Sylvester Stallone is still trying to clear some things with Australia's customs after 48 vials of prohibited human growth hormone were found in his luggage. Lawyers and doctors are on call while he returns to Thailand to shoot Rambo. Again.
Anyone that's met Snoop Dogg personally has always said that the rapper was both polite and wily, exhibiting an unexpected humor, but it looks like the occupation may just make the man.
Snoop was arrested recently after taping The Tonight Show, one of several arrests this year. It won't surprise anyone that drugs and guns were found at the time of the arrest.
We keep hearing (and seeing!) about Paris Hilton's smoking habits, such as the time last year when... Paris got into hot water at Koi when a friend at her table lit up a funny smelling cigarette and started puffing. The restaurant manager caught wind of it and made a HUGE scene, screaming at Paris "What kind of people are these? Smoking that is AGAINST THE LAW!" (All heads turned to watch the tongue lashing.) He was particularly outraged because he's friendly with Paris. The guy kicked everyone at the table OUT and pulled Paris aside for a stern lecture. After he yelled at her, naughty Paris apologized and he allowed her to stay - she sat down with some better behaved friends.
In this 1997 Whodunit, everyone was surprised when these two macho guys were cast in the same action movie. Setsiders expected them to be highly competitive and not at all friendly. Surprise! They got along like a house a fire - partly because they share the same taste in drugs - the stronger the better. Many nights were spent combining crack and prescription drugs washed down with plenty of liquor, but they somehow managed to finish the movie without incident. Now the two guys are carousing night after night in after hours clubs in Hollywood and everyone assumes they're chasing women. But guess again! Some not-so-happy friends are saying the guys are involved with EACH OTHER and it won't be long before their women find out!
In 1998, the gorgeous Anna Nicole was provocatively seated in the lobby drinking glass after glass of champagne when she started "harrassing" a Middle Eastern man. According to a witness, she loudly taunted him with lewd remarks - the least of which was "C'mere baby and gimme some lovin'."
Other hotel guests complained about her behavior and the bartender cut her off. THAT made her furious and she stormed out to get her car. The valet offered her a limo and suggested she shouldn't drive. Irate Anna threw a tantrum and the bellman rushed over to calm her. She punched him in the nose. Hotel security had to wrestle her face first into the mud to get her under control until cops came, cuffed her, and took her away!
The headlines today may feature Paris Hilton's DUI, but in April of this year here's what we were saying:
Paris Hilton is spinning out of control: She's recklessly throwing herself at men and smooching guys in public. She was once a polite well mannered girl but now she's arrogant, loud, and demanding. She's always reminding people "Do you know who I AM?" when she butts to the front of bathroom lines. She's greedier than ever about freebies. Promoters wince when they see her coming. She dumped the once beloved Tinkerbell with her parents. He was cast off like last week's handbag. She's got plenty of money but can't get her boyfriend Niarchos to marry her - or anyone else so far. She showed up at Hef's recent birthday party in an absurd tastelessly skimpy outfit and onlookers whispered that her body looked bad- out of shape, bumpy, in need of the gym. She's partying more than ever till all hours. Is she headed for rehab?
2004: Boy George isn't the first celebrity to clean the streets - Just a few years ago, Diana Ross along with another woman, both clad in orange vests and work clothes, were seen picking up trash in front of the Pavilions market in West Hollywood! The pair had a large trash can on wheels that they were pulling - it contained a broom, rake and poker to pick up papers. Community service Diana wore painter style jeans and a baseball cap with her massive hair tucked into a bandanna under the cap and big sunglasses. The women were chatting and Diana was mostly pointing out trash for the other girl to pick up. (Typical!) Eventually store employees - it's a gay neighborhood -noticed her and came outside to stare, to Diana's embarrassment.
Hollywood Whodunit -2003: This once promising sexy TV star was on a top show but his ego got the best of him. He left the series, expecting to become a movie star. It didn't happen and he forever regretted giving up the financial security of his big money series. He started using prescription painkillers and booze to ease the pain. Now the guy's so broke he moves from one rented house to another and stiffs the landlords. Friends try to be supportive but at his last birthday party he slept through the whole celebration.
While TMZ is reporting on Mel Gibson's drunk and hateful interaction with the police, another story comes back to us. In 2000, Mel was dining on steamed clams with a few buddies at The Old Place in Malibu and he just couldn't wait for the bartender to get around to refilling his glass. Much to the amusement of other diners, Mel agilely leaped over the bar and refilled his own beverage. But he's not all bad. He tipped the server a hundred bucks.
We've heard a lot of rumors about the exclusive (and expensive!) cross country road race,Bullrun. It sounds as though all manner of speeding (Christain Hayden), drinking, and hard partying kept event organizers busy.
1998... Jack Nicholson walked into an LA club, ordered a drink at the bar, and lit up a joint! Although he got a liquor store closed down the last time he flaunted the law, it seems no one stops Jack from doing what he wants - illegal or not. Jack openly smoked two joints before he left. He knows he can get away with it and he does.
