Susan Sarandon and her (rumored) boyfriend hit volleys in Miami. Who's planning Kate and Will's wedding? Courtney Love gets priced out. Sunday Gossip roundup is a three bedroom walkup of titillating celebrity tidbits.
- Susan Sarandon and her rumored boyfriend, the young ping pong entrepreneur Jonathan Bricklin, were hanging out and giggling at Art Basel in Miami. They keep insisting and insisting that they're not anything but partners in their New York ping pong club, SPiN, as well as ping pong reality show co-developers. Maybe they're opening up a Miami branch? Seriously, there's only so much time you can spend scheming about paddles and balls. [Daily Mail]
- Speculation is still swirling about the tiniest details of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding. Who's planning the damn thing? "William's household is," according to a spokesman. And William's household is led by William's secretary, 50-year-old Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton. Great, a 50-year-old dude is planning the wedding—it's going to be an all-Rod Stewart soundtrack. How about bringing on Lily Allen as a party consultant or something. [People]
- Courtney Love was trying to lease Milla Jovovich's $7.5 million town house in Greenwich Village, but she got beat out by IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond. The Greenwich Village neighborhood council just called off their emergency Courtney Love Mitigation Meeting. [P6]
- Madonna and her boytoy, dancer Brahim Ziabat, were at a pary at the Ava Penthouse Lounge for Madonna's kabbalah teacher. Seems like a strange place for a Jewish mystic to hang out; Madge probably planned the thing. [P6]
- Brooke Mueller is hanging out in a "sober living facility." Surprised it took this long, given that she's had to deal with Charlie Sheen. [Radar]
- In addition to Kate and Will, Nick Lachey and fiance Vanessa Minnillo are also planning their wedding! "I want it to be about her," Nick said. "Any guy will tell you that it's probably more about th e bride than the groom. It's just about celebrating your love for each other." It may be about her, but the wedding DJ will probably play dozens of 98 Degrees songs. [People]
- Jersey Shore's Angelina Pivarnick was attacked in a bar before a celebrity boxing match. By a non-celebrity! Angelina only brawls with other c-listers. [Radar]
- Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight was arrested and released on Thursday night after he failed to appear in court for two traffic tickets. [TMZ]
- Disney star Demi Lovato checked into rehab in October—but not before punching a back-up dancer in the face. TMZ has pictures of Alex Welch's black eye. Ouch. Child star's got a big right hook. [TMZ]
