THE GUY CAN'T HELP IT



Ladies man Jeff Goldblum, clad in an expensive black leather jacket and hip glasses, stopped into Greenblatts deli on Sunset to pick up dinner to go. (Salad and smoked salmon.) He struck up a flirty conversation with the girl in line in front of him. While waiting for his order, he chatted up the young saleswoman in the wine section. When a female shopper selected two bottles of wine, he started an animated discussion with her about her choices. An observer remarked ” He managed to flirt with every woman in the place while waiting for his order. No wonder he’s not engaged (to 23 year old dancer Catherine Wreford) anymore!”

UNDERCOVER SCHEME



The tabs are aflutter since a former US Weekly reporter was arrested for computer hacking. This reporter left US to start her own paparazzi agency, and a few days ago the FBI arrived at her home with a search warrant and seized her computer, among other items. She’s accused of hacking into the US computer system and scamming celebrity info in particular about Charlie Sheen. Why would she dig for Sheen info? The hot rumor around Hollywood is because she had a sweet backroom deal with Denise Richards, that’s why. It may or may not be true, but it sure makes sense. Denise set up photo ops for the agency� remember those first pix of her and Richie Sambora frolicking? Big bucks. In exchange, the former US reporter may have been digging up dirt about Charlie for Denise. Divorce ammunition. We wonder what Richie Sambora will think about being involved in this dirty little scheme.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SANTINO RICE?



Our favorite Project Runway loser is still the same ornery character he was on the show. (By the way, did you happen to notice on one episode of Runway that Santino’s “best friend” is Madonna’s exboyfriend Tony Ward? Small world, huh?) Five of the finalists on the BRAVO program were graduates of FIDM (The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) in Los Angeles. Namely, Daniel Franco, Guadalupe Vidal, Nick Verreos, Raymundo Baltazar, and Santino. After the reality show ended, the five graduates were invited back to FIDM to take part in a panel to discuss their success and answer students’ questions. Everyone said yes, except for Santino and the event took place without him. Why? Even though he lives in the area, Santino wanted his Alma Mater to fork over $5000 for his appearance!

DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?



All of a sudden we’re not so upset about Chris Daughtry’s shocking elimination on American Idol. Success has ALREADY gone to his head! Chris and Bucky Covington were in the rockin’ crowd watching Alice in Chains at The Roxy Thursday night. Billy Corgin and Scott Weiland got up and sang with the band and Chris wanted to get onstage and jam but they wouldn’t let him. Chris became arrogant and gasped that fatal line “DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I almost won on American Idol!”
“Sorry � old school rockers only” he was told.
Keep in mind both Bucky and Chris are married. “After the show Chris turned hound dog and flirted with every cute girl in sight”. Bucky was polite to all and heard reminding a fan “I’m married, you know.” Chris tried to scam free drinks by flattering the female bartenders. When they said no way he pulled the line out again ‘DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” An attractive fan walked up and told Chris “You were robbed!” (referring to his Idol loss) He replied without modesty “Yeah, I was. I knew I was the best out there!” Taken aback, the girl said “You’re SO cocky!” Chris shrugged “When you’re good, you CAN be cocky!”
Talk about losers with attitude!
We also had a report of Chris butting in on Brandon Davis and Nicky Hilton while they were having lunch at the Polo Lounge. Chris presumptiously took photos of the pair eating and then plopped himself down at their table where he monopolized the conversation. Brandon and Nicky weren’t thrilled and they discreetly arranged to have security shoo the Idol wannabe back to his own table.

THE MAN WHO TAMED JESSICA'S BUTT



Thanks to Jessica Simpson, the hottest trainer at Sports Club LA in Beverly Hills is Mike Alexander. He still puts Jessica through her paces several times a week, often at the gym. Jessica’s workouts HARDLY go unnoticed- girls are standing in line for personal training from Jessica’s guy Mike. A gym member noted “Mike is the talk of the gym. He has every hour filled- a lot of women want Jessica’s ‘Dukes of Hazzard”‘body. They all hope to look like her”
“Mike isn’t gouging his clients � he still charges $75 per hour IF you can get an appointment. ”
The gym member says “The funny thing is you can hear his clients asking ‘Is this the same thing Jessica does for her butt?’ Or you can hear Mike pushing them ‘TEN more repititions- � JESSICA wouldn’t complain about this!'”

