Old Hollywood Blind Item
*WHAT we have here is an actress who was definitely considered A list at the height of her fame. Academy Award nominated and in one of the most popular films of all time. Has a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Married to a director who, although, not as big as his actress wife, still happened to direct one of the most famous films of all time. Our director had been previously married and had children from that marriage. One of those children was a son. Well things happen as they say and the step mom actress and her step son just could not control what happened and eventually wound up in bed together. One day, the dad/husband/director came home to find his son and his wife having, umm relations. Well it turns out that the wife during the course of this marriage had children both from her director husband and also from her stepson.

Balthazar out of Brotehrs&Sisters?
As they say…cheaters never prosper!
Brothers & Sisters' star Balthazar Getty might be getting the boot from the ABC show.
Considered the most "disposable" of the siblings, Getty's appearances may be reduced from full-time to recurring guest star limbo.
While officially, they'd probably like us to believe that the reasons are financial, sources have also said that Getty's douchebaggery have alienated his fellow castmates, who are quite attached to his wife Rosetta and their little ones. Balty's also seem to got a case of the Lindsay Lohan - showing up late for work and becoming increasingly difficult to work with.
They won't kill him off, though - that's too morbid. His character might just move away and show up "for the occasional disastrous dinner party."

Dirty little Nicole
It's always interesting to find out what celebs do in their private lives.
And now, thanks to a former bodyguard, we now know what Nicole Richie likes to do to keep her man happy.
It seems Miss Richie is a fan of sending sexy and naughty text messages to Joel Madden. She likes to send him all her bedroom fantasies when they're not with each other.
Her former bodyguard has said, "She is a pistol who says exactly what is on her mind. When she is not with Joel, she is constantly sending sexy text messages, telling him what she is wearing and what she wants to do with him when she gets home."

*WHICH frisky royal ditched his own party to have sex on a nearby yacht? The playboy snuck off with a bombshell, leaving his security staff looking all over for him.
*THIS former hugely popular B list television star and now really in absolutely nothing happens to be married with child/ren. She has been in this space before. She has never had what one would describe as a quiet sex life despite what her image was when she was younger. Well at this point it is getting out of hand. Seems that she and her husband have always done swinging in a very exclusive club where anonymity is guaranteed. But now, she is branching out and with that branching she is losing some of her anonymity. In fact she is seriously looking for work because of a situation she got herself into about six months ago that involved several men at once. One of them threatened to expose it all and she has had to pay hush money since. She would turn the guy into the cops for extortion but feels the aftermath would be more than any attempt at a comeback could take. Meanwhile she needs to make money to keep paying out all the hush money.

Robert Pattinson Defends Heath ledger
According to a witness at the No on H8 show at The Improv in Hollywood on December 16,
Twilight star Robert Pattinson, 22, booed a comic who said, "Here's my impression of Heath Ledger," then collapsed and began faking convulsions.
"Robert and his friend went nuts yelling at him," the source says "The comic didn't knowwho it was, but I'm sure he found out later!"
Pattinson screamed, "F--k you! You suck!" says a witness.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to be divorced by February
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony may have renewed their wedding vows a mere three months ago, but their rocky romance will likely bite the dust right after Valentine’s Day, says an insider.
“Marc and Jennifer are planning on announcing their divorce right after Marc’s show at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 14,” a friend of the couple tells us. “Jennifer is planning on joining Marc onstage for a surprise duet. Things haven’t been right for a while now, and they thought it would be a bittersweet farewell.”
Definitely one for theatrics in arenas, J.Lo confessed her pregnancy at a sold-out show in Miami during her
El Cantante tour in November 2007 and will employ the same shock value a second time around.
“They’re definitely planning a clean break in February,” the source insists.
The couple, who have been married just over four years and are the parents of 10-month-old twins Max and Esme, renewed their vows in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony back in October, but sources close to the pair say that it didn’t help, and that their relationship has been on a downward spiral in recent months. Lopez, 39, set tongues wagging when she arrived at
|The Curious Case of Benjamin Button premiere in early December without her wedding or engagement rings.
Similarly, Marc, 40, has been spotted ditching his own wedding band at N.Y.C. hot spots such as Bungalow 8. He was also caught partying — bandless — with pal Eva Longoria Parker at Lavo in Las Vegas on Dec. 8.
“They were there along with Russell Crowe and his brother Bigram [Zayas]. Marc had been needing to blow off some steam for a while, and this was a good chance to do it. He was trying to be on his best behavior because there were photographers around, so he didn’t get too crazy, but he had fun without Jennifer,” a spy tells us. “Marc’s ready to move on. The fighting has been too much for him to handle lately.”
A rep for Anthony would only say that “none of the rumors are true”; a rep for Lopez didn’t respond.

