Demi Lavato Performs on ‘Regis & Kelly’ 7.7.08

Disney’s newest little princess, Demi Lavato, (AKA the new Miley Cyrus) was on Live with Regis & Kelly this morning to perform one of her songs from “Camp Rock”, the new Jonas Brothers DVD. Here’s her performance & interview. It’s alright, but her young ages really shows and she kinda performs like she’s imitating someone a little more…mature…than she is:

Ed Westwick on ‘Gossip Girl’ Set in NYC

Whether he’s gay or not, Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick certainly rocks a rust-colored suit quite nicely (filming a scene for the show in NYC at the Hudson Hotel) if we do say so ourselves:

Hamptonites Celebrate the 4th with ‘Strange Brownies’

Brooke Shields in NYCSooooo it was the 4th of July in America this weekend, which is a huge party weekend out in the Hamptons.  Diddy had his annual “White” party (it was reportedly so crowded, that he almost couldn’t get in himself) and over in Bridgehampton, some rich dude named Sandy Gallin threw a party that was attended by Russell Simmons, Matthew Broderick, Brooke Shields, Matt Lauer, Mary J. Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, Jerry Seinfeld, and Richard Gere.  According to PageSix, here’s what transpired:

“They were serving strange brownies,” cackled our spy. “Half the people there were wrecked. They weren’t making any sense, and people were laughing at inappropriate comments.”

‘Strange brownies’ aka ‘Pot brownies” more than likely - which then begs for someone to point out the image of Matt Lauer and Brooke Shields not only eating pot brownies but actually walking around high off of them.  Oh, the fun, the fun…

Perch, Australia, hometown of Heath Ledger, named a theatre in his honor on Tuesday. The theatre, now known as the Heath Ledger Theater has 575-seats as a tribute to his show of support of other young actors.

“Heath Ledger was totally dedicated to the craft of being an actor and that’s what made him successful,” Carpenter said. “I think what we’re doing is continuing that support for young people who want to make a career in the arts and acting, stage and in film, whatever it happens to be.”

Speaking of Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight comes out on July 18 and is already getting some FANTASTIC reviews from people who have seen early screenings. Ledger’s been getting early Oscar buzz for his performance as the Joker.

Jennifer LopezJennifer Lopez probably wishes now that her past wasn’t so eventful. The singer/actress/fashion designer/new mom/everything else you can think of has been subpoenaed to testify in a lawsuit filed against ex-boyfriend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs over his involvement in a 1999 New York club shooting. The incident, which happened back when the pair were dating, injured 2 people, including one woman who was shot in the face. Rapper Shyne was convicted of assault, reckless endangerment, & gun possession and is currently serving a 10-year jail term. Diddy was acquitted of all charges.

J.Lo will be testifying in an upcoming $130 million civil suit filed by the woman who was shot in the face, Natania Reuben. It will then be determined whether or not Diddy was at fault.

Does Lindsay Lohan Have a Secret Sister?

Michael Lohan AgoSo does he or doesn’t he?  Michael Lohan, attention loving father of Lindsay Lohan, has gotten more than he bargained for on both ends: loads of publicity for allegedly fathering an illegitimate 13-year-old daughter!  Massage therapist Kristi Kaufmann claims that her daughter Ashley is the product of a 1995 affair the two had while he was separated from ex-wife Dina Lohan.  Yesterday, Lohan took a paternity test, because he has doubts that the Montana native was only with him at the time.  According to Lohan, Kaufmann told him in 2005 while he was in prison that she “had a paternity test with her ex-husband and it was negative and she believed the child was mine.  She said I was the only one she was with but I find that hard to believe.  She was with a number of men after me and was going through a second divorce right now.”

Furious that Kaufmann went to the media and even whored her own daughter out to OK! magazine for a photo shoot (Dina Lohan-esqe anyway?), he added, “If the test is found to be negative she’s gonna be sued for libel and defamation.  Why did she wait so long? Is it because she wants money? Or is it because she wants to claim that Ashley is my children’s sister?  I will never force my children to meet with Ashley.

Results come back in 2 weeks so stay tuned for more drama!

Check out the picture of Ashley “Lohan” Kaufmann right here!

Is Madonna Having an Affair with A-Rod?!

