LINDSAY WITH A GUN?!

I think Lindsay Lohan’s officially gone off the deep end. There’s a picture of her posted on Twitter with a gun to her mouth. She insists it’s for art purposes, shot by celebrity photographer Tyler Shields, for a new book called The Dirty Side of Glamour. Needless to say, NO ONE believes this is where it ends.

KATE NOT SELLING BOOKS

Hey Kate Gosselin’s new book, called I Just Want You To Know: Letters To My Kids ON Love Faith and Family, selling about as well as she danced on DWTS. It was released April 13th, and has only sold 10,000 copies. Apparently a book isn’t really a success until it’s sold 50,000 copies, they don’t even think that’s going to happen. Have we officially seen the tipping point for KG?

SUNDAY NIGHT ANIMATION

Kesha is going to be on the Simpsons Sunday night –well, in the opening credits, then Kanye will be on The Cleveland Show – playing a local rap star named Kenny West.

LOUIS BULLOCK!

Sandra Bullock is making major changes in her life. She tells People Magazine in an exclusive interview that she has filed for divorce from husband Jesse James, and that she's adopted a three-and-a-half month old baby boy named Louis Bardo Bullock.

Bullock's new son, Louis, was born in New Orleans. She tells People, "He's just perfect. I can't even describe him any other way. It's like he's always been a part of our lives." Bullock says she and James started the adoption process four years ago and actually brought the baby home in January, but decided to keep the adoption a secret until after the Oscars. However, ten days after the Oscars, Bullock and James separated. She says she's now going to finalize the adoption as a single parent.

AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON IS...

People magazine has once again compiled its annual list of Most Beautiful People- it’ll be on sale Friday but I’ll tell you a few: Adam Lambert, Robert Pattinson, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. Well – his hair made the issue. He also includes the instructions to get the coif. "Five minutes, whatever shampoo and conditioner is in the hotel, then blow dry” and pose.
A-List “What Makes You Feel Beautiful?”, Mane Men, Next Generation, No Makeup, People of the Year, Beautiful Jessicas.

FOX WANTS FOXX

By now, even your neighbor has probably been mentioned as a possible replacement for Simon Cowell when he leaves Idol at the end of the season. Wanna know though – who they are SUPER close to landing? Jamie Foxx- with 2 xx’s. Yep – a "high-level music industry source" says that’s who they REALLY want because of his music biz cred. Oscar, piano since age 5, plus all the movies. He’s also VERY close with Fox business wise, having just sold them a pilot for a sketch variety show. The final outcome will take a while though…

IS MICHAEL SCOTT LEAVING?

E! Online reports, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) might be leaving Dunder Mifflin – he told BBC radio that his contract runs through next season, but “I think that’ll probably be my last year”.

DH COMING TO AN END...

Another potential “coming to end” – Desperate Housewives. ABC may only keep it on for 2 more years. (8 seasons total).

WHO'S COMING OUT?

BIG NEWS- People magazine has the exclusive on a celebrity who will be coming out on the May 5th cover, followed by a press tour of several major talk shows, including The View. Who could it be? Their tipsers claim that publicist Howard Bragman is behind the coming out party – he’s orchestrated similar “outings” for other celebs (including Chastity Bono turning into Chaz). I bet it’s Anderson Cooper, Kevin Spacey, JC Chasez from NSYNC, Queen Latifah- and has a movie hitting theatres May 14th.

BRET MICHAELS SETBACK

Bret Michaels has suffered a setback in his recovery from the brain hemorrhage. A side effect known as hyponatremia, in which a lack of sodium in the body can lead to seizures. On the bright side, he’s in really good spirits and is responding well to tests and treatments, so they’re hopeful. Weeks to months… they will release additional information on Monday.

MAYER THE TWITTER QUITTER

John Mayer is canceling his Twitter account – which has 3 million followers. He thinks it’s OVER and everyone should just move on with their lives. I’m also hearing though, that he is having a hard time focusing because everyone hates him and the only real reason we Tweet is to seek other’s approval. He can’t take it anymore because no one’s laughed at him. Oh John.

ANOTHER SMURF CASTING

Pee Wee Herman/Paul Reubens has been just been cast as Jokey Smurf in the upcoming live action/computer animated 3D movie The Smurfs. Let’s add him to the growing list that includes Neil Patrick Harris, George Lopez, Quentin Tarantino and Katy Perry.

BRET MICHAELS UPDATE

Bret Michaels is still in critical condition, he had a brain hemorage last week. The last official update says that he’s still in ICU and under 24hr surveillance. They’re doing a ton of tests this week to locate the source of the bleeding. A neurologist has weighed in, saying that smoking, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and high blood pressure COULD be the contributing factor…

BIEBS IS HITTING PUBERTY!

