HOLLYWOOD'S HOTTEST: 4/27/08

Britney's behavior has cost her $61 million!

When Britney Spears’ father, Jamie, was named her co-conservator on February 1, he took over her financial affairs. But after going through her books, Jamie must have learned just how much of a toll Britney’s crazy behavior, which started in February 2007 when she shaved her head, has had on her bank account — she’s lost nearly $61 million. “It’s staggering how much money has been used up,” a family friend says.

In addition to the enormous tab for legal bills, rehab and psychiatric care, Britney’s inability to work has cost her a fortune. “By not touring for her last album [Blackout], she lost out on $50 million,” estimates Robert Bianchi, an LA-based CPA who isn’t an accountant for Britney. Jamie hired his own accountants to sort out the money mess and bring an end to the 26-year-old’s excessive spending. “It’s been quite a challenge getting things under control,” the insider says. Luckily, as Britney’s mental health improves, so does her bottom line. “She’s spending about a fifth of what she used to,” the insider adds.

Britney Spears: Home For Jamie Lynn’s Baby Shower?

Posted on May 3rd, 2008 10:50 am

Who says you can’t go home again?

NOTE: No one we know actually says that.

The adage certainly doesn’t apply to Britney Spears, who left California Friday and returned to her native Kentwood, La., marking her first trip back since before hospitalizations, custody battles and crazy no-pants-clubbing galore.

Also in town is Britney Spears‘ father, Jamie Spears, who remains in legal control of her personal, financial and medical affairs at least until a July 31 court hearing.

The troubled singer’s arrival in her home state comes as inside sources say there is a planned baby shower over the weekend for her 17-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears, who announced her pregnancy back in December.

Pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears and her 19-year-old baby-daddy / fiance, Casey Aldridge, announced their engagement in March. Congrats, kids!

Britney Spears, 26, last visited Kentwood in early 2007 for her aunt’s funeral. Accompanying her at the time was boyfriend Isaac Cohen.

The High School Musical 3 Press Conference

Posted on May 3rd, 2008 9:42 am

As we stated with the movie poster for High School Musical 3: Senior Year, this production is becoming more and more real by the day.

Now, the main players in the upcoming movie have gathered for a press conference to discuss the production. The event took place at East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah on Friday. And you can check it out NOW.

Ashley Tisdale, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens smile for reporters during a new conference for High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

Note how a reporter slyly asks Vanessa Hudgens about the semi-nude Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photos. Her response, said with a smile?

“You know, we’re here to talk about the movie.”

Tom Cruise Acts Less Crazy on Oprah Winfrey Show

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 3:33 pm

On the first part of an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired today (the second part airs Monday, check local listings!), Tom Cruise let us down.

The occasionally deranged husband of Kate Holmes and probable father of Suri Cruise simply sat on a couch. He didn’t jump on it once.

Here’s what Cruise had to say on a number of topics:

On his feelings for Holmes: “I can’t even articulate it, to be honest. That feeling, that connection. Just who she is and what she means to me.”

On waiting three months to publish Suri’s photo in Vanity Fair in 2006: “Kate and I didn’t feel any need to [rush] it. We said, ‘Why? It’s our family.’ We just were on Suri time.”

Kim Kardashian Kuddles Koala

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 11:22 am

With a satisfied, relaxed smile across her lips, typically only seen post-coitus by Reggie Bush (or, you know, anyone that watched the Ray J sex tape), Kim Kardashian rubs her cheek against the backside of a koala bear.

We can’t blame this little guy for having such a petrified look on his face. You better take a long bath after this encounter, buddy.

In this picture - courtesy of INF Daily - Kim Kardashian rubs up against a koala bear. Her k-loving family, comprised of Kris, Khloe and Kourtney, must have been psyched.

Tusher Won’t Pimp Out Baby, Pics

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 11:09 am

While Usher fans continue to hate on Tameka Foster, this couple continues to impress us with its normalcy.

In a recent interview with Page Six, the music icon said he’d never consider selling off photos of his new baby, a lesson other celebrities should heed (are you listening, Jennifer Lopez?)

“In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money. I am livid that people talk about my child,” Usher said.

Usher also defended his wife against the rumors that she doesn’t get along with, well, everyone.

