Celebrity gossip juicy celebrity rumors Hollywood gossip blog from Perez Hilton � Blog Archive � Tommy Lee Jones vs. Paramount
Al Gore's former college roommate wants his $10 million. Now!
Actor Tommy Lee Jones has sued all the suits associated with the acclaimed film No Country for Old Men, including its studio, Paramount Pictures.
He claims that they've failed to pay him more than $10 million he is owed, according to his contract.
Legal paperwork filed said that in exchange for acting in the film and providing 'additional related services' for the movie's promotion the moviemakers agreed to pay Jones a fixed 'up-front' fee and, depending upon the film's financial success, 'significant box-office bonuses and 'back-end' compensation.'
The movie earned lots of Oscar nominations so we're assuming that means it made a nice chunk of money!
Good luck, Tommy! We hope you get lots of money out of the big bad media moguls!"

MTV Buzzworthy Blog Behind-The-Scenes Celebrity Spottings! Buzzworthy Goes Backstage At The 2008 VMAs
It’s now 1:57a.m. ET, and back in the Crosby building at Paramount, Jim Cantiello, Tamar Anitai and Shaheem Reid (Jennifer Vineyard and James Montgomery are running around somewhere) are a more than a little blogged out. Some of us are out at after parties, some of us are pulling together must-see videos and photos we shot - kamikaze style! - of celebrities pouring into the back lot after the show. Stay
We’ve said it before, and we’re saying it again: Spotting celebrities at the VMAs is like shooting fish in a damn barrel. From red-carpet arrivals to backstage buzz, we’ll be live blogging the movie magic and surprises behind every set and all of our 2008 Hollywood VMA star sightings all night. Keep checking this post!
11:28 p.m. ET — Chris Brown went to the spot where he was supposed to meet Rihanna … and found Jamie Foxx instead. And a minute after that, McLovin (a.k.a. Christopher Mintz-Plasse). “Good to meet you,” the “Superbad” actor told him.
11:25 p.m. ET — The Pussycat Dolls almost lost a member as they got into their tram. “Please don’t leave without me!” Nicole Scherzinger cried while holding the train of her dress up to run to them.
11:23 p.m. ET — Tokio Hotel and the Pussycat Dolls just hugged it out. Bill gave Nicole Scherzinger the two-cheek kiss and then went off to find a drink. Meanwhile, Angela and Vanessa Simmons sought out a bathroom, and T.I. tried to find a polite way to turn away an extremely annoying reporter who was trying to hop aboard his golf cart.
11:20 p.m. ET — Rihanna and Chris Brown are going their separate ways — but only for 10 minutes. “You go do your thing, and you meet me right here,” she tells him.
11:15 p.m. ET — Paris is the rare multitasker who can type on a BlackBerry and smoke a cigarette at the same time.
11:08 p.m. ET — After his performance, Kid Rock walks out and says, “I feel like an old man. I’ve been doing this for 10, 15 years.” Being able to remember exact dates is the first thing to go, Kid.
11:01 p.m. ET — Apl from the Black Eyed Peas nearly ran me over in his golf cart. My fault, really. “Beep beep!” he jokes as he pulls away.
tuned…Celebrity parade raises $60,000
BRENT Staker, David Wirrpanda and Miss Universe Australia Laura Dundovic were among guest models at the Perth Fashion Festival's Telethon celebrity parade.
About $60,000 was raised for Telethon - half of which came from business baron Pankaj Oswal's generous bid for the dress his wife Radhika modelled.
MCs Basil Zempilas and Tina Altieri welcomed the crowd, which included Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffiti, culture and arts leaders, Perth Fashion Festival director Tony Sage and Damian Wollnough of Vogue. Ambassador Annmarie Carpenter was otherwise engaged at Labor's election headquarters.
More Perth Fashion Festival news
Whether it was the election or not, the atmosphere was more low-key than previous festival events, with dresses and heels more conservative.
Local Amy Winehouse tribute act Amy Housewine kicked off the night's entertainment. The comedienne with a voice to boot made a spectacle of herself up and down the catwalk, sipping from A-listers' glasses while stumbling about.
Celeb model Rachel Grasso began the official parade in a Lisa Ho swimsuit, accessorised with an oversized hat and shades.
Among the guest models were Adrian Barich of Channel 7, AFL players Brent Staker and David Wirrpanda, socialite Bree Maddox, Miss Universe Australia Laura Dundovic, Zoe Naylor of Gladiators fame and billionairess Radhika Oswal.
The celebs wore clothes from Carillon City, Claremont Arcade, The Mezz, The Park Centre and The Colonnade. As each celeb stepped out, images of themselves as children were projected on long pieces of sheer white fabric bordering the stage, in keeping with the theme of supporting the youth of WA.
Highlights included Patti Chong in a gorgeous black chiffon overlay evening gown by George from More!, bravely shuffling down the runway and Zoe Naylor, post-strut being swept off her feet and carried off stage by Gladiator Hunter.

