More stupid footage of Paris Hilton

If you didn't hate her enough already, here's another reason. Enjoy a drunk/stoned Paris singing "We Are Family" with lots of racial slurs while trying to dance with her then fiance, fashion model Jason Shaw. It's also Jason Shaw in all the other "exposed" videos of Paris...not just a random guy she met on the street. (Shocking, I know.)

Heidi Klum with no make-up

Now, some people are saying that supermodel Heidi Klum looks scary without make-up on. However, I think she looks great. She looks absolutely normal, and has flawless skin. Good for her! How many women do you know that will walk around town without a stitch of make-up, especially when there are cameras around? Yeah, I can't think of any either.

Paris sues ParisExposed.com

Paris Hilton is apparently a little upset about the launch of ParisExposed.com. The website shows Paris' personal photos, videos, medical records, and diaries that were were auctioned off for $2,775 when the heiress failed to pay a storage facility fee. Paris' belongings were later bought by ParisExposed for $10million, and now they're being sued by a very upset Hilton who is "appalled that people are exploiting my and my sisters' private personal belongings for commercial gain", and claims she's concerned that "the information could be used for identity theft or harassment".

Paris, I think you're actually more concerned about the photos of you smoking weed, the video of you smoking a tampon, and perhaps the video of you laughing while getting groped by Joe Francis as some guy snorts cocaine off of his own chest. Yeah, that is pretty appalling. Maybe you should have just paid the storage facility fee! Or maybe you should stop recording yourself doing stupid things...hmm, there's a thought.

Brandy hit with $50million lawsuit

At 10:30 AM on December 30, 2006, on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles, RnB singer Brandy accidentally caused a fatal car crash.The fatality in the crash resulted from the domino effect of Brandy's 2007 Land Rover striking a 2005 Toyota. The 2005 Toyota then hit a 1989 Toyota, while the 2005 Toyota slid sideways and hit the center divider. As the 2005 Toyota finally came to a stop, it was hit by a 1988 Acura. The driver of the 2005 Toyota, Awatif Aboudihaj, was immediately taken in critical condition to the Holy Cross Hospital and, sadly, died the next day.

Brandy admitted the crash was her fault at the scene, and now the California Highway Patrol is urging the LA City Attorney to criminally charge Brandy with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. However, now Brandy is also being sued by  Aboudihaj's family for $50million, for both compensatory and punitive damages.

Apparently, Najee Ali, who is the leader of Project Islamic HOPE, is claiming the CHP's recommendation to file charges against Brandy "is unfairly targeting her for prosecution because of her celebrity". Okay. Well, perhaps the $50million lawsuit is a bit much, but um...she killed someone because she wasn't paying attention while driving. That would be vehicular manslaughter. The CHP is treating her exactly like anyone else who did this.

What goes around comes around for the BB girls

It just gets better and better! Jade is currently in rehab, and apparently miffed at Jack Tweed - her 19-year-old boyfriend - who celebrated after leaving the BB house instead of rushing to her side. Jo's life is apparently "ruined" because of BB, has had death threats, and after her public meltdown on GMTV is currently under the watch of psychiatrists and nurses. And now, poor Danielle Lloyd's relationship with Teddy may be on the rocks, and her camp is hiring top media lawyers to investigate claims that Channel 4 edited her behaviour to purposely make her look bad...

Sorry, but you get what you give. Both Jo and Danielle are still just making excuses and are making it so much harder on themselves by not just admitting they were wrong. I don't care if their lives are in shambles or if their careers and lives are ruined. They spoke and acted exactly the way BB portrayed them. You cannot "edit" that to take it out of context. The best part, is that while they're  all in rehab and making excuses, Shilpa has been invited to meet with the Queen and Tony Blair. I love Karma.

Britney's got style, y'all!

We all know that Britney is slightly 'white trash', no? Today, Perez Hilton has some excellent photos of the mother of two, going through a McDonalds drive-through, and just looking very...well, chav. The Sun has a hilarious photo gallery of other "fashionably challenged" folks that seem to have influenced Britney's style of fashion...or lack there of, really. I'm wondering if she even has a stylist. And if not, why not?! She is the worst dressed, most poorly represented celebrity in Hollywood. It's not like she can't afford it, so why not put a little effort into your public image, instead of just posting stupid apologies on your website?

Sienna loves 'granny panties'

Sienna Miller wore a beautiful, white dress to the premiere for her movie Factory Girl in New York. However, she then changed into a miraculous pair of Bridget Jones style 'granny panties' for the after party...

...I think I speak for us all when I say, "WTF?!"

Racist? Go to rehab!

Okay. I've had enough. I'm tired of celebrities opening their big, fat mouth, saying something racist or prejudiced, and then entering rehab. I'm also sick of celebrities saying they'd like to "meet with the leaders" of the social group they have insulted. Mel Gibson's done it.  And now, Isaiah Washington has done both. He said he'd like to meet with the leaders of the gay community, and is currently in rehab. Rehab? How about getting fired, and facing actual consequences?

Now Jade is even going to rehab for "depression and stress" after realizing that she's the most hated person in Britain. While Jade is financially feeling the repercussions of her actions, she still accepted an invitation to go to India. Why? Does she think she'll make it better by pulling a publicity stunt? Why can't people just shut up, apologize, and just quietly go to get help? This "I'm going to rehab" crap is just old. Everyone's going to rehab. Get a therapist and just shut up! Why not just apologize, and take care of business?

KFed's Nationwide Insurance Commerical

KFed's Superbowl commercial for Nationwide Insurance is the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life. This is fantastic. Kevin completely makes fun of himself, and makes light of his current situation. Funny how you can win people over without flashing them your goods.The score? KFed 100, Britney -450...

Jermaine and the Jacksons dance

After we saw Jermaine Jackson doing his Jackson 5 routine in the Big Brother house, we all thought that he must have been cringing inside at dancing with Dirk. Well, maybe Jermaine was just having flashbacks to a time when he danced with another bumbling idiot! Enjoy.

