Madonna promises never to try to act again

Madonna knows what she's good at, and now she plans to stick to it. The super-fit geriatric Jewish queen of pop can't act for shit and she's finally admitted it:

MADONNA has begrudgingly turned her back on her movie career, because she is convinced the media is hell bent on ensuring her film projects are flops. The LIKE A VIRGIN singer was lauded for her performance in the big screen adaptation of the musical EVITA, but she has suffered a string of flops, most notably BODY OF EVIDENCE and SWEPT AWAY, her last movie role directed by husband GUY RITCHIE, which failed to secure a cinema release. And the 47-year-old, who is currently in the midst of her Confessions world tour, will concentrate solely on her music career from now on. She says, "I hate to admit it, but I've decided to give [acting] up. "How can any film survive if everyone says it's going to be a flop from the very day the project is even conceived? "It's already dead in the water."

By saying it's already "dead in the water," she may have been making a sneaky reference to that terrible film that doomed her husband's career, "Swept Away." People say her films suck not because she's in them, but because they've actually seen them and she can't act. Her acting is wooden and forced, and that's smart of her to stick with what she knows - writhing around on stage and pissing off the Christians.

Here's Madonna in concert in Rome on August 6th. Looks like the pope missed a fabulous show. [via]

Lindsay Lohan just about to burn out

I'm sorry for two Lindsay Lohan stories today, but I just couldn't resist this latest news. Page Six is reporting that Lindsay Lohan is just about to get kicked out of her digs at the Chateau Marmont hotel. Hotel staff are annoyed at her comings and goings at all hours of the night:

According to Page Six, the freckled phenom's behavior at the Chateau, where Hollywood royalty has indulged themselves for years in well-shielded privacy, has prompted management to consider a ban. "They are trying to kick her out. It is very disruptive with all of her friends coming in and out and her late nights," says one source. A rep for the hotel says the rumor isn't true.

Lindsay shocked her accountants by running up a $1,000,000 bill at the Chateau Marmount last year. Why doesn't she just buy a house? There was another story that Lindsay spent another million on clothing alone when she easily could have been comped many of the luxury brands she wears.

There's also a report from a "Herbie: Fully Loaded" crew member that claims that Lindsay was as much of a lazy brat on that set as she's been publically chastized for on her latest film.

She stayed out all night, and then the doctor announced that Ms Lohan had asthma the next day. She played the exhaustion card a couple of times. Too tired from shooting to bear another day of shooting. She calls in sick one day and we find out she is across town shooting a day with her then-boyfriend on That 70's Show. Another day she has the "doctor" call in Ms Sickie's fake ailment, because she was shooting her own music video the night before. Many mornings during the Herbie show were rescheduled according to the Puffy Face Report. The Princess was able to make the production [crew] recreate the desert race sets closer to the Four Seasons. She said she had signed on "to do a film in Los Angeles" and El Mirage was too hot and too far. She is a brat. One day she comes storming up the Team Payton driveway, followed by the producer. It seems he had to insist that Lindsey play her off-screen lines for Michael Keaton. This common courtesy she could not afford her fellow actor.

The way Lindsay is going she's going to spend all her cash on purses and hotel rooms and will have such a bad reputation in the industry that she won't be able to get another job. Maybe she gets her drugs for free though.

Here's Lindsay having a little upskirt accident and shopping. [via] and [via

Diddy, "The King of Sexy," let Justin Timberlake "borrow" the term

Diddy seems to think that he owns the common adjective "sexy" and that he alone holds the rights. He said he is the true "King of Sexy" and that he let Justin Timberlake "borrow" the term for his latest CD:

Hip-hop mogul SEAN COMBS has given JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE permission to use his catchphrase "sexy" for his comeback single. The Bad Boy Entertainment boss is famed for his use of the word, and he has no problem with Timberlake hijacking the term for his song SEXYBACK. Diddy says, "I'm a big fan of Justin and he's allowed to use my catchphrase 'sexy' and run with it. I mean, I got it from somebody else, so it's all good. "(But) I am the king of the sexy, Justin. Let's not get it twisted."

Victoria's Secret must have called up Diddy before the launch of their Very Sexy bras to make sure he approved of their use of the word. Or maybe they're paying him royalties.

Oh wait - I dated a patent attorney a while ago, and I think the way it works is that you only have rights to a trademark within a certain industry. In that case Diddy is the sole "sexy" singer and Timberlake indeed needs to bow to him in order to call himself sexy. All other professions and industries can be sexy without Diddy's approval.

Lindsay Lohan to start a tattoo parlor and put out a photography book

Lindsay Lohan just can't slow down. The girl loves talking about herself, and she really likes looking at herself too. She told I-d Magazine that she doesn't read the tabloids, but she does look at her own pictures. Big surprise:

"I don't read the tabloids much anymore. (I just look at the pictures to see how I am in other people's eyes.) I'm comfortable in my own skin. You know, you really want to please everyone, but I'm not going to do things just to make other people happy. I've learned to say 'no' more than 'yes.' I mean, nothing against the people who do, but I would never do a line for K-mart or something. I love fashion too much. There are certain things I want to do."

[from the September, 2006 issue of I-d Magazine, print edition]

One of those "things" is put out a book of photographs of herself and her friends, including Karl Lagerfeld, who she brags about knowing, She talks about charity, too, but it's doubtful she'll ever get to it with all the other crap she's planning:

[Lindsay wants] to open a boutique in Paris carrying work by Lagerfeld...

She's also putting together a book of photographs of herself, Moss, Lagerfeld, and others for a book, "It's going to be called Narcissist." She pauses and looks off as if to say, I know what people are going to say and I don't care.

She has started a production company and is teaming with her good friend, Natalie Portman... on a project.

She's planning a trip to Kenya, "I've always wanted my own charity. That's something I'm really involved in. Something I will have more time for in the long run."

She goes on to talk about her plans to visit Iraq while channeling Marilyn Monroe.

This girl is so full of shit. She admitted as much this week by saying that she "says things that aren't true a lot." That's called lying, Lindsay! Is everyone else as sick of this girl's bullshit as I am?

Britain's The Sun reports that Lindsay plans to open a tattoo parlor in LA! Let's hope this isn't true:

A pal told me: “Lindsay is setting up her own tattoo place which will be like a trendy, glass-fronted fashion store. She will work on her own designs and will market it to young society people.

“Lindsay wants to create a complete brand which will move into clothes and merchandising. She’s looking for business partners and tattooists to come in on it with her.”

Lindsay, girl, slow down. You're going to burn out more than your voice.

Madonna invites the Pope to see her blasphemy firsthand

Someone please stop Madonna before she's damned to hell. She's using the same old tired "offend all the Christians" gimmick to generate controversy over her geriatric tour. She refused to take the hanging on a cross bit out of her show for the televised version of her concert, and she also declined to take it out when she plays Rome right near the Vatican. Now she's upped the ante a bit by inviting the creepy Pope himself to her show:

Madonna has invited Pope Benedict XVI to be the guest of honor at her Rome, Italy, Confessions concert on Sunday, which features the mock crucifixion of the singer. Religious leaders in Italy and The Vatican have united to publicly denounce the singer's controversial stage act, in which she is 'crucified' on a diamante-studded cross, while wearing a crown of thorns.

Ersilio Cardinal Tonino, speaking on behalf of The Pope, said yesterday, "This concert is a blasphemous challenge to the faith and a profanation of the cross. She should be ex-communicated. To crucify herself during the concert in the city of Popes and martyrs is an act of open hostility."

Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg tells the New York Daily News, "I think the Pope would enjoy the show and would applaud her performance. He has an open invitation to see for himself the eloquence and beauty that Madonna expresses for humanity while performing her poignant song 'Live To Tell.'"

That's so fucking stupid! Madonna can't stand being out of the spotlight for five minutes, and she has to offend everyone who isn't a member of her crazy cult religion.

I'm not religious at all, but I just think that's ridiculous. Madonna can put all the sexy bits in that she wants, but why does she have to mess with religious symbolism so blatantly?

Yeah sure, Madonna, the Pope's going to be impressed by your tribute to "humanity." Give me a break.

Kid Rock broke up with his last girlfriend by text message

The model Kid Rock was dating right before he reconciled with Pamela Anderson is heartbroken by how quickly he moved on - and how coldly he dumped her. Jill Marie Gulseth, 22, tells In Touch that Kid Rock broke up with her unexpectedly via text message:

Sexy brunette Jill Marie Gulseth dated the rocker for three months earlier this year until he ditched her to focus on winning former fiancée Anderson back...

Gulseth tells In Touch magazine, "To be broken up with in a text was just so shocking and upsetting. I cried a lot to friends and family."

The 22-year-old beauty adds, "It's not easy seeing it in the news every day. I mean, I was just with him at his house a few weeks ago. When we were together, we never spoke about Pam. I honestly wasn't focused on his history - I was focused on our future."

The future's kind of hazy with Kid Rock, and this naive chick is much better off without him.

It seems to be kind of popular among rock stars to dump their girlfriends via SMS. Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine told Jessica Simpson he was "really busy" and "needed space" in a text message. The poor girl never saw him again.

Mel Gibson hates gay people too

Gallery of the Absurd has this fabulous new Mel Gibson bumper sticker. If they would create actual bumper stickers like this, they would sell out.

The pictures of Mel partying it up before refusing a ride home, getting arrested and going apeshit have come out. He looks every bit the aged, washed up bigot.

Mel also said back in the day that he hates gay people, and that he's such an asshole because he's a closet case:

With Mel Gibson getting heat over those anti-Semitic comments, some foes are adding fuel to the fire by reminding people about the “Passion of the Christ” director’s anti-gay comments in 1992. When Spanish newspaper El Pais asked Gibson about homosexuals, he shot back: “They take it up the [bleep].” Then pointing at his behind, he said, “This is only for taking a [bleep].” He told the reporter that he was once worried that if he became an actor, people would think he was gay. “But with this look, who’s going to think I’m gay?” he asked. “It would be hard to take me for someone like that. Do I sound like a homosexual? Do I talk like them? Do I move like them?” After some people were offended by his comments, Playboy asked him if he would apologize. “I’ll apologize when hell freezes over,” he said.

He really must hate himself most of all for ruining his posh lifestyle making obscure vanity films.

People are pointing out that if Roman Polanski violated a 13 year-old girl and got his career back after fleeing the country, Mel can too. It took Polanski over twenty years. In Mel's case, he can probably put his extreme bigotry behind him in about ten.

Maybe he should just invest his money or go into real estate development.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a space cadet with a lot of plastic surgery

One of Gwyneth's co-stars in the London stage production of "Proof" said that she had some bizarre practices backstage.

The 33-year-old [Paltrow] insisted on personal chefs to cook her meals, instigated group hugs and practiced yoga between performances.

Stewart recalls, "Gwyneth is lovely but she is, in the nicest sense, in another world.

"Personal chefs prepared her macrobiotic food but the food was delicious -- even brownies with no chocolate!

"She practiced yoga so she was incredibly flexible. I didn't have to do that but we did have a cast 'group hug' every night. It is so not British, but it was OK."

It sounds pretty normal to do yoga if that's your thing, but a personal chef at a theatre production? I don't know. Couldn't she have her macrobiotic meals delivered?

Group hugs are kind of strange, but not damning. I usually look at the crap Gwyneth says to call her pretentious. Reader Millie has a friend who is an acquaintance of Paltrow's and says she's really nice, though.

WWTDD really dislikes Gwyneth, and is quick to point out that she has no higher-level education and got her early work from family friends:

Keep in mind that she has no education. She went to three different spoiled hippie high schools and then quit during her first semester in college. All her early roles were given to her by family friends (think Spielberg and 'Hook'). Her biggest accomplishment was being born rich and connected.

And Oh No They Didn't shows before and after pictures of Gwynnie's face that make it clear that she's had rhinoplasty and eye work. She had a good surgeon, I can say that for her.

Mel Gibson was anti-semitic and combative during his DUI arrest

It's a shame there's no Nick Nolte style mug shot to include with this story, but uber-religious Catholic cult member Mel Gibson was arrested for drunk driving on Friday after supposedly being sober for years. He had a bottle of tequila in his car, and said it wasn't his but he'd "had a little bit" (that's classic!)

TMZ also has details of a police cover-up to remove inflammatory details from the original report. When he was first arrested, Mel Gibson went off on Jews, saying they were responsible for all the wars in the world, and told the arresting officer repeatedly that he was going to "fuck" him. He also tried to run away when the cop did him a courtesy by not cuffing him.

Once he was in custody, he tried to unzip his pants to pee on the floor of his holding cell!

Once inside the car, a source directly connected with the case says Gibson began banging himself against the seat. The report says Gibson told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you." The report also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he 'owns Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."

The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?..."

Gibson was put in a cell with handcuffs on. He said he needed to urinate, and after a few minutes tried manipulating his hands to unzip his pants. Sources say Deputy Mee thought Gibson was going to urinate on the floor of the booking cell and asked someone to take Gibson to the bathroom.

Gibson was obviously distraught over the illegal unprovoked war on Lebanon that's killed countless innocent civilians. Israel is responsible for a high percentage of wars, but then again so are the Americans. There's that whole imprisoning an entire country thing that Israel's doing, too. It's not the Jewish or American peoples' fault, though, just their terrible leaders.

Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving twice before and let off with just a warning.

Mel Gibson is a member of the Catholic cult, Opus Dei, which tried to escape the terrible image it was given in the Da Vinci Code, and calls their portrayal inaccurate:

In The Da Vinci Code, Opus Dei members are falsely depicted murdering, lying, drugging people, and otherwise acting unethically, thinking that it is justified for the sake of God, the Church, or Opus Dei.

The only other famous person I've heard of who was a member of Opus Dei was FBI spy Robert Hanssen, who rigged up a secret room in order to let his best friend watch while he had sex with his wife.

Gibson has since apologized for his behavior, saying that he "acted like a person completely out of control," that he "said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable," and that he was "deeply ashamed."

It's too late for Gibson, because everyone's suspicions about him have been confirmed. Now that their highest profile member has been exposed for the jerk he is, Opus Dei is going to have even more problems with their image. Mel Gibson's going to have quite a hard time making his weird religious movies too.

Paris Hilton says that other girls "use her" to get attention

Someone was sending nasty text messages to Lindsay Lohan's friends, and the messages sounded suspiciously like Paris Hilton's junior-high put downs. Paris has denied being the culprit because of course she couldn't hack anything. It's possible she figured out the password or had someone help her, though:

Paris Hilton who has allegedly been accused by Lindsay Lohan’s publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik of hacking into Lohan’s personal Blackberry and sending out harassing messages to her buddy list, called such claims as absolutely ‘silly’.

"A mysterious troublemaker sent disgusting and very mean messages that everyone thought were coming from Lindsay. They weren`t. We now have her lawyers looking into it. Some people think Paris may have been involved because the wording of the messages sounds very familiar", Zap2it quoted Zelnik, as saying.

But Hilton who has already gone through the ‘hacking business’ when her private info from her Sidekick was leaked onto the Internet in 2004, called the accusations as absolutely ‘silly’ and erroneous.

