  • Even George Clooney has "ugly" days.

    Okay, gorgeous George is not ugly, but he is looking a little rough around the edges, right? He showed up at the Venice Film festival with this beard and those bags. Methinks he needs to hit his home in Lake Como for some R&R after he's done promoting Michael Clayton.

    If you said skinny-mini Keira Knightley, you would be correct! This no-nonsense little lady chimed on on how she feels about the young, panty-less, crotch-flashers of today, at the Venice Film Festival. She's feisty!

    I don't know what it is about Jennifer Garner that I like so much. Maybe it's her girl-next-door quality or because I so loved her in 13 Going on 30 (especially the scene with the Thriller dance!), but I just think she's adorable. Here's Mrs. Ben Affleck, and mother of Violet, in Tokyo, promoting her new movie The Kingdom.

    Jen told People that she took plenty of hard hits on the set of her new flick. "It was so down and dirty that [I] had scratch marks that we had to cover up on my face for the next few days," said Jen, who plays a U.S. government agent sent to investigate a bombing in the Middle East. But Ben, the always supportive husband, urged Jen to, well, knock herself out."He was just like 'Go, go for it, babe! Harder!' I thought it would have made him a little bit nervous to see them chucking me against the wall, harder and harder with every take."

    They are just so cute. If my hubby and I were movie stars we would be just like them.

    Which sassy starlet gave this quote about the recent boom of crotch-flashing celebs?

    "I'm not going to get blind drunk and then stumble out and fall over an puke up in front of people. I'm not saying I don't do that in private, but I try not to. The whole celebrity thing is not magic. They're real people proving they're s**ttier than everybody else because they don't even wear knickers."

    Was it:
    Keira Knightley
    Kate Beckinsale
    Thandie Newton
    Emma Watson

    While her hubby David Beckham is nursing his bum knee, Victoria Beckham will bring home the bacon with a guest spot on super hit, Ugly Betty. After weeks of speculation, ABC confirmed the fashionista will play herself on the adorable show. Rumors has it that Victoria will be a bridesmaid at the wedding of Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams) and Bradford Meade (Alan Dale).

    Access Hollywood caught up with Betty herself, America Ferrera, for her thoughts on having the Posh one on her show. “She definitely belongs in the MODE world. She’d definitely be somebody that Wilhelmina is good buddies with."

    If they need any help deciding on Vicki's wardrobe for the episode, I have a one word for them: poncho.

    Larry Birkhead is steaming mad over the allegations that he is in cohorts with Anna Nicole Smith's former main man, Howard K. Stern. OK! magazine said that they dropped Larry from an upcoming issue because of some nasty accusations coming out in Blonde Ambition, the new book from Rita Crosby. But Larry says it's all crap and he's not going to take it lying down.

    "None of it is true," Larry told The Daily News. "I'm gonna sue Rita Cosby for it."

    Meanwhile, OK! says they are just looking out for baby Dannielynn. "It breaks my heart that OK! has to pull out of [the] shoot," said Editor Sarah Ivens, "but first and foremost, we care dearly about the well-being of the young one, and my moral obligation lies with her."

    Larry says the mag is just mad that he was on the cover of OK!'s rival Us Weekly, and told TMZ, "I was just threatened via email by [the reporter] that OK! would do a negative story on me if I did any stories with any other mags. Ridiculous!!! I am not sure what planet she's on but I am not going to be threatened. She blew it!"

    Such drama. They're all just a bunch of bickering puppet heads in my mind.

    He can run but he can't hide!

    Britney Spears's ex-manager, Larry Rudolph, who has admittedly been hiding out in fear of getting served, has been found. Perez Hilton reports that Larry was caught inside a Sunset Tan location in West Los Angeles and handed a subpoena. He was ordered to appear in court as a witness in the ongoing custody battle between Brit and her ex, Kevin Federline.

    Larry had released a statement to theotherblog.com, earlier in the week saying:

    "As her former manager, I know and understand Britney better than anyone, I know what makes her tick and I understand everything she's going through. With that being said, my loyalty will always stay strong with Britney. I have consulted with my lawyers and I do understand that eventually the time will come when they will find me, but until then, I'm trying to avoid being brought into this mess. She's going through so much right now and I wish Britney the best."

    Larry will join a plethora of Britney insiders that Kevin is hoping to use to bury his ex.

    UPDATE: In new court documents that have been released, it is revealed that Kevin's lawyers intend to serve Britney's "sober companion" (insert joke here) and a former nanny.

    The papers also disclosed Brit's income: $737,868 A MONTH, with Kevin receiving $20,000 a month in spousal support. The Fedster "has no net income after business expenses," the papers say.

    Good thing Britney has all that cash because, according to my calculations, she's going to need to spend about that much in legal fees.

    For someone who is so strapping , David Beckham is quite fragile. Just two weeks after the British import made his highly anticipated debut for the L.A. Galaxy -- and after nursing an injured ankle for nearly a month -- David got hurt on the field again! This time, Posh's hubby sprained his right knee just 33 minutes into the match.

    "It's just gone from one thing to another thing," he said after the game. "Maybe it's time for me to just say, 'I need the rest,' and get it right and don't come back until it's right. I'm devastated to have been taken out of the game, because I was looking forward to this game. I've been given the rest to try and get my ankle feeling better, and it felt better."

    Unfortunately, David could be benched for at least month. "At this stage, it's hard to tell, but it doesn't feel good," he told reporters. "With a ligament strain, it's four to six weeks. We'll have to wait and see," he said Wednesday. "I'm going to have a scan tomorrow, and we'll see the full extent of what it is and how long I'll be out, but at the moment, it doesn't feel great."

    Well, at least he has his looks.

    E_BritneySpears4_136.jpgPerez Hilton has Britney Bare Ass Spears's new single, Gimme Me... and it ain't that bad.

    It starts out with the declaration: It's Britney, bitches, which scared me... for her. But it got better -- thanks the miracle of studio producers. It sounds a lot like one of Madonna's songs -- sorta echoish because her voice has been mixed so much.

    But I didn't hate it or laugh out loud or slam my head into my computer monitor, so maybe she has a chance at a comeback here. I mean, if Avril Lavigne can sell albums, surely Britney can. There are way more crap singers than her.

    E_DaveLetterman_136.jpgDave... Oprah. Oprah... Dave.

    Circle September 10 on your calendars, David Letterman fans. The press shy king of late night TV is going daytime... for one day only. He'll be guesting on Oprah when she brings her show to New York.

    E_Oprah_136.jpgThese two have a long history. Lady O appeared on Dave's show years ago, then became annoyed with the funnyman for jokes he made about her on "the program." So when O turned down a few visits to be a guest on his show, Dave waged a campaign to get her on. Every night he'd talk to sidekick Paul Shaffer about having Oprah on the show. Finally, O gave in. She appeared on his show in December 2005, the night her Broadway play The Color Purple debuted right near his midtown Manhattan studio. They also appeared together in a hilarious Super Bowl commercial.

    So I'm looking forward to this... and hope my strange celebrity crush Dave is at least a little serious. Would love to hear more about his son, Harry, longtime girlfriend... as well as all those crazy stalkers he has.

    Setting the DVR now.

    Jessica Simpson is so mad that her ex John Mayer is hooking up with Cameron Diaz! Us Weekly is reporting that a source close to Jess said the singer is "really jealous" and can't get over it.

    "She had her mouth open a mile wide when she found out,” says the source. “She just freaked.” John dumped Jess in May, after a seven-month fling, and Jessica is still reeling. "She thinks about him all the time,” the spy said. “She is so not over him.”

    And Jessica might be waiting a while if she's thinkiing about swooping back in when John and Cam to break up. The new couple "looked very cozy" -- just last week -- at a club in NYC.

    No need for the MTV staffers to load up on band-aids and antibiotic ointment, as Amy Winehouse has pulled out of performing at this year's MTV VMAs. After canceling her North American tour, a representative for Amy tells Us Weekly:

    "In a continued effort to support Amy Winehouse's well being, in addition to the postponement of her U.S. tour, all other U.S. appearances have been canceled."

    Amy has been on the crazy train for weeks now. The most recent nuttiness? Pictures were published of the singer and her hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, cut and bloodied, after some sort of domestic dispute. According to sources, Amy and Blake are currently vacationing in the Caribbean.

