Weekend Box Office Projections

Judging by the crowds of geeks waiting in line for last night's midnight screening, I'm going to guess that Serenity will be #1 this weekend in a big way. This movie is what Star Wars and Lord of the Rings fans have been waiting for: another obsession that will give them reason to leave their homes. One can only play Halo 2 for so long.

1. Serenity - $23 million
2. Into the Blue - $19 million (teenage boys and older ones will flock to see Jessica Alba in a bikini)
3. FlightPlan - $15 million - a cheesy thriller guaranteed to continue to upset the airline industry
4. The Corpse Bride - $11 million - too early for Halloween but still expect a solid Tim Burton following
5. A History of Violence - $10 million - Viggo Mortenson - enough said

Kate Moss + Prison?

Reports out of London state that Scotland Yard is investigating Kate's use of cocaine and may charge her with an offense which may lead to jail time.

But there would have to be sufficient evidence (don't know if the photos/video of her doing coke would suffice). Would be the first time a supermodel has been charged/jailed for snorting coke (and enjoying it).

Kate and Cameron on Holiday

Kate Winslet will be joining the cast of Holiday, already starring Cameron Diaz.

The movie was written by Nancy Meyers (who wrote and directed Something's Gotta Give) and she'll also direct.

Kate and Cameron will play women having trouble in love (no such thing in real life because Kate's happily married to Sam Mendes (he won an Oscar for directing American Beauty) and Cameron is with our favorite N Sync member, Justin Timberlake). So, both girls will really be acting this time as opposed to just Kate.

Filming begins next year in Europe.

Star is Fired; What Took So Long?

The E! Channel has fired Star Jones from covering the red carpet. Finally!

She was plain awful and always self-promoting herself, her cheap shoes or her 'husband'.



Let Kathy Griffin have a turn on the red carpet because she's not afraid to tell anyone when they look bad. Smart move.

Tara Reid should not speak, drink or party

Tara Reid, who makes Paris Hilton look good, should refrain from speaking. She says she's not a ditz, but she always sounds like one (and looks like one).

This is her latest and greatest quote regarding her breast popping out at P. Diddy's birthdy party (her enhanced breast with her fresh surgery scars),

"People act like it was the worst crime in the world. It was a mistake, you know! But you would think my boob had popped out and shot Gandhi! My hooters are under control. I'm taped up now, totally. I'm using double tape. Double, double tape. My boobs are going nowhere again."

Simply hilarious.

Gwennie preggers with another apple?

Star is reporting that Gwyneth Paltrow is pregnant again. Good for her. Congrats!

Here's the photo of GP looking just plain horrific.

I have to say that this photo is by far, the worst I have ever seen of her. She actually looks like the b that she is.

And she's wearing makeup so you can't say she looks bad because she's not wearing any makeup because she is! She looks very pale and very pissed off yet she still has that haughty nose in the air pose.

Her hair is very dark too. Guess she's not so natural a blonde.

And what's with the dorky outfit she's wearing? She looks like a goth Amish chick.

This photo is priceless.

Lindsay Lohan to Get Naked - Paris Hilton Made Her Do It

LL is going to be naked on the upcoming cover of Vanity Fair.

Why? Because she wants to show everyone that she's put on some weight and is healthy now. Plus, Paris Hilton made her do it. How? Paris went topless (covering her breasts) on the most recent cover of Vanity Fair and LL felt that she needed to one up her (they say it was LL's idea to go all the way).

Rumor is the shoot took place in Malibu.

These photos are from yesterday's video shoot in Chelsea..

Bennifer's having a girl

By now everyone knows that Jennifer Garner was on the Tonight Show and let it slip that she's having a girl. Oops! Yeah right. A nice well-placed 'she' and Bennifer will be bombarded with free gifts for their unborn daughter.

First you have Michael Vartan killed off of Alias and then you spawn with Ben Affleck? What's next? Time to drop the nice girl act Jen. Anyone who marries Ben can't be nice.

In the wake of celebrity breakups, let's see how long this marriage lasts. But if it does, won't it be great for Ben to teach the baby how to gamble, smoke and drink? That would be...priceless.

Another Lucky Blonde

Here's Kate Bosworth shopping in West Hollywood.

I guess thin is still in. Also in vogue, aviators, cowboy boots and slouchy bags.

But where's Orlando? Oh that's right, he's 'hanging out' with Kirsten Dunst while they promote their movie, Elizabethtown.

They do kind of look alike although I think Kate is cuter than Kirsten.

Things are looking up for Sienna Miller

It's a great day to be a blonde especially a young, attractive, forgiving one like Sienna Miller. Rumor has it that Sienna will be the new face of Burberry now that they kicked Kate Moss to the curb (after photos of her favorite hobby appeared all over the world). Lucky Sienna; she could net a cool million or two from this deal.

Plus, there's talk that she may play a Bond girl in the next James Bond flick.

All this because she's attractive and her hot boyfriend cheated on her with the nanny and the world found out about it (would we really know who she is otherwise? don't think so).

This reminds me of when Hugh Grant cheated on Elizabeth Hurley way back when and she got a huge endorsement deal from Estee Lauder.




And if hawking Burberry and being a Bond girl weren't great enough, she still gets to go home to Jude Law, even if she has to keep an extra eye on him.

So you see, there's always a silver lining to every story. Here's hoping your boyfriend cheats on you and you get a cool million or two.

Another blonde's birthday

How could I forget?

Today is also Gwyneth Paltrow's birthday. She turns 33 years old and yet somehow she still has to make others try to feel sorry for her. She has a hot musician husband, a cute baby (with a weird name), a history of dating Hollywood hotties and she has an Oscar.

What is she lamenting about today? Oh, just that she won an Oscar so early in her life (when she was 26 years old) and how it should've happened later because she had 'nothing to strive for'. How tragic for you. Boo hoo. Life's so tough for you, Gwennie, isn't it?

