September 2007 Archives

It's vacation time and my hubby and I are headed down to Cabo San Lucas for some R&R. I have promised my love one full Britney Spears-free week, but I'm secretly hoping Britney flies down there and I make nice with her. I can see it now -- we'll bond over our babies, have some Margaritas and, before I know it, I'll be on next week's cover of US Weekly.
Seriously, Suzy has promised to take good care of you (like always!), and I will be back before you can say Jose Cuervo. I'll miss you!
Hasta la pasta, babies!


When you see this kid, doesn't she scream: Brad Pitt, Brad Pitt, Brad Pitt?!?
At the very least, you can cut Angie some slack as she is holding Shiloh.


This was in the NY Post yesterday, so I took a photo of it and meant to post it. It's an ad for the Canterbury Institute, which offers medical treatment for addiction. Nice that they're capitalizing on our poor little alleged homewrecker Lindsay Lohan during her time of need. Shameful!


Though he didn't shave his head during the show or throw a phone at someone in the audience, he was said to be bitching and moaning about the sound monitors and stopped the show at one point to move equipment. Seventy minutes after he started, he announced "last song," played it and didn't return for an encore.
"I don't know what the story was," guitarist Neal Casal told the Star Tribune afterward. "I just play guitar."
Now, to be accurate, this wasn't Ryan's first fit. He actually had another diva moment in 2003 back in the Minneapolis area. (What is it about Minnesota that makes him crazy? Maybe he takes issue with being in such close proximity to all the mall walkers?) That time, Ryan gave a famously bad performance ("a rambling two-hour show"), where he griped about the sound system, played several songs twice and lambasted local rock legend Paul Westerberg.
Well, that's it -- I'm putting my Ryan Adam tickets on Craig's List right now. Ha. Let's be honest... I didn't want to see him in concert before... and I definitely don't now.


The program consists of 52 hours of group counseling, bi-weekly interviews and 12 hours of alcohol education. Participants are also encouraged to attend 12-step meetings. According to People mag, the course, SB 38, is for those who have been convicted of DUI on more than one occasion within a 7-year period (and maybe who have spent more than 81 minutes in jail) -- like Nicole.
So, she's got three more months of attending these classes while pregnant -- then the baby comes. I hope this school has daycare.


The Lycee’s director of operations, Dan Cooke, decided the best way to handle the hoards of parents, who hang around in hopes to get a glimpse or autograph from Brangelina, was to send a letter to the overeager moms and dads.
“I’m sure you are aware the school has received much media attention recently during the arrival and dismissal times because of the presence of celebrities Ms. Angelina Jolie and/or Mr. Brad Pitt,” read the note, according to The New York Observer. “I want to make you aware that before the first day of school I met with their security team to discuss the best manner in which for them to drop off and pick up their son. Our foremost goal was to cause the least amount of disruption to the school and to ensure the security of all of our students and families. Regretfully, I have seen some parents taking pictures, asking for autographs, talking to the media and even shouting at Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt for recognition. Therefore, in the best interests of the school and safety of your child(ren) I must ask for everyone to please respect the family’s privacy and discontinue these practices.”
“The French are quite civilized,” commented a source, who has a sibling at the school. “But sure, you have the moms who get there a little earlier to get a little glimpse.” Though the source did say that Angie has apologized for the mayhem that her appearance at the school causes.
That letter from the Director of Operations made me laugh, because you know he's probably framed the part of Maddox's trip permission slip that Angie had to sign.


I prefer my dose of Matty M. sweaty and shirtless, but it's nice to know he could clean up nice when you take him home to mama -- though my mama would probably prefer him sweaty and shirtless, too.


Despite reports that King of Plastic Surgery Michael Jackson has married his children's nanny, Grace Rwaramba, Jacko says he's still single and available. You hear that, ladies?
"Wide spreading reports regarding Michael Jackson being married are not true," his publicist said in a statement to E! News. "Documents stating otherwise are a hoax."
The documents in question were supposedly obtained by the ever-reputable National Enquirer, in which Michael referred to himself as a "married man." The rag even quoted a source as saying, "Grace was happy to go along with it. She's always been devoted to Michael and has raised the kids since the day they were born. Michael knew she'd make a perfect stepmother."
But it's all a lie, so you can breathe a sigh of relief that you may still have a chance with the loon. Hey, I loved him, too, in the sixth grade. I had buttons of his face on my book bag -- but that was his old face.


When I heard the rumor that Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus, was pregnant, I wanted to run over to my seven-year-old niece's house and cover her ears! It's just so wrong. Miley was apparently a victim of some nasty internet rumor stating that the 14-year-old superstar was with child. But, instead of letting it bring her down, the good girl is using this opportunity to tell the world that she is a virgin -- and plans on staying that way for a while.
“It’s given me the street cred to say that would be impossible, because I’m living my life the way I believe is right and that is to stay pure," she told Extra. Adding that she absolutely does not believe in sex before marriage.
Uh-oh. Saying that is like an open invitation for scrutiny. Now, as soon as Miley gets a Nickelodeon boyfriend, the rumors will start to fly. It's a total Britney Spears thing. Remember when Britney said she was going to stay a virgin until marriage? Look how that turned out.


Joey, who scored a gig as The Singing Bee host, has sent a message out to his old pal Britney Spears. "Britney, call me, come over to my house, come to Orlando, get away from it all," he told Extra. "It's a good thing to get out of L.A."
The former boy-bander and Brit bonded when they went out on tour together, back in the day, and Brit was dating Justin. And like I always thought, Joey is just a good guy. "I think she just needs some time, some time to really heal," he said of Brit. "If you're there, let me know. I'm here for you, sweetheart."
Swoon. I just hope she doesn't take him up on it and ruin his life in the process -- 'cause then Britney will have me to deal with.


When Tracy and I met, we bonded over our love for General Hospital and Jack Wagner. Conveniently, we worked at Soap Opera Digest at the time, so when 3pm rolled around we'd watch the show from our respective work stations... and call each other during the commercials being like: Oh. My. God. Did you see that? If you were ever a fan of the soap hunk -- or any soap hunk -- you'll enjoy today's Daily Blabber TV about Heather Locklear discussing how she'd marry boyfriend Jack Wagner in a minute.
Also Blab-worthy? Lindsay Lohan's extend stay in rehab and those rumors she stole Steve-O's coke, Jennifer Lopez's Chipotle bump and whether or not Bridget Moynahan is going to split her OK! profits with Tom Brady. Meow!

The Sabrina the Teenage Witch star, who has a one-year-old son named Mason, is four months along with her second child. Daddy is her husband Mark Wilkerson.

No wonder it's so easy for her to earn a crap-ton of money for her various charities. She has 'em at the grin.


