Miley and Mom, Making Music

Tim K: 02/29/2008 6:20 PM


Looks like we can look forward to another Hannah Montana musical masterpiece soon.

Hannah's alter-ego, Miley Cyrus (we're still not sure which is the good one and which is the evil one), was seen entering a Santa Monica recording studio today.

The 15-year-old was accompanied by her mother, Tish (rhymes with "Dish"), who held her daughter's hand as they approached the studio. (We're assuming that's because Miley is too young to cross the street by herself.)

Speaking of Miley, In Touch Weekly recently examined the question of whether she's growing up too fast. According to their source, Cyrus was recently at Los Angeles' Boulevard3 nightclub and "having a little too much fun."

The witness noted, "She wasn't drinking alcohol, but she was rocking out."

Can the same be said of her new musical project? Time will tell.

Two Fingers for Lauren

G is for Gossip: 02/29/2008 5:59 PM


You:  Ewwwww, you're gross.

Us:  We know...      Sorry.


LC grabbed lunch today in Bev Hills.  Good thing she's not wearing an "antidisestablishmentarianism" ring.  Her right hand digits would be rendered immobile!

Kelly Osbourne Moonlights as Department-Store Mannequin

Tim K: 02/29/2008 4:46 PM


Well, perhaps "moonlights" isn't the proper word; generally, one has to have a primary job before one can moonlight.

Actually, Kelly was on her way to Kate Moss' post-NME awards soiree, looking stylish if not quite lifelike with a microphone necklace and glittery silver shirt.

Also at the bash was Kate's new fellah, Kills guitarist Jamie Hince.

While we're sure that Kate's party was a rager, Kelly split relatively early, leaving at 1 a.m.

Which gave her plenty of time to scurry back to her lair and avoid exposure to sunlight.

Selma Blair Cheating... on Diet?

G is for Gossip: 02/29/2008 4:24 PM


Rumors have been swirling that actress Selma Blair and her boyfriend, model Matt Felker, broke after he caught her cheating.  Murmurs and whispers say that Matt forgot his wallet at the Hollywood home they share and, when he returned to retrieve it, found Selma sitting on the lap of another man.

Multiple male laps might not be the only thing Blair turns to for comfort.  The usually svelte Selma looks like she has been mending her self-inflicted emotional wounds with comfort food.  But no more!  Blair spent the day at the gym before hopping to her new Audi and driving away.

Maybe Selma just couldn't take having a boyfriend who rendered her the "less pretty' half of the couple.

Amy Winehouse, Looking Swell

Tim K: 02/29/2008 2:50 PM


Whoa; what's going on with Amy Winehouse's face?

We can't help notice that, as she moved her final remaining belongings out of her old place today, Wine-O was sporting a seriously swollen cheek.

Allergic reaction to her newfound sobriety?

Did her dentist go overboard with the novocaine?

Did she fall down while trying to pull her ballet slippers on?

Back-alley run-in with Russell Crowe?

Being big fans of Amy's, were hoping that there's an innocent explanation for all this. Like maybe she's storing nuts in there.

Yeah; that must be it.

UPDATE: WINEHOUSE HAS BEEN CLEARED OF ALL WITNESS-TAMPERING CHARGES IN THE CASE INVOLVING HER HUSBAND, BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL. CONGRATS, AMY; NOW GO SEE A DOCTOR ABOUT THAT SWELLING.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Do Paris

Tim K: 02/29/2008 2:19 PM


Hey, we didn't know that there's an Absolutely Fabulous remake in the works!

Actually, that's just Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, looking somewhat Eddy and Patsy, as they weave their way toward the Bourdelle Museum in Paris.

We can only imagine that they were there to peruse the vast array of Beethoven-inspired art in the Collection Bourdelle.

We're not sure why they're bothering; after creating the masterpiece that was their I'm the Cute One album, they really have nothing to learn from a hack like Ludwig.

Kenny Chesney's Beer in Mexico

Tim K: 02/29/2008 12:30 PM


Being a country-music superstar has its advantages.Like, people actually pay you to soak up suds and sunshine on a beach in Cancun.

Filming a Corona beer commercial in Mexico, Kenny Chesney seemed to embrace the kick-back atmosphere, pulling off his boots and wriggling his tootsies in the sand as the crew prepared for the shoot.

Of course, we couldn't blame him if he felt compelled to toss back a few. Not only was the poor guy married to Renee Zellweger but, much like Pam Anderson's recent gambit to rid herself of Rick Salomon, Renee quickly filed for an annulment based on fraud,

"The only fraud that was committed was me thinking that I knew what it was like," Chesney later told 60 Minutes. "That I really understood what it was like to be married, and I really didn't."

