Amy Winehouse diagnosed with TB!

from ONTD:

As Amy Winehouse remains hospitalized, the embattled singer's condition may have taken a turn for the worse, as it's being reported that the 24-year-old has a case of tuberculosis.

According to London newspaper The Sun, sources from the London hospital say, doctors now believe Winehouse has tuberculosis and are performing more test to be certain.

The troubled crooner is suffering a chest infection and has been having severe coughing fits and hurling up blood. Despite her refusal to be examined, doctors are trying to control her irregular heartbeat.

As SOHH previously reported, after being rushed to the hospital earlier this week following a fainting spell, which could have been caused by a massive overdose she suffered last year, Winehouse received a dire warning from her doctor to quit using drugs or eventually her addiction will cost the British soul singer her life.

Winehouse's battle with drugs and alcohol coupled with her massive weight loss, have doctors concerned as well.

Courtney Love, WTF?

Is she back on the hoss? shootin the smack? I mean really, how else would she be so damm skinny AND pale like death? She honestly looks like she's ready to step right into her grave.

from Mail Online:

Halloween may be months off, but Courtney Love did a good job of frightening onlookers with her ghoulish appearance in LA yesterday. (6/19)

The singer's deathly pale skin drew gasps as she stepped out for a shopping trip in Malibu in a 1920s see-through lace dress, as did her painfully frame.

Her once Rubenesque figure has been reduced to just skin and bone, sparking concerns over her health.

Love's weight has long been the focus of attention - she lost 52 pounds last year on a strict diet of shakes combined with minimal fish and vegetables.

She denied reports gastric bypass surgery and liposuction aided her initial transformation.
Now it appears emotional strain is to blame - Courtney recently revealed she was feeling suicidal after the ashes of her husband, Nirvana's Kurt Cobain disappeared from her home.

Is 'Fencing' gay code for buttseks?

from digital spy:

Rex Features

Will Smith has revealed that he and David Beckham have taken up a new hobby with Tom Cruise.

Speaking at the premiere of his new film Hancock, Smith explained that he had started fencing with the pair.

He told The Mirror: "Tom has a room for training. We don't get enough time to hang out, just us three guys, so this is his way of getting together and bonding. David and I go to his home and just do fencing. It's a lot of fun.

"We wanted an activity that was strenuous, but we're getting older - we have to think about slowing down."

Smith joked: "We've got to watch our joints. Especially my knee."

So....

Jamie Lynn Spears spawned another Spears girl. *yawn* Teen pregnancies are so boring. Somebody should slap her for the name choice, Madison Brianna would have been better.

from Ass-kissing, kneepad wearing People:

There is a new baby in the Spears clan! Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiancé Casey Aldridge welcomed a baby girl Thursday morning.

PEOPLE confirms exclusively that the baby was named Maddie Briann

"Just the family was there," says a source about the birth around 9:30 a.m. at a hospital in Mississippi, near her Louisiana hometown. "Everyone is healthy and happy."

Jamie Lynn's sister Britney, father Jamie and brother Bryan flew in Wednesday to be with her for the birth; her mother Lynne had been with her helping her get ready for the baby.

Since announcing her pregnancy in December, Britney’s little sister has retreated from the bright lights of Hollywood, opting for the comforts of her hometown of Kentwood, La.

and in other boring Spears news, from handbag gossip:

A shocking new book claims Britney Spears has tried to kill herself twice in the last 18 months.

Britney Spears attempted suicide twice in the last 18 months, a shocking new book claims. Award winning journalist Ian Halperin spent the last year and a half undercover posing as a paparazzo to "get close to Spears and her inner circle of managers and friends". Halperin told Life And Style Weekly of the singer's two apparent suicide bids and claims her problems are fuelled by drugs and the company she keeps. "I saw a lot. I partied with her and was able to really monitor what type of stuff she was using. It's very concerning," he explains. "But the book is mainly about her handlers, how sleazy and destructive they are towards her. The people around her are like vultures. She's on major medications. And she's being micro-managed and controlled to the extreme by her parents, the courts and a huge team of doctors and handlers. I think she's in danger of a catastrophic relapse." It's not all bad though, the journalist, who's written books on Kurt Cobain and Celine Dion, did say, "She's basically a good person. She's actually a very caring mom."

*why are all books promoted as being "shocking".....none of this really surprises me*

and from digital spy:

Britney Spears's mum has revealed that her popstar daughter wants to leave California and "return to Louisiana".

Since rising to fame a decade ago, Spears has spent most of her time away from her Kentwood, Louisiana hometown.

According to Us Magazine, a declaration from Lynne Spears to the LA Superior Court said: "Britney has spent a majority of her time over the last five years in the state of California due in part to work but primarily with respect to a custody dispute currently ongoing."

Spears's ex husband Kevin Federline currently has primary custody of their two sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston.

Tom Cruise out of MI:4!!!

from ONTD:


It appears that Tom Cruise isn't putting all his eggs into the Valkyrie basket. Valkyrie, you'll recall, is the Bryan Singer-directed thriller in which Cruise plays a German officer who tried to assassinate Hitler. That project has hit some bumps on its way to theaters. Meanwhile, Cruise is also making an attempt to go back to his roots. But making that happen isn't simple: It seems that the Cruise camp recently reached out to Paramount about making Mission: Impossible 4 and got seriously disavowed.

Paramount's response was to ask whether Cruise would like to produce the film—as in, produce but not star in. And, since he's contractually guaranteed the right to produce such a film at this point, it wasn't much of an offer. This tells us not to read too much into that supposed rapprochement between Cruise and Sumner Redstone. And it suggests that the fighting between Cruise and Paramount studio chief Brad Grey over the deal for M:I3 was a lot more rancorous than we knew at the time.

