Over on Page 6 (and wouldn’t THAT count as a tabloid?) ole Joan Collins had some shit to stir about our gossip-driven society. Check out her spiel below:

April 15, 2008 — JOAN Collins says we’re turning into a world of idiots - and she thinks the celebrity magazines are partly to blame. “Our civilization has become extremely dumbed down, with shorter attention spans. All they want are sound bites,” the 75-year-old diva, who famously played super-bitchy Alexis Carrington on “Dynasty,” tells BlackBook’s Steve Garbarino. “The tabloid magazines are the same every week. People has the same cover as InTouch as OK! as Us Weekly as Star magazine. They’re exactly the same! It must be 100 to 120 people you read about all the time.” But why? “They are appealing to a young audience, or a rather dumb audience,” Collins theorizes. She adds that the magazines “go after those girls who exhibit more outrageous behavior. And, believe me, those girls love it. They call in items themselves - that they were at Nobu, some nightclub in SoHo. I can’t think of anything more horrible than that. Publicity can be a drug.”

Tell me something: would Joan Collins still even be barely relevant anymore if it wasn’t for tabloids and gossip columns? I mean, what has she done in the last five, ten years? I had to look it up … she’s done some stunt casting on a few sitcoms, did some theatrical tours with other faded stars (George Hamilton and Stacey Keach), did a show called A Night With Joan Collins detailing the “highs and lows of her roller coaster life” (hmm, sounds a little gossipy to me) and did he show Legends with former co-star Linda Evans (and talked all about how they don’t get along and how she won’t ever work with Evans again — that sounds ULTRA gossipy to me.) Hnmm, Joanie, would you even be popular on the red carpet if it wasn’t for some bitchy behavior in the not to distant past? Let’s face it, Joan Collins is famous for being Joan Collins, just like Paris Hilton is famous for being Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan is famous for being Lindsay Lohan, and Brandon Davis is famous for being Greasy Bear.

And if you wanna talk about trash, then what about those books her sister, Jackie Collins, writes. Lovers and Gamblers? The Bitch? Dangerous Kiss The Hollywood series? I mean, I don’t have anything against trashy novels, but c’mon, Joanie. You know your sister isn’t Eudora Welty.

Ok, I must admit the new Madonna song 4 Minutes to Save the World is growing on me. And it must be growing on Hannah Montana (aka Miley Cyrus as well). The pint-sized M released a parody (?) of 4 min along with some other tween friend of hers. At least it starts off as a parody with ninjas and them trying to save the world possibly from their grandma’s living room. But then all these professional looking step dancers come out and make it mildly fierce. It looks like something my friend’s and I would have tried to do when we were 13 that is if we were multi-millionaires with an ex-mullet head for a dad. Check it.

Jay Leno was practically bouncing in his seat the other night as he brought up guest Ryan Phillippe’s first acting job as a gay teenager. After the gay acting past dust had settled, Mr. ex-Reese Witherspoon told Leno that the soap the part was on, One Life to Live was his mother’s favorite show. That’s when Leno launches into some schpeal about how weird and hilarious it was that he played a gay person while Phillippe reasonably tried to shift the conversation to the larger issue of how weird it was to be on a soap opera.

But it ain’t over there kiddies. Leno then asked Phillippe to pretend the camera was his gay lover and to give it his “gayest look.” But I’m giving away all the good parts. Check all the homophic hilarity below.

To borrow a joke from Best Week Ever, we think Phillippe should have just shot back “Jay Leno? More like GAY Leno!” Maybe Leno would like to go back to a simpler time in the 80’s when it was still kosher to make fun of gay people and Carson was still the host of the Tonight Show.

Attention, Trashy Celebs readers! Douche alert. I repeat, Douche alert. There is a douchebag in the vicinity. Please remain vigilant. Do not panic, but do not let your guard down. This is not a drill. Douche alert.

We haven’t utilized our “Douche of the Week” category in a little while, but boy do we have a doozy for you this week. John Gibson, a Fox News Host whom I have never heard of, mocked the death of actor Heath Ledger on his radio show, just hours after the actor was found dead in his apartment. An the mockery all seemed to be related to Ledger’s most famous role, as Ennis Del Mar, a closted gay man, in Brokeback Mountain. Listen to the audio below:

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that even adult, educated journalists would still resort to using their time on national airwaves, their time on the microphone when they have the opportunity to inform the world of news, to shape thoughts, to express opinions, to promote discourse, would take that time and waste it, pervert it, with such bullshit as this. What place does this sort of brute insensitivity have in the “news?” How is this enriching anyone, informing anyone, giving us thoughts to agree with or disagree with in an intelligent, civil manner? This is not making fun of a celebrity for doing something stupid in public or saying something dumb or marrying a third or fourth spouse. This is mocking the tragic death of a human being, and all because he played the role of a gay man in a movie.

