In a stunning and expensive turnaround, OK! magazine yesterday dumped its Anna Nicole Smith poster boy, Larry Birkhead. The glossy was to have featured exclusive coverage of baby Dannielynn's first-birthday party as part of a $1.7 million access deal. But bombshell allegations in a book about Birkhead's custody fight with lawyer Howard K. Stern, set to be released next week, caused OK! to cut the relationship. "My biggest fear is that Larry and Howard may have tricked us all," editor Sarah Ivens said in a statement yesterday. It is strongly rumored that "Blonde Ambition," written by Rita Cosby, will indicate the two men, who both claimed to father the baby, struck a backroom deal. "The newly obtained allegations are detailed, shocking and potentially incriminating," the magazine's publicist said. "It makes it impossible for OK!, in good conscience, to promote this family's highly questionable relationship in our pages."
Larry says OK! is just pissed that he and Dannielynn were on the cover of last week's US Weekly and OK! has been threatening him. I believe that. OK! seems to have a serious case of PMS lately. First they rip apart Britney, now Larry. Meow. On a side note, who didn't think that Larry and Howard had some sort of backroom deal? Not me. I'm sure it involves a lot of money and maybe a little toe tapping. These two are going to exploit that little darling to kingdom come.
“Guys don't like to be told they look nice, pretty, or cute or that they clean up well. We want to feel dirty, rugged, and, most important, that you feel safe when you are in our company. So when your guy finally tries on something that you like, tell him that he looks like James Bond or Tony Montana”
A&P Grocery store chain is suing two brothers for over $1 million. The boys, who are in college, made a parody rap video for school set in the store's produce department. The video, which was made when customers were not in the store and does not include harming actual store veggies, was posted on YouTube where it set off a series of customer complaints leading to the lawsuit. The boys have already been fired from the produce department. They're currently looking for a lawyer.
Here is my favorite controversial produce video:
Recently deceased Hotelier Leona Helmsley left her dog, Trouble, $12 Million. Leona's precious maltese dog was given a trust fund that was made public yesterday. Leon's brother, Alvin Rosenthal, was also given millions and named as Trouble's caretaker. Trouble will also be buried next to Leona in a luxurious mausoleum. The mausoleum must also be steam-cleaned once a year.
Leona left $5 Million each to 2 of her four grandchildren, but they must visit their father's grave site once a year or they don't get a dime. She didn't leave one penny to her other 2 grandchildren for "reasons they are aware of." Damn, I am all about dogs, but this shit is just crazy! I wonder if Trouble got a black AMEX?
Ummmm, maybe someone should tell Miss Spears that it is great if you want to wear your favorite shirt out for a day filled with shopping, but maybe, just maybe include your shirt with some jeans...
After the Bush Library reportedly backed out of a portrait they had commissioned from British artist Jonathan Yeo, the 36-year-old artist went forward with one anyway, a collage created from fragments of 100 porn magazines. The work was unveiled yesterday at London's Lazarides Gallery in Soho.
According to the gallery, "Yeo was commissioned to undertake a portrait of US President George W Bush, but was later told his services were not required. He decided to continue the commission on his own, and Tuesday’s unveiling will reveal the fruit of his labours. In a few weeks time we will be releasing a limited edition screen print of the Bush collage." Oh man, I would hang this in my house any day!
George Hotz, of Glen Rock, New Jersey, said he had reached the deal with CertiCell, a Louisville, Kentucky-based mobile phone repair company. Hotz posted on his blog that he traded his modified iPhone for "a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones." "This has been a great end to a great summer," Hotz wrote. The 17-year-old Hotz said he will be sending the three new iPhones to the three online collaborators who helped him divorce Apple Inc's popular product from AT&T's network. The job took 500 hours, or about 8 hours a day since the iPhone's June 29 launch. Hotz made the deal with Terry Daidone, co-founder of CertiCell, who also promised the teen a paid consulting job. "We do not have any plans on the table right now to commercialize Mr. Hotz' discovery," Daidone said in a statement. [source]
Lucky sonofabitch. I'll take apart my stupid pink razr if someone wants to give me a car and a new job. Hell, I'll do a lot more than just take apart a phone. In fact, I'd do just about anything to have someone just give me a new car. Bob Barker was probably my best bet. I guess I'll have to ask Drew Carey now....

