And Madonna actually pays this person!

Everybody has a bad angle, even Madonna.

The singer, 49, was photographed Friday leaving the Kaballah Center in New York looking gaunt and tired. But pictures can lie, says her publicist.

"I just think the photographer got a bad shot of her or it was touched up to make her look bad," says her rep Liz Rosenberg. "I saw Madonna two days before at her rehearsal and she looked amazing – glowing skin and working really hard on her show."

"She may look a little thinner than usual," continues Rosenberg, "but she was dancing and singing better than ever and ate a nice healthy meal."

Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Hoefflin says weight loss can make for sharp cheekbones.

"From a physician who has never evaluated or treated Madonna, it's my impression that if she has lost significant weight, that you're seeing a good amount of facial fat loss in her face," he tells PEOPLE.

"The cheekbones can often stand out, appearing as [though] someone has undergone some form of mid-face enhancement," he adds.

As for the expression on Madonna's face in the photos, her rep joked, "Maybe she was getting ready to hurl a spitball at somebody."

Could it be the stress of the recent the rumors about her marriage? No, says Rosenberg.

"She's working hard rehearsing eight hours a day for her tour," says the rep, who also called rumors that the singer ghost-wrote parts of her brother's tell-all book "ludicrous."

"If she had anything to do with that book, it would have been better written and more eloquent," says Rosenberg. "To say Madonna needs publicity is insane. Her ticket sales are amazing. And she's in a great space."

Vince Vaughn: Is this really the biggest star in Hollywood?

Vince Vaughn, top of a new Hollywood pay league? Tom Cruise near the bottom? It's little wonder that filmgoers are puzzled. The numbers simply don't add up, says Kaleem Aftab

If you want to make money in Hollywood, employ Vince Vaughn. That's the conclusion arrived at in a survey of the "best value" actors, which has led to film accountants checking the stars' payslips, asking whether they are really worth all those zeros. The agents of actors who fared badly were straight on their phones talking up the value of their clients as Hollywood does what it does best - talk money.

The US business magazine Forbes published its Top 35 "Ultimate Star Payback" league table last week. It calculated a star's value by looking at the three most recent movies of actors who starred in films that opened on more than 1,000 screens in the five years to 1 January this year.

Forbes then calculated the gross income for each film by adding half of the worldwide box-office and the first three months of wholesale DVD revenues, and subtracting the budget. Gross income was then divided by the actor's total compensation to derive his or her payback figure.

The big surprise was that Vaughn, nowhere near the highest-paid actor over this period, came out on top. Forbes calculated that his three films, Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers and The Break-up, made his employers $14.73 for every dollar he was paid.

Blatant Spin Plug for Best Diet Pill

You know, I've struggled with my weight the past few years. Sometimes I just feel fat. I hate going to try on new clothes, I don't like the size I have to wear. I also know that I'm not the only one who goes through this. Sometimes it feels like diet and exercise just aren't enough and I think about if I need to use something extra to help get the pounds off. But what to use? What are the Best Diet Pills?

From my personal experience, diet pills didn't deliver what they promised. However, there was one that I took that did work. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking it because the price was jacked up to almost double and that killed that. I also can't remember the name of it and that's no help at all.

It used to be that you could google "diet pill samples" and you would find a plethora of free sample offers, that's how I used to try them. There are very few that do this any more. I can only think of Herbalife that will send you about a week's worth of free diet samples for you to try. These days, the companies want you to pay a small shipping fee so that they have your credit card number. If you read the fine print on these things, you'll see that with the shipping, you are giving permission to be enrolled in their autoshipping program. This takes about three months to get cancelled and is a pain in the butt.

Then again, after the Roger Clemens scandal with HGH, I was surprised to find out that HGH actually works. All the ads I had seen about it and how accessible it seemed to be made me skeptical of its actual potency.

But still, if you feel that using a diet pill is a needed option, how are you supposed to pick the Best Diet Pills?

I do remember one of the ingredients in the pill that I took that worked, it was serotonin. I can't quite remember the other main ingredient. Serotonin is often used to treat depression when the serotonin receptors in the brain are not hitting right, like a piston in a car. A side effect is sometimes weight loss. But do you go to a doctor for a prescription or do you go to a grocery store and buy it there?

I think there are questions, a lot of questions, to consider when looking at diet pills. How long do you plan to take them? How much will it cost? What are the side effects? Would the diet pill interact with any medication you might be taking, such as a birth control pill or antibiotic? Will it make you feel sick? What is Best Diet Pills for you?

Take care and please research to make the best choice for you.

Who is Mighty Virus kidding?

She doesn't know how to study! Has she ever even opened a book?

By Daniel Kilkelly, Entertainment Reporter

Rex Features

Miley Cyrus has hinted that she plans to study in London after quitting Hannah Montana.

The 15-year-old actress has confirmed that she will leave the hit Disney Channel show within the next two years.

Cyrus has now claimed that she is willing to take a break from showbusiness to concentrate on her education.

"I was online the other day looking at colleges. I want to go in London," Miley explained. "I'd like to do fashion and then photography."

Miley is currently home-schooled by a tutor. She has been promoting her new album Breakout in recent weeks.

What is up with all the bad movie calls?

Not another remake! And I'd refuse to see this one too! Stop it already, you idiots in Hollywood! STOP!

Steve Carell and Seth Rogen will suit up for a third Ghostbusters movie, according to Dread Central.

Rumours suggest that the new film will bring together original Ghostbusters Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, who will hand over their business to four younger paranormal experts.

Speculation regarding a third Ghostbusters film has been rife for years, but the possibility looked slim because of Bill Murray's reluctance to return for another sequel.