Danielle Lloyd's interview with Davina

Danielle Lloyd. I will be ecstatic if I never have to hear her speak, lie, or make excuses for herself again. After losing two modelling contracts, the respect of her fans, and possibly even her footballer boyfriend; Danielle Lloyd was finally evicted from the Big Brother house yesterday. Watch as Danielle gets jeered as she leaves the house, and then giggles, plays stupid, and make excuses to Davina after watching the footage of her own racist comments. Danielle just quickly back tracks, apologises, and says that people "take advantage" of her naivety. Oh, the poor, innocent lamb. She's absolutely pathetic.

Oliver and Kylie splitting up?

It's rumoured that Oliver Martinez and Kylie Minogue's relationship is on the rocks. Apparently, Martinez has been seen with two different women, neither of whom were Minogue. It's been reported that model Sarai Givati was seen sneaking into Martinez's room at the Chateau Marmont hotel on Thursday. Also, Martinez supposedly had lunch with Lost actress Michelle Rodriguez, who was "seen" leaving his apartment the next morning...in the same clothes. There have been suspicions in the past that Givati and Martinez had a fling, but the press may be jumping to conclusions with Rodriguez. While they were seen kissing two years ago, it appears Rodriguez may have changed a bit since then...

Shilpa Shetty wins Big Brother

Good things do happen to good people! Shilpa Shetty won Big Brother last night, with Jermaine Jackson coming in second, and Dirk Benedict in third. I'd try to describe how fabulous she is, but it's better to just watch. She is such a gracious, and forgiving person. By far, the most eligible to win; especially after all the crap she had to put up with.

Britney sells her house

The house that the Spears-Federline family briefly called their home is up for sale. Yup, Brit and KFed's love nest is now on the market for £7 million. Britney bought the house for only £3.5 million, which includes a swimming pool, basketball court, and two-story playhouse. The value has apparently gone up since the family first moved in, as Britney added luxuries like a £1.5 million recording studio for her aspiring rapper husband. Britney's smart to sell, because that's £7 million KFed won't be able to get his stingy little fingers on.

Jade vs Chantelle in the Mastermind chair

With Celebrity Big Brother set to reach its climax on Sunday in the live final, it's worth having a look at two of BB's most notorious housemates going head-to-head. Chantelle Houghton won the nation's hearts by being the only non-celebrity in the BB house, and recently, Jade was much loved until her bullying and apparent racism. Well, if they went to battle in Mastermind, who would win?

Why I love Tyra Banks

After retiring from runway modelling, starting up her own talk show, and hosting America's Next Top Model, Tyra Banks has obviously put on a little bit of weight. At 5'10 and 161lbs, Banks has recently gained about 30lbs. Recent photos of Tyra in a bathing suit have been circulating the tabloids, with "journalists" calling her "fat". And what I love about Tyra Banks is that she speaks her mind. Gracing this week's cover of People Magazine, Tyra poses in her bathing suit and gives her critics a piece of her mind:

"I get so much mail from young girls who say, 'I look up to you, you're not as skinny as everyone else, I think you're beautiful.' So when they say that my body is 'ugly' and 'disgusting,' what does that make those girls feel like? I still feel hot, but every day is different. It's when I put on the jeans that used to fit a year ago and don't fit now and give me the muffin top, that's when I say, 'Damn!'. I've made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where's the pain in that? If I was in pain, I would have dieted. The pain is not there - the pain is someone printing a picture of me and saying those (horrible) things."

Nicole Kidman's car crashes during filming

The rig towing the stunt car Nicole Kidman was "driving" while filming The Invasion skidded while taking a corner at 45mph, sending the Jaguar into a pole. While Kidman was not injured, she was still taken to the hospital to be checked out. Like a trooper, she continued filming later that day. Thankfully, both Kidman and the other passenger, child actor Jackson Bond, were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash. The zombie like creatures that were on the top of her car at the time, were not.

Harper Collins drops paperback plans of Jade's autobiography

And the hits just keep on coming. Harper Collins have decided to ditch plans to release Jade Goody's autobiography in paperback because of her behavior on Big Brother. Despite the hardback edition making over £1million, Harper Collins said that moving forward with the paperback publications would be "inappropriate". Stores such as Boots, Debenhams, and the Perfume Shop have all taken Jade's perfume "Shh..." off of their shelves. Jade has even been dropped from the Act Against Bullying Campaign and from LIVINGtv, who produced the TV shows Just Jade, and Jade's PA. I almost feel a little bad for her...almost.

Heather Mills' sister uses website to address public

Heather Mills' sister, Fiona Mills, has posted a rather lengthy message to the public on Heather's official website. (Yes, my initial reaction was "Heather Mills has a website?!?", too.) It's a wee bit long, but still worth reading, as it's interesting to hear the Mills speak up.

"Heather does not deserve the hatred that the tabloid press have thrown at her. She is just one of many women getting a divorce. She has committed no crime and has been silent throughout but what good has it done? Heather's not a gold digger, liar or self-publicist for people to tear apart - she's a human being and a mother who has feelings and cares what her daughter will read in the future..."

Forget Jesus! Tom Cruise is my homeboy

When Katie Holmes married Tom Cruise, she wasn't just marrying a movie star. Oh, no. She was marrying the Messiah. Cruise was apparently told by the leaders of Scientology that he is like the "Christ of Scientology", and it is he that has been chosen to spread the word. A source told The Sun,"Like Christ, he's been criticised for his views. But future generations will realise he was right."

The thought of anyone referring Tom Cruise as "The Messiah" or "Christ-like" frightens me to my very core. Of course they praise him and think he's the greatest thing since Jesus! He's the only person crazy enough to represent this religion and won't shut up about it. He's a movie star with lots of money! This religion clearly benefits from his fame and fortune. "Messiah" my ass.

Jade has Indian government in a dilemma

Jade Goody apparently accepted an "official" invitation to visit India, and now has the Indian government in a bit of a dilemma. Ambika Soni, the ministry of tourism in India, is looking for an explanation from the tourism office in London and Ireland as to why they issued an advertisement inviting Jade to India. A senior congressman says that, ""How can the tourism office invite a person against whom our foreign office had expressed disapproval?"

