you didnt hear it from me...by nikkib

At the risk of sounding un-American, I have to vent about how much I HATE THE OLYMPICS!!! In fact, I
hate them so much that I've given up the entire NBC family during the dreaded events. NO Today
show, NO Access Hollywood. I'm serious about this.
It's hard to explain why I hate them so much, but I've narrowed it down to two things. First of all,
I really hate anything that screws with 'regular programming' (damn you Emergency Broadcast System
monthly tests!). Secondly, I haaaate the sob stories. I know it goes against everything I normally
stand for to hate these weepy snippets, but I do. I hate them!!!
So, I guess until September it's Netflix, magazines and daydreaming about new celebrity boyfriend
addition, Tom Welling.

You know what I keep telling you about Jared Leto...if he's not gay or bi, he's at least dabbled with boys. A former co-worker of mine was friends with him and his BOYFRIEND in art school.
Jared Leto plays a gay character in
Alexander - and he also did a pretty good job of playing one
during a recent interview. Leto plays Hephaestion, who was a general, confidante and probably the
lover of Alexander the Great - played by
Colin Farrell - in the $100 million
Oliver Stone epic due out
later this year. When Leto met withwriter
Degen Pener for the gay magazine
Out, he surprised Pener
by repeatedly touching his arm and thigh, winking at him, and even flicking his nipple. 'I know I'm
gay,' Leto told Pener. 'I must be gay. I fuck flicked your nipple.' 'He was definitely flirting, but
I'm not under the impression that he's going to be my boyfriend,' Pener told The Scoop. 'I think his
attitude was just, 'I'm doing an interview with a gay magazine, I'm going to have fun with it.'' 'He
was a genuine character,' says Pener. 'I liked him a lot. When I told him that some of his gay fans
would be upset that there aren't any sex scenes between him and Colin, he said, 'If there had been,
it would be the best man-on-man sex you've ever seen.' ' But, says Pener, Leto 'got really quiet'
when asked about his personal life. 'He didn't mention [former, long-time] girlfriend
Cameron Diaz
once and when I asked him who he's dating [he's rumored to be seeing
Scarlett Johansson] he shook
his head and refused to answer.' - {The Scoop,

Hmmm...I'm not sure that this is actually 'evidence' against Cindy. But, what a dick Wesley Snipes is! And you know, 'they say' that he's the one that roughed up Halle Berry years ago.
Porn queen
Jenna Jameson tattles on all the horny celebrities she claims have hit on her in her new book - including
Cindy Crawford.
In
How to Make Love Like a Porn Star (ReganBooks), Jameson recounts her encounter with the supermodel, whom she met while Jameson was doing a guest-hosting stint on the E! channel. 'I kept getting a weird vibe from her,' writes Jameson, an avowed bisexual who's had sex with hundreds of women. 'I knew what it meant, because I'd experienced it so many times before, but I kept dismissing it. It couldn't be true: she was Cindy Crawford, after all.'
The X-rated icon continues: 'When I turned my back...Cindy reached over and rubbed the back of my neck. 'Ooh,' she cooed. 'Look at your beautiful tattoo!'
'She touched my neck so softly and sensually...It was too much. She was so larger than life that I couldn't even imagine running my tongue along that trademark mole of hers. So I excused myself to get a drink.' (Crawford, who once bought a full-page newspaper ad with then-hubby Richard Gere declaring their heterosexuality, has always maintained that she only likes men.)
On another occasion, Jameson had a run-in with
Blade star
Wesley Snipes, whose suave pickup line was, 'Do you like it up the [bleep]?'
'Being a porn star, I was used to such questions,' Jameson writes. 'But Wesley had no idea I was a porn star. Either way, I was offended. I looked at him blankly, stood up, and walked away. That was the first and last time I ever saw him.'
Bruce Willis fared only slightly better. At a party once, 'He didn't say a word,' Jameson recalls, 'He [just] pushed me up against the wall and kissed me. After 30 seconds of passionate tongueing, he just walked away without a word.'
As Jameson was leaving the bash, she writes, 'A bodyguard walked up to me and said, 'Mr. Willis is waiting in his limousine.' 'He's going to be waiting a long time,' I responded. There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and he had crossed it.'
Elsewhere in the book, co-written by former Times music critic Neil Strauss, Jameson recounts her sex sessions with the 'massively endowed' Marilyn Manson and her encounters with Nicolas Cage who smelled like 'the distilled sweat of homeless people.' - {

Am I the only one who's totally transfixed by this Andy Dick meltdown?
Move over,
Courtney Love. Step aside,
Tara Reid.
Andy Dick may have captured the crown of celebrity
dom's reigning party monster.
Howard Stern shared a juicy anecdote about Dick while reading our
story yesterday about Dick's vodka- fueled rampage at nightspots Suede and Plan B, where the kooky
comic tried to stick his tongue down the throats of several men and women, slapped others and burst
into tears over the death of his 'best friend'
Rick James. Stern reported that Dick, a frequent
guest, once got decked by
Wesley Snipes after the bisexual funny man propositioned Snipes. And we've
learned that the same fate befell Dick after he did a stand-up comedy show at Washington University
in St. Louis several months ago. After being ejected from an alumni dinner for smoking pot in the
basement, Dick crashed a Sigma Epsilon frat party and was punched out after he grabbed a frat
brother's crotch, reports The Post's
Susannah Cahalan. Dick was kicked out and caught a ride home
from a kindly couple, whom he invited to his hotel for a threesome. They declined. - {

