Rumors are frantically circutating on the internet that Jennifer Aniston hooked up with Kevin Federline at a club recently and, after many cocktails, THEY LEFT TOGETHER!
GOLDEN GLOBES: PROBLEM SOLVED
Will the Golden Globes committee have a hard time booking A-list celebrities as presenters now that they are no longer handing out $40,000 gift bags? We suspected the stars might be a tad less cooperative. The Hollywood Foreign Press gave up the goody bag practice not so much because of Edward Norton’s recent comments in New York magazine about the “shameful” practice, but because they are being forced to pay a million dollars to the IRS for LAST year’s swag bags! But like everything else, there’s a way around this dilemma. Before the Globes event, big companies have rented suites in the Beverly Hilton hotel that will be turned into “gift boutiques” for celebrities. Now the stars can pick out whatever they want, still tax free, and the Globes people have nothing to do with it.
Our Readers Know
Suddenly OUR scoop about Sharon Stone hooking up with Christian Slater is all over the web and it’s quoted word for word! Our readers read it two days earlier. But the story was appropriated by a website called WENN ( who seems to SELL gossip to websites that need it) and Hollywood.com. They must have been very impressed with the item – they copied it word for word, and distributed it everywhere WITHOUT CREDITING their source which is, of course, Janet Charlton’s Hollywood. We admit that fresh original gossip is hard to come by, and we slave to dig it up for our readers. JCH adheres to website protocol which means – give credit and links to fellow websites when appropriate. Thanks to the sites out there who DO – and SHAME on the ones who just steal. Next time come HERE first and get it staight from the source!
PATRICK DEMPSEY TAKES A HIKE
Now that Patrick Dempsey has been dubbed “Dr. McDreamy” he has quite a rep to maintain. HIS sex appeal has viewers gravitating to Grey’s Anatomy and suddenly his own anatomy is being scrutinized . So Patrick is taking no chances. He’s hikng off his holiday calories in Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles. Fans interested in getting a glimpse of the sexy TV doc will have to keep their eyes open for a scruffy guy in sweats with a wool cap pulled down over his head. Of course, it’s also advisable for Patrick to keep in fighting shape just in case his costar Isaiah Washington gets out of hand again.
KEVIN FEDERLINE MAKEUNDER
Look closely at this picture and you’ll see the new and improved Kevin Federline. Clubhounds have been surprised to see that he’s discarded his falling-down hip hop jeans for designer denims and ditched the oversize T shirts for cool jackets. His braids are long gone and he sports a close buzzcut. He’s actually well-groomed! He’s got the slick sophisticated look of a guy on the cover of a men’s magazine. Could splitting with Britney have improved his looks? Or did he clean up his act for the upcoming courtroom appearances? Nowadays when he walks into a club the girls buzz around like flies. But so far he’s still playing hard to get.
CONAN: SECURE IN HIS MASCULINITY?
We LOVE it when our gossip takes on a life of it’s own! Last night on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Ving Rhames guested and Conan couldn’t help bringing up our item about Ving’s “difficult kissing scene” in his movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Ving admitted that he didn’t want to kiss a MAN onscreen and kissed a “female double ” instead, just like we told you! Ving stated “I am secure in my masculinity” and then he offered to demonstrate a “stage kiss” with Conan where their lips don’t really meet. Conan warned Ving “My wife has TIVO.” Their fake smooch drew much laughter with Conan asking “Am I the man or the woman?” We’re just happy our funny story was appreciated!
Who's That?
In 2003 a hungry Chicago star Queen Latifah (her real name is Dana Owens) wasn’t in the mood for fans. She and a pal popped into a donut shop in Hollywood near the Kodak Theater and started picking out a dozen chocolate and maple donuts to go. A guy walked up and said “I’m a big fan and I can’t WAIT to see Chicago!” Latifah said “What’re you talking about?” The guy said “aren’t you Queen Latifah?” She said “Oh, Everybody thinks I look like her -and I can’t even stand her music!” She paid for her donuts and her friend said “C’mon Dana” and they walked out!
PEACHES BLOWS OFF LINDSAY LOHAN
Lindsay Lohan is still smarting from the cold shoulder she got last week at the Peaches concert at The Avalon. (Peaches is the electro-punk girl rocker who’s getting hotter by the minute.) Lindsay is not USED to hearing the word no. She and her friends had a prime table at the Peaches performance. But that wasn’t enough – Lindsay wanted to go backstage and socialize before the show. Security had to get the okay from Peaches before they could allow ANYONE backstage and Peaches responded with a resounding ‘”NO.” ( A girl after our own heart!) Lindsay couldn’t believe her ears and she was so steamed she left before the show started.
Naked Basketball
This A-list actor has a bachelor pad in the valley that swings in all directions. It’s fully loaded with pool, game room, gym, basketball court etc. Recently word got out among the guys that he was having a party and one friend invited a new guy in town. The new dude was thrilled to be invited to a big star’s home to hang out with him and his famous buddies. Imagine his shock when he walked up to the house and rang the bell and the host answered the door stark naked! The bigtime actor casually explained they were having a game of “naked basketball.” The newcomer looked around and noted the group was all male and all nude! No girls allowed! He made an excuse to quickly depart and won’t soon forget that naked basketball party .
JIM CARREY: PERFECT TEN?
Bo Derek‘s 1979 movie “10” launched a hairstyle fad – beaded braids – and also launched inferiority complexes in millions of females. Who could measure up to her impossible perfection at the TOP of the men’s rating scale for women? The Blake Edwards comedy was a hit and it made Bo a star. Now it’s being remade (yet another example of Hollywood running out of original ideas) but several leading men have turned DOWN the role originated by the late Dudley Moore. (The plot is about a Hollywood songwriter in the throes of mid-life crisis, who goes on vacation in Mexico and becomes infatuated with his dentist’s daughter who is honeymooning there.) Maybe they don’t want to be associated with “mid-life crisis” – but Hugh Grant and Dennis Quaid both turned the role down. We hear Jim Carrey has accepted and hope he can keep his face under control for this one. Now the search is on for a modern-day “10” female costar – we think it will be difficult to top Bo. Any suggestions?
