Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt to Host Wedding Special

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt may not actually be married, but they staged their fake nuptials effectively enough to be given a wedding special on MTV.

Speidi will play host as four couples ring in the new year by getting married live on MTV's Engaged & Underage: The Bridal Bowl. Yes, it's called that.

The four-hour special will air at 1 p.m. on January 1. MTV News' Tim Kash and Kim Stoltz, along with Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, will host the event.

The couple drew attention for eloping in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on November 20. Because they wed outside the U.S., however, their nuptials were not legal, and on the December 22 season finale of The Hills, the couple went to the courthouse.

Alas, Spencer opted to wait and give Heidi the big wedding she's always wanted.

Faux Newlyweds

These tools are pretty good at posing for staged photos, we'll give them that.

Yeah, The Hills fans were pretty much pissed about their most recent stunt. But hey, the fake Cabo ceremony at least gave us a great Speidi wedding album.

On the New Year's Day show, one couple will walk down the aisle each hour, complete with footage of the couples' lives and commentary from friends and family.

Wow, now that sounds awesome. Nothing like sharing your poignant "I do's" with a national TV audience... and Spencer Pratt. Where do we sign up?

Jessica Simpson Rushes to the Aid of Tony Romo

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Tony Romo has an 0-2 playoff record, a dismal December mark, and a whole lot of physical pain to show from his most recent football debacle.

But the Dallas Cowboys quarterback does have one thing going for him after his team's dismal loss to the Philadelphia Eagles over the weekend.

Well, maybe two things, if you know what we mean.

Jessica Simpson, the athlete's girlfriend, "rushed to his side as soon as she found out that Tony got hurt," a source said amid reports surfacing about Tony Romo collapsing in the shower of the team's locker room after the game Sunday.

“She got on a red eye flight right when she found out, and arrived at 5 a.m. [that] morning," the source added.

Romo PictureCreamy

Not to worry, Tony Romo. Nurse Jessica will see you now.

Romo's torn cartilage popped out of place twice during the game and again afterward, which is what caused him to collapse, according to the Dallas Morning News.

No word on what the couple plans to do with its offseason as the good NFL teams play on, but Jessica certainly has time to nurse Tony back to health.

He's gonna need it. Heck, a couple of more months like this past one and Tony Romo's career will be going down faster than her on ... forget it.

The Year That Was: December 2008

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008
What a year it has been; from sex tapes, to plane crashes, to prison sentences, 2008 has had more high octane drama than a Schwarzenegger movie. But like every disaster film, our story has an end, so join us now as we reach our tale’s denouement...

Alexandra Burke Has Got The X Factor

In a dramatic finale Alexandra Burke, with a little help from Beyonce Knowles, was officially crowned the champion of X Factor 2008. Days after she won the competition, Alex's debut single, Hallelujah, became the fastest EVER selling song via download, and it even managed to scoop the coveted Christmas number one spot in the UK. Very impressive, indeed...

Lily Allen Is Back....Finally.

It's been two long years since Lily Allen last released a song, so earlier this month we were excited to learn that the star had finally produced some fresh new material. The Fear is Lily's first single from her forthcoming album It’s Not Me, It’s You, both of which will be released in the new year.

Blake Incarcerated …Again.

Let’s just recap on Blake’s year shall we? In early 2008 the lanky star was serving time in the slammer awaiting trial on charges of inflicting grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice. After his trial in June, Blake was found guilty and wasn't released from prison until late November, after which he was promptly sent to a rehabilitation centre in Surrey for six weeks. After failing a drugs test at the clinic, Blake escaped and went to visit Amy at a private hospital where they had some goodbye “fun” (if you get what we mean). And now he’s back in prison until god knows when. What a year.

Boy George, He’s Guilty!

Do you know what the former Culture Club singer was found guilty of? Well apparently Boy George falsely imprisoned a male escort then beat him with a metal chain when he tried to flee his London flat following a naked photo shoot. Yes that sentence really did just happen. The star will be sentenced officially this January, and it’s expected that he’ll be serving a lengthy stretch inside. That sounded filthy, and it really wasn't meant to.

Diana & Eggnog Forever

Did you laugh as much as we did when Eoghan Quigg dramatically ran on stage to hug Diana Vickers, mid-song, after she’d been voted off the X Factor? We bet you did. To be quite honest with you, we were never entirely convinced of the authenticity of their relationship, but in the lead up to the competition’s final, during a press conference, Simon Cowell let slip: “they’re just two kids in love”. So, are they a real couple or was it all just a crude publicity ploy to boost ratings and get people voting? Only time will tell.

