Over 3 million people tuned in to watch Flava Flav look for love again amongst a catfighting harem on the debut of "Flavor of Love" this Sunday on Vh1. The big scandal was "Somethin" taking a crap on the stairs. Producers undoubtedly put her up to it. "Pumkin" claims that she spit in "New York's" face last season at the suggestion of the producers. Is it really worth the notoriety? In "Pumkin's" case she was fired from her job. "Somethin" might have trouble showing her face for years.
Here's the incident:
And here's Somethin explaining what happened. Yeah, right:
That's plain nasty, and it's so obviously staged. It sure brings in the ratings though:
The outrageous show, in which girls compete for the rapper's affections, drew 3.3 million viewers to VH1 on Sunday night, beating everything else on cable that night, including a new episode of acclaimed drama Entourage.
Six million viewers watched the first "Flavor of Love" season finale in March, making the show the top-rated telecast in VH1 history.
Yeah, it sure is entertaining to watch people get disgusted by poop. Who am I kidding? If I still lived in the states I would have watched it.
Here are some of the Flavor of Love girls from 99monkeys. Videos found at DListed.
British hottie Jason Statham stars with Amy Smart in the action film "Crank" about a hit man trying to settle a score. I loved him in "Snatch," "The Italian Job," and even "The Transporter," and from the trailer this looks like a slick and entertaining film.
Statham is also revising his role as "Handsome Rob" in a sequel to "The Italian Job" to come out in 2008. It's called "The Brazilian Job," and Charlize Theron, Mark Wahlberg, Mos Def and Seth Green have all signed on.
Here are pictures of Statham in the movie with Amy Smart. "Crank" is out August 1st.
Pictures from All Movie Photo. The last few are high resolution.
I know how the screenwriter of the new movie with Jessica Simpson and Dane Cook, "Employee of the Month," pitched it: "It's like Office Space in Costco meets Napoleon Dynamite."
The film's even got Pedro from "Napoleon Dynamite" except he's named "Jorge."
It doesn't look original or particularly funny. You know that it's gonna suck when the trailer looks boring. There could be some good parts, but I'm not impressed.
Trailer #1, kind of boring
Trailer #2, a bit better
Comingsoon.net says that "Employee of the Month" will be released on October 6, 2006.
Thanks to Bricks and Stones for finding these.

MSNBC's The Scoop borrows our unoriginal observation by calling Suri the "Loch Ness Monster of celebrity babies."
One rumor is that protective pop Top Gun is reluctant to trot out the child because he’s worried about kidnapping threats. His spokesman denies that buzz — and even denies that Cruise is “reluctant” to show Suri.
“He hasn’t been reluctant,” spokesman Arnold Robinson tells the Scoop. “They will be making a decision to release the photographs [of Suri] shortly.” Will the pics be released to a single or few media outlets, or will it be a general release? “That’s part of the decision they’ll be making shortly,” he said.
Yeah, they'll make that decision, uh, shortly. Just like they'll get married any day now. All those preparations at the Celebrity Scientology Center were indeed for a big party as we reported, and not for a supposed wedding or non-existent Suri's Scientology baptism. It was their 37th anniversary of brainwashing people, and John Travolta and Kelly Preston showed up, lest the Scientologists reveal their darkest secrets. TMZ has a video of Travolta dancing or something at the party, but it didn't load for me. I'm so dissapointed.
Penelope Cruz said she'd met Suri, but then totally backtracked and made a weird roundabout statement about how she didn't want to have to lie anymore.
Here are two guys who work at a radio station protesting outside a Scientology center in Portland. They're "demanding the Cruise baby." You really don't have to watch this, you get the point.
The best is their protest sign with Cuba Gooding Jr. saying "Show me the Baby!"
"Where are here, do si do, show us Suri then we'll go." "It's not fair, we all lose, please show us Suri Cruise"
They ask "Will we ever see the Polaroid of that little baby mongloid?" OMG That is so un-pc, I'm sorry, but it made me laugh.

Faded Youth scopes out X17's video of Britney shopping for toys and comes to the logical conclusion that she's having a baby girl this time around. She is seen looking at frilly girl's toys in the video. I was going to just report on the fact that Britney's having a girl, but then I found this awesome video taken on August 5th when she can't get into her car and has to ask the paparrazi if it's hers!
There must be a lot of black BMW SUVs in Britney's neighborhood.

Joe Pesci made an hilarious rap video as his "Wise Guy" character back in 1998. His rapping is so bad it's good, and it's set to a looping sample from Blondie's "Rapture." The video features slap-happy Naomi Campbell and a blonde model who looks familiar.
This song comes from the album "Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just For You." The album also features songs capitalizing on his role in "My Cousin Vinny." Amazon.com has samples.
"Two supermodels, one on each arm. One chick's brunette, the other one's blonde. I heard their fathers had stocks and bonds, so I f'ed 'em up and left them floating in a pond."

