I am NOT the only one who thinks it!!!

off of celebrity-babies.com:
We've been very excited to see the new photos of Suri Cruise, 7 months old, taken this week leading up to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding. These first candid photos of their baby are exciting for several reasons. The first is that we've been deprived of photos of her since her Vanity Fair debut, the second is that we've been deprived of candid photos of her up to this point, but thirdly because the photos reveal what may be the true reason Suri has been kept out of the public eye.
We'd like to call your attention to what appears to be a slight but distinctive birthmark located in the middle of her forehead between her eyes visible in several photos that was not visible in the Vanity Fair photos. It was rumored that there was a lot of airbrushing involved in her Vanity Fair shoot and this is what was probably airbrushed. In these new candid shots of her, her thick black hair is combed forward, most likely in an attempt to conceal the mark. Of course, it is also possible Suri fell and bruised her face.
We don't know what type of birthmark this is, but it's likely they have tried to have it removed or reduced because the color is very subtle.
From what we understand, there are three major types of birthmarks: port wine stains, hemangiomas, and vascular malformations. According to Birthmark.org and Birthmark.com, hemangiomas are reddish in color, 83% occur on the head and neck area, occur 5 times more often in females, appear at or shortly after birth, growing rapidly for first nine months and most stop growing by 18 months,can be raised, flat or both, responds to steroid treatment but only some respond to laser treatment.
Port wine stains are red or purple, can appear anywhere on body, are present at birth, don't grow, are flat at birth but may slightly thicken with age, do not respond to steroid treatment but do respond to laser treatment and can change color with hot or cold temperatures.
Does the red mark on Suri's forehead look like a birthmark to you?
If the seclusion and rumored airbrushing was because of this alleged birthmark, what are the specific reasons Tom and Katie kept Suri out of public? Were Tom and Katie afraid the public would focus in on the birthmark too much? Were they uncomfortable about it themselves? Could removal of the birthmark be another reason the wedding was delayed?

A couple more pics

J Lo....
Katie kissing her freedom goodbye and embracing the slavery of the Cruise....
Fireworks fromthe castle after the ceremony...I thought this was a cool shot.
I'll post more pics as they come available, with this circus I am dying to see what Kate looked like in her dress.
Oh, here's a little blurb off of reuters:
Local authorities said this week Cruise, star of Hollywood hits like "Top Gun" and the "Mission: Impossible" trilogy, had not sought permission for a civil service, meaning the wedding could be purely ceremonial and have no legal value.
Scientologist weddings are similar to others, with rings, music and flowers. The bride wears white and the groom a dark suit. Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli was expected to sing Ava Maria during the celebrations.
The cost of the event was estimated at over 2 million euros ($2.5 million). The pair's outfits were designed by Giorgio Armani, who also created the bride's bouquet.

The Place: Odeslcachi Castle towering above the medieval hilltop town of Bracciano, near Rome
When: after dusk before a Scientology minister flown in from the US for the service.
What they Wore: Armani
the Dress: strapless cream gown covered in thousands of crystals by Giorgio Armani and wearing underwear estimated to have cost a mere $3000

To Katie, Tom said: "And do you ken that by the customs of our race you pledge to him, and only him, your kiss and your caress?"Katie responded: "I do."
The minister then said: "Well, then, know that life is stark and often somewhat grim and tiredness and fret and pain and sickness do beget a state of mind where spring romance is far away and dead and yet for valour and for strength you must abide, create still his health, his purpose and repose. Do you?" Katie: "I do."
Minister: "And do you take his fortune at its prime and ebb and seek with him best fortune for us all? Do you?" Katie: "I do."
Minister: "Good, then. I am sure you will, and surer yet that you'll fare well and staunchly as a wife."
To Tom he said: "And when she's older do you then keep her still? Do you?"
Tom: "I do."
Minister: "Now, Tom, girls need clothes, and food and tender happiness and frills. A pan, a comb, perhaps a cat. All caprice, if you will. But still they need them. Do you then provide? Do you?" Tom: "I do."
Those at the wedding were to receive "goody bags", complete with monogrammed towels bearing the couple's initials and designer sunglasses.
About 6000 candles were ordered to light the castle, reportedly rented for $2.48 million, and fireworks were ordered to flood the night sky.
What it cost?in excess of $1.2million

Call me crazy
Look at these pics of the crazy couple in Italy....if you look at the area of her forehead, right between the eyes, it looks to me like she has a birthmark, like a liver spot, that has been lasered a bit to lighten it up. Like I said, call me crazy.
Also, don't tell me this wedding/business partnership isn't a circus cuz Katie's dressed in a clown outift.

Fashion: Impossible
Remember last week when we revealed that Kate Moss (half of the duo that are more 'George and Mildred' than 'Sid and Nancy') was accepting Alexander McQueen's gracious offer to design her wedding dress?
It would seem that Katie Holmes, eager to marry her in-no-way mentalist partner, has similar ideas, floating the idea to all and sundry that Chanel would be her ideal choice for a dress design in which to float up the chapel aisle, or maybe the ramp to the spaceship.
Unfortunately, Karl Lagerfeld has other ideas and is performing the business equivalent of closing the curtains, turning the lights and music off and sitting with his fingers in his ears whispering "I can't see you, I can't hear you."
Katie has famously developed cold sores since her relationship with the diminutive dead-eyed film star, though it now appears that she also has a problem with facial hair. Well, in the last year she has appeared in public sporting a rather small but very obvious beard...

Well, here's one pic (above) I found where she does seem to be sportin a cold sore on her upper lip from about a year ago... it is pretty small as far as the photo goes....
And then there are these!