Whatever. Like we really care about either of these two anymore. They're fun to watch in a car-crash kind of way.

Hilton says that "certain girls use [her]" to get attention. As if she's not the one clamouring for attention all the time:

She says, "All those stories are made up. You know how shy I am... Well, non-confrontational.

"Certain girls just use me to get media attention because a feud with Paris Hilton always gets press."

There's something seriously wrong with talking about yourself in the third person. Paris is non-confrontational. She's so non-confrontational she has to make up stories about fights she's had with other girl celebrities and try to spread them around. Those girls must have wanted attention so badly that they psychically willed Paris to involve them in fantasy fights.

Here's Paris with her sister Nicky in some older bikini candids and doing recent promotion for her single in Costa d'en Blanes and Palma de Mallorca on July 23 and 22. [via]

Naomi Campbell goes apeshit on her lover's yacht

I wouldn't mind having a $1,000 purse or some frivolous jeans, but I usually don't envy the very rich or famous - except when it comes to travelling. They don't have to go through the incredible bullshit that the rest of us endure just to get from point A to B.

After flying from NY to London with a three hour delay, then waiting 45 minutes in line to get my flight changed since I missed my connection, then flying another two hours and being made to wait standing outside a locked baggage claim office for ten minutes while the receptionists looked at me without a nod of acknowledgment, I almost started freaking out. Did I mention that I was alone with a two year-old toddler and had been travelling for 13 hours? I understood air rage at that moment.

When my husband told me that Naomi Campbell trashed her lover's yacht, I thought "Well maybe she had a hard day." Her days never approach the level of difficulty an average person faces, and she was on a chi-chi yacht with space and air, not some cramped commercial airline with overperfumed stewardesses.

While the rest of us get pissy and bitchy, Naomi Campbell takes dramatic, violent action.

Bitch caused $55,000 worth of damage after she got in a tiff with the chef over the plain mozarella and dried ham appetizer that he served. It seems she doesn't understand simple Italian fare, and she coped by busting up the place:

The supermodel wrecked £30,000 of furniture and fittings — because she did not like his starters or the wine.

Fiery Naomi, 36, clashed with the chef aboard £1.5million yacht Nasma on Italy’s Tuscan riviera.

Naomi asked him to create a memorable, romantic meal for her and new lover Badr Jafar, a Dubai-born prince.

But his simple tomato, mozzarella and dried ham starter with a local white wine failed to impress.

Reports say Naomi — already fired up after a row with a photographer — told him where to shove it, and he hit back in “colourful Tuscan dialect”.

Staff on the 100ft yacht ducked as she lashed out at antiques, light fittings, china plates and glasses.

A man in Viareggio harbour said: “All hell seemed to break loose. All you could hear was shouting and screaming in English. There was the sound of plates being broken.

“Some of the crew later said the kitchen was a complete mess and the curtains and cushions had all been ripped apart.”

The chef, called Andrea, works at Viareggio restaurant il Porto.

A colleague said last night: “He wouldn’t have taken insults from Naomi.”

She needs to get medicated and go into therapy. I think she also should get dropped from all her current ad campaigns, because she's not going to change unless it hits her where it hurts. Hopefully one of the libel suits against her will also stick - hard.

Here she is looking like the victim for once. (Why do magazines do this to women? I usually don't complain about objectification, but this is ridiculous. It's Naomi, though, so that's ok.) These are from Style magazine and are low resolution.

Dita Von Teese picture post

Dita Von Teese, the burlesque performer and wife of Marilyn Manson, redeemed herself partially in our eyes by admitting that her boobs are fake.

The burlesque star is proud of her cosmetically enhanced bosom and sees no shame in giving nature a helping hand.

She says, "Why deny it? I'll always be very open about it. I hate it when people in the public eye aren't honest about any surgery that they've had."

I was annoyed with Dita a little over a month ago when she was quoted putting down other strippers and acting like hers was the only act in town. Doc pointed out that I have no clue about burlesque, and he was partially right. There's a difference between stripping and teasing, and in Dita's case it's to the tune of millions of dollars that can't just be stuffed in her panties.

Now she's admitted to surgery and that's a step in the non-bullshit direction. She still has much farther to go.

She says her job is "liberating" since she charges tens of thousands of dollars for an appearance, and that she's a sex symbol to both men and women. She also poo-poos the charges that she's setting back feminism:

She said: "Some people say what I do isn't very liberating. I say it's pretty liberating to get $20,000 for 10 minutes work.

"And as many women as men come to my shows. When I started my website in 1993, it was geared towards men. Now it has more female visitors - not necessarily lesbians, just young women interested in my style."

Dita, 33, who is married to rock star Marilyn Manson, thinks women are interested in her because they want tips on how they can become sexier to please their partners.

She added to Britain's The Times newspaper: "Most women want to be sex symbols, even if they don't admit it. Imagine being considered not for your mind but for how you look. Sort of fun, don't you think?"

There's all sorts of things wrong with that comment, and it could be considered downright nasty, if not ignorant and rude. There's nothing wrong with being sexy, but that doesn't mean that should be the only way you're evaluated in life. If that's the case then you're screwed no matter how sexy you are. It's not fun to be considered a piece of meat or an ornament. She might not have actually said this, though. It's attributed to The Times, but the quote sounds fake and is reprinted in a source that's not reliable.

In case you're a big Dita fan and think I'm being harsh, consider how many pictures I'm posting of her from various photoshoots. In the ladybug one she looks like a tranny. [via]

Paris Hilton says she's going to be celibate for a year

In a pledge that she'll probably forget next week, Paris Hilton confirmed to Britains Guardian that she plans on being celibate for an entire year:

We talk about shopping, entrepreneurialism and the future. Hilton had previously said she wanted to be a mother by now, but she recently announced that, after being in relationships for all her adult life, she is going to stay boyfriendless and celibate for a year. Why? "Just because I want to. I feel I'm becoming stronger as a person. Every time I have a boyfriend, I'm just so romantic, and I put all my energy into the guy, and I don't really pay attention to myself."

Now, she says, it's time to take care of business and indulge herself in a few consumables. What's the most extravagant thing she's ever bought? "Erm ... I just ordered the new Bentley convertible." How much is that? "I don't know - I didn't ask."

Paris says she makes her own money and deserves to be known for her, uh, fame, rather than her status as an heiress. She also brags about how gracious and sweet she is:

It annoys her, she says, when people suggest she's got where she has because of her family. But it certainly helped in the early days, didn't it? "Well ..." Her voice momentarily breaks up and goes all Rod Stewart on me. "There's a lot more to it than that because there are a million other heiresses I've heard of who don't do anything with their lives." So what makes her special? "There's nobody else like me. Also, I'm a good person. I treat everybody great. I travel around the world and I'm better to the fans than any single person." Better than anybody? "Yes." She smiles beatifically. She often talks of her goodness.

Hilton was brought up a Catholic, and still attends church. "I think a lot of people forget where they came from and treat people bad." The notion of her forgetting her roots sounds ludicrous, but I think I know what she means - she's not talking inherited wealth, but achievement. As she says, more than once, "I don't want to be known as the Hilton heiress, because I didn't do anything for that."

Paris dishes on Nicole in the article, saying that fame has changed her and that it "breaks her heart" while she's stayed the same, vapid person all along.

Author Naomi Wolf calls Paris a "palette cleanser" and compares her bland sexy-innocent image to white noise:

"The pigeon-toed I'm-a-little-girl thing combined with the deliberate strategic convergence of pornography as entree into superstardom. She's always smiling, she never says much of anything, she's totally uncontroversial, she's managed to create a construct that is completely explicitly sexually available and completely innocent and naive and girlish at the same time. She's very soothing. It's like white noise in an over-stimulated environment. Paris Hilton is like a palette cleanser. She's like, as semiotics would say, an empty signifier, so you can project absolutely anything on to her, which is the perfect situation for branding."

When told about Wolf's assessment of her, Paris says she doesn't know what it means, but that she thinks it's "nice."

While some people give Paris credit for her skyrocketing image, I believe her and think she's just been the same shop-a-holic party-girl all the time.

Of course I don't believe that she's going to be celibate for a year, because chances are she said that in a brief two-week lull and will forget all about it when the next hookup presents itself.

Paris is seen in a new photoshoot by Dave Hogan, and posing with her sister, Nicky, on July 8th in LA. She is also shown shopping for prison shorts on July 7th. [via]

Lindsay Lohan says her boobs are real and she never tried cocaine

Lindsay's full of shit lately. Her boobs look like two basketballs stuffed under her skin, but she has attributed their strange shape and quick growth to natural causes. This latest quote is undoubtedly made up, because there's no source listed and it's worded like a typical Brit would phrase it, but it's not beneath us to repeat it or attribute it to her. She said something like this before, but it's impossible to google since all the keywords are kind of dirty:

Stunning Lindsay, who only turned 20 on Sunday, said: "Skinny's not attractive. I've learnt that."

Peering inside her vest she added: "I like having my breasts in there - naturally, I add! The papers said I had implants, then when I was really flat-chested they said I was anorexic and had had them taken out.

"Truth is I have got my boobs back because I've got healthier again and I'm so happy."

[via]

It's probably not true that she actually said that this time around unless someone changed the quote to sound British, but in an interview with The Mirror she did deny every trying cocaine, and credited her druggie dad for her abstinence:

"I've never tried cocaine," Lindsay says. "I've seen my father. I've seen how it messes with families and f***s your life up. If I hadn't witnessed that, I may have gone a different route. I don't know. But I've seen how it tore my parents apart."

Lohan also admits that she was too thin and wasn't eating right, and said she turned her health around by exercising. She says she parties a lot but that "it's nothing too decadent and probably not half as wild as what goes on at university fraternity parties." It's good that she's no longer in denial about her body at least.

Here she is in various beach shots this week.

Thanks to Hollywoods Best, Egotastic, and Mollygood for the photos. x17online also points out her freckled butt.

Star Jones' career is totally over

Star Jones just can't stop opening her big mouth. She screwed herself out of a chance to exit The View gracefully by blabbing that she's leaving on air, and then telling People that she was fired. She should have taken producers' advice to "make up a story" about why she's no longer going to annoy the old ladies who watch The View with her shrinking presence. Instead she behaved as arrogantly as she always does and managed to royally piss off Barbara Walters.

Word is that she has almost no chance of getting another job in television now that she's poured gasoline over all her rickety bridges.

Shari Anne Brill, director of programming at Carat USA, said Jones Reynolds' 15 minutes of fame could be over after she unexpectedly announced her departure during a live broadcast.

"If she didn't have something in the works, that would be an extremely bad career move," explained Brill. "You don't diss your boss. That's a serious bridge to burn."

Especially when your boss is TV legend Walters.

One insider said Reynolds Jones is widely regarded as "unemployable" because of her reputation as a diva.

"Are people going to want to buy the trouble?" he said. "I don't think so.

"She has won some of the audience with her wounded doe act, but in a year's time they won't even remember who she is."

Another TV source shared doubts about the 44-year-old's future.

"Star has meetings scheduled on both coasts with possible employers," she said. "The blast of publicity over her firing will produce a lot of offers - or none at all.

"Some TV executives might be concerned that Star is not a team player."

Here's Star on The Today Show. She tries to compare herself to people screwed by big corporations like Enron or Tyco, but she's totally full of shit. She also says she made the announcement she was leaving on Tuesday instead of Thursday because of the "nastiness" in the media.

That's part 1 of 2. The second part is here.

She better get television coverage when she can, because she's talk show poison now.

Christina Aguilera won't even look at interviewers

Christina Aguilera is such a diva. Not only does she arrive hours late for most every scheduled interview, she also refuses to look interviewers in the eye. She insists that the room is darkly lit and sits facing the other way while she answers questions:

Christina Aguilera has always had a diva attitude - arriving hours late for everything, big demands, feuds with everyone from Mariah to Kelly Osbourne.

Now with the release of her new album she's learned a new trick. During promo interviews she's refused to look at any journalist. Instead, the diva insists that the interview, for which she's usually two to four hours late, takes place in a dimly lit room, where she sits and stares in the other direction completely to the journalists while they ask, and she answers, questions.

(From the popbitch e-mail newsletter)

If this is true it's ridiculous and Aguilera deserves a serious career slump for being so arrogant. Maybe she'll learn when she's older that she's no better than anyone else and that you have to be kind to people - especially the press - if you want a good reputation.

Maybe kids will soften Aguilera's outlook - although she predictably doesn't seem to want any because they would interfere with the amount of time she has available to apply makeup. She's vague on the issue of children and gives a diplomatic answer to make it seem like not completely uninterested in them:

"Maybe after the next couple of years we'll start venturing into the mindframe of starting our family." she told In Touch... "I do have goals and a set game plan for myself."

(From In Touch print edition.)

Notice that she doesn't say she'll start thinking of having a family, she gives an answer that's even more removed from that - "we'll start venturing into the mindframe of starting" a family. That means no way does she want kids at this point.

She has also called her new album "Back to Basics" her "child" and that it's like having twins:

She said: "Everyone’s asking when I’m going to have children. I just tell them my new album, ‘Back To Basics’, is my child. I’m having twins! It’s so exciting."

It is not the first time Christina has compared her new record to having a baby.

Earlier this year, the pop beauty said making her new album was the same as being pregnant - twice.

WTF would she know about having kids or being pregnant? That's so fucking snotty. Once Aguilera realizes she wants kids - when she's over 35 and her clock is ticking - she won't be able to get pregnant because she couldn't be bothered when she was fertile.

Here she is leaving her New York City hotel on 6/22 [via] and outside of MTV's Total Request Live on 6/21.

Barbara Walters says bu-bye to Star Jones

You probably heard about Barbara Walters saying that Star made a surprise announcement that she was leaving "The View," and that she trumped her opportunity to do it "with dignity". She knew that she was leaving "for months" and just decided to blurt it out on the show and piss everyone off. Well now Star's not coming back, and the old ladies who live in Florida and make up the bulk of "The Views" audience will rejoice, along with all the rest of us who never watch that piece of crap show but still make fun of it.

Here's Barbara dissing Star:

And contrary to previous reports, Star has nothing lined up for her next gig at all. Maybe she'll go back to being a lawyer. Or she can go for the quick cash and become a spokesperson for the latest junky exercise equipment they're touting on late night infomercials.

Star Jones says she was fired from "The View"

In news that's not surprising to anyone, Star Jones Reynolds tells People magazine that her contract was not renewed for her tenth season on the annoying women's talkshow, "The View," and that she she "feels" like she was fired. If they didn't renew your contract, you were fired, Star.

She announced this morning on the show that she will be leaving at the end of the season. Oh boo hoo:

"Something's been on my heart for a little bit, and after much prayer and counsel I feel like this is the right time to tell you that the show is moving in another direction for its tenth season and I will not be returning as cohost next year," she said on the air.

"That's shocking to me," interrupted Joy Behar, prompting Jones Reynolds to link hands with her cohosts.

Thanking the show's creator, Barbara Walters, "for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime," Jones Reynolds concluded by saying, "I'm not sure what the future holds, but I'm absolutely sure who holds the future."

