The New and Improved Celebrity Gossip Thread

[sarahh]

Welcome to the ALL NEW celebrity gossip thread! You gotta know this would by my first post in this new forum!!

LOHAN TO CELEBRATE 19TH BIRTHDAY MULTIPLE TIMES: Lindsay Lohan has decided to go all out for her 19th birthday - by having as many parties as she can before her big day. The Freaky Friday star will actually turn 19 on July 2, but she kicked off celebrations early, by partying with a group of pals - including Nicole Richie and David Spade - at Hollywood hot-spot Basque on Sunday. She says, "My friend and I are having a contest... It was just her birthday and she had like 10 birthdays. She kept saying it was her birthday and she kept getting cake at dinner, so we're having a contest. I started my birthday the other night after the Herbie: Fully Loaded premiere... It was small. I had friends. I did a small dinner, but I probably will have something else. I'll be in Minnesota. I'm filming a movie over there." Source:Source (http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/lohan%20to%20celebrate%2019th%20birthday%20multipl e%20times) PUNKY POWER!!!!!

OK, I am banging my head against my desk trying to remember the words to the Punky theme song... HELP!

Her name is Soliel Moon Frye (yes, I know you know that) so I wonder if she'll try to top her parents and give her kid an even weirder name... or if she's going to be cool and give her kid a normal name because she knows what it's like to go through life being Soliel Moon Frye?

I would certainly hope that Soliel Moon Frye would choose a nice, normal name for her child. Of course, she could argue that at least everyone knows her name because of how unusual and unique (and bizarre) that it is. I'm still reeling from Penn Jilette's daughter, Moxie Crimefighter. Why, dear Lord, Why???

[nylons73]

Noooo! Please don't let her be in MN for her birthday. My birthday is the day after hers and I will be there too. Boo! Wonder what she's filming in MN?

[lml41981]

Didn't LL do the multiple party thing for her 18th birthday, too?

I think Soliel looks very pretty. :)

[sheartm7]

Oh wow, I had no idea that Soliel was pregnant. Is she married?

[sarahh]

Oh wow, I had no idea that Soliel was pregnant. Is she married?Yup--she has been married since 1998 to a man named Jason Goldberg. She's due in August.

"In consideration of our sons' welfare, our priority lies with our responsibilities as parents.

"There is no third party involved."

Macpherson, 41, built on her success as a model to win roles in films including "Batman and Robin". She now has her own line of women's underwear, Elle Macpherson Intimates.

Paris' Unbelievable Gift (http://www.sky.com/showbiz/article/0,,50001-1186578,00.html)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/lawyerlee2/ParisChoo1.jpg

Paris Hilton must be the luckiest girl alive after her fiance demonstrated his ridiculous generosity.

The young socialite doesn't even have to ask for things anymore - all she needs to do is say she likes something and then her boy Paris will get it.

Luckily for girl Paris, the recent gift comes in the slightly-tricky-to-wrap form of a massive mansion.

So, exactly how did this gift-purchasing come about?

Well, the Paris pair popped out one evening to a party in Beverly Hills, the destination was a Mediterranean-style house, decorated by Esquire magazine and recently owned by American footballer Keyshawn Johnson.

The long-haired Paris instantly fell in love with the pad - worth a healthy $12million - that's about 6.5million in sterling.

So like all good fiances, super wealthy Mr Latsis just decided to buy his Mrs-to-be the snazzy property.

He is a Greek shipping heir after all.

Kidman Gets Physical for 'Bewitched' Role (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050624/ap_en_mo/nicole_kidman)

LOS ANGELES - Nicole Kidman says she would love to have a witch's powers for a day — especially if it's a bad day.

"It's kind of nice to be able to, if you're pissed off, blow up the cappuccino machine and make a dog jump into your arms and (have) him speak in tongues," the actress told AP Radio.

On a more serious note, Kidman said taking on the role made famous by Elizabeth Montgomery in the 1964-72 ABC series posed several physical challenges. According to Kidman, she "needed a mirror and the slo-mo (button) on the VCR" to master twitching her nose ... and an even more difficult task was sitting on the broom in a lady-like pose.

"You get harnessed and they lift it up," she said. "You're flying and thinking, 'Does this look OK? Cross your legs!'"

Kidman said she also felt self-conscious about being on the set with Montgomery's husband, William Asher, who has a cameo in the film.

"(He's) an extra in one of the (scenes)," she said. "He'd visit the set a lot, and I always felt slightly uncomfortable that he was looking at me thinking, 'She's not at all like her.'"

"Bewitched" is in theaters now.

A Baby Girl for Rachel Griffiths

http://img.timeinc.net/people/i/2005/news/050704/rgriffiths.jpg

Six Feet Under star Rachel Griffiths – who plays former wild child Brenda – is a mom again, her publicist tells PEOPLE exclusively.

The Australian-born actress, 36, and her husband of 2 1/2 years, artist Andrew Taylor, welcomed their daughter at a Los Angeles hospital on Thursday. They expect to announce the baby's name early next week.

Mother and baby are doing fine and the family is "extremely happy," says her rep.

The new arrival weighed 8 lbs. and is the second child for the couple, who also have a 17-month-old son, Banjo Patrick – named for Australian poet Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson. (Husband Taylor is also from Down Under.)

HBO's Six Feet Under is currently in its fifth and final season. Griffiths's character is romantically involved with Fisher family member Nate, played by Peter Krause.

'American Idol' Season 3 Finalists: Where Are They Now? (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1504608/20050623/index.jhtml?headlines=true) MTV.com

By early 2006, nine of 2004 season's top 10 singers scheduled to have at least one album on shelves.

As this season's "American Idol" finalists prepare for the launch of their summer tour, last year's singers are doing some preparing of their own: By early 2006, nine of the 2004 season's top 10 singers are scheduled to have at least one album on shelves.

While winner Fantasia, runner-up Diana DeGarmo and fifth-place finisher George Huff have already released records, sixth-place finalist John Stevens is lined up to be next. The crooner's debut, Red, is due Tuesday.

The album, which features production work from veterans David Foster and Steve Tyrell, includes standards like "All of Me" and "It Had to Be You," as well as a cover of Maroon 5's "This Love."

"It's more jazzy," Stevens, who just graduated from high school, said of his version of "This Love." "It was [Maverick Records chief] Guy Oseary's idea. I didn't really know how it would work, but it turned out well."

Following shortly after Stevens will be third-place singer Jasmine Trias, whose self-titled debut, which she describes as "very R&B, very soulful, with a little bit of edge," is due July 12 on Aloha Music International. The first single, "Excuses," has been shipped to radio stations.

"It's about a girl who really loves this guy, but she's not sure if he's really feeling her, so he's making excuses why he can't be with her," Trias explained. "I feel so grateful to be releasing an album. 'American Idol' was one thing, but this is a dream come true."

Fourth-place finisher La Toya London, a favorite of "Idol" critics, also has a release date set. Her debut, Love & Life, is due September 20 on Concord Records.

London is shooting a video for the first single, "Appreciate," this week in Los Angeles. Black Thought from the Roots guests on the track. "I have some other tricks up my sleeve, but I want to keep it a secret," she said.

