J-Lo new look

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 13:36:00 +0000

It has been confirmed by Jennifer Lopez’s dad that she is expecting twins and look at her here. Woman is big and very uncomfortable looking. Don’t you agree it looks like she would rather be at home in sweats. I know I would be if I was her. And why would a designer make her a dress that looks like that? Really was there something that she did to them to make them want revenge? But we must give her props for still rockin’ the high heels. Why to go J-Lo. It can only be days away until the two new additions show up!

Kirsten Dunst in Rehab

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 13:35:00 +0000

Kirsten Dunst is now the most recent star to stay at Cirque Lodge. Reports are out that Kirsten checked herself in to the Lodge for some much needed help. There was talk flying aruond at Sundance that Kirsten was acting a bit loopy and she also failed to show up for her own party one day. Not a good thing to do if you are hosting. It seems her friends think that Kirsten is not in a good place right now and Heath’s death could have shown her the light. Well KiKi, hopefully only one round at the Cirque will work for you.

Heath Ledger’s funeral was held in Austrila on Saturday. Michelle Williams was there at the private service with Heath’s family and friends. This was private funeral and it all ended in such a perfect way. At the end of the day everyone was on the beach watching the sun set and then people decided to take a dip in the ocean. On better way to say good bye then swimming in the ocean as the sun sets.

Lohan May Dodge the World's Biggest Bullet

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:38:00 +0000

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ there is a "strong possibility" the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office will NOT file felony charges against Lindsay Lohan in connection with her two DUI arrests.

We're told charges may be filed tomorrow, and the D.A. is leaning toward rejecting three possible felonies. Sources say the D.A. almost certainly will not file cocaine charges in connection with her DUI bust Memorial Day weekend in Beverly Hills.

As for her July 24 arrest in Santa Monica, the D.A. could charge her with felony cocaine possession, and bringing cocaine into a correctional facility -- also a felony. But we're told that the D.A. is inclined not to file those felony charges either.

That basically leaves misdemeanor DUI charges for both incidents. If Lohan is found guilty of both, she'd have to serve a minimum of four days in jail, and that beats prison, baby!

And we're told Lohan's mega-lawyer Blair Berk and prosecutors have been talking a lot and that spells a possible plea bargain.

Here's what's for sure: If Lohan is not charged with a felony, she is not required to attend Friday's arraignment. If that's the case, put money on it -- Lindsay will be a no show. (Source: tmz.com)

"Crazy" Britney Backs Out of Big Duet with JT

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:35:00 +0000

Britney Spears is being called "sick" and "crazy" by music biz insiders after ditching the chance to do a duet single with former flame Justin Timberlake.

Page Six reports that JT wrote the song specifically for Brit, and that her label was counting on the tune to jump start a big comeback for the Britwreck. But last month, just before she was supposed to fly out to record the song, Brit "abruptly canceled the session." A music "insider" tells the Post, "Everyone is worried ... People like her are sick. It's like an anorexic who's sick in the head and needs help."

Jive is reportedly still behind Britney, but execs there are "worried" about her bombing at the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards. JT's reps had no comment. (source: tmz.com)

I’ve matured: Paris Hilton

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:33:00 +0000

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton launched a post-jail media make-over, vowing to shed her party-girl image and prove she is a changed person after serving three weeks behind bars for violating probation in a drunken-driving case.

“I’m a good person. I’m a compassionate person. I have a big heart. I’m sincere, and they’ll see,” Hilton told People magazine in excerpts published on Wednesday from her first interview since getting out of jail Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Appearing later on CNN’s Larry King Live show, the 26-year-old multimillionaire said she felt bad that many of her former fellow inmates would end up back on the streets, and back in trouble, because they lack family or support systems.

“I want to help set up a place where these women can get themselves back on their feet … kind of a transitional home,” she said. “I know I can make a difference.”

Hilton acknowledged she has long enjoyed the Hollywood party scene but added, “it’s not going to be the mainstay of my life anymore.”

“I’ve definitely matured and grown a lot from this experience,” she told King. “I could be a more responsible role model.”

She spoke in both interviews about why she was briefly released to home detention after just three days in jail — a move swiftly overruled by a judge after a public outcry over whether she was given special treatment.

“I was basically in the fetal position, basically in hysterics … and having severe anxiety and panic attacks,” Hilton said in the People interview.

She told King she has suffered from claustrophobia since childhood, and in jail was forced to just “deal with it.”

