Four For Friday
2. This former A list television star from the early 90's hasn't done much lately but still seems to have all his cash. Is he a spendthrift or does he make his money selling drugs when he visits friends at studios all over town?
3. This celebutante/barely a celebrity just moved to LA and has already put the word out that she wants to do a reality show with her boyfriend. Ummm. You might want to tell him first because he doesn't want anything to do with reality television.
4. This A list aging movie actor keeps buying the lots next to his home as they become available. So far the total is four. He doesn't need the room, but his goal is to have the largest house in LA to show he is still the King.
ZX Reads Some Scripts While Her Dog Eats The House
Spent the day reading scripts- the first is from a director I've previously worked with- he kept telling me that the script was too light for me, what am I, Gothic? It's a very cute romantic comedy and it turns out that he met a financier whose absolute favorite movie of all time is the one that we did together years ago. So tomorrow I'm going to dinner with the two of them to attempt to make this happen. The second was a hideous movie about vampire chicks for Jesus. If that had been the title, I would have understood the tongue in cheek vibe but it was totally absurd and I can comprehend neither how this kind of drivel gets made, nor how it gets to my doorstep. On the other hand, I find crappy scripts to be totally inspiring because as a fledgling screenwriter, it makes me think that I am the next William Goldman.
So while I was revisiting my material, my dog was on the warpath and ate my camera charger, my shoe, and my purse, which is particularly annoying because I thought she was anorexic and she just sits there looking stupid with her tongue hanging out of her mouth when I try to discipline her.

Spider-Man the Musical. At least we know Kirsten Dunst will always get some kind of work. It might be on the cruise ship version of the musical, but it will still be work. Oh, don't take that the wrong way. I don't think she'll actually be good enough to be in the musical. I just think she'll be able to find work signing souvenirs at the shows.
Ummm. Victoria Beckham just spent $4000 on bras and panties. What exactly does she do with the bras? Does she figure she needs to buy the pair even if she is only going to use the bottoms? Is it realistic to assume that a woman who never wears a bra actually wears panties? Did she buy these just because it's the one thing she has never bought before?
Ted C Blind Item
Hardly the secret, really, as T2's puss-ravaging lifestyle has left her cover-ready looks a little worse for the wear these past few years. Not even my Aunt Martha in Texas is surprised to see T.T. looking like a slightly younger version of Barbara Bush at myriad H-town events.
But Thelma-doll's looks ain't exactly the point of this item—it's her career, which everyone from the fruit sprayer at Gelson's to CAA honchos is debating whether or not is salvageable. My guess? No way.
Why? Because the top spinmeisters in town (ya know, the crowd that's known for darling little campaigns such as convincing the American public that Eddie Murphy is a "Good Samaritan" because he gave a peeyem ride to a transvestite) are turning down T.T. right 'n' leery left. Jeez, that says somethin', I'm tellin' ya.
"She's not ready," one of T-town's premier Machiavellian types told me after she had been asked to raise Ms. Turnip's chances for a professional resurgence. When pressed, the wizard at reinventing fallen entertainment idols told me Ms. Turnip is still—you guessed it—not exactly cleaned up, as everyone currently thinks.
Hey, I used to be addicted to that crap, I know how tough it is—good luck, Thelma! We're prayin' for ya, you gonzo g-friend!
The New Speedy Collection
Mena Suvari finally manages a smile. Judging by the way she looks, I'm guessing she needs the free clothes. Even the guy behind her is saying, "Damn. That's the girl from American Beauty? Give me some Spacey instead. Hell, I'll even take Thora Birch and her dad."

Pete Doherty Stays Out of Jail And Dumps Water on Pap
Anyway, when Pete got home and was waiting for the Missus to come home with her paycheck, he got angry at a pap and decided to throw some water on him. Hopefully it didn't damage the camera because Pete will have to ask Kate for the money. Pete's about out of money.

