The World Wigs Out Over Angelina, Brad's Latest Additions

OMG twins! Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline were born to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt one minute apart on Saturday evening. Apparently Brad was in the delivery room as doctors performed a C-section on Angie: Knox weighed in at slightly over 5 pounds, and Vivienne weighed 5 pounds.

The number being thrown around is $11 million. [AP]

Barbara Walters Talks Shit About Former View Co-Hosts

Jessica — Fri, 02 May 2008 09:00:00 EDT

The problem with Miss Jones was not just her diva behavior (though Walters et. al. were embarrassed about her fiasco of a wedding to Big Gay Al) it was that Star made her View-mates lie about her gastric bypass. Walters writes: "Joy [Behar], in particular, resented having to go along with a lie that implied all one needed to do was situps and ingest one cookie instead of two."[NYDN]

Did Jimi Hendrix Really Wear His Lucky Headband When He Boned?

Moe — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:00:00 EDT

The Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape: has there ever been such a majestic parade of thoughtlings you never wanted to think? And the Hendrix estate having no comment: that means it's true, right? Or just that when you die your level of "shame" sinks down to Paris Hilton's? How did all those private detectives embark upon their "probe"? (I mean, private investigators: they can't get jobs like this a lot, right? It's pretty obscure shit. Think that in the course of this investigation, they uncovered some Lost Art of Boomer Sex Taping that predated the present Sex Tape era but everyone forgot because they were high, the way it went with the Chinese/gunpowder/opium? Will we ever know for sure? What was the first sex tape? If someone taped you having your haziest one night stand, unbeknownst to you, and then posted it on the internet, would you even be able to recognize yourself? And if the answer to that is "no," is that a good thing? Because my answer is no. Oh wait, and also am I the only one who didn't know there was a plaster model of Jimi Hendrix's schlong? The somewhat NSFW trailer is after the jump.
