A picture Paris Hilton posted on Twitter about a month and a half ago may come back to haunt her. Paris was arrested in Las Vegas and claims the black Chanel purse she was carrying (which contained cocaine) did not belong to her but to her girlfriend.

The curvaceous Mad Men star, voted Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire, told the UK’s Daily Record that not one “designer in town will loan me a dress.” The Emmy nominee said “they only lend out a size 0 or 2. So I’m still struggling for someone to give me a darn dress.”

Avatar director James Cameron told Vanity Fair the new Piranha film helps give 3-D movies a bad name. Mark Canton tweeted: “It is amazing that in the movie-making process – which is certainly a team sport – that Cameron consistently celebrates himself out as though he is a team of one. His comments are ridiculous, self serving and insulting to those of us who are not caught up in serving his ego and his rhetoric.”

Mark Canton does not stop there.  I guess not everyone thinks James Cameron is “King of the World”.

There have been songs about September 11, 2001, and there have been movies, and now 8 years and 51 weeks after that date, New York will decide if it is ready for September 11: The Rock Musical.

Clear Blue Tuesday is not about the attack itself, which occurs off camera in the opening scene and is conveyed with blowing dust and office paper. It is more interested in tracking the changes in the lives of 11 characters as the anniversaries flit past: 2002, 2003, 2004, and so on. The attractive and eccentric cast of New Yorkers fall in love and split up, lose jobs, get jobs, shack up — and sing, roughly one song per character.

This is so tricky.  Let’s hope they do it right.

I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress. …And I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible but that’s what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes”.

If I were thealcoholic everyone says I am, then putting a [SCRAM] bracelet on would have ended me up in detox, in the emergency room, because I would have had to come down from all the things that people say I’m taking and my father says I’m taking—so that says something, because I was fine,” Lindsay Lohan tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Nancy Jo Sales.

“I think everyone has their own addictions and hopefully learns how to get past them,” she says, in an interview conducted one week before her jail time began. “I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life.”

She is not only beautiful but talented. She won a 2010 Primetime Emmy Award for Best Lead Actress  in a TV Mini-Series or Movie for her portrayal of Temple Grandin in the tv film of the same name.  She attended the Emmys  with her husband Hugh Dancy. 

The HBO film Temple Grandin was a biopic about an animal scientist who is also autistic. Temple Grandin herself was a scene  stealer at the Emmy ceremony, standing at her seat in the auditorium and waving to the audience anytime she was thanked in a speech, and appearing onstage next to the producer who accepted the Emmy on behalf on the film.

Temple Grandin is a ”renowned public advocate for those born on the autistic spectrum. Her high functioning autism ultimately allowed her to earn a doctorate in animal science, become a university professor, and pen an autobiography about her experiences. She has made notable contributions to the ethical treatment of livestock. Grandin, who believes that her autism helps gives her insight into the feelings of farm creatures, famously designed more humane corrals for cows headed for slaughter.”

The My So-Called Life actress well deserved this Emmy Award.  She was extraordinary as is the real life Temple Grandin.

From long dresses recalling Old Hollywood glam to short party frocks, there was a wide spectrum of styles and shade.  Rita Wilson could be the worst dressed of the night, looking like an Austin Powers girl in unflattering Prada frock which had dangling shells and crystals, with matching Lucite heels.

Didn’t her multi millionaire husband Tom Hanks have the guts to tell her that she looks awful.  How did he let her leave the house looking like that. She’s naturally so pretty with a good body but this outfit hid everything.  Rita had bad hair day with an unflattering dress and ugly shoes.  And this atrocious outfit, I’m sure,  cost a small fortune.

Elin said she lost weight and clumps of hair due to the stress of her high profile divorce from Tiger Woods. She is now reportedly training for a triathlon and hopes to open a mental health clinic with the millions she received in the settlement.

Elin Nordegren is estimated to have received between $100 to $500 million in her divorce, which was finalized August 23, 2010. Elin, 30, who will receive a degree in psychology from Rollins College in Florida by December 2010, is planning to become a mental health therapist and counselor, sources told London’s Sunday Times.

