Loser
--Reality star Jonny Fairplay is suing another reality star – Danny Bonaduce – for battery and infliction of emotional distress for tossing him during an awards show last week. The suit stems from the pair's confrontation onstage during the FOX Reality Really Channel awards. Fairplay, 33, was being jeered by the audience when Bonaduce, 48, came out and said into the microphone, "They're booing because they hate you." A moment later, Fairplay (real name: Jon Dalton) jumped into the arms of Bonaduce, who tossed the former Survivor star over his head. Fairplay landed on his face, and lost several teeth. Police investigated the incident and declined to press charges, calling Bonaduce's actions "self-defense."
But on Tuesday, Fairplay filed the lawsuit against the former Partridge Family star, as well as FOX reality channel, the show's producers and the club venue where the event took place. Fairplay claims that the incident has caused him "great mental, physical and nervous pain and suffering." He is suing for an undisclosed amount of "general damages." Click here to read the complaint.
This guys is a total loser. I'm kinda glad Bonaduce caused him to lose a few toophers.

Again, watch the video ... no chance this doesn't get thrown out, just like Fairplay himself. He jumped on Bonaduce and started monkey climbing him ... what would you do?

His existence causes me great mental, physical and nervous pain and suffering. Wonder what that's worth.

--ThalÃa has welcomed her first child with her music executive husband Tommy Mottola. Sabrina Sakaë was born Sunday morning in New York and weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz. (It seems like soooo long ago that he was married to Mariah).
--Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts, the two biggest female stars of our time, are possibly heading for a teaming up. The movie in question is a Kidman project called "Monte Carlo," based on a novel called "Headhunters." The story concerns three Midwestern school teachers who pose as socialites in the worldÂ’s glamorous gambling capital and wind up snaring billionaires. ItÂ’s sort of an update on "How to Marry a Millionaire."
--And, on the Britney front: Her weekend consisted of 1) making up w/ her mama and sister; 2) missing her visitation w/ the kiddies; 3) partying; 4) and Taco Bell.

I was going to say 7 months, too. She's a small woman and that's a big baby in there. Since I doubt she'll give birth to a baby weighing more than 7lbs, I'm guessing she's into her 3rd trimester.

