What’d We Think of the VMAs, Kids?

She may not have performed, but The Britney Spears Comeback officially started tonight, at the VMAs. Collecting all three of the awards for which she was nominated and appearing calm, poised, gracious and sober on-stage, it was the Britney we all used to know and love. Some more thoughts as I was watching: So I thought the bit at the beginning with Britney and Jonah Hill was actually really cute. Mostly because Jonah Hill is awesome, also because he called her "Brit-Brit," and lastly be...

Jessica Simpson Makes Grand Ole Opry Debut

Here's Jessica making her first appearance at the country music institution. While her performance was mediocre at best (why do they keep panning to the back-up singers?), even the old-fashioned audience members realized that her outfit was abhorrent ... but they had different reasons for thinking that than I did.
Audience members, it seemed, couldn't believe her costume choice. "I think she should have put some clothes on," one viewer said. While another one responded to how she liked Simpson's performance with: "I loved that new girl, Crystal [Shawanda] – and she was dressed appropriately."
I think Jess looks like a bobble-head doll throughout this whole performance. Like a bobble-head doll from 1984. This is all very sad, Jessica. /> Here's Jessica making her first appearance at the country music institution.

Hot Mama!

Dara Torres, the 41-year-old silver medalist in Beijing, had the opportunity to walk in the Charles Nolan show at NY fashion week on Sunday ... along with her two-year-old daughter. Talk about superwoman! Dude, I would totally kill a homeless man for those legs. And I'm like half her age. I hope my trainer is reading this. Are you reading this, Kristen? This is what I want my legs to look like. Also, I would prefer not to have to work very hard to make them look that way. Can you do that p...

Tommy Lee Jones Is Suing Mad

Tommy Lee Jones is suing the producers of No Country for Old Men for more than $10M he claims he is owed. The lawsuit against Paramount Pictures claims that Jones was promised "significant box-office bonuses" and other compensation depending on the success of the film, which went on to make more than $160 million. Tommy Lee claims he was not paid promised bonuses and had expenses wrongly deducted. The suit says he was paid a reduced upfront fee in joining the film, and that his contract had kn...

More Reports that Pete and Ashlee Are Having Twins

Over the weekend, Pete's pal, hip-hop artist Tyga, told reporters that Pete and Ashlee are, in fact, expecting more than one baby. "They're having twins," Tyga said in an exclusive interview yesterday at a pre-VMA party. "They're really happy." A rep for the couple denies the reports. Pete launched rumors that Ashlee was having twins early in the summer when he told a couple of Arizona radio DJs that he and Ashlee were “keeping a journal for them when they’re born.” Pete l...

Ashlee Simpson BumpWatch

A lusciously lumptastic Ashlee Simpson is seen leaving a makeup store in LA this weekend. You know what I find amusing about this photo? A six-months-pregnant Ashlee Simpson looks, well, about like what I look like normally. Including the little tummy bump. I was talking to a friend tonight about how I am tragically one of those girls who, no matter how thin I get, always has that little belly bump. I could weigh 90 pounds and I'd still have that bump where my stomach is. It's just my a...

Congratulations! You Just Won Eight Olympic Gold Medals! What Are You Going to Do Now?

Michael Phelps? Is going to Blackoutville. HotelChatter reports that Michael Phelps ended his crazy night in Vegas by throwing napkins at the bartender and passing out face-down on the bar. He went in and out of Playboy Club like a swimmer with ADD (went Playboy to Moon, back to Playboy). Lots of his own fishy entourage ... He went to the Mint lobby bar had a shot -- was seen throwing napkins at the bartender and ended up face down on the bar. Hey, at least he was in Vegas and not driving. Remember that DUI he got a few years ago? Hopefully Michael can reign things i...

Jason Priestley’s Gunning for the Lead Role in Cast Away 2

Seriously someone get this kid a volleyball named Wilson, stat. Jason Priestley showed off his new mountain man look at The Human Race's post-run concert in LA. Jason has been clear that he has no intention of returning to 90210 as an actor, although he's hinted that he'd be willing to come back to direct. Are any of you feeling this look or is everyone as repulsed by it as I am? Like, I feel like we need to send a Haz-Mat team in there to save Tiffani Thiessen. Thanks Anthony!...
