tracy: July 2007 Archives

Gossip guru Perez Hilton questioned if the new skinny pics of Kelly, who has struggled with her weight for years, were Photoshop-ed, and this is what she had to say:
"Believe it or not, little Miss Osbourne has lost weight and the only thing that they retouched was my double chin and that bit under your arm pit that can sometimes look like a vagina. Now who wouldn’t want that?"
I hear what Kelly is saying. I mean, I wouldn't want any part of my body (other than the real thing) to look like said lady part, but I'm not so sure I believe that was all that was fixed a bit. What about that nice definition between her boobs? Or her miniscule waist?


Nobody?
Bueller?
Okay, me neither. But the former View co-host has finally decided to open up and admit the truth what we all knew already -- she had gastric bypass surgery. In an interview with Glamour, Star said she avoided questions about her weight loss because she was "scared of what people might think of me."
"Everything about me was already so public (mostly my own doing — talk about dumb!), so of course everyone wanted to know what I had done," she writes. "I was also terrified someone would have a tragic result after emulating me without making an informed decision with her doctor."
Star admitted that her food addiction had gotten out of control and caused her to gain 75lbs in 17 months. “I used to look in the mirror and take pride in my figure, but that was when I was legitimately a full-figured woman,” she says. “I’d gradually gone from full-figured to morbidly obese."
So she went under the knife in August of 2003 and has lost 160 lbs since. Though, just like my very smart friend Judy always tells me, changing your outside doesn't necessarily change how you feel on the inside, and Starr found that to be true. Though the weight was gone, she still felt "consumed with the same anger, shame and insecurity as before." And because there is no surgery for that, Star headed to therapy to deal with her issues and says she has finally begun to heal.
Good for her. I hope she has learned that when you are in the public eye, and do something to yourself that is very easily noticed (like losing 160lbs), it's better just to come out and say so. We will have much more respect for you if you do.
If you've ever been called "Ms. Grabby Pants" by anyone, please do not attend a Faith Hill/Tim McGraw concert.
At a stop on their Soul2Soul tour in Louisiana, Faith gave one fan a very public tongue-lashing for trying to cop a feel of her hot hubby's package. You can watch the video of it all going down here -- it's hilarious.
"Somebody needs to teach you some class, my friend," Faith scolded the fan. "You don't go grabbin' somebody else's -- somebody's husband's b*lls, you understand me? That's very disrespectful."
I love it! Faith is one scary lady when you cross her. So here is the moral of the story: Control yourself at the sight of Tim and don't be reaching for his family jewels -- and don't be grabbin' at Faith's stones either!
Though I'm sure Paris Hilton was crying when she found out that The Simple Life was not being picked up for yet another enlightening season, her tears were dried by the news that she had won a role in a new big-screen flick.
Yes, Paris will be playing Paul Sorvino's daughter in the upcoming movie, Repo! The Genetic Opera, a musical set in the year 2056 (Lord, help us). The premise? "When a plague nearly destroys the human race and survival is dependent upon being able to finance a pricey organ transplant," Variety reports.
The director of the film, Darren Lynn Bousman, says the socialite was a perfect fit for the character. "This movie has become my life. I have auditioned at least 30 actresses for this role - Paris came in and owned it. She is this role."
Paris singing and acting, in a full feature film, on a giant screen at my multiplex? I'm thinking about starting a petition to save The Simple Life. Who's with me?
All the stress of her wedding that went up in flames may have gotten to Usher's fiance, Tameka Foster.
The pop star's expectant lady was rushed to a hospital in Atlanta on Sunday and rumors swirled that the botched nuptials had sent her in to pre-term labor. "We had a scare," Tameka told People. "But, I am fine and the baby is fine.”
As for the number of whisperings as to why Saturday's wedding was called off, Tameka says that all the stories are rubbish. "No one knows why we canceled the wedding, but I can tell you that all of the reasons that everyone is speculating and writing about are completely untrue," she told the mag. Yet, she declined to reveal more about why the nuptials were called off.
I'm not saying that there was or wasn't an issue with the pregnancy, but this Tameka sounds like she knows what buttons to push to keep Usher firmly planted by her side -- no matter what his mama says. Will there actually be a wedding? Stay tuned.
Jenna Elfman and her husband, Bodhi, welcomed a baby boy to the world on July 23, according to the actress' rep. Story Elias weighed in at 7 lbs., 2 oz and already has a list of his favorite things. "[Story Elias'] likes include classical music, a clean diaper, mom's boobs and long naps. Story wants to give big props to his mom for all the hard work," the rep said in a statement to Us Weekly.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are said to be finalizing their divorce as we speak. After just over two years of marriage, the pop star is thisclose to officially closing the chapter of her life as Mrs. K-Fed.
"We believe that hopefully today their divorce will be final," the singer's attorney, Laura Wasser, told People Monday. "The papers will be bare-bones, and we're trying to get the rest of the details sealed."
Wasser said the couple will agree to continue splitting custody 50-50 of their two boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James. She would not comment on the couple's financial settlement, but TMZ is reporting that Kevin is currently getting 15K a month in child support and 20K a month in spousal support via the prenup, which should end in November.
I'm pretty sure, even with the divorce papers signed, sealed and delivered, this nightmare is far from over. Neither Britney nor Kevin are said to be happy with the custody agreement and can go back into court and ask for a change. With Britney giving Kevin leverage, day after day, with her stripping-freaking-out-at-photo-shoot-partying-rehab-head-shaving antics, nobody would be surprised if those kids end up living in their dad's home. Sad.

