issue no. 2 on popbytes
Have you ever met someone and instantly felt like you shared a brain? That's how I felt when I started reading popbytes - I am pleased to tell you that we watch all of the same tv shows - and we share the same viewpoints about these shows! It's not everyday I find someone who takes 'American Idol,' 'Alias,' and 'Days of Our Lives' as seriously as I do. And I don't know anyone else who watched soap opera, 'Santa Barbara' from begin til end! This site is a fun read and it makes me chuckle everyday. I know most of you watch the same crap...er...fine programming that we do. So, check it out and sign up for the newsletter popbytes roundup (look up!). Oh, and you can also read my little ol' column there (here)! |
Oh, puhleeze! Mischa Barton was in a tizzy Tuesday night when she arrived at Chelsea's Marquee nightclub with boyfriend
Brandon Davis, heir to a Hollywood oil fortune.
'Are there paparazzi out there?' she asked, poking a very worried face out of a friend's Bentley.
'Are there? Are there?'
'Do you see any paparazzi out here?' came the doorman's reply. There were none.
Miss Barton's concerns might have been a tad presumptuous. No one seemed to recognize the sultry
'OC' star.
'Mischa Barton? Who is that?' asked a non-TV watcher at the club.
'I just said hi to Brandon, but who's Mischa?'
Nevertheless, the starlet hid her face and physically attached herself to Davis as they were escorted through the packed club to the private VIP room.
But this diva-in-training episode was a rerun. At a recent private party, she snapped when two girls asked who she was, Barton hissed,
'You just hate me because I'm famous!' Maybe. - {Elisa Lipsky-Karasz,

Usher is so hot I don't even care about this. Usher should learn some airborne etiquette. The chart-topping singer and his huge entourage held up American Airlines Flight 159 from New York to Los Angeles Thursday as they schmoozed with the plane's captain.
'They actually allowed Usher and his security guards to go inside the cockpit!' one frustrated passenger text messaged us.
'He has got more Louis Vuitton luggage with him than Elizabeth Taylor and now they are making people switch seats!' At text message time, Usher and company had held up boarding by over 20 minutes.
'People are going to miss their [connecting flights]!' our spy typed. Several minutes later:
'Now [Usher] is hanging out talking to someone in the front row of first class so he gets noticed. He should sit down, hide and shut up like celebrities do...now he's drinking champagne.' The flight did finally take off and Susan Blond, a rep for Usher, said:
'It doesn't sound like Usher. He is always respectful of everyone.' - {

I hate it that this otherwise low-key, cool celeb couple is acting all 'Bennifer' on us. Brad Pitt and
Jennifer Aniston were making out like a couple of teenagers at Bungalow 8 Monday night.
The pair fled the packed
Troy after-party at Cipriani 42nd Street, and anyone who actually spoke to the disarmingly flirtatious Pitt was immediately tackled by teenage girls asking frantically,
'Is he nice? Is he nice?'
The couple, clearly the prom king and queen of the celeb world, with their impossibly shiny hair, perfectly even tans and alarmingly white smiles, beat a hasty retreat out the back entrance and headed for Bungalow 8, where
Bono had already taken up residence at a back table to celebrate his 44th birthday. Among famous friends like super agent
Bryan Lourd, and supermodels
Cindy Crawford and
Helena Christensen, Pitt and Aniston - still the best-looking pair in the room - made out right at the table.
'They looked very much the couple,' said one clubgoer.
'They were having a good time.' What a skirt chaser. - {Elisa Lipsky-Karasz,

For those of you who still give a shit about 'The Apprentice' (What about ex-Firestone babe,
Jen Scheft?!)
'The Apprentice' winner
Bill Rancic was caught in full canoodle with former co-star
Amy Henry at Sushi Samba the other night. Rancic was rumored to have romanced Henry after her fling with another contestant,
Nick Warnock, who now sells ads for
Jason Binn's Gotham magazine. Our spies say that Rancic and Henry were tongue-wrestling at a secluded spot on the roof of the restaurant and got up to leave after they realized that
'Survivor' sweethearts
Ethan Zohn and
Jenna Morasca were watching their P.D.A. from a nearby table. - {

