Kid Rock Hospitalized for Dehydration
Kid Rock was rushed to the hospital minutes before he was to head on stage Friday at a music festival in England, according to British press reports.
Organizers of the Download Festival said the rocker, 37, had been hospitalized in Nottingham, which is 99 miles north of London. He was suffering from stomach cramps and dehydration, his spokesman told the music magazine NME.
Rock had been due on the festival’s main stage around 3.30 p.m. Friday, but an announcement came over the public-address system a few minutes before saying Rock was unwell.
He had reportedly attended a late-night event at Central London’s Whisky Mist nightclub that had continued into the early hours of June 13.
The performer had stirred controversy in the U.K. earlier in the week after telling a black interviewer that he thought the confederate flag was “cool”.
Rock also revealed he’s patched up his feud with Tommy Lee after punching the Mötley Crüe drummer at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2007. “We’re friends,” he told The Guardian. “We don’t talk all the time but everything’s good.”
And what about his relationship with his former wife of four months, Pamela Anderson (who is reportedly back together with Lee)? “If I see her, I say hello, but I kind of don’t want to be on that scene.” Rock says. “I touched the stove, it’s f—— hot, I don’t want to touch it any more.”

Tony Romo Speaks Out About Jessica’s Dad
Speaking for the first time about reports that Joe Simpson was interfering with his relationship with Jessica Simpson and his business affairs – and that his parents did not approve of or get along with the Simpson family – Tony Romo released a statement saying, “It’s all laughable.”
Romo, 28, and Simpson, 27, – who spent the past couple of days in Dallas (where they recently had a romantic dinner date), and boarded a plane for a weekend on the West Coast – have been dogged by rumors that her father has been meddling in their nearly seven-month-old courtship.
In his statement, Romo insisted that characterization is “so far from the truth.”
A source also confirmed that Romo’s father, Ramiro, went to the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga., with Joe Simpson earlier this year and “had a great time.”
Pussycat Dolls debut brand new video, and abs.
The Pussycat Dolls launched their new video, When I Grow Up. I watched the video this morning and can honestly say it made me start growing…..up. Of course, Youtube doesn’t have the video anymore because the Pussycat Dolls had the video removed. Lame. Anyways, there is no sign of Britney Spears, as was previously reported. Be thankful, Britney’s abs just can’t compete.
Jessica Simpson loves her meat.
She loves meat, and she loves Tony Romo. Clearly there is a difference between the two: Meat is what’s for dinner, Romo is what’s for first round playoff exits while your hot girlfriend takes the blame. Get it? This is Jessica and Tony over the weekend walking through LAX. I am sure they were getting back from Cabo where Tony tore up Margarita and Karaoke night at Squid Row. Ah the life of an overrated Quarterback!
Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee are going for 801 tries.
Cats have nine lives. Apparently Pam and Tommy Lee have 801 relationship shots.
Rolling Stone says, “Pamela and the kids have moved in with me,” said a beaming Tommy Lee. “It’s awesome, man. It’s definitely working. You can tell on the kids’ faces — they’re happy when we’re together. We’ve only given it a try 800 times — 801, here we go.”
While Tommy Lee could be dating multiple 20 year old bar fly chicks, he decided to go where his heart is and relive old Baywatch days with an aging bull. Oh well Tommy, what can you do?
Angelina Jolie is a freaky deaky…
Yeah, this broad is my type of girl. Angelina Jolie is pregnant and apparently still rockin’ the bedroom with Brad Pitt. She recently expressed that she likes to get really creative and that she feels more like a woman pregnant. By creative, I really hope she means she likes being bound by leather while dressed in a Princess Leah costume. Hey, I’m just sayin….I mean, we were all thinking it, right?
Here is more from Angelina:
It’s great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you’re just so round and full.
Tila Tequila thinks she is a martyr for lesbians.
I annoying were a tangible being, it would come in the form of Tila Tequila. Tila is now professing that she is some beacon of light for lesbians. I am pretty sure most lesbians disdain her, but she still has a sexy body, and well, the world is a very shallow place.