“I stand by her as a man loving my wife and being there for my child… Opinions are like assholes. Everybody’s got one. What I will say is, this is my wife and I would hope that [people] would respect my wife and my marriage and who I have chosen to spend my life with.”

An Innocent Miley Cyrus Photo

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 10:48 am

What racy Miley Cyrus pictures?!?

The Disney actress is doing all she can to shed her controversial image, following a topless Vanity Fair picture that has received more commentary than the current housing market crisis.

And what better way to prove you’re simply an innocent young singer than by posing with one of America’s most beloved characters, Minnie Mouse? Well played, Miley.

Like fellow Disney star Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus is seen here alongside one of our favorite mouses, Minnie.

Barack Obama Vows to End War… Between Heidi and Lauren

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 8:41 am

Barack Obama has proven time and again that he’s the right man to lead America.

Unlike other politicians that see every issue in black and white, Obama has the insight to truly analyze an issue, to use proper judgment before making a decision, to avoid pandering to audiences in favor of actually having a discussion with them.

He proved as much during his ground-breaking speech on race relations a few weeks ago, and he did so again with an appearance in The Late Show with David Letterman this week.

“My first act as President will be to stop the fighting between Lauren and Heidi on The Hills,” the presidential hopeful read as part of his Top Ten “Surprising Facts” about himself last night.

Sounding reasonable and thoughtful as always, Barack Obama did not choose sides in the Heidi Montag/Lauren Conrad feud. But he did vow to end this war.

Among other surprising facts Obama revealed about himself were:

“Number 5: I have canceled all my appearances the day the Sex and the City movie opens.”
“Number 2: This has nothing to do with the Top Ten, but what the heck is up with Paula Abdul?”

Happy Birthday, Brooke Hogan!

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 8:18 am

Brooke Hogan turns 20 years old today.

We didn’t realize the daughter of former WWE star Hulk Hogan was so young. But now her ridiculous wardrobe choices at least make sense. Kids have difficulty dressing themselves.

In honor of Brooke’s birthday, let’s relive some of her more memorable fashion choices. Click on the photos below to view them in larger, even more disastrous glory….

Inside American Idol: David Archuleta’s Relief, Dedication

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 7:26 am

David Archuleta has never been in the bottom three on an elimination night. And we’d be willing to wager that he never will be.

But, according to People Magazine, the young, popular crooner was shocked when he was sent to the safe sofa this week.

As David walked over to join Jason Castro, also safe, on the couch, he mouthed “wow, wow, wow” to himself, maintaining a look of shock into the break. We don’t know why. Of course he was safe, and he’ll continue to be until the finals (where we hope he loses out to David Cook).

Also, according to a family friend, Tuesday night’s song choice of Neil Diamond’s “America” was chosen by Archuleta in dedication to his mom, Lupe, who originally came to the U.S. from Honduras.

Confirmed: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Get Married

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 6:47 am

The celebrity gossip world has been buzzing with rumors that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon went from engaged to married in a shorter period of time than it took Britney Spears to from hot to vomit-inducing.

According to family member Linda Cannon, the couple is, in fact, hitched.

“Yes, we know,” she told E! Online. “He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him. If that is what he wants then we are happy for him.”

We can only wonder if Cannon’s ex-girlfriends, Selita Ebanks and Kim Kardashian, feel the same way.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon got married before we could even give them a nickname. Mick? Nariah? What do you think?

Selena Gomez and Mickey Mouse: Good Friends

Posted on May 2nd, 2008 6:16 am

Selena Gomez - star of the Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place and billed as the next Miley Cyrus - hangs out with a close pal in this photo.

Yes, it’s Mickey Mouse!

Selena Gomez is viewed by many as the heir the Miley Cyrus’ teen idol throne.

Gomez is at Walt Disney World this week to take part in the Disney Channel Games, a made-for-TV, Olympic-style competition that will air this summer on the Disney Channel.

Selena is on The Comets team, joining up with Jonas Brothers’ Kevin Jonas, Cheetah Girls’ Sabrina Bryan and That’s So Raven’s Kyle Massey among others.

High School Musical 3: The Movie Poster

Posted on May 1st, 2008 4:24 pm

Just in case you thought that High School Musical 3: Senior Year was just one big tease, think again.

