Double Entendre
I dunno why I think it's funny ... it just seems very ironic to make a joke about Audrina Partridge "double fisting" especially when you consider that in the same day the nekkid pics of Audrina also came out as well:
You know, she had to know that these pics would get released one day. At some point during the first season of The Hills when she started getting more famous ... well, more well-known ... that she had to know that "those pictures" were still out there and they might get released one day. In fact, if you consider the speed with which her statement came out confirming that she is, in fact, the topless girl in the photos you have to think that she's prolly been prepared for their release for some time now. She did the right thing tho ... own up, weather the storm and move on. I can only think that this will do wonders for ratings of The Hills. [Source, Source]

Who Let The Dog Out?
Entertainment Weekly has just posted this first look at the new Wolf Man along with a short interview with make-up man Joe Johnston who created this new monster:
It's been 67 years since the Wolfman first attacked the box office, but he'll be making a comeback next year in a remake by Joe Johnston (Hidalgo, Jurassic Park III). Fortunately for all you lycanthrope fans out there who just can't wait that long, EW caught up with the horror flick's makeup artist, six-time Oscar winner Rick Baker, for an exclusive First Look at how he's transformed star [this Hollywood star] into the famed beastly creature.
Unless you already know who has been signed on to star in this movie, I think you'll find it near impossible to base your guess on this photo alone. Click HERE to find out who it is and to read the interview with Joe Johnston. [Source]

The TV Guide: Fil 'Er Up
Yes, folks, they are now members of the Chick-Fil-A fan club. As you can see by all of the empty containers on the tray, they enjoyed the food as much as I do :) We hung out in the mall for a bit afterwards and then it was back home again.
No big plans tonight ... I'm gonna try and grab food with a friend otherwise I'll be packing and working. No complaints at all, tho, life is good. I hope y'all's hump day is going well.

Mariah Parades Her Clout
"Not to give a woe-is-me moment, but it's not as easy as everybody thinks to have this kind of life," Mariah Carey tells PARADE's James Kaplan, during an interview in the backseat of her $400,000 Maybach Touring Sedan. "Even sitting here talking to you, I feel like there should be a bit of intimacy, and when there is always somebody else around, it's tough." Kaplan asks Carey flat out if she's a diva. She rolls her eyes and says, "They throw that word around like it's a friggin’ Frisbee! I grew up hearing it, because my mother is an opera singer. The actual definition is 'a talented female singer.' Definition two is 'a difficult woman who is successful,' I believe. So I take it as a compliment." Later in the interview, she tells Kaplan, "You know what? I guess I am a diva in many ways! When it comes to certain things, yes, I can be difficult and a little bit rigid about what I want. Am I demanding? I don't think I'm demanding enough. I think if I were more demanding, I would have felt that I had some sort of power, as opposed to feeling like a pawn, which is something I had to grow out of. You've got to go through some stuff," she continues. "Somehow people have to know there’s something that's not perfect about you. I had to learn to grow up a little bit. I feel like I connect to people through song because it's filling a void in me. I need to make music. If I didn't have this, I don’t know where I would be." Kaplan notes that Carey shows her emotions easily and seems touchingly—and oddly—eager to please. "My self-esteem has never been topping the charts," she admits. "You don't know who is here for the glamour, for the gossip factor. You really just want to know that somebody loves you for you. That's a difficult thing when, you know..." She hesitates. "Sometimes you just do really feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it."
Well, at least she owns her divaness because I really doubt she'd be able to reach her level of fame without having to throw her weight around a bit ... and to be honest, in my estimation, she's earned it. Mariah Carey has one of THE most successful careers in music history and she is showing no signs of stopping. Should she expect folks to fall at her feet in supplication every time she walks by? Of course not (well, okay, maybe sometimes) but she is deffo due her respect for being such a powerhouse in the music industry. The woman is the definition of fierceness (despite what Vicki B. may believe) because she has the talent to backup her persona. A viable and still very relevant performer who has even more #1 hits than a juggernaut like Madonna and may likely surpass Elvis Presley for the record absolutely has the right to extol her divaness. I say, bow down. [Source]