Other government officials are also unhappy with this supposed "invite" saying that, "Goody is not a star who will attract welcoming crowds...people will be hostile." There are some in the tourism ministry that don't see the problem, and say that "everyone is welcome". However, the Indian government is still unwilling to provide the necessary protection for Goody, and say that she doesn't deserve "special treatment." And really, do you blame them?

Welcome to America, Posh & Becks

This photo almost renders me speechless. This frightening wax sculpture of the Beckhams being welcomed to America by President Bush has just been unveiled at Madame Tussauds in New York. It will stand in Times Square for two weeks, as it's on loan from London, so tourists can have their picture taken with the waxy British couple. Somewhere out there, Posh is weeping with joy.

Britney takes son lingerie shopping

I know we all wanted Britney to find some underwear, but she can't even seem to do that right. Accompanied by her son, and two gal pals, Britney sucked down a Frappuccino and paid a visit to the shop Trashy.Com. She's so gross. Why would you bring your son there? Does she ever stop to think what she's doing? Now, I've seen some ladies here in the UK bring their babies with them while they browse Ann Summers. Does it kinda weird me out? Yeah, a little. But for Britney to spend what little time she does with her son in place that boasts "Trashy Lingerie"? It's like she wants KFed to get full custody.

Lindsay makes a break for it

Apparently patients of the Wonderland Centre are allowed to leave the grounds to attend AA meetings or medical appointments. However, unless Lindsay hosts AA meetings in the dining room of her apartment, I doubt she's following the rules. Here's Lindsay, in a very tricky disguise, sneaking into her LA apartment. Now, I wonder what she's doing there? "Um, hold on. I just have to get some, um, vitamins from my bathroom. Yes. Vitamins...and, um, water! Yes. A bottle of water."

Jameson and Hilton looking for a few good virgins

Sometimes I just want to give up on being a human. Apparently Jenna Jameson and Paris Hilton will be teaming up on a reality TV show called Virgin Territory.  Produced by Kevin Blatt, the pervy producer of One Night in Paris, Hilton and Jameson's purpose on the show will to help a bunch of male virgins "lose it". Isn't this great? So when your parents said to "wait for someone special" they really meant to lose your virginity in a well documented TV show, with the help of a porn star and millionaire heiress.  Blatt predicts Territory will be more watched than One Night, and is even putting up billboards in Time Square and LA to help him find himself a few good virgins as "finding virgins in NYC or Los Angeles is no easy task!"

Davina pre-Big Brother

Davina McCall hasn't always been the host of Big Brother. Oh no. Before that she was 'a wild child', Eric Clapton's girlfried, the singer in a band, a model booker, a herion addict... phew... bit part in a Kylie video ('Word Is Out' if you're wondering) and presenter of Streetmate. Amongst all that, she was also the presenter of the extremely rowdy and drunken 'God's Gift'. See her in action in a PVC skirt.

Danielle Lloyd: "Can you see where I've had my Botox?"

How old is Danielle Lloyd? 23? Right? So then can you please explain to me why a 23 year old would need Botox? While doing her make-up, Danielle whispered to Jo, "Can you see where I've had my Botox?" Jo replied, "Nah." However, Danielle shoved her big forehead closer to Jo's face and insisted,"It's cos I'm scrunching my face!" Then, Jo finally noticed where a needle had been shoved in her face and said that it looked "weird". Seriously? Botox?  And I thought I strongly disliked her before. At least that would explain her fringe.

Jade's publicist says she was 'manipulated' by Big Brother

Okay. I'm sick of seeing, thinking, hearing, and writing about Jade Goody. However, she's "news worthy" I suppose. The latest with Jade is that she's apparently seeking treatment for "shock and depression". As expected, her publicist, John Noel, is jumping through hoops and rings of fire to better the situation. He's a publicist, that's what they do. However, I find Noel's take on Jade's situation hilarious. John Noel says not only is Jade a "victim of bullying herself at the hands of the media" but that,

"Jade has had the courage to say sorry, to face her critics and to try to make amends... but certain factions in the media will not be happy without blood. Aren't they doing to Jade what Jade is accused of doing? The question is whether she can turn it around and convince people that she was being manipulated by the programme, which was undoubtedly the case. Can she do it? Yes, but it is going to be difficult."

Undoubtedly the case? Bwahahahahah.

Paris ordered to do rehab

First Lindsay, now Paris. After being arrested for driving under the influence in September, Paris Hilton plead "no contest" to the charges placed against her. Her punishment? The millionaire heiress was ordered to pay a fine of $1,500 and must also attend an alcohol rehabilitation program. Hilton still gets to keep her driver's license, but is on probation for 36 months, and can reduce that down to 24 months if she completes 40 hours of community service. I can't believe she has to pay over a thousand dollars. My god. I sure hope she can afford it. Plus, I have a terrible feeling that her "community service" will be co hosting a "Sobriety...That's Hot" neighborhood, bikini clad, car wash with Lindsay Lohan.

Britney love US Weekly, as long as she's on the cover

Britney was seen last week catching up on some quality reading. Ya know, like, about herself. The past weekend was, of course, tiring as usual for Britney. She had to like, work and stuff, and go into the recording studio. Then she went to Hamburger Mary's with her gal pals, where she supposedly ignored a 15 year old fan until she left in a flood of tears. Britney also thought it would be "Like super funny, y'all" to kid the paparazzi into thinking she was "done" with her latest fling Isaac Cohen; and then show up at the Cabana Club in LA together the next day. Quality time with the kiddos? Who has the time?

Gisele blames families for anorexia, not fashion

Oh, this is good. Runway model Gisele Bundchen recently said that families are to blame for anorexia, not fashion. In an interview with the O Globo newspaper Bundchen said, "I never suffered this problem because I had a very strong family base...The parents are responsible, not fashion." Wow. Defensive and judgmental, much? What I love is Geisele told this to O Globo while she was visiting Brazil, where four women died last month from anorexia nervosa, including model Ana Carolina.

