A New Golfer is Born

2007-06-19T07:18:00.001-04:00

Tiger Woods announced on his website that his wife Elin gave birth to their new baby daughter, Sam Alexis Woods early Monday morning, June 18th. I wonder if either she actually gave birth earlier than that or if he knew she was in labor because I watched the last day, Sunday, of the US Open and he looked a little off. No pictures yet but I have my fingers crossed. I bet she is adorable!

In other baby news, Keri Russell had a baby boy on June 9th, it was announced Monday. And Sam Alexis Woods shares her birthday with Julia Roberts' newest addition, a son named Henry Daniel Moder!

Daytime Emmy's!!

2007-06-16T14:50:00.000-04:00

I watched the Daytime Emmy's Red Carpet and then the show last night. I really like the Daytime Emmy's, because the soap stars are so happy to be there, don't have A List Celeb attitudes and some of them look like mutton dressed up as lamb, which is basically ordinary people with lots of makeup on. And even though I usually have no clue who anyone is, I like looking at all the pretty outfits!

Last night brought a gem in another form - Chandra Wilson (Dr Bailey from Grey's) working the red carpet for SoapNet. Apparently she is a soap addict and she was super excited to see everyone. It was very touching and nice, and she made great TV.

Here is Chandra with some guy called Dan Gauthier who was nominated for Outstanding Support Actor in One Life To Live. Look how excited she is!!

Weekend Musings.....

2007-06-16T14:21:00.000-04:00

Rod Stewart got married yesterday for the third time, to his girlfriend of seven years, Penny Lancaster.

Now here's his three wives next to each other in order: Alana Stewart, Rachel Hunter, Penny Lancaster

See a pattern developing here? Rachel Hunter and Penny Lancaster are practically indistinguishable from each other. Totally bizarre.

Plug Your Ears

2007-06-15T10:44:00.000-04:00

So it looks like the rumors of a Spice Girl reunion tour are in fact true. Sporty Spice was the only holdout but now it seems she is on board. She told a BBC London 94.9 just how exciting it all is going to be.

"For the first time ever, there is some truth in the rumours. We've been discussing it and it could possibly happen. I've always said, 'I don't want to do it, the past is the past. It was amazing, it was magical. We could never recreate it.' But this year people have been talking about it and some of the girls have expressed an interest in doing it. There is just so much great feeling out there and I just thought, you know what, I don't want to be the person that stops it happening or stops it being a five-piece."

Magical?! That seems a bit of a stretch. How much do you want to bet that this is going to be a reality show?

In other Spice news, here is Victoria Beckham at the launch of her new fashion line, DVB in New York yesterday. Busy girl that Posh.

Nicole Trying for a 'Get Out of Jail Free' Card?

2007-06-15T09:53:00.000-04:00

The pregnancy rumors continue to swirl around Nicole Richie. Page Six has this little jem today,

Nicole Richie is being coy on the question of whether she's pregnant, but a good pal of hers says she's definitely carrying Joel Madden's love spawn. "Nicole is kind of hoping her pregnancy will keep her out of jail," the friend said. Richie is facing time due to a DWI arrest earlier this year. But friends are concerned and "wondering if she can carry the baby to term because of her weight issues," we're told. A rep for Richie didn't return calls.

So basically, if this is true, Nicole and Joel watch My Name is Earl and figured, 'hey, it worked for Joy!' and decided to give it a shot. Good luck Nicole, my guess is you will be in the cell right next to Paris.

Justin Timberlake is Arrogant

2007-06-15T09:00:00.000-04:00

Justin needs to take a few steps down from that high horse he is on. In an interview with the Daily Mirror, he sets the record straight about his relationship with Jessica Biel by calling her simply "a very dear friend" and said that she texts him all the time, how embarrassing. When asked who the love of his life is, he said "I haven't met her yet." Slam to not only Jessica but Cameron (who he refers to as "one of my very best friends") as well, I would imagine. He says that she was the one who wanted to join him on his tour, that it wasn't his idea.

"She truly insisted that she came with me on tour. I don't know how to say no to a pretty face. But it wasn't really a good idea," Justin admits. "This time I'm putting the machine before everything else. Jessica met up with me in Manchester, but for Paris I told her categorically no. This tour is very important for me. I'm doing it really seriously so there's no question of playing sweethearts!"

Way to let her down easy. He then goes on to go on and on about himself and what a fantastic catch he is.

I defy a girl not to fall for me if I'm on a surfboard or snowboarding," he challenged. "It's my secret weapon if a girl resists me." He also says "plenty" of men hit on him, too.

Give me a break! You just made yourself a lot less attractive Justin.

Angelina Goes Vintage

2007-06-14T13:37:00.000-04:00

Last night in New York at the premier of A Mighty Heart, Angelina Jolie showed up in a dress that cost $26.00. Angelina told Access Hollywood that she got the dress at vintage store Wasteland, on Melrose Avenue in LA. Translated, that means she had a stylist comb through tons of stuff and find this gem for her. She did have Christian Louboutin shoes on, which probably cost twenty times what her dress cost.

Her other accessory was priceless: Brad Pitt.

Stop Your Hating!

2007-06-14T10:32:00.001-04:00

Shar Jackson spoke to US Magazine about the nasty little rumor that had her pregnant with K-Fed's baby.

Us: How do you think the pregnancy rumor started?
Shar Jackson: Honestly, some people are just really unhappy that me and Kevin have a great friendship. Obviously some people can't handle that. Some people like to start stuff to make their little lives better.
Us: So for the record, you are not pregnant.
SJ: Not at all. I am not pregnant. Have you seen my new stomach? Are you kidding me? I am not going to ruin that. That is so stupid. Not only is it stupid but it's unhealthy. I could die. So obviously the person who made this up isn't that bright. Let your readers know there is no way in hell I would waste $16,000 on a tummy tuck and get pregnant. I have no time and no plans to get pregnant any time soon. And when I say I have no time, I'm talking years. So whoever's hating should stop and focus on their own problems.
I love her. She is totally hilarious. Throw out that dollar amount girl!

The Donald Looking to Clean Up Young Girls

2007-06-14T10:23:00.000-04:00

Donald Trump and Fox are developing a new reality show (because there are just not enough of them on TV) called Lady or a Tramp. Basically, he will send party girls to charm school then they will have etiquette challenges and of course, at the end of each episode, one 'tramp' will be booted off.

“We are all sick and tired of the glamorization of these out-of-control young women, so I have taken it upon myself to do something about it. I am creating a real-life version of My Fair Lady with my company Trump Productions. This show is all about getting a second chance and transforming for the better; the idea is genius and the show will be huge.”

Good 'ol Donald, you can always count on him to think positively about himself. If the show goes, it will air midseason.

Posh: Only worth One Hour of Time

2007-06-14T09:59:00.001-04:00

Unfortunately for us, Kate and I did not get our wish of a weekly Posh reality show. NBC says that the series has been condensed to a one hour special, Victoria Beckham: Coming to America, and will air on July 16. I really was hoping for a longer look into the Posh world but I guess I have to settle for one lousy hour.

The Laws of Motion

2007-06-13T20:44:00.001-04:00

Two of my favorite people, Lauren Graham and Matthew Perry, are busy making a movie together, "The Laws of Motion", which is in production right now.

In the movie, Perry plays a husband struggling with life in a repressive career and community along with headaches caused by his free-spirited brother and sister. Lauren Graham will play his wife and Hilary Swank will take on a supporting role as well as being a producer of the film.

Apparently Graham and Perry used to date, but Lauren Graham insists they have always been "friends".

I think they would make a great couple!! They had lots of magic together in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip when Graham guest starred (which Perry is brilliant in and I can't believe they have cancelled that show!!). Lauren Graham is always going on Ellen and saying how she doesn't have a man in her life. Maybe life is imitating art (eg Gilmore Girls) and her soul mate is right in front of her eyes?

Aniston Adopting?

2007-06-13T13:19:00.000-04:00

OK Magazine is reporting that Jennifer Aniston is the next celebrity to do the ultra 'in' thing by adopting a baby.

Inspired by her good friend Sheryl Crow, who just became a mom to adopted son Wyatt, Jennifer Aniston is seriously considering adopting a baby. The 38-year-old actress has met with the same adoption agency that helped bring Sheryl and her son together.

They are also saying that she really wants a boy. Maybe she wants a boy in the hopes that he can hook up with best friend Courteney's daughter, Coco, later in life. I wonder what her new hottie boyfriend Paul Sculfor thinks of this baby news?

Evan Almighty Premiere

2007-06-13T13:06:00.000-04:00

They had a green carpet for the Evan Almighty premiere on Sunday. I can't quite figure out why everyone looks so....eh....super casual except that maybe because it was a Sunday afternoon? Adam Sandler looked like he was on his way to McDonald's and Kevin James, I don't even know what to say about Kevin James. Sandler joked with the press when asked about his appearance saying, "What?! You think I'm not dressed up for a premiere?"

