KAT VON D: CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED ABOUT JESSE JAMES
Filed Under: Cheater > Cheaters > Jesse James > Kat Von D > Sandra Bullock
Jesse James has been mouthing off that he cheated on Sandra Bullock because she was away making movies all the time. What’s a guy supposed to DO? Now that he’s dating Kat Von D, he’s presented with another dilemma. She lives and does her show “L.A. Ink” in Los Angeles, and he just moved to Austin, Texas! Evidently Kat will just have to factor in cheating as part of THEIR long distance relationship also.

CAN BRISTOL PALIN DO WHAT KATE GOSSELIN DID FOR “DANCING WITH THE STARS?”
Filed Under: Bad Behavior > Bristol Palin > Dancing With the Stars > Kate Gosselin > Ratings
Bristol Palin, 19, is shaping up to be the new (difficult and demanding) Kate Gosselin on “Dancing With The Stars” and producers couldn’t be happier about her complaints. The show has barely started, and Bristol is already reportedly annoyed by all the questions about her mother and she’s not happy about the amount of press she has to do. Plus, of course, she intends to remain “modest” and won’t be wearing those sexy costumes. Producers are hoping her bratty behavior captivates viewers like Gosselin’s did – ratings zoomed and for the first time the show beat American Idol.

THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW AND MAYBERRY ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
Filed Under: Andy Griffith > Floyd's Barbershop > Ford Galaxy > Mayberry > N.C. > The Andy Griffith Show
Mount Airy, North Carolina, is gearing up to celebrate the 50th anniversary of “The Andy Griffith Show.” Andy was born in Mount Airy, and he patterned his fictional Mayberry after the small town. He even used the same street names and the Snappy Lunch restaurant – still on Main Street. Over the last two decades, factories in Mount Airy closed down, but tourism came to replace them. The Andy Griffith museum is a big draw and nostalgic tourists pump millions into the economy. (Yes, there is still a Floyd’s Barbershop.) Three 1960’s Ford Galaxies painted like Andy’s cruiser drive around town, giving rides to tourists. Believe it or not, 50,000 visitors are expected this October to celebrate the TV show’s 50th anniversary. Most of the cast members coming were extras playing kids on the show. But they all have memories.

IMAGINE THAT. PARIS HILTON IS BANNED FROM NIGHTCLUBS THAT USED TO PAY HER TO SHOW UP
Filed Under: Cocaine > Cy Waits > Drugs > Fired > Paris Hilton > Steve Wynn
We figured Steve Wynn was angry enough to fire Paris Hilton’s boyfriend Cy Waits from his nightclub manager job, but we didn’t realize Wynn was fed up with Paris also! After he fired Waits, Wynn went on the BAN Paris from the two Wynn resorts in Las Vegas (and all the nightclubs therein,) according to the Huffington Post. Waits was arrested for misdemeanor DUI while Hilton is accused of felony cocaine possession. So far, Cy’s twin brother Jesse is still working for Wynn. If cocaine charges don’t faze her, we wonder if being banned from nightclubs will get Paris’s attention.

“DANCING WITH THE STARS SAVED MY LIFE” SAYS JENNIFER GREY
Filed Under: Dancing With the Stars > Health Scare > Jennifer Grey
It’s complicated, but Jennifer Grey swears that her upcoming stint on “Dancing with the Stars” already saved her life! The “Dirty Dancing “ star says she has been invited to do the show many times but only last year did she really consider it. Her neck had bothered her since she had that awful car accident with Matthew Broderick years ago, so she visited Karina Smirnoff’s neurologist and was shocked by what he told her. Her spinal cord was compressed and if she fell or something she’d likely be paralyzed. He also pointed out a nodule she’d been “watching for years” and insisted she have it removed as well as having her compressed nerves dealt with. The nodule turned out to be cancerous, but she is now cancer free and her neck is ready to dance. THAT’S why Jennifer says the show saved her life! (Jennifer is front row, second from the left.)

ARE KATY PERRY’S BLEMISHES A HINDRANCE OR AN ASSET?

We can’t help but wonder how Katy Perry’s skin breakouts affect her contract with the Proactiv company. She earns millions as their spokesperson but are they unhappy when she shows up in public with acne? Or are they GLAD that she gets pimples because she can actually use their product to get rid of them?

WILL AMERICA EMBRACE JIM CARREY AND EWAN MCGREGOR IN LOVE IN “I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS?
Filed Under: Ewan McGregor > Gay > Jim Carrey > Movies > Sex
It looks like American film distributors are still squeamish about gay sex scenes because “I Love You Phillip Morris” starring Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey has been languishing on the shelf for a year after the film showed at Sundance and the Cannes Film Festival in 2009. The movie is based on a true story about a con man (Carrey) who keeps busting out of jail in creative ways to be with the love of his life (Ewan.) The movie was released in Europe and did reasonably well, but American distributors balked at the love scenes. The off-beat romance finally found a courageous distributor –Roadside Attractions- and it’s set to be released in December.

