PBB Teen edition 2 finalist, binabahay na ng bakla

2008-11-13T13:50:00.000-08:00

Kaya pala hindi na nagpursige pang mag-artista ang male PBB Teen Edition 2 finalist ay dahil may mayamang bading na sumusuporta sa kanya ngayon.

Hindi matanda ang bading na lover ng newcomer. Nasa early 20s lang ito, pero super rich. Kaibigan nito ang ilan pang mga showbiz personalities.
Ang PBB Teen 2 finalist ay nakatira sa bandang North. Malapit lang sa lugar nila ang rich gay niyang lover.

May tsismis na noon pa tungkol sa binatang ito bago pa man pumasok sa Bahay ni Kuya. Kung sinu-sino ang nagke-claim na natikman nila ang matangkad na bagets.
Para makasiguro si gay lover na siya lang ang dyowa ng bagets, pinalitan niya ang cellphone at number nito. Lahat ng koneksyon nito sa iba pang bading na natsitsismis din sa bagets ay pinutol niya.

May ilang mga taga-showbiz ang nakakaalam ngayon ng bagong number ng matangkad na newcomer. Pero ang gay lover niya ang sumasagot kapag may nagte-text sa kanya.

“May nag-text nga sa kanya dati na nagpakilalang manager at direktor. Pinapupunta siya sa isang audition. Nangako ring tutulungan niya yung bagets. Pero nabasa ‘yon ng kanyang gay lover. Sinagot niya ang text ng: “No, thank you! Hindi na ako mag-aartista.”

“Pinoy Fear Factor” contestant Jose Sarasola says he has no nude photos and sex video

2008-11-12T13:51:00.000-08:00

Bago pa man mapanood ang bagong ABS-CBN reality show na Pinoy Fear Factor, na nagsimula kagabi, November 10, kumalat sa Internet ang nude photos at sex video diumano ng isa sa participantes nito na si Jose Sarasola. Ang naturang mga larawan at video ay nagpapakita sa isang lalake na nasa aktong nagpapasaya ng kanyang sarili sa harap ng computer.
Pero sa isang statement na ipinalabas ng direktor ng Pinoy Fear Factor na si Laurenti Dyogi, itinanggi niya na si Jose ang lalaking nasa mga larawan at video.

Nagkaroon ng pagkakataon ang PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na makausap nang personal si Jose upang kunin ang kanyang panig. Mariin ding pinabulaanan ng 22-year-old aspiring chef at Culinary Arts student sa La Salle College of St. Benilde na siya ang nasa larawan at video na kumakalat sa Internet.

“Definitely that’s not me,” deklara niya. “Sa buhok pa lang sa katawan, mabuhok ako. Siya [the guy in the picture], hindi siya mabuhok. Pango yung ilong niya, saka he’s more Chinese, e. He doesn’t even look Filipino or Spanish, so malayo talaga.

Dagdag niya, “I was shocked talaga na it came out like that. Pero obvious naman na hindi talaga ako yung guy na nasa pictures o scanner, o kung sinuman yun kasi talagang malayo. Especially for people I’ve been with, friends ko or people who really know what I look like, talagang malayo yung difference.”

Siniguro rin ni Jose na hindi niya gagawin ang ganitong mga bagay.

“I’ll never do that, baka palayasin ako ng Daddy ko sa bahay namin!” tawa niya. “I’m assuring all the fans of Fear Factor and ABS, and fans ko na hindi talaga ako yung nasa nude photos.”
Wala ring ideya si Jose kung sino ang nagpasimula at nagkalat ng mga naturang mga larawan at video sa Internet, na pinapalabas na siya. May balak ba siyang hanapin o idemanda ang nagkalat ng mga naturang nude photos at sex video?

“Hindi ako gagawa ng anumang action,” sagot ni Jose. “If I’ll look for the guy or sue any Internet [website], wala because hindi naman talaga ako yun. Not a big deal talaga sa akin.”
Noong una raw ay binalewala ni Jose ang nasabing mga balita. Pero ang nakaalarma sa kanya ay nang makita na niyang naapektuhan ang kanyang mga magulang, lalo na’t ang mommy pa niya ang nagsabi sa kanya tungkol dito.

“At first I didn’t mind it kasi I just thought lang na because Fear Factor is coming out, all these things popping out. So, parang balewala lang. But then, more people are texting me and letting me know na I have pictures daw on the ‘Net. So I checked it and malayo naman.
“I’m not making it a big deal kasi hindi ko naman talaga kamukha yung guy. Medyo nag-worry ako and nainis na rin because it’s affecting my parents. Our family is very religious. My parents taught me good morals in life. When it starts affecting my parents, and being the only child in the family, you don’t want your parents to be sad.

“Actually, it’s my mom who saw it sa ‘Net, na parang may nude photos nga raw ako. My mom knows me naman very well, so hindi naman siya naniwala,” lahad ng 22-anyos na si Jose.
Maging ang mga taga-Pinoy Fear Factor ay pinagtawanan lang daw ang isyu dahil alam ng mga ito na hindi talaga siya ang nasa hubad na larawan at sex video.

“They were laughing about it, kasi I’ve been with them for a long time. And being in the show, they know what I really look like talaga,” sabi ng Pinoy Fear Factor contestant.

Sa sinasabi naman ng iba na karamihan sa mga mayayaman ay nabu-bore na sa buhay kung kaya’t gumagawa ng mga kakaibang bagay na magbibigay sa kanila ng kakaibang excitement, inisa-isa ni Jose sa PEP ang activities na kanyang pinagkakaabalahan. Imposible raw ang espekulasyon na ito sa kanya ng iba.

“Exag lang ‘yan because I’m still doing my OJT [on-the-job training], I’m going to graduate na February next year. I want to be a chef so I’m preparing to open a business next year. I’m doing a lot of planning with my parents with what kind of restaurant, at saka kung saan ko bubuksan yung resto. I’m pretty busy in gym. I play basketball almost every day and Fear Factor came out. I have a busy life, hindi ako bored sa buhay ko and I’m enjoying it,” pagtatapos ni Jose.

