May 2007 Archives

Thanks to TVSquad.com for this recap ...

Ian Ziering and Cheryl Burke (Foxtrot) - They lacked some of the wow factor we have seen with other couples, but it was a very nice performance. Len thought Ian took a bit of a dip, calling the dance a bit skippy. Bruno agreed with him. He compared Ian to a "jumpy goat." Carrie Ann praised him for his exuberance and charm. Score: 22 (8, 7, 7).

Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson (Waltz) - The waltz lacked the show stopper 'razzle dazzle' that has become Joey's trademark in the competition, but it was a beautiful dance, performed well. And Kym was stunning. Bruno thought it looked like a rehearsal and wanted more razzle-dazzle. Carrie Ann agreed, saying it was solid technically but lacked Joey's personality. Len thought it was elegant and beautiful. Score: 26 (9, 8, 9)

Billy Ray Cyrus and Karina Smirnoff (Foxtrot) - We think the fact that Karina Smirnoff has toned down some of the more vulgar aspects of the character was a nice plus. Carrie Ann praised Billy's improvement. Len said it had the most content of any dance Billy Ray has done, but the steps were all wrong. Bruno thought it was the deliciously awful foxtrot on the temple of doom. That's the typical crazy Bruno talk we've become accustomed to, but then he went on to say it was crap. Yikes. That's not judging, not criticizing, it's just being mean. Score: 18 (7, 6, 5).

Laila Ali and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (Waltz) - It was another beautiful performance. The waltz lends itself so well to graceful and elegant dancing. Her blowing the kiss to Muhammad Ali was very touching. The only thing we could take away from it was the finish. They just kind of stopped and walked away instead of dancing to a finish. Len called it elegant and classy, but criticized Laila's posture. Bruno thought it was excellent. Carrie Ann praised the emotion that Laila brought to the dance, calling it profound. Score: 27 (9, 9, 9).

Apolo Anton Ohno and Julianne Hough (Tango) - This was a very slick tango, with a lot of credit going to Julianne for the choreography. It had the basic elements of the tango, but with a fresh look that we haven't seen this season. Bruno called it electric, dynamic, and contemporary. He also praised Julianne's choreography. Carrie Ann said everything was perfect. Len thought it lacked passion and drama, saying it was a cacophony of noise, to which Bruno said he was losing his marbles. Score: 28(10, 8, 10)

Well, probably not. But it's top ten material, without question. If you've seen any Britney Spears photos of late, this one certainly won't come as a huge shock to you, and requires little introduction from our staff members.

Nevertheless, we are required to post it for you, because how often do you see a cute, 25-year-old girl - who was once the sex symbol of your generation - looking like a triple-chinned, camouflaged, pissed-off hunchback truck driver? 

Not too often. This picture of Britney Spears was taken as she hit up a hot tanning salon in Beverly Hills. One can only wonder if the horrified expression on Britney's face is a result of her catching a glimpse of herself in a mirror.

Come on, Brit. Those topless pictures were random and weird, but nice enough. This is enough to drive a celebrity gossip site into a cycle of abject misery.

Jayden James would be filing the paperwork for legal emancipation from his mother if he could see this picture. Brit really does make K-Fed look stable by comparison.

At least her wig looks securely fastened. It's a start!

Cameron Diaz went ahead and fixed her nose a couple months ago.

But it looks as through the beautiful actress is still trying to decide on a hairstyle.

She's already gone from blonde to brunette - but Diaz showed up at the premiere for Shrek the Third over the weekend (and kissed ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake on the cheek!!!) with a 'do somewhere in between those two colors.

How do you feel about it?

There's little doubt that Cameron looks better than this Rumer Willis impression of Clark Kent, but that would be the case even if Diaz went all Britney Spears on us and shaved her head.

And while none of these styles even matter as long as we can see pictures of a half nude Cameron Diaz, we'd still like readers' opinions on the new look.

So go ahead and chime in as though we just bashed the hell out of Greg Laswell. We appreciate all comments.

The last time we saw Hayden Panettiere out and about with Rumer Willis, who she is apparently pals with, we couldn't help but note how sexy she is.

We mean Hayden Panettiere.

We noted that Rumer looks quite a bit like Jay Leno… with a touch of Michael Jackson thrown in there. While it's good to see Lindsay Lohan's former personal assistant is still alive and kicking, we're not sure about her latest style choices… 

Dressed like Clark Kent from Superman, Bruce Willis‘ oldest daughter looks disguised and primed to stealthily sniff out all the latest in celebrity gossip. Hayden, meanwhile, is stuck sniffing Rumer's cigarette. Gross!

Here's hoping that the next time Hayden and Stephen Colletti go out on a date, they leave the weird-looking third-wheel at home.

Chris Richardson might need to actually find a girlfriend now.

After all, the budding romance with his American Idol buddy, Blake Lewis, may be coming to an end.

Such a rumor has been circulating after the one and only Antonella Barba attended the show's performance last week. She remained mum throughout the evening - until Lewis caught her eye at the end of the night and blew her a kiss. She promptly returned the favor, he "caught" the airborne smooch and promptly held it close to his chest.

We don't know for sure what these gestures meant. But Blake better keep his eye on the singing ball for another few weeks, lest he lose the chance to beat out Jordin Sparks and Melinda Doolittle for the American Idol crown.

There will be plenty of time to see Antonella Barba nude later. For Blake and any guy with an Internet connection.

