From Sanjaya acting normal, to blake being sexually frustrated

2007-03-31T03:05:00.000-04:00

Idol; Secrets! Uhh not really People magazine, this info is a bunch of crap. No past lovers? Secret drug-use, pissed off gay exes, diva behavior? Geez.

Lakisha Jones: The Single Mom

Age: 27
Relationship Status: Single
Pre-Idol: The mom to 4-year-old daughter Brionne worked as a bank teller in Fort Meade, Md.
The Fame Factor: "I've had a couple of guys call me and say 'Hey, baby ... ' I'm like 'Are you kidding me? Baby? I remember you didn't give me a return phone call. You remember that? Stop calling me, dude. It ain't happening.' "
Idol Style: "I am a little self-conscious because I am the heaviest girl of the bunch. But I try to keep it classy. I'm not going the shorter skirt route again."
Hidden Talent: "I am a great cook! I do oxtails, collard greens, some gravy, crab salad. But I don't bake. Cakes and stuff always fall down."
Backstage Secret: "The hard part is not being able to put my daughter (who's bunking with Grandma in Michigan) in bed with me at night. She sleeps so wild, she's all over the place. I used to move her off me, but now I would love to feel her kicking me or slobbering on my arm, you know?"
Why She Auditioned: "I just want a better life for my daughter and me. I don't ever want to go home and have my lights shut off again, or where I'm calling my friends and going, 'Can I borrow $20?' "

Melinda Doolittle: The Mom Figure

Age: 29
Relationship Status: Single
Pre-Idol: Brentwood, Tenn.-based backup singer for Aaron Neville, CeCe Winans and Idol alum George Huff
Why She Auditioned: "Some friends invited me to go with them to the Memphis audition, saying it would be fun to watch the funny singers," says Doolittle. "On the way we decided the whole car had to audition, and I ended up being the only one to make it."
Idol Style: "I'm a bit of a tomboy, so these heels and all this are not normal for me. It's fun, but it's like playing dress-up, so when I go home, it's snatch the wig off and lie down!"
Backstage Secret: "I am the oldest one here," she says, "so the other contestants call me Mama. I love to be silly. Everybody thinks I'm shy, but I'm not shy. I just get a little nervous occasionally."
The Makeover: "I am the worst," says Doolittle of her style sense. "Thank God I have help."

Phil Stacey: The Family Guy

Age: 29
Relationship Status: Married to Kendra, who gave birth to their second daughter, McKayla, while Dad was trying out.
Pre-Idol: U.S. Navy petty officer third class, stationed in Jacksonville, Fla.
What Made Him Audition: "My friend made me because I missed his wedding and that's how he said I could make it up to him. I'm glad he did!"
Backstage Secret: "I have this nervous habit where I cough before I go onstage. I get nervous, I cough – my parents have always yelled at me about it. I really need to get over it."
What's On His iPod? "Spice Girls. I'm a huge Spice Girls fan. They are the mac daddies of pop." - Uh.. intresting.

Sanjaya Malakar: The Shocker

Age: 17
Relationship Status: Single
Pre-Idol: Seattle high school student
Winning Strategy: "There's never been an Indian American Idol," says Malakar. "I want to be proof of the melting pot that America is. My strategy is to be myself. I'd like to appear like a normal person because I am a normal person." LIAR!
Fame Factor: "I don't want to be really angry or hurt, so I don't read what they say about me in the press or online."
Best Idol Bud: "Jordin and I have the high school thing going on, but I try to hang out with everyone."
Backstage Secret: "As soon as I get onstage, I have to pee. It never fails," says Malakar, who wears a lucky charm – his grandfather's wedding ring – to help calm his nerves.
Guest mentor he's psyched to meet: "Tony Bennett. When I heard he was going to be on, I was ecstatic."

Blake Lewis: The Beat Boxer

Age: 25
Relationship Status: Single
Pre-Idol: Performed as an a cappella musician, including a four-year gig with the Seattle group Kickshaw
Why He Auditioned: "I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for a long time. I've done improv comedy and rap videos with my friends, which are on YouTube. Doing that prepped me for being on TV."
Idol Style: "I started to make my own pants when I was in Seattle because I don't wear jeans," says Lewis, who has six tattoos. "I only wear these Caddyshack pants – I call them Grandpa pants. I like to put a little funk into everything."
Backstage Secret: "I'm sexually frustrated! I broke up with my girlfriend right before Hollywood week, which was sad. I have no game. I get scared because I regard women as the most beautiful creatures in the world. (GIRLFRIEND, IF YOU DO EXIST LET US KNOW). But when (I'm performing), it's easier because then they come talk to me. A tour could be fun!"
Who's On His iPod? "I love Robin Thicke. I wanted to do his music on the show but he didn't give clearance. Darn that Robin!"

Chris Richardson: The Timberlake Look-Alike

Age: 23
Relationship Status: Single
Pre-Idol: Restaurant supervisor at Hooters in Chesapeake, Va.
Music Background: "I've recorded for about five years," says Richardson. "I went to a studio (in Virginia Beach) one night and Justin Timberlake was recording his album. I played my guitar for him and we watched a basketball game."
Idol Style: "When I first came to L.A. I weighed 225 lbs. I would do label visits and they'd say they loved the music, but 'you need to lose weight.' Now I'm 180. I went on a strict diet and I work out religiously."
Backstage Secret: A brewing intra-Idol romance perhaps? A source spotted Richardson and Top 24 Idol Alaina Alexander – who's been sitting with Richardson's family during the shows – hanging out in L.A. "They weren't too affectionate in public," says the source, "but they were talking close to each other. They were having fun."
On Being Judged: "I'm my own worst critic. I see my performances and go, 'Oh, that's horrible.' " - And yet you continue being horrible.

Gina Glocksen: The Rocker Chick

Age: 22
Relationship Status: Dating Joe Ruzicka, a guitar player. (He's been in the audience holding her good luck charm, a stuffed lizard named Pickle.)
Pre-Idol: Chicago dental assistant and part-time singer.
The Fame Factor: "I get so down when I see (on blogs) 'Gina looked really big in that dress.' That's why they tell you not to read this stuff," she says. "It's a talent show, not America's Next Top Model. And I'm not that big!"
Backstage Secret: Although Glocksen usually sports a tongue piercing, "I was told not to have it in by (executive producer) Nigel Lythgoe," she says. "He said, 'It's middle America. Do you want votes or no?' " Glocksen followed Lythgoe's advice for a few weeks, but then put the stud back in.
Scandal Scarred: "I always think, 'That could be me,' " says Glocksen of the hubbub over the racy photos that surfaced featuring former Idol Antonella Barba. "That's why they have you tell (producers) what you've done in the past. Old friends will try to put the kibosh on you."
Idol Ritual: "Before I perform, I floss my teeth. I've seen a lot of people that don't even think about it, and the camera's right up in there."

