• Apparently on a boozy limo ride home from a few Halloween parties where they were dressed as matching tooth fairies, Paris Hilton's boyfriend Doug Reinhardt threw her phone out the window. It appears that excessive texting annoys him too. Paris got out of the car to find it on the side of the road to no avail. When she got back into the car, Reinhardt started to choke her. Of course, the paps were swarming and friends tried to stop them from taking pictures. Like a good girl, Paris fought back, kicking and screaming at her man. The good news? A photographer found her phone and returned it. [NY Post]
• Real Housewife of New York Kelly Bensimon showed up on time for the Halloween party she hosted on Saturday night, instead of showing up two hours late like she did last year. Hurray for lessons learned. Bensimon was dressed as a sexy Heidi or some such. Also in attendance was Jill Zaron dressed as Poison Ivy from the Batman comics. The real news is that Bensimon and fellow Housewife Zarin are apparently new besties now that Zarin had a falling out with former partner in crime Bethenny Frankel. Because she's still on the show this season, Bethenney has been relegated to hanging out with crazy-eyed Ramona Singer and Brooklynite Alex McCord. As goes Jill Zarin, so goes the audience, so maybe people will start to like this Kelly creature now. [Gatecrasher]
• Speaking of Halloween parties, Tinsley Mortimer showed up with reality crew in tow for an event to benefit cancer charity City of Hope on Friday night at Marquee. "She showed up with 20 people. The crew shot her walking into the venue, but not inside the party as promised," says City Of Hope's Jocelyn Levy. "They just hung out and drank, for free, even the producers. We didn't ask them to come, they called us." Hmm. That's funny, because we were there and we saw with our own two eyes that Tinsley did, in fact, film inside the party. Sure it was in the back by the dessert bar and the production kept a tight perimeter around Ms. Mortimer, but she did actually film inside the party. Don't go trying to tarnish our Tinz unfairly!

• Angelina Jolie is the focus of two books and is supporting another. Reputed biographers Andrew Morton and Ian Halperin want to experience the thrill of writing about a subject who's already said everything you ever wanted to know about her and more. In fact, the ever growing Cult of Brange means you can't even make up anything interesting about her. Meanwhile Nick Kristoff, whose book Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide Jolie would like you to read, got a taste of tabloid love in their company and was stunned.

Beausejour was on top of the corporate ad world, but left P&G in 2000 and joined the seminary. Crazy! But all the porn and the strip clubs and the hookers were eating away at his very soul. Here, he describes his defining spiritual moment, at a retreat in the mountains north of Hong Kong:

Every man who spoke had experienced an encounter with Jesus. I had been in church most of my life, but I never heard anyone talk about Jesus from personal experience like these guys. It was like the difference between talking to someone who knows Mel Gibson and someone who has only seen him in a movie.

You can read Beausejour's entire inspirational confessional here, but that 'Mel Gibson' bit is really the best part. Except for when he says "Once we found a strong church, I found a men's group. These guys rubbed off on me."
Sorry.

The boat was designed by the French designer Christian Liagre, according to a listing tracked down by CityFile, accommodates 10 and is a patriotic Mexican citizen. Someone forward this listing to Murdoch underling Glenn Beck, pronto!

(In the pics that CityFile found, the boat looks to be flying a Swiss flag, so like Murdoch's political preferences, this ship's allegiances may shift at a drop of a hat.)

(UPDATE: A more seasoned/sophisticated maritime observer wrote in to inform us that "the Mexican flag is a courtesy flag — when you sail in foreign waters, you fly the civil ensign of the host country." Obviously, Gakwer Media needs its own yacht, to avoid this sort of ignorance.)

(UPDATE 2: And it's an Italian ensign anyway. Forget we mentioned it! We've changed the headline.)

The boat is named Rosehearty; Murdoch has a North Shore home by the same name, which can also be rented for six figured if you want the full, 360-degree conservative media mogul experience. Here are some luscious shots of the interior, perfect for impressing pretty, possibly single Alaskan governors, via CityFile.

An outdoor shot of the boat proudly flying its true colores, via the rental listing. For some reason, the yacht flew some other flag when in Alaska.

The land-based Rosehearty.

Hm. Noted crazy Mel Gibson will star in the film The Beaver for noted lesbian Jodie Foster, who will direct and co-star. The film, once thought to be a project for Steve Carell, is about a man who finds comfort in a beaver hand puppet. So it'll be a cheapish quirky indie type affair, although it will star one of the most vociferously strange movie stars of the past twenty years. Could be great! Could be awful. [Variety]

The Green Lantern is nearing the end of its major casting process, mulling over three actors for the lead role of a hotshot Air Force pilot who meets a dying alien and gets deputized into a space police department. (That is an actual plot of a movie. And a comic book!) Warner Brothers is trying to decide between Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, and Justin Timberlake, of all people, but is apparently having some trouble reconciling their favorite with the director's. So we'll either get a kind of boring Green Lanternt, a wise-cracking kind of annoying Green Lantern, or a singin' dancin' Green Lantern. None of which sound terribly thrilling. [THR]

The Minnie Driver/Uma Thurman comedy Motherhood, which premiered at Sundance this year, has set an October release date.

Quirky comedy queen Zooey Deschanel has signed on to play James Franco's love interest in the David Gordon Green comedy Your Highness, about a lazy prince (Danny McBride) who must go on a quest to save his kingdom.

Will we ever get a George Washington, All the Real Girls, or Snow Angels again? [THR]

In a nifty little distribution deal, if the sitcom's first batch of episodes do well, an automatic 90 more will be ordered. Yeesh. [Variety]

Gibson was on the Tonight Show last night and confirmed the existence of his new bastard son, his eighth child. "I guess that makes me 'Octo-Mel'", he sputtered amusingly. Then he stretched out his lips to emulate the crazy, collagened Suleman. And the audience roared.

So we'll forgive the blotto religious zealots, but not the bloat-o fame zealots. Because only one of them gave us Tequlia Sunrise. Only one.

• If Britney Spears wants to communicate with her ex-manager/boyfriend Sam Lutfi, she'll have to continue to do so via illicit spy decoder ring transactions in hotel saunas, because a judge just extended Lutfi's restraining order to three years.

Gibson must have been eager to get things out in the open: the actor says in court papers he has been officially separated from his wife for more than two and a half years. Grigorieva, signed to Gibson's Icon Records, is herself said separated from Dalton. There were already property records tying the two together, and blurry photographs of a jaunt in Costa Rica (tied to Grigorieva in the Russian press), so it's not like the pair were a complete secret from the world.

Still, Gibson apparently has for years kept his split from his wife under wraps. The breakup dates from the weeks just after the star's anti-semitic tirade against Los Angeles sheriff's deputies. Had it been exposed at the time, it might have dealt his image a particularly damaging double blow.

Now that Gibson's wife has forced the matter into the public eye, taking the Grigorieva relationship public is a way for the actor to underline that he has nothing to hide — and that his life is not as lonely as pathetic as you might expect for an alcoholic anti-Semite ditched by his wife.

Luckily for Gibson, his current Oksana was not scared off by that other musician named Oksana who kept saying she had been sleeping with him.

• Mel Gibson's self-described Russian lover was silenced by the movie star's lawyers, who are supposedly worried her loud gabbing will help Gibson's soon-to-be-ex wife grab more than the $480 million she's already set to walk off with.

• Lindsay Lohan is still pining for the good old days with Samantha Ronson, when the couple's screaming matches were frequent enough to be used as the preferred inter-nightclub navigation system for DJs and waitstaff.

In the meantime, there's always that British photographer, mentioned Monday in Page Six and Tuesday in Life & Style.
