Cyrus answered readers’ questions in the newspaper’s Wednesday edition. One reader asked, “Do you ever worry that your friends like you only because you’re famous?

Entertainment Tonight and The Insider have purchased exclusive rights to tragic video footage of Heath Ledger allegedly snorting cocaine at a party two years ago. The footage, which PageSix.com hears was bought for $200,000, was shot without Heath’s knowledge, at the Chateau Marmont hotel in L.A. following the SAG awards on January 29, 2006.  In the video, Heath is shown talking while at a private party after sniffing a cocaine-like substance off a table with a rolled up bill in his hand. As he speaks, his face noticeably twitches. An insider tells PageSix.com that Heath says at one point, “I’m gonna get so much sh*t from my girlfriend. We have a baby together… Matilda, Matilda Rose.”

She revealed, “I can’t vouch for this; he seemed to be very knowledgeable and he certainly was very nice.” Well at least it is a step in the right direction. Next up? Rehab.

Ellen remembers Heath

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Happy Thursday Kiddies and away I go. The move is in effect ya’ll.

Ellen Degeneres paid a touching tribute to tragic actor Heath Ledger at the end of her show on Wednesday. Degeneres called the Brokeback Mountain star “an amazing, amazing, talented young man,” before devoting the finale of her show to a clip of her and Ledger `riding’ on a bobsled in front of a green screen. I love that show, I Tivo it on a daily basis, and it actually brought a tear to my eye during that clip.

Troubled pop star Britney Spears has failed to regain visitation rights to her children after an emergency custody hearing in Los Angeles. The singer had been due to make a desperate plea to a judge at L.A. County Courthouse to allow her to see her sons but arrived at the building and then left before entering the courtroom. And her absence may have affected the outcome as it has been reported that the star’s current visitation rights will remain the same, according to TMZ.com. The star allegedly entered the building through the basement to avoid the waiting paparazzi but turned and fled soon afterwards, without going into the room where the hearing was taking place. A member of Spears’ legal team told a court official, “I don’t know whether she’ll be here or not. I don’t want to delay the hearing.” Guys this is a good thing. Britney is an unfit mother at this stage. Britney simple concept. Get the help you need, and then you get your kids back.

Speaking of Miss Britney, someone is coming to her defense. Paris Hilton has defended Britney Spears against accusations of bad parenting, insisting the troubled singer is a “great mother.” Spears is currently fighting to win back visitation rights to see her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline after she was stripped of all custody rights following a stand-off with police earlier this month. The dramatic events of January 3, 2008 were sparked after she refused to hand back her youngest son, Jayden James, to Federline’s minder following a scheduled visit. But Hilton sympathizes with her former partying pal, and has called on the media to stop harassing the star. Oh Paris, I don’t think Britney needs your help at this juncture of time. Stay far away, she does not need you in her life right now. She needs help.

Allhiphop.com reports that Lil’ Wayne, born Dwight Carter, was arrested near Yuma, Arizona last night for drug possession. He was taken into custody by law enforcement officials and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). The rapper is being charged with possession of cocaine, possession of ecstasy and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was in Arizona for a concert - he performed at the “Takeover Tucson” concert on Sunday, January 20. TMZ.com reports that police uncovered 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and 41 grams of ecstasy pills on his tour bus, as well as a 40-caliber pistol. Wayne reportedly has a permit for a concealed weapon in Florida, however it is unclear if that carries over to Arizona. Ok, I could understand a small dime bag, but 105 grams of pot? Seriously that is insane.

The King Kong star was inspired to scrutinize record sales and downloading after realizing kids were no longer growing up with the “thrill” of buying music from a store. He says, “I’ve bought music online but I’m still very big about going into a record store. “I’m very proud to say that I actually paid $14 for the Radiohead CD, and then actually went into the effort of converting it in pounds so I could buy it on the (British band’s) website. Is it just me or can you not only associate Colin Hanks with his role in Orange County.

And now, according to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, the 35-year-old paparazzo has signed a contract with a TV network for an exclusive interview about the time he spent with the troubled star. A source tells Hilton, “He’s getting paid a lot. And his interview will be stretched out over several days.” Ghalib has also been accused of striking a deal with his celebrity photo agency, FinalPixx, to sell private text messages sent to him by the singer.