After some discussion, Walters said, "It is a new chapter for Star. It will be a new chapter for The View in the fall."

So why is Jones Reynolds leaving? Contrary to speculation that she's unhappy about the upcoming addition of Rosie O'Donnell – one of her most vocal critics – to the show this fall, she reveals exclusively in this week's PEOPLE magazine that the departure was not her choice.

"What you don't know is that my contract was not renewed for the tenth season," she tells PEOPLE. "I feel like I was fired." She adds that she was told her contract wouldn't be renewed just days before news leaked that O'Donnell would be joining The View.

People promises to have more on the story, including Star dishing on Rosie O'Donnel's "hurtful" comments about her. O'Donnel said it was strange that Star would admit to breast lift surgery, but not own up to gastric bypass surgery that is largely rumored to have been the cause of her massive weight loss. She has also brought attention to the elephant in the room - Jones' husband Al, who always played for the other team before he hooked up with the then-huge talk show host.

Rosie O'Donnel was handpicked by Barbara Walters for a cohost gig in what was interpreted as a bid to force Jones out. Unfortunately, Jones is said to have "signed a lucrative deal with another television outlet." Who would be dumb enough to hire her?

Does anyone watch this piece of crap "The View" anymore? I have seen clips online that are so annoying I can barely sit through a couple of minutes, not to mention a whole hour. I asked my mother if anyone she knew watches it, and she knows of two people. Her 67 year-old friend who holidays in Boca watches it, but she has a high tolerance for talk shows. The other woman is over 80, also lives in Florida, and only has basic cable.

Here's a clip of Sandra Bernhardt and her nastiness vs. Star Jones and her nastiness. That little stupid conservative chick from Survivor tries to get in an ill-informed political argument with Bernhardt, and Star tries to cut to commercial. People said it was a "catfight," but it was more like an annoying argument.

Here's Star Jones and her husband, Al, at The Apollo Theatre 2006 Spring Gala on 6/19.

Why isn't Sean Preston in his baby seat, 'yall?

X17 loves to point out Britney's foibles, and their latest blog post tries to rile everyone up with a picture of Britney in the back of her Escalade holding Sean Preston. We don't see the car taking off with Sean Preston in Britney's lap, but it's implied.

Britney probably does all sorts of things that put her baby in danger, and maybe she's only caught a fraction of the time. Now that she's got a bad record, though, people are blaming her for things she hasn't even done. What do you think?

Here's what x17 wrote:

We admit that it’s quite possible that Britney slipped Sean Preston into a car seat when our cameras found her at Nobu yesterday, but given her track record and pictures like the one above, how exactly would you interpret things?...

Like we said, we may not have seen everything – but this is what we saw. What do you see here?

Commentors are pretty annoyed that X17 doesn't bother to show Britney put Sean in his carseat, but did she do it? You can see the seat in the back.

Here are some more pictures from the series. You can see clearer unwatermarked versions in our image gallery from yesterday.

Brangelina baby shower photos were stolen - here come the lawyers

Predictably enough, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's legal team have sent out notices to several blogs to pull the baby shower pictures that capture their clients in private moments. The digital card with the photos was stolen, they say. They never sent notice to us, but TMZ is a higher-profile site and was threatened with a lawsuit:

We understand that the person who stole the Stolen Photos, or an accomplice, has been offering them for sale to the various media outlets and celebrity content websites, and may have offered the Stolen Photos to you.

This letter is to provide you with notice that the Stolen Photos are copyright protected, to which my clients own right and title thereto. Any unauthorized publication, reproduction or dissemination of the Stolen Photos constitutes an infringement of my clients' copyrights in violation of the U.S. Copyright Act, Title 17 of the United States Code Section 101, et seq., and exposes you, and anyone else acting in concert with you, to civil liability, damages, injunctive relief and reimbursement of all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by my clients in connection with any copyright infringement action. Furthermore, if any monies are paid for the purchase of the Stolen Photos, you will be engaged in the purchase of stolen property.

In addition, under the circumstances that the Stolen Photos were taken, namely, at private and personal events on private property, my clients had a reasonable expectation of enjoying total privacy. The publication of the photos would therefore constitute a unlawful invasion and violation of my clients' right of privacy and would also be an unauthorized commercial appropriation of their names, likenesses and personas.

Anyone who publishes, disseminates, displays or otherwise exploits the Stolen Photos will be liable for substantial compensatory damages, punitive damages, and injunctive relief. If you publish or disseminate and of the Stolen Photos, our clients will take further legal action to protect their rights, including by the filing of a lawsuit seeking compensatory and punitive damages, statutory damages for copyright violations, and attorneys' fees.

We'll take 'em down shortly, but as much as people like Angelina and Brad - they're too heavy handed with legal and security tactics. This is the cost of fame. If you don't like it, then don't try to fight it with all your might and just stop making movies. You could be gracious about it and play it up for what it's worth, but no, you have to fight every picture tooth and nail.

I understand not wanting someone to publish all 450 pictures, but making a huge fuss and threatening bloggers for publishing three of the pictures is ridiculous.

It's like the music industry acting all indignant that people are copying digital music. It's the nature of the medium, and that's how these things work. Digital files spread - get over it, and use it to your advantage.

Angelina decided to close down an entire country to give birth. What gives her that right? Namibia's National Society for Human Rights claims that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are acting like "Colonial Overlords" and that they have no right to use an entire government to shield themselves from the paparrazi. The NSHR said "To shut down a national border so she can give birth in peace is a massive abuse of power."

To shut down a bunch of websites so people can't see your cute baby shower pictures is also a massive abuse of power. It's not on the same scale, but they're abusive. Fans made them popular and fans pay for their luxurious lifestyle. Just because they do some charity work doesn't mean that they don't have to play the game.

Anne Hathaway was sexually harassed by Stanley Tucci

A lot of the crap that happens on movie sets would be a fireable, sueable offense in any office anywhere. Celebrities tell stories about their co-stars messing around and sexually harassing them during filming, and although they try to play it off, they're saying these things because they want people to know what they went through.

Case in point: Anne Hathaway. She was totally harassed by Stanley Tucci on the set of "The Devil Wears Prada." She says Tucci elbowed her in the chest repeatedly and she had to tell him to stop. The asshole didn't just do it once, he did it again and again and it was painful and probably embarassing to her:

Actress Anne Hathaway says her co-star Stanley Tucci is obsessed with her breasts.

The 'Devil Wears Prada' actress revealed her cheeky colleague would repeatedly elbow her in the chest to demonstrate his fondness of her assets.

She said: "He would just smack me in my boob and elbow me.

"It really hurt, so, after about the fourth time, I finally said, 'Stanley, can you please stay away from my t**s?'"

However, the curvaceous brunette insists Tucci wasn't deterred by her request.

She added: "He got really flustered and said, 'What do you expect? You're flinging those melons around like its harvest season'."

What an asshole! I would kill the guy - after I sued him for sexual harassment. I'm serious, there's no way I would tolerate being treated like that by a coworker.

There shouldn't be different rules for performers and office workers - when you're on the job, you're not supposed to grab people. Tucci should know better.

Sure some of the sexual harassment guidelines are a bit strict, and some people like to talk smack, but sexual jokes and comments - if they're not directed at someone or threatening - are much different than elbowing someone in the chest and telling them they're "flinging their melons" around.

Stanley Tucci does not have a fabulous career, and he does not deserve one if this is how he treats women.

Another actor who probably deserves his career slump is Ben Affleck. Director Kevin Smith said Affleck engaged in the bizarre practice of sneaking up behind him while he was sitting and putting his balls on Smith's bare neck while they were working. Christina Applegate also said that Ben put his "junk" on a suitcase during filming for "Surviving Christmas." Maybe now that he's a father he'll keep his "junk" in his pants where it belongs.

Here is Hathaway outside Nobu restaurant on 6/12 with her boyfriend, real estate developer Raffaello Follieri. She is also seen in InStyle Magazine, and in one candid at "The Devil Wears Prada" after party on 6/19.

Britney is defensive and dumb in her Dateline interview

The vacation is still on, but we're back posting sooner than expected because it's just not work to us to talk trash about celebrities.

In Britney's Dateline Interview she comes off defensive, rude, and dumb. She's even chewing gum, just like when she was announcing her pregnancy on Letterman! At one point she breaks down and cries when Lauer asks her "what do you think it will take to get the paparrazi to leave you alone?" While I feel sorry for her and don't blame her for crying, she didn't handle the first part of the questioning well at all.

She says of the incident where Child Protective Services visited her for Sean Perston's high chair fall that "they didn't have to come, the doctor there made them come because I didn't bring my doctor there with me." The doctor there made them come because her child was injured and they're required by law to contact Children and Family Services. That's idiotic to suggest the reason was because she didn't bring another doctor. She seems not to understand that is how CPS works.

When asked by Lauer if she tripped on her pants during the near baby-drop fiasco, she says, "I think, uh, actually, I didn't trip on anything, there was, a NY street, it was cobblestone... I think it was mixture of so many paparrazi and just how the road was all messed up, me just trying to get in the car." The road was perfecly flat and paved and not cobblestone at all. I live in Europe where there are real cobblestone streets and people manage to walk around holding all sorts of shit without stumbling and falling.

No fucking mention of the highball glass she was carrying at the time, and no admission of even partial guilt or regret for the incident. She blows it off, saying "accidents happen" and using the ridiculous example of her brother's multiple motorcycle accident at age 13 as a comparison. "Stuff happens with kids," she explains. Britney, you fucking idiot, you have total responsibility for your baby's safety and he's not the same as an adolescent boy.

She says she was crying afterwards because people were trying to take her picture, not because she almost hurt Sean. She also cals a woman ignorant for trying to take her picture at the time. "Ignorant" is not an adjective Britney should introduce into a conversation.

"There will be plenty more oopses, I'm human." Yes you are, and you're richer than 99.99% of the world. You can fucking hire someone to help you talk to the press and act like you actually take responsibility for your actions and care about your infant son.

"You have to realize that we're people, and we need privacy, and we need respect. Those are just things that you have to have as a human." This is your job, Britney, figure it out. The paparrazi are terrible and all but you need to find a better way to cope.

She does seem to love Sean even though she won't admit to any guilt or responsibility for his frequent safety mishaps.

Later in the interview she's in her element when talking about her music and her work, and she explains her brief involvement with the Kabbalah cult well. She has a new clothing line for children coming out, called "Baby Soul Rock and Roll," and she seems quite excited and happy about it.

While things seem to be looking up for her, she needs professional media coaching and she should never have done this interview.

Here is the relevant part of the interview:

This is part four in the series. Here are the earlier parts of Britney's interview:

Britney's Dateline Interview Part 1 of 4
Britney's Dateline Interview Part 2 of 4

Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton screw charities

Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton should start their own phony foundation, because they've both been caught pledging money to charity and not paying up.

Jackson recorded a song called "What more can I give?" which was supposed to benefit the families of 9/11 victims. The answer to the song title is "not much," because he never released that song or another "charity" tune he claimed would aid Katrina victims. He planned to give CD sales profits to charity, but wanted to retain full copyright and legal rights to the songs, which would have made him a fortune in residuals.

These details came out in a lawsuit against Jackson by a business associate who claims Jackson owes him more than $3 million for loans and fees related to producing television shows on his behalf. Jackson says the guy who is suing him has a quarter million dollars worth of his sculptures and art, but if his claims are true would you blame him for snagging some of Jackson's paintings in exchange for not getting paid?

Two years ago Paris Hilton pledged to organize a concert to benefit an Australian charity for sick children. She never followed through or gave a donation. She ignored the charity's attempts to contact her, and managed to screw them out of even more money by falsely stating that she was helping them, causing people to think they had a donation windfall, and significantly decreasing their contributions:

Efforts by Paradise Kids to reach Hilton have been ignored. It was hoped the money raised from Hilton's concert would help complete an on-site hospice, but instead the charity has actually lost money because of Hiltons self serving claims. Three months after Hiltons promise, she told an Aussie magazine that the publicity she gave the charity boosted public awareness, which resulted in $500,000 in new donations. Paradise Kids co-founder Reverend Dr. Ian Mavor says that claim is not only false but has greatly damaged the group's fundraising activities. "The impact is people think we don't need their help and we do."

Sounds like Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton only want to get rich and hoard it by buying loads of worthless shit for themselves. Who would have guessed that about them?

There are always a shitload of pictures of Paris, which is why I snuck her worthless ass into this story about Michael Jackson. I threw most of the new pictures of her into a post yesterday about her fight with Lindsay Lohan, but here's her near nipple-slip outside the Regis and Kelly show again in case you missed it.

Jay-Z says Cristal is racist and he's boycotting it

The hip-hop community has given Cristal champage tons of free publicity by consuming it by the case, mentioning it in songs, and opening their fridges on the MTV show "Cribs" to show chilled bottles. As a result, Cristal has become a household name:

Rapper Biggie Smalls (a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G.), who was gunned down in 1997, is believed to have been the first performer to mention Cristal. He started off elegizing Moet & Chandon Champagne, then switched to "Cristal forever" on the song "Brooklyn's Finest" on Jay-Z's album "Reasonable Doubt." References to Cristal started popping up in the lyrics of Lil' Kim, Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, Jay-Z and 50 Cent. The latter has apparently launched what sounds like an inner-city sampling campaign with his hit song "Rotten Apple," in which he's "teachin' the hoodrats what Cristal taste like."

Jay-Z, who opened 40/40 last year, proposes trading his Cristal for extreme intimacy with a young woman in the video, "I Just Wanna Love You" -- the camera zooms in on a designer refrigerator full of the bubbly. In another video, "Big Pimpin'," he brandishes his drink on a yacht -- just the kind of "livin' large atmospherics" that brand managers love. (In fact, so many rap videos feature Cristal that Dr. Evil, the archrival of Austin Powers, both played by Mike Myers, did a hilarious parody of them in the movie "Austin Powers in Goldmember.")

Critics charge that whatever the image benefits -- rappers have given Cristal street credibility (and sales) that advertising could never buy...

Cristal is made by Champagne producer Louis Roederer from the best grapes from 500 acres of vineyards in northern France, and is aged in oak for five years. Even in a good year, only 65,000 six-bottle cases are made; in bad years, it's not produced at all. That happened three times during the 1990s.

That scarcity is a source of consternation for hip-hop stars who like to take Cristal along when they travel. P. Diddy spent $80,000 on four methuselahs (the equivalent of eight 750-ml bottles) of Cristal while chillin' in St. Tropez, according to the British newspaper the Observer, and for his 29th birthday at New York's Cipriani restaurant, he set up six free-flowing Champagne bars -- the tab was $500,000. Jay-Z even takes Cristal onstage.

Such antics have an impact. New York-based Scarborough Research found that people who have attended a hip-hop concert are 77 percent more likely than the general public to buy Champagne. And a recent study by New Media Strategies, a research company in Washington, D.C., showed that 60 percent of consumers who consider themselves hip-hop fans are likely to buy products mentioned by rappers.

