Hello Ladies!
MICHAEL JACKSON HAS DIED
I've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50. Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were apparently unable to revive him, when they arrived he had no pulse and they never got a pulse back. A source has said Michael was dead when paramedics arrived. They took him to the hospital but he was completely unresponsive. Word is La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Michael was pronounced dead. Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II. Story developing...(Please God those kids don't go to La Toya!) Say what you will about Michael Jackson, he's better known over recent years for his court room dramas but in essence he was a musical genius. He sold millions of albums, entertained millions - if not billions - of people, and inspired countless others. And for me, there's a teenage memory attached to so many of his songs! There is no one yet with as much talent and dedication to his music who is even close to taking his place. Hopefully his passing will give Michael, and many others, peace. No more demons.
Brooke Shields: "My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael. He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing."
Madonna: "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
FOR ANYONE FEELING SORRY FOR PEREZ THIS PAST WEEK
Here's what he originally posted when news broke that Michael Jackson had had a heart attack (Thanks David).
FARAH FAWCETT HAS DIED
ROBPATZ & KRISTEN STEWART OUT AND ABOUT - BUT NOT TOGETHER
Seems they're not sitting around pining for each other. Word is that Kristen was having a lot of fun at a house party in Burbank Tuesday night, where she was hanging out with some of her costars from The Runaways. "They were just all sitting around, talking about their day, laughing, having a good time," spills a fellow partier. "It was interesting because at one point I heard them talking about Kristen having so much power on the set," blabs the source, "but they all were just laughing about it since they're all friends." Kristen went home alone. No Michael Angarano vistis. Rob Patz spies have said, "He's been spotted all around the city—hot spots and dive bars," dish our NYC eyes. "But every time Rob's out, he's very low-key and mellow, just hanging with friends. You won't find him trying to be the life of the party, hitting on every girl that comes around. Because trust me, lots of girls have tried." So, thus far, there has been no reunion between the two. Meanwhile OUR Emilie de Ravin continues to be a very brave girl……here's some shots from Rob & Emilie's movie Remember Me (a story of a young couple whose budding relationship is complicated by a series of family tragedies that test their bond) taken yesterday in NY's Little Italy. And from yesterday, pictures of a bloody RobPatz, in other scenes that were filmed on Wednesday. Have to say, was a shock to see them yesterday morning, given the hassles he's been having with the mobs of crazed Twilunatics! In other vampire news, True Blood's Stephen Moyer has told Marie Claire what he thinks of Edward Cullen is, He's a p-ssy! He's the slim-Fast, Diet Coke of vampires." Ha!
THE REAL JENNIFER ANISTON
Sans lighting, the right angle, a fresh fix of botox…….you can see her years of sun-tanning are starting to take effect. She's on the set of her new movie with Gerry, Bounty in Atlantic City.
RACHEL HUNTER'S BEEN DUMPED
You have to feel sorry for Lovely Kiwi Super Model Rachel Hunter. The 39-year-old ex-wife of Rod Stewart was busy putting the finishing touches on her mid August wedding when her fiancé, 27-year-old Canadian hockey player Jarrett Stoll, called off the big event. In a statement, Rachel's rep says, "The August wedding of Rachel Hunter and Jarret Stoll has been canceled and the couple have decided to split. We ask you to respect Rachel and her family's privacy during this extremely upsetting time." Jarret popped the question last August after they had been together for two years. How did Rachel find out? Jarret Stoll sent out emails to guests telling them that the wedding had been cancelled! Friends and family are comforting Rachel who is said to be devastated. Douche!
LAST WORD ON THE PEREZ & THE PEAS
So surprise surprise, Perez is suing the Pea's Manager, Polo Molina for 'battery and intentional infliction of emotion distress'. Only in America. Meanwhile, Perez has had an argument via Twitter with John Mayer, which consisted of over a dozen saucy back-and-forth posts. Perez tirelessly defending his honor while John Mayer, who I have a new found respect for, suggests better ways Perez could have handled the situation with Will.I.Am. Mayer finished off his argument by calling Perez a "dumb sh*t." As I posted on Twitter, PEREZ YOU GOT HIT BECAUSE YOU PROVOKED A FIGHT! No one feels sorry for you. Stop crying. Suck it up and take some responsibility. I lost all respect for Perez when he posted a picture of Desperate Housewives' Marcia Cross getting medicine for her chemotherapy undergoing husband and Perez made fun of him for being constipated - as most chemo patients are. Does anyone else find it totally ridiculous that Perez called Will.I.Am a "thug"? Or that he even thinks of him as a thug? Why, Perez? Because he's black? Please. Will.I.Am is about as far from a thug as you can get. Perez is spouting some racist assumptions, in addition to self-hating homophobic insults. Perez picked the wrong Pea to mess with. They roll deep. Meanwhile, last night Fergie's husband Josh Duhamel appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote Transofrmers and when Jimmy jokingly asked him about his wife beating up gossip blogger Perez Hilton, Josh commented, "She's a regular badass, my wife." He then went onto say, "I try not to get into it especially now because I don't think he deserves that much—he's got more press than he deserves from this whole thing." Josh also said that Perez got what he deserved: "He goes a little below the belt…and when you poke somebody in the chest enough and when you call them enough names, I think it's good to get your nose bloody." Jimmy teased that Josh should have been the one to punch Perez. And Josh's response: "I kind of wish it was me!"

JOHNNY DEPP'S PUBLIC ENEMIES PREMIERE
Do you care if his hair is marinated in gel? Here's Johnny, at the premiere of Public Enemies in LA on Wednesday. A man who has always rocked his own style. Always humble and gracious (like OUR Huge). Johnny Deep the Movie Star. One of the biggest movie stars in the world. And did you hear he tipped a restaurant $4,000?
Enjoy your weekend!

p.s. Nick Lachey and Vanessa Manilla Folder are over. Are you still awake? Oh, Katie Holmes is NOT pregnant - too much to do, and word is it was Tommy who wanted her to do the Judy Garland performance….what is it they say about Judy Garland and gays…? Oh, and Lilly Allen wore a blonde wig while dining at Nobue in London on Wednesday. What do you think of her as a blonde??

Hello Ladies!
THE BRODERICK BABIES HAVE ARRIVED
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's babies have arrived via a surrogate mother in Ohio. Here's the official announcement from their peeps - and checkout what they called the poor kids, "Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are delighted to announce the healthy arrival of their two daughters at 3:58 p.m.," the couple's representatives said in a statement released this afternoon. Ready….."Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed 5 pounds, 11 ounces, and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds. Both Hodge and Elwell are family names on SJP's side. The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon." Yup. Poor kids, especially considering they have a brother with a normal name, James Wilkie!
CAMMIE D GETS A STAR
Cameron Diaz received her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday. Tommy and his Stepford Katie were there to show their support, along with Lucy Liu (but not Drew…..things must still be icy between them). Two things. Firstly, what in the name of all things holy has Cammie done to her face??? Is it botox?? And secondly, you know Tommy only shows up if it's to his benefit and he wants to promote…and while he's in an upcoming movie with Cammie, I'm thinking it has more to do with the slightly bulgy belly Stepford Katie is showing through her see-through loose white top, the one under the nanna cardie……? Kills it when you see him like that, so little and desperate with that crazed look in his eyes, don't you think? Thoughts?
DREW & MAC DUDE OUT AND ABOUT AGAIN
But they're not dating, right? And again, what possessed her to step outside wearing this??
MORE INAPPROPRIATE MILEY PICTURES CIRCUMVENT THE GLOBE
More controversial pictures of Miley Cyrus have surfaced on the Internet. But this time Miley's not posing topless, flashing her bra or mocking other cultures. These were taken by the director of her most recent film The Last Song, one Mr Adam Shankman. And while the picture of her trying to look seductive on the chair really looks like she's constipated and she's trying to get things moving, there's a 1000 more appropriate ways the director could have taken a picture with his star, no? Oh, and then he posted them on Twitter. As you do. Adam Shankman is 44. When he realized the pictures were causing yet another Internet shiz storm for his 16-year-old star, he went back to his Twitter page to defend them: On Monday @adammshankman said: Miley is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly, and is allowed to have fun in the make up room! Seriously! Lighten up or no more behind the scenes pics! She's like my angel little sister. Where's her parents? Who will they blame for this lot of pictures?
NOW GLAAD IS AFTER PEREZ
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is snakey and speaking out against openly gay celebrity blogger Perez Hilton after he posted that hysterical prima donna video and called will.i.am a faggot. Rashad Robinson, Senior Director of Media Programs at GLAAD said in a statement: "These are vulgar anti-gay slurs that feed a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community. For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is, quote, 'The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,' is incredibly dangerous. It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting anti-gay attitudes. We have reached out to Hilton and asked him to apologize for promoting this anti-gay slur and we would ask media outlets to avoid repetition of the slur in their coverage of this story." Hear hear! So of course Perez couldn't help himself, and issued this whiney response, "I am saddened GLAAD chose to victimize me further by criticizing me for how I non-violently dealt with a very scary situation that, unfortunately, turned violent. While I doubt I will get an apology from GLAAD, nor do I expect one, I would just hope people know how difficult it is to intellectualize a situation and think rationally when a thug disguised as a musician is screaming at your face and intimidating you. I am just very fortunate and grateful that nothing more serious happened to me." I'm thinking Perez would have been one of THOSE kids, you know, the one who would harass a dog over and over again, until the dog retaliated and bit him, and then he would run home and demand that his parents make the owner put down that vicious dog. Oh, and let's play detective for a minute...he was hit once so...how did he then manage to get a black eye which is awfully neat and dark I might add....?
NEW NEW MOON NEWS
Haven't had any for a while, so I thought I'd show you the cover for the movie tie-in edition of New Moon. UK publisher Little, Brown Book Group revealed the Jake/Bella cover to EW. And while Kristen Stewart and RobPatz are busy making other movies, Taylor delighted a mob of screaming fans at the MMVA's in Canada over the weekend (similar to the MTV awards in the US).
TRANSFORMERS AUSSIE ADDITION
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen stars OUR Isabel Lucas. Isabel had these deep thoughts to share about her role in Transformers, "It's so enjoyable playing a character that's so different from yourself, because you can really go and take risks." Right now she's better known for dating Adrian Greiner, but looks like that's all about to change! Here she is picking up a smoothie in California on Monday.
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
STRAIGHT INTO THE REGIMENTED LIFE
As we know, little Mercy arrived in London from Malawi via private jet early Saturday morning….just in time to join her new family for Kabbalah services, yep, that's right, ON Saturday in London. Even pappa Guy helped welcome Madonna's new addition before taking Rocco and David for the weekend. Mercy looked sweet in a little pink dress outside Madonna's apartment yesterday morning, though she's seems understandably a wee bit confused by all of the attention.
CHRIS BROWN
The hearing was very early this morning our time. Chris Brown pleaded not guilty to two felonies, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury and making criminal threats against 21-year-old Rihanna. Here's the slap on the wrist he got for allegedly almost choking her to the point of suffocation and then leaving her to fend for herself, compulsary domestic violence classes (will he even attend?), he can't go within 5 metres of Rihanna at any public event they both attend and he can't contact her in any way. He also has to do 180 days community service, oh and he's on 5 years probation for the assault. Turns out, you can savagely beat up your significant other in exchange for some community service—don't worry about any jail time if you're a celebrity. "Celebrity light sentencing' is a huge disrespect to every abused woman out there. What I'm even more snakey about is Rihanna made it all the way to the courtroom and she didn't get to testify against her attacker so her side still remains unheard to this day, and I doubt we ever will hear it. Wish she would start talking and share her experience so if anything this viciousness doesn't happen again—to others or to her. Don't pretend like it never happened, Ri.
PEREZ HILTON V BLACK EYED PEAS
Here's what went down. Perez was at a nightclub that the BEP were also at. Perez was hanging off Lady Gaga, which he's been doing for weeks now. Fergie confronted Perez about how he's been bad mouthing her and calling her FuggieFug etc. Perez said he had no problem with her, just didn't like their new record The E.N.D.. They had words, and she walked away upset. Will.i.am stepped up because Fergie's like his little sister, and gave Perez a piece of his mind saying, "You don't have to be disrespectful." Will.i.am says that's all he said. So, then at around 3am, Perez gets on Twitter and starts blabbing to anyone and everyone, very specifically, "I was assaulted by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke," he wrote. This prompted will.i.am to not only post a You Tube response, but open up his own Twitter account to set the record straight. He said, "It isn't cool for someone to blame you and blast you with lies," the rapper tweeted. And then he added, "It's one thing to tell your opinion and it's another thing to go overboard and be blatantly rude for no apparent reason," says will.i.am. "I don't even know what gives this guy the authority to be so rude like that." Things just turned to shizzle from there, per will.i.am, who claims the openly gay Perez then called will.i.am a faggot and Will says some fans who witnessed the exchange got "all, like crazy" and "started some stuff," which accounted for how Perez ended up bleeding. In a follow up video post, will.i.am says he heard about Perez's tweets blaming him for the confrontation and said, "This dude twists it and says that I assaulted him. When I was the one that came to him with respect and he was the one who called me a [faggot] outside the club," will.i.am says. "Whatever. I hit you, Perez? Come on, dude. I didn't hit you. I told you I didn't like the fact that you disrespected us. It's cool to have your opinion but dude, apparently you were bleeding outside the club...Sounds like someone wants mad attention and is not really concerned about his health. "Shame on you. Shame on your behavior and that's just messed up. Peace." Where's the love? Then Perez responded in his own scathing and typically prima donna manner and said that will.i.am tried to intimidate him. The tearful Perez also called the rap star a "coward" and a "disgusting human being." "Violence is never the answer. Ever. No matter what anyone says. Blood should never be drawn. Another person should never be hit. That's why people die," the blogger says. "I was standing my ground without being violent or physical." Of his run-in with Fergie: "I was being honest and letting her have her moment. I'm a big boy. I dish it. I can take it." He says the Peas were so offended that Molina, the group's tour manager, "clubs me in the eye...and punches me two or three times." "I touch my eye and it was bleeding...I thought my eye was falling out of my head!" Hilton says. "It is unacceptable and talk about unprofessional." Then he lets will.i.am have it. "Really…F--k you. Because you f--king lied...And frankly, will.i.am, I'd have more respect for you if you hit me yourself." A spokesman for the Toronto police said there was an "altercation" around 3 a.m. at a club, following the MuchMusic Awards (the Peas performed "Boom Boom Pow" and won the prize for Best International Group). BEP homey Polo Molina, 36, was arrested on a single count of assault and ordered to appear in court on the 5th of August. Police declined to ID the victim, but said he only suffered "minor injuries." Ok, firstly, if Perez could "Twitter" why couldn't he just call the police himself??? Seems to me that now that the beauty pageant fiasco has died down, Perez is looking to blatantly sensationalize another situation to get himself back in the media spotlight! And he calls the BEP 'unprofessional' but he's the one who posts a hysterical rant on YOU TUBE and again calls Fergie ugly! He's the openly gay guy calling someone a "faggot"! Someone's getting just a little bit too importante! YOU TUBE: WILL.I.AM explaining about Perez and Perez's hysterical prima donna reply YOU TUBE: Perez Hilton going off about the black eyed peas
AND IN LIGHTER NEWS….
The Tim Burton-ized version of Alice in Wonderland will be out March, 2010, which seems so far away. Here's a little sneak peak to show how awesomely trippy Burton's re-imagining of the Lewis Carroll classic will be. Johnny Depp reunites with his bestie director friend for the seventh time, to play the Mad Hatter. And Johnny D isn't the only one getting a crazy Burton makeover...The director's long time partner Helena Bonham Carter is going for the deranged clown look with serious eyebrow penciling and receding hairline artfully combined with clown makeup, and if that's not potentially terrifying enough for children, she'll also have a moat filled with bobbing heads to go along with her favorite phrase, "Off with their heads!" Then there's Ms. Anne Hathaway, who is the White Queen and dons a blonde wig. Here's three official pictures….
ANOTHER PHOTO SHOOT FOR EMMA WATSON
In keeping with today's magical theme…here's Miss Emma in a shoot for Teen Vogue at a sprawling old English country manor. Gone is Harry's overachieving friend Hermione Granger. Next stop for Emma is University in September. Her schedule will be tight with filming but, as Emma puts it, "I've been saying that I wanted to go to university since I was eleven, so if they didn't let me, I'd be pretty upset." (She'll likely have to shoot over her winter break, she says, and since the plot does involve polyjuice potion—"Helena Bonham Carter will be playing Hermione for a bit.") She's 19 now, so basically she's been a world-famous name for more than half of her life. And that kind of fame has its downsides: Although the famously rabid British tabloids were relatively hands-off during her teens, they celebrated her eighteenth birthday by sending so many paparazzi to cover her London party that, she says, "I literally couldn't get out the door at the end of the night." ("The worst thing," she adds, indignantly, "was that they laid down on the pavement and took pictures up my skirt. Now I'm going to wear cycling shorts whenever I get out of cars.") Her year-long romance with Jay Barrymore is reportedly "on/off," but Emma insists that they've actually been consistently together, and that "the only reason it's 'on/off' is because the papers make up so much rubbish!" People are always saying how easy going and good natured she is. Her favourite shot was with the miniature horses, and even when the horses she's been asked to lead picturesquely down a garden path become overexcited, she simply giggles and awaits her next direction. Maybe it's her sweetness that gets her the better photo ops.
McCONAUGHEY'S GOING TO BE A DADDY AGAIN
Little Levi is going to be a big brother! What happened to that theory that if you were a massive stoner, it affected your sperm count?? Apparently not! McConaughey celebrated his first Father's Day with 11-month-old son Levi by announcing that he and his partner, Brazilian model Camila Alves, are adding to the family. "Happy Father's Day. It's my first, and the last 11 months with Levi and Camila have been the most rewarding adventure to date. We have more blessed news to celebrate this Father's Day that makes this time next year double the fun. Levi is going to be a big brother," the 39-year-old star writes on his reggae-playing website, matthewmcconaughey.com. "Yeah, we pulled off the greatest miracle in the world one more time. Camila and I are expecting our second child, bringing more life into the world, making more to live for. The future looks bright as the family grows, and we thank you for all the well wishes you send our way." The bongo-loving Texan signed off with his catchphrase: "Viva la evolucion, naturally, and in the mean times and all time, just keep livin, Matthew and Camila." Viva la evolucion? Ha. Do I have to be fully stoned to understand that last sentence?
IS ROB PATZ MAKING CRAZY DIVA DEMANDS?
Um, no. In fact, despite recent security issues that had mobs of crazed Twilunatics dry-humping the glittery one, seems he has the same demeanor as Hermione Granger, and sources at Summit tell us Rob might be the most easygoing celeb they've ever worked with! "He's always so relaxed and flexible—it's amazing. Someone with that star level has power. And he doesn't use it at all," says someone deep in the Twilight fold. Sweet.
BRUNO'S BERLIN PREMIERE
Here's Bruno at the Berlin premiere of his movie. And here's an email I received last week. Wonder where he got his inspiration from?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Meryl Streep has hit the big 6 0, Carson Daly's now 36, Erin Brockovich is 49, Michael J Fox's better half, Tracy Pollan turns 49, would you believe Cyndi Lauper is 56 and the Bionic Woman, Lindsay Wagner has also just turned 60.

