Ashlee Simpson: Planning Baby #2 For Attention?

We love tabloid reports you can set your watch by.
No sooner did Jessica Simpson get engaged to than gossip emerged about how she only did it to upstage Nick Lachey, and/or that Eric Johnson betrayed her.
Now the latest, predictable twist. Younger, even less talented sister AshLEE Simpson is planning to have another baby just so she can regain some attention!
Ashlee Simpson CleavageAshlee, Pete, Bronx
ATTENTION-STARVED: Forget kids, Ash. Just wear that ... whatever that is.
Sources say the failed singer and actress, who raises son Bronx with husband Pete Wentz, is furious that her older, more famous sister Jessica gets all the press.
“Ashlee’s career isn’t going anywhere right now,” a source said, “she hates that Jessica gets more press, even more so following Jessica's engagement to Eric."
According to this almost certainly bogus report, “She thinks having another baby will help land some magazine covers and thrust her back into the spotlight.”
Sorry, but the only thrusting involved here will be on Pete's part.

Michael Lohan Lands Gig as Rehab Consultant

Michael Lohan put Lindsay Lohan in rehab (in more ways than one).
Now he's scored the most ironic job ever and will be doing this for a living, working as a consultant for a rehabilitation referral company. Yes, for real.
MiLo's working with "Recovery Hub," an L.A. company that specializes in matching recovering addicts with a rehab center that best fits their needs.
Sounds like eHarmony for alkies. Hey, he's certainly familiarized himself with enough such locales. And they say the job market is in the tank ...
Michael Lohan is God
DON'T EVEN ASK, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW: Yeah ... no idea what the heck is going on in this photo of Mike, but it doesn't make it any less awesome.

Kate Gosselin's Diva-Like Spending Continues

You know what they say. Even mothers of eight with growing financial woes need time to drop more money on a haircut than most of us make in a week.
Kate Gosselin took a break from the kids Wednesday and headed to the uber chic Ted Gibson Salon in NYC for five hours of expensive ass pampering.
In addition to updating her color, Kate had them smooth and straighten her locks - a $450 treatment that can rise up to $950 depending on length.

DIVA: With Kate, there's no end in sight. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
Don't ask us why you needs to go to a salon that swanky when their kids are eating moldy sandwiches to save money, but hey, that's Kate Gosselin for you.
Asking her to cut back on her diva-like antics would be akin to telling Jon Gosselin to get a job. Oh wait ... dude actually did! Well then. Your move, Kate!
The other crazy thing? All the celebrity hairstyles in the world can't mask the fact that it's Kate Gosselin here. You are not a star, lady. Give it up already.

Lisa Vanderpump on Kelsey Grammer Engagement: Seriously?!?

Count Lisa Vanderpump among those taken aback by Kelsey Grammer's engagement to Kayte Walsh.
Sticking up for her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star, who is still legally Kelsey's wife, Vanderpump Tweeted her reaction to the news this week:
Did I miss something? Don't you think you should get divorced first? Just take one step at a time... like a game of chess, that way fewer mistakes and no regrets.
Wife Number-FourLisa Vanderpump Picture
Camille Grammer has speculated that Kelsey pushed for her to appear on this Bravo hit specifically to get time for himself with Walsh, a 29-year old flight attendant.
It does sound like Kelsey could use some advice. Perhaps he could channel his fictional alter ego. Anyone have the number for Frasier Crane's radio show?

Aaron Sorkin Calls Sarah Palin a "Witless Bully"

Aaron Sorkin went off on Sarah Palin on the Huffington Post yesterday, terming her a "witless bully" for staging a caribou hunt on her TLC reality series.
Sorkin, creator of The West Wing and the writer of films such as A Few Good Men and The Social Network, was particularly miffed by Palin's explanation.
"Unless you've never worn leather shoes, sat upon a leather chair or eaten meat, save your condemnation," she wrote in defense of Sarah Palin's Alaska.
Not that simple, Sorkin replies.
Aaron Sorkin PicWitless Bully
Likening Palin's antics on her "truly awful reality show" with Michael Vick's dogfighting ring, Sorkin said he may eat meat, but the two are poles apart.
"I don't watch snuff films and you make them. You weren't killing that animal for food, shelter or even fashion. You enjoy killing animals," writes Sorkin.
"For the life of me, I can't make a distinction between what you get paid to do and what Michael Vick went to prison for." He's just getting warmed up.
Sorkin called Palin a "phony pioneer girl" who "didn't just do it for fun or for the money. That was the first moose ever murdered for political gain."
"You knew there'd be a protest from PETA and you knew that would be an opportunity to hate on some people, you witless bully."
"What a uniter you'd be - bringing the right together with the far right.""
Hard to believe, but Sarah Palin isn't remaining mum on the subject.
"So a left wing producer thinks there is no distinction between harvesting healthy, wild organic protein to feed my family and engaging in dog fighting?" she writes. "I didn't know anyone ate dogs, tanned the hides, and made boots out of them."

