It was announced yesterday that actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s brother Dan tragically passed, and today we’re learning that his demise may have been drug-related.

Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter spoke to E! Online and said, “It was initially reported to us as a possible overdose. There were two friends present and one of them also was taken to the hospital.”

Ok, I’ll give you a couple more words, but really, just look at the picture for a minute.  Doesn’t James Franco make such a dramatic-looking woman?  Like if you gave him some finger waves, he could totally be banging Humphrey Bogart?

This is definitely what looks like another awesome photo shoot by Terry Richardson, and it’s for Candy, a newish magazine that refers to itself as “the first fashion magazine ever completely dedicated to celebrating transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, in all its manifestations.”  In related news, I am incredibly excited for the future.

Ah, the ways of the world never cease to amaze me. If I could have chosen two other people that were allegedly hooking up that surprised me just as much, I’d say like, Jake Gyllenhaal and Lindsay Lohan or something.  Mel Gibson and Heidi Montag.  Totally. Did not. Expect.

But alright.

According to sources, Fitty and Chelsea were spotted acting quite cozy with one another over the weekend in my city, New Orleans, at one of my favorite jazz clubs (Blue Nile, baby), and it’s been unofficially officiated that the two are, in fact, dating:

“It’s been going on [for] awhile. It’s more of a hookup thing — whenever they are in the same town.”

A rep for 50 Cent declined to comment, while Handler’s peeps stated, “She saves all her comments for her own show.”

So, yeah. A bit vague, but it’s Apparently On, though a part of me still wonders if we can expect anything serious from Chelsea Handler, including letting us in on the reality of her dating life.

Am I in the minority when I say that Kim Kardashian, though she wears entirely too much makeup and is hitting the Botox bottle a little heavy as of late, is one of the most beautiful women of our time? I’m thinking not. Not only is her face absolutely gorgeous, but she’s got one. banging. body.

So naturally, I’m going to support pretty much whatever Kim wears. This odd-Mod minidress tunic thing with geometric rose print? Not so great … but Kim could wear a damned burlap bag and make it look hot, so I’m giving it two thumbs up. I’ve a feeling that the burlap would rather chafe after awhile, anyway.

Because no, according to her reps, she was not. The man in the above photo, the one who Gisele is apparently kissing, or about to kiss, is a lifelong friend by the name of Helly Nahmad.

The photo surfaced a few days ago, and naturally the speculation began swirling: ‘Was Gisele cheating on Tom Brady?’ ‘Is this Tom’s boyfriend that Bundchen’s kissing?’ — you name it, it was talked about. However, reps for the supermodel have come forward to, uh, Us magazine and refute all claims that Gisele would ever pucker up for anyone other than a popular American footballer:

Last Thursday, Gisele Bundchen was photographed kissing a man — not her husband, Tom Brady — at the Vogue 90th Anniversary party in Paris. Bundchen’s mystery party companion: NYC art dealer Helly Nahmad.

A rep for the supermodel, 30, tells UsMagazine.com: “This is her friend of 15 years, Helly. Her first New York friend when she moved here.”

Nahmad — who once dated another Brazilian model, Ana Beatriz Barros — is fluent in Portugese and was “the only one [Gisele] could speak to [when] she spoke no English,” the rep continues.

“He is very much part of her close circle of friends. No worries there!”

So there you have it.  Not to mention, would you be puckering up in a wanton way with this Helly dude when you could go home and bang Tom Brady? Despite his dirty-looking Justin Bieber hair, Tom’s still definitely top notch in this case.

Sorry, Hellz.

I told y’alls about the It Gets Better Project over the weekend. So many people, especially celebs, are reaching out in support of Dan Savage’s It Gets Better Project and Kathy Griffin contributed with this vlog over the weekend.

In it she talks about bullying, gay teens she’s met and how there’s life after high school and small-town, small-minded living.

Have you made a video for It Gets Better yet?
