Hugh Grant will beat you with a manila folder

Hottie Hugh Grant got hot and bothered yesterday in NY but not in a good way.

English actor Hugh Grant reportedly struck a photographer with a manila folder on the streets of New York City on Tuesday. The Four Weddings And A Funeral heartthrob, 45, lashed out at an unnamed paparazzo while walking down Central Park South at 9:20am, according to the New York Daily News. Former Daily News spokesman Ken Frydman, who witnessed the incident, says, "Hugh Grant had his head down, looking at his cell phone, when this young guy started flashing his camera." Grant responded by taking photographers of the snapper with his camera phone, saying, "How do you like it, mate?" before calling the paparazzo a "p**sy" and slapped the manila folder he was carrying across his head. Frydman explains, "The photographer kept smirking at him. He said, 'I don't know what you're so mad about.' (Grant responded), 'You're invading my privacy. This is your last warning, you c**t.' The photographer kept taunting him. That's when Grant kicked him in the butt. Not hard - he was just trying to shove him away. I said to the photographer, 'Leave him alone or he's going to hit you again.' I said to Hugh Grant, 'Don't hit him again, or he's going to sue you.'"

Josh Lucas need a Woman Fast not a Fast Woman


Whining about how lonely he is in one paper then caught bumping and grinding with a ho in another, Josh Lucas sends a mixed message on Valentine's Day.


“I am 34 years old and I’m really ready — and I’m hungry — to have a child and a family,” Lucas told Daily News contributor Jawn Murray while hyping “Poseidon,” his upcoming movie.

“My frustration with myself is that I’ve been so oriented toward work, it’s very difficult to settle down enough to spend time with someone enough to get to know that you want them.”
He added: “Since I’ve finished ‘Poseidon,’ I’ve traveled every single day. … It’s very hard to find someone who has their own life enough that they can go with you and still not feel like they’re just there with you — if you know what I mean by that.”

Lucas, who’s been sidelined by a hand injury sustained while making “Poseidon,” claimed he’s using his time off to find a wife. “That’s my total focus!”

Meanwhile, pagesix reports that someone saw… JOSH Lucas bumping and grinding on the dance floor with bimbonic blond ex-Playmate Victoria Silvstedt at the Victoria’s Secret pre-Valentine’s Day bash at Show . .

One thing's for certain, Josh is hot!

When a picture is worth $4 million...


The New York Post is reporting that pictures of baby Pitt-to-be will likely fetch $4 million. Wow! Brad and Angelina should take the pictures themselves and sell them (isn't that what Brad's ex, Gwyneth Paltrow did?).

Here's the lovely couple in Paris (how romantic) sneaking in a kiss in public.

Maniston on the cover of Vogue; Wintour confused about husband stealing

What the f?
Why is ugly Maniston on the cover of Vogue? "Don't Feel Sorry for Me" is her quote.

Again, wtf? This is a woman who went on Oprah and every other show, magazine and newspaper and asked everyone to feel sorry for her. And now she doesn't want anyone to?

Why is that? Maybe she's sick of the pitiful looks she gets. Or maybe we are sick of her and her whining. Wah. Brad Pitt left me. Wah. He's with someone pretty unlike me. Wah. I wanted kids not a career that's why I've been starring in crappy movies that make no money at the box office. Wah. Wah. Wah. Give it up already. Move on and let everyone be.

And seriously, what is wrong with Anna Wintour? We know she doesn't eat so maybe she was a bit delusional when she put Jennifer Aniston on the cover.


But what strikes me as odd is that she put Maniston on the cover because her husband (Brad Pitt) was stolen away yet Anna Wintour is a husband-stealer herself! People forget she swiped Shelby Bryan, a handsome Southern, wealthy exec away from his wife. How ironic!

When A Stranger Calls # 1 at the Movies

"When A Stranger Calls," was number one at the movies this weekend scaring up $22 million*, not bad for a remake of a 1979 film with a newcomer, Camilla Belle, in the lead. The movie was targeted at teens especially girls.

It's a tough weekend for movies with competition from The Super Bowl so movies like, "Something New" starring the hot aussie actor, Simon Baker, did not do well (debuting in 6th place with $5 million) but childrens' movies continued to fare well such as "Nanny McPhee" in 3rd place and "Hoodwinked" in 5th place.

The Oscar nominations also helped a few movies increase in ticket sales especially for "Brokeback Mountain" which was also helped by an additional 435 additional theaters showing the gay cowboy flick.


Weekend Box Office Feb. 3 to Feb. 5
1. When A Stranger Calls - $22 million
2. Big Momma's House 2 - $13.35 million
3. Nanny McPhee - $9.9 million
4. Brokeback Mountain - $5.7 million
5. Hoodwinked - $5.3 million

Crazy Jennifer Maniston fan nearly attacks Angelina Jolie in Berlin

Pregnant Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were left horrified yesterday after an American woman tried to slap Jolie in a German restaurant.

The crazed Jennifer Aniston fan allegedly marched into Berlin's Nola Restaurant and screamed: "Where is that home wrecking Angelina?"

The woman, sporting a 'Friends' T shirt, then lunged at the pregnant star before her bodyguards intervened.

According to the Daily Star, the Jolie-Pitts quickly left the restaurant and ran for their car, however, the loony lady ran after them and Jolie managed to slam the car door just before she could get in.

A source told the tabloid: "The mentally unbalanced American had obviously been tipped off that they would be dining there because she was wearing an Aniston top and was on the look-out for Angelina.

Angelina would normally have confronted the woman, but she was petrified because she's carrying her first child and won't risk any harm coming to it." It is believed that the Jolie-Pitts recognized the woman who attempted to attack them and think she may have been following them...It is as yet unknown as to whether any formal charges will be brought against the lady.

Do you think Maniston paid this woman? Scary!

Sheryl Crow's going to write another sad love song...

Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong have broken up! This is really sad news.

They were an adorable couple - one of those couples that look like brother/sister. And they were only engaged for five months. I still remember how excited she was when she declared publicly, "I want to have his babies!" So what went wrong?

I'm guessing that she wanted a baby right away (she's 43 and doesn't have a lot of time unfortunately) and he didn't - he's 34 years old and already has three kids from his ex-wife.

A couple of months ago she was quoted as saying she wasn't ready to have his babies. Hmm. I should've known then that something was wrong.

But on the plus side, I bet she'll use this experience to write another great sad, love song.

Good luck to Sheryl!

Desperate Housewife Indeed! Teri ready for revenge?

I bet the tension/friction has increased on the set of Desperate Housewives.

Not only did Teri Hatcher aka Skinny Susan not win a Golden Globe or a SAG award but then Felicity Huffman had to go and win both and get an Oscar nomination.

Serious jealousy.

If that's not enough to scratch her eyes out, then I don't know what is. I bet Teri stops eating and wins the 'I'm the skinniest' competition on set!

Can't you just see the jealousy in her eyes?!!!