The Disney franchise really is coming to the big screen. Here’s proof. It’s the movie poster for the most anticipated film in (teenage) human history:

As you can see, all the players are here: Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron, Monique Coleman, Corbin Bleu, Lucas Grabeel and Ashley Tisdale are all pictured.

Which is your favorite?

Quasi Celebrity Quotes: Laura Boyce vs. Sheryl Lowe

Posted on May 1st, 2008 4:07 pm

During an emotional press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, Laura Boyce - the woman accusing Rob Lowe’s wife, Sheryl of, well, many things - broke down in tears.

“I feel betrayed and hurt and extremely upset that (the Lowes) would sue me after I endured what I did in their household,” Boyce said. “I never did anything to them other than give them my best efforts for their children.”

That’s not how Sheryl Lowe sees the situation, though:

“The charges against me are lies meant to embarrass and humiliate. I find it deeply offensive the false allegation that I would use racially insensitive comments. I’m certain that my dearest and longtime friend, and godfather to my children, Marcus Allen, would beg to differ with their charges.

We do not see color in my household; my children do not see color. It deeply saddens me that I even have to explain this to my children.”

Fashion Face-Off: Vanessa Hudgens vs. Julianne Hough

Posted on May 1st, 2008 12:49 pm

Some celebrity fashion face-offs are no brainers. Denise Richards vs. Leighton Meester? Come on. Why even show up, Denise?

But the following battle of young beauties should be one of the most tightly contested in the history of this Hollywood Gossip feature.

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is wearing the same dress below as Dancing with the Stars professional Julianne Hough, albeit it in a different color. Who do you think looks better in it?

As everyone knows by now, Vanessa Hudgens also posed naked awhile back. We’re anxious to compare her photos with those of Julianne Hough nude. (Hint, hint, Julianne. Get to posing!)

Ryan Seacrest Defends Paula Abdul

Posted on May 1st, 2008 12:27 pm

It was an emotional hour of American Idol last night.

Even before Brooke White broke down in tears following her elimination, Ryan Seacrest had come to the defense of Paula Abdul.

Responding to celebrity gossip sites that dared to claim Abdul was drunk during her Tuesday night blunder - when she critiqued a Jason Castro song that hadn’t been performed yet - Seacrest said:

“Last night the judges were thrown a curve ball on the air, which is just part of a live show… But it sparked a lot of gossip about Paula. And I read some of this online this morning and just for the record, the rumors — they’re not true. She’s part of our family and we love her.”

Abdul truly looked touched as the audience cheered, while both Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell gave her a kiss on the cheek.

This caused Ryan to joke: “I think Simon still wants to hook up with her.”

Strike 3! Roger Clemens’ Affair with Paulette Dean Daly

Posted on May 1st, 2008 7:49 am

Former baseball star Roger Clemens is piling up humiliating extramarital affairs, as revealed in New York newspapers, like he used to with strikeouts!

Swinging, looking, the point remains the same: these women are going down (on Roger)! The only chick this guy strikes out with is wife Debbie!

Sorry about the bad baseball jokes. On to the story.

Having already been outed as having had long-term affairs with both Mindy McCready and Angela Moyer, Clemens had a relationship with Paulette Dean Daly, a former wife of golfer John Daly, the Daily News says.

Clemens, a married father of four, arranged trips to Anaheim Stadium for Paulette Dean Daly to watch him pitch for the Yankees against the Angels.

Sources also said he spent time with her in Palm Springs, California.

Paulette Dean Daly (pictured, right, with ex-husband John Daly) met Roger Clemens at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, a Palm Springs golf tournament she’s been involved with for years. Guess we know why he waits until May to un-retire each season.

“Yeah, I’ve known Roger quite a while and we are friends,” Daly said.

She declined to elaborate on the specific nature of her relationship with the Cy Young winner, but did not deny the allegations from several sources that it was romantic and included financial support.

Asked if she was romantically involved with Roger Clemens, Daly said:

“You know what, I’m really uncomfortable talking about this. I’m just going to have to say, ‘No comment.’ I know Roger. I consider him a good friend.”

“That’s all I’m comfortable saying.”

Moyer did not comment on her alleged affair with Clemens, while Mindy McCready said she “could not refute” a single detail of this week’s reports.

Spotted Again: Lauren Conrad & Doug Reinhardt!