Blake Lively and Ryan Gosling: New Couple Alert?

Blake Lively and Ryan Gosling had been linked together before, but were so obviously smitten with each other Tuesday, it's hard to imagine they're not a couple.
At the N.Y.C. premiere party for Gosling's Blue Valentine, Lively practically attached herself to Gosling in the makeshift VIP section at the Top of the Standard.
On a side note, Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh, his 29-year-old new fiancée, were creating a job for Windex by making out against one of the club windows.
Lively Equals LovelyGosling is Gorgeous
BLOSLING? RAKE? Call them what you want, we want more!
The Gossip Girl star's appearance at the Blue Valentine premiere was surprising, given that she was in Paris the day before, shooting a Chanel ad campaign.
She almost didn't make it into the VIP area, because a bodyguard didn't recognize her. That's hard for us to believe, but not everyone watches CW shows.
After she got a handler to reeducate the security dude, the ropes parted and she made a beeline for Gosling, and the sparks began flying soon afterward.
At one point, Gosling affectionately placed his hand on Blake's knee while the stunning actress gave him a smoldering look that's usually reserved for Dan.
Or Nate, or whomever S is scandalously hooking up with that week.
Later in the evening, when Gosling rose from his seat, Lively jumped up after him and grabbed the actor's hand. He promptly sit back down. HOT STUFF!
They soon made separate exits: Gosling first, with Blake following just minutes behind. They were spotted later dining downstairs at the Standard Grill.
What do you think of these two as a couple?

Husband of Angela Dorian: Choose Divorce Over Attempted Murder

Angela Dorian, the 1968 Playmate of the Year, was arrested in October for attempted murder.
Now, husband Bruce is speaking out and making a reasonable statement: a divorce would have been done the job.
Angela Dorian Photo
In an interview with TMZ, Bruce says the pair had an argument in their Hollywood apartment on October 16. He packed up his belongings and was headed for the elevator when Dorian allegedly opened fire from behind. The bullet missed his heart by a quarter of an inch.
"When she shot me, she walked away with no emotion. She didn't give a s-it," Bruce said, adding:
"I don't know what I've done to deserve this... I loved her for nearly 25 years. A divorce would have been sufficient, not a bullet."
Really, it's hard to argue with that.

Jessica Simpson Hollas at Eric Johnson: I Want Prenup!

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are deeply in love. But that doesn't mean there won't be a prenuptial agreement in place when the two tie the knot.
"There will definitely be a prenup" for the pair, a source reveals. "Jessica wants one. She and Eric have talked about it." Still, let's lay off Johnson, okay?
Slamming the tabloid reports that Johnson boned up on snagging rich girls, a source close to the engaged couple says that Eric "is not a gold digger."
Eric and Jess
Jessica Simpson will guard Eric Johnson's heart. And her own fortune.
It's easy to spin this and say she doesn't trust him, but it's just smart. The star is absurdly rich. We kid about her terrible album sales quite frequently, but Jessica Simpson's fashion and accessories brands grossed $750 million in 2010.
Yes, million.
"[Eric] understands that there needs to be a prenup," the insider explains. "He's supportive of it. He really loves her and wants her to be happy. He's low key."
"He's not into the glitz and materialism of Hollywood at all."

Yup, that's Lindsay Lohan nude, covered by a cat. Insert obvious joke.

Chelsea Handler: Not a Fan of Angelina Jolie

This just in: Chelsea Handler doesn't like Angelina Jolie.
In case that wasn't apparent when the E! host referred to the actress as a %$&*, Handler reiterated this stance in an interview with Katie Couric, published in this month's Glamour:
"I'm not a fan," Chelsea says of Angelina. "She just doesn't come off to me as a sincere woman. She seems like a woman that you'd really want to avoid."
Chelsea Lately Host
Elsewhere in the article, Handler touches on rumors that she's dating 50 Cent, her affection for Jennifer Aniston and more. Excerpts are below.
On career aspirations: I definitely want to move on and do something bigger, expand my horizons. Talking about celebrity every day can just fry your brain. I want to be able to talk about politics, I want to be able to talk about sports, I want to be able to talk about life paths, not just celebrity driven.
On Aniston: Jennifer Aniston makes me laugh. She’s irreverent and hilarious, and she sends me really, really funny e-mails.
Is she dating 50 Cent? He came to my show in New Orleans with 15 people, and they take a photo of us and assume that we’re a couple. But he’s really cute, and I have to be honest, there’s a good chance that I will end up hooking up with a rapper at some point.