KEVIN Federline has gone from being fast and loose with his cash to watching every penny since Britney Spears kicked him to the curb. Instead of flying to Miami, Fed-ex arrived in a bus - along with six friends. On Tuesday, they went on a "shopping trip" on Lincoln Road but "didn't buy anything" and then had dinner at "cheap" Oriente at Cardozo on Ocean Drive before stopping by club Mansion, where everything was comped.
Note to Federline: you can save a lot more if you don't have an entourage. Tonight, he hosts a party at Mansion with DJ Irie.
TomKat wedding

I hope everyone realizes that this isn't a wedding, it's a business transaction. C'mon, even Oprah didn't buy Tom's crazy couch jumping on her show (see TMZ.com). Little wonder she wasn't invited to the wedding. This is a fulfillment of whatever contract Katie and Tom have....start the clock for the five year countdown! As others have speculated, Tom is a master at PR and media manipulation, let's look at a few of the guests: Brooke Shields, for one....she is probably the only other person who knows the truth about Suri's birth, so it's smart to have her at the wedding. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett along with Posh and Becks....have a couple of non-$cietologists in the mix to make it look like you have "friends" outside your Cof$ group...Will and Jada also saw Suri shortly after her "birth" so of course they will be there as well as anyone else who saw Suri shortly after she was born/hatched. And of course Suri is deliberatly being paraded around, don't be fooled. It would be so easy to have a nanny hold her and keep her out of the public eye.
Think of hte message here! TC: I'm still large & incharge, I'm running my own movie studio now, about to get married (again) and have the fam all together! Which brings me to another question: Where are his adopted children with Nicole? Not as important any more, are they? This is an unfortunate trend with men marrying again...children from the previous marriage(s) tend to get neglected, since Daddy is all wrapped up with his new life.
Let's also consider their lame attempt at trying to appease Kate's parents with a Catholic wedding by "forgetting" to fill out the proper paperwork in that Italian town. Oh oops, we didn't get it right, so TC the control freak gets to have his way with having another Cof$ ceremony (After all, this is his THIRD marriage. Why can't you stay married Tom? Hiding much?). It's all too well orchestrated, like a movie script, almost. Like their entire media-soaked relationship has been a huge movie script to follow! I say that Suri was an IVF baby because of TC being too paranoid (and GAY) to touch a woman.
But whatever. We'll all watch the media circus that Tom has carefully put together for us to gawk at. I'm not even going to go into what I think of the "traditional" Cof$ wedding vows. Misogynistic and frankly stupid.
But Tom thrives on media frenzy and Kate is stuck. I wonder if the split up will be just as public?

Perez-pig gets bitch slapped!
Gossip blogger Perez Hilton has been ordered to stop stealing photos from Splash News and Picture Agency. The internet gossip columnist - real name Mario Armando Lavandeira - was handed a Cease and Desist order from the agency's lawyers on Tuesday. The 28-year-old blogger who can be seen virtually everyday sitting in his working office - the corner of the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf café on Sunset strip - was slapped with the warning in person. In a letter drawn up by Makarem & Associates, the agency warned Lavandeira to take down exclusive images of Britney Spears holding her baby Sean Preston in Kentwood, Louisiana.
The images - which belong to Splash - had been posted on his blogspot without permission or any payment.

He said he would do anything to get Britney back. He knows he's nothing if he doesn't have her in his life and realizes he has made a major mistake."
The source added: "He sent flowers and chocolates to Britney, but she asked an assistant to put them somewhere where she wouldn't have to look at them. He's also left voice messages, singing her love poems, but Britney hasn't replied."K-Fed is going traditional - according to the item - including singing her love poems and sending flowers. However, reportedly Britney is scrubbing the house of anything Federline.
The source said: "Britney says one of the perks of their break-up is getting her beautiful house back. His stuff was always messing everything up, littering the house with CDs, ashtrays, nicotine-smelling clothes and men's magazines. "It has all been taken away now, there is no sign he ever lived there."

As we sat downstairs in her Los Angeles home, upcoming Advocate cover girl Kristanna Loken—the smoldering star of Terminator 3—found an adorable way of letting us know that she’s involved with her equally sexy BloodRayne costar Michelle Rodriguez.
At first Loken, 27—who has a recurring role as lover of Shane (Katherine Moennig) on Showtime’s The L Word this season—affirmed that she’s in a relationship but wouldn’t specify the name or gender. Then we mentioned the tantalizing stories Loken has told in past interviews about getting tight with Rodriguez when they filmed BloodRayne in Romania.
Here’s what happened next.
What about all the stuff that was said about you and Michelle on the shoot?[Laughs, then takes a deep breath] There is the $64,000 question. Um…I don’t even know how to answer that.
It seems like you both had a lot of fun partying.Uh-huh. [Smiles, doesn’t say anything]
OK, your silence says volumes. [Both laugh]
Just don’t look upstairs, OK? Ooh, OK.
You don’t want me to print that?You can print it. [Laughs again] The very hot housekeeper. No, just joking.
Rodriguez, 28, star of Girlfight, The Fast and the Furious, Blue Crush, and TV’s Lost, is filming in Seattle. Her representative declined to comment. The Advocate wishes these two vital young stars all the best.

off antara news:
Los Angeles (ANTARA News) - Britney's soon-to-be ex-husband Kevin Federline is threatening to sell a four hour sex tape the couple made soon after getting married, unless she agrees to his terms for their break-up, DPA reported.
The reports coincided with the release on the internet Monday of a video clip purporting to be taken from the tape, showing a woman looking a lot like the once-innocent star performing oral sex. The shocking footage surfaced just a week after Spears filed for divorce from her former back-up dancer following two years of marriage and two children together.
Tabloid reports said that Federline is demanding as much as 26 million dollars for the tape and for dropping his claims for sole custody of the couple's two children. Website TMZ.com also reported that last week a judge threw out a libel suit Spears brought against gossip magazine Us Weekly for allegedly fabricating a story about a sex tape she made with Federline.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole ruled that the article wasn't defamatory because Spears had, in her videos and reality TV series, "put her modern sexuality squarely, and profitably, before the public eye." (*)

They stayed until 4 a.m., shutting the place down, and then invited the girls back for "a private after-party."