An anonymous source said: “Elin has a lot of ideas, including setting up her own clinic to help poorer children suffering from mental illnesses such as depression, eating disorders and hypertension, which can result from living in a broken family.”

Real Housewives of New York City were asked back for Season 4 but won’t commit to Bravo unless they get “Jersey Shore” style contracts.  ”The ladies are upset because they are making a lot less than Snooki (who earns $30,000 per episode on MTV).  They’ve got a lot more to say,” a source says.

The third season of Real Housewives averaged 1.38 million adults 18-49 and 2.02 million total viewers, the highest rated season so far for the New York City franchise.  The Real Housewives of New York City are Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Bethenny Frankel, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Alex McCord, Ramona Singer and Jill Zarin. The third season also featured the recurring women Sonja Morgan and Jennifer Gilbert.

The actress, 29, was in a car in Las Vegas driven by a friend that was stopped when officers noticed what they suspected to be marijuana smoke coming from it. During the stop, officers found what appeared to be a drug on Hilton and later tests showed that it was cocaine.

Hilton pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. She spent only 23 days in jail and then said that “the experience caused her to re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted “to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis.”

Paris Hilton was arrested earlier this summer after the Brazil-Netherlands World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa for suspected possession of marijuana, but the charges were dropped after a friend confessed the pot was hers. The case was then dropped at a midnight court hearing.  A couple weeks later, Hilton was briefly detained in France for having less than a gram of pot in her purse.

The Huffington Post reported that John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston were possibly rekindling their old relationship. In a frenzied and incoherent blog post titled “Huffington Post FULL OF SH*T? (Yes!),” Mayer called the liberal leaning news website “the internet Death Star” and “dangerous.”

The reason I’m calling you out instead of all the other magazines that make stories up out of thin air is that In Touch and Star Magazine aren’t concurrently writing pieces about Pat Tillman or WikiLeaks,” ranted Mayer. “Those other rags know who they are, and even if they’re obnoxious, I’d rather have to live with them because they (and the rest of the world) know where they stand, which doesn’t make them one tenth as dangerous as you are.”

Don’t understand why he is upset that he’s linked (once again) with one of the most famous and beautiful land talented ladies around.  What’s his problem?

Violante Placido, George Clooney’s costar in the thriller The American, said: “He confessed … that he didn’t do lots of sex scenes. I felt like this was in a way something new to him, he wasn’t that experienced.”

Violante says the relatively graphic love scene came together well once they agreed to trust each other.  “We had to find a way to make it natural and let your body speak somehow.  We were very open to one another to try and make it work.  We just said ‘let’s trust each other’ and we did.  I felt like we had to let ourselves go”.  When she saw the film she said, “Just watching it is a little like … wow.”

Well the film is about a professional killer on assignment not a lover.  Nevertheless, it makes us all want to see the film even more and and we especially want to see those sex scenes.  Somehow we think George knew what he was doing.

HIV positive German pop star Nadja Benaissa, 28, was accused of infecting a former partner with the virus. She admitted having unprotected sex and keeping her HIV status secret, but denied deliberately infecting anyone.

Nadja had sex with three people without telling them she was infected with HIV.  One of them, a talent agent, 34, who was a plaintiff in the case, was confirmed as having contracted the virus. She was found guilty on one count of causing grievous bodily harm and two of attempted bodily harm and was given a two year suspended prison sentence.

Yeah, I really believe she just forgot to tell three people that she tested positive for HIV.  Please.  She should have gotten the 10 year prison sentence.

I felt betrayed by many people around me.”

Like so many other wives, Elin’s husband cheated.  At least she has $100 million (or maybe more if rumors are true) to help her deal with the pain.  And she is gorgeous and well educated.  Some women are left with  kids to support and lots of pain to deal with.

To Gerard Depardieu, Juliette Binoche “has nothing”.   In a no holds barred interview, Gerard Depardieu expressed incredulity that Binoche had met with such acclaim.

Let’s face it. When it comes to enduring mysteries, it’s hard to come up with something more mystifying than how Jennifer Aniston became a movie star. After all, she’s made an almost unbroken string of forgettable movies that have rarely made a lot of money.

