you didnt hear it from me {11}
 | you didnt hear it from me…by nikkib issue no. 11 on popbytes Hey ya’ll! I’m having such a great summer. Not only has it been a good gossip season, but did you see Fox’s Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy It was seriously priceless. I missed Amish in the City on Wednesday, but you can bet I’ll watch it next week. I’ve been hooked on the Democratic Convention all week and my husband hasn’t hooked up our TiVo yet – so I’ve missed all the good shows! I’ve missed nip/tuck 2 weeks in a row! Will someone please tell me what happened?! So, in case you needed proof that the world has gone crazy, Target is now selling Kabbalah Red String bracelets. (update – target is no longer selling em!) I think this definitely puts the Kabbalists ahead of the Scientologists. |
I predicted this weeks ago!
Ben Affleck has been romantically linked to
his ‘Daredevil’ co-star Jennifer Garner. Affleck, who was reportedly
dating TV executive Enza Sambataro after his split from ‘Gigli’ co-star
Jennifer Lopez, is now at the center of media claims he and Garner have
been enjoying romantic outings in Canada. Garner – rumored to have
recently split from her ‘Alias’ co-star Michael Vartan, who’s currently
making the movie ‘Monster-in-Law’ with J.Lo – is staying at a rented
private home in Vancouver, Canada as she makes her ‘Daredevil’ spin-off
Elektra. And while Affleck has mostly been in Los Angeles, sources tell
America’s Star magazine he’s made at least one three-hour flight to the
Canadian city to visit Garner. A source says, ‘(They were spotted in)
downtown Vancouver kissing and holding hands. They were also seen
kissing and hanging out in between set-ups at her trailer.’
Representatives for both stars deny there is any romance. – {imdb.com}
Can’t you just imagine JHo’s mom (who, for some reason I picture looking
just like Lupe Ontiveros) sitting at a blackjack table bitching about
Marc Anthony? Jennifer Lopez‘s mother Guadalupe reportedly prefers her
daughter’s ex- fiance Ben Affleck to her new son-in-law Marc Anthony.
Former teacher Guadalupe has always supported J.Lo’s many marriages and
engagements, but told casino punters she missed Affleck’s companionship
as a fellow gambler at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey
on Friday. According to American gossip site Pagesix.Com, Guadalupe
dined at the Old Homestead restaurant following her gambling spree and
told staff she loved to bet alongside poker fanatic Affleck – who ended
his engagement with Lopez in January. A restaurant employee says,
‘Guadalupe said she doesn’t like Marc Anthony and said she far preferred
Ben Affleck.’ – {imdb.com}
I don’t have anything funny to say about this. I love Donatella!
Diva designer Donatella Versace is in rehab for cocaine addiction. The
perpetually tanned queen of the fashion world recently quietly checked
into a center for the drug-plagued at an undisclosed location, a top
industry source told Page Six. Friends said the 49-year-old designer of
the family’s famed clothing line has been privately battling a drug
problem for years. A Versace family spokesman confirmed the designer has
now been relegated to rehab, adding: ‘The family views this as a private
matter. We hope the press will respect this as such.’ The blond-maned
designer had failed to do her usual couture show in Paris for the first
time this year, setting tongues wagging that drugs may have already
gotten the best of her. But the family rep denied the couture no-show
was because of Versace’s drug woes. He said it was simply a company
business decision. – {PageSix.com}
Ok, ok this story is funny, but I can’t see Nicole Kidman talking about it like this. Can you?
