From TMZ and is a reminder needed that dr. quack-phil isn't a real doctor? He has no business trying to "treat" britney.
TMZ has learned Dr. Phil's visit with Britney Spears was not exactly as advertised.
People on the 7th floor at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center say the doctor arrived about 7:30 AM Saturday. We're told Britney did not invite him in; she didn't even know he was coming. Sources say it was Brit's parents who told Dr. Phil to go to the hospital. When he walked into her room, we're told, a blindsided Britney walked out -- and eventually came back.
Sources say Phil tried speaking with Spears for about 15 minutes -- not an hour as Dr. Phil's press release states -- but she wanted none of it. We're told Phil was doing almost all the talking. As for walking with her to the car on her way out -- again, as his release states -- we're told if he was walking behind her, that's news to her. She absolutely was not accompanied by him.
Sources say Dr. Phil somehow convinced Brit's mom and dad to be on his show, which will tape Monday and air Tuesday (it was just moved up a day), but as one person put it, "Based on the interaction between Dr. Phil and Britney this morning, it'll be a cold day in hell before Britney goes on his show." We're told she absolutely will not appear on the program.
Sources say Dr. Phil wants to do a television intervention, something that isn't sitting well with some of the people who have known for a while that Britney has a very serious mental condition -- likely a bipolar disorder that is now in the red zone.
TMZ contacted Cedars to find out why the hospital let a television doctor on a floor that has such fragile patients, particularly since Britney had no idea he was coming. It's especially troublesome that Cedars let Dr. Phil go uninvited to Britney's room, since she had already been discharged and presumably had a right to know if someone wanted to visit. A Cedars rep made it short and sweet, telling us, "No comment."
A rep from the "Dr. Phil" show had no comment as well, other than "Dr. Phil met with Ms. Spears at family members' invitation."

Is the world just coming apart?
I just don't know anymore, all the crazy shit that is happening! This from the Daily Mail:
Star's fury over claims by Diana author Andrew Morton:
Star's fury over claims by Diana author Andrew Morton:
• Daughter by Katie Holmes "conceived like Rosemary's Baby"
• Nicole Kidman "feared blackmail" over sex tapes made with Scientologists
• Scientologists "planted meadown of flowers for Tom and Nicole to run through"
• Cruise's next mission is to recruit David Beckham
Tom Cruise has become the de-facto second in command of the Church of Scientology, according to a new biography - which makes an extraordinary attack on the star by comparing his 20-month-old daughter Suri to the Devil's child in the film Rosemary's Baby.
Andrew Morton's unauthorised biography claims Scientology has taken over the 45-year-old actor's life, with its officials selecting many of the staff at his Hollywood mansion.
The biographer of Princess Diana alleges Cruise is consulted by Scientology leader David Miscavige on "every aspect of planning and policy" and is tailoring his career to fit the aims of Scientology.
Miscavige is said in the book to have gone to extraordinary lengths to charm Cruise, even ordering his staff to plant a field full of wild flowers at a Scientology base in California after Cruise had told him of his fantasy to run through a wildflower meadow with his then newlywed wife Nicole Kidman.
The relationship between the two men is so close that, according to Morton's book, Miscavige even joined him on honeymoon in the Maldives after his wedding to Katie Holmes in 2006.
Cruise denies each of the claims vehemently, and Scientology lawyers are believed to be drawing up a lawsuit seeking £50million in compensation from Morton's publishers, St Martin's Press.
Cruise's lawyer and close confidante Bert Fields gave a rare interview to The Mail on Sunday to pour scorn on Morton's book, titled Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography.
He criticised a passage in which Morton claims some "fanatical" Scientologists believed Suri Cruise was actually the result of a sperm donation by Scientology's dead founder, L. Ron Hubbard.
Morton writes that Ms Holmes may feel she was in "the horror movie Rosemary's Baby, in which an unsuspecting young woman is impregnated with the Devil's child".
Mr Fields said: "It's not being published in England. The American publishers criticised the libel laws in Britain because they require an author to tell the truth. Well, thank God for the British libel laws."
Cruise will not be reading the book when it is published in the United States on January 15, Mr Fields said. "He has no intention of reading it. He's very, very busy with a lot of things right now.
"He has been told about it and naturally he knows there are a bunch of lies about him. You can imagine what it must be like to have someone compare your baby girl to Rosemary's Baby. Morton should be ashamed of himself.
"It's a boring, poorly researched book by a man who never talked to anyone involved in Tom Cruise's life or anyone close to him.
"There's no real independent research. He hasn't spoken to his mother, his sister, me, Paula Wagner [Cruise's film producing partner], his agent, his wives, David Beckham, Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez or any of the famous directors he's worked with. Instead you've got this long, boring reference to people he knew 30 years ago."
Morton's book paints a picture of a talented actor who tasted enormous success at a young age and then gradually became consumed by Scientology.
He recounts how the actor was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV in 1962 and moved around North America with his parents, living in Ottawa, Canada, until the age of 12, when his mother Mary Lee left his abusive father.
His involvement in Scientology began in 1986 when he was recruited by his first wife Mimi Rogers, a Scientologist who gave him some literature on the subject.
L. Ron Hubbard, a science-fiction writer, created Scientology in 1954. Its followers have fought hard to have the system of beliefs recognised as a religion, and its central teaching is that life's problems can be solved through a system of oneonone counselling called "auditing", measured by an "E-meter".
Courses can cost thousands, and critics make much of the doctrine of "Thetans" - alien spirits inhabiting human bodies who have to be flushed out.
Scientologists have also attracted criticism for the practice of "disconnect", where followers are encouraged to cut off friends and family members who do not follow Scientology.
Morton claims Scientologists pursued Cruise as part of a campaign to recruit celebrities.
Morton says David Miscavige sought to rebuild Scientology's reputation, battered by a fraud scandal in 1982.
He invited Cruise to his "desert lair" in 1989, a 500-acre resort in Hemet, 90 miles from Los Angeles, nicknamed "Gold Base".
Miscavige lives there with Scientology's most devoted followers called Sea Organisation or Sea Org.
and in WGA strike news:
from Nikki Finke's:
SATURDAY UPDATE: I've just been told that the Hollywood/Big Media CEOs who belong to the AMPTP are furious at MGM chairman Harry Sloan for "allowing" this WGA-United Artists deal to go through.
FRIDAY NIGHT: This is big. This is BIG! Because WGA sources just told me that the guild has clinched an "Independent Agreement" with Tom Cruise's and Paula Wagner's re-started United Artists. This now means that small and struggling UA has a leg up on every other Hollywood studio because it will be able to hire the striking writers. 
This is to date the first so-called side deal cut by the WGA with a movie studio since the strike began on November 3rd as part of the guild's newly articulated "divide and conquer" strategy. The WGA's first side deal with a production company was an "interim agreement" with David Letterman's Worldwide Pants which owns both The Late Show and the Late Late Show airing on CBS. Granted, given how tiny UA is -- only six executives -- and how limited their movie development can be, this is more of a symbolic than a significant development in the ongoing WGA strike.
I'm told that, like Letterman's company, UA has accepted the very same proposals that the WGA presented to the media conglomerates when the Alliance Of Motion Picture & Television Producers walked out of contract negotiations back on December 7th. "It's the same kind of agreement that the guild made with [David Letterman's] Worldwide Pants. But 'interim agreement' is not the right word," a WGA insider explained to me. "At the end of the day, once an overall agreement is done between the WGA and AMPTP, if the terms and conditions of that agreement are more favorable to UA, they will be able to enjoy that. This essentially means that UA has the ability to be in business with the WGA."
The very latest on Britgate....
And I might not post about her again unless it's really huge (I realize how that sounds & it sounds bad but it's not meant that way).....just because it's all so surreal and crazy. I mean, it's not like Brit's the only big star in the universe, others have learned how to cope and not go insane (that we know of)....she could learn some lessons on how to get along (and I'm not saying i'm fans of these other celebs but clearly they deal with celebrity far better than Brit): the Osmonds....they feed the public doses of what they want to be seen; team Cruise, not fond of him but he does manage his celebrity or rather the C of $ manages it for him(no, i'm not saying she should sign up for C of $...don't be silly); Madonna...c'mon, she has been absolutly HUGE and has a good team of security to help her deal; Brangelina....Gwen stefani....Xtina.....there are so many who do better. It's just hard to feel sympathy for Brit when she could clearly have better security and peace of mind and for some reason refuses to use the resources. Anyway, here's what's up from C-PWN & PageSix:
Britney has already been released from the hospital on Saturday morning. According to TMZ she was throwing a tantrum on the 7th floor demanding to be released. She was reportedly screaming at staff and would not stay still even pulling her IV out. There is a rumor that the troubled star suffers from bipolar disorder
After returning home from the hospital earlier this morning, Britney Spears is back on the road.
Just eight minutes ago, the brokendown pop wreck left her Beverly Hills mansion in her white Mercedes, saw photographers and turned in the other direction.
Currently, she's driving aimlessly near her house.
Meanwhile, media eyes spotted her father Jamie Spears leaving his daughter's gated community shortly after she left. Kevin Federline hasn't left his house all day and is still holed up with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Stay tuned...

