Sanjaya Malakar is making the most of his twelve remaining minutes of fame, attending the White House Correspondents' Association dinner as a guest of People magazine. Sanjaya holds quite a bit of clout still, as the staffers at People tried to get rid of an annoying autograph-seeker. "We are trying to let him eat," the staffers told the bothersome man.
"But I'm the governor of New York," responded Eliot Spitzer, and then he got his autograph. A reasonable person might assume he was getting the John Hancock for one or all of his teenage daughters, but ...
Paris is off to the first show of Gwen Stefani's tour in Vegas. [popbytes] Britney hits the town, cowgirl style. [DListed] The gossip blogosphere needs more stories about people barking at Anna Kournikova. [The Blemish] Ginger Spice asks Posh to be her baby daughter's godmother. And, just to prove she's serious about creating the most surreal life possible for this child, she's named it Bluebell Madonna. [Celebrity Smack] Paris Hilton has to change her phone number again ... [Celebslam] I am certain Hilary Duff was truly excited to play with these elephants. Her manager did not at all get bitched at afterwards for arranging this photo op. No way. She was delighted. [A Socialite's Life] Nicky Hilton and Cameron Diaz have a pimple-popping extravaganza in the Teddy's bathroom. Something tells me that wasn't the only white stuff making an appearance on mirrors in that bathroom ... [Yeeeah!] Alec Baldwin just posted the following statement on his website, in response to the tape that was leaked to the media, in which Alec loses his temper on his daughter's voicemail: Thank you to everyone who has posted messages of suppport and understanding. Naturally, it is not best for a parent to lose their temper with their child. Everyone who knows me privately knows that I have endured a great deal over the last several years in my custody litigation. Everyone who knows me privately knows that certain people will go to any lengths to embarass me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter. In such public cases, your opponents attempt to take a picture of you on your worst day and insist that this is who you are as a person. Outside the doors of divorce court, I have friends, I have respect from people I work with and I have a normal relationship with my daughter. All of that is threatened whenever one enters a court room. Although I have been told by numerous people not to worry too much, as all parents lose their patience with their kids, I am most saddened that this was released to the media because of what it does to a child. I'm sorry, as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child. I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now. You have to go through this to understand. ( Although I hope you never do.) I am sorry for what happened. But I am equally sorry that a court order was violated, which had deliberately been put under seal in this case. Once my book is published, I'm sure more people will understand the incredible strains created by parental alienation. In the meantime, I'm sorry to anyone who's taken offense from this episode.
I can't possibly write anything funnier than the email that accompanied this photo, so I'm just going to reprint it:
Hi,
Here's a photo of my son Daniel that my husband says might make him gay. I plan on taking one every month just to be sure that this happens!
Thanks!
Robin
Thank you Robin for sending in this photo and absolutely making my day! />...

Those of you who have been waiting patiently for the Lindsay Lohan/Keira Knightley lesbian scene you were promised in their upcoming flick, Best Time of Our Lives, will just have to pull out the Vaseline and your Wild Things DVD and keep waiting. The ever-reliable Lohan dropped out of the Dylan Thomas biopic just days before filming was supposed to start. You know, because she's not an addict, and everything is totally under control.
Keira's mother, Sharman Macdonald, wrote the screenpla...

I don't even know what she does anymore -- is she still working? Voice-overs or something? I don't know. But I can't shake that soft spot in my heart for Claudia Salinger. She showed up at the Step Up Women's Network 4th Annual Inspiration Awards last night. I guess Jessica Alba hosted. Sara Ramirez and Aisha Tyler made appearances as well.

Paris, darling, do you need attention? Is that why you showed up at Jason Strauss's birthday party at TAO last night? For the Kevin Federline photo op? Just in case the stake hasn't been driven all the way through Britney's heart? Just grind it in that last inch or so ... and take your new boyfriend along, too, just to remind the world that you can have it all. Everything but self respect, my darling. Everything but that.

Remember that show The Apprentice? It used to air on NBC? Oh, what's that you say? It's still on? Really? Why?
Anyway, I guess there was some chick on it this season named Kristine Lefebvre, who should, if nothing else, at least win some manner of prize for the most lingually inconvenient sequence of consonants in a last name. Because she didn't win The Apprentice. Trump fired her earlier this month. But you know who does want her? Playboy. From the AP:
Kristine Lefebvre, who failed to w...
Jesse Metcalfe, best known for his role as the hunky gardener-slash-homewrecker on Desperate Housewives, has just been very publicly dumped by his girlfriend after pictures of him holding hands with another girl surfaced on the Internet yesterday. Metcalfe -- who checked into rehab last month -- was photographed on the streets of L.A. with a mystery brunette. His girlfriend, Nadine Coyle, was not particularly happy about it.
If you're reading this from the U.S., you've probably never heard of Nadi...