Poor, Troubled Bonaduce
--A court commissioner ruled Wednesday that Britney Spears can have visits with her two sons but did not reverse an order giving temporary custody to Kevin Federline, the pop star's ex-husband, his attorney said. Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon was expected to issue an order detailing the visitation rights, attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said. The order was not released by the time court closed for the day. Federline attended the hearing but Spears did not.
--Former child star Danny Bonaduce has been named as the suspect in a felony battery report after allegedly beating up a U.S. reality TV star at an awards show. The Partridge Family star stunned the audience at the Fox Reality Channel Really Awards on Tuesday night when he jumped up onstage and attacked Survivor star Jonny Fairplay. The reality star lost a few teeth in the fracas, according to Tmz.com. Speaking on the Adam Carolla radio show in Los Angeles on Wednesday, co-host Bonaduce admitted he has had a thing against Fairplay ever since the reality TV star lied about his grandmother dying, in order to get sympathy on the show. Bonaduce revealed the fight started after Fairplay - real name Jon Dalton - poked fun at him from the stage.
--New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, 32, and his wife, Cynthia, 34, are expecting a baby next spring, they have revealed. "Cynthia and I are overjoyed to announce this addition to our family," says the athlete. “We realize what a special gift children are, and feel very blessed to welcome our second child." The two-time American League MVP and his wife of nearly five years already have a daughter, Natasha, 2.
--Single Hollywood stars Jennifer Aniston and Orlando Bloom have prompted rumors of a romance, after they were spotted getting close at their manager's wedding. The pair are both represented by Aleen Keshishian, and traveled to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico to celebrate her marriage, along with other clients Natalie Portman, Laura Linney and Bloom's ex-girlfriend Kate Bosworth. Fellow guests claim Aniston and Bloom immediately latched onto each other and spent much of the ceremony together. A source tells Life & Style magazine. "When they got down to Mexico, they just gravitated to each other. They sat next to each other for both the rehearsal dinner and the actual ceremony. Their super-flirty behavior surprised some of the other guests, but they didn't look like they cared who was watching because they were so into each other." Representatives for both stars insist they are just good friends. (Can I call them Aniblo?)
--When Angelina Jolie stepped out in a midriff-baring tank top, her emaciated stomach nearly ruined In Touch's plans for this week's cover: "Is Angelina Jolie pregnant?" To protect its story, the glossy bought exclusive rights to the shots of her taut torso "so no other weeklies could run them," said an insider. In Touch claims Jolie gained 10 pounds in her chest, but conveniently cropped the photo above her flat stomach. "When Angelina showed up looking so skinny, they bought the photos," our source said. The mag says, "The most striking area of Angelina's weight gain is in her chest, which is why we focused on that area."
--As NBC's "American Gladiators" remake begins to take shape, the network is turning to elsewhere in the world of "sports entertainment" for the show's host. Pro-wrestling legend and VH1 reality star Hulk Hogan is on board to serve as the show's host. Though the deal is still being finalized, TV Week reports that both NBC and the Hulkster (real name: Terry Bollea) are gung-ho about the series, which is likely to find a midseason berth on the network. (Sweet! I totally loved this show!)
--"Go cry to your bald mom, you [bleeping] loser," Charlie Sheen wrote to Denise Richards in an e-mail the actress included in documents filed last week in L.A. Superior Court in the couple's custody battle. "You are a pig. A sad, jobless pig who is sad and talentless and sad and jobless and evil and a bad mom, so go [bleep] yourself sad jobless pig," reads another. "You are an evil piece of [bleep]. I can't wait to tell the world what a piece of [bleep] you are. You don't get a [bleeping] dime till this is resolved," says a third e-mail. Richards says in her court filing that she was particularly hurt by the one about her mother, who is undergoing chemotherapy treatments for cancer. Pictures of Sheen's "erect penis" that Richards says he used for his profile on sex sites are also included, which Richards claims he e-mailed to "approximately 30 women." "I'd love to give it to you any time," Sheen wrote to one woman under the screen name "mrjonze55." Richards says Sheen even visited gay pornography sites - "which I found even more disturbing because I felt that the boys looked underage," the documents state. Richards accuses Sheen of punching the headboard of their bed once in a rage, and telling her that by no longer breast-feeding, she was causing their daughter, Sam, to "become retarded." "He took a large wedding photo off the wall. He had it placed in our garage. He sawed the picture in half and took spray paint and sprayed 'the dumbest day of my life,' " Richards claims in the documents. (Um...whoa).
--People can't get enough of Jennifer Aniston. Neither can Us Weekly, Star or other popular celebrity magazines. Aniston sits atop Forbes.com's first-ever analysis of top-selling famous faces, based on several factors, including newsstand sales of celebrity weeklies People, Us Weekly, In Touch Weekly, Life & Style, OK! and Star over a six-month period ending June 30, as supplied by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The 38-year-old actress graced six covers - appearing on every magazine except In Touch Weekly at least once during the time period - with her face collectively selling more than 5 million copies, the Web site said Tuesday. Aniston's ex-husband, Brad Pitt, takes second place on the list, followed by Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Valerie Bertinelli and Kelly Ripa.
--Evan Handler, who played Charlotte's bald but lovable hubby, Harry Goldenblatt, on "Sex and the City," reported to his first day of filming for the movie version on Tuesday, when he was a guest at Big and Carrie's wedding. But production had to be halted a few times because of a chronic hiccuping problem Handler has developed. "It's been going on now for the past two years," he said in between hiccups. "Sometimes it goes on for two, three days straight. So, it was happening a little while filming, yes. But I can get in under control. I go to a quiet corner and redirect my breathing and center myself."
--Oh, for the love of no, Courtney...

Ok, so what did everyone think about the Rock of Love finale? I liked Jess all along, so I was happy with his choice. Thank God he didn't keep that crazy Lacey around. Heather, was just too, well trashtastic--even for Bret.
1
I watched the video -- Bonaduce did not attack Fairplay. If anything, Fairplay did the "attacking" because he jumped on Bonaduce and started dry-humping him, prompting Bonaduce to lift him over his head to get rid of him, and then Fairplay fell flat on his mouth. Looked like a poorly staged encounter if you ask me.
Hard to imagine anyone being "too trashy" for Bret Michaels, but after watching the series, he seems like a pretty good guy (can't hate on him for livin' the hairband lifestyle!), while she is just ... trashtastic. I would have picked Jess from day one, and since she's reportedly available already, there's still a chance!

--Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz has fueled rumors she is dating actor Bradley Cooper after the pair were spotted together in New York. Diaz, 35, and newly-divorced (from Jennifer Esposito) Cooper, 32, were spotted caressing each other during a meal at Morgans Hotel in the city. They were also spotted enjoying a New York Giants game on Sunday night. A source tells New York gossip column PageSix, "(They) were very close and lovely. Something is definitely going on, and it's clear they are more than just friends."
--O.J. Simpson was minus one Rolex watch - real or otherwise - Tuesday after a judge ordered him to hand it and other assets over to the father of slaying victim Ron Goldman. Superior Court Judge Gerald Rosenberg also ordered the former football star to turn over any future royalties from a videogame in which he appears and any of the disputed memorabilia he can prove is his that Las Vegas police seized when they arrested him last month on robbery, kidnapping and other charges.
--Wrestler-turned-movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has made history at his former college by handing over $1 million to fund football facilities at the University Of Miami. The action man, who played football at the Florida university a decade ago, now becomes the most generous former student athlete in the school's history. Johnson's cash gift will help to fund renovation in the university's athletic department. The Miami Hurricanes' football locker room will be renamed in the actor's honour. In making the donation on Tuesday, Johnson said, "My wife Dany and I have always said that being a student athlete here at the University Of Miami has always been a tremendous part of our lives. I have said it time and time again, that this program was a launching pad for my success." Johnson and his wife met at the university. They announced their separation in June.
--It's over between Tory Burch and Lance Armstrong. The fashion designer and the Tour de France champion had been dating for a year, but decided to break up Monday. "It's a geographical thing," said an insider. "They're friends. It's amicable. They really like each other. The logistics were too much." Tory has a brood of six kids (counting her ex-husband's children from a previous marriage). Lance has three young tots.
--Leonardo DiCaprio's Israeli model girl friend, Bar Refaeli, dodged her country's mandatory military service - and couldn't be prouder.

--A California judge temporarily stripped Britney of custody of her sons.
(Hmmm...I'm thinking she either didn't go to one of her parenting classes, or didn't take and/or failed one of her drug tests. What do you guys think?)

According to a family lawyer on tv last night, there's only two ways that a mother typically loses custody.
1) physical abuse
2) drugs
The former seems very unlikely, while the latter seems extremely likely.
Sadly, I wonder what the over under is on Spears suicide.

Everyone assumes she wants the kids. Silly assumption in my opinion. Sometime mothers do not have motherly feelings or instincts. My bet is she is, if not happy, certainly relieved she does not have to deal with them any longer. Maybe her Ex will grow up a bit and really take care of them. He certainly can't do worse than her, can he?

I don't think so. The following is nowhere near the size of that for stories like "Spiderman" or "Lord of the Rings" or "Pirates of the Caribbean" ... it's a popular show, but I see no way it has the box office appeal outside of those who regularly watched the show or wanted to but couldn't have HBO ... something along those lines.

--Matthew McConaughey will replace Owen Wilson in the film comedy Tropic Thunder, Variety reports. Wilson, 38, dropped out of the Ben Stiller-directed movie after he was hospitalized for what police called a suicide attempt last month. The role being taken by McConaughey, 37, is essentially a cameo in an ensemble cast that includes Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr. and Nick Nolte. The movie is a comedy about a group of actors shooting a war movie on a deserted island that comes under real attack.
--Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are selling their luxury Nashville, Tennessee home. The Hollywood couple have put their four-bedroom mansion up for sale, with a listing price of $2.5 million.

--Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado are the worst behaved diners in showbiz, according to celebrity restaurateur Guy Rubino. Rubino claims Timberlake insisted on ordering off the menu and Furtado acted like a diva during visits to his Toronto, Canada eaterie Rain. The chef tells The New York Daily News, "Timberlake comes into Rain, doesn't even look at the menu and shouts for random food that we don't make. If he knew what he wanted, why come to an Asian restaurant in the first place? (Furtado) made a reservation for 10 guests. She showed up an hour late with five extra people in tow. For parties that size, we do a prix-fixe type of menu. Nelly objected and was really rude about it. She expected individual dishes to be prepared. Her manager even came into the kitchen and had the gall to say, 'Just f**king do it! I told her that she and her client could just f**king leave." In contrast, Rubino claims Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were the best guests: "They're very polite. Every time they come in, they pop into the kitchen to say hello. I just love them."
--Quentin Tarantino is getting ready to switch to sex from violence. The quirky director, a devotee of '70s European nudie flicks, says he wants to make "a cool sex movie that would take place in Stockholm, with a couple of Americans visiting a couple of Swedish friends . . . just going out drinking, having a good time, hooking up." But, he tells London's Daily Telegraph, "If I actually do an erotic movie, I'm going to have to reveal what I find sexy, what turns me on . . . It's got to be kind of kinky, because that's what's cinematic, that's what's fun. Everything else is just - shagging."
--There will be more than 100 candles to blow out when the Plaza Hotel hits the century mark. The Oct. 1 celebration will include a pyrotechnic performance by the Grucci fireworks family featuring a cascade of thousands of flaming white lights that will turn the landmark into a huge birthday cake. At that point, Paul Anka will sing "Happy Birthday" in Grand Army Plaza. "This isn't about the reopening of the building," said a Plaza rep, referring to the ongoing gut renovation. "It's all about the 100th birthday celebration."

The Rolling Stone - co-producer of "The Women," a remake of the 1939 George Cukor classic - threw a boisterous dinner party at Clink in the old Charles Street Jail, which has been converted into the Liberty Hotel. Jagger, who was with his girlfriend L'Wren Scott, toasted Meg Ryan and Eva Mendes and every other actress in the all-female flick. Debra Messing skipped the bash for the Emmys while Annette Bening chose the Yankees-Red Sox game. (His girlfriend is named L'Wren? Oh, I'm so going w/ that spelling. I mean, who really needs the "a" anyway?)
--I think she's hiding Osama in there.
Random Thought of the Day:
I stayed at an awesome hotel last weekend in Chicago. It's called The James. It's on Ontario, and only a couple blocks west of Michigan Ave. It was the best of both worlds: W style and savvy, with Drake customer service. I got a "Welcome back, Ms. Mills" when I'd return. I had mentioned on the phone that I was there for a bachelorette party, and they asked what I had planned. When I arrived, there was an envelope waiting for me that included: a confirmation of the reservations I made for dinner at Carnivale , front of the line privileges and waived cover at Martini Park (a hot, new martini bar), and maps to all of those places. The hotel room bathrooms were stocked with Kiehl's products! Can't beat that! The hotel also housed a new steakhouse that's getting rave reviews and a hot bar called J Bar, that turns more club-like in the evening. I'd HIGHLY recommend this place!)

-Who doesn't know that when you mess with the chef/staff you're gonna get spit (if you're lucky) in your food? Idiots.
-"I think she's hiding Osama in there." HA! HA! HA! Good one!

Dumped by her lawyer. "I don't want anyone to perceive that we're dumping Britney," said Laura Wasser, her attorney. Guess K-Fed's surprise witness put her over the edge. Can't represent someone effectively who hides minor details like drug use.
Dumped by her manager. "...current circumstances have prevented us from properly doing our job," said her managing company. What? That she's batshit crazy?
Every day I think, "Surely, this can't get any worse for her." And, then it does.

I didn't have time to watch every minute, but of what I did see, I thought it was a decent show this year. I liked the new stage, and how some presenters came out of the audience, and some came out from under the stage.
Some highlights:
--Hooray for Jeremy Piven's win for Entourage. The boys looked cool and collected as they all strolled in.
--Dear Sally Field: 1) Shut your monumental pie hole. 2) Edie Falco was robbed. Love, Lawren
--Enough America Ferrara. Seriously.
--I usually find Katherine Heigl sweet and endearing, but last night I thought she had a chip on her shoulder--both in her acceptance speech and when she corrected the pronounciation of her name.
--Loved that the "Gay Witch Hunt" episode of "The Office" won for best writing for a comedy. It was pee-your-pants funny. Same goes for the "Sopranos" finale episode's win for best writing for a drama. It was writing at its finest.
--I was a little sad that Gandolfini didn't win, but you just can't beat James Spader as Alan Shore on "Boston Legal." Great acceptance speech, too.
Some of my fave fashions:
I have a few caveats regarding my best dressed choices. Heidi Klum and Ellen Pompeo must go in my "neck down only" category because I thought their hair and makeup looked like crapolah. Debra Messing looked great--but she wears black and white a lot (and, Ralph Lauren almost exclusively on the red carpet), so if she doesn't start being a little more creative, I am going to cut her out of my list. You can't see them very well, but Marcia Cross had these fabulous blue/turquoise earrings on w/ her dress, and it just looked fabulous up against her red hair.
1
-I didn't care much for Helen Mirren's diss on America before saying we are "generous". After all, she is a guest here and I thought the Brits were all "polite" and sh**.
-I like Bros. and Sisters but don't think Sally deserved that win and didn't like her "speech" at all.
-Lotta fugly dresses this year
-Ellen needs to m.c. but Seacrest wasn't too bad.

