Know Your Role

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
After spending the night partying away with her BFF Marc Jacobs and other such fashion dignitaries at the 2008 CFDA Awards at the New York Public Library last night, Vicki B. put away her ruffled hearts dress and put on something more … provincial … to wear as she stepped out into NYC today to take care of some biz around town. Here are pics of VB making her way out of her hotel earlier today:

I hate to say it but I really like VB’s look when she wears these June Cleaver dresses out in public. It gives her that Stepford look that I’m sure she prefers considering that she’s a robot and all. The slicked back hair, harsh make-up and over-the-top dresses don’t really work as well as this simpler look does. When she’s all gaudy, it looks like she’s trying too hard to look cool. Dressed like this she looks like the sweet and simple animatronic humanoid robot that she was meant to be. Stick with your strengths, VB … it’s not like you have all that many to take advantage of.

Big Daddy

Prive nightclub, in its infinite wisdom, has deemed Kevin Federline as the Father of the Year and plans to honor the man at a Las Vegas event at their nightclub inside the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV on Friday June 13th … just in time for Father’s Day:

Kevin Federline is the new father of the year! Just in time for Father’s Day, Prive Las Vegas will award the proud papa of four his “father of the year” status at a party he is slated to host there June 13. Sources tell PEOPLE he will be awarded the title during a presentation at the club. The unofficial honor is Federline’s second such recognition in a relatively short time. Last November, Details magazine also anointed him father of the year – an honor he shared with onetime Anna Nicole Smith boyfriend Larry Birkhead.

No word was given as to what qualified K-Fed for this distinction but I suspect an affinity for makin’ babies has to be at least one of the qualifications (and boy, does K-Fed like makin’ babies … and with different women, too!). In all honesty, I do have to give K-Fed props for taking relative care of his family and for not kicking Britney Spears when she was down. I understand he has been working closely with Britney in order to help her get better so that she can be the best mother to their children Sean Preston and Jayden James as she can be. Yeah, I guess that’s Father of the Year material. And suddenly, I cannot *believe* I just wrote that. [Source]

So That’s How He Got Into Aniston’s Pants

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
John Mayer, Jennifer Aniston’s current beau, was spotted gassing up his baby blue and orange Ford GT hot rod before picking up his ladylove for lunch at The Beverly Hills Hotel this week …

… could this be reason that Jennifer Aniston fell madly in lurve with Mr. Mayer? I mean … how does one go from Brad Pitt to John Mayer unless there is a hawt car involved. I’m just saying. [Source]

The TV Guide: We Have A Winner!

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Whew! There is a lot going on right about now as we move into the final week before relaunch. The amazing designer who is working on the site is carefully tweaking and fixing all the things that I keep throwing at her … which is keeping me from freaking out. I, of course, want everything to turn out perfectly but I will be ecstatic if things just turn out smoothly.

Yesterday, I selected the winner of the Pink is the new Blog Relaunch Party contest and gave her a congratulatory call last night. Jamalia David is a medical student at Texas A&M who will be taking some major exams this weekend and then will be starting her third year of medical school shortly thereafter — but in between, Nestea and Nikon COOLPIX will be flying her out for an all expenses paid trip to LA to come party with me and my friends on June 11th. I am so happy that she won and I can’t wait to meet her and introduce her to all my peeps. More info of Jamalia will be posted at PinkVIPBlogger.com … which you may want to bookmark, that is where Jamalia will be posting her blog and photos from the party next week :)

As much as I don’t have much time to breathe these days, I made a commitment to my boys Michael, Steph and Alek that we would go to Disneyland today … so instead of cancelling on them, I’m gonna cut out soon to make our date. I really need a break from all the stress goin’ on … I’ll be very happy once the site gets relaunched next week and things can get back to normal.

Motion: Denied! Nick Hogan Stays In The Big House

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
TMZ is reporting that Nick Hogan’s request to be released from jail so that he can serve out the remainder of his 8-month sentence (for pleading no contest after causing a crash that seriously injured his best friend John Graziano who remains hospitalized in a vegetative state) has been denied. Imagine that! He’s actually going to have to pay for the crime he plead no contest to:

Poor Nick Hogan! A judge has just denied his request to be let out til his 18th birthday. For now, Nicky Boy will stay put in the Pinellas County, Fla. jail. 17-year-old Nick — whose real name is Nick Bollea — complained he was essentially in solitary confinement, isolated from the general population, saying it “wasn’t fair.” Tell that to John Graziano and his family. He wanted to be placed under house arrest til his bday in mid July, presumably because his parents have been such a good influence on him.

The fact that Nick is actually suffering in jail is good … maybe he will actually learn the lesson that he was sent there to learn. Kudos to the judge for not buckling under the pressure to placate the Hogan family. Maybe they’ll learn a lesson, too. Click HERE to read the court documents relating to this denial. [Source]

Lohan To ‘Han Combat

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
Ex-husband and wife Michael Lohan and Dina Lohan met today in New York family court to discuss the terms regarding visitation of their youngest children Ali and Cody Lohan. Here are pics of the parents arriving separately at a Nassau County courthouse earlier today:

Lindsay Lohan’s divorced parents met in family court in New York on Tuesday to discuss visitation with their younger children Ali and Cody. After spending part of the morning in private talks, Judge Stacey Bennett said in open court: “I’m encouraged to hear that the parties and counsel are working at ways to repair the relationship between the children and the father.” Michael Lohan, 48, and Dina Lohan, 45, reached a settlement in their contentious divorce last summer. But other issues remained to be worked out, including parental access to their minor children – Ali, 14, who costars with her mother in a reality TV series, and brother Cody, 11.

I guess Michael Lohan wants a bit more time with his kids than merely having to tune in on Sunday nights to watch them on E! I know it sounds terrible but I really feel like Michael Lohan is just trying to get more visitation so that he can horn in on the sad celebrity that Dina and her children share. I find it very difficult to believe that he is being genuine. [Source]

In positive news, tho, both Dina and Michael presented a united front after the court hearing was finished to try and “plead” with the media to “leave them alone” as they figure out their family issues …

… besides, Dina wants to have a monopoly on exploiting her family’s travails on her own TV show (Michael just wants a cameo).
