The folks at Heavy.com are geniuses. Please, please watch their re-enactment of MTV's The Hills, with senior citizens playing the parts of Lauren, Spencer and Heidi. I had to put my hand over mouth because I was giggling uncontrollably. What's even funnier is that I Iike the Heidi from Over the Hills so much more than the real one.

I'd love to be able to tell you that Kat and Josh were getting hammered in celebration of their upcoming nuptials (they plan to wed right around Christmas), but the couple was actually throwing back shots of wheatgrass and ginger at a local health store in Los Feliz, Ca.
Looking for a little honeymoon love potion, are we?


Test your celebrity smarts by playing this new Celebrity Concentration game called Star Alma Maters. See if you can match stars to their schools before the timer runs out. And brag a bit by posting your score below.

To celebrate these moms -- and moms in general -- we have a fun new quiz called Who's Your Celebrity Mom? After you take it, post your results below. And to my mom, Nancy... You're heads and tails above the rest. xo

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.

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?

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?

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.
Here's a fun blind item for you all to take a stab at, courtesy of the Daily News:
"Which celebrity actress' Xanax prescription is often passed around in Los Angeles nightclubs by an equally famous younger actress, who's friends with her daughter?"
I have my guess, but I don't want to taint yours. Guess away!

That said, I suggest that Demi's daughter Rumer Willis not walk out the house without taking a quick minute to say "Hey mom, how am I lookin'?"
Rumer is totally channelling Mary Katherine Gallagher, the lusty, clutsy Catholic school girl (fabulously played by Molly Shannon).
I just don't get it.




"Dating becomes very different [after a divorce]. You realize after you have had children that you'll never love anything more than your child... So it makes the new sort of single-mom dating process very different. It's like growing up. It's adult."

Britney Spears
Uma Thurman
Kate Hudson
Mary-Louise Parker

Over the weekend she was at the 18th Annual Wild Wild West Carnival in Watermill, New York, schmoozin' with The Insider host Pat O'Brien. Yes, the Pat O'Brien who left psychotic, drugged out voicemails begging for sex from some woman who wasn't his wife, then followed them up with a trip to rehab. Creep city. I'd stay 20 feet away from the guy, but not Christie. Not sure if she's polite... or clueless.
Caption the photo...
With Pat O'Brien invading her personal space, the smiley, sweet Christie Brinkley is thinking ___________________________.
*The winning caption will be announced in my Daily Blabber video on Friday.

It's tough work being an intern at iVillage.
With Lindsay Lohan's scandal the only thing anyone is talking about these days, we thought it would be fun to "assign" our interns -- the wonderful Joanna and Katie -- the laborious task of trekking four blocks to Times Square to Madame Tussauds's wax museum for a meet and greet with "Prison Lindsay."

Check out their work...

Has anyone ever heard of Imari Seduction perfume by Avon? According to Perez, award-winning actress and former American Idol-er Jennifer Hudson is now peddling their smelly wares.
Liz Smith, Avon executive vice president, gushed, "Avon is a company dedicated to empowering women, and we believe that our Avon Representatives and their customers will be truly inspired by Jennifer's dream-come-true success story."

Sounds like John Mayer's been hitting the peace pipe again. This week, the "Continuum" crooner blogged about the incident at his concert last weekend where 63 people were arrested for underage drinking, reports TMZ.com. Of the 63 people arrested, "55 were named Kyle," John joked. He also feigned shock that those who are under 21 would want to drink at his shows, asking, "What were you thinking? You have your whole life to engage in underage drinking. What's the hurry? I didn't start underage drinking until I was 26." Har-har-har.
The wannabe comic then warned, "If I happen to be walking backstage and I see any of you young men passed out drunk on a stretcher, make no mistake about it, you will come-to in front of your disappointed parents with a face full of Sharpie and the sneaking suspicion that you've been teabagged by one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2007." Hmmm. We wonder if John's penchant for teabagging was the straw that broke the camel's balls -- oops! back -- leading to his break up with Jessica Simpson?

Now here's an all-time best celebrity blooper: Beyonce fell face first down a flight of stairs on stage at her concert in Orlando on Tuesday night, reports PerezHilton.com. Ouch.
The Bootylicious One slid down the steps, flailed around for a moment,
scrambled to get her mic (that went sliding across stage)... but kept on singing! Now there's a trooper.
She did end up with a bleeding gash on her leg, but basically Beyonce is OK. Hopefully she had Jay-Z nearby to lick her wounds after the show!
Sitting down for a song later, the songbird pleaded with the audience if they taped it
"not to post it on Youtube." Too late -- Perez just posted a video of the accident.

Desperate Housewives hunk Jesse Metcalfe, 28, is best known for playing a sexy gardener on TV, but now he's sowing the seeds towards a new musical career.
"I think a lot of people will be surprised to learn that I actually have talent," Jesse told People Magazine last weekend after an unplugged performance at the opening of Cain at the Cove at the Bahamas' Cove Atlantis. "I love playing to an audience. It's really gratifying."
Jesse sang an acoustic guitar set last Saturday night before a crowd that included Stacy Keibler, Jamie King, Chloe Sevigny, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan. He spotlighted two songs he wrote and recorded for his upcoming album, Darklight. FYI: Metcalfe compares his music to Nine Inch Nails.
Recently out of rehab, Metcalfe told People, "I'm doing really well. I'm taking care of myself... I have too much going on right now to mess it up."
Meanwhile, another up-and-coming TV star has designs on the pop star lifestyle: Heroes cheerleader Hayden Panettiere put down her pom-poms and picked up a mic last Saturday too. But according to TMZ.com the results were less than heroic. Hayden attempted to belt one-hit-wonder Meredith Brooks' single "Bitch" onstage at Cal State Fullerton, but sources say her vocals were too "pitchy." Hayden performed with "Heroes" co-star Greg Grunberg and their so-called "Band From TV" -- a cover band made up of Hugh Laurie, James Denton, Bonnie Somerville, and Bob Guiney from "The Bachelor."

