EDDIE MURPHY DOESN'T WANT TO SING IT AGAIN

2006_dreameddiecut_003.jpg
Why are we not surprised that Eddie Murphy turned DOWN a request by the Academy to sing his Dreamgirls nominated song “Patience” at the Oscars? It would have been a fabulous number if it was anything like the movie. Insiders suspect that Eddie felt insecure about his voice. As much as he loves to sing, he doesn’t have the greatest voice and it requires a lot of doctoring up and enhancing in the studio. A live act might reveal shortcomings so Eddie opted out.

DIANA ROSS TO THE ACADEMY: ARE YOU KIDDING?

dianarosscut122806_01.jpgWe hear that the Academy of Motion pictures had the colossal nerve to ask Diana Ross to sing one of the nominated songs from Dreamgirls on the Oscar show. Are they out of touch or WHAT? First of all, when Diana was asked by Diane Sawyer what she thought of the movie, Diana replied ” I haven’t seen it – maybe I should see it with my lawyer.” The movie is based on the Supremes, but doesn’t focus on the “Diana” character. Mary Wilson, who loved the movie, predicted Diana might not like that. Plus, as Fox’s Roger Friedman pointed out , Diana recently released an album “I Love You” and sales are dismal. We can only IMAGINE what she thought when the Academy asked her to sing a Dreamgirls song. So far, no response.

A Long Rap Sheet

This hot rapper has a history he’d like to forget. His record label isn’t worried about the fact that he’s a former drug dealer- they’re worried about his early sexual proclivities. Right now as he climbs up the charts, the label is very quietly buying up photos – and video if they can locate it – of their “talent” having sex with men! He’s young in the photos but it’s definitely him. Some of the gay websites with the pictures don’t even realize who he is, so they cooperate. Our guy also has a very respectable girlfriend who would be horrified by his gay history. Can he bury his past?

AN OPEN LETTER TO JENNIFER ANISTON

jennifer_anistoncut.jpgDear Jennifer,

We believe you. We believe that you had work done on your nose simply for a deviated septum and did NOT have a nose job. Before and after photos make it absurdly obvious that you are telling the truth. We cannot explain why every magazine and many websites mindlessly accuse you of having plastic surgery when the PROOF is right on your face. You look EXACTLY the same! And that’s the way we like you! Regarding Keanu Reeves – we’re not so sure we believe those stories about you inviting him over for a tryst. He IS really cute and seems sweet, but he has some of the same traits that you didn’t like about Brad. He’s VERY laid back. Not a witty conversationalist. Nice, but not that exciting or funny. Not very social. Likes to ride alone on his bike. We’ll be surprised if that “tryst” story turns out to be true.
Yours truly,
JCH

JANICE DICKINSON: CAN I HAVE A SIP?

jaaanicecut_1157904073.jpg
Janice Dickinson was rather subdued when she entered Fubar – the West Hollywood gay bar – Friday night with a “cute preppy guy around 25 years old.” Was he a boyfriend, a makup artist, a nephew? A model from her show? They seemed friendly, but not overtly affectionate. Nobody could figure it out. Janice carried a bottle of water (the Lindsay Lohan ploy) but every time she spoke to someone she took a sip of their beer. Reminds us of smokers who are trying to quit by only smoking other peoples cigarettes. “Sober” Janice didn’t totally disappoint the crowd- before she left she whipped off her jacket and danced around in her black lace bra.

It was a fun weekend for Jessica Simpson – dark clouds have lifted and she’s HAPPY again! Jess, sporting her new reddish hair, and sister Ashlee partied at after hours club Xenii Saturday night and their table was the place to be. The O.C. cast hung out with the sisters and Jessica happily greeted everyone and danced all night – mostly with Adam Brody. She spend so much time comingling with Adam that people started to speculate about them. Ray J and Ja Rule couldn’t resist joining the Simpson’s raucous group. At 3 AM Jessica got a craving for french fries – she sent an assistant to get some. A big box of fries was plopped in the middle of their table and everyone dug in. Jessica had so much fun that she and her sister didn’t leave until 5 AM.

FARRAH FAWCETT AND RYAN O'NEAL: BETTER DAYS?

We’re starting to get the feeling that right about now Farrah is beginning to remember why she broke up with Ryan O’Neal all those years ago. Maybe he WAS supportive during her cancer battle, but he’s the same bully he always was. Ryan’s ego and bad temper has caused awful problems for all his kids and don’t forget he was also accused of introducing his kids to drugs. If you look at all the tragic problems his children have had, you can clearly see the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Ryan’s Saturday arrest involvng a fight with his son Griffin, punctuated by a gunshot, proves age hasn’t mellowed him. Maybe he can be a good FRIEND, but he’s still a candidate for world’s worst dad.

KIM KARDASHIAN: INSPIRED BY PARIS HILTON

Kim%20and%20Pariscut.JPG
We’re hearing a persistant rumor that the sex tape of Ray J and Kim Kardashian DOES exist and will soon be on the market . Of course, the former lovers will blame a third party for releasing it , but actually THEY did it and will be sharing the profits. Apparently Paris Hilton is to blame for this brainstorm. She raved to her friend Kim about how much money she made from HER tape (remember she blamed someone else also) and advised Kim on exactly HOW to do it. Naturally, a big publicity build-up is important and heated denials before release inceases interest and demand. Ray and Kim are anticipating that their bedroom antics will make them rich – we wonder if they’re well known enough to pull in the big bucks.

JAMES WOODS: NOT AS SMART AS HE LOOKS?

jw2.woodscutjpgJust when you thought James Woods might have come to his senses – he’s back with his barely legal girlfriend Ashley Madison, who is 39 years YOUNGER than he is. The Shark star made a big deal out of announcing that he broke up with the aspiring actress when she misbehaved and was insensitive at his brother’s funeral. Ashley was described as wearing a micro miniskirt, chainsmoking, and looking at magazine photos of herself at the funeral while Woods wept. That was a few months ago and we thought James had actually wised up. But it didn’t take long for him for forgive and forget, and Ashley is a fixture on the Shark set once again.

GREY'S ANATOMY: PROBLEM SOLVED

ShondaRhim_cut_728%2330EBF5.jpg
We’re not surprised that ABC is crazy about Grey’s Anatomy creator and head writer Shonda Rhimes (pictured here with Ellen Pompeo) – her hit show has salvaged the network. We just didn’t realize how far they would go to make her happy. Studio people have been looking for a medium sized house in Hollywood not too far from where the show is filmed. The house is for Shonda – not to live in, but to write in. it seems she loves to SMOKE and it’s against the law for her to smoke at the studio around other writers. So they’re getting her a private house where she can write those brilliant scripts and smoke all she wants.
