1. Maybe Dina Lohan has Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome… Because we’re starting to wonder. Lindsay reportedly got her appendix out on Thursday but was spotted dancing up a storm with blink-182 drummer Travis Barker until 5 a.m. Saturday morning at a West Hollywood party. Hey, remember when Lindsay was a no-show on Regis and Kelly because of food poisoning, but appeared on MTV just hours later? What about the time Lindsay was hospitalized with a mysterious 103-degree fever, or hospitalized after a New Year’s asthma attack, or hospitalized after suffering from heatstroke and exhaustion, or hospitalized after crashing her Mercedes-Benz? And remember when Lindsay was rushed to the hospital after slipping and cutting her leg in Bryan Adams’ London home? Or had to drop out of Mission: Impossible 3 after spraining her ankle?
2. Let’s call a spade a spade… Donald Trump is considering allowing Little Miss Ho Bag USA Tara Conner to pose for Playboy. “Playboy wants to have Tara on the cover (and) we’re thinking about it,” The Donald said. “It wouldn’t be nude… I would never want a thing like that to happen.” We respect Trump for not recognizing the pageant as a talent thingy. Dump the scholarships, bump the contestants entry age to a legal 18, and strike a cross-promotion deal with a men’s mag.
3. Like sugar to her heart (oooh baby)… According to People magazine, Mandy Moore and DJ AM are dating. “It’s really new. They’re in the beginning stages of getting to know each other. They’re very into each other. It’s very sweet,” a source tells the magazine. That’s what Mandy said when she was dating Andy Roddick, and then Zach Braff, but interestingly enough, not Fez.
4. The Body Double, The Screech, His Tape & Its Broker … David Hans Schmidt, the guy who brokered the deal to sell a sex tape featuring Saved by the Bell’s Dustin Diamond to Red Light District Video, claims the American public has been defrauded. “[Diamond] made this tape in a St. Louis hotel room with two girls last summer with the intention that I would sell it,” Schmidt tells the New York Daily News‘ Rush & Malloy. Schmidt also suspects not all of the shots in the video are of Diamond, adding, “You never see his face and his (manhood) in the same shot.” Can’t Screech do anything right?
5. So she is a cyborg… “Jennifer‘s great. When the marriage ended, it was sad. I love Brad, he’s a great guy. He did some stuff that hurt our friend, but you know…” That’s David Arquette blabbing about pal Jennifer Aniston on Howard Stern‘s radio show last week. But when Howard asked if he had ever seen Jen cry, David replied, “No, no, never–not shed one tear.” Now, did David think this was a compliment? Because it only makes her look Terminator-y.
6. The crack must have been whack… New Jersey storage company Speed of Sound applied for a court order to sell Whitney Houston‘s belongings after the star’s company, Nippy Inc., reportedly failed to pay costs of $150,000. Whitney’s beaded Versace catsuit from her 1999 “My Love Is Your Love” video was up for grabs, as well as a clear Schimmel grand piano, music awards, and forklift. Yes, a forklift.
7. She isn’t his girlfriend–literally… “Right now, I’m in a phase of ‘I’m not even your girlfriend. I’m your best friend who is madly in love with you.’” That’s Drew Barrymore gushing about rocker boyfriend Fab Moretti in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar. But according to Us Weekly, the E.T. star and the best friend she’s madly in love with are now splitsville. And he was such a step up from Tom Green.
8. Apparently, he has a good heart… Britney Spears is dating a 25-year-old model/actor named Isaac Cohen, who according to People magazine, bears a striking resemblance to Cletus—with decorum. “He’s got a great heart and a good family, and he was raised well. He’s a gentleman,” his agent told the glossy. Jury’s still out but looks as though Brit‘s made a lateral rebound.
9. It’s gotta be Cameron… She wouldn’t marry hottie Matt Dillon and now she let Justin Timberlake slip away. What is wrong with Cameron Diaz? Well, she can commiserate with newly single pal Drew Barrymore, or at least until Drew goes from off-again to on-again status with Fab Moretti. And Justin has reportedly moved on with “What, me, sexy?” Scarlett Johansson. We think she’s a steep step down for Justin.
10. Where there’s smoke, there’s Anna Nicole… Anna Nicole Smith said she will fight a court order from a judge to submit her baby daughter to a DNA test by January 23. Anna claims her greasy lawyer Howard K. Stern is the baby daddy, but her ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead insist he is. Here’s what we–and all rational people–think: Anna, if you’re so sure Howard’s the proud papa, take the test and get Larry out of your life already. If you’re not sure, take the test, resolve it, and deal with the consequences like a grown up. Fighting it is like pleading no contest, i.e., guilty!