But Lauren Graham! She looks gorgeous as usual. Makes me miss my Gilmore Girls Tuesdays.

Is K-Fed Still Populating the Earth?

2007-06-13T10:41:00.000-04:00

In a shocking turn of events, The New York Post's Cindy Adams is claiming that Shar Jackson is 7 weeks pregnant with Kevin Federline's child!!!!! And that he doesn't know and he's going to find out by reading her column!!

Apparently Shar wants to get back together with K-Fed. I have no clue if this pregnancy rumor is true, but this will probably set Britney off on a whole new series of freak outs.

I'd be scared to stand in the same room with K-Fed. He seems extremely fertile.

UPDATE: Shar Jackson is not pregnant

Help!

2007-06-13T10:24:00.001-04:00

Poor Michael J. Fox. Here he is, trying to enjoy the Muhammad Ali photo exhibition last night in New York but looks absolutely terrified to be so close to Mariah Carey!

Isaiah Washington Gives Statment....In Third Person

2007-06-13T10:18:00.000-04:00

I hate when people talk like this. So damn annoying. I'm glad he got the boot.....arrogant s.o.b.

"I can only apologize so many times," Isaiah said. "I can only accept so much responsibility. All the players involved have taken care of what we needed to take care of in-house – and the media took it in a different direction. I hope that everyone is happy for the outcome for Isaiah, but Isaiah will go on and do what I love to do."

Katie Wants to be Posh

2007-06-13T09:52:00.001-04:00

Katie Holmes got her hair cut. Gee, thinks she wants to look just like her new BFF Posh Spice? Bet she colors it blonde next.

Why Brit? Why?

2007-06-12T20:27:00.000-04:00

This dress is awful, and the boots are just plain ugly. Later on she just fell out of it all together.

Get a stylist!!

Look at Posh's Shoes!!

2007-06-12T18:55:00.000-04:00

Posh got to throw out the first ball at the Dodgers game the other night, and I just can't get over the shoes she wore to do it!!

The Daily Mail is also reporting that Posh married for love, not money.

"I can't do without love. I would rather live in a council flat with David than in Beckingham Palace without him."

Hmm, don't believe it for a minute, but whatever.

And if you are wondering what this is, it's Posh smiling. I can't remember the last time that happened.

News of the Day

2007-06-11T20:43:00.000-04:00

Today's big stories were.....

Paris called Barbara Walters yesterday and told her she "used to act dumb. It was all an act. That act is no longer cute" This statement assumes that we all thought it was cute to begin with. She also assures Babs that she is a changed person, a more spiritual one who wants to build a "Paris Playhouse, where sick children might come..." She is even reading The Wall Street Journal.

TMZ is reporting that Paris is suffering from 'extreme ADD and claustrophobia' and that while in jail, she was having severe panic attacks which caused her to be so debilitated, 'she could not push the panic button in her cell. Yawn.

Lindsay Lohan's former bodyguard of 2 years, Lee Weaver, spilled his guts to News of the World. Among the gory details are: she attacked a coke dealer, slit her wrists in front of her friends and enjoys lesbian romps.

Britney Spears has forgiven her mother for putting her in rehab. Britney, her sister Jamie Lynn and mom Lynn Spears met yesterday in Bel Air. Maybe Britney realized that at least her mother, unlike momma Lohan, may have actually had her best interest in mind when dropping her off at Promises.

Paris Gets Visitors

2007-06-11T08:14:00.000-04:00

Sunday was family day but poor Paris was only allowed to have two visitors. She picked her sister Nicky and ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos. I cannot believe after her screaming and crying for her mom that she picked an ex over her for her first visiting day. Anyway, she is still in the medical facility, on her meds and there is still no plan to appeal. Photo from The Washington Post.

Glowing

2007-06-11T07:15:00.000-04:00

Naomi Watts looked lovely last night at the Tony Awards with boyfriend, Liev Schreiber. Watts could only be weeks or maybe days away from having her baby.

Paris Too Scared to Pee

2007-06-10T17:12:00.000-04:00

It's all become clear to me now. Paris couldn't care less about actually being in jail, just about using the facilities. According to the Daily News, Paris didn't eat or drink anything for 3 days because she was petrified that guards or staff would take a photo of her on the toilet.

The stainless steel lavatory in the hotel heiress' 12-foot-by-8-foot cell was in plain view of a large window in the door, which guards could look through 24hours a day."She was absolutely terrified that one of the guards or staffers would get her with the cell-phone cam and it would wind up on the Internet," a Hilton insider said yesterday.

That would probably make me paralysed and unable to go as well. On the other hand, Paris has been photographed numerous times getting out of a cars with out underwear on, not to mention the sex tape, so why does she care if there is a photo of her peeing?

My helpful suggestion, hold it until lights out.

Click here to see an hilarious photo of Spiderman holding up a "Free Paris" sign.

Breaking News: Paris Back to Jail!!!!

2007-06-08T15:08:00.000-04:00

No party for Paris tonight!! TMZ has just reported that the Judge has ordered Paris back to jail!!!!

Paris was screaming "Mom, Mom, Mom" and had to be physcially dragged out of the courtroom by a deputy.

Paris Cries on Way to Court

2007-06-08T14:20:00.000-04:00

Paris cried as she was hauled away to face the court again today. As Mia previously posted, it was absolutely insane outside Paris's house as the Sherrif arrived to take her to court. An MSNBC reporter was run over!! According to TMZ.com Paris was cuffed before she was driven to the court house.

We are now patiently wait for the results of the hearing.

TMZ has the blow by blows

Paris Frenzy

2007-06-08T12:52:00.000-04:00

There is a total frenzy outside of Paris' house right now because she is due to appear in court at noon pacific time today. Kate and I are crossing our fingers and toes that they put her ass back into the slammer.

Meanwhile, while MSNBC was broadcasting, delivery trucks started to arrive at her mansion with.....party supplies!! Including stemware, outdoor heaters among other things. Members of the paparazzi told the MSNBC reporter that yes, Paris was in fact planning on having a party tonight. This of course is not confirmed, but it sure looks like it to me! So, if little Ms. Hilton was so distraught and on the verge of a mental breakdown in jail and it was so serious that she had to be sent home, how the hell is she able to throw a party tonight?! I hope this is brought in front of the court this afternoon.

Bitten Officially Launches

2007-06-08T08:34:00.000-04:00

Sarah Jessica Parker was on The Today Show this morning promoting her new clothing line, Bitten. Of course before Matt could get to the fashion show, he had to ask her to address the frenzy around the possibility of a Sex in the City reunion. Here is what SJP had to say:

"I'm hopeful but there are simple logistic things to work out. There is some serious discussion though. I'm very hopeful."

She looked like she knew more but was trying very hard to not let the cat out of the bag. I would love to see them team up again!

On to Bitten. She showed the stuff that we all have now seen no less than 100 times, first on Oprah a few weeks back. Yesterday was the official launch in a New York mall where hundreds of women showed up to try and get their hands on anything they could. The Washington Post has a hilarious article today about the mayhem that went down when the doors opened. One woman sounds like she was going to pass out saying,

"Oh my God! It's everywhere. I'm so overwhelmed right now!"

I'm excited to see the line for myself, although not quite as excited as that chick, and since you can't buy it online, Kate and I are organizing a road trip to our closest Steve & Barry store. At less than $20 a piece, I may have to stock up...for the blog of course!

No More Dr Burke!

2007-06-08T07:18:00.000-04:00

Isaiah Washington has been fired from Grey's Anatomy. The suspense has ended.

I guess that final scene of the Grey's Season finale was true in two senses - Dr Burke will not be returning and neither will Isaiah Washington!

Howard Bragman, Washington's publicist, says Washington's option was not renewed, and released this statement from the actor: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more." Bragman did not elaborate on the statement, a reference to the 1976 film Network.

That's too bad. I always liked the character of Dr Burke, although I was never able to look at him the same way after the "incident" with T.R. Knight.

Pregnant Or Just Had Lunch?

2007-06-07T18:10:00.000-04:00

If you believe Life & Style, Nicole Richie is pregnant. If you ask me, she is just a super skinny girl who gets a mini bump right after she eats or drinks anything. Here is what Life & Style has to say today:

Rumors have swirled recently that super-skinny Nicole Richie is pregnant — and
new photos show a definite bump. Now an insider reveals to Life & Style in this week’s cover story that Nicole, 25, recently underwent tests, including blood and urine screenings, that confirmed she is pregnant!

The Luckiest Girl on the Planet Speaks

2007-06-07T14:33:00.001-04:00

TMZ has gotten a statement from Paris Hilton via her attorney.

