Don't Hassle the Hoff

"Though it might seem like a joke, David Hasselhoff is determined to outcamp Showgirls.
How?
He's working on a musical based on his life. And, he's gonna star in it himself!!
The lucky folks in Australia are going to be the ones to get the first taste of David Hasselhoff: The Musical, which will include numbers inspired by The Young and The Restless and Knight Rider.
"I am also doing a heart-rendering set on my life and the mistakes I have made," The Hoff says. "It sounds like a bad joke, but it is really going to be a good show...totally campy. It's written by the same people who wrote Bette Midler's show and produced by the people who produced Chicago in London."
The Hoff hopes to bring his XXXpectacular production to the Vegas strip. He says, "If it ends up in Vegas, how great would that be? I want to entertain people. Sammy Davis, Jr. was my hero."
There better be some Baywatch action going on in that musical too. Nothing better than some wet people in swimsuits on stage!"--PerezHilton.com

"There was only one major no-show on Friday night in Las Vegas for what turned out to be — as much as it could be — a Beatles reunion.
For the premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s stunning new Beatles show, “Love,” at the Mirage Hotel, a group of people came who have not been in the same room since — well, I don’t know -- came together for one night only. Who would have thunk it?
Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison — Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison — united for a moment in time to honor the group's historic accomplishments. They are without a doubt the First Dysfunctional Family of Rock and Roll.
That would have been extraordinary enough, but also present for the event were John’s first wife, Cynthia Lennon, their son, Julian, and Ravi Shankar, Harrison’s great musical influence and friend. For a time after the show was over, this entire gang — as well as Apple Records’ masterminds Neil Aspinall and Jonathan Clyde, plus Paul’s brother in-law/business partner John Eastman, and old friend record producer Peter Asher (there wife Wendy and Robin Williams’ wife Marcia) — filled a very small space set up as a “private” party within a humongous celebration for the 4,000 people who’d come to see the first two official presentations of “Love.”"--Foxnews.com

"After nearly being excommunicated from the fashion biz, Kate Moss uses her supermodel powers to reinvigorate her career. Nine months since tabloid photos surfaced showing Moss snorting what appeared to be cocaine, British fashion house Burberry has unveiled the waif wonder as the new face of their 2006 autumn/winter campaign.After the scandal broke, Moss lost contracts with Swedish retailer H+M, Roberto Cavalli and Gloria Vanderbilt. Although Burberry distanced themselves from Moss by dropping her from their Fall 2005 campaign and removing her posters from their flagship store, they insist she always remained "part of the Burberry family." But why the renewed love now? Calls to Burberry were not immediately returned.Since spending time in an Arizona rehab clinic last year and apologizing to "all the people I have let down," Moss has enjoyed quite the comeback. Besides Burberry, Moss has obtained contracts with Nikon, Calvin Klein, Virgin Mobile, Stella McCartney and French luxury brand Longchamp. Proving what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, reports now claim Moss has more than doubled her earnings since before the whole debacle was exposed. Not bad for a 32-year-old model - a relative dinosaur in the fashion world.Last week British prosecutors revealed Moss would not be prosecuted over the drug claims, saying there was insufficient evidence to prove she was using cocaine."-tmz.com

Mail addressed to her has been arriving at my residence without my permission. I have never met this person."

