Looking awkward while networking socially

Jesse Eisenberg (Mark Zuckerberg), Andrew Garfield (Eduardo Saverin) and Justin Timberlake (Sean Parker) strike a pose at last night’s after party for the New York Film Festival premiere of The Social Network.

The movie’s generating all kinds of positive buzz, including (shockingly) JT’s performance.  Great.  Like he wasn’t egotistical enough before.

Meanwhile, the real Mark Zuckerberg, in a totally non-PR unrelated move to counter the negative portrayal of him in the movie, appeared on Oprah yesterday to donate $100 million to the Newark school system (there’s been much yammering on Oprah lately about how the little darlings need good schools and education) which is totally totally a coincidence, both Mark and Oprah swear!

Lindsay Lohan already released on bail to wreak havoc

Wait.  WHAT???!

Apparently, cranky Judge Eldon Fox overstepped his authority when he threw Lindsay into jail without bail yesterday.  (California State law guarantees bail for misdemeanors).

Although defense attorney Shawn Chapman Holley tried to object when Lindsay was handcuffed and taken away, the judge refused to listen to her (If nothing else, Lindsay is a polarizing figure). 

SCH turned right around and filed an appeal with the court, saying “”There is no question that Ms. Lohan is entitled to bail while her alleged probation violation is being adjudicated.”

Her appeal was heard by Judge Patricia Schnegg, who overturned the previous ruling and ordered Lindsay released on $300 000 bail just before midnight Pacific Time.  Lindsay’s latest bail comes with some strict conditions, including the return of the SCRAM ankle bracelet.

You just know Lindsay and Dina are going to be super smug over this latest plot twist, especially if Judge Fox gets his wrist slapped for trampling on Lindsay’s rights.  Her next hearing for probation violation is scheduled for October 22.

Lenny Kravitz somehow pulls this off

I wouldn’t be caught dead in it (I’d be way too self conscious and feel ridiculous).  Granted, Lenny’s a musician and raging heterosexual.  It’s a testament to him that he still looks straight in that ensemble.

Not sure about the wedge boots though – pretty fug.  On the plus side, I guess the murse no longer has to match the footwear (good to know).

And since I can’t post ANYTHING without a little bit of snark, the only thing this outfit seems to be missing is a light-saber or Dorthy Zbornak from the Golden Girls.

Lindsay Lohan sent back to the slammer

How long she stays behind bars this time is debatable.

After showing up in court looking demure and confident, Judge Elden Fox wasted no time in giving his ruling (guilty!) and had Lindsay handcuffed and taken into custody.

Apparently, the look on Lindsay’s face was priceless.  So much for Dina’s assertion that they were going to “beat this”.

TMZ is saying the judge has denied Lindsay bail and that she could be locked up until October 22.  Most were speculating she would get bail since failing that drug test amounted to a misdemeanor.  Well, she can’t say she wasn’t warned.

There’s nothing like the sweet taste of schadenfreude on a Friday afternoon.

Madonna, Angry Raccoon, and daughter launch clothing line

Pulling her patented “I’m so happy to be here, except not” look, annoying child and hard core triple threat Taylor Momsen strikes a pose with Madonna and her daughter Lordes last night during the official launch party of the Material Girl clothing line at Macy’s last night in NYC.

Lordes’ father, Carlos Leon, was there too.  Word is he’s not thrilled with his daughter’s attempts to be in the limelight and has put his foot down when it comes to dating.  I bet the arguments are spectacular.

I’d be more worried about the influence Angry Raccoon has on her than anything else.  From what I see in this picture above, Lordes is already starting to emulate her.

Katy Perry’s bodacious ta-tas banned from Sesame Street

 

Remember that post the other day about Katy Perry singing “Hot & Cold” with an apparently traumatized Elmo?

Well the fuddy-duddies out there got their collective tits (pun intended) into a knot over Katy’s dress, even though it didn’t show as much boobage as originally thought due to flesh coloured mesh. 

