News of the Day

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

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

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

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.

Breaking News: Paris Back to Jail!!!!

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

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

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

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!

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?

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

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

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.

Is Britney Dating her Counsellor?

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

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.....????

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!

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

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

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

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

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!