Remember TC and his bridebot?
yeah, now all of a sudden pregnancy's a problem. Makes me think Suri really was adopted secretly or somebody else is the father, especially when Mimi Rogers, the first wife, said that cruise couldn't make her pregnant. From digital spy:
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are rumoured to be consulting a fertility expert to help them have another baby.
The couple are believed to be struggling to conceive a sibling for 20-month-old daughter Suri and plan to visit LA's Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre later this month for advice.
Now quotes a source as saying: "Katie is so upset. They both really want another child but it just doesn't seem to be happening. She says they have been trying since last summer. Tom and Katie have decided to go and see a specialist."
Cruise also has two adopted children - Connor, 12, and 14-year-old Isabella - with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, but reportedly wants another son to add to the family.
Holmes was rumoured to be pregnant last June and July, but recently said she was in "no particular rush" to have another child.

And in other Spears news...
from the Daily Mail:
Jamie Lynn Spears' TV show 'cancelled' after teen pregnancy
Britney Spears's pregnant sister Jamie Lynn Spears' hit TV show Zoey 101 has reportedly been cancelled.
The Nickelodeon show is set to broadcast its final episode of the third season in the U.S. on Friday and has already completed filming on the fourth.
News of the programme's demise comes two weeks after 16-year-old Jamie Lynn revealed she was pregnant with her first child.
Teenage parents: Jamie Lynn and Casey Aldridge will become parents in the summer
While Nickelodeon are yet to release a follow-up statement regarding the future of the show, sources told The Sun the end is nigh.
An insider says, "Nickelodeon bosses are still undecided whether to air season four or not.
"For now it looks like it has been canned."

