and Titanic in 1998 — "I'd just wing it, but now you need to give people what they want, which is someone looking composed, fresh, and put together." But she gleefully defuses the glamorous smokescreen. "Our knickers will still go up our ass at the most inappropriate moment. And we'll still want to flick them out, but you can't, because someone is going to catch you." So what does one do? "Oh, I run behind pillars and things." LOL!! Kate also talks about her boobs. The Mighty O famously said to her during an interview, "God bless your real breasts!" Kate shrugs and says, "I'm used to people openly discussing my tits. If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do, then that's great." But, she points out that she's well aware that her boobs have a shelf life. "I'll be 34 in October. I can't keep getting away with it. There was so much of it in The Reader because the story required it, but people have seen enough of my bum and my boobs. I have to put them back." Oh, and as if she's your bestie giving advice, here's Kate's Lancôme tips? "Rénergie is really, really fantastic. Résolution eye cream — excellent for puffiness! Pink Parfait Magic Blush, which I just love ... and Absolute Rouge is spectacular. Sam and I went out to the theater one night, and I double kissed everyone and it didn't come off!" Pause. "Actually, I don't double kiss. Just one will do, thank you." Kate says she was shocked when Lancôme approached her, "I really thought, me?" she says. "Seriously. Because I think what you feel like as a teenager never really goes away. If you were teased for being fat or thin or having bad teeth, you're always insecure about that particular area of yourself. So I've never thought of myself as any kind of beauty, iconic or otherwise." Her reasoning for the Lancôme offer, "Part of the reason Lancôme asked me was because I come across as a woman other women can identify with. The media plays such a big role in how women measure themselves against other women, so I can be in a position where I can say beauty comes from within, we're not all perfect, and the covers of magazines are of course retouched. We do not look like that." She points to her forehead. "I have wrinkles here, which are very evident, and I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, 'You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?' I'd rather be the woman they're saying 'She's looking older' about than 'She's looking stoned.'"
SACHA BARON COHEN AS HIMSELF
Tuesday night, SBC dropped in on Letterman, as part of the last leg of his Bruno promotion tour. Up until this point, almost all of his interviews have been in character. Not for Letterman it seems. He did however change into his alter-ego Bruno for his departure. The clip link is below. OUR Isla Fisher also came along for the ride. You Tube: Letterman Sacha Baron Cohen interview a terrorist - is it just me, or is he a bit of a tool?
HARRY POTTER UPDATE
A new clip has been released called "I Killed Sirius Black" - have a look! I can't wait - 6 more sleeps! You Tube: I killed Sirius Black clip from "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince". I'm Big Kev excited!
IS KRISTEN PREGNANT?
While there's been no official comment from either camp or Summit for that matter, which has the Twilunatics in an even bigger frenzy, tripling their steady stream of hate mail Kristen's way… there's come a scathing response to NW's headline this week about Kristen being up the duff, from a tight Kristen source. When asked, said source said, "It is a nonsense, made-up story from an Australian tabloid with no merit," (Ouch) Not going to say I told you so! But there's no sparkly vampire baby love child on the horizon. Ok, I will! So, now, that remarkably accurate magazine Life & Style is reporting that RobPatz has dumped her ass and run off with OUR Emilie….so you know the crazed Twilunatics will be hunting poor Emilie down. Here's my pondering for the day, would YOU be brave enough to play a love interest of his in a movie??? Thanks Teddy x
HOT SPANISH LOVE STILL GOING STRONG
They've been together since 2007, and the usually camera shy, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz were spotted very much together, kissing and holding hands in Barcelona yesterday, while out and about on a lunch date. That loose fitting shirt is not going to squash those Cannes pregnancy rumours…and speaking of which, here's what she recently said about having children, "I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life. I don't know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children." And, is that a ring on her left hand??
LADY GAGA GETS IT RIGHT
Now I know I said no more posts for a while, but this one's worth it don't you think?? This is how she turns up to a press conference in Malta.
EYE CANDY
Halle's baby daddy….Gabriel Aubry. The family are enjoying a break and basking in the sunshine in Miami.

Hello Ladies!
CLEARLY AN INTERGALACTIC EVENT!