However, the original cast members, including Murray, have all lent their voices to the forthcoming Ghostbusters: The Video Game, due for release this autumn.

Who Was It?

Jessica Simpleton got the snot beat out of her? Who? What? I'm going to go there and say that whoever it was was probably trying to play with her funbags and her face got in the way. Yes, I am a horrible person. From INO:

How terrible! While being interviewed for Elle Magazine, Jessica Simpson admitted that she was a victim of abuse in the past. She wouldn't get into specifics, but claims it forced her to get out of the relationship as soon as she could.

I don’t want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run."

In one of the tracks from her upcoming album, Do You Know entitled Remember That, the star can be heard singing:

"It doesn’t matter how he hurts you / With his hands or with his words / You don’t deserve it / It ain’t worth it / Take your heart and run."

Pulling from life's experiences is always the best artistic expression. Simpson’s first country album is slated to hit shelves on 9 September.

Spin Advertising Plug for Great American Seafood Cook Off

Food....I love food. I love the idea of food competing with each other, like with the Cook off. The thought makes me giddy, imagining the wonderful smells and tastes! All that beautiful seafood! I would love to see everyone else's set ups and displays and learn aobut their love of seafood. I love fish a lot, should eat, would eat more.

You know, the best and freshest fish is the local kind. Besides the fact that it tastes better because of its freshness, think of how you help out local fisherman by buying locally. It helps them to sustain their families, promotes more cashflow into the local economy and also helps promote positiveness of domestic seafood sustainability. After all, local fisherman know their waters and you know the source of where the fish came from and know that it's fresh.

If I were able to compete in the Cook off , I'd probably try to do a mean shrimp boil, like one my friends and I tried when we stayed down at Galveston. We went to a local fish market and bought a couple of pounds of shrimp (recipe goes like this):

In a big pot, like one that holds five gallons or more (you probably want to use a propane boiler like you would find at a supermart and try to do it outside) put in some red potatoes (I wouldn't peel them but if you want to, slice them up), maybe a pound then add some ears of corn, about one ear per person (I would definitely cut these into quarters). Maybe add a chopped onion or two, whole but chopped....doesn't matter what kind, but red onions are sweet and white will add a little zip.

Add water til it just covers over the corn and bring to boil for about 15 minutes. If you have a long knife or cooking fork, you can poke the corn and down to the potatoes to see if they are tender yet. If not, check again in another 15 minutes. Check until tender! Once they are, add the shrimp to the top then fill with water and put in your Shrimp boil pack. Shrimp boil is the collection of spices that will make it all taste even yummier. We used spicy, which was perfect for us. You could add a little garlic as well. See, potatoes take forever to cook, then corn takes long as well. putting the potatoes at the bottom should help them to cook a little quicker.

Give it another 15-20 minutes, the shrimp should turn pink and your boil should be ready! It's easier to scoop it out into bowls or plates than to try to dump the water, just sayin'. Peel and eat the shrimp and add butter, salt and pepper to your potatoes and corn and enjoy! That's what I would compete with in a cook off!

Know any seafood recipes? Share in the comments! What's your favorite seafood? What recipe would you use in a cook off?

Now I'm hungry.

Dear Gawd No....

There's an awful rumor on ONTD that for Batman 3, Angelina Jolie wants to play Catwoman. For fuck's sake, please, please no. Angie, honey, I love you, but you simply don't fit this role. It really needs to be left to someone who plays a good, hardcore believable psycho woman and that just isn't you. Helena Bonham Carter would be so much better. Honestly, she would be....remember her in Fight Club as the crazy girlfriend? That's the kind of range needed to truly do Catwoman justice. Please Angie, please don't do it. You would ruin this Batman franchise. Catwoman is meant to be so much more than slutty and steamy. She has serious mental issues! Ok, not that you don't but don't take that personally. Please don't try to play Catwoman!

Poor Thing!

from msnbc.com:

A 44-pound cat found lumbering around New Jersey was abandoned by a woman who said her home was foreclosed, an animal shelter official said Thursday.

The porky white cat found Saturday became a local media sensation and was dubbed "Princess Chunk". But the animal is really a male whose name is Powder.

Jennifer Andersch, director of the Camden County Animal Shelter, said Thursday that the cat's owner came forward to describe the animal's background.

"It broke my heart to give him up," 68-year-old Donna Oklatner told MyFOXPhilly.com of the 10-year-old pet. "I could not take care of him. I love him. It broke me heart. I wanted him to have a good home." She told the station that she had given the cat to friends who said they'd take him to a shelter.

Shelter officials had been calling the porky cutie "Princess Chunk." But during an exam by a veterinarian on “Live with Regis and Kelly” on Thursday morning it was determined that "Princess" was actually a male.

According to media reports, the cat's former owner is now staying with friends. Because of her circumstances, she was "very sad" she could no longer care for the 44-pound cat, Andersch told the Philadelphia Inquirer. The owner was able to find a home for her other cat, Powder's brother, who isn't quite as chunky, she said.

Deborah Wright, a shelter volunteer and current foster owner of the kitty, toted him around Manhattan Wednesday on his media blitz. By the time the two appeared on the local NBC news broadcast at 5 p.m. Powder was clearly tiring of all the attention, his tail snapping back and forth as he lolled on the edge of the anchor desk.

Wright told anchor Sue Simmons that Powder eats a normal amount of cat food. "He's just been a little kind of down in the dumps when he first came [to live with her] but he’s starting to lighten up and get a little more friendly with me," she said.

Wright plans to speak with a veterinarian to get his thyroid checked and put Powder on a diet.

