HOW DOES MY HAIR LOOK?

Filed Under: Brad Pitt > Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston has made thinly veiled references to the fact that she’s happy to be with a guy who isn’t focused on his personal appearance. Her new beau Vince Vaughn is generally oblivious about his looks. Few people realize it, but Jen’s ex Brad Pitt, is one of the vainest actors in Hollywood. Not necessarily obnoxious, just OBSESSED with his looks. What OTHER actor do we know of who travels with his makeup artist to make sure his slightly flawed skin is prettied up to the max at all times? Brad is extremely fussy about his hair he spends HOURS in the salon chair getting perfect highlights. And they’d better be in the right places he’s been known to go home and decide that an important strand of hair was overlooked and go back for more! Even Brad’s funky wardrobe is no accident- like many female stars, he has a full time stylist shopping for him. Guess living up to the title Sexiest Man Alive is hard work. Wonder how Angelina feels about fighting for the mirror.

NO IFS ANDS OR BUTTS

Filed Under: Tyra Banks

Apparently Supermodel Tyra Banks isn’t kidding when she says she feels like SHE has flaws too. In fact she’s self-conscious enough to teach the cameramen on her talk show exactly how to shoot her. Tyra has a strict rule: NO SHOTS OF MY BUTT! Camera operators are instructed NOT to follow her rear end with the camera in situations where she’s walking away. “Keep it above my waist ” she warned. Sometimes even flattering lighting isn’t enough.

WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES

Filed Under: Fashion > Johnny Depp > Keith Richards

One more reason to love Keith Richards : He hates to wear anything that looks new or stylish or “designery.” His wardrober for the Rolling Stones current tour, Robert Carey-Williams , says “You can’t just present a new shirt on a hanger for Keith to wear. Richards would much rather discover a garment wadded up in a corner. Sometimes you have to leave clothes about, as opposed to offering them to him.”
Equally eccentric Johnny Depp has long admired Richards’ style and talent for wearing scarves. Depp modelled the look of his camp character in “Pirates of the Caribbean” after Keith. They’ve become such close friends that Keith likes to have the actor break in his shoes before he puts them on. And Johnny doesn’t mind scuffing up the shoes for his buddy at least they’re not too small.

KATIE'S BABY

Filed Under: Cults > Katie Holmes > Tom Cruise

We hear that Suri Cruise is being closely watched by the Scientologists because she COULD turn out to be L Ron Hubbard reincarnated! It brings to mind Rosemary’s Baby, doesn’t it? Anyway, the Scientology bunch has been eagerly awaiting the return of their departed spiritual leader. They believe when a Scientologist dies that they select a baby’s body and take over the soul. When the baby grows up it is drawn to Scientology. They calculate that Hubbard would select a very special child in which to make his return. Tom Cruise and Katie would be ideal parents for an L Ron Hubbard baby. Consequently they are looking for any sign that Suri has a link to Hubbard. Most likely they’ll have to wait until Suri can talk and begins her auditing classes. Who knows? She might start quoting passages from Dianetics.
For those of you who think my reference to Rosemary’s Baby is far �fetched: Here’s a synopsis of the movie from Yahoo:
“A young married couple, trying unsuccessfully to conceive, finally have it happen when the husband strikes a deal with the devil worshippers next door. All of this is unbeknownst to the poor wife/mother who soon realizes she could be having Satan’s child.”
I rest my case!

SEPARATED AT BIRTH?

PHOTO TIPSTER

Filed Under: Denise Richards > Richie Sambora

We wonder �is Richie Sambora in cahoots with Denise Richards in setting up all those photo ops of them frolicking together in Europe? He must be- they’re just too perfect. Denise wanted EVERYONE (especially Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear) to know that she and Richie did NOT split up as erroneously written in In Touch. We get the hint, Denise. Naughty Denise HAS been feeling some press backlash an Australian mag supposedly wrote that Denise’s second child was actually Sambora’s- which the pair hotly denied. Another rumor abroad was that Denise is pregnant with Richie’s child right now. If those bikini shots are any indication, that story’s not true either.

SEX THERAPY

Filed Under: Kevin Costner > Sex

Kevin Costner’s marriage is in grave jeopardy unless he resorts to heroic measures to save it. His young wife Christine was crushed by the charges made by a masseuse that Kevin exposed himself to her at a resort in Scotland where they were celebrating their honeymoon! “Christine was devastated and fears she’ll never be able to trust her husband. When she read about the charge she told him “It’s OVER!” Kevin is desperate to save his marriage and promised to go to sex therapy every day until Christine could forgive him. But soon he left for Louisiana and Europe for work ,and Christine is living solo by choice at their Santa Barbara house, wondering if he’s continuing the therapy. At this point she’s not optimistic. Kevin’s friends are on Christine’s side � they know how he cheated on his exwife Cindy and think he’s a jerk.

IS SHE OR ISN'T SHE?

