Emailing "I feel in love with your daughter Uma" Is Bad Netiquette

  • Testifying against her alleged stalker, Uma Thurman's dad said the man emailed him a few times about the study-abroad program at Columbia, where the dad is a professor. He had no clue the guy was a stalker, or even knew who his daughter was. Then one day the alleged stalker wrote: "Today the center of my forehead is ticking now and then. I feel in love with your daughter Uma." And later: "Apparently hoping it would be forwarded to the actress.... 'Work on that accent for our wedding night. Pretty please.'"
  • Charlie Sheen resumed seeing hookers at least until last year, including while he was in rehab, using fake doctor's appointments, according to a former Los Angeles madam. Sheen's rep said "this is an old, old, old story," as though that's not the point. [P6]
  • Rosie O'Donnell on Miley Cyrus' Vanity Fair shoot: "Leave Miley Cyrus alone... Listen, Annie Leibovitz – I had two photo shoots with her... You kind of do what she says. It's intimidating. I also didn't think it was a pornographic photo in any capacity. I thought it was sort of a beautiful portrait." [People]
  • Spencer Pratt on Miley Cyrus' Vanity Fair shoot: "I didn’t think it was that bad. Supposedly, she’s wearing a top underneath. It’s artistic." [Us]
  • Jennifer Lopez's reality show will involve her stupid new perfume, and not the fortified wing of her house she and her Scientologist friends designed for her twins. Great, I just signed up for TLC, and now I have to cancel. [People]
  • Rehabbed actress Kirsten Dunst is supposedly taking co-star Ryan Gosling to 12-step meetings. [P6]
  • Singer Mariah Carey is engaged to rapper Nick Cannon. The ring is 17 carats and cost $2.5 million. Tasteful. [P6]

Jennifer Lopez Wants More Money. I Mean Children. I Mean Children Money.

Just in time for her reality show about having kids, Jennifer Lopez (known as JLo to people from 2003) wants to have more kids. The fading entertainer and her Peruvian shrunken head boyfriend husband Marc Anthony recently mashed genitals and produced twins, and her efforts to raise them while also coping with her big butt will be documented in an upcoming (self-financed!) TLC reality show. But two is not enough, what in this bizarro world where the simple act of procreating is worthy of adulating praise and millions of dollars. We've gotten to the point where I, if I wanted to adopt a child (which I don't), would have to show up at the agency, wearing a top hat and monocle, and introduce myself as H.S. Moneybags in order to have a chance at forking over thousands of dollars to get my grubby gay hands on a baby. Whereas Ms. Lopez and her celebrity friends have turned baby making and having and inevitably fucking up beyond all recognition into a little cottage industry of magazines and television shows and lord knows what else (as complained about on the Huffingon Post). Can it be Children of Men soon, please? More »

Watch Jennifer Lopez, Scientologists Raise A Baby

  • Jennifer Lopez is going to star in a TLC reality show about raising her twins. Oh this is going to be awesome. We're going to get to see all of the crazy stuff Tom Cruise and Lopez's other Scientologist advisers had installed for the little ones: the security cameras, "sterile" baby wing, sanitized flowers and the staff of baby bodyguards and color therapist.
  • Semi-retired comedian Rosie O'Donnell on Star Jones' divorce from Al Reynolds: "we all fool rselves [sic] / sometimes." Also, Drudge dropped her from his blogroll for some reason. [Ask Ro]
  • Amy Winehouse got high in the street, headbutted someone, punched someone in the face, stiffed her cabbie and made out with some dude. Leave it to Fleet Street to hype up a typical Wednesday night like it's some big thing. [Sun]
  • Ashley Olsen's mansion is undergoing a $1.6 million spruce-up and the actress was kind of wondering if she could crash at your place for a while?? Five-star hotels get so lonely. [Star]

  • John Mayer is totally going to work his way up to black belt. [X17]
  • Meadow from Sopranos broke up with her boyfriend. [Us]
  • FHM magazine decided Megan Fox was the hottest woman in the entire world, this year. Angelina Jolie slipped four places to number 12, because pregnancy is so not hot, and Britney Spears somehow rejoined the list at #100, because crazy is very much hot. [OK!]

George Clooney Won't Be Told When To Dump His Girlfriend

  • An anonymous caller told George Clooney about his new girlfriend Sarah Larson, "Dump the bitch before you're sorry." Clooney got his off-duty-cop chauffeur to have the call traced, but it was made from a pre-paid cell phone and they can't figure out who bought the phone. Also, the Sun found a supposed ex-boyfriend of Larson who said Larson had "special love potions."
  • Jennifer Lopez wants Tom Cruise to be her twins' godfather and convinced her husband Marc Anthony to go along with the plan. Perfect. Also, the kids' christening outfits cost $200,000. [Showbiz Spy]

Left For The Children

That's the amount left over after after Marc Anthony bought some incredibly expensive earrings to reward wife Jennifer Lopez for her lucrative fertility. The couple had made a reported $6m from the sale of photos of their newborn twins to People magazine.

Madonna Still Needs Your Attention Desperately

  • Probably trying to dispel rumors she's about to divorce Guy Ritchie, and also drum up more publicity for her new album, Madonna overshared about her sex life to magazine Elle, saying screwing Ritchie is "amazing," even though both husband and wife sleep with BlackBerrys under their pillows. Elle pics are here. (Photo: Vanity Fair via Daily Mail)
  • First Britney Spears opened talks with her old manager, now she's cozying up to ex Kevin Federline. According to a Star source, the singers hung out at Easter and "Kevin wants to take Britney away to see if there is anything to salvage between them." [Star]

What Has J-Lo Spawned?