Aniston has managed to remain an A-list star, despite appearing in such hapless sludge as Along Came Polly, Management, Friends with Money, Derailed, Rumor Has It, Love Happens, The Break Up,  He’s Just Not That Into You and The Bounty Hunter.  The Switch, which just opened,  is considered a bomb after its opening weekend.  Aniston’s biggest hit was Marley & Me.  That’s 7 years, 11 movies, 8 clunkers, 1 above average (for her) performance and only 2 solid box office successes.

 Aniston is now 40 with no baby or husband and people can’t get enough of this stuff.  Bill Simmons has a theory that “she gravitates toward guys who could never be a potential husband (seriously, John Mayer?) and FWBs (friends with benefits) over actually finding herself the right match. And here’s why: The longer this drags on, the longer she stays on the A list. Staying single, ending up with the wrong guys, pining for a baby but never having one … career move, career move, career move. Keeps her on magazine covers. Keeps people saying “I feel bad for Aniston, Brangelina really screwed her over; her life’s never been the same.” Keeps a built-in publicity buzz for every crappy movie she promotes. Really, it’s genius.”

Director James Cameron has added nine minutes of footage to his blockbuster, some of which extends the love scene between hero Jake Sully’s avatar and Neytiri, his 9 foot tall blue lover. Beneath the sacred Tree of Souls, they mingle their anemone like braids in alien union.

The writer and director James Cameron said: “I would say, just so that we correctly manage people’s expectations, it does not change our rating at all. I would call it more of an alien foreplay scene. It’s not like they (Naytiri played by Zoe Saldana and Jake played by Sam Worthington) are ripping their clothes off and going at it. They come together into a kiss and sink down on the bed of moss, and ripples of light spread out around them.”

The book Damn You, Scarlett O’Hara: The Private Lives of Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier by co-authors Darwin Porter and Roy Moseley (the couple’s godson and long-standing friend and personal assistant) outs at least three of two time Oscar winner Vivien Leigh (she starred as Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind) lesbian lovers, and describes her insatiable appetite for “rough trade”

“Rough trade” is bad boys she’d pick up at Scotty’s, a notorious LA brothel that masqueraded as a gas station with one pump and 22 attendants. In the 1940s, the world’s most recognizable star would drive down to Scotty’s with her friend George Cukor, the initial director of Gone With The Wind and they would both pick out young men for the night. They would pay the men with gifts such as cigarette cases, jewels, or even stocks and bonds. She depended on the professional discretion of men not to boast they had just serviced Scarlett O’Hara.”

Vivien Leigh married stage and film star Laurence Olivier, who left his lesbian wife for her.  Needless to say, the marriage didn’t last.

The book rips  away the velvet curtain previously draped over the reputations of this famous team and beautiful looking couple exposing with searing insights the depths of their sexual excess and interpersonal anguish.

Its laws and gospels are nothing more than practical, simple solutions to the problems that currently plague humanity, and i will incorporate all these religious values into my campaign platform.”

Peter Berns, CEO of The Arc (a non-profit advocate for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities), said her using the word “retard” was “extraordinarily offensive and inappropriate.  Frankly, someone in her position ought to know better.”

You would think. Jennifer Aniston accused her ex husband Brad Pitt of lacking the sensitivity chip.  I guess she’s missing it also.

Comedy writer Andrew Gottlieb penned a male alternative to Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2006 memoir Eat Pray Love titled Drink Play F@#k.  Instead of traveling to Italy to eat, India to pray and Bali to fall in love, as Gilbert did in her book, his male hero takes off for Ireland to drink, Las Vegas to play and Thailand to f@#k.

This sounds like so much more fun!

For the National Costume Parade all 83 Miss Universe contestants paraded through the Mizuya Lounge at Mandalay Bay Hotel in a costume representative of her home country depicting the national symbol from their respective country.

Rima Fakih, Miss USA 2010, wears a costume inspired by the Seal of the President of the United States.  She said in an open letter to Barack Obama: “The amazing costume I will be wearing during the Miss Universe Pageant represents the celebration of life, love, liberty and all that is American. The eagle holds an olive branch and arrows which denote the powers of peace and war. The eagle faces right to show a preference to peace over war. They symbol of this costume is a tribute to your work to bring peace to the world. Fly high, Mr. President.”

