Be careful who you treat like shit on your way to the top... They just might write a book. "Jane, who had recently graduated from the High School of Performing Arts, was a few years younger than Nancy and was the daughter of a soap actor and a plastic-surgery victim who had divorced. Nancy let Jane live rent-free in her Village apartment for a few months. "Nancy said Jane, who was then working at a burger joint, was obsessed with her looks, and would give herself bikini waxes while lying upside-down on the couch. The pair went on auditions, on diets, and to aerobics classes together. Jane advised Nancy to try and be 'more f—able' on auditions, and to buy chicken cutlets at the Food Emporium to stuff her bra. Jane iced her nipples before auditions, and lamented her big butt and her nose, which she said 'came from her Greek half.' "Jane moved to Los Angeles, got liposuction, a nose job and a hairline adjustment, and lost a lot of weight after going on NutriSlim. Nancy recounted a trip to L.A. where she asked to stay with her old friend, but instead Jane named some hotels, telling Nancy not to be so desperate, because it's unattractive, especially in a town like L.A."

Of course there's the Nanny. And here's the ummm... well, the jean shorts. Not quite the outfit I'd choose for swimming in the ocean but hey what do I know.
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - US superstar Liza Minnelli has sold her late father Vincente Minnelli's Beverly Hills mansion for 3.5 million dollars with her elderly stepmother still inside it, a newspaper reported. Oscar-winning director Minnelli, who died in 1986, left the house to his daughter with the stipulation that his widow, the now 98-year-old Lee Minnelli, be allowed to live in it for the rest of her life. Under the terms of the sale reported by the Los Angeles Times on Sunday, Lee Minnelli will stay on in the 522 square-meter (5,800 square-foot) home and the new owners will hold off on plans to renovate it. "She still lives there," real estate agent Sheila Rose told the Los Angeles Times. "Liza inherited the house with Lee, now 98, in it." Lee Minnelli sued Liza in 2002 claiming abuse of the elderly and breach of contract after the Oscar-winning "Cabaret" actress put the house on the market. But in May the same year Lee Minnelli dropped her suit, in which she alleged the singer had abused her by selling her home, cutting off the electricity and sacking her staff, saying "I can't sue Liza." The house, built in 1925 and home to Liza Minnelli when she was a young woman, has been in escrow ever since "because of issues concerning the living arrangements," Rose told the Times. The unnamed buyers will "eventually move in and refurbish the house for themselves," Rose said. Minnelli's representatives could not immediately be reached Monday to confirm the story. Liza is famed for her role as Sally Bowles in 1972's "Cabaret," which won her the best actress Oscar, while her father won his Academy Award for directing 1958's "Gigi," starring Leslie Caron.