ONTD Blind Item for your new year!
What teen heartthrob recently walked into his New York City hotel room, only to find his girlfriend giving his brother a blow job. Our heartthrob proceeded to call his girlfriend a slut, which only lead to her screaming and throwing a bracelet he gave her at the wall. Seems like these boys really are getting around. Rumor has it that several hotel employees have caught the boys shuffling girls in and out of their hotel room. Now tell me, if you have oral sex, are you still considered pure???
*Spin's guess & the consensus is the Jonas brothers & Miley Cyrus!*
Happy New YEAR!!!
For all my readers (who are the greatest readers), I hope you have a prosperous New Year!
From the Panache Report:
SKY VILLA PRESENTS:
BLIND ITEM: (PEDOPHILIA & DOWNLOW CRAZE IN BLACK HOLLYWOOD)
There is currently a secretive network of men in black Hollywood who congregate discreetly for pedophilia events.
There have always been rumors surrounding a black male star. Allegedly, an up and coming star (teenager) at the time idolized him. When a meeting was arranged and they were left alone, allegedly, the teenager was sexually molested by this man.
Afterwards, he stopped referring to him as his idol.
*Spin's guess: Usher & MJ maybe?*
Rumors have always persisted that a former NFL star (you don't have to follow football to know who he is) is a major pedophile. He even belongs to pedophile chat groups and he operates online with an untraceable offshore IP.
*Spin's heard Deion Sanders but why does O.J spring to mind? Lynn Swann maybe?*
The men who belong to this rich and famous network are protected by other powerbrokers involved in this organization. Mainly, powerful lawyers, judges, etc. They look after their own and have the power to have a case drag out or disappear altogether because they don't want the defendant to take a plea deal and reveal their identities. Many of the men are powerful millionaires.
*Spin has no idea, NAMBLA?*
A former basketball star had to pay off the family of a underage girl because they threatened to go public when they found out about the relationship. The girl was 15, the basketball star at the time, was in his 30's.
*Could be anybody, Jason Kidd?*
Some of these men hide away children they purchase in overseas countries. They bring them over here for sex slave activity.
A prominent lawyer was busted some years ago when it was discovered he had purchased two underage boys overseas on the pipeline (black market) and smuggled them back into the U.S. His co-workers were not even aware that the young boys lived with him. One of the boys escaped his home while he was at work and notified the cops.
*Spin's guess: Johnny Cochran?*
It was once featured on AMW that a young black man appeared on his sister's doorstep, asking for help, he had just got laid off. Unbeknownst to her, he was a member of NAMBLA (North American Man Love Boy Association). While she was at work, he was pimping out her 12-year-old son (his nephew) to other NAMBLA pedophiles who lived in the area for quick cash.
*Don't know, R. Kelly?*
In regards to pedophiles in the music industry, record companies have so much invested in their talent that they look the other way and a few media outlets have been known to accept under the table payment "not" to report on their sickness or to spin it when the truth leaks out.
*Spin's guess: R. Kelly*
A black powerbroker music mogul was never a hit with the models and call girls in the sack. Word got back to him and he decided to act on his gay tendencies. After we reported on his love shack in L.A., he sold the property and does business from New York. He is the ringleader for the downlow events among black entertainers, he organizes all of the events and functions. He also loves to sleep with young muscular men.
*Spin has heard Dr Dre*

From ONTD:
***I've always liked Angelina regardless of what other ppl thought, now I have one more reason!***
It is cause for billions of people to rejoice. But not these celebrity Grinches - sorry, atheists.
They are the stars who do not believe three wise men followed a star to a baby in a manger more than 2000 years ago.
Some seem to have given no thought to the concept of a higher being.
Take Angelina Jolie.
In the September 6, 2000 edition of The Onion A.V. Club titled "Is There A God?", celebrities were asked the question. Jolie was among those asked.
She reportedly replied: "Hmm... For some people. I hope so, for them. For the people who believe in it, I hope so. There doesn't need to be a God for me. There's something in people that's spiritual, that's godlike. I don't feel like doing things just because people say things, but I also don't really know if it's better to just not believe in anything, either."
Then there are those who seem to have thought about it a little too much.
Aussie actress Rachel Griffiths is arguably a case in point.
When asked by Madison magazine in 2000 if she was religious, Griffiths answered: "Although I'm not Christian, I was raised Christian. I'm an atheist, with a slight Buddhist leaning.
"I've got a very strong sense of morality - it's just a different morality than the loud voices of the Christian morality ... I can't tell you how many films I've turned down because there was an absence of morality.
"And I don't mean that from any sort of Judeo-Christian/Muslim point of view. I'm not saying they're wrong and can't be made. But, fundamentally, I'm such a humanist that I can't bear to make films that make us feel humanity is more dark than it is light."

And a merry Christmas to all those who believe. To those who don't, merry Tuesday.
Bob Geldof ... as long as Michael Hutchence isn't in heaven he's probably not
bothered. And Michael probably doesn't want to be there.
Bill Gates ... isn't he God?
Marlon Brando ... now he could well be God if Gates isn't.
Bjork ... if Santa's north pole setup was real she'd have seen him from nearby
Iceland.
Ani DiFranco ... no prospect of a Christmas album from her either.
Katharine Hepburn ... her advice is just to be nice.
Bruce Lee ... sleep beats traditional notions of spirituality.
Jodie Foster ... doesn't pray in the panic room.

