Briefing on the Moss, Sienna, Senator Ben and Steve-O

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 6:17 PM | Permalink

Yes, we've heard that Kate Moss got caught snorting lines of coke and lost her modeling jobs as a result. But do we really need to see the documentary footage? Britain's Channel Sky One says it is going to show "Kate Moss: Fashion Victim?"

Actor Ben Affleck, of "Dogma" "Gigli" and "Pearl Harbor," is rumored to be considering a run for the U.S. Senate for shits and giggles. Will he run from California? Massachusetts? Or Virginia where he and Jennifer Garner just bought a house? One Virginian says Not so Fast, Senator Ben.

Did Sienna Miller miscarry Jude Law's baby?

Something Wicked This Way Comes ... This sounds delicious: expect Bree's son Andrew to pull out all the stops as he seeks revenge on his mother on the upcoming episode of "Desperate Housewives."

Former MTV "Jackass" star Steve-O was pulled off Comedy Central's "Too Late with Adam Corolla" for being drunk and disorderly after falling through a glass table backstage.

So if OK! magazine is paying $3 million for Ashton and Demi's wedding photos, that must mean it really did take place? Ashton wouldn't punk OK! for $3 million would he? Would he?

You Don't Have to Double Dare Evangeline Lilly

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 5:08 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

She may canoodle a gentle hobbit and describe herself as a "good little Christian girl," but new hottie-on-the-block Evangeline Lilly somehow manages to lose most her clothes when she posed for the cover of Rolling Stone.

"I've been called a walking oxymoron," Evangeline says of her mixed public persona. "People say I'm half-boy, half-girl." Besides her dual sides of good and bad, she's also one chick who will seldom pass up a dare.

"One night, we had all gone bowling," says Evangeline who plays the female lead on "Lost." "Most people left, so it was myself, Matthew [Fox], Jorge [Garcia] and Dominic [Monaghan] -- three goofy, out-there guys. So we're in the middle of a parking lot in Kailua, daring each other to do things. Jorge turns to me and says, 'I'll give you twenty dollars if you pee in that garbage can.'" Lilly flashes her sweetheart grin. "Thirty seconds later, I've got my pants down and my bum hanging into this garbage can, and he has to give me twenty dollars."
, "I don't have a lot of inhibition," she added to writer Gaven Edwards. "I really don't want to be mysterious. Women in this business are expected to put forth a poised and perfect persona. I want people to see that I'm an ordinary-Joe girl."

Um, so Evangeline is open and fresh and appealing in the Rolling Stone profile out on news stands now or you can read the entire article online. The actress isn't afraid to reveal everything about herself, even that she's been branded a "potty-mouth" by co-star and boyfriend Dominic Monaghan, and that Matthew Fox thinks she's "weird".

"[Matthew] is constantly looking at me and saying, 'Evie, do you realise you're really weird?' And then he'll just walk away."

He may have ended up in sixth place on "American Idol" but Constantine Maroulis continues to be one of the more prominent and successful contestants ever. Next he'll be showing his fans his acting chops on a new ABC series he's just signed to do, People magazine reports.

Constantine told People that the as yet unnamed show is being produced by Kelsey Grammer's company, and that he is also busy recording a solo album. Meanwhile, he has often been named as the "crowd favorite" by critics who have reviewed the American Idols' tour, and has the new Bohemian Rhapsody single to his credit.

As Cons would say, "It's all good."

The War on Tara: Enough Blame To Go Around

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 4:24 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

"Taradise" is officially cancelled, offers for other acting gigs are not pouring in, and "American Pie" actress Tara Reid is blaming the media ...and her publicists ... and directors ... and her Taradise producers ... as the cause of her career sliding into the toilet.

"People think I am just a party girl, and it's bullshit," she told Chaunce Hayden of Steppin' Out magazine, who reported it to PageSix. "I wish they would just tell the truth. I'm not a drunk . . . I don't have a drinking problem. I don't have a drug problem, for sure."

"Listen, if I could get good movies, you would never see me going out. But when there's nothing to do, what am I supposed to do, just sit in my house and go crazy? But going out is not all I do. I'm just fed up. I just want a chance again. I want to show that I am an actress . . . I just wish a director would believe in me."
, "I've had a million publicists," Tara continued,"and they've done nothing for me . . . Publicists are supposed to fight for me and believe in me, and they don't do that. They don't!"

The rant continued: "I thought 'Taradise' was going to help me. I wanted to show the whole world the truth — I'm fun. But do I think it was cut like that? No. It could have been a better show . . . I didn't want to look like a total party-girl drug retard. I think the shots they show aren't fair."

