Well, isn't that special! Claire Danes is set to wed fellow actor Hugh Dancy - and she now (conveniently) believes in monogamy. Claire, as you may or may not remember, was the 'other woman' who had a hand in breaking up Mary-Louise Parker's long-term relationship with baby-daddy Billy Crudup. I hope Mary-Louise is getting her best sexy ready - it's time for a little game of tit for tat! Details:
Specifically, the letter (page one, page two, page three)
says that:
(1) "Joe Simpson is not brokering or attempting to broker a
'kiss and tell.'"
(2) "Miss Simpson is not working on and has no intention of
publishing a book concerning her past romantic relationships."
(3) "Star's false assertions concerning supposed details of
Miss Simpson's intimate interactions in her prior relationships are unseemly
and scandalous."
According to the three-page letter, "Miss Simpson hereby
demands that Star immediately publish a prominent and unambiguous retraction of
the Article and that the magazine cease and desist from publishing any further
false and misleading allegations concerning Miss Simpson."]
Argh! Disappointment is running deep on this one. However, it is a relief to know that her own father isn't brokering a book about his daughter's sexual suitors. Although I bet he's kicking himself that he didn't think of the book deal first!

The relationship that was never really confirmed is rumored to be over. Britney Spears was linked to her longtime manager and friend, Jason Trawick. It seemed to be a Jamie Spears approved match, but it sadly may never come to fruition... "Jessica would get really drunk and obnoxious, it was
out of control. She would be sprawled everywhere with he head on his lap and
the look on Tony's face said it all," said an insider. "He was so
embarrassed in front of all the guys and his teammates were really harsh on him
over it. Breaking up was a really hard decision for Tony to make."
It is also said that Romo really loved Jessica and stood up
for her in front of his friends, but the situation spiraled out of control. A
pal close to Simpson claims that her drinking was never the problem, but the
numerous issues between them that caused the split. "She was devastated
and it did come as a shock, however," added the source.]
I don't know who's leaking this faulty info, but it reeks of Romo-favoritism. Tony was clearly not in love with her - it's already been indicated that he was looking for any way out of the relationship. And wasn't he cheating on her? That doesn't exactly sound like he was struggling with a decision to breakup. Hasn't he been nasty enough? I'm sure Jess can be a sloppy drunk - but in this case it's beside the fact.

