Hi there,
I wanted to let you guys know that after two and a half great years of providing your gossip fix, I've decided to retire my newsletter. It's something I've been considering for awhile now, but my decision became easier to make after finding out that I'm pregnant with baby #2.
However, because I don't want to leave you hanging, I'm going to let you in on some of my favorite sources. First off, I begin every morning by going to PageSix.com. It's a gossip's Bible. |
Next I cruise over to IMDB.com and then check out Jeanette Wall's 'The Scoop' on msnbc.com. Altho, if you ask me, ol' Jeanette must be on the bankroll of most of the publicists and studios because her 'gossip' is oh so politically correct.
On Monday you have to check out Billy Master's hilarious column on Filth2Go.com. And on Thursdays go to E! Online for 'The Awful Truth' with Ted Casablancas. However, be warned that Ted's dish has gotten a little confusing (too many tongue twisters and what I believe he must think of as witty repartee), self-serving and bland in the past couple of years.
Get yourself a subscription to one of the weekly rags - In Touch, Star, US Weekly. But for the love of God, don't waste your money buying more than one. They have all the same stories - just look at their covers on any given week.
Now, just following my rules won't make you a savvy gossip. You have to learn how to filter the bullshit. Anything that comes from a publicist? Bullshit. A star is suffering from 'exhaustion?' Bullshit. In the hospital with dehydration? Maybe, but it ain't just because they haven't been drinking enough water! Addiction to prescription drugs? Yeah, probably - and probably coke or heroin, too. Tom Cruise has a new girlfriend? Right! Learn to filter the bullshit - that's all I've tried to do for you these past couple of years.
I would feel like I'm letting you down if I didn't make a couple of predictions for the coming years. Paris will eventually go away. Pink will come out. Orlando Bloom will continue to kinda creep me out. Demi and Ashton will get hitched. Ben n' Jen really will stay friends - he'll take buddy Matt Damon's lead and date a hot 'regular' girl but Jen will hook up with another actor (although B list). JHo will make a comeback. Ben Affleck won't, but he won't go away either (for which I'm secretly happy).
Thanks to all of you for spreading the word about my little newsletter. This started as a labor of love for my husband and close friend and turned into a list of over one hundred people. I've run on a couple of different websites - DailyGusto.com and popbytes.com. I want to thank Harry and MK for their unwavering support of my goofy columns and encourage you all to visit them.
I may be giving up my newsletter, but I'm forever addicted to celebrity gossip, so please continue to email me new scoop and to dish. It's been really fun meeting you all.
Love, NikkiB
ah the return of a dear popbytes friends - nikkib who pens a really fun column you didnt hear it from me - and graciously allows me to post it to popbytes! - i love her attitude and i know a lot of you do too! so below is quick update from the gal! stay tuned for next week column! - thanks n! you rock! glad yr back to dishing with me/popbytes and all the pop dirt there is to dish...and i hope your all watching american idol...

So, Brad and Jen are kaput. Everyone I know is sad about it, but at the same time I think we at
least knew that it might happen. I always admired the way they kept the media out of their
relationship and I'm sure their break up will be handled with the same dignity. It's so damn
civilized! However, I did hear from a reliable source that it was an open ‘secret' on the set of
'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' that Brad was getting' it on with Angelina Jolie. I just wonder if B & J were
already over when that happened? | |
Let's talk about something that might not be quite as polite. Did you see Sunday's Golden Globes?
Loved ‘em! Did you see my favorite show, 'nip/tuck' win for Best TV Drama? Did you see John Hensley
who plays son, Matt (and who was obviously fucked up on something more than champagne, if ya ask me)
giving Joely Richardson the evil eye? If you remember, a few months ago I told you that they were
seeing eachother. Well, based on Sunday's performance, I would guess that the affair is over and
Johnny-Boy is having a hard time accepting it. As they were all standing in a line up on stage, he
was wobbling and kept staring toward Richardson. After the acceptance speech was over, the camera
flashed to Richardson's sister and brother in law (aka Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson). Neeson
was TOTALLY pissed, and I'm almost positive that I saw him saying to Natasha, 'What the fuck?! Did
you see him?' My husband isn't sure that this is really what happened, but I think it is.
Anyway, I thought everyone looked really nice. Eva Longoria, who is quickly becoming the celeb I
would most like to be friends with, looked really sweet. Teri Hatcher looked awesome. Whether she
had new plastic surgery or the work she had done has finally healed, I thought she looked very
pretty and not as cat-like as she had been looking. Even though I'm not a huge fan, I thought Hilary
Swank looked good. My favorite couple of the night was Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy – so
classy, so cute, so obviously in love. I couldn't decide whether I liked Cate Blanchett's dress or
not, but the truth of the matter is she could wear a paper bag and you would ask yourself, 'Is that
cute? It might be cute…'
Scoop from the night includes (courtesy of Page Six): Did you know that Tobey Maguire was supposed
to introduce 'The Aviator' but backed out because he's too fat?! James King (formerly JAMIE) was
hitting on Zach Braff all night…wonder what Mandy Moore will think about that?
That's all I've got this week, kids. I'll be back next week as usual – with all kinds of scoop
served up with a little sass. See ya then!
PS Scarlett Johannsen looked like crap.

You really haven't heard it from me lately, huh? Sorry I've been MIA, but the holidays have caught
up with me. I've made Christmas throw up in my house and as of this weekend I'm about 95% done with
my shopping.
I've found the most fabulous new foundation! (Sorry for the guys who don't care about this - altho I
suspect a couple of you actually do) It's Vincent Longo Dew Finish and it's so packed full of stuff
that's good for your skin that my skin actually looks better without makeup now, too! It feels
really light going on, but it's got great coverage without feeling heavy or cakey. It FEELS lighter
than a tinted moistuerizer, but I swear it gives better coverage.

Anyway, like you, I'm going to be really busy over the next few weeks. I'll be back in January!
While I'm gone, take a look at this Ofoto album. My husband swears that it has been obviously photo
shopped, but I'm not so sure. Let me know what you think!

Wasn't I just asking you about Portia?! Now we have our answer! And this is just my opinion...but I
don't think this is another Ellen n' Anne situation, as is being hinted here. Just because the media
wasn't talking about Portia's sexuality doesn't mean that she just suddenly turned gay a'la Ms.
Heche.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are shacking up after ditching their longtime lady loves. On
Friday it was reported that DeGeneres had split with her girlfriend of four years,
photographer-director Alexandra Hedison. We're told the real reason for the break is that DeGeneres
is now deeply in love with de Rossi, the Australian-born 'Arrested Development' diva. De Rossi
recently dumped her longtime gal pal, singer-songwriter Francesca Gregorini (Ringo Starr's
stepdaughter) to be with DeGeneres, a source close to the new couple told PAGE SIX's Jared Paul
Stern. The pair are now in DeGeneres' house in the Hollywood Hills which Hedison left a couple weeks
ago. DeGeneres, 46, and de Rossi, 31, first met nine months ago on a photo shoot, we're told. They
fell 'instantly in love,' de Rossi gushed to pals at the time. But DeGeneres remained loyal to
Hedison, whom she often credited with 'saving her life' at a time of crisis. However, when DeGeneres
and de Rossi met up again at VH1's 'Big in '04' awards gala in L.A. on Dec. 1, events took their
natural course. Their respective girlfriends were absent, and this time there was no stopping the
lusty ladies. They managed to find a private spot and 'things got so hot and heavy between them that
they raced to a limo and fooled around for hours,' our source reports. The very next day de Rossi
left Gregorini, saying she was madly in love with DeGeneres, and DeGeneres asked Hedison to move out
of their house, though we're told the pair plan to make it seem they were already single in order to
minimize the fallout. Reps for DeGeneres and de Rossi could not be reached for comment. 'Alexandra
and Francesca are both devastated,' says a source close to the women. 'Neither of them had any idea
what was coming.' There is obviously some bitterness, and while some friends speculate that
DeGeneres and de Rossi were secretly seeing each ever since they first met, others snipe that de
Rossi is out for all the publicity she can get with a new high-profile relationship. 'People who
know Ellen well feel she is going through a midlife crisis, dumping Alexandra for a hot, younger
woman,' says our snitch. 'They predict Ellen will come to her senses and dump Portia to go back to
Alexandra in the near future.' - { pagesix.com}
Nope, I still don't like Scarlett.
It didn't look like anything was 'Lost in Translation' when Derek Jeter chatted up Scarlett
Johansson the other night in Los Angeles. The Yankee captain and the Oscar nominee were tucked into
a booth at Microsoft's holiday party last Thursday at Geisha House, the new Hollywood club owned by
Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Dulé Hill and Wilmer Valderrama. 'I didn't see any kissing,' a
spywitness tells us. 'But they were very close and really flirting.' Later, the pair is said to have
left together. - {Rush & Molloy, NYDailyNews.com}
I love how Page Six doesn't even TRY to make these difficult to guess!
Which young Hollywood couple has an open relationship? The guy 'who has money but no career' likes
to be seen with the actress for the publicity. And she stays with him because he supplies her with
high-grade cocaine. They both cheat on each other but make nice for the cameras. - { pagesix.com}

I thought I would brighten everyone's week by giving you a new list: Celebs I Can't Stand! Isn't that fun?
I thought about this way too hard and therefore probably missed some obvious choices.
As with my celebrity boyfriends list, I'm sure this will be ever-changing.
5 Penelope Cruz
Salma Hayek was here first and besides, she's hotter.
4 Melanie Griffith
Obvious craziness aside, I just can't get over that horrible 'Antonio' tat on her arm.
3 Michael Rappaport
I can't explain it, I've just always hated him.
|
2 Jude Law
Sexiest Man Alive? I knew I hated People Magazine for more reasons than their crappy stories. Jude Law wins Girliest Man Alive for me.
1 Elizabeth Hurley
I don't feel as though I need to explain myself. Suffice it to say that I've hated her since that horrible Versace safety pin dress.
Honorable Mentions:
Renee Zellwegger, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Usher, Celine Dion
Now, just to prove to you all that I'm not all negative, here's a list of my favorite things this week (in no particular order):
• Veronica Mars
• Wendy's single combo (biggie sized with a diet coke, of course)
• Pork Chops as the only entree at a wedding reception (ballsy, go Kate!)
• Mary Kate & Ashley lip gloss
• Cooking meals in my slow cooker
• My Baby Jake

