you didnt hear it from me {20}

you didnt hear it from me…by nikkib    issue no. 20 on popbytes this week i was planning on telling you all that i’m starting to have second thoughts about jho. i was starting to feel sorry for her…married to that troll, marc anthony. she looked absolutely miserable on oprah. her make-up is horrific since firing scott barnes. but then my friend, ellie, sent me this great review of jen’s new movie, ‘shall we dance?’ and i figured we should�have one more week of jho-bashing. the headline read, ‘shall we barf?’ ha ha ha ha!!

thanks, jack! what is jack nicholson’s beef with alec baldwin? nicholson was dining with a male pal at da silvano thursday night, when baldwin, at a table nearby, tried to say hello. ‘alec walked over to jack’s table with his date and stood there for like five minutes,’ said our spy. ‘he tried to say hello, but jack ignored him. finally alec put his hand out in front of jack to shake hands and jack looked at him, put his hands up and said, ‘sorry. can’t shake. got grease all over my hands,’ and went back to talking to his friend. it was really embarrassing.’ – {pagesix.com}

as much as i want to believe this about paris because i’m sooo sick of her, i have a hard time believing anything oily bo-hunk, brandon davis, says. hollywood oil heir brandon davis just poured gasoline on the paris hilton n-word furor, claiming that hilton regularly uses the racial slur as well as slurs against other minorities. davis, an old friend of hilton who had a falling out with her this year, came forward after it was reported that hilton used the n-word in a scene caught on videotape. hilton later issued a statement saying, ‘anyone who knows me knows that this is not me. i love everybody and am not a person who discriminates against anyone � ever.’ but davis tells this week’s national enquirer: ‘not true. she was forever using the ‘n-word.’ i told her not to use it. it was offensive. but she just laughed. she is a racist, plus an idiot. every black person she referred to was a ‘n- – - – -.’ ‘ davis, the grandson of recently deceased oil billionaire and movie mogul marvin davis and boyfriend of ‘o.c.’ starlet mischa barton, continued, ‘she uses the word all the time, and i’ve known her all of her life. it’s ‘n- – - – - this’ and ‘n- – - – - that.’ she’s a disgrace. she is a racist! ‘she puts down jews and other minorities, too. and i’m jewish. i found it depressing . . . i finally had enough of her attitude six months ago, and i finished with her. i don’t want anything to do with her. i don’t need anything from her. she is no longer my friend. she’s just not a nice person.’ davis said that he never heard hilton use racist language around her best friend and ‘simple life’ co-star nicole richie, who is black. ‘i know nicole,’ davis said. ‘she is a very good person.’ hilton’s publicist said the hotel heiress was on a plane yesterday and could not be reached. we also left a detailed message for richie’s rep to see if nicole wanted to defend her friend against davis’ charges, but we didn’t hear back. – {pagesix.com}

oh my god, i’m so surprised. nicky hilton’s marriage to money manager todd meister appears to be in trouble already – less than two months after their shock las vegas wedding. the 21-year-old socialite and 33-year-old meister tied the knot in the nevada city’s las vegas wedding chapel in the early hours of august 15 after an 18-month courtship. according to us weekly, the couple are living on opposite sides of america and ‘working on an annulment,’ before they even hit their two-month wedding anniversary, because nicky believes at her young age ‘it’s just not a good time to be a wife.’ a spokesman for the family says, ‘as far as i can determine, the reports are speculative, and i make it a practice not to comment on speculation or rumor.’ however, us weekly editor in chief janice min maintains the
report is ‘beyond solid.’ – {the daily dish, sfgate.com}

please say this isn’t so! athough, i have to admit that while rick salomon is super gross – i do think he’s kinda hot. wow, is kirsten dunst in a downward spiral. she’s gone from a romance with heartthrob and all-around nice guy jake gyllenhaal to hanging out with paris hilton’s sexcapades partner, rick salomon. according to an us weekly source, ‘now that she’s not with jake, [dunst is] enjoying her wild side.’ so when salomon and dunst were spotted last week at the l.a nightclubs guy’s and shelter, pals started to wonder. ‘she’s a cool chick,’ says salomon, ‘but we’re just friends.’ – {pagesix.com}

someone better call the wah-bulance for michael vartan! i’m told by alias sources that the chair setup has always been pretty much the same. everybody has one of those fab director’s chairs with their name on it (hooray for modern-day hollywood!), and they’re all together in a row-standard stuff. this, i’m told, is no longer the case. last week, mr. vartan’s seat was moved far, far away-like 25-30 yards-and around the corner. he’s in a hallway, all by himself. oh, okay, they tossed in a minion to accompany him to siberia, too kind. jen, natch, stayed put. whether this seating switcheroo was at vartan’s request (or hers), i do not know. ‘i just checked,’ a helpful alias exec type informed me. ‘and michael’s chair is a little distance from the others, but it’s insignificant.’ oh, really? a rep for vartan had this to say: ‘i’m not aware of any chairs being moved.’ so, gosh, shall we guess who’ll get killed off at the end in a grisly fashion? now, i should tell you that certain alias vets are starting to wonder if everyone’s getting killed off sooner than later. still, many sources are agreed on this: ‘vartan’s head is definitely on the block,’ pooped a single, solitary insider who regularly inhales vartan’s secondhand smoke. oops! i did it again-gave away something i wasn’t supposed to! that’s right. mr. v. has been hittin’ the death sticks again. i can hardly find fault, as i used to smoke three packs a day. hopefully, he’ll see what a damn hunk he is and stop killin’ himself-soon. but i ain’t his ma. i wonder if the return o’ the bad habit has something to do with j.g. being a health nut ‘n’ all? you know ms. g. goes mental over smoking, doncha? sure mikey just forgot about that little personal no-nic rule, doncha agree? garner’s reaction? ‘smoldering,’ sniffs a prime alias source. – {the awful truth, eonline.com}