Check out more of what Tila had to say.
Us Magazine says, “It is because of me — I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement. Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships],” she said. “Then they realized, ‘Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.’ The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal.”
Kim and Chloe Kardashian go for a swim.
Kim and Chloe Kardashian did some bikini modeling on their recent Monaco trip. Ah to be two rich and sexy sisters. Looks as though Kim is attempting to dispell rumors that she has a butt insert or pad. My question is, who cares? Her butt looks sexy as hell, lets just move on. I say shake it baby cause you got it. And Chloe looks gorgeous as usual. Oh the things I would do….
Brooke Hogan admits her mom is a whack job.
Well, pretty much she does. All this while she parades around town with her boyfriend as he is dressed as a Cheesecake Factory waiter.
E! Online says, “I’m totally freaked out,” she told E! satellite radio personality Michael Yo during a conversation the two had off air.
“I personally don’t like it at all or condone it, but she’s my mom, so I have to show her support.
“I went to school with him. He was a grade under me…Me and Nick know him well. Me and Nick are two years apart, and he was right between us (in school).”
How much more whack can one family be? I really hope Brooke doesn’t reproduce anytime soon.
Britney Spears text Braveheart for help.
Britney Spears is apparently getting mental help from Mel Gibson. This ongoing newfound relationship between the two can be found, in detail, in Wikipedia under IRONIC.
People says, For more than two-and-a-half hours, the singer, 26, and the actor-filmmaker, 52, met in what was confirmed to PEOPLE as a more of an ongoing guidance session than a business pow-wow.
“Britney looked like a doll with bright red lipstick,” added the photog, who described her as “very quiet” and “with a serious look on her face as she walked in to the Havana Club.”
By contrast, an upbeat Gibson left his silver Lexus with the valet and walked in holding what was described as a “man-purse” up to his face and a look of “okay, you got me” as paparazzi snapped his picture.
When two nuts get together, who is more nuts?
Oh how exciting! Phoebe Price in a bikini!
Wow, the one and only Phoebe Price sporting a bikini and, splish splash, makin’ a splash! I have loved Phoebe ever since I saw her in that one movie. And then there was that one show, that was on the TV. Oh who am I kidding? I have no idea who Phoebe Price is. I guess she is famous. And now she’s in a bikini on the beach Pam Anderson style. So that makes her newsworthy.
Pamela Anderson, ooooh Canada!
Pam Anderson made her presence felt in Canada while attending the Montreal Grand Prix. Can anyone say, attention w$%*&. I can say it, loud and clear. Anyways, the big news here is that as old and wretched as Pam has become, she does still have nipples. So if you are into girls whom still have working nipples, then these pictures are definitely for you. On the same note, if you are into old broads that have been through tons of botox and divorces, well my friend, this entry is for you also.
Tori Spelling might be pregnant.
I mean, she has been eating a lot lately. And, well, she has complained of morning sickness. No, I just don’t buy it! Simply not enough evidence to support Tori Spelling being pregnant. In fact, I guess she actually isn’t pregnant anymore, Baskin Robbins should hold a moment of silence.
People says, Stella Doreen McDermott was born at 3:13 p.m. in a Los Angeles hospital via C-section. She weighed 6 lbs., 8 oz. and was 19 3/4 inches long, a rep for Spelling says.
Rihanna and Mr. Bean on Youtube.
I really don’t know how I feel about this, but this Mr. Bean and Rihanna video is blowing up on Youtube, so I figure it should be discussed.
I think it’s weird. That’s my contribution to the discussion. Anyone remember when Mr. Bean was really funny? Yeah, me neither. Anyone still think Rihanna is sexy has all hell? Yeah, as do I.
For your viewing pleasure.
I think it’s weird. That’s my contribution to the discussion. Anyone remember when Mr. Bean was really funny? Yeah, me neither. Anyone still think Rihanna is sexy has all hell? Yeah, as do I.

Jessica Alba gives birth to a baby girl.