Hello Ladies!
According to our onsite poll, surprisingly 56% of you agree with me and think Orly Bloom is NOT hot! This week I want to know what you think of OUR Sam Worthington…I watched Terminator Salvation on Friday night, and I'm going with HOT!!! He's now on my to-do list. Next he gets to dispatch killer monsters in the upcoming Clash of the Titans. A remake movie loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus, and here he is, in a toga - enjoy!
MERCY JOINS HER NEW FAMILY
Madonna, Lourdes, Rocco and David and a gang of nannies, and an entourage of assistants arrived in London Friday to prepare for the arrival of the newest member of the family: Mercy. According to UsWeekly Mercy popped into London Saturday morning after leaving her native Malawi Friday night. As you know, Madge sent a private jet, a nanny, a child nurse and one of her assistants to pick up her newest daughter. I know you're casting a judgmental gaze upon Madge for not going to Africa to pick up her own daughter, but don't! First of all, at least she didn't send Mercy by FedEx. Second of all, this way is less traumatizing for Mercy than being completely swamped at the airport by a gazillion papps.
GEORGIE GETS IN TOUCH WITH MAX
Take this story with a grain of salt, but it's so weird it could just be true! Georgie Clooney's longest every relationship (his words) was for 18 years with his pet porker Max. They were so close that Georgie would often take him to interviews or photo shoots, and even let Max sleep in his bed every now and again. Of course, poor old Max went off to the great pig pen in the sky back in 2006, while Georgie was off promoting The Good German, which left Georgie bereft. Word is that recently, Georgie wondered how Max is going up there in heaven, so he hired a psychic to speak to his piggy friend. George apparently told a friend, "The psychic told me Max had a great life with me. He is very happy in spirit and still hangs out with me sometimes. I am not sure she was telling the truth but I do want to believe her." Umm, of course the psychic told him Max misses him. What the hell is she going to say? That the angels turned him into bacon? But, there's a message in here for all the girls out there trying to land Georgie, take note, he loves it when you take up the whole bed, squeal and wake him up with your loud farting.
JENNIFER ANISTON DINES WITH BRAD
Saturday night, Jenni was spotted dining out in NY with Bradley Cooper (who BTW has an ex wife called Jennifer….) and the two were later spotted ducking out of a restaurant together and into an awaiting car. As you'll recall, earlier this year there were rumours of a flirtation between the two, which Bradley laughed off saying if only he could be so lucky! Well, apparently he is! Hmmm, here's where I get cynical. Don't you think it's just a little teeny bit of a coincidence that they're 'spotted' out on a date conveniently just as Jen's new movie preview for Love Happens hits the web, and of course after the Brange have been making headlines all week for their philanthropic efforts? Oh, and Bradley Cooper is the current king of the box office having a triumphant run with The Hangover…..so he's the perfect man for her arm for this summer's movie promos, don't you think? This is how they work.
REMEMBER ME SMOOCHING
OUR Emilie best be getting herself some extra security or hot tailing it back to the Island because she's about to be stalked by a mob of crazed Twilunatics will hunt her down for kissing the sparkly one, given their not exactly in touch with reality and therefore incapable of distinguishing between a real kiss and a scene in their upcoming movie Remember Me.
GISELE BUNDCHEN IS PREGGERS
Just as they denied denied denied they were engaged and then they went and got married…..last week there were denials that Gisele was pregnant, although I may have mentioned it…. And now, People have confirmed, so that means Gisele and Tom Brady are un-officially announcing via a confirmation for People. So, here's my question, what will the baby of two ridiculously hot people look like? There are exceptions to the rule (Halle's baby is gorgeous….) but generally they cancel each other's hotness and the kid is alas, fairly unattractive. "Gisele will be an excellent mother," a 'source' told People. "She's always wanted kids." (like Bridget's). This is her first real child; Tom Brady has a son, John, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. Here's Gisele last week on the runway.
HAPPY DADDY'S DAY USA
Some delightful daddys for your enjoyment. Jason Bateman and his 2 ½ year old daughter Francesca. OUR Huge Jackman with his 3 ½ year old daughter Ava. Gabriel Aubry with his and Halle's daughter Nahla (15 months) and Seal with 5 year old Leni.
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
ROBERT PATTINSON HIT BY A CAB!
I've come to the conclusion that Twilunatics are officially the craziest of the lot. But before you burst a boiler. He's fine. He was "clipped" by a cab while running across a street in NY, like just as the cab screeched to a stop, so he was not hurt. There's two stories circulating, one that he was leaving the Strand bookstore in NY after filming a scene, it was raining heavily and a hysterical mob attacked, his security team of five had to hold back the lunatics and Rob ran into the street, where he met the cab. The second story, Summit (studio he's working for while filming Remember Me) have released this statement, "Robert Pattinson is fine. The reports are exaggerated, and the accident was not caused by fans. Production continues." The Summit rep refused to say what did cause the cab collision or whether or not additional precautions were being taken for RobPatz's safety but sources where Rob was filming, as well as bystanders, have said they did not see the accident. Again I ask, if you're a Twilunatic, you see RobPatz and you run towards him, and he runs off in the opposite direction - why would you keep chasing him?
HEIDI KLUM GOES TO THE ZOO
Gorgeous German supermodel Heidi Klum shows off her growing belly (she's pregnant with a baby girl and due later this year) as she visits the zoo in Central Park, NY with her too cute kids, Leni, Henri and Johan (pictured separately below), before doing lunch at an Italian restaurant.
COURTNEY LOVE SANS MAKEUP, STYLIST, LIGHTING & A MIRROR?
KATIE CONTINUES HER DANCE TRAINING
As I told you earlier in the week, Stepford Katie has been training hard, every waking moment, prepping for a performance on the US version of So You Think You Can Dance with choreographer Tyce Diorio. Word is she's doing a Judy Garland number, Get Happy from her musical Summer Stock. Katie will don an all black ensemble and totally channel Judy Garland, matching outfits and set… But here's the question…..there's thousands of qualified, hungry, aspiring dancers and it's Katie Holmes who gets the gig….which happens to be remarkably parallel to the title of the new movie Get Happy that Anne Hathaway is set to play the lead role in…..and given LA is a town of backstabbing opportunists, don't be shocked if somehow old Tommy is pulling some strings to steal the role for his wife. Oh, and the dance sessions may not be the escape I'd pondered them to be, given the fact that Nigel Lythgoe is heavily involved (he's directing her routine, he owns the show, and he's a judge) in her SYTYCD performance, and he was recently linked to one Priscilla Presley, who happens to worship at the House of Xenu! And here's the telling quote from a 'source', "She has talked about doing musical theater for some time now. And even though it feels strange that she'd do So You Think You Can Dance, it could be good for the next phase of her career." Hmmmm.
THE REAL REESE WITHERSPOON
Wholesome, sweetheart Reese Witherspoon is currently shooting her new movie How Do You Know? in Washington, D.C. But recently she's not sprinkling the fairy dust around. There's been a lot of snakey shots the last couple of days because like Matilda's mum Michelle Williams, Reese all sugar plums and sweetness when she needs to promote a new movie or campaign for an Oscar, but when she doesn't, look out!
AMANDA SEYFRIED IS MY NEW FAVOURITE PERSON
Mamma Mia actress Amanda Seyfried was asked if she still keeps in touch with her former Mean Girls co-star Lindsay Lohan, earlier this week. Her reaction? Amanda rolled her eyes and snapped: "Mean Girls was such a long time ago and we definitely haven't stayed in touch. And while we are on the subject, I can't stand her." LOVE it when they actually say what they feel for a change. So refreshing!
BRUNO PREMIERES
Bruno wears a bull costume (with glaringly obvious male anatomy) for the Madrid, Spain premiere of his comedy, Bruno, yesterday. He was surrounded by a bevy of hunky matadors. For the UK premiere, he mocked the Queen's Guard and for the Paris premiere he wore a gold glittered lederhosen!
THERE'S STILL HOPE
I'm steadfastly in denial about Ricky Martin's preferences. Hoping desperately that it won't turn out the same way as it did when I vehemently stood by George Michael, until that horrid little public toilet incident…but Ricky has never said either way. He recently took some time out from looking after his twin babies to talk to Spanish magazine TV Aqui about stuff and while they didn't just come straight out and ask Ricky which way he likes it, they did ask if anybody had his heart at the moment. Ricky said that his "my heart could belong to a woman or a man." So there you have it - that personal performance of "She Bangs" isn't completely out of the question after all!
Enjoy your weekend!

Hello Ladies!
Apologies for my absence yesterday, one of those days where there simply wasn't enough hours! I would also just like to formally declare Pandora's Blog a Spencer and Heidi Pratt FREE ZONE.
BRUNO'S WORLD DOMINATION STARTS
Gay Austraian fashion journalsit, Bruno had the Paris premiere of his movie Bruno earlier this week. Sacha's wife OUR Isla Fisher was there to show her support. He's also on the cover of July's issue of GQ paying homage to Jennifer Aniston's famous nakey cover shot. Here's a few little snippets from his interview: Dear Brüno, how can I get some "Efron hair"? Or at least some "Pattinson" hair"? Ich vouldn't bother getting a Zac Efron hairstyle right now, cos ich am about to change mine and he's certain to copy me again. In terms of grooming, ze only thing he hasn't copied me with ist getting his ballensack pierced— vell, he hadn't had it done ze last time ich saw him. Dear Brüno, what do you sleep in? In reality, ich sleep in a seaweed body wrap under a Zac Posen Navy-Cut Nightshirt. In mein dreams, ich sleep naked in a giant reed basket drifting slowly down ze Nile, cradled in ze arms of Daniel Radcliffe.
JADA GIVES A SNEAK PEAK INTO HER MARRIAGE
Jada Pinkett-Smith is out and about promoting her new television show HawthoRNe. So in her desire to grab as much attention as possible, Jada gave a recent interview to Redbook and shared a few little tips on how to she keeps her marriage spicy. Some of Jada's tips? Take your man to you're a friend's house and get jiggy wid it in their bedroom or bathroom, or go to your man's office and play naughty secretary. Other little tips to keep the mojo cooking in the relationship? "..Pull over to the side of the road…just switch it up. Anything it takes to keep the flame alive." Ok, mental note, never invite Will & Jada over for dinner or a party! (I'll just invite Will then).
EVA MENDES DOES CALVIN KLEIN
I'm thinking maybe Eva Mendes could possibly go on my "Who I'd Turn Gay for List". You? She's killing the new CK underwear campaign, and she's with (snotty little upstart Keira Knightly's ex) Jamie Dornan. Now, unlike DB - who looks hot in his CK tighty whities but I can't get past his voice….Jamie might not be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, and he might be the height of my 6 year old….but he's hot! What do you think? Are they hotter than the Beckhams? Oh, and in case you're confused, the Beckhams did the Spring/Summer 2009 collection, while this shoot is for the fall collection. Who knew underwear had seasons??
CHRIS BROWN'S APPEAL TO POSTPONE REJECTED
Sometimes having the money to buy the best legal heavyweight still doesn't get you out of the shiz…The California Supreme Court yesterday rejected an appeal by Chris Brown's attorney to postpone what could be an explosive preliminary hearing set for next Monday for the R&B singer, who you'll recall is charged with threatening and beating his then-girlfriend Rihanna black and blue, back in February. Both are expected to appear in court Monday. At the conclusion of Monday's preliminary hearing, the judge will decide if there is enough evidence to proceed to a jury trial. Rihanna was subpoenaed to testify and her attorney has said that she will comply with the subpoena and be a cooperative witness for the prosecution.
THE BRANGE ARE THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
Just in case there's any doubt, let me just state again, because I'm asked at least twice a day, NO, they have not broken up, and NO Bradley Spitt did not get jiggy wid Jen! Anyhoo, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation is in a giving mood this week, because they've pledged $1m to aid refugees in Pakistan, where continued violence in neighboring Afghanistan and the resurgence of the Taliban have driven millions of people in the region from their homes. As we know, Angie Jo has visited Pakistan several times as a UN High Commissioner for Refugees Goodwill Ambassador. Also last weekend, a $1m donation was made by the "Pitt family" to establish an endowment fund for the newly named (in honor of Pitt's activist mum) Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center at St. John's hospital in Springfield. Meanwhile, Angie Jo is heading to Washington today which is World Refugee Day, to talk about her cause with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
NICOLE RICHIE MAKES SAMRO SMELL THE COFFEE
There was a time when they were both drugged up and starving together, two skinny bitches partying all night and devouring the attention. But now, Nicole Richie is a devoted mother, and living the good life, gradually cutting out the viruses that had plagued her previous life, both people and substances. One of them is Lindsay Lohan. And like the best 'Mean Girl' ever, Nicole has convinced Samantha Ronson to cut that shiz out of her life too. E! is reporting that Lindsay and Sam have quit the love - yet again. Word is Nicole had a party last week and made if very clear that that SLH Lindsay wasn't welcome. So, Sam went anyhoo, subsequently Linds lost her shiz and a major domestic ensued, resulting in Sam taking off to hang with Nicole once again, and right after dinner, dumped Linds via text message. Keeping up? Breaking up by text message so doesn't count! It has to be done in person or by order of the court! Sam should probably explore the latter option (like her mother and sister have done previously). Such a fall though don't you think? To go from the promising starlett to stalker girl. She who no one wants to be friends with. The girl who drives from club to club in the middle of the night, asking the paps to help her find the object of her obsession. This is Lindsay Lohan. And still, being her mother's daughter, there is no shame only self promotion. Linds was in NY yesterday, knowing full well that we know that she's been publicly accused of theft after a magazine photo shoot (aka $500k worth of jewelry she was wearing AT THE SHOOT), knowing that we know that she's been dumped on her sorry ass yet again, but see how she smiles for the paps yesterday on a shopping outing with her 13 year old brother.
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
BRUCE & EMMA WILLIS
Aging action hero Bruce Willis and his 32 year old model wife Emma Herring have decided to share their love for each other with the world by posing in a half-nakey bondage-themed photo shoot for W Magazine. As you do. Brucey also opens up about his journey from divorcing Demi Moore to shunning monogamy to remarriage..."I went from 'F--k love' to 'Love is truly the answer. I spent the last 10 years single and, for the most part, unhappy," says Bruce. "In a dark place. I never thought that being with someone else was the answer." "I would say, 'I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.' But I was just kidding myself," he adds. "Then I started hanging around Emma, and on a day-to-day basis my life became much happier." Awww. But wait, there's more…."I hear so many people in relationships say, 'I just need a couple of days away, or even an hour away, ' " Bruce says. "But I don't want to be away from Emma at all. It's the most singular relationship I've ever had in my life." Well he may be 54, but he's still on my to-do-list!
KARL CONTINUES TO BITCH ABOUT HEIDI
Karl Lagerfeld has slithered out from under that rock where he resides, and has developed an intense dislike for gorgeous Heidi Klum and he's on a roll. So far he's said Heidi (who is a Victoria's Secret model) is too fat for the catwalk and would never walk in a high-fashion show and that no one in Paris has ever even heard of her, not even Claudia Schiffer! Now, he's decided to attack her husband, Seal, specifically mocking his skin (he has scars left over from a childhood illness). Karl said, "I am no dermatologist but I wouldn't want his skin. Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters." Ummm, looked in the mirror lately Karl? That's a bit rich coming from someone who looks like he's spent the last 20 years in a pickle jar!
ANGIE DRAWS ATTENTION TO REFUGEES
World Refugee Day is on the 20th of June20th, and this year, UNHCR Good Will Ambassador (since 2001) Angie Jo has recorded a brief public service announcement to draw attention to the terrible plight of the millions of people who have been forced to flee their homes because of war or persecution. In the message, she says, "Please don't turn away. Refugees are the most vulnerable people on earth. Every day, they are fighting to survive. They deserve our respect. Please do not forget them. Remember them on this day. World Refugee Day." In her capacity as goodwill ambassador, Angie Jo has visited more than 20 countries, according to the UNHCR site. This includes missions to refugee camps on the Iraqi border in 2008, and, to Afghanistan Nangarhar province, where "almost 850,000, or 20 percent, of all Afghan returnees have repatriated since 2002." She's also traveled to the Sudanese refugee camps in Chad, and then there's also her heavily criticized trip to the Burmese-Thailand border earlier this year. But, her contribution to World Refugee Day will most likely bring in millions of dollars and added international attention to refugee issues. For more on World Refugee Day, visit UNHCR.org.

NO WONDER THE FANS FREAK HIM OUT
The sparkly boy the whole world wants a piece of was nearly ripped to pieces by a mob of crazed Twilunatics in NY yesterday as he made his way back to his trailer on the set of his new movie Remember Me. One nutter tried to "tackle" him to the ground, and another lunged herself at him and grabbed him around the neck. What I want to know is what exactly it is she thought he'd do?? "Like, wow you're the one I've been waiting for??!" Somebody needs to turn the hose on them! Give them a squeaky toy to dry hump! But clearly not even that would work! Even if you tasered their asses and pepper sprayed them in the eyes at the same time, they still wouldn't stop. These psychos had a sighting, nothing can stop them now. they're this close to crawling through the vents to get into his trailer. You have to wonder then…How does Robert Pattinson really feel about Twilight fans? Because…in the video, it looks like he's about to lose it! Would you want that every time you step outside? Reminded me of a Zombie movie.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JFmD9DYWvs

Hello Ladies!
MADONNA GETS MERCY
As hard as this is to fathom, latest via People is that Madonna is sending for Mercy via private plane and that she'll likely NOT be personally travelling to Africa to pick up her new daughter. Just as she did when she adopted David. You'd think, this time around, she'd be all over the photo opportunity. It is, after all, a major victory. And the timing couldn't be better given she resumes her Sticky & Sweet tour on the 4th of July in London.....just sayin.
KATIE & SURI OUT AND ABOUT
Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise were out and about shopping on Friday in LA. It's rumoured that Katie is preparing for an appearance on America's version of So You Think You Can Dance. She and Suri have certainly been spending nearly every day in a dance studio rehearsing. Meanwhile, on Saturday, Tommy Cruise grabbed son Conner and popped in on the girls for a little impromptu check up visit. A. Katie looks like a mummy has sucked the life out of her….and B. Conner NEVER looks happy! Poor little poppet!
JENNIFER ANISTON HAS A SENSE OF HUMOUR
Jenni Aniston (totally killing it in a metallic Prada mini-dress) poked fun at her own personal life and her breakup with Bradley Spitt at the Crystal and Lucy Awards over the weekend, while she gave her acceptance speech. "I'm trying to be more careful than I have been in the past about the kind of movies I choose to be in," she said. "I kind of noticed something a few years ago, that there seems to be a strange parallel between the movies I'm doing and my life offscreen. It started with The Good Girl, then of course Rumor Has It, followed by Derailed. Then there was The Break-Up. If any of you have a project entitled Everlasting Love With an Adult Stable Male, I'm at table 6 and my agents are at table 12!" Jen continued the title theme in a more nostalgic light. "There's one title that I will be forever grateful for and that essentially gave me a start to anything, which was Friends," she said. "For years I got to go to work every day and I laughed and I played on the set with an unbelievably funny and creative team, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera," Aniston remembered. "To go from that experience, which honestly was the highlight of my life, to then be here standing in front of you being honored for my work in film and being allowed that transition is truly quite humbling." Hostess with the mostess, Chelsea Handler also used another of Jen's former flames as a punchline…." Jen's getting the Crystal Award for expanding the visibility of women in film, so thank you for that. You also stopped expanding the visibility of John Mayer and we really thank you for that!" quipped Chels. When the cameras cut to Jen, she covered her face and started laughing. Guests included Heather Locklear, Selena Gomez, Jenny McCarthy, Christina Hendricks and Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke.
IS THIS TOO MEAN?
There's this American artist called 14 and she's currently exhibiting her work at Hollywood's World of Wonder gallery. Seems she's not afraid to piss of a few major celebrities, and has even received legal threats from camp Hilton (which features Paris and former BFF's Nicole and Brandon). She says that while she feels uncomfortable teasing someone about how they look - her artistic 'mission' is to observe and record social commentary springing from celebrity gossip. I think I've told you before that SJP is known in US gossip circles as "My Little Pony" or "Horsey"…..I've not stooped that low. So she's painted SJP literally as a horse. I think that's going too far. You?
I GUESS / YOU GUESS
They've been friends a long time. Recently worked together. Both family men now supposedly settled down. But not quite it seems. Several times a week, very late at night, they'd call up for room service together. Not for food, mind you, but for a certain kind of massage. Like…together. They'd get off on it together. Literally. Apparently they've been doing this for years. It's how they bond. Some guys like beer. These two like the hand and mouth special. Lately it hasn't happened often enough - schedules, kids, etc. Needless to say, when the opportunity presented itself, they made up for lost time. One tiny little problem: one of the wives found out and is now threatening to tell the other. Almost like blackmail. She wants them to stop hanging out AND she wants the friend to find her husband a replacement gig to make up for the one he'll lose if she makes him pull out of their next collaboration. Hollywood wives can wheel and deal, see? But she's been placated before so he's waiting for the rage to go down, and then he'll buy her off again. A break from the bro massage until then. And it aint Ben and Matt.

OUR RYAN KWANTEN
Now that the OTHER vampires are back for their next season of True Blood, OUR Ryan Kwanten (aka Leah's Vinni) is out and about and talking about how we can look forward to his character Jason Stackhouse taking off his shirt a lot more this season! "The moment Jason gets a little heated, whether it be the sexual realm or the competitive realm," Kwanten says, "the clothes start to come off." All the more reason to watch I say! Ryan also says he was one of the last to learn about the off-screen romance of his co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. "Ten months into their relationship, Stephen actually came up to me and said, 'We're dating,'" he remembers. "I said, 'Oh, that's fantastic! I always thought you guys got on really well.'" Adds Ryan, "Stephen said the only reason he was telling me is because I was probably the last person to know."

