Mariah Carey's rep told us to be poised for a big announcement from her on Twitter Wednesday afternoon (May 20), and sure enough, it came:
"Bcuz I Love U, I want u to be the first to know the title of my new album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. It's very personal & dedicated to u."
While Mariah's rep confirmed that the Tweet was legit, further details were not disclosed beyond the fact that the album is "coming soon."
However, back in January, songwriter/ producer/ artist
The-Dream told KIIS-FM about some tracks he'd begun working on with the singer the week before. The-Dream and his frequent collaborator Tickey Stewart produced the hit "Touch My Body" from Mariah's last album, E=MC2
"I'm trying to do the whole [album]," The-Dream told the station's DJ Skee.
"I love her, she's everything," he said of Carey. "She's down, she's cool, she gets it. You think she's this big, but she gets it. She's all the way in there. I told her we need to get back in there. It's not like it used to be where you can wait to come out with an album. I'm like, 'Let's go, let's do it!' And she's up for it."
The-Dream said he wouldn't want to take Mariah too far from the style that's brough her so much success in the past.
"It's like we're trying to make a greatest hits without using the greatest hits," he said. He added that he thought the album would be called MC3, but apparently that plan has changed.
Carey has said in the past how much she enjoys collaborating with other songwriters like The-Dream.
"Sometimes it's perhaps a co-writer, which you can definitely feed off that other person's energy or where they're coming from, and go back and forth with different ideas," Carey said in a statement. "That's a process that really inspires me and that I really love."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie walked the red carpet for Inglorious Basterds Wednesday evening in Cannes. Angelina wore Versace - a dress that US Weekly is calling ?cream-colored? but looks peachy-beige to me. Maybe it looks different in person? I?m kind of ?meh? on the dress, and wearing her hair down isn?t the best look. She looks a little tired, which I can understand. This is a whirlwind trip for her, yesterday in Holland, today in Cannes and tomorrow she?s probably headed back to New York.
Brad wore a classic tuxedo by Tom Ford, a brand he favors. The pictures show a very affectionate couple, but I?m sure there will be some conspiracy theories:
Ohh la la!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie showed some PDA at France’s Cannes Film Festival Wednesday.
The couple couldn’t keep their arms off each other on the red carpet for Pitt’s premiere of the Quentin Tarantino flick, Inglourious Basterds.
Pitt held Jolie’s hand as they made their way to the expansive carpet at the Palais Des Festivals. The duo then alternated between wrapping their arms around each other and gazing into each other’s eyes as they posed for the cameras. They never left each other’s sides.
Jolie donned a cream-colored Versace with a slit nearly up to her waist, while Pitt wore a dapper Tom Ford tuxedo.
Last night, Pitt and Jolie — who are staying at the luxe Hotel Du Cap in Antibes — ran into Twilight star Robert Pattinson at a dinner for Basterds.
“They spoke in the hallway. It didn’t seem like they knew each other that well, but the conversation was friendly,” a restaurant source told Usmagazine.com. “Brad shouted back to Rob, ‘Go inside and get something to eat.’ They all seemed happy.”
[From US Weekly]
I wish Brad had yelled ?Eat a sandwich and wash your hair for the love of God? at R-Pattz, but alas, Brad isn?t one to talk. Brad pulled it out for this trip, though. His clothes have been quite good, proving my theory that Brad cares a lot more about these red carpets than Angelina. I?m actually a little disappointed with Angelina?s dress. But, hey, at least it?s not black.
Here?s Brad and Angelina at the premiere of ‘Inglourious Basterds’ in Cannes today. Images thanks to WENN.com .

