1. But she’s just so, you know… Nicole Richie is begging the tabloids to stop pointing out she’s skinny because doing so just makes her skinnier. Does that mean she’ll gain weight if we start saying she’s pleasingly plump? Apparently not: Nicole said she suffers from stress and finds it hard to eat when she’s being judged by the paparazzi. We felt sort of bad until we saw her looking all scrawny in Lionel Richie’s “I Call It Love” video.
2.That’s Earl Hickey kinda karma … Lindsay Lohan was reunited with her jewel-filled Hermes Birkin bag, which went missing from London’s Heathrow Airport last week. “Lindsay wants to say a massive thank you to Mr. Paparazzi Darryn Lyons for handing back her bag to her today after his paparazzi film crew helped catch the thief and return her belongings,” Lindsay‘s attorney Michael David Heller said. “She feels that maybe justice has been served, and karma may have played a role in the return of her bag today given that the paparazzi are usually a pest to her and today they have been a godsend.” Is “paparazzi” a title?
3. He’s channeling Angie again… Brad Pitt says he’s tired of superstar roles. “Being a part of an ensemble is always more fun, you don’t have to carry the film,” Brad, whose film Babel premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, pontificated. “For me, I consider myself more a citizen of the world, and I have great pride as I sit up here with all the people from different cultures, and know that we all came together.”
4. Two words: David Caruso… “I would never leave Desperate Housewives. I love doing both (TV and film), but I would never do another TV show after Desperate Housewives.” That’s Eva Longoria going on about the bigger screen. Hey, remember David Caruso, who shot to fame and fortune with the TV drama NYPD Blue, and then his red head got all big? His movie career tanked and then the phone just stopped ringing.
5. It just keeps getting weirder… Each new story about the death of Anna Nicole Smith’s 20-year-old son Daniel gets weirder and weirder. (A massive heart attack! An overdose! A stranger in the room!) Sadly, it’s only the latest chapter in Anna Nicole‘s circus of a life, which grows more unsettling by the decade. Anna Nicole had just given birth to a daughter in the Bahamas and Daniel had flown in to celebrate with her. He died unexpectedly three days later.
6. What a biatch… Joanie Laurer slammed Anna Nicole‘s dead son Daniel in an interview with CNN’s Larry King on Tuesday. Daniel was a producer on the Joanie Laurer‘s comedy Illegal Aliens, and now the former wrestler is complaining he was too serious. “We were doing a movie and it’s very exciting and he’s a producer and so I’d go up and jab him a little and try to get him to joke and get him to laugh but it seemed to be not as exciting (to him) as I perhaps thought somebody should be.” Ever think maybe he just didn’t want to be jabbed?
7. He’s such a candy ass… Zach Braff beat up a 12-year-old kid who covered his new Porsche in paint during a prank for Ashton Kutcher’s MTV show Punk’d, but the scene was left on the editing room floor. “It turns out it was fake spray paint,” Zach explains. “They edited (the fight) out, because apparently you’re not supposed to punch people on Punk’d.” That’s so not candid. If Ashton has the guts to prank unsuspecting celebs into violent outbursts, he should have the balls to air it.
8. The stage is almost set… A rep for Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise claims the couple is planning to wed within the next three to six weeks. “The wedding is still in the planning stages. They’re really excited about it, spokesman Arnold Robinson is yelling from rooftops. “They have always said they will be married by early autumn and they are still in that window. They can’t wait.” Lifting the Hollywood marriage veil of secrecy is exactly what perpetuates all those “it’s all a sham” conspiracies!
9. Um, it’s not the ’60s anymore…”It’s a Jane Fonda movie! Be early!” That’s Rosie O’Donnell slamming Lindsay Lohan for her behavior on the set of Georgia Rule. Someone needs to break the news to Rosie that Jane Fonda is not a big deal anymore. When Jane says “Jump!” we say, “Oh shut up, Hanoi Jane.”
10. An eye for an eye… Fans of late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin are getting revenge on the fish that killed him. Irwin died after being stung in the chest by a stingray while diving on the Great Barrier Reef. Since the accident, conservationists in Australia have found at least 10 dead stingrays with their barbed tails cut off. We all loved Steve, but that’s just twisted.
