May '08 Bits & Pieces:

Keeping Up With the Kardashians cameras recently trailed the girls as they made a pit-stop to the American Laser Society Center in LA. On the menu: Kim chose cellulite reduction therapy, allegedly telling staff she was doing it to look good for a calendar she was making for boyfriend Reggie Bush in celebration of their one-year anniversary, not because Paris Hilton recently said her tush looks like “cottage cheese stuffed into a big garbage bag.” Cheese or not, Kim’s hot either way. Sisters Kourtney and Khloe opted for laser hair removal from undisclosed locations.... Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter, Frances Bean, has been selected as the new face of Chanel. Meanwhile Chanel No 5 fragrance ads will feature French actress Audrey Tatou, who replaces Nicole Kidman…. Chris Brown’s bodyguards are in trouble for allegedly beating down a photographer trying to capture him with Rihanna while the two were enjoying a romantic private birthday celebration in TampaMariah and Nick Cannon. Married. Still can’t believe it. At least she got a prenup!

What the FUG was going on at the MET Costume Institute Gala? While the theme was super heroes and villains, it was the couture that looked like it needed rescuing. While A-listers like Jennifer Lopez chose the boring, safe route, B-listers like Christina Ricci and Eva Longora at least stepped it up their Louboutins a little bit. It’s a friggin’ fashion theme party people, have fun with it! But not too much, as Michelle Tractenberg’s gold tin foil dress and Mischa Barton’s ill-fitting “something fell from the sky and died on me shoulders” could wipe a smile off a clown’s face. At least men were safe, like the delicious David Beckham (in Armani) and the equally scrumptious Jason Lewis. Click here to see all the photos from the night.

Today the custody courts ruled in Britney’s favor that she will be able to have more time with her boys. We’re all for Brit getting her life back on track, so hopefully this time it’ll be less hostage stand-offs and more Chucky Cheese. Speaking of cheese, this photo to the side illustrates why we love the cliché that is Miss Britney Jean Spears. When you’re worth $100 million and traveling in a private jet, one would think you’d walk your Jimmy Choos onto your plane, wrap a cashmere Hermes scarf around your Pilates-sculptued shoulders and dive into a plate of catered Nobu, brought in specially for the flight. But this ain’t how they do it in the South, ya’ll! Brit Brit tosses on a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch shorts, white rubber wedged flip-flops and slings her plastic WalMart shopping bag over her wrist. Here’s hoping she brought enough Cheetos for everyone, it’s a long flight back to LaLa Land. For more information on Brit’s custody battle click here.

March 2006, Part Two:

 

 

fame_llohan_march.jpeg

Boys, parties, photo shoots and movies… all this stress can give a girl a bloody nose!

 

fame_llohan_march2.jpeg
While her friend perfects ‘The Paris’ pose, badass Lindsay throws her middle finger in the air. “That’s right bitches! I can sit on it, I can crash it, I can ash my cigarette on it... it’s my $120,000 BMW!!!”

