A few months ago, there was this nasty little rumor floating around that True Blood actor Alexander Skarsgard was dating Evan Rachel Wood.  Rabid True Blood fans flooded my mailbox with inquiries about it, begging me to tell them it wasn’t true.  I wasn’t sure one way or the other, but I have a sneaking suspicion that she’s back with Marilyn Manson even though he thinks of smashing her head with a sledgehammer every day.

Saturday night Skarsgard won Best Villan at the 2009 Scream Awards and was given his statue by Kate Bosworth.  Based on their body language as well as being seen together later in the evening, I’d call this a “dating confirmation.”  The media is calling this a brand new relationship, but I found photos of them (apart, not together) at LAX on the same day at the same time taken back on August 3rd.  Could it be that these two found a way to fly under the radar in the early days of getting to know one another?  Russell Brand and Katy Perry:  Take note!

I like these two together!

I can’t believe I’m about to ask this, but can we please discuss Beyonce and her history with southeast Asia?

Two years ago, Beyonce cancelled a scheduled performance in Malaysia because she wasn’t willing to put some clothes on.  The Malaysians have rules and she wasn’t willing to pay respect to a nation’s culture by putting on a shirt.  She ended up performing for those progressive Indonesians instead.

A few weeks ago, Beyonce said that she’d be performing in Kuala Lampur as part of her “I Am” tour — should be the “I Am A Liar” tour.  The concert promoter has announced that her performance has been “postponed to a future date to be announced shortly.”  In other words, this show is never going to happen because Beyonce still won’t robe up and obviously thought she could change the mind of an entire government body.

I think it’s high time that B accept the facts:  Malaysia isn’t ready for your jelly.

I must tell you, I’m still rooting for Whitney Houston.  Her vocals aren’t a fraction of what they used to be, but I’m hoping that they’ll rebound with time and use.  The bottom line is this:  I’m a sucker for a down-and-out celeb who rebounds and triumphs over the evil of addiction or abuse.

This weekend Whitney performed on the U.K.’s X Factor and again, she wasn’t sounding so hot.  What I admire is how unflappable she is.  Her dress came apart — the first strap goes “boing!” at about two minutes — and she just kept on.  Even when the second strap broke, she performed.  And I admire that.  (I think of Ashlee Simpson when her lip-synch track went haywire on Saturday Night Live.  She Irish danced off the stage leaving her band to sit there.  She will never be at Whitney’s level.)

Her level of class and professionalism just impresses me.  It even helps me overlook the fact that she had no idea of her album’s U.K. release date (that part is at the end).  It’s okay, Whit … you’ll get there.

Where The Wild Things Are was the top movie of the weekend.  I know this because the Internet tells me so, but I also know this because I took my kids to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (stupid!) yesterday and there was a huge overflow of pre-teen brat-monsters that filed in at the last minute because Where The Wild Things Are was sold out.  Incidentally, — and if you are Facebook friends with me, you already know this — tickets for two adults, two kids, two small popcorns and a bag of M&Ms was 60 bucks.  Sixty.  Dollars.

Anyway, it was surprising that WTWTA pulled in $32.4M and the other big, premiere movie, Jamie Foxx’s Law Abiding Citizen only posted sales of $21.2M.

Here’s the weekend stats, and you’ll notice that Drew Barrymore’s Whip It has already careened off the top ten list.  Crash!

It’s not in writing yet, but it seems that Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have reached an agreement that they both can live with in the event of their likely their eventual a divorce.  A deal should be signed this week.  Let’s get this marriage legal!

The exact terms aren’t being disclosed, but TMZ reports that KK won’t have claim to the money that Lamar earns during their marriage.  She will be entitled to an annual lump sum and a pricey little shack that Lamar is purchasing.  Sigh … isn’t it romantic once all the assets are assigned?

If you can believe it, Stephanie Pratt was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Sunday morning, after leaving a birthday party for Holly Montag.

Stephanie has a history of issues with drugs and alcohol abuse. When she first joined the cast of The Hills, it was after a stint in rehab, and she was, at the time, very vocal about how she’d been sober since she was 20 and she took her sobriety very seriously. And I thought to myself, “You know what would help her take her sobriety even more seriously? Fame and money, probably.”

Earlier that night, she tweeted the following:

its my sissy @hollymontags bday party! just finished dinner and going to Empire but im pretty tired aka yes i am the party pooper :(

Ha ha that was around 11 pm. Her DUI was at 3:45 am. So clearly she wasn’t too tired to keep drinking for the next four and a half hours or so.

You know, I think she was probably perfectly clean and sober until they put her on painkillers for all that facial plastic surgery. That was probably her downfall.

Anyway, pics from Holly’s bday par-tay — immediately before the DUI — are in the gallery. Enjoy!
