Friends are worried because they think THIS star signed up for “Dancing with the Stars” HOPING to be injured! Twinkle toes has long had a penchant for drugs of all kind, and especially painkillers. Rigorous rehearsals often cause amateur dancers to have injuries and back problems that can last for who-knows how long. This dancer may be eagerly anticipating the powerful pills and shots generally prescribed for recovery. Friends predict such an injury will lead directly to another stint in rehab.

We can’t help but think that Lindsay Lohan’s burglary has more than a little to do with her bad habits and the questionable company she keeps. A few weeks ago she was at the Roxy for a special event. She was described as “loud, boisterous, and completely THRASHED.” An eye witness told us “Lindsay traipsed back and forth to the bathroom constantly – sometimes holding hands with girlfriends.” Our spy walked in on her once and Lindsay was snorting white powder through a straw from the bar. During the evening Lindsay had her water bottle refilled with vodka from the bartender several times. When she left she had to be helped out the back door.

Longtime buddies Jude Law and “Eli Stone” star Jonny Lee Miller are having a laugh in the West Village – and maybe comparing notes on fatherhood. Jonny’s son Buster is ten months old and Jude is expecting baby #4 with actress/model Samantha Burke. The difference is that Jonny is married to Buster’s mom Michele Hicks, and Jude had a brief fling with Burke which resulted in her pregnancy. Samantha Burke is currently considering selling her fling story to the media for $200,000. Both dads are in rehearsal for shows opening soon on Broadway.
Kathy Griffin looks pleased as punch sitting in the coveted FRONT ROW at Isaac Mizrahi’s fashion show in New York. And check out those shoes she wore for the occasion. Kathy is seated between fashion gurus Hal Rubenstein and Robert Verdi – she did not bring her secret boyfriend Tom Vise. Doesn’t this preferred seating (as opposed to standing room in the back) mean she’s moving up from the D-List to maybe the B-List? Just asking…
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Amy Winehouse out and about and we’re happy to note the beehive’s back. Actually she looks rather normal, with no apparent blood or smeared makeup. She surprised the clientele when she sang a few impromptu songs at a mostly empty club called Jazz After Dark in London. And she seems to be in the company of an attractive man. Things are looking up.
UPDATE: The guy is Amy’s exboyfriend Tyler James. (Definitely hotter than her exhusband!)
Back in the 1960’s, everyone wanted to look like Mary Travers from the group Peter, Paul, and Mary. Girls everywhere started ironing their hair and cut long bangs. Her hippie-folk look was a major fashion influence in the pre-MTV crowd. In the late 60’s, Peter, Paul, and Mary put on a free concert on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida during spring break. They drew ecstatic crowds on that warm night. A friend of ours who resembled and worshiped Mary, managed to sneak into her dressing room and steal the biggest trophy of all – HER HAIR BRUSH. She treasured her prize for years. Mary died this week from leukemia at 72.
What REALLY happened to Jessica Simpson’s beloved Maltipoo Daisy is even more heartbreaking than the story she’s been twittering. It seems Jessica is taking a lot of undeserved flak for being an irresponsible dog owner, when in fact, she is NOT. The truth is, Daisy was in the care of Jessica’s mother Tina Simpson when Daisy was snatched by that coyote. Jessica has been protecting her mother.
Here’s how it went down:
Jessica was filming her reality show out of the country and left Daisy with her mom at Tina’s gated Encino home. On Labor Day Tina was out in the backyard with her own Maltese and Daisy when Daisy saw a squirrel and ran up the hill behind the house. A coyote suddenly appeared from behind a tree and grabbed Daisy, who was never seen again. Tina was hysterical .The family searched the neighborhood and decided not to break the news to Jessica until she returned. They didn’t want her to have a meltdown far from home. Every day Jessica would call and ask about Daisy and they’d say she was fine. Jessica returned six days later on Saturday and her tearful family was together and told Jessica that Daisy had been taken by a coyote earlier that day. Jessica collapsed. She desperately started searching and hoping Daisy might have survived. Jessica knew her mother felt awful and didn’t want her to take the blame her so she was deliberately vague about releasing the details of the tragedy. The whole family is upset about this and although Jessica is beyond heartbroken, she is covering up for her mother.
It sounds highly improbable, but a friend of Chris Brown leaked this surprising piece of information about him: It seems Chris is aspiring to become an ordained minister! The source says he’s determined to prove to the world that he’s a changed man so he’s been reading the bible and studying to become a man of the cloth. “He’s become more religious since the February incident (in which he beat up his girlfriend Rihanna,) and he’s found God again. He wants to become a minister – at least part time.” He already looked like he was going to church when he appeared on Larry King.
This A List Hollywood star had had public battles with drug abuse. He seems to have put it all behind him and settled into a successful career and happy home life. What his wife doesn’t know is that he has started quietly smoking pot with his teenage son and his son’s buddies. (The scene reminds of Ryan O’Neal’s early indiscretions with his kids.) The actor doesn’t see any harm in it, but friends who know are worried.
Renee Zellweger looks sexier since she took up with “Hangover” star Bradley Cooper. We don’t remember her going to the airport in skinny jeans and high heels before. Bradley helped her load her bags into a cab after they spent five days together in Vancouver. He stayed to continue filming. Renee’s reading matter for the flight was Ghost Light by Frank Rich, which is being made into a movie. Maybe she’s considering a part.