Troubled superstar Michael Jackson begged Hollywood superstar Nicole
Kidman to be his date at the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards – but she
politely declined. The singer, 44 – who is facing trial on child
molestation charges – got his people to call single Kidman to arrange
for the Oscar-winning beauty, 37, to accompany him to the annual music
event. But he was left red-faced when she snubbed his advances. Kidman
explains, ‘There was a call from his people to mine asking if he could
take me to the Awards. ‘I had never even met him, it was a little
strange. Kidman, whose romance with rocker Lenny Kravitz ended earlier
this year, admits she doesn’t feel tempted to start a relationship with
Jackson. She adds, ‘I did decline but, hey, the way my love life is I
took it as a great compliment. ‘I keep thinking of those photographs of
Michael in a shocking wig at Disneyland looking ridiculous. ‘So call me
crazy but it just didn’t tempt me to want to accept.’ – {The Daily Dish, SFGate.com}
I can’t do better than one Gawker.com came up with: Kimora Lee: Asian Woman Arrested For Driving While Black
In today’s Rush & Molloy, the gossipers try to explicate the arrest of
designer Kimora Lee Simmons this weekend. Kimora was handcuffed, booked,
and charged on Sunday night in New Jersey: the charges were reckless
driving and ‘possessing marijuana.’ Yow! Supermodel busted with dope! Or
is it? This is ‘another example of a prominent member of the hip-hop
community being made an example of.’ said Stacey Richman, her lawyer.
Uh…Then her husband, mogul Russell Simmons, invokes racial profiling:
‘I just want to be treated fairly.’ Am I losing my mind here? Did cops
just pull over one of the richest Asian women in New Jersey, and the PR
and legal defense is that she got pulled over because she’s culturally
black? – {Gawker.com}
Lindsay and Hilary maybe?
It seems to start snowing inside nightclub bathrooms whenever a teen
queen steps inside to ‘powder her nose’ these days. Our spys at Avalon
in L.A. say that one very famous underage starlet, who regularly gets
soused at party promoter Brent Bolthouse’s Friday night celebfest, was
snorting disco dust in the bathroom before she was cut off from ordering
any more drinks from the club’s staff. Meanwhile, here in New York,
another teen star this one with a squeaky-clean image was doing her
best anteater impression inside the bathroom at P.M. – {PageSix.com}
Ugh, poor Tara Reid. What a joke.
Tara Reid was well on her way to transforming herself into a Paris
Hilton clone, but she’s been ordered to rein it in by her unhappy
management. Reid, who recently had breast implants, also had $2,500 hair
extensions put in and dyed her hair white-blond at Vered, the same L.A.
salon Hilton frequents. But apparently her agent didn’t like the results
and last Wednesday marched her back to the salon to have her hair dyed a
more natural blond. – {Elisa Lipsky-Karasz, NYPost.com}
Tell me who this is!!!
Could it be that a certain newbie nighttime star has a secret? Not for
long, if some smarmy producers have their way. Picture it a hot boy
out at a drunken party in New Orleans over a year ago (when he was a
nobody) allowed someone to videotape him ‘pleasuring’ himself. Nothing
unusual there. Except now he’s got that big network gig, and the
footage has made its way to the producers of ‘Guys Gone Wild,’ the male
companion to that successful series of tittie videos! What to do, what
to do? – {Filth, Filth2go.com}
Ew. And OW!
More on Marlon Brando‘s circumcision at age 60, which we reported on
last week. ‘It’s 100 percent true,’ a reader e-mailed us. ‘My mother
worked in surgery at St. John’s Hospital at the time and was there for
it.’ St. John’s in Santa Monica was the hospital to the stars for
decades until it was eclipsed by Cedars Sinai. ‘My mother worked there
for 40 years, and boy, did she have some scary stories to tell about the
terrible acne scars on Richard Burton‘s back!!’ As for Brando? Our
correspondent denies the star converted to Judaism it is inconceivable
he could have learned Hebrew since he had so much trouble remembering
his lines in English. Our tipster divulges: ‘It seems the surgery was
necessary for medical reasons an infected gunky mess.’ – {PageSix.com}
Do you think there’s a violin following ol’ Jake Gyllenhaal around these days?