Take another look at that $6m spread in People on Jennifer Lopez's newborn twins. It's a picture of parental bliss. The actress displays the requisite ecstasy as she and husband Marc Anthony skip down the front drive, each pushing a stroller. (For $6m, People had a right to a bit of a show.) But turn to page 55, and look closely at Emme Maribel, the couple's daughter. Some dark intelligence is evident behind those eyes. For the close-up:

$3m Per Twin

So this is what People's $6m bid has bought. The Time Inc. magazine is finally publishing those pricey photos of Jennifer Lopez and her new twins. But no Marc Anthony: the performer's husband, unlike Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, for instance, isn't famous enough to add value to the image—which makes the price paid by People all the more extraordinary. Not only is Marc Anthony a net negative; Jennifer Lopez herself is past the peak of fame that she reached when dating Ben Affleck. But competition between celebrity weeklies has sharpened since the weeklies paid $4m for Brangelina's baby; that has caused general inflation in the price of photos; and nothing trumps the visual appeal of twins except, maybe, triplets. Awww.

British People Doesn't Understand How American People Work

The English are so smart. Not only do they have those great accents, but they ask the pressing questions, like, "Does J-Lo REALLY need to sell pictures of her twins for $6 million?" Why, Goddamn, I was just going to make a joke about the cannibalistic nature of celebrity culture. But now that I think that about it, maybe J. Lo doesn't actually REALLY need those six million dollars. More »

The Nine Biggest Oscar Party Hoppers

The cancellation of this year's Vanity Fair party, the social highlight of Oscars night, is a tragedy. Not so much because it deprives gatecrashers of their most significant challenge of the year; but because Graydon Carter's annual party invites represent a definitive list of celebrity. The next best thing: social scientist Elizabeth Currid and her colleague analyzed photographs of guests since last year's gathering, to calculate the most socially connected and socially promiscuous of celebrities. A taster: highly connected Kimora Lee Simmons is a perfect celebrity disease vector, or else simply skilled at working her way into the frame. But one of the flightiest social butterflies, a cute Spanish actress, seemingly devoted to her craft, will surprise you. More »

Jennifer Lopez Gives Birth To Twins, Six Million Dollars

Twelve minutes past midnight, Jennifer Lopez gave birth to a 5 lbs. 7 oz. baby girl, followed at 12:23 AM by 6 lbs. baby boy. The birth took place in a secure room of a Long Island hospital, hermetically sealed prior to J. Lo's arrival, guarded by security forces trained intensively in "pink drills" in recent weeks. The lockdown helps protect the $4 million to $6 million People magazine is paying for exclusive pictures of the kids, an exclusive that would be ruined by anyone lawfully and safely snapping a photo and sending it a competing media outlet, like say tips@gawker.com, which FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY pays you $7.50 per 1000 views! Besides, J. Lo hardly needs the money, especially if she plans to practice the "tough love" she got from her own mom, as described in October to David Letterman: More »

The Algebra Of Celebrity Baby Photos

Jennifer Lopez's last two movies, El Cantante and An Unfinished Life, did only $16m between them at the domestic box office. The singer-actress has ceded the celebrity weeklies, in which her relationship with actor Ben Affleck featured heavily, to younger stars. Her current husband, Marc Anthony, is a relative unknown. So why would pictures of Lopez's forthcoming offspring be worth up to $6m to People magazine? Because box-office appeal, buzz, and spousal synergy are all outweighed by one factor: the soppy readers of celebrity magazines adore pictures of twins. They're worth not merely twice as much; the multiplier is more like two to the power of two. Which means that Angelina Jolie's twins, which benefit from much more famous parents, will smash all records; her last, solo, child brought in $4m.

Serene Britney Spears Doesn't Know Why You Keep Offering Advice

  • Britney Spears is finally on the right path. Model Heidi Klum made her look a bit more sane by offering to fix all of Spears' problems for her, an offer that of course succeeded only in making Klum look as crazy as Dr. Phil and Courtney Love. Then Spears took another step down the path toward appropriateness and normalcy by going clubbing with her father. Everything was going so well that Spears decided the time was perfect to try on wedding dresses and steal a blouse. She ended up very glad about not wearing a bra.
  • Amy Winehouse is so sweet. She's brought autographed pictures to the jail where her husband is being held so he can trade them for very cheap heroin. A lot of wives wouldn't go to such lengths right after their husbands had just overdosed in the very same jail.
  • If you give Pete Doherty $30,000 to perform for you, your wife and your three children, and he of course shows up too drunk or high to stand, just give him seven hours to sober up, you're as good as gold. Then his handlers can talk about how you "certainly got value for money.... not many fans get to spend such quality time with their hero." Also, you can go down in history as "the guy who hired Pete Fucking Doherty to perform for his kids." [Showbiz Spy]
  • Rudy Huxtable alive, hot, sweet. She's even sweet to the filthy paparazzi. [TMZ]
  • If you touch J. Lo's private vaginal birth room, ever, she will cut you. [P6]
  • Dear Jennifer, I sold you out because I want grandchildren, and I got tired of waiting for that bitch Angelina to fly the coop. I'll take pictures for you at the wedding. Love, Brad's Mom. [Showbiz Spy]
  • Flavor Flav is promiscuous, broke and has a crazy and inappropriate hustle on to make money. This is not gossip so much as the immutable state of his existence, right? [P6]
  • Don Johnson has a fan! [TMZ]
  • Observer's Spencer Morgan doesn't get to bring his friends to his own birthday party, only Anna Wintour, because his fiancée is obviously wrong for him. [P6]