Posted on May 1st, 2008 7:35 am

Sorry, Stephen Colletti!

In spite of her high-school crush’s return on The Hills, Lauren Conrad has a new beau - Doug Reinhardt, 22, a minor leaguer for the Baltimore Orioles.

Not sure why Doug Reinhardt, who’s hitting just .201 career in the minors, doesn’t have baseball to play on May 1 - maybe he’s injured? - but as long as LC likes him, and he’s not a complete jackass, we’ll give him a shot.

He’s gotta be better than Josh McRoberts, right? Right. The new twosome took their romance public Wednesday, dining al fresco in Los Angeles. There may or may not have been 10 Hills cameras around them …

What do you think: Do Doug Reinhardt and Lauren Conrad make a cute pair?

Spencer Pratt Denies Jason Wahler Sex Tape Denial

Posted on May 1st, 2008 7:27 am

Spencer Pratt is sticking to his story that the Jason Wahler-Lauren Conrad sex tape existed, even if it doesn’t exist right now.

LC’s ex, Jason Wahler said yesterday in a statement:

“I do not have a sex tape of Lauren Conrad and one does not exist. Spencer Pratt is lying again to get attention. Lauren Conrad is a close friend of mine and it is insulting to her to suggest this.”

But Spencer Pratt, who said on the Tyra Banks Show late last week that he’s 100 - nay, 1,000 - percent sure the tape existed, countered:

“Jason’s statement couldn’t be more transparent. Notice how he uses present tense, ‘I DO not have a sex tape… one DOES not exist.’”

“We all know that it existed, that he tried to sell it and is now covering up to make himself look better,” the smarmy Hills villain said.

Tell us, which of these jackasses from The Hills do you believe regarding the Lauren Conrad sex tape: Spencer Pratt or Jason Wahler?

Jessica Simpson: I Love Tony Romo

Posted on May 1st, 2008 7:20 am

In the June issue of Glamour, Jessica Simpson says she is “in love” with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, whom she says helped her gain more confidence.

She says she even wrote him a song, “Back in My Old Boots.”

“He reintroduced me to myself,” she says. “I thought that I had to be deeper, more profound and more artsy. You change with the guys you date.”

“[Tony Romo] taught me that because he loves me [as me]. He made me feel comfortable [being myself] again,” she adds.

Jessica Simpson dismisses critics who claimed she jinxed his career by showing up at one of his football games that he lost last year.

“Everybody takes everything out on me! But that was ludicrous,” she says. “I don’t understand why they think that I would be a distraction to Tony. Do they really think he can see way far up in that box? No.”

Jessica Simpson says that Tony Romo first caught her eye while she was going through her messy divorce with Nick Lachey.

“My family and I were watching a Cowboys game … and — Tony would die if I told you this — but [on TV there was a story] about him,” she says. “They said his celebrity crush was Jessica Simpson.”

“My family was like, ‘Did you just hear that?’” she goes on. “His picture came up, and I’m like, ‘He’s really cute.’ Then I heard [that I was his crush], and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh!’”

They met a year-and-a-half later after a pal introduced Tony Romo to her pimp dad, Joe Simpson.

Miley Cyrus to Perform at Disney Channel Games

Posted on April 30th, 2008 4:05 pm

Finally, a Miley Cyrus that won’t have Bill O’Reilly calling for the Apocalypse and Tyra Banks stating her unsolicited, useless opinion.

The Vanity Fair cover star will still be center stage Saturday at the 2008 Disney Channel Games.

“The audience is going to let this one go,” says Jerry Del Colliano, a music industry professor at the University of Southern California. “The parents are going to forgive and the kids are going to love her just as much.”

Laura Boyce Files New Lawsuit Against Rob Lowe

Posted on April 30th, 2008 9:32 pm

Move over, Jessica Gibson. Another former nanny of Rob Lowe wants to sue the actor.

Laura Boyce is accusing the actor and his wife of sexual harassment, according to the woman’s lawyer (who also represents Gibson), Gloria Allred

“The details of the lawsuit will speak for itself,” Allred told People.

We’ll have more on the latest lawsuit filed against Rob Lowe - this one by Laura Boyce - when the information is released.