In this clip for an upcoming MTV special, Paris Hilton talks about her love of singing, how she worked harder for it than anything in her life, and how she's wanted to sing since she was a little girl. She delivers these lines while sitting back on a couch and never changing the tone of her voice. She looks completely bored, like it doesn't really interest her to discuss her newfound music career, and she's doing it because she has to.
Paris Hilton is less excited making her crappy bubblegum music than the average secretary doing her daily job. Can you imagine if you called an office and the person answering the phone was as devoid of emotion as Paris? If it was a high-powered executive's office, you would wonder why they put up with such a bad assistant.
In Paris Hilton's case, you wonder why she bothers to get up in the morning. Is she really depressed or just bored with life?
Media analysts have called Paris Hilton a "palette cleanser" and said that she's the perfect brand advertisement because she can be anything you want her to be. With no real passions or obvious interests beyond shopping and showing up for stuff, it's obvious why. She just doesn't give a shit what you do with her.
Look, she blends in with the background perfectly. She's like a pillow that coordinates with everything.
This sounds like fake news because it's just too good to be true, but David Hasselhoff has embraced his campy image and is going to star in a musical based on his life!
David Hasselhoff: The Musical will include sets inspired by The Young and The Restless, Knight Rider and the songs of Teddy Pendergrass. “I am also doing a heart-rendering set on my life and the mistakes I have made,” the star says. “It sounds like a bad joke, but it is really going to be a good show…totally campy. It’s written by the same people who wrote Bette Midler’s show and produced by the people who produced Chicago in London.”
The production - which features dancers from both Chicago and Jeckyl & Hyde - will open in Melbourne (date to be determined) before hopefully coming to America. “If it ends up in Vegas, how great would that be?” he says. “I want to entertain people. Sammy Davis (Jr.) was my hero.” Hasselhoff, 54, will also release his autobiography, Making Waves, on September 10.
Hasselhoff is definitely not afraid to make fun of himself, as evidenced by his appearance in the Spongebob Movie:
And here's his "Hooked on a Feeling" video, which you've probably already seen since it's clocked hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. I was laughing my ass off watching this movie. Try not to be amused:
That's awesome that Hasselhoff is going to make a musical - it sounds like a parody from "The Simpsons" (Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius!)
Good on 'ya David Hasselhoff, the aussies are going to love your work.

The video for Jessica Simpson's new single, "A Public Affair," contains enough T&A to make up for the lousy music. Eva Longoria, Christina Applegate and Christina Milian skate around, and Maria Menounos plays the role of Jessica's ex-husband's new girlfried, Vanessa Minnillo, in a fantasy catfight.
Oh, and Jessica Simpson deep throats an ice cream cone in a brief clip that seems to reveal what she plans to do with the dessert afterwards in order to keep her figure. The thumbnail links to a larger version. [via]
Here's the video which you've probably already seen.
And here's Jessica Simpson at TRL and outside the studios. MTV made sure Vanessa Minnillo wasn't hosting that day. [via]
Brad Pitt says that having children is his biggest accomplishment, and that it keeps him from focusing on his hair and hot body. Speaking to Anne Curry of the Today Show, he said:
I can't do justice to it anymore than any other parent can. You feel that you want to be there and you don't want to miss out on anything. And it's a true joy. And you want to be there for them if they need anything. It's a true joy."
"[Having children is the] best thing I ever did. You know, you can write a book, you can make a movie, you can draw, paint a painting, but having kids is really the most extraordinary thing I've ever taken on. And, man, if I can get a burp out of that [baby], that little thing, I'll feel such a sense of accomplishment.:"
He is sponsoring a $100,000 contest to design a 12-unit apartment building in the most eco-friendly way possible, and hopes to bring awareness to the need to rebuild New Orleans while preserving the environment.
Here's a video of the Today segment:
Brad Pitt always seemed rather bland to me, but it's good to see him bringing awareness to important causes, and I definitely agree that being a parent is amazing. The Jolie-Pitts seem to have struck the best balance between being in the spotlight without having people get sick of them. If only they would hire a less aggresive security force.
Here are pictures of the interview courtesy of Just Jared. There are also photos from his press conference on Friday in New Orleans from CelebGuru.

I can't believe Lindsay accepted an endorsement gig as a ProActiv spokesperson. Diddy and Jessica Simpson did it, but it seemed like a rumor when I first heard about it.
A few years ago I actually used ProActiv. It's a bit drying, but I have to admit that it worked on my skin, which only occasionally broke out beforehand but was really clear when I was using it. OMG - please send me some cash ProActiv, because I just plugged your stupid skincare system.
Thanks to Faded Youth for finding this video.

Paris Hilton appeared on a German TV show yesterday wearing a custom-made soccer jersey with "Hilton" written on the back. She said she thought Germany's soccer player Lukas Podolski was "hot," but Podolski is from Poland and just plays for Germany.
Host Stefan Raab: "So, you like Lukas Pudolski?"
Paris: "I don't know him, I just think he's really good looking. He's an amazing player."
Stefan Raab: "First he comes from Poland, but then he comes from Cologne. You're single at the moment? Maybe I can arrange something between you and Lukas Podolski. Wouldn't it be nice? Paris Podolski?"
Paris, laughing: "I wish them luck on Friday."
Here's the clip, courtesy of The Wade Blogs:
Paris next directed an on-stage soccer tournament with blindfolded players shouting "Harder Harder! Kick it forward hard! Kick it in!" You can watch that segment here.
The Wade Blogs points out that Paris has been saying she wants to get with various soccer players as she promotes her album in Europe. Some of her quotes in the British press are rather suspect, though:
(excerpt) “I think Lukas is the sexiest man on the pitch. I would really like to meet him." In fact, she claims her life right now is all about soccer — and cooking. She enthused: “I am a keen football fan. And I can cook really well — although you wouldn’t think it to look at me.” Paris admitted she is keen to become a mum once she has found the right fella. She explained: “He needs to be honourable and make me laugh. I want a baby within the next five years.”
Pitch.. keen.. come on! There is no way our bubbly blonde uses English colloquialisms in her everyday vernacular. The above excerpt had to be penned by PR flack/hack. We sincerely doubt Paris has ever heard the word "keen" (in fact we'd bet the only keen she's ever heard are the Brit band named Keane). Next thing they are going to tell us is that Paris is burning to replace "That's hot" with her knew turn of phrase "That's keen."
Now that Paris has almost ruined the careers of quarterback Matt Leinart and hockey player Jose Theodore the sports world is interested in her. ESPN's Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon debated Paris' love life on their show "Pardon the Interruption" this week:
Wilbon went on to predict that Paris would be linked to 27 athletes by the end of the decade.
It does look like Paris is fixated on athletes, although some are bound to take their teammates advice like Matt Leinart and stay far away from the herpes-laden heiress.
Paris said earlier in this German interview "I think German guys are really hot." I can attest to that, since my husband is German. If the German game of the World Cup wasn't on now I might have asked him to translate some of the German in that video.
Germany is now playing Argentina in the World Cup, and Argentina is unfortunately up by one goal. Lukas Podolski got a yellow card four minutes into the game.
Update Germany won in nail-biting penalty kick overtime!
Here is Paris promoting her CD in Cologne on June 27th. She wearing those dumb yellow shoes with the giant bows again. [via]
Yahoo! has the official Snakes on a Plane trailer in Quicktime and Windows Media format.
Here's a slightly different version of the trailer that someone recorded in the movie theatre
"Snakes on a Plane" (warning: site has music) asks the question "What if you were trapped on a 747 full of deadly snakes?" and stars Samuel L. Jackson. It opens August 18th.
This movie looks awesome, and I've been completely influenced by all the buzz. Try to market something to me, and I won't listen, but get all the blogs to carry it and I'm sold. "Snakes on a Plane" has taken advantage of all the Internet hype, and even offers a "Snakes" theme for your MySpace.