Natasha Lyonne is so sad, but I can't resist

2006-06-27T07:06:00.000-04:00

"Remember Natasha Lyonne? The adorably husky actress from American Pie and Slums of Beverly Hills seemed to have skipped her DARE classes and, in the past year and a half, has threatened to molest her neighbors dog, pissed off her landlord Michael Rappaport (who wrote about her drug den in Jane), and was hospitalized for all sorts of life-threatening, needle-related things. The last Natasha sighting we ran was in January; we didn’t receive another until mid-May. Bu t as we’d not heard much about Natasha, we weren’t sure if the sighting was legit, so it was set aside for safekeeping. Then we received a genuinely disturbing Natasha account, then another, and yet one more last night. Four fucked Natashas cannot be ignored, so here they are, in order:
May 20th: It is Saturday morning around 9 am and I just saw Natasha Lyonne dragging herself down the street shuffling her feet. It is so sad. I saw this young girl looking like she is in a drug induced coma walking down west 23rd street past Hotel Chelsea. I noticed her because she was so young looking and her face was so dirty and in contrast I looked at her clothes and she was wearing designer jeans, white button down blouse and a cap on her head. Her clothes were disheveled but you don’t see many homeless, drug addicts walking around with designer jeans on and little flat ballet slipper type shoes. She dragged herself over to a public payphone and picked up the receiver and sat for a minute and put it back down and kept walking toward 8th ave. Poor thing!
June 11: I just saw that girl from Slums of Beverly Hills, Natasha Lyonne, inside the Walgreens on Union Square (14th Street, Manhattan) at about 2:15 am. She looked terrible…she had a gray, hooded sweatshirt on (with the hood up) that looked like it was stained on the front, her face was really oily, and she had really dark circles under her eyes. I saw her in the Pharmacy section of the store (I was waiting for a prescription). She walked right up to the cashier and asked for syringes! Specifically, she said “Can you get me a pack of 1 CC syringes?”. The cashier made her sign her name in a book, Natasha paid for them, shoved them in her bag, and then left the store. I was very surprised she would be so open about buying them…I guess she figured no one would recognize her with her hood up at 2 o’clock in the morning.
June 13: This morning at about 9:30 I left my apartment, next door to Cafe Mozart on 70th. Sitting at one of the outside tables was Natasha Lyonne looking ultra-tragic, with two attractive friends who almost seemed like nurses or babysitters. Natasha was dressed in a huge hooded sweatshirt, baggy jeans, etc. It was impossible to estimate her body weight, but her face looked a lot heavier and she was covered in some sort of bad red rash, or a giant pimple over her entire face. She actually looked so bad I feel guilty writing this, I just know there are some people out there who like to hear she’s still alive once in a while.
June 18: I keep seeing her in my neighborhood-chelsea! I sat and watched her for awhile. It is so sad. She looks like she could die any minute. She was sitting on a step with her drug needle literally falling out of her hand as she started to go into her heroin sleep.Then she would wake up and try to itch her face. What is wrong with her face? She looks like she has a huge tumor or maybe she has been beaten up or has some sort of infection but it is red and swollen and bleeding. Every time I see her, she has different clothes on. This time she was wearing black pants, black long sleeved t-shirt (Sunday-the hottest day of the year)and black boots! It is so sad. Where is her family? Why isn’t anyone getting her help?"--Gawker.com

"Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have thanked well-wishers after marrying in a harbourside ceremony in Sydney yesterday. Church bells pealed after the couple exchanged vows in a candlelit ceremony at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel. "We just want to thank everyone in Australia and around the world who have sent us their warm wishes," the couple said in a statement. Fans and photographers got within arm's reach of Kidman as she arrived in a convoy of cream Rolls Royce wedding cars. Kidman, 39, wore an elegant ivory-coloured dress with a sheer veil and carried a posy of white roses. Her attendants were her sister Antonia, her 13-year-old daughter Isabella and her niece Lucia. Her son, 11-year-old Connor, was an usher.

Future of Futurama

2006-06-25T17:52:00.000-04:00

"Fans of "Futurama" are certainly rejoicing as Comedy Central announced it would bring back the series for 13 new episodes. That makes the second Fox animated series to get rebirthed - "Family Guy" being the other.(Fox, finally sensing that people actually like its rejects, saw the light and decided to continue making more "King of the Hill" episodes after shutting down production).
The "Futurama" news is good for Matt Groening, who has always had a special affinity for his forgotten Fox series. And the move gives Comedy Central even more strength. So everybody wins. Even Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" wins, though it lost out in the negotiations for "Futurama." It wins because, well, it's one of the coolest channels on the planet and has a keen understanding of now to tap a niche audience.
Fox, on the other hand, has completely given up on being the outsider network and no longer has an interest in the word "niche." Instead, the network is hell bent on becoming CBS-lite. So good luck with that."--SFGate.com

"I'm told that Candy Spelling is "devastated" over the loss of her husband, Aaron. Some of her friends visited Candy at her mansion on Saturday to comfort her. Aaron's death was not a surprise -- he was very ill for a very long time -- but the grim reality is never easy to handle once it happens. Of the people I know who were there, no one saw Tori. It's no secret that she was feuding with both her mom and dad before his death. Candy was especially outraged at Tori's reality show, in which Candy feels she was unfairly trashed. Tori has issued a statement that she made peace with Aaron before his death. She visited him last week, though I'm told she was not there when he died. Tori has made no mention of peace with her mom. Aaron Spelling was a wildly successful and rich man, so presumably Candy is now in control. It will be interesting to see how that plays out with Tori. In Hollywood, power shifts have a way of changing everything."--TMZ.com

Celeb Courtroom Sketches
New book chronicles Hollywood trials

You never saw the jury look in horror at pictures of Nicole Brown Simpson's bloody body. TV cameras were prevented from recording the moment. But Mona Shafer Edwards, a legendary courtroom artist, captured that moment and scores of others you never saw in her new book, 'Captured! Inside the World of Celebrity Trials.' The book is available at bookstores as well as Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com.

