Jessica Alba Redeems Herself For At Least A Few Days

  • Actress Jessica Alba did something nice for a sick girl, and if you focus on the pictures and edit out the exclamation points in the copy, the story is kind of sweet. (That's just... I got something in my eye, is all. Shut up.) [Star]
  • The latest rumored comeback strategy for Britney Spears is a reality show supposedly being pitched to several major networks by her once and current manager Larry Rudolph. Past rumors focused on a concert tour, t-shirt line and something involving Danish furniture. This one has the advantage of working even if the singer loses her shit again. [Oh No They Didn't]
  • Apparently Spears is an insult to the artistic integrity of Doogie Howser. Neil Patrick Harris of How I Met Your Mother, formerly of Doogie, dissed Spears, who recently did a cameo: "I'm in the minority that feels our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed... I worry that if they start Will and Grace-ing us too much, that the show will suffer. We're all really proud of the content of the show." [OK!]
  • George Clooney's girlfriend is not only stashing her clothes at his place, but also took the bold step of installing scented candles and fresh flowers. The actor is out of town promoting his movie, and the girlfriend, Sarah Larson, is just kind of crashing. And, you know, suffocating him. [OK!]
  • Nelson Mandela confirmed rapper Eminem for his 90th birthday party. [Sun]
  • Vanilla Ice was arrested on a domestic battery charge. According to TMZ, the rapper, real name Robert Van Winkle, pushed his wife during an argument. He's in jail pending a trial Friday morning.

Groggy Britney Spears Asks You What Month It is

  • Britney Spears hanger-on Sam Lutfi must henceforth keep 250 yards from the singer because as Britney's mom reminded us, he "gave Britney Spears pills ground up in her food to keep her quiet and at one point he told Britney she had to take 10 pills a day if she wanted to see her two young children." [Reuters]
  • Lutfi's lawyer tried to say he wasn't properly served with the restraining order paperwork. The judge basically laughed. Lutfi's legal team then asked if the judge would like maybe a home-made scone or some coffee or maybe an "aspirin."
  • Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will supposedly come to Prince's hot Oscar party, along with Penelope Cruz. When the catfighting and Scientology recruiting speeches begin, scoot on over to the real LA Oscar party, hosted by queen diva Elton John.
  • Ryan Phillippe endorsed Obama, and has the cool Shepard Fairey t-shirt to prove it. Against all odds, the left-of-Hillary, cool and charismatic black Democratic candidate is dominating among gorgeous celebrities. [X17]
  • Brangelina were confused, until they realized Clint Eastwood and his wife were waiting for them at the uncool restaurant across the street. Then everyone not pregnant ordered wine and got drunk and happy. Lesson: Clint Eastwood likes to drink. Oh, and you'll usually have a better time at the uncool restaurant! [Showbiz Spy]
  • Teen star Miley Cyrus apologized for not wearing her seatbelt in a movie or raising your children for you or transforming you into a responsible human being who has better things to do than yell at a teen star over some stupid shit. [AP]
  • Riverbank Hotel staff "baffled" that Amy Winehouse trashed her room over two weeks, leaving "the floor strewn in champagne bottles and unwashed knickers." Maybe if she had checked in under the assumed name "I Live To Trash Hotel Rooms" they might have seen this coming. Probably not, though. [Showbiz Spy]
  • Eminem to finally let the world in on his family dramas and emotional issues, in a book. [People]
  • Moby thinks people hate him because Natalie Portman was his girlfriend this one time. Oh, Moby. [P6]

Lack Of Dr. Dre Beats Dooms Eminem Book In Advance

Mom-hating rapper Eminem is planning to publish his memoirs at the ripe old age of 36. Question: Is it really necessary to buy his memoirs when every single one of his albums is an extended exercise in tortured self-examination? We already know all about his family problems, his relationship problems, and his problems with friends getting killed. He made that autobiographical movie too, ya know. Is there a lot more value to add for the rapidly aging Slim Shady fan base? More »

Tina Brown: Scary Skinny or Weight Winner?