Madonna & kids at Yankee Game

Us Weekly is reporting that Yankee 3rd-baseman Alex Rodriguez has made “numerous” late-night visits to Madonna’s Central Park West apartment. A source claims that A-Rod arrives alone and leaves “as late as midnight” and that “all the doormen are talking.” A-Rod is married with two young daughters while Madonna’s been in the news lately thanks to rumors that she and husband Guy Ritchie have both hired divorce attorneys. Ritchie arrived in Manhattan last night reportedly in an attempt to “salvage their marriage.”

Madonna’s publicist Liz Rosenberg denies all this, telling People.com, “Madonna’s husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving). There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.” As for A-Rod: “Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary. They have met. They know each other and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There’s really not anything to comment on beyond that.”

What do you think?

Lindsay Lohan’s 3rd Album Name & Release Date

Ladies & gentleman, we have a title! And it’s not as lame as “A Little More Personal (Raw)”. Lindsay Lohan has gone the Mariah Carey route of “symbolic” nomenclature and called her third studio album, “A Spirit in the Dark”. The album will be released on November 4, 2008 and its first single, “Playground” (featuring Pharrell Williams) will be released on the radio in September. Other artists contributing to L.Lo’s album are Akon, StarGate, and Bloodshy & Avant.

Hopefully, it’ll be more along the embarrassingly catchy “Rumors” line and not like whatever crap came off her second album.

Chace Crawford & Ed Westwick Secretly Dating?

Chace Crawford & Ed WestwickChace Crawford and…Ed Westwick?!?!?!

Perez Hilton is reporting that he was contacted by reporters from the NY Post & the NY Daily News that extremely reliable on-set sources have spilled that the Gossip Girl co-stars & real-life roommates are in a relationship!  Why didn’t these two gossip hungry newspapers out-scoop each other?  Apparently they’ve grown a rare case of morals and passed the info along to Perez because they don’t like to “out” people.  Says the item:

Something fishy is going on!

We’ve been contacted by entertainment reporters - within days of each other - from the NY Post and the NY Daily News.

They both wanted to share a juicy piece of info - too juicy to print, they said.

Seems like on-set sources, which the pubs tell us are reliable, have told each paper that Chace Crawford and Gossip Girl co-star and real-life roommate Ed Westwick are in a relationship and not trying to hide it, at least on set.

BOTH NY papers tell us that Chace and Ed were recently seen kissing, open-mouthed on set (in Chace’s trailer).

What do you guys think?  Are they loverrrrrs or is it Carrie Underwood’s last revenge?

Cynthia Nixon on Boob Jobs & Gay Marriage

Cynthia Nixon & TheatreworksUSA's Present A Special Reading

Cynthia Nixon has cleared the air about her alleged breast enhancement. “I was at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital for my ‘three-monthly’ checkup. I was in the Oncology Department. I guess they think that means plastic surgery,” explained Nixon, who is a breast cancer survivor. “We got a call from [the Post] asking if I’d had breast augmentation, and my publicist laughed at them and said, ‘No, of course not.’ But they printed it anyway. If I was going to get a boob job, wouldn’t it make sense that I’d get it before ‘Sex and the City‘? The story was totally false. It would be annoying and disheartening in any case, but particularly because I’ve been so open about my breast cancer.”

The actress also spoke about the recent legalization of same-sex marriage in California. She & her partner, Christine Marinoni, will not be going across country to get married because they’d “like to do it in New York, when it becomes legalized. Hopefully it won’t take 20 years.”

Anne Hathaway’s Ex Got Arrested Again…

Even more trouble for Raffaello Follieri, recent ex-boyfriend of Anne Hathaway.  This morning, the Italian American businessman was arrested on charges that he operated a fraudulent real estate investment scheme, tricking investors with claims that his Vatican connections could get U.S. real estate at bargain prices.  The big question now is do you think that Anne was involved or knew about this at all?  It’s kinda sketchy that she used to be on the board of directors for his company and broke up with him just in the nick of time…

Raffaello Follieri, 29, was awaiting an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Manhattan after the unsealing of a criminal complaint charging him with a dozen counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering

Follieri was accused in the complaint of portraying himself as the Vatican’s representative in the United States to obtain real estate at below-market prices. Prosecutors claim he used those false claims to obtain money from investors, including millions of dollars from a private equity firm based in California. The name of the firm wasn’t included in the complaint.

According to the complaint, Follieri spent hundreds of thousands of dollars he obtained from investors on an opulent lifestyle, including privately chartered flights to travel around the world with friends and family, expensive meals and clothing, a posh apartment in Manhattan and medical expenses.
