For the second year in a row, Amy Winehouse has pulled out of her performance at the Rock en Seine Festival outside of Paris.

“Amy Winehouse was regrettably unable to perform at the Rock en Seine show in Paris, due to illness,” her spokesman Chris Goodman said. “She was taken ill at her house and wasn’t able to travel to France for the concert.”

The concert organizers were given two hours’ notice that their headliner was not going to be showing up.

OMG.

Why does anybody book this bitch for anything these days? There’s like a 20% chance she’ll show up. Just skip it, guys.

Forty-three-year-old hottie Elizabeth Hurley shows off her tits and her super-rich hubby at the Venice Film Festival.

Not a bad life, dear.

Adrianne Curry and her tiny husband Christopher Knight are still going strong.

Unbelievable. Who would have thought these two would last so long? I’m genuinely happy for them.

The happy couple showed up to the grand opening of Sashi: Sushi + Sake Lounge in Manhattan Beach on Thursday.

Also: Is Adrianne preggers?

So Katy Perry’s pretty much been the princess of this summer’s music scene with her ginormous hit, “I Kissed a Girl.” I finally got around to listening to her entire album on Rhapsody, and came across this song, and I was like, “Dude, how do I know this awesome song?”

And then it hit me: it was my MySpace song like three years ago. I have no idea where or how I came across it, but I’d instantly fallen in love. Has this song been around for that long? Where would I have heard it? Do I need to start telling people that I was into Katy Perry before anyone else? Am I that cool?

At an event to promote her new fragrance in the UK.

Hi guys! I’m back from vacay! Which was wonderful! But you know how awful it is when you get the most relaxing massage ever and then get in your car to head home and hit terrible traffic? And you’re like “Fuckin’ a, this shit just un-did all my relaxation?”

Michael Lohan is my traffic jam.

What kind of parasitic slime uses the death of his own father to diss his ex-wife, lie about his daughter and satiate his sick need for fame?

Oh, yes. Michael Lohan.

So Michael’s father (Lindsay’s grandfather) died, he issued this statement to OK! magazine:

“My father just, literally, died in my arms. I notified all my kids and my lawyer notified Dina’s attorney. Let’s see if she has the decency and respect to bring my kids to the wake and funeral. THIS will show her true colors! Thus, not even a call. But that’s par for the course with Dina! She didn’t even send a card or visit when he was sick.”

OMG! Does he even realize how fucking insane this sounds? Allow me to explain:

Michael Lohan’s To-Do List After Death of Father:

1) Call Michael Jr.
2) Call Lindsay
3) Call Ali
4) Call Cody
5) Call OK! magazine
6) Photograph dead father from several angles in case anyone’s interested in buying the pics

This man is SICK SICK SICK.

And then he sells this bullshit to E!:

“I was holding him, laying in bed with him, when he died. Lindsay did reach out to me. She sent me a message this morning. She said, ‘Now papa has found peace and maybe we can find peace in our lives, too.’ “

This comes just a day after Lindsay publicly begged her father to keep the media out of her life.

So Lindsay’s taking to her MySpace blog to fight back. Today, she writes:

just going to put it out there, i have had no contact with my father.
and i hope he uses this time to keep mourn the loss of his father, rather than taking the time to talk to the media about me or anyone in my life.
better he just keeps his mouth shut.

on another note-
im having fun on the set of Ugly Betty, the cast is great, the crew is great, and it’s nice to be at work, doing what i love to do!

xoxox

Listen, Lindsay, some free advice: Have your publicist contact every major tabloid publication out there: OK!, People, E!, News of the World, InTouch, everyone. Tell them that anyone who runs a quote from or story about Michael Lohan will never, ever, at any point in the future, receive a quote, an interview or any manner of exclusive with you. You’re the one who’s actually famous here, sweetie. Take back control.

Wow. Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska was elected in 2006. And now she’s on the McCain ticket.

I knew nothing about her before the pick, and a quick reading of her wiki reveals only the following:

Life long member of the NRA

Runner up for Ms. Alaska in 1984

Pro-Life

AK is one of the only states with a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

Two terms on Wasilla City Council

Beloved in Alaska (80% approval rating)

Her oldest son named Track is set to be deployed to Iraq in September as a member of the U.S. Army Infantry.

She’s getting ready to speak on CNN. On one hand I’m thrilled that now whoever wins the streak of only white dudes will be broken. On the other hand I’m not sure strategically how Palin could be mistaken for Clinton.

But it will be interesting to see how it all plays out…

He is addicted to sex. Ummmm, what????

This is a random piece of news.

“I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction,” he said in a statement released through his lawyer, Stanton “Larry” Stein. “I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”

Larry, tell us more! Did playing an oversexed guy on “Californication” make you addicted to sex? Have you always been this way? Was it the aliens? Is is porn? Other women????

I hate these weird cryptic statements…I want the dirty details.
