Memoir Wars - Part One

rolling-stones-black-white-4-square-creative-commons-wikipedia.jpegFirst Sir Mick Jagger was ticked at Keith Richards for his soon-to-be released memoirs; now it's Jude Law who's furious with ex-wife Sadie Frost for her up-and-coming tell-all. What do these juicy stories have in common? Pointless feuds that are blocking the public's access to readily available dirt. Boo. Details, via Daily Mail

[It is being billed as the ultimate tale of rock n' roll excess, a must read for every rock fan.

Everyone, that is, except for Mick Jagger. Indeed, the Rolling Stones star is said to be so unhappy about the prospect of Keith Richard's tell-all autobiography, that some have been left fearing for the future of the band.

The book, entitled Life, is not being released until October, but it is said to contain numerous revelations about Sir Mick's private life, including his affairs and drug-taking. An early draft has already been written, with The Rolling Stones management advising him to tone certain sections down in order to avoid a confrontation with his bandmate.

Jagger had also considered writing his own autobiography three years ago, but then decided against it.]

Here's why Mick is really pissed: (1.) He didn't do it first. Mick does everything first. (2.) He most assuredly paid off ex-wife Jerry Hall to curtail her memoir - the one she was writing that conveniently never came out after he hushed her with millions they made their peace. Mick's not only the world's oldest living rock star; he's also a world renowned business man. What's the point of Jerry's (alleged) big payout, if Keith's going to dish the dirt anyway? What's the problem, really? Not only are we talking about senior citizens, we're talking about the Rolling Stones. Can anything be revealed at this point that would shock anyone about these guys? They practically invented debauchery. Pull the stick out of your ass, Mick, and let the people have as much fun as you did.

But What I Really Want To Talk About Is iPhone-Gate

jason-bateman-jumping.jpgSure, Mel Gibson's insane racism has reached new despicable heights. Chris Brown has recently been revealed as the woman-beating fake that he's always been. But what I really want to talk about is Jason Bateman. That asshole cut in line for an iPhone, at the behest of an Apple employee. Get him! Details, via WWTDD

[Last Thursday, Jason Bateman was in line with 2,000 other people for the new iPhone when an Apple employee brought him inside the store so he could skip the line and get his first. On Twitter Bateman said the crowd was cool about it...

"There wasn't one boo. Not one hiss. The Apple guy brought me in away from the paparazzi. Period. I was content in line. I wish I'd stayed."

Well obviously it wasn't "away from the paparazzi" because you can see the pictures right here. It's not like they tunneled into the store. But was he telling the truth about the crowd? Well, no. At least not according to Us Magazine...

"It was loud, passive-aggressive anger. There was a chorus of boos and then people shouting, 'What?' and 'We've been here for hours!' We were patiently waiting before then [and] that just made everyone's blood boil."
Bateman arrived to the L.A. Apple store around 4:45 A.M., and initially waited "like everybody else." But around 10 A.M., he was escorted inside first.]

Umm, Bateman is a pretty successful guy. I'll bet that he employs an assistant to take abuse from the crowd next time. Or is that Chris Brown? I got issued some pain pills after minor surgery and now I can't keep anything straight around here today. I feel so Lohan-esque! Meanwhile, given the company that Jason is keeping in this post, can't we give him a pass? The dude got there at 4:45 AM with every intent of waiting. It's not like he strolled to the front of the line at 10 AM without bothering to wait at all. Most celebrities would have demanded special treatment and then some. He gave us Arrested Development - can't we give him a little forgiveness?

Bells Will Be Ringing?

sandra-bullock-people-mag-fast-divorce.jpgI was happy to hear of Sandra Bullock's quick divorce. I never understood how Elin Nordergren (aka Mrs Tiger Woods) withstood the pain and humiliation for so long. Giving the marriage a chance after an affair? A slight possibility. Staying hitched after a cadre of whores have been paraded past your home? Unthinkable. Needless to say, it was heartbreaking to learn that "America's Sweetheart" had been put through a similar situation, with a Nazi twist. Wouldn't you be racing towards the nearest divorce court? Sandra did exactly that, with much support from her fans and peers. Bullock and James's divorce was finalized last week and many of us breathed a sigh of relief. So why is there a feeling of uneasiness in the air? That trepidation could be due to the fact that many believe Sandra will reunite with Jesse. The horror! Opinion, via Celebitchy

[As you can see, Sandra Bullock's "fast divorce" made the cover of this week's People Magazine. From what I can see, there's not a lot of new information here, just some stuff about how everything happened so quickly so that little Louis's adoption wouldn't get screwed up. They didn't even get an interview with Sandra, just with some "sources" who are slowly but surely building the case for Sandra and Jesse's reunion (that's what it sounds like to me).]

