Denise Richards Wants the Skinny on Charlie’s Wedding

Goddamn, it's a slow news day. And I'm inexplicably grumpy today. Also, I forgot to bring my laptop charger to work and my computer's dying. So I'm gonna keep this short: Denise Richards has apparently been calling OK! magazine offices in New York in an attempt to track down an advance copy of this week’s issue, which features Charlie's wedding on the cover. “She was feverishly trying to get her hands on a copy. She wanted to prepare herself for what she was going to see o...

Pleading the Fifth

I haven't been covering much of the R. Kelly trial around here, because I think the whole thing is disturbing, and I'd just as soon not give this guy any publicity for doing what he did, but this is an interesting little tidbit: A Chicago Sun-Times reporter, Jim DeRogatis, is refusing to answer questions on the stand at the trial, citing an Illinois law that governs reporters' rights and the First and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
DeRogatis read the statement more than a dozen times in response to questions, including whether he once made a copy of the sex tape at the center of the trial. Defense attorneys have said that copying the tape would have been a crime. After DeRogatis' 10 minutes on the stand, Judge Vincent Gaughan (GAWN) said reporters' privileges don't apply. But the judge ruled that DeRogatis doesn't have to testify based on his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.

Why George Dumped Sarah

A source close to George Clooney says he split up with Sarah Larson because she was getting too chatty with the press about their relationship. "George is very protective of his private life," says the source. "He started feeling like she had spoken too much about the relationship. She wanted the fame ... If he wanted to date an actress, he would. But he doesn't." Adds the source: "It was never very serious. He would fly her into town, but she always was living in Vegas." Eh, I kinda thin...

Jack Black Says Angelina Was “Relieved” That He Spilled News About Her Twins

"She was relieved," says the actor, when asked how Angie responded to his accidental decision to tell the world about her twinsies. "She wanted to spill the beans, but didn't know how to and I did it for her." As to why he didn't already know it was Hollywood's worst-kept secret? "It was my wife's fault ... She said, like it was common knowledge, 'Angelina's having twins' – because my wife is a triplet, and she was interested in that."...

Whoops!

Lily Allen looked so pretty on the red carpet before the Glamour awards. This is how she looked after. Said Lily on her MySpace blog the day after: “Oh dear. Last time I wrote here, I was defending my honour and dignity, explaining my innocence and also outrage at the press for insinuating my behaviour was embarrassing. This time I'm putting my hands up. I got very drunk last night, too drunk. It’s not cool getting that drunk. I feel awful and I have to thank my lit...

Twitter Badge is Back

Sorry it was down. I recently got a beta account with twitterfone.com, which is awesome because it does voice-transcription, so you can "tweet" by talking into your cell phone. It would be even more awesome if it ever had any idea what I was actually saying. Also, the voice-transcription tweets seem to somehow screw up the Flash code on the Twitter badge. And it took me like two full days to figure that out. So we're done twitterfoning for now. />...

I Am Currently Engaged in My Favorite Activity

I am eating junk food while watching other people exercise. Yes, it's true. The good folks at Lionsgate were kind enough to send me a complimentary copy of the Work Out workout DVD, One-on-One Training with Jackie. And so I'm sitting here with chocolate pudding and whip cream, watching Rebecca do push-ups. This is so empowering. I've never before watched an exercise DVD. However, I have now been working in the gym with my trainer for a month and a half, and I started a twice-a-week boo...