Promises denies
In response to
reports that Promises rehab facility in Malibu had essentially invited Tara Reid to come be a walking advertisement for the facility, the center is denying any such silliness.
They'd like you to know that:
"While Promises will not comment on any specific individual, Promises would like to clarify the integrity of our policy:
1) Promises is committed to keeping the identity of clients private to the best of our ability. Promises does not comments on its fees.
2) ALL client belongings are searched, as are ALL incoming packages. Rooms are subject to search at random.
3) ALL clients are treated the same and expected to follow the same set of rules with no exceptions.
Any suggestion that Promises is in any financial trouble whatsoever is patently untrue.
The suggestion that Promises would search Hollywood for a celebrity who needs rehab in an effort to garner publicity is libelous, offensive and without any basis in reality.
Promises has demanded a retraction from Star, and the story is in the process of being removed from their website. Promises is extremely disappointed that the editors at Star did not attempt to contact Promises either for comment or to fact check their story.
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, over 100,000 Americans die each year as the result of Drug and Alcohol abuse. Promises remains committed to its mission of helping people and their families overcome drug and alcohol dependence."
We still think Terror is just trying to give her career the Lohan boost.
Look what good it did her!

rehab is free for tara reid
After years of stumbling out of parties and events, Tara Reid checked herself into
rehab a few weeks ago.
Why now?
Sure, she wants to save her faltering career. But a source revealed that the
American Pie babe got an offer she couldn't refuse — a free ride at Promises treatment center in Malibu!
"Enrollment is down due to the bad economy, so in an effort to drum up publicity, they asked around Hollywood to see who wanted to stay there for free," says a source.
Promises, which costs about $1,600 a night and has treated such celebs as Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, is giving Tara the VIP treatment. The 33-year-old gets to stay in a large room, and
her incoming packages are not searched, like other guests'.

Chuck Bass is starstruck by David Beckham
Ed Westwick was left red-faced after meeting David Beckahm in a bathroom - because he was too starstruck to speak to the soccer ace.
The British actor, 21, grew up watching Beckham play for U.K. soccer giant Manchester United, and idolised the star throughout his teens. But when he finally got the chance to meet his hero, Westwick ran the other way.
He reveals: "I was at this ball in New York that was so grand David Bowie was sitting at the next table and shook hands with George Clooney.
"Then I went to the toilet and there was David Beckham. I couldn't say anything, I just ran out. A friend tried to persuade me to say, 'Hello,' but I couldn't do it. It was ridiculous.
"But I had a Beckham shirt when I was a kid and he was the one I watched growing up."
And despite his best efforts, Westwick admits he still can't bring himself to approach the sports star. He adds, "There have been a couple of times now that I've been in the same room as him, but I just can't go up to him. I can't do it."

*WHICH celebrity is torn between her long-term lover and the British gangster actor she's having a hot fling with?
*WHICH actor is completely confusing Santa this time of year? She made contributions to several charities during this holiday season. Sounds generous, right? Except that she then sent notes to her staff telling them that in lieu of a holiday bonus, that donations had been made in their names to a charity (no, it wasn’t The Human Fund!). Naughty or nice?
*SO, I changed my mind about a blind item. This celebutard has a world of positive publicity right now from every corner of the earth. Know the quickest way to lose it? By dating a married woman. Sure, the woman is a B- film actress but her ticket to A list will die quickly if this scandal hits. Do you know who she is? Maybe. But she has been, and is going to be in some of the biggest movies of the year. You would definitely recognize her face. Our celebutard has serious A+ name recognition right now. Oh, and she is considered a newlywed by any definition which makes this extra juicy, extra scandalous, and extra career threatening.