Hello Ladies!
JUDGEMENT DAY FOR MADONNA
Contrary to reports that came out earlier in the week, which you'll note I didn't bother mentioning….Malawi's High Court has announced it will rule early Friday (today) on whether Madonna can legally adopt 4-year-old Chifundo "Mercy" James. The hearing comes two months after a very brave, lower court judge rejected Madonna's bid on a technicality, i.e. she did'nt meet the 18-month residency requirement for prospective parents. Madonna's Malawian lawyer, Alan Chinula, said the decision is expected any tick of the clock (later this arv). Meanwhile, Mercy's biological father, 15-year-old James Kambewa (who had been MIA in Mercy's life but came out of the woodwork when he heard about Madonna's custody bid), has been among the most vocal opponents, insisting he is totally able to take care of her on his own! Time will tell. …or I will later today!
UPDATE: The highest court in Malawi has approved Madonna's request to adopt 3 year old Chifundo "Mercy" James. The three-judge panel, headed by Malawi's Chief Justice, Lovemore Munlo (lurv the name), said that the lower courts initial ruling was out of sync with the times, and that the entertainer's philanthropic history toward the African nation should have been taken into account. Word. No doubt Madge is thrilled!
THE PARIS N DOUGGIE HE SAID, SHE SAID BEGINS…
Are we all ready for the bust-up fall out? Well, Team Paris naturally went on the offensive yesterday, confirming the breakup while Douggie was still busy saying that everything was "fine" between them. One big (substantial) theory from camp Douggie is that she went psycho on his ass when he was on a 'boy's night out' with his homies (fellow Hills boys), she made a 'surprise visit' and busted them playing with a few scantly clad blondes. Sources at the bar say Paris was "a raving lunatic" and threw a "handful of limes" at the girl talking to Douggie, shoving her against a wall! Once the fight was broken up, Paris then started scratching and beating poor Douggie. He then called Paris a "f--king crazy bitch" before everything calmed down. Naturally, team Parisite deny this account—even though it was provided by Darkroom witnesses—but they also claim that she dumped Douggie after realizing he was a "publicity hound," (excuse me while I fall about laughing). Most likely, the fight at the bar happened, Douggie realized he wouldn't get his picture taken, like, ever again if he didn't take Paris back and then she refused him. So what's the latest status? Well Douggie's been crying at her gate, begging to be let back in, and last night she dug up sister Nicky, hit up MyHouse and busted a move on soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo - he followed them back to Nicky's place and didn't leave til 5am. Bet Real Madrid are shitting blue sparks that they're $130m soccer star has hooked up with her! Don't be surprised if he gets injured. Don't be shocked if he fails, this is what happens when they associate with her. But, now Parisite's making headlines all over Europe. Exactly what it wanted. And this is what poor Douggie could not deliver, no matter how many times she stuck her tongue down his throat in public - he never stood a chance.
DAVID BECKHAM'S NEW ARMANI SHOTS
Armani Exchange unveiled a 6 storey billboard as part of it's latest campaign featuring David Beckham at London's Selfridges yesterday. You know he doesn't float my boat, even if he is nice to look at - I just can't get past his whiny Mickey Mouse voice, but I know many of you adore - so here's the highlights….
PETE AND ASHLEE SUPPORT NO ON H8 CAMPAIGN
Here is a behind-the-scenes shot of Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson as they lend their support to the NOH8 campaign in response to the Supreme Court ruling that upheld a ban on gay marriage in the US. According to E!, Pete and Ashlee wore the campaign's signature look: a white backdrop, "NOH8″ painted on their cheeks and duct tape covering their mouths (symbolizing pro-gay voices not being heard).
THE INSUFFERABLE MS. GOOP
Here's what she wrote in this weeks contribution to her blog "Goop"
This delightful little tit bit, is of Gwynnie taking an opportunity to name drop and is of course referring to her "good friends" Katie Lee and William Joel. Translation for us commoners, yes, she called BILLY Joel "William." Barf. You know she probably refers to her and Chris as, "Gwyneth and Christopher Anthony would be delighted if you would attend….." This bitch has been in way too many period pieces. It messed up her head.
HEADS UP C - USHER'S AVAILABLE
Usher has come to his senses and filed divorce papers in Atlanta yesterday, ending the 2 year marriage to opportunist Tameeeeeeeeeeka Foster. A sauce close to the action has said that it's been over for a while now and Usher has been living in a separate house for over a year, and that when Tameeka almost died getting fat sucked out of her in Brazil, he didn't even know she was there having a procedure! Usher and Tameeeeeeeeka have two sons together, 18 month old Usher V and 6-month-old Naviyd. The insider went on to add…"Usher's primary concern is for his children. He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them."

Hello Ladies!
LEO'S SINGLE AGAIN
Seems to me young Leonardo DiCaprio is a bit of a modeliser….he's given his current model, Bar Rafaeli the flick. Probably she was making outlandish demands like wanting to settle down, considering they've been together since 2005, and still weren't even living together! My theory, Kate is the love of his life and he hasn't found anyone like her.
BEYONCE AND GEORGE MICHAEL
Beyonce was performing in London Wednesday night at the 02 Arena, and just as she was bringing her concert to a close, out pops George Michael and they performed a duet of "If I Were a Boy" - which is kind of weird…but it worked. If you're interested, it's YOU TUBE: Beyonce and George Michael - If I Were a Boy - Live at the 02 Arena.
DUH, LIKE WE ALREADY KNEW THIS ONE!
So, hate to gloat (not really) but if you read Pandora often, this is so yesterday's news! And up until a few weeks ago, there didn't seem to be any support from her family for this relationship, but….she's just released new tour dates which include Australia….so team Britney is promoting, and there's a very lot of money to be made so now they're officially announcing she's in a relationship and they're supportive of it! Coincidence or conspiracy? We know her dad is running the show and that he would definitely have had to approve of this relationship. Jason is also one of Brit's brother's best friends, so this is pretty much a perfect match for her family all round really. A source has said, "They are totally and definitely dating," the source says. "Her dad loves him. He's the best thing that happened to her." But seriously, this is good news. It's nice to hear that she finally found a man that isn't only using her for her money. Oh, wait. What's his cut as her agent? And we've all seen the video clips, where she's been halfheartedly rubbing herself on stage for months, trying to get it over with, and that she's totally medicated up to her eyeballs, and has said she would rather stay at home with her boos in Kentwood and retire forever. But they keep squeezing. Every last drop.
PARIS IS SINGLE AGAIN
She's given Douggie the flick and she's back on the prowl folks. So if you've got a penis, hide it in a bomb shelter or stick it in holy water! "In response to the inquiry on whether Paris Hilton has split up with Doug Reinhardt, yes, this is true they are no longer together. They remain friends and ask that you please respect their privacy." My theory, she heard Leo is single and she thought she'd try for the 10,000,000th time to hook up with him! And in other splitsville news - Kanye has given Amber Rose the flick….hmmmm Parisite and Kanye……imagine the media attention! Can't believe they haven't thought of it already! They're a famewhore match made in heaven, but that's right we know why that'd never happen!
ONE HOME DOWN, ONE TO GO….
Embattled Slumdog Millionaire child star Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and his family have finally been given the keys to their new one bedroom apartment today after months of promises from every man and his dog involved in the film or the Jai Ho Trust that was set up to protect the children. It also comes after both Azharuddin and Rubina's houses were destroyed by the Indian government. Rubina and her family have not been moved into a new apartment yet, one of Jai Ho trustees assured the media that finding her family an apartment was at the top of their list. Ownership of the apartment, which cost about 2.5 million rupees ($50,000) will be transferred from the trust to Azharuddin when he turns 18, provided he completes school, a rep said. "He has to complete an education. We are very clear about that," she said. She declined to say what would happen to the property if he does not finish school. The apartment is located in Santa Cruz West, a suburb of Mumbai just north of the slum where the two children now live. Here's hoping the second delivery isn't too far away!

Hello Ladies!
THAT TWIT GORDON RAMSAY
Looks like that twit (my husband wont let me use the other variation with an 'a' instead of an 'I') Gordon might have just jumped way over the line this time, and it seems channel 9's Tracy Grimshaw is quite rightfully tearing him a new one! Turns out, over the weekend at a food show in Melbourne, Gordy ripped into Tracy for no apparent reason telling the crowd, "We were secret lovers for 20 years. No, I didn't go there and I didn't go down. I didn't stoop that low for God's sake." Gordon sprinkled more love all over Tracy by calling her an "old ugly lesbian pig." When the audience gasped, Gordon said, "What? I'm not saying she's a dyke." Gordon didn't stop there and hit the gas pedal by showing a picture of a nekkid woman with a pig face on her knees. Gordon described the picture for the audience, "That's Tracy Grimshaw ... holy crap. I had an interview with her yesterday. She needs to see Simon Cowell's Botox doctor. " Most of the audience told the Herald Sun that they found Gordon's rant "disgusting" and "totally sexist." Gordon's spokeswhore said he was only having a laugh and he has a great 'relationship' with Tracy. Tracy doesn't think so. On ACA last night she said, "Gordon Ramsay made me promise not to ask on Friday about his private life. He then got on stage on Saturday and made some very clear and uninformed insinuations about mine. Obvious Gordon thinks that any woman who doesn't find him attractive must be gay. For the record, I don't. And I am not. Gordon Ramsay has always had fair and generous treatment on this program but despite what his publicist said in damage control, we do not have a great 'relationship'. We do not have a relationship at all. I was absolutely miserable when I found out late Saturday afternoon. He says it's a joke. Well, not to me or anyone who cares about me. Truly, I wonder how many people would laugh if they were effectively described as an old, ugly pig. But we all know that bullies thrive when no-one takes them on, and I'm not going to sit meekly and let some arrogant narcissist bully me." My guess is that Gordon busted a move on Tracy after their interview and she laughed in his face. So being the fine upstanding gentleman that he is, and clearly thinking that if a woman knocks him back, she's a lesbian, he got his revenge! But what I want to know is if Gordy has ever looked in a mirror? I mean, telling someone they need botox when he looks like a Shar-Pei's ass just out of the dryer! Even all the grout and spackle in the land couldn't fill up that face!
SAM WORTHINGTON SNEAK PEEK
OUR Sam's new movie Clash of the Titans is well under way, and here's a little peek up his skirt so to speak! Of the movie's costuming, Sam has said, "We're trying to make it as manly as possible."
LINDSAY LOHAN FEELS CAGED
As you know Linds has been over in London stalking Samantha Ronson and snorting up the country's supply of the bad shit and after days of begging, has succeeded in getting back in, as the two were seen leaving London together yesterday, and she's now gloating about being back with Sam, much to the despair of Sam's family! Bitch clings harder than Jessica Biel. So, a UK Mirror reporter saw her in action at a London club, aptly named "Cuckoo", the other night totally out of it and having a wee bit of a meltdown on the floor, while mumbling over and over again, "I feel so, like, caged. Totally caged." She was also apparently seen slamming back vodka all night. Meanwhile, MOTY Dina Lohan still has her head in the clouds, and is flitting about shopping and still stalking Georgie Clooney and Michael Lohan is getting charged with assault!
ORLY BLOOM MIGHT STILL BE HOT
Ok, here's the thing, a few months ago I put up sneak peeks of Orly's latest movie he was filming, he had a wig on so there was long lustrous hair, and black leather pants (which you know is my weakness) and a couple of tattoos, which pretty much covered up his pre-pubescent look and actually made him look marginally manly. Well, he's kept the bod, and these are pictures of him here in Australia this past weekend….so, here's the new poll, is Orly Bloom hot or not?
SUSAN'S OUT
Refreshed and focused after her little 'holiday' in a clinic where she was treated for an acute anxiety attack, Susan Boyle decided to cheer herself up the way we'd all like to by indulging in a little retail therapy! Susan hit up the Lulu & Fred boutique just north of London in the village of Radlett, where she smiled for fans and looked cheerier than she had since starting her ride to world-wide superstardom. Susan's brother Gerry Boyle has come out of the woodwork and said that she's recovered from her exhaustion and "She's a lot more like herself. Things are becoming clearer for her now. She's now beginning to believe that, 'yes indeed, I will be a singer'." He said. Word is she's about to sign a lucrative recording contract following her success on BGT.
THE BEIL CONTINUES HER ASSAULT
Remember I wrote about Cammie D's appearance during the first week of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon? About their really cool dance-off at the end of her interview? Well, The Beil was on Thursday night in her quest to promote her new movie Easy Virtue. What did she do? She did an exercise routine with him - like she was his trainer! It was crappy because The Beil has the personality of a puffadder! Oh, and she's on the cover of Gotham magazine this week, and she's come out with another pearler, "I've made a mark, all right. But balancing the idea of being very sexy and then also being really attainable, kind of a girl-next door quality, is really important." Puhlease!
GWEN STEFANI IN ELLE
As you know, Gorgeous Gwen Stefani graces the July 2009 Music Issue cover of Elle magazine. Here's a couple of the interview highlights…..On the reunion of No Doubt: "Everybody's making it like there's all this tension, you know, like I stepped away from the band and now they're jealous of me, and look, maybe there is a little bit of that. But some fights aren't really what they seem I think it was a little about the song (a cover of Adam and the Ants' "Stand and Deliver"), and a little about our coming back together. There was this little air bubble that needed to pop, you know?" And this, "I wasn't even married. Now I'm a wife and a mother of two. It's a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage, because that's what it's like to be together for so long and go through what we've been through. I can't really have that relationship with them anymore. My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That's a huge, huge thing." And on being a mother and a celebrity: "It's one thing when you have an infant but when you have this two-or three-year-old going, 'Mommy, what's the deal?!' it's harder. Kingston's whole thing is, 'I need, I need.' He is insane right now. We're just hoping for the best and that he's not going to turn out to be a freak, but we'll see." And this, "Obviously, I'm not anything more than I am. I'm just, like, totally normal. The fact that any of this has happened, that we're sitting here at the Beverly Hills Hotel just gets me going, like, What?"
CELEBRITIES SANS MAKEUP ARTISTS, STYLISTS, THE RIGHT LIGHTING….
Drew Barrymore out and about with Justin over the weekend. What in the name of all things holy is that girl wearing??!! P.S. Hope she's not just using Justin until something better comes along…he's soooooooooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Hello Ladies!
THE BEIL ON LETTERMAN
The Beil is currently pimping a new movie, so she'll be appearing at the opening of an envelope! So naturally, Wednesday night she was on Letterman. But did she talk about her movie? Noooooo, since Dave Letterman asked, she obliged and giggled and gushed about her major score man! How long they'd been together, and how they were introduced by a mutual friend, and subsequently started their relationship via PG rated phone chats…..funny, cause I see to remember a story that was slightly different, something about her practically stalking him, following him from party to party, until a "chance meeting" where she practically threw herself at him, and oh, he still had a girlfriend at the time…..Cammie D! Kinda fits in with an incident at the time at a Globes afterparty, where they had a massive, very public domestic and shortly after they split! But The Beil says she can't actually remember their first date….Puhlease, she's got it etched somewhere for sure, why it's the date she actually started to matter!
MATT DAMON
I love Matt Damon. I know I've said that before, and it's not in a throw down hot interlude kind of way, but he's sweet, he's cute, he's like a brother, and I love that he has a normal life with his family away from the camera and he doesn't pimp out his kids….anyhoo, Matt's an ONEXONE Foundation Ambassador, and he's currently in Ethiopia bringing awareness to Africa's water crisis. In the picture he's showing the difference between regular water, and the water the local children of Mekele drink every day. You can view more pictures and video from Matt's trip at OneXOne.com.
ANOTHER PENNY FOR MY BORA BORA FUND
Cancel your plane tickets girls, Bradley Spitt is not back on the market. Of course not. Even if they couldn't stand the sight of each other, The Brange is a brand, Forbes has just named St. Angie Jo number 1 on their Celebrity 100 list, dethroning the Mighty O, and beating Jennifer Aniston (the list is based on media exposure and earnings) - they're not splitting for anything, trust. Too much at stake.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
You've voted, and so far it's 50/50 on whether Russell Brand is in fact a hottie, I'm still swaying towards hot, as long as I don't see him looking pasty in shorts again - if he stays in the black leather, with the chains & unbuttoned shirt, and continues to charm us with his humour and whit he's hot as far as I'm concerned. Anyhoo, he's now 34. Leo's girl Bar Refaeli (and Israeli conscription avoider) is now 24, Angie Jo is now 34 and Ex ER'r & The Librarian, Noah Wyle is 38.
Enjoy your WEEKEND!

Hello Ladies!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LOVE THE JONAI
On the Jonai's official YouTube channel, the band have released a "long-awaited and long-requested" clip of oldest brother, Joe Jonas in a skin-tight bodysuit 'dancing' to "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)." This is apparently in celebration of the two-week countdown to the release of their latest album. His perfection of the choreography is clearly not up to Justin Timberlake's precise standards….and I guess at least this proves he isn't gay! YOU TUBE: Joe Jonas Dances to Single Ladies
NEW MOVIE NEWS
Much to the disappointment of 100's of actresses across the globe, word is that OUR own gorgeous Emilie de Ravin (LOST) has been chosen to co-star with the sparkly one, RobPatz, in his new movie Remember Me. Emilie will play RobPatz's love interest in Remember Me, which is about a couple struggling to stay together despite individual family tragedies. Reps for Emilie have declined to comment at the time, and pre-production begins in the next week or so with an expected February 2010 release.
SIMON BAKER
OUR Simon Baker has just signed to co-star alongside the Alba demon, Tool enabler Casey Affleck (filming J being an artiste) and Maneater Kate Hudson in the new movie, The Killer Inside Me. Casey plays a West Texas sheriff who moves on from small town law enforcing to a potential homey for Dexter, as you do. The Alba demon is playing a hooker, while Kate will play the schoolteacher girlfriend of Casey's sheriff. The movie is currently shooting in New Mexico and Oklahoma. No word on what character Simon will be playing.
THE BRANGE BREAKUP #6,900,887,000
I just have to point out that if I had a dollar for every time I've read that these two have split - I'd be posting this from a deck chair in front of my private cabana in Bora Bora! BUT, it is from The National Enquirer, and they have at times gotten it right, however, I'm thinking if it was real, they'd have made the story the full cover! The Enquirer is saying that after months of supposed behind the scenes battling, it's totally and completely over between St. Angie Jo and Bradley Spitt. Some source said that Bradley is spending his time in California and then the Amazon shooting new movies, while Angie Jo finishes that movie about a condiment in New York. Word is that when the film wraps, she's going to take the kids and bust a move back to their modest little French Chateau. The source even went so far as to call it an "OFFICIAL" split. They went on to yap, "Brad and Angelina will make appearances together from time to time, and he'll meet up with the kids when he can. But make no mistake, this is a major split." Bet Jen's having a party tonight!
WHO ROCKED THIS DRESS?
Rihanna wore this Alexander Wang strapless corset dress while visiting Kanye West in NY. Then….Parisite wore it for a taping on Letterman. While both showed off their long legs and wore almost identical shoes, I'm going to say Rihanna rocked the dress, and despite her desperate contorting for the camera, Paris lost!
CAMMIE D IN MARIE CLAIRE
Unlike Miley, Paris, Lindsay or Britney who have had handlers deciding their every move from a very young age, and more money than sense, Cammie D has done the hard yards, enduring lean, obscure years, grabbing modeling assignments where she could, and of this time she says, "I had the good fortune of becoming famous once I had already lived a life, traveled a lot, stood in line, had to ask people to help me, had to find a way to make something work, pay the rent, scrape by," she says. "I used to do $4 a day with a girlfriend. We would get two tacos and split a Coke." Probably the reason why she stays so down to earth and remains so unaffected by her fame and fortune, and the very reason why she's still the all American 'girl next door'. Next month, Cameron Diaz graces the cover of the American Marie Claire. In the accompanying story, rather than talking about her new movie My Sister's Keeper, Cammie D is highlighting her concern about the failing health of our planet "I wish I could be blissfully ignorant," she sighs. "I wish I didn't know anything.") She has taken it upon herself to make a low-budget, seat-of-the-pants documentary about our relationship to the planet, schlepping across the US to some not-so-hot spots, not unlike where she herself grew up, to talk with real, local people about their environmental woes. She's asks randoms such questions as; Do you know where your food, your water comes from? Do you worry about the environment? What would it take for you to become more involved? But the biggie is an Erin Brokovich moment, where a woman she meets who lives in a little house in full view of a refinery, tells Cammie about the morning a sulfur-holding tank at the plant exploded, the still-mysterious condition that led to her young son's open-heart surgery, the increase in depression and suicides in the neighborhood, the six-figure payoff one family received when their son was diagnosed with leukemia . . . And at the end of the conversation, Cammie says to her, "I want to leave you with this thought, after all you've told me . . . what would it take for you to do something to change your environment?" The woman is left speechless. The only thing that seems to have ever broken Cammie's stride was, quite understandably, the unexpected death of her father at 58, from pneumonia, just over a year ago. This it seems brought the vibrant Cammie to her knees. "It's the most profound thing—singularly the most profound thing that has ever happened in my life," she says. "It's like you're standing there with somebody next to you, and all of a sudden there's this huge hole where they were. It's just a massive hole—you can't even see the bottom." Cammie says that rather than causing her to break down (as was reported) it helped her to find focus, "When you lose a parent, it either derails you or it sobers you up. It either blows you off course or sets you on course. For me, I became very introspective. You go inside and you look at things very intensely." Hence, her new found quest to save our environment! Word.
NEW NEW MOON NEWS
You have got to watch this video clip. This is the very reason why RobPatz flipped out at the end of Twilight as he struggled to come to terms with the fanatical fans, and the very reason why they all have police protection and big burly body guards! Homegirl is having a serious spiritual experience. I'm betting she's single and lives at home with her parents! No boy would put up with that level of passion! YOU TUBE: NEW MOON TRAILER REACTION. Totally love the quote - "give me a paper cut"! I'm just thankful I don't receive an inbox full of hate mail every time I voice my opinion here, like my fellow US bloggers! Clearly we're more level-headed!

