'Perv Cam' Victim Sienna Miller Fails To Provide Steamy Footage, Again

Douglas Reinhardt · 03/13/08 02:00PM

Oh, Rhys Ifans, we'd probably feel the same way if we had to listen to Sienna Miller talk for three hours straight about being on a perv cam and how much she still hates Pittsburgh and how she was robbed for her work in Factory Girl. Then again, Sienna Miller probably doesn't enjoy Rhys Ifans frequent questions about his hair. "Doesn't this haircut make me look like Rod Stewart? You know, when he was good?"

Cameron Diaz Sets White People Back Another Few Years

Cameron Diaz continues to perform the 'raise the roof' gesture without mocking irony, but with unabashed joy and suggesting that everybody join in with her and yelling, "Can we get a what what?"

No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem

Woody Allen once said that the only cultural advantage of living in Los Angeles is the ability to make a right turn on a red light. Dave Navarro would beg to differ. He'd gladly tell you that being able to go shirtless in a restaurant is a pretty sweet, too. Just ask him.

Lindsay Lohan, Living On The Edge

Why must Lindsay Lohan always dress as if she's Steven Tyler's illegitimate daughter? Sobriety is a good thing and all, but maybe she should save outfits like that for when you're wailing away on "Guitar Hero" in the privacy of your own home.

Eva Longoria Parker Is Not A Very Good Listener

FH: "The kids have got me burning the candle at both ends. It's either they want this or they want that and it always changing. We hate cupcakes. No, we love cupcakes. You know, make up your mind about what kind of treats you want to bring in for your class on your birthday, already? And Bill is no help either. He's been in a funk ever since the Coen Brothers stopped returning his calls. I always tell him that sure they might be geniuses, but they're still creepy. The Coens don't have the market cornered on being creepy geniuses. Then there's my agent. This effin guy keeps on hounding me to do this Zac Efron movie. It's a nice payday, but it doesn't challenge me as an actor. I want to be challenged with my craft. I was nominated for an Oscar! Uff. I don't know anymore, Eva. I really don't know."

He Went Thatta Way

Douglas Reinhardt · 03/06/08 07:45PM

Being an actor is just such a tough job. Finding and reading the right scripts, then working on the project for a couple of months. Then there's the long hours and stretches away from your family. But then it's followed a month and half long vacation to Mexico. Whereas the writer, the lucky one, sits hunched over a laptop racking his or her brain to come up with the next great American catchphrase (let's be honest, will anyone ever top "Your eggo is preggo"?) and then coming home with his or her clothes smelling like Starbucks. And if one is lucky enough to sell the script, there are the endless rounds of notes and rewrites and notes on the rewrite and another round of rewrites. Man, it's so tough to be an actor.

Only 11 More Drinking Days Until St. Patrick's Day

Douglas Reinhardt · 03/06/08 05:10PM

'Tough' guy, musician and Paris Hilton's fake BF du jour Benji Madden has made a few additions to his entourage or, as he likes to call it, the Party Posse. The reasons are two-fold: one, to make him look him taller and two, to make him look even crazier. After all, would you mess with a man that rolls with short people dressed as if every day is St. Patrick's Day?

Angelina Jolie Isn't The Only Celebrity Who Can Pretend To Be Doing Something Important At The UN

Douglas Reinhardt · 03/06/08 02:00PM

Sure, everybody might view Reese Witherspoon as America's sweetheart, but deep down inside her lies Tracy Flick. A Tracy Flick who will come out and go off on any actress that threatens to take parts and awards away from her. Watch your back, Amy Adams. Oh, by the way, if Variety has been wondering who ripped down all those "For Your Consideration" posters, look no further.

Every Cowboy Sings A Sad, Sad Song

Here's how I imagine the greatest moment in the history of Vh1 will go down: One of those strippers on Rock of Love 2 will "accidentally" knock Bret Michaels' ten gallon hat from his melon just a split-second before a sudden gust from the Santa Ana's blows off his Real World-esque bandana, at which point the camera whip pans to finally reveal what lies beneath his formerly infallible do rag. Namely, a patch work of bald spots, hair plugs and horse hair extensions. Mama's fallen angel, indeed. End scene.
