Parker Posey's Dog Forced to Chew Gum

Gracie the hound has been spotted again, this time in Philadelphia, where the quirky indie actress is shooting a movie: "While browsing the Wilbur Vintage shop in the basement, Posey's dog showed an interest in shop owner Dan Wilbur's Stride Winterblue gum... Wilbur says that Posey asked him to chew a piece a little bit and then give it to Gracie because she loves to chew gum. Posey tried to retrieve the gum from her pooch, but Gracie swallowed it." Can someone call the ASPCA already? [Philly Gossip]

Parker Posey's Dog: Still Crying Out for Help

In which, during an interview for EW, the quirky downtown actress's little Gracie attacks the reporter, making her feel uncomfortable, while Parker prattles blithely on: "Is [Gracie] playing hair salon? She plays hair salon..." The poor reporter isn't sure how to get out of this uncomfortable situation...

Parker Posey's Dog is Still a Bad Dog The file on the actress's little Gracie grows ominously larger... Added: a video of Gracie, co-starring Grateful Dead musician Phil Lesh and ex Ryan Adams, weirdly enough. And also: gossip from the dressing room where they're shooting Posey's show Jezebel James. Mysteriously, all the carpet had to be replaced... [Gawker's Updated Gracie Files]

Parker Posey's Dog Has Its Own Ryan Adams Song!

Writes a tipster, "Just an FYI about Parker Posey's vicious dog — After she (Parker, not the dog) broke up with [chronic internet-oversharing musician] Ryan Adams, Parker kept the dog (Gracie) they owned together. Ryan, as is his pattern, wrote [an unreleased] song "Hello, Gracie," about it... seemed to give the dog a bit more credit than it was due." Oh, yes: click for the lyrics. They're actually really cute, just like Ryan.

Everybody's Had a Run-In with Parker Posey's Devil-Dog

When we exposed quirky downtown actress Parker Posey's dog as being the devil yesterday, everybody chimed in with their own story! Parker Posey, control your dog! From New York to L.A., there have been multiple disastrous run-ins with little Gracie, starting with "her brother kicked my dog," and ending at the Chateau Marmont. More »

Parker Posey's Dog Is The Devil

Parker Posey, the increasingly eccentric actress, tells Page Six Magazine that Gawker is "the devil". That's hardly a surprise: it's only since Gawker spies began tracking Posey's erratic trail through downtown New York, with her badly-behaved pooch, that terrorized fellow shoppers have been able to exact retribution. Laia writes: "I was in a store in Soho and actress Parker Posey was in there too with her (obnoxious) dog. The dog was sniffing my handbag, trying to get my left-over croissant. Posey apologized but all glibly, so I sent her dog to hell in Spanish. Anyways, the important thing happened afterwards. She dropped a white silk blouse on the floor—and the dog peed on it. Another customer noticed it and asked me if it was my blouse, or my dog. Certainly not my dog, I answered. Posey picked up the blouse, gave it to the sales person and left the store."

gossip roundup

Kate Hudson Back On Butterscotch Stallion

  • Kate Hudson is, once again, riding the Butterscotch Stallion. She and fellow actor Owen Wilson had a weird double-date in Miami with Jennifer Aniston and Eric Dane the night after Hudson spent time with Wilson at a 10-bedroom mansion, having been spotted on the way in by crafty paparazzi. Their friends are totally against it.
  • Actress Bai Ling said her arrest for shoplifting $16 in batteries and celebrity magazines was a big misunderstanding. Which actually makes sense, given the state of martial law under which most airports seem to operate, and given that no celebrity magazine (Star included) is remotely worth trying to shoplift. [P6]
  • To make "those panties slide right off," rapper-turned-chef Coolio recommends "Sautéed Shrimp and Soul Rolls, baby." [Serious Eats]
  • Late night host David Letterman jogs with two iPods and headphones with a proper headband, none of this "earbud" business. [P6]
  • Professional rich girl Nicole Richie hates looking "slutty," so she wants her mama boobs to go away. [Showbiz Spy]
  • Bizarre: Parker Posey and Keanu Reeves said to be an item. Maybe he was just sitting so close to her because he's weird and dense? Though she is weird and smart and you know what they say about opposite weirds: whichever one is freakiest kills and devours the other. [OK!]
  • Rosie O'Donnell is launching a redesign of her website April 1. y do you have 2 change? [Ask Ro]
  • Singer Britney Spears cannot stop dancing. Excellent activity, among the range of possible choices, to do compulsively. Bravo! [Faded Youth]
  • Salma Hayek, the actress, really wanted a boy but is making do with her daughter. [P6]
  • Chinese restaurant Philippe has potentially awesome hidden-camera videos of celebrity guests. [P6]