Estranged reality show stars Katie Price and Peter Andre’s well-publicized split is getting uglier with each passing day. Katie “Dignified Silence” Price has decided that all her husband’s belongings in their shared UK home should be purged before she returns to it with two of the couple’s children. Harvey, Katie’s seven year old son from a previous relationship, has been left at home in the care of nannies while Katie licks her wounds (read: sunbathes naked and gets wasted) in the Maldives. She ordered staffers to “get rid of everything” belonging to Peter and have it put into storage, even though Peter is due home today. Uh-oh.
DUMPED Jordan has ordered housekeepers at her 2.5million mansion to get rid of all husband Peter Andre?s belongings ? including his toothbrush.
The 30-year-old glamour girl, fuming with Peter Andre for ending their 3-year marriage, rang housekeepers from her hideaway in the Maldives.
And Jordan, real name Katie Price, screamed at them to remove his stuff before her scheduled return home later this week.
Reluctant staff boxed up Peter?s gear ? including designer clothes, precious family photos, jewellery and first copies of some of his CDs, such as Mysterious Girl.
Even the singer?s gym equipment and aftershave were shipped out of the 2.5million property in Woldingham, Surrey, in a huge red van.
A source said: ?Katie?s still very hurt after Pete dumped her and wants to get him back. She phoned up and was screaming down the phone at staff to get rid of all his stuff.
?They were asking what she wanted out and she was screaming, ?Everything, everything?! None of them wanted to do it to Pete, because he?s been kind.
?But Katie didn?t really leave them much choice.?
She fled to the Maldives last week with the couple?s children ? Junior, three, and one-year-old Princess Tiaamii.
Aussie Peter, 36, also left Britain after last week?s split to stay with family in Cyprus.
He is due home today ? but will find all his stuff has gone.
The insider added: ?Peter is in for a bit of a shock. Everything he owns has been taken from the home and put into storage.?
A spokesman for Peter refused to comment last night.
Jordan, also mum to seven-year-old Harvey by footballer Dwight Yorke, earlier insisted her boozing did NOT cause the split.
She said: ?I love my husband, but I can?t sit around crying. This is a new chapter in my life. Pete can?t blame this on me drinking. Over the five years of our relationship I?ve probably been out 20 times.
?I?m not a party girl and I don?t drink at home. So when I go out I can get drunk quickly.?
Katie spoke to OK! magazine shortly before jetting to the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.
She spent her sixth successive day there yesterday ? but is due home in days to meet Peter.
She has run up a huge mobile bill talking through her marriage woes with family and friends in a string of texts and phone calls.
And she sought advice from beautician chum Julie Rowlands as she sprawled naked on a lounger at her 4,200-a-night retreat.
Pals say keen horsewoman Jordan was furious that Peter blew his top and dumped her over snaps of her flirting tipsily with equestrian friends. But he believes her drunken antics were the final straw after years of bust-ups.
Peter has told friends the couple?s fly-on-the-wall reality TV shows helped ruin their marriage.
The pair have appeared together in a stream of shows documenting every aspect of their lives.
And Peter?s pal Panayiotis Neocleous said: ?The shows have really not helped their marriage.
?I speak to Peter a lot when he?s in Cyprus. All the attention was a big reason for the break-up.?
Peter is soon due to meet estate agents to search for a new home ? but may initially have to share the couple?s Surrey mansion.
One pal warned last night: ?There could be fireworks.?
Peter?s yoga teacher said his hunger for fame led him to wed the wrong woman.
Tracy Panayidou said: ?He got carried away by the attention he was getting with Jordan. He?s very depressed.?
[From The Sun]
I don’t understand what Katie is trying to do here. Publicly, she has stated multiple times that she doesn’t want Peter to leave. But her most recent actions certainly don’t support that. Generally, if a person dumps all their significant other’s stuff, it’s an indication that you want the person to leave. Am I missing something here? As for her claim that she’s hardly gone out partying since marrying Peter: it’s not how many times you go out - it’s how many times you get falling-down, flash-your-lady-parts drunk when you do.
Here are Katie and Peter when they were still happy and ass-grabbing in Venice Beach on March 10th. Images thanks to Fame Pictures .

The blog Young Black and Fabulous is reporting that Tila Tequila wrote on her official Twitter that she’s pregnant. The father (they think) is her current boyfriend, rapper Ray J. Apparently Courtenay Semel now has the illustrious title of being the ex of both Lindsay Lohan and Tila Tequila. The tweet, posted late at night, announced that her on-and-off sickness has been due to the fact that she’s knocked up.
?Before I bounce, and since it?s late? I?m gonna tell y?all something REAL FAST, and then delete it, ok?
?Since nobody is awake? reason why I?ve been feeling sick on and off lately is because yes, I am pregnant!
?*GASPS******Ok, bye.?
[from YBF]
There have also been some posts about a certain rapper who needs to “step up to the plate.” Some of her tweets on the subject:
“You should at least step up to the plate or I?m gonna have to put you on blast in the media?.and IM SURE thats not what you want do you?”
“All I know is if this m*therf*$ker doesnt step up soon Im gonna have to go to the media and put him on blast. imma give him 1 chance step up”
“I make my own m*thaf*&kin money, Im my own boss b*tch, so dont think I need you for anything. I will take care of it myself then.”
[from Slacker Chic]
While Ray J and Tila have been gallavanting about, he’s supposed to be dating the For the Love of Ray J winner, Cocktail. But we all know how long-lasting those reality TV relationships are. Look at Tila - after the first season of A Shot at Love: she was accused by the winner of the show of having a long-term boyfriend all through filming. He claimed that he tried contacting her and was shut down; her official statement was that they didn’t have enough time for each other.
Whatever, Tila. All I know is that having a mother who curses like that in a public forum is priceless, and that Tila’s baby is going to need some serious counseling when he/she grows up.