Huff, who's already released a Christmas EP (My Christmas EP!), is working on a full-length for Word Records. Camile Velasco, meanwhile, is signed with Motown Records.

"Hopefully I'll be coming out with a single by the end of the summer and album in the fall," said Velasco, who is working with Pras from the Fugees.

Finally, Jon Peter Lewis has released a single through his Web site and is shopping an album to labels. "Most of the production is done, so it should be out later this year," Lewis said. "I really like this song 'Plastic on the Inside.' It's about plastic surgery, so it's pretty topical."

Justin Timberlake In Talks To Co-Star In Flick With Samuel L. Jackson (http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1504650/06242005/story.jhtml) MTV.com

Christina Ricci also signed on for 'Hustle & Flow' director Craig Brewer's 'Black Snake Moan.'

While best known as one of the new kings of pop, Justin Timberlake seems to be primarily focused on beefing up his Hollywood resume these days.

The fledgling thespian is in discussions to co-star in "Hustle & Flow" director Craig Brewer's "Black Snake Moan," according to The Hollywood Reporter. If Justin ends up signing on for the project, he'll be working alongside Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci.

Of course, Justin's no tenderfoot in front of the camera. In the forthcoming "Alpha Dog," Timberlake flaunts his acting chops as a fictional member of a drug gang led by Jesse James Hollywood, who orchestrated the kidnapping and brutal murder of a 15-year-old in August 2000; the film stars box-office biggies Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone (see "Justin Timberlake To Begin His Life Of Crime Next Week"). He also stars alongside Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman and LL Cool J in "Edison" (see "Justin Timberlake Goes To Court To Prep For Film Role"), as a young journalist who uncovers an elite unit of corrupt cops. And he's signed on to voice a young King Arthur in the third installment of the "Shrek" franchise (see "Justin Timberlake Will Learn His Lesson In 'Shrek 3' ").

The plot of "Black Snake Moan" revolves around a nymphomaniac (Ricci) who enlists an older bluesman (Jackson) to help "cure" her disorder. Timberlake would play Ricci's boyfriend, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Not only would the film make a nice addition to Timberlake's blooming film career, it would give him a chance to spend a little time in his hometown: "Black Snake Moan" is set to begin shooting in September in Memphis.

Senora Spice goes flamenco (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=353375&in_page_id=1773&in_a_source=)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/lawyerlee2/PoshBecksFlamenco.jpg

by HENRY MELLER, Daily Mail

Victoria Beckham chose to adopt the lady of Spain look - stepping out in a sweeping flamenco-style dress.

Cool and elegant in the blue and white creation, the former Posh Spice made her way with husband David from Claridge's hotel in central London to Elton John's annual summer party.

The couple have a home in Spain following the soccer's star's move to Real Madrid and Victoria was clearly making a bow to the country's traditional fashion.

However, as they travelled to Sir Elton's White Tie and Tiara charity ball at the star's Windsor mansion, she was tiara-less and Beckham was white tie-less.

As well as the Beckhams - who flew back from a holiday in St Tropez for the event - guests included Liz Hurley with Arun Nayar and Rod Stewart with Penny Lancaster.

Even so, the 58-year-old host clearly felt the need to make it plain that he did not want to mix with any riff-raff. One guest, herself advised of the evening's bizarre rule, said: "I was staggered when I was told not to approach Elton. To be honest, it is absurd. I have been to the white-tie party in previous years and all the guests mingled very informally.

"Because only the creme de la creme are invited, they can let their hair down.

"Elton is obviously a star, but this is bordering on paranoia - he is acting like old-fashioned royalty, or some tinpot dictator."

The annual bash has become one of the social events of the summer.

Tickets are £1,000 a head and as well as a six-course dinner and dancing, there is an auction to raise money for Sir Elton's Aids foundation.

Denise Richards' split misery (http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/47232004.htm)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/lawyerlee2/DeniseSamLola.jpg

Denise Richards has revealed her split from husband Charlie Sheen has sent her into a spiral of depression.

The stunning actress filed for divorce from the Hollywood hellraiser in March after three years of marriage - amid allegations the star had cheated on her with prostitutes.

Richards, 34, has now been left to bring up the couple's two daughters, 15-month-old Sam and new arrival Lola, alone and admits she is finding it a struggle.

She said: "Life is what it is I just have to make the best of it The split was the hardest decision of my life".

"I never in a million years thought I would be in the position I am today".

The beautiful brunette, who still refuses to give details as to why she brought divorce proceedings against Sheen, admits the split has left her devastated.

Richards claims some days she feels so low she can barely function, but has to stay positive for the sake of her children .

"She told American magazine Us Weekly: "Right now, I'm thinking about being a good mom.

"I have many moments where I'm not feeling brave. But at home, I have two girls to now focus on. I have to put on a brave face. I have to take care of them, be happy and keep things positive. It's really important."

Academy invites Foxx to join as member[/b] (][b)
Will Ferrell, Clive Owen also offered a chance at elite club
The Associated Press

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/lawyerlee2/JamieFoxxOscar.jpg

LOS ANGELES - When “Ray” star Jamie Foxx won a best actor Oscar in February, he shouted out, “wow, wow, wow, wow!”

Now the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is offering him another wow-worthy honor: membership in the organization.

The Academy announced Friday that it has invited Foxx and 111 other notables within the film community to join in 2005.

That number, down from 150 in past years, represents the Academy’s new goal of selectivity to slow its growth, said spokesman John Pavlik.

This year’s crop spans the gamut from “Bewitched” comedian Will Ferrell to Mexican heartthrob Gael Garcia Bernal (“The Motorcycle Diaries”).

Thirty-three Oscar nominees were asked, including actors Clive Owen (“Closer”) and Thomas Haden Church (“Sideways”), actresses Sophie Okonedo (“Hotel Rwanda”) and Catalina Sandino Moreno (“Maria Full of Grace”), and screenwriter Paul Haggis (“Million Dollar Baby”).

Committees representing the Academy’s 14 branches, including film editors, producers and art directors, propose and vote on would-be members before leaving final say to the Board of Governors.

Oscar nominees, if not already a part of the Academy, are automatically considered, though not necessarily invited to join.

New members will be inducted into the Academy at an invitation-only reception Sept. 21.

Lohan: Herbie ran over my foot (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8345435/)
‘Car just didn’t stop’ during a shoot for music video
The Associated Press

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/lawyerlee2/LiLoTRL1.jpg

LOS ANGELES - Lindsay Lohan had a little run-in with Herbie, her Love Bug co-star in the new film, “Herbie: Fully Loaded.”

Lohan plays Maggie Peyton, the new owner of No. 53, the freewheeling Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own. She puts the car through its paces on the road to becoming a NASCAR competitor.

When she shot the music video for her song “First” with Herbie, “the car just didn’t stop,” Lohan recently told reporters, according to AP Radio.

“The door flung open and hit me in the video and I kind of looked at Herbie and had to turn down the other way and then I felt the car rolling and not stopping.”

