Ty Ty Demonstrates Diva Behavior

Remember when I told you about the upcoming episode of The Tyra Banks Show, dedicated to celebrating Vogue Italia's "Black Issue" ? Well, I guess the episode is technically titled "Celebrating Black Models, Past, Present and Future." And Ty Ty reportedly acted like a big ol' B during filming. Specifically, she supposedly left the audience waiting for almost TWO HOURS while she "giggled" and "chatted" with the crew backstage.

"You could hear her going on and on because she was standing right behind the stage curtain," said one audience member. "She's talking and talking. Meanwhile, you have the entire audience waiting almost two hours for the taping to start." And our spy said when Banks finally did take her seat onstage, she had a bad attitude.

"She leaves us waiting, and everyone is sitting there complaining, and then she comes out and doesn't say a word about it. She didn't even say hello, she got right into her script," said our source. "She acted so cold towards everyone. She's a phony."[NYP]

I definitely believe the part about her "talking and talking."Although, I cut Ty Ty, 34, a little slack, considering it was such a big day for the show. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if that's how it goes down for the taping of every episode.

Lauren Hutton Wins Award, Babbles Nonsensically

Yeah you need to go sleep. Cause I sure as hell don't know what you've been talking about lately Lauren Hutton.



A sleep deprived Hutton, 64, wins the Beauty Icon Award (huh?) at the Bravo A-List Awards on Wednesday night; talks but doesn't make sense. You want to do what with your trophy?!

Tatum O'Neal Had a Worse Sunday Than You

Oscar winner Tatum O'Neal was arrested in New York City on Sunday for allegedly buying crack cocaine near her home, according to authorities. [People]

"A New York City Police spokesman Det. Martin Speechley confirmed to People that O'Neal, 44, was seen making the illicit purchase at about 7:30 p.m. on Clinton Street (wherever that is). She was arrested and charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor."

"When the police approached, she asked them, 'You know who I am, right?' " one source said.

"Then she said, 'I'm researching a part - I'm doing this for a part as a junkie.' " [NYP]

All of which is why it royally sucked to be Tatum yesterday; and why it still blows (hee) to be her today. The public aftermath part has gotta be a bitch.

Always one to state the obvious.

Consequently, can't a girl buy her crack in peace?

* No wonderers, I have NEVER tried crack.

Whoops I originally spelled O'Neal's name wrong. My bad. Sorry.

Crazy Tyra Banks "NYT" Profile Available Now

[Click to Enlarge if You Dare]

Insane.

The New York Times Magazine Lynn Hirschberg profile on Tyra Banks, 34, hit the Interweb today. Sorry guys I can't bring myself to read it. It's fucking long. I'm talking 8,000 words (i.e. 10 pages) long.

I might have been more inclined to read it, if the lede hadn't been: "Tyra Banks has 275 smiles."

Or if the first Banks quote hadn't been: “Smiles come naturally to me, but I started thinking of them as an art form at my command. I studied all the time. I looked at magazines, I’d practice in front of the mirror and I’d ask photographers about the best angles. I can now pull out a smile at will.”

I get it. You're a teeth baring pro.

Luckily the girls over at Jezebel read it, condensed it and provided their own funny annotation. Doin' what they do.

P.S. I'd say she's smiling with her eyes a little in the picture she's not supposed to. And that Cowardly Lion mane they gave her is freaking distracting.

Word dude.

Today Around the Blogosphere...

Actor Bill Murray's wife, of 10 years, is suing him for divorce and requesting a restraining order.

"Jennifer Butler Murray, 42, is seeking to dissolve her union with Murray, 57, on the grounds of drug addiction, physical abuse, adultery and abandonment, according to a May 12 family-court filing in Charleston County."

Ouch!

"According to Jennifer Murray, the actor's alcohol, marijuana and sex addictions (hey I have those) were among the reasons she felt forced to move to a new home in 2006 with their four young children." [People]

If it makes him feel any better, I like Groundhog Day. That shit's funny, especially when you're drunk, high and about to have sex. Oh.

Now let's leave him alone.

Sharon Stone, 50, apologizes for that stupid shit she said last weekend.

"Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people," Stone says in the statement. "I am willing to take part in the relief work of China's earthquake, and wholly devote myself to helping affected Chinese people." [AP]

FYI: As a result of her gaffe, Christian Dior has dropped Stone from its Chinese ad campaign. [Forbes]

IDIOT!

Working Model (she says she doesn't like to be called super) Naomi Campbell, 38, was finally charged for allegedly assaulting airport officers over misplaced luggage last month.