Kirsten Dunst broke Jake Gyllenhaal‘s heart when she broke up with him,
pals of the heartthrob actor said. ‘Kirsten at first told Jake she just
wanted a trial separation,’ one friend said. ‘She’s making some serious
money thanks to ‘Spider-Man 2,’ and she’s reached a level of success she
never had before and she said she wanted to try doing it on her own. At
first they had a two-week split, and Jake thought they would get back
together. But once the press started calling and her rep confirmed the
split, he knew it was over and she wasn’t coming back…They come
from very different worlds. Dunst’s rep, Stephen Huvane, and
Gyllenhaal’s rep, Annett Wolff, declined comment. – {PageSix.com}
‘Fruitcake!’ Who says that anymore?!?!
Friends of Nancy Moonves, ex-wife of Viacom co-head Les Moonves, are
concerned. Nancy is said to be so bitter about Les leaving her for CBS
morning show anchor Julie Chen, she won’t even watch CBS anymore and
now she’s insulting others. On Saturday, while shopping at Barneys in
Beverly Hills, Nancy ran into a Hollywood heavyweight who left his own
wife two years ago after he fell in love with a man. The producer was
shopping with his daughter when he ran into Nancy, who approached the
daughter while ignoring him. When the producer told Nancy she was being
rude, Nancy shot back, ‘You’re a fruitcake!’ and walked off. – {PageSix.com}

RYAN SEACREST OVER! :(
 | oh its a sad sad sad day – it was just announced that on-air with ryan seacrest has been cancelled! oh the horror – say it aint so! – no more fun courtyard lunchtime performances – no more cutie ryan down the block – ‘I am proud of my team who worked tirelessly every day,’ Seacrest said in a statement. ‘I wouldn’t have changed anything about this entire experience and I look forward to building my business within Twentieth Television.’ |
so the show will continue to air until sept 17 – but mainly repeats – so i hope there could be a few more scheduled outside performances – oh my mom is going to be upset too – but dont worry or fret – american idol 4 is starting auditions in august – and expect the new season to start in the fall – so everyone will be able to get their ryan fix in – and for those here in los angeles – he will still be on kis-fm in the mornings at 102.7…popbytes out!
MOANDAY UPDATE! {4}

 | ASHLEE SIMPSON Oh you know I hated Jessica – then I loved her – and know I love her kid sister ashlee – her debut album autobiography hit stores Tuesday and its fairly decent – I really like her single ‘pieces of me’ – think avril lavigne lite – and shes due on my boyfriend ryan seacrest’s studio tomorrow – and I almost got a chance to see it with a lucky hookup from cool ass Karen! – but we both have to work (yes popbytes works) and it would extend a bit more than the traditional one hour lunch – courtyard viewings are best – but anyways give a listen to ashlee – quite the opposite of jess – shes just as cute in her own quirky way |
PARIS & NICK Paris and loverboy nick carter (dudes are those backstreet boys ever coming back – does anyone care - I so doubt it – give it a rest fellas – yr like pushing 30 I think?) – im glad that paris broke up with nick – she can do much better – and if she needs to hang out and have fun – popbytes is so game to hang out and have fun – if I was a girl – and had her body (and her money) I would dress exactly like her – she is so hot!

summer fun w/ nikki b!
Hey folks! Here are some summer product recommends courtesy of diva – nikkib – author of the great you didnt hear it from me series – so read on – thanks nikkib – you so rock popbytes!
I was reading ‘Star’ earlier this week and they had a section highlighting products that the stars
use. I love that stuff. Now, anyone who knows me knows I like to recommend new discoveries to my
friends. You might say I like to tell people what to do. Therefore, I feel it is my duty to tell you
guys a few things to do. Below are my summer recommendations. You should try them out.
Get a fake tan! As a former diehard sun
worshipper, I have to tell you that the Neutrogena self tanning foam is fabulous. I get it in ‘extra dark,’ but
you should go with what works for your skin tone. I’ve only had one mishap and it was my own fault.
I forgot to wash my hands after application duh. Here’s what I do: shower, exfoliate, apply tanner
and then apply lotion on top especially in the ‘trouble spots’ like knees, backs of arms, feet,
and elbows.
See this movie! If you haven’t seen ‘The Station Agent’ yet, rent
it today. I had heard good things about it since it came out, but only watched it last night. It’s
the kind of movie that reminds you why you love movies. In fact, as of today, Peter Dinklage is #5 on my ‘Celebrity Boyfriends’ list.