Michael Lohan: "Sam is a Drug"
Michael Lohan makes another public attack at Samantha Ronson
Samantha Ronson A "DRUG" As for the "addictive relationship", as I said before, beside being a user and supplier, Sam IS a drug! Just like a drug she is controlling! Can you imagine Lindsay NOT coming home for Christmas! I can't! She never did this before.
And even if she has an issue with me over Sam, how about her brothers and sisters!
The thing is, Ali, Cody, Michael and even Dina know what Sam is all about and what a negative influence she is on Lindsay and they tell me so. I even have Dina and Lindsay's "assistant" saying so on tape! Unfortunately, everyone wants to stay on Lindsay's good side because of her "celebrity" rather than being honest and upstanding! maybe that's why Dina's life is in the pits and such a mess! Maybe if she would finally do the right thing as a parent, and get on the same page with me, things would change for all our children.
Again, the minute Sam is out of Lindsay's life, you will see Lindsay change for the better and be back where God put her in the first place and where he wants her to be. Until then don't expect any "great deeds" or work from Lindsay until; Sam is gone!

"My mates are in a totally different place," she added. "I've grown up so much and they are still all into going out dancing and taking drugs.
"I hang out with much older people. I go for dinners at posh places and talk about art."
Lily - who suffered a miscarriage earlier this year - also says she dreams of starting a family.

What really happened was captured on tape by a security camera of the actor, two ladies, and a lot of um let’s say marital aids of all varieties. When one of the ladies let it ‘slip’ after the encounter that it was all recorded on security camera the actor demanded the tape from the club owner. After several phone calls and exchanges of all sorts the actor left with tape in hand. But what the actor didn’t know was that the club had made several copies before the actor even knew it existed and he was just one of several actors caught in the same scam at the exclusive anything goes club. The whereabouts of the other tapes are unknown but I’m sure wherever they are, they came at a high price.

Mike Lohan Online.com
Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael Lohan, purportedly launched his own blog titled “The Real Story with Michael Lohan“. His first entry continues to skewer his daughter’s friends, quotes Scripture from the Bible and publicly airs more of his family’s dirty laundry.
Check it“Since this is my FIRST blog, let’s start off on the right foot. Let’s set up some guidelines and rules “to live by” if we are going to participate on this website! First of all, try your best to refrain from cursing, lying or baring [sic] false witness. I know this is hard for some of you, but try.
“What this website will bring to you is the TRUTH! Facts, most of which can and will be cooperated. I know a lot of people like to ‘feed the fire’ and then hide behind a false name, anonymity or represent themselves as a ’source,’ a ‘close friend,’ or an ‘insider.’ But in truth, when it comes down to it, you aren’t fooling anyone but yourselves. Instead of looking from the outside in, you need to be looking within first.
“It’s easy to point fingers and be judgmental. The hard part is looking in the mirror and judging oneself. So please keep these things in mind, before you comment.
“Okay, so here we go… Today, on TMZ, my darling daughter Lindsay was asked for a comment in response to me saying, ‘Samantha is on drugs!’
“Lindsay’s only response was, ‘look at him!’
“WOW! Linds, how forthright! Let me ask you; was it me who was actually pictured in the train station with a bag full of prescription drugs? Do you see me out partying with Lindsay, my other children or having raging wars with her? Was it me who jumped out of a DJ booth and punched Lindsay when she was with Calum Best? Did I drive Lindsay around for hours in LA until she fell asleep and before I ran low on gas only to call the paps and sell pictures to them? Uh uh!“As a matter of fact, I was the one who tried to keep those kinds of parasites away from Lindsay. Like the psycho stalker ‘AJ’s,’ the parasite publicist, the wanna be manager(s), the backstabbing bodyguards, and the not so helpful assistants and the in-laws from hell who spend their time getting high and robbing the victims of the 911 disaster relief fund.
“No, not me, nor my family!
“Sure, I made mistakes, but I righted the wrongs. I continue to hold myself accountable for everything I did and continue to do! I speak the truth! I love God and I love people who speak and know the truth!
“NONE of us are perfect, but we should strive to be as perfect as we can. Don’t use people, don’t lie about people, don’t bare false witness, don’t be envious or jealous and certainly don’t LIE!
“Remember, God is the TRUTH (John 14:6) and the devil is a liar (John 8:44). So you have two choices, represent God (the Truth) or the devil (a liar).
“So, if you want the REAL Story, and if you want to have a voice and hear the truth, join right in!
“May the wind be at your back and the light shine upon your life.”