Michael Jackson seemed amused in his 1996 civil trial, unphased that he was being sued for allegedly defrauding producers of the TV show, 'Jackson Family Honors.' Jackson allegedly duped producers by not performing solo during the show. The jury ruled against The King of Pop, to the tune of $2.6 million.

Frequent defendant Courtney Love appeared in a Beverly Hills court in 2004, charged with breaking and entering and assault. She was ordered into drug rehab.

Farrah Fawcett testified in 1998 against her then-boyfriend James Orr, who was charged with "battery in a dating relationship." Orr was found guilty and sentenced to community service.

Jennifer Aniston and then-husband Brad Pitt at the witness stand in 2002. Aniston sued a photogpraher who climbed a tree and snapped topless photos of Jen in her backyard. The court awarded the 'Friends' star $550,000 in damages.

In one of the most entertaining cases ever, Dolly Parton was sued in 1985 for allegedly ripping off the song '9 to 5.' Parton took the stand, guitar in hand, and treated the courtroom to a concert. The jury sided with Dolly.

Alec Baldwin was prosecuted for allegedly assaulting a photographer in 1998 who ambushed the star and then-wife Kim Basinger as they brought their daughter home from the hospital after her birth. Baldwin was found not guilty.

Who can forget the riveting case of People vs. O.J. Simpson? Cameras did not record the jury's reaction as they viewed the almost decapitated body of Nicole Brown Simpson in 1995, but courtroom artist Mona Shafer Edwards did.

As Rosie joins, Star may take a dim 'View'

Rosie O'Donnell is about to join 'The View,' according to our sources at ABC. Barbara Walters will deliver the news tonight as she presents a Daytime Emmy Award, they add.

Meredith Vieira is due to replace Katie Couric on NBC's 'Today' show at the end of May, upsetting the special chemistry shared by Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Star Jones Reynolds on the nine-year-old show.

While it's unclear whether Rosie's role will be permanent, the outspoken comedian might rope in the 2.5 million viewers she enjoyed every day on her own talkfest, 'The Rosie O'Donnell Show.'

However, it begs the question of whether there's enough room on that famous couch for Rosie and her nemesis Star.

As we've told you, O'Donnell has been a fierce critic of Jones' spin on her weight loss.
"Star says she's lost that weight through diet and exercise," O'Donnell said last March, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, I'd like to see that b- do a pushup."

And just last month, on her rosie.com blog, the lesbian comic wrote a poem about the incredible shrinking Star:

"Star jones had weight loss surgery/ she had part of her stomach bypassed/ that is how she lost 1/2 herself," O'Donnell wrote. "she refuses to say this/ which is her right/ but we do not have to pretend/ we do not know."

"so star shrinks b4 our eyes/ we know the truth/ but nod as she talks about/ pilates and will power," she added. "i am sure star jones/ beneath the beyonce bravado/ is a scared lil girl/ who grew her body big/ strong and safe."

With his new surgery, DJ AM should now weigh in at roughly 150. Adam followed up his surgery with a stay at the exclusive after-care facility, Sernity - also in Santa Monica. Star Jones spent time at Serenity after her recent breast lift. A rep for Goldstein said, "He's doing fine."

Snoop Dogg Arrested In London Airport

Snoop Dogg was arrested in London last night after allegedly causing disturbance at Heathrow airport.

It has been reported that a fight broke out after the rapper's entourage was first refused entry to the British Airways first class lounge.

Later, they were not permitted to board their flight, which was due to fly to Johannesburg, South Africa.

Police reported that Snoop's party became aggressive and caused minor injuries to seven police officers.

'Police were called at 6:00 pm last night to reports of a disturbance involving 30 people in a business lounge at Terminal 1.The party was told that they would not be permitted to board their flight and officers then attempted to direct the group to baggage reclaim.' A spokesman from Scotland Yard said.