Over 1 billion people were expected to watch the memorial service at LA's Staples Center on TV or the internet. All of the major networks all had livestream, and 11,000 people were expected to attend. As I've said before, say what you will about him, but it was a sad occasion, particularly for his kids. Finally we all get to see what they look like and it's bittersweet. And, there is no way you can watch Michael's daughter Paris talking about her father with dry eyes! It's soooo sad. YOU TUBE: Michael Jackson's Daughter "Paris" Tearful Goodbye. Aunty Janet led her up to the microphone, and, for the first time ever, we heard one of Jackson's kids speak. "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," the 11-year-old said, fighting back sobs. "And I just wanted to say, I loved him so much." Jermaine tearfully sang his brother's favourite song, "Smile," written by Charlie Chaplin. The Jackson family were seated in the front row. The male members of the family wore single studded gloves in homage to their brother. A clearly pregnant Jennifer Hudson sang "Will You Be There" from Free Willy….awesome, M's five brothers carried his golden, rose-topped casket into the public memorial. And a long white wall stands just outside the Staples Center, where fans can leave their messages and memories of their icon. Michael's iconic hat and glove currently sits on the Apollo stage one last time. Me? I think people are focusing more on the memories his music provided for each of us and less on the suspicions that surrounded his personal life. As different a person as he was, there is no dispute he was one of the most, or maybe the most, amazing performer and talent of our time.
HARRY HAS HIS LONDON PREMIERE
In the midst of a rainstorm, Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling, as well as cast members (Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint) and thousands of Harry Potter fans attended the London opening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in Leicester Square last night. Daniel, Emma & Rupert were drenched!
ANGIE JO TAKES THE GIRLS TO DANCE CLASS
Miss Zahara, 4 and Shiloh, 3, are growing up so quickly! On Monday they attended a dance class in LA called "The Princess Series". Cuteness. Z once again showed her complete disdain for the papps - while Shiloh and Angie managed to ignore them. Curiously the family are all back together, in the one house, in LA……not, it appears, living apart as per previous reports circulating through In Touch and Life & Style magazines! Also, Angie recently visited USO-Metro (a network that supports the son's and daughters at war for America) to lend her support and posed for photos with the families of serving personnel. SO much more beautiful when she's not done up for red carpet events, don't you think?
LINDS GETS SUED
A couple of months ago, when Linds launched her spray tan in a can Sevin Nyne, she yapped that it took her three long years to perfect the formula with her business partner Lorit Simon. Well, now, one Jennifer Sunday from St. Petersburg, is calling Linds a lie-teller and a thief, because she says she's the one who came up with that shiz. The St. Petersburg Times is saying that Jennifer Sunday is in fact a chemis, and she's filed a lawsuit against Linds and Lorit in a Tampa federal court for breach of contract, theft of trade secrets, civil conspiracy, intentional interference with contractual relations and deceptive and unfair trade practices. Jennifer says she was working on the spray-tan with Lorit Simon back in January, but they couldn't agree on pricing. Next thing Jennifer knew, Lori was out whoring her creation with Linds and Jennifer went on to say that the ingredients are exactly the same. So now, naturally, Jennifer wants a cut of the profits. Sevin Nyne is currently being sold for $35 a pop. LMAO
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
LADY GAGA
Poll results are in - turns out 62% hate her! Who knew? Here's some more recent pictures - which quite frankly, in my opinion, probably substantiate the poll results!
DANIEL OPENS UP FOR UK'S ESQUIRE MAGAZINE
Clearly Daniel Radcliffe is no stranger to exposing himself given his role in Equus, so he had nooooo problems whatsoever giving a few VERY personal tidbits for his recent interview with Esquire UK. When asked what his religious beliefs are, he said "I'm an atheist, but I'm very relaxed about it," he says, before joking: "There we go, Dan, that's half of America that's not going to see the next Harry Potter film on the back of that comment." Doubt it. And when he was asked about rumours he and co-star Emma Waston were an item, Daniel assured that they never hooked up because "there's something really incestuous about the idea of it." But, word is that he and many others definitely felt the effects of those raging pubescent hormones, while on set. "There was a period when we were the only boys and girls any of us knew, so you know, we were all unbelievably horny from about the third film to probably about the end of the fifth," admits Daniel. "Then it all settled down. But, God, for a few years…" That ought to throw a cat among the pigeons! Meanwhile, here's some pictures from the photo call for the UK premiere of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince which is tomorrow. Reviews so far have been overwhelmingly positive. The UK Sun called it "masterful". Variety says it's "dazzling." Word is they've taken some artistic liberties with some key scenes - specifically Dumbledore's death and Draco's murderous act. Which is odd given JK usually has a hand in the screenplay! Also, apparently the chemistry between Harry and Ginny is HOT, HOT, HOT! When they kiss it SIZZLES. Same goes for the jousting between Hermione and Ron. As for Harry himself - you will love him the most. Harry is growing up. And Harry is wonderfully endearing. In this film more so than all the others. 8 sleeps…..
JARED LETO
Out and about in Malibu, in a flannie, clearly unaware his picture was being taken! Haven't seen him in a while, so here's some pics. Was thinking the other day about what a hot couple he and Cammie made….wonder what happened?
