Famewhores Glibness and forgiveness Tom Cruise’s tour of contrition continues. And … it’s working.

Britney Spears Chicken Fried Burgers & Abs Britney is currently touring Circus through Japan, giving the Hello Kitties convulsions. She stopped by a burger joint yesterday and chowed down with abandon. Then she appeared on Hey!Hey!Hey and showed off a set of sick ass abs. F-ck her and her 27 year old metabolism.

Bad Style Bit clowny? Very happy to see Cameron Diaz at the opening night of Shrek on Broadway last night in New York but … maybe a little too much makeup?

Cheating Loins Her home before the holidays? Carb Face Ryan Phillippe was greeted in Sydney at the airport by girlfriend Abbie Cornish the other day. Meeting the family? Over the holidays? How sweet.

Blind Riddles Cuba & Chocolate Two different megastars, two different preferences, but in the end, the act is the same. The first is a happy father, settled down and reformed, bankable and respected at the same time… a major player. Which is why it’s so important that he keeps his Cuban male lover hidden By Lainey • Dec 15, 2008 01:49 am

Karl Lagerfeld Chanel & Karl Coco Chanel is as intriguing as ever. Apparently Shirley MacLaine played her in a tv movie this year and was just nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance…? On the big screen though, perhaps the most highly anticipated Chanel is the Audrey Tautou version Coco Avant Chanel – first stills By Lainey • Dec 12, 2008 08:27 am
Girlcrushes That’s more my Kate Kate Winslet in London yesterday at a private screening of The Reader for which she just received a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe nomination.

Break Ups GOOPy’s fake boobies? Page Six is suggesting today that Gwyneth Paltrow got a boob job. Something about her flashing a nipple in her movie Two Lovers with Joaquin Phoenix and her breast looking like that of a 15 year old. It’s an assertion based solely on observation, they claim. Sigh. They don’ By Lainey • Dec 12, 2008 03:49 am
Quiveration Good Viggo, Grumpy Spittle Need some quiver on a Friday? Two options. My recommendation is Door #1. Viggo Mortensen last night in NY for the premiere of Good.
