Hilary Duff likes Marc Jacobs

Hilary Duff makes more money than I do - perhaps that is one reason the the Hollywood It-Girl is out and about with her $1200 Hudson purse by Marc Jacobs. Marc Jacobs makes cool fashion, but he sells that cool fashion at a hot price. The Hudson retails for over a thousand bucks. Ouch.

In other Hillary Duff news, word is out that her manager refuses to let her buy a new car. Duff wants a Porsche, but..."The car I want is a Porsche Cayenne Turbo. But my business manager doesn't want me to buy it - he says that I'm a terrible driver and don't need that kind of car,” Hillary Duff said. Poor Hillary!

Celebrities love Tommy Hilfiger

Tommy Hilfinger and his fashion collection have been around for a long long time. Hilfinger is known for his use of color in each fashion collection, but he isn't usually known for his celebrity star power.

However, at his most recent show, a bunch of celebs came out to support Hilfinger. Molly Sims was there, as was Victoria Silvstedt and Damon Dash. Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child even gave a shout out to Mr. Hilfinger.

Maybe we'll start to see more of Hilfinger on the red carpets in 2008!

Owen Wilson, suicide attempt confirmed

Owen Wilson has been hospitalized this week and is recovering from serious injuries. The press has been speculating that those injuries stem from an attempted suicide. Records of the 911 emergency call now reveal that Santa Monica police were in fact responding to an "attempted suicide" when they were called to Owen Wilson's house on Sunday night.

Owen is a funny actor and seems like a nice guy. I hope he recovers, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally.

Everyone is looking for j.t. torregiani

j.t. torregiani this and j.t. torregiani that.

I just took a look at my blog's traffic logs, and it appears that all y'all are looking for more info on j.t. torregiani.

Here is what Paula Abdul said about her new man last month:
"He is a good guy. Things are looking upwards. It's looking good right now. I wasn't even looking for someone and that's what usually happens."

Last month, Paula celebrated her 45th birthday at J.T.Torregiani's West Hollywood restaurant Ketchup.

Aside from that, there ain't a lot more to say. He's some dude who owns restaurants in Hollywood and he's dating the American Idol judge Paula Abdul. ..

Jonny Quest movie?

I just read another blog post about a possible Jonny Quest movie. How cool is that, and how very old school.

Was Jonny Quest a 60's phenomenon or a 70's phenomenon? Either way, it's been a long long time.

Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter are named as producers. Could be cool.

Michelle Pfeiffer is making a comeback

Michelle Pfeiffer may be approaching 50 years old, but she's got got energy to promote her career. She seems to be making a comeback after several years away from Hollywood distribution.

What's a bit funny is that she is physically leaving Hollywood just as she mounts her comeback. Michelle Pfeiffer left Orange County and is moving to Northern California.

But Michelle Pfeiffer has a new movie scheduled for release soon and she seems to be back in the press with a new PR outreach effort. He kids are older now, so perhaps she's ready to dedicate more time to her acting career. Who knows...


But I look forward to seeing her in more films.

Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag

These two are just mean girls. When asked by People Magazine if there is anything Conrad, 21, could do to patch up their onetime friendship, Montag, 20, bluntly replied: "No, I don't think so."


I guess we shouldn't expect a reunion tour...

Lindsay Lohan is boring me....

Enough already, no more stories about Lindsay Lohan. She's a freak, and despite what TMZ reports it ain't all her parent's fault. She's a big enough girl not to get drugged up and arrested every few weeks. Once a month, maybe. Once a week, come on....

At least Lohan isn't randomly smashing into parked cars like Britney Spears. Kim Robard-Rifkin has been crying a river about some scratches. Brit should just file an insurance claim and move on with it...

Jerry O'Connell is a lucky man, marries Rebecca Romijn

Rebecca Romijn just got married for a second time, this time to Jerry O'Connell.

"It was the perfect celebration and Jerry and I couldn't be happier."

Lindsay Lohan and her rehab jewelry

Lindsay Lohan has checked out of a Malibu rehab center after more than a month and a half and will now wear an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet. Yikes, nothing like wearing a big brother tag. No boozing for Lindsay this summer.

"In part she is wearing the bracelet so there are no questions about her sobriety if she chooses to go dancing or dining in a place where alcohol is served."

Yeah, right. So when can we see a live graph of her sobriety bracelet on Google maps?

Jodie Sweetin

TMZ reported on Former "Full House" child star Jodie Sweetin. Sweetin is now 25 years old, and TMZ had nothing much to say about her other than that they liked her breasts...

JT Torregiani and Paula Abdul

JT is a restraunt owner in Hollywood and he's now dating Paula Abdul. JT co-owns Ketchup, a trendy restaurant, with actress Tara Reid.

Elisha Cuthbert on wasting time

"I hate going to get my nails done. I sit in the chair and feel like I'm wasting time."
> Elisha Cuthbert

Beyonce doesn't like makeup

"I actually don't like wearing makeup, I'd rather by natural"
> Beyonce Knowles

Victoria Hart

Victoria Hart is the lucky 18 year old waitress that got picked by George Clooney to act in Ocean's Thirteen. The June 18 edition of Us Magazine has a picture and describes the story. She was waitressing when George Clooney and Brad Pitt picked her for the part.

