Jenna Bush Will Have 14 Bridesmaids Saturday

  • Jenna Bush will get married this weekend at a ranch in Texas. Oscar de la Renta supplied the gown the presidential daughter will eventually be puking on. (UPDATE: AP may be wrong on bridesmaid count, see first comment.) [AP]
  • Singer and Perez Hilton macker John Mayer is — surprise! — acting kind of scuzzy toward actress/hookup Jennifer Aniston. Mayer "was all over some [other] blond girl" at a club in New York recently. [P6]
  • Mary-Kate Olsen was left off the Maxim "Hot 100" list, and twin sister Ashley was left on, at number 47. Wait, which one is supposed to feel dissed by this? Ashley, right? [P6]
  • Prince is releasing a coffee table book called 21 Nights with photos of his concerts in London last year. And then there will be a "compilation album" in there too, since publishing in just one dying medium is not enough. [E!]
  • So now singer Mariah Carey is not just engaged but married to actor Nick Cannon. "Her friends were, to put it mildly, stunned, but happy for her." [P6]

Party Poopers Poor Lindsay Lohan! Prince, that lady who sings "The Color Purple", had a huge post-Oscar bash on Sunday. Absolutely everyone in the whole world went. Except Lindsay. Prince explicitly did not invite the cocaine-sprinkled young actress, so she had to miss out on all the revelry, which apparently involved strippers of various varieties. How sad. Prince is a Mean Girl! [The Superficial]

Prince: Sex Machine Broken

Singer Prince needs a new hip! Too much gyrating over the years, we figure, both onstage and off. The breaking point may have come during his X-rated Oscar party, complete with stripper poles. He's only 49, but the Sydney Morning Herald reports that he's "suffering excruciating pain as a result of years of blistering performances," and will undergo surgery. He can come "perform" for us anytime he'd like, soon as he's healed. [Sydney Morning Herald]

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]

Tom Petty's Phallic Halftime "Old Tom Petty's is way bigger than Prince's!" [Tabloid Baby]

  • 2007 trends in advertising might include more lip service being paid to The Environment , more "online terrain . . . blurring with the physical world," clearer branding, and ads for flying skateboards . Oh, come on, please? Man, this 'future' sure isn't living up to our expectations. [NYT]
  • CBS is definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY not hiring Rick Kaplan to save Katie Couric's ratings. [Jossip]
  • Coverage of John Edwards's New Orleans omitted reference to levee failures, thereby sort of, you know, missing the entire point. [ETP]
  • Did Ann Curry's smarm tarnish Gerald Ford's legacy? [FishbowlNY]
  • Christopher Hitchens clarifies his brilliant "women aren't funny" insight: only "hefty, dykey, or Jewish women" can be funny. Bravo, Chris, that's a fucking hilarious joke! [Radar]
