Giggly Gemma

New Bond babe Gemma Arterton chatted with the BBC about filming her love scene with 007, Daniel Craig for the next spy flick, Quantum of Solace. "I felt like a giggly girl, and I felt so young and inexperienced - but I kissed James Bond!," she gushed. About her role in the film, she said she’s "not so frolicksome," and her M16 character is "fresh and young, not sultry and a femme fatale"

Bynes no bad girl

It seems Amanda Bynes isn’t falling in with the young celebrity girls gone wild group just yet. The quirky actress, who starred in the TV series What I Like About You and such fun films as She’s the Man and What a Girl Wants, told Us Weekly she doesn’t guzzle the booze. “I don’t like to drink,” the 21-year-old said. “I have definitely stayed out of the party scene. I’ve been offered to go to those parties, but I feel like I would be the one who would die if I did something.” As for those who go the extreme opposite way, Bynes said: “I don’t know how they think they’re gonna live forever.”

Lohan diary

Rumour has it Lindsay Lohan is planning to publish her personal diary. According to HollyScoop.com, “Lohan wants to publish her diary, which will reveal intimate details about her rocky road to fame.” A source supposedly told OK! magazine that Linds "wants it to be reminiscent of Drew Barrymore's Little Girl Lost, which is about struggling with addiction as a child star." Hmm, where to begin with comments? First off, the chances of the “diary” being factually accurate are right up there with A Million Little Pieces. Second, how come this chick keeps comparing herself to others - I wanna be like Drew Barrymore, I want a director-actor relationship like Scorsese and DiCaprio – don’t you have any original ideas?

You need to check this out!

Keep you’re eye out for Colin Munroe, Canada’s up and coming musical genius. He’s already written, performed, arranged and produced his début disc, Don’t Think Less of Me, and for the release of that he’s teamed up with Grammy Award-winning producer Dallas Austin. Now he’s made a remix of Kanye West’s Flashing Lights (which Kanye featured on his website, check it out here).

Stars swearing off sex?

Lenny Kravitz claims he’s celibate, and has been for three years, cause he’s saving himself for marriage. "[It's] just a promise I made until I get married," the rocker, whose 19-year-old daughter may prove this inaccurate, told Maxim magazine, the New York Post’s Page Six reported. "Where I'm at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that's the way it's going to be. I'm looking at the big picture." Guess you can just call him “no lay Lenny” from now on. Another star said to be afflicted with celibacy is Pepa of Salt-n-Pepa, Sandra Denton. "Just because I'm flirtatious people think I'm loose. But it's not true," the rapper told Steppin' Out. "Truth be told, I haven't had any sex in two years... I need a guy to make me go 'Wow!' and I just haven't found that guy. My standards have gone way up... I'm not just jumping right in anymore." What ever happened to just finding a guy who made you wanna Shoop?

What’s your name again?

Sean Combs will be known as the man with a million monikers. It’s two decades into his career, and he’s already changed his stage name five times (for those who suck at math that’s a name flip once every two years). Apparently the Bad Boy for Life wants to be known as, Sean Jean (so he wants to be called by his clothing line name?). "I have always evolved and taken a different name each time," Combs was quoted by ContactMusic.com as saying. "It's nothing unusual where I come from. Right now I want to be Sean John because that's where I am." Let’s recap: he’s been known as Puff Daddy, Puff, Puffy, P Diddy, Diddy, and now Sean Jean can be added to the long list.

Smith supposedly has a weak-ass tolerance

Eva Mendes claims her Hitch costar, Will Smith, doesn’t have a tolerance for booze and gets crunked after just a few sips. "Will literally takes three sips and he's buzzed,” Mendes said about lightweight Smith. “It's not even like three sips of whiskey; it's literally a pina colada or a daiquiri - he loves girly drinks - and he's down."

Hilton helping Spears?

Britney Spears’s life is falling apart in front of the world, but her good ol’ bff Paris Hilton is there to vouch for her. "She's a very sweet girl and I love her to death," Hilton said in an interview with E! News, BreakingNews.ie reported. "I wish the best for her, and I just wish everyone would leave her alone so she could live her life... She's a great mother and a great girl, and I really care about her." Spears is currently fighting for custody of her children – 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James – who were decdme to be in better hands with their father, Kevin Federline. I’m sure Hilton prob meant to help, but as I told InsideEonline.com, I highly doubt the word of a previously imprisoned socialite will help her.

We’ll always heart you Heath

Tragedy has struck Hollywood again. Barely a week after the death of Brad Renfro, 25, Heath Ledger was also found dead. He was only 28. The Aussie actor’s rep and family are calling his death an accident, though an official cause has yet to be announced. A statement from the grieving family printed by People magazine read: “[Heath] was found peacefully asleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30 pm US time… Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him. He was a down-to-earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and selfless individual who was extremely inspirational to many. Please now respect our family's need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately.” Other Australian actors are speaking of their sorrow. "I had such great hope for him," Mel Gibson, who starred with Heath in The Patriot, said. "He was just taking off and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family." Nicole Kidman had similar sentiments: "What a tragedy, she said. “My heart goes out to his family."
I first fell in love with Heath Ledger in 1999 when he played the dark brooding hunk in the modern retelling of The Taming of the Shrew, 10 Things I Hate About You. After that he went on to win more hearts in A Knight’s Tale and then he stirred up controversy with his turn as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain (for which he earned an Oscar nomination). This summer will be the bittersweet release of The Dark Knight in which Heath played The Joker.
He will be missed.

Wickedest weapons

If it’s not one poll it’s another, but among the stupid surveys you’ll sometimes come across some fun ones. Like this one: best movie weapons! BreakingNews.ie reported on a poll of 2,000 UK film fans, which was conducted by 20th Century Fox, to find the fave movie weapon of all time:

1. Lightsaber (Star Wars)
2. .44 Magnum (Dirty Harry)
3. Bullwhip (Indiana Jones)
4. Samurai sword (Kill Bill)
5. Chainsaw (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
6. Golden Gun (The Man with the Golden Gun)
7. Bow and arrow (Robin Hood)
8. Machine gun (Scarface)
9. The Death Star (Star Wars)
10. Bowler hat (Goldfinger)

Also, Uma Thurman’s character in Kill Bill was named the favourite "weapon-wielding movie hero.” Go Uma!

Salma: got milk?

Salma Hayek is supposedly trying to pump out the pounds she gained during her pregnancy… literally. "Salma has been pumping and freezing endless amounts of breast milk,” a pal was quoted by Bang Showbiz as saying. “When she's not feeding [her baby girl] Valentina, she's hooked up to an industrial-size breast pump." That does not sound comfortable at all!

