Clint Eastwood Declines VP Slot...Say What?!
"I was at a function, and a bunch of political types were there. And John McCain was there. He came up to say hello, I said, 'Look, don't even ask it. I will not be your vice president. I have to be on the top of the ticket.'"
—Clint Eastwood, interviewed in People
Update
L.C. Laughs Off Justin Bobby Hookup Rumor
Just when we thought we were getting over The Hills, some juicy off-camera drama happens to pique our interest yet again. Word is that Lauren Conrad might have hooked up with her former roomie Audrina Patridge's scruffy-sexy boy-toy Justin Bobby. Scandalous!
This isn't the first report of sparks between the two. Justin supposedly hit on L.C. during a summer beach bash in Malibu.
So what does Lauren (who's been making out with Kyle Howard all over town) have to say for herself?
Christina Aguilera Goes Gaga for Gwen
Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani have taken to recycling hairstyles.
And what are you doing to fight global warming?
Obviously, several talented singers just happen to love this classic look, even if some have been totally suggesting (and others totally refuting) that Christina's the one who's been totally copycatting.
Enough, people. Who's going to be accused next—Anna Faris?
Let's stop the craziness and get to the important point: Do you love it? Hate it? Want to see it reproduced on every popular singer of our time? Sound off!
Say What?! Shia Delivers the Beef. Or Is It Befe?
"In French, LaBeouf means 'beef,' but mine is spelled wrong. It should be LaBoeuf. My grandmother was a beatnik lesbian in the '50s who hated her family and decided to change the spelling, and it's been that way ever since. So you go to France and people are like, 'LaBeouf? You have an illiterate last name.' By the way, Shia is a bad four-letter word in French. So the literal translation of my name is 'S*** the Beef.' Kind of rock-starry, isn't it?"
—Shia LaBeouf in a parade.com interview with Jeanne Wolf
Don't Call Him Bond, James Bond
The James Bond brain trust has given itself a license to kill 007 catchphrases.
After dispatching gadgetmeister Q and flirtatious secretary Moneypenny from Casino Royale, the filmmakers behind the revamped franchise have decided to eliminate two of the spy's most famous lines— Daniel Craig won't proclaim himself "Bond, James Bond" or order his preferred vodka martini "shaken, not stirred"—for the upcoming Quantum of Solace.
Say it ain't so.
Nourish Your Inner Self With Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP
Good news everyone, Gwyneth Paltrow is launching a lifestyle website—because when life is as amazing as hers obviously is, it’s selfish to keep all those fabulous secrets to yourself.
The name of this potentially life-altering site is GOOP. Go ahead, say it out loud a few times—it’s infinitely worse sounding than the word blog. She could have gone with Gwyneth Paltrow's Blog. Or Gwyneth Blogrow. Or Gwyneth's Blog of Lovely Things I Get to Do and You Probably Won't Get to Do but Should Consider Doing. But GOOP?
While the site is still in it’s beginning stages, it promises to offer tips on how to Make, Go, Get, Do, Be, and See like Gwyneth so that we may become as awesome as Gwyneth and eventually get to hang out with Madonna.
In the place of said tips for now, Gwyneth offers up a short essay explaining how she has achieved such an enviable life:
Lindsay's MySpace Is Like Her Fake Wedding Ring
When Lindsay Lohan blogs, we can't help but pay attention, which feeds her need for attention (just like when she wears that band on her ring finger? we know!). But we're just so addicted to each other we can't stop.
In a recent MySpace entry, she disses Joe Francis for an interview our own Hollywood Party Girl did last week. The leggings designer defends her lady friend, writing that "samantha (sic) doesn't like joe francis because she feels he's an a--hole, not because she's jealous. Would you be jealous of joe francis????? yuck!"
Serious burn!
She also gives us an extra-special reason to peruse this week's Star in the supermarket line, teasing that it features an untrue (but probably tons o' fun) story about our blogging starlet.
Nick Jonas Say What?!
"He must have run out of material for a little while if that's what he had to resort to."
—Nick Jonas on Russell Brand's dissing the boys (non)sex life at the Video Music Awards, while promoting Camp Rock in the U.K. Mirror. We were hoping this would ignite into a huge, flaming feud, but those Jonas boys are just too dang polite.
Leighton Meester Is Humble, Not Like Blair at All
Any hopes we had that Leighton Meester would be as awesomely bitchy as her Gossip Girl alter ego have been dashed by a recent OK! interview, in which she was supernice.
Of her newfound fame. Leighton says: “It’s changed everything for the better. It's different, but I'm happy. This is the best life that I could ask for, and it's more than I thought it could be. I remember looking through magazines or watching movies even just a couple of years ago and being like, 'I really want to be part of that,' but not realizing what that was. I didn't understand it and now this is my life and it's so funny! I couldn't be happier.”
There were no complaints about the media being annoying and all up in her bidness or missing her privacy or even hating on Blake Lively. Rats! While it's refreshing to hear a celeb be so humble, we live for the juice. Let's go find America Ferrera and talk some crap!
Joe Francis: "Lindsay Is Straight" Besides SamRo
When Joe Francis stopped by the Hollywood Party Girl show yesterday, he went wild when asked about Lindsay Lohan, claiming that her constant companion Samantha Ronson is so jealous of any of L.L.'s male friends that she almost punched him.
"Lindsay's straight," he offered. "I think Sam has taken ownership of Lindsay. I think if Sam were to let Lindsay go even that much; Lindsay would revert back to being straight.”
Ronson’s rep declined to comment saying, “We don’t comment on stuff like that,” while LiLo's rep has yet to respond.
Francis was reported to have dated Linds in her prerehab days and she even vacationed at his Casa Aramara mansion in Mexico.
As for the rumor that he swapped spit with Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day at a VMA afterparty last weekend...
New Idol Judge: Why Would They Get Rid of Paula?
"Why would they get rid of Paula, who everybody loves, and put some person who no one's ever heard of in her place? Sounds a little crazy. Sounds like someone had a little too much to drink that night when they made that decision."
—Kara Dioguardi, dismissing rumors she was brought on American Idol to replace Paula, though entertainment writer Spike Feresten has some theories: "Paula is just loopy."
How to Matthew McConaugh-ify Yourself
Matthew McConaughey has a movie called Surfer, Dude coming out this weekend and while it doesn’t costar Kate Hudson, it does feature Matty-boy without a shirt on the entire time.
We met with him yesterday to talk about the movie, and, yeah, we mostly just wanted quotes about how baby Levi was destined to follow his father’s footsteps of shirtlessness, surfing and all-around chilled-out ‘tude. But we actually left feeling somewhat uplifted. It would be pretty awesome if he, like his mother, writes a motivational book. Actually, a video would probably be better, the Southern drawl is essential.
Now let’s get to the advice that kinda made us feel good for a second and will surely make its way down to Levi…