"After reporting to Heathrow police on Thursday, Campbell was charged on six counts – three for assaulting a constable, two for using threatening, abusive words or behavior toward the cabin crew and one for disorderly conduct – according to the Crown Prosecution Service." [People]

See my previous posting for more details.

Famed Sex and the City stylist, Patricia Field, has designed a line of shoes for Payless. Eww. Her first collection for the discount shoe chain actually came out last winter (I'm glad we all noticed).

“Payless makes a really nice quality,” the designer tells People. “If they made junk, I wouldn’t want to do it, but look at this stitching — it’s gorgeous. This is as good as Manolo.”

Somehow I doubt that.

Have a looksy at what she's pimpin'.



These bad boys sell for 25 bucks.

Lohan & Campbell on the Ugly Betty Season Finale

Lindsay Lohan, 21, is in the Ugly Betty season finale for all of 30-seconds. But fret not, the Betty-Lohan collaboration isn't over. She'll star in at least five more episodes next season.

Somewhere waay deep-down I'm rooting for her to get her shit together.

Here's the clip.



Moving on, supermodel Naomi Campbell's appearance is also brief; but surprisingly and pleasantly funny.

She plays a softball player on team Elle, Mode's rival publication, on and off the field. As Campbell, 38, steps up to bat, she reaches to answer her ringing cell phone. Consequently, both the people in the stands and the ball players dive to evade the possible wrath of her throw. Alas, she behaves herself.

See it with your own eyes.




And while you're at it, peep this cute podcast with Michael Urie, 27, (Marc) and Becki Newton, 29, (Amanda).







Love them!


BTW: Did anyone else notice that tonight's soundtrack featured nothing but Madonna songs?

Sharon Stone Flashes her Cooter in Cannes

Okay this has to be intentional. Who does that?!


FYI: Sharon Stone's vag looks like a chode, aka a short fat dong, in the uncensored photo.

Visit IDLYITW for the pics NSFW.

At least she looks hot in her ads for Dior Christal.

That does not look like a 50-year-old.

Sick Pic of the Day

Amy Winehouse, 24, and Pete Doherty, 29, share an awkward dead-fish-looking goodnight peck at a party thrown at Winehouse's London pad last night.

NO, they were not making out. It was just a friendly thing; nonetheless yucky, EWWWW!

The sad thing is I like Winehouse, The Libertines and (kinda) Babyshambles. Why do they have to be so cracked out?

Denise Richards on the Cover of "Redi"?

Denise Richards is on the cover of some weird magazine called Redi.

What? That's actually the cover of the June issue of Redbook. Should someone tell them to fix that; or ask Richards to kindly move her big head? I feel like I'm watching the weather on the 6 o'clock news.

Anyway, Richards, 37, talks about her new E! reality show in the latest issue of Redbook. She calls it a "no win situation," saying "If I have my kids on my show, I'm exploiting them. If I don't, people will think I'm not a hands on mom – That's why it's very important to me that the girls are part of it."

Wait, you'd rather exploit your kids than have people think you're not a hands on mom?!?!

Seems logical.

If the reality show situation is "no win," why do one?

It's Complicated, aka The Denise Richards reality show, debuts May 26 on E!.

Update: Ok so I saw this magazine in person, and you can actually see the "B" in Redbook.

Amy Winehouse On Set For a Geico Commerical

I don't know what else to say. I can't keep up with this girl.

Oh yeah, I don't get how people are acting all shocked about Wino's bald spot.


Come on guys, you know that shit didn't surprise you. She usually wears a giant, ratty, beehive on her head.

Just be glad she was wearing shoes ballet slippers.

The Best Thing About Tom Cruise's Celebration on "The Oprah Winfrey Show"...

Jada Pinkett-Smith's Davy Crockett wig.

Talk about an underwhelming two parter. Thanks for not telling us anything new, Tom Cruise.

BTW: Is this comparison too offensive? I want to make you laugh, not hate me.

Paula Abdul: Don't Make it So Easy

Paula judging Jason Castro



Paula judging David Archuleta. It's about 1:50 into the clip.




It was Neil Diamond night on American Idol. Each of the five remaining contestants performed two of his songs.

And, wannabe apothecary, Paula Abdul was in loopy form.

First she told Jason Castro that she loved hearing his lower register during his first performance because she rarely gets to hear it. Then she proceeded to tell him that his second song "was lacking in charm" and left her a "little empty"(no Paula that was the prescription drug cocktail you gobbled down before taping*)

She continued:

"The two songs make me feel like you're not fighting hard enough to, to get into the top four."

It was one of her more coherent judging moments this season. The problem was, Castro had only performed, count em', ONE song. Yeah the chuckles from the audience were audible.

Seriously. That's gotta be embarrassing.