It was also reported that Snoop and his entourage went to duty-free shortly after the incident, and threw bottles of whiskey on the floor and caused a further disturbance.

Police then escorted the group out of the airport.

Six men including Snoop are being detained at a west London police station and are arrested on under the charges of violent disorder.

'Liz Taylor 'close to death''

Source: dailymail

Liz Taylor is facing death after her heart began to fail, it has been reported.

The Oscar-winner, 74, is confined to her bedroom and has apparently planned her funeral.

Insiders say the British-born star would like to be buried next to former husband Richard Burton.

'Liz is inching closer to death every day and she knows it. It is not a pretty picture,' a friend said.
'She's not leaving a lot of money to her children. She wants the bulk of her fortune to go to AIDS research.'

Doctors say patients who suffer from such heart disease could hasten their death by becoming depressed.

New York-based heart specialist Dr Richard Stein, who has not treated the Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? star, said: 'Once a person gives up hope the prognosis is very poor.'"

CNN's Anderson Cooper will become a contributor to '60 Minutes' under a deal he's hammering out with CBS.

Cooper will stay at CNN as the host of 'Anderson Cooper 360' and will contribute occasional reports to '60 Minutes' - which will also air on Cooper's show.

It will be the second time the networks have shared on-air talent. Cooper's CNN stablemate, Christiane Amanpour, contributed to '60 Minutes' for several years.

Reps for CBS and CNN would neither confirm nor deny the deal.

Cooper, who turns 39 in June, would be the youngest '60 Minutes' contributor by far.

He would also add another fresh face to the venerable newsmagazine. Katie Couric, who's jumping to CBS to anchor the 'CBS Evening News,' will also get a '60 Minutes' slot.

Mike Wallace, the face of '60 Minutes,' announced last month that he's retiring from the show.

Wallace is reportedly being wooed by NBC to join its news division.

'Magician David Copperfield robbed after show at Kravis Center'

He made 13 people disappear into thin air during his Kravis Center show Sunday night - but magician David Copperfield couldn't duplicate the feat with armed teens who robbed him and two women near the venue two hours later.

No one was injured in the incident.

The handgun-toting suspects scrammed in a black Malibu with a Kentucky license plate but were nabbed 10 minutes later by West Palm Beach cops.

Behind bars today are three Palm Beach Shores boys, all 17, whose names weren't released because of their age, and 18-year-old Dwayne Riley, known on the streets as The Kentuckian. They were charged with armed robbery and held without bond.

Let’s Start Rebuilding WTC, Years Later!

Huzzah, huzzah! There is a deal to develop the World Trade Center site! Larry Silverstein, George Pataki, Jon Corzine, the Port Authority, and Mike Bloomberg have finally ironed out a plan to enable the rebuilding of the 16-acre plot. This is really showing the terrorists, diving right into rebuilding what they destroyed — only four and a half years after they destroyed it.

There is some sort of symbolism, we’re sure, that this deal to replace the hulking superblock of the old World Trade Center didn’t come till several hours after the death of urbanism guru Jane Jacobs, who passed away in her sleep at a Toronto hospital this morning. But we’ll leave it up to you to decide exactly what the symbolism is.

And here is just a fun line up of the top tall buildings.. And I love it.

Costner exposed as actor behind sex act claim

Kevin Costner has been revealed as the celebrity accused of performing a sex act while having a massage at a prestigious hotel in Scotland, after a tribunal ruled there was not a strong enough reason to keep his name suppressed.

The Hollywood star was accused of taking off his towel during the massage at The Old Course Hotel in St Andrews, Fife, in October 2004, exposing himself and then performing a sex act.
An earlier legal ruling had prevented his identity being revealed, but the tribunal chairman Nicol Hosie ruled that following widespread newspaper and magazine reports outside Britain, as well as internet blogs, which alleged that Costner was the culprit, his name had already fully entered the public domain.

A lawyer acting for the Daily Mail newspaper had argued that Costner's had been published in papers including the Sunday Times in Perth, Australia, The National Enquirer and the Himalaya Times in Nepal.

The 51-year-old actor had been on honeymoon with his new wife in St Andrews when he went for the massage. The 34-year-old spa worker giving the massage claimed she had been unfairly dismissed after she made a complaint to management about Costner's behaviour.

