[Video] Hilary Duff Lashes Out Aganist Faye Dunaway

Hilary Duff is probably embarrassed and shocked after Faye Dunaway dissed her upon learning the actress/singer would be playing the part of Bonnie in an upcoming remake of the 1967 movie.

Dunaway played Bonnie the first time around and thinks it is laughable that Duff landed the latest role. She is quoted as saying, “Couldn’t they at least cast a real actress?”

Well Hilary isn't pleased with Dunaway going public with her opinion, so she had a few words of her own when talking with E! recently.

In the above video she says, “I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don’t even know who she is.” She adds hastily, ”I think it was a little unnecessary, but I might be mad if I looked like that now, too.”

Chris Sligh and Gossip Blog 'ONTD' Don't Like Each Other

There's a spat going on over at the gossip blog ONTD, and American Idol's Chris Sligh is the focal point.

As the story goes, Chris was 'bragging' to people online about how many hits his blog gets and so someone over at ONTD commented by saying that it's probably ONTD sending the traffic by mocking him.

Well, Chris didn't take that so well and responded with this on TWOP..

"Well, thanks for the hits, Mandee. Though I do have to point out that most days there isn't a Chris Sligh post, so I doubt that's absolutely true. I check it daily, believe me, I know. Also, I can tell where traffic is coming from, and though there are a few hits per day, the majority of hits do not come from that. Granted, people might actually learn the address and skip ontd altogether. But I have a feeling people actually find the site enjoyable. Maybe I'm delusional.

I'm glad you're proud of ontd...they're great, if greatness is equated with sitting on the sidelines critiquing people more famous than them. But hey I guess somebody has to do it. They're great at what they do,

By the way, what is the average age of the editors of ontd? Just wondering for my own satisfaction.

Very soon, as you guys have pointed out, I'll no longer be a celebrity and there'll be no need for posting about me.

Until then,
Peace and love,
Chris "

Paula Abdul and Publicist End Relationship on Sour Note

Paula Abdul recently told a group of publicists during a conference call that she had been treated unfairly by her publicist, Howard Bragman.

According to the New York Post, Bragman mysteriously stopped working for Abdul earlier this month.

Paula told the group, "I've never been treated this way and I've never seen anybody treated this way. This is just too much to stomach. All I've ever wanted in my life is to be treated fairly and be treated with kindness. The people who are supposed to take care of these things do not. I have to clean up after them everywhere they go. And I'm tired of it."

Paula also said that her former publicist called her a "whining bitch".

"I don't understand how this man can call me a whining bitch. I've never in my life been called a whining bitch and a loser."

She went on to state that Bragman said she was "too old" to do cover shoots, and that he wasn't there when she needed him.

"Howard Bragman, he did some disgusting behavior. I had to go to Jimmy Kimmel with no publicist there. I go on with no publicist there and I pay this man."

Paula went on to tell the publicists that she's "been going through a difficult time" and explained to them her medical problems with Addison's Disease.

So what does Bragman have to say for himself?

"I'm not going into it. I'll stand by my reputation if she'll stand by hers."

Mischa Barton and Victoria Silvstedt Fight in Cannes

Mischa Barton and Victoria Silvstedt got into a heated catfight at a Cannes party on Tuesday.

The two women arrived at the upscale bash together but were soon after at each others throats.

Mischa was reportedly bothered by Victoria following her around like a puppy dog and tried to shake her off to Silvstedt's dismay.

Victoria was overheard yelling, "Where the hell are you going now? Why do you keep walking away from me?"

Mischa snidely responded, "We're not even going in the same direction. We're not going to the same place."

For the rest of the evening the pair mingled with other party guests including Naomi Campbell, Eva Mendes, Kid Rock and Beyoncé.

Things escalated at 4am when Mischa bumped into Victoria as she went to leave the party.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Mischa was fed up of Victoria's whining and was telling her to move on. But Victoria completely lost it. Just as Mischa was leaving she shouted, 'There goes the bitch! There goes the bitch!'

"It was highly embarrassing."

Lily Allen Responds to Her MySpace Breakdown

Lily Allen took a photograph of herself and wrote a sob story on her MySpace page a few days ago saying that she was 'fat, ugly' and 'sh*ttier than Amy Winehouse'.

Well this week Lily must be feeling better because she has come forth with her reasons behind her online meltdown.

"I think I was just having a hard time last week. After reading Cheryl Tweedy's comments branding me a 'chick with a d**k' I was feeling pretty low.
"I know I've said bad things about people in the past but this I mean… I may not be as pretty as (Cheryl) but at least I write and sing my own songs without the aid of autotune.

"I must say taking your clothes off, doing sexy dancing and marrying a rich footballer must be very gratifying, your mother must be so proud, stupid bitch.