Haley Scarnato: The Hottie(?)

Age: 24
Relationship Status: Engaged to Bobby Krudwig, a sales executive
Pre-Idol: Wedding singer in her native San Antonio
Fame Factor: Although she thinks it's "cute" that she has a fan club called "Haley's Comet," Scarnato doesn't want to know much more than that. "I completely stay away from the Internet and gossip – it's scary," she says. "I got recognized recently, which was weird. They said something about my mole!"
Guest Mentor She's Psyched to Meet: "Martina McBride," says the country fan. "I love her."
What's On Her iPod? "I love Elvis, which is shocking to people for some reason."
On Being Judged: "Some comments are pretty harsh. Ryan lightens the mood. It's nice to have him on that big stage next to you."

Jordin Sparks: Teen Wonder

Age: 17
Relationship Status: Single
Pre-Idol: High school junior and plus-size model
Music Background: Sparks toured with Christian singer Michael W. Smith. Her other training? Watching Idol since its first season. "I was, like, 11!" she says. (Actually, she was 12.) "I know what the past Idols have done and I know what looks good on TV and what looks not good."
Why She Auditioned: "When I'm on the stage, I feel like I can be myself and nobody will care. I love being up there. I love seeing the faces in the crowd. I love hearing the clapping when you're performing."
Idol Life: "My hair makes it hard for me to hide. I pull it back and people still recognize me. These little girls are so precious – they say, 'We vote for you all the time!' I love it. My dad (former NFL player Phillippi Sparks) was always in the spotlight, so I'm very comfortable with being in the spotlight, too."
What's On Her iPod? " 'N Sync and Hanson. I love 'MMMBop'!"

Awe they really don't hate each other!

2007-03-31T02:25:00.000-04:00

They totally do! The puppets are putting up a show. Any who, four of our favorite Idols, Blake, Haley, Jordin and that other girl with the hair were exclusively caught by TMZ getting some grub. Where's everyone else? I know they sure as hell ain't "training" and working on their vocal skills!

So how does the Idol leaving arrangements work out? I thought they had them all stuck in a house or something. I didn't think they could just walk out at will.

Because we love Nancy Grace

2007-03-31T02:10:00.000-04:00

Our beloved Nancy Grace of CNN's Nancy Grace along with outer overly-enthusiastic journalists, is getting some heat over her "breaking" stories about Michael Jackson's hospitalization. Bitch dedicated over half of her to all that bunch of bull-crap. It's been reported he was in no serious condition. Although with MJ... you never know what the hell is going on.

Well cheer up Nancy! We trust you all the way and love your show. Who else would've given us all that Anna Nicole Smith news overload, only you!

For all you gay idol fans

24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub graces the cover of Geek Monthly Issue 3. Pick up the issue to read Mary’s thoughts on her character as well as future plans outside of 24. As part of our extensive interview with the actress we talked tech and it turns out that Mary is not exactly as technically savvy as Chloe. That excerpt and some web exclusive photos below

Windows Vista DRM – Good or bad?
It’s outstanding. No, fair. Actually I don’t use a PC—we’re all on Macs. Is that weird?

What’s your favorite Linux distro?
The purple one?

Do you think the increase in performance between the Intel Duo and the Intel Core Duo is worth the price?
It’s a little expensive—overpriced.

What is a mouse?
The one I have at home is squishy—but on the show it’s just big—I have to work it with both hands.

In one episode you had to reboot the routers. Why did you have to do this yourself? Don’t you have patsies to do that stuff?
It’s like I have to do everything myself—no one else is to be trusted.

How much RAM is enough RAM?
I need more RAM.

There’s a theory on the net that Chloe has Asberger Syndrome…
I’ve heard about this—let’s just say I’m a genius and leave it at that. And that I can talk to dolphins.

Who knew this bitch was this hot

Interview with Chris Sligh

2007-03-29T18:27:00.000-04:00

On this exit interview from AOL, Chris explains his distaste with AI, and why he wanted to leave the show two weeks ago. He also talks about VFTW and Sanjaya. You just know there's more he wants to say... but he can't! AI owns his ass now.

"The judges gave you a hard time about your performance. In rehearsals, did you sense that you were going to have a problem with the rhythm?
I sang with Gwen on Saturday, and I had just picked that song out Friday afternoon after changing my song. I was originally going to do 'Give a Little Bit' covered by The GooGoo Dolls. But I really wanted to challenge myself a little bit more. By the time I got to rehearsals on Monday, I had started to get the rhythm down a little bit. But I actually went back and listened to my performance about 10 or 15 times. It wasn't a great performance, but it wasn't as bad as the judges made it seem. As soon as they gave me the spanking that they did, I kind of new I was going home.

You were an early favorite, but you kind of lost momentum. What do you think happened?
You know what I think it was? I never came into this wanting to win it. I come from an indie / alternative rock kind of background. For me, I think winning would hurt what I was really going for. I think what solidified it in my mind was when I was universally trashed for my arrangement of 'Endless Love.' I kind of thought it wasn't the competition for me. Actually, I almost dropped out that week. I went to the guy from 19 [Entertainment] and said, "If I drop out, can I still go on tour?" And they were like, "No, you have to get voted out." So I was like, "Well, we'll see what happens." This week, I really thought it was a good song for my voice and I gave it my best.

What $50 bet did you have with Phil Stacey?
I knew that I was going home. I had this feeling in my heart that I was going home. Pretty much nobody gets away from being trashed like I was unscathed. I told Phil I was going home. And he was like, "No way! There's no way you're going home before me." So I bet him $50, and he took me up on it and I won.

What did you think about the critiques you got from the judges?
All six songs were risks in one way or another, and I feel like that was ignored. And really, the judges never commented on my voice, and that was frustrating for me. At least say, "You have great vocals but I didn't like the arrangement." But it was never that.

Bob Jones University criticized your musical direction on 'American Idol.' What's your response?
I specifically kept my comments about Bob Jones to myself just for personal reasons. I don't want to throw them under the bus, and I respect what they do. It's just that their sect of Christianity is not what I want to be associated with.

Why did you decided to leave Bob Jones before graduating?
I didn't leave Bob Jones through a choice of my own. I actually got kicked out for going to a Christian contemporary concert. It was a band called For Him. So they kicked me out. It was actually good because I had been figuring out how to leave. My parents had given me the option to go to two colleges, and I chose the less crazy one believe it or not. I was 18 and didn't have the money to pay for college, so I chose what I could. No disrespect to Bob Jones, but again, it's just not the sect of Christianity I want to be associated with.