Wesley Snipes Reports to Prison

From Passenger 57 to Inmate Number 43355-018...
Despite numerous attempts to overturn his conviction, including a last-minute plea on Larry King Live this week, Wesley Snipes is officially a ward of the state. He checked into McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Lewis Run, Pennsylvania today.
Jail Bound
Federal Bureau of Prison spokesman Edmond Ross said the processing of the actor - who has been sentenced to three years for failure to file taxes - went off "without incident."
As for the institution itself?
Larry Levine, a former 10-year federal inmate and founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, said Snipes is residing in a place known as "Club Fed."
"McKean the Dream, that's what we call it," he told ABC News. "It's a nice place, but it's definitely not like checking into a hotel."

Kate Gosselin + Sarah Palin = ZERO Chemistry

What do you get when you cross a witless bully with a grating diva?
No chemistry, apparently. At least according to a SHOCKING report.
Us Weekly notes alarmingly in its latest issue that Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin are not exactly best of friends after their mega-TLC crossover TV event.
Terrible, Terrible MomI Can See Russia From My House
A source close to Gosselin says she had "zero chemistry" with the former Alaska governor, which whom she filmed an episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska.
"They didn't speak at all off camera," the insider adds. "She said the food and accommodations were terrible, and it was the worst trip she'd ever been on."
Although Kate's kids loved going camping, fishing and looking for firewood with Palin and her children, Gosselin "had a meltdown" in the frigid, 53-degree conditions. She ended up leaving the campground before sundown.
"In the end, she just couldn't cope," the source said.
It's no $950 trip to the salon, that's for sure.

Fashion Critic Lambasts Dash NYC as Overpriced Theme Park

Is it possible Kim Kardashian and her sisters are not as fashionable as previously believed?
Might a store that carries their name also carry nothing but ugly, overpriced knockoffs?
These are crazy notions, we know, but they're the opinions expressed by Jon Caramanica, a fashion critic for The New York Times who spent time inside SoHo's Dash NYC this week.
Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian
One man's take on Dash NYC? "As in most theme parks, there wasn't anything worth carrying away but memories."
"Some items were baffling," Caramanica writes. "Even Khloé on her worst pre-marriage day might have struggled with the pink fur shrug ($484)."
Referring to a $430 hat, the critic comments: "You could wear this look, in the same way you could hire an enthusiastic 5-year-old as your stylist."
Overall, "Dash is a fashion desert, just oodles of drapey cowl necks and embellished cap sleeves and synthetic fibers. Clothes are essentially split into two categories of fit: vacuum-sealed and hot-air balloon."
And, in case you were wondering: yes, you can actually purchase QuikTrim products at the store, along with $10 bottles of water with pictures of Kourtney, Khloe and Kim on them.

Idiots Plan Protest of Elizabeth Edwards' Funeral

Elizabeth Edwards, the estranged wife of former Democratic presidential candidate and 2004 V.P. nominee John Edwards, died earlier this week at the age of 61.
Edwards passed away after a long battle with cancer, leaving behind three children. What should follow is a period of subdued mourning for a classy individual.
Alas, the Rielle Hunter rumors have already popped up, and now, the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church is dispatching members to protest her funeral.
An Elizabeth Edwards Picture
Elizabeth Edwards (1949-2010).
The church has sparked controversy via confrontational, offensive demonstrations in the past, with "God Hates F*gs" becoming their unofficial calling card.
Another Westboro sign, "Thank God For Dead Soldiers," is frequently displayed at military funerals and has not surprisingly created its own share of outrage.
In a promotional flier for the upcoming protest, the church references John and Elizabeth Edwards's son Wade, who tragically died in a car crash in 1996.
After Wade's death, the Edwards' had two more children, Emma and Jack (born 1998 and 2000). The protest group's literature says the following:
"When they were visited from the Most High God with the death of their 16-year-old son, they did not humble themselves before His mighty hand."
"They reared up in rage, decided they would show God who is boss, meddleing in matters of the womb, resulting in 2 more children - now motherless."
The church goes on to claim that Elizabeth Edwards is in hell. Specifically, she is a "resident of hell, where her rebellion and rage will take full flower."
The First Amendment protects, as it should, the group's right to assemble, protest and disseminate these ideas. We live in a free society. This is good.
But freedom of speech also protects our right to say that the Westboro Baptist Church should lay off out of decency or take a long walk off a short pier.
Seriously, you are all really big losers.

