1. Bye, bye, miss American Pie… Tara Reid comes clean about her botched plastic surgery in Us Weekly. The American Pie star said she decided to have plastic surgery to fix her lop-sided cleavage–and then underwent liposuction to make her muscles appear more sculpted, but added, “My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing.” Tara said she’s since had reconstructive surgery and insists her life is back on track. The star gave no explanation, however, for her cancelled E! series Taradise.
2. Little Miss Shanna sees through Paris… Former Miss USA Shanna Moakler blasted Paris Hilton for pulling stunts in the media. Shanna is referring to the police report Paris filed against her, alleging the Meet the Barkers reality TV star “shouted obscenities” and punched her in the face at Los Angeles nightclub Hyde. Shanna said she never touched Paris, telling PageSix.com: “I don’t think she’s a good person. She makes a lot of money pulling these stunts in the media.” Plus, we suspect the beauty queen is probably peeved about all the times Paris illicitly wore a tiara without ever being crowned anything.
3. Gone in 60 Seconds… Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were forced to flee paparazzi in India in a motorized rickshaw. Angelina and Brad are staying are staying at the Le Meridian hotel in Pune while the actress is shooting scenes for her new movie A Mighty Heart. And although they’ve always eluded the paparazzi in every car make and model imaginable, will a rickshaw be enough to save the family from this particularly dangerous high stakes caper? Stay tuned!
4. But no one else wants to play… Wilmer Valderrama said he has no regrets about revealing details of his sexcapades with Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ashlee Simpson on Howard Stern‘s radio show in March because he was only being playful. “Obviously, we know the media loves to get a little confirmation of a story line, and that is all they needed and they ran with it,” he explains. “I don’t really have a real opinion about it anymore. I am so past it already.”
5. You’re the boss of me, now… Tom Cruise has hired a team of babysitters to care for Suri so his baby momma Katie Holmes can lose the baby weight and squeeze into her Chanel gown for their November wedding. Why are we not surprised?
6. We said, “We bet they’ll never make it”… But just look at them holding on. Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have signed up to star side-by-side in the fifth season of The Simple Life. The pair was once a team, fell out and now apparently the beat the odds together. Are we the only ones thinking we’ve been set up?
7. It’s all a pack of lies… Jennifer Aniston told Oprah Winfrey that she and Vince Vaughn are not broken up. Jen’s always been mum to the press about her relationship with Vince, and her denying the split is actually her first admission of it. Jen also insisted she hadn’t gotten breast implants, adding that when she gains weight, it goes to her chest. Isn’t everyone already over Jen‘s weepy sessions with Oprah yet?
8. Apparently, we are all to blame… Mel Gibson said he made anti-Semitic remarks when he was arrested for drunk driving because he was mad at being accused of anti-Semitism. Mel told Good Morning America host Diane Sawyer he was still angry over accusations that his 2004 film featured anti-Semitic imagery. “As you know, a couple of years ago I released the film Passion,” Mel rationalized. “Even before anyone saw a frame of the film, for an entire year, I was subjected to a pretty brutal sort of public beating. The film came out. It was released, and you could have heard a pin drop, you know. Even the crickets weren’t chirping… But the other thing I never heard was one single word of apology.” Um, we’re just guessing that’s because it did have anti-Semitic imagery?
9. And that’s why Joan’s all mad… Joan Rivers urged TV viewers to boycott Mel‘s interview with Sawyer. “He is an anti-Semitic son of a bitch. He should f**king die,” she told Celebrity Week. “I think everyone should not watch the interview with Diane Sawyer. The hypocrisy is what I hate. You know it’s all about ratings and Diane Sawyer has them all when she’s married to a Jewish guy–Mike Nichols. It’s ridiculous because she’ll get great ratings and (Gibson) will be back in business.”
10. The Dalai Lama made her do it… Elle Macpherson has dropped plans to file a lawsuit against rival supermodel Heidi Klum stealing her nickname “The Body” after being inspired by a meeting with the Dalai Lama. She says, “A few people have made me stop in my tracks and the Dalai Lama would be one of them. It’s no big deal for me. She can have it.” See how a chat with a Buddhist spiritual leader can change one’s petty perspective?