Matthew McSmelly

It’s well known that Matthew McConaughey doesn’t not favour deodorant. However, that stench was something his Fool’s Gold costar, Kate Hudson, had trouble handling. "Kate always bought a salt rock, which is a natural deodorant, and said, 'Would you please put this on?,'" McConaughey was quoted by Bang Showbiz as saying. However, the actor didn’t budge because he prefers to go au natural. "I grew up in the country and didn't wear shirts or shoes. My mother didn't even put a bathing suit on us in the country club until we were nine." Wait, what does wearing a bathing suit have to do with deodorant?

Did Nicolas Cage think he was Superman?

It seems like playing a superhero-type in Ghost Rider was something Nicolas Cage was born to do. “As a kid, I jumped out of my bedroom window to see if I could fly,” Cage told the UK’s Daily Mail. “I couldn't, but luckily I had the sense to put a mattress on the ground because my bedroom was pretty high up. I was about six years old and I did it quite a few times. Amazingly, my mother never caught me. As a child I was part daredevil, part dreamer, and I think I've always been the same as a man and as an actor. When I was young I spent a lot of time on my own just thinking or drawing or reading, and then I also had my wild side where I would dare myself to do things. I loved comics. I was completely drawn to the illustrations and the heroics of the stories.”

Buffy not being Britney

Sarah Michelle Gellar plays an out of control pop star in her upcoming flick The Air I Breathe, but she insists the character’s not based on Britney. “It wasn’t based on anybody in Hollywood, even if some things seem similar,” she told Parade magazine. “Honestly, without sounding corny, it gives you a sorrowful experience when you realize how lonely and how isolated these girls must be… At least that’s the insight that I got.” On the subject of Britney, Gellar seems sad. “It’s not something to joke about,” she said. “I’ve met Britney a few times and seen her perform. I think what has happened to her is heart wrenching. It’s really sad.”

Heath Ledger dead?

Breaking news: Heath Ledger has reportedly died. According to the New York Times, the Aussie actor was found dead in his apartment in New York City. "At 3:31 pm, a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr Ledger," the police were reported as saying by the New York Times. "The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near the??? body." Ledger, who starred in 10 Things I Hate About You and Brokeback Mountain, was only 28 and shared a young daughter with actress Michelle Williams.

Razzies noms are in...

It’s the opposite of the Oscars. The Razzies give awards for the worst movies of the year, and this year’s nominations have Lindsay Lohan’s I Know Who Killed Me in the lead with a whopping nine nods. On the Razzie site, it called I Know Who Killed Me a “Lindsay Lohan ‘vehicle’ that proved as dangerous for its star as any car she ever ran off the road.” The movie’s up for Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, Worst Director and Worst Screen Couple (this is a double nom for Lohan as she played opposite herself as twins… she was much better the first time she did this in The Parent Trap when she was young and still had potential). But that’s not all, in addition to the double couple nominations, each of Lohan’s twins are individually nominated in the Worst Actress category, this feat’s a first in Razzie history. Similarly, Eddie Murphy’s multiple characters in Norbit got nominations for Worst Supporting Actor, Worst Supporting Actress, Worst Actor and a double one in the Worst Couple category. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry was also in the mix, being nominated for Worst Actor (Adam Sandler), Worst Supporting Actor (the annoying Kevin James), Worst Supporting Actress (Jessica Biel) and Worst Screen Couple (Sandler and EITHER James OR Biel). Other noteworthy nominations includes the very diverse Nicolas Cage with a three-for-one in the Worst Actor category (getting nominations for Ghost Rider, National Treasure: Book of Secrets and Next). Jessica Alba got the same deal in the Worst Actress category (for Awake, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Good Luck Chuck) AND she also won a nod in the Worst Screen Couple category (with either Hayden Christensen, Ioan Gruffudd or Dane Cook).

Is there to be a ScarRy engagement?

Rumour has it Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson may have gone from being boyfriend and girlfriend to being fiancé and fiancée. The New York Daily News’s Ben Widdicombe said “Her rep is denying it, but a very good source tells me we can soon expect an engagement announcement from actors Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson. Mazel tov, kids!”

Hilton claims Harlow's, like, such a hot name

Paris Hilton has declared that her bff ‘s baby has “the coolest name ever.” Nicole Richie and Joel Madden decided to call their daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden. "It's the coolest name ever," Hilton told Us magazine. "I'm like, 'That is the coolest name, oh my God!' I wouldn't even think she would have thought of that. It's a beautiful name. Nicole is so into it... She always knows what's cool before it happens." Hilton’s not the only one harping about Harlow. The author of The Baby Name Bible, Pam Satran, told Us that "Harlow is the coolest glamour girl name." Now lets wait and see how many little Harlows will be running around over the next year or so.

Dirty Diddy

Sean Combs reportedly ruffled the feathers of some of his neighbours during the Sundance Film Festival as he partied pretty hearty. "We came back from Main Street to see cars packed on our property and numerous people being dropped off by taxis to his house,” a source was quoted by the UK’s Sun as saying. "It made it quite hard for other residents to drive down the road." However, not all sources sounded sour. “Diddy really knows how to throw a party, and his cabin is the place to be after hours at Sundance,” someone said. “There was some wild stuff going on inside, all the stuff you can imagine – like one of his videos. Some girls were stripping off and making out with each other. They’ve been real hot nights.”

Could dating Denzel’s daughter be dangerous?

It seems that Denzel Washington is just a normal dad who is protective of his daughters. While on the Late Show with David Letterman, the topic of his daughters’ dating came up. I hear it can be stressful to meet the father for the first time, add on top of that stress from the fact that he’s a two-time Academy Award winner (and remember the scary character he played when he won his last little golden man), then compound that by adding this image to the mix: “I basically come to the front door in my underwear. That’s all, like naked, my stomach out with a shotgun and a shovel. And I tell the young boy I’m not above using either one or these, or both,” he joked. “No, I don’t allow anyone near them. It is a double standard. With my boys I’m like, ‘That’s my boy.’ You don’t say that to my girl.”
So what does one deal with then dating his daughters? "My oldest daughter, who is going to kill me now for saying this, she has got a boyfriend, who is at the school where she is. He is evidently very bright, a nice young man, too many earrings for me,” Washington said. “I told him, ‘I’m not gonna be that friendly with you.’… I put my oldest boy on him. I said ‘put the fear of God into him. I said, ‘Kick him around a bit… Tenderize him. I’ll finish him off.’" And I just want to point out here that Denzel’s oldest boy, John David, is a professional football player with the St Louis Rams.