You were known for cracking jokes, but do you think your irreverence and sarcasm worked against you?
It's funny because I love the show, but at the same time there are some cheesy aspects I poked fun at. And there are people who love the show so much that anything you say bad about the show or Simon -- as I did, for instance -- they will literally write you hate mail. I had a blog and I would get hate mail for weeks after my comment to Simon. People said they hoped I would die because I told Simon I didn't sound like The Teletubbies. It kind of freaked me out. I hope that people would realize that me joking around about the show is very tongue and cheek.

When you said "Hi, Dave" the other week, were you addressing the founder of Votefortheworst.com?
I don't know if I should answer that question. (Laughs)

But doesn't a Website like that hurt you and help Sanjaya?
I think people underestimate Sanjaya. He's 17 years old. When I was 17, I don't think I knew how to sing in a live situation. I have a lot of respect for him, and I do not envy his position at all.

What would you change about the show?
I wish they would let songwriters sing their songs. I wish they'd let people play instruments. And the third thing is I wish that those who enjoy blogging would be able to blog about the experience. I mean, there are secret parts about the show that they don't want to get out, but I think it would be an interesting read. We work seven days a week, 10 to 15 hours a day. Not all of that is stuff that America doesn't need to know about.

Sanjaya doesn't care what you think! He knows he's going to win

2007-03-29T17:51:00.000-04:00

Sanjaya is becoming a little cocky bitch! I love the Sanjina but once he goes all diva on us, that is where I'll draw the line. Bitch don't have an album, bitch don't have no Oscar, all he has is that fab hair so bitch can't be no diva yet.

TMZ is reporting that they spoke to Sanjaya's family directly! And they were like

"Yeah Sanjaya know's he's got it going on, he don't need none of y'alls jealousy, so keep the hatin to yourselves bitches!"

Ok actually they didn't speak to her family, they spoke to a source close to the family who said

"You can write all you want, Sanjaya is here to stay!"

And a comment to votefortheworst.com,

"Thanks guys, but he doesn't need your votes."

I wouldn't be soo sure about that.

I gotta side with Rosie and Joy, Bush is a dumb ass and the sooner Elisabeth realizes that, the sooner she'll be more than that dumb blonde on the show.

Day 12

Sorry this wasn't up last night guys, I was just way too exhausted to even get into how I felt about last night's elimination. I thought it better to wait until today to be better rested.

I first want to say thanks to TMZ and the rest of you guys for worrying so much about me since then, that really means a lot. It's helping to get me through a rough time. Don't worry though, I'm still alive.

Of course Sanjaya should have been eliminated last night based on Tuesday's performances, that's a no brainer. Though for whatever reason, when the results were read I wasn't shocked by the outcome. Horribly dissapointed yes, but it seems like there is some part of me that is just getting used to him constantly being able to survive. Regardless, as much as I thought Chris Sligh was a good singer, if this were a "normal" season of American Idol and Sanjaya wasn't around, it would have been his night to go last night anyway.

As for me, as I'm sure many of you realized I wasn't really keeping up well with the page yesterday. Sorry about that. I am still feeling the toll this is taking on me. Another 7 days doesn't seem that bad though, so let's gear up for next week and boot Sanjaya at last!

I think I may actually have some suprises for you guys to look forward to in the next few days, I'll keep you posted.

Is Simon Cowell just a big queen?

2007-03-29T11:57:00.000-04:00

That's what the former cowboy from The Village People is claiming! The always reputable "Enquirer" asked Randy Jones which male celebrities set off his gay-dar. Among various celebs like singer Kenny Chesney and John Travolta who he called a big fat lady, he said Simon's bitchiness gives him off as a big queen.

“Times have changed. I think actors and singers should realize that they can still be successful even if they are openly homosexual,” Jones told The Enquirer in an exclusive interview.

“In my opinion, Simon Cowell is the biggest queen on TV. To me, he gives off a ‘bi/gay’ vibe and tends to carry on with bitchy, campy commentary. I know a lot of gay men and Simon seems to me like a ‘gay wannabe.’”

American Idol cuts the fat

2007-03-28T21:33:00.000-04:00

I had predicted Haley would leave tonight, but she ended up being in the bottom 2 with the un-lucky one to leave being Chris Sligh. Some of you might remember how he allegedly made the shout-out of death during a live show which probably pissed off the suits at American Idol. Well the bitch had looked worried for a while now, as if he knew he was going to get the axe.

Raising more speculation tonight, while singing his last AI tune he told Phil "You owe me 5o bucks."

I hope this gets juicy! Just as juicy as porky himself.

Sanjaya confident he will win, Paula don't want none of that

2007-03-28T19:31:00.000-04:00

Extra Tv is reporting that newly-sober judge Paula Abdul isn't very fond of Sanjaya Malakar. Just like Simon said it, she believes it doesn't matter what they say anymore it's all in the hands of us gullible Americans. Paula obviously doesn't care about Sanjaya because he's gay. Not that she's a homophobe, but that just means she can't fuck him.

"Sanjaya’s latest shock and awe on Tuesday night’s “Idol” left everyone gawking and talking about his Mohawk.

But for Paula Abdul, the new look left her speechless, and only “Extra’s” Terri Seymour was in the limo with Paula right after Sanjaya’s mane surprise.

“Sanjaya to me… it’s just running amuck,” Paula said, saying Simon said it best when he admitted, “I don’t think it matters anymore what we say actually.”

On Wednesday morning, Rosie O’Donnell was quick to give her “View,” asking if Sanjaya was ever going to prove that he can really sing.

“They were saying last night, the judges, that they think he can sing. I’m like, ‘Is he going to show us ever?’” Rosie said.

But Sanjaya has victory on the mind.

“I’m going to win ‘American Idol’ because they need a fresh new face,” the confident wannabe proclaimed.

We were behind the scenes with all of the “Idols” for their first ever People magazine photo shoot, where Haley showed off her sexy legs and Blake revealed his confident side.

“I will win ‘American Idol’ because I'm being true to myself,” he told us.

Meanwhile, Jordin Sparks told us, “I love singing, I love performing, I love getting ready for it. I love it all! I want to do it for the rest of my life.”

TMZ has learned that just moments ago, "E! News" host Giuliana DePandi and a slew of other E! Entertainment Television employees were evacuated from their Los Angeles office building after a "bomb threat" was phoned into security.

Sources tell TMZ that two threatening phone calls were made from two different overseas locations.

