Melrose Place: Drama begining before the show starts

Colin Egglesfield & Ashlee Simpson have already gotten the boot from WB's Melrose Place revival. Since Ashlee was one of the biggest names amongst the cast that had some observers asking themselves - and each other - "WTF?"

Now the producers are saying that this is the result of a plot development. However sources on the set have over heard Ashlee having it out with MP alum and current castmember Heather Locklear. Ashlee was their big name, but they wanted Heather from the original because she was a big draw and breing in former fans during those first and most important weeks after a TV show airs. That's when the rating decide whether you live or die. Since the producers are betting the farm on Locklear, Ashlee was the one who had to go. So don't bother looking for the younger Simpson sister when you tune into the new and improved Melrose Place! Amanda has claimed her first victim!

Angelina Jolie Slept With Mother's Boyfriend When She Was 16

Angelina Jolie loved her mother. She must have said that publicly 100's of times. She also loved her mother's boyfriend!



I seem to remember her saying that she would never take another woman's man because she knew what it was like when her father left her mother. Of course that was back when she wasn't stealing Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston.

Taylor Swift is in shit!

Taylor Swift became a media darling after jackass Kanye West interrupted her acceptance speech at the VMA's. That left Kanye making apology after apology and contemplating a retreat in India. Meanwhile Taylor was the toast of the town and appearing on every day time talk show going. Well Taylor may be about to learn that the winds of publicity can blow hot and cold fast.

17 year old Taylor was at a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed party at Katy Perry's when a young fan hopped up to get a picture with her. Taylor was happy to oblige though it might have been better for her if she hadn't. That's cause the young fan, AJ English, was wearing a shirt with a swastika scrawled on it. The situation was made even worse when Taylor was pictured with JH written on the front of her pretty dress. Given the context that had some people wondering whether JH stood for Jew Hater.

Epic Fail

So is sweet innocent Taylor some kind of a closet Michael Richards? The jury is still out on that but at least Taylor has an explanation. For on the thing she insists that the JH on her dress stood for Julianne Hough, a friend of Swift's (I wonder how that last name is pronounced?). The swastika is more difficult to explain, but apparently there's an answer for that too. AJ English - the young man wearing the offensive T Shirt has tweeted that it wasn't a Nazi symbol, but an X that got corrupted over the course of a drunken evening. He goes on to say that he is not a racist and that he does not support the white supremacist agenda. He then went on to tweet 'Front page of TMZ.... sorry Taylor...'

Taylor Swift is a jackass

Taylor's publicist has stated that this is getting blown way out of proportion. He points out that Swift had her picture taken with 100's of people that night. She can't be expected to keep track of everyone who had a large bright red swastika on the front of their shirt. After all Swift is only human. Though it should be said that most humans would know a swastika if they saw one, and might even comment that it was 'not cool' before refusing to be photographed next to a guy wearing one. However Barack Obama is on record as saying that she seems like a perfectly nice person and that's good enough for me!



PS. the crack investigative team over at the gossiprocks forum have located AJ English's Myspace page - lo & behold there's a swastika - or an X that got perverted - on it too!

10 Questions with Shakira and Tracy Morgan

Chaz Bono loves being a man

Chaz Bono was born Chastity Bono and is the only child of Sonny Bono by Cher. That should be enough to get you a certain amount of attention. Chaz aroused even more interest when she revealed that she was a lesbian. Then there were her documented substance issues. Most recently Chaz announced that she's turning in her girls' club membership and is going through gender reassignemnt. She's becoming a he.

So how's this radical new change working out for the former Chastity Bono? Well Chaz has announced that he loves being a man. Says CB "I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me," he says. "I believe that gender is something between your ears, not between your legs. That is something I discovered in the early '90s. It was just a long process of being comfortable enough to do something about it." While sex might be between your ears (unless you're doing it right!), Chaz is also keen on the physical changes: "It lowered my voice," he says. "Fat redistributes, muscle growth, hair growth, sex drive increases."

Chaz even claims that manning up has helped him with his addiction issues: "It's a long process going back almost a decade. I got clean and sober in 2004 and I couldn't have done this before that." Chaz attributes this to finally becoming the person he was supposed to be. I only hope that this works out for him. It'll be tough to fix should he decided down the road that he made a mistake. On the other hand even after her gender reassignment is complete she's still have had less plastic surgery than her mother.

Talented British actress Julia Sawalha is best known for playing Jennifer Saunders' uptight daughter Saffy in the comedy Absolutely Fabulous. She has done some other work like Press Gang, a TV version of Pride and Prejudice, and Lark Rise to Candleford. She also has a couple of sisters. The other Sawalha girls got together recently for the cooking show 'A Taste of My Life with Julia Swalha'. The girls reminisced about their childhood as they prepared a cake similar to those Julia used to get on her birthdays as a girl.



Now here's some food for thought.

Tom Cruise puts more pressure on wife Katie Holmes

More Tom Cruise Katie Holmes baby related drama. It's the usual: Tom feels that Katie needs to be pregnant (that line is suspiciously like this is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you), Katie feels that Tom needs to be more concerned with her feelings that his own. So that stand off has lead to the following tabloid cover!