Bundchen might as well have gone up Carolina's parent's and said, "By the way, this is your fault." I suppose it's a lot easier for one of fashion's most successful models to defend her industry and blame parents, than take responsibility for it. Gisele preaching that you should be healthy, and eat, and love your body would probably come off a bit hypocritical, no?

John Mayer has perfect punishment for Washington

With the masses all calling for Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington to be fired for his "F bomb" scandal, John Mayer seems to have devised the perfect plan for his demise. Mayer, on his personal blog, wrote that the perfect punishment for Washington would be for his character, Dr.Burke, to announce that he's gay: "What better way for an actor to get to the roots of his discrimination than by portraying the very the subject of his own ire for the remainder of his contract?" But of course! He's even written sample scenes for the Grey's writing staff to use. You can read them here; complete with the "Dr.Burke at a Scissor Sisters concert" scene.

Danielle follows suit and apologizes to Shilpa

Amazingly, I find Danielle's apology to Shilpa just as lame as Jade's. Danielle crouched down by Shilpa's bed last night and apologized for her behaviour. Actually, it seemed like she made excuses for her behaviour. Danielle said, "I didn't agree with some of the things you said to Jade, but I especially didn't agree with some of the things that Jade said to you." She also went on to blame her disgusting behavior on her age, calling herself "young and quite naive". She also said she was just following the leader, and is "intimidated by Jade" who is a much "stronger person". BAH!

Danielle is 23 years old. She is not 15. She is an adult, and a grown woman. How old do you have to be to stop blaming your "mean girl" mentality and actions on following someone else's lead and your age and naivety? That's passing blame and using your age as a cop out; not taking responsibility for your behaviour. Shilpa, however, was very gracious, but told Danielle, "You have to have your own identity." Or grow up. Either one. Danielle is just doing the same as Jade, again, by apologizing to make herself look better to the viewers. Too little, too late.

Jade tries to make nice with Shilpa

Call me cynical and cold, but I think that Jade's apology to Shilpa was a load of crap. Yesterday Jade pulled Shilpa aside and hugged and apologized for the whole Oxo cube incident. Jade said, "I know that what has happened has not been nice for you... and a lot of stuff got said the other day from you and from myself...I was angry of the fact that I'd let you make me get so angry over a cube!"

Oh. Okay, Jade. That makes it better. Jade also explained that even though she called Shilpa a "Shilpa Poppodom" she didn't mean it in a "racial way". So, how would you call someone a "Poppodom" but not in a racial way? Shilpa just hugged Jade back and said that she didn't think Jade was racist. I still think her apology is full of crap, as she just wants to look better, "play the game", and not get evicted. Jade's apologizing for her own benefit; not to make nice with Shilpa.

Jade and Shilpa up for eviction

Tonight is the night! Shilpa and Jade are both up for eviction! How interesting this will be. Gee, who wants to bet Jade gets evicted? I certainly hope Channel 4 has a plan on how to sneak her out of the house so she won't get stoned or mobbed to death. Channel 4 announced that it will donate a portion of tonight's voting profits charity. The money will be split up equally between the house mates, and then donated to charities of their choice. While that sounds peachy, only a fifth of the profits will go to charity, and Channel 4 is still expected to make £2million tonight. But, after Carphone Warehouse has suspended its sponsorship of the station, it can use all the help it can get.

Don't forget to vote!

Shilpa finally speaks up

This clip is priceless. I just want to play it over, and over, and over again. Not only does Shilpa tell Jade to "shut up" multiple times, but yells,"Your only claim to fame is THIS. Good for you!" Bwahahahahah! I love it. Shilpa definitely exaggerated when she said "That's the only thing I ordered!" However, she did take it back, and yet Jade still goes off like a crazed bull. Enjoy!

The levels of bitching according to Big Brain

On Channel 4's Big Brother website, Big Brain has written a hilarious article examining the different levels of bitching that are used in the house. You will easily be able to tell who he's talking about, nod furiously,and then laugh yourself silly. Absolutely hilarious. Big Brain says,

"Base Bitching -- This takes the form of insults that are exaggerated and little more than childish name-calling."

"Bond Bitching -- This is where you see two housemates bitching about a third, sitting together and whispering. This is bond-bitching with two purposes firstly to cement a relationship with one another by confiding and the other is conspirational."

And for the two highest, most deadly levels of bitching?

"Assassination Bitching -- This is like applying a shotgun to a victim's head and pulling the trigger. It challenges the victim's character and creates a new view of them in both the public and the housemate's eyes."

"Scorched Earth Bitching -- This is really the most strategic form of bitching presenting the bitch in a good light while destroying other relationships in one fell swoop. For example, kindly telling someone what others have said about them, then waiting for the bomb to explode. The ripple effect of these strategic bitch-fests have the most long term damage."

Oh, how accurate these levels are!

T.R. Knight talks on Ellen

Last October there was the huge amount of drama surrounding the TV show Grey's Anatomy. Apparently, Isaiah Washington referred to cast mate T.R. Knight as a "f****t" while arguing with Dr.McDreamy Patrick Dempsey. Washington has made statements denying the incident, and that, "There is no way I could do anything so vile." Talk of the controversy died down over the past few months, until Washington brought it up again during interviews at the Golden Globes. He's sticking to his story by denying he ever said such a thing, and added the pompous comments of, "I love gay. I wanted to be gay. Please let me be gay."

It would be really nice to think that Washington never said such a thing, but after watching the interview below, with Ellen DeGeneres and T.R. Knight, you may start to wonder why the hell Washington still has a job. TV Guide's Michael Ausiello recently wrote an article wondering the exact same thing. Ausiello said Washington's "continued employment on a show that wears its diversity as a badge of honor is the height of hypocrisy". He also went on to say that ABC should do "the right thing" and "fire Washington".