We are back in America after almost a year away, and we have to say that you people are totally spoiled! We miss 24 hour grocery stores, shopping on Sundays, and driving around like maniacs. Switzerland is much more relaxing, clean, and safe, but it's totally boring compared to America, and there are hardly any trashy TV shows. There's a lot of stress here, though, I forgot about that, and you must need a break from it all. I will do my best to make your celebrity vacation as gossip-filled and snarky as possible. Thanks to everyone who commented here and added us as friends on MySpace during our brief vacation.
So here's Connie Chung totally wasted and singing on a piano.
She was saying goodbye to the show you've never heard of that she hosted weekday mornings on MSNBC with her creepy ex-husband, Maury Povich:
The show, which was broadcast for six months, on Saturday mornings at 10 (and rebroadcast throughout the weekend), never caught on with viewers, drawing an average audience of slightly more than 200,000 on Saturday mornings. The cable channel quietly noted its demise earlier this month.
Chung says the act was a "gag" and that she "should have had a drink before I went on." She meant to say "I should have had another drink before I went on, maybe I would have blacked out and forgot about it."

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 2 of 4

And here she is with a drink in one hand and Sean Preston on her lap on a golf cart in Hollywood on June 8th:

Kate Moss was videotaped doing lines backstage at a Babyshambles concert last September. She was promptly dumped from her modeling contracts with Chanel and Burberry and went to rehab. She got new modeling contracts with Nikon, Calvin Klein, and came back with a vengeance.
She fled England after the scandal broke and was said to be wanted for police questioning, which she avoided for a while. In January she finally spoke to the police, but took the good advice of her lawyers and did not admit to any wrongdoing.
She was expected to be cleared on all charges, and an official announcement was made today. Cops said they couldn't tell whether Moss was doing amphetamines, cocaine, or ecstasy in the video and since those substances fall under different drug severity classes they can't charge her with anything and she gets off on a technicality:
"The film footage provides an absolutely clear indication that Ms. Moss was using controlled drugs and providing them to others," he said.
"However, in the absence of any forensic evidence, or direct eye witness evidence about the substance in question, its precise nature could not be established."
"Ms. Moss declined to provide any explanation when interviewed, and the direct eye witnesses also declined to provide evidence.
"Expert analysis of the footage, however, narrowed the possibilities down to three particular drugs: Cocaine, ecstasy or amphetamine.
"But these three substances fall into two different legal categories of controlled drugs.
"To obtain a conviction, case law establishes that the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt the legal category to which the substance being used belonged.
"Proving that it was a substance belonging either to one or other of two different legal categories is not sufficient.
"Accordingly, as the available evidence fell short of establishing the necessary crucial facts, we decided that there was no realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution could not therefore be started."
It's not like Kate would be in too much trouble if she actually was prosecuted for using a controlled substance. It seems like Pete Doherty is in court every other week on drugs charges and he hasn't faced great consequences other than being ordered to rehab.
Here's the shaky video of Kate doing cocaine in case you missed it: (Commentary is in Italian)
And here is Moss at the Isle of Wight music festival recently. It looks like Courtney Love is behind her in one of the shots. [via]
X17online, which seems to be the official blog of the X17 paparrazi photo agency, claims to have an exclusive with pictures that show Britney getting into the front seat of her gas-guzzling Escalade with nine month-old Sean Preston. As commentors note, it's impossible to tell if she sits with SP on her lap as she has so eloquently defended as a "country" practice, or if she climbs into the back of the huge vehicle to put him safely in his carseat. Given Britney's reputation, it's hard to speculate whether she would have learned yet that people are watching her and that she needs to be careful, or if she would behave according to stereotype and continue to make dumb decisions that threaten her baby's safety. We're not sure, and are posting these pictures to get your comments.
Here is also a video preview of Britney's Dateline interview, which airs in part on Thursday morning on the Today Show and can be seen in full in a special that evening. She seems really pitiful, and I wish she would just lay low for a while and try to get her identity back rather than granting an interview. Sure she wants people to know that everything is just fine with her sad relationship, but she can't keep it together and shouldn't be talking to the press.
Paris' publicist, Elliot Mintz, has a great job. He has to come up with creative ways to lie and spin shit whenever Paris offends someone or is generally inconsiderate or dumb. Since she leaves the house nearly every day, he gets a lot of work. Last month he spread the unlikely story that a thief snatched a bagful of high end Mother's day gifts for Kathy Hilton that Paris was never seen shopping for. He was spotted in the firecrotch video trying in vain to do on-scene damage control. Now he's saying that Paris never left the scene of the crime after backing her Range Rover into a Honda in a parking lot, even though there's a video of the incident that shows her doing it.
Since he doesn't have much to go on, he uses the tried and true "paparrazi defense" favored by Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears:
The video showed scrapes on the bumpers of both vehicles.
The Range Rover stopped briefly then continued on toward the exit of the parking structure.
TMZ.com indicated Hilton failed to leave contact information for the Honda's owner and thus may have violated laws against hit-and-run. Her publicist denied that.
"Did she commit a crime? No," Elliot Mintz said.
"She was swarmed by paparazzi," he said. "The intensity of the lights, flashbulbs, momentarily disoriented her. She backed up, there was a minor fender-bender. No injuries. She then told me she notified one of the parking people at the facility how to contact her and asked the person to please pass that along" to the owner of the struck car.
"She did the correct thing and she would not leave the scene of a crime," he said.
Mintz said Hilton is insured.
"Paris is a very responsible and a very good driver. ... She takes her driving seriously," Mintz said. "This was unfortunate ... it will be handled appropriately."
Notice that Muntz doesn't state Paris' actions as fact, he said she told him that she left her contact information, which is different than saying she actually did it.
To be fair to Paris, a paparrazoa was asking her one of those dumb questions they always shout at celebrities to get their attention when she had the accident. Something like "Did you have fun shopping?" This actually works, because Jennifer Love Hewitt and Denise Richards answer those fools and have been videotaped having conversations with them.
Here's the video. She is seen saying goodbye to Kim Kardashian, Nick Lachey's new girlfriend, before getting into the car.