“I read letters, I wrote in my journal, and I would just close my eyes and pretend I was somewhere else.” (source: modelsblog.info)

MEL Gibson and Paris Hilton have inspired California lawmakers to propose legislation to protect celebrities caught breaking the law.

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:29:00 +0000

Amid concern over the frenzy of entertainment internet blogs and tabloids competing for inside information on Gibson’s tirade during a drunk-driving arrest and Hilton’s days in jail, state lawmakers have taken steps to clamp down on some forms of chequebook journalism.A bill currently going through the Legislature will - if passed - make it a crime for law enforcement or court employees to profit by releasing confidential information gathered in criminal investigations or unauthorised photographs of people in custody.

The proposed legislation - which was requested by controversial Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, whose staff dealt with Gibson and Hilton - has outraged the media in the golden state. Tom Newton, general counsel for the California Newspaper Publishers Association said the measure would whittle away press freedoms for the convenience of celebrities.

“It’s the Paris Hilton and Mel Gibson Protection Act,” he told The Los Angeles Times.

“Fundamentally, it attempts to regulate news gathering and criminalise it.”But proponents said outlawing celebrity leaks and punishing public employees who take cash from the media was a necessary move to restore faith in the state’s justice system following allegations of law enforcement officials providing prohibited information for cash

Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, who introduced the bill at Sheriff Baca’s request, said the digital media age and obsession with celebrity news made the law a necessity. “I felt it was important to help law enforcement to maintain the integrity of the criminal justice system,” she said.

“So-called traditional media (have) obtained information and pictures through official channels and via the Public Records Act.

“The new Internet media and others have recently been attempting to circumvent the system by offering law enforcement officials money for information and pictures of celebrities.”

Ms Brownley said the bill would not quash acts protected by state whistle-blower laws, including the release of information involving allegations of improper activity by government agencies or officials. Sheriff Baca’s office is investigating the leak of Gibson’s police report to LA celebrity news agency blog TMZ after the star’s arrest in July last year - which subsequently made headlines around the world.

“When we arrested Mel Gibson we lost control of the information and it ended up on a blog,” Baca said.

“The question is whether that was done for profit or gratuitously.”

The investigation has not found evidence that police documents and information in Gibson case was released to TMZ for financial gain.

TMZ published parts of a deputy’s account of the actor-director spouting anti-Semitic remarks as he was being arrested for drink driving in Malibu.

The bill would make it a misdemeanor for those entrusted with such material to receive financial gain in exchange for confidential information obtained in a criminal investigation or to solicit or offer financial compensation for such information.

The ban would include “any unauthorised photograph or video taken inside any secure area of a law enforcement or court facility”.

Sheriff Lee Baca said the law was a necessity in an age when a photo of a jailed Paris Hilton could have reportedly fetched up to $US500,000 ($A620,00).

“It was like putting a bounty on her,” Baca said.

No photographs have been published of Hilton in her cell during her 23-day sentence at LA’s Century Regional Detention Facility Hilton for violating the terms of her probation on alcohol-related charges of reckless driving.

Sheriff Baca said he was concerned about confidential information being sold even if it was not about celebrities.

“We in law enforcement have a tremendous amount of information (and providing it to anyone) for profit is wrong,” he said.

Recently allegations of California law enforcement officials releasing confidential information have made headlines in the US.

Hollywood private investigator Anthony Pellicano, who was recently charged for illegal wiretapping, alleged that he paid members of law enforcement agencies for confidential information while doing background checks in cases involving celebrities, including comedians Garry Shandling and Kevin Nealon.

In another incident, an Los Angeles Police Department investigation determined last month that one of the agency’s officers used a mobile phone to shoot video of the rapper known as The Game as he was held in a jail cell after being arrested.

The video, provided to TMZ, showed the entertainer bragging and waving a wad of money.

TMZ posted the video May 12, the day after police arrested the rapper at his Glendale home on suspicion of making criminal threats.

Investigators said the unidentified officer insisted that he provided the video to TMZ for fun and they had not found any evidence that the officer was compensated. (source: modelsblog.info)

Next Top Model to Be Next Mom?

