WHEELER DEALER

For years Nicolas Cage has collected unique and vintage cars – including Jaguars, Bugattis, Corvettes, Cadillacs, Alfa Romeos, etc. He has bought and sold millions of dollars worth. He says he continually pares down his collection to the cars he drives the most. Recently he read about a 2002 Bentley Continental T limited edition black on black with only $9000 miles on it up for sale. In 2002 the car sold for almost $400,000. (Isn’t this the car Ben Affleck bought for J.Lo?) Anyway, Nic called the seller and introduced himself and asked “Would you bring the car to my house in Newport Beach?” The seller arrived at Nic’s gated home and was greeted by security who sent him up to the house. Nic was just getting out of the pool with his baby and he asked the guy “Have you eaten?” He invited the car owner to join him and his family for pizza freshly made by Cage’s chef. After lunch Nic admired the car and remarked “I like it but I have the think about it.” Ultimately Nic decided against the car but, the seller’s not complaining – he has memories of his pleasant afternoon at Nic’s.

CONSPIRACY THEORY

images518591_KatieHolmes_ChrisKlein.jpg
Ok, we weren’t going to bother spreading this story, but whenever we tell it to anyone they encourage us to do so. So here we go. Keep in mind this is a RUMOR, but it explains a lot. The story goes that when Katie Holmes split with her exboyfriend Chris Klein in March 2005, she may or may not have realized she was pregnant with his baby. She started dating Tom in April, 2005, and according to this tale, when Tom found out she was expecting, he not only didn’t MIND , but he insisted on taking credit for the pregnancy. They abruptly got engaged in June 2005. Since the baby was scheduled to be born too soon into their relationship, Tom and Katie faked the birth date. She actually gave birth months EARLIER than the announced birth. She wore padding for the last few months after the REAL birth, and made sure she was photographed. In case you don’t remember, Suri’s announced April 18 birth was oddly undocumented – there were no hospital records or specifics. Where WAS Suri born? Tom and Katie didn’t want their baby photographed because it would be apparent that Suri wasn’t newborn. After a few months it’s not so easy to recognize a baby’s exact age. Have you noticed that Suri has uniquely slanted eyes like Chris Klein? Keep in mind this is simply a rumor – form your own conclusions.

SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK

Why does 23 year old Brody Jenner still live at home? Not only because he CAN, but because his wealthy stepfather David Foster has perhaps the most magnificent and gigantic compound in Malibu, that’s why. Brody’s cute, but a bit of a slacker. Foster and Brody’s mom Linda Thompson have apparently separated, but they’re still living together – the house is so big they rarely bump into each other. David Foster is generous with his stepsons – he hosted a birthday party for Brody last weekend for 300 people. It was an all day pool party and barbecue with plenty of food and drinks. Michael Keaton and Mekhi Phiifer partied along with Kevin Federline and his entourage of buddies – but no Britney. Nicole Richie was Brody’s date, but we’re still not convinced this is a real romance.

SCUTTLEBUTT

epa_dave_navarro_160738a.jpg
No WONDER Dave Navarro became so indignant when we tastefully revealed the upcoming winner of Rockstar Supernova! He personally attacked this website and now we know why. It’s because everyone on the set of Supernova has been accusing each other of leaking the winner’s name! Lots of backstage drama while they try to sleuth out the culprit. Many accusing fingers have been pointing at Dave. We think Navarro might be feeling just a teensy bit GUILTY because he has a big mouth – we’ve heard he leaked the winner to a certain late night talk show host who has been blabbing the news all over town!

MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO

LINDSAY%20PARIS%20GLOVE
Coincidence? We think not. Lindsay Lohan wore these $800 Chanel fingerless gloves in Elle months before her arch-rival Paris Hilton flaunted them at the Video Awards. Who looked better in them?

SUMMER LOVE

This is just a sweet end-of-summer photo of Mischa Barton and Cisco Adler looking like two kids in Anywhere, USA. They’re pictured at the Malibu Fair and it looks like Cisco hit the target at several carnival games and won stuffed animals for his sweetheart.

CURB HER ENTHUSIASM

Who knew Wanda Sykes was such a party girl? The caustic Curb Your Enthusiasm actress turned up on Fire Island to celebrate Labor Day weekend with a gaggle of young pretty girls. As she disembarked the ferry, Wanda, clad in a white muscle shirt and khakis, hefted a case of wine to her shoulder and led the six twentysomething girls to the six bedroom house in Cherry Grove that she rented for the weekend. Music and loud laughter and squeals emanated from “party central” around the clock. The only hitch in the weekend occurred one night at The Ice Palace when Wanda and her gals caused a commotion. After a number of cocktails, feisty Wanda started yelling at several of her girls – accusing them of flirting and carrying on. The girls screamed back and many profanities were exchanged as Wanda got more and more wound up. Finally, her galpals managed to drag obstreperous Wanda out of the club.

Gere'd Up

odellGere
This is a face you could be watching five days a week but you rarely see her without full beauty queen makeup and every hair in place. Unposed pictures of this TV personality are a rare find. Here she is on a recent vacation in Hawaii – it’s Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell and as you can see, she’s quite a bombshell when she peels off those red carpet gowns. Married to Keith Zubchevich for just a year, Nancy recently confided “I used to flirt with guys, but now I don’t – unless it’s Richard Gere. Keith doesn’t mind – because he (Gere) is old and wrinkley.” We’re still trying to figure out if this was an insult or a compliment.

Seemingly Straight

Recently the LAPD conducted yet another dramatic sweep of public restrooms on the west side where gays congregate. Were THEY surprised when their raid nabbed a very famous actor in the wrong place at the wrong time! Some cops were dumbfounded because many of them are fans of this seemingly straight-arrow guy and he has always supported police work. The cops were almost as embarrassed as HE was. The actor’s PR people worked their magic with the police department and the incident was forgotten – until NEXT time.

DISAPPOINTED DANCERS

Lindsay%20at%20Jumbo%27s
Lindsay Lohan did NOT have “exotic dancing” on her mind when she visited Jumbo’s Clown Room in Hollywood recently. (That’s where Courtney Love got her start dancing topless.) The dancers were thrilled (they’re big fans) when Linday walked in with a group including Jackass daredevil Steve-O. But the saucy strippers were disappointed when, according to a club source, “Lindsay sat right upfront with her BACK to the stage and ignored the show! She was furiously text messaging on her sidekick (her boyfriend Harry Morton?) while everyone else had a good time. Her bodyguards gave the dancers a few half-hearted tips, but Lindsay didn’t give them a second look. The girls were crushed – they’d have loved some tips from Lindsay, but it didn’t happen.”