Hopefully she gets the same genes as her mother. Come on now, you were thinking the same thing.
Us Magazine says, She was born this weekend at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Alba’s father was overheard saying “she’s beautiful.” Warren — in a T-shirt, jeans and baseball cap — was spotted carrying food into the maternity ward Sunday. Her rep had no comment.
Well, the good news is that Jessica can finally hit the stairmaster now and get back into her old form, or something near it. The bad news is that Cash Warren is now linked to her for life, even if they do end up in the throws of a Hollywood divorce. Douchebags know how to make an entrance, I guess.

Kellie Pickler & Taylor Swift Team Up for New Song
Kellie Pickler is teaming up with fellow country star Taylor Swift for a new song on the former Idol’s upcoming album.
On the track, the singers mine some ex-boyfriend territory for a get-back tune called “Best Days of Your Life.” Although Pickler is mum about exactly which ex the song refers to, she says, “You have to be careful when you date a songwriter. We always get the last word!”
Swift will join her in the studio to record harmonies on the song.
Pickler, 21, calls Swift, 18, a positive influence. “When I hang out with Taylor, I don’t get in any trouble,” Pickler said Thursday. “On New Year’s Eve, we baked cakes and she taught me the Soulja Boy dance in her kitchen. Her dancing has really improved.”
The two will be spending even more time together as the co-hosts – along with Julianne Hough – of the CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock, a two-hour special compiling performance highlights from a festival line-up that includes Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland, Carrie Underwood, Trace Adkins and Billy Ray Cyrus. The show is set to air Sept. 8.
Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish Step Out
Two months after admitting it was bizarre seeing ex-wife Reese Witherspoon with Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Phillippe is quietly moving things forward in his own love life.
After months of speculation about their relationship, he proudly accompanied his Stop-Loss costar Abbie Cornish to the 2008 Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards – their first major event as a couple.
“They were adorable,” says a guest. “He had his arm around her and they were cozy and comfortable.”
When Cornish – who was being honored with a Breakthrough Award – was introduced, Phillippe rubbed her back while she leaned against his shoulder. Throughout the evening, they held hands.
Phillippe, 33, also let Cornish enjoy her moment in the spotlight, waiting patiently as she worked the room and posed for photos. Once she was at his side once again, they continued to share laughs with pals.
The secret to Cornish’s appeal? “We needed a girl who could knock back and drink the guys under the table, change a blown tire, whatever she needs to do,” their Stop-Loss director, Kimberly Pierce, says. “And she has that. She’s that kind of girl.”
A second Breakthrough Award went to actress Mia Wasikowska for her work in the HBO series In Treatment.
Phillippe and Cornish left the party just before 10 p.m., heading to Hennessy’s weekly jazz night at Teddy’s.
Michelle Williams Helps Fund Heath Ledger Scholarship
It’s been five months since Heath Ledger’s shocking death at age 28. But the young actor was still very much on the minds of his colleagues at Thursday night’s Australians in Film 2008 Breakthrough Awards in Beverly Hills.
The emotional highlight of the evening came when Gregor Jordan – who became good friends with Ledger after directing him in 1999’s Two Hands – announced the formation of a Heath Ledger scholarship fund to help struggling Australian actors.
Long before the success of Brokeback Mountain, the director recalled, Ledger was just “your old, broke Aussie actor.” Once, things got so bad, in fact, Jordan said he had to loan his friend a few hundred bucks.
“The first thing he does with the money is go into a bar and buy everyone … a round of drinks,” remembered Jordan, who also worked with Ledger on Ned Kelly. “It is that generosity that somehow sums Heath up. When he had nothing, he still found a way to give to others.”
A Generous Heart
While details of the scholarship are still “a little sketchy,” Jordan admitted, the plan is to select one young Australian actor each year and give him or her the chance to “crack it” in Hollywood. (The first scholarship is due to be awarded in 2009.)
