Of all the upsetting things people say about Silvio Berlusconi, perhaps the most disturbing is that he is "natural." More »

Jessie Spano/Nomi Malone Writes Self-Esteem Book For Girls

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:45:00 EDT

Elizabeth Berkley—best known for her roles in Saved by the Bell and, of course, Showgirls—has written a book called Ask Elizabeth based on her website, which was apparently created out of some kind of demand of teen girls seeking advice from the actress. This morning, she discussed her book on Today, and while she mentioned that the biggest problem that she notices with teen girls is body image issues, she didn't say whether brown rice and vegetables was a suitable solution. Additionally, it remains to be seen if the book addresses what to do when you become so excited, so excited, so…scared. Same goes for what age, exactly, is too old for that "whore-y look." More »

Stripped

Sadie Stein — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:10:00 EDT

The economy's hitting Wall Street hard. And obviously one of the first areas to feel the pinch — or lack thereof — is the exotic dancing racket. With all the big spenders hitting the proverbial breadline — or at least cutting back on, um, luxuries — TMZ says, "we're told first-hand by the pole-gymnasts at joints like the Penthouse Executive Club in NYC" that the champagne room is dead and that the bills being thrust at them are now singles. The thing is: You can't tell until you look later, so you always have to give 100%. Right? [TMZ] More »

It's time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the advice column in which everyone's problems are solved with an "herbal" remedy. (Remember, kids: Don't do drugs!) In this episode, the Hoda to my Kathie Lee, Rich, helps me dole out advice on stuff like death, balls, and hobos. Got a burning question? Send it to tips@jezebel.com with "Pot Psychology" in the subject line. (Please keep them short; they're verrrry hard to read when stoned.) More »

Remember how weird it was when you first...

Moe — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:20:00 EDT

Remember how weird it was when you first learned your childhood TV nerds were actually stupid? Like Tracey Gold, who seemed so smart on Growing Pains, and Jessie Spano a.k.a. Elizabeth Berkley, whose poignant account in yesterday's Page Six Magazine of how she got roped into Showgirls nearly brought us to excited, scared tears. Click the pic for the choice quotes. More »

With Any Luck, Anna Nicole Will Be The Next Showgirls

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:00:00 EST

Above is the "official" trailer for Anna Nicole, the biopic about the dearly departed model/diet pill spokeswoman/reality TV star starring Willa Ford in the title role (and a cameo by Bobby Trendy). The voice over claims it is "the most anticipated motion picture of the year," and we'd be big fat liars if we didn't say we whole-heartedly agree. This movie looks just as cheap, seedy and campy as its source material. It began shooting about six weeks (or less) after Anna died, and wrapped in May 2007. There's still no release date, but evidently, this thing is headed for the big screen, when initially, it was supposed to be a TV movie of the week type thing. More »

Celebrity Rehab: Daniel Baldwin Claims Mary Carey's Breasts Are A Relapse Trigger

Celebrity Rehab is a really raw show that actually goes there. During the group therapy session, Jeff Conway disclosed one of the demons haunting him — as a young boy, he'd been sexually abused and it was filmed, making him the subject in a piece of child pornography. After that confessional, the gang had a BBQ pool party. Mary Carey jumped into the pool in a wife beater with no bra, which Daniel Baldwin said made him and his wife so uncomfortable that he needed to leave the rehab facility. Daniel, however, had been coming up with a slew of excuses to leave the facility on day trips for a while, so blaming his final exit on a woman swimming in a tank top seemed not only low, but a lie. Suspicions were confirmed after he left, when Mary admitted that Daniel had been sending her (what we assume are naked) pictures of himself after lights out, and asking her to do the same. What an asshole pig! More »
