Celebrity Gossip Ad Infinitum: The Heidi Klum Birth Timeline
1:33AM Brian Moylan | Heidi Klum had a baby girl on Friday night. Congrats! Well, some gossip outlets shouldn’t be busting open the champagne, because while she was having the kid, they were fighting about whether or not she had it already. More »
Heather Locklear’s 911 Call Placed by Concerned, Paparazzi-Friendly Former ‘Us Weekly’ Staffer
3:20AM Kyle Buchanan | When we first heard about Heather Locklear’s weekend arrest for driving under the influence of a controlled substance, we were most interested in the curious detail of the sunglasses she repeatedly ran over. Turns out, the entire case is full of curious details, and here’s the biggest one: the witness who placed the call to 911 is a former Us Weekly staffer who’s under investigation by the FBI for hacking into the magazine’s computer system to locate celebrities. Oh, and she called the paparazzi immediately after her 911 call. Oh, and she also just happens to have a lucrative partnership with Locklear rival Denise Richards! Details and her kooky 911 call, after the jump: More »
‘Denise Richards’ Cancellation: It’s Complicated
8:50AM Kyle Buchanan | Didn’t we almost have it all, America? Why, it was just a few weeks ago when we learned that E! had mercy-killed its celeb reality show Denise Richards: It’s Complicated, leading to cheers, emailed hugs, and exultant praise to God around the blogosphere. “Just when I think there’s no redeeming the entertainment industry as a whole,” said one of our commenters, “somebody makes a smart move like cancelling this famewhore’s piece of crap show, and I start to see a little glimmer of light on the horizon.” Get ready to bust out some candles, everybody: that glimmer’s gettin’ snuffed!

10:45AM Defamer Hollywood | Clothing Exchange! Katie Holmes isn’t simply a robot with human emotions — no, she’s also a style icon. Whether it’s her sunglasses, hairstyles, or leggings, she’s always been at the forefront of Scientologist chic…which is what made us question these baggy, rolled-up jeans she’s been sporting lately while rehearsing for her Broadway debut. Now, finally, Us Weekly breaks the story wide open: Holmes is merely wearing the jeans of her husband, Tom Cruise — and isn’t that the fun part of being a couple? As for the rolled-up ankles, we’ll leave that to Us: “A reason Holmes has been rolling them up? She’s 5′9″ and Cruise is 5′7″.” [Us Weekly, Photo Credit: Splash] More »
What US Weekly’s List Of Star Virgins Reveals About Teenage Girls
4:20AM Defamer Hollywood | Putting together a celebrity slideshow isn’t for the faint of heart: just ask our own Molly McAleer, whose titanic work in the pursuit of compilations could kill a lesser man (and has — don’t ask us about that intern in ‘06). So how do you survive filling out an eleven-page slideshow when your subject is that most rarest of species: celebrity virgins? Well, if you’re an employee at Us Weekly, you cheat a little, padding your list with both non-virgins and non-celebrities alike!

10:21AM Clem Bastow | “Our” Naomi Watts is apparently expecting another child with her partner Liev Schreiber – I say “apparently” because the ever reliable Us Weekly has the “exclusive”, and any “exclusive” that doesn’t “exclusively” involve the words coming “exclusively” out of Naomi Watts’ mouth is to be taken with a fairly large grain of salt.
So, “exclusively”, here’s the word from the mag:
Us Weekly has the “exclusive”, saying Naomi Watts, 39, is four months pregnant. The couple’s first child, Alexander “Sasha” Pete, is 11 months old.
When she was pregnant last year with her first child, her partner, Schreiber, 40, didn’t confirm the news until he casually told Conan O’Brien, “Yes, I’m going to be a dad.”
Naomi’s rep told Us she doesn’t comment on her client’s personal life.
See? Your story is on shaky ground when even Confidential calls it an “exclusive” (i.e. with the sarcastic Clerks-esque inverted commas).
So, Defamer Australia tentatively congratulates the happy family, with the small print on the congratulations reading “These warm-hearted congratulations become null and void if Us Weekly’s exclusive turns out to be total rubbish”.
It’s only fair, really. More »