Unless they were planning on doing The Simple Life: Cell Mates, it's a good thing that E! has cancelled the reality shtick that stars Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.
A source at the network tells Us Weekly that overexposure is to blame for the show's demise. "We felt like the real life drama of their lives overshadowed anything happening on the show," says the insider. "Viewers would see Paris all day long on the news about her going to jail, so they didn't care about seeing her camping with kids. It just was too played out."
Ya think? That's the smartest thing I've heard about Paris, um, let me think...EVER!
But the insider also said that it wasn't the heiress that was the troublemaker last season. "Paris carried the show. She was the one willing to do anything," says the source. "Nicole was the diva."
Probably because Nicole was so over the whole "sidekick" thing and looking forward to planning her new life as wife and mother with her bf Joel Madden. Or because she knew she was going to jail --- for real. Whatever, the bottom line is that the show is done and it's just one less half hour we'll have to see or hear Paris and Nicole "pretend" to be clueless.
And let us all say, "Amen."

Though the official statement is said to come sometime next week, word is that the empty seats next to Barbara Walters have been filled.
The L.A. Times is reporting that ABC plans to hire Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd to join Babs and the other girls, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar, on The View. Both funny ladies have guest-hosted on the show a bunch of times, and now have been offered the jobs to replace former hosts Rosie O'Donnell, who left the show amidst a battle with Elisabeth in June, and Star Jones who exited in 2006.
I'm just happy we can finally stop talking about this, but let's go out with a bang. Are you happy with the new choices? Would you have rather seen ABC hire a guy? What about potential fill-ins Kathy Griffin or Roseanne Barr? Do tell.

Eddie Murphy has asked his girlfriend, Tracey Edmonds, to take the very deep plunge and be his wife. Ed presented Trace with a huge, yellow Cartier diamond (about 8 carats), according to OK!, and that was apparently enough to blind her into accepting the proposal. Tracey flaunted her bling the next afternoon, while lunching with friends. “She looked very happy,” an eyewitness told the mag “She was proudly showing off the ring.”
Word is that the "very happy" couple plan to tie the knot before the end of the year. “It will be a private wedding,” says the source. “Something low key and very romantic.”
Riiiiiight. Because romance is Eddie's specialty. It was especially romantic when he publicly dumped Spice Girl Mel B., while she was pregnant with his child, then denied being the baby's father, until a DNA test proved that he was, indeed, the daddy.

Not only were there no Ushers at the wedding planned for a pop star this weekend, there was no nothing.
Usher and his expectant fiance, Tameka Foster, called off their nuptials, that were supposed to take place in Southhampton, NY, Saturday afternoon. A number of stories are swirling as to why the blessed event just didn't happen, notably the fact that Usher's mom is rumored to hate Tameka.
"Usher's mother is against the wedding. That is one of the main obstacles," a source told People.com. The talker also added, "They only decided two weeks ago to have a wedding. They wanted to have it take place before the baby bump started showing."
Another insider said that Usher just changed his mind. Whatever the reason, it was definitely a last minute decision as the venue for the wedding (Music Producer L.A. Reid's home) was all ready to go.
"The tents were up," an insider said. "And they paid all of the people, the vendors, so that wasn't an issue."
Nobody knows if Usher and Tameka will reschedule the nups, or if they are even still together, but wedding or no wedding there is still a baby on the way for these two. Let's hope they get it together before a ruckus breaks out in the delivery room.

Britney Spears' gargantuan meltdown continues, as more details emerge from the day of her OK! photo shoot fiasco. After acting like a total wacko for the mag, Brit headed to the studio to continue to shoot the video for her new single, "Get Back." In black fishnets and a leather vest, Britney attempted to pole dance, even though sources on set say that the messed up mom had been acting "disoriented" and "erratic" after one of many toilet breaks.
"You could see she was getting a bit wobbly, but no one expected her to throw a complete fit," a source told the British tabloid News of the World. "Suddenly, she was in floods of tears and stormed off set. She eventually came back but was sobbing hysterically."
With Brit losing it, the video's director had to call the shoot early and send everyone home.

He is one wild and crazy guy!
Steve Martin shocked friends and family when he wed girlfriend, Anne Stringfield, at his home this weekend. Guests, including SNL's Lorne Michaels (who was the Best Man), Diane Keaton, Tom Hanks and Eugene Levy, were invited to Steve's house for a plain old party and were treated to a wedding instead.
Steve recited his vows sportin' and Inspector Clouseau mustache, as he is getting ready to film The Pink Panther sequel. That must have tickled! Congrats!
More evidence that the Jolie-Pitts are creepily like your average family at the end of the block -- except for the fact that they're gorgeous and have children that multiply like Gremlins.
Brad and Angelina took three of their four kids (Shiloh missed out) for some fun at a French adventure park, People.com reports. Angelina had just finished filming her latest flick, Wanted, in Prague, days before, when the super-famous family shocked the staff at Aventure-Parc in Massignac. "We don't get French celebrities, so it's completely crazy to find yourself standing with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the most chased-after couple in the world in front of you," said the employee. "Completely crazy."
The park operator said the kids took part in all kinds of outdoor activities, like tree-climbing and rope swings, and that even Brad got in on some of the fun. "To see Brad Pitt knocking around in a bouncy castle with his children [and] screaming like wild animals was like a hallucination."
I bet. Next Angie is going to be running the bake sale at the PTA meeting.

"I’ll say it right now: I’m not gay. I love women. Women are God’s greatest creation," he flatters. "But I have no problem with people who are gay."
The gorgeous hunk of a man was innocently on vacation with two friends (who were coincendentally left out of the photos) and decided to strip down and take the plunge. "We found a nude beach that, as far as I know, was a unisex beach…I had two hot chicks with me who wanted to go skinny dipping,” Shemar continued. “Thank God the water was fairly warm!"
So Shemar is not gay. He's just an incredibly hot guy who gets naked and frisky with his friends on vacation. That I can handle.