Hello Ladies!
MTV AWARDS, WHO WON WHAT & WHO PARTIED WHERE?
Host Andy Samberg presided over the action packed evening. Here's the highlights of the evening:
Naturally, Twilight dominated the show with a whopping five out of six Golden Popcorns. Kristen Stewart was also a scene stealer while accepting the prize for Best Actress, she dropped the trophy, saying, "So I was just about as awkward as you thought I would be." When accepting the award for "Best Kiss" RobPatz and Kristen Steward had the audience in a frenzy, building the anticipation as they re-created a scene from Twilight and leaned slowly closer for the kiss, only for Kristen to pull back at the last moment, brushing him off and thanked the fans.
Here's the complete list of winners at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards:
· Best Movie: Twilight
· Best Male Performance: Zac Efron, High School Musical 3: Senior Year
· Best Female Performance: Kristen Stewart, Twilight
· Breakthrough Performance, Male: Robert Pattinson, Twilight
· Breakthrough Performance, Female: Ashley Tisdale, High School Musical 3: Senior Year
· Best Comedic Performance: Jim Carrey, Yes Man
· Best Villain: OUR Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight
· Best Fight: Robert Pattinson vs. Cam Gigandet, Twilight
· Best Kiss: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, Twilight
· Best WTF Moment: "Peeing in the Sink," Amy Poehler in Baby Mama
· Best Song From a Movie: "The Climb," Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana: The Movie
Cammie D headed over to an afterparty at Teddy's, along with Andy Samberg, Hayden Panettiere, Zaccy Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Star Trek hottie Zachary Quinto. Rob and Kristen didn't go, instead they opted for a dinner, together, alone, without co-stars at Cecconi's….slipping out the back door around 11pm and back to their hotel. YOU TUBE: New Moon Trailer Official
BRUNO UPSTAGING ZACCY EFRON & PISSING OFF EMINEM
Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego Bruno was supposed to present an award to Zaccy Efron, but by the end of his little sequence, and his announcement of who won, Zaccy wasn't sure if he was supposed to get up on the stage and accept or what! Clearly his little CK's were in a twist, Bruno has stolen his thunder - for his only win that evening, and he's so got a sucky little pout happening while trying to force a smile of gratitude for the cameras. And his hair is so last year - cut it boy! Imagine how bitchy he was by the end of the night after having to sit and watch his nemesis Robert Pattinson win, and win again. LOL.
BRUNO AND EMINEM
Eminem's appearance at the MTV Movie Awards this year will be a hard one to top. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with his music (or lip-synching). Not sure if you've seen the video of what happened, it's mysteriously disappeared from the majority of blog sites since last night! Here's what went down: Sacha Baron Cohen in character as Bruno was flying through the air on wires when he suddenly stopped and then "fell", landing with his bare butt in an outraged Eminem's face basically. Bruno was rocking big white, fluffy angel wings and a skimpy silver thong. The way the wire stopped short directly above Eminem and the way "Bruno" stayed in character makes me think that Sacha knew what he was doing (and it had been rehearsed) but Eminem clearly didn't have a clue which makes what happened outrageous. Eminem spewed obscenities before realizing it was being picked up on Bruno's microphone and then just kept saying over and over "You can't be serious", as his band members freaked out and started beating the crap out of Sacha, who was still dangling from the wire in character. After that, Eminem spat the dummy and he and his band members stormed out of the show. I don't care if it was staged or not, it was still Eminem's greatest moment ever. He should just retire now, because nothing will top it. Hilarious!!!
NOW YOU CAN LITERALLY LICK THE ICE OFF OF DANIEL CRAIG
If you're that way inclined....The lucky ladies in the U.K. will have the opportunity to lick Daniel Craig's well-chiseled abs freely. Del Monte's Superfruit Smoothies is releasing limited-edition iceblocks of the Bond star's ahem upper half. The purple frozen treats are blueberry, pomegranate and cranberry flavored, and will only be available this week during Britain's National Ice Cream Week. The fruit company conducted a poll asking women who they'd like to see melting from a wooden stick, and 41-year-old Daniel Craig was their choice.
ALONE ON AN ISLAND WITH JOHNNY DEPP
If you've ever fantasized about what it would be like if Johnny Depp swept you away to his private island…..well, this will help fine tune the details. Johnny's gracing the cover of this month's issue of Vanity Fair and he took VF's contributing editor Douglas Brinkley, along with three of his friends, to his private Caribean island for a visit. The island is 45 acres of tropical paradise, and it's called Little Hall's Pond Cay. They travelled over to the island on Johnny's yacht. It's a 156-foot, steam-powered boat called Vajoliroja (an amalgam of the names of his "girl" Vanessa, himself, and their children, Lily Rose and Jack. There are pirate-themed touches throughout, and the ship flies the Jolly Roger alongside its official Marshall Islands flag. On the island, there are six beaches and Johnny's named them Gonzo (after his idol Hunter S. Thompson), Paradis (after Vanessa), Lily Rose, Jack, and Brando (after his other idol Marlon Brando) and a stretch of water in a little cove is also called "Heath's Place" after our Heath. There are several small residences, all solar-powered, and transportation consists of a fleet of green golf carts. Of his island, Johnny said, "I don't think I'd ever seen any place so pure and beautiful. You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It's instant freedom. And that rare beast-simplicity-can be had. And a little morsel of anonymity…. Whenever I was getting frustrated about being 'novelty boy' and making movies, I told myself, Calm down. I can come down here and disappear. I spent the Christmas season here with Vanessa and the kids. You can feed hot dogs to the nurse sharks in the Exumas-but it's best to not swim when doing it." While on the island, Johnny likes to indulge his hobbies which include reading, playing guitar, and painting. "What I love to do is paint people's faces, y'know, their eyes," he says. "Because you want to find that emotion, see what's going on behind their eyes." And of the future of his island, Johnny says, "Nobody is going to ever ruin the Land and Sea Park. It's like a rare gem, a diamond. I look forward to my kids growing up on the island, spending months out of the year here … learning about sea life and how to protect sea life … and their kids growing up here, and so on…. Theoretically, this place can add years to your life." Then he amends that old adage: "Money doesn't buy you happiness. But it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it." Love. Johnny Depp. And that's my new favourite quote. Hope that helps girls!

Hello Ladies!
MTV Movie Awards is being held as we speak! Pictures tomorrow. But while it's supposed to be a fun awards show, word is seating is an absolute nightmare due to the problem of having to accommodate so many bloated Hollywood egos. For example, relatively unknown wannabe, Whitney Port had to be on the other side of the room from Kristen Stewart in order to avoid having her eyes clawed out, given that Whitney pouted that Twilight was "really bad" and Kristen's acting was "one-dimensional"….then there's the entire cast of The Hills not wanting to be seated anywhere in the vicinity of co-star and another wannabe Audrina Partridge because, in the overheard words of one producer, "everyone on the show hated her." And then of course there's Parisite, she also had to be far away from The Hills cast because she called the show "so lame and fake" and wait for it…."cheesy". LOL! Could the Pot be any more black?? Would love to be a fly on the wall in the girls bathrooms! Anyhoo, the show promised to be exciting on stage as well, with performances by Eminem and Kings of Leon, and presenters include; Chris Pine (Star Trek), Sacha Baron Cohen as Bruno, Denzel Washington, Cammie D, Will Ferrell, Sandy Bullock and Abigail Breslin to name a few. But wait, there's more, audiences also get to see the world premiere previews of three of the most anticipated movies of the year, Twilight's sequel, New Moon, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen! Woo hoo! Then of course there's the award for best on-screen kiss. Remember when it was Notebook? Have a look at their win…YOU TUBE: The Notebook MTV Best Kiss Award
PIERCE BROSNAN THE HERO?
There was a story late last week, coming from The UK Sun, and referencing another story originating in our own SMH about Irish hottie Pierce Brosnan dramatically saving Uma Thurman's life on the set of their new movie, Percy Jackson when a speeding van was hurtling precariously towards her and he heroically jumped behind the wheel and saved the day, or something to that effect anyway…. But here's the strange thing, those on the set of Percy Jackson which is currently filming in Canada are a tad baffled by these reports, especially considering, aside from makeup and costume fittings, and a couple of screen tests, Uma actually hasn't shot a single scene yet for the movie and in fact hasn't even been in Canada for several weeks! See! If they read Pandora - they'd know J
JENNIFER HUDSON'S BABY BUMP
After months of watching an increasing baby bump (did you see her on Ellen last week?) and many denials, a Chicago newspaper claims to have spoken with a guest at Jennifer Hudson's baby shower over the weekend--confirming the star is pregnant with her first child. "It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family," Jennifer's singer/actress pal (not for much longer…) Felicia Fields allegedly told the Chicago Tribune. "They're really trying to keep it kind of quiet." Well it aint now! The shower took place in Downtown Chicago, where guests brought gifts mostly in yellow as Jennifer and fiancé David Otunga "don't know the sex." The pair have been engaged since September 2008. While a wedding date hasn't been revealed, Hudson has said she wants her dogs (Grammy, Oscar and Dreamgirl) in the ceremony. This is happy news after the tragedy of losing her mother brother and nephew earlier. Good for her!
AND IN MORE BABY NEWS
Gorgeous Djimon Honsou (Blood Diamond) is a daddy for the first time. His babymamma Kimora Lee Simmons (who twittered during labour, and then straight after the birth, as you do) had a baby boy on Saturday! Kimora tweeted, "It's time!! No turning back! At hospital in labor right now!!," followed shortly after by, "Having contractions now! Ooo- wee! It's like WHOA! Love & Light, KLS." Kimora also managed to post a glamorous picture of herself straight after the birth. Her personal photo-shop artist must have been pissed he had to work on the weekend! Naturally, Kimora runs a baby clothing line called Baby Phat and also her and her two daughters star in a reality show called Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane! Unfortunately, Kimora and Djimon didn't announce a name. I'm hoping for Kimomo Diamante Lee or Kimoramon Baby Phat Honsou.
KEANU'S NOT THE BABYDADDY
A fine upstanding member of the community called Karen Sala, 46, of Barrie, Ontario in Canada has come forth and declared that MY Keanu Reeves is the father of her four adult children. Karen is naturally asking the courts to force Keanu to submit a DNA sample so the truth can finally be revealed! Kazza claims she has known Keanu since she was 9 and he was 7 and says Keanu parked his car in her garage for for years even right up til just before she got married to another dude. Oh, but here's the tricky bit, Kazza has said she's not exactly sure which one of her kids is related to Keanu, because there might have been other cars….but she thinks one of her sons kind of looks like Keanu...... if you down a bottle of vodka and squint. Kazza has also said that when her kids were little, Keanu and his family would buy them gifts. But here's the best bit, although Kazza's kids are now aged between 20 and 25, and she's never actually had a relationship as such with Keanu, she is claiming child AND spousal support of $150,000 per month, retroactive to June 1988, as well as $3 million per month in spousal support retroactive to November 2006!!!!! Snort! Keanu's spokesperson laughed until she hyperventilated, and then released this statement: "Karen Sala's allegations are completely false and absurd. Mr. Reeves has no knowledge of who she is. Before you disparage my client and lend validity to this, there's clearly something wrong with someone who claims child support after all the kids have grown. I'm just pointing that out." Ummm, No! It's absurd because at that time, Keanu was dreaming about that little girl he saw all the time, watching her older cousin play ice hockey in Ontario, the one he knew he was destined to be with one day......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
The delicious Colin Farrell has just turned 33, Brooke Shields is 44, Corey Hart is now 47,
Clint Eastwood is 79....
That crazy bish LaToya Jackson is 53, Scary Spice turned 34, pompous arrogant twit Noel Gallagher is 42, Melissa Etheridge 48 and frozen botoxed boy Rupert Everett is 50 - ahhh, that explains the recent radical changes!

WARNING: DEXTER SEASON 4 SPOILER
Word is the amazing John Lithgow will be joining the cast of Dexter as a regular for season four! According to Showtime, John will play "Walter Simmons, an unassuming, mild-mannered suburbanite who has been living a dual life as one of America's most prolific and deadliest serial killers. Dubbed the Trinity Killer because of his proclivity to kill in threes, he relocates to Miami after being tracked by F.B.I. Special Agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine). Brought on to assist in the investigation of Miami's latest serial killer, Young Dexter Morgan becomes fascinated with Trinity's unique killing methods and his ability to evade capture for almost three decades." Hmmm, wonder if he'll become Dexter's mentor?
NEW NEW MOON NEWS
While it's widely rumoured that RobPatz and Kristen are gettin it on in real life, despite the constant presence of her boyfriend Michael…..and of course the rumours that the powers that be are making a point of keeping them apart publicly. So, here's a sneak peek of the Italy scenes (where Edward tries to reveal his sparkly personality so the Italians will kill him…because he thinks Bella jumped off a cliff, ala Romeo & Juliet…etc. etc.) for New Moon, and of course, our opportunity to play photo assumption! My take - they seem to have developed some mighty admirable acting skills since the last movie, no? Bloggers everywhere in the US are going nuts over RobPatz shirtless….umm, yes, he's done some workouts to shape up, but not doing it for me I'm afraid! You? Anyhoo, just in case you thought he'd suddenly broken out in spots - they're markers for the special effects team.
JESSICA SIMPSON'S NEW SHOW
Word is Jessica's going back to what works - reality TV. Us Weekly is reporting that she's been pitching a new concept show about society's scrutiny of women's bodies, called The Price of Beauty, which will involve her travelling around the world with a friend to investigate body image and beauty across different cultures. Oh, bets she draws on her experiences with all of those nasty body bullying headlines that have dogged her! Of course you can also bet a months chocolate rations that by the time filming commences she'll be back to a size 000000 and looking fabulous thanks to a team of hair, makeup and lighting experts! An insider has said that Jess will be hands-on with the show -- and will even try some of the "shocking things that women do to make themselves beautiful. The singer's rep told Us Weekly, "Jessica is indeed working on a new show, but network details have not been finalized at this time."
TURNS OUT JOSH BROLIN IS A TOOL!
Never really liked him, probably due in part to that little incident where Josh Brolin and Diane Lane (one of Hollywood's most beautiful women) went through a "rough patch" a few months into their their marriage and Josh was arrested for domestic battery, back in December, 2004. Naturally, both Josh and Diane claimed that the incident was blown out of proportion. And while Diane was the one who called the police her rep claimed that she "did not want to press charges and asked police not to arrest Josh." (Gee, that's not common!), her rep went on to say that the couple were "embarrassed the matter went this far." So now, InTouch magazine is saying they have caught Josh with his hand in the cookie jar, sighting an intimate photo taken of Josh and another woman in a restaurant (snuggled up, he facing her, tucked between her legs). On 21st of May, Josh and some local chickie named Melissa Green were partying at New Orlean's Royal Street Inn. Josh is currently filming Jonah Hex down there. A 'sauce' said that after they finished boozing, and schmoozing, Josh took Melissa to the movie's set at 11:35 pm. They stuck around there for several hours and left together at 7:23 am, where they were spotted doing the walk of shame. The witness added, "Josh looked like he hadn't slept at all. She was wearing the same outfit as the night before and looked embarrassed." And while ITW is not known to hit the nail on the head all that often (i.e. Brange breakups…), this time, they might actually be on the money. Josh's rep has of course vehemently denied the allegations but…Josh and that sniveling little upstart, Sean Penn had quite the reputation last year. And you know, Sean isn't exactly a bastion of fidelity. There were many nights when Josh was his wingman and the two would stumble out of some bar together forgetting that they had wives. So it appear Josh Brolin, like his buddy Sean Penn, is an arrogant unfaithful douche? But this is Hollywood, and you can bet money Diane probably knew. And probably won't leave him. Look at Robin Wright.
OUR CATE IS OUT SAVING THE WORLD
What's OUR Cate Blanchett been up to this past week, you ask? Well she's been urging global business leaders to limit carbon emissions to help save the planet at the "World Business Summit on Climate Change Conference" in Copenhagen, Denmark, naturally! It's all about agreeing on a new U.N. Climate Treaty of "immediate and substantial" emissions cuts by 2020, followed by cuts of at least 50 percent of 1990 levels by 2050 in order tocut greenhouse gas emissions in half by mid-century by setting specific limits on carbon. Unfortunately, Government officials reported little progress in setting such limits, or finding the dollars for the poorer countries to reduce their carbon emissions, so there is still quite a distance to cover before a new treaty is in place……Al Gore was also in attendance.
BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Gwynnie's 'frenemy' Winona Ryder (37) graces the cover of the July issue of Elle UK looking just as beautiful as ever, albeit less doe eyed and innocent, more street smart. A lot of life lessons learned I suspect. In the mag, she's interviewed by Pippa Lee director Rebecca Miller, and she discusses her "extra-large breakdown" at the age of 20, just after shooting Edward Scissorhands and Dracula, saying "I had my first real break-up, the first heartbreak". That would of course be, one Johnny Depp. Could you stay on the straight and narrow if you were engaged to and then lost Johnny Depp? And while she's also reportedly dated Tom Green (ewww) for some reason, she was also royally dumped by Matt Damon. Winona continued by saying, "…I think it was really ironic because, like, everybody else just thought I had everything in the world, you know, I had no reason to be depressed, everything was sort of at its peak, but inside I was completely lost. "I remember feeling, 'I can't complain about anything, because I'm so lucky, I'm so lucky.' After that I realized I needed to take time off more regularly." And, while she's pretty much stayed out of the spotlight for the past few years, she's back in, due in part to her role in Star Trek and also the release of another new movie, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee - opening in Europe soon and in the U.S. later in the year. Winona also said that she admires Kate Winslet for her ability to have it all. "During the Oscars, I was thinking about how she totally has that thing, she has her family and children and life and she seems really together and solid - and yet she can completely devastate you on the screen." And it seems Winona hasn't lost the edginess that made her so popular in the past, saying that she always thought it was "cooler to be interesting than to be pretty" and that, she "never wanted to be beautiful, I never wanted to be a cheerleader." Word.
LADY GAGAG
There are things you just shouldn't see while you're eating your morning fix of weet-bix. That shy retiring little butterfly, Lady GaGa is on the cover of Rolling Stone's Annual Hot List , once again with the bubbles….thankfully floating around her crotch. She who appears to be eccentric not because she actually is, but because it gets the attention! You know, she seems to go on a lot about her persona, rather than the music…? Here's a little snippet of her thoughts, "I don't feel like I look like the other perfect little pop singers. I think I'm changing what people think is sexy." She goes on to spill that she's bisexual, but her attraction to women is purely physical. It's an aspect of her sexuality that makes boyfriends "uncomfortable," she says. Of course! How scandalous! Way to make some new headlines!
LILY ALLEN
Someone needs to gag this snotty little upstart, she's beginning to annoy me (and Elton) more than Paris does. While the UK's unassuming hero Susan Boyle has charmed millions, and you knew she would go up to finals, even if she'd kicked a cat on her way onto the stage….it appears one Ms Lily Allen has decided to enlighten us on Twitter. On her performance earlier in the week, Lily yapped "Susan Boyle is so overrated. Lily went on, "Listen, I'm allowed to have an opinion. I thought her timing was off. No control, and I don't think she has an amazing voice. Yes, she can sing, but it's not about talent with her is it? She seems like a lovely lady but if it's about talent, that Shaheen kid should win." When someone called her out for the "talent" remark, Lily responded, "I have never in my life claimed to be talented. I do work hard at writing songs and putting on entertaining concerts though." So, given I can't stand Lily Allen, I decided to do a little survey. I asked my husband who virtually lives under a rock who Susan Boyle was, and he responded, "That lady on Britain's Got Talent with the crazy hair and big eye brows? " Exactly. Then I asked him if he knew who Lily Allen was, and he had NO IDEA. I'm sensing a bit of envy!

Hello Ladies!
SCAR JO AND RYAN REYNOLDS
The lovely Scarlett Johansson has been MIA for weeks. Turns out she's been busting her butt working out in preparation for Iron Man 2, which means that she now has an even better killer body. Biarch. But she's also been back in the studio, recording an album of duets with Pete Yorn called Break Up. The first single Relator is available today. Click here to listen. It's actually... not that bad, once you get over the initial country twang. As for married life? As we already know, ScarJo fiercely guards her privacy. Although it seems this approach is turning her husband Ryan Reynolds into an even bigger dickhead than he already was. You'll recall his pained expression on the Wolverine carpets - like he's better than the publicity, despite starring in a blockbuster and signing on to headline a spin-off version of his own. Now in addition to his sanctimonious snotty persona, Ryan has adopted a new attitude with his fans. Word is he spent part of last week in Canada, leaving on Saturday. At the airport he was approached by a fan who asked for a photo. The response he spat at the fan: Absolutely not. As I said before, Deadpool will die in the water. Ryan Reynolds is nothing like OUR Huge, who contains boundless energy, can travel the world, smile every day, is extremely accommodating, and always makes time for his fans and the papps. And, as I've said before Ryan Reynolds has the personality of a puff adder! You see, even those who've worked with Ryan in the past, they aren't exactly surprised by his ego or his overinflated sense of entitlement. Word is that on the Regina set of that horrendous piece of doggy doodoo, Just Friends, Ry was shooting in a local bar called McNally's. Amy Smart and Anna Faris were there, as sweet as ever, and so much LESS high maintenance than their male costar who required touch-ups way more than they did. Only he was a little bitch about accommodating the makeup artist. Wouldn't so much as turn slightly on his stool to provide the man with a better angle. Consequently, the makeup artist, who had very long 80s rocker hair, had to lie on top of the bar in order to powder Ry's precious nose. Ry expected this man to contort himself on top of a bar, surrounded by candles, in an awkward position, and refused to make it any easier. So then the man's hair caught on fire. And Ryan Reynolds, being the manly man he is, started squealing like a little girl. At the top of his lungs. Full scale man-panic. Flapping his hands, holding his balls, to the point where the makeup artist, WHO WAS ON FIRE, had to tend to Ryan first, calming him down, preventing him from passing out, before enlisting help to put out the blazing inferno on top of his head. And there you have it. Puff adder.
JADA DOES EBONY
She's a rocker, a mother, an actress, a producer and this month she graces the cover of American magazine Ebony. In the interview, the usually private Jada spills on her marriage to Will Smith, her views on Scientology and those persistant rumours about her's and Will's sexuality. Why you may ask? Well Jada has a new TV show (HawthoRNe) as it happens! Jada told Ebony, "You want people to talk about you, because once they stop talking about you that's when you're really in trouble!" She continues, "I'm happy to have people talk about all the craziness they want to talk about, whether it's things like every year we're getting divorced or we're an open family or Will's gay, or I'm gay."
MEMORIAL DAY
Yesterday was Memorial Day in the US (their Anzac Day) so everyone was catching up with friends, or hitting the beach. So, here's a newly shorn Halle Berry with her gorgeous baby Nahla arriving at a friend's home for a Memorial Day BBQ Beverly Hills. Two things, firstly what do you think of her hair cut? I'm not a big fan of super short hair on girls, but she does it well, and secondly, imagine being the friend, having all of those papps treading on your daisies taking a pic of her! In other Halle news, she's currently preparing for her role in the new move Nappily Ever After, which is based on a novel that tells the story of a young woman, Venus Johnson, who has grown weary of her four-year relationship with her boyfriend, and having to maintain her long, dark hair. Resolving to create a new, independent life for herself, she leaves her boyfriend and cuts her hair to an almost-bald stubby look. Her ex-boyfriend begins dating another woman lickidisplit, sparking feelings of doubt and jealousy in Venus. Hmmm. May not be one of her finest…
Then of course there's cute-as-a-button couple Jakey G and Reese Witherspoon. They went to a beach party. Everyone's waiting for them to announce an engagement following their romantical trip to Italy for Jakey's sister Maggie's romantic nuptials. I'm betting if that's going to happen, it's more than likely to be oh, just about the time that Jakey's new big budget movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, is due for release. Wouldn't you say?
And, last but not least, Gerry Butler, who I'm quickly becoming bored with, walked the sands of Malibu for Memorial Day.
EVANGELINE LILLY DOESN'T WANT TO BE FAMOUS
Evangeline graces the June issue of Women's Health magazine. Another TV girl who doesn't want to be famous, so please stop paying her to appear at your event, don't ask her to appear in your magazine, and please, please, do not invite her to any premiere's or awards ceremonies where God forbid, she'll have to dress up and walk the red carpet before kicking up her heels at afterparties where she'll have to deal with free gifts on her departure! Evangeline told the magazine that her Lost producers "have seen that I haven't picked up on the opportunity to become a big movie star. It frustrates them that they've given me this chance to become the next Angelia Jolie" but she hasn't gone after it. Lilly adds, "Sure, I'd love to be her, but just the humanitarian side." But having said that Evangeline has always said she's never been interested in super-stardom, so we'll give her points for consistency. And because she doesn't want to be notice, Evangeline was recently announced as one of the new "faces" of Loreal. And, I kinda liked her til now....liked that she was refreshingly normal.