I'm talking about the fruit. Miley Cyrus has landed a deal to link her image with a very unique item - cherries! Well, that's certainly an interesting promotional idea. What happened to truth in advertising though? Does that mean nothing anymore? A few details: Robert and Kristen's five-day PDA fest shocked more than
just their die-hard fans. "I saw the pictures -- getting in cabs together, going
for lunch," Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie Hale in Twilight, said to Rob during
their Alaska Airlines flight from LA to Vancouver on Aug. 10. "I thought you
were going to keep it undercover?"
Confirming his relationship with Kristen, Rob whispered for Nikki to keep her voice down. But it appears there's just no hiding the love between him and Kristen, especially now that they're reunited for the 10-week Eclipse shoot. "Rob likes interesting, smart girls," Justin Chon, who plays high school student Eric Yorkie in the Twilight saga, tells Life & Style. "I think once he finds the right girl, Rob's a real relationship kind of guy."]
Well, I'm still a little skeptical - but a fling would certainly make those long hours of filming a lot more interesting!
"Everyday you move me to be a better person. I love
you..miss u so much," Ashlee wrote Tuesday to Jessica, who has been in
Japan filming her new VH1 series, The Price of Beauty. "You are a perfect
friend and sis. Thank you."
"Les Miserables 'On My Own' -- can't sing this song
without u ever. But it's my fav!" added Ashlee. The Broadway tune includes
lyrics: "Pretending he's beside me / All alone, I walk with him till
morning."]
What's with Ashlee's double edged sword? I'm sure she means well, but there's always a little bit of unintended snark. The 'Hey, I'm thinking about you! Still walking alone!' is a bit of a knife in the heart. Maybe she's still feeling some passive-aggressive anger about playing second fiddle to Jessica all these years. Hope you're feeling better - and fuck you!
This is so crazy, I don't even know what to say. You must read this:
For whatever reason, Josh Duhamel is married to Fergie. I'm not one to question - I'm sure they're very happy. One thing that's recently surfaced is the alleged difference between their timeline for having kids. Squeaky clean Josh wants babies asap. Party girl Fergie would like to keep, keepin' on 'til the break of dawn. I recommended in my last post about the couple that Fergie get pregnant, asap. Has Jennifer Aniston not served as a cautionary tale for the ladies? Well, it sounds like Fergie has thought things through and is singing a different tune. Smart girl! Josh, 36, was ready to start a family, while Fergie, 34, continued to party. But after some soul-searching, she agreed to chill and promised Josh they could start trying for a baby after her tour ends in the fall, say sources. "Fergie turned to Josh right in the middle of the baseball game and told him she wanted a baby to make their lives complete," revealed a close friend. "She says pregnancy will be a crash course in cleaning up her act." While Fergie had always planned to have kids, she wanted to put it off for a while. Josh is thrilled by her change of heart, said the friend. "He adores Fergie, and he can't wait for her to be pregnant."]
It's time to wake up, Fergs! Vodka can't buy you love. Give Josh what he needs - before he finds it somewhere else...
"We were all surprised by their potty mouths, but it was actually pretty funny," one onlooker acknowledged. How did Britney respond to her sons' antics? Said the source: "She was too busy picking out freebies to chastise the boys for misbehaving."]
Ah, well - fuck it. "Oh, shit" goes great with Cheetos and Frappuccinos. It's what they'll be saying when they look at the scale - if they take after daddy!
Jennifer Hudson gave birth to a baby boy Monday afternoon! I can't believe she's already had her baby - her pregnancy sure flew by for me. It seems like just yesterday that I was thinking, "Why is she engaged to that dude?" Next thing I knew she was pregnant. My, how the time does pass. Jennifer probably feels quite the opposite - minutes seem to crawl when you have a little person rolling around inside your stomach. I guess it seems weird to me that a celebrity could have a fairly private (read: nearly undocumented by the media) pregnancy in this day and age. Congrats to Jennifer and her hubby, professional wrestler David Ooooooortunga!"He has been so generous and sweet, and has really impressed her with his romantic ways," a source close to Paris tells E! News. Insiders close to the couple say Paris is really happy: "She loves being treated like a princess...She can feel how deeply in love he is with her, and she's having a blast." Sounds like it. Paris twittered earlier today: "What a fantastic day! Found so many beautiful shells on the beach and the ocean was so clear and warm! I am having the time of my life!" The only trouble in paradise? Her sister, Nicky, doesn't get along with Doug. "That bothers her a lot since the sisters are so close," the source says. "But for now, she's having the time of her life."]
He rented a private island in Fiji? With what - douche dollars? Or did he filch one of Hilton's many credit cards last time they were together? I'm sure she can feel how deeply he loves her - in his pants. Do these two really believe the bullshit they spew? I still propose that no one else was sniffing around Cavern de Paris, so she did the next easiest thing and backslid. We'll see how long it lasts this time around...
[Photo Credit: Remember how lovely everything was last time they went island hopping? It was like so totally perfect.]
Lindsay Lohan recently released an interesting photo op - one she supposedly created herself. From Evil Beet:
Derek Hough (Dancing With The Stars) and American Pie's Shannon Elizabeth have broken up. Oh my, say it isn't so! How did the couple release this devastating news? Via Twitter, of course. Thank god they updated us - I was really wondering how they'd been doing. Such a high-profile match - it's amazing they were able to keep their split under wraps. Details: "We don't talk anymore," Brittany told Hollyscoop at the 5th Annual HollyShorts Film Festival Thursday night. "I thought it was hilarious to begin with," Brittany told Hollyscoop. "I'm not sure how I feel about her getting back together with him. He's that guy! Before they were together he said liked her for two year, but I don't believe that...It's a publicity stunt," she added.
Brittany became a semi celebrity overnight after being photographed on Paris' arm for a few weeks. But although their friendship was short lived, Brittany insists it was "just like hanging out with a regular friend but because it was in the public eye."
Now that she's had her 15 minutes of fame, she's able to distinguish the difference between good and bad celebrities. When asked which celebrity she loved she said Fergie, but when asked which celebrity she detests she said, "I don't want to give her the satisfaction of mentioning her," she laughed before adding, "Don't you already know? Paris!" Ouch!]
Sounds like a match made in heaven - at least as far as what Paris deserves, on all fronts.