Filed Under: Cults

Last minute buzz: Before the final tally Wednesday night, a rumor swept the American Idol offices and backstage that Katharine McPhee ,or members of her family, have close ties to Scientology. As a result, the Scientologists were expected to organize a massive number of voters to make SURE that Katharine was the winner. Remember, Scientologists helped Tom Cruise tally an impressive first weekend by purchasing large blocks of tickets to his movie MI2. Nobody wanted to see the contest manipulated that way, and the rumor turned out NOT to be true. According to a family friend, Katharine is not and never has been a Scientologist, nor has anyone in her immediate family. So the vote wasn’t tainted and as far as we know, the best singer won fair and square.

THE GUY CAN'T HELP IT

Filed Under: Jeff Goldblum

Ladies man Jeff Goldblum, clad in an expensive black leather jacket and hip glasses, stopped into Greenblatts deli on Sunset to pick up dinner to go. (Salad and smoked salmon.) He struck up a flirty conversation with the girl in line in front of him. While waiting for his order, he chatted up the young saleswoman in the wine section. When a female shopper selected two bottles of wine, he started an animated discussion with her about her choices. An observer remarked ” He managed to flirt with every woman in the place while waiting for his order. No wonder he’s not engaged (to 23 year old dancer Catherine Wreford) anymore!”

UNDERCOVER SCHEME

Filed Under: Crimes and Misdemeaners

The tabs are aflutter since a former US Weekly reporter was arrested for computer hacking. This reporter left US to start her own paparazzi agency, and a few days ago the FBI arrived at her home with a search warrant and seized her computer, among other items. She’s accused of hacking into the US computer system and scamming celebrity info in particular about Charlie Sheen. Why would she dig for Sheen info? The hot rumor around Hollywood is because she had a sweet backroom deal with Denise Richards, that’s why. It may or may not be true, but it sure makes sense. Denise set up photo ops for the agency� remember those first pix of her and Richie Sambora frolicking? Big bucks. In exchange, the former US reporter may have been digging up dirt about Charlie for Denise. Divorce ammunition. We wonder what Richie Sambora will think about being involved in this dirty little scheme.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SANTINO RICE?

Filed Under: Fashion

Our favorite Project Runway loser is still the same ornery character he was on the show. (By the way, did you happen to notice on one episode of Runway that Santino’s “best friend” is Madonna’s exboyfriend Tony Ward? Small world, huh?) Five of the finalists on the BRAVO program were graduates of FIDM (The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) in Los Angeles. Namely, Daniel Franco, Guadalupe Vidal, Nick Verreos, Raymundo Baltazar, and Santino. After the reality show ended, the five graduates were invited back to FIDM to take part in a panel to discuss their success and answer students’ questions. Everyone said yes, except for Santino and the event took place without him. Why? Even though he lives in the area, Santino wanted his Alma Mater to fork over $5000 for his appearance!

DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

Filed Under: Reality Shows

All of a sudden we’re not so upset about Chris Daughtry’s shocking elimination on American Idol. Success has ALREADY gone to his head! Chris and Bucky Covington were in the rockin’ crowd watching Alice in Chains at The Roxy Thursday night. Billy Corgin and Scott Weiland got up and sang with the band and Chris wanted to get onstage and jam but they wouldn’t let him. Chris became arrogant and gasped that fatal line “DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I almost won on American Idol!”
“Sorry � old school rockers only” he was told.
Keep in mind both Bucky and Chris are married. “After the show Chris turned hound dog and flirted with every cute girl in sight”. Bucky was polite to all and heard reminding a fan “I’m married, you know.” Chris tried to scam free drinks by flattering the female bartenders. When they said no way he pulled the line out again ‘DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” An attractive fan walked up and told Chris “You were robbed!” (referring to his Idol loss) He replied without modesty “Yeah, I was. I knew I was the best out there!” Taken aback, the girl said “You’re SO cocky!” Chris shrugged “When you’re good, you CAN be cocky!”
Talk about losers with attitude!
We also had a report of Chris butting in on Brandon Davis and Nicky Hilton while they were having lunch at the Polo Lounge. Chris presumptiously took photos of the pair eating and then plopped himself down at their table where he monopolized the conversation. Brandon and Nicky weren’t thrilled and they discreetly arranged to have security shoo the Idol wannabe back to his own table.

THE MAN WHO TAMED JESSICA'S BUTT

Filed Under: Jessica Simpson

Thanks to Jessica Simpson, the hottest trainer at Sports Club LA in Beverly Hills is Mike Alexander. He still puts Jessica through her paces several times a week, often at the gym. Jessica’s workouts HARDLY go unnoticed- girls are standing in line for personal training from Jessica’s guy Mike. A gym member noted “Mike is the talk of the gym. He has every hour filled- a lot of women want Jessica’s ‘Dukes of Hazzard”‘body. They all hope to look like her”
“Mike isn’t gouging his clients � he still charges $75 per hour IF you can get an appointment. ”
The gym member says “The funny thing is you can hear his clients asking ‘Is this the same thing Jessica does for her butt?’ Or you can hear Mike pushing them ‘TEN more repititions- � JESSICA wouldn’t complain about this!’”