P DIDDY DIDDYUPS DIDDY DOO'S ANNUAL WHITE PARTY
Beverly Hills, Saturday. There was once a time, long ago, when Diddy was still important, his white parties were legendary. An invitation was as rare as hen's teeth. These days? He can't be so picky. Apart from a few exceptions, this year's soiree included reality stars and Tara Reid FFS! You know, if Tara Reid is at your party, your party is officially crap. Which is why it's so embarrassing that we actually paid her to come here and host an event in Queensland! We were a laughing stock! Anyhoo, moving along, The event was co-hosted with Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Might I remind you, that Demi is 47 in November? She looks freaking amazing! Rusty Brand was there too, looking rather bloa-ted (but I wont show him considering y'all decided he's NOT HOT) and of course Mooriah, draping herself over hubby Nick. Also there's a distinct possibly that Kanye is about to delight us with another wrathful caps locked rant because his off-again chickiebabe Amber was stuck at Diddy's party in a dark corner with lady-beater Chris Brown. Kanye & Jay Z haven't shown Diddy's compunction and lack of restrain, and have not welcomed Chris Brown back into the fold….Anyhoo, of course there was a witness who said, "They were holding hands and making out in the shadows. She had her hand on his leg." A little later on, the two played tonsil hockey again at an after-party. Chris rocked up with singer and Rihanna look-alike Teyana Taylor, but quickly quit her ass for Amber Rose. The witness added (as they do), "They were kissing on the dance floor in front of Teyana. But he and Amber left separately." Rihanna, meanwhile spent the weekend in Vegas with Jay-Z and LeBron James…..wearing this outfit! Yep, that is a silver star stuck on her nipple!
THE BEIL'S BEEN HARD AT WORK - CLINGING
As they've been apart for a couple of weeks, while Justin has been spotted on several occasions flirting up a storm all over Europe, and then of course there have been many rumours….The Beil was ready this long weekend, just as I predicted I might add! Somehow, while while they were at dinner at Magnolia on Friday, shopping for groceries on Saturday, and then at lunch on Sunday, the papps managed to find them! How about that?!?
AND I SO PICKED THIS!
Not that I'm one to gloat, but you'll recall I said that a story about a love triangle was eminent??? With Jennifer Aniston, Gerard Butler (her current co-star) and Bradley Cooper??? Well, Life & Style, have said that Jennifer has to choose between Bradley Cooper (who, in L&S's version of the past few weeks still does want to date her…) and Gerry Butler. Word is Jenn & Gerry have been flirting up a storm while shooting Bounty Hunter. An insider (Jenn's rep) claims that Jenn and Gerard "have a strong physical attraction." Um well… yeah, he IS Gerard Butler. The "insider" naturally went on to add, "Between takes, Jen and Gerard were definitely flirting with each other," before adding, "She was rubbing his face, touching his arm and laughing.", oh and then there's this…. "Jen was very chatty with Gerard during the breaks," another onlooker said. "Gerard was getting really close to her on the escalator. You could definitely notice a connection between them." Yer right, I totally believe Jennifer is flicking her hair Gerry's way, but there's no marriage and babies in the future with him. The last time Gerry was linked to a Hollywood hottie, it was Cammie D, and Gerry was very quick to shoot that down with this comment: "So if I take my dog for a walk apparently I'm f—ing my dog? No, it's not true!" Can't wait for his next denial?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
LOVE Eva Green (Kingdom of Heaven, Golden Compass, Casino Royale), she's gorgeous, there should be more of her! Anyhoo, she's now 29, Katherine Helmond (Who's The Boss?) is 81, Edie Falco aka Carmela Soprano is 46 and Huey Lewis is 59!
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
Celebrities, sans stylists, the right angle, photoshop…...
Adrien Brody - that's all.
WHAT'S MY LENNY UP TO?
Well, he's currently on the London leg of his tour where he caught up with good friend Penelope Cruz….
JOHNNY GIVES BACK AGAIN
Johnny Depp's new movie Public Enemies premiered in London last week…and while he was in town, Johnny Depp dropped in to visit the sick kids at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where his daughter Lily-Rose was treated when she was seriously ill a couple of years ago - in full Captain Jack Sparrow costume! He spent time in several wards, chatting to the children, and posed for a very lot of photos… not a pap in sight. This is why we love him.
CRUISING IN MELBOURNE
As we know, Stepford Katie had to pop over to Melbourne to begin work on Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. Her performance on Ameica's version of SYTYCD will air on the 23rd of July, on the show's 100th episode. As we also already know, Katie's number is a tribute to Judy Garland. Not clear whether or not this will be pre-taped or if she'll be taking a break from filming here to fly back and appear live…? Obviously we'll have to see it, and I'll bring you the link likidisplit! How could you possibly resist the sight of Tommy, sitting there in the audience, on the edge of his seat, veins popping, teeth gleaming, over enthusiastically clapping his tits off? I can't. Meanwhile, Tommy celebrated his 47th birthday over the weekend, and since their arrival, the Cruise convoy have been to the zoo, shopping and then hit up an AFL match. Of course he was accompanied by Katie and OUR Guy Pearce who happens to be Katie's co-star in her new movie…. Is it just me, or does Katie look like she's gone away to that happy place again??
