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.

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.

Look it's Paris Hilton picking up trash on the freeway!  Believe it or not, it might happen.  She was sentenced to probation after pleading 'no contest' to alcohol-related wreckless driving in September.

Hilton was given the option of reducing her probation to 24 months instead of three years if she attended a 40-hour community service program.

Let's just hope her community service is out doors for the world to see!

Rosie O'Donnell has really made a SPLASH at "The View" in just a short time.  Now, it looks like her rivals with others (mainly Donald Trump) may be causing an internal fued between Rosie and her boss, Barbara Walters.

Every gossip rag on the planet is talking about a fight that evidently took place between Rosie and Barbara just minutes before going on the air Monday morning.

According the Daily News, this is how it went down:

"Rosie had a very firm talk with Barbara," says the snitch. "She told her in no uncertain terms, 'I hope you set the record straight.' "

But according to Page Six, it was a bit nastier than that!

"You've crossed the line." O'Donnell retorted, "Cameras are now outside of my house where my wife and kids are." She turned to Walters and said, "You went all around this and never called [Trump] a liar. You never said, 'Donald is lying.' You never called him a liar."  When Walters tried to defend herself, O'Donnell erupted, "Are you looking me in the face and denying you didn't tell him you didn't say this? You're a fucking liar."

Babwa and Rosie both have the same publicist, Cindy Berger; and she didn't even deny the fight happened saying,

"Whatever happened in the hair and makeup room was hardly a squabble. It's business as usual, everyone has moved on."

It will be sad if Rosie doesn't come back to the View after her one year contract is up, but now that TV talk is back in her blood -- Rosie may have to go solo again!  That wouldn't be such a bad thing, would it?!

This has been an exciting year for GaySocialites.com and The Gossip Party.  The Gossip Party took a stab at running its own site only to realize that most people can pick up the Gossip Party in a local newspaper, at GenerationQ.net or at GaySocialites.com; so at the end of the year we find ourselves back together.  Is there any better place to be?

Now we take a look back at 2006.  It seems like this was the year when the pop culture balloon popped bursting mishaps all over the place.  Here are some highlights that were the ups and downs of 2006!

Up:

Britney Spears leaves Kevin Federline!  We all knew it was coming, and we all sang her praises the day it happened.  It seemed as though Britney Spears had finally come to her senses and was ready for a comeback!  K-Fed basically crashed and burned, recieving the break-up news live on Much Music TV then buying socks and underwear at Wal-Mart a few days later.  Britney Spears, for at least a brief moment, resurfaced to the top of our hearts.

Down: 

Britney the pantiless Socialite:  For most, it was only a matter of time until Britney Spears left K-Fed to try and make a comeback.  What we learned is that you can take the redneck girl out of the trashy marriage, but you can't take the trash out of the redneck girl.  Instead of dumping her slacker hubby and heading the for the recording studio, Britney ditched the kids and hit the party trail with none other than Paris Hilton.  The two topped all the headlines drunk, sweaty, sans panties. 

Britney Spears is one of those people that we all either love to hate or secretly hope she has an incredible comeback.  Instead, she seems to be digging herself deeper and deeper.  Even her biggest fans are giving up her (literally).  In the last week of the year, her fan hub titled World of Britney is calling it quits saying she is "done."

Up: 

All these pretty people get together and start having babies! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie finally convened as the world's two hottest people and did us all the favor or reproducing.  We can all die now, the world's most beautiful person has been created!  Now, we wait.  Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes claimed to have sex and give birth too!  I, personally, do not really believe that they even had sex.  I think they bought that baby from China, but that's just me.  Regardless, they made a crap load of money by selling their photos to magazines and letting us finally see these beautiful kids.  It must have taken Tom and Katie a long time to pick out their baby, because we didn't get to see pictures for most of the year.  Brad and Angie gave their money to charity.

Madonna and Angelina also picked up some Africa babies this year.  Madonna got more press than Angie did, because Madonna bought a baby that wasn't an orphan sparking controversy that she bought her way in.  Who cares?  These kids both just made it to superstardom.  Work it out babies.

Down:

Reverand Run's Baby Dies:  Reverand Run and his wife Justine gave birth to a baby girl in September, but it died shortly after.  They didn't make an appearance again that year until the end of November when Run turned 42.  Rumor has it they may cancel talks for another season of their hit MTV reality show "Runs House."

Up:  

Whitney Houston leaves Bobby Brown!  I was actually waiting for this one to happen.  As much as I like Whitney as a druggie, I am very excited about seeing her make a comeback in 2007!  Unlike Britney, Whitney has selected better company route. 

Instead of loosing her panties and heading out to the club to find the nearest socialite (like Britney Spears did) Whitney went straight for the top making cameos at high profile events with her record producer Clive Davis and her famous cousin Deon Warwick.

That's why Whitney Houston is my pick for Best Divorce of 2006 and Most Likely to have the Best Comeback in 2007!

Down:

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe file for divorce:  Reese and Ryan were supposed to be success story in Hollywood matrimony.  I love them both, and I can't imagine having to choose between "Team Reese" and "Team Ryan."  Despite all the rumors that have ciculated throughout their marriage, these two seems to continually knock them down until they couldn't hide the problems anymore.

Rumor has it that Ryan cheated on Reese, so she kicked him to the curb.  Neither have officially confirmed anything other than "irreconsilible differences."  I, personally, would rather not know the reason for the split.

As you know every rollercoaster has a big ending.  The big mountain to climb, normally a few twists and flips on the way down before you plummet to your near death.  This leg of the Rollercoaster ride of 2006 is led by none other than Anna Nicole Smith....