Especially with the racial controversy surrounding the Big Brother house in the UK, it really makes one wonder if these TV stations really care about the well being of their cast, or just making entertaining television. Bullying should be unacceptable. Making racist and offensive comments that degrade someone's lifestyle or background is disgusting. So, why are television stations such as ABC and Channel 4 not growing more of a backbone and setting a proper example?

Lindsay Lohan is in rehab

Lindsay Lohan has checked herself into the Wonderland Centre in Los Angeles to undergo rehab and detox treatment. Finally! This is probably the most intelligent decision she has ever made. I just wish more of her party buddies would follow suit. Lindsay has released this statement saying,

"I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health. I appreciate your well-wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time." 

Hopefully, this stint in rehab won't just be another one of her "I'm in the hospital" gags, and she stays in rehab for a long, long time. She needs it.

Watch the BB girls lie and talk trash

I've come to the conclusion that Danielle Lloyd is just an two faced, lying, nasty girl. I already knew Jade Goody was a lost cause, but the way Danielle and Jo O'Meara have been following Jade's lead is pathetic. This really does give an inside look of what some girls can unfortunately be like behind their "sister's" back. This first clip is of Danielle, Jo, and Jade lying around on their asses complaining about Shilpa not cooking them dinner at the appropriate time, and saying that it looks "gross". The nerve and mean nature of these "celebrities" is truly ghastly.

After seeing how nasty Danielle is about Shilpa's cooking; watch how Danielle calls Shilpa a "dog" and then, less than three minutes later, says she's "truly grateful" that Shilpa cooks for her. I also love how Danielle calls her "such a nice and beautiful girl". Somehow "dog" and "beautiful girl" don't seem to quite match up. I'm really wondering how Channel 4 doesn't think Shilpa's being bullied.

Barker and Moakler still getting divorced

Rumours have been circulating that Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler have gotten back together. Perez Hilton's reported that they're on a "tour of love" and were seen cuddling at Disneyland. However, Shanna has decided to speak up and squash the rumors on her Myspace blog.

Shanna wrote, "Travis and i are not back together. we are working on being good friends and even better parents, we did celebrate our daughters first birthday at disney with our friends and family and our children it was really fun!" Who cares that Shanna doesn't like to punctuate things correctly, or use capital letters! She's apparently punched Paris Hilton in the face, and that's all I need to know. And kudos to them for pretending to get along for the sake of the children.

Lembit Opik and Cheeky Girl are a "meeting of minds"

While liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik admits that his relationship with Cheeky Girl Gabriela Irimia makes them the "oddest couple in Britain"; he claims their love is a "meeting of minds" and based on "intellect". (Insert wild laughter here.) While Gabi doesn't like to discuss claims that she is £130,000 in debt, a decision she's based on how Paul McCartney is handling his divorce, she will openly talk about her relationship with Lembit across eight pages of Hello!

Lembit says, "Gabi is insightful, bright, sharp, challenging, very funny and pretty strong-minded. She challenges me intellectually...our relationship is not based on lust." By "challenges me intellectually" does he mean that Gabi quizzes him on Cheeky Girl lyrics over tea? Or perhaps each morning Lembit tries to guess which colour underwear Gabi's going to wear that day...I can imagine the intensity level of their conversations and philosophical debates is purely mind shattering.

BB viewers outraged by "racial abuse"

The complaints of "racial abuse" towards Shilpa Shetty in the Big Brother house have reached over 20,000. 7,600 of those complaints were made to Osfom on Tuesday evening, alone. Channel 4 has recently received an petition signed by 10,000 viewers, along with over 2,000 phone call and email complaints. One concerned viewer has even gone to the police.

However, Channel 4 is sticking to their statement of "we take this matter very seriously and Big Brother does not tolerate bullying or racist abuse in any form." From what I've seen, Channel 4 has a higher tolerance for "bullying" than most, and obviously, quite a bit of their viewers. At least The Act Against Bullying charity has dropped Jade Goody as its patron...and who knows what will happen to her once she leaves the protection of the Big Brother house.

Girlish drama in the BB House

Watch the drama unfold between Shilpa, Jade, and Danielle. It's rather annoying to hear them all gab and shriek at each other like seagulls fighting over the last crumb of bread. However, it's entertaining, nonetheless.

And here is a little gem with Jackiey Goody claiming she can't pronounce Shilpa's name correctly and claims it's "not her fault". Enjoy the pointless argument, and revel in the fact that Jackiey is out of the house.

Racial abuse in the Big Brother house?

The number of complaints Ofcom have received about alleged racial abuse in the Celebrity Big Brother house has reached 2,000. This alleged racial abuse is said to have been directed at Shilpa Shetty, from numerous house mates. Evicted house mate Jackiey Budden referred to Shetty as "the Indian" and refused to correctly pronounce her name. Some other ladies in the house such as Jo O'Meara, Danielle Lloyd, and Jade Goody, have all reportedly mocked Shetty's accent, as well as the pronunciation of her name.

However, the highest amounts of complaints were about an argument between Shetty and Jack Tweed, in which Tweed called Shetty a name that was bleeped out by the producers. The audience automatically thought Tweed has used a racial slur, and therefore complained. However, Channel 4 claims Tweed called her the taboo "C word", and not a racially degrading term. (Not that the "C word" is much better.) Channel 4 has not received any personal complaints from Shetty and says, "We don't tolerate any racist abuse in any form."

We've known for a while that the girls in the BB house don't particularly like Shetty. I wonder if everyone is just being too sensitive and jumping to conclusions. However, the girls really need to watch their mouths and realize how their actions could be construed as racist. I think the other BB girls just have a problem with Shilpa Shetty partly because of how she acts, and partly because she is a very beautiful girl. However, they need to remember that they're on national television, and will eventually have to leave that house and face the public.

Jermaine peels potatoes first thing in the morning

Apparently, there was a large silence over the Celebrity Big Brother house for approximately seven hours, fifty-four minutes and seventeen seconds. After the arguments surrounding the house mate's food supply, everyone went off to sleep, and the house fell into a state of silence. Perhaps the strangest thing was when Jermaine woke up at 7:30am and began to vigorously peel potatoes. Yes, you read that correctly. Jermaine woke up and started vigorously peeling potatoes. The awkward silence was finally broken when Ian stumbled in the kitchen and asked Jermaine how he slept, to which Jermaine replied, "Rock." I was half hoping he would have just grunted whilst pounding his chest yelling "Me like potato!"...but, unfortunately, that didn't happen.

