Paris Hilton spent the weekend engaged in her usual erudite
pursuits: She got a spray tan, hung out with on-again arm-candy Stavros
Niarchos, got bad-touched by some foliage and dissed frenemy Lindsay Lohan. On Friday, as the photo op-adoring starlet
waded through a sea of paparazzi on her way to a fake-bake appointment in Los
Angeles, she was asked whether she had any "well-wishes" for LiLo, who
purportedly had her appendix yanked out the day before. Paris' succinct reply
(via X17.com): "No." In addition to treating herself to a healthy faux glow and
not telling Lohan to get well soon, Hilton also reportedly ripped the seat of
her pants on a protruding branch as she leaned over to pick up her keys outside
her Hollywood Hills pad (the ever-vigilant photogs captured the horrific, hole-y
aftermath), and ran out of gas while cruising in her $200,000 Bentley
convertible. "Dude, I've never put gas in this car -- I forgot," she told
photographers as they pushed her to the side of the road (via TMZ.com). As a
kind shutterbug went to fetch her some fuel, Hilton used the free time to flip
through one of her many scrapbooks. According to the New York Post, the craftsy
star paused on a page with a photo featuring her with Stavros and emblazoned
with the caption, "The First Time." Draw your own conclusions. Anyhoo, before
heading on her way, a grateful Paris baby-talked to the gas-providing paparazzo,
"Thank you so much."
In related news, not even surgery can stop Lindsay from making the club
scene. People reports the id-driven, illness-prone starlet hit a Los Angeles
hotspot Friday night, just hours after paparazzi caught her looking surprisingly
mobile as she left Los Angeles' Century Park Hospital.
Sure, Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry have loudly proclaimed their desire to
procreate, but it seems the Oscar winners can't even do a bit of shopping
without stoking stork speculation. First up is Kidman, whom the tabloids have
had on belly watch for pretty much the last two years. The London Daily Mail
says the smooth-foreheaded star, 39, who reunited with rehabbing husband Keith Urban in Australia over the holidays, touched off a
new round of bun-in-the-oven burblings after one of her assistants ordered
nearly $700 worth of newborn items at tony Los Angeles tot boutique Petit
Tresor. "The items were purchased using Nicole Kidman's credit card," a store
snitch inconclusively tells the paper. Berry, 40, meanwhile, only needed to don
an oversized shirt while doing some retail therapy last week in Malibu to prompt
whispers that she may be expecting a bundle of joy with her dewy Canadian
model-beau Gabriel Aubry, reports the New York Daily News. The star's rep
remains mum on the rumors.
Could Britney Spears' bout of fatigue on New Year's Eve cost her
close to a half-million bucks? The New York Daily News says the spiraling, string-free mommy of two's early exit from her
hosting duties at Las Vegas hotspot Pure may have violated her contract and
nullified her purported $400,000 appearance fee. "Britney failed to spend the
agreed amount of time in the club, because she had to be helped out after
collapsing," a "close source" tattles to the paper, adding that Pure is
"furious" that the bygone pop starlet's rep is saying she was just drowsy, as it
may lead people to conclude the club is dullsville. Insiders, however, are quick
to dismiss the lost loot tale to TMZ.com, asserting that the nightclub is
thrilled with the publicity Brit's antics generated. "Britney had a great time,"
a Pure spokeswoman tells the News, adding that Spears pocketed less than
$200,000 for her champagne-fueled work and didn't lose any moolah for calling it
an early night. "We love her and can't wait for her to come back."
"No, I'm not gay." So declares Wentworth Miller to the Australian Associated
Press over speculation about his team-playing preference. And although the "Prison Break" star has no plans for a tasteful tell-all in
People, he says he has no problem with the whispers. "I know these rumors are
out there ... I'm cool with the fact that they exist, I mean this is about
fantasy," maintains Miller. "Certain people are going to have certain fantasies,
if someone wants to imagine me with a woman, or a man or one of each, that's
cool with me as long as you keep watching the show." |
