Burning Q’s: Stylist-Free Zone & Lies About Lindsay
Why do the papers write false stories in the tabloids about the stars like Denise Richards and Lindsay Lohan? Don’t they know that it ruins their careers as well hurts their familes? The tabloids should print positive things about the stars. Steve
Just for you: Paris Hilton and not one, but three, puppies.
Do famous singers still have vocal coaches to help out with their singing while performing and recording tracks for albums? Millie, New Jersey
In order of importance: Meat Loaf does. So does Britney Spears.
Why do so many children of famous actors or performers go into acting? Is it easier for them to get into the business? Tabs, Alabama
It’s easier for them to break in, sure, but distinguishing themselves from a famous relative can require draconian efforts. Like ordering the press not to ask about Julia Roberts. Which is exactly what Warner Bros. did when li’l niece Emma made the promotion rounds for her Nancy Drew movie. As for why celebrities’ kids get into show business in the first: Most of them went pro before they had much of a choice, as child actors. So the real question should be why they stay in the business.
Why do celebs like Paris Hilton go out to the same clubs all the time? Also, how do they get on some of the launch-party lists? PR Princess
Their publicists can foresee the Hollywood party schedule by scattering the innards of kittens and endangered seal pups and reading the future in the steaming entrails. As for the celebs, they usually know the club owner or promoter; by returning to the same spots, they know they will be treated well, if not outright comped.
I’m looking for a list of celebs, Hollywood and otherwise, who have at some point in their lives lived in their cars. Can you help? Erin
Jewel. I would go on, but it would be much more interesting for you to read some praise for my work.
Answer B!tch, you are the best. You and your B!tchling both have quick wit, with smart, funny, bitchy comments we all enjoy. S.T.
Correct!
Do you remember that show that was like The Bachelorette, but had “average” guys? Vanessa
Funny. I thought I’d flossed my brain clean of that memory. Thanks a lot.
Are there any A-listers out there that don’t have a stylist? If so, do any among them manage to dress well most of the time? Juliette, Amsterdam
A-list? Not likely. Plenty of B- and C-listers though. Rachel Bilson once bragged that she didn’t have one. Ditto with Victoria Beckham, who has said she works with them only for magazine shoots. And of course, I don’t have a stylist. Yet.
Oh, and be my fan on Facebook, ’kay?
Jonas Brothers: Hollywood’s New Wave
Jonas Brothers: Hollywood’s New Wave
Their rise to fame has been meteoric and the Jonas Brothers have taken everything in stride. And yesterday, they were spotted keeping up artist-fan relations.
The paparazzi caught up with Nick, Joe, and Kevin outside of their hotel in Toronto, Canada Monday afternoon, Sharpies in hand, meeting and greeting fans and signing autographs as they posed for pictures.
And according to Vanity Fair magazine, the brothers Jonas are part of a phenomenon being dubbed “Hollywood’s New Wave,” a moniker that finds them in good company.
Also falling into the category are young stars like the cast of the CW mega-hit series Gossip Girl, as well as Julia Roberts’ niece Emma Roberts, Mama Mia’s Amanda Seyfriend, and Panic Room’s Kristen Stewart.
Katherine Heigl’s Great Escape
Katherine Heigl has graduated from the romantic comedy portion of her Julia Roberts-paved career and is moving swiftly into her Erin Brockovich period.
According to Variety, the Grey’s Anatomy thesp has signed on to star in and produce a big-screen adaptation of Escape, the best-selling memoir of Carolyn Jessop.
Jessop was born into the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints and was forced to marry a man 32 years her senior before ultimately fleeing the sect with her eight children. Her testimony later led to the conviction of polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs.
Filming on the drama will begin once Heigl completes work on her lighter-fared effort The Ugly Truth.
Julia Roberts Stops By Letterman
Julia Roberts Stops By Letterman
She’s normally more the elusive-type celebrity, but yesterday Julia Roberts actually posed for a few pictures on her way to tape a segment for “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
The “Pretty Woman” actress was spotted outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre in Midtown Manhattan, sporting a white jacket/white shirt/white scarf combo along with a pair of jeans and a pair of oxblood heeled boots.
During the interview with Letterman, Julia spoke at length about her marriage with her husband, cinematographer Danny Moder, whom she met on the set of “The Mexican” back in 2000.
And when the topic turned to arguments, Roberts asserted that she and her man don’t really fight, much to Letterman’s disbelief. “I mean everybody has a tiff,” the Late Show host exclaimed. Julia replied, “No! We don’t. We don’t really…That is a boring answer, but we don’t really.”