TMZ is now reporting that the bulk of the suit is filed against Rob’s wife, Sheryl. Among the accusations by Boyce:

Walking around naked, completely exposing herself to Boyce.
Asking Boyce about the size of Boyce’s boyfriend’s penis
Once saying “laughingly that her husband’s (Rob) cockrings were broken,” allegedly showing them to Boyce.
Telling Boyce about her sex life with Rob.
Talking about the size of her children’s penises.

Jeez. And we thought Lindsay Lohan was dirty.

Happy Birthday, Ashley Alexandra Dupre!

Posted on April 30th, 2008 11:04 am

The Hollywood Gossip’s favorite teenage runaway, aspiring singer and elite New York City prostitute, Ashley Alexandra Dupre, turns 23 today. Yay!

Just a few months ago, no one knew who Ashley Dupre was. She went by all sorts of other names - Ashley Youmans, Ashley DiPietro, Kristen, etc.

Then disgraced Gov. Eliot Spitzer was snared plunking down thousands of dollars an hour for the honor of doing her and everything changed.

Ashley Dupre was featured in the New York Times, becoming a household name overnight and selling over $200,000 in crappy online music downloads.

You gotta love America.

It was later discovered that Dupre got all topless and naked for Joe Francis & Co. while vacationing in Florida (and lying about her age) in 2003.

She and the Girls Gone Wild founder are now trading barbs and lawsuits regarding his use of Ashley Dupre nude / topless footage.

How will it end? Nobody knows. But we’re hopeful that Ashley finds a good career path now that her days of slinging poon are over… we think.

When does your favorite hooker star celebrate the day of his or her birth? Take a look at our fun celebrity birthdays calendar and find out now!

Report: Paula Abdul Drunk on American Idol

Posted on April 30th, 2008 10:57 am

For once, Paula Abdul may wanna own up to being plastered during American Idol.

The only other excuse the kooky judge could give for critiquing a performance that had yet to take place last night - seriously, take a look at the video now - would be that she’s a moron.

According to celebrity gossip source TMZ, Abdul was served at least one martini during lunch yesterday, Granted, that was hours before the show aired, but Paula isn’t the heaviest woman on the planet. We doubt her tolerance is very high.

Did Paula Abdul give away the fact that American Idol is scripted with remarks about a Jason Castro performance that hadn’t taken place?

Kate Hudson Considered Most Beautiful

Posted on April 30th, 2008 10:43 am

Megan Fox my be the sexiest person alive - as deemed by readers of FHM - but Kate Hudson is beautiful.

Actually, this actress is the MOST beautiful, according to People Magazine’s annual ranking of human beings on the planet.

Despite referring to herself as a “tomboy” growing up, Hudson accepted the honor, saying: “I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed.”

The Hills Girls Featured in Rolling Stone

Posted on April 30th, 2008 9:39 am

It’s a chilly spring night in Los Angeles.

The scene is Don Antonio’s Mexican restaurant. The subject is the End of Western Civilization - also known as Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

Watching the fair-haired lovers stroll through their beloved Don Antonio’s feels like seeing Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe walk into the Stork Club back in the day.

That is, if Joe and Marilyn were the irresistible villains on The Hills, a maddeningly addictive MTV show in which nothing ever really happens.

As they sit at a dimly lit corner booth, and you can almost hear the text messages being tapped at nearby tables — omfg spencer n heidi r here!!!

Spencer Pratt, 24, who’s wearing a black Don Antonio’s polo and a wispy blond goatee, rattles off a grande order without consulting the menu.

Heidi Montag, a 21-year-old mane of blond highlights dressed in a blue sweater and white sweatpants, tucks her tiny head into his shoulder.

“I wish I got to see what you saw today,” Spencer says.

He’s referring to the Rolling Stone cover photo shoot attended by Heidi and her three castmates on The Hills: Audrina Patridge, 22, Whitney Port, 23, and the show’s star and protagonist, the lovely Lauren Conrad, 22.

Heidi Montag has been engaged in an ugly feud with Lauren Conrad (which started when she began dating Pratt but escalated over sex tape rumors).

Maybe you’ve heard about this ongoing charade at some point.

In any case, this Rolling Stone cover shoot was the first time Heidi and Lauren had been photographed, not merely Photoshopped (as MTV has been forced to do), together in more than a year. Like, OMG, 4 real.
