Paris Hilton arrested...again

Paris Hilton was arrested last night after cops spotted her speeding, then discovered she was driving with a suspended license. She was also arrested on September 7, 2006 and pled no contest to a DUI. Since she has violated her probation, Paris could spend up to 90 days in jail. Or... Daddy Hilton will drop thousands of dollars to keep his daughter out of jail and buy her a brand new Bentley to keep her on the road. Bravo to money.

- Wolfgang Puck might have given celebrities Hepatitis A. He has been employing an infected server for fourteen parties this month, but only four parties remain in question. With 26-45 guests at each party, that is a lot of people he could have infected. But since most people in Hollywood share needles, I'm guessing they probably already had it.

- Kate Walsh, aka Addison on "Grey's Anatomy", will be getting her own spin-off from the show. The rest of the cast is pissed. Apparently, Ellen Pompeo, aka Meredith aka Whiny Bitch, feels she should have been consulted on the issue. Why? Because she is a star! Also, Katherine Heigl, aka Izzie, is upset because she thought she was the one that was going to get her own show. Is it just me, or is Katherine crying about something in the press every single week? So sorry you didn't get your own show, girl, but I think you can manage with your $20,000 an episode.

- Liev Schreiber confirmed on last night's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" that he and girlfriend Naomi Watts are expecting. He also confirmed that they will not be naming their child Liev, as it is too hard to pronounce. Thank you because I had to spell check that like six times.

"Heather Mills: Unlikely my leg will fly off on Dancing"

That is the headline I just came upon on the internet. Word for word. I should not make fun of the disabled, but I couldn't help but laugh my ass off when I saw that. Thought you might enjoy it, too.

The envelope please...

Hola people! I hope you enjoyed last night's ceremony. I'm exhausted from staying up and watching the entire Academy Awards and some press conferences afterwards, but we all suffer for our art, right? If you couldn't keep your eyes open long enough to see who won, here is a rundown of the biggest categories:

Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls
Best Supporting Actor: Alan Arkin, Little Miss Sunshine (There is a God. So sorry, Eddie.)
Best Actress: Helen Mirren, The Queen
Best Actor: Forest Whitaker, The Last King of Scotland
Best Director: Martin Scorsese, The Departed
Best Motion Picture: The Departed

The only real surprise for me was Alan Arkin. When I saw Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg come down to present the Best Director Award, I knew Marty had won. Congrats to him, as this is long over due. I thought Ellen Degeneres did an alright job; nothing really had me doubled over in laughter. However, I really did enjoy the singing by Will Ferrell, Jack Black, and John C. Reilly.

But y'all don't really care about that crap, do you? You want to know who wore the best dresses. Now, what you have all been waiting for.......... Callie's Fashion Coverage of The 79th Annual Academy Awards!!!!!

Best Dressed:

5. Maggie Gyllenhaal in a Proenza Schouler dress - A lot of you will probably disagree with me on this, but I thought it looked great as she walked on stage. And she had the best one-shoulder of the night - a look so many people were wearing and something you can expect me to be bringing back from freshman year of college as well.


4. Cate Blanchett in a Giorgio Armani Prive dress


3. Reese Witherspoon in a Nina Ricci dress (she has been wearing her a lot lately)


2. Jennifer Lopez in a Marchesa dress - I can't stand her and I have no idea why she keeps showing up at these award shows, but I would totally wear this dress...while simultaneously looking fabulous!


1. Jessica Biel in an Oscar de la Renta dress - Who says you can't wear a flashy color to The Oscars?


Worst Dressed:

5. Jennifer Hudson in Oscar de la Renta - Love the dress, but shrug not needed.


4. Nicole Kidman in a Balenciaga dress- We all knew it was wrong when Charlize Theron showed up with her own built-in pillow, so why must you repeat that horror?


3. Beyonce in an Armani Prive dress - I don't like it and I don't like you.


2. Kirsten Dunst - You are not elderly.


1. Anne Hathaway - Like I told Hilary Swank after The Golden Globes, there is absolutely no need to giftwrap yourself for the occasion. You aren't jumping out of a cake.


And The Oddest Couple of the Night Award goes to............................

Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice and Kelly Osbourne - This picture creeps me out. How do either of them benefit from this friendship?


Enjoy! I look forward to your commentary. I have to actually do some work now, people. Peace out.