This extended love scene from Mr. and Mrs. Smith makes it easy to see how Brad and Angelina hooked up on set. They have so much chemistry together:
And here's a deleted scene of Brad and Angelina's kissing at their on-screen wedding. This may be the only time they walk down the aisle.

Paris Hilton's record company is trying to keep up with the Internet leak of her music, and made an announcement to the music industry that they would begin shipping her first single, "Stars are Blind," on Monday, June 5th.
This song is catchy bubblegum pop and I can actually stand it. It doesn't get stuck in your head for too long, and it's enjoyable. The rest of her music that's been leaked is pretty bad, though:
Here's the "Stars are Blind" Video:
And here are samples of more of Paris' music. We've posted these before, but you may want another chance to wince:
Maybe they'll be significantly reworked before they're released. Producers should hurry - now that the first single is out they don't have much time.

Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson, The O.C.'s onscreen and real life couple, have been going their separate ways lately. Bilson has been photographed drunk and out on the town with girlfriends, and Brody was seen looking scruffy at the Sasquatch music festival in Washington state.
Of course couples don't have to hang out together constantly, but Brody is looking pretty depressed and scruffy while Bilson is drunk. It seems like something's going on.
Here's Brody playing drums at the Sasquatch festival on 5/29 [via], and Bilson out at Shag in Hollywood on May 29th. [via] She is also seen drunk. [via]
And here's Rachel Bilson's "Stuff Magazine" photoshoot:
A shaky teaser trailer taped live in the theatre for "Snakes on a Plane" has come out. "Snakes on a Plane" (warning: site has music) asks the question "What if you were trapped on a 747 full of deadly snakes?" and stars Samuel L. Jackson. You've undoubtedly heard of it since it's become an Internet sensation due to its literal title and the fact that Samuel L. Jackson kicks ass.

Borat hit Cannes with a bevy of cute women that were probably picked up on the beach for his photo op. In case you're not familiar with Borat, he's Sasha Baron Cohen, Ali G's alter ego from Kazakhstan. He gets up to silly antics with less famous people than Ali G interviews. The Kazakhstani government is pissed that Borat tries to portrays their country like it's full of backwards yokels who abuse women. Most people just think he's funny and don't care that he makes fun of a nation of people.
Here is an 8 minute video of Borat visiting a dating service and getting advice from a dating expert. One of his qualifications for a potential mate is that "She must be tight, like a man's anus." If that's the case he may hurt the poor woman, because he claims to be big, "like a can of Pepsi."
And here are some pictures of his arrival at Cannes. His footwear is the best.There are ass pictures and some topless sunbathers that are NSFW.
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":
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.
A longer video of a Lindsay Lohan fan confronting Brandon Davis for his "firecrotch" rant has been posted on YouTube. You can even see the woman's face. She first yells at Brandon when he enters the club, and again confronts him when he comes out to smoke a cigarette. The video makes it seem as if she annoys Davis so much that he's forced to leave in a waiting limousine, but maybe it's just edited together to look that way.
The woman makes a good point when she tells Davis that Lohan earned her money while he got his from daddy. According to people dishing about the demise of Davis' relationship with Mischa Barton last spring, he had to ask his family for money constantly, which may explain his vile for "self-made" teen star Lohan.
Thanks to PhoenixComplex on the JJB board for posting the link to this video.

Kate Moss was so pissed off about Pete Doherty's blood squirting stunt that she asked him to come over to her place. When he arrived she promptly kicked his ass!
At least Doherty didn't fight back, but we doubt the junkie would have had the strength even if he wanted to. Moss shouldn't have even bothered with Doherty, though. Why doesn't she just ignore him? She's supposed to be dating comic Russell Brand now anyway.
Meanwhile Doherty's antics have lead his record label, Rough Trade, to drop his group Babyshambles. An source is quoted as saying: "Rough Trade were in the process of renegotiating a deal, but the talks broke down because it just proved to be so difficult to deal with Pete and the people he surrounds himself with."
Maybe losing his record label will help Pete follow-through on kicking heroin as he's been planning. It won't be easy, but he needs it desperately.
Here's Kate in a Primal Scream video:
Britney almost dropped baby Sean Preston this week, and you've probably already seen the pictures and video, below. She had a terrible week in the press, and ABC News discusses how she needs to revamp her image by laying low and staying out of the spoltlight for a while. (It also wouldn't hurt if she would wear clothing that doesn't reveal both her bra and underwear at the same time.)
Britney should take a lesson from Kobe Bryant, who was accused of much worse than stupid parenting, in order to revamp her public image:
Spears might turn to Kobe Bryant for inspiration, Cohen says. The basketball star's squeaky-clean reputation was forever altered after he faced sexual assault charges. Even after he publicly apologized to his wife for his infidelity, and reached an out-of-court settlement with his accuser, it was unclear if the public would forgive him.
"Kobe was able to rescue his image. He's even doing product endorsements again," Cohen says. "If he can turn it around, so can Britney."
Britney's latest foibles aren't as damning as driving with SP in her lap. It just seems like she's tired and fed up and it's reflected in her parenting skills. From the video below, you can see how she could get frustrated and stumble with all those people swarming around her. Of course she should have put down the glass, but she doesn't even know which way to walk and looks pretty dazed.
I'm not defending Britney, but I have a husband who's around and loves to spend time with his son and I have some Britney moments. My son, 20 months, sometimes refuses to get dressed or wear shoes. He throws a huge fit and it can be impossible to get him out of the house. The other day I said screw it and let him go out in his bare feet. The nosy neighbor came out on her porch and made fun of him and I thought "If that bitch only knew what I went through to get him outside." Maybe Britney feels that way too. If you read her new "song" to K-Fed, you can tell how exasperated she is. Even mothers with loving husbands can relate to baby burnout.
Right after the incident, Britney says "This is why I need a gun." She must want to clear away some of the paparrazi who she probably blames for the stumble. She doesn't need to kill anyone, she just needs to get away from photographers. Judging from Angelina Jolie's success in changing public policy of an entire African nation, it's possible but not easily done.

