Robert Knox, Harry Potter Actor, Stabbed to Death

Posted on May 24th, 2008 9:20 pm

Sad news out of London tonight:

Robert Knox, a British teenage actor playing a minor role in the upcoming Harry Potter movie, was stabbed to death during a brawl.

The 18-year old was fatally wounded after he was involved in a fight outside a bar in southwest London early Saturday, London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement. Word leaking out is that he was defending his younger brother.

Robert Knox, right, was tragically killed in a knife fight. The actor has a small role in the next Harry Potter movie.

In the upcoming Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, set for a November release, Knox plays Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby.

Reportedly, he was one of five young men taken to various hospitals following the brawl, police said. Among them was a 21-year-old who has since been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Behind a Kim Kardashian Photo Shoot

Posted on May 24th, 2008 6:40 pm

As previously reported, Kim Kardashian posed for Ralph Magazine a couple months ago.

Despite the fact that we’ve all seen this reality TV star nude in Playboy, the publication thought shooting her in lingerie would be hot.

The pics aren’t terrible, but the behind-the-scenes footage is actually more interesting to us. With that in mind, here’s a look at just what goes on during a Kim Kardashian photo shoot:

For a change, someone else gives Kim Kardashian head… adjustments.

Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson: Spotted Smooching!

Posted on May 24th, 2008 6:16 pm

What kissing couple could knock Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson off the front page of celebrity gossip tabloids?

Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson, who were spotted making out and dancing at the Dolce & Gabbana party at the Baoli Club in Cannes on Friday.

“They were just really into each other,” a witness told Us Weekly. “They would look at each other in the eyes and then kiss on the lips.”

Hudson and Armstrong were first spotted together publicly May 15 at New York City’s Wildwood Barbeque following a Kid Rock concert.

“They seemed like they were having a great time,” said a source.

So, what do you think of this new couple? Is there a better nickname for them than Hudstrong?

KayCee Stroh and Ben Higginson: Engaged!

Posted on May 24th, 2008 6:11 pm

Hey, Zanessa, no pressure - but a costar of yours is now engaged.

KayCee Stroh, who plays High School Musical character Martha Cox, got engaged to boyfriend Ben Higginson early this morning.

“We shot from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m., and Ben was waiting for me in my trailer,” Stroh told People. “He was waiting for me with a single red rose. Then he took me up to the H Rock, a place at the top of a little mountain that overlooks Salt Lake City, and we watched the sunrise. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.”

Stroh said she’s now wearing “the most amazing ring,” which she’ll soon be showing off during filming of High School Musical 3. None of her costars know about the news yet.

“They are going to be so surprised,” Stroh said. “They all love Ben. He’s like one of the gang.”

Breaking News: Kim Kardashian Has Junk in Trunk

Posted on May 23rd, 2008 11:30 am

This just in: Kim Kardashian has a large ass.

While this may not be startling news to celebrity gossip followers, apparently it took Kim’s mom many episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to discover the size of her daughter’s back side.

Watch the clip below to see what we mean:

Matt Grant Stands By Shayne Lamas

Posted on May 23rd, 2008 3:05 pm

He gave her the rose and an engagement ring.

She reacted like she sat on his face. Then she surprised him with a very classy photo spread in Girls Gone Wild magazine.

But The Bachelor star, Matt Grant, says he has no problem with fame-whore fiancée Shayne Lamas’ revealing pictures in Joe Francis’ rag.

“As we English say, I really feel it was ‘a storm in a teacup,’” Grant said. “I believe it was blown out of proportion. I stand by Shayne 110 percent.”

There was a flurry of media appearances after Grant got down on one knee to propose to Lamas on the finale of The Bachelor, but crickets after the Girls Gone Wild photos hit the web the very next Tuesday.

The pictures in the issue out June 3 do not show Shayne Lamas naked, but in this shot, she’s wearing little more than a smile and a wedding veil.

Matt Grant says the couple are also brushing off media speculation that they’re already having problems in their relationship.

“We sit down together and just laugh off all the ridiculous stories that get thrown our way,” Grant says.

“All things considered we are doing really well.”

The two are living in Shayne Lamas’ Studio City condo at the moment, where Matt Grant says they are working out their new life.

“We have the normal pressures of any couple,” he said. “But then, we have even more added pressures being that we are a reality TV couple, and that I’m leaving my life, friends and family in England to be with her.”

We give it six months. Tops.