If Lindsay Lohan & Mischa Barton go to rehab do you think they could take Tara Reid for us, too?
Is there anything better than a crazy rumor that we can't confirm? Now this might be the
Glade-and-Sharpie cocktail we just huffed talking, but the plastic pumpkin left over from Halloween
told us a rumor that Mischa Barton and Lindsay Lohan are going on vacation together. No word on
where they're going, but they should be back in 28 days or so. We know! Totally nuts, right? Didn't
Lohan just get back to work on Herbie: Fully Loaded after her hospital stay? Isn't Barton shooting
The O.C.? And what are the odds they'd both take trips at the same time with their crazy schedules?
Never mind. This Sharpie is spent and Mr. Pumpkin is threatening to eat our soul if we don't run out
to the Office Depot for a refill. That crazy devil pun'kin! - { defamer.com}
Oh, Nicole! You naughty, naughty girl! (Said in my most sarcastic voice) I wonder if her PR folks planted stunning admission this to throw us off the trail of the truly disgusting thing she's up to dating Steve Bing. EW!
Nicole Kidman has unveiled a secret 'addiction' - she's a smoker. The Oscar-winning actress admits
she enjoys the occasional cigarette, and she currently has no plans to ditch the habit. She tells
Harper's Bazaar, 'I smoke cigarettes! Occasionally. It's an addiction and I would say to anybody who
was going to start, 'Don't.' But you have to enjoy life a little, don't you? When I see a great
piece of cheese and wonder if it's better to eat it and get cellulite or not eat it, in the end,
I'll probably nibble on the cheese.' - { imdb.com}
I thought and thought about this but couldn't come up with anything. Ok, maybe I didn't think that hard . Who do YOU think it is?
Could it be that a certain sitcom star has seduced his smaller sibling? So say my spies on the set
of that man show who tell me that what started as cute camaraderie quickly turned into sweet savage
sex. When their religious taskmaster suggested the cast spend more time on their knees, I don't
think this is quite what he had in mind. At least they followed his direction to the letter -
grammatically speaking, of course. - { filth2go.com}
Ok, I know the whole 'Tara Reid and Her Weird Boob' thing is old news, but I just LOVED this bit about Carson 'Puffy' Daly.
Tara Reid knows how to make an entrance. Some parts more than others. She turned up at P. Diddy's
35th birthday extravaganza Thursday, comfortably after the cocktail hour. But while posing for
photographers on the red carpet, her left breast decided to get some air. One photographer reports:
'Her top fell down and one breast popped out. Her nipple looked reconstructed. She didn't know it
was hanging out and we were all snapping. Finally, a PR lady fixed her strap.' (The reps were
distracted because, moments before Reid's exposure, designer Betsey Johnson had knocked over one of
the flaming lanterns along the red carpet.) The photographer continued, 'After she pulled her top
back up, Tara had real anger in her face. She came over to us and wanted to see the pictures. She
told us, 'Let me see those. You guys better not use those or else - you're all scum.'' Her former
beau Carson Daly showed up sometime later. 'We were wondering whether we should show him,' said the
snapper. 'But I said, 'He's not going to recognize those breasts anyway.'' - {Gatecrasher, NYDNews.com}
Brigitte Nielsen is like a scary movie she's scares me in a good way .
Brigitte Nielsen seemed to be feeling no pain on a Swedish TV show recently. The great Dane appeared
on a show called 'High Chaparral' and says our source, 'She kept smacking [the hosts], singing, was
drinking [we're not sure what] She kept saying Dig it.'' (The Scoop)
Oh man, I would SO rather Kate & Chris break up.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have reportedly split after a 21-year romance. Friends have revealed
the couple's relationship has 'lost its zip' in recent years and Hawn has moved on to realize her
dream of traveling the world. In recent years, the 59-year-old Buddhist actress has been spending
more and more time in India, where she often meets up with Pakistani cricket legend Imran Khan - a
friendship that has reportedly upset Russell. According to sources on the set of Russell's new movie
Sky High, the actor isn't taking the split well. One tells America's Globe tabloid that the movie
star has been surly on the set, arguing with cast mates Kelly Preston and Lynda Carter. The source
tells the tabloid, 'Kurt seemed totally out of control and, instead of letting up when he saw
Kelly's reaction, he just kept going until she finally burst into tears. - { imdb.com}
I don't really care about Saffron Burrows and Fiona Shaw shacking up, but it got me thinking about Portia di Rossi. Am I the only one who remembers that she was living with Francesca Gregorini back in her Ally McBeal days?!
Is sexy actress Saffron Burrows planning to go public with a
lesbian love affair? The tasty 'Troy' tartlet, 31, is shacking up with 'Harry Potter' actress Fiona
Shaw, 45, reports the London Sun, which says they plan to make an announcement soon. Burrows, who recently moved into
Shaw's North London pad, once told an interviewer, 'I don't think who I sleep with is of any
interest to anyone.' A pal told the paper, 'They've been together for a while but the relationship
has moved up a gear and they want to commit to each other.' Her rep had no comment. - { pagesix.com}
Could this be my BFF Kelly Ripa?
Which stick-thin TV personality who is secretly battling an eating disorder was spotted at Star
Jones' wedding salivating over the sumptuous dessert buffet at the Waldorf-Astoria? She allowed
herself to taste one canapé and that was it. - { pagesix.com}
Not to give Star REYNOLDS (puh-leeze) more space than she deserves, but here's another awkward event ol' Al threw before the wedding. And did anyone see his groomsmen? I haven't seen that many gay men since I went to see Margaret Cho in San Francisco.
Naysayers abound, but we'll bet Star Jones' marriage to Al Reynolds lasts at least two years. That's
because Jones got Reynolds to sign a prenup stating that if the unholy alliance goes south before
the two-year watermark, Reynolds gets nothing. Jones and Reynolds partied until the wee hours Sunday
morning at the Waldorf after their wedding Saturday night - Reynolds' second all-nighter of the
weekend. On Friday, he held his 'Roman Baths'-themed bachelor party at the Time Hotel. 'It was so
uncomfortable,' said our spy. 'You had to sign a confidentiality agreement to get in and then you
were sent to the penthouse, where they made you get naked.' All clothes were put into plastic bags
on the floor and the 60 men were given bathrobes to put on. 'We sat basically naked in a freezing
room for a couple of hours,' says an attendee. 'There were only two bars and they were sponsored by
Hypnotiq, Remy and some awful beer. At 11:50 p.m., 10 topless girls came out. They were butt-ugly
except for two of them who simulated lesbian sex on the bed. Ten people left immediately - it was
very uncomfortable.' - { pagesix.com}

Poor Ethan Hawke, he looks awful lately and no one is interested in him anymore. Come to think about it, who really cares about Uma either (besides being creeped out by that weird bf)?
Ethan Hawke has sparked speculation he's dating Julie Delpy, after being spotted on a romantic date with the French beauty.
The pair, co-stars in 'Before Sunrise' and 'Before Sunset,' were spotted enjoying a cosy lunch together at the trendy New York City eatery Le Gamin - with Hawke's 2-year-old son Roan in tow.
An onlooker says, 'They were whispering, locking eyes and grinning at each other. At one point, Julie tossed her head back and laughed flirtatiously at him.'
Once their lunch concluded, the trio untied Hawke's dog from the restaurant's bench and went for a stroll.
A source tells Us Weekly, 'They seemed happy. He put his arm around her.'
Both stars' representatives insist they're just friends. Hawke is currently estranged from wife Uma Thurman. - {the daily dish, sfgate.com}
Does Star have a weird fat-girl complex that she's marrying an obviously gay man?! I mean, come on! This guy isn't even on the down-low�.
Al Reynolds stayed away from other women Saturday night when he partied without his fiancee, Star
'Bridezilla' Jones, who's in Dallas with the crew from 'The View' � but he wasn't alone. Reynolds
went to a gay-friendly Halloween bash at Belluno on East 40th Street. 'Al was there as a male
stripper,' said our spy. 'He had on a tiny, tiny speedo with a white bathrobe over it � he has great
abs! He was there with some friends who were dressed as King Tut, a leatherman, a cop, a cowboy and
a pirate � they were all clearly gay. Some of them he knew from before Star, but he was getting to
know the others.' Reynolds introduced himself to our spy, who mistook him for Jones' makeup man.
Reynolds quickly corrected him and said, 'No. I'm marrying her.' One of Reynolds' entourage added:
'And he's very scared.' The speedo is a holdover from last year's Halloween party, where Reynolds
wore it as part of his Bam Bam costume. Jones' rep sent us a statement saying: 'Star and Al are
happily planning their wedding, which is less than a month away, and don't plan to entertain
anything that would rob them of their joy.' - { pagesix.com}

I don't think Seth & Summer are engaged, but I am REALLY excited for 'The OC' tonight.
The OC' stars and onscreen lovers Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson reportedly have secretly gotten
engaged in real life. Brody and Bilson play teenagers Seth Cohen and Summer Roberts respectively on
the hit TV show, which follows the tangled love lives of rich youngsters living in Orange County,
Calif. The onscreen couple have tried to hide their offscreen romance for as long as possible. In
addition to the engagement rumor, they also have been spied looking for a house together in Los
Angeles. A source at Fox television network says, 'They are both so much in love and want to settle
down together. 'Adam went down on bended knee in a very traditional way and they plan to get married
in the new year. It's the talk of the set, but they have been trying to keep it quiet.' - {the daily dish, sfgate.com}