    They really should try vacationing, um, I don't know, say, IN REHAB?

    You would think that Lindsay Lohan's parents would be concentrating on their daughter's recovery -- instead, these two freaks continue to use the media to rag on each other.

    Lindsay's dad, Michael Lohan, who is supposedly going to see her in rehab, called Perez Hilton to give him en earful on his ex-wife, Dina Lohan. In the transcript posted on the gossip guru's site, Michael accuses Dina of a a boat-load of things, including lying, using Lindsay for money, and keeping her "drunk," "degenerate," "rapist" boyfriend around the children. Michael, who has had his own troubles with substance abuse in the past adds, "I’ll give you a tape - a video confession - of someone who came up to me and said, ‘Michael, I know for a fact that Dina does cocaine because I delivered it to the house to her.’"

    Not to be outdone, Dina released her own statement, simply saying, "Now the world will know why eight people were issued criminal stay away orders of protection until 2011 against Michael Lohan.”

    Get a grip, loonies! Is there really any mystery left as to why Lindsay is so troubled?

    Taking a page from disgruntled exes Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, train wreck couple Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston continue to trade barbs.

    In newly released legal papers, filed last month, Bobby claims that his ex is doing her best to keep him from their 14-year-old daughter. "Since Whitney has been awarded sole legal and physical custody of Bobbi Kris, she has attempted to eliminate me from Bobbi Kris' life," he said. "I did all I could to see my daughter ... I also paid approximately $10,000 for Whitney and Bobbi Kris to live in a nice hotel while Whitney was going through rehab ... I basically lived out of my car. I have not seen or spoken to my daughter since early June and I have no prospect of speaking to her or seeing her anytime soon due to Whitney's actions."

    In her declaration to the court, Whitney claims that the Bobster has been "almost totally uninvolved in taking care of [Bobbi Kristina]," and that she believes "Bobby is going to try to get child or spousal support from me ... Bobby is fully capable of working and earning substantial sums of money if he would control her personal behavior."

    I just think these two are hilarious. Have they seen themselves on Being Bobby Brown? Bobbi Krisitna should be counting the days until her 18th birthday, when she can run far, far away.

    Contrary to earlier reports regarding the very sad suicide attempt of Owen Wilson, his attorney has told Access Hollywood that there was no evidence of a drug overdose. Police were called to Owen's house after the actor slit his wrists, however his lawyer said that the actor did not have his stomach pumped, and though Owen was taking anti-depressants, he was not aware of any other drugs in his system at the time of the incident.

    In addition, the Santa Monica City Attorney’s office has announced they will not be releasing the 911 call made regarding Owen. Here's an excerpt from the press release:

    “In reaching this decision the City believes that in many instances no person should have to worry about whether placing a call for emergency assistance will automatically make his or her medical request open to public review. In balancing the competing interests, the City agencies outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the emergency 911 call. In situation such as this, the City concludes that the public is best served if medical attention is promptly sought instead of being delayed because of a concern, real or imagined, of public attention, regardless of whether that publicity is sympathetic or not.”

    In other Owen news, the actor has dropped out of his latest flick, Tropical Thunder, currently being produced and directed by Owen's good friend Ben Stiller.

    We're sure that, just like us, Ben just wants his bud to get better.

    You won't be seeing Larry Birkhead pimping more pics of little Dannielynn, on the cover of OK!, any time soon. The mag, that had paid big bucks for the first photos of Larry with Anna Nicole Smith's little girl, has dumped him as their upcoming cover boy.

    According to the Daily News, the glossy was to have featured exclusive coverage of Dannielynn's first-birthday party as part of a $1.7 million access deal. But now disturbing allegations from the new book, Blonde Ambition, set to be released next week, has caused OK! to back out of the deal. The book speculates that Larry and Anna's creepy lawyer/husband, Howard K. Stern, who both claimed to be the baby's father, may have actually struck a backroom deal.

    "My biggest fear is that Larry and Howard may have tricked us all," OK! editor Sarah Ivens said in a statement yesterday. "The newly obtained allegations are detailed, shocking and potentially incriminating. "It makes it impossible for OK!, in good conscience, to promote this family's highly questionable relationship in our pages."

    How sick is that?

    Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking... Please pull out your sick bags, conveniently tucked into your seatback pocket before you click on this photo of Britney Spears's bare behind.

    This snapshot was taken yesterday in Beverly Hills. Britney was reportedly wearing a pink thong but... I can't see it, so I don't believe it. I do see a whole lotta other things though.

    Time to get your dancing shoes all scrubbed up, as the new cast of the insanely addictive Dancing With the Stars has been announced. This year's crop of twirlers is as interesting as ever and there's plenty of oldies-but-goodies to root for in this bunch. Here's the list:

  • Spice Girl and Eddie Murphy baby momma, Melanie Brown
  • Sabrina Bryan, who's apparently a Cheetah Girl
  • Helio Castroneves, an Indianapolis 500 champ
  • Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA basketball team
  • My girl, Jennie Garth, a.k.a Kelly from Beverly Hills: 90210
  • Model/actress Josie Maran
  • All My Children sweetie Cameron Mathison
  • Floyd Mayweather, the World Boxing Council Welterweight Champion of the World, and your pseudo-Evander Holyfield
  • Wayne Newton, who will, no doubt, have panties thrown at him
  • Marie Osmond, destined to be good at moving to both the Country and Rock n' Roll tunes
  • Albert Reed , an Abercrombie & Fitch model and this season's eye candy
  • Jane Seymour, of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman fame

    Noticeably absent from the list are Jennie Garth's ex Peach Pit bud, Tori Spelling, and Victoria's Secret supermodel Gisele Bundchen. Both girls were rumored to be taking the stage but Tori must be busy with baby Liam, while Gisele must be busy with not-Tom Brady, Jr. (um, no).

    Who are your favorites from this new cast? Will you watch? Will you care enough to pick up the phone and vote? You know you will...

    What is in the water over there at the Hollywood Villas? First The Hills' most notorious couple, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag got engaged, and now another MTV alum is getting hitched!

    Lauren Conrad's ex, the recently rehabbed Jason Wahler, has proposed to his girlfriend of a big six months. Jason popped the question to college tennis player Katja Decker-Sadowski, his rep confirms, in front of a bunch of friends, including Lauren (!), at a housewarming party in their Los Angeles home. Jason presented his 19-year-old lady with a four-carat emerald cut diamond.

    No wedding date has been set for the couple.

    That's just crazy talk! I'm sure they'll be on an episode of MTV's Engaged and Underage before you can say annulment. Jason also returns for a guest stint on The Hills on the Sept. 10 episode.

    I just love a juicy blind item --this is courtesy of the Daily News's Gatecrasher:

    Which international sex symbol had to return to her own country to terminate a pregnancy that was the result of a brief fling with a U.S. hip-hop titan?

    My guesses, based on absolutely nothing? Shakira and Wyclef or Sienna Miller and Diddy? Your guesses?

    It looks like Lindsay Lohan is taking steps to rehabilitate her relationship with her father, Michael Lohan. Page Six is reporting that Lindsay's older brother suggested a meeting between the two. "It's a part of the healing process," a friend said. "Lindsay will see him later this week, but she will have counselors with her. It will not be alone."

    In order for her dad to get clearance to visit her in her Utah digs, Lindsay's mom, Dina Lohan, needed to lift a restraining order she had against her ex. "Dina thinks it is a good idea," the friend said. "Lindsay needs to deal with this and needs closure." Michael, who has had a past with drugs and alcohol, has said he's been sober and found God since leaving jail earlier this summer.

    A rep for the Lohans said, "Yes, he will be seeing his daughter."

    Can you handle it?

    Britney Spears's new single is ready and could drop as early as next week, according to Entertainment Weekly. The song, called "Gimme More," is produced by Timbaland protégé Nate ''Danjahandz'' Hills, and is said to be the track that Britney was filming a video for in July. You know, when she was wearing that hideous stripper outfit?

    Anyway, the buzz is that the new song is an up-beat club song and -- get this -- it's good! ''People are going to love [the new single],'' raved a source. ''It's like when Justin [Timberlake] came back — she's got a whole new sound. She's funky.''

    A different insider, who's heard the new sound, is also loving it. ''It's a smash! She's going to come out strong. The only question is, with all the drama, are people going to want something fun or something more serious? This is a dance single.''

