Paris Hilton and Benji Madden were once again on the town in LA last night, stopping by Goa nightclub for some pre-weekend celebrating. I'd call them 'the happy couple,' but Paris doesn't look like she fits that description here.
And, of course, the festivities were filmed by MTV for Paris' new reality show. On her MySpace blog, Paris, who's obviously no English major, talked about the contestants, saying 'every one of the contestants is very special in there own way' and that she really enjoyed taking the gang to (bars) in Las Vegas and Japan saying 'it was quite a site.'
It's too bad they don't have 'idiot check' as well as spell check on those computers. I think the contestants aren't the only ones who are 'special.'
Geez, they should have called this show 'I'm Paris Hilton's Bar Crawl Buddy' - but at least it's proving what I pretty much thought all along, to be Paris' friend, you've gotta be drunk.
Last night Heidi and Spencer went out to dinner at the Palms Restaurant in West Hollywood. These are photos of them leaving, and yes it is still daylight. They must have gone out for the early bird special like a couple of cute senior citizens.
Heidi wore a shirt that read, "I want more privacy."
But privacy won't be part of Heidi's life for at least a little while, because earlier this week she told MTV programming big-wig Tony DiSanto that the couple would like to get married on-camera, and he is jumping at the opportunity.
According to Speidi's latest magazine cover story, they want a small wedding in the Virgin Islands with catering by Wolfgang Puck's restaurant, Jason of Beverly Hills watches for the guests, and performances by both U2 and of course, Miss Heidi herself.
The TV special could be great for Heidi and Spence's entertainment careers, but I think Heidi will be quite disappointed when she finds herself with even less privacy.
Maybe her desire for more private time will speed up the wedding plans. Heidi is eager for the day when she can choke down that wedding cake, toss the bouquet and get her happily-ever-after on with fiance Spencer.
The awesome Robert Downey Jr. and his lucky wife Susan (love the dress) were among the celebrities on hand last night to honor actor/director Warren Beatty at the The 36th Annual AFI Life Achievement Award Ceremony, held at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.
With the success of 'Iron Man,' Robert has been getting a lot of scripts coming his way, including the Guy Ritchie-helmed Sherlock Holmes film - which is based on the graphic novel, not the books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - and the biopic about Playboy founder Hugh Hefner (who also happened to be at the ceremony last night) which is sure to be ruined directed by Brett Ratner.
Oh, and of course there's 'Iron Man 2,' which is being rushed into production for an April 2010 release - much to the dismay of director Jon Favreau, who's (understandably) concerned because as he posted on his blog, 'we have no script, story or even writers hired yet. This genre of movie is best when it is done thoughtfully and with plenty of preparation.'
With all of the offers on the table for RDJ, all I have to say is it's about time. The more Robert Downey Jr. in my life, the better.
Paris Hilton took her potential BFF's out last night to Thursday hotspot Goa. Even if you didn't read what she wrote in her blog, you can now see for yourself that Paris' friends are just as "special" as one would hope.
One girl managed to flip off the photogs with a look of pure crazy on her face. How very early Nicole Richie of her.
Personally, I have my money on the chick giving the hand to the paps.
Being a blonde myself, I generally root for the towheads. Unfortunately the blonde sitting to the left of Paris looks like she's already making eyes at Paris' man Benji.
Bitch better watch herself if Paris finds out -- I think getting booted out of the competition would be the least of her worries after crossing the original celebutante.
Sheesh! She was seemingly gone forever but all of a sudden Sandra Bullock is everywhere. The actress, whose Tybee Island, Georgia home is rumored to be the site of Johnny Depp's upcoming nuptials to Vanessa Paradis, was hard at work on the set of 'All About Steve' in LA yesterday.
She was just getting to gaze at the gorgeous Ryan Reynolds on 'The Proposal' a few weeks ago and now she's working on another flick. Guess the rising gas costs have truly gotten to everybody.
According to IMDb, the story of 'Steve' is this: 'Convinced that a CNN cameraman (played by 'Alias' Bradley Cooper) is her true love, an eccentric crossword puzzler (Bullock) trails him as he travels all over the country, hoping to convince him that they belong together.'
That's high concept, isn't it? The weird part is that I was once in love with a CNN cameraman too - for real. I don't do crosswords though.