We don't want to keep you in suspense: Cruise's answer was no. Our source tells us that Paramount met this with a shrug, since in the not-too-distant future the studio expects that it will be free, contractually, to make the movie without involving Cruise's production company. Some film executives say they think Paramount is being foolish, because they believe there is an avid audience for Cruise in this role. After all, the last one grossed about $400 million worldwide. (Maybe M:I4 could pair Cruise with Shia LaBoeuf as the young successor.) But Paramount seems to think it could relaunch the franchise with a young star and leave Cruise out of the equation.

*Tiny tom: PWND!*

Update!

Ok, so I know this is posting about my period and WTF, right? Who posts about her period? Well, it's been three weeks since my surgery and this is my first post-op period. The best part is, I have NO pain! None at all! I am a little bloated, tired and slightly cranky, but there is NO PAIN and I am so happy!!!! Yes, Virginia, I'm having a happy period! I'm not so heavy on my flow and I've had a terrible sugar craving yesterday which may have been from being very tired, but I have no pain! That makes it all worth while!!!

And Captain America to be played by.....

Leo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt??!! Actually, I can't think who I would want to play Capt. America....or Thor for that matter! from the Tipster:

If you're gonna dream, dream big, as Marvel Studios is reportedly doing with its wish list for its upcoming Captain America. According to Latino Review, the two names topping the studio's most wanted list as potential Cap'ns: Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. DiCaprio, who earlier this week signed on to play Atari founder Nolan Bushnell in a biopic, seems unlikely to step up for the project, especially since he reportedly turned down the offer to play Spider-Man when that franchise launched, with DiCaprio pal Tobey Maguire, in 2002. Pitt, meanwhile, has been rumored for months to be the top choice for an adaptation of the Thor comics, but he's also, according to Latino Review, the number-two pick for Captain America. Both stars already have fully packed schedules, with DiCaprio also committed to Martin Scorsese's Teddy Roosevelt biopic, the thriller The Chancellor Manuscript and historical drama Freedom Within the Heart, while Pitt is attached to the Terrence Malick-directed sci-fi adventure Tree of Life, the boxing drama The Fighter and the Watergate drama Dirty Tricks.

*Here's an update on more Marvel movies to be released:

Iron Man 2 in 2010
Thor in 2011
The Avengers in 2011
Captain America in 2011

and this I just found out....X-Men origins: Wolverine to be released May 2009

SO STOKED!!!*

Get the Lube ready!

You're about to take it hard in the ass for internet access, it seems! From gawker.com:

Well, the Internet was fun while it lasted, but now three of the nation's largest service providers are going to shut it down and throw us all back to the dark ages of telephones and postage stamps. "Some people use the Internet simply to check e-mail and look up phone numbers. Others are online all day, downloading big video and music files. For years, both kinds of Web surfers have paid the same price for access. But now three of the country’s largest Internet service providers are threatening to clamp down on their most active subscribers by placing monthly limits on their online activity."

"One of them, Time Warner Cable, began a trial of 'Internet metering' in one Texas city early this month, asking customers to select a monthly plan and pay surcharges when they exceed their bandwidth limit. The idea is that people who use the network more heavily should pay more, the way they do for water, electricity, or, in many cases, cellphone minutes.

"That same week, Comcast said that it would expand on a strategy it uses to manage Internet traffic: slowing down the connections of the heaviest users, so-called bandwidth hogs, at peak times.

"AT&T also said Thursday that limits on heavy use were inevitable and that it was considering pricing based on data volume. 'Based on current trends, total bandwidth in the AT&T network will increase by four times over the next three years,' the company said in a statement.

"All three companies say that placing caps on broadband use will ensure fair access for all users. Internet metering is a throwback to the days of dial-up service, but at a time when video and interactive games are becoming popular, the experiments could have huge implications for the future of the Web [...]

“'As soon as you put serious uncertainty as to cost on the table, people’s feeling of freedom to predict cost dries up and so does innovation and trying new applications,' Vint Cerf, the chief Internet evangelist for Google who is often called the 'father of the Internet,' said in an e-mail message.

"But the companies imposing the caps say that their actions are only fair. People who use more network capacity should pay more, Time Warner argues. And Comcast says that people who use too much—like those who engage in file-sharing—should be forced to slow down."

The Incredible Hulk

I just saw this movie today, just got back and here is Spin's Official review (WARNING, spoilers):

Save your money and rent the DVD. I was very disappointed. Like other reviews have pointed out, the CGI for the Hulk itself and the abomination were just too cartoony, more realism would have been better.

All of the cast gave a great performance, except Ed Norton. His delivery was just plain flat and he never convinced me that he was, in fact, Bruce Banner. Everyone else was quite good. With Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, she played a great love interest, although there were times when Betty had quiet moment with Bruce or the Hulk, where I thought she was going to start speaking Elvish. Tim Roth, I love him so. I was so glad to see him in an action film. He never disappoints me.

The story was not outstanding and even the fight scenes were boring. It was very predictable and lackluster. Many parts just seem too dragged out. I could not connect with any of the characters in the story.

Things that bothered me about the plot: 1) If everyone who fired at Bruce while he was the Hulk figured out that their bullets and bombs didn't work on him, why did they keep firing? Why not wait until he's no longer the Hulk and kill him then? 2) Why is it that when Betty and Bruce were trying to figure out how to get away without being tracked, they talked about how they couldn't use the credit cards. Um, yes you could, but only once....you'd have to hit an ATM and take out all the money. Then it's cash only after that, duh. 3) What the hell happened to the abomination after the ending fight? That was left waaaay too open.

