Britney’s Slumber Party.

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Happy Monday kiddies, and away I go.  BT-Dubs, is it the 4th of July yet?  4 day work week.  Hi-yo.


 

Britney Spears spent Saturday night with her two sons, Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 1 1/2, Usmagazine.com reports.  It was the first night the pop singer got to spend with her boys since she was hospitalized in January.  According to the magazine, the boys were dropped off Saturday and picked up on Sunday around 10 a.m.  “Britney was very upset after the kids left,” a source told Usmagazine.com. “She now does not know when she will get them next for an overnight. She complains it could be next week, or it could be three months.”  Yeah, there you go Britney.  Nothing like starting off the post with a positive Britney story.

Lindsay Lohan has a secret 13-year-old half-sister she has never met, the actress’ father has revealed.  Michael Lohan has confessed he fathered a child with another woman while separated from the star’s mother Dina.  He claims he only found out about his secret daughter years after she was born, and has been exchanging correspondence with her mother over the past year.  Lohan Sr. tells Ok! Magazine, “Years later (the woman) contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child.”  Ok! claims to have seen letters sent to the girl’s mother, in which he compares her to Lindsay. The mother claims Michael has called frequently, but never visited or provided financial support for the girl. And she tells the publication it’s time for Michael to take responsibility.  Man do I love White Trash families, and these guys are the trashiest people I have ever seen.  They totally belong in a trailer park.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary – by sitting down to dinner with actor Matt Damon and his wife.  The Daredevil stars were accompanied by Affleck’s childhood pal Damon and his heavily pregnant wife, Luciana Barroso, for a two-hour dinner on the patio of Nobu in Malibu on Saturday night.  According to People.com, they ate cooked fish and sushi rolls – and toasted the couple’s anniversary, which was on Sunday, during dessert.  A source says, “Ben and Matt were entertaining the girls with stories, and they were all laughing a lot.  “Jen and Ben were in a great mood, and they left Nobu hand in hand.”  Wow that is a sweet story.  So Sweet I think I just got a cavity.

A fictional energy drink that features in Ben Stiller’s next movie Tropical Thunder is being turned into a real product.  Booty Sweat pops up throughout the comedy, which is due to be released on August 15.  Now Paramount Pictures want to cash in, by producing it and marketing it alongside the movie.  Michael Corcoran, president of consumer products at Paramount Pictures, “Not to my knowledge has this ever been done before. We’re very excited, because it has the potential to live for quite a while, well beyond the film.”   I could totally go for some booty sweat right now, sounds almost as good as a Sparxx.

 Jennifer Aniston was on hand for two London performances by her boyfriend, singer John Mayer.   The unidentified concertgoer at London’s Hard Rock Calling told People magazine the former Friends star was with the singer after the show.   ”She was on the side of the stage and really couldn’t be seen by anyone,” the onlooker said. “John didn’t make any call-outs to her during the Hard Rock Calling show, but she was seen hanging out with him in the Artist Area before and after his performance.”   Aniston was also spotted at Mayer’s Friday performance at another London locale, People said.   The celebrity couple were also spotted together earlier in the week in the Netherlands, where Mayer was performing and Aniston was promoting her newest film Marley and Me.   Just make sure he never meets Angelina Jolie on a movie set.  She is not a good person and a boyfriend stealer. 


 Futuristic film Wall-E has outsmarted the competition in its opening weekend, taking in over $62.5 at the U.S. box office.  The animated movie – featuring the voices of actress Sigourney Weaver and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Jeff Garlin – triumphed over rivaling Angelina Jolie action film Wanted, which came in at the number two spot with $51.1 million during its opening weekend.  Meanwhile, spy-themed action film Get Smart slid from its top spot to number three, taking in an additional $20 million.  Jack Black-narrated animated feature Kung Fu Panda came in number four – garnering over $11.7 million – making an impressive three-week run total at $179.3 million.  The new top five is rounded off by comic movie adaptation The Incredible Hulk, which fell from its number three spot, taking in an additional $9.2 million.   Yeah, I am still waiting for Hancock.  They are going to be getting my 12 bucks.

