I Knew She Was My Kind Of Girl!

christina_ricci_drunk.jpgAdorable pint-sized actress, Christina Ricci and her fiance, Owen Benjamin, hit the bar for some pre-flight Bloody Marys at LAX this morning - at 7:30 AM! I guess I'd need to be drunk to visit Indianapolis in the freezing early spring as well. It must be true love for these two scruffy, morning sippers! I'm a longtime fan of Christina's - if she's happy, I'm happy. (Unfortunately she doesn't look overwhelmingly thrilled in this photo. I, on the other hand, feel great today so I guess that sentiment isn't entirely true.) Congrats again, you crazy kids!

jennifer-garners-torn-panties.jpgTimes are tough, but you know there's a serious crunch going on when a noted Hollywood starlet can't buy new undies. Or perhaps even famous ladies need "period panties"? It seems like her hunky hubby is enamored with her, no matter what... Click here to reveal who needs a shopping day at La Perla!

Madonna's Master Manipulation

March 31, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
madonna-and-kids.jpgNotorious control freak Madonna made a surprise move in Malawi yesterday by allowing her adopted son, David Banda, see his father. The young child didn't remember the man who was once his "Dad" - but it looks like they had a sweet reunion nonetheless. Meanwhile, Madge has been accused of manipulation and being a "bully" in her bid to adopt another toddler from the country. Many involved in the process are allegedly starting to rumble that the risque divorcee is playing coy for the court by dressing demurely and refusing to associate with her former boy-toy. Ummm, yeah. That could possibly be happening! Rumors are also running rampant that the child's devout Christian family are concerned that Mercy James, the young girl under adoption consideration, will most likely be introduced to Kabbalah beliefs if raised by Madge. Check - again!  Mercy's mother died in childbirth and the whereabouts of her father are unknown, however the child's grandparents are still alive - and they're upset that Mercy might be "kidnapped" by M. It seems no matter where Madonna goes, controversy is sure to follow! Meanwhile, ex-husband Guy Ritchie took his lawyer out for a night on the town to celebrate the final stages of his divorce. I'm sure he treated her to a mighty fine dinner, after all the money she just helped him secure!

I doubt few have ever been quite so grateful to see his/her 36th birthday! DJ AM seems like a really sweet guy and I'm glad he's still around. I'm sure his birthday celebration was jubilant!

Brad Drinks Beer, Gets Slapped On The Head

March 31, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
angelina-jolie-looking-severe.jpgAnother row for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? If the tabloids are to be believed, heck yeah! The recent scuffle culminated when Angie returned from an exhausting day of filming, only to find Brad tucked away in their bedroom, drinking beer and watching DVD's. Sounds like a good afternoon to me! She was reportedly furious that the nannies were struggling to take care of their rambunctious brood, while Pitt was relaxing. Heck, isn't that what you pay them for? Jolie then began screaming at Pitt. Brad was "like a bear with a sore on his head and kept telling her to leave him alone." They are allegedly back to sleeping in separate bedrooms after the latest fallout. Sexy times! Brad, walk out the door and hop a flight to Malibu. Jennifer's waiting and you'll never have to worry about afternoon beer drinking sessions again.

Agadoo-single.jpgThe worst song of all-time is being rereleased - hey, there's a great way to save the music industry! Click here to watch the video. If you ever wanted to see two white guys return from a Jamaican vacation, act really high and put their band in fruit suits - this one's for you! Ridiculous. The song, released by Black Lace in the early 1980's (was it the band name that gave it away?), became a huge hit but was later deemed "extremely annoying." Yeah, I've heard coke can allegedly do that to ya! The single was later parodied in numerous settings, including by the band themselves when they released an X-rated version of the song called, "Having A Screw." I wonder how the pineapples came into play on that one?

That's Really Funny, Holly!

two-faces-of-holly-madison.jpgHolly Madison has spoken out to US Magazine regarding Kim Kardashian's recent photo "scandal" and airbrushing - she also reveals her belief that current airbrushing standards are "over the top." OMG - really? As someone who's made her living off of photo retouching and trick makeup, you think she'd be quiet on this subject - though it is refreshing to see her standing up for another female instead of trying to manipulate. However, I'm pretty sure Kim would have never survived Mansion living under Madison's rule! Holly also goes on to claim that the last guy she dated (Criss Angel, ewwww!)  "... liked me best with no makeup, so I'm totally casual now." Holly, I'll give you a clue. He liked you best when you were unattainable - it didn't really matter what the fuck you were wearing or how you were wearing it.

Kendra Gets Obvious

Kendra-Wilkinson-Chargers.jpgKendra Wilkinson, of The Girls Next Door fame, is releasing a workout DVD - one that comes with a stripper pole, of course! "It's like Carmen Electra's, but mine is better. Mine will connect to the ceiling and you can spin on it and stuff." I'm assuming she's talking about a professional pole and not fiance Hank Baskett. Meanwhile, she's wrapping up filming for the first season of Kendra, her upcoming reality show on E! - which she says has been weird because of missing Holly and Bridget, but also tons of fun because Hank was willing to be a big part of the experience. She describes the program as "... kind of like I Love Lucy but newlyweds. It's funny." I, personally, will be watching - I won't be able to help myself! I'm not so sure about investing in a Kendra approved stripper pole though...

Gisele: Every Woman's Nightmare

Jenna Zine
Gisele-Bundchen-with-Toms-son.jpgBreaking up is often a difficult and painful experience. Going through a split while pregnant and having to simultaneously watch your ex move on with a young super model? Sounds excruciating! That's Bridget Moynahan's life - and Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen seem hell-bent on making it worse. Most of you are familiar with Tom and Gisele's romance, culminating in their recent wedding. But did you know, despite having never met Bridget, Gisele considers Tom's son her very own? While the super model realizes John (Tom's son with Bridget) has a mom and she "respects that" she also goes on to say, "... but to me, it's not like because someone else delivered him that he's not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent. I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that's important, but I love him the same way as if he was mine." What. A. Bitch. How maternal can you be if you're referring to a child as "it." Of course Gisele should, and does, love the toddler - but I don't think it's necessary to publicly share the opinion that you consider the baby "yours." That seems blatantly hurtful. The couple already chose to get married in the church that Bridget regularly attends - do they really need to take her baby, too? I can't even begin to imagine Moynahan's agony as she parts with her child each week, knowing that Bundchen is gonna be toting him around in front of the paparazzi.

Twitter Ups The P.U.H. Ante

March 30, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
mariah-carey-with-her-puh.jpgAnd I thought employing a "Personal Umbrella Holder" was fancy! Twitter is upping the ante on what it means to be a celebrity with a recent job posting. The microblogging empire has taken note of the active 'famous folk' presence on the service, and is now getting ready to hire a VIP Concierge to help celebs with their Tweets! Sadly it's too late for Courtney Love, in a lot of aspects, to take advantage of this option - but it will surely help those busy actors who wish to maintain contact with fans and the like. That's a pretty swanky sounding job, especially in these current economic times. Click here for background on this post, and here to read more about this crazy opportunity!

Courtney Love's Tweets Have Her In Hot Water

March 30, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
courtney-love-ass-plant.jpgWhat took her so long? Courtney's craziness on the web is well documented via her infamous blog, but it's her recent action on Twitter that's finally landed her in trouble. Love is being sued by designer Dawn Simorangkir, of Boudoir Queen, for a host of things, including libel, emotional distress and breach of contract. Courtney used to have high praise for Dawn, but, as with many of her friendships, the connection has somehow soured. She recently Tweeted (Twatted) that Dawn stole from her, amongst other ramblings. The Boudoir Queen is not taking it lying down and it looks like she has a pretty good case. Courtney, never one to learn her lessons, immediately got on the microblogging resource to accuse "Lohan and Kelly" (Lindsay and Ripa?!) of taking ADD drugs from her purse at the recent Coachella Music Festival. Never a dull moment!

lindsay-lohan_5.jpgRumor has it that Lindsay's been texting some hunky DJ's she recently met in London - and neither one is named Samantha! Lohan has always had a reputation for being flirtatious, but the latest move has ignited another round of fireworks between the duo. The two have always had a rocky relationship and Sam has lived with the constant fear the Linds may go back to dating men. She has every reason to feel afraid. Lohan could be drawn to the cock again at any moment, like a tractor beam. Frankly, I could see it happening any day now...

jennifer_aniston_in_red.jpgHope you're sitting down... Jennifer Aniston has fired her longtime hairstylist! Wow. I don't even know what to say. I just hope we can all make it through this difficult time. Her hair magician, Chris McMillan, has been working with the actress for fifteen years. He's now focusing on attracting other big name clients. One has to wonder if something suddenly came between the two - Jen, or perhaps the studio, famously spent $50,000 to fly Chris to London for her recent Marley & Me promotional tour. Why the sudden change of heart? Rumor has it Jen is still thinking of experimenting with her luscious locks. What does she intend to spring on us, with her up-and-coming new look? I literally can't wait. I also feel like I lost a few brain cells, writing this little bit of "news."

bourdain-wrestler-mexico.jpgHave I mentioned my love of cooking and travel? I'm a huge fan of Anthony Bourdain, the Travel Channel, Gordon Ramsey and so on. You may remember that I'm not a fan of Rachel Ray - especially after being unceremoniously turned away from her BBQ at SXSW. One thing that kept me strong during that experience was knowing, no matter what, Anthony was on my side. Not only do we share a love of the aforementioned passions, we also share the opinion that RR sucks. Then I read Bourdain's blog. The latest entry made my head spin... It's a thank-you note to Rachel, from Anthony, in regards to a fruit basket. Actual fruit, not a view of a man's nuts-n-berries from behind. What is going on here? I literally felt the world tilt on it's axis. Now I'm frightened and confused.