Survivor Philippines Winner Revealed: JC is the Pinoy Sole Survivor

2008-10-19T14:56:00.000-07:00

Nabuking ng showbizjuice.com sa usapan ng staff ng show. It seems kulang sa confidentiality clause between GMA 7 management and its production staff. Sa usapan ng ilang staff ng programa sa isang coffee shop, walang pakialam na ikinuwento ng isang taklesang staff ang nangyayari sa Survivor.

Ang pinaka-shocking revelation ng tsikahan ng staff na hindi napalampas ng source ng showbizjuice.com ay ang pangalan ng winner ng reality show.
Si JC! Siya ang Pinoy Sole Survivor.

Here’s the profile of JC that we got from a website:

John Carlo “JC” Tiuseco (Hardcourt Heartthrob)JC, 23, is a hunky basketball heartthrob of San Sebastian University. When he was younger, he was very passionate about basketball and dreamed of becoming a professional player. But as he grew older, JC discovered that he has a lot more potential to make it beyond the hardcourt.

Banking on his athleticism and good looks, JC is sure that he has a good chance to capture the ladies’ hearts and to bag the coveted title of Sole Survivor.
Survivor Philippines is airing barely 2 weeks. We hate to spoil the excitement by revealing the big winner.

Again, this is news.

Alfie Lorenzo to Judy Ann Santos: 'Huwag mo na akong gagalitin!'

2008-10-19T14:52:00.000-07:00

Alfie Lorenzo to Judy Ann Santos: 'Huwag mo na akong gagalitin!'

Sinabi ng talent manager na si Alfie Lorenzo kahapon sa kanyang interview sa The Buzz na nag-sorry na sa kanya ang kanyang alaga na si Judy Ann Santos. Napabalitang nagkaroon ng away ang dalawa tungkol sa mga kontrata ni Judai. Kumunsulta raw muna ang aktres sa isang lawyer bago pa man ito nakipagdeal kay Alfie na siyang ikinasama ng loob nito.
Alfie commented na nakiusap pa si Judy Ann sa kanya na huwag sumulat ng negative publicity about her. "Hindi ko inisip si Judai one day ay magiging milyonarya, kaya sabi ko, 'Huwag mo na akong gagalitin para hindi na makalkal 'yung iba pa kasi 'yung iba pa nakatago pa sa baul, eh papagpagin ko pa."

Ikinwento rin ni Alfie ang naging usapan nila ng kanyang alaga tungkol sa pagkuha nito ng lawyer. "Ano pa 'yung ikukunsulta mo sa attorney? Bakit all of a sudden nakikialam na 'yung attorney mo sa kontrata? Ilang years na tayong pumipirma sa ABS-CBN walang attorney. Hindi ka naman nakulong sa kakapirma natin at nakarating ka sa kinaroroonan mo ngayon!"

Sabi ng talent manager, he was just looking out for Judy Ann’s welfare at nainsulto siya nang i-by pass siya nito. "Sabi ko, 'Biro mo nagmamalasakit na lang ako sa iyo tapos ako pa ang lalabas na masama, ako pa ang pagdududahan, magkukunsulta ka sa abogado. However, bumawi naman daw si Judai sa kanya at personal pa siya itong inapproach para mag-apologize. Pinoint out ni Alfie na it’s not all about money kundi ang pag-secure ng good future para kay Judai. Dagdag pa niya na siya pa nga ang nagsuggest na i-extend ang contract to 2011, as a fallback in case she decides to settle down anytime soon.

On the other hand, nagpaliwanag din si Judai tungkol sa move na kanyang ginawa. Gusto lang daw niyang maintindihan ang legal concepts sa kanyang pipirmahan. "Siyempre karapatan ko lang din malaman kung ano ang magiging scope of work ko in the next two years. Kasi hindi ko naman maintindihan 'yung legal terms eh, hindi naman ako abogado. It doesn't mean na binabale wala ko si Tito Alfie. Napakalaki ng utang na loob ko kay Tito Alfie.”

Judai also said na ang pagkuha niya ng lawyer ay dahil na rin sa mga kasong isinampa sa kanya ng Bureau of Internal Revenue o BIR. Ayaw niya na itong maulit muli. "May sarili po akong utak para po ipaalala ko sa inyo 30 years old na po ako. Puwede na po akong magdesisyon para sa sarili ko."

The Buzz reacts to Cristy Fermin’s accusations of disrespect

2008-10-17T14:53:00.000-07:00

The management of the showbiz-oriented show The Buzz said that they have properly informed controversial host-columnist Cristy Fermin about the appearance of Annabelle Rama and Nadia Montenegro in the show on two separate occasions. This is in response to Cristy's claim that the show was disrespectful of her twice, when Annabelle and Nadia appeared on The Buzz and commented against the controversial host. The Buzz management said that they make it a point to inform all the hosts (Boy Abunda, Ruffa Gutierrez and Cristy) about everything that will take place on the show prior to it’s live airing.

Two days after her suspension on ABS-CBN last October 15 as host for The Buzz and radio program Showbiz Mismo on DZMM, Cristy came out with her column in a tabloid, expressing her disappointment in The Buzz when Annabelle and Nadia appeared on the show (April 6 and September 28 respectively). The two gave no-holds barred interviews against the controversial TV host, who allegedly ruined their respective family's reputations.

Cristy's suspension was the result of her controversial statements on The Buzz last October 5, where she revealed that one of Nadia’s children is allegedly not fathered by her husband, former Caloocan Mayor Boy Asistio. Three days after her revelation, the management of ABS-CBN sent a memo to her and asked her to respond within 24 hours on why she should not be suspended. But after an intensive investigation, the management had hard evidence to carry out the suspension on Cristy.