We'll drink to that.

Janet Jackson's Wide-Eyed Wonder

Tim K: 02/29/2008 11:59 AM


What was going through Janet Jackson's mind as she promoted her latest CD, Discipline, at the Virgin Megastore in Hollywood yesterday?

Was it:

"Oops! I could've had a V-8?"

"Michael's asking how much for the ferris wheel at Neverland?"

or

"Youch! This nipple ornament is cold!"

Our guess is that she was just informed that she also had to make an appearance on Larry King Live. That guy makes us bug out, too.

Body of Model Katoucha Found in Paris River

14030e_katoucha_b_gr_01.jpg

The body of Guinean born model Katoucha Niane was found near the Garigliano Bridge in the Seine River, Paris police said today.

Katoucha was one of the first African models to achieve international success in the fashion world.  She also became very active speaking out against the practice of female circumcision on young girls in Africa.

Katoucha (47) had been missing since January, when she was last seen walking home from a party.  Police are not sure if foul play was involved and are considering that she may have fallen into the river by accident.

Julia Roberts' Hairy Situation

Tim K: 02/29/2008 9:59 AM


Julia Roberts hasn't had the friendliest relationship with the paparazzi--in fact, not too long ago she chased down one shutterbug in her car and confronted him.

So why was she all smiles for the cameras in New York's Meatpacking District yesterday?

Perhaps because she had just come from an appointment with her favorite hairstylist, Serge Normant and, feeling like a Pretty Woman again, she was conducive to having her new look documented.

Then again, it could just be relief over the fact that Serge didn't give her the same hairstyle as her former hubby, Lyle Lovett.

Either way, we're glad to see those pearly whites again, Julia. Drive carefully!

"Dustin Bong" Mexican Love Fest

G is for Gossip: 02/29/2008 4:50 AM


We are really having a hard time deciding on which of the many many permutations of Drew Barrymore and Justin Long's names is the funniest.  Just In Drew?  BarryLong?  Bustin Dong?  For now, we're settling on the hybrid used in the title.

While we've been busying ourselves with that, the two humans in question have, in the meantime, skipped off to spend Drew's 33rd birthday in a Mexican paradise, passing the sunny days loving each other up in the sand.

Doesn't Drew look spectacular in that bikini!?  Yowza.  Lurve does a body good.  While she soaks up the sun, Justin takes a "While in Mexico" attitude and snacks on a tray of nachos.  (Are they actually a traditional food?  We suspect not...)  And check out the tiny little "Lust Shack" they're holing up in!  We're told their accommodations cost only $100/night.  When you've got love, I guess you don't need much else.

A few days later, Justin paddled solo through the waves in a kayak.  Mmmm abs.  We bet Drew was in the love shack, sleeping off the nachos.  Screw you, Dell.  We want ourselves a Mac!  (Check.  Quadruple check.)

Dustin Bong makes us happy!  Click any image below to see our exclusive, 38-photo gallery of their Mexican getaway.

Kirstie Alley's Yellow-Bellied Revue

Tim K: 02/28/2008 6:55 PM


Children in Los Angeles delighted in a rare treat today, as the latest tour of Sesame Street on Ice arrived in town with a parade featuring none other than Big Bird!

Oh, wait. That's not Big Bird? It's Kirstie Alley? Wow.

Sorry, kids.

Kirstie's visit to Krimson Hair Studio today was apparently cut short, as she left the establishment with her hair still wet.

The reason for the abrupt departure remains a mystery.

Perhaps, in a moment of clarity, she realized that her hairstyle was the least of her problems.

Or, probably more likely, she got hungry and decided to go out foraging.

If we were Valerie Bertinelli, we'd be watching our backs right now.

Ashlee and Pete: Totally Not Engaged ... Or Preggers

Tim K: 02/28/2008 5:30 PM


Take heart, guys and gals; if you had your sights set on Pete Wentz or Ashlee Simpson, there's still time to make your move without coming off like a skeevy homewrecker.

Contrary to recent buzz, the couple--seen here at a CD release party for Ashlee's Bittersweet World album earlier this week--is not engaged, according to one of Ashlee's representatives.

Rumors began to circulate about the alleged engagement after Ashlee appeared on Fuse TV's The Sauce and showed off a promise ring that the Fall Out Boy bassist had given her.