The Editor reportedly had to chase Lindsay around just to get her to sit own long enough for an interview, along with the photo shoot. In the new issue, Editor Lorraine Candy said, "Lindsay Lohan wrote me a note during this month's cover shoot. It read: 'Let's do it again some time.' I've put it on my office wall because, in all honesty, I don't know if I could. This was the most unpredictable, and confusing shoot in my magazine career. First, Lindsay was about to arrive. Then she was in Paris. She was almost on set, then she disappeared into her hotel room. She was ready for her interview, then she had to have a fake tan! But we got there."]
How has she even made it this far in her career? How does she keep securing the miniscule amount of jobs that come her way? Thanks Lorraine for finally getting honest - I never would have guessed. Ha.

Go-I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and
some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and
unique.
-Here's a tip for all moms. Never ask young children to pay when you go
out to the movie theater. It is simply unfair to ask a four-year-old to pay for
herself.
-Why not give her the trip as a very special present? That way,
you--and she--can learn so much more about what it is to love and to give.
Repayment can come later.

-Many of you have asked if I have any tips on how to get
leggings on quicker. My in-house leggings guru advises rubbing onto your legs a
paste made from five spoonfuls of extra-virgin olive oil, turbinado sugar, and
coarsely ground fair-trade coffee. If you have any further problems, then next
week I'll be recommending a truly great creative-leggings clinic.

-What is it about books that make them so truly great to
read? I think it's the way the words are printed on every page, the right way
up and in just the right order.
-This means you can start reading on the first
page and then continue reading through the middle pages all the way to the last
page.
-Here are some of my absolute favorite books. War, by Leo Tolstoy. A
great read. Bonus: You can get it as part of a two-volume edition which
includes Peace by the same great author.
-Shakespeare, by Shakespeare. He has
so many great lines. "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" "Frankly, my
dear, I don't give a damn." "I am the Walrus." "My heart will go on." They're
part of the language.

Click here to read the list in it's entirety - it's hilarious! Kudos to the stalwart mag for bringing some much needed levity to the intolerable "Gwyneth situation."
Gerard Butler is feeling conflicted about what kind of woman he wants in his life. I, however, I'm feeling no confusion at all. Gerard is hot and I desire him. It's very clear cut. Here's my plan to nab my man: fluff my hair into a faux eighties 'do, cling desperately and hide my college degrees. I think this could really work! Although she is, in fact, far more put together than the
troubled pop star, Olsen did get pretty racy for the photo shoot - in one shot,
she rocks nothing but a bra and panties. Between poses at her Greenwich Village
townhouse, Ashley spoke about how far she's come since her days as baby
Michelle Tanner on "Full House" - days she doesn't always remember fondly.
"Growing up, it was almost like I was in the Army," she
laments. "School, work, homework, fly to New York, get in at 2 in the morning,
do a morning show at 5 a.m., then another one at 7, then a radio interview at
10."]
I know a lot of people don't feel sorry for her. It's difficult to feel compassion for someone who became financially solvent (well into the millions) by being shoved down our collective throats. That said, Ashley does seem relatively "normal" given her extraordinary circumstances. As for Mary-Kate? Well, I'd venture to guess she shares more than a few of Britney's (hopefully former) propensities!

