Lindsay
Lohan is finally
getting the recognition she deserves! She's being
honored with an award by the Capri Film Festival on
Friday. "It is indeed an honor to have Lindsay Lohan
at Capri, Hollywood. We are delighted to recognize
her talent as a performing artist, as well as her
position as an icon in the world of entertainment."
Spencer
Pratt of MTV
the Hills
made a surprise
appearance in North Carolina sometime last week, and
he didn't even top off the papz first! He visited a
high school where he gave out about $20,000! It was
so sweet even a local newspaper wrote about it. You
can read about it HERE.
PerezHilton.com is reporting that
Jay-Z's
new 40/40 club didn't pass the inspection test! Which
means it probably won't open, like he previously
planned. "Unless Jay-Z and his team miraculously come
up with certain licenses and certificated by Sunday,
then they won't be able to go on with their New
Year's Eve party plans," a source told
PerezHilton.com. Plus, Jay-Z has to refund all the
tickets, and that will cost more money for them to
open the club in Las Vegas.
Besides failing at the box office, Jessica Simpson's new movie Blonde Ambition has already leaked on YouTube. CLICK HERE to see it.
John Mayer
posted has said this
about the word douchebag.
"Death to Douchebag
1 of a 129-part series on the year that was 2007,
By John Mayer
"Douchebag."
"What a douchebag."
It feels good to say, "douchebag." It's got two
different plosive sounds, the "D" and "B", and nicely
wedged between is a wonderful "sh" sound (technically
known as a voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant, at the
risk of coming off douchey) that, when preceded with
"oooooh", give your lips the sensation of sliding on
a hardwood floor in a pair of woolen socks.
And "douchebag" was on the vinegary tips of
everyone's tongues this year. Trouble is, I'm not
really clear on what it means, and I don't know that
anyone does. I know that I get called one. Pete Wentz
from Fallout Boy, by measure of a google search, is a
douchebag 11,100 times over, or the number of results
that the search engine says exist. Zach Braff, who
himself wrote one of the better films I've seen in
the last decade is also frequently 'bagged, as is
some guy named Brody Jenner. In fact, if you want to
go big, so is Michael Stipe, Bono ("supreme
douchebag"), Thom Yorke, Will Smith and Brad Pitt.
Are you as confused as I am as to what the common
denominator of douchiness is? Is it someone that
comes off obnoxious? Self aggrandizing? Ignorant? Or
is it just someone who exists out of another person's
comfort zone? And doesn't that account for almost
everyone in the world, celebrity or otherwise? Don't
most people, given the fact that they're NOT US lie
somewhere outside our comfort zone? Ohhhhh…OR…is
being a douchebag actually all about having a bigger
smile than someone else deems you deserve to in life?
I think I'm onto something here. Stick with me.
In the case of Pete Wentz, whom I can comment on
personally, I think the guy's got the job description
of musician down pretty damn well. True, it's not
your dad's rock star template, but he'd be
inauthentic if he tried to fit inside it. Pete Wentz
has a truckload of ideas. Big, bold, colorful ideas.
They're ideas that have never once had their edges
sanded down, and for that reason some people might
find him or his band too much to swallow. You know
who else had that going for them in their day? Frank
Zappa. And David Bowie. And Peter Gabriel. And Elton
John. And the Doors. Pretty much every rock band from
A-Z existed because of their ignoring conventional
boundaries. Pete's going to keep pretending. Because
that's all art really is. You puff up your sense of
pretend as big as you can and then try and live up to
it. (Maybe that's what people think being a douchebag
is?)
I personally don't mind being called a douchebag.
I've met my fair share of bloggers, and I'm much,
much taller than them. It's also because I need there
to be some push on the castle walls, so to speak. I'm
not happy when people agree. (Don't make me start
listing the names of seminal artists that weren't
either.) I think it's easier to call "douchebag" than
to confront the possibility that:
THERE ARE OTHER PERSONALITIES IN THIS WORLD THAT ARE
NOT INHERENTLY SYMPATHETIC TO OUR OWN.
Maybe I should take this opportunity to define
douchebag once and for all; I think if enjoying your
life as you choose happens to spill over into
treating others without respect, then you're a total,
world-class douchebag.
But then wouldn't that also serve as a fitting
description of the boy who cried "douche"?
Maybe it's just really fun to say."

