Bonnie Somerville and her friend were mugged as they left the T Mobile G1 event on Saturday night.They approached the valet as two thugs approached them, demanded her purse and shot her partner in the back. Well, damn, that ruined the Arial,Tahoma,Verdana;
Bonnie has appeared in Friends, Cashmere Mafia and a bunch of other small shows. She is cute though. She’ll get more work.
She had a bunch of promising movies coming out, received some acclaim and then….she married a whacko! Or maybe the whacko is her?!?
Her kookiness caught up with her last week. Brittany had signed a huge deal with Walt Disney to be the voice of Tinkerbell in their animated cartoons, commercials and vacation promotions. That’s a BIG deal! Suddenly Disney made the announcement that Brittany Murphy would no longer be the voice for Tinkerbell. Instead, Mae Whitman, who is also an actress, will take over the speaking role. No comment from either rep as to why.
Rumors say it is because she acts strange. Other rumors say her strange husband makes her say and do strange things. Interesting…
Disney starlet Brenda Song has reached a tentative settlement in her libel suit against a company who allegedly used her image in a newspaper ad for an escort service without her permission.
Needless to say, the Mouser never would have agreed to have her photo appear alongside the slogan, “Hawaiin [sic] beauty. Come get lei’d.” Yet, the ads for Cityvibe.com appeared in several April 2008 editions of the L.A. Weekly.
The 20-year-old The Suite Life of Zack & Cody actress filed her complaint against Vibe Media Inc. and its owner, Ali Askari, in Los Angeles Superior Court on April 25, 2008, seeking more than $100,000 in damages for libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress and commercial misappropriation of her photo and likeness. The suit was amended a month later, naming Vanessa Sena of San Bernardino County as the defendant accused of taking the photo of Song from the Internet and using it in the ad.
According to Song’s attorney, Laurence B. Steinberg, terms of the settlement agreement are still being finalized. He would not discuss the case outside the courtroom to maintain confidentiality.
A hearing is set for Feb. 25.
Brandon Davis is best known for calling Lindsay Lohan a firecrotch and dating Mischa Barton, but he’s still making news all on his own. The latest: Brandon Davis reportedly failed his WRITTEN driving test last week. I guess money can’t buy you a driver’s license.

Six months after they sold the first pictures of their newborn twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have stepped out in public with their youngest children for the first time.
Fresh from the weekend’s Screen Actor’s Guild Awards in Los Angeles, the A-listers returned to family duty as they brought their large brood to Japan.
After managing to shield Vivienne and Knox from the world for an impressive six months, the couple finally showed off their latest additions of the family at Narita International Airport.Their little girl Vivienne – named after Angelina’s late mother – looked the spitting image of her older biological sister Shiloh Nouvel, two. With her rosebud lips, big blue eyes and rosy cheeks, little Vivienne looked exactly like Shiloh did in her earlier years.Her twin brother Knox has big blue eyes, a button nose and the distinctive lips they could only have inherited from their stunning mother.
an Oscar nominee, but that doesn’t mean he’s embracing the experience as enthusiastically as, say, a vigorous man-on-man hotel room wrestling match.
I hear that Cohen—conominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for his blockbuster comedy—has turned down an invite to present during the awards show.
His rep isn’t commenting, but I hear Cohen isn’t comfortable appearing before such a large group out of character.
Perhaps the Academy should have invited Borat instead?
Cohen may be limiting his appearance to sitting in the audience (unless he wins—then he’ll have to go on stage), but two other funny men, Will Ferrell and Jack Black, have agreed to perform on the big night, a source tells me.
While Black and Ferrell’s rep says, “Don’t believe everything you’ve heard,” a source tells me the two are set to sing an original—and very funny—tune. I don’t want to ruin it for anyone, but I promise if it does happen, you will love it.
Perhaps Cohen—I mean, Borat—should join them on stage for the song and dance.
Well, we’ve all heard of someone getting their heart broken. But since his split from Whitney Houston (they’re still embroiled in a bitter divorce/custody dispute) it seems to have happened, literally, to Bobby Brown.
The “My Prerogative” singer was complaining of chest pains Tuesday when he was taken to the hospital. After an exam, it was determined that he had suffered a “mild” heart attack.
By Wednesday, the 40-year-old singer was described as being, “in great spirits with a great prognosis from his doctors,” according to a source close to him.
Brown’s rep told press, “He’s recovering nicely. We thank everybody for their thoughts and prayers. We really appreciate the outpouring of support.”
The zinger of it all is that he’s scheduled to perform at the V100 Taste of Soul concert and festival in Los Angeles this weekend… and he still plans on going on with the show. Brilliant.
Newest “it” girl Blake Lively may play a party girl in the teen CW series “Gossip Girl,” but this 20-year-old blonde beauty insists she’s nothing like Serena in real life.
Donning the fun, fearless female pose on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine’s September issue, Lively talks about her real-life persona, claiming her love life isn’t as outrageous as her TV character.
She says, “There wasn’t a period in my life like Serena went through, where I was doing drugs and having sex with my best friend’s boyfriend.”
“I never went through that kind of crazy.”
In fact, she says she has kissed just three people in her life, not counting her TV or movie partners, of course.
Although she wasn’t as privileged as her TV role, she is an overachiever herself in her high school.
She says, “I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs.”
Lively, who is currently starring in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2,” reveals a lot more in her interview with the magazine in its September issue.
Making her way out of town, Vanessa Anne Hudgens was spotted leaving Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California on Monday (February 2).
The “High School Musical” hottie looked to be in high spirits, sporting her black “Peace” t-shirt, blue leggings and Ugg boots as she smiled upon entering the terminal.
Meanwhile, it sounds as if Miss Hudgens will be waiting awhile if she plans on joining in on the “Twilight” series – as the character she auditioned for doesn’t get involved until the third installment.
Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg tells, “I’m not sure about [final] casting but I had heard Vanessa Anne Hudgens was going up for the part of Leah [Clearwater, a werewolf]. But at the moment, the part of Leah doesn’t happen until the third movie.”