Tiny Angie!

Jenna Zine
angelina-jolie-salt_2.jpgAngelina Jolie's health might be in trouble - and it's allegedly causing concern on the set of her current film, Salt. The actress is looking so thin that producers have taken the actress aside to discuss the issue. Reportedly she's on a detox diet to lose twenty-one pounds in twenty days. Good lord, I hope that's not true! That's sheer in sanity. Trouble has also arose because, as you may imagine, Angie is exhausted - though she still continues to do most of her own stunts. And, of course, there are rumors of trouble between her and Brad. I can't imagine they'd still be together if they were even half as miserable as the tabloids report! That said, you can take the following with a grain of you know what: She's barely seeing Brad or the kids, despite the family's move to be near her while filming. She and Pitt are also sleeping apart and he's being denied a sexy bath-time ritual due to his alleged hanging out with the nanny. Though I'm not a huge fan of Angelina's, I hope she feels better soon. Time will tell!

The bratty one apparently got choked up after receiving kudos as Favorite Female Singer - an award she didn't believe she would win. Nothing like false modesty to fool those pint-sized fans! There was an impressive amount of star power at last night's event. Notably absent, of course, were Chris Brown and Rihanna. Chris finally withdrew his name from consideration after controversy erupted over his attendance. Miley's crocodile tears aside, it sounds like the Awards show was very successful.

Here's The Real "Real" Reason Why Jennifer Broke Up With John

March 28, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
john-mayer-as-captain-stubbing.jpgJennifer Aniston was probably bending more ways than a contortionist in an effort to get out of accompanying John on his "Mayercraft" Cruise! Four days of fun, festivities and music - plus the agony of being trapped on a boat with a noted horndog. Here's John dressed as Captain Stubing. (Please tell me you remember "The Love Boat" - or have at least have heard of the 70's era cheese-fest.) We all know Mayer fancies himself head honcho of his own personal Love Boat! The Daily Mail, a London-based paper, claims that John has a huge following in the states. Would anyone care to refute that charge? Americans have enough difficulty maintaining a positive image overseas - we don't need the additional Mayer-baggage!

Sometimes I Feel Bad For Lindsay Lohan. This Is One Of Those Times.

March 28, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
dina-lohan.jpgSometimes I forget that Lindsay Lohan essentially grew up in the spotlight while sporting the responsibility of being the main wage-earner for her entire family. I also, somehow, tend to forget that her mom and dad are batshit crazy. She seems like her own clubbing entity, existing solely to make my job easy by providing the tabloids with an endless stream of drunken antics. It's easy to lose the context of someone else's life in this position. Then I saw something that brought me crashing back to reality - Dina Lohan's Twitter account. It's almost enough warrant Lindsay a free pass. When you're the spawn of Dina and Michael Lohan, you've got a serious uphill battle, my friends. That said, use what's left of your remaining money and get yourself to a good psychologist, Lindsay. Break the cycle! 


UPDATE: Fooled again! Sigh. It turns out it wasn't Dina Lohan writing those crazy Tweets. Too good to be true, I guess. I still stand by my opinion above, nonetheless.

Kravitz-Miami-home.jpgI think we could scrounge up $2,850,000 between us and nab the Miami pad of rocker, Lenny Kravitz. He just put it on the market. Come on you guys, don't let me down! This could be the place to hang in Florida. We could build our own in-home nightclub, complete with stripper pole, just like Paris Hilton! Lenny seems to be a peace-n-love kind of guy, which means he'd probably leave us the lava lamps. I'm thinking in-vest-ment. Me: responsible, lively roommate. I have excellent taste in home decor. You: give me money, come over to party, clean up. I really don't see how anyone can let this opportunity go by. Meanwhile, let's have a moment of silence for Kravitz. If this sells, he'll only have his NYC apartment and a get-away in Paris (the city, not the girl) to fall back on. I just don't know how one can live with so little!

Britney_Spears.jpgOne of Britney Spears' biggest fan-run websites is about to be shut down completely on the order of her father, Jamie. Breatheheavy.com has been running for five years and accounts for a large percentage of fan activity online. Jordan Miller, owner and webmaster of the site, has issued a statement, which you can read in it's entirety here. Jordan seems to be implying that Jamie is trying to control Britney and is willing to shutdown any fan site with a dissenting opinion that does not reflect that of the conservatorship. Jamie's side, on the other hand, claims that Jordan makes a profit off of Brit's image and does so by using unauthorized photos and lyrics. At least I think that's what's going on - it's Saturday morning without coffee, as of yet. Godzilla could be attacking and I'd probably yawn and comment on how pretty his green scales look in the light of that bright ball outside. Here's a couple of links here and here. Let me know what you think!

ashton-kutcher-shirtless.jpgIt's no secret Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore love to share - the couple are extremely active on Twitter and both are adept at generating daily press with their blogging antics. I guess I'm part accomplice, since I tend to bite at everything they throw my way. Well, let today be no different! Here we have a lesson in "too much information" as we learn that Ashton got his chest waxed and, of course, filmed it. I've got to say, his "40 Year-Old Virgin" reenactment is a bit overwrought, given that he barely has any chest hair. He claims he had to proceed with the waxing, due to a thoughtless stunt double working on his current film. Ashton is not allowed to perform certain stunts for insurance purposes, so the double stepped in. Unfortunately the fill-in waxed his chest, which meant Ashton had to do the same. Frankly I think he could have passed for hairless already, but click here to watch the video and decide for yourself!

60_foot_phallus_on roof_of_mansion.jpgWhile the parents are away, the kid will play! What to do if you're a wealthy London teen? Paint a giant penis on the roof of your folks $2 million home, naturally! Eighteen year-old Rory McInnes was inspired by a documentary, Google Earth, in which he learned that technology is allowing us to photograph every inch of Earth from space. I guess he wanted to make his own mark on the project - and chose to do so by climbing on the roof of his ritzy pad and painting a 60-foot phallus on the building! The artwork remained in place for an entire year without his parent's knowledge, until a helicopter noted the image and called The Sun. The paper in turn phoned the homeowners, who finally caught up with their son. Rory had been out galavanting around the Europe and when he was confronted only exclaimed, "Oh, you've found it then?" What a scamp! If this happened in America, he'd totally do the talk show circuit and maybe even have a fling with LeAnn Rimes. She needs the press now that her Lifetime Movie has aired!

Uma_Thurman_-_Cannes_2000.jpgZac Efron's recent admission that "fame is great" makes me like him more than I previously had, which was zero. Efron seems to appreciate where he's at and is very clear on where he's going. He's in the biz and wants to be there. None of this "poor me" crap we sometimes hear from more ungrateful stars. (Hello, Kristen Stewart!) Speaking of Twilight and sudden attention, Robert Pattinson has said he'd love to have a job where he could "shut himself away" - though I doubt that will actually be arranged! On to one of the ultimate fame-whores in the gossip stable... I'm sure a realization is dawning in John Mayer's mind that, whether he's into her or not, Jennifer Aniston's body is a lot warmer than a computer keyboard and some Tweets. He's recently turned on Twitter, calling it "stupid and dumb" as well as "... one step away from sending pictures of your own poop." Meanwhile, Twitter started a rebound relationship with ex-lover, Facebook. Over in irony, someone who actually is talented doesn't feel famous at all! Uma Thurman says it's difficult to feel fame, she just does what she loves and lives her life. Herein lies the perfect lesson for everyone above!

Amanda Bynes Dodged A Dick-Sized Bullet

Thumbnail image for paris_undies.jpgCutie Amanda Bynes' ex, Doug Reinhardt, is far more famous for moving on with Paris Hilton than any "acting" he's done. Yet, somehow, he's everywhere. Where is he right now? Well, I happen to know that he and Paris are en route to Clifton, New Jersey's premiere nightclub, Bliss Lounge, for their "first ever public appearance as a couple" this evening! If you are anywhere near New Jersey, please attend this event for me! I can't imagine what in the hell this will entail, other than watching Paris and Doug smooch in between gulps of Belvedere vodka, but who am I to judge how someone chooses to spend his/her Friday night? Meanwhile, the clubbing duo are reportedly engaging in discussions about making some babies. Paris was recently quoted as saying that she just couldn't get past ex-boyfriend Benji Madden's piercings and tattoos. She's relieved that Doug is "clean-cut" and thinks he'll make a great dad. Doug, for his part, says Paris is his "Angel Princess" and would love to have some mini-Paris clones running around. God help us all. Let's boil this down - Paris hooked up with Benji in order to irk former best friend, Nicole Richie. She tried to make a go with the twin Madden, but eventually relented in defeat because Nicole has nabbed the hotter of the two. Doug somehow weaseled his way into Hilton's life and she's digging him because she can train him better than one of her fifteen dogs. Have fun tonight, kids!

joel-madden-pregnant-nicole-richie.jpgWith baby #2 on the way for reformed socialite Nicole Richie and "rocker" Joel Madden, one might wonder what their plans are for their growing family. Guess what? They don't have any! Madden revealed, in a quote that positively makes me cringe, "We let love plan our babies." Wow, I really didn't need to know that - but now that I do, I'm gonna share it with you! Joel says that their first child, Harlow, was an "accident" - albeit a happy one. Madden goes on to explain that they "don't know how many children they'll have." I have big news for Nicole and Joel: there are devices called "condoms" and a great thing called "the birth control pill" - both help prevent pregnancy and, when you "choose" to stop using either form of "protection", can help you "plan" for a baby! Welcome to the twenty-first century. Join us here, it's really nice.

