Morning Scoop: Tara Reid Not Really So Psyched on This "Web 2.0" Thing

Ew! When I reported earlier that House of Carter's Aaron Carter got engaged to Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche, I was completely unaware that Peniche used to date Nick Carter, Aaron's older brother. That is just so wrong. Tom Green (remember him? no?) shatters his tibia while skateboarding. He plans to air film of the surgery on his online talk show, Tom Green Live, which certainly won't garner anywhere near the attention he received for his televised testicle surgery, or, you know, for his televised sh...

An Evil Beet Cock-Block

On August 3, my ever-vigilant mother sent me a link to a website she thought I'd find amusing, DontDateHimGirl.com. I did find it amusing, so much so that I blogged about it, reluctantly repeating names of some of the poor chaps who'd been blasted on the site. I hadn't thought much about that particular post until today, when I received this email, from one of the young men whose name and public blasting I'd re-printed in part:

Liquid Cocaine (and it’s legal!)

Redux Beverages in Las Vegas debuted its new beverage at NYC Fashion Week this week: "Cocaine."The beverage, targeted at party-goers (really? why?), is supposedly 3.5x stronger than Red Bull (its inventor, Jamey Kirby, says it is "350 percent stronger," because, you know, that sounds like more), and -- get this -- has a secret ingredient to imitate the mouth- and throat-numbing properties of actual cocaine.Their website looks pretty low-budg, which is fine, because you don't really need a complicated m...

Um…Nicole Richie’s Going to Die of Anorexia

So, guys, I know it's really funny to make the gimme jokes about the fact that she doesn't ever eat because of a furious and devastating mental illness that has taken complete control of her body, mind and life -- I mean, yeah, that's funny shit -- but, like, if we can be serious for a second, maybe someone who actually knows her might want to consider, you know, trying to save her life. Just a thought. ...

Bam Margera on Jessica Simpson: "Yeah, I Hit That"

Reports are trickling in that Howard Stern got a juicy confession out of Bam Margera on his radio program this morning. Bam says he did hook up with Employee of the Month star Jessica Simpson while she was still married to Nick Lachey. I didn't hear the show and I haven't seen the transcript, but Jessica was technically married to Nick for nearly eight months after the two were separated, and during that time period, Nick's many conquests were well-documented. So I'll reserve judgment for now.If you ha...

Random Rant: Misogyny at LAX

This has nothing to do with celebrities, celebutantes or gossip, so if you can't handle some off-topic ranting, please avert your eyes.Anyone who knows me knows I'm pretty far from a "femi-nazi" label. I mean, I write a gossip blog, for chrissake. I'm not one to hold picket signs or get petitions signed or, god forbid, write my senator. It's wonderful that there are people out there so invested in women's empowerment, and I respect and appreciate their efforts, but I am simply not among their ra...
