Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is known for her giggling.

But at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards function in Bangkok last month, she got into much higher spirits, say eye-witnesses. Read on..

The Bachchans were staying at the plush Dusit Thani Hotel  in Bangkok.

Just before the award ceremony, Abhishek Bachchan and Ash were seen coming down the steps of the hotel. The couple was accompanied by actor Kunal Kapoor.

Eye-witness said that Ash seemed very high-spirited and was talking loudly. Too loud for the comfort of her husband Abhishek, apparently.

For, Abhishek rebuked her for her loud volume and asked her to quieten down. Meanwhile, Kunal Kapoor, obviously embarrassed at the turn of events, hurriedly bid goodbye to the couple and walked away.

After that too, Ash was in no mood to listen!

Says the eye-witness, “She continued with her extra-loud self-expression, until Abhishek took her to the lobby and made her sit down there, to calm her down. For a while, things were rather quiet, until Ash suddenly decided to pipe up all over again.

She continued arguing at the top of her voice, until Abhishek, sensing that the situation was getting embarrassingly out of control, beckoned his personal security guards and asked them to escort his wife to her room.”

And all was well with the Bachchan dignity all over again!

Kristi Yamaguchi was the best performer on Dancing with the Stars last night. But we’ll likely be saying that every week.

Therefore, we’d like to mention the other great news from the latest round of auditions: Adam Carolla wasn’t awful! That means him - and, more importantly, his partner Julianne Hough - are likely to stick around at least one more week. Yes!

Now, let’s run down the pairs, dances and scores …

Marlee Matlin and Fabian Sanchez (Jive): Total: 21
Steve Guttenberg and Anna Trebunskaya (Tango): Total: 21
Cristián de la Fuente and Cheryl Burke (Jive): Total: 25
Mario and Karina Smirnoff (Tango, below, still not dating): Total: 21

26th 2008Possible Rebound Romance: Is Sean Penn Dating Petra Nemcova?
Posted under Free for All & Elton John & Petra Nemcova & Sean Penn

“Possible Rebound Romance: Is Sean Penn Dating Petra Nemcova?”

Well it didn’t take him long! Recently-divorced actor Sean Penn set tongues wagging Sunday night by keeping close company with model Petra Nemcova during Elton John’s AIDS Foundation screening party.

After arriving together, the two momentarily separated – Penn, 47, rattled off an interview while Nemcova, 28, posed for pictures – before meeting up again in front of the cameras for a joint photo op.

Although they managed to keep the PDA down to a minimum, the are-they-aren’t-they couple looked rather chummy and a little too comfortable. When pressed for details, the honey-blond bombshell strictly told People, “Yes, we are friends. He is on the advisory board of my charity.” Sure, is that what they’re calling it these days?

An unnamed insider slipped an interesting tidbit to the publication: allegedly the stars were spotted at the Villa nightclub in L.A. on the previous night. Where they headed off to from there remains a mystery.

Is this simply a rebound romance for Penn, or something more? Put on your thinking caps ladies and send us your predictions!

The Jonas Brothers don’t know how to have fun.

Not only are all three reportedly virgins (just like Lindsay Lohan. Just kidding!), but now a represenative of Hollywood Records is playing down celebrity gossip rumors that say Joe Jonas and Bratz star Chelsea Staub are even dating.

“All the Jonas Brothers are friends with Chelsea. They met while working on the pilot for J.O.N.A.S.,” the source told Us Weekly.

That sucks for Joe. Staub is cute.

No Romance Here

Note to Joe Jonas: you should date Chelsea Staub. Take a look at your hair. You won’t do any better.

JC Chasez is “not dating” Chace Crawford

“You know what, it’s laughable the first time. I think the tenth time, it gets annoying.”

Former ‘N Sync crooner JC Chasez is getting a little fed-up when it comes to the subject of Chace Crawford. For those who haven’t heard the juicy rumors, the Gossip Girls star has been romantically linked to the boy-bander for the past couple of months.

Odd, but not necessarily implausible.

In February the cuties spent several hours together at Elton John’s post-Oscar party, and allegedly this past weekend they were spotted at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Scandalous much?