Madonna Says "Adios" To Jesus Luz On Twitter

March 27, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
madonna_jesus_luz.jpgIt's all about the Tweets, peeps! Madonna was on Twitter for ten whole minutes yesterday, with longtime manager Guy Oseary, to answer some fan questions. One person wrote in to say how glad he/she is that Madonna is single again, to which M replied, "Not as glad as I am." The singer reportedly dumped Jesus Luz in a bid to smooth over any controversy for Malawian officials. Madonna doesn't want anything standing in the way of her plans for toddler, Mercy James - and that includes the young model and their "romance." Even as I'm writing, I'm not clear if this is a trumped up "they split!" story or if she was possibly referring to the end of her marriage with Guy Ritchie. However, the world of gossip blogs churns on this very bullshit so I'm gonna run with it. It appears all signals are "go" for Madge's adoption plans. Mercy is already in the hands of M's staff, waiting to be reunited with the singer who fell in love with the tot two years ago while creating her documentary. I hope the process is rife with less drama than the last adoption, for the sake of the kids!

kate-moss-lily-allen-partying.jpgCombustible partiers, Kate Moss and Lily Allen, have been paling around together and rumor has it the dynamic duo are only getting closer. Lily, 23, seems like the appropriate match for single-mum Kate, 34 - not! While they do share a love of all things powdery, the two friends are separated by a decade - not to mention Kate has a little daughter to look after, which it seems she rarely does. Moss' "rocker" boyfriend, Jamie Hince, is reportedly on tour - his absence most likely plays a star role in Kate's sudden interest with the Smile singer. Kate has been showing up at Lily's shows and Allen has been accompanying Moss back to her mansion, where the private parties rage until 4:30 A.M. Though the constant companionship seems to have sprung up out of nowhere, Lily claims she and Kate have been friendly for years - sparked by an incident when Lily was getting the shit beat out of her at a music festival and Kate stepped in to stop the bullying! How tough could these other girls have been if they were scared off by Kate Moss? Two toothpicks banded together are thicker than that woman's legs - I've heard firsthand via an eyewitness report! I'm sure this tight friendship will endure until Kate's on-call penis returns, or until Lily is reunited with Lindsay Lohan. Party on, girls!

Amy-Winehouse-Berlin.jpgAmy Winehouse was recently caught sucking her thumb while out on a stroll with her bodyguard. Though that behavior may seem a little odd, it's a lot better than we've seen from her of late. She looked relatively healthy and relaxed, which is more than I've been able to say about her in ages. In a telling move, Amy left the following quote on Facebook (gasp!), "If you love him, let him go." It seems she might be getting closer to releasing ex-husband, Blake Civil-Fielder, in her heart and life, - which, most likely, only means good things for the troubled singer. The news gets better - producer Mark Ronson, who helped make Back to Black a hit, is considering working with Winehouse again. Ronson, like so many others, was completely fed up with Amy's drug and lifestyle antics. He has publicly refused to collaborate with her until she cleans up her act.

Surprise! You're The Father!

March 26, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
jeffrey-dean-morgan.jpgNope, not talking about 13 year-old Alfie - it's Jeffrey Dean Morgan who recently found out he fathered a child with an ex-girlfriend four years ago. The hitch is that the lady just told him about the kid! Needless to say, Morgan is surprised but does want to be a part of the child's life. Actress/producer Sherrie Rose had a relationship with Jeffrey, before he dated ex-fiance Mary Louise Parker. It has not been revealed why Sherrie waited four years before mentioning the child, a boy, to Morgan. I wrote a post in January, where I postulated that Jeffrey and Mary Louise's relationship fell apart upon her learning he had a secret child - turns out that wasn't the case, but it wasn't far from the truth either. Weird. It's difficult being right all the time! Just ask my boyfriend - ha ha! Jeffrey doesn't land in the tabloids often, but I hope we get a few more details on this story.

A Couple Of Baddies Must Have Slipped Past Daddy!

britney_spears_cop.jpgThough Jamie Spears has gone out of his way to approve everyone working on Britney's Circus tour, it sounds like a few bad seeds slipped through the net. Two of her crew members were arrested last night for attempting to beat some police officers. It might not surprise you to learn that a fair amount of liquor was involved! Criminal conspiracy, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct are amongst the charges the duo will face. Click here for more details. My guess is the two men are were dropped of roadside in Pittsburgh, leaving them in Brit's tour bus dust!

Plot Points Leaked For Sex Movie

sex-and-the-city-wedding.jpgI hate to ruin it for you, but it goes something like this: insert here. Ha ha! Oh, I'm cracking myself up. What am I really talking about? Sex & The City: The Sequel! Somehow key plot points have been leaked about the film and I'm about to reveal what I've learned. Please, please DO NOT read any further if you don't want to know about SPOILERS! I'm not sure about the validity of the information, but if confirmed this will definitely bum you out if you want to be surprised when you watch the movie. Okay, here it goes... Big loses all his money and is forced to take a job in London, where he's bunking in a one room apartment. While overseas, he sleeps with another woman (arghhh!) and Carrie flies over to confront him - only to learn she is pregnant! Oh, juicy stuff. I'd be so disappointed in Big, if this turns out to be true. I can't separate the character from reality. I'm totally busted. Either way, I can't wait! I'm still obsessed with Sex & The City and I'll take any shred of newness I can get from the series. It's not quite as desperate as it sounds, but I am going to cuddle my cat now.

Heard The One About The Father Who Exploited His Thirteen Year-Old Son?

March 26, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
alfie-maisie.jpgRemember the sad story of the thirteen year-old boy who allegedly fathered a child with his fifteen year-old girlfriend? I thought it was odd at the time how invasive the press was allowed to be, and how much access they were given, in light of the fact that everyone involved is a minor. Well, it turns out the Alfie Patton's dad was willing to do so - for a price. Now that he's milked his cash cow, it's been revealed that Alfie is not the father of Chantelle's baby - though he certainly has been put through the wringer. Does that not constitute some kind of emotional abuse? Who is there to protect Alfie from his own father? It's been revealed that Chantelle had been with several other boys before getting together with Alfie, one of whom is actually the father of the infant. Sad stuff, all the way around.

rihanna-gun-tats.jpgHere's a photo of Rihanna's new gun tattoo. The images below her shoulders were just outlines - the official ink job is the one on her ribcage, near the armpit. Odd image, odd choice, odd placement. Most people get tattoos of something that has personal meaning - so one must seriously question what went through Ri's mind when choosing a gun. I'm sure all will be revealed in due time.

Madonna Is Gearing Up To Grab Another Kid

March 26, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
madonna-and-kids.jpgOperation Jolie-Pitt single mom Madonna is in effect! The whispers are about to turn from "rumor" to "fact" as 50 year-old Madge prepares to fly to Malawi later this week in a bid to adopt another tiny tot from the impoverished country. M's first attempt was met with much controversy when it was later learned that her youngest son's father was still alive. Many questioned if rules had been bent to accommodate the ultra-wealthy singer. In return, she has created both a charity as well as a documentary about the plight of Malawi. She allegedly wishes to bring home Mercy James, a female toddler whose mother died in childbirth. Technically single mothers have a more difficult time proving they can provide for an adopted child, though there's no doubt  Madge is equipped with a cadre of care. Incidentally, Madonna's dogged desire to adopt again and Guy Ritchie's staunch refusal was reported as one of the many things that drove the former couple apart. However, one can't argue  that being adopted by the icon would change a child's life for the better in many ways. Good luck, M!

Scarlett The Clone?

Two-Scarlett-Johanssons.jpgI realize both photos are of the lovely Scarlett Johansson, but maybe there is truth to the cloning rumors... The photo on the left was taken several months in to "the married life" and she looks distinctly older. Not "old" older - I guess "mature" is a better word to describe her vibe. This reminds me of a classic girl in the 1950's who hadn't been told about sex, only that the marital bed would "make her a woman." The penis: shrouded in mystery, wrapped in condoms enigma!

labor_pains-lindsay-lohan-dvd-poster.jpgOuch! Do you remember about this time last year when Lindsay was seen bandying a script everywhere she went for her upcoming flick, Labor Pains? Well, the movie is going to be released, but not in the way she would have hoped! The film, about a woman who fakes a pregnancy to get out of work and then has to find a way to follow through with a baby, will be shown on ABC Family television in July and then goes straight to DVD in August. It can live out a happy, dusty existence next to Blonde & Blonder (co-starring Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards) and Blonde Ambition (featuring Jessica Simpson). What fine company, Lindsay! How is that Oscar bid coming? *(All three of these lovely movies will/have experienced limited theatrical release, but essentially went straight to DVD for all intents and purposes.)