CAMMIE D
As we haven't seen her before, gracing the cover of V Magazine's Beauty Issue for 2009. Cammie was photographed by duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott in London and the shoot was apparently inspired by Madonna circa True Blue era and the tattoos were painted on by an on-set tattoo artist. Incidentally, Cammie's latest movie, My Sister's Keeper, co-starring Abigail Breslin is due out any tick of the clock!

Hello Ladies!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO MY FRIENDS IN AMERICA X
HARRY POTTER SNEAK PEAKS
Twelve more sleeps till Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, 40 new pics have surfaced and I'm sure we can expect a few more spoilers over the next few weeks. Here, for your viewing pleasure we have; Weasley's Wizard Wizzes, Weasley twins inside their shop, Harry and Dumbledore waiting for a muggle train & Harry and Ginny. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince advance screenings have been taking place the last few days and early word is that…It's freaking amazing. Oh, and Rufus Scrimgeour will be played by that older sexy beast Bill Nighy (Underworld, Pirates of the Caribbean, Love Actually….), ! The Independent reports that old Billy told them: "I don't think I'm allowed to say it but I'm going to be in the next Harry Potter film." Bill once lamented that that he was the only British actor NOT in Harry Potter. Problem now solved. P.S. poor Rupert has swine flu!
THIS WEEKEND IS A LONG ONE FOR THE US - 4TH OF JULY!
And so far there's not a peep about what either RobPatz or Kristen Stewart about their plans for the weekend….indeed everything about whereabouts or travel plans is very hush hush…..so there could be a chance, the two are planning a little rendezvous somewhere. Last time no one knew what their plans were they hooked up and had a ball……so you know if there's anything more to tell, you'll be the first to know! P.S. There's a fabrication going around that she's pregnant with his baby.....
FORBES ANNUAL "HOLLYWOOD" TOP EARNING ACTRESS LIST IS OUT
They've released their list for 2009 and no surprises who takes up 1st and 2nd position. Angie Jo was in first place with $27m and Jennifer Aniston in 2nd with $25m….ouch! Bet she's spewing she didn't ask for $2m more on one of her projects! Forbes says that Angie made a shit load for Wanted and also got a big upfront payment for her upcoming movie Salt. Jenny made most of her cash from Friends residuals and that movie about the dead doggy. Here's the rest of Forbes list. There's really something wrong in the world when Kate Winslet is bringing in less dollars than the some of those others…...
1: St. Angie Jo - $27 million
2: Jenny Aniston - $25 million
3: Meryl Streep - $24 million
4: Sarah Jessica Parker - $23 million
5: Cammie D - $20 million
6: Sandra Bullock - $15 million
7: Reese Witherspoon - $15 million
8: Nicole Kidman - $12 million
8: Drew Barrymore - $12 million
10: Renee Zellweger - $10 million
11: OUR Cate Blanchett - $8 million
12: Anne Hathaway - $7 million
12: Halle Berry - $7 million
14: ScarJo - $5.5 million
15: Kate Winslet - $2 million
JESSICA SIMPSON SINGS THE US NATIONAL ANTHEM
While Jessica Simpson's version of the American National Anthem didn't spoil the game, I have to say it was a bit painful to watch, and I get mighty uncomfortable when I see this girl sing. Something about the way she holds the microphone just gives me the heeby jeebies because she always looks like she's going 'down town' on the Mic! Anyhoo, Jess' girls nearly busted out of her tight striped dress and ran away as she sang at the AT&T National Golf Tournament in DC, hosted by Tiger Woods last Thursday. LOVE what was written on the Washington Post blog: "(Jessica Simpson) eventually left the first green before any of her body parts managed to escape." Heh.
NEW ARMANI ADS
Just when you thought they were done, there's more. Two new ads have been released from the Armani underwear campaign featuring the Beckhams. Once again, both of them flexing every muscle, contorting and looking at thin as possible. Wonder if they practice their poses at home? When she's on top of him, and they're making love surrounded by mirrors, do you think she says - no darling, angle your body this way, it looks way better…? I bet she totally does.
Enjoy your weekend!

Hello Ladies!
FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE
RobPatz strumming on a guitar on the set of Remember Me. The Twilight gang will reassemble in Vancouver on 17th August to being production on Eclipse, finishing on 31st October (Halloween for those of you half asleep), a few weeks before New Moon hits the screens on 20th November. Eclipse will be directed by David Slade (directed Josh Hairnet in 30 Days of Night) and is written by Dexter writer Melissa Rosenberg, it's apparently being released on 30th June 2010.
