Kara DioGuardi Will be Back on American Idol? July 30, 2009WendieKara DioGuardi I really felt that Kara was going to be gone. After last season, when the world realized that American Idol with four judges makes no sense, I thought she'd be out the door. Anyway, isn't she really bad? I tuned in once and she was trying to teach a contestant the right way to sing -- awkward! But her contract has been renewed and this scares me. It makes me wonder if they truly aren't bringing back Paula. I don't really watch AI unless I'm beyond bored and I suspect the world is...
It’s Like Old-Time Brit! July 30, 2009WendieBritney Spears Britney was seen -- where else? -- at a Starbucks drive-thru yesterday in L.A. I was a little worried a few weeks ago when she went back to the crazy hair, but here she looks healthy, normal, and really pretty even with no makeup on! Keep it up, Brit! In another few months, you'll be able to buy that Venti latte without your daddy's permission! [gallery]...
Custody Settled Regarding Michael Jackson’s Children July 30, 2009WendieDebbie Rowe, Michael Jackson, Uncategorized According to TMZ, Debbie Rowe has resolved the issues regarding custody of her children with Michael Jackson. You'll love this -- not a penny passed hands. *coughbullshitcough* Rowe will retain her parental rights -- good move for later down the road when her bank balance gets a little low -- and Katherine Jackson will be the children's legal guardian. As part of the agreement, Rowe requested the participation of a psychologist who will help integrate Debbie into the lives of her kids. She will be on a visitation schedule ...
Jude Law Knocked Someone Up And How I Grossed Myself Out July 30, 2009WendieJude Law, Uncategorized Jude Law got some chick pregnant; she's due this fall. Her name hasn't come out yet and they aren't in a relationship, so it was probably a typical Jude Law conquest accomplished by a liberal application of Stoli and English charm (though, obviously lacking a liberal application of spermicide). I started going through the photo agencies' Jude Law pictures of the past year, looking for this mysterious female that is now impregnated with Law's kid. (Obviously, I think I'm Nancy Drew.) I did find some pictures of him with a woman, and they ...
Mel Gibson is a Tool July 30, 2009WendieMel Gibson At what age will Mel Gibson not be at clubs and getting into fights? Whatever age that is, he clearly isn't there yet. Last night Mel was at a club with his pregnant girlfriend Oksana Gregorieva and a pap tried getting a picture of them. He was stopped by security, but another photog friend stepped in to try and get the shot. That's when -- what else? -- Mel went batshit and ripped the dude's shirt open. No word on if he called the pap "sugar tits". Sigh. You know, this "bad boy" personna -- the trashed hotel rooms, the bar r...
Studio Sheds Light On Reasons Behind Twilight Personnel Change July 30, 2009WendieUncategorized I had a feeling there was more to this story than we were originally hearing. Last night I told you about the replacement of Rachelle Lefevre, the actress who plays Victoria in the Twilight movies. And, you know, she released a statement making it seem like she was pretty much blindsided by Summit Entertainment's decision to go with a different actress -- Bryce Dallas Howard -- due to a minor "scheduling conflict". According to Summit's rebuttal, Lefevre may be playing dumb: W...
Why Natural Lighting Is Evil July 30, 2009WendieBridget Marquardt This is why we must all eschew any and all photo sessions that occur in the great outdoors. Bridget Marquardt, Hef's ex-girl next door, was a guest at last night's Give and Get Fete, an event that supports Dress for Success. The sun was cruel ... as cruel as the hairstylist that keeps her looking like Washed Up Barbie. Denise Richards appeared too, and I don't know how I've never noticed this before, but she has a touch of the crazy eyes. Tatyana Ali, best known for being on Fresh Pri...
New Madonna Single! July 30, 2009WendieMadonna Madonna's greatest hits album is set to drop on September 29th. Madge's "Celebration" will have two new songs, one of which is aptly titled "Celebration". Take a listen and let me know what you think. Oh, and I can't wait for the video. Lourdes is debuting in it!...
Twilight’s Rachelle Lefevre Replaced! July 29, 2009WendieUncategorized In a surprising move, Summit Entertainment announced today that Bryce Dallas Howard would be replacing actress Rachelle Lefevre in the role of Victoria in the next Twilight installment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Here's a portion of their press release: Summit Entertainment announced today that Bryce Dallas Howard will take over the role of “Victoria” in the studio’s upcoming production of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. Actress, Rachelle Lefevre, who portrayed the character in TWILI...
Gisele Gets Instant Tummy Tuck July 29, 2009WendieGisele Bundchen Gisele Bundchen is the new face (abdomen?) of London Fog's 2009 Fall campaign. Obviously LF is trying to sex their image up, which is a refreshing departure from their atrocious winter coats that I used to receive as a Christmas gift every year when I was a child. I can't tell you how much those things cost me in therapy sessions. Anyway, Gisele is pregnant so the LF people were kind enough to give her a little Photoshop enhancing to make her look as svelte as ever. Sadly, Gisele's "baby bum...
Even Nahla Aubrey Looks Like She Can’t Stand The Paps July 29, 2009WendieHalle Berry Halle Berry was in L.A. visiting a friend yesterday. There was some weird dude who was in most of the pics who looked like he was trying to give a bouquet of flowers to Halle. Upon further inspection, I think he is an assistant, friend or manager of Halle's and not some creepy random. Nahla Aubrey, Halle's 16-month-old daughter that I'm slightly obsessed with (though not in a creepy Let Me Give You Calla Lilies on the Street sort of way), has already begun mastering the Disgusted With Pap...
Oh, Shut Up January Jones July 29, 2009WendieUncategorized January Jones is in trouble with the producers of Mad Men. In trouble because she just can't seem to gain any weight. "I got told a couple of days ago that I look too skinny, and I was in trouble," January sheepishly told reporters at the July 28 party for the AMC network. "I’m naturally pretty thin, so I’m trying," the beautiful blonde actress said, showing reporters she was drinking an Amstel Light beer at the party. "I eat whatever is at craft services. I’m a big eater. I’m from South Dako...