In Hollywood, 12 years of marriage is like 50, so I never would have predicted that Big Shots star Dylan McDermott and his actress wife, Shiva Rose Gharibafshar, would have split. But, yes, we'll have to add them to our 2007 Celebrity Breakup Tracker.
Funny, I always sorta mix up Dylan and Dermot Mulroney. I'm not sure why. But Dermot's marriage also ended this year. He had been married to Catherine Keener for 17 years. Maybe the guys can go out on the town together now and look for some new ladies. Or go sneaker shopping.
Although Shiva isn't a big star, she's been a red-carpet fixture over the years. When I used to read InStyle -- before it weighed 500lbs -- she would always be in the magazine for the various outfits she wore. But the last time they were photographed together on a red carpet was late February, so they've apparently been apart for quite a long time.
Hope they're happier.



Take a good look at this chick. Does she look like anyone you know?
Here's a hint... She's a model. Her dad's a musician. He has a famous wife. Musican and Famous Wife have a supercute baby who they tote around everywhere. However, Musican didn't tote Model around everywhere when she was a kid.
Take a guess, then click on the photo for the answer.


Wouldn't you think that he'd 1) want to avoid more trouble by laying off the pipe for a few months or 2) buy some friggin' Golden Seal with his millions and play puff-puff give until his heart's content.
Clearly not the smartest player in the line-up, right? Now I can see why he's in the position that he is. Duh!

Contrary to reports earlier this week, Lindsay Lohan will not be leaving rehab. Her mom, the upstanding Dina Lohan, informed Access Hollywood in an email, that Lindsay would be staying in Utah. A source close to the star also tells People that "Lindsay is not leaving Cirque Lodge in Utah any time soon. She has a few more weeks to grow and develop, and she is doing great."
Which is good to hear, because if Lindsay was out, she would have to deal with the fact that Jackass loser Steve-O told Howard Stern that Lindsay stole a stash of cocaine from his apartment, after she returned to retrieve the wallet she left.
Probably not something she wants to deal with right out of rehab.


So in the latest edition of Daily Blabber TV, I take on complaining Keira and discuss some other things like Matthew McConaughey's "engagement," Heidi Montag's breasts, Kiefer Sutherland's foursome (of DUI arrests) and more.


“No, no! We get this every week!” J.Lo told Us on September 20. “I don’t mind when people talk about this. I get the interest. I’m not the only [celeb] who gets these rumors.”
I get the denials, but the belly is undeniable. Maybe she had one too many burrito baskets at Chipotle? That kinda looks like my belly after I walk outta that place.


The new Paris Hilton is off to Rwanda to bring attention to the poverty-stricken nation. The heiress will travel to the African nation in conjunction with Playing For Good, an organization that helps bring celebrities together with charities this fall.
After her jail stint, Paris promised the public that she was going to change and use her celebrity to make the world a better place. She told Barbara Walters, via a phone interview, "I’m not the same person I was. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I want to do different things when I’m out of here.”
Well, I'm sure Paris's visit will do wonders -- and in no time, the people of Rwanda will be saying "that's hot" over and over to each other.


But I'm betting the photogs couldn't care less that Brit was using her video camera because the photos will still sell. (Guilty, as charged!) I'm just worried that Britney is thinking of making another documentary about her life -- did you catch Chaotic?


According to a new poll in Radar magazine, you are not alone. And you've also had enough of cupcakes, Botox, and Brad Pitt! But Posh and Becks have come in at the top of the list of things that are totally overrated. Writer Michael Musto calls L.A. Galaxy hottie David "overpaid" and his fashionista wife "a pointless collection of body parts." Ouch!
Other things that made list?
Blogging (gasp!), sex with virgins, cocaine, Keira Knightley (they must have read my mind), pilates, Ronald Reagan, The Dalai Lama, Jake Gyllenhaal (Reese Witherspoon obviously wasn't voting) and Grey's Anatomy (they must all be watching Gossip Girl).
Who's had enough of cupcakes? That's just madness.

I've told you in the past about my obsession with Heather Locklear's new boyfriend, Jack Wagner -- it's just something I can't seem to grow out of. So I almost died when I heard that Heather and Jack are so serious that the ex Mrs. Richie Sambora said she would marry The Bold and The Beautiful actor.
Heather tells People that her romance with Jack is "wonderful and exciting and blossoming," adding she feels deserving of something that "feels so right". The actress admits she can see herself as the next Mrs. Wagner. She reveals, "If Jack said, `Let's get married, ' I'd go, `OK!' But I have a daughter to consider. I'm trying to be a thoughtful role model, and not selfish."
I'm dying! Do you think they've been in love since their Peter and Amanda days on Melrose Place?


Bridget is also looking pretty fantastic, considering she gave birth just five weeks ago. And though her situation with ex Tom isn't the most ideal (he's currently getting it on with supermodel Gisele Bundchen), Bridget is loving her new mommy role.
"The pain of dealing with the fallout of their failed romance has been overtaken with the joy of motherhood,” a source told OK!. Bridget, who passed on giving an interview to the mag, is said to be in love with being a mother.
“She’s still at the point where she finds it very hard to be away from him,” a pal told OK! “They are so bonded. She can’t wait to get home, so she only goes out for short periods.”
Bridget has a new love in her life, and while Tom and Gisele will eventually tire of each other, Baby John will always love his momma.


Here's why: When I first looked at the photo, I thought it was Britney Spears. It must be the hair and those pink shades, not the stick-thin body. (Not that I think Britney is fat.) And speaking of the body, Madge is in amazing shape, but she is so darn skinny. It makes me a little uncomfortable. Her outfit itself is fine -- it's just the teenie bopper look from the shoulders up that is freaking me out.
Hey... maybe those are Lourdes's sunglasses! That would maybe explain it.


Wall of Sound mastermind Phil Spector, on trial for allegedly murdering actress Lana Clarkson in 2003, got a reprieve. His trial was declared a mistrial because of a deadlocked jury. The decision came on the 12th day of deliberations.
Until the next trial... Ladies, please, if you see this nipple ring wearin' creep out at an L.A. hotspot, don't go home with him to listen to old John Lennon and Paul McCartney stories. During the trial, something like four women testified that he pulled a gun on them as well. All I'm saying is that there are better places in L.A. for a nightcap. Avoid "the Castle" and the Spector.


Remember when George Clooney starred on The Facts of Life? Well, it was a fact that he was kinda dorky. But by the time he scrubbed in for his stint on ER, he was a total hunk.
In Sexier with Age?, you can vote on whether or not you think various Hollywood leading men -- Brad Pitt, Jon Bon Jovi, Michael Douglas, Tom Cruise and more -- look hunkier then or now.
Some of my votes:
Jon Bon Jovi -- now
David Hasselhoff -- then
Denzel Washington -- now
Jack Nicholson -- then
Alec Baldwin -- then, then, then!