So she's just fat?
from IDLYITW.com:
Jennifer Aniston hasn't been in the news lately, so her publicist made up a story that Aniston was pregnant, let people talk about it for a few days, then released a statement saying Aniston is not pregnant. See how that works? Us Magazine says:
The National Enquirer reported that Aniston, 38, is expecting and speculated that the father could be either Vince Vaughn, Paul Sculfor or Sex and the City hunk Jason Lewis. But her rep tells Usmagazine.com: "She is not pregnant."...The star "is in a great mood," a source told Us, despite the fact that she didn't have a date and "left alone" after the Christmas Eve dinner. "There's no drama, and that's why she's happy!"
****yeah, remember the testosterone shot thing? I guess she did put on a few pounds after stopping the shots! Pics are from Xmas eve, according to IDLYITW

Smoking ban to hit French cafes
Sunday, December 30th 2007, 4:00 AM
PARIS - At Le Cerceau, a café in the heart of the garment district here, the coffee's strong, the cigarette smoke's thick - and the customers wouldn't have it any other way.
"It's a tradition," said Giorgio Marciano, 47, enjoying a midday smoke.
But Marciano and the 14 million other smokers in France will have to make do without their cherished clopes after Tuesday. That's when France becomes the latest country to ban smoking in restaurants, bars, nightclubs and the most hallowed spot of all - the café.
"It's the end of the French café, the end of the French bistro," said bartender Cyrille L'Hernete, who called the ban a good thing even though 80% of Le Cerceau's customers smoke.
"I have the right to have a coffee and smoke!" retorted an angry customer, who declined to give his name.
In an unexpected move in a country where lighting up is something of a national sport, most Paris restaurant and café owners are lining up behind the smoking ban, with some 800 establishments already smoke-free.
"More people will go to cafés because there's no smoke, no odor," said Philippe Rabes, manager of Le Nemours, a café across from the Louvre. He said he hasn't lost business since banning smoking 10 months ago.
His prediction is not echoed by industry groups, which contend it will drive bar tabac owners out of business. Some 10,000 tobacco sellers marched through Paris in November demanding exceptions to the law. They lost.
Authorities in France promise to "gradually" enforce the law, which will slap errant smokers with a $99 penalty and fine owners $197 per offense.
***
and this is from http://www.coffeeshop.freeuk.com/General/FAQ.html
Is cannabis legal in Holland?
Strictly speaking, no. Possession of small quantities is decriminalised, meaning it's a non-criminal offence like a parking ticket. In practice, even the law against selling cannabis is not enforced in Amsterdam.
What about this new law banning smoking in public places?
The Netherlands is following New York (formerly New Amsterdam, of course) in banning smoking in all places of work, including bars, restaurants and coffeeshops. The law is designed to protect workers from the effects of second-hand smoke and was not particularly aimed at coffeeshops but could have a drastic effect on them nevertheless.
From January 2004 it will be illegal to smoke cigarettes or joints in any enclosed public space, forcing smokers to indulge outside. Bars have negotiated an extension until 2005 but, after that time, although coffeeshops will still be able to sell cannabis, patrons will have to go outside to smoke it.
The Dutch are keen cigarette smokers and smoke everywhere. There are smoking areas on trains, for instance (there is, of course, a powerful anti-smoking lobby too). Smokers and bar owners tend to view the idea of a smoking ban as a bit of a joke. They don't believe it would be enforced but the law makers still seem determined and the current Dutch government would appreciate the side-effect on coffeeshops as a way of appeasing the French and American governments.
The latest situation is that no general smoking ban will be imposed on bars, cafes or restaurants until 2009. It is still not clear, however, whether the ban will apply to coffeeshops then or indeed whether it already applies to them, at least in principle, because they are not considered to be catering establishments. The good news is that, for the time being, you can still smoke in most coffeeshops in most cities.
Can one smoke anywhere in Amsterdam?
No. It's not that you're likely to get arrested, it's simply a matter of good manners. Some bars and hotels don't mind smoking pot but others detest it. If you want to know whether it's cool to smoke in a place, just ask politely.
Are all drugs acceptable?
The Netherlands is not the Wild West. On the contrary, it's exceptionally civilised with a sensible and constructive attitude to drugs. The use of cannabis is tolerated. The likes of cocaine and heroin are not. Having said that, ecstasy and even cocaine testing kits are available in the smartshops.
Never buy any drugs on the street. You *will* get ripped off. Stick to the coffeeshops and smartshops.
What is the minimum age to enter a coffeeshop?
The age limit for smoking and drinking is 18. If you look under 18 be sure to carry some ID as checks are common.

And from TMZ....
Could there be yet another celebutot on the way, this time from Nicole Kidman?
TMZ contacted reps for Kidman, but haven't yet received a response to a Daily Mail report that Nicole is expecting. According to the report, Nic and hubby Keith Urban broke the news to their families during Christmas, and she'll be "winding down" her acting jobs in preparation.
Kidman, 40, adopted two kids during her '90s marriage to the current Mr. Katie Holmes, which ended in 2001.

#2 You know that required physical from yesterday? Reason for the physical? Abortion. Father? Unknown.

OMG
oh no he di'int!
I soooo hope this isn't true...otherwise, Will Smith is truly a moron and a dumbass.
from GossipBoulevard:
Actor Will Smith has stunned the world by declaring that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was a “good” person. The 39 year-old star, who likes to see the best in people, is convinced the former German leader did not fully understand the extent of the pain and suffering his actions would cause during his time in power. ”Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘Let me do the most evil thing I can do today’. I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good’. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming,” he said. Hitler’s leadership as Fuhrer during the 1930s and early 1940s resulted in the persecution of an estimated six million Jews in the Holocaust, and later on led to the start of the Second World War.

