Jada Pinkett Smith gets photographed without her wedding ring, significant?

Jada is shown here wearing her ring on 8-1-11. Go to X-17 to see the ringless photos, which look staged

Photo agency X-17 and MSNBC’s The Scoop are making a big deal out of the fact that Jada Pinkett Smith stepped out without her massive pear-shaped diamond wedding ring. I did some forensic analysis (ha!) of older photos of Jada, and even when she’s casually dressed and out without Will, she wears that ginormous bauble. For example here she is at the LA Times Festival Of Books in April, wearing jeans and a jean jacket, but still with her ring.

In April with the ring:

I couldn’t find any photos of her without it at any of our agencies (which don’t have recent photos). I did find these photos of her ringless in late August, which could possibly be dismissed since she’s out exercising. Given the fact that she still isn’t wearing her ring, I would say that things are close to over between her and Will. Remember how they were rumored to be planning to sue In Touch for their split article last month? We haven’t heard anything about that since.

So did Jada cheat with Marc Anthony on the set of HawthoRNe? Marc has denied it, but I bet there was at least an inappropriately close “friendship” there. That can happen when one party wants out of a marriage, and it often blows up into an affair. An emotional affair can be just as devastating to a marriage, though, and whatever went on between Jada and Marc may have hastened the end of Marc’s marriage to J.Lo.

Are Jada and Will the next celebrities who are going to announce a split? I wouldn’t count on it. I bet they’ll keep it under wraps for as long as possible. It’s probably the best way to deal with it, given their kids’ ages (10 and 13) and how an announcement could affect them.

Ashton Kutcher’s mistress lawyers up, will Ashton & Demi announce a split?

Celebrities Comments Off

40192PCN_TimeGala
Radar is reporting that Ashton Kutcher’s latest mistress, the one we heard about yesterday whose “friend” claims to have knowledge that she hooked up with him at a San Diego hotel over the weekend, has lawyered up. As Kaiser e-mailed me, fingers crossed that it’s Gloria Allred. I’m hoping more mistresses crawl out of the woodwork and that this is about to turn into a media circus. I know that’s mean to say, and honestly I do feel for Demi, but ever since Tiger and Jesse James raised the bar for cheating scandals I’ve been waiting for another one. Radar calls the lawyer a “top Hollywood attorney” and claims the mistress has “gone into hiding.” If the mistress’ layer is Allred then this girl has holed up in order to get a payday. If Ashton doesn’t pony up the money to make this go away, there will be a press conference and she’ll start to call the paps. That’s Allred’s MO and it’s about to play out. What’s more is that the night Ashton cheated on Demi was actually their sixth anniversary. They were probably separated, but still that’s harsh:

A 23-year-old woman is accusing Ashton Kutcher of cheating on wife Demi Moore after a booze-fueled boys night out at a San Diego nightclub last Friday, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The woman, who RadarOnline.com has chosen not to identify, has lawyered up with a top Hollywood attorney and gone into hiding, multiple friends of the woman have revealed.

One pal said: “She is due to meet with an attorney tonight (Tuesday). She is freaking out.”

Ironically, the allegations of infidelity coincide with the Two and a Half Men star’s six-year wedding anniversary with Demi, on September 24. He was out until the early hours of that morning.

“Ashton didn’t look like someone who was celebrating a wedding anniversary,” one clubgoer told RadarOnline.com.

Kutcher 33, and Moore, 48, have not responded to RadarOnline.com’s repeated requests for comment.

The scandal also comes as Star magazine, a sister title of RadarOnline.com, prepares to hit newsstands with a sensational report, revealing the pair’s marriage is “officially over” as a result of Kutcher’s cheating. The issue is due to hit newsstands on Wednesday.

“Ashton and Demi have separated and the marriage is over,” a source close to the pair told Star. “The relationship ended because of Ashton’s serial cheating. It’s a painful time for Demi.”