SACHA BARON COHEN ANTICS CAUSE TROUBLE
SBC's alter ego Bruno features in this month's issue of GQ Magazine. The shoot was done at Birmingham High School, in LA with some of it's football players. Word is the kids involved had a ball, but that didn't stop the LA Unified School District from punishing the principal and athletic director of the high school for allowing its football team to pose in the photographs with Brüno. Pictures include SBC dressed in tight red underwear with a white cup, cleats, knee-high socks and shoulder pads playing with his pigskin and leading players in various drills on the field. The district's superintendent, Ramon Cortines, has labeled them "provocative" and "inappropriate" and said they violated rules regarding commercial film shoots on school grounds. An investigation by the district found that despite student participants obtaining parental consent for the 16th of April shoot, the release form didn't specifically address the nature of the images. Cortines would not elaborate on the disciplinary measures the Principal & Athletic Director will face, citing privacy laws in regards to personnel matters. ………thoughts??
POOR PARIS HAS SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS
As we know, Parisite Hilton likes to act like she's sweetness and sugarplums in front of the cameras, but behind closed doors (actions which the world is inevitably subject to via P's phone getting hacked AGAIN or her "forgetting" to pay rent on storage units, or a naughty little video or two), P is anything but angelic. She's been witnessed and caught on film yelling racial slurs, doing drugs and doing endless men, just for starters. That's how the world sees her, but Princess P's got a more angelic view of herself, as per her guest appearance on Kathy Griffin's show, My Life on the D-List earlier this week. They went shopping together and Kathy made a joke about going downtown…to which Paris looked utterly disgusted and said, "I never do that. My mom always taught me only ugly girls need to go down on their knees and do things like that." Ummm, One Night in Paris anyone??? Every man and their dogs seen that little performance, oh and then there's all those visits to the bathroom with Douggie…..I'm getting the feeling that Paris' 15 minutes of fame are nearly over!
STEPHEN KING PAYS TRIBUTE TO MJ
Before you start, technically I'm not actually talking about his demise and the sh*$t storm that's brewing….I just thought that of the MANY tributes flooding in, and divided opinions of him, Stephen King is true to form and hit's the nail on the head. In the new issue of Entertainment Weekly - a special edition dedicated to MJ - Stephen King, who is a regular columnist for the magazine, remembers Michael: Sixteen years ago, the King of Pop called the king of horror with an idea: What if they paired up to make the scariest music video ever? "One day during preproduction, I was in on a conference call about the choreography, and Michael fell asleep. On another occasion, he called my wife, wanting the phone number for wherever I was that day. She gave it to him. Michael called back five minutes later, on the verge of tears. He hadn't had a pencil, he said, so he'd tried to write the number on the carpet with his finger, and he couldn't read it. My wife gave him the number again. Michael thanked her profusely…but never called me. The video contains some of the best, most inspired dancing of Jackson's career. If you look at it, I think you'll see why Fred Astaire called Jackson 'a helluva mover.' You'll also see Jackson's sadness and almost painful desire to please. Yes, I am strange, his eyes say, but I am doing the best I can, and I want to make you happy. Is that so bad? This is a sadness that's all too common in people who possess talent in amounts so great it has become a burden instead of a blessing. Despite being extraordinarily beautiful (although he had probably already begun the elective surgeries that would ruin those amazing looks), Jackson was painfully shy, and difficult (sometimes impossible) to talk to, but watching that old video still makes me happy…and no, that's not bad. It's worth noting that he was never convicted of anything in criminal court, and when I asked Mick—who hung out with Michael occasionally— he was emphatic in his belief that Michael Jackson was indeed innocent of the abuse allegations. In the court of public opinion, however, he was found guilty of Weirdness in the First Degree, and ended up secluded in one haunted castle after another. Finally, he died in one. Strange man. Lost man. And not unique in his passing. Like James Dean, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, and a dozen others we could name, he just left the building far too soon. Because, man oh man, that guy could dance." If you've never seen Ghosts and you have some time, YOU TUBE: Michael Jackson Ghosts Full Version [1/4], Michael Jackson Ghosts Full Version [2/4] ….up to [4/4]
THE MOTHERSHIP HAS LANDED
Stepford Katie is of course here to shoot Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. She arrived in Melbourne with little Suri Cruise, and of course Tommy, yesterday. Upon landing they scurried off to meet up with Tommy's long time friend, Jamie Packer at the Crown Casino. Word is the Church have dispatched their top recruiter to Australia to see if he can lure Mr. Packer back. So while Katie's working, Tommy will be working too.
MEANWHILE….NICOLE'S BACK
Nicole Kidman looks refreshingly photo shopped in this new ad for a new citrus-flavored Schweppes drink. She's also currently filming new movie, Rabbit Hole. Because she's taking time off after the birth of Sunday Roast…however, watch out for happy family pics in coming weeks given that Tommy & Stepford Katie will be monopolising our headlines…..