"How many more years are [the media] going to pick on me? There's other new young bad girls. Move on to someone else! . . . I need one more great movie role so they say, 'Wow, she can act! She's a great actress.' Then I think they'll leave me alone . . . If I'm going to try and do something, it has to happen this year. I'm not stupid."

Have Gun, Will Space Travel to a Galaxy Far Far Away

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 9:10 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Former Buffy villain Nathan Fillion straps on his six-shooter, hoists his rubber suspenders, and patches together his crappy spaceship in his long-awaited (well, two years) return as outlaw Capt. Mal Reynolds in the big screen sci fi epic "Serenity."

Our Captain Mal again leads a grumbling, ragtag motley crew on a rickety spaceship-for-hire 500 years in the future. If you were able to catch the original TV series "Firefly" that the movie is based on, you may remember that the Fox Network ran it for all of 11 episodes before canceling it AFTER they butchered it, first, by not showing the premiere episode, then by showing other episodes out of sequence in order to confuse ANY fans the show might attract. Despite Fox's botch job, the fans stuck with the series anyway. Hopefully, the feature film will have a more successful launch.

Hilton Parents Aren't So Sure About Paris-Parish Match

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 6:34 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Columnist Cindy Adams at the New York Post gossip desk is reporting that the Paris Hilton - Paris Latsis romance is on the rocks, according to the parents of "The Simple Life" star.

Adams reports the following conversation was "clearly, clearly, clearly overheard" by a source at a Hamptons restaurant between Rick and Kathy Hilton at the next table:

Kathy: "I'm not thrilled with this Latsis kid because of his values. He lives in a $12 million house in Beverly Hills and has no job. My kids, Paris and Nicky, worked part-time since they were 15, as Rick did. I feel this kid has no motivation to work ever. Why would he? He's a billionaire almost and his family lets him have and do what he wants. He's not a bad kid. Just not motivated."
, "I don't knock him to Paris at all. I never tell her what to do. But I am fearful for her future with him. And I do not think she should marry him. I hope she doesn't, but I'll always support everything my kids do.

"Paris is now just discovering her own self. And what matters to her in life. She's still developing emotionally and professionally. Her ideals and tastes will change. I do not want her divorced. From anyone. I want her to make good choices for herself — as Rick and I did."

Rick: "He's nice, but nobody except a rich kid. Why isn't he working? Even in his family's business?"

Kathy: "Thank God she's stopped seeing him regularly."

The Amazing Race 8: Family Friendly Edition

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 5:21 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

The eighth edition of Amazing Race: Family Edition began last night with 10 teams, each comprised of four family members (count it up: that's 40 people!) who embark on an 11,000-mile race that begins beneath New York's Brooklyn Bridge. As the teams got stuck in traffic on I-95, the sound of millions of TV remotes clicking over to "My Name is Earl" could be heard.

Granted, this race is quite different than what we've seen before and kudos to the producers for trying something new. But I can see bickering families smacking each other while hopelessly lost in an SUV on I-70 anytime. That's why die-hard fans like to see the race move to different countries; the traffic jam of cars and cows in New Dehli are somehow more interesting.

Anyhoo, so we have The Pert Shampoo girls (the Bransens), The Pink Sisters (Godlewskis), Miss Louisiana and her family, the Schroeders (also from Louisiana), the Gaghan parents and little kids, the rude Paolos, the Black family from San Francisco, and a few others.

Me, I'm rooting for the insane clown posse New York Italian family. Always good for the best quotes: "You're Overthinking!" Chill, paisanos, stop screaming for juuuuuust a sec while I go fetch some aspirin... [pause] Okay, let's continue.

So, go figure, it's that same New York family who gets LOST in Manhattan. Father Tony Paolo says: "A New Yorker gets lost in Manhattan? What a day!" His oldest son agrees: "This is disgraceful! We're so stupid!"

Desperate Housewives Begins Season 2 With New Mystery

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 11:42 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Bree Van De Kamp was the Big Story Sunday night on the second season premiere of "Desperate Housewives" as she grieved, in her own quiet smoldering angry way, over hubby Rex who kicked the can last spring of a heart attack, which was brought on by Bree's love sick psycho pharmacist.

Her equally control-freaked mother-in-law, the dastardly Phyllis, arrives and tries to take over the funeral arrangements and attempts to eliminate all referencess to his wife, Bree. Bree bans her from the service but her grieving kids stick up for their grandmother. She relents. At the funeral, Bree goes silently balistic when she sees her dead husband lying in the coffin wearing a silly orange prep-school tie that his mom placed on him.
, One of the best scenes ever on DH: Bree stalks the church as other funeral goers cower in terror and demands Lynette's husband Tom remove his tie. He wordlessly hands her the tie and she proceeds to roughly manhandle the dearly departed, putting the better tie on the dead body while the whole church watches. (Creepy, but that's the whole tongue-in-cheek kind of humor that D-wives is famous for.)

