Was it genuine reconciliation or tasteless famewhoring that had Spencer Pratt tweeting happy birthday to his ex-The Hills co-star Lauren Conrad? More »
The AVN Awards‘ list for “Best Celebrity Sex Tape” includes Tila Tequila, who maybe counts, but not Brittney Jones and Jasmine Waltz! Why didn’t we see a real celebrity-turned-porn-star, like Montana Fishburne or Carrie Prejean? More »
Earlier today, Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of his patient Michael Jackson. The jury called him reckless and unprofessional for prescribing the troubled pop star sleeping pills and pumping him full of the drug propofol. Unfortunately, this sort of caretaker and/or enabler relationship is a common part of Hollywood: Doctors, parents, and hangers-on who encourage celebrities into destructive behavior and often get off clean. Here are six people whose influence was more harmful than helpful. More »
Another day, another batch of photos that make us weep for the preteen Courtney Stodden, who knew nothing about what a strange, twisted person she would become in just a few years. Her mother Krista Stodden maintains that this is what Courtney still looks like without makeup. We don’t believe that—but we were struck by the fact that she resembled several of Hollywood’s young (mostly normal-looking) stars. More »
Ah, the sexy municipal worker — it’s a staple of Halloween. Although sadly, the toll collector and the lunch lady is underrepresented in the costume choices of tipsy women. Indeed, cops and firefighters are the main choices in this category of costumery, which celebs happen to pre quite partial to. Here’s a gallery of famous ladies dressed as sexy do-gooders. More »
It didn’t take long for Courtney Stodden to pull a Heidi Montag: When people called foul on her plastic surgery and breast implants, she decided to throw on a white bathing suit (to remind us she’s a child bride?) and skip along the beach with husband Doug Hutchison. But as we looked through TMZ’s gallery of Courtney’s obviously fake breasts and Skeletor face, we couldn’t help but remember how Heidi has made debuting her various surgeries an art form. So, a side-by-side comparison is in order. More »
Apparently Spencer Pratt is totally broke. Which is a thing that happens when you’ve never actually had a career or any viable talent. Evidently, Spencer calls his agency 30 times a day and they never call him back — which is actually kind of sad. Aw, man. Here’s my imagining of the messages Spencer leaves for his agent, whom I’ve decided to call “Ian” because a kid I went to college with who’s a WME agent now is named that. More »
Holy good god was Heidi Montag shitfaced at her birthday party. The 25-year-old… um, media personality (or whatever you’d call the likes of one such as Heidi) rang in her quarter-decade at the Vegas club Vanity. What an apt name! More »
Happy 25th birthday, Heidi Montag! We’d warn you about those quarterlife crises kids your age go through, but it looks like you managed to do one of those before hitting 25. We know that people mostly look ahead on this auspicious day, but we still really miss the old, cuter Heidi from season 1 of The Hills, before Spencer Pratt and fame inspired her to inflate and tuck her body into a silhouette resembling a Barbie doll. So here’s our gift to you, Heidi: Hindsight. More »
Comedian Joe Mande is a master of the ironic RT. In addition to mocking Ashton Kutcher‘s poor word choice yesterday, he managed to burn both Heidi Montag and Senator David Vitter. Click through for the rest! More »
Can you tell which of these covers are fake? They’re the ones with extra-lurid colors and headlines that any well-informed pop culture fan would know are untrue, though entirely possible. “Urban collective” TrustoCorp is behind this guerilla art project: They sneaked these faux-covers into newsstands in New York, Hollywood, and both towns’ major airports.

Now don’t get too excited: Nothing is set in stone yet. Audrina Patridge was on Ryan Seacrest‘s radio show this morning, where she said that enough time has passed since the series finale of The Hills (in 2010) that she could see herself and the other cast members getting together to do a movie. God knows that creator Adam DiVello — whose only producing credits are within the incestuous web of Laguna Beach, The Hills, and The City — needs the work. And now that Speidi is dead broke and looking for new reality jobs, the stars could have aligned enough to bring about this unasked-for big-screen sequel.
But the truth is, we don’t actually care about Ol’ Ceiling Eyes and her friends. The real stars we want involved are the fake love interests and faker co-workers that populated their tiny world! More »
Come to think of it, we haven’t heard much from Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag lately. Are they vacationing in St. Barts? Getting loads of cash to appear at someone’s birthday party? Actually, no — they’re crashing at Spencer’s parents’ place because they’re dead broke, and bemoaning all of their regrets to The Daily Beast. At least, that’s what they say. Since the article is about how every aspect of their incredibly-public lives has been a sham — they never broke up, for one — it’s tough not to add a huge grain of salt to everything they say. But they claim that they’re living out the dark, attentionless side of reality fame. Here, their mistakes, plus some insights into The Hills and everything that came after. More »
What’s that common saying? “To a brunette, all blondes look alike?” We’re not sure if it’s just our brown hair talking, but we seriously think that child-bride Courtney Stodden looks exactly like every other pseudo-celeb in the world. Check it out: More »
Crystal Harris was supposed to marry Hugh Hefner over the weekend, but the wedding was called off under mysterious circumstances. What could possibly compete with marrying Vigara-soaked sleeze ball more than ten-trillion times your age? Hanging out with Heidi Montag in Vegas. We wonder what these two are talking about — quantum physics? More »
Food Network mainstays Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri recently announced that they’ll be working on a new cooking competition show called Guy vs. Rachael’s Celebrity Smackdown. Fieri, whose fame came from winning season 2 of The Next Food Network Star, explained, “We’re gonna get some celebrities who are gonna come on the show, with different levels of culinary technique and who are into cooking. Rachael’s gonna get five, I’m gonna get five, and it’s gonna be battle royale.” No word yet on who the guests will be, but we’ve got a few suggestions for the booking agent. More »
We talk so much about celebrities’ outrageous tattoos that I figured it was worth searching for actors, musicians, and reality stars who have more lasting impressions on their skin. Some are self-inflicted, others thanks to medicine and diseases alike. But you can bet that we remember each and every one. More »
Remember when Heidi Montag, Jake Pavelka, and Danielle Staub were spotted filming something in L.A.? Well, it wasn’t (only) a publicity stunt – the three reality has-beens are starring in a new Vh1 reality show called Famous Food. The show is about seven “stars” who open a restaurant in West Hollywood together. More »
Clearly, the apocalypse is nigh: the Daily Mail reports that reality show also-rans/professional famewhores Heidi Montag, Danielle Staub, and Jake Pavelka were filming a not-yet-named show together in LA yesterday. More »
Jennifer Aniston Smacks Down Heidi Montag- Despite having a role in Just Go With It, (Why? Just go with it), Heidi Montag wasn’t allowed to walk the red carpet for the film because Jen thought she was “too polarizing.” The best. (Us Weekly)