Ok, one more Dick mention. Does anyone watch 'The Surreal Life' on VH1? Did
you see the ep where Andy Dick comes to the mansion and almost hooks up with Trishelle from The Real
World: Las Vegas? Maybe they should get together...?
Andy Dick kicked off his debauched week in New York by throwing up on a hapless partier at Butter on
Monday night. Dick, there for a party rapper
Lil Jon threw to launch his energy drink Crunk, was
downstairs with party staples
Sean Lennon,
Devon Aoki and
Chloe Sevigny when he lost control. A
music magazine editor had the misfortune of sitting alone at a table when Dick and his assistant
decided to join her. The wayward comic took one sip of his drink before ducking his head under the
table to hurl. 'It came out like a rope!' he proudly announced to the editor, whose $200 jeans he
ruined. Then, suddenly embarrassed, he whispered, 'Did anyone see me?' before staggering off to the
bathroom. - {Elisa Lipsky-Karasz,

Ewwww...Jean Claude Van Damme?!?!
It's no wonder
Naomi Campbell's maid snapped this week - from the sounds of it, the supermodel's demands on her staff would drive anyone crazy.
Her personal assistants suffer through duties including:
• Flying across the border to Canada to personally pick up the model's hair weave from its manufacturers, then bringing the precious wig back as a carry on.
• Making sure the model doesn't run around naked. One year in Paris, her poor assistant had to drag Campbell into a hotel room after Campbell ran through hotel halls nude following a tryst with Jean Claude Van Damme.
• Acting as her personal valet. Campbell makes her assistants pack and carry all of her luggage.
• Keeping her company at all times. Campbell has a fear of being left alone - and little need
for sleep - and expects her assistant to be available at all hours.
Meanwhile, the embattled
Campbell last week hired Jennifer Lopez's former crisis manager Rob Shuter at Dan Klores Associates
to handle her latest PR disaster. - {Elisa Lipsky-Karasz,

Did you read where Jake supposedly had a date with Jennifer 'Love' Hewitt?! Gross.
Breaking up is hard to do - just ask
Jake Gyllenhaal and
Kirsten Dunst. Although Gyllenhaal recently
went on a date with perennially unlucky-in-love
Jennifer Love Hewitt, he was spotted last week
grocery shopping with Dunst at a Whole Foods market. 'They seemed very much the couple, laughing,
smiling and chatting away with a checkout girl,' said our witness. - {

I read that Michael Vartan and Neve Campbell may be hooking up. Whatever happened to her, anyway??
Jennifer Garner has confirmed rumors she's split from her
Alias castmate
Michael Vartan.
The brunette beauty - who has recently been linked to her
Daredevil co-star
Ben Affleck - finally spoke about the tabloid reports after two months of speculation on their coupling.
Garner began dating Vartan last year after she split from husband
Scott Foley.
Last month Vartan refused to acknowledge he was no longer dating Garner to Us Weekly magazine, saying, 'I'm not going to confirm if Jennifer and I are still together.'
However during promotional activities from
13 Going on 30 in Australia, Garner told Fox radio station she was young, free and single once again.
She says, 'I am single. I am single and boring and home on Saturday night all by myself.' - {The Daily Dish,

I could do the 'white girl' dance with Tara and Paris!
We found ourselves at Ghost Bar late Friday the 13th and early Saturday morning.
The highlight of the night? Watching
Paris Hilton and
Tara Reid party like rock stars and dance like, well...white girls.
One dude, who was also watching these tarts perform turned to us and said,
'Man, isn't it amazing they have all that money, but they still can't dance'.
Despite being discombopulated, Paris and Tara looked hot, were guarded by Maloof's goons, and for the most part seemed to be drinking, dancing, and talking on their cell phones. (How could they possibly hear anything, it was so loud in there).
Every once in a while the blonde bombshells would leave their stash of Belvedere to run out into the crowd of 'regular folks' and bring a stray back into their lair. Maybe that was the point of all the cell phone chatter?
Rumor is
Nicole Richie was with them, but we didn't spend any time looking for her. - {

Seriously, who does Thandie Newton think she is???
I'm obsessing over the interview with
Thandie Newton in the latest issue of
Trace magazine. First of
all (you'll have to imagine the snaps), she doesn't even want an Oscar, okay? 'The Oscars mean
nothing to me now,' she says. 'After
Beloved, I realized that a lot of people in the Academy just
don't get to watch a lot of the movies that come out.' Newton, who left icicles on my notepad after
my own brief encounter with her, addresses rumors that she's perceived by African-Americans as being
cold. 'It might be because I'm English and educated.' Brrr! 'It may also be the accent and the very
cool sophistication people see in me.' Double brrr! She concludes, 'Emotionally I'm a chameleon, and
when I'm presenting myself in a formal way, it may seem rehearsed. I guess I carry some of my mum's
spirit with me, and perhaps African-American audiences can sense that bottomless African sadness in
me.' - {Gatecrasher,

I keep waiting for Michael Pitt to do something big. Don't know who he is? Click here!
Once a movie shoot ends, so do many on-set affairs. So it's impressive that the fling between
Michael Pitt and
Asia Argento lasted through two movie shoots - Argento's adaptation of novelist
J.T. Leroy's
The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things and
Gus Van Sant's rock drama,
Last Days.
Pitt, the Leo DiCaprio look-alike who recently starred in
Bernardo Bertolucci's steamy
The
Dreamers, flipped for Argento on the 'Heart' set and their romance continued during 'Last Days,' in
which they co-star. But we hear that Italian sexpot Asia recently called things off. 'Michael is
pretty upset,' says our spy. - {
