As suspected it will be Kate (minus Jon) plus 8 when the Gosselin's dysfunctional family returns to television on TLC.

The new show will be titled "Kate plus 8" and Jon will still have a role, but he won't be a featured player. Jon will still have an executive role on the show and make recurring appearances.

According to the folks at TLC, the relaunch of the show will "include a deeper focus on Kate’s role in the family and her journey as a single mother building the next chapter in her life.”

"Jon's going to be involved in the show," said Eileen O'Neill, TLC's president and general manager, adding that he will be seen less often than before. TLC retains an exclusive arrangement with him, as well as the rest of the family, O'Neill said.

Howard out, Cheadle in "Iron Man 2"

doncheatlein.jpg

The Hollywood Reporter has news of some shake-ups in the casting of "Iron Man 2." Evidently Terence Howard is out, and Don Cheatle is in!

Howard evidently wanted to much money to come back for the sequel in his role as sidekick character Jim Rhodes. The character of Rhodes will evidently have more face time in this flick, so Howard naturally wanted more money.

With Cheatle in as the replacement, this allows Marvel to "take the role in another direction."

Jon Favreau is returning as director, and Downey is expected back as billionaire industrialist Stark/Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow also is likely to return as Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts. "Iron Man 2" is scheduled for release on May 7, 2010.

George Clooney and Renee Zellweger on the cover of W magazine

 

The stars of Leatherheads Renee Zellweger and George Clooney are on the Decemeber 2007 cover of W magazine.

Inside, George and Renee joke like high school buddies.  Zellweger joked that she and Clooney had been married for 28 years.

“Twenty-seven,” George chimed in. “We lived together for the first year.”

Here's a sneak peak of what Clooney and Zellweger reveal inside W:

GEORGE CLOONEY

On backing Barack Obama in the next presidential election:
“I spoke to him two days ago for a half hour. I think that he’s in that sort of doldrums, that midelection run, where you’re still trying to define what it is that you want to be.”

On hookers:
“I didn’t know what hookers were. We pulled up at the stoplight, and all of these girls came over, and they were like, ‘Hey, do you want to party?’ I looked at Miguel (his cousin) and I said, ‘Chicks love me, man! I’m on fire here!’”

On borrowing shots from directors he admires:
“I sent apology letters to Mike Nichols and Sidney Lumet after Confessions because I just directly stole shots. But then I told Joel and Ethan that I’ve stolen shots from them, and they’re like, ‘Yeah, we stole that shot from Capra.’”

On Zellweger's role in the upcoming film 'Leatherheads':
“In movies, so often the guy gets to be the one with all the answers. In this one, she’s the smart one. Which was incredible acting on her part.”

On encouraging Gawker readers to post fake sightings of him:
“They had 6,000 locations for me in the first day.”

RENÉE ZELLWEGER

On her fear of letting Clooney down in 'Leatherheads':
"He doesn’t even know how important his opinion has been to me over the years. I don’t want to disappoint him.”

On Clooney's direction in 'Leatherheads':
“I just get so proud that my head pops off. George is such a confident director, and he has no idea. And he’s a nice person. It gets boring hearing that, but it’s true. Every once in a while you get the real good guy. You’ve got your Jimmy Stewart. You’ve got your Paul Newman. Now you’ve got your George Clooney.”

On Gawker encouraging readers to post stars' precise whereabouts:
“Oh, I log on every day to see where George is. Oh my God, get your things! He’s at Barneys!...The problem with that is with his schedule these days, the sightings were all true. He was in all 6,000 places that morning—before lunch.”

Citizen Kane ranks on top at AFI

 

"Citizen Kane" ranks number one on the American Film Institute Top 100 films list.  Unfortunately some of the greats like "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and "Jawbreaker" didn't make the list, I must admit it's pretty impressive to say the least.

Jericho renewed by the fans

CBS announced on Wednesday that they will bring back a show that the network had previously decided to cancel thanks to the fans.

CBS entertainment president, Nina Tassler, issued a letter to fans who protested the canceling of Jericho giving them the credit for show's return. 

"Over the past weeks, you have put forth an impressive and unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard."

Word slipped out on Tuesday that Jericho might return mid-season, but the network had to wait to make an official announcement so they could renegotiate contracts with cast members and find a new production facility for the show.

Fans flooded CBS execs with various brands of nuts to protest Jericho's cancellation.  I guess they aren't as 'nuts' as I thought they were!

TLC and E! to debut new shows online

Two television networks are taking some of their new shows straight to broadband.  TLC and E! are both introducing new programs made especially for the web.

"Makeover Train," set to debut June 4 at TLC.com, is TLC's first original direct-to-broadband series. The 10-webisode show follows the adventures of two expert stylists who ride the Boston subway and choose an unsuspecting commuter for a full fashion makeover.

E! is going for the comedic route introducing four new funnies for their website.

E! Online announced four new original comedy series to roll out separately on its broadband channel the Vine and the wireless platform. They include the animated series "Bad Kitty," the tongue-in-cheek "A Song by Julia," the parody "The Thin Crowd" and the sketch comedy "Varsity Interpretative Dance Squad."

If this keeps up, future generations won't even need televisions!  Oh, I can't wait!

ABC announces end to 'Lost'

If you're dying to know what the hell is really happening on the 'Lost' island, ABC is ready to tell you... that you'll find out the whole story within the next 3 years.

Hoping to milk the show for all its worth, ABC announced that 'Lost' will run for 48 more episodes over three seasons. Each season will consist of 16 episodes that will air uninterrupted.