 “I don’t care about [people’s] assumptions or anything, but when people outright lie, that’s wrong,” Chasez told People at the live finale of Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew . “So I think that part of the rumor is outright stupid.”

“The fact of the matter is I’m a straight  guy and I’m allowed to have [guy] friends.” Doesn’t it sound like he’s trying to convince himself?

“For the record, we’re both straight. We’re not dating,” the pop star continued. “The only time people usually see us together is in some type of photograph, so they just assume that it’s like that.” Sure.

“If I’m dating a girl and I’m standing next to another girl, I’m having an affair,”  Chasez, who formerly dated Eva Longoria, explained. “So now, since there hasn’t been any of that smoke out there, if I’m hanging with a guy, they’re going to make up a rumor. It’s just stupid.”

In conclusion, the rumor is an outright lie created by easily-fooled people who don’t understand that guys are allowed to have close guy friends…right?

The job opportunities keep coming in for Britney Spears.

Yesterday, we reported that Britney’s father and guardian, Jamie Spears, wants her to continue working in TV to keep her pants-hating ass out of trouble.

This followed a successful stint on How I Met Your Mother and a comment from 30 Rock star Tina Fey that she’d welcome Britney on that series.

Well, it turns out the President of PETA - yes, the ca-razzzy animal rights peeps - was so impressed with Britney’s role as a receptionist on How I Met Your Mother that she wants her to be a PETA receptionist for just one hour.

Britney Spears with London

The group wrote an open letter to Britney Spears, stating:

“We have criticized you in the past for contributing to the dog overpopulation crisis and wearing real fur, but perhaps now that your own crisis has abated, a new day calls for a new relationship, a new outlook, and a new understanding.”

The always-entertaining group says it will donate $1,000 to a children’s charity of her choice should Britney Spears take them up on their offer.

Hopefully this is just a ploy by PETA to abduct and free Britney’s poor Yorkshire terrier, London. Poor son of a bitch looks pretty desperate these days.

Who knew that “Grey’s Anatomy” star Ellen Pompeo had anything intelligent to say!

The actress took a shot at Paris Hilton in the new issue of Los Angeles Confidential Magazine on newsstands August 15th.

“I just think the media should take this country in a different direction,” said Pompeo.
“We’re so focused on the wrong things. We’re teaching young girls that this is what they should be focusing on: rich and famous girls who are rich and famous for nothing.”

“What are we doing to this younger generation? It’s not very responsible.”

Aw. Isn’t that cute. Pompeo, who is repeatedly ignored at Emmy time, is trying to be taken seriously. She’s using her ‘acting’ skills to make important social commentary. Isn’t that special!

Pompeo, who weighs about 92 pounds and looks like she hasn’t had a decent meal since early 1989, also calls the media “irresponsible” for ongoing speculation that she has an eating disorder.

“I just worry about the girls who look up to me — I don’t want them to think I starve myself or don’t eat, and that to be like me that’s what they have to do,” says Pompeo.

She went on to say that she is naturally thin. However, I looked her up on an old episode of “Law & Order” and girlfriend was normal sized and about thirty pounds heavier than she is now. So, Pompeo is already full of crap.

The actress who plays the widely popular character of Dr. Meredith Grey is engaged to record producer Chris Ivery, but the duo has not set a wedding date yet.

“I swear we’re going to get married at sometime,” she says. “We’re just trying to fit it all in. It won’t be a big ceremony — we want one thing to ourselves.”

Does she see children in her future?

“I do,” she says. “With the show, I just don’t know if it’s entirely fair to myself and to everybody else right now. We’ll see what happens.”

Well, good – at least then she’ll gain some weight!

We hope Heather Mills is reading The Hollywood Gossip over a cup of tea this morning… and crying her eyes out over the following news:

The UK’s Daily Mail is reporting that Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell are still going strong, recently vacationing in the Caribbean.

The British paper says Sir Paul jetted off on a romantic rendezvous with Shevell just a week after his divorce from his one-legged gold digger ex-wife was finalized. The two have enjoyed secret liaisons since October, as they kissed, held hands and took a romantic sunset stroll along a beach in Antigua over the weekend.