The big-haired songstress had a bit of an episode the other night, while playing a set in Cornwall, England. Seems Amy forgot some of her own lyrics (I can't imagine what would cause that), got herself all in a tizzy and proceeded to spit on the crowd. One fan told London's Evening Standard,"Members of her entourage were coming onto the stage, obviously worried she couldn't go on, and she would just shout 'F*ck off' at them."
She's just a delight. Maybe if she fixed her chompers she wouldn't have so much trouble keeping her mouth juices in.

Work, work, work,
All day long,
Work, work, work,
While I sing my song
That's my ode to Britney Spears, as she began filming her first video in a very long time yesterday. Our friends at Access Hollywood have the photos of Brit on set for her new masterpiece, the video which is rumored to be for her new song entitled, "Get Back." The pop star is decked out in a short, short, black mini-dress and high black leather boots, sporting a long black wig. I could easily mistake that get up for any one of Britney's horrendous outifts, but at least she's wearing clothes. You never know when my girl's going to just get the urge to strip and swim.

In the new issue of GQ, Matt gives an interview to promote his new flick, The Bourne Ultimatum, but chooses to stay quiet about his wife, Luciana, and their baby girl, Isabella. And though some may find it frustrating that Matt likes to keep his private life, well, private, I find it refreshing and commendable. I think it proves that you can have some sort of boundaries in Hollywood if you really try.
Here are some things Matt was willing to talk about:
On he and Ben Affleck getting their first big paycheck after selling the script for Good Will Hunting: "We both bought Jeep Grand Cherokees. It was funny, because Ben and I, we both always wanted a Jeep Grand Cherokee for some reason. That was the car. We always talked about it but never could afford one. So when we suddenly had the money, we each instantly started trying to convince each other to get a different car. We’d say, ‘Hey, have you seen the Explorer? The Ford Explorer is really cool.’ Because we knew it would just be so gay to get the same car."On the differences between Jason Bourne and James Bond:
"Bond is part of the system. He’s an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people, and he sits there slugging martinis. It’ll never be the same thing as this, because Bourne is a guy who is against the establishment, who is paranoid and on the run. I just think fundamentally they’re just very different things."On why not commenting on his personal life makes him a better actor:
"The better the actor, the less you know about his life. “I mean, nobody’s better than De Niro, and you don’t know anything about him, right?” Look at Meryl. We don’t know sh*t about Meryl. Look at Clint. And Jack. And Brando. Marlon Brando—who f*ing knows, right?"

People.com is reporting that Lindsay "quietly surrendered to Beverly Hills police Thursday" to be booked on misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and the hit-and-run. Accompanied by her lawyer, Lindsay was released on $30,000 bail in just about an hour.
A court date was set for August 24th -- which is bound to eventful. Lindsay's blood tests subsequently revealed that she had cocaine and nearly twice the legal amount of alcohol in her system the morning of the accident, according to a source close to the investigation. Police had also found "a usable amount" of cocaine inside her car.
Linds has already completed a 45-day rehab stint and continues to wear an alcohol monitoring device, so it will interesting to see what a judge will have in store for the star. Could she possibly be getting the Paris Hilton suite at Lynnwood?
Has Lindsay Lohan's alleged drinking and drugging ruined her movie career?
Well, it's not looking promising. Lindsay was set to start production of the film Poor Things with Shirley McClaine as soon as she was released from rehab, but after continue to club hop this weekend, sources close to the film say Lindsay's too much of a risk for the film's insurance companies. According to Page Six, an alleged email from the set designer on the flick said this:
"Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news, but I just received a call from Jacky Gilardi, the producer, pulling the plug on the ill-fated film. Apparently, Ms. Lohan's antics in Las Vegas over the weekend have scared the bond companies and all of the funding has been pulled"
A friend of Lindsay's says that it's all rubbish, and that the starlet was not to blame for the collapse of the film. "She had nothing to do with that movie shutting down. It was a mess to begin with. They randomly fired Channing Tatum for Giovanni Ribisi, and then financing fell through because producers spent money like water. It was only supposed to cost $4 million - Lindsay was being paid nothing for that role."
If Lindsay's career is tanking before she deals with the legal aftermath of her DUI arrest and the cocaine found in her car, Poor Things might just be the right name for LiLo's biography.
If you watched even one episode of her season on The Surreal Life, you had to see this coming. Flavor Flav's former love (and Sylvester Stallone's ex-wife), Brigitte Nielsen, has checked in to rehab after her family staged an intervention. The actress, who was seen frequently boozing it up on the VH1 reality show in 2005, reluctantly agreed to go for help after her new husband, Mattia Dessi, begged her to sober up.
A source says, "It took an ultimatum from her family to get through to Brigitte - either she gets help or she loses her loved ones' support." Her manager confirms the actress is in rehab, stating "Brigitte's getting the help she needs and has a positive attitude about her recovery."
We wish Brigitte the best and hope Flav brings her a big giant clock to count all of her sober minutes, hours and days to come.

Was anyone else wondering why Entourage's star hottie Adrian Grenier was single and not dating?
Silly us! The actor has had a secret ongoing relationship with a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model for over two years. People.com reports that Adrian has been quietly dating Melissa Keller, and that friends of the actor are calling her his girlfriend. The couple may have decided to take their love a tad more public, as Melissa was keeping her man company at his 31st birthday party earlier this month. Also, on July 14, the duo snuggled at a Los Angeles bash, where, says a spy, they "seemed oblivious to everyone around them."
Well, good for Adrian, but bad for my friend Donna, who was convinced she was destined to marry him.

Perhaps my wish is about to come true. Perez Hilton says that word on the street is that Brit is rehearsing a big number for the VMAs, which is being held at the Palms in Las Vegas. The starlet has been working hard on her new album and is said to be "itching" to show off some of her new stuff.
And since it seems that my prayers are being answered, I will wish for 90210 reunion. Just because.
Make sure you get your mail today, kids. Apparently, red velvet, gold lettered invites have been sent out for the Poshest (pun intended) party in town.
David and Victoria Beckham have been in the states for a full minute and their big star buds have decide to throw them a "Welcome to America" bash. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, along with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, are hosting the event on Sunday and sources are buzzing that half of Hollywood has been invited.
Immediately what comes to mind are those terribly spoiled kids from MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen, who go to school with some sort of entourage and call out the names of the invitees. The ones that are privileged enough to get invited are so happy that they, while those that are left out are humiliated in front of the whole school and left to feel bad about themselves. Anyone else see the parallel?