"When you reach the pinnacle of your success at 26, as I did, it's not healthy. It leaves you in a sort of crisis in terms of what you're supposed to be and do for the rest of your life. I made the mistakes of working too much and it turned out to be really the wrong thing. I just had a lot of life in 10 years. I achieved a lot early, but I wasn't very happy."

Hope everyone sheds a little tear for Gwennie today.

Happy Birthday Hilary!

Hilary Duff is 18 years old today.

Finally! She's been acting like an adult for a long time but now it's official. Congrats. Enjoy your day with your older boyfriend.

Nicole Kidman looking for a rich husband

Nicole Kidman will produce and star in a new movie called Headhunters.

She will play a woman from New Jersey who goes with her friends to Monte Carlo where they pretend to be rich in order to snag wealthy husbands. There, they meet four gigolos who pretend they are wealthy playboys. Sounds just like that old Steve Martin movie, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Nicole should have no problem pretending she's from Jersey; this picture of her from the 80s is proof!

Trump Pregnant!

Donald Trump and his new wife of nine months, Melania, are expecting a child. This will be the fifth child for Trump and the first for her and the third different woman he's impregnated (that we know of).

The Donald is almost 60 years-old!

Leave it to Trump to trump Ashton's news. Hey Ashton, you just got Trumped; how does it feel?

Somewhere in NY, Trump's adult children are silently dividing their fortune. Yet again. Ready to divide everything five ways?

Brad and Angelina sitting in a tree

The sexiest couple alive, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, are slowly starting to take their relationship public. Here they are about to take a ride on the wild side.

Riding motorcycles with Brad obviously appeals to her wild-child nature and thrill-seeking ways (addicts usually trade one feel good-high for another). But they do look good together and with his dark locks, they almost look like one of those pretty brother-sister couples-almost.

Jake, Heath and Michelle -one big happy family

It seems the only way Heath Ledger will be in a room with Michelle Williams is if he has to be by contract. Jake (dreamy), Michelle (looking pregnant and happy) and Heath (looking glum) were at a press conference in London for their new movie, Brokeback Mountain (which is generating favorable strong buzz).




While Jake and Michelle look happy, Heath does not. Why did he marry her? I realize she's pregnant but he didn't want to have kids with Naomi Watts and all of a sudden, he wants to be a daddy with MW? Or is he trying to do the right thing by marrying her? Poor girl; there are rumors and sightings nearly every week of Heath making with some girl at some seedy bar in NY while MW is nowhere in sight - most likely home alone at their Brooklyn apartment.



Somewhere Naomi Watts is snuggling close to Liev but thinking about Heath and wondering why she wasn't the one.

#1s

Flight Plan - #1 movie in America pulling in $24.6 million. Despite being out of the spotlight, Jodie Foster proves that she can still open a movie especially when it's a thriller.

Desperate Housewives - #1 TV show last night drawing an audience of 28 million (but below the season opener for Lost) and 12.1 rating/26 share in the all important 18-49 demographic.

Ashton and Demi get married - #1 news story today.

Paris Hilton - still the #1 ho around

Another One Bites the Dust

Chad Michael Murray (the sole reason to watch One Tree Hill) and his wife of five months, Sophia Bush have called it quits. What's going on??? Is September the month to get rid of one's significant other? There have been so many Hollywood breakups reported this month.

I knew this marriage wouldn't last! They're both too young and too attractive to be with one person especially in Hollywood.

There were major rumors that he hooked up with everyone's favorite ho, Paris Hilton, last year when they filmed that horrible House of Wax flick. I believe it.



It's going to be very awkward on the set of One Tree Hill from now on. Somewhere Lindsay Lohan is laughing knowing she had him first.

Why do fools fall in love?

Why would a 27 year-old marry a 42 year-old? If you're Ashton Kuther, the answer is clear: you're in love and your wife has the body of a 27 year-old thanks to over $100k in plastic surgery. So Ashton Kutcher married Demi Moore in a 'secret' ceremony in Beverly Hills over the weekend. Somewhere Brittany Murphy is crying and teenage girls hearts are breaking. But it gives the over 40 crowd some hope that you can still get married to a hottie if you're lucky enough to keep looking good - plastic surgery or not.

Is this Jennifer Aniston's New Love?

The National Enquirer is reporting that Jennifer Aniston is dating Geoff Stults, the actor who plays her boyfriend in the new movie, The Break Up.

Wow! He looks a lot like Brad! Except he's a little taller. 6' 3" vs. 6' and a lot younger, 28 years old vs. 41 years for Brad.

So who is Geoff Stults? He had a small role as Craig, in 'Wedding Crashers' (don't remember him) and he was on one of those teen-favored shows, 7th Heaven.

It's been reported that she was shamelessly flirting with him. And why not? He is cute and he does look an awful lot like her ex (funny how that happens). But we all know he'd just be her rebound guy.

Celebrities without Makeup

I love when the tabloids show pictures of celebrities without makeup and in general, looking bad. So enjoy!




Paris Hilton looking very zitty! She must wear a ton of makeup because I've never seen a photo of her with a blemish. And here she is, with multiple zits!


























Cameron Diaz suffers from acne and has had for years, this is not new information. But here she is after a day of golf looking not so good. Makeup and lighting make a huge difference!


















Believe it or not, this is Eva Longoria, the sexiest and youngest of the Desperate Housewives. And as thin as she is, even she has cellulite!!!!






Last, but certainly not least, is Mariah Carey, wearing no makeup and barely any clothes. Why does she think she can get away with this look?

Some images from HollywoodTuna

Lost Returns with a Bang

The best show on television is back - Lost. Wow! Last night's show was another great episode. Plus, it beat out Martha Stewart's new show and E-Ring. Lost scored 23.1 million viewers (a record for the show) and a 10 rating/24 share in the adults 18-49 demographic. To put this in perspective, more people watched last night's episode than they did any of last season's episodes including the season ender. And why not?

Lost is visually a delight (how many hotties on the same island? filled with eye candy for both men and women (my personal fave is Sawyer but Jack is a close second)) and is superbly written. We care about the characters and what happens to them. That show has so much soul and substance. Everytime I think I'm over it, I'll see another great episode and I'm hooked. Again.