Ever wonder what your grandma and grandpa are doing in the bedroom? I know, me either but researchers decided to take a look at the sex lives of senior citizens and they came up with some interesting results:
Many older Americans routinely engage in vaginal intercourse, oral sex and masturbation, a landmark study into a long-taboo subject reported Wednesday. Sexual activity reported among the 3,005 men and women who participated in the survey did decrease with age, particularly among the oldest participants -- from 73 percent among those 57 to 64 years of age to 53 percent among those 65 to 74 years of age to 26 percent among those 75 to 85 years of age. Of those who were active, most said they had sex two to three times a month or more. Among those who said they were sexually active, about half of men and women reported at least one sexual problem that bothered them, including low desire (43 percent), difficulty with vaginal lubrication (39 percent) and inability to climax (34 percent).The most common problem reported by men was difficulty gaining or maintaining an erection (37 percent).About one in seven men (14 percent) said they were using drugs like Viagra to improve their performance.

In last month's Elle magazine Terrence Howard says "If they're using dry paper, they aren't washing all of themselves. It's just unclean. So if I go in a woman's house and see the toilet paper there, I'll explain this. And if she doesn't make the adjustment to baby wipes, I'll know she's not completely clean."

CNN is reporting a 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival. The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it. "There's a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage," zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters. Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans. Dammmmnn, Me thinks Winnie the Pooh likes more than just honey.

I’m going to assume that working at a waste water treatment plant is a shitty job (pun intended) but researchers just found a way to make it a tad more interesting: giving an entire communities drug tests using just a teaspoon of wastewater from a city's sewer plant. Now don’t get your dirty cocaine-filled panties in a bunch, they won’t be able to single out drug users…as of now. Through this testing they will be able to give an overview of the community drug use - giving federal agents information about the spread and use of drugs. …and give some asshole politician the idea to just arrest a whole community. 
One of the early results of the new study showed big differences in methamphetamine use city to city. One urban area with a gambling industry had meth levels more than five times higher than other cities. Yet methamphetamine levels were virtually nonexistent in some smaller Midwestern locales. One fairly affluent community scored low for illicit drugs except for cocaine. Cocaine and ecstasy tended to peak on weekends and drop on weekdays, while methamphetamine and prescription drugs were steady throughout the week. Sounds like common sense really – I don’t know if you need to play with pee to come up with that. [source]
“I find it funny to watch people patronise me or think I’m dumb because I’m blonde and young. “I know I have a higher IQ than 99% of the brunettes out there. It gives me more of a sense of accomplishment when I achieve things after people have underestimated me.”

It’s been almost four years since Star Jones Reynolds walked into a hospital and had gastric bypass surgery performed. But after all that time, the defunct ‘View’ co-host is still unclear why she kept it a secret.
“I had always been this girl out there who said I would die fat and happy,” she told ABC’s Diane Sawyer on ‘Good Morning America.’ “What a lie.”
And despite being a bold and often outspoken personality on screen, Star said she needed extensive therapy to start talking openly about her weight loss surgery.
“I wish I could explain what emotionally crippling control is,” she said. “It took me a long time in therapy to be honest with you, to open up.”