The managing director of Cristal, Frederic Rouzaud, expressed misgivings about rappers endorsement of his brand in a new article in The Economist, stating that he views the attention with "curiosity and serenity." Nevermind the fact that hip hop stars are his biggest customers. He's afraid they could damage the brand's precious blue blood image, and said that rappers can go drink another kind of champagne:

Asked by the Economist about whether associations with rap stars could affect the marque, new managing director Frederic Rouzaud said: "That's a good question, but what can we do? We can't forbid people from buying it. I'm sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business."

Powerful rap mogul Jay-Z has called Rouzaud on his snotty racist remarks and is refusing to drink Cristal or sell it at his 40/40 sports bar.

"It has come to my attention that the managing director of Cristal, Frederic Rouzaud views the 'Hip-Hop' culture as 'unwelcome attention,'" said Jay-Z. "I view his comments as racist and will no longer support any of his products through any of my various brands including The 40/40 Club nor in my personal life."

The head of Cristal is such an asshole and if he doesn't issue a retraction soon we hope the hip hop community will call an all out boycott on the drink. He's new so maybe the board of directors or the company will fire him for making such a stupid comment. We hope Diddy will speak out next. If those idiots at Cristal don't want all the business and free publicity then they can go back to selling the shit to country clubs and estate parties and see how their exclusive attitude makes sales tank.

Former playmate Stephanie Adams threatens bloggers

BlogNYC ran a story about former playmate Stephanie Adams going batshit on a cabbie and then suing the NYPD for $5 million for being rough (topless photos NSFW) while arresting her for it. Adams promptly encouraged her "friends" on MySpace to bash BlogNYC and another reporting blog. Her "friends'" comments on the post are ad hominem attacks against the author, calling him "shitty" and criticizing the fact that he dared post a recap of the story. The papers who originally reported the story must have been beyond Adams' wrath since they don't accept comments.

Adams also sent a nasty all-caps e-mail to BlogNYC, threatening legal action if they didn't remove the photos they posted from her 14 year-old cheesy Playboy spread and dizzying mySpace. She tried to play herself off as her own shrieking publicist, but she couldn't hide behind her bad prose and caps lock.

BESIDES THE FACT THAT YOUR ARTICLE IS CRASS AND IGNORANT, THE PHOTOS YOU HAVE STOLEN AND ADDED ON YOUR WEB SITE... ARE COPYRIGHT MATERIAL FROM PLAYBOY AS WELL AS GODDESSY AND MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY.

YOU HAVE 24 HOURS TO REMOVE THESE PHOTOS OR WE WILL TAKE THE

DIRECTLY.

Poor Adams has to resort to yelling and citing her status as an author to get her point across, because she doesn't have the "capital" to sue over a critical blog post.

Adams is an out and proud lesbian, so while she's in touch with her sexuality she's not quite as aware of her personal failings. She believes she's some kind of psychic and offers "love readings," and "tarot readings" for $100 payable by PayPal on her website. The commentors attacking BlogNYC for writing an article about her are the same people who shell out $100 to get her shouted metaphysical e-advice.

She clearly has low self esteem. In an image caption on the front page of her website she writes "I never really cared about how others see me as much as I care about how I see myself when I look in the mirror." She's protesting too much. If that was true she wouldn't bother writing a single e-mail trying to silence bloggers.

These are Adams' MySpace pictures. So while her Playboy pictures might be copyrighted these pictures legally belong to MySpace, not her.

Kid Party Girl Lindsay Lohan needs a reality check

Lindsay Lohan seemed like she was moderately improving. She didn't strike back at Paris Hilton or Brandon Davis for the firecrotch rant video, and she may have even made up with Paris depending on how you interpret the story. She also admitted to not being able to stay in a committed relationship. She came off as a sympathetic slutty character for a week or two. Then she had to go and open her mouth again.

A few weeks ago she told Matt Lauer that she's the "hardest working person" she knows.

In an interview in Harper's Bazaar, she takes her frenetic self perception to a new level by claiming that she's gone through more in her coke-fueled 19.75 years than most people have in a lifetime. Yeah, that's how you see the world when you're jacked up on coke.

"(I don't) need to do any more kid movies," Lohan tells Harper's Bazaar magazine in their upcoming issue. "The word kid makes you feel like a child. Someone I dated called me kid all the time. I hated it... I've been through more than some people have in lifetimes..."

As for her reputation as living in the fast lane, Lohan says people make too much of her busy lifestyle. "People like to think that just because I’m young and like to enjoy my life, I'm some crazy party girl," Lohan says. "I hate the term party girl – I hate it."

"I'm in this career for the longevity of it," she adds, "not just for doing everything too fast and then running out of steam."

These few quotes by Lohan provide a lot of fodder to rip on her.

It's completely out of touch and arrogant for Lohan to say she's been through more than most people - not some people - have in a lifetime. She shleps around handbags that are worth more than a large percentage of families in the world take home in a year. (Disclosure: I am totally superficial and would carry these same purses if I could afford it.) Doing a lot of drugs, guys, and shopping is not in the same hardship league as not being able to put food on the table.

In terms of Lohan saying that she's in it for the long term and doesn't want to run out of steam, that seems like a legimate concern she should have. Lohan is partying like a mad woman, and she's linked with a new guy every week. It's all well and good to say you have trouble settling down, but being known for going to the bathroom a lot and having catfights with models who date your older fuckbuddies isn't going to do much for her career. She needs to actually calm down and stay home for a while if she wants to be taken seriously. (And it's probably Brett Ratner who called her "kid," because don't all directors use that term?)

So let's call Lindsay Lohan "Kid Party Girl" from now on. It seems to bother her much more than "Firecrotch."

Here she is at a Cartier event looking completely sober.

Russell Crowe is a needy manipulator

An article in the Sydney Morning Herald discusses how Russell Crowe tried to manipulate a journalist into writing positive stories about him, with the promise of becoming his publicist. Crowe had the guy and his wife over to his house several times, initially asking him to promote his sophmoric album to his friends in the press corps. He offered to pay him for his services, but the writer, who has a family and could have used the money, refused for moral reasons.

The journalist, Jack Marx, soon discovered how Crowe gets lauded in the press - he pulls this same buddy scam with tons of journalists, and even phones people personally to discuss negative articles about him.

Crowe befriended Marx and groomed him to write an article about him while he was promoting "Cinderella Man." Marx initially refused, saying he was too close to Crowe to be objective. Crowe insisted though, and Marx went through with it. When the article came out and it was cautiously positive and believable instead of kissing Crowe's ass - Crowe turned on him and dumped him as a friend.

And it was during these times that I saw evidence of something that made me wince - Crowe's bizarre propensity for nickel-and-dime media manipulation. It seemed Russell was running his own parallel, one-man PR fix-it campaign. It was much the same as my own, but he was pitching himself to journalists while I was handling his CD. He'd go through the daily papers and call journalists in person, chastising them for perceived inexactitudes. There was nothing morally corrupt about this, but I found it a silly pastime for a man of his stature. Sometimes it did him no service at all.

He once bragged to me about how he had called a prominent Sydney gossip columnist who had been dumping on him, promising her that should she publish a positive word or two, he would grant her an exclusive interview. Like magic, a nice mention appeared in her column the following week, and the exclusive interview followed. It was doubtful, I thought, this transaction hadn't been noted by the columnist's peers, who'd consider her weak and Russell quite the meddler. If he needed an answer for why so many journalists disliked him, I thought, he need look no further.

That I was part of this nonsense was not lost on me, and at times it troubled me beyond mere embarrassment. One evening, I discussed with Russell a particular journalist who seemed to dislike him, and I suggested some approaches that might be useful in changing the journalist's mind. With a schoolboy laugh, Russell shook his head and declared that if it were too much trouble, he'd just have the bastard killed. He was joking, of course, and we both laughed a lot. But it got me to thinking: I wondered if this had ever happened in the annals of Hollywood's history with the press. Syndicates have killed for less, and we are talking about multi-million dollar estates...

What's more, I began to doubt whether my friendship with Russell Crowe was altogether exclusive. There were sightings of Russell taking long strolls with rival journalists. There was talk of him writing a book with another. On the grapevine, I heard of another Cinderella Man article in the works, the local journalist disclosing her friendship with Russell and telling of their late night chatter at the film star's north coast farm. I had been stroking my own ego with such industry it hadn't occurred to me that there may be other ponies on the same carousal.

Marx's article on Crowe came out, and was praised by other writers for presenting the bombastic actor as a decent guy with regular human failings. Crowe was mighty pissed at Marx for not making him seem better than God, and blew him off with a one-line e-mail: "Yeah, yeah, whatever."

Crowe later wrote him a longer message, completely dismissing him.

Crowe is a total asshole, and the next time you see a positive story about him in the press, realize that he most likely called the journalist or had her over for dinner. That seems to be his pasttime when he's not abusing hotel staff, trying to pass himself off as a humble singer, or getting paid millions to act in films.

The Sydney Morning Herald e-mailed me this story, and it was quite a useful tip. E-mail tips to info at celebitchy.com.

Is the Glam Network a big scam?

picture of Glam.com website with the caption - is this a big scam or just deceptive business practices?
Top gossip and fashion blogs are members of the "Glam Network," a celebrity and fashion site that partners with blogs with the promise of advertising revenue from ad placement. The Glam Network is scamming fashion and gossip bloggers into giving them massive free advertising in exchange for a small link on the Glam website and the promise of ad revenue which never materializes.

The Glam Network lures bloggers with exclusivity and .50 cents a click. After applying to join, your blog might get approved about a month later and you're sent a lengthy contract that states that Glam will pay you .50 cents a click for third party ads, which they can swap out with ads for Glam.com at their discretion. This sounds like a decent deal and it seems better than the payout for AdSense or CrispAds.

Glam never explains the contract in simple terms, and there are no Terms of Service or FAQs for Glam Network bloggers on their website.

In order to finalize your membership you're required to place one Glam ad, either 160x600, 300x250, or 728x90 on your site, along with a small Glam membership logo and a 160x200 Glam "Module" which features content from Glam. Most sites choose the large 728x90 vertical banner, assuming they're getting .50 cents a click.

Here's the relevant part of the contract:

Glam will pay the Blog $.50 for every click through that is generated from the Blog site to the third-party advertisers site from the ad placed on the Bloggers site. When no Banners from third-party advertisers are placed in the Advertising on the Blog, Glam shall at its option, place Glam.com Banners in the Advertising unit at no cost to Glam.

The thing is - Glam doesn't give any payout for its own ads, and third party ads are rarely, if ever, seen. It also doesn't offer any real time statistics or network blog control panel. Get this - you have to e-mail them to request statistics and then take their word on it.

It is incredibly rare to see a third party ad on a Glam Network blog, and the Standard Blog Contract states that Glam can swap out the ads with free Glam ads at their discretion.

Celebitchy was approved for the Glam Network and we signed the contract this week. We got suspicious after we realized that we wouldn't receive any paying ads for a while, and that there were no statistics available.

Our contact at Glam e-mailed us:

Yes it is 50 cents per click for non -Glam ads. We do offer a small amount [of ad revenue] for the non-Glam ads to blogs that have very high traffic. If you would like we can revisit in a couple of months and if your traffic has increased we have no problem revising the contract. I hope this answers your questions.

I answered:

How do I get non-glam ads?

We take care of that for you. We rotate the ads and alternate between 3rd party and Glam ads...The higher the traffic and the better ctr rate of your blog the more 3rd party ads you get.

When we checked, only one Glam network blog had an ad that wasn't for Glam.com. We e-mailed with a top gossip blog that gets a huge amount of traffic and they said that they've had Glam ads up since April and only saw a third party ad appear occasionally at the beginning of this month, June

No one has ever been paid by Glam that we could verify. That same top gossip site told us that they've never seen a dime from Glam despite having their ads up since April.

Two other gossip bloggers told us they assumed they would be receiving .50/click for the huge ads on their site from Glam, and did not realize that there was no payout for Glam.com ads.

Glam is a much worse deal than CrispAds or AdSense because you don't get paid for every click - you get paid when Glam decides to throw you a bone, but they haven't paid anyone yet!

Glam might continue to get away with this because bloggers are afraid of being sued. The contract that we signed states that we have to give Glam 90 days notice before removing their ads.

We suggest that everyone who thought they would be receiving .50 a click for Glam ads remove them immediately.

To be fair, they did withdraw our contract without penalty when we requested it a day after signing up.

Once Glam tries to sue us for reporting this, we'll let you know. We're not going to take this down if they threaten us.

Update: One blogger claims to have been paid "not much" in March, but another e-mailed us to ask if we'd been paid, and said "Have you gotten paid yet? Not just told how much you're getting paid, but have you actually gotten paid? I haven't and it's been over a month." We only had Glam ads up for a day, so they're never going to pay us.

Christina Aguilera "regrets" that Britney wasn't at the MTV movie awards

Highlighting the fact that she's happily married and hot as ever with a thriving career while Britney Spears, well - isn't, Christina Aguilera said that she's oh so broken up by the fact that Britney couldn't make it to the MTV movie awards this year:

"It's a shame Britney doesn't go to any shows or awards anymore, because they are so much fun, even if you're not nominated for things, I miss seeing how hot she looked on red carpets and seeing her at awards and shows was the only times we really had time to catch up with each other because we're both so busy".

In case you want to give Aguilera the benefit of the doubt and don't think this is a dig at Britney, read what she said about Britney's wedding with K-Fed two years ago:

Christina Aguilera, meanwhile, branded the Spears-Federline wedding as "trashy, pathetic and low rent." "It's surprising,” Aguilera said at the time. “The whole affair seems somewhat pathetic."

They may have served chicken wings and hamburgers, but the wedding wasn't all that trashy. A rare hand-beaded invitation to the Spears-Federline wedding along with an initialed party favor candle is for sale on eBay for nearly $1,000. The favors were classy even if the relationship never will be. The eBay seller should have waited until the divorce announcement in order to drive up the price.

Here's trash-talking Christina Aguilera at The Ivy with her husband on June 2nd. She looks pretty tipsy, and it's not the first time.

Dita Von Teese thinks she's better than other strippers

If Dita Von Teese hadn't married Marilyn Manson her career would never have taken off. I'd never heard of her before she married Manson.

She's a stripper with fancy accessories. You can call it burlesque or any name you like, but she's taking off her clothes to music. There's nothing wrong with that, but she seems all snotty and self-satisfied as if she's acting in art films rather than giving people a glimpse of her goods.

Dita stripped for Hugh Heffner's 80th birthday party in Paris on 5/29. TMZ has a lousy video of her stripping that isn't worth the wait. Listen to the crap she says about other strippers:

"There's a lot of candy-coated non-burlesque burlesque going on in this city,' said the vampy dancer, "I think somebody needs to remember that burlesque wasn't just about a style or wearing fishnets and hot pants and dancing sexy, it was about the strip tease and the art of the strip tease."

So, you're saying that you gyrate better Dita? I mean, you're good at your job and all but you're a stripper. Get over yourself. If you weren't Mrs. Marilyn Manson you wouldn't be famous.

Dita and Marilyn aren't going to last. She's too full of herself.