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:50:00 +0000

Adrianne Curry is shaking in her high heeled hooker boots over a pregnancy scare. Did she miss her special “monthly visitor”? Actually, no. But she did hear from a “psychic medium” that she is at high risk of finding a bun in her oven and needs to be “super careful.”
According to Curry’s latest MySpace rant, her medium has asked her numerous times if she’s pregnant, freaking the outspoken reality star out! She’s even gone so far as to take two pregnancy tests in the last three weeks. Here’s a tip — stop having sex!
So far, no Baby Brady in sight. One might think that the medium would have seen this article coming. Spooky! (Souce: modelsblog.info)

Kate Moss Line Made by “Slave Labor,” Says Sunday Times

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:49:00 +0000

Britain’s leading weekend newspaper, The Sunday Times, has accused UK retailer Topshop of using “slave labor” to produce its range of clothes designed by supermodel Kate Moss.
The Rupert Murdoch-owned Sunday Times reported in its latest edition that factories supplying the retail empire of Sir Philip Green, the owner of Topshop, were grossly exploiting immigrant factory workers in Mauritius and paying them a mere $8 for a 12-hour day.
Workers from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India were reportedly recruited for fees of around $725 by agents, flown to Mauritius and then locked in compounds were they were forced to work 70-hour weeks, for far less than the wages they were originally promised.
Green, one of the UK’s richest men’s who ranks seventh on the Sunday Times’ own Rich List, told the paper he was monitoring conditions in the factories where his sub contractors produce clothes for his wide ranging fashion empire. Green’s Arcadia holding company also owns Topman, Burton, Miss Selfridge and Burton, and last year launched a collection “designed” by supermodel Moss.
Though his fortune is estimated at ?4 billion (or $8 billion) Green’s firm Arcadia has not signed onto an ethical charter on fair trading, whose signatories include Next and Marks & Spencer. Firms such as Nike and The Gap, which had been widely criticized for using supplier factories with poor working conditions, have since set up independent vetting procedures and published regular reports of their findings.
Workers in a plant owned by Compagine Mauricienne de Textile (CMT) in Mauritius, which produces Moss’ collection, have gone on strike to protest their conditions. In response many have reportedly been deported back to their own countries after apparently being threatened members of the armed forces.
According to the UK weekly, as many as 50 workers are crammed into 20ft-30ft dormitories and paid as little as $25 per week for 70-hour weeks.
Their sorry plight contrasted starkly with the lifestyle of Green, who spent last week on his 165-foot yacht Lionheart on a cruise in Turkey.
“I sent inspectors to factories to look at the working conditions, to see that they are not working in sweatshops, that the working conditions are good. I can’t stand there and count how many people are working,” Green told (Source: modelsblog.info)

10 reasons why Paris Hilton is a business genius

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:48:00 +0000

She’s been to prison like Martha Stewart. She’s launched her own clothing lines, for both people and dogs. She’s even been mentioned by Robert Redford as a harbinger of doom for his Sundance Film Festival. (Redford said the event has become “a big fat market where you have people like Paris Hilton going to parties.”) But it turns out the true Paris Hilton is actually a business wizard of unparallelled brilliance.
1. When she met the CEO of the Guess fashion line, she wooed him by recounting an encyclopaedic knowledge of company’s history. He signed her up on the spot. (cf: Simon Ambrose in the penultimate week of The Apprentice.)
2. Parlux Fragrances have described her as “a marketers’ dream” and estimated that by signing up her to endorse a perfume range they tripled the company’s value.
3. She got paid $1million to fly to Austria, wave at a crowd and tell them she loves Austria. “But why do you love Austria?” she was asked. “Because they pay me $1million to wave at a crowd,” she smiled. You can’t argue with that.
4. She’s lucky. When footage of her having sex leaked onto the internet, propelling her into the headlines, the silver lining was it’s timing: shortly before the debut episode of her reality television show The Simple Life.
5. She’s lucky more than once. In the week she published a book ‘written’ by her famous dog Tinkerbell, the chihuahua went missing for a few days, putting the book into the media spotlight.
6. She knows which opportunities to decline: “I turn down perverted things, like a Paris Hilton blow-up doll.” One must have one’s standards.
7. She’s lauded by other businesspeople. A successful real estate magnate - OK, her father Rick – says of her successes: “She hasn’t tried to spread herself too thin.”
8. How many other ‘dumb blondes’ have seen their book spend five weeks on the New York Times best-seller list?
9. She was reportedly recently offered $1 million by The Learning Annex to teach a 60-minute class on “How to Build Your Brand.” This would make her the second-highest paid Annex speaker, behind her friend Donald Trump.
10. She admits that she encourages people to believe she is dumb and “laughs all the way to the bank” as a result. (Source: modelsblog.info)