It's not worth paying the extra money just to see it on the big screen I recommend waiting to watch it on DVD. Or on the net for free, if you know how. It's boring, not nearly entertaining as I would like. It certainly didn't leave me with the feeling of "WOW" as I watched it. I couldn't wait for it to end. It was a nice breath of air at the end though, where the general is at the bar drinking and Tony Stark makes his appearance. Yes, everything is being set up to get S.H.I.E.L.D. put together. And, unlike Iron Man, there is no clip at the very very end, after all the credits, so don't bother staying. Your treat is Tony Stark coming into the bar to talk to the general.

The Incredible Hulk isn't so incredible and gets a frowny face. :(

One extra note from the LA times:

The character: Mild-mannered scientist Bruce Banner, who turns into the eponymous muscle-bound, green-hued monster in Marvel's new $150-million adaptation of its beloved comic book character.

Stickler for details: During the last four months, Norton and director Louis Leterrier lobbied for a longer, nuanced film with more in-depth exposition while the studio has stood firm, insisting on traditional slam-bang, action-movie pacing and ultimately refusing Norton the power of final cut.

Back story: The actor-writer hasn't done much to promote "Hulk" outside of issuing a terse 257-word statement to Entertainment Weekly. It recasts the so-called "dispute" between Marvel/Universal and himself and Leterrier as a media misrepresentation that's really a "collaboration" in which the principal parties have simply agreed to disagree. Thanks for clarifying, Ed.

Tim Russert, We hardly knew ye

Goodbye to a truly great journalist and a man who loved his work. His shoes will be hard to fill.

from msnbc.com, some of his last thoughts just a couple of hours before he died:

Russert on Politics
NBC News
updated 11:50 a.m. CT, Fri., June. 13, 2008

Tim Russert is NBC News’ Washington bureau chief and host of Meet the Press. He regularly offers MSNBC.com’s readers his insight and analysis into questions about politics past, present and future.


Tim Russert
Washington bureau chief
Msnbc: Tim, www.fightthesmears.com is a web site launched by the Barack Obama campaign to combat potentially damaging rumor about the candidate and his wife, Michelle. Is this necessary? How big of a problem is this really?

Tim Russert: It’s amazing how much the Internet has changed our lives. People get emails that make accusations without foundation and they are circulated around the country within seconds and suddenly become topics of conversations around water coolers or in lunchrooms.

I remember being in Indianapolis covering the Indiana primary and a man came up to me and said he wasn’t going to vote for Senator Obama because he was very concerned about the comments made by Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor. I said, “That’s interesting. As a reporter, I’m curious what comments particularly bothered you?” He said, “Well, I can’t think of any that come to mind, but I also read on the Internet that he’s a Muslim.” And I said, “Now wait a minute. You can’t have both. You can’t be offended by his Christian minister and then say he’s a Muslim. You’ve got to pick one.”

But that just underscores what we’re dealing with in this modern era.

Now I’m told there’s a counter organization with a very similar name that is going to be positioned and posted to spread the rumors, so that people that go to the Internet to get clarification will go to the wrong web site and get confused.

It’s a virus. You have bloggers on both sides, liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats all trying to utilize this vehicle without any kind of fact checking and without any kind of editorial control.

Msnbc: Given the way people use the Internet, do you wonder if there are going to be some things said or done during the course of this campaign that will be very unsettling?

Russert: That’s what we have to be conscious of and vigilant against, particularly at the end of the campaign as things are put out there. We’ve already had a few fake videos with different words dubbed in and people say, “This must be true because I saw it on the Internet.”

What we hope to do in this campaign is recognize there are big differences on big issues between John McCain and Barack Obama – the war in Iraq, Iran, Social Security, taxes. You don’t need to get into this other stuff. If it does surface, then I think the mainstream media has an obligation not to just instinctively put it out there without vetting it. Or, if it is something that is manufactured as a virus, report on that – who did it and why. But sometimes it’s very hard to trace it back to its original source.

Msnbc: Who do you have coming up on Meet the Press?

Russert: We’re going to talk big issues with a debate: Obama vs. McCain. Joe Biden will represent Barack Obama; Lindsey Graham will represent John McCain.

Msnbc: Do you think Lindsey Graham might be on the ticket with John McCain?

Russert: I think he’s on the list. South Carolina is a solid state, but McCain really likes his passion and his ability to be on the attack against the Democrats on these foreign policy issues. I think Biden is someone who’s very much on Obama’s list because of his wealth of foreign policy experience, his knowledge of the Iran and the Iraq. It’ll be interesting. They’re both coming into the studio. It could be an vice presidential audition. A Meet the Press audition, coming your way Sunday, on Meet the Press!

In honor of a verdict being reached in the R. Kelly case:

And this is also why I love Riley ("That's a bitch move, Santa"):




and of course:



and after one day of deliberations, R. Kelly is ACQUITTED....which means not guilty. The jury was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt, the girl didn't testify and kept saying it wasn't her on the tape. Was she too scare to say anything? Plus R. Kelly exercised his right to stay quiet. That's probably why he was let go. The prosecution just could'nt prove it. Wow.



"If R. Kelly go to jail, I'll piss on yo cat!"

Wow, I had no idea that Sam Ronson had a twin sister!

Here's Sam with her twin Charlotte:

Billy Bob Thorton weighs in on Brangelina

I've been waiting for him to speak up! from digital spy:

Billy Bob Thornton has said that Brad Pitt is part of a "high school phase" for Angelina Jolie.

Thornton hit out at his former wife, claiming that she would probably want to get back together with him in the future.

Speaking at a press launch for his new album with The Boxmasters, he said: "She's just going through a high school phase.

"You know dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She'll be waking up from that dream in no time.

"Who knows if I'll be there when she's ready to come to her senses though."

