Katie Holmes: A Sight for Sore Eyes

Rumor has it that those hideous sores that appeared around Katie Holmes's mouth shortly after going public with Tom Cruise in May were from a Church of Scientology "detoxification" procedure involving the vitamin niacin. The New York Daily News suggests that Katie could have gone through Purif, a purification regimen that rids people of toxins. The procedure stems from
Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's declaration that taking niacin in combination with exercise and sauna sessions purges the body of "radiation," Hubbard's shorthand for negative alien substances in the body. Silly us! We assumed Katie got the sores from making out with Tom too much.

Oh, Baby(sitter): More on the Jude Law Nanny Scandal

Don't expect Sienna Miller to forgive Jude Law anytime soon. Yesterday's
Sunday Mirror reported that just over a week ago, Jude called Daisy Wright, with whom he was having an affair earlier this year, and asked her to meet for lunch. Though they scheduled a date, the meeting never happened because Daisy sold her story about their sexcapades to a British newspaper. Meanwhile, we're still trying to wrap our heads around the New York Post's coverage of Nannygate. It made the front page three times last week. And in one article, they called Jude a "bad-boy actor" -- so not true -- and Sienna an "A-list actress" -- so not true. Must have been a slow news week.

Kevin Federline: Deadbeat Dad
Britney's hubby, Kevin Federline, is being called out as a deadbeat dad. Apparently Kev, who is expecting a child with Brit this fall, skipped the first birthday party of his son Kaleb, one of his two children with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson. Shar's spokeswoman said that Kaleb's birthday "came and went without a visit, present or phone call from Kevin or Britney." Shar has also accused Kevin of stiffing her on child support payments. What a catch, Brit! We're so jealous!