Managing Director for TV production Cory Vidanes and business unit head Louie Andrada met with the host-columnist last October 15 to inform her about the management's decision to suspend her until the end of the year on grounds of violating some conditions in her contract.

Kris Aquino apologizes for her "pa-star ka!" comment on Charlene Gonzalez

2008-09-10T14:58:00.000-07:00

TV show host-actress Kris Aquino is known for being tactless in making remarks about people. In fact, she used to land on the headlines for her unsolicited comments. Last week, at a show of fashion designer Randy Ortiz, Kris once again stole the scene.

In Dolly Anne Carvajal's entertainment column yesterday, September 9, she reported, "At the gala show of Randy Ortiz, Kris snapped at Charlene [Gonzalez-Muhlach], ‘Pa-star ka!' just because the color of Charl's gown was different from the set motif."

Apparently, the motif for the event was black and white. Charlene wore a blue and dark brown outfit.

However, in an interview with TV Patrol World's Mario Dumaual aired earlier tonight, September 10, Randy Ortiz explained that there was really no color motif set for the event. He also had no intention to make Charlene different from the other celebrities. He added that the TV show host had fitted her outfit even before she went to an OFW event in Dubai. The fashion designer also believed that Kris was just joking Charlene.

This was also the explanation of Kris in a text message sent to TV Patrol World. She said that her mistake was that she cracked a joke at someone who is not close to her. Also in the same message, the Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal host recalled the issue between her and Charlene about the cancelation of the latter's weekend program.

The text message read, "Di ba nga when her show in ABS was cancelled, ako'ng napagbintangan na dahilan and I already answered na di naman ako nagkaroon ng weekend show."

Kris continued, "Obviously, she doesn't like me and my mistake was I gave her another reason to dislike me."

At the end of the message, Kris wrote, "Iniintindi ko na lang. I joked with the wrong person, so I apologized right away."

On the other hand, Charlene chose to keep mum about the issue. Her mother, Elvie Gonzales, hopes that this would serve as a lesson to everyone—to carefully choose the person that's the butt of a joke.

Father: Lindsay Lohan's relationship with Gal Pal is Toxic

2008-08-29T20:08:00.000-07:00

Lindsay Lohan's father is at it again, telling “The Billy Bush Show” that her relationship with gal pal Samantha Ronson is "toxic."

“Lindsay doesn’t drink or use,” Michael Lohan told Bush on his radio show on Wednesday. “[She] has been responsible with her work, she’s been doing a great job, however drinking and using isn’t the only form of addiction, and the relationship that Lindsay has with Samantha is toxic," he said, calling Ronson a “parasite” who is using Lindsay.

He also thinks Lohan's relationship with Ronson is not a sexual one, and he doesn't think his daughter is a lesbian.

“Absolutely not,” he said. “She dated guys her whole life, she has a relationship with Sam and it’s a friendship because she’s been hurt by so many guys in the past maybe she kind of walked away and found solace and companionship in a girl.

“I don’t believe it’s anything more than a friendship they have,” he continued, “but that’s between Lindsay and God, and Samantha and God.”

Lohan told "Access Hollywood" on Wednesday that her father Michael was “out of control” for speaking out about her personal life.

“I want him to stop hurting and talking to the media about the people I love,” she said, prompting the response from her dad.

Earlier in the week, Michael said in an interview with E! that Ronson was "using" his daughter. He also claims pictures exist of Samantha slipping drinks to Lindsay under a table.

He also told TV Guide on Thursday that he plans on airing out the truth in a one-hour TV special.

Lindsay told "Access" that she hasn’t spoken to her father for some time and Michael claims he’s getting much of his information from her mom, Dina Lohan.

On Thursday, the 22-year-old actress lashed out at her father on her MySpace blog, calling him a "public embarrassment" and a "bully" on MySpace and Ronson "a girl that means the world to me."

Wanda Nara - Newest celebrity sex scandal

2008-08-23T20:28:00.000-07:00

It appears that new celebrity sex tape is on its way. After Noelia, Fernanda Telesco and Johanna Cardona another latin celebrity was filmed while having sex. But who is Wanda Nara?

She is Argentinian model, vedette and actress. By the end of February of 2006 she jumped to the fame after rumours of a romance with Argentinian football legend - Diego Armando Maradona (ok, she confirmed that, but he denied it). Wanda Nara is well-known being a model that supposedly was virgin.

Wanda Nara, the model who was reported to be seen in a XXX video is the newest name added to the list of celebrity sex tape scandal. To me, it just seems like sex scandal is the only way for celebrities to become more and more popular!!!

Madonna: X-rated sex video alert

2008-08-21T23:31:00.000-07:00

Emails that claim to link to an XXX-rated video of pop superstar Madonna will only lead to disappointment, security experts have warned.

The emails, which point to a file called madonna.avi.exe, will direct you to a piece of malware detected as the Troj/FakeVir-EW Trojan horse.

"Madonna may have turned 50, but she's still as big a draw to cybercriminals as young Hollywood upstarts like bad girl Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.

"With the new world tour just around the corner, it's not surprising that the hackers are trying to capitalise on this. Using topical stories is one of the oldest tricks in the book and the danger is that fans of the material girl will click before they think," Cluley continued.

Other fake anti-virus programs have come to light in recent weeks, such as one spotted by Trend Micro that also used a bogus celebrity scandal to attract the recipient's attention.

There has also been a recent spate of emails claiming to link to videos of Angelina Jolie naked.

But in an attempt to lighten spirits, Cluley has promised a "fabulous and very exclusive" Sophos T-shirt as a prize to the eagle-eyed person that spots all the Madonna references in his latest security blog posting.

Paris Hilton: John McCain 'White-Haired Dude'

2008-08-06T20:45:00.000-07:00

Paris Hilton, the notorious socialite and hotel heiress, has created a light hearted video in response to John McCain's inclusion of her image in a recent campaign commercial. Paris Hilton also suggested, tongue in cheek, that she will run for President herself.