Thornton married Jolie in 2000 after meeting her on the film set for Pushing Tin. They divorced three years later.

*Brad and Angie do seem like the golden quarterback and the hot goth chick in high school*

Paris Hilton's night club "Club Paris" is now CLOSED
*like you even noticed*

from ONTD:

Paris Hilton's night club "Club Paris" in Orlando, FL ended its barely-three-year-run last summer (see, nobody noticed anyways did they?); making way for DOLCE to take its place.

*Paris herself probably didn't even go there*

oh and in related news: Paris has been closed for ages... in fact, Dolce already took over and closed just as quickly.

Well, duh!

All teens seem to think that a real relationship and even marriage is all lollipops and puppy dogs....They can't understand that it's work, a lot of commitment involved from both sides and a lot of learning to understand and compromise. So of course, Jamie Lynn and her man are fighting. Of course, he wants to get away. Of course, it is eventually doomed to fail unless there is a miraculous realization and growing up an both their parts. When one is so young, maturity hasn't had a chance to blossom yet:

By Ree Hines

MSNBC contributor

updated 9:34 p.m. CT, Wed., June. 11, 2008

It looks like the pre-baby wedding bells won’t ring for Jamie Lynn Spears and boyfriend Casey Aldridge. According to Star, the teenage parents-to-be are having such a hard time getting along, they may never wed.

“Jamie Lynn and Casey have been fighting non-stop about everything, from what to name the baby to what to eat for dinner,” a source told the magazine. “And now she's called off their wedding plans.”

Though the couple allegedly bought a house earlier this month, another Star source calls the “Zoey 101” star’s relationship with Casey “in and out,” and claims Jamie Lynn’s packed up and moved back into the Spears’ family home.

$citards hate Dr. Drew!

Don't mess with my Dr. Drew, I luurrvs him! Don't be scuured tiny tom! Dr Drew is there to help!

from ontd:

Drew Pinsky is downright respectable, at least by TV doctor standards. Unlike "Dr. Phil," he has an actual medical degree, practices medicine and even teaches psychiatry. His reality show, Celebrity Rehab, is both more gripping and responsible than other celebrity "reality" vehicles. But Tom Cruise has allowed his lawyer to compare "Dr. Drew" to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, because the doctor told Playboy the following about movie star Cruise's fevered devotion to the Church of Scientology:

A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt. Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that's a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect.

Cruise's high-powered attorney, Bert Fields, a frequent client of convicted wiretapper and racketeer Anthony Pellicano, called Pinsky an "unqualified television performer who is obviously just looking for notoriety," adding, "The last time we heard garbage like this was from Joseph Goebbels."

Cruise has already spoken on record about his abusive father. Strange, then, that he would snap so viciously over speculation he was neglected.

Perhaps the megastar interprets Pinsky's statements as a slam against his mother, the presumptive neglector. More likely, it was the line about Scientology's "cultish" environment that sent Cruise, a church bigwig, into attack mode.

But a slam this over the top only makes Cruise look more crazy while drawing attention to his own deep involvement with the sect.

weird dream!

My brain took a huge, massive crap last night (since that's what dreams have to be, your brain taking a dump). Because hollywood is desperate for storylines, just to protect both of us (I know hollywood doesn't read this site but just in case), if this ends up in a screenplay or movie, I will sue!! ^_^

So the dream was this:

I got a job looking after this enormous, beautiful tudor style mansion at night. It seemed like a sorority house, with a lot of young female residents. It was grey stone, the estate was huge, green and lush, it had one of those large circular driveways. The entryway doors were enormous and of heavy wood. There was stained glass to greet you.

The pay was pretty good and just looking after a house at night seemed easy work, so I took it.

Of course, things can't be as they seem after dark and the weirdness in my dream starts when night falls and all the residents have gone to bed. There were three bizarre mutant creatures that would come out and they were not friendly. I had to fight them or try to get away and hide because they could be killed. Not they there was a rule to not kill them, more like, they don't die. They just come back and try to kill you again.

So after a few crazy nights of fighting these things and being totally exhausted, I have to ask somebody what the deal is. I get invited to some sort of initiation ceremony. There's a huge marble circular setup behind the house, with a podium and carved marble thrones that make up the circle. The girls sit in these.

I get told to walk around the circle on the outside and when I finally reach the top of the circle where the podium is, with the lead girl's seat, I am told to slit her throat by this man in a black suit who is supposed to conduct this ceremony. I say "what?" because I'm not going to do that.

He tells me that the girls choose to be there, they are not forced. It is an honor for this girl to be killed as a sacrifice for the mutant things. The other girls get raped by the things, this is how they reproduce. Just to be sure, I ask if the girls really are by there because they want to be and after he says yes, I decide that I'm leaving, it's all just too weird. It's not a sorority but some kind of cult. I walk through the house, disguising my intentions to leave, like maybe I'm just trying to get to the bathroom.

It starts raining outside and i call my husband to come get me, please hurry. I try not to have a mental breakdown, I have to keep it together to get out. I finally reach the entryway and get outside to meet him. There are a few girls out there smoking and laughing. When they finish smoking, they go back in. I'm not going to try to save anybody, I figure fuck it, they can choose to leave. finally my husband pulls up and I jump into the car telling him to drive away fast but don't draw attention. Of course, he wants to ask what is going on, so I tell him, all while going through my purse and my clothes to make sure I don't have anything on me to track me.

Then I wake up.

My brain took a huge dump last night.

Girl has Skilz!

Did Mark Ronson out his sister?

you be the judge! Is RoHan finally outed? From JJ's Dirt:

Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan have not been hiding their love and affection for one another as of late in the public eye, but they have also never confirmed to the world they are a couple either.