Hmm…I would say it's either Mini Me or Peter Dinklange. What do you think? Which pint-sized celebrity likes to take Ecstasy before he has sex with his much-taller girlfriends? The jury is still out on the li'l lover's prowess between the sheets some exes have likened his manhood to a
'cocktail weenie,' while others are impressed by his endowment. - {

The Lohan-Duff feud is back on! WOO HOO!!!!! Actress
Lindsay Lohan has reignited her feud with fellow teen star
Hilary Duff, after mocking their problems in a
'Saturday Night Live' sketch.
At the beginning of the month, Lohan guest-hosted the popular show, as part of promotional duties for her hit movie
'Mean Girls.'
But singer Duff, who fell out with Lohan after they dated pop heartthrob
Aaron Carter at the same time, was less then impressed to see
'SNL' regular
Rachel Dratch dressed as her, singing that their feud was
'so yesterday.'
She tells TV show Access Hollywood,
'When I heard that Lindsay was going to be on 'Saturday Night Live,' I knew she was going to make fun of me. I wasn't honored. I don't think it's an honor to be made fun of on 'Saturday Night Live.'
'I'm not here to talk bad about her like she talks bad about me all the time. I just knew that it was gonna happen.'
Lohan hits back, 'We didn't do anything derogatory towards her. I'm sorry if she felt offended her, but I thought things were cool. Hilary, I don't wanna start anything again!' - {The Daily Dish, sfgate.com}
Life imitating Brittany's stinker, 'Just Married.' Talk about bad karma!
Brittany Murphy and top talent manager
Jeff Kwatinetz have officially entered Splitsville. The Tinseltown twosome, who have been engaged for a year, called it quits after a
'bad' trip to Paris a few weeks ago. Kwatinetz is the one who called off the wedding, said our source, who claimed Kwatinetz is
'still in love' with his ex,
Michelle Dupont, who's now dating
Adrien Brody. To make thing even more awkward, both Murphy and Brody are represented by Kwatinetz's company, The Firm. - {

I can't wait for this movie! But only if it stars Clooney. George Clooney,
Russell Crowe,
Tom Hanks, and
Hugh Jackman are all in the running to star in a film adaptation of the runaway best-selling book,
'The Da Vinci Code,' according to author
Dan Brown.
Brown disclosed the names of the potential stars of the flick when speaking to an audience in Concord, New Hampshire recently and the crowd gave the loudest applause to Clooney, reports the Union Leader of Manchester.
Brown said he resisted having his book made into a film, but Miramax head
Harvey Weinstein convinced him that the public needs to know about
'The Da Vinci Code' ˜ and most people don't read.
'He absolutely appealed to my ego,' Brown said. Paramount, however, is making the film. - {The Scoop,

I would be self conscious about those teeth, too. Jewel seemed a bit flawed at a recent concert. The singer's behavior was so erratic when she appeared in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, that she had some in the crowd worried that she was having a nervous breakdown.
'Witnesses said Jewel went on a tirade of insults from poking fun at fat people to others with no teeth,' according to seacoastonline.com.
'At one point, she asked the audience to yell requests and then told them to shut the hell up' The singer also reportedly
'told everyone to stop looking at her teeth and look at her breasts.' - {The Scoop,

I know it's probably not cool that a 34-year old grown woman is happy about this... but I love it that
Hilary Duff is getting beaten up by everyone. Teen rocker
Avril Lavigne has launched a fresh attack on chart rival Hilary Duff, accusing her of being a
'kiss ass.'
The singer - who has yet to bump into 16-year-old Duff socially - says her reasons for disliking the blonde are justified, as she's a
'goody-goody.'
Lavigne, 19, rages,
'I don't really like her. She's too much of a kiss ass. You can tell that she's a goody-goody. She'll probably try to avoid me for the rest of her life.'
But one pop rival has won new respect from sharp-tongued Lavigne - superstar
Britney Spears. She adds,
'If Britney wanted to be cool and hang out, then I would put all ego aside. But I don't regret anything I've said about Britney.' - {The Daily Dish,