The pregnancy scandal revolving around Britney Spears’ teenage sister, Jamie Lynn, is being used as part of a campaign to urge pet owners to spay and neuter dogs and cats. Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are hoping pet lovers get the link between a hard-hitting new Internet video and young Spears. In the film, which has been posted on PETA’s website, a 16 year-old girl is encouraged to become sexually active.  When the horrified girl asks, “What if I get pregnant?” the parents urge her to “pop out all the kids you can”. Wow, well that is just foreshadowing at its best.

Meyer’s 1966 film, about three killer strippers, became an instant classic and Tarantino is determined to give the movie a super-saucy revamp, according to Daily Variety columnist Liz Smith.

On Wednesday, Murphy confirmed he and Tracey Edmonds were planning to remain just “friends” after opting not to follow up their January 1, 2008 wedding in Bora Bora with a more legally-binding ceremony on American soil. The news came the day before the new issue of Ebony magazine, which features the couple on the cover, hit newsstands. Well as long as the marriage was not official, than I guess it is all good.

And finally, The Hills star Heidi Montag has hinted she’s not the only girl on the hit reality TV show to have undergone cosmetic surgery in a blast aimed at her castmates.

Montag insists at least she came clean about her plastic surgery, and she tells Maxim she wishes others on the show would do the same. She says, “They were saying malicious things about me, and I was like, ‘You guys are hypocrites.’ “Almost everyone on the show has had some kind of surgery.” That comment has prompted new speculation that fellow The Hills star Audrina Partridge has had a boob job.

Britney Spears refused to return her children to her ex-husband Kevin Federline on Thursday night because she feared her youngest son had become a victim of child abuse.  Spears was involved in a major stand-off with emergency services outside her Beverly Hills, California, mansion on Thursday when she reportedly barricaded herself in the bathroom with one-year-old Jayden James. But according to British newspaper the Sunday Mirror, Spears was acting in defense of her children, who she believed were being abused while in the care of their father. A source says, “When the kids arrived, she says Jayden’s legs were covered in bruises. He’s a toddler and learning to walk so it’s not that surprising - but Britney was terrified he was being abused. Wow, good story. I fell down my friends stairs over the summer, and had a giant black and blue mark on my elbow, am I getting abused?

Speaking of Miss. Spears, in a written ruling following an emergency hearing on Friday, a judge awarded her ex-husband Kevin Federline “awarded sole legal custody and sole physical custody of the minor children.” The singer’s “visitation with the minor children is suspended pending further order of the court.” The order is in effect until Jan. 14. However, police will not be charging Spears over the incident, which they are treating as a domestic dispute. A police spokesperson says, “We do not have plans to charge her.” Well why the hell not? I am still pondering if we are living in bizarre world where Kevin is the better fit parent.

But when I came back, it got kind of crazy.” Hudgens then issued , a statement through her rep apologizing to her fans for disappointing them. Oh come on now, those pics kept you in the public eye and now you have something people are talking about besides HSM.

Well this cant be good. Little Miss Preggers Jamie Lynn Spears TV show has reportedly been axed just weeks after the teenage star announced she is pregnant with her first child.  The 16-year-old initially won the support of bosses at network Nickelodeon after news broke she was 12 weeks pregnant last month. But teen school drama Zoey 101, in which Spears plays the lead role, has allegedly been cancelled. The fourth and final season has already been filmed, but show bosses are yet to decide if it will be aired. A source tells British newspaper the Sun, “Nickelodeon bosses are still undecided whether to air season four or not. Oh just let her wreck her career with a little dignity, unlike Brit-Brit.

Christina Aguilera and Katie Holmes have signed to star together in a new movie. The pair will team up in family drama Humboldt Park, which will begin shooting in February 2008 - just weeks after Aguilera is due to give birth to her first child. A source says, “(Holmes) is trying to prove she can do more than fluffy popcorn movies”, and starring alongside Aguilera “shows she’s willing to take risks”. I wonder what the move will be called “A Tale Of 2 Hussies?”

And finally, Tila Tequila is returning for a second season on MTV. It was the highest rated show in the last two years on MTV. I for one will be totally there. That stupid girl should have chosen my favorite lesbot Danny, not stupid frat boy Bobby. What a stupid-whore.
