I have to say the amount of fabulous in this photo is awesome. I love Johnny Weir so much. Here he is with fellow gay icons Carson Kressley and Richie Rich. They were in NYC to support Skating Under the Stars.
Johnny has yet to say he is the gayest man alive even though he has admitted an obsession with fashion and handbags. He didn't do so well at this past World Championship but I don't care because somehow I'm obsessed.
Sasha Cohen was there but I don't really care. She's no fun....
Liz Hurley's newly minted father-in-law hates her. [Cele|bitchy] Entourage is back! Hooray! To celebrate, here's Emmanuelle Chriqui's nipple! [Jordan is Your Homeboy] Robert Rodriguez wants you to know that the fact that he was mounting Rose McGowan in her trailer during the filming of Grindhouse has nothing to do with his divorce. [Agent Bedhead] Keira Knightley is dating an Orlando Bloom lookalike. [Bree] Paris Hilton couldn't find anyone particularly controversial to have sex with this weekend, so she's opted to dye her hair brown for publicity instead. [Monica Monroe] Kelly Ripa gets her outtie ripped. [INO] Paris Hilton's lawyers would like bloggers to stop insinuating that their client has "loathsome diseases." Okay, that's fine. In the future, we can just refer to Paris herself as a loathsome disease. [DListed] Explain to me again why we need to photograph Lindsay Lohan's mother on the beach? [IBBB] Halle Berry doesn't want anyone talking about that one time she tried to kill herself, and she is going to remind you to stop talking about it until you stop or until her movie hits theaters, whichever may come first. [Defamer] King of Queens is still on? [SOW] Is LC dating American Idol contestant Chris Richardson? Those reality kids sure do stick together. [Girls Talkin' Smack] That Jenna Jameson could really stand to lose a few pounds. [The Bosh]
This afternoon, the paparazzi agency posted an open letter to AOL/Time Warner and all the folks behind TMZ.com on their blog. TMZ links to Mario Lavandeira's (aka Perez Hilton) blog automatically in their Hot Links section. While I adore TMZ, X17 makes the fair point that TMZ's parent company, AOL Time Warner, has, in other contexts, appeared to be very concerned about piracy, but their TMZ property doesn't seem concerned at all.
In fairness, TMZ links to a variety of blogs that use pirated images, present company included. Why is X17 focusing on Lavandeira? Well, probably because he's making more $$ off it than anyone else, and also because he's been asked repeatedly to strike a deal with X17 and refuses. Lord knows he can afford it; he's currently charging $1200/week for a Blogad at the bottom of the page. Ads at the top go for $9,000/week. He also manages to get his hands on their photos before they even finish distributing them to magazines -- I think he still probably has a friend or two at that celeb weekly he used to work for in Florida ... It's driving the kids at X17 fucking crazy.
Anyway, interesting open letter, reprinted after the jump without permission.

I have no idea why I'm running this story. Maybe because everyone else is running it. It's like the night before the Oscars, when everyone's running these "It's the Night Before the Oscars" stories and it doesn't really matter because the decisions have been made and are sitting in an envelope at PricewaterhouseCoopers and the only thing that could possibly make the whole mess interesting is if somehow Talladega Nights won Best Picture as a write-in candidate. I think everyone kind of knows Larry Birkhead is the daddy right now. Even Howard K. Stern is starting to backpedal. Personally, I hope something more exciting happens. I hope, like, the Broward County Medical Examiner happened to have, say, Matt Lauer's DNA on file, and the kid turns out to be his. I want it to be something like that.
Maybe we should liveblog the Dannielynn paternity revealing. Do you think the whole thing will be televised? Probably. Lars, you want this one?
Anyway, we'll get the results of the DNA testing tomorrow. We'll keep you posted around here. />

So folks laughed a bit when former superstar Brandy went from being a recording artist to judging "America's Got Talent." Now, after running over someone with her car, she is not doing that anymore.
Sharon Osborne has replaced Brandy as a judge on the show. Wow, Brandy's star sure fell fast. She got knocked up, fake married, engaged again to an NBA star, dumped, accidentially killed someone and now got fired. I remember when she and Ray J were hot stuff.
Hey maybe she she should go into the ...
Laura Bennett kicks it with Tim Gunn at the NYC Open Call for ProjRun. Hopefully it went better than the one in Los Angeles ......
So my parents have decided not to enjoy the beauty that is DVR, and have yet to fix their one working VCR so I sadly missed the show last night due to the Arizona Diamondbacks Opening Day.
I love this show and I really hope you do to. Next week I will be back with more coverage. If you missed last night as I did you missed...

Shilling for Corn Flakes. Ooh, that gives me an idea. She should do a cover of Tori Amos's "Cornflake Girl." It would be good publicity for Corn Flakes and for Tori's upcoming album! I don't know why it would be good for Leann but who cares? She's on a Corn Flakes box. It's all over.

This is painful to watch. Honestly, it hurts. Watch as Gawker editor Emily Gould gets ripped to shreds by Jimmy Kimmel, standing in for Larry King. (It doesn't seem to be embeddable, and I can't say I blame them. Props to Em for putting it up at all.) Jimmy takes her to task for their "Gawker Stalker" maps, which are probably the coolest fucking thing in the world, and which have been copied by plenty of different websites. One such map accused Kimmel of being drunk, when he was, in fact, walk...
Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis has fallen rapidly from "show us your tits" to "show us your hands," as the 34-year-old disgusting jackass was picked up at the Panama City airport this morning on a warrant seeking his arrest for for criminal contempt of court. Francis was supposed to turn himself in by noon on Thurdsay, but he totally didn't, because he's a spoiled piece of crap who thinks he doesn't have to play by anyone else's rules or, you know, respect anyone else under any circumstances. F...
Scarlett Jo (full last name withheld due to possible spelling errors) is maybe possibly dating someone new.
People Magazine is all over it!
Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds spent a busy weekend in New York City together. On Saturday night, the pair were seen getting close at the Manhattan restaurant Odeon. "They were in a good mood," says one eyewitness who saw them laughing and smiling. "They were definitely holding hands," says another observer. "They were a cute couple!"
Hey...