Too Funny to not post

off of theBosh.com:
Uh-oh. Guys have come in between Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton again. Lindsay was recently filmed by TMZ calling Paris a very nasty "c" word as she left the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. According to several sources, the reason for Lindsay's outburst was Paris's relationships with Stavros Niarchos and Lindsay's ex, Harry Morton.
The feud between Lindsay and Paris was re-ignited when both girls went to Hyde. According to a source for Perez Hilton, "Paris was chatting with Harry Morton. They're friends and have known each other for years. And, Lohan is an obsessive control freak and super jealous. Even though she's no longer dating Harry she lost it when she came into Hyde and saw Paris and Harry chatting. She screamed at them and then stormed out!" Another witness confirmed the story to London's Daily Mail and said, "Lindsay can be a tad obsessive and sometimes her jealousy spirals out of control."
Lindsay's anger only grew when she was dismissed by Paris and Stavros at the Roosevelt the night of her outburst. Says a Daily Mail tattler, "Paris was hanging out with Stavros Niarchos. They have this on/off relationship but this night it was very much on. Lindsay has also had some history with Stav. When she saw him making out with Paris she stormed over and screamed at Paris. Stavros was so upset and he screamed back at Lohan, 'F*** off ! Get away from us, you loser!'"
Being rebuffed by Stavros was a big blow to Lindsay's ego, causing her to making the nasty statement about Paris to the paparazzi. Seconds later, however, Lindsay was denying she ever made the comment and saying, "Paris is my friend." Our main question is: if Stavros is the one who cursed at Lindsay, how come he didn't get a share of her badmouthing?
TMZ.com has video of the incident.

Asked whether he thought Federline married the pop star for her money, Alexander replied, "I don't know, the only thing he's done since they've been married is spend money."
As for the potential custody battle over the couple's two sons, Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James (born Sept. 12), Alexander said, "He won't get the kids ... he can't take care of his first two." (Federline has two children with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson.)

Britney Spears really doesn't want K-Fed feeding off her anymore, so much so that she's willing to give away the first photos of her baby Jayden James for free – just to avoid having to satisfy little-known clause in the couple's pre-nup guarantees that Fed-Ex will get a portion of any proceeds from selling snaps.
According to Women's Wear Daily's Memo Pad column, the pop princess has decided to offer the pictures free, but not to the usual outlet for her photos, People. Instead, she'd like to follow in TomKat's footsteps and get them into a more highbrow monthly or bimonthly. People, for its part, says it would be "more than happy" to have the snaps.
Meanwhile, according to several ticketing websites, two of K-Fed's gigs, last night in Cleveland and tonight in Atlantic City, have been cancelled. The gigs in Federline's native southern California are still good to go, but they're not scheduled until just before Thanksgiving.

TomKat wedding plans 'in doubt'
The romantic Italian wedding that Tom Cruise and his bride to be Katie Holmes are said to have set their hearts on may be under threat after local officials revealed that the couple have not completed the necessary paperwork for the ceremony.
Italian newspaper Il Messaggero reported earlier this week that the Hollywood couple were planning to conduct their forthcoming nuptials at a medieval castle on the edge of Lake Bracciano, north west of Rome.
An electrician in the town of Bracciano subsequently told Italian television that he had been ordered to rewire part of Castello Odescalchi by the castle's owners ahead of a union between Cruise and Holmes.
Meanwhile, Il Messaggero claimed that the couple planned to exchange vows in a traditional Catholic ceremony on November 17th, in recognition of Holmes' religious background, followed a day later by a ceremony conducted by the Church of Scientology, of which Cruise is a high-profile member.
But with the venue for the couple's nuptials yet to be confirmed, local officials in Bracciano have warned that such a ceremony at the castle would prove to be a 'mission impossible' for Cruise and his fiancé.
Local mayor Patrizia Riccioni told the Reuters news agency that while she would like the wedding to take place in the area, the couple had not submitted the necessary papers to make such a ceremony legal.
"I don't think it will be legal," she said.
"On an Italian level, there are papers and documents that we certainly don't have."
Meanwhile, local Catholic priest Nicola Fiorentini is reported as saying: "Cruise is divorced. Even if he were not, another fundamental requirement would be missing - the authorisation of the parish."
Cruise and Holmes, who have a baby daughter Suri, announced last month that they would wed in Italy on November 18th, with the bride set to wear a Giorgio Armani-designed gown.
With further details of the bid day remaining a closely guarded secret, if Cruises' supposed spending habits are anything to go by, the wedding is likely to be a lavish affair.
Press reports earlier this week claimed that the actor had splashed out $10,000 on a steak dinner for Holmes at a Beverly Hills steakhouse.