So, leave it up to their friends and family to do that job. Samantha's studly and uber talented brother Mark Ronson had this to say to the media about the two, "My sister and Lindsay make a cute couple, don’t they?"

No, Brit Brit, NO!!

Stay away from the crazy! Stay AWAAAYYY!!!

From IDLYITW:


Already having spent time together in Costa Rica, Britney Spears and Mel Gibson met again last night at the Grand Havana Room, an exclusive Beverly Hills cigar bar. People reports:

For more than two-and-a-half hours, the singer, 26, and the actor-filmmaker, 52, met in what was confirmed to PEOPLE as a more of an ongoing guidance session than a business pow-wow."

Two-and-a-half hours? Really? Britney can't pay attention for five minutes. I have a feeling this is gonna take a lot of work if he plans on teaching her how to hate the Jews.

OMG, David Spade is gonna be a daddy!

WTF is up with hollyweird? Did something get slipped into the water supply? All these celebs are popping out babies, getting pregnant, getting somebody pregnant....what the hell?? It seems David Spade spilled some seed during a one night stand but at least he's willing to own up to it.

Is it just me or does this chick resemble David? Will the baby then just be a little david clone? Did David imagine doing himself when he was with her? Ew, I'm making myself want to puke now. David's baby is going ot be a girl, does that make it more creepy?

From CDAN:

First of all I have a tough time swallowing that David Spade actually has sex with women. More correctly I should say I have a tough time saying that women are allowing David Spade to have sex with them, and apparently unprotected sex at that. Former Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace confirmed she is having David Spade's baby. David who basically had a one night stand with Jillian has been reluctant to confirm he is the father and I can see why.

Anyone who has sex with David Spade will obviously have sex with just about anyone and therefore if I were Spade I would be cautious. That, combined with the fact that he probably didn't even know what to do when he was given the opportunity to have sex makes this that much more surprising.

According to In Touch, the pair don't even speak to each other but are trying to come to some type of child support agreement before the baby is born in late summer. In case you were curious or just love traffic accidents, Spade is 43 and Jillian is 22. Jillian is expecting a daughter.

Johnny Depp is 45!

Ponder that for a moment...Johnny Depp is 45! He sure looks awesome, no matter the age. From PopSugar:

Johnny Depp had his 45th birthday yesterday, but he didn't take a day off to celebrate. Instead, he was back on the set of Public Enemies in Chicago with a gun under his arm and a glare on his face. We're enjoying all the glimpses of cleaned-up Johnny while they last, since he might get back to looking creepy playing a vampire in his rumored next movie with Tim Burton, an adaptation of Dark Shadows.

She wants her hands deep in Tony's pockets, huh?

from CDAN:



So last night I heard the news I was dreading almost as much as Paris Hilton being knocked up. The level of pain in this one goes more personal though. I can feel the horror unleashing in my body. Also, due to the 99% Paris ban on this site, I could have probably got through 9 months relatively pain free of a Paris pregnancy and I would have been busy waiting for the seven signs of the apocalypse to be fulfilled so that would have been interesting.

The phone call last night was a bunch of me asking, "are you sure?" Wondering aloud if it might be some child she ate as a sacrifice, or the indigestible food from her restaurant creating some kind of Besos Beer Belly. Then I asked if it was Tony's. Apparently it is, and the question was not found amusing. At least she could have got knocked up by Mario Lopez and made this thing more interesting.

Site wise I can get through the Eva Longoria pregnancy because, well it is not like she is on the site everyday. Personally it will be much tougher as the person who told me was so excited that I know it will be 9 months of hearing her friends screaming and happy and just being, well friends. The fact that we share a set of friends will just further add fuel to my misery. I may take up drinking absinthe. Maybe then I could just zone out until sometime during the baby shower, or its graduation from high school.

This is the only time you will hear me say the words, so, enjoy them. Congratulations Eva. Damn, that was harder than passing a kidney stone.

I just came twice

Washington (ANI): Robert Downey Jr has reportedly been roped in to play Playboy boss Hugh Hefner in a big-screen biopic. After impressing the legendary porn mogul with his 'Iron Man' act, the star's name has been suggested for playing Hefner in the film, aptly titled 'Playboy'. The philandering Playboy boss liked the former hellraiser's portrayal of wealthy playboy Tony Stark in 'Iron Man', so much so that he just wants Downey Jr to play himself on celluloid.

Reports from Illinois newspaper the Chicago Sun-Times, have suggested that Hefner wants the Golden Globe-winner to start shooting the movie in summer 2009. In fact, the 43-year-old star is also keen to, if in case the script fits the bill, reports Contactmusic. Apollo 13 filmmaker Brian Grazer has reportedly been roped in as the film's producer.

O Rly?

I don't doubt that the split is coming.....but this seems odd:

Oh, the drama! Whilst a gossip blog of questionable repute allegedly has airtight evidence that maverick filmmaker Madonna has hired Paul MacCartney’s divorce attorney to sever her ties to Guy Ritchie, at the same time rumors are spreading that the soon-to-be 50 pop star is reteaming with director Alex Keshishian to make a follow-up to his 1991 tour doc Truth or Dare (known overseas as In Bed With Madonna).

*"She lives to be on camera" LOL, Truth or Dare*

EZ Blind item!

you know this one from Lainey yesterday:

Post Partum Flirtation

Had a baby not too long ago, supposedly a happy family. But there’s been a little blip. And it’s not just the late nights. Seems she’s been a little bored with domesticity and has had a naughty flirtation. Saucy text messages and heated exchanges, some suggestive touching and closed door petting were spicing up her life but the subject of her giddy infatuation was not the father of her child. They didn’t seal the deal but it came very, very close.

