Celebrity Weasel

I swear I have a ton of Really Important Things To Say ™, but right now all I can think about is that it’s Friday and in a few hours I’ll be having drinks and dinner with one of my bestest friends. So all you get is this link list. Again. I know, I know, bad Robyn. Where’s the commentary, yo?!

First Lindsay went to rehab, then Paris went to jail. Now Britney’s in a psych ward. But Eva Mendes proves all things old are new again, by checking into Cirque Lodge for an undisclosed issue. Someone wants to be like Lindsay when she grows up! (source: D Listed)

What better way to celebrate your boyfriend’s tv show anniversary than to make a video with Matt Damon? In Sarah Silverman’s opinion? None. (source: Just Jared)

Freaking Brilliant!! Mollygood claims Lindsay Lohan has stepped in to save Starbucks in Britney’s absence! I love it!

Jennifer Lopez is in the hospital birthing her twins? Nope! Turns out she’s in New York bikini shopping. Someone’s on the post-birth lipo plan for sure!

According to Courtney Love, there is a short list of celebs who are “cool enough” to have been strapped to a gurney. That list is herself, Marilyn Monroe and one Britney Spears. Marilyn is rolling over in her grave at the comparison that makes! (source: D Listed)

Britney’s still in the hospital, and it looks like at least one of the people around her has her best interests in mind: her psychiatrist. (source: People)

In happier news, Julianna Margulies gave birth to a little boy named Kieran! Congratulations to the new mom! (source: Us Magazine)

Jessica Alba’s been talking up a storm on her promotional tour for The Eye recently. Everything from her pregnancy boobs (she loves them!) to the paparazzi (she hates them!) have been fair game. (source: Cele|bitchy)

Amy Winehouse’s detox isn’t going so well for her, it would seem. She got so dehydrated during the detox process that she had to be admitted to a hospital and put on a fluids drip! (source: D Listed)

It’s not a happy time for Scientolgoy, that’s for sure. First there’s “anonymous”, and now they’re getting mysterious white powder packages delivered! (source: Mollygood)

Katie Holmes is FINALLY denying the rumors that Chris Klein is truly Suri’s daddy. I still think he is. (source: Tom Cruise Watch)

Now that Britney’s back in the psych ward again and Jamie Lynne is five months pregnant, you’d think the gossip rags and blogs would be spending a lot of time tearing into Lynne Spears. But for some reason, it’s not the case. Instead, people are COMING TO HER DEFENSE! Lynne claims to be super concerned about both her daughters, and it looks like she’s got some people convinced.

“Britney’s on my mind day and night. She never leaves my thoughts.� Nor does Jamie Lynn, who’s 16 and nearly five months pregnant. “Jamie Lynn’s my baby,� Lynne confided. “I’m doing my best. I’m doing as well as can be expected.�
“I love Britney dearly,� Lynne tells Life & Style. “I want nothing more than to protect her and make everything all right for her.� Told that people still believe she’s a good mother, Lynne managed a smile and replied, “Thank you. That means a lot right now with everything that’s happening.�

I’m just not on the bandwagon yet. I still look at Lynne Spears and see a mother who has pimped her daughters out to the highest bidder from a young age (Jamie Lynne even younger than Britney), and when they start to react to the constant exposure (and in some cases paparazzi-stalking!) in just about the only way they can, she’s upset and confused and worried for them.

Really?!?! Anyone could tell you that the amount of exposure she’s forced on her “babies” they’d crack eventually. Unfortunately for Jamie Lynn, that’s happened much earlier than with Britney. And unfortunately for Britney’s babies, they’ve gotten dragged in.

Maybe someday I’ll feel more sympathy for Mama Spears, but for now, I’ll stick to quietly judging.

Does anyone else find this tee shirt funny? It’s about not tanning, saving your skin (and yourself) from cancer. And it’s Victoria Beckham. Really Posh???

Amy Winehouse is finally in rehab, and is supposedly doing just peachy, thankyouverymuch. I’m betting there’s going to be a Lohan-style crash and burn as soon as she gets out.

Now that the pictures from the SAG Awards pretty much gave up the pregnancy bump for Angie and Brad, is there anything else to talk about?

Paula Abdul might not be performing live at the Super Bowl after all. Poor us, not getting to see her drunk ass trying to dance and sing!

* It looks like things are starting to go back to normal for Dennis Quaid, his wife Kimberly Buffington, and their twins. The parents were spotted out shopping, and with their babes home safe with them after their hospital scare, you can bet those two are buying their kids whatever they want! I know I would be if my kids had almost died! (source: Flynet Online)

* It looksl like troubles still surround Lindsay Lohan, despite her being linked recently to Brody Jenner. Her rumored girlfriend has moved out of their shared home, and now Lindsay is staying in yet another hotel, this time with a sober companion in the next room. She may be getting a new roomate soon, though, so the lesbian rumors will surface yet again I’m sure. She’s also reportedly so broke she’s put herself on a $1k a day shopping budget. Which is still more than $300k a year, just for shopping. Poor little Lindsay! I’d love to find out that she’s really still sober, not sleeping around at all, and has actually become a normal person. That all this drama is simply paparazzi-created. Ah, per chance to dream! (source: Cele|bitchy)

* Now that Nicole Richie has dropper her baby weight in record time (just two short weeks!), she’s already out partying it up again! Rumors are flying that she tried to “borrow” several friends’ kids to practice parenting because she was so scared to be a mommy, but I don’t believe it. If she was that scared, she’d never look so normal haning out with her step-siblings, and a bit of fear is normal for every parent. (source: Cele|bitchy)

I think it’s just going to be one of “those” gossip weeks. The ones you look back on in awe. First, the sad news of Heath Ledger dying, and now this.

