ex-bachelor taking donald trump's leftovers

according to in touch magazine:

Donald Trump’s ex has fallen for Bachelor star Andy Baldwin. The handsome Navy doctor, 30, and former beauty queen Marla Maples, 44, first met back in September at a charity event in LA. They reunited in New York City over New Year’s weekend, where they were spotted holding hands and cuddling. “Marla is a great woman and I can’t wait to spend more time with her in the future,” Andy reveals exclusively to In Touch. “She’s smart, sexy and very genuine.” Donald and Marla’s daughter, Tiffany, joined them for dinner at Serafina. They spent December 30 holding hands while skating at the Wollman Rink, which had been developed by The Donald.

ugh, seriously? didn't he watch "ex wives club" on nbc? doesn't he realize she is one angry cougar? and seriously, do you want to stick your ding dong where donald trump's peepee has been?

morning bits & buzz

i stand by my statement that suri cruise is the cuteset of all the celebribabies. readers of us weekly disagree (violet affleck is soooo not cuter!).

pete wentz apparently has enough hoodies to last him "everyday for two years" and a bunch of other unbelievable nonsense comes out of his mouth.

i have to say this is one of my favorite re-cast challenges...buzzsugar reveals a "new and improved" cast of full house.

tv squad reports that david brent and garith ricky gervais and mackenzie crook will sing "free love freeway" at the concert for diana this weekend.

it looks like lindsay has gained a few pounds around the waist area while in rehab (yesssssss!).

spice up your life

forget about the (not so shocking) news that eddie murphy is indeed the father of melanie brown's (aka scary spice) baby.

i'm more excited at the possibility of a spice girls reunion...for realsies. apparently there's going to be a "big announcement" next week. so stay tuned!

julia roberts adds baby boy to kid collection

according to people magazine, julia roberts gave birth to a baby boy today.

Julia Roberts has welcomed her third child, a boy named Henry Daniel Moder. Henry was born Monday in Los Angeles and weighed 8½ lbs. "The Moder family is doing great," Roberts's rep, Marcy Engelman, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

congrats.

shar jackson is NOT pregnant (we hope)

this morning, the ny post's cindy adams "reported" (i use that term loosely) that kevin federline was going to be a dad again. apparently shar jackson is said to be 7 weeks pregnant.

in a battle of the gossip rags, us magazine retaliated with an official statement from shar jackson herself, denying any pregnancy rumors. according to her rep (she has representation?), "it is not even remotely true."

i don't know why some people are in a hurry for kevin federline to create more spawn and bring them into this world. as far as i know, he doesn't have a job, he's divorced, and has four kids. i'd say he should worry about all that first before having another baby. and perhaps focus on getting another sugar mama.

whoopi to join the view?

according to star magazine, it looks like abc has decided to offer whoopi goldberg a spot on the view.

whoopi has an impressive resume, including a tony, emmy, and oscar win under her belt. not to mention that she's the host of a daily radio show in the morning. also, rosie has endorsed whoopi as a suitable replacement for her on her blog.

no official announcement has been made. but something tells me it won't be nearly as big as the media frenzy as when rosie was hired.

paris to barbara: "i will never again drink and drive"

this morning on the view, barbara walters spoke with kathy hilton (mom of jailbird paris hilton) when paris herself rang on the other line and asked to speak to barbara.

now i haven't watched the view today, but here's a transcript of what paris told wawa:

On life after jail: I want to do different things when I’m out of here. I used to act dumb. It was an act. And that act is no longer cute. It’s not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I’m 26-years-old and it’s a different time.

On finding God: I’ve become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance. My spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen and that is why I was sent to jail. God has released me.

On future projects: Hilton would like to help in the field of breast cancer [her maternal grandmother suffered from the disease]) or Multiple Sclerosis [her paternal grandmother was afflicted with the illness]. She might get toy companies to build a Paris Hilton playhouse for children, where sick children might come.

