”Mischa Barton Fights The Battle Of The (Digitally Enhanced?) Bulge
- Mischa Barton claims she is a PhotoShop Of Horrors victim: A new batch of paparazzi beach shots showed her legs riddled with cellulite. "Those photos are doctored," Barton's rep, Lisa Perkins, says. "I'm not saying she's perfect, nobody is. But they've given a 22-year-old woman the legs and bottom of an 80-year-old." The pix were taken by the dude she's pissed at for snapping topless shots; the same one who ran Nicole Kidman off of the road. [Rush & Molloy]
- You can see the pictures here, with a regular paparazzi shot as well. Photoshop? [Daily Mail]
- Apparently Mariah Carey wanted a $3 million wedding with doves and orchids and Nick Cannon wanted to get married ASAP with no fuss. Mariah agreed because, as she has said, "We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me." Aww, that should be sweet but somehow it's fucking annoying. [Mirror]
- Lindsay Lohan: Seen doing shots of tequila with Lauren Conrad! LL turned her back so no one would see; unfortunately she was facing a window and the whole bar could see her reflection. Whoops! [Rush & Molloy]
- Meanwhile: You know how Lindsay had finally gotten a movie role? In that Manson Girls flick? Well she's been kicked off of the project. Producers "discovered that they couldn't find any name actresses who wanted to co-star with her," says Nikki Finke. [Deadline Hollywood via ONTD]
Ooh La La! Angelina & Brad En France
- Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and all of their kids have hit the French Riviera. They're staying in a villa owned by Microsoft's Paul Allen that has breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Shia LaBeouf Is A Wanted Man
- Authorities have beef with Shia: A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Mr. LaBeouf — he got a ticket in February for unlawful smoking and never showed up in court. Whoops! [TMZ]
- Those Kristin Davis photos? Real! Snapped in 1992 by an ex-boyfriend. [TMZ]
- Ethan Hawke: Not over Uma? He recently sang a song at the 24-Hour Plays event with lyrics like "My wife hates me," and "My wife is a big fat beast." WTF. [New York Magazine]
- Oh, no. A feud has broken out in Heath Ledger's family regarding his estate. Heath's uncles are not happy that Heath's father, Kim, is in charge of the money — since when Heath's grandfather died 15 years ago, Kim was removed as executor of the estate after mishandling and mismanaging the assets. Messy, and sad. [People]
- Does Amy Winehouse really have impetigo? It could also be MRSA! A doc who doesn't treat Amy says she "should not be coming into close contact with other people while she has open sores," blerg. [TMZ]

Marion Cotillard: 911 Is A Joke
- Oscar winner Marion Cotillard has conspiracy theories! She questions the attack on the World Trade Center towers: "We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes. There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there (in New York), in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed." Plus! She doubts Neil Armstrong! "Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered," she says. "I don't believe all they tell me, that's for sure." [Variety]
- Are Britney and Adnan Ghalin dunzo? Did she throw his iPhone into the pool after finding "saucy" texts from another woman? [The Sun]
- Jennifer Lopez has indeed, as previously reported, named her twins Max and Emme. A reader points out that those were the names of the kids in the cartoon Dragon Tales. WTF? [CNN, YouTube]
- Colin Farrell is hooked on Russian steam baths. "There's something very basic about rubbing honey on your skin and going steaming with a bunch of strange Russian men," he says. Well, it's healthier than drugs and alcohol, for sure. [UPI]
the good, the bad & the ugly
Stars Put Best Foot Forward At Costume Designers Guild Awards
Yesterday film and television actors alike turned out at the Costume Designers Guild 10th Annual Awards in Beverly Hills to pay homage to the people who sew their pockets shut: costume designers. And on the whole, the female stars in attendance looked good! While Gabrielle Anwar — don't pretend you don't remember Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken! — went for a look more heavy on the costume than the fine design, Jane Kaczmarek, January Jones, and Law and Order's very pregnant Elisabeth Rohm all looked smart and sleek. (J.Lo could really take a page from Rohm's book. Although that point is probably moot, if the gossip columns are to be believed.) And then there were the "What were they thinking?" women: Angelica Huston, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kristen Chenowith. The full Good, Bad, and Ugly, after the jump. More »

Yup, Eddie Murphy Is Single Again
- Two weeks after they exchanged vows at a "spiritual" ceremony in Bora Bora, Tracey Edmonds and Eddie Murphy have indeed split. The two will "remain friends" and since they never had a legal US wedding, Eddie — who acted like a bit of an asshole to Tracey — won't have to pay any alimony. [People]
- Cops were called to the home of Britney Spears last night, but not for the pop star! Several photographers were arrested for reckless driving. Seriously, it's all fun and games until someone gets nailed by an SUV. Or has a nervous breakdown. [Perez Hilton]
- According to a poll, 51% of people think that Britney should be able to see her kids a few times a week. Only 1% wanted Britney to get full custody. Was that 1% one person? And was that one person Britney? [Reuter]
- Kevin Federline's lawyer says Kevin knows how difficult the custody situation is on the kids — and their mother. "It's a sad situation. There's no victorious feeling." Isn't it amazing how he's become the one to sort of trust and admire? [People]

American Idol Delivers Crazies Other Than Paula Abdul
While the actual competition and voting aspect of American Idol isn't really our steez, we can't help but love the auditions in the beginning. It's so representative of the freak show that is the American Dream — the quest for (often) talentless fame. Case in point: Alexis Cohen. The Pennsylvania native, who likens her voice to Janis Joplin and Grace Slick (and whom Simon likens her look to Willem Dafoe), admits that she marches to a beat of a different drummer. First of all, her face is painted in so much glitter, that one could probably see the glare of the reflection from outer space, especially if you watched it in HDTV. That shit kind of looked amazing. Anyway, she's one of those delusional people that the producers of AI mock for our entertainment, and she made it easy for them when she bent over and spread her ass cheeks in defiance of Simon Cowell. Clip above.

More Proof That The Rich (And Royal) Shall Inherit The Earth
- George Soros and Queen Noor are friends with benefits. For the uninitiated, she's the widow of the late King Hussein of Jordan; he made billions in this huge mindfuck of a bet against the British pound in the '80s and now uses the money for good, sort of like Angelina Jolie, but, you know, with three more zeroes in his bank account.