Nancy and Paul

This photo may be a bit grainy, but trust us: that’s Nancy Shevell and Paul McCartney, enjoying a well-deserved vacation in Antigua.

McCartney and Shevell have been spotted riding bikes around the island, smooching and giggling like teenagers.

“Everyone on the beach could see they only had eyes for each other,” said a witness. “He is a good few years older than her but looking good and can clearly still impress the ladies. They seemed so happy and relaxed in each other’s company, as though they’ve been together for years.”

Eat it, Heather Mills!

19th 2008The Weekend: Stars Who Say, I do, I will, I can and Will You?
Posted under Free for All & Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi & Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz & Harrison Ford & Shania Twain

Ellen DeGeneres Asks ‘Will you Marry me?’

Friday saw the California Supreme Court ruling that the California Constitution now gives gays the lesbians the right to marry and who was there to pop the question first, Ellen DeGeneres. Yes, at the taping of her show she asked Portia de Rossi if she could have he hand in marriage. I bet Ellen is a big fan of at least one man now, the Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, who pushed the bill through.

Justin Timberlake Says ‘I Will!’

Being one of the first guests on the Ellen show after she announced her intended marriage to Portia, was pretty boy and ex- NSync boy band member, Justin Timberlake.

Being carried away with excitement of seeing his friend propose to her girlfriend Justin offered his manly services to write DeGeneres in the form of writing her wedding song to Portia. But that’s not all, he’s even offered to perform for the special event.

His excitement was continued through to expressing his thoughts on his own nuptials when Ellen suggested he should marry his girlfriend Jessica Biel, he merely laughed it off. Take note Jessica!

Ashlee Simpson Says, ‘I Do!’

Saturday was the somewhat ‘shotgun’ style wedding of another of Papa Simpson’s daughters, this time it was baby Ashlee Simpson as she said her ‘I Do‘s‘ to rocker Pete Wentz when Joe Simpson performed the nondenominational ceremony in front of about 150 guests at his home in Encino, California.

Ashlee, 23, was pretty conventional in her choice of an ivory dress accompanied by a diamond necklace and earrings, but Pete, 28, showed signs of being a little off the wall when he chose his English bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer.

Although rumours abounded towards the end of last week that Jessica Simpson had split with boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, it certainly didn’t appear that way when Jessica acted as maid of honour and was accompanied to the nuptials by Tony.

Other guests included Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.

Harrison Ford says, ‘Yes I Can!’

With the fourth movie in the Indiana Jones series premiering in Cannes this Sunday in the Grand Lumiere Theatre in the Palais des Festivals, it became clear that following a break of 19 years since his last adventure, Harrison Ford had once again managed to meet with the approval of the critics who seemed genuinely pleased to see the famous whip-wielding archaeologist back on the big screen in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Shania Twain says ‘I Won’t

Just as one Canadian, Autumn Kelly marries the eldest grandson of Queen Elizabeth II this weekend, another Canadian is saying I wont stay married. 1990’s music sensation Shania Twain has parted company with her music producer husband of 14 years, Robert Lange, also known as Mutt.

Shania, 42, married 59 year old Mutt in 1993 and together they have a 6 year old son Eja.

Choosing to keep their private lives out of the spot light Twain and Mutt have lived in Tour de Peilz, Switzerland for several wears but now it appears she has placed herself quite firmly in the spot light once again as she did in the 1990’s with her three albums which saw her selling over 47 million copies in the USA alone: 1995 she released “The Woman in Me,” in 1997 “Come on Over” was her big seller and 2002 saw “Up!” was the album bringing in the dollars.

Two episodes of The Hills last night. One awesome performance by Whitney Port and plenty of Pratt family drama to catch up on. Let’s get down to it.

In the first episode, “Back to L.A.,” Lauren Conrad returns home from Paris and tells Audrina Patridge all about her travels, while Whitney Port heads into Lisa Love’s office at Teen Vogue to tell her she’s outta here.

Whitney goes on a job interview for a stylist’s position with Kelly Cutrone of People’s Revolution. The interview is tough, but our girl gets it! Yay!

At her office, Heidi Montag explains to some random co-worker that she does not want to break up with Spencer Pratt …. but at the same time, he sure shouldn’t think about seeing other people … but he needs to move out. Pronto.