On the Down-Lo (han)
How does Miss Lindsay Lohan do it? Not only does the young starlet balance her days filming her new political drama and doing numerous press commitments with nights of partying until the wee hours of the morning, but she somehow finds time for guys… many many guys. Page Six reported that on a recent trip to NYC the man-eater was seen going back to the SoHo Grand hotel room of her ex-boytoy, Wilmer Valderrama. Just days before it was reported she hooked up with troubled young actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers. And just days before that, it was Shaun White- the redheaded snowboarder who took home the gold medal (and apparently a little more from The Lo). Add to that list rumored romances with Colin Farrell, Joaquin Phoenix, Jude Law, Jared Leto, Ryan Adams, Benecio del Torro, Sean Lennon, Adam Levine, and that Talan kid from Laguna Beach and Lo is looking like young Hollywood’s favorite new hobby. Whatever. Some say Lindsay is just trying to have fun. I say let her, it gives her fans more to dish about. And it gives me more stories to tell at cocktail parties. For instance recently I was sitting at a table with friends at an after-party and all of a sudden this $4000 Chloe bag comes flying in my direction, landing beside me on the couch. Seconds later its owner plops down next to it and lights up a cigarette. It wasn’t my first encounter with the twizzlestick, but the first since she’s fallen under 100 pounds and dyed her hair jet black. Over the course of 45 minutes Miss LoHo went through an exchange of moods: laughing with her equally twizzlestick-ly friends, ignoring everyone and texting on her Blackberry, “dancing” (i.e. bopping up and down on the couch and throwing her arms and hair around like she’s in a Whitesnake video), a bathroom break, tossing back energy drink/vodka mixes, taking photos with friends (now Lo, you know those are going to end up on the Internet just like your other personal photos, right?), giving an excited fan a nasty look behind her back, collapsing back on the couch- I don’t even think the girl blinked in 5 minutes- just one blank stare as her friends continued partying around her. Cue Mr. Bodyguard it’s time for the Lo-ster to leave. Meanwhile we move on to a just opened teeny-tiny hotspot, and there’s Miss LoHo, re-energized and jumping around the room like a rabid monkey. The next night she’s 2 booths down from me at an exclusive club. Completely ignoring Kim Stewart and the Hilties, who are also there in the party spirit, Lo seems more relaxed… well, at least until the end of the night. Nearly everyone had stayed until they shut the place down, and my friend was using the last open bathroom stall. Mid-pee, she’s startled by a banging on the door. Figuring from the eagerness and power of the pound, surely it must be a bouncer telling her the club was closing. Finishing her business, the pounding got more and more desperate. She barely unlocks the door before LoHo storms in, almost knocking my friend over.
“She didn’t even realize what she was doing,” remembers my startled friend. “She definitely had one thing on her mind. I guess she really had to go to the bathroom.”
Speaking of things she may not realize, she better check the circle of friends she keeps. All I’m saying is that I kind of feel bad for the girl when I’m out and hear some of her closet friends get all shitfaced and start blabbing about who Lindsay bangs and what she does for recreation. And she wonders where all the rumors come from.

The unstoppable, one-and-only Tequila Tara

Today in Taradise…
Ahhh the wonderful country of Taradise, a land unlike no other. In Taradise lives a 30-something peroxide blonde who loves nothing more than getting wasted and show off her new boobs. She makes one bad film a year, which funds her said boobs, travel, and booze. You can read about the tales of Taradise at least biweekly, when tabloids expose another crazy incident that Ms Tara Reid gets into. This time around Tara has car problems. After leaving Dennis Rodman’s Newport Beach house at 7AM (because, you know, in Taradise Dennis is your favorite party pal), Ms Reid slammed her car into a neighbor’s. Eyewitnesses told reporters her “pupils were clearly dilated, for what reason I don’t know.” Maybe she was just sleepy- it was early. Whatever the reason, Tara sure didn’t want her insurance company or the police finding out. Thinking quick she pulls $700 out of her purse, since business in Taradise is cash-only, and told the man to “forget it ever happened”. Oh wait, this must be one of those things she doesn’t want the press to know about, like her covert Oscar week diamond smuggling operation. Rose McGowan recently hosted an Oscars luncheon at the Diamond Acquifer suite, where Tara was (for whatever reason) a guest. The suite was giving out gift bags containing diamond bracelets worth $1000. Ignoring the fact that these were set aside for the bigger celebs in attendance, Tara and her wild party posse snatched up as much as they could carry and ran for the door. A miffed staffer told Page Six, “Tara and some friends came and swiped almost all of the gift bags. Gone! They took them all! Thieves!”

Hawaii is abuzz with rumors of Britney’s second pregnancy

 

 