In the meantime, Wright says he needs “an understanding and loving family.” He's scheduled to meet the public at the shelter's pet "adopt-a-thon" at a pet store in Cherry Hill, N.J. on Aug. 17.

The largest tabby on record weighed 46 pounds, 15 ounces. That cat, who lived in Australia, died in the 1980s. The Guinness World Records has since dropped the category, fearing cat owners might harm their animals in an attempt to break the record.

*That must have been a hoot on Regis and Kelly-

Kelly: Gosh Reeg, Princess Chunk sure it kyyooot! (puts arms around cat to hug)

Regis: Is that Princess Chunk or chubby? How am I supposed to know these things?

Kelly: (face gets all red) Oh no, Reeg! Speaking of chubby....

Regis: don't be insulting, you know I work out.

Kelly: No, Reeg, I mean Princess Chunk has a chubby....

Regis: A chubby? How the hell is that? (feels under cat) OH MY GOD! WE'RE GONNA TAKE A COMMERCIAL....

Sorry for the lack of posts today, I'm working on getting a new job and that's taking a lot of my time right now!! But check back, you never know what could be up next!

And now....

For the obligatory shotgun wedding! How long do you think this joke will last? From INO:

Ahh, young love. Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiance, Casey Aldridge are ready to walk down the aisle. Ok is reporting that she's already started planning the wedding and that the two will say "I do," before the end of the year. Jamie Lynn is planning for the event to be held in her own backyard!

"She loves everything about the area where she lives. She's not going to get married at some luxury resort in the Caribbean or a hotel in Beverly Hills," a friend of the bride-to-be tells OK!. "Her own backyard with just the people who matter most is more Jamie Lynn's style."

She's ready to look her best on the big day.

"She's already down to her pre-pregnancy weight," says the friend. "She has the cutest figure!"

And of course, Britney Spears will be her maid of honor.

DO NOT WANT

Richard O'Brien is dismayed at plans for a big budget remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Even though the British entertainer wrote the Seventies stage musical, he won't be involved as, to his great regret, he signed over the film rights years ago. "Anger fuels and distorts my outlook on the whole thing," he tells me.

"When the stage show first went to the US, [music mogul] Lou Adler arranged the sale of the film rights to Fox. I wanted to take the contracts home to read but was hurried into signing them. After signing something I hadn't read, sure enough I found out I was going to be marginalised. It made Fox £360m, keeping them afloat for years. Lou made a conservative profit of about $20m, whereas I've made less than a million.
"But the way I have to look at it is, I have a roof over my head, food in the fridge and children who love me."

How do you sell the rights for one of the longest running movies EVER for less than a million dollars?
Also, just say NO to rocky horror remake. Original Frank is perfection.

Spin Tip!

Here's your Spin Tip for the day:

If you find the coffee you're drinking to be too bitter, use a squirt of lemon juice (just a squirt) to take the bitter out. Use a slice of lemon or just a bit from container juice, you can find it at the grocery in the produce section. You can also use this for beer that you find too bitter. I do this when I drink Guiness to kill the bitter taste. I learned this tip from a bartender!

Okay, let's get the baby post out of the way

Rebecca Romijn-O'Connell and her husband, Jerry O'Connell, are expecting twins, their rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The babies are due this winter. A source tells PEOPLE that both babies will be girls. The twins were conceived without the help of in vitro fertilization or the fertility drug Clomid, a source close to the couple also says.

The parents-to-be were married July 15, 2007, in an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles. He had proposed to her during a September 2005 trip to New York, a full year after they were first spotted together in L.A., taking in an Al Green concert and checking out a local deli.

Ugly Betty's Romijn, 35, recently told Self magazine she hoped to be "lucky enough" to have kids.

And just a little more than a week ago, O'Connell, 34, told PEOPLE, "We're trying to get pregnant."

"It would be amazing if it happened," he said, adding that practicing has been "a lot of fun."

Break out the pink onesies. Matt Damon's wife, Luciana – whom the actor says is "due soon" – is having another little girl!

"I'm so outnumbered down here, it's crazy," Damon, 37, told USA Today via telephone from his home in Miami.

This child will be the third girl in the Damon household, joining big sisters Isabella, 2, and Alexia, 9.

And while they're undoubtedly prepared with tons of hand-me-downs, one thing the couple doesn't have yet is a name. "We decided to wait till she's born," Damon said. "We're going to get a look at her and we'll probably keep debating it!"

The Bourne star also chatted about packing on the pounds for his "doughy" role in The Informant, joking that he was in danger of forfeiting his Sexiest Man Alive title.

Even now – when he's started to drop the weight – he told USA Today, "I'm the Sexiest Man Alive's chunky cousin."

I submit Miley Cyrus for condoms......from ONTD:


Miley Cyrus has been approached by LifeStyles Condoms to be a spokesperson for the condoms, they are willing to pay $1 million to use the 15 year old's appeal to younger fans and promote safe sex.

VP for the company, Carol Carrozza spoke to NY Daily News, "Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex, "With recent reports showing that one out of four teenage girls has an STD and the high level of teenage pregnancy, we believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set - and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America."

Miley's rep said they have not received the offer and they would "never consider" it.

The Dark Knight

Saw TDK yesterday and I know there's been a lot of hype on the net for a while and things built up about it and I've read the critics' reviews. Here's what Spin thinks:

OMG GO SEE THE MOVIE IT IS AWESOME!!! Be warned though, they throw stuff at you hard and fast, it can, at times, be a challenge to keep up with the story. I'm not too sure how some critics got the idea that the story was choppy, it wasn't. It was fast but it was well written and well acted.

