Does Leonardo DiCaprio Really Need Volunteer Labor?

Leonardo DiCaprio Used Volunteer Labor, Not Union, on Documentary Film The 11th Hour FishbowlLA editor Kate Coe has an interesting article in Grist this week, regarding total hottie Leonardo DiCaprio's new eco-documentary, The 11th Hour. She attended an LA press conference for the event, and posed a simple, yet challenging, question to Leo and the producers: "Is this a union film?" The filmmakers seem flummoxed by my question. "It's a documentary," they offer. "It's an independent film." "It's so low budget." None of which prevents a film from having a union crew, I point out. And havi...

Rihanna: Cheating on Shia Already???

070829zm_rihanna_02-copy.jpg Okay, okay. Sometimes I just like to be sensationalist. Okay. I always like to be sensationalist. I refuse to learn how to spell Shia LaBuioueaf's last name, but I will happily run this picture of his alleged new paramour, Rihanna, holding hands with someone who is most certainly not Shia LaBeeuxiouf as she leaves Avalon last night. Tsk, tsk, Rihanna! If you haven't heard yet, Shia LaBizioueyf is totally the next big thing. Don't blow it, girl! ...

Barnes and Noble Will Carry O.J. Simpson Book

Barnes and Noble Will Carry OJ Simpson Book, If I Did It After initially saying they would not carry the book due to lack of demand, Barnes and Noble has changed its mind, deciding that they will, in fact, stock copies of O.J.'s "fictional" account of how he "would have" killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, if he did it. I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, we live in a country where censorship is, generally, frowned upon. O.J. has the right to pen this book and people have the right to read it. On the other hand, that doesn't mean Barne...

Bridget Moynahan Doesn’t Want Her Slimeball of an Ex to See His Baby

Bridget Moynahan Won’t Let Tom Brady See His Baby And I don't blame her one bit. Bridget gave birth to a baby boy last week, but Baby Daddy Tom Brady had ditched her for supermodel Gisele Bundchen not long after knocking her up. Tom flew from the East coast to L.A. for the birth of his kiddo, but Bridget is understandably less-than-thrilled about having Tom around at this point in time. "Tom was only allowed to see the baby for a short time," says a West Coast spy. "Bridget would not see him herself." Moynahan’s publicist said ...