In a video you can see here, Gary loses his mind when a paparazzi tries to take some video of the actor outside the Hollywood hot spot Hyde, repeatedly slamming the pap's head into the ground, while others tried to get him to stop. After he finished his beat down, Gary said, "I know all the cops around here, they're my friends." But that's not all. Gary returned later, with a big bunch of hoodlums, and allegedly chased the photographer around the streets of Hollywood, until the scared camera man was able to flag down a cab and head straight to the police station to file charges.
Gary's rep released this statement: "Gary has always been respectful of the media and the paparazzi but also values his privacy. It's our belief that this is a minor incident exaggerated by an eager paparazzo in order to create a story."

The mag talks to a psychiatrist Dr. Arnold Gilberg, who says that because women like Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Jessica Simpson and Reese Witherspoon are so shut off from the real world, their chances of finding real love are quite small.
"Megastars are in a unique position because they are protected from so many people," the doc says. "They are limited in the people they meet more than the average woman."
The shrink also says that, if the celebs do happen to come across your average Joe (like Julia Roberts' hubby, Danny Moder), the men tend to be extremely intimidated by the ladies' level of stardom. "They feel there is too much to fulfill," he reveals.
So, if these gorgeous girls are having trouble finding a man, should non-famous celebrity woman around the world be stocking up on cats, in hopes of not having to die alone?
I say, NO WAY. True love will find us all when the time is right. And anyway, the single women I know are strong and beautiful and certainly not crying themselves to sleep at night without a partner to make it all better -- just like I'm sure Jen, Cam and Reese aren't either.
Ah, the exhaustion excuse. Love it.
Wild card Dave Chappelle checked into to an emergency room in Los Angeles Saturday because he was really, really tired, his rep confirmed Tuesday. The comedian was treated and released a few hours later.
"It was exhaustion; he had been traveling," she said. "He's fine."
The name of the hospital is not being released, perhaps for fear that someone might actually find out what was really going on.
I don't know about you, but when I'm "exhausted" I fall asleep. I don't go to the emergency room and ask them to help me. And I wonder if the "exhaustion" wing is anywhere near the "dehydration" wing.

"The attention was what was embarrassing," she tells the new issue of Vogue. "It was the December after Sept. 11. … So much attention was being paid to me, when we had just been attacked, and there was all this really important news going on."
Winona says that pills played a part in her breaking the law. "Two months prior to that, I broke my arm in two places, and the doctor … was giving me a lot of stuff, and I was taking it at first to get through the pain. And then there was this weird point when you don't know if you are in pain but you're taking it." She continues: "Have you ever taken painkillers? It isn't a reckless (state), like you're out of your head. It's just confusion."
The actress, who is making a comeback of sorts with three new movies coming out, says she made the conscious decision to lay off work after her arrest. She moved to San Francisco to live near her parents, who supported her through the tough time. "No one (in my family) ever got angry with me. Concerned, yes, but not concerned with a drug problem or anything. Because after that night I pretty much didn't ever. … If you are ever arrested, you can't ever do that again," she says.
I was always a big Winona fan. Reality Bites ranks up there on my list of favorite movies, so I'm glad to see the little lady has healed. And now, with cocaine and porn tape scandals flooding Tinseltown, Winona's little shoplifting incident is the tiniest blip on the celebrity crime radar.
I couldn't resist posting this blind item from Page Six. I'm not one to name names, but I'm thinking that it couldn't be more obvious:
WHICH hard-partying starlet has figured out a way to get high while wearing an alcohol-monitoring anklet? She was asking where she could score some Ecstasy at a Vegas club the other night . . .

Kelly Ripa may, very well, have it all. On the cover of this month's Redbook, the co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly talks about her marriage to hottie Mark Consuelos, and life with their three kids. Kelly says when she met Mark it was truly lust at first sight.
"I've had a crush on my husband since the day I met him," the tiny blonde tells the mag. "I had a dream about him that night," she recalls. "The next day I went up to him, and although I didn't even know his name, I said, 'I had had a dream about you last night.'" Kelly revealed to Mark, who was practically a stranger, that she had dreamed that they were married with a daughter.
Well, dreams apparently do come true. Kelly and Mark eloped to Vegas eleven years ago, and, today, have two sons and, yes, a daughter. So, is Mark as thrilled with everything as Kelly is? "She pretty much fulfilled all of my requirements and then some," he admits.
Wow, these two are gorgeous and in love. I would totally hate them if I didn't like them so much.
Who isn't picking on Britney Spears these days?
The Humane Society of the United States is using Brit's purchase of her new puppy, as a platform to inform people of the evils of pet stores. In a press release, the Society's director of outreach for companion animals said: "Most dogs sold in pet stores come from puppy mills -- factory-like facilities, churning out purebred and “designer” puppies in large numbers...Every time someone purchases a dog from a pet store, they risk perpetuating the horrendous business of puppy mills.”
Okay, I like puppies just as much as the next guy, but even I'm feeling bad for Britney in this situation. Give the girl a break! She bought her kids a dog and now she's the poster child for animal cruelty? Hey, Humane Society, speaking of kicking a dog when they're down. Where's the humanity?
You decide for yourself if you think Donald Trump was serious when he offered his nemesis, Rosie O'Donnell, a spot on the next season of The Apprentice.
It was announced yesterday that The Donald is set to produce a celebrity edition of his show, and the mogul told People that he would love to have Ro as a contestant. "If Rosie would like to do it, she would be treated very fairly," he said. "Don't forget her show got the highest ratings in December and January when she and I went at it. So I think it would be very good for Rosie. And she would be treated very fairly."
As usual, Trump is looking to make the biggest dollar he can, and with the potential to fire Rosie on national television, this would be his gold mine. Unfortunately for him, Rosie has declined -- in a big way.
"It will not happen in this lifetime or beyond," says Ro's rep.
What if they could make some kind of deal like Rosie would do The Apprentice if Donald would appear on her video blog. To be honest, I've only seen Ro's blog a handful of times, but my friend Tara says it's addictive. Maybe Ro and Don would find that they are more alike than they realize.
Kate Hudson has moved on from her affair with Owen Wilson and has found a new, chilvarious gentleman to take his place.
Kate was seen leaving Nobu in Malibu hand-in-hand with a shirtless Dax Shepard. Isn't there a dress code at those fancy restaurants, you might ask? Of course, but Dax, who is often seen messing with celebs on Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd, removed his top so his date could use it to block her face from the paparazzi, as the couple left the eatery.
As gallant as that might be, it's not exactly the best route to go if you're trying not to draw attention to yourselves. Anyway, Kate was smiling and laughing as the two drove off in a black convertible. She looked cute and happy -- points for Dax!