Mischa launches headband collection
Despite hard times, celebrity collections just keep on coming. Those of actress Mischa Barton are cases in point. She’s launching a
headband line for Stacey Lapidus and already has a
handbag collection for the London-based Ri2k, now in its third season, which is sold in England and Australia.
The headband venture came about when, earlier this year, Lapidus spotted photographs of Barton wearing one across her forehead à la Axl Rose. This convinced the designer, a former accessories editor at Vanity Fair, that a collaboration could work.
“She’s definitely known for being bohemian and for her hippie look, but then you will turn a page and see her in head-to-toe Chanel,” says Lapidus of Barton. “I tried to put both the bohemian and the classic into the collection.”
The Mischa Barton for Stacey Lapidus line consists of six pieces for holiday decorated with pearls, beads, crystals, sequins and flowers. One standout is a silk, crystal and pearl upside-down tiara intended to be worn on the forehead.
Priced from $80 to $200, the Barton pieces initially will be sold at staceylapidus.com, but Lapidus plans to expand distribution to boutiques that sell her signature line.
Barton’s first accessories venture, Mischa Barton
Handbags for the London-based company Ri2k, is now in its third season. For fall ’09, Barton plans to work a Seventies vibe. “Even though I’ve always taken a page from vintage bags that I have and love, I think now I’ll be able to push that a little bit further and do more in terms of embellishment and embroidery,” Barton says.
“Now I really feel like I have their confidence in me. People want to see that you can deliver and do, like, a good job.”

the truth behind sam's "exahustion"?
Never able to stay mad at each other for too long, Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson were spotted out for a last-minute shopping trip in Los Angeles on Wednesday (December 24).
Browsing the racks at the Diesel store for Christmas Eve deals, it appears as if the
Georgia Rule starlet and her British DJ lover have made up just in time to celebrate the holidays together - as the duo reportedly had an "epic" fight that ended up seeing Miss Ronson taken to the hospital for exhaustion this past Sunday.
According to a report, "They (Lindsay and Sam) were going at it for a long time, but it reached a crescendo at around 4:00 AM after one of them screamed at the other, 'You never say you love me.'"
Their inside source adds, "The screaming continued and neighbors heard a glass break. Sam then screamed, 'If you're gonna break things get out of my house.'
One neighbor described the conversation as 'wailing, with lots of obscenities.'"

Michael denies Lindsay's claims
Lindsay Lohan yesterday wrote in her
Myspace blog that she"d learned she has a half-sibling, but now her father is striking back to deny the claim.
But in a rebuttal e-mail sent to People Magazine, the star's controversy-plagued father Michael Lohan is refuting the claim. In fact, he thinks the entry was penned not by his daughter, but by her DJ gal pal Samantha Ronson.
Rumors of the mystery half-Lohan began circulating in June when a woman named Kristi Horn said she'd had a daughter by Michael Lohan 13 years before.
Lohan said he'd entered a relationship with the woman while he was separated from wife Dina Lohan.
Horn sent Lohan photos of the alleged daughter while he was incarcerated, which he said resembled his daughters, but there had not been a paternity test at the time to confirm the child's father.
"Why would someone without taking a test put something out there like this? What if it's negative?" Lohan said in June.