Now Victoria is trying to jump start her own career. She has a CD coming out and is trying to make it as a singer.

Spice Girls, get your tickets

Scary Spice and Sporty Spice and all our friendly Spice Girls are gearing back up for a reunion concert series. The British tabloids are all abuzz with word from the Spice Girls that the long awaited reunion tour is scheduled.

Britney Spears and her "Diva Tantrum"

I guess this is how Internet "memes" get started.  one writer comes up with a fun headline, others kind of like it, or they're just too lazy to come up with their own.  And suddenly, there are 4 headlines in my feed reader that all talk about Britney Spears and some tantrum and her being a "diva"

Well, word is that Brit had another melt down and threw a tantrum during a photo shoot for her perfume line.  Here is one of the original quotes that I found:

“She got very upset and stormed out of the shoot and wouldn’t come back. Britney is not listening to
anyone and doing exactly what she wants. Sometimes she doesn’t know best.”

As always, I feel bad for Britney.  The media plagues her and paparazzi would drive me bonkers too.

Wes Craven Sues Pauly Shore

Wes Craven sued his neighbor Pauly Shore, alleging that water from the comedian's home seeped down a slope and damaged the director's property.

I guess that's not so funny. But Paulie Shore is...

Bye Bye Victoria Beckham

No surprise, but NBC has officially canceled plans for Victoria Beckham's TV show concept. Someone at NBC woke up to the fact that Victoria is sort of crazy. Good call NBC...

OMG is Like Lindsay Lohan Like Okay Like

Britney Spears has either completely lost it, or she's actually got a sense of humor. Go check out BritneySpears.com

Ribbing Lindsay Lohan is usually passe, but not when Britney (a fellow rehabber) does it.

Kelly Clarkson cancels her Arena tour

Yup, Clarkson is having some trouble lately. She fired her manager, now she seems to be having trouble selling enough tickets to fill up the summer tour. She canceled the arena tour and there's no word yet on whether she'll be performing live at all this summer.

Bummer

Remember Punky Brewster?

Here is some celebrity news and gossip for you. Remember Punky Brewster, the little girl in pigtails. Well, Punky's real name is Soleil Moon Frye and she's 30 years old now. Soleil had a baby in 2005 - yeah, Punky Brewster is a mom now!

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are having a baby

Battlestar Galactica will end after season 4

Executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick have decided to end the TV series Battlestar Galactica after season 4.

Edward James Olmos and Katee Sackhoff referred to season 4 as the show's "swan song" during the annual Saturn Awards.

“It’s the final season, so it’s definitely going to be the most vicious,” Ed James Olmos told reporters. “As far as we know, in respects of the way we have this show constructed, this is the final season.”

Year One sounds promising

Year One has a star studded cast already. Jack Black, Michael Cera, and director Harold Ramis are all planning to work on the new comedy from producer Apatow.

Tennman and Justin Timberlake

In partnership with Interscope Records, Justin Timberlake is launching a new record label called Tennman.

Justin is currently signed with Jive/Sony BMG, but his new record label will be with Universal Music Group. That can't make the folks at Jive very happy.

“We are all excited about the talent we have to offer already on our roster, and I cannot wait to introduce the world to my new discoveries,” Timberlake told press.

Simon Monjack is a sketch-ball

Simon Monjack is a sketchy guy. There are 2 warrants for his arrest in Virginia for alleged credit-card theft and fraud. He has unpaid legal bills adding up to $6,087 . There's a $502,000 judgment against him by a British investment firm. He also gave his former fiancée, British film producer Taira Rafiq, a fake cubic zirconia engagement ring.

Now he's feeling like a pretty lucky guy. He just got hitched to Bittany Murphy.

Watch out Bittany.

Shiloh Pitt-Jolie

Happy first birthday Shiloh Pitt-Jolie!

Lindsay Lohan and her OxyContin

OxyContin is a hard drug to quit, and Lindsay Lohan seems to be back at it.

According to her father, Lindsay has multiple addictions to alcohol and the painkiller OxyContin.

E! Online reported the news on Wednesday, quoting her dad Michael Lohan, who said, "I spoke to the people treating Lindsay, because I wanted to make sure she was getting the right care ... And I'm satisfied they are doing the right thing for her, helping her detox from the painkillers and things. That's a very important step."

Lindsay is back in rehab, again.

Natalie Portman as a ghost

Natalie Portman is in the new Paul McCartney video on YouTube. It's interesting. Nothing too amazing, but an OK tune by McCartney and everyone likes Natalie...

Here is the YouTube video

Donna Hogan wants to be just like Anna Nicole

Donna Hogan is a strange strange person. She's the half-sister of Anna Nicole Smith, and now in the wake of all of the press surrounding her sister's death, Hogan is getting boob jobs and trying to leverage the publicity to sign magazine deals. Yikes.

