COURTNEY STODDEN AND HER FAKE BODYGUARD

Photos via: Daily Mail

Courtney Stodden tries harder. You have to give the 17 year old publicity hungry child bride credit, she’s relentless when it comes to seeking fame and perhaps an acting job. Hollywood is full of celebrities for the Golden Globes this weekend, but Courtney managed to snag a photographer by dressing up in lucite stripper heels, tiny shorts, and frosted lipstick, to take her pink dyed dog for a walk. She was accompanied, not by her indulgent husband Doug, but some young guy trying to look like a bodyguard with an earpiece and a black suit.

John Gotti Jr John Gotti Sr John Travolta Money Movies

JOHN TRAVOLTA’S GOTTI MOVIE IS FALLING APART

Producers of that overpublicized “Gotti” movie must have promised John Travolta a humongous salary or else he would have dropped out of the troubled project by now. According to Showbiz 411, producer Marco Fiori (who happens to be an excon) failed to raise enough money to keep the January start date for production, so they found a new producer. So far there’s a lot of bad blood between the players and investors are questionable. The Gotti family has been actively involved in casting and promoting and publicizing their movie – they even courted Lindsay Lohan to costar, but THAT didn’t work out. Too many press conferences and not enough action. Somehow we don’t see this movie ever getting made.

Dentist Dr William Dorfman Lindsay Lohan Publicity Teeth

LINDSAY LOHAN GOT A GOOD DEAL ON HER TEETH CLEANING

Lindsay Lohan managed to turn a negative into a positive when she was caught with rotten looking stained teeth. She smokes and drinks a lot of coffee among other things, and has been neglecting her smile. After she saw the unflattering photo of her teeth circulating on the internet she made a deal with the most famous cosmetic dentist in Beverly hills, Dr William Dorfman. You’ve probably seen him on “Extreme Makeover” or numerous other self-improvement shows. We’re betting the handsome dentist gave Lindsay a sweet deal if she promised to give him some publicity for whitening her teeth. She tweeted this “after” photo of herself and a plug for the obliging dentist.

Abercrombie & Fitch Jersey Shore Pauly D Publicity

ABERCROMBIE & FITCH’S LAME PUBLICITY STUNT BACKFIRES

Business must be lousy at Abercrombie & Fitch if the company is trying to use Jersey Shore’s The Situation to get some free publicity. Someone at the company “leaked” the rumor that A&F offered to pay the Jersey Shore gang NOT to wear their label. The Situation, who often wears their sweats, wasn’t the least bit offended and swears he never heard a word from the company about any offer. Pauly D pointed out that A&F sold a GTL (gym, tanning, laundry) t- shirt inspired by the show a few seasons ago. Just a lame publicity stunt, but what’s shocking is how influential The Situation has become…

Kim Kardashian Publicity Weddings

WHY CAN’T KIM KARDASHIAN JUST ELOPE AND LEAVE US ALONE?

Is anybody else out there sick to death of hearing about Kim Kardashian’s wedding? Let’s boycott the obnoxious event! E! plans to devote FOUR HOURS of primetime TV to the event which is packed with free advertising. Cameras are shooting every iota of preparation for the Montecito ceremony -from cake tasting to dress fittings to rehearsals. Everyone involved in the event seems to be “a friend” and donating services in exchange for shoving more publicity down our throats. Every day Kris Jenner releases the latest news and photos about the upcoming event and gullible news sources release them. ENOUGH ALREADY! E! is expecting around five million viewers – let’s tune OUT and surprise them!

Book Dr Robert Rey Implants Plastic Surgery Publicity

DR ROBERT REY IS MORE THAN WILLING TO TALK ABOUT HIS BOOK

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Brazilian born plastic surgeon Dr Robert Rey, 49, is one of our favorite local characters – now he’s written a book, Body by Rey, on how to get a better body WITHOUT surgery. He gained fame on Dr 90210 doing implants, and also sold body shapers and skin care products on the Shopping Channel. He’s one of the few plastic surgeons who courts publicity and loves having his picture taken. (Above, he’s leaving BOA steakhouse.)

Diamonds Engagement Ring Kim Kardashian Kris Humphries Kris Jenner Publicity

DID KIM KARDASHIAN BUY HER OWN TWO MILLION DOLLAR ENGAGEMENT RING?

Kris Humphries has brought us back to the days when women like Elizabeth Taylor and Zsa Zsa Gabor judged their men by the size of the diamonds they received from them. Men liked the show off their wealth to impress acquisitive women who “sold out” to the highest bidder. Even Liz and Zsa Zsa would be shocked to learn that a woman who gained fame by selling her own x-rated sex video received an engagement ring worth two million dollars! (Of course we’re guessing it was BOUGHT for considerably less) But let’s analyze this. Two million is a year’s salary for Kris. Kim Kardashian earns twenty or thirty times as much as Kris. Hollywood insiders believe that Kim bought the ring HERSELF and arranged the proposal for maximum publicity (with a little help from her mom Kris Jenner.) She wants the world to know what she’s worth!

Kim Kardashian Publicity Reggie Bush Rihanna

RIHANNA AND REGGIE BUSH: PUBLICITY HOUNDS – OR THE REAL THING?

Rihanna has a new beau – but is it for real? According to MediaTakeOut, Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend footballer Reggie Bush and Rihanna were fixed up on a date by their respective PR teams. They found each other quite attractive and there was “definitely physical attraction.” They haven’t gone public with their assignations and that might be the very purpose of their relationship – it would bring both of them lots of positive publicity (which Reggie hasn’t had since he and Kim split.)

For Sale Prince Frederic von Anhalt Publicity Real Estate Zsa Zsa Gabor

HEY PRINCE FREDERIC, WHAT’S WITH THE TOILETS IN THE GARDEN?

Never one to pass up the opportunity to arrange a press conference, Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt gathered reporters and real estate agents to take a tour of his wife’s Bel Air house, which was just put on the market. The Prince managed to have the house tidied up in advance of the open house but he forgot about the garden – and the two discarded toilets sitting there.

Keeping up with the Kardashians Kim Kardashian Kris Humphries Kris Jenner New Couple Publicity

IMAGINE THAT. KIM KARDASHIAN’S BOYFRIEND KRIS HUMPHRIES HATES PUBLICITY!

Kim Kardashian’s romance with basketball star Kris Humphries is DOOMED because he is media-phobic—the exact opposite of the Kardashian family, who have the media to thank for their fortune. Photos of the couple are rare – any that exist feature Kris running away in a blur. He hates photos and he hates interviews. No kidding. According to CJ at the Star Tribune, Kim spent New Years Eve in Las Vegas and then flew to Minnesota to join Kris, who had a game on New Years day. Kim has been heard calling her 6’9” Taylor Lautner lookalike boyfriend by the nickname “Roman.” Kim’s only hope is that her publicity loving mom Kris Jenner can convert Kris Humphries to embrace the media. They’ll certainly want to feature him on their reality shows.
