What’s Missing From This Picture?

July 23rd, 2008

Amy Winehouse wax figure

Amy Winehouse’s parents Mich and Janis unveiled the waxwork figure of their Grammy Award winning singer-daughter today at Madame Tussauds in London, England.

I think the artist doesn’t have a keen eye for detail, because Winehouse’s heroin scars are clearly missing!

Windy City Sighting!

Chris Martin With Fan Chicago

Chris Martin was spotted returning to his posh hotel last night after performing with Coldplay in Chicago at the United Center.

“He wasn’t in all that great of a mood, but was kind enough to sign for people and take photos,” according to an eyewitness.

His wife Gwyneth Paltrow was not with him so maybe that’s why Martin wasn’t in the best of spirits!

Thanks for the photo Rudy! Send your celebrity photos to liz@lizcrokin.com.

Sex and the City Sans SJP

July 23rd, 2008

Matthew Broderick Sarah Jessica Parker red carpet

It looks like Sarah Jessica Parker may not be the star of her hubby, Matthew Broderick’s, version of Sex and the City!

Star is exclusively reporting that the Producer’s star is having an affair with a redhead half his age. An insider claims that Broderick met the gorgeous redhead at a bar and soon after began text messaging the 25 year-old youth counselor.

It seems that Mr. SJP got steamy quickly with the mystery woman, who nicknamed Broderick, “Matty Cakes”, (please excuse me while I barf!) and started meeting her at the NYC townhouse of an industry friend.

While SJP was off in L.A. filming the highly anticipated Sex and the City Movie, her alleged unfaithful hubby was making multiple late night visits to the other woman’s apartment, according
to an eyewitness.

During one tryst, Broderick and the mystery woman came back to the friend’s apartment after a night of heavy drinking and proceeded to the bedroom. The source claims that she dragged Matthew into the bedroom and shut the door.

“A half hour later, Matthew opened the bedroom door, mumbled ‘Well… ‘bye!’ and walked out. The friend found her passed out on the bed in her
panties.”

This doesn’t surprise me at all! One of my sources who worked on The Producers with Broderick told me years ago that not only was he cheating on SJP back then, but it was widely known with his colleagues on Broadway. Sad…it looks like Broderick is no real-life Mr. Big!

Heather Locklear Leaves Rehab!

It looks as though it took a mere four week stint in rehab to cure the troubled Heather Locklear.

Doctors released the Melrose Place vixen from the Arizona treatment facility where she checked in for “troubles with anxiety and depression”, according to People. (Note: It’s been widely reported Locklear’s real problem is with a drug and alcohol addiction.)

A close friend of Locklear’s said, “While she was doing well during her time away, Heather severely missed her daughter (Ava) with Bon Jovi guitarist, Richie Sambora.” Anxiety? Depression? Crackhead? Well, whatever the case, let’s hope she doesn’t get back involved with her ex-husband, Richie Sambora, or former BFF, Denise Richards, anytime soon. That’s probably how she ended up in rehab in the first place!

Jonas Brothers Now Frat Brothers!

Seems as though Jonas Brothers, Kevin, Joe and Nick have reached a milestone in their lives, and we are not talking about turning 21.

Nope. Before any of the teeny boppers turn old enough to drink a beer, they have something bigger and better to celebrate — a new house!

The boy band-ers just bought a six bedroom mansion in the suburbs of Texas and brace yourself, the price tag is reportedly $2.8 million. The home is set in a gated community and their new neighbors include some of Texas’ finest with former Cowboys quarterback Drew Bledsoe and major leaguer Mark Teixeira.

Looks like the pop sensations hard work has paid off — lets just hope that mom doesn’t plan on moving in too!

Patrick Swayze’s Still Smoking, BUT He Doesn’t Inhale!

July 23rd, 2008

Patrick Swayze Chicago

Patrick Swazye may still be smoking even though he’s battling cancer, but he’s not inhaling!

“He smokes the cigarette, but he doesn’t actually inhale it,” according to a source. “He just likes to have the taste of smoke in his mouth since he’s been smoking for so long.”

Since Swayze arrived in Chicago on Sunday night to film the first season of The Beast, his trip has been a stark difference than his last stay here in December when he shot the show’s pilot.

Back then Swayze was often spotted boozing it up at local bars such as Rande Gerber’s Mexx Kitchen at the Whiskey and chain smoking cigarettes. With inhaling, we believe.

However, now that he is ill with pancreatic cancer, but well down the road to recovery, he has exchanged his party boy mentality for a healthier lifestyle.