Not hunky enough for Halliwell

Geri Halliwell went to a fashion show but was disappointed by the puny male models walking the runway. She was hoping for some hunky eye candy. “So, Spice Girls have gone all fashionista darlings!!!,” she wrote on the Spice Blog. “It’s been wonderful collaborating with Roberto Cavalli on our tour wardrobe. We went to his Menswear fashion show on Monday. They flew us over in a private jet; it was such fun and glamourous, and the clothes were gorgeous. Okay, I have to be honest. I was hoping to check out the eye candy and stare at hot male models but they weren’t my cup of tea. I like my man to have bit more meat on his bones.” I hear ya Geri, I don’t like a guy who looks like I could snap him in two.

Lindsay Lohan sent to the morgue?

Lindsay Lohan was supposedly sent to the morgue, but don’t fret, she wasn’t wearing a toe tag. The trip, which was part of the punishment for a DUI, saw the starlette spend two four-hour days at the dead body bungalow as part of a court-ordered program, BreakingNews.ie reported. In another part of the program, Lohan will purportedly be placed in a hospital’s accident and emergency department to see what could come of her careless actions.

Gossip Girl gossip just gossip

Gossip on the Gossip Girl set: There were recent rumours that the onscreen romance between Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively and Penn Badgley may have moved offscreen. However, it turns out that’s just gossip and nothing more as Blake denied all. "Everybody always tries to dig into your personal life or create things that aren't there... It's silly," the actress told People magazine. "Any male friend is obviously a 'romance alert' [for the media], but I've always been friends with boys my whole life. " Too bad, they make a cute couple on the show.

Posh proud of Beck’s package

Just as Samantha was smitten with Smith’s giant underwear ad on Sex and the City, Victoria Beckham’s proud of her man’s large package. "I'm proud to see his penis 25 foot tall. It's great," the Posh tart told the UK’s Sun about David Beckham’s bulging bratwurst. "It's huge. It's enormous. Massive." The Spice Girl added, "If I looked like that I'd walk down the street in my panties too." However, that’s not a far stretch considering some of the skimpy outfits she flits around in look like lingerie.

Anderson eyeing lingerie line

Pamela Anderson has been photographed in sexy lingerie numerous times, and now she’s supposedly going to try her hand at making some. "I am going to sit back and create a line of lingerie and body products, products that are really sexy and things that I love to wear and my friends love to wear,” the booby blonde was quoted by BreakingNews.ie as saying. "I also want to do a show about creating those things." So, she’ll be like the kinky Martha Stewart of the bedroom?

Brit’s obit?

Watching Britney Spears completely falling apart in the spotlight it getting depressing. It’s like watching a trapeze artist with no net and knowing she’s going to fall, but not being able to get out of your seat to save her. There’s some sick site that’s offering a reward to whoever can guess the Toxic singer’s death. “We’ll all have a date with our maker someday, but like Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears just can’t seem to wait,” reads WhenIsBritneyGoingToDie.com. “A couple of years ago she looked stunning and was a wet dream for every man. But for some reason Britney also landed in a self-destruction derby. Guess her final breath and be crowned Mr or Mrs Death. Winner will be rewarded with a PS3.” Along a similar (but definitely not the same) vein is the Associated Press already working on her obituary, just in case. “We are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time,” AP entertainment editor Jesse Washington told Usmagazine.com. “I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now… Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now… but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared.” Spears will be hitting the spookily doomed age of 27 at the end of this year, let’s just hope she gets some serious help before she goes the way of Kurt, Janis, Jimi or Jim.

George Michael autobiographicizing himself

George Michael is reportedly going to put down the joint and pick up a pen to scribble a tell-all autobiography. "George has promised HarperCollins a no-holds-barred biography, and it's certain to be just that," Michael's manager, Andy Stephens, was quoted as saying by the BBC. "People aren't stupid. They're beginning to notice that the truth is more interesting than the stories the press come up with." Hmmm, so you mean we’ll find out the real reason why he was found passed out in cars not once, but twice.

Oprah taking O-ver the world?

Oprah, Oprah, Oprah. Wow. With more star power than L Ron Hubbard, Winfrey has successfully branded herself everywhere with her show, her book club (funny story about that later), her magazine, and now she’s going to launch The Oprah Winfrey Network so fanatics can get their Oprah fix 24/7. “Fifteen years ago, I wrote in my journal that one day I would create a television network, as I always felt my show was just the beginning of what the future could hold,” Winfrey said in a statement, People magazine reported. “For me, the launch of The Oprah Winfrey Network is the evolution of the work I’ve been doing on television all these years and a natural extension of my show.” Oprah’s taking over the world. Oh yeah, and here’s that funny Oprah’s Book Club story. My friend Emer Schlosser from InsideEonline.com was interviewing Scottish funnyman Billy Connolly a couple years ago at TIFF and asked him what his favourite book was and he told a story that went something like this:

“I went to buy Anna Karenina. And I nearly didn’t buy it because I was so angry. It said choice of the Oprah Winfrey book club. Fuck you! You know? How dare you? He was dead before Oprah Winfrey was fucking born. How dare you say it’s the choice of Oprah Winfrey… I think there’s a terrible arrogance. How dare you springs to the lips all the time. What is she, a school teacher or something? Fuck you! Who do you think you are? WHO EXACTLY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?”

Awesome, if I hadn’t liked Billy before, that cinched it!

Amy Manishevitz-house?

Amy Winehouse is purportedly prepping to make a holiday album with half Christmas songs, half Hanukkah songs. Uber-producer Mark Ronson, who’s collaborated with Winehouse before, told Rolling Stone magazine that, “we’re talking about making a holiday record, with Christmas songs on one side and Hanukkah songs on the other… She’s got songs called, like, Kosher Kisses and Alone Under the Mistletoe. She was kind of fucking around, but I was like, ‘You have all these amazing records to play for Christmas, like Motown and Carla Thomas and the Charlie Brown Christmas, and unfortunately, us Jews have nothing that cool to listen to. So we should do something.” Personally, I can't wait to hear what Kosher Kisses sounds like!

Jessica Alba’s pregnancy all about T and A

When Halle Berry talked about her pregnancy she discussed how she was all “aglow,” but when Jessica Alba talked about her pregnancy, she talked about T&A. "When you're pregnant, your breasts are engorged and your stomach is getting bigger. And the ass, too, that is getting bigger by the second!,” the actress was quoted by Bang Showbiz as saying. “But it's awesome. It's the best time ever."

Matthew McConaughey gunna be a McCona-daddy

Forget about going green, let’s just encourage beautiful people to keep procreating to make the world a prettier place. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (neither of which anyone in their right eyes would kick out of bed) did their thing, Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan did theirs, Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry chipped in, now Matthew McConaughey and his model girlfriend, Camila Alves, are doing their part. "My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together," the sexy Southerner said in a barely legible letter posted on his website. "It’s three months growing in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far. We are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being a mother and a father, and [shepherding] him or her through this life.” Congrats!

