Nicole Kidman: Drinking Backstage at the Oscars?

nicole_oscar.jpg From the New York Post's Cindy Adams: Boozing backstage during the Oscarcast is a no-no. But if you're pregnant Nicole Kidman it's a yes-yes. She wanted white wine. She got it. I have a really hard time believing this is true, especially since Nicole has wanted to get pregnant for so long, and hubby Keith Urban has struggled with alcoholism forever, but, man, it'd be pretty damn gutsy of the Post to print something like this if they weren't sure. Normally you run info like that as an ob...

Who, Me? Oh, I Just Happened to Be in the Neighborhood, So I Thought I’d Have Lunch at the Ivy!

phoebe_ivy.jpg Who the fuck is Phoebe Price? It is my whole fucking job to know who these people are, and I cannot for the life of me understand why people know or care about Phoebe Price. I've basically avoided writing about her in the past, but I think it's time we got to the bottom of this. Who is she? I've actually been at events with her. I've personally watched her whore it up on the red carpet and inside assorted parties, and I still have no idea who she is. She's not pretty. She doesn't have ...

Oh, Shut Up and Go to High School, Ali Lohan

ali_lohan.jpg I guess 14-year-old Ali Lohan thinks she's "making a name for herself." Which is totally true, if by "making a name for herself" she means "being Lindsay Lohan's little sister." Ali's being featured in the new issue of Teen Vogue -- which you should buy only because Blake Lively's on the cover -- and boy does she have some disturbing things to say. Here's what she has to say about her impending doom fame: I want it so bad. So bad you don't even know. And now, it's actually h...

Writers Are Lazy Bastards

chris_robinson.jpg Maxim magazine has issued a formal apology to the Black Crowes after printing a dismal review of their upcoming album, written by a writer who hadn't heard the entire album. Maxim gave the Crowes' new album, Warpaint, a rating of two-and-a-half stars out of five. The band -- fronted by Kate Hudson's ex-husband, Chris Robinson -- flipped out, and posted on their website that the writer certainly could not have heard the whole album, as advance copies have not yet been released. Th...

Can You Go to Jail for a Misdemeanor?

mischa_ivy.jpg Please, please say you can. How about four? Mischa Barton was slapped with four misdemeanors on Tuesday, stemming from her DUI arrest late last year. Mischa was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving while having a 0.08 percent or higher blood alcohol level, driving without a valid license and possession of marijuana (28.5 grams or less). She's scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday. ...

Pamela Anderson Seeks Annulment

pam3.jpg So I ran into an old high-school classmate at a party a couple of months ago. I hadn't really seen her since high school. She'd married her high-school sweetheart after nearly a decade of dating, but the marriage itself was short-lived; they separated after only two months, and decided to make the split permanent soon after. She'd ended up getting an annulment just weeks before I saw her, and, after downing an entire flask of vodka in one swig (very impressive), she bemoaned the absence of a sp...

In Case You Missed It

Check out Janet Jackson performing "Feedback" on Good Morning America. This is, like, the most boring song ever. The only good part comes at 2:30 when she sings the line "My swagger's serious / I'm heavy like a first-day period." Seriously, I will listen to this song over and over again just for that line. Will someone graduating high school this year please make that their senior yearbook quote? Please? For me? I totally would have done it for you. If I'd ever been a senior in high school. Which I wasn't. Because I dropped out after sophomore year. And look at me now, motherfuckers!!! You all thought I'd end up flipping burgers, but instead I run a celebrity gossip blog whose primary source of traffic is people searching for "Lindsay Lohan naked" on Google Image search. So put that in your fancy high-school-graduate pipe and smoke it. But I digress. Also, I have to hand it to Janet: that outfit is a phenomenal I'm-hiding-the-weight-gain ensemble. Jessica Simpson's stylists should take note. /> Check out Janet Jackson performing "Feedback" on Good Morning America. This is, like, the most boring song ever.

You Know It’s a Slow News Day When I’m Writing About Naomi Campbell’s Cyst

naomi.jpg Honestly I had hoped to avoid bringing you this story -- it bores me to my core -- but there's really not much else going on today, so the gossip world has hurled itself into this Naomi-Campbell-has-a-cyst story. Yes, it's true. Naomi Campbell had a cyst, and it's been removed. The American Heritage Dictionary defines "cyst" as "an abnormal membranous sac containing a gaseous, liquid, or semisolid substance." I know you guys are thinking the same thing I am: They took out Naomi Campbell's entire brain? "I cannot reveal what Naomi had, nor...