"Due to the unique nature of 'Lost,' we knew it would require an end date to keep the integrity and strength of the show consistent throughout and to give the audience the payoff they deserve," ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson said.

"Lost" executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who have been vocal about setting up an end-date for the show, will both stay on for the remainder of the run.  Each have inked their won eight-figure deal.

Lindelof said having the end point in sight was "incredibly liberating. Like we've been running a marathon and we actually know where the finish line is for the first time."

While the show's ratings have fallen this season, 'Lost' is averaging 15.1 million viewers to date.  It is also the most recorded show on TV, gaining 18% more viewers through DVR viewing.

Hang in there 2010 is not that far away!

More Spider-Man movies on the way

Even though it seems like the stars of the Spider-Man movie series are bored with our webbed friend, Sony Pictures plans to press forward no matter what. 

Sony Pictures chief executive Michael Lynton told the BBC: "Everybody has every intention of making a fourth, a fifth and a sixth and on and on."

After Spider-Man 3 smashed box office records this weekend, how could anyone say no to future installments.  The big question is... will Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst be back as well?

Before this amazing open, both Maguire and Dunst said that they did not intend to return for future installments of the comic book movie.  Sony was quick to start thinking of new stars even mentioning Mandy Moore as Dunst replacement.  Since then, we have learned that Kireten says she will be back for part 4 if her co-stars agree to return as well.

Money talks.

Girlmore Girls say goodbye on May 15

WB's hit show, Gilmore Girls, is coming to an end after 7 years on the air.

Sources said Thursday that an offer had been put on the table for the show's two stars asking Lauren Graham and her TV daughter Alexis Bledel to return for an eighth season, but the parties involved could not reach an agreement.  That means bye-bye Gilmore Girls.

"This series helped define a network and created a fantastic, storybook world featuring some of television's most memorable, lovable characters," said a joint statement from the CW and the show's producer, Warner Bros. Television.

The show will air its series finale on May 15.  A statement from CW and Warner Bros. Television said that it is "a truly sad moment for everyone" and promises to "give this series the send-off it deserves."

'Sopranos' star, Pastore, quits 'Dancing...'

Vincent Pastore is hanging up his dancing shoes before they have even hit the floor.  The 'Sopranos' hit man was announced as a member of the star-studded line-up, but now he's out.

He released this statement...

"I didn't realize just how physically demanding it would be for me. Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity."

He's a pussy!  (sorry, I had to)

No word yet on who will replace him.

Bobby Brown arrested again

Bobby Brown was arrested again!  Brown was picked up while in town to watch his daughter in a cheerleading competition. 

Brown was picked up at Attleboro High School on Sunday night on a warrant for failing to appear at a child support hearing in October.

The former singer was scheduled to appear Monday afternoon in Norfolk Probate and Family Court. 

He owes some money to Kim Ward, the mother of two of his children.

Anna Nicole Smith drama moves to the Bahamas (Video included!)

All parties involved in the drama that Anna Nicole Smith left behind after dying a little over two weeks ago are preparing to head to the Bahamas. 

Her estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, is already there.  She's still fighting for the right to bury Smith in her homeland of Texas, and now she wants custody of 5-month-old Dannielynn.  The baby is expected to inherit billions from Anna Nicole's estate.  Virgie has held her ground despite massive critism and a video tape where Anna Nicole seemed to speak from the grave expressing her hate for her estranged mother.

Smith's most recent companion, Howard K. Stern, is also already back in the Bahamas. He is fighting for custody of Dannielynn as well and resisting a paternity test.  He is also battling for his home.  He has been staying in house that Anna Nicole Smith claimed to be a gift from her ex-lover, Ben Thompson.  Now Thompson and his son-in-law want Stern out immediately after seeing a video of Anna Nicole 8-months pregant and fucked up on methadone (watch below).

Larry Birkhead is also expected to reach the Bahamas within the next 24-hours where he too will also fight for the custody of Dannielynn.  Birkhead seems very confident that he is the baby's father and is doing all he can to land a paternity test ASAP.

Court precedings begin on Monday in the Bahamas and resume in Florida.

Can't get enough of the Anna Nicole Smith saga?  Take a look at the rest of coverage while you're here!

Anna Nicole Smith's estranged mother is back in the Bahamas!

While the coroners in Florida were preparing Anna Nicole Smith's body to return it to the Bahamas for burial next to her son, Daniel; her estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, was boarding a plane to head to Nassau herself.  Court adjourned until Monday morning, leaving Anna's latest companion Howard K. Stern, ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead and Arthur to bury her remains and to evidently tie up some loose ends. 

Immediately after arriving, Arthur went to see her Bahamian attorney who is representing her in the custody battle over Anna Nicole's 5-month-old beneficiary, Dannielynn.

The Miami Herald is reporting that Arthur is staying in a posh hotel in comparison to the cheaper hotel where she stayed during her last visit insinuating that Arthur might be making a few bucks off of the media freenzy surrounding her daughter's death.

Judge Seidlin: reality TV hopeful

What's this? A star in the midst? Judge Judy  Judge Larry Seidlin, the clown presiding over Anna Nicole Smith's circus/custody/burial/babydaddy court case may be headed STRAIGHT for his 14:59 minutes of fame.

The 56 yr-old former cab driver has perfected his TV personna and during the court preceedings has been referring to the many lawyers based on their state of residence rather than by name.  He has also quoted such cliche sayings as, "In the old days, I'd be bangin' some heads together!"  He even cried when he gave his verdict!