LINDS' EARLY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS….
Remember Linds "birthday party" she had on Saturday? Turns out it the early celebration had an agenda. According to sources, Linds was paid a cool $US70k by the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to host an all-day "pre-celebration" at the hotel's Wet Republic pool party last Saturday. At the event, which served as a promotion for her Sevyn Nine self-tanning mist, Lohan changed bathing suits five times before throwing on club gear and dancing to Michael Jackson songs for the rest of the night. But friends of Lohan say the event was less of a celebration and more of an urgent attempt to pull in some cash. "None of her really close friends were there," said our insider. "The only person who was even known was Brittny Gastineau." Meanwhile, MOTY Dina Lohan has told Life & Style magazine it was her choice to quit the Living Lohan reality show….yer, like she willingly walked away from a working camera! She says they asked her to do things on the show she wasn't comfortable with - probably like be a mother!
MORE CELEBRITY DEATHS
Mollie Sugden, aka Mrs. Slocombe from Are You Being Served, died at the age of 86. Her agent said she'd been battling an illness for quite some time. Mollie is survived by her twin sons who were by her side when she and her wet pussy went off to that giant department store in the sky. Rest in peace, Mrs. Slocombe...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Gorgeous Liv Tyler is now 32, Blondie's Debbie Harry has turned 64, Claire Forlani (she with the odd eyes in Meet Joe Black) is 37, My girl Missy Ellliot is 38, Pammie Anderson is 42, Andre Braugher 47 and Dan Aykroyd is now 57.

Hello Ladies!
Only 40% of you think OUR Sam Worthington is hot??? So I'm in the minority there….but then I don't think David Beckham is hot as you know! This week I'm asking if you like Lady Gaga and want to hear more about her?
OUR ISABEL LUCAS
After all these years of writing about Lohan, Parisite Hilton, and Britney Spears, it's nice to get some new faces (that are actually way better looking and happen to be Australian) to brighten these pages, and they don't get much prettier than former Melbourne girl, OUR Isabel Lucas! She's currently in the new Transformers 2 movie. The 24-year-old up-coming next big thing in LA, currently features in the latest issue of Details magazine. It's funny reading these items because they don't know who she is, and struggle when she tells them she used to live in Kakadu! So, apart from her former relationship with Entourage star Adrian Grenier and being the passenger in the car when Shia Le Beouf had his accident while under the affluence of incohol, and the link they tried to form over her breakup with Adrian and Shia which was way off…"I don't think it's unusual to spend time with your castmate," she says. "People instantly assume you can't have a platonic friendship with someone of the opposite sex. I think this may be specific to L.A.—or America.", they don't really have a clue. Of course we know she's a bit of a greenie who protests and so there's an open warrant for her arrest in Japan due to her participation in an anti-whaling protest, and she's a former H&A girl. Her next project? A vampire thriller (cause we haven't had one of those in like 4eva) Daybreakers.
OUR ISLA OUT AND ABOUT
OUR Isla Fisher's been patiently following her man around the world. They were back in LA over the weekend for the LA premiere, and on Sunday, Isla took little Olive Cohen to the Farmers Markets.
SJP/BROKERICK BABIES - FIRST PIC
Unlike other celebrities who pimp out the pictures of their offspring to the highest bidder - apparently this family is not for sale! It is, however, available for free viewing to anyone with a computer! The new mum and dad have released the first photo of the newborn twinsies with the very unfortunate names, Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick (pictured in the arms of SJP) and Tabitha Hodge Broderick (being precariously held by dad Matthew). The couple did a similar thing when they had new big brother James Wilkie, in the hope of reducing the demand and, hopefully, the intrusion. I like it. But I also like when they charge for the privilege and then donate to charity. Please tell me thats not their couch!
BRUNO DOES SYDNEY
Sacha Baron Cohen has landed. Bruno dresses as a knight complete with shining armor at the premiere of his comedy of the same name at the State Theatre on Monday in Sydney. Did you see him on Today Tonight? Poor Tracy thought she's gotten away unscathed until Bruno's final question to her as she was winding up the interview - he asked is she and Gordon were back together! Snort. Her face & spluttering was priceless!
I GUESS / YOU GUESS
Classic story of celebrities who think they're importante. This one's supposed to be so professional and is constantly portrayed as sweet, some, but not nearly as many diva stories about her as there are about her peers, though if you're getting in the way of her meal, and her Maybach (a car), you better bust a move out of the way, even if you're an old woman in an emergency situation. So, it was two blocks from the Waverly very recently. An elderly woman - 84 years old - had a hearty. The paramedics arrived immediately and tried to stabilise her before moving her to the hospital. It became a traffic nightmare so the cops had to redirect traffic over to the next block because the ambulance was waiting for the patient. A black Maybach approaches, disregards the police instruction, and drives towards the ambulance. An officer stops the car and tells the driver to go back around the block. Driver: We're going to the Waverly Inn. Cop: We have an emergency situation and everyone has to re-route to the next block over - just go one block around. (Moaning and groaning and whining was heard from the female passenger in the back seat). Driver: Isn't there any way we could get through? Cop: Sir, this is an emergency vehicle, we have an emergency situation - EVERYone must re-route. You'll have to go around the block. And then an imperious (female) voice pipes up from the back of the Maybach.."Well can't they just move the ambulance?" The cop can't believe his ears! Annoyed he gives it to her, informing our star that "LIFE OR DEATH situations dictate traffic decisions - not anything or ANYONE else. You must re-route now." She grudgingly told her driver to find another way, inconvenienced that a senior citizen had to choose her mealtime to have a heart attack. The nerve. Any guesses????
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
DREA DE MATTEO MOVES TO WISTERIA LANE
It's been confirmed that Drea de Matteo (Adriana on the Sopranos) has joined the cast of Desperate Housewives for season six. Now that Edie's fallen off the perch and another housewife is getting married, executive producer Marc Cherry needed to infuse Fairview with some new blood. So, in goes Drea (short for Andrea, pronounced "dray") who will apparently play an Italian, Edie-like replacement with a son and husband. Word is she'll be around for the whole season, and they're currently looking for some one to play her husband.
ALSO IN OTHER TV LAND NEWS…
It's been confirmed that after months of negotiations, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit stars Mariska Hargitay and that yummy Christopher Meloni have renewed their contracts for two more years. Season 11 starts filming at the end of September.
LADY GAGA
Nothing to say.
JUSTIN IN LONDON WITHOUT THE BEIL
Wee Justin is in London to promote William Rast, with a fashion show launch of the Fall 2009 collection, accompanied by his homie/BFF/biz partner Trace Ayala. He's been in town since before the weekend, and enjoying himself immensely at Elton John's annual White Tie & Tiara party. Here he is on the runway today. But where's The Beil you ask? Back in LA walking her remaining dog and being rejected for more jobs after mostly negative reviews for her crappy performance in Easy Virtue. Word is Justin wanted some space, probably partly due to that recent (and premature) buzz about an alleged engagement - supposedly fuelled by her camp, evidently put him off. Not sure if I buy it. Somehow she keeps clinging. For now though let's pretend it's practically OVA and see how quickly her publicist counters. I love this game.
BRIT'S BACK TO BROWN
Last time she went brown, she was in touch with her crazy, and umbrellas were used…and then it was shaved off….and it was bad. But this time she looks pretty sane and in control, meds are under control, and she looks happy. Here's Brit out and about this past weekend with Jason. She's been given her a couple of weeks reprieve from her hectic Circus Tour, then it's back to Paris for a 4th of July show. She performs through July then gets a month off and resumes at the end of August. There's also a rumour that they're also negotiating a performance at the VMAs. Word is they want to take one of the numbers from her show, change up a few things to specialise it for MTV, and have her open as redemption for Gimme More.
LAST WORD ON MICHAEL JACKSON
Let me just start by saying you have nooooooo idea how hard it was finding ANY gossip that wasn't sad smut related to MJ, his kids, his money etc. I vowed over the weekend, after my item on Friday that I wouldn't talk about him any more, and that it's everywhere else, you could come here for other stuff not related to the sadness of his life and sudden death. So, let me just get these little bits off my chest, and then I can rest! Pappa Joe (the Pappa Joe before Jessica's dad) went along to the BET awards over the weekend, as they were honoring Michael. We all know the stories about Michael's childhood. Anyhoo, Pappa Joe's walking the red carpet at the BET Awards - as you do days after your son dies, not even pretending to be sad, and CNN's Don Lemon moseys up for a chat. Don suggested to him that this must be awful for the entire family, Joe said, "It has. The world lost the biggest star." But what he really meant by that is...."I just lost my favorite cash cow! MOOO HOO! " You'd almost wonder why he went, but then - if you watch the video, there's the answer about the 3:20 mark….Joe took the opportunity to plug his new production company and some Blu-Ray Discs he's putting out. I'm surprised Joe didn't go all out by saying, "And Michael Jackson will be buried in NIKE sneakers, because NIKE was his favorite brand. Just do it. Yesh, he loved NIKE. Also, Michael was also looking forward to seeing ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS which hits theaters this Wednesday, 1st of July.........." Oh, and another opportunity to plug at the house when reporters were talking to him, and then there's Michael's mother who went shopping in Target hours after his death, just after she asked the kid's nanny if she knew of any money stashed in the house? Oh, and then there's his sister La Toya and other family members who have not even let the dust settle in his house before going in there and grabbing the lot! And BTW, Debbie Rowe gave no interview - nor was a report leaked from the Coroner's office. It's all codswallop! Oh, and Papp Joe Jackson is a pig.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Gary Busey is turning 65. I'm telling you this because there's a lesson in there about drug use kids! See, back in the 80's kids, Uncle Gary came to Australia to visit a friend of Pandora's American basketball star husband while my friend was overseas on business. Uncle Gary and Uncle Danny decided to party it up and proceeded, during a two week period, to snort up several hundred thousand dollars worth of party powder! Subsequently, said friend and her Basketball Star hubby lost their business, a very successful restaurant in Sydney. So, Gazza's been indulging since the 80's….looking very together and in control nowadays don't you think??