Up:

Anna Nicole Smith is pregnant & getting her money!  Finally, Anna Nicole Smith has another way to make a few bucks!  It all began shortly after the big announcement she created a members only section of her website where people could pay to get video updates on her pregnancy.  She is mum about the father, but we were okay with that... because we knew this would lead to a much thicker drama later!  She continued to make money later by selling the video of her c-section birth.  All signs point to more money after the son of her later hubby, J. Howard Marshall, died leaving the courts to hand Anna Nicole her share of her husband's inheritance in 2007.

Down:

Daniel Smith Dies in a Hospital! While visiting his mother and new born sister, Anna Nicole Smith's son mysteriously dies in a hospital room.  Coroners find that he died of a lethal mix of anti-depressants and methadone.  Anyone who has seen their reality show on E! knows that Daniel Smith was "the good kid" basically raising his mother.  He isn't the type to do drugs.  Rumors circulated that other people in the hospital heard Anna Nicole screaming "you did this to him" 30 minutes before a nurse was called to try and revive Daniel.  The other person in the room with Anna Nicole and Daniel was her life-long friend and attorney Howard K. Stern.  After Daniel died, the money making continued as Anna Nicole sold the last photos of him to the tabloids making an easy million.  Shortly after, Howard K. Stern went on Larry King Live and announced that he was the father of Anna Nicole's new baby.  Meanwhile,  paparazzi photographer Larry Birkhead claimes he is baby Dannielynn's father.  He gets a court order to bring her back to the US for a paternity test, instead Anna Nicole gets residency in the Bahamas refusing to come back to the states.

Now lets see where 2007 takes us!  Happy New Year!!

Tara Conner may now be known as FORMER Miss America later this week.  Trump has evidently kicked her out of the Miss America apartment, and Miss California is standing by in the wings.

Evidently she's become too much of a "socialite" and was partying way too much!  Rumor also has it that there might be drugs involved.

Even though she isn't even old enough to drink, Lindsay Lohan has confirmed she is in rehab and hasn't had a drink in a week.  She said, "I've been going to AA for a year."  When asked why she hadn't admitted to it sooner, she replied, "Well it's no one's business. That's why it's anonymous!"  The former teen queen says she doesn't go to clubs to drink, so you'll still see her out partying -- but she doesn't plan to drink anymore!  Good luck to Lindsay. 

I heard a rumor that Fergie, Dutchess of York (the real dutchess, not the bed-wetting singer) is considering an appearance on the next 'Dancing with the Stars.'  The Dutchess was evidently a big fan of the show and is said to be 'honored' by the invitation.  She hasn't accepted or turned down the chance yet, so I guess we'll have to wait on this one.

That's your mid-week Gossip update, keep the party going til the weekend comes!!!

One of our female counterparts on the West Coast is in a bit of trouble today.  Nicole Richie evidently had a long night.  After cops spotted her driving down the wrong way on the express way, she was pulled over and arrested for suspicion of DUI.

The scariest part -- she weighed in at 85 pounds when she was booked!  She was released early Monday morning on $15,000 bail. 

Britney Spears has finally released a statement about not wearing panties and partying too hard! The "Oops I did It Again" singer utilized her ever popular website to clear it all up. She started with somewhat of an explanation saying, "It's been so long since I've been out on the town with friends. It's also been 2 years since I've even celebrated my birthday." Hello! That's mother hood pop tart! She went on, "Every move I make at this point has been magnified more than I expected, and I probably did take my new found freedom a little too far." Did she forget that she has two children? She recognizes this freedom from her estranged husband, Kevin Federline, but doesn't bother to mention who has been watching her kids. She did, however, make light of her panty problem saying, "Anyway, thank God for Victoria's Secrets' new underwear line!" Can you say promo op? I bet she has more panties than she knows what to do with now. I hear that just about every panty maker in the nation is sending her some drawers! I want Britney to have a good comeback, I really do! I just hope she hasn't screwed it all up already. Even white trash celebrities are still white trash.

Actor Wesley Snipes made his way back to the mainland today to turn himself over to police. Snipes has been in Namibia filming his latest movie, Gallow Walker when the warrant was issued in October. He is accused of skipping out on paying millions of dollars in taxes in 1996 and 1997. He says he is being unfairly targeted. If convicted he faces up to 16 years behind bars! He was released on $1 million dollars bail.

Finally, Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown says her ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy is definitely the father of the baby she is carrying. She says she can't imagine why he would publicly question the child's paternity. The two were rumored to get pregnant the first time they had sex. Sounds unlikely, but Scary Spice says there is no possible way that anyone else is the father. I also heard that Murphy didn't dump Mel B in person. She heard about it when the rest of the world did, during a Dutch TV interview that Murphy conducted while Mel was flying to states. Shady, shady, shady!

That's the gossip party for this week. Keep the party going until next weekend!

Breaking News:  Lance Bass came out to the world as Reichen Lehmkuhl's boyfriend.  Now, he's just 'out.'  That's right, Lance and Reichen have called it quits!  Lance never really deserved such a hot guy anyway.  Good luck to them both -- Reichen, shoot me an e-mail.

Jessica Simpson is being dragged around today by the tabloids for screwing up the words to Dolly Parton's 9-to-5 at a tribute concert for her over the weekend at the White House.  Jessica seemed really remorseful, and most people in attendance said she even cried.  I guess Jessica knows if she pisses off Dolly Parton, then she'll lose her gay following.  CBS will broadcast the show Dec. 26 at 9 p.m. EST.

As the Billboard Awards have kicked off live from Las Vegas, the show seems to be without any hosts.   Britney Spears pulled out of the hosting gig on Thursday, and on Friday Paris Hilton followed in her foot steps.  The two were supposed to co-host the gig, but both pulled out for different reasons.  Britney pulled out during negotiations, and Paris dropped the gig because she said she didn't approve of some jokes in the show that poke fun at her celebrity friends.