'Jack Kerouac's Home in Hyannis Sold'

HYANNIS, Mass. - The Cape Cod house where Jack Kerouac once lived has been sold for $300,000, but the new co-owner said she wasn't familiar with the Beat Generation author.

'He has a fan now,' Ida Perry told the Cape Cod Times of Kerouac, whose 1957 road-trip novel, 'On the Road,' is considered a classic.

Perry, 40, and her mother, Gladysann Lewis, bought the house last Wednesday. They expect to move into their new home this week.

The 1,344-square-foot, single-story house on Bristol Avenue where Kerouac lived in 1966 was put on the market five months ago by then-owner James Upton, who originally asked $356,00. He had bought the house in 1986 for $115,000.

The property is assessed at $322,000, according to town records.

'We did a walk-through and I was like, `This place is perfect,'' Perry said in Tuesday's editions.

Kerouac married his third wife, childhood acquaintance Stella Sampas, at the house on Nov. 18, 1966. In 1967, Kerouac moved back to Lowell, where he was born. An alcoholic, he died two years later in Florida at age 47.

'Harry Potter' Star Quits School To Focus on Acting

Rupert GrintHarry Potter star Rupert Grint has quit school so he can focus exclusively on acting. The 17-year-old, who plays Harry's Hogwarts pal Ron Weasley in the magical JK Rowling movies, is overjoyed because academic studies have never been his strong point.

He says, 'I've left school quite recently. Thankfully I don't have to do that anymore. It was getting quite hard to juggle the tutoring with the film. I'm not really an academic sort of person so I just thought I'd leave and concentrate more on films.'

Here are transcripts of telephone messages that Sheen left on Richards’ answering machine a year ago when she was pregnant with their second daughter, Lola.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005, 11:28 a.m. Yeah, I just got Laura’s letter regarding everything, blah, blah blah, and I can’t get a hold of my lawyer so I thought I would try to call you directly. Um, it’s really f–king sad. It’s just sad and I am really angry and I don’t think it’s f–king fair, and I don’t know what you’re trying to do and I just, um, am so disappointed in you. I’m so disappointed. You’re such a f–king disappointment. You’re such a f–king asshole and if this time you want to f–king deal with each other, you know, you’re saying one thing and then you do the other and it’s just, you know, f–k you.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005, 12:46 p.m. I guess I should just get used to the fact that you know you fire off your nonsense and your lawyer bulls–t and your f–king emails, and then you don’t answer the phone and, you know, you don’t have the f–king courage or the wherewithal to, like, confront me or deal with me or just be f–king honest and forthright. And I guess I just gotta stop being disappointed by that because that’s just who you are and what you do, and I guess once I accept that I won’t be frustrated by your chickens–t f–king behavior, so whatever. I’m just really f–king mad and you owe me a phone call. OK. ‘Cause, again, if I did the same s–t to you, you’d be f–king furious. All right, so whatever.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005, 1 p.m. Yeah, I just got your other e-mail and I am a little confused because, ah, you told me that was something you only told a couple of people and this and that, and I just — again, you continue to be deceitful and mischievous and sneaky and you’re a f–king liar. OK. You’re a f–king liar so you know what it’s like. . . . F–k you. OK, I hope you rot in f–king hell. You’re a piece of s–t of s–t-f–king liar and I hope you f–king rot in hell. So f–k you. I hope I never f–king talk to you again, you f–king c–t. F–k you. You’re a coward and a liar and a f–king n-gger, all right. So f–k you.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005, 4:08 p.m. Hey, I am going to go home early, so if you wanted to come back early, go ahead. I just hate to leave early and then you come home and then I hear from Laura in a letter that costs me, you know, five grand, that you know I didn’t let you know I was leaving early. So I’m gonna leave early. OK? D–k face. That’s what I’m gonna do. Goodbye.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005, 5:41 p.m. You know, if you don’t have the balls or the courage to f–king call me back after you do your sniveling f–king bulls–t crap through your f–king sniveling bulls–t lawyer. Two pregnant c–ts like plotting against the rest of us. I just think it’s just f–king low you can’t even, like, return my f–king call. You know, it just says so much about you. It just says so much about who you are and I’m not surprised anymore. OK. So whatever. I hope I never talk to you again. You’re a f–king creep. F–k you.

