Sacha Baron Cohen makes a rare out-of-character appearance at the press conference for Sweeney Todd.

He’s a cutie!!!

I know he’s not gorgeous in the traditional Brad Pitt sense, but there’s something absolutely adorable about him. Then again, I’m a total sucker for tall, geeky Jewish guys. What can I say? Isla Fisher is a very lucky girl.

Which celebrity was having lunch with La Lohan in WeHo on Wednesday?

Hint: It’s well-known he’s been sober a long time. Exactly the kind of friend Lindsay needs right now.

Answer is after the jump.

Emma Bunton was walking with crutches and had to be helped up the stairs to “Air Spice” as the Spice Girls departed LAX on Wednesday night.

I wonder if this is going to impact the tour.

We need our Baby Spice!

Scott Weiland was formally charged today with driving under the influence of drugs and refusing a chemical test that is required by law.

Weiland faces a “maximum penalty of one year county jail and a $1,000 fine, and a minimum penalty eight days in jail,” in light of his prior conviction and refusal to take a drug test,” Los Angeles City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said in a statement.

Scott will be in court tomorrow for the arraignment.

Old alcoholic rockers getting DUIs is so boring.

How long until Miley Cyrus gets her drivers license?

Claaaaaaaaaassy!

The newest ridiculous thing Paris Hilton’s hawking is Rich Prosecco, a white wine in what looks to be a gold Red Bull can.

How sophisticated!

My company softball team used to drink wine out of a bag during our games. Like, they actually make bags of wine. With spigots. That was awesome. Our team was called The Swingers. We never once won a game, because the stupid referees decided the winners based on who got people around the bases instead of who was drunker. Otherwise we would have been league champions many times over. Drinking wine out of a bag is way cooler than drinking wine out of a stupid gold can.

Anyway, check out Par-Par’s commercials for the junk.

The walkout worked!!!

MTV circulated this internal memo today:

As you know, we’ve been holding information sessions over the past several days to discuss our freelance and temporary employee benefits. We’ve had many insightful conversations and heard a number of your specific concerns.

As a result of the input you’ve given to us directly through the sessions and your managers, we want to announce the following changes:

· We are expanding our freelance and temporary medical and dental benefits options to include the United Healthcare plan under which many of you are currently covered. This means anyone who is eligible for benefits in 2008 can opt for medical and dental coverage with United Healthcare at the current rate of contribution, or you can elect instead to enroll in the newly offered Aetna plan.

The Aetna plan has certain advantages that may make it the preferred option for many of our freelance and temporary employees. Based on your input, however, we want to make sure that those of you who prefer the United Healthcare plan have that option.

· As a result of this change, the freelance and temporary employee payroll conversion to Cast and Crew has been delayed until February 1, 2008. Therefore, the December 14th deadline to submit your Cast and Crew paperwork has been postponed. We will inform you of the new deadline early in the New Year.

· We’ve implemented a process for evaluating freelance and temporary employee positions for possible conversion to staff positions. This process is currently underway and decisions will be communicated by January 31st, 2008.

Way to go, MTV/Viacom!!!