Happy they won the Emmy for best drama.

Can't wait until next week!

Unlikely Dynamic Duos

Jude and Sienna back together again fueling rumors that she really is pregnant. Why else would she take him back? We know he has a major problem and will probably stray again. Regardless, they do make a nice couple and will have cute babies.

























Charlie and Denise back together again. Here's another example of a bad boy trying to reform. Does that really work?

























Mariah Carey and Brittany Murphy? Yes, here they are dancing the night away in London. Quelle bizarre. I can't tell who looks worse. Frightful!


























Gwennie and Lindsay Lohan posing together last week at a fashion show. Does LL really need that much makeup? It looks caked on and it looks like she's had her lips puffed/filled. On the other hand, Gwennie looks natural and very folksy with that hair.

























The most unlikely duo? Jewel and Jessica Simpson? Jewel looks ginormous next to Jessica! Jewel is so much taller and well, thicker for lack of a better word. Jessica makes her look gigantic. Look at the size of Jewel's head!!!!

But they do look kind of cute together. Jewel and her mini-me. Reminds me of Mary-Kate and her giant.

























Thanks to Perez Hilton for this photo.

Poor Kate

By now everyone knows about Kate Moss's bad boy/bad drug habit. It's almost mandatory to report so I will.

First H&M, then Chanel and now Burberry - the fashion houses have dumped her from their advertising campaigns due to the very damning photos which appeared in the U.K.'s Daily Mirror last week.


According to one report, Kate was making a cool $7 million a year from her endorsements.


When did the fashion world think that models doing coke was wrong? Isn't it a given that models do coke to stay oh-so-skinny?



Gawker reports that Anna Wintour, aka The Devil Who Wears Prada, is behind all of this, persuading the fashion world to think ill of Kate. Why does Anna hate Kate?

And now the police are getting involved. Scotland Yard wants to investigate the case and see if Kate can provide details about her supplier (she did have massive amounts of coke with her, allegedly).








At least she looks like she was having a good time and that's all that matters, doesn't it?

Jennifer Aniston loves dirty martinis and Mexican

Jennifer Aniston was the 'special' guest on the season opener of Oprah today. As everyone already knew, Jen stayed with Oprah at her mansion in Montecito last weekend. On the show, Oprah was complaining about how the paparazzi showed up and wouldn't leave them alone. She joked around with Jen that she brought them there and that Oprah was leading a peaceful life before that.

Anyway, Jen never mentioned Brad's name once (or Angelina's).

I hate to admit this but Jen looked fantastic! Perfect faux bronze + perfect makeup. She had her hair highlighted and parted down the middle - blonde but not too blonde. It was blown out straight in the front but wavy (her natural style) in the back. She was wearing a very cool, black, button down shirt (I couldn't tell if it was half-sleeved or if she had the sleeves rolled up), blue jeans, great stiletto boots (to the ankled not to the knee) and a great watch (was that a Cartier?). If anyone knows who designed her clothes, shoes and watch, please let me know. I'd love to know!

Oprah spent a small amount of the billions she has to redesign the studio. It looks good, very showy and even changes colors just like at a rock concert. She had pictures of Jen everywhere including ones from her Vanity Fair article. In fact, a huge picture of Jen made up two huge walls which opened slightly to allow Jen to walk her way to Oprah in the middle.

Again, she looked great. At the beginning of the show, Jen presented Oprah with a gift box which contained two crystal flutes. A waiter appeared with champagne and they toasted to the new studio - kind of lame. Not to Oprah's 20th year on TV , or to her new puppies, or because of her help with Katrina victims (Oprah announced she's giving $10 million) - no just for the studio. Whatever. They both starting drinking and reminisced a little about the weekend they spent together where they drank a lot (Jen brought a few of her closest non-celebrity friends) and of course, Oprah's fave gal pal, Gayle, was in attendance.

Things Jennifer Aniston revealed:
She's looking forward to the unknown;
She loves sunsets and has a photo album from the 'old' house with 10 years' worth of sunset photos;
She wants to date;
She has always wanted children but wouldn't say how many she wants because that's part of the 'unknown' and again, she's looking forward to the unknown (she kept repeating this);
She doesn't sleep much these days (she doesn't know why; um, how about stress????) ;
She wakes up looking forward to things like coffee;
Clive Owen (her co-star) in Derailed is a good kisser; and
She didn't hook up with Vince (but those exact words never came out of her mouth; Oprah asked her directly, 'did you make out with Vince?', and Jen never answered; I'm sure she made out with him while filming the movie so if she said no, then you know she'd be lying).

Oprah didn't like the movie because she doesn't like psychological thrillers (they screened the movie the weekend they had their 'slumber party.' Oprah said she didn't want to watch all of it and needed the movie to be over and for someone to just tell her what happens because she couldn't take it anymore).

Jen was only on for one-third of the show or about 20 minutes. Before she left, she also admitted that her favorite pig-out food is Mexican and that her favorite drink is a dirty martini (love those too!). Oprah did a 'shout out' and told the audience that they should all have a dirty martini weekend but I'm certain she just meant Jen and Oprah.

Box Office Results - Just Like Heaven

So Just Like Heaven was #1 (as we predicted) this past weekend but made substantially less than what we had estimated and below studio estimates (it hasn't been a good year for Dreamworks). The movie received mixed reviews with most reviews on the unflattering side but with some positive comments for Reese and Mark.

1. Just Like Heaven - $16.5 million (weak opening for Reese)
2. Exorcisim of Emily Rose - $15.3 million (continued solid results in week 2)
3. Lord of War - $9.2 million (strong debut)
4. 40-Year-Old Virgin $5.8 million (nearing the $100 million mark)
5. Cry Wolf - $4.6 million

More Fashion from the Emmy's

Mischa Barton looks great. She's blonder than usual which suits her and the nude-colored dress is very flattering. Go Mischa.