I Guess I Missed The Casting Call

emma_bruce.jpgHow did newlywed Bruce Willis met his current bride? At a casting call for a film he starred in two years ago! Under the guise of being "hands on" for the flick, Perfect Stranger with Halle Berry, Bruce requested that even the smallest female role be filled by a model. He then attended every tryout to help pick the parts. Unusual for a big star, but not so odd upon learning single Bruce was essentially shopping for a date! That's one way to save on Match.com fees. I guess he liked what he saw - two women picked from the process landed in the movie, Bruce dated both of them and ultimately ended up with Emma Heming. Ahh, modern romance!

Sometimes Fame Can Make You Act Like An Asshole

Lance-Armstrong.jpgLance Armstrong has been no stranger to controversy since divorcing his first wife in order embrace fame and play around with celebrity nookie. First was his fling with songbird Sheryl Crow, followed by a tussle with Kate Hudson, as well as a variety of hook-ups in between. He's had numerous run-ins with physical pain as well - most recently breaking his collarbone during a bid to win what would have been his eighth Tour de France. That would be enough to put anyone in a bad mood, but Lance was extra cranky on a recent flight en route from Madrid to Atlanta. Pain killers and alcohol are never a good idea but combine that with a painful injury and a long flight and you've got trouble! An eyewitness on the plane said Armstrong acted like an "asshole" and was very "obnoxious" before passing out in first class. Too bad Lance dumped Kate - she would have loved to baby him through this one!

kim-kardashian-complex-mag.jpgHere's a little game: see if you can spot five differences between Kim Kardashian in "real life" on the left and "retouched" Kim on the right! Somehow side-by-side 'before and after' photos of the sexy Kardashian sis have been leaked - and of course all us gossip whores are having a field day! Kim always keeps it klassy - at least she's happy to own up when kontroversy hits. She says of the "before" photo from her Complex Magazine shoot, "I'm proud of my body and my curves and this picture coming out is probably helpful for everyone to see that just because I'm on the cover of a magazine doesn't mean I'm perfect." You know what? I agree. You know what else? She might even be konfident enough to have agreed to the leak to help sales. I personally had never heard of Complex Magazine before today - and I'll bet you hadn't either!

Angelina Steals From Jennifer, Again

angelina-jolie-daniel-craig-tomb-raider.jpgThat "break" to focus on her kids is never gonna happen, folks! Despite previous claims that acting is a distant fourth in her life, Angelina Jolie continues to pile on the roles. She's currently filming the action/spy flick, Salt and now casting rumors have surfaced that she and Daniel Craig may reunite on the big screen again, as well. Craig and Jolie co-starred in Tomb Raider and almost ended up together for Daniel's first run at Bond in Casino Royale. Pregnancy held her back from accepting the role of Vesper Lynd, but she might be free to take the reigns as Bond's love interest in the next installment of the reinvigorated 007 franchise. If this is true, that would immediately waylay plans for both Freida Pinto and Jennifer Aniston - the beautiful ladies have each expressed a desire for the coveted role. Another thing Jolie might get over Aniston? Just what Jen needs!

Jamaica is next up for exploration and you can bet that rum is on the menu. My surefire favorite moment is Bridget's recreation of the iconic Honey Ryder from the classic James Bond 007 flick, Dr. No. Anything that puts my favorite cutie in the company of Ursala Andress and Halle Berry sounds good to me.  Click here for a sneak peek of Bridget in Jamaica!

Thumbnail image for paris-doug-vegas.jpgI received word from a little birdie (i.e. a P.R. company) that Paris Hilton and "actor" Doug Reinhardt are doing their "first ever event together" this coming Friday in New Jersey at nightclub, Bliss. Wasn't their "first ever event together" in her bed? And their "first public appearances" included all of her excruciatingly extended birthday celebrations? Yet somehow this gig in New Jersey is supposed to mark something special. Amongst their rigorous duties? "Hosting the club" for two whole hours while being sponsored by Belvedere Vodka. How much is that worth? What exactly is special about this? I'm so confused. At least these two will probably show up, unlike LaLohan and Samantha Wrong Song.

They remained friendly for the sake of their two children, but things finally transitioned from 'chummy' to 'back in love' after the couple continued to spend time together. I hope it works out for them! Maybe Tea can invest in some wigs, giving David a new look while still remaining the same lady...

While the status of her virginity is on the other spectrum from the Jonas Brother end of things, I still like to picture her as pure as the driven snow. Sean would taint my Audrey Hepburn-esque princess, and that can't happen. Let's hope this one is far from true! Penn is still married to saint-in-waiting, Robin Wright Penn, and has allegedly fooled around with Lindsay Lohan.

Will They Sneak The Child In Their Luggage?

gisele-tom.jpgTom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are holding a second ceremony in Costa Rica on April 3 to celebrate their recent wedding. The first took place outside of L.A., in Bridget Moynahan's  church (Tom's ex), for a very small group of family and friends. Tom's young son was in attendance, by a sleight of hand on the part of the couple. (Brady didn't want to wed without his son there, and also didn't want to tip off Bridget to the proceedings, so he had the child dropped off like it was any other day and then brought him along.) Let's hope Bridget doesn't have any precious memories of Costa Rica. Tom and Gisele have already ruined God for her - I hope they don't take away the beach too! John (Tom and Bridget's son) is only a toddler. Perhaps he'll end up rolled in Gisele's Victoria's Secret lingerie, stuffed in her bag for the trip and then forced to watch his father be a selfish prick, again.

There's been a spate of handsome older men deciding to get hitched - starting with Bruce Willis and working up to longtime hold-out, David Letterman. Next on the list is Harrison Ford, who recently got engaged to Calista Flockhart. Letterman wed girlfriend/ baby momma Regina Lasko. The two have been together since 1986 (!) and have a 5 year-old son, Henry, together. I'm not sure what prompted David to change his mind (it's so weird, we used to be so close. I can't believe he didn't call me!) - but it's mighty sweet. Congrats to the happy family!

Jenna Zine
Thumbnail image for Jen-John-beach.jpgWondering why Jennifer Aniston officially dumped John Mayer - aside from the obvious? Because he Twitters too much! Jen was allegedly frustrated that John found time to Tweet his every thought, but made very little effort to communicate with her. What about He's Just Not That Into You did she not get? Sounds like another swirl of rumors, but the innocuous story does nothing to alleviate her "desperate" reputation. On the other hand, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher might be the real deal as both share a vapid rabid interest in the microblogging social network. Jen - please try dating someone outside of the entertainment industry! You might have a little more luck with a man who is not looking at the camera all the time...

Jenna Zine
Julia-Roberts-pregnant.jpgSometimes it pays to be right. I didn't want to see Julia Roberts in another film - and it turns out not much of the public did either. Her new film, Duplicity, with Clive Owen opened to disappointing numbers at the box-office, leading industry insiders to wonder if the lady has lost her golden touch. The movie opened third in a fairly non-competitive weekend to the tune of $14.4 million. I know that sounds like a lot of money, but Hollywood plays with different numbers! Paul Rudd and Jason Segal's bromantic comedy, I Love You Man, came in second and Nicholas Cage took a surprise sweep with the thriller, Knowing. When Nick Cage can pull in $10 million more over Julia in the span of two days - while sporting a bad toupee and no boobs - it's probably time to pack it in. You can bet that Katherine Heigl, Julia Roberts rumored heir to the romantic comedy throne, is salivating in the wings.

A-Roid.JPGIt just keeps getting more scandalous when it comes to Alex Rodriguez - the baseballer has a lot of secrets and they continue to keep coming out! Along with his rumored affair with Madonna and the leak on his early career steroid use comes the revelation that the sports superstar also had a longtime connection with a NYC madame! A-Roid try to pick up on a pretty lady at a gym, got shot down but did get her number. Turns out her business card was the gateway to high-paid prostitutes - a service Alex happily used numerous times over the years. Remember the ad Brazil MTV was running, featuring a chart of all the people Madonna has slept with over time? Looks like the number doubled, simply by getting it on with Rodriguez - and that took some doing! I'm sure Alex's ex-wife, Cynthia, must be angry - but also relieved to be away from such a jerk.

banana.gifWow! You think you've heard it all, and then something like this happens... A woman was on a recent flight yesterday from Samoa to New Zealand when she popped up to the use the restroom. While in the loo, she delivered a baby, left the newborn in the trash and went back to her seat! Who might be in trouble? The airline, Pacific Blue, for letting a woman in such an advanced state of pregnancy on a plane. Oh, that makes perfect sense! The 30 year-old lady must have had an extraordinarily quiet labor - no one was tipped off that she'd even given birth on the flight! She was already on her way to board another plane when she was apprehended and questioned. Somehow, authorities are considering not filing charges - which is sheer insanity, if that is true. That person needs some serious jail time combined with counseling, pronto!

Demi & Ashton Can't Resist Tweeting On Bruce's Wedding Day

demi-moores-butt.pngHow do you draw attention to yourself the day your famous ex gets married? Have your young husband take a photo of you in your undies and then Twitter about it, of course! Ashton Kutcher "snuck" a photo of wife Demi Moore wearing some large cotton panties and then "secretly" posted it on his site. Demi, no dummy herself, took to scolding Ashton on her Twitter account and then put up a link to the pic! Coincidence? How prophetic that Stephen Colbert would coin "Twatted" as the past tense for Twitter! 