[From Radar]

Still no word from Ashton or Demi on their Twitter accounts on this, and you know they’ve heard of it by now. Do you think they’ll release an official statement on their separation soon? I do. It’s early on the West Coast now, but I’m expecting it sometime today. Especially given this latest cover of Star. I’m interested to see how many other mistresses Star unearthed. If they’re out there, Allred will find them. She’s an expert at that.

This sheds a lot of light onto that bizarre anti sex trafficking campaign that Ashton did for his charity with those stupid joking videos about how real men don’t buy girls. I guess real men pick them up at bars and make sure they’re legal first.

Guess who got voted off DWTS (hint: man face & was replaced by a wrestler)

Celebrities Comments Off

elisabetta1
Last night was the second week elimination for Dancing with The Stars, and the lackluster Elisabetta Canalis was voted off, despite tying for a respectable fourth in the judges’ scores this week. It looks like Elisabetta just didn’t have the name recognition, the compelling story, the likability or the rhythym to hang in there past the second week. Buh-bye to her. Sadly, David Arquette was in the bottom two after a goofy performance. I hope he brings it next week. Here’s more, from E!

Tonight, Dancing With the Stars said ciao to Elisabetta Canalis and partner, first year pro Val Chmerkovskiy. Canalis had struggled during her two weeks on the show, and when it came down to her and David Arquette on the chopping block, the viewers voted off the Italian beauty.

Unfortunately, Elisabetta and Val do not get to live to dance another week, as they got sent home tonight. “We had bad luck. It makes me sad. I’m sorry because Val was a great teacher. He didn’t deserve that,” she tells us sadly. “You can expect that from me because I’ve never been a dancer in my life, but he’s a champion.”

Her partner Val seemed equally upset over the outcome, more for her sake than his. “It’s not about me, it’s about her. It might sound a little cliché, but I’m not upset with me. I’m upset for her,” he says. “This is not my time to shine. This wasn’t my stage; this wasn’t my competition. I just wish she had another chance to shine.”

Elisabetta also filled us in on her post-DWTS plans, which sound pretty awesome to us. “I will gain weight for sure,” she laughs. “Of course I will not stop doing sports. Maybe I will take a little break from dancing. I’m a little bit sad now.”

[From E! Online]

Aw, her plans are to “gain weight,” meaning she has nothing on the table. Maybe she can do a photo op and plan a clothing line with Christian Audiger that will never materialize.

In related DWTS news, Nancy Grace claims her nip slip on Monday’s episode wasn’t a real nip and told TMZ that the object that was briefly shown on camera was a pasty or nip covering, not her actual nipple. She said “When I got dressed, I was wearing Petals (nipple covers) and an industrial strength bra … my dancing dress also had a bra sewn into it. I have been judged guilty without a trial … I will go to my grave denying the nip slip.” Oh Nancy, you judge people every night on your show, but when it comes to whether your boob popped out you can’t handle the fallout. It’s not like you’re accused of killing someone.

Nancy also denied the boob slip to E! and she went on about it even further, saying “That is not a nipple. That’s going to be on my gravestone. There was no nipple. I certainly don’t want my children to learn to read and read on the Internet that mommy’s a tramp and mommy flashed America! That did not happen. I deny, deny, deny it. You can’t break me. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.” She’s trying to be funny, but she still can’t own up to it. Check out Nancy’s boob here, if that’s a pasty they’re making them look exactly like silicone nipples complete with parts that poke out.

Here are Elisabetta’s two performances on DWTS.

Giuliana Rancic & husband record video to their future “embryo”: sweet or weird?

