What’s Hot In Hollywood - Support for Jessica Simpson
By support, I don’t mean her underwire; I mean other celebrities, many of them her friends. They want us to know they support her no matter what size she is and just hope she’s happy. That includes Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, sister Ashley Simpson-Wentz, and Simpson’s ex Nick Lachey. Carmen Electra pitched in her support and feels the same way I do, that her appearance is more a result of her choice in outfit than anything else. Simpson appeared in concert opening for Rascal Flatts Thursday and was clad in skin tight black leather, not looking nearly as chunky as she did in the “mom jeans”, per the picture published in People.com. Having said all that, I am very glad my body is not held to that same scrutiny.
Another one to have faced a lot of scrutiny, Britney Spears is getting a restraining order on her one-time manager as well as a one-time boyfriend, Osama “Sam” Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib, according to Pop Eater. Spears’ attorney and her legal conservator, her father, believe that the two men, along with an attorney, have been trying to regain control of her affairs. As recently as late last year, Lutfi was trying to contact Spears by texting her, and she still regularly lets Ghalib know of her travel plans, and he then arranges for the paparazzi to be there, benefitting himself financially. As long as they all make sure she doesn’t shave her head again, it’s all good.
Maybe Gary Collins needs a conservator as well, as People.com is announcing he’s been arrested for his second DUI in a year. Back then he spent four days in jail as it was his second DUI offense, having been arrested for an offense in October of 2007 as well, and is still on probation for that. Another driver had died in an accident that resulted from that offense, although Collins wasn’t found responsible. These celebrities with the DUIs always get to me. I realize his career isn’t exactly booming right now, but can he really not afford a cab? He could be headed to jail after this, and I’m betting any “girlfriend” he makes there won’t be nearly as attractive as his wife, a former Miss America.
Someone should tell Tommy Lee’s pilot it’s also against the law to fly helicopters when you’re drinking. TMZ is reporting that with Lee riding shotgun, his driver flew too close and underneath a chopper from the LAPD. Lee’s pilot was forced to land, and before the cops arrived, the pilot went to an aviation facility where he was given vodka. It’s clear what the plan was as when he was found later at a hotel, he said he’d only started drinking after he landed. It would seem they were trying to alter the results of any test, but a blood alcohol test was ordered anyway.
Courtesy of a Hollywood Trivia Calendar by E!, here’s your trivia for today. The previous answer was Heath Ledger. He may have lost the 2006 Oscar to Philip Seymour Hoffman, but I don’t suspect he’ll be losing this time. Not only did he have a good performance in The Dark Knight, he’ll be pulling the sympathy vote as well.
Today’s question: Queen Latifah lent her voice to a furry character in which animated sequel? Answer tomorrow. Feel free to chime in in the comments with your answers.
a. Shrek 2
b. Toy Story 2
c. The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride
d. Ice Age: Meltdown
