FLYING HIGH WITHOUT PHARMACEUTICALS



Courtney Love was happy and chatty at Madison on Robertson Blvd Saturday – when I ran into her she was trying on some peep toe pumps. “You like these?” She told me she’s been sober a year and is in talks with producers for an upcoming movie. Best of all, she’s seeing her ex, Edward Norton, again. (Remember they costarred in “The People vs. Larry Flynt ” and dated for a few tumultuous years in the mid 90’s.) She told me that Ed has a pilot’s license now and he’s flying her to Catalina next week. She noted my excitement and clarified “We’re really just friends now but I’m totally happy about that.” I know she’s always had a weakness for Edward and It’s cool that he’s being a real friend when she can use one.

WILL YOU PLEASE SIGN MY PANTIES?



Droves of nubile females turned up at the Avalon Thursday night to see Jared Leto’s band 30 Seconds to Mars. They were gratified to observe that their idol has pared off the sixty pounds he gained to play Mark David Chapman in “Chapter 27.” The after-party was set for upstairs at the Spider club and his girl fans grew restless waiting for Leto to appear. (Apparently he was onstage judging some kind of contest involving fake blood.) Some gushed their love for Leto , others clutched 30 seconds to Mars panty briefs that they wanted Jared to autograph. Lindsay Lohan didn’t like being a face in THAT crowd so she marched down to Jared’s bus and – viola-neither made it back to the party. The panty girls were left bereft. Don’t expect a hot new Jared-Lindsay romance however� we hear Jared has a crush on Jessica Simpson.

THE PARTY'S OVER



Last weekend Jim Carrey had a barbecue at his Brentwood home and invited a gaggle of celebrity friends and their families. There was an abundance of food and swimming and activities all afternoon and the crowd had a great time. To top it off, Jim announced there would be a screening of Da Vinci Code at 7pm. Just like that the place CLEARED OUT! The prospect of having to endure the excruciatingly long and dull movie sent everyone rushing to their cars. Jim was astonished – but at least he didn’t have to worry about getting rid of straggling guests who don’t know when to say goodnight. No word on whether Jenny Mc Carthy scrammed too.

HOW DOES MY HAIR LOOK?


Jennifer Aniston has made thinly veiled references to the fact that she’s happy to be with a guy who isn’t focused on his personal appearance. Her new beau Vince Vaughn is generally oblivious about his looks. Few people realize it, but Jen’s ex Brad Pitt, is one of the vainest actors in Hollywood. Not necessarily obnoxious, just OBSESSED with his looks. What OTHER actor do we know of who travels with his makeup artist to make sure his slightly flawed skin is prettied up to the max at all times? Brad is extremely fussy about his hair he spends HOURS in the salon chair getting perfect highlights. And they’d better be in the right places he’s been known to go home and decide that an important strand of hair was overlooked and go back for more! Even Brad’s funky wardrobe is no accident- like many female stars, he has a full time stylist shopping for him. Guess living up to the title Sexiest Man Alive is hard work. Wonder how Angelina feels about fighting for the mirror.

NO IFS ANDS OR BUTTS



Apparently Supermodel Tyra Banks isn’t kidding when she says she feels like SHE has flaws too. In fact she’s self-conscious enough to teach the cameramen on her talk show exactly how to shoot her. Tyra has a strict rule: NO SHOTS OF MY BUTT! Camera operators are instructed NOT to follow her rear end with the camera in situations where she’s walking away. “Keep it above my waist ” she warned. Sometimes even flattering lighting isn’t enough.
(Above – a rarely seen view of Tyra)

WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES



One more reason to love Keith Richards : He hates to wear anything that looks new or stylish or “designery.” His wardrober for the Rolling Stones current tour, Robert Carey-Williams , says “You can’t just present a new shirt on a hanger for Keith to wear. Richards would much rather discover a garment wadded up in a corner. Sometimes you have to leave clothes about, as opposed to offering them to him.”
Equally eccentric Johnny Depp has long admired Richards’ style and talent for wearing scarves. Depp modelled the look of his camp character in “Pirates of the Caribbean” after Keith. They’ve become such close friends that Keith likes to have the actor break in his shoes before he puts them on. And Johnny doesn’t mind scuffing up the shoes for his buddy at least they’re not too small.

KATIE'S BABY




We hear that Suri Cruise is being closely watched by the Scientologists because she COULD turn out to be L Ron Hubbard reincarnated! It brings to mind Rosemary’s Baby, doesn’t it? Anyway, the Scientology bunch has been eagerly awaiting the return of their departed spiritual leader. They believe when a Scientologist dies that they select a baby’s body and take over the soul. When the baby grows up it is drawn to Scientology. They calculate that Hubbard would select a very special child in which to make his return. Tom Cruise and Katie would be ideal parents for an L Ron Hubbard baby. Consequently they are looking for any sign that Suri has a link to Hubbard. Most likely they’ll have to wait until Suri can talk and begins her auditing classes. Who knows? She might start quoting passages from Dianetics.
For those of you who think my reference to Rosemary’s Baby is far �fetched: Here’s a synopsis of the movie from Yahoo:
“A young married couple, trying unsuccessfully to conceive, finally have it happen when the husband strikes a deal with the devil worshippers next door. All of this is unbeknownst to the poor wife/mother who soon realizes she could be having Satan’s child.”
I rest my case!

PHOTO TIPSTER



We wonder �is Richie Sambora in cahoots with Denise Richards in setting up all those photo ops of them frolicking together in Europe? He must be- they’re just too perfect. Denise wanted EVERYONE (especially Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear) to know that she and Richie did NOT split up as erroneously written in In Touch. We get the hint, Denise. Naughty Denise HAS been feeling some press backlash an Australian mag supposedly wrote that Denise’s second child was actually Sambora’s- which the pair hotly denied. Another rumor abroad was that Denise is pregnant with Richie’s child right now. If those bikini shots are any indication, that story’s not true either.

IS SHE OR ISN'T SHE?



Last minute buzz: Before the final tally Wednesday night, a rumor swept the American Idol offices and backstage that Katharine McPhee ,or members of her family, have close ties to Scientology. As a result, the Scientologists were expected to organize a massive number of voters to make SURE that Katharine was the winner. Remember, Scientologists helped Tom Cruise tally an impressive first weekend by purchasing large blocks of tickets to his movie MI2. Nobody wanted to see the contest manipulated that way, and the rumor turned out NOT to be true. According to a family friend, Katharine is not and never has been a Scientologist, nor has anyone in her immediate family. So the vote wasn’t tainted and as far as we know, the best singer won fair and square.