Celebrities Comments Off

wenn3501538
The final episode of the fourth season of Giuliana Rancic and her hapless husband Bill’s reality show aired last night. Now that I’m staying in the US I feel guilty for not watching every stupid show that’s out there, but I guess in this case I can skip it, having seen the show enough to get a decent read on their personalities. Giuliana is superficial and self obsessed while Bill is supportive and trying to do his best in his marriage. Admittedly I didn’t get as strong an impression of Bill, but he comes across as a decent guy. (You can watch clips on MyStyle.com)

The Daily Mail has details of the season closer, where Giuliana and Bill undergo a third round of IVF treatments, the first two being unsuccessful. They’ve been filmed during previous IVF treatments on their show, and have been open about the pain and disappointment they experienced from one unsuccessful treatment and an another that resulted in a miscarriage at eight weeks. After that they decided to take a year off from trying to conceive, having started the process in early 2009. Giuliana has been very defensive about the fact that she refused to follow her doctor’s orders to gain weight in order to increase her chances of conception. On this episode, she discussed her fear of undergoing another round of IVF after her time off, and recorded a video with Bill to their potential future child. It sounds kind of cheesy to me, especially when they call him/her a “beautiful embryo,” but I get the sentiment.

Ahead of the procedure Giuliana, 36, is seen clearly anxious and nearly backs out at the last minute, while the couple chat anxiously in the car park.

‘I’m nervous as hell,’ she tells Bill. ‘Is it too late to turn around?’

Giuliana, who once underwent a whopping 63 IVF shots a month, certainly has cause for concern.

The last time she underwent IVF she suffered extreme sickness.

But as she reveals her fears to her husband, Bill encourages his wife, reminding her that back then she was in bad shape, and this time around things are a lot better.

‘The last time we did this, at this stage, you were a lot more uncomfortable You couldn’t even walk and were in a lot of pain,’ he said.

‘Now you could run laps. We did it the right way.’

Confident that their third time will be a charm, the pair record a video message for their future child.

‘Future baby boy or girl: Today is the day we go in to conceive you,’ Giuliana says.

‘You are a follicle right now, and hopefully all will go well and you will become a beautiful embryo and then a baby.’
The couple’s second visit to the medical center comes after they were seen meeting with Dr Schoolcraft for the first time in last week’s episode.

There, they discussed the last failed round of IVF after Guiliana sadly suffered a miscarriage last year.

‘They told us they were A + eggs so we thought it was a no brainer,’ Bill tells the doctor.

However, the couple are offered renewed hope by Schoolcraft for another round of treatment.

‘Dr Schoolcraft is very optimistic about our chances which I think is a breath of fresh air,’ Bill said in the clip.

‘We haven’t had this much hope in a long time, so this is very, very nice,’ added Giulliana.

Bill even started to think about what could happen if the couple conceive.

‘I’d love to have twins,’ he told the doctor, who agrees that two babies is a definite possibility.

However Giuliana was keen to have even more babies.

‘Even if we have twins, we’re having more kids,’ she laughed. ‘We’re going to need a frequent IVF-er card.’

Back in July, Bill told Us Weekly magazine how they would be looking at ‘all options when it comes to children, whether it’s surrogacy or adoption.’

‘We’re going to keep trying ourselves, but if it doesn’t work out, there are so many other great alternatives. We’re open to everything,’ added Giuliana.

[From The Daily Mail]

You know that Giuliana was nervous about IVF because of the weight gain, not because of how it would make her feel. That may sound harsh, but read what this woman has said about her weight in the past. She’s obsessed with her body image to an unhealthy degree. She doesn’t seem to mind feeling hungry constantly, she’s just concerned with looking anything more than skeletal. I do hope that she’s able to get pregnant and carry a healthy baby to term, like her idols Rachel Zoe and Posh. Then we’ll be treated to baby photos and baby anecdotes and “how I lost the baby weight fast!” articles on her website. She’ll be one of those know-it-all moms who tells everyone else how to raise their kids, just wait.

New season of that Duggar show premieres tonight, will it ever get interesting?