    Do you believe it? I want to. I want to love the song. I want to be singing it in my car and dancing to it in the shower. I always root for the underdog -- even when it's a train wreck like Britney -- that's just how I roll.

    Yup, that's the word on the street from gossip guru Perez Hilton. Sources say everyone on the set of Shia's new flick, Indiana Jones 4, is buzzing about the hot hookup. Just last week, Rihanna and the Transformers actor were seen chilling out together at a bar, now they reportedly had a romantic dinner at Kate Mantilini in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

    Apparently there's enough room for you and Shia under Ri's umbrella!

    OwenWilsonUsCover.jpg
    Of course Owen Wilson was going to be on the cover of US Weekly this week. So here's what the mag is toting as the focus of the cover story:

    While the actor's ex Kate Hudson was reveling in her new romance with Dax Shepard, Owen was "hitting rock bottom." Us reports that Owen attended a church in Santa Monica (perhaps looking for guidance?) just three days before his brother Luke found him at his home, with a slashed wrist, having taken a ton of pills.

    Though most of us were shocked by this terrible incident, sources say those close to Owen and Kate knew that Owen was struggling with some major demons. The insiders report that Owen has a history of depression and an addiction to cocaine and heroin (though a rep for Owen adamantly denies the actor has ever used those drugs.)

    Friends close to the ex couple say that Owen's bad habits took a turn for the worse after he and Kate broke up. "We always thought he was just too fun-loving, but now it's obvious he was just dealing with way too much to handle," says a family friend.

    Owen continues to recover in Cedars-Sinai Hospital, and hopefully will get the help he needs to beat those demons. We wish him well.

    Like many of you out there, I despise Paris Hilton and everything that she represents. Because of this, I've been trying to follow the old "If you don't have anything nice to say..." rule, so I don't bore you with my anti-Paris rants. I've been pretty good, right? But I just came across this photo of her -- without her hair extensions in -- and I thought she looked good with this short 'do, so I had to share it. It's my first pro-Paris remark in a long time ever. The photo was taken Tuesday in Las Vegas, where Par-ass was hawking items from her new Paris Hilton clothing line.

    In a "take that" move, actress Bridget Moynahan has announced the name of her brand new baby boy -- and there's not a Brady in sight. Bridget's boy, with New England Patriot's Quarterback Tom Brady, has been named John Edward Thomas Moynahan, according to her rep.

    Now this chick knows how to stick it to her ex. Bridget gave the baby four names and not one is even close to "Brady." She could have even thrown in a "Brad" -- but she didn't.

    But Bridget's rep says all is just peachy and happy between the new parents. "She is thankful for a healthy baby and is excited about being a mother,” she said and adds that the actress “was very pleased that the father, Tom Brady, was able to be there for the birth.”

    I can almost hear the clenched teeth in that statement -- and can see the smile on Tom's current girlfriend's face , supermodel Gisele Bundchen, from here.

    It seems that there is a never-ending dark cloud over Britney Spears.

    Police are investigating a car-ramming incident that occurred when a Britney friend, Sam Lufti, was approached by Kevin Federline's legal team, who attempted to serve Sam with a subpoena. According Kevin's people, Sam got scared and repeatedly rammed his Mercedes into Aaron Cohen's Range Rover and his assistant's Buick. But Sam tells People his own version of what went down. He says he was "surrounded by three cars and was hit from the front, back and right side of my car. If I did hit anyone, it would have been in self-defense. I was just trying to get to the police."

    The incident is being investigated as an assault with a deadly weapon (the vehicle) and detectives are looking into the case.

    Crazy, right? I can only imagine what else is going to happen before this is all over. But the real question is what are these people so afraid of saying on the stand, about Britney, that they'll run and hide to avoid being subpoenaed? Make me wonder...

    There are still many questions surrounding the hospitalization of Owen Wilson -- but one has been answered. Extra has obtained the Calls for Service report from the Santa Monica Police Department, which lists the reason for the 911 call from Owen’s house as an “attempted suicide.”

    Sources also confirm that Owen's brother Luke found him. Owen is being treated in Cedars-Sinai hospital, where he is listed in “good condition.”

    Brandon Walsh a.k.a. Jason Priestley turns the big 3-8 today. Where has the time gone? Wasn't he just hanging with the gang at West Bev High? Anyway, if I were one of J.P.'s pals -- like someone who would be invited to Casa Walsh for Thanksgiving -- here's what I would send my boy...

    diaperdude.jpg

  • Jason and his wife, Naomi Lowde, recently had a baby girl, so I'd like to send Jase a very cool Diaper Dude bag from Red Envelope, for all of Baby Ava's diapies and wipies. ($52)

  • Because Jason managed to steal the spotlight from Paris, Lindsay and Britney and ended up on the cover of Us Weekly, he is in desperate need of a quality frame for that glossy -- it may never happen again. They have some nice, affordable ones at Target. ($11.24)

  • I'm sure Jason is missing all that peach pie that Nat used to serve up at The Peach Pit, so he should indulge in some cheesecake from the famed Cheesecake Factory. They have over 30 varieties of the decadent dessert to choose from so he's bound to find something to satisfy his sweet tooth. (avg. price of one slice: $6.50)

  • Finally, to keep those sideburns mean and clean, a Remington shaver is bound to keep Jason from reverting back into his Brandon Walsh Mutton-chop days. ($49.50)

    Total: $119.24

    It may seem like a hefty amount to spend on Jason, but I owe him a lot for being a part of 90210, which will always be my favorite show ever. So happy birthday, Jase, you'll always have a special place in my heart.

    "How you doin'?"

    Well, "not great" should be Matt LeBlanc's response, since Camille Cerio, who acted as Matt's former manager from 1994-1995, says the actor owes her tons of cash. According to TMZ.com, in a letter filed with the lawsuit, dated April 4, 1994, Matt writes that "a check in the amount of 15% of the gross compensation for pilot and series derived from Friends Like Us" be made payable to Camille. Friends Like Us was the original title of a little show later renamed Friends (remember that?).

    Matt fired the girl in 1995, but she says he continued to call her for career advice through 1998. Now she wants some of his millions. A rep for Matt gave this quote: "In a land of meritless lawsuits, this is the king of all cases without merit."

    Matt needs to get a good lawyer for this one. With the way his career is going he needs to hold on to as much cash as he possibly can.

    Does soda in a baby bottle and a bag of Doritos every now and then rank as child abuse?

    Attorneys for both Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were back to work yesterday, for a hearing in dependency court, which handles child abuse claims, among other things. According to our friends at Access Hollywood, these matters will take precedence in Brit and Kevin's ongoing custody battle, with all other issues being put on hold.

    "If the county feels the kids are at risk, they will begin an investigation. If they find either or both parents aren’t capable or unwilling to parent the children, the county will file a petition in juvenile court, Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Steve Cron told Access. If that happens, Britney and Kevin would be allowed a 'full blown' hearing where they can bring witnesses and experts to testify on their behalf. The judge would then decide if the county needs to step in, possibly taking over custody over the kids, according to Cron."

    For now, the details of the dependency court hearing are confidential, so we can't positively say if they are investigating Britney's parenting, Kevin's parenting, or both.

    TMZ .com reports that the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services "abuse investigation" into Britney Spears does not involve physical mistreatment of her children. The concern is centered around Sean Preston and Jayden James' alleged "poor eating and sleeping habits."

    I have to admit that, just yesterday, I bribed my 16-month-old with cookies and ice cream to smile for a picture at the Sears Portrait Studio. Does that make me a bad mom?

    I have to tell you, Blabber-ers, when I saw this item in this morning's Daily News I immediately thought of you.

    "Eight brave party-crashers found themselves ejected from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's New Orleans fund-raising dinner in Southampton Saturday night. The interlopers used heavy fog to sneak into producer Jane Rosenthal's back garden while 90 guests enjoyed cocktails around a tented pool."

    I thought to myself, "Was it you, Stephanopoulos, that tried to crash the party? Or could it have been Chatty Cathy, who was sad she wasn't invited?

    Just a reminder of how much we appreciate your comments -- good or bad, we're always interested in what you have to say. And by the way, was it any of you that tried to get an up close glimpse of Brad and Angie?