And finally,  Bluth family lovers, unite! Former Arrested Development co-star Jeffrey Tambor confirmed published reports that a movie version of the Emmy-winning Fox comedy is in the works. “After months of speculation. I think we have finally figured out for sure that we are indeed doing an Arrested Development movie,” Tambor told EW.com at the premiere of Hellboy 2 on Sunday. “I am very excited about that. I love that cast and crew and I felt like we had more to say.”  The series, which aired for three seasons, starred Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett and Michael Cera. The single-camera comedy was beloved by critics, but was never a ratings bonanza for Fox. The network canceled the show a year after it won the Emmy award for best comedy.  This really does make me quite excited.  Now just bring back a version of the British Office, and I am a happy camper.

Happy Friday Kiddies and away I go.  I am still planning on bringing www.mangoout.com to the next level.


 

Pint-sized Austin Powers star Verne Troyer is suing a celebrity website after it published footage of the star allegedly engaging in sexual acts in a home-made raunchy tape.  The diminutive actor/comic has filed a $20 million lawsuit against TMZ.com, accusing the site of violating his rights by publishing and airing extracts from the film.  In papers filed at a Los Angeles court, Troyer claims that TMZ.com “infringed on his copyright and trademark by running portions” after it ran parts of the tape on its site, according to the website itself.  TMZ.com also claims Troyer alleges the site violated “his right to publicity and misappropriated his name and likeness.”  The footage features the star and a former girlfriend at his apartment, and reportedly ended up in the hands of sex tape specialist Kevin Blatt, who brokered the deal for Paris Hilton’s infamous sex tape One Night In Paris.  Well that is one sex-tape I have no desire to see.

Madonna has told Guy Ritchie she wants to end their seven-year marriage because they have drifted apart, a friend told The Daily Mirror.  “They were both very calm. Madonna told Guy: ‘I’m sorry. I want a divorce.’ And he agreed. It was quite painless but very sad,” a friend told the newspaper Thursday night.  Friends of Ritchie, a British filmmaker, said he is at the family’s country home in England, holding out hope that the relationship can be saved, while Madonna is in New York with their three children.  “He’s a bit down in the dumps, and who can blame him. He’s off to the country to get a bit of peace and quiet,” an insider told the Mirror.  Ritchie and Madonna, who reportedly don’t have a prenuptial agreement, are said to have already consulted divorce lawyers.   Well at least he has a career of his own.  I mean, did you not see this coming from a mile away though?

Miley Cyrus is reportedly in discussions to launch her own teen talk show.  The Hannah Montana star met model-turned-TV presenter Tyra Banks during a trip to Nashville, Tennessee in May, and the pair is planning to produce a younger version of Banks’ own show.  A source tells Star magazine, “Tyra wants to produce a show for Miley.  “Miley already has a huge following among teen girls, so her show would likely be successful. Tyra sees Miley’s potential.”   I don’t even watch the Tyra show, what makes you think I am going to watch some piece of doodie produced by Tyra, even if it does star Miley.

Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz has sparked rumors she is engaged to British model Paul Sculfor – after she was photographed wearing a diamond band on her wedding finger.  The Charlie’s Angels star has reportedly been dating Sculfor – who was recently linked to Jennifer Aniston – for the last few weeks but neither has officially confirmed the relationship.  However, the pair stepped up speculation they are romantically involved after they were spotted locked in a passionate embrace following a romantic meal in Santa Monica, California on Monday night.  And now Diaz has been snapped sporting a large diamond ring on her left hand, prompting rumors that her relationship with the former brick-layer could be more serious than previously thought.  There needs to be more eligible bachelors out in La-la land.  I mean she is dating Jennifer’s ex for gosh sake.

The dog U.S. actress Anne Hathaway shares with her ex-boyfriend Rafaello Follieri is being cared for by Follieri’s ill mother while Follieri is in jail.   Follieri has been ordered to remain behind bars until he raises $21 million bail. The Italian businessman was arrested and charged this week with wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering in connection with his business dealings.   Hathaway, who ended her four-year relationship with Follieri earlier this month, is traveling the world promoting her new movie “Get Smart.”   Meanwhile, Esmeralda, the 2-year-old chocolate Labrador Retriever the former couple shares, is being looked after by Follieri’s mother, Anna, who came to New York from Italy to undergo cancer treatment and is staying in her son’s Trump Tower penthouse, the New York Post reported.   She should really be on top of the world right now, successful movie; her ex is going to jail.  But this is still lingering over her head.
 

