Radar Online caught Michael Phelps partying it up at the Palms Casino Playboy Club in Vegas this week. Apparently Phelps showed up with an entourage whose job it was to point flashlights at people trying to photograph the swimmer taking part in his skeevy activities.
They let Jerry Springer have a kid?!? No, they didn’t. They did let him adopt a pig though. He told the National Enquirer that he found a pig at the Los Angeles County Fair that was going to be slaughtered, and decided to save it. He says,
They were going to slaughter Bella. So I bought her. She should live about 25 years, so I’m going to put her in my will.
And that’s the news tonight!
1. Ricky Martin’s surrogate was not his cousin, as previously rumored, but actually a 26-year-old career surrogate. Ok, much less gross.
2. Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin’s baby daddy was forced to attend the GOP convention on Wednesday. He apparently was tied down to get a quickie tattoo of Bristol’s name on his finger before the event too. Hey, they needed to make it look like he actually wanted to be chained to this chick for the rest of his life.
3. More info is in now about David Duchovny’s sex addiction. Apparently he likes internet porn, like a lot, and also reportedly cheated on his wife Tea Leoni. He’s now doing a 35-day stint at Meadows rehab center in Arizona. That’s called sex addiction? I think it’s more like the dude wasn’t getting any at home so he went elsewhere.
4. Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson are sorta back together again. The two were spotted kissing in front of Hudson’s apartment, and she recently told Cosmo, “look, we’re still basically living together! We’ve figured it out. I mean, obviously nothing’s perfect, but I could never look at [our divorce] as a mistake. If anything, it’s the best thing that ever happened to us.”
5. A source at Petit Tresor was apparently lying when she told ABC News that Jamie Lynn Spears sent Bristol Palin a baby gift. Lynne Spears personally told E! News that the rumors were untrue.
6. Lily Allen has finally spoken up about her drunken feud with Elton John at the GQ awards earlier this week. She says she was just joking around after drinking the free champagne, nothing wrong with that.
What’s this? Could this be Britney rehearsing for the VMAs? And oh crap, she actually looks… good? Watch the video here.
Arg, I hate when I can’t find a reason to make fun of someone. Wait… I see it, do you? Britney looks like she’s about to spew out an alien baby. Alert the press!
Update: Brit’s manager says no, not a VMA rehearsal, she’s just fooling around with friends.
Michael Lohan sets up the paparazzi for this weekend’s festivities.
He says that his father will be cremated and his ashes will be sprinkled in Cold Spring Harbor. The family, which Michael is saying will include Lindsay and his other kids, will go out on a boat, and release the ashes together.
If any photographers want to get a good shot, best bet would probably be to rent a boat and go out with them.
Lance actually admitted to Men’s Journal that his sex drive kinda blows. He says,
I had sex if I had the energy. I wasn’t one of those guys who believed in the myths about the guy losing his chi. The fact is that if you are riding your bike six, seven hours a day, you are not a sex champion. You’re just not. You have fatigue, low testosterone and a lower libido. But you know, I never got any complaints.
He threw in that last line after he realized he couldn’t take back what he had just said. That truth serum’s a bitch.
Word on the street is that Amy Winehouse has requested that 48 bottles of Jack Daniels to be delivered backstage this weekend to the Bestival festival in the U.K. A source says,
It’s common for artists to make requests for food and beverages before they arrive. But organisers have heard Miss Winehouse has ordered in an extremely large amount of Jack Daniel’s, in fact, a ridiculous amount that she and her team could not possibly consume during their short stay.
I’m pretty sure that source is lying. My sources tell me that Amy Winehouse probably could could consume 48 bottles of whiskey on her own.
Lindsay has reportedly turned down a $700,000 offer from Playboy to do a nude spread for their 55th anniversary issue in January. Her rep told Playboy’s creative consultant Hal Lifson,
If there’s nudity, then the answer’s no . . . She’s not going down the [New York] magazine road again.
Lifson had wanted to lure Lindsay into the job by making it a tribute to Ann-Margret’s film “Kitten With a Whip,” because apparently Lindsay’s a huge fan. As you might recall, New York Magazine used the same technique on Linds by offering to do a nude tribute to Lindsay’s idol Marilyn Monroe.
The Sun found a source who claims to have some parts of Lynne Spears’ new book, Through the Storm. It’s full of parenting tips. Apparently people should be taking everything Lynne Spears says she did in this book, and doing the complete opposite.
Here are some highlights (or lowlights, whatever they should be called).
-Britney started drinking at 13, and Lynne didn’t mind as long as she wasn’t around when it was happening.
-At 14, Britney lost her virginity to the star football player at her high school. Lynne encouraged it all cause she thought it would make Brit popular.
-Brit Brit started sleeping with Justin Timberlake after that, and that was ok with Lynne too, for whatever reason, probably something to do with upping her music career.
-Lynne let Brit’s managers portray her as a sex symbol because they said it would be good for her career, which she apparently now regrets.
-Britney started using drugs at 15, and was caught trying to get on a plane with cocaine and pot a year after that.
So you might be thinking, what exactly is Lynne’s justification for publishing all of her daughter’s private moments for the world to see? Here’s the kicker, Lynne wants this book to change people’s perceptions of her as a terrible mother. LoL.
Lily Allen is saying that she thinks someone spiked her drink earlier this year at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. Apparently she says she got really wasted that night, made an ass of herself, and doesn’t remember anything that happened. She says,
I woke up in my bed at 8am and felt totally fine. So I Googled myself, and then I saw the pictures. It was awful. I can’t believe I got into that state. It leads me to believe somebody put something in my drink because it’s totally not in my repertoire to do something like that.
Yeah, and I’m assuming she’s going to say the same thing about her little spat with Elton John a couple days ago at the GQ Men of the Year awards too.
Rachel Bilson looks hot on the cover of Page Six Magazine’s fashion issue, but does a boring interview inside. Something about Hayden Christensen being awesome, how she’s always dating her costars, and being the maid of honor at OC creator Josh Schwartz’s upcoming wedding (like we really care about that).
Well at least she looks good. Ok, really good.
I hear lots of “awwww”s, but am I the only one thinking ewww?
Paris has got a plan! Apparently, she’s forced the Toronto International Film Festival to cancel a couple of screenings of her new documentary that will be showing there next week, in order to drum up some hype for the film. She thought of this on her own?
The movie, called “Paris, Not France,” directed by Adrian Petty (daughter of Tom Petty) is basically just a flick about Paris’ life. I’m sure I’ve seen the same thing on MTV or E! or something like that at some point. Well now you can pay to see the same thing, if you can get into the only screening of it at the film fest. Either that, or you can wait till it comes out in theaters, and pay to see it there. Paris’ rep Jason Moore tells Page Six,
We wanted to create more buzz - create some hype. We felt the impact would be more extreme if we had one screening. She is a partner with the documentary and will be attending Tuesday’s screening in support of it.
Ah! “we wanted to create more buzz,” not “Paris wanted to create more buzz.” I knew I didn’t just miss the news about her brain overloading and bursting into flames.
Apparently festival organizers are P.O’ed about the filmmakers’ ingenious plan, but there’s nothing they can do about it because Paris Hilton just did her little pout. Toronto Film Fest programmer Thom Powers says,
I wish we could do more, but it’s better than not showing it at all.