Lohan says Herbie ran over her foot.

The 18-year-old actress said she didn’t know much about Herbie’s first movie, 1969’s “The Love Bug,” which starred Dean Jones, Michele Lee and Buddy Hackett.

“I had known of Herbie but I hadn’t seen the movie. And I didn’t want to watch it before I started ’cause I didn’t want to have the pressure like I’d put on myself when I did ‘Freaky Friday’ of living up to the expectations that people might have of the original. And so I watched it in the middle of the movie.”

Lohan’s screen credits also include “The Parent Trap” and “Mean Girls.”

Tip about cops' role is B.I.G. jolt (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/322378p-275630c.html) NY Post

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/lawyerlee2/Biggie.jpg

LOS ANGELES - A federal judge yesterday shut down the Notorious B.I.G. wrongful-death trial so lawyers can probe a new bombshell tip that two corrupt cops allegedly confessed to the rapper's murder and the LAPD buried the information.

B.I.G.'s family's lawyer, Perry Sanders, said the shocker came Thursday night from a telephone tipster, possibly a current or former Los Angeles Police Department officer.

The caller said he attended a police disciplinary hearing Dec.11, 2000, when two jailhouse snitches revealed "they had information regarding confessions to this homicide" by jailed crooked cops David Mack and Rafael Perez, Sanders said.

The tipster, who gave his name only as Frank, said the informants "were advised to stop" discussing the alleged confessions and the matter was hushed up, Sanders said.

Mack is currently in prison for bank robbery and Perez is doing time for his role in Los Angeles' Rampart police corruption scandal.

The identities of the informants, who reportedly were jailed with Perez, were not revealed, and it is unknown whether any of what they said is true.

Police disciplinary hearings are taped or transcribed by a court reporter, so the judge ordered city lawyers to dig up the records, share them with B.I.G.'s family's lawyers and report back Monday.

B.I.G. - or Biggie Smalls - was born Christopher Wallace in Brooklyn.

He was shot dead March 9, 1997, six months after West Coast rival rapper Tupac Shakur was killed. B.I.G.'s family is suing the City of Los Angeles and the LAPD, claiming Mack, acting as an agent of Marion (Suge) Knight's Death Row Records, killed the beefy rapper and that the police department covered it up.

Testimony is set to resume Tuesday, unless Judge Florence Cooper orders a further delay.

Miss World Mad At Plastic Surgeon (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/06/24/world/main703964.shtml)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/lawyerlee2/MissWorld.jpg

(AP) The reigning Miss World, Peru's Maria Julia Mantilla, is considering suing her plastic surgeon, claiming that he's stretching the truth about the work he did on her.

"He has said that I'm his product, the product of Peruvian plastic surgery, and says he molded my body, that he removed fat, and everything," the 20-year-old beauty queen told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "He's talking about things he never did."

She said Cesar Morillas, one of Peru's most sought-after plastic surgeons, did give her a nose job and breast augmentation in February 2004. Ten months later, the aspiring high school teacher was crowned Miss World in the southern Chinese beach resort of Sanya.

Mantilla denied that Morillas operated on her ears, chin, eyebrows and lips as was suggested in before-and-after photographs of her profile supplied by the plastic surgeon to the daily newspaper El Mundo in Spain.

"That violates his professional ethics," she said.

Morillas did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.

She added that Morillas had made reference to surgery he never performed in two Peruvian magazines.

Mantilla said she fulfilled the terms of a promotional agreement with Morillas to publicize his clinic in exchange for the plastic surgery but that the contract ran out in April, and he is still "looking for publicity."

"He says I am his greatest accomplishment. In other words, I'm here thanks to everything he did," she said. "I don't believe surgery changed my essence."

EXCLUSIVE: Angie and Pitt look like family
Playing mummy and Braddy
By Gemma Pearse

AS a father figure, Mr Pitt is not half Brad!

The Hollywood star's desire to start a family is said to have been a factor in his split from wife Jennifer Aniston.

And here Angelina Jolie looks on as Brad lovingly teaches her adopted son Maddox, four, to ride a motorbike.

One onlooker near Angelina's home in Gerrards Cross, Bucks, said: "They looked like a complete happy family and Brad seemed to love playing dad." A showbiz insider said: "Maddox is the most precious thing in the world to Angelina. It's obvious she trusts Brad to take care of her son."

Rumours have been rife that Angelina, 30, and Brad, 41, are an item since they co-starred in smash hit movie Mr & Mrs Smith.

But will Brad soon be known as Dad Pitt?



Angelina's boy... out with his mum and Brad

By JAMES TAPPER, Mail on Sunday 09:21am 26th June 2005

It Could be any married couple playing happily with their son.

Star Brad Pitt gives actress Angelina Jolie's four-year-old son Maddox a lesson in dirt-track biking.

Angelina looks on as they romp around the paddock in the sun, surrounded by wild flowers.

This intimate portrait of family life is certain to fuel suggestions that, despite their protestations, Brad and Angelina are romantically involved. Both have furiously denied they have ever been anything other than close colleagues

Brad, 41, spent some time with the son of his Mr And Mrs Smith co-star not far from Angelina's home in Buckinghamshire.

Wearing only shorts, socks and trainers, bleach-blond Brad looked tanned and relaxed - as did Angelina in black trousers, top and flip-flops.

Close bond A close friend of the couple, who was there at the time, said: "The bond that is developing between Brad and Maddox is delightful to see. They spend a lot of time playing together and I'm not sure who enjoys their games more.

"Maddox is so so precious to Angelina. She is a committed mother and it says much about her feelings for Brad that she trusts him so deeply with her son.

"As protective as she is, she's thrilled to see the little boy having such an exciting time. All three are taking time, building a wonderful, loving relationship. Angelina and Brad are generous people, who give so much to others, and their friends wish them all the happiness in the world."

Brad is not the first father figure for Maddox. Angelina, 29, who is twice-divorced, was also linked to actor Colin Farrell when she appeared with him in Alexander.

Rumours that she had moved on began after Brad announced in January that his marriage to Jennifer Aniston was over after nearly five years. Brad was said to be desperate to have children, while his 36-year-old wife was thought to be keen not to interrupt her career soon after the end of Friends. But almost before divorce papers were served, pictures surfaced of them sharing intimate moments while filming Mr And Mrs Smith.

Just two weeks ago Brad snapped angrily when asked if Angelina had broken up his marriage. http://img254.echo.cx/img254/16/file00076cu.jpg

[sarahh]

With perhaps the blackest of moods are certain Desperate Housewives insiders, who report to me, uh, some desperation with the cast. I think you'll find it a surprise, too.

Guess which performer has been so "difficult" with his nine-to-five negotiations, according to some ABC sources, that he was asked not to attend the recent upfronts in New York?

That's right. It's a he (the girliest eyebrows in the Biz if you ask me), Jesse Metcalfe.

"He showed up in New York," relayed a top Desperate source of mine. "He was in a T-shirt and jeans and was asked to leave."

Pray tell, this can't be true! What does the hunky gardener have to say for himself?