I don’t care of John Gibson doesn’t like gay people. That’s his business, not mine. I don’t care if he doesn’t like Heath Ledger as an actor. I don’t care if he even saw Brokeback Mountain. I don’t care if he once met Heath Ledger in a grocery store and Ledger grabbed the last gallon of milk from under Gibson’s nose. Whatever Gibson thinks personally is up to him and none of my business. But when he sends these cruel and callous thoughts over the airwaves, with no apparent thought for Ledger’s grieving family and friends, for his little two-year old daughter who no longer has her father, then that just sickens me. And when his words imply “just another dead drug addict, just another dead weirdo, just another dead faggot“, well that not only sickens me, it makes me angry.

I know Ledger’s family is not reading this. But if they were, I would want them to know that most people out there are very saddened by their loss, are feeling this loss themselves, and are very sorry that cruel people like this are making their grief worse. I would want them to know that this cruelty is definitely the minority and that I feel hearts all over the world are going out to them, and especially to little Matilda.

Congratulations, John Gibson. You are a first class, A-one, all-star douche.

And don’t even get me started on Fred Phelps.

He’s young, he’s talented, he’s one of the hottest celebrities out there, and even lesbians want to make out with him. And, you might note, he’s not married. Or even engaged. So why are Star Magazine readers all up in his business then?

Star Exclusive: Justin Timberlake Caught Kissing Kate Hudson! Star Readers To Justin: You Cheated!
When Jessica Biel is away, Justin Timberlake will play!

And that’s exactly what he did on Jan. 11 when he was caught kissing Kate Hudson at Hollywood club Villa.

Meanwhile, Jessica — whom Justin has been dating for much of the past year — was on the other side of the world in London filming a new movie.

“They seemed to be so into each other. Kate was batting her eyelashes, laughing hard and touching her mouth a lot — all the usual come-ons,” an eyewitness tells Star.

But as the party began to wind down, Justin and Kate heated up! Although reps for both deny the hookup, the eyewitness says Justin went in to kiss Kate — and it was some liplock!

So did Justin cheat on Jessica? Considering 95% of Star readers polled said they feel a lip-locking kiss is cheating, we’d say yes!

Aw, really, who cares who Justin Timberlake is kissing these days? I sure don’t. All I care about is that he keeps coming up with sweet dance tunes like “SexyBack” and “What Goes Around Comes Around” for my iPod and keeps looking pretty, and occasionaly shows up to make a fool out of himself on Saturday Night Live.

Besides, everyone knows that it ain’t going to last with Jessica Biel. Shoot, even Jessica Biel knows that. She’s just not enough of a celebrity for him, just like Cameron Diaz. The only way a relationship of Justin Timberlake’s is going to work out is if he dates someone as famous as or more famous than he is …. like Britney Spears before she lost her goddamn mind. He probably could have made it work with Christina Aguilera, but he missed his chance on that one. Kate Hudson isn’t famous enough either, so she probably won’t get much past kissing him in a club. Even Janet Jackson gave it a shot, but she only ended up showing her boob to the world, while he walked away with free Super Bowl tickets. The way things are going now, the only female celebrity that seems famous and powerful enough to date Justin Timberlake is Oprah herself. Watch out Stedman!

I hope Kate Middleton isn’t reading this, or her Christmas surprise will be ruined. The Sun apparently has an inside track on what Prince William purchased for his girlfriend for Christmas, and, of course, has decided that it is inadequate.

CHEEKY Prince William has bought girlfriend Kate Middleton a pair of FAKE diamond earrings for Christmas.

Mega-rich Wills picked up the bling during a last-minute shopping trip.

The future king — helped by a female friend, a personal shopper and his protection officers — spent more than an hour at Selfridges on London’s Oxford Street.

Wills, 25, snubbed posher jewellery and opted for the white gold earrings with cubic zirconia stones by British designer Dinny Hall.

If they had been set with real diamonds the earrings would have cost more than £10,000. But Wills’s gift set him back just £410.

A Selfridges source said: “William walked round with a female friend and looked at lots of earrings for Kate.

“But whenever he picked out something, his friend would say, ‘No, William - I don’t think so’.

“Like any other bloke, he didn’t seem to know what he wanted and spent time at lots of different counters.”

Less than an hour earlier Wills had said goodbye to Kate, 25, as she flew with her family to Barbados for Christmas.