“It’s going to involve a number of benefactors and there’s been a lot of interest already,” the director explained. His voice cracking with emotion, he added: “I was talking to Michelle Williams, his partner and the mother of his child, today and Michelle has said she would be very proud and happy to be the first benefactor.”
At that pronouncement, the crowd erupted in loud applause.
Although Ledger’s father, Kim, could not attend, he did ask for a letter to be read aloud. “We know that Heath would be proud of his attachment to this scholarship,” wrote the surviving Ledger. “[It] does what Heath has done personally during the last 10 years …, [supporting] Australian actors, singers, directors or writers who seek to supply their talents to the U.S.A.”
One of the night’s honorees, Abbie Cornish, also paid tribute to Ledger, her costar in 2006’s Candy. “Heath’s a magical guy,” she said. “Really incredible in every way – as a human being and as an artist.”
Carmen Electra Says Their is So Much Pressure for Wedding
Is Carmen Electra getting cold feet about walking down the aisle with guitarist Rob Patterson?
Well, not exactly, though the actress-model complains about the constant barrage of questions about their impending plans.
“It’s funny, everyone else puts so much pressure, [asking], ‘When are you getting married?’ ” Electra said at the Dodge Celebrity Challenger event at California’s Willow Springs Raceway. “If it was up to everybody else, we’d be married and divorced already.”
The couple, who became engaged in Las Vegas during her 36th birthday weekend, have been busy traveling from Dubai to New Orleans and then to Boston to meet Patterson’s parents.
For the record, the prospective bride and groom are completely content with their leisurely trip to the altar. Says Electra, “We’re taking it slow, and we’re happy.”
Vin Diesel Becomes a Father
Vin Diesel and his girlfriend, model Paloma Jimenez, have quietly become parents of a baby girl, his rep confirmed.
Diesel, 40, and Jimenez welcomed their first child on April 2.
Diesel is currently shooting and producing Fast and Furious, due out June 2009, and will next be seen starring in Babylon AD on August 29.
Just one question. How did they keep this so secretive?

Dina Lohan Says Lindsay Went to ER for Asthma
Lindsay Lohan went to the hospital on Thursday night because she was having an asthma attack, her mom said.
“She was losing oxygen. She couldn’t breathe,” Dina Lohan says about her 21-year-old daughter, whose emergency room trip with deejay Samantha Ronson was photographed. On Friday, the star’s rep claimed that she went to the hospital to visit a friend.
“She was afraid to go the hospital because [the paparazzi] were gonna write about it. She was sick,” the elder Lohan adds at an event for Project Cuddle. “If you were sick, and you’re mother couldn’t even take you to a hospital because paparazzi will fabricate some story, you know, it’s sad. It’s really sad.”
But Dina says Lindsay’s lucky to have Ronson by her side, telling PEOPLE, “Samantha is an angel.”
Charlie Sheen & Brooke Mueller Get Married
Charlie Sheen married real estate investor Brooke Mueller at a private estate in Los Angeles on Friday.
“They’re well matched and incredibly happy,” says a friend of the couple.
Mueller, 30, and Sheen, 42, exchanged vows in front of about 60 close friends and family. The bride wore a Reem Acra gown. Among the guests were Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane and actress Rebecca Gayheart, who first introduced the couple in 2006.
“Brooke really wanted to walk down the aisle in a big way, but Charlie insisted they keep it simple and small,” says a source.
The Two and a Half Men star proposed to Mueller in Costa Rica last June, presenting her with a $500,000 custom-designed 11-carat yellow diamond and platinum ring from jeweler Lord Alon Barak.
The newlyweds are expected to attend the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles on Saturday, an event where they made their first public appearance as a couple two years ago.
In lieu of wedding gifts, the newlyweds have asked guests to donate to the Chrysalis: Changing Lives Through Jobs charity and to Pugs ‘N Pals, a dog rescue charity.
As for their future, Sheen and Mueller are eager to start a family, according to an insider. “Brooke is hoping to get pregnant very soon,” says the friend.
Sheen is dad to three daughters already: Sam, 4, and Lola, 2, with ex-wife Denise Richards, and Cassandra, 23, with ex-girlfriend Paula Profitt.