Spencer complains to his sister, Stephanie Pratt, about moving out and says he’s considering dating other girls as a result. Hopefully ones who haven’t had about 12 plastic surgeries. Seriously, have you seen Heidi lately?

Heidi Montag gets wind of the fact that Spencer is thinking about dating others - via Stephanie - and fish-lips does not take kindly to this revelation.

The Great Speidi

Spencer Pratt has worn this look of bewilderment for three episodes now.

Lauren and Audrina head to Les Deux where they meet up with Frankie Delgado and his boyfriend, Brody Jenner. Just kidding. They’re not together. Though they are always together. What is this Frankie guy’s deal, anyway?

Anyway, having heard about Cora Skinner, LC gives Brody the cold shoulder and asks him where his “girlfriend” is. Brody plays dumb, but Lauren is wicked upset and not buying it. Brody then gets pissed storms outta the club.

Lauren Conrad and Lauren Bosworth (Lo) have breakfast and LC admits that Brody has a way of making her feel like she’s not good enough.

Lo tells LC that she’s being ridiculous and that Brody should be chasing her, and that she has to figure out a way to just be friends with him.

A bitter Spencer packs up his stuff at the ol’ apartment, while pouty Heidi watches. As he walks out he says “enjoy your space.” Ohhh, snap!

Finally, Whitney Port packs up her stuff at the Teen Vogue offices, reminiscing with LC about all their good times. They say goodbye and we shed a tear.

Read about the second episode, “An Unexpected Friend,” after the jump …

In a celebrity sex scandal that makes even the Jamie Lynn Spears / Casey Aldridge drama seem tame, celebrity news sources are reporting that ‘tween queen Miley Cyrus is pregnant and Nick Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers) is the father.

We saw this coming a mile(y) away. With all the racy, girl-on-girl action photos of the singer that have surfaced lately, we knew that behind the innocent exterior, Cyrus, 15, was a wild child yearning to let loose. Nick Jonas satisfied that need.

Miley Cyrus, UnderwearNick Jonas

Miley Cyrus is three months pregnant with the love child of Nick Jonas.

The pregnant Hannah Montana star has not yet commented publicly on whether she will keep the child, or whether she will continue touring this year.

Follow the jump for more on this breaking story …

Who in their right mind would have their teeth filled by the son of a renowned dentist based on the fact that his father was a talented dentist? Who would use a lawyer, a cosmetic surgeon, a veterinarian or an optician just based on the fact they were the spawn of a talented parent? No one!

So why is Hollywood and show business so obsessed with inflicting talentless, unattractive, brainless, unqualified brats on us and insulting our intelligence by passing them off as “talented?”

The world is becoming increasingly swamped by a tidal wave of talentless so-called “celebrities” who are famous simply for being famous or a child of the famous.

Case in point. This week we hear that the ‘model’ daughter of aging rocker Rod Stewart, Kimberley Stewart, is set to hit the boards of Broadway following in the ‘talented footsteps’ of Kelly Osbourne. What talent has Kelly Osbourne ever exhibited and what the hell makes Kimberly Stewart a freaking model? She’s not attractive, her body is hardly in the same league as Elle MacPherson and I certainly don’t think she lists Julliard or RADA on her resume.
 

A source tells the Daily Telegraph, “After seeing Penny Lancaster (Stewart’s stepmother) and Kelly do their stuff, Kimberly’s really keen to do something similar, preferably involving singing and dancing. She’s told Kelly that a role in a West End musical would be her dream job.”

It would also be the dream job of thousands of young, talented, attractive students of the profession, but of course, they don’t have famous parents to kick start their careers.

Kim Kardashian! Not an ounce of skill in any area and with the face of an aging race horse to boot, but as the daughter of one of OJ Simpson’s attorneys and the star of a filthy porn video, she has now made it to the cover of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine for December this year and is constantly on the lips of every awe-struck, star- worshipping member of the public.

Then we have the extremely untalented Paris Hilton: “entrepreneur,” “model,” “actress,” etc, etc. Where are the credentials that state she has attained these dizzy heights in the world of stage and business?

