Is Paris dumb or is it just an act?

Paris swears she is not dumb she claims it was all an act in order to get some attention. Paris told Barbara Walters that she really is a smart girl but all the publicity she was "surprised" with was purely an act.

A warrant has been issued for Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty's arrest. Judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrants in India's northwesterrn city Jaipur after a local citizen filed a complaint. Citizens of India are claiming the two actors " transgressed all limits of vulgarity." There are very strict public indecency laws in India and these two actors overstepped their boundaries, many citizens of India are extremely mad and disappointed at Richard and Shilpa's behavior. Last week crowds were burning many of Richard's popular movies in effigy, Richard had left India after the kissing incident but is a frequent visitor to the country. There is no saying what will happen to Gere if he is convicted but Indian law states a person who is arrested for public obscenity faces up to 6 months in prison, a fine, or both. If you did not see the incident between Richard and Shilpa watch it below.

Tobey Maguire made the most expensive movie ever made and he is not afraid to reap the rewards. Tobey is traveling around the world to promote Spider Man 3, but he is not traveling alone, he is bringing his entourage of 10, his fiance Jennifer Meyer, and his daughter Ruby. In every city he stays in Tobey asked to have a personal chef to cook him vegetarian meals, a rocking chair and full sized refrigerator in all of his hotel rooms, and two cases of the water he likes. Tobey knows this movie is going to be a huge success, and thinks he has every right to ask for whatever he wants. Good job Tobey! take advantage of it while you still can.


American Idol gave back last night, but unfortunately it was a fairly boring two hour show. There were performances by Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and others but it was not as fun to watch as I thought it would be . The best parts were when they showed the judges traveling to Africa. It showed the softer side of Simon and the fun side of Ryan as he played with many African children who were all very sick. Surprisingly Madonna was part of the show and did a short clip from where else, Malawi. She is trying to save impoverished African children one by one, maybe she will start adopting more kids. All in all the show was alright but raised a lot of money, the glorified telethon raised over $30,000,000. Ryan was pretending to do an elimination ceremony throughout the whole show, but in the end he announced no one was going home. All of the "Idol's" are safe at least for one more night.


Hugh Grant got arrested for assaulting photographer with baked beans yesterday. Hugh got very angry at a paparazzo and attacked the 436year old man than managed to leave him covered in baked beans. Add some hot dogs to that mix and at least could have attacked the guy with a full meal.

While it was actually sunny this morning......

Scarlett Johansson was a no show at the Vanity Fair and Dior sponsored free arts event in New York. After hosting Saturday Night Live she went out partying until early Sunday morning. When Scarlett left the club she was walking with a jacket over her head so she could hide from the paparazzi and she tripped and got a taste of New York pavement. Many think Scarlett was a no show because she was embarrassed by her fall, but maybe she was just too hungover to get dressed.

Rosie just can't seem to keep her mouth shut. She hosted the Matrix Awards yesterday at the Waldorf-Astoria Grand Ballroom, this awards ceremony is a for New York's most accomplished women in media. Their were nearly 2,000 guests including BrabaraWalters,Judith Giuliani,Meredith Veiera, and Hilary Clinton. Rosie decided to take this opportunity to rant about Donald Trump, she claimed to be sad when he called her "disgusting" and "fat" because it was "always my dream to give an old,bald billionaire a boner." She also decided it was the proper venue to start cursing, she used the F-word a few times and offended many of the guests. There are certain places where you try to behave yourself but Rosie seems to think that every ceremony and event is an open forum to say whatever comes out of her mouth, what she needs to realize is half of the people she is ranting in front of are on Trumps side.

MySpace can be a fun and safe way to meet a lot of people on line and voice your opinions on different topics, but when someone wants to get revenge on you it is very easy to screw someone over with the click of a button. Shanna Moakler was out to get Paris Hilton so she decided to publish her cell phone number on the popular site. Paris was in Las Vegas when the calls starting pouring in, and said Shanna's actions were mean spirited and a good way to get press attention. Shanna was smart, she wanted to get Paris and she found the perfect way to do it.

Another celebrity goes to Rehab, this time it is "Tudors" Star Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Meyers went in for alcohol-treatment and will return to film "Tudors" once his treatment is over, his reps said he needed a break and thought treatment was necessary. Jonathan must have taken the role of Henry VIII a little too literally.



Sanjaya made his way to the "Late Show" stage but not as a guest, he read the top 10 list which was "10 things I have learned from American Idol." It was awkward, stupid, yet very funny if you missed him last night watch it now.


Sanjaya on "The Late Show with David Letterman"

While you were waiting to see if Sanjaya would get kicked off of "Idol"....

Trump and Rosie go at it again, Donald received a pair of Rosie O'Donnell's underwear from the movie "Exit to Eden." Donald sent the underwear to Barbara Walters so she could hang it on the office wall for everyone to see.



Snoop is a hard person to get on stage, his fee to perform is about $150,000 and his demands are large. Snoop did a performance at Cipriani Wall Street for a UNICEF benefit, he had 10 people from his entourage flown in first class for the event. Once snoop arrived at the venue he flipped out because one of his requests was to have an Xbox in his dressing room but he did not get one, Someone had to run out and get one from their house so Snoop would have something to play with. He did not hit he stage until an hour after he was supposed to because he was to high to make it to the stage. The restaurant claimed they had to put the rapper and his entourage on the third floor otherwise the whole restaurant would have reeked of dope.

Ryan Gosling wanted to focus on his career so he decided to break up with Rachel McAdams. When Gosling hit the red carpet for his new movie "Fracture" the only questions he got were about his relationship, people were not that interested in asking him questions about the film. Ryan brought his mom to the premiere and they were asking her questions abut Ryan's love life as well, all they said is their relationship is definitely over!



Sanjaya finally got booted from "American Idol." I really thought he was going to make it all the way, but the 17 year old can not sing. He was entertaining and was definitely the most talked about contestant on this seasons show but it was definitely time for Sanjaya to leave the show.
