THIS is how Victoria Beckham dressed for Tom and Katie’s wedding festivities. Is Victoria sending out a message that she’s down with outer space aliens? We LOVE the way she looks, (and Italian fans gave her the biggest ovation we hear) but judging by this outfit, she’ll be the first wedding celebrity to sign up for Scientology courses.

Here comes Jeremy Piven – we caught him shopping at the new Penguin store that just opened on Melrose Ave. He looks happy with his purchases – do you suppose they gave him a discount? Better yet, do you suppose they would dare NOT give him one?
Hold onto your lunch! We think it’s time to start buying The National Enquirer again! Anyone who thrives on gossip will appreciate their amazing story about Rachael Ray‘s husband. The tabloid has an interview with a woman who claims to have had a five year super kinky affair with Rachael’s husband John Cusimano, a 39 year old lawyer. Kinky isn’t even a strong enough word- this woman claims John paid her to SPIT in his face! (Keep in mind, this woman passed a lie detector test.) John met the woman- Jeaninne Walz– and her friends outside a lesbian bar in the West village in 2000. He offered her $20 if she’d spit in his face. Four women did it and he even took photos of them doing it. Later he and Jeaninne met for dozens of sessions in New York hotels. She claimed they did drugs and she spit in his face, rubbed her bare feet on his face and “other degrading acts too graphic” for the Enquirer to describe, while he was naked. He paid up to $500 per session, depending on the activities.The last time they got together was last May. Our favorite quote: The woman said “I’ve seen him leave a hotel covered in spit, not even wiping it off, and get into a taxi and go home.” Wow – isn’t THAT an appetite killer!
This divorce even took Hollywood by surprise. The cute young couple loved being parents and appeared to be a good match. They seemed to have a perfect life and were envied by outsiders. When they suddenly split up there was no real explanation. Was he cheating? Was she cheating? They didn’t seem to mind the accusations, because they drew attention AWAY from what REALLY destroyed the marriage. Hard drugs. She found out he was addicted to heroin and had no intenton of giving it up.
If you noticed that Jessica Simpson‘s lips don’t match the words she’s saying in her TV ad for DirectTV, we’ve got the answer. The ad is a take-off on her movie The Dukes of Hazzard, but we’ve been told she didn’t have to work very hard for the money. No dieting or working out this time around. Instead of having Jessica stuff herself into her old Daisy Dukes and recreating the scene, the ad people took a clip from the movie and simply changed the dialog. We’re not implying Jessica would have a HARD TIME squeezing herself into those tiny shorts now, BUT she admitted it took months of torturous working out to do it for the movie.
Scientology LOVES Hollywood POWER COUPLES. These four couples may not realize it, but Scientologists are working overtime to lure them into the fold. Each of these famous and successful pairs would be a huge trophy for the organization and they’ve been under scrutiny for awhile. Slowly but surely Scientologists have been forming friendships with the twosomes. Leah Remini is pulling Jennifer and Marc toward Scientology. Tom Cruise has been working on his Collateral costar Jada Pinkett Smith while his bride Katie Holmes is expected to sign up the Beckhams. Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are a wild card- but his temperament could make him vulnerable. High ranking Scientologists will be attending Tom Cruise’s over-the-top wedding in Italy and personally making sure these special people are very impressed with what Scientology does for Tom, and could do for THEM as well. There will be MAJOR recruiting going on. It’ll be interesting to see who, if anyone, fall for it.
As if the debacle of Rockstar Supernova wasn’t enough to rob him of his last remnant of rock n roll credibility, Tommy Lee has taken it a step further. He introduced his clothing line, TL for PL , (Tommy Lee for Peoples Liberation) at Bloomingdale’s (not exactly the hippest of stores.) His collection includes t shirts, hooded sweats and denim feauring images of his tattoos. Here he models one of his designs – a faux army jacket with matching camo collar and cuffs. We think it’s even too corny for Clay Aiken to wear.
We usually LOVE Gloria Allred but we are very upset by the bogus lawsuit she may file against Borat. (The etiquette lady he fooled in the movie is angry.) Gloria – WHAT HAPPENED to your sense of humor? We fear that Gloria and her legal compatriots can’t take a joke. And THAT is truly a crime. We wonder if Gloria could possibly have sat through Borat without laughing her head off. So WHAT if Sacha Baron Cohen poked fun at a few people – since when is that against the law? We were thrilled by Cohen’s lack of political correctness – especially since he skewered everyone equally. We should all laugh at ourselves, not sue each other. Has Gloria forgotten how to have a good time? This mounting pile of tacky lawsuits by the people Borat fooled is an embarrassment to all Americans WITH a sense of humor.
With the spotlight on Michael Jackson and his catastrophically reviewed performance on the World Music Awards, closeup photos of his hands are circulating. Observers have exclaimed that his peculiar looking dark, rough fingernails nails indicate that he’s desperately in need of a good manicure. Actually those brown nails are a result of Michael’s vitiligo. Back when Jackson started getting white skin discolorations he had a choice of two treatments. He could use medication to darken the white areas on his skin or use medication to bleach and lighten his brown skin. Usually patients choose to change the color of their spots, but Michael wanted to lighten all his skin to match the white areas. The skin under his nails is discolored, which is a side effect of the process. Only recently did he start showing his hands – he usually keeps them out of sight so he doesn’t SCARE children.
Even more than Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban‘s apparent height difference, we are amazed at the proliferation of “Nicole pregnant ” stories in those magazines you pay for. You can’t escape reading stories about Nicole expecting – one story printed went so far as to detail a conversation that Nicole and Keith Urban had when she went to visit her husband, currently in recovery at the Betty Ford Center. They claimed she “broke the news” of her pregnancy there. The same inside sources who were first to reveal to us exactly WHERE Keith was being treated, tell us that Nicole is NOT expecting right now. She simply visited Keith because she loves and misses her husband – she wants him healthy and home soon.