Former O.C star,
Mischa
Barton got
arrested on Thursday. What for? Well, she was caught
driving under the influence and had possession of
illegal narcotic, plus she was driving without a
California license. Not to mention her overdose
earlier this year.
Despite all that, she is still scheduled to host the
New Years Eve Party at The CatHouse. The reps said
this : "We are aware of Mischa Barton's incident last
night, but at present she is still expected to host
the Cathouse Grand Opening at the Luxor on December
29th. We'll let you know if anything changes."
Courtney
Love was robbed
Wednesday! Apparently $100,000 were stolen from her
hotel. Her and her daughter Frances Bean were staying
at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York where, a pair
of pink diamond and yellow drop earrings were stolen.
A sources says "Courtney is devastated, she had
bought the earrings for Frances as her Christmas
present. Frances hasn't even tried them on yet!" Too
bad she didn't get the earrings insured, so now she's
stuck!
Luckily the earrings were found though, and people
are saying that they "mysteriously" appeared back in
her hotel.

America's Next

Is Top Model a Scam? Reflecting on the New year
Is Top Model a Scam?
That's what everyone has been asking me lately
because of the last season. I didn't watch it, but I
came across the finale and watched it the other week.
I guess the winner of the show not only has modeled
before (Wendy's commercials, Tyra Banks Show runway
model) but that she also had a personal relationship
with Tyra from being in her T-zone camp. According to
my contract with Top Model, all of these things would
keep you from even coming on the show, let alone win
it.
I agree with the majority in saying that this is not
fair. When I did watch the show, I didn't think that
they chose the girl who could actually model…but then
I remembered that they are 9 seasons into this show
and have yet to be successful in making a real "Top
Model". I would have picked the other girl based only
on that I think she would work more. It's Tyra's
show, and she can obviously do whatever she wants.
I love to compete. If I had been one of the other
contestants, I would be crying foul everywhere I
went. I am really surprised at how unfair that season
seems. So I guess now real models are going to be
allowed on the show? That should make things
interesting.
I think that if all these rumors of the winner being
tied in the industry and having a prior relationship
with Tyra is true, that the title should be given to
the runner up. I know Tyra is an honest person. I
have been assured by many that Tyra isn't unfair.
Seeing how she isn't, I know she will do the right
thing in this situation. Heck, maybe after she is
done righting this wrong, she could hint at the
agency she placed me in to PAY me for the work I did
and won through her show? Been trying to get that
check since 2003. ; )"
Amy's
Winehouse's visitation rights to her husband
Blake Fielder-Civil have been shortened. The junkie
tested positive for heroin. She'll now only get to
see him through glass. On other notice, News.com is
reporting that one of Blake's jail mates told him
that unless he paid $230,000 to a secret bank, she
will be kidnapped and harmed. Sources say he sent her
a letter begging her to be extra careful and stay
safe. "Blake is living in fear for Amy's and his own
life. At first he thought the guys in jail with him
were just trying their luck, but the threats have
gotten more and more serious. They have ordered Blake
to pay $230,000 into a secret bank account within the
next few days or else Amy will be snatched and
harmed. Blake knows it would be east for someone to
bundle Amy into a car, he is worried sick. [And] As a
precaution, the governor banned Amy from having any
more open visits with Blake. They now have to meet in
a room separated by a bullet-proof glass screen. Amy
is paranoid and shaking every time she goes there.
She is going to give it a miss for a while."
Jessica Simpson new movie Blonde Ambition was released Friday in select theatre around Texas and only made $384. With tickets priced at $8 a piece, it means only 48 people saw her movie. Not even Luke Wilson can save Jessica. It's set to release in January on DVD. Her other movie Major Movie Star is also going straight to DVD.

Fishel formerly
known as Topanga on Boy Meets World, was arrested
Thursday (December 20) right before 5 a.m for drunk
driving. She was released from jail a couple hours
after her arrest. Danielle is the spokeswomen for