Paris Hilton & Nicky Hilton asking $500,000 for New Year party appearances

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:46:00 +0000

Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton are reportedly offering their hosting services for New Year’s Eve celebrations in Las Vegas - but with a $500,000 price tag.Paris is said to have asked for just $100,000 for the night’s appearance last year but with her sister, and after her jail-time, her price has gone up.
A Las Vegas source told the New York Post: “Paris and Nicky are shopping their partying ways to Vegas at the price of around $500,000 - only they have the guts to ask for that amount - for a multiple-day New Year’s Eve bash.”
“Paris will ‘party’ at a few spots and Nicky will bless the lucky host with a fashion show of her wares and model herself.”
But the source added that it’s unlikely that anyone will take them up on the deal because the tide is turning against the heiresses: “[the Hiltons] are so desperate now, they should be paying the clubs for good PR, not the other way around.” (Source: modelsblog.info)

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has slammed Vogue magazine for their use of ‘fair skinned’ models

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:45:00 +0000

The London-born supermodel claims that the magazine fails to recognise ‘black beauty.’
“Black models are being sidelined by the major modelling agencies,” Campbell said in an interview reported in The Times
“It is a pity that people don’t appreciate black beauty.”
The 37-year-old – who hasn’t graced the cover of Vogue magazine in over five years –believes the publication is reluctant to use black models.
“Even myself, I get a raw deal from my own country in England,” she claimed during an interview at Briatore’s hotel.
“Only white models, some of whom are not as prominent as I am, are put on splash pages.
“I don’t want to quit modelling until I find that black models get equal prominence and recognition by the world media and information instruments.” (Source: modelsblog.info)

The Fantastic Jessica Alba

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 14:25:00 +0000

Though Jessica Alba’s rockin’ bod has played a prominent role in many of her past acting gigs (just think of the sultry striptease she performed in Sin City and the skin-tight bodysuit she sported in the Fantastic Four series), the 26-year-old actress is hell-bent on expanding beyond sex-symbol typecasting. “I’ve been told, ‘Wearing bikinis is what you’re known for.’ It would be nice if people didn’t know me for that, and they knew me as an actor,” says Jessica, between bites of hummus and a green salad at a low-key lunch spot in Beverly Hills, California, where her Cosmo interview is taking place. “I think the biggest thing is not to get stuck in a pattern and to be always changing and growing.” If her diverse lineup of upcoming movie roles is any indication, she’s well on her way to being taken seriously...well, sort of. In this month’s flick Good Luck Chuck, Jessica tackles full-on physical comedy for the first time as a klutzy penguin specialist being pursued by Dane Cook (a comic-turned-actor in real life). “I play the biggest dork ever,” Jessica says. “I’ve wanted to do comedy my whole career, and Dane really encouraged me just to make an ass of myself.” As it turns out, Jessica is surprisingly far more goofy than glamorous in real life too. “My character is pretty similar to who I really am. I’ve fractured three bones and broken four ribs. All of it has just been dumb mistakes.” But Jessica hasn’t totally abandoned her sexy side (as if she could!)... (Source: Cosmopolitan.com)

Kate Might Have To Start Selling Marxist Rag

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 10:29:00 +0000

Kate Beckinsale has just about had it with Hollywood superficiality – and she might end up back on a street corner selling left-wing literature to prove her displeasure. She tells London's Sunday Express magazine, "There is a point where if you have one more person saying, 'Wow I love your belt,' you start to go, 'I'm going to have to start selling 'Living Marxism' on the corner again.'"Beckinsale, who studied French and Russian literature at Oxford, also says that she wants to write a novel – but not using her own name. "I wouldn't want to be a celebrity author," sniffs Kate. "That sounds highly vulgar to me. I wouldn't want anyone buying it because I've been in a couple of silly movies."

Peet Gets Married, Passes Around Her Ring

noreply@blogger.com (Marco) — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 10:26:00 +0000

"Studio 60" star Amanda Peet got married yesterday to screenwriter David Benioff in New York, and evidently she loved her and her new husband's rings so much she wanted all her guests to see them. "They passed the rings around so every single person could touch them," says a friend of Peet's to Us Weekly, "which was unusual, but nice."The pair got hitched at Friends Seminary, the Manhattan prep school that Peet attended, and the black-tie soiree following took place at the Chelsea Art Museum. The pair's pal Mark Ruffalo tells Us, "They were both glowing."
