Petra Nemcova and Roberto Cavalli get a little too close for comfort (well, at least my comfort) at a Halloween party at Cipriani.
Cavalli recently took it upon himself to announce Jennifer Lopez's pregnancy. I'm sure Petra was just trying to comfort him.

The WGA's contract expired at midnight tonight, and they were unable to agree on a new contract.
Basically, writers want more money from DVD and Internet sales, and the studios don't want to give them that.
The writers are meeting at the LA Convention Center on Thursday night to discuss their next move, which may be a strike.
"The writers guild has two weapons," says an LA entertainment lawyer. "One is a strike, the other is the threat of a strike. It has no reason to toss that weapon away without using it for a bit."
If they do strike, the programming that would be most impacted is talk shows, which will probably have to go to reruns until this is all worked out.
Okay. Now you can talk about this with your coworkers today and sound like you're so L.A.

We don't cover much industry news around here, but, for those of you who care, the Writers Guild of America is threatening to go on strike as of midnight tonight if they cannot resolve their contract dispute with the major studios.
This probably won't impact reality TV shows, as their "writers" are not usually WGA members, but it will impact scripted television and talk shows (Is Jay Leno funny without writers? We'll find out!). Most of the films for 2008 and 2009 release have already been scripted, so the impact on film will be minimal for now.
I'd just like to state, once again, for the record, if this strike happens: I AM READY AND WILLING TO WRITE FOR TELEVISION! SERIOUSLY! SIGN ME THE FUCK UP! AND CONSIDER ISOBEL STEPHENS DEAD!
Not that any of you care, but we'll keep you posted on all this.
Sorry for the brief interruption with boring stuff.

Yeah, he's way sorry that his career is gonna go buh-bye, just like he feared would happen in his little racist rant.
Here's the ultra-long statement/apology/Hail Mary he came out with late Wednesday:
"My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation. It was completely taken...
After making out at NYC's Rose Bar on Monday night, Lance and Ashley (Lashley?) hooked up again late Tuesday night at the Waverley Inn (where Lance was hanging out with Owen Wilson, who probably has no business being in a bar right now).
I just picture Lance Armstrong's aging ass being all like, "Hey, baby doll, will you give me a little head tonight? Just suck it for a little while?" And then Michelle Tanner grinning, giving him a thumbs-up and saying "You got it, dude!" ...
After hearing about his little racist rant, A&E, the network that airs his TV show, released the following statement:
"We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action."
They probably don't want to take the same heat NBC took after those Don Imus comments.
Way to go, A&E!...

It was about time we got another celeb racist rant on tape!!! Nice to know this sort of behavior is still alive and kicking. And here I was worried we were making progress in this world.
Listen to a portion of a phone conversation between Dog and his son, Tucker. Dog doesn't want Tucker's girlfriend, Monique, who is black, to be around because they say "nigger" in the house, and he doesn't want that getting into the tabs and ruining his career. He claims they don't mean it in a derogatory w...
The singer hasn't even confirmed her pregnancy yet, so it's hard to be sure exactly when she's due, but it's gotta be coming up soon. She's huge!
Shopping in LA on Tuesday....
I guess that's the going rate for killing a 17-year-old kid while driving on a coked-up bender.
"I'm sick of my own behavior that night," Garrison said in court. "This remorse is genuine. I feel it every day."
I'd say the message here is don't drive drunk, but you kids should already know that.
So the other message is, please, don't get in a car with a drunk-ass D-list celebrity. If you're gonna risk your life, at least find a damn B-lister. ...
Britney's trainwreck of a promotional tour -- beginning and ending, she says, with this Ryan Seacrest interview -- is now available for your listening pleasure. Click here.
God, I feel bad for Ryan. This thing was such a nightmare. I only got through 2 1/2 minutes, and then it hurt too bad. I'm not a very thorough journalist. Please let me know if anything less painful happened in the remaining 20 minutes.
Britney Spears' album is expected to be #1 on the charts this week. ...