Christian Bale gave a fabulous and easy performance as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Heath Ledger as the Joker was the best protrayal yet. He owned the role, he was totally convincing as the sociopathic clown. Ledger's portrayal gave new insight into what makes the Joker tick. It is really sad that he died, I would have loved to see him perform more as the Joker. This role would have been his gateway to serious dramatic work. He was that good. Was he Oscar good? Maybe.

Maggie Gyllenhaal was superb as Rachel, she gave an easy grace to the role that Katie Holmes just couldn't pull off.

I don't have any real complaints about the production....yes it is 2 1/2 hours but you don't get bored. One thing I noticed, in comparison with Iron Man, is that "the girl" in both movies (Pepper in Iron Man, Rachel in TDK) said the same thing to the respective hero, "Don't make me the reason you want to have a normal life." That's probably the only thing that bothered me, that this seems to be becoming a common theme with the heroine.

Go see it, you may want to see it two or three times to be able to catch everything that goes on. I would judge it as the best movie of the summer, with Iron Man at a close #2.

Blind Items!!!

I found these in CDAN comments:

#1 This legendary bachelor has a secret up his nose. He indulges in only the finest, and from a Hollywood gent who knows how to kill two birds with one stone. Our lothario shows up, shockingly, alone. No entourage or arm candy. He stays for awhile, indulges and chats a bit with his supplier. And more often than not he'd also dip into the supplier's home stash. Not his cocaine. The kept girl he'd found through a service. Neither the girl nor the supplier minded: business is business and she knew why she was there. He'd pay the man, pay the girl, and go home. Don't believe the gay rumors about this one. He's a solid bisexual all the way.

#2 How do I describe this girl without giving it away completely. Hm. I guess all I'll say is her dubious choices in sexual partners, not to mention the frequency and indiscretion, can be traced back to one little problem: the china white. Its also rumored to be the reason behind a breakup from not too long ago, a real god honest relationship, something our slut just never does. Oh, and her new partner? Yeah, its got him, too. I guess no one can quite think clearly when they've got a numb face and a straw up their nose...but it certainly explains the bad choices they've made of late. He was already on it when he met her and now together, they're steering out of control.

#3 One woman. Two pregnancies, neither much different from the other. Same douchebag husband. Same family drama. Same job. Same half a bottle of wine every night. Another mother to be that uses the "They let pregnant women drink their wine in Europe!" excuse. Yeah, but I'm sure they don't recommend getting drunk, honey.

*Spin's guesses: not sure but #1 is George Clooney, #2 Sienna Miller, #3 Tori Spelling I think*

and regular CDAN blind items:

#1 - Besides being a drunken buffoon, this A list actor has caused quite the stir at one of the gated complexes in which he lives. Seems he is a big fan of long walks at night. The thing is, his walks seem to always call for a break whenever he sees an open window that he can peer through. Doesn't seem to be all about sex. He just likes walking up to open windows and looking in. Neighbors don't appreciate it very much, although so far it has only involved private security and not the cops.

#2 - Mild mannered on and off screen, this aging, but not old, former Academy Award winning actor has a favorite haunt. He loves this S&M club. Although his name is on the membership records, when he is at the club or an event he always wears a mask the entire time and has everyone call him Steve. His favorite activities always have to include redheads. Don't know why, just one of his kinks apparently.

*Spin's guesses- #1 mel gibson, #2 Nic cage*

How Mighty Virus' phone gets hacked

Poor Hannah Montana. The beloved 15-year-old (known in the real world as Miley Cyrus) made headlines this week when her cell phone was hacked—again—revealing pictures she (and someone else) had taken of herself, posing with her belly bared and, in one shot, in a wet t-shirt standing under the spray from a shower.

Now one of the hackers involved with the theft of the photos from the cell phone has spoken up to take responsibility for the incident and, more importantly, to publicly discuss how it is done.

Requesting I refer to him by the handle "K Dollars," the hacker says he and his friends obtained the photos from Cyrus's cell phone months ago. The shots were ultimately released on the DigitalGangster.com website on July 12 and spread widely on the web, and though some observers claim the pictures are faked, no compelling evidence has emerged to indicate the shots are not real.

If you've seen how this works in the movies, you might think hacking a cell phone involves complex sessions of password cracking, heavy-duty computers, and dark underground lairs filled with custom equipment, but that's not the reality at all. In fact, says K, to get the pics off a cell phone, he barely has to touch a computer. The hack is almost completely done via the telephone, as K simply calls the cell phone company and pretends to be a supervisor, then simply requests a customer service rep give him the information he needs to access the account. In the case of a T-Mobile Sidekick like Cyrus's, he says, it's even easier since T-Mobile stores notes, contacts, and, yes, photos on a server instead of just on the phone, for use as a backup in case the phone is lost.

After obtaining the account information, K can call back and claim to be Cyrus (or another account holder) and switch the account to another phone he has handy, giving him instant access to all the original phone's contents. What if the rep asks for personal information to authenticate the call? If K needs additional data, like a Social Security Number, he says he usually calls the electric company, which usually has it on file, and pulls a similar trick to get them to give him the information, then calls back the cell phone company.

K says T-Mobile is hardly alone. This simple social engineering hack works the same way on any ISP, cellular carrier, or web-based email provider. The same basic techniques are responsible for the hacking of Paris Hilton's and Lindsay Lohan's cell phones (though some say Hilton simply used a password that was simply too easy to guess). In fact, K says he's been pulling these hacks since 2000, and little has changed since then. (I last interviewed K (then using a different handle) in 2003 regarding similar hacks of AOL accounts, which also relied on heavy telephone use and simply "mumbling" when the account rep asked for security information.)