"Jesse wasn't even in New York," said J.M.'s flack, who was concerned enough with this item he interrupted his London vacay. "There was never any problem with Jesse and the show."

"Okay, who's fibbing here?" I asked the too kind flack. "More than one D.H. source insists Jesse's been, uh, problematic to deal with. Why would they make that up?"

"I don't know," sighed the publicist. "But it's wildly inaccurate."

We'll see, and prime time sure will tell. I guess we can treat this one like a pregnancy rumor, because the same sources who claim Jesse's been ruffling executive feathers also predict he will be in fewer Desperate episodes come season two. Stay tuned.

And, hell, as long as I've still got that transatlantic call going, I pressed the Metcalfe repper who the real diva is on that show, since his client is supposedly all sweet and chiseled sugar.

"God knows!" he bellowed.

A bloody-good bellow I might add.

Prince Harry is wearing nicotine patches in a desperate attempt to kick his 20-a-day cigarette habit, according to Army sources.

The 20-year-old Prince has been a regular smoker since he started at Eton when he was 15. But the tough officer training regime at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is said to have persuaded him to try to give up.

Sandhurst insiders say Harry has found the physical training at the officer cadet school in Camberley, Surrey, 'very taxing'.

One source said: "Running with a pack on and full kit is very hard work, even for a young chap like Cadet Windsor, who is naturally fit from playing polo and other sports. You need full lung capacity to do well, and smoking fags doesn't help."

Harry is understood to have begun wearing the patches a fortnight ago after his first five weeks at Sandhurst. If he does succeed in quitting, it will please Prince Charles, who is vehemently anti-smoking and has regularly asked his youngest son to stop.

Charles - who has banned anyone from lighting up inside his country home at Highgrove, Gloucestershire - blames cigarettes for the deaths of his aunt Princess Margaret and grandfather King George VI.

Harry's older brother, William, 22, gave up his ten-a-day habit two years ago. And three years ago his stepmother, the Countess of Cornwall, kicked her lifelong 40-a-day addiction, aided by nicotine patches and yoga sessions from an alternative health guru.

Denise and Charlie Making Peace (http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1076489,00.html)

Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen certainly didn't look like a couple about to get divorced. The two, who reunited over the Father's Day weekend to take their 2-week-old daughter, Lola, to visit a family friend in L.A., seemed relaxed, happy and even affectionate.

But don't be fooled: Sources close to the couple tell PEOPLE the cheery weekend outing doesn't mean a reconciliation is in the offing.

Says a Richards insider: "They're trying to get along for the sake of their kids." (The couple also have a second daughter, Sam, 1.) Another source says that despite the breakdown of her marriage, Richards, 34, wants Sheen, 39, to stay involved as a dad.

"She's not trying to take their father away," says the source. "She's always wanted him to be a part of the children's lives."

Meanwhile, Richards is already shedding baby weight, with the help of a nutritionist. "She eats healthy," says an insider. "She consults with a nutritionist and watches what she eats."

Richards also plans on enlisting in a diet delivery program. But no working out for now: She delivered by cesarean section and can't exercise yet. When fully recovered, she'll resume sessions with her longtime trainer Ray Kybartas.

Perfect for `Storms': Rimes eyes rockin' role in Hub flick (http://thetrack.bostonherald.com/moreTrack/view.bg?articleid=91569)

Country queen LeAnn Rimes, who returned to her summer tour last week after a vocal cord injury, may make a move to the movies with a starring role in ``Dixie Storms.''

The flick, written by the Back Bay's Christy Cashman and produced by her Saint Aire Productions, is about a grief-stricken gal from a small Southern Baptist town who finds solace singing the blues in her cousin's juke joint.

``LeAnn loved the script and expressed some interest in doing it,'' said Saint Aire's Laura Bernieri. ``We're going through the process right now.

``I think she got the bug after working on four songs for `Coyote Ugly,' '' she told the Track. ``But, you know, all singers and musicians want to be in the movies.''

Of course they do. Just like actors who like to flex their musical muscles - Russell Crowe, Keanu Reeves, Kevin Bacon, Bruce Willis, blahdee blah blah . . .

In fact, Ground Zero Blues Club, the Mississippi joint where Laura expects to begin filming in mid-October, is owned by ``Batman Begins'' biggie Morgan Freeman.

'Bewitched' Statue Goes Up in Salem

http://cdn.digitalcity.com/entnews/bewitched_statue200x150ap

Bernard Fox and Casey Rogers, co-stars on the sitcom 'Bewitched,' pose in front of the statue.

SALEM, Mass. (June 16) - Welcomed by many - including the mayor and some city councilors - but reviled by others, a statue of 1960s TV icon Samantha Stephens of ''Bewitched'' was unveiled amid a puff of smoke in Salem on Wednesday.

The statue depicts the late actress Elizabeth Montgomery, who played the nose-wiggling Stephens in the 1960s sitcom, sitting sidesaddle on a broomstick, her skirt flying behind her in the breeze, in front of a crescent moon.

Even though hundreds turned out to welcome the statue at Lappin Park, including some people who call themselves witches, others continued to protest.

''I think it's the best thing to happen to Salem in a long time,'' self-described witch Linda Monroe told WHDH-TV. ''It's a long time coming for something so fun and cheery. She's awesome. She's everybody's idol.''

While some Salem officials said the bronze statue, sponsored by the TV Land cable network, is just a bit of fun and will hopefully draw more tourists to the city, others have criticized it, saying it trivializes the real and tragic events that occurred in Salem in 1692, when 20 people were put to death after being accused of witchcraft.

Those people carried signs at Wednesday's event that said ''Tragedy (does not equal) Whimsy'' and ''Is there no limit to the schlock and hype?'' They say the statue is nothing but an ad for the ''Bewitched'' movie, starring Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell, scheduled for release June 24.

The ceremony was attended by show director William Asher, who was married to Montgomery, as well as a number of actors who appeared in the original series, including Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay), Kasey Rogers (Louise Tate) and Erin Murphy (Tabitha Stephens).

The network has placed similar statues of famous sitcom characters around the country, including Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden of ''The Honeymooners'' at the Port Authority in New York and Mary Richards in Minneapolis, where ''The Mary Tyler Moore'' show was set.

Random Gossip

PLAN C: With the marriage of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broken up, so now is their Warner Bros.-based production company, Plan B, said the Hollywood Reporter. At least four Plan B projects currently in development – including The Assassination of Jesse James, starring Pitt, and the soon-to-be-released Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, starring Johnny Depp – will remain at Warners and continue to involve Aniston, her spokesman said. Pitt will begin to develop projects at Paramount. It remains to be seen if Aniston will form her own production company.

HAPPY ENDING: Boy Scout Brennan Hawkins, who was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days, went home on Wednesday. "People say that the heavens are closed and God no longer answers prayers. We're here to unequivocally tell you that prayers are answered and children do come home," Brennan's mother, Jody Hawkins, said Tuesday outside the Primary Children's Medical Center shortly after a sunburned and dehydrated Brennan – who’d just been found – had been taken inside. Brennan, a fifth-grader at Leo J. Muir Elementary School in Bountiful, Utah, went missing near a climbing wall at an 8,500-foot elevation at a camp in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest on the previous Friday. Throughout the intense search, in which thousands of volunteers joined the hunt, Brennan's parents Toby and Jody Hawkins maintained that their son would be found.

