- Amy Winehouse and Blake Formerly Incarcerated: Dunzo. He's left her for a German model; she's admitted that it was never going to last and that they were "only together for sex." Keep in mind that this report comes from a terribly disreputable paper. [News Of The World, Page Six]
- By the by, Blake Fielder-Civil's jail sentence appeal was refused by two judges. [The Sun]
- "Impeccable" sources say Guy Ritchie is banking $70 million of Madonna's money as part of the divorce settlement. That kind of cash will buy a lot of rounds at the pub! [Perez Hilton]

- Photographs of Angelina Jolie's (now) unborn babies could be worth a whopping $10 million. An editor who remains anonymous actually says: "It's at the point now where some stars might decide to have more kids just to collect the money from their photos." Hahahahahaha. No. [Page Six]

- Russell Simmons and wife Kimora have filed for divorce — again. He filed in March 2006, but the proceedings never um, proceeded. In any case, since they have such intertwined careers and businesses, this should be interesting. [TMZ]
- They secretly went out two years ago, and now Matthew Perry has rekindled his relationship with Mean Girls actress Lizzy Caplan (she played Janis Ian). She's 13 years younger than he is and it's a "friends with benefits" type thing. [Janet Charlton's Hollywood]

- Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were seen partying Grammy weekend, so some random source says, "It's almost as if they aren't parents." Kind of a cheap shot. But yeah, the nanny is apparently working overtime. Mom and dad need to party! [Page Six]
- Guess who was on the set when Lindsay Lohan posed nude for Bert Stern's Marilyn Monroe-inspired New York magazine shoot? Not momager Dina, but 14-year-old little sis, Ali. Picking up tips on how to behave? [Rush & Molloy]
- Dad Jamie tells Britney's new bodyguards not to let her go to a bar or bathroom alone. Also, when she left a restaurant Saturday, she took a cup of coffee with her. [Page Six]

the good, the bad, & the ugly
Happy Australia Week! Last night saw a kickoff dinner In Hollywood which brought out the stars — and to our great relief, brought them out in living color. (Check out one of our favorite Aussies in attendance last night, Olivia Newton-John, at left.) Just when we were ready to throw in our hats and give in to a season of boring ol' black cocktail dresses, we see women clad in red, blue, red, red, purple, silver...and did we mention red? Who knew that a love of Australia could bring out the kind of Technicolor sensibilities seen in such women as Calista Flockhart and Kylie Minogue? The good, the bad, and the ugly of how to wear red (and some other colors) after the jump.

critical mass
Take that, Gawker Media video lads! The rest of the world (well, except for that grumpy Clive Barnes at the
NY Post)
agrees with us:
Xanadu: The Musical is a hit on wheels. What the critics had to say, after the jump.

sneak peek
This morning the peeps over at Gawker HQ alerted us to a video segment that aired on
ABC News on the latest movie-cum-musical to hit Broadway,
Xanadu, thinking it would be something we'd want to mock. Clearly, they don't know fuck-all about us, because if there's one thing we love as much as the cult 80's film (Anna's dad took her to see it, uh,
four times) featuring Olivia Newton-John, an amazing E.L.O. score, and roller-skating is a
Broadway musical version of said movie, involving an actress actively doing an Olivia Newton-John impression (yes!) , that amazing E.L.O. score, and roller-skating. In fact, we were lucky enough to catch a preview of the show this weekend (it opens officially tonight) and we've been glowing ever since. After the jump, a completely and totally-biased rave review.

Behold: An image from Heidi Montag's video for her nauseating single, "Overdosin'." Olivia Newton-John-insipired? American Apparel-inspired? Designed to make you curse the very day this woman was born? Quoth a commenter on E! online called Shady, "Make her go away! I'll pay higher taxes!!" [E!]