COLIN FARRELL PREPARES FOR A WEDDING
Lucious Irish larrikin Colin Farell is set to walk down the aisle - as the best man at his gay brother's wedding. Colin's brother Eamon Farrell, a professional choreographer, will be marrying his long time partner Steven Mannion in front of family and friends later this year, and he's hinted that his brother Colin may play the key role at his upcoming nuptials, with their two sisters as birdesmaids. Meanwhile, Colin, who's been MIA for some time now, re-emerged last Thursday night in LA with a mystery blonde sending the papps into a spin, but she turned out to be his girlfriend of the mo, Brazillian model Alicja. Word is they've been househunting for a little love nest.
SLUMDOG MESS
After the destruction of Slumdog Millionaire's child stars Rubina Ali and Azhuruddin Mohammed Ismail's slum homes over the past two weeks, things just seem to be going from bad to worse for the pair and quite rightly, many are starting to ask serious questions to a number of people. First, the Indian local and federal governments' positions on slum destruction is being questioned and secondly, the people involved with running the Jai Ho Trust (which you'll recall was the trust set up by the SM producers) are being questioned about why it's taking so long to get these families an apartment, or at the very least a stable place to live. Then to make matters worse, 9 year old Rubina Ali was recently hospitalised for a viral infection, days after they tore down her family's shanty and then after she was released, she went to her uncle's home - that would be the same uncle who allededly tried to sell her last month!! Meanwhile, Azhar, 10, and his family have tied tarpaulins and blankets around a thin wood frame for shelter in the Garib Nagar - "city of the poor" - slum where both families live. "We are trying our best to finalize things as soon as possible," Jai Ho trustee Nirja Mattoo said on Saturday. She said representatives of the trust took Azhar's family to look at a few nearby apartments earlier this week. City authorities have also promised the children and some of their neighbors new homes. The state's top politician, Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, told the Mumbai Mirror that he would expedite the process now that national elections are over. "The elections delayed the process, but very soon we will allot them flats," he was quoted as saying. Uhuh. So, basically, it seems like everyone from the Jai Ho trustees to the Indian officials are too busy giving quotes to various media outlets to actually rent a couple of apartments for these kids. Somebody should step up, stop making lame excuses and just help these kids. It's way past time.

Hello Ladies!
PARIS AND DOUGGIE GET KICKED OFF ANOTHER YACHT
It must be Christmas somewhere. These stories just keep on coming! It's Karma for her ridiculous crimes against fashion with her insisting on wearing those stupid headbands on her head! Anyhoo, snaps for the captain of a yacht who threw Parisite Hilton and her BF Douggie off the boat for endangering passengers with their PDI's. So, here's what went down, Elton's other half David Furnish thought he'd enjoy some sport so invited Parisite and Douggie to a party on a friend's yacht in Cannes the other night. Almost immediately after they got on the boat, P&D were mauling each other. One 'sauce' who lived to tell the tale said, "As soon as Paris arrived she had her tongue down Doug's throat. Everyone kept saying how inappropriate they were being but Paris didn't care who was looking. They got so worked up she dragged Doug below deck so they could have some private time. But as they were closing the cubicle door so they could tear into each other, they were caught out. David spotted them and the captain was furious. He kicked them off for unsociable behaviour. Everyone congratulated the captain." Hope that brightens your Monday!
CLOONEY'S NEW CHICKIEBABE
Word is Georgie's found himself another cocktail waitress (you know..brunette, big boobs, not that bright…) who he met while filming in St Luis, and he brought her to Miami to celebrate his 48th Birthday. UsWeekly is saying that Georgie has been parking his car in one Lucy Wolvert's garage for a few weeks, but he wanted to keep the whole thing hush hush. So Lucy it seems couldn't keep her pie hole shut and is telling every man and his dog that she's doing The Clooney. A source said, "Her crush may have gotten the best of her. George asked Lucy to be discreet, but she's told friends and they've started talking." What's wrong with these girls???? This all has a whiff of Sarah Larson, though don't you think? They meet under shady circumstances, she drops everything to be with him, he ensconces her in ritzy hotels ala Pretty Woman. If she manages to keep her trap shut henceforth, soon he'll be taking her to red carpet events and paying for her boob job. And then the "relationship" will go to hell when she starts thinking that as George Clooney's girlfriend, she can act like a diva and start mistreating the staff…..
$20K FOR A KISS FROM THE SPARKLY ONE
The Foundation for Aids Research (amfAR) held an auction last Thursday night in Cannes to raise awareness and money for the foundation. Among the items auctioned off were Bill Clinton's sax (which went for $130,000), a private screening of Inglourious Basterds which included dinner at NY's Cipriani Wall Street - this went for $60,000, and a kiss on the cheek from Robert Pattinson. There was two separate kisses available, which went to two separate bidders for $20,000 each! Josh Hairnet also offered to strip for the right amount of money, but there wasn't enough interest, so that never happened! I guess once you hook up with that SLH Sienna Miller, it's all downhill from there! David Furnish, husband of Elton John, generously sold his own watch. Other items sold included a 1995 Bruce Weber picture of Sean Penn ($100,000). In all over $1 million was raised for the charity. Harvey Weinstein, a chairman of amfAR, said that even in this tough economy, the turnout was one of the best in 15 years. Of his first time at Cannes, RobPatz said, "I've been working every day this week so it's pretty exhausting, but it's just as glamorous as I expected."
NEW NEW MOON NEWS
A little sneak peak for you Twihards out there. A few photos from New Moon. Bella's disasterous birthday celebration at the Cullen's awesome house that I want AND her run-in with Laurent, who's clearly not as conflicted about being bad or good this time around. Also apparently the whole cast is reading New Moon, so that they get it right….

Hello Ladies!
PARIS - DESPERATE TO BE SEEN IN CANNES
This story coming out of Cannes is just hysterical and quite frankly made my week! As we know, Parisite Hilton took time out from her hectic charitable works (you know that commitment to doing good that she vowed to partake in when released from prison)...to contaminate Cannes this week, dragging Douggie around to every event she can worm her way into. So, here's what went down, on Monday night, Paul Allen (some guy who founded Microsoft or something trivial like that) had a party on his yacht. Super exclusive, tight guest list. Word is, Parisite had been busting her boiler trying to get herself invited for days. And they kept telling her to bugger off. But, wait, there's more, it totally gets better. To get onto the yacht, shuttle boats departed from a pier every 15 minutes or so. Parisite, being the arrogant twit that she is, decided to show up at the dock anyhoo. And she was rejected! Basically told to jump up her own ass. They would not allow her on that boat. Scoff! So, undeterred, she drags Douggie off to rent her own shuttle boat which she had to then take to another luxury liner, hop onto that luxury liner, and then beg them to pull up to the Paul Allen boat in disguise. And at that point, they could do nothing to stop her from coming on board. Oh but wait, there's more…Seems Parisite had been frequenting that luxury liner early on in her stay and asked not to come back. Because of that nasty little problem she has in the toilets. You know, her little habit of going to clubs, using the staff loo, and getting sick all over it, leaving it a biohazard, right? A trail of queef is Paris Hilton's calling card. Alcohol + bulimia = nasty puke. Apparently the captain spoke to her about leaving the staff facilities in such disarray. She not only denied the accusations, but true to form allegedly blamed the "dirty Mexican" for doing it instead. Never been a secret that she's is a racist f-ck. So as I pondered yesterday, how did manage to get herself on the Inglourious Basterds carpet? Oh, by forcing her way on. They don't want to start a scene and she knows this. But unfortunately she was kept far, far, far away from the primaries. And she did not get into that afterparty either. Puhlease. With Brad Pitt's people meticulously combing through the guest list? Not a snowball's chance in hell. But it would have been cool to see Angie Jo kick her ass. And you know she totally would.
A RARE SIGHTING
Matt Damon is one of the few who you never see, unless he's promoting - he was spotted in NYC Wednesday, taking a walk with his three favorite girls. Doesn't he look every bit the doting dad with baby Gia on his hip and holding Isabella's hand. Matt's been away from Luciana and the girls filming The Human Factor in South Africa for the past few months, so his beautiful family must be happy to have him back home.
OUR HUGE DOES DOGGY DUTIES
You see, OUR Huge is a fine, upstanding citizen of the world! Huge, Deborah-Lee and family were out and about walking a new puppy, when the inevitable happened. And being the down to earth guy that he is, Huge stepped up and sorted it. While I wouldn't normally stoop so low as to show a picture of this - or even write about it for that matter, it's Huge, so there's an exception, and don't you love the puppy's face - like he's saying "Sorry Daddy," because he knows he's the reason why Hugh is getting his picture taken while picking up doggy doodoo.
WEE EWAN MCGREGOR
That adorable Ewan McGregor graces next month's cover of Men's Health, and talks about kicking the habit of smoking. He also speaks briefly about his happy 14 year marriage, which is a rarity. He's married to Eve Mavrakis, a French production designer, and they have three daughters (ages 13, 8 and 7), Ewan says, "From the moment Eve and I met it was right, and I hesitate to explain the reasons behind that." When pressed to elaborate, he says, "If you spend too much time 'working' on your relationship, I don't think it's a relationship worth being in. With Eve, I've never had to work. We just have it. I'm in it, she's in it, and that's that … If you're attracted to someone, you're comfortable with them and have mutual respect, the rest will take care of itself." Word. Saw Angels & Demons on Tuesday. Even after reading the book, you completely forget he's the bad guy, you just lap up everything he says! If I were a non-believer, I'd believe if he said it was so!
Enjoy your weekend!

Hello Ladies!
INGLORIOUS BASTERDS PREMIERE
As Cannes finally gets into full swing (without me), the buzz is all Quentin Tarantino's World War II movie Inglorious Basterds which premiered at the Palais Des Festivals. Tarantino, Bradley sPitt and the other stars made the rounds in high spirits. Of course The Brange stole the show. Angie Jo in Versace & Bradley's in Tom Ford….still the bottom feeding magazines are claiming there's trouble in paradise. Star is reporting that Angie 'walked in' on Brad and Jen and In Touch is continuing to claim that Brad is constantly texting Jen. What are your thoughts? What are your photo assumptions? I'd love to know. Do you think she has that gritted teeth face….like she's saying to him "You owe me big time for this…"? Oh, almost forgot. Where's that supposed baby bump? Oh, and wouldn't you have given a month's worth of chocolate to see Angie Jo's face when Parisite Hilton walked the carpet at the same premiere as her! Snort! Hysterical. AND WHAT'S WITH THE GODDAM HEAD BANDS??????????!!!!! Rob Patz was also at the premiere, must have been refreshing for him to be out-shone for a change. The movie's official website has some new content. Check it out at InglouriousBasterds-Movie.com.
TV SHOWS - WHAT'S IN & WHAT'S OUT
TV giant CBS has just announced its new schedule for next year, and here are the highlights; GOING: The Unit, Without a Trace and Eleventh Hour (did we get that?) have been canned, and after NBC dumped Medium yesterday, CBS plucked it out of cancellation oblivion to recycle/reuse it in a new way, so it's safe for another year. STAYING: OUR Simon's first-year hit The Mentalist is going to the big-time, in a better time slot next year. NEW: A new NCIS spinoff, titled NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: Los Angeles which will focus on paramilitary investigators who hunt down especially dangerous criminals using the latest technology. It will star LL Cool J, Chris O'Donnell (he's so sweet, remember…he was Robin in the first couple of Batmans) and Louise Lombard. Then there's Accidentally on Purpose starring Jenna Elfman as an unwed young mother who decides to live platonically with the baby daddy (and the kid). There's also The Good Wife starring ex ER'er Julianna Margulies as a lawyer. She plays a woman who's had her heart broken, so washes that man right out of her hair by getting the defense attorney job she always wanted when she was younger. Costars Chris Noth as her ex (Mr Big). Another newbie, jumping on the blood sucking bandwagon, is The Vampire Diaries. The show is based on LJ Smith's book series. Stefan is described as "gloriously, amazingly, epically beautiful young man" who is actually a 200-year-old vampire who has a strong connection with Elena. His brother Damon, the evil of the two, has also taken a liking to Elena. Hmmm, sounds vaguely familiar.
ARE ORLY AND MIRANDA ENGAGED?
Photo's have emerged of Miranda Kerr wearing a big chunky sparkler on her engagement finger while in Cannes….her rep Carlii Lyon has said, "I am aware of the images, however I am not in a position to comment." Previously when engagement rumours surfaced, Miranda's people had a hissy fit. Then Orly's rep said "I don't comment on his personal life." HOWEVER, last November when asked about a rumoured engagement, Orly's rep denied, denied, denied. Hmmm. After word of the photos got out, Miranda took off the ring. It's also being reported that they are engaged in People Magazine, so I suspect there could be some truth to it. Hate this look on him BTW, can't believe I almost found him sexy a couple of months ago! He's back to looking for all intents and purposes like a neutered Ken doll. And again, don't you think Miranda looks just a little bit too much like a Cabbage Patch kid?? If they are engaged, congratulations to the happy couple. I'm sure they'll be very…zzzz….
AS I SUMMISED YESTERDAY….
Seems Ryan Phillippe is up to his old tricks, already….while Ryan has accompanied OUR Abbie Cornish to Cannes, he for some press commitments for his new movie The Bang Bang Club, and she for her commitments to her new movie, THE most well received, acclaimed film so far, Jane Campion's (The Piano) Bright Star. It's a true story based on the romance between the poet John Keats (played by Ben Whishaw) and Keats' neighbour Fanny Brawne (played by Cornish). So, it's a period romance tearjerker. Word is, if you loved The Piano, you'll love Bright Star. Word back is that it's outstanding. And the star of the film is none other than OUR Abbie Cornish. Could possible even gain Abbie a Best Actress nod next February. Anyhoo, today word is coming through that Ryan hit up VIP Nightclub in Cannes, without Abbie, and was spotted with a few blonde chickie babes hanging off his arms until the wee hours of the morning. And so it begins. As I said yesterday, Abbie Cornish will eclipse him, and this is how he copes. Give him the flick Ab. P.S. Is it just me, I've always thought he looked slightly cross-eyed?
PENELOPE IN CANNES
Some of you don't agree with choice yesterday. But I think Penelope is beautiful, and as you all know, I'm a sucker for that latin accent….Antonio, Enrique, Ricky!
MY HOW THEY GROW UP QUICKLY
Remember that cute little kid Tommy from Third Rock From The Sun? Well, his rool name is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, he's now 28 and he's currently doing a new movie called Hesher with Natalie Portman. The film's about a loser twentysomething (JGL) who injects himself into the life of an awkward 13-year-old named T.J. who is living with a pill-popping father and grandmother. Natalie Portman, who's also producing the movie, plays a supermarket worker for whom the kid develops a crush for after she saves him from a bully. Joseph also plays the bad guy in the new G.I. Joe movie, and next up for Joseph, a lead role in Christopher Nolan's Inception. Looks a wee bit like OUR Heath, No?
SIT DOWN GWYNETH PALTROW
My seething disdain for Gwynnie is well documented on this site, mostly because she's a snotty upstart with her head up her ass, who absolutely didn't deserve her Oscar because she's never worked a day in her life and was handed roles AND fame on a silver platter because of her 'Hollywood' breeding, having a famous actress mother and a connected producer/director father. You'd think she'd be thankful to get paid to sit in a makeup chair all day and make her small insignificant contribution to Iron Man 2. Em, not it appears. The Sun has reported that Gwynnie is hating on poor Scarlett, finding her very demanding of the attention of the crew. Translation, no one is paying attention to her when Scarlett is around! So Gwynnie has packed up her bongos and gone home, complaining that she's been left exhausted by the politics on set and a series of strenuous scenes and has had to take a two-week break from filming! Puhlease!

Hello Ladies!
The excitement of Cannes continues….without me L
THE BRANGE
Everyone has been awaiting the arrival of the Brange with breathless anticipation! Word is Angie Jo is gracing the festival with her presence for a quick carpet walk and then she's off…having only a few days off from her new movie Salt. Naturally, this will shut up the tabloids scraming about a breakup, for a week at least. Bradley's Inglorious Basterds premiere is Wednesday Cannes time, then he has two days of press ending Friday. Bradley's character is described as "a hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee." So, last night, Angie and Bradley sPitt tried to keep a low profile getting out of their car after a night out, but there was no way the photographers were going to let them sneak in unnoticed. The couple are still the reigning royalty at Cannes, and last year you'll remember, Angie Jo was glowing and pregnant with the twins.
JESSICA BIEL IS DILLUSIONAL
The Beil has clearly lost touch with reality. She's on next month's cover of Allure Magazine, and has been bleating that she's not getting the decent movie roles because, wait for it, she's too beautiful! Jessica says that she can't even get auditions, because casting directors can't get past her mind-boggling beauty. Jessica said, "Yeah, it really is a problem. I have to be blunt. I'm in there with everybody else, fighting for the good parts. Yes, The Illusionist has made a difference -- but a huge, massive difference, so I can pick and choose what I want? No. I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, don't hire me! But if you don't want to even see me -- that's hurtful. And why? You know nothing about me!" So, ummm, how does she explain Halle Berry? Julia Roberts? Charlize Theron? Penelope Cruz? Salma Hayek? ScarJo? Kate Winslet??? Why should they want to see her? What has she done that's credible? Why her over all the others. So many others. Others not lucky enough to have hooked up with pop's reigning prince? She's had many chances because of his influence and she's blown them! The truth Jessica, because clearly everyone's afraid to hit you with it, you don't get the audition calls because you have the acting skills of a baboon. I'm only bein real!
PENELOPE IN CANNES
Still spitting chips, would love to meet Pene, but thankfully, have nearly secured my position for NEXT YEAR! Used to love that naughty little question on Rove, "Who would you turn gay for?" - I'd turn gay for Penelope Cruz. Here she is at the photo call for her new movie Los abrazos rotos (Broken Embraces) on Monday (May 18) held at the Palais Des Festivals.
SHERLOCK HOLMES SNIPPETS
Embattled Guy Ritchie could well be back in the game judging by the feedback thus far for his new movie Sherlock Holmes. In one scene, a picture of which I've added for my bestie Lee, RDJ is handcuffed to a bed naked with nothing but a pillow to cover him. Sherlock Holmes Film link is http://actu-film.com
NEW NEW MOON NEWS
The official New Moon poster has surfaced online. The films three major stars, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner (GO TEAM JACOB) and Robert Pattinson try their best "Blue Steel" look. A preview of the highly-anticipated sequel will be shown at the MTV Movie Awards later this month, and the movie itself is due out in November.

Hello Ladies!
MEL'S GF IS WITH CHILD
Mel's GF Oksana is pregnant. Remember, that cheesy looking K-Mart version of Angie Jo that Mel Gibson dragged out to our Huge's Wolverine premiere a few weeks ago? Remember how smug they looked? But, let's get some perspective shall we? Ummm, technically Mel is still married, right? So that means that being the strict Catholic left winger that he is, he wouldn't possibly be divorcing his wife, who he cheated on for years…shacking up with another woman, parking his car in her garage out of wedlock, and ahem, getting her knocked up, now would he??? When his rep was asked was Oksana Grigorieva up the duff, he replied, "No comment" on the alleged love child. Which translates to a yes 99.9% of the time. And when asked if they'd marry, the rep replied, "Stay tuned." So there you have it. As I said before, liked him waaaay better back in the black leather pants days of Mad Max, before he became a douche. If I was Mel's ex Robyn….I'd be keeping it amicable so long as this mail order golddigger doesn't Heather Mills herself all over the Gibson Trust Fund.
ABBIE'S TIME
OUR Abbie Cornish's star has been steadily rising. She's in Cannes for the premier of her new movie, Bright Star, which aired last Friday. BF Ryan Phillippe appears very supportive….for now. Wonder how he'll cope when Abbie's star rises further than his…..hmmm deja vu anyone?
MARY-LOUISE PARKER
I love MLP, have done for years. She's gracing the June cover of More Magazine. But before I delight you with little tit-bits from her interview, I need to ask? What in the name of all things holy has she done to her face??? Please say she hasn't conformed and frozen it? Anyhoo, her interview mainly consisted of her talking about her show Weeds. In particular, MLP had a lot to say about a recent episode of Weeds where she's nakey in the bathtub. She's now claiming that the director "goaded" her into it and she felt that her character didn't need to be naked, and she fought with the director over it. The result? She did the scene in the nude, and her attitude is now "bitter". She feared her boobs would become the talk of the internet, or as Mary-Louise suggests a headline: "'Mary-Louise shows off her big nipples." She also talks about the direction she wants Weeds to go in - less sentimental, less crude, and more drama. She also talks straight about plastic surgery - says she hasn't had any. She says she's not giving in to the knife any time soon. Love how they say that….technically injections and fillers aren't plastic surgery? Right?? She says, "I'm 44 and I look okay for 44. I'm not trying to look 34." MLP also said that despite being bitter over the nude scene, she still very much enjoys playing her character on the show. "I like it the more extreme it is," she says. "But I don't like it when it's crass and crude for humor's sake, and I don't like when it's sentimental, when she's a sweet mother. To me, she's not that."