[Photo Credit: Demi's own panty lines! She's supposedly steaming Ashton's suit in this picture, but this seems suspect for two reasons. 1) Is the ironing board located on the floor? 2) Don't they have people to do that for them? Thanks to Meghan at Bunny With Fangs! She always catches the great Twitter gossip.]

erykah-badu.jpgErykah Badu wanted to be at SXSW badly, even though a stalker was out on her lawn. She called the cops, Twittered with fans about the situation, stood by while police pepper-sprayed and cuffed the suspect and still made it to her Austin gig! "Exhaustion" is going to sound like a pretty lame excuse in the face of those actions! Hear that, Lady Sovereign? 

Update: Remember when everyone reported that M.I.A.'s baby's name was "Ickett" and she got very offended? Well, that's all been cleared up now. Her baby's name is actually Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman. I'm glad we got that corrected!

Mark My Words

March 22, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
new-roman-times.jpgMy SXSW summary: I've talked about parties and shared some photos, now it's on to what it's really all about - the music! In the midst of all the V.I.P. revelry, I also saw some shows. Were you beginning to wonder? Once again, it's an abbreviated version of events given that the past several days have been jam-packed!

Wednesday's top show (for me) was the Decemberists. They played their new album, Hazards of Love, in it's entirety for NPR at Stubb's BBQ. Though I think the crowd would have preferred a hit-packed set-list, I'm sure we'll all look back and appreciate having been there. I may be voicing a very unpopular opinion, but I think the 'emperor has no clothes' when it comes to The Avett Brothers, the band who took the stage just before the Decemberists. I drank liberally (Lonestar in a can!) and took advantage of the short line to the bathroom during this set. I tried to top off my evening with frozen margaritas at the Iron Cactus, but was foiled - something that would continue for the rest of my trip. 

Thursday's End of the Road Festival in the afternoon was a treat. Here's a 'mark my words' moment: both The Young Republic and Alela Diane will be huge! The Young Republic are a blend of The Commitments and The Pogues with a modern dash of Arcade Fire. Superb! There are no words for the young, beautiful and talented Alela Diane. Well, I did just find three! She could be the next Gillian Welch/Norah Jones. We were treated to a Grammy/NARAS party at the Four Seasons afterwards - lovely! It was a thrill to be a part of the event. We wrapped up our evening in the park with a huge M. Ward show. Always a pleasure to see Matt and his talented band. It's weird to see your friends on a Jumbo-tron style T.V. screen, but it's so cool to know they're experiencing a great measure of success. 

Friday was a very special day personally, as I helped out with the first ever Tape Op Magazine party at SXSW! Laura put an incredible amount of work into the event and the folks at Donn's Depot were so sweet and helpful. It was as fun as it was star-studded! Though she didn't perform, the gorgeous Rebecca Gates was amongst the talent at the bash - someone whose music you simply must seek out. Congrats, Tape Op! We took so long wrapping up our own party that we missed a lot of shows, but it was worth it. Secret treat at the end of the evening? Karaoke at Ego's! 

And finally, Saturday! More bands to look out for: Two Sheds, New Roman Times, The Petrol Motion, Juliette & The New Romantiques. Two Sheds music is a hypnotic singer-songwriter blend with an edge. New Roman Times (featuring Harris Thurmond, formerly of Hammerbox and my favorite lady with the best rock name ever, Josie Fluri) are a must. Their energetic show was the burst I needed. I heart Juliette Lewis and her new band! I got a chance to see them briefly and was worth it. Who I don't love? Rachel Ray who turned me away from her party - not personally, granted, but it stung all the same. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, Rachel. Get ready!

Thanks to all the dear friends and industry folks who made the past week such an incredible experience. Also, I'd like to issue a public apology to Jason Lytle. He knows why.

[Band photo of The New Roman Times by Casey Woods. They are one of my fave raves from the festival. Band members are Daniel Owens, Mike Allen, Harris Thurmond and Josie Fluri]

OMG - I Was Totally There!

shaved-head-band.JPGThere's probably no way to avoid sounding like an asshole while blogging about my experience last night - so I'm just gonna let it rip! I've been privy to a lot of V.I.P. events in my life, but Saturday evening was definitely a highlight. A very generous friend took me as his plus one to the party I never thought I'd see - Perez Hilton's One Night In Austin showcase and it was incredible. I can assure you, for those skeptics that think he might be exaggerating on his blog, he is doing some serious truth telling. The party was held in a former Safeway grocery store - sounds odd, but it had a kitschy rave feel and it was one of the few places that would suffice capacity-wise. Thunderheist, one of the many bands Perez touts, is as cool as promised. Same with Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, an adorable Seattle-based band that I like to call 'baby Scissor Sisters.' They totally blew me away. Even Solange (yep, Beyonce's rarely seen little sis) was impressive. SXSW was rife with crazy events, but this one topped my list this year. Read more about it here.

bruce-willis-emma-heming.jpgLeading in the 'keeping it even' category is action star, Bruce Willis. Bruce recently wed his 30 year-old super model girlfriend, Emma Heming. Willis is almost as famous for his long-time marriage to Demi Moore and their subsequently cozy post-divorce friendship as he is for his various films. Demi, of course, is wed to the much younger Ashton Kutcher. Either Bruce didn't want to be left out, or he wanted to make sure his three daughters weren't confused by either parent moving on with someone more age appropriate. Ashton and Emma probably have more to talk about, but no worries - they'll have plenty of time to bond during the numerous blended family vacations! Congrats to Bruce and Emma.

I can't wait to see the (eventual) photos of this blessed event. I know it sounds like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm actually not - for once! I wish Calista nothing but happiness and, though it took awhile, I've finally forgiven her for unleashing Alley McBeal on the world. I'm just full of love today!

Did I Miss Something?

March 21, 2009 by

tara-reid.jpgI know I've been a little out of touch this week with the distraction of SXSW, but I hadn't heard that our devastating depression/recession was over. That's the only way I can explain the frivolous throwing around of cash to hire every frickin' previously unemployed Z-list actress available. Tara Reid, Lindsay Lohan, Rumor Willis, Audrina Patridge and Mischa Barton have all recently secured jobs! Sounds like there was either a free-for-all in Hollywood, or Congress released some bailout money for the cause. Recently rehabbed Tara will star in a horror film called The Fields. The writer/producer of the flick was quoted as saying, "We hope this will make Tara relevant again." Oh, I'm sure she's hoping for that as well! In other horror movie news, Audrina Patridge (The Hills) and Rumor Willis (of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis' private parts) will costar in the upcoming film,  Sorority Row. Click here to watch the preview. It looks to be a mixture of Scream and Jawbreaker, but less funny. This might actually make some money. Meanwhile, Mischa Barton has joined the cast of A Beautiful Life, a CW television series revolving around the lives of a group of models living together in New York. Can't we watch that via YouTube every time Kate Moss descends on the city? Finally, in the ultimate twist, Lindsay Lohan may transition from film to full-time modeling. A job, any job, would be fine with Linds. She sent out a plea to the IMG Modeling Agency via a recent Nylon Magazine interview. The agency has said they're interested in taking a meeting, if she's contractually free. If "contractually free" means "desperate," I'd say the answer is "Yes!" Ultimately all of these ladies and their antics do stimulate the (gossip) economy, so I say congratulations are in order!

Sperm To Spare?

tom_katie_suri1.jpgGenius prodigy, Suri Cruise, is reportedly asking her superstar parents for a sibling. Not only can she talk, she can vocalize her desires for a clone baby sister or brother. How precious! Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have dodged rumors of another pregnancy, but do admit they don't want Suri to suffer from "only child syndrome" - despite having older half-siblings from Tom's previous marriage to Nicole Kidman. Yeah, fuck those adopted kids! They're not tiny and cute anymore. Not sure if the newborn will be created via Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's frozen sperm or if Katie and ex-boyfriend Chris Klein will be allowed a conjugal visit (both are rumored to be possible candidates as Suri's 'real' dad) - we only know that the child will surely be as adorable as the little princess.

Is Designing Shoes The New Handbag?

Fergie-Josh-wed.jpgNewlywed Fergie is taking on a new job - overseeing a line of shoes! "Trend right shoes that move easily from day to night" - sounds fab. Are they flat with a rubber sole? Cuz that's my day to night and I don't even have kids. Whew, is it hot in here or is it just me? Fergs will also provide an option for her fashion-conscious followers that addresses the need for a more edgy look. That brand will be called "Fergie: The Pop Culture Icon." I'm gonna get a Sharpie and mark the bottom of my shoe, "Jenna: Famous Writer Bitch." I guess the new trend is 'making shit up' - by writing what you think you are on your sole (not soul) can make it come true. Try it! Meanwhile, I'm sure ladies everywhere are happy to learn that her handsome hubby, Josh Duhamel, will be left unattended.

"Source" Reveals Genius Insight

Jenna Zine
MadonnaLuz2.jpgIs noting the obvious a paid position? If so, I'd like to apply! A "source" - who was somehow alerted to a row between Madonna and Jesus Luz - has revealed that "this is not a relationship of equals." I would have never guessed! I hope you're sitting down because you're about to learn that M is also a hypocritical control-freak. Oh, the revelations! The backstory is that Madge has told (told, not requested) that Jesus not take or make cell calls in her presence, even though she takes calls anytime she wants. Jesus has barely been allowed to keep in touch with his family, which sparked kidnapping rumors in December. The first cracks in the facade? Time will tell, but it must hitting Luz pretty hard that this ride to fame is not free...