Tracey Edmonds is Doing Diddy

Posted on May 23rd, 2008 2:34 pm

Like a true attention whore using relationships for fame and money, Tracey Edmonds didn’t need long to move on from ex-husband Eddie Murphy.

Less than six months after breaking up with the actor, the former Mrs. Babyface is dating Diddy. And just listen to how much she loves him already!

“Diddy is the funniest man I’ve ever met,” Edmonds told The Daily Mirror. “I’m so talented at latching on to men with fame and fortune lucky to find someone so soon after Eddie.”

So, will Diddy become the third Mrs. Tracey Edmonds?

“We’ve only been on three or four dates, but he’s whisked me off my feet,” Edmonds said. “I don’t know about wedding bells but he’s definitely the man for me.”

Definitely. Without a doubt. Until these two break up and Tracey dates Ray J, that is.

** Update: A rep for Diddy has now said:

“Sean is very single. He and Tracy have known each other for over 10 years.”

Celebrity Fashion Face-Off: Audrina vs. Mischa

Posted on May 23rd, 2008 1:20 pm

Oh, and that’s Nicole Schzeringer thrown in there between them. Sorry we left her out of the headline… it was too damn hard to spell her name.

From left to right, three B-list stars sparkling in Alexander Wang’s embroidered metallic minidress. You tell us which one of them wore it best …

From left, The Hills‘ Audrina Patridge partying in Toronto, the Pussycat Doll visiting MTV’s TRL in NYC, and the anorexic, waifish, ghost-like girlfriend of Taylor Locke hitting a stylish NYC soiree. Who looks best in this?

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson: Kissing in Cannes

Posted on May 23rd, 2008 9:27 am

Because we enjoy testing the celebrity gossip knowledge of our readers, we were gonna make this into a pop quiz, asking:

Which drug-addicted, promiscuous red head was caught making out with her rumored lesbian lover of a DJ in Cannes last night?

But then we realized the answer might be too obvious. Therefore, we’ll simply report the story that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were spotted locking lips during a party aboard Diddy’s yacht last night.

The Daily Mail has posted photos of the supposed couple, locked in a loving embrace:

We can’t say for sure what happened after this moment between Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, but the Firecrotch Queen looks rather excited to be leading Ronson away from the party afterwards, doesn’t she?

Wonder where they are going…

Tom Cruise Sues Baby Store Over Celeb Gossip

Posted on May 23rd, 2008 8:23 am

Instead of You Don’t Mess With the Zohan, somebody should make a movie called You Don’t Mess With Tom Cruise’s Legal Team.

Cruise - the man who brought down David Hans Schmidt, and who will take on just about anyone who defames him - is not happy with baby boutique Petit Tresor for allegedly talking to celeb gossip rags about his spending.

Tom had his lawyers send a cease and desist letter to the store.

The letter accuses the boutique of telling celeb news that TomKat spent a staggering $350,000 on Suri Cruise’s wardrobe over the last two years.

Lawyers for Cruise say the information is not only wrong, but it violates their clients’ confidentiality. Do not f*%k with this man!!

Cruise also says that the store had better keep their mouths shut about TomKat’s shopping habits from this point on.

If the store doesn’t comply, THEY WILL ALL DIE.

Okay, we invented that last part. But you bought it, didn’t you?

We actually wouldn’t be surprised to hear that TomKat drops six figures on baby clothes. They do, after all, have more money than God.

On a side note, what the eff is going on with Katie Holmes’ hair. We’ve seen some crappy celebrity hairstyles in our day, but she may win.

Amy Winehouse is rocking the signature beehive here - but notice something different? Her hair is giving a shout-out to Blake Fielder-Civil!

Gotta give her credit for sticking by that junkie. Or something.

What do you think of the troubled singer’s latest outpouring of support to her incarcerated husband of just over one year?

Amy Winehouse hearts Blake Fielder Civil. And heroin.

As David Cook continues to receive congratulations for winning season seven of American Idol, we’ve included a number of photos from last night’s exciting finale.

Here’s a shot of Cook, for example, not wearing any pants. Seriously. It was part of a commercial he and David Archuleta shot for Guitar Hero, one that paid homage to the Tom Cruise movie Risky Business:

Meanwhile, here are a series of other pictures. Sorry, readers, but Carrie Underwood and company are all wearing pants below.

Posted on May 22nd, 2008 3:52 pm

Some sad news on the heels of an exciting American Idol finale:

Season seven finalist Luke Menard has been diagnosed with cancer.