Brad Renfro, R.I.P.

Brad Renfro, one of my childhood crushes, passed away earlier this week at the young age of 25 from yet-to-be-known causes. Renfro, who starred in the movie adap of Grisham’s The Client and Tom and Huck with JTT in the mid ‘90s, was found not breathing by friends Tuesday morning (January 15). According to People magazine, Renfro’s pals called 911 and the paramedics declared him dead at the scene. Though the cause of death is not yet known, it has been known (rather publicly) that the former child star struggled with substance abuse. LA county coroner chief investigator Craig Harvey told People that an overdose is a "possibility considering his history, but right now all we have is the history of his drinking the previous night… All that we have is that he was last known to be alive during the morning hours and he was snoring." Renfro had a troubled life. He once tried to steal a yacht and was caught in a police sting that led to a felony charge for attempting to possess heroin. Renfro’s former defence attorney, Blair Berk (who’s also repped Lindsay Lohan and Mel Gibson), talked to People about the tragic death. "As critical and prescient as you become in this town, all I did was cry when I heard the news," he said. "I feel in some respects like we all failed."

Longoria’s not pregnant, she just packed on some pounds

Whether it be social etiquette or just plain manners, in the real world one wouldn’t normally ask a woman if she’s pregnant unless they know for sure. However, in the faux celebrity world, it’s apparently ok to make guesses willy nilly. Eva Longoria was the most recent victim of pregnancy rumours, but there's egg on those gossiper’s faces, as she’s not with child, she’s just gained weight (and I’m sure she’s glad you noticed and pointed it out). "No pregnancy, not yet," the Desperate Housewife said during an interview promoting her new flick, Over Her Dead Body, People magazine reported. "I've been cooking and eating, cooking and eating. I keep telling everyone that I've gained 10 pounds just being on strike."

Sevigny’s costar has Big Love for partying

Harry Dean Stanton supposedly has a Big Love for partying, so much so that he sometimes doesn’t recognize his Big Love costar, Chloë Sevigny. "The funny thing is, I'll see Harry Dean at whatever Hollywood-event, red-carpet thing, and walk up to him wearing some crazy, sexy dress, and he'll be shaking my hand and going, 'Now, who are you again?' He never recognizes me,” the actress told BlackBook magazine. “But, whatever, he's 86 years old. And he still likes to party... I think he comes to the set sometimes straight from the party."

Jenna Jameson closes her legs

Prolific porn star Jenna Jameson is reportedly retiring from the world of sex stars, hanging up her handcuffs and giving her beaver a break. "I will never ever spread my legs again in this industry, ever," Jameson announced at the AVN Adult Movie Awards in Las Vegas, the New York Post’s Page Six reported. During the last decade, Jameson has starred in such films as Private Parts, I Dream of Jenna, The Passion of the Christies, Zombie Strippers and Cum One, Cum All, and she will surely have hundreds and hundreds sand and horny fans.

One shot of Tequila is never enough

Tila Tequila, a pint-sized bisexual bimbette, had her own MTV Bachelor-style reality show, A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, However, like with the majority of The Bachelor cases, love was not found and now she’s serving up a second round of shots. “I thought I had finally found someone that I was compatible with, but I guess I was wrong,” Tequila wrote on her MySpace blog, People reported. “My hectic schedule was really hard on him and we both were getting frustrated, but at the same time… it’s too bad that things didn’t work out between us.” But that doesn’t mean she's giving up on love. Check out her romantic ramblings: “In my life I have seen it all. If God came down and granted me one wish, I would wish to find happiness and hold on to it forever and take it with me to my grave. All the money in the world, all the glitz and glamour of fame, could never amount to the joy that I feel when I am happy. I would give it all up; money, fame, success, in a second for the only thing in life that truly matters to me..... love. People tend to throw that word around loosely and amidst all the hustles and bustles of life....we forget how beautiful love really is. Life is not worth living without love and happiness. Love heals all. Love is a mysterious and powerful force that is the key to all that is...and all that ever was...” And the sappiness went on and on... for the rest of the mush check out her MySpace.

WAG reality?

Eva Longoria recently shelled out advice to Jessica Simpson via the media on how to handle dating a sports star. Considering the number of celebs who are dating or married to athletes, InsideEonline.com’s Emer Schlosser suggested someone throw all the WAG’s in a house and call it reality television. You got Eva Longoria (who’s married to basketball star Tony Parker), Jessica Simpson (who’s dating footballer Tony Romo), Victoria Beckham (married to the sexiest of them all, soccer star David Beckham), and then whichever blonde’s dating Sean Avery that week. It would be a full house that could possibly rival The Surreal World.

Matthew McCona-nude

In 1999 Matthew McConaughey was arrested for pot possession after being found banging his bongos in the buff (and that’s not a naughty metaphor, he was actually playing drums). The actor reportedly has no regrets about that, in fact, he thinks everyone should try it (the naked bongo bit, not the arrest and marijuana possession part). “I think everybody should do it at least 100 times," he told Playboy. "I’ve done it since, too. Oh yeah, bro, I love playing drums naked. Who doesn’t like comfort and music?” Who indeed!

Night of the Living Drew?

Proving she’s a regular human being just like, us and not a Hollywood femmebot, Drew Barrymore claims she has to deal with pesky zits too. "My only beauty recommendation is zit cream. I couldn't live without it. I get zits all the time and they annoy me more than anything else in the world. I've used every face wash, acne cream, everything," the actress was quoted by BreakingNews.ie as saying. "It's so funny because people say, 'You've got such great skin', and I'm like, 'Are you kidding?' I guess now I'm getting older I'm getting more wrinkles to go with the pimples. Sometimes now, I think I'm starting to look like something out of Night of the Living Dead!"

Kid Rock’s raunchy ruckus

Kid Rock has proved that money doesn’t buy moneymaker maturity (and neither does age cause the dude turns 37 on Thursday, January 17). While in a restaurant with a rowdy group of Jackass-like pals, Rock shelled out dough for those who took up his challenge to drinks condiments. "He was daring his friends to drink bottles of tabasco and barbecue sauce,” a source told the New York Post’s Page Six. “Two of his friends won $500 each." Sorry, but a whole bottle of hot sauce would cost a mighty more than $500.

