Lindsay is becoming a playmate... Image by: Getty
Rumour is that Lindsay Lohan, Tinseltown’s resident wild child, is taking on a new role: Playboy Playmate.
This would make perfect sense since the “recovered” addict is allegedly going for broke, despite once commanding about $7 million per film. But that was back when she WAS in films. Nowadays the actress can’t even land a supporting role in a television advert, apparently.
Gossip encylopaedia TMZ reports that LiLo (as she’s often called by the gossips) posed for the Hef’s mag this weekend and was paid about $1 million. Not bad for a (not-so-former) jailbird. Just last week the girl left court in handcuffs at her probation hearing after the judge revoked her probation which she’d violated.
At least she had a nice dress on. Even Joan Rivers thought so.
But while she’s keeping her clothes off, maybe Lindsay should consider becoming a permanent fixture in Hef’s life – as his newest girlfriend, perhaps? She could even have a reality show while she’s at it: ‘Lindsay of the Playboy Mansion’. I guess she would be indulging in another kind of blow.
Oh no, I didn’t just say that. Curse my filthy mouth.
The talented (and visually-appealling) Mr Johnny Depp, who stopped ageing at 30, is in a bit of trouble…
And no, he hasn’t been getting kicked out of hotels and attacking photographers like back in his wild-child days. No, no. Johnny Depp said in an interview with Vanity Fair, for their November issue, that being in a photo shoot is like being raped.
That’s right. He compared posing for photos to being violated sexually. For such a smart man, Johnny was sure being insensitive and dumb.
He’s not the first celebrity to make this blunder – Twilight actress Kristen Stewart made a similar comment in 2010 when talking about being stalked by the paparazzi. And while we imagine that being hounded by photographers and posing for a camera when you don’t want to can’t be much fun, we’re pretty sure that to compare such to rape is just being ridiculous.
Celebrities and their non-problems. Their publicists must train them to bite their tongues at times, because some people have real problems.
Alicia Keys has been cheated on, if rumours are true
The rumour mill has kicked into overdrive for Alicia Keys and her producer hubby Swizz Beatz.
Apparently, allegedly, supposedly, Mr Beatz has been doing some funny things behind his Grammy-winning wife’s back with a 23-year-old woman named Christina Elizabeth.
The story goes as follows:
Beatz and Elizabeth met at Solange Knowles’ birthday party in 2007. Nothing happened at the time, but they stayed in contact. Regularly. Via their Blackberries and through other means, too (wink wink, nudge nudge). The two would send each other explicit messages that nobody would want their mother to see. Except, now they’re all over the interweb for millions of us (and Alicia) to see after Ms Elizabeth lost her phone recently.
For those who don’t know, what makes this story juicier than the average cheating celebrity husband tale is the fact that Alicia was herself, at one point, the mistress. Yes, when she and Beatz got together, he was married to someone else. Tut, tut. It seems the words of Alicia’s hit song ‘Karma’ are coming true, with her getting a taste of her own medicine.
But Ms Keys brushed aside the cheating rumours on her Twitter with the following tweet: “Some things are just LAUGHABLE!!!!! Now, Let’s Continue to SHINE!! Everything else is just a waste of time!!”
We can only hope.

Hef’s runaway bride, Crystal Harris, 25, told radio shock jock Howard Stern on July 26, 2011 that she had never seen the 85 year-old magazine mogul naked, and that their sex life left a lot to be desired.
Harris, who left Hefner and his Playboy Mansion five days before their planned June 18 wedding, claimed the pair only had sex once during their two-year relationship, and that it lasted “like about two seconds.”
I can believe the latter, he is 85 after all but as for the rest of her story ‘yeah right?!’

Actor Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johanssen didn’t waste any time getting over each other. The couple divorced late last year and only a few months after Johanssen was rumoured to be dating veteran actor Sean Penn.
The relationship between Penn and Johanssen swiftly ended and it looks like she has moved on to Hangover star Justin Bartha. According to New York Post. Scarlett was spotted at Bartha’s Broadway show ‘All new people’
Sources told New York Post that they “seemed ‘completely engrossed in each other’” during a cast dinner for the production.
More from a source about ScarJo and Justin’s behavior at the cast dinner:
“There were about 15 people at the table, but Scarlett and Justin sat next to each other and talked all night.
“They seemed pretty fascinated with each other and only talked to each other. It looked sometimes flirty, but also they seemed to be involved in a deep discussion.”
Scarlett’s ex-husband Ryan Reynolds is rumoured to be going out with our beau Charlize Theron.The two have been seen together several times.
People Magazine published images of them arriving together at LAX airport together after a flight. US Magazine reports that Ryan’s motorbike has been spotted parked outside Charlize’s house.
This is the first relationship that Charlize has had since ending the nine year relationship with Stuart Townsend.

