SUDDENLY SINGLE

Filed Under: Jessica Simpson > Tabloids

On Wednesday June 28, Jessica Simpson started preparing for the holiday weekend with a fake tan – of course. She was waiting her turn in the lobby of the Uvasun tanning salon in West Hollywood and picked up a magazine on the table. As she was flipping through the pages she suddenly let out a squeal and blurted out “I’M NOT DIVORCED YET!” She tossed the weekly back on the table clucking “They’re wrong – they ALWAYS get it wrong!” But it didn’t dampen her spirits. She laughed and joked with other customers before getting her tanning bed and liquid sun combo so she’s bikini ready for the weekend. (Two day later the divorce apparently WAS final, according to US Weekly.)

NO MORE FUNNY BUSINESS

Filed Under: Tony Parker

Not long ago you could find Eva Longoria partying night after night with her platonic “buddy” Jamie Foxx. No more. While filming Desperate Housewives, Eva spent weekends with her steady Tony Parker, but during the week when Tony was away playing ball, Eva’s pal Jamie eagerly volunteered to escort her to parties and clubs. They were often seen hanging out til 2 am. Until, that is, Tony saw pictures like this and decided they were getting WAY too chummy. Eva was delighted with his jealous reaction (after all, she IS dying for a ring!) and promised to stick with her girlfriends when Tony’s not around. Perhaps thanks to Jamie, Tony is around a LOT more lately! SOMEONE is smarter than she looks!

BORN TO SHOP

Filed Under: Child Stars

We love to point it out when celebrities children are well behaved. (Perhaps because so many are NOT!) Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’s offspring Tallulah has obviously been well brought up. The twelve year old already loves fashion and she a couple of girlfriends recently shopped the flea market at the Santa Monica airport. Tallulah ( her friends called her “Lulah” ) eagerly inspected the vintage bakelite jewelry and asked all kinds of questions about it’s history. She carefully tried on some slip dresses and a vintage jacket. One vendor said “She was adorable – polite, inquisitive, and careful with all the delicate items. And she didn’t ask for a DISCOUNT!”

No Thanks, Craft Service

Filed Under: No Appetite

Nobody wants to say anything to his face, but coworkers just can’t stop gossiping about this actor behind his back. This drop-dead handsome guy starred in a hit series just a few years ago and he’s recently finished a new pilot. But he showed up on the set looking “alarmingly thin! ” Startled coworkers describe him as a “male lollipop” and compare his physique to Calista Flockhart. Has anorexia or bulemia spread to the male side of Hollywood? The once gorgeous actor is also uncharacteristically irritable. The TV pilot’s famous director didn’t complain because he’s super skinny himself!

NOTORIOUS CONTROVERSY

Filed Under: Tori Spelling

The feud between Tori Spelling and her mother Candy is not likely to burn out until Tori’s faux reality show So Notorious is history. Tori’s TV mom (called Kiki and played to a T by Loni Anderson,) is incredibly vain and self – centered and prone to making comments like “Tori, Life isn’t all about YOU.” Besides that, Kiki is an oversexed tramp who makes passes at Tori’s boyfriends. Oddly enough, none of those awful traits bothered Candy as much as a reference in the script that greedy Kiki was in the habit of selling gift-bag freebies on eBay. THAT was the last straw. No matter how often Tori insists that Kiki is just a comic character on the show and not based on fact, Candy is still steaming.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

Filed Under: Kathy Griffin > Reality Shows

Kathy Griffin is pulling the wool over our eyes in the nicest possible way. Kathy, a self confessed reality show junkie, introduced some totally UNREAL elements to her show “My Life on the D-List.” Last September Kathy filed for divorce from her “soulmate” of over four years Matthew Moline. The divorce was never finalized and Kathy claimed they were working things out. But in actuality, things DIDN’T work out, and Matthew moved into his own place last year. For this season’s tapings Matt always arrived early in the morning before the cameras, and PRETENDED to be still living in Kathy’s hillside mansion. The marriage is OVER although Kathy and Matt are still good friends. When will she admit her little subterfuge?