off of\Film:
Jessica Simpson’s new movie Blonde Ambition was released on 8 screens this weekend in Jessica’s home state of Texas, before it gets dumped on DVD next month (January 22nd 2008 to be exact). /Film correspondent Steve Mason sent us this hilarious report:
As has been reported, Jessica is dating Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, and she was at Texas Stadium last Sunday when Romo had his all-time worst performance ever against the Philadelphia Eagles All week long, Jessica has been public enemy #1 with Cowboy fans. Fans of America’s team believe that “Romessica” will derail the Cowboys on the way to the Super Bowl in Arizona on February 3.
Blonde Ambition averaged $48 per screen on Friday for a total box office of $384. Based on an $8 ticket price, that means that 6 people paid to see the movie at each of those theatres, and only 48 people went to see the movie! That’s amazing! One of the worst performances a movie has ever had.
I am projecting that Jessica’s “star vehicle” will gross just $1,190 this weekend or $149 per location.
Some Jamie Lynn Fallout news:
from the Gossip Fix:
Execs at Nickelodeon aren’t the only ones grappling with how to deal with Jamie Lynn Spears’ shocking teen pregnancy: so are teen magazine editors:
“I was considering her for an upcoming cover,” CosmoGIRL! Editor-in-Chief Susan Schulz told Usmagazine.com Friday. “But with this news, I’d have to rethink that.”
Though she praised Spears, 16, for “taking responsibility,” Schulz added, “I don’t feel like I can put her on the cover right now because, as you can imagine, girls are disappointed in Jamie Lynn.”
Ann Shoket, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen, tells Us “we would certainly consider” putting Jamie Lynn on the cover, but only after the Zoey 101 star “overcomes this moment” and goes on “to have a career our readers can look up to.
“Getting pregnant at 16 is not something we’re encouraging,” Shoket says.
Schulz says she doesn’t expect teen girls to follow in her footsteps.
Schulz said Spears “appears to be very resolved in her decision, and regardless of whether girls agree with her actions or not, they see that she is doing what she personally feels is best despite the uproar over her news.”
Maybe Jaime Lynn should think about Modern Maternity, Parents Magazine or Working Mother Magazine?
and Blohan's reaction about the 16 yr old's oven bakin' from Popsugar:
LL keeps herself out of the juicy headlines these days and she's not impressed with what is taking her place. She recently commented to OK! about Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy, saying, "Why do people think it's such a big deal?" Well, when you've had the year that LL has, it's no wonder she's so blasé.
Blind ITems!!!
from various places:
A) This one almost makes me want to jump up and down and scream. Unfortunately I am physically unable to do so. But on the inside. The inside it is happening. Married couple. A list celebrities, but B list in their chosen profession if you judge their recent results. Husband was kicked out. He cheated. If you saw who this was, you would be jumping up and down too. Unfortunately, he is probably going to be allowed back into the house because they can't stop appearing in public together. I can't believe he cheated. Crazy. (CDAN)
B) This celebrity endured a long and painful divorce. She was heartbroken for months and it took a long time to recover. She was always close to her mother and welcomed her advice. Suddenly one day for no apparent reason she cut all ties with her mom and never wanted to see her again. Why? Insiders say our famous person suspects her mother of having an affair with her exhusband! Now she despises them both. (Janet Charlton's Hollywood)
C) Married and mega successful, with several children, but how to account for the gay young things seen coming and going from his trailer during production of his next hit? They were not part of the crew and they were not there to work… at least not on the film. Word is, he is insatiable and needs variety. Rarely does the same boy visit twice. And rarely are the boys not well taken care of. Though they are not paid professionals, per se, but they are compensated for being pretty and bendy. This is apparently a requirement. All of them have been observed to share the same body type: lean and fresh with short hair and they look like they all “belong in a music video”. Satisfaction guaranteed on both sides. He gets his and they get trips, clothes, watches, iPods… like a gay holiday year round! Always tip well to avoid talkers, savvy? (Lainey & She's already established that it isn't xenu's fav. TC)
D) Which showbiz couple had a secret split last year? When the gorgeous star caught her man in bed with her sister, he had to promise her a baby before she would get back with him . . (Page Six)
and for a couple reveals that I found:
Jonathan Jaxon's blog: Which top male music mogul once slept with his former male assistant?
Revealed by JJ as P. Diddy (Blind Item Collective)
This former A+ film actor and now a B+er with some issues has been known in the past to lend a helping hand. This time he was returning from the set of his latest film when he saw a couple on the side of the road and their car obviously not going anywhere because of the smoke coming out of it. The shoulder was very narrow and the car was almost on the highway, but no one was stopping. Our actor stopped the car he was driving and he and his passenger got out to see if they could help. After discovering the couple had no cell phone with them, and were on vacation and didn't know anyone to call, our actor let them borrow his phone and call for help. Help was going to be at least 90 minutes, so our actor offered them a lift. The problem was he was driving a two seater, and there were four people total including the actor, his companion, and the couple. Our actor told the companion/assistant to stay behind and watch the car, and then got the couple situated in the passenger seat with the woman sitting on the man's lap. He then drove them to their hotel 30 minutes away, bought them dinner and stayed with them until our actor's companion/assistant showed up at the hotel with tow truck and broken down car which was taken back to the place from which it was rented.Answer - Ben Affleck (Blind Item Collective)

Fear not
According to Ted C., things between Jake & Reese should be cooling off soon and we can all get back to Toothy Tile whispers:
Sweet Aftertaste
"Don't know how long this thing with Reese will go on."—Close bud to Jake Gyllenhaal, regarding the length of this thing between R 'n' J, whose sugary affections for each other we thankfully haven't had to stomach much of...lately
Why's that? Because according to these mutual amigos we share, both Reese and Jake have been trying personal sitches that, uh, pull them away from each other a lot. Wonder what sitches those could possibly be? No matter. Both cuties are darling. Hope they find mucho happiness in '08.
Just ain't gonna be with each other.