On passing the time behind-bars: Walters said Hilton has been reading newspapers like the LA Times and The Wall Street Journal. She is also reading books like The Secret, The Power of Now and The Bible. On learning her lesson the hard way: I will never again drink and drive.

i'm not sure what my favorite part is...when she said she "acted" dumb and that 26-year old girls don't do that....that she reads the WSJ...that she's found God...or that she's reading the secret. even from behind bars she has found a way to annoy me.

my week is now complete

this photo needs no explanation. it speaks for itself.
i love the judge who made her serve the rest of her sentence in jail.

disappointing news of the day

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hotel heiress Paris Hilton was let out of prison early on Thursday morning and will spend the rest of her sentence for violating probation confined to her home, the Los Angeles sheriff said.
She was fitted with an electronic monitoring device on her ankle and sent home, where she will be confined for 40 days, said Steve Whitmore of the L.A. County Sheriff's office.
He said the decision was made for medical reasons.

SERIOUSLY? MEDICAL REASONS? like what? genital herpes? anorexia? ugh.

so much for 23 paris-free days.

vanessa minnillo like you've never seen her

everyone knows three things about vanessa minillo:
-she was a former miss usa (or something)
-she hosted TRL on MTV
-none of that mattered until she started dating nick lachey. and even then, she's still sorta irrelevant

so between being a former beauty queen, an mtv vj, and dating a jessica simpson's ex, it's no surprise that she hob knobs with other celebrities, right?

it is surprising however when a picture like this (left) surfaces. according to the ny post, it might cost her any prospective jobs.

something inside me says i should feel sorry for vanessa. but then i come to my senses and say "there should be consequences for hanging out with lindsay lohan."

the day is finally here...

...paris hilton has finally gone to jail.

let's look at this mugshot though. i thought she was going to have her extentions taken out (cause she had to, not cause she had a choice)? and all this make up. i was really hoping for an au naturel mug shot.

all of that aside, paris hilton finally surrendered herself to authorities. that is of course after an afternoon of partying at the mtv movie awards. too bad people were making numerous jokes at her expense and cheering on the fact that she would be going to jail in a matter of hours.

let's hope this is the beginning of 23 paris hilton-free days.

a-rod and his wife smile for the cameras

although the ny daily news reported that alex rodriguez's wife cynthia packed up her bags (true), it was sorta insinuated that she like, LEFT.

but yesterday, alex and his wife were seen holding hands (read: photo-op for the paparazzi) in boston. so she pack up her bags, but she left to meet up with her (possibly cheater) husband and possibly make ammends.

i don't know. as a woman, i should be furious with this. i would be PISSED if i ever found out someone cheated on me. especially if i were a married woman. at the same time, i really want to believe he didn't do anything with the mystery blond.

anyway, a-rod is quoted saying that his antics won't affect his game. and being that they're playing boston this weekend, let's hope it doesn't. they need every win they can get.

paris hilton to write words in diary & make millions

according to the ny daily news, paris hilton is going to keep a diary during her 23-day jail stint and turn it into a book. she will of course no doubtedly make millions. i won't buy it, but i'll be happy to read what she writes about as it will turn up on the internet i'm sure.

also, paris has apparently hired a hair & makeup team to get her ready when she reports to jail: Sources say the jail-bound heiress has ordered a hair and makeup team to meet her at her Hollywood Hills home at 9 a.m. Monday. It's understood that the glamorous inmate-to-be plans to turn the perp walk into a catwalk, and she wants the media to see her looking her best.

leave it to paris to turn going to jail into a red carpet event. at least i'll be living a paris-free life for 23 days.

kevin connolly sticks to another less famous sister

according to people magazine:
Entourage's Kevin Connolly, acting very attentive toward Haylie Duff at Hyde Lounge in Los Angeles. The two sat at a table with Hilary Duff and others, though they made several trips upstairs to smoke together. Back inside, Connolly showed plenty of affection, keeping his arm around Duff's waist as she chatted with girlfriends. Meanwhile, Hilary was having a ball, dancing around and lip-synching to '80s remixes. Also making the scene: Lauren Conrad, Brody Jenner and Calum Best

first nicky hilton. now, haylie duff? i mean, paris has herpes (remember that valtrex found in her storage locker?), so keep off that lawn. but haylie duff...hmmm. i mean. she did make that maxim hot 100 list (they must have run out of girls under 35). but hilary's single, right? there are just some celebrity couples i just don't understand.

michael lohan sells out his daughter....again.