On my desk is Will.i.am's new album out called Songs about Girls. (Perhaps he was a fan of Maroon 5's debut disc Songs about Jane?) In a recent interview, the Black Eyed Peas singer said one of the tracks on the new album was inspired by a 60-year-old, Emmy-winning soap star. Can you guess who he was referring to?

About the movie... I think they should have hired actors who guys perhaps wouldn't be into. Any dude you know who would turn down Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Connelly or Scarlett Johansson ? Didn't think so.

Heidi opens up about her plastic surgery -- a breast enlargement and nose job -- that, until now, she's been coy about. Lauren Conrad's former BFF says that she made these changes to her body because boys always made fun of her for having a big schnoz and being flat chested.
"People would say,“You have such a big nose!" And they’d make fun of me for being so flat, and say mean boy things, like, 'If you nailed two nails in a board, they would be bigger than you are.' I was tormented. And when I was older, I’d want to be intimate, but I’d feel insecure. My boyfriends always had bigger chests than I did!'"
Well, that's a pleasant image.
Heidi goes on to say that Spencer had nothing to do with her decision to get surgery, even though he has a major thing for Playboy bunnies, and that if she didn't wake up from the surgery it was still worth it. I swear!
She makes me want to vomit.

Pop star Usher and his pregnant new bride, Tameka Foster have revealed to People that are expecting a baby boy.
"I just want my son to fully be coherent and to be healthy, first and foremost," he said at the USHER for Men and USHER for Women fragrance launch party at Cipriani in Manhattan. "I've found that it is a step-by-step process. You can wish for a million and one things. But I hope that my son has the same energy I had as a child. Hopefully, he won't be as bad as me. I hope that he's just a healthy son."
A few weeks back, the singer told Ellen DeGeneres that, if he had a son, he wanted to give him a very original name. "If it's a boy, I'm going to name him Usher. I'm hoping to name him that. I've been playing with a few names. I'm the fourth. Usher Raymond IV. I just want to pass the name on. Maybe I'll change the middle name."
A fourth Usher? Can we handle that? Whatev.


On walking the red carpet: "I hate red-carpet events; I absolutely hate them. I don't like the fact that people write, 'Oh, you look like crap' in print. Or 'I don't like your arms!' "On her self-image: "I'm not Wonder Woman. I have self-esteem problems. Everybody does. You know, skinny people are allowed to feel s--- about themselves."
On being called an anorexic: "I haven't got a clue about how much I weigh. I do not own any scales. And I have noticed it creates an anger in people who are not skinny. People like to blame their insecurities on other people."
On the characters she likes to play: "There is definitely a f-you quality to the characters I choose. A lot of times in cinema today the women are overly sentimental, so I constantly try to do the opposite. I like strident women."
On the anxieties of fame: "You have this feeling -- everyone wants a bit of you. Wants to suck a bit of you. Wants a piece of you. It does feel like that. Any sane person knows, this is not nice. It's a pretty horrific profession, really."

So what do I think about the reports that Jessica Biel might be snagging my coveted role for the new movie, Justice League of America? I say, "Right on!" Jess certainly has the bod for it, she's almost too buff, and though I also heard that Cobie Smulders (Robin from How I Met Your Mother), who I love, was being considered for the part, I think Jessica is a great choice -- and I'm sure her man, Justin Timberlake, won't mind if Jess brings home the sparkly bustier every now and then.
What do you think about Jessica as my fave superhero? Tell me!

They should probably start putting red carpets down on the entry ramps to prison, just to make the hoards of celebs getting thrown behind bars more comfortable.
It seems that our hero, Jack Bauer a.k.a Kiefer Sutherland will have to spend, at least, some time in the slammer. According to California law, back-to-back DUIs will result in serving a mandatory minimum of four days in jail, if convicted. But this isn't Kiefer's second DUI -- it's his fourth! In addition to his most recent arrest, the 24 star had been charged with Driving Under the Influence in 1988, 1993 and in 2004.
Can you say repeat offender?

Pamela Anderson is no stranger to wild times, but since hooking up with Paris Hilton sex tape creator, Rick Salomon, she's been hitting new heights.
Page Six is reporting that Pam's recent antics have her friends very worried. "She parties almost every night," their source said. "She drinks, she does stuff . . . and she's got hepatitis C. Her liver is shot but she keeps living this crazy lifestyle. We don't think she understands how serious this is. She has two kids and may not be around to see them grow up at this rate."
In addition, Pam's relationship with Rick seems to be taking her even further out of control. "They went wild over the VMA weekend," the spy added. "I just watched them party with my jaw open."
Supposedly while the bombshell continues to burn the candle at both ends, while performing in her Las Vegas magic act, her family takes care of her two sons with Tommy Lee. Oh, and Pam is telling people that she and Rick are either engaged and/or already married.
She sounds stable, huh?

Pull out those magnifying glasses, ladies. Rumor has it that Camila Alves (aka Matthew McConaughey's girlfriend) is wearing an engagement ring in this photo, which was taken earlier today as they left the Georges V Hotel in Paris.

"We all met Alex on the street near the USA Hostel in Hollywood," our spy from Paris's camp told Page Six. "The hostel is $27 a night and they shove in six people to a room. But in the morning there are all the pancakes you can eat. Our friend introduced him to Paris and she immediately took a liking to him. He's very hot. He's living much better now."
I bet. Paris is already working her star magic on the 22-year-old, introducing him to Ford Models scouts this week. And though a rep for the heiress says she and Alex are "just friends," a rep for me says "and you know what that means." Wink.

The latest episode in the Charlie/Denise nasty custody battle has Charlie firing back at his ex's claims that he likes to watch underage internet porn. "The FBI was aware of these issues," Charlie states. "I provided them with every computer I owned. The computers were returned two weeks later. Haven't heard from them since. Period. The end."
The actor said in a statement that for 18 months Denise herself filed "not a single complaint" about the welfare of their daughters, Sam and Lola, and that her attacks only began after he asked to pick his own nannies. "I have asked that the court eliminate Ms. Richards's ability to abuse and harass us any longer," said Charlie of himself and his fiancee, Brooke Mueller. "One can only imagine what we've withstood thus far."
I''ve said it before and I'll say it again -- Denise Richards = Big Cup of Crazy.

“I’m very thrilled,” Gabe told AH at The World of Calvin Klein fashion event in New York City . “I can’t wait to be a daddy.”
Um, yeah, maybe because you're destined to have the most genetically blessed child in the world? But, I digress. The model said that he and Halle won't know if they will be parenting a gorgeous boy or girl, until the joyous day arrives. “We’re not going to find out,” he said of sex.
As for Halle, how is she handling her first pregnancy? “She’s doing really good,” he noted. Special requests? "Any bread. Doesn't matter, as long as it's salt and pickles," Gabe revealed to People.com. "She loves foot massages -- I do all that stuff."
Salt, pickles and bread, while getting a foot massage form Gabriel? I would even consider getting pregnant again for that.