Wednesday, April 20, 2005, 12:50 p.m. You need to call me back. OK. I need to figure out when I am gonna see Sam. What’s going on there? You can’t do these things and then hide. OK. So I am going to meet my lawyer today and I’d like to talk to you ahead of time because there’s some things that you did that I need to know about to discuss, so the least you could do is give me the courtesy of a phone call and don’t be a f–king coward a–hole. If I was doing this to you, you’d be livid. OK. So I’m gonna start doing some s–t and you know, have fun getting a hold of me. OK. If this is how you want to play, fine. Call me.

DENISE ROMANCES HEATHER'S EX?

DENISE Richards used to be best friends forever with Heather Locklear, but not anymore. Richards - who's divorcing Charlie Sheen and recently revealed in court papers she was disgusted by his alleged taste for teenage porn - was kissing and holding hands over the weekend with Locklear's own soon-to-be-ex, Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora. The two enjoyed romantic moments on Laguna Beach (inset), and after a canoodlefest at cozy Los Angeles eatery Le Café, Richie, 46, and Richards, 35, who arrived in separate cars, left together in one. Yesterday, they were looking cozy on the balcony of Sambora's house in Malibu. Denise attended Heather's 44th birthday party at Koi just a few months ago. To give it all a 'Six Degrees of Separation' slant, Heather had a lesbian liplock with Denise on a 2001 episode of 'Spin City,' the sitcom that starred Sheen, and gushed afterwards: 'I have never felt such beautiful soft lips in my life. I fell in love.'

A controversial television seance airing on Monday will claim it has reached the spirit of John Lennon, but viewers will have to pay $9.95 (5.58 pounds) to find out what the peace-loving Beatle has to say.

Sight unseen, the Lennon effort has been attacked by the late Beatle's friends and fans as a tasteless effort to profit from his assassination 25 years ago. But producers say they are hoping to lure an audience that now loves such prime-time network TV shows as 'Ghost Whisperer' and 'Medium.'

The program features what is described as an Electronic Voice Phenomenon, or EVP, that a psychic on the show claims is the disembodied voice of Lennon speaking at a seance in one of his favourite New York restaurants, La Fortuna.

EVP is based on a belief that spirit voices communicate through radio and TV broadcast signals.

On the television show, filming at La Fortuna suddenly stops and a narrator says something odd has happened. They then claim that a mysterious voice can be heard on the voice feed of one of the psychics.

The producers then call in 'EVP specialist' Sandra Belanger to examine the voice and she proclaims it the real deal.

'That's very consistent with a Class A EVP,' she said, regarding the level and clarity of the voice. She also says the voice sounds like how Lennon would have talked.

Reuters was given a preview of the program, 'The Spirit of John Lennon,' on condition that it not reveal what the "voice" said during the taped seance.

Producer Paul Sharratt, who heads Starcast Productions and who calls himself a sceptic, said hearing the voice has made him a believer.

Charlie Sheen Loves Hookers, Children’s Clothing

So Denise Richards’ lawyer went to court today, alleging that Richards’ estranged husband Charlie Sheen has pushed her and threatened to kill her — that is, when he’s not looking at gay and/or underage porn or working on his hooker hobby. Sadly, we doubt anyone in American even blinks at this “revelation,” and even we couldn’t find a humorous enough take on this to merit a quick post.

Until we learned that People magazine has been granted exclusive coverage of tomorrow’s LA launch party for Charlie Sheen’s new line of children’s clothes, Sheen Kids (seriously). Which means they’re obligated to cheerfully give the event space in the magazine, no matter what Sheen’s personal drama may be. Read the fabulous court papers.

Hookers be damned — that little skirt is ADORABLE!

Pitt Sees Green In New Orleans

Enjoy this new still from Brad Pitt's upcoming film Babel, opening October 6, 2006 (limited release). The Associated Press recently interviewed Brad on the announcement about his New Orleans design competition. Brad Pitt called Thursday for people to submit proposals for an environmentally friendly design competition he is sponsoring to rebuild parts of New Orleans devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

'Our goal is to kick off the rebuilding effort. It's certainly long overdue and I can only go from the reports that we get ... that it's behind, absolutely. People are frustrated,' Pitt said by telephone from Namibia.

'We could possibly build something that was better and took into account the historical traditions of the city and the voices of the people and turn this into some kind of good,' the actor added."