This guy is a wannabe wigga!
Click on the headline to see an exclusive interview Kfool had with MuchMusic in canada, where he recieves the text message from Brit saying it's over!
I've compiled this from a few different sources, like thisislondon.co.uk, tmz.com and ONTD:
***
Britney Spears told husband of two years Kevin Federline that she was divorcing him via a text message while he was recording a TV interview.
The 24-year-old singer decided it was all over on Monday after a very tempestuous marriage and sent a message to Kevin's BlackBerry telling him exactly that.
The wannabe rapper, 27, was filming a segment for MuchMusic in Canada at the time. He interrupted the interview and stormed off, returning 30 minutes later visibly upset.
While the mother of two, who looks amazing after giving birth just eight weeks ago, was filing divorce papers at the Los Angeles superior court citing "irreconcilable differences", Kevin was gushing about his "supportive-wife" and how much he loved his family. The whole incident has been caught on video.
The news of the split broke a day after Britney appeared on the David Letterman show in America showing off her new toned figure and bobbed haircut. She didn't mention the break-up but there have been numerous reports since June that the marriage was in trouble.
Just last week the pop princess had a furious Halloween bust-up with K-Fed, and she was overheard screaming: "You're useless - you're nobody," at him at the nightclub launch of his own rap album.
Federline, her former backing dancer, was later seen crouched in a corner crying. He then spent last weekend in New York plugging his debut album, before heading to Canada on Monday.
The couple, who married in September 2004 after dating for three months, had arranged to meet in New York but Kevin checked into a separate hotel, leaving Britney with their two sons, Sean Preston, one, and two-month-old Jayden James.
She was later seen in tears as she exchanged angry words with her husband on her mobile phone. He is believed to have stood her up, preferring to hit the town with five friends instead.
This was the last straw for Britney, who has asked that the couples' assets -including "jewellery and other personal effects", and "earnings and accumulations from and after the date of separation" - are confirmed as "separate" property.
But she came out of hiding last night and embarked on a two-hour tour of New York's tourist attractions in a bid to show she is getting over the split.
When asked how she was coping with the divorce she replied: "I'm doing OK." She looked like she didn't have a care in the world as she went to the famous ice rink at the city's Rockefeller Center with her former manager Larry Rudolph.
Britney fired Mr Rudolph, who was responsible for making her a star, a few years ago but it looks as if he may have a hand in her new album Fears Within, which is due out next summer.
This will be Britney's second divorce. She wed childhood friend Jason Alexander in January 2004 in Las Vegas. The marriage was annulled two days later.
And he won't get half her fortune
Kevin federline can forget getting his hands on Britney's wealth. The singer is worth more than £65 million but most of that money is safe as the couple had a prenup agreement.
The £4 million Malibu mansion, currently home to Britney, and sometimes to Federline, will be divided 50/50.
Any gift worth more than $10,000 (£5,200) the couple have given each other will go back to the original purchaser.
This includes a custombuilt motorcycle Britney gave her husband for
Christmas two years ago.

TMZ has learned Kevin Federline may fight Britney Spears for custody of his children. Federline has not had much time to react to Spears' decision to end the marriage, and that's because she didn't tell him in advance that she was filing for divorce. Federline was caught flatfooted when TMZ broke the story Tuesday that Britney filed legal papers in L.A. County Superior Court.
Federline almost certainly cannot challenge the prenup. Sources say hotshot divorce lawyer Laura Wasser drafted an air-tight prenuptial agreement before the couple married. So Federline's only chance of cashing in is by mounting an ugly custody fight, trying to force a more lucrative settlement. But friends of Spears say Britney will fight a holy war to prevent Federline from getting custody and, given his track record -- or lack of it -- with the kids, it would appear Spears has the clear advantage.

Just before Britney filed for divorce, Kevin Federline talked to Salon about how he "would've probably blown up huge by now" if he had never married, and why her fans would rather she was with an "all-American boy."

Proudly, off of TMZ.com:
Britney Spears has filed a petition for divorce from Kevin Federline.
Spears filed legal papers today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights.
As for money, sources tell TMZ the couple, who married in Sept. 2004, has an iron-clad prenup. Not surprisingly, Spears is waiving her right to spousal support. She's also asking the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees.
Spears gives the date of separation as yesterday, the same day she flaunted her incredible revamped physique during a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show. Sources tell TMZ there was no single reason for Britney pulling the plug, rather it was "a string of events."
Spears has hired powerhouse celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has repped a number of celebs, including Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland. We're told Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe asked Wasser to rep both of them in their split, but Wasser declined for personal reasons.

Yet in between screwing his latest male conquest in myriad semipublic locales (takes after Toothy, this one), Mr. Mooner took time out to plug his almost heady career, stopping over for a little couch chat with Oprah, and seduced her so in the process.

Must explain why, then, some important members of O.'s team subsequently made it quite plain to a visiting friend of theirs, a little later on, that Matinee was, like, "so gay." This announcement by the big O.'s pro campers came right after their innocent little amiga proclaimed her smitten-ness for M.M.

EXCLUSIVE: Neil Patrick Harris Tells PEOPLE He Is Gay
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 03, 2006 06:55PM EST
Neil Patrick Harris Photo by: Zach Lipp / AdMedia
Neil Patrick Harris is gay – and wants to quell recent reports that he had denied it. The actor tells PEOPLE exclusively: "The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships.
"So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love."
Harris, 33, currently stars in the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother. He shot to fame in 1989 at age 16 when he played a teen-prodigy doctor on the hit Doogie Howser, M.D. "It was a very fast but wonderful education," he told PEOPLE in 1998.
After the show went off the air in 1993, he shook off his teen image with roles in the musicals Rent and Assassins and a wild turn as an unhinged version himself in the 2004 movie Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.
"I'm enjoying my 30s," he told PEOPLE in 2004. "I feel like I know where I'm going. And I like where I'm going."