WHETHER JAIL AND REHAB REALLY CHANGED LINDSAY LOHAN REMAINS TO BE SEEN
Filed Under: Adderall > Denial > Drugs > Lindsay Lohan > Rehab > Vanity Fair
Lindsay Lohan looks great on the cover of Vanity Fair – the photo and interview were done a week before she was jailed and rehabbed. It’s worthy of note that in her interview, Lindsay insisted she has “never abused prescription drugs” and did not have a drinking problem. (Sure, we believe a “misdiagnosis” caused her to pop all those Adderall.) Oh, and she blamed her bad decisions and bad behavior on the fact that she had poor role models, like Britney – and her parents. It will be interesting to see if, in her first interview AFTER jail and rehab, (for which she will be paid a fortune) anything changes. Denial and blaming others are not good signs for recovery. Will she man up and takes responsibility for her own behavior?

DIVINE BROWN IS GRATEFUL TO HUGH GRANT FOR GIVING HER A “PRETTY WOMAN” LIFE
Filed Under: Divine Brown > Hugh Grant > Money > Sex > scandal
Photo via: Daily Mail
Divine Brown is living happily ever after thanks to that fateful night in 1995 when she had a $50 sexual encounter with Hugh Grant. Divine (real name Stella Thompson) says that infamous scandal earned her over a million dollars and changed her life. Dozens of interviews later, she gave up the sex trade and moved to Atlanta where she put her two daughters through college. Now she has a new house in the suburbs, a baby, a fiance, and they run a music production company together. Divine likens her experience to “Pretty Woman” and says Hugh was her Richard Gere. We love a happy ending and we bet Hugh does also.

SEE “HEARTBREAKER” FOR ENTERTAINING ESCAPISM AND JUST PLAIN FUN
Filed Under: Comedy > Heartbreaker > Movies > Romance > Vanessa Paradis
Weeks ago we wrote about Vanessa Paradis and her new movie “Heartbreaker,” coming out this month. We posted the movie’s trailer and it looked like a funny romantic comedy that we hoped to see. Tonight we SAW it, and it more than lived up to our expectations. What a delight! Exotic locations and a very entertaining story that had the audience laughing out loud. The “Dirty Dancing “ scenes were our favorites. Here’s a romantic comedy that men will enjoy too. (Partly because the women are very sexy and the men are average looking at best.) It’s WAY funnier and more original than American romantic comedies.

HER HUSBAND SEEMS HEALTHY AND MARCIA CROSS HAS NEVER LOOKED HAPPIER
Filed Under: Desperate Housewives > Health > Husband > Marcia Cross > Tom Mahoney

It’s nice to see “Desperate Housewives” star Marcia Cross and her twin daughters Eden and Savannah at the Santa Monica farmer’s market as usual. This time is special because Marcia’s husband Tom Mahoney accompanied them and it looks like his health is much improved. In 2009 Tom, a stock broker, was treated for cancer and he looked gaunt and lost his hair and was rarely seen in public. It’s apparent that Marcia is happy and grateful that Tom is back and energetically playing with the kids.

CY WAITS’ DYNAMIC CAREER IS STALLED THANKS TO ARREST WITH PARIS: HE’S FIRED!
Filed Under: Cy Waits > DUI > Drai's > Drugs > Fired > Paris Hilton > Steve Wynn
It’s been a wild summer for Cy Waits. He started dating Paris Hilton (and achieved some notoriety) in June and he and his twin brother Jesse just got a huge promotion from Las Vegas boss Steve Wynn. The brothers have been successfully running Wynn’s nightclubs and when Wynn and Victor Drai recently parted ways – they took over Drai’s empire. The twins were on the fast track to incredible success until Paris pulled out her lip gloss. The resulting drug charges and Cy’s DUI rubbed Steve Wynn the wrong way and to no one’s surprise, word is out that he fired Cy. The future of his brother Jesse is unknown. Suddenly Cy isn’t the great catch he was when Paris started dating him.

IS MELANIE “SCARY SPICE” BROWN COMING TO HER SENSES ABOUT HER DUBIOUS HUSBAND?
Filed Under: Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown > Rumors > Split > Stephen Belafonte

Most of Mel B’s friends, plus her own mother, are hoping that rumors about Mel and her husband Stephen “Belafonte” splitting up are TRUE! Since Melanie married her con man over two years ago, her friends have been praying she’d come to her senses. After all, it turned out Stephen has criminal records in San Diego, New Jersey, and Los Angeles – - mostly for assault and battery on wives and girlfriends, with a few credit card and eviction problems thrown in. He tried to pass himself off as Harry Belafonte’s son, but his real last name is Stansbury. Not only that, but he cheats and chases other women every time Mel turns her back. Unfortunately, Mel is addicted to his hot lovin’ so she’s been blind to his defects. The couple was out the other night, but refused to talk about their relationship.