Cohen wins Golden Globe for Borat performance

Sacha Baron Cohen won a Golden Globe award last night for his performance as the Kazakh reporter Borat. I don't know if this necessarily surprises me, as it was a mildly popular film. However, he beat out Johnny Depp, who was thought to be the front runner, and Will Ferrell, as well. I personally enjoyed that in his acceptance speech Cohen uses the words "anus and testicles". So classy.

The Brits did very well at the Golden Globes, as Helen Mirren was awarded two Globes; one for her performance as Elizabeth II in The Queen, and the other as Elizabeth I in the TV drama of the same name. For the most part, I feel as though all awards were well deserved, even though Leonardo DiCaprio lost the Best Actor award, despite being nominated twice in the same category. Ouch.

Jake Gyllenhaal on SNL

Jack Gyllenhaal hosted Saturday Night Live this past weekend, and had a hilarious opening monologue. Jake does a Dream Girls skit for two "just regular" cowboys, and for his new "unique" fans. It's no "$%#! In A Box", but it's still highly entertaining. Who knew he could sing so well?

Britney pretends to be a good mom

See? She's a good mom! She takes her kids to the park! These pictures scream, "Please! Take my picture! See? I love my babies!" Britney's also trying to prove that she's still a good dog owner, as she was pictured this week with her manager, Larry Rudolph, her son, and chihuahua Bit Bit. Sorry, we're not buying it. Nice try. Maybe if you didn't push your kid in a swing with one hand, while holding your designer handbag in the other, we might think you were a little bit more genuine.

Is Jade the cause for poor BB ratings?

The ratings fro Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother are at an all time low. From 7.1 million viewers on the first night, to a low 2.8 million this Saturday, it seems the Big Brother viewers only account for 11.9 per cent of the total audience share. Jade Goody's reappearance in the BB house was supposed to be Channel 4's master plan for achieving high ratings, however, Goody has already caused 3 cast members to voluntarily leave the house.

William HIll's spokesperson says, "Jade is supposed to be this year's Chantelle-style gimmick but having her in the house has backfired horribly." Although Channel 4 claims there's still a "large interest" in the house, we beg to differ. I think everyone, especially Jermaine, is tired of her loud mouthed antics.

In Australia they have a glittering awards ceremony called The Logies. One year, they invited Joan Rivers. Now, knowing that Joan has a wit made entirely from vinegar, I'm not sure what Oz public expected, but I know it wasn't what they got. Basically, Joan Rivers slagging off everyone at the ceremony. Whilst she's absolutely wasted. Tremendous!

Jade may have had liposuction

Rumour has it that Jade Goody's new, slimmer figure is not all thanks to her workout DVD. The Metro and The Sun have both reported a source close to Jade as saying that her weight loss is mostly due to liposuction. Apparently she spent over £4,000 in plastic surgery at a clinic in Leicester. The clinic refused to comment, and since Jade is back in the Big Brother house, her publicist cannot contact her for a comment. I don't personally care what Jade does. No matter how much surgery she has done, or doesn't have done, she will still talk and act the same. Isn't that why everyone just loves her to bits, anyway?

BB House not happy with Shilpa Shetty

Apparently the Big Brother ladies are not happy with Shilpa Shetty. This is to be expected, as Shilpa doesn't have beard or tail, and therefore all the other girls must hate her. Jade's mom supposedly can't pronounce her name, and Danielle Lloyd has claimed the same. I actually believe Danielle though, it IS hard to pronounce words with more than one syllable.

Danielle claims, "I asked for smoked mackerel and whatsername, Shullup, just looked at me like I was stupid. She's so controlling and bossy. I don't like that." Jade Goody and Jo O'Mera both agree she's "too fake", while journalist Carole Malone things that Shilpa has "done nothing wrong". Sigh. Perhaps if she had just known what a "punani" was, maybe they would like her a little bit more.

"Desperate Housewives" dolls

If you ever wanted to see Marcia Cross slap Terri Hatcher, or Eva Langoria naked; your dreams have just come true. Yes, the Desperate Housewives dolls are here.

The show's creator, Marc Cherry, worked with the Alexander Doll Company to make these dolls as promotional items for the show. What bothers me, is that this is an adult show, yet dolls are children's toys, no? Do you really want your little girl playing with a Nicolette Sheridan doll? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Britney still has a job!

Britney Spears, despite rumours that she will be dropped from her record label Jive, will still continue to record her new album under the label's name. An insider tells Fox News, “Let’s put it this way; she’s just a hit away from being back. Why drop her now?” They have a good point. While she is drunkity, drunk, drunk most of the time, the public still pays attention to her and would buy her latest album, even if just out of curiosity.

I beg to differ with Fox News' opinion that Jive dropping a "single mother of two" wouldn't sit well with the public. I think she would survive for a while if she "lost her job" with Jive. Plus, the world is more uncomfortable with the concept of a rich "single mother of two" partying every night, instead of making macaroni and cheese for her children.

EastEnders star suspended for explicit texts

EastEnder Robert Kazinsky has been suspended from filming his hit TV show for two months, due to Kazinsky bombarding a model with sexually explicit text messages and photos. But to keep the story lines intact, Kizinsky will continue filming until February, and then his two month suspension will take place.

An EastEnders spokesman explained the decision to suspend Kazinsky came about after an article about the scandal was published in the January 7th edition of Sunday People. The spoksman also explained that, "...In addition, Robert Kazinsky would like to apologise for any offence caused to EastEnders' viewers and for bringing the show into disrepute." Looks stars of EastEnders like have a taste for trouble both on, and off TV.