fame_kfed_sandy.jpeg

While hubby Kevin Federgrime keeps on hoeing

Trailer Talk: The Latest from K-Fed & Britney
Kevin: It only took two words to end our respect for the rapper The Game: Kevin Federline. On his official MySpace page, K Fed posted his newest song 360, and advertises it as “me and The Game”. Well, we’re pleased to report that in the entire 5 minutes and 5 seconds of the song Kev spits for approximately 4 seconds, blasts three “Blaaaahhh”’s, and gets two shout-outs from The Game himself. So what did K Fed use his 4 seconds of Game fame to say? “Fuck it, I’m rich for nothing. Tell the media to get off my dick.” Genius. Pure lyrical genius. How much of Brit Brit’s money did Kev have to pay to get on a track with the blockbuster rapper?
This week’s Why K-Fed’s A Gold-Digging Slut: Britney has been spending time in Hawaii with family and without her wedding ring (or Kev). She wants to buy a house there, somewhere to run every time there are problems in her relationship, instead of just divorcing the problems out of her life. Hopefully Miss Brit didn’t add to her problems by getting pregnant again, as a lot of tabloids are reporting. She says she’s tucking away on the island to record material for her new album. With his wife busy at the beach, the Kevster lived up to his playboy reputation by hitting on poptart Jessica Simpson and being photographed hugging and leaving a recording studio with French actress Sandy Lakdar. French friends of Sandy say she’s a horrific “star-f*cker” with a large appetite for a certain type of (nose) candy. The redneck “rapper” and a posse of half a dozen look-alikes also spent time in Studio City shooting off air-guns around a busy apartment complex.
Britney: Imagine sitting at a posh Beverly Hills eatery among top agents, beautiful actors, and plastic surgery addicted, pink Versace suit-wearing Hollywood Wives, when in strolls a sunburned, braless, sundress-and-flip flop-wearing Miss Britney Jean Spears, complete with bad hair extensions, last night’s eyeliner, a thick Louisiana accent, and a baby at the hip. If that image doesn’t make you want to hurl, how about if the baby goes “number two” in his diaper, and instead of going into the bathroom she props up little Sean Preston on the table and changes him right in front of nearby patrons? This is exactly what happened at one swank restaurant, reports the National Enquirer. When disgusted diners complained to the staff, the manager apparently threw up his hands and told guests, “It’s Britney Spears- what can we do?” No word on if the busboy had to dispose of the diaper, or if someone swooped it up to sell on eBay. We hear Brit is pregnant again. Oh lord, I must stop now. There is only so much of the duo I can take in one sitting.

Laguna Blonde Sings the Blues
Laguna Beach bitch Kristin Cavalleri just can’t catch a break. First, she’s portrayed on the hit show as a manipulative party girl. Then, while MTV moves on with select characters from Laguna Beach and creates a much cooler show with them, Kristin signs with UPN to host a show about throwing parties which gets cancelled from low ratings right after it debuts. Next, she loses all her luggage before an event she’s hosting in Las Vegas, she offers 10 minutes of conversation to the highest bidder on eBay for charity, and she breaks up with boyfriend Brody Jenner, who had a short stint as a reality star on “Princes of Malibu”. It wasn’t too long before she was spotted out with Nick Lachey, who had been previously healing his Jessica Simpson wound with a beauty pageant bimbo from Kentucky. It now looks like Miss Kris’ fling with Nick is over, as he was spotted in Boston getting down with some of Beantown’s finest college coeds.

How many blondes does it take to pick out a toothbrush?

 

 

fame_jsimpson_march2.jpeg

Friends don’t let friends do collagen

Wham, Bam, Thank You Ma’am
While Nick is loving his single life, ex Jessica Simpson seems to be getting a quick lesson in being a booty call. Her second time around fling with Maroon 5’s Adam Levine has come to an end in a harsh way. Star Magazine reports that the hookups ended when the playboy rocker sent the text to Miss Simpson: “Really busy. Need space.” Ouch. He is said to have felt pressured into taking her out for Valentine’s Day, a date he blew off when she started grilling him with relationship questions. Once it sunk in, the blonde boplett apparently told a friend, “I just got dumped.” According to rumors, the first time they hooked up was in 2004.
Camp Jessica (headed by her fame-whore father Joe) have been denying these allegations- of course they don’t want their Little Miss Sweetheart looking like a Daisy Duke-wearing hoe. A source at Us Weekly, who stands by their story that she cheated on Nick, told the NY Daily News: “This is a woman who lied to the public and probably her husband about her marriage until the bitter end. Enough said.”
So what’s the easiest way of forgetting about one fling? Getting another, of course! And who’s more guaranteed to be a sure thing than the sluttlicious Jude Law. The two apparently had a wild night at Chateau Marmont, Hollywood’s infamous hookup hotel, also the site of the Jess/Adam bang-a-thon. Sources told Star that post-Jude booty, Jessica has been “deluged by a flood of e-mails, prone calls and text messages.” The source, a friend of Jessica, tells the magazine, “Jude is telling Jess that he ‘hungers for her’ and that he goes to sleep every ‘dreaming about her lips, her smell and her laugh.” (a.k.a Botox, Dessert body soufflé, and the combined sounds of a hyena and a hungry baby). The next victim to fall under the British actor’s charm, Jessica is, apparently “loving it”. But before things get too serious Jess seems to be exploring all options. The new Us Weekly reveals that Jess, in Santa Fe filming the movie Employee of the Month, has been getting quite cozy with its director, Greg Coolidge. Wonder what Papa Joe, who is not surprisingly producing the flick, has to say about that. Meanwhile, she definitely did not leave her diva demands in California. She had an assistant (Cacee, perhaps?) call ahead to a Wild Oats supermarket to let them know she was coming in. Management was asked to not let store employees approach her and make sure she wasn’t bothered while shopping. When the untouchable starlet did arrive she was surrounded by an entourage anyway.