Babies, babies, babies

Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie, who both looked like they were about to pop, finally did pop and two healthy babies popped out. A rep for Richie told People magazine that: "The beautiful healthy baby girl left the hospital with her ecstatic parents." Richie’s proud baby papa, Joel Madden, also gushed about the new arrival saying: "We are very blessed she's healthy and beautiful and so good already… We are very happy." That was Friday’s excitement. On Saturday it was the Dirrrty girl’s turn to welcome her bambino. "Christina and [her husband] Jordan [Bratman] are proud to announce the birth of their son Max Liron Bratman. He is a beautiful, healthy baby boy!" a rep told People. "Mom is resting and doing well!"

Golden Globe winners

There were no best or worst dressed, no long and boring acceptance speeches thanking people we’ve never heard of over interrupting music and no nasally Joan Rivers. There was just a press conference. That was this year’s Golden Globes. But whatever, this year actors with merit came out winners, and that’s all that really counts. I’m so ecstatic that Marion Cotillard won for her breathtaking portrayal of the tragic life of sensational singer Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose. Also scoring in the acting in musical or comedy category was Johnny Depp for his murderous barber in Sweeney Todd (which also won best film musical or comedy category). Other acting awards went to the incredibly talented Daniel Day-Lewis for There Will Be Blood, Julie Christie for Sarah Polley’s wonderful Away From Her, the sexy Javier Bardem won a supporting actor award for No Country for Old Men and Cate Blanchett won for the Dylan biopicish flick I’m Not There. Atonement (good book, personally haven’t seen the film yet) won best drama.
I was also excited for a lot of the boob tube winners. Ricky Gervais’s Extras, which won best television series musical/comedy, is one of the funniest shows (I love British humour), I also think 30 Rock is pretty freakin’ funny, so way to go Tina Fey for your best actress win. I also love Californication and Entourage, so I’m happy to hear that David Duchovny won best actor in a musical/comedy and Jeremy Piven won best supporting role in a series, mini-series or motion picture made for TV movie.

Bilson won’t bare all

Those fans of Rachel Bilson who’re itching to see her strip down on screen better get some hydrocortisone cause she ain’t dropping her drawers anytime soon. "Movies can be sexy or sexual without showing things," the former OC star, who almost didn’t sign on for The Last Kiss with Zach Braff because of the nudity in the film, told Playboy magazine (anyone find it odd she talked about not going nude while giving an interview to a nudie mag? Anyone?). "It's almost a deal breaker. The movie was rated R, and they like to put in nudity wherever they can, but I'm pretty strong willed and believe it can be avoided."

McKissin’ McDreamy

Last night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was intense. The show was narrated by Bailey, whose baby was in peril as was (as always) the relationship between McDreamy and Meredith. Seriously, this whole on/off, will they/won’t they?, Carrie/Big, love/hate, commitment phobic crap is getting annoying. Make up your freakin’ minds already. Last night, they apparently did, and McDreamy wasted no time moving on and onto Nurse Rose.
Lauren Stamile, who plays the new McInterest, claims she was nervous about locking lips with Patrick Dempsey. “Absolutely, I was nervous,” Stamile told Entertainment Tonight. “In fact, before the scene [which aired in an earlier episode], I had to come right out and say, ‘Patrick, I am so nervous, I am freaking out, I don’t really know what to do.’” However, she was freaking out for nothing. “It went really well,” she said. “He made it very fun for me. I made fun of myself. He made fun of me. We just laughed a lot. I think there’s a lot of pressure playing one of the most popular characters on TV, his love interest, or potential at least.” As for what she thinks about the Grey/McDreamy ordeal, she said: “It seems as if their relationship has veered off into the dysfunctional,” adding, “Sometimes when you take a break, you realize how much you miss them.”
Whatever, I consider the McDreamy/Grey relationship a lot like Carrie and Aidan’s from Sex and the City. It’s a case of an annoying, neurotic girl not being good enough for the cute, good guy.

Amy goes blonde

Amy Winehouse revealed a big change from her big black beehive: it’s gone. She was spotted with bleached blonde hair held down with a bandana-looking thing. "Amy decided she wanted to bleach her hair at the beginning of the week,” a pal of the Rehab singer told the UK’s Mirror. "She sees it as a new year and a new start. A change of image seemed a good way to mark it. She didn't do it herself. A hairdresser coloured and styled it. It hasn't been all cut off. She's still got long hair." As for what spurred the change, Winehouse simply said "I felt like it."

Trump’s cheap love?

Donald Trump, your reasons for liking someone are as awful as your hair. The Donald recently revealed why he changed his opinion of Kevin Federline. "I used to say terrible things about Kevin, but I saw him being interviewed once and he said his all-time hero was Donald Trump. That's why he started wearing suits. So I actually think he is a fantastic guy and a wonderful husband," Trump was quoted by OK! magazine as saying. Wow, so I guess a suit and sucking up is all it takes? Check out InsideEonline.com for what Trump had to say about Federslime’s babies’ mama, Britney Spears.

Supergrass’s painful pee

Supergrass bassist Mike Quinn had the worst trip to the washroom I’ve ever heard. It involved sleepwalking and falling through a window, and it resulted in a broken back. Apparently Quinn sleepwalked to a window on the first floor which, he proceeded to sleepfall through. "I needed a pee in the middle of the night. I wasn't drunk, I was just so sleepy I thought I was on the ground floor. What I thought was a glass door was a window," he told ITV Teletext. "The first I knew I was in trouble was when I was in mid-air." I've done silly things when I'm sleepy,but that sure does take the cake!

Hanks-y Panksy

Tom Hanks confessed that, like his character in Charlie Wilson’s War, he’s been in a hot tubs with naked chicks… well… sort of. "I've been in hot tubs with naked women before,” Hanks was quoted as saying by Bang Showbiz. “OK, they were my baby daughter and my wife! But it was great fun. That's the great thing about being an actor - you play characters [that you] have a little bit of something in common with, or you play characters you have nothing in common with at all. But hey, I'm a professional - I've never been a playboy and I've never had a taste for the life." Really, even back in your Big or Splash days you didn’t get down and dirty at the Playboy mansion or anything? Frankly Mr Hanks, I’m disappointed.

Good news for opera geeks

Very interesting news for opera fans: Hollywood heavyweights Woody Allen, David Cronenberg and William Friedkin will all be directing productions for the Los Angeles Opera during the 2008/2009 season. Allen and Friedkin (known foremost for the cult horror flick The Exorcist) will both be tackling Puccini’s Il Trittico (which is comprised of three, one-act operas). Woody will direct Gianno Schicchi while Will will take on Il Tabarro and Suor Angelica. The Canuck, Cronenberg, has the very interesting task of directing the American première of the operatic version of his 1986 flick The Fly. The LAO’s general director, world renown tenor Placido Domingo, expressed his enthusiasm: "I'm tremendously excited about our 2008/09 season because it is full of adventure,” he was quoted by the World Entertainment News Network as saying. “[It’s] the kind of musical and theatrical exploration, which appeals not only to established opera lovers but might be the right kind of lure for potentially new audiences."