Swazye has been spending his time in Chicago by enjoying long walks with his two dogs and wife Lisa Niemi. He’s been opting to eat organic foods from Whole Foods and room service from his posh hotel. And there has been no bar hopping.

Swayze walks around with a smile on his face and takes the time to shoot the sh*t with fans and his security. He is scheduled to start filming The Beast later this week and we’ll keep you posted on all the details!

Jessica Simpson: “I Am Never Ever Going To Sing Again!”

July 23rd, 2008

Jessica Simpson black dress waving

Jessica Simpson announced at her country debut on Saturday at the Country Thunder festival in Twin Lakes, Wisc., that she’d never sing again.

But, it’s not what you think.

Remember when Simpson choked on stage at the Dolly Parton tribute concert in 2006? Simpson forgot the lyrics in the middle of the concert and ran off stage crying.

At her show over the weekend Simpson told the crowd that she messed up at that show because it was not a time for her to be on stage and after her screw up she told her father, Joe, she would never sing again.

“I had a mess up on stage singing for Dolly Parton. I was singing 9 to 5 and it was a tribute to her and it was not time for me to be on stage. I was struggling with a lot and going through a lot and very intimidated to step up on that stage and very vulnerable. But I did it anyway and I choked and I forgot the lyrics. Afterwards I told my dad I am never ever going to sing again. Don’t even try and make me. I will never sing another song again. I give up.”

Simpson went on to say that Parton caught wind of what she told her father and encouraged her to never give up on her dream.

“Dolly caught wind of it and she took me aside and she told me that I had one of her favorite voices and that I could never give up on my dream and if I needed help that she would help me in whatever capacity.”

She followed her story by singing a duet she and Parton recorded together titled Do You Know.

Christian Bale-listic’s Side Revealed In Chicago Months Ago

July 23rd, 2008

Christian Bale smirk

There is a new report that Christian Bale had an outburst just days before he allegedly pushed his mother and we can report a similar incident from his time here in Chicago while filming Public Enemies.

Spies told TMZ that when Bale was on the set last Friday shooting Terminator 4 at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico he had an outburst after a director screwed up a shot.

Bale allegedly went ballistic, screaming “I will kick your ass” along with other choice remarks. Several hundred people heard the outburst — including Military Police — which was described as “intense.”

Well, Bale displayed similar behavior a few months ago in Chicago when he was here filming Public Enemies alongside Johnny Depp.

On one occasion, when Bale was signing autographs for a group of autograph hunters, he asked one person what he planned to do with the photos. The man decided to give him an honest answer and told Bale that he planned to sell them. With that, Bale told him to “get the f**k out of my face”.

That is the only time that we know of Bale going off on a fan in Chicago. From what we heard, he was overall pleasant and generous with his fans. We think Bale is a good person who hopefully just needs to take some anger management classes! Or, xanax!

Li-Lo & Sam’s Romantic NYC Trip

July 23rd, 2008

Even though Lindsay Lohan has been busy during the day filming scenes for Ugly Betty, she’s still found the time to keep her romance alive with girlfriend Sam Ronson.

The two lovebirds hit the Sephora Tenth Anniversary party the other night where LiLo showed off her $22K I heart ring from Sam to mom Dina Lohan and brother Michael, according to a report.

The two were also spotted canoodling on Mulberry Street in Little Italy, hitting the late night Manhattan club scene and spending some quality hand holding time in the Hamptons.

Last night the two were photographed arriving at the Waverly Inn in color coordinated black and white outfits.

Don’t you hate couples who color coordinate? Even though it’s two girls, it’s no less cheesy!

Mariah’s A Heartbreaker For Nick’s Wallet!

July 23rd, 2008

Mariah Carey

It appears that married life does a body good for Mariah Carey, but for her hubby Nick Cannon it’s not doing his wallet good!

Cannon is reportedly getting deep into debt as he desperately tries to fund his diva wife’s extravagant lifestyle. Cannon does not want to be perceived as a “kept man” and is splashing his cash to prove it when he should be stashing it.

A source told the National Enquirer that Nick is “burying himself in debt” trying to keep up with Mariah.

The source added: “Nick’s sensitive about being perceived as a kept man, so he’s going out of his way to indulge Mariah with lavish gifts and expensive dinners. And the bottom line is that he just doesn’t have the kind of money she has. It’s starting to stress him out.”

Judging by these photos taken of Carey in New York City last night, I think most men would say the 38 year-old vixen is worth every penny!
