There’s A New Queen In Town

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

 

Good morning one and all.  There is nothing like waking up in the morning, and seeing snow on top of your car.  Anywho, now onto the celebrity dirt and gossip.

 

Step aside Julia Roberts; there is a new queen in Hollywood.  That person is Reese Witherspoon, who will be paid 30 million dollars for her next movie.  Julia’s usual asking price is 20 million, + a backend deal.  Ha, backend deal. 

 

Paris Hilton is bringing out her claws.  This time, she is starting a feud with Charlize Theron.  Paris is currently taking acting classes, and her teacher is telling her that she is making great progress, and that she will be up against the same roles that Charlize Theron is up for.  So Paris, being Paris, sent a letter to Charlize, warning her that they will be up for the same roles, and that she should watch her back.  Good call Paris.  You rock.  I would love to see you in a movie that does not have night-vision in it.

 

Kate Moss’s Ex, Pete Dougherty has been arrested, Yet again.  The worst part is that he was on probation from a previous arrest for drug possession.  The rocker is now looking at some serious jail time. 

 

Brad and Angelina have registered at Tiffany’s for their impending summer wedding.  I think I will get them the gold-plated turkey boat for their tofurkey. 

 

Britney is still trying to convince us that she is not pregnant.  Today she was at the Fat Tuesday kickoff to Mardi gras riding on top of a float.  There are pictures of her looking pretty dang dumpy.

 

And finally. The word of the year in Hollywood?  Brokeback.  It is being said to be added to the new Webster’s Dictionary come October.

 

You know the drill

Drew’s Crew

Monday, February 27th, 2006

Good morning kiddies.  Onto the stuff that drives you guys here, the celebrity news and gossip.  Well that and my wit and charm.
 

So last night on the finale of Dancing With The Stars, Drew Lachey and his partner beat Jerry Rice.  How Jerry Rice beat out Stacey Keibler to come in second place is beyond me.  Drew and his partner have lined up some appearances on television, for the rest of the week.  Tonight they will be on Leno, tomorrow they will be on The View and The Tony Danza Show.
 

Speaking of television show appearances, everyone’s favorite hussies, Pussycat Dolls will be appearing on The Tyra Banks Show on Friday, and performing 2 songs.  My tivo is already set up to record those glorified strippers doing their hits.
 
You know I could not let a day go by without doing a Britney report.  So, her 52 year old cousin, Art Spears, is predicting that her marriage will end in marital doom. “I don’t think Britney and Kevin are going to stay together,” Art said. “Her son is her life and she will obviously do what ever is best for him – but does that involve Kevin? I don’t think so.”  Man do I love me some poor white trash. 
 

Next story, Eighties queen George Michaels got busted this weekend.  Michaels who is 42 years old, was arrested in London this past weekend for drug possession.  Wow he is terrific. 
 

The top 3 movies from the weekend were:
 

1 – Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion, $30.2 million
2 – Eight Below, $15.7 million
3 – The Pink Panther, $11.3 million
 

And finally, Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, is saying the Peas saved her life and her sanity.  Fergie said that she was homeless and hooked on crystal meth in the months leading up to her joining the super-group.  “Once you get into the drug world, you don’t realize how far you’re getting until you’re that far gone.”  Fergie told Blender magazine.”I had a conversation with God, basically. I don’t know how to interpret this, but he said, ‘I’ve given you this beautiful gift (singing) and you’re throwing it away.’”

An Idol alum coming out of the closet.

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

I hate to depress everyone on this beautiful Sunday but I do have 2 sad stories to report. First, one of my celebrity idols growing up and up to today, Don Knotts passed away. Knotts is best known for 2 roles, on the Andy Griffith Show as Barney Fife, for which he won 5 Emmy awards for. But more importantly he was Mr. Firley on 3’s Company. He was 81 when he died Friday morning, of pulmonary and respiratory complications at the UCLA Medical Center.

The second sad story, is one more of hope. Sheryl Crow was diagnosed with breast cancer this past week, and has started treatment. Crow has postponed her tour, promoting her new album. Crow, who is 44 years old said on her own web site, “I am joining the more than 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

OK, now with that out of the way, lets get to the fun celebrity gossip you all have known and come to love. Season 1 American Idol “star” Nikki McKibbin has officially come out of the closet, and is declaring herself a lipstick lesbian. She was recently at a Tiffany concert in LA, with her new girlfriend, fellow reality star Toni from Paradise Hotel. It is being said that the two of them were all over each other.

Kevin Federline and Jessica Simpson were spotted chatting at a club in LA. Kevin approached her at a table and she told him to sit down and chat. That has got to be a match made in heaven. I swear these two are totally meant for each other. Speaking of K-fed, it appears that he is getting a little bit of street-cred. He will be guest rapping on a track on the new album from The Game.

Tracy Morgan is placed on probation for his drunk driving arrest back in December 2005. How is it that celebrities get put on probation but us common folks get thrown in the slammer for drunk driving. Whatever.

And finally punkrock gods, the Sex Pistols have said no to an invitation to join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. How punk of them. They are definitely spitting in the face of mainstream.

The T-shirts are on the way.