I hope this isn't true.
Marcia Cross plays supermom Bree on the hit series 'Desperate Housewives'-but in real life, she
backed out of an adoption because she refused to sacrifice her career to be a stay-at-home
mom!DESPERATE That's the stunning charge of Jessica Ridner, 32, whose heart was broken in May when
the actress decided not to adopt her child-just as production was gearing up for the darkly humorous
ABC drama about the secret lives of suburban housewives. 'Marcia had promised me that she would be a
stay-athome mother to my baby, but it was all a big lie,' Jessica told The ENQUIRER. 'Two months
after she backed out, I saw promos on TV for 'Desperate Housewives.' Everything made sense. I
understood why Marcia changed her mind-she was working! 'Marcia had been planning to go back to
working long days, leaving my baby in the hands of nannies and hired caretakers-even though she knew
that wasn't what I wanted for my child. 'She had to have been filming the show while we were waiting
for the baby to be born. She outright lied to me, and I'm still very, very angry. 'I was giving up
my baby so he would have a better life, but she had no intention of being the kind of mother I
wanted for my baby.' The ENQUIRER first reported in June that never-married Marcia, 43, had
contracted to adopt Jessica's baby. But when the baby was born prematurely with some health
problems, Marcia allegedly got cold feet. The adoption was canceled. 'I was shocked,' said Jessica.
'Everything was set. Marcia had even picked out a name-Harrison. Marcia called me and said the
adoption was off. She said she didn't have time to come to Nebraska and be with the baby in the
hospital. 'I didn't understand how she could back away so coldly. What kind of mother can't take the
time to be with her sick child? But now I know. Her work came before her baby.' When contacted by
The ENQUIRER, Marcia's publicist refused to comment on the situation. Jessica named the baby boy
Nickolas Matthew-Nick Knack, for short. He weighed just 3 pounds, 4 ounces, but was breathing on his
own and doctors were optimistic that he would make it. Tragically, a week later, he died. 'Marcia
sent me $300 toward the funeral, but she didn't send flowers or even a card. And I never heard from
her again,' said Jessica. Jessica, a recently divorced single mother of five, works full-time in
client services for Hewlett Packard, but she'd much rather be home with her kids. 'I leave work, go
to the store and go home to cook for them and help them with their homework-all the things a real
mom does,' she said. 'I have no choice but to work. But Marcia, who has plenty of money, had
promised me that she'd be a homebody for at least the first few years of my baby's life. 'Obviously,
her words meant nothing.' The ENQUIRER has learned that the 'Desperate Housewives' star is still
hoping to adopt. 'A baby is still in her future plans,' Marcia's mother, Janet Cross, told The
ENQUIRER. 'Marcia's new show came at a good time, to distract her about what happened to the baby
she planned to adopt earlier this year. But Marcia still has her dream to become a mother.' - { NationalEnquirer.com}

Ok, I know I'm a week late - but does anyone really think these artists are performing 'live' on these shows? Maybe I'm jaded, but I usually only think it's live if it sounds like shit. And I'm sorry, I love Em - but what's the difference between a vocal track and lip synching? It's just a technicality.
Does any singer take the 'live' in 'Saturday Night Live' seriously? Just one week after Ashlee
Simpson lip-synched on the show, was found guilty of the same crime. 'He was singing 'Mosh' and you
could tell he was lip-synching,' said our source. 'The track was just a bit ahead of his lips and he
put the mike down at one point but the track kept going.' Eminem's rep said he was merely trying to
'duplicate the sound on his album. He had a vocal track on for double vocal effect [on the first
song], to make it more powerful. Lots of hip-hop artists do that. Tupac [Shakur] did it.' - { pagesix.com}
I definitely think this blind item is Queen Latifah. Lately I've been obsessing about how great her PR people must be. I mean, how many actresses do you know who get busted for pot possession and a DUI and still manage to get an Oscar nom? I mean, it's not like these indiscretions happened a long time ago. She's got deals with Pizza Hut and Cover Girl, she's America's newest sweetheart! Something's fishy - and it's not just rumors about her preferred partners.
Adored Ava has it all-fame, wealth, sex partners, big boobs. She also has quite the past, including
sex with heaps of men, women, tools, tiaras, you shocked-to-the-hilt name it! Sounds exhausting, but
whatever; let's get on with the rubbed-raw goods, shall we? A2, one of those multitalented,
multicareered types, has been raking in the cashola as of late. Deals out the wazoo trading on her
famous-and infamous-past. But turns out people have no idea just how peppery that personal history
is. Orgies weren't-and aren't-an uncommon occurrence in Ava's life. And certain journalists know
exactly what makes Ms. Adored roar. That's why they've got a deal. A deal for A.A. to cooperate with
them on a regular basis. Otherwise? The grimy goods get printed-every last drop of unsafe and
unsanitary to-do. They know it. Ava knows it. - {the awful truth, eonline.com}

Hey there, gossip lovers! I have a few confessions to make. First, as it turns out, not only do I
feel sorry for Jennifer Lopez, but I actually LIKE Ben Affleck. He's just so damn likeable, even
when he's lame. Have you seen him on SNL? Second, I'm totally addicted to morning reality show,
'Starting Over.' And finally, I'm having an increasingly harder time keeping up with this
newsletter. I don't want to stop, but I'm going to have to cut back to sending it out every other
week. The up-side of this is that I can actually devote time to making it better; the down-side is
that it won't be as timely.
Please feel free to email me and let me know what you think of any of these startling confessions.

I wonder if Gwen would be mad if she knew that a friend of a friend of a friend of mine slept with Gavin while they were engaged?!
Gwen Stefani is devastated after discovering that her husband Gavin Rossdale has a teenage
lovechild. British newspaper the Daily Mirror reports that a DNA test has proved that the Bush
singer, 38, is the father of his goddaughter 15-year-old model Daisy Lowe after a brief fling with
her fashion designer mother Pearl, 33. An insider told the newspaper, 'Pearl has always wondered if
Gavin is Daisy's father. Both she and Daisy felt they deserved to know the truth so they decided to
find out. It was never about getting Gavin's money or anything like that. It was about finding
Daisy's real dad.' Following a series of legal letters, the Everything Zen singer agreed to take a
DNA test and Pearl discovered the results last week. The source continued, 'Even though she had

really occurred to her in the last six months that Gavin could actually be Daisy's dad. They only
had a very brief fling way back when. 'Gavin was reluctant to do the test as he didn't think he was
Daisy's dad. They were good friends but it has all become slightly awkward now.' Pearl confirmed the

Kirsten attempts to cleanse herself after associating with scummy Rick Salomon, but I don't think it will last.
Hollywood hunk Jake Gyllenhaal and his actress ex Kirsten Dunst are back together again - only five
months after splitting. Jake's sister Maggie - who co-starred with Dunst in 'Mona Lisa Smile' -
introduced the handsome couple in 2002 and they dated for two years before splitting in June. The
forthcoming issue of American magazine U.S. Weekly has exclusive pictures of the reunited pair in
Los Angeles, who were spotted kissing in a car last Tuesday. And according to gossip site

Is it just me or is something weird about this story? Eminem's uncle killed himself because the Sheriff's dog was bothering him? What?!? What bothers ME is that Eminem is said to be dating Kim again. Sigh!
Eminem is inconsolable after discovering the uncle he called 'dad' killed himself. The rap star's
real father deserted him when he was a baby so he was raised by Todd Nelson, who shot himself in the
head, allegedly because he was being terrorized by a sheriff's rottweiler. Nelson is Eminem's second
close relative to kill himself - the hip-hop artist's other uncle, Ronnie Mathers, killed himself
last year following a traumatic break-up. A family friend explains, 'This news has hit him hard. It
will bring back all the memories of losing Ronnie. To lose two uncles at such a young age is
terribly sad, especially as his father has never been around. The fact they both committed suicide
is so tragic.' Eminem's grandmother tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, 'Todd had been upset
about a rottweiler owned by a local sheriff who was causing problems for his family. The dog scared
his girlfriend's son and scratched their car. 'But when he complained to police, they wouldn't do
anything about it. He shot himself in his car in his own backyard. My grandson, Todd Jr., found his
body.' - {the daily dish, sfgate.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}

'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?

well, it looks like the 'real' britney & kevin wedding is happening next week october 16th. sources say that they have the entire four seasons on the big island in hawaii booked. i, for one, am thrilled! i have no doubt the wedding will be over the top with trash, but it's the kind of trash we love in the old britney - not the new, dirty feet britney. |
speaking of trash, i'm so into tv right now! just when i thought i didn't have room for any new shows i go and add a shitload. here are my favorites this fall:
veronica mars veronica lives in neptune, ca where you're either rich or work for the rich people. her dad was the sheriff, therefore even though her family wasn't rich, she had some cred. last year veronica was dating the most popular boy in school and was best friends with his sister. she was the 'in' crowd. but then the best friend ends up murdered and veronica's father, the sheriff, accuses the dead girl's father (who is the most powerful man in neptune) of being involved. veronica's dad gets fired, she and her boyfriend break up, her mom leaves town and veronica is now a social pariah. a private eye social pariah! veronica's dad starts his own private investigation firm and veronica helps him with his cases. however, the more involved veronica becomes with her dad's work the more she realizes that there's one big case that he's not letting her in on he's still working on the case to find veronica's best friend's murderer. 'veronica mars' is a little like 'pretty in pink 'or 'some kind of wonderful ' meets 'buffy.' hmmm...when i put it like that it sounds like it would kinda suck - but it doesn't! it's on tuesday nights on upn. check it out!
america's next top model this is the best reality show out there. insecure, bitchy models duking it out all while being critiqued by janice dickson, 'the first supermodel!' how could you possible resist?!
wife swap this show is priceless abc picks women who are complete opposites to trade places for a week. there are lots of fights, bratty kids, and gross husbands. my own husband almost can't watch this show because it makes him so uncomfortable, so i'll recommend this one with a warning that it might not be suitable for everyone.
desperate housewives despite the annoying promos running constantly on abc, i decided i just had to give this one a try. i love felicity huffman!! i thought the pilot was good. but what up with nicolette sheridan's face??!! she looked a little joan rivers-esque. and did you know that the 'supermodel' wife (eva something-or-other) is dating jc chasez?! so gross. i'm hoping i can get over the little things to love this show.
there are more, but i'll just start you out with those. seriously though, set your tivo for 'veronica mars.' and don't forget to check out 'life as we know it' on abc tonight i have a good 'my so-called life' feeling about it!

