Stephen Dorff: Now & Then

What happened?
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Former hottie Stephen Dorff was snapped enjoying a cigarette outside his NYC hotel this week (he’s in town promoting his new movie Felon which co-stars another former hottie, Val Kilmer) … unfortch, the lad was showing off a receding hairline that looks like it has no intention of stopping:


Yeesh! He might benefit from the services of Brendan Fraser’s hairplug surgeon. It wasn’t that long ago that Stephen was melting hearts with his sexy good looks. After the jump, take a look back at his semi-nekkid semi-NSFW photo from the UK version of Cosmopolitan magazine that makes a habit of featuring hawt nude men within the pages of their mag …

Amy Winehouse Strikes Again

This time she assaults her own bodyguard, random strangers
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Apparently, Amy Winehouse doesn’t just have a knack for assaulting her fans … it appears that she also seems to enjoy assaulting random strangers on the street (well, actually, in a pub) as well as beating members of her own security detail. Here are a few pics of Amy’s assault on her bodyguard as she returned home from an outing, days after she allegedly beat a man in a pub earlier in the week:


Stand back everybody – here comes Amy! Cementing her reputation as a star not to be messed with, the 24-year-old got into her third brawl in two weeks – with her own minder. Returning home from the Good Mixer, one of her regular Camden haunts, Amy hit her waiting bodyguard directly in the face last night. And by the looks of things he felt the full force of her hand, grimacing in pain as she went in for another blow. Wearing red shorts and a 1950’s style black shirt, Amy looked glamorous but dishevelled as she entered her North London abode leaving the unlucky minder behind her. But he can take solace in the knowledge he’s not the only one to have been on the receiving end of Amy’s temper. She was seen striking a fan outside her Camden flat, claiming he had pinched her bottom.

Earlier this week, she allegedly struck a man in the face while on one of her numerous pub visits:

They came out of the blue – three stinging smacks from Amy Winehouse as the turbulent pop diva “went wild” in an unprovoked pub attack. Wayne Lindsay was standing quietly behind the 24-year-old star when she whipped round, screamed “Wanker!” at him and belted him for no reason. Salesman Wayne, 29, said: “She was in front of me at the bar and suddenly turned and walloped me three times across the face. It really stung. I couldn’t believe it. I hadn’t said a word to her or touched her. I was just drinking a pint with my friends. There was no obvious reason for her flying off the handle. But she clearly thought I’d done something. She was wild. She just flipped. It was as if she had voices in her head.”

The report goes on to say that Amy was “downing tequila shots” with friends before she freaked out and wailed on the poor guy. Yeah, that sounds about right. I mean, it’s pretty clear that Amy Winehouse isn’t the most stable person on Earth:


I guess these guys should look on the bright side … a punch from Amy Winehouse ensures you get 15 minutes of fame. That’s got to account for something, yes?

The Death Of ‘Brangelina’

Peace the Spork Out goes to the couple's famous moniker
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Back in March, it was reported that Jennifer Lopez added a stipulation to the sale of the first photos of her newborn twin babies Max and Emme that stated that People magazine could no longer refer to her as “J. Lo if they wanted to close the $6 million dollar deal for the pics. People magazine complied (as far as I know) and the babies were featured on the cover and in the pages of the magazine without using the name “J. Lo” once. Now, TMZ is reporting that Angelina Jolie is insisting a similar stipulation be included with any deal (yet to be made with any magazine) for the sale of her twin baby pics. As part of the deal for the pics, which thus far has the asking price of $16 million bucks, the couple is no longer to be referred to as “Brangelina:


Someone is going to part with megabucks for the first shots of Brangelina’s twins, but if you want the snaps, you’re also going to give up something else. A source in the know tells TMZ that one of the conditions of getting the J-P twins’ first pictures is that the winning mag is forbidden from using “Brangelina.” Multiple sources tell us the couple hates the moniker — but no one more than Angelina.