Facing A Lawsuit, Perez Clams Up
First, photo-lifting vanity blogger Perez Hilton got called out on the red carpet by a FilmMagic paparazzo, who accused him of swiping a pic, which appeared to involve a Tommy Lee man-kiss.
Now, X17, one of the most popular celebrity photo agencies in the game, has Perez in its sights. "I think we're close to making a decision about how we're going to handle Perez," X17 V.P. Kelly Davis (the one Perez recently called a lying "cunt") tells Radar. She also adds via e-mail that other photo agencies who've been burned by photo-driven celebrity blogs (and perezhilton.com in particular) are getting organized and getting even.
Even celebrity weeklies are lining up against Perez (real name: Mario Lavandeira), says Davis: "One of the head photo editors at a top weekly mag is helping to organize a class action lawsuit against Mario and, in fact, our competition called us yesterday to discuss this."
A successful lawsuit could send a chill through the parasitic celebrity blog community, effectively putting out of business any webmaster who makes his living off of stolen paparazzi photos—and flooding the job market with unemployed fashion assistants and gossip column interns.
Lavandeira, who was working as a rookie gossip reporter before starting his blog, recently told Radar that the paparazzi willingly shared their shots with him and that he helps drum up a higher asking price for them by creating a buzz. A longtime loather of Perez, Davis insists that, while the agency might have failed to crack down on bloggers for copyright infringement initially, it never granted Perez permission to use pictures without paying, crediting, or linking back to the X17 blog (started several months ago in part to publish the agency's own photos before bloggers poach them).
Since sending a letter to Hilton demanding he stop using X17's images, Perez has continued to post the occasional shot, and only takes them down after X17 complains.Online petitioners have long called Perez on his pilfering and, in fact, wished herpes on him. But the hatred seems to be reaching its most actionable level to date. This time, it's just not feeding into his popularity.
Asked in several messages and IMs about stealing photos from X17 and other agencies, an impending lawsuit, and the paparazzi backlash against him, the man who previously answered questions about his past drug use, sexual fetishes, and suicidal thoughts did not respond.

LOS ANGELES -- Tom Cruise and producing partner Paula Wagner have been put in charge of United Artists, a film studio that was formed by Hollywood actors including Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford.
Wagner will serve as chief executive of the company, which is owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. Cruise will appear in UA films, but also be allowed to star in films from rival studios, MGM announced Thursday.
The development is a major comeback for Cruise and Wagner. They were unceremoniously dumped in August from their 14-year producing deal at Paramount Studios after Sumner Redstone, chairman of Paramount parent company Viacom Inc., blamed Cruise's public antics for hurting the box office performance of "Mission:Impossible III."

Sources Say Richie Collapses at Hyde
Posted Oct 29th 2006 9:02PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Nicole Richie
Sources tell TMZ that Nicole Richie passed out at Hyde nightclub early Sunday morning in Hollywood.
We're told it occurred just before 2 a.m., when Richie passed out and fell to the floor. An employee approached Richie and her friends and said he was calling 911. Sources say they told the employee not to make the call and that they would take Richie to a hospital. The friends then carried Richie out of the club through the back door. TMZ does not know if Richie went to the hospital.
Before Richie collapsed, we're told she hung out for awhile with Lindsay Lohan inside the club. Lohan had her own bizarre tale early Sunday morning on a street in Hollywood.
Late last week, Richie's reps confirmed that the "Simple Life" star entered a treatment facility to determine why she hasn't gained weight. Richie has looked shockingly thin over the last few months.
Richie's rep tells TMZ her client was at Hyde for approximately 20 minutes but denies that she collapsed.
Lindsay Lohan had a rough morning Sunday – and by the looks of it, a pretty rough night, too.
At 6:45 am, a TMZ spy spotted Lindsay at Olive and Sunset in Hollywood, near a dog park. Lindsay was sitting in her parked black Cadillac Escalade and our spy, who was walking his dog, could see Lohan through the tinted windows, "freaking out" and talking on her phone.
Then, Lohan called our spy over and told him that two men in a silver Toyota 4Runner -- parked behind her -- had been following her for the last two hours, trying to "hit" her vehicle. Our spy reports that "she seemed out of it," that it appeared she'd been out all night, and that she'd clearly been crying, with mascara running down her face. "I've called the cops," said Lindsay of her alleged pursuers. "But the cops can't catch them."
What Lindsay didn't even realize in her reduced state was that the two men in the Toyota were actually paparazzi. Our spy saw them snapping away. And, he says, as their vehicle started to creep up on Lindsay's Escalade, she shifted into drive, hit the gas and took off. The paparazzi followed her.
An email sent to her rep was not immediately returned.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Hollywood's most high-profile engaged couple have finally set a wedding date.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will marry in Italy on November 18, Cruise's representative, Arnold Robinson, confirmed to news organizations on Tuesday.
Cruise and Holmes were first photographed together in Rome in April 2005. Two months later, the "Mission: Impossible" actor announced he had proposed to Holmes atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The wedding date was reported by Us Weekly magazine on its Web site.
Holmes will wear a dress designed by Giorgio Armani, Robinson also confirmed. Armani told Us, "When I am asked by a friend to make a wedding wardrobe, it goes straight to my heart. It really is an honor to play a small role in that milestone moment."
Holmes, 27, and Cruise, 44, became engaged in June 2005. Their daughter, Suri, was born April 18. She made her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine last month. The photo showed Suri peeking out of a jacket worn by Cruise with Holmes looking on.
Holmes, who starred in TV's "Dawson's Creek," was previously engaged to actor Chris Klein. Cruise, previously married to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman, also had a high-profile romance with Penelope Cruz.