The video of Pete Doherty squirting a blood-filled syringe has come out. You can view it below with a watermark on the screen:
Or go to an article about the incident on MTV and launch the video from the bottom right. It's now available to viewers outside the UK. There's a commercial before it, though.
Somehow we were expecting it to be more dramatic.

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.
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.
Cacee Cobb, Jessica Simpson's closest friend and personal assistant for over two years, has moved on to other things. She celebrated her last day on the job May 7th:
A woman impersonating Cacee was arrested last summer after scoring nearly $12,000 in free stuff by capitalizing on Cacee's association with Jessica Simpson:
Jessica seems to have replaced Cacee as a best friend with hairstylist Ken Paves. They're photographed everywhere together.
Here's a nearly ten-minute clip from Newlyweds featuring Cacee after she moved in briefly with Nick and Jessica. The best part is Jessica saying that male ballerinas are called "Ballerino," the "masculine form" of the word.
People are saying that Cacee has hooked up with Nick Lachey, since she spent nearly a half hour talking to him at a club last week. They know each other well, and it doesn't seem like it means much.
Here is Jessica outside a NYC recording studio yesterday. [via] and [via]
Nick Lachey's new album "What's Left of Me" is a clear and heartbreaking exploration of his very public breakup from fellow singer Jessica Simpson. Critics are saying the music is decent pop, if a bit melodramatic and depressing:
If so, then Nick Lachey's new solo album, "What's Left of Me," could prove cathartic; If not, it might leave you a bit depressed...
The disc - a somber, soulful, angsty collection of 12 ballads - is a slickly produced, raw-nerved confessional of his heartbreak and an open letter to Simpson.
In "Shades of Blue," one of the album's best tracks, Lachey pines for a lost love, foolishly awaiting her return. He asks, "Why did you have to leave? Why did you have to set me free? Why did you have to go?" But he takes an angrier tone in "I Do it For You," expressing his wish to see her "bleed and see how it feels..."
Realizing that he must move on ("I don't want to waste another day stuck in the shadow of my mistakes"), the title track has Lachey telling a potential lover to make him "whole once again."
His brooding songs, sung in a clear tenor, span different stages of grief, sometimes within the same track - there's resentment, regret and acceptance in "I Can't Hate You Anymore" - until he reaches his "Resolution," pledging his commitment to let go. Finally.
Set to a pop soundtrack, his pain becomes palpable, raw, universal. His pain becomes ours.
Here's the video for "What's Left of Me." It's pretty good.
The NY Daily News is reporting that Nick decided not to respond to former miss Kentucky Lizzie Arnold, who he was supposedly dating in January. She was said to have sent him several voice and text messages in a vain attempt to get in touch with him before the Kentucky Derby. He was busy with Petra Nemcova the next day, so why would he bother with a past hookup?
Stars attending the CDs release party at Mood in Las Vegas last night include Sophia Bush, Drew Lachey, Wilmer Valderrama, Ryan McPartlin, Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Ryan McPartlin, Sophie Monk, Stacey Keibler, Lance Bass, Traci Swain, Casey Swain and Bonnie Somerville.
Britney Spears make a surprise visit to the David Letterman show last night. She joked a little with Dave, confirmed her pregnancy and read the Top Ten.
Referring to earlier banter with Paul Shaffer about Britney's possible pregnancy, Letterman said to Britney "Are we on to something here?"
"Don't worry Dave, it's not yours."
Britney looked happy and seemed excited to be there, but she kept kicking her legs, which made her come off as nervous. She was also chewing gum! You're not supposed to chew gum during a television appearance!
After Britney read the Top Ten "Suprises of the Bird Flu Movie," skipping the word "Tamiflu" because it was too hard, Dave said "So, we've established that you are in fact pregnant?"
"Yes."
Here's the best video currently on YouTube. Once a better one is up, we'll post it.
CBS also has a video online through the Late Show website but it's in Real Player format, which won't install for us here, and you may need to disable pop-up blockers and use IE.