According to The Daily Mail via NYDN, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson may be back on or at least friends again. Lohan was spotted leaving Ronson’s home Monday morning. Presumably after spending the night and having angry lesbian sex.
This wasn’t the first time the two have been spotted together. In early May, Lohan tried to sneak out of Ronson’s home at 6:30 AM.
It’s clear Lindsay isn’t over the break-up as seen by the crazy, psycho ex-girlfriend statement on Ellen which pretty much claimed they were meant to be together.
I’m not even sure what Ronson has to offer that makes Lindsay keep coming back. Money? Fame? Power? Understanding? An emotional bond? A 10 inch penis? Which is it?
Here’s Lindsay looking completely whacked out coming back from a bar where she supposedly found Sam.

I already told you about this four months ago, but it’s finally being confirmed — Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez are dating. Page Six says
The blond actress was photographed at Friday’s game, cheering on the Bronx Bombers at the new Yankee Stadium.
But the real action came later that night at Mustang Grill on Second Avenue… [when a] bartender at the Southwestern joint “[asked] patrons not to go in the back room around 1 a.m. because A-Rod and Kate Hudson were back there making out.”
One staffer at the restaurant confirmed the two were there celebrating… although she did not witness any lip-lock herself.
The two were [also] spotted over the weekend outside the glamorous 15 Central Park West, where A-Rod rents an apartment.
For the record, making out with a guy in the back of a bar does NOT mean you’re dating him. It just means he picked up the tab. Am I right, ladies?

| | Is Ryan Phillippe cheating on Abbie Cornish in Cannes? | | Added 15 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Abbie Cornish and Ryan Phillippe are in Cannes to promote their projects. It comes as some surprise that they?re still together - I haven?t heard anything about them in months, back at the beginning of the year when there was some mutterings of Abbie being pregnant. That turned out not to be the case, so at least they?re good at flying under the radar and avoiding the gossip. Perhaps Ryan isn?t too good at it now, because Page Six is reporting that there may be some trouble in paradise for the couple.
While Abbie is out and about, promoting her film Bright Star (directed by Jane Campion, who did one my favorite films of all time, The Piano), Ryan is hanging out with random blondes until the wee hours of the morning:
Ryan Phillippe’s wandering eye should come as no surprise to Abbie Cornish.
Phillippe (above), who left his wife, Reese Witherspoon, for Cornish in 2006, was spotted partying with some blondes at VIP nightclub in Cannes, a spy reports.
Though Phillippe and Cornish went to the film festival together, the actor was later spotted at 3 a.m. partying with Ne-Yo at Nikki Beach. He went back with the singer for lunch the next day, and Cornish was not with them, according to a source. Phillippe’s rep had no comment.
[From Page Six]
I?m sure there will be lots of talk of ?once a cheater, always a cheater?, but I?ve never completely bought that infidelity stuff from Ryan. Yes, I?ll buy that he probably screwed around on Reese Witherspoon, but I don?t think that was the reason Reese and Ryan split. Maybe my view of relationships is just different - I tend to think that cheating if often a symptom of a bad relationship, not always the cause of a bad relationship. In any case, I wonder if Abbie thought she had tamed the womanizer?
Going back to Bright Star, the film Abbie?s promoting. It?s a true story based on the romance between the poet John Keats (played by Ben Whishaw) and Keats? neighbor Fanny Brawne (played by Cornish). So, it?s a period romance tearjerker, my favorite. I can?t wait!