Puberty is taking its toll on Justin Bieber's live shows - the Canadian pop sensation is struggling to sing for fans because his voice is breaking. The 16 year old, who was offered a record deal after posting videoed performances on YouTube.com, admits he often fails to hit the high notes during his concerts.

He says, "It cracks. Like every teenage boy, I'm dealing with it and I have the best vocal coach in the world. Some of the notes I hit on (hit track) Baby I can't hit anymore. We have to lower the key when I sing live."

SHATNER - THE NEW GOVERNOR GENERAL

William Shatner is the focus of a Facebook campaign in which fans are attempting to get the Montreal native appointed to the 5yr ceremonial position of Governor General. The group currently has 35,000 people who agrees that "It's time for Canada to boldly go where no country has gone before." (the position is currently occupied by Governor General Mikelle Jean – her term expires in the fall).

He Tweeted- “I'm being drafted by various groups to run for Governor General. Would they accept me if I campaign for salmons' rights?”

THEN - His Vulcan friend, Leonard Nimoy, advised Shatner to take the offer seriously. He tweeted, "Bill: You're being considered for Governor General of Canada. Do it!! Finally a chance to do something w/your life." Nimoy added, "Bill: Outgoing Mayor of Calgary said I should run for the office. Me as Mayor and Shatner as Governor General!!"


CHARLIE SHEEN TO BE REPLACED?

If Charlie Sheen does in fact leave Two and a Half Men, the rumor is his uncle, actor Joe Estevez is apparently ready and willing to take his place. He’s pitching the idea to the show’s creator that Charlie Sheen’s character has gone missing or has traveled overseas and Joe Estevez would play the role of his uncle. And that he’d save the show for the good of the family. Joe Estevez is the younger brother of Martin Sheen and uncle of Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen (in over 200 movies).


MAN...I FEEL LIKE A MENTOR!

Shania Twain will guide and mentor the Top 6 on Idol tonight – they all have to sing her songs…which some are saying is going to be a giant bomb.

OH PULLLEASE....

The Hills is/are back tonight…final season to be filled with shocking confrontations, none of which we’ll be able to detect on Heidi’s frozen face.

ON DVD TODAY...

It’s Complicated with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus- As you know, Heath Ledger died in the middle of making the fantasy flick about a bad deal with the devil. Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell stepped in to play versions of Heath's character. It comes with interviews, a deleted scene and Ledger's wardrobe test.

THE HOLLYWOOD 360 WILL BE BACK ON MONDAY APRIL 26TH!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
NO PRE-NUP LARRY!

More on the Larry King divorce, he did NOT have a prenup with Shawn Southwick – he said because “She is a tall, good-looking blonde and that pretty much explains it.” – so…by California law, she gets half, and he’s made $56 million in the last 4 years on CNN and has a total net worth of about $144 million?!?!

BABY #7 FOR BRANGE?

Angelina Jolie is not having another baby. We’ve been hearing that baby # 7 is on the way, but a source close to the family is saying absolutely not true. Now – will they adopt again? Probably if Ange has her way…

BIEBS AND BUBES TO NFLD

He’s been on SNL, has a #1 album and the cover of People, now he’s headed to NFLD. Justin Bieber at the Junos. Nominated for 3 and performing. AUDIO. PS- next week he’ll be on Idol Gives Back. (Buble is up for the most, 6).

BRUCE WILLIS COLOGNE?

A German cosmetics company is developing a new fragrance- Bruce Willis cologne. There’s no name attached to it yet, but it’ll be in stores in July. I think this is getting a bit out of control.

JT AND JB...AND CD?

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have broken up – AGAIN, looks like he’s cozy with Cameron Diaz- who he used to date for 4 years, they’re making a movie together. How, here’s where it gets complicated - Alex Rodriguez from the Yankees, who broke up with Kate Hudson, has ALSO apparently been seeing Cameron since spring training but they’re keeping it quiet. I personally believe the A-Rod story, not so much the JT one. I hear his main goal is to concentrate on his movie career.

NUMBER 8 FOR LARRY KING

Well breaking news, Larry King is getting divorced from wife #8, claiming they just don’t get along but we’re also hearing it’s because he slept with her younger sister. He’s 76, you shouldn’t get along with anyone!!

BIEBER GROWS UP!

Finally, I have very exciting news, Justin Bieber was spotted at the Atlanta DMV, getting his license! He was with his Mom and got to jump the line…good thing he has it now, Usher gave him a Range Rover for his birthday March 16th. Oh and PS – Katy Perry and Russell Brand want to officially adopt him. How sweet, they’ll make a great family.