Now for the sad part: I asked K what the average user can do to protect himself from these attacks, and aside from getting rid of your cell phone or computer, the answer seems to be "not much." "It's in the provider's hands for the most part," says K. Nor is anything likely to change. "I've been doing this for years," says K. "It just always works. It isn't new to the industry... both law enforcement and the ISPs know about it. They just choose to do nothing about it, at all."

What did you expect?

The National Enquirer reports that Jamie Lynn kicked Casey out of the house after she found calls to another woman on the bill for his cell phone. She is also said to try and keep track of his Internet usage to see if he’s getting up to anything sneaky online. Casey is back in the house now, and it sounds like Jamie Lynn really wanted to teach him a lesson:

New mom Jamie Lynn Spears threw her fiance Casey Aldridge out of their home - after she discovered he’s been calling other girls on his cell phone! It’s the latest in a series of battles between the teens since the birth of their daughter, Maddie Briann, on June 19…

The confrontation occurred soon after the couple moved back into their new 5-acre home in Liberty, MS, after spending three weeks at Lynn Spears’ gated mansion Serenity in Kentwood, LA.

While sorting through the mail, 17 year-old Jamie Lynn saw phone calls to other girls on Casey’s cell phone bill and confronted him.

“Casey told Jamie Lynn that she is ‘hormonal’ and that all the rumors of his cheating are just her imagination, but Jamie Lynn didn’t believe him,” said the insider. “It was too much for Jamie Lynn and she threw him out of the house. He stayed out all night.”

The Enquirer’s insider adds that Jamie Lynn thinks Casey “might be cheating with his old girlfriend.” They add that she’s been “searching the Internet for other evidence of his cheating” and that she obviously “doesn’t trust him.”

Um wow....

In vitro, huh?

Forget Mother Nature – Us Weekly reports in its new issue, on newsstands now, that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt turned to fertility treatments to quickly conceive twins Knox and Vivienne.

"They conceived through in vitro fertilization," a well-placed source within their camp tells Us. "They both desperately wanted more babies soon."

The chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina's age (33) naturally is under 1 percent; with in vitro, the chances are 25 percent. Says Dr. Arthur Wisot of L.A.'s Reproductive Medical Group (who did not treat the couple), "We live in an era of reproductive freedom, so anybody can do anything they want within legal limits."

The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source tells Us. "She could just knock it out."

Indeed, Jolie has spoken about her goal to do just that.

"If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young," she told Elle U.K. last year. Brad Pitt turns 45 on December 18.

A source adds: "They were too impatient."

Knox and Vivienne – born in Nice, France on July 12 – join the couple's adopted brood of Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and biological daughter Shiloh, 2.

Courtney Love needs to STFU

She's all over the place so I tried to slice it down to where she's talking about my man Trent. I need to cut a truly immature bitch.

from fama:

Hey! You were referencing Reznor. You know the guy who was a graphic design major? Heir to a massive fortune on Reznor heaters? The guy who came up with NIN logo, then the band name, then a band? Details once said we had a thing. That's not news. It was what it was. I didn't take it too much more seriously than him. I won't give TMI, but the black terry cloth robes with the bands names embroidered in gold, the cat scratches on my door at night, the endless head holding her and secrets and horror stories, I have never repeated.

He was in his prime and well, fuck me he had that dammed song, "and yooooou can have it all, my empire of shit." I don't care. All the sports bar shit just melted for every girl in the house and me too. I admit it- that song was like watching Hamlet and boy did he know it. Girls crying with love for him in a rock star way, the groupies and cocaine usage, that I thought went out with hair bands.

We didn't have groupies. We had competitive girls in OTHER BANDS. I had competition then. Now, I do not. I suppose because its not an economic or particularly social model that's very easy to pull off; being class clown until the fucking record comes out. I could've put out a perfectly good, even great, record, but it wasn't enough. I'm sorry. I'm aiming for the moon and the moon I shall have. Even if it sells one copy, I will know in my heart, I did the very, very best, to the best of my ability, to leave a legacy of greatness behind.

Anyway some journo at Details asks him a few months later after a strange parting, and the very emotional death of his beloved dog, but still this doesn't excuse this comment, "So, Courtney Love, you two hooked up? Is it true she's pregnant?" His response, "It would have to have been the immaculate conception." The gross out factor was so huge. OH YEAH, BEEN HERE ! THE GIRL IN SCHOOL ALL THE BOYS WANNA SLEEP WITH, BUT THEN WON'T COP TO IT TO THEIR FRIENDS.

Anyway, in a Spin interview, I stated the truth. Frankly. he started it.

"Reznor blah blah?" "He shouldn't call his band Nine Inch Nails when he has a three inch one." Well that was THAT and the shit hit the fan. I was referencing his song Mr. Self Destruct. I NEVER had a feud with KURT. Christ, the guy was my best friend on his earth and worth every penny of the crucifixion(s).

That was, sort of , he sort of? He's still pissed I called my band Hole. I never said size, shape, etc. I never said "cabbage rose hole" or "tea rose hole." In any case vajayjay was only one connotation of that band's name. It was truly from the Euripides' Medea, but it got the job done. It was a chance and a risk to name the band that, as Babes in Toyland were going to go full throttle. We were gonna call ourselves "swampussy," but what if, what if, what ifs kept coming. What if, what? There was no way that model of band was, as much as I love them, going to go mainstream. In any case, I had to take the chance with that name, but that's not the point. The point is Reznor got PISSED. HEY, HE STARTED IT.

*Here's joker Courtney ----->*




And here is hotness from just a coupla days ago:


Sorry Courtney, you lose.

and btw from digital spy:

Courtney Love has been sued for $1 million over profits from her sale of Nirvana's back catalogue.

