I still can't believe they are actually doing this one. From the creator of "Survivor" comes this new reality show. Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke host the "American Idol with an edge" type deal.
The show follows 15 singers three nights a week on a 13 week gig to become the new front man, or woman, for the old school rock band INXS.
Navarro said, "These kids are rockers that have paid their dues, toured in small vans, some have been homeless and others sang on Broadway."
The contestants were hand picked by INXS after a worldwide search.

Rockstar: INXS
Vaughn and Aniston
Vince Vaughn said straight up last week that he and Jennifer are NOT having an affair. Sources on the set of "The Break Up" beg to differ.
"Jen's been raving about Vince's height, his generosity, his mojo- meaning his general swagger and attitude- and especially his sense of humor."
They also say that Aniston "likes the way Vince bends over backward to make her look good." HA! Take that anyway you want. Nope...nothing going on here. Those damn "set people."
Celeb quote of the day
"Never ask a woman if she's pregnant unless you can actually see the baby coming out of her."

Did you know...
Johnny Depp, who plays Willy Wonka in the film "Cahrlie and the Chocolate Factory", says the fake chocolate river in the movie was stinky. Depp said, "It smelled bad. After a couple of weeks, it got really funky." Ick.
The MILF baby machine strikes again...
Cheerio eating Kelly Ripa, 34, wants a nice, new spring baby!! Her "friend" said, "Kelly has always wanted a big family, and she wants them while she's relatively young." No wonder she spits out babies. She bounces right back, and she has a five year $40 million dollar contract with six weeks of maternity leave. She should have four more.
Pitt & Clooney to open Vegas Casino
Brad Pitt and George Clooney have teamed up with Rande Gerber (Cindy Crawford's husband) to plan/build a hotel and casino in Las Vegas. The project will be designed by Brad Pitt and start in January 2006.
A source said, "George and Brad are not putting in any money, but they will be getting a percentage of the profits."
Pitt has said, "I'm really into architecture, structure and design. Give me anything and I'll design it. I'm a bit nutty with it. I've got a few men I respect very much and one would be architect Frank Gehry. He said to me, 'If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing' That's become like a mantra for me."

A little better...
Spears is rumored to be carrying TWINS. That would explain all the erratic boy/girl shopping she has going on. Pic taken in West Hollyweird yesterday.

Lil' Kim's going to prison to hang awhile
Grammy winning rapper Lil' Kim was sentenced yesterday to "a year and a day" in prison. She was fined $50,000 for lying to a federal grand jury to protect her homies. They were involved in a 2001 shootout outside a Manhattan radio station.
Lil' Kim is the first big name female rapper to do prison time. Good luck girlfriend.
Fergie is engaged
Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie is engaged to her boyfriend Josh Duhamel. He proposed a couple of weeks ago and they plan to get hitched next year. Super hot couple alert.

Ashley Olsen and Jared Leto?
Ashley Olsen is reportedly getting it on with hottie Jared Leto. She recently split from restaurant owner Scott Sartiano.
Olsen has been seen hanging out with Cameron Diaz and Scarlett's ex in New York and, according to friends, is "like a giddy schoolgirl who has a new man". Ummm, that's exactly what she is.

McDonalds is pimping out
So far it looks like puffy P Diddy is lined up to redesign McDonald's staff uniforms. Who is in the running? Russell Simmons, Tommy Hilfiger and Damon Dash. Wtf??
"We believe that restaurant employees are brand ambassadors, and this is a great opportunity to have crew uniforms which are reflective of that," said McDonald's spokesman Bill Whitman. "This would create designs that they'll be proud to wear not only in the restaurant, but outside, as well."
Riiiight. Hitting the clubs this weekend? Just wear your McDonald's uniform.

Angelina to adopt a girl
Angelina Jolie is adopting a newborn Ethiopian girl today orphaned by AIDS, People magazine reports.
Jolie, who has toured the world as goodwill ambassador for the United Nations' High Commissioner on Refugees, said the baby would be named Zahara Marley Jolie but would not reveal the child's age, height or weight, People said.
Safe to assume she's not pregnant? Awww. Zahara Pitt.