Ugh, could someone show this guy his own playback? He's Oh soOo cheesy.

Howard K Stern's lawyer, Krista Barth, didn't seem to enjoy Judge Seidlin's antics whatsoever saying she "objected to everything...under the sun."  Seidlin's courtroom has been referred to as "circus-like" and his quotes to the crowd of spectators and TV cameras have made the solemn case feel like a like an episode of something worthy of a traffic court.

Bottom line: He was more impressive driving a yellow cab with offensively strong body odor. 

Fight over Anna Nicole Smith's baby goes on

Florida Circuit Judge Lawrence Korda doesn't seem to want to have to get involved in the on-going paternity battle over Anna Nicole Smith's infant daughter, Dannielynn.

"I'm trying to figure out what jurisdiction there could possibly be here. ... I'm not even sure California's got jurisdiction," Korda said.

Even though Howard K. Stern is listed as the father of the 5-month-old baby, Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead is doing everything he can to get his baby.

He and his attorney called today's hearing, and they seem to have the unwaivering support of Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur.

Dannielynn is now being cared for by a nanny at Smith's home in the Bahamas.  Meanwhile Anna Nicole's body is being prepared to be shipped there to be buried beside her son, Daniel.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!  It has been an overly exciting week for us here at GaySocialites.com.  Over the past two days, our hits have gone up by almost 300%!  We must thank you for coming by and beg you to check out our advertisers scattered all over the page or to buy an ad for your business!

In the news this week, I must say I am SO relieved that Anna Nicole Smith will finally be laid to rest.  Even though I lost hope for her before she died, the blonde bomb shell will always hold a special place in my heart.  Now, I just hope they can figure out who Dannielynn's father is so she can get her life started.  I really hope it isn't this complicated when I die!  Just burn me at the stake and scatter my ashes, I don't care!

Britney Spears is safe and sound back in rehab after a week long bad publicity tour.  It is pretty bad when Kevin Federline has to step in as the voice of reason to calm her down.  I don't know why he would even try.  I wouldn't support someone who stands in front of my house throwing lawn furniture at photographers.  Maybe K-Fed is a better man than we have given him credit for!

New Jersey gays started getting unioned, and their Supreme Court is standing up against gay bullying.  This might make Jersey the gayest state in the land for now.  We hear that Illinois wants to jump on the ban wagon though by adding gay marriage to their state while Rhode Island is at least considering recognizing gay marriages from Massachusetts.  Meanwhile one of fellow gay bloggers, Perez Hilton, seems to be looking at the beginning of the end after being slapped with his second hefty lawsuit for stealing pictures. 

It is truly the year of the gay! 

I hope you all have a great weekend.  Later today, we'll have a special club guide as many New Yorkers will start to see a transition in the gay "scene" there.

Britney Spears fights back

Britney Spears has truly lost it!  Now she's fighting back at the paparazzi.

Just hours before heading back to rehab for a third time on Thursday, Brit-Brit evidently wanted to say good-bye to the babies who just happened to have been staying with her estranged hubby, Kevin Federline.

When Brit arrived at K-Fed's place, she rang the bell three times to no avail.  Either daddy and the kids went out for some vodka and cigarettes or they were inside hiding from the "Toxic" singer. 

Spears got so mad that she attacked the paparazzi.  X-17online caught it all on camera.  She picked up a patio umbrella and beat it against one of the photographer's cars, not to mention the psycho look in her eyes while doing it.

Maybe she'll stay safe in rehab while making an attempt to rebuild herself.

The battle for Dannielynn

Now that wacky Judge Seidlen has ruled to give custody of Anna Nicole Smith's body to her 5-month old daughter, we are left wondering who will get custody of little Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern.  That's the expected topic of debate in Friday's court room circus in Florida.

Lawyers for Smith's ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, filed a motion in a Florida family court asking for an emergency hearing to be held Friday morning to request that a DNA sample be taken from Dannielynn.

Birkhead reached an agreement with Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, and Smith's most recent companion, Howard K. Stern, to bury her in the Bahamas near her son, Daniel on Thursday.

Today's court hearings are expected to go back to insanity as a whole list of men begin to explain how they could possibly be Dannielynn's father. 

Imagine the stories this kid will have to tell on the playground!

Ellen Degeneres is the Oscar buzz

I have mentioned over and over that 2007 is the year of the gay!  This Sunday one of our own, Ellen Degeneres, will host the Oscars.  It looks like this year's Oscar buzz is the host!

What to expect:  We all know Ellen as the rising star of daytime TV with her zany little remarks and geeky dancing style, so we can't expect anything serious.  Critics expect that Ellen will bring a much needed soft side to the prestigious awards show.

"It's the same thing I do when I do my show," DeGeneres, told TV Guide magazine. "It's really just setting that tone, and for me, being funny without being condescending or mean-spirited."

Unlike her predecessors, John Stewart and Chris Rock, Ellen isn't expected to crack on the guests, presenters and nominees much. 

She is also known for her one liners that make no sense and will likely keep the show flowing.

Ellen DeGeneres, who made broadcast history 10 years ago as the first openly gay lead character on U.S. prime-time television, is only the second woman to be solo host of the Academy Awards following Whoopie Goldberg's lead.

 

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie are baby shopping!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have filed paperwork to adopt a boy from Vietnam. 

"If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young," Jolie said.

