Jesse James and Kat Von D Are Practically “Facebook Official”

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Kat von D photos

One would think that this picture of Jesse James arriving at the Lamoreaux Justice Center to hear a ruling on his visitation rights over his six year old daughter Sunny would suggest that he has a few things he should be focusing on. Instead though, it seems that his social life is once again taking priority. Not that we really care which tattooist he is dating now, but they seem to think it’s important enough that we all harp on this as often as possible. So here we go. Kat von D may lose some respect points for some of you, but she doesn’t care, she\’s happy to report that not only is she happily dating Jesse James, but she thinks he’s handling everything (put down your coffee mug now)….“admirably”. And who says reality stars are delusional? She told KROQ Radio:

“I’ve known Jesse since I was 22 actually. We’ve always been friends, you know? And even when all that negative stuff went down and stuff, I stay out of all that drama. Going out, people were always asking what I thought about this and that. And I think it’s none of my business and it’s none of anyone’s business really.”

The official status of their relationship is confirmed, after Jesse and Kat were spotted on a date together in Vegas last weekend, where they split a meal and then left the restaurant hand-in-hand. They then drove back to Jesse’s room for “dessert”. Kat’s rep clumsily tried to deny they were together, explaining that Kat holds hands with all her friends, but the star of reality show L.A. Ink came clean on her own, tweeting, “yes, Jesse and I are dating.” And no, their relationship isn’t built on their mutual interest in body art involving topless ladies riding dragons. “I think that I’m his type on a different level than people would assume,” she said on the show. “Just because I have tattoos doesn’t mean we’re the perfect match.” Too true. But seriously, it’s the tattoos, isn’t it?

Tara Reid Prepares Again to Say I Do (love your money after all)

Tara Reid Engaged

Oh if only the walls in St. Tropez could talk, as more celebs have changed their lives on a whim with a little trip down to Spain’s hottest location where all the stars love to shine in the summer. And Tara Reid is no exception, but after a broken engagement to a multi kozillionairre we wondered how she could afford it. Well, yes it is true, EVEN after calling off her engagement last spring, Tara Reid will make you believe in love with a multi-millionaire again. My heart died when Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins split up, but maybe it’s not too late to defibrillate it back to life, because Tara Reid and her ex-fiance Michael Axtmann are back at least on vacationing terms. They were snapped on the beach in St. Tropez, France. Slightly more interesting than that: Tara wears heels on the beach. Such an intriguingly mysterious woman. Tara, who starred in American Pie as well as the past decade of Us Weekly, and Mike, an internet baron, called off their engagement in April after four months. Why they called it off remains as mysterious as what happened with Tara’s botched lypo, but obviously it was nothing that an expensive vacation to splashy St. Tropez couldn’t fix. And of course….Paris Hilton is also on vacation on the island. I know that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re hanging out. Just because they’re both celebrities doesn’t mean they, like, call each other. But I just figure Tara likes to drink, and Paris has been getting sprayed with a lot of champagne. If Tara wrings stale champagne out of Paris’s hair and into her mouth, would you like her more or less? I’m thinking more.

Ah, and Now Mel Gibson is Bickering About Child Support

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Mel Gibson

This is going to bound to happen when you are a big fat cheater, one of the world’s sexiest men, and have just finished a high profile divorce suit which is immediately followed by a high profile custody suit with an entirely different woman. You kind of want to say well, you made your bed…or beds…and soo…..Oksana Grigorieva, ex-girlfriend to Mel Gibson and the aforementioned “entirely different woman” is spotted here, making a visit to her lawyer’s office in Century City. And it would be one of many issues that she would be discussing on this particular day, but if you go by recent headlines, she probably has a few bones to pick about child support. Child support that even if some single moms in America had HALF the zeroes that Mel has been ordered to pay should be so lucky. But he is complaining about…*sigh* well everything it seems. But apparently Oksana has a few beefs of her own.Mel Gibson reportedly spends $600,000 a month on ”living expenses” – but only wants to pay $6,000 a month in child support for his nine-month-old daughter Lucia. Lawyers for the ‘Braveheart’ actor are said to have told a judge overseeing his bitter custody battle with former lover Oksana Grigorieva – the mother of his nine-month-old daughter Lucia – that the 54-year-old star spends a staggering $7.2 million a year on himself but he does not want to increase payments for his daughter. Mel’s lawyers insist some of Oksana’s requests – such as he pays for bodyguards – are unnecessary as Lucia is still just a baby. In contrast, they argue the money he spends on himself is necessary for his living expenses and doesn’t include luxuries such as his private jet. The infamous audio tapes may even be used against him, or for him, depending on what happens with this. One that is constantly being referred to is the following:

“I don’t have any f** king money! I have to support you and everybody else! I have to sell paintings. I have to sell my box at the Lakers game.”

After Mel and Robyn ended their 28-year marriage, the former dental nurse was legally entitled to half her former spouse’s fortune as they had not signed a pre-nuptial agreement. This may or may not be part of the $7.2 mill that he is spending monthly. But $6 K in child support? Are we supposed to feel for him?