You see, Gisele's guy, Tom Brady, is awaiting the birth of his first child by his ex Bridget Moynahan, and said tot is due to arrive on Friday -- which just happens to be Gisele's birthday. Sources say, though Gisele and Tom have been putting on a happy face in public, the Victoria's Secret model is miserable that the golden child is set to arrive on her big day. A spy for Page Six said that the tension between the couple is so thick that they were seen fighting openly about it, in front of hotel guests.
I guess Gisele is not too keen on sharing an Elmo cake with the kid next year.

Breathe, people! It's not a baby Spederline or anything of the sort.
Britney Spears has picked up a new little pooch to add to her wacky family. According to People, Britney stopped in to Pets of Bel Air on Friday – and left with a $3,000 Yorkie puppy.
"She picked up the dog and loved it right away, she was incredibly nice and very pleasant," said another pet lover.
Brit paid with plastic and walked out with her new little guy in under a half hour. The pop star has reportedly named the pup "London". I bet Sean Preston and Jayden are psyched!
It's pretty clear to me what's going on. Since getting rid of her mom, and dropping her faithful cousin Alli, Brit is planning on filling the empty spaces in her life with animals. Not bad move, if you ask me. Dogs tend to be a lot more loyal than people.

Beyond all the clouds of smoke stands Snoop Dogg the Family Man -- and we're about to get a good look at him.
Snoop will be starring in his own reality show on E! this fall. The program will provide a peek into the rapper's rarely-seen home life, with his of ten years, Shante, and their three kids.
"While he has captured a legion of fans as the king of hip-hop, what makes Snoop most interesting is the side of him that people have never seen," said Ted Harbert, president and CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group. "The juggling act that Snoop faces day-in, day-out between career and family is certain to resonate with our viewers."
Did you know that Snoop has a valid certificate from the state of California allowing him to use marijuana for medicinal purposes? Well, he does, which should make for some interesting television. Expect lots of "puff, puff, give" from the Dogg. Fo' shizzle.

Page Six is reporting that underground website celebslam.com has naked photos of Lilo and her sometimes-boyfriend, Calum Best. The site's owner is claiming to have had a G-mail chat with Linds, in which the starlet allegedly wrote:
"All I know is that someone broke into my computer and left a file on my desktop saying he got the pictures Cal took from me naked."
Lindsay's rep was contacted about said photos and responded: "Anything is possible. I know nothing about it, but her lawyers have been contacted."
Please, please! Lindsay, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and all the others who are about to become a tabloid meal ticket (Hayden Panettiere I'm talking to you) DO NOT let your boyfriends take naked photos of you if you don't want the whole world to see you hoo-ha!

According to Jim got a new life when it was picked up for another season last week and so did its star.
Courtney Thorne-Smith, who plays Jim Belushi's wife on the sitcom, is pregnant and expecting her first child with husband, Roger Fishman, this winter. The couple will be getting a nice anniversary gift, as they celebrate their first year of marriage on New Years Day.
I will always hold Courtney close to my heart from her days as drunky Alison, on Melrose Place. I've spent many nights drinking beer on my couch, pretending I was at Shooters, hoping to get into a catfight with Amanda and end up in bed with Jake.

I'm sure you won't be the slightest bit surprised to know that Diddy is nursing his broken heart with tall, leggy blondes.
After confirming his split with long-time baby mama, Kim Porter, last week, Diddy is consoling himself with parties. The rapper headed down to Baltimore this weekend, to host his "All White Diddy Affair," where a spy said he kept an unidentified blonde by his side.
"They were friendly," the onlooker told PEOPLE. "He seemed happy, very pleasant, and very carefree," says another partygoer. "He was dancing. And so was the girl with the blonde hair – she was dancing [in front of him]. She was enjoying herself too."
I'm sure Diddy was "enjoying" himself, as his flaxen-haired dancer was said to be wearing a sparkly silver minidress and stilettos.
Well, that sounds like a good time for him. I mean, what else is he going to do? Should he have to stay home and, I don't know, take care of all his kids or something? Don't be silly.