what is it with paris and the video camera? i really need to know! paris hilton is fighting off accusations she made racist comments at a new york party. last week, american newspaper new pork post reported that in a recently surfaced 12-hour videotape, hilton is shown speaking with two african-american men, who ask her if she would model their fashion line. the publication reported that hilton, standing with pal brandon davis, was polite to the men, but called them 'dumb n*****s' after they left, according to british reporter carole aye maung, who reviewing the alleged tape. maung says, 'two... guys begin talking to her. she's being very, very sweet to them. (but) she definitely uses the n-word. it's so cruel, because they were so lovely, and she was being so lovely to them. ' but furious hilton hits back, 'anyone who knows me knows that this is not me. i am deeply hurt by recent reports. i am not a person who discriminates against anyone - ever. ' hilton's best pal nicole richie adds, 'she doesn't have a prejudiced bone in her body. ' according to maung, the tape also includes footage of hilton 'making love' with ex-boyfriend nick carter in the back of a car and greeting one-time boyfriend jason shaw in the nude. - {the daily dish, sfgate.com}

the only other thing we missed dishing about was the emmy's!

Could it be that a sitcom star wasn't in much of a rush to head home? So say my pals at the

anyone who'd listen that it had been a while since he'd 'had some', but when he resorted to using
his character's pick-up lines on virtually anyone who walked by (including some Emmy staff members),
it was downright embarrassing. Just goes to show that when it comes right down to it, even someone
who brings you coffee can be there for you if you wait around long enough. (Filth2go.com)

finally, an explanation for those get-ups!
Sexy 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow' co-star Bai Ling says her stay in a mental hospital
made her a better actress - but she's still haunted by voices in her head. 'I hear eight separate
voices,' Ling says. 'I have given them each names and I have to shout out to them sometimes to shut
up. Sometimes they tell me that they don't like living in New York. But they are my friends although
sometimes I say, 'You are too demanding.' They are like spirits.' In a rambling chat with PAGE SIX,
Ling added, 'I am writing a book called 'A Clock Falling From the Sky and Dreams of Tibet' about my
experience starting when at 14 I was in the Chinese Liberation Army in Tibet for three years as an
actress teaching Chinese values to Tibetans.' Ling, who plays a henchwoman of the mysterious Dr.
Totenkopf in the sci-fi box-office smash 'Sky Captain,' continued: 'I was damaged by what I did in
Tibet, it was twisted. My time there was very sexual, but also innocent and sad. I was with all
these older men, falling in love many times, which was forbidden and I was punished for it. Then I
wanted to kill myself because I felt that life had become meaningless. I was in a dark place and I
was lost. 'So I went into a mental hospital where they gave me electric shock treatment close to a
hundred times. After I got the shock treatment I would stand in one place for the whole day without
moving. They gave me medicine every day so that I was numb all the time. It was like a prison...I
would have these horrible nightmares of being eaten by tigers, leopards and jaguars. 'I had those
nightmares for years afterwards until one day I realized that in another life I had been a leopard
myself and then the nightmares stopped. That was because I hunted a leopard in South Africa and when
I saw the leopard, I realized then that I had once been a leopard because they say that the leopard
only lets you see it if it wants to be seen. 'I felt like I was connected to that leopard but I am
now in a human form. I can feel that wild side when I am dancing. I got out of the mental hospital
when I was 17 by telling the doctors that I was an actress and I was just pretending that I wanted
to kill myself and that I wasn't really sick. I became a great actress because I had to be to get
out of that hospital.' - { pagesix.com}

jenna and barbara bush lived up to their hard-partying reputation while
in new york supporting their pop, president bush, during the republican
convention, according to our spies around town. the twosome kicked off a
week of fun last saturday at chelsea hot spot 17, where, we're told,
they partied with a group of 20 guests till the early hours. 'jenna
seemed more wild than barbara,' said a witness. 'they probably got
through about three bottles of level vodka, and they were given a tour
of the club by management.' the conservative cuties' next big night was
wednesday at sixth avenue nightclub avalon, where they were in the crowd
smoking cigarettes and pumping their fists to kid rock, who was
performing on stage. 'they [and their entourage of about 25] drank
$4,500 dollars worth of drinks bottles and bottles of vodka,' says a
club insider. 'then, having been comped all the alcohol, they left a $48
tip. we thought 1 per cent was kind of outrageous, considering they are
the president's daughters.' on thursday night, after the president gave
his big speech at madison square garden, jenna was out again returning
to 17 for more good times. a spy told page six's tom sykes that jenna
showed around 3 a.m. with a group of up to 50 people: 'she was dancing
around the club with a group of rather attractive fashion industry-type
girls and another six or seven men who were either young republicans or
secret service,' says a source who was with the party. 'there was one
particular, really preppy-looking guy who she was dancing with the whole
time who looked like he might be her boyfriend,' our source said. 'at
4:15 a.m., they closed the club and ushered jenna and her posse upstairs
to a suite where there was a private open bar and big red pool table.
jenna's friends played 8-ball quite poorly. 'the elevator was broken, so
we all had to walk up the stairs. she kicked off her heels and wandered
around the space barefooted. around 5:30, the staff started losing their
patience and finally sent everyone home.'there was no repeat of the
poor tipping that the avalon staff experienced. a 17 club staffer said,
'yes, they were here, but they were actually great to the staff and
tipped big. in fact, they even called on friday to say thanks for a
great night, so we are hoping to see them again.' - { pagesix.com}

the couple was merely arguing over their new house not breaking up.

ok, so corey haim is never going to stage a successful comeback, but im dying for him to do a dateline interview!
the lost boys star corey haim shocked doctors with the gargantuan
quantity of drugs he was consuming during his career heyday in the late
1980s. haim took so many illegal substances - including 'about 85'
valium tablets a day - he became a 'nervous wreck'. the 32-year-old
says, 'i was working on lost boys when i smoked my first joint. but a
year before that i was starting to drink beer on the set of the film
lucas. i lived in los angeles in the '80s, which was not the best place
to be. i did cocaine for about a year and a half, then it led to crack.
i started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the
uppers because i was a nervous wreck. but one led to two, two led to
four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day - the
doctors could not believe i was taking that much. and that was just the
valium - i'm not talking about the other pills i went through.' the
child star attempted rehab 15 times before he suffered a stroke. he
explains, 'i was numb and i had lots of swollen lymph nodes, my heart
was hurting and i had blood clots in my arm and leg.' the actor, who is
hoping for a hollywood comeback, adds, 'i'm clean, sober, humble and
happy.' haim was recently immortalized in the title of the thrills' new
single 'whatever happened to corey haim?' - { imdb.com}

