Eva Mendes in rehab

Friday, February 1st, 2008
Thumbnail image for 1221_eva_mendes_peta_00.jpg TMZ revealed today that Eva Mendes is in rehab battling a substance abuse problem:
We're told the "Ghost Rider" star is at the famous Cirque Lodge, near Sundance. The Lodge, which treated Lindsay Lohan and other stars, is one of the most respected treatment facilities in the country.
Eva has been at Cirque for several weeks.
Her addiction? My guess is ass-patting. I had a problem with it myself. It was really affecting my work. I mean, I would pat anyone's ass. My secretary, random co-workers, Ted in Accounting. Also the copying machine. Oh, that copying machine. Such a tight buttocks on that one... But, anyway, I got some help and I think I'm better for it. Best of luck to Eva.

Sam Lufti as Mother Teresa

Friday, February 1st, 2008
0201_sam_lufti_ucla_00.JPG Sam Lufti pleaded his case to Ryan Seacrest last night and said he has a “moral obligation” to help Britney, according to E! Online:
"You meet her and she cries, and she begs you not to turn on her," Lutfi said in an emotional phone call to Seacrest at roughly 8:15 p.m. Thursday. "You would do the same for any of your sisters. I have three sisters—I would do the same for them."
Sam also claims that Britney doesn’t pay him and he hasn’t accepted a dime from the media. He then shared his feelings on Britney’s family and is through trying to keep the peace:
And while Spears' parents continue to cast doubt on him and object to his intervention in their daughter's life, they're the ones who are "incapable of telling the truth and incapable of sympathizing," Lutfi said, adding that "they're more concerned about money and their own image than Britney's condition."
Sam ended the phone call by getting into Britney’s brand new Mercedes Benz which he drove back to her mansion. He comforted himself by watching movies on her ridiculously large HD TV and helped himself to the fridge. Afterwards he relaxed in the Jacuzzi and wondered if this is how Jesus felt after he helped all those people. Then he noticed something was clogging one of the jets. Aw, gross, it’s a tickler – and a chicken wing. Dammit, Britney. EDIT: So apparently, after all this time, it's actually Sam LuTFi not Sam LuFTi. Great, now this douchebag is bringing me down. I'll get you, LUFTFI!

Michelle Williams had Heath Ledger drug video pulled

Friday, February 1st, 2008
Thumbnail image for 0122_heath_ledger_death_03.jpg Michelle Williams’ reps at ID public relations successfully pulled off a campaign to stop Entertainment Tonight from airing a video that showed Heath Ledger at a hotel party in 2006 where he talked about doing drugs. ET had paid $200,000 for the video, but ultimately opted not to air it after Michelle’s reps e-mailed several celebs. Page Six reports:
Paramount, the studio behind "ET," was soon flooded with calls. Scarlett Johansson text-messaged: "As if Heath's poor family doesn't have enough to suffer through." A rep for Johansson confirmed she "was involved." "ET" producers also got a call from Natalie Portman and e-mails from Josh Brolin and Sarah Jessica Parker, said a source.
Sarah Jessica Parker? Yikes! You better do what she says or else she’ll show up at your office in a maelstrom of horseface and high heels. Nobody wants that. Not even Matthew Broderick.

Britney Treated By A Caring and Concerned Therapist

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Britney SpearsThe psychiatrist who hospitalized Britney Spears is a highly respected therapist known for her compassion, a former colleague says.

“She’s an excellent clinician and an excellent psychiatrist,” says Harold Young, the clinical director at the Maple Counseling Center in Beverly Hills, where Spears’s psychiatrist Dr. Deborah Nadel worked for about five years.

Board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Nadel graduated from University of California Medical School in San Francisco 18 years ago, and she did her residency at UCLA, records show.

Nadel, who has recently started treating the troubled pop star, had instigated Spears’s second hospitalization in January, this time at UCLA Medical Center’s psychiatric ward, for a 72-hour evaluation, sources says.

Spears chose Nadel from a list of doctors recommended by her lawyers, a source says.

Young, who worked with Nadel about 12 years ago at the center – a non-profit agency that provides low-cost counseling to people in need – said Nadel is now on the staff at UCLA and is “well thought of in the therapeutic community.”

“I think [Britney] is in somebody’s hands who will be caring, concerned, compassionate and respectful,” says Young.