The award winning kind of actor although he has been nominated far less than one would think. Does television primarily now. Leads when he does. Well, it seems that a couple of years ago, our actor decided to invest some money. Well two years later his investment is complete. It is a building in the Bahamas which is composed entirely of time shares. What was supposed to be easy money is turning into a big loser. Only about 20% of the available slots have sold. So, as a result, our actor has taken to having dinner parties, inviting people out for lunch and even bringing brochures and contracts on to the set with him. He is a one man sales force and everyone now does their best to avoid him. Apparently our actor does not want to lose this money. He isn't broke and this would be a dent in his fortune but not back breaking. He just doesn't like to lose and so is personally trying to sell each unit.

The Nominee is trying to launch his own second career at the expense of the Winner.

random thoughts :)
i think that people go through a lot in life. and the things that we go through, whatever they may be, simply just make us stronger in the long run... that is, if we actually take what it is we have learned from our mistakes and teach ourselves what NOT to do in the future. i have gone through a lot in my past, and to be completely honest, i am still going through a lot right now..
my father just let my family and i know, amongst others that he had another child after my little sister Aliana, or maybe he had it before Aliana?? either way, he cheated on my mother and that really sucks... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! wow- do i sound like "debbie downer" or what? not trying to be... but back to the real reason for this blog-i feel like
Britney Spears is an amazing talent, and she has gone through a lot, (just as i have) in the public eye.. which is not necessarily a bad thing.. It teaches young girls and boys that there are certain things in life that you should not let get in the way of your dreams and accomplishments. also that you need to take care of yourself before anyone else, and i mean anyone and everyone else. because at the end of the day, you have to look at yourself in the mirror and see who you really are. stripped of all the distractions in life. so YAY Britney for just being you and still following through with your dreams. i know i am a bit late in writing about this record since it came out already, but better late than never!!!! :)
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
I love my mom, aliana, cody, michael, and my nana sullivan!! i will be missing them this christmas as it is the first one i am spending away from home. i am spending it with Samantha in Los Angeles.
yours truly,
Lindsay

*WHAT Academy Award winning actress/supporting actress recently cut open her husband's face when she threw her statue at him? It's a shocker.
*WHICH actor should modify his behavior before his actress wife kicks him to the curb? The couple were dining out at a trendy restaurant when the wife noticed that he was blatantly checking out every attractive woman who walked by. She warned him once to stop. When he did it again, she stood up, swore at him loud enough for several tables to hear, threw her napkin at him, and then stormed out of the restaurant. Given his history, it’s a little hard to blame her for being sensitive.
*WHICH has-been TV star can’t keep it in his pants? He has two-timed a gaggle of girlfriends and fiancées, and despite his recent nuptials, we hear he’s still making booty calls to exes.
*THIS B list actor, who does more than act with a name everyone recognizes, but maybe not always from his films spent several hours visiting wounded military despite the fact he had an event that night. Plus he chose not to let anyone know he was doing it, and just did it to do it.
*THIS B list film actress who was once the "it" actress is married with child but that marriage is in trouble. Seems she is not a fan of her husband or the child and would rather focus on her career and being famous again.

Twilight remake in the make
A Filipino version of
Twilight for television set to begin production soon.
Actors Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao will be portraying Edward and Isabella, respectively, in the ABS-CBN production which will treat the vampire love story as "drama, romance, and fantasy."
It will be directed by Cathy Garcia Molina and is scheduled to begin filming sometime in February, in both the Philippines and abroad.
The news comes as an upheaval to Twilighters across the internet, who have started an online petition to halt production on Takipsilim because it will "ruin the real Twilight."
Oh don't worry, the American money-grubbing sequel is already working on that!

Samantha Ronson's "much better" after hospitalization for exhaustion
Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson can add "exhaustion" to the list of things they have in common.
"I'm home and all good," Ronson, 31, said in a MySpace Celebrity blog post on Monday after being released from a Los Angeles hospital.
LiLo's gal pal visited Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Sunday afternoon, mere hours after spinning tunes at Hollywood's Ecco Ultra Lounge alongside her girlfriend.
"Was just pretty exhausted from traveling and working too much," Ronson said, adding, "my Jewish mother was worried about me."
Lohan, 22, has famously landed in the hospital several times for "exhaustion" - in 2004 and again in 2006 while filming
Herbie: Fully Loaded. She's reportedly put her experience to good use for her girl.