Kate’s eggin for a good time

Hold up Miss Moss, what’s inside the teddy bear?

Kate’s Eggciting Life
Since there are more details about Kate Moss’ drug habits than there are answers for what happened on 9/11, how can we not go over details from The Sun’s explosive new info on Cocaine Kate? It’s no surprise that everything Kate does, she does fabulously, so when it comes to snorting lines, why would that be different? Baggies are certainly not good enough for Miss Fabulous, she’s sure to start a new smuggle trend in Hollywood with the Fabergé egg, her $110,000 gem-encrusted carrier of choice for not only cocaine, but ecstasy and Rohypnol. Yes we said Rohypnol, as in the date-rape drug, which Kate popped to come down from coke rushes, according to model booker/former Kate posse member Gavin Maselle, who spilled her secrets to the British paper. Some of the more tantalizing details:

-During their 8 year friendship Gavin claims he never once saw Kate sober. She was on coke EVERY time she saw them. Minutes after being introduced in 1997 she followed him into the bathroom. “It’s Kate. Let me in,” he described her as saying in her “squeaky English accent”. Once in she chopped up a line and snorted it straight off the toilet seat. The very next day Kate threw a party in her hotel room for other models, where she ordered five grams of the marching powder. The following day was the launch of Storm Models South Africa event, which included a fashion show that Kate was set to open. Ten minutes before she was about to open the show, she needed a fix. “She was running around backstage looking for somewhere to do the coke. It was pandemonium, just minutes before she was due to open the show,” Gavin remembers. “She pulled me into the changing rooms and when she saw that there was no toilet seat or other surface to chop up the cocaine she just said ‘f*ck it, the ground, let’s do it off the ground’. The cocaine was thrown on the floor, not even chopped up and divided into two. Then she bent over, bum in the air and snorted half in just one go. I could not believe it. It was gross and unhygienic but she didn’t care. I thought ‘my God you will collapse’. But she laughed and went straight out on to the catwalk and was seamless.” Bravo!
-Kate and her egg were inseparable and traveled the world together. She would often throw cocaine parties, like the one in 1998 in yet another trip to South Africa to see Nelson Mandela. While the great Mr. Mandela was greeting guests with other supermodels like Naomi Campbell (who isn’t exactly an angel herself), Kate yanked Gavin into a bathroom and snorted lines off the toilet seat. .“She was insatiable; I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” explains Gavin. “We were there at Mandela’s house in the Bishop’s Court area of Cape Town — and Kate was doing coke.” The next day she flew to Cuba with the egg, packed fresh with a new supply. Getting her fix in whatever town she was in was easy, as she had her management have it ready for her as soon as she arrived.
-Gavin said no amount could stop Kate. She apparently needed a line “every 5 minutes”. A chauffer that drove Kate around in 1997 claims she would be snorting coke in the backseat even on short trips from her hotel to stores. Us ladies know it takes a lot of energy to try on clothes.

In any event we still love Kate and know that she’s certainly not the only industry icon that has their problems.

Is Miss Hilton falling from her star?