We're told that Ryan Seacrest was not in the building at the time of the evacuation. Police sources tell TMZ that a security guard on scene reported the threats, and LAPD is currently at the location.

The EMI-Capitol Music Company and the G4 Network are also occupants of the building. The structure was used as the D&D Ad Agency in "Melrose Place!"

A source tells us that occupants of the building are being told that they will be kept out for at least an hour.

Most popular salesman, Q&A with Rainn Wilson

2007-03-28T14:09:00.000-04:00

His work as a mortician's apprentice got him noticed. His turn as eccentric paper salesman Dwight Schrute made him famous.

Now producers can't seem to get enough of actor Rainn Wilson. A star of NBC's Emmy-winning comedy "The Office," and an alumnus of HBO's hit drama "Six Feet Under," Wilson is being offered roles for the first time in his 14-year career. And whenever "The Office" goes on hiatus, he takes them.

The latest such role is as a disarmingly normal science teacher in the family film "The Last Mimzy," which opened Friday.

He'll be back to weird in "Bonzai Shadowhands," a movie he wrote. Several other films are in line behind that one.

It's a dream life for the Seattle native, who used to do odd jobs to supplement his acting career. Wilson, 41, talked with The Associated Press about what's next.

Q: How has "The Office" changed your life?

RAINN WILSON: I get recognized a lot. When you're an actor on a TV show that people love, and you play kind of a goofball, they instantly think that they're your best friend. I'm there with my wife and kid and they're wanting to engage in having a buddy-buddy conversation. I try to be nice and grateful to my fans -- my billions and billions of fans. But at the same time I like to keep my privacy going a little bit.

Q: What is it about the show that has connected with so many people?

WILSON: No matter how absurd the humor gets, it's believable and grounded and people identify with the characters. They've just kind of fallen in love with the world and the characters. Our show is really like appointment television. Of the 10 million people who watch our show, a very large percentage tune in every week and have to see every show to find out what's going to happen next.

Q: "Six Feet Under" was like that, too.

WILSON: I've been so lucky. There's been so much kind of dreck on television and I have been on two of the greatest shows.

Q: How did you get involved with "The Last Mimzy"?

WILSON: (Director) Bob Shaye sent me the script and offered me the role. For an actor who's been struggling for 13 or 14 years professionally to all the sudden be getting scripts sent, it's insane. I read it and I was deeply and genuinely moved by it.

Q: Plus you get a chance to play a normal, hippie teacher.

WILSON: There's a particular brand of West Coast -- and particularly the Pacific Northwest -- of hippie type of character. I call them the healthy hippies. Hippies you always think of as kind of unwashed and really drugged out. But the healthy hippies, they go to the organic bakery in the morning and they have a latte and a bran muffin. Then they have their kayaking lesson and you know, their Birkenstocks, maybe an earring to be a little bit rebellious. And maybe they've got a band or they're going to Burning Man. And they have a day job that's pretty normal. But they're not hippies per se. They're just outdoorsy, alternative livers. That's what I tried to tap into.

Q: You got all that background growing up?

WILSON: My parents were hippies in Seattle. My name is Rainn. So it was all right there for me.

Q: Are you still blogging as Dwight for "The Office"?

WILSON: I am and I owe them a blog. Thanks for reminding me.

Q: What other projects do you have in the works?

WILSON: "Kanan Rhodes" ... is a really funny, kind of over-the-top comedy from Bob Odenkirk. It's like a surreal "Ace Ventura." It's about a man who serves subpoenas and takes himself way too seriously. "Bonzai Shadowhands" I'm writing. It's about a down-and-out alcoholic ninja, a once-great ninja trying to put his life back together. I'm doing that with Jason Reitman who directed "Thank You for Smoking." And I have a couple other projects I'm working on and things I'm developing. You strike when the iron's hot and I spent long years slogging by, doing New York theater and spending months and months out of the year unemployed, doing odd jobs to get by. Now I'm going to just take a couple years and work hard and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Q: Did you always want to be an actor?

WILSON: I don't really have an exciting story about that. I just always wanted to be an actor. I started doing plays in high school, kept at it in college and decided, if I'm really going to be an actor, I need to study it. So I went to the graduate acting program at New York University and did a three-year training program in acting over there.

Q: How do you spend your free time?

WILSON: I'll get some time off with my wife (author Holiday Reinhorn) and kid (Walter) and spend weekends with them. We bought a little cabin in Oregon, so we'll go up there when we get off weeks. It's all about my 2 1/2-year-old, pretty much, so free time is about taking him on a walk, taking him shopping, taking him to the playground, play dates, stuff like that. What I do for myself is tennis. I try and get a couple of good tennis games in a week, which is really fun and relaxing for me.

Q: Is there a dream role for you? What is the goal?

WILSON: I'm really kind of living the goal right now. I'm pretty much living the life I really always wanted to have and that's a pretty extraordinary thing.

Paris is not a virgin after all

2007-03-27T11:45:00.000-04:00

Randy Spelling (blue cap), son of Aaron Spelling is claiming that he stole Paris's precious virginity at 15! He was 17. They dated for over 2 months until her dumb-ass grandma pulled them apart. Grandmas always know what's going on, she probably smelled all the jizz on Paris's body.

"HOLLYWOOD - Socialite Paris Hilton lost her virginity to TV producer Aaron Spelling's son Randy, according to the former Sunset Beach star himself.

The 26-year-old actor, who co-starred with his former flame in the 2006 straight-to-video movie Pledge This!, claims they had sex together when Hilton was just 15--three years shy of the legal age of consent in California.

Randy tells the New York Daily News, "We were together for, like, two months.

"We went to Palm Springs once for the weekend, and we couldn't check into the hotel under her name because her grandma was looking for her.

"She was, like, 15; I was 17. And what do you know, I hear this knock-knock-knock on the door, and I look out and her grandma's there. And then I look out the window and I see Paris in a full-on dress with a suitcase running down the golf course. We broke up like a week later."

Randy said he recently bumped into Hilton at a Los Angeles nightclub, and she has a special place in her heart for him.

He enthuses, "She came up to me and she was like, 'I want to say hi to Randy.' She was like, 'Randy took my virginity. I want to say hi.'"

Randy's Sons of Hollywood reality TV costar David Weintraub, adds, "Randy was Paris' number one and her number 50 and number 150.""

Ha! Number 150, and she reached that number when she was 18 so who knows where she's at now.

Project Runway judge Nina Garcia and her husband, David Conrod, welcomed their first child on Saturday: 7 lb., 6 oz. Lucas Alexander Conrod, Garcia's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Arriving at an unfashionably early hour (6:03 a.m.), Lucas made a great first impression on his parents nonetheless. Garcia and Conrod "are very excited to finally meet their new son," her rep tells PEOPLE. "They are all doing great."