Lindsay Lohan appeared on MTV's Total Request Live yesterday, capping off a day of more hard work giving interviews and showing up for stuff.
Here's a blurry video of her appearance:
She seems out of it and defensive, and she really needs to rest. On the Today Show yesterday she said she works harder than her friends' parents, and is the hardest working person she knows. Matt Lauer questioned her about substance abuse, and of course she denied she had a problem, talking rapidly and sniffing all the while.
Here is Lohan on TRL and a couple of candids of her out in NY with a new boyfriend(?) [via]
Pink is the New Blog has another recent picture of her with a different guy in what looks like an ad.
Update: the guy is 20 year-old James Burke, a model/musician who has also dated Kate Moss.
Michelle Rodriguez appeared on MTV's Total Request Live and Good Morning America yesterday. Her character was killed off this week's episode of Lost, but she has played it off and insists it's not due to her legal trouble:
But she insists her legal problems had nothing to do with her departure from the show - she had always planned to quit the series before she became a regular member of the cast.
And now she's keen to get on with her post-Lost life.
She says, "I planned it. When I signed on I kind of wanted (an) exit. I'm a gypsy, man. I need to be doing different things every year.
"I stays (sic) in one place too long, I get in trouble..."
Here's a Good Morning America interview with Michelle and a quick recap of her death and love scene on Lost. She said that her death was planned from the beginning, but that she didn't tell the other castmembers. She also said that her arrest taught her that it's time to grow up.
Here are pictures of Michelle on Total Request Live [via] and some candids of her in Hollywood after being released from jail. [via] She must use the same cosmetic dentist as Hillary Duff.
Tom Cruise actually attended the Mexico City premiere of Mission Impossible 3 on Monday. He seems to care more about his fans than his wife and new baby. No other stars from the movie, not even secondary ones, appear in the premiere pictures so it can be assumed that he's the only one who went. If I'm wrong let me know.
When asked about Suri at a press conference, he said: "The hours go by so quickly, as I just stare at her." He also dismissed claims that he ate the baby's placenta, calling them "ridiculous." You said it, Tom.
Here's a brief video of excerpts from Tom's press conference in Mexico. He discusses MI3's director, JJ Abrams, and baby Suri. He seems distracted, tired, and out of sorts.
And here are pictures of him basking in the attention.
We have plenty of Lindsay news and pictures today. Lohan made her second appearance on Saturday Night Live this week. She first appeared on the show in May, 2004. Commentors on the bulletin board where we found the pictures noted that she was funny in a couple of skits, but that the dialogue was bad.
Here's a video of one of Lohan's skits on SNL. She plays the fictional hip-hop artist "ambience" in an MTV parody. Wait until the video loads and then move the bottom cursor to the middle because she doesn't come on until halfway through, and the rest is not worth watching.
Here are screencaps of Lindsay on the show and arriving at the after party.
Lindsay Lohan is rumored to be in talks to play the anime action character Sailor Moon in an upcoming movie. It's a pretty weak rumor, but good enough for us to report:
The source goes on to say that they really hope Lohan doesn't get the part. She certainly hasn't shown her acting skills yet, although it can't be too hard to jump around in costume and play an cartoon character.
You can see the full E! True Hollywood Story on Lohan on YouTube. Here are the links, which launch automatic video: [via]
Here are pictures of Lohan out in NY and with her sister recently [via] and [via]
Lindsay Lohan is starring in the romantic comedy, "Just My Luck," which is due for release on May 12th. It's a good thing she has several other films in the can, because the plot is rather dumb and familiar, and "Just My Luck" won't do much to bolster her film career.
In related news that you may have heard already, Lohan really wants to get a fashion contract, and is hinting that Versace is interested in her. She was passed up by Chanel for being too young, and by Louis Vuitton for being too "American." Now she's meeting up with Donatella Versace, and has eagerly blabbed about it, saying that she's "going to spend time with Donatella on her boat," but that nothing is decided yet.
Here are some stills from "Just my Luck." [via]
And here is the trailer to "Just My Luck." It looks really bad, we have to say.
Paris Hilton sang happy birthday at a party held for 80 year-old Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner. She wore a bra, panties and garters and exhibited a surprisingly good singing voice. Hef was also feted by Donald Trump, Three-6 Mafia, Jenna Jameson, Bill Maher, and Oliver Stone.
Here's the video of Paris singing to Hef and some photos of Paris and her mom Kathy at the LA Lakers "3rd annual Mirage Las Vegas Casino Night and Bodog Celebrity Poker Invitational" benefit on April 12, 2006 in Santa Monica, California. She certainly likes to suck on things.

Carmen Electra could lose her contract representing Max Factor after she rode the Sybian on Howard Stern last Friday:
Now it seems, the cosmetics company she represents - Max Factor - is raising more than just an eyebrow; sources are reporting that her contract is now under review due to her on air antics....
On air:
"It feels great. I have to get one for the house. It's awesome. This is the best thing I have ever felt in my life. I felt like I was going to take off."
Carmen denied doing anything wrong, and said she just sat on a vibrating chair. After seeing the video, it seems pretty tame to us although she does seem to get something out of it.
Mariah Carey appeared on MTV's Total Request Live yesterday to premiere her new video with Snoop Dogg and Pharrell, "Say Something." It's not that catchy of a song, and the background track is too repetitive. The video jumps around to different luxurious scenes in Paris and in high end shops, and although it's interesting it's not fabulous.
Here is Mariah at Total Request Live and outside the MTV studios yesterday. Sure she looks good now that she's lost weight, but why does she continue to dress like she's 14?
Pictures [via]
Here's the video for "Say Something"
Britney is being investigated by the Department of Children and Family Services. It was initially thought that the visit was due to the incident where she was photographed driving with Sean Preston in her lap, but it turns out that there's a potentially scarier situation with Sean Preston.
A source tells Us that the Sheriff’s visit was part of the ongoing investigation into allegations that Spears drove a car while her baby, Sean Preston, sat on her lap. “It was part of the child endangerment investigation,” says the source, who adds that Britney was told ahead of time by her lawyers that the DFCS would be paying a visit. “She knew they were coming. It was all standard.” Source says that Spears’ attorneys do not Britney to be prosecuted. “It’s all political. They have to do [the investigation].”
We assumed it was just a routine visit too, until we read that Star is reporting that poor Sean Preston has a fractured skull!
They had every right to fret. After rushing Sean to a nearby hospital, they discovered he had a minor skull fracture (sometimes called a "scalp fracture" in babies), and a blood clot. And the doctors weren't the only ones to take notice! The next day, the Department of Children and Family Services began looking into the incident.
That's scary and it's hopefully just due to the highchair fall. We learned on Law and Order that child abuse is usually committed by the father. We're just saying.

