Paging Ari Gold

With Britney Spears safely in rehab, there's room for a new superstar in Hollywood, and this guy knows it. He's started the website PagingAriGold.com, a blog dedicated to attracting the attention of fictitious Hollywood super-agent Ari Gold. Googling the term "Ari Gold" produces a sponsored link to his website (although I discovered it while googling Kevin Connolly, so it appears he's branching out). The site has three entries, two of which include his video pleas to Ari and his assistant, Lloyd. I'm fairly certain this guy is joking, in which case it's fabulous (but subtle) humor. If he's not joking, it's even funnier. I've included the videos here.

My, How the Tables Have Turned

Tara Reid enjoys life poolside in Santa Barbara, managing -- at the same time -- to keep all her hair attached to her scalp, not scream racist rants into a video camera, not be in rehab, and not be charged formally with a DUI. We can forgive the cigarette. Lookin' good, Tar-bear!
Update: Sigh. Splash News is being all like "We're running a business here, people." Images pulled on request.

Britney’s Baldening: The Play-by-Play

Anna Nicole who? Man, in all honesty, I have nothing but pure sympathy for Britney Spears right now. I'm done being snarky. I'm done making jokes. Britney. Please get help. Sigh. So here's the run-down of Brit's bald-tastic evening: At 7 pm, she hit up Esther's Haircutting Studio in Tarzana, Califonia. Paparazzi reports indicate that she was crying in her car outside the salon for at least ten minutes before going in. The salon was closed, but she had called someone to open it up and let he...

Anna Nicole Is a Real Person

It's easy to forget that. But this video just acquired by Extra, of a 1993 reunion of Anna with her father, who left when she was two, is really humanizing. She's gorgeous, and she's so excited to see her father -- not crazy excited, just overwhelmingly happy -- and I remembered for a minute that this was a real person who struggled with real emotions, and not the caricature I write about each day. I assume Extra will show more of this tonight. Look out, Entertainment Tonight! PS -- Yeah, I know Britney's been in and out of rehab today. I'll write that story when I damn well feel like it. />It's easy to forget that.

People Who Actually Care About Britney Spears

In all the fun of the Britney Spears Gone Wild saga, it's easy to forget that there are people who genuinely love this girl and who are hurt seeing her this way. Remember her assistant, Felicia Culotta? She goes by "Fe" (pronounced "Fee"). As I recall, she was Britney's mom's best friend back in the day, and was Britney's assistant for the better part of her career. And remember Ruben, the guy who used to run WorldOfBritney.com? He left the site awhile back, leaving behind him a scathing messa...

It’s Alcoholics ANONYMOUS, Jackass

Poor Lindsay. The paparazzi follow her to the grocery store, to the Coffee Bean, to Teddy's and Area, and now they're following her to her AA meetings with video cameras. This is so unfair on so many levels, guys. You can even hear Lindsay saying in the background, "This is so embarrassing." It's not just a horrible invasion of Lindsay's privacy (and I'm torn on where I stand on this -- I mean, she's been working 24/7 to garner publicity for years now), but it's also an attack on anyone who's trying to get sober anonymously at the meetings she's attending. These peop...

It’s Sienna Miller’s Lucky F***in’ Day

She's totally going to get a walk on her Today Show cuss-fest. Because The Sun has video of Kate Moss loverboy/rehab regular Pete Doherty actually injecting cocaine into his body. Warning: I'm totally not kidding. If watching a pathetic British rock star pierce his skin with a needle jam-packed with junk is going to bother you in any way, don't click on this video. /> She's totally going to get a walk on her Today Show cuss-fest.

Kevin Federline: Good Guy or Brilliant Negotiator?

Britney Spears offered Kevin Federline a cool $25 mil to get out of her -- and her children's -- lives for good, and he's turned it down. Depending on whom you believe, this is either because he's holding out for $50M or because he actually refuses to make a graceful exit from the lives of their children. Says one source: "He loves his two little boys, and there's no way he's going to disappear from their lives." Both parties are asking for sole custody of the kids. Federline has proven that he c...

WTF Happened on American Idol Tonight?

Okay, look, I know the audition phase is always a freak show, but tonight was in a class all its own. For starters, on day one in Birmingham, Paula Abdul is trashed. I mean, right from the start. Just out of her freakin' head deeeeeeeeeerunk. Not the twitching-a-little-and-making-no-sense Paula we've come to know and love, but actually-on-the-floor-and-having-trouble- standing-and- laughing-at- inappropriate-times out of her goddamn skull drunk. I suppose it's possible that the sound feed between t...

Rock On, Tara Conner

The disgraced Miss USA -- who entered rehab almost a month ago at the request of Donald Trump, who runs the Miss Universe organization, after allegations of inappropriate behavior surfaced -- checked out this weekend, and gave People magazine some killer quotes. "My life has completely changed, she says. "I'm a completely different person out of rehab. Before I entered rehab I hardly knew who I was. I felt like I was floating and I just needed someone to pull me down. I didn't think I had any kind of...
