Lindsay Lohan's And America Ferrera Face Off On 'Ugly Betty'

lepaparazzi — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:32:00 GMT

Lindsay cast mates loath her... Lindsay Lohan is reportedly locked in a power struggle with America Ferrera, causing the actress to be cut from two episodes of Ugly Betty. Lindsay's 'love me' attitude is said to have reared its ugly head on the set of the hit TV show, with the Mean Girls star rubbing her co-stars up the wrong way. A source tells PageSix, "Lindsay would show up every day with an entourage of people. “She smoked 24/7, and after she left, they had to repaint her dressing room it was such a mess." The source adds Lindsay, “refused to go on set until America was there - it was a power play." Yet a close pal of Lindsay blames the lead actress for her cut air time: "America was mean to Lindsay. Producers give her too much power. "Lindsay didn't do the last two episodes because America didn't like her and got her kicked off." Lindsay rep told reporters that the actress was scheduled for six episodes but had a lovely time filming four. Source

Tuneless' Brad Pitt

lepaparazzi — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:26:00 GMT

Edward Norton says Brad Pitt "can't sing", so won't be starring in a musical version of 'Fight Club'. Edward has heard rumours a musical version of the hit 1999 film could be on the cards, but says neither he nor Brad - who played the two lead characters in the movie - will be participating. The 39-year-old actor said: "This has been floating around for a while. I've seen different notions of it. I doubt it'll be me and Brad. I know Brad can't sing." Although he has ruled out starring in the musical, Edward is intrigued by reports Nine Inch Nails star Trent Reznor will be penning the music for it. He said: "Reznor would be about the right vibe for it, I guess." Edward also refused to confirm rumours he will be appearing in 'The Avengers' or a sequel of 'The Incredible Hulk', insisting movie fans will probably find out if he has landed the parts before he does. He told MTV: "I really couldn't say whether I will be reprising the Hulk. The minds of Marvel are sometimes opaque. I won't say obtuse, but opaque. I don't have any idea what they want to do. This notion of connecting the Marvel characters - who knows where they'll go. "I really actually have no information about 'The Avengers'. I don't know what the agenda is in the moment, but I'm sure you'll find out more than me." Source

Guy Ritchie's model lust

lepaparazzi — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:22:00 GMT

Madonna believes Guy Ritchie secretly lusted after his ex-girlfriend during their marriage, it has been claimed. The singer was reportedly plagued by suspicions the British director preferred his former flame Tania Strecker - a 6ft tall model with 37in legs - especially after Tania claimed Guy was still seeing her when he began romancing Madonna. A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Tania is stunning and 15 years younger than Madonna. "Madonna took Guy from Tania, but never really trusted him that he loved her for herself." The 50-year-old singer is believed to have told friends she fears Guy would have remained with Tania if it hadn't been for Madonna's multi-million pound fortune. The source added: "Today she is consumed by the fear that Guy was more interested in her for her money. "And that - if it hadn't been for her fortune - he'd have stayed with Tania rather than marry her." In 2001, Tania claimed her romance with Guy was far from over when he began dating the '4 Minutes' singer in 1999. She also alleged their relationship had only fizzled out "a year ago, a year-and-a-half ago". If Tania's first claim is true they would still have been together just months before Madonna and Guy's star-studded wedding in December 2000. If the second allegation is true, Tania would still have been romancing Guy when Madonna was pregnant with the couple's son Rocco, now eight. When Tania was quizzed on the apparent overlap by radio presenters, she said: "No-one's figured it out so I'm not going to say anything. It might do." Guy has always strongly denied claims he continued his relationship with Tania while dating Madonna. The filmmaker has also been forced to deny reports he cheated on Madonna with "a secret lover" towards the end of their nearly eight-year marriage. His spokesman dismissed the claims as "absolutely untrue". Source

James Bond killed by crunch

lepaparazzi — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 17:08:00 GMT

Daniel Craig says there may not be another James Bond film "any time soon" - because of the credit crunch. The 'Quantum of Solace' actor claims the world's current economic climate is taking its toll on movie producers, who may struggle to find the cash for the next instalment in the spy franchise. He said: "As far as the next film is concerned, there is nothing scheduled. Economically the world is in quite a lot of trouble so who knows if we can afford to do another Bond movie any time soon?" Despite his concerns, Craig would have no hesitation saving the world as 007 again. He said: "I'm quite superstitious and I don't take anything for granted. I'd love to do another one." Craig, 40, has revealed similar character traits between himself and his onscreen hero, saying he could also end someone's life to protect his loved ones. He added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "I would kill for my family, it's as simple as that. And my friends are the most important thing to me."

Paris Hilton has bought a former London brothel. The 27-year-old hotel heiress is thrilled with her £850,000 investment located in the city's famous 'East End' district and has no qualms about the illicit history of the building, which was also a haven for drug users and pirates. Paris said: "It's just beautiful. It doesn't have regular rooms but is more like a maze. "It used to be an opium den and still has iron joists where pirates and thieves were shackled to the wall." The socialite's new home was apparently used by vagabonds and sailors who wanted to indulge in sinful pleasures after months at sea. A source added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Paris really appreciated the quirkiness of the place - and the knockdown price for such a unique building - and immediately put in an offer." Paris, who is currently filming 'Paris Hilton's My New BBF (British Best Friend)' in the UK, has admitted she has fallen in love with the famous city.

Angelina Jolie Risking Her Health To Lose The Baby Weight?

lepaparazzi — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 17:05:00 GMT

In her very own disappearing act... Angelina Jolie is reportedly risking her health - and that of her twins - in a bid to ditch her pregnancy pounds in record time. The mum-of-six appears to have already regained her former svelte figure since giving birth to Knox and Vivienne in July. And, according to a US report, her dramatic weight loss is the result of limiting herself to tiny food portions and gruelling workouts. An insider tells In Touch, "She's been eating three to four tiny meals and working out for an hour or more every day." But it's not only Angelina's health that could be at risk - the twins need their mother's breast milk to be as fatty as possible in order to develop properly. Family physician Dr. Walt Larimore adds, "If someone is taking in fewer calories, their nutrition level is dangerously low. "She'll have vitamin and mineral deficiencies." Let's hope Angie ditches the diet soon. Source