J.Lo & Marc Anthony ‘Figuring Out’ Baby Duty
Jennifer Lopez is in “mommy mode” and loving it, husband Marc Anthony says.
“She’s such an amazing mom and I’m so proud of her. She’s such a gem to watch,” singer Anthony told The Billy Bush Show Thursday.
The couple’s “big and gorgeous” twins, Max and Emme, were born Feb. 22 by a Caesarean section, and are cared for by Lopez, 38, and hubby– without the help of a nanny, Anthony, 39, revealed.
“It’s just us, man. We’re figuring it out and having a great time,” he said. “She expects me to help and she makes no bones about it. I get the late shift. I get literally from 10 on because we don’t have a nanny. It’s just me and Jennifer figuring it out. From 10 p.m. to 8 [a.m.], that’s my shift.”
Anthony, who is touring the country for a campaign against childhood obesity, added that Lopez has three movies lined up and is eager to go back to work, but “the babies have been a blessing all the way around and she’s just amazing.”
Ashlee and Pete Wentz Confirm Pregnancy
Newlyweds Ashlee and Pete Wentz have confirmed that they are expecting their first child.
“While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child,” they wrote on Wentz’s site, friendsorenemies.com. “This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.”
After getting married in L.A. on May 17, the couple honeymooned in Turks and Caicos.
The bride, who has changed her name to Ashlee Wentz but will go by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz professionally, said after the wedding, “I would love to have a big family one day.”
Added her new husband: “A big soccer team or a band!”
Jessica Alba is Getting Ready for Baby
Jessica Alba, who is expecting her first child in June, did some shopping for her soon-to-be-born baby Thursday afternoon in Beverly Hills.
“She was picking up last-minute essentials,” says a source, of the actress who was shopping at baby store Bel Bambini, where she is registered. “She was so excited and said she was due any minute! She just seemed relaxed and ready to welcome home her baby.”
Accompanied by a friend, Alba, 26, picked up items such as Born Free baby bottles, a Boppy breastfeeding pillow, a Tiny Love mobile, Sage Creek organic crib sheets and organic baby clothing from Kicky Pants and Pixie Lily. Alba, who is expecting a girl also bought baby headbands and hair clips.
The actress quietly married Cash Warren at the Beverly Hills courthouse on May 19. The two met while working on Fantastic Four and were engaged last December.
Supernanny is More Than Happy To Help Britney Spears
She’s no stranger to strangers’ homes – but now Supernanny Jo Frost has her eyes on a high profile family: the Spears clan.
In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Frost offers her childrearing expertise to Britney Spears. “I do believe she loves her children very much and I’d be more than happy to help her,” she says in an interview scheduled to air Friday.
“To be able to put her on the right track and feel more empowered as a parent.” Frost adds, “Importance in motherhood is about really relating to other mothers, being able to have support groups and it’s about Britney being in a place where she’s feeling secure and confident in herself, so that she is able to take care of her little ones and give them what they need from her, which is their mother around.”
Frost’s hit ABC show takes to her people’s homes across the country, where she helps parents deal with their children’s behavioral issues. Frost tells ET the key to her advice comes from imbuing parents with “the confidence to raise their baby in a healthy and content way.”
Madonna is Finalizing Adoption
Madonna’s dream of adopting David Banda from Malawi has come true.
The High Court in the Malawi capital Lilongwe granted the singer, 49, permanent adoption order for the 2-year-old toddler on Wednesday. In his one-hour ruling, Justice Andrew Nyirenda said he is satisfied that Madonna and her British filmmaker husband Guy Ritchie “are perfect parents” for the toddler.
“I have examined the two reports by the guardian and I am satisfied David has found a good home,” he said.
Nyirenda said by his ruling, David’s biological father, Yohane Banda, forfeits all rights to the toddler.
“I am glad this is over now. I am happy for David,” his father said Wednesday. Banda, 33, who ekes out a living growing maize, tomato and onions, said his family will meet and plan a celebration.