Celebrity Fashion Week
The stars descended on New York Fashion Week on Sunday, with Olympian Dara Torres hitting the catwalk, Justin Timberlake putting on a runway show and the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Uma Thurman lining the front rows.
The high wattage came on a day of birthday parties for DKNY and Calvin Klein, which was celebrating 40 years in business with a star-studded party Sunday night.
For his William Rast collection, Timberlake treated a roster of A-list celebrities and Vogue editor Anna Wintour to buckets of Budweiser and a collection inspired by the back woods of Tennessee.

Torres strutted the runway holding her 2-year-old daughter Tessa at the Charles Nolan show, wearing an indigo and white-striped silk jersey tank with navy swim shorts.
Backstage, she confessed that she worried about stumbling on the runway like Carrie Bradshaw did in "Sex and the City." But the 41-year-old silver medalist kept up with the 20-somethings: "There was a girl (modeling) who said that she was really nervous and I said, `Swimming in the Olympics is much more nerve-wracking!'"
Lopez, Thurman, Eva Longoria and Venus Williams were at Diane von Furstenberg's spring preview, while Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci were both in the front row for Donna Karan's 20th anniversary collection.
Celebrity healer to the stars sued by patient
A healer whose clients include the Duchess of Cornwall and Geri Halliwell faces a High Court lawsuit from a former patient who claims treatments led to him having both legs amputated.
Mosaraf Ali has built up an enviable client list treating a range of conditions with alternative therapies including yoga, relaxation and massage.
He is credited with having helped Camilla stop smoking and socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson cure her cocaine habit. He also advised Miss Halliwell on weight loss.

Westlife singer Kian Egan and his bride-to-be
Westlife singer Kian Egan and his bride-to-be, former Hollyoaks star Jodi Albert have revealed that the location of their upcoming wedding has now been confirmed.
Remaining tight lipped as to the name of the venue, the young couple told the Herald that they have found the perfect place to stage their €1 million nuptials.
Speaking to the Irish newspaper, Kian, 28, gushed: 'I can't wait to be Jodi's husband, for her to be my wife and to have children and an amazing family life together. Jodi is incredible, there will never be anyone else.'
Kian proposed to the 25-year-old actress on Christmas Eve, after over four years together.
The pair are set to tie the knot next year, in what is expected to be a lavish celebrity event, attended by many of the couple's famous friends.
Commenting on their plans for the big day, Jodi previously said: 'The wedding reflects exactly who me and Kian are as a couple. It's our vibe. It's brilliant and I can't wait for it. It's come around so fast"

GOP Celebrity List Short, but Committed to Cause - America’s Election HQ
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Celebrity sightings are few and far between but some of the recognizable stars like Kelsey Grammar, Jon Voight, Stephen Baldwin, Pat Boone, Ben Stein and Elizabeth Hasselbeck were among the B-listers and below swarmed by Republican convention-goers this week.
Among the performers who offered their services to the convention were Latin recording artist and Reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee and country singers Cowboy Troy, John Rich and Gretchen Wilson.
Though the election is still two months away, it’s pretty clear which candidate has secured the Hollywood superstar vote.
Last week’s Democratic convention in Denver was lined with A-list stars, including Steven Spielberg, Muhammad Ali, Kanye West, Ben Affleck, Jaimie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez. Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow, John Legend and will.i.am headlined a concert on the convention’s last day.
“You have to play the hand you’re dealt,” said Jonathan Wilcox, an adjunct professor at USC Annenberg School for Communication, who is an expert on politics and celebrity culture. “Maybe the Republicans would like to throw in three of their celebrities and get three more from the deck.”