Celebrities Comments Off

michelleheader
That TLC reality show staple, “19 Kids and Counting,” is back with new episodes starting tonight. Radar has a preview where they all go to Niagara Falls, and it makes me want to bring my kid to the Falls. I used to go to college less than an hour from there and was constantly visiting the Falls. We would go out all night and then drive to the Falls in the morning like a pilgrimage or something, but I digress. We’re talking about The Duggars, who are using this presumably drama free journey to Niagara Falls as a plot point for their reality show. In the clip on Radar, most of the kids and their dad walked down the walkway on the American side to see the Falls close up, but Michelle stayed up top because she didn’t want to mess up her perfect AquaJet 90s hair.

I’ve watched a few episodes and it seems like the most boring reality show ever. I mean, they come across like great parents when they have the energy to pay attention to a specific kid. The kids don’t really fight and they’re all Jesus-y. It’s like Ned Flanders had a litter. They had that scary issue with a premature baby, but obviously that didn’t stop them from wanting to continue populating the world with as many Duggars as possible. Duggars don’t care.

So with Kate Gosselin imploding and the polygamist Sister Wives kids freaking out, what do the Duggars have to offer? They’re surprisingly well adjusted and high functioning for a huge reality show family. I’m hoping everything goes fine for them and especially for their kids, but why are they seemingly immune to the insidious effects of fame? Whenever I see that show it’s like the entire family is operating on another planet, where everything is fine and they don’t seem to let a single thing bother them. That makes it boring, especially when you’re forced to listen to Michelle’s droning baby voice. The concept of the Duggars is interesting and fuels a lot of debate about religion and overpopulation, but in practice they’re just so vanilla. It’s like the highlight of the year is having a new kid come into the family. Take that away and they’re just a record setting homeschooling family where everything is okely dokely.

Ashton Kutcher rumored to be caught cheating on Demi again (update)

Celebrities Comments Off

fp_7442887_karan_donna_aar_
We’ve heard rumors that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are just about to split up, and the thing that convinces me more than anything is the fact that Demi is looking so skeletal lately. She’s always been thin, but she just looks upset and unwell at this point.

Anyway here’s yet another rumor that Ashton is cheating on Demi. The first time we heard that Ashton was cheating was a full year ago, when a Demi lookalike sold her story and gave text evidence to Star Magazine. Ashton didn’t exactly deny that report, but he threatened to sue and of course never did. Demi and Ashton made some public appearances together after that and started a sketchy charity to fight sex trafficking. Then this June we saw Ashton leaving a hotel with a “mystery blonde”. They were there with other people, but it looked suspicious.

Anyway here’s another rumor that Ashton is fooling around. A tipster e-mailed TheDirty.com with a story of a friend’s hookup with him.

Nik, I’m going to be straight to the point. I’m a female who works at who happens to be friends with Sara Leal, probably not after this. I’m sick to my stomach over what happen last Friday night. Like most people on earth I worshiped Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore until Ashton Kutcher f*cked my friend Sara Leal at 4:30AM technically Saturday morning in his room on the 12 floor at the Hardrock Hotel in San Diego. Ashton Kutcher told Sara Leal that him and Demi Moore are separated and the public doesn’t know yet. Smooth line Ashton, she was going to f*ck you anyway. Nik if you want to verify any of this just call Sara Leal yourself or ask Deena Omari. Better yet subpoena Ashton’s bodyguard who took her phone before she came into the room.

[From The Dirty]

According to the guy who runs TheDirty, the girl who slept with Ashton wants a whopping $250,000 for her story. He believes this happened, and let’s face it, given Ashton’s history it sounds likely even with the money grab. Do you think that more women are going to come out of the woodwork now and that it will start being a real scandal? I bet it will. (Yeah I’m hoping for one, I know that’s wrong.)

I checked Demi and Ashton’s Twitter accounts and neither of them have directly tweeted to each other in at least a month. Demi mentioned Ashton’s involvement in some charity fantasy football league, but that’s it. Check out the photos on Demi’s account. The last one of Ashton with her was a couple of months ago. I bet they’re over and that Demi is delaying the announcement. It’s sad for them, but Demi does not need to stay with a cheater.