On Saturday, the couple dined at Taverna restaurant where “they were drinking mimosas and gazing into each others eyes,” a source tells Perez Hilton. “She was WAY into him. They even shared a kiss.” Then, on Monday, Jessica Simpson's ex and the up-and-coming TV star had lunch together, where they were being all lovey dovey. Finally, the new pair were spotted saying a sweet goodbye at the Austin airport.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, who conveniently split up right before publicity began for their new movie, Rendition, were seen at a party on Sunday night, looking very much together. E!'s Mark Malkin got word that the co-stars, who were at a party for singer Rufus Wainright, were way into each other.
“Jake and Reese were sitting by the fire all night, talking,” a fellow party guest blabbed “Everyone was talking, laughing and celebrating Rufus, but they were deep, deep in conversation. It was like there was no one else in the world.”
Are we supposed to believe they were talking about who gets what in the breakup? Because I don't. They're so together.

Not trying to start anything, but how come there are never any gay lover rumors about those two? Poor Larry Birkhead can't get a break. Lindsay Lohan started rumors by hanging out with Samantha Ronson all the time. Tom Cruise's sex life will endlessly be dinner table talk. But nobody ever seems to accuse George and Brad of being lovahs... yet they're constantly working and playing together. Not saying they are, of course, but I wonder why they're exempt.

She looks so cute, sweet and innocent here, but it was just a few months back she was showing her fangs daily, going up her former costar Rosie O'Donnell. Meow! Guess a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

All well and good, but the kid totally won't be around on Hil's 30th birthday if he he's dropping 100gs on her 20th. It's like: What's next? A million weekend getaway? Then a 15 million home? They've been dating for months, so I find the whole thing absurd.

George Clooney and his girlfriend Sarah Larson, who were in a motorcycle accident on Friday, stepped out tonight in New York to attend the premiere of his new movie, Michael Clayton.
"I'm a little dinged up -- lots of Neosporin," Georgie told People at the premiere. "I'm definitely not jogging or doing jumping jacks."
As for the girlfriend, People reports that she didn't break her foot, she broke her toe. She also has a black eye that was covered up... presumably by a top makeup artist.
"We are hiding it with makeup," George told Extra. "It looks like I socked her a couple times."

I thought of my days of playing Hide & Seek when I saw this photo of Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, which was snapped today as the non-couple couple left Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Maybe Jess was thinking: If I cover my face and close my eyes, maybe the paparazzi won't be able to get a photo of me with my non-boyfriend boyfriend.
No such luck.

But, no, Lindsay's peeps have plainly denied the claims that she's gettin' it on with Stephanie Allen's husband -- even though, according to the Daily Mail, Steph identified Lindsay as one of the precipitators of the divorce. The jilted ex is filing for custody of the couple’s 8-month-old twins(!), and states that her marriage is “irretrievably broken" and points to Tony’s “adultery” and “cruel treatment” as grounds for the split. The papers also accuse the musician of being "guilty of habitual drug addiction.”
“It’s unfortunate Stephanie Allen is blaming the demise of her marriage on Lindsay,” her rep tells Us Weekly. "Stephanie needs to look at her marriage to determine the reason why things went wrong because it has nothing to do with Lindsay. Lindsay and Tony are friends and that’s all. They are supporting one another through a similar experience. This is a friendship based on trust and mutual support and nothing else.”
So, I'll let you be the judge. Was Lindsay knockin' boots with the rich lady's hubby or what? Tell me!

Brad Pitt sent employees of The Washington Post into a tizzy on Friday, when he stopped by the paper's newsroom to do some research for his upcoming movie, State of Play, reports People magazine.
"It was like angels singing," the paper reported one female worker as saying. The lucky girl said she had "made eye contact" with Brad during his four-hour tour of the newsroom with the movie's director, Kevin McDonald. The actor was reportedly all spiffed up for his visit, wearing blue slacks, a tan blazer and white, button-down shirt, with his gray, tweed cap. Brad was gracious -- he waved and said hello to employees who, apparently, thought they might have died and gone to heaven.
This story made me laugh, but when I really thought about it, I admitted to myself that I probably would have been standing there with my mouth agape, too -- I mean, I get excited when the UPS guy stops by.

I'm just waiting for someone to say that Nicole Richie is getting fat.
How cute does the mom-to-be look in her bikini? Nicole and her beau, Joel Madden, jetted off to Hawaii to celebrate Nic's 26th birthday. The two frolicked in the water, kissed and cuddled all while the paparazzi snapped away.

Victoria Beckham has become quite the hot commodity since moving to the U.S.! The Spice Girl has been asked to join the Pussycat Dolls for a few guest appearances. Posh will join a long line of sexy women who have done a stint for the 'Don't Cha" girls. Carmen Electra, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson have all taken a swing around the pole in the burlesque-style revue.
A source close to The Dolls says the girls are psyched to have Vicki on their team. "They've been blown away by Victoria since she arrived in LA. They love her style and think she has the perfect figure for the group. They are all huge Spice Girl fans and can't wait to have her on stage with them."
I hope Posh can eek out a smile while dancing -- she usually looks like the most sour kitten in all the land.

First Rosie O' Donnell turned down Oprah Winfrey's offer to come on her show to promote Ro's new book, Celebrity Detox, and now the former View host has cancelled her interview with Diane Sawyer.
Rosie has apparently decided that the nature of her book, where she allegedly calls her former boss Barbara Walters "tired," is too emotionally taxing and "raw" to talk about in an interview. Ro's chat with Diane was scheduled for early October, but Good Morning America just released this statement:
"We were looking forward to having Rosie as a guest on the program. Unfortunately, today we were informed she has decided to cancel all of her interviews."
I'm so sure that when she does decide to talk (it's Rosie, people, that's what she does!) she'll be dialing up Oprah's number.

