RYAN PHILIPPE: NOT USED TO BEING SINGLE

rp051406_03ryancut.jpg
Ryan Philippe is officially back in circulation. – in a small way. He showed up at Winston’s with his longtime buddy and partner in crime, Breckin Meyer, and around eight other friends. According to a witness, none of the girls seemed to be with Ryan. Ryan ordered bottles for the table, and the group enjoyed a festive evening but “Ryan seemed oblivious to the fact that every woman in the bar was acutely aware of his presence. He really looked GORGEOUS.” He was the target of many flirty glances. In spite of opportunity lurking all around him, Ryan stuck with his friends and they all left together.

A sensible and euphoric looking Amanda Peet holds on tight to her tummy as she leaves Il Fornaio in Beverly Hills yesterday after indulging in an Italian lunch. The Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip actress and her husband screenwriter David Benioff are expecting their first baby and her TV character is conveniently pregnant also. Amanda’s mum about the date due, but we’re guessing sometime this month.

We’ve been waiting for some good news about Farrah Fawcett so we could show you this great vintage picture of her. Here she is back in her heyday in the 70’s clad in her tennis outfit, about to bite into a big burger and wash it down with a non-diet coke. Remember her great hair? And it was BEFORE extensions, so it was all hers. We were happy to hear that her doctor declared her cancer-free just in time for her birthday. Welcome back, Farrah!

IS IT HYDE – OR THE GOVERNOR'S BALL?

7766768.jpg
The Academy of Motion Pictures has always been offended by the fact that after the Oscar ceremony, the Governor’s Ball is not well attended. Everybody seems to rush off to fashionable parties around town and they often skip the Ball. Celebrities who DO attend the Ball often do so only long enough to pose for photographs and maybe nibble an appetizer. In spite of the fact that the academy spends a fortune on the Ball and has Wolfgang Puck in the kitchen, the turnout is not so impressive. So this year they decided to make the extravagant event more like a hip club. Lots of couches and seating areas and bars, and NO MORE of those formal sit down dinner tables – instead, buffet tables manned by chefs. More casual and fun is a good idea – but parties like Vanity Fair are still a hard act to beat.

BRITNEY SPEARS: SHE WILL SURVIVE

Britney, Britney, Britney. Don’t you have any friends to clue you in on the basic needs for survival? Judging by your past behavior, we guess not, so WE are taking on the task of educating you about the use of public restrooms. First of all, you are no longer in Louisiana – gas station bathrooms in Los Angeles are LAST choice in dire emergencies. When we are on the road and need a bathroom fast, we civilized LA people look for a nice supermarket, a fast food restaurant, a hotel, a department store, or a Starbucks. Gas stations stopped taking “pride in their clean restrooms” in the 70’s and most of them haven’t been cleaned since then. We can only imagine the horrific scene (and scent) that awaited you when you were forced to use the mens room because the ladies room was locked at the Malibu station in the picture above. Somebody PLEASE get this message to Britney.

TYRA BANKS: NOT QUITE OPRAH YET

tyra%20bankscut_jpg.jpg
Since the first time Tyra Banks shared a stage with Oprah, she has wanted to BE her. A younger version of her, of course. Tyra admits Oprah has been her inspiration and her show is successful so she’s obviously appealing to viewers. Tyra has even gained WEIGHT and made a big deal out of her body image problems like Oprah. Tyra’s cool and her coworkers like her (like Oprah) but Tyra has a long way to go to touch Oprah in one department. Oprah is famously generous with her staffers – she’s given them Hawaiian vacations, cars, fat bonuses, and much more. This Christmas Tyra gave each employee a thank-you note and a ten dollar gift certifiate for iTunes along with a list of her recommended songs.

Here’s teen idol Jesse McCartney of Summerland, leaving Koi Saturday night, trying to look both innocent and sober. He’s been photographed before partying with a beer bottle in his hand , and he’s still only nineteen. We wonder if Koi treats him like Lindsay Lohan and serves him cocktails in a coffee mug. Probably not. We do like his touches of color – especially the red watch and shoes.

MICHAEL JACKSON AND MACAULAY CULKIN: SECRET DEAL?

0201_jackson_kids_cut2.jpg
We can’t help but notice that those new pictures from TMZ revealing Michael Jackson’s kids back up our theory about who the REAL father is. It’s been obvious since day one that these kids don’t share Michael’s genes. Maybe that’s one reason he keeps them wrapped in burkas. WE remember the days when Michael was absolutely besotted with Macaulay Culkin – after he saw Home Alone. (see top photo) They became inseparable. Michael didn’t have much in common with Mac after he grew up, but they remained friends. When Michael talked Debbie Rowe into having children for him, WE theorize that he also talked young and impulsive Mac into donating the sperm so he could have his own set of Home Alone children. There IS an eerie resemblence.

JOHN TRAVOLTA: FROM HAIRSPRAY TO HOGS

It wasn’t easy prepping John Travolta for reshoots for his movie Wild Hogs. The movie is about four suburban guys who hit the road on bikes looking for adventure and it stars Travolta, Martin Lawrence, William H Macy and Tim Allen. Hogs wrapped last summer and since then, John filmed Hairspray, starring in drag as Edna Turnblad. He happily packed on a few pounds for the hefty Edna character, so when he was called in for Hog reshoots recently, he didn’t look the same. Wardrobe had to scramble to alter stuff and find clothes that fit and disguised his size. Travolta’s hair was a totally different color so it had to be re-dyed to match his Hogs hairpiece. Did you know he wears a full toupee that goes from temple to temple? When he’s wearing a baseball cap it means he doesn’t have his hairpiece on. The whole hair process was done in total privacy behind closed doors – presumably so nosey people like us won’t take a photo.

HEATHER GRAHAM: ADRIFT AT SUNDANCE

25370095heathercut.jpg
What is it about Sundance that turns boyfriends into MONSTERS? We just heard a grueling story about Heather Graham and her boyfriend Charles Ferri, a clubowner whose Star Lounge is set to open any minute in New York. Heather and Charles were at the Hollywood Life magazine party and she was being photographed and interviewed by reporters about her film Adrift in Manhattan, but, according to our witness, she held onto her boyfriend and didn’t ignore him. At one point he walked over to talk to two girls and when Heather was free she moved over to join them. She stood politely, smiling sweetly while they talked until the boyfriend angrily grabbed her and pulled her outside. Party guests could see him through the large window, berating and screaming at the miserable lookng Heather. For fiteen minutes he lectured her viciously at top volume as she came closer to tears. When he came back inside the boyfriend was still ranting “THAT’S why I HATE actresses! They’re so INSECURE- I can’t even TALK to another girl!” people tried to calm him and Heather went home alone, upset. The angry boyfriend (who has been described as a “womanizer”) went on to another party on his own.
