Benji Madden

Loose Lips Angelina Jolie is in the hospital in the South of France to prepare for the birth of her twins. How come even a hospital in France sounds better than a basement in Brooklyn? • Spencer Pratt publicly apologized to Mary Kate Olsen, thus ending their entirely one-sided feud. "I apologize for getting caught up in trash talking, but she brought up an emotional subject when she mentioned the soccer stuff," Pratt attack told Us. • Want to dislike Paris Hilton even more than you already did? Peep this quote from her about new beau Benji Madden: "He is going to get [a tattoo] of me but he won't let me get one. He doesn't like tattoos on women. He thinks I look pure." Guess he didn't catch the sex tape then, eh? [People, Us, Dlisted]

Miley Cyrus: Fifteen & Topless in Vanity Fair

  • The new issue of Vanity Fair isn't out yet, but Miley Cyrus is already warning fans that she's mortified of the semi-topless pictures of herself inside. "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," she says. A starlet's first shameful shoot is a tale as old as time and a rite of passage, no? [Us Magazine]

Loose Lips This is so sad. David Beckham gave his sweat-soaked jersey to two young boys after a Los Angeles Galaxy game at Hawaii's Aloha stadium. Now, the boys' parents are duking it out in court to see who gets possession of the jersey. "My son got the shirt, their kid started trying to pry it away," said Wilfred Ho, who is the mother of one of the boys. The entire thing is so unbearably tacky. • Benji Madden ran over a paparazzo's foot last night leaving a club with Paris Hilton in the passenger seat. Benji drove away, and the photographer has filed a hit and run report. These tools really need to get drivers when they go out to clubs. It would save them a lot of money and legal wrangling. • Yesterday Carmen Electra announced her engagement to Korn guitarist Rob Patterson; today the pregnancy speculation begins.

Men Need To Stop Pulling "Bobby Browns" On Women's Careers

Over on the gossip blog "A Socialite's Life," editors are asking if Paris Hilton is "pulling a Yoko" with her new relationship to Good Charlotte's Benji Madden. First off, mentioning Benji Madden and John Lennon in the same sentence is borderline blasphemous. But even more gratingly, for years "Yoko" has been a shorthand for a "controlling" girlfriend or wife whose association with a rock star broke up a band and ruined everything. Not only is the maligning of Yoko is sexist, since it's not really her fault that the Beatles dissolved, it needs to be said that women aren't the only significant others who muck up creative production. Which is why I think there needs to be a male "Yoko" equivalent. I nominate "Bobby Brown" as in, "Bill Clinton really needs to back off on Hillary's campaign trail or he's going to be a total Bobby Brown." More »

She says the article "forced" her to announce her pregnancy." • Speaking of weight gain, Valerie Bertinelli said she embarked on her Jenny Craig journey because Victoria Principal implied she was chubby.

It was the kind of politely horrified reaction that had turned me into a Hollywood hermit." • Paris Hilton has been wearing a ring on her ring finger with the initials "B.M." branded on it.

The show, tentatively titled Living Lohan, will debut on E! this summer and revolves around Ali's attempt to jumpstart her showbiz career. • Is Benji Madden only hanging out with Paris Hilton to make ex Sophie Monk jealous?