Malawian lawyer Alan Chinula said that Madonna was “over the moon” when he told her about the success of her adoption Wednesday.
“She told me she was anxiously waiting for the news,” he said. “She is relieved and thanks the people of Malawi for allowing them to be family.”
Will Smith Says Divorce Is Not An Option
Ellen DeGeneres clearly has marriage on her mind.
The talk show host – who plans to wed girlfriend Portia de Rossi and has talked nuptials with recent guests John McCain and Jenna (Bush) Hager – was back to bride-talk with Will Smith.
On Monday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, DeGeneres noted that Will and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, have been married for 10 years, unheard of in Hollywood. “It’s like dog years when you’re married here,” she said. “That’s like 50 years, right?
“What I found is divorce just can’t be an option,” the actor explained. “It’s really that simple. And I think that’s the problem with L.A. – there are so many options. So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options.”
The secret to their success? “We’re like listen, we’re going to be together one way or the other so we might as well try to be happy,” he said.
DeGeneres also suggested that Smith consider politics for his next project – and join Barack Obama as his running mate.
“I do think about [running for office] sometimes,” Smith admitted. “Right up until that Monday after the movie opens and I have a 100-percent approval rating. No politician is ever going to have that!”
Gwen & Gavin Throw Son a Star-Studded Birthday Bash
It was a who’s who of celebrities – and their babies – at Kingston Rossdale’s second birthday party.
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale threw their son an animal-themed bash at their Studio City, Calif., house on Sunday – one day before his actual birthday. The fete drew 40 friends, including Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and daughter Harlow, as well as Victoria Beckham and son Cruz, and Christina Aguilera, husband Jordan Bratman and son Max.
The family’s backyard was outfitted with small safari animals and multicolored balloons. There was also a pony for the children to ride. And a big moon bouncer kept everyone – adults and their kids – entertained.
At one point, Rossdale and the birthday boy joined several of the younger guests in the moon bouncer, while a pregnant Stefani bonded with Richie’s daughter, an eyewitness says.
Victoria Beckham seemed to enjoy the party as well, kicking off her heels to play with her son, who sported a monkey costume. “She took her shoes off and walked around the backyard with bare feet,” the eyewitness reports, noting that Cruz especially loved the pony, riding it around the backyard several times.
The following day, Stefani and her husband celebrated their son’s birthday again – with a little quality time on a Malibu beach.
Kirsten Dunst Breaks Silence on Rehab
Kirsten Dunst is opening up about her stint at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah earlier this year, saying that she sought help for depression, not for drug or alcohol abuse.
“I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself,” Dunst, 26, tells E! Online. “I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too.”
In February, Dunst checked into the same posh facility where Lindsay Lohan and Eva Mendes have been treated.
“She does drink and she does have wild nights, but that was never the root of her issues,” a source close to Dunst says. “She couldn’t control her depression.”
When Dunst entered rehab in February, another friend says that the actress had been feeling low for some time. “She’s been crying a lot lately, ” said the friend. “Everybody hits that bottom where you feel [so] scared that that one heavy night of partying can really wake you up. It’s good she’s getting herself help.”
As for why she decided to talk about her struggles now, Dunst tells E!, “Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something … Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.”
Brooke Hogan Uninjured in Car Accident
The Hogan family was involved in another car accident Sunday, when Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke’s car was hit and pushed into a concrete wall by a man witnesses said was speeding.
No injuries were reported to either Brooke Bollea, 20, her female passenger, or to the 19-year-old man in the car that hit Bollea’s on the Bayside Bridge in Clearwater, Fla., according to a release from the Florida Highway Patrol. No charges have been filed in the accident.
Bollea’s 2008 four-door Mercedes had $3,000 damage done to it, according to the release.
A rep for the Hogan family had no comment.
Bollea credited the use of seatbelts for keeping her and her passenger uninjured.