She wrote in a book that Howard K Stern is a "creepy little weasel-looking thing" and says that she plans to make him "sexually frustrated.” Strange.

She's also trying to get into Playboy magazine with her new boobs, which is just strange again. Why do all of this just after your half sister dies?

Let's hope that Donna Hogan goes away for a while.

Heidi Montag got engaged to Spencer Pratt

Lauren Conrad won't be happy about this one. Heidi and Spencer got engaged, despite Lauren's misgivings about Spencer.

Heidi looks happy in the picture.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck vs. Rosie O'Donnell

Looks like Rosie has a new foe in Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Rosie doesn't get along with anyone. She's waged a huge battle with The Donald. She seems to alienate her peers on TV. She's caustic.

Christina Ricci gets into a nude state of mind

“I didn’t cover up between shots because I had to get used to being like that and get into the way (my character) was thinking,” Ricci told the London Mirror about her latest nude scenes. “It didn’t matter to her whether she had clothes on or not, so I needed to lose any self-conscious affectations.”

JK Rowling begs the blogosphere

JK Rowling wants us to stay hush about the next and last Harry Potter.

"We're a little under three months away, now, and the first distant rumblings of the weirdness that usually precedes a Harry Potter publication can be heard on the horizon," JK Rowling wrote on her website.

"I want the readers who have, in many instances, grown up with Harry, to embark on the last adventure they will share with him without knowing where they are they going."

Spoiler: Harry Harry learns that it has all been a dream, he's not really a wizard afterall. Instead, he's just on shrooms. But please keep this surprise ending a secret.

Nicolas Cage As Al Capone

Here is a bad idea... Nicolas Cage cast as Al Capone is a remake of The Untouchables. How many mistakes can we make at once. First of all, The Untouchables is an awesome movie already. Why remake an awesome movie! They tried this with Planet of the Apes and it was a total failure for Marky Mark. Now they're going to remake a great movie and unless it is absolutely incredible most of us will think it is a failed effort.

Second mistake... Nicolas Cage as Al Capone, are you kidding! He just doesn't strike me as a Al Capone.

Marcia Diana Valentine is stalking Sandra Bullock

Marcia Diana Valentine, Marcia Diana Valentine...quit it. Stop stalking Sandra Bullock. That's just not nice. And now Sandra Bullock has gotten a legal restraining order against fan-gone-psycho Marcia Valentine.

Stalking isn't cool

Paris Hilton and Patty Hearst

Poor poor Paris is heading to the lockup, and Patty Hearst doesn't have much sympathy.

I guess Patty (who also served some jail time, if you remember) wrote a letter to TMZ and said;

“I can assure you that I have not had any contact with Paris (or any member of her family) regarding her upcoming jail time, or any other matter. Like Governor Schwarzenegger, I have had many more important things to think about”

Sopranos Star Drea de Matteo is Pregnant

Drea de Matteo of the Sopranos is expecting. Get ready for yet more Hollywood celebrity baby posts.

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush

Sounds like socialite and sex scandal artist Kim Kardashian has a new boyfriend, football star Reggie Bush.

Girl for Donald Trump Jr. and Wife Vanessa

What's with all the babies? Donald Trump Jr and his wife Vanessa have a girl.

Sheryl Crow Adopts a Son

Here's another Hollywood parenting story. Sheryl Crow adopted a baby boy this week. She posted a blog entry about it on her official website, but didn't post any photos. Come on Sheryl, we need pics!

Jaime Pressly Has Baby Boy

One more famous un-married hollywood mother this week. Jaime Pressly has a new baby boy.

Congrats to Jaime

Keira Knightley claims to be naturally thin

Keira Knightley is suing a tabloid over allegations that she is promoting a culture of anorexia. Keira Knightley is a very thin actress, who appeared to lose weight during the filming of the last Pirates of the Carribean.

Here is what she had to say about the anorexia rumors:

"It appeared as if I were promoting something when I absolutely was not. I am thin because that's what I am, and I was thinner at that point because of the work I do. Nothing else," she said.


"I do a lot of action films but none of them are more physically grueling than Pirates, where we are filming in searing temperatures and shooting fight scenes in which you are wearing a wetsuit underneath a load of corsets. You are fighting with heavy weights in the water. Can you imagine a more advanced cardio workout than that done hour after hour?"


She has also stated, "Basically, my body type is naturally thin. There is nothing I can do about it."

Phil Spector, is he guilty or is he guilty

this whole Phil Spector trial just seems like a Hollywood farce. Phil Spector has changed defense teams multiple times, his limo driver is testifying against him, now former defense team members are suggesting that evidence has been tampered with, and the guy has terrible hair. Worse than Donald trump if you can believe it.

He's guilty, for sure.

Goodbye Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson

Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson got kicked off of American Idol. No love lost, I wasn't a big fan of either.

See ya suckers.

Now Blake Lewis is the only guy left, with difficult competition from the ladies.