Ordinarily, I would take a non-denial/non-confirmation of an engagement very lightly, but this report comes from People Magazine, so I suspect there could be something there. People is reporting that Orlando Bloom and Victoria?s Secret model Miranda Kerr are maybe engaged. Apparently, Miranda showed up in Cannes with a big ring on her finger, and her reps aren?t confirming or denying the engagement rumors. This, as opposed to the last time engagement rumors were swirling, and Miranda?s people had a hissy fit. So, what changed?
There’s something new adorning Miranda Kerr’s left ring finger ? and it looks remarkably like an engagement ring, according to photos of the Australian model with her boyfriend, Orlando Bloom.
And while last November Kerr’s rep vehemently denied news reports from Down Under that Kerr was engaged to the Pirates of the Caribbean star, this time there’s no denial. No confirmation, either. Simply, no comment.
“I am aware of the images. However, I am not in a position to comment,” Kerr’s rep, Carlii Lyon, tells PEOPLE. Bloom’s rep has yet to be reached for comment.
What is known: Kerr, 26, did fly into Cannes to be with Bloom, 32, for one night before turning around and going right back to New York for work ? prompting some observers to wonder if a proposal took place in the South of France.
After all, also last November, Kerr said. “I’ve always wanted kids, so someday, eventually, yes, it will happen.”
[From People Magazine]
Of all of the gay rumors that swirl about so many male and female celebrities, Orlando is one of the few that I tend to believe. For me, it?s really about the total lack of sexuality he seems to have. He comes across like a neutered Ken doll. He has zero chemistry with any of his leading ladies, but perhaps he?s just a horrible actor? Honestly, I?ve never gotten the appeal of either of them. Yes, both have nice bodies and are ?attractive? but they just seem epically boring. So, if they are engaged, congratulations to the happy couple. I?m sure they?ll be very…zzzz….

Not in the sexy way, but in the home invasion way. Rachel Bilson was in Canada with her boyfriend Hayden Christiansen when her L.A. house was robbed of its designer clothes, shoes, bags, vintage shoes and jewelry, some of which were heirlooms. “Even her Chanel collection?!,” you ask. Yes, even her Chanel collection. Bilson is said to be shaken up and feeling “violated.”
Bilson’s mom discovered the missing merchandise, which also included a television set, when she stopped by the house. There was no obvious sign of forced entry, and the source says police are investigating. Police did not comment on the incident.
“Fashion is her passion,” says Bilson’s pal. “She’s devastated.”
That sucks. She should consider booby trapping her home. That way when thieves make off with her designer labels it won’t be of much use because they’ll be impaled in a pit of sharpened bamboo sticks and forced to watch an endless loop of Hayden Christiansen movies. In fact, Rachel could just put a sign on her door that says, “Beware. Hayden Christiansen is acting.” No one will be within 100 yards of that.

| | Hindu Scholar: Gwyneth Paltrow is immature; Goop is superficial, not spiritual | | Added 15 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

The tagline for Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop website and weekly newsletter instructing us on everything from overpriced places to stay in London to overpriced fashion is “nurish the inner aspect.” Gwyneth sometimes includes quotes from spiritual “leaders” on ways that we can become more enlightened by doing things like not gossiping about her and reading books to our children. According an American Hindu scholar, Gwyneth’s Goopy words of quoted wisdom don’t mean much considering all the promotion of consumerism she does on her website:
Hindu scholars have poked fun at Gwyneth Paltrow for using religious terminology to promote her “mundane” weekly Goop blog.
U.S. Hindu leader Rajan Zed suggests the movie star should take the trouble to learn more about the ancient religion before using taglines like “nourish the inner aspect” on her website.
Zed fears Paltrow is leading impressionable minds astray by suggesting her weekly musings are deep and philosophical - and then just writing about material, “external” matters.
He says, “There are not many deep, spiritual and philosophical thoughts in the blog, which are an essential part of nourishing the inner self.
“The actress needs to grow-up and stop writing about mundane topics like ‘Boots by Gucci’, ‘Banana Pancakes’, ‘The Hungry Cat’ and ‘Tweezerman’ - in which she talks about taming the unruly eyebrows of men. Instead, she needs to talk about topics like realising self, immortality, deeper reality, eternity, soul, inner realms of the mind and spirit, pure consciousness. That’s if she’s truly serious about inner aspect.”
[From Contact Music via Fark]
I googled this guy Rajan Zed and he has a Wikipedia entry and if he’s being quoted correctly at least he’s a legitimate person. Wiki notes that he’s criticized the film Angels & Demons for misrepresenting the Catholic Church so I would bet that he’s one of those “scholars” that makes a name for himself by badmouthing people. I hate to defend Gwyneth, but to say she doesn’t have a right to pepper her fashion and lifestyle advice with superficial spiritual guidance is like denying Oprah a right to exist. There are also so many magazines that mix self help with more surface level pursuits. Gwyneth is just an easier target because the brand is all about her, and she’s just so smug and unlikeable.
As Kaiser has pointed out, it’s not about Gwyneth imparting helpful advice, it’s about her blessing us mortals with her superior knowledge. This guy probably knows a thing or two about that, and you would think that real Hindu scholars would make it a point to wish everyone well and not put them down. That said, Gwyneth should probably change Goop’s tagline to something more accurate like “aspire to be like me.”