Remember Miss Puerto Rico
and the whole pepper spray thing? That somebody tried to sabotage her, then is was suspect? Well, turns out she was telling the truth:
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — After a flurry of accusations and skepticism, an exhaustive investigation has determined that someone did try to sabotage a beauty contestant's bid for the Miss Puerto Rico Universe by dousing her garments with pepper spray, police said Wednesday.
The attempt failed because Ingrid Marie Rivera maintained her composure while appearing before judges and cameras, then went backstage to remove her clothes and apply ice bags to her swollen and splotched face and body. She went on to win the crown last month.
Police will present the results of their three-week-long investigation to the district attorney, who will decide whether to file charges against the suspect, a volunteer at the pageant, said San Juan police Detective Ivonne Reyes. Reyes refused to identify the volunteer or discuss a possible motive.

Is Jessica Biel invading Justin Timberlake's space? Us Weekly reports the lately sourpuss-sporting actress has moved her stuff and her pooch into the chart topper's Los Angeles digs. "She doesn't plan on leaving," a source helpfully tells the mag. The paparazzi-loathing lovebirds have been dating since early 2007, but Timberlake has spent much of the year on the road with his FutureSex/LoveShow tour, which wrapped this month. Back in September, the crooner revealed to Oprah that he stayed in touch with his honey -- he avoided referring to Biel by name -- via webcam.

without Amy Winehouse's fucking up:
from the scotsman:
By JOSIE CLARKE AND SARAH BLOCH
AMY Winehouse was arrested yesterday in connection with an investigation into perverting the course of justice.
Blake Fielder-Civil, the singer's husband, is in custody accused of inflicting grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.A Scotland Yard spokeswoman last night confirmed said: "A 24-year-old woman has been arrested by appointment at an east London police station."

There have been no charges and she has been released."Fielder-Civil, 25, and Michael Brown are accused of assaulting James King, the landlord of Macbeths public house in Hoxton, London, on 20 June, 2006.It is alleged that they later conspired to pervert the course of justice by offering Mr King a significant amount of money to withdraw his allegation and leave the country.

Britney is thankful that her sister is a fuck up too
in case you didn't hear, from yahoo news:
Another Spears baby is reportedly on the way -- and it's not Britney's.
Jamie Lynn Spears, the 16-year-old "Zoey 101" star and sister of Britney, told OK! magazine that she's pregnant and that the father is her boyfriend, Casey Aldridge.
"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," she said. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."
Spears is 12 weeks along and initially kept the news to herself when she learned of the pregnancy from an at-home test and subsequent doctor visit, she told the celebrity magazine, which hits stands in New York on Wednesday and the rest of the country by Friday.
What message does she want to send to other teens about premarital sex? "I definitely don't think it's something you should do; it's better to wait," she told the magazine. "But I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in."
After she found out from a doctor that she was pregnant, she said, "I took two weeks to myself where I didn't tell anybody."
"Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me," she said.
Spears broke the news to her mother, Lynne, just before Thanksgiving, the magazine reported.
"She was very upset because it wasn't what she expected at all," Spears said. "A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive."
Lynne Spears, already grandmother to Britney's young sons, told the magazine: "I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious. She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."
She said her actress daughter, the telegenic heroine of her popular Nickelodeon series, has known Aldridge for years and began dating him in high school.

Troubled pop star Britney Spears is planning wedding number three despite rumours she could lose her children as a result, according to US reports.
The attention-grabbing singer is believed to be planning a shock Las Vegas wedding to close friend and confidant Sam Lufti.
The news comes as Britney continues an ongoing child custody dispute with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.
The disgraced mother-of-two has been warned that she could lose her two children altogether if she goes ahead with the wedding.
Britney and Kevin, 29, have been arguing for months over custody of their sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James.
Friends claim that the out-of-control star has already informed her lawyers and ex-husband of her nuptial plans.
Sadly for Britney, 26, not many people have rushed to congratulate her, with an insider telling Star magazine: "[The lawyers] begged her to at least get a prenup, but she didn't seem to be listening."

Ouch!
Mr. Madonna's Movie Takes In Just $75,000
It’s the same amount of money Madonna spends on, let’s say, mascara.
Guy Ritchie's latest movie — he’s her husband — has taken in $75,000 at the box office after 10 days or so in release.
"Revolver," which was a flop in the U.K. in 2005, grossing $6.5 million there, was re-edited for American release but couldn’t find a major distributor. It went out with IDP, a company that, nevertheless, is very adept at releasing good indie films such as "The Squid and the Whale" and "Raising Victor Vargas."
Alas, "Revolver" is a terrible film in its new state. It was roundly panned by every reviewer who had a chance to see it. Madonna and Ritchie attended the mostly ignored mini-premiere here in New York, but that didn’t help, either. "Revolver" died on the vine.

Dan Folgerberg dead
from yahoo news:
"He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife Jean at his side," said a posting on his Web site (http://www.danfogelberg.com).
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg, famed for the soaring vocals and elegant instrumentation of tunes such as "Longer" and "A Love Like This," died on Sunday, three years after being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. He was 56.
| |
"His strength, dignity and grace in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were an inspiration to all who knew him."
Fogelberg, a native of Peoria, Illinois, broke into the music industry in the early 1970s, at a time when it was embracing introspective songwriting, or "soft rock," by such acts as the Eagles and America.
Fogelberg, who distinguished himself with his angelic vocals and lyrics that celebrated beauty and romance, hit his commercial and creative peak in 1981 with "The Innocent Age," which yielded three top-10 singles, "Hard to Say," "Same Old Lang Syne" and "Leader of the Band."
His most recent release, "Full Circle," came out in 2003. The following year, he revealed that he had been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, and urged men over the age of 50 to get tested for the disease.