So Many Near Misses

fred_durst_y_britney_spears.jpg

With all the drama Britney Spears has had in her life, you think Fred Durst would've made the cut! The former Limp Bizkit "rocker" is still chatting about the fling he had with Brit six years ago. It must have been good! Fred fell hard for the cutie - back when she was in control of her own finances and had a full head of hair. Oh, the glory days! Though she continually denied their brief romance, he has remained steadfast in his claims that he was telling the truth. He does admit however that, "It just became a fiasco of madness." Odd, that's exactly how I describe Limp Bizkit's rise to fame and the taste of anyone who purchased the band's album at the time. Why I'm I writing about this? Did I just get tricked into giving Durst press? I did it all for the nookie, man.

Reality whore, Doug Reinhardt, of sturdy enough mind to date Paris Hilton, is thinking of proposing to the hotel heiress. I can honestly say that these two deserve each other! Reinhardt is reportedly "so taken" with Hilton that he's shopping for a ring and has even asked her father for permission. Must have been a shock to him - no one else has asked that before! I've got to wonder - will she follow through? There's no way he can ever match her vast fortune. Will he have to borrow from her in order to buy a diamond? Or is she so desperate that she'll front him infinite amounts of cash in exchange for constant man candy? Oh, the drama!

Broadway Lights Dimmed For Natasha

March 20, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
Liam-Neeson.jpgLiam Neeson, Vanessa Redgrave, Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker sat together as the famous lights of Broadway went dark for a full minute in honor of suddenly departed beauty, Natasha Richardson. Though Natasha starred in films, she is best known for her work on the stage. The cause of her death has been released as a "blunt impact to the head" which caused the subsequent bleeding in her brain. I'm not sure if her passing could have been prevented, but it was sad to learn that an ambulance was rushed to the scene after her fall, but turned away when the crew was told the victim "felt fine." A very heartbreaking thing all around. I'm glad Liam and Vanessa had good friends to support them through the tribute. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

T.R. walked away from the accident, while two other people involved went to the hospital. Knight was not the cause of the crunch - fault has been assigned to an oncoming vehicle going the wrong way. Glad to hear the outcome wasn't worse for everyone involved! Now can I joke about the evil that is Katherine Heigl? Being that girl's main gay doesn't always pay! She'll dump you like yesterday's lunch once you both exit that "hit" show. She's a movie star, in case you didn't know...

Dane Cook's Lawsuit: Even Less Funny Than The "Comic"

March 20, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
Dane_Cook.JPGIt's difficult enough sussing out who to trust in Hollywood, but you don't expect to be betrayed by a family member. Yet that's exactly what happened to Dane Cook when he agreed to hire his half brother, Darryl McCauley, as his personal business manager. Though Darryl was well paid, raking in over $12,000 a month, he still saw fit to rob Dane blind - including writing a $3 million check made out to himself from Cook's account. I do have to pause here to question the obvious - Dane Cook makes that kind of money? Dang. I feel foolish. I could have done completely unfunny, unoriginal stand-up comedy and apparently made millions - but it looks like the market is already cornered. Guess I'll just have to wait for my own "pet rock" idea. Anyways, despite the evidence at hand, Darryl has denied any wrongdoing. He is currently charged with eight counts of larceny over $250, forgery, and larceny by continuous scheme. Though I think Dane is a subpar comic, he does seem like a nice guy. No one deserves this kind of family drama! I hope justice falls on his side.

I'm So Disappointed

March 20, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
Thumbnail image for rihanna-tattoo.jpgThe whole Chris Brown/Rihanna situation has been very depressing from the get-go, but the longer it goes on the worse it seems to get. What is bumming me out of late about the travesty? The fact that Rihanna has apparently taken Brown back. The situation not only resonates poorly for her, it's dangerously reverberating through our nation's teens. Rihanna experienced an act of extreme violence and abuse at the hands of someone who was supposed to love her. The world waited for her to make a statement - mainly one that included Chris being kicked to the curb and thrown in jail. Instead she's doing everything she can to help him, which is a very sad thing to watch. I know she's young, she thinks she's in love and she might not be prepared to become a lifetime spokesperson for domestic violence. It's a shame on so many levels though - not only what this means for her personally, but the message it has sent to teenagers as well. The New York Times recently ran an article about the situation and the reaction from high schoolers is terrifying. Most kids interviewed believed that Rihanna somehow "deserved it" and that Chris "won't hit her like that again." This is bad news, folks. How can we fix this? I wish Rihanna had been able to walk away.

joe-simpson.jpgEwwww! Here's my opinion and it is as follows: Joe Simpson is gross! Simpson manages daughter Jessica and, while he's gotten her pretty far in the entertainment industry, she should ultimately cut the ties with her dadager. The relationship he pushed on her? The one with Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo? He'd now like that to end, thank you very much. Apparently Joe thinks Jessica is spending too much time with Tony and not leaving enough room in her schedule for her career. The career that takes her to chili cook-offs where she forgets the words to her own songs? Is that the one he's worried about? Someone needs to call 'bullshit' on this guy.

Your Long-Term Transitional Relationship Is Doomed

justin-timberlake-jessica-biel.jpgSay it isn't so! Word is that Justin Timberlake is getting bored with Jessica Biel and the two may be on the rocks sooner than they'd like us to think. I'm no fan of Justin's: I think these two are really boring and I ultimately I think he gets way hotter ass than he deserves. He always seems to suck the life out of the women he's with - they usually start out bubbly and leave wrung out. It must be his magic stick! Biel may be the  next in line to suffer under Timberlake's rule - but that means we'll get to see her bounce back, sizzling and blonde, after a little "recovery" time. Doesn't everyone know these transitional relationships don't work? Jessica thought she was safe, but Justin never had any time to bounce back from Cameron Diaz. And Cameron thought she was in the clear, but Justin as still trying to get over Britney! Justin Timberlake is still in love with Britney Spears! I've got it all figured out...

leann-eddie-seperate-stock-photos.jpgHot on the heels of Eddie Cibrian's denial that his dinner with Leann Rimes was anything but innocent, comes  footage of their date. It's not that innocent! Apparently Eddie didn't count on video from security cameras being release - why would you? - but it's gonna make a big difference in his case! After pleading "we're just friends"  to the media, as well as his wife, the former soap star has been busted. Eddie is most likely going to take more heat than Leann. Leann is the top earner in her relationship and rumors have been swirling for awhile that her hubby, Dean Shermet, may like to play both sides of the gender card. The couple were hitched when Rimes was only 19 years-old and they don't have kids. It's also said they might have an open relationship, due to Dean's preferences. Eddie, on the other hand, was in his 30's when he wed. He and his wife have been together for eight years and have two children. Someone is in big trouble at home! Click here for the video - it's a bit slow and grainy, but it does feature some smooching and finger sucking!

That is desperate! It's rumored that Heather Locklear will not be returning to the show she helped make famous the first time around - probably a wise decision if that's the company she'd be forced to keep.

He Owes Her More Than An Apology

dita-marilyn.jpgDita Von Teese, beautiful burlesque queen and ex-wife of Marilyn Manson, has recently revealed that Manson has been reaching out to her in an effort to apologize. Mea culpa and acceptance of responsibility aside, what he really owes her is payment for a full panel STD work-up after getting nasty with Evan Rachel Wood before his marriage officially ended. It's assumed that Marilyn "started things" with Evan before making a clean split from Dita. Von Teese, ever the lady, has let the nasty man unburden his conscience - but that's about all. Dita says she's now happily dating several men and only let Manson say he's sorry to allow him to better sleep at night. It's called payback - and it might even be more of a bitch than Evan!

I could not imagine being a part of Mariah's inner circle. I'll bet she doesn't even know when her friend's birthdays fall - nothing exists outside of her! The upcoming repeat nuptials sound like another excuse to garner attention, squeeze into a gown and spend her millions. Sigh.

Some students believe the college is pandering to his fame and feel he hasn't done much to earn the honor. They've even started a Facebook page about their dissatisfaction! The students acknowledge that James is a talented actor and he's clearly smart enough to have gotten accepted at Columbia, where he currently attends school. While they are not attacking Franco himself, they feel they deserve better than to have a peer, albeit a famous one, address them at graduation. You may have played an adorable stoner in last year's summer blockbuster, Pineapple Express, but that doesn't mean they love ya!

Arun Nayar, a wealthy business man, fell hard for Elizabeth, leaving his wife at the time for the trashy actress. Elizabeth first caught the public's eye as the buxom date on the arm of long-time love Hugh Grant at the premiere of his breakthrough flick, Four Weddings and a Funeral. She quickly climbed the ranks of Hollywood, memorably starring in the first of the Austin Powers films. She briefly won sympathy from the world when Hugh was busted for soliciting a blow job from a hooker. Their relationship never recovered from the indiscretion. She went on to date a series of high-profile wealthy men, including birthing a son with one of the top earners. Now Skanky Pants is on the loose again - though she's gonna have to work double-time to nab another man with her faded charms. Unless Hugh is still interested, in which case she's in luck!

