Spotted: Russell Brand In His Panties!

• “Bling Ring” cohort Alexis Neiers has been released from prison. Guess the jail couldn’t hold her and Lindsay Lohan on the same cell-block, lest they form a Mean Girls clique and start writing in their burn book about fellow inmates. (E! Online)

• Jennifer Garner rode some horsies with Russell Brand for their upcoming flick, Arthur. They look very much the part of Victorian lovers…hope Ben Affleck and Katy Perry don’t get too jealous. (JustJared)

• True Blood panel at Comic-Con!! But where was Alexander Skarsgard?? (BuzzSugar)

• M. Night Shyamalan told a reporter (and critic of The Last Airbender), “If I thought like you, I’d kill myself.” Is that the twist?! (PopEater)

• And we knew this day would come: Casey Affleck is being sued for sexual harassment by a producer who worked on the Joaquin Phoenix mockumentary. (Gossip Cop)

• Eric Roberts joins Jeremy London, Leif Garrett and Janice Dickinson on Celebrity Rehab. (Huffington Post)

What an old-person joke, Joan Rivers (@Joan_Rivers). We will still watch that show though, because we love you.

This must be some Comic-Con injoke with Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion) and Felicia Day (@FeliciaDay).

Sarah Silverman (@SarahKSilverman) meditates just about as well as we do.

Here's Where Celebs Are Hanging In The Hamptons

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi (@Sn00ki) considered the possibility of a Paranormal Activity sequel?

Frankie Muniz (@frankiemuniz) wondered if the Internet was passé? Guess we’re screwed then?

Not everyone thinks the Internet is over? Emmy Rossum (@emmyrossum) just wants to know how it works?

Why don’t you try IMDB, Adam Levine (@adamlevine)?

How could it be, Lance Bass (@lancebass)?!?!?!?

Okay, at least Russell Brand (@rustyrockets) isn’t asking any questions. But we’d like to ask him…UM, WHAT?

Celeb Tweetup: It's Time To Ask Some Questions

• Hot Hollywood couple Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green seem to get pleasure out of keeping everyone guessing. First, it was are they or aren’t they, then whether or not they were really engaged. Now the couple has reportedly wed in Hawaii. But who knows? (People)
• Chris Klein had been formally charged following his DUI arrest earlier this month. But since his alcohol level was three times the legal limit, he’s been charged with two misdemeanors and could face a mandatory 96 hours in jail if convicted. (TMZ)
• Why Jeremy Piven doesn’t stay far away from sushi restaurants we have no idea. But this time, he’s not suffering from mercury poisoning, but a flushed cell phone. The helpful restaurant staff did pack his phone in rice to help try to dry it out, though. (Page Six)
• Are Katy Perry and Russell Brand already married? He’s calling her his wife — but maybe he’s just getting ahead of himself. (OK! Magazine)
• Lauryn Hill opens up about why she left music for eight years, and the good news is, she’s starting to perform again. (NPR)
• Alice Eve, the braless nanny in Sex and the City 2, is in talks to play the young version of telepath Emma Frost in the X-Men prequel X-Men: First Class. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender have already been cast in the film and Aaron Johnson is rumored to be negotiating a part as Emma’s love interest Cyclops as well. (Movieline)
• Eminem’s drink of choice? Diet coke and Red Bull. (Page Six)
• Tennis star Jennifer Capriati is recovering after a prescription drug overdose on Sunday — reportedly brought on after her porn star ex-boyfriend decided to return to a career of XXX films. (TMZ)
• Alleged international murder Joran van der Sloot is said to be willing to talk to TV interviewers if the price is right. The price? $1 million. Classy. (Popeater)

Crush Links: Megan Fox Got Married?

Post from: Crushable

Doesn’t sound like it though: They both “adore” Lady Gaga because “no one dresses like her anywhere in the civilised world” (right…all those 3rd world countries where people go around dressing like backups in “Bad Romance?”) and have approached her designer Kudo – who created the red latex outfit for Gaga’s “Alejandro” video – to design the form-fitting bondage clothing they will pledge their eternal vows in.

In other news, Katy Perry wants Rihanna to dance at her bachelorette party. Guess now is the time to start calling in those celebrity favors you gained after throwing the best birthday party in the world.

The 12 Celebrities You'll See At a Summer Solstice Party

We love weddings so much that we are always waiting for the next one. Right now the glossy magazines are full of rumors about Reese Witherspoon and her agent boyfriend Jim Toth. We have our fingers crossed for Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger. If we get bored, there’s always Brad and Angelina. Those two could marry any minute!

But, suddenly, celebs are catching on. They know we’re obsessed, and so their weddings have become the perfect publicity stunt. After all, a wedding is perhaps the only place celebs control every detail. They choose and sell the best pictures, they groom the guest list, and, to milk the moment, they keep us hanging on every detail of the planning.

Comedian Russell Brand proposed to singer Katy Perry last December. He was 34, she was 25, and they’d been dating for only four months. The whole thing could have made them both look skeezy. Instead, they worked the media and used their wedding plans to upgrade their celebrity status.

They knew that talking about their nuptials – and each other – would make them into a pop love story. So they’ve doled out details gradually.

In January, Katy confessed she’d read a story online about Russell shopping for a ring, and so ruined his “surprise” proposal. In February, she told Us Weekly they hadn’t ruled out eloping. In April, Katy’s pal Rihanna dished to radio host Ryan Seacrest that the wedding will be in India, and that she’s planning the bachelorette party. In May, Us Weekly ran a picture of the save-the-date card. It was in the shape of a henna-tattooed hand, and told guests to block off an entire week in October, and have their passports ready. Now Katy is showing off a new tattoo, the words “Anuugacchati Pravaha” (Sanskrit for “Go With The Flow”) on the inside of her right arm. Russell has the same ink.

In other words, this engagement has provided the pair with six months of public cuteness – and there are four more to come. Meanwhile, Katy has been voted Maxim’s hottest woman of 2010, she’s hosting the Teen Choice awards, and “California Gurls,” her collaboration with Snoop Dogg, is number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Russell, once known for his drug use and raunchy comedy, is suddenly being called a “famously reformed womanizer” and “more homebody than hedonist” by USA Today. Starring as a heroin addict in the summer comedy Get Him to the Greek, he has used the opportunity to speak seriously about his own recovery. (“I know what it’s like to withdraw from heroin,” he told an interviewer.)

And they aren’t the only celebs who know how to work a wedding. Jane Lynch’s modest nups brought an outpouring of good will for the already popular Glee star. Bethenny Frankel’s new wedding-themed reality show Bethenny Getting Married? drew 2 million viewers, making it the most watched premiere in Bravo history. Almost every week, OK! magazine runs a picture of Carrie Underwood with some maddeningly minor update about her wedding plans with Mike Fisher. (The latest: “Were still working on everything,” she says.)

The prospect of marriage has even made American gossips care about Prince William. In the past month, two covers of Star and one cover of OK! have been devoted to the British monarch’s wedding plans. And he and girlfriend Kate Middleton aren’t even (publicly) engaged.

So if you’re a celeb in need of an upgrade — if your most famous comedy is about shooting up, or your most famous song is about kissing a girl and liking it — consider getting hitched. It will make people love you. It will give you interesting things to say. And soon you’ll be ready for that other major positive press generator.

That’s right. Get ready to sell those baby pictures!