Jessica Simpson to go nude for credibility
Newlyweds star Jessica Simpson is so desperate to be taken seriously as an actress that she’s considering a role that requires stripping off.
A source close to the actress Jessica Simpson (don’t laugh!) has claimed she is to agree to full frontal nude scenes if it means she’ll be taken seriously in the industry. "Jessica’s in the running for a role that, if she gets it, will put her right on the map in terms of acting.” The insider claimed. “The only hitch is that the script requires a number of quite graphic scenes including a full-frontal nude scene. Jessica is so desperate to land the role and get the industry's respect that she's ready to go against her better judgement, and her family, by agreeing to bare all."
Way to go Jess, stripping off all your clothes always ensures people will take you seriously!

Sex kept Will Smith off drugs
Men In black star Will Smith has credited sex with keeping off drugs.
David Beckham’s main rival to being Tom Cruise’s best friend has explained what he’s used to manage to steer clear of drugs throughout his long career – sex. The 39 year old star confessed, “Through my teenage years I was too focused on sex to even think about any other vices.” Not sure that makes you any different to every other single teenage boy ever though Will.
But he also admitted he hasn’t changed a dot. “I’m much the same now. No drugs and only the occasional drink.”
***no doubt after getting banged in the ass all he wants to do is take a nap!***

Victoria Beckham says goodbye to her boobs
Reports are surfacing that Victoria Beckham has had her breast implants removed…
According to sources close to the star, Victoria was worried about her boobs falling out during her dance routines with the Spice Girls, and decided to have her ample implants removed to avoid any little accidents.
"There is speculation she had her implants taken out for the tour so she can fit into the costumes without the risk of them falling out during some of the more energetic routines," said the Spice Girls mole.
That's all very well, but what we want to know is will they be stuffed back in once the reunion is over, or have we really seen the last of Posh's concave cleavage?

Lainey BI reveal!
Lainey reveals her own BI.
PPS. It’s not Courteney Cox who's backstabbing Jennifer Aniston.
Secrets from the BFF
Old gossip now leaking, courtesy of her BFF – in whose chair she sat after her split, receiving therapy and getting pretty at the same time. That’s what friends are for.
Only lately her BFF is getting tired of her attitude problem – friendship is apparently on her terms and the BFF is treated alternately as servant and confidante. So since the BFF can be as catty as they come, secrets are starting seep, shedding light on several mysteries, including weight, children, and heartbreak, all pointing to one cause.
Male hormones???
According to the BFF, she took male hormones as a way to stay thin. As a result, she miscarried at least once, which is what resulted in the big break – she lost love because she was obsessed with being skinny…so says the BFF. The BFF also confirms that she has since stopped, which is why her body is back to lovely.
Still…her reputation, or her looks for that matter, won’t be lovely for long if BFF keeps yapping. In many ways, in one very critical way, she needs her buddy more than her buddy needs her.
oh yeah, in case you forgot about these two....
Suicide watch! Somebody lock down Jessica! No carbs or guns for a month! Fox News is reporting Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are gettin’ married this weekend in the Bahamas. Yeah heh heh. Back to Jessica slittin’ her wrists…(from gossip rocks)
*Rolls Eyes*
not that he's gay or anything.....from handbag gossip:
Jordan’s husband Peter Andre has admitted that he used to have a crush on Boy George.
What with spilling the beans on their sex life and comparing his manhood to Sky+ remotes you’d think Peter Andre was getting enough cringe worthy public embarrassment from his wife Jordan without having to add to it himself. Wrong! Peter admitted this week that he had a crush on Boy George, explaining how when he first saw the singer, who’s currently facing charges for wrongful imprisonment, he thought, “She is hot. I thought I was going to marry this woman.” Someone needs to explain to this couple that it’s okay, advised even, to think things through before blurting them out.

Juicy!
but it always is when it's from TedC:
Poor Pare-poo! Remember how we told you Adrian Grenier was dissing former flame Hilton to guests at a private house party Friday and that he left with another gal? Then came word from our Page Six sistahs that this wasn’t the blond babe’s first brush-off that night. Apparently, P’s ex-boyf Stavros Niarchos gave her the cold shoulder earlier the same night at Crimson.
P6 reported Stav wanted “nothing to do” with Paris and instead left the party to go hang with Lindsay Lohan. Getting blown off by your ex for one of your biggest frenemies? That’s gotta sting even more than whatever puffed up her overly plumped lips.

Now THIS is funny!!!
Britney tries to do blackmail....how cute!!! From digital spy:
Britney Spears has bribed Paris Hilton with a lesbian sex tape featuring the US socialite, say reports.
According to the Daily Star, Spears and her friends wrote Hilton a letter warning her to stop being rude about people, otherwise they would leak the video online.
A source said: "Britney and her pals wrote to Paris and told her they are hearing rumours of a new sex tape scandal - similar to the One Night In Paris footage her ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon put on the web four years ago.
"The letter also claims the tape shows footage of Paris locking lips with one of Britney’s female friends at a party.
"It warns Paris that if she continues being rude to people, the footage will be leaked online. Britney and her pals also end their note by telling Paris they look forward to hearing back from her."
Spears is allegedly using the sex tape to get back at Hilton for not wishing her happy birthday last weekend, when they walked past each other in Bel-Air.
However, Hilton is apparently not concerned by the threats, describing the letter as "crap".
A source commented: "It’s obvious Britney and her bratty pals are being silly. Paris laughed when she got the letter, supposedly from Britney and said it was ‘crap’."
Ewww!!!
What do you think they were doing? Wait, here...fill in the blank:
Paris likes 50 for his _____________