Here's a link to a high quality YouTube NSFW video of Dita stripping in New Orleans. (I would have included it here, but embedding is disabled for this video.)

Dita Von Teese says celebrities are forgettable (includes strip video)

Dita Von Teese, the burlesque stripper wife of Marilyn Manson, is getting too big for her glam britches. She somehow thinks that showing up for stuff and taking off her clothes qualifies her to deem most starlets "forgettable":

She says, "So many people look like they are a product of a team of stylists. We'll remember Madonna And Cher. But a lot of people will be totally forgettable."

Who remembers Cher at all? I don't. And Madonna is only memorable for pulling tired ass stunts this week.

Dita, you look like you're the product of a team of retro stylists, so what are you talking about? You're balanced precariously half a step up from an average stripper. Cultivating a 40s image and being Mrs. Marilyn Manson doesn't give you enough credit to bash women who star in actual films.

Here's a shaky NSFW video of a Dita strip show:

And here she is shopping in NY [via] and at Cannes. Now that I've read this quote from her, I realize that the serene look she always sports is just her being smug.

Paris Hilton calls Lindsay Lohan a c*nt; gets barred from another party

According to the NY Daily News, Paris Hilton played an angry voice message for friends from Lindsay Lohan, in which Lohan had some things to say about the "firecrotch" video featuring Paris and a drunken Brandon Davis.

The most hated bitch in the world, aka Paris Hilton played pals in Cannes a voice message from an angry Lindsay Lohan — and called Lohan the C-word, according to a spy spilling to NY daily News. Lindsay's anger stems from an incident last week when Z list, greasy Brandon Davis slammed her, calling her a fire crotch. During Davis's comments , Paris Hilton held her phone up so a friend could hear, as she smiled and laughed.

Now Paris'... publicist says [he] has never heard Paris used the C-word

Paris' rep argues, "I've never heard her use that word."

Lindsay admits she's "mad" at Paris and her sidekick Brandon Davis.

Maybe Lindsay will realize that the firecrotch video is the best thing to happen to her image since she was rumored to be considering charity work at an unspecified time in the future. She should just suck and up and relish her status as a victim this week.

Paris has been partying in Cannes, and picked up $200,000 just for showing up at a charity event. She couldn't have even bought her way into a Vanity Fair party, though.

Socialite Paris Hilton's feud with Vanity Fair is continuing across the Atlantic - she was banned from the magazine's party at the Cannes Film Festival in France. The glossy publication hosted a star-studded bash at Cannes' prestigious Hotel du Cap on Saturday night and despite Hilton's presence on the French Riviera, she was kept out of the event, PageSix.com reports.

In March Hilton was banned from the magazine's annual post-Oscar bash at Morton's Restaurant after she was blacklisted by the magazine's editor Graydon Carter. Carter said, "Paris who? She will never attend one of the parties I host."

That's awesome that bird face can't get into any more Vanity Fair parties. If only she would get banned from an entire country like Snoop Dogg.

Here she is in Cannes at the X-men 3 premiere and out shopping with Caroline D'Amore. Did you notice that we didn't post any pictures of her for two days? This took a lot of restraint.

We don't really like Heather Mills McCartney

I didn't pay much attention to Heather Mills in the past, and my opinion of her was positive and based on the fact that she's an animal activist and an amputee who just seems to shrug off her disability. Now that she's getting a divorce from Paul McCartney, all these stories of her opportunism have come out. Of course Mills and McCartney have denied that she married him for his money, and maybe that's true. That doesn't mean you have to like her, though.

The PopBitch newsletter posted this link to the official "Facts" on Heather's website, and she sounds so reactionary and full of herself that I can't help but come away with a negative opinion of her. Maybe she just has a terribly aggressive publicist, but why would she justify personal attacks with such vehement denials? Here's just one of the Fact vs. Fiction reports on her website, which are highlighted on the page in ugly red and green:

FICTION: "Heather’s failure when interviewing Paul Newman on Larry King Live"

FACT: "Contrary to spiteful reports in the British press, Heather’s interview with Paul Newman on CNN’s “Larry King Live” was very well received, particularly by Paul Newman himself. His publicist of over 40 yrs, Warren Cowan wrote the following day: “Wonderful Job! I cannot tell you how many people have raved to me about your interview with Paul (Newman). He was delighted with it. So was I. The fact that the hour flew by so quickly is a testament to your interviewing skills. Take a bow, Heather, A Deep One”….

Wendy Whitworth (Executive Vice President of CNN & Senior Executive Producer of Larry King Live): "Heather came to the desk prepared for the spotlight. She was meticulous in her research and thorough in her presentation. Once again, Heather demonstrated her abilities with her well-known poise and intelligence"

Larry King: "Heather was a smart, charming and gracious guest host. She was very well prepared. I had no doubt! I would love for her to be my resident host "

Paul Newman: "She seduces you into feeling stylishly confident.""

It goes on to rebut many other "fictions" about Mills in a similar snotty, over-the-top tone. Even if Mills isn't writing that crap herself, she would surely have to approve it. WTF?

McCartney's children, including fashion designer Stella McCartney, are said to dislike Mills and go out of their way to avoid her.

An editorial in Britian's Telegraph lays out the case for disliking Mills:

According to his friends, it was her criticism and nagging that pushed [McCartney] over the edge - a paradoxical accusation for a woman who, in her new self-help book, Life Balance, to be published next week, gives us her tips for "spiritual, physical and emotional" happiness.

Although it is hardly unusual for children to be enthusiastic about a stepmother, the silence from Paul McCartney's three children from his first marriage has been deafening. Fashion designer Stella, in particular, has done little to hide her disapproval of Heather. At the Live8 concert last year, she very publicly moved away from Heather, not wanting to talk to her father in his wife's presence and also ensuring there were no happy-family photo opportunities.

Few, it seems, have a good word to say for her. Geoff Baker, Paul McCartney's long-standing press officer, was dismissed last year, reportedly at Heather's instigation after falling out with her. At the time, Baker would say nothing on the subject, but his next move spoke volumes. He took a job as an editor of a golfing magazine and chose for the cover of his first issue a nude Heather McCartney lookalike with a golf ball resting on her cleavage.

Unfortunately Heather Mills is said to now require a wheelchair to get around as she recovers from an amputation surgery and copes with the stress from the dissolution of her marriage. That's too bad, but it doesn't mean she deserves our pity or our admiration.

She is due to put out a book next month, called "Life Balance," in which she refutes claims that she married McCartney for his wealth.

In her upcoming book she says that being called a golddigger was "worse than losing my leg." She has also cancelled a launch party for the book. Given the circumstances that's probably a good idea.

Friends say that the couple broke up after four years partly because Heather hated the adoration McCartney received, and refused to join him on tour. She was also said to have criticized McCartney's style, and to have attempted to makeover his image.

If she's such a great person she wouldn't work so hard to tell everyone about it.

Everyone's talking about Brandon Davis' rant on Lindsay Lohan

The NY Post reports on the video on TMZ you've most likely seen in which Brandon Davis goes on a creative drunken rant on Lindsay Lohan. Paris Hilton and Caroline D'Amore giggle in the background, but Paris doesn't add much except to say that Lindsay's movie bombed. Near the end of the footage she asks Davis "Whose movie bombed?" to get him to say "firecrotch" yet again.

Davis repeatedly refers to Lohan as "firecrotch" and makes bizarre declarations about her personal hygiene and private parts, all while Hilton eggs him on.

Perhaps most grotesquely, Davis sneers of Lohan, "I think she's worth about seven million, which means she's really poor. It's disgusting. She lives in a motel."

But Lohan found a unique way to exact revenge upon her former friend Hilton at Bungalow 8 early yesterday morning. She was spotted making out with Paris' ex-boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos, when she wasn't hanging out with Barton and pirate-costumed fashion designer John Galliano. Take that, Paris!

As we've mentioned here, Davis decided not to be friends with Paris a while ago and claimed it was because Paris was a racist, citing her use of the "N" word and bigotry against Jews. The Post notes that Davis is a hypocrite because he jokingly asks in the video if Wilmer Valderrama is "in a mariachi band."

Davis dated Mischa Barton for about a year until she broke up with him in the spring of 2005. People say Barton was annoyed by the tight control the oil heir's family had over his finances, and how he had to ask for money for everything. He was most recently tied to Camilla al-Fayed, the daughter of Harrods owner Mohamed al-Fayed, but it's doubtful that they're still together based on the way he's been acting.

The Gallery of the Absurd has a new illustration of Davis as shown above, picturing the bloated oil heir with unflattering adjectives spewing forth from his oversized head.

The video reminded me of college, in which liquored-up do-nothings would talk smack about each other after going out to clubs. No one cared what my friends had to say, though.

Davis is rather gross and stupid, but you have to admit that "firecrotch" is a pretty clever nickname for Lohan and we will enjoy referring to her as such in the future. As the NY Post notes, she was seen yet again with Stavros Niarchos, Paris' ex. She also spent the night a few days ago with Paris' other ex, Paris Latsis, but he must not have been on hand for a quick revenge screw when she needed him.

Here's a non-censored and slightly different version of the video. The paparrazi are calling Davis "Stavros"!
Someone added a classical intro and "Firecrotch" title. So great.

And here is Paris on the night in question, in which she attended Janet Jackson's 40th birthday party [via]

Update: Paris' publicist has responded to the incident, emphasizing that Paris was not the one bashing Lohan.

Adriana Lima has a prince pussy-whipped - without the pussy

The Bastardly's sexiest woman of 2006, self-professed virgin and Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima, smacked her royal boyfriend across the face at his own birthday party:

Arriving late at P.M. Lounge at Friday's birthday party for her boyfriend, Prince Wence of Lichtenstein, part of the wealthiest royal family of Europe with $4 billion, she marched up to the birthday boy and slapped him across the face. (Maybe he forgot to send a car to pick her up.) "Then she went to the bar with a girlfriend," said a bystander. "Ten minutes later, she came back, picked up the prince's jacket, grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out the door." Presumably, they soon made up and the prince's birthday ended happily.

It's reassuring that there are models so sure of themselves that they don't worry about pissing off princes worth billions. Little girls dream of marrying princes and being sweet perfect wives. Maybe thanks to Adriana Lima's example some of them will realize that they don't have to put out or be nice to rule rich and powerful men. All is takes is sex appeal, nerve, and holding out.

Here she is at a Victoria's Secret fragrance promotion on 5/10.

People hate Bush more than Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise may be a crazy cult spokesperson, but he didn't lie to start a war that's squandering all our nation's resources, and resulting in soldier and civilian deaths by the thousands.

US Weekly compares Tom's approval rating with the pResident's, and notes that Tom's is slightly higher:

From today’s edition of USA Today:

According to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll over the weekend when Mission: Impossible III opened to $47.7 million, about $12 million less than expected, the public has lost its loving feeling for Tom Cruise. When 1,013 adults were asked their opinion of Cruise, 35% were favorable and 51% unfavorable.

From Wednesday’s edition of USA Today:

President Bush’s approval rating has slumped to 31% in a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the lowest of his presidency and a warning sign for Republicans in the November elections.The survey of 1,013 adults, taken Friday through Sunday, shows Bush’s standing down by 3 percentage points in a single week.

It just goes to show you that acting crazy and hating psychiatric drugs is less damning that ruining the middle east and getting a lot of people killed. Now if only much-deserved impeachment hearings were started, we might get rid of world's worst pResident of all time.

It seems like low box office numbers could help tone down Cruise's career. Mission Impossible 3 isn't doing as well as expected. It's not exactly tanking, though.

According to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll over the weekend when Mission: Impossible III opened to $47.7 million, about $12 million less than expected, the public has lost its loving feeling for Tom Cruise.

It would certainly be a welcome change if both Bush and Cruise would ride/fly off into the sunset.

J.Lo gets skewered in new work of "fiction"

A new chick lit book whilch the author claims is based on celebrity in general, not Jennifer Lopez specifically, is so close to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's story that it's not fooling anyone. The author, Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, has the arrogant J.Lo character cheat on Ben Affleck with Marc Anthony in a bid to boost her career:

"Make Him Look Good" is about a male Latin pop sensation, the international crossover star, Ricky Biscayne, who has rekindled his affair with Jill Sanchez. So what do we know about her?

She is engaged to "the boyishly handsome and patently non-Hispanic actor and screenwriter Jack Ingroff." Formerly Sanchez dated "a mealy-mouthed" rapper named D-Kitty, until the night "some dudes in his crew" shot another rapper.

"The public seems to have forgotten all about how the gun was found stashed beneath her very own seat in the Escalade limo, or about how she'd worn a bandanna around her head like a gang member..."

Sanchez "in her own estimation, is the sexiest, cleanest woman alive." She's lifted her style of pairing innocence with lust, pretending to be "surprised by her own sexy gyrations," from Britney Spears. Botox and belly lipo are her friends.

Sensitive Ingroff hopes that "some of Jill's cruelty will rub off on him." Sanchez has never learned the name of anyone who works for her. Her clothing line is the product of a team of designers who get no credit. In the recording studio, she's vicious to the very producers who are digitally manufacturing her voice.

In fact, the only time Sanchez delivers an Oscar-worthy performance is when she's pretending to be a professional singer "getting ready to lay down some kick-ass tracks." As if.

Imperious, demanding and dismissive, Sanchez uses humiliation as a motivational tool on her staff. In meetings, no one is allowed to speak directly to her unless she first gives permission.

The lead character periodically puts her hands on her stomach during photocalls to drum up press speculation about her pregnancy status, and tries to train her husband to be more media-savvy and manipulative.

The author, Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez admits that "There are some anecdotes in there based on experiences that I or people I knew had with Jennifer Lopez." No kidding. She also claims that members of J.Lo's staff approached her and told her that the book was dead-on.

That sounds really juicy and it's sure to be a best seller!

Here's her royal highness herself at Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People party yesterday.

Star Jones to really get the boot from "The View"

Everyone was speculating that Star Jones wasn't long for The View after straight-talking Rosie O'Donnell was handpicked by Barbara Walters to replace Meredith Vieira. It turns out that people were right, because Page Six is reporting that an insider has confirmed that Star will be exiting the show.

STAR Jones Reynolds has been told to hitch up her hefty wagonload of freebies and waddle off into the sunset, sources say.

ABC will announce this week that the big-boned talking head is out at "The View," a source close to the inner workings of the late-morning gabfest tells Page Six. What network brass won't say is that she's being unceremoniously ousted at the direct behest of the show's grand dame Barbara Walters and the incoming Rosie O'Donnell.

"It was always Rosie's condition of joining the show, and Barbara agreed to those conditions from the outset," our source said. The network and Jones are now concocting a face-saving scenario in which Jones will be touted as moving on to pursue important new projects.

How Jones' star has fallen - just a few weeks ago, she had hoped to succeed Meredith Vieira as the moderator of the crew.

But Walters wasn't going to let that happen because "she hates her. Really can't stand her," a source told us last week. O'Donnell was recruited quickly after Vieira announced she was jumping to "Today."