It's great that Tom is so involved with his family. Maybe this time he might settle for another won of those smart matching his and hers jogging suits?

Give him a break. He's got a kid to support and Sarah Palin is currently unemployed. I hear that the former Alaska governor is even on Linkedin in an attempt to find a suitable position. If she's looking for an unsuitable position then Bob Guccione might be interested in doing a sequel to Nailin Palin.

Pamela Anderson takes mini dress snow boarding

Still working hard to pay off those platinum pool tiles

What does Pamela Anderson wear snow boarding? Pamela has shown up in public wearing everything but a diaper. Her ensembles have two constants: they're trashy and their revealing. So using some basic extrapolation that it Pammy goes snow boarding she will strike a balance between shock value and skin exposure. That usually adds up to a consistent "m'eh". In this case is some high end snow boarding boots and what could be a thrift shop mini dress (but without undies). Now how did this girl ever find herself in a trailer park? Incidentally Pamela was participating in an event to promote the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and as usual promote herself.

Shauna Sand is vivid and livid

Playmate Shauna Sand got hot and bothered recently. The problem was with a film company called Vivid Entertainment. Vivid specializes in adult entertainment videos, beter known as porno. They released a sex tape of Shauna whihc she wasn't too pleased baout. Shauna claims that the sex tape was home made and for personal use. Further more she claims that Vivid illegally aquired the video, and so has no right to distributed it, or profit from her embarrassment. So naturally she sued.

Vivid chairman Steven Hirsh insists that he got hat tape fair and square. He not only swore to that, but trotted out a handwriting analyst to confirm that the signature on the paperwork was in fact Shauna's. The analysis must've been conclusive because when faced with the evidence Shauna withdrew her suit. That's basically an admission that the signature on the release forms is hers. Oh well, this stuff happens, especially to professional entertainers. Keep you chin up Shauna, unless there are cameras around and you're in a situation where you don't want anyone to see your face.

Balloon Boy now officially a hoax

Now how could the week start with anyone other than Richard Heene Science Defective?



So Richard Heene's former "researcher" has taken the liberty of diagnosising his former friend and boss on national TV. He describes the Science Defective as having some 'bipolarism'. At least he didn't describe him as 'a bit ADDish'. Then again maybe he did. This is why off the cuff diagnosis should never be done by amateurs but left to the unlicensed TV quacks like sex fiend Dr Phil! In Heene's defense, he is only mildly eccentric compared to foam at the mouth & Vick's in the eye crazy Glenn Beck. Don't take my word for it. Jane Hall quit FOX because Beck was to crazy to work with, and also because they're way too right wing.



Hoax is such a harsh term. Let's just say that Richard Heene's initial account of events was 'exaggerated and inaccurate'. If exaggerated and inaccurate is against the law, then Glenn Beck and some of his FOX News cronies should have been cracking rocks a while ago!

Arrest in Lohan Burglary Case!

Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch

Law enforcement may have been bungling around like the Keystone Cops with the balloon Boy case, but they have made a break through in the Lindsay Lohan burglary case! If you'll recall Lindz had some pricey jewelry - to the tune of 150 00 - stolen from her home. Since this isn' the first time that jewelry has gone missing in the vicinity of La Lohan, busybodies - Internet gossip bloggers mostly - were speculating that the troubled and unemployed young actress had found a lucrative sideline in the way of cat burglary and insurance fraud to supplement her dwindling income. Well the suspicious minds have proved wrong. The burglars were a gang of girls who specialize in ripping of celebs!

Last night the LA Police took into custody 18-year-old Alexis Neirs (the sister of playboy cyber model Tess Taylor), along with Courtney Ames, 18, and Diana Tamayo, 19. Alixis got released fairly quickly since her sister ponied up the $100 000 bail (with bail that high you know this is serious!). Neirs told reporters: 'I didn't do jack s***, it's a joke.'

The police aren't laughing. They believe that Niers, her accomplices, and two other participants -Rachel Lee, 19 (the suspected ring leader), and Nicholas Prugo, 18 - not only burgled Lohan, but they are also believed to have ripped off the homes of Paris Hilton, The Hills star Audrina Patridge, former OC actress Rachel Bilson, and Orlando Bloom, where they were allegedly targeting possessions by his girlfriend Miranda Kerr.

So what was the motivation behind this girls gone wild crime spree? The young ladies are believed to have an obsession with celebrities and celebrity fashion. Their envy of Hollywood glamour lead them to use to Hollywood maps and the Internet to locate the home of celebs. They then tracked their movements so they'd know when the rich and famous would be out. That's when they struck. Well now they might be getting their own taste of that high intensity attention that they envied so much, while the powers that be continue the investigation.

If police really want to get to the bottom of this then they might want to check into Nicholas Prugo's criminal record (drug arrests) and the current rumors that these burglaries were actually linked to unpaid drug debts (Niers is saying that she knows for a fact that Prugo is behind everything, even though she also insists that she's innocent). Another interesting side note is that when arrested Lee had some partial nude photos of Hilton and of Bilson! I'm sure that Rachel will be relieved to get hers back. In Paris Hilton's case it's nothing we haven't seen before many, many times.