Celebrity obsession never ends
Did Gordon Brown read the zeitgeist right last year when he declared that Britain had fallen out of love with cheap celebrity? The latest series of Big Brother, which comes to its firework-exploding finale tonight, has not scaled the giddy heights of publicity and viewer figures it once had. Ladbrokes, the bookmaker, has slashed its odds on the show being pulled before 2010 when Channel 4’s contract with Endemol, the production company behind the programme, ends. The axing of the series in Australia prompted media commentators to predict its death here, too. Sales of the celebrity magazines, Heat, Closer and Reveal, have fallen. So perhaps our love affair is, as he said, over."
Celebrity watch: Billie Piper, David Blaine, Kate Middleton and Carla Bruni - Times Online
The lighter the entertainment, the darker the machinations behind the scenes, Celebrity Watch has always averred. And GMTV is no exception.
Last week Fiona Phillips, the anchor-presenter, resigned - immediately sparking a media freak-out over who will replace her. The PR machines of Kate Garraway, Kate Silverton and Ulrika Jonsson have all whirred into action, with a series of briefs (“Jonsson is in advanced talks!”) and counter-briefs (“Garraway will be passed over, and forced to resign! And she's fat!”), to the sorrow and disappointment of the outgoing Phillips.
“The press make out that all the women are at each other's throats - but they'd never say that about [male presenters],” Phillips commented, tuttingly - before sticking the boot into Kate Garraway (“I don't go to the opening of an envelope”).
CW takes into account Phillips's comments. It really does. But come on! It's a �1 million contract! Let's face it - Garraway, Silverton and Jonsson are going at each other like fighting cocks, pulling extensions, gouging eyes and repeatedly punching each other in the ovaries and screaming: “Do you want to hand over to the news in your area now? DO YOU? Because the news is YOU'RE OVAH!”