Update: I just read over at Lainey Gossip that these two take the cover of Star Magazine with news of their split. The title is: “World Exclusive It’s Over! Demi & Ashton’s $290 million divorce!

These photos are from June 9th.

Was L Word star Leisha Hailey kicked off Southwest airlines for kissing her girlfriend?

Celebrities Comments Off

wenn2377159
I haven’t flown Southwest Airlines in over 10 years, since most of my flights are international, not domestic. The one time I did fly with them they seriously bugged me. I hated the free for all seating arrangements, I didn’t like the joking informal flight attendants because it seemed unprofessional, and I remember complaining to a friend about it at the time. Flying sucks in general though, and while I doubt that other airlines are much better it does seem that people have more problems with Southwest. We just heard that the dude from Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong, got kicked off a Southwest Flight for not pulling his saggy pants up. And Southwest is the airline that booted director Kevin Smith from a flight that was overbooked, and then tried to make it sound like he was too fat to fly when that wasn’t the case.

So now we’re hearing that Leisha Hailey, who starred on The L Word, got kicked off a Southwest flight for kissing her girlfriend. Hailey tweeted that she got booted off the plane for being gay and is calling for a boycott of Southwest. Meanwhile Southwest issued a statement that she was showing “excessive” PDA and that other passengers were complaining.

The L Word actress Leisha Hailey says she was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight after kissing her girlfriend.

In a series of tweets Monday, Hailey wrote that she and fashion designer Nina Garduno, who have been together since 2006, “were escorted off the plane for getting upset about the issue.”

“I have been discriminated against by @SouthwestAir,” she tweeted. “Flt. attendant said that it was a ‘family’ airline and kissing was not ok.”

“This is an outrage,” she added. “I demand a public apology by @SouthwestAir and a refund. Hate is not a family value. I will never fly this airline.”

She continued: “We were escorted off the plane for getting upset about the issue. @SouthwestAir endorses homophobic employees. No one made her accountable.”

The Uh Huh Her twitter feed — of which Hailey, also a musician, is a member — also posted a series of tweets about the incident. One noted that the couple “joined the ranks” of Kevin Smith and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, both of whom were previously kicked off SWA flights. In February 2010, Smith claimed he was kicked off for being too large to fit in a single seat, while Armstrong earlier this month tweeted that he was escorted off the aircraft for wearing sagging pants.

“We didn’t know intolerance and discrimination for slouchy pants, being overweight or being gay was part of your family values,” an Uh Huh Her tweet read.

Meanwhile, a SWA rep did reach out to Hailey via Uh Huh Her’s Twitter account.

“I’m so sorry!” read a tweet from SWA’s account. “Can you please follow/DM [direct message] me more details so we can get to the bottom of this? Thanks!”

SWA later tweeted this statement, which did not mention Hailey by name: “Initial reports indicate that we received several passenger complaints characterizing the behavior as excessive. Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all Customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behavior and not gender. The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight. We regret any circumstance where a passenger does not have a positive experience on Southwest and we are ready to work directly with the passengers involved to offer our heartfelt apologies for falling short of their expectations.”

[From Hollywood Reporter]

It’s hard to tell exactly what happened. The airline would have us believe that Hailey and her girlfriend were making out and that everyone complained about it. The airline’s statement insinuates that the couple got worked up about being asked to stop and were arguing with the crew about it, so they got escorted off the flight. Hailey’s version is that she was just kissing her girlfriend, that a homophobic stewardess targeted them, and that they were treated unfairly. After reading Hailey’s tweets about it in order, she makes a strong case. The part that convinced me is that the stewardess said they were a “family” airline. Who knows what they were doing and how they reacted though. They could have been making out heavily for all we know. Just to reiterate, I hate flying.