It looks like she was serious!  The two have gotten off to a good start with three already at home; Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 9 months.

US Weekly is reporting that the couple have filed paperwork to adopt a boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, which they visited in November.

The pair have long been vocal about their desire to raise more international children.  Their son Maddox was born in Cambodia and daughter Zahara was born in Ethiopia.

Judge suggests Anna Nicole Smith to be buried in Bahamas

After six days of fighting, Broward Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin said he wanted Anna Nicole Smith buried next to her son, Daniel, in the Bahamas.  Avoiding a final decision, Seidlin granted the rights of Smith's remains to her infant daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern.

He didn't make it as clean cut as Howard K. Stern may have wanted.  The judge instructed Richard Milstein, a lawyer he appointed to represent the baby, to seek a consensus between Stern, Smith's mother Virgie Arthur (who wanted her buried in her home state of Texas) and Larry Birkhead (a former boyfriend who claims to be the father of Dannielynn.)

TMZ.com is reporting that Judge Seidlen used this case as a way to build a tape for his own reality TV hopes.

Perez Hilton sued over topless Jennifer Aniston photo

Celebrity blogger (and one of the world's most hated men), Perez Hilton, can't seem to keep his hands out of the cookie jar off other people's pictures.  Yet again, the self made blogger is under fire for swiping a picture and posting it on his website.

Universal studios filed suit against the celebrity-gossip blogger Tuesday for copyright infringement, accusing Hilton of posting a stolen topless picture of Jennifer Aniston that was shot and then stolen either during production or post-production of 2006's The Break-Up.

Universal City Studios Productions claims that the shot posted on the blog was "misappropriated and illegally copied," according to court documents, and that Hilton "illegally obtained a copy of all or part of the stolen footage."

Hilton's attorney says he removed the site out of "good faith" when he received notice of the suit.

Celebrity photo agency X17 has filed a $7.5 million copyright suit against Hilton, accusing him of using its images without permission.

Hilton is claiming "freedom of speech" and "freedom of press."  Has he ever heard of "thou shalt not steal?"

Britney Spears back in rehab, third time's a charm

Maybe the third time will actually be a charm for 'Toxic' singer, Britney Spears, as she enters rehab again.

TMZ.com is reporting that Britney Spears is once again back in rehab for a third time in less than one week.

“Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time," said her manager Larry Rudolph.

As a result, the emergency hearing requested by Kevin Federline for custody of the kids is evidently cancelled.

The gossip gods are also reporting that K-Fed has laid down the law saying that if Spears leaves this time, he is going for custody!

Who ever thought that Kevin Federline could be the voice of reason?  Popozao!

Birkhead paints Anna Nicole Smith as druggie

It looks like someone (other than her estranged mother) isn't afraid to finally admit that Anna Nicole Smith had a drug problem... enter Larry Birkhead

Birkhead, Anna Nicole's ex-boyfriend and the man most likely to be the father of her orphaned little girl, Dannielynn, took the stand in Florida on Thursday morning saying that Anna Nicole Smith took drugs while she was pregnant with the newborn baby.

Birkhead said their relationship stretched over two years and included a miscarriage. He also testified that their relationship was marred by Smith's use of drugs before and during her pregnancy with Dannielynn.

During the testimony, Birkhead claimed, a pregnant Smith got angry with him over a misunderstanding and asked him to leave the hospital room where "she was trying to get off medications."  Then, he claims, that two days later Smith called him to ask where he was, and did not remember telling him to leave.

While Birkhead is testifying as a witness for Virgie Arthur, Smith's estranged mother, he has mentioned at times that she wanted to be buried in California near her idol, Marilyn Monroe.

'Dancing With the Stars' line-up announced

ABC's Dancing With the Stars starts on March 19th, so it's about time we got to see the cast.

Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, boxer Laila Ali, basketball star Clyde Drexler, 'N Sync member Joey Fatone, Miss USA 2004 Shandi Finnessey, TV host Leeza Gibbons, Paul McCartney's estranged wife Heather Mills, Olympic athlete Apolo Anton Ohno, Sopranos actor Vincent Pastore, model Paulia Porizkova and Beverly Hills 90210 actor Ian Ziering.

I can't believe the rumors are true that Heather Mills is doing this show!! What is the world coming to?!

'Dancing With the Stars' will air on Monday and Tuesday nights to avoid competing with American Idol.

Lily Allen launches a fashion line

Lily Allen, our featured artist on this week's Audiogasm, plans to launch a fashion line for "high street" wear to be sold in stores across the world.  The UK pop tart is calling her line "Lily Loves," and it will debut in over 300 stores in the UK, France, Dubai and Belgium.

The clothing line will carry six dresses, two pairs of shoes and assorted accessories, the chain announced Wednesday.

Her line is meant to go up against "M By Madonna", a clothing line co-created by the singer to reflect her own wardrobe and set to be the headliner shortly at H&M.

"Lily Loves" launches on May 9.  I am excited to see it.  She has a cute style, but I don't think she'll compete with Madge at H&M... especially in the US.

Will the body of Daniel Wayne Smith be moved?

Anna Nicole Smith waited for a while to bury her late son, Daniel Wayne Smith.  If you thought he might finally be resting in peace, you may be wrong. 

Smith's estranged mother says she wants to dig his body up and relocate it to Texas, if she is granted permission to bury Anna Nicole there.

The judge plans to rule by Friday.