the scariest part of this story is that ana looks about a million times classier than britney.
britney spears husband of just 55 hours, jason alexander, found himself
another blonde to play with during a recent trip to miami. and his
latest squeeze, named ana, has something britney doesn't have - a male
member! 'the moment jason saw ana, he went straight over and asked her
to dance,' said an eyewitness at miami's club space on the night that
alexander, 22, met ana. 'they spent the next four hours dancing, kissing
and drinking. i don't think he knew he was kissing a guy. mind you, he
seemed pretty drunk.' 'in miami, ana is well-known as a she-male - a guy
who looks like a girl but still has his male equipment,' explains the
source. 'but most guys from out of town don't have a clue that ana's a
transsexual.' just how far did their make-out session go? ana was
reluctant to kiss and tell: 'i met the guy in the club, we had a few
drinks, we danced, we kissed and that is as far as i'm going with this
story,' she/he purred to star. ana's web site says she charges up to
$2,000 for a night as a she-male escort, and boasts, 'i'm better than
anyone else when it comes to small waist...and that busty bleached
blonde look with real 10-inch package.' jason did not return star 's
call for comment but his father, dennis alexander, tells star: 'i
wouldn't know about this. sure, he was in florida a few weeks ago. but i
thought he was going to disney world.' well, at least it was a magical
ride. - { starmagazine.com}
the title on this story in the enquirer was tiny tim: weirder than you thought.
and i read the story, and it is weird, but i dont think anything could be weirder than i thought tiny tim was.
bizarre entertainer tiny tim came across as a lovable crackpot - but offstage he was an incredible ladies' man who seduced women with scripture.
to millions, he is best remembered as the ukulele-strumming, falsetto singer who married 'miss vicki' on 'the tonight show.' but he was far stranger than fans ever imagined, according to his former manager and longtime friend stephen plym.
in the book 'tiny tim and mr. plym: life as we knew it,' which will be available in bookstores next month, tiny's manager tells all about one of the strangest performers ever - and he gave the enquirer this exclusive sneak preview of his secret-baring book.
toilet issues
the bearish, scraggly haired singer was attracted to underage girls, and often walked around with as much as $4,000 stuffed into his shoes. even though he had no medical reason to, he wore adult diapers, which he changed three and four times a day - sometimes in front of sexual conquests.
although he was a germ freak who lived in fear of public toilets and insisted on plastic utensils in restaurants, tiny ignored medical treatment for his diabetes and other problems.
throughout his career, tiny (real name: herbert khaury) was wrongly thought to be gay by many fans. in fact, he had just one early gay experience - which plagued him for years.
'i wrote the book to set the record straight on tiny,' plym told the enquirer in an exclusive interview.
'despite his eccentricities, women mobbed him everywhere he went. the real demon in his life - and he hated himself for it - was underage girls.
'but despite being drawn to 15- and 16-year-olds, tiny never had sex with a minor, to my knowledge.'
conquests
however, tiny - who got married three times - didn't let his wedding ring stop him from bedding a steady stream of women, says plym.
'tiny would invite women to his hotel room and then read them scripture as his own unique prelude to seduction.
'but the sex would be over in a matter of seconds. all his life tiny suffered from this problem. once he even tried to treat the problem with the numbing agent orajel.'
on dec. 17, 1969, tiny married 17-year-old victoria budinger (aka miss vicki) in front of 45 million tv viewers - but afterward he had a surprise for her that sent their relationship into a tailspin.
'after the ceremony, he surprised miss vicki by insisting on a seven-day preparation period before sharing their marital bed. during those seven days, he prayed, meditated and became spiritually ready,' plym told the enquirer.
'unfortunately, at the end of the allotted time, tiny gave the green light for his bride to jump into bed - and it was all over in two seconds.'
tiny and miss vicki had a daughter tulip, but the singer was 'completely indifferent' to the girl, reveals plym.
'after he and miss vicki divorced in 1977, tiny cut off all contact with tulip.'
haunted
although tiny was effeminate, he 'loved and adored women,' says his manager. 'but he was haunted by his one gay experience, which took place when he was a young boy and involved a childhood friend.
'he never repeated it, but it troubled him deeply. he once asked me
whether it made him a homosexual.' tiny lived in fear of germs. he
showered as frequently as four times a day and scrubbed the toilet after
each use. despite his precautions, tiny dropped dead at age 64 during a
private performance for the mother of his third wife, miss sue, and her
friends. 'after he fell down on the stage, still clutching his ukulele,
someone came up and asked tiny if he was o.k.,' plym told the enquirer.
'he said, 'no,' closed his eyes - and that was it.' - {national enquirer}

i think by now everyone knows that julia roberts is a bitch. but i think what i'm coming to terms
with is the fact that i think she's over.
benjamin bratt was horrified by the effect fame had on his former lover, superstar julia roberts.
the 40-year-old actor dated the 'pretty woman' star for four years until june 2001, but left her to
marry 'bond' girl talisa soto, because roberts' celebrity status had made her ego 'unbearable.'
bratt says, 'with julia i saw up close what fame really does to a person. it sounds great but it
comes with a terrible price. getting too close to the light is a dangerous thing. but i needed to go
through that to appreciate what i have now.

also strangely quiet to mischief-talking motormouths this week were madonna's peeps, who're normally

i'm gonna have to think about this one. what are your guesses?
i don't think it would be entirely inaccurate to say mr. rex, no stranger to the porn biz, has a
taut thang or two in common with muscled manfred. you see, m2 has been riding high on the he-man
appeal of his abs, quads, sneer and soloflex-sublime bod for a while now. but let's back up (manny
sure loves to).
for simply ages, man-poo has kept his guy-preferring ways on the down-low; such the money-grubbing
bore, that one. the nerve of him wanting to keep his livelihood afloat! never mind.
be that as it homosexually hidden may, m.m. has long had a boyish thing going with one of his
previous costars (a real guy's guy, too, i'm blabbin' atcha)-a fling that's far from over, contrary
to randy rumor. but that sitch may be changing in the near future.
mr. m. has a much talked about project going down. hotter than hot, actually. real credit-grabbing
stuff, fer sure. but m2 has actually been such a pain in the well-worked-out behind to most of his
colleagues, two things are occurring: nobody can stand looking at the final product, their stomachs
are so damn churning already from dealing with the pissy poof; and folks are becoming more and more

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, MSNBC.com}
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.' - { PageSix.com}
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. - { PageSix.com}
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, NYPost.com}
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, NYPost.com}

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, SFGate.com}
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. - { hotelchatter.com}
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, NYDN.com}
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

Did you know that (according to online gossip site Ananova.com) Justin
Timberlake's friends call him 'Trousersnake?' I think that's a load of
crap! These British gossips are always making shit up and 'quoting'
celebs - but the words they use are things that Brits say, not the way
an American would say it! Trousersnake - puhleeze. Well, anyway, lots of
people are saying that Trousersnake and Cameron Diaz are engaged. The
best thing I've read comes from Defamer.com: 'We would never be so
cynical as to try and guess the duration of the union, as marriage is a
blessed institution strengthened each time two celebrities give
themselves to each other for a brief time, but a friend very, very, very
close to Defamer gives it seven months (five if they're ever in the same
city after the honeymoon).' |
Just two guys out, catching a flick together...
Was Tom Cruise trying to hide some thing at the 'Collateral' premiere
the other night in Harlem? According to a witness, the actor's entourage
included a man who was a 'young version of Tom.' When Cruise went to
take his seat, he looked at his doppelganger who was sitting next to a
heavyset man. The friend pointed to a seat next to the heavyset man. And
Cruise sat down. But when the lights went out, Cruise's friend and the
heavyset man exchanged places so the actor could sit right next to his
friend. After the movie Tom ran out with 10 bodyguards escorting him
into the freight elevator, leaving behind his pal (who joined him later
at the after-party.) 'It was odd,' said our spy. Others in Los Angeles
note the doppelganger has been Cruise's trainer for years. - { PageSix.com}
I will seriously be so pissed off if these two get together.
Scarlett Johansson is looking for love and has reportedly asked to be
set up with newly single star Jake Gyllenhaal. The Lost In Translation
star has met Gyllenhaal a few times, and friends say that the pair are
perfectly matched. Now she has asked her representatives to organize her
a date with the actor - who recently ended his long-term relationship
with actress Kirsten Dunst. A pal says, 'He's a little younger than her
usual type, but they really clicked. They both grew up in dynamic and
creative families and Jake has an old head on young shoulders, just like
her.' Johansson, who is rumored to have had a fling with Benicio Del
Toro at last year's Oscars, makes no secret of the fact that she is
looking for love. She recently said, 'I'm a girl in the prime of my life
and I'd like to celebrate that with someone. The thing is, I'd
definitely like to be in a relationship with the right person. That's
why I'm looking.' - { imdb.com}
Have you seen Andy Dick's show on MTV, 'The Assistant?'
I was watching it yesterday trying to figure out if Andy was just taking
the piss (as my British and Irish friends would say) or if he was being
real. My guess after reading this is that he's being really and truly
f'd up 'real.' TV comic Andy Dick went on a randy rampage at Suede early
yesterday that ended after he burst into tears over the death of his
friend Rick James and was thrown out of the Chelsea club by 'Little Shop
of Horrors' star Joey Fatone. Dick, the star of MTV's 'The Assistant,'
was desperately in need of a minion to get him under control as he tried
to kiss any man or woman he bumped into, including 'Austin Powers' actor
Seth Green, rolled around on the men's room floor, and asked clubgoers
if they had cocaine. The vodka and cranberry-swilling comic then
barricaded himself in Suede's dishwashing room and began sobbing
uncontrollably about James, who died last week, reports an eyewitness
who witnessed the meltdown. 'My best friend is dead!' Dick wailed. 'He's
gone! He's dead! You don't understand! All my best friends die!' Dick
then handed a dishwasher a stack of $100 bills so he could 'live in the
room.' When Fatone - whom Dick taunted as 'Fat One' - and Suede owner
Eytan Sugarman tried to coax him to leave, Dick said, 'You don't want to
push me around, because I'm perfectly capable of doing this' - and
punched an unidentified friend standing next to him in the face.
Finally, Fatone, the former *NSYNC member who co-hosts a Tuesday night
party at Suede with promoter Brandon Marcel, dragged the blubbering Dick
outside with the help of Sugarman and loaded him into a cab in front of
a crowd that included Green, Mets outfielder Cliff Floyd and MTV veejay
Vanessa Minnillo. Green was overheard sputtering, 'That guy tried to
kiss me,' as Dick was hauled past him. But Dick's rowdy romp wasn't over
yet. The former 'News Radio' star, who has battled drug and alcohol
abuse in the past, headed downtown to Plan B on Avenue B and promptly
commenced smooching and slapping the people inside. 'He was obviously
obliterated,' Plan B co-owner Josh Boyd told us. 'He jumped on the back
of Jason Battle, my co-owner, and kept trying to kiss him. Then he

quarantined him and put him in a separate room. But then he slipped
outside and skipped out on his $300 bar tab. The last anyone saw of him,
he was rolling around the street on Avenue B.' Dick's manager declined

I was reading this week that Kate Hudson is a bit of a spoiled rich-kid bitch.
It made me a little sad because I really wanted her to be cool. Kate
Hudson has resumed her smoking habit to help her lose the 60 pounds she
gained during her pregnancy. The 'Almost Famous' actress, 25, is
depending on cigarettes to drop down to her original dress size for film
'Skeleton Sky' -- after the arrival of her baby son Ryder Russell
Robinson in January. A source says, 'She quit smoking when she was
pregnant but she's started again to help her lose weight. 'She's
breast-feeding, so it's really not ideal.' - { dailydish.com}
Count me in - I LOVE Ashlee Simpson.
Out in La-La land, pop sensation Ashlee Simpson has called it quits with