Oy! More bad news for Britney Spears.
Britney's former bodyguard Tony Baretto, had a field day this weekend, giving interviews to London's News of the World and Daily Mail that simply bury the pop star.
Tony accuses Britney of having "mental problems<" which are "not helped by her taking drugs and alcohol." He alleges that the singer was close to suffering from a drug overdose in a hotel room, with reported one-time flame Howie Day, just days after her rehab stint at Promises Treatment Center.
"She was in a terrible state, just sweating and shaking. Her pupils were huge— we thought she was dying," claims Tony.
Britney's former employee claims he's telling his story to prevent anything happening to Britney's sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. "There was a time when I thought she was going to hurt the kids." Tony says at one point he and another member of the singer's security team became concerned that Britney was "shutting down" like she had on that fateful night when she shaved her head.
"He said she'd been talking about suicide then, and this was the same. Britney was sobbing. She screamed," said Tony. "[He said] 'I'm worried about the kids. Don't let her go swimming with them.' I asked, 'Is she going to drown them?' He said, 'I don't know.' I started to cry. How am I supposed to protect someone like that?"
He also goes on to allege that Britney used drugs in front of him and would often sneak off in the middle of the night without the bodyguards.
"I've seen her take narcotics in nightclubs on only two occasions, but her drugged behavior -- fidgety, nervous, jumpy -- I've seen at her home, too, so I assume she was on drugs at home," he says. "At the club, she was snorting a powdery substance, which I assume to be cocaine or methamphetamine. I think she leads a secret lifestyle and hides it from those she doesn't trust. She gets upset with the notion of having to go there."
After Tony's statement was submitted in court last week, Britney was ordered to take bi-weekly drug tests and attend parenting classes until further notice.
I'm just out of things to say about this sad, sad situation.

Can her life get any worse?
Britney Spears is in, yet even, more trouble than before. The fallen pop star has been charged with a "hit-and-run causing property damage and driving without a valid license," the Los Angeles City Attorney said Friday. The charges stem from a fender bender in a store parking lot last month, when Brit made a wide, right turn into a parking space and scraped another car's bumper. And just her luck, the whole thing was captured on video by photo agency X17.
In addition, Britney is being charged with driving without a license. "According to the DMV, Ms. Spears was never issued a California license - ever," City Attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan tells People. Britney's arraignment is set for Oct. 10, and if convicted for both misdemeanor charges, she could face up to a year in jail.
Can you imagine if she goes to jail, too? I mean, she probably won't, but can you imagine? Next we'll find out she's pregnant and going to the slammer -- it is the latest trend, you know, unless you are Foxy Brown. Then you just lie about being pregnant and go to jail anyway.

According to police, George was driving his Harley-Davidson in Weehawken, N.J., when he collided with car that allegedly attempted to make a right turn from the left lane.
Sarah, who was taken to the hospital by ambulance, suffered a broken foot, while George has a hairline fracture of a rib and road rash. The actor was able to drive away from the scene on his motorcycle and met his love at the hospital. The driver of the car was uninjured.
The crash is still under investigation.

"Mother and daughter are doing well," Salma's publicist said. No further details were released. Valentina is the first child for the executive producer of Ugly Betty and the third for her soon-to-be-hubby.
Congrats to the whole family!

Oh boy! I can't wait to hear what all of you have to say about this!
In the new issue of Britain's Cosmopolitan, Angelina Jolie reveals the number of men she's slept with. Drum roll, please! And the big, whopping number is... FOUR! That's right. Angie says she's been with less than five men -- and two of them were her husbands.
I assume she means Billy Bob Thorton and Jonny Lee Miller, then there's Brad Pitt, of course, so who's number four? Oliver Martinez? Her high school boyfriend?
Angie also said nothing about how many women she's slept with -- so don't be thinking that Angelina is more angelic than we thought -- that number could be in the hundreds.

The Ugly Betty star has lost about 20 pounds in recent weeks, which is causing a ruckus with the folks that celebrated the star for being a curvy role model for young girls. But the Emmy winner blames her slim-down on a hectic shooting schedule, as the new season has begun, though she does say that since she dropped the pounds she is feeling good.
"I feel like I'm a regular person. I'm a size 10 or 12, which is totally normal," America revealed. "But I do feel that since I wanted to get in better shape, there has been a bit of a backlash."
I love America curvy, I lover her slim, whatever. I don't care. She's a good actress who seems grateful for the success she's had. I just wish weight was not such a freakin' issue in this country. It's maddening.


“The times that I was around her, in her defense, she don’t drink any alcohol. I didn’t see her drink. You know I was hospitable, I offered everybody a drink and you know she had water,” he said.
Instead of resting up for her comeback, Britney reportedly partied until all hours of the night on both Friday and Saturday night, leading up to the show.
“At 3am when you see her, as a performer do you say to yourself ‘you should be going to sleep now, you are opening the VMA’s tomorrow,‘” AH's asked Billy Bush asked Diddy.
“Everybody has their own way,” he replied. “Some people deal with, you know, nerves, they can’t go to sleep and you don’t know what the problem is. To just say ‘Oh, her career is over she [is] done,’ to discount all her work beforehand because she is a human being — we all go through hard times.”
I know! Maybe Brit can be on the next installment of MTV's Making the Band! Though, if her moves from the VMA performance are any indication of her star quality, we doubt Brit would make it through the first round of cuts.
What's up with Jennifer Lopez and her mom Guadalupe, who were once super-tight? Some say Jen's hubby, Marc Anthony is causing friction between the Girl From the Block and her mama.
With the latest rumors that J.Lo was carrying a little Latina, the Daily News went to Guadalupe's house to find out more. When asked about the talk that she was becoming a grandma, Jen's mom told the reporter, "I didn't hear about it. You know more than I do. I don't talk to her very often. I don't see her often." Guadalupe said she is "very busy here taking care of my sister" while, " [Jennifer is] very busy doing what she does."
If that's not the epitome of parent guilt, I don't know what is. Some say Jen's mom liked Jen's former fiance Ben Aflleck a whole lot more than Marc, while others lament that Guadalupe loves her son-in-law.
Marc has always seemed controlling and creepy to me, and I don't hear Jennifer Garner's parents complaining.


Anna's battle with drugs was apparent. Now Britney has been deemed a "habitual" drug and alcohol user by a judge and could lose her kids if she's not careful. The VF astrologer says the similarities between the two blonde, one-time sex symbols are concerning -- and someone should take notice.
“Instead of laughing at her and making fun of her just the way they did with Anna Nicole, somebody better step in and do something or it is going to be just like Anna Nicole,” Michael writes.
Do you guys believe in this kind of stuff? I'm very much a Libra, through and through, so I definitely think there's some substance behind it, though I don't think we needed an astrologer to tell us that Britney's life is a disaster.
As you can clearly see, Charlotte has a bun in the oven... or she's wearing the stunt belly Katie Holmes wore when she pretended to be pregnant with little Suri Cruise. Not sure why she's in a scene with Big, but I'm going to guess that he's no longer with Carrie and bumps into Charlotte on the street. Total guess.
Any storyline ideas?
Again, the movie will be in theaters on May 30.

I told you I'm not big on fashion. Well, I'm not big on high-maintenance hair 'dos either. But for the love of Ken Paves, somebody needs to get their hands on that girl's head and do something with it!
I've seen homeless people with better hair. Bruce Willis has better hair. (Wink, wink.) Amy Winehouse's beehive looks like an A-plus next to that. Good lord!

