Clay Aiken Trashes American Idol, Adam Lambert
12:15PM the cajun boy | Last night millions of American Idol fans tuned in to watch the show’s season finale. But you know who didn’t? Clay Aiken, who basically trashed everything about the show today on the subscription-only message board of his website, going so far as to say Adam Lambert made his ears bleed! More »
‘Uncool’ Update: Jennifer Aniston Was Just Fine Until Angelina’s Taunting
6:43AM STV | We already know Jennifer Aniston thinks Angelina Jolie’s spouse-theft is the very picture of “uncool.” But a little context couldn’t hurt in understanding the true depth of Aniston’s lingering antipathy over her split from Brad Pitt — like that whole part about Jolie’s “detailed timeline” of their illicit courtship on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Definitely uncool, says Aniston: More »
Jennifer Aniston Finally Weighs In on ‘Uncool’ Homewrecker Angelina Jolie
1:45AM STV | As if slow-motion footage of filmdom’s most adorable puppy wasn’t enough to make you race to see Jennifer Aniston’s holiday movie season entry Marley & Me, the star has Phase 2 of the film’s heart-tugging marketing campaign set to launch any day now. And we hear it’s a good one, too, with new promotional partner Vogue signing on for Aniston’s first public thwacking of husband-stealing Angeline Jolie.
Blonsky vs. Golden: Let’s Go to the Videotape!
3:40AM STV | While the early eyewitness accounts of last week’s Blonsky Family Reunion and Airport Rumble yielded enough specifics to suss young star Nikki Blonsky’s injuries, it wasn’t until today that we’ve finally seen the video that we knew would surface in the bloody aftermath. And what a scene it is, featuring Blonsky’s Long Island nemesis and America’s Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden standing firm as the Hairspray actress is dragged away, yelping for charges to be pressed. But what really makes the sparring special is the camerawoman’s inspired commentary: “She done decked the girl out, Tracy Turnblad… She won’t be dancing around here today.” No kidding: Both Blonsky and Golden were later charged with actual bodily harm (which, according to People Magazine, carries a maximum sentence of two years), while Blonsky’s father Carl faces even sterner judgment — a five-year maximum on charges of grievous bodily harm. And at the end of it all stands the steely-eyed Golden, prompting us to wonder exactly how such a lithe beauty could ever outmaneuver the infamous Blonsky Sandwich. So many questions! For now, though, follow the jump and bask in the play-by-play joy, live from Turks and Caicos. [TMZ] More »
When Party Girls Attack
10:46AM Clem Bastow | Anyone who has read Cleo or Cosmopolitan over the last five years or so will no doubt be familiar with the face of “PR chick” Roxy Jacenko, who is always happy to tell us all about her PR firm, the appealingly titled Sweaty Betty, and her exciting and fast-paced glamorous life. (She can also often be spotted in her natural habitat, generally at the opening of an envelope, sometimes with BFF and “dating expert” Samantha Brett.)
Well, imagine my delight when I loaded the Tele this morning to find that Roxy and her lil’ sister Ruby are currently in court over a sisters’ bitchfight at a club that allegedly led to Ruby socking Sweaty Sis square in the face!
Naturally the story has some delightful details:
“It’s been soul destroying for us all. I don’t want my 18-year-old sister to end up with criminal charges, but what she did to me, her sister, was completely and utterly out of line and unacceptable,” Roxy said, after the hearing yesterday.

Denise Richards V. Whoopi Goldberg: Who’s More Full Of Shit?
6:30AM Molly Friedman | Just hours after professing her dedication to zipping her lips when it comes to airing any dirty laundry from her marriage to Charlie Sheen on The Today Show, Denise Richards showed up on The View to dish with the gals. And though she wasn’t continuing her passive aggressive attack on Sheen’s sperm and promising us all that she just adores it (”I mean, we have two beautiful daughters!”), she went ahead and brought up her former bestie Heather Locklear in the conversation. As we all fondly recall, Denise appeared to have stolen Richie Sambora away from Heather and committed double adultery during the top secret couple’s many lobstery beach ventures. But it just isn’t true, says Denise, and Denise doesn’t do drugs, says Denise, and Denise is just not a whore so stop calling her that, says Denise. More »
This Day In Hollywood Catfight History Presents: When Bette Bludgeoned Joan
10:35AM Seth | We take a moment now to honour the memory of the two biggest bitches in Hollywood history—that would be Bette Davis and Joan Crawford—whose man-swiping, lesbian-overture-rebuffing, Oscar-campaign-sabotaging exploits provided the behavioral template for generations of shock starlets to come. Today’s Daily Mail provides a highly engrossing and detailed account of their lifelong rivalry, its poisonous roots stemming of course over ownership of a man—in this case, actor Franchot Tone. (He might not look like much, but trust us—this guy was totally the Joel Madden of his day.) It all came to a head on the set of the 1962 sleeper thriller that would offer both women not only an unlikely comeback, but all the near-fatal accident-rigging they could handle: More »
After Tear-Soaked Evening, Lindsay Lohan Finds Comfort In ‘The Hills’
4:40AM Molly Friedman | While it’s always difficult getting used to living with a new roommate, it’s not as though Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson met on Craig’s List. After years of jaunting off to Tokyo, tag team DJ nights and generally painting the town pink like two regulars at Truck Stop Fridays, their most recent squabble sounds less like a trivial fight over a messy apartment and more like a rip-roaring catfight one sees at female roller derby tournaments:
Once Upon A Time, There Were Three Little ‘Charlie’s Angels’ Who Hated Each Other’s Guts, Recalls Conan O’Brien
3:05AM Seth | Conan O’Brien was the lead guest on The Tonight Show last night, and he graciously left behind his tape measure and fabric swatches, while Jay Leno kept his passive aggressive put-downs of his scheduled usurper to a comfortable minimum. Among his entertaining anecdotes, Conan recalled the time he hosted the Emmys of two years ago—before Fox got their cracked-out claws into them, and transformed the ceremony into a one-ringed-circus presided over by Master of Women’s-Footwear-Identifying-Ceremonies Ryan Seacrest. Describing the tense scene from the wings, Conan recalled an increasingly desperate stage manager giving a live play-by-play of the Charlie’s Angels diva-feud that could very well have altered the course of Aaron Spelling Production cast reunion history forever.