Accountants London & Co claimed that Love broke a verbal agreement to share 5% of her earnings from her company The End of Music.

The firm is claiming that Love owes them $975,000 (£489,277) after she sold a percentage of her rights to late husband Kurt Cobain's Nirvana back catalogue in 2006.

In the filing, London & Co has alleged that Love earned $19.5 million (£9.8 million) from her sale of Nirvana's song rights.

Love was given rights to Nirvana's music after frontman Cobain committed suicide in 1994.

Shanna Moakler calls Kim K a donkey!!!

And I'm still loling!!! from ONTD:


So I read the most hilarious interview last night because I could just picture this whole thing going down in my head. Reggie Bush had to defend his lady Kim Kardashian when Travis Barker’s on again off again wife Shanna Moakler attacked her at a recent party. Apparently Kim tried numerous times to sleep with travis while he was married to Shanna and while Kim was with Reggie. Peep this snippet from an interview Shanna just did with TheDirty.com:

Nik Richie: Yea, we heard you had a little altercation with someone at Carmen Electra’s bbq. Is that true?

Shanna: Yea! I was at this bbq and I saw what I thought was a donkey posing on the stairs but much to my surprise, it was Kim Kardashian. No, wait, it was a donkey! She’s soooo f*cking fat! She’s 5′2″ and she’s like 140. She was wearing a sarong to cover her huge big ass! I like a nice ass but hers is not a nice ass!

Nik Richie: Not nice?! I’m surprised it even fits through a door!

Shanna: Anyway, I saw her and she was standing next to Carmen (Electra) for her press op, of course. I thought I was going to be at this bbq with friends so when I saw her I simply had zero desire to be there. I was walking out but the sheer site of her makes me ill. I actually feel bad for Paris (Hilton). Okay, maybe not, but sort of. This girl totally uses her! I walked by her and just told her that she was lucky to be standing next to Carmen. I was trying to respect her (Carmen Electra) party but then the east coast came out of me and I threw my drink on her (Kim Kardashian). I decided I was tired of being the moral police! I went to grab my things and go when my girlfriend asked me where I was going. I just told her I absolutely didn’t want to be there if that whore was there. Then, Reggie comes up and says (Shanna switches to a Mr. T voice) “YO! Be careful what you say!” And I was like “Your girls a whore!” and he said it again - “Be careful what you say.” and I just told him again - “Your girl’s a whore!” I seriously don’t understand, can someone explain to me why these men defend these girls who literally have a different tongue in them every night?! If your woman wants to f*ck married men and ruin families, you better expect a pissed of ex-wife is going to come out! It floors me when they’re so shocked and awed by this! Ugh, so he (Reggie) came in and was trying to be really nice and I actually liked him! I just felt bad for him because he was defending her and he has no clue why I was event upset. …I’ve got some e-mails he should probably read.

This popped into my head and now it won't leave! So I'm sharing.

More about the Christian Bale episode

from msnbc.com:

LONDON - New details are emerging in the arrest of “The Dark Knight” star Christian Bale.

The incident that lead to the actor’s arrest reportedly occurred following a confrontation between the actor and his mother, Jenny Bale. She allegedly insulted Bale’s wife, Sandra ‘Sibi’ Blazic, according to Britain’s The Daily Mail.

A source close to Bale told the newspaper he “flew off the handle” at his London hotel when Jenny Bale said “some outrageous things” about her son and his wife.

Though “The Dark Knight” star was arrested and released on bail, the newspaper’s source claims Bale did nothing wrong.

“Christian was stressed, but he didn’t lay a finger on anyone. Instead, he flew off the handle and cussed his mother. He just got very loud because his mother was saying some very outrageous things about him, and his wife,” the source said.

Bale’s lawyers issued a statement Tuesday denying the allegations of assault.

*If mom was being a bitch to his wife, then CB had every right to cuss her out. I'd think less of him if he didn't.*

Now We ALL Know!

Way to go Lynn, one more chalkup for you and from ONTD:




Lynne Spears is still haunted by a tragic 1975 car crash that claimed the life of a 12 year-old boy. The “Pop Culture Mom” was 20 when she ran over a child sprinting down a Kentwood, Louisiana on his bike. He was killed instantly.

“To this day, Lynne hasn’t gotten over what she did. She gets that terrified look in her eye when she is thinking about it,” a Spear family spy revealed in this week’s edition of the National Enquirer.

Lynn was rushing her brother to the hospital after he’d suffered an injury when she struck the boy.

“It bothers Lynne still to this day,” a former employee of the Spears adds. “She really doesn’t like to talk about it. She just wanted to forget that it ever happened - but she can’t.”

“She has told only a few people about the accident and always says, ‘Please don’t think I’m a bad person.’”

More hype for Madonna's tour?

or maybe she just needs to eat a good, juicy steak? from digital spy:

Madonna's health has reportedly taken a turn for the worse as problems mount up in her personal life.

According to a report in The Sun, the popstar's marital problems, accusations of an affair with baseball star Alex Rodriguez and the publication of a tell-all book by her estranged brother are causing her to "physically and mentally" break down.

An insider told the tabloid: "Madonna is doing less than okay. She has been rehearsing for the tour and she is totally miserable.

"She's down physically and mentally. The situation with Guy is very, very tense. The way the press are going crazy with the A-Rod story, her brother's book and her physical exhaustion are all taking their toll."

The insider added: "She feels nobody has taken her side. One of her closest pals says she has never seen Madonna so low. She has been feeling low and looking really gaunt.

"Madonna was told to go soft on work and rehearsals, so she will now take one proper day off every week and go easy in the mornings."