Filed Under: Reality Shows > Shanna Moakler > Travis Barker

It looks like The Barkers are still on the rocks.

Filed Under: Sex

This he-man actor went to a swinging Beverly Hills party with a male friend and they encountered two playful strippers. Fueled by liquor and drugs, the leading man and strippers ended up in the host’s bedroom putting on an explicit show. The guy got so carried away he pulled five or six onlookers to join in the orgy. And guess what – the sex-mad stud turned his attention to his male companion and forgot all about the girls! He lived to regret the exhibitionist bisexual fling because Hollywood loves to gossip and that moment of madness caused everyone to re-evaluate his machismo!

BROKEBACK ARTICULATION

Filed Under: Heath Ledger

Here’s a little known fact: Did you ever notice that easygoing Brokeback Mountain stud Heath Ledger – who seems so perfect- has a speech impediment? That’s right. When the Oscar nominated Aussie actor is under pressure he starts to stutter. If he’s excited or nervous it becomes even more noticeable. He’s learned to cope with it. People who’ve worked with him say that while he’s filming movies, he often has to repeat his lines over and over until they ‘re delivered without a hitch.

SHE'S READY FOR HER CLOSE-UP

Filed Under: Star Jones

So what if she got fired from The View? Now Star Jones Reynolds is free to pursue her dream of becoming a MOVIE STAR! You might not remember, but Star made a guest appearance on the Lifetime series Strong Medicine a few years back and she was DEVOURED by the acting bug. Star figured if Oprah can act, she could too. Sadly, her boss Barbara Walters doused her acting aspirations – pointing out that Star could “lose credibility as a TV journalist and legal expert.” And that was THAT. Star had to put her passion to act on the back burner. After her huge weight loss the idea of acting became even more plausible, but Ms Walters always stood in her say. Now she’s FREE to give Hollywood a try, and we bet hubby Al is already packing his bags for Beverly Hills.

It's In The Contract!

Filed Under: Drugs

This megastar has an unusual perk written into his contract: He MUST have a special assistant who’s only job is to make this difficult star happy. The catch? The “assistant” is really the star’s drug dealer! The star orders a mountain of drugs and bills THE STUDIO under the guise of personal care items. The studio is footing the bill for thousands of dollars a day because they feel it’s cheaper to keep the star happy than risk him walking off the set!

SMILE FOR THE CAMERA

Filed Under: Alexis Arquette

Good DMV stories don’t come along often. The last time Alexis Arquette, who appeared in all his glory on the last season of The Surreal Life, went to get his license renewed, he threw the Hollywood DMV into a tizzy. Gender bending Alexis is the Arquette in the early stages of a sex change ( his siblings are supportive, – in fact Rosanna is filming a documentary of the process) and he/she stood in line wearing a blonde wig, a full face of makeup, high heels and matching handbag, and a long brown dress. Others in the DMV office were abuzz speculating whether he would end up with “F” or “M” under SEX on his license. Insiders tell us it’s still an “M” – until further notice.

Has Jessica Simpson’s stylist TURNED on her – or did she take a day OFF? Jessica recently showed up in New York of all places, brandishing what looks like a big Hawaiian fish print sarong wrapped around her, accompanied by thick brown sensible shoes and a large slouchy bag. Worst of all, the get-up makes her look POUNDS heavier than she is. Oh well, she’s still a beauty, and everyone has a lapse in taste once in a while…

SAKE IS THE LEAST OF HER PROBLEMS

Filed Under: Crimes and Misdemeaners > Hilary Duff

Looks like Hilary Duff,18, learned her lesson when she was rounded up with some suspected underage drinkers (see Hilary Busted item) a few weeks back at a Hollywood club. Hilary and her sister Haylie,21, along with several girlfriends, dined at Katsu -Ya in Studio City recently. Big sister Haylie took charge and proceeded to order an assortment of sushi for the table and a round of sake for everyone. She made a point of adding “everyone EXCEPT Hilary , that is.” Hilary didn’t care. She has bigger things on her mind. Like her boyfriend Joel Madden. His band Good Charlotte hasn’ t had much financial success for the past two years and insiders say it’s jeopardizing their relationship.