This Makes Me Angry Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott look to be heading to the Great White Way, to costar in Chicago.
The New York Post's Page Six column reports that the husband and wife are "are currently in talks" with show producers to strut their stuff in the high-stepping, vaudeville-style musical, Spelling's rep told the paper.
Spelling, 34, and McDermott, 40, starred together on their Oxygen network reality series, Tori & Dean: Inn Love, based on their antics running a California B&B. Among their adventures: having a baby boy, Liam Aaron McDermott, born March 13.
Spelling and McDermott would presumably – and respectively – play the roles of Roxie Hart, the murderous heroine of the story, and that of her crooked lawyer, Billy Flynn.
While married couples, including Amy Spanger and Michael C. Hall as well as Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, have starred in this current incarnation of Chicago, perhaps the most famous guest star to land in the long-running revival of the 1975 Bob Fosse stage musical was Usher, who in summer 2006 played lawyer Flynn – the Richard Gere role in the 2002 Oscar-winning Best Picture adaptation of the show.
Leave my Broadway alone! Donna Martin should NOT grace the stage there! Why do they keep letting mediocre-at-best stars in shows? There is far too much undiscovered talent that's just waiting to be plucked out of obscurity! Grrr...
Why No Ellen?
--Comedian Jon Stewart will return as host of the Oscars for the 80th awards show on Feb. 24, it was announced Wednesday. The host of TV's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" will get his second shot at hosting Hollywood's premiere event, which will be held on Feb. 24 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. He hosted the 78th annual awards show in 2006. The statement did not say why the academy decided to go with Stewart after comedian Ellen DeGeneres hosted last year.
--Brad Pitt and Edward Norton will share the screen again in State of Play, a film adaptation of the British miniseries. Kevin MacDonald, who did a phenomenal job with Last King of Scotland, will direct. According to Variety, "Norton will play a congressman whose speedy political rise is threatened by an investigation into the death of his mistress. Pitt plays a politico-turned-journalist whose relationship with the solon is compromised when he oversees his newspaper's investigation into the murder and develops a relationship with the pol's estranged wife."
--A former contestant on Top Chef was beaten by a group of about 10 young people screaming anti-gay slurs, her attorney tells the Associated Press. Josie Smith-Malave, 32 according to her bio on the Web site of the Bravo reality show, was with a small group of women who were asked to leave a bar in Sea Cliff, N.Y., over Labor Day weekend, her lawyer Yetta Kurland said Tuesday. Kurland, who says Smith-Malave – a second-season contestant on Top Chef – is openly gay, said that about 10 people followed the women from the bar and started to shout anti-gay epithets and spit on them before beating them up.
--Eve celebrated the completion of 45 days of sobriety by hitting the bar. The songstress was freed from her alcohol-monitoring anklet on Saturday morning, and by cocktail hour was hitting the MTV Video Music Awards swag suites at Caesars Palace. "When a cocktail waitress walked over to her with a bottle of Svedka, her eyes lit up," said a Page Six spy. "She got kind of nervous when they wanted her to take a photo, and wouldn't pose with the bottle - but then her assistant asked a promoter to send a case to her house."
--50 Cent may be getting hip-hop's equivalent of a gold watch next week. Early reports have Kanye West beating 50 in their much-hyped battle of album sales: West's "Graduation" is on pace to sell about 575,000 to 700,000 its first week out, while 50 Cent's "Curtis" is on track to do 550,000, according to Billboard magazine. As of day one, Kanye had sold 437,000 copies to 50's 310,000, according to Nielsen Soundscan. Both albums came out Tuesday, and a confident 50 Cent famously announced that he would retire if West outsold him in first-week sales.
--Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani are among the stylish stars on People magazine's list of best dressed women of 2007. Katie Holmes, Penelope Cruz, Jessica Biel, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon and Ali Larter are other sharp dressers singled out in the magazine's "Best & Worst Dressed" double issue, on newsstands Friday. Don't forget the men. David Beckham, Terrence Howard, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and George Clooney meet People's standards for always stepping out in style, whether they're wearing tuxedos or T-shirts. Pitt and his partner, Angelina Jolie, are among the year's best dressed couples. Other fashionable duos: Stefani and her husband, Gavin Rossdale; Halle Berry and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry; and newlyweds Tony Parker and Eva Longoria. Among the fashion moments the magazine would like to forget: Sienna Miller's black hot pants and tights and Avril Lavigne's pairing of a frilly dress and combat boots. Janet Jackson and Kirsten Dunst are cited for wearing the "worst red carpet dresses" of the year.
--The days of Britney Spears as a 'Toxic' trainwreck may finally be over. While the world is screaming "Gimme Less"— Simon, Paula and Randy want the "reformed" rehabber to "Gimme More." The judges announced to FOX that they have decided to take the Britster on board and have issued an open call to the pop princess to manage her crumbling career. "We have decided we can bring Britney back," the normally caustic Cowell confirmed. "We are serious. We plan to buy her underpants, get her bigger shorts to perform in and get her away from her stupid friends."
--Heath Ledger isn't letting any grass grow under his feet. Just a week after announcing his split from Michelle Williams, Ledger has been squiring Danish modelHelena Christensen all over town. Tuesday night, the two were at Wakiya "making out throughout the dinner," our spy said. Acting like a good boyfriend, Ledger even "held her bag for her as she did interviews." The two then went to the after-party for the movie "Eastern Promises" at the Soho Grand, and ended up at the Spotted Pig.