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O' Connell finally tied the knot this weekend at a hot, hot, hot party. Their wedding theme of choice? Cowboy-style, partner!
In over 100-degree heat, friends and family of Rebecca and Jerry sweated it out, as the couple said their vows underneath a big tree on the grounds of their Calabasas ranch. The quick 15-minute ceremony ended with a kiss and the newlyweds skipped back down the aisle to a gospel choir.For the reception, their guests were treated to an elaborate barbecue complete with brown picnic tables, wagon wheels, colorful hay bale seats and a large dance floor that was placed over the couple's pool.
This was the second wedding for Rebecca, who was married to jet-lag victim, John Stamos, for six years.
I hope Becca doesn't plan on hyphenating her name again, I've just stopped calling her Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and she and John have been divorced since 2004.
Lindsay Lohan is back on the streets.
Lilo's rep gave this statement to PEOPLE magazine:
"On Friday, July 13, 2007, Lindsay Lohan successfully completed her 45 days of residential and extended care treatment at Promises. She has transitioned to an intensive outpatient program, which includes attendance at daily AA meetings, outpatient therapy and daily testing. On her own, she has also made the decision in support of her sobriety to wear an alcohol monitoring bracelet. In part she is wearing the bracelet so there are no questions about her sobriety if she chooses to go dancing or dining in a place where alcohol is served."
And that bracelet she was a-wearing (on her ankle), when Lindsay headed straight to Las Vegas' PURE nightclub on Saturday night. Linds laid off the alcohol, choosing an energy drink instead, and danced and laughed with about ten pals.
"A lot of the attention was placed on Lindsay and she was smiling – really enjoying the evening," said one club guest.
Welcome back, Lindsay!

“I dress for men. I dress for men and myself. If I’m dressing for men, then I know it’s good for myself!”
Um, what? I mean, I think we all put ourselves together to feel attractive, but to say she "dresses for men" is just nauseating. To me, it means Jess knows she's looked at like a piece of meat and lives for it. She has every right to feel good about being sexy but, if that's where she gets her self worth, I just feel bad for her.

The Barkers have been beaten, but nobody can say these two kids didn't give it a try.
Even after blink-182's Travis Barker filed for divorce last August from his Dancing With the Stars wife Shanna Moakler, and there was the whole Paris Hilton making out with Trav and then possibly getting punched in the head by Shan, the Meet the Barkers co-stars gave their marriage another go. Well, I'm sad (but not surprised) to report that Travis and Shanna have split up again and, this time, friends say it's a done deal.
"About a month ago, they separated again," the source tells People. "She moved out. As far as she's concerned, it's over. She loves him, but it's one of those relationships where they keep trying to make it work but it doesn't."
Shanna is said to be really broken up about the break up. "She's very upset. She gave this marriage her all. She really loves him."
I don't know if it's because she's a buxom blonde and he's covered in tattoos, but the Barkers remind me so much of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee -- and there relationship is beginning to, as well.

Daimon Shippen is the dude's full identity and, though he's been seen with Britney at church, a production of Wicked, the Four Seasons hotel and giving her kids pony rides in the pool, his pals say he is just the hired help.
"He's her bodyguard and manny," says a source familiar with Damion's situation told People. "They're not dating." The insider describes Damion as "funny, but on the quiet side," and says he is "tickled" by the attention from the media. "But he really wants to focus on his job: taking care of the kids and of her." Well, he's already earned his weight in gold by catching that slippery little sucker, Sean Preston, when Brit almost dropped him last year on a New York City street.
So for those of you who like to break into a rendition of "I Will Always Love You" (Hi, Suzy!) when you see Britney and Daimon together, you still can but, for now, the "love" part will have to be strictly platonic... We think.


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!"
For more on this summer's hottest flicks, check out our Girl's Guide to the 2007 Summer Movie Season.
Courtney Love turned the big 4-3 on Monday, and ever the rock star that she is, Court and friends trashed her fancy London hotel room to celebrate.
Courtney is on tour promoting her new album, Nobody's Daughter, and had played a gig earlier in the night. Later, Kurt Cobain's widow took her new man, Noel Fielding, back to her expensive digs at the five-star Central London Hotel, where they indulged in a drink or twenty and proceeded to wreck the place.
A spy for London's Daily Mirror whispered, "Staff said the room was left in a right state - like a wild animal had been let loose in there. She had used the place as an ashtray with butts strewn about and burn marks all over the bed, carpet and upholstery. I feel sorry for whoever had to clean it up."
Court continues to be a total bad-ass and I have no doubt that this behavior will continue for years to come. Prepare yourselves for one of hell of a senior center party in about 30 years or so.
Britney Spears is slipping.
I was so on the Britney comeback train, ready to borrow my BFF's "Save Britney" T-shirt (yes, she really has one), and head to the closest computer to download her new track. But I fear that another major meltdown of the head-shaving proportion might just take place first.
Page Six is reporting that Brit has had quite the upsetting run of bad luck, again, this past week. Hot on the heels of the rift with her mom, Lynne Spears, Britney has dropped her loyal slave, I mean, her loyal companion, cousin Alli. Good thing she's got the new bodyguard boyfriend to hold one of her kids!
Even worse, Children's Protective Services had to go to Brit's Malibu pad three times last week, warning the mom of two that her house was deemed unsafe because there was no gate around her pool. Instead of just getting someone to put one up, Brit moved to the Four Seasons Hotel, where Tuesday night she was spotted crying.
The whole pool thing is not going to bode well for Brit, as ex-hubby Kevin Federline is threatening to take Sean Preston and Jayden James away from their mom for good.
Hurry up and get it together, Brit. And please, please stay away from any electric razors.
We just assumed that Drew Barrymore's fling with director Spike Jonze was dunzo, when the cutie actress was seen making out with Scrubs' Zach Braff a few weeks ago.
Silly us! Drew's not settling for one man -- girl is playing the field!
PEOPLE spotted Drew and Spike doing some of their own lovin', at a Klaxon's concert, just the other night. But just two weeks prior, Drew was walking, all cuddled up, through the streets of NYC with Zach.
It's kind of like that big wheel at the carnival -- round and round she goes, where she'll stop nobody knows.