Lily Allen Vs. Katy Perry

Earlier this year Katy Perry started a little war of words with Lily Allen when she said  “I'm like a fatter version of Amy Winehouse and a skinner version of Lily Allen!” Meow, get that girl a saucer of milk! So what did Lily have to say in retaliation? Well speaking on a radio show in December the outspoken singer announced: “It's like, you're not English and you don't write your own songs, shut up!" Well said Lily, you certainly showed her.

We were hoping for a long-standing celebrity feud between the pair, but sadly a few days after Lily made her scalding remarks, Katy Perry decided to diffuse the situation by offering an explanation of her words: “I was just kind of joking and trying to be funny. I didn't mean anything by it. Comedians are not necessarily to be taken super seriously.” Is Katy Perry a comedienne or did we miss something?

George Bush Gets A Shoe Thrown At His Head

Haven’t we all felt like throwing a shoe at George Bush’s head at one time or another? Unfortunately George has good reflexes so it didn’t hit him in the head. Shame.

Is JLo’s Marriage On The Rocks?

Jennifer Lopez’s four-year marriage to her husband, Marc Anthony was reported as being at "breaking point" when both her and her husband were spotted at different social events without their wedding rings on. Apparently their relationship has hit a rocky patch because of Marc’s controlling and flirtatious behaviour. So will JLo and Marc stay married for another year? Watch this space.

Girls Aloud’s Atrocious Performance On GMTV

Atrocious isn’t a word we use very often, but we think it aptly describes the band’s off-key, lacklustre performance on GMTV earlier this month. CLICK HERE to watch it and see for yourself. Do you think they all had a go at Sarah Harding backstage afterwards?

Return Of The Winehouse

After spending nearly a month in a private rehabilitation clinic in London, we breathed a massive sigh of relief when we spotted a healthy looking Amy Winehouse frolicking on a beach in the Caribbean with a group of her pals. Will Amy stay clean and healthy in 2009? Well, we certainly hope so but we're not holding our breath.

Gosh it's been a shocking year hasn't it?! So much has happened! For starters just about every celebrity in the universe gave birth, including Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman, Billie Piper, Nicole Richie, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, and Jamie Lynn Spears. Amy Winehouse went into rehab more times than we care to remember, Peaches Geldof had an alleged overdose, eloped then moved to America, Heath Ledger died and Britney Spears was sectioned, then just a few months later she made a surprising, and very successful comeback.

But throughout the highs and the lows, you've stayed with us every single step of the way. So we guess all that's left to say is, thank you and happy New Year! Join us at MrPaparazzi.com in 2009 for much more of the same.

DMX: Three Cases, Four Guilty Pleas, One More Mug Shot!

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Hey, sometimes it's a lot easier to run all your errands in one place. For Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge that place is totally Wal-Mart.

For DMX, who is making a serious, single-handed bid to comprise half of The Hollywood Gossip's celebrity mug shots gallery, it's court.

In Maricopa County Ariz., court this morning, DMX pled guilty four times in three different cases, all at the same time. Here's the breakdown, courtesy of TMZ:

  • In case one, he pleaded to one count of cruelty to animals (Michael Vick would be so proud), as well as to one count of possession of narcotic drugs
  • In case number two, he pleaded guilty to theft
  • And in lucky case number three, he pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana

As part of DMX's plea agreement, all additional charges against him were dropped - and there were actually quite a lot more, if you can believe it. The somewhat insane rapper also known as Earl Simmons will be sentenced on January 30.

Britney Spears Still Brings the Heat

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

In good times and in boredom, in 5150 psychiatric holds and in health, the celebrity gossip media's love affair with Britney Spears continued throughout 2008.

The pop star ranks No. 1 for the year in USA Today's Celebrity Heat Index, which measures exposure in various print and online entertainment news outlets.

Britney Spears, who was No. 1 in 2007, took the top spot 11 weeks this year, the most of any celebrity. She first appeared at No. 1 in early January, as she experienced two stints in Los Angeles area hospitals after displaying erratic behavior.

Eleven months later, she topped the list yet again as her new album, Circus, soared to #1 on the charts. No word on whether she's really dating Sandip Soparrkar, but regardless, for celeb news publications, it's all Britney, all the time!