A teenager has been arrested after trying to hijack a plane flying from LA to Nashville, wanting to crash the plane into a Hannah Montana concert.

I feel really bad for this kid, but there’s this huge part of me that’s laughing, and I hate to admit it. Crashing a plane into a HANNAH MONTANA CONCERT??? Of all the places you wanted to crash a plane, go down in a firey rage, Hannah Montana?

Plus, the boy was sixteen, and I didn’t think anyone but eight year old girls like my niece cared about Hannah Montana. Poor thing.

By now most of us know the sad news that Heath Ledger was found dead in his NYC apartment yesterday afternoon. While details are still sketchy, and rumors are already starting to fly, what we do know is this.

Heath, 28, died leaving behind a world that loved him. He is surivived by his two-year-old daughter Matilda (with ex-fiance Michelle Williams), and his family had the unfortunate experience of finding out about this thanks to the media.

He was an amazing actor, taking on challenges from the beginning, and defying stereotypes. A teen hearthrob thanks to movies like “10 Things I Hate About You” and “A Knight’s Tale”, Heath stretched our views of him with roles such as his most well-known, Ennis in “Brokeback Mountain”. He had just finished filming “Dark Knight” and was back and forth to London filming “The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus”.

And so we are here, writing an obituary of sorts, still in shock that this is even real. He definitely wasn’t one of the celebrities you would have thought twice about dying young. There are already others in the 451 network that are writing their thoughts on this (Brad Pitt Watch has a great statement up), and I’m obviously throwing in my feelings now. And barring any shocking new news regarding his death, I’m going to try to stay away from the media hoopla that will inevitably follow. I will post no pictures from the funeral, as that is a private time for family and friends.

Feel free to jump in on this discussion in the comments, however, adding news as it becomes available. If there’s enough of it, I’ll do another summary post tomorrow. For now, enjoy some photos from Heath’s life.

So, I go on vacation for a few days, and discover that much to my dismay, chalets on the side of ski slopes don’t always have internet access!! So I didn’t get to post for awhile. Instead of trying to write a bunch of posts to catch up, here’s a huge list of all the things I missed.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is just a rumor, and there’s not a ring of truth to it, but I love it, so I’m sharing. Rumor has it Pete Doherty has been borrowing his girlfriend’s bras to wear while he goes out running, because his tee shirts are chaffing his nipples! Apparently in an effort to keep off drugs he’s taken up running, and all is going well except for his man-boobs getting in the way.

Seriously?

I know at least one dude who has complained of chaffing nipples during longer runs (this is a guy who runs half marathons), but he bought some stuff that looks like a deoderant stick and rubbed it on his chest, and all was good. He DEFINITELY didn’t wear his girlfriend’s bra while running!

Sounds to me like someone’s imagination go the better of them! But I’d love it if Pete were running, getting healthy. Hopefully at least that part of this story is true!

Just days after announcing the entire cast of HSM will return for a third installment, Zac Effron was rushed to the hospital to have his appendix removed! He’s reportedly doing just fine now, however, and will hopefully be back to filming something soon.

Matthew McConaughey announced last night on his website that his girlfriend Camila Alves is three months pregnant! Damn you woman! Now Matthew might just officially be off the market.

Here’s what he had to say:

“My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together … It’s 3 months growin’ in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far. We are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God, and so excited for the adventure that will come in raising this child, being mother and a father, and shepherding him or her through this life.�

Someone needs to start handing out condoms to celebs, because there’s some sort of pregnancy epidemic happening lately. Congrats are definitely in order to the happy couple, although I’m sure more than a few disgruntled stalkers are going to have a thing or two to say about Matthew becoming a father.

Brad Renfro, best known for his role in “Apt Pupil” was found dead last night in his LA home. While the cause of death has not been released, it is known that Brad had a history of drug use. I hope it wasn’t an OD. Brad just finished filming “The Informers” with Winona Ryder, Billy Bob Thorton and Kim Basinger.

I love it when celebs do good things out of the public eye. It’s so much easier to trust! And in the case of Johnny Depp, there have been several that have just come to light.

Last may his daughter Lily Rose was treated at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital for E. coli blood poisoning, and spent nine days recovering there. Depp is so happy his daughter is healthy, he’s been giving back to the hospital ever since!

Last November (the 29th to be exacty) Depp spent four hours reading stories in the children’s ward, dressed as Jack Sparrow, after having his costume flown over to London from Hollywood! He invited five of the doctors and nurses to attend the London premiere of Sweeney Todd (presumably these were the doctors and nurses that helped his daughter).

The kicker, however? Depp and longtime partner Vanessa Paradis donated $1M to the hospital, with Disney donating another $10M. The hospital needs to raise $170M over the next five years, in order to re-develop the hospital (which is in need of repair and revamping), so these donations will go a long way.

Johnny Depp, Vanessa Paradis, Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney

I love this story! Apparently 21-year-old Lynsey Nordstrom was hired by The New York Post to head to the Giants/Cowboys game, sit on the 50 yard line, and try to get Romo to screw up. Why Lynsey? She’s a Jessica Simpson look-alike. That’s her in the picture above, posing like Jess wearing a jersey similar to the one Jess wore when she attended a Cowboys game earlier in the football season.

We don’t know whether Tony saw her in the stands, but we do know the Cowboys lost, and Romo didn’t play his best. Does it just take a hint of Jessica to throw a game? I’m betting it’s just coincidence, but the whole thing is hilarious!