MOORIAH'S OBSESSION WITH EM CONTINUES
First picture is in fact the queen of Hello Kitties herself, she's dressing as an Eminem type for her new video Obsessed. Because Eminem is clearly obsessed with Mooriah and she's absolutely NOT obsessed with him. Second pic is of Mariah shooting her video outside of The Plaza hotel in NY yesterday. He says they totally did it - she keeps saying they never got past first base! I don't believe that she and Eminem only kissed (please! they totally did it!).
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
MERCY, NEW ALBUMS AND PHOTOSHOP
Madge steps out of the London Kabbalah Centre with little Mercy on Sunday. Pappa Guy was there too with little David and Roco. Madonna's new Louis Vuitton ads have been released. Louis Vuitton seem to have gone all out in an effort to keep Madge looking eternally youthful cause I'm thinking she looks almost plastic in this latest ad. In particular, the fingers of her right hand seem to someone else ala a cut n paste job. Madonna posed for acclaimed photographer Steven Meisel, who BTW, shot her controversial 1992 book Sex, and also took the previous season's ad, with Jesus. She was reportedly paid £6.5million for the campaign. Nice work if you can get it. And finally, it was announced on Friday that Madonna, in fulfillment of her longtime contract with Warner Bros. Records, will release a greatest hits collection entitled Iconography this September.
ANNE HATHAWAY IS VIOLA
Anne Hathaway shares a lingering kiss with her boyfriend Adam Shulman earlier this week while out in NYC. What a difference a year makes don't you think? That shady swindler is but a distance memory! Nice to see her happy again. Anne's been rehearsing furiously for Twelfth Night in Central Park, which opened on Saturday night. Her performance is already getting rave revues, proving that the Oscar nominee can strut her stuff onstage too! Word is she's present, generous, and always prepared. How refreshing! Meanwhile…..
LOHAN HAS STARTED HER JULY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS
Usually, you only see pristine creatures like this roaming the side streets looking for some paid action. But Las Vegas got a treat when Linds showed up to the MGM Grand looking like she had just been released by the police after spending the night in the chokie. She's in town to celebrate her (wait for it....hold on to something....seriously) TWENTY-THIRD BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Girlfriend seriously looks 40. So, here she is, surrounded by sycophants, soaking up the sun and the pap spotlight, changing 5 times over the course of the afternoon just to make sure every photograph sells. It's the beginning of her birthday week - what's to be a 10 day rager that hopefully will not culminate with her in a coma! Meanwhile, over the weekend Linds decided to post this picture on her Twitter, with this comment; "MJ was playing when this was taken, I'm not that much of narcissist". Um, yes. Yes you are. Of course your way to pay respects to MJ was to take off your pants and stick your hand in your undies then take a picture. I mean, why wouldn't you? You're Lindsay Lohan!
BRUNO'S LA PREMIERE
So far in Bruno's quest for epic world domination, and the promotion of his new movie Bruno, we've seen premieres all over Europe - but this weekend, Sacha brought his act to America. We've already seen some pretty outlandish outfits, so naturally the LA premiere at Grauman's Chinese theater had to be equally out there. So what did he do? Oh, he just came riding down Hollywood Boulevard straddling a large disco-ball styled mirrored tank. As you do! Bruno wore his own cut down version of a military uniform. He was also on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Conan asked Bruno to dance for him. A Lady Gaga song comes on and Bruno then dry-humps the desk, jumps up on the desk and starts dancing, then he straddles Conan and … dry humps him too. As you do!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Quiet achiever, John Cusack is 43, Kathy Bates is 61 (love her), Mary Stuart Masterson (Fried Green Tomatoes, Benny & Joop with Johnny D…) is now 43, Mel Brooks is 83, maybe gaybe Ed Westwick 22, A Kardashian, named Khloe is 25 (they're like Daddos), Tobey Maguire is 34, even though he looks like he hasn't yet reached puberty, and Vera Wang is 60.
Enjoy your day!