LEO FILES: Leonardo DiCaprio filed a report with Los Angeles police, saying that he was attacked with a deadly weapon while attending a party given last week by Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend, Rick Salomon. The Aviator star, 30, contacted LAPD's Hollywood division Monday afternoon to file the complaint. The attacker – said to be a woman – has not been identified. "The incident occurred during the early morning hours of June 17 when Mr. DiCaprio was attending a party at the home of a friend in Hollywood Hills," police said in a statement. "As a result of the assault, Mr. DiCaprio suffered a laceration to the left side of his neck, requiring several sutures. The investigation is ongoing, and no one is in custody at this time."

CRUISE CONTROL: War of the Worlds star Tom Cruise got into a war of words with Today host Matt Lauer over antidepressants and psychiatry in an interview that aired on the NBC morning show Friday. When the host asked Cruise about Brooke Shields, whom Cruise previously slammed for promoting medication to deal with postpartum depression, Cruise called psychiatry a "pseudoscience," and told Lauer he didn't understand the effects of prescribing drugs to cure depression. "The thing that I'm saying about Brooke is that there's misinformation, okay. And she doesn't understand the history of psychiatry. She doesn't understand in the same way that you don't understand it, Matt." Cruise also insisted, "There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance," and said that through "vitamins and exercise" a person's problems can be cured. " The second half of Lauer's interview with the star, who recently got engaged to Batman Begins actress Katie Holmes, is scheduled to air on Monday's Today show.

MELANIE'S LOST DAZE IN STREETS OF TORONTO (http://www.nypost.com/gossip/49045.htm)

SPACEY Melanie Griffith has been in Toronto for the past six weeks, but the other day she was wandering around in a daze like a homeless person trying to find her hotel. Canada's National Post reports Griffith asked a passerby, "Can you tell me how to get to the Windsor Arms?" The stranger repeated the simple directions several times. Griffith finally made it over to Bloor Street, where the hotel is located, but turned the wrong way. By then a small herd of curiosity-seekers were following in her wake, and one was kind enough to call the Windsor Arms. The hotel quickly dispatched someone to lead the actress home, the paper reports. Griffith, who's set to star in a new WB show called "Twins" this fall, is in Toronto while husband Antonio Banderas is filming the musical drama "Take the Lead." "Melanie asked someone for directions to her hotel as she is unfamiliar with the area," her rep told PAGE SIX. "She got back to the hotel on her own - no one had to come pick her up."

Drunken Danes spoil Keira's love-in

27 June 2005

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/lawyerlee2/KeiraGBMF.jpg

SHIVER me timbers! Keira Knightley paid £3,000 for a comfy spot at Glastonbury - and still had to deal with a couple of bladdered yobs.

The 20-year-old Pirates Of The Caribbean beauty had taken her Irish model beau Jamie Dornan to the Somerset site for what was supposed to be a cosy love-in with the occasional band thrown in for good measure.

Instead Keira ended up doing a runner when some boozed-up festival-goers went out of their way to make her life miserable.

Our mole at the exclusive Marks Bar party, which also hosted supermodels Jodie Kidd and Erin O'Connor, tells us: "It was an invitation-only event but somehow these two drunk Danish guys managed to get in.

"Everyone had been having a great night until they arrived and Keira and Jamie were acting more lovey-dovey than ever."

We're told the dopey Danes sat at a table close to the Bend It Like Beckham babe and started flashing their torches in her eyes. Our informer goes on: "For some reason they picked on Keira and seemed hell-bent on getting a reaction. They were taking the p*** out of her voice and being extremely loud and annoying."

Keira, who had been slumming it in a luxury camper van at Somerset's Windinglake Farm, turned up with her hunky boyfriend at about 11pm.

The pair snuggled up together on the chairs outside before joining pals to celebrate a birthday. But the two yobs caught sight of the Teddington-born star, and when a table near to her became available they moved in.

We're told: "Keira smiled and tolerated them at first, but when they talked so loudly over her conversation, she started looking daggers at them.

"After the torch shining incident and the rude way they were teasing her about her posh voice it all got too much".

Poor Keira then insisted Jamie and her pals leave the party immediately - and took them off to a soiree at swanky new bar Hey Joe. But the the not-so-great Danes were in hot pursuit...

"Soon after she arrived the guys who'd upset her so much at the first party pitched up. They went to sit opposite her but Keira wasn't having any of it," we're told.

"She could probably sense a confrontation brewing so she grabbed Jamie and left. She made the best of the rest of the weekend - but this definitely put a dampener on things."

That and the flood ...

Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander shows his newborn second daughter after his Argentine wife Princess Maxima gave birth at the Bronovo hospital in The Hague, Sunday, June 26, 2005. The new princess, whose name has not yet been chosen, becomes third in line to Queen Beatrix's throne after her father and her sister, Princess Catharina-Amalia.

Princess Maxima, the wife of Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, gave birth Sunday to a healthy baby daughter, the Royal House said in a statement.

The new princess, whose name has not yet been chosen, becomes third in line to Queen Beatrix's throne after her father and her sister, Princess Catharina-Amalia, who was born on Dec. 7, 2003.

Maxima was in good spirits and gave birth in less than six hours of her arrival at the Bronovo hospital.

"I'm proud of my wife, who again did an excellent job," a beaming Willem-Alexander told reporters.

The newborn, which weighed 3.4 kilograms (7.69 pounds), was presented to the Dutch people on live television after an address by Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende.

Maxima, an Argentinean, has quickly become one of the most popular members of the Dutch royal house since she married Willem-Alexander in February 2002.

An huge annual fireworks display is expected to get a fundraising boost from Grammy-winning rapper Eminem. Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, grew up in the Detroit area and lives in suburban Rochester Hills.

"The fireworks are a big part of summertime in Detroit, and I want to support them and the mayor," the rapper said in a statement. "I've come downtown to watch them since I was a kid, and I'll get involved in something that helps the city any way I can."

This year's fireworks had been threatened by a budget dispute. Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick initially threatened to cancel the show, saying budget cuts prevented adequate police presence, but later retracted that threat.

Eminem agreed to perform one song to open a fundraising party on Wednesday after Kilpatrick sought his support for the event, organizers said. About 2,000 tickets are expected to be sold for the $175-a-ticket party, organizers said.

With Bella, she likes Gwen Stefani 'Hollaback Girl' ("We like this song because Gwen rocks! She wears really great clothes and can dance! Her whole record is great!") and Black Eyed Peas 'Don't Phunk with My Heart' ("We love Fergie. She is so pretty and dances amazing. The video is funny too.")

Actress denies reports of upcoming wedding to ‘Garage’ star

To wed or not to wed? That is the question.

And currently, that is the question surrounding actress Sandra Bullock, 40, and her beau — "Monster Garage" stud Jesse James, 35.