Britney is getting all sorts of bad press this week. First she is supposedly stress-eating, and was told by her record company to shape up or risk her career:
A source said: "[Britney] went to the supermarket one day and loaded up on chips and all sorts of chocolate
bars. She brought it all home and has been chowing down like there's no tomorrow..."
"She's been so depressed over Kevin and the state of her marriage that all she wants to do is eat to stop the pain."
Poor Britney. It must be hard to be married to Federjerk, and hopefully she'll find a more constructive way to deal with her stress.
She also isn't even in the top 100 of FHM's sexiest women this year, and one of Kevin's exes (not Shar Jackson) has said that she better shape up or she'll lose Kevin. Maybe that's why she's taking her time about it.
Britney has a new single which you can partially hear online. You can download a 50 second mp3 of "Just Yesterday" from breatheheavy.com.
Here is Britney dancing to her new song. The video says it's called "Little Me," but it is credited as "Just Yesterday" on breatheheavy.com, and is supposed to be about her sister. She's still got the moves and the song is lovely.
Kevin Federline and Britney Spears are reportedly fighting because KFed feels that Britney steals all the attention at events promoting his album. Both Star Magazine and Life and Style report that Federline feels lame because he can't get any recognition on his own. The gossip rags have a similar take on Kevin's promotional appearance at Club X in Dallas on April 1st.
Life and Style reports:
“But when Britney walked in, the crowd went crazy.”
“It’s always about Britney — or Britney and Kevin as a couple — but these events are about Kevin,” says a K-Fed insider, who adds that Kevin arrived at the club solo to keep the spotlight on him only. (Brit arrived about half an hour later.) “I’m not even sure Kevin thought she was coming, because he was just focusing on himself.”
"He didn't want her there to steal his thunder. He feels that whenever Britney is around, she inevitably gets all the attention. However, a source close to Britney, 24, says she's the one who's mad, thanks to Kevin, 28, and his oversize ego.
"What he doesn't seem to understand," the source fumes, "is that the only reason anyone is interested in him is because he's Britney Spears' husband. He would not have an album if it weren't for Britney."
While Britney's right about being the bigger star, she has mistaken ideas about where she should focus her efforts. She seems to think her forgettable drop-in appearance on Will and Grace is the beginning of an actual acting career:
“She hasn’t stretched this much since she took on the role of impressive pop singer.”
— Neal Justin, staff writer, Minneapolis Star Tribune
“She has no presence, she struck awkward poses in terribly unflattering outfits and the drawl wasn’t very convincing.”
— Matt Roush, senior TV critic, tvguide.com
In case you doubt these negative reviews, you can watch Britney's "acting" for yourself. She is a bigger star than her husband - but she's a pop singer, not an actress:
Guess the text messages that Paris sent Nicole in a bid to reconcile with her ex friend were just "words that she wrote" because Paris lost her patience with Nicole and has talked a bunch of trash about her:
"I've been best friends with her since I was two, but when I brought her on to my show, she got very jealous and turned on me for no reason.
"It breaks my heart. She was my sister. She was the funniest person to be around and then she let the fame go to her head.
"I never want to speak to her again - ever."
Paris - your sister's name is Nicky. It's very similar to Nicole and all, but they're different people.
Also, speaking of letting fame get to your head - what is up with this video of you taking your own picture over and over again?

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:
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:
"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.
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.

Nicky Hilton attended a cocktail party held by retail consulting firm Directives West in LA last night. She donned her typical black satin attire with black boots worn over jeans. Nicky needs to liven up her wardrobe a little and call in some help with her boring clothing line.
Here's Nicky's sister Paris walking the runway at the 2BFree fashion show. There are also interviews with Kelly Osbourne, Haylie Duff, and an obviously drunk Tara Reid.
A new 25-second teaser trailer announcing the release date of the Simpsons Movie was shown at the premiere of Ice Age: The Meltdown. It features Homer in a skintight Superman T-Shirt and announces the release date of the new movie as July 27, 2007. Only 15 more months!
Here's the trailer: [via]
As we mentioned yesterday, we caught Tom Cruise's appearance on the German show Wetten Das last night. There's now a video up of Cruise losing the bet and riding a motorcycle on stage on the show. (Note: Cruise is wearing an earpiece which gives him an English translation of the host. The video is in German, but it's easy to figure out what's going on.)
The first four pictures are from the Wetten Das website, and the rest are our exclusive screencaps of the show (Ok, so I took pictures of the TV. I have a laptop that plays TV, but the thing is new and is not working yet), which reaired this morning. The kiss marks on the bottom of the screen in one of the pictures show the progress of the bet, in which two girls had to identify lip prints from their classmembers. Tom said that the girls wouldn't be able to do it, and lost the bet since they were 4 for 4.
Six more pictures after the jump.

Update: we posted Britney's appearance on Will and Grace in two parts yesterday, but here's a better single edit of the show that includes the end.
Trent on Pink is the New Blog is right - the writing is terrible on Will and Grace. Britney also cannot act for shit, and her southern accent is terrible. Thank goodness they're killing this series finally.

Teri Hatcher and Ryan Seacrest were photographed making out on a Malibu beach. Teri Hatcher doesn't seem dumb enough not to be in on the joke, although she did expect Clooney to stick around and then used her painful past to get back at him, so she's not that bright overall. Still, she can't be as delusional as Zellweger, and chances are that she's getting something out of this other than bad publicity.
An eyewitness says Hatcher and Seacrest were "very animated" which is code for "very bad actors":
“Teri frequently laughed loudly at Ryan’s jokes,” says an onlooker. “They were very animated with each other.”
Here are the pictures of Hatcher and Seacrest making out that will be published in this week's US Magazine.
And here's a video of Seacrest flirting with Anderson Cooper on CNN. Cooper tells Seacrest that his big tie "works for him." Then Seacrest points out that Cooper's tie is "tiny and mine is huge." "I've heard that often," Cooper responds. Ow!

Paris Hilton likes to kill time with vanity as seen in this video of Hilton at fashion week in LA taking her own picture over and over again. It's rather boring and mildly sickening.
Hilton has been seen out twice with Stavros Niarchos in the past few days, belying rumors that the couple has split. We think Hilton just needs men around constantly to satisfy her vanity.
Here are Hilton and Niarchos and a carful of friends heading to Teddy's night club in Hollywood to see Prince perform. Hilton and Niarchos were photographed earlier on Wednesday after a trip to the Virgin Megastore in Hollywood.
Eight more pictures including Hilton boarding a private plane headed for Vegas on 3/24 (the girl does get around) after the jump.