Even worse, he was a friend and a business associate of her significant other who found out about the illicit activity and shut it down quickly, sending angry missives back to the betrayer to “stay the f&ck away” from her. As a result, the dude is out of a job. And, finding himself unemployed, he has saved the email evidence and is threatening to go public, sell them off to one of the rags. Word is they are in the process of paying him off.

She meanwhile is repentant and has redevoted herself to her relationship after groveling successfully for forgiveness.

Crisis temporarily averted…but for how long?

From ONTD....

"Maybe there's a reason behind Christina Aguilera's constant partying lately. Apparently there's trouble in paradise between her and husband Jordan Bratman. These two are such an odd coupling but they seem to work so this surprises us.

Word is Xtina has been shamelessly flirting with another man who was a former associate of her husband. Jordan has retaliated by firing the dude and telling him to stay the f**k away from her. But the smarty pants that this guy is, he saved the email and is threatening to sell it to a tabloid. Scandalous!"

*Is this one of those things where after a woman has a baby she feels (not that it's necessarily true but she feels this way) like she's no longer attractive and questions her babeness to the point that she oversteps her bounds? She'll flirt with anyone who gives a half a glance, just to try to find her groove again? Just curious*

Tori Spelling pops a girl!

Wasn't she pregs for forever? anyhow, since they all seem to be popping at once this week:

It’s a girl for Tori Spelling!

The former 90210 star gave birth to a daughter on Monday, June 9.
Stella Doreen McDermott arrived at 3:13 p.m. PT and weighed 6 lbs 8 oz.

Tori's rep tells OK!, "She's here! She's a healthy baby girl. Tori and baby are resting comfortably."

Stella, whose middle name Doreen is after Dean's late mother, is the second child for Tori and her husband, Dean McDermott. The pair, whose Oxygen reality show Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood launches its third season on June 17, are already parents to Liam, 1.

Although having two children under the age of 2 will be a challenge, Tori and Dean do believe parenthood will be easier the second time around.

"You're a little more laid-back with your second child," he told OK! last month. "You're not as anxious. You're not as frightened. They trip and fall, and you're a little more laid-back about it and realize they don't break."

As for his wife, the 35-year-old actress was definitely looking forward to seeing their little girl.

"[The pregnancy's] been amazing, but I'm ready to see her," she said.



OK! Magazine - First for Celebrity News - OK! Exclusive

Jessica Alba Popped a Girl!

How I wish I had her $$$...not her body, I want her $$$. And supposedly they are naming the girl "Honor"....WTF...From OK!

Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren have welcomed a baby girl.

She was born this weekend at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Alba's father was overheard saying "she's beautiful." Warren -- in a T-shirt, jeans and baseball cap -- was spotted carrying food into the maternity ward Sunday.

Her rep had no comment.

Alba, 26, and Warren, 28, announced they were expecting last December. (See more surprise pregnancies here.)

During her pregnancy, Alba admitted, "anything could make me incredibly angry or break down crying. That’s not something I’m used to.”

Her one fear about mommyhood: Breastfeeding.

She told Extra she had a dream, and "it had to do with breastfeeding, which is the only thing I’m paranoid about. More than giving birth.”

She and Warren got engaged after announcing their baby news.

They quietly wed in the Beverly Hills courthouse's ceremony room on May 19.

They just moved into a $4 million Beverly Hills home with their three dogs.

"It's a lot of stress to buy a house, have a baby and get married in six months," she recently told USA Weekend. "It's a lot of life-changing decisions. I'm really, really secure and happy in my relationship."

Did the bitch think it was going to be easy?

Did no one explain to Asslee about the changes a woman's body goes through with pregnancy? LOL@ her Spongebob comment! From ONTD:



A pregnant Ashlee Simpson isn’t beaming with pride over her changing baby body. Ashlee recently confessed her fears about her expanding waistline and changing figure in a tearful phone call to her mom Tina, Life & Style spies say.

“Ashlee called me in tears the other day,” Tina reportedly told Ashlee’s big sister Jessica while mom and daughter were on a Memorial Day trip to Nashville last weekend. “She said, ‘Oh my gosh, Mom, did you see those pictures of me on the beach? My stomach looks like a rectangle. I look like Spongebob SquarePants!’”

According to the tab, Tina tried reassuring her youngest daughter that she is still very beautiful, but to no avail:

“I told Ashlee, ‘Aww, honey, no, you’re beautiful-you’re pregnant ...’ She said, ‘but I look so fat!’”

*Cue the 'she should kept her legs together/then just get an abortion/she only did it for attention' comments in 3, 2, 1...*

Well yeah, he's trying to escape!!

And good for him....that will make him grow up pretty quickly and maybe he'll see how stupid Jamie Lynn is & ditch her dumb ass.



Apparently Jamie Lynn Spears’ fiancé Casey Aldridge doesn’t want her to be the only one who brings home the bacon. Aldridge plans to contribute some pork of his own earning, by joining the National Guard. Right now the 19-year-old works as a day laborer. Probably not the kind of guy Jamie Lynn’s parents had in mind for her. But it appears Aldridge isn’t content to live off of Jamie Lynn, despite all the speculation to the contrary. So he’s decided to join up, even though one third of Mississippi’s National Guard gets deployed to Iraq.

Casey Aldridge wants to be all that he can be - by joining the Army National Guard after Jamie Lynn Spears delivers their baby, sources say. The strapping 19-year-old day laborer has met with an Army recruiter several times, but he’s terrified to tell his 17-year-old fiancée, insiders tell the Enquirer.
“Casey wants to enlist in the National Guard after the baby is born. But he’s kept his plans secret from Jamie Lynn - and there’s no doubt she’s going to blow sky-high when she finds out,” a close source said.
“Joining the military has been a dream of Casey’s since long before Jamie Lynn came into the picture.” With “Zoey 101″ star Jamie Lynn’s acting career up in the air, Casey thinks the National Guard is a good career choice, according to insiders.
“Joining the National Guard appeals to Casey’s sense of adventure and patriotism,” said the close source.

