“When Miley grows up, she’ll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement”

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke in response to the Miley Cyrus radio interview in which she whines about being snubbed by the band.

Wait-celebs outgrow sense of entitlement?  Someone, tell Paris…STAT!

Okay, so, the remake of Race to Witch Mountain hits theaters on Friday, and everyone’s talking about whether or not it’ll take down Watchmen from the #1 box office spot, and all I can do is just be so sad that any of this is happening.

You see, Race to Witch Mountain was my absolute favorite movie as a kid. Favorite. I wanted Tia to be my sister and Tony to be my brother and I wanted an ice-cream sundae parlor and I wanted all their adventures and super-powers and it was just GLORIOUS. I watched that movie time and time again. I’m really kind of devastated to see it being remade. They’re just going to change the plot and use a ton of special effects and detract from all the simple joys of the original. I won’t be watching it. That is not to say that I didn’t call my agent to ask if I could audition for the role of Tia, because a grown woman with D-cup breasts can dream, can’t she? (They also didn’t want to hear me read for the role of Susan in The Chronicles of Narnia a few years back.)

Here are shots from the premiere — including the flick’s littlest new stars, AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig. I need to talk about AnnaSophia’s name. While we’re at it, I also need to talk about AnnaLynne McCord’s name. Why are we suddenly naming our children as though they’re C++ variables? When did this trend begin? Back in my day, if your kid’s name involved both Anna and Sophia, you told the county recorder to be damn sure to put a space between her names. None of this AnnaSophia crap. In this country, we have spaces between different words for a reason. The English language doesn’t come into your home, Mrs. Robb, and remove the crack pipe from between your lips, so please return the favor by letting us keep spaces between our words.

Phew.

Now that that’s out of my system: also there were Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Carla Gugino, Amanda Bynes, Garcelle Beauvais, Christine Lakin, and Shannen Doherty with a mystery man.

lindsay lohan salon 120309

Lindsers left the Andy Lecompte salon on Thursday with her extensions looking glorious (and perhaps a bit darker?). Samantha followed behind, per usual. They climbed into what the photogs claim is a new car for the duo — I couldn’t quite identify the car, and I’m not going to pay for the stupid rights to post it here, but it’s white and looks really, really expensive.

And the saga continues!

Anna Nicole Smith’s longtime partner and attorney Howard K. Stern and two doctors were charged Thursday with conspiring to furnish drugs before her death in 2007, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. …

At the time of her death several prescription medications — both in Smith’s name and that of her partner and lawyer, Stern — were found in the room.

Officials said prescription and over-the-counter drugs were found in Smith’s system, including three antidepressants or antianxiety drugs. Also found in toxicology testing was human growth hormone and chloral hydrate, a sleep medication, officials said.

Stern, 40, and doctors Sandeep Kapoor, 40, and Khristine Eroshevich, 61, were each charged with eight felonies, including conspiring to furnish controlled substances, unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance and obtaining fraudulent prescriptions between June 2004 and January 2007 — only weeks before the playmate’s death.

Kapoor and Eroshevich were each also charged with obtaining a prescription for opiates by “fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.” Each were also charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address, according to the DA’s office.

All three were charged with one count of “prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict.”

Hells yeah! It’s about time these people are held responsible. Anna Nicole was making horrible, fatal choices, but these people, particularly the doctors, were breaking the law in order to enable her. I certainly hope they make an example of this. It’s the same situation with Heath Ledger — who the hell was prescribing him all these narcotics, one on top of another? It happens day after day in this country, doctors over-prescribing narcotics for people who they must have figured out are addicts. Especially rich and famous people.

As Gawker points out, though, this might be about more than just doing the right thing. The California Attorney General, Jerry Brown, is pressing the case … and he’s also planning to run for governor. Sigh. Whatever it takes, guys.

Howard and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were released Thursday night after each posted $20,000 bond.

Fergie rocked some long, dark, super-straight extensions, and orange neon hooker heels to the March of Dimes event in NYC on Thursday night.

Thoughts?

Here’s a clip of Phelpsy doing his first major interview since Bong-gate — it’s a sit-down with Matt Lauer that’ll air later this morning on The Today Show.

“I had no idea really what to do,” Phelps said, referring to the moment when he learned that a photograph of him holding a bong surfaced in a British tabloid on Jan. 31.

“I knew that I’d made a mistake and made a bad judgment,” Phelps said. “And…I know that when you do make a mistake…you’re responsible for all of the consequences. And I was willing to, you know, accept the fact that I did make a mistake.” …

The 23-year-old athlete said that the hardest part of the ordeal was knowing he had hurt and disappointed, not only his fans, but the people closest to him, as well.

“The contract side of things, yeah, I was disappointed. But, you know, I think the biggest thing is who I hurt the most. Like, if I lost money, OK. It’s not an issue with me.”

Kellogg, which dropped Phelps last month, reasoning that the swim champ’s behavior was “not consistent with the image of Kellogg,” recently donated thousands of boxes of cereal boasting Phelps’ picture to a San Francisco food bank.

As for the night he unwittingly posed for the infamous bong pic, Phelps says he knew most of the guests at the party and there were only six or seven people there altogether.

“It was just a small group and we were just sitting around and celebrating,” he said.

“People think, you know, it’s funny at times” to take an impromptu cell phone picture, Phelps said. “I’ll say that there are a lot of people out there who want to take advantage of any situation they have…I trusted my friends who were there, who they were.

“And clearly they weren’t [trustworthy] people…Sometimes you learn the hard way.”

This short clip just has Phelpsy talking about how he’s gonna get his image back, and he talks about how he’s just going to get back into training, because “I can’t do anything wrong once I’m in the pool.” That’s so, so true, Mikey. In the pool, you’re wearing goggles, and most of that face of yours is distorted by the water anyway. We can, as a nation, focus on what we need to see, and the true glory that is Michael Phelps: your penis.

Seriously though I hate to keep harping on this, but why is this whole country trying to figure out how Michael Phelps is going to rehabilitate his image after losing alllll public trust by smoking a bong, yet no one wants to talk about how Chris Brown is quietly, rapidly and successfully rehabilitating his image after beating up his girlfriend? I AM GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT, FOLKS. We won’t be forgetting around here, no sirree.