Celebrity patents on the new Google Patents website

Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese call it quits

Burlesque Queen Dita Von Teese has filed for a divorce from her wife husband, rocker Marilyn Manson. Von Teese has sited the typical Hollywood excuse for the divorce as "irreconcilable differences". I wonder if the said "differences" were arguments of  "No I'M the prettiest!!" or if Manson lost one of Von Teese's feather boas after he borrowed it without asking.

Apparently Von Teese filed for divorce before Christmas, but it wasn't until now that she could even find Manson to serve him the papers. A "friend"told Page Six, "She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can't even get him on the phone. She's moved out of the house and he hasn't even noticed." Nice, huh? You'd think after a seven year long courtship and one year of marriage it wouldn't be so ugly this early in the divorce proceedings.

Oh the interesting conversations that come about in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Apparently, Shilpa Shetty doesn't know what the term "punani" means, but Jermaine Jackson does. Jermaine has that same creepy, soft voice as his brother Jacko, and hearing him say the words "private parts" is just plain creepy. Almost as seeing him dance in tight pants...

Angelina lashes out against Madonna

Santa Angelina has lashed out against Madonna for adopting her son from Malawi, where adoption is illegal,"Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born. It's a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal."

Angelina is known for her work as an Good Will Ambassador for the United Nations, so I can understand why it would bother her that Madonna's sole purpose for going to Malawi, was to adopt a child. Now, yes, Madonna's adoptive son will have a much better quality of life than he would have had back in Africa...but it just seems a touch "monkey see, monkey do" on Madonna's part.

Spend your weekend with the stars

It's Friday, again, folks! And what better gift to thyself than schmoozin' with 'slebs? Today, you can see Cirque de Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall in London. It's rumored stars like Will Young, Kate Lawler, and Katie Meula will be attending, so who knows who you'll see there. Even if you don't see any celebrities, you'll still have a very entertaining evening!

Saturday you can take a shot at being a celebrity yourself! The first Big Brother open auditions are taking place today in Glasgow. There are no big celebrity events planned on Sunday, but Monday make your way to Leicester Square to catch a glimpse of Will Smith at the premiere of his latest movie The Pursuit of Happyness. It's also David Bowie's 60th birthday Monday, so who knows will be in London!

It would be just like Little House in the Prairie...with paparazzi.

Kate Middleton gets police protection

I'm starting to think the Metro is secretly run by hundreds of women who are just desperate to get married. Now, I see where they're going with this story, but I still think everyone needs to calm down with their speculations that Kate Middleton and Prince William are engaged. They could be. They might be. They may never. But, we just don't know. Kate was pictured at about 3am this morning leaving Boujis with Prince William with two police vans as their escorts.

Strange? Not really. He's bloody royalty. However, what is strange is Kate suddenly has police officers standing guard at her Chelsea home. Considering she is of no royal title, she is not entitled to this kind of protection. However, the Metro points out that if she were engaged to the Prince, she would be eligible for the police protection. Maybe the police are doing a favor to the Prince? Or should we all prepare for an engagement announcement, as Kate's 25 birthday is next Tuesday? Hmmmm....

Britney goes to clubs, not rehab

Well, this never happens, but it appears the tabloids have been wrong. I know it's shocking. Please, try to remain calm. It looks as though Britney Spears is unfortunately not in rehab, and is out on the town, as per usual. Britney was spotted this week partying at a Hollywood club with one of her dancers, and doesn't she look ravishing? Her babysitter manager Larry Rudolph tells USA today,

"She understands what's going on right now, and she calls it her 'rocky moment.' Britney knows exactly what she needs to do. I'm not defending [her behavior], and she's not defending it. [With regards to New Year's eve] we were sitting there drinking orange juice. She got tired in a club, and we took her back to her room. Suddenly, I'm hearing words like 'collapsed' and 'passed out.' From what they've been seeing and hearing, I understand the disappointment [from fans]."

Rudolph is so dillusional that he even believes that Britney can regain the respect of her fans,

"...But Britney is increasingly motivated to get out there. She sees this as a challenge, that some fans may be questioning her. She is respectful. She sees this as her challenge to win them back. She's taking all the right steps. Britney Spears will be back and absolutely at the top of the entertainment industry very soon."

Talk is cheap, Rudy.

With Leo Sayer's entrance into the Big Brother house last night, we can only be sure of one thing: Things are going to be weird.

Britney Spears goes to rehab?

Britney Spears. Downward spiral. Drunk. Hyde. Paris Hilton..yada yada, yada, yada. Unless you've been under a rock, or are foolishly uninterested in the lives of celebrities, you know all about Britney's lame excuse for a comeback. So, you'll be terribly underwhelmed to hear that Britney's reportedly checked herself into Sanctuary for exhaustion. (Aka rehab for being a Drunk Slob all day, every day.)

Exhaustion? What the hell reason does she have to be exhausted? Yes, Britney, taking the time to pull on a pair of knickers in the morning IS rather tiring. Especially if you do it everyday. My God. The energy it takes. Plus, being forced to host a New Years Eve party at a posh Las Vegas club is so, like, totally frickin' tiring. Even if "hosting" does only mean you have to put forth enough energy to count BACKWARDS and then on top of that somehow manage to howl "Happy F***ing New Year!". Yeah. You better rest, girl. That's rough.

Jermaine Jackson part of the Big Brother cast

So, Jermaine Jackson is one the cast members of Celebrity Big Brother. Why? I think I may have found the reason. This magical music video will make you sweat, ladies. I have a feeling Big Brother just has high hopes that Jermaine will be wearing his white, Lycra pants in the house. And what a treat that would be! I know you're all devastated Tara Reid didn't make the cut, so hopefully this will cheer you up!

Angelina Jolie protrayed as The Virgin Mary in painting

Look, I think Angelina Jolie is wonderful.  I really respect and admire her for all she has done with the UN, and her philosophies on adoption and children. I do. I've always been on "Team Jolie". However, this painting is ridiculous, and I'm sure Angelina would agree.