People Magazine is known as the celeb-friendly publication - less of a tabloid and more of a newsstand opportunity for press releases. Just ask Angelina Jolie. People doesn't pen an ill word about her and, miracle of miracles, they get her exclusives. Has Sandra entered the same deal? Here's the People blurb on her divorce: 

[Sandra Bullock and Jesse James have finalized their divorce. But that doesn't mean they have parted ways for good. Friends tell PEOPLE in this week's cover story that the exes will continue to be involved in each other's lives as co-parents of James' kids Sunny, 6, Jesse Jr., 12, and Chandler, 15. The divorce's completion also clears the way for Bullock to finalize her adoption of 6-month-old son Louis.

"It's not like they're talking every day, but they're in touch about things," a source tells PEOPLE. "It really seems like it's about the kids more than anything."

For her part, Bullock, 45, has been "chilling out" in New Orleans and Austin with Louis. And James, 41, has made it clear that he plans to move to Austin as well. "He has a goal," says a James pal. "He wants his life back, he wants some sense of normalcy and his family back."]

We all know Jesse has a goal; he's nothing if not a goal oriented guy! But what about this article? Is the groundwork being laid for painting Jesse in a new light? I don't think there's enough new light available in the world to "whitewash" what he's done. But Bullock's got some powerful P.R. agents on her side. Is she Jolie-esque enough to change history for her own benefit or will she move on?

Lindsay Lohan Calls The Paparazzi, Heads To The Pharmacy

lindsay_lohan_rite_aid_8.jpgYou gotta love Lindsay Lohan. If LaLinds needs a little pick-me-up, she just presses "1" on her speed dial and the paparazzi (still) come running. Nothing like having a little dial-o-drama at your fingertips! Was she getting some drops to soothe her SCRAM bracelet's angry red eye? That thing sure does love to go off - just like Lindsay!

I've Found One Thing That Will Keep Megan Fox's Mouth Shut...

brian-austin-green-&-megan-fox.jpg... a secret wedding in Hawaii! That and a mouthful of pineapple shaped like peen. It was a toss up, but at the end of the day the wedding thing worked! Megan went from Ms. Mouth to Mrs. Green last week in a heavily guarded secret ceremony at the posh Four Seasons in Hawaii. Now we know why Fox really got fired from Transformers 3 - the whole "being married" thing will certainly make it more difficult for Michael Bay to talk his way into Megan's bikini bottoms. Alas, it's the end of an era. Details, via Dlisted

[14-year-old boys and middle-aged nerds who regularly get yelled at by their moms for leaving skidmarks in their underoos will be weeping into their custom made World of Warcraft bed sheets tonight, because Star Magazine is saying that prolific philosopher Megan Fox got married to Brian Austin Green in Hawaii last week. Well, at least the fanboys will always have the beautiful memories of their wedding to a Megan Fox cardboard cutout (which has the same IQ as the real Megan Fox).

Megan and BAG got engaged for a second time over a week ago in Hawaii after dating on-and-off for about 6 years. A source says that the wedding took place at the Four Seasons on the big island of Hawaii on either Thursday or Friday. The source gave a few details, "They had a fairly large wedding, but there were clearly more security people than guests! They had so many security people that they had to call in local security because the hotel security alone wouldn't do. It was very hush hush. Everyone was sworn to secrecy. The place is perfect for a Hollywood wedding. It's very romantic and scenic. Megan and Brian had already been there for a few days. It seemed like a spur of the moment thing. I don't think it had been planned long. Megan and Brian are still there at the hotel, relaxing. They're now celebrating their honeymoon."]

Well, who would have thought Beverly Hills' resident nerd would grow up to marry one of the worlds' most (surgically enhanced) beautiful women? Brian Austin Green (BAG) has game! As for Megan, if her career really is on the downslide, at least it will be nice to have some company. Congrats, you crazy kids!

[Photo Credit: Megan's not only a married woman; she's now a stepmom! Can't wait to hear what she has to say about that, because we know it'll be something entertaining.]