Singer, diva and American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez and her musician husband of seven years, Marc Anthony, have split and are headed for a divorce! The split comes after the couple’s seventh wedding anniversary, which was on June 5th.
J.Lo and Marc released a joint statement about the shock split to E! News last Friday (15.07.11) which reads:
“We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to amicable conclusion on all matters. It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time”
While the split comes as a shock to most fans, J. Lo’s friends admit that the couple had a roller coaster marriage.
A source told usmagazine.com: “They had a very up and down marriage, they would get into heated, horrible fights. Then, they would also go through times where they were extremely loving and romantic. It was a roller coaster with them from the beginning.”
Another friend told People.com that the couple tried to fix their marriage, especially J.Lo who reportedly “tried everything she could to make it work,” but not even therapy sessions helped.”
And another added “They went to marriage counseling. She was patient and loving and did everything he wanted her to. She exhausted all the possibilities.She is devastated. Absolutely beside herself. This is someone she dedicated a long time to, and that she truly loved.”
44-year-old Grammy-Award-Winning singer/ songwriter, Robert S. Kelly hasn’t made mortgage payments on his multi-million-dollar Chicago mansion since June 2010. And now he may possibly lose the property.
According to reports, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. filled a foreclosure lawsuit against him last month. The document states that R. Kelly hasn’t made monthly payments on his 11,000-square-foot home for almost a year now.
The suit states that the principle balance on the loan was more than $2.9million, excluding unpaid interest which accrues at rate of $251 a day. According to the lawsuit, R.Kelly’s original loan was issued in 1999 for $3.5 million and his monthly payments were $24,345.12.
Amber Rose's Twitter Account
Earlier this year rapper Wiz Khalifa, etched ‘Amb’ short for his girlfriend’s name ‘Amber’ on the inside of his thumb. And now Amber Rose has returned the favour by getting his name inked on hers.
Wiz Khalifa's tattoo tribute to Amber Rose
This morning Amber Rose tweeted a picture of her finger which now has a small cursive text tattoo spelling out ‘Cam’, short for ‘Cameron’ because Wiz Khalifa’s real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz.

Her tribute tattoo also comes after Wiz stood by her during a nude pics scandal that saw her lose a modeling contract.
Earlier this month, pornographic photographs of Amber Rose circulated the web after she reportedly sent the images to Nicki Minaj’s then-boyfriend Safaree. But Amber Rose claims that he sent them to himself after discovering them on her computer.
It looks like Hollywood celebs have a penchant for giving their babies strange names. The kind of names that would get their children teased at school if they were just ordinary people.
When I first heard that the Beckhams had welcomed a baby girl, I just couldn’t wait to hear the name. I was expecting something out of the ordinary, but Harper Seven is just too eccentric, especially considering that the Beckhams other children are named Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
But then I started thinking about the possible significance behind this name that sounds a lot like ‘Half Past Seven’.
Harper Seven Beckham was was born at 7.55 on a Sunday morning (7th day of the week ) in the 7th month of the year at the weight of 7lbs 10oz.
Maybe the Beckham’s believe that number 7 is their lucky number. It was David’s jersey number during his glory days at Man United and at the age of 37 Victoria welcomes the baby girl she’s always wanted.

After months of gossip and speculation, Bow Wow has taken to his Bow Wow Today website to finally fess up about being a father. The 24-year-old rapper posted an article titled ‘Fan Letter’ and in it he expresses the joys and challenges of fatherhood and fame.
The letter reads “Let me start off by saying i love my fans. With out yall i wudda been left the game. For the past 3 years i been battling life. Even thought about taking my own.
“I felt like, as a kid i did everything and saw everything too fast, which spoiled my adult years. I felt as if i had no purpose to live (thinking selfishly) – until God gave me the illest gift of my life. No lambo, no blk card nuffn ammounts to my lil girl.
“I waited so long to tell yall the truth because i was nervous on how yall would look at me. Yall know everyone makes a big deal out of everything i do.
“My lil girl is getting BIG fast. i love every minute of it. She inspires me to go harder.
“Even made me treat my mother better, its like it made me into a man overnight.”
He then explains the hardships of being a famous father and how he hopes to give his baby girl everything he didn’t have and the freedom to live life away from the limelight ” Want her to be able to cheerlead with her lil friends with out some a–hole sticking his camera all in my lil girl face. I know how fame is. I missed out on so much that i now know how important it is to cherish and have those things in your life”
He even jokes about the not so pleasant activities that come with fatherhood saying “Yes! I change diapers. Aint as bad as i thought hahaha.”
Towards the end of the letter Bow Wow reveals that him and his baby’s mother (model Joie Chavis), are not together ” I want her to live with me so bad. Jus us 2. Thats my dream man but fellas yall know how it go. Baby gotta stay with they momma and all dat bull. I hate that! So i have to fly 5 hrs away to see her. I find myself going into my i phone book jus lookn at pix of her. Sometimes i tear up cuz i just cant believe it brotha be emotional. All in all im good”
In his concluding paragraph Bow Wow sends a hopeful message to his fans saying ” I know all my fans gone support me and ride for her like yall been doin my whole career. To the ones that say ‘I’m heart broken how can he do that to us’, well i do have a life thats not all about movies or making albums. I’m 24 now. I cant wait 4eva.
“I’m happy and if your a fan then ud be happy too cuz yall gone be with me every step of the way.
“The bs that comes with having a baby momma is expected. So i neva trip. Jus gotta suck it up keep chin high and try not let her get the best of my feelings by playin them stupid games.
“Ima stay positive and keep maintaining – long as i got yall, i cant lose. I love yall. And shai shai daddy love u too! Wizzle!!!!”
I suppose Bow Wow is not ‘lil’ anymore. What do you think of the letter?