    Did anyone watch the Teen Choice Awards? Me either. That's the type of show that you don't watch to see who won (FYI: High School Musical swept) you watch -- or read about online -- for the red-carpet happenings. Some observations: Kelly Clarkson seems to be rocking the Posh Spice haircut. Who's next? It's like the new Rachel cut. Larry Birkhead and American Idol reject Sanjaya were there -- not together -- but it's like: Whyyyyyy? And Jessica Alba has reportedly reunited with Cash Warren, but she didn't bring him. She had her hands full with her surfboard trophy anyway.

    Lindsey put together a best & worst photo gallery from the Teen Choice Awards, so check it out.

    Charlie Sheen and his fiance, Brooke Mueller, took his kids for a day of fun at the beach. Unfortunately, the family had to contend with more than a couple of seagulls ruining their good time. Seems Charlie and his brood were accompanied on their day out by a court-ordered escort, who also happened to be his ex, Denise Richard's, former assistant.

    Charlie has been fighting Denise for the right to be able to see his daughters without supervision. "Here is my and Brooke's weekend with [Sam and Lola] being sullied by one of her spies," Charlie told People.com during an exclusive interview at "Kids Connection" – an Art of Elysium benefit hosted by Brooke Shields in Malibu. "That is the thing I have to put a stop to. I can't spend quality time – times I'm never going to get again – quite frankly being observed by a perfect stranger."

    Charlie's hoping the courts rule in his favor soon so that he can have an "unpolluted relationship with my children. It's a very loving, safe, comforting, supportive, nurturing environment for these children," he added. "Brooke and I are incredibly stable. We go to malls, to movies, to parks – we just try to keep it interesting," he said. "We have stuff at the house that they are really excited about that isn't double what they have at [Denise's] so when they come to my place, it's special."

    Denise needs to back off and get over it. Charlie seems happy and content with his new life, and his kids can benefit from seeing him like that. Denise needs to get a hobby -- other than making her ex's life miserable -- and find that sperm that she is looking for, somewhere else.

    What a sad news morning.

    Nick Hogan, son of wrestler Hulk Hogan, was seriously injured in a car crash Sunday night, when his Toyota Supra crashed into a palm tree. Nick's car "inexplicably left the road," Clearwater, Fl. Police spokesman Wayne Shelor tells PEOPLE, "and it was totally destroyed upon impact." The cause of the crash is unknown, although police believe the car was traveling at a high rate of speed.

    Nick, who's only 17, and his male passenger had to be extracted from the vehicle using the "jaws of life." They were placed on a Medivac helicopter where they were flown seven minutes to nearby Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. Nick is said to be in serious condition, while his passenger has been listed in critical condition.

    Hulk and his family are reportedly in a private waiting room at the hospital, as Nick is being treated for "very serious, life-threatening" injuries. If you've ever watched Hogan Knows Best on VH1 you know how close this family is. Our hearts go out to them.

    UPDATE: TMZ.com has confirmed that Nick was released from the hospital this morning.

    Pop star and Dancing With the Stars alum Willa Ford said "I do" to her honey, Dallas Stars hockey player Mike Modano in Athens, Texas on Saturday.

    People.com reports that Willa and Mike tied the knot on a private ranch and the bride wore a dress she designed herself. The couple, who had dated on-and-off for four years, got engaged in 2006. This the first marriage for both.

    I bet Willa's man is thrilled that she was on DWTS -- it probably saved him from those dreaded pre-wedding dance lessons.

    Straight from their hot-dog eating, tourist shopping day in New York City, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie hopped a private helicopter flight to The Hamptons, where they hosted a fabulous dinner party to raise money for the rebuilding of New Orleans.

    The more than 50 guests, including Christie Brinkley, Ellen Barkin and Jimmy Buffett, were served cocktails followed by dinner (a buffet of lamb, salmon and corn pudding), all under a giant tent decorated with black-and-white photos of everyday life in New Orleans. Both Brad and Angie were decked out in white, as well.

    Brad gave a speech on helping those affected by Katrina, while Angelina adoringly looked on.

    This is so out of nowhere. Owen Wilson was hospitalized Sunday night, after his brother Andrew allegedly found him with his wrists slit, next to an empty bottle of pills. People.com is reporting that Santa Monica police issued a statement saying officers responded to a "medical assistance call" at Owen's house on Sunday.

    "The person was transported to a local hospital where they are being treated," the police statement said. Later in the evening, Owen's brothers Andrew and Luke, as well as his parents, were seen at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.

    The National Enquirer editor-in-chief told Perez Hilton that when Andrew found him "both of Owen’s wrists were slashed superficially and Owen had taken an overdose of pills." Owen is said to be in stable condition, as of now.

    We're not usually inclined to believe the Enquirer, so we'll keep you posted as the details of the story unfold, but this is so shocking!

    Paul McCartney likes his flaxen-haired women. Just a few weeks after sparking rumors that he's romancing model Christie Brinkley, spies say that the Beatle was making googly eyes at Renee Zellweger on Saturday night!

    Renee, Paul and Christie were all at the Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers concert in The Hamptons, where Paul and Renee were said to be enamored with each other -- much to Christie's chagrin. The Daily News says that Renee, "smiled, laughed and hung on the 65-year-old musical icon's every word," while their photographer spotted Christie, "casting what appeared to be less-than-delighted glimpses in their direction."

    Paul's a frisky old guy, ain't he? At least his taste is improving since splitting from ex Heather Mills.

  • AmyBruises.jpg
    And you thought Amy Winehouse was only battling drugs and alcohol these days...

    The troubled British singer, who is supposed to be cleaning up after an alleged heroin overdose, was photographed bruised and bloody after a reported row with her partner-in-crime/partner-in-life husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

    AmyBruises2.jpg
    The Daily Mail ran photos, allegedly taken early Tuesday morning, showing a swollen Amy with bruises on her neck and bandages on her arms with makeup smeared down her face and blood-soaked shoes. Blake's face was completely scratched up.

    The day after the alleged battle royale, the couple were seen together, walking arm-in-arm. And PerezHilton.com reportedly received texts from la Wino -- a former cutter -- saying Blake had nothing to do with her bruises.

    "Blake is the best man in the world. We would never ever harm each other," Perez quoted Amy as saying. "I was cutting myself after he found me in our room about to do drugs... and rightly said I wasn't good enough for him. I lost it, and he saved my life."

    Not sure what the real story is. I don't really want to know what the story is. But Amy is suddenly coming from behind and threatening to take the lead as the UK's most tragic celebrity... and I really thought Pete Doherty had that one in the bag.

    Here's Mommy of the Year Britney Spears exiting Opera nightclub in L.A last night. So how do you think it works... Does Britney tell people that, in order to roll in her posse, they have to dress exactly like her? And if they're female, they have to wear the exact same outfit?

    Back when I went out every night (oh, the days...), my gal pals and I never wanted to be seen wearing the same thing. That was a faux pas. Not for Britney. Hey, at least she's dressed... and not a crotch in site.

  • Things are just going down the toilet for Kirsten Dunst. Seems the actress left her hotel in NYC's SoHo, to film scenes for her new flick, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, when thieves snuck into her room and ripped her off. The villains made off with a $13,000 handbag, $2,500 in cash, and some other of Kiki's belongings.

    Luckily, cops say they've caught one of the thieves -- a plumber, who was being held on $50,000 bond, on burglary and grand larceny charges, and are searching for his alleged accomplice, whom they've identified.

    Uh-oh. I think I may have bought one of Kirsten's bags on 42nd street yesterday.

    Missed the auditons for So You Think You Can Dance?

    Well, I may just have the info you need to get your second chance at dancing stardom. According to our friends at Access Hollywood, Jennifer Lopez has kicked off a nationwide casting call in search of a dancer for her upcoming music video. The “Secret’s Show Us Your Moves” competition teams J.Lo up with Secret Deodorant in search of a woman 18 years of age or older who has the skills to move and groove.

    The auditions began Thursday inside the Roseland Ballroom in NYC, where the contestants had 30-seconds to impress the judges. This is what Jen said she was hoping to find:
    “I look for somebody who’s clean, who can pick up choreography but also has a stage presence.”