Simpson, has been featured on MTV's 'Ashlee Simpson Show,' but
scheduling problems have doomed their budding fling. 'They are both so
busy with touring and promotion,' a source shared. 'They looked at the

is a year from now.' - { PageSix.com}

Before you shed any tears for poor old Nicky and Paris, read this...
Paris and Nicky Hilton made it simple for thieves to burglarize their
Beverly Hills home - the sexy sibs had a habit of leaving their front
door unlocked. Pals say Paris lost her keys and purse so often that the
airy heiresses decided to keep their abode unlocked. Nicky found out
about last week's break-in and called Paris, who was partying at the
time with ex-boyfriend Jason Shaw at the L.A. club Concorde. 'She
started crying and Jason comforted her,' our spy said. Paris has good
cause to be upset. Among the items stolen were cash, jewelry and - uh-oh
- personal video tapes. Hilton's rep didn't return calls. - { PageSix.com}
Hmmmm...is this a publicity stunt?
It's a match made in R&B heaven: Apparently Usher and Alicia Keys have
been getting cozy. The pair have been in New York shooting the video for
their upcoming duet, 'My Boo.' According to sources, they were
inseparable during the shoot at Silvercup Studios on Wednesday and
Thursday. 'They've been really close - at photo shoots, at rehearsals,
all over town!' said a source close to the singers divulged. The song
doesn't hurt either - its romantic lyrics are all about first true love.
Usher, 25, broke up with his 33-year-old rapper girlfriend 'Chilli' from
the group TLC several months ago and has been single since. Keys, who's
on her second album, has not been linked with anyone recently. - {Elisa Lipsky-Karasz, NYPost.com}
Sometimes old gossip is better than current gossip!
Secret tapes have emerged in which Marilyn Monroe revealed she had a
lesbian fling with actress Joan Crawford. The tapes, which were made
while Marilyn was having therapy, reveal that Monroe did not enjoy the
experience. The news was revealed by author Matthew Smith, who is
currently writing a book on Monroe. He said: 'She described an intimate
moment in some detail and told how she and Joan had sex.' Marilyn was
heard saying: 'I told her straight out I didn't much enjoy doing it with
a woman. 'After I turned her down she got spiteful.' Monroe also
revealed how her second husband, baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, was a
let-down in bed. She said: 'Marrying him was a mistake. He wasn't that
interested.' - { ananova.com}

Don't you miss Scientologists? Everyone I know is sick of Kabbalah. And
almost everyone I know is sick of Paris Hilton this week. It seems as
though we're split into two camps - those who think it's a
publicity stunt and those who think Nick really did it. In case you're
one of the few who haven't been keeping up with the brouhaha this week,
click here for the pictures and below you'll find the he said/she said
versions of the story. The one good thing that came out of all of this
is that I found a fun new site! PopstarInsider.com is a hoot! I found
myself reading more than I thought I would and longing to join the girls
on a celebrity hunt.

Now, before we head into the Paris/Nick crap, I need to tell you about
my new celebrity boyfriend, Adrian Grenier. He's one of the stars of
HBO's new series, 'Entourage.' It airs after 'Six Feet Under' on Sunday
nights and it's great. Besides hunky Adrian, Kevin Dillon is amazingly
funny in it. Check it out!
The Truth According to Paris's Camp
A bruised and battered Paris Hilton is telling pals ex-boyfriend Nick
Carter hit her, leaving the ugly marks on her face and arms. In photos,
Hilton has an obviously swollen lip and bruises up and down both arms.
She has said the bruising came in Los Angeles Monday evening, after she
and Carter joined pal Amanda Demme at the Argyle Hotel, where Demme
throws a weekly party. 'They were dirty dancing together,' said one
Argyle spy. 'They were very lovey-dovey, staring into each other's eyes.
We all thought they were back together.' But after Hilton and the
ex-Backstreet Boy left the Argyle to party at another club, Joseph's,
the mood turned sour. 'Nick wanted to leave, Paris didn't,' said a
Hilton pal, adding, 'Nick forced Paris to leave, he made her get in a
cab with him.' Hilton alleges to friends Carter later lost his temper.
Friends say Hilton is 'scared to death.' The pal added: 'He has major
anger-management issues...We have seen bruises on her before and
asked her about them. She has always denied it - until now.' Another
Paris pal added, 'Nick made his bed, now he has to lie in it.' A friend
of her sister, Nicky Hilton, confirmed to yet another source that both
Nicky and Paris claim the person responsible for Paris' bruises is
Carter. Hilton's rep, Tracy Shaffer, declined comment. Carter's lawyer,
Marty Singer, fiercely denied Carter had anything to do with the bruises
on Hilton, claiming Hilton is spreading rumors because she's angry with
the pop star. 'Even though they broke up, they spent Monday night
together, and Paris left Nick's house Tuesday morning happy,' Singer
said. 'This is all because Paris was upset by what Nick told People
magazine.' Singer also claimed that Hilton had been scheduled for a
photo shoot Tuesday with celebrity shutterbug David LaChapelle. 'It was
going to be an S&M shoot,' the lawyer said. Carter told his side of the
breakup story to People, while Hilton told her side to a rival magazine,
Us Weekly. Hilton gave no indication that violence contributed to the
breakup. Hilton said, 'I need time alone,' before revealing that she
broke up with Carter in a phone call. Hilton did say her friends weren't
happy with her relationship. 'Nicole [Richie] will be happy. She didn't
like me with Nick,' Hilton said. The magazine quoted a friend of Hilton
saying: 'Nick was very jealous of Paris and her career. He'd get mad at
all the attention she got.' Singer fumed: 'This is reciprocity. On
Tuesday, he drove her to a business meeting and she called him later
that night to see if he wanted to go out with her to some event. He said
no! They had a big argument Thursday after People hit the newsstands
because she was upset because he [had told the magazine] about her name
tattooed on him. In our opinion, it's clearly retaliation.' When told of
Singer's claims, Shaffer snapped, 'No comment!' Meanwhile, Hilton has
tried to maintain her busy social schedule. On Wednesday, Hilton hit
another L.A. club, Concorde, with sister Nicky and actors Lindsay Lohan
and Wilmer Valderrama. Hilton flew to New York yesterday to join her
family in Southampton to attend a benefit for her recently deceased
grandmother. - { nypost.com}
Nick's story
Nick Carter broke down in tears during a reunion with his Backstreet Boy
bandmates in Los Angeles on Friday - after he was quizzed over ex-lover
Paris Hilton's shocking bruises. The hitmaker has rubbished speculation
that he was responsible for Hilton's injuries, which were discovered
after she was spotted with a swollen lip and bruised arms at Hollywood's
Concord Club last Wednesday. The couple split on July 22 following a
seven month romance which many believed would end in marriage. Carter
struggled to regain his composure as he and bandmates AJ McLean, Howie
Dorough and Kevin Richardson worked on new material at a recording
studio. He finally snapped after a passer-by berated him over the
alleged incident. He ran to his car and was photographed sobbing with
his head in his hands. One onlooker tells website Popstarinsider.Com:
'Suddenly it got very intense. I won't go there with what happened, but
the situation was sad. Next things we knew, Nick was in his car crying.
I was about to cry too!' Hilton has refused to confirm Carter's
explanation that she received the injuries during an S&M photo shoot. - { imdb.com}
If I were Tara, I would be showing those boobs off, too. They're pretty good.
Tara Reid is once again tipsily terrorizing the streets of New York.
Pedestrians on Houston Street got an eyeful earlier this week when Reid,
a passenger in a black Range Rover, decided to give everyone an
impromptu peep show. 'Tara was wearing a green dress and leaning out the
window of the Range Rover with her new [breasts exposed], screaming her
head off,' laughed our spy. The next day a hungover Reid jetted off to
Sardinia to join some socialite pals on vacation. Reid's rep confirmed
she was in Sardinia. - { PageSix.com}
Hey Johnny Knoxville, wanna party?!
Kate Moss' kissing buddy Johnny Knoxville claims their intimate behavior
together is the supermodel's 'way of partying.' The 'Jackass' star, 33,
has been spotted canoodling with the British beauty in London and New
York, while his wife of seven years Melanie looks after their 6-year-old
daughter Madison. Knoxville explains of his liaison with Moss, 'Kate and
I are great friends. We partied a lot when I was in London. 'That's
Kate's way of partying.' - {The Daily Dish, SFGate.com}
Ok, this really pisses me off.
American Media seems to be backing off its bombshell claim that
Mary-Kate Olsen was treated in a Utah clinic for cocaine addiction. Both
Star magazine and the National Enquirer reported last month that
Mary-Kate had checked into Cirque Lodge for cocaine, not an eating
disorder. But the tabs are singing a different tune this week after some
cooperation from the Olsen camp. Star's cover features a photo of the
twins smiling aboard a private plane. The shot was provided to Star by
Olsen's handlers after Star threatened to run a less-than-flattering
shot of Mary-Kate, says Olsen spokesman Michael Pagnotta. 'We felt it
was in Mary-Kate's interest to have as good a picture as we could
provide,' he said. 'Our lawyers came into an agreement with their
lawyers.' Star's accompanying story does not mention cocaine, instead
reporting that Mary-Kate was in treatment for anorexia. But AMI
mouthpiece Stu Zakim claims the weeklies are standing by their coke
claims. 'The cocaine story is still true, but it was old news,' he
explained. 'She was always being treated for anorexia and cocaine.'
(This despite Star's headline, 'It's Not Anorexia - It's Drugs!')
Pagnotta hinted that AMI backed down under pressure by the Olsens'
lawyers: 'The cocaine stories were false, and it was pointed out
internally. We made the best out of what was not an easy situation.' - { PageSix.com}
American Media tops my 'Lame-o List' this week.
A source told The Scoop a while back that, because of the threat of a
lawsuit, the Star no longer publishes info about Jennifer Lopez without
her permission - an allegation that the tab denied. Now the source tells
us that the ban extends to the Star's sister publications, including the
National Enquirer. In fact, the moratorium forced The Enquirer in its
current issue to refer to J. Lo's ex-hubby Cris Judd as the guy 'who
used to be married to singer Marc Anthony's new wife.' - {The Scoop, msnbc.com}
TOM CRUISE IS A HETEROSEXUAL MAN.
Tom Cruise wants to get hitched again. 'I am the guy that is going to
get married again. I will never give up on that,' the 'Collateral' star
declared while promoting the movie in Los Angeles. 'I will never be done
with love, never, ever.' What's more, the star, who was married to Mimi
Rogers and Nicole Kidman, revealed his gender preference. 'I love
relationships,' Cruise proclaimed. 'I love women.' - {The Scoop, msnbc.com}
Vincent Gallo really creeps me outbut at the same time I kind of dig him.
He talked for about three hours after the film...i shit you not. in
that time, maybe ten questions were asked of him. despite claiming that
he's shy, he's a natural born storyteller and conversationalist. and oh
my gaw, does he have some INCREDIBLE stories to tell! he namedropped
everyone from Christina Aguilera to Richard Avedon; he told stories
about watching porn with Rick Rubin (his best friend!!!) and getting
'prescription' drugs for 'Noni' Ryder at a pharmacy in New Hampshire at
3:30 in the morning. he broke down the Roger Ebert battle for us (side
note: even though Gallo banned him from tonight's screening in Chicago,
the two are scheduled to go out to dinner together) and delighted in
telling us about the giant billboard on Sunset Boulevard that he
purchased WITH HIS OWN MONEY to promote the film...he even took us out
to his car afterwards to show us pictures of it that he had on his
laptop. he gossiped about Kirsten Dunst, revealed that Sage Stallone was
the winning bidder on EBay for his camera equipment, briefly preached
about the negative consequences of national health care and called Sean
Lennon 'the most talented musician alive today' (he tends to lay the
hyperbole on a little thick at times). - { whatevs.org}
Does anyone out there still like Gwynnie?
Naming her baby Apple and using heated glass bottles to suck the toxins from her red-carpet-going
back are just a couple of the many quirks exhibited by New Age nutter
Gwyneth Paltrow, according to Star magazine. For one thing, she and
hubby Chris Martin purposefully bought their new $4.5 million London
home near three of her alternative-health gurus. Now, the mag tells us
her latest oddity: In addition to reportedly using the color-coded
rainbow diet to do her meal planning, she apparently practices a ritual
in which she sits nude in front of a mirror to observe how her body
reacts to the food. We've heard of watching your diet, but this is
ridiculous. - {Tab Fab, Eonline.com}
Question for Russell Simmons: WHY?!?!?! (Have you seen the mugshot?)
The timing of Kimora Lee Simmons' arrest for charges including
possession of marijuana couldn't be better for her husband: hip-hop
impresario Russell Simmons is in the midst of promoting his new Court TV
series, 'Hip-Hop Justice.' The show, which examines whether law
enforcement unjustly targets rappers, is the perfect forum for Kimora's
story since she's claiming her innocence. 'I am always looking for new
material for my new show, but I didn't think my family would be
candidates,' she told AllHipHop.com. There might even be video of her
arrest. Because Kimora pulled over in front of her estate's gates, the
whole incident was filmed by surveillance cameras. Simmons did not
return calls. - { PageSix.com}
Will and Jada separated?
As of press time, I haven't heard back from Jada's flackers, but the
point remains: The 32-year-old wife to international superstah Will was
without her wedding band at the press junket and premieres for Michael
Mann's Collateral. However, a spokesperson for Mr. S. could not have
been more helpful: 'They're still together,' sniffed the repper. 'He's
been in Europe for I, Robot.' Fab. Now that that's settled (yeah,
right), let's move on to another dangling derring-do sitch, one that
occurred during filming of I, Robot. Recall Will's semiscandalous shower
scene? He is, of course, completely nude (as most people are when
bathing). And in the side view the camera offers the audience, one of
Smith's legs is precisely placed in front of the other, so as to hide
Mr. S.'s procreative machinery. Tasteful. But hardly discreet is the
tawk from Robot set vets, who tell me the damn thing had to be strapped
to his thigh with duct tape, it was so cumbersome. And don't pretend for
one friggin' second you don't know to what I'm referring, 'kay? 'It was
in some kind of glove or sleeve,' elaborated Smith's press dude. 'And as
they say in Godzilla, it's not about the size. It was about privacy for
Will.' Well, if I were interested in privacy, I wouldn't be writing this
obnoxious missive, would I? 'Who taped Will's member to his leg?' I
asked, feeling it was-if anything-the obvious query. 'Was Jada on the
set that day?' 'I'll let your imagination answer that one, Ted,' replied
the rep. Not a good idea, I assure you. - {The Awful Truth, eonline.com}

