Ken’s Back, Tranny’s Back
Kev Paves has returned, and just behind him, so has Jessica Simpson’s tranny. Banished under the classier eye of Harley Pasternak, The Tranny has been resurrected by her tacky ass stylist – both in Miami to celebrate the launch of her new swimwear line. As you can see, Ken brings out the cheap. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I’ve lived a deprived life, I think. Because up til yesterday I’d never ever peered inside a Hooters. But it’s summertime in Toronto and Hooters on John Street is open to the sidewalk so for the first time, I saw for myself the Orange Shorts. Amazing. Must dine there today.
It’s Friday – the LA Galaxy will “present” David Beckham at what they call a “low key” ceremony this afternoon. Something like 400 journalists expected, not known if Victoria and the boys will show but it’s not like her to pass up an occasion, non?
Finally the weekend! Enjoy!
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
PS. This is for Vee: the evil C can kiss my Chinese ass. Stay positive… am thinking of you.
Homo to Homo
As my colleague Deano said earlier: too easy. Check out John Travolta chatting up John Waters last night following the Hairspray premiere. It’s all in the wrist, you know? No but seriously...isn"t Revolting rockin" the great hair? Those plugs totally worked! Full Story
TIFF: Love Triangle Looms…and Clooney too
As mentioned last week, TIFF this year is boasting a killer lineup with Cate and Clive and Colin and Gosling already confirmed to show their latest prestige projects. More confirmations just in, more super A List names will be touching down in Toronto in September. Full Story
The Best & The Rest
Once upon a time, they said Britney would take her crown. And I agreed. Now upon a time, no one who can live up to the legacy. Not yet. Perhaps not ever. Which is why she is Madonna. Other observations: did you love Keith Urban’s set with Alicia Keys? Loved. Without Granny Freeze, perhaps there is something there. Full Story
Old School Runway
Galliano for Dior Haute Couture Fall Winter 07/08 – always over the top, always exquisite, always completely impractical…but it’s couture, right? Why be sensible if you can afford a 50 thousand dollar dress? This year however marked the House of Dior’s 60th anniversary and on the heels of the sudden death of Galliano’s stalwart best friend Steven Robinson, anticipation for the show was particularly heightened with many wondering if John could possibly pull it off without his right hand.

My Kiki’s Tiara
Kiki at Elton John’s Annual White Tie & Tiara Ball on Thursday. LOVE her tiara interpretation, don’t you? Instead of the wedding crown Liz Hurley insists on overplaying year after year, here’s my Kiki making it her own. Bless her for never being safe. Kirsten has been in London for several weeks shooting How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, Toby Young’s uncomfortably hilarious account of his time at Vanity Fair – unparalleled assery that he managed to turn into a book and a stage production. Full Story
Pene and the Pisser
Who hasn’t she been linked to? New rumours buzzing from the NY Daily News, even though she and Josh Hartnett are said to be hot and heavy, Penelope met John Mayer the other day and he apparently wants to pee on it. She doesn’t seem like the type to take it, non? Of course if you believe the rabid rumour mongering – she did after all spend 2 years with the Gay Midget Dwarf – the allegedly bearding Pene especially wouldn’t take it from a dude, which all just adds to her enigmatic romantic status. Full Story
Fondle Me Homo
New Travolta interview with The Toronto Star to promote Hairspray, predicted to be one of the top earners at the box office earners this summer. Really??? Call me Cruise and maybe I just hang with the wrong people because no one I know is going to see Hairspray. Are you going to see Hairspray? Will you pay to see John revel in being a woman? From the sounds of it, he really did revel in it. Full Story
This Is Why
Said it time and again – the reason Johnny Depp is not on the Freebie Five is because Johnny Depp is a Lifetime. More than just one night of raucous rockin’ of your headboard, with Johnny, why and how would you say goodbye? Check it out - a clip from Julia of Johnny promoting Pirates in the Land of Hello Kitty, with Junior Hello Kitties, at once absurd and yet adorable, Johnny the guest of honour attending a children’s performance meticulously choreographed and rehearsed on his behalf. Full Story
Homo’s Hidden Hours
Most insightful interview ever: John Travolta in the latest issue of Parade talking family life, Church life, and drag life. Is amazing! And intriguing too… Consider this – John says that in order to thwart the pappies and establish a normalcy around their family life without sacrificing privacy he, Kelly, and the kids sleep during the day and stay up half the night. Full Story
Jen’s new cover
After a slump last year, Stephen Huvane has come out swinging. Brilliant, brilliant manoeuvres of late and a formidable sparring partner for the Pitts – matching them move for move so far after getting his ass handed to him last year. Love it. Last week we were teased – Jennifer Aniston spotted with a new dude, reported by People. Full Story
Vanity Fair: The Africa Covers
“These are incredible people of our time, involved in this effort to make Africa better, to get Africa self-sufficient, and to try to get rid of aids on the continent." Shot by Annie Leibovitz on 20 different covers – 21 major names posing for Africa like a “visual chain letter” promoting awareness and discussion about the future of Africa. Full Story
Shameful Attraction
Am embarrassed. Call me Cruise but have to be honest… since his haircut, John Mayer has been crossing the Hot/Not Spectrum, gliding from Nasty Pasty to Surprisingly Sexy. Am I off my tree? Is it clever photography? Have a look – promo shots of a much prettier John…not enough to quiver but certainly enough to stare. Full Story