|
The photcall and first press conference for Inglourious Basterds has already happened in Cannes, and there?s some funny stuff coming out. Brad Pitt is claiming that he doesn?t even really remember signing on to the film because Quentin Tarantino got him hammered on five bottles of wine. Brad describes this as taking place ?at the end of the summer?, which most likely means that Quentin came to visit Chateau Miraval last summer, after Angelina gave birth to the twins. So Brad has been drinking heavily ever since the babies were born. And Angelina was taking care of the babies while Brad and Quentin got drunk on French wine. There?s more:
Brad Pitt said today his appearance in Quentin Tarantino’s new Second World War film began over five bottles of wine and some kind of “smoking apparatus”.
Inglourious Basterds stars Pitt as an American army officer leading a group of Jewish-American soldiers around Europe taking violent revenge on Nazis.
Tarantino was a bundle of energy as he talked about the movie today, clearly delighted to be back in competition for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival 15 years after he won it for Pulp Fiction.
“Quentin came to visit some time at the end of the summer, we talked about backstory, we talked about movies,” he said.
“I get up the next morning and see five empty bottles of wine right on the floor. Five.?
“And something that resembles a smoking apparatus - I don’t know what that was about - and apparently I had agreed to do this film.?
“Six weeks later I was in uniform, and I was Lieutenant Aldo Raine (his character in the film).”
Tarantino said he was only days away from abandoning the project altogether at the casting stage after struggling to find the right actor to play one of the German generals.
[From Metro-UK]
There?s another interesting article, but this one is mainly quotes from Tarantino. Which is great if you love him (like me) because the man is a first-rate talker. The crux of the interview seems to be director Lars von Trier?s recent Cannes claim, as he was being booed for his film Anti-Christ, that he was God. Tarantino makes a similar claim, but hedges with ?I am god… as far as the characters are concerned.?
Ebullient as usual on stage, Quentin Tarantino met the press today shortly after the overwhelmingly packed first screening of his new film, ?Inglourious Basterds? this morning at the Cannes Film Festival. He praised Cannes as the holy land and declared himself god. But, there?s more to the story.
Opening in German-occupied France in 1941, Tarantino?s latest follows a young woman who opens a Paris movie theater after barely escaping the execution of her entire family by the Nazis. Elsewhere, a group of renegade Jewish soldiers band together to capture Nazis, ultimately joining forces with the woman (and her movie theater) to plot the demise of Hitler and his cohorts to end the war.
Asked this morning whether he stands by a previous statement that he loves all of his characters, QT continued the steady stream of auterist language being found here in Cannes this year.
?I love [my characters] from this god perspective because I am god as far as the characters are concerned, because I created them,? Tarantino said today.
The talk of the film may very well be the role of Nazi Col. Hans Landa, arguably the key character within the ensemble cast. Played by Austrian actor Christoph Waltz, who practically steals the show, Tarantino explained today that without the right man to play the role, he was ready to scrap the movie.
?I realized that I was writing a pretty impressive character pretty early on,? Tarantino explained, reiterating that finding the right actor was essential to the movie. ?There was something very liberating about [being willing to walk away] from it rather than make a compromise.?
Later in the gathering, fellow actor Brad Pitt validated Tarantino?s assertions about authorship, saying, ?It?s a real pleasure working for an auteur and something special to come here to the holy land with him.?
[From Indie Wire]
It?s true that Cannes was the first festival to recognize Tarantino as a genius, and it cracks me up that both Quentin and Brad Pitt refer to Cannes as ?the holy land?. The reviews are starting to come in, and it?s about what I expected. The high-brow media outlets don?t care for Basterds, while everybody else thinks it?s pretty good. BBC News has a decent review of the film, calling it a ?comic revenge fantasy? and a blend of western and war genres, with some ?camp-operatic? parts. Nearly everyone is interested in the German actor Christoph Waltz, a TV star who plays SS officer Colonel Hans Landa in the film, many pointing out that he steals every scene he?s in. The biggest criticisms thus far seem to the time (Basterds is nearly three hours long) and ?Pitt’s character not getting the screen time he deserves.? So Quentin got Brad hammered and made him smoke some kind of homemade bong, and Brad didn?t even get the best part? For shame, Quentin.