Rima Fakih drew a basic design and then Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show designer Martin Izquierdo came up with the final creation.

Fashion critics have already brought their sharp knives out for some of the outfits, especially Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell. Down Under media branded it a “national joke and travesty” because of its high heeled Ugg boots, a sheepskin shrug, a racy, cut out one piece swimsuit that’s been hand painted by an Aboriginal artist and a multicolored flamenco style skirt.

Tom and I ”collaborate on everything at home. But I mean, he’s Tom Cruise! His body of work is incredible. Every movie he’s done has done really well. I look back, and everything’s a classic.

Just days before her appearance in a Los Angeles courtroom, the actress stepped before the Maxim cameras.

Lindsay said: “Stay true to yourself always.  At the end of the day, you have to look at yourself in the mirror and be content with the choices you’ve made, and will make, in your life.  Go with your gut!”

Maxim

While working as a freelance photographer, Linda notched up approximately 20 lovers – most of whom were household names. Her preference was for the rock stars she frequently persuaded to pose, including Mick Jagger, Tim Buckley and Jim Morrison and she wasn’t averse to a handsome Hollywood actor named Warren Beatty.

From 1966-68 Linda was tagged a groupie.  Or, as a former friend put it, “a groping groupie who was into photographing stars with little or no film in her camera”.  She may have enjoyed her fleeting romances but she was a single mother on the look out for something more permanent.  What she really wanted was a rich, groovy guy who could look after her and her small daughter, Heather, the legacy of a failed marriage. And her number one target, it turned out, was a Beatle.

Linda liked the look of the baby faced one.  Indeed, even before she’d met any of The Beatles, she told Nat Weiss, the American business partner of The Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein, that she was going to marry Paul McCartney.

Hey, she got him.

Sadie left her husband, Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp with whom she had a child, and bought a house with unknown actor Jude Law. Sadie was 25 and Jude 19 when she met Jude Law.  She says:  ”The force of the love I felt for Jude and his intense ambition made me feel out of control”.

Sadie says she was bedevilled by internal conflicts: a “battle between the good girl and the bad” during her chaotic childhood and, later, her experience of “paradise syndrome” – when she “had it all’ but felt compelled to “destroy whatever was good before someone took it from me”.

She was married and a mother when she met the unknown actor Judge Law and knew she was “jeopardising an idyllic home life”.

The writer and director said:  “I don’t know what’s going on with me and the critics in the United States.  They’ve never got me and it’s getting worse!  I’ve always had a European sensibility to my movies, so the pacing is always a little bit off for (Americans).”

“It feels a little stilted, they need more electricity. I’m very used to getting on a plane from the US having been savaged by them and going to – in this case – Japan next, and then they’re like ‘genius!’”

Hey, we Americans got The Sixth Sense.  Did the writer and director ever think maybe he didn’t write a good movie. I think not.  Its never the fault of the director or writer.  It’s always the critics or the public don’t “get it”.

In July 1991 he wandered into a Sarasota XXX movie theater (the triple feature bill included the straight porn films Catalina Five-O: Tiger Shark, Nurse Nancy and Turn Up the Heat ), where Reubens and other patrons were collared for indecent exposure, i.e., openly masturbating. He denies the charge to this day, but the tabloids pounced and he eventually pleaded no contest to avoid the spectacle of a trial.

Paul Reubens in Playboy said: “My Florida arrest in 1991 was so scandalous. I had never been seen out of character before. I wasn’t a social butterfly who was regularly out and about; there were no photos of Paul Reubens anywhere. Suddenly I went straight from being just Pee-wee Herman to that scary mug shot. And let’s face it, my mug shot was demonic and raggedy—Charles Manson-y, somebody called it.”

“Keep in mind I got arrested at the same time the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s story was breaking—and yet my story led the news for five days in a row. This man killed lots of people, drilled holes in their heads and poured acid into them. And he got the second spot on the news, after me.”