KE$HA WAS JFK?

KE$HA is getting famous for saying outrageous things in interviews. Case in point: her latest gem- “I went yesterday to my past-life regressionist [sic] and he told me that in my past life, I was assassinated. I'm pretty sure that I was JFK in a past life."

He says "In three months, I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters and now I'm headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly." – apparently he’s getting about $10 million per year from TBS, gets to shoot in LA and will have ownership, where Fox wanted him on at midnight, from NY.

TIGER WOODS BIZARRE AD

New Nike bizarre ad with Tiger Woods getting buzz. Started airing yesterday on ESPN, it’s everywhere today. 33 second black and white ad, narrated by Tiger’s late father Earl Woods (died in 2006). A somber Tiger staring motionless into a camera, the whole ad is his Dad asking Tiger questions (from the past, but they’ve made it look like it’s about Tiger’s life now). Tiger doesn’t speak. Nike supports the decision to come back to golf (clearly, cha ching) and the commercial will only until today at 4pm Eastern, a few hours after he tees off at the Masters.

O’s BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Oprah will announce today that she’s going to host an hour long nighttime talk show called Oprah’s Next Chapter (on her new cable network).

I so didn't need that info...yuck!"

DWTS THE BIG WINNER

Dancing With the Stars is the number one most watched show on TV right now (almost 23 million people in the states). Beating Idol, beating basketball, beating NCIS. Thank you Kate Gosselin (who ps made it through last night). Oh and after only one month, Leno is now once again beating Letterman (by a tiny margin). 4.9/3.7.

JIM AND JENNY SPLIT (with cash)!

After 5 years, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy broke up yesterday and announced it via their respective Twitter accounts. Word is, he gave Jenny a $50 million dollar trust fund last year to make sure Jenny and her little boy are taken care of. NO hard feelings, they say they’ll always be friends.

JESSE JAMES CHECKS OUT OF REHAB

Jesse James went to rehab March 26th, apparently he’s had enough though, he’s checked out of the Arizona facility saying he’s fine. A white moving van was spotted outside of his Orange County house, carrying a couch and boxes…apparently he’s staying at a friend’s house. And still denying everything. Everyone’s saying he only went cuz PR people “said that’s what you do” – but he thinks he’s ok.
I heard that he ONLY checked into rehab because the day before, they had a paparazzi incident where where he blocked an SUV and his friend broke windows while he threatened the photographer. It appeared that he may have been avoiding arrest. It’s possible that he worked out a deal to avoid arrest and then left.

TIGER TALKS...AGAIN

Tiger has his big press conference today at noon our time…he’ll be faced by 200 reporters and protected by an army of 82 private bodyguards, including former secret service and FBI agents as well as armed deputies. Team Tiger will be on the lookout for ANYONE who might try to jump in while he’s talking. A few of the women involved have threatened to picket the Masters with megaphones and if you know Tiger, he won’t even allow the sound of a camera clicking.

DWTS IS ROUGH!

DWTS is pretty hardcore. ESPN’s Erin Andrews is now getting death threats, Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysachek just broke 2 toes and Kate Gosselin plans to re-inact her break up with John, in tonight’s themed dance. Who said dancing was pretty?

Thursday, April 1, 2010

SJP IS ALIVE AND WELL

The latest celebrity death hoax-Sarah Jessica Parker dying in a fiery car crash yesterday. NO PEREZ HILTON, she did not. They’re considering pressing charges against him.

JUST WHAT JESSE NEEDS, MORE CONTROVERSY

Things keep getting worse for Jesse James. The latest is in US Weekly, Jesse wearing a German soldier’s cap posing as Adolf Hitler making a Nazi salute. I guess this is what you do when you party with a group of people after hours in your garage. Yah, it’s probably a good thing he’s in rehab- PS for 45 days minimum.

TIGER WAS A "CHEAPSKATE"?

New Vanity Fair article on Tiger Woods – some saying the most accurate to date. In it, it goes into great detail about his gambling habits, spending habits some say UBER cheap to all his girlfriends. According to ONE of them, the most elaborate thing he bought her was a chicken wrap from Subway (containing less than 5g of fat). It goes on to say that his best friend brokered all the deals and even tried to get Tiger to stop hanging out with Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley- bad influences. Finally, it kinda outs his late father as being a pretty heavy drinker.

(May issue of VF)

GAGA IS ACTUALLY...NORMAL?

Musicians can ask for anything they want on their concert rider. If you had to guess, would you think Lady Gaga’s is NORMAL? Surprisingly, the most exotic item listed – hummus and pita bread and a whole roast chicken. Oh she does get specific with the cheese plate though, it can’t be sweating.