Now, whether or not you think Brooke Hogan is hot is beside the point. If she's gonna show you some breast, you can't be rude and not look. I personally think Brooke has a face that even a mother couldn't love, but I will gladly check out that body and those titties! They are pretty damn nice! I wonder how many people dress like that at McDonald's. Apparently I need to start eating crap like that again if people with bodies like Brooke Hogan wear only sports bras!

Yeah, I know that I posted a header picture that doesn't actually show the legs of Eliza Dushku, but you can get over that. She is pretty hot in that picture, so I used it to wow you into looking at the rest. Eliza was out in New York showing her legs off for the public, and I'm actually becoming fond of the actress. Her most likely lame show (haven't seen it honestly) is being renewed so that means will get to see more hot outfits on the TV screen. And when it comes to Eliza Dushku, getting to see her looking sexy is a very good thing!

I had completely forgotten that Jennifer Love Hewitt ever tried her hand at pop stardom in the first place, but her boyfriend Jamie Kennedy claims she now has a country song in the works. Jennifer hasn’t released any new material since 2002’s ‘BareNaked’ album, for those of you keeping track. NME says
Hewitt’s boyfriend Jamie Kennedy [said, "Jennifer is] writing a country song. I really want to make her a new demo for her music, because I think she should do singing again. She’s so good.”
The only thing “country” at which Jennifer Love Hewitt has any chance of succeeding is downing an entire country ham in one sitting. Maybe she should look into that instead.

Patrick Swayze is hanging in there in his battle against terminal pancreatic cancer. It’s pretty sad how the tabloids are printing details of his personal medical information, as if people are so interested in when and how he’s going to die. Some things should be sacred, especially with someone who has lived as low-key a life as Swayze. Some radio DJs went too far and started a rumor that he had passed, prompting Swayze’s rep to release a statement that it wasn’t true along with a nice picture of his client hanging out on his ranch in New Mexico with his wife of 34 years, Lisa Niemi:
The Internet exploded this morning with rumors that the Dirty Dancing star had lost his public battle with pancreatic cancer, but the actor’s rep has quickly corrected the record.
“This is to confirm that Patrick Swayze did not pass away this morning, contrary to severely reckless reports stemming from a radio station in Jacksonville, Fla.,” his publicist, Annett Wolf, says in a statement to E! News.
“Patrick is alive, well and is enjoying his life, and he continues to respond to treatment.”
The rep also released a new photo of Swazye and his wife, Lisa Niemi , taken last week at their New Mexico ranch.
The 56-year-old Beast star has been dogged by rumors of failing health since he made public his diagnosis last year.
The latest round came this morning, when his premature death was reportedly announced on air during a radio news segment on KISS-FM.
Adding to the confusion is that there are two Jacksonville-area radio stations with those call letters, though neither is eager to take credit for the report.
The programming director for 99.9 WKIS-FM, however, has already spoken out denying that the rumor originated on his airwaves.
As for Swayze, the actor is still waiting on another verdict?that of his A&E show.
The Beast did not appear on the cable net’s programming lineup when A&E unveiled its fall schedule last week, but a rep for the network said that a final decision about the show’s future has yet to be made.
[From E! Online]
We don’t often take the high road on CB, that’s not what we’re about, but we have a policy not to publish photos of celebrities at funerals and not to post serious medical details about celebrities unless they or their publicists confirm the news. In Swayze’s case the gossip press has been saying he’s about to keel for months and I’m sorry for putting it so bluntly but that’s what’s they’re doing and it’s not fair to him or his family. He is facing the toughest battle of his life and he doesn’t deserve to go through that and have to deal with all these rumors saying he’s about to die. No matter if that’s true or not he needs to keep his spirits up and those type of stories can only bring him down. How awful to have to hear a story that you’ve died. It’s nice to see this photo and hear that he’s hanging in there. We are thinking of him and rooting for him.