“I turned on the TV and saw people I mistakenly and naively thought were my friends making jokes about me. That was really painful. I knew Arsenio Hall, and his guests were Patti LaBelle and Luther Vandross, who were also my friends. I was just sitting there going, Oh, they’re making jokes about me. I turned the channel to Jay Leno, who was also saying some snarky things. I get that it’s their job, but I had already said the allegations weren’t true and felt I deserved the benefit of the doubt from them. Make a joke about me but also just say, “By the way, he’s been a friend of our show for many years.” I was shocked people would kick me when I was down.”

“Had we gone to trial, we had ready an expert from the Masters and Johnson Institute who was going to testify that in 30 years of research on masturbation the institute had never found one person who masturbated with his or her nondominant hand. I’m right-handed, and the police report said I was jerking off with my left hand. That would have been the end of the case right there, proof it couldn’t have been me.”

Fascinating interview.  Playboy still has great interviews (just not all the time).

Halle Berry talks about herself and her life.  What the biggest misconception about her?  “That I am this brooding, twisted, lovesick person who just can’t get it right in life. Every story about me is so heavy and dramatic. That’s not how I do life. But that’s the impression people have, and that’s what keeps getting reiterated. As if I’m still stuck in all the muck of the past. And I am so not.”
“I will tell you one thing that has helped me deal with the failure of Catwoman:  Critics bashed it, but people come up to me now and either they say, ‘I loved you in the movie B.A.P.S,’ which is a comedy that I did, or they say, ‘I don’t care what anybody says, I liked Catwoman.’ Nobody ever says, ‘I really loved Monster’s Ball.’ Nobody. No. Body. Nobody!”

Boy George doesn’t believe Lady Gaga’s recent claim that she’s an “occasional” cocaine user.  The former Culture Club star, who says he’s been clean for two years, wrote on his Papermag blog:  Could it be that her use of coke is not so ‘occasional? As a recovering addict who knows how dangerous ‘occasional’ use is, I can think of no reason for Gaga to reveal this to her young audience.”

“My mum had the best take on this: ‘She’s reached the stage where she feels untouchable, you all get there — you did, son’ . . . Isn’t saying you’re an ‘occasional’ drug taker a bit like saying you’re bisexual? That usually means you’re raving.”

Lady GaGa gave an interview to Vanity Fair saying: “I won’t lie; it’s occasional. And when I say occasional, I mean maybe a couple of times a year. I do not want my fans to ever emulate that or be that way. I don’t want my fans to think they have to be that way to be great. It’s in the past. It was a low point, and it led to disaster”.

“I’m too pretty to be in jail. I’m a good person. I’m not a criminal, and I will never go back there.  You can’t even contain me. When I was in there, I was like,  Can I come out? I can’t breathe!  Not a fun place. I will never go back.”

In an ongoing police investigation, Elisabetta has been named as one of the models who allegedly took cocaine in two well known Milan nightclubs, The Club and Hollywood, which have been closed down by police because of links to prostitution.  The prosecutor  claims models were paid to ply customers with drugs and entice them to spend money on drinks with the promise of sex.  French model turned call girl Karima Menad told police: “‘I remember taking cocaine with Elisabetta Canalis and two others. We were in The Club and it was December 2008.  We had been at a party of some famous, rich celebrity whose name I cannot remember.  I don’t remember who brought the drugs but we all took it.’”.

Mary Kate likens her and her sister to “little monkey performers” when referencing her childhood in front of the cameras:  ”I look at old photos of me, and I don’t feel connected to them at all.  I would never wish my upbringing on anyone… but I wouldn’t take it back for the world. Sometimes Ash and I have to bring each other back, or push each other more.  It’s really helpful to have another half, we’re constantly checking in with each other.”

How bad can the upbringing be if she says she wouldn’t take it back for the world.  Its left her and her sister rich and famous.  What is so bad?

Mark Wahlberg regrets writing his 1992 memoir, “Marky Mark,” and dedicating the book to his penis. “I thought it would be funny” he told Time’s Belinda Luscombe. When she asked if his penis was grateful, the actor said, “That is the one question I won’t answer.”

Hey, when you are young you do and say stupid things.  This is no exception.