The cover of the new Us Weekly boasts a picture of Bullock with the words "Sandra's Surprise Wedding," and suggests the two are ready to tie the knot after dating for a little over a year.

However, in a statement released to Access Hollywood, a spokesperson for Bullock says the reports of the impending nuptials are "absolutely not true" and that Sandra has no plans to get married.

The article even goes as far as to give the date and place of the wedding — July 16 in Santa Barbara, California.

Additionally, Us reports that Sandra's sister visited a Los Angeles bakery to commission them to make the wedding cake.

But the real story?

Sandra's sister is a pastry chef and visited the bakers to inquire about renting a space to open up her own business.

Some of Bullock's past romances have included actors Tate Donovan, Ryan Gosling and Matthew McConaughey. James was married to adult film star Janine Lindemulder from 2002-2004.

Sandra and Jesse met in December 2003.

Group leaves door open for reunion: 'We're still very young, and it's not smart to say 'never,' Beyoncé says.

Fans might have been surprised when Destiny's Child announced last week that they're splitting after their U.S. tour — but the girls say that the news was something they had planned even as they were making their fifth and final album. "It's not a coincidence that the album is called Destiny Fulfilled," Beyoncé Knowles revealed.

Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams talked about the different directions they wanted to take with their various solo projects — musical and otherwise — while they were in the studio, and realized that they could never really pursue those interests and remain a group, too. "What if something comes up and it falls right on a tour date?" Rowland pointed out. So they ultimately came to the decision that if they were to break up, they should do it while they were on top — and more importantly, while they were still friends (see "Destiny's Child Announce Split").

"It's not our last record because one of us wants to go solo, or because we don't get along or because we don't like each other anymore, or because of cattiness," Knowles said. "It's because it's the end of this chapter in our lives. We've been doing this for 14 years now, and our destinies have been fulfilled."

"All great things come to an end," Rowland added. "Destiny's Child is more than just us being on stage or in the studio. We genuinely love each other and I'm going to see their kids, and their kids' kids, and they're going to see my kids. I love these girls."

While they don't have any immediate plans to collaborate, they hope to continue working together in new guises — such as popping up on each other's solo albums, or starring in a Broadway play together.

For now, though, Williams will be heard singing a remake of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" in Gap's new fall ads, and hopes to eventually open a day spa and do a bath-and-body product line. Rowland, who's showcasing her indie romantic comedy "The Seat Filler" on select dates of the DC tour, wants to audition for more acting roles. And Knowles, who will record a soundtrack single for her "Pink Panther" film in the fall, said she plans to start rehearsing in December for her role as Deena in the big-screen remake of the musical "Dreamgirls," which will shoot from January through April.

"I've been dreaming about this role," she said. "I can't even talk about it, I'm so excited. Finally, I have a role that has so many layers — it's dramatic, it's funny, I play her young, I play her older. You see the journey of her growing up, and it's really emotional. It's perfect. It's a real part. I get to act, and I don't think I've ever really done that yet." In the meantime, there will be more Destiny's Child via a live DVD they plan to film on the Atlanta stop of the tour, and a best-of album is in the works.

As for a possible reunion down the road, Beyoncé said, "Who knows? We're still very young, and it's not smart to say 'never.' It's not the end."

Angie Harmon, Jason Sehorn Welcome Baby[/b] (]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/lawyerlee2/Celebrities%201/AngieHarmonJSehorn.jpg[/IMG]

Former Law & Order star Angie Harmon has given birth to her second child – and it's another girl, her spokesman tells the Associated Press.

Harmon and her husband, former New York Giants football star Jason Sehorn, welcomed Avery Grace Sehorn on Wednesday in her hometown of Dallas, publicist Troy Nankin says. The pair already have a 20-month-old daughter, Finley Faith.

Nankin says Harmon, Sehorn and their daughters will spend the rest of the summer in Harmon's hometown of Dallas before returning to Los Angeles in the fall.

Harmon, 32, and Sehorn, 34, were married in Texas in June 2001, a year after Sehorn proposed to the actress on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Harmon's next movie role is with Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni in a remake of the 1977 film Fun with Dick and Jane.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey are busy making sweet music – in the studio, that is. The Newlyweds are both working on albums and they're ready "to step out and really make an impact on the music scene once again," says Lachey.

Simpson (who'll make her big-screen debut in The Dukes of Hazzard, out Aug. 5) is happy about being in control of her as-yet-untitled follow-up to In This Skin. "I'm kind of at the point now, where I can say, 'I’ll make a record or I won’t,' " she says. "If you want me to, I’m going to do it my way." What to expect from her new album? "A lot of old music turned modern." (Hmm ...)

Meanwhile, Lachey has MTV's cameras following him around to document the making of his new album for an upcoming reality show titled The Nick Lachey Project. "It's my most honest album so far," he says. "It's a chance for me to really say what I want to say. Last time I didn't really get a chance to express myself, and this time I feel like I do."

Vince Vaughn is back in his old stamping ground and loving every minute of it. The Chicago native (he grew up in suburban Lake Forest) has been hitting the party scene while in town to film The Break Up with Jennifer Aniston. At Rockit Bar and Grill, groups of girls swarmed him by the upstairs pool tables. Then, the following day, he wandered around the Taste of Randolph Street – a summertime festival – with friends. The laid-back actor, who wore beat-up Puma sneakers and old basketball shorts, warmly greeted the fans who came up to him as he made his way through the fair.

Meanwhile, Aniston has been busy granting wishes during her stay in Chicago. When fan Teresa Crudele made her way onto the set and asked the actress for a birthday hug (she turned 18 that day), Aniston "didn't even hesitate at all," says Crudele. "She said, 'Come over here' and then gave me the biggest hug. It was perfect – I couldn't have asked for a better birthday!"

Rapper Lil Jon wants no more of TVT (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/322981p-275895c.html)

http://www.the411online.com/bet2003a/P6240308.jpg

Prominent rapper Lil Jon is seeking to sever ties with his label, TVT Records, the Daily News has learned.

The king of crunk will no longer promote any singles from his current multiplatinum album, "Crunk Juice," sources said.

He's told associates he will not record another CD for TVT.

"He's unhappy," a source said. "It's about money."

TVT president Steve Gottlieb told the Daily News, "Lil Jon and TVT have had huge success building the crunk movement together and we fully expect to enjoy even greater success in the future."

A former Atlanta club deejay, platinum and diamond-toothed Lil Jon is one of TVT's most prominent acts and has helped make TVT the country's biggest independent record label.

He pioneered the highly popular crunk music genre, a loud, raunchy form of southern hip hop, and has collaborated with stars like Usher and the Ying Yang Twins, another act on TVT's roster.

The word crunk comes from a mix of crazy and drunk.

Lately Lil Jon has been producing records for Trillville and Lil Scrappy, two acts signed to his own label, BME Records, which is distributed by Warner Bros. Records.

Lil Jon is the second chart-topping artist in a matter of months to attempt to leave a label.

In May, superstar rock band Linkin Park said it wanted out of its Warner Music deal and is refusing to deliver its next album.