Tara Reid doesn’t seem to understand her party girl rep

Tara Reid, are you really wondering why you got labelled a party girl? “What have I ever really done? Dance on a table? Who doesn’t drink with their friends and have a good time?,” the booby bimbo asked OK! magazine. “I don’t understand why people punish others for being happy. If I have a drink in my hand, it doesn’t make me an alcoholic. If I want a glass of wine, I want a glass of wine. I shouldn’t be afraid of it because of what the media might say. Anything you do, you’re screwed. That’s the lesson I’ve learned." I told InsideEonline.com that the actress-turned-party-gal should take a look at some of the paparazzi snapshots of her and maybe she can jog her memory about how she earned her rep.

Mr Blackwell's wicked worst-dressed list

It’s that time of the year again, bitchy Mr Blackwell releases his worst-dressed list and knocks the egos of some wannabe fashionista celebs down a couple pegs. Coming in at number one was Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham (who recently discussed her dreams of being a stylist, ouch). "Forget the fashion spice — wearing a skirt would suffice!,” Blackwell said. “In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em." Into second place - by a beehive - was Amy Winehouse (who, on a sorta related topic, recently just dyed her hair platinum blonde) of whom Blackwell wrote: "Exploding beehives above… tacky polka-dots below... she's part ‘50s car-hop horror." Of third place’s Mary-Kate Olsen, he simply said: "YIKES!,” adding, “In layers of cut-rate kitsch, Mary-Kate's look is hard to explain... she resembles a tattered toothpick trapped in a hurricane!" Fourth place’s Fergie had her fashion described as "Another style-free 'Fergie' in fashion's hall of shame? Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it's all in a name!" (love the rhymes!) She may be an American Idol, but a fashion idol Kelly Clarkson is not since she took a fifth place position. "Her heavenly voice soars above the rest... but those belly-baring bombs are hellish at best! She may be the queen of 'ProActive' — but that wardrobe looks downright radioactive!" In sixth was Bond babe Eva Green who was apparently "Stuck in neon nightmares not fit for the sane. Fashion this loud could give Bond a migraine! A profusion of confusion from toes to nose!" Canuck Avril Lavigne landed in seventh and earned the comment: "Gothic makeup courtesy of the mad spatula — Fashions provided by... The house of Dracula!" Next came Jessica Simpson who was warned to: "Forget the Cowboys. In prom queen screams, can it get any worse? She's a global fashion curse!" The penultimate position went to Lindsay Lohan: "Lindsay the fashion frenzy strikes again! Lohan takes fashion to a new low." And last but not least, Alison Arngrim: "Little Nellie of the prairie, looks like a 1940's fashion editor for the Farmer’s Almanac." However, o be fair to Arngrim, she did grow up playing Nellie on Little House on the Prairie, the fashion (or lack there of) was bound to rub off on her. But the piece of news that’s getting as much if not more coverage than people who actually landed on the list, is that Britney was spared. “For those of you who were expecting to see Britney's name adorn the 2007 list, I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval,” Blackwell said. “I hope 2008 is a better year for her.”

Dancing with the Poles?

Dancing with the Stars are set to take off on their annual tour, but this year there’s going to be something new in the act: POLES! DWTS’s choreographer and pro dancer Louis van Amstel told TVGuide.com about the pole-iffic addition: “It's going to be completely different. We're not using one piece of music from the prior tours. And we're building something I've been wanting to build for years: dancing with poles. It's not based on striptease. It's more based on skillful dancing with fun and wit between the poles. That will be a big treat. I want to jump on those poles!” I bet you do, Amstel, I bet you do.

Dita calls Brits kinky

Dita Von Teese may be responsible for bringing burlesque to the forefront this century, but she credits the brazen Brits for getting down and dirty last century. "I love being in London because it has a great history of burlesque," she told Highlife magazine. "One of the great pioneers at the turn of the last century was a group called Lydia Thompson and her British Blondes. They were the first girls to wear fishnet tights and lift their skirts and, by all accounts, they were very sexy in their G-strings." And there goes Family Guy busting British not-so-blue-balls for being prudes in their British porno gags. "The British are really quite kinky!," Von Teesed.

Snoop’s double-Dogg standards

In Snopp’s Doggy Dog World, his kids – 13-year-old Corde, 10-year-old Cordell and 7-year-old Cori – can have a rapper for a father, but they better forget about rapping themselves. "As they get older, my kids can travel with me much more," the Doggfather was quoted by BreakignNews.ie as saying. "What would I say if one of my kids wanted to be a rapper? Fuck no." Which is too bad, can you imagine the group names they could come up with? C+C+C Music Factory, Cordé Cori Cor, Pound Puppies (remember those cute little toys with the velcro tummies?), etc…

Paris patronized pint-sized Pesci

Paris Hilton put her stiletto in her mouth again when she recently ran into Joe Pesci and decided to dole out career advice. Apparently the celebutard went up to the pint-sized Pesci and proceeded to tell him she loved him in The Godfather, or so says the UK’s Daily Star. After trying to correct her, suggesting she may be thinking of Goodfellas (you know, a movie he actually appeared in), she blamed him for the mix up because he hadn’t stayed in the spotlight enough by appearing in mainstream movies like Home Alone. A source said Pesci “was literally speechless when Paris advised him to do another mainstream movie. The first two Home Alones came out when she was a little girl, so she was a big fan. But Paris clearly didn’t have a clue about his legendary silver screen status. The room gnawed their fists in a collective cringe.” The source added: “It was just another example of Paris’s giant ego and tiny brain. But unintentionally she put a smile on Pesci’s face as he left the restaurant. He thought she was funny.”

Let’s compare careers, shall we? Joe Pesci has an Academy Award, Paris Hilton has a Razzie; Joe Pesci has starred alongside such fine actors as Robert De Niro (Raging Bull), Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, Sissy Spacek, John Candy, Kevin Costner (all in JFK), Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie (The Good Shepherd), while Paris Hilton has starred under Rick Salomon in 1 Night in Paris and alongside Carmen Electra (Pledge This!), Jason Mewes (Bottoms Up), Elisha Cuthbert and Chad Michael Murray (House of Wax); the name of Joe Pesci’s next flick is Love Ranch and costars Helen Mirren while one of Paris Hilton’s next movies is called The Hottie and the Nottie.

The Pitt Museum of Fine (Art? Body? Man? All of the above?)