Brad turns down Angie
Brad Pitt has reportedly turned down a marriage proposal from Angelina Jolie
Angelina - who raises six children with the actor - is said to be desperate to wed, but Brad wants to attend couples counselling before they tie the knot.
A source says: "Angelina proposed to Brad recently and suggested a Christmas wedding. When Brad insisted they hold off, Angelina put him on a major guilt trip by telling him the kids want them to be married.
"Brad thinks a wedding right now is biting off more than they can chew. He would like to slow down and go through some couples counselling. But Angelina is insisting they get married before they adopt again or have another biological baby."
It has also been claimed 33-year-old Angelina is undergoing fertility treatments in a bid to conceive a second set of biological twins with Brad, 45.
A source said: "Angelina's doctors told her she has a strong chance of conceiving twins if she does it within two years after having her first pair. She has been seeing a fertility doctor regularly. She and Brad are monitoring when she is fertile. And they are trying really hard in the bedroom!"

*WHICH A-lister is stingy with his pot? Despite having garbage bags full of weed at home, the cantankerous cannabis lover refuses to puff, puff, pass, and shot down a few recent askers who tried to share his joint.
*I guess she is a C list actress now but with A list name recognition. Anyway, she had her "people" lie to news outlets about her recent trip to rehab. Instead, her "people" gave an exclusive about her rehab visit so she could get a cover story when she gets out of rehab in the hopes of jump starting her career.
*WHICH professional athlete from a major city is playing Scrooge this holiday season? He makes millions every year from his sport, and millions more in product endorsements because of his superstar status. He certainly makes sure that he and loved ones live the good life. When it comes to giving to others, though, he is certainly less than generous. Instead of cash bonuses for his staff, he gave them an assortment of products that he received for free from the companies he endorses. And his total contributions to charities this year? Less than he makes in 15 minutes. Bah, humbug.
*A year ago, this film star looked bloated, wrinkly and just plain old. Although he strikes you as an egomaniac who couldn’t care less what other people think, he was really genuinely hurt by the negative press. So, he has spent the past year or so buffing up his body. However, since he face was still looking old, he finally succumbed to the scalpel. Something called a thread lift to his face, a neck lift, plus some collagen in his laugh lines and just a touch of botox. Result: his body is in top physical shape again, and his face is far and away the most natural plastic work we’ve seen in a while.

Parasites love each other
Samantha Ronson may want her relationship with Lindsay Lohan to work for more reasons than just love: Since dating the actress, the deejay’s fee per gig has jumped from around $1,500 to as much as $25,000, netting Ronson close to $3 million over the last year.
“While Sam never contractually agrees that Lindsay will show up to her shows, promoters, owners and publicists all know that if you book Sam, there’s a high likelihood Lindsay will also show,” an insider close to the couple told us. “Sam’s now asking for a lot more money to spin, and she’s getting it easily.”
At a Miami club last week, Lohan sulked in the corner alone, remarking “Sam is hired to host tonight, not me,” when asked if she was okay.
“They fight every day,” said a friend. “It’s just jealousy and childish bickering over the fact that neither feels the other pays enough attention. While they really do love each other, this relationship will be over by March.”
Adding extra tension is the fact that Ronson’s cutting an album of her own and doesn’t want any help from Lohan. “Sam doesn’t mean that in a bad way. She just wants the record to be about her and not her and Lindsay,” a Ronson confidant told us.
“Meanwhile, Lindsay’s passing on movie roles and job offers just to be with Sam while she tours. It’s a lose-lose situation. Lindsay’s in talks to sign onto a few major movies, but everyone’s worried about how the relationship will affect her career. It’s hurting both of them more than helping either,” our source said. “They’re each really talented, but young. Personally, I wish Lindsay would walk away.”
A friend of Ronson fired back, “Ronson doesn’t need Lindsay to make money. She’s always had money, and relied more on [famous deejay brother] Mark for getting gigs booked. In fact, Sam made Lindsay hot again!”
A rep for Ronson denied the allegations that Sam’s using the relationship for financial gain. As for Lohan, “Lindsay cares about Sam very much,” said her rep.

