The "Saddam" Look is Out with Pierce Brosnan

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 5:47 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Actor Pierce Brosnan has admitted that being compared to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was all the inspiration he needed to decide it was time to lose the grey beard. The actor said that while he was rather fond of his beard, it was not worth keeping if he reminded people of the dictator. "It seemed like a good choice about three months ago but I've been living with it now and I look more like - so I've been told - Saddam Hussein... or Kentucky Fried Chicken (Colonel Sanders)," Contactmusic quoted him as saying. Now if someone would just talk to Mel Gibson about HIS Saddam beard ...

Gwyneth Paltrow Calls in the Ghostbusters

Gwyneth Paltrow pic Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is rumored to have taken Madonna's advice and called in a team of ghostbusters to toss some ghosts living in her home out on their ethereal asses.

The actress was reportedly advised by her singer friend to contact a rabbi at the local London Kabbalah center who would send in the ghostie wranglers. In the ceremony, ten Kabbalah followers are supposed to read a series of psalms and blow a ram's horn as part of the exorcism.

Gwyneth, who is pregnant, and her husband Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, reportedly fear there is "bad energy" infestating their mansion in Belsize Park, North West London, and are blaming the spooks for causing the difficulties she is having in her second pregnancy.

The Tori Spelling Way: Currently Married AND Engaged

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 6:14 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Tori Spelling pic Tori Spelling, who is still married to husband Charlie Shanian, has publicly announced her engagement to actor Dean McDermott.

Both People and US Magazine are reporting that Charlie proposed to Tori on Christmas Eve in Toronto. But wait! He's still married too!

It's the latest rage to be engaged in Hollywood (stars don't "date"), especially if the couple has only known each other for a few weeks. Tori and Charlie actually met a year ago but it's odd that they didn't wait until their respective divorces are final. Charlie filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Mary Jo Eustace, in September, and Tori, the former "Beverly Hills 90210" star, filed for her divorce in October, some oh, 86 days ago.

She must be over the painful breakup of her marriage by now.

Ashley Snubs Lagerfield; He Likes Lindsay Better Anyway

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 6:21 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 2 )

Ashley Olsen pic She may have her own fashion line but Ashley Olsen will probably regret pissing off legendary fashionista Karl Lagerfeld. The pint-size Ashley was not only unfashionably late to the Chanel New York-Paris show at his flagship store in New York, but then she failed to recognize him.

According to the New York Post, the show was held up for 30 minutes while waiting for the actress, who had to view the rest of the show from backstage when she arrived and was not seated in front with other celebs such as Lindsay Lohan and Claire Danes.

But that was only the beginning, PageSix reported. Mr. Lagerfeld did try to talk to Ashley but she "cringed away from him like he was a stalker. Her person had to tell her who he was, but he had already whispered something nasty in French about her and was very mad." And, the source added, he refused to speak to her after that.

Janet Jackson Plays Bongos on her Butt

You've been looking all over the net for it and here it is. Janet Jackson sunbathing nude, slapping her flanks like their bongos (girl's got the rhythm nation), shot by a cameraman who looks to be about six feet away, just outside the fence. I mean, if he were any closer to her he coulda rubbed the suntan lotion on her bum. How is it possible that she didn't see him? Once glance up and she's looking straight at the lens!

Renee May Kill Two Marriages This Year ...

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 6:44 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 2 )

Renne and Jack Newly separated from her cowboy hat wearin' country singer/husband, Renee Zellweger is now crying on the shoulder of ex-beau Jack White, much to the displeasure of his currently wife of 3 months.

The White Stripes frontman married British model Karen Elson ...in a canoe ... in the Amazon ... in June, but summer's over now, and he apparently flew in immediately to comfort Renee after her brief marriage to Kenny Chesney went kaput. The reason sited on Renee's annulment papers is "fraud," whatever that means. She may have found out he was bald under that black hat that's been glued on for 10 years, or that the gay rumors are true ... or that she prefers White Stripes music. Whatever.

A source told Britain's Daily Star that Jack's current wife needs comforting herself: "Karen is absolutely horrified. Jack dropped everything to be by Renee's side, and Karen only found out after he'd left. She knows that although Jack is very fond of her she'll never measure up to Renee. And she's terrified he will rekindle his romance with her."

Ashton Blows Stuff Up. Avril Gets Weepy

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 11:29 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 3 )

Avril Lavigne photo Singer Avril Lavigne became the latest victim of prankmeister Ashton Kutcher who "Punk'd" her after she returned to a parking garage to get her car. While she was gone, the Punk'd people posted a fake "Reserved" sign and blocked her car in with another vehicle.

When she returned, she complained to the garage attendant about being blocked in and was then asked by the man to assist him in moving the car. (First clue of a set-up.) Natch, the other vehicle mysteriously rolls out of control, hits a transformer -- which catches on fire -- then set a motorcyle on fire.

So yada yada, an upset Lavigne is yelled at by the owners of the bike and the car, then Kutcher does his jack-in-the-box pop-up act to tell her she's been punk'd, and she bursts into tears.

This is getting creepy. When is Ashton gonna get tired of this act? May his Kaballah Karma come back around to bite him in the ass.

Too Posh For Reading: Victoria Beckham is No Book Slut

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 10:31 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 0 )

Victoria Beckham pic The alter-ego of Posh Spice has just fessed up to a Spanish journalist that she doesn't read books. The Daily Mail claims that Victoria Beckham said: "I haven't read a book in my life. I haven't got enough time. I prefer to listen to music, although I do love fashion magazines."

I guess that means she hasn't even read her own autobiography "Learning to Fly", or her husband David Beckham's two autobiographies "My World" and "My Side".

So any mention of characters like Lord Voldemort, Iago, Jay Gatsby, Holden Caulfield, Atticus Finch, Marlow, SamnEric, Raskolnikov, Shylock, Big Nurse, Holly Golightly, or Humbert Humbert would go right over her head? Ten points if you got that last one.