KATE IS HAVING A BABYSUPERMODEL
Kate Moss is pregnant with Pete Doherty's baby, his uncle said yesterday.
And gardener Phil Michels added that the couple were overjoyed at the news. He told the Sunday Mirror: "I have spoken to Pete twice about the baby and he has confirmed that Kate is pregnant."
It will be 32-year-old Kate's second child, after four-year-old Lila Grace with her ex, publisher Jefferson Hack.Pete, 27, has a three-year-old son, Estile with former partner Lisa Moorish.Phil said he spoke to Doherty on Friday when the singer called him from Italy, where he is performing with his band Babyshambles. The rocker told him Kate had had a scan, everything was fine so they were happy to share the news.
Phil said: "They are both delighted and Pete sounded really excited."
Kate, who has been relaxing in Italy with drug addict Pete, is expected to make an official announcement in weeks.
Phil, 57, Pete's favourite uncle, added:
"That is why they want to get married. Pete told me they want a baby together to cement their marriage.
"I am made up for them. I wish them every success. They're so happy, they love each other. I can't wait for the wedding - we are just waiting for a date."
Two weeks ago, the Sunday Mirror revealed Kate, estimated to be worth £25 million, and Pete were trying for a baby.
Pete rejoined his bandmates for the gigs in Italy after quitting the British tour earlier this month following orders from Kate - known as "The Millionairess" by his close friends.
Heroin and crack addict Pete - who had just finished a successful month-long stint at the Priory Clinic in Southgate, North London - had started using again.
He was spending up to £500 a day on drugs. As a result, Kate told him to pull the plug on the tour so he could continue rehab with her at his side - away from the druggie lifestyle on the road. Those concerts have been rescheduled for next month.

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Madonna's husband Guy Ritchie strongly disapproves of her adopting Malawian baby David Banda, it has been claimed.
The one-year-old boy was flown to London on Tuesday (17.10.06) after the singer and the 'Revolver' director were granted temporary custody of him but it has allegedly caused huge rows between the couple.A source told Britain's Closer magazine: "Guy was not in favour of adopting and the rows have caused tension between them, but Madonna has refused to back down."
She is one of six children and she always promised herself she would have a large family like her mother. Being 48, she is only too aware she would struggle to conceive. She's in terrific physical shape and still has bags of energy to put into bringing up another child. "Guy's own mother, Lady Amber Leighton, was forced to give up her first baby for adoption when she was an unmarried 17-year-old and this personal experience made Guy reluctant to adopt.
The source explained: "Guy's own personal heartbreak with adoption has left him very sceptical about doing it himself. But nothing could stop Madonna."
However, Guy's father John insists his son - who has never met his sibling who was put for adoption - is happy with the situation.John said: "Nothing would make me happier than if they adopt. It is the children that keep Guy and Madonna together."(c) BANG Media International.

October 16, 2006 -- OILY heir Brandon Davis appears to be running out of reserves.
Though he made fun of Lindsay "Firecrotch" Lohan, scoffing that she "only" had $7 million, the grandson of supposed billionaire Marvin Davis bounced a $10,000 check he gave to "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis, and he's also said to owe record producer Scott Storch and The Palm casino owner George Maloof.
Other clues the Davis clan isn't as liquid as was believed: Brandon's aunt, Patty Davis Raynes, is suing the family for more inheritance; his grandmother, Barbara, sold the family's estate in Beverly Hills for close to $42 million; and sources say Nancy Davis (Brandon's mom) is quietly selling her Bel Air home for around $15 million.
Before Brandon told Page Six, "[Bleep] you," and hung up, he explained that his check had bounced because he was switching banks and that he'd paid Francis back in cash (which Francis denies). The check, a copy of which was obtained by Page Six, states it was refused for "insufficient funds."
The family still has enough money for a spokesman, who told us, "There is no truth to these rumors." But he wouldn't comment on specific allegations.

Says he was unsettled when she exchanged vows with boyfriend
Manuel Balce Ceneta / Ap File
ATLANTA - Anna Nicole Smith’s lead attorney in the Bahamas said Wednesday he has withdrawn as counsel for the reality TV star, citing disagreements on matters of strategy and concerns about her conduct.
Michael Scott said he was unsettled by Smith’s decision to exchange vows with her boyfriend even before she made funeral arrangements for Daniel Smith, her 20-year-old son who died Sept.10. People magazine bought photos of the ceremony, which was not a legal wedding and was held aboard a catamaran on Sept. 28 in waters off Nassau, Bahamas.
“A disagreement on a commercial transaction made it difficult for us to remain as counsel,” Scott told The Associated Press over the phone.
A Nassau funeral home has been holding Daniel Smith’s embalmed body while awaiting further instructions from the family. He died while visiting Smith in a Bahamas hospital where she had given birth to a daughter three days earlier.
Bahamian police investigating Smith’s death expect to submit their report as early as this week to authorities who will determine whether a jury inquest is necessary.
Cyril Wecht, a forensic pathologist who conducted a private autopsy, concluded that he died from a lethal combination of methadone and two antidepressants.
‘Not really an amicable parting’Scott, who was also the attorney for Daniel Smith’s estate, said he decided to withdraw effective Tuesday after consulting with his partners. He said he has notified Anna Nicole Smith in writing.
“It was not really an amicable parting,” said Scott, reached on his cell phone in Florida.
Scott cited disagreements with Smith’s boyfriend and longtime attorney Howard K. Stern, who says he is the father of Anna Nicole’s newborn daughter.
There were “strong differences of opinion between myself and Howard over strategies,” said Scott, who declined to elaborate, citing attorney-client privilege.
A birth certificate at a Nassau registry, a copy of which was obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, lists Stern as the father of the baby girl, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern.
A lawsuit filed by Larry Birkhead, a former boyfriend of the former Playboy playmate, claims he is the girl’s father and demands that mother and daughter return to California for DNA paternity testing. A hearing in the case has been scheduled for Oct. 26 in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Smith, who was born 38 years ago in Mexia, Texas, as Vickie Lynn Hogan, has been married twice.
In 1985 she wed Bill Smith, her co-worker at a Texas restaurant, and gave birth to Daniel before divorcing two years later. And in 1994, she married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died the following year. She has since been embroiled in a legal dispute over his multimillion-dollar estate.