Oprah's best friend, Gayle King, is said to be considered for Star's soon to be vacant post. We can't wait to see what crappy non-job Star gets next. She'll probably be out of work for a while until she breaks down and becomes the spokesperson for a diet or fitness-related product. She's already shilling payless shoes, and has no scruples about what she'll endorse to get free shit or cash.

Here she is with her husband at the The Playboy Club party on 5/5 hosted by the 2006 Playboy Playmate of The Year. At least she doesn't have to worry about him checking out the bunnies.

David Blaine's stupid stunt predictably fails

David Blaine surprised no one by not being able to break the world's record for holding one's breath underwater after spending a week beating the crap out of his body by living in a water globe in Lincoln Center for people to gawk at.

He started spurting bubbles nearly two minutes short of the record, and divers came to his pitiful rescue:

Blaine was trying to free himself from chains and handcuffs while bidding to break the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds for holding one's breath underwater. The stunt, following a weeklong endurance challenge underwater, was televised live by ABC.

With Blaine's face contorted in pain and bubbles rising to the surface, divers went in to release him from the chains and pull him out. Blaine held his breath for 7:08.

"I am humbled so much by the support of everyone from New York City and from all over the world," Blaine said. "This was a very difficult week, but you all made it fly by with your strong support and your energy. Thank you so much, everybody. ... I love you all."

After a 100-minute television preamble that showed his training techniques — including holding his breath in a tank of sharks — Blaine had sucked in his last breath before going under. Kirk Krack, his trainer and a diving expert, offered encouragement as Blaine remained nearly still for the first five minutes of his dive.

Then, methodically, he removed two of his handcuffs and was trying to remove chains that held him before the divers came in to save him.

Blaine has suffered liver damage, loss of sensation in his body, and rashes all over as a result of his deal with the devil. The long term effects of gambling with his health for publicity have yet to be determined.

I saw the highlights of the stunt on German TV, and it really made me uncomfortable. Just thinking about it while Blaine was underwater made me uncomfortable.

Blaine couldn't have expected to break the world record for holding one's breath, but he had to show how far he was willing to go. It was too far indeed.

David Blaine strikes a deal with the devil

I don't wish David Blaine any ill will, and I really hope he gets out of the bubble alive and without permanent brain damage from oxygen deprivation. He's a total fool, though, to bring his body to its breaking point and then expect to top it off by holding his breath longer than people who are in top form and have trained for years - while he's breaking out of a bunch of chains!

Blaine's skin is predictably peeling off from his week-long underwater stunt, and now he's experiencing excruciating pain throughout his body. Doctors says his muscles are breaking down and that he "might never be the same again" and could develop a seizure disorder:

David Blaine has described his seven days in a sphere of water as "horrific", saying he has never experienced pain like this before...

"I think the time has started to really take its toll on my body. It has started to become horrific in many, many ways.

"Every muscle doesn't just ache, it feels like a sharp shooting pain, like a knife being stabbed."

Blaine's skin, which has shrivlled and pruned due to the water, hurts as well, and he is very concerned for his muscles - which have begun to atrophy.

"I don't think it's permanent, but I've never felt this kind of pain in a stunt before..."

Blaine's management has refused to discuss how much he will make from his latest act, but it is certain to be in the millions, with advertising revenues alone reportedly set to top $9 million.

Doctors have already raised concerns over Blaine's health, with Dr Murat Gunel of Yale University, who is monitoring and advising the illusionist, saying on May 2 that he "might never be the same again".

He said a lack of adequate oxygen in Blaine's brain during the breath-holding challenge, especially after seven days under water, carried a risk of irreversible brain injury

"Even if he is fine immediately after, there is a risk for developing seizures in the long run.

"We all advised him against this stunt."

The bottom line is that David Blaine is making a ton of cash in a deal with the devil that could leave him with permanent health problems.

There are plenty of real people who live with chronic pain and disability. David Blaine thinks it's ok to gamble with his health for fame and fortune. He's about to find out that it's not worth it.

Update: the status of Blaine's breath-holding stunt for his two hour ABC special tonight, to air at 8:00 pm, is uncertain:

"I was basically doing breath holds on my own up 'til recently but now my long, everything, feels weaker than normal," he said.

"Frankly, right now the angle of the finale is uncertain," a source tells the New York Daily News. "They're still wrestling with how the finale will end."

"We're just not sure if he'll be able to handle it," said Kirk Krack, a free-diving expert who has been training Blaine. "If we pulled him out of the water, he likely would experience a blackout."

According to the News, blood tests have shown Blaine's body has adapted to the weightless environment by constricting his blood vessels, Krack said.

His blood plasma levels are only at 75% of normal, which means that he'll probably have to be removed from the water gradually, after the stunt is completed.

David Blaine begins another dumb ass stunt

David Blaine held the kick off press conference today at Lincoln Center for his week of living in a snow globe. As if it's not entertaining enough for us to watch Blaine be a human goldfish for a week, he'll attempt to escape from a bunch of chains and then try to break the world record for holding his breath:

The 33-year-old magician, shirtless and with an oxygen tube in his mouth, slid into his snow globe-like "human aquarium" Monday at Lincoln Center.

In a week, he will remove the device and attempt to hold his breath underwater longer than the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds.

He also will try to escape from 150 pounds of chains and handcuffs during the breath-holding finale, which will air live in a two-hour ABC special, "David Blaine: Drowned Alive," on May 8 (8 p.m. EDT).

"As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini," Blaine explained Monday.

"I don't think about death, but I am prepared for it," he said, adding that his only fear is "the fear of the unknown."

I really doubt he'll break the world record for holding your breath underwater. That's got to be next to impossible fr someone who's already worn down like that. It would have been good enough if he just lived in the water sphere for a week - he doesn't have to throw the stupid chain stunt and breath holding into the mix.

So when Blaine dies, whenever it is, his obituary will include the fact that he lived in a coffin for a week, in a see-through box without food for 44 days, and in a water globe for seven days. I would prefer that mine says that I'm survived by my children. Really, the guy is an attention hound and is going to seriously hurt himself.

Paris Hilton thinks she works hard just by showing up

Paris Hilton is getting paid half a million dollars to host a rock concert this weekend in Austria. I would work 60 hour weeks for two years straight for that kind of money and consider myself lucky as hell.

Her idea of working hard is seriously skewed. Her house is enviable though, of course.

In the pictures of Paris' Hollywood villa below that were published in Hello Magazine, you can get a sense of the "Old Hollywood" style favored by her interior designer, and see the chandeliers hanging in her closet and over her bed. She also has a huge picture of herself hanging in her lounge.

Among her memorable quotes in the article accompanying the pictures:

"I'm a brand, a model, an artiste, an actress, a designer."

"When I was a kid, I had no idea I lived in a mansion. Then I went to a friend's house, and I was like - oh!"

"I worked hard for all this. I tell girls that if you basically work hard, all your dreams will come true."

Other revelations in the article include the fact that Paris' dogs have their own gated area, and that her bed is worth nearly $20,000 USD.

Here are also some pictures of Paris celebrating Stavros Niarchos' 21st birthday at Fix Restaurant in Vegas on 4/12. The cake is just incredible.

Why is Gwyneth Paltrow going out at night already?

I don't like Gwyneth Paltrow because she's pretentious, so take my criticism or what it is - but why is she going out at night already? She just had a baby not even three weeks ago. Maybe she only popped out for a couple of hours, but newborns need to nurse about every 2-3 hours at that age. She could have pumped or he could be on formula, not that there's anything wrong with that. If she's nursing you're not supposed to introduce a bottle until they're a month old, though.

Yes, it's really snarky to criticize her for getting some time alone, but you know, she's so snotty and ungrateful that she deserves it.

Here she is at New York’s Food Bank Can-Do Awards Dinner on 4/25. Micheal Stipe was obviously there too. [via]

Jennifer Aniston wants to pullute the air with song

Jennifer Aniston winking and looking foolish with the caption I see the light
Jennifer Aniston has said that she's quit smoking. She hasn't done it for her health or for the sake of our ailing planet, no, she's quitting smoking so that she can sing in a god-awful musical:

Jennifer Aniston has given up smoking, because she wants to preserve her voice to sing in a musical.

The former Friends star has been inspired by fellow actresses Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, who surprised film fans with their vocal ability in Walk the Line and Moulin Rouge, respectively.

She says, ""I have quit the cigs so that I can get my voice in shape.""

She probably figrues that since she can only do one character and all her movies suck, she may as well try to jazz it up with a change of genre. It may work for her, and it should provide hilarious fodder to mock her with for years to come.

Jamie Foxx slept with four women all at once last week

Jamie Foxx has a career as an R&B singer that we haven't paid much attention to. At an RCA party celebrating his album last week in London, Foxx handpicked five hot women to stand next to the stage while he performed. After the show, he took four of the women into a "secret chamber" backstage with him. (One of the five the apparently had some dignity)

And after he got the screaming ladies eating out of his hand, he selected four - including an Italian and a South American - to escort him to his private lair backstage.

Beefy minders stood guard in front of the locked door to the opulent V-VIP room, which had four double beds covered with red velvet sheets, strewn with rose petals.

To complete the saucy setting, the secret chamber - filled with bottles of Cristal champagne - was lit with dodgy red lights.

For over an hour, no one was allowed to disturb the love-in and when we cheekily asked what was happening, a flunky replied: "What goes on in the boudoir, stays in the boudoir. When you're Jamie Foxx on top of the world - you can get anything you want.

"Everywhere he goes he hand-picks the women he wants to get to know. He likes having women all over the place."

During his show, Foxx skeeved everyone out when he pulled British rap star Estelle onto the stage and tried to make out with her:

The crowd, expecting a duet, were left cringing when he started slow-dancing with her and demanding kisses. He said: "Check out her lips. Kiss me, keep your lips there, mmmmmmm."

Oh please. Later, Foxx and his crew headed to Pangaea where he struck out with Sugababe Keisha Buchanan. (She turned down K-Fed, too, so Foxx is in good company.) Instead of Buchanan, Foxx is said to have settled for some other gorgeous woman.

Foxx is 38, and he must be trying to make up for lost time. The guy is not super-handsome so he's probably not used to getting ladies and is having his glut of them while he has a chance. I'm sorry, but anyone who has that much random sex at that age has a problem. Maybe a sex tape will come out to embarrass the guy and help him slow down.

Eva Longoria thinks she's too good for Desperate Housewives

Eva Longoria has revealed that she won't sign another contract with Desperate Housewives. She wants to be taken seriously as an actress and thinks she can make it on the big screen:

And Eva, 31, can't wait for the axe to fall on the ailing show, now sliding in the US ratings.

Asked how long she thought it would last, she replied: "God, I hope not past my contract. Shows wear out their welcome." The actress, who earns around [$300,000] an episode, said a break from Desperate Housewives would mean she could have children with her basketball star boyfriend Tony Parker, 23.

She added: "I want to do movies, I want to have a family and our lifestyle isn't conducive to having a family."

How snotty can she be? The show made her famous, and even if it's not as good anymore she could at least be gracious about it.

We haven't covered all the BS about how Longoria's planning on marrying her gullible boyfriend, Tony Parker, or how jealous she is of her costar Nicolette Sheridan's engagement ring, because we're really sick of her and her big mouth.

Here's the latest crap she said - she's too lazy to leave Tony Parker. That's so rude!

She is quoted in People magazine as saying: "I'd much rather be in a relationship. There's no way in the world I would rather be single. Tony is the same. I've said the only reason Tony and I are going to stay together forever is because we're too lazy to look for someone else."

That really bodes well for her relationship.

Here is Longwhoria outside The Late Show on April 17th. Nice fur collar she's wearing.

Paris freaks out without her security pillow

Mike Walker of the National Enquirer reports that Paris HIlton refused to board a plane at LAX when she discovered her Tempur-Pedic pillow wasn't with her. She demanded that she be taken to the nearest mall to buy another one, and then got sidetracked by all the pretty, shiny things:

PARIS HILTON threw a bitchy-snit at LAX when she discovered flunkies hadn't packed the "personal pillow" she always takes when she flies — and flatly refused to board her NYC flight without it! Flouncing out of the airport, Ms. Simple Life ordered her limo driver to whisk her to the Westside Pavilion mall several miles away. But after picking out a new Tempur-Pedic pillow, shop-aholic Paris couldn't resist popping into the Guess store... then Nordstrom... then Rampage... and finally ended up spending three hours — and $3,000! By that time, she'd missed her LAX plane and the next two — so the chauffeur gunned it to grab the next available flight at John Wayne Airport. And during the ride, Paris calmly catnapped on her brand-new pillow!

That's just a little bit spoiled.

Here are Paris and Starvos Niarchos III at a Lakers game recently. Niarchos will inherit $275 million when he turns 21 next week.

She is shown above with Hugh Hefner at his 80th birthday party.

Sarah Jessica Parker hates Hollywood

Sarah Jessica Parker has slammed Hollywood for making movies for dumb teen audiences:

Sarah Jessica Parker has attacked Hollywood, claiming studios only make movies for 16 year-olds. The actress accuses the system of pandering to teenagers "wanting to see movies for knuckleheads."

She says, "I remember when adults went to movies. Until about five years ago there were always adult films, and they made their money back. It wasn't such a risk. So I feel I have to compete against audience's tastes."

Parker, your last film was totally panned as insipid and predictable, and the one before that wasn't too much better. It's not like you're making thoughtful art films so who are you to complain about the industry that made you rich? Maybe you're trying to make excuses for starring in terrible films. You're starting to sound like Gwyneth Paltrow and should zip it.

Here's Parker with her husband, Matthew Broderick at "The American Theatre Wing's Annual Spring Gala Honoring Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane," on April 10th and at the Fragrance FIFI awards on April 3rd. Maybe Dr. Ruth can help her mend her lousy relationship with some old fashioned loving.

Paris Hilton: "I'm an icon"

First Paris Hilton thinks she's on par with Charlize Theron when the biggest movie to her credit is "House of Wax" and the upcoming "Pledge This" and now she thinks she's an international pop star despite not having released an album:

Hilton enthuses, "I loved doing (the album). I've always had a great voice.

"I'm an icon. You either have it or you don't. It's something you're born with."

Unfortunately her album might actually be a hit. With Three 6 Mafia on board, they will add beats and remaster her voice so that it sounds nothing like the original.

The Simpsons can never make fun of Scientology

Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, Nelson Muntz, Ralph Wiggum and Todd and Rod Flanders on The Simpsons got extremely offended by a minor veiled reference to Scientology written into The Simpsons and had it cut. Cartwright is a member of the cult of Scientology, and like Isaac Hayes she could always threaten to quit if her precious cult was satirized:

The proposed line to be spoken by Bart went something like this, “Mormonism? That’s the second freakiest religion in America!”

One guess who must be the first “freakiest”?

Cartwright certainly got the joke, but she didn’t like it, so the show dumped it according to insiders.

So even a purported allusion to Scientology got the axe at the Fox show.

No one would dare cross Cartwright - she's essential to the show as the voice of Bart and it would be impossbile to replace her. The Simpsons did kill off one character. Maude Flanders died when it was rumored that voice actress Maggie Roswell asked for a raise in 1999. The Simpsons' cast also held a strike in the spring of 2004. It was resolved within a few weeks with a new multiyear contract, the details of which were not disclosed.