The Queen of Pop has also been diagnosed with anemia and reportedly has "blood analysis done every few days - including one during last Friday's rehearsal in front of everyone".

Um, What?

Christian Bale getting violent? I don't even know what to say. from msnbc.com:

His mother and sister reportedly complained that the 34-year-old actor assaulted them at a west London hotel on Sunday.

Britain's Press Association said they made the allegation at a police station in south England on Monday and that the allegation was passed on to Scotland Yard in London. It said questioning was expected Tuesday.

When asked Tuesday about the news reports, Scotland Yard said it was investigating an allegation referred to it by another police force but refused to say whether the incident involved Bale.

The Sun newspaper said police did not question Bale on Monday because they did not want to interfere with the premiere.

Does Khloe Kardashian have a really big ego?

or is she just that annoying?

from USmagazine:

Khloe Kardashian says she was released from jail after just 173 minutes on Friday because of bomb threats.

The reality star, 24, was originally slated to serve time for a 2007 DUI at a county jail in downtown Los Angeles, but due to "some complications," she was taken to the Lynwood, California, jail for women.

"As soon as I got to Lynwood, there were three bomb threats, and so they put me in solitary confinement," she said on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show Monday.

"A warden came down to see me and said, 'You're the one causing all the problems here ... There's all these bomb threats, and we're thinking it's for you.'

"They released me early because I was a threat to the prison," Kardashian added. "There's 2,500 inmates in there, and they [had] 2,515 [when I was there]. So they were overcrowded, but [my release was] because of the hysteria.

"The whole prison was on lockdown," she went on. "It was actually really scary."

During her time behind bars, Kardashian said she was forced to watch a video about "how to be a good inmate, how to avoid staph infections. This was an intense video... disgusting visuals."

Even though her stint was short, she said she is still paying for her DUI (which she blamed on the death of her father).

"I still have to go and do all of my classes and everything else and still pay. It's so much money!" she said. "It's been heartache for my family."

*shut up bitch, if it had been any of us out here in the ordinary world, we'd be locked away and forgotten about!*

Good News!

Remember the whole Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction BS? Well, there's been a court ruling and the fines have been thrown out! Justice at last because it was all crap anyway!

from yahoo news:

PHILADELPHIA - A federal appeals court on Monday threw out a $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp. for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that ended with Janet Jackson's breast-baring "wardrobe malfunction."

ADVERTISEMENT

The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communications Commission "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity.

The 90 million people watching the Super Bowl, many of them children, heard Justin Timberlake sing, "Gonna have you naked by the end of this song," as he reached for Jackson's bustier.

The court found that the FCC deviated from its nearly 30-year practice of fining indecent broadcast programming only when it was so "pervasive as to amount to 'shock treatment' for the audience."

"Like any agency, the FCC may change its policies without judicial second-guessing," the court said. "But it cannot change a well-established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure."

"This is an important win for the entire broadcasting industry because it recognizes that there are rare instances, particularly during live programming, when it may not be possible to block unfortunate fleeting material, despite best efforts," the network said.

SamLo gets ignored, Lindsay is pissed!!!! All because nobody cares any longer. from digital spy:

Lindsay Lohan was unhappy when she was ignored by the public after flying into New York City this week.

The actress expressed surprise when her arrival in the city alongside girlfriend Samantha Ronson went unnoticed. Instead, crowds were flocking at the airport to see David Beckham and his LA Galaxy teammates, who were jetting in to play a match against the New York Red Bulls.

An onlooker told The Mirror: "As Lindsay arrived at the luggage carousel, she saw crowds of people rushing through. She started to turn on her smile but it soon became a scowl when everyone practically trampled over her to get to Beckham.

"There must have been about 30 fans pushing through to get his picture. She turned to Sam and said, 'Where are they all going - who the hell is that?' Lindsay was gutted."

Michelle Williams can't cope

from digital spy:

The ex-lover of late Batman star Heath Ledger has gone into hiding as his final film makes its cinema debut, according to a report.

Actress Michelle Williams has told friends that she cannot cope with the huge hype surrounding The Dark Knight, which sees Ledger taking on the role of Batman's nemesis The Joker.

Michelle has also become increasingly concerned as tension mounts over Heath's fortune. She and their two-year-old daughter Matilda may lose out as Ledger's will was made before they met. Williams' father Larry has already made a public demand for Heath's dad Kim to be open about his late son's assets.

In a statement, Larry said: "It's real simple: Just come clean with everything. It's so easy to resolve this, he just has to say where the income went and where the assets are."

A friend of Michelle told the Sunday Mirror: "The last few weeks have been particularly hard on Michelle because Heath's face has been plastered all over TV and on billboards. It's been extraordinarily difficult as she tries to somehow come to terms with his death and what that means for little Matilda.

"Then there is the awful, festering issue of what he was worth, where the money has gone and what there is going to be in the estate for Matilda."

Have baby, lose the man?

from IDLYITW:

In March of last year, Salma Hayek came out of nowhere and said she was pregnant and engaged to French billionaire, Francois-Henri Pinault. It was a shock, because nobody knew she was even dating anyone. Now, it looks like the love has gone. It's strange how that happens immediately after you give birth to a kid whose dad is worth $14.5 billion. USA Today reports:

Mexican-born actress Salma Hayek and French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault have called off their engagement, their representative confirms to USA TODAY. "We are sad to announce the engagement of Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault has been canceled.."

When asked for comment, Salma Hayek said, "Cha-ching!" Then she pretended to pull the handle on an old-fashioned cash register. Then she did the worm. I hope she is able to find someone soon who will be able to mend her broken heart.

Britney's new album!!!