Britney checks out of rehab AGAIN

Looks like even rehab can't keep this bald party girl down!  Britney Spears has checked herself out of rehab again

And according to K-Fed's bff... her estranged hubby and her family are all stepping in to help out.

"He has put his career on hold right now to focus on his kids and his family — to try and get Britney better," the pal said. "The girl has gone bonkers and everyone is shocked the kids were still in her care. But her mom, Kevin and her dad are all in L.A. right now trying to take care of her."

Britney Spears lands in rehab again

Here's the official statement from her peeps:

"Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."

Most of us (whether we care or not) are still left wondering why she went wacky and cut off all of her hair.  OK! Magazine is reporting that it is because K-Fed threatened to get a few strands of hair to find out what she is on...

"They had a huge argument," accoriding to OK!. "Kevin threatened Britney that he was going to have people test her hair to find out exactly what she's been up to. She was so scared. That was what made her have her head shaved."

I find that highly unlikely considering she left all of the hair there... so I'm still wondering...

Shithead Spears: why do we still care?

To be completely f&@*ing honest, Britney Spears has had nothing but love and support from her friends and fans throughout her entire career. Now that she has shit all over her reputation, both as a mother and an entertainer why does everyone still feel for her?!?!

Has she no dignity, if she had ANY desire in this critical time of divorce and custody battles to prove herself as a stable parent figure, why would she be shaving her head and wearing blue wigs in hotels looking like who did her and ran?

Does she even want custody because... WTF?! Also, where is Kevin through all of this? I, for one, will take barefoot and pregnant Brit over skinhead and perpetually high Brit. Am I alone in this thinking, if so people, get mad...GET MAD!!

Anna Nicole's will released

Anna Nicole Smith's will has hit the web!  It's very unprofessional and looks very shady.  Click here to see the full document.

It basically looks like it may have been written on a napkin in a bar while on a crazy methadone trip.  Maybe Howard K. Stern made it a few nights ago?  It wasn't ever registered with the courts. 

Click here if you would like to take a look at the entire will. 

Lawyers wont let judge determine Dannielynn's paternity

"If we knew who (Dannielynn's) natural father was, in this limited area, it would help the court. It would help me tremendously," said Judge Seidlin in a Florida court Tuesday morning.  "If there is no objection by the parties here today," Seidlin said, "I'm going to assume jurisdiction of the paternity matters."

Seidlin is actually the judge who is supposed to be deciding who will get Ann Nicole Smith's remains, and he obviously feels like the baby's father has some sort of right.  However, the lawyers won't have it.

"They don't want to do it. The moment is not right," he said. "We're going to proceed in this trial without that bit of evidence coming in."

This is definitely going to be really long and really drawn out.  It will likely be a while before Anna Nicole Smith rests in peace.

Hard Hitting News 103

Today's rundown:

  • Britney has gone bald and crazy!
  • Anna Nicole's body is embalmed.
  • Bahama's Immigration Minister has resigned due to a controversy surround Smith's residency in his country
  • New Jersey gays are getting 'unioned.'  Is that enough?

Bahama's Immigration Minister resigns over Anna Nicole scandal

The man who granted Anna Nicole Smith residency has resigned from his position as Bahamas Immigration Minister due to the recent controversy surrounding his relationship with the late model. 

Photos of Shane Gibson and Anna Nicole laying in bed together surfaced after her death. Even though they were both fully clothed, the pictures were shady because Gibson had fast-tracked her application for permanent residency on the island chain.

He released this statement:

"I want to apologise to all persons who may, in any way, may have been offended by anything that I have said, done, or perceived to have said or done,'' Gibson said on state TV, declaring that he was resigning.

Howard K. Stern told Entertainment Tonight that these were pictures of Gibson visiting Anna Nicole Smith while she was in the hospital aftering giving birth to her daughter, Dannielynn.

Could her life have been more sketchy?

Tim Hardaway changes mind, doesn't hate gay people

We told you last week that basketball has-been Tim Hardaway said he "hated gay people" and that "it (homosexuality) shouldn't be in the world or in the United States." 

Great news!  We can stay, because Tim has changed his mind.

"I don't hate gay people," Hardaway said. "I'm a good-hearted person. I interact with people all the time. ... I respect people. For me to say 'hate' was a bad word, and I didn't mean to use it."

Thanks, Tim, for validating homosexuality.  You're officially a part of the movement.  I hear Isaiah Washington found a rehab for homophobes, maybe you should check it out.

I HEARD... Britney Spears' shaved her own head!

Britney Spears may be following in the steps of the late Anna Nicole Smith.  I don't think she's doing methadone, but I do think she is acting like an unfit mother.  I also think if she isn't careful she may end up in the ground beside Smith.

I HEARD the formEr Miz FEdErlinE doEs, howEvEr, havE hEr party drug of choicE though. 

According to TMZ, she landed in LA and went to a salon asking them to shave her head.  When the stylist refused, Brit-Brit grabbed the clippers and did it herself.  After going all Gi-Jane at the salon, the mother of two rushed off to a tatoo parlor where KABC caught a bald Brit getting some ink done.

As a teen this would have been cute, as an adult and mother its pathetic.  Someone needs to intervene QUICKLY!

Britney Spears goes bald!

It seems that Britney Spears has gone completely crazy!  Welcome to my world Brit-Brit (but at least I still have hair).

Dog the Bounty Hunter faces charges in Mexico

It looks like Duane Chapman aka Dog the Bounty Hunter will face extradition for bounty hunting in Mexico.  A judge ruled today that should not be granted an injunction as he broke the law by people hunting in Mexico.