Scientology is such a powerful cult that they can dictate the plot of the worlds' most popular and longest running cartoon series. That's fucking wrong, and those people need to be stopped. The best way to counter Scientology is by learning about how ridiculous and exploitive it is and talking about it with people you know. It's not a legitimate religion and it should not have tax free status in America.

Naomi Campbell is still getting work

Naomi Campbell is still working as a model after hitting her maid so hard with a cell phone that she couldn't see straight and required stitches.

Campbell was in Geneva, Switzerland yesterday working for Mont Blanc. She wore the most expensive and dangerous watch Mont Blanc has ever made. Also present was model Marcus Schenkenberg, who looked bemused. Johnny Depp and his French wife Vanessa Paradis attended the show. We will publish pictures of Depp and Paradis shortly.

Campbell's scheduled appearance on P. Diddy's celebrity cooking show has been canceled, which may or may not be related to the abuse charges against her.

Campbell also made an ironic peacekeeping visit to South Africa to meet with Netson Mandela after the incident. The press was not allowed to be present at the event.

Here is Campbell modeling for Mont Blanc. The company should have hired a better spokesmodel.

Michael Douglas spouts more crap

Now that Michael Douglas is wearing a beard to hide his surgery scars, he's trying to make it the fashion by badgering other men about their grooming habits:

He says, "Young guys are somewhat androgynous and use cosmetics. The lines (between men and women) seem to be getting much closer."

Although he doesn't understand the young male's psyche, Douglas insists he's not jealous of younger men. He adds, "A lot of these guys use me as an example of who they'd like to have a career like - which is flattering - but I'm getting tired of this sort of respectfulness they give me. When they start calling me Mr. Douglas, I'm like, 'Hey! Shut the f**k up!'"

No, Douglas, you shut the fuck up. Just because you're getting old doesn't mean you have to complain about younger men. You've surely used some cosmetics in your day.

Douglas was in NY last night to lend his support to the UN's fight against landmines at a lavish fundraising dinner. He presented the Adopt-A-Minefield’s humanitarian award to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Douglas' wife, Catherine Zeta Jones, must be getting sick of the crap he says because she wasn't at the dinner with him. Jones is filming "Mostly Martha" in NY and is presumably in the same town. Both Jones and her husband were said to be attending the dinner in earlier reports.

Here is Douglas at the UN dinner last night. He is pictured with Kofi Annan and musician Moby.

Bill Cosby goes after blogger for posting videos mocking him

Bill Cosby's legal team has sent a cease and desist order to popular blogger Andy Baio of Waxy.org for posting the "House of Cosbys" video files. "House of Cosbys" is a cartoon that depicts multiple cloned Cosbys living in a house together, similar to the plot of the Micheal Keaton film, Mulitplicity. Baio is standing his ground, and says that "House of Cosbys" is a parody which falls under fair use guidelines. He points to many other parodies of Cosby, and says that he refuses to be legally bullied:

More than anything, this strikes me as a special kind of discrimination against amateur creators on the Internet. Mad Magazine, Saturday Night Live, South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and countless other mainstream media sources have parodied Bill Cosby over the years...

But because it takes so little effort to threaten a small web-based artist (or the blogger who hosts their work), the Net is constantly targeted regardless of just cause. Justin Roiland, creator of House of Cosbys, was forced to remove the videos because he couldn't risk the possibility of an actual lawsuit. And when Channel 101 decided to take a stand, Cosby's lawyers targeted their ISP instead, forcing the videos offline.

But I know my legal standing, and I'm not backing down unless ordered by the court. This is free speech and creative freedom, and even though it's just one guy's goofy labor of love, that's worth fighting for, dammit.

Here's House of Cosbys episode one:

Bill Cosby seems like even more of an asshole when you consider that he recently pointed out to Katrina victims that there were high crime rates in New Orleans before the natural disaster:

Humorist Bill Cosby lectured black residents of New Orleans over the weekend, saying their community was "wounded" by crime even before Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city and killed their neighbors.

"It's painful, but we can't cleanse ourselves unless we look at the wound," Cosby told the rally of about 2,000 people at the city's convention center, where thousands of Katrina evacuees had gathered seven months earlier.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you had the highest murder rate, unto each other. You were dealing drugs to each other. You were impregnating our 13-, 12-, 11-year-old children," he said, in quotes picked up by Reuters.

[via]

This is typical of Cosby, who has lashed out in the past at what he perceives as a violent black popular culture and an unwillingness to change. Cosby has seemed to blame the African American community for their plight and maintains a dismal perspective instead of looking at more broad sociocultural factors and seeing the positive aspects of black culture.

Star Jones continues to freeload

Star Jones famously got a large portion of her sham wedding ceremony to Al Reynolds comped. Now she doesn't want to pay for stripping-focused exercise lessons, since she's not going to need them anyway:

The large-and-in-charge co-host of "The View" - looking to tighten up after getting a breast lift (with implants) and losing 150 pounds (with gastric bypass surgery) - asked her manager to set up free private lessons at S Factor gym, where owner Sheila Kelley teaches her charges to use a stripper pole. Kelley offered only the first lesson for free, and Jones decided to stick with Equinox. Despite e-mails that show otherwise, a spokesman for Star said it was Kelley who approached her.

Obviously Jones is up to her old tricks and thinks that her dim star power is enough to get her anything she wants. She should just be canned from The View already and become a spokesperson because she doesn't have many career options left.

By all accounts, Jones' return to the View after the health scare she suffered from breast lift surgery was unremarkable. Jones brought some falsies in for her co-hosts, saying she no longer needed them, and admitted that she did have a scare on the operating table. She continued to downplay the threat to her health though and insisted that she was "eating bacon and eggs" the next morning. Jones seemed to get along fine with Joy Behar after their snotty exchange on the phone over the air. The two must have been making a special effort.

Jones was honored by Dress for Success at the Marriot Marquis in NY last night. Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that provides secondhand business attire and interview tips to disadvantaged women. Jones must be considered a wonderful example for women afraid to ask for charity.

Here's Jones in what's probably a borrowed dress at the Dress for Success event last night.

Johnny Knoxville brags about his staying power

Johnny Knoxville revealed the most likely reason why it was his co-star, Steve-O, who "briefly" hooked up with Nicole Richie and not him: he likes to take his time during sex.

[Knoxville] claims he is such a master in the bedroom any ladies interested in filming their sexual escapades would need two tapes.

He said: "I haven't seen it so it's hard to compare, but I reckon you'd probably need extra videotape."

Knoxville says the secret to his sexual prowess is he is willing to do anything to pleasure a women.

He added: "Your wish is my command, ladies."

Knoxville must be between conquests at the time, or he would surely be too busy to give long quotes.

Tony Parker's friends think Eva Longoria is a slutty blabbermouth

After Eva Longoria spouted all that shit about Tony Parker being inexperienced in bed and needing her tutelage - and then tried to take it back - it's not surprising that his friends think she's a blabbermouth and are questioning her sanity:

Parker says, "Actually when I read it I didn't think it was bad.

"My fellow Frenchies, all they talk about is sex,and they were like, 'Why is she saying stuff like that? Why is she talking about your private life and what happens in the bedroom?'" Longoria has since tried to clarify what she meant by her comments, saying Parker was actually the teacher in the bedroom and that he had only had been involved in one serious relationship before her.

Longoria went on to say that "I never regret something I say. I regret how people perceive it."

Her boyfriend is just a chump for putting up with her. She is so arrogant and she's going to have trouble having a career after Desperate Housewives.

Here are some screencaps and collages from Eva's appearance on The George Lopez show. [via]

Pink is the new Sharon Stone

Pink, trying desperately to make a comeback, is spouting a lot of crap to the press to try to drum up publicity for her album coming out this week, "I'm Not Dead." Britian's Mirror gossip rag, 3am, devotes its entire issue to Pink and has scads of dumb quotes from the singer, who uses a punk image to exploit teens who want to rebel but aren't cool enough to discover real music.

Pink speaks out on everything from webcam sex to feminism:

Pink said kissing bi actress Kristanna Loken was better than kissing her husband, Motocross rider Carey Hart, because "Kristanna has the better tongue action."

Pink admires Angelina Jolie, Oprah, and Reese, and thinks that the media gives the wrong impression of women:

if you look at popular culture you'd think we're completely happy in thongs with a stripper's pole between our thighs, and all we care about is the latest pair of shoes.

Pink is completely happy with a stripper's pole between her legs, so we don't know why she's bitching about it.

Pink says she was never addicted to heroin and was misquoted by a tabloid:

A disreputable tabloid misquoted me saying I'd taken heroin, but I was talking about my song Who Knew, which is about finding my friend dead after a heroin overdose.

After bemoaning the demise of feminism, Pink says that she made people take their clothes off to audition for her videos:

Why can't everyone just be naked. That's what I love about being the artist, I had a casting couch for my videos. I'd be like take your s*** off and shake it...

She says that she's only been with her husband three times since they got married in January, and that they have frequent webcam sex to keep it hot.

Pink also claims that the most romantic moment with her husband was when he threw up at the same time as she did in a bid to empathize with her.

Pink obviously doesn't care how she comes off as long as she's quoted. Her single, "Stupid Girls," is only 31 on the Billboard chart and her last album didn't sell that well:

It only seems to prove [Stupid Girl's] point that it hasn't struck as deep a commercial chord as Pink may have wished. It only got to No. 13 on Billboard's Hot 100 Song list. This week it dips to 31. That's representative of Pink's career at this point. She needs to pull off a comeback with this album, a reality she cheekily alludes to with her "I'm Not Dead" title. Her previous album, "Try This," sold a tepid 700,000 copies. It's predecessor, "Miss Undaztood," moved 5 million.

Keira Knightly warns Sienna Miller to "be careful" with her ex

Sienna Miller, 24, has now either moved on from her flash-in-the-pan relationship with Hayden Christensen, 24, or is hedging her bets, because she's now hooking up with Keira Knightly's ex, Jamie Dornan. Keira can't just let Sienna drive the guy off with her smoking and excessive drinking - she has to warn her about him and is probably making matters worse:

Keira Knightley has warned Sienna Miller to steer clear of her ex-love Jamie Dornan - in case he breaks her heart. The stunning actress - who split from Dornan last year amid claims he was jealous of her career - reportedly called Sienna after hearing she had a crush on the former model.

Keira... allegedly told Sienna the Irish hunk wouldn't be able to handle her success. A source is quoted in Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Keira went through hell with Jamie, because he couldn't deal with her fame.

"She's dating Rupert Friend now. But she was horrified when she heard Sienna has enjoyed a series of dates with Jamie. She likes Sienna and doesn't want to see her make the same mistakes."

Knightly is a nosy bitch and she can't stand to see Sienna enjoying her leftovers. She needs to mind her own business and STFU.

Knightly, 23, was with Dornan on and off for about two years. The two split up in August of last year. She has been dating fellow British actor Rupert Friend, 24, for about two months and just moved in with him.

Here is Keira thinking she's all cultured and shit for being a tourist in Rome this Thursday. The girl does not have a humble bone in her body. The woman with her is her mom.

George Clooney hates the Internet too

headshot of smirking clooney with the caption I am always right
Now two Hollywood men have come out against the Internet. We can expect our favorite blogs and picture forums to be shut down soon. First Harrison Ford bemoaned the fact that he can be quoted and mocked online by anyone, effectively multiplying the power of the gossip rags exponentially.

Now George Clooney is amazed that Gawker had the idea to merge celebrity sightings with Google maps, cutting out a single step for rabid fans. Clooney is advocating what is indeed already going on - that people send fake celebrity sightings to Gawker, which of course has no way to verify them:

There is a simple way to render these guys useless," Clooney advised in an e-mail his publicist sent out to various other show-business publicists. "Flood their Web site with bogus sightings. Get your clients to get 10 friends to text in fake sightings of any number of stars. A couple hundred conflicting sightings and this Web site is worthless. No need to try to create new laws to restrict free speech. Just make them useless. That's the fun of it. And then sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks, George."

That's right, Georgey, use the Internet to fight the Internet.

The NY Post notes that Gawker had a lot of sightings yesterday, which may suggest that Clooney's plan to foil the popular Gawker Stalker maps is working. Damn him.

Naomi Campbell smacked her housekeeper with a bejeweled Blackberry

Naomi Campbell hid her handcuffs under a white poncho yesterday morning when the cops hauled her away for hitting her housekeeper in the head with a crystal-encrusted Blackberry.

Campbell claimed the housekeeper stole a pair of jeans, provoking the attack. Campbell hit the poor woman so hard she required four stitches. She then is asked her staff to say that the woman fell and hit her head.

"You f------ b----!" the cantankerous catwalker shrieked yesterday inside her Park Ave. penthouse apartment, accusing her maid, Ana Scolavino, of stealing a pair of $200 Chip & Pepper jeans, sources said.

Raging, Campbell cracked the BlackBerry against her housekeeper's head at 8 a.m. - and then demanded her staff tell cops the 42-year-old maid had hurt herself falling, sources said.

But the sinewy supermodel's servant alerted officials at Lenox Hill Hospital, and soon cops arrived at Campbell's $3.5 million apartment to haul her away.

Campbell, 35, insisted she had no idea what cops were talking about and showed them a flip-phone, not the BlackBerry, as supposed proof, sources said.

But the cops cuffed her - disappointing an Oprah Winfrey camera crew waiting to film her for a cooking segment.

Ever the diva, Campbell hid the handcuffs under a white fur poncho. Sources said she also asked to ride in her own car to the police stationhouse and then paused as her minions begged cops to let them fix her bangs before she was escorted outside. The requests were denied.

Campbell is known for her violent outbursts, and has a long record of abusing her help. Glitterati has a good overview of Campbell's history, which spans at least eight years and includes guilty pleas for past abuse charges.

We hope Campbell gets more than a slap on the wrist for this latest incident, and that her housekeeper successfully sues her for a huge sum.

Sharon Stone: I will do anything for attention (and fur)

Sharon Stone, the new gay icon, has accomplished a lot in the past few weeks.

She's counselled young girls on the art of giving a pity blowjob

She made out with the West Wall in Israel to promote her "fuck your way to world peace" program

She donned the carcasses of countless animals and teased her hair to pre-90s levels, complete with matching spandex

She did her part for the labor movement by giving jobs waiting on her to her relatives and friends.

She starred in a movie that she tried her very best to make dirty, and ended up with a film that reaches Showgirls-level camp

And she overcame shyness by flirting with discount shoppers

Now she's surprising us all with her latest announcement that she will do Playboy - again:

The sexy actress made her debut in the men's magazine in 1990 before shooting to fame with her role in Basic Instinct.

And after watching the star strip in new thriller Basic Instinct 2, magazine bosses have reportedly approached Sharon with a million dollar offer to pose again.

Sizzling Sharon told a US TV show: "I did Playboy a few years ago.

"They've approached me again. This is not the moment but (that's) not to say there won't be the moment."