TVT recently suffered a big legal setback when an appeals court reversed a judge's ruling that would have forced a rival, Island Def Jam, and one of its former execs, Lyor Cohen, to pay it $53 million. TVT will now receive just $126,720.

In its high-profile case against Def Jam, TVT charged the label and Cohen with reneging on a deal to allow a Def Jam artist, Ja Rule, to perform on a TVT album.

TVT said it would appeal the appellate court's decision.

"Madonna has not seen the '20/20' show," her rep, Liz Rosenberg, tells PAGE SIX. "She is not actively involved with the financial aspects of the Kabbalah Centres, aside from her donating money over the years — primarily to the Spirituality for Kids Foundation." We're told the controversy has attracted the notice of the IRS, which is planning to investigate the Kabbalah Centres' tax-exempt status.

Jack is hot to plot film's sex scenes (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/320880p-274406c.html)

Martin Scorsese doesn't let every actor rewrite his movies - but then, not every actor brings so much life experience to a role as Jack Nicholson.

Word is the two-time Oscar-winner has been tinkering with the script for Scorsese's "The Departed" - including the sex scenes.

"Jack didn't feel there was enough Jack in his character," a spy tells us.

So Nicholson, who plays a Boston Irish gangster named Costello, called for a polish to William Monahan's script.

"Jack actually did some of the writing himself," says our spy.

But we're told it wasn't a pen he used for revising a scene in which he gets busy with two women.

"Jack suggested using a [prosthetic appendage]," adds the source. "He also wanted to dust the [posterior] of one of the actresses with cocaine. Marty said, 'Go for it!'"

A Warner Bros. rep would say only, "It's not at all uncommon for dialogue to be fine-tuned during production. Everyone is extremely pleased with the way this shoot is proceeding."

Nicholson is in Massachusetts, where he just got together in Hyannis Port with Sen. Ted Kennedy.

In discussing a story about Jack Nicholson’s “rewriting” of a sex scene in The Departed to include a “prosthetic appendage” and the dusting of an actress’s posterior with cocaine, we inadequately identified the appendage as a “dildo.” These pictures from a Dutch magazine (and posted at Twitch (http://www.twitchfilm.net/archives/002472.html)) clearly demonstrate that the appendage might be more accurately described as a “strap-on.” We apologize for our failure to fully recognize Mr. Nicholson’s inventiveness and dedication to craft.

We turned around and it was Naomi Watts from The Ring movies having a screaming match on her cell phone. She looks cute but was obviously on the brink of a meltdown. I guess she realized she was creating a scene because she turned around quickly and disappeared around the block.

Yesterday (june 23rd) I was in one of those little bohemian boutiques that I can’t really afford to buy anything in and in walks Naomi Watts looking a little spaced out. She was talking to the sales girl about having to buy clothes for a trip to an ashram. The sales girl was helping her (this is a very tiny store) and suddenly Watts just snapped and started yelling at her, saying that if she couldn’t get what she wanted she would go someplace else. Then she grabbed the clothes that the girl was holding, threw them on the floor, and stormed out. The rest of us in the store just stood in disbelief.

http://www.radaronline.com/fresh-intelligence/hilton3_inside.jpg

Vanity Fair staffers under the impression that they work for a high-minded publication are steamed over editor Graydon Carter’s reported choice of Paris Hilton for the September issue’s cover, we hear. “Graydon is obsessed—obsessed—with her and has been dying to put her on the cover for a long time,” says one Hollywood insider.

But top editors at the glossy—many of whom wanted Beyoncé for the coveted slot—feel Hilton isn’t VF cover material, and certainly not worthy of a fawning 5,000-word profile. A source who has seen a mock-up of the Hilton cover complains that “it makes Vanity Fair look like FHM” (or, even—gulp—Radar?).

“You can only print ‘That’s Hot’ so many times,” complains the source. Carter, who’s besotted with the porn-star-turned-fast-food-pitchwoman, couldn’t care less. “He invites her to the Oscar party every year and just nuzzles up to her,” the source notes. “He doesn’t care about Julia Roberts or Cameron Diaz—he thinks Paris is the fluffy epitome of what VF is all about. Graydon also loves the fact that she’s a skank and isn’t embarrassed about it.” Write what you know!

NEW YORK-June 27, 2005 — Oprah's dispute with Hermes has cost the ritzy store in Paris at least $6,000 already.

Oprah's best friend Gayle King tell "The Insider" that Winfrey has canceled an order for a Birkin bag. Birkin is the handmade bag that Hermes is famous for.

A basic version costs about $6,000.

King says Oprah had bought a dozen of the bags for friends over the years, but she'll never shop at the store again because it wouldn't let her in after hours to buy a watch for Tina Turner.

King says Oprah "is not angry, she's not mad, she's really OK."

Notes from all over (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8133771/)

Jack White is a fan of his own music. Techno musician Moby says that he got into a London hotel room late one recent night and “suddenly my walls started shaking ‘cause my neighbor was listening to the new White Stripes CD very, very loud. . . . Now, here’s the funny part: it turns out that my neighbor is Jack White and he was listening to his own CD (which makes sense to me, as it’s a good record).” . . . Those National Guard troops who looked after Saddam Hussein got a thrill when they met Lindsay Lohan and Kirsten Dunst. “They were staying at a chic hotel in Los Angeles to do the TV shows, and met them,” says a source. “They were saying, ‘Meeting Saddam was nothing compared to this.’” . . . Usher is not a fan of the show “I Want a Famous Face.” “Acne was one of the hardest things I dealt with in high school. I still deal with it. But you have to learn to love who you are instead of trying to change everything,” the singer told CosmoGirl. “That show on MTV where people get made over to look like celebrities is the worst show I’ve ever seen! It’s building an America without self-confidence. Learn to enjoy your own personal beauty. You might have a big nose, but so what? It’s your nose.”

Oscar-nominated actor Jude Law has cemented his status as a theatre supporter, donning a hard hat for the topping out ceremony of the newly rebuilt Young Vic.

Jude, who got his first taste of show biz watching plays there as a child, is known to be fond of the renowned theatre. The high-paid Hollywood star performed in the 1999 Young Vic production of Tis Pity She's A Whore and 2002's Doctor Faustus, taking home under £300 a week.

Thursday's appearance with actress Helen McCrory atop the new building is just his latest effort to focus the spotlight on the theatre. As its Campaign Patron, he has championed fundraising for the project since early 2004.

The West End theatre's world famous auditorium has been left intact by the refurbishment, but virtually every other aspect of the hall has been replaced. The "old" Young Vic, built in 1969, was intended as a temporary venue with just a five-year life span.

By Sarah Hall

After former American Idol contestant Corey Clark went public with his claim that he had an affair with Paula Abdul--complete with TV interviews, tell-all book and confessional album--it appeared unlikely that he could sink any lower in his quest for headlines.

However, as we all know, appearances can be deceiving.

The "Paulatics" singer was cited on a misdemeanor battery charge Saturday after getting into an alleged food fight with his record company manager over breakfast in a Sacramento hotel room.