ummmmmmmm Blohan maybe?
This Hollywood female is more known for her drug abuse (cocaine and heroin) than her career. Behind closed doors, execs consider her a bad joke.
What few people know, although she's been linked with men, when she was super strung out, she was discreetly sleeping with a white actress who once appeared on a very popular TV series. These two were secret lovers for at least a year but the actress moved on to a richer sugar mama.
Her favorite form of recreation was snorting heroin enroute to a Lakers game. The fast paced action on the floor while being high on heroin was the ultimate high. It was even rumored that due to sinus issues from snorting heroin, she shot up a few times before her most recent rehab vist.
Although she puts on a drug-free front, away from the cameras, she continues to use while she stumbles her way through life.
Who is she?
ummmmmmmm Blohan maybe?

And in Lindsay Lohan news.....
Blohan blah blah yawn, out dating whoever, yawn....
off of celebslam:
Lindsay Lohan’s boyfriend Riley Giles didn’t exactly impress her family over Thanksgiving when the two went to Long Island. Giles spent most nights of the holiday weekend nights in New York City hitting up clubs–without Lindsay. The New York Post says:
While the fashion-savvy star spent Friday and Saturday shopping at Armani Exchange and Intermix with her mom and sister, her new boyfriend slept late on Saturday, having partied the night before at Pink Elephant. A Lohan friend said: “Riley was not very well behaved when he came back to New York with Lindsay. He was out every night without her, and I’m not sure how much longer that relationship is going to last.” (Source)
I completely understand where this guy is coming from. Why should HE have to settle for Lindsay Lohan? I’m sure there are plenty of other hot, young, Hollywood starlets out there that are just aching to hook up with an unemployed, overweight, ex-felon. I bet Riley thinks he’s not a one woman man, and he’s right–he’ll be back to zero in no time.
UPDATE (11/30): Stunning news out of Los Angeles today as E! is reporting that Lindsay and Riley have broken up. Oops, I meant not stunning. Steve Wonder saw that coming.
Soo....
off of TMZ.com:
Will Smith tells "60 Minutes" (airing tonight) that he isn't a talented actor -- he just works hard. The two-time Oscar loser says the only thing he's good at is toil. "While the other guy's sleeping, I'm working. While the other guy's eating, I'm working. While the other guy's making love, I mean, I'm making love, too, but I'm working really hard at it!" Jada Pinkett did not comment.
***Is it because Jada isn't there for the lovemaking??***

This is so funny....
I don't even have a lead in headline for it!!! from handbag gossip:
America’s Next Top Model creator Tyra Banks is scared to spend the night with men as damage done to her hair after years of modeling mean she has to wear a wig.
Despite the confident, self-assured attitude she’s known for on her chat show and ANTM Tyra Banks is reported to be so “insecure” about her hair that she refuses to spend the night with men because she doesn’t want to remove her wig. A source said, “Tyra is a confident woman for the most part, but she is really insecure about her hair. She doesn't want any guy to see her without her wigs or hair extensions. She feels like guys are with her for the image they see on TV. If one wakes up without her glamorous hair, she's worried he may not call back!” In other ANTM news it’s been announced that Twiggy won’t be back to judge cycle 10 (why don’t they just call season like everyone else?) due to scheduling conflicts. She’ll be replaced by Paulina Porizkova.

Christina Aguilera pregnancy not planned
Christina Aguilera has been explaining how finding out she was pregnant was a shock.
Doing the now obligatory naked and pregnant magazine cover shoot Christina Aguilera has told Marie Claire how she hadn't planned to get pregnant. "We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn't know how much time it would take," Christina explained before revealing the couple's pet names for each other. "You've heard it takes some time, except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here... I'm like, oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?" Ewww.
***So mama shoulda swallowed? ;)***

Spin's guess: Justin Timberlake!

Now this makes sense
And I can totally see it. Off of CDANs:
Several months ago, there were reports that the Hogans were divorcing. In fact, it was originally a blind item here and then a blind item revealed I believe. Even though there were rumblings about a divorce, it could have also been done to increase ratings for their floundering reality show.
Now, comes the news that Linda Hogan filed for divorce and that Hulk Hogan was just shocked.
Well, unless someone is cheating, a divorce rarely comes as a surprise. With Linda's retractions and Hulk's less than Academy Award winning reactions at the breakup announcement comes word that perhaps the Hogans are divorcing in order to avoid paying more money to John Graziano.
John Graziano as you will all remember is the former Marine and passenger in Nick Hogan's car when it crashed after allegedly racing another car and traveling at speeds of up to 106mph.
A divorce between the Hogans would divide the assets of the couple. This would include cars. As it stands currently, the car that Nick was driving was registered in both couple's names. If the couple divorced, and only Hulk Hogan kept his name on the registration, it would be much harder to go after Linda Hogan. There would probably have to be a separate suit filed against her and that suit would have to determine how much control she had over the car her son was driving. If, the car was transferred to Hulk's name, it could be argued that Hulk had complete control over its operation and use, and obviously since Linda didn't want it in the divorce she had nothing to do with it while they were married.
This strategy could potentially save half of the Hogan fortune and make it possible for Brooke Hogan to get the surgery she needs to try and look like a female. I don't think there is enough money in the world for that, but I'm sure they want to give it a shot.
Last week I discussed how John Graziano's parents were fighting over control of John's care. John's dad withdrew his objections last week, and John's mom was appointed guardian in charge of health decisions, while a neutral party was appointed to be in charge of John's finances and any civil suit.