"I want to thank the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and staff of the Century Regional Detention Center for treating me fairly and professionally. I am going to serve the remaining 40 days of my sentence. I have learned a great deal from this ordeal and hope that others have learned from my mistakes."

My Day Just Got Better

2007-06-07T13:13:00.000-04:00

I thought today was officially in the can after the Paris debacle but thanks to my partner Kate, I have just learned that my hollywood crush is contributing to the Huffington Post! And what did I learn from reading his blog entry? That not only is Ryan Reynolds incredibly hot and a great actor and totally hilarious, but he can write! He has a brain in that pretty little head of his! All is right with the world again.
Go check it out for yourself here!

Is Britney Dating her Counsellor?

2007-06-07T11:49:00.000-04:00

Britney is said to be dating her drug counsellor, John Sundahl.

The 25-year-old rehabbed star insists that her relationship with John Sundahl is purely professional — but her soon-to-be-ex-hubby insists they’re dating and her mother is thrilled the two are supposedly seeing each other, according to the
National Enquirer. “John’s smitten with Britney,” a source described as “close
to the new couple” told the tab. “I’ve never seen him act so ridiculous with a girl. He’s so in love with her that he’s risking his career just to keep her happy.”

Britney is turning into a serial dater. This year alone she's dated this guy and this guy, and some other rumored hookups with other people I can't remember.

However, if it's true, I think it's inappropriate for her to be dating her counsellor. This will all end in tears. Lynn Spears is also reported to be pleased with the relationship and thinks that "this guy is exactly what Britney needs to turn her life around.” Haven't they all been what she needed?

Sundahl is 38 yrs old, and a successful and wealthy real estate developer. Maybe he's still on drugs if he's this interested in the out of control wreck that is Britney.

BREAKING NEWS: LA Sheriff Press Conference

2007-06-07T10:07:00.000-04:00

First of all, I don't think Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. spokesperson Steve Whitmore was aware that the microphones where on when he said the following: "If I was doing any better, I'd have to be twins to enjoy it!" he is obviously pretty happy to be rid of Paris and the circus that follows her.

"...after extensive consultation (which he later clarified as "dozens of consultations over 3 or 4 days.") with medical personnel, Paris Hilton will be reassigned to our electronic monitoring system. This means that she will be confined to her home for the next 40 days. Her sentence is now back up to 45 days. She will now be under the supervision of the LA County Probation Department."

Medical personnel?? Give me a break!! They totally fell for her crying act. I can't believe this. Whitmore went on to say that he cannot release details about her medical 'condition' due to confidentiality. But he did assure us that she does not have a staph infection. Nice.

This is such crap. So she gets to go home to her big giant mansion, have all her friends over and party in the privacy of her own home for 40 days. This is sending such a great example.
My favorite comment from the press was this on: "She played you like a puppet on a string!" Fantastic.

What the.....????

2007-06-07T08:56:00.000-04:00

TMZ is reporting that Paris is already out of the pokey!!! She was initially sentenced to 45 days which got shortened to 23 but she has only served 3! THREE!! The LA County Sheriff's Department is holding a news conference this morning so we will soon find out how this spoiled brat managed this one.

George Will Be Back!

2007-06-06T15:37:00.000-04:00

Good news George O'Malley fans! Entertainment Weekly is reporting that T.R. Knight has agreed to a new contract to stay put on Grey's Anatomy next year!

"According to one insider close to the negotiation, Knight has agreed to a new contract that will boost his per-episode salary to roughly $125,000 and give him
a small piece of the show profits (pay hikes and profit points were also granted to many of Knight's co-stars, including Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo, and Sandra Oh)."

But what about trouble maker Isaiah Washington?

"Still up in the air: the fate of Washington, whose character, the arrogant Preston Burke, appeared to flee Seattle in the finale. That said, the same insider hints that Washington will be back as a series regular (though without the boost in pay rewarded to his co-stars)."

In other Grey's news, Patrick Dempsey told MSNBC that he wasn't all that into the depressing season,

"I would love for Derek and Meredith to have a healthy relationship. It got a little too depressing last year."

Ellen Pomeo agrees,

"I don't think you need sadness to have drama."

Wow. They are really speaking their mind about the show. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, kids!

Cinderella Story of the Day

2007-06-06T11:18:00.000-04:00

Justin Timberlake has signed Esmee Denters to his new record label. 18-year-old Esmee is a huge YouTube hit who by singing covers of Alanis Morrisette and Alicia Keys has gotten 21 views. Justin must have liked what he heard because he is making all her dreams come true.

"Esmee is the real deal and I cannot wait for the world to hear her."

Denters will be joining Justin on his tour this summer too! Lucky, lucky girl!

"Words can't describe how amazing it is. I am so excited!" Denters says in a statement. "It is something I have always dreamed of doing. I have to thank YouTube and its viewers for giving me the opportunity to show the world my voice. I also have to thank Justin, one of the biggest artists in the world, for believing in me and making my dreams come true."

Check out one of her songs here.

Lindsay's Mom is a Big Fat Liar

2007-06-06T09:20:00.000-04:00

Contact Music is reporting that Dina Lohan lied about being a professional dancer with The Rockettes according to an investigation done by The New York Post. She also made up her claim that she was in the theatre and TV ads. One source told the paper,

"It's like claiming to have a degree from Harvard when you don't. It's a big deal to be a Rockette. Look in SAG. Look in AFTRA. Dina isn't a member. She never did a Broadway show. She never did ads."

Woops. Doesn't pay to lie now does it? I wonder if this will hurt her reality show that is in the works with E! called Mom-ager which is supposed to follow her efforts to get Lindsay's younger brother and sister into Hollywood. The idea that anyone would give this so called mom a job is beyond me. We all know how well she has done with Lindsay! How about if we let her do the talking though (from April's Harper's Bazaar),

"We're just so misunderstood. My sons are in sports; my daughters want to be actors. I was in the business, and I'm going to help them. You don't like that? I'm living the American dream."

Posh is Glamorous

2007-06-06T09:16:00.000-04:00

OH NO!!! Posh forgot to put her skirt on at the Glamor Woman of the Year Awards in London yesterday, and no one told her!!!!!

Posh must still be in shock over her shoe faux pas with Cameron Diaz at the MTV Awards

"I couldn't believe it when I walked in and saw Cameron in the same shoes as me. We both just looked at each other and laughed. "Cameron was so lovely and I couldn't believe how pretty and gorgeous she was in the flesh."

.

Translation: "I can't believe that lame bitch Diaz has the same pair of shoes as meeeee!! Of course, my petite feet look so much better in them!!!"

Jen Snags a Hot Model

2007-06-06T09:03:00.000-04:00

People is all excited to reveal Jennifer Anisont's 'mystery man'. He is 36-year-old British model Paul Sculfor and according to the sleuths at People, they have been dating for 'several weeks'. Eat your heart out Brad!! They even got his ex-girlfriend, London socialite Lady Victoria Hervey to talk about him,
"He's a lovely guy. A gentleman. Simple things, like opening doors, he does all that. he'll think of the woman before himself."
He is super hot, I'll give him that! He was a former boxer and construction worker turned model and currently under contract with New York Model Management. You can see a clip from his British commercial for Levi's and another photo over at People. Yowza!

What the Hell?

2007-06-05T08:52:00.000-04:00

I am beyond confused. Is that seriously Kim Kardashian's ass?? Implants?? Someone, please, help me figure this one out!

Momma Spears Pulls Out of The View

2007-06-05T08:42:00.001-04:00

So much for getting a view into Britney's world. Her mom, Lynne Spears, has cancelled her appearance on The View today. Damn.

Sunday TV Semi-Review

2007-06-05T08:12:00.000-04:00

I finally got around to watching Lifetime's Write and Wrong and Army Wives last night. First, Write and Wrong. I really loved this one. It was great to see Kirstie Alley back in action and I thought she was hilarious. I'll admit that it took about a half hour to really pull me in, at first I had my thumb poised over the delete button. I wasn't buying 'Jason' as the 'hot nephew' who was pawning his Aunt Birdie's (Alley) scripts off as his own. But something happened by minute 35, he totally sucked me in. I somehow got past the awful hair and need of a shave and found him totally adorable and funny. The show was a great escape and very enjoyable.

I wish I could say the same for Army Wives. Lifetime was pimping it like mad not only in the weeks leading up to it's debut but during Write and Wrong as well. They had a stupid count down clock in the corner during the entire 2 hours before, with all this hype, I was really looking forward to it. What to say...I thought it was dull. Dull, dull, dull. There wasn't a single character that I was able to get behind, and for me, that is key. There has to be someone that I'm cheering. It was trying to be dramatic and funny at the same time, kind of like Grey's Anatomy, but the dramatic parts were not all that dramatic, just soapy and the funny parts were far from laugh out loud. I'm going to give it one more episode to see if maybe I'm being too quick to judge before I delete my season pass. This one has to do something big quick or it's a goner.

Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafuoco are getting married!! Yes! Married! For those of you born after 1992, Amy Fisher had an affair with a married Buttafuoco when she was just 16 years old. Then she decided it would be a good idea to go knock on his door and shot his wife in the face. She was convicted and served seven years in prison. Now is seems the wacky couple has reconciled and are planning to marry. Not so fast you crazy kids! You have to get by Dr. Phil first! Producer David Krieff says,

"This will be an extreme edition of Dr. Phil's House. Joey and Amy just represent a slice of American relationships that really touched everybody."

In other words, they move into the 'Dr. Phil House' and get premarital counseling from the Dr. Page Six is reporting that to make matters even stranger, their ex-spouses, Mary Jo and Lou Bellera might move in the house as well. Fisher and Buttafuoco released a statement yesterday,

Desperate for attention maybe?

The Starter Wife: Review

2007-06-04T10:17:00.000-04:00

If you missed the premier of The Stater Wife you can watch it on-line right now!!. Yes it was totally worth it!!

Last week we were excited about watching The Starter Wife and it didn't disappoint. Debra Messing was fabulous as Molly Kagan, the dumped Hollywood Wife. She wasn't scared to go without makeup, and she looked natural and pretty. It was definitely a night-time soap, but a good one. The story skipped along with Molly moving to her friends beach house for the summer after she is dumped by her Hollywood exec husband, and shunned by all, even one of her best friends, Cricket (played by Miranda Otto). Her other best friend, (Judy Davis) has been sent to rehab by her husband, and she spends her days making up memories so her therapist thinks she's making progress and will let her out sooner.

Of course there is a new love interest, Sam, who keeps bumping into Molly accidentally on purpose at the beach.

The ending was a bit of a cliff hanger, with another love interest for Molly seen drinking himself into oblivion and then walking into the ocean.

The cast was great, the story entertaining and interesting, the clothes and Messing's beach hats were fabulous and I'm sad that there are only three episodes left!!

Smug Mug

2007-06-04T08:39:00.000-04:00

Here's Paris Hilton's mug shot taken by the LA County Sheriff's Department. Paris surrendered herself to the authorities last night after the MTV Movie Awards, where Sarah Silverman showed no mercy to Paris and her impending jail term.

Apparently she went in late last night to avoid the paparazzi. TMZ has the full scoop

Most Uncomfortable Moment...But Oh So Good!

2007-06-03T20:06:00.000-04:00

I'm pretty sure even though we are only 8 minutes in, we just experienced the most uncomfortable moment of the 2007 MTV Movie Awards. In Sarah Silverman's opening monologue, she said:

"In a couple of days, Paris Hilton is going to jail." Crowd applauds and cheers and generally goes wild, cut to Paris Hilton. Silverman goes on to say that to make her feel more comfortable, they were going to make the prison bars look like penises. Then she said "I'm just worried she'll break her teeth." Crowd goes nuts. Cut to Paris. Serious scowl on her face! She looked like she was either going to cry or rush the stage and kill her! Wow!! Silverman is not holding back, that's for sure!

Update: Click here to relive Sarah's full opening monologue at the MTV Awards

Paris at the MTV Movie Awards!

2007-06-03T19:50:00.001-04:00

I have to say that I was shocked that Paris actually showed up at the MTV Movie Awards. She was wearing a black dress with about 9 trillion ruffles. She was very serious, serious for Paris anyway. She hardly cracked a smile, and that one only came when she was thanked for coming and called 'courageous' for facing the crowd. When asked how she was doing, she said,

"I'm scared but I'm strong. I'm ready to serve my sentence and I hope setting an example for other young people and the decisions they make."

Yeah, right. Your just pissed you got caught and that your name didn't get you out of it.

Tune in Tuesday!

2007-06-03T19:30:00.000-04:00

On Tuesday, June 6th (aka: Paris goes to jail day), Britney Spears' mother, Lynne Spears will be on The View! They used to have a tight relationship but Brit cut her off after her quick stint in rehab. I'm hoping for momma Spears to dish all to the ladies at The View. And now that Rosie is gone, it will actually be watchable.

Happy Belated Birthday!

2007-06-03T19:24:00.000-04:00

Wentworth Miller turned 35 on Saturday! I am missing my Monday night hotty fix; can't wait for Prison Break to return. Hubba Hubba!

Poor Paris...hahaha!

2007-06-03T19:07:00.000-04:00

Warner Brother's Music Group has announced that they have dropped Paris Hilton. All together now, awwww. Rumor has it that they are pretty unhappy after investing $250,000 in a video for her '06 single, Stars Are Blind, and a promotional tour that brought in less than half a million in record sales. A rep for Warner Brothers said, "We are not expecting any new Paris Hilton material in the foreseeable future." Ouch! The fact that she'll be an ex-con can't be helping her either! Speaking of, let the countdown begin - Paris is set to report to the pokey on Tuesday!

Sunday Night TV

2007-06-03T18:19:00.000-04:00

I am pretty excited about TV tonight. Just when I thought the summer blahs had started, I actually have three things to watch...well, make that four if you count the mindless but always hilarious Larry the Cable Guy special on Comedy Central at 8:00 est. I'll be tivo'ing that one.

The MTV Movie Awards are live for the first time ever this year starting at 7:30 est and are hosted by Sarah Silverman. I fully admit that I'm watching mainly for the red carpet to see what everyone is wearing and will be watching closely for any wardrobe malfunctions.

I also want to check out the two new shows debuting on Lifetime tonight - Kirstie Alley's Write & Wrong which sounds hilarious. The synopsis is a once famous screenwriter (Alley) is having a hard time finding work because she is approacing her fiftieth birthday so she enlists her hot nephew, a car salesman, to pitch her work as his own and of course, fools everyone in the process. I don't think Kate is too into this one so I'll be sure and pay extra attention.

Then we both are looking foward to Army Wives immediately following it. Army Wives is being pushed hard because it's executive producer Mark Gordon is the very same Mark Gordon behind Grey's Anatomy so it must be good...right? According to the website, "Life as an Army spouce is never dull, especially for the four women and one man who are the center of this dramatic series...these characters will form an unlikely alliance as they help on another through the unthinkable, and protect each other's darkest secrets." OK, so they had me at Grey's Anatomy producer but for sure pulled me in with 'darkest secrets', break out the ice cream!

Posh Pulls the Plug on TV Show?

2007-06-03T17:50:00.000-04:00

Kate and I are pretty unhappy with Posh. There has been an evil rumor floating around that she may pull out of her reality TV show. The show was to be based on her move to the U.S. with her family and set to air on NBC. But it looks like family comes before career for Mrs. Beckham. TMZ is reporting that the rumor is in fact true quoting a source from The Mirror.

"the TV series was a great launchpad for her career...but she felt she was being pushed into a corner and David was obviously always going to take priority."

The official word from her rep came in yesterday.

"Victoria has had great fun filming the show. However the schedule was incredibly tight and it is up to the network what happens next."

So I'm not sure that she is 100% done, but my guess is that she is unhappy that the network wanted her to tape when she was already committed to watching husband David play soccer in his final European games. There is also talk floating around that the series could turn out to be an hour long special instead.

I guess we have to give her props for putting her family first, but damn were we looking forward to that show!

Debra Opri Kidnapps Money

2007-06-01T16:58:00.000-04:00

I mentioned a couple of days ago that Larry Birkhead was going to come out of this whole non-payment of legal bills fiasco smelling like a rose. I have just proven correct!

Apparently Debra Opri pulled a fast one on Larry Birkhead, and instead of passing along money he earned giving exclusive interviews to Access Hollywood and BravoTV, she instructed Larry's agent and NBC to put the money in her client trust account. And then never gave it to Larry, and then had the nerve to send a bill to Larry and then sue him for not paying, even though she has his money already and he can't use it to pay her.

Confused? Me too. All I know is that Larry is totally vindicated for not paying his bill and Opri comes away from this looking really, really bad!!

To read the whole sad and sorry saga, click here to go to TMZ and read the story

Kate Has a Hand on Her Knee!

2007-06-01T14:06:00.000-04:00

Is it possible that Kate Middleton has moved on already? Since her split with Prince William in April, Kate has been seen out and about hitting the clubs and looking fantastic. On Wednesday night, she was seen with a 'mystery man' and friends at the Mahiki club in London. The London Paper reports,

"Kate and her date were getting close at their table. She was in unusually high spirits. She had a table within the VIP section and was dancing around."

The sources go on to claim that as they left, Kate and "The Man" got into a car together and he...gasp!...put his hand on her knee and they "giggled together". Well, sure sounds serious to me.