Paris Hilton brought out a swimsuit in the deluge of celebrities at Cannes. I'm actually a fan of the suit, just not a fan of Paris. I think the heiress looks consistently ridiculous in her headbands that it's not even funny anymore. I mean, come on Paris. Thankfully, the pool water has chlorine in it that hopefully neutralizes some of the things that live in her nether regions. Still, I wouldn't go swimming with Paris Hilton just to be safe. Sea monsters might come out of there.

Star Magazine ran a two page story in this week’s edition all about the 26 year-old woman who is carrying Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s twins. They included a photo of the surrogate, used her full name, and listed the name of the small town in Ohio where she lives. Star had quotes from the woman’s ex husband, who has custody of their four year old son and claimed that she’s a deadbeat mom who has missed child support payments. They also gave personal medical details like the fact that she had Guillian-Barre disorder in the past, a neurological disorder that left her temporarily paralyzed, and raided her MySpace for more information, including the fact that she’s into dressing punk.
Sarah Jessica Parker spoke to Access Hollywood about the fact that she’s expected twins via surrogate, and said that she’s very worried about the safety of her unborn babies and the woman who is carrying them. She said there are people who really don’t care whether her babies and their surrogate are healthy, and she was undoubtedly referring to Star’s piece:
Sarah Jessica Parker says the surrogate mom carrying the actress’s twins is a strong woman who made “an incredibly generous and gracious choice.”
But Parker now worries that this strength is being put to too much of a test from the media attention following the announcement the Sex and the City star and husband Matthew Broderick are expecting twin girls.
“On a daily basis, on an hourly basis, I am greatly concerned for her health and safety and the safe delivery of our children,” Parker, 44, tells Access Hollywood in an interview airing Tuesday.
Parker alleges that the surrogate, along with her friends and family, have been subjected to threats and harassment by the tabloid media. “Obviously there are those that don’t care about her, or her health, or safety, or my children’s health and safety, and that they should go to term and not go into an early labor and, god forbid, suffer all the things that can happen ? that is a real possibly,” she says.
All this comes at what should be one of the happiest times in the lives of the couple, who turned to a surrogate out of necessity. “We have been trying to expand our family for a number of years and we actually have explored a variety of ways of doing so,” Parker says. “It would have been odd to have made this choice if I was able to have had successful pregnancies since my son’s birth.”
[From People]
Star really crossed a line by publishing the full name of Parker’s surrogate along with the town where she lives. They seem to have some kind of personal vendetta against Parker. According to RadarOnline, Star was about to break the then-”exclusive” news on their cover three weeks ago that Parker and Broderick were having twins through a surrogate when Parker decided to scoop them and make the announcement herself. It’s reckless for Star to then turn around and print the surrogate’s name, location and personal information. They could have had the same story about the surrogate with just her first name and maybe the county. No one needs to know the woman’s full name and exact location in a gossip piece. That was some kind of payback from Star. Unfortunately it’s Parker’s twins and the woman who are now at risk.
The good news is that the surrogate, whose name I won’t use here, has a very common first and last name. She’s also not listed in the phone book and finding her isn’t that simple even using those “People Search” finders that search public records. It’s also likely that Parker and Broderick have made arrangements for her safety now that her name has been released.