Keep the ewww going
Following up on his raunchy December 16 interview with Howard Stern, Pete Wentz revealed that wife Ashlee Simpson's breast milk tastes "soury" and "weird" on Monday.
The Fall Out Boy bassist, 29, may not be a fan, but Ashlee and Pete's newborn Bronx Mowgli is: "The baby loves it, it’s the only thing he’s had a chance to have."
Wentz went on to reveal that Ashlee isn't the only Wentz to put on some pregnancy weight: "I gained 10 pounds at least. I usually hang out around 135, 134, I go up to about 140, and when I hit 148, I get fat face."
He added, "I’m working out a little bit, trying…I mean last night I decided to eat Virgil’s [BBQ] at midnight which is never a good idea…I’m feeling that a little bit today. For the most part, we’re going on walks – that kind of stuff. I think it comes off easier for her because she gets to breast feed and I don’t have the luxury of doing that."

*WHO is going to have to pay through the nose to stay in the closet? Sometimes a gay actor will marry a member of the opposite sex in the hopes that it will boost their hetero credibility and expand the range of roles offered to them. The trouble with this strategy is that if the relationship doesn’t last, the ex has a tremendous amount of leverage over the actor. Such is the case of this network TV star whose fake marriage is over. The star’s attorney is trying to get their client to settle quickly and quietly to prevent the ex from spilling secrets. However, the star is now weighing the hefty cost of paying off the ex versus outing themselves.
*WHAT news vixen has split with her boyfriend now that he's found out how close she is to her married boss? The boss may want to ask her how she got those exclusives with a certain actor.

Donna Karan stops using fur thanks to PETA
Donna Karan, the target of one of PETA campaigns, has announced that her fall 2009 lines will be fur-free and that she has "no plans" to use fur in the future!
Karan's announcement came days after PETA launched (now offline) DonnaKaranBunnyButcher.com Web site and after mega–fashion guru Tim Gunn sent Karan and designer Giorgio Armani a video that he narrated for PETA showing animals skinned alive for their fur and urged them to open their eyes to the violent and bloody fur industry.
While Donna Karan has followed in the footsteps of top designers—including Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein—Armani still refuses to stop using fur.
Armani claims that he "only" uses fur from rabbits who are butchered for meat.
We hope that you will take this opportunity to contact Armani to tell him that while the meat of gentle rabbits killed for their fur in China is sold to be eaten, the suffering that they endure is exactly the same.

Sam is depressed and malnourished
Lindsay Lohan's girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, is suffering from "exhaustion" and "stress."She's also got "depression" and hasn't been eating enough, says a source.
Well, on the not eating front, we could believe them!
Friends of Ronson say that they received "frantic phone" calls on Saturday night that the DJ was suffering from exhaustion and stress.
"She was calling around. She knew she had done something wrong," a friend says.
Early Sunday morning, doctors were immediately called to the house, according to the mag.
"She's been suffering from depression and from lack of food and sleep," the source says Lindsay has been helping her through this as she has been through it herself two years ago.
Friends, family and Lindsay are by saMAN's side.

After dining at a restaurant favored by Hollywood hot shots - and consuming as much alcohol as food - he pointed out his car to the valet.

It wasn’t until the actor got a parking ticket on the car an hour later that he realized that it wasn’t even his car. He drove straight back to the restaurant, where a very relieved valet quickly and quietly exchanged keys. The actor didn’t pay the parking ticket, nor did he tip the valet. The first car’s owner is in for quite the surprise when they get the late notice in the mail.