    The competition continues on to Dallas (Aug.30th), Atlanta (Sept. 6th), Miami (Sept. 7th), Chicago (Sept. 20th), and Las Vegas (Sept. 28th) in search of a semi-finalist in each city. If you can't get to any of these places (you have a job, or a family or no cash) you can submit a 30-second dance video to BecauseYoureHot.com by September 28th to be considered for the competition.

    The winner will be featured in a video for one the songs off of Jennifer's forthcoming album, Brave, which hits stores on October 9th.

    So, aspiring superstars, get out there and shake what your momma gave ya!

    Not be out done by their daughter, of course, Lindsay Lohan's spotlight-searching parents felt the need to make their own public statements on the latest developments in Lindsay's life.

    “I am overjoyed that the system sees that Lindsay is getting the help she needed by putting her best foot forward and by going to rehab, said her papa, Michael Lohan. "I think between her attorney, Blair Berk, and her therapists at Cirque Lodge, she’s around people that care about her best welfare and Lindsay as a human being. I just hope I can be part of the right path she is on.”

    Okay, I can accept that. But then, here comes Dina Lohan's madness:

    “My children and I are in a wonderful place in our lives,” she told VH1 News Thursday evening, “and people just want to make things up and see us fail.”

    "Wonderful place" in your lives? Your daughter is in rehab, is admittedly addicted to drugs and alcohol and is going to jail. What does a bad place in your life look like?

    Four days just ain't what it used to be. Nicole Richie checked in to the Lynwood, CA jail Thursday at 3:15 p.m.and -- due to jail overcrowding -- was released 82 minutes later, at 4:37p.m., according to People.com. By the expectant mom's side were her baby's daddy, Joel Madden and her lawyer.

    Nicole's booking stats? 5'1" and 105lbs. At five months pregnant.

    "Miss Richie was cooperative during the process," the sheriff's department said in a statement. The statement also claimed that Nicole's time served was "based on her sentence and federal court guidelines." Apparently, under the current sheriff's policy, non-violent female offenders sentenced to 30 days or less are booked and released within 12 hours. As part of the sentence for her DUI charge, Nicole also agreed to serve a three-year probation term, must enroll in an alcohol education program and was fined $2,048.

    I know my should mouth should be gaping that Nicole spent less than an hour-and-a-half in jail, but I'm more shocked about her weight. She's cracked the triple digits! Her booking photo is probably the best picture she's ever taken. Wonders never cease.

    Lindsay Lohan has just issued this statement to TMZ:

    "It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs.

    Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have.

    I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so."

    Four days, shmore shays. Lucky Lindsay Lohan has copped a plea and will serve one measly day in jail. Lindsay struck a deal by pleading no contest to two counts of DUI, for which she will serve one day in the slammer plus ten days community service.

    Lindsay also pleaded guilty to two counts of being under the influence of a controlled substance, which are both misdemeanors, and pleaded no contest to reckless driving. Linds will be on probation for 36 months and must attend an alcohol education program for 18 months. Lindsay was ordered not to use controlled substances, required to enroll in a drug program, and is required to stay for an unspecified amount of time at the Utah facility where she's currently in rehab. Finally, the judge ordered her "not to associate with people with controlled substances."

    So, there's a lot of stipulations to this plea but, all in all, Lindsay got off soooo easy.

    Lindsay Lohan's movie Just My Luck may have bombed at the box office, but girl is one of the luckiest chicks around. TMZ is reporting that the L.A. County District Attorney filed criminal charges against Lindsay this morning. The charges are seven misdemeanors -- not one felony. And, there still may be a plea bargain. In a nutshell, if LiLo gets convicted of all seven, she'll serve the maximum of four days in jail, as opposed to what could have been years.

    Here's why it turned out this way. The DA says Linds' cocaine traces, in the Memorial Day weekend car crash, "were below the .05 grams required by office policy for felony filing." Sources say there were also problems even proving she was in possession of the drug. As for the second case (where she chased her former assistants' mother), another source tells TMZ that "the manner in which the cocaine was seized was questionable."

    Other factors in the non-felony charges:

  • The fact that Lindsay's two busts were so close together actually helped her -- it shows she's battling an addiction.
  • She immediately checked to rehab after the second arrest
  • Her childhood was messed up, due to her loony parents

    So it looks like Lindsay will get a reprieve. What are your thoughts on this new development? Fair or not fair? Tell me.

  • Forget 3:10 to Yuma... Christian Bale is 3:10 to Yummy.

    Long before he was Batman, my friend Natalie and I crushed on Christian Bale. I first heard of the UK born star when I watched Laurel Canyon, some crazy stoner flick -- costarring Frances McDormand and Kate Beckinsale – in which Christian's character's girlfriend got awful cozy with his mama.

    Because of my love for Christian, I had to post these delicious photos of him at the premiere of his new flick 3:10 to Yuma, which took place in Hell-A on Tuesday. The pretty lady is his wife of seven years, Sibi Blazic. And, of course, the hairy guy with him is his not-as-Yummy costar Russell Crowe.

    Teri Hatcher has always freaked me out a bit. The one-time Lois Lane seems like a lovely lady (really!) and good mom, but the way she poses on the red carpet makes me uncomfortable -- like she's living up to the Desperate thing. You see, I think she's overdoes it with the "I'm a sexy star!" thing -- the messed up hair, batting her over-mascaraed lashes, turning her body in bizarre directions so that the camera captures her "best side." All those stories about her being a major diva, pain in the booty probably don't help. Anyway, here she is yesterday at the L.A. premiere of her new film Resurrecting The Champ. She's cozying up to the director, Rod Lurie, who couldn't seem less interested. I guess she's just glad to have landed a movie. Can't blame her.

    Does Teri seem desperate to you?

    The once-young and virile Richard Gere was looking very much like my grandpa yesterday, at the NYC premiere of The Hunting Party. Remember when he fell in love with hooker-with-a-heart-gold, Julia Roberts, in Pretty Woman, and when he literally swept Debra Winger off her feet in An Officer and a Gentleman? He's still handsome, but I'm pretty sure if Richard lifted anything close to Debra now it would be Ben-Gay city for weeks.

    Clean up on aisle five!

    Believe or not, as part of Lindsay Lohan's rehab road to recovery, the actress is picking up shifts at a local market in Utah. According to the new issue of OK!, Lindsay will be working at Smith's supermarket, which is close to the Cirque Lodge detox center in Sundance. The mag says that all of Lindsay's big blue collar earnings will go, of course, to charity.

    In addition to pounding the pavement, Lindsay has been looking into spiritual healing, doing yoga and writing in a journal, and still finds time to horse around. Cirque offers "equine therapy, where patients care for horses to help them with issues of trust."

    So that's what Lindsay is up to in rehab. Being a checkout girl, writing in a journal and combing some horses. Hey, it's an enormous improvement from clubbing every night, allegedly snorting cocaine, driving like a lunatic.

    A new celebrity trend! Pregnant behind bars!

    A Manhattan judge threw Foxy Brown behind bars on a probation violation charge -- a stunning blow to a rascally rapper who's uncanny ability to remain free despite numerous scuffles with the law had made her appear jail-proof.

    Foxy -- who is three months pregnant, according to her lawyer -- will spend at least two weeks, until Sept. 7, in Rikers, which has a pre-natal unit for pregnant inmates.

    The rapper announced in court that she also has plans to get married -- she so wants to be Nicole Richie.

    Waaaaah! Justin Timberlake told Access Hollywood that stories that he and superstar Madonna will be performing together at the MTV VMAs are false.

    "I am not. It was just a rumor," J.T. said. He did, however, talk about what it was like to work with her Madgesty. “There’s only one Madonna. It was amazing. I’m still trying to figure out if she knew we were there, cause I was just constantly staring at her. I became like the weird stalker in the corner!”

    Okay.

    Hopefully Justin is debunking the MTV rumors in hopes to keep the collaboration under wraps -- then it will be a fabulous surprise for all who are watching. Good idea, huh?

    My favorite place in the world, Martha's Vineyard, is a very small place -- 87.48 square mile to be exact, six itsy bitsy towns. So it can't be a coincidence that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were both there over the weekend.

