Mischa Barton Can’t Get Her Shit Together

Everyone's a damn alcoholic today. Mischa "DUI" Barton can't seem to show up for any of the promotional events for her new film, You and I, which premiered at Cannes. She lives in France now, and she still didn't make it to any of the promotions. She's supposed to be doing interviews in London right now, but she's totally MIA. Says the film's director: "She hasn't pulled out of interviews, she's pulled out of everything . . . Her room is here, she is here, but trying to get the two toget...

Kirsten Dunst Is “Wobbly”

Hey, remember when Kirsten Dunst was all like "I don't have a drinking problem. I went to a drug and alcohol rehab for depression" and I was all like "Yes and Samantha Ronson's on the short list to be the next U.S. Drug Czar"? No, really, I surmised that Kirsten was lying to avoid a plethora of items in the press when she decided to go out and get drunk in public. Too late. The NY Post is already reporting the Kirsten was "wobbly" at an NYC bar over the weekend. Her rep says that sh...

Owen Wilson Is Not Handling This Kate/Lance Thing Very Well

I don't think Kate Hudson's a bad person, but she is definitely Owen Wilson poison. Since Kate and Owen broke up (again) and she's taken up, quite publicly, with Lance Armstrong, Owen's been having a rough time. He was spotted partying at a bar in Philadelphia (where he's filming Marley & Me with Jennifer Aniston) recently. "Owen looked pretty upset," says a source. "He was drinking and sulking until last call." Owen, baby. You know you shouldn't be drinking. Get your ass sober again a...

Bill Murray’s Wife Files for Divorce

The comedian's wife has filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage. She claims Bill has a marijuana and alcohol addiction, and has been abusive to her. An attorney for Bill says the actor is deeply saddened by the breakup and is committed to the best interests of the couple's four children. As you may recall, Mr. Murray ran into some problems in Sweden last year for a drunken incident with a golf cart. Anyone else smell an upcoming rehab stint for Billy Boy?...

Things That Are Good: NY to Recognize Gay Marriage

It's not exactly legalization, but it sure is a step in the right direction. NY Governor David Paterson instructed state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states and countries where they are legal. The memo from Governor Paterson informed state agencies that failing to recognize gay marriages would violate New York's human rights law. We keep gaining momentum on this issue! Hooray! />...

It’s Gonna Take More Than a Puppy, Lindsay

Lindsay Lohan thinks she can trick us all into believing she's sweet and innocent by carrying an adorable puppy around NYC. It didn't work for Paris, Linds, and it's not gonna work for you. Speaking of which: where is Paris? Normally you can't go thirteen seconds without seeing her lovely mug all over the Internet, but the last time I ran a picture of her was over a week ago. And it's not because I'm on some sort of Paris boycott. It's just because there haven't been any pictures of her....

My Evening

First: Blind date with guy my trainer set me up. We meet at a German-style pub and share a plate of potato pancakes with applesauce. He's cute and he's sweet and he's funny, but he's not my type in a lot of ways. We have a nice chat, and it's nowhere near disastrous. Although I have no interest in seeing him romantically again, I somehow am disappointed when he has no interest in seeing me romantically again. Like, shouldn't every guy be into me, even if I'm not into him? He says he'll call me ...