Britney Spears is ‘gravely disabled’

Friday, February 1st, 2008
Thumbnail image for 1211_britney_spears_pink_00.jpg Britney Spears has apparently been labeled “gravely disabled” by UCLA doctors which means she’s a candidate for involuntary commitment. Apparently she’s unable to take care of basic needs such as food and shelter. Really? Because she’s constantly out to eat or checking into hotels. I’m no psychiatrist but I’m pretty sure that’s food and shelter. Anyway, Britney is considered to be in a “manic state” and was hurling accusations at her mom which TMZ elaborated on:
We first reported that Britney accused her mother of sleeping with her boyfriend. Now we have more. We're told Britney screamed, "The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend! She wants to sleep with my boyfriend!!" Britney never said exactly who she was talking about.
When Brit calmed down, she talked about her kids, how much she misses them and how it's unfair that she doesn't have them.
But fear not fellow Britney lovers! Britney is seeing the best of psychiatrists, according to People:
"She's an excellent clinician and an excellent psychiatrist," says Harold Young, the clinical director at the Maple Counseling Center in Beverly Hills, where Spears's psychiatrist Dr. Deborah Nadel worked for about five years.
In the meantime, Sam Lufti has been making In-N-Out Burger runs for Britney. Can’t acquire food, huh? Those better be therapeutic cheeseburgers otherwise I’ll cry “shenanigans!” Then it’ll only be a matter of time until CNN follows my lead. Little known fact: Wolf Blitzer’s my bitch. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to send my little Wolfman on a coffee run. I like it fresh from Colombia.

Kevin Federline Wants Britney to Get Better

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Kevin FederlineBritney Spears’s children were safely with Kevin Federline when the pop singer was taken to the hospital Thursday morning for the second time for a psychological evaluation, a source says.

Federline, 29, was not directly involved in these latest events, “but he was aware of what was happening,” says a Federline friend.

“Kevin legitimately wants Britney to get better. He wants her to be in their sons’ lives. He wants them to have a loving relationship. He wants her to get healthy so she can be the mother they need and deserve,” says a Federline friend.

This is the second trip to a hospital this month for Spears. On Jan. 4, she was forced into the hospital following a tense custody standoff involving sons Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1. A court commissioner has since stripped Spears of visitation privileges.

Another source says that getting medical help again for Spears, 26, “has been planned for a long time. Her family is behind this.”

Julianna Margulies & Her Husband Welcome a Son

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Julianna Margulies and her lawyer husband Keith LieberthalFormer E.R. star Julianna Margulies and her lawyer husband Keith Lieberthal welcomed a baby boy, according to the couple’s family.

“Obviously I’m utterly delighted to be a grandfather,” said Keith’s father, Dr. Kenneth Lieberthal, when reached. “I have to say, he is cuter than any other baby I’ve seen.”

Margulies’s mother, Francesca, was coy when asked about her daughter’s new son, saying, “I better not open my mouth. I don’t want to get in trouble with my daughter.”

However, on her outgoing voicemail message, amid background violin music, Francesca announces, “A beautiful baby boy has been born to us. All is well. His name is Kieran Lindsay Lieberthal. Is that poetry? Do a little dance. Love this day! All is well. God bless! Can’t wait to hear from you.”

Margulies, 41, and Lieberthal, 35, were married in November in Lennox, Mass. She had said earlier  she was “doing great” with her pregnancy. This is the couple’s first child.

Paris Hilton makes out with Elisha Cuthbert

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Thanks to Britney Spears this piece of gossip was buried underneath reports of laxative and motorcades. I smell conspiracy. Apparently Paris Hilton was spotted making out with Elisha Cuthbert at Tenjune in New York. Us Magazine reports:
Hilton was there for a birthday party and was seen dancing on banquets. "It's Paris," says the source. "She loves putting on a show."
First off, two girls kissing! Woo-hoo! Okay, now that the formalities are out of the way, I’m a little disappointed there’re no pictures of these two making out. Not counting the ones in my mind. Except I swapped Paris with Hayden Panettiere and, also, the two aren’t making out in a nightclub as much as a Jacuzzi full of applesauce. So basically I'm imaging they're on a second date. Or, in my case, a first date. Watch out!

Matthew McConaughey’s lady skills make me cry

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

And now’s the part of the day where I try and post something, anything, non-Britney Spears related. Here’s Matthew McConaughey with his ridiculously hot, but pregnant, girlfriend Camila Alves at the premiere of his new movie Fool’s Gold. Also in attendance is the surprisingly alive Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Take it away, Malcolm: “Bill Cosby hit me a with pudding pop.” Yeah, he did.