This, um, different painting is titled "Blessed Art Thou" and was painted by the artist Katie Kretz. If you're in the States you'll be able to see this lovely piece of art at the Chelsea Galleria booth at the Art Miami Fair this weekend. I can only imagine the crowds, lining up for hours, just so they can kneel and pray in the presence of this painting. Amen.

Are Cameron and Justin still together?

There's a lot of buzz online and in the tabloids that Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz have broken up. Apparently the last time they were hounded by the paparazzi spotted together was on December 16 when Cameron introduced Justin on Saturday Night Live. It's reported they spent the holidays apart, and broke up sometime mid December.

Not that anyone really cares, but I hope the reports aren't true. Sure, the tabloids were right about Ben and Jen, and Jen and Brad, and even Britney and Justin. However, I liked them together! Plus, Cameron punches the paparazzi! If that's not bringing sexy back, I don't know what is. What worries me is now everyone will go off on a "Oooooh! Britney is SINGLE! Justin is SINGLE!! They're going to get BACK TOGETHER!" tangent, and God I really hope not. For Justin's sake...and for all that is good in the world.

YouTube Video of the Day - Tara Reid D-Listed by club

With rumours that Tara Reid may be getting ready to go into the Big Brother house, it may be worth looking at just how famous she is. If the Big Brother bosses think she is, well, this club in the US certainly doesn't agree. Watch this video to see Tara drop from A-List to D-List as Paris Hilton swans in and gives her 'the look'.

Celebrity Big Brother cast and house

Behold the new Celebrity Big Brother house! I can see why half of these people go crazy in here...

The only confirmed cast members of the show are Ian Watkins, Donny Tourette, Danielle Lloyd, and Shilpa Shetty. The Sun reports that it is likely Justin Hawkins, ex front man of The Darkness, Julie Goodyear and Dirk Benedict will also join the cast. Other sources say US party tramp girl Tara Reid will be making an appearance as well. If this is true, I pray for everyone's sanity...well, what they have left, anyway. To see more photos of the house, go here.

KFed appears on "Monday Night Raw" again

I never thought I would be jealous of a wrestler, but I am. WWE star John Cena has not only got to kick the snot out of Kevin Federline once, but now twice! With about nine seconds left of his 15 minutes of fame, KFed appeared for a second time on WWE's "Monday Night Raw" last night. You can watch the second round here, but please enjoy watching part one of the smack down first. Enjoy living vicariously through John Cena. I believe the best part is when the announcer screeches, "You cannot do this! That's BRITNEY SPEARS' HUSBAND! We're gonna be sued!!"

YouTube Video of the Day - Kylie in the broomcupboard

With Kylie back on song with a successful  New Year's Eve show, it's worth remembering that Ms. Minogue has been in our hearts for  nearly twenty years! So, seeing as Kylie is obviously a fan of high camp, let's see her back in 1991 being interviewed by Andi Peters and Ed the Duck in the broom cupboard. Oo-er missus.

Box clever with a Sylvester Stallone mannequin

He's making a big-screen comeback in Rocky Balboa, and Sly Stallone appears to be racing up the eBay charts too. Bayraider has found a life-size mannequin of the actor from his Cliffhanger days, which is rather cheekily being sold as a Rocky Balboa item. They are throwing in some boxing gear, though.

Also today on Bayraider: Orson Welles' trophy cup from Citizen Kane, and a paper cup used by Elvis Presley on stage in 1976.

Kylie Minogue triumphs at her New Year's Eve comeback show

That's her UK comeback, obviously, as she'd already played a few gigs back home in Oz. Anyway, it sounds like the 12,000 Londoners who chose to see in the New Year at Kylie's Wembley Arena gig got a treat.

The Mirror has a review of the show, which lasted for three hours and involved six costume changes, including a catsuit, a skintight leopard costume and, er, "a skirt that paid homage to Aussie-icon Dame Edna Everage". As you do. What's more, Kylie even managed to squeeze in an offstage snog with boyfriend Olivier Martinez at the stroke of midnight. Good work!

Those six hours of rehearsals a day obviously paid off. For the tour, I mean. She doesn't have to practise kissing Olivier. At least, you'd hope not.

Jordan's baby Harvey badly burnt in accident

No flippancy from me about this story: Jordan and Peter Andre saw in the new year NOT with the glitzy party they'd planned, but instead were at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London keeping watch over Jordan's son Harvey, who was badly burnt in an accident at home on Sunday.

The couple haven't said how the accident happened, but they immediately cancelled their planned New Year's Eve bash and a family holiday in order to keep vigil at the hospital. Apparently Harvey's condition is "stable", although he could be in hospital for a while. Best of luck for his recovery.

In other news, no sign of Peter'n'Jordan's duets album in the Top 40. But sales will surely pick up as it makes its way into bargain bins.

Kate and Pete get married...kind of

Kate Moss and Pete Doherty apparently got married in Thailand yesterday. A barefoot Kate and "sober" Pete participated in a Buddhist ceremony in a villa overlooking Phuket beach, where their heads were sprinkled with water as they were announced "man and wife".

However, this ceremony is not legally binding in the UK, and their "real" wedding is rumored to be taking place on January 18. Sigh. While Pete has been charged with a two year long supervision order for his drug offenses and is apparently sober, I can't help but wonder what the hell Kate's thinking?

Pete is the British Kevin Federline. Hopefully, Kate won't get pregnant next month and start wandering around London barefoot, slurping Frappuccinos and screaming, "Y'all are crazy!" at the paparazzi. I wonder if two years from now Pete will learn about Kate filing for divorce on TV.

Britney passes out in Las Vegas club

  Does this surprise you? Yeah, I didn't think it would. Apparently, while dancing and drinking champagne on New Year's Eve, Britney suddenly fainted. Her body guards swiftly covered her in black poncho, and carried her out of the club, making sure no pictures were taken of the incident.

Her manager, Larry Rudolph released a statement saying, "'She had been travelling all day. She got really tired. It was a late night for her." Whatever.  Is anyone else just sick of her? Can you imagine being her manager and having to constantly make up creative excuses and play "clean up" for her?  Britney, seriously. Go home and knit your baby some booties or something.
