Mos Def Gossip
Most definitely. Yum. Here’s Mos Def at the 2008 American Black Film Festival held at the Sofitel on Friday. That tell all book from his estranged wife was just published recently…you hear about that? Mos Def married some woman 3 or 4 days after meeting her in 2005. Rumoured to be a starf*cker type, allegedly counting many celebrities and star athletes on her resumé. Full Story
B list actress and famewhore, loves to “accidentally” run into pappies in an effort to wipe clean a pandering past by pimping her kids, lost a friend and gained a potential paycheque but got dumped when he found out she’s a golddigger, and now apparently can’t find work… Definitely the work of Karma Calamity. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
So they’ve finally removed Paris Hilton from that cushy little room at the infirmary and transferred her back to Lynnwood where she’ll likely serve out the remainder of her sentence in solitary, on a hard little bed hopefully with her head beside a festering toilet.
Our last days of joy before her disease lashes out in freedom, stronger than ever, with that greedy little fool Barbara Walters shoved half way up her ass. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Sorry… have been distracted the last few days trying to get over a new book and it’s time for a new recommendation anyway. The Post Birthday World by Lionel Shriver – an extremely uncomfortable read, as is the case with everything else she writes including of course We Need to Talk About Kevin. She has that gift of sneaking up on you, subtly forcing you to confront the worst parts of yourself, the parts so easy to suppress during a dinner party as you collectively rage against the common enemy only to realise later on that you have more in common with it than you think. Definitely NOT a beach read but a read that stays with you for ages.
Thursday, posting all day, refresh browser often.

PS. Thanks to what seems like the entire city of Calgary for the thorough, insightful description of Cowboys. Hot girls who rub up against dude for big tips – as much at $10K during Stampede – and who apparently get half a boob job paid for if they stay six months … sounds like my kind of place. Am headed to Calgary late July…will have to drop in.
Definitely not cocaine… no no, not Kate Moss. Here she is with white powder all over her legs last night – totally exaggerated of course by the gossip media. Which brings to mind all those other reports – the ones from a few months ago, when she was signing so many new modeling contracts, in the UK tabloids about her pleading with Pete Doherty get clean and doing what she could to make it happen. Full Story
Don’t mean to gloat but this is why I hate Bump Watch. Totally not interested. Click here for a refresher. So six weeks ago, it was practically a forgone conclusion from MANY of you that she was pregnant. At the time, I wrote that her boobs didn’t match the bump, and seriously…just because someone’s a little bloated, or isn’t sporting a Hollywood concave stomach, doesn’t mean there’s a baby on board. Full Story
Few women would attempt this … look. Only the Cheesiest of the Cheese: Diva Cheese. Celine, Cher, Mariah… Lopez. Definitely an eyesore but always good for a giggle. JLo in NYC promoting the Spanish album. Full Story
Seriously…bring on a new season already, feels like it’s been forever!
Here are the boys shooting on Rodeo Drive the other day, finally back at work – not sure why Adrien/Vince is rockin’ the blaxploitation ‘do but for me, that’s his dealbreaker. His hair sucks ass. And to be honest, isn’t he really the LEAST interesting of the lot? Used to be Ari but these days, I’m all about Drama. Full Story
She looked stunning, similar to how she looked in that Sex coffee table book over a decade ago. Which is kinda weird but whatever. Definitely not as weird as her chemistry with her husband.
You see it in the photos all the time – his grip on her, always clasping her arm tightly like there’s no other way to walk out as a couple. Full Story
She came out of nowhere but no one was more beautiful tonight than Christina Ricci. The gown – total gorgessity. And her skin, her hair, she’s getting older, her features are becoming more pronounced, more defined, and it turns out Christina Ricci has the most amazing nose.
Believe me, I know noses. Full Story

Definitely not Jake Gyllenhaal but have a look at that tie. That tie is a thing of beauty. Grey suit, brown sparkly tie… fantastic.
It’s so hard to spice up menswear. Kinda impressive that Pip was the one to do it.
Full Story
She’s limp…for sure. Maybe not the brightest girl on the block. Definitely needs some more spunk…and I ragged on her hardcore for it on The Aftershow on MTV the other day after The Hills Canadian premiere, especially when she had her ass kicked by one of the most powerful women in her industry and instead of crying about THAT, she continued to pine for Jason. Full Story
Definitely the lowest profile member of the family – until now, that is. Especially if the directing gig begins to blossom. As you can see, there’s no doubt they’re siblings, and some of you have also mentioned that he bears a striking resemblance to Chris Martin, with MUCH better teeth, but I have to tell you – I don’t see it. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Forget community service and a charitable donation – rehab appears to be the new celebrity PR quick fix. Whether you’re a racist or an obnoxious 20 year old with an irresponsible mother or a womanising country music star married to a Freeze Face or an actor who hates the gays, clearly the message in Hollywood these days is to blame the sauce or the drugs and get your ass into treatment as soon as the shit hits the fan…COINCIDENTALLY as soon as the shit hits the fan.
In a word?
Weak.
Thursday – busy day, live blogging, check back often for fresh posts.
Highlight of the week? Definitely Paris Exposed. On the off chance you haven’t heard – she was moving, she put her belongings in storage, she forgot to pay the measly $200 bill, her stuff was auctioned off, purchased by a few entrepreneurial fellows, catalogued, scanned, and posted on the web for your viewing pleasure…at a price, of course.
I’m too cheap to fork over $39.99 for the privilege of seeing Paris coked up and doped up and naked and probably taking it up the ass 24/7 but hey – you might enjoy it. And if you do…SEND DETAILS.
For a taste before you buy – click here for the trailer…yes, half the free world has goosed her and YES, she absolutely does tell the camera that:
I get f*cked in the butt for coke.
For clips and screencaps, hats off to the wickedly dirty Jesus Martinez at Drunken Stepfather for gettin’ his smut on so quickly with the coverage.
CAUTION: Not safe for work…but seriously, if there was ever any, any, any doubt about Paris Hilton, about just how f&cking nasty she really is, about whether or not she too is a frequent “bathroom visitor” much like Britney and Lindsay, you really should check it out…because Paris Hilton is ROCK BOTTOM.

