Who? Kate Hudson VS Cameron Diaz.

Why?  Alex Rodriguez (yeah, I don’t get it either).

According to US Weekly, Kate is pissed that Cameron is now with her ex-f*ck buddy A-Rod, whom she dated for most of last year.  Kate parted ways with him in December, and a flurry of “who broke up with who first and why” stories surfaced shortly thereafter.

Apparently, Cameron has been secretly dating A-Rod since they hooked up at the Superbowl.  Here’s where it gets good.  Some source that’s supposedly close to Kate told US that Kate thinks it’s payback for her hooking up with Justin Timberlake shortly after he and Cameron broke up four years ago, and for winning a role in the mega-flop musical Nine that Cameron had been after.

Meow.

Meanwhile, a friend of Cameron’s tells the magazine that Cameron thinks it’s “a joke” that Kate’s upset and that “the only reason Kate’s mad is because she hates being single”.

Double meow.

As for Cameron and A-Rod, he’s apparently asked her not to attend his games.  Kate became a fixture at them last summer and took the attention away from him and the game.

Stay tuned, this drama is just getting started.

2010: The Year Of The Cheating Spouse seems to be continuing on a roll. 

The latest member of the club, according to the National Enquirer, is Today co- host Matt Lauer. 

Word is Matt was going wild while in Vancouver during the Winter Olympics.  Apparently, he stood his wife, Annette, up on Valentine’s Day and was having so much “fun” he stayed on for a few days after the closing ceremony.

Once Matt got back, his wife confronted him, having been informed of hisextra curricular activities (flirting and canoodling in public) by another Today show staffer’s wife, and threw him out.    

Supposedly, NBC brass have been pressuring Matt to keep the status of his marriage and living arrangement hush-hush, so his “family man ” image isn’t tarnished, since most of his fan base is female and married (the Soccer Mom Brigade).

This isn’t the first time there’s been trouble between Matt and Annette.  In 2006, they briefly separated while she was expecting their third kid and Annette actually filed for divorce, but the proceedings were called off after a month.  

Most shocking of all?  Gloria Allred isn’t involved in this.  Yet.

UPDATE – Matt and Annette have both gone to the always celebrity friendly People to dispute the story in the Enquirer.  According to them, the story is lies!  All lies! 

Matt told them, “I am living in my apartment with Annette and my children as a family and a couple.  I have never moved out. I am not moving out. There is no truth to that.”

Annette meanwhile says that “Out of respect, I want to stand up for our family and protect them.”

Notice the lack of denial about his stepping out or her accusations to him about it.  So are they actually together and working out their problems, or are they faking it for NBC and Matt’s reputation?

Father of the year nominee (sarcasm) and professional famewhore Michael Lohan, deciding that he’d been out of the media long enough as for him two weeks plus is an eternity, brought the sheriff and made an unannounced visit to daughter Lindsay at her place Thursday afternoon.

This time, it’s all about daughter Ali, the world’s oldest looking teenager (16 going on 35).  Apparently, Michael is concerend about her welfare as she’s been staying with her sister. 

The fact that every time Michael engages Lindsay, he makes it into the media and possibly gets interviewed by various tabloid outlets (that will pay him) has nothing to do with this whatsoever.

The sheriff spoke to Ali but let her stay there as there was “no evidence of abuse”.  Michael says he’s going to stick around in LA until Ali is removed and Linds goes back to rehab.  He’s supposedly seeking a Britney Spears style conservatorship, so he runs all of Lindsay’s affairs.  Good luck with that.

Naturally, Lindsay had one of her patented Tweet-rants right after, blaming her building’s security for letting her father and the police in, then lambasting him, then wondering where her lawyer was, and thanking God for Dina….

Speaking of which, she issued this ominious message about Thursday’s melodrama, ”I was told by my attorneys not to speak because it is very serious and my ex could be in big trouble. He’s dangerous…. If he can’t get to them he is going to try to hurt them — it’s not good.”

Unless it wins big on Sunday night at the Oscars, Kathryn Bigelow’s film about a US Army bomb disposal unit member in Iraq will be best known for all the drama surrounding it off screen.