Do you think there's a chance I could date Jon Gosselin? I don't know if I'm trashy enough, but I could try! Apparently Jon's been sticking it everywhere he can and this week is no different. It's currently come to light that Jon recently pulled a "Jude Law" by sleeping with his kid's nanny. Actually Jon and Jude have a lot in common - both are aging douchebags with receding hairlines who like 'em young. Perhaps Gosselin should reach out to Law - it would certainly be a step up from current bestie, Michael Lohan. Dirty deeds: She's not just any ordinary babysitter, either. She's also a cocktail waitress at Jon's favorite dive in Pennsylvania, Legends. What a co-inky-dink! Jon was spotted emerging from the babysitter's quarters, then shortly thereafter, she emerged wearing the outfit she came home in, the night before.]
Dang! Jon was definitely not getting laid in the holy union that was his marriage. He sure seems ready to make up for lost time! Remember when he was just a sweet father in a polo shirt? Oh, how things have changed...
[Photo Credit: Jon sneaking out after allegedly doing the babysitter. This guy is 100% class!]
Perpetual lonely girl Jennifer Aniston has suffered one indignity after another since her divorce from Brad Pitt. Guess what, Jen? It's not gonna end! A high-profile movie the former couple previously owned via their shared production company is about to hit the big screen - a move that will most likely remind Aniston of yet another raft of regrets. Interesting tidbit from Celebitchy: "Two days before the trip, Brad told her he thought it was best if she didn't come," a source tells Star. "They've been fighting a lot, but this really ripped her heart out." And Brad's bad-boy behavior at the July 28 Basterds after party didn't help their already troubled situation -- at all.
"Angie lost it because Brad started drinking at a photo
call hours before the premiere and kept going until 4 a.m.!" says a
source. "She tried calling him a few times, and he didn't pick up -- so she
kept trying until he finally answered. She was nagging him so much that Brad
finally shut his phone off." Brad continued to party with brunette German
director -- and one-time gal pal -- Katja von Garnier!
The littlest victims of the couple's downward spiral are
their children: Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and nearly
13-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne. "The kids have been feeling the
tension," says a source.]
Ah, those evil feuding adults making their little victims suffer. Once again - these are both attractive, successful people with everything going for them. If life was 24/7 misery, I think they'd be smart enough to change it. I do have an idea for Brad, when he finally decides to escape the supposed hell that is his reality - reunite with Juliette Lewis! She claims they used to sit around and smoke loads of pot. Sounds like a blast, dude. The halcyon days of easy street - no responsibilities and tons of bud. He needs to mellow out with a rocker chick - you know, when this whole mess is finally over. Which will be never...
Katherine Heigl has landed another romantic flick - this time around she'll also act as executive producer. Well played, Katherine! That's one way to ensure you nab the starring role with the most screen time. Who's her possible victim costar for this latest venture? None other than Fergie's delicious husband, Josh Duhamel. Details: 
"It's a miniature version of my house," said the heiress to
Life & Style. "I designed it with the help of my interior decorator, Faye
Resnick. I wanted it to be fun, cute, comfortable and beautiful. My friends
just love it and think it's so adorable and cool."
The two floor dog house has a clay-tile roof with copper
gutters, intricate ceiling molding and a crystal chandelier hanging in the
bedroom complete with central air. The dogs even have a closet and a downstairs
living room!
"They love lying on the balcony, playing in their backyard
and hanging out on their living room furniture. They appreciate the house that
Mommy built for them," she continued. "The dogs love to dress up. My
friends say they have a better wardrobe than most people."]
Good to know she treats her dogs better than people. I wouldn't have expected anything less. When will she grow up - or is she even capable of such a feat?

With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to

I'll miss nurturing all the new talent,but most of all being

It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past

I know a lot of people are shocked at the turn of events. Rumor has it the powers that be were most likely sick of her antics - but that was reportedly half the draw! Will producers rethink the dicey decision if ratings take a dip? Money always talks. Meanwhile, what will Paula do with all that free time? Never one to be left out of the fray, Ryan Seacrest has Tweeted that his Blackberry was "blowin' up." He claims he's devastated at the news. Hey, with that $45 million payday he secured from AI, perhaps he could share a little with Paula...
2. FHM, June 2007: "I forget to flush the toilet.
Friends will tell me, 'Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and
didn't flush.' "
3. GQ, September 2008: "Olivia Wilde is so sexy, she
makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands."
4. New York Post, November 2008: "I'm obsessed with

5. Esquire, May 2009: "Let me tell you what it's really
about. High School Musical is about this group of boys who are all being

struggling to cope with this molestation. And they have these little

Although a rep for Avril says that she and Brandon just happened to be at the same yacht party and Brandon is "just a friend," an insider questions whether it's really a coincidence that they were both here at the same time. In recent months, Avril and Brandon, 30, were spotted all over LA, including West Hollywood bar El Carmen, Pace restaurant, and partying at hotspot MyHouse. But the French getaway definitely appeared to lift her spirits. Just days before, Avril, 24 and Deryck, 29, were having a more low-key time at Madeo in LA together. "She looked miserable when she was leaving," says a witness.]
Brandon Davis is the ex-boyfriend of Mischa Barton, who's been known to do some serious partying of her own. Coincidence or ongoing theme? At any rate, I totally believe Avril and Brandon are hooking up. They're both selfish hedonists who love to party and both have funds to, umm, share their bounty. And Deryk? He must also have something on the side or he simply must not care. Open relationships are all the rage!