The Beckham Family is Pinching Pennies

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Victoria Beckham

And no matter where she goes, here is a woman that has ensured she is utterly infamous for looking like a million bucks. Victoria Beckham was spotted in New York City recently looking just that in a sparkly sheer top, cuffed blazer, and perfectly elegant pumps. And despite the fact that she and hubby love pronouncing to the world, through all their bling and Birken stash, just how rich they are, it sounds like the Beckhams have been making some “budget pinches”. So what does it look like when multi-millionairres pinch pennies? Hardly something to sympathize over. They started by axing 14 of their full time staff between their homes in England, Dubai, France, and Los Angeles, all in a bid to save some coin. They say their financial advisors made ‘em do it. The couple – who are worth an estimated £115 million, that’s over a couple hundred million for us lowly Americans, were reportedly advised by financial experts to get rid of a third of the employees who work in their homes in England, Los Angeles, Dubai and France because they were “wasting” money. Our good friend “Close Source” told The Sun newspaper:

“This very no-nonsense accountant gave it to Victoria straight and said, ‘You can afford to employ all of these people. But why the hell do you?’ David and Victoria are multi-millionaires, but that doesn’t mean they have to waste money – and they were hemorrhaging it.”

Among those employed by the couple – who have sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, seven, and four-year-old Cruz – around the world are personal assistants, chefs, cleaners, gardeners, builders, nannies, and property agents. Those who have been cut include a cleaner at the couple’s home in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, East England, who had worked for the pair for eight years. The chief gardener at the estate has been asked to also work as a driver, to save on chauffeur bills. Six other gardeners have also been axed from the couple’s home in Bargemon, France. The source added: “Once the accountant pointed out that level of staffing was not required Victoria pushed the button. There has been a large downsize.” Wow. 6 gardeners in France. That’s gotta hurt. You gotta wonder what those grounds look like, no?

Sandra Bullock Has Better Things To Take Back Than Jesse James

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Sandra Bullock Photos

Here is a photo that kind of slipped under the radar at the time, because by all looks and counts to US, Jesse James and Sandra Bullock were a happy couple when this shot was taken during award season, and shortly before “the big win”…promptly followed by…”the big dump”. But by the looks of this shot, Sandra had wind of things long before we did, as she was seen leaving her beach home with Jesse James looking more than a little glum. Flash forward to present day, and this same beach house is now up for sale to the tune of six million dollars. And by the sounds of it, things are going to stay finito for this pair, with divorce being worked out as we speak. Despite Jesse’s begging, it sounds like Sandra has better things to take back than her cheating ex husband to be. Like the car, the couch, the place settings, the crystal, the Oprah-brand gold toilet seat…It would seem beautiful Oscar-winning actresses with killer senses of humour don’t have to settle for cheating bikers with a thing for white-power tattoos. Although Life & Style gave us quite a scare last week when Sandra’s Austin neighbour said the actress was getting sucked back into life with her ex Jesse James, a source tells Radar the only love affair she’s rekindling is with his three-legged dogs. She holds a soft spot for his children too.

“The only reason that Sandy gave the green light to Jesse’s move to Austin was because she wants to maintain a relationship with his children. Sandy loves those children but she has absolutely no intention of getting back together with Jesse, ever.”

Jesse has a 15-year-old daughter, Chandler; a 12-year-old son, Jesse Jr.; and a six-year-old daughter, Sunny, who was only a baby when Sandra got together with Jesse. Where things stand now is that Jesse has moved into Sandra City, formerly known as Austin, Texas, to keep Sandra involved in the family, even taking his crazy porn star ex Janine Lindemulder to court to win the right to bring Sunny. But as for Sandra, she has way too many options to settle for a repeat performance from The Most Hated Man In The World. I think Kate Winslet’s pioneering a new version of the fabled “Oscar-r-r-r-r-r Cur-r-r-r-r-r-se.” Instead of losing your husband and wailing away over it after a Best Actress win, Sandra needs to follow Kate’s lead and trade a downer husband for a chiselled male model. They can’t all date Cameron Diaz! They can’t!

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Chances of Being Alone Forever Take a Dip

Jennifer Love Hewitt New Photos

Oh ever since the big snaffoo about how her thunder thighs shouldn’t have squeezed into a bikini she has made for darn sure to stay under the radar. But alas, here she is many moons later finding happiness again in a real size two and a dozen roses. Jennifer Love Hewitt was spotted arriving at Lucky Cheng’s Drag Cabaret restaurant in New York City all smiles again and we couldn’t help but wonder who was putting that smile on her face? Well, sources do confirm that this under the radar actress was spotted on a P.D.A.-laden date, and you’ll never guess who with! (And you’ve never heard of him, shocking, we know.) We can finally go back to sleeping at night, because Jennifer Love Hewitt has gone on a date. The guy is Alex Beh, an actor and director of such projects as the short, non-pig-related film Babe and other projects you’ve never heard of. The new couple were spotted gazing into each other’s sushi at Katsuya in L.A. on Sunday, July 18, Us reports. “They’re really cute together,” a witness says. “They were holding hands the whole night!” Well, one person’s cute is another person’s disgusting, but I already knew that from when Maxim named Jen Love 1999′s Sexiest Woman In The World. Jen’s had two high-profile break-ups since 2009. She called off her engagement to actor Ross McCall last year, then started dating her Ghost Whisperer co-star Jamie Kennedy in March. However, apparently two ghost whisperers can’t make it work. They broke up this past March. It sounds like Jen is ready to throw herself into this new thing with the same passion she’s shown in her last two relationships. How comforting that her vajazzling will finally be properly appreciated.