Hey ya'll! I'm having such a great summer. Not only has it been a good

Mommy It was seriously priceless. I missed Amish in the City on

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}

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

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

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.

Did ya hear about Brandy and how she wasn't actually married to her baby daddy? Brandy's ex, Robert
Smith, revealed on Wendy Williams' radio show Monday that the couple's secret July 2001 nuptials
never actually happened. According to E!Online, Brandy is 'hurt and shocked' by her former
boyfriend's revelations in a statement from her publicist. While not a legal union, she insisted
they had 'spiritual union and a true commitment to each other.'
What a load of crap!!!! Personally, I don't like Brandy. Awhile back I heard she was bad-mouthing my
girl, Beyonce and ever since then I haven't liked her. Besides, she's a shitty dancer. She ain't no
Beyonce! |

Mischa and her oily boyfriend are fighting again.
It looks like trouble in paradise for 'The O.C.' starlet Mischa Barton and her oil-heir squeeze,
Brandon Davis. Although the lovebirds are snapped all over Los Angeles in vise-like grips, they've
had some spectacular blowups, too. At the L.A. Prada store opening the other night, the buzz was
that the pretty pair have called it quits. But Barton's rep says that, for better or worse, the two
are 'still dating.' Good luck, kids! - { PageSix.com}

going to be highbrow at all. It's a bit of a mess as well, since the executive producer has yet to
start because of commitments in Los Angeles, and we all can't wait to see the diva fights between
the show's stars.' In addition to Asner, Kimora Lee Simmons and Cynthia Garrett have signed on. A
rep for the WB didn't return calls. - { PageSix.com}
Ok, ok, I'm sorry to hear about Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal breaking up but I can't WAIT to
see who she goes out with next!!
Kirsten Dunst has dumped her movie hunk boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, blaming 'filming commitments'.
Spider-Man 2 actress Dunst and The Day After Tomorrow actor Gyllenhaal had been an item for two
years before the surprise split two weeks ago. Since they began dating both Dunst and Gyllenhaal
have become internationally famous, and Dunst's role in the Spider-Man movies has made her one of
the most recognizable actresses in the world. An insider says, 'Kirsten and Jake had been spending a
lot of time apart because they both had filming commitments. But Jake was totally besotted with her
and is devastated that she has broken up with him. Kirsten's career has sky rocketed. She's one of
the hottest young actresses in Hollywood right now. She felt her relationship with Jake was
emotionally draining and she couldn't cope with it on top of her work. It's very sad for Jake. He is
really heartbroken.' - { imdb.com}
This week Benjamin Bratt replaces Peter Dinklage on my celebrity boyfriends list.
Benjamin Bratt suffered the ultimate embarrassment when he agreed to surprise a fan on Oprah
Winfrey's chat show - she had no idea who he was. Bratt was initially happy to go along with making
his alleged admirer's day, but once the two met he quickly learned that a big mistake had been made
somewhere along the line. He recalls, 'There was the story of an aunt who had written in to the show
saying that her niece is a huge Benjamin Bratt fan and she was disappointed because she couldn't get
tickets for the show. So the producers of the show wanted to surprise her. They called her down to a
spa in downtown Chicago and they told her that she was going to be the recipient of a massage and a
facial, etc. Well, the gag was for me to show up with a bouquet of flowers and walk out to the lobby
where she was sitting and say, as I did, 'Hi, I'm Benjamin Bratt, I'm going to be your masseur for
the day!' She just looked up at me and went, 'Okay...' She had no idea who I was! The aunt got the
niece to show up at the spa and she had no idea who I was, so needless to say, it was footage that
was completely unusable. It was incredibly humbling.' - { imdb.com}
Rosario Dawson and Jason Lewis WHO CARES?!
Rosario Dawson has turned her amorous attentions to TV hunk Jason Lewis, despite the
model-turned-actor's limited dance skills. Dawson - who reportedly enjoyed a brief romance with
Colin Farrell on the set of their upcoming movie 'Alexander' - was spotted passionately kissing the
'Sex And The City' star at Vin Diesel's birthday bash in Miami, Florida at the weekend . However,
Dawson's attraction to Lewis - who played Samantha Jones' toyboy Smith Jerrod in the defunct comedy
- was temporarily reduced when the actor failed to ignite the dance floor at Prive nightclub,
according to website Pagesix.Com. In front of an audience including Sean 'P Diddy' Combs, Spike Lee
and Busta Rhymes, Lewis sparked hilarity with a series of spectacularly uncoordinated dance moves. - { imdb.com}