K.K., basically known for her well-endowed booty, her short-lived romance with Jessica Simpson ex Nick Lachey, and, of course, the sex tape she made with Brandy's little brother, Ray J, has scored the cover spot on the December issue of Hugh Hefner's mag. A Playboy source tells Us Weekly that Kim's shoot reveals more than originally planned. Riiiight. Though her body is mostly draped in sheets and jewelry, the source says that Kimmy's fans will get a glimpse of "one boob, and her bare butt." Lucky Kim will have one of the longest, um, spreads, that the mag has had in a long time -- 12 pages! She and Hef are said to be choosing the final photos today.
I suppose this is good news for Kim and her admirers, though once you've given the ALL of the milk away for free, what good is the cow, really?

Meanwhile, have you seen our new star kid gallery? There are photos of all the young celeb offspring -- Violet Affleck, King Rossdale, Suri Cruise, Matilda Ledger, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, etc -- and you can vote on which parent the star kiddie resembles the most. Love it.

"To have these professionals turning you into someone else is pretty neat," she says of the transformation. "I've always wanted to be a brunette because in a town of blondes, it makes me look a little more exotic," she says.
It must be nice to be able to be a chameleon like that. When I tried to dye my hair dark brown my freshman year in college, thinking I would look exotic, I just ended up looking like a very pale, very sickly, Mafia princess wannabe.
Lindsay Lohan can't even duck out of controversy when she is nicely tucked away in a rehab facility.
A British heiress is claiming that LiLo was intimate with her husband at the Cirque Lodge treatment center in Utah. According to London's Daily Mirror, Stephanie Allen, a gazillionaire, is said to be devastated by allegations that her musician hubby, Tony, had sex with Lindsay, in a bathroom, at the clinic.
Tony denies the claims, saying he and Lindsay just bonded as pals. "We're great friends," he said. "We share a common affliction, and we just talk about life sometimes." Yet other reports say, when asked by friends about the rumors, he boasted, "C'mon, it's Lindsay Lohan. Hell, yes! Wouldn't you?"
Sounds like a lot of locker room talk to me, but you never know with Lindsay.


We're sure Matt didn't mind spending one more week in Hawaii, considering it's the perfect place for him to live his shirtless life.


The never-ending custody battle between Charlie and Denise continued yesterday when Denise asked a judge to protect their daughters, Sam and Lola, from her ex-husband. According to Access Hollywood, Denise accused Charlie of "inappropriate behavior ... and conduct," including "his attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts." Denise is determined to stop her ex's overnight privileges with their daughters.
Never one to take anything lying down, Charlie retaliated, saying, "Clearly the mother of my children has no interest in responsible co-parenting when it comes to my relationship with our girls. She behaves as though she OWNS our children. She does not. A day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching. The truth will prevail. It always does.”
Sometimes I forget who the children are in this case.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick ...
That's the clock that's counting down the minutes until Hayden Panetierre is officially deemed the next Lindsay Lohan.
Why would I say something so nasty about the just-turned-18 Heroes star, who seems so sweet? Because Hayden reportedly flipped her lid and tried to beat up a reporter from Us Weekly. That's right. Here's what TV Guide's Michael Ausiello had to say:
"It was the unbreakable Hayden Panettiere who threatened to "kill" a staffer from Us Weekly over something she wrote about her in a recent issue. (Sources have since confirmed that it was this item that had HP's barely legal panties in a bunch.) Just when it looked like Hayden was about to pull a Sylar on said reporter's skull, her quick-thinking publicist grabbed her and scolded, "Not on the red carpet." It was a classic Hollywood moment — and one I predict will be streaming all over the Internet by week's end."
Do you think Hayden read our entry on her split with Stephen Coletti? Should we be sleeping with one eye open? I won't feel safe again until she is safely locked away at a rehab facility -- which will probably be any minute now.

The press release from New Line:
Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are reprising their roles from the original HBO series. The show’s longtime executive producer, Michael Patrick King, is set to write and direct. Additionally, Chris Noth, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler and Jason Lewis will return as the women’s love interests. Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls) has also joined the cast of the film and will play Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant, a new character to be introduced in the film.
The movie is set to be released on May 30th... and I'll be right there in line.


"Everyone calls about this every month with the hopes that they'll hit the mark, but no. No."-- Marc Anthony's rep on the latest round of Jennifer Lopez pregnancy rumors, which -- this month -- come courtesy of outta touch In Touch
Britney Spears still isn't taking orders from anyone... including the judge in her custody battle case.
Shortly after a judge called the singer a "habitual" drug and alcohol user and declared that she will be subject to twice-weekly random drug and alcohol testing, the singer... went clubbing!
Us Weekly reports that the Britster -- and two gal pals -- hit Winston's and Hyde on Tuesday night. She also ignored photogs who asked about her kids.
When I was really bad as a kid, my mom would shake her head and ominously say: Keep it up, Suzy. Keep it up. Kinda like: You're gonna get yours eventually, you know-it-all brat. And I usually did. I feel that's the case for Brit. She's gonna get hers. So... Keep it up, Brit. Keep it up.



Oprah: What do you think is going on with Britney?Justin: I don’t know, to be honest with you. I haven’t spoken to her in years. I mean, there’s no ill will—I have nothing but love for her. It’s funny because we dated each other at a time…wow, I haven’t talked about this in a long time. It’s interesting.
Oprah: But you’ve never talked about it to me, so it’s okay.
Justin: Hey, let’s get it in, girl.
Oprah: Let’s get it in.
Justin: We were teenagers, you know?
Oprah: Yes, famous teenagers.
Justin: I think that’s basically the best way to describe what happened to us. I think she’s a great person, and I don’t know her as well as I did …. What I do know about her is she has a huge heart, and she is a great person.
Aww, that's sweet, Justin. Now get in there and HELP A SISTER OUT!


"I think that's a great idea! She's a great mother, she graced our film, came in and did a really lovely part for us. She had her little boy out and she was a really lovely mother."
-- Brad Pitt on co-star Mary Louise Parker's adoption of a baby girl from Africa
Brad's obviously become Tinsletown's connoisseur on adoptions. Do you think everyone checks in with him before they sign the papers?
Check out other Hollywood big-wigs, who are opening up their homes, with our Celebrity Adoption slide show.


The cover story goes on to outline Britney's latest tribulations, and says that their time with their mom is doing more harm than good. “Dealing with the kids after they come back from Britney’s is really hard on Kevin,” says a K-Fed pal. “It takes him three days to get them back on any type of schedule.”
I'm just so sad for these boys. I know I've said this before, but they can come live with me.