First, producer Nicolas Cartier was barred from attending the Academy Awards earlier this week, punishment for sending out e-mails to Academy members urging them to vote for The Hurt Locker and “not that $500 million dollar movie“, a reference to Avatar.  Apparently, promoting a film while slamming another is a major no-no in la-la land. 

Now a man who served with the US Army as a bomb disposal expert himself has launched a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the makers of the film, including Summit Entertainment which is the films distributor, claiming they cheated him out of “financial participation” and that Jeremy Renner’s character in the movie is based on him. 

Jeffery Sarver says that he was interviewed by Mark Boal in Iraq in 2004, who was imbedded in his three person unit for 30 days.  Boals experiences led to a story in Playboy the following year, which was then eventually adapted by Boal into the screenplay for The Hurt Locker.

Sarver and his lawyer also claim he came up with the phrase “The Hurt Locker” as well as the call signal “Blaster One” which was used in the movie.

Summit Entertainment (which is probably at this point just wishing it had stuck to films about sparkly, fang-less vampires) says it’s looking for a “quick resolution” to the claims made by Sarver.

Guess serving your country may turn out to be quite profitable, provided Hollywood gets invloved and you get yourself a good lawyer.

Celebutard Paris Hilton celebrated her 29th birthday at some club in LA and drama occurred when pal-ex-f*ck buddy Brandon (Greasy Bear) Davis, who showed up uninvited, and current squeeze Doug Reinhardt got into a pissing contest with each other.

Page Six says Reinhardt got into an argument with Hilton, apparently upset with all the attention she was getting at her own birthday party (how old is he, seven?) when Davis stepped in and a screaming match ensued. 

The end result of which saw Davis getting kicked out of the party, Reinhardt back in his girlfriend’s good graces by the end of the night, and Paris feeling (one assumes) a sense of affirmation since she caused something of a stir that would get mentioned in the media after months of irrelevance.

The bigger question is why are these people pseudo-famous and why am I posting about them when they all make my skin crawl?

Talk about a cold war.

Last night the men’s figure skating competition was held at the Winter Olympics.  All things considered, it was pretty tight, with Johnny Weir (USA) and Patrick Chan (Canada) both bringing it but failing to crack the top three spots coming in 6th and 5th respectively.  Boo.

The winners were Evan Lysacek – USA (Gold) Daisuke Takahashi – Japan (Bronze) and Evegi Plushenko – Russia (Silver).  It’s Plushenko that has everyone talking today. 

Apparently coming in second didn’t sit well and he couldn’t help but try on various bitch-faces while on the podium, accepting his medal.  Then backstage came the comment from him “It’s not men’s figure skating. Now it’s dancing”.

Oh, SNAP.

This is probably one of the most awesomely bitchy and bitter things I’ve ever heard.  Hell hath no fury like a drama queen deprived of a gold medal they thought should have been theirs.

Speaking of Drama Queens, what did Johnny Weir think of his ranking?

Guess who’s staging a comeback?

After disappearing after his infamous car crash in late November, Tiger Woods has come out of hiding, seen yesterday jogging hear his home in Florida.

After showing the world how not to handle a major scandal (screwing just about every skanky ho that crossed his path and getting caught) now comes the tricky part, the relauch of the Tiger Woods brand.

Step 1.  A well timed photo op (this pic was taken by Team Tiger’s consent and was the only photographer there).

Step 2. Press Conference – this is happening tomorrow.  Tiger will address the issue (no questions allowed).

Step 3 and beyond.  Re-image branding.  Clearly, Tiger’s going to try to prove he’s a committed family man.  Winning a golf tournament or doing well to show he’s still “got it” is also a top priority.  After that, getting some of those lost endorsement deals back or replaced will also be high on the “to do” list.

We may enjoy it when the rich, privileged and powerful fall, (let’s admit it, schadenfreude is the reason so many blogs like this one are popular) but we also like it when those that fall pick themselves up and stage successful comebacks.

