Lauren Conrad was on The View yesterday to talk about L.A. Candy, the book she wrote. Or as Beet likes to say, the book she “wrote.”
Either way, in a manner that was so inappropriately solemn and grave, Lauren admitted (at about 0:47 on the clip) that The Hills is totally faked. I just wanted to scream, “Lauren! It’s not like you’re confessing that you figured out how to split the atom. You didn’t unearth the mystery of the pyramids. This is The Hills we’re talking about!”
Dina Lohan has once again headed to the interview circuit to plea for her daughter’s privacy. Because there’s really no better way to ensure anonymity than to be contacting all major media outlets.
Dina speaks of her daughter’s apparent inability to keep from being hacked. “Last month her personal cell was posted online and now her phone messages have been hacked. This must stop. She is a 22-year-old girl who needs to live her life in peace. The tabloids need to leave her alone with all the lies and reporting with no proof.” Yes, Dina, the tabloids need to leave her alone. And what better way than by you contacting People magazine to talk about your kid?
Mother of the Year also defends her daughter in regards to the Elle U.K. jewel theft, saying that accusations are “defamatory, false and unfair.”
Lindsay is such a victim. Always and in every way.
As Beet told you yesterday, the Gosselins have an important announcement to make. It’s a forgone conclusion that they’re announcing their divorce despite the fact that Jon still wears his wedding band while sparking up his mysterious looking cigarettes. God, they are really keeping this sham going right until the bitter end. Oh, and I’m warning everyone right now, if their “important announcement” is that they’ve decided to separate, you can’t even prepare yourself for the fit I’m going to pitch. They’ve been separated for months and months.
Now, a Gawker reader reports, “I was at my friends apt at trump towers on 66th and riverside blvd….. we were in her apt… then left to go to dinner… in the hallway was the realtor of the building and she was with JON from jon and kate plus 8. It was CLEARLY him. He had bloodshot eyes. We all rode the elevator together. He was looking at an apt on the 8th floor.” Was Jon Gosselin really apartment hunting at Trump Towers in…Manhattan? I understand that Jon is really checked out and just wants to smoke joints and screw college girls, but would he leave the area where his eight kids live to move to New York City? Is this the only place where he could find an apartment large enough to house all the cameras necessary to film his weekend visits? Will I be able to tolerate Kate’s weekly, “I’m here. I’m doing this. He’s not. I do everything for my kids,” tirades any longer? When the divorce is final, will there be a new show titled Kate & a Date Plus 8? Jon Movin’ On Without His Spawn?
So. Many. Questions. Monday night can’t come soon enough.
You know what? This is exactly what needed to happen to Dakota. She’s in LA filming Runaways with the coolest girl in school, Kristen Stewart, and the two seem to have gotten awfully chummy during this time. I’ve been waiting for years for this perfect little child to release that dark, dirty, tabloid-friendly side that I know she has deep inside her. I think K-Stew’s gonna be the one to release the dragon — Puff, the Magic Dragon, if ya catch my drift.
And yet, I’m torn. There’s a part of me that hopes — and kind of believes — that it’s just a matter of time before Dakota’s getting pulled out of clubs with her eyes half-open, and there’s a part of me that still feels really protective of the little girl she used to be, and hopes she can transition from child actor to adult actor without having to do more with lines than read them.
The band’s former lead vocalist — the huge-voiced Amy Lee — left the group to pursue other projects, so now they’re teaming up with Idol sixth-place finisher Carly Smithson to form a new band, The Fallen.
“I kept getting told that ‘you don’t have the rock voice, you can’t do rock music,’ ” Smithson told the Los Angeles Times. “But it’s everything I am. It’s everything I listen to. I’m not the regular girl next door.”
The band will debut their first single on June 22, on their website.
Above find Carly doing one of Evanescence’s hits, “Bring Me to Life,” on the Idol tour. What do you think? Can she replace Amy?
J-Love may have wormed her slimy little way into Wendie’s heart, but I continue to carry my distaste for her. And I am EXTREMELY SCARED for women everywhere now that I hear she’s writing a book about dating.
With plenty of dating experience under her belt, Jennifer Love Hewitt has decided to write a book, titled The Day I Shot Cupid, addressing romantic relationships that will include everything from tips on text-flirting and how to start over after a breakup.
“I thought it was time to share the real story of what I’ve learned navigating the dating waters.” Hewitt says in a statement from Voice publishers. “Hopefully, in addition to having a good laugh, women reading this will learn from some of my hard lessons.”
Um, I will be interested in Jennifer Love Hewitt’s book when she calls it The Day I Got Engaged to a Man and Then Actually Married Him. Because, look, I’ve been on a lot of dead-end dates, too. I’ve dated a lot of men and then realized that it wasn’t going to work out in the long run. But I never got engaged to the dudes. And it’s a mistake that everyone is entitled to make once, but how many damn times have you been engaged now, Love? And then broke it off? I will take dating advice from you the same day I take fashion tips from Chloe Sevigny.
The book — if you dare to read it — will come out in March 2010.
Well, that’s sure not how I ever smoked a cigarette.
I have seen people smoke pot that way.
Just saying.
We told you earlier in the day that Jon was spotted in Manhattan smoking a cigarette, but I’m getting the distinct feeling that’s not the only thing he smokes.
Check out these pics of Jon Gosselin puffing away at something outside the family’s house in Reading, Pa. He also greets a woman with a hug outside their home.