Add to the list Paris’s sister, Nicky Hilton, another wanna-be hanger-on who apparently recently filed for bankruptcy as her business venture into the world of hotels failed miserably. Now there’s a surprise!

Even celebrities themselves are fast becoming sickened by the attention these talentless “celebs.”

Oscar winner Rachel Weisz has slammed talentless celebrities who pursue fame - branding them “vulgar.”

The British actress insists she has earned her place in the limelight because of her profession and feels contempt for those who are only famous for stripping for photographers or attending glitzy parties. Weisz, who famously rejected an offer to pose naked for Playboy in 2005, vows to continue to snub the celebrity circuit

She says, “I am an actress. I think celebrity is a vulgar thing. It’s so easy to be famous, turn up in a certain dress, present a show, take your top off.

“If you go to those parties and wear those dresses you become a celebrity, which has nothing to do with acting. I don’t go to those parties. I can’t stand them.”
When asked what we associate Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Madonna or Oprah Winfrey with, it’s success. Success achieved through their skill, hard work, determination and talent.

I know all this to be true because I have become a talentless air-headed writer based on who I know, not what I know

Christiane Plante who?

It hasn’t taken WWE legend Hulk Hogan long to move past his mistress - or his longtime wife, Linda - and on to a new blonde.

Meet Jennifer McDaniel. We only know two things about her:

1. She was spotted alongside Hogan at LAX over the weekend;
2. She looks exactly like Hulk’s daughter, Brooke Hogan.

That second fact is far from a compliment, on multiple levels. Take a look at Jennifer McDaniel and Hulk Hogan right now:

Jennifer McDaniel, Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan strolls through the airport with daughter Brooke Hogan … oh wait, sorry, that’s actually his new girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel. Our mistake.

Here are two more Jennifer McDaniel photos, as she strolls alongside her musclebound man. Click on the pics for larger versions…

Watch out, watch out, there’s a man thief about!

Its not illegal but it’s rife! Husband and boyfriend theft in Hollywood. Some of the most memorable of late would be the theft of Brad Pitt from the very beautiful ‘girl next door’ Jennifer Aniston by the man-eating and baby adopting Angelina Jolie. Then there was the man-hunting Bar Rafaeli who stole Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio from Gisele Bundchen.

Bar Rafaeli knows exactly how to steal a man

Recovering party girl and fiancé stealer Lindsay Lohan recently broke the heart of Utah resident Bree Tierney when she stole Riley Giles right from under her nose while the pair where in rehab at Cirque Clinic rehab facility.

I’ll have that one please!

But its not a new ‘crime wave’ in Hollywood. Remember Sir Laurence Olivier?

Oh, I’ll think about it tomorrow!

He deserted the Gone with the Wind star Vivien Leigh for actress Joan Plowright after enduring years of manic depression from Leigh. Elizabeth Taylor lost Richard Burton on more than one occasion to stardom-seeking younger actresses but, in fairness, she originally used her feminine wiles to steal him from his first wife, Sybil.

So if you’re heading for Hollywood and either have, or manage to snare a handsome young (or old) actor husband, beware of the husband stealing vixens of Hollywood.

ABB

Seeking to revive her music “career,” Britney Spears met with her former manager, Larry Rudolph, last week, according to celebrity news sources.

“Britney wants to get back to work,” a friend of the Spears family said. “People close to Britney know that Larry Rudolph is the best person for her - he’s the man who can get her back on the right track career-wise.”

The two — who stopped talking last year after Spears fired his ass and blamed him for forcing her into rehab — had a “mostly personal meeting,” the source adds.

“They had a normal conversation, and it was very friendly and warm. There was no animosity… Larry just wanted to see her. He is still extremely close to Britney’s family and really cares about her and wanted to spend some time with her.”

Britney Spears and Larry Rudolph

This photo of Britney Spears and then-manager Larry Rudolph was taken in late 2006 - after she filed for divorce from K-Fed, but before she went bonkers.

Larry Rudolph, who is credited for discovering Spears, managed her career for nine years. He was subpoenaed in Spears’ custody battle in August 2007.

“I know and understand Britney Spears better than anyone, I know what makes her tick, and I understand everything she’s going through,” he said. “With that being said, my loyalty will always stay strong with Britney.”