Oh no, Sandra Oh. What were you thinking? The dress is too little Bo-Peep. The bow does nothing for you. And you're so thin that your head looks enormous! Why did you break up with Alexander Payne? You were such a cute couple. Nonetheless, you were great in Sideways and I like your show, Grey's Anatomy. Please hire a stylist.


















Paula Abdul has had a makeover. She has definitely had some work done. I really think she had fat-grafting done (fat from your tummy or derriere is injected into your face for a more youthful look) because her features are softer than usual. Plus, she's dressing a little better than she ever has - not 100% better - but anything would be an improvement given some of her major fashion faux pas.

Plus, I think she showed up with a hottie who didn't look as young as Corey Clark. Good for you Paula.













Portia Di Rossi does not look good. Her dress is awful - the color is terrible and the front flattens her. That birds' nest of a hair do is horrific. Comb that down, please.





















Lauren Graham is pretty. I wish she could find a great guy. She dated Matthew Perry once but they didn't last; he's a player. She looks great in red even against the red carpet. But she's a Winter (pale skin, dark hair), so reds are always flattering for Winters.



















Maggie Grace from Lost is soo pretty. She's soo lucky too. Tall, thin, blonde and on a hit TV show (Lost won for best drama) and she's only 21! Sigh. Lucky!

Adrian, Oh Adrian

Two words: Adrian Grenier.
Adrian, why are you so hot?
And more importantly, why
aren't you here with me? Sigh.





Adrian looked adorable last night.
Best dressed male!









Still looking cute.






Very cute.

Emmy Awards - Fashion Roundup

Ahh, the Emmy Awards. The best part of the show? The Arrivals! Here's the fashion roundup.


The Desperate Housewives of ABC.

Marcia Cross. She didn't win an Emmy but she looks fantastic! Green works so well for redheads (just ask Julianne Moore).
I think Marcia was the best-dressed Desperate Housewife. She looks very pretty and I have to say that I thought she was hilarious as the first guest on Marth Stewart's new show.
She's on the best-dressed list.


















Teri Hatcher, the most over-rated Desperate Housewife. I'm sooo glad that she didn't win. Her dress is nice but it looks crooked and her updo doesn't work well with that dress and all that bling. Sorry Teri, your look wasn't 'spectacular.'



















Felicity Huffman is a winner! Nice people do win! She looks pretty in pink although her dress is not the most flattering style. But I do like her and I'm happy she won; she deserves it.





















Little Miss Heartbreaker, Eva Longoria. She looks nice but it's not a 'wow' look. The Egyptian Cleopatra collar is different but nothing amazing.



















Debra Messing of Will & Grace. I don't like her dress. The color isn't flattering and the front design is just weird. It doesn't go well with the twisted knot at her waist. Not a winning look.





















The always stunning Halle Berry. Wow! She looks great but when doesn't she? I will say though that her dress is like a copy of Teri Hatcher's dress from last year's Emmy's (remember that Donna Karan dress?). This dress looks a lot like it. But Halle looks great. I'd say she was one of the best-dressed last night.

















Jennifer Garner looks adorable even though she's carrying the spawn of Ben Affleck who was MIA. Jen is cute and is borrowing from Catherine Zeta-Jones when she was pregnant; she wore a similar dress to the Oscars.


















Charlize Theron is gorgeous but this dress doesn't work. First of all, black is boring. She's thin; she doesn't need to hide behind black. Second, the dress is too short. Third, she looks weird as do
her legs; I think it's because she's not orange like she usually is; guess the faux tan is over. Fourth, weird wide shoes do nothing for her.

















Evangeline Lilly is pretty but she needs to get out of her safety zone. This is the second time she's worn black to an event. You're on Lost! You don't get to dress up! Wear some color! The dress is nice but it doesn't really do anything for you!



















Cynthia Nixon looks great as a blonde. She's a natural blonde but had been
dying her hair red because Sarah Jessica Parker wanted to be the
blonde bombshell. But Cynthia looks nice.

Weekend Box Office Projections

Expect Reese's new movie, Just Like Heaven, to be #1 this weekend.

My predictions for the Top Five:
Just Like Heaven, $22 million
Lord of War, $16 million
Exorcism of Emily Rose, $14 million
40 Year-Old Virgin, $7 million
The Transporter, $6 million

Wedding Crashers has now earned over $200 million (domestic gross) and is the highest-grossing R-rated film. Expect more R-rated flicks to be made thanks to Vince and Owen.

Everyone Wants Renee and Jack Together Again

As I speculated earlier, Jack White may indeed want Renee back in his pale, skinny arms again.
According to PerezHilton.com (who ran the same photo I did earlier), the following recently occurred:

"Hey Renée, can you grab me a soda?" --That's what Jack White hollered from his tour bus at a gas station in Washington state, according to In Touch. Unfortunately, Jack was calling out to his wife, Karen Elson, not his ex-fiancée, Renée Zellweger. Jack reportedly ran over to Karen to try to explain, but there ain't no explaining that, and Karen boarded the bus in tears. Hey, Jack, prepare to hear about this incident as long as you both shall live. Or a least until the divorce.

Crazier things have happened so one never knows. Best of luck to everyone.

Brad and Ange to Wed?

The Daily News reports that Brad and Angelina will wed at George Clooney's villa in Lake Como. Interesting. Brad's marriage to Jen isn't over yet (the divorce will be finalized next month) so Brad couldn't do anything until then except plan the big day.

Would he want to jump back into another marriage?

But he is in love and he seems to have found his true soul mate. And why wait when you know you want to spend the rest of your life with person? They do complement each other, are good in bed (or so we hear), and she makes him want to be a better man. Awww.
We'll just have to wait to see what happens.

We will see Brad's Tattoo!

I completely forgot that Brad will have a long nude scene in his upcoming movie about Jesse James. Yay! So we will get to see that lovely tattoo as long as the makeup artists don't cover it up. Something to look forward to everyone! A reason to go to the movies.

Oh, and I'm certain Ange will show off her legs (she's always taking her clothes off when she' not too busy saving orphans, of course) so we'll see the latest ink to her fab bod.

