Amazing Celebs

Crazy ass Jackson family patriarch Joe Jackson has decided it’d be a really good idea to the Jackson 5 back together – with the additional drama of sisters LaToya and Janet thrown in. While rumors of a reunion have been floating around for decades, supposedly the family is pretty close to working out a deal with a production company.

They would all move into the Jackson family home in Encino, California. That’s right, not only do we have Jackson family singing, we have Jackson family midnight pillow fights. Or whatever the hell they do. Supposedly Michael has even agreed to be involved, though he’ll be the only one not moving into the house.

The family is hoping that because Michael and Janet are on board it will clinch the deal. “They feel the timing is right - because Michael is becoming professionally active again, and they believe fans are ready to find out what the family is doing,” an insider told the Enquirer.

“The show will follow the lives of the brothers as they move back into the old Jackson family home in the L.A. suburb of Encino and live and perform together again.”

Michael will continue living in his Las Vegas home but will be a big part of the show… The series will center on the at-times dysfunctional family dynamics of the brothers, Michael’s eccentricity, and the flamboyant sisters, Janet and LaToya.

“Although Michael will stop in and oversee some of the recording with The Jacksons, he’ll be doing most of his singing from his private studio in Las Vegas and then have the tapes transferred to where his brothers are laying down tracks in L.A.,” explained the insider. Jermaine will run the show, but Michael has made it very clear that he wants the last say on the music.” According to the insider, Jermaine is convinced the show will be a smash hit.

[From the National Enquirer, July 7th, 2008, print ed.]

What can possibly go wrong? Frankly, I think they should do it. By most accounts the Jackson family is so messed up that it can’t really get any worse. And only Janet has a bit of a career left. Michael’s going to have to rebuild everything from the ground up. So what have they got to lose? Respect? Already gone. Fame? Gone. Money? Gone. Well, mostly. They might as well see how long they can beat this dead horse.

Now the fact that I take dance classes with Lisa Rinna will have no effect on this posting… unless she reads it and tells Louis Van Amstel to ‘86′ my ass from class!

Harry Hamlin has always been a personal favorite of mine. I mean Clash of the Titans is an all time favorite and only because not just because he was in a loin cloth for the entire film. What I am thankful for about Mr. Hamlin, is even though he has been moving into voice-over work since being voted off Season 3 of Dancing with the Stars, he hasn’t gone the way of Jack Nicholson and THAT man’s shirtless body. I mean I get it: Harry Hamlin is 56 freakin’ years old. He must be so sick of hardcore working out (yes, Mario Lopez I’m talking to you. One day you too will get sick of working out unless you become like Jack LaLanne which is a horrifying thought in itself.), so at least we can see where everything is supposed to go on Harry, which gently reminds us of how sexy Harry is and was back in 1987 when he was named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive.

Now Liam Neeson, 56, here at “Club 55” (ironic) beach in Saint Tropez is another story.

Now I love me some Liam Neeson. High Spirits is like the best movie ever! (Oh and Schindler’s List too!) But I think here is a lovely example that it’s time to stop taking your shirt off my good Irishman. We’ve seen it already in The Big Man, The Good Mother, Husbands and Wives, Leap of Faith and frankly we saw all of it in Kinsey. In the words of Diana Summer and Barbra Streisand: Enough is Enough!

Talk about putting the HUGE in Hugh Jackman, NOW we’re talking! Can you believe he’ll be 40 this October! I’m sure this is still the body he had from the filming of 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but being on the beaches of St. Tropez (with his adopted son Oscar Maximillian) with that body, could change this gay boy from saying ‘Oui-Oui’ in the south of France to having his wee-wee go north in the south of his pants… if you know what I mean.

Britney Spears got a pretty big reward for all of the hard work she’s done straightening out her life. Last week it was reported that Britney was granted some overnight visits with her sons. This past Saturday Sean Preston and Jayden James spent the night at their mother’s home for the first time since she was hospitalized in January.

Britney Spears spent Saturday night with her boys at her Los Angeles home. It was the singer’s first overnight visit with Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 1 1/2, since she was hospitalized at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in January. The boys were dropped off Saturday and picked up around 10 a.m. Sunday, according to a source.

