Deep Thoughts by Nicole Richie.

“I remember the first time I tried heroin. There was a lot of vomiting.”

– Nicole Richie, the August issue of Marie Claire magazine

With just one day to go until she celebrates her 30th birthday, big screen stunner Liv Tyler treats herself to a well deserved shopping spree at Barneys in New York City on Saturday.

With a nearly nonexistent music career and dwindling interest in her personal life, lip-synching sensation Ashlee Simpson spent the day kicking in and around the streets of Hollywood today.

While her thinner, prettier and more talented sister Jessica is busy preparing for her fourth starring role in a major motion picture (aptly titled ‘Major Movie Star’), a solo Ashlee hiked up her socks up for afternoon of self-reflection, and likely, self-pity.

Look who’s working on her pre-wedding tan!

As the days count down to the celebrity wedding of the summer, tan fanatic Eva Longoria hit the sunny shores of St. Tropez with her bridesmaid today to work on that famous glow.

Could the tube top bikini mean she’s going strapless for the big day? You’ll have to wait and find out on her lucky 7-7-7 wedding date to joueur de basket-ball Tony Parker.

With just over a week before she’s scheduled to tie the knot with NBA champ Tony Parker, glowing bride-to-be Eva Longoria stepped out in St Tropez with some friends last night for an evening of fun and celebration.

Looking gorgeous in a slinky yellow frock and nude sandals, the ‘Desperate Housewives’ babe partied at the exclusive nightclub Les Caves Du Roy until the wee hours of the morning before making her way back to her ritzy $1600/night hotel room.

Tony and Eva arrived n St. Tropez, a French resort town, yesterday, and have planned a week-long party leading up to the celebrity wedding on July 7.

The happy couple will spend a few days in St. Tropez post-party to cope with the hangover and then head over to Paris, for their wedding.

Things are about to get a whole lot freakier for ‘Mindfreak’ Criss Angel.

Criss’ secret wife Joanne Saratankos, who he has been in a relationship with for 15 years, is filing for divorce saying their marriage ended when Criss started having an affair with none other than Cameron Diaz.

Page Six reports Joanne will subpoena Miss Diaz and have her testify about her relationship with Criss Angel in New York state Supreme Court on Long Island.

The scorned wife is claiming mental cruelty and abandonment. Her uber famous attorney Dominic Barbara says Criss (who changed his last name to Angel for magical effect) has kept his wife of five years a secret to increase his sex appeal among female fans.

Angel’s lawyer, Elliot Weiner, did not deny the adultery allegation.

No word on Cameron’s take on the whole situation.

Less than two weeks after giving birth to her third child, a bouncing baby boy named Henry Daniel Moder, busy mom Julia Roberts stepped out of her Los Angeles neighbourhood yesterday to show off her new bundle of joy.

For those of you looking for a big People magazine photoshoot or a tabloid bidding war over the first official photos of the latest addition to the Roberts-Moder clan, don’t hold your breath. A rep for the Oscar-winner recently said: “It’s not her style. The most important thing is that Julia has a healthy baby. Where the baby photos go hasn’t even been thought about yet.”

Former felon Paris Hilton enjoys the perks of freedom with a dash in the ocean while on a post-jail Hawaiian vacation on Friday.

As if she hasn’t had enough solitude over the past three weeks, the heiress was photographed swimming all by her lonely self.

Oscar-winner Renee Zellweger was on hand in the Czech Republic to officially kick off the 42nd Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

During the gala evening, Renee handed over the Crystal Globe Award to the legend of Czech animation Bretislav Pojar.

The 38-year-old actress also introduced her latest movie ‘Miss Potter’, the biographical story about the author of popular children’s books at the turn of the 19th and 20th century.

With that being said, you’d think girlfriend could have dressed up a little bit!

Ever since the messy story began, we’ve all simply assumed that Britney Spears was just crazy and hooked on drugs and alcohol.

But now Britney is fighting back and pointing the finger of blame at her mom Lynne, her ex-hubby Kevin Federline and her former manager Larry Rudolph.

According to TMZ, the 25-year-old stuggling singer says she never had a drug or alcohol problem and that her stay at the Promises Rehab Facility was a plan that her “people” cooked up.

We’re told eventually the professionals believed Spears suffered from post-partum depression, made worse because she stopped taking Prozac. She was also emotionally crumbling because of a messy divorce and intense media scrutiny.

After leaving Promises, as paparazzi waited for the golden shot of Britney drinking again, she began getting angry that she was at a rehab facility in the first place. Britney and her assistant, Allie Sims, called Promises multiple times, asking for a copy of the report showing that she tested dirty for drugs and/or alcohol when she checked in.

We’re told it took several days to get an answer. Only two reports were sent to Britney’s rep, both showing no drug or alcohol use whatsoever. Most shocking, the first report was dated March 7, 15 days after Britney checked in.

Sources say one of Britney’s reps then called the facility and asked for any evidence of a dirty test, but she was told there was nothing in the file.

What the?!?

Could Britney actually be making sense? As pointed out by TMZ, how can a rehab facility treat a patient when they don’t even know what they are treating her for?

Well, as we all know, Miss Spears later fired Larry Rudolph. Soon after she stopped speaking with her mother and allegedly filed court papers to keep her away from Jayden and baby Sean-P. What’s more? The nearly over legal battle she had with former hubby K-Fed was also just reignited. In other words, the war has only just begun.

Dare I say, Team Britney?