JAMES DEAN: MORE THAN YOU EVER NEEDED TO KNOW
Filed Under: 1951: A Portrait of James Dean" > Gay > James Dean > James Preston > Movies > The Gates
This is the trailer for the new movie “Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean.” James Preston, who plays Luke Ford on the vampire show “The Gates” plays Dean. (We fondly remember James Franco as James Dean.) It’s apparent that this movie is playing up the rumors that Dean was gay or bisexual. Somehow, as much as we loved James Dean, the gay angle isn’t going to make us want to run out and see this movie.

FRANCES COBAIN IS QUIETLY BUILDING HER OWN LIFE WITHOUT COURTNEY LOVE
Filed Under: Art > Courtney Love > Emancipation > Frances Cobain > Marianne Faithfull > The Sane Society
Frances Bean Cobain is looking slimmer and prettier and appears to be doing quite well without guidance from her mother Courtney Love. She’s pictured here arriving at LAX – apparently she has put her plans to attend Bard College in New York on hold. We hear she’s spending the next year in Paris working on her art. (She had a very successful show at La Luz de Jesus gallery in LA) Frances, 18, will be staying in Marianne Faithfull’s Paris apartment while Marianne is on tour and recording elsewhere. Note: Frances is reading The Sane Society by Erich Fromm.

PRIMPING FOR THE CAMERAS GOT PARIS HILTON IN TROUBLE
Filed Under: Arrested > Cocaine > Drugs > Las Vegas > Lip Gloss > Paris Hilton
We’re puzzled by the Paris Hilton conundrum when it comes to her cocaine possession arrest in Las Vegas. According to the AP, police smelled marijuana drifting out of the car occupied by Paris and her boyfriend Cy Waits and they were pulled over near the Wynn Hotel. Cy was arrested for DUI and when looky-loos started to gather and take photos, Paris asked if they could go inside the hotel. In the lobby she sensed the arrival of cameras, so she pulled her lip gloss out of her purse and in doing so, a small packet of cocaine fell out. Hence, SHE was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Paris has already made it clear that she plans to claim it wasn’t HER purse. If it wasn’t her purse, what was her lip gloss doing in there? She can leave it to her high-powered lawyer to figure this one out.

It’s nice to see Diana Ross out and about – she celebrated her son Evan Ross’s 22nd birthday at Voyeur on Friday night. Evan, whose father is Norwegian businessman Arne Naess, chose to use his mother’s last name (like Melissa Rivers) because it has more clout in Hollywood. It must be working – he has a lingerie model girlfriend, Cora Skinner, (above) and roles in about five movies coming out this year.

SERENA WILLIAMS: IS IT MAKEUP – OR PLASTIC SURGERY?

Usually whatever tennis champ Serena Williams wears is the subject of much speculation but this time it was her face. She looked especially pretty and feminine at the Hamptons Magazine cover party sponsored by Grey Goose at Pranna in Manhattan. Serena’s hair is darker and SOME observers think she had her nose surgically tweaked. It’s either THAT or very artfully applied make up. In fact, her nose looks a lot like Kim Kardashian’s now.

MARIAH CAREY’S DRESS FROM A PEA IN THE POD SCREAMS “I”M PREGNANT!”

Let’s face it, women don’t shop in maternity stores unless they’re expecting a baby. Mariah Carey continues to dance around baby questions, but her clothing is doing the talking. The Daily Mail uncovered the fact that she is wearing a brown $140 maxi dress from the maternity shop “a pea in the pod.” Women who AREN’T expecting don’t shop at this store (with the possible exception of Kirstie Alley.) We’re betting she’ll be photographed in other dresses from the same outlet. This seals it for us- Mariah is definitely expecting and we’re happy for her.

KIM KARDASHIAN’S FACE ON L.A. CONFIDENTIAL MAGAZINE: DID SHE OR DIDN’T SHE?
Filed Under: Cover Girl > Kim Kardashian > LA Confidential > Plastic Surgery
Kim Kardashian’s face on the cover of L.A. Confidential magazine has caused quite a stir. People who’ve seen it declare that Kim has had “some kind of plastic surgery” – they’re not sure WHAT – and she looks very different and not as natural as she did before. When Kim showed up at the magazine’s party last night, her face was the subject of much conversation. It was agreed that she had a LOT of make up on, but she was described as looking PHOTOSHOPPED in real life! Somebody said she’s “gone too far.” Her nose was narrow and her skin was smooth and tight. Do you agree?