Garcia, 41, is the fashion director of Elle magazine; Conrod is a senior managing director at Guggenheim Capital.

Confirming her pregnancy in October, Garcia told PEOPLE, "This baby must have some amazing fashion sense, waiting until empire waists and volume came back into fashion!"

Over at VH1, Traci Bingham from who knows what the hell she is famous for won in The Surreal Life: Fame Games beating out Vanilla Ice for 100,000 dollars. It's really hard to tell which one of the contestants needed the money more badly, I'm sure they all equally did. Anyway, I caught a few episodes and realized that Vanilla Ice is a total douche bag. He trashed the set like 6 times and told everyone off and took everything overly personal. Bitch deserved to lose. So the whole premise of the show for those who don't care for this kind of thing is that all these B-list celebrities are fighting for the money and a spot on the A-list Hollywood Elite...

Yeah she's totally A-list now...Here is a super-exclusive interview with the winner directly from VH1. Look at her, she's beaming with happiness.

Congratulations!

Thank you. Thank you, thank you. I was beaming for, like, three weeks after we filmed [last year]. Everyone was like, "What is wrong with you?" and I couldn't tell anybody because we were under contract. I was running around in the dress we wore at the end of the show, in Vegas. I don't think anyone expected me to win. And once I heard the snickering, people talking about how I wasn't going to win, I said, "Oh yeah?" And here's my quote: Never, ever underestimate the power of a Bingham. Just when you think we're last, we kick ass and win.

It seemed like you really took the show to heart, like when you were upset about being on the B-list.

No one really knew the rules of the game when we first walked in the house. I was upset being on the B-list because I felt like when I was on a team with the B-lister people, no one seemed like they gave a s***. I wasn't used to hanging around with people who didn't give a s***. I'm an all-or-nothing type of gal. I don't half-ass anything. I'm a really great competitor.

Do you think that attitude was key to your success?

Yes. I thought of the show as an opportunity to not only have some fun, but to make some good, easy, fun money. But you had to work for it, and I don't think that anybody really got that. I don't think that anybody really realized that it was their opportunity to shine or their opportunity to show that they were different from the first seasons we were on. Nobody cared so I was like, "Yeah, I'm gonna care." And when I care about something and stay positive, I usually get my way.

Who was your stiffest competition?

I know that Rob really wanted to win because he as kicking butt all the way through. A few times he said he didn't care about winning, but his actions were saying, "Not only am I winning this, but I'm taking all of you down." And I love competitive spirit. I knew Pep wanted to win, because she envisioned it. She has this gift, she's kind of clairvoyant or psychic. She was seeing things or feeling things and maybe freaked out a few people.

Did Pep predict your victory?

I think in her mind, she saw a brown-skinned woman winning, so it was either her or me, because those are the only two brown women that I knew on that show.

What did you think of Rob's final freak-out, when he trashed the set?

I know he's a very boisterous, and, as they say, an angry man. But that day, when he did that, I had fear for the first time because of him, and that's when I ran over to hug Robin Leach. I saw the look in Robin's face, and I knew that he was freaked out, too, and that this was real. It was really weird to see that. It's like, you have a beautiful family, and you've got great money, you have a great career, people still love you…I think what set him off was that he felt set up, but it was a game. It was a game! I told everyone in the beginning that we can be all buddy-buddy and laugh and be friendly, but it's still a game, and there's going to come a time when we have to turn on each other. And I want you to know that if there comes a point where it's between you or me, it's gonna be me going ahead and turning on you because I want to win.

Even though you were fiercely competitive, it seemed like you were cool with everyone in the house, and there was a lot of drama amongst the others.

I like to think that I pretty much am a cool person. I may be in this business and have done very well for myself, but if I weren't in this business, I would still be a cool person. I think people are shocked when they meet me because I'm very sweet and outgoing. I'm very touchy-feely. I'm not a diva. But if you cross me or piss me off, you will see my ugly side.

Was Chyna Doll the person you bonded with most?

Definitely. I get her personality. She may get a bad rap for being Chyna and going through what she has in her life, but no one's perfect. I liked her also because, and you didn't see this on the show, but because of the stories she would tell about her life and all the horrible things that happened to her that I could relate to. I just instantly became her friend because we were on the B-list together. But we're friends to this day. I would do anything for her. We talk and text each other all the time.

It's a rubber-chicken shot reunion!

Absolutely. Everywhere I go, people are doing rubber-chicken shots. It's something that we're working on making an international thing. She and I made it up. She brought the chicken in, in with a huge bag of toys. We were bored, so I thought, "Let's get the chicken drunk." And we made a play out of it. It became our thing. "RCS" is our code name for "rubber-chicken shot." Sometimes, Chyna Doll will text me, "RCS" and I'll just start laughing.

What went down between you and Verne, when you shared the bed with him?

I never ever ever ever ever had sex with Verne Troyer. It never happened, it never would happen, it never will happen. Every night we were there, I would go in and visit him, whether we were on the B-list or the A-list, because a) he didn't want to be there, b) he was sick, and c) his wisdom teeth were coming in. I really felt bad for him, I just wanted to cheer him up. When I was talking about, "I wanna have a baby," I was talking about having a baby with my fiancee, not with Verne. But he's a sweet guy, I'd do anything for him. I crash in bed with all my friends and family. If you're hanging out, that's what you do. I didn't have sex, I never would. I wouldn't disrespect myself, my fiancé or him like that, especially in that manner on national television. So for all those people who thought I did, you're absolutely wrong. Besides, what hole would it fit in anyway?

Your nostril? You also had a really strong bond with Ron.

Love Ron. Ron Jeremy is so cool to me. I don't care what anyone says. I don't care for his porno, but, hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. He's just a really good friend. He's very intelligent and funny.

What did you do with the money you won from Surreal Life Fame Games?

Basically, it's in an investment banking account. I'm still deciding what I want to do with it. I have a bunch of ideas. I want to give some money to my brother who's terminally ill with cancer. Of course, I'm a girl, I have to shop. And I also want to give money to charity. But I didn't do the show for the money; I did it for the fun. I would have done it for free.

Tell me about what's coming up for you.

I'm going to be in a movie called Hanging in Hedo, which I shot in Jamaica with Judy Tenuda and Sherman Helmsley. I've got a new line of home décor, pillows, blankets, candles. Things like that. I'm working on a clothing line. I've got a TV series that's in development right now, it's a sitcom. And then I've got a possibly a lingerie line coming out. And there's a few shows that I'll be hosting. Things are going really well. I'm just enjoying my life right now.