  • Tina-lauding reached new heights at Tina Brown's book party, but Isaac Mizrahi's compliment takes the lo-cal cake: "She's like a role model for me right now because she's so thin. I mean, not that she was ever big, but you know she's kind of at that crucial moment, where she could go one way or the other and she kind of looks amazing. So that's a real inspiration for all of us." Thinspiration! [NYO]
  • Kevin Federline may be spawning again with the mama of his first two babies, hyperfertile 'actress' Shar Jackson. [Cindy]
  • Dina Lohan and pup were no-shows at a charity doggie fashion show, prompting an organizer to announce that Dina's dog had OD'd "on Frontline." Heh! [Page Six]
  • Eminem is still mining his dalliance with Mariah Carey for material. [Gatecrasher]
  • Cloris Leachman was passed over for a part in the Broadway production of Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks, who is her same age. [Ed. Note: CLORIS LEACHMAN IS A GODDESS. THAT IS ALL.] [Page Six]

    Remainders: Will the Fake Slim Shady Please Sit Down

    • Eminem in whiteface. Someone, somewhere, is rolling in some grave, or something. [DealBreaker]
    • TIME reporter claims magazine didn't touch Karr story. Claim eerily matches reality of Karr claim he touched JonBenet Ramsey. YEAH, WE'RE STILL DOING THIS. [Think Progress]
    • Wired reviews Pitchfork Media. Gives it a 7.030032. Basically good, but a little bit derivative of [obscure reference], like some kind of [overwrought metaphor that doesn't actually make sense when you think about it for even two seconds]. [Wired]
    • A CNN reporter has a private conversation in the bathroom while wearing a hot mic during President Bush's memorial Hurricane Katrina address. Embarrassing? Yes. Was anyone watching President Bush's memorial Hurricane Katrina address? No. [Wonkette]
    •: Important Update on Bravest Actress of All Time: Natalie Portman is definitely doing something courageous, coyly seductive, and thoroughly Jewish, we're just not sure where. [One Park Avenue Reality]
    • Maybe forcing millions of drunk people to interact in the same small corner at the edge of the city wasn't such a good idea after all. [VV]
    • Union Square still has street cred. Where else can you enjoy Thai chili lime peanuts, free Ben & Jerry's milkshakes, and heroin? [ANIMAL]

    · Porn star Traci Lords, on sex scenes with rival Ginger Lynn: "I was...disgusted by the thought of the upcoming lesbian scene I was supposed to have with this bitch on wheels. The thought of kissing her grossed me out. But I guess it's better than having to fuck a fleshy hairball like Ron Jeremy, I reasoned, still feeling less than lucky." [Page Six]

    Arthur Bradford and Eminem

    Claire Zulkey of Zulkey.com interviews writer (Dogwalker) and filmmaker (How's your news?) Arthur Bradford and "apropos of nothing" provides Eminem's high school photo (right). Bradford on his guitar-smashing habits during readings/performances: " I did have one really stupid incident where I knocked a hole in the wall of a nice club. I felt so dumb about that. The owner was appalled. He said, 'I don't understand why you did that.' I had no excuse. It was stupid. Since then I've learned it's not always appropriate to break a guitar."

    Eminem's brand affinity

    Snark Hunting notices that Eminem's brand references have dropped to 15 from 25 on the previous album. Snark Hunting's conclusions: "(1) Eminem is losing his interest in auto and apparel brands. (2) Eminem has an increased interest in kitchen/household products; including Saran Wrap. (3) Weapons and pharmaceutical products are Eminem's top brand preoccupations. (4) 39% of all Eminem's pharmaceutical references are to Tylenol."

    Eminem, Slide, Ashtanga, etc.

    Michael Musto, experimenting with Ashtanga yoga these days, reports that Eminem tried out for a part in Larry Clark's upcoming film Ken Park but was rejected because he was "too old and buff for it." [More on Em later.] Musto also reports that opening night at The Slide consisted of Jennifer Aniston's Golden Globe dress sketches coming to life on men and "an open bar that brought out every last lush on earth. It was so crowded you couldn't see the forest for the Sky Room."

    Raines gets some culture

    Howell Raines wants to put the arts and leisure back in the Arts & Leisure section of the NYT. He hasn't picked an editor yet, but Slate's Jodi Kantor is rumored to be the leading candidate. Raines says he wants to be "as good at telling our readers the history of CBGB as we are about telling them about the Metropolitan Opera." Demonstrating that he's truly hip with the kids, Raines adds that he liked the Eminem movie, 8 Mile, and says that this East Coast/West Coast rap shit is whack, yo.
