Geez, they’ll let anyone into Hollyweird these days. Pete Doherty, star of nothing important, has been shooting heroin again. What’s worse, he let himself get caught on tape. Dude, have you never heard of YouTube, the archive of all foolish behavior, for history? I’m not sure how much of a hero to kids you are to begin with, but maybe you don’t care that kids will see you. (Note: While I haven’t gone looking on YouTube, I’m guessing the video might get pulled if it does get submitted.)

While you stare at Leelee Sobieski’s breasts, tell me, doesn’t she look a lot like Helen Hunt? I’m finding that there are a lot of younger women in Hollywood (and a few men) that look a bit like someone else who have already made a name for themselves. A list is forthcoming.

Sources say that Macca (Sir Paul McCartney) has been seen holding hands on the beach, kissing in the Hamptons in New York State. The woman in question is the wife of a lawyer, who he met on the day of his divorce hearing, Oct 11th. Of course, his estranged wife Heather Mills (aka Mucca) has been raising hell on TV, slamming Sir Paul as well as the British media, who she says hate her.

Lovely R+B Popstar Rihanna has been saying, as recently as a few weeks ago, that she is not dating actor Josh Hartnett. However, she finally confirmed that she is in fact dating him and that she’s smitten.

Kylie Minogue - the near-40 Aussie poptart who likes to flash her chocha a lot and just recovered from breast cancer - has leaped into the social networking space online with KylieKonnect. (I call her a poptart because she acts like one, despite her age.) You can register online or from a mobile phone. The site is intended to supplement her blog and let her connect with fans. Kylie Konnect. Oddly, though, while she might be seen as “getting” the blogosphere, the social net’s designers, New Visions Mobile, made a big mistake in having the domain name kylieconnect.com redirect to some non-descript URL at ourtribe.mobi. I’m guessing kylie.mobi is taken.

Brad Garrett - currently on the sitcom Til Death, previously on Everybody Loves Raymond - finalized his divorce from his wife of seven years, Jill Diven. Reasons stated were “irreconcilable differences.”

So far this year, it seems that it’s mostly been young female celebrities such as Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan that have either spent time behind bars or came close to it. Not to be out done, the guys are catching up.

Shia LaBeouf (Transformers and upcoming Indiana Jones) and R&B singer Trey Songz are the latest celebrities to get arrested or receive a jail sentence.

A possibly intoxicated LeBeouf was arrested on the weekend for refusing to leave a department store, despite a warning from a security guard.

Songz was arrested for disorderly conduct after a shooting on the weekend in Springfield, Mass.

Recently, actor Lane Garrison of Prison Break was sentenced to 40 months in jail for vehicular manslaughter. One of his passengers was killed in Dec 2006, when Garrison - who had a blood alcohol level of over .15 - crashed his SUV.

Looks like a couple of new celebrity brats have dropped. Nancy Grace had twins and Milla Jovovich only looked like she would. Milla, 31 years old, had a daughter, Gabo Anderson, with director fiancé Paul Anderson. Grace, a 48 year old news anchor, had a boy (5 lbs, 1 oz) and a girl (2 lbs, 15 oz) two months before schedule.

Egads! Britney Spears is supposedly dropping over a hundred Gs on entertainment. Per month. And $16,000/month on clothes alone. Her total expenditures are nearly $740,000/mth, according to court papers. However, that does include her mortgage and house utilities. But only $6,000/month is spent on child care. Ex-hubby Kevin Federline says spending nearly three times that on childcare, and nearly nothing in comparison on clothes and entertainment. Ah the lives of the rich and stupid. I mean famous.

Heather Mills, ex-model and estranged wife of Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, has been going on and on on TV about the death threats she’s getting and how she’s been driven to the brink of suicide. Do yourself a favor, woman. Please shut up. You’re not Princess Diana, and I’m sure if you shut up, things will settle down. I think it’s all your fault to begin with, but airing it the way you are, with this almost smirk on your face, doesn’t help. There’s something insincere about the way you’re discussing it, but I can’t put my finger on it. I never agree with anything Dr. Phil says, but there’s a first time. Go get some help, and lie low.