Parker Posey's dying to be your BFF

Maybe the reason the Parkers and the the Maggies and the Mobys (Mobies?) and the Sarandobbins are so visible is because they're lonely and just want to make friends with their neighbors. At least, that's one theory from our stalker, whose sighting of Parker Posey ambling around the nabe is after the jump. More »

Chronicles of clueless tourists

"Jan. 4 Parker Posey, 33rd and 3rd ave, 1pm,— I was eating lunch at 2nd Ave Deli when a horrible gawker pointed out that Parker Posey was sitting at the bar having lunch. The tourist proceeded to stand up and stare at Parker for five minutes. He obviously didn't know that she is the most common celeb sighting in the city." [Thanks, Joshua.]

From the mailbag: "Parker Posey in a wheelchair being wheeled out of Lenox Hospital into an awaiting cab with her leg all bandaged up. Overheard her thanking the doctor...." We're almost inclined to disbelieve this simply on geography—77th Street? Parker hasn't been that far uptown in years!

    Parker Posey's Perks

    According to Parker Posey, the best thing about being famous isn't all the free shit—it's that your friend's dog won't get in trouble for biting a girl. "She was totally freaking out, and she wanted to go to the emergency room and everything. She was stoned, you know?" Parker explained to New York mag. "But then she recognized me, and it just changed the whole temperature of things. She was like, "Oh, my God, I love you," and everything was fine. That's what's good about being a celebrity." More »

    Parker Posey, American Hero!

    From the mailbag:
    On Tuesday afternoon, actress Parker Posey came to the rescue of a woman whose daughter had taken ill and passed out on the 100 block of Thompson Street. As an ambulance arrived and NYPD were tending to the young girl at the scene, Posey dog sat for the woman as she accompanied her daughter to the hospital. Seems that this well-known actress has a soft spot for New Yorkers in need.
    Glaring omission? Bizzarro Fay Grim guerrilla marketing plan? God's honest truth? You decide!

    'Observer' Mourns "It Girl" Obsolescence Prematurely?

    Remember back when it was possible for people to simultaneously be famous and also seem genuinely cool? Hillary Frey, the new culture editor of the New York Observer, totally does. "An It Girl was out and about; she walked our streets, shared our parks, sat next to us at the International Bar on First Avenue. She was Chlo . Parker. Claire." Sadly, though, those ladies are all now successful in mainstream TV show and movies! (Also, Claire Danes and her English lover were sitting two feet away from Hillary Frey last Tuesday at the Old Town Bar, which is kind of funny.) Also, Our Girls are older and not as wild now. And a new crop of "It Girls" hasn't risen up to replace them, according to Hillary. Why? Oh, oops, it's our fault. More »

    Parker Posey Finds New 'Partner'

    posey.jpgBREAKING! IMPORTANT PARKER POSEY UPDATE!
    On Monday, we drooled over a Page Six item suggesting that flamey Observer vixen Jessica Joffe, having ended her relationship with mega-socialite Jamie Johnson, was now spending her evenings clutched in the gritty arms of disquieting indie rockster Ryan Adams. Surely this cannot be true! we thought. But WHAT IF? What of Adams's ex-lovebunny, East Village fixture/actress Parker Posey? More »