I'm in the Dog's corner.  The world gets a few good people, and the bad ones want to put them in jail.

This is a disgrace!

Anna Nicole Smith dressed for death

We have all heard of dressing for success, but have you ever heard of dressing for death?

Evidently, Anna Nicole Smith prepared herself for death.  According to one of the many lawyers battling for her dead body and her billion dollar baby, this Playboy model wanted to make sure she looked good at her own funeral so she had already picked out and tried on her last outfit.

As I look back at the series of events, I start to wonder if Anna Nicole was preparing for this.  I don't necessarily think she killed herself intentionally, but she may have known this was coming if TMZ is correct in saying that Anna Nicole was prescribed methadone. 

We already know that methadone was one of the causes for death listed on Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel's, death certificate, so if Smith (even under aliases) received methadone perscriptions then it is likely that Daniel got his methadone from his mother.  This could explain why Anna was so distraught after his death. 

It may also explain why she could have been preparing for her own funeral.  Why wouldn't she just stop taking methadone?  Addicts are addicts, and without sound mind and body - you need someone to step in and say "enough is enough." 

Maybe Howard K. Stern didn't kill Anna Nicole or Daniel, but it definitely seems like he could have stopped it.  Maybe he is hooked on methadone as well.

Kenny Chesney comes out as a straight man!

I think we all pretty much assumed that the "fraud" behind Kenny Chesney and Renee Zellweger's in-and-out marriage and rapid separation was because Kenny is not a friend of Renee but infact a friend of Dorothy.

Kenny Chesney tells CBS's 60 Minutes that it isn't true.  As a matter of fact, he's coming - as a straight American.  Kenny swears he isn't on our team, and he wants to move out of the gay shadows by admitting to the world that he's a straight man.

"It's not true.  Period.  Maybe I should have come out and said, 'No, I'm not (gay),' but I didn't want to draw more attention to it.... I didn't have to prove to anybody that I wasn't (gay).  I didn't feel like I really did," he said.

Despite having to come out and admit he is straight.  Kenny says he has no regrets with marrying Renee.  I wonder if Renee feels the same way?

Nanny says Anna Nicole kept baby DannyLynn thin and 'sexy'

Anna Nicole Smith's former nanny has come forth with a signed statement saying that the model kept her new-born baby, DannyLynn, thin and 'sexy.'  The nanny says that Anna Nicole would deprive the baby of food out of fear that she might get fat.

It makes you wonder if Anna Nicole had lost her life to drugs long before she died.

CA judge says to bury Anna Nicole Smith

The Associated Press is reporting that a California judge has ruled to release the body of Anna Nicole Smith, but he did not say who should get her remains.

Howard K. Stern says he wants to bury Anna Nicole in the Bahamas with her son Daniel, and Anna Nicole's estranged mother (Virgie Hogan Arthur) wants the remains as well (since she is her only adult living relative).

Earlier today a judge in Florida upheld an earlier decision to keep her dead body for a February 20th paternity hearing in which photographer Larry Birkhead plans to prove that he is the father of Anna Nicole sole heir, baby DannyLynne.

The coroner says that the courts need to make their mind up soon, because Anna Nicole's body has already started to decay. 

This is starting to get nasty (literally).

Bobby Trendy takes the Anna Nicole Spotlight

Anna Nicole Smith made 'nobody' interior designer Bobby Trendy a D-lister, now he's cashing in on his portion of the spotlight from Smith's passing.  Trendy tells Life & Style's Web site that she met with Smith in Hollywood, Fla., two days before her death.

"She seemed like her old self, making silly jokes and laughing," Trendy said. "I'm so shocked I can't even tell you. She was in a good mood -- she looked fine, she seemed fine."

Something drastic must have changed since the "Anna Nicole Smith Show" wrapped, because last I heard the two hated each other.  Either that or Bobby is taking one last ride on the Anna Nicole wave.

Methadone found in Anna Nicole's fridgerator

Throughout the weekend, the locks on Anna Nicole Smith's compound in the Bahamas have changed multiple times.  Now, we're finding out why Anna Nicole and Howard K. Stern have tried so hard to stay away from everyone else. 

Today, TMZ.com is confirming what most of us suspected.  There were drugs found in the house, and the photos below were published on TMZ's website claiming to be pictures of methadone found in Anna Nicole's personal refridgerator in her bedroom.

 

 

It's ironic that she had Slim Fast in the fridge since she was the poster girl for TrimSpa, but there were evidently boxes of TrimSpa in the room as well.

It is disturbing to find methadone in her possession since it is what killed her son Daniel Smith late last year. Reports also show that the methadone was prescribed in Howard K. Stern's name.  Others are now coming forward to say that Stern was seen removing pills from Daniel Smith's pocket just moments after his death.

This sad story just keeps getting worse.

Anna Nicole's Musical Endeavors Remembered

In 1997 Anna Nicole Smith recorded a cover version of "My Heart Belongs To Daddy," originally made famous by Marilyn Monroe. The song was released in France and a video featuring Smith was made to promote it.  In memory of the buxom blonde, we publish the video below.

Is Anna Nicole's baby daddy dead too?

I must say today I feel more relieved that Anna Nicole Smith is probably happier dead than alive.  While she was most recently heard mourning the loss of her son, Daniel, she is most famous for publicly mourning the loss of her late husband, J. Howard Marshall.  We all know Anna Nicole spent most of her adult life fighting for the money she deserved following her billionare husband's death.