"Seeing my picture in so many newspapers next to Kate Moss made me feel grotesque momentarily. I guess it shows how much of an effect the media can have on us young ladies."

Denise Richards Talks About Scrutiny Over Her and Richie Sambora's Relationship

Denise Richards says that she is surprised at how people reacted to her and Richie Sambora's relationship after her divorce to Charlie Sheen.

Sambora was previously married to Richards' 'best' friend, Heather Locklear. When both marriages crumbled, it was Denise and Richie who emerged from the storm.

"It was really one-sided. I was shocked at how judgmental people are. Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors, except for the people involved.

We need to be grown-ups.

I didn't have an affair with Richie during his marriage, nor did he during mine. I am a loyal girlfriend and a good friend. I hadn't spoken to Heather in quite a few months when Richie and I got together. I wasn't her best friend who said, 'By the way, I'm sleeping with your husband.'

Quite frankly we couldn't help it. The attraction was there and we have such a strong connection."

Celebrity Quote of the Day - Donald Trump

"It was inevitable. She is a highly self-destructive person. Her ratings were doing terrible since the fight she had with me. They had the fight and that is when they were at their all-time high. Since then, they have been tumbling. Rosie is a very self-destructive person. She deserves what she got and ABC finally got smart."

Britney Spears to Pen a Tell All?

Britney Spears is hurt and angry- and now that she’s out of rehab, she’s planning a tell-all book about all the people “who did me wrong,” according to Star Magazine.

Sources claim that Brit is determined to dish every last bit of dirt about her once closest confidants and that they’re going to be shattered by her revelations!

Britney has plenty to say about ex-lover Justin Timberlake, 26.

“Brit blames most of her problems with drugs and alcohol on the heartache she experienced years before, during her time with Justin; she couldn’t trust him,” says a second insider.

“I hear she’s going to say that she believes he constantly lied to her about other girls and that destroyed her self-esteem. She also felt he became mean toward the end of their [nearly three-year] relationship; she said he called her fat and told her she’d need to lose weight before he would have sex with her.

“When Justin learns about this book, he’s going to be pissed.”

Her two husbands, in particular, Kevin Federline, and source says Brit will reveal the terrible truth that she planned to kill herself after it finally sank in that Kevin had used her for his own selfish ends, according to the insider.

“His womanizing, his wild spending, the verbal abuse he hurled at her when he thought their marriage was coming to an end…
Brit will say he deliberately tried to drive her crazy. She feels Kevin just pretended to love her for the money and a music career. When that sunk in, she was so heartbroken that she wanted to kill herself.”

The final bombshell, the insider says, will involve Britney’s mother, Lynne, 51. “Britney will call her a stage mom from hell’ and blame her for almost every ill in her life. She’ll say Lynne’s money hungry and that she was just along for the free ride. Britney thinks of her as a meddling, smothering person and blames her for her messy marriages.”

When Britney recently told Lynne and her father, Jamie, 54, about the book, they were both devastated. “Lynne was totally crushed,” says an insider, “and her dad warned her that if she bad-mouthed any of the family, she would regret it for the rest of her life. He knows from experience that sometimes Britney’s honesty isn’t always based in fact.”

Mel B Says Eddie Murphy Definitely the Daddy

Melanie Brown says that there is "no doubt this is Eddie's baby. We both know this is Eddie's baby."

Mel says she welcomes his challenge to do a DNA test.

She says she has only spoken to Murphy once in the past four months. "I'm sure, at some point, we'll have to have some contact. The baby needs to be documented, and that needs the father's signature," she says.

Brown tells OK! that the couple's brief (5 month) romance was very serious and developed quickly. "We were soul mates. It was electrifying."

She says she and Murphy even had their names tattooed on eachother only days after meeting. Melanie said she will not have the tattoo removed because Eddie will always be a part of her.

The relationship was fabulous, she said, until she took the pregnancy test. Murphy was there in the bathroom with her when she got the results of a home pregnancy test.

"He was over the moon," she tells OK!.

The relationship iced over from that point on.

Melanie describes how it all went down.

Melanie was in London to tell her mother about the baby when her friend called and told her about Murphy's appearance on Dutch TV where he claimed he was no longer with Melanie and that the child was not his.

Days earlier, "Eddie had called to reassure (my mother) that he loved me," Brown says. So she was "in shock" when she landed back in Los Angeles and the media swarmed her asking about the child. Brown says she then called Murphy and said he'd call back. He never did.

"Maybe one day Eddie will tell me why this happened. I am now more confident and grounded than I have ever been."

The Reese Witherspoon vs. Jennifer Aniston Catfight

Reese went ape when she heard about her boyfriend of two months, Jake Gyllenhaal, hugging and sharing a long kiss with Jennifer Aniston earlier this month.