Superstar Brad Pitt’s youngest children, two year old twins Knox and Vivienne, didn’t recognise him after he shaved off his beard and dyed his hair brown.

Brad kissed and hugged them when he left for the hairstylist, but when he came home three hours later with his hair cut, the grey dyed out and his face totally smooth, Knox and Vivienne ran away from him screaming.  They ran up to Angelina, saying,  ‘Where’s daddy?  Who’s that man?’

The rest of the world didn’t recognize Brad Pitt with a beard.  How ironic.

Jennifer Aniston is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar like you’ve never seen her before: as Barbra Streisand, America’s original funny girl. See Aniston’s most influential beauty moments and how her red carpet style has evolved.

Jennifer Aniston mused about singing Barbra Streisand songs in the shower. “Someone said to me, ‘If I had Barbra’s voice for just one day,’ and I said, ‘Nah, I don’t want to be greedy. If I had her voice for just one shower — just a shower’s worth — I would be happy.’” If so, perhaps it’s worth forgetting modesty and selling tickets. “Hmm, no,” she laughs. “Well, actually, if it was her voice …”

One thing about Barbra Streisand: she is never dull.  Posing as Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Aniston becomes interesting.  Otherwise, Jennifer Aniston is beautiful but oh so bland.

Parents Teleivsion couuncil sent letters to 300 advertisers urging marketers to not sponsor the show “unless they wish to associate their hard earned brands with excrement.”  William Shatner has been cast to play the dad.

$#*! My Dad Says” is based on the hit Twitter feed titled Shit My Dad Says. The star of the sitcom, William Shatner, told critics at TCA press tour that he would prefer CBS use original title. Shatner said: “Do you know what I wish? I wish they would call it Shit [My Dad Says] (critics clapping). I’ve got grandchildren. I brought up three girls. They’ve all got kids. Okay? And you say ‘Boopy doo-doo, you’ve got to make poo-poo. Come on. Make poo-poo in the toilet.’ Eventually, ‘poo-poo’ becomes ’shit.’ ‘Go take a shit, and you’ll feel better.’ You say that to your kids. The word ’shit’ is around us. It isn’t a terrible term. It’s a natural function. Why are we pussyfooting?”

The Twitter account of writer Justin Halpern garnered over a million followers reciting colorful comments by Halpern’s father. The project was picked up for sitcom development by CBS with Will & Grace creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick attached.

This is why everyone loves William Shatner.  He tells it like it is. I wonder if  the Parents Television Council have read the book.  The book is hilarious and so honest.

In the Vanity Fair interview for the magazine’s September issue which is due on newsstands Wednesday.  She says that she doesn’t trust anybody and doesn’t know if she ever will.

“I’m perpetually lonely. I’m lonely when I’m in relationships. It’s my condition as an artist.”  Regarding men, she says,  “I’m drawn to bad romances.  And my song (Bad Romance) is about whether I go after those [sort of relationships] or if they find me.  I’m quite celibate now;  I don’t really get time to meet anyone.”

Unlike so many stars of Hollywood’s studio age, when actors and actresses were made over in whatever image bosses decided would be most valuable to the company’s bottom line – Novak was always herself, singular, unique. Kim Novak was one of the few stars who walked away from fame.

Novak left Hollywood in the mid-1960s and made made occasional appearances in movies and TV (Falcon Crest in the 80’s), but since the 1990s, Novak and her husband, an equine veterinarian, have called Oregon home.

Novak came to the attention of Columbia Pictures, which put her under contract in 1954.  Her boss was Columbia chief Harry Cohn, a man legendary for his domineering treatment of those in his employ.  He wanted Novak, for example, to lose her family surname and become “Kit Marlowe.”

“I couldn’t do that,” recalls Novak, who changed her first name as a compromise.  “I’m not ‘Kit Marlowe,’ that’s not a real person.  My style of acting is as real today as it was 40 years ago, and I think that allowed me to survive.  I think that had a lot to do with why my films continue to be played a lot on television and I still remain popular, in a way, today, maybe more than a lot of people, because I can be identified as somebody who’s real.”