At least if Eve is going to hit the bottle, she won't go broke doing it. Svedka is one of the best vodka's for the money. 1.75 ltr is about $18 at Costco.

Don't be surprised to see 50 "somehow" come out on top when the results are released next week. I think it's more likely than not that he buys the difference this weekend and outsells Kanye ... remember when Mariah's ex bought 500,000 copies of her record or something to assure it opened at #1? Lame, but this kind of stuff happens. Plus, 50 is fresh off of a $35 million earnings year, which is just obscene, thanks to those Vitamin Water ads he does.

--Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson will join the cast of the film version of Sex And The City - as Carrie Bradshaw's assistant, it has been reported. The Dreamgirls star is in final negotiations to join Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon for the long-awaited movie version of the sassy, Emmy Award-winning HBO comedy, according to industry publication Variety. Filming for Sex and the City is due to begin next week. Fellow TV show star Chris Noth is slated to reprise his role as Mr. Big, though none of the other male love interests for the characters have been confirmed.

--Move over, Jamie Oliver, Rachael Ray and Gordon Ramsay: Nick Lachey, Nicky Hilton and Wilmer Valderrama are also jumping into the kitchen. "We're doing a restaurant in [Las] Vegas, called The Company, in the Luxor hotel," Valderrama, 27, said at Monday's John Varvatos show for New York's Fashion Week. "It's a steak house," added the actor. "Really great. It's going to be really special for Vegas, a different flavor."
By that, Valderrama says he is referring to the "architecture, the chef, the vibe of the restaurant. There's a lot of great restaurants in Vegas, but this is exciting because it's a different branding, kind of next generation type things."
--Before Kathy Griffin won a creative arts Emmy last weekend for her reality show, "My Life on the D-List," she joked that an award would move her to the C-list. She was right: "C" as in censored. The TV academy said her raucous acceptance speech will be edited when the event, which was taped, is shown Saturday on the E! channel. The main prime-time Emmy Awards air the next night on Fox. "Kathy Griffin's offensive remarks will not be part of the E! telecast on Saturday night," the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said in a statement Monday. In her speech, Griffin said that "a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus." She went on to hold up her Emmy, make an off-color remark about Christ and proclaim, "This award is my god now!" (Am I off the reservation in thinking those comments, while not cool, aren't censor-worthy?)
--Simply Vera Vera Wang, has finally hit KohlÂ’s! Go to the store, or shop online!
--The TV commercial for Sean Combs' fragrance, Unforgivable, is too hot - even for cable. The spot shows Combs "going at it" with Jessica Gomez in a stairwell and a hotel room. But after MTV screened the ads, execs sent a list of edits Combs will need to make before censors will allow it to air. The offending footage includes Diddy "hiking up" Gomez's skirt, putting his hands under her dress, and a scene with another woman holding Gomez's breast and pulling down her underwear. Combs is refusing so far to edit his commercial. Last year, the print ads for Unforgivable were too hot for city bus stops.
Random Thought of the Day:
Check out this clip of an angry monologue by an anguished Britney fan. It was truly one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile! My favorite part is when he (she?) mentions that Brit's not well. Oh really? Thanks for pointing that out, Dr. Freud.