A life crumbling in diaries from 'Amer. Pie' star

A bundle of diaries by troubled actress Natasha Lyonne paint a disturbing picture of the oncepromising actress' long downward spiral.

The 27-year-old, best known for her roles in the 'American Pie' movies, has had several public brushes with the bizarre, notably a December 2004 incident in which she was charged with criminal mischief, harassment and trespassing after allegedly threatening to sexually molest a dog belonging to a neighbor in her Gramercy Park building.

She is reportedly in rehab in a Malibu, Calif., facility.

The diaries, some more than a decade old, were found last year in a Dumpster near her apartment after her eviction, along with snapshots of Lyonne and fellow cast members from various movies, and photocopies of her passport and driver's license.

The journals - which were then acquired by David Hans Schmidt, a broker of lurid celebrity memorabilia, including the contents of Paris Hilton's storage locker and the Colin Farrell sex tape - were shown to the Daily News.

They feature streams of pseudo-intellectual gibberish in wildly varied handwriting. The entries are interspersed with sketches, many of which seem to be of Lyonne. The overall portrait that emerges is of an intelligent but highly insecure young woman who is ill at ease with her life in the limelight.

'Sometimes I feel that I'm just too strong, too bold to cohabit this planet,' reads one passage from 1997. 'My loss would be a weight off so many shoulders.'

In another entry dated just a few months later, Lyonne, who began acting as a child in the 1980s, seems to long for anonymity.

'Maybe I'm not a fan of the spotlight after all,' she wrote. 'MTV, NBC, so many people looking at me and what I have to show but nothing [sic].'

Seedy references to sex and drugs, including crack and heroin, are oddly juxtaposed with entries that giddily describe glamorous trips to Cannes and meetings with the Beverly Hills honchos who made her a star.

Even as Lyonne's film career was blossoming, she chronicled the insecurity that apparently drove her to dangerous excess.

"They all say to just be myself," she wrote in 1997. "They don't know I am no one. I wonder if I'll ever really kill myself. I know I will, but at this rate..."

Lyonne often expresses disappointment and even scorn for a parade of friends that, she wrote, "come in and out of my life."

"People who once thought they loved me won't return my calls, find me offensive, will love to watch me fall."

'Angelina Jolie Buying Own Country'

And the 55-year-old entrepreneur is selling parts of the 'world' to anyone rich enough to afford them.

The 30-year-old actress, who is due to give birth early in May, is reportedly planning to turn her new purchase into a fair-trade paradise for hundreds of Africans.

A source said: 'Angelina has been obsessed with Ethiopia ever since she adopted her second child Zahara from there. Her friends are very jealous of her purchase.'

Charlie Sheen ordered away from Denise Richards

Actor Charlie Sheen was ordered on Friday to keep at least 300 feet away from his estranged wife, actress Denise Richards, and their two young daughters after Richards said in court papers he had been abusive and had threatened to kill her.

Sheen, star of the hit CBS television series "Two and a Half Men," denied the charge and the judge agreed to his request that all telephone conversations between the couple be tape recorded.
Sheen was also granted one-day-a-week visitation with his daughters, Sam, 2, and Lola, 10 months, provided it was done under supervision.

Actor Charlie Sheen allegedly swore his new wife Denise Richards to secrecy about his painkiller problems when she found him guzzling Xanax on their honeymoon.

The now estranged couple are currently in the middle of a bitter divorce battle and Richards is revealing her husband's dark secrets in new legal papers, filed last week.

In the documents, Richards writes, 'When we went on our honeymoon, the Respondent took Xanax. Respondent told me not to tell anybody that he was taking Xanax because he told me that in AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), it would be considered breaking his sobriety for him to be taking this drug.'

'David Lee Roth dumped as radio host'

NEW YORK (AP) -- No surprise: David Lee Roth's run as morning radio host is about done. Big surprise: It appears raunchy satellite radio stars Opie and Anthony will replace him on seven CBS Radio stations.

A deal was in the works to dump the ex-Van Halen singer's ratings-deprived program with shock jocks Greg 'Opie' Hughes and Anthony Cumia, according to two people with knowledge of the deal. They spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity pending an official announcement of the agreement next week.

Opie and Anthony were banished from terrestrial radio in 2002 -- oddly enough by their new boss, CBS Radio -- after airing a live account of listeners having sex in New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral. CBS Radio was then known as Infinity Broadcasting.