    Last Thursday, Reese was photographed -- wearing a Menemsha Blues sweatshirt -- at the annual Agricultural Fair in Chilmark. She was there with her children -- Ava Phillippe and Deacon Phillippe -- and some friends. They were snapped having a picnic and riding a Ferris wheel. (Our friends at Pop Sugar have pics!) Three days later, Jake was photographed outside the Chilmark General Store.

    reesemain_pop.jpgSo it doesn’t take a Without A Trace FBI agent to figure out they were there together. Not to mention – Jake's parents, director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner, own a home there. Jake and his sis Maggie Gyllenhaal have been summering there since they were kids. Jake was even a lifeguard there when he was a teen. And he isn't shy about bringing the gal pals home to meet the 'rents -- Kirsten Dunst made trips to the Vineyard with him when they were dating. Reese, to my knowledge, has no connection to the island... other than Jakey.

    So I don't know who the "Reese insiders" are who are telling the celebrity weeklies that Reese is taking things slowly with Jake. It seems things are proceeding at Hollywood's typical rapid-fire pace: She, her kiddies and her sweetie are already apparently vacationing together... perhaps at his parents’ house.

    Love it! Next stop: a celebrity wedding!

  • Somewhere in Los Angeles, there's a future NFLer getting used to life outside the womb.

    Bridget Moynahan welcomed a baby boy on Wednesday in L.A. The baby's daddy is Bridget's ex New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, whom Bridget split with in December after dating for three years.

    "Mother and baby are doing well," Bridget's publicist told People.com -- clearly making a point not to mention the footballer, who is now dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

    No word on Baby Brady's name, but am curious as to whether or not B will go with Tom Brady Jr. That will really get Gisele fired up.

    I may buy tickets to Beyonce's concert just to see what's going to happen next. First there was the firework display gone wrong that injured two fans (who B visited in the hospital), then Jay-Z's lady fell down the stairs during one of her big numbers, now she's flashed her ta-tas! It was an accident, of course. Beyonce was doing her usual booty-shaking, when she shook it just a tad too hard, and sent her floaty dress right up over her bare breasts. The songstress recovered well and kept on dancing. It really was a "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" moment, but a moment it was.

    Ah, that Beyonce -- always a crowd pleaser.

    Update: Beyonce's publicist has told People.Com that, contrary to what you think you see, Beyonce was not without undergarments -- she was actually wearing a flesh-toned bra. Riiiiight. Was it a bra with nipples?

    In one of the more amusing celebrity arrests... Bill Murray may be slapped with a very unique DWI charge: driving a golf cart while intoxicated.

    Early Sunday morning, the Oscar nominated actor was arrested while slowly cruising through downtown Stockholm -- in a golf cart. When the po-po pulled him over, they reportedly smelled booze.

    "He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation," Stockholm police Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund told The Associated Press. "So we applied the old method -- a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in."

    The avid golfer, who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden, then signed a document admitting he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court. Then he was let go. He'll only be charged if the test results prove he exceeded the legal limit.

    Sounds like he really shanked it.

  • Britney! Why can't you just get it together and do one thing that might help you revive your career?

    Page Six says that Britney Spears backed out of recording a new song with former flame Justin Timberlake and uberproducer Timbaland. A music industry source said Justin wrote the duet specifically for Brit, and though they wouldn't actually record together in the studio, his voice would have been mixed with hers later.

    "Timbaland set aside a week out of his crazy schedule to do this -- and then, just before she was supposed to fly out, Britney abruptly canceled the session and refused to do the song", said the source. "It's crazy. She's looking for a comeback, and this would have not only been a huge hit, but something she could have opened the MTV Video Awards with and really blown everyone away."

    Brit's label, Jive Records, is said to be very worried by the fallen pop star's decision to pull out of what could have put her back on the map. "Listen, everyone is worried. In her mind, her album is done and she's done enough work... She's an easy target right now, because she's... sick. People like her are sick. It's like an anorexic who's sick in the head and needs help. She needs help. It's sad because what she's got -- and we've heard it's like bipolar disorder -- can easily be treated with medication, but she won't do it."

    I know I'm deluded, but I still dream of a Britney/Justin reconciliation. They were just so cute together. I'm sad, I know.

    Contrary to reports that rocker chick Pink and her husband, Carey Hart, are having marital problems, Pink's man says thing are picture perfect between the two. Stories were swirling last week that Carey, who's a motorcross champ and owns a tattoo parlor in Las Vegas, was seen getting verrrry cozy with a young chippy. Pink's man says it's just gossip and that his marriage is just peachy.

    The reports are "just a bunch of trash talk," Carey tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "It's just a nasty rumor. Everything's fine."

    Carey is set to leave for Europe next week, to join Pink on tour. No doubt that decision came after a phone call from his wife who said, "Get over here now, before I knock your block off."

    That Brad Pitt. Saving the world one solar-powered house at a time.

    Brad, who's helping to help rebuild New Orleans, is involved with the Global Green USA project and sat down for a chat with NBC's Ann Curry to talk about his passion for the environment and his and Angelina Jolie's new hometown. The interview, which airs Wednesday and Thursday on Today, taps into Brad's devotion to making this world a better place.

    Here are some colorful excerpts:

    On making the New Orleans re-build eco-friendly: “The first thing that gets sacrificed in affordable housing is lights, ventilation. You see here we got great light. There's windows everywhere. There is this great breeze coming in...And I think, for the family that's going to be here, especially being a father, that it's got to feel good to know that he's giving his family a better way of life. That he's able to contribute that way. Not only that, this house does not poison the environment.”

    On one particular inspiration:
    "I know a lot of the people here. I care very much for the area. I met a 60 year old man who...said [to me], 'I did everything right. I got a job. I bought a home. I raised my kids in that home. They did the same. Now...we're all split apart and we've been wiped out...What do I do?' And he's right...that's unacceptable. So any debate on 'should we rebuild, should we not' -- I'll take you on."

    On taking advantage of natural elements:
    "The idea that we pay utility bills is absolutely unnecessary...There's the sun. It's right there to be harnessed. You feel the breeze that's been created here. And we got water right out there. Any one of these can be harnessed...It's simple. It's smart. It's the way we have to be thinking. There's a lot of problems in the world right now because of our dependency on oil.”


    I commend Brad for his work, but often wonder how far these celebrities go in their own personal life to help the environment. Does Brad shake his head disapprovingly when Angie blow dries her hair? Does he think, "Use the sun -- frizz is just one price we pay for the wellness of our planet"?

    This is cool! Entertainment Tonight Canada is reporting that the Material Girl and Mr. SexyBack will be performing together at this year's MTV VMAs!

    Madonna and Justin Timberlake have been working on her new album together, and now the unlikely duo will hit the stage for MTV, in what is bound to be a hot performance. Whether you like JT as a person or not, and/or you think it's time for Madge to wheel her old bones to the rec center for Bingo, you have to admit that they are both stellar performers. Together, they will, hopefully, be magic.

    What are your thoughts on this upcoming duet? Excited? Don't care? Do tell!

    I'm sorry for any of you that had tickets to Amy Winehouse's upcoming tour, but I'm happy for her that she's being forced to slow down and get help for the demons that ail her. The singer, who has been in and out of rehab in the last few weeks, after being hospitalized for, what is now believed to be a drug overdose, is finally putting her health first. Her record label released this statement:

    "Due to the rigours involved in touring, Amy Winehouse has been advised to postpone her upcoming September US and Canadian tour dates. All ticket holders may obtain refunds at their point of purchase. Amy’s European and UK tour dates in October and November remain in place. Plans are being made to reschedule her US tour for early 2008. Until then, Amy has been ordered to rest and is working with medical professionals to address her health.”

    Get well, Amy.

    "My biggest inspiration and biggest competition is Justin Timberlake. He's the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level - black radio, white radio. If Justin hadn't come out and killed the game, I can't say that my album, singles and videos would be on the same level that they're on. We push each other. I look at me and Justin like Prince and Michael Jackson in their day."

    -- Kanye West, in the October issue of XXL magazine

    Huh. Kanye's always all "I'm the best, I'm taking over the world, I'll beat everyone," that I didn't realize his enormous head lent him the capacity to hear anyone else's music.

    She made it! Men everywhere are cheering that Heroes' beauty Hayden Panettiere is finally legal.

    Happy Birthday to Hayden, who turns the big 1-8 today! She can legally vote, buy cigarettes (which we, of course, DO NOT encourage), and have sex with without taking the risk of getting her partners arrested! Which is the best news for her boyfriend, Laguna Beach's Stephen Coletti, who was fooling around with exes, Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad, when he was just a tot.