Is fame all that it's cracked up to be?

That's a really hard question. What you see on TV is not what you get. Fame can feel good and be good if you do it the right way. You see Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton getting pulled over, getting DUIs, going to rehab, cutting off their hair, running around like crazy people. These are beautiful, wealthy, young women who can do anything they want and have everything they want, and they chose to mess up their lives by doing ridiculous things. OK, they're young, they're experimenting. That's what you do when you're young. But how much more do you have to keep destroying their bodies and their lives and their youths? They're going to start looking older than their parents if they continue doing that. So, is fame all that it's cracked up to be? It can be if you do it right, and if you respect yourself. Just do everything in moderation and then you can enjoy everything and anything you want in your life.

Clinton really digs Sandra Oh

2007-03-26T13:48:00.000-04:00

"Former President Bill Clinton is a big fan of "24" even though "an uber right-wing guy" produces the Emmy-winning political thriller, he said to the media after presenting TV Land's new baby-boomer catering schedule on Friday.

Clinton also told TV advertisers Friday that his favorite show is the medical drama "Grey's Anatomy, and and he appreciates "Boston Legal" for the dynamic between
William Shatner and James Spader. "It's something to behold," he said.

As for "24" which was co-created by noted Republican Joel Surnow, Clinton said he enjoys the fact that conservatives and liberals alike can be the bad guys in the show. "They're trying to be fair," Clinton said.

"As you know, my wife is away, so I'm home alone a lot," Clinton said of Sen.
Hillary Clinton, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. "I'm particularly grateful to TV Land for giving me something to do at night."

The Viacom-owned cable network, a part of MTV Networks, TV Land also announced several new series, a new movie night which begins on Fridays in early April, and the arrival of NBC hit sitcoms "Scrubs" and "Just Shoot Me.""

Scrubs - Awwe, I've always rooted for this show.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - After like the first three episodes it just became this huge mess but I still enjoyed having all that smart rumbling in the background.

Supernatural - It's good to see this sci-fi stuff being combined with soap-ish elements. Keep it around why the hell not

Don't save one of these

Gilmore Girls - Gross, it's had it's run, just let it die already.
Veronica Mars - Hate it, I'm just a CW hater.
Friday Night Lights - This show looks like it belongs on the CW
Crossing Jordan - This crap is still on?!
One Tree Hill- grossness

2007-03-26T12:20:00.000-04:00

I don't care how much fat Star Jones loses, she still looks like half-dead mummy. Maybe if bitch would've done it the natural way she would be looking good, but no all that cutting and nipping and tucking makes you look like a pile of melting shit. Props for hiding those wonky boobs tho. Here she is slobbing around near some pool for her 68th birthday.

Thanks to Just Jared

Dr. Pepper has finally revealed the real cause of Anna Nicole Smith's death, and it is none other than... brace yourselves... DRUG OVERDOSE! What! But how? I bet you didn't see that coming for miles away. Just as it was leaked last week by Star and Enquirer magazine, she injected something in her butt cheek, infecting it and causing her a great deal of pain. Then to go to sleep she took a bunch of meds that no one should probably have given her in the first place.

What I honestly do find surprising is that they've decided to not charge or even investigate Howard K. Stern for her death when clearly he was the mastermind behind everything. Oh well, karma is a bitch Howard!

Pre-rehab gayness

2007-03-26T12:05:00.000-04:00

Recently, alcoholic Jesse Metcalfe was spotted in the beach with his hag, er girlfriend and rose questions of why the paparazzi were still following his ass around? Well it wasn't the papz, he was just doing another "I really do like women!" photoshoots for some trashy tabloid. The fab pictures for Ok! Magazine... by the way his girlfriend is part of some UK girl group which I don't care for.

Sunday Becks

2007-03-25T19:47:00.000-04:00

According to the always reliable Daily Star magazine from the UK is reporting that Posh is just to boring for us Americans, and NBC will be adding a male assistant to "spice" things up between the Becks. As long as he's British fine by me! Especially one of those old school Brits with the little round hat and cane.

"THE Beckhams will be joined on their US reality TV show by a trouble-making male assistant under orders to “spice things up”.

Bosses at NBC, who are spending £10million on the series, believe the couple will be too boring on their own.

So they have drawn up plans to bring in the aide – a “cross between Rambo and Mr Bean” – who will be briefed to get on Posh’s nerves.

And it is hoped the friction will create scenes of domestic chaos similar to those in The Osbournes. An NBC insider said: “They’ve already had a camera team following Victoria around while she’s been house-hunting and looking for schools for the kids and it’s a bit mundane. “You could be forgiven for falling asleep.”

The one moment of real excitement, exclusively revealed in the Daily Star Sunday three weeks ago, came when Posh, 32, was chased from a classroom by the school mascot – a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig. "That’s fun footage,” said the insider. “But Victoria was terribly embarrassed and may well block it from ever being shown.

“Instead, she wanted the cameras to just follow her to business meetings.

"Everyone realised something had to be done to spice things up a bit. “A team is already working on scenarios with loosely-scripted lines whereby the personal assistant-cum-bodyguard comes over as a cross between Rambo and Mr Bean and gets right under Victoria’s skin.”"

To make your Sunday complete, here are some pics of the Becks at some event none of you could ever get into. Look at those incredible boobs! They're hypnotizing; stare at them for 15 minutes and they will begin to give you instructions.

Janice Dickinson isn't sitting tight after seeing what Harvey Levin from TMZ.com had to say about her behavior and her va-jay-jay. In what looks more like a scripted fued (and probably is), Janice attacks Harvey and refers to his "journalisitc" skills as being lower than low and that he doesn't know shit about anything.

Someone just give him attention

2007-03-22T11:51:00.000-04:00

Former Desperate Housewive's, but most importantly, former Passions' star Jesse Metcalfe has checked himself into some imaginary rehab. He entered the "private" center because of his alcohol abuse. I think some tabloid out there has the real scoop on him, that he used to be a gay hustler. They've threatened to expose him if he doesn't give them all his exclusives and he just cracked under the pressure. (Yeah I watched that Dirt episode, and I liked it!) Hey any thing's possible with that douche.

Anyway the best part of this whole thing is the semi-biographical statement released by his publicist;

"On Monday, March 19, Jesse Metcalfe entered a rehab facility to deal with alcohol issues. He realized he had a problem and was anxious to deal with it immediately. The actor, best known as the hunky gardener on the ABC show 'Desperate Housewives' and the star of the film 'John Tucker Must Die,' hopes that the media will allow him the privacy to deal properly with his treatment."