According to a relative, a biopsy showed a mass to be a symptom of Stage Two Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system.

Menard is currently back in his hometown of Crawfordsville, Indiana with his wife Lara; he’s in treatment for the disease.

“He is surrounded by his family,” the relative said. “They want to help him beat this and move on.”

We wish Luke Menard a speedy recovery.

What’s more common than finding Paris Hilton nude photos on the cover of random magazines?

Shots of this talentless socialite decked out in clothing that pays homage to herself.

As you can see in the large photo below - and the subsequent smaller images - Paris Hilton is nothing if not a big fan of Paris Hilton.

Marie-Anne Thiébaud Denies Role in Shania Twain Divorce

Posted on May 22nd, 2008 1:33 pm

As Marie-Anne Thiébaud’s name has become synonymous with “dirty, lying adulterer,” the former secretary for Shania Twain and Mutt Lange has finally spoken out.

Thiébaud was contacted E! News at her home and told the celebrity gossip network:

“I know what you’re ringing to ask me about. But, when marriages break up they break up for all sorts of complicated reasons, it’s never just one reason. And those reasons should be kept private. If you’re looking for a person that broke up a marriage then you have the wrong person. I’m not that person.”

Thiébaud declined to comment any further on the rumors, asking that the press not “intrude into people’s private lives.”

Good luck getting that wish to come true, Marie-Anne Thiébaud.

Jenna Bush Attends Henry Hager’s Graduation

Posted on May 22nd, 2008 1:17 pm

While aspiring president John McCain talked gay marriage on TV with Ellen DeGeneres, the daughter of the current chief executive had her own plans.

Jenna and Henry Hager returned from their honeymoon in time to attend his graduation from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business.

The newlyweds - who got married in Crawford, Texas on May 10 - went with his parents, John and Maggie Hager, the Washington Post reports.

New Couple Alert: Aubrey O’Day and Jesse McCartney

Posted on May 22nd, 2008 11:58 am

Danity Kane hottie Aubrey O’Day is reportedly dating bad boy, Jesse McCartney. They were spotted at Marquee lounge in New York City on Wendesday night.

Why Mutt Lange is an Idiot

Posted on May 22nd, 2008 11:49 am

This just in: Mutt Lange is an idiot.

The 14-year husband of Shania Twain allegedly cheated on her with Marie-Anne Thiebaud. This is a despicable act to commit against anyone.

But when your wife looks like this? What are you thinking, Mutt?!?

Ellen DeGeneres and John McCain Don’t Have a Gay Ol’ Time

Posted on May 22nd, 2008 11:16 am

John McCain wants America to stay in Iraq eternity. But when it comes to homosexuals vowing to love each other for the same period of time?

Not so much.

“I just believe in the unique status of marriage between man and woman,” McCain told well-known gay talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on her program. “And I know that we have a respectful disagreement on that issue.”

DeGeneres, to her credit, took the senator to task for his views, declaring:

“We are all the same people, all of us. You’re no different than I am. Our love is the same.”

Ellen, of course, has announced that she and Portia de Rossi will be married later this year in California. McCain responded to that news - and the general news that the Golden State Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of gay marriage - as best he could:

“People should be able to enter into legal agreements, and I think that is something we should encourage, particularly in the case of insurance and other areas.”

DeGeneres said that arrangement “doesn’t feel inclusive… it feels… isolated.” It was a tense interview, one we admire Ellen for conducting and McCain for putting himself through.

Where do you stand on the issue of gay marriage?

Posted at May 22nd, 2008 10:43 am

The mystery guy spotted slinking around the Empire Hotel with the gorgeous Friday Night Lights actress Minka Kelly this week was … Derek Jeter?

While Kelly’s publicist has been quiet regarding the male suitor, rumors are flying that Kelly and Jeter dined at Kobe Club on Monday night.

Kristin Davis: Not a Fan of Cocktails

Posted on May 21st, 2008 3:32 pm

• The good news: Kristin Davis is clean and sober.
• The bad news (for her): The sordid Kristin Davis sex tape in which that ass clown Eric Stapelman was going to town on her didn’t involve any booze.

“I’m a recovering alcoholic,” the actress, 43, tells Health. “I’ve been sober the whole time I’ve been famous, so it wasn’t like I had to go to rehab publicly.”

“It’s caused a lot of confusion out in the world. I get sent many a Cosmo! I never drink them. I believe [alcoholism] is a disease. I don’t think you can mess with it.”