Oh and Hailey tweeted a link to this page where Southwest tries to establish that they’re fabulous and gay friendly. This is their actual header graphic.

Hugh Jackman and his wife think they were destined to adopt their kids

Celebrities Comments Off

fp_7762388_api_jackman_furn
Those of you who read us regularly know that I love Hugh Jackman. I just think he’s a genuinely nice guy and super hot to boot. My admiration of Hugh crept up on me. While I’ve had crushes on other celebrities like Matt Damon and Johnny Depp forever, Hugh earned my fangirl status from his actions and interviews. Anyway here’s another reason to love Hugh. In a new interview with Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, the 42 year-old actor opens up about how he and his wife of 15 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, struggled with infertility before deciding to adopt. They are now parents to son Oscar, 11, and daughter Ava, six. Hugh describes it as very difficult to get to the point of adopting, but ultimately rewarding. He also sees the adoption of his two children as fated. It’s touching the way he explains it.

The 42-year-old star is married to wife Deborra-Lee Furness and they have two adopted children - Oscar, 11, and Ava, six.

He spoke to Australia’s Herald Sun about the moment they discovered they weren’t able to have children naturally.

He said: ‘It was painful. It’s not easy. You put a lot of time and effort into it, so it’s emotional.

‘I think any parent can relate - trying to have children is wonderful and when you feel as though that’s not going to happen, there’s a certain anxiety that goes with it.’

He added: ‘We thought we’d have a kid or two biologically and then adopt. But when we decided we’d had enough of IVF, we went ahead with adoption.’

However the couple soon moved on with their plans to become parents.

Jackman said: ‘From the moment we started the adoption process, all the anxiety went away. I don’t think of them as adopted - they’re our children.

‘Deb and I are believers in I suppose you could call it destiny. We feel things happened the way they are meant to. Obviously, biologically wasn’t the way we were meant to have children.

‘Now, as we go through life together, sure there are challenges, but everyone’s in the right place with the right people. It sounds airy-fairy, but it’s something we feel very deeply.’

[From The Daily Mail]

That’s so nice! Hugh and Deborra have been open about this issue, and are involved in several adoption charities. I found this moving interview with Deborra from 2004, before their second child was adopted. She said she’d had two miscarriages before they decided to adopt Oscar. Back when Oscar’s mother was pregnant and Deborra and Hugh were meeting with her about adopting the baby, Deborra thinks she was given a sign that he was meant to be their son. She described how she was in an airplane and saw a lightning storm over Iowa, where his birth mother is from. Here’s that part:

“And I kept saying to Hugh when we were in discussions early on. I said I havn’t got a message yet, I’m waiting for a message. And I was on a flight from Los Angeles to Toronto where Hugh was shooting X-Men 1, I think it was, and I was sitting on this flight and I looked out the window and there was this incredible electric storm outside the window and it was so beautiful, I was just staring at it and I said to the guy sitting next to me, “Wow, look at that, it’s amazing, where are we, and he said I think we’re somewhere over Iowa,” And I, I knew that that was the birth mother I had been speaking to and I grabbed the stewardess and I said do you know where we are and she said oh come up here and took me up to the pilot’s cabin it was before September 11, and went in there and I said where are we? And he said, see down there, there’s Cedar Rapids, and tears started to roll down my face and I knew that was my message. And I loved it, it was like it wasn’t a subtle message, it was like, it’s me already, it’s like this huge electrical storm.”

[From ABC.net.au]

I usually don’t believe in signs and messages. When people tell stories like this I find it fascinating though. I truly believe that they thought they received a sign, and that it was a sign in that way, since signs are what we make of them. (Hopefully that makes sense and doesn’t sound condescending, although it probably does.)

Hugh and Deborra sound like they’re on the exact same page when it comes to their family, and that’s very refreshing to hear, inside or outside of Hollywood.