Teri Hatcher must be a nightmare to date -- girl just can't seem to keep a man. Her latest breakup is with former General Hospital actor Stephen T. Kaye, who she's dated for about ten months.
And whether or not Teri wanted the public to know about her split, Desperate Housewives writer/director, Marc Cherry, spilled the beans at a Cedars Sinai Medical Center benefit on Saturday. When asked about the goings on in the lives of his leading ladies, Marc had lovely things to say about Marcia Cross's twins, he said Eva Longoria is just "glowing" since her marriage to Tony Parker, but when it came to Teri, all he said was, "[She's] not with a guy right now."
Jeez, that's all Marc could muster up? That sucks. Though I'm not sure Teri's breakup with Stephen is that much of a loss -- their relationship was always a bit puzzling, considering Stephen used to date Eva. Too weird.


Who would have thought that the girl who rocketed the term "whatever!" to stardom, in her movie Clueless, could be so deep?
Alicia Silverstone has exposed herself in a new ad campaign for PETA. In a series of print and video spots, the dare-to-bare actress poses, sprawled out in front of a pool, fully naked.
In the print version, the words “I’m a Alicia Silverstone, and I’m a vegetarian,” appear above her in-the-buff body. In the video, Alicia claims “there’s nothing in the world that’s changed me as much as this. I feel so much better and have so much more energy."
Alicia, who has battled her scale in the past, says her meat-free life is the reason her bod looks so good in these ads. “I wasn’t always a vegetarian, but I’ve always loved animals. Physically the effect [of going veggie] has been amazing. Once I went vegan, I lost the weight.”
Alicia looks amazing in these spots! So much so, I may just put down my sausage and egg biscuit long enough to clap for her.

Joel Madden promises to make an honest woman out of Nicole Richie. The Good Charlotte rocker told Ryan Seacrest that a trip down the aisle for him and his pregnant girl is definitely in the cards.
Obviously, marriage is in our future," Joel said. "I don't kow when or where or how, but right now our priority is our family and is the baby. That's all we've been thinking about. We are in love and are really happy."
Joel says that he and Nicole are just super psyched for the birth of the baby. "I'm excited. We are all really excited about it. It's the best thing that has ever happened to us. It's awesome."
Do the know they sex? "No, we are waiting. We don't even know. So right now it's an it. Which sounds wrong. We call it the baby. When we talk to it, it's a you," Joel said.
Awww, he's cute, isn't he?


While it's a horrible disease, I think it's great that someone like Jenny is out there discussing autism. A lot of times these diseases are so foreign to me. Nobody my age is dealing with them -- their babies are healthy little things -- so I'm oblivious. But to have someone around my age dealing with it makes it more relatable. Not to mention that this is the gross out queen from Singled Out and she's tearing up about how her son flatlined during a seizure. I can't help but listen.
And for the superficial, Jim Carrey's girlfriend looks stunning these days. Today she wore this baby blue mod dress, her straight locks were in the Posh 'do (though she says she had it before Posh) and she just looks incredibly beautiful. Yet another reason I'm glad she and her son are the new faces of autism -- it makes you see a sunny side. She's getting through it... and she looks good.
I like her so much more than I ever used to.


So. Friggin. Cute.

Methinks this world is a c-r-a-z-y place when O.J. Simpson faces life in prison for robbery and not murdering two people. Nonetheless, he and his goombahs have been charged with 11 counts of criminal behavior stemming from the Las Vegas armed robbery over the weekend. The charges include two counts of first-degree kidnapping with use of a deadly weapon; two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon; and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Wouldn't it be the greatest irony of all for this man, who literally got away with murder, to be jailed now? Ahh... to dream.


Was just watching today's In the Loop with iVillage -- supporting my peeps -- and they reported that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant. No word on where they heard it (though they mentioned that the outta touch In Touch said she's been getting in vitro) and there's been no official confirmation, but host Bill Rancic said it like it was fact when he announced: "J.Lo is pregnant, everybody."
Bill is hitched to E!'s Giuliana DePandi, so maybe he has some insider information that E! isn't reporting on their own website. Stay tuned.
You can catch In the Loop Monday through Friday on NBC and online.


A judge in the Britney Spears vs. Kevin Federline custody battle called the pop tart a "habitual, frequent and continuous" user of alcohol and controlled substances and ordered her to undergo twice-weekly random testing. L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon also ruled that both Britney and Kevin may not consume alcohol or non-prescription controlled substances at least 12 hours prior to being with their children.
And as if that wasn't a big enough kick in the teeth, Britney -- alone -- was ordered to see a "parenting coach" eight hours a week. In addition, Britney and Kevin must enroll in the Parenting Without Conflict program, attending co-parenting counseling sessions and can't make "derogatory remarks" about each other and their families.
What... no orders to remain clothed in front of the kids? I'm sure that's coming.
Watch it: Drug Testing for Britney Spears

Brad told the Associated Press that the hoards of paparazzi are one of the most difficult aspects of his and Angie's life with the kids. "It's impossible for us. We're run out of every major city. There's just too many paparazzi. There's always cameras in the kids' faces, yelling their names." Brad also that admits he's concerned with "how to survive and how to maintain a family life."
"I understand the essence of paranoia. I understand being hunted, to some degree. It's rare, but there are imbalanced people out there. I've had break-ins in the house," the actor said, "I've had some of these abnormal incidents that can be a bit frightening. It's something that I want to be aware of and be cautious about, especially with the family, that everybody's protected."
It's nice that Brad wants to be the keeper of his brood, but maybe Brangelina should reconsider the 27 more children they keep saying they are going to add to their family. I mean, if safety is a factor, right?


Grey's Anatomy's Katherine Heigl made me laugh when she said "sh*t", after they called her name as the winner of the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, at Sunday night’s Emmys.
Backstage, Kat revealed to Access Hollywood that it was her mother’s attempt to calm her down – by suggesting that there was no chance her girl would win -- which led to the sound-censored -- but seen-- expletive.
“She’s the biggest supporter of mine in the universe so if she was like, ‘You know what? I love you, I think you deserve it but I don’t think you’re going to get it this year,’ I was like ‘You are right!’ and I totally calmed down and relaxed,” Katherine told Access. “I was like ‘Cool’ and ‘Everything’s fine!’ My heart rate slowed down [then] they said my name and I nearly just sh** myself. So that’s where that came from.”
I love that story. Really down-to-earth, really cool.



Oprah wanted to have Rosie on her show to talk about the former View co-host's new book, Celebrity Detox, but Rosie decided to go a different way.
"She's doing an interview with Diane Sawyer instead," a spy for Page Six said. Cindi Berger, Rosie's rep, said, "Rosie has always been booked with Diane. We gracefully declined Oprah's offer. I'm sure Rosie will do Oprah's show another time."
The book is said to dish about Rosie's rivals, Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Donald Trump, amongst other things. It's an interesting choice for Rosie to turn down Ops, considering every book Oprah touched turns to platinum. Then again, you can call Rosie many things, but a sell-out? Never.

