I know you’ve all been sick and sleepless, worrying about the state of Mischa Barton. I’m happy to report that she’s out of those chains that bind her, better known as a 5150, and in New York. Presumably, she’s there to film for her new show, the one that I know is going to be a hit, The Beautiful Life.
I’d like to personally extend thanks to the mental health facility that helped to strip Misch of her lifelong liquid-eyeliner habit. I knowSource: The Evil Beet RSS Feed
Lest you didn’t think it was possible, there is one celebrity who is not a fan of Twitter: Kid Rock. The former Mr. Pam Anderson said of the social network, “It’s gay. If one more person asks me if I have a Twitter, I’m going to tell them, ‘Twitter this sh*t, motherf*cker.’” And then, despite having - you know - said that, he continued, “I don’t have anything to say, and what I have to say is not that relevant. Anything that is relevant, I’m going to bottleSource: Scandalist RSS Feed

Brett Favre has made the decision to remain retired instead of playing this season for the Minnesota Vikings.
In a written statement on the teams website Vikings Coach Brad Childress said:
“It was a rare and unique opportunity to consider adding not only a future Hall of Fame quarterback but one that is very familiar with our system and division. That does not detract from the team that we have. As we have consistently communicated, we feel goodSource: DailyStab RSS Feed
With Jennifer Aniston’s hectic schedule of filming back-to-back films and enjoying hot “revenge sex” with random Scotsmen, you may have started to wonder how Jennifer has time to be a good Goddess Circle friend. Turns out, she doesn’t have time for those bitches anymore. Too much? I thought so. The National Enquirer has a story up called “Why Jen Aniston Hates Courteney Cox’s Guts”. Juicy, right? Like, maybe it’s drug related or maybe some huge fight over chicken salad, perchance? Turns out, there is no “hating” of anyone’s “guts”. They’re just two women in their forties with different stuff going on, and they haven’t had time to hang out face-to-face in a little while. That’s why the first Goddess Circle invented phones. Or Skyping, for that matter.
Courteney Cox has ditched her longtime BFF Jennifer Aniston!
“It seems like Courteney and Jen’s close friendship has chilled in recent months, and it comes down to their lifestyles not gelling anymore,” an insider told The ENQUIRER.
“Jen is almost a workaholic who spends her free time dating and hunting for Mr. Right, while Courteney is happily married and busy juggling work and motherhood.”
Courteney’s husband David Arquette “can’t be thrilled with the idea of Courteney developing a roving eye as she cruises parties and restaurants as Jen’s wing girl.”
So Courteney and David - whose daughter Coco is 5 - are spending more time with couples who share their interests, like kids’ play dates and family dinners, said the source. That includes actress Laura Dern and rocker-husband Ben Harper, and Spider-Man Tobey Maguire and jewelry designer-wife Jen Meyer, as well as single mom Sheryl Crow, said the source.
Jennifer was noticeably absent from Courteney’s 45th birthday celebration at Nobu in L.A. on June 15.
“Courteney and Jen will always be friends,” said the source, “but right now they’ve drifted apart because they’re at different stages in their lives, with different priorities.”

We have just witnessed the not-so-popular “Jennifer Dumped Again… by her best friend” story. It comes around every so often (like two or three times a year) when tabloids get tired of running the standard configuration of Jennifer Aniston + Random Dude + Brad Pitt=Confusion/Jealousy/Lust/Revenge/Babies. The last time this story was recycled was when Courteney and Brad Pitt alleged ran into each other and talked like normal adults. Apparently, Jen hates that kind of thing.

Soap queen Dorian Lord, aka Robin Strasser is in limbo. In five months her contract expires and so far, it seems that she is the only one negotiating. Bear in mind we’ve seen literally half the veterans and best actors of daytime television soaps being axed or otherwise asked to take pay cuts that are far more than they should be.
Witness the exodus from Days of our lives, where those who were considered to be older, most notably the greats of the show were let go., seeming very much like age discrimination to everyone who viewed it.
We’re pleased that we aren’t alone in thinking this.
Robin herself makes the comment when discussing her possible leavetaking from her show. In her statement Strasser comments “I have promised my fans friends, I have promised myself, I have promised the universe; when I wanted to come back to the show so badly between 2000 and 2003, when I was blacklisted from ABC Daytime,” Strasser recalled. “I said that if I get back in, I’m staying. They can carry me out… measure the door for a gurney or my coffin because that’s it. I’m staying. I’m not quitting. I am not refusing to negotiate. What I am able to say right now is that I have been asked to make no announcement and to say nothing.”
Strasser was previously noted as saying that there was no negotiation involved on the network’s part.
“I know that it is a bigger paycut than other actors have been asked to take, and anybody who was asked to take a larger paycut was making two or three times as much as I was,” Strasser said of the networks final offer. “In 2003 when [executive producer] Frank Valentini broke the blacklist and got me back on the show, that necessitated my taking a 63% paycut. So I got 63% of what I had negotiated in the 1990s. So what I am seeing is something that feels disrespectful, something that feels inequitable [and] it makes me feel discriminated again by virtue of … I’m an older woman.”
Well Hallelujah. Someone had the courage to say it. So stay tuned. If Strasser doesn’t get some kind of feedback from the network, her last date to show will be December 18.