“Britney was very upset after the kids left,” the source tells Usmagazine.com. “She now does not know when she will get them next for an overnight. She complains it could be next week, or it could be three months.”

Meanwhile, Spears and ex Kevin Federline — who was spotted partying in Miami over the weekend — are gearing up for a custody trial, set to begin August 25. Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told E! that a mediation session last Thursday didn’t result in a custody agreement. Federline is seeking sole physical and legal custody of sons Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden, 1 1/2 and wants Spears to continue her current visitation terms. Said Kaplan, “If the existing arrangement was acceptable to both parties … we wouldn’t have to go to trial. But that didn’t happen.”

[From Us Weekly]

I can understand how her boys leaving could be very hard for Britney. I’m sure it would rip out any parent’s heart, but the fact that the overnight visitation is so up in the air must have made the whole experience very bittersweet. If she knew if/when she could count on having her sons again, it probably would have made it much easier.

It’s too bad Britney and K-Fed haven’t been able to come to an agreement in terms of custody yet. Though from my understanding, that’s something that is almost always in a state of flux, at least to some extent. As the boys grow and change their needs will as well. And hopefully over time Britney will grow more and more stable and be able to take a more active role in her son’s lives. It sounds like she made it through a tough experience, and hopefully will get to see a lot more of her boys soon.

It takes a big man to get knocked in the face by an 80 pound girl and keep his dignity. But that’s exactly the kind of man James Gostelow is. Gostelow was assaulted – and by that I mean viciously elbowed – by Amy Winehouse during her Saturday evening concert at the Glastonbury Festival. Gostelow says it was all a case of mistaken identity. A man behind him threw his hat at Amy’s beehive, and she thought it was James. Thus the mad elbowing. But let’s be fair here – the other guy was probably just throwing his hat in the air – or maybe he didn’t even touch it. Winehouse’s hive has a gravitational force all its own.

Mr Gostelow said the incident was a case of mistaken identity. “I saw a hat being thrown from behind me and it hit Amy’s beehive. She looked down, saw me looking up, and her elbow went for me. She caught my forehead, then someone may have shouted something from the back, which is when she went in again.”

Speaking after the incident, Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis defended the star, saying she had appeared to lash out after being touched by a fan. Mr Gostelow, who did not see anyone touch the singer, said he was “shocked” rather than sore. He added that while he was “disappointed”, he had no intention of making a complaint to police.

“At the end of the day it is all part of being at the front and being pushed by thousands of people. It is all part of the Glastonbury experience,” he said. “I’m just pleased I got to see her. She did a great act. Not everyone can say they have been hit by Amy Winehouse. I just want to shake the person who threw the hat.”

[From the BBC]

Talk about having a good attitude. It’s odd though, we’ve heard at least three different versions of what happened. The original explanation was that someone grabbed Amy’s boob. So then you think, “Well who could blame her?” Then it was that someone grabbed her hair. So again, you think “Well it’s probably instinct to react to someone grabbing you.” If you’re generous with excuses. Now it seems that someone threw a hat at or near Winehouse, and she just started beating on anyone who had the balls to make eye contact with her.

To look at the video, it doesn’t seem like anyone could get seriously injured. And she also appeared to be mildly (for Amy Winehouse) drunk. So I doubt she was able to put much force behind her elbowing/blows (depending on which story you believe). Nonetheless, everyone should keep in mind that if you’re willing to shell out a lot of cash for an Amy Winehouse concert, the odds are still 50/50 that she’ll show up, and about 60/40 that she’ll give you a beat down.

Here’s Amy Winehouse returning to the clinic she is staying at to receive treatment for her drug addiction right after the Glastonbury Festival, WENN notes that “Amy appeared worse for wear, and looked somewhat disheveled compared to how healthy she looked leaving the clinic only a few hours before.” Images thanks to WENN.

About three months ago we received so much comment spam for the now-failed E! reality shows “Pop Fiction” that I was compelled to write a story about it. In that case the spam was coming from a public relations firm that thought that a good way to generate interest in their client’s shows was to make obnoxious comments full of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes on celebrity blogs. (Neither the public relations firm or E! responded to our multiple requests for comment.)

People for “Baby Borrowers” left over five spam comments here. They were under different names and all from the same IP address, which was easily traced to NBC Universal. The comments weren’t that obnoxious and there weren’t that many of them so I just sent a warning message to the person’s listed e-mail and asked them to cut it out. We got a few more but not many, and they were on the “always send to moderation” list at that point. NBC is a big advertiser of ours, which also influenced my decision not to call them on it.

Here are the two samples I saved:

Given that people for this show spammed the blog, which creates unnecessary cleanup and generally just pisses me off, I’m more apt to report a negative story about it. A child welfare group says new reality show Baby Borrowers is unnecessarily stressful for babies. Infants as young as six months are separated from their parents for long stretches at a time and presumably overnight in order to teach teens that gee, it’s hard to raise a child. Sounds like a fun concept except maybe they should go easy on the babies and only start with a few hours here and there and give them a warming up period to get to know the teens. But no, they have to stay with strangers for long periods of time or else it won’t make for good television:

The show installs five young volunteer couples in different houses in Boise, Idaho, where they’re stuck minding an infant, from six months to a year old, who’s been dropped off at their door. Three days later, the couple swaps a baby for a toddler. They soon swap the toddler for a teen and then have to take care of a senior citizen.

NBC.com describes the show: “When a real baby appears . . . the nervous, fumbling teens are in for three long, arduous days that make chilling out a distant memory. They must stick to rigid routines, handle the feeding chores, diaper duty and crying jags.”

But nonprofit group Zero to Three claims it’s a horrible idea and is now protesting the show, which premiered last week.

“We’re concerned about the fact that these babies are being separated from their parents and placed with strangers,” the group’s spokesperson, Tom Salyers, told Page Six. “A large body of research says the attachments that are formed between the people who care for them are very important.

“On the first episode, the babies were separated for about 12 hours and were clearly in distress. Typically they will cry and cling and search for their parents, which they were doing. They should be with someone they’ve had the opportunity to get to know.”

NBC has provided 24-hour nanny supervision for the families, and the babies’ real parents are stationed next door with a video monitor. They are able to intervene and help out at any time.

An NBC rep said: “The producers of the show took all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety and welfare of the children participating in the series. The environment was carefully controlled, and the children were properly cared for at all times.”

[From The NY Post]

It’s unclear from that story whether the babies stay with the teens for three full days with just small breaks seeing their parents or whether they stay 12 hours one day, 12 hours another day, etc. This group isn’t saying that babies shouldn’t be cared by people other than their parents, just that it’s important they get to know the people who care for them and have a long term relationship with them if possible. Of course babies are going to be upset when they go to a new daycare or get a new babysitter but you want to make the transition easy for them and not stress them out just to get a good scene.

I am lucky enough to work from home and was able to spend the first year with my son, with help from babysitters and neighbors, but now he goes to daycare. He’s been to two different daycares as we recently moved and both recommend a warming-up period for younger kids where you only leave them an hour or two the first day and gradually go away for longer periods of time until they’re used to the place and the new people.

It seems like with small infants they should have their well being in mind and to have given them time to get used to the new people. That would cost time and money, though, and these shows are all about exploiting even small babies for good television. It’s a decent concept, but since they spammed us and are separating infants from their parents in order to create a TV show, I can’t say I hope it’s a big success. The pictures sure are cute and harmless-looking, though, but it’s not like they’re going to put up photos of crying babies on their website. Damn I fell for that spam, didn’t I? NBC pays us, I should have left it up.

Here’s a clip. I wouldn’t want these idiots caring for my kid.

Thanks to NBC for these photos.

Heidi Montag has the kind of delusional self-esteem that leads people to attempt to (unsuccessfully) take over nations. Just no sense of reality. Which means she’s perfect for reality television. Montag has had a delightfully failing music “career.” Which really is much too strong a word, even with the quotations marks. Her first single “Higher” was laughed right off the internet – as was the home-movie video that boyfriend Spencer Pratt filmed for it.

Despite being not just a failure but considered lower than K-Fed in terms of music credibility (and that’s one of the few positions under failure on the success ladder), Montag has decided she wants to put out a new album – a Christian album, no less. The best response I could think of was something Tina Fey’s character said on 30 Rock: “If reality TV has taught us anything it’s that you can’t keep people with no shame down”

“I have been the most religious person since I was 2 years old. I always felt this crazy connection to God,” says Montag, who identifies herself as “kind of non-denominational Baptist.”

Montag — who just released her latest single “Fashion” and frequently reads the Bible — says she even wants to record a Christian album.

She adds that she once planned on devoting her life to God as a missionary in Africa. She and beau Spencer Pratt — who just attacked Mary-Kate Olsen after she said he had a bad temper in high school — will head there in August to “feed children and help build things.”

Of [Lauren] Conrad’s claim that Montag spread those sex tape rumors, Montag says: “God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I’m going to get persecuted, ya know?”

[From Us Weekly]

Heidi Montag says she’s the MOST religious person? Out of… who?? The other girls on The Hills? Or the whole world? Or ever? I mean, she is the most.

But you know, this all makes a lot of sense. Jesus was really into fashion. In fact He placed a pretty high level of importance on it in the Bible. I think it’s in the book of Chanel. Here’s the problem: Heidi Montag should not be recording any album. End of story. I’m pretty sure you can find that buried somewhere in the Bible if you look hard enough.

Guy Ritchie’s apparently anguished mother, Lady Amber Leighton, has felt the need to address all the tabloid reports that her son’s marriage to Madonna is essentially over. Lady Leighton says that the pair are not divorcing, and go through the normal ups and downs every marriage goes through. And she throws in some absolutely delightful British verbiage that I’m going to steal.

Maybe mother does know best. Despite persistent rumors that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are on the brink of divorce, Guy’s mother, Lady Amber Leighton, says there’s no divorce happening. “It is absolute rubbish, worse than that,” she tells the U.K.’s Daily Mail. “Guy will be furious at me for talking to you, but I feel I can’t just let these reports go unanswered, as they make me so angry and they are hurtful intrusions into their private lives.”

Lady Leighton goes on to say that Madonna and Guy are like every other married couple out there. “Like other couples, they work at keeping their relationship happy and fresh and they are a close and loving couple who have a family to bring up.” Guy and Madonna have been leading what appear to be separate lives, with Madonna planning her world tour in New York and Guy staying back in London, but his mother insists, “That is not a couple splitting up. I’ll say it one more time, they are not getting divorced; the speculation is TT — that’s total tosh.”

[From In Touch]

I was half expecting Lady Leighton to break out with some “Pish posh applesauce” or something. I can’t blame her for being upset – it’s natural that a mother wouldn’t want the whole world speculating about her son.

The Sun reports that Guy has been holed up at singer Sting’s country estate. He was introduced to Madonna by Sting’s wife Trudie Styler. Guy and Trudie have been spotted at a few local pubs, with Guy apparently looking quite somber.

Guy was spotted boarding a flight from London to New York City – where Madonna and the couple’s three children currently are staying – without his wedding ring. There’s been some speculation that he’s going to make one last-ditch attempt to save the marriage – though Madonna’s still not wearing her ring either. Sad as it may be, something tells me there will probably be some sort of announcement in the next couple days.

Here’s Guy Ritchie – sans wedding ring - flying out from London to New York today; and Madonna (equally ringless) looking very sullen outside the Kabbalah center in New York yesterday. Images thanks to Splash.

Mary-Kate Olson was recently on The Late Show with David Letterman to promote her new film The Wackness. While there, she mentioned that she had gone to high school with Spencer Pratt and that he had a bad temper. That’s pretty much all she said (but if you’d like to read what was said, you can do that here). Then, Spencer Pratt went crazy. Here’s what he said about MK to UsMagazine:

“I don’t really get why she’d use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one’s going to see. She should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me. I know I’ve made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman. I forgive her, though. She’s had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough.”

Umm, does he seriously think 1. MK needs him to get attention 2. He’s more famous than MK 3. He’s famous at all and 4. Anyone cares about him? He is such a douche bag it’s absolutely ridiculous. Seriously. I can’t even stand him. I hope MK puts a hit on his head! She can afford it!

I love that Pamela Anderson is so stupid that she would actually call another woman any negative names, especially a whore. Umm, excuse me Pamela, isn’t it YOU that has a sex tape? Exactly.

So Pamela Anderson is a spokesperson for PETA and Jessica Simpson was photographed wearing a shirt that says “Real Girls Eat Meat” (above). Apparently this shirt pissed of Pamela and lead her to say this about Jessica Simpson:

“I think she is a bitch and whore. Actually, I don’t know if she was talking about food or men.”

Wow. That’s a low even for Pamela Anderson. I mean, WTF? Pamela is photographed carrying leather handbags, too. I don’t think she gets that being a spokesperson for PETA means she can’t carry or wear ANY animal products. At least Jessica Simpson isn’t going to be a PETA spokesperson and she’s doing that she believes. Pam is just a slutty old hypocrite.

And Pam, check out these non-whore pictures of you below. Uh-huh, that’s what I thought.

Personally, I think Britney should work her ass off to get as fit and hot as possible and then come back and blow everyone away at the VMAs. I mean, last year in Las Vegas she completely blew it but this year, who says she can’t do it? I mean, with the help of her dad she’s gotten her life back together in a big way. But would MTV allow it?

“Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?” Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music Group, told the Associated Press Friday. When asked if he was just joking, Toffler said, “Sorta.”

“Who knows?” he said.

I wish that she would just make a bomb comeback already and wipe that smug ass grin off Rihanna and Justin Timberlakes faces! Jerks. I say bring Britney back to perform “Break the Ice” or even a new song. What do you think, she Britney get another chance?

Molly Ringwald on Good Morning America this morning

80s sensation Molly Ringwald, 40, appeared on Good Morning American and Regis & Kelly this morning to talk about her new show on ABC Family “The Secret Life of The American Teenager,” in which she plays a mom to two teenage daughters. Her 15 year-old daughter is pregnant on the show, and Ringwald discussed the recent teen pregnancy boom, particularly the case in Glouchester, MA where 17 girls in one school were pregnant that was initially blamed on a pregnancy pact. Ringwald herself played a pregnant high school senior in the 1998 1988 movie For Keeps.

I think [teenage pregnancy] always will [happen]. The best thing that you can do is just communicate with your kids. I hope this show kind of does that. It’s not only about teenage pregnancy, it’s an issue that’s going on, and I think it’s the kind of show that kids and parents can watch together.

[Transcribed from Molly Ringwald’s appearance on Good Morning America, video above]

Ringwald has a four year-old daughter at home. She told Robin Roberts that things haven’t changed that much since she starred in teen movies in the 80s and that the issues of teen pregnancy and drug use are still very relevant today.

They showed footage of Molly Ringwald on Good Morning America from 23 years ago when she was promoting The Breakfast Club. She covered her face and got red and when Robin asked her what she would tell her young self she said “I don’t know, I think she’s ok.”

Molly said her family just moved to LA and that she started playing the ukulele as a hobby after seeing a girl named Julia Nunes play on Youtube. She also admitted to being an eBay addict.

Molly was also on Regis and Kelly and she said the show is a way to let everyone know she’s no longer a teenager. Kelly said she still watches 16 Candles and The Breakfast club.

It’s great to see Molly out in the spotlight again and you wonder what she was doing all this time. According to Wikipedia, she turned down Julia Roberts’ role in Pretty Woman and Demi Moore’s role in Ghost, a decision she’s said she regrets. Her career floundered in the 1990s. She lived in France for four around that time, and did a few b-movies, and some television and stage performances. She appeared nude in the film Malicious in 1995, and on the ABC series “Townies” in 1996, which was canceled after one season. She has had several stage appearances in recent years in Cabaret, Enchanted April and Sweet Charity. She has been married to writer Panio Gianopoulos since 2007, and they have four year old daughter Mathilda together.

Molly Ringwald is shown at the AFI Lifetime achievement award honouring Warren Beatty on 6/12/08.

In a segment on Fox News this morning with Geraldo Rivera they actually showed footage of 20 year-old supermodel Ruslana Korshunova’s body on the pavement in front of her NY apartment. I’m not going to post it here, but I can’t talk about without a link at least, so here’s a link to that video - extreme warning.

At first it looks like they’re only going to show the body bag, which is what CNN usually does and seems a bit morbid but not disrespectful. Instead they showed footage of her face with blood on it as seen underneath an emergency vehicle for over half a minute.

Geraldo says all sensational-like: “These are the last images of her broken body being lifted off the Manhattan sidewalk, where shocked and sickened witnesses watched her smash onto the concrete. This image stands in stark contrast to the fairtale images of the famous face, chestnut hair that made her modeling’s next big thing.”

Then they show her white face from underneath a car and the word “exclusive” flashes on the screen. Just because she was a model doesn’t mean she deserves to have her death broadcast. Great “exclusive,” Fox.

Korshunova is thought to have committed suicide by jumping from her seventh-story apartment. There were no signs of a struggle. She had just watched a movie with an ex boyfriend, who had dropped her off at her apartment. Her Facebook postings may suggest that she was depressed and struggling with a recent breakup, but her latest boyfriend says she seemed happy and he doesn’t understand why she would take her own life. The coroner has ruled her death a suicide.

About a year ago a joke book came out called The Nicole Richie Cookbook. It was sixty some pages long, and each page was blank. Haha, Nicole doesn’t eat. Mildly funny at best. Now what’s a much funnier idea is Nicole Richie actually writing a cookbook herself. Which is just what she wants to do, if you believe her friends that chat with OK! Magazine. Apparently Nicole is just knee-deep in domestic bliss, and wants to share her happiness – or at least her recipes – with the rest of us.

Move over Rachael Ray, there’s another cute cook in the kitchen! The Simple Life star Nicole Richie took up cooking in order to become the perfect partner and mom. Now, she’s gotten so good at it she wants to publish her own cookbook!

“She keeps a box full of recipes handwritten on index cards,” a pal of Nicole,26, tells OK!. “She has mac and cheese down to a fine science!”

But when it comes to whipping up meals for fiance Joel Madden,29, Nicole, who is mom to their 5-month old daughter Harlow, looks to the lighter side.

Says the source, “She keeps things low-fat to help her and Joel watch their weight!”

[From OK! Magazine]

Well yeah, because they’re such fatties. Watching their weight should be a big priority for the both of them. Actually Joel seems to have gone through a pudgy phase or two – as has Nicole, now that I think about it. But they’ve both been looking pretty trim for the past couple years. In fact Nicole’s got it down to a science.

Although celeb ass-kissy OK! claims that the two are super domestic and blissfully happy, People quotes Joel as saying they have no plans to get married. They’ve often been referred to as each other’s fiance (see the OK! article above), but in terms of taking a walk down the aisle, it sounds like Joel would rather saunter the other way.

“We don’t have any plans for that right now,” Madden told PEOPLE on Wednesday. “We’re just happy, and we’re being a family, and that’s where we’re at right now. But marriage means something different to everyone.”

“Right now we’re really happy,” the Good Charlotte frontman says, “and we’re concentrating on our family, and that’s what is making us happy right now. We’re moving at our own pace.”

[From People]

It’s funny because you can tell Joel is just barely holding back from screaming “Don’t rush me!” to the reporter. I think there may have been a “F*#% you” muttered under his breath. Joel clearly had a little line all rehearsed and ready to go, since he basically said the same thing twice. We get it, you’re supposedly happy and don’t want to be tied to Nicole Richie or her low fat for the rest of your life. I’m not sure many people could blame you.

Everyone is still busy speculating over what went wrong between George Clooney and Sarah Larson. The two split up after a year together – absolutely beyond record length for a Clooney liaison. Before that, his longest – and I’m guessing deepest – relationship was with his pot bellied pig, Max. Mike Walker of the National Enquirer has another theory as to what might have gone wrong, and according to him, Ms. Larson got a little too big for her britches in the Clooney household.

New clue in the intriguing mystery of why George Clooney abruptly dumped ex-cocktail waitress Sarah Larson - even after generously buying her new boobs and teeth! The bust-up occurred in part because risqué photos surfaced along with rumors of her fling with an old flame - plus sordid tales of her wild past that freaked Clooney out, as reported by The Enquirer - but here’s a tasty chunk of my very own prime gossip filet, folks:

Word’s just now drifting out from the star’s inner circle that Sarah, who once depended on tips herself as a scantily clad booze-server in Vegas, suddenly started acting like the future Missus Clooney around The Man’s household, cruelly ordering cutbacks to the hefty gratuities Generous George regularly lavishes on his personal staff.

For months, Clooney had no clue about Stingy Sarah’s sly cutbacks, but when worried staffers finally asked one of his higher-ups if the boss had trimmed everyone’s tips because he was unhappy with their work, the whistle finally blew loudly in the star’s ear and he went ballistic - raging that NO ONE had the right to counterman his orders! Just days after Clooney’s shocking discovery, it was suddenly “See ya, Sarah!”

Frankly it seems pretty clear to me that whatever ended George and Sarah’s relationship, I’ll bet it was an excuse. George Clooney does not date women long, and I’m sure he knew that if he went on much longer, he’d be expected to marry Sarah. The gossip was reaching a boiling point as it was.

I’m guessing he waited for the first thing she did wrong, and then gave Sarah the boot. A Clooney relationship isn’t a traditional one where the two people are partners who work together through issues. You get to date George – and he takes pretty good care of you, buying you new body parts and such – for a few months until he loses interest.

As soon as his relationship with Sarah deviated from his tried and true format, suddenly his entire identity was probably up in the air and he started looking for a way out. I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual dumping was because of something relatively trivial, though the idea that Sarah ever had enough control to influence his staff’s paychecks seems a little unlikely to me. Either way, she set a Clooney relationship record, and she left with two lovely parting gifts.

Gender-bending 80s singer and DJ Boy George, 47, was denied a visa to the US as he awaits trial in England on false imprisonment charges. George planned to tour the US this summer and will have to stay put in the UK instead. George has been denied a visa due to a pending trial for false imprisonment charges.

In April, 2007 Norwegian prostitute Auden Carlson, 28, met George on Gaydar.com and agreed to come over to his London place to pose for erotic photos at a rate of $800. Carlson says that George and another guy took photos of him in fetish gear, and when the other guy left George handcuffed him to a hook on the wall, menacingly brandished sex toys and said “now you’ll get what you deserve.” Carlson escaped and called the cops, and it’s unclear if he got what George said he deserved, if he escaped unscathed, and/or if he got the cash he was promised for the photo session.

George will be tried for that case in Britain on November 22. He also has a criminal record in the states after he pled guilty to cocaine possession in NY. Police found 13 bags of the stuff when responding to a burglary call at his place in October, 2005. George said the drugs weren’t his and that a lot of people were in and out of his apartment, but he eventually copped a plea in exchange for community service and a stint in rehab.

Now he’s talking about his inability to enter the US and perform. The flamboyant singer appeared on The Today Show this morning wearing a bright red hat with green applique bugs and full makeup including shimmering green eyeshadow, bronze lipstick and giant penciled-on eyebrows.

Here’s a partial transcript of George’s appearance on the Today Show this morning.

Meredith Viera: “24 concert dates starting today, you’ve got to be frustrated, being denied this visa.”

Boy George: “I’m feeling very upbeat at the moment. Yes it’s disappointing because of the fans. A lot of people have bought airline tickets, so I’m disappointed for them, but it doesn’t happen it will happen in the new year…

I will come back… but I’d love to come now obviously.”

Boy George: I got “so much love” during community service in America
George confirmed to Meredith that he won’t be able to come to the US until he’s faced trial in the UK, and mentioned his community service, saying “I came and swept the streets of New York and did a great job, and as far as my problems in America are concerned I feel like I did a great job… paid my dues.”

George spoke of the love he received from the people who saw him pushing a broom, saying “When I came to my community service I got so much love everyday… apart from the press thing… I was surprised
by how much affection I received… I didn’t feel humiliated I thought it was a great experience.”

Meredith Viera asked him if he’s angry that he’s being accused of false imprisonment and he said “Anger.. what good is that going to do me?”

George says he’s touring in the UK in October and there’s no reason to get upset because he doesn’t have a visa.

Boy George: “The happiest I’ve ever been”
Meredith asked him about a recent statement on his website that he’s happy and getting his life together and George said “I’m sober, I’ve put my head back on the right way… I’m the happiest I’ve been possibly in a long time.”

George said he’s not going to get upset or “have a hissy fit” and that “there’s no point.”

Boy George is shown at the opening of the RS Lounge Club on 6/11/08, thanks to WENN.

Two sports legends are taking the plunge this weekend. Tennis player Chris Evert and golfer Greg Norman are getting married on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The couple have had a bit of wedding drama it seems – at the very last minute they decided to change the location of the ceremony – seemingly to keep the paparazzi at bay.

Australian golfer Norman and American tennis star Evert, both 53, were expected to tie the knot at a sunset ceremony on a private beach on Paradise Island. But the couple, who are reported to have sold the wedding rights, have switched to a nearby fenced off area, to avoid media attention.

A host of celebrities are expected to attend the lavish wedding, including former US presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr., singer Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale, Kenny Loggins and comedian Chevy Chase. Other famous faces who have been invited include tennis players Lleyton Hewitt, Anna Kournikova, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Navratilova and Ms Evert’s former fiancé Jimmy Connors.

Both Norman, whose nickname is The Great White Shark, and Evert have been married before. She has two ex-husbands, while the acrimonious disintegration of Norman’s marriage to his first wife Laura Andrassy made the headlines in 2006.

Well if you’ve got Loggins there, you know you’re made in the shade. You don’t need anything else at that wedding; no décor, gourmet food, nothing. You’ve got Kenny.

Greg Norman had quite the acrimonious legal battle with his ex-wife Laura Andrassy. According to the Daily Mail, he canceled her credit cards and changed the locks on their $36 million mansion. But she eventually got a $100 million settlement.

The Daily Mail asked her for a comment (which I’m sure she was thrilled about) and she responded, “‘I have no wishes for them except to say they deserve each other.’” Ouch. Hopefully the next round will go better for the both of them.

Here’s a file photo of Greg Norman and Chris Evert, along with the One & Only Ocean Club, where may or may not tie the knot depending on their final location change. Images thanks to Splash.

Michael Lohan dropped a bomb on his family – he has a secret love child. Michael claims the girl, now 13, was conceived when he and now ex-wife Dina were separated, thus implying that he wasn’t cheating on her. This is the first I’ve heard of an earlier separation. Michael’s definitely not talking about the separation that eventually led to divorce – he and Dina have 14-year-old daughter Ali and 12-year-old son Cody.

Linds’ father, Michael Lohan, has admitted to OK! that, while married — but at the time separated — to now-ex-wife Dina Lohan, he had a relationship with another woman which resulted in a pregnancy. In a statement to OK!, Michael says, “Years later [the woman] contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child.”

In fact, OK! has seen letters Michael wrote to the girl’s mother where he says that his secret daughter “is beginning to look a lot like Linds, with a mix of [younger brother] Cody, believe it or not.” He also sent his daughter a photograph of himself while he was still in Collins Correctional Facility which he signed “Love Daddy.”

Michael’s secret daughter has had many conversations with her dad, the girl’s mother tells OK!. He even called her for her 13th birthday on June 12. But he has never visited her or provided financial support. “It’s time for Michael to take responsibility,” the girl’s mother tells OK!

Can you imagine finding out that Lindsay Lohan is your sister? I would throw up so hard. This poor girl has obviously known for a little while, since Michael got out of prison a little over a year ago. Though he never specifies how long ago the girls’ mother contacted him, so who knows how long this girl has had to grow up knowing she’s genetically linked to the Lohan clan.

I have to wonder if the other Lohan children were informed before Michael dialed up OK! You’d think Dina would have used it against him publicly by now, had she known. So I’m guessing this is brand new information for most of them. I can only imagine what the first family picnic will look like. I imagine it’ll involve fried chicken, alcohol, and tears.
