congrats.

katie holmes gets haircut. somehow this is "news"

the daily mail and tmz are breaking celebrity news...katie holmes got a haircut! wait, what? i don't know what the big deal is. i don't even think it's that cute.

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.

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."

tivo alert! britney's mom to appear on the view

according to the view's website, britney's mom, lynn spears, is scheduled to appear on the show this wednesday*. i'll be sure to tune in. if anything just to see if she talks about poor little britney's nasty hair extentions. i mean, look at them!

*update: they've since taken this info off the website

photo-op of the day: salma's ever-growing body parts

i'm not exactly sure how long it's been since salma hayek got pregnant or when she is due, but after looking at this picture, i can't help but wonder one thing......her boobies look rather large. as does her stomach. but which has gotten bigger? her breasteses or her baby tummy? i can't tell. please, help me out.

(photo via in case you didn't know)

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.

it's official: jessica alba doesn't take bad pictures. ever.

jessica alba in the upcoming issue of PARADE magazine (you know, that insert magazine in your sunday paper). apparently she loves scotch, likes golf, and thinks there's nothing wrong with playing sue storm.

On playing the role of Sue Storm… “People in the business made me feel that it was going to be a problem that I was playing Sue Storm, a blue-eyed blonde, but I didn't see any problem with it myself. Cate Blanchett dyes her hair any color that she needs to for her roles, and nobody cares. People transform themselves for roles everyday—it's called being an actor. It's no big deal—we play dress up for a living. We pretend—we tell stories for entertainment purposes. The only thing I did do was wear contacts to make my eyes blue. And as for most women in Hollywood? They're not real blondes, anyway!”

On her golf game… “I like to play golf. Is that real dorky? When I’m chilled out and relaxed, my long game is better. I can drive the ball two hundred yards, and that’s not bad. It’s just a game for now, but when I’m on the senior tour, then we’ll have to talk again.”

The Scotch connoiseur… Robert Masello, who interviewed Alba for PARADE, says: “Our waiter at the Polo Lounge, a very friendly fellow named Jeremy, knew Jessica from her previous visits, and he also knew what she liked. He instantly brought her the house list of single malt scotches, and together they had quite a lengthy chat about the various brands, and their relative smoky or peaty flavors. I was intrigued to hear these two experts going at it—especially when one of them happened to be the lovely young Ms. Alba. I always thought it was crusty old men who drank these expensive scotches. Now I know better."

it's official. between her beautiful pictures and her down to earth demeanor in this article, she might be the chick i want to be when i grow up...except i think she's younger than me. so i guess i'll stick with wanting to be salma hayek when i grow up. except she's supes pregnant right now. hmm...i'll have to get back to you.

photo-op of the day: like mother like son daughter son(?)

i thought celine dion gave birth to a little boy? surely this child cannot be little rene-charles, can it?

i just hope that the money from this photo shoot goes to put him in the witness protection program or something. either that or a haircut from frederic fekkai. because if this kid doesn't chop off that mop, he's gonna need to go into hiding to avoid all of the taunting and teasing on the playground. and school. and everywhere else with people around.

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.

stars, they're just like us!

according to a press release i received this morning, random celebrities will join together for a charitable cause. they will be donating their time to be waiters at sapa to benefit project a.l.s.

the event will take place monday, june 11th in new york city. so if you have $300 to donate (or money to burn) you can get in on this dinner for a good cause. and who knows, you could have someone as cool as rob riggle serve you or someone like mtv vj susie castillo. other "celebrities" that will be there to serve patrons include:

Ted Allen (Queer Eye, Top Chef), Kevin Covert (Spamalot), Rachel Dratch (30 Rock, Saturday Night Live), Bryant Gumbel (Real Sports - HBO, NFL Network), Richard Kind (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Spin City), Aasif Mandvi (The Daily Show, Jericho), Julianna Margulies (Sopranos, Snakes on a Plane, ER), Rob Morrow (Numb3rs, Northern Exposure) , among others.

bon appetit!

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.

heidi klum names her lady lumps

according to msnbc, heidi klum not only loves her boobies, she has names for them:

Heidi Klum says she has names for her boobs. She calls one Hans and the other Franz. “They’re German,” she explained.

now, i know that hans and franz are german names...and she's german. so, i get it. but i have to say when i hear hans and franz, i can't help but think of this SNL sketch:

la lohan wants to make more music

according to mtv news:

Lindsay Lohan says it's a little strange being #1 on Maxim's "Hot 100." "It's really flattering," she told MTV News last week, "but it does get kind of awkward." Lohan also revealed that she plans to begin work on a new album soon. "We'll start in probably June or July and take four months," she explained. Lohan said she's collaborating with Maverick Records CEO Guy Oseary on the disc, which will have an "urban pop" sound.

hmmm...i have no idea what "urban pop"sounds like, but i'm willing to take a few guesses:

• nails scratching on a chalkboard
• the sanitation department trucks collecting garbage on a friday morning
• a bulemic puking into a toilet
• 30 seconds to mars

i think i'll pass on lindsay's music...again.

girlfight: the never ending saga between rosie & elisabeth

janette barber was here.

according to the ny post, rosie o'donnell's cheif writer on the view was escorted out of the building for drawing mustaches on pictures of co-host elisabeth hasselbeck that hang in the view offices.

The Post's Adam Buckman reports ABC confirmed in a statement only that "photographs at 'The View's' offices were defaced. Rosie O'Donnell was not in the building. ABC Legal and Human Resources are investigating the matter." Barber is an old friend of O'Donnell who worked with her years ago on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show."

i guess big girls (and their friends) do cry.
