Julia Roberts to Star in Film Version of “Eat, Pray, Love”???

julia roberts india 220109 Hmmm, I don't know how I feel about this. It looks like they're getting close to making a film version of the totally amazing book Eat, Pray, Love ... with Julia Roberts in the lead role. Columbia Pictures is in negotiations to pick up the movie rights, released by Paramount Pictures, to the best-selling memoir "Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia." Columbia is also in the process of making deals with the actors and filmmakers already connected to the screen project. They include Julia Roberts, who would sta...

Lindsay Lohan Flying First Class to Drunksville

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson Pictures Photos Oh, Lindsay. Stories about you hiding liquor under your table at the club and fighting with Samantha just never get old. Oh, wait, except they totally do. On Friday night, Lohan accompanied Samantha Ronson to ESPN The Magazine’s NEXT Pre-Super Bowl bash and the two apparently had yet another tiff. Pop Tarts has been told that an angry-looking Lindsay hung out near Sam's D.J. booth chain-smoking until the early hours while shooting her dirty looks. According to our insider, Loha...

Quotables

Jessica Simpson Is Fat "I wish her nothing but the best and I hope she's happy -- whatever size that comes in." ZING! Nick Lachey weighs in -- ha ha no pun intended -- on the media frenzy surrounding his ex-wife Jessica Simpson's weight gain. Just to highlight exactly how big a deal this has become, our very own President made a comment on it during his Matt Lauer interview for the Super Bowl pre-game broadcast. The clip is below. Watch it now -- it'll be pulled soon. ...

Looks Like I Have to Keep My Day Job

90126X6 I love you guys, but, I gotta be honest -- I was planning on getting out of this gig pretty soon. You see, I had tens of thousands of dollars invested in death pools worldwide, betting on Amy Winehouse to be dead by the end of the year. I figured she'd kick the bucket pretty soon, and I could cash in and move to a Bahamian island. Actually, no, I'd probably move to Hawaii or something, since everyone just seems to die when they go near the Bahamas. Except for Amy Winehouse. While she's...

Kate Gosselin Is About to Explode with Jealousy

OMG!!!! I'm sorry, but every time I hear about this stupid woman in California who had fucking OCTUPLETS when she already had SIX CHILDREN, I just get this mental image of Kate Gosselin pacing around her brand new kitchen, furiously scrubbing every nook and cranny and muttering to herself about that damn octuplet lady, trying to steal her thunder. Also, at some point in her rant she will misuse a word and then blame Jon for it. The whole thing gives me such glee. Anyway, stupid octuplet lady wants $2M for media interviews and commercial sponsorship to help pay the cost of raising the children.
Although still confined to an LA hospital bed, she intends to talk to two influential television hosts this week — media mogul Oprah Winfrey, and Diane Sawyer, who presents Good Morning America. Her family has told agents she needs cash from deals such as nappy sponsorship — she will get through 250 a week in the next few months — and the agents will gauge public reaction to her story. Her earning power, though, could be diminished by a growing ethical and medical controversy. Experts believe that the unnamed fertility specialists who gave her in vitro fertilisation (IVF) should not have implanted so many embryos, and in choosing to carry all eight to term, Suleman ignored guidelines, risking both their health and her own.
I, for one, am in the "this shit is messed up" camp. While I completely respect her decision not to reduce, what the fuck was this woman doing having IVF in the first place when she already had six kids? She seems crazy -- not, like, Kate Gosselin's endearingly OCD crazy, but really genuinely crazy -- and I'm kind of worried for these kids, personally. I will be kind of irked if the media shells out that kind of money to chat with her. People should not be encouraged to have a billion babies for the media attention. />OMG!!!!

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin Cross That Line They Swore They Never Would

6991689chrismartin222009120437pm After swearing that they'd never walk a red carpet together, Gwyn and Chris are working on plans to appear together at the Oscars later this month.  And this has truly convinced me that all the "troubled marriage" rumors are false.  Because if you attend awards shows together, that is the number one sign of a strong union.  For real. I could never be a part of a Hollyweird couple.  How do you think this conversation went?  "Listen, I know we promised we'd never be photographed togeth...