Demi Lovato Rep Shoots Down Settlement Talk

Talks of a settlement between Demi Lovato and Alex Welch may be premature.
While lawyers for both sides - the troubled singer and the backup dancer who was attacked by Lovato immediately before she checked herself into rehab - have acknowledged contact, Demi's rep says no money has exchanged hands.
Specifically, this source tells Celebuzz a Chicago Sun-Times story that the actress paid Welch six figures in a settlement is "completely fabricated."
Pre-Rehab Pic
Attorney Stuart Slotnick, meanwhile, doubts the marks on Welch's face are enough to help her win any court case.
"If people could sue one another for causing bruises, we would all be in a lot of trouble," he says. "[If there isn't] some serious injury, a lawsuit may not be appropriate."
Still, the mere notion of dragging this alleged assault out for months might be enough to warrant a settlement. Says a source close to Demi:
“The last thing [she] needs is for this to go to trial... There are too many embarrassing and damaging details that could come out.”

Mel Gibson Temporarily Suspends Church Services After Lucia Photo Leak

Mel Gibson is not happy about photos taken of him with his daughter while at his church function Sunday. He's closed down services for the time being as a result.
The actor's mega-church is putting the brakes on all events because of the pics that were taken on church grounds last weekend and passed on to TMZ.
Gibson is "extremely concerned about the invasion of privacy." A source adds, "Not just concerned about [Lucia], but for the privacy of his parishioners."

PRIVACY CONCERNS: Mel apparently has even more than usual.
Members of the Holy Family Chapel in Agoura, Calif., received an email notice from church officials yesterday which delivered the news succinctly:

Sources say limited services will continue to be offered to long-term parishioners. Follow the link for the adorable Mel and Lucia photos in question.

Jenn Sterger Wants Brett Favre Suspended

Jenn Sterger is not out to get Brett Favre ... but come on, the dude should be held accountable for what he did, lest her own reputation be sullied.
That's essentially the model/reporter's take.
The former N.Y. Jets sideline reporter who claims Favre texted pics of his junk to her claims she would rather not pursue legal action against the NFL star.
As long as the NFL suspends him, that is.
Brett Farve
Jenn Sterger has made it clear where she stands.
Jenn Sterger's rep said that "If the [NFL] commissioner suspends Favre and puts him in a program to make sure this doesn't happen again ... 100 percent ... she would not pursue any litigation against Favre, against the Jets, against anybody."
Her rep also insists that the QB's camp tried to pay her off in the wake of the alleged texting, but before any wang photos or news of the scandal leaked online:
"He asked, is there a specific figure you had in mind to make this go away."
Brett admits hollering at Jenn, but denies texting lewd pics. The NFL investigation into the incident is reportedly closed, but no decision has been reached yet.

Celebrity of the Year #9: Danielle Staub

With 2010 drawing to a close, it is with much pride that THG unveils its 10 finalists for its prestigious, Fourth Annual Celebrity of the Year award.
These stars all gave us their best, their worst, their nude pics (sometimes) and their scandals (often). This month, THG honors that greatness. Following the posthumous ranking of Michael Jackson, we present Celebrity of the Year finalist #9...
... Danielle Staub!
Staub the Stripper
It's important to get something straight, of course: we despise Staub. She's the epitome of everything that's wrong in our celebrity-obsessed culture.
Talentless, promiscuous and attention-starved, Danielle is solely famous because she has no shame. She'll do anything for publicity. But it cannot be argued that this strategy has made her a major player in the gossip game throughout 2010.
Think about all she will do or say to keep her name in the news. This is someone who swore off sex and starred in a sex tape in the same year! That's an impressive accomplishment. She also...
... helped make The Real Housewives of New Jersey the highest-rated show on Bravo.
... came out with a single titled "Real Close."
... accused her ex-husband of raping her on a bed of broken glass.
... pretended to be a bisexual.
... gotten fired from the same show she led to such strong ratings.
Will Danielle Staub make this list again in 2011? God, we hope not. But only you can control that, people. Don't tune in to her new reality show, don't purchase any tabloids with her on the cover and don't film yourself having sex with her.
If we all follow those rules, perhaps the next decade can be Danielle Staub free. A website can dream, can't it?

Captain Jack is (almost) back.
On May 20, Johnny Depp will reprise the role that truly made him an icon, as he steps back into the swashbuckling shoes of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. We've got an early look at a scene from the movie here:
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides First Look
The fourth installment of this franchise will find Jack and Barbossa seeking the Fountain of Youth.  Along the way, Depp's beloved character will meet a former flame, as seen above and played by Penelope Cruz.
"What's most interesting about Pirates 4 is you don't have to connect the dots for these subplots and sub-characters," Depp told USA Today. "It felt like a fresh, clean slate."
Neither Orlando Bloom nor Keira Knightley appears in the film. Check out two more scenes from the blockbuster HERE and HERE.

TMZ has the photographic evidence:

Justin and Selena sat on the same side of the booth, onlookers reported, and appeared "cuddly."
Of course, Bieber took the stage later that evening and serenaded a fan in a romantic manner. So who knows where things stand between him and Gomez. We'll keep you apprised.