What no mention of Passions? Probably his greatest work ever!

So long Stephanie!

2007-03-21T21:31:00.000-04:00

Although dialidol.com's lowest score was for Haley Scarnato, it was actually Stephanie Edwards who got the boot on American Idol. If anyone else noticed, last night right after the lines were opened up Stephanie was in last place and Chris above her. Maybe they should stick to the early results. By the way if you're planning on seeing the Idol tour this year, your lucky ass will get to see Sanjaya! Since he made it to the top 10 he will now be part of the tour.

Um, didn't really care for her so.. be safe and good luck.

Chris Sligh, you dumb ass

2007-03-21T20:40:00.000-04:00

First of all, I don't like porky one bit, he's no Taylor Hicks (who I couldn't stand either) and his "Fro Patro" crap better not catch on or I'll beat everyone with Sanjaya's gay porn stack.

Well the dumbass might be in trouble because of a special last night shout-out which some believe was directed at Votefortheworst.com's webmaster Dave Della Terza.

Votefortheworst.com is like a huge no-no around American Idol although they just kinda throw it off as being irrelevant. The site gets bigger every year, last year's VFTW pick, Taylor Hicks, ended up winning the whole enchilada and his dwindling success after the show has made some come to the conclusion that the site ultimately helped in getting Hicks votes during the show.

Now that a current contestant actually (and allegedly) acknowledged the site on air during the show proves how huge and influential the site has been. Bad news for America, and worse news for Idol.

Although it could be just a misunderstanding since VFTW's current pick is Sanjaya, Terza has already taken credit for the shout out,

"Best Episode of Idol EVER. EVER. I mean, come on now. Between Sanjaya giving the most VFTW worthy performance in the history of the show and Chris Sligh giving me a shoutout on national TV and pissing off the judges (and probably producers)… I must say I love this show. I’ve got to vote for Sanjaya out of loyalty since he’s the VFTW pick, but I don’t see how Chris Sligh can’t be our backup when Sanjaya leaves if he loves VFTW so much. And we love him! Chris, you are the man. And Sanjaya, you are hysterical. I love them both so much right now, I want to kiss them. You guys are so awesome." - VFTW

You can see a clip of the incident in this previous post which is most likely why the judges gave Ryan that reaction.

I'm sure the head dogs at Idol have looked into the situation by now and have severely punished Porky Sligh. His face will tell it all tonight, so stay tuned.

Who's gonna land the Britney Spears interview

2007-03-21T19:39:00.000-04:00

"Who should get the Britney Spears interview?

After 27 days, Britney Spears is out of rehab and on the loose. No doubt the paparazzi will be hounding her more than ever, but you know that the traditional media-types are also calling for the story. At some point, Britney will talk. Was she an alcoholic? Was it drugs? Exhaustion? Or post-partum depression? Inquiring minds need to know!

But, who will she talk to? The options are varied. She could go to Oprah or Barbara Walters-- those two would be the biggies. Katie Couric is no doubt calling. And Matt Lauer. And Diane Sawyer. People magazine is a possibility, or maybe even something a little more upscale like Vanity Fair.

There's always David Letterman, who frequently gets surprise visits from Britney. (Although, that would be a big letdown because ol' Dave will probably let her off the hook after a joke or two) I'd like to see her talk to Oprah. That's an interview I'd probably watch. I'd like Oprah to ask her why she doesn't wear panties, what she sees in Kevin Federline, and of course what the hell happened that she shaved her head and attacked a photographer with an umbrella?!? If Oprah doesn't consider her guest to be her BFF, she does a great job asking really tough questions.

Of course, Britney could take the high road and ignore all the media requests. That would be truly awesome."

Go with Oprah! Or even better, come to me! My mom can take care of the kids and and I have plenty of red bull on hand so we could go on for hours.

Prison Break headed to a third season

2007-03-21T18:59:00.000-04:00

"Fox has picked up the action drama "Prison Break" for a third season. Details on the serialized drama's story line for next season are being kept under wraps, but it is understood that brothers Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) -- who recently escaped to Panama with the FBI hot on their trail -- and many of their fellow fugitives would end up back behind bars, possibly in Panama."It essentially will be a new chapter," creator/executive producer Paul Scheuring said. "It's going to return to the fundamental conceit, to the roots of what the show was about."In its first season, "Break" featured most characters locked in prison and planning an escape.

The current second season chronicles the manhunt that ensued after the core group broke out."They got scattered in the winds -- their stories became separate and defused," Scheuring said. "They will come back together again, (and) their conflicts and interactions will return."

The options on the "Break" actors are not due for a pickup until May, but it is understood that a significant number of the regulars this season will return in the fall. The show also will introduce many new characters, Scheuring said.But while stars Miller and Purcell will return next season, don't consider them safe, Scheuring said, hinting that one of them might not survive beyond the first couple of episodes.Scheuring already has begun scouting locations for Season 3. Production will be based in Dallas. There will be splinter units working in Florida, which has doubled for Panama this year, and Louisiana, also expected to double for Panama.

In its second season, "Break" has averaged 9.1 million viewers and a 3.7 rating/10 share among adults 18-49. The series ranks No. 1 in its 8 p.m. Monday period in adults 18-34 and No. 1 among adults 18-49."Break" is the third live-action series to receive an early pickup for next season, joining the dramas "House" and "Bones.""

Before we get to the stupidity of Chris Sligh thanking people he shouldn't, some observant viewer caught what she thinks is some kind of obscene hand gesture. This might explain why the judges were laughing at Seacrest's ass towards the end.

I think that means it's Simon's turn to get it on with Chris. Gross you know they probably have all kinds of orgies after the show, the loser gets a bukkake!

"In her ongoing effort to focus on her well-being, Nicole has recently been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. [She] is taking steps to manage it.”

The little crying girl from last night's "American Idol", and my new favorite person has been revealed. She's 13-year-old Ashley Ferl from Riverside and the story is her family won tickets for a taping of "Smarter Than a 5th Grader" on a website. The tickets also included attending the dress rehearsal for Idol where future "Where are they now" subject Ashley turned on the waterworks and producers quickly noticed and asked the family to attend the live taping. Hmm... props to the smart-ums at Idol.

Aw the precious thing, right now she's either the most popular girl at school, or everyone is trashing the hell out of her. Am I evil for hoping it's the latter? Is that even how you spell latter?

The Daniel Inquest

2007-03-20T18:07:00.000-04:00

Entertainment Tonight hit the jack-pot when Anna Nicole died, and I know that sounds extremely harsh but they are making it seem that way. They have been covering her since about the time of Daniel's death and tonight they ask "was Daniel anorexic"? Watch as more nobodies show up out of nowhere to reveal secrets about the deceased.