So Innocent

Following Britney Spears: Angelina Jolie, No. 2, who celebrated the birth of twins in July with partner Brad Pitt, No. 4, and his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, No. 3.

Although Jolie, Aniston and Pitt all ranked after Spears individually, collective coverage of Pitt and his lovers past and present topped the charts for 14 weeks.

Among the Top 10: Jamie Lynn Spears and Tom Cruise made the upper tier, but Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith dropped out - the latter most likely for good.

Jennifer Aniston: New Year’s Eve in Mexico

Beware the Celebrity Hair: Katie Holmes

Kim Kardashian’s New Year’s Resolution

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Celebrity of the Year: Kim Kardashian!

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

As 2008 winds down, it's time to reflect upon those - from household names to relative unknowns, from A- to D-list - who made this year so memorable.

The Hollywood Gossip is unveiling 10 finalists for its 2nd Annual Celebrity of the Year award. They've given us their best, their worst, even their nude pictures in some cases. Now it is time for us to give something back with this moving tribute.

We previously profiled a series of headline-making celebrities, such as Alaska's most dysfunctional famly, the Palins, and a not-so-innocent teen icon, Miley Cyrus. Today, we present the top-ranked Celebrity of the Year… Kim Kardashian!

A Major Shopper

Kim didn't make a new sex tape this year. She didn't star in any movies, record any hit songs or be involved romantically with anyone except boyfriend Reggie Bush.

So, how did Kim Kardashian earn the honor of Celebrity of the Year, despite her lack of notable achievements? Because she has mastered the Hollywood gossip game.

Unlike former BFF Paris Hilton, who tries desperately to make news by staging elaborate reality shows, Kim does... nothing. She walks the red carpet, she goes shopping, she poses with her family - and she remains one of the most searched for celebrities on the Internet every month.

The Hollywood Gossip published approximately 145 stories on Kardashian in 2008; that's one every 2.2 days! They included fascinating looks at her wardrobe, her thoughts on marriage and, of course, her sizable rear end.

Even Spencer Pratt - who is forced to fake marriages for attention - has to admire Kardashian's ability to be famous simply for being famous. It's a skill that has earned Kim millions.

Hence, for possessing large breasts, wearing tight clothing and simply living her life, we konsider Kim Kardashian to be 2008's Celebrity of the Year. Will she accomplish nothing and repeat the award in 2009?

Our staff will be with you every step of the way to find out!

Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty: Mexico Lovin’

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Their relationship thus far has been plagued with media scrutiny, so it’s no wonder Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty were doing their best to avoid the paparazzi at the Mexico City International Airport this past Saturday (December 27).

The “Factory Girl” actress looked like she was desperately trying to hide from the shutterbugs as she accompanied her “Brothers and Sisters” beau into a waiting car.

Tripp Johnston Photos Spark Bidding War

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

When Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin confirmed that her teenage daughter, Bristol Palin, was expecting a baby, the celebrity gossip world believed the first photos of her newborn child would likely spark a bidding war among several publications.

Looks like Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, born December 28 to Bristol and her baby daddy, Levi Johnston, is already delivering on that promise.

According to one source, bidding for the celebrity baby photos began at $100,000. People won out in the end, but In Touch Weekly was the only other weekly to make serious bids, according to several sources involved in the process.

Trig Palin

STRAIGHT TRIPPIN': That's actually Trig Palin, Sarah Palin's son, with Bristol and Levi. No photos of their baby, Tripp, have been released yet, but People won the rights.

The price didn't soar immediately, according to sources, because Sarah Palin gossip just doesn’t sell all that well for the magazines on newsstands.

“Sarah was on the cover of People, Us Weekly, and OK! the same week, and really only People saw a bump in sales," says an inside source.

But then the recent, felony drug-related arrest of Levi Johnston's mother, Sherry Johnston, caused the price tag for the photos to go up suddenly.

"The bidding started well before the baby was born, but once Levi Johnston’s mom was arrested - well, then you had a story,” says one editor.

None of the magazines would confirm the exact figure for how much Bristol Palin made from the deal - most estimates hover around the $300,000 range.

No word on whether the money from the pics will go to charity, or whether it will all be spent on Sarah Palin's wardrobe and/or 2012 presidential bid.

Random Doctor to Angelina Jolie: Don’t Get Knocked Up!

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

When men dream about Angelina Jolie nude, they need a box of Kleenex handy.