    Stephen and Hayden have been dating for about a year now, so, while I'm sure Hayden had one heck of a birthday celebration, nobody was partying harder than Stephen. He's 21.

    I see photos of this British celebrity Katie Price -- who also goes by the name of Jordan though don't know (or care!) why -- and I don't see the appeal. She is the utter definition of hot mess. But these photos of her, taken at the launch party for her perfume "Stunning," couldn't be ignored. To me, she's equal parts Anna Nicole Smith, Pam Anderson, Jenna Jameson, Jessica Simpson and Madonna circa 1980. And that's not a compliment in any way, shape or form. She's also rocking the Sienna Miller eyebrows.

    Can anyone tell me why I should like her or want to smell like her? And let me know if you find this look "stunning."

    Anyone? Anyone?

    For all of you that imagined this heartbreaking meeting between Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, where Brad brings his baby daughter with Angelina Jolie, to meet his ex-wife, get over it! It never happened!

    Jennifer's rep, Stephen Huvane, told Us Weekly that an article published by Britain’s Look magazine, in which Jen dishes on her former fling, Paul Sculfor, and a recent meeting with Brad and Shiloh, is complete bunk. "The interview never happened,” says Huvane. “The events like Jennifer running into Brad with Shiloh at a restaurant is completely false as well, as are all the events and quotes they attribute to Jennifer."

    The mag also said that Jen had plans to continue seeing Paul, and would be flying back and forth to England. “I was very sad last month when he went back to live in London,” the rag "quoted" Jen. “But I’m going to be buying a lot of return tickets to Europe in the next few months so we can see each other.”

    If making up these stories aren't bad enough, they make Jen sound pathetic with their imaginary quotes. They wrote that the actress admitted that she was “turning into Bridget Jones” after she and Brad divorced, and spent days “lying on the floor surrounded by ice cream.”

    Take 'em for all their worth, Jen!!

    Paris Hilton and Adrian Grenier have been everywhere together lately. So what's the deal with these two? Are they hooking up? Working on some project together? Both? Adrian has admitted to working on some secret documentary about celebs and the paparazzi, so maybe this is all part of his plan to see how fast the press would link them as a couple.

    E!'s Ted Casablanca cornered Adrian's Entourage co-star and former Nicky Hilton boyfriend, Kevin Connolly to get the scoop on what's really happening between these two. "I would imagine it's just business," said Kevin. "I know they're friends. I swear to God on my mother, I don't know if there's anything more to it. I've been out of town!" So, would Kev approve of an Adrian 'n' Paris pairing? "Yeah, why not? Sure. I wouldn't disappove," he added. "I mind my own business."

    When Ted asked Adrian why he thinks the press can't get enough of his new gal pal, all he would offer was, "I don't know, what do you think? She has a light...that everyone focuses on."

    I think this is all part of Adrian's docu-whatever -- he supposedly has a girlfriend, Melissa Keller-- but I wouldn't be surprised if Adrian and Paris are doin' it -- just for fun.

    In addition to being the greatest mother Hollywood has seen in ages, Jennifer Garner has decided to take on another role. The ex-Alias star will be hitting The Great White Way in a new production of Cyrano de Bergerac in the Fall. Mrs. Ben Affleck will be playing Roxanne, opposite Kevin Kline's Cyrano. This will be Jen's Broadway debut.

    Since giving birth to cutie daughter, Violet, in 2005, Jen had been laying low. Now the actress has her new NYC stage gig, in addition to new movies coming out. Jen will star in the terrorism thriller The Kingdom, due out Sept. 28, followed by the dramedy Juno, set for limited release in December.

    My favorite role of Jen's to date is Mom. She and that Violet are just so darn adorable together.

    When Lauren Conrad said she was going to start "dating like a guy" she meant it. Recently seen out kissing and cuddling with Paris Hilton's ex Josh Henderson, L.C. has found a new guy to pass the time with.

    Page Six caught Lauren "holding hands and making out with dancer/actor Sean Zastoupil over the weekend at, her favorite hot spot, Les Deux in Hollywood." Their spy snitched, "They met a couple of years ago at a fashion show in San Diego for Dieter Schmitz's charity event RH4T and just recently reconnected."

    Well, good for Lauren for playing the field. We wouldn't want her to end up with someone like Heidi Montag's gem of guy, Spencer Pratt.

    cuba.jpg The clock is ticking on Cuba Gooding Jr.'s marriage. The Jerry Maguire Oscar winner has been seen around NYC allegedly hooking up with lots of random women, none of which were his wife. The Daily News reports that the actor was at Tenjune Friday night and "made out with about five different girls at his table," claims a witness.

    "First he made out with two girls. Then a fight broke out because some idiot thought he could hang out at his table, [but Cuba] was undeterred," the source told the paper. "After that he made out with at least three other girls. He does not discriminate, either — Asians, blonds, brunettes. The girls were getting p—d at each other also because they were like, ‘He just made out with me!'"

    This isn't the first time Cuba has been seen allegedly messing around on his wife. The paper received a similar report in June of the actor trying to pick up a girl in the parking lot of Katsyua in the Los Angeles. "He kept asking her to get in the car and go with him," said a witness. "The hilarious part about this is that you can see he's got a designer baby seat in the back of his car while he's hitting on my friend."

    He was also seen making out with a brunette in New York in February 2006.

    Isn't that lovely? Loser.

    I'm one of those people who laughs when people fall. I can't help it. In my defense, I will be the first to laugh at myself when I do something klutzy (which is often), too, so I can't feel that bad about having a hearty chuckle when I heard this story about Jessica Simpson.

    Seems Jess bruised her sniffer quite badly, on the set of her new army movie, Major Movie Star, when a prop got away from her. "She was in a combat scene and accidentally hit herself with a big gun on her nose. But she was able to continue shooting the movie,” Jess' rep told Access Hollywood. Jessica thought she had done some permanent damage, telling In Touch that she thought she actually broke her nose." It’s all bruised and swollen. The magic of makeup is doing wonders. Hopefully, when the swelling goes down, my nose will go back to normal.”

    Come on -- that's funny. Especially how her rep says "she hit herself with a big gun on her nose." That part kills me.

    Cameron Diaz and John Mayer are heating up. The couple took their budding romance back out on to the streets of New York. John and Cam who were first spotted out together in the city last week, were "all over each other" and "super flirty" at the Bowery Hotel Friday night, an onlooker told People.com. The new lovebirds sat together on a couch in the back of the patio and "were laughing and talking a lot" as the waitress brought several rounds of drinks.

    Asked if there really is something for us to be blabbing about and if John and Cameron are officially dating, a source close to John told the mag, "Yes, it's definitely true."

    A good friend of Blabber (FOB) and iVillage's Love and Sex producer, Marissa, has the distinct pleasure of running into, none other than, Kevin Federline, this past weekend. Here's what she had to say:
    "I had a prime people-watching table on the balcony at Tao in Vegas this weekend. We had heard the DJ say something about his "man K-Fed in the mother [bleeping] building!", but after scanning the crowd several times we didn't see him. Then all of a sudden, there he was in the DJ booth. The DJs and Kevin all seemed like buddies and passed around a bottle of Patron, that they swigged from directly. Kevin ad-libbed to a few songs (basically saying "ugh!" "what?!" and "I can't hear you!" over and over), and he had a flashlight in his hand that he kept shining around all over the place, either to prevent people from taking pictures or to illuminate his other hand, which he kept throwing "west coast" street signs with. To Fed's credit, the music got pretty good when he came out, but I was waiting and waiting for them to play "Popozao" and it never happened. What, am I the only one who liked that song?"

    Thanks for the dirt, Marissa, but, yes, you might be the only one who liked that song.

    Jessica Biel might want to check in on her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake. Two different sources reported that the sexy singer was canoodling with a different brunette this weekend, at an HBO party on the roof of the Tribeca Grand in NYC.

    "They were obviously into each other," said a spy for Page Six, of Justin and the "bronze-skinned" beauty. "It was just the two of them . . . he had no entourage at all." Another source dished to the paper, "He is notorious. He will [bleep] anything."

    That's not exactly what you want to hear about your man, huh?

