Paris appeared at the Venice Film Festival this weekend with her on-again boyfriend, Doug Reinhardt.  Doug was looking very two-dimensional and was airbrushed within an inch of his life.

There were a few other notables there, but I’m willing to bet attendance was down at this year’s festival.  Damn economy.  I’m really, really hoping Eva Mendes hasn’t fallen off the wagon since her rehab stint, but ahhh … well, you can judge for yourself.  Mel Brown was looking very pink and Matt Damon was looking very goofy.  Nicolas Cage — don’t you love it when people get all familiar with him and refer to him as “Nick?” — and a very androgynous looking Tilda Swinton were there as well.

It looks like friendship does, in fact, occasionally end.

Spice Girl Mel B tells British magazine Closer that she is “not in touch much” with Victoria Beckham, even though the two of them live just a few miles apart in LA.

“Victoria and I are very different,” she explains. “People bracket us together because we live in the same city and we’re both interested in fashion. Victoria’s fashion line has been very successful and hopefully mine will be too. But that’s where the similarities begin and end.”

So, rest assured, gentlemen, if you wanna be Melanie Brown’s lover, you don’t have to get with Victoria Beckham.

That actually makes me want to take a quick poll.

Who would you rather get with? Mel B or Victoria Beckham?

Melanie Brown attends a Make-A-Wish Foundation event in London.

“We should have had a recount. That’s what they do in America. They recount votes.”

Geri Halliwell claims Mel B. was robbed of the Dancing with the Stars crown, on stage at the Spice Girls L.A. concert.

Is it just me, or does he look a little weird? Like he’s mildly retarded or something?