Aniston Pimps smartwater

2007-06-01T13:28:00.000-04:00

Jennifer Aniston has put her name and face to smartwater by signing on as the new spokeswoman. There will be 'signature bottles' in stores this July in addition to an ad campaign. The Senior Vice President of smartwater released the following statement:

“We were thrilled that Jennifer discovered smartwater and realized what a difference it makes to her healthy lifestyle. To us, Jennifer truly embodies what smartwater is all about as she combines substance and style like nobody else.”
The company also issued a statement stating that, “Jennifer became an immediate fan. She believes so much in smartwater that she recently became an investor in the company and is even getting actively involved in the business.”

This will be her first product endorsment here in the U.S. although she has been involved with such products as Heineken, L'Oreal and Damiani jewelry overseas.
So, will seeing her face next to a smartwater bottle make you drink more water?

Shiloh Turns One!!

2007-05-31T16:21:00.001-04:00

Can you believe a whole year has passed since the frenzy of the impending birth of the golden child of Brangelina, and then the frenzy over the People photo shoot and the $4 million price tag for Shiloh pics? Me either.

Anyway, US Magazine celebrates by putting a photo of Shiloh on their cover this week.

Shiloh is an absolutely stunning baby, but don't you think she looks like something out of The Crucible with that weird hood on?

The Starter Wife

2007-05-31T15:50:00.000-04:00

In keeping with this weeks chick lit theme, Mia and I will definitely be Tivoing The Starter Wife on USA at 9/8c tonight!

Debra Messing is the leading lady in this four part series:

At first blush, the smart, beautiful, savvy and wryly funny Molly Kagan (Debra Messing), 41, may appear to be leading the charmed life as a prototypical Hollywood "Wife Of" and mother of the adorable six-year-old Jaden, but her life is about to become anything but typical. When her husband and the President of Production of Durango Pictures, Kenny, announces that he is divorcing Molly, he manages to instantly render her a "Starter Wife" and social pariah with a single phone call. Once she realizes that she has been given a do-over, the question for her becomes: what to do now?

The mini series is adapted from the book The Starter Wife by Gigi Levangie Grazer, who was once a starter wife herself, and felt the bitter sting of rejection when she had a separation from her producer husband, Brian Grazer.

The series also stars Judy Davis and Miranda Otto.

I can't wait! Something decent to watch in this horrible TV wasteland they call summer.

Lindsay's Ex is Charming

2007-05-31T10:29:00.001-04:00

Calum Best, recently linked with Lindsay Lohan, told The Sun that he is addicted to booze, drugs and hookers. Nice. I'm sure he helped Lohan stay on the right path....oh wait, she is back on the wrong path again, isn't she.

"I'm a bad boy, I go out and get drunk," he tells The Sun. "I get high on cocaine and I do stupid debauched things with the wrong women. 'When I'm high I do stupid shit. I'm a red-blooded male and I'm addicted to sex. 'I feel my dad's blood running through my veins. I need to sort out my problems before it's too late. I don't want to be a sad old man on my own drowning my sorrows. 'This is a wake-up call. I've got to take responsibility for my life."

Quite the interview. Doesn't leave much to the imagination. I wonder how Lindsay feels about being called one of 'the wrong women'? Hopefully she doesn't get The Sun in rehab.

It's sort of slow today, so here's something to totally waste your time if you are bored, Craigslist Missed Connections. Time will fly by and it's entertaining. I just can't image that if some guy gave me a sideways glance in the subway that I'd rush home and check Craigslist incase he left me a message!!

Opri Sues Birkhead.

2007-05-30T09:09:00.000-04:00

Debra Opri has filed suit against Larry Birkhead for his unpaid legal bill of over $600,000.

Debra Opri wants to force binding arbitration under the terms of a contract in which she agreed to represent Birkhead in September, according to the lawsuit filed in Superior Court.

Opri was Birkhead's lawyer in his paternity dispute with Anna Nicole Smith, over Dannielynn. It was ultimately proven that Dannielynn is Birkhead's biological daughter and he now has custody of her. Back in April Opri served Birkhead with a bill for $620,000.

On his website, Larry Birkhead makes this cryptic statement:

BILLS: I HAVE NOT MADE ANY COMMENT REGARDING AN ATTORNEY'S BILL. I HAVE REMAINED SILENT ON THIS ISSUE AND RELATED ISSUES IN THE PAST AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE SO IN THE FUTURE.

Of course, that statement has been up on his website for quite sometime, so I guess he's sticking to his guns and not talking to Opri about it either!.

I can't really believe that Opri is suing Birkhead over this. I understand that she wants her money, but she could come to some sort of agreement with him, after all, Opri has received incredible publicity from this case, and she couldn't buy that kind of publicity if she wanted to.

UPDATE: Larry Birkhead released an official statement to TMZ:

Despite their filings, both Ms. Opri and her attorney received notification making them aware that I would be out of the state of California taking care of my daughter until the conclusion of an upcoming June custody hearing in the Bahamas. Although at this time, the public is not aware of the unbelievable circumstances which led to me firing Ms. Opri, the only question at the end of the day is, how much money will Debra Opri be paying me? Thanks to the efforts of my Bahamas attorney, Emerick Knowles, I am fortunate enough now to be spending time with my daughter, Dannielynn.

A)Larry is going to come out of this smelling like a rose - I can just tell

B) How come everyone is now releasing their official statements directly to TMZ? Lohan just did that and now Larry?

Nicole is Hilarious

2007-05-30T00:40:00.000-04:00

So we all have heard about how Nicole Richie had a little bbq on Memorial Day and that Mischa Barton was there and decided to drink even though she was on antibiotics for her bronchitis and that got her sent to the hospital, blah, blah, blah...she is home now, all is well, moving on. Now the big dirt coming out of that party is the email invitation that Nicole herself sent out to all her gal pals, Us Magazine gives us the scoop,

"Let's glorify this day in your sluttiest tops and your tightest pair of tsubi jeans, even though we have no...clue what Memorial Day really means!!...There will be a scale at the front door. No girls over 100 pounds allowed in. Start starving yourself now. See you all then!!!"

Richie is taking all kinds of heat for the email. Her reps gave a statement to Us saying,

This invitation was sent via email to her friends who understand that she was responding in a joking manner to the constant untruths printed about her in the media. Her reference to Memorial Day was in no way meant to offend anyone but was simply an expression of her distaste for the current situation."

Please. Someone. Please make it stop. Obviously Nicole is trying to have a sense of humor about what is written about her in the tabloids. But, having said that, she had to have known that somehow, someone would leak it so why write it? I can only take so much more of these chicks. But I can't wait to see what they do next! Oh, and as a side note, why is it that so many of these woman choose to walk around barefoot? Gross!

Lindsay's Statement....

2007-05-30T00:28:00.000-04:00

.....via her rep, of course.

"Lindsay admitted herself to an intensive medical rehabilitation facility on Memorial Day. Because this is a medical matter, it is our hope that the press will appreciate the seriousness of the situation and respect the privacy of Lindsay as well as the other patients receiving treatment at the facility."

Medical my ass. Girlfriend is a drunken dummy.

Book Reviews!

2007-05-29T12:15:00.000-04:00

Mia and I have been in a reading frenzy this last week Mia has just finished Hollywood Car Wash, and I have, in a marathon session, finished A Model Summer,The Second Assistant and I'm almost finished The First Assistant, and just about to start Hollywood Car Wash.

Of course, this is all totally fabulous chick lit, 100% enjoyable.

A Model Summer, by Paulina Porizkova was an engrossing and easy read. It was a little bit deeper than your average chick lit book, but no less entertaining. Clearly it was based heavily on her own life and breakthrough into the world of modeling. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the ending, which was sort of abrupt and left you hanging. I hope Porizkova left it like that so she can write a sequel, because I'd definitely read it.

The Second Assistant, by Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare. I just loved this book. Not only is it totally hilarious, it's a fantastic looked inside the inner workings of a real Hollywood Agency. It's light reading, but totally engrossing. I read it in two days! Highly recommended for summer reading.

The First Assistant: A Continuing Tale from Behind the Hollywood Curtain, by Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare. This is the sequel to The Second Assistant, and although it is still entertaining, it doesn't quite measure up to the first one and the story is a bit all over the place. There are a lot of thinly veiled references to A list celebs that you will recognize instantly, and it's fun to read just for the closure you'll get for the romantic sub-plot.

All in all, three great summer reads!!

Miss USA Falls Flat

2007-05-29T12:09:00.000-04:00

The Miss USA pageant and beauty queens are really a wacky bunch compared to the snores over at the Miss America pageant. In another "YouTube" moment, poor Miss USA, Rachael Smith, got her heel caught in her dress and went straight down on her butt. I can not believe how fast she recovered and jumped up, maintaining perfect posture the whole time. She should have won just for remaining calm under pressure. Miss Japan ended up taking the Miss Universe crown.