Sitting at home and watching the likes of Eve and Busta Rhymes get all this publicity for their DUI arrests, the other D-list stars out there have to be thinking, "What about me?!"

Guess it's no surprise that the super-uncool "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" star, Ty Pennington, was arrested early Saturday morning in Los Angeles on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol and drugs while driving.

The extremely annoying carpenter, a poor man's (straight) Ryan Seacrest who got his start on the TLC hit "Trading Spaces," was arrested at 12:35 AM. He was released two hours later after posting $5,000 bail.

The Ty Pennington arrest news follows that of Chris Albrecht, the HBO chairman busted on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend over the weekend.

Chris Albrecht was in Las Vegas for HBO's broadcast of the much-anticipated championship boxing match in which Floyd Mayweather, Jr., defeated Oscar De La Hoya.

That was unexpected enough - even more so than the Rich Eisen-Alycia Lane-Suzy Shuster drama from last week. Nut the Ty Pennington situation shook our staff to its core.

At our daily staff meeting, the chairman and executive editor of our celebrity gossip department assessed the Pennington arrest with the following quote:

"You can't help families move into new homes when wasted. I expect more from Ty."

No doubt millions of American families feel the same way.

Fans who wanted to see Asia Nitollano in The Pussycat Dolls are feeling let down today.

The reality show winner may never get on stage with the all-female group, but at least two other hotties got down and dirty to their songs over the weekend.

Yes, that's Eva Longoria and Jessica Simpson busting a few moves together and getting their picture snapped by a drooling onlooker.

Also attending the celebration for the second anniversary of The Pussycat Doll Lounge in Las Vegas was Mario Lopez. He and Longoria are friends from way back - but some at The Hollywood Gossip staff believe it may be more. Karina Smirnoff and Tony Parker may wish to keep their eyes open.

We're sorry these weren't better shots of Jessica Simpson's boobs, guys. Or Eva Longoria nude. But you can't have it all.

Right now, Jason Wahler is behind bars.

Paris Hilton will soon join him (see countdown).

Is Pete Doherty angling to for jail time himself?

It would seem that way. The hard-ass druggie and boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss was arrested on Saturday night on suspicion of possessing "Class A" banned drugs, The Sun reports.

Though a police spokesman declined to confirm whether the uglier, more f*%ked up half of PeteMoss specifically was arrested, but he said:

"At 2200 hours (2100 GMT) on the 5th (of May), police stopped a vehicle on Kensington High Street."

"A 28-year-old male driver was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug. He was taken to a west London police station, and later bailed to return in June pending further inquiries."

According to The Sun, Doherty was held in the police station overnight.

Only 17 days ago, Pete Doherty was back in court for a routine review of his rehab progress and told how pals had given him the ultimatum:

"It's the drugs or us."

Pete, in a rare moment of clarity, also hinted at relationship problems with Kate, "The people closest to me have had enough."

Apparently, he just can't get enough of the smack, though.

Kate would probably love to load Pete into a cannon and shoot him into the ocean at this point. Of course, she'd would never do that, because then a nude Kate Moss would have to swim out and drag his worthless ass back to shore.

You know how it goes.

Saturday marked the 133th running of the Kentucky Derby, and the stars flocked to the home state of Tara Conner to enjoy some mint juleps, horse racing and outlandish outfits.

Below (left), we see happy new dad Larry Birkhead with two women, who have been identified as Priscilla Barnstable and Patricia Barnstable Brown. Think he's shopping around for new mothers for Dannielynn? Either way, there's no doubt that Larry's lookin' sharp.

To Larry's right, we have Kid Rock, who always feels at home in the south and in new girlfriend May Andersen. In addition to rocking a super-cool hat and shirt, Kid took some time out to publicly diss Kevin Federline during an interview.

Elsewhere, Star Jones and her husband, Al Reynolds, took in the events, looking happy and almost normal by her standards. If she's going to bust out a ridiculous hat, at least Star picked an appropriate event with the Kentucky Derby.

Lastly, we have O.J. Simpson. We can't really see what he's wearing at the Derby, but we chose to include him because: 1. He was at the event. 2. It's nice to see that known murderers who will one day rot in the fiery pits of hell can at least enjoy the sport of kings.

Which Kentucky Derby outfit is your favorite?

Harry Morton slept with the STD farm known as Lindsay Lohan.

This should prove he doesn't have a very good head on his shoulders.

But in case you needed more proof of the full deck Morton isn't playing with, check this out: the former celebrity boyfriend has started a legal war with the person who, posing as Harry, posted naked pictures of his friends on a MySpace page. Just one hiccup:

Morton doesn't know who he's suing.

We haven't laughed this hard at a MySpace-related event since Melissa Joan Hart told off Chris Daughtry.

In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior court, Morton is going after an unknown cyber-troublemaker he calls "Jane Doe." In the suit, Morton claims "Doe" posted nude photographs of one of his friends (no, not Sean Stewart nude) and a false statement that the friend had AIDS.

Morton alleges that the fake page was created to give the impression he had created it himself.

The owner of the famous Pink Taco restaurant chain says he suffered "emotional distress," was forced to "rehabilitate his reputation" and "lost business" due to the MySpace debacle. This all implies that Morton had a reputation beyond Firecrotch Queen Conquerer in the first place.

Our celebrity gossip sources were unable to contact Jane Doe, either. Because nobody knows who she is.