Watch this show! Chapelle’s Show is about
the funniest thing on tv right now. However, I just read an article that says he’s converted to
Islam therefore the episodes running right now might be the funniest the show will ever be. You
better check it out while it’s still good.
Get these skincare products! Elizabeth Arden has
introduced a cheap line of skincare products called Skin Simple . It’s awesome, my skin has never looked better. The
only drawback is that it’s only available at evil, evil WalMart. If you can get over that, you
should check it out.
Listen to this!
If you haven’t heard Loretta Lynn’s new CD, ‘Van
Lear Rose’ you have to listen to it. If you absolutely know that you hate country music, you should
still give it a listen. Loretta Lynn is a goddess and Jack White of the White Stripes produced it.
My husband and I listened to it for the first time on a road trip. By track 11 we both looked at
each other and said, ‘This album fucking rocks!’
Read it! ‘The Book of Joe’ is such a great summer read. I read it in a day. It’s been optioned by Plan B
(Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston’s production company). I think it’ll be a great movie!
Look at boobs! There are a few straight guys who read this column. This one’s for them. Besides, who
doesn’t like to see a nice pair of boobies? Are Britney’s real? Lindsay’s most
certainly are not.
SKANKY BIRTHDAY GAL – J LO!
oh happy day – NOT – its that gal (or whore) 35th birthday tomorrow – and i wanted to one of the
first of the well-wishers – so happy birthday skanky lady – oh it was great to see a montage of her
last few birthdays – p diddy, ben, and now marc and their satan child coming…i wonder if j ho will
ever get back in my good graces – i dont think her next sap flick with richard gere -
shall we dance? will do it – she needs a hit dance track to get us up and shimmying – hands
up ck!
on a semi related note – its been reported that ben affleck is indeed dating jennifer
garner of alias – they met on ‘daredevil’ – and i guess now they are in love – she apparently
broke up with sexy and cute as hell michael vartan – her alias co-star AND on-air romantic
partner – ben has been spotted visiting jennifer on location – and im sure it will all be confirmed
soon enough – so lets see what happens…
but i will muse on how incestuous this all is – lemme tell ya why – jenny lopez is filming
(probably wrapped by now) – monster in-law – and it stars the legendary & brilliant jane
fonda (hello popbytes loves…’barbarella’, ‘agnes of god’, ’9-5′) – this is jane’s comeback
after her awful marriage to creepy ted turner (yeah if i had lots of money i would so want to
make a revisionist film of the civil war – how odd that whole gods & generals thing – mira
sorvino must have been desperate…) jeez im so digressing – the film also stars – yes michael
vartan – so its like – ‘oh that chick that just broke up with you – she is doing the guy i was going
to marry not too long ago’ – maybe these two will bond over love miseries & woes and end up
together – and a warning to jenny garner – ‘girl be careful – yr heading down the same path as the
other jenny – first scott, then michael, and now ben? i like you – so dont fuck it up with yr
hormones’ how odd ‘celeb’ love is! these people must just live on cloud nine – in & out of love with
a snap and a twist! weird!
and quickly – catwoman got such horrible reviews – im devestated – and i can now wait till
the DVD (sorry sirens halle & sharon) – but the new bourne movie with drip matt damon – got
excellent reviews – and the lovely joan allen joins the cast – altho i hated the first bourne flick
with a burning passion – but now with great reviews and joan – im very tempted but next week comes
the village – and i love me some sigourney and adrien brody – and scary movies rules – so
next week im going to the movies – but no worries i will set the tivo – so i can keep up with all
the tv!
i called it – lori left the big brother house – but at least the gal snagged that 10k – best moment
was when twins adria and natalie were revealed to her – she had no clue! and then cutie drew won
head of household so tune into on sat night to see who he puts up for eviction…
one more thing – can i please tell you again – how much i LOVE nip/tuck – ok popbytes out -
much love to all!