Rosie Says It Was the Split Screen

2007-05-29T11:22:00.000-04:00

Rosie has said it was the split screen used during her fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday's The View, that upset her and made her decided not to return to The View to complete her contract.

Rosie is seen here on her blog in a video she made on Saturday night - talking about the situation. She doesn't look good.

This morning on The View, Barbara Walters addressed the situation, and reiterated that it was solely Rosie's decision to leave The View early and that she had spent all weekend sending affectionate emails back and forward with Rosie. Barf.

Then a very perky Elisabeth put her two cents in and said that she had been "in communication" with Rosie and they were discovering the "power of forgiveness". In other words, they have agreed never to speak to each other again.

Thirty seconds after I typed the above sentence - I found this story confirming that they will never speak again.

Promises, Promises,

2007-05-29T10:57:00.000-04:00

After her DUI arrest on Saturday night, and the New York Post is reporting that Lindsay was back partying hard on Sunday and passed out in the car.

A series of shocking photos show a rubber-limbed Lohan stumbling out of the trendy club Teddy's at the Roosevelt Hotel, then sprawled in the front passenger seat of her black GMC, her head lolling back, her mouth agape and her heavy-lidded eyes firmly shut. Lohan was so out of it, a witness said, that she wasn't even aware of the flashes from paparazzi snapping the photos.

So, apparently Lindsay is checking into Promises rehab facility today. She's probably trying to do damage control on the whole situation. The cops have stated that a "useable" amount of cocaine was found in Lindsay's car on Saturday after the crash, so that adds to the trouble she's in, not to mention the underage drinking, and the continued underage drinking after the crash.

Hilariously, her father, Michael Lohan said "She's on the run now, things are only going to get worse from here". Hahahaha. Lindsay would have to be the most photographed person in Hollywood. I don't know how she could be on the run, as the pack of paparazzi always seem to know where she is.

I hope she takes her stint in Promises seriously, otherwise she's going to end up dying young.

X17 Online has all the pics!

Throw Her in Jail with Paris.....

2007-05-26T20:44:00.000-04:00

Lindsay Lohan has been cited for DUI after crashing her Mercedes early this morning. Lindsay was admitted to a local hospital suffering minor injuries. She wasn't taken into custody, but was given a court date

Forgodssakes Lindsay!!!!!! Why, girl? Why? We were half buying the rehab story, but now we know you just got a nice rest while you were in Wonderland, pretending to be in rehab.

I hope they throw you in the slammer next door to Paris, at this stage, it's your only hope.

It's Official...

2007-05-25T17:05:00.000-04:00

Rosie is definitely leaving The View three weeks early, after Wednesday's big fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

Brian Frons, President of ABC Daytime, issued the following statement:"We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to 'The View' and wish her well."

Rosie herself said this: "I'm extremely grateful. It's been an amazing year and I love all three women."

Wow - I am so surprised that Rosie is quitting early. She couldn't have just made nice and worked out her three weeks? There must have been so much more going on over at The View than we'll ever know, to make it that unbearable for Rosie to go on - or she's taking the easy way out. I'll be very interested to hear what Barbara Walters has to say on Tuesday.

In the meantime Barbara - if your looking for a couple of new co-hosts Mia and I would like to apply. We're very chatty and keep up with current events! Email us!!

Meanwhile - Trump has managed to get his two cents worth in as well - click here to see what he had to say

Paula Lied??

2007-05-25T14:03:00.000-04:00

There is another story floating around today about Paula's alleged broken nose. And that story is that she didn't actually break her nose! What's going on here?

According to Page Six, Paula didn't trip over her dog at all!!

"It hurt so bad . . . I fractured my toe, as well," Abdul told reporters. But a source tells us it's a coverup. "Paula did not break her nose. She had pitched a fit, threw something into a mirror or glass object, and a shard of glass struck her in the face, which explains why Paula's nose didn't seem swollen," said our spy. A rep for Abdul termed the account "absolutely, categorically untrue."

Hmmm. If this is true - I would love to know what Paula was pitching a fit about, and why would she tell a big lie about her nose? She could have said she had an accident unpacking the dishwasher!!

Did Rosie Trash Elisabeth's Dressing Room?

2007-05-25T13:31:00.000-04:00

Rumors are going around that Rosie was so furious after her big fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday mornings show, that she trashed Elisabeth's dressing room. ABC is denying it.

Page Six is also reporting that several photographs of Elisabeth were defaced.

Yesterday, Rosie's chief writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly escorted from the building after she was caught drawing moustaches on photographs of Hasselbeck that hang in the "View" studios. The Post's Adam Buckman reports ABC confirmed in a statement only that "photographs at 'The View's' offices were defaced. Rosie O'Donnell was not in the building. ABC Legal and Human Resources are investigating the matter." Barber is an old friend of O'Donnell who worked with her years ago on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show."

Yesterday, Rosie had a scheduled day off and Kathy Griffin hosted the view and the "fight" was discussed only briefly. I watched The View today and it was "previously recorded", so I'm not sure what that means, but I thought that Rosie was sort of ignoring Elisabeth and talking over the top of her, so this morning was a non-event.

Rosie has been hinting on her own blog that she might not be returning to The View on Tuesday. She has also put up this very cryptic video!. What does it all mean?

I think she'll be back on Tuesday - if only to have the last word.

Rosie V Elisabeth
Rosie V Elisabeth Update

Isaiah Washington Out?

2007-05-24T08:49:00.000-04:00

Yesterday we told you that T.R. Knight, who plays George on Grey's Anatomy, is still waiting to find out if he will be back next season. Today, US Magazine is reporting that trouble maker Isaiah Washington will not be back. Still in hot water after using a slur toward T.R., US is quoting a 'source close to ABC',

"He will not be back as a series regular. He could possibly show up for a few episodes" next season.

However, Washington's rep disputes the report saying,

"Isaiah is not off the show. We do not have a contract yet, but we expect to."

So, they don't have a contract so they don't know for sure, but they are not disputing the idea of Washington possibly only doing a few guest spots. That solution makes sense to me given how the season finale had his character leave Christina at the alter and cleared out of their apartment.
US goes on to quote a 'Grey's source' saying,

"The cast - especially the women - just don't like him."

Hmmm, that's a pretty big statement. Katherine Heigl has made her feelings clear, but I'm not sure I'm willing to believe that no one likes him. Although, he did make an ass out of himself so anything is possible.

Ocean's 13

2007-05-24T07:38:00.000-04:00

How hilarious are those Ocean's 13 boys? They have been doing a bunch of interviews promoting the movie which is just fine with me. They are all such good friends and love to joke around with each other. Check out what George Clooney and Matt Damon had to say about Brad Pitt (anyone else notice the use of the word 'wife'?).

Damon: "Brad has had it tough. He's ..."
Clooney: "Hobbled with children ..."
Damon: "And that wife ..."
Clooney: "That horrible, ugly wife."
Damon: "I mean, to go home to her every day ..."
Clooney: "What do you do?"
Damon: "Well, you have your work. That's about it. You can take refuge there."

In other Ocean's 13 hottie news, at the amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS Benefit in Cannes last night, George auctioned off a kiss to benefit the cause! I'm dying to know how much the winning woman bid, how lucky is she!?

UPDATE: The kiss went for $350,000! $350,000!!!! The woman's boyfriend put the money up for it! What a guy!! Wow. $350,000. OK, I'll stop. You can see the video here.

American Idol - The Finale!!

2007-05-23T22:15:00.000-04:00

It's started!! Ryan and Simon bicker for a few seconds and then almost immediately, Blake and Jordin are singing "I Saw Her Standing There". Blake has terrible shoes on again.

Ryan throws it over to Gwen Stefani on tour. Mia thinks she's lip synching. It's hard to tell! Something's definitely off.

Kelly Clarkson!! Looking good in over the knee boots and a short dress!! She sounds fantastic!

Group song! Sanjaya still can't sing. All the guys are wearing white suits - I hate that look. Phil was allowed to take off his Navy uniform for tonight - that's a relief.

Ugh, Blake is rapping with some guy. Awful.

Now the girls! All in white as well. Gina's had a new haircut!! Haley's legs are still long.

Tony Bennett is well enough to perform and sings "Once In My Life".

Yay - Carrie Underwood is singing "I'll Stand By You". Carrie is my favorite Idol. Although she looks a bit odd wearing a long dress over jeans! Carrie is so gracious -thanks Idol and all her fans. She's very smart not to forget where she got her big break!

Sanjaya is getting his own segment - and oh my god - he's performing with Joe Perry from Aerosmith!!! What?????

GREEN DAY!!! Fantastic. The rumors were true. They sing "Working Class Hero".

The wizards at Idol have managed to coax Rubben Studdard out of hiding to sing with Jordin. Rubben still sounds great.

Poor Taylor Hicks - he had to follow Green Day.