 

Au Revior Paris?
Known mostly for her love of partying- on and off camera- Paris Hilton has never missed an event, especially A-list ones. That was, of course, until Oscar weekend- when she was shut out of the biggest party of the year: Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party. Although she attended last year and was featured on the cover of the magazine, Editor in Chief Grayden Carter decided not to extend one of the 500 highly coveted invitations to her. “Paris who?” Mr. Carter reportedly asked, “She’ll never attend one of the parties I host.” Inside, the party was, as always, the place to be seen. Revealers included winner Reese Witherspoon, Paris rival Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, Heidi Klum, Kiera Knightley, Jessica Alba, Hilary Swank, Jennifer Lopez, and Uma Thurman. At a less glam pre-Oscar party, Paris handed the DJ her upcoming CD and jumped on the dance floor with none other than Rick Solomon. You know, the night-vision pro she made the sex tape with and claimed she never wanted to see again. What is it with hanging out with enemies? Does it give the heiress some sort kinky sexually arousing I-hate-you-but-let’s-boogie thrill? A week after being spotted with the man that helped Paris become a household name by strategically releasing the sex video just in time for Paris’ debut on The Simple Life, she was spotted leaving Mr. Chows with Zeta Graff. If you don’t already know Ms. Graff, a diamond industry heiress, and Hilton have been in several altercations this year and Graff is suing Paris for $10 million for planting a false story about her in the New York Post. The duo spent the night hitting various hotspots around town, much to the delight of her lawyer's we're sure.  Perhaps Paris is trying to make nice to get her to drop her lawsuit, a trick she’s used in the past (i.e. making “friends” with press to get them to write good things about her, etc). TMZ.com has the footage.

A hot husband, two lovely kids, an Oscar, and now $29 million… there’s no reason for Reese to ever stop smiling

 

fame_vbeckham_march.jpeg

“Housework makes me skinny enough to shop at Baby Gap!”

Bits & Pieces:
Tennessee cutie Reese Witherspoon just surpassed $24 million a film Julia Roberts as the highest paid actress in showbiz. America’s Next Sweetheart, who just won an Oscar for Walk the Line, will earn $29 million for her role in the upcoming horror flick Our Family Trouble… Madonna made a few rare appearances during Oscar week with hubby Guy Richie, most likely to cool rumors of a split. Or it may have been to score tens of thousands of dollars worth of goodies at the gifting suites around town. During her stay Madonna spent time with pal Guy Oseary and stylist Arianne Phillips. She also bumped into exes Sean Penn and Warren Beatty, managing to keep conversation friendly but brief… There is a God! Victoria Beckham has announced to never sing again because she’d rather concentrate on housework and being a mom. Now all she has to do is get rid of the 3 nannies and staff of 12 maids anc chefs. Skinny Victoria also told a Scottish newspaper that one of her biggest fashion secrets is buying jumpers at Gap Kids because “they’re so fitted and can look really cool and seventies-inspired.” Nicole Richie, Mary Kate Olsen, Teri Hatcher, and all other 'size-12-in-girls' take note… Both in desperate need of press (other than mentions of beating people up and getting Botox injections) Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman, who were once rumored lovers, will star in the new Baz Luhrmann film. Expect US Weekly covers full of affairs, fights, and plastic surgery… Newly married and fresh out of rehab, Eminem realized he was turning into a cheese puff after seeing footage of himself at the Grammy’s earlier this year. He plans to hire Janet Jackson’s trainer (who is trimming down the 5’1 star from a reported 176 pounds) at the cost of $17,000 a month… In a fashion industry shock, Naomi Campbell has lost yet another assistant. Boarding a flight from London to L.A., the superdiva got into an argument with her latest victim because she was upset that some outfits didn’t get shipped to where they needed to be. Several passengers complained over the loud exchange between the two before the assistant announced she was quitting. The two sat in silence for the rest of the flight… Press hungry Steve-O from Jackass, better known recently as Nicole Richie’s ex-fling, showed his desperation by peeing on the red carpet at an Oscar party. Classy!… Uma Thurman split with hotelier Andre Balazs because he was not marriage material… Donald Trump admitted to the cast of The View that if his model daughter Ivanka wasn’t his offspring he would probably be dating her. Hmmm, maybe because she looks like him?... Our support goes out to Sheryl Crow, who is being treated for breast cancer… Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have let go of their longtime P.R. man Michael Pagnotta… Rumor has it that fashion plate/entrepreneur Gwen Stefani is in talks with Jane Pratt to start a lifestyle magazine for young girls… Lindsay Lohan abruptly left one pre-Oscar party after finding out there weren’t any gift bags… Charlize Theron has apparently split with boyfriend of five years Stuart Townsend.