When Dr. Larrian Gillespie, who has never met the actress, thinks of Angelina Jolie nude, she fears for the star's health.

“Angelina is at risk of having a stroke or heart attack, and because she developed gestational diabetes, there is a high risk she’ll have it again, with the child being at risk for diabetes,” Dr. Gillespie said to OK! magazine when asked if Jolie should give birth again.

Not OK!

Added another insider:

“Her previous pregnancies ended with emergency caesarian secions. She’s been told that, at the least, she should not get pregnant for a year after her last deliver, and it would be safer if she did not get pregnant, ever.”

Katy Perry. Who knew about this?

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Katy Perry has had a lot of recent media attention swarming her, as of late. Not only does she have a huge hit song out, but she is also the Los Angeles New Years Eve performer that Carson Daly will cut to throughout the night. Taking the promotions of herself up 10 more notches, Katy went to Mexico and broke down into a bikini. And who knew? She has a rocking body. This has to make her one of the best singers in the world. The power of the boobs I say. Well Katy, I know I will be watching you on NYE along with Carson Daly. I mean, just kidding, I am going to be out hanging out with an A-List crowd of hot chicks. So what time does your gig start anyways? Not for me, just asking for a friend. Anyways, here are some more Katy Perry bikini pictures. Enjoy.

Bristol Palin welcomes bastard child to high profile political family.

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Bristol Palin, daughter of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, welcomed a bastard child into her heavy hitting Alaskan political family.

“We think it’s wonderful,” said Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol’s grandmother Sally Heath, who confirmed the news. “The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited.”
The baby’s name is Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston and he was born at 5:30 a.m., according to Jones.

This kid can look forward to a lifetime of hunting, trapping, paps blue ribbon and watching Russians wash their clothes all day and making sure they aren’t up to any funny stuff. So when’s the wedding? I guess never, if it hasn’t already happened.

Britney Spears dating life is now fusion.

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

So Britney Spears is apparently dating internationally now. She is now being linked to her Indian choreographer Sandip Soparrkar, who is a known playa! Hey, don’t hate the playa, hate the game!

What does Britney Spears have to say about a budding romance with the hot choreographer Sandip Soparrkar? In true celebrity fashion, she says everything and nothing all at once: “Sandip is a very handsome man.” Soparrkar himself claims they’ll only be working, but he also teases the press subtly, saying that “I am planning to do the rumba, which is the dance of love.”

Lets just be straight about this: Britney Spears is hot again. And cute. She’s in shape. Smiling. All the goods. K-Fed is fat. So my score is: Indian 1, K-Fed 0. At least for this year. Now if this Indian can take crazy on his curry……he will be just fine.

Celebrity Big Brother Here We Come…

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008
Yes it's that time of the year again already: Celebrity Big Brother starts this Friday! Apparently producers of the show are hoping this year will be the sexiest series yet. Set designers for CBB have decked out the house to look as romantic and sensual as possible.

“The snug is designed for flirting,” A show insider revealed. “It’s fitted with romantic lights and strewn with sensual throws and cushions. A love triangle would be ideal. The house is similar to the BB9 house but everything’s bigger and better. We have kept the heaven and hell theme. One bedroom is very basic, the other is luxurious.”

Although the celebrity line-up isn't officially announced until the show launches this Friday, it's rumoured that Mutya Buena will move into the BB house alongside LaToya Jackson, Ulrika Jonsson, Michelle Heaton, Shameless actress Tina Malone, glamour model Lucy Pinder, Verne Troyer (aka Mini-Me) and 80's pop icon Steve Strange.

And its not to save her looks. Angelina Jolie is being advised to stop having babies as it may pose a signifigant health risk. To her, not Brad. The only risk Brad Pitt has in all this is wearing condoms, which poses a serious annoyance threat to him. Ok! Magazine is reporting it.

“Her previous pregnancies ended with emergency caesarian secions,” an insider tells OK!. “She’s been told that, at the least, she should not get pregnant for a year after her last deliver, and it would be safer if she did not get pregnant, ever.”
The health complications this time around could pose a direct danger to the Changeling star, Dr. Larrian Gillespie, who has not treated Angie, tells OK!.
“Angelina is at risk of having a stroke or heart attack, and because she developed gestational diabetes, there is a high risk she’ll have it again, with the child being at risk for diabetes.”

I hear Angelina is fertile. Hey, I’m just sayin’…….