Bette Midler - fabulous - wait - she's singing - Wind Beneath My Wings. Nooooooo. Mia and I are wondering what she's doing there - I suggested Bette needed a night out?

9:50 - only about 8 minutes left before we find out who wins.

American Idol tribute to Sgt Pepper!! Kelly Clarkson comes out first and sings Sgt Peppers, then out comes Hicks - enough said. Then Carrie again - looking so much better in a lovely short black dress and singing "She's Leaving". Suddenly she's being backed up by the Idols. They appeared out of nowhere. Rubben shows up and sings Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Is this medly ever going to end? It's 9:56 and still no winner. Now the Idols are singing "I'll get by with a little help from my Friends".

9:58 and there's a commercial. This doens't leave much time for the winner to sing "This is my Now" and sob.

10:03 - It's finally time. Ryan tells us there were 74 million votes. Simon and Randy both think it's going to be Jordin.

Dim the lights - it's JORDIN.

The crowd goes wild. She's excited. Blake doesn't really look that unhappy. Jordin expresses her love for everyone! It's over for another year!!

American Idol Finale - Red Carpet!

2007-05-23T20:26:00.000-04:00

First of all, it just blows my mind that this particular event has a red carpet, and secondly, I didn't recognize anyone from the photos except Jordin, and the ever fabulous, Bobby Trendy. His whole outfit really fits in with the entire theme of the Idol finale, don't you think?

Rosie vs. Elizabeth UPDATE

2007-05-23T19:02:00.000-04:00

Elizabeth Hasselbeck told Extra TV that all is well between her and Rosie even after this morning's blow up.

“I am fine. We are used to debating things there. You have women who care a lot about things. The best thing about today is that there’s no slow boil, none. It’s there, it’s an issue, it’s dealt with and it’s over. If there are tensions, [and] obviously there was, it’s dealt with in the moment.”
“We’ve invested a lot into our friendship. We also have a lot of passion. The best thing about us is that we are honest and deal with things up front. I honestly think, I believe that we are mature women who can resolve. I hope we can. I would hope that a disagreement or a heated debate wouldn’t be the end of a relationship. … They take work. I’m hoping that can happen here too. I don’t think that is impossible at all.”

Personally, I think Elizabeth is full of crap. I loved that she defended herself against Rosie but you can't tell me that she isn't the slightest bit pissed anymore. I'm just not buying the 'friendship' angle either. I hope that once Rosie leaves, Elizabeth will tell us how she really feels.

Does Anyone Care Anymore?

2007-05-23T15:45:00.000-04:00

Dial Idol is predicting that Jordin Sparks is well ahead of Blake Lewis in the vote for the next American Idol. But, according to Reality Blurred, Blake is ahead in internet searches.

Hitwise’s Bill Tancer breaks down the search data for Time, finding that Blake’s
lead has decreased, at least among searchers. He “is edging out 17-year-old
Jordin Sparks by just 25%. Compare that to his searches for the prior week,
which were 270% more numerous than Jordin’s.”

I can explain the 270% ahead from the prior week. It was because of this report. It was off the charts in searches on just one day!

Also, I heard a report on MSNBC today that Blake hopes that Jordin will win tonight. I'll bet he does because he thinks he's going to be the next Daughtry.

Personally, I think that this has been the most boring season of Idol ever, and I'm glad it's all going to be over tonight, and we can start concentrating on Pirate Master

Rosie V Elisabeth

2007-05-23T15:30:00.001-04:00

Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie went at it on The View this morning. There's something about this fight that puts us on Elisabeth's side - which is shocking in itself!! It's long but worth it.

Is He Or Isn't He??

2007-05-23T14:22:00.000-04:00

We are all dying to know if T.R. Knight will be back as lovable George next season on Grey's Anatomy. Apparently we are not the only ones being kept in the dark. T.R. tells Access Hollywood that he doesn't even know!

"I literally don't know. It would be nice to know if I'm supposed to report back soon. If you're supposed to report back to work in a month and a half, I would really like to know that because I would like to know if I can shave my head."

I would think that they would keep him on for sure. Isaiah Washington, on the other hand, is probably out...no pun intended.

Oprah Gets Daddy to Zip it

2007-05-23T14:11:00.000-04:00

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Oprah called her father, Vernon Winfrey, to question him about the memoir rumors. As we told you yesterday, Oprah was said to be 'shocked' when she learned from Page Six that Mr. Winfrey was penning "Things Unspoken" about his daughter. Today, TV Guide is reporting that the book is officially 'on hold".

Vernon Winfrey, who still runs a Nashville barbershop, told TV Guide in an exclusive interview. "There is no book," he says, denying reports that he's been peddling a memoir titled Things Unspoken. "We might think about it later on," he went on to say. If he does decide to do it "later," Vernon's not sure if he'd want to collaborate with Oprah, whose book-club efforts have helped sell millions of copies of the works featured on her show. "Well, I don't know," says Vernon. "We have to decide."

When Vernon was pressed as to if Oprah herself talked him out of writing the book, he got a bit defensive saying,

"It's just on hold right now, OK?"

Ok, Ok. Geesh. I bet he got paid off.

Janet Jackson on US Weekly

2007-05-23T07:54:00.000-04:00

Janet Jackson is Us Weekly's cover girl this week and gives them a peek at how she keeps looking so hot....check out those abs! She says that she is finally in a good place after all her yo-yo weight issues, now down to 120 lbs!

On how you can look like her: “If I can do it, anybody can do it. Eating light and clean helps, but you really shouldn’t think of it as a diet, otherwise you feel like you’re depriving yourself. If you crave something, you should have a little bit of it, then let it go and move on. Do a little exercise so you’re back on track.”  

On eating right: “It’s about control and it’s a balanced diet. Of course I have cheat days! Especially with my dancers, who love to eat. And after a hard day of work, they want to unwind and grab a drink, and alcohol is not good for my diet with all the extra calories. I try to have a glass of wine, but then somebody comes with a lemon drop and it’s so good. You feel like you’re drinking cough syrup or candy, and before you know it, the next day comes and you feel it. I make up for it with a few more reps when I lift weights.” 

Seems to be working for her! She looks incredible! And her advice sounds a bit easier to follow than Gabrielle Reece's.

This Is My Now

2007-05-23T07:15:00.000-04:00

It definitely was Jordin Sparks' NOW last night, as she out classed and out sang and out dressed Blake Lewis every step of the way during American Idol.

The winning song from the writing competition "This is my Now" wasn't too bad at all and Jordin sung it with such passion that she couldn't even hold it together at the end and started to cry. Blake couldn't hold it together for other reasons, it was obvious he hated the song and didn't really put that much into performing it. He was probably mesmerized by his own hideous gold shoes. Where did he get those?

Overall Simon said that Blake performed the first song the best, but Jordin "wiped the floor" with him in the the singing department. Paula loved everyone equally, and Randy, dressed as some throwback from Sgt Pepper, liked Blake but gave the night to Jordin.

Ryan made a point of mentioning Paula's broken nose and then called her dog a bitch, but implying that he was really talking about Paula. She took it well.

Jordin to win it all!!

Angie's Going To Take a Year Off and Give Brad a Well Deserved Break!

2007-05-22T16:12:00.001-04:00

In an interview given at Cannes today, Angelina Jolie has revealed that after this project in Prague, and then another two month project, she will be taking a year off to be with her family. Brad Pitt's sigh of relief was heard throughout Cannes. Brad was back at the villa taking care of the four kids while Angie was giving this interview. Brad has been toting those kids all over the place by himself lately!! I'm also worried about Maddox - that poor kid doesn't know if he's coming or going, all those different schools and interruptions - it can't be good for him. Maybe Angie is going to stay in New Orleans for a year so Maddox can do 1st grade without changing schools?

(Doesn't Brad look hot in that tux?)

Gabrielle Reece's Summer Diet Plan

2007-05-22T11:07:00.000-04:00

Professional volleyball player Gabby Reece has a diet plan for us and she assures us that it will be easy!

"Monday: Eat healthy. This means...
No soda or juice, only water. No pasta, bread, or white stuff. No white milk, sugar, flour, rice, etc. - nothing processed. Nothing from a jar, the frozen-food section, a bag, or that has an extended shelf life. Stay away from the microwave - cook with good old fashion fire. Load up on veggies. Make sure to eat a big breakfast. Watch your portions. Chill on the snacking.Get some good sleep, even if you have to force yourself to go to bed. No late-night eating.

Wednesday and Friday: Do the same as Monday. See how you feel. Check your mood and energy level.

Tuesday, Thursday, and the weekend: Live your life as you normally do. Don't react from the day before and go nuts. Just do what you normally do.

Now, on the days you're eating healthy, do some kind of activity — walk, run, ride a bike, lift weights, go shoot hoops, take a fitness or dance class — just do something. Move. Watch less TV and spend less time on the computer."