Paris Hilton is seen reclining on a lawn chair in a swimming costume and gold stilettos with a magazine on her lap. In the video, Paris Hilton displays a sense of humor and an actually sensible energy policy. She would certainly be a more attractive third party candidate than Bob Barr or Cynthia McKinney. The video also may be a first because Paris Hilton is wearing clothes.

Paris Hilton does some riffs on John McCain being old, referring to him as that "wrinkly white haired guy" and "that white haired dude." In announcing her candidacy for President, Paris Hilton states, as her credentials, that she is "neither from the olden days" or "for change like that other guy." And, besides, she mentions that she is hot.

As for her energy policy, Paris Hilton suggests a combination of that of John McCain and Barack Obama. Paris Hilton declares herself both in favor of off shore drilling and for tax incentives to make more hybrid and electric cars.

Paris Hilton also promised to paint the White House pink, which one supposes is better than the color (black) that Ludacris suggested.

A spokesman for the McCain campaign, Tucker Bounds, quipped, "Sounds like Paris is taking the 'All of the Above' energy approach that John McCain has advocated - both alternatives and drilling. Perhaps the reality is that Paris has a more substantive energy plan than Barack Obama." There is no reaction as of yet from the Barack Obama campaign.

Of course, at twenty seven, Paris Hilton is a bit under the constitutional age to become President of the United States. On the other hand, if possessing a lust for publicity and a monumental ego are prerequisites for the Oval Office, Paris Hilton has both in abundance. But, on yet the other hand, White House parties are bound to become more decadent to the point for gross vulgarity, with more potential for sex scandals hitting YouTube.

Paris Hilton causes a stir in Copenhagen

2008-08-05T21:11:00.000-07:00

US socialite Paris Hilton attracted huge crowds when she visited the Tivoli Gardens amusement park in the Danish capital on Tuesday evening.

Surrounded by bodyguards and hordes of photographers, Hilton, 27, was swarmed as she signed autographs and handed out pictures of herself and handbags from her new range.

Taking the time to chat to the young crowd and stopping at times to pose for photographs, she told AFP she wanted to "try out the rides and have a good time."

Hilton arrived in Copenhagen on Monday to promote her new collection of handbags at an international fashion house that opens Wednesday.

Asked by a Danish television channel what advice she would give to young people wanting to be famous, she said: "I think it's all about confidence.

"That's why my new handbag line is called 'Confidence'. It's important just to feel in that way and to know and believe in yourself and everything is possible."

A darling of the tabloids, Hilton, the great-granddaughter of the Hilton hotel chain's founder, shot to fame in 2003 when her boyfriend leaked a video of their sexual escapades on the Internet.

Hilton has since appeared in films and released an album.

Last year, she was jailed for 23 days for violating probation over an alcohol-related reckless driving conviction.

Lawsuit accuses Paris Hilton of LAX Movie promotion

2008-08-01T20:59:00.000-07:00

Paris Hilton didn't do enough pledging for a 2006 sorority comedy, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Worldwide Entertainment Group Inc. filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Miami, alleging the 27-year-old model-actress-heiress owes $75,000 in damages for not fulfilling promotional obligations.

Hilton entered into an agreement in 2004 for the production and distribution of the movie "National Lampoon's Pledge This!," according to the lawsuit. Hilton starred in the film and received credit as an executive producer.

The Miami-based concern said it paid Hilton and her company, Paris Hilton Entertainment Inc., $1 million for "Hilton's acting services" and for "reasonable promotion and publicity" for the movie, which was released in 2006 and featured Hilton as the president of an exclusive sorority.

While most famous for her tabloid exploits and reality TV series "The Simple Life," Hilton has appeared in the films "Bottoms Up," "The Hottie & the Nottie" and "House of Wax."

She's slated to next appear in the movie musical "Repo! The Genetic Opera" and the tentatively titled MTV reality series "Paris Hilton's My New BFF."

Expert: Lindsay Lohan Likely to Do 30-180 Days in Jail

2008-07-26T20:17:00.000-07:00

Lindsay Lohan's best bet for avoiding jail time is to go back into rehab yet again and remove herself from a high-flying party lifestyle if not, she could be facing up to six months behind bars, legal observers said Wednesday.

Lohan, 21, was less than two weeks out of a recovery program and was voluntarily wearing an alcohol-monitoring device when she was arrested Tuesday in Santa Monica for investigation of misdemeanor driving both under the influence and with a suspended license, and felony cocaine possession.

Her lawyer, Blair Berk, has said she had a "relapse" and was receiving medical care at an undisclosed location.

A call to Lohan's publicist was not returned Wednesday.

The actress completed more than six weeks in rehab less than two weeks ago, and had checked into another recovery clinic in January.

Over the weekend, she was photographed at a party in a pink bikini, with the monitoring device on her ankle.

That behavior won't cut it anymore and neither will spa-style clinics, said Barry Gerald Sands, a Century City defense attorney who's also a certified drug and alcohol counselor.

Lindsay Lohan arrested on suspicion of DUI, Cocaine possession after car chase

2008-07-24T20:12:00.000-07:00

The troubled saga of Lindsay Lohan took another turn early Tuesday when police booked her for investigation of drunken driving and cocaine possession after a frightened woman dialed 911 to report being chased by Lohan's SUV.

Less than two weeks out of rehab, with another drunken-driving case pending, Lohan had a blood-alcohol level of between 0.12 and 0.13 percent when police found her about 1:30 a.m., Sgt. Shane Talbot said. Lohan attorney Blair Berk said her client had relapsed and was again receiving medical care.

"Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease," Berk said Tuesday. Authorities received a 911 call from the mother of Lohan's former personal assistant, said Lt. Alex Padilla. The assistant had just quit hours before, he said. "The mother was afraid," Padilla said. "She wasn't quite sure what was going on so she called the police saying she wanted to make sure everything was going to be OK." The woman apparently didn't realize it was Lohan who was behind her, Padilla said.

Police said the woman drove her black Cadillac Escalade into the parking lot of Santa Monica's Civic Auditorium, about a block away from the Santa Monica Police Department, followed by Lohan driving a Yukon sport utility vehicle. Authorities arrived and saw Lohan and the woman in "heated debate," Padilla said. Two males were with Lohan in the 2004 Yukon, including the owner of the vehicle, Padilla said. The mother had just one passenger and it wasn't her daughter, Padilla said, correcting earlier police statements.

Padilla said the 21-year-old Lohan was unable to walk a straight line, touch her nose or follow a small light with her eyes. Officers also detected the smell of alcohol, Padilla said. The movie star was booked for investigation of driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license, both misdemeanors, and possession of cocaine and transport of a narcotic, both felonies, authorities said.

During a pre-booking search, police found cocaine in one of Lohan's pants pockets, Talbot said. Several hours later, Lohan was released on $25,000 bail. Padilla said he didn't know why Lohan was trying to catch the woman, whom he didn't name. Last week, Lohan turned herself in to Beverly Hills police to face allegations of driving under the influence in connection with a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash.

Lohan lost control of her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible and crashed into a curb and shrubs on Sunset Boulevard, police said. Lohan's blood-alcohol level at the time of that crash was above the legal limit, authorities said, but they wouldn't disclose how high it was. She also faces a misdemeanor charge of hit and run in that case.

A court date was scheduled in that case for Aug. 24, Lohan left Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment Facility on July 13, after a stay of more than six weeks. She had also checked into rehab for substance abuse treatment in January. When she left, publicist Leslie Sloan Zelnik said Lohan would voluntarily wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet.

"In part she is wearing the bracelet so there are no questions about her sobriety if she chooses to go dancing or dining in a place where alcohol is served," Zelnik said at the time. After bailing her out Tuesday, Berk said Lohan had been tested daily in order to support her sobriety.

"Throughout this period, I have received timely and accurate reports from the testing companies," Berk said. "Unfortunately, late yesterday I was informed that Lindsay had relapsed. The bracelet has now been removed. She is safe, out of custody and presently receiving medical care."

Lohan's estranged father, Michael Lohan, said he was worried about his daughter even though theirs was a "troubled relationship." In a statement issued through his New York attorney, he also suggested he and his wife Dina rally to help her, putting their own "legal battle aside for the good of our children."

Photographers Arrested for Loitering Near Britney Spears' Home

2008-07-21T23:42:00.000-07:00

Two photographers suspected of loitering on city-owned property near Britney Spears' home were arrested Monday.

Alexandre Passos of Canoga Park and Eduardo Ravalha of Los Angeles, both 35 years old, were arrested around 6 p.m. Monday after being warned to leave an access road near Mulholland Drive and Coldwater Canyon Avenue, police spokeswoman April Harding said.

The road is near the exclusive gated neighborhood that Britney Spears and other celebrities, including Ed McMahon, call home.

Ravalha's car was also impounded, Harding said. The pair were released, she said.

They had been warned once about leaving the road but were still on it when officers returned about 45 minutes later, Harding said.

Lindsay Lohan blasts dad: he is "addicted to fame"

2008-07-21T20:01:00.000-07:00

Lindsay Lohan branded her father Michael a "public embarrassment and a bully." The "Mean Girls" actress is furious her dad accused her girlfriend Samantha Ronson of using her to raise her profile, and insists it is Michael who is "addicted to fame."

She wrote in a MySpace blog: "If you have something to say to me, say it to my face - that's what I have believed my whole life - don't be a coward and say it to others first, let alone to all the media in the world. "It really hurts, because I have tried - after all that my mother and siblings have gone through, I really tried to make things work - for the hope of having a father again and wanting things to change - even though people have said, some people will forever remain the same. "

He has become a public embarrassment and a bully - to my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (it's obvious who that is). "His recent attack on my life and my loved ones is simply for an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS - FAME. If he really cared about me and my life, then he would learn to respect my wishes by staying out of it. Samantha has not and would never sell me out. Nor has my mother, who is wonderful."

Samantha also wrote a blog entry about the incident, insisting she is being "used" in Michael's desperate attempt to boost his profile.

She said: "I really don't want to say anything because I feel like he wins - he, being the man who is so desperate for attention that he goes to the media whenever possible. I know I am being used, I am just a pawn - easy to sacrifice in order to feed his addiction. I was angry when I first read his attack on me, but I believe that actions speak louder than words. So now I just pity him."

"Kiss" Star Gene Simmons the Alleged Subject of a New Celebrity Sex Tape

2008-02-20T20:51:00.000-08:00

If there's any truth to the latest Gene Simmons scandal, video rental stores may have to create special sections exclusively for celebrity sex tapes. According to the Daily Telegraph, a sex video featuring a man who resembles Gene Simmons and a blonde woman identified only as Elsa has become available via the Internet. The video, which shows the man and woman engaged in various sexual activities, is available for purchase on a website called GenesSecret.com.

Simmons, 59, who stirred things up on the inaugural edition of "The Celebrity Apprentice," is the latest celebrity whose name and public image have been linked to a sex tape. Simmons also has been in a long-term relationship with Shannon Tweed and is said to be "fuming about the tape."

The Gene Simmons Sex Tape: Possible Publicity Stunt

To get a little more "exposure," some female celebrities have posed nude or semi-nude in special interest magazines such as "Playboy" or "Maxim." Lindsay Lohan even recently recreated a legendary Marilyn Monroe pictorial for the February 25 edition of "New York" magazine.

While there is some artistic merit to those types of photographs, it's hard to see how a graphic sex tape could do anything but damage a celebrity's credibility, especially for a man like Gene Simmons who has worked hard to establish himself as an entrepreneur.