I don't really get it. Are they supposed to look sexy? They look like two four year olds playing dress up. Their heads are so out of proportion with the rest of their bodies that they look like they could fall over at any moment. I really don't understand the fascination with these two. Please someone explain it to me
I honestly don't think I have ever seen Kelly Clarkson wear anything that looks good on her. Who is her stylist? If you have a lot downstairs and nothing upstairs then this is not the dress for you.
Who would Fishstick hook up with if she got a "free pass"? Turns out, if she ever got a "free pass" to indulge a crush, "it would be (with) someone like Phil Selway, my musical hero. He's the drummer for Radiohead," she said on indie station 103.1's Camp Freddie show. "I admire him so much."
US Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta has slammed Britney Spears for driving with her infant son on her lap. The government official made his comments during an event at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania yesterday, to mark the start of Child Passenger Safety Week. Mineta says, "Recent photos of Britney Spears driving with her infant son on her lap are troubling. And while Ms Spears has acknowledged her mistake, her actions still send the wrong message to millions of her fans." Mineta chided Spears for being "irresponsible," as he announced a new initiative to improve child car-seat safety. He adds, "No matter who you are, there's absolutely no excuse for this display - not instinct, not fear, not even reckless paparazzi. It's irresponsible to compromise the safety of a child for the sake of the moment." Spears apologized for her actions last week after she was spotted driving through Malibu, California to escape photographers with her infant son, Sean Preston, on her lap. Courtesy of imdb
I've never been a fan of Fishstick's. It's not even that I hate her as an actress. I can watch her in a movie and not be repulsed but it's the opposite whenever I see a picture of her out and about or read an interview of hers. Let's just say, if we knew each other in real life we'd be enemies. I think we've all had the disadvantage of knowing a few Gwyneth's in our lives. I found some pictures of her lavish 30th birthday party. I almost peed my pants looking at some of the names of the people who were there. Princess Beatrice Boromeo Princess Marzotto Diane von Furstenberg Christian Louboutin Arielle Dombasle Valentino Giametti (yes that Valentino) Giancarlo Giametti Princess Mette-Marit of Norway Dolores Chaplin Loulou de la Falaise Maria Teresa Betty Catroux Daphnee Guiness Arielle Dombasle L'wren Scott
Definitely no John Smith's drinking Bud at that party . I mean, come on! Could there be a little social climbing going on? Lately Miss Platrow can't seem to keep her foot out of her mouth. Which I find pretty ironic considering she had accused Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt of talking to the press too much about their relationship. "Hollywood relationships need to be kept private", she stated. So I guess the rule is; you can talk about other people's relationships to the press just not your own? I think if Gwyneth actually had the hots for her husband she would find it harder not to talk about him. There doesn't seem to be a lot of passion there, if you know what I mean. Here are a few recent quotes from Fishstick. You'll find lots of back-handed compliments, passive aggression and tons of condescension. Her daughter is showing signs of an English accent already. "Her A's are very English - she says 'war-ter' and 'war-lk'. She says mummy instead of mommy. I don't mind that. I will if she starts saying 'basil' and 'pasta' the English way, which really drives me nuts."
But we have to put up with her pronouncing Anthony as Antony? "Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon, you think, another romantic comedy? You know." She sighs. "You see her in something like Walk the Line and think, God, you're so great. And then you think, why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies? But of course it's for money and status.
You better be careful Gwyneth. Lookat what happened to the last person who pissed Reese off. "I basically stopped making money from acting in 2002. All the things I've done since then have been things I've really wanted to do, and I have not made money from them." The Estée Lauder gig pays for her art just as Calvin Klein, she says, pays for Scarlett Johansson to work with Woody Allen, "and never have to do a movie where they put her in a bikini and give her a gun". Oh, give me a break. Didn't she save any money from all that work she did in her 20s? "Good question." She laughs. "I spent it on shoes. No. Well, I had saved money, but I bought a house, and I never made Julia Roberts kind of money. I made really great money, but not the kind of money ..."
Nice, justifying your cheesy Estee Lauder gig by dragging Scarlett Johansson into the mud. And I take offence to her saying she hasn't made any money since 2002. Sorry honey, the single mother working the midnight shift stocking shelves at Walmart and still comes up short at the end of the month can say she doesn't make any money.
Don't you feel boring at parties? "No. I think they're the idiot people and I'm the normal person. But I don't really go to parties where ... I don't really have drunk friends. My friends are kind of adult; they have a drink. But they hold their liquor. I think it's incredibly embarrassing when people are drunk. It just looks so ridiculous. I find it very degrading. I think, ooh, you're really degrading yourself right now, to be this pissed out in public."
I don't know what you're talking about. You don't look idiotic at all!
"I don't spend the time I used to when I was single having a massage or a facial. I do things when it's an emergency - when I look like a man, I have a wax!"
Poor Baby, someone please treat Gwyneth to a day at the spa. We wouldn't want her looking like a man or going without pampering. I'm surprised the UN isn't working on a humanitarian award for her. Surely, there must be something in the works for her great scarifice.
"I love living in the UK! Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up the pram and put it in the back of the cab without collapsing it."
Well now, if that's not civilised then I don't know what is.
Beyoncé Knowles is reportedly being bombarded with hate mail for selling animal fur in her fashion range.
The curvy singer has been sent sacks of letters since her label, Dereon, started selling clothes made of rabbit and chinchilla fur - and teddy bears made of mink.
Furious animal rights campaigners have even threatened to leave carcasses outside the star's home, according to a report in Britain's News of The World newspaper.

Hollywood veteran Robert Redford fears his Sundance Film Festival is growing too big, after seeing celebrities like Paris Hilton attend the event. Redford hosted his 25th annual festival in Park City, Utah, last month, which was started in 1979 to showcase low-budget, independent films and talent. However, as the festival grows larger and larger every year, some celebrities have begun turning up just for parties, even though they have nothing to do with the films on show. Redford tells Newsweek magazine, "To the outside world, it's a big fat market where you have people like Paris Hilton going to parties. Now, she doesn't have anything to do with anything. I think the festival is close to being out of control." Despite Redford's disdain for the socialite, Hilton has attended the parties of Sundance every year since 2004.