"Was Daniel grappling with anorexia before he died?
The countdown to the inquest continues...

THIS JUST IN: ET has learned that summons have been sent out for individuals to appear at the inquest. The Bahamas have no jurisdiction over the U.S. legal system, so they're depending on the courtesy of those summoned to appear.

In just a few days, starting March 26, the official inquest into DANIEL SMITH's untimely death will take place with Chief Magistrate ROGER GOMEZ reportedly presiding over the inquiry.As the various key players prepare to participate in the inquest, ANNA NICOLE SMITH's former friends, G. BEN THOMPSON and his son-in-law FORD SHELLEY, share the revelation that Daniel may have been grappling with anorexia." [Anna] was worried he was anorexic," Shelley tells ET's MARK STEINES."He had a touch of anorexia and depression and we had been told that he had been hospitalized [before]," says Thompson.

On September 10, 2006, Anna Nicole's son died at the age of 20 while visiting his mom and newborn baby sister, DANNIELYNN, in the Bahamas. The cause of death was later determined to be a lethal combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro.Daniel had reportedly been depressed over a relationship, and Thompson says he believes the young man had been prescribed medication for his depression. Along with that, Thompson says, "He just couldn't eat.""Daniel was going through a rough time, emotionally," says Shelley. "We know that because we shared those months with Anna and she told us."

Watch ET for more on Daniel as the countdown to the inquest continues..."

Hey how cool is this

2007-03-20T17:45:00.000-04:00

I just discovered this. TUAW does this free Tuesday thing where they post all the itunes you can get for free. I'm sure today is a bad Tuesday, but stay tuned for the coming weeks for some great downloads. Anyway they do have some free The Agency, and The Hills. Personally I wouldn't even download anything from MTV if they were paying me, but I'm just a stuck up bitch.

TV Shows
US: The Andy Milonakis Show: Andy Moves to LAAndy Milonakis has packed up his stuff and moved to L.A. to unleash his special brand of idiocy on the unsuspecting West Coast. Armed with a new blue shirt and a few new friends, Andy is still up to his same old tricks - messing with delivery men, old people, young people, animals, inanimate objects, food, Ralphie, ants, the sky, cars, nose hair, action figures, and famous people. Celebrity guests include Hilary Duff, Sarah Silverman, Three 6 Mafia, Paul Reubens, and Bow Wow.

US: Raines, PilotJeff Goldblum (Independence Day) joins Emmy Award-winning writer-producer Graham Yost (Band of Brothers) and acclaimed director-writer-producer Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption) in this inventive police drama that blends noir storytelling with modern intrigue, quirky humor, and the mysteries of the human psyche.

US: The Naked Brothers Band, Alex's Skate Tips (Webisode)Being in a band is awesome. But being in a band with all of your friends is even more AWESOME! The band gets their first nomination for a video music award, Alex starts his own clothing line, and things get a little weird between Nat and Rosalina. Get ready to rock on with the first season of The Naked Brothers Band and download TV episodes, music videos, and free webisodes.

US: Workout, Episode 201 (Frepeat)Jackie Warner is back. The outspoken and hard-bodied owner of the exclusive Beverly Hills gym, Sky Sport and Spa, returns for a second season. She's got a new business - a weight loss boot camp, a new trainer joining her sexy crew, and a whole lot of new drama as she tries to get her personal life into fighting shape. This season tensions are rising at Sky as Jackie applies more heat on the trainers, because the success of her ambitious new business venture depends on them stepping up. After making a highly charged decision about fiery girlfriend, Mimi, at the end season one, Jackie struggles with the possibility of bringing Mimi back into her life. We'll also sweat it out alongside Jackie's clientele, including celebrities, moguls, and the people who will pay any price to come to Sky for the ultimate work out.

US: The Agency, Fashion Week Episode (Frepeat)While top models are built to be the picture of perfection, the modeling industry is anything but perfect. Now, for the first time, meet the people who brave the world of high-stakes modeling on a quest for pure beauty: the booking agents of the Wilhelmina Modeling Agency. In the words of one Wilhelmina agent: "If people ask me what I do, I give a pretty simple answer; it's like, we sell flesh." The Agency infiltrates the modeling industry like no other television series has, with a stark look at the men and women who search for, mold, scold, and comfort raw, young hopefuls - all in an effort to groom the world's most marketable beautiful people. The Agency is not about glamour. It's about the harsh realities of an industry in which millions of dollars are at stake daily and the competition for talent can lead to both euphoric victories and bitter defeats. From eating disorders to money disputes to ego clashes to poaching by other agencies, The Agency casts an unblinking eye on the super-high-stress jobs of the people who are completely hooked on the business of brokering beauty.

US: The Hills/Who Do You Trust? (Freepeat)With a year in Los Angeles under their belts, Lauren Conrad and her friends Heidi, Audrina, and Whitney are learning that being young women in the big city isn't as easy as they thought. The girls are older, wiser, and now single, facing new challenges at work and school. But this year when new boys force them to make tough choices, Lauren and the girls are about to find out that not even friendships can be taken for granted.

Thanks to TUAW!

You so pretty

I've always been a fan of Jennifer Aniston in jeans. The former Friend's star was seen strolling around with her very pretty dog whom I now want to kidnap.

Jennifer Aniston will be a guest star in the season finale of friend Courtney Cox's Dirt. You can catch Perez Hilton on the show tonight (don't worry it's after Idol) on FX.

Adam Sandler; Letterman's replacement for the night

2007-03-20T17:27:00.000-04:00

According to Best Week Ever, Adam Sandler will take over hosting duties for David Letterman who has gone home sick of a stomach flu.

Good luck to Sandler, and get well soon Mr. Letterman!

Maybe they shouldn't cancel that show

2007-03-20T16:42:00.000-04:00

Even though the news seem to be that Veronica Mars won't be cancelled after all, this picture of the show's star, Kristen Bell, has me hoping it sticks for a while longer.

Did you know?

2007-03-20T16:29:00.000-04:00

Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl isn't letting her low pay at Grey's keep her from doing other projects. Heigl, who plays Dr. "Izzie" Stevens will begin working on a romantic comedy titled 27 Dresses. She'll portray the usual "always a bridesmaid never a bride" type of character who happens to fall in love with her sisters husband-to-be. Oooh, juicy.

Heigl will also be starting in Knocked Up (June 1). In the comedy she plays a woman who ends up pregnant from a one night stand (ugh how many times has THAT happened to you?) who decides she wants the best for the brat and desires to build a relationship with the douche of a father. The movie is always being hyped at the E! channel.
