Fame Joaquin Phoenix Shia LaBeouf

SHIA LABEOUF: ANOTHER “FAME” MELTDOWN? IS IT REALLY THAT AGONIZING BEING AN ACTOR?

Shia LaBeouf proved to himself that he still has plenty of fans with that “art” stunt last weekend. He commandeered a small art gallery on Beverly Blvd and received visitors with a bag on his head emphasizing his dislike of being “famous.” We drove by several times and there were always at least a hundred people in line around the block to see him, and a burly bodyguard at the door keeping order. We can’t help thinking he’s following the lead of Joaquin Phoenix who tried to convince us that he dropped out of the movie business to become a rapper with an aversion to bathing. He ditched the idea as soon as a good movie offer came along and we think Shia will too.

Fame Kim Kardashian Ryan Lochte

RYAN LOCHTE: KIM KARDASHIAN HAS THE LAST LAUGH

Where did we go wrong? Swimmer Ryan Lochte, winner of five gold Olympic medals, has admitted he dreams of becoming as successful as Kim >Kardashian! (Is Kris Jenner already dialing his number?) Lochte just got his own reality show on E! called “What Would Ryan Lochte Do?“ and he’s beside himself with excitement. Ryan is especially impressed with Kim because she “started from pretty much nothing and now everyone, everywhere, knows who she is.” Amazing. This hugely successful and disciplined athlete ENVIES Kim Kardashian! Viewers will tune into Ryan’s show just to see if he’s in his right mind.

Australia Fame Paris Hilton

DID FORMER IT-GIRL PARIS HILTON THINK HER FAME WOULD LAST FOREVER?

Recently we reminded you that Paris Hilton’s fame has slipped to the level that she had to bring her own photographer to events to take her picture. What we didn’t realize is how distraught she is about that fact. She was recently in Australia for a club opening with her DJ boyfriend Afrojack and she was interviewed on the Australian morning show Sunrise. The correspondent politely asked her “What will you do when you’re not famous any more?” She answered that she’d like to have children and live a normal life. But later she started fuming and obsessing over the not-so-probing question and asked the show not to televise that portion of the interview. They refused, and she retaliated by having Sunrise cameras banned from the red carpet event and ALL future interviews with her. Touchy, touchy…

This is a life-changing weekend for Jennifer Lawrence, 21, star of “The Hunger Games,“ which opens midnight Thursday. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie has already sold 15 million dollars worth of advance tickets and it might end up with one of the biggest debuts of all time – possible 130 to 140 million for the weekend! Jennifer Lawrence is hardly a household name – even though she was nominated for an Oscar for “Winter’s Bone” – because so few people saw the movie. After this weekend she’ll find out what it feels like to be “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart. No more alone time! Fans will be everywhere! Bodyguards are in her future… (Above, she promoted the movie on Letterman)

Bachelor Pad Fame Jake Pavelka Money Vienna Girardi

“OBVIOUSLY GAY” JAKE PAVELKA AND VIENNA GIRARDI MIGHT END UP BACK TOGETHER!

No matter how much they HATE EACH OTHER, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi both LOVE FAME, so they agreed to appear on “Bachelor Pad,” which debuted Monday. The two publicity hounds have openly despised each other since they broke their engagement after season 14 of The Bachelor. (After the split she called him “obviously gay.”) But they do share a love for money and fame, and both have come to realize that no one cares about them separately. As a romantic or antagonistic couple they are of interest. Bachelor Pad producers upped the ante by offering them a big bonus if they end up back together!