The Gene Simmons Sex Tape: Bad Judgment

Over the last few years, video cameras have become small enough to stick in a shirt pocket and almost every cell phone contains a digital camera, which makes it easy for a member of the "citizen paparazzi" to capture a celebrity performing a sex act in public.

In early January, a male acquaintance of actress Vivica A. Fox allegedly recorded their sexual encounter on his cell phone and mailed it out to friends. Fox wasn't trying to create a sexually oriented video, but she became the unwilling subject of one.

The “Edison Chen Incident” Sex Scandal

2008-02-15T20:32:00.000-08:00

Chinese-Canadian Hong Kong movie actor and singer, Edison Chen, is in deep water! over what Asian tabloids are now calling the “Edison Chen Incident”. The sex scandal involves pictures with Chen and other celebrities including, Bobo Chan and Gillian Chung.

Apparently, this is huge news in China! The foreign press is denying that the pictures are real and stating that they must be photoshoped!… but who’s to really know for sure, right?… It’s believed that the pictures were stolen off Chen’s laptop when he it was left with a computer technician to get fixed…. rumor also has it that there could be over 1000 racy images depicted the star in various sexual acts!!!…

Chen released the following statement via his website…

"Today I have broken my silence.

As of this evening, the police have made significant advances towards solving this malicious crime. As from the beginning I will continue to give the police my fullest cooperation to bring the perpetrators to justice.

At this time I am not able to discuss matters related to the case, but I do feel it is my obligation to accept full responsibility and take action to help both the victims and those associated with them to heal their wounds.

In this regard, I plead with everyone to please stop forwarding the images on the Internet. Furthermore, to completely rid the images from your computer. This is a small step that each one of us can take to help the innocent rebuild their lives. The priority now is for all of us to pitch in and help those in need.”

Pacquiao on Internet photos: Paninira lamang

2008-01-11T19:58:00.003-08:00

Kalat na kalat na ngayon sa Internet ang mga litrato ng boxing champ na si Manny Pacquiao kasama ang dalawang babae—hindi ang misis niyang si Jinkee Pacquiao—habang nasa loob diumano ng Embassy Bar sa The Fort, Taguig City.

Ang mga naturang mga larawan ay nailabas na rin ng isang daily nationwide broadsheet kahapon, January 9.

Ipinadala rin ang mga naturang larawan ni Pacquiao sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa pamamagitan ng email.

Pitong larawan ang nakuha ng PEP, kung saan naka-pink na long-sleeve polo si Manny.

Dalawa sa mga litratong ito ay kasama ni Manny ang isang babae na naka-empire cut top habang nakikipagsayaw. Sa limang larawan naman ay kasama ng Pambansang Kamao ang isang babae na naka-green.

Kumpara sa naka-empire cut na babae, mas nakakagulat ang mga larawan ni Manny kasama ang babaeng naka-green. Makikita sa mga larawan na magkadikit ang mga katawan ng dalawa at meron ding magkadikit ang kanilang mga mukha, na tila nagbubulungan.

Base rin sa mga larawan, masasabing nasa dance floor si Manny kasama ang dalawang babae dahil may mga nagsasayaw ring iba sa paligid nila. Sa isang larawan ay makikita ang spokesperson at matalik na kaibigan ni Manny na si Reli de Leon.

Sa pagkakalap ng mga karagdagang impormasyon tungkol sa mga kontrobersiyal na mga litrato ni Manny, nakausap ng PEP ang mismong part-owner ng Embassy na si Tim Yap.

Kinumpirma ni Tim na sa loob nga ng Embassy Bar kinunan ang mga naturang larawan.

Ayon kay Tim, frequent visitor daw nila sa Embassy si Manny at sa tantiya niya, noong early December 2007 daw kinunan ang mga kumakalat ngayong mga larawan.

Pero nilinaw ni Tim na wala silang kinalaman kung anuman ang mga ginagawa ng kanilang mga customers sa loob ng kanilang bar.

Nagbigay rin ng official statement si Tim in behalf of Embassy. Narito ang kanyang pahayag:

"Embassy as an establishment will always uphold the confidentiality that goes with the territory. Whatever we see and hear from other people, that's part of their own freedom and responsibility. It's their own discretion to do what they choose to do. In the end, we are just after clean, wholesome fun. We say no to violence and anything immoral in the eyes of the public. Whatever happens inside the club, stays inside the club."

Samantala, mula sa isa pang source ay napag-alaman ng PEP na ang pangalan diumano ng babaeng naka-green na kasama ni Manny ay "Donna," na kamukha raw ng sexy actress na si Diana Zubiri.

Sa panayam ng 24 Oras kay Manny kagabi ay sinabi nitong matagal na raw nakunan ang mga naturang mga larawan at paninira lamang ito sa kanya.

Mischa Barton Talks DUI

2008-01-10T19:52:00.000-08:00

As a follow up to the Gossip Girls story on Mischa Barton’s DUI arrest last month, the OC actress is owning up to her careless actions.

Earlier today, Barton told Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, “Obviously I’m 100 percent responsible for my actions in this case. I’m really disappointed in myself. I don’t know what to say about it, except that I’m not perfect, and I just don’t ever intend to do something this stupid again.”

Unable to get into specifics, Mischa revealed, “I was out with some friends and actually hadn’t been driving earlier in the night, but I wanted to get my car home. I can’t really get into specifics. We’ve got the case coming up, and I’m not supposed to say anything about what happened. I was pulled over.”

And it seems this Big Apple girl will think twice next time before driving without a license. “I didn’t have a license. I grew up in New York, the land of people who don’t have to drive. It’s always been the toughest thing about living in L.A. for me. I usually try not to get behind the wheel.”