What is that terrible screeching sound?

Is it tires squealing? Nails on a chalkboard? No... It's just James Blunt singing "Beautiful", probably my most hated song ever (that awful "Had a Bad Day" song that is forever playing everywhere I go is a close second). But speaking of James Blunt, he was involved in a car accident last night leaving a pre-Oscar party. Apparently some man's foot got run over, but unfortunately, Blunt's vocal cords were not injured in the incident.

Here's what else has been happening:

- Amanda Peet of "Studio 60" and her husband David Benioff welcomed a baby girl, Frances Pen.

- Kevin Federline visited Britney Spears in rehab because he was so deeply concerned for her. Since then, K-Fed has shockingly been called "a good dude". And that excellent judge of character is.......Jason Alexander, Britney's first husband of 55 extremely romantic hours.

- Anna Nicole Smith might have been a lesbian. She also might have been a transsexual. She may have also believed Tupac is really dead, Tom and Katie consummated the marriage, and live episodes of "Will & Grace" were a good idea.

- DON'T FORGET!!!!!!!!!! The 79th Annual Academy Awards are tomorrow night at 8PM on ABC!! Get excited!! This is the second year in a row I have seen all five nominees for Best Picture, in order to form a well-educated opinion on who I believe should win. That, or because I have nothing else better to do.

So, here goes:

The five nominees for Best Picture are Little Miss Sunshine, The Departed, Babel, Letters from Iwo Jima, and The Queen. I believe the winner should be.......... Letters from Iwo Jima. This was the only one I felt had a solid plotline, kept me engaged in the story from beginning to end, lots of action (not that that's necessary to win Best Picture), and got me to genuinely care about the well-being of the characters. I liked The Departed, and I would be just as happy if that won. Quite honestly, I wasn't blown away by any of the films this year. The Oscars have lost some of its credibility over the years - especially after Three 6 Mafia was allowed to take home an award last year.

Little Miss Sunshine is "the little movie that could", and I love it. But I do not think it deserves an Oscar at all. The Queen was excellent, but I felt like I could have seen the same actors (except Ms. Mirren) and cinematography in a made-for-TV movie or miniseries event. Babel was pretty good, except I was extremely disturbed by the frequent and extremely unnecessary crotch shots. The Japanese story line is not important to the plot and probably shouldn't have been in the movie at all, yet somehow Rinko Kikuchi got nominated. Whatever. I get the whole lives intertwining thing, like in Crash and 21 Grams, etc. I'm a little tired of it though, so please, don't let Babel win. Like I said, I wouldn't mind if either Letters or The Departed wins. I liked The Departed, and staring at Mark Wahlberg for those few precious moments of screen time he got was the best part of the movie. I thought it was a little confusing though and definitely not Scorsese's best (you can't beat Goodfellas), which is why my vote goes to Letters. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens tomorrow night.

Expect my reactions and fashion commentary at some point after the ceremony..... I'll try for Monday, but I can make no promises. I am looking forward to tomorrow night, except for the dreaded moment when The Donkey from Shrek wins a coveted Academy Award. Eddie Murphy, I never thought I would see the day that you would have an Oscar... and I would not. Touché, Norbit. Touché.

Let's try this again...

Just a quick post to let you know that Britney Spears has reentered rehab today after Kevin Federline called for an emergency custody hearing. Her treatment is supposed to last between 30 and 45 days. If she leaves again before her full treatment, FedEx will go to court and request full custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James. I never thought FedEx could look like a winning parent in my eyes. What is the world coming to?

Also...

- Marcia Cross, Bree from Desperate Housewives, gave birth to twin girls, Eden and Savannah.

- Lindsay Lohan couldn't find time in her important schedule to attend the funeral of her so-called "father figure" Robert Altman yesterday. She was too busy sniffing out the nose candy with Steve-O. She is a sad human being.

- The series finale of The O.C. is tonight at 9 pm on Fox. We shall miss you Sandy, Seth, and most importantly... Chrismukkah.

Hope you all have a good day. I've got to get back to work. I don't know how they run things without me.

Britney in rehab...and out again

Britney Spears officially entered a Los Angeles rehab called Promises yesterday, as confirmed by her manager Larry Rudolph. But now, she's out again. Spears checked out of Promises today and tried to hit another tattoo parlor on her way home, but much to her dismay, it was closed. She must have been on one hell of a drinking binge to have done this twice in one week.