Parental Control
Photo credit: X17 and Splash News
Britney Spears divorced parents joined forces again last night in their continued efforts to restore normality to their troubled daughter's life. Jamie and Lynne Spears, who last year denied rumours of a romantic reconciliation, took the Gimme More singer for dinner at Malibu's Paradise Cove restaurant. But the 26-year-old looked less than thrilled to be spending the evening with her parents - she could barely muster a smile as they left the beach side venue ... While [Jamie] watches over the singer in LA, Lynne has spent most of her time in in Kentwood, Louisanna with the couple's pregnant 16-year-old daughter, Jamie Lynn. The friend told People magazine: "As a mother she feels needed in both places. She's doing whatever she can to help both girls. She's got that maternal instinct, and it's in high gear."
It is my hope that Brit's unhappy demeanor has more to do with the constant crush of media attention and little do with having her parents around her. I'm still in awe of how quickly and significantly her life has turned around in the short weeks that Papa Jamie has been in control of her life. Having her parents play an active role in her life is doing wonders for her professional and public image. Stay on course Britney ... steady as she goes. [Source]

LC Does Letterman; Keeps Her Clothes On

Lucky for LC her appearance on Letterman happened before those topless photos of her Hills cast mate Audrina Partridge made their way to the Interweb otherwise she might've had to answer questions and do damage control. Instead, all she had to do was answer fairly benign questions and play nice with David Letterman. Click HERE to watch video of her appearance on Letterman last night. [Source]

An Up Hills Battle For Damage Control
"Just in time for The Hills comeback ... We just posted the racy, naked photos of Audrina Patridge that she used to audition for Playboy. Sources say the beauty from a wealthy Orange County family was a natural in front of the camera and loved every second of the shoot at an LA mansion and was thrilled with the results -- particularly the raunchy schoolgirl pics. Lucky for us Playboy showed no interest in the pics."
Now, I am always very skeptical of these sorts of things when they first come out but it turns out that Audrina released a statement, thru her rep, acknowledging and confirming that she did take these photos:
"I took these photos years ago when I was just out of high school and beginning to model. I was young and very trusting of others and I didn't know to protect myself. It is a lesson learned, for myself, and hopefully for the young girls who look up to me."
Man ... no wonder Justin Bobby hung around for so long ... Audrina isn't as innocent as we previously believed. I wonder what this little scan-dal will do for the ratings on The Hills. Head on over to WWTDD to check out the full batch of NSFW images of Audrina and her hills. [Source]

A Show Of Farce?
Photo credit: Splash News
"I am delighted to confirm that Mr. and Mrs. Guy Ritchie remain happily married. Though they were in different countries recently – Madonna in the U.S. doing promotion for her upcoming album Hard Candy and Guy finishing up post production on his new film RocknRolla as well as completing a Nike commercial and working on several scripts in England – the family are joyfully back together at home in London. All is well and wonderful in the Ritchie household."
Suspicious? Maybe. Timely? Definitely. At this point, there will always be rumors going around that the couple may be on the brink of divorce (tho, even I have to admit that it looked pretty shady when Guy totally skipped out on attending Maddy's induction ceremony into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a couple of weeks ago) which may or may not be grounded in any sense of reality. Until an actual official announcement is made (if one ever will) that the couple are splitting it doesn't really make sense to speculate further. After all ... Madonna strikes me as the kind of person that would do everything absolutely necessary to ensure that she does not do what is expected of her. She is a woman of her own mind who does things her own way. No one is going to tell her that her marriage is over. [Source]
In other Maddy news, Andy Towle of the blog Towleroad made note of the fact that the customized prize fighter belt that Madonna has been wearing in promo photos for her new album Hard Candy is emblazoned with the nickname M-Dolla:
M-Dolla? Really, Madonna? This sounds like a new "J. Lo" fiasco waiting to happen. You just know in 3 years when Madonna

The Fugitive
Photo credit: Splash News
LaBeouf received a ticket February 18 in Burbank for unlawful smoking, a misdemeanor. He was supposed to appear in court at 8:30 AM, but neither he nor a lawyer showed -- so a $1,000 bench warrant was issued for Shia's arrest. Shia was allegedly smoking on the sidewalk outside a shop called Skyblupink, a gift shop, when cops cited him.
On the plus side, Shia isn't wanted by the cops for drunk driving or any such clichéd unlawful celeb bullshizz behavior like that ... and I do believe that he is the only famous person of note to risk arrest due to "unlawful smoking" ... that's kinda pimp, right? I'd be surprised if anything will ever come of this ... tho, I wouldn't mind another one of those fun mug shots that we never seem to get enough of 'round these here parts. [Source]

Uncover My Body
Should we really be surprised that Mariah Carey decided only to wear a feather boa-like garment and nothing else on the cover of her new album? After all, she does only wear a top hat on the cover of her first single Touch My Body. One thing's for sure, Mariah deffo stays true to her usual formula for doing things ... less is more, especially for promo pics. [Source]