Lauren Conrad Shows Off Her Drop-Top

2008-01-10T19:42:00.000-08:00

For all the huge Hills fans out there, you’ll be pleased to know that Lauren Conrad and the gang are back at it, filming more scenes for the MTV reali-drama.

LC was spotted outside her apartment in her black Mercedes CLK 320 convertible in a pretty black party dress and some movies star sunglasses.

Conrad’s roommate (and The Hills co-star), Audrina Patridge, has been coming clean on her MySpace blog as of late. The newly-in-love brunette seems to be in the business of setting the record straight.

She wrote, “Lauren and i still live together and are friends smile I am not ditching lauren for heidi....if i see her out we acknowledge each other but no were not besties! it is none of my business with what is going on between them and i stay out of it!---im not focused on others business, i have enough of my own personal drama.”

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz: So Happy

2008-01-10T19:22:00.000-08:00

Add another couple to the list of celebrities who spent the beginning of 2008 on a tropical vacation: Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson.

After they finished their New Year’s Eve hosting duties in Miami, Florida, it seems the “La La” singer and her Fall Out Boy hopped a plane to the Central American beaches of Costa Rica (it’s between Nicaragua and Panama).

And the paps were in full force, snagging some intimate pics of the happy twosome hanging out by the pool. Ashlee looked fine in her green halter-style two-piece, while Pete opted for some colorful swim trunks. The didn’t seem to mind the paparazzi presence, and got cuddly in spite of their lack of privacy.

Once back in the States, Pete and Ashlee were spotted at Starbucks in Los Angeles, complete with their dog. It seems Pete is still recuperating from his ankle injury, hence he is still sporting the brace.

Britney Spears Slapped With Restraining Order

2008-01-09T19:29:00.000-08:00

Believe it or not, things have gotten even worse for Britney Spears. Following the tumultuous mental ward lockdown fiasco, the “Gimme More” singer earned herself a temporary restraining order.

Specifically, Brit was hit with an “emergency protective order” which lasts for five business days. And K-Fed’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, confirmed that the LAPD took such action in order to “stabilize the situation.”

Police spokesman Mike Lopez explained, “The person it’s placed upon would have to stay approximately 100 feet from the other person, or face arrest. In most cases, it’s issued by officers when there’s the possibility of imminent and immediate danger to the victim.”

And Kaplan reassured the public (and Spears) that it’s not all about keeping the kids away from their mother. “Kevin doesn’t want to keep his kids from being involved in life. But foremost is that the kids be in an environment of structure stability. The next goal is to get things to a point where both parents are able to participate fully in their [children’s] lives.”

The “Piece of Me” singer was spotted out at a gas station on Sunset Boulevard in Bel-Air last night riding in her black Cadillac Escalade along with her assistant and her pooch, London. Since her little flat tire incident, Brit’s been giving her other vehicles a little time on the road.

Pamela Anderson sent divorce papers to Rick Salomon

2008-01-04T23:56:00.000-08:00

Pamela Anderson had divorce papers personally served to her Paris Hilton sex tape star-husband Rick Salomon on Dec. 28., usmagazine.com reported.

The papers were served two weeks after Anderson first filed for divorce from Salomon, a decision she rescinded just a few hours later with a blog post that they were "working things out."

Seen alone on New Year's Eve, Anderson recently blogged on her site: "2007 was an interesting year for me. What's the definition of insanity? This is the year I do everything I wanted to do – my way... I'm going to be proud of every single day – and make sure I do not veer from the path."

Anderson, 40, stated in her divorce request that she and Salomon were married from Oct. 6 to Dec. 13.

Anderson and Salomon wed Oct. 6 during a break between the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows of "Hans Klok's The Beauty of Magic" at Planet Hollywood resort, where Anderson was starring as a magician's assistant.

Lindsay Lohan in Rehab

2007-09-04T19:46:00.000-07:00

Lindsay Lohan, the twenty-one year old actress who has seemed to suffer meltdown after meltdown in recent months, isn't immune to scandal, even in rehab. Tucked away at Cirque Lodge, an upscale rehab facility in Utah, Lindsay Lohan is evidently still battling her vices. Word is that while she has been avoiding drugs and drinking, she is having a more difficult time abstaining from sex. Here are the recent rumors about the latest celebrity sex scandal, involving Lindsay Lohan in rehab.

Rehab insiders apparently say that Lindsay Lohan was caught in a compromising position at the Utah treatment facility during her stay. She and another male patient were evidently caught in a bathroom together, and rumors around the facility were that the two of them were engaging in sex. Some call it a way of acting out in the face of authority. Violating rules, whether in rehab or in the real world, are so ingrained for Lindsay Lohan that they are, for her, part of the norm.

Can Lindsay Lohan salvage her once promising career on the silver screen? Many Hollywood insiders are saying no. First and foremost, of course, she will have to find a way to put an end to her self-destructive behavior, and that for any twenty-one year is easier said than done. For a twenty-one year old mega-celebrity with millions of dollars, who is constantly in the spotlight, it is even more difficult.

Making bad movies doesn't help. And this summer's I Know Who Killed Me probably didn't help Lindsay Lohan's career any more than her drinking and drugging and driving under the influence.

And, of course, there is that double standard. Lindsay Lohan is a female. She is not supposed to be partying like Robert Downey, Jr. and Christian Slater on New Years Eve. She is not supposed to be screwing more celebrities than Scott Baio. And as a lady, as a Hollywood starlet, she sure isn't supposed to be flashing her bare crotch for photographers.

Paris Hilton Released from Jail

2007-06-07T21:18:00.000-07:00

Paris Hilton has been released from jail on Thursday, after just a 3+ day stay for violating her probation after a drunk driving charge, according to a report by NBC News.

According to reports by TMZ News (tmz.com), The notorious party heiress has been fitted for an ankle bracelet and reassigned to House arrest. Reportedly the authorities decided to release Hilton from jail due to medical reasons. TMZ reports this according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesperson, Steve Whitmore.