Yeah, I don’t get it either.  Why cover up your boobs in the first place if your going to make it look like your not?  Weird (not to mention pointless).

Long story short, the producers took heed of parents concerns and won’t show the clip after all.  Instead, they’re going to have Ernie and Bert sing “I Feel Pretty” with Adam Lambert while making out with him.

Ok, I totally made that last part up.

“Crazy For You” – Madonna has a stalker

The Big M seems to be unfazed by the unwanted attentions of Robert Linhart, a retired firefighter who showed up at her apartment building in NYC first on Saturday then again on Tuesday with an ice pick and signs that read “Meet me please”.

When arrested, the retired fireman told cops that he “won’t stop until he meets Madonna” and vowed that once released into the wild from either jail or the loony bin, he was ”going to go right back [to her residence] and do it again.”

Linhart was charged with criminal mischief, graffiti, and carrying a concealed weapon.  His hearing was yesterday afternoon and bail set at $20 thousand dollars.  The defense lawyer assigned to his case said “it’s not a crime to adore Madonna” (true) and that there were “no facts to support that ice pick was going to be used unlawfully.”  Weak.  

When asked if she was afraid by a local paper, Madonna answered “No” (this isn’t the first kook she’s dealt with in her 30 year career and she’s probably packing).

Fox (officially) announces your new American Idol Judges

 

Wow!  Shocking!!  Who knew? (Sarcasm).

In a press conference today hosted by Ryan “I’m totally not gay” Seacrest and attended by press and American Idol hopefuls in LA, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez were trotted out.

Blah blah blah “feels fabulous” blah blah “so excited” blah “love”.

What the holy hell is J-Lo wearing?  You know I’m going to tune into this mess each week now, simply to see what ridiculous get-up she has on. 

Also? Cue countdown for stories about feuds (all of them), diva antics (J-Lo), and loopy behavior (Steven Tyler) once the new season gets underway.

Did Becks step out on Posh again?

According to some 26 year old hooker that sold her story to In Touch Weekly, he did back in 2007.

Irma Nici says that she played with Becks personal soccer balls five separate times three years ago and was paid $10 grand a piece for services rendered and one assumes, her silence.    

Irma says Becks was a 7.5 as a lover (when I first read that, I thought it meant something else entirely), and one time kind of burned himself when he used perfumed hand lotion to grease himself up, if you know what I mean and I think that you do.

Not satisfied with telling tales out of school, Irma also claims Becks confided in her, saying that he liked Posh better when she wasn’t quite as skinny and that “he is more of a butt man than a breast man”. 

Oh.  Snap.  

Meanwhile, Posh and Becks have gone on the defensive, having their spokesminion contact US Magazine to issue a denial saying that the hooker, InTouch, and the story are all full of BS. 

Legal action is also being apparently being taken as well.  Isn’t that what they all say or threaten to do?  If (and that’s a major “if” given Beck’s history) the story’s not true, by all means they should sue the magazine and go after the hooker while they’re at it.  If the story is true, well, guess the next move is Posh’s to make isn’t it?

People weighs in on the Ashton/Demi dynamic

This does not bode well.

When the psyophant of the tabloids says there may be trouble in paradise, chances are there’s at least a kernel of truth to some of the rumours floating around.

Of course, People doesn’t come right out and say Ashton is f*cking around on Demi, leaving that to the latest issue of Star, (which claims that 21 year old Rachel Uchitel wanna-be has now provided them with “proof” of her hook-up in the form of text messages that are supposedly from Ashton) opting instead to go with the more gentle approach of saying the marriage is under strain because of the rumours.

Radar has also entered the fray, saying that this Brittney Jones character (aka Rachel Uchitel wanna-be) has already hired a publicist and a manager and that she comes from a “family of gold-diggers”.  Sounds like someone plans on launching a career in the entertainment industry based on a scandal.

Give it til early next week and Gloria Allred will be probably be involved in this mess too.