But she is due home on Thursday and is expected to spend New Year with Wills.

I’m not sure what about this purchase makes Prince William ALLCAPSCHEEKY but then again, I am not British. And you just know that if the Prince had dropped a cool $10K on a gift for his girl, then The Sun would have been all up in his grill about how he throws his money around frivolously. The boy can’t win.

Or maybe I just don’t understand because I’m not a girl who likes fancy jewelry. I’ve been wearing the same silver hoop earrings for over five years. Give me books or electronics or a Home Depot gift card and I’m happy. (See previous entry re: buying a house.) And according to the article, Prince William spent over an hour picking the gift and had a friend along to make sure he got it right …. and I’m sure that Kate will appreciate that more than anything.

Or just maybe, along with those earrings, he’s going to give her a Wii, an iPod, a Macbook Pro, and a private island. Those earrings may just be a stocking stuffer, you know?

According to the article on JAM! Showbiz, Johnny Depp likes to keep his private life private. That’s not too surprising …. I think we all knew that about him AND agree with him. I like to keep my private life private. My cats like to keep their private life private (except when they are licking themselves in their special areas in the middle of a dinner party.) Yeck, everone keeps their private life private …. except maybe Britney Spears.

But Depp takes it a step further. He doesn’t care about other people’s private lives. That is just madness! This is what he said about it:

“I don’t want to be a product,” he says. “Of course you want the movies to do well. But I don’t want to know … who’s hot now and who’s not and who’s making this much dough and who’s boffing this woman or that one. I want to remain ignorant of all this. I want to be totally outside and far away from all of it.”

Come on!! Everyone likes to get up in someone else’s business every now and then. Everyone is at least curious about a celebrity’s love life or family like or what is in his or her friggin’ refrigerator. Everyone at least reads the headlines on tabloids while standing in line at the grocery store to pay for milk and frozen pizza. Yes, I bet even Johnny Depp does that, whether he admits it or not.

But I guess if Johnny Depp isn’t here reading this and since he has no plans to come here and read this, then we can talk about him without him knowing. So I bet Johnny Depp has really bad morning breath. I bet he sometimes annoys his girlfriend by eating cookies in bed and brushing the crumbs onto her side. I bet he doesn’t clean the hair out of the drain trap after he takes a shower. I bet he flips away from whatever show they are watching and doesn’t turn back before the commercial is over. I bet he leaves half full coffee cups all over the house. I bet he leaves the toilet seat up. And I bet he watches Entertainment Tonight all the time.

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!

Entering its fourth day, the WGA strike is showing no signs of quitting. Some uber-cool people like Tina Fey, Jon Stewart and Matt Groening are taking to the picket lines along side their writers. And then there’s Ellen Degeneres who showed up to tape Fridays show apparently willing to rely on her own witty rambling banter with no help from writers. Here’s an advanced copy of the transcript.

“I’ve got to say this is a strange show for me to do. This is weird. Weird. It’s a weird show. Channeling Johnny Carson all of a sudden. [Imitates Carson] “Very Weird. Weird. Weird.” Here’s what the deal is. It’s ’sweeps’, which is a very important time in television. That’s when you do your best shows, your funniest material, you pull out all the stops and you’re doing everything you can because you want everybody watching. Now at this moment, we’re in the middle of this strike. There’s a writer’s strike going on, and here in Los Angeles it’s a huge story. I don’t know where you live, but it’s a huge story in Los Angeles. I want to say I love my writers. I love them. In honor of them today, I’m not going to do a monologue. I support them and hope that they get everything they’re asking for. And I hope it works out soon. In the meantime, people have traveled across the country. They’ve made plans. They’re here. I want to do everything I can to make your trip enjoyable and give you a show. Otherwise you’d just be wandering around and circling Bob Hope Drive.

Oh Ellen, always thinking of people you’ve never met over talented folks who work to keep your brain moving on a parallel line day after day. Or maybe Portia just wants her out of the house because she can’t handle her constant chatter either. I imagine time at home goes something like this:

An ex-mistress of Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs revealed oily details of his extremely exorbitant lifestyle to the UK’s Sunday Mirror. Nai Bacha who met the singer last year in Toronto tells of his crazy appetite for parties and long-lasting boink-fests that involved a whole mess of baby oil. Oh and also how Diddy cheated on the mother of his twins, Kim Porter, before and after she gave birth. We wonder if J-Lo would have put up with that noise?