So basically, I'd eat nothing on Monday, Wednesday and Friday because other than fresh vegetables, I'd have no clue what to reach for then by Tuesday and Thursday, I'd be so damn starving, I'd plow through a full package of Oreos and a pound of pasta. Ok! Whose with me?!

Spice Girls Reunion?

2007-05-22T10:36:00.000-04:00

It seems the Spice Girls are making a come back....oh yay! News of the World is reporting that they have shots of Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton coming out of a 'top-secret' recording session this week.

Ginger and Baby Spice could hardly contain their joy, jumping up and down, giggling and hugging each other after laying down vocal tracks for their first CD in seven years at their former producer's home on Tuesday. Emma, 31, and Geri, 34, were seen leaving Richard Stannard's £4m house. Mel C, 33, is thought to have been there. Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham, and Scary, Mel B—who are both in Los Angeles—will fly to England to record their parts in a few weeks.

The Spice Girls split in 2001 after selling 50 million records. According to an 'aide', the driving force behind the comeback is Victoria Beckham herself. Gee, what a coincidence that she just happens to be filming her new reality show!

Oprah's Daddy to Pen a Tell-All

2007-05-22T10:19:00.001-04:00

Oprah Winfrey's father is said to be writing a book dishing about all things Oprah called "Things Unspoken" and apparently, Oprah had no idea. The Daily News called her to get a comment and she says she was blind sided because it was the first she had heard about it and added that she is "shocked" and "disappointed".

"One of my assistants said, 'The Daily News is calling. They say they heard your father is writing a book about you.' I said, 'That's impossible. I can assure them it's not true.' But then my sister said, 'I think you should call your father.' I called him and it turned out he is writing a book. The worst part of it was him saying, 'I meant to tell you I've been working on it.' The last person in the world to be doing a book about me is Vernon Winfrey," O added. "The last person."

She sounds totally shocked for sure. I wonder if she is worried about anything he might write about? I think I'll be reading this one for sure!

Paula Breaks Her Nose

2007-05-22T08:31:00.000-04:00

Paula Abdul has broken her nose trying to stop herself tripping over her dog!! Her dog is a Chihuahua. Abdul wasn't admitted to the hospital, so she's probably not in bad shape, and her publicist has confirmed that Paula will be at tonight's performance of American Idol.

"I took a nasty fall ... trying not to hurt my dog. I bruised myself on my arm ... my chest, my waist all the way down to my hip. All from my little chubby Tulip," Abdul said.

Paula probably did this on purpose so she'd have an excuse to get loopy on painkillers so she can get through a whole hour with Blake Lewis singing three songs, and keep a smile on her face when he yodels the required treacly ballad. Jordin's yodelling will be much more bearable.

I can't wait. I'm sure Paula will provide us some unintended comedy tonight.

Joan Rivers is Honest

2007-05-22T07:47:00.000-04:00

Joan Rivers is currently in Britain where she judged the Miss Great Britain contest. In a very honest, and hilarious, interview with The Daily Mail, she gives a bit of insight into her many plastic surgeries. Rivers is 73 but looks like....well....a 73 year old trying to look 43.

"Look around," she says. "I am not a supermodel. I am not the one the men fall hopelessly in love with. I did not come from the lucky sperm club with all the money."
Is that why she has had so much work done? How ugly was the teenage Joan Rivers — or rather, how ugly did she think she was?
"I was not the prettiest girl in the class," she admits. "I was a very ordinary girl. If you come from my family your mother tells you over and over again that you are the most beautiful and wonderful thing and suddenly you go to school and you realise you're a pig."
And so she set out to remake her face, although she claims Hollywood is full of new faces. "An albatross around my neck," she calls it — she is the only one who's honest about it. "I have done what everyone does in California," she says. "Goldie Hawn has a totally different face from when she started. I believe in plastic surgery," she says.

She goes on about her surgeries which include (but are probably not limited to) an eye lift, two face lifts, at least one nose job and massive amounts of botox and says that her plastic surgeon now refuses to see her. She also talks about the guilt she still feels about her husband's suicide. He killed himself just two days after she left him. She was having liposuction when he died. But, to lighten up the mood a bit, here is my favorite quote from the interview:

"My motto is 'better a new face coming out of an old car than an old face coming out of a new car'. Spend your money on you."

It's a great interview. You can read it here.

Guys Use Weight Watchers Too!

2007-05-21T17:52:00.000-04:00

Greg Grunberg, star of Heroes, recently lost 35 pounds by following the Weight Watchers Core plan and now he is the new face of the company! Grunberg will be Weight Watchers first male spokesperson. It's about time, don't you think? Greg says that one of his goals is the change the image of the company and let men know that anyone can follow the program.

TomKat Gets Around!!

2007-05-21T09:51:00.000-04:00

Photo Removed
Click here for lots of Katie Holmes Photos

Here's Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise and adorable Suri, on the set of her movie "Mad Money" last week. I don't know if it's just this picture, but don't you think that Tom Cruise has been looking younger and younger lately? Maybe he's had a face lift? He's definitely lost weight since the wedding. This picture of them looks like it was taken 20 years ago. Is "Mad Money" set in the '80's?

These two really get around, they were spotted on the weekend in Georgetown biking on the C&O Canal towpath, and apparently were in good spirits and signing autographs and having their photo's taken with the ordinary folk of Washington.

Britney Pulls a Milli Vanilli

2007-05-21T08:28:00.000-04:00

Britney took her lip-syncing show on the road to Olando this weekend. This time, she had a bit of a technical problem. The background track to the song she was "singing" started skipping so Brit had to turn her head away from the audience and just dance around while it was being fixed. Yeah, turning your head is a great idea, I bet no on caught on. According to People, despite the glitch, she remained in 'good spirits' during the short performance shouting out "I love you, Orlando. Thank you so much for being here. You're awesome. I love you!" and blew a kiss. I have to say that I really don't understand the lip-sync stuff. If she is doing a mini tour with mini shows, why not just sing? She obviously wants to see what kind of crowd she can still draw and test out her dancing skills, but she should probably test out the vocals as well!

Kate Hangs Out with Mischa

2007-05-19T08:24:00.000-04:00

Kate Middleton got herself a new friend and it's American Mischa Barton! Seems strange to me, kind of odd couplish. The two were seen out at a London nightclub, Boujis. You can see the photo here. Kate looked great as always in a black and white dress. Mischa looked.....interesting as always in a white top/black skirt combo. The shirt was cut down to her waist and has some strange ruffle-like detail on it. She really has strange fashion sense.

Shoes!! Shoes!!

2007-05-18T18:55:00.000-04:00

We haven't had a style on a budget post for ages, so I thought I'd share my shoes that I found yesterday!!
These cute cork wedges were on sale at Payless for $16.99. I couldn't believe it! And they are comfortable! Cork is all the rage at the moment, so this is a great way to embrace the trend without spending a lot of money!!

Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? .....

No... It's Jerry Seinfeld, flying over Cannes in full bee costume to promote his new film "Bee Movie".

"What I hate is any kind of movie promotion that smacks of desperation," Seinfeld deadpanned before his great leap

Seinfeld and Chris Rock are in Cannes to promote the animated "Bee Movie" and have had this stunt planned for ages!!

Worst Earrings Ever

2007-05-18T09:54:00.000-04:00

Even though we are a Jessica Simpson free zone, I have to point out these hideous, ridiculous earrings that Jessica Simpson wore out last night. They are so huge they take over everything.
I'm Not Obsessed has the pictures.

And while we are at it - why can't Britney put her shoes on properly?

Posh's Life on Film

2007-05-18T09:39:00.000-04:00

The reality show that is Posh's life has actually started filming, and now the crew of her reality show are competing with the paparazzi for a close up of Victoria Beckham. Yesterday, Posh went grocery shopping. This show is going to be riveting. I just know it. I hope they film lots of it in her new house. I want to get a better look inside.

I'm also curious to find out exactly what it is she does all day long. Mia and I will definitely be watching, and recapping!!

Tiger's Baby-Momma

2007-05-17T18:36:00.000-04:00

Check out Elin Woods at the Tournament Players Championship! She is looking very pregnant these days although still adorable of course. She is expecting her first baby with hubby Tiger Woods this summer. I actually feel kind of sorry for them because you just know they are going to be hounded like mad once that baby comes!

Rainbow Girl

2007-05-17T13:11:00.000-04:00

Wow. That's a lot of color. Her body looks fantastic, but I'm not all that sure about the dress. Tone it down a bit Linds! Speaking of Lindsay, did anyone catch her on Martha Stewart the other day? Talk about having the personality of a door knob. Martha was giving her all kinds of crap about going out every night and kept calling her a 'party girl' which seemed to offend Ms Lohan but hey, if the shoe fits.