Dear Gossips,
Sundance – the Swag is obnoxious and the Poseurs are obnoxious but Sundance is also the great equaliser. In a town where, theoretically, it’s too cold for famef&ckers to toss their tits and bits about for attention, bundling up means concealing the flesh, and when your eyes aren’t drawn to sensory skank overload, it actually means the Boys have a chance.
And Sundance is FULL of pretty boys. Beautiful boys. Famous and not famous milling about Main Street and not all of them gay…
Heaven.
Still…back to the famef&ckers – seriously, I love them. Women of all ages and sizes trying like ass to get in, sneak in, bribe their way in anywhere THEY happened to hanging, no matter what the cost or consequence.
Saturday night we were at the MySpace/Tao party – Pharrell and Mos Def scheduled to perform, Diddy showed, Sienna showed, almost everyone showed – and these tramps were crashing the door, literally crashing the door, begging security with the most pathetic but creatively inspiring promises, willing to offer their first born for the privilege of partying with the blessed… It’s the kind of shameless blowing you can’t help but admire.
Full Sundance report below and more…
Monday – live updates in between travel. Check back often for fresh posts, scroll below for late articles from Friday.

PS. Much appreciation to Mackage for the warmest, most beautiful coat ever – so gorgeous even the girls at the Fred Segal lounge were impressed. Tune in to eTalk tomorrow to check it out. And also to Shelley and Gina from the MAC Cosmetics Pro Team, providing makeup services for celebrities at Sundance, for getting my face on for a full weekend of partying. Thank you, love you, owe you!
PPS. Canada – be proud. We are represented in fine fashion this year at Sundance with Sarah Polley leading the way. The film is called Away From Her and is already generating lofty expectations for a possible Award Season run in 07/08.
Dear Gossips,
Gwyneth is coming. Gwyneth is coming to Sundance.
Honestly, there are parts of the day when I think about this and I can hardly breath.
The best part about Sundance so far? Definitely the poseurs – Kfed lookalikes flanked by scantily clad famef*ckettes cruising Main Street looking for celebrities…almost as enjoyable as going to a hockey game and observing the Hockey Whores.
Oh…and Robert Redford is a stud.
Saw him at the opening press conference yesterday, like all movie stars he was shorter than you’d expect but still kinda hot. In that older dude kinda hot way. And hair the most mesmerising shade of…
Yellow. Wrinkled but sexy weathered wrinkles that go well with his deep voice and thoughtful banter and his willingness to say whatever the hell he wants. Many of you have observed that Brad Pitt bears a striking resemblance 20 years younger and if that really is where he’s headed – definitely NOT a bad thing.
Star-filled weekend ahead, will keep you posted if I don’t freeze first.
As for Isaiah Washington? Maybe I’m just a grudge-keeping petty ass bitch but what’s an apology with a gun to your head? Does “Sorry” really mean “Sorry” when it comes only out of consequence?
Nope. Not to me. Can his ass. Hire someone else. Let him watch Burke from the privacy of Unemployment Central as he entertains offers from Patricia Heaton for a talk show about “Family Values”.
Friday – blogging throughout the day, check back often for new posts, and have a great weekend!

At the GM Style Show on Saturday.
What is it about Jay Z? Definitely not empirically good looking….probably far from, in fact.
And yet…there’s something, you know?
It’s the way he looks in his clothes, I think. Jay Z has great clothes, better clothes perhaps than Puffy Diddy Daddy. And an air of something rather distinguished. Full Story
If it were up to me, she’d be single and lookin’ for Colin Farrell. Unfortunately for Colin, Scarlett has other plans and after bungling his relationship with her the first time ‘round, it appears that Josh has groveled his way back into Scarjo’s good books and the lucky sod was proudly making out with her in NYC last week. Full Story
Look how it wilts against Leo. Orly de-whiskered of late, with a true heavyweight at the Ecofabulous Party Benefiting Global Green yesterday, perhaps getting some helpful pointers about how to evolve from teen scream to legitimate actor beyond sprouting a few sparsely placed chin hairs.
But is it too late? If he couldn’t live up to the manly quotient for the Crusades, how will he ever overcome the whimpering whisker?
Definitely a career crossroads for Orlando Bloom. Full Story
A wild 3 weeks, she’s acknowledged as much, but the response is cheeky and light and warm and most importantly, it is encouraging. And this is what I meant last week when I compared Britney’s brain to my dog’s - small, low functioning, with remarkable flashes of brilliance. Full Story
Despite what you may think, this is NOT a wax figure of my Posh. It is actually her, in the flesh, at the Bambi Awards in Stuttgard, alongside Karl Lagerfeld who must have been in a good mood since he didn’t bitchbeat her concrete tits with his Bitchbeating Fan.
Actually, the Bitchbeating Fan seems to be missing, though the fashion torture gloves are present and accounted for and not put into use. Full Story