Chris Pine has just been downgraded from one of my favorite young actors to one of those guys who has really bad taste in women. Chris, whose celebrity is on the rise, is allegedly hooking up with Audrina Patridge. Yes, that girl from The Hills. The one with the fake boobs who isn?t Heidi Montag. According to Star Magazine, Chris and Audrina have been hooking up on the downlow since April. Star claims Chris is keeping Audrina ?under the radar? because he?s still technically with girlfriend Beau Garrett. I suspect Chris is keeping Audrina on the downlow because he doesn?t want to be seen with a girl who is dumb as a box of hair:
Chris Pine is beaming from ear to ear these days. The Star Trek hottie has been hooking up under the radar with Audrina Patridge. The couple was spotted drinking together at the Red Lion Tavern in L.A. the weekend of May 16, but Star can reveal that they’ve been sharing secret dates since April!
The honey from The Hills first met Chris in Vegas while both attended the ShoWest Awards in early April. “Audrina had been looking for a boyfriend for a while,” a source tells Star. “She thought Chris was so charming. Not to mention really hot!”
Back in L.A., they continued their fling with secret hookups at Chris’ pad. On May 2, Audrina made an early-morning exit from the building ? wearing the heels and tank top she?d donned the night before!
“It’s no surprise that Chris is taking her back to his place,?” an insider tells Star. He and girlfriend Beau Garrett have been on the rocks for a while. And Beau, 26, lost a boyfriend to The Hills’ vixens before! “She used to date Lauren Conrad?s boyfriend, Kyle Howard,” a source adds. “She must really hate that show!”
It remains to be seen if it’s the real thing for Audrina and Chris. He’s set to embark on the press tour for Star Trek, and she’s caught up in the MTV on-screen drama. “I hope Chris makes time for special dates with Audrina,” the insider adds. “They?re a really cool couple.”
[From Star Magazine]
Audrina was wearing heels and a tank top to her hookup with Chris? That?s the exact outfit Chris claimed he loved on women when Cosmopolitan interviewed him. Now, if Audrina only talks up his penis size, Chris will probably stick with her.
I had such high hopes for Chris too. He was never going to be the next Gerard Butler (who could be, really?) but Chris could have been the next Matt Damon, perchance. He had that wholesome, funny, average-guy thing going for him, but that will be destroyed if this report is for real. It?s funny how learning that a guy has awful taste in women just destroys the fantasy for me.

Angelina Jolie has arrived in Cannes! Just in time to walk the red carpet for Inglorious Basterds Wednesday evening. The Gossip Girls are reporting that Angelina and Brad arrived Tuesday night, as they were photographed ?hopping out of their chauffeur-driven SUV?. This flies in the face of People Magazine?s reporting from earlier in the week, where they had Brad in Cannes as of Monday. LaineyGossip had Brad in Cannes earlier in the week too - maybe Brad was there, but flew into the Netherlands to meet Angelina at the Hague? Or he just met her plane at the airport and they drove into Cannes together? We?ll probably never figure it out!
Now that she?s there, the gossip has become about the clothes. Women?s Wear Daily has a ?scoop? on what label Angelina will don for her first red carpet appearance since the Oscars. They claim she?ll be wearing a dress by Belstaff, the brand that designed several wardrobe pieces for Inglorious Basterds:
Rumors are already aflutter in Cannes as to what Angelina Jolie will don for the premiere of Quentin Tarantino?s ?Inglourious Basterds? ? in which Brad Pitt stars ? on Wednesday.
Word has it the working mom is considering a red-carpet dress by Belstaff, the brand behind the military-style jacket worn by her beau in the movie. Belstaff, which fetes its 85th anniversary this year, is sponsoring the film?s after party at the Baoli Beach, along with The Weinstein Co. and Universal.
The jacket worn by Pitt in the film will be on display, along with a range of Belstaff pieces due to star in upcoming flicks, including ?Amelia? with Hilary Swank and ?Public Enemies,? starring Johnny Depp.

Emma Watson is legal, right? *Checks Wikipedia* Good. Because her bra slipped out while she was walking around yesterday. Also, she showed off her tight ass. Who knew this geek from Harry Potter would turn out so sexy? I mean, the first thing that comes to mind when someone starts talking to me about wizards, demons and quidditch isn’t “I bet the girls that are into this are really hot,” it’s “After I punch this dork in the face, I wonder how many of these virgins I can stuff into a trash can at once?”

Famed writer/director Pedro Almodovar (Volver, Talk to Her) is at Cannes right now promoting his new movie Broken Embraces, which is one of ten movies up for a Palme d’Or top prize. At a press junket, he told everyone one time he went down on an actress in order to show an actor what’s up.
‘I play all the roles on set,’ Almodovar said at Cannes where he is attending the premiere of his latest oeuvre ‘Broken Embraces’.
‘In a film I made a long time ago … I even performed cunnilingus on an actress to show the actor how to do it,’ he said at a press conference as he sat next to Penelope Cruz, who stars in his new movie.
Bam! And that, my friends, is why I want to be a director.