according to the associated press, lindsay's dad told e! news that his daughter not only has an alcohol addiction, but an addiction to oxycontin as well.

well it's a good thing lindsay's in rehab and she has her dad to help intervene with her substance abuse problem, otherwise she'd end up looking like jack from lost (get it, cause he was hooked on oxycontin. get it?).

on a related note, it seems lindsay is "happy in rehab". if she really is happy in rehab, then something is definitely wrong. you're supposed to be going through withdrawal and unhappy and miserable in rehab. someone send these celebrities to a real rehab facility in nebraska, or somewhere else in the middle of america. keep them there til they accomplish all twelve steps. then take it from there.

no longer an eligible bachelor

last year's american idol winner (and people magazine's 2006 most eligible bachelor) taylor hicks was seen frolicking on the beach...with a GIRL! i don't know why this is surprising. the guy's like 40 years old.

apparently the mystery woman is a morning anchor at a local milwaukee affiliate.

eh, why not? i guess even taylor hicks needs a little love.

trouble in paradise

apparently on-again/off-again couple john mayer and jessica simpson went on a little holiday in cabo san lucas, mexico. but by the looks of these photos, looks like they might very well be headed toward off-again.

do you think he's mad at her for going blonde again? actually, in that first picture, they both look pretty bummed. but in that second photo, she looks a little pissed. i don't think i've seen jessica smpson with a temper. but i think it's adorable that he's holding onto jessica's dog daisy while they argue. how these two lasted this long is beyond me. but they are sorta cute together.

orlando bloom "likes the idea of love"

attention ladies! in a recent interview with the UK mirror, orlando bloom talks about dating and relationships (or lack there of):

On Dating: "I find the whole dating thing very hard actually. Well, dating the girl I feel 'right' with, I mean. But I am a romantic and I like the idea of being in love, of thinking about that person all day long. And kids are next for the star, who says: "I'd like to start a family one day and live more of a real existence, instead of being all over the place."

On his Relationship with Kate Bosworth: "Kate was on one side of the world, in Australia shooting Superman, and I was on the other, in the Bahamas for Pirates. So we tried giving each other a bit of time out. And, well, there were difficulties. There are in any relationship...In our case, it was extremely unfortunate that everything was on public display. I have always tried to keep my cards close to my chest - while wearing my heart on my sleeve - but it is a really hard thing to do."

well, sounds like he's in no hurry to be in a relationship. but more like he enjoys playing the field while searching for "the right girl". or at least a girl that's more than a skeleton with fake blonde hair. so if he's in the market for a not white girl over 100 pounds who isn't famous, sign me up!

paris uses monopoly card

according to people magazine, it is very possible that paris hilton might only serve HOURS of her 45 day sentence.

"She could be processed into jail and processed out hours later – that's possible," says spokesman Steve Whitmore, whose department runs the jail. It would mainly be due to the jail overcrowding issue. It all depends on the inmate population at the time she's processed." Whitmore adds: "But the public can expect that the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department will make the best decision for everyone involved. We will treat [Hilton] as we would any other. That's our goal."

treat her like ANY other? would you let a drug dealer serve only hours of their 45 day sentence? looks like that "get out of jail free card" might exist. but you have to be a celebrity and extremely bratty to use it.

i'd be happy if she just served a week. please god, let it be at least a week.

another celeb-retard: sylvester stallone

actor sylvester stallone has gotten himself in trouble with the law, down under. he pleaded guilty (i.e. his lawyers did it for him) to bringing vials of restricted muscle-building hormones into the australia.

i don't think it's surprising to anyone that stallone uses these hormones. well, he didn't admit to it, but c'mon! smuggling hormones to another country. for what? to sell them? i know rocky balboa was his first decent movie (so i heard) in a decade, but he's not a dealer. and look at the dude. he's 60! you can't stay in that sorta shape without a little "help".

the hormones that stallone brought in aren't narcotics though, but instead a "naturally occurring substance that can be replicated synthetically and is used to build muscle mass". but it can't be taken into australia without a permit.

stallone shrugged off the airport incident. not surprising since the man beat drago in rocky IV. i mean, that russian was HUGE! the australians should have had russell crowe teach him a lesson, but instead, stallone was allowed to leave the country.