As the legal battle for Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline continues, new accusations are flying about the tots' mom, Britney Spears.
A former bodyguard for Britney, Tony Barretto, was prepared to testify about "issues of nudity by Ms. Spears, drug use and safety issues involving the children" that he witnessed as her bodyguard before she fired him on May 17, said his attorney. But instead of testifying, his written allegations were entered into court as evidence.
Britney's lawyer, Laura Wasser, strongly denied any drug use by her client. "He isn't a credible witness," she said.
Which is all fine and good, except for the fact that Laura quit as Brit's legal rep just hours later.
"I don't want anyone to perceive that we're dumping Britney," Laura said. "In a lot of attorney-client relationships, there comes a time when some fresh blood is necessary."
Riiight. Can you say "run for the hills"?


Holy smokes! Weeds star Mary-Louise Parker has added a baby girl to her family. Her reps confirm to People.com that the actress has adopted a daughter from Africa. Mary-Louise, who was nominated for two Emmy awards Sunday night, was spotted with her newest addition over the weekend as they traveled to the show.
"Mary-Louise is such an incredible mom," says a source. "She couldn't be happier about this."
The baby girl will join her new brother, 3-year-old Will, who's dad is Billy Crudup.
Congrats!

Just your typical day of hard knocks for the Princess of Disaster, Britney Spears. A mere hours after Britney's lawyer, Laura Wasser, stepped down as her legal representation in the custody battle versus Brit ex Kevin Federline, another of Britney's staff quit.
Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm, who took Britney on as a client in the beginning of August, has bailed. The management company gave this statement to People.com:
"It saddens us to confirm media reports that we have terminated our professional relationship with Britney Spears. We believe Britney is enormously talented, and has made a terrific record. But current circumstances have prevented us from properly doing our job. We wish Britney the best."
The statement didn't say what those circumstances were, but we're pretty sure it has a tiny bit to do with something called the MTV VMAs.
Britney is, supposedly, extremely difficult to control and takes no advice from anyone. Though, she may want to reconsider -- we've all seen how well that works out for her.


I like that he's continued to be creative with his hair... or maybe his Mommy's still styling it.

Holy crap! The Britney Spears/Kevin Federline divorce case has taken quite the interesting turn. Check this shocker out, courtesy of Entertainment Tonight:
"ET has several reliable sources that the FBI and LAPD are investigating legitimate leads on a contract hit on KEVIN FEDERLINE's life.Multiple sources tell ET that the FBI made attempts to contact Federline to inform him of the potential danger.
Sources within the FBI tell ET that this is the bureau's standard operating procedure when someone's life is threatened.
ET has been working this story for the past two months. When contacted, the FBI told us that the bureau cannot confirm or deny an investigation."
Isn't that nuts? The FBI should look into that crazy, crying Britney fan. Or could it be Britney herself that put this hit out -- she does hate him. What do you guys think?
UPDATE: TMZ.com has learned that, though there was an LAPD investigation into the reports of a plot to kill Kevin, the FBI was never involved, and the case was closed almost two months ago due to insufficient evidence.
Which means K-Fed lives on.


The reason for the prom talk in September? I just found this photo of The Brave One costars Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard looking like they're posing for prom photos. All that's missing is Jodie's wrist corsage. And, well, they're slightly older looking than most high schoolers. None of the boys in my senior class rocked that kind of facial hair. They wished they did!

Speaking of In the Loop with iVillage, it debuts today at noon on NBC and on the Web. (Check to see if it's on in your area.) Bill hosts the Chicago-based show along with a chick named Ereka Vetrini, who was also on The Apprentice, and Kim Coles from Living Single.
Also, as it is the day after the Emmys (check out our Best & Worst of the 2007 Emmys story), they're also giving away an Emmy gift basket. So log in now to try and win it.


"Kanye expressed that he felt that Britney shouldn't be actually opening the show - almost like he forgot that Britney Spears sold 50 million records," 50 told Ryan Seacrest. "She did. He is not thinking about her full body of work. She deserved to headline the show better than anybody else that was on it - even in the state that she is in."
I'm not sure how much he knows about "the state Britney was in," but I'd like to find out more. And though I'm pretty sure no matter what Kanye said, 50 would say the opposite, it's nice to hear that someone thinks Britney is still worth something.


Rush and Malloy say that Milo was getting "a lot of support at the NBC party" from Hayden on Saturday night, and although the cheerleader told Ryan Seacrest that she brought her mom and her agent as her dates to the actual telecast, the camera caught Hayden and Milo sitting pretty close during the show.
So, are they dating? Probably, which is just a nightmare for me. Have you tried spelling these two names without having to look it up? I tell you, it's just not possible.


Well, here's some good news! O.J. Simpson was arrested and ordered to be held without bail in connection with that alleged armed robbery, involving sports memorabilia, that took place Thursday night at Las Vegas's Palace hotel. O.J. has been charged with two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit burglary and burglary with a firearm.
No, no murder charges this time, but if he is convicted A convicted, he O.J could be sentenced to anywhere from three to 35 years for each count. I would so believe in karma if that actually happened.

We're gone too. Nite!
Stay tuned for Lindsey's best & worst of the emmy awards slide show.

Does this mean Alec Baldwin is going to stick with TV for a while?



Meanwhile, funny conversation here tonight at our Emmy party...
Lindsey: Do you capitalize the C in 50 Cent?
Suzy: Yeah.
Tracy: (hysterical) That's just a ridiculous question.

Also, we thought it was a tech glitch that cut off Ray Romano during his act -- now, not so much.

And did you see Kanye West whispering to his fiance during Tony's acceptance speech. I bet he was saying, "I should have won that award!"

Dear Emmy producers: I'd like to see more Entourage stars and less boring politicos.
When James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler came out of the floor of the Emmys stage, in the center of all their other castmates, it reminded me of when my family was introduced at my brother's bar mitzvah reception. L' chaim!


Grey's Anatomy star has some big hair. What's with all the young pretty ladies rockin' the senior citizen 'dos? Paris Hilton has had some really big hair lately, too. But this... this is a foul.
Nice helmet!
Sorry for the lapse but Robert Duvall sucked the life out of me -- twice.

Meanwhile, hope that's a spray-on tan... and not fake-and-bake bed tan.

Meanwhile, I can't believe she won! It was all about Denny.

How embarrassing! The announcer girl pronounced Katherine Heigl's name "Hi-jul". It should be in her job description to know how to say everyone's name.
Kyle Chandler = yummy.
I was so surprised that Fox was broadcasting the Emmys this year. I don't know, I just don't think they compare with the big three -- NBC, CBS or ABC. And they just proved they can't! When Ray Romano was delivering a joke, suddenly it cut to an aerial camera above the circular stage and there was no sound. None.
Low production values, I guess.