“I don’t know if you heard, but my friend and I got into a really bad car accident today ourselves . . . As I turned on my car I clicked my seatbelt. As we pulled out onto the road, I looked over and realized my friend didn’t have her seatbelt on. I reminded her to put it on and the minute she clicked it, a car crashed into us,” Boella wrote in a MySpace post. “It was a horrible car accident, one that most would be severely hurt in, but we had our seatbelts on and they kept us in tight.”
The friend, who calls herself lala on her Myspace page, posted the following: “..Brooke Hogans my hero, thank you for saving my life! Everyone wear your seat belts.”
Brooke made reference to the accident her brother Nick was in last August, which left his friend John Graziano critically injured. Nick Bollea, 17, was sentenced to eight months in jail earlier this month after pleading no contest to charges of felony reckless driving in connection to that crash.
Hulk Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea) and Brooke’s mom Linda were both spotted Sunday at the scene of Brooke’s accident.
The accident was first reported by the St. Petersburg Times.
Kim Kardashian & Reggie Bush Host White Party
Kim Kardashian’s got her own white party in the Hamptons.
Traditionally, Diddy’s famous Hamptons white party takes place at his house in East Hampton at the end of the summer, but last season he also presided over a season-opener at The White House, a sprawling nightclub in Hampton Bays.
But this year, Kim Kardashian, in a form-fitting white dress by Herve Leger, and boyfriend Reggie Bush, also in all white, headlined the event.
“White is actually one of my favorite colors,” Kardashian said while hanging out in the raised VIP section of the club. “I have a white car. I love white. When the opportunity came up to be in the Hamptons – I’d never been in the Hamptons before – and to host a white party at the White House, it just seemed right.”
Though Bush is said to be camera shy, at least twelve photographers and two video crews were snapping photos of the pair as they danced on the floor and hung out in the VIP section.
“I’m not doing interviews,” Bush said. But he let Kardashian speak for him.
“His training camp starts in a week in New Orleans and he just started his mini camp, so he has the next few days off before he buckles down,” she said.
What makes him a good boyfriend? “The fact that he came with me all the way to the Hamptons on his day off when all of his friends are in Las Vegas on their usual – you know, [getaway].”
As for the sparkling ring she was wearing, Kardashian said, “I’m about two months pregnant right now and we’re getting married on August 8th of 2008.”
Bush appeared stricken until she added, “It’s a joke.” But the possibility is still very real. When asked if she’d like to have kids one day and get married, Kardashian said, “Yes, of course. I’d love to get married.”
And then on cue, for photographers, she and Bush smooched on the lips.
Jessica & Tony’s Dinner Date in Dallas
On Saturday, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo looked every bit the happy couple at N9NE Steakhouse in Dallas. “They were holding hands, in a good mood and happy,” a source said. “They looked like they were on a date together.”
The public display of affection was in keeping with the couple’s last high profile date – Simpson’s sister Ashlee’s wedding, where they were “kissing and holding hands throughout the night.”
Simpson and Romo shared a cozy corner booth in the restaurant where they “looked happy and were laughing and smiling,” the source said.
Romo ate a Kobe burger while Simpson tucked into a steak.
They also ran into Romo’s Dallas Cowboys teammate Isaiah Stanback and his parents, and “stopped to say hello to a guest on their way out and played with her beautiful baby girl,” before leaving together, all smiles.
Carmen Electra Hopes To Be a Mom ‘Someday’
Carmen Electra may be completely smitten with her fiancé Rob Patterson, but she says motherhood can wait – for now.
“I hope to be a mom some day, but I’m not rushing to be one,” Electra said at Shrine at MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Connecticut. “It would be a lot of fun. A lot of hard work, but I’ll look forward to it someday.”
The bombshell took a detour from filming her latest movie Mardi Gras in New Orleans to meet Patterson’s parents. “They’re really cool,” she says. “We had a great day today and . . . we’re looking forward to doing some dancing then going straight back to New Orleans.”
She may be getting back to work on her movie, but that’s not the only project Electra, 36, has in the works. She will be releasing her own new line of portable stripper poles so ladies can get a work out Carmen style. “They’re so much fun,” she says. “I actually put one up in my living room with the help of a girlfriend.”