Ever look at Brad Pitt and find yourself thinking you could spend all day staring at that fine sexy specimen? Was it ever since you first saw his shirtless in Thelma and Louise? Me too. Those glorious daydreams may one day become a reality. Hallelujah. Rumour has it his hometown is thinking of erecting a museum dedicated to him. Pitt’s pals, Don Cheadle and George Clooney, seem to support such a mission. “I would run tours. I would allow myself to be ensconced in wax. I would do whatever it takes to see that the Brad Pitt museum is a 100% success,” Cheadle told Extra. Clooney added: “I’d pay a good $4.50 to go to that museum."

Heigl’s hellish honeymoon

Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley began their marriage on rocky terrain… which hopefully will lead to a smoother, paved path. The first disaster (and possibly a reason to refrain from winter weddings), happened when the wedding rings went missing. "[Kelley] lost his wedding ring 24 hours after the wedding in the snow, in Utah," the Knocked Up star told Extra. "But my brother found someone with a metal detector and they found it!" The newlyweds then hit another bump when it came to riding off into the sunset for their romantic honeymoon. "He says, 'Do you have your passport?' And I went, 'No,'" she said. "We had to go back to LA to get it!" However, once there in one piece, the honeymoon had its ups. "Ahhh, the Piña Coladas!" the Grey’s Anatomy star told People magazine. "Oh my God, Cabo! The Esperanza [resort] and Piña Coladas – it doesn't get a lot better."

Desperate Deeley

Cat Deeley, the blonde Brit with the lopsided smile (or is it a crooked nose? I can never quite figure it out no matter how much I tilt my head) who hosts the best reality show in the history of reality shows, So You Think You Can Dance, supposedly sucks when it comes to finding a fella. According to the UK Sun, when asked by New! magazine if she’d filled the position of new American boyfriend now that she’s on this side of the pond, she replied: "No. But there are plenty to choose from, which is good. It's a much bigger country than the UK, so slowly and surely I will work my way through them all." When the mag suggested men should be drooling over her accent, she said: "I hope so. Put in a good word for me, I'm single - and desperate!"

In the Name of the Krap: A Dreadful Shit Tale

When a movie’s blasted by one of its stars as being dreadful, it’s gotta be pretty bad. Apparently the upcoming Uwe Boll flick, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, couldn’t be saved by Jason Statham’s muscles, Leelee Sobieski’s boobage, Burt Reynolds’s mustache or Ray Liotta. Matthew Lillard, who also appears in Boll’s next videogame adaptation (the crazy German director previously made equally alarmingly awful movies including House of the Dead, BloodRayne and Postal), made no attempt to hide his distaste for the film while talking to Parade magazine. "It's unwatchable," he said. "It's an abomination, it's high-disaster in spite of the all-star cast," Possibly to add some sort of positive spin, Lillard added: "I love Boll to pieces, he's a great guy, and if he ever hears this, I'm gonna get in trouble because he challenged some reviewers who didn't like one of his movie to a boxing match. He may be the worst director in the world, but he's a lot of fun."
InsideEonline.com’s Eric McBain, who had what some might call the misfortune of sitting through the entire flick, said: “I will forever be haunted by the Oscar worthy performance Burt Reynolds puts on as the king on his deathbed (in a black t-shirt) revealing that the secret of the good soil is the seaweed.” Again, wanting to say something positive, Mr McBain added: "Medieval ninjas = awesome!" Evan Kaminsky, also from InsideEonline.com and also unfortunate enough to have sat through the flick, said: “There are just so many things wrong with the movie that I couldn't possibly sum it up in one quote, and you can quote me on that,” adding, “the fact that I was on mushrooms didn't make the movie any better.”

Mariah speeding up her dating?

Mariah Carey should change her tune to We Belong Together… But Only for 15 Minutes. The diva is dating speed style, supposedly. “I really like the idea of speed dating. I like the idea of 15 mini-relationships each lasting three minutes and then you go home alone,” she was quoted by Bang as saying. “What is a date supposed to be like in the 21st Century? It's a bit old-fashioned and formal for me. I mean, I don't need to know if the guy can afford to buy dinner, do I? 'With me it just moves from hanging out with a guy to them becoming my boyfriend without too much hassle.”

Madonna kareokes Maharaja

Some send thank you notes, other bring flowers or maple syrup, but Madonna apparently opted to sing karaoke as her way of thanking an Indian Maharaja for his hospitality during her recent visit to India. "It was great to be in royal company,” the Material Girl was quoted by BreakingNews.ie as saying. “[My children], Lourdes and Rocco, were in awe of him - they kept hugging him. It was fabulous, we sang karaoke for him." And it seems she may have been bitten by the bindi bug. "Indian music is very groovy,” she said. “I might release a fusion track."

Ashanti no Asluti

Ashanti is apparently worried people might think she’s a skank after they see her in Resident Evil: Extinction. “I don't want to come off as a slut bucket. I'm not that chick, but I am a woman," the 27-year-old singer was quoted as saying by the UK’s Mirror. Hmmmm, wonder what she does in the movie to warrant that no-hoochie-warning?

Poisonous Paris

Paris Hilton seems to have another wrecked soul to notch onto her belt. After appearing to be a bad influence at the beginning of Britney Spears’s out of control downward spiral (which is turning out to be more like a plummet beyond rock bottom), it looks like she’s leading Kelly Osbourne down a similar path. According to the New York Daily News’s Rush & Molloy, on the way out of Vegas’s Noir, Osbourne was heard telling some peeps that "[Paris] gave me my first alcohol poisoning!" Something to be proud of. NOT! Damn, I not-ed too soon. The celebutard’s response was reportedly a giggly: "I did?! That's hot." What? Since when is poisoning someone hot? What planet are you from?

DiCaprio’s remote controlled porcelain thrown

I guess when you’re loaded you get tired of showing your wealth off with fancy clothes, cars and multiple houses and villas. So where do rich people turn? Toilets. That’s right, I’ve heard of a prince or sultan who had a gold toilet seat. Sounded like extreme extravagance to me. But now movie stars seem to be flushing the same route. Will Smith raved about his paperless loo. Now Leonardo DiCaprio one-uped him by buying a commode that’s not only paper free, but remote control operated. Now any of his line of model girlfriends won’t have to complain about him leaving the seat up. This toilet seat automatically goes up when he approaches, and automatically goes back down a few seconds after he’s done. And if that wasn’t sweet enough, it also comes equipped with a built-in deodorizer for those less than fresh dumps. "Leo loves his new toilet," a pal told the UK’s Daily Snack. "It's more like a toy since it has a remote control." A toy toilet, what will they think of next?

