Cameron Diaz is such a huge fan of TV show Desperate Housewives, she's reportedly signed up for a cameo role.

The Charlie's Angels actress is an avid viewer of the latest drama - focusing on the lives of five suburban women who spend their days seducing workmen - scoring millions of fans across America. And now Diaz has managed to secure a small role in the hit series.

An insider says, "Cameron is one of 20 million fans of the show and thought it would be quite cool to play herself. She thinks it will be a ratings smash of the year."

Read "Why There's No Escaping the Blog" from Fortune Magazine.

Props to the Manolo Shoe Blog for getting mentioned:
"More important, obsessive blogs can mean obsessive customers. The witty blogger behind Manolo's Shoe Blog may bash Birkenstocks and Uggs, but he drools over Coach, Prada, and, of course, Manolo Blahniks. Before blogs, finding someone like him—a person who probably helps others make buying decisions—would have been difficult and costly."

WTF???????

A new reality TV show will feature dogs having facelifts and a rabbit having a tummy tuck. Pet Plastic Surgery will show how far owners go to make their pets feel good, reports The Sun.

The Five documentary features a neutered male dog being fitted with false testicles to raise his self-esteem.

--SO wrong.

RIP.

--What a fine actor. I really liked him in Dirty Dancing, and everything he did since. He was the highlight of Law and Order.

UPDATE: I just found out that Orbach was the voice of Lumiere in the Beauty and the Beast movie. I had no idea! I LOVED Lumiere!

I guess starring in a movie with the word "Focker" in it wasn't enough for Teri Polo:

Fans of America's number one movie Meet The Fockers are set for an extra special treat in February's Playboy magazine when the film's star Teri Polo bares all. The actress, who plays funnyman Ben Stiller's fiancee in the Meet The Parents sequel, appears in a teaser in the new January issue of the men's magazine wearing nothing but thigh-high white socks.

Said by an insider of rapper Lil' Jon: "Lil' Jon seriously hates Usher," says the insider. "He feels like he was responsible for the success of 'Yeah,' which he was. He produced the song and sang on it. He likes to mock Usher by saying his name in a little high voice and calls him 'Baby Usher."

--RRIIIGGGHHHTT. Because you just have sooooo much talent Lil' Jon. You must have been consuming too much of your new energy drink, Crunk Juice. (And it must have some serious hallucinogens in it).

1 This is not the first time I've read about this guy, but I'm sure I have never heard of him other than word-of mouth on blogs and such. Yet another no-talent clown who's getting an awful lot of run. How do I get in on that action?

Posted by: Kevin the Interloper at December 29, 2004 08:55 AM (qb+8W)

2 Now now, Mills. As your resident hip-hop expert, I can tell you that Lil Jon, though annoying, has either produced or appeared in about 85% of the multi-platinum hip-hip or rap hits of the past 3 years. He is what we call LOW-DEAD. A few years ago it was Pharrell, but now it's Lil Jon that everyone, and I mean everyone, wants to produce their tracks. Keep blingin'! Signed, ICE

4 Ha! Okay then. Did you know that Usher recently had the red carpet completely sealed off so that he could walk it alone. The other celebs were "ushered" aside and told to enter the building so that they could shut it down for him - he demanded it or would not show at the crappy awards show (don't remember which)?! Sounds like someone is becoming a little "diva" himself - and I'm sure dating Naomi Campbell now doesn't help . . .

Posted by: Iceman at December 29, 2004 09:59 AM (Kohcy)

5 I wouldn't call what Lil' Jon does "singing". It's more like rhythmic yelling. WHAT! YEAH! OK! He is a really good producer, though.

Posted by: Mel at December 29, 2004 01:59 PM (WFx4O)

6 Well he did produce "Yeah". He produced everything about the song except for Usher and Luda's parts. So he should get some recognition there. And yeah, a majority of the beats you hear behind your favorite songs are produced by Lil Jon, Neptunes, and Kanye West. Kanye West deserves a hell of a lot of credit for his productions and they go back years.

We all know that Hollywood influences fashion. Here's one more example:

Aviator sunglasses are poised for a new surge, this time as The Aviator glasses. The AviatorÂ’s director, Martin Scorsese, a longtime friend of Giorgio Armani, approached the designer to create the period eyewear for the film. Working closely with Safilo Group, ArmaniÂ’s eyewear manufacturer, and its historical eyewear archives from this era, Giorgio Armani developed two signature sunglass styles in particular for lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

And now, just in time for the filmÂ’s theatrical release, Armani is introducing a version of the featured classic metal aviator into his signature eyewear collection. Known as the GA 261S, this metal aviator sunglass will be available in four colors (gold/green, gold/brown, ruthenium/dark gray, gun metal/dark gray) and comes with a limited edition hard case. The sunglasses retail for $260.

Porn is about to inch further into the mainstream with an upcoming documentary about "Deep Throat." (I copied that line straight from the article. I cannot take credit for that awful pun).

Universal is releasing "Inside Deep Throat," a documentary about the legendary 1972 picture's "social impact" and "cultural legacy," in February. The flick, premiering at Sundance next month, features commentary from the likes of Erica Jong, Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer.

It's the latest in a recent wave of mainstream porn phenomena, including Timothy Greenfield-Sanders book of XXX star portraits and Jenna Jameson's best-seller, "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star."

1 without googling: Katherine Hepburn?

2 My guess is Meryl Streep, but I'm reasonably certain I'm wrong.

Posted by: Lawren at December 27, 2004 09:19 AM (sql83)

5 Hepburn is the only one to have done it, period, and she is still the only one with four. Ingrid Bergman has three Oscars, but one of those was for Supporting Actress (Murder on the Orient Express). Streep only has two, and one of those is a Supporting one. She often laughs in interviews that people constantly comment that she has the most nominations in history (13) but never point out that she has lost the Oscar the most times. This one is harder: Who is the first actor to win three Oscars, regardless of lead or supporting?

Posted by: chuck at December 27, 2004 05:37 PM (sPO1C)

6 Jack Lemmon?

Posted by: Lawren at December 28, 2004 11:47 AM (rR3i5)

7 Nope, he only has two. Walter Brennan won three Supporting trophies back in the 30's and 30's. Besides him, Bergman, and Hepburn, Jack Nicholson is the only other actor with three.

Posted by: chuck at December 28, 2004 05:52 PM (O5cld)

8 Nicholson, eh? Didn't know he had 3 either. You're such a font of knowledge, Chuck.