Hello Ladies!
1000 Apologies for my absence. Computers/Internet. That's all I'll say.
MY LENNY
What's my Lenny up to you ask? Well, he interrupted his hectic touring schedule over the weekend to hit Cannes for the premiere of new movie Precious. He has a small but no doubt hugely significant role in it. Director Lee Daniels introduced the film, alongside stars Paula Patton, Mooriah Carey (yes, I know, who knew she could be half way decent in a good movie..), MY Lenny Kravitz and Gabbie Sidibe, who plays the title role, a 16-year-old girl struggling with abuse. If you go to You Tube, it's: New Precious Film Trailer (HQ). The advance buzz for Precious has been outstanding. The movie features a stripped down (makeup and no cleavage) Mariah in what looks like a small but impressive performance. It looks good.
BROOK SHEILDS FABULOUS AT 43
Brooke Sheilds recently did a steamy photo shoot for Australian magazine, Kurv. And in other Brooke news she's quite rightfully spitting chips because a freelance journalist and photographer from the National Enquirier, posed as a family friend and checked her mother 75 year old Teri Shields out of her nursing home last week to try and get some dirt on Brooke. Brooke's mother suffers from dementia. Brooke told People magazine, "I intend to take every lawful action against all who were involved or who authorized this despicable act," said Brooke, who hasn't pressed any charges yet. Police were called to the nursing home by its staff to help look for the elder Shields, who had been allowed to leave but was gone for an "extended period of time." They found Teri unharmed chatting with a freelance journalist at a restaurant next door to the New Jersey assisted-living center. The journalist and a photographer were questioned by police. The incident is still under investigation. Nasty.
RACHEL WEISZ IN CANNES
Gorgeous Rachel Weisz was in Cannes over the weekend for the photocall for her new movie Agora. Agora is a historical drama set in Roman Egypt, and centres on a slave who turns to the rising tide of Christianity in the hopes of pursuing freedom while also falling in lurv with his master, the famous female philosophy professor and atheist Hypatia of Alexandria (RW). Agora is set to open in December 2009. Hmmm.
OUR SAM WORTHINGTON HAS DEFINITELY HIT TOWN
The premiere of Terminator Salvation was Sunday night: Eric Dane, Christian Bale with wife Sibi, and also rising star and one they say is to be watched, OUR OWN Sam Worthington (as Marcus Wright the amnesiac cyborg). They say this is his year. Because after going head to head with Christian Bale in Salvation, Sam will front the highly anticipated Avatar from James Cameron due for release later this year. Anyhoo, Sam Worthington (born 2nd August 1976) an Australian who hales from Rockingham WA, you may recall him from Bootmen, Dirty Deeds and Love My Way…where he was Claudia's main love interest. He also did Macbeth and I have to say, looked mighty fine ala Russell Brand style clothing and his hair died darker! Since landing in LA, he's been in Hart's War, The Great Raid, and was even seriously in the running to take the role of James Bond from Pierce Brosnan, but alas it went to K-Mart boy Daniel Craig…When asked about his arrival in Hollywood, Sam has said, "I'm the guy who grew up blue collar looking at the billboards," he says. "I didn't think I would ever be on one." And now? "A few years ago, I was a bricklayer. Now, I'm working with the top movie directors in the business and it feels f---ing good." He's currently shooting Clash of the Titans and sporting some bruises, which explained, "Got those on 'Titans,' " he says with a smile. "I've shot for two weeks and just took on Medusa and then took on the Witches. Then I called the rest. It's all guns blaring. And yes, I've got a skirt on. You can't make a toga look manly, but I said, 'Armor me up, give me a skirt and a sword and then let me loose." Also, in "Terminator," there are scenes where his form drastically changes. "We're talking four to six hours in a makeup chair. They painted me blue. I thought I looked like Cirque du Soleil Terminator. Honestly, I pity the poor makeup guys doing it. They had to work for six hours. I just had to sit there." "Avatar," opening in December, was actually shot first. "All I can say is James Cameron's pushing the boundaries of what going to a movie is all about with 'Avatar,'" Worthington says. "He will show you motion capture and performance capture and 3-D technology at its finest." And as for the future, he says, "I'll keep working until people realize I'm a scam. Honestly, it has been a privilege to work with good directors. I'll keep going where the work is for me. That's just what I did as a bricklayer." Word.
PASS THE KLEENEX TO ADRIAN BRODY
He might look a little like an Afghan Hound, and he may have overdone the lovey dovey sugar when gushing about his girlfriend, his love, and his new faux castle that he bought for them to live in in loved up bliss, but…..word is, he's a sad little Afghan Hound now because his GF of two years, who we now know is an opportunist, Ms. Elsa Pataky, has left him for that sultry sexy French love god...and none other than OUR Kylie's ex, Olivier Martinez! A 'sauce' has elaborated by saying that Elsa wasn't ready to settle down, so Adrian, being the caring soul that he is, released her back into the world hoping that one day she would fly back into his heart. But instead that low-rent trollop flew right into Olivier Martinez's roving hands, and she's been there ever since. The source said that Elsa and Olivier are even hunting for their own little love nest to share in Paris.
OUR CHRIS HEMSWORTH HAS DEFINITELY HIT TOWN
Now if you've been reading Pandora for a while, you'll know my hesitation in getting excited about OUR Chris Hemsworth….he absolutely drove me nuts as Kim in H&A with his zero personality and dull monotone dialogue, BUT, he seems to be moving onwards and upwards, so I'm open to changing my opinion of him. He's currently doing the promotional rounds for Star Trek, as you know, he plays Captain Kirk's father in the opening scenes. Well, word is that he's now been chosen to play thunder god Thor in Marvel Studios's live-action film due out May, 2011. Thor will be directed by Kenneth Branagh (Much Ado About Nothing, Sleuth). And K-Mart boy Daniel Craig reportedly turned down the lead role of Thor, so yet another Australian connection…Thor, will also star the awesome Samuel L. Jackson and is also scheduled for a 2011 release.
OPENING OF AN ENVELOPE…..
You don't see the other DH girls half as much. Have you noticed yet? Eva Longoria Parker will go to the opening of an envelope if it means she'll get her picture taken! So while the world waited for Brangelina to descend on the red carpet at Cannes' Grand Palais, Eva was happy to get in there and take up the slack. Here they are at the premiere of Precious, understated as always.
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
Very quiet on the gossip front because anyone who's anyone is in transit to Cannes. And not me, I actually passed up on an invite last year… L
OLIVIA WILDE IS NUMBER 1
She may have been originally known only as number 13 on House, but, according to Maxim, naturally blonde Olivia Wilde is No. 1 on their Hot 100 list. Thankfully beating FW Megan Fox for the top spot. Here's some Olivia facts for you…her real name is Olivia Jane Cockburn - she got the Wilde part surprisingly from author Oscar Wilde! Oh, and her husband is technically a European aristocrat Prince….so technically she's a princess! Other runners up for the Hot 100 list were yawn Angie Jo at number 26, ScarJo at 34, the Alba demon at 13, Freida Pinto for some reason way up at 49, famous for being famous Kim Kardashian at number 53 and even Chelsea Handler got a mention at number 91. And Michelle Obama even made the list at 93.
RYAN KWANTEN
Who knew Vinnie was so er…talented?? In between starring in several successful shows - including playing Leah's ill-fated hubby Vinnie in Home & Away, and Jay in Summerland…..and doing a few decent movies, and qualifying for world biathlons, and competing in triathlons, and writing another book (he's already a published author), and being a qualified yoga instructor….OUR Ryan Kwanten is currently starring as Anna Paquin's on-screen brother in that other vampire thing, True Blood. He's certainly filled out a bit since his H&A days…non?
NEW CHICKIE BABE
Last we heard, Evan Rachel Wood had reportedly taken that tragic old goth Brian Hugh Warner Marilyn Manson back….for some creepy reason we don't want to think about …but it appears he's found himself some fresh blood. Dressed in black and hiding under a tacky black wig, but surprisingly normal eyes….he was snapped leaving Hollywood hotspot Katsuya on Tuesday night…the new chickie babe about to be locked up by her parents is model Isani Griffith, 25. Brian's not aging well, he's only 40.
CANNES
Pixar's latest offering Up is the first animated movie to be the opening film in the history of the Cannes Film Festival. The film is due out at the end of May and so far reviews have been positive; from the Hollywood Report: "Winsome, touching and arguably the funniest Pixar effort ever, the gorgeously rendered, high-flying adventure is a tidy 90-minute distillation of all the signature touches that came before it." And another, "this is a wonderful film. It tells a story… [Director Peter Docter's] whole film is an oblique rebuke to those who think action heroes have to be young." And lastly from Time:Extending the patented Pixar mix of humor and heart, Up is the studio's most deeply emotional and affecting work. Want more? Here's the official movie site at Disney.com/Up.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
The glittery one, Robert Pattinson has hit the big 23, Dennis Rodman is now 48, legendary Stevie Wonder is 59 and badboy Harvey Keitel is 70 and looking it - have you seen him on Life on Mars?

Hello Ladies!
NEW MOVIE NEWS
There's a new rom-com in the works, Valentine's Day, and word is the A-List cast will include Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, Bradley Cooper, Shirley MacLain, that tool Ashton Kutcher, oh, and those two Jessicas…The Alba Demon and The Beil. The film will follow five slightly overlapping stories and all take place on Hallmark's Cupid's favourite day of the year, in LA and will have the following story lines: Julia Roberts is an army officer on leave from Iraq on a flight to L.A. Cooper, on the same flight, is a gay man whose lover is a closeted football player….Ashton is an owner of a flower shop who proposes to his girlfriend (Jessica A), only to realize he is in love with his close friend, played by Jenn Garner, who discovers her boyfriend is married…keeping up so far? Then Shirley MacLaine plays Julia's mother, a happy retiree who reveals to her husband a long-ago affair, and Anne Hathaway is an assistant working at the biggest talent agency in town and dating a mailroom assistant; The Biel is a publicist unlucky in love who has no date on Valentine's Day. Snort! Sounds like another Love Actually, He's Just Not That Into You on Valentines Day.
PARIS AND THAT WHOLE HEADBAND THING
Clearly she thinks she's back in the 20's….or some minion told her "THAT'S HOT".....but this is starting to annoy me on a whole new level! Here's Parisite and Dougie leaving a charity auction nightclub last night….
RUSSELL BRAND
Russell Brand is popping up all over the place again, primarily because he's apparently parking his car in Holly Madison's garage - she was one of Hugh's playboy girls…blonde, big boobs, bimbo….anyhoo, the jury's still out on whether he's a sexy beast or not, so I'm going to set up a poll. I'm still on the fence. I was kinda getting the whole sexy beast thing, and thinking he looked a little bit hot on Rove, rocking the black leather pants…and he is funny and I would say he CAN walk and chew gum at the same time…but then I saw him in shorts, thongs and a t-shirt and the whole thing just died…what about you? Is he hot or not?
HUGE AND AVA IN NEW YORK
Here's OUR Huge, who always seems to look good, enjoying some daddy time out and about scootering with his daughter Ava, and later meeting up with his wife Deborah-Lee. Sweet.
PLEASE LET THIS BLIND ITEM BE TRUE….
She must have read my suggestion….I GUESS / YOU GUESS: He's been served! She has finally pulled the chip out of her head and has served her controlling hubby with divorce papers! And boy, is he mad! She will file on the grounds of "Irreconcilable Differences". The other choice would have required them to go to court, and would have just reflected poorly on both of them. Her attorneys - especially one who worked with her predecessor - have been able to work around most of the restrictions in her original pre-nuptial agreement. She did not fulfill the terms of the contract that would maximize her payout, but she will receive a sizeable chunk of change to keep quiet about his personal life and his special relationship with another high-profile man (please God don't let it be Will, please don't let it be Will, please don't let it be Will….). She had him served with documents for a "Dissolution of Contract," not "Dissolution of Marriage". There is no court filing yet - that's the next step. She will be asking for sole custody of the kid/s. She is not currently pregnant.
KATIE PRICE / PETER ANDRE SPLIT
Of course now that the dust has settled on the "official announcement" yesterday, that the perennially tanned twosome have split, we can all settle down for the juicy little TIT FOR TAT that will no doubt ensue, given the famewhores these two are. So far, word is the Orange Love went rotten when Pete saw pictures of a pickled Katie with her overgrown kumquats out on display for any male in proximity, yet again, and he spat the dummy and immediately asked for divorce. Then a few hours after the announcement, Katie Price released her own statement, "Pete is the love of my life and my life, we have children together and I am devastated and disappointed by Peter's decision to separate and divorce me. As I married him for life. This is not what I want and the decision has been taken out of my hands." Then last night, Katie fled Britain with Princess Tiamamamammaiaiamaia and Junior in tow. Katie left poor little Harvey behind with the nanny. Who wants to bet they reconcile within a month….? Oh, and a note to the UK, you can keep Peter, that's cool J
BEN STILLER VISITS UGANDA
Ben Stiller made a visit to Karamoja in Uganda where Save the Children is helping to educate children who otherwise would have no chance to go to school as part of its global Rewrite the Future initiative. Ben said, "I visited Uganda this year and saw firsthand how Save the Children is making a difference in the lives of children in need. Even in the poorest, most remote communities, I saw children who were excited about learning and teachers who were helping their students to achieve. Save the Children's education programs-many of them in areas of war and conflict-are bringing hope to children who clearly love the opportunity to go to school and try to rewrite the future for themselves and their communities." Word. Ben's pictured showing the children their picture on his camera….concidentally, not that I mind when it's for a good cause, but Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, opens in the US next Friday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Ugly Betty's Vanessa Williams turns 46, American Pie's Jason Biggs will be 31, Tony Hawk is 41, Charlie's brother Emilio Estevez will be 47 and Gabriel Byrne is 59.

JAMES, LEO AND KATE HELP SAVE TITANIC SURVIVOR
After reading about a public appeal by Irish writer and photographer Don Mullan, and his own quest to raise money for the last remaining Titanic survivor, in Irish newspaper the Sunday Independent, a number of Hollywood heavyweights have come to the rescue of a 98 year old lady by the name of Millvina Dean. Millvina's parents decided to leave England and emigrate to Wichita, Kansas where her father had family living and where he hoped to open a tobacco shop. The Deans were not supposed to be aboard the Titanic, but owing to a coal strike, they were transferred to the ship and boarded it as third-class passengers at Southampton, England. Millvina was barely two months old (the youngest passenger) when she boarded the ship. Millvina's father felt the ship's collision with the iceberg on the night of 14 April 1912, and after investigating, returned to his cabin telling his wife to dress the children and go up on deck. Millvina, her mother, and brother were placed in Lifeboat 10 and were among the first steerage passengers to escape the sinking liner. Her father, however, did not survive. Millvina started generating money to pay medical expenses after a hip injury, by selling family mementoes as well as her autograph. It was her hand signing an autograph that was captured by Don Mullan on his Nokia camera phone, which he then started selling off with the support of Nokia to raise money for her. Titanic director James Cameron and the cast have added a small donation to help secure her financial future. Come on Celine - cough up!
NEXT KATIE EMANCIPATION RUMOUR
Word is Tommy is pressuring his stepford-bride to whip up another baby and that Katie agreed to start trying after her play finished in January…..but alas it hasn't happened. 'Tom's control, through Scientology, has been almost unbearable for Katie,' a source adds. 'But the more she's fought it, the tougher he gets. Never having any space to herself is stressful for her.' A fellow by the name of John Duignan, a member of the cult for 20 years who knows people in Tommy's entourage, also weighed in and explained: 'If she's under pressure to provide another child, they'll use very powerful mind-control techniques to help Tom get what he wants. Katie had been in New York, talking to real people and then she was back in the world of Scientology. 'She could crack up. There are lots of suicides among Scientologists - it's psychologically very damaging. At least she's been exposed to outside influences. But it's difficult to escape, especially with a child.' Umm, Sydney, Katie……make a break for it AND GET SOME TIPS FROM NICOLE... She certainly looks like she's had a lobotomy, look at what the girl has been wearing! Apparently her own creations! Puhlease - clearly they're Tommy's creations, I'll bet he has his own sewing room, and makes Katie put her name to it to protect his manly reputation!
OF COURSE DREW & JUSTIN ARE NOT TOGETHER….
Here's Drew Barrymore and her non-BF Justin Long enjoying another leisurely Sunday at their local Market in LA….wait, has Drew gone all Twilight on us? Is that a hickey on Justin's neck???
OPRAH CHATS WITH SUSAN BOYLE
Britain's Got Talent hopeful Susan Boyle spoke with Oprah on Monday and admitted that she didn't think she would win the singing competition. While the 48-year-old's surprisingly awesome rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Mis got over 100 million YouTube hits in a matter of weeks, which in turn made her a global household name, she told O she didn't think she could outdo her talented rivals on the show. But even if she does lose, she could make millions over the next couple of years via record deals and endorsements according to Forbes Magazine. "She has a voice that appeals to a lot people, while her background and appearance work in her favor," publicist Max Clifford. "She would be the most unlikely star of 2009." Also, James Herring, managing partner of celebrity management agency Taylor Herring, told the magazine that Susan's appearance and demeanor can only work in her favor in marketing the singer to the masses. "She should do very well," he said. "There is a large record-buying audience who will want to see her do well and advertising brands that would see her story as an interesting alignment with the kind of message they are trying to send out." Definitely Susan's turn to shine.
PARIS SPEAK
As you are no doubt aware, Paris Hilton is currently locked in legal battle with the producers of her 2006 comedy "Pledge This!" because, according to them, Paris didn't adequately promote the film, which subsequently flopped. Last week, Ms. Hilton took time out of her hectic holidaying schedule to take the stand in order to clarify a few things. In doing so, Parisite provided a whole new collection of monumentally dumb comments, but I can't decide, is she really that dumb, or is she a master manipulator? When asked if she kept a diary for business: "No I just press my name and Google it and see." Oh, but wait there's more….When asked if producers tried calling her: "With my phone I never know, because I lose it all the time. I probably get a new cellphone, like, every two weeks." And this pearler, when shown her mobile phone bill: "I've never seen a phone bill of mine in my life." Oh, and wait, this one's a gem, when asked what her responsibilities as one of the film's producers were: "I'm not sure what a producer does, but - I don't know, help get cool people in the cast?" Snort!!! What's your take? Dumb or a master manipulator? And what's with those stupid headbands????
SINCE HER STYLIST'S BEEN GONE
American Idol success story Kelly Clarkson performed in LA over the weekend looking just a little too much like Meat Loaf and Billy Ray's love child for my liking…..I'd walk right past her in the street without knowing it was her. You?