The moment will be in a month or two, we're sure. Sharon Stone would do playboy again - how shocking!

Sharon Stone says she's shy

Sharon Stone shows off how versatile cruelty can be by wearing her fur robe two ways at her appearance outside the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday. She also managed to soak up every waning drop of admiration at the NY premiere of her sex vehicle Basic Instinct 2: Fame Addiction later that night.

Sharon blew her last shred of credibility in a recent interview by claiming to be shy and saying that her sister encouraged her to flirt with strangers at a Marshalls store:

"Guys need encouragement and I don't give them any.

"My sister made me practise being more flirtatious. She took me to Marshalls (discount store) and made me practise with shoppers.

"Everybody flirts with my sister Kelly. She's a sex bomb. No one ever talks to me."

I didn't know they sold fur nightwear at Marshalls.

Keira Knightly's a pig

Keira Knightly donned a god-awful getup for her 21st birthday in London at the club Paper last night. Keira's boyfriend, Rupert Friend, looked decent in costume, but Keira's look seemed as forced and fake as the actress herself. She tried to pull off a 20s flapper look but her smug face and a tight ringlet hairdo made her seem like an ugly kewpie doll. Then Keira put on a pig's mask to avoid being photographed as she left the party.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston should be BFF

Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston are superb at giving arrogant quotes. Since they both dated Brad Pitt and hate the entertainment industry they have a few things in common to complain about. It's surprising that you don't see more of those two rude bitches together, and we think they would make great friends.

Paltrow was just quoted bitching about Robbie Williams in faux British vernacular. She probably resents the fact that Williams is more talented than her boring husband:

I don't get Robbie Williams. I think he seems rude and he's always getting his knickers off.

Well, we can attest to the fact that Williams likes to get naked, and that he looks damn good in the process. As for being rude, it takes one to know one.

Here's Paltrow in NY last week trying to bundle up.

Ashlee Simpson calls her boobs amazing

"Singer" Ashlee Simpson, 21, admitted to having an eating disorder for a six month period while she was studying to be a dancer. She said that she's over that now, and thinks it's sad that people can't accept their bodies. She then admits to loving her body a little too much:

"I have amazing boobs. I do; I know it. They're not too big, not too small. They're just perfect."

"It's sexy not to be a bone," Ashlee proclaims

At least the praise is coming from Ashlee herself, and not her creepy-ass father.

Ashlee and her great tits surfed on an MTV special "Kelly Slater Celebrity Surf Invitational," that aired on March 25.

Here are some pictures of Ashlee surfing and contorting her face at a concert in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Saturday. Ashlee will play in Wisconsin tomorrow night, but it may be empty in the concert hall. As of last week less than 1,000 tickets were sold.

Seven more pictures after the jump.

Jennifer Aniston's mad about rabbits and reality TV

Jennifer Aniston winking and looking foolish with the caption I see the light
Jennifer Aniston is digging herself into a deep, dark hole from which her career will never recover. Only a select few people in this world are given the advantages in life that Aniston shits on every time she opens her mouth.

Her latest quotes, of which there are plenty, are just full of gratitude for her charmed existence.

The woman who has most of the world's resources at her disposal is bitching about some furry rabbits in the huge front lawn of the massive mansion she lives in:

"Those f**king rabbits. They were cute at first...and now there are 500 of them and you walk out onto the grass and it's just crunch, crunch, crunch."

"There's rabbit s**t everywhere. Those bunnies are the bane of my existence."

All she has to do is pick up the phone and ask someone to come over. She can probably even get the guys who created Wallace and Gromit to come over with a working BunnyVac. When you have the kind of cash that Aniston does, you're truly a petty person if you let some little rabbits get to you.

You're also stupid if you rip on the entertainment industry that made you an ungrateful star, but of course she does it anyway.

"What happened to a great half-hour sitcom?" asked the 37-year-old former 'Friends' star. "It's all 'Dancing with the Stars,' 'Knitting with the Stars,' 'Building a Home with the Stars,' 'Living in the Homes of Stars'."

"And then the ripping people to shreds. Humiliation. Degradation. What is going on? There's so much instant gratification, and we want it.

"It's just bizarre. I don't watch TV anymore," confessed Aniston. "Nothing. I have no interest in that idol sh*t."

Aniston, there are devices that help you avoid unwanted television programs. They're called a Tivo, a Replay TV, or you can even get a Media Center PC. Again, pick up the phone and ask for some help. The next time you need help around the house, please do us a favor and consult the yellow pages instead of complaining to the reporters that hover around you.

We are glad that you are moving to Chicago to live with your bloated paramour, Vince Vaughn. Please refrain from speaking to reporters there, and ask Vince to help you with minor problems around the house.

Also, this other shit you said about how the paparrazi bothers you and how men came on to you while you were married, we really don't care. Please review Mischa Barton's latest interview, and take notes on how to respond to reporters.

Natalie Portman is a hypocrite

Natalie Portman crosses over into dangerous Gwyneth Paltrow territory by comparing actresses who do it for the money to whores:

The 'V for Vendetta' star insists she only takes on roles based on their artistic merit and says she would never agree to be in a film just because she was offered a large fee.

She said: "I don't want to ever be working for money because then you are no different to a prostitute."

Portman, just because you wear vegan shoes and give college lectures for publicity doesn't mean you're any better than other actresses.

Not only are you stupid and arrogant, you're also a hypocrite.

Even though you do ads in Japan that doesn't mean we don't know about them. Were you appearing in these shampoo commercials for the sheer challenge of portraying a young woman with glossy hair? You must be terribly ashamed for selling your body for some cash two years ago.

Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts are on the outs

Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts are having relationship trouble after nearly a year of dating. Friends say the two are looking for new partners and admit that things are not going well. Schreiber is said to be too controlling, and may want Watts to quit working to have a baby:

Even though "King Kong" put [Watts] on Hollywood's A-list, "[Schreiber] wants her to stop working entirely and have a baby," claims a source. "He wants to review all her script offers. He even likes her to look a certain way."

Watts' rep swears, "Everything is fine. This is total nonsense."

Schreiber, who stars this summer as Macbeth in Shakespeare in the Park, insists he's no one to meddle.

"If anything," he laughs, "I'm grateful if Naomi gives me advice. Especially when it comes to dressing. She's a lot more experienced with what to wear."

Schreiber sounds like an asshole with that comment, and we wouldn't be surprised if he's controlling. There's something smarmy about the guy and we hope Watts is able to find someone who supports his career rather than trying to tell her what to do.

Eva Longoria can't shut up

Eva Longoria shows how arrogant and annoying she is in every interview. In the new issue of Allure she reveals that she's only the second woman her boyfriend Tony Parker has slept with, and brags about how whipped she has him:

"He's very sweet," she says of her French-born boyfriend. "I'm the experienced one. I'm the teacher, especially about love. He's always telling me he's never met anyone who loves the way I do — wholly and freely and unconditionally."

She also clears up speculation that they will soon walk down the aisle: "No, no, no. But we know exactly what we want in our future."

"Our children will speak French," she adds.

Parker appreciates her "plucky" attitude, Longoria tells the magazine.

"Since I grew up in Texas, I'm like the people he's gotten used to around San Antonio instead of being a Hollywood actress who's selfish and arrogant and full of herself ... and screamy," she says.

What a stupid bitch. She's saying she's not a selfish, arrogant, and screamy actress. That's like saying she's not a petite brunette.

She has one of those cute conversations with her boyfriend like "oh, our kids will be into sports" and repeats it to a magazine like it's substantial information about her future.

I really hope Tony breaks up with her after he finds out that she repeats their pillow talk. He may be a good guy, but he can't be that much of a pushover.

Sharon Stone mocks younger, prettier actresses

Sharon Stone is said to have laughed at reports that Sienna Miller wanted dibs at her role in Basic Instinct 2: Fame Addiction.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Sienna was mentioned at one stage - before the second film was even given the green light - but there was just no way.

"[Stone] was offered first refusal and chuckled when she heard Sienna was keen. According to Sharon, she is just a silly girl who couldn't handle Catherine."

The 48-year-old - who first played the sexy murderess 13 years ago - is also said to consider Sienna nothing but a "naïve little girl".

Go on and laugh, Sharon, Sienna is half your age and has her whole career ahead of her.

Stone also wins the bullshit award with comments attributing her figure to everyday activities:

Asked how she maintained her looks, Stone replied: “People ask me this so much I’m thinking I ought to make an exercise video. I’ve exercised a little but over a long period of time.”

Her top tip for maintaining that svelte figure: “I don’t take escalators.”

Stone's original demands for filming the Basic Instinct sequel included a $5,000 Pilates machine called "The Cadillac."

Here she is at a press conference for Basic Instinct 2.

Sharon Stone thinks she's still famous enough to have an entourage

Sharon Stone, ambassador for the fuck your way to world peace program, is milking her last chance at fame as much as she can. She's following MC Hammer's lead by giving overpriced gigs to her sister and best friend:

[Sharon Stone] has a group of nine, including her sister, Kelly, who is getting $40,000 as Sharon's "wardrobe mistress;" her best friend, her makeup artist, personal assistant, publicist, bodyguard and a London stylist who handles her hair extensions. Stone & Co., who were guests of Shimon Peres in Israel last week, are traveling to London, Rome, Paris, Madrid and Berlin in a chartered Gulfstream IV. "She is the only one who can plug the movie," we're told

Here's Stone at the world premiere in London of Basic Instint 2: Fame Addiction. Stone is easily upstaged by a British psuedo-celebrity in a see through top, Jodie Marsh. Ass grabber Christian Slater and Alex Kingston (of ER) are starring in a play in London together. Kingston is married to someone else.

Four more after the jump.

Bloggers get arrested by the FBI for posting mp3s

Fat and ugly RIAA head Mitch Bainwol giving a press conference with the caption: We will take down the Internet
Two bloggers were arrested by the FBI for posting unreleased tracks from Ryan Adams' upcoming album. Apparently there's no organized crime or terrorism being planned anywhere:

The FBI busted two RYAN ADAMS fans for posting portions of Adams' September release Jacksonville City Nights without the consent the guitarist's label, Lost Highway Records, on a fan Web site a month before the album hit stores. According to a provision of the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act (FECA), publishing music or movies before their public release is a federal crime. Milwaukee resident Robert Thomas and Jared Browser of Jacksonville, Florida, face up to eleven years in prison if convicted.

This is what I was talking about in the last post. Since when did filesharing become a federal crime?

RIAA head, Mitch Bainwol, admits that all the time on his knees has paid off:

"Prerelease piracy is a particularly damaging and onerous form of theft," he said. "It robs artists of the chance to sell their music before it even hits the streets or becomes legally available online, and the ripple effects are felt far and wide throughout the entire music community...

"We commend Congress for giving prosecutors the tools they need to achieve swift and successful enforcement of this devastating form of piracy. The message here is clear: Significant crimes bring significant consequences."

Giving an artist free pre-release buzz is a significant crime that hurts your massive industry? Have a clue - filesharing gives the film and music industry more exposure than you could ever manage on your own. It's called The Internet, and it's the next big thing. Take advantage of it, or otherwise you're going down. [via]

Raj from the Apprentice to run for Congress

Raj from the apprentice looking smug as hell with his arms crossed and the caption: vote for me. I know what's best for you
Raj Bhakta from the second season of The Apprentice is going to run for Congress in the district of Philadelphia, PA as a Republican. Bhakta challenges one term incumbent Allyson Schwartz:

"We offer voters legitimate change," Bhakta said. "I am not a politician. I am someone from a business background who wants to make a change."

What a prick this guy is. In case you didn't see that lousy season of the Apprentice, Raj is the arrogant one who wore a bowtie. He brought down his team in a challenge to create a video promotion for the NYPD by producing a scary, terrorism-themed ad with helicopters and riot police. The other team easily won the challenge with a feel-good commercial that featured cops talking about how they made a difference.

The House is already full of dickweed Republicans and doesn't need a new one. Only a minor celebrity or someone with excellent backing can take a seat away from a sitting member of Congress, because the incumbency reelection rate is over 98%.

Why does this matter? Our rights are being stripped from us by the Republicans. The USA Patriot act, which authorizes warrantless searches and paves the way for massive government data mining, was just reauthorized. The government can learn anything it wants about you, including all of your shopping, reading, e-mail and Internet habits, without getting permission and without your knowledge. Indeed, they've been doing this for a while.

Chances are you know someone fighting in Iraq. With the Republicans in control they won't come back for a long time. The military is way overextended. If the Republicans decide to attack Iran, you or your friends could even get drafted.

And South Dakota just outlawed abortion.

If you saw The Apprentice you know Raj is the type of guy who takes over and fucks everything up. We already have those assholes running the country and don't need another one.

Eva Longoria wants to throw away her meal ticket

headshot of Eva Longoria with the caption do my arms look fat in this?
Eva Longoria is complaining about all the bathtub and lingerie scenes she has in "Desperate Housewives." She isn't concerned about demeaning herself or distracting from her brilliant acting - she's just worried about how she looks:

Eva, 30, who plays cheating Gabrielle, told OK!: "I had to talk to creator Marc Cherry and go: 'Can you please stop putting me in the bath tub?'"

Eva who hired a fitness trainer to keep her in shape as she shows off so much flesh in the show also asked for a cut in her underwear scenes.

She added: "I didn't realise how much lingerie I'd be in and how much I'd be in the bath tub. Filming is nerve-wracking, I'm constantly worrying about how I'm being filmed."

Eva is so vain that she's sabotaging her career. She revealed earlier that she's similarly planning a pregnancy around her vanity.

Reese is bitter

Close up of Reese Witherspoon's face with the caption I will make you regret leaving me!
Reese Witherspoon wins best actress, and she can't think of anything better to do than harp on her ex-boyfriends:

The actress, who is now married to heartthrob actor Ryan Philippe, said: "Every time I got dumped, I always fantasised that one day he would be sorry - and I would go on stage and tell him what I thought.

"So for all the boys who ever dumped me, this is for you."

She's a rich and famous actress at the top of her career. She has two kids and super-hot husband, and she's still hung up on her exes! Reese, there are some things in life you just can't control so let go.

Men don't like women who try to run their lives, and most of the guys who dated you are probably grateful you moved on.

Keira Knightly poses in exchange for spa treatment

Keira looks like she had a manicure at the Diamond Aquifer pre-oscar suite. If she has any sense she'll choose a new color for the Oscars. She seems to have perfected the "I'm so full of shit" pose. Unfortunately they don't do eyebrows at these mini-spa suites. [via]

Keira is said to be dating fellow Pride and Prejudice star, Rupert Friend. She is also said to be a royal pain in the ass.

Update: Keira Knightly to be the new face of Chanel cosmetics.

His uppity co-star Keira Knightly says that Depp and Orlando Bloom have been teasing her since her Oscar nomination:

Knightley told Britain's Heat magazine: "They've been taking the p*** out of me.

"Every time I do a take, they say, 'Oh, is that an Oscar-nominated take?'"

Supposedly Keira has been a diva on set, bringing along a big entourage and insisting that crew not make eye contact with her. She deserves to be teased.