Charlie and Mrs. Sheen-to-be, Brooke Mueller, took a quick trip to Costa Rica for a little R&R, when the actor presented her with, what he called, a "Welcome to Costa Rica" gift. Out came a bling watch, with this engraved on the back:
"B. - Wanna get married? . . . Love - C."
Awwww! That's sweet -- but it gets better.
A shocked Brooke was completely caught off guard by the proposal, but almost lost her mind when good 'ol Charlie whipped out a radiant cut, 11-carat, natural yellow diamond set in a platinum ring. Yowza!
"Once I put the ring on her finger," says Charlie, "you've never seen two happier people in your life."
I bet. Friends of the couple say the giddy lovebirds will be walking down the aisle soon.
Ah, young love.

Also on the cover, Britney Spears' new mystery man is revealed to be her bodyguard Damon, who, the mag says, she is, in fact, dating. That's all I'll say on that for now, in fear that the relationship will be over before I finish typing this sentence.

Denise Richards must be listening to some self-help tapes. Can't you just see her staring into a mirror, repeating over and over again, "I will only say positive things about the men that have made me look like a fool."
Denise gave a cheery statement to PEOPLE about ex-hubby Charlie Sheen's latest engagement, to actress Brooke Mueller. "I am genuinely happy for the two of them," she told the mag. "In fact, I sent them flowers to congratulate them both. I've spent time with her, and my girls really like her. That's all that matters to me."
I'm impressed, very mature.
And as for reports that Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora dumped her because she was pressuring him to get engaged, "That is 100 percent completely false," she says. "There were a lot of rumors about our relationship from day one and we broke up for many reasons. Richie is a great guy and an amazing father. I really wish him well."
You know, I almost believe her.

The British invasion is coming and, after seeing these scorching photos of soccer star David Beckham and his wife Whatshername (I kid, Poshy) in the new issue of W, I say, "Bring it on, baby!"

I know I probably said that I was done talking about Rosie O'Donnell and her many celebrity death matches, but girl just won't give it a rest.
In Ro's defense, her latest dig at her former View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck , however obvious, was spot on. According to Us Weekly, Rosie dissed Lis' experience on her Gay Family Cruise, saying, "“Her only f--king credit was Survivor. Come on!”
Honestly, isn't that what most of us had been thinking?
On the Trump front, a witness from Rosie's Cruise de Feud reports,"Rosie said she’d love to break into his apartment and rub her belly all over him.”
The Donald responded to Ro via Access Hollywood. “Wow! That’s very sexy, it’s a very sexy thought,” he sarcastically said to the show. “A little bit flirty, but that’s ok. It’s very nice and I know she meant that well.”
'Scuse me while I try to keep my coffee down.
I'm liking the dark side of Nick Lachey.
Vanessa Minnillo's honey was doing tons of press for his new baseball team yesterday, when the strangest thing happened. Nick was chatting about his MLB endeavor with FOX 5's Good Day New York, when anchor Ron Corning took a chance and asked Nick about the X-rated photos of him and Van. Before Ron even had a chance to finish the question, Nick's feed went out and poof, just like that, he was gone.
"There you go, that's how they're responding!" the anchor laughed.
Coincidence? I think not. But, of course, Nick's rep said, "We did over 25 interviews about MasterCard and the All-Star game this morning and WNYW was the only one that happened with."
I think this just makes Nick, who tends to lean to the vanilla side most of the time, that much hotter.
That's what Star rag is advertising in their next issue.
The tabloid says that one of Lindsay Lohan's "friends" gave them access to LiLo's private MySpace postings, while she was in rehab. The troubled star used the website to stay in touch with over 75 of her peeps while she was getting better in Promises, and now one of them has sold her out.
Messages Lindsay allegedly sent to her openly gay pal Samantha Ronson paint a pretty intense picture of their relationship:
Linds to Sam: "Babe, if I don't have you in my life then I should just go die. ... I want to marry you and have children with you. Go to bed babe, I love you. - Lindsay Ronson."I'm not sure what to think, but Lindsay should definitely look into friend rehab, if the ones she has now are airing such personal business to the tabs.
Pop sensation Fergie continues to hurt my feelings.
I've told you in the past how much I love her HOT boyfriend, Josh Duhamel, who now is now starring in the top movie in the country, Transformers. Well, now the sizzling couple is just rubbing salt in my wounds.
Josh tells next month's Glamour that he's just installed a stripper pole in the new house that he shares with Fergs, so she can dance for him. "Fergie is taking lessons, but she won't get on it until she knows what she's doing, 'cause she doesn't want to look stupid," he said.
Right. I'm sure she'd look stupid, naked with her ridiculous body, writhing around that thing.
Just stop.
Clutch your pearls, blabber-ers! Britney Spears has got a new boy toy.
But who is the mystery man that was recently seen taking a dip in Britney's pond? Don't know, but the same guy has been caught driving Brit around in her black Mercedes and, on Sunday, accompanied the pop tart to church. Mr. X carried little Sean Preston into the house of worship, while Brit toted baby Jayden.
There's tons of speculation on this dude's actual identity. Is he Britney's bodyguard? Is he her chauffer? Is he the next future Mr. Spears? All possibilities. I'm sure we'll finding out pretty soon, once he sells his story to the tabloids.

According to reports, the Material Girl insisted that all reporters must maintain eye contact with her at all times. The media was warned, “Never look down to check notes — all questions must be memorized or the interview will be terminated.”
Yeesh! “We thought her people were just joking,” a source told the London Mirror. “But it soon became apparent that they were deadly serious.”
There was also a list of topics that were prohibited from the interview. Madge was not to be asked any questions about her marriage to Guy Ritchie, about their adoption of David, their Malawian child, or about her religion, Kabbalah.
I guess deeming topics "off limits" is the wave of the future for celebs, but keeping eye contact through the entire interview? I'd be a goner -- I've never won a staring contest in my life.

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.