Lohan Deathwatch 2005
Ugh, this poor girl. In an US Weekley interview Lohan again defends her weight issues. But in one HELL of a scary way.
About her hospital stay last year, "I had exhaustion. I was diagnosed with acid reflux, anemia, hypoglycemia, swollen liver and my kidney was infected."
For the love of God...quit telling your bullshit line of "exhaustion." You are exhausted because your whole body is slowly shutting down. That's why you pass out on your face while exercising. Stop snorting the paycheck.
Vaughn denies torrid affair
Vince Vaughn has straight up denied he is having an affair with Jennifer Aniston. He's using the "we're just good friends" line.
Vince said, "We're making a film together, man. Jennifer's a sweet girl but she is very vulnerable right now and has been through a really hard time."
"I know people would love it if we were dating, but we're not. She doesn't need to cry on my shoulder."
Vaughn is all about the British girls anyway... "British women are hot - you guys are so open-minded," he said. "I have had one or two shocking suggestions but I'm not going to tell you."

Well, that's nice Hudson
Kate Hudson and her rocker husband Chris Robinson have agreed to end their five year marriage if either of them commits adultery. Very assuring...a little foreshadowing here?
Hudson admits she's often tempted to cheat on her hubby, but she knows he would leave her if she acted on her urges, because neither of them could forgive an extra-marital affair.
She says, "There's always going to be temptation. We made a pact that if that day ever came we'd be honest with each other and say, 'For some reason I want to sleep with somebody else.'.
"I'd love to say I'm the kind of person who'd say, 'I'm going to go through the bad and ugly,' and 'Oh God he cheated on me, but we're going to regain our trust.' I'd be gone. You move forward." Thanks for the heads up.
Celeb quote of the day

Sean William Scott, joking about the Dukes of Hazzard and looking just like Andy Roddick!
Andy Roddick...see!
Tell me that Roddick doesn't look like Stiffler?? Why the hell am I trying to convince you?

Ewan McGregor saved himself
Ewan McGregor said he gave up drinking because it was ruining his career. "I think drinking and being out of control narrows your options in front of the camera.
Ewan explained, "None of my directors ever said, 'I'd rather you didn't drink at work.' And they must have known. Originally, I was a happy drunk. But later I was miserable because it's a depressant."

Ricky Martin is coming back
Again. The clubgoers at NYC's Marquee got to hear the latest from Martin..and they liked it. He showed up at the club unannounced and he asked the DJ to spin his new song, "I Don't Care" featuring Amerie and Fat Joe. He played it three times and the women went all sorts of crazy! The CD will be released in October.

For your notes....
For all you Mariah Carey fans....don't go and stalk her unless you have plenty of "disinfectant wipes" on you. That is, if you are planning on pawing her.
"It is really essential, because I can't get germs," explained the diva. "I've touched a lot of fans outside."

Digging the Scissor Sisters
The Scissor Sisters Ana Matronic is calling out Paris Hilton for attending yesterday's Live 8 concert. She's disgusted that Paris Hilton and her man clone were backstage socializing at the event. Ana said Paris has "no grasp" of the poverty in Africa and only went to Live 8 for the publicity.
"That woman is representative of everything that's wrong in the world. She has no business being here, all she wants is to get her name in the papers - her and her minging fiance. If you're a sucker for blondes, I want to warn you - she's not a real blonde." MINGING?? That is so damn funny...had to google that one. She was too polite to say "homely and stinky."

Pink proposes to her biker guy
Pink apparently popped the question during a motorbike race in Mammoth, California, by holding up a placard that read, "Will you marry me?" as her man, Corey Hart rode past. She then turned it over to reveal the words: "I'm serious!" Onlookers report that Hart pulled out of the race and kissed his new fiance in front of the crowd. This crazy chick is actually ready to settle down?

Angelina pregnant...Jennifer devastated
There have been rumors lately that Angelina Jolie is pregnant with Brad Pitt's baby. Could it really be? I wasn't buying it but some reports say that she is three months along.
"Jennifer Aniston was said to have "freaked out" when she heard Brad's alleged new lover, Angelina Jolie, is three months pregnant."
A friend of Jennifer is quoted by Daily Star as saying: "She has taken it hard. She just can't let it go. She can't stand the thought that Brad could be starting a family with another woman while they're still legally married".
The source added: "She wants Brad to tell her the truth rather than have to pick it up second-hand"
Brad and Angelina are yet to deny the rumors they are expecting a child together earlier this week, a source told New York Post, "Jolie's just in her first trimester. Obviously, they're keeping everything very quiet." Nothing official from the couple...

Celeb quote of the day
"I don't like Paris so much, and it's only eight shows. I mean, don't tell them that, of course. But everyone always thinks they're so important. And I'm sure they are. But to me, my happiness is more important."