If they televised Brit's wedding on pay-per-view, I would totally watch it. Wouldn't you?
Britney Spears is considering sharing her lavish November wedding with her legions of international
fans - by beaming it live around the world on TV. The singer will marry Kevin Federline, her boyfriend of three months, in a romantic ceremony in
California and is determined to prevent the media from ruining her big day. So, instead of staging the nuptials under a blanket of tight security, Britney is thinking about
giving everyone full access to the event via the power of television. An insider tells Britain's Daily Sport, 'She has the fan base around the planet to pull this off -
plus it could reap millions in television revenue. 'No celebrity of her status has ever taken their vows in front of a global audience. She certainly
doesn't see herself as another Princess Diana, but there's no question that if one pop star can pull
this off it will be Brit. 'She wants her people to go ahead with negotiations with TV networks for a syndicate deal. It also
delights her that the paparazzi will be left out in the cold.' - {The Daily Dish, SFGate.com}

Did you know that Michelle Williams ('Jen' from Dawson's Creek) is dating Heath Leger now?
I used to think that I liked Katie Holmes ('Joey' on creek) better than Michelle,
but now I think I like Michelle better. She's made some really interesting film choices and she's
actually GOOD. Katie Holmes might be good...I don't know. I think part of the reason I'm not so hot
on Katie is her relationship with Chris Klein. He just seems so dumb and boring. Together they seem
too sugary sweet. You know how your tongue and teeth taste and feel after you've eaten too many
Twizzlers? That's how they make me feel. |
I wish Lance would come out of the closet! And then I wish he would write a tell-all book that describes a scene where he and Justin Timberlake, as young boys, experimented together!
Don't believe those stories about a rift between Justin and Lance of 'NSync. Published reports state
that the duo were at the same pool party in the Hollywood Hills and avoided each other like the
plague.As luck would have it, one of our spies was at the same soirre and told me that it was easy
not to see someone since there were about 300 people in attendance.'When I got home, I found out my
roommate was there, but I never saw him,' said my source.Also, it's likely that Justin and Lance are
traveling in different circles these days, what with Bass being inseparable from that certain
someone of the male persuasion.Normally, I'd be worried about getting Lance's nose out of joint �
but since he's sporting a new schnoz, I'm probably safe. - {Filth � by Billy Masters, Filth2go.com}
Poor child.
We love being right. Univision television, which has many close ties to Dayanara Torres, Marc
Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, is confirming our scoop that Lopez is pregnant. 'Her friends and family
members have told us she is pregnant,' said a Univision exec. The exec offered to fly us down to
Miami to talk about our exclusive on the 'Christina' show, but we had to decline. A rep for Lopez,

Hmmm...I wonder if Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck will date if she and Michael Vartan break up. It was widely rumored that something went on between the two during the filming of that god-awful superhero movie.
The romance between Alias co-stars Jennifer Garner and Michael Vartan is reportedly on the verge of
collapse. According to insiders, Vartan - who has been dating Garner since she left her husband
Scott Foley last year - has been out clubbing at Los Angeles and chatting to sexy women, with his
beautiful belle nowhere to be seen. One source tells Britain's Daily Sport newspaper, 'He was being
flirtatious with some women in Joseph's club in LA. He never goes out to clubs when he's dating and
certainly hasn't since he's been with Jennifer. So it was sort of weird to see him out.' - { imdb.com}
But then I hear this and now I don't know what to believe!
I swear, I'm getting outta the love biz right now. That'll last, let's see, how much time? Probably
about as long as Jennifer Garner's marriage to Michael Vartan. Is that overly mean?
I suppose I should back up a bit, huh? Yes, yes, yes. I will go to my grave (where I trust I won't
be dumped as early as some folks would like) insisting on the accuracy of my original bustup reports
regarding Alias' hot honeys. Had to do with those drop-dead blue jobs of Vartan, I think, and how so
many hoochie-coochies find them as irresistible as Jen does. But that was then.
You're totally not gonna believe this, but now I'm hearing from some inside chums of the babelicious
ones that an engagement is imminent. "Do not be surprised if Michael and Jennifer become engaged in
the very near future," said a source who knows Jen's schedule rather well. - {The Awful Truth, EOnline.com}
This story makes me actually kind of LIKE Gwynnie!! 'Filene's!' hahahaha
Is Gwyneth Paltrow turning into a grump? The star hosted a bridal shower for childhood friend Mary
Wigmore at a private home on Perry Street last week but shocked guests by acting aloof and
antisocial. And when Wigmore opened a present from her future mother-in-law, Paltrow apparently took
one look at the gift and smirked, 'Filene's!' But maybe to make amends, the actress took four
girlfriends out to dinner last Thursday night at sceney restaurant Spice Market. The actress - who's
still carrying a few post-pregnancy pounds and was dressed down - took care of the bill with one
swipe of her black Amex. - {Elisa Lipsky-Karasz, NYPost.com}
This totally sounds like something Brit-babe would do.
Britney Spears stunned shoppers in Malibu, California yesterday by downing shots and eating junk
food in the street at lunchtime. The singer, 22, was out with her new fiance Kevin Federline when
the couple stopped to buy chips, orangeade, and a miniature bottle of whiskey before tucking in as
they walked along. And onlookers were shocked by the disheveled appearance of the glamorous
superstar, who paused briefly to drain the bottle dry. One says, 'I had to look twice - it didn't
even look like Britney. Her hair was a mess and she looked like she was wearing his jeans, they were
so long. The only giveaway was her bling-bling engagement ring.' The couple have just returned from
a romantic break in Hawaii following the announcement of their engagement. - { imdb.com}
Peter Dinklage wouldn't do this.
Johnny Knoxville may not be a 'Jackass' anymore, but he still likes to act like one. The other night
at Ruby Falls, Knoxville and 'Jackass' alum Steve-O got so tanked on vodka, they both 'stripped
naked right there in the club and started to simulate sex' in front of the likes of Drea de Matteo,
Heatherette designer Richie Rich and Village Voice gossip Michael Musto, says our spy. The next
night, Knoxville returned for model May Andersen's birthday party, but this time kept his clothes
on. - { PageSix.com}

you can have sex with any girl you want.' Mayer also spent $1,700 on eBay for an unopened 'Star

Hey, after reading this, I got to thinking - does SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker) still wear wigs all the time? I thought the word was she had hideously horrible hair.
Now hair this: Christina Aguilera may be losing her locks. One well-placed follicle flunky tells us
the singer's classy, curly new 'do is designed to cover up her bald spots. 'They don't know if it's
alopecia, the disease, or if it's from wearing extensions all these years,' says our spy. 'Her hair
is falling out. Her new look is supposed to cover up the hair that she's already lost.' But
Aguilera's rep flatly denies the allegations: 'It's absolutely not true. There is nothing wrong with
her hair.' - { PageSix.com}
I'm sorry, but JHo and Affleck TOTALLY played into the whole 'Bennifer' saga. Who can forget their Dateline exclusive with Pat O'Brien? Or JHo announcing their engagement to Diane Sawyer?!
Ben Affleck feared dating Jennifer Lopez could wreck his career. The actor confessed to close pal
Matt Damon that he knew his J.Lo romance wasn't good for him, and Damon admits he felt sorry for his
'Good Will Hunting' co-star. Damon says, 'It was pretty tough, I guess, mostly because it really
preyed on my own sense of fairness. There was this misconception that, 'Oh he's trying to get this
attention, ' and he said to me in the middle of it all, 'This is the worst thing for my career, I
know that.' He knew it was bad for him.' - { imdb.com}

Could it be that a certain sexy actor has been caught with his pants down? Not only that, but he was

stalking the talented thesp, but it's not like she didn't have good cause.After all, only a fool
would assume all that glitters is gold. - {Filth � by Billy Masters, Filth2go.com}

3 - US Weekly I can't even believe my beloved US Weekly is in third place, but it just isn't catty enough. If they aren't careful, I'm afraid I'm going to start reading heartwrentching stories about young Billy Smith and his diabetic dog soon. That's a slam toward PEOPLE, if you didn't catch that. You don't want to get me started on how worthless PEOPLE is.
2 - In Touch Weekly There's nothing I love better than seeing pictures of celebrities looking like crap and they've got 'em by the barrelful at In Touch!
1 - STAR Oh, thank you Bonnie Fuller, you bitch! Bonnie Fuller used to be the editor over at US Weekly when it reigned as #1. I'm afraid they lost their edge when old Bonnie moved over to STAR.
Go grab a copy of one of these bad boys and enjoy your weekend! I promise I'll dig up more dirt next week.
Um...peek cullah? Nicole Kidman was thrown out of a nail bar after she failed to specify exactly which shade of polish she was after, reports a British newspaper. The Oscar-winning beauty, 37, was taking a break from filming The Interpreter in New York when she visited the beauty salon and was told to exit by the manicurist for dithering over which exact tone of red she wanted her nails to be painted. A source tells the Daily Star, 'Nicole seemed otherwise preoccupied. Presumably her mind was on her work. But the assistant was hardly sympathetic and was very impatient.' - { imdb.com}

Britney, proving she really is an idiot, stands to lose half her fortune. Britney Spears insists she's marrying for love, not money ' and the pop tart is resisting pressure from her parents to force her fiance, dancer Kevin Federline, to sign a prenuptial agreement. Spears, worth $100 million, reportedly had to pay for her own $40,000, 5-carat engagement ring, and has put Federline on her permanent payroll as he has no money of his own. Spears' mother, Lynne, is said to be distraught over Spears' blind love. According to Star, her dad, Jamie, begged her to demand a prenup ' to no avail. The couple, who have known each other a scant three months, have already bought a house on Mulholland Drive and are making wedding preparations for November. Sources told Star that Lynne is hurt because Spears told her assistant the good news about the engagement before she told her mother. Britney has shrieked at her mom, 'This is my life, let me live it!' Under California law, if Spears and Federline marry without a prenup, he could get half her fortune should they divorce. Meanwhile, gawker.com adds Spears has been looking to sell her NoHo apartment, probably because Federline, a country boy, doesn't like the big city. - { PageSix.com}