Nai says: “Sean’s life has to be seen to be believed. He calls himself The King - and even Prince Charles cannot be any more demanding than he is. He has a cast of thousands to ensure his life is perfect. They hang on his every need - he has one man just to pour his drinks, one to cut his hair and shave him…and two entire teams to look after his jewelery and clothes.”

She goes on to say “Sean knows how to take care of his lady. We had the most amazing sex ever. He loves baby oil all over his body. He’s the most amazing sensual lover I’ve ever had.”

We’re guessing he applies the baby-oil himself but Nai did go into details about the insane amount of everyday things Puffy’s, yeah I called him Puffy, staff does for him. In fact he’s so obsessed with grooming that he has his own personal barber that travels with him. “That’s the only man on the planet who can trim his hair or give him a shave. Sean never shaves himself.” But that’s just the beginning. He has a whole team devoted to P-dressing him that care for a traveling wardrobe of 80 suits that are laid out for inspection every night.

Nai says: “Sean is always immaculately dressed and that takes military precision. He has one guy in charge of his wardrobe, another who’s responsible for putting different outfits together. When he came to London he had wardrobes filled with suits. There were about 80 from the biggest designers in the world - but only in black or white. The cheapest cost about £2,000. (almost 4,000 bucks if you were speaking American).

“Then there’s his cook Diane, who is on call all day and night. It might be 6am and he’ll want porridge. Diane is always on standby ready to make a perfect bowl.”

Diddy also pays a team of aides with absurdly specific jobs. “There was someone whose sole job for the day was to mix Sean’s favorite cocktail, Patron Silver tequila with ice,” says Nai. “He wasn’t allowed to make drinks for anyone else. Sean also has someone whose only job is to play his own records wherever he goes. I never heard him listening to anyone else’s music.”

Nai goes on with a butt-load more details about what kind of gum he likes (fruity, not minty) and how he always has to have Heinz Ketchup (not Catsup, that’ll get you slapped) on hand.

Apparently this big insight into D’s personal extravagance was brought on because he’s been oiling up actress Sienna Miller. Nia was on hand while Diddy, Miller, his barber, Ketchup provider and whoever else dinned at exclusive London restaurant Cipriani.

“Throughout the dinner he was fork-feeding Sienna from his plate. They were baby-talking each other, ‘baby this and baby that’.

“They were really flirty and I felt disrespected. It was obvious what was going on. You could see the body language. I just sat there and thought, ‘How can this be happening?’ What really shocked me was when Sienna said to Sean, ‘Oh baby, are you getting all oiled-up and s***?’

“He was like, ‘Oops’. I thought using baby oil was our little secret - but I guess not.”

But according to Nia, Diddy and Miller were arguing later in the evening. So her hopes of being his future Ipod carrier are still a go.

Poor, poor Katherine Heigl. She’s had a tough month. Not only did an announcer mispronounce her name during the Emmy Awards broadcast, but she has to wear invisible fancy braces AND she has to shop for a gosh-darn wedding dress. Life is rough for the actress who stars in Grey’s Anatomy AND who was named on of FHM’s “100 Sexiest Women in the World” not once but twice.

Why doesn’t she just get married in her Emmy dress and save some cash?

Katherine Heigl sure looks like she has a great smile but it turns out the picture perfect blonde wears Invisalign clear invisible braces! “I got them because of this wonky tooth. I was like, ‘OK, I can’t take it.’ It’s awesome because every two weeks you switch to a new retainer,” the Grey’s Anatomy star explains in the October issue of In Style. “Pretty much the perfect way to describe Invisalign is Netflix for your teeth.” Heigl also talked about finding a gown for her upcoming wedding to fiancé Josh Kelly. “My sister is getting married too, so we looked for dresses together. After about five stores I was like, ‘I’m done.’ Everyone says, ‘You just know when you put that dress on.’ My sister found the right dress just like that. So I know it can happen. But it’s grueling.”

The Emmy winner will have some help planning for her big day, she reveals. “I hired a planner. I want it to be fun. And I don’t want to freak out or stress.”

Katherine needs to look on the bright side. She’s best friends with a Power Gay, she’s about to marry a singer that no one is ever heard of, and she might even get named one of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World again.

And besides, I’m sure all the orchard workers, truck stop waitresses, and telephone customer service representatives have lots of sympathy for her grueling schedule of wedding dress shopping.

So it seems that 50 Cent has lost the much hyped yet still boring “sales battle” with rapper Kanye West. This week, West’s album Graduation sold 957,000 copies to 691,000 copes to 50 Cent’s Curtis.