[From the National Enquirer, June 16, 2008 print ed.]
A couple of thoughts here. First, if you’re terrified of telling your fiancée, you’re probably not ready to get married. And if you’re terrified of a 17-year-old girl, you’re probably not going to make the greatest soldier. Lastly, if you’re terrified to tell aforementioned 17-year-old pregnant fiancée because she’s “going to blow sky-high,” waiting until she finds out from the National Enquirer is a great way to get yourself locked out of the house and all your clothes set on fire. At least that’s the route I’d be going.

Jaime Lynn has managed to stay away from the cameras lately – header photo is an older picture of Jamie Lynn and Casey pre-pregnancy.

Show some love for celebrity watching! Imagine, if you will, since it is summertime, all the fun you can have with a telescope! No, really! If you camp at all, and I love to, there is a lot of wonder to see at night watching the heavens! You can see comets or more details on the moon you wouldn't normally see! It could make for a really creative date as well!

Check out Opticsplanet.com for their great selection, reasonable prices and specials! Don't forget to see about a set of Binoculars for when you go to the baseball game, it makes the action more interesting! And you could get binoculars for the whole family.

They can also help you to pick out equipment that fits your needs, whether watching celebs from afar, hunting scopes or even GPS to help you find your way around!

Or how about birthday presents or anniversary gifts? I always have a hard time trying to find a decent gift, let alone a good one, but Binoculars might be the perfect choice! Don't forget that Father's Day is very close, this would make Dad much happier than getting him just another tie!

Walk of No Shame!

I love this commercial!!! Ah, college....good times, good times! If only it could last forever!

Paris Hilton pregnant?

PLEASE SAY NO!!! I was hoping with all the diseases she's accumulated that she'd be sterile by now. Then this pic pops up:



Is it a huge fart forming or true evil brewing?

However, as Lainey points out: Ebola’s rep has denied that it’s expecting although it has certainly been a happy day so far for the virus since she made headlines for the first time in a month, welcome sustenance just in time to feed a voracious appetite for attention.

Having said that… it’s only a matter of time. Word is she’s doing everything she can to make it happen. Because of course she wants to pitch a reality show chronicling her pregnancy, aware now that she’s tapped out all other famewhore avenues previously available to her.

But then there's this pic, so it may have just been the angle:


I'm not sure.....but I almost want to put a bullet in my brain if Pari$ite is pregs, we don't stand a chance!

Brad Pitt in Houston?

In my neck of the woods? I know he's been shooting a movie in Austin....I have sent out the word, if he is, I'll get pics for you!

from Lainey:

There were reports earlier this week that he’d been sighted in Houston. Several LaineyGossip.com readers have written to say that he was still in Houston as of yesterday, with Sean Penn, friendly with fans, and at one point joking around on a smoke break.

So if he’s confident enough to travel, it would mean Angelina’s due date is far enough away… right? But far enough away to make it 8/8/8?

RoHo or SamHan?

Which names sounds better for the couple that is Sam & Blohan?


somehow I imagine the two of them having sex is something like this:

Yeah, but what is up with her dress?

I mean, the whole getting drunk thing and then apologizing publicly for it...TACKY! But that dress takes away from whatever it was the Lily Allen was writing....whut? is that a bunch of cats throwing up blood? From ONTD:

Last time i wrote here , I was defending my honor and dignity , explaining my innocence and also outrage at the press for insinuating my behaviour was embarrassing. This time i'm putting my hands up , i got very drunk last night , too drunk. It's not cool getting that drunk , i feel awful and I have to thank my little brother alf for getting me home safely.
Kids , drink responsibly or you'll end up looking like this , not pretty ! Was quite fun though , from what i can remember. need fry up now .

Blatant Plug!

Ever wonder if there's another way to bring in some cash besides going to your job?

Give blog ads a try!

I know I like a chance to make some cash at just about any given opportunity. Not that Spin is a big ol' ho (ok, maybe I am.....maybe just like Daffy Duck in being a greedy li'l black duck) but hey, if you have the opportunity, then why not? It's almost as easy as being paid to watch television.

Anyhow, in an effort to catch up to and compete with the big boys (wow, I'm ambitious, aren't I?), it seems that blog ads is one of many ways to go. Besides, it helps me with practicing my writing skills and allows me to mouth off a bit about celebrities and pseudo-celebs, such as Britney Spears, who has been boringly normal of late, or her former paramour Adnan, who has been receiving death threats even after not being with her for how long now (courtesy of ONTD)? Or how about awaiting the arrival of the Golden WonderTwins of Angelin's womb? But I digress.

Would you like a tip? PayPerPost can help you out with advertising and with drawing in a little extra $$$! Would you like that? Just think, for typing a review about something, it helps build buzz about you and helps the advertiser, it's a win-win for all!