Hmmmm...
It's good to know Mel Gibson's friends adhere to the same rigid code of conduct he does. Rod Bernsen, the former Los Angeles TV reporter and police officer who was arrested Saturday on charges of molesting young boys aboard a cruise ship, is a close and longstanding friend of the Braveheart star, according to an entertainment industry source.
"Mel's going to shit," says the source, noting that Bernsen frequently accompanies Gibson on benders around Malibu—or at least used to, before Gibson entered rehab in August following his drunk-driving and Jew-baiting debacle.Law enforcement officials have not yet commented on the reason for Bernsen's arrest, but the Los Angeles Times is reporting that he stands accused of molesting two 12-year-old boys in the sauna of a cruise ship. His wife and child were with him on the cruise, according to the paper.
Bernsen, who is a cousin of L.A. Law star Corbin Bernsen, has spent much of his life working in and around the law. After retiring from the LAPD in 1992, he enjoyed a second career as a traffic reporter and criminal justice expert for Fox affiliate KTTV, where he was best known for providing color commentary on high-speed chases.
How does Gibson, who practices a notoriously austere version of Catholicism, feel about his buddy's alleged taste for underage boys? Hard to say; his rep didn't reply to a request for comment. But it appears Gibson and Bernsen have known each other since at least 1987, when Bernsen served as a technical advisor on Lethal Weapon. According to public records, both reside in the Los Angeles suburb of Agoura Hills, where, says the source, they've often subjected neighbors to their alcohol-fueled hijinks. "They're just wild guys together," she says.

Tim Allen Marries Longtime Girlfriend

LOS ANGELES -- More power to Tim Allen. The comic actor got married this weekend to his girlfriend of five years, actress Jane Hadjuk, in an intimate Colorado ceremony. The couple's family were the only guests at the private affair, held Saturday in Grand Lake, Colo., Allen's publicist, Marleah Leslie, said Monday. Allen's 17-year-old daughter, Katherine Dick, was among the attendees.
It is the first marriage for Hadjuk, 39, and the second for Allen, 53. He was previously married to Laura Deibel. Hadjuk and Allen appeared together earlier this year in the children's action film "Zoom."
Allen, whose early comedy routines often centered on men and power tools, hit stardom with his long-running TV series "Home Improvement." He'll be seen in the upcoming "The Santa Clause 3" with Martin Short and recently finished filming Disney's "Wild Hogs" with John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy.

Really BAD prank
You know, sometimes when you think it would be really funny to do something, it might just be a good idea to listen to that little naysayer in your head...the one that says "this could come back to bite me in the ass"...
from the drudge report:
XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 5 2006 2:53:48 ET XXXXX
CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE MESSAGES WERE PAGE PRANK GONE AWRY
**World Exclusive** **Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**
According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded an unwitting Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats.
The primary source, an ally of Edmund, adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund. Both are fearful that their political careers will be affected if they are publicly brought into the matter.
The prank scenario only applies to the Edmund IM sessions and does not necessarily apply to any other exchanges between the former congressman and others. The news come on the heels that Edmund has hired former Timothy McVeigh attorney, Stephen Jones.
Developing...
False Scandal
I have heard from some camps that this was a careful orchestration by Democrats to get votes in their favor, since elections are in a few weeks and this just fuels that fire. Apparently, because of an easy IM glitch, the former page accusing Mark Foley of harrassing him while underage was actually 18 years old when it happened. He is now 21.
See, and people want to think that teens are so sweet and innocent. Look at almost any account of a teen on myspace.com and you'll see that most teens are, in fact, not that innocent.
My question is, who put this former page up to accusing Foley? Who stands to gain from this?

A source close to Vaughn tells Us that the split happened just before the actor left for London to begin work on his holiday comedy, Joe Claus. “It’s not common knowledge, but we’re not together anymore,” Vaughn told the insider September 13, adding that they solidified the breakup in a long phone conversation.
“We’ve split up.” Confirms an Aniston pal: “They’re 100 percent done.” Soon afterward, Vaughn, 36, canceled plans for Aniston, 37, to visit him in London for a September 23 party, says the source.
What went wrong? Sources tell Us that the relationship began to unravel almost immediately after Vaughn’s June 27 proposal to Aniston. So what has become of the $500,000, 9.5-carat canary yellow diamond Vaughn picked out for Aniston? What did Vaughn’s mother say to Vince to make him think twice about marrying Jen? What does Jen’s ex Brad Pitt think of Aniston losing at love? For more details on Jen and Vince’s split and what they’re up to now that they’re single, check out the current issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now.

off of page six:
October 4, 2006 -- IT'S for real - Tori Spelling is pregnant, friends of the starlet confirmed to Page Six. She's about three months along, and she and hubby Dean McDermott are said to be overjoyed. Maybe the baby's arrival will help heal the rift between Spelling and her mother, Candy, who have been fighting for the past year. Candy was upset with her portrayal in Tori's short-lived, reality-based VH1 show, "So NoTORIous." This will be the second child for McDermott, who has a son with his ex-wife. Spelling's rep declined comment.