Uh-Oh, Uh-Oh, Uh-oh
Two fans at Beyonce's St. Louis concert Sunday night were rushed to the emergency room after stray fireworks from the concert's opening mistakenly spilled over into the front row (you can check out the spectacle here).
Ever the class act, Beyonce made a post-performance visit to the hurt concert-goers, who only sustained minor injuries. A nurse at the hospital said that B stayed for 45 minutes and was lovely.
I hope Beyonce wowed the ER with some booty-shakin' moves. Those hurt fans did pay to see a show.

According to the Daily News, Teri opted for a Badgley Mischka ensemble that mirrored what Eva's attendants were wearing. She then raised some eyebrows when she decided not to use the private walkway to the church, set up so guests could avoid the crowds of fans outside, and took daughter Emerson for a stroll through media circus and waved to the paparazzi.
"It was so strange! Everyone else was so excited to be going into the church for the wedding, and all of a sudden, Teri broke away from the group to make sure she was seen and photographed," one guest blabbed.
The buzz is that Teri is pretty much an outsider on the set of the catty drama. "All the other girls are very close friends and hang out in each others' trailers and even at their homes," said an on-set source. "But Teri never joins in the fun and chat sessions and often runs late for scenes, and causes awkwardness on set."
Once again, Hollywood = High School.

We all had a good laugh when Paris Hilton told Larry King that she never touched a drug in her life, but if the just-sprung heiress would like to keep up those appearances, she really needs to figure something out.
In Page Six this morning, a witness says they caught Paris blowing smoke of another kind, outside L.A.'s trendy Teddy's. After stepping out of an herby aroma-filled SUV, Paris "took a huge puff off of a joint, then opened the door and exhaled the pot smoke basically in my face," one witness told the paper.
But it was probably just those clove cigarettes, right?
Let me just say this, I am not one to fight. I can be easily intimidated by a fly and would probably lose in a boxing match against Emmanuel Lewis. That being said, I'm pretty sure I could take Clay Aiken. And I definitely would throw the first punch if the dude invaded my personal space, like he did to a lady on a airplane over the weekend.
It seems Clay had his foot on his neighbor's armrest during the Continental flight to Tulsa. The woman allegedly gave Clay a "minor shove" to remind him of his manners, which resulted in a little scuffle that the flight crew had to resolve!
Who does he think he is?
Clay's just lucky I wasn't sitting next to him --- if I had Mr. American Idol Runner Up's foot in my face, he'd only be singing the high notes from now on.

Dear Sienna,
You are known for making notoriously bad choices but, I beg you, please stop taking grooming advice from Sesame Street's Bert. You look like a freak.
Your friend,
Tracy
Things seem about to boil over for celebrity chef Rachael Ray and her kinky hubby, John Cusimano.
Rumors have been swirling for a while that the couple is having trouble, and though Rach's rep continues to deny any problems, Page Six is reporting that Rachael and John are "going through a messy breakup." A source close to the couple says that Rachael is leaning on her family for support. "Her mother is in town from Lake George to help Rachael find an apartment," they blabbed.
Is there another man waiting in the wings for the 30-Minute Meal cook? Perhaps. Set side sources are buzzing that Rachael "has been flirting" with Colby Donaldson, of Survivor fame, who joined the Rachael Ray show as a recurring celebrity contributor.
My own source says that Rachael is a crazy workaholic, and that fame is her real husband, so I wouldn't be surprised if Rach just goes it alone for a while.

I never thought much about Father-of-Nicole Richie's-baby, Joel Madden. To me he was just a heavily-tattooed, Good Charlotte rocker, who I could take or leave. But now I think I might be falling a little in love with him.
Sources say that Joel confronted Spencer Pratt (you know, Heidi from The Hills' insanely obnoxious boyfriend or fiance or whatever), for dissing his girl. The rocker allegedly stormed over to Spence's table, where he was eating with Heidi "Look at My New Ta Tas" Montag and screamed, "you've been talking s**t about my girl!" Witnesses say their was a physical altercation and the boys had had to be separated and removed. 
Spencer told In Touch that the fight was all a big mix up. "It all stems from an interview in Details ages ago where I was misquoted, calling Nicole a skinny bitch. It's all a misunderstanding. I've always thought she's a really nice girl and I wouldn't call her that."
And just like his Heidi's boobs, Spencer's nose grew to double its size.

Well, new details are emerging about the breakup -- portraying Denise as having been completely blind sided by the dumping. Apparently, the former Mrs. Charlie Sheen thought Heather Locklear's ex was planning on proposing to her during a trip to Hawaii. Instead, Richie said "Aloha" to their relationship and broke Denise's heart.
"She was devastated," a source told the Daily News, "and kept up appearances as if they were still together."
She even gushed about their then-over relationship to Glamour in their June issue. "Recently we went to Hawaii and people came up to us and said, 'We're so happy for the two of you,'" she told the mag."So people are starting to accept the relationship, realizing it's not just a fling."
I'm thinking Denise took a side trip to Egypt, on her way home from Hawaii, and visited that famous river --- Da Nile.
I wonder if Eva Longoria is going to hyphenate? Eva Longoria-Parker. I like it.
The tiny actress and her San Antonio Spurs man, Tony Parker, officially tied the knot today in Paris.
"They are married. They were married here by the Mayor of Paris, Monsieur Bertrand Delanoë," a spokesperson for the 4th Arrondissement district confirms. The Mayor himself told PEOPLE of the couple he'd just married, "Their international reputations cannot escape me – but for me they are just Eva and Tony – two young people, very appealing, who love each other and who are at a very important moment in their life."
A crowd of about 1,000 people formed outside city hall, as fans wished the couple their congratulations. Eva, who had previously said she wanted to wear many dresses on her big day, donned a white tulle and sequin embroidered dress and tulle jacket by Chanel haute couture for the civil ceremony.
Stay tuned for details on the church wedding and reception, scheduled to take place on Saturday.