It appears that Brit is not the only one who isnt well.

- Stephanie Tanner has that "I'm going to have your child and then take all your money" look. Anyone else?
- Great, K-Fed is an actor now. Just kill me and get it over with.
- I think the Britney fan is a bored actress who can't find work. I'm sure in her mind, this was the best performance of her life (the actress, not Britney).

I totally agree with Iceman's assesment of the Britney freakout act.
If you bear watch the video again, you'll note not a single tear is actually shed, nor are the whites of her eyes particularly bloodshot, which is characteristic of someone truly grieving.
I should know...
Sincerely,
Orenthal

Shut Up, Kanye
--Kanye West, never known for holding his tongue, is railing against MTV after leaving empty-handed from Sunday's Video Music Awards, charging that the network misled him – and also exploited Britney Spears.
"They exploited Britney in helping to end her career," West told deejay JJ at New York radio station Z100 on Monday. "When Britney was opening [the VMA telecast], near the end, I felt so bad for her. I said, 'Man, it's a dirty game. This game will chew you up and spit you out.'"
The rapper doesn't just take umbrage with the handling of Spears, whose performance has been maligned by critics and fans alike. West tells Z100 he felt misled and "betrayed" by the network, and has promised to never work with MTV again. The rapper says he's already cancelled planned appearances on TRL to promote his new album Graduation. Specifically, West takes issue with the way performances were set up – that he should have performed on the main stage and not from a private suite where many artists performed for small groups of fans throughout the telecast.
"I wasn't mad that I just didn't win any awards," West says. "For me, [MTV] made it seem like performing on the main stage was a bad thing, and the suites were just so great. It was my dream when I made 'Stronger' to open up the VMAs with a real power performance. "And I just feel like I got betrayed by them," the rapper continues. "I feel like they tried to make it seem like I was so into everything that was going on in the show."
When JJ pointed out that West was being pretty blunt by speaking out against MTV, the rapper responded in a characteristically unapologetic fashion: "I have a connection in the fans' heart that the press can't stop."

I think he's kinda right. I don't know what he was promised or whatever- but mtv execs do have suspicious behavior. Everyone was waiting to see what Brit would come up with bc she's been so crazy lately. If they wanted to ensure a great opening for the vma's they would have booked an artist at the top of their game. Also- what's with the whole pam's x's fight? Like mtv doesn't know there is bad blood there. Come on- they were hoping for it. I think if mtv keeps up turning their events into trash-a-thons those awards won't meet a damn thing.

Kanye drives me nuts with his racism banter all the time, and he needs to just make music and stop talking to the press, BUT he is pretty damn talented.
Anyone else see the replay of the VMAs -- other than the one that immediately followed the show? They have edited out so much ... namely, Sarah Silverman's monologue -- THANK GOD -- it was just vulgar, not funny, and I continue, to this day, to not understand why people think she's funny. Just because it's a female being vulgar? They took out the Paris bits, the part where she used her lips to mimick ... well, if you saw it you know what I'm talking about. And MTV listened to Kanye because they bleeped out Pamela saying "fiance" -- though it was pretty funny when she was like, "shut up, Tommy!" because he kept whistling and yelling when she was speaking.
I thought Kanye's performance through all of those rooms and onto the balcony high up in the sky was pretty sweet.