I'm just pulling a line of "reporting" from my good friends at Star Magazine. This week, Star is claiming that Reese Witherspoon has finally agreed to marry Jake Gyllenhaal after his third attempt on bended knee. The two plan to wed sooner than later - preferably in the mellow confines of her backyard complete with a Southern barbeque menu. It's that last little tidbit, offered by an "insider", that makes me doubt the validity of this item - but only time will tell who is correct! Reese was recently part of a photo shoot for Avon, where the engagement rumor was sparked over the sighting of a large sparkler on her hand, and Witherspoon's move to slip the ring in her bag...

Christina is glowing, which is wonderful to see. The actress, who started appearing in films at the age of ten, has struggled with body image issues since her early teens. She even experimented with cutting/self mutilation after her parent's divorce coincided with Ricci's issues of self consciousness over her body development. Unconditional love always goes a long way towards healing old wounds. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Two Playboy Bunnies is never a bad thing! It's easy to get distracted by all the bikini action, but there's a lot more going on than bouncing boobs! Okay, I won't lie - there is some frolicking in the water. But Bridget makes sure to go out of her way to show her viewers a good time. This week Bridge gets covered in healing mud, takes a crazy dive cliffside, finds some out-of-the-way bars and survives stepping on a sea urchin! I hope you get a chance to tune in... it's on tomorrow night (Thursday), FYI. xo

US Weekly has broken the story of married LeAnn Rimes and hot married with children co-star Eddie Cibrian getting frisky on the set of a Lifetime movie. That's almost too perfect! Didn't Tori Spelling steal herself a new husband the same way? It's every little girl's dream to follow in the footsteps of a Spelling. Nothing but class. Of course they both have denied the affair, but US has photos of them smooching in a restaurant so it seems the jig is up. Note to those having affairs: Don't go out in public if you don't want people to learn of your indiscretions!

Rappers 50 Cent and Rick Ross have been verbally sparring for awhile, but 50 Cent recently took their fight waaaay over the top. He's chosen to release a sex tape featuring himself having sexual intercourse with Rick Ross' wife, who is also the mother of his children! Well, on an up note, there's a new sex tape on the market that doesn't feature Paris Hilton. Man, this is a dirty deed! It's so disrespectful, which was obviously the point, but that's pretty much the lowest move I've heard of in awhile.

It was assumed that John broke up with Jen, after getting a free ride to the Oscars. Now Jen and her camp are letting everyone know it was actually Aniston who did the "dumping." I guess the distinction is very important but either way, Mayer remains a douche. You can't change your stripes! I was just, inexplicably, lamenting to my boyfriend that I wished John had been Jen's transitional guy and Vince Vaughn turned out to be her true love. I know! Say what you will about Vince, but he really did seem honestly crazy about Jen. She deserves that, in my book!

In other, completely unsurprising, news - Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are back together. Who didn't see that coming?

Part of the celebration? A private performance by Sheryl Crow at the House of Blues. You got all that cash and you booked Crow? Ya'll get ripped off! Thanks to TMZ however, the public did not. The intrepid reporters recently caught up with Sheryl who exclaimed, "No one really gives a shit about TMZ." I do believe it's the other way around! Click here to watch Crow get bitchy. You fucked up Sheryl and you have no more room to pass the buck than Northern Trust.

khristine-annas-dr.jpgAnna Nicole Smith's doctor/psychologist, Khristine Eroshevich, has finally turned herself in to the police. Eroshevich was booked for conspiring to over-prescribe medications to the deceased star. She's thought to have been in cahoots with Howard Stern and Anna's other prescribing doctor, Sandeep Kapoor. Khristine was relesed on $20,000 bail.

A Shout Out To The Newlyweds!

Ryan-Adams-Mandy-Moore-Fake-Book-cvr.jpgRyan Adams strikes me as the type of self-absorbed guy who believes it's all about him. It's all Ryan, all the time, in Ryan's world. Mandy Moore, the hot woman he recently wed, is sweet and somehow must suffer from low self-esteem because she's now married to Ryan. All of this leads me to believe that Adams would tout a trip to Austin as a fun, funky honeymoon destination while taking the opportunity to promote his career - culminating in a run-in with me at SXSW where I can kick that little fucker in the shins. Congratulations you crazy kids! At least you have a hot wife to kiss your soon to be bruised knees.

Madonna Adoption - Redundant?

madonna_jesus_luz.jpgMadonna is considering adopting again. Why doesn't she save herself a few bucks and continue to date young men instead? Adopting a child requires 18+ years of time, money, commitment and unconditional love whereas dating younger dudes requires some lingerie, Botox and the freedom to bail whenever the hell you want!

No Court For Lindsay?

lindsay-lohan-with-alcohol-monitor.jpgLindsay Lohan may not have to face a judge after all, if her lawyer gets his way. They are calling a "paparazzi defense" into play, citing that they paps have made it impossible for her to attend her alcohol education classes. Missing the classes is apparently the only reason behind the warrant being issued, so the epic proportion of this current drama has been overblown. But it's LaLohan we're talking about here, so how could it not? Note to Lindsay: it is difficult to avoid the paparazzi, but it makes it a lot easier if you don't call to let them know where you are at all times!

Justin Gaston has remained (mostly) mum while in the presence of Ms. Entitled, but yesterday TMZ caught several fans requesting camera time with the hunk while leaving Miley on the sidelines. Wanna guess how she reacted? I'll give you a hint - she didn't like it! Justin got scolded and slapped on the arm while making his way back to her car. Oh, heck yeah. Click here for the hilarious video!

Michael-Jackson-Impersonator.jpgAn amazing website recently came to my attention and it is worth a look! The entire site is dedicated to celebrity lookalikes for hire and, as you may expect, some are hilarious, a few are great and some are just downright awful. Perhaps this explains the Michael Jackson impersonator at the recent London press conference? By the way, no calls for strippers please! This business is on the up and up, people. Click here for photos and be sure to scroll all the way to the end. I feel horrible for Jennifer Aniston - I think her lookalike might be a man. Enjoy!

Will There Be Crack At The BBQ?

March 16, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
rachael_ray.jpgI'm beginning my journey to Austin, Texas today for the SXSW music festival! Woo-hoo! It's difficult to say what bands I'll be seeing, but I do know there will be lots of my favorite things: tequila, BBQ, music and celebrity stalking sightings. High on my list? The quest to ridicule Rachel Ray in person! Oh yeah, it is on. I received an invitation to the afternoon party she's hosting in order to showcase her lawyer hubby's band - and I have every intention of being present. Click here to review the line-up of bands, as well as food and drink. Notably absent from the menu? Dunkin' Donuts! My favorite celebrity chef, hands down, is Anthony Bourdain (with Gordon Ramsey as an extremely close second). I love him for many reasons - at the top of my list is his fearless commitment to speak his mind. There's no love lost on his end towards Rachel Ray. He openly criticized her affiliation with the fast food donut chain saying, "It's evil! It's like endorsing crack for kids." I'm on it Tony - I'm ready to taunt her in your name! It would make a lot more sense if Bourdain, an actual music fan, were attending the conference - instead I'll have to make due with a bad margarita and the New York Dolls under the blazing Austin sun. Stay tuned for results of the Rachel rumble!

hefner-wedding-people-mag-cvr.jpgIf you have $28 million floating around, you can buy your way within throwing distance of the Playboy Mansion! Is an eyeful of the Grotto worth that kind of cash and does it come with a lifetime of invites to all those great parties? Hugh and Kimberly Hefner have put Kim's house up for sale and there's no doubt that either one of them are very happy about it. Though the couple split up ages ago, the two never divorced and Kim has continued to live in very close proximity to the Mansion ever since. Now with the kids off to school, Hugh is looking to downsize Kimberly's living space. That might have a ring of truth to it, but the real reason more likely has to do with the looming financial troubles rather than a sudden urge to kick Kim out of her posh pad. Click here to see photos of the "home" for sale. I hope somebody friendly to the Playboy cause snaps up the place - it's mighty tight property line!

Joaquin, Is That You?

michael-jackson-impostor.jpgWith Joaquin Phoenix's bizarre behavior of late, nothing would surprise me! Michael Jackson made a very interesting appearance at a London press conference yesterday. Not news? How about the fact that it looks like an impostor may have filled in for Jacko! Perhaps Michael was busy helping Phoenix with his rap career and simply couldn't be in two places at once. That theory makes as much sense as any, at this point. Click here for footage. You can also read about details the problems this situation may pose for the King of Pop (i.e. if it wasn't Jackson, he may have trouble getting his tour insured in the near future). The YouTube clip is so weird - it doesn't even sound like the normally shy MJ. I didn't really care one way or the other about the upcoming concert, but this has definitely caught my attention. What do you think? Did Michael actually show up, or was it some bastard's five minutes in the spotlight?