His and hers matching tattoos; how wonderful!

Imagine This

Here are better visuals of the inner thighs of Brad and Ange. All the more for you to imagine those tattoos because we'll probably never get to see them.

Okay, the second photo of Brad doesn't really apply but he looked so darn good that I had to include it.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Match

Rumor has it that Brad and Angelina got matching tattoos to symbolize their love for each other.

Does she have room left on her body for another tattoo? Guess so.

Apparently, the tattoos are on their inner thighs.

Renee and Jack - Memories

Here are some old photos of Renee Zellweger and Jack White in happier times.

She looks good in black (not too skinny) and sporting that oh-so-chic Louis Vuitton bag and he looks good in a basic T and jeans.



Jack White must have read the news about Renee's split with her hubby and he must be thinking about this news and about her today. He simply must!

Let's hope his model wife isn't too upset.

I really think Jack and Renee had a good thing together.

Entourage/Adrien Grenier

The delicious Adrien Grenier aka Vince from Entourage in Beverly Hills yesterday for an Emmy kick-off party. I have to admit this is not his best look but he's still a hottie. He's a bit too scruffy and his dark facial hair makes him look a bit menacing. And what were you thinking toting around that awful accessory Bai Ling?

That accessory is so passe and too loose for you Vince! You don't look happy with her anyway.

Fraud

More details have emerged about Renee's decision to split from Kenny Chesney. In court papers filed Wednesday, Zellweger listed "fraud" as the reason for the breakup but did not elaborate. Hmm, I wonder what Kenny lied about? That he had hair under that big hat of his which he never takes off? Rumor has it that he was all lovey dovey before the wedding but turned into a controlling psycho after the wedding trying to dictate what she did and with whom. Once again, not a good idea to marry someone who has been stalking/obsessed with you since Jerry Maguire.

I'm certain The Smoking Gun will have the court papers published on their website soon.

From Sidekick to Model F*cker

All it takes is a stint on a hot show playing a cool, hot-tempered agent and voila, you've gone from John Cusack's sidekick to Love 'em and Leave 'em Model F*cker and Hollywood It boy.

Ari, Ari, Ari! Jeremy Piven is suddenly too hot to handle. He's been burning up a storm in New York the past two weeks and especially this week with models infesting the city for fashion week.

According to Pagesix, "Jeremy Piven does not discriminate when it comes to hot models. The "Entourage" actor has been enjoying his single star status so much lately that just one girl won't do. At the Genetic Jeans launch party at Butter Monday night, Piven "grabbed one model the second he walked in and kept picking up more as he walked throught the room — making out with them and then ditching them." Piven, who mingled with new best pals Mary-Kate Olsen, Lindsay Lohan and Kelly Osbourne, left with "several girls on his arm." "

Let's Pretend It Never Happened

The best tidbit about Renee's failed marriage? She's having it annulled. Let's just pretend it never happened. Erase it off my record! Wouldn't it be nice to have everything treated that way? Remove every trace of ex-boyfriends, frenemies, etc.

Let's hope Jack White comes to his senses and takes Renee back into his pale, thin arms.

You Didn't Have Me At Hello

Sad news: Renee Zellweger and her hubbie of four months, country crooner, Kenny Chesney, have called it quits.

They met at a tsunami relief concert in January and were married in May.
Not surprising that they're breaking up. What did you expect when you married your stalker (he wrote a song called, 'You had me from hello'), someone you've known for a mere five months?

Honestly, I didn't think they made a cute couple. He was too short and she was on the rebound from Jack White (Mr. 'I married Meg and then took her name and now pretend we're brother and sister' White Stripe) who broke her heart.

So what does Jack do after he's against marrying Renee? He marries some washed up, not pretty, so-called 'super' model as retaliation for Renee's wedding.

Just suck it up and admit you belong together. Maybe now Jack will come to his senses and be with Renee again and all will be well with the world again.

Raps okay for Apple but not Campbell's

Gwnyeth Paltrow admits that she 'would rather die' than have her daughter, Apple, eat instant soup but having her 16 month old listen to Jay Z's music is perfectly acceptable for the 'perfect' actress/mom.

Asked whether or not her daughter is a fan of daddy's music (Coldplay), Gwennie admitted little Apple doesn't like Coldplay but adores Jay Z and listens to his music with headphones.

Okay, so you won't let her eat soup but listening to Jay Z (whose music I like) talk about bitches and hos with headphones (way to ruin her hearing) on is okay?

Oh, Gwennie. What kind of twisted logic is that? You're not perfect, time to stop acting that way.

Angelina to Hawk Power Suits

The Wall Street Journal reports that St. Johns Knits (known for its power suits favored by the over 50 crowd) has hired Angelina Jolie as its new spokesperson.

A tattooed sexual female like Angelina to represent old lady suits? Interesting. St. Johns Knits ads had been featuring the founder's daughter (a 40 something blonde woman) but I guess they're trying to go after a hipper, edgier, younger crowd.

And Angelina is definitely the way to to do it. Just ask Brad.

Brad Pitt to go Full Frontal in his next movie

Has hanging around with Angelina Jolie made Brad Pitt more adventurous than when he was with Jennifer Aniston? Guess so!

Us Weekly is reporting that Brad will show more skin than he did in Troy with a 'pretty long nude scene' in his upcoming movie, "The Assassination of Jesse James."

He's 41 years old but he still looks good. Can't wait! Go Brad!

Two Stars of Fashion Week

Lindsay Lohan looks good! What a surprise. It's about time! Here she is at Marc Jacobs's fashion show this week. She doesn't look fat and she doesn't look skinny. Her makeup is decent and her hair isn't too bright yellow. And she's wearing an outfit that:

a) fits,

b) looks good, and

c) is age appropriate (she's been wearing too many old lady Chanel outfits recently).

But this time, her stylist got it right and did a great job.

Mandy Moore (currently dating Zach Braff) is now blonde again. She's so cute/adorable that she can pull off brunette or blonde well. This photo was taken at the Behnaz Sarafpour show this week. I think she's adorable and liked her role on Entourage (the best show on TV). Hope Ari wins an Emmy on Sunday!