OK! Magazine is reporting that Kevin Federline threatened to have Britney's hair tested to see what she has been up to. He could possibly be testing the hair to see what kind of illegal drugs she has been using, as evidence in a custody battle. But Brit had the last laugh as she cut it all off to prevent her drug use being found out. Good move, Britney. However, I don't think jumping from rehab to rehab really helps your case any.

In other news...

- Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are supposedly expecting a baby. She was seen at Pastis this weekend "looking visibly pregnant". Sources say they plan to secretly marry in a similar fashion to Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams. Heath is Naomi's ex-boyfriend.

- Hania Barton, the 19-year-old sister of Mischa Barton, has entered rehab because of her addiction to prescription painkillers. Since Mischa's fifteen minutes have come and gone and I've never even heard of Hania, I'm not sure why this is news. But I thought I would pass it along anyway.

- There is a shortage of eye liner throughout America. Why? Because Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro are officially divorced, and he wants to impress you ladies.

- Lindsay Lohan has been seen partying with Steve-O of Jackass fame. I'm not sure that hanging out with a known drug addict right after you get out of rehab is the smartest move in the world, but I guess you've got to get your contact high somehow.

- Heather Mills (Paul McCartney's ex) will be appearing on Dancing with the Stars. Sad...does she need money that badly? She will be the show's first disabled performer (she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident). There are 11 other competitors, but the people I have heard of are: Ian Ziering, Vincent Pastore from The Sopranos, Leeza Gibbons, Joey Fatone of N'Sync, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Laila Ali, Muhammad's boxer daughter. The rest of the people are athletes or pageant queens, so naturally, I've never heard of them.

- Shit. Now I have to start hearing about this annoying ass couple all the time again. Trista and Ryan of The Bachelorette and the only couple that has lasted from that franchise are having a baby. Fantastic.

- Exes Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady are expecting a child together. The couple broke up in December, and Brady has been dating Giselle Bundchen ever since. Oooh...awkward.

- I have stopped paying attention to all the Anna Nicole Smith hoopla, but the judge says he will reach a decision on what to do with her body on Friday. I hope they have that thing in one hell of a freezer. Gross.

Peace out. Have a good day.

G.I. Brit

Taking a cue from Demi Moore, Britney Spears shaved her head in another desperate cry for attention. We know you exist, girl. Take a breath. Don't pull your hair out. Oh, wait...

Britney checked in to Eric Clapton's Crossroads rehabilitation center in Antigua on Wednesday. Less than 24 hours later, she checked out. Apparently, she came out of her black out. Oh, the things we do when we're drunk. Don't you hate it when you get wasted, check into rehab, then wake up going, "What was I thinking last night? And whose vomit is this?" Gets me every time.

After she returned from her Carribean vacay, Brit went to the Tarzana salon and requested that the stylist shave her head. When the stylist refused, Britney took the shears and began shaving her head herself. Then, she went to a tattoo salon and got a new tattoo of red lips on her wrist. Boy, is she gonna be pissed when the buzz wears off.

Welcome to my new blog!

Hola! Welcome to the Pop Guru Blog!

As many of you know, I have had an email for several months now that details the recent antics of celebrities and other magnificent happenings in the world of popular culture. At the urging of many friends and after much consideration, I have decided to start a blog to keep you up to date with all entertainment news.

I will do my best to keep it as up to date as possible. My computer has just crashed and my schedule is very weird for now, but I will try my damnedest to let you know the next time Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears gets wasted and passes out at a party. Some of you will prefer this format to the email, and others vice versa. We'll just have to give it a trial run and see which works best. I'm hoping this format will bring more readers, and if wishes really do come true... more money. Hence the cutesy name.

Expect to see pictures, links, and of course, my own personal twist on current pop culture events. Also, expect to see mistakes as I am very new to this process. Keep the positive comments and advice flowing. I like to hear your feedback, but please no grammar corrections or anything to that likeness. I figured this method would keep your inbox clear on the days I send out emails...unless you liked the distraction at work!

Anywho, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it. I deeply appreciate all of you spreading the word about the email, and I hope you will spread the word about the blog. So much has happened while I have been rambling, so please to enjoy... The Pop Guru Blog!!