Fifty, who is planning a world tour for his album, was conciliatory in defeat. In a statement to the AP, which didn’t address whether he planned to make good on his vow to retire, he said: “I am very excited to have participated in one of the biggest album release weeks in the last two years. Collectively, we have sold hundreds of thousands of units in our debut week. This marks a great moment for hip-hop music, one that will go down in history.”

I wouldn’t worry too much about Mr. Cent though, folks. Not only is he hanging out with superduo Justin Timberlake and Timbaland …

Ah what to do when you’re about five years past being relevant, have a lot of pent up hostility and completely full of nonsensical suckitude? Lash out at the gays of course. For some reason someone interviewed Ja Rule about what he thought about the upcoming Congressional Meeting on Hip-Hop. The newly crowned king of Doucheyness took the opportunity to go on a little rant about MTV and gays. From sohh.com:

We need to go step to Paramount, and f–king MGM, and all of these other motherf–kers that’s making all of these movies and we need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these f–king shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can’t watch this sh-t,” he continued. “Dating shows that’s showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let’s talk about s–t like that! If that’s not f–king up America, I don’t know what is.”

Now we’re not sure what Ja thinks it takes to f-up America but we’re pretty sure a some tanked-up bisexuals isn’t it. And just to make a point, lyrics from Ja’s 2003 release Niggas and Bitches:

Niggas! Grip the iron and keep it cocked
Bitches! Work your clit keep that pussy hot
Cause it’s all about sex, money, and murder
Bitches that burn ya, niggas with burners
Cocked and let go!

Yeah, judging from that I’m thinking Ja Rule should jast rule out speaking in public again.

I’ve witnessed some bitter breakups, but damn, this one takes the country music cake.

Country star Sara Evans’ husband is asking the singer in a court filing whether she was romantically involved with nearly a dozen people, including Kenny Chesney, Richard Marx and former “Dancing With The Stars” partner Tony Dovolani.

The 118-page document was filed Tuesday in Williamson County chancery court as part of Evans’ divorce from Craig Schelske, according to The Tennessean newspaper.

It asks Evans to state under oath and penalty of perjury whether or not she admits to “an affair/sexual relationship/romantic involvement” with Chesney, Marx, Dovolani or any member of her band. It also seeks to find out if there was any relationship with Brad Arnold, Matt Roberts, Todd Harrell or Chris Henderson — all members of the group 3 Doors Down.

The questions are included in a document used to obtain information from opposing parties during legal proceedings.

Evans has not yet responded, and the court filing provides no evidence that she had relationships with any of the named people.

That’s harsh. Not only is he accusing her of cheating and not only is he naming names, but he’s submitted a list of names, basically using the court system to call his wife a hussy. And on top of that are the people he’s accused her of sleeping with. Richard Marx (who had the most spectacular mullet in the early 1990s), Kenny Chesney (the former Mr. Renee “PinchyFace” Zellweger) and all three members of the mediocre alternative radio band 3 Doors Down.

Jeez, you douche. If you’re going to accuse your wife of sleeping around, at least choose partners that will help her further her career, so she can pay that palimony you will undoubtedly sue for next. Why don’t you just be a man and save some time and money and go get drunk with your friends and punch a wall.

Isn’t it cute when older celebrities try to be all cutting edge and try to imitate younger, hipper, more assholic celebrities? This weekend, some time around hour 18 at the traditional Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, Lewis uttered the gay slur made famous by Isaiah Washington and single-handedly caused bloggers all over the internet to say, “Aw! Isn’t that just the CUTEST THING!”

The 81-year-old showman — prowling about the stage during the live telecast Monday in Las Vegas — was goofing around and dodging his cameraman, then went into a ramble about imaginary family members.

“Oh, your family has come to see you,” he said, speaking to the camera and gesturing toward thin air.

“You remember Bart, your older son,” he said, and motioning toward another unseen character, “Jesse, the illiterate f—–.

“No,” Lewis said, quickly stopping himself before continuing.

Monday’s monologue prompted a critical statement Tuesday from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

Neil Giuliano, GLAAD president, called Lewis’ use of the term “simply unacceptable.”

Click here to see TMZ’s video of the faux pas.

This year’s telethon set a record, raising nearly $64 million, more than any previous year, so thankfully the kids this event is meant to benefit won’t feel any ill effects from Lewis’s attempt at hippness. No word on if Lewis is going to change his trademark line from “Hey laaaaaaaaaaaaady!” to “Hey faaaaaaaaaaggot!” However, a line of cuddly Jerry Lewis dolls which repeat various ethnic, religious, anti-gay, and misogynistic epithets is said to be in the works.

Jerry Lewis issued an apology on Tuesday. Isaiah Washington could not be reached for comment.