She was born on April 20, 1893. Weren't they still discovering continents back then? She grew up on a farm before becoming a teacher. She taught in a two-room school in Smithland for several years until she wed her childhood sweetheart and next-door neighbor, Earl Parker, in 1911.The same year, she graduated from Franklin College with a degree in education. But as was the tradition of that era, her teaching career ended with her marriage. She began the arduous life of a farm wife, preparing meals for as many as 12 men who worked on her husband's farm. Parker had two sons, both of whom she has outlived. Sadly, her husband died in 1938.
I called my 87 year old grandmother to tell her about this story and she said "She still walks?!? Amazing. But what's more amazing is the change she's been able to see in society." Reflective little one, isn't she? Anyway, just to put this into context - There were only 22 Presidents before she Edna born. Grover Cleveland took office for the second time the year she was born. Some other nifty things that happened in 1893:
Courtney Love on her recent extreme body makeover in Harper's Bazaar:
“I’ve lost a lot of weight, and I have done it through being quite disciplined… Some people think it’s about weight loss, but it’s about detoxing. I hate reading magazines where the actresses are saying 'broccoli and fish, broccoli and fish.’ You liars. You bulimic liars.”
So last week Amy Winehouse went on a binge that uncovered the mysterious ingredients of a hospitalization for "exhaustion." They are as follows: smoking heroin + cocaine + ecstasy + ketamine (animal tranquillizers) + vodka/whiskey x 3 days = exhaustion. Confirming the code name for overdose.

The other day Dino covered Lindsay Lohan's upcoming article in Elle where she talks about how she's super responsible and stuff and would never drink and drive. Now there's a video of her interview where you can hear the coke drip down the back of her throat while she's trying to conjure up some big words to describe how she would love to design bags. Coke baggies, maybe. Handbags - I think not.
That Lindsay Lohan. So eclectic and evolving. Like OMG. Her new movie is super duper totally scary. You know what else is scary? Her parents.
Lohan's former bodyguard of three years, Tony Almeida, says neither Dina nor Michael Lohan provided any structure for Lindsay when she was growing up and that both were wild, abusive, neglectful partiers who needed to keep their "cash cow" daughter working to pay their bills. Almeida, who worked for Lindsay from 2002 to 2005, told the new issue of In Touch, "From a young age, she dealt with her father's physical, emotional and drug abuses as well as her mother's drinking."
Once, when Lindsay was 16, Michael flew into a rage while driving and "slammed on the brakes and dragged her out of the car, pushed her up against the hood, screamed at her and called her a slut. This was on the Long Island Expressway! I got in the middle of it and pulled him off." Meanwhile, Dina often "let her do whatever she wanted, just to keep her happy and working . . . [At her 16th birthday party] Lindsay drank whatever she wanted - I saw her drinking beer and mixed drinks with my own eyes [without Dina's intervention]."As Lindsay's manager, Dina - who was desperate to become a star herself - received 10 percent of her income. "Lindsay was the family cash cow - and she resented it," Almeida claims. "They counted on her to pay their bills . . . I saw Lindsay exhausted, begging her mother for some time off."
Young Lindsay's parents looked the other way as she began a life of boozing, boys and drugs. When she was 15, they allowed her to share a room with her then-14-year-old boyfriend, Aaron Carter, at Loews in

Honestly, like 45 seconds before her arrest, she opened up about her first rehab stint, Calum Best (some model dude), caretakers and idols in Elle magazine's September issue. The interview took place 36 hours before her arrest in May on suspicion of driving under the influence.
After that arrest, Lohan, who turned 21 on July 2, entered Malibu's Promises rehab center, which she left July 13 after completing a 45-day program. She was arrested July 24 and booked on suspicion of felony cocaine possession, misdemeanor DUI and driving with a suspended license. Lohan's lawyer, Blair Berk, says the actress is getting treatment. Some highlights from Elle:
•Her January rehab stint. "I was glad I went, because I needed to get away from everyone. … And I learned a lot there."
•Saying "I'll never do …" "You're setting yourself up for a disaster. I never say never."
•Who takes care of her. "Jenni (Munro, one of her assistants), my mom and Leslie (Sloane-Zelnick, her publicist)."
•Relationship with British model Calum Best. "He's me in male form. We're very similar. Stubborn, rebellious, very smart, coy, a little bit narcissistic."
•Whom she relates to in Hollywood. "Ann-Margret. Marilyn Monroe. … Marilyn exudes sex appeal. She was such an innocent sort. … That was the tragic side of it."
Now, if she could only get pregnant, all her problems would melt away. Just ask Nicole.Elton John has some advice on how to deal with what he sees as a dearth of good music today: shut down the internet!
Can anyone reading this post even think of one person that's purchased an Elton John album in the last five years??