Strange & Perverted

off of defamer.com:
Foley sent his “Gone to Detox Mansion” fax from Clearwater, Florida. Are there any rehab joints there that aren’t run by Scientology? Remember, that’s the same cult that says they can ‘cure’ homosexuality ….Let’s investigate, after the jump.
Clearwater is known as the town Scientology built … or at least the town Scientology almost completely redeveloped. Clearwater is also home to Narconon, L. Ron Hubbard’s homemade rehab program.
And it turns out Foley was no stranger in Clearwater.
At a 2003 Scientology meeting, Foley gave a speech and was photographed happily accepting “leatherbound copies of Dianetics and The Way to Happiness.”
In 1999, Foley joined three other Scientology-friendly politicians in condemning Germany for outlawing Scientology — German law is very strict about cults, because of previous problems.
The Clearwater Scientologists also held a fund-raiser for Foley’s aborted Senate run; he dropped out after the gay thing was mentioned.
And on Friday, the Creative Loafing blog in Tampa reported that Foley attended a Scientology gala in Los Angeles five years ago.

Eva and Tony Call It Quits – For Real
After a day of rumor, suggestion, and speculation, now it's official: Eva Longoria and NBA star Tony Parker are finished as a couple. "They did break up. It's amicable," says a source to People magazine. "It's distance and demanding careers and not living in the same city. It didn't happen yesterday. It's been going on for a while."
Earlier in the day, a source from the San Antonio Spurs, Parker's team, had said the break-up rumors weren't true, and Longoria's rep Liza Anderson had said that the two were "going through a very difficult time." The pair met in November 2004 and confirmed their coupledom by August 2005.

Lindsay denying split
We caught up with La Lohan at the Ivy today where she lunched with semi-boyfriend Harry Morton and on her way in she told us she's still "with" him. When asked about her rumored hookup(s) with Stavros she said ... well, check it out ...(video available at X17)
and off of TMZ:
Though Lindsay Lohan told cameras on Monday she's still with boyfriend Harry Morton, he's got a different story.
"Lindsay is an amazing girl and we're just sort of taking a little breather right now," Morton told "EXTRA" correspondent Carlos Diaz, adding the two are "slowing things down." The pair garnered a lot of attention from the paparazzi, something Morton took issue with.
He tells Diaz, "There's just a lot of pressure sometimes, it can screw things up, the media getting involved, it always makes it more difficult."Harry's also slamming reports he bought La Lohan an engagement ring in August while cameras caught him shopping at Cartier. His actual purchase that day -- a lighter.
Though his personal life may be having a rough patch, his Pink Taco restaurant chain is taking off. With one in Las Vegas and another in Scottsdale, AZ, Morton plans to expand the chain to at least six other locations, with one in Los Angeles opening in January 2007.

Anna Nicole NOT married, publicist clarifiesAnna Nicole and Howard Pledge Their 'Commitment'
ET has confirmed that ANNA NICOLE SMITH and her friend and lawyer, HOWARD K. STERN -- who claims to be the father of her newborn baby -- were united in a commitment ceremony early Thursday morning in the Bahamas, according to her publicist.
Anna Nicole and Howard "escaped their house" at three o'clock this morning, according to their press release, "and boarded a boat to quietly sail the ocean around Nassau ... on a clandestine sail to recapture simple pleasures -- fresh salt air on the face, a sunrise on the ocean, and wind in their hair. And then a good thing happened: during the sail, Anna Nicole Smith and Howard K. Stern made a commitment before God to be there for one another, to be each other's strength during this difficult time."
By mid-morning, helicopters flew overhead, speed boats approached, and camera-equipped scuba divers invaded what had been an otherwise perfect moment of peace, solitude, and hope," continues the statement. "The event was intended to be totally private between two adults deeply in love with each other and needing simple reassurances that they could count on one another through life's ups and downs. The outing was never expected to be shared with anyone other than Howard, Anna, [her newborn daughter] DANNIELYNN HOPE and a few close friends and family."
Although the ceremony was officiated, it was not a wedding and no marriage certificate was issued, according to the release.It was on September 10 that Anna Nicole's son, 20-year-old DANIEL, tragically died in her hospital room of what turned out to be a lethal combination of prescription drugs.

Steven Tyler & Pam Anderson have something in common

Hepatitis C. How did he NOT get it earlier?
***
off of Tabloid Whore:
The New York Daily News reports that on Access Hollywood tomorrow night, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler reveals that he had been battling hepatitis C for the past few years. Tyler said that he was officially diagnosed 3 years ago, but he has had it for a long time, being asymptomatic for many years.
Hepatitis C, which according to the CDC is a disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), is also what Pamela Anderson announced a few years ago she has and claimed to have caught from sharing a tattoo needle with her ex-husband Tommy Lee.
Tyler said that he underwent a year of successful interferon treatments to battle the virus and told host Nancy O'Dell the Hep C is now "nonexistent in my bloodstream, where it's like a complete cure." He added, "I've been pretty quiet about this." "The band took a break about three years ago. [My doctor] said now is the time, and it's 11 months of chemotherapy," actually, interferon, which strengthens the immune system "so I went on that, and it about killed me." Tyler adds, "It's a shot and pills and all of that. But the good news is I stood the test of time."
