Paris Hilton is petitioning Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to get out of her 45-day jail sentence.
SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - Paris Hilton is actually turning to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for help squirming out of her 45-day jail sentence. The heirhead, who is appealing the case, linked from her MySpace page to a petition that says she “provides hope for young people all over … the world” and implores the Governator to pardon her. Puh-leeze!
Madonna may be on brink of divorce
According to a new report in a U.K. tabloid, Madonna’s marriage to Guy Ritchie is hanging by a thread, with the couple making a last-ditch effort to salvage things through counseling. One source tells News of the World, “They’re in total meltdown and row nonstop whenever they see each other.”
Madonna’s plan for a second adoption is allegedly a major issue for Guy. The backlash when they brought baby David home from Malawi strained their marriage, so “when she mentioned doing it all again, he went ballistic,” one friend says.
Another Guy pal describes his resentment at living in a superstar’s shadow. “Guy is a big talent in his own right, but worries he is turning into Mr. Madonna,” confides the insider. “His career hasn’t exactly blossomed since Madge came on the scene.”
True that. But considering the British press likes to break up Madonna and Guy about as often as the U.S. tabloids break up Brangelina, we’re not believing this story until papers are filed.
Angie: Audi?
Speaking of which: This week, it’s Life & Style that has declared Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt kaput. The tabloid claims the Oscar-winning actress announced to a friend, “It’s over. It wasn’t meant to be.”
The mag says that Angie’s solo trip to the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC, to promote her new film “A Place in Time,” opened her eyes to how much she enjoys being in a Brad-free zone. Another Angie pal reportedly revealed to L&S, “The whole time Angie was away from Brad, she felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of her shoulders. She told me, ‘I’m looking forward to having that freedom.’”
While Papa Pitt cared for their four children back at home in Los Angeles, his significant other allegedly flirted up a storm — even, as Scoop! recently reported, giving rumored ex Olivier Martinez a lap dance.
Hmmm. … See above item re: taking this tale with a grain of salt.
Hoff: Cut Off
At a Monday hearing in L.A., David Hasselhoff’s visitation rights to his two daughters were cut off until May 21, when a follow-up hearing is set. In the meantime, he may still talk with the girls on the phone.
Estranged wife Pamela Bach had filed an emergency order to keep David from seeing Taylor Ann, 16, and Hayley, 14, after a videotape shot by Taylor Ann surfaced showing the former “Baywatch” star apparently stinking drunk. After the incident, David admitted to being a recovering alcoholic who had a brief relapse.
“This videotape changes the landscape, it just does,” Judge Mark Juhas avowed.
According to People magazine, Pamela’s celebrity lawyer, Debra Opri, wants David ordered into rehab as a precondition for seeing his children.
Love and the City
Monday, actor Nick Cannon got engaged to his girlfriend of three months, Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks, with a pretty grand gesture — his proposal was broadcast on a giant screen in Times Square.
The couple had just left a gala at the Met Costume Institute when a chauffeured Rolls-Royce whisked them to the iconic NYC location. There, MTV’s Jumbotron displayed the words “Selita, will you marry me?” as Nick dropped to one knee and presented the beauty with a 12-carat canary yellow diamond ring. (Dreamy sigh ….)
The newly betrothed duo after-partied at nightclub Butter, where they met Selita’s family and friends, who had been secretly flown in by the future groom. Well played, Nick!
“I feel great!” he gushed to Us magazine’s Web site at the party. “It all went off as good as planned. I am so happy!”
Selita chimed in: “I have been smiling so much my cheeks hurt. The ring is so beautiful. I was so surprised.”
It’s nice to know some guys still know how to do romance right. Congratulations to the happy couple.

PLEEASE do some stuff on the economic crisis!!! The people need to know the truth....they dont want us to even think the corn will come up in Kansas if we dont mortgage our souls for the benefit of the wealthy investors. Its total scare tactics. AND who would be stupid enough to allow the people who broke the system to try and fix it??!! You may be the only publication on the planet that could save us from these crooks, bound with the end of our society as we know it and allow this unrepayable debt to occur. The essence of the exercise is to bring us to our knees so we will have to agree to join the 'One World Order' so that we may have some of our debt forgiven. The grand plan is working for them but means doom for us folks who pay the bills. Enquirer...please!!!

How can one contact Jennifer Aniston. My advice would be to have the children she wants now. Then look for a man as she is going to approach a relationship with hopes for children and many men will feel that that is the motivation for the relationship. I generally do not favor having children outside of marriage but in this case, Jennifer can support any future children and then take her time to meet a man with whom she would like to share her life and be a father to her children. Best of luck to Jen. Oyster (mother of four pearls of girls).

I'm very glad Paris isn't going to go to jail for long. She doesn't deserve the pinishment anyway. She didn't do anything wrong and if she did she would apologize and that would be that. She is so sweet and beautiful and cool. I can't wait to see her on tv again!

Sadly, Lindsay Lohan looks twice her age. If she understood that she will look 50 by the time she is 30, she might consider slowing down on her party life. She used to be so cute, it really makes me sad.

Unfortunately, in todays American 'pop culture' television, coming together doesn't mean what you think it means. TV execs want 'edgy' controversial hosts because the bottom line is viewers. The View has very high ratings because people tune in to see what ridiculous thing Rosie is going to say. I don't even think she really believes half of what she says. If you want balance what c-span...'yawn'

This wasn't even Jake and Reese...this was Jake and an assistant, whose name is apparently Valerie, and who kind of resembles Reese. She picked him up at Burbank airport on that Friday night (see Just Jared for pics) and they were driving back to the LA side of the hill.

No way! When will The View find an intelligent woman with values to fill Rosie's position? Smart intelligent remarks and discussions are missing, we don't need "smart ass" remarks. When will we start coming together to solve the problems? As a woman, I am sometimes embarrassed at who we have representing the female gender. Why does someone have to always be wrong? I am ready to see "people", not democrats or republicans, come together to solve the issues. Have we forgotten how to do that?
