Chris Rock Is No Eddie Murphy

chrisrock.jpg Thank God! STATESBORO, Georgia (AP) -- Chris Rock has asked a Georgia court to start paternity proceedings to determine if he's the father of a 13-year-old boy whose mother tried to file a paternity lawsuit against the actor and comedian last month. Now realize Rock didn't have to do this. The court had thrown out the original claim by the mother because Rock is a New Jersey resident. So he could have waited until the justice system finally hunted him down, as they will Ed Murphy, but he...

Joan Rivers Should Die Soon

joan_rivers.jpg I hate Joan Rivers with an absolute passion. She's just worthless. She doesn't ever watch the films that the stars are in, she makes pointless comments, she gets tons of money for having zero appreciable skill. And hey, now someone is on my side! NEW YORK (AP) -- Joan Rivers is being replaced by Lisa Rinna as TV Guide Channel's leading red-carpet host. TV Guide had this to say: "TV Guide Channel is very appreciative of Joan and Melissa Rivers' contributions to the success of our red-ca...

THE TORI ALBUM LEAKED!!

tori_cover1.jpg Oh happy, happy day! My money was on April 5 or earlier, but whatever, I'll settle for April 18. I'll send you over to my friend MK at Popbytes, the only Toriphile to whom even I will defer, for the details and the video for the first single, "Big Wheels." I mean, it's not like I have a copy that I've been rocking out to all night -- that would be stealing -- but suffice it to say that it's been a very wonderful evening in La Casa Beet. ...

Late-Night Links

Angelina Jolie willingly lost her virginity at fourteen, then promptly got a knife and cut the guy she'd slept with. I believe -- correct me if I'm wrong -- that there's a certain species of grasshopper which does the same thing. [The Blemish]

Jessica Simpson is dressing as my seventh-grade English teacher to go to Winston's. That's okay, because Mrs. Crabtree was awesome. She once told a boy in the class to "stop masticating." We still make fun of him for that. [Celebslam]

Christina Ricci takes on the role of Trixie in Speed Racer. "She already looks like an anime creation, so the casting here is appropriate." Ha. [Pajiba]

Meet the next Cindy Crawford. [Grumpiest]

Oprah hosts a panel discussion about the Don Imus controversy -- remember the good old days when that was the big news story? [Concrete Loop]

Lindsay Lohan feels her friends aren't safe without her. Because, you know, then who's paying for the blow? [Celebrity Smack]

If Paula Abdul isn't famous enough to pre-board a Southwest Airlines flight, who is? Oh, right. Sanjaya. [Warship]

The tabs continue to punish Angelina for those People exclusives. [popbytes]

Yes, of course we want to see pictures of Fantasia Barrino's ass. [POTP]

Matthew McConaughey's new girlfriend is 22 years old. Recruiting them fresh out of college, are we, Matty? [Gabsmash]

Pratt is a Prick

0000009099_20060920160602.jpg Seriously I don't know who this Spencer Pratt guy thinks he is but LC is wayyyyy cooler than he will ever be. Remember Spencer, she was the famous one that got you on TV in the first place. From what i've heard your has-been ass has not been able to get in the clubs lately. Wonder why. Here is a telling exerpt from the Spencer/Hedi US Weekly interview. Us: Spencer, did Lauren’s split from your pal Brody Jenner makes things tricky? Pratt: “Lauren couldn’t get into clubs ...

Kate Lookalikes Out of a Job

career1704_468×496.jpg Interesting story coming out of the UK today, I guess the Kate/William split is upsetting more people than we first thought. A group of women who are Kate Middleton lookalikes sat down to give an interview about how upset they were that they were now out of a job. According to these women, who in my opinion look nothing like Kate, they were paid up to 500-600 dollars to pose as the Princess in waiting. One of the ladies shares her upset with us. I'm really sad that the door to my future...

Did Lohan Flood Harry Morton’s Pad on Purpose?

lohan.jpg Well, I suppose it's better than arson. On April 11, Page Six reported that Harry Morton, Lindsay Lohan's ex, arrived home to find his multi-million-dollar pad drenched in water coming from the apartment above his. That apartment belongs to Lindsay Lohan. Page Six reported that Lindsay had faulty plumbing, and Lohan's rep reported that "this happened while Lindsay was in New York." But that was before TMZ was on the case. They actually managed to obtain the incident report from the condo comple...

Paris Hilton Will Get Her Day in Court

paris_orange.jpg Paris Hilton will have to make time somewhere in her busy schedule of drinking, driving and dating a D-list celebrity to actually appear in a court room. Throughout all her legal woes the past few months -- her DUI and then, later, driving on a suspended license -- Paris has managed not to make a single appearance in court. Her lawyers handle it all for her. But an L.A. judge just ordered that a Media Field Day be held on May 4: he's requiring that Hilton herself show up in his court room. P...

Haven’t Had Enough Larry?

lbirkheadr1804_468×578preview.jpg I hate that this is the second post about Larry Birkead but here are some photos from his shoot with OK Magazine. I have to say that he and Danni look beautiful together. I guess he and Anna were secretly engaged. No matter what this is a beautiful child and I hope somebody can get over the hype and actually take care of her. Gay Larry update via TMZ UPDATE: In reference to the National Enquirer stories, Larry tells OK! "Both stories are totally untrue. I understand that's part of the...

Larry Birkhead Likes Boys Too!

birkhead2.jpg So now some guy has come forward saying that he had a homosexual affair with Larry Birkhead (otherwise known as Anna Nicole's baby daddy). I guess he plays on both teams which the frosted tips sort of give away. According to the National Enquirer, which is obviously the best source of news out there, Larry and a model Kerrick Ross had a hot and heavy affair. The two met at a cocktail party in Louisville around mid-2000 when Birkhead was a struggling real estate agent and writer, angling for a sho...