Christina loves Jordy

It’s Mrs. B To You
Congratulations to Christina Aguilera, who gets extra brownie points for finding love and happiness with a 5’4 music executive who worked for her management firm. The couple became engaged in February, when the 28 year old Jordan Bratman sent her on a poem-filled scavenger hunt while the two were on vacation in Carmel, California. The last clue was a box containing a Stephen Webster designed five-carat ring. Stephen Webster was also called upon to make their matching platinum bands when they wed last month in Napa Valley. Earlier this year Christina and her stylists attended Paris Fashion Week to choose a designer for her wedding dress. She went with Christian Lacroix and Kai Milla (Stevie Wonder’s designer wife) for her bridesmaids. The once Dirrty girl reportedly spent $2 million to have her fantasy wedding come to life. This included a celebration tent decorated with a “winter wonderland” theme, complete with white faux fur covered chairs and a chandelier with 2500 crystals. There was no need for guests like Sharon Stone, Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore to worry about what to get the pop princess who seems to have everything: Miss Aguilera asked to donate money to the Hurrican Katrina victims rather than splurge on the multi-platinum selling artist.  The whole engagement has been a series of parties, with dinner celebrations in LA and bachelorette bashes in Cabo San Lucas and Las Vegas. Christina will keep Aguilera as her professional name, but will take Bratman’s last name legally.

Orlando and Kate have something to smile about

And Another One Bites the Dust
Well, maybe not yet, as Hollywood engagements pretty much have about a .031% chance of actually becoming a marriage. The word on the British streets is that Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth have been shopping for engagement rings at Van Cleef & Arpels. According to The Sun, after kissing and cuddling through several shops including Bvlgari, she settled on a $110,000 Van Cleef stunner. For three years the two have been off-and-on, most recently the big O was linked with the new Tara Reid: Kirsten Dunst. Over the holidays the couple was spotted in Kate’s hometown of Cohasset, MA. Don’t expect a wedding anytime soon, as Kate is busy in Australia shooting Superman Returns.

Things That Makes Us Go Hmmmm
Speaking of Superman, Orlando may feel inadequate around Ms Bosworth’s new co-star: The Fame Dame hears leading man Brandon Routh has a superhero sized Superman Jr. Page Six reports the young actor’s manhood is so apparent through his skintight costume that they may have to shrink Brandon Jr. down during post-production. A source told the London Sun, “Brandon is extremely well-endowed and they don’t want it up on the big screen. We may be forced to erase his package with digital effects.” We’re waiting for some photographic evidence…

Farkin' hot

Drugs Will Make You Famous
At least if you can’t be as beautiful as Hollywood stars, drive around in the same Bentleys as them or afford the same Gucci bag you can still pick up the same drug habits! The latest celebrity to succumb to cokeaustion- I mean exhaustion, the mystery syndrome that is getting more and more common in the land of lovlies? Colin Farrell. The Irish actor, who is no stranger to a good time, was reportedly rushed to a hospital in Uruguay where doctors allegedly discovered marijuana, cocaine, and a third substance in his blood. While his publicist, Danica Smith, is denying that this drug concoction is what led him to check into rehab last week, she does say it was “exhaustion” from filming Miami Vice and a dependency on prescription medication that was given to him when he injured his back earlier this year. Sources say his grueling shooting schedule lead to the meltdown. With crazy hours (sometimes shooting straight through from an evening to the next afternoon), character commitments (training, work-outs, press appearances) and his infamous partying, Colin found it impossible to develop a normal sleep pattern. Whatever the case may be, The Fame Dame still loves the super sweet, down-to-earth heartthrob, and we’re definitely not the only one. Vice co-star Jamie Foxx told press his buddy was doing great and staying at his house.