“Pole dancing really isn’t as easy as it looks,” she adds. “I’m still taking pointers. It’s a good workout.”
Patrick Swayze & Wife Lisa Catch a Lakers Game
Patrick Swayze and his wife Lisa were two famous faces in the crowd Friday as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs 101-71 during Game 2 of the NBA Western Conference playoff series at L.A.’s Staples Center.
Swayze, 55, revealed in March that he has pancreatic cancer. But last month the star of Dirty Dancing and Ghost released a statement with his wife, saying his treatment is going well. “We’re thrilled and grateful for the positive response Patrick has shown towards his treatment,” the couple said.
“He has very strong willpower and he’s a very determined individual,” his sister-in-law Dr. Maria Scouros, a Houston oncologist, said at the time. “He’s bringing all that energy to bear on it.”
Joel Madden Says Baby Harlow Likes The Cure
Nursery rhymes are fine, but baby Harlow “likes The Cure,” proud papa – and weekend DJ – Joel Madden says.
Madden, whose daughter with Nicole Richie, Harlow Winter Kate Madden, was born in January, jetted to the Hamptons for Memorial Day Weekend to spin records at La Playa in Southampton, but he’s not sticking around.
“The Hamptons are definitely a good place to hang out for the whole summer,” he said. “But I’m a dad now. I’d be staying if I didn’t have the girls at home. That’s why I’m going home.”

The crowd at La Playa “went nuts for Justin Timberlake, and for [Black Kids]’ ‘I’m Not Going to Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance,’ Madonna, and Prince,” he said.
But for Harlow, Madden has a different playlist that includes “a lot of Disney stuff and classical. She likes Good Charlotte. And she likes her granddad [Lionel Richie]’s music. She likes old stuff. She’s a Cure fan … She likes The Cure.”
According to Madden, Harlow already moves to the music. “Oh, yeah,” he said. She kicks her legs.”
It’s no wonder Madden says one of his favorite things to do with Harlow is “listen to music and change diapers.”
Brody Jenner is No Serial Dater
Brody Jenner may be known for the ladies he dates, but whatever you do, don’t call The Hills star a womanizer.
“Just because I date just like everyone else does, for some reason they say I’m a serial dater,” he said at Shrine at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Connecticut. “I think that’s very disrespectful to say because I was raised by my mother and I treat women with respect.”
The bachelor says he’s only doing “what every 24-year-old kid would do in my position.”
As for his ex Cora Skinner, Jenner says, “Cora is special to me. We still hang out. We’re trying to work things out still.”
The Hills is currently filming their fourth season and Brody says there’s plenty of drama to come, but it won’t be between him and former best bud, Spencer Pratt.
“Obviously our friendship will never be the same as it was, but I’ve never had anything bad to say about him. I love Spencer and I always will as a friend,” Jenner said.
But when asked whether they planned on working on future projects together, such as a rumored upcoming reality show, he said no.
“We’re going to work on our friendship and hopefully we’ll get back to where we were. We’re not back to being best buds and running around like we used to.”
Kate and Lance Dance and Kiss in Cannes
Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong only had eyes for each other at Dolce & Gabbana’s annual party in Cannes Friday.
The pair kissed and danced to old Madonna songs and other ’80s favorites. “They were beaming at each other,” a source tells says. “So cute.”
In a VIP room so packed that Petra Nemcova couldn’t get in, Hudson and Armstrong chatted briefly with Cannes juror Natalie Portman, who was holding hands with her folk-rocker beau Devendra Banhart. (Unlike all the other female celebrity guests, Portman wore Chanel because she decided to come to the party at the last minute.)
Other guests at the packed party, held at Baoli restaurant and club, included Lindsay Lohan (who made a brief appearance in the briefest of green dresses), Rose McGowan (who partied until 5:30 am, broken foot and all), Kerry Washington, Naomi Campbell, Dita von Teese and Diddy.