LOL! This is so ridiculous. I mean, I guess I can understand the mentality of J. Lo and Brangelina … if they hate the nicknames, they hate the nicknames. Using whatever leverage they have to try and put an end to the nicknames they apparently hate so much makes sense. In J. Lo’s case, tho, her moniker was a creation of her own — she proudly used the nickname, making it the title of her second album. In Brangelina’s case, well, they had no say in the creation of the name so they have a better case. Unfortch for them, tho, I’m pretty sure the world isn’t going to stop calling them Brangelina … I know I’m not. The only media outlet that will stop using the name is the outlet that shells out the $16+ million bucks for the pics. And for the record, I like the nickname Brangelina … it falls off the tongue so nicely, don’t you think?

Sean Preston Steps Out

He's a big boy now
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Earlier this morning we got our very first look at Jamie Lynn Spears’s first born child Maddie Briann, who is featured on the cover of this week’s issue of OK! magazine, so I thought it would be nice to check in with Britney Spears’s first born child Sean Preston to see what he is up to these days. Here are a few pics of Sean P. making his exit from his visit to My Gym yesterday in Tarzana, CA:


Okay, so I know that little Sean Preston has been walking on his own for some time now but it seems more significant that Britney’s first baby is now a walking little kid, especially in light of the new photos of JL’s newborn baby girl. It doesn’t seem like all that long ago that little Sean Preston was making his own magazine cover debut (you may recall that People magazine put Spederline and son on the cover of their mag back in November of 2005). It took 2 months for Britney’s first born son to appear on a magazine cover (and her second son, Jayden James, never appeared on a magazine cover) and it only took 3 weeks for JL’s first child to appear on a magazine cover … the times, they are a’changin’. In any event, Sean Preston is growing like a little weed … he’ll be 3 years old in September. I guess it won’t be long until we see pics of little Maddie Briann walking on her own in the very near future. It’s funny how time flies.

‘Peace The Spork Out’ Goes To J. Lo’s ‘Madre’

No more words to her madre
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

TMZ is reporting that there has been a death of sorts in Jennifer Lopez’s family … her Madre has Peaced the Spork Out. No, not her actual madre but her Latin Cuisine restaurant Madre’s has apparently closed up shop:


Now that she’s a new mother, Jennifer Lopez has no need for Madre’s — her Latin restaurant has closed. A sign on the Pasadena eatery says it shuttered on July 1st “until further notice.” Madre’s had been in business for over six years — a lifetime in the world of celeb restaurants. In contrast, Britney’s NYC joint NYLA lasted less than a year.

Now, it’s entirely possible that the restaurant is merely closed for a while (maybe for the summer?) and hasn’t peaced out for good … but the sign on the door that reads that Madre’s is closed “until further notice” does seem telling:


It’s also telling that J. Lo’s reps have yet to get back with a statement about the state of the biz. I really hope the place isn’t closed for good … I have yet to be able to sample J. Lo’s Ropa Vieja or her Lomo Asado en su Jugo. Have I lost out on my chance forever?

It’s All Greek To Me

The TV Guide
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

No big news to report on the home front … I made my way out to The Parlour on 3rd to get a long-overdue haircut from my amazing stylist Josh Rosebrook. As difficult as it was to do, I had to tear myself away from the mounds of laundry that I had complied over the past few weeks and even tho I didn’t really have the time, I let Josh talk me into a quick bite to eat at an amazing Greek restaurant called Sofi that was in walking distance:


We ended up having a great time just hanging out and talking the beautiful courtyard at Sofi.

I’m really excited because David is arriving from NYC tonight ahead of my birthday this weekend … I know it hasn’t been that long since I was in NYC but I’ve been missing my boo .. I’m glad he’ll be here tonight. So, yeah, that’s about it … preparations still need to be taken care of before David arrives so I’ll be bizzy this afternoon. It ain’t exciting but it’s life :)

PS: This post is the 500th post on the newly redesigned Pink is the new Blog. My how time flies.