"It just means that he hasn't asked my Dad (for permission) yet," Simpson said when asked what the ring meant.

With regard to another rumor--that the pair are expecting a baby--that's a big negative, too, despite a recent FriendsOrEnemies post the pair had made suggesting otherwise, according to Simpson.

We haven't been this disillusioned since our parents told us the truth about the Tooth Fairy, which we're still recovering from. But hey, that was only a week ago, so give us time.

Lindsay Lohan Gets a Leg Up

Tim K: 02/28/2008 3:54 PM


Who wears short-shorts? Lindsay Lohan wears short-shorts.

Temperatures reached into the 80s yesterday in the Los Angeles area, and LiLo took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to show off her gams while lunching in Beverly Hills.

We have to say, for a girl who's packed about 45 years of life into her 21-year existence, she's holding up pretty good. Look at those legs; smooth, shapely, and not a single puncture wound to be found.

Of course, with her kid sister Ali recently announcing plans to launch her own show-biz career, Lindsay's probably feeling a little extra pressure to keep herself fit these days. That's what we call a healthy competition.

Rihanna's Cheeky Stage Duds

Tim K: 02/28/2008 2:59 PM


Yowsers; we guess Barbadian bombshell Rihanna is determined to make good on the title of her latest album, Good Girl Gone Bad.

On Tuesday, the singer took to the stage in Dublin in an outfit that must have had attendees' heart rates triplin'.  The barely-there, red-and-black number made her look half-dominatrix, half-superhero and all woman.

Forget the umbrella; we need a fan and a glass of ice-water. It's getting hot in here!

Elle Macpherson's Wild Trip

Tim K: 02/28/2008 11:59 AM


Tragedy was narrowly averted last night as Elle Macpherson exited the Institute of Contemporary Arts' Figures of Speech fundraiser in London last night.

Apparently a bystander took a spill in front of the Australian beauty and nearly took her down with him.

But hey; Macpherson has been a professional model for more than 20 years. With that kind of walking experience, you learn a thing or two.

Elle's superior agility snapped into action and she was able to right herself before her pretty face merged with the pavement.  

First you conquered our hearts, and now you've conquered gravity itself. Way to go, Elle!

And see you next fall!  Click below to view the full gallery.

Dustin Hoffman Shows the Kids How It's Done

Tim K: 02/28/2008 11:29 AM


Did Villa Lounge run a special on Geritol cocktails last night?

We're not sure how else to explain these photos of 70-year-old Dustin Hoffman partying down at one of Hollywood's hottest nightspots.

Hoffman was at Villa with his wife, Lisa Gottsegen, so we doubt he was trying to pick up LiLo.

Maybe he was just teaching the young'uns the Lindy Hop, or regaling  them with tales about how, when he was a kid, he used to wear an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time.

Alba is Pregnant in Paris

G is for Gossip: 02/28/2008 11:29 AM


We really don't like using the words "Paris" and "pregnant" in the same sentence.  It worries us.

Jessica Alba flew into Paris today.  Paris, France.  (We're just trying keep things clear and avoid reigniting any anxiety our title may have caused).

Jess is in town to promote her latest flop movie "The Eye" and to attend Paris Fashion Week.  We weren't aware any designers were showing maternity wear...  Perhaps Alba just can't wait to drop that bun and get back into fabulous form so she can stop wearing gowns that double as drapes.

See a surprisingly friendly Alba at a Parisian airport.

Jessica Biel: "Easy Virtue" Now, "Nailed" Later

G is for Gossip: 02/28/2008 11:08 AM


Jessica Biel is easy.  Wait, no.  What we meant to say is, she has easy virtue.  Augh.  Wait, not that either.  What we really meant to say is that she's in England filming "Easy Virtue."  

Whoah, calm down there!  To anyone who saw Miss Biel in "The Illusionist," you can stop screaming.  She will not, I repeat, will not be attempting a British accent.  So, a reprise of that particular nightmare is not in the works.

No no.  Jessica Biel will be playing an American (exhale) divorcee who ties the knot in a quickie French ceremony with an Englishman.  That was messy even to write.  

We do know that the movie is based on the play by Noel Coward, that Jessica's character is blonder than a Brady, and that she plays catch with a rubber hot water bottle.  Oh, and the flick co-stars Kristen Scott Thomas, Kimberley Nixon, and Ben Barnes (also featured in these photos).

Take a look at Jessica's "Easy Virtue" by browsing the whole gallery.



Oh, and her next movie is called "Nailed."  Go figure.