 

 

This may sound cold; but today the Daily News is reporting that the father of Anna Nicole's baby, Danielynn, may be her late husband J. Howard Marshall.  Even though Marshall has been dead for over a decade; Smith's half-sister, Donna Hogan, says that Danielynn is the product of Marshall's frozen and preserved sperm. 

It seems like Smith was estranged from her family for a reason, but I still believe she should have been more careful about who she let into her circle!

I HEARD... the following new details on Anna Nicole Smith's Death

While we wait on the autopsy report new information is flooding in regarding the mysterious death of Anna Nicole Smith.

Today, I HEARD the following, so far:

  • 8 bags of evidence were removed from her hotel room in Florida
  • Illegal drugs were found in the room
  • Prescription drugs were found in the room
  • Anna Nicole had evidently taken a "children's sedative"
  • She fell and hit her head yesterday, but seemed fine
  • A member of her personal staff found her in the room covered by a blanket having chocked on what appeared to be her own vomit

I also HEARD that autopsy reports could take weeks to actually make it to the media unless she died of natural causes.

Larry Birkhead and his attorney plan to take samples from Smith's body today to finalize a paternity test for her baby, Danielynn.  Birkhead says if he is the father he plans to take the baby back to his California home immediately.

February 8, 2007

Who was with Anna Nicole at time of death?

Maybe my conspiracy theories weren't wrong. 

Star Magazine is reporting that Hotel security guards, Anna Nicole's bodyguard, and Howard K. Stern were all on the scene when paramedics found Anna Nicole "unconscious and unresponsive."

Star also reports:

  • Seminole Rescue attempted to revive Smith using CPR
  • They incubated Smith's body in an attempt to revive her
  • Standard medications were also used in an attempt to try and revive her as well

Hugh Hefner releases statement on Anna Nicole Smith death

"I am very saddened to learn about Anna Nicole's passing. She was a dear friend who meant a great deal to the Playboy family and to me personally. My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and loved ones during this difficult time," said Hugh Hefner.

Anna Nicole Smith Update

It's all over the news now: Anna Nicole Smith is dead. At this time all we are being told is that she collapsed suddenly in her hotel room in Florida and was rushed to the hospital. As of yet, no one has any concrete knowledge of what caused her death exactly.

The forensic toxicologist who performed the autopsy on her son, Dr. Cyril Wecht, says that there could be any number of reasons that she died (including drugs). We won't know for sure (and who knows if we'll know the REAL story) until the toxicology results come in after a few days.

Stay tuned for more information as we recieve it.

Anna Nicole Smith Dead

Anna Nicole Smith pronounced dead on Thursday in Florida.  My sources tell me, she died of an overdose.  More to come.

Kylie Minogue's first appearance since the split

Even though the wounds from her recent public break-up with long-time lover, Olivier Martinez, the lovely Kylie Minogue made an appearance at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London to open a exhibit spotlighting her career.

"I have struggled all day to think of what to say tonight. There is so much to say and so little time. There are so many friends here tonight so I thank you all," Kylie said last night.

I'm still trying to get my hands on some pics, but I hear she looked amazing wearing a $2.5 million Dolce and Gabbana gown.

Kylie Minogue is single again!

Kylie Minogue and Olivier Martinez have announced their split.  This means the internation pop princess is on the market again.  Kylie and Olivier released this joint statement today:

"Olivier Martinez and Kylie Minogue have officially confirmed that they are no longer a couple. They have made it clear that the decision to go their separate ways was mutual and amicable. The media's false accusations of disloyalty have saddened them both. The two remain very close friends."

More reasons to hate Paris Hilton

If you don't already hate Paris Hilton, then this will probably push you over the edge.  In the video below Paris Hilton not only drops a "faggot" bomb, but she also uses the N-Word then makes fun of a "public school" girl who appears to be from Compton.  That's why, we're enducting Paris Hilton in to the Stupid Bitches Club.

There is one reason you may love her.  As we've told you before -- Paris is a big pot head, and her friend pops up a joint half way through.

Incase you don't wanna watch the whole video, here's a rundown:

1:16 Faggot
2:17 Joint
2:50 N-Word
4:13 Public School

Pete Doherty gets taped shooting up.

We all love to hate British rocker Pete Doherty, but he does make it sooo easy for us! The Sun snagged the video below where Pete is hanging out in a $16 per night hostile room shooting up with some new found friends.




Charles on... Naked Harry Potter

While this photo might make Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe look all grown up, the truth is -- he is not.  Many mothers are asking what they're supposed to tell their kids when they come across half naked pictures of Harry Potter riding a horse.   I'm not a mother for a reason, because I have NO IDEA what to tell them. 

It's no rumor, Radcliffe has taken a role in the London West End production of Equus, in which he will not only perform fully naked but will become visibly aroused while riding a horse.  Isn't this just a child predator's paradise?

Daniel Radcliffe is only 17 years -- Don't make me call Chris Hanson (Dateline NBC, To Catch a Predator).  It makes me sick to see websites like PerezHilton.com writing things like "lick" over the promo photos for the play. 

Control yourself!  He's a kid. What has happened to society?  It's almost as if we don't even know to act anymore.

Paris Hilton strikes back

Paris Hilton is not going to lay around and take this invasion of privacy as a website sales a peak at her personals. 

According to E Online, the Simple Life star filed a lawsuit on Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles in attempt to shut down the membership based website, parisexposed.com.  For $39.97, you can get a look at everything Paris left behind when she didn't pay her storage bill.

