Could it be — a whole week gone past and Britney hasn’t taken her kids to a strip club, Paris has neither been spotted with a new multi-billionaire nor got into a fight with one of his ex-girlfriends and Lindsay Lohan hasn’t been hospitalised? Oh, wait…
Okay, none of those things have happened, but it’s not as if the usual suspects have been keeping entirely out of trouble.
First up — naturally! — is Paris. What she has managed to do lately is accidentally break-up Misha Barton’s relationship, take Lindsay partying when she should be in rehab and infuriate the gay community. Slow week, then.
Paris’s sometime friend, other-times enemy Misha Barton has just ditched her boyfriend Whitestarr frontman Cisco Adler, because he turned up stark nude in pictures on that parisexposed.com site (much of the content of which the court has now ordered to be removed).
“They had a blow-up. She was furious,” says an insider. But, come on, Misha — who in LA hasn’t got some story from their past involving Paris and nudity? And I’d have thought the fact that Cisco was at one time ‘engaged’ to Kimberly Stewart was enough of a tip-off that the guy was a loon.
In other news — Lindsay Lohan is living up life in rehab. Not only does she leave the facility to work on her movie (after the producers threatened to sue if she wasn’t allowed out), she’s also been generally out and about on the town and clubbing with Paris. Yup, she’s clearly going to make this work.
Just a thought, Linds — perhaps Paris isn’t the very best rehab-chum. Let’s just take a teensy little think back and remember what hooking up with a Hilton did for Britney, shall we?
And, now, Paris has come under fire from yet another group — the leaders of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). They’re none to thrilled about Paris’s repeated use of the term ‘f….t’ to refer to gay people. Ah, let’s just take a teensy little think back and remember what that word did for ‘Grey’s Anatomy’s Isaiah Washington, shall we?
The criticisms have come about because of newly-released footage of Hilton — also from the parisexposed.com site. Adding to the bonfire, is the fact that Paris has been shown referring to herself and sister Nicky as ‘n..gas’!
Says the President of GLAAD: “When Paris Hilton utters these words into a camera, it creates a permanent record that... she must bear responsibility for. These are not frivolous words, and to use them as if they are gives tacit sanction to the racism and homophobia they engender.”
“Hilton has an obligation to go on the record, explain herself, and publicly apologise to the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) and African-American communities and all those offended by these slurs.”
In my humble opinion, telling Paris not to be an offensive idiot is a lot like standing behind a donkey and asking it not to kick you in the head.
On to Britney! While she has indeed (to the best of my knowledge) not taken her boys to a stripclub, she has been dumped by her new man Isaac Cohen, poor woman.
According to the US’s ‘OK!’ mag, Isaac has been, “looking to get out of the relationship for a while”, because, “it was a bit much for him. There was a lot of drama — it was too much of a whirlwind.” A while? They were only together a month!
“He likes her. They had a good time together. He was doing his best to help her out — but there is only so much one person can do.” Translation: This is one ship I’m not going down with. Well, they’re plenty more men in Hollywood, Brit.
One who it seems she’ll have to strike off her list, though, is former boyfriend Justin Timberlake. Since his split with Cameron Diaz he’s been living up the single life — and keeping everyone thoroughly confused as to who he’s actually dating now, if anyone.
First there were those Scarlett Johansson rumours, then he was spotted getting very cosy with Jessica Biel after the Golden Globes and at the Sundance Film Festival — now, it seems, it’s back to Scarlett!
Word has it that Justin and Scarlett spent a weekend together in Miami, where they were seen out partying and then left together, holding hands, to go back to Timberlake’s hotel. Sounds like Justin isn’t quite ready to settle down into another relationship just yet — which is certainly one up on the usual Hollywood thing of instantly marrying someone else the second you break up with your partner.
Cameron Diaz doesn’t seem to have been throwing herself into the dating, or shagging, pool immediately post-Justin, but she hasn’t been idle.
She’s just bagged a colossal $3-million (that’s almost R21.5-million!) for one advert.
Of course, unlike Timberlake, she has stuck with Hollywood tradition and done this ad for the Japanese market only. US stars tend to shy away from doing commercials in America, which is seen as kind of slumming it, but are more than happy to cash in half a world away.
The ad features Cammie in an ultra-short bright-green dress and heels, chatting on her cellphone in New York City. So engrossed is she that she doesn’t notice a wild movie being shot all around her. Naturally, the point of this is that, um, this brand of mobile phone is — er — really engrossing? Hey, for that much money, I’d do many things even more nonsensical!
Finally, more news about Tinseltown break-ups…
Ryan Phillippe says that splitting from his wife of eight years Reese Witherspoon hasn’t been easy. “It's unfortunate when you have kids,” he admits, “but I signed up for this and have to deal with it. I don't read the magazines or watch the shows. It's hard when people follow me to my kid's school. This is the most difficult time in my life.”
Not much happier, I imagine, are ‘Van Wilder’ star Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morisette, who’ve just announced that they’ve ended their engagement and gone their separate ways.
And then there’s Kylie Minogue, who hasn’t exactly had the easiest time of it in the last while. Adding insult to injury is the fact that when Olivier Martinez broke up with her it was reportedly over the phone. Classy, Olivier. Not to mention, he was spotted just hours later out having fun with a mystery brunette. Hopefully that was his sister, but I’m not counting on it…