Ashlee conceals her exhaustion

Ashlee is Exhausted Too!
Ashlee Simpson announced to an audience in Tokyo that she “felt sick” before rushing offstage and collapsing in an elevator. Perhaps it was her inner body trying to run for dear life from her overbearing fame-whore father, Papa Joe. Maybe it was because she just performed her song “Boyfriend”, which has been churning stomachs in cities across the nation. Or perhaps she suddenly couldn’t remember the lines to her song and was afraid she was going to pull another Millie Vanilli. Whatever it was, her rep Rob Schuster hasn’t provided any insight as to why the poplet fainted and was rushed to the hospital. We’re speculating it was the exhaustion plague… ya know… Linsday Lohan, Mariah Carey, Mary Kate Olsen, Eminem, Kate Moss, etc etc.
We recommend mental exercises from the Oompa Loompa Clinic for Celebrities Suddenly Gone Wack.

What do we love more than watching Kate Moss be fabulous? Watching a topless Kate Moss wig out on a photo shoot like some coked up supermodel. Oh wait…Click here for the video.
Meanwhile, Kate is in Los Angeles now because 1) She just bought an incredible apartment in the Sierra Towers in Beverly Hills 2) She wants to be an actress 3) She was shooting ads for her $2 million contract with Virgin Mobile and 4) She’s afraid if she returns to England she’ll be arrested for her little cocaine problem. You know… being filmed snorting a snow mound of cocaine off of a CD cover and chopping up fat lines for her friends. She may also be trying to stay “off” with on/off boyfriend Pete Doherty. The troubled rocker was busted a few weeks back in London after cops pulled him over and allegedly found “class A” substances in his car (i.e. heroin, cocaine). Not a stranger to car problems herself, Linsday Lohan couldn’t have been more thrilled when she was asked to join Moss at Mr. Chow’s in Beverly Hills. Lo has professed her love for Ms Kate as her ultimate fashion icon. Kate has also been spotting shopping and eating ice cream with Jack Osbourne, who has actually made a pretty good attempt at changing his life. Check out a photo from Kate & Lo’s meeting on Stalker and watch Kate’s Virgin Mobile ad by clicking here.

Home Wrecking for the Holidays
The relationship of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt seems to have gotten a little more serious. Over Christmas the two exchanged rings- hers from Cartier and his from Neil Lane. Gossip columns around the world are reporting Miss Big Lips is pregnant, and if that’s not enough Angelina has moved into Brad’s Malibu’s mansion and he has now legally adopted little Maddox and Zahara, changing their names to Jolie-Pitt. The new clan and their families spent all Christmas together in Malibu, where Brad’s ex Jennifer Aniston also lives.

Bits & Pieces
Gwen Stefani confessed she is pregnant with her first child with husband Gavin Rossdale… And whispers of Gwyneth Paltrow expecting, who will probably have another fruity-named kid… The Daily News reports that Eddie Murphy was all over Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson and that they “better get a room”. Or maybe he just thought she was a transvestite…

So Rod Stewart’s daughter and the Laguna Beach dude who slept with Linsday Lohan are not getting married. Hint to F-listers everywhere: make a sex video! Engagements, break-ups and multiple weddings only work if people know who you are. Take a hint from Paris: one night-vision camera later she’s getting engaged, breaking up, and stealing boyfriends all in front of our delightfully bored little eyes…DJ AM called off his engagement with Nicole Richie. Five months ago we heard from a very close source he thought she was too clingy, had “problems”, and he needed some space. Damn, we should have put money on this… Jennifer Aniston apparently had a bonfire ritual with girlfriends outside her Malibu spread where she burned her Lawrence Steele wedding dress, love letters from Brad and his clothes… Gossip columns are saying Rachel McAdams and her Notebook co-star Ryan Gossling are engaged… Christina Applegate and hubby Jonathan Schaech are splitting… Eminem’s out of rehab and back with his ex-wife Kim. You know- the one he’s killed at least once on every album he’s put out. The two plan to remarry. We’re toasting to many murders to come… Will someone please tell Britney that she’s better than Kevin Fendergrime? Support this theory at DivorceKevin.com