*WHICH European acting beauty is suffering from huge skin problems? Too many chemical peels have left her skin scaly and dry like sandpaper, and magazines are finding the touching-up of her photos increasingly hard.
*THE first is a happy father, settled down and reformed, bankable and respected at the same time… a major player. Which is why it’s so important that he keeps his Cuban male lover hidden away to be enjoyed when he’s not on location. It might seem risqué, having his secret stashed so close to home and his official partner, but he’s hot and horny, and it’s not like he’s not living in a freestyling environment, although I have to tell you, this one really, really surprised me. He plays it so well. And in the end, if it wasn’t such a fraud, it totally wouldn’t matter. He is the nicest, nicest person. Kind and considerate and generous… makes me sad he’s forced to live a lie.
*THIS other one is much less attached than the one above, but just as heterosexually pressured, perhaps even more so. While he’s best known for his female pursuits, and so many females need to believe it that way, it would seem that women are not his only pleasures. When he decides he has a yearning for the other sex however, his flavour is decidedly darker. Sweet chocolate is what they call it? Yes. Black men are his weakness. On occasion, his hankering for it can get him into trouble. He was recently captivated by a fine black man working security at an event who was, unfortunately, not a homosexual. Apparently our star doesn’t have a very sophisticated gaydar because he hit up the wrong dude who did not appreciate the attention, even coming from such a powerful and coveted celebrity. He almost had his *** kicked. His people had to intervene, placate the man, pay off the man… although if he did end up getting the beat-down, he probably would have liked it. Because word is, as time goes on, he’s leaning towards picking a side. Like playing exclusively for the boys team.
*WHICH LA-based Brit celebrity has had so much botox and restylane filler around the mouth, she's got dozens of tiny but noticeable pin-holes above her lips?
*AS detailed here, this celebrity repeatedly denied pregnancy rumors. Despite an obvious baby bump, she claimed to have just gained some weight. She was not going to announce until her pregnancy had reach the stage where she was convinced she could carry to term. Sadly, she has miscarried once again.

Betsey Johnson diffusion line!
Earlier this week we learned Betsey Johnson would forgo a Bryant Park show for undisclosed reasons, which anyone could deduce amounted to saving money (no shame in that these days).
Johnson will do a presentation in her 5,000-square-foot showroom for Fashion Week, which will cost about 50 percent less than her typical $300,000 to $600,000 runway show.
Betsey Johnson CEO Chantal Bacon also let slip this nugget:
Ms. Johnson is planning a limited-edition design collaboration with a retailer that will likely launch in the fall. (She declined to offer specifics on the collaboration.)
Again, one can easily deduce a diffusion line for H&M or Target is probably in Betsey's future.
Since luxury is on the way out, we expect to see more and more designers jumping on the diffusion bandwagon to reach a wider customer base.

Cisco Adler busted
Police in Fargo arrested musician Cisco Adler early Thursday morning after witnesses said he punched an employee in the nose following a brawl after his performance at The Hub.
Adler, son of music producer and director Lou Adler, is the former frontman for the band Whitestarr. He left the band in 2008.
Authorities were called to The Hub about 12:24 a.m. with a report of 15 people brawling and fighting security and management on the northeast corner of the building, according to police dispatch logs.
Police arrived to find several people scuffling, Fargo police Lt. Pat Claus said. Witnesses told police Adler had gotten into a disagreement with another male at the club. As he was being escorted out of the club, he allegedly punched an employee in the nose, Claus said.
Adler, 30, was arrested on suspicion of simple assault and booked into the Cass County Jail. There were no problems with the arrest, Claus said, adding the employee made a citizen’s arrest before police arrived.
Adler was released from jail at 1:26 a.m. after posting $500 cash bail, according to jail officials.
He was in town Wednesday performing at The Venue with hip-hop artist Schwayze.

Baz Luhrmann to direct The Great Gatsby
Baz Luhrmann has bought the rights to
The Great Gatsby, insisting that the pre-Depression novel parallels the current economic climate.
The
Australia director claimed that F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary classic, which details the transition of America from the Roaring Twenties to the Great Depression, could be used to teach people about their own financial state.
"If you wanted to show a mirror to people that says, 'You've been drunk on money,' they're not going to want to see it," he said "But if you reflected that mirror on another time they'd be willing to.
"People will need an explanation of where we are and where we've been and
The Great Gatsby can provide that explanation."
Luhrmann also revealed that he hoped to get started on Gatsby soon because of the obvious relevancy of the story.
"I'm going to move faster than I have before. I'd be surprised if it's another seven years," he said, referring to the time that elapsed between
Australia and his previous film
Moulin Rouge.