Nancy Grace slips a nip on DWTS

Celebrities Comments Off

nancygrace
Uncensored version is here
Nancy Grace showed Nicki Minaj level nip during last night’s appearance on DWTS. Her boobs were stuffed so tight into her dress that after her dip at the end of the dance the right one popped out and you could see half of her saucer sized areola. It was only on screen for a brief moment, though, (at :30 into the clip above) and after that Nancy recovered and adjusted herself. Host Tom Bergeron laughed and said “That’s all right, on the European version that would be perfectly fine.” Only this isn’t the European version and won’t someone please think of the children? They’re already traumatized and confused by a transgender dude dancing who somehow has the agenda of “tearing down traditional families.”

In terms of the other performances last night (spoiler warning if you’re waiting to watch) the high scorer was none other than Ricki Lake! JR Martinez and Kristin Cavallari were next. We shouldn’t count limp noodle Elisabetta Canalis out yet, she could be a contender after tying for fourth with Chynna Phillips. Chaz is hanging in there, but was affected by swollen knee joints and scored the lowest. E! Online has a great recap if you’re interested.

ABC is also putting all the dances online, on their official YouTube Channel, this season. It’s great that they’re doing this, but they do cut them right after the dance and before the judges comment. So on their “official version,” we weren’t treated to Nancy’s minor wardrobe malfunction.

Here are more clips.

Ricky Lake & Derek Hough: 23 points for the jive. This is so much fun, but I think JR Martinez’s dance was better.

J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff: 22 points for the jive. He’s got serious moves

Kristin Cavallari & Mark Ballas: 22 points for the cha cha. Her Marilyn styling and this whole concept is so played out.

Chynna Phillips & Tony Dovolani: 21 points for the jive. She still bugs me.

Elisabetta Canalis & Val Chmerkovskiy: 21 points for the quick step. She improved but she really needs to be led around.

Chaz Bono & Lacey Schwimmer: 17 points for the quick step. Chaz will hang on a couple more weeks, then he’ll be off.

There are more videos on ABC’s YouTube Channel

Spencer Pratt & Heidi Montag deep in debt, his agent won’t take his calls

Celebrities Comments Off

fp_4026108_pratt_montag_nyc
This photo is from November, 2009

You know how Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt squandered all the millions they made from being famewhores for a couple of years and were living rent free in a beach house that Spencer’s family owned? (A full recap of their foolishness is here.) You would at least assume that they were flat broke and not deep in debt, but the truth is that they owe “hundreds of thousands in commissions” to their agents, and of course can’t get meager additional jobs because a) no one has any interest in them and b) their agents aren’t going to work for them because they never got paid. Spencer is getting desperate and is calling his agent “30 times” a day.

The former Hills star is so unpopular in Hollywood, even his agent won’t answer his calls!

A source tells the new Us Weekly — on stands now! — that Heidi Montag’s hubby, 28, still owes his agency “hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions” from the millions he and Montag, 25, earned during their run on the MTV reality series.

The source adds that Pratt calls his agent up to 30 times a day. “They just laugh at him or pick up and hang up.”

[From US Weekly]

There’s one additional quote in the print edition that’s not here, and it just states the obvious “Spencer calls his agent daily looking for work, but he won’t book him till he pays them.”

I guess Heidi still gets work showing up to stuff and looking wasted. The last time we saw her she was looking strung out and bloated, while she was thin from admittedly starving herself just three months ago. This is what happens when these flash in the pan celebrities don’t save for a rainy day. These two are the most egregious examples, but I see Kate Gosselin, Snooki, The Jersey Shore drunks and hopefully the entire Kardashian clan following soon. They win the one shot fame lottery for do-nothings and then they make the mistake of thinking they’re famous and that the money will keep flowing in.

This was the actual cover to their book, out in 2009. A mock-worthy passage I got from the preview on Amazon: “Whether you love us, hate us, or love to hate us, there IS a recipe for infiltrating Hollywood, and we’ve got it. Sure, it’s not rocket science, but it IS a science.