Hello Ladies!
JUSTIN DISHES ABOUT PARKIN HIS CAR….
During yet another comedy skit on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, Justine Timberlake gave up a few little tit-bits including some juice on his relationship with ex GF Britney Spears while playing a fictitious ancestor of his — immigrant Cornelius Timberlake — and predicting the future. Justin started by saying, "I'd like to think that at first, he'll date a popular female singer (Britney Spears). Publicly, they'll claim to be virgins. But privately, he hit it." He continued joking: "Then, he'll make love with women so beautiful and so often that it won't be enough for him and he'll, I don't know, try some stuff with guys. I mean, he'll be straight! Forget that part! Everything is true except that part". Cue the cricket noise! Like is that a shock to anyone?????
SALMA'S HONEYMOON IN PARADISE
Here's Salma and her husband "Franky" enjoying their honeymoon. Hang on, bucket loads of money, romantic Italian wedding, gorgeous baby girl….and they might actually genuinely love each other????
ARE JAVIER & PENELOPE ENGAGED?
It might be nothing, this IS from Star Magazine…..but it's fun to speculate so I'll share. There are new rumors doing the rounds that hot Spanish lovers Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are engaged. Word is, Javier was overcome with sentimentality at Pene's BFF Salma's Venetian wedding, so popped the question shortly after. I'm hoping this is the real deal for Pene, unlike her previous 'arranged' relationships with Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey, which always had a whiff of a PR about them.
HEIDI AND SEAL RE-TIE THE KNOT
I want to be friends with Heidi and Seal. They have the BEST parties. As we know, every year Heidi and Seal celebrate their wedding anniversary with a renewal of their vows in front of family and friends. This year, they decided to incorporate their love of costume parties and celebrated their anniversary on Saturday in Malibu, with a trailer park theme, complete with mullets! Heidi wore a lace-and-sequins top with glittery veil and hair in Bo Derek style cornrows, while Seal went for a brown mullet and studded jacket in an American flag print. An Elvis impersonator was the celebrant. Pink flamingos and colored lightbulbs adorned a tent wrapped in pink and white frills. Guests, who were pretty much unrecognizable, came in denim shorts, leopard print and leather jackets. After the vow renewal, guests cheered and toasted the couple with Mexican beer and food and listened to 60's music while partying on the patio decorated with inflatable pink flamingos and leopard balloons. "Everyone was laughing and having good time." said a source. Also in other news, turns out Heidi's new baby will be a girl!
AMY BOMBS AT ST. LUCIA JAZZ FEST
It was supposed to be Amy Nuthouse's triumphant return to the stage, but it ended with the audience booing and hissing her shambolic performance! Amy apparently shouted f*#k you back at the audience at least twice before stumbling off the stage. Amy's 'people' initially blamed it on the rain, "Amy would like to express her disappointment that weather forced the abandonment of her show at the St Lucia Jazz Festival last night. Amy and the band tried to soldier on but the set had to be cut short. Amy is very disappointed as St Lucia has been wonderful to her and its people have welcomed her with open arms, but circumstances beyond anyone's control meant that this special show did not go as planned." Then they tried to blame it on Blaaaaaaake, but the audience blamed it on her drunken performance. She turned up after a six hour drinking session, stumbled onto the stage muttering to herself, guzzled more booze in between songs and verses, forgot the words to her own songs, stumbled around on the stage in her high heels and flailed her arms around for no apparent reason. One audience member wrote: 'I was there. She was booed off the stage." 'If it was the rain why did the act after her perform?' What's disturbing about this is that her 'people' are even letting her perform in the first place, then covering up for her over and over and that her 'people' are not looking out for what's best for Amy.
WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER
Suddenly it's chic to hang with Barack Obama and attend the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. It was held on Saturday in Washington, D.C. Of course Eva Longoria-Parker was there! Duh! Pictured, gorgeous Mariska Hargitay, Natalia Portman, Sting and Trudie and of course Tommy and Stepford Katie.
SANDRA BULLOCK DOES HARPERS
Love Sandra bullock. She graces next month's cover of Harpers Bazaar magazine, primarily because she has a new movie coming out, a comedy, The Proposal, starring as a Canadian cougar boss who pops the question to her assistant (Ryan Reynolds) to avoid deportation. "I hate the term rom-com," she says. "Yeah, there's some comedy and romance in The Proposal. Isn't that in every film? Anne Fletcher, the director, is the reason this one turned out as cleverly as it did. And Ryan and I have been friends forever, at least nine years, before both of our marriages. Our timing seemed compatible, but you just don't know until you get into a scene together." Sandy B also passes comment on the constant questions she gets about if she's pregnant even though when she married husband Jesse James four years ago, she also became a stepmother to Chandler, Jesse Jr., and Sunny, "You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. We're all family, an extended family," she says. "I'm not going to spend two seconds of my life wishing I had something I don't. It's hard to do it your way when you hear everyone else telling you to do it their way. I reamed out this idiot girl at some premiere once about this. I had just been talking to a friend who couldn't conceive, and I saw her pain. And this girl said" — she affects a nasal whine — "'I'm from Star magazine. Are you pregnant?' And I went off on her. What if I couldn't have kids? Do you know what that would make me feel like? I just want people to admit that there's no one way to live your life. Of course, I don't know what's going to happen. I could go home today and go, I haven't started my period." Word. So, aside from her new movie, she's also running her homey-chic, eco-friendly restaurant Bess, which she opened three years ago, and her new general store/bakery/florist just down the road, oh, and she also has a working organic avocado and citrus ranch! So is there anything she wont do? "A musical. I'm not a singer. People don't want to see me in a musical. I hate them. Hate them. I do know my limits," she says with a laugh. "I don't always heed them, but I know them."
CAN YOU BELIEVE SHE'S NEARLY 10?
Ava Elizabeth (9 ½) enjoys some time with her father Ryan Phillippe. Oh, and she's just a little clone of her mother (Reese Witherspoon) don't you think?

Hello Ladies!
I'm having no end of trouble with pictures on this site at the moment. Thank you for your patience. Check back later, hopefully pictures will be attached. AGAIN!
TOMMY AND STEPFORD KATIE ARE COMING TO MELBOURNE
The Alien enlightened ones are coming to Australia. A rep for Katie Holmes has confirmed that she's signed on to star in Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, a thriller written by Pan's Labyrinth, Hell Boy and Hobbit mastermind Guillermo del Toro (so with his experiences, he should have no issues dealing with Tommy Cruise if he comes). The adrenaline-pumping movie will be based on a TV movie from back in 1973, which centered on a girl who moves in with her father and his girlfriend, only to realize that they are not the only occupants of the house….i.e. dark-sided creatures from Hell are their housemates. The movie will be shot later this year in Melbourne. Bet she's hoping she can come alone with Suri. Bet that wont happen.
IS THERE A NEW BRAD IN JENNIFER ANISTON'S LIFE?
Jennifer Aniston's new movie Management opens next week. And…..so surprisingly there's fresh rumours doing the rounds about another potential boyfriend. How does that happen? Her latest new man is apparently former Alias boy Bradley Cooper (they were both in He's Just Not That Into You), he's been in other movies too, usually playing the supportive buddy, and according to a NY paper, Jen was seen brazenly flirting with Bradley the other night at the Management screening, lightly caressing his chest and murmuring into his ear. She also probably compulsively kept touching her hair. It's her signature move. "Bradley and Jennifer [Aniston] were definitely into each other," says a partygoer (probably her publicist). "She kept touching his chest and whispering in his ear." In the past few weeks alone, she's apparently hooked up with Gerard Butler (but then he zipped off to India to catch up with Priyanka Chopra), so then there was that oldie but goodie, she's having clandestine meetings with Bradley sPitt. As much as it would be hysterical if she ended up with another Brad…..Owen's holidaying in Hawaii Jen, go and see Owen!!!!
LOHAN DOES MUNROE AGAIN
As I've said before, this is not the face of a girl who needs you to feel sorry for her. This girl is loving every minute of the attention. Totally lapping it up. She's done up for a photo shoot for an upcoming issue of Spanish Vogue. But remember these pics, the reality, when the masterfully airbrushed version comes out, highlighting her youthful healthy glow.
KEITH & NICOLE BRING OUT SUNDAY ROAST
They've been awfully low-key of late, and then they're randomly spotted in Santa Monica, California on Wednesday. Hmmm, this is my other favourite game, is it staged? Has Nic called her favourite papps on speed dial? Part of me says yes, because Keith is currently on the North American part of his tour promoting his new album (aptly named) "Defying Gravity"……but then another part says not this time. Why you ask? Because see how Nicole is holding Sunday Roast, and then after she spots the papps she swoops her in closer and looks over to see if they're still snapping - if you see the whole sequence it's obvious. Keith on the other hand appears to be a natural at the whole daddy thing.
EVA LONGORIA
In her spare time, when she's not attending the opening of an envelope, a Rally for Kids with Cancer, on set for DH, posing with her mother and a cookie recipe for In Style magazine or posing for People magazine as Audrey Hepburn, Eva Longoria Parker is vamping it up for the next issue of Harper's Bazaar Singapore and I like it! Suits her hair like that, non? There's a quote by Eva on a fansite that I thought would warm the cockles of your heart, "When I first saw Tony, he took my breath away, it was lust at first sight". Bucket….
A BLACK BOND
Probably wont ever happen, but I'm totally loving this one. There's talk about a growing desire for the next James Bond to be black. Reigning Box Office king MY Will Smith chatted to the papps about a potential casting while at the Simon Wiesenthal Centre's Humanitarian Awards night, where he was a presenter. Will was asked who would make a better black Bond out of himself, P. Diddy or Jamie Foxx, Will responded, "Puff probably lives the most like James Bond… Jamie Foxx got the swag for James Bond. He can sing too, so he can add a new element to Bond. Wooing the ladies… and I think I can guarantee the box office!" Hard call. I'll have to go with MY Will. Also, referencing his other secret agent role as Agent J in two "Men in Black" blockbusters, Will said he hoped to return for a third! "We've had a couple of meetings. We're looking at it," Will says of a potential third round of the hit franchise. "The team has committed, so we have to do it service with the creative part of it. Everyone is on board, so we will see what happens."
JOSHUA & DIANE
I love Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger together. I was only talking to my son yesterday about the life of a "Hollywood" star. About the arranged hook-ups, the fakery….so it's so nice to see genuine affection every once in a while amongst the stars. These two started off the week with the Costume Institute Gala, and then yesterday they were spotted walking hand-in-hand through the streets of Paris. What a life! But soon it's back to work as Diane will shortly start promotion commitments for Inglorious Basterds and Josh starts filming season two of Fringe.
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
RYAN REYNOLDS SCORES HIS OWN SPIN-OFF
20th Century Fox has confirmed that Ryan Reynolds is getting his own Deadpool spin-off and potential franchise launcher. He has the body for it, and he certainly worked hard on the moves (saw him re-create the bullet scene on Ellen) but does he have the attitude? Can he sell a movie the way OUR Huge does? Ryan Reynolds prefers lecturing people via Huffington Post and looking like he's too good to pose on the red carpet. Again, back to his appearance on Ellen (as well as many others) earlier this week, Ryan Reynolds has the personality of a puff adder! The 32-year-old Canadian actor, will again star as Wade Wilson, a wisecracking, cancer-stricken mercenary who's cured of the disease after undergoing the same Weapon X genetic alteration as Wolverine. But along with superhuman powers, enhanced strength and self-regenerating healing powers, the slightly unhinged Deadpool can absorb the abilities of dead and captured mutants. Maybe it's just me but I don't find him even slightly appealing…you?
SCARJO'S NEW MOVIE
Seems husband Ryan Reynolds isn't the only super hero in the house. Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau Twittered about the moment yesterday when Ms. Scarlett Johansson stepped on to the set for the first time in costume for her character Black Widow. "Scarlett's first day on set in the Black Widow outfit," Favreau wrote. "You've never heard a crew get so quiet so fast." Scarlett scored the role after Emily Blunt dropped out due to a scheduling conflict (see below). Fans of the franchise were up in arms at the casting change saying that Scarlett didn't physically resemble the character. But after a quick dye job on Johansson's part, it looks like she's ready to smoothly slip into character as a Russian spy. And if the Black Widow's big screen costumes are anything like the illustrated version, the busty actress will kill it in skin-tight black leather! Just as well Ryan has those sword skills….
STILL GORGEOUS
Julia Roberts holidaying in Hawaii this week with her family.
TIME'S 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE
Last night in Manhattan, Time Magazine honored its 100 "Most Influential People" at a gala event. Everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Stella McCartney to Ann Coulter were in attendance, but the girl who got the party started was First Lady Michelle Obama, who's speech received a standing ovation from the crowd. During her speech which focused on innovation & public service, she also gushed about another highlight of her trip to NY, visiting the US Misson to the United Nations and Sesame Street for an appearance with Elmo and Big Bird. "I never thought I'd be on 'Sesame Street' with Elmo and Big Bird and I was thrilled," she told the crowd at the mission. "I'm still thrilled. I'm on a high." "I think it's probably the best thing I've done so far in the White House." Oh, her husband Barack was on the list too. How cool would it have been to be at Michelle Obama & Oprah's table for the night!
VICKY B CONTORTS AGAIN FOR ARMANI
You know we watch her, not because she's a star, but in an odd perverted way, to see how skinny she is in her quest for what she perceives to be sculpted perfection, to see how hard she contorts herself and if they're together, to play photo assumption. Posh Beckham was at Macy's in NYC yesterday to unveil her new Alien Armani campaign. I note she's been to see the surgeon, bit of odd puffiness....slightly frozen features....face not so guant...
BEYONCE
Beyonce Knowles graces the June 2009 cover of US Marie Claire magazine. The 27-year-old shows off a few of the 58 over-the-top costumes designer Thierry Mugler (Angel perfume) made for her world tour, "I AM…" which kicks off in two weeks and will see her on the road for the rest of 2010, visiting 110 cities worldwide. Beyonce has been working tirelessly on tweaking and perfecting her show and says, "Fifteen years from now, I want to be able to look back and say, 'Wow. That's where I was at 27,'" she says. "That was my best." According to her mother, Tina, "She stays up late reviewing tapes, studying them to make it better. It's hard for me—it's one of the reasons I go on tour. I'm always the person to make her go to bed. I'm still her mother, so I can walk up and close the computer and tell her to go to bed." She does absolutely nail it, you can see the dedication and effort that's gone into each performance, you've got to give her that! And then there's the other side of her, the girl who is newlywed B, who has on her left hand, spelled out on her index, middle, and ring fingers are the appliquéd letters J-A-Y; on the thumb is a mini likeness of her husband, rapper Jay-Z, wearing a cocked Yankees cap and a cocky smile. B giggles at herself. "It's just a silly thing that makes me smile," she says. And I liked this bit, of her hit song "Single Ladies", B shares, "More than anything, the song celebrates being single. It's like, if you've been doing all you can and it's not happening for you, go out and have you a good old time. Put on your sexy dress and move on. I know I'm stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us." Word.
GULLIVER'S TRAVELS
Here are some sneak peeks of Emily Blunt as Princess of L Lilliputia and cutie Jason Segel as Horatio on the set of their new movie, Gulliver's Travels, yesterday in the UK. Sounds good so far, but then unfortunately Jack Black plays travel writer Lemuel Gulliver (groan). In the movie, Gulliver takes an assignment in Bermuda, but ends up on the island of Liliput, where he towers over its tiny citizens. Gulliver's Travels opens everywhere in 2010
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Georgie Clooney turns 48, Tony Blair is 56, OUR own Jim Robinson aka Alan Dale is 62 and Bob Seger is now 64. There's a lesson in this picture for you girls....don't discount the geek!

Hello Ladies!
FASHION STATEMENTS & SOME FASHION DISASTERS
So last night, NY time, was the Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. the theme of The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion exhibit. Apparently where good fashion went to die. Most looked pretty trage, but there were a few exceptions, including Eva Mendes (in a metallic CK sleeveless gown), Claudia Schiffer and Iman (David Bowie's other half).
Here's my summary:
TYRA BANKS: What in the name of all things holy is that on her head??
Vicky B: We've seen her contorting herself in a similar dress before. There's this little contortion club of which she is part of, other members that spring to mind would be Renne Z and Parisite, all of them will require pelvic realignment in the coming years! Can you imagine the practice and the pain to get that pose just right?
THE BEIL: Over reaching once again….clearly she doesn't know the meaning of 'understated'. Justine is trying to look cultured. Oh, and she'll be battening down the hatches cause word is Cammie D is single again!
MADONNA: Madonna - What the??? It was a sad, navy, puff-ball LV mini-dress, accessorized with thigh-high patent-leather boots….and bunny ears??? Oh, sorry, I do of course mean an avant-garde head piece. Oh, and Madonna's date was of course her own personal Jesus (first time at an official red-carpet style event), but no one notice because they couldn't stop looking at her! And knowing she was competing for attention among the world's most glamorous A-listers, I'd say that's exactly what she was after. p.s. her outfit is worth just under $9k US.
Eva Longoria Parker and Tony Parker: She looks like the cat that swallowed the canary. Do you like the dog collar?
Eva Mendes: Gorgeous as always. One of the best dressed.
Mary-Kate Olsen: Looks like one of the Witches of Eastwick….again.
Kate Moss: Again, why? Am I the only one not taking crazy pills?? Someone actually wrote: "A stunning turban wearing Kate Moss co-hosted the event along with singer Justin Timberlake…" Say what?
Claudia Schiffer: Awesome! You see it's not that I'm jealous of Super Models…..I love Claudia, and I love OUR Elle and I love Heidi.
Kate Hudson: Is it just me or is the man eater losing her vavoom?
Kate Beckinsale: Another one who doesn't understand the meaning of understatement, also a BFF of Vicky B for a reason, she's another who would out dress you at your own wedding!
Iman: Now that's what I'm talkin about!
Liv Tyler, Kate Hudson & Stella McCartney: Meanwhile fashion designer Stella McCartney arrived with her rather well-dressed muses Kate Hudson and Liv Tyler. But it seems that the stardust wore off when it came to dressing herself. Stella opted for a plunging lacy jumpsuit with angled pockets and a tightly waisted belt. Nasty.
NEW MOVIE NEWS
Movie darling Reese Witherspoon is in talks to co-star in a new movie called Used Cars, with Ben Stiller. The movie, which is a comedy, will take place in the future, in a world run by women who clone and trade men like used cars. Reese is Ben's clone owner, and it focuses on their relationship. Hopefully it's not like a very disturbing movie I saw once called Good Dog or something like that with Billy Connelly. Similar concept, totally freaky. What do you think: is this something you'd want to go see?
LOHAN UPDATE:
Word is that SLH Lindsay Lohan has been getting cozy with her former fling Jared Leto. The two were apparently spotted getting up close and personal at the Roosevelt Hotel, where Nylon magazine and MySpace's Young Hollywood poolside party was happening.

Hello Ladies!
HUGE NEWS
Now that the hype and excitement of promoting X-Men Origins: Wolverine has eased slightly, news of OUR Hugh Jackman's next project has come to light. Huge has signed on to star in Ghostopolis, which is an adaption of an unreleased novel. He'll play a government agent with a Supernatural Immigration Task Force, working border patrol for this world and the spirit-inhabited Ghostopolis. He's forced to team up with a female ghost—who also happens to be a former flame—when a living boy is accidentally dispatched to the wrong world. There's no start date yet for the project which OUR Huge will also be producing. Sounds good.
PINK IS NOT HAPPY
In between concert commitments at 02 Arena in London, a justifiably pissed Pink has Twittered over the weekend regarding the items posted that say she is bisexual, she said they are 100% fabrication. Pink posted: "I just read that im bisexual. so 1991. good thing people write articles about me so i can get my facts str8. i mean straight. read on people." She also said, "What has the world become when one's unfounded assumption based on general stereotypes turns out to be incorrect and leads to the realization that people can't be categorically put into neat, little boxes? Not a world I want to live in, that's for sure." Pink also told Perez in a video chat that everyone knows how honest she is, and if she were gay, she'd say so. She said she'd be waving her flag all over the place. But she's not, and said, "..it's not my truth, so I have to defend my truth". Word.
MORE THAN JUST A SEXY BEAST!
As we know Gerard Butler is in India (word is so he can spend time with new fling Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra). Last weekend he fulfilled his promise, made to Slumdog Millionaire stars Azhar Ismail (youngest Salim) and Rubiana Ali (youngest Latika) at the Oscars back in February, and came to visit and spent the day partying with them. The five-star hotel festivities were all courtesy of the 39-year-old Scottish stud. So sweet!
EWAN MCGREGOR IN ROME
Now that we've had more than our fair share of OUR Huge, it's time for Ewan to dominate the press for the next couple of weeks, as he joins fellow cast members on a promotional tour for Angels & Demons. Here's Ewan with Tom Hanks and the rest of the cast in Rome for an A&D photocall.
JESSICA SIMPSON
Embattled singer/actress Jessica Simpson graces next month's cover of Vanity Fair. As you read, you realise that while Jessica is rich (apart from her previously earned incomes, she has a $400m clothing line, which she helms with her mother) she's not exactly perceived as all that successful. Right now, in fact, she's seen as a failure. Failed actress, failed singer, failed TV star (Newlyweds anyone?), failed wife, and failed Dallas Cowboys girlfriend (she get's blamed for bringing bad luck to the team, and betting is often based on whether she is in attendance at a game). But it's only a few years ago that Jessica was No. 44 on Forbes's list of the hundred most powerful celebrities; she's had seven singles hit Top 10 and has gone platinum three times; her first movie, The Dukes of Hazzard, opened at No. 1, and now she's at a crossroad turn left, new opportunities, turn right, get married and disappear into obscurity. Of the flogging she seems to constantly receive from the press she says, "It comes with what I do," she said, "and I know that every day the media's going to challenge me, is going to want to bring me down. But I feel like I'm at such a place that I own myself, and it's authentic. I own that authentic part of myself, and none of those words are harsh enough to make me believe them." She then said, "I can't imagine saying some of the things people have said about me about anybody else." HEAR HEAR! If you watch interviews with Jessica, you'll see she's not the ditz she's portrayed to be, you see that she is smart, she reads, she has her own individual thoughts! Jessica also talks about how she met her current BF Tony Romo (quarterback for Texas Cowboys i.e. the king), whom she met through her dad and started seeing in 2007, "My dad is a super Cowboys fan," Jessica said. Of their relationship, Tony has said, "We're very similar in that we both appreciate the hometown feel to a lot of things, and live our life like that." Jessica also talks about her inner self, "I'm spiritual. I live off the faith that has been instilled in me, that has never left. I've never let a stumbling block actually make me fall." She talks about her beliefs: "We all go through trials, but not one thing has ever made me question God. I have a great relationship with God. I can talk to him, get mad at him, frustrated with him. But, ultimately, my faith is what defines me." And of her future, and that crossroad, "There will always be another opportunity," she says, "another door to walk through." And I have to say, when you consider these pictures of her, look what happens when Jess is styled properly (not by Ken Paves) and shot by Mario Testino…Gorgeous, right? When she isn't picking her own clothes, when she's in the hands of those who know, Jessica Simpson has so much potential. If only Joe would step back and stop running her career out of his ass.