Virgie has a child with her step-brother. I really can't type anymore. I didn't even want to read the article. In case it was too subtle before, Virgie got knocked up by her step-brother. Now, I'm sure she isn't the first or even the hundredth person to get knocked up by their step-brother, but I do know that Dannilynn shouldn't have to be next in that category.

So, do you remember the blind item of the year post?
November 29, 2006
DEVELOPING -- BLIND ITEM OF THE YEAR -- I keep trying to type this and I just cannot believe what the caller said. They definitely would know, but it is still unbelievable. When this female celebrity (#1) is arguing with another female celebrity or two it has always been assumed that the argument pertained to boyfriends or some trivial matter. As one of the female celebrities (#2) continues to go through personal problems, she is reaching out to friends with the story that she is involved in an on again and off again relationship with the other female celebrity (#1) and that what started out as a laugh became love for celeb #2 while celeb #1 preys on those emotions and treats #2 as a plaything when she needs someone which is causing #2 to spiral out of control. -- STAY TUNED --
***Well it turns out that one of the people (#2) in this scenario has found a new love and it's a woman. It doesn't exactly reveal the blind item, but it sure goes a very long way to helping you figure it out.***

Heidi Klum is the third celebrity this week to be photographed at Target. When I go to Target, I just find people who don't know where the closest Wal-Mart is. Actually I enjoy Target and right now I'm just enjoying life. I had the crappiest day ever yesterday and even was about to post about it today, but something happened which makes it unnecessary, but also deprives you of a good AP story.

Bye Joan. It just wasn't the same with you on TV Guide Channel anyway. Face it, no one wants to watch that channel because you are always distracted by the scrolling screen, and then you get caught up in actually watching the screen. Then, when you turn away for a second or respond to Joan's shrieks you miss the channel you were interested in and have to watch the scroll for another 10 minutes before it pops up again. You need to find some work soon Joan because I'm not sure Melissa has ever got a job on her own and she has a child to feed.
Chris Rock wants to know if he's the baby's daddy. I want to know why she waited until the child was 13 to file something. Chris Rock has been famous for awhile now. I don't think it's his unless maybe he told his wife he didn't have any other kids, then was paying the mother on the side. His wife notices some money is missing from the cookie jar and so Chris stops paying the mother. Mother gets pissed and files the action which leads to all the Chris Rock marriage on the rocks rumors. Nice little circle. Glad that's solved. Oh, and if that little scenario is true, the IRS would like to have a chat with both parties.
Lindsay says she's not an addict. I thought she went to AA meetings. You know the first thing everyone does is go around the circle and say, "Hi, I'm Lindsay and I'm an alcoholic." So anyway, I'm confused. Of course I'm confused about lots of things especially when they involve Lindsay.

ZX--Two Combined Posts, Three Photos
If only I had not been crazed and on my way to a photo shoot, I would have been more specific about the fact that Frankie said to a birthday party WITH Ryan Gosling, not Ryan Gosling's birthday party, but it doesn't matter because we confused Parc with Mood and never ended up at the party anyway. I was wondering why Frankie and crew never showed up... Found all this out later when my best friend was telling someone this story and he claimed to be Ryan G's close friend. Anyway, to all you doubters, you should know by now that I have trouble being organized with almost every element of my life. I just thought this particular snafu was so funny I wanted to share it.
Photo shoot was lots of fun although I think the engineering of Mulholland Drive is a conspiracy. Why did they make it so difficult to simply stay on the same street. One minute you're merrily on Mulholland talking on the phone and cursing zen drivers and the next you're rudely dumped in Hollywood or the Valley. I have to read two scripts tonight but I'll use my handy dandy fact checker next time I want to relate a night on the town.
Here are the photos from the shoot. The first is of the view on the Hollywood side of Mulholland. The second is the sumptuous clothes I wore. The third is the photographer and the makeup artist.

Harrison Ford engaged. At 64, he realizes that he might as well stick with what he's got now because with his winning personality it's going to be tough to find someone else who's 24 years younger and can actually put up with him.