But instead, she just lay there like a dead frog. She even got angry if I started to moan, said it ‘ruined her concentration.’ It was so disillusioning that I went on Paxil for a month afterwards. Really, it was much more of a shock than when I found out there’s no such thing as the Easter Bunny.”

    "It's amazing how you can't do anything now without people making up stuff," says Criss Angel to People.com, about the media frenzy that he created by being photographed holding hands with Britney Spears. At 4 A.M.

    "It's amazing what people think," the freaky Illusionist said about his relationship with the pop star. "We're not together. Her manager is my manager, and I'm helping with one of her shows. I'm helping with her appearance on MTV."

    Which gives credibility to another rumor, that Britney is actually going to perform at the VMAs in September. Will the illusion be that Brit has got her stuff together? Hopefully, for her sake.

    Regis Philbin really might have ruined one of the biggest days in Nicole Richie's life. After prying into Joel Madden's personal biz on Live! With Regis and Kelly, Reege let the cat out of the bag that Joel was planning to propose to his pregnant lovely.

    Now it looks the proposal may have actually taken place. Though there's no confirmation from their reps (and Nicole is not rocking any ring at the moment), news of the possible engagement was announced Friday night by a local radio DJ who came on stage after an acoustic concert by Joel and his brother Benji. A source at the show, told Us Weekly that the DJ “thanked the Madden brothers for performing and announced to the crowd to give a warm congratulations on [Thursday night’s] engagement of Joel and Nicole.”

    Joel didn't actually give anything away after the performance. The witness said, “Joel did not say anything about the engagement other than to wave to the crowd and acknowledge the roar when the radio personality made the announcement. He then walked off stage.”

    So maybe they are, maybe they aren't. Nicole and Joel are probably waiting to make the formal announcement to Diane Sawyer or something.

    The subpoenas continued to fly this weekend in the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline custody battle, with Britney's former rehab facility slapped with papers. Kevin's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, confirms to PEOPLE that Promises Treatment Center was hit with the documents Saturday morning, saying, "An executive administrator from Promises rehab facility was served with a subpoena."

    Britney spent a month at Promises earlier in the year and her manager at the time said she was "successfully" released. So why go after the rehab facility? "Strategically I don't think they are concerned with the treatment, but how she responded to that treatment," says a Pepperdine law professor. "Specifically, if she participated as she was supposed to. Did she have a positive attitude, did she complete it successfully. Or was she a screw up?"

    Meanwhile, as his peeps continued to hunt down people to testify against Brit, Kevin partied in Las Vegas this weekend. "He was drinking straight from the vodka and Jagermeister bottles," an onlooker said. "I didn't see him with a drink in his hand that much, but he drank out of the bottles a few times."

    Good Charlotte rockers Joel and Benji Madden took the stage yesterday at Live! With Regis and Kelly. After their performance, Reeg tried to make conversation with Joel, asking about his pregnant girl, Nicole Richie.

    "Yeah, we're expecting a baby," he said, to cheers from the audience. "I did it." Joel, who's is quickly becoming one my favorites, said that he's been reading up on the subject, with books such as What to Expect When You're Expecting, The Expectant Father and Baby Signs. How freakin' cute?

    Anyway, Regis then went on to put the engagement pressure on the daddy-to-be. "You're going to present her, maybe, with – did I hear the right thing, or should I not even talk about this?" Regis asked. "A little ring, or something?"

    Joel's response? "I was hoping it would be a surprise, but uh..."

    I'm sure Nicole didn't fall off the couch while watching this. We've heard she's already planning the wedding at her daddy's home. No harm, no foul, Reege.

    Just a little Friday update on everyone's favorite love 'em or hate 'em couple. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are happy and in love! Sorry, haters. Stories of Angie throwing wine at a the beautiful Brad over dinner? False.

    "It never happened," an editor for PEOPLE magazine told Access Hollywood. "Things have actually never been better. Anybody who has four small children knows it can be stressful. But the children really do seem to bring Brad and Angelina together."

    Brad's parents hating on Angelina? Nope.

    "Brad's entire family spent Maddox's birthday in Santa Barbara with Brad and Angelina. They have a good relationship and they spend time together.

    Brad is upset because Angie has an eating disorder? Uh-uh.

    "She eats three square meals a day, just like anybody else. She is chasing a lot of kids around. This is not somebody who is a sick person. She is definitely healthy."

    Sorry, Charlies. No sign of a breakup today. Check back tomorrow!

    If the NFL wanted a more widely appealing person to host, why not choose someone like Nick Lachey, who is a manly avid sports fan? Ryan is just too frosted for football. There is a thing called "overexposure" and Ryan has acheived it, like, 12 jobs ago. Please, stick with Idol, and the radio show, and the red carpet. No sports!!!

Page Six is reporting that Vicki has signed a deal with HarperEntertainment to publish "That Extra Half Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between." The new book will be "handbag-size style guide" set out to help women "learn how to dress for special occasions, shop for everyday wear and where to look for it, define the accessory look for you," as well as "helpful hints for the holidays, making the most of your wardrobe and how to feel confident and great every time you leave the house."

    I tend to give Posh a hard time on occasion, but today I will just commend her for sticking with what she knows and attempting to beautify the world with that knowledge. The girl is all about fashion -- whether or not I get it is not the isssue.

    Anyway... here's the clip.

    Thanks for your guesses to the earlier Who Said It?

    gweninstyle.jpgHolla back, girl!The sexy lady behind that very down-to-earth quote is gorgeous rocker chick, and mom to son, Kingston, Gwen Stefani!

    In the new issue of In Style, Gwen dishes on wanting to have another baby ("But I can't wait to get pregnant again. It's so fun and consuming and romantic,") her life as a working mom ("I definitely don't get enough sleep, but I'd rather spend time with him. I've got this extra-fun, amazing, little guy who just wants to hang out with me,") and how domestic her hubby, Gavin Rossdale, is (He's a creative cook. He makes whatever I crave, even when nothing seems to be left in the fridge.")

    You're jealous, I know. Me too.

    CAM_GYMSTORY.jpgWhile Cameron Diaz might be spending her nights getting sweaty with John Mayer, yesterday she got sweaty with a FOB (Friend of Blabber). One of my spies saw Cameron at a NYC gym yesterday (she's here making a movie) and made sure to size her up, so that she could share all of the details with us.

    "She looked no different than she does onscreen or in magazines," says FOB. "Really tall, really thin and super toned. She was wearing navy spandex pants, Nike sneakers, a tight white t-shirt and a blue sweatband. She was with a trainer. She was on the treadmill for a while -- I was next to her -- then did a lot of weight training with the trainer."

    So... about that skin. Are the rumors true? Should Cameron be the next celebrity to endorse ProActiv... and start using it?

    "Her skin actually didn't look bad at all," reveals FOB, "but she didn't look gorgeous or anything. Her face was a little sweaty, but no sweat stains on her clothes."

    Not that Cam would be rubbing a Tide-to-Go stick to get 'em out anyway.

    Make that her daughter and son.

    People give Kate Hudson a hard time because her little boy, Ryder, has long hair, but at least he doesn't look like a Pantene model! Cindy Crawford's son, Presley, must be washing his hair with egg whites, mayonnaise and rosemary oil because that boy has got some shiny locks.

    I predict his little sister, Kaya -- yup, the one who posed in those "suggestive photos" -- is going to be jealous of her brother's locks one day. If she isn't already. I am.

    Normally she totes her children, but last night Angelina Jolie was toting guns on the Chicago set of Wanted. She was actually double-fisting -- kinda like I did at college bars circa 1997. Well, my double-fisting involved aluminum cans not semi-automatic weapons.

    But it wasn't all work and no play for Brad Pitt's leading lady. After they got the shot, she let loose with a supertoothy smile.

    Jess_Biel_Swim.jpg
    Okay, Jessica Biel fans, you've admired her buff bod, fully clothed, and now you'll finally get the chance to see all those muscles rippling in the buff. Jess has signed for the flick Powder Blue, which will include "shots of her breasts (nipples from the front and side) and her butt (side view only)," according to Us Weekly.

    Justin Timberlake's girl has agreed to a contract "that explicitly details the bare minimum fans will see." In the movie, Jessica plays a stripper trying to earn money to raise her terminally ill son.

    Well, she'd get that cash a lot quicker if she took it all off.