One startling revelation is that O'Neal hit on his own
daughter at Farrah's funeral.
Tatum O'Neal, who hadn't seen her father for several years prior to
Fawcett's death, ran into her father's arms after the memorial service and
hugged him. He didn't recognize
her and said, "You have a drink on you?
You have a car?" She
replied, "Daddy, it's me -- Tatum."
She acknowledges, "That's our relationship in a nutshell. You make of it what you will."
Tatum said that the relationship between father and daughter
deteriorated when she was 16-years-old and he began his relationship with
Farrah. She doesn't blame Fawcett,
who she said was inspirational, beautiful and kind.]
It's sad that only death Farrah's found peace. As for Ryan - I don't think there's peace for him, no matter where he may roam. Sick stuff.
[Magazine Cover: As it's been since June, she'll share coverage with Michael Jackson.]
Ah, the holy love of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. It's about to get more special. Read on:
Lindsay Lohan got a big-time job, y'all - with a real, honest-to-goodness director and cast! Check it out: After Maddox and Angelina returned from their three-day trip
to Iraq and Jordan, Brad lashed out at Angelina. "He called her
irresponsible," explains the associate. "He had told her taking Maddox to Iraq
was ridiculously dangerous, but she disrespected his wishes and went anyway."
Instead of talking things through... Angelina fired back at
Brad. "She said Brad's ignorance about how dangerous Iraq is underlines why she
should take trips there with Maddox - so he can know better."
The fight escalated until they were "both talking and
screaming at the same time," the associate says, adding that while "Angie
finally backed down," the pair slept in separate bedrooms that night and have
barely spoken since.]
Well, that is an interesting birthday present for an eight year old. Granted, this is a unique spin - but I'm sooo tired of these stories. No one could sustain a relationship if they supposedly fought as much as this duo. However, I do have a sneaking suspicion that Brad is thrilled for his upcoming promotional tour. That guy likes to party!
"Poor Katherine Heigl. What she neglected to add was
this: This 'cruel' shooting schedule was only to accommodate HER and her needs.
The producers graciously shuffled things around so she could go off and do
promotion for her new film. Also, with union rules, the producers had to pay a
ton of overtime and penalties to make this happen. The thanks they get is
Katherine Heigl going on national television hoping to embarrass them,"
Levine wrote on his blog.
No rep confirmation of course. Do you think Katherine would
just push blame like that even though she knew it was all her fault?]
She's off her freakin' rocker. I can't recall, at the moment, an actress who comes across so self-entitled while simultaneously cementing her bitchy attitude with quotes on record. Oh, wait. Megan Fox. Sorry, it's really late and I'm drinking red wine. The only difference is Megan's unrelenting hotness is protecting her. Katherine is not fairing so well on the public prosecution scale. Perhaps she should consider divorce so the general population perceives her as available - i.e. fuckable. Oh, that and shut her mouth and hire a top-notch publicist. Look at me, full of advice!
[Photo Credit: She could have had it all.]
"Charlyne is beyond sad," says a source. "And the breakup is so much harder because she'll have to see him on tour." The three-year relationship fell victim to Michael's skyrocketing career, says the source. His shoots kept them apart for long stretches of time- and it didn't help that Michael, 21, has become a bit of a heart-throb.
"He's been with her since before he was super-famous, and
now all these girls fawn all over him," says the source. "He's just itching to
date other people. As hard as it will be for Charlyne, he'll probably be out
with someone else very soon."]
Yeah, he's ready to get out on the scene. Forgot long-term unconditional love with someone who knows you. It's time to get your dick wet, dude! Have fun. And really nice timing, by the way. Very classy. All those geek-lovin' fans are in for a treat.