Rosie O'Donnell: A Big Gay Blessing

I wanted to take a moment and express my "pride" in one of our own, ROSIE O'DONNELL.  I love Rosie, and I always have!  However, I wasn't sure if her presence on the View would be positive or negative for the gay community.

Rosie has really impressed me, and so have the other hosts at the View.  In my gossip blog at the GossipParty.com, I provide detailed stories and blurbs about the View... so I follow the show closely.  I really enjoy it too!!  I love it that Rosie and her co-hosts (JOY BEHAR, ELISABETH HASSELBACH, BARBARA WALTERS) openly address Rosie's homsexuality. 

Notice I even mentioned Elisabeth.  Those of you who are familiar with the Gossip Party, know that I haven't been to keen on Elisabeth in the past; but she doesn't seem to uncomfortable having to sit beside Rosie.  Maybe her agent told her she can't catch it, maybe she is trying to be more open minded.  Whatever she is doing is working.

Hats off to the View, the hosts, ABC and the viewers for putting the LGBT community in the spotlight and on a positive note!

Nightclub Gossip Party: Are some new parties on the horizon?

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm constantly screaming for something NEW NEW NEW!!!  I moved to New York for the glitz, the glamor, the hot parties!  I've know for almost as long as I've been alive that I'd make the move from Dixie to the Big Apple, and I'm very vocal that I want my expectations met.

I want trend setting fashion, I want a loud sexy crowd, and I want unique new parties.. so of course, I want to be the first to tell you about some new events I've heard about for fall!

Gossip Party: Stonewall Not Closing, but Cleaning-up!

Reports and rumors have been flying about the New York Gay Community that the legendary Stonewall nightclub in the West Village is closing.  Wednesday we got word from Drew, the Thursday night promoter, that his "Detention" party had been ousted by the new lease holders.  Drew also says he was told that the club will closing.  Today we've discovered that the lease has changed hands, but the club will not close.

So why are Drew and other promoters being told to find a new home for their parties?  The truth is that Stonewall has been on a consistent down-hill slope for the past few years.  In the late 80's, Dominick Desimone, re-opened Stonewall promising to restore the club to its original heritage as the birth place of "coming out."  The club was the home base of the Stonewall Riots when gays took the streets loud and proud for the first time after being raided by police in 1969.

Gay Socialites Invade the East Village

The latest New York City college hot spot, Tragic, debuted on Tuesday to a packed house at Boysroom proving that even the youngsters need a little mid-week relief.

This is probably the only nightclub party in New York where you can jam to music from the 80s, 90s and today when you're not playing Nintendo on the big screen in the lounge.  However, the energy from the crowd and the sounds of Sidewalk made it hard to sit for too long!

The college cuties were out in full force making their mark on this new East Village hot spot! "I never knew Tuesdays could be so wild," said party goer Kane Johnson, an NYU Sophomore.

The College Scene Livens Up on Weekdays!

The New York nightlife scene is shifting to weekdays, and it looks like the gay college crowd is following!  This Tuesday kicks off something entirely new, a free 18 and over weekday party.

Tuesday nights suddenly got Tragic as Steve Sidewalk and Charles Winters make their East Village debut at Boysroom.  This crazy combo is known for their 18 and over mega parties all over the New York metro area, but now the duo says they are moving into unchartered territory - weeknights!

How do you get college kids to rub to elbows with the creme de la creme of the weekend night elite?  According to Steve Sidewalk you should offer variety, cheap drinks, little or no cover and a taste of the VIP feel from typical weeknight parties. 

"Our Tragic party at Boysroom will be the perfect mix of a laid back environment filled with a VIP crowd that just wants to chill and have fun," says DJ Sidewalk.  "I promise this party is going to be different than anything else you have ever seen!  We are playing Nintendo, drinking games and twister while listening to everything from Ace of Base to Justin Timberlake and anything that falls in-between."

Entertainment: Second season of Weeds is just as good as the first

Monday on Showtime, Mary Louise Parker and the Weeds crew showed us that once again this fall we're all going to be addicted to 'Weeds.' 

Parker returns to her Golden Globe-wining role as Nancy Botwin, a young struggling widow mother who finds herself forced to sell marijuana as a means of supporting her family. 

Last season Nancy struggled pushing weed to the locals a bag at a time, but during this second season she is transforming a small suburban operation into a professional growth house where she'll grow her own products.

The plot line here gets you attached even if you don't necessarily agree with what Nancy is doing.  It doesn't hurt that the supporting cast is amazingly spectacular featuring Elizabeth Perkins who also received and Emmy nod as Nancy's friend and neighbor Celia who last season had an affair on her husband after discovering she had cancer and that he too hand affair himself; former SNL superstar Kevin Nealon who plays Nancy's accountant and number one customer, Doug; Justin Kirk as Andy, Nancy's free-spirited and reckless brother-in-law; and now Martin Donavon who joined the cast last year as Nancy's love affair and left us with the cliff-hanging season finale as they revealed he was also a DEA officer.

Proof that the second season will take us just as high as the first, Nancy wakes up to discover that she had just slept with a badge carrying drug cop. At home her teenage son is more rebellious than most.  She also realized that her dream to grow her product wasn't going to happen because she didn't have the cash, and she just lost her top partner over sleeping with the DEA officer. Last but not least, she accidentally talked her best friend into running against her #1 customer for City Council.
