WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VITAMIN C?

GT_143_Vitamin_Ccut.jpg
Vitamin C, AKA Colleen Fitzpatrick, was a hot newcomer after she appeared in Hairspray. In the 90’s she was lead singer for the underground band Eve’s Plum and her bright yellow hair (copied from us) made her a highly identifiable popstar. Cosmopolitan voted her a “fun and fearless female.” In the past few years she has dropped off the map. Now a company in England called UK Performer Services is asking around, looking for Vitamin C to pay her royalties she has earned there but they can’t find her or her management. And our curiosity is aroused – where IS she these days?

STEP ASIDE, BRITNEY

Get used to looking at this face. Britney Spears’ little sister Jamie Lynn is on the fast track to becoming the teen idol that Britney once was. Her family has carefully planned every step for the fifteen year old – from her dancing, singing, and gymnastic lessons to her Zoey 101 TV series for teens. Now that Britney is a wife and mother there’s plenty of room for another teen popstar and Jamie is growing up fast. Jamie wants to work on her acting before recording her first album. Behind the scenes her family and handlers feel she has more natural talent than her older sister and she’s on her WAY. Hopefully she learned from her sister’s mistakes.

WE WANT CANDY

We are SO happy to report that Candice Bergen is out of the hospital and apparently recovered from a stroke she had a few days ago. According to a hospital source she received prompt treatment when she fell ill, and avoided lingering damage. A full recovery is expected. Hospital employees reportedly found the Murphy Brown star to be a delightful and humorous patient and almost hated to see her go. All is forgiven for that questionable belt she wore at the Emmys.

WHO HASN'T HAD A FLING WITH LINDSAY?

Where Lindsay Lohan goes, trouble follows. We just got word that a fight broke out at Xenii last Saturday night. When Lindsay arrived at the after hours club with Stavros Niarchos and another guy, she headed right for her exboyfriend Wilmer Valderrama’s table. Obviously Wilmer has a problem with the 2nd unnamed guy. Sources say Guy #2 used to be Wilmer’s close friend – UNTIL he had a fling with Lindsay! The exfriend tried to buddy up to Wilmer but Wilmer smacked him and he swatted Wilmer back. Guards broke up the fight and Wilmer ducked out, leaving his bodyguard to sort things out. All this went down while Janet Jackson was performing onstage! Underage Lindsay was allowed to remain in the club as long as she promised not to drink. Stavros held her hand.

HAPPY GILMORE GIRL

Gilmore Girl Alexis Bledel and Milo Ventimiglia, who sometimes played her hot boyfriend on the show, broke up in July after three and a half years together. Looks like the split was a failure because a source reports that Alexis was seen at Blair’s restaurant in Silverlake last week with Milo. An eyewitness observed “Alexis looked really pretty in a black low cut dress. They held hands and kissed across the table. She blushed and they were both giddy. They seemed really happy to be together. On the way out they stopped for a big hug and a kiss in front of the restaurant.” Maybe they’re sticking to out of the way places and keeping the relationship out of the public eye until they’re sure it’s going to work this time.

PUBLICITY STUNT?

lohan_chest2cigs.jpg
Was Lindsay Lohan’s romance with Harry Morton a FAKE from beginning to end? We told you about their mutual love of publicity and the many photo-ops they set up together to make themselves more famous. (Those “candid” shots are all staged!) Now we’ve learned that they share the same publicist and THAT publicist set them up to meet last summer at a beach house. This same publicist has arrangements to share information with the top celebrity magazines. So this publicist took credit for making Lindsay and Harry a famous couple and kept the magazines happily informed also. Lindsay might have even been PAID to make Harry famous. All because it would benefit his Las Vegas club. It sounds like a tidy business arrangement but it’s possible that Lindsay developed feelings for Harry. When Harry called it off and left for Las Vegas, Lindsay was hurt. So now she’s hooked up with Stavros Niarchos (another publicity hound ) to get even. Just keep those flashbulbs popping!

FINGER SNAPPER

When the employees at Whole Foods in West Hollywod see Faye Dunaway walk in the door they “scatter like cockroaches” one of them told us. Nobody wants to wait on her. Faye is VERY demanding -especially at the deli case. Here’s an example: When a server waiting on her was wrapping up an item he turned to another employee to tell him something and Faye ferociously snapped her FINGERS in the air scolding “I NEED YOUR FULL ATTENTION!” She asked her deli person for a pound of turkey breast. Sliced medium. After all the meat was cut she examined it and frowned “NO – that’s too THICK ” and wouldn’t buy it! THAT”S why the help runs for cover.

NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE CLONES?

NapoleonRamirez
Do we ever get tired of talking about Napolean Dynamite? Certainly not. It’s been two years since the movie came out and there are still things to be learned about the stars. After seeing the film, we were excited to meet Jon Heder (Napolean) and Efren Ramirez (Pedro) on separate occasions. We encountered Jon at an Oscar party at The Abbey in West Hollywood, of all places, and Jon introduced us to his wife and HIS IDENTICAL TWIN BROTHER Dan! His brother is not an actor but he is involved in production or animation. We were struck by how good looking Jon was without the 70’s drag, but also a tiny bit disappointed that he was so normal. Imagine our shock when not long after that we ran into Efren Ramirez and HIS IDENTICAL TWIN BROTHER Carlos at a theater opening! We were quite astonished that BOTH stars of the movie are twins! We searched everywhere for a photo of Jon and Dan to show you but couldn’t locate one so we made do with two Jons. After an extensive search we DID locate a picture of the Ramirez twins for your viewing pleasure. We are fascinated by twins.

HIGH PRICE OF BEAUTY

60_Ray-Liotta-3.jpg
If you plan to watch Tuesday night’s episode of Smith be sure to check out Ray Liotta’s face. We were told that Ray showed up for the first day of shooting with an alarmingly red, swollen, and peeling face! His looks horrifed coworkers – especially the makeup department we’re sure, and he explained that he had recently gotten some sort of face peel. He didn’t realize it would take SO long to heal. Producers were NOT happy – behind Ray’s back they were overheard snarking “We should just kill him off!” Lighting, closeups, wardrobe etc were adjusted to disguise Ray’s raw mug. Tune in to see if it all worked.

PIMP HIS RIDE

dwayne__the_rock__johnson5.jpg
We had a conversation with an actor who played a young inmate in the surprise hit Gridiron Gang and we asked how it was to work with The Rock. He said The Rock is a nice guy but his costar Xzibit turned out to be the life of the party. “He had a great sense of humor and was always cracking jokes.” Xzibit couldn’t shake his Pimp My Ride image during the movie shoot. In the film, the rapper turned actor plays the Rock’s assistant coach to a team in a juvenile detention facility. After enduring endless teasing comments about his stint as host on Pimp My Ride, Xzibit laid down the law. He made all the guys get down and do PUSHUPS every time someone referred to the car makeover show.