NOT ONE PERSON GOT UP AND DANCED



Madonna fans spending $350 per ticket are in for a big jolt if her concert tour is anywhere near as disappointing as her final dress rehearsal � free for friends and family Saturday night at the Forum. “It went over like a lead balloon.” said an observer. “Her first appearance climbing out of a huge disco ball in Gaultier’s riding oufit was promising, but horses and disco make no sense! She skipped most of her popular songs and sang new ones � and they’re not that memorable.” The audience wasn’t happy and when she tried to get everyone to sing along there was dead silence. “What’s WRONG with you people?” she demanded of her listless observers.”Next time I’m gonna CHARGE you!” The crowd wasn’t impressed by her few uninspired costume changes she had a falling out with Jean-Paul Gaultier and they parted ways so she switched costumers early on. Since she wore mostly the same blah lavender leotards we’ve already seen too much of, it looked like Capezio picked up where Gaultier left off. Who ever heard of BORING COSTUMES at a Madonna show?
To be fair, she got a few big laughs when the red kaballah bracelets she and her dancers wore showed up on the huge video screens. During a crucifix scene someone whispered ” Marilyn Manson did that in 1997.” Madonna’s political moments, lack of eye candy, a depressing kids with AIDS video, and dreary song choices brought the crowd DOWN. It wasn’t the fresh, naughty Madonna we live for. Even her celebrity friends left early – Macy Gray and Kevin Richardson sneaked out before the end, and Demi Moore slipped out before the lackluster finale with Guy Oseary. On the way out, Oseary shook his head and whispered to a pal “Totally FLAT!” And everyobdy within earshot agreed.

ONCE A HICK……..



Whatever you do, don’t give Kevin Federline the wrong drink! On Kev and Briitney’s last visit to Koi they sat with baby Sean and two friends on the patio -where smoking is allowed. (A baby no-no?) Britney and friends drank what looked like martinis while Kevin ordered “hick drinks” (that’s what the servers and bartenders call them) concoctions that no one had ever HEARD of, and didn’t know how to make. He had to settle for a normal cocktail and was disgruntled. When they left, the Federline bodyguard only left a measly $30 tip for their $500 meal.

SHE CAN AFFORD TO BE GENEROUS



Money is no object for Ellen Degeneres when it comes to pampering her girlfriend Portia de Rossi. Ellen’s been decorating their lavish new home and while the girls were shopping together, Portia fell in love with a forty thousand dollar couch upholstered with alpaca. Portia moaned about the ultra soft furry feel of the cream colored sofa and couldn’t live without it. (Can’t you just picture the girls cuddling on the couch watching Ellen’s talk show?) Ellen not only had it delivered promptly � she ordered a custom chair to match for $18000.

DILETTANTE?



We can’t help but wonder if Kimberly Stewart takes her rigorous workout classes – Barry’s Bootcamp – in West Hollywood, seriously. According to a classmate, Rod’s daughter showed up for class slurping the remains of a high calorie Frappacino with whipped cream, while puffing on a cigarette. (VERY Paris Hilton!)

HILARY BUSTED



It’s been kept undercover until now, but Hilary Duff and five other underage girls were nabbed by undercover cops in a sting at Mood recently, and herded outside. Several girls had fake ID’s but Hilary didn’t . She WAS underage in a bar, but luckily they didn’t catch her drinking. She was scared and crying. The cops took the girls to their squad car and called parents. They didn’t arrest the girls – just wanted to scare and humiliate them. Hilary’s mother picked her up. Her boyfriend Joel Madden was secretly delighted when he heard about it. He doesn’t like Hilary going to clubs without him. THAT’S why Hilary has been playing it safe lately. Sometimes she rents a whole club and has a “party” so it’s legal for her to be there underage.
