Day Old News: 2008-10-05

Friday, October 10, 2008

Britney Spears was also on carpool duty. She took her dad and her housekeeper to pick up her boys from preschool. While Jayden is still looking blonde, Sean's hair has turned brown like his dad's.

We Are Family: Affleck

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner both got out of the car to drop their daughter Violet off at school in the morning. Jennifer is due to give birth to their second child this winter.

Mommy and Me: Salma and Valentina

Salma Hayek looks amazing as she guest stars on 30 Rock. My favorite little celebaby Valentina was also on set with her red hot mama.

What Has Happened to VH1?

Not sure what has happened to the station that used to be MTV's older sibling. It's now overrun with shows too adult and trashy for the MTV crowd (and do you know how hard it is to take that title away from Real World/Road Rules Challenges?). They love to reward the trashiest pieces of trash they can find spinning on a stripper's pole, barfing backstage, or lining up for a mug shot. Their newest show is another dating spin-off, this time centered around Rock of Love season 2 runner up Daisy de la Hoya, a chick with more issues than any of her co-stars. Her show will be called Daisy of Love and should be the network's biggest catastrophe to date!

LOL: SNL

Soundbites: Heidi Montag on Whitney Port's Clothing Line

Whitney Port's new clothing line comes with a steep price tag, with many items costing over $500. Heidi had something to say about that to the paparazzi who caught up with her lunching with her boyfriend and his sister, Stephanie, at the Waffle House yesterday. She said, "I don't think that's a very smart idea. I'm praying for her because I think she needs it. I think that was the problem with other people’s lines. They're too expensive, especially for what they are and for how much they cost. People are going to spend that much money, they're most likely gonna buy a huge designer. I think right now it's just a little silly.I want my fans to be able to get it; I want everyone to be able to access it. Fashion is not for the rich, it's for everybody. It's just a fun way to express yourself, if anything it should be affordable for everybody."

Where in the World is LiLo?

Picking up some supplies for a ride with SamRon. The couple were reportedly headed out to a friend of Sam's for Yom Kippur.

Brit Brit: What the Hell Was I Thinking?

I will consistently be surprised at the loyalty that follows Britney Spears. Admittedly, I am a fan on par with the nutsos, but it truly seems that everybody wants to see her win. This documentary is the first time I've seen her speak as she used to, albeit I'm sure heavily coached and prepped. Yet, it really seems like she's becoming her old self. Again, I'm letting you in to my crazy side in saying I do have multiple DVDs of Brit Brit, all gifts from people who know how much I heart her. If you've seen "Stages", you witnessed the beginning of it all. When I got that DVD for my birthday years ago from a roommate, I thought it would be immensely entertaining, but it was just tragic. Throughout the documentary, which followed her on her last days on her Dream within a Dream tour (think "I'm a Slave 4 U"), you see how impossible lonely, tired, and confused she is. Everytime I've watched it, I feel like it's ominous for something horrible to come - which of course it was. It was after this tour that she met Kevin Federline and we've all seen what she was like during those days, in their reality show, Chaotic. I think Brit Brit's downfall began on camera, in Stages, and everything after was a slow crash-and-burn, although miraculously her music never failed. Not one of her discs can be written off as unmemorable in the history of pop culture. I'm just glad to have her back, MTV film crew and all, and can't wait for the videos and the tours she's denied us for the past three years. Enjoy the preview!

Bruce Willis is Incognito

Earlier this week, I saw Bruce Willis leaning against a building in Beverly Hills. I looked back about three times because I wasn't sure it could be him looking like this. But now that I found these photos of him shopping with his daughter and girlfriend, I know it was him. His girlfriend probably is in Lula's class.

Where in the World is LiLo?

Shopping at Fred Segal sans the gf. She's looking slightly girlier today, no?

Zac and Vanessa at LAX

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are back from their European tour. Exciting stuff! Below is his brand new wax statue. Will it haunt your dreams?

Suri is a Princess

Proof is in the pudding, look at her strut with her nose in the air and her Hermes bag in hand.

Still On: Kyle and LC

When Lauren was taking her new car out for a spin yesterday, she was heading out to meet up with her boyfriend Kyle Howard. The two lunched together at Toast before heading off into the sunset.

Dunzo: Hef and Holly & Kendra

After learning that Holly Madison is dropping word that she is single, Hugh Hefner, 82, has confirmed they are dunzo, saying, "If she says it's over, it's over. But like I've said before, she is the love of my life, and I expected to spend the rest of my life with her." He said six months ago, he was tested and found his sperm count was too low to father a child. Holly grew depressed and the relationship went sour. He said, "With my sperm count, it's not possible. I was willing but it was not possible…She'd like to be married and have children, but it's not in the cards here for me."

He also confirmed that Kendra will be moving out of the Mansion by the end of the year. Holly has a new home already. No word on whether or not Bridget will stay when she returns from filming a travel show called Bridget's Beaches in Europe (Taradise 2 anyone?).

Heartbroken Hef has quickly bounced back and is interviewing new girlfriend candidates. Two 19-year-old orange twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon want to date him (SICK), as does Georgia college senior Amy Leigh Andrews (way to use that education!). Amy is a brunette so clearly she can't be head girlfriend. Which of the twins will earn that spot?

Mommy and Me: Katie and Suri

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise make a dash for it! No, they were just dreaming about running free one day.

Soundbites: NicRic and Joel

NicRic and Joel Madden did a photoshoot and interview about their lives with Harlow.
On how she looks just like her dad:
Nicole: I tell Joel, "Even when I'm really mad at you, I could never really hate you, because you look like Harlow."
On celebrity playdates:
Joel: "We're friends with Pete and Ashlee. We're excited for them to soon be parents."
On Harlow's future:
Joel: "I can't wait til she starts playing sports."
Nicole: "Sports?"
Joel: "Tennis."
Nicole: "Tennis?"
Joel: "It's cute. A little tennis player."
Nicole: "No, she's going to be a dancer."

Taylor Momsen is Barely Recognizable

Taylor Momsen is starting out a promising career as a model by posing for Crash magazine. Kind of looks like an Olsen gone bad.

Christina Applegate Films Samantha Who

Christina Applegate looks hot, and I mean sweating, as she films a winter scene for Samantha Who? in Pacific Palisades yesterday. Temps here are still abnormally high and I can't imagine being in a coat, let alone away from an air conditioner, yesterday.

Brit Brit Breakdown

Britney Spears headed out shopping yesterday in Hollywood, when her bodyguard collided with a paparazzi mobile. Luckily, Brit Brit wasn't driving. Yesterday she was offered the opportunity to avoid trial for driving without a license last year, but she rejected the offer of a $150 fine and a year of probation. In other Spears news, rumors that Jamie Lynn is preggo again are being rejected by the fam.

Brit Brit is looking really great, makes me happy!

Lauren Conrad Upgrades Her Ride

Lauren Conrad took her newly delivered $118,000 silver Audi R8 L for a spin yesterday. She went for lunch on 3rd street to show off her ride. Meanwhile, Audrina Patridge went on The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday and spoke about the rumor that LC hooked up with Justin Bobby, saying, "After I found these rumors out, she chose to talk to me through the tabloids and not come directly to me or call me, as a true friend. Neither of them have really talked to me or made an effort, so I really don't know what to believe. I don't want to believe it." Ellen:
"Can you stop doing the show? Because it all sounds kind of messy and hurtful, right?" Audrina:
"It is...[but] I'm a big part of the show, so, you know, we're filming until December. And then after that, you know, we'll see." Yes, Audrina, you are the reason the show exists. Get over yourself.