Comin back with a vengeance. According to the Sunday Mirror via Showbizspy, Britney has recorded a few songs that aren't exactly similar to Bombastic Love. "[Britney] has already penned a number of tracks. One, titled 'ATM', accuses her mother of using her for money. It contains the lyrics: "Hey Mama, I know it's my cash you seek... You know they treat me like an ATM, but y'all know that I'm too good for 'em."

Another song recorded by Britney hints the idea that Justin Timberlake was not Britney's first love, or possibly first you-know-what. "Titled 'Already Bad', it reveals: "I know you thought you were the first, but I had already quenched my thirst, I was already bad."

An insider told the newspaper: "The songs are up tempo and there are some wicked heavy beats. She's built on the foundations she laid in her last album, Blackout.

"These tunes will change the way people think about Britney. A lot of people have messed her around over the years and she's bottled up all this anger and now she's just let it all out."

Madonna 'to reunite Britney and Justin'

Madonna wants to reunite Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake on stage, say reports.

The veteran popstar is planning to have the pair join her for the finale of her 'Sticky & Sweet' world tour in Miami.

Spears has already filmed a video cameo to appear on giant screens at the shows, but Madonna also wants her to appear in person, according to The Sun.

She is also apparently keen for Justin Timberlake to perform one of their collaborations from her recent Hard Candy album.

"Madonna is always trying to raise the bar and Britney and Timberlake on the same stage would be perfect," said a source.

"More likely is that they both appear on different dates. But if anyone can make this happen it's Madonna."

The question is if the interview really took place (from that grape juice):

'Wholesome' Hollywood couple, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, have revealed that the secret to the success of their 11 year marriage is that they have an 'open relationship'. Speaking to Reveal magazine, Will had the following to say:

"Our perspective is, you don't avoid what's natural and you're going to be attracted to people." he says.

"And if it came down to it, then one would say to the other: 'Look, I need to have sex with somebody. Now, I'm not going to if you don't approve of it'."

The 39-year-old star explains that the couple's open policy has been in place from day one of their 10-year marriage.

"In our marriage vows, we didn't say 'forsaking all others'. We said 'you will never hear I did something afterwards'. Because if that happens the relationship is destroyed."

Other things that Will says are important in his relationship are keeping in shape for his "little firecracker" Jada, the "look in her eyes", and communication.

"And lots of sex makes for a good marriage too!" {Source}

Though there has long been murmurings about Will and Jada's marriage, this is the first time either has spoken on this particular issue.

“Same thing with Miley. She’s hanging out, she’s telling the jokes, she’s laughing, she’s signing an autograph. Camera goes on her and she was just unbelievable.”

It's Fun to Know: A New Menu for the Olympics

The Beijing Olympics are coming up in August, and Chinese officials have been preparing for it well in advance of the competitions. That includes encouraging restaurateurs to change the way certain foods are listed on restaurant menus. You see, the name of a dish in Chinese (which usually has something to do with its appearance or origin) doesn't always translate well into English. Check out the examples below:

Traditional Chinese name: "Chicken without sexual life"

Alternate proposed by the government: "Steamed pullet" (A pullet is a young chicken that has not produced eggs.)

Traditional Chinese name: "Husband and wife's lung slice"

Alternate proposed by the government: "Beef and ox tripe in chili sauce"

Traditional Chinese name: "Bean curd made by a pock-marked woman"

Alternate proposed by the government: "Mapo tofu"

OH NOOOO!

(AP) -- Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman have broken up, their publicists said Monday.

"Jimmy and Sarah have no further comment," Kimmel's spokesman Lewis Kay told The Associated Press, confirming the split that was first reported on Vanity Fair magazine's Web site.

Silverman's publicist, Amy Zvi, confirmed the breakup in an e-mail message to the AP. Zvi didn't immediately respond when asked for further details.

The pair dated for five years, and were one of Hollywood's funniest — and seemingly solid — couples.

Earlier this year, they took the Internet by storm with a mega-popular video duel. Silverman debuted a clip of her and Matt Damon singing about their fake love affair on Kimmel's ABC late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and Kimmel later responded with a star-studded video declaring a romance with Damon's best friend, Ben Affleck.

Silverman, 37, has made frequent appearances on the 39-year-old Kimmel's talk show. The comedian has starred in a feature-film length version of her one-woman show, "Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic," and fronted her own Comedy Central series, "The Sarah Silverman Program."

Nicole Richie is "fed up" with her friend Paris Hilton, say reports.

The socialite is annoyed that Hilton has moved next door to her in Glendale, California, because she doesn't welcome the press attention.

"Nicole moved out there to get away from the paparazzi," a source told the New York Post.

The Wonder Twins have Arrived!!

Wonder Twin powers activated! And on the best day, we share July 12th!! from omg!

Associated Press

- PARIS (AP) — The Brangelina twins are here: Angelina Jolie has given birth to a girl and a boy.

The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told The Associated Press that the actress, the babies and Jolie's partner, Brad Pitt, "are doing marvelously well."

Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Caesarean section on Saturday night.

He told the AP on Sunday morning that the boy weighed just over 5 pounds and the girl 5 pounds. The 33-year-old actress gave birth at around 8 p.m. on Saturday night, the doctor told the AP by telephone.

Pitt was there during the operation, said the doctor, who delivered the twins at the seaside Lenval hospital in Nice in southern France.

"Everything is going well," said Sussmann. "The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well."

He said the Caesarean was moved forward from its originally planned date "for medical reasons" so that the babies could be born "in the best conditions." Sussman did not give details.

He said Jolie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days. The doctor said he believed the baby girl's middle name was chosen in honor of Jolie's mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died in January 2007 after a 7 1/2-year battle with cancer.