Jimmy did what?

What the heck is Jimmy Fallon doing to Parker Posey's leg? Please caption this photo!

Everyone in LA is having a baby

Brit bit and the Federline procreated today.

Heidi Klum and Seal had a baby boy yesterday.

Tina Fey (Saturday Night Live) and her hubby had a baby this week. And the Baby watch continues.

We're still waiting for Ben and Jen! Here they are in la la land enjoying ice cream on a hot, sunny California day.

Wouldn't it be great if all these babies grew up together and became friends? That would definitely be interesting...

Leonardo DiCaprio as President

Leo wants an Oscar and he'll play the president to win one (not Clinton, that would be too much fun).

It was just announced that Leonardo DiCaprio will star as Teddy Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States.

Expect Leo to give another fantastic performance in a bid to win an Oscar (he was nominated last year but lost to Jamie Foxx). Paramount Pictures just bought the rights to the script. No date has been set yet but it's anticipated that filming will begin late this year/early next with a potential December 2006 release (when all the Oscar contenders are released). Leo's in NY now finishing up filming on "The Departed".

Nancy Drew related to Julia Roberts?

Yes, sad but true.
Emma Roberts (guilty of nothing but being related to Julia - 'the I used to be Pretty Woman but now I'm just bitchy and will steal your husband' - Roberts) will star in a movie based on the popular childrens' books, Nancy Drew, one of my faves.


The movie is tentatively titled, Nancy Drew: The Mystery in Hollywood Hills. Expect Emma to be a star like her dreadful aunt. Let's hope they don't ruin the movie and have Julia in it!

Speaking of which, wtf is wrong with Dave Matthews? I love him and The Dave Matthews Band but what's up with hiring Julia to play your 'dream girl'? Whose dream is that? She doesn't look good in the video and she certainly doesn't need any more attention directed at her and her big (both literally and figuratively) head.

Britney has a boy - cheetos and wifebeaters for everyone!

Britney Spears had a baby boy early this afternoon in la la land. She had a C section so a lot of tabloids already knew about the 'event'. Rumor is that she wants to name the baby boy, Preston Michael Spears Federline. That's a mouthful! Good luck B. You're going to need it!

Mattie, Oh Mattie, Why oh Why!

Sniff sniff. Matt Damon is getting married. Too distraught to write. Darn that lucky Lucy! Darn her!

How the heck does a single mom (with a massive overbite and goofy grin) from Argentina meet and marry one of our favorite American hunks/actors?


Here's the lucky b!

Courtney Cox is my favorite Friend

Met Courtney Cox yesterday! Had an appointment at Sephora to test a new skincare product, Kinerase, whose spokesperson is the one and only Monica from Friends, Ms. Courtney Cox.

She was very nice and signed an autograph but wouldn't pose for photos or allow any photos to be taken. She looked pretty good - no wrinkles (guess the pricey products work) but she was very, very skinny. Shook her hand it was quite bony.

I really wanted to ask her how Jen was doing but resisted. Instead, I asked her how Coco was doing and she smiled a huge smile and said, 'great, just wonderful; thanks for asking.'

All in all, it was great to meet her. Now, I still need to meet the remaining "Friends" (have already met Ross, not so great, at Pastis a couple of years ago; total player).

Lindsay Lohan, Jeremy Piven, Dustin Hoffmann and Malcolm Gladwell

Lindsay Lohan, Jeremy Piven, Dustin Hoffmann and Malcolm Gladwell
What do these four celebrities have in common? I've seen/met them all in the past week!


First, Lindsay Lohan. I was at the Maritime Hotel (16th and 9th) at one of the restaurants, Matsuri (a Nobu knock-off) last Thursday night. Before I could walk in, there was a gaggle of tall, thin models puffing away on their Marlboro lights (it is Fashion Week) blocking the doorway. As we made our way past them and the maitre'd (drinks only), we found a nice spot at the bar and started to people watch (ordered a martini, of course). Lo and behold, I spied a skinny blonde who looked familiar and it was Ms. LL herself. What was shocking, was not that she had gained a few badly needed pounds (she looks a bit healthy now and fuller in the face) but was the fact that she was solo and not at the bar (sans drink!). Aren't almost of the sightings of her at some bar/club drinking/dancing up a storm? Well, not that night. She was acting quite demure and quiet sitting by herself (near the maitre'd) and texting away on her sidekick.
Rumor has it that Jared Leto is staying at the Maritime and she was waiting for him to arrive.
Even though she wasn't drinking, she did have a perfect view of the bar and vice versa; guess once you start getting attention, it's hard not to want it.


These pictures of her and Gwen were taken Saturday at the PSP fashion show. They were seated next to each other. Hmm. Are they planning their wardrobes again? Remember, they wore very similar leopard print dresses to the MTV VMAs? Hope they stop dressing alike.



Malcolm Gladwell - does anyone know who he is? He's a famous writer with two best-selling books, "Blink" and "The Tipping Point." I saw him at Pastis last Wednesday night sitting outside enjoying a very late lunch/early dinner. A friend of mine purchased his Tribeca apartment so I did have something to discuss with him. He is very slight in person and sporting that infamous 'fro. Had to stop myself from telling him that The Tipping Point was great; Blink not so much.


Jeremy Piven - hosted a party last Friday night at PM lounge. It was co-sponsored by Lufthansa (yes, the airline people) and it was a private event (don't ask how I was invited; still trying to figure that one out). Cute place but tiny and no VIP room to speak of (at least I didn't see one). Hostesses were all dressed up as flight attendants; a very cute idea for a Halloween costume (you heard it hear first). Ari did not disappoint, cute but short and extremely protected by bodyguards and thirty women willing to be near the coolest guy on tv (sigh. Vince aka Adrien Grenier was not there but he's still an uber hottie!).