NOT ONE PERSON GOT UP AND DANCED

Filed Under: Madonna

Madonna fans spending $350 per ticket are in for a big jolt if her concert tour is anywhere near as disappointing as her final dress rehearsal � free for friends and family Saturday night at the Forum. “It went over like a lead balloon.” said an observer. “Her first appearance climbing out of a huge disco ball in Gaultier’s riding oufit was promising, but horses and disco make no sense! She skipped most of her popular songs and sang new ones � and they’re not that memorable.” The audience wasn’t happy and when she tried to get everyone to sing along there was dead silence. “What’s WRONG with you people?” she demanded of her listless observers.”Next time I’m gonna CHARGE you!” The crowd wasn’t impressed by her few uninspired costume changes she had a falling out with Jean-Paul Gaultier and they parted ways so she switched costumers early on. Since she wore mostly the same blah lavender leotards we’ve already seen too much of, it looked like Capezio picked up where Gaultier left off. Who ever heard of BORING COSTUMES at a Madonna show?
To be fair, she got a few big laughs when the red kaballah bracelets she and her dancers wore showed up on the huge video screens. During a crucifix scene someone whispered ” Marilyn Manson did that in 1997.” Madonna’s political moments, lack of eye candy, a depressing kids with AIDS video, and dreary song choices brought the crowd DOWN. It wasn’t the fresh, naughty Madonna we live for. Even her celebrity friends left early – Macy Gray and Kevin Richardson sneaked out before the end, and Demi Moore slipped out before the lackluster finale with Guy Oseary. On the way out, Oseary shook his head and whispered to a pal “Totally FLAT!” And everyobdy within earshot agreed.

ONCE A HICK……..

Filed Under: Bad Tipper! > Kevin Federline

Whatever you do, don’t give Kevin Federline the wrong drink! On Kev and Briitney’s last visit to Koi they sat with baby Sean and two friends on the patio -where smoking is allowed. (A baby no-no?) Britney and friends drank what looked like martinis while Kevin ordered “hick drinks” (that’s what the servers and bartenders call them) concoctions that no one had ever HEARD of, and didn’t know how to make. He had to settle for a normal cocktail and was disgruntled. When they left, the Federline bodyguard only left a measly $30 tip for their $500 meal.

SHE CAN AFFORD TO BE GENEROUS

Filed Under: Ellen DeGeneres

Money is no object for Ellen Degeneres when it comes to pampering her girlfriend Portia de Rossi. Ellen’s been decorating their lavish new home and while the girls were shopping together, Portia fell in love with a forty thousand dollar couch upholstered with alpaca. Portia moaned about the ultra soft furry feel of the cream colored sofa and couldn’t live without it. (Can’t you just picture the girls cuddling on the couch watching Ellen’s talk show?) Ellen not only had it delivered promptly � she ordered a custom chair to match for $18000.

DILETTANTE?

Filed Under: Kimberly Stewart

We can’t help but wonder if Kimberly Stewart takes her rigorous workout classes – Barry’s Bootcamp – in West Hollywood, seriously. According to a classmate, Rod’s daughter showed up for class slurping the remains of a high calorie Frappacino with whipped cream, while puffing on a cigarette. (VERY Paris Hilton!)

HILARY BUSTED

Filed Under: Crimes and Misdemeaners > Hilary Duff

It’s been kept undercover until now, but Hilary Duff and five other underage girls were nabbed by undercover cops in a sting at Mood recently, and herded outside. Several girls had fake ID’s but Hilary didn’t . She WAS underage in a bar, but luckily they didn’t catch her drinking. She was scared and crying. The cops took the girls to their squad car and called parents. They didn’t arrest the girls – just wanted to scare and humiliate them. Hilary’s mother picked her up. Her boyfriend Joel Madden was secretly delighted when he heard about it. He doesn’t like Hilary going to clubs without him. THAT’S why Hilary has been playing it safe lately. Sometimes she rents a whole club and has a “party” so it’s legal for her to be there underage.

TICKET BUYER BEWARE

Filed Under: Tom Hanks

If you love religious ceremony and ancient ideologies maybe “The Da Vinci Code” is up your alley, but if you have a logical nature, you’re in for what seems like three hours of water torture. Two redeeming features: Watching Tom Hanks struggle to keep a straight face through all that melodramatic nonsense, and checking out Tom’s hair we hear he got hair transplants before this movie…
Check out this photo of Tom and the Prime Minister of Japan comparing hairstyles:

FAKEST COVER STORY OF THE WEEK

Filed Under: Fake!

In Touch wins by a landslide with “Richie Dumps Denise.” Not only did he NOT make this “shocking decision” after a meeting with Heather, but he and Denise have had plans to hook up all along during his European tour and they might be together reading this and laughing right now!