During a press conference held in front of the jail, reporters attempted to learn the details of the medical condition. Whitmore said he "could not discuss even the slightest health-related details due to confidentiality laws. Hilton had been initially sentenced to 45 days in jail, which was later reduced to 23 days for presumed good behavior.

Whitmore stated that Paris was not released early, rather that she had been reassigned. Paris Hilton will be confined to house arrest in her West Hollywood home for 40 days. Hilton is confined to a 3000-4000 foot radius of freedom. She has been fitted for an ankle bracelet, according to the statement made by Whitmore, in the press conference. This is in contrast to her jail cell, which was 96 square feet. After 40 days of house arrest, Whitmore said , "she will have fulfilled her debt to society."

During Hilton's confinement in jail, she was visited daily by her lawyer and psychiatrist, according to TMZ News. TMZ News stated that they had been told by "Unimpeachable source's" that the deal was sealed yesterday, and that Hilton made her exit early this morning.".

Much has been made of the heiress's stint in jail. Questions have been raised about whether Paris had received "celebrity justice". Hilton had been kept in an isolated cell 23 hours a day, reportedly for her safety.

Paris Hilton, the Hotel heiress and "celebutante" of the Simple Life was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation. Paris Hilton was given probation after an alcohol-related reckless driving offense earlier in the year.

Paris Hilton has been ordered report to jail by June 5. Paris will not be granted any work release, furloughs, use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail, or any other common "special accommodations" which celebrities often receive (www.forbes.com). Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer was the judge in the case.

"I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to everything. I'm sorry and I did not do it on purpose at all," Paris Hilton plead to Judge Sauer before her sentencing (www.mlive.com).

On January 15, Paris Hilton was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer. The officer informed her that she was driving on a suspended license and she signed a document acknowledging that she was not to drive (www.forbes.com).

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies also stopped Paris Hilton on February 2. This was when Hilton was charged with violating her probation. Paris was allegedly speeding and driving with her headlights off at about 11:00pm.

In court, Paris testified that she thought her license was suspended for 30 days and that she was allowed to drive for work purposes during the next 90 days, which was the time period in which the arrest occurred (www.mlive.com).

When asked about the document she signed in January acknowledging the suspension, Paris Hilton said, she thought he was mistaken and did not actually look at the document (www.forbes.com).

Paris had also failed to enroll in alcohol-abuse classes which were mandated by the court. Paris is one of a string of celebrities charged with alcohol-related infractions. She is one of the first recently to actually be sentenced to jail time.

2007-02-02T23:45:00.000-08:00

Feb. 2: Britney Spears arrives at Kimora Lee Simmons' Baby Phat fall 2007 collection during Fashion Week in New York.

Britney Spears left rehab on Wednesday after spending only one day there, according to reports, just a week after she spent the same amount of time at a different facility.

The television news magazine "The Insider" initially reported that Spears called a car service, walked out of the Promises Residential Treatment Centers in Malibu, Calif., and left the facility early Wednesday morning, far short of the usual 45-day stay.

Later, the TV show "Extra" and the Web site TMZ.com said Spears, 25, had left the center.

The troubled pop star and mother of two tried to get into a tattoo parlor before going home, but it was closed, "Extra" reported.

Spears checked into rehab Tuesday after a bizarre weekend that included shaving her own head and getting new tattoos.

Photographs showed a bald Spears on the grounds of the rehab center, smoking a cigarette and wearing a punk-rock style pink tank top emblazoned with the word "delicious."

Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, told People magazine's Web site that Spears had voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility.

Paris Hilton enters not guilty plea in Drunk Driving case

2007-01-09T21:08:00.000-08:00

An attorney for Paris Hilton entered not guilty pleas on her behalf Tuesday to charges of misdemeanor driving under the influence.

Hilton, 25, wasn't required to appear in court.

She was arrested in Hollywood in September. Police said they saw her "driving erratically" and pulled her over for a field sobriety test.

The judge set a pretrial hearing for Jan. 23 and said the trial must begin by Feb. 23.

If convicted as a first-time offender, Hilton would likely face a fine, enrollment in an alcohol-rehabilitation program and a possible license suspension, according to prosecutors.

Hilton has starred with sometime-friend Nicole Richie in the reality TV show "The Simple Life."

Britney Spears parties with Paris Hilton, leaves underwear at home

2006-11-29T23:49:00.000-08:00

They have already been dubbed "The Brit Pack": three girls, increasingly famous for making spectacularly bad choices, marshaling their collective brain power to navigate the booths and banquettes at Hyde or Spider Club or wherever it is they're drinking it off on any given night.

Paris Hilton, her frenemy Lindsay Lohan and newly separated Britney Spears: three party girls without a care (babies? what babies?), a high tolerance for alcohol or a good publicist.

In the past week, Spears who has a 1-year-old and 2-month-old at home has spent every single night partying with Hilton (and, occasionally, Lohan).

A quick study, Spears long absent from the scene, what with being married and pregnant and all has already picked up such "It" girl tricks as how to make sure your picture winds up everywhere.

Such as, don't wear underwear and flash your crotch while pretending you hate the paparazzi and tearfully begging for them to leave you alone.

After dumping Kevin Federline, Spears seemed like she was on the upswing: She cut her hair. She looked like she was bathing regularly. She celebrated her separation with some wholesome ice-skating at Rockefeller Center and even more wholesome shopping for chunky sweaters and beanie caps! at the Gap. She started recording her comeback album, working late nights at the Sony studios in Manhattan.

Then she took off for a Vegas weekend, where she reconnected with old friend Hilton, and then Lindsay Lohan started angling to get in on this power clique, which she eventually did, and now all is well and the trio go clubbing every night, smoking and drinking and having dance-offs.

Meanwhile, Spears and Hilton have been tapped to co-host the Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand on Monday, the New York Post's Page Six column reported.