But is it worth it? Phillips resigned because, by all accounts, GMTV warped her into a pastel-jacketed Colonel Kurtz. I've been a madwoman - but it's just the tiredness,” Phillips has said. “It makes me see the dark side of everything.”
Given this information, the job does rather make a poisoned chalice look like a nice cup of tea. Garraway! Jonsson! Silverton! Hang in there for Countdown instead.
UP David Blaine
The American magician who has made a career out of performing undeniably amazing feats (entombment in ice, 40-day fasts) - albeit in an inexplicably annoying way - is to return. He is to undertake another fast - but this time he will be hung, upside down, “like a bat”, over Central Park. Perhaps DC Comics will be inspired by this event to create a new character: a maverick loner, with superhuman powers, who makes the world a better place by inverting himself, displaying quasi-anorexic behaviour and wearing eyeliner.
UP Billie Piper
The ever-razzy Piper returns this week, in ITV2's Secret Diary of a Call Girl. As before, she plays a well-dressed metropolitan woman who is into a) shoes, and b) being a prostitute. Alas, Piper's pregnancy made shooting the series problematic. “I just wanted to sit on my bum and stuff my face,” Piper revealed. Had she engaged in such activities the other way round, of course, it could have been a whole new episode.
DOWN Sienna Miller
Miller has had another bad week. Someone has written “SLUT” on her house - and in a bad way. Meanwhile, the woman who runs siennamilleronline has shut the site, saying: “Recent events ... have heightened my lack of interest.” Miller has let it be known to friends that, these days, “a private yacht” is the only place she feels safe. Sienna! Private yachts are stuffed with yet more celebrities and millionaires whom you might accidentally fall in love with! Get the bus!
DOWN Kate Middleton
“Wait-y Kate-y” is not the work-shy Sloane that the press have been painting her as. For the past six months, Hello! magazine has revealed, Middleton actually has been employed - working from home, for the company owned by her parents. CW doesn't mean to cast aspersions - it really doesn't - but “working from home” (dossing about, watching Under The Hammer), “for Mum and Dad” (being paid “super pocket money” simply for being alive) = three hours a week, tops.
DOWN Solange Knowles
Solange, sister of Beyoncé, is trying to make a name for herself a) in the world of pop, and b) out of a better rack of letters in Scrabble. As you can see, Solange has found herself a pair of shoes so extraordinary that they make a medieval court jester's footwear look like a smart pair of brown lace-ups. Thus far, the “fashion world” has not attempted to describe these items. This is because the most accurate summation of them is “a pair of luxuriant monkey bums”, and only CW has the courage to say it like it is.
UP Matthew McConaughey
In 1999, when the police busted Matthew McConaughey, they found him naked, stoned and playing the bongos. Amazingly, it turns out that Matthew's actually the dull, accountancy-material McConaughey. In her just-published autobiography, I Amaze Myself, the actor's mother reveals that McConaughey's father died while they were having sex and that, when the paramedics carried his corpse from the house, naked, the new widow was “proud” that all the neighbours saw “Jim McConaughey's big gift”. This woman has one hell of a “bright-side” facility.
UP Carla Bruni
The appearance of France's first lady on Later ... with Jools Holland has provoked the wrath of the NME. “It's disgusting,” it declared. “Rock'n'roll is supposed to be anti-authoritarian.” To recap: Bruni-Sarkozy's family moved to France from Italy after kidnap threats made by the Red Brigade. The teenage Bruni studied art and architecture, modelled nude and shagged Eric Clapton and Mick Jagger. Then she married the French President, and released an album in which she a) compared her husband's love to heroin, and b) admitted that she cannot be faithful - before giving all the royalties to humanitarian causes. CW suggests that this all puts the paradigm-busting activity of, say, the Pigeon Detectives into some perspective.
UP Selina Scott
Kicking patriarchy ass since 1984, Scott is engaged in suing Channel Five, on the ground of age discrimination. CW says: Go Selina! Kick the butt of The Man! This, however, isn't CW's main interest, vis-à-vis Scott. For the ensuing brouhaha has revealed that, for the past ten years, Scott has run a business selling socks made of goat mohair. That's mohair (spiky) made of goat (rancid). To sell - profitably - the hair of the goat for the foot of the man is an extraordinary feat. If we were Five, we would be terrified.
DOWN Pamela Anderson
Anderson has apparently asked Hugh Hefner: “If anything goes wrong, I can come and live [at the Playboy mansion], can't I?” CW doesn't know quite what level of “wrong” Anderson is contemplating. This is, after all, a single mother with hepatitis C who had her honeymoon sex video stolen, then flogged to the internet. But the idea of a woman spending her Golden Girls years in an LA mansion surrounded by naked, trampolining 17-year-olds while the Albert Steptoe of soft porn heavy-breathes into his dressing-gown, sounds a fairly maudlin fate to us, all told. Surely even presenting GMTV would be preferable?
The latest celebrity fad? Politicians! | Newsweek Politics: Conventions | Newsweek.com
Barack Obama seemed to be the biggest celebrity in the world—until Sarah Palin came along. If you've got any doubt, just look at the covers of this week's top celebrity tabloids. Us Weekly has Palin cradling her 5-month-old newborn Trig, with the tawdry headline BABIES, LIES AND SCANDAL. OK Magazine has almost the exact same photo, with the more sympathetic angle: A MOTHER'S PAINFUL CHOICE. And Palin gave her first exclusive interview to People magazine, which reports on 'Sarah Palin's Family Drama,' including the pregnancy of her 17-year-old daughter Bristol. The way in which all these magazines are covering Palin, you'd think she was related to Britney Spears, not possibly the next vice president of the United States. But that's exactly the point."
Big Brother stole my life - Times Online
Bart Spring in't Veld comes to meet me at Schipol airport, Amersterdam - “I have shit all to do,” he explains. Nobody recognises him as we weave through the crowded concourse towards the station. He attracts no attention as we take the train to the town of Hilversum, near where he lives. He sits undisturbed in the Papillon coffee house, smoking a spliff while we talk. The only flicker of recognition comes from the waiter in the caf�where we go for lunch, but even he cannot quite place this articulate, good-looking Dutchman with his unshaven face and ragged old T-shirt.
This is astonishing. When I last saw Bart in February 2000 he was the most famous man in the Netherlands, mobbed wherever he went. He had just become the first winner of a revolutionary new television show called Big Brother, and his on-screen romance with a beautiful housemate - consummated in front of three million viewers - had saved the programme from dying in infancy.

The Press Association: Jordan show criticised for swearing
"Jordan and Peter Andre's fly-on-the-wall documentary has been criticised by broadcasting watchdog Ofcom.
The regulator investigated after receiving a complaint about repeated swearing on the ITV reality show.
Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter was broadcast at 8pm, before the watershed, in June.
A viewer complained about offensive language on the show.
ITV admitted that the programme 'contained strong language... which was inappropriate for the time of transmission' and apologised for offending viewers.
It said the wrong version of the episode was transmitted on ITV2 on June 3 because of human error, and disciplinary action had been taken as a result. It was now reviewing its internal structures to ensure the mistake did not occur again.
Ofcom said the programme contained 'excessive offensive language in general' and deemed it in breach of the broadcasting code.
It said: 'This material was entirely unsuitable for a pre-watershed programme and this was a serious error."

Lowe has asserted that he did not know that the second girl was underage, and it was confirmed that the two had met at a bar. Lowe's career was damaged by the scandal, and he later entered a rehabilitation clinic for alcohol and sex addiction / Reuters"
