A Drunken Stephanie Pratt Feels The Credit Crunch

Stephanie Pratt’s wallet could use a little help. Elton John’s too old for kids. And Colin Farrell knocked up his girl. That and much, much more in your Tuesday gossip roundup!

• Ha! Here’s a dose of reality: The Hills “star” Stephanie Pratt tried to buy a bottle of champagne at a VMA after-party and her credit card was declined. She was later seen crying hysterically. [Page Six]

• Speaking of “reality”, apparently no real socialites want to hang out for Tinsley Mortimer’s reality show, so producers are trying to concoct new A-listers to help provide some energy, because Mortimer is not “dynamic” enough to carry the show on her own. That’s hardly surprising, but still amusing. [Page Six]

• There’s video of Michael Jackson making the shocking confession that he was a pain killer addict. [The Sun]

• Jennifer Grey says she will always remember Patrick Swayze—and his arms—with fondness. Funny, because we always heard that they hated one another. [ET]

• Katy Perry sure does get around—and doesn’t have the best taste. The singer was spotted smooching John Mayer last Friday and then, after Sunday’s VMA awards, locked lips with Russell Brand. Bleck. We need a mint just thinking about it. [Page Six]

• Brittany “Bre” Scullark, a semifinalist on America’s Next Top Model, was arrested for disorderly conduct in New York City yesterday and berating another woman at Starbucks. We all have our ugly side, huh? [TMZ]

• Ouch! Kim Kardashian wanted to meet Gerard Butler, but he told a would-be facilitator, “No thanks.” [MSNBC]

• Oh no! Elton John announced he wanted to adopt a Ukrainian lad, but officials claim that, at 62, he’s too old. [NYDN]

• Speaking of old men: Harrison Ford says he’s signed on for the fifth instalment of the Indiana Jones franchise. Because the world needs more bullshit movies, right? [People]

• Colin Farrell has successfully impregnated his girlfriend, Alicja Bachleda. [People]