CONGRATULATIONS TO REBECCA GIBNEY ON HER WIN!
Soooo refreshing to see Kate Ritchie's Super Sally reign of terror is finally over! And Nat Bas = A Logie - Pfft don't think so!
THE RETURN OF NO DOUBT
No Doubt are back, and performed a couple of songs on USA's Today show. It's kinda like coming home watching her sing Don't Speak. No Doubt then kicked off their new world tour at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City on Saturday night! Gwen looked out into the crowd and told her fans, "Its so good to be back after five f*#king years" and "I forgot how adorable you all were!" Won't tell you how long they've been together, it'll make you feel old!
STEPFORD KATIE
Tommy must have upped her lobotomy meds. They went to the premiere of Star Trek over the weekend. Katie looks like she's wearing Tommy's secret dressup stash, and we hope her blank expression is actually because she's concentrating on how she can beam herself the hell out of there! The two did not walk the carpet, choosing on a rare occasion not to steal the spotlight, unlike Mel Gibson earlier this week at Huge's Wolverine premiere, with his k-mart version of Angelina Jolie. Of course Tommy was noticed anyhoo, and dutifully signed autographs for his fans while his robo bride patiently waited.
MAGGIE G GOT MARRIED
One of Tinseltown's most stable couples, Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight) and Actor/Director Peter Sarsgaard tied the knot in a small chapel in Brindisi Italy on Saturday. Maggie's younger brother Jakey G and his GF Reese Witherspoon were among the guests at the ceremony. Maggie & Peter have been together since 2002 and have 2 ½ year old daughter Ramona together. Sweet.
ANNA KENDRICK
Was watching Twilight again over the weekend, and it got me thinking about Bella's scene stealing school buddy Jessica, aka 23 year old Anna Kendrick. So I googled her. While her name is not automatically recognizable, YET, she was on last year's One's to Watch list, and a VERY lot of people have been talking about her. She's also been in other movies such as Rocket Science & Camp. And next up, besides the whole Twilight franchise, she's just completed another movie, co-starring opposite Ben Stiller in The Marc Pease Experience and has just started a comedy (in between New Moon commitments) called Up in the Air with none other than Georgie Clooney! Another one who could have been Bella and done a better job. Never noticed Kristen's whole "hand" thing the first time I watched.
A WHOLE CHEESE PLATTER
Can you believe it's been a year? I have to say, I was one of those nay-sayers who gave it 6 months, tops….until the champagne buzz wore off. To celebrate their anniversary, Mooriah and Nick held an intimate little do at the Las Vegas Moon nightclub, with a few hundred close friends, and Nick surprised Mooriah with a video montage of their first year together as man and wife (grab the bucket before you look at the pics - trust). The Hello Kitty princess was so touched by his gift she shed a crystal tear that dripped down to the floor and sprouted a bright rainbow of butterflies that fluttered around her. And how much fun can we have playing photo assumption?? Check out the guy with the glasses, he's wishing he drank more, and the guy behind them is tearing up because he didn't leave five minutes earlier!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Dwayne The Rock Johnson turned 37 over the weekend (tried so hard to get a pic of him being slimed at the Kids Choice Awards WITHOUT the Jonai in the picture - well worth a look trust), that old Prada handbag Donatella Versace is only 54, Snotty little twit Lily Allen is 24 and David Beckham 34.

Hello Ladies!
KELLY MCGILLIS COMES OUT
Finally! After years of deny deny denying that she prefers girls, Tommy's Top Gun leading lady Kelly McGillis, who's now 51 and divorced with two children, has come out in an interview with SheWired and said, "I'm done with the man thing. I did that, I need to move on in life. That's another part of being true to yourself... that's been a challenge for me personally. I think that was an ongoing process from the time I was about 12. I had a lot of things happened that convinced me that God was punishing me for being gay. That was a hard process. Life is a freaking journey, and it's about growing and changing, and coming to terms with who and what you are, and loving who and what you are." Surprisingly, this announcement comes only weeks before Kelly is next seen on the stage, costarring along with Julia Duffy in an upcoming production of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes at the Pasadena Playhouse in LA! And also lightly alludes to the whole Miss Universe storm and religious undertones…How convenient.
JENNIFER GARNER HEALS LETTERMAN
Jennifer Garner is currently doing the rounds for her new movie Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, which opens in the US today. Yesterday she appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman in NY and as David Letterman has the same affliction as me and can barely speak, Jenn whipped him up some tea with honey and lemon! Jenn also explained about her cuts and bruises, given that everyone keeps asking…."I just biffed," she told Letterman. "I took a header. I wasn't even making an action movie or anything. If you do it when you're making an action movie, you feel cool. When you do it when you're just running on a beautiful day in front of a lot of people, you don't feel so cool. (laughs) And you think you're anonymous and suddenly everyone's like 'Jen Garner just fell down! Jennifer, do you need help???'" I like her. As much as there are rumours lately that she's not all sweetness and sugarplums, who'd want her to be? I liked her in Electra and I LOVE her in Suddenly 30. You can watch it on You Tube if you feel compelled, Jennifer Garner on Letterman 2009.04.29.
MADONNA IS RUFFLING FEATHERS AGAIN
Of course the material mum is renowned for her diva antics, so this story comes as no surprise. Seems Madge has her sights on a Hamptons property and while she recently stayed at the beautiful Wolffer Estate Vineyards in Sagaponack (in the Hamptons), sources have said she wasn't interested in buying the 12,000-square-foot, Tuscan-style villa and 100 acres, which have been on the market since the winery's well-liked founder, Christian Wolffer, died in a freak gasoline boating accident in Brazil on New Year's Eve -- she just wanted to board her horses at the winery's stables. Soooo, Madge naturally presented the estate with a 10-page list of demands, according to said source. One of the more outrageous stipulations was that "no one could be in the riding ring at the same time she was." So what did the owners do? Laughed in her face and turned her down flat. Since then, Madonna has kept her horses at pal Steven Klein's residence, where photographers supposedly snapped her when she fell from her horse three weeks ago. Madonna's rep said, "Madonna never had any discussion nor were demands made regarding her storing horses there. There is no 10-page list of demands. None of that is true. No info regarding where and if she's house-hunting. I get calls all the time about different places saying she's looking to buy there in 10 different states." Not that Madonna or her rep are necessarily ones to be believed, they've repeatedly told porkies over the years….like the whole falling incident 3 weeks ago…

Hello Ladies!
MEL GIBSON STEALS HUGH'S THUNDER
Who knew Mel Gibson had Vicky B tendencies (to add to his list of delightful personality traits)? You know, THAT friend who wears the better outfit to your wedding, or turns up at your LA premiere for your latest movie, with his new chickie babe, on the tail of his divorce announcement and request for "privacy". Walking a red carpet in front of the world's paparazzi is surely a great way to keep that level of privacy! I guess, Mel's decided he's got nothing to hide, so brought out his new Russian chickie babe to a screening of Wolverine yesterday evening. Until now, 53-year-old (yup, that's all - he needs access to RDJ's lunchbox full of vitamins) Mel and his 39-year-old girlfriend, Russian composer and Timothy Dalton's baby mama Oksana Grigorieva, have been hiding out in Costa Rica where they've spent their time on their knees praying, of course. The two met after Oksana was signed to Mel's music label Sugar Tits Records. Mel's rep told People Magazine, "Mel has been single for almost three years and it's nice to see him getting out and enjoying himself." Oksana is looking pretty damn smug herself in these pics and she looks oddly like a mix between Angie Jo and Octomom!
SEAN PENN WALKS AGAIN
Seems this is the month for the long suffering Robyn/ins to be set free! Sean Penn has filed for legal separation from his long suffering wife Robin Wright. Again. They did this over a year ago only to reconcile shortly after. You might recall Sean's Oscar win back in February, when he first stood, and Robin tried to get a hug from him, beaming with pride, and he completely rejects her, then neglects to mention her in his acceptance speech. Obviously that Sean Penn wants to be single. He really wanted to be single last year at Cannes. And now he can pick up without the guilt…if he ever felt guilt to begin with. You'll recall he was parking his car in Lohan's trashy garage a few months ago, then there was the Natalie Portman rumour, and of course the two euro chickie babes hanging off him every night during his time in Cannes last year, and then at other times there was Petra Nemcova, Helena Christensen, Ines Misan and Naomi Campbell. This time, run Robin, run! Get yourself someone younger and hotter (not hard) and enjoy yourself. Find that youthful glow you used to have before Sean Penn sucked it all out of you!
RACHEL WEISZ
Gorgeous, intelligent, educated and artsy..Rachel Weisz graces the May cover of BlackBook Magazine. She's once again a breath of fresh air, and in the accompanying interview Rachel marvels that as she's so un-newsworthy and boring, with no skeletons, interviewers are always digging up the past, as if her parents' failed marriage might somehow shed light on who she is now and the roles she chooses to inhabit. She finds this particularly odd as she's now in her late 30's. But not only does she have no scandals, and is proving to be a talented actress, has some great movies and an Oscar behind her, she's also revered by her peers and friends. Of her experience with co-star Rachel Weisz on the set of their upcoming movie The Brothers Bloom, Rinko Kikuchi says, "Rachel's concentration is very intense. She has this magic that puts everyone under her spell." OUR Hugh Jackman, with whom Rachel starred in the time-travel love story The Fountain, seconds the sentiment. "Rachel is fearless," he says. "She has a razor-sharp wit, brimming with creativity." Looking back on his experience with Rachel while filming The Fountain in 2004, however, Hugh is reminded of one particularly awkward moment: "There was a scene that called for me falling into the bath with Rachel. I was fully clothed, and we started to kiss, which was meant to be the end of the scene. Darren, who was sitting no less than three yards from us, never called cut, but like good pros we carried on until my pants started coming off, which is when we started laughing. Darren screamed, 'Why didn't you take his pants off, Rachel?' And she yelled back, 'Because I was shy!'" Rachel laughs and shakes her head while remembering this exchange, and says, "My husband the pornographer." Even Ben Stiller, her co-star in Envy, the 2004 stinker about fecal evaporation, says, "We were always laughing together. She was definitely the highlight of an experience I've almost altogether blacked out." Peter Jackson, the director of The Lovely Bones, offers: "Some people think of Rachel as a beautiful movie star with an air of fragility about her. However, having played laser tag against her with my son, and seen her running around wielding a gun, I can tell you—she's not that fragile!" Paul Rudd, who starred opposite Rachel in The Shape of Things, agrees: "Rachel has an ability to stare at you and, in seconds, you feel as if she's detected all your bullshit." Hugh Grant, who played Rachel's love interest in the romantic comedy About a Boy (hated that movie, wanted to punch the mother for being so stupid and self absorbed), says, "Making a film with her aroused more jealousy and rage in my male friends than any other girl I've ever acted with."
THIS IS TOTALLY HOW I DO MY SHOPPING
I wonder if Dita Von Teese wears makeup to bed? She's always immaculate, and she's got to have an edgy crazy side considering she was married to that freak Marilyn Manson! This is the 36 year old burlesque beauty shopping! Dita is also reportedly dating a French aristocrat toyboy. He's 25-year-old Count Louis-Marie de Castelbajac, and they were first spotted together at the Coachella Music Festival.
USHER AND SON
For the couple of Usher fans still out there, here's some pics of Usher and his cute as a button little mini Usher V at the beach in Miami yesterday, soaking up the sun with friends. Mini Usher, who has the nickname Cinco, leads his dad by the hand and plays with his trucks at the seaside.
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
THE FILM SOCIETY'S 36TH GALA HONOURS TOM HANKS
Julia Roberts, Charlize Theron, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Speilberg and Sally Field were amongst the celebrities who gathered to honour Tom Hanks in NY on Monday night for the Film Society of Lincoln Centre event, but somehow, Julia didn't get the memo where she was asked to toast her Charlie Wilson's War colleague...not roast him. I guess every party has one, and Julia was "IT". She loaded up her cannon with f bombs and aimed it squarely at the audience. Julia started with, "Alright well, it's late and I'm paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee," she began. "So Tom, everybody f-----g likes you. All my bits are gone." Julia the went on to talk about Tom's expansive film career, but with attention to the low-lights.."I love the Cohen brothers, but the hair Tom [in 2004's Ladykillers], I didn't even know what the fuck that movie was about! "You in the airport with the accent (she's talking about Terminal)? It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn't know. I love you, and I didn't know what to do, really. God, I'm wearing the same fucking dress tonight as your publicist! Listen, I've got to get home. But this much we know ... I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you. A few more f-bombs later, Julia finally said her farewells. "Listen, I've got to get home…I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you." Before falling off the edge of the stage, Julia told the audience, "It's so dark out there, I feel like I'm in space. Thank you, whoever just made it light. J.J. Abrams, are you here?" When the guest of honor finally took the stage, he already knew the big story of the night wouldn't be about him and he joked that the headlines Tuesday would read, "Julia Roberts wears same dress as publicist," adding that she "has the biggest potty mouth you have ever heard." But in the frenzy, what hasn't been included in every other report, was this quote from Julia: She said "I just want to tell you something that's really from the heart that I do have… Tom can walk into any room and make you feel like you're in your living room… make you feel comfortable, make you feel like you have something interesting to contribute, make you feel like there's a reason you're on the planet. And that's a true gift… it's heart and it's compassion and it's soul. He has that and only a couple of other people that I gave birth to have that." Seriously, Julia needs to do shiz like that more often! Can you imagine their scandalised faces!
THE RETURN OF CREED
In June 2004, Creed released the track One Last Breath which as it happened, turned out to be the band's swan song, and the lead up to a bitter split. Well, word is Scott Stapp (was definitely on my TO-DO list way back then, in his tight leather pants…back in the Arms Wide Open video clip..ahem) and his former band mates are reuniting to launch a nationwide tour and release their first new album in eight years. "It's amazing how life can change and bring you full circle," Scott said. "It's rare in life to get a second chance to make a first impression and we embrace the opportunity." Scott was the one who initiated the reunion last December. He claims that there is no lingering acrimony among them, saying the trick is, "not looking back at the six months out of 10 years that were trying." Way to see if you can work together again - a tour! Word is their first single will be a track called Full Circle (which will probably come out around the time their tour starts), note he incorporated the title into his statement! The tour starts in August in the USA only.
THE GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST PREMIERE
Last night at the Hollywood premiere of The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. I've seen the shorts, and it just looks exactly like all Matthew's other movies…anyhoo, McConaughey brought his baby mama, and Jennifer Garner hit the red carpet for the first time since having baby Seraphina. And you know what? Kudos to Jennifer for not starving herself after the birth of her baby. She's gorgeous and she looks healthy. Finally a realistic celebrity standard. Also in attendance, Michael Douglas. He plays Uncle Wayne.
OF COURSE SHE EATS
Snotty little upstart Keira Knightley is once again rabbiting on about her shape, or lack thereof, and assuring us that she eats like a horse!
AND AGAIN, OF COURSE SHE EATS
Stephanie Naumoska, Miss Australia finalist for the Miss Universe pageant has been copping a hammering over her swizzle stick appearance. I'm sure when she's fully clothed, Miss Australia looks healthy enough, but the bikini pictures of her are a little scary - you could count her ribs, and you can pretty much see every bone in her arms. Miss Australia has issued several vehement denials of an eating disorder, including a defensive appearance on Good Morning America, all the time claiming to live "a healthy, active lifestyle". "I've never been anorexic or bulimic, I've never been malnourished or underfed," Stephanie Naumoska said. "I live a healthy, active lifestyle." Critics, citing the model's visible bones and ribcage, said Naumoska's emaciated look was a danger to herself and those looking to emulate the her. A judge in the competition remarked he would have "wanted to go and feed her straightaway" if he was her daughter. I agree, just like in the last Australia's Next Top Model, or whatever it was called, one contestant was ordered to put on weight because her skeletal frame was unappealing, and alarming. You know what I think would help? A BMI standard.
SJP NEWS
Seems the rumours of a split between Matthew Broderick and SJP are about to die a quick death as a rep for the couple has just confirmed to E! that they are expecting twin daughters via a surrogate. The couple already have a 6 year old son, James Wilkie. And in other good news, while talking to reporters at the Tribeca Film Festival, Sarah Jessica Parker confirmed that Chris Noth will reprise his role as Mr. Big in the second Sex and the City sequel. The sequel will be out May 2010, and even though they haven't even started filming yet, there has already been enough leaks to sink a battleship. It's a smart move for Noth, who's not gainfully employed since he lost his steady gig on Law and Order: Criminal Intent for reasons unknown. The rumor last year was there there was issues regarding contract/money, but neither Chris Noth nor L&O producers confirmed that. Chris was replaced by Jeff Goldblum on L&O: CI. Wonder what story line they'll have as last we saw, Carrie and Big had finally tied the knot so maybe it will be the pitter-patter of little feet? America's Dancing With the Stars stud Gilles Marini may also get to reprise his role as the sizzling—and often naked—neighbor and love interest to Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones. "I don't have a clue," Parker said. "I don't know anything specific about a story for him, but it's very possible." All four ladies, as well as writer-director Michael Patrick King are set to return for Sex and the City 2, due out May 2010. But let's just play my favourite game, photo assumption shall we? SJP clinging to MB. He distant and would looking once again like he'd rather be elsewhere. And those sideburns! Hopefully they're for his new play on Broadway….
REAL NAMES
Before they were famous, some celebrities had those most delightful names. Take for example the delectable Lady Ga Ga. She's from NY and her real name is Stefani Germanotta (pictured below). As she was once compared to Freddie Mercury (in looks) she decided to take the name Gaga from the Queen hit song, Radio Ga-Ga…..! Then there's one William Bradley Pitt who shares his first name with his father, and hails from Shawnee, Oklahoma. He decided to go with his middle name when he decided to become a star….so too did Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Ryan Pillippe. Eric Marlon Bishop was a struggling comic and notice that the comedy clubs quite often called up the women, so he placed his name on the list as Jamie Foxx, and then when the call came for "Jamie Foxx" he stood and said "Yeah, Brother, right over here man." Then of course there is Caryn Elaine Johnson, who got her nickname "Whoopie Cushion" due to a certain flatulence problem, and so became Whoopie Goldberg and lastly, Ms Natalie Hershlag decided to take her Grandmother's maiden name when she decided to pursue a career in acting and became Natalie Portman. "I have a different name on my credit card, my driver's licence and my passport, so it gives me a real level of privacy," she said.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
The Alba Demon turns 28, beautiful Penelope Cruz is now 35, Bridget Moynahan is 38, Jay Leno is 59, and gorgeous Ann-Margaret (who co-starred with Elvis in Viva Las Vegas) is now 68.
Enjoy your day!

Hello Ladies!
ANGIE JO'S FORMER BODYGUARD SILENCED
The Brange have reportedly brought out the big guns after catching wind of a planned, and apparently not so flattering memoir by their former heavy-handed security guard, Mickey Brett. Mickey has also done bodyguard duties for celebrities such as Sandra Bullock, Tommy Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sylvester Stallone, Richard Gere and of course The Brange who apparently he has the juiciest dirt on. So, old Mickey has been shopping around a proposal for a tell all based on his career. He's been guarding Angie Jo since 2001, and while he reportedly has kind words for the Oscar winner, Brett's not liking Bradley quite as much. The Brange's legal representation is Hollywood pitbull attorney Marty Singer who is now on the attack. So for the moment, there will be no book….really get's the smutty senses tingling though as to why they're so hell bent on keeping him quiet…..and if their secrets are worse than Tommy's, WOW!
FROZEN FEATURES
This is Meg Ryan folks. She's at the premiere of Serious Moonlight at the Tribeca Film Festival last Friday. How do I put this delicately? What in the name of all things holy, has she done to herself? Has she been to Madonna's Dr. Brandt? Did you see him on Sixty Minutes on Sunday night? They all look exactly like each other! Expanded lips, bulging forehead and swollen cheeks that cause the eyes to look like slits! Dr Brandt is where they go in NY if they want the best and in one day, this Botox Baron would see up to 30 patients, each paying a minimum of US$4000 for a face full of injections that wear off in about three months! The 59-year-old uses more botox and injectable collagen than anyone else in the world. And that's not just on himself! But what I want to know is WHO tells them they look fabulous like that??? Really? It's like the Idol auditions, family and friend's should be honest, and say "Sweetie you're a great singer, but in a non-competitive-non-Idol way." Have you seen what Rupert Everett has done to himself? We've all seen many times what Nicole Kidman does to herself, but it's reaching epidemic proportions! Personally, if I decided I wanted a little freshen up, I'd be going to Michelle Pfeiffer or Sharon Stone's (same age as M) doctor. Subtle, yet does the trick! And sadly I think my old fave Ashley Judd's gone down the frozen road too (see Salma's wedding pics)!
MILEY CYRUS
Have a look at Miley Cyrus' appearance on Jonathan Ross last Friday, in London to promote Hannah Montana, and try to come out the other side without wanting to slap the tastebuds out of her smarmy mouth. Miley Cyrus is just a low class, hillbilly tool. She shouts at Jonathan Ross, she is cocky, she is inconsiderate, she is rude and condescending and basically she is painful. Did you see her comments about Helen Mirren? And her refusal to say Helen's name? Did you see Helen Mirren politely grit her teeth and smile?? Fabulous Disney role model for the tweens. Miley Cyrus on Jonathan Ross part 1 and 2
MORE SALMA / FRANCOIS-HENRI WEDDING PICTURES
Penelope and Javier, Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend and Ashley Judd.
DID YOU KNOW RORY GILMORE IS 27?
Rory Gilmore, aka Alexis Bledel attended the premiere of her film The Good Guy which is part of the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival at SVA Theatre in NY on Sunday.
NOT TOGETHER
Of course they aren't. Drew Barrymore and Justin Long spent their Sunday hunting for a bargain at their local market.
Enjoy your day!