And finally, “The Dark Knight” reportedly is to be dedicated to Australian actor Heath Ledger and a special-effects technician, both of whom died before the film opened.   Conway Wickliffe, who worked on the new Batman movie’s special effects, was killed last September in a stunt-car accident and Ledger died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in January after wrapping his role as The Joker in the film.   People.com said the movie’s closing credits will include the message, “In memory of our friends Heath Ledger & Conway Wickliffe.”   Starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart and Maggie Gyllenhaal, the movie is to open July 18.   Yeah, I still have little desire to see this movie.

Happy Wednesday Kiddies and away I gay.  Eh?  Nothing like trying out new material on you guys.  BTW, my friends and I have a pregnancy pact in full effect right now.
Reese Witherspoon is Hollywood’s highest paid actress, according to a new study.  The Legally Blonde star pulls in an estimated $15 to $20 million per film, putting her at the top of the new Hollywood Reporter rich list, ahead of Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman.  Renee Zellweger, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts also make the new trade top 10.  Yeah, I do love me some Reese.  But where is Miss Jennifer Love Hewitt on the list?  Hum?

Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend has been arrested on suspicion of federal wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering.  Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri – who was reportedly dumped by the Devil Wears Prada star earlier this month – is to be hauled in front of a judge at New York’s Manhattan federal court on Tuesday.  According to website TMZ.com, he is accused of lying to an investor, claiming he was working as the chief financial officer for the Vatican.  Police allege Follieri tricked his business associates with the lie and was able to purchase various U.S. properties owned by the Catholic Church at a lower market rate.  This incident is the latest in a long line of shady dealings involving Follieri. He was arrested earlier this year for writing a bad check and was sued by a former business partner in 2007.   Ha, that is a classic line.  Yeah baby, I am the CFO for the Vatican.  Classic.

Felicity actress Amy Jo Johnson is expecting her first child.  The 37-year-old star of the hit CBS show is pregnant with fiancé Olivier Giner’s child.  Johnson first found fame as one of the Power Rangers in cult kid classic TV show Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.   Man, I used to love that show.  She was fantastic on it.

A Los Angeles judge questioned Britney Spears and a parenting coach on Tuesday during a hearing into the pop star’s child custody case before ordering a change to her visitation status with her two sons.  But because the hearing was closed to the public it wasn’t immediately clear whether Spears, 26, had won more visitation rights with her young children from Los Angeles Court Commissioner Scott Gordon.  But TMZ.com is reporting that the former pop princess was granted overnight visits.  The Grammy-winning singer’s ex-husband, Kevin Federline, has primary custody of sons Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 21 months, although Spears has been granted limited visitation rights.  And I for one could not be any happier…You go girl.

Amy Winehouse has begun rehearsing for her imminent live performances this the weekend, despite still receiving treatment in hospital for severe lung problems.  The star’s representative confirmed she had started working on her set for upcoming gigs at English music festival Glastonbury on Saturday and Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebrations in London on Friday.  Although a spokesperson insists Winehouse’s appearances at the show’s “looks likely,” she will have an anxious wait for “the final sign-off” from worried doctors.  The “Rehab” singer is receiving treatment for traces of lung disease emphysema at a Marylebone, London clinic after collapsing at her home in the British capital last week.  And despite severe warnings from medical specialists about her tobacco habit, Winehouse shocked onlookers on Monday when she sparked up a cigarette outside the clinic where she is being treated.   I still have her in the death pool.  I bet she will be dead by years end.

“Actress” Heather Locklear, famous for roles on television dramas “Dynasty” and “Melrose Place,” has checked into an Arizona medical facility for psychological treatment, her spokeswoman said on Tuesday.  “Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression,” Locklear’s spokeswoman Cece Yorke said in a statement to Reuters. “She requested an in depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment.”  Yorke said the matter was confidential and no other statements would be released. The story was first reported in People magazine.  Maybe that is why she stars in all those crappy Lifetime movies.