Kudos to Cloverfield

Finally, a film trailer that doesn’t give away the entire plot! Thank-you JJ Abrams. The brainchild behind the cult show Lost is promoting his new horror flick, Cloverfield, and has, in my opinion, the best trailer I’ve seen in a long time. These days I find that movie trailers tell the entire plotline to the point that there is no point in going to see the movie anymore. So kudos, Abrams, way to go. Check out what I’m talking about here and then check out the movie when it hits theatres January 18, if only just to support the non-giveaway trailers!

Lohan’s triple tongue tango

Like Carmen Sandiego, I’ve been asking myself where in the world is Lindsay Lohan? The tartlette’s been laying low as of late but she seems to have decided to make up for lost time by kissing not one, not two, but three guys in the span of 24 hours. According to the UK’s Daily Mail (who has a lovely selection of photographic evidence as well as mugs shots of the men here), la-la-la-Lohan was in Capri for a film fest when she met her first victim. Alessandro Di Nunzio, a waiter, went from a number exchange to a saliva exchange. Then she played tonsil hockey with an older Italian actor who the Mail identified as Eduardo Costa (in which case he’s pretty low pro, however, it could be a typo and be Edoardo Costa who was some dude named Emerson in Live Free or Die Hard). And finally there was another Italian actor, Dario Faiella (said to be the son of some Italiano music man named Peppino di Capri), who took the top prize and got to go back to her hotel where he was snapped shirtless on her balcony. Lohan, you saucy little minx!

Knocked Up star wants to get knocked up

Knocked Up’s Katherine Heigl is apparently feeling broody and ready to star popping out the babies. "I'd like to start talking children seriously in the next year, but Josh feels more like two years, so we'll probably do a year and a half,” Grey’s Anatomy’s Izzie, who recently wed singer Josh Kelley, was quoted as saying by the World Entertainment News Network. “I'm excited about having a big family. I'm talking five or six." I told InsideEonline.com that I think Heigl might be trying to compete with Justin Chambers, her Grey’s costar who already has five kiddies.

Ripper war?

Paris Hilton and Britney Spears could be headed toward a cataclysmic catfight by stepping on each other’s turf if they both open their own strip clubs in Sin City. “Britney was excited about this project for months and is really pissed with Paris that things have come to this,” a source told the UK’s Daily Star. “And that’s even before she heard Paris has been partying with Kevin [Federline]. Britney has always thought of stripping as a bit like art – as a skill. So when some Vegas-based developers approached her about investing money into three exclusive strip joints, which she wants to call Toxic Heaven, she jumped at the chance. But then Paris heard about the plans through her younger sister Nicky, who is a hotelier, and jumped on the bandwagon. She [was] wanting to open her own strip joints, calling them Shagadillic. Paris is now in talks with business developers about the idea and wants to involve Nicky to keep it within the family. She thinks they can trounce Britney.” Oh yeah, and the icing on the cake: it was purportedly Paris who taught Spears to strip in the first place. Ha!

Stop! It’s Hammer time… again!

Here Comes the (MC) Hammer again but this time he’s not on your radio, he’s heading to the Internet with the website DanceJam. "There is no high-tech lingo or business strategy that you can talk that is above my head. I breathe this stuff," the has-been-who-is-trying-to-be-again told the Associated Press. U Can’t Touch This, but you can watch the homemade dance vids that’ll appear on his site that’s comparable to YouTube (which he allegedly hopes to rival). However, Forrester Research’s James McQuivey said: "When people are looking for any video, whether it be about skateboarding, dancing or a science project, they don't stop to think about where's the best place to find it… They just start off by going to YouTube." Like the Evolution of Dance, my personal favourite (click here to see it). Sorry Hammer, it may be 2 Legit, but I think you should Quit!

Chris Rock burns Britney

Comedian Chris Rock rocked Britney Spears when he humoured thousands at his New Year’s Eve performance. "Britney Spears, boy,” Rock said while starting in on the Toxic singer, the New York Post’s Page Six reported. “Even OJ kept his kids, and he even killed their mother… Britney went and messed up her dance moves at the MTV awards and they took her kids away. Go rehearse and get your kids back." Rock on Rock!

Hudgens hopes fans will learn from photo scandal

Teenybopper idol Vanessa Hudgens had some pics slip on the Internet last year that would have totally landed her on Santa’s naughty list. "It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened," the High School Musical star told Seventeen magazine about the nudie pics. "I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions." Seriously, be more careful with your private pics and always erase evidence when done!

Celebs disclose their “New Year’s Resolutions”

Every year stars spew their silly new year’s resolutions: I’m going to do more the environment, I’m going to eat healthy, I’m going to win an Oscar, blah, blah, blah. Now, finally, there’s a compilation of freakin’ funny resolutions on the fabulously funny site FunnyOrDie.com. The Black Eyed Pea’s humpalicious Fergie declared she’d try to be less Fergalicious. "It's kind of old now,” the singer said of her answer to Beyoncé’s Bootylicious. "People have said it, they've gone into Burgerlicious, and all these things. It's so over, so last year. New year, new word. I've got to figure the new word out. But it will come, it will come." That ‘70s Show’s Mila Kunis said she’s "going to start dating more, because my kids need a new dad." (Wonder what her former child star boyf, Macaulay Culkin, will think about that.) Will Ferrell, one of the freakin’ funny masterminds behind the stoopidly funny site, announced: "My New Year's resolution is to get at least 13 hours of sleep a night, regardless of what sort of job or family or life commitments I have, but to really be consistent about that." Now that’s a resolution I can dig!

Puh-leeze Posh

Victoria Beckham tried to claim she’s not a media whore who craves the spotlight like a fat kid does Smarties. "[My family spends] a lot of time socializing at home so we don't get photographed… I couldn't live a life where I was under the spotlight everyday," Posh told Extra. "If you look at someone like Britney Spears, I couldn't do that. I've got to have my privacy at home with my husband and my children otherwise,I'd end up going loopy." Of course if one had a hubby like David Beckham they should want to stay home (and in bed), but it seems like there’s a Beckham, like, all the time (plus their appearances in rag mags seem to be on par, if not more frequent than the Toxic singer). And if anyone saw her show, Victoria Beckham: Coming to America (which, by the way, was awesome!), they would have seen someone who seems to love hamming it up for the camera.

Kim Kardashian and her awesome Oreo

Kim Kardashian may seem slightly useless, being known mainly for of partying, for her sex tape with Ray J and being friends with Paris Hilton (all things to be proud of), but she may have something to contribute to the repertoire of junk food junkies. While talking to People magazine she mentioned a tasty treat that sounds like it could be sinfully delicious: a deep fried Oreo. "There's nothing even remotely healthy about that, but it's so, so good," she said. Ohmygawd! I’ve had deep fried Mars bars, but this brings deep fried foods to a whole new level! Kudos Kim!
