John Stamos Goes Mental Extravaganza!
2:32PM Jess McGuire | We can barely come up with words to describe the following YouTube video of John Stamos running amok on Kerri-Anne’s morning show, so we’ll turn to Stamos’ mortal enemies over at Sydney Confidential to sum things up.
Channel 9 was forced to cut short Stamos’ media schedule for the medical drama after he went on a second tirade in two days, during an appearance on Kerri-Ann Kennerley’s morning show yesterday.
…
The former Full House heartthrob went on the attack when Kennerley asked about his tired and emotional condition, which network publicists had earlier tried to pass off as “jet lag.”
More from Sydney Confidential’s article – and video of John Stamos behaving like a total nutter – after the jump. More »

Paris Hilton Tastes Her Freedom, And It Tastes A Lot Like Taco Bell
10:38AM Defamer Hollywood | It truly is a wonderful time to be young, thin, obscenely wealthy, and not currently in jail, and so in honour of a certain internationally beloved heiress who just happens to be all four of those things, we proudly present this round-up of Paris Hilton updates from around the web: · A copy of Paris’s prison canteen order (pause for completely understandable shock that such a jail convenience exists) included soy sauce packets, a banana nut muffin, emery boards and an eyebrow pencil. [TMZ] · A 9:30 a.m. home appointment with DreamCatchers Hair Extensions meant Paris was weavetastic and ready to conquer Robertson by the noon hour. [Us] · The first day of freedom was spent at her parents Bel-Air estate, where pink balloons, a cake, and a “Pick Me Up (From Jail)” bouquet greeted her upon her arrival.

9:52AM Defamer Hollywood | At around 12:15 a.m. LA time last night, Paris Hilton was quietly released from the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, ending a 23-day sentence so harrowing that the troubled heiress found God and has publicly rededicated a life notoriously defined by the hollow pursuit of unearned fame to serving, like, cancer kids or other jail-type people, you know, whatever the publicist tells her will get those angry mobs to not show up at her the debut of her new Incarcerated perfume burning her orange-jumpsuited effigy. As you can see in the above video, the late-night release was effective in easing press congestion around the prison, drawing only the most dedicated two hundred or so local journalists to bathe the reborn heiress in the warm, familiar light of their flashbulbs, making Hilton’s emotional reunion with her mother every bit as special as the typical night out at Hyde.

Paris Hilton: America’s Muse
9:50AM Defamer Hollywood | Like any seminal moment in culture, socialite-cum-muse Paris Hilton’s 23-day incarceration has inspired the production of great art, and not just from the photographers who captured the indelible image of the heiress weeping in the back of a police car as she was cruelly torn from of the comforting womb of home-imprisonment. Above, find two examples of the exciting output of two local artists: at left, the Century Regional Detention Facility’s most talented inmate presents her unofficial jailhouse biographers at TMZ with a self-portrait and thank-you note for their “fair and unbiased reporting of the events in my case”; at right, artist Leon Leonard Jr. awaits Hilton’s release so that he can share an airbrushed tribute that breathtakingly captures a spirit that could not be crushed by a tragic miscarriage of justice.

Lindsay Lohan Showing Troubling Early Signs Of Rehab Addiction
9:46AM Defamer Hollywood | Lindsay Lohan’s crash-and-burn Memorial Day tailspin has had significant implications for her summer social calendar: Cancelled, for example, was her 21st birthday soirée in a Vegas nightclub, in which she was to be lowered by crane into a swimming-pool-sized martini glass, where she’d remain submerged until she had ingested all of the sponsored contents, save for two oversized prop olives. Still, sacrifices needed to be made, and her ongoing treatment at Promises has proven so successful, she’s opted to extend her stay, says intermittently present mother figure, Dina Lohan: The 20-year-old actress has decided to put in some extra time battling her demons, postponing her planned exit next week from Promises in Malibu. “She’s going to be doing extended care. It was her choice,” Lohan’s mother, Dina, said as she appeared at a Long Island courtroom for a conference on her ex-husband’s request for visitation rights with their children. More »
Defence Finds Expert Willing To Testify Phil Spector Had Nothing To Do With Actress’s Murder
9:38AM Defamer Hollywood | It’s been a little while since last we’ve checked in with the Phil Spector trial, in which time the defendant’s trademark blonde bob has sadly lost its bounce and luster (see left). Still, not all hope is yet lost for the genius hit-maker who stands accused of murder, as the first expert witness for the defence insisted the gunshot that killed B-movie actress and House of Blues hostess Lana Clarkson was entirely of her own doing: Dr. Vincent DiMaio, a physician with a specialty in forensic medicine, spent more than an hour giving jurors an impressive history of his credentials and a professorial lecture on the science of analysing gunshot wounds before attorney Christopher Plourd asked for his conclusion on the manner of Clarkson’s Feb. 3, 2003, death. “She died of a self-inflicted wound,” said DiMaio. “There is no objective scientific evidence that anyone else held the gun. Everything else is speculative. The physical evidence is consistent with her having the gun and her having discharged the gun.” [...] More »Bruce Willis Unwisely Creates Bomb Association For New ‘Die Hard’ Sequel
9:10AM Defamer Hollywood | So overcrowded is the movie marketplace that the only way to distinguish one’s upcoming blockbuster product from the blowing-shit-up competition is to hit the talk show circuit and recreate some of the fun that awaits fickle moviegoers upon their next trip to the multiplex.

A Loose-Lipped Isaiah Washington Gets Head Start On Sabotaging Next Network Job
8:17AM Defamer Hollywood | Former Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington has been devoting a good portion of his newly cleared schedule to the granting of angry, uncensored interviews, in which he connects the not-so-obvious dots to help us better see T.R. Knight as the Machiavellian, closet-exiting opportunist he truly is. And while the natural impulse for most of us would be to set up folding chairs in order to take in one of the most spectacular career-immolations in recent memory, Washington is quick to point out to EW that the offers have been flooding in since Dr. Burke’s untimely demise: Recently dismissed “Grey’s Anatomy” co-star Isaiah Washington is in discussions with NBC about a deal, sources said. It was not clear whether NBC is interested in bringing Washington onto an existing series or casting him in a new project. More »