A source told Woman's Day magazine: "It wasn't just a polite peck on the cheek. There was definitely feeling in that embrace.

"When Reese heard about it, she broke down in tears asking, 'Why would he do that?' She is very unhappy about it."

The source added: "She always thought Jake was intelligent and charming. That's why she's so stunned by the photographs of Jake and Jen. She's really hurt by what she's seen. They seem to be very explicit and everyone knows Jennifer's looking for love."
___________

Rumor has it that Reese has warned Jennifer to stay away from her man. If I were Reese I'd be like, 'You can have his ass'.
Please tell me she isn't that needy. Didn't she just get rid of a man she couldn't trust?

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Shanna Moakler's Revenge on Paris and Lindsay

Courtesy of People Magazine:

Paris Hilton's rep is hitting back at Shanna Moakler, calling her actions "childish" and "mean-spirited" after the former Dancing with the Stars contestant posted contact information for Hilton online over the weekend.

"This woman is simply desperate for press and attention," Hilton's rep, Elliot Mintz, tells PEOPLE.

"Shanna deliberately posted Paris's phone number and e-mail address on her Web site. It was an unprovoked invasion upon Paris's privacy, which immediately caused her to change her contact information. It was a childish, mean-spirited thing to do. And we are not going to dignify such an action with any additional comment."

The drama started over the weekend, when Moakler wrote a blog post (titled, "Put This In Your Pipe and Smoke It") on her MySpace page:

"I posted this blog back in January to let you all know that my accounts were hacked. ... and since there are 2 little girls with too much time on their hands and no one to love them....id like to share my 'hacked' info as well. ive tried to disassociate myself from both these parties for some time now and like a fungus they wont go away."

The posting then listed what she claimed were the e-mail address and phone number for Hilton and e-mail addresses for Lohan. A rep for Lohan denied that the actress's information was correct, saying, "She and Shanna are not friends." Both Lohan and Hilton's camps also denied Moakler's "hacking" claims.

By Sunday, the post had been pulled from Moakler's page, however she put up another missive saying, "There are numerous reasons why i posted my last blog and I stand behind every single one of them."

Calls to Moakler's rep were not immediately returned.

Nicole Richie Calls DJ AM's Ex 'Fat'

From STAR Magazine:
Is Nicole Richie still in love with DJ AM?

It certainly seems that way after 'The Simple Life' star got into a catfight via Blackberry with DJ AM's recent ex, model Lauren Hastings.

A source tells Star that Nicole is extremely jealous of the sexy 'Cry Me a River' co-star.

On Monday night, April 16, Nicole was at a nightclub with Lindsay Lohan, who was text messaging Lauren when Nicole interceded, says the source. "Nicole just went off on Lauren by sending her text messages, saying Lauren was desperate and a fat bitch."

"For some reason Nicole thinks she can get to Lauren by calling her fat, which doesn't make sense at all. Lauren is a professional model. It's so high school," adds the source.

After DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein, dumped Nicole last year, he started dating the 22-year-old blonde vixen, which didn't sit well with Richie. "Nicole went ballistic while celebrating her 25th birthday last September at a Hollywood party. As soon as she saw Lauren, she demanded that security clear the area and made sure Lauren wasn't allowed to enter the party," says the source.

While Lauren remains on DJ AM's My Space page as a friend, Nicole has long since been deleted from his web page.

Chevy Chase Will Never Forgive Parents for Abusing Him

Chevy Chase says that he will never forgive his mother and step-dad for the tortuous beatings he received as a child.

Chase admits he lived in "deathly fear" of his mentally-ill mother Cathalene and stepfather because they subjected him to regular psychological torture.

In his new autobiography I'm Chevy Chase . . . And You're Not, he claims his mother once slapped him "continually and hard, across the face. I don't remember what it was for, or what I had done. I lived in fear all the time - deathly fear.

"I always turn to it in my mind...I'll never forgive them. At their graves I didn't. It was too hard for me. You would think a grown man could shake it off, as the coffin was being lowered, to say, 'I forgive you.' I don't forgive."

Alec Baldwin Goes After TMZ

Alec Baldwin has apologized to fans on his website for the voicemail message he left Ireland Baldwin, his 11 year old daughter, and his attorney has filed court papers demanding website TMZ reveal their source of the leaked message.

The document is an Order to Show Cause on why Basinger and her lawyers should not be held in contempt.

In a declaration filed by Baldwin’s lawyer, Vicki Greene, the attorney says “Petitioner [Basinger] is the only parent with custody, possession and control of the minor child’s telephone voice-mail message that was dissemination (sic) to Harvey Levin and TMZ.com.”