The Sex and the City: The Movie star says people used to say to her “‘Couldn’t you just have one glass of champagne?’ And I would say, ‘No,’ I’m doing well. I still have occasional bad days. Why risk it?”

Unlike her family-oriented Sex and the City character, Charlotte York, Davis says her No. 1 goal in life isn’t to wed and have kids.

“I can relate to feeling the pressure society puts on a person. My family has never been focused on that for me. I’d love to have children, though. I’d also love to adopt a child — I think about it a lot,” Davis says.

Davis — who works with Oxfam International to fight poverty — even cites Angelina Jolie as an inspiration.

“I’ve met Angelina. I don’t know her well, but what she’s done is fantastic,” she says. “I admire anyone who adopts children.”

Ne-Yo, Crystle Stewart to Guest Star on Soap Operas

Posted on May 21st, 2008 11:18 am

Someone as famous - and insane - as Britney Spears can land a guest starring role on a hit sitcom such as How I Met Your Mother.

Other celebrities, however, have to start smaller. Or at least earlier in the day.

Hip hop sensation Ne-Yo, for example, will be appearing on All My Children on May 21 and May 22, performing a couple hits from his latest album on the soap opera. Here’s a look at him on set:

Follow the jump on this article, meanwhile, to read about another rising star that will be appearing on a daytime drama…

Recently crowned Miss USA, Crystale Stewart, has landed a role on Days of Our Lives. Look for the beauty to appear on the NBC soap opera as an Alpha Chi Theta sorority advisor. Interesting.

The Latest Amy Winehouse News & Gossip

Posted on May 21st, 2008 11:08 am

Adding yet another item to her long list of self-destructive and bizarre behavior, Amy Winehouse was spotted leaving her London home at 1:30 this morning with a bunch of fresh cuts on her arm. Standard, really.

The singing train wreck had a bag packed and apparently said she was going to a hotel (!?) as she made her way from her house to a waiting car.

In addition to the cuts on her arm, Amy Winehouse was also sporting sores on her hand and a blood stains on her vest, and smoking cigs.

In other Amy Winehouse news, she may have scored another chance to record the theme song for the upcoming James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.

She owes that second chance to the Pet Shop Boys. The old school British group reportedly reached out and invited Amy to record the new track with them after her producer, Mark Ronson, threw in the towel.

“She’s got a few things to sort out first but we like her very much,” said The Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant. “Technically, she’s a really great singer and we’ve got one or two tracks that would really suit her.”

Lastly, Amy celebrated her one-year anniversary with Blake Fielder-Civil earlier this week. He is currently rotting away in jail.

Lou Pearlman Goes Bye, Bye, Bye

Posted on May 21st, 2008 10:32 am

Lou Pearlman is the founder of The Backstreet Boys and ‘NSYNC.

However, instead of playing games with anyone’s heart, the tubby moron has been found guilty of playing games with money: he’s been sentenced to 25 years in jail for money laundering and conspiracy.

Pearlman pleaded guilty in March to a long, complicated con game that essentially pumped up his net worth, while cheating other people out of millions. The judge gave him the maximum sentence, pretty much saying:

When it comes to being a lying, cheating embezzler that deserves a lot of time behind bars… it’s gonna be YOU!

Justin-Bobby: A Class Act

Posted on May 21st, 2008 10:18 am

Call him what you want - Justin-Bobby, Justin Brescia, Audrina’s loser boyfriend, or just Douchebag - the man is a beacon of social tact.

Last night, the grimy Justin-Bobby Brescia and a smiling Audrina Patridge were spotted out in L.A. at the fifth anniversary party for Dolce.

In a gesture befitting of a low-life such as himself, J-Bobby strutted through a mass of photographers with middle finger on display.

We don’t think Audrina compares to LC in terms of natural beauty, but she’s pretty attractive. Surely any number of guys would love to date her - and a lot of them probably aren’t opposed to showering or using full sentences.

Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz: The Wedding Photo

Posted on May 21st, 2008 10:00 am

The weekend wedding of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz may have looked like the ultimate rocker event, but for the couple and their 150 guests, it felt more like a fairy tale. Check out the People magazine cover below …

As you can see, Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson were among the lucky guests. He just can’t quit grinding with that, no matter how hard he tries!

As for how Pete and Ashlee will remember the big day?

“She looked like a girl right out of a movie,” the groom, 28, says about his new media whore bride, 23, who was married in a nondenominational ceremony officiated by her pimp father, Crazy Joe Simpson.
