Art imitates life for Larry David.

Larry David underwent a divorce from his wife recently in his real life. Only the comic genius of David would have his character on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" have his wife leave him mere months later. The episode was an instant classic. Tivo, no fly underwear, Larry's large testicles and.....a date with Lucy Lawless! Pure TV gold! HBO

It's not easy being Leann Rimes.


She caught a cold shooting a video? The pain! The horror!
People: It's not easy being sexy, but someone's gotta do it. And it was country singer LeAnn Rimes's job to sacrifice her own health to get a music video shot with Jon Bon Jovi. "We stayed up to 6 a.m. I was in a nightie in the middle of the street. It was freezing," she tells PEOPLE at Redbook Heroes: The Strength & Spirit Awards in New York Monday night. "I got a little bit of a cold from it."

Ex-Britney Spears employees organize to urge fans to boycott her CD.

They have my full support. Have I ever bought a Britney CD? No. And I will continue my lifelong boycott. Power to the people!
Entertainmentwise:
A group of displeased former employees of Britney Spears have joined forces and urged fans to boycott her latest album “until she’s better.”A bodyguard, a dancer and a make-up artist, who once worked for the 25-year-old, have created the Be Proactive To Help website, which tells fans to embargo her upcoming Blackout album - until she recovers from her downward spiral.The website reads: “This is just an idea, a suggestion, that may be exactly what Britney needs. As we can all see things aren’t going great for her and there have been many attempts by many people to help in any way they see necessary. It’s not working.
”Let’s show Britney how much we love her and support her by NOT BUYING HER ALBUM…for now."A spokesman for the site also echoed these sentiments in a statement released to the press: "Our message is simple - don't buy her stuff until she's better."The site also offers ideas about how fans can get their message to Spears by imploring her record label bosses and writing to her management.

Marisa Tomei proud of doggie style bedroom scene.

Got your attention huh? Me too. And then I read that the scene is with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I may have nightmares picturing this. Anyone seen my nightlight?....
Star Pulse:
Oscar winner Marisa Tomei is begging her parents to stay away from her new movie Before The Devil Knows You're Dead - because it features a doggie-style sex scene with co-star Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The actress insists the scene was very carefully and sensitively shot by director Sidney Lumet, but it's still likely to shock her family.
She says, "I'm grown up now, so I guess it'll really hit home. I spoke to mom about it the other day and I said, 'I don't know if you really want to come to this or if you want to see it.' I'd rather you didn't. She said, 'We heard already, we know about it.'"
Tomei admits she was initially worried about performing a graphic sex scene - but Lumet was a "class act."
She adds, "Having the Sidney factor balances it out; he's a mensch. I felt even more comfortable than I did just acting fully clothed. I seem to tap into these kinds of women, the ones you call 'slut'."

Gioia and Paula Abdul to meet in Hollywood?


Meow! A little bird tells me that Gioia's people are reaching out to Paula Abdul's people to arrange a meeting between the two. Gioia has been campaigning hard for a seat on American Idol and it seems that she wants to make nice with Paula and tell her face to face the truth behind the rumors. My birdy tells me that Paula hasn't been happy with all the Gioia/Idol talk & has placed "orders" to kill the story. Hmmmmmm. Let's see what happens when the two possibly meet in Hollywood next month. The two have a history together as they were both represented by the same publicist when the pair were both at Arista records. Is there room for Gioia on American Idol? Stay tuned!..............

Barak Obama gossips with Kate Walsh about her new show.


Barak watches TV dramas? Cool, but I'm still voting for Hilary....
US:
Barack Obama may be out campaigning for president, but he’s not completely out of the pop culture loop.
When he spotted Kate Walsh at his October 20 fundraiser in Hancock Park, California, he couldn’t help but make his way over to the actress, 40, to dish about her new ABC megahit Private Practice.
“So great to see you!” Obama, 46, gushed. “How's the new show?”
“It's going really well,” replied Walsh, who was there with her husband of nearly two months, film producer Alex Young.
So what’s his prognosis on the show? “I'm always out campaigning — I haven't been able to watch it so I can't give you a review,” he admitted, “but I’m sure it’s great.”
Obama will have plenty of opportunities to check out the series: It was recently renewed for a second season.

Alicia Keys opens up about lesbian rumors.

She played a lesbian in "Smokin' Aces". That probably didn't help matters....
Entertainmentwise:
RnB superstar Alicia Keys can understand why she was labelled a lesbian at the beginning of her career - because she was "rough around the ages".
The singer's sexuality has the subject of much speculation ever since the release of her 2001 debut album Songs In A Minor. Although Keys rubbishes the gay rumours, she admits her appearance and attitude may have led people to draw their own conclusions.
She says, "I was definitely rough around the edges. I look back at certain interviews and I'm like, 'Damn! Did I have to look that hard? Did I have to do my hair that way?'
"I could see why people couldn't see the diamond in the rough. I didn't take it to heart. I know what I am. I know it's not true."

Gioia and Pam Anderson talk to each other about screwing Chris Amerouso in the back of a car!




Expose singer Gioia recently ran into Pam Anderson-Saloman at the Valet Station at the Wynn Hotel in Vegas. Gioia and Pam said "hi" to one another and reacquainted themselves. Gioia and Pam have a lover in common - celebrity photographer Chris Amerouso. Gioia told Pam "By the way Pam, did you know that we both have Chris Amerouso in common?" Pam responded "Huh?" "Yeah, we both screwed him in the back of a car!" Gioia shot back and laughed. Pam was shocked and could only say, "Oh really?" Pam said her goodbye to Gioia and quickly jumped into her awaiting car!

Reese Witherspoon linked to James Blunt.


There are maybe 12 people in Hollywood that HAVEN'T been linked to one or the other of this pair....
Exposay:
Reese Witherspoon has reportedly fallen for British singer James Blunt.
The Oscar-winning actress and the 'You're Beautiful' singer immediately hit it off when they met after his show at Los Angeles' El Rey Theatre last month.
A source revealed: "Reese arrived with three female friends and headed straight for the bar. They sat at a private VIP table and drank white wine.
They looked like they were having a great time.
"She looked relaxed and happy, and when James finished his set and walked into the bar, Reese practically ran to him.
"Reese was laughing and smiling. They seemed to have great chemistry.
"She was saying how much she loved his music and making it obvious that she was really into him. They clearly shared a connection."
The 31-year-old 'Walk the Line' star recently finalised her divorce from Ryan Phillippe, with who she has two children, eight-year-old daughter Ava and three-year-old son Deacon.
Reese was most recently romantically linked to her 'Rendition' co-star Jake Gyllenhaal but the pair are said to have split.
James, 33, has been linked to a string of women including supermodel Petra Nemcova, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and British socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
He was recently seen dining with Kate Bosworth at Los Angeles' Il Sole restaurant, sparking rumours she had split from English model James Rousseau.