She may seem sweet and demure, but the star of The Hills is tougher than she looks. Page Six reports that Lauren Conrad was playing tackle football at a Malibu beach barbecue hosted by Brody Jenner when she "tackled him too hard and broke his finger. He had to be rushed to the hospital." Ever the party boy, Brody returned to his beach bash a few hours later with his hand in a cast, yelled "I need a beer!", and chugged a Rolling Rock in under a minute. Then Lauren punched him in the face. (Just kidding!)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final installment in J.K. Rowling's beloved franchise, moved 8.3 million copies in its first 24 hours on sale in the U.S., setting a new record reports The New York Post.
Copies of the book averaged more than 300,000 sales per hour (that's over 5,000 sales per minute). And at $34.99 a piece, Hallows generated far greater revenue than the opening weekend of the latest Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which came out July 10th.
So what's the final verdict on Hallows: Did you love it or are you ready to leave Harry -- Hogwarts and all -- behind?

Quit searching bathroom stall walls for Luke Wilson's phone number. PerezHilton.com reports that Johnny Knoxville played a wicked prank on the brunette Wilson brother this weekend.
Saturday afternoon, a plane was seen flying over the Malibu skies with a banner that read: “Luke Wilsons’ phone #310-500-00**."
“That’s Luke’s real phone number,” a source told Perez. “He’s gonna get Johnny back.”
We're sure Ashton Kutcher's cell phone is vibrating like mad at this very moment.

Though Jessica Simpson's body is surely a "Wonderland," John Mayer's relationship with the blonde beauty seemingly brought the singer nothing but gossipy grief. John, 29, recently told GQ.com that he knew Ryan Seacrest would ask about his fling with the elder Simpson sister at this year's Grammy ceremony, so he planned his retaliation in advance.
"When Ryan says, 'You know I have to ask you' -- which is one of the dumbest prefaces of all time -- I think, Maybe I’ll just answer you in Japanese," he explained. "And then you’ll have to figure it out." (John says he rehearsed his Japanese-spoken response for three days. It translated into, "She's a lovely woman and I'm glad to be with her.") Was John miffed at Ryan? Nah. A source tells Us Weekly, "[He and Ryan] are friends. This is something John said in jest."
Unfortunately, John wasn't quite as clever -- or cocky -- when he found out that upon first listen former Sony head Don Ienner didn't like his latest disc, Continuum. "I cried that day," John remembers. "That was a rough day. There were other things going on, and I’d quit music in my head for about forty-five minutes."
Only forty-five minutes? Cry us a river, John. Thoughts of Jessica Simpson (in the flesh) could dry any man's tiny tears.


Well, kick off your Sunday shoes, people! The Kevin Bacon classic, Footloose, is shimmy-ing its way back to the big screen, with High School Musical's Zac Efron in talks to the play role of boogie rebel, Ren McCormack. Variety reports that producers will turn the flick into a full-blown musical. Zac is already starring in the remake of the '80's cult classic Hairspray this summer.
I'll give you that Zac is a cutie with potential, but there is no way he could ever make my heart do back flips, the way Kevin did, back in the day, when he yelled, "Let's Daaaaaaance!"

Tori Spelling has taken a page from the Joey Tribbiani book and has become ordained!
That's right, Donna Martin has graduated and is a reverend. According to Perez Hilton, little Liam's mom was ordained this past week, and has already performed her first ceremony. Tori officiated a same-sex wedding at her Bed and Breakfast, Chateau La Rue, over the weekend, and word is we'll get to see her skills when it is aired on season two of Oxygen's Tori and Dean: Inn Love.
You know, my husband and I had planned on going to Vegas for our 10th anniversary (in 5 years) so we could get remarried by Elvis. Now I'm thinking how much better it would be to say that Donna Martin married us. Though I have a sneaky suspicion he's not going to be as enthusiastic as I am.

So how does it work? You match photos of celebs to their eco-conscious efforts before the timer runs out. And after you ace it (I'm so optimistic), post your results below to brag about how well you did.

This gave me a giggle when most Monday mornings are absolutely giggle-free.
If you couldn't stand to watch Paris Hilton's fib-fest on Larry King the other night, perhaps you might be interested in listening to the "real messages" Paris was sending.
ReverseSpeech.com has concluded that Paris' words heard backwards were much more intriguing than her mumbo jumbo in plain English. For instance, when the heiress was asked about former BFF Britney Spears, the peeps at the website say her response sounds somewhat like, “Snake, her soul is sick.” Love it!
Some of you may think this is all a bunch of nonsense, and that anything we hear when playing the heiress' chat-fest backwards is completely our imagination, but chew on this:
When Larry asked Paris what she learned from her time in jail, her backwards answer was "name bigger.”
Coincidence? I think not.