Adnan And Sam Continue Their Attempts To Cash In

Okay.  Now it's making more sense.  As Soleil reported this weekend, Brit filed for and received restraining orders against "manager," Sam Lufti and ex-pap, Adnan Ghalib.  I knew there had to be more to this story since we haven't seen them in months and they seem to be non-factors at this point.. New legal documents that were just released, tell the rest of what went down.  Sam and Adnan hired a lawyer to contact Britney directly to offer to help her get her kids back.  Oh, in exchange for being the conservators of her estate:
You may not be aware of the fact that your civil rights were violated. I have developed a legal strategy for you that I am confident will turn everything around, and ultimately garner you full custody of your children within approximately 30 to 60 days. They will not be happy until they have denied you your freedom and milked you for your last dime. The custody case, as you know, is nothing more than a flat out extortion scheme, with your children being used as pawns. Your case will continue to spiral until they have denied you your freedom, your children and your assets. All I want is to see you win. I do not want anything in return and am willing to volunteer my time with you to see to it that you are successful in this custody case. I am not interested in publicity, money, or anything other than seeing you obtain full custody of your children. Please recognize that aside from some anxiety and depression, which are totally normal under these circumstances, there is nothing wrong with you, but that the court system routinely engages in character assassination to conceal its internal bias and to break you down. What they ultimately want is to get you into a conservatorship; at that point, your freedom will be denied, giving them the full opportunity to steal all of your money and to deny you any access to your children.
A hearing regarding the orders is scheduled for February 23rd.  Ghalib was served and Lufti, in hiding, has not been served yet. Like an STD, it's amazing how long a mistake can haunt you.

Why Do Lawyers Fuck Everything Up?

56297298britneyspears222009104131am Britney is set to kick off her Circus tour on March 3rd in her home state of Louisiana.  According to TMZ, Brit and K-Fed came up with a workable plan allowing their kids to be with her on tour.  Three residences were to be set up in New Jersey, New Orleans and Los Angeles, where the kids would stay.  In between shows, Spears would travel to the house to be with her boys.  In addition, she would pay K-Fed $4,000 a week and he would be set up with a separate residence in each location.

Madonna Continues To Cavort With Baby Jesus

90202L1 It looks like Madonna is still hanging with male model Jesus Luz; they were together this weekend in New York. Hey, remember when Madonna was married to Sean Penn and released her True Blue album?  That was 1986; I was a freshman in high school and Luz was a developing fetus.  It's ironic to think that the year that Papa Don't Preach was a #1 hit, her boyfriend was forming his internal organs.  Just thought I'd give you a little perspective. Doesn't he look like he misses processed food...

Remember When You Used To Celebrate A Touchdown By Chest Bumping and Ball Spiking?

Superbowl viewers in Tuscon got more than they bargained for last night.  With 2:48 left in the game, Comcast went a little nuts with the end zone celebrations.  And when I say "nuts", I mean nuts in the most literal sense. I mean, yeah, it was exciting that Arizona took the lead but wasn't that enough?  Did Tusconians need porn too? Click here for the totally NSFW or children, dick waving, so much more than a wardrobe malfunction video that Comcast customers in Tuscon were treated to in lieu of post touchdown commentary.  You'll have to scroll down a bit to see the video. />Superbowl viewers in Tuscon got more than they bargained for last night.  With 2:48 left in the game, Comcast went a little nuts with the end zone celebrations.  And when I say "nuts", I mean nuts in the most literal sense.

Guess Who’s Back?

Ranae Shrider Sexy Pictures Photos Um, so, I'm basically unreachable by MySpace these days. I never check those accounts. (My apologies to those of you who have friend requests pending.) So it's a relief to see that my old MySpace pal -- and Verne Troyer's former bedroom pal -- Ranae Shrider has finally joined Facebook and added me as a friend. Homegirl is NOT READY to settle for fifteen minutes of fame. She is going to STAY IN OUR FACES, beyotch. Ranae posted a shitload of new photos and re-started her PR machine tod...

Still Together?

56619093celeb_bowl212009105234pm They've been dogged by a lot of break-up rumors lately, but Gossip Girl co-stars (and lovers?) Blake Lively and Penn Badgley didn't seem to mind each other's company at the DirectTV Celebrity Beach Bowl in St. Petersberg, Florida on Sunday. I'm rooting for those crazy kids!! Also there: Brody Jenner and his girlfriend, Playmate Jayde Nicole, Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon, Chace Crawford, Joel and Benji Madden, and Christian Slater. But did everyone watch Puppy Bowl????