Should be interesting to see which of the skanky hos he hit it with tries to cash in on the renewed attention to this story.  My money’s on Faithless Hussy and the porn star.

And call off their dogs.  But will they kiss and make up?

Apparently deciding that the potential lure of “Stubby’s” 8 little children to potential audiences ($ka-ching) was too great of an opportunity to miss out on, the network “has reached a settlement with Jon Gosselin and will be undertaking procedural steps to conclude the litigation. All terms of the settlement are confidential. The whole Gosselin family remain under contract with TLC.” the network said in a released statement.

Sound’s like Kate, black sheep of the TLC family Jon, and their spawn may all be back on the air before the end of the year.

Somewhere out there, Kate Major, Michael Lohan and Hailey Glassman are all losing heir sh*t over this, wondering how they can each make this story about them.

Alec Baldwin.

Personally, I think he’s great on 30 Rock.  In real life, he seems to be kind of..messed up with a flair for the dramatic.  Big time.

After putting on a spectacularly venomous divorce with Kim Bassinger in the media that makes Jon and Kate Gosselin seem normal by comparison (think about that for a while),  Baldwin made news about three years ago when he told their  then 11 year old daughter Ireleand a “rude, thoughtless little pig” over the phone, an audio recording of which was then leaked.

Anybody with a kid older than 11 or remembers being a kid themselves probably thought, “yeah, there were moments” and went on with their day, while child welfare activits all reacted with outrage! and concern.

Baldwin was taken to the hospital early Thursday at 12:55am, apparently after telling Ireland that he was thinking of taking a punch of pills and “ending it“.  Nice thing to say to your 14 year old kid.  She apparently called the paramedics, and Baldwin was rushed to the hospital, only to be released an hour later saying through his spokesminion the whole thing was over a “miscommunication“.

When Baldwin got back to his place on Central Park West from work later that day, a media circus awaited him.  Losing his temper, Baldwin grabbed a photographer who happened to touch him.

No charges have been laid, although if the guy works for one of the tabloids or TMZ I’m sure a lawsuit will have been launched by the time you finish reading this post if it hasn’t already.

Baldwin told police his daughter had been “put up” to call 911 by his ex-wife, while a “source” (Alec with a voice changer) told the NY Daily News that this is just “another example of Kim’s sickness“, saying she’s probably the one who tipped off the media. These two need to stop trying to drag their kid and the rest of the world into their decades old hate-on they have for each other. 

No word if yet if this will impact Baldwin’s co-hosting gig for the Oscars next month.

Looks like the next one could be a bit of a tag team affair with the curmudgeonly Simon Cowel and his upcoming American version of  The X-Factor in one corner, and the not so affable Ellen DeGeneres, producer Simon Fuller, and American Idol in the other. 

First the DeGeneres vs Cowell part. 

Multiple sources are reporting that the talk show host, who’s gone through a logistical minefield to juggle her schedule in order to accommodate both her show and her American Idol judging duties, has been put off by Cowell’s “prima donna” behavior.

The issue?  Cowell was over an hour and a half late for the first day of taping.

Apparently, Ellen doesn’t have time for people who make her wait and ended up contacting Fox exec Mike Darnell (who got her to join the show in the first place) to tell him to “hurry up and pick” Simon Cowell’s replacement.

Try as I might, I can’t really empathize with Ellen, seeing as how she’s supposedly getting $5 million for her services per year. (Memo to Fox, I’ll do it for one fifth her salary and promise not to bitch about tardy co-workers.)

Now for Fuller vs Cowell.

Producer Simon Fuller is also on the outs with Simon, who’s busy getting his Americanized version of the X-Factor  up and running.  Hardly surprising, given that Cowell’s show is going to be pretty much in direct competition with American Idol when it debuts next year.  Adding to the overall fun and games, Fuller, who produces and owns American Idol, is supposedly in a bidding war with Cowell and his X-Factor to land ex-Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola (the ex Mr Mariah Carey to you) as a judge.

Gotta admit, am interested to see who’s where and in what shape once the dust settles.  More on this as the drama unfolds…