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

Via Oh no they didn't comes Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Henney's Japanese Beanpole ad. It's flirty and sexy, and you might enjoy it.
Here's Gwyneth's husband, Chris Martin, out with their daughter Apple, almost 2, in NY on 3/18. [via]
Here is recent video of Britney taken at the same time as the photos which were posted earlier. Each video is only worthwhile at the beginning. Once Britney leaves the rest is filler.
In this video, Britney arrives at a dance studio on March 16 with several friends. Her belly button is poking out of her top, which fueled speculation that she was pregnant.
Here is Britney arriving at the recording studio in LA on March 17 with a new fluffy hairdo. You don't see her for long, but she does seem to be covering up her stomach with a jacket.

Sky Showbiz is reporting that Christina Aguilera has a nipple ring. It looks like she's had it for a while, as you can see in this older picture.
Lindsay Lohan also has a pierced nipple.
Following on from Lindsay Lohan's recent exposure, a fresh case has confirmed fears that the disease is spreading.
This latest evidence comes from Christina Aguilera, whose symptoms include a nipple ring poking through her top.
Here are pictures from Aguilera's recent private performance in Moscow. She reportedly received $1 million for the gig. Pictures [via]
Update: Christina showing off her other ring on Access Hollywood:

Normally that is not news, but there's a video of a very drunk Tara getting into her car. She must not be able to afford a cab. [via]
Portman is a Harvard graduate and reportedly speaks five languages. I don't really believe it, though. I have a friend who speaks four languages and she's always getting confused. (She actually super-smart and I'm just jealous of her.)

Everyone's seen the video of Portman rapping on SNL. Here's a Japanese TV commercial she stars in for shampoo that aired between 2003-2004. It's got a sword-fighting theme and she's a little fierce, in a non-threatening way.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are supposed to be planning a wedding that will take place next week on a boat in the middle of Italy's Lake Como near George Clooney's villa:
This sounds rather far-fetched, considering that George Clooney seemed earnest when he said in an appearance on "Larry King Live" on 2/16/06 that the couple had not asked him to use his villa for a wedding. He also said he was friends with Pitt but that they weren't very close:
CLOONEY: No but I will now. He can come there if he wants. A bunch of tabloids, all the tabloids had that that he’s coming to my house to get married. I wanted to rent a bunch of tables, you know, and put them outside and then get a bunch of like kids or something dressed up in tuxes and watch them in tuxes and watch all the cameras come by.
From what Clooney said, (and Clooney is always right) it sounds like the tabloids just make this shit up. It makes no sense that Brad and Angelina would choose to get married on a boat in the middle of the lake near a villa that an aquaintance owns. It's pretty fucking stupid, actually.

Pitt was the face of Edwin Jeans, the "Levis of the East," from 1996 to 1999. He has appeared in Japanese ads for the Toyota Prius and for coffee, but only lent his fame to one US ad - a Heineken commercial for the 2005 Super Bowl.

Ben Affleck appears in a mildly funny new ad airing in England for a spray deodorant called "Lynx." In the commercial he carries around a little counter which he uses to count off every glance he gets from admirers around town. At the end of the commercial he's bested by a scrawny-looking guy who uses the deodorant.
We hope Ben gets some film work soon. [via]
Less than 100 people had viewed this before we linked it, and there are no clicks from other sources, so you get to see it here first.

Britney Spears does not know how to cut her losses. Instead, she's attempting to miminize them by putting Kevin on a budget:
Page Six goes on to quote a source that witnessed Britney screaming at Kevin on her cell phone for not visiting her all day.
Obviously things are strained between Britney and Kevin. There's also been a lot of speculation that she's pregnant. The latest news is that she told someone at the Four Season's spa that she's pregnant and that she cancelled a photoshoot because of her growing midsection.
While some call the latest photos of Britney in a bikini inconclusive, a video of Britney walking in Hawaii on March 4th shows the pop star with a discernable bump as she moves around:

TMZ gets to the bottom of recent reports that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are secretly married. 
According to eagle-eyes at the gossip site, the pair were seen wearing rings on their thumb and middle finger. They know that everyone is scrutinizing their every move and just want to keep us guessing. We're sure it was Angie's idea - everything is. These are the revealing pictures from TMZ's report.
Here are some quick E! News highlights from Angelina's Nightline interview from early February. It also gives some background on what Angelina and Brad go through on an average day out. The whole Nightline interview is also available as a four-part series. Just search on "Angelina Nightline" at YouTube

Here's an incredible video of the opening Simpsons credits filmed with real people. It's meant to publicize the 17th season:
Paula Abdul has been visibly intoxicated on American Idol for at least two seasons now. In some of last season's auditions, Abdul's slurred comments are edited down to the bare minimum, and the camera spends very little time on her. Trying to fend off rumors of drug abuse, Paula released a statement in April of last year that she was suffering from a rare neurological disorder that causes burning pain, Complex regional pain syndrome. Here's what she said at the time:
Notice the distinction Paula makes between taking something for medical and recreational purposes. She never said she doesn't take drugs, she just said that she doesn't think she's addicted and implied that if she is on medication, she needs it for medical reasons.
A year later and Paula's condition doesn't provide enough of an excuse. People think she needs to sober up before she goes on live TV, and newspapers are buzzing about her ridiculous behavior:
With Heather Cox and Brenna Gethers standing on stage, Ryan Seacrest asked Paula why they were there, and Paula replied, “Simon said because one of them ate pizza and the other ate salad.” Then she started giggling crazily.
She went on to mumble something about a fortune cookies, a moth, cornflake, and a melon. This is true.
All of this comes on the heels of Paula's breech of security at LAX.
Defamer has video of Paula's breakdown on American Idol, and here's a clip of a saner, buffer judge as Barry Bonds impersonates Paula Abdul.