Steve Martin Gets Involved With High School Thespians

March 15, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
Steve_Martin.jpgI've always admired Steve Martin, but this puts him over the top... The iconic comedian/writer penned a play in 1993, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, a work that has since been performed around the world. The story focuses on a meeting between Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso at a bar in Paris, where the two debate the merits of genius and science. Sounds pretty cool, right? Well a high school theater class in La Grande, Oregon planned to perform the work - but the show was cancelled due to an outpouring of letters from concerned parents over the subject matter! Wow, what century is this again? There are a lot worse things teenagers could focus on, even in Oregon! Somehow word reached Martin that the play was about to be banned - he took matters into his own hands and is now funding an off-site location for the performance. He says he "did not want the play acquiring a reputation it does not deserve" which drove his desire to personally fund the student endeavor. Now that's putting your money where your mouth is, while simultaneously taking as stance against censorship. Talk about setting a positive example! Any leftover funds from Martin's generous contribution will go towards funding acting scholarships for the students.

americas_next_top_model.jpgHas Tyra Banks changed her name to Jerry Springer? Because that's an explanation that would actually make sense... A full-on stampede broke out amongst a new crop of America's Next Top Model hopefuls - and it got crazy! Somehow there were also two men in line. They started an altercation with one another, causing frayed nerves to break in the already wound-up crowd. The situation between the men continued to escalate, climaxing in the threat of gun fire! Right around that time a smoking car happened to drive by the cattle call, someone yelled, "Bomb!" and complete chaos ensued from there. Of course, this being New York, someone was across the way in a tall building and he/she managed to capture the entire incident on a cell phone. Click here for the craziness! While it sounds like a bad Springer episode, it could have been a lot scarier. Luckily only 6 people were hurt (when you see how many people were in the throng, you'll know this was a very small number) and the injuries were not serious. The try-outs were immediately closed down. Three women within the crowd were charged for inciting the riot. Perhaps the incident will cause Tyra to consider switching up the the theme this year. One of the competitions could include "How To Look Fierce In A Mug Shot" with the winner receiving a make-over by prison guard Bertha!

I've Got A Few Words For Metallica!

Jenna Zine
metallica-cartoon.jpgNot really, though I wouldn't pass up the chance to utter the word "asshole" while in the presence of either Lars Ulrich or James Hetfield! The reason I write is due to the knowledge I just stumbled across:  Metallica will be a playing a "secret" show next Friday at Stubb's BBQ in Austin, Texas for SXSW. I assume the Guitar Hero showcase, featuring Metallica, will not be hosted by Napster? I wouldn't want to see Lars Ulrich get his undies in a bunch before taking the drum throne. Oh, the thrill of it all! I'm gonna be in Austin for the famed music conference/festival, though I have no intention of seeing the "we hired the worst, most unethical, therapist ever and chose to shoot a documentary about it" crybaby band. I will, however, be posting about a ton of music and (hopefully) celebrity sightings! Rachel Ray and Perez Hilton in the same vicinity? It could get cattier that a night out with Lindsay and Samantha! Either way, it's sure to be drama fueled - lots of tequila combined with saucy meat always brings out the best in people.

Boo-fuckin'-hoo

watchmen-vintage.jpgIt's pretty lame when you have to resort to this... Watchmen honchos have taken to begging hardcore fans to see the recently released film again, and again, if possible. While the flick managed to rake in a decent amount at the box office on opening weekend, it's still falling way short of projections having netted "only" $92 million so far - and the budget still has yet to be met. One of the screenwriters, David Hayter, warns that, "... if it drops off the radar after the first weekend, they will never allow a film like this to be made again." Wow, that would be something! A film that unapologetically beats the shit out of women at every turn, never to be made again? Bring it on.

lindsay-lohan_5.jpgYou can be damn sure the paparazzi are going to surround Lindsay Lohan and her homestead like she's in the frickin' zoo until she turns herself over to the police. This is hot news, people! Howard Stern must be grateful for the momentary diversion. The updates are flooding in by the second, but here's the latest: Lindsay and Sam are holed up in LaLohan's home, they're having a terrible row, Lindsay threw something and shattered a window, the police have knocked on the door and neither girl will answer, the police say they are not there to arrest her but they are taking the time to issue parking tickets to the throngs of reporters and photographers. Did you catch all of that? Sheer chaos!

Six Degrees of Intimate Separation!

March 14, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
rodman-madonna.jpgMTV Brazil is running a pretty kick-ass ad breaking down who's slept with who - literally a diagram of celebrity booty - as a public service announcement on safe sex. The approach is so fresh and bold - though it probably won't appear in the states, it's causing quite a stir elsewhere. The thrust of the ad, of course, is to point out that you're not only sleeping with your partner - you are also technically fucking everyone else they've been with prior to you. That's why condoms are so important! Would Madonna be such a hot ticket item to Jesus Luz if he knew she'd also been with Vanilla Ice and Dennis Rodman? Is he even old enough to have been made aware of either of those characters? Either way, the information is enough to cool the ardor of almost anyone! Click here for the lowdown!

Are you ready for a good belly laugh? A man recently came home from a flight, opened his luggage and found a snake in his bag! He immediately stepped back and phoned 911. Rescuers came to the scene, determined the snake was made of rubber, handed it to the man and left. Moral of the story? Make sure the snake is real before calling emergency services! Perhaps it was a prop leftover from Snakes On A Plane. The man says he has no idea how the toy made it's way into his suitcase. Is this the kind of "service" we pay for these days with air travel? The staff will make your life hell, but it will be fun too!

I'm sure Jason helped put a stop to the talk, as he wants to be seen as a professional and has put in four years of hard work - not only with Britney, but her family and staff as well. I hope Brit has a good (or several good) vibrators - she's not getting away from her dad's rule anytime soon!

Thumbnail image for ticked-lindsay.jpgEverybody keep your eyes peeled - there's a warrant out for Lindsay's arrest, and she has yet to turn herself in to police! Sounds like LaLohan is being sought by the Beverly Hills Police Department for failure to adhere to terms set by her parol officer from the D.U.I./hit-and-run incident from 2007. This could mean anything from failure to meet with the officer to possibly refusing, or failing, a drug test. Interesting! I totally forgot she was on parole - but I have a feeling that's all were going to remember for the next several days...

Mrs. Moder has been on an extended hiatus, due to the arduous task of popping out some kids with that guy she stole from a sweet little make-up assistant all those years ago. You'd think no one had ever given birth before Julia. Now she's slithering her way back in the limelight, acting like she's the second coming of God. What's she proud of these days, besides her big yap? "To make a movie as the mother of three children under 3? That's an accomplishment I'm proud of." And without a single scrap of help, I'm sure? All on your very lonesome without even one well-paid nanny? The sun powers its energy off the warmness and generosity of your heart, you hard-working woman! Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll take another break after sucking the lifeblood out of whipping boy, Clive Owen.

A D.U.I. Has Never Looked So Darn Pretty

March 13, 2009 by
Jenna Zine
miss-may-mugshot.jpgPerhaps Miss May would have come and gone without much notice, but now she's done the whole 'lots of liquor in the system while choosing to operate a motor vehicle' - a move that's most likely upped her chances of becoming a tabloid favorite, however brief. I think a D.U.I. is tantamount to flashing your cooter. Obviously the former is a lot more serious than the latter. Flashing your lady-bits is less likely to kill someone. Unless you're Paris Hilton - in which case there is a fair amount of danger. Crystal McCahill, Playboy's May Centerfold, was getting off work from a nightclub called Climax. She had a few post-shift shots before deciding to drive home. I assume she'd changed from her Climax uniform, unless it's a club where farm boys go to get off. Anyways, she was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving after blowing through a stoplight. And here we are - a girl who looks better loaded in a mugshot than I did at my senior prom. Her blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit. Everyone involved is lucky there wasn't a more serious ending to this story. Don't ever drink and drive, please!

freida-pinto-beach.gifThe future Daniel Craig helmed Bond flick is gearing up - and the next onscreen love interest for 007 may be none other than Slumdog Millionaire princess, Freida Pinto. The stunning beauty has captured everyone's attention ever since her turn in the multi Academy Award winning film. Rumor also has it that Slumdog director Danny Boyle may also head the next installment, substantially increasing the possibility of casting Pinto. Freida was recently asked to come in for a screen test - a promising sign, for sure. The actress will also star in Woody Allen's next flick, replacing Scarlett Johansson as Allen's muse. Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston continues her bummer week. It seems confirmed now that she and John Mayer have broken up again - and Mayer, ever the classy guy, is making sure to secretly let the press know that he did the dumping. Aniston famously mused in a recent Elle Magazine article that she'd love to play a Bond girl. Better luck next time, kitten.

rihanna-cover-girl-ad.jpgUpset that Rihanna has reunited with alleged abuser Chris Brown? You're not alone! Cometic giants Revlon have hired a company to secretly poll consumers to see if Rihanna's poor decision has affected her deal with Cover Girl - i.e. are women disappointed enough with the events that they're turning away from purchasing CG make-up? The survey and subsequent results, which weren't supposed to be leaked in the first place, will most likely remain under wraps but the fact that Revlon bothered to nose around at all is pretty telling... It's obvious if Rihanna continues to support Brown (it's been noted that she wants the court to go easy on him) that her endorsement future could very well be in jeopardy.

Jamie Kennedy's Experiment

On the not so breaking news front, Jamie Kennedy is dating co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt. Were you sitting down? Sorry, I should have warned you! The two work together on The Ghost Whisperer. I didn't know that, nor did I really care to - but reportedly they've been seen snuggling on the set ever since Hewitt's split from former fiance, Ross McCall. Kennedy even went as far as to confirm the duo are dating, on-air, to Ryan Seacrest. Ryan can't secure face-time with Angelina Jolie on the red carpet anymore, but he can lure poorly kept secrets from D-list actors. Way to go! Jamie revealed to Ryan that, "here's somebody that breathes life into you in a new way and makes you fuller and that's what she does to me." It's almost like her vagina whispered "come here" to his penis. Beautiful!