On a more chipper note, the perfect and ever-thoughtful Bree later pays a social call and takes a basket of homebaked cookies to welcome the new housewife and resident concert pianist, Betty (Alfre Woodard), a single mother who is wierdly touchy-feely with her hunky teenage son, and we are let in on her big Wisteria Lane secret that she has a mystery prisoner (a white guy) locked up in her basement. She feeds him well so you know she's a caring person, even if she carries a gun around the house.

When we last left our heroine, Susan, and her boyfriend, Mike, were being held at gunpoint by Zach, the deranged teenage of the suicide victim Mary Alice, but but no surprise here as Zach aims the gun at Mike, ditsy Susan knocks him down, and the teen escapes through the door. Later Mike and Susan are then called by the cops to view a body in the morgue believed to be Zach, but when they get there, they are relieved it isn't him, and the release of tension causes Mike to admit to Susan that he suspects Zach is the son he never knew he had, and he also feels the need to explain that it was Mary Alice who murdered Mike's girlfriend, but later Susan breaks down after connecting the dots, and she's like Ewww! she can't stand the thought of Zach around if he is indeed Mike's son which means that she needs to protect her own teenage daughter, which is why she tells Mike they can't possibly live together now.

Over at Lynette's madhouse, you'll remember she managed to push her husband Tom over the edge last season, and he announced he will now be a housefrau and she can get her ass off to work everyday and, despite having been a stay-at-home mom for like six years, she gets an interview for an account executive position at a top ad agency (yeah, like THAT happens in real life), and on her big day, her husband's back goes kaput so she has no choice but to tote the baby to the interview which horrifies the female human resources director, but she gets the job anyway cuz the male boss just think she has spunk when she repeats a litany of things that should be changed at the agency while she demonstrates her ability to multi-task by slapping a clean diaper on the wee one.

Meanwhile Gabrielle is forced to steal another woman's paternity test, after the goth chick receptionist refused to fake one for her, because she needs to show jailed and ignorant Carlos something in order for him to believe that he is the baby's father, yet, despite the paternity results (and the fact that he believes one was conducted even though he didn't supply a DNA sample), he remains really really mad at Gabrielle for cheating on him with the yard boy.

Are Halle Berry and Jamie Foxx A Secret Item?

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 4:58 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 1 )

Still just a rumor but there's talk that Halle Berry and Jamie Foxx may have spent a quiet week together in Reno and another one in Palm Springs.

Don't know if that one is true, and she's already kerboshed any rumors of her and Bruce Willis hooking up. She told contractmusic.com that there definitely will not be any romance between her and co-star Bruce on the set of "Perfect Stranger" which begins shooting in 2006. "He had his chance. He was living next door to me for a while in Malibu."

One rumor I hope is true: that Halle plans to produce and star in a new biopic of Egyptian queen Nefertiti. If the project gets off the ground then it will be a killer role for Halle, and good casting since she does resemble the gorgeous Nefertiti.
, Meanwhile, Jamie, who's in Miami filming "Miami Vice" with Colin Farrell, told MTV News a few weeks ago that he’s been feeling some hateration since winning the Best Actor Oscar for "Ray" last winter: "Things have changed. I had a fight in a club the other night. I think what it is, sometimes you can't keep it real. I still come with the same thing I was doing, but I feel a little bit more hate. So I kinda be throwing my own parties - get you a hotel suite, get your own music."

Paul Walker Goes "Into the Blue" This Friday

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 4:24 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 10 )

Just three more days until the new Paul Walker flick "Into the Blue" is out in theaters and we get to feast again on his blue eyes ... and the rest of him.

Don't expect Shakespeare here, the movie is centered on Paul Walker's tight abs, with a bit of blue water, suspense, and Jessica Alba scampering around in a bikini thrown in. There's also something about shark-infested waters, finding the wreckage of a cargo plane at the bottom of the sea, millions of dollars in gold, and nasty bad guys who want their booty back. But mostly, the film is about Paul's abs. The movie could suck, but who cares? Like OMG, it's got Paul Walker!! While it will be a treat to see him (shirtless) again in a movie that doesn't revolve around a muscle car, Paul recently admitted he regrets passing on the huge paycheck of Fast and Furious 3 which starts filming next month with Bow Wow and Lucas Black.