Every time I see Sandra in these red boots, I keep thinking of that episode of 'How I Met Your Mother', but I think the flick's director - wearing them as some sort of wacky, on-set joke - pulls them off better than she does.
I've heard of directors and film crews getting naked to make actresses more comfortable when they have to shoot nude scenes, but this is a new one to me.
Since I love all things 'Showgirls' and am unashamed to admit it, I was delighted to see these pictures of Nomi Malone herself, Elizabeth Berkeley stopping by an ATM in Beverly Hills to pick up some dough.
Fresh off of her hosting duties for Bravo's 'Step It Up and Dance' - which was one of my guilty pleasures of the past few months - Elizabeth has signed on for a role in the completely unnecessary sequel to 'Donnie Darko.'
In the upcoming 'S. Darko', Nomi plays 'a speed freak-turned-Jesus freak whose sentiments about ridding the world of its exponential sin are rivaled only by her infatuation with her dreamy pastor.'
Ummm....
I think she should just play Nomi in every project she does from now on - and if they bring back 'Step It Up' for another season (oh please, oh please) they can replace that corny 'last dance' and have Liz push the eliminated dancers down a flight of stairs. I'd definitely watch that.
As we look at today's pretty pictures of a renowned Hollywood actress and her 2-year-old daughter running errands, let's play a little game.
It's called 'Count the Ways you Can Tell Jennifer Garner was Rich before she got Famous.' I'll go first:
- Conservative, neutral button-up sweater
- Knee-length, semi-pleated skirt
- Simple diamond and gold necklace
- The way she holds her purse
- She lives in Brentwood.
Brentwood is the neighborhood where rich people live when they want to consider themselves 'environmentally conscious,' smart, and 'above' the Hollywood frivol. Other Brentwood yuppies include Tobey Maguire, Nicole Kidman, Harrison Ford, Conan O'Brien, and The Dixie Chicks.
Celebrities who live in Brentwood like to talk a lot about maintaining their 'personal lives' and avoiding 'gaudy Hollywood parties.'
They also love charity (or at least the illusion of it).
The latest in Jen's and her 'politically active' husband Ben Affleck's rich-and-important-but-totally-down-to-earth campaign is hosting a charity gala for her hometown college, University of Virginia. And not just because they have been sending her annual 'will you please donate your riches?' letters for the past 20 years. She really cares.
For the record, I haven't found any actual proof that Jen Garner was rich growing up. But I did stumble upon the discovery that she began ballet lessons at age three, which is just as good.
First off, bragging. See that photo of pregnant Jamie Lynn plastered across the latest issue of Star Magazine? Yeah, we did that. Us. Pacific Coast News. We took that photo. Cos we're just that cool. Don't be jealous. Just keep coming back for the goods.
Secondly, the story. The wedding between Jamie Lynn Spears and baby daddy Casey Aldridge is canceled, according to Star, because they are starting to hate each other already.
'Jamie Lynn and Casey have been fighting non-stop about everything,
from what to name the baby to what to eat for dinner," a source tells Star. "And now she's called off their wedding plans.'
Dude, Jamie Lynn. Nice save! If you and the mister are fighting this much before the baby's been born, before the post-wedding blues, before the sex stops completely - you'd be shooting at each other like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs. Smith by the six-month mark. Minus the whole happy ending. That only happened because it's a movie. Luckily you are learning this lesson now, a few months earlier than your big sister. Because dreams don't always come true. Especially when they entail a 17-year old, a 19-year old, a baby, and the Louisiana bayou.
Lindsay Lohan took a break on the set of her latest comedy 'Labor Pains' in Sherman Oaks yesterday to grab a bite to eat.
Someone finally gave Linds a job. I'll bet she pushed up the start date so the producers wouldn't have time to change their minds.
In the comedy, LiLo plays a woman who pretends to be pregnant in order to keep her job. I'd like to know what kind of line of work wants to keep pregnant women around - especially with the rising costs of insurance. Must be a fantasy film.
Is it just me, or does this sound like it's got 'straight to DVD' written all over it?
Check out the footage of Lindsay running around on set, getting massaged by her 'security guard,' and receiving a visit from her lesbian girlfriend:
