Trashy Celebs

Seriously, I’m worried.

Could someone get her a sandwich? And some shampoo? And possibly a tetanus shot? But mostly the sandwich because look at the poor skinny girl trying to eat a microphone:

Maybe bring her a nice healthy salad as well or maybe an apple or some edamame. And a glass of milk. And a bowl of soup. And some potato chips because I have a feeling she needs the salt. Then get her to take a nice hot shower and bundle up on a big fluffy robe and eat some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. Then take a nice long nap.

OH NO! WE ARE TOO LATE!

Juliette Lewis

Wow, it’s only Monday and we’ve already hit a big shut the F word wash your mouth out with soap moment. As you probably know by now, there’s a huge stink going around because Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana showed a little back for Vanity Fair. Here’s the pic.

Ok, not the usual pic we’d see of a 15 year-old, but it’s a lot better than some of the hoochie mama stuff I’ve seen girls wearing at the mall. Plus, freaking Annie Leibovitz shot it. I really don’t think she’d be pulling a Vanessa Hudgens on lil’ Ms. Billy Ray.

According to The Guardian UK when asked about the shot Cyrus said “No, I mean I had a big blanket on. And I thought, this looks pretty and really natural. I think it’s really artsy.” It was only after the pictures were released and some conservative morality crusaders lost their mind did she change her tune. Upon seeing them she said, “I feel so embarrassed. I never intended for this to happen and I apologise to my fans.”

And please don’t burn my CD’s in protest, she added.

Last night in Hollywood a bunch of people who I don’t care about went to a bar I never heard of and were apparently seen being cool. Oh and Kanye West was there, I’ve heard of him. West was at a place called Goa last night at the afer party celebrating his Glow in the Dark tour. Absolut 100 sponsored the party. Hey I drink that, well not the 100 but I do drink Absolut Vanilla, it’s tasty with ginger ale.

Anyway attending the party were some people who are on the Hills, Lauren Conrad and Brody Jenner (I think that show is on MTV). Along for the ride were former Laguna Beach alums Kristin Cavallari and Jason Wahler (I just read that I have no idea who they are and I think Laguna Beach was the theme of my high school prom. Pikesville Class of ‘92 Shout Out!)

Oh and ubiquitous Paris Hilton was there but she attended the opening of our cat’s new litter box so that doesn’t surprise me. Anyway of all the images I found from this event (and there were many) this was the most dochey. Here we see Benji Madden and Paris Hilton, I guess they’re dating or something.

What makes this extra douche-tastic is the fact that there’s not one, not two, not three but five photos of him pointing at her like this. I would post them all but I’m too lazy, trust me on this.

Oh and I did find someone I recognized. Scott Porter was also there. He’s on Friday Night Lights and that show is pretty damn good. Although he still looks like he’s dropping some major D-Bag vibe in this shot.

Must be the fact that he got too close to Wilmer Valderrama.

DDDOOOOUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHHEEEE!

From the National Enquirer:

TIME TO QUIT

ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY DEPT.: It’s hard for anyone to imagine gorgeous KATHERINE HEIGL getting kicked out of bed – except for Katherine herself! The “Grey’s Anatomy” beauty’s telling pals she fears new hubby JOSH KELLEY might actually kick her out of their bedroom if she doesn’t quit puffing – even though she’s smokin’ hot! Katherine’s failed several tries to snuff butts for good, but now the stacked smokestack’s trying a controversial lozenge of dissolvable tobacco called Ariva that’s minty and the size of a tic tac. The company calls it odor-free, mess-free, spit-free – and no secondhand smoke. “I really want to stop,” she told a pal. “My husband thinks smoking stinks – and I think it sucks!”

Yuck! You don’t really hear that much about celebrity smokers anymore, do you? In fact, it seems like quite a few of them must go out of their way to avoid being photographed with a cigarette hanging out of their mouths. (Being photographed pissy-faced drunk is another story all together.) I wonder if it’s true that Josh Kelley is considering kicking his new wife out of the bedroom due to the smoke … although one would hope she’d at least step out on the balcony before lighting up. But I wouldn’t blame him if he did banish her to the couch. The only worse smell than cigarette smoke is stale cigarette smoke. Just ask anyone who has tried to wear the same clothes to work that they wore to the bar the night before.

I’m with Josh Kelly on this one. There are a few celebrities out there that I sure wouldn’t kick out of bed for eating crackers, but I gotta say that I would kick them all out for smoking.

So, like five minutes ago, Pamela Anderson (formerly Pamela Anderson Lee, a.k.a. Mrs. Tommy Lee and also the former Mrs. My Name is Kiiiiiiiiiiiid, KID ROCK!!!) married Rick Salomon, professional skeeze best known for holding the camera in the infamous and over-hyped Paris Hilton sex tape. About three minutes into the marriage, Anderson stated that she filed for divorce, then 30 seconds later, announced that no, they were going to work it out. Now at the five minute mark, she has announced that not only is the divorce back on, but Anderson is pregnant. Call me old fashioned, but if I think if you are on the verge of divorcing someone, the best course if action probably doesn’t include having unprotected sex with him.

From TMZ:

Pam to Rick — I’m Pregnant, Get Lost!

Posted Jan 9th 2008 11:15PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned the divorce between Pam Anderson and Rick Salomon is back on and Pam is pregnant!

You’ll recall Anderson filed for divorce last month, but called it off just days later. But sources tell TMZ she is now moving forward with the divorce, even though we know she’s pregnant with his baby.

Salomon has told friends he believes she is “acting crazy” because of the pregnancy and hopes she will settle back into the marriage. Interestingly, in her divorce petition, Anderson asked for spousal support but not child support.

The couple were married in Las Vegas on October 6.

Aw, that is almost enough to make me feel bad for Rick Salomon. Not. But I do enjoy that TMZ points out how Anderson asked for spousal support (does she really need it? or deserve it from someone she has been married to for less than four months) but not child support. Clearly they are implying that the baby isn’t his. I wonder when the tabloids will start speculating on who baby daddy actually is? Will they go on the talk-show circuit? Have their blood tests revealed on Dr. Phil? Or maybe they will go upscale and go with that old coot Larry King. I’m just wondering when CNN will start their special series on the marriage and family of Pamela Anderson Lee Rock and Rick Douchebag Salomon.

I have to say though, that after reading this story and others like it, I am so friggin’ thankful that there are fine folks in our government working so hard to protect the sanctity of this goddamn freakshow of a heterosexual marriage. God Bless America.

Yes, I do think I’m terribly clever with my headline, too bad Tony Romo was just plain terrible yesterday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fans and NFL commentators aplenty are blaming Romo’s performance on Jessica Simpson just for being in the stands wearing a pink number 9 jersey. That’s some powerful p…erfume Simpson has got over Mr. Cowboy since he laid a 13-for-36, 0 touchdown, 3 interception egg lose at home to a 10-point underdog. The even funnier, or more pathetic thing was that the announcers couldn’t stop talking about her being there.

I guess the fact that Terrell Owens was playing his former team and couldn’t catch a cold yesterday and missed about every ball Romo threw at him just wasn’t as interesting. Meanwhile Romo’s old fling Carrie Underwood was spotted dancin’ with Gossip Girl person Chace Crawford.

This photo is courtesy of TMZ who spotted the two flirting at Marquee’s fourth anniversary party in New York last week. I’m not sure who Chace Crawford is and have only mildly heard of the show Gossip Girl but from the looks of things Underwood has moved on pretty effortlessly from the playing of the football man.

As for Tony Romo, our advice to you is to take a good hard look at Tom Brady for girlfriend at game etiquette . You don’t see his current girlfriend Gisele Bündchen or even baby-momma Bridget Moynahan sitting in the stands with a number 12 jersey on. No, they don’t hog the attention of Fox sports nincompoop broadcasters by drawing attention to themselves at the game with their creepy fathers. They’re either not at the game or are chilling somewhere with their friends not searching for attention. Not that I’m telling you what to do Jessica Simpson because I’d be perfectly happy if the Cowboys floundered the rest of the season. I don’t like them much anyway.

Best known for High School Musical, Ashley Tisdale had a rhinoplasty procedure on Friday in Los Angeles, the actress confirmed to People magazine

“Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing,” a bandaged Tisdale told PEOPLE on Monday from her Los Angeles home. “The older I got, the worse it got. I went to get it checked out, and the doctor told me the septum was 80 percent deviated and that I had two small fractures on my nose.”

The recuperating 22-year-old added, “I’m not feeling great today. It’s uncomfortable and I hope this is the only time I ever have to go through something like this.”

Sure you had a deviated septum Ashley Tisdale. Our homecoming queen, my chem lab partner and the Pikesville High School Valedictorian all used that same logical for their nose jobs back in the early 90’s when I was in high school. Based on that school of thought should I go ahead and get my pug Muriel a nose job because she snores even when she’s awake or should I get myself one because I get a bit snooty when the pollen count is high?

Think of the everyday folk Ashley Tisdale. We’re not all High School Musical stars despite not being in any high school musicals. However being a role model for teenage girls, Tisdale doesn’t claim to to be an advocate for plastic surgery.

“I didn’t do this because I believe in plastic surgery. I did this to help my health. I literally almost could not breathe out of the right side of my nose,” says Tisdale, who’s openly discussing the procedure because “I want my fans to know the truth. I’m not someone who is going to act like I had nothing done. I just want to be honest because my fans are everything to me.”

Mmm hmm. Sure. We’re totally with you Ashley, and we’ll be with you when your boobs are too lopsided to be stay up straight and your lady parts aren’t as tight as they used to be. Gross!

From In Touch:

It was the day after Thanksgiving – but Jessica Simpson’s family was more than happy to hold off their dinner so she could return home with her new boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.

The couple showed up at Jessica’s grandparents new home in Waco, Texas, on November 23 (a day late, since Tony had a game to play on Thanksgiving) and received a “hero’s welcome” from Joe and Tina Simpson and Jessica’s grandparents, according to an onlooker. While Tony has denied reports that he and Jessica are dating, insiders say the pair are definitely involved – and they’re getting more serious.

Well, well, well. Mr. Tony Romo certainly has a type, doesn’t he? First it was Carrie Underwood, then a rumored fling with Britney Spears, and now it appears that the leader of the Cowboys is keeping time with the former Mrs. Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson. (As a matter of fact, when I first read about this story my brain read “Jessica Simpson” as “Carrie Underwood” and I thought, “oh, they got back together in time for the holidays.” Even my brain gets the pretty blond football-player girlfriends mixed up.)

But you have to admit, Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson bear a striking resemblance to each other:

See what I mean? I’m not even sure which one is which. Well, I wouldn’t be sure if it wasn’t for the big “Jessica Simpson” printed on the wall behind Jessica Simpson. But still. I hope Mr. Romo is very, very careful about whose name he is using in, uh, more intimate moments, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

Well isn’t James Blunt just the studliest little thing?

Blunt partied with nine nude women

James Blunt has claimed that he once partied with nine naked women in a swimming pool.

The singer revealed the news during an interview with Live magazine, in which he also boasted that he had never failed to satisfy a women.

Blunt said: “I once found myself in a swimming pool in Los Angeles with nine naked models and I was the only guy.”

He added: “But I’d like to think any woman I have known has enjoyed being with me.”

So I wonder if James Blunt has been telling this story since high school. Because it sounds to me a bit like a story that a high-school sophomore who is trying way too hard to convince the seniors who sit next to him in study hall that he really, really isn’t a virgin, no way, really, he has totally had sex with a girl who lives in Canada who he met at Niagara Falls. Because not only did James Blunt “party” in a swimming pool with a woman it was a naked woman. And it wasn’t just one naked woman it was nine. And not just nine naked women, but nine naked women who happened to be models. And there were no other guys around, anywhere. And it happened with some Canadian naked lady models who he met at Niagara Falls, for real guys really!

Somehow James Blunt has gotten to be pretty famous for one song (”You’re Beautiful”). I remember reading somewhere that he wrote that song in about 20 minutes, so you’d think that he’d either not need to make up silly stories about cavorting with nine naked models in order to impress other folks. Or if he did still need to make up a story, he could use his creative talents (and another 20 minutes) to make up a more realistic one. Or, shoot, maybe these nine lovely, naked models will come forward at some point (hopefully they’ve found some robes) and back up his studly claims. Then he can write a song about that.

Either way, I hope he washed his hair before he got into the swimming pool. Because judging from that picture above, Ew!

James Blunt, You’re Beautiful

So there is a word in the U.K. slang lexicon prat which basically means, “fool;” indeed it was originally slang for “buttocks” (i.e. what Heidi Montag is rubbing up against him in the picture below.) Would you like me to use prat in a sentence to make it more clear? Sure! Spencer Pratt is a prat for thinking anyone gives a good goddamn about his little “sex tape.” Does that clear things up?

From the National Enquirer:

Talk about art imitating life! On The Hills this season, the plot-line involves Spencer Pratt being accused of spreading rumors about an alleged sex tape of Lauren Conrad – but in real life, says an inside source, Spencer’s actually got a sex tape of his own that shows him and a few buddies exploring the, er… hills and valleys of some smokin’ hot Brazilian babes!

(Note to Spencer’s fiancee, Heidi Montag: The alleged Samba Land group grope was lensed way before you two became betrothed, but know this: My source says Spencer showed the tape to a Hollywood video editor and repeatedly asked him to spruce it up – saying he might secretly release it into the marketplace while claiming it was “stolen,” a la Paris Hilton, Pam Anderson, etc. The editor nixed the sleazy project, Heidi, so hopefully your betrothed has given up the idea, but…it wouldn’t hurt to ask, right?)

I swear, whenever I hear something about The Hills I always have to go and look it up again to figure out what in the world it is all about. This, for once, is not the fault of the show or the celebrities “celebrities” involved but is actually because I am one thousand years old. For those of you in my age range, I can tell you that the The Hills is a MTV reality show that is a spin-off of another popular MTV reality show Laguna Beach. The Hills apparently documents the trials, tribulations, free clinic visits and shoe-shopping sprees of one Lauren “L.C.” Conrad. Pratt apparently has a place on the show because he is the boyfriend/fiance of Conrad’s roommate, Heidi Montag. Do you even care about these rich people and the show documenting their lives? And did Pratt the Prat get so caught up on having every single mudane moment of his life (brush teeth, wear socks, feed dog, buy milk, fuck
Brazilian hottie, visit dentist) that he ended up recording parts of his sex life as well? Sheesh, dude, sometimes you have to turn the camera off.

So People magazine (among other sources) is reporting that Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen have been on not one but two dates this past week in New York City. They were first spotted in the Gramercy Hotel’s Rose Bar on Monday night and at the Waverly Inn resturant in the early hours of Wednesday morning. This fascinating story has been reported in both the New York Post and the Daily News.

Adding further proof to just how fast the tiny people inside the internet move to make updates to all the important sites, this information has already appeared on Armstrong’s entry on Who’s Dated Who? In case you are not familiar with this site, it is an invaluable resource when you are just can’t get enough celebrity couple gossip from Entertainment Tonight or the E! channel (or for when your cable is out and you are climbing the walls with withdrawal symptoms). For instance, if you go to Armstrong’s entry linked above, you find out that he also dated Tory Burch (who?), Sheryl Crow (his favorite mistake), Kristin Armstrong (his former wife), and Lisa Shiels (who is such a nobody that she doesn’t even have a picture.) The site allows you to vote on the celebrity’s “top romance” and even helpfully provides astrological signs (when available) and little codes designating if the relationship was “dating,” “marriage,” or an “encounter.” Right now Armstrong and Olsen are coded as an “encounter,” but who knows how that will change in the days and weeks to come.

All I can think regarding this story is that Ashley Olsen is such a tiny little slip of nothing and Lance Armstrong is such a big athlete type and I hope he doesn’t accidentally sit down on her in a limo and crush her into the leather seats. You’d never get that stain out!

But what the world really wants to know is “What will Uncle Jesse say?“

This isn’t a new couple alert or anything, but Britney Spears was seen out and about with Dallas Cowboy’s quarterback and new Trashy Celebs poster boy Tony Romo on Friday night. Brit-Brit was in the mood to yuck it up after a child-custody related court appearance on Friday and decided to call up her old pal Alli Sims.

Halloween party weekend waits for no one y’all! According to People Magazine:

The pop star, dressed in a masquerade ball mask, and Sims, first made a quick stop at the L.A. restaurant Ketchup where Romo was having dinner.

“[Spears] walked around the restaurant into the lounge where she met up with some people,” an observer tells PEOPLE. “She didn’t eat or drink …[It] seemed like she was rounding up people to go to [out]. She was very friendly and smiley, in and out.”

Another source says, “Alli was meeting up with Tony and his friends at Ketchup and Britney wanted to come along. Tony and Alli have been good friends. They’ve known each other for a little over a year. ”

Later, Romo met up with Sims, Spears and other pals at the Hollywood hotspot Les Deux where they hung out for a friendly low-key night upstairs.

Spears was “sitting with her friends and Tony. Everyone was just hanging out. Brit was upbeat, really seemed fine.”

Wow, this sounds like a pretty boring encounter so let’s make it more interesting. Back to our headline, Romo ended last season with one hell of an incredible fuck-up by flubbing the snap at the end of a playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks. While Spears allegedly cheated on mega-catch Justin Timberlake causing him to cry a river and move onto Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel and a whole lot of other hotties.

If Spears and Romo were to get together we could create all kinds of fun nicknames like Bromo, Titney and Rears. Also I just don’t like the Cowboys. This year they’re doing pretty well with a record of 6-1. I think throwing Britney into the mix would bring Romo’s game to new heights of shitousity thus throwing a major wrench in any playoff hopes.

We really doubt this train wreck has any hopes of gracing the pages of TMZ. But on the upside, since his recent break-up with Carrie Underwood, Romo sill has Terrel Owens and Spears still has a whole bunch of crazy.

Life missing a big spoonful of crunkyness? Head on over to Britney Spears Watch to find out what our little toxic tramp is up to this week.

Well I know from our referral logs that we have some Carrie Underwood/Tony Romo fans out there, so I thought y’all might want to know the who? what? WHAT? about the status of their relationship. And if OK magazine is to be believed, the population of Dumpsville has increased by one. I hope Mr. Romo remembered to file a change of address form!

As for her semi-romance with Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo, she tells the upcoming issue of Seventeen magazine, “We’re very good friends, and I talk to him pretty much every day, whether it’s a text or whatever. But we were never, like, dating.”

But her friends tell OK! a different story. “I think Carrie broke up with the football player in July…”

Underwood is apparently dating Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, an actor no one has ever heard of who is staring in a show that no one has ever heard of. Maybe that is exactly what Underwood needs, someone a little more low profile. She should be the famous one in the relationship! She is the American Idol, dammit!

And now, sources tell OK!, it seems that her prayers have come true, as she’s just sparked a very new romance with Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, with whom the “Jesus Take the Wheel” singer was locking lips last Friday at NYC club Marquee. “They were canoodling all night and stayed until close,” one eyewitness reveals to OK!.

But Chase and Carrie’s whirlwind weekend in the Big Apple was just beginning. Saturday night, the pair enjoyed a romantic dinner at Mario Batali’s Del Posto restaurant and later a few drinks at Soho Grand, where, according an OK! spy, “they held court at their own private table, kissing and not leaving each other’s side,” all before ending up at celeb-fave Rose Bar in the Gramercy Park Hotel.

Granted, I am an old lady, but I have to point out that Crawford looks a little young in that picture. Like, “this is my first facial hair young.” I hope Underwood asked for some ID. But best of wishes to the happy couple. I’m sure it won’t be long before the media comes up with the cute couple nickname for the pair, although the best I could come up with was “Charrie.” Ugh.

So, yeah, I DVR Oprah every day even though I don’t usually have time to watch it. But generally I at least click that “info” button to check out the topic of the day. For quite some time the description was always “Oprah discusses topics before a studio audience,” but then the cable company got its act together. So I at least read the topic of the day for every episode and I have noticed that Dr. Mehmet Oz has been quite the frequent guest of late. He appears on the show generally to talk about health issues and to answer questions about everything from sex to food to poop. All the important topics! (Dr. Oz is also the author of the popular book You: On a Diet which I have been meaning to pick up.)

But rumors abound that Oprah isn’t just interested in providing the world with answers to common health questions such as “What shape should my poop be?” (Answer: S-shaped) and “I think I broke my penis.” According to the most trusted news source in the world, the internets, Oprah and Dr. Oz are totally doin’ it.

MediaTakeOut.com reports this:

October 10, 2007. Hold on to your horses y’all, this one’s good. One of MediaTakeOut.com’s faithful readers sent in what has to be the juiciest piece of gossip that we’ve seen in weeks. According to the reader, Oprah and Dr. Oz, and frequent guest on her show, have an extremely close relationship.

Here are our reader’s exact words:

I just got word of a blooming clandestine romance between Oprah “Lady O” Winfrey and Dr. Mehmet Oz. Yes, yes, I know, it’s hard for me to believe it too, but all of HARPO studios is abuzz about this. One of my associates from college, who is employed by Oprah herself informed me of the situation. Apparently, one of Oprah’s dog trainers walked in on the two of them locked in a passionate kiss right before a show!!! Now the dog trainer is fired, apparently for not knocking before entering O’s private chambers. But honey, he let everybody know what was up before he left!!

Now, I am not saying this is true, because I don’t want to piss off the most powerful woman in media. But it kind of makes sense. Because Oprah gave Dr. Oz a show on her XM radio channel. And recently she even “gave up” her show for one episode (although she monitored closely from the back) so that Dr. Oz could have a “men only” discussion about health issues. Awfully generous for someone who seems value tight control over her show. Huh.

Who do YOU think is going to be more pissed off about this one? Gail or Stedman? Maybe Gail is pissed, because not only is her girlfriend hittin’ it two rich and successful men while she is still single and has only built a career on being “Oprah’s best friend.” And having seen a few of Stedman’s very uncomfortable appearances on the show, I think he is just relieved to be out of the spotlight. And relieved that now Oprah has some other man’s balls in a jar on her desk.

Now I wonder what’s going on with Oprah and Dr. Robin?

Ok, Britney Spears hasn’t had the best week ever. She’s lost custody of the tots to baby daddy K-Fed, been spied driven’ when she shouldn’t be and has been kicked out of the restaurant at Chateau Marmont. That’s up there in a week of total suckyness. But there’s one thing in her life that doesn’t seem to be sucking and that’s the reason she’s famous - her music.

Sure her tunes aren’t works of great depth and reflection but us here at Trashy Celebs and a lot of other folks think her new single Gimmie More is banging! The video (minus the MTV Video Music Awards train wreck) should be coming soon, but until then check out the song itself.

And it’s not just us that love the song. Gimme More landed in the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Hot Digital Songs chart, having sold 179,000 downloads in its first week of release. That helped the song rocket up Billboard’s Hot 100 this week, jumping 65 slots to land at No. 3 on the overall pop chart, which includes digital downloads, CD sales and radio airplay. It’s also the number one downloaded song on iTunes, go figure.

However this jump isn’t a signal that Brit-Brit is totally back. According to Billboard’s associate director of charts Silvio Pietroluongo, it’s not uncommon for a single to move into the Top 10 on its Hot 100 based on digital sales alone.

So this isn’t Spear’s Umbrella, ella, ella, ay-ay which sold 277,000 copies in its debut week thanks to the beautiful Rihanna. But still Gimmie More is getting airplay on Top-40 stations, where it’s consistently been one of the top-15 performing songs. And it’s also Britney’s best showing on the Billboard chart since her breakthrough song, Baby One More Time, hit No. 1 in January 1999 (although that was back in the dark ages when digital sales weren’t measured).

So perk up Britney, stick to cabs and places that you aren’t banned from and maybe your career still has a chance.
