SO IT WASN’T PILATES AFTER ALL

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Call it the least-surprising revelation in showbiz: Star Jones Reynolds didn’t lose all that weight by dieting and doing Pilates.

In the September issue of Glamour, on newsstands August 7, the former ‘View’ co-host concedes that she did, indeed, have gastric bypass surgery in 2003 to shed all those pounds.

“I was intentionally evasive. Lying was never an option for me, so I called it a ‘medical intervention,’ which was true, but it was really a pathetic attempt to tell only the truth I could handle at the time,” she writes.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER DOES BRITISH ‘ELLE’

SJP on her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw: “People confuse my character on ‘Sex and the City’ for me. I don’t spend the best part of my day shopping. I love shopping on the rare occasion I get to do it and I love beautiful clothes, but these are the things that aren’t important — they don’t make you a better, more substantial person, thinking person. But fashion can give you a certain feeling — it’s that feeling that shoes can give you, or a bag, or the way a pair of pants fit.”

SJP on the current status of Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe: “They’re archived and stored like museum pieces. They’re in a temperature-controlled vault.”

SJP on her attitude towards fighting the age battle: “I feel frankly I would rather have time with my friends and family than worry too much about certain things. I would err on the side of a dinner party than the gym. Food and people are life’s greatest pleasures.”


ALL IN THE FAMILY

There’s a new epidemic popping up all over Hollywood — picture pefect families.

First there was Brangelina and Co. Then came the Beckhams. Now it seems there’s a new, arguably more beautiful brood in town.

Super hot bikini babe-turned-super hot mom Brooke Burke and her equally sexy babydaddy/fiance David Charvet made a rare public appearance yesterday at the Summer On The Pier event in Malibu. Proudly toting their 7-month-old daughter Rain and 7-year-old Neriah (Brooke’s daughter from her previous marriage to plastic surgeon-to-the-stars Dr. Garth Fisher), the gorgeous fam showed off their charitable side as they enjoyed an afternoon under the gorgeous California sun.

LANE IS REALLY SORRY. REALLY.

Sure, recording a public service announcement is a keen legal move for celebs in trouble looking for a light sentence. But THIS advance look at an anti-drinking PSA from ‘Prison Break’’s Garrison Lane really doesn’t look self-serving at all. It’s actually quite disturbing.

Lane pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and felony DUI after an accident in December left a 17-year-old passenger dead. He is due to be sentenced on Thursday.

This one is a must-watch!

SEND THIS GIRL TO REHAB

Once a talented singer, it seems these days she’s known more for her boozed up escapades.

Following last night’s slurred performance at London’s Old Trafford cricket ground, British drunkstress Amy Winehouse was spotted staggering back to the Hilton Hotel clutching a half-empty bottle of Jack Daniels.

At times, onlookers watched Amy stop abruptly for a brief eye-bulging sketch out before resuming her wobbly walk.

This latest incident has fueled great concerns about the singer’s appearance and the extent of her excessive drinking.

With the concern change Amy’s habits? No, no, no!

DUFF KEEPS THE RUSH GOING

Following a weekend full of booze and partying with new beau Mike Comrie, a fresh faced and makeup-free Hilary Duff keeps the party going with a candy raid in Winnipeg, Manitoba where the teen queen has kicked off her 12-city Canadian concert tour.

Rocking sweats, a navy hoodie and Muggasins (my own variation of Uggs and moccasins), the 19-year-old multi-talent loaded up on chocolate, candy and sugary drinks before making her way back to the tour bus. The songstress was en route to the MTS Centre where she was scheduled to perform to a sold out audience.

As for the next time Hilary is expected to hook up with BF du jour Mike Comrie? She plays Edmonton’s Rexall Place on August 1. Mike is an Edmonton native.

LILO VS. POSH: WHO OWNS IT?

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Coke queen LINDSAY LOHAN matched her funky Emilio Pucci tunic with black leggings during one of her trademark wild nights out in New York City. Meanwhile, British import VICTORIA BECKHAM accessorized the minidress version with — what else? — sky high stilettos and oversized sunglasses during a practice match for hubby David’s LA Galaxy team in sunny Los Angeles.

THE FAT LADY (NOT BRITNEY THIS TIME) HAS SANG

Monday, July 30th, 2007

TMZ reports Britney Spears and Kevin Federline will officially divorce today!

‘Just minutes ago, Spears’ lawyer, Laura Wasser, and K-Fed’s mouthpiece, Mark Vincent Kaplan, walked into court — final papers in hand — to get a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge to sign-off on the settlement, making the divorce final.’

So, here are all the ugly little details:

- Britney will give K-Fed $15K a month in child support
- Britney will give K-Fed $20K a month in spousal support (will cease in November)
- Britney and K-Fed will share a 50/50 custody agreement when it comes to the kids

So, is it the end of an era? Don’t bet on it. Not unlike every other Britney Spears tabloid report, this story ain’t quite over. Since Brit took the kids out of L.A. last week to go to Las Vegas sans written permission, reports have K-Fed headed to court soon in an attempt to get full custody.

Stay tuned on any developments!

GRANDPA?

Soon-to-be senior citzen James Woods and his 21-year-old gal pal were all smiles as they attended a party for the HBO show ‘Entourage’ in Malibu on Sunday.

The 60-year-old actor and his bleach blonde fiancée have been dating since they first met last year at a promotional event in New York City.

Woods’ lady friend used to do hair in Long Island before getting her claws into the A-list actor (hence James’ perfectly dyed quaf.) She now spends most of her time digging for gold.