Okay, last celebrity sighting of the week - Dustin Hoffmann.
I was at Paladar (cute Latin bistro on Ludlow - Lower East Side) last night (Saturday) and therewas a rather large, rowdy dinner party of 20 something hipsters with two old people in the group. One of the old people? Mr. Focker himself! He is adorable (yes, he really is that short) and very friendly and obliging (everyone at the table took photos except for us; so not cool). But he was very nice to me and my friends. Even caught him sending a wink and a smile my way. Love that old dude.

That's that. There are sooo many parties this week because of Fashion Week; will have to try to crash a few and report some more. Celebrities and models are everywhere; it's hard not to bump into one somewhere this week.

Gwynnie's Roots Don't Lie

Gwyneth Paltrow (Ms. I'm better than you are) was recently chatting about her famous ex, Brad Pitt, and how he should keep his mouth shut about his affairs.

Since, you're sooo perfect, why would you leave the house without getting your hair properly done?

Here's a photo (or two) of Gwynnie from yesterday as she made an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. Okay, okay, she still looks good (that B!) But lo and behold, there are her roots! Do you see how dark her roots are in these photos???

She makes millions of dollars, has an Oscar, has Chris Martin (okay that's not really related but we're still jealous of that B!) swears by beauty and fashion, declares herself to be perfect in practically every way and her roots are showing?! Why, oh why? Major fashion faux pas.

First, Sarah Jessica Parker shows us hers and now you? SJP, I can understand if her roots show because she's a natural brunette but Gwynnie? Aren't you supposed to be a natural blonde? Guess not. After all, roots don't lie. Just like numbers.

Gossip Roundup

Katie Holmes = Kate Cruise
Katie's still in love (it's not a publicity stunt) and she wants to prove it. Kate (her preferred name) would like to officially change her name to Kate Cruise when she marries Tom. By taking his name, she's doing something that neither of Tom's ex-wives (Nicole Kidman and Mimi Rogers) did, thereby proving her true love for Tom.


Tara Reid loses her jewels.
While at the Ibiza airport, someone stole Tara's Balenciaga (tragic) which was filled with her jewelry and her Rolex watch. Tara was in Ibiza for her show Taradise (tragic yet entertaining) on E!. Videocameras follow her everywhere so I'm a bit surprised that she wasn't being filmed at the time. The loss of a Balenciaga bag is truly tragic.


Frances Bean makes fun of her mom.
In the upcoming issue of Teen Vogue, the daughter of Kurt Cobain (tragic death) and Courtney Love (just tragic) dishes about her own style and her mom's. Frances prefers the classic look as opposed to her mom's disheveled look. "I don't really like her hard-metal stuff, or when she doesn't brush her hair." Um, isn't that every day? Sure looks like it.


J. Ho's in Town
Jennifer Lopez/Marc Anthony. Here she is at the after-party for her new movie, "An Unfinished Life" starring Robert Redford. I've seen her in person with her husband and he is skinny like a scarecrow - not cute at all and she looks practically obese standing next to him.
This picture isn't that great either.




La Hohan (aka Lindsay Lohan) also in New York at a party (of course).

She looks pretty good in this photo. I like that she's gained a few pounds. She doesn't look emaciated anymore; actually looks a bit healthy.




Fashion Week has begun in New York
Warning! Models in town. Watch Out!

Just Like Heaven

Ahh, just saw an early screening of Just Like Heaven, Reese Witherspoon's new movie with Mark Ruffalo (hottie). Mark Waters (Mean Girls, Freaky Friday) directed and his visual style is evident in this flick.

I have to say that I enjoyed the movie because of the performances but the story is very far-fetched. Think Ghost with a twist. Won't say anymore; don't want to ruin it for anyone. But Mark and Reese are very cute together.

Also in the cast is the excellent, Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite).

Of course, they do play the Cure song, "Just Like Heaven." Wonder how much Robert Smith made on that deal.

But I still expect this movie will be #1 when it opens (on the 16th).

The One

It only took her 43 years, but Sheryl Crow has finally found her man. This past weekend, Lance Armstrong, proposed (finally). Sheryl and Lance are one of those brother/sister couples, they look alike but still look good together.

I think they make a nice couple and I hope they can have a child together (hear she really wants to have his baby). He already has three kids by his ex-wife.

Glad you found someone 'who's man enough to be your man'. Go Sheryl.

Reese's Pieces at Disney

The paparazzi won't leave Reese Witherspoon alone.
The star of Sweet Home Alabama (who could forget hunky, Josh Lucas?) was harassed by a paparazzi while at Disney Adventure Park (Anaheim) with her two kids. Where the heck was her hot hubbie, Ryan? He seems like the type to fight back. Poor Reese. This is her second run-in with the paparazzi; hope this time, she wins the case.

Monica Lewinsky Leaving NY

Monica Lewinsky, a neighbor of mine in the west village, is leaving NY for London (where they love girls who have 'some meat on their bones').

Monica will be attending the London School of Economics but studying social psychology. Hmm, what else is there to study, Monica? Haven't you learned everything you need to know about people and how they think?

Expect plenty of shots of Monica attending class in pjs sans makeup. And plenty of shots of Monica with men (any man will do) with headlines blasting, 'Monica's new beau.' Just don't shag the president... of the class.

Good luck Monica.

$28 million and her roots are showing!

What is the deal with Sarah Jessica Parker?

She made $28 million from the Gap ads and many millions more from Sex and the City yet she can't get her roots done?

Here she is in London promoting her new fragrance (more millions to be made) and her dark brown roots are showing. It looks like she hasn't had her hair highlighted in over six months! What gives?

SJP is notorious for being cheap but come on, spare a little change and get your hair done! One color would be nice. Pick one: either brown or blonde. You can afford it, darling. Spend a little, you're worth it.

Tasti D-Lite Not So Light

It's a Seinfeld episode come to life! Tasti D-Lite has been lying about the true calories and cholesterol in its 'frozen desserts'. I knew it! That's why I've gained a pound or two recently.

According to the papers, Tasti D-Lite has to pay a $100,000 fine (they should pay $1 for every pound everyone gained) to the city of New York for false advertising.