Abdul looked confused when Randy Jackson chimed in that was "just for the first song." To which Abdul responded, "Oh my god! I thought you sang twice!" That Castro's a memorable one. Then she backpedalled and said that she accidentally read her comments for David Cook. But the damage had already been done. And consequently it makes me ask: "is the judging rigged or something?"

I know reading your own notes can sometimes be a chore. But dayum!

It still gets better though. The highlight of the show--for me-- occurred, during judging, after David Archuleta performed his second song, "America."

That's when Abdul said, "This was the absolute perfect song for you to sing. David your voice is so on point. I just want to see that joy and that spirit and the prodigy and that little savant that used to..." [Now this where transcribing her monologue gets tricky. She either slurs after that, or says 'sail.' That little savant that used to sail? ]

So you're saying he's like a maritime Rain Man? Niiice. Being able to accurately count a large number toothpicks with your eyes is, however, a useful talent.

*FYI: I have no proof that Abdul "gobbled down a prescription drug cocktail before taping." And truthfully, I love Paula. She's funny!

Perez Hilton Stole From Me!!!

Wow! At least I give people credit when I steal from them. Perez Hilton stole my Amy Winehouse and Sam "The World's Ugliest Dog" comparison. And he didn't give me attribution. Big surprise! I'm not sourcing him anymore.

Here's what I posted on April 19, 2008.

"Look-a-Likes of the Day"

"Damn it I wish she'd stuck with the missing tooth look!

Pictured: Amy Winehouse seen leaving a club Saturday night in London. And Sam, the purebred Chinese Crested Hairless, who held the title of "World's Ugliest Dog" for three consecutive years; until his demise in November 2005."



And here's what he posted today:

"Separated at Birth"



"Left: Amy Winehouse. Right: Sam, the world's ugliest dog. R.I.P."

I'm not providing a link to his site.

Obviously I have no basis for a lawsuit (I wish you could sue people for being douchey), but someone should sue him. Oh...wait. Good luck with that!

Do you think he coincidentally came up with this on his own?

Amy Winehouse Arrested!

As I mentioned yesterday, Amy Winehouse allegedly attacked two people earlier this week!

Well now she's been arrested--as of early this morning-- on suspicion of assault. She supposedly punched one guy. And headbutted another, who was trying to help her hail a cab.

The P says Wino, who is being held at Holborn Police Station in London, should be out by Saturday. Apparently you can attack people and spend about just one day in jail. Quick some one go tell Wesley Snipes.

The crazed singer voluntarily surrendered to police for questioning before she was detained.

Tom Cruise Set to Return to Oprah

Just what the world needs...

Rumor has it, Tom Cruise will film his return to The Oprah Winfrey Show next Friday, from his home in Colorado. The episode is expected to air Monday, May 5--strategically timed for sweeps. It will be Cruise's first guest appearance since he went all ape-shit and proclaimed his love for Katie Holmes in June 2005. You might have heard about it.

Let the couch jumping commence.

Info. via Just Jared.

Update: The first Oprah episode featuring Tom Cruise will air Friday May 2. He'll be coming at her from his Colorado crib. Cruise is doing yet another episode on May 5 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Risky Business. I've read, during the first episode, Oprah will grill Cruise on Scientology, Katie Holmes and the like.

Hopefully that info. is accurate. I'm pretty sure it is.

Update: All right it's accurate now.

Why You Can't Have Your Cake and Eat Too

[Click to Enlarge]
Until I saw these pictures, I always thought that phrase was nonsensical and stupid. Now I stand corrected. Having cake and eating it, is actually too much for some people.

Hey, at least I can admit when I'm wrong.

Jessica Simpson threw her boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo, a party for his 28th birthday Saturday night, at Suite, a lounge in Dallas.

During the festivities the two, um, shared cake. And made all the other party-goers loathe the invention of frosting. Especially the blue kind.

Case in point: this guy in the background. He's going to his safe place.
Images and info. via US Weekly.



FYI: Turns out the more logical--although less commonly used--version of this saying (i.e. the one that actually makes sense) is "You can't eat your cake and have it too," meaning if you eat your cake you won't have it anymore. I've just had an epiphany.
Also, I feel stupid.

I'm banking on there not being a hell for me to go to.



*On the, very, off-chance Winehouse sees this, don't worry this is a particularly bad picture of you. You don't usually look like Sam, the former "World's Ugliest Dog." And any similarities you guys do share is probably due the havoc wreaked by drugs. You can fix that.

Two Things That Shouldn't Go Hand in Hand

Shots and Babies. Easy there Amy Winehouse.


Those Jell-O shots'll creep up on you.

I wouldn't want you to wind up roaming the streets of London at night, partaking in barbarous acts. Oh...wait.