According to police, Clark, 24, and Laura Kathleen Troy, 34, were discussing an incident from Clark's Friday night concert in West Sacramento, when the conversation escalated into a flatware-hurling free-for-all that was loud enough to spur other hotel guests into calling the police.

Both Clark and Troy suffered scratches in the breakfast brawl, though police said the injuries did not seem serious. No word on what manner of foodstuffs were thrown.

Clark was ordered to appear in Sacramento County Superior Court on July 22 to face the music over the food fight.

Troy was reportedly uncooperative and did not want to press charges against the ex-Idol contestant, but police said it is standard practice to cite and release those charged with misdemeanor battery.

Though an initial report in the Sacramento Bee referred to Troy as Clark's girlfriend, police said there was no indication that the twosome were romantically involved. They had booked separate rooms in the hotel and were simply dining together when the fight broke out.[/quote]

Corey is definately a piece of work.

LOL. I live righ outside Sac and I didn't hear anything about his concert. West Sacramento isn't even actually in the same county as Sacramento. It must have been a pretty small show.

[Camdynlyn]

I don't know why I thought some other celeb named their child Avery Grace. I JUST heard that name from somewhere and it wasn't her. :confused:

[southerner]

oh shit! Corey Clark counts as a celebrity now :eek:

Looks like everyone's favorite brat is getting married!!!Lavigne Said Engaged to Sum 41 Frontman

LOS ANGELES - Canadian singer Avril Lavigne is reportedly marrying a fellow songsmith.

Us Weekly says the 20-year-old is engaged to marry Deryck Whibley, the frontman for the punk-pop group Sum 41.

Lavigne, 20, began dating the 25-year-old musician in early 2004. They had been friends for several years before that, the magazine said.

Whibley and Lavigne both hail from the same province in Canada — Ontario — and reportedly bought a home together in Los Angeles last year.

Us Weekly reported that Whibley proposed over the weekend while Lavigne was finishing up the European leg of her tour. Publicists for both musicians confirmed the engagement to the magazine.

I thought Avril was already engaged to him. She seems so immature.

I thought Avril was already engaged to him. She seems so immature.There were rumors several months ago that they were engaged but they turned out to be false. However, it's true this time as publicists for both did confirm the engagement.

Jessica and Nick: Breakup Rumor #792

There's good news and bad news for Jessica Simpson. The good news is women covet her luscious locks (more on that later). The bad news? The tabloids continue to insist her marriage to Nick Lachey is on the brink of implosion, despite the couple's repeated denials.

According to the New York Post, Nick nixed a planned shindig to celebrate the launch of his new MTV reality show -- the oh-so cleverly titled "The Nick Lachey Project" -- because of "marital issues."

"Not that it's shocking to anyone, but there's major trouble in paradise," a source tattles to the paper ("paradise," by the mole's definition, is apparently a place filled with constantly hovering TV cameras, paparazzi and creepy family members).

Another source adds that a split won't happen anytime soon because of the "Newlyweds'" business obligations. "If Nick and Jessica were to get divorced, it would be after their next ABC special in the fall," the spy explains to the Post. "Contractually, they have to do the special and they are both professionals."

Simpson's rep, however, brushes off the alleged marital woes, denying the couple's three-year-old union is in trouble, an assertion backed up by a report in the latest Us Weekly, which reports they now "seem happier than ever."

The magazine says that on June 18, Nick, 31, and Jessica, 24, arrived at an L.A. club smiling and holding hands. "[They] kissed, and she was rubbing his arm a lot," an onlooker recalls. "They looked happy." Three days later, however, Simpson hit a local hotspot solo, once again touching off whispers of domestic discord.

Meanwhile, the Palm Beach Post reports Simpson arrived in Florida sans Nick on Thursday to begin recording the follow-up to her album, "In This Skin."

Jessica recently told People the new record will include "a lot of old music turned modern," which we're guessing means more ear-splitting remakes a la "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."

And finally, Simpson's constantly changing coif is the envy of In Touch readers, who took time out of their busy lives to vote her trademark blond tresses the most-wanted celebrity hairstyle.

"I feel that chopping my hair off gave me more of a free spirit," the "Dukes of Hazzard" bombshell tells the mag. "But I still think big Texas, Southern hair is amazing." Mrs. Lachey beat out Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie and Eva Longoria to take the top hair honors.

June 28, 2005 -- COULD there be a little bundle of Jolie on the way? Hollywood insiders are buzzing over whether blockbuster Tinseltown couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are expecting a baby from their high-profile fling. "She's just in her first trimester," one well- placed industry source told The Post's Braden Keil in the Hamp tons over the weekend. "Obviously, they're keeping everything very quiet." Jolie's spokesman, Geyer Kosinski, did not return numerous calls and e-mail inquir ies yesterday. Meanwhile, Star magazine speculates the next step in the couple's blissful relation ship "might not be so easy to hide." Jolie said in 2002 that she preferred adoption when she and then-hubby Billy Bob Thornton adopted Cambo dian infant Maddox, now 3. "Angelina is very giving," a source told Star. "If she thinks it will make Brad happy, she probably won't hesi tate." In the latest W magazine, Pitt is photographed with Jolie in a 60-page lay out of cozy 1960s-style family shots.

I think it's because he's wearing those horrible platform shoes. Is he really short or is she really tall? :D

[mindy]

I think the jeans look horrible I didn't even recognize her in the picture she looks nice.

[Lisa&Jason]

Subscribing.. I'm addicted to celebrity gossip. I could SWEAR I was a celebrity in my former life.. since somehow I'm nowhere close in this lifetime. LOL!

[Sare79]

Is he really short or is she really tall? :D

He is very short. Like 5'4, I think. But so is she. I think she's wearing heels in that pic- becaue normally she is shorter than him.

Barf at Avril. :p


Jay-Z rattles off list for diapered yet dapper set (http://nydailynews.com/news/gossip/v-echo/story/323091p-276194c.html)

Jay-Z, the rapper-turned-record exec, has a well-deserved reputation for being a clothes horse. But has he become such a fashion tyrant that he's dictating dress codes for babies?

Over the weekend, the stylish Def Jam Recordings CEO, aka Shawn Carter, was shopping for an 8-month-old boy - apparently girlfriend Beyoncé Knowles' nephew - in the Ralph Lauren Baby store on the upper East Side.

According to a Lowdown spy, Jay-Z and Beyoncé asked a saleswoman to bring out two tiny pairs of shoes - one pair a cream suede laceup affair and the other brown and white bucks - for little Daniel Smith, son of Beyoncé's younger sister Solange.

Jay-Z suddenly stopped fiddling with his BlackBerry and pointed to the suede footwear.

"Too casual!" he declared, shaking his head.

They bought the bucks.

Says the spy: "Picking out a [shoe] for a friend's baby to throw up on! I bit my lip not to laugh. God forbid a baby in his cream suede laceups not match the vibe of the chauffeured Maybach."

The glam duo stayed for another 15 minutes picking out other little boys' clothes, and made the last-minute addition of a white-and-pink seersucker shirt.

But Beyoncé kept it real by paying for her $426 purchase with cold, hard cash.
