TOMMY LEE AND DAVE NAVARRO: WHO'S ON TOP?

dave-navarro-tommy-lee-2.jpg
Rockers Tommy Lee and Dave Navarro are friends AND rivals. They aren’t competitive when it comes to music, but when women are involved it’s a different story. They both want to be top dog with the rocker chicks. When Dave Navarro and his wife Carmen Electra split up, Tommy was sympathetic – and immediately called Carmen for a date. (We hear she didn’t say no) Dave was NOT happy. When Dave heard that Tommy’s exwife Pamela Anderson abruptly ended her marriage to Kid Rock, he was delighted at the prospect of evening the score. He commiserated with Pam about divorce and started flirting and asking her out. Smarty pants Pam figured out what the was up to and cut him off at the pass.

BORAT: EAT YOUR HEART OUT

001.JPGaisha.jpg
This weekend we met a tall gorgeous nineteen year old model named Aisha who told us she is from Kazakhstan! What a coincidence! That, of course, is the country Borat made famous! We were pleasantly surprised to see that people from her country did not all look like Borat or the gypsies featured in his movie. Aisha, who is currently posing for the Urban Outfitters catalog, told us she LOVED the movie and didn’t find it offensive at all.

MR CONFIDENTIAL: TABLOID GOSSIP RULES!

January%201957A.jpg
Here’s the perfect Christmas gift for anyone who loves gossip or Hollywood history: MR. CONFIDENTIAL . It’s a book about the man behind the famous 50’s scandal magazine and it’s written by my friend Sam Bernstein. Robert Harrison, the publisher behind Confidential, adored homosexual exposes and gleefully wrote about those “lavender lads” – Liberace being “mad about the boy” and Tab Hunter‘s “gay pajama party.” He even outed Van Johnson by declaring his conversion to heterosexuality. The “baritone babes” Lizabeth Scott and Marlene Dietrich got their share of stories too. I asked Sam to tell me about a scoop that Confidential COULDN’T print and he recalled one about Elvis. Back in 1957. A PR guy claimed that Elvis had an ongoing affair with another famous teen idol. (Tab? Troy? Fabian? Bobby?) Supposedly they got together for “man-play” – wrestling and beyond. Confidential couldn’t substantiate the story and didn’t print it. WE don’t think it was true either. In Tab Hunter‘s bio he mentioned that he was miffed when Elvis stole his “beard” Natalie Wood away from him.

MISCHA AND RACHEL: FEMALE ESPIONAGE

zoebartoc_1148199471%232C740A.jpg
The Hollywood Girl Feuds are still flourishing. At the Chateau Marmont party hosted by Penelope Cruz, Mischa Barton and Rachel Zoe were having a good time – but with one eye on the door. They did NOT want to run into Nicole Richie so they had planned to make a quick escape if when and if she arrived. They also hoped to avoid Paris Hilton so they asked people to notify them if either turned up. They had their escape route carefully planned so they could leave quickly without any fuss. (The Olsen twins weren’t about to let their dislike of Paris Hilton ruin THEIR good time – they just pretend she doesn’t exist.) Rachel and Mischa wasted their energy – their arch enemies didn’t turn up.

SHARON STONE AND CHRISTIAN SLATER: HAPPY TOGETHER

r636141496.jpg
We confess we had our doubts at first, but it seems Sharon Stone, 48, and Christian Slater, 37, really ARE a couple! They were VERY friendly while promoting their movie Bobby, and their playful and affectionate behavior at the American Music Awards left no doubt that SOMETHING was up. The fact is, they’ve been dating for awhile and showed up at the Dolce & Gabbana party at the Chateau Marmont arm in arm. A friend of Sharon’s says “They’re both really happy – but they don’t have long-term expectations. It’s a fun fling for the holidays and Sharon is a good influence. She rarely drinks and has three kids. It’s a good match for now. “

EDDIE MURPHY AND TRACEY EDMONDS: FOR REAL?

em120506.eddiecutjpg
Eddie Murphy is trying desperately to repair his besmirched image after the fiasco with Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown. He is acutely aware that his reputation has suffered since he dumped his pregnant girlfriend Mel B. and demanded a DNA test for the unborn child. He feels Mel made a fool of him. So he’s started dating Tracey Edmonds, and flaunting her at every opportunity because she is an educated and respected power player in Hollywood. Tracey attended Stanford University and she remains CEO of the Edmonds Entertainment Group in spite of her divorce from Babyface. Tracey is beautiful AND smart AND one of the richest black women in Hollywood. She makes him look good, so Eddie is taking her everywhere – even the after hours club Xenii where they openly held hands and cuddled – very out of character for Eddie.

LINDSAY LOHAN: CELEBRATING HER SOBRIETY

lindsay_lohan4300cut.jpg
No WONDER we couldn’t help being suspicious about those water bottles that Lindsay Lohan likes to tote around. Since she announced she’s in AA, the designer water bottle is her best friend. But that “seven days sober” claim she made to People didn’t last long. Early this week Lindsay went to one of her favorite West Hollywood bars and told the bartender she had been sober for eight days and wanted to celebrate by having a festive Hypnotiq martini. The bartender obligingly served her drink in a coffee mug. (Apparently this is common practice when serving underage drinkers.) Lindsay slammed back two mugsful of the potent cocktail. Observers point out that since Lindsay usually orders energy drinks at clubs, it’s quite likely that she spikes them with what “looks like” water in her bottle.

LITTLE RICHARD: THE GUY CAN'T HELP IT

2big_mar.little%20Rjpg
Okay, so this is not a RECENT photo of Little Richard, but wasn’t he adorable in the sixties? And he’s still going strong if you watched Simon Cowell‘s Celebrity Duets. Richard was a judge on the show and a coworker told us that Richard is very religious. We weren’t surprised, since we knew he was a Seventh-day Adventist minister (who married Bruce Willis and Demi Moore among others.) But Richard the rock pioneer may have a NEW religion – now he seems to be an orthodox Jew! The setsider told me he always watched the clock while taping to make sure he didn’t work after sundown Friday night. When that time came – whether they were in a commercial or not- Richard just got up and LEFT! His strict observation of the sabbath forced his coworkers to be VERY creative with their editing etc.