Greene states, “I do not know how Mr. Levin received any information about the court proceeding that was closed to the public, but again, it had to come from someone connected to the proceeding, and it was not me.”

“If Mr. Levin had a tape recorded message between Respondent and the minor child, it had to have originated from Petititoner or her employees, agents or attorneys.”

“Respondent [Baldwin] urges the Court to set a hearing to determine the source of the leak and whether and how its Orders have been violated. Information has been leaked to the press intentionally. The specific source is unknown, but it could only have come from Petitioner’s side of the case.” Greene ends by alleging the leak “…goes against the Court’s stated desire to protect the child from unwarranted publicity.”

TMZ stated on their website they do not reveal their sources.

Britney Spears' Dad Blames Spears For Her Own Problems

Britney Spears' father has decided he has something to say about his daughter's wild antics a few months ago.

He blames Britney for her problems and rehab stint, and says that she blames everyone else including her family and her manager for her problems when she needs to step up and take responsibility for her own actions.

Right on dad. Sounds good to me. No one was twisting Britney's arm when she hung out with rat whore-Hilton and flashed her snatch to photogs, or when she shaved her head.

Jamie (Daddy) Spears defended Britney's former manager in an email written to PageSix.

"When Larry Rudolph talked Britney into going into rehab, he was doing what her mother, father and team of professionals with over 100 years of experience knew needed to be done," Spears writes. "She was out of control. Larry was the one chosen by the team to roll up his sleeves and deliver the message, to help save her life.

"The Spears family would like to publicly apologize to Larry for our daughter's statements about him over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, she blames him and her family for where she is at today with her kids and career. Larry has always been there for Britney. For this, we will forever be grateful to him."

Spears responded to PageSix about her father's remarks via her rep: "I am praying for my father. We have never had a good relationship. It's sad that all the men that have been in my life do not know how to accept a real woman's love. I am concentrating on my work and my life right now."

Britney obviously doesn't really respond to her dad's remarks, rather she flings mud back at him and plays the sympathy card. Face it Britney, daddy is right. You were a total mess and it was your own doing. Now you're burning bridges. Not a smart thing to do.

You should have just responded by admitting what a trainwreck you were and that you've gotten stronger than your problems. But you chose to pull a Lohan and shun your dad then tell everyone what a dick he is.

It's the cool thing to do. Everyone's doing it.

RADAR Interviews Jon Voight

Radar talks to Voight about the Patriot Act, his daughter Angelina Jolie, her children, and of course, the media.

RADAR: Was the Iraq war part of the war on terror before we got there?
JON VOIGHT: I'm interested in talking about this, but it's been so politicized, it's very disturbing, very dangerous. My view of it is this: they say our president lied to us. Well, he didn't lie to us, everybody else had the information he had, and they voted for that tactic.

So I imagine you're a supporter of the Patriot Act?
Yes, I'm a supporter of the Patriot Act. I support protecting us and investigating anyone who indicates they're going to be dangerous to our country. It's one of those things; it depends on which side you're on politically. If we had these things in place we could have anticipated 9/11. We're not interested in investigating someone who's doing something appropriate. We don't have time for that. That's nonsense. I certainly hope we're paying close attention to all those people crossing our borders who might be dangerous to us. We know for sure there are cells in the United States that are ready to erupt. We know that Hezbollah is here; we know there are cells from different terrorist organization that are here and operational and that there are others waiting too. So listen, it's a serious business. It's wartime, guys. Because we don't have a continuous attack on our shores, we can get complacent. We've got to all be alert now, we've got to be a part of it and be supportive of our troops for sure.

Even if you disapprove of the war, it seems pretty clear that simply pulling the troops out might not be the best option.
More than that, the war does not end. When we look around and see the evidence of what is being done and the preparations that are being made to disrupt our country and to destroy it. This growing cancer of fanaticism, it's like 1938­it's very, very similar.

To the Third Reich?
Yeah.

Islamic fundamentalism?
Whatever you call it, the things that are being said are very similar. It's a matter of whether we recognize that or go into a cocoon and make our own little drama. Do you know what I'm saying? We're debating things instead of recognizing that the real fundamental aspect is that we're at war with a very vicious, very clever enemy.

The press has been unkind about your relationship with Angelina Jolie over the last few years. One recent item had you flubbing the name of one of her daughters.
What! Flubbed the name?

Do you have any response?
No, listen, I haven't been in touch with the kids and I would love to be spending time with them, that's all. I have nothing to say, people want to make news out of everything. It's just a cruel slap at somebody and it becomes a part of our mythology, we can't correct it. I don't want to bring attention to it again. It always hurts me when things are brought back to the fore that are distorted. I send my love to Angie and her family.