The Church raided!

the St. James strip club here in Houston, (known by some as the Church) got raided! Frankly, I'm surprised that any strip clubs here in Houston get raided, it's huge business for the city. Seriosuly, there are a lot of businessmen, local and international, who frequent the spots and spend a loooooot of money at these places. Usually the local cops just turn their heads, since they are pretty corrupt as well. I wonder what the owner did to piss the cops off! Did he forget their payoff?

from the smoking gun:

Sheriff's sting operation nets 18 arrests at Texas gentlemen's club

JUNE 2--Proving again that it's legally perilous to work at a Texas gentlemen's club, police last Thursday arrested 18 employees of a Houston strip joint on a variety of charges, including prostitution and violating the city's strict regulations governing sexually oriented business. The May 29 raid at St. James Cabaret was carried out by Harris County Sheriff's Office vice officers following a weeklong undercover operation. On the following pages you'll find mug shots of 15 of the women caught up in the law enforcement sweep, which was triggered by citizen complaints about operations at the club. This is at least the fourth time in the last 18 months that a Houston strip club has been raided. Previous cases, which are detailed here, here, here, and here, netted 32 arrests. In most instances, dancers were busted for improper contact with customers, a violation of the "three-foot rule" governing how close a dancer can get to a customer. (15 pages)

No, just no, no, NO!!

I love good anime and I am a fan of Death Note but for the love of shrimp, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A LIVE ACTION MOVIE!!! I do not like live action movies of anime, it ruins everything!!! I thought this was resolved when the world gave a resounding "HELL NO" to a Cowboy BeBop live action movie!!! Also, I have heard on the net that three Death Note movies are possible. From ONTD:

Another American remake of an Asian franchise
Vertigo Scribbling Death Note Remake

Within Universal's production notes for The Strangers it has been revealed - under producer Doug Davison's bio - writers Vlas and Charles Parlapanides are penning an American remake of Death Note for Vertigo Films. The brothers are currently overseeing the development of CW's upcoming television series Undercover, directed by John Stockwell (Turistas).

Death Note, Shusuke Kaneko's adaptation of the popular manga, has become a cult hit and spawned a sequel Death Note: The Last Name. The story concerns a student, Light Yagami, who discovers a notebook that gives him the ability to jot someone's name down within its pages and kill someone.

Vertigo, in addition to producing Strangers, is also at work on a remake of Anguish.

*what do you think? Zac Effron as Light? Srsly, could Zac pull off being a moody and dark genius, like Light is supposed to be?*



Here's the trailer for the first Japanese movie:

Blind Items!

Cuz i know u love them!

ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 05/01
That marriage didn't last long. You know the B+ list actress on the hit network drama who got married and said it would last forever. Heck, the fake marriage from the same show is going to last longer than this real one. How long do you have to stay married in order not to return wedding gifts?

TED CASABLANCA 05/01
One Girlie, Gonzo Blind Vice: As I’m off to get hitched, thought it would be terribly appropriate to give you a little salacious het-on-het action. I mean, why not, more straights than fruits get married, right? Oh, but could that just be because it’s only legal for you guys? Never mind. This isn’t a political soap bitch; it’s a Blind Vice, and as intent as I was to bring on the hetero horniness, Vadge Fly-Trap interfered. Or at least her gal-hungry paws did. Vadge, really, is just as ballsy as most of the guys she’s simply clobbered in the Biz. More so, I’d say. She’s sorta like that Spitzer dude in fact—so obviously gunnin’ for the girls, while (stupidly) thinking nobody’ll notice. Hardly! While Ms. VFT rakes in the major dough for her TV and movie appearances, much of the world may indeed have fallen in love with her, but I’m tellin’ ya, those worshippers certainly don’t include some rich-ass Bev Hills babes. "She was sitting next to me, and her hand kept brushing up against my leg!" revealed one 30ish, single, Chanel-suited gal (who doesn’t like gals, at least, not in that way), regarding a luncheon party she attended with Ms. Fly-Trap. "She was actually squeezing my thigh at one point," continued the guy-lovin’ lady, "and I, very directly, just had to ask her to stop it." How very polite. What’s the matter with a good ol’ bitch-slap to the overly painted puss, huh? I mean, if a guy had done that to some broad who didn’t want it, it’s safe to assume his pucker would be sucker-punched, essentially. Oh, completely forgot. People dare not cross Vadge Fly-Trap, that’s why. She is, in T-town, what Tom Cruise used to be: megapowered and poop-proof. But not for very much longer. AND IT AIN’T: Paris Hilton; Scarlett Johansson; Martha Stewart

POPBITCH 05/08
Which two LA-based superstars have started jogging together. Beverly Hills neighbours are enjoying gossiping about what they do to warm down.

Um, what?

are they trying to show a united front or something? Like, 'we really do get along for reals' ? I can't really tell who is who in this vid...can anybody else?

Tatum O'Neal is just another sad story

from
TMZ and Xonline:

Tatum O'Neal was just arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court for her crack and coke bust last night -- she's facing one misdemeanor charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance.

O'Neal was released on her own recognizance and she's due back in court on July 28.

Our spies say she looked a total mess in court, wearing a gray T-shirt -- and her purple bra strap was showing. She was "clearly distressed" and even had court officers blocking the view of onlookers.

As you've probably heard, the actress/daughter of Ryan O'Neal/ex-wife of John MacEnroe was busted for buying cocaine and crack last night near her Lower East Side apartment!

And here was the excuse she gave the cops, according to the New York Post:

"You know who I am, right?" Then she said, "I'm researching a part - I'm doing this for a part as a junkie. Can't we just forget about this?" !!!!

Personal Update!

maybe you're sick of these, but here's another one!

I am doing a lot better, my abdomen swelling has gone down greatly and it feels more normal. I have lost (I figure from tissue loss and fluid that I am finally getting out) now about 8 pounds in the last week. I still have an appetite, but it is no longer the ravenous, angry hunger that I was experiencing. I like that a lot better, I was tired of being dominated by my appetite!

I just still get very tired very quickly and have to lie down for a bit each day. I wish I could do more, I'm not allowed by my doctor to drive yet so I am still pretty house-bound. Maybe I should find a work from home job! ^_^

Anyhow, I am better, I feel better, just very tired still. Can't wait to be able to pick the weights back up and have a martini!