Whenever you walk into one of their stores, you notice the ad on the wall that states their vanilla has no cholesterol and is very low in calories. Turns out it's not true! The vanilla has 50% more cholesterol than advertised and 22% more calories than advertised! And this is just the plain vanilla!!!! I can't imagine the calories and cholesterol in peanut butter cup, milky way and all the other tasty delights!

World Music Awards Fashion Roundup

The World Music Awards. Why? Who decides on this? I think this is an excuse to get celebrities to appear on the red carpet (as if they needed one). Who cares? We do because we like to see celebrities and what they're wearing.


Beyonce with her boyfriend Jay-Z. Her dress is very pretty and works well with her skin tone/hair (even if it is a wig).

Beyonce - costume change into a slinky silver dress (of course, Kelly and Michelle wore similar dresses). She looks better in gold than silver.

Beyonce - looking radiant as usual.



Paula Abdul - is it just me or does she look as if she's had some work done? She looks refreshed and more youthful; I hardly recognized her. I'm guessing she had some fat-grafting done (they take fat from your stomach or tush and inject it in your face - remember that episode on Sex and the City? Samantha had it done ).




Mary-Kate has her own giant, why not Paula Abdul?
Funny pic.
Paula is really short next to Anna Kournikova.






But the future Mrs. Iglesias looks amazing, almost like a model. Look at how skinny she is! Isn't she almost six feet tall? Wow, she has really slimmed down.
She looks great even if her legs look like tall twigs.





Up and coming stars:
Amerie ("1 Thing" from the Hitch Soundtrack) and Rihanna ("Pom de Replay")

Can't Get Enough of You

Ahhh, Matt Damon with an open shirt. What more do I need to say?

Okay, so he's wearing a shirt underneath, but he still looks darn good.

Lucky Lucy! She gets to home to him every night!

The Power of Blondes, Boobs and Babes

This month's Jane magazine has an entertaining and very insightful article about the power of blondes, boobs and babes.
Jane Pratt (who recently stepped down as editor of Jane) and two of her colleagues took turns testing the power of being busty, blonde and carrying the accessory du jour, a baby preferably Maddox-like.

#1 - The Power of Breasts
Jane tried the fake breasts (chicken cutlet-like that celebs use all the time; these are what won Julia her Oscar in Brockovich) out at a meeting and the response was astonishing: when she had the fake big boobs, the guy was enamored with her and kept asking her questions about the beach, her personal life and anything really to picture her in skimpy attire or none at all. He was touching her to make a point and flirting and laughing.
BUT midway through the meeting, she went to the bathroom and removed the 'breasts'. When she came back, she said the look on his face was priceless - shock and dismay! He was staring at her chest in shock at the absence and wouldn't make eye contact with her. He also quickly changed the subject to business. Interesting.

#2- The Power of Being Blonde
Another Jane staffer put on a platinum wig and dressed very scantily when entering a swank NY hotel bar. She got lots of attention right away both from the patrons there and the waiter who brought a glass of water to her as she sat down (who has ever received such fast service?).
Anyway, some guys bought a drink for her and started flirting with her. She escaped to the bathroom (where else can we go?) , took the wig off and re-emerged as a brunette - not as much attention but some guy did flirt with her.

#3 - The Power of the Baby Du Jour
Someone walks around the Meatpacking district with a Maddox look-alike where she is greeted like Angelina Jolie and the real Maddox - warmly and oh so hip - like you're carrying the latest it-bag (still want that Balenciaga). She goes to a sex and the city restaurant Pastis (most likely) and gets treated like a star. When she returns later in the afternoon with an all-American looking baby, no such attention.

Very interesting. What does this say about us as a society? We're obsessed with celebrities and this is affecing our judgements/decisions whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not.

You should check out the article in Jane; it's a good read.

Jen and Vince sitting in a tree....K-I-S-S-I-N-G

For two people who are not together, they seem to be together a lot.
I realize this is an old photo but there seem to be new photos of Jennifer and Vince nearly every week!

But if you think about it, all this media attention is really the perfect way to hide a relationship. No one expects you to jump right into another big relationship (and we all know that Vince isn't exactly the committed type) but the best way to get over a guy is to get under a new one (c'est vrai, no?).

We've all had a crush on Vince at some point or another (Swingers did it for me) so why not indulge, Jen? You deserve it. Vince is no Brad but maybe you should stay away from the pretty boys. They tend to stray and stay that way. Go Team Aniston!

Shopaholics R Us

Well, well, well, guess who's in town and shopping up a storm?
None other than Condi Rice. Who knew she was a shopaholic? Gawker is reporting that she's in town and shopping on 7th.
Um, should she really be so public about this while the South is dealing with the Katrina nightmare?
Don't think so; it looks bad. I mean it's okay to be a shopaholic but your timing is off.

The Thing About My Folks

Okay, so the average age of the actors in this movie is probably 50-something but that shouldn't scare you away.

This movie, The Thing About My Folks (written by Paul Reiser, Mad About You), is adorable!
I laughed and cried (a lot). It's such an honest, intimate and touching look at family especially the relationship between a parent and a child even though the child is about 40/50 something. But aren't we all kids at heart no matter how old we are?

There was a special screening at Lincoln Center last night and after the movie, we were treated to a Q&A with Paul Reiser and Peter Falk (Mr. Columbo - he was also in Made with Vince Vaughn). They were both adorable and hilarious, just like in the movie.

This is one definitely worth checking out. Visually a very pretty picture (lots of fall foliage) and very well-written and acted. Peter Falk deserves an award!

Is she or isn't she?

Is Sienna Miller pregnant or not? That's what everyone would like to know.

It seems Sienna was going to walk the runway at Roland Mouret's fashion show next week but has pulled out (if only Jude had ;).

If she is pregnant, then this would explain why she went ballistic when she found out that Jude cheated (not that a girl needs to be preggers to be that upset when a boy cheats; sigh, it's always heart-breaking).

I really hope she is because they'd have beautiful little babies together. But then again, she'd be stuck with a cheater and once a cheater, always a cheater.
