Star Catcher LA Charlize Gets Romantic
It was a star-studded night on Tuesday in LA as our cameras were outside Social Hollywood, a popular new hotspot amongst the stars.
Our cameras caught up with party hosts Charlize Theron and boyfriend Stuart Townsend as they were leaving the club. Surrounded by the usual paparazzi, the stunning actress dodged her way through the crowd making her way to her car and refusing to sign a single autograph. Once the couple was in their SUV they began to get intimate- holding each other and looking very happy.
Also on hand for the festivities Jamie Foxx, hip-hop star Eve, Chris Kattan, Christopher Knight and wife Adrienne Curry and departing from what is obviously not her car (a mid 90's Ford Explorer) ... Ivanka Trump. What next? Flying commercial?!?
Clooney and Allen Back on Track
Blunt Makes Nemcova Feel Sexy
During the photo shoot for her new Rampage ad campaign, model Petra Nemcova had the music of boyfriend James Blunt blasting in the background.
"Everybody seems to love it here and they know the words...with the music you get into it more and you can feel more sexy," says a clearly giddy Nemcova of her man's music.
The Sports Illustrated model is also very excited about her new ad campaign. "It's very glamorous, sophisticated, sensual," she says, "and it will elevate the Rampage brand much higher. We're doing very sophisticated, hard lighting, shooting at Pier 59 in New York City this time, not on the beach, it's fall."
Looks like you'll have to wait until the next Swimsuit issue to see Petra in a bikini, but until then, this steamy photo shoot should definitely fulfill any Nemcova cravings you might have.
Patricia Arquette Weds
"Medium" star Patricia Arquette wed her long-time boyfriend, actor Thomas Jane, over the weekend, according to the television show "EXTRA."
The couple, who have a three-year-old daughter together, tied the knot in a small, family-only ceremony at the Palazzo Contarini in Venice, Italy.
This is the second marriage for both. Arquette was previously married to actor Nicolas Cage. Jane was previously married to Aysha Hauer, daughter of actor Rutger Hauer.
Lindsay's Little Drummer Boy?
These days between feuding with Paris and P-Diddy and being mentored by Madonna, Lindsay Lohan probably doesn't have much time for romance. But the drummer from the British band McFly says that wasn't the case last year when he met the actress/singer on the set of "Just My Luck" when McFly shot a cameo appearance in the film.
A British tabloid is reporting that McFly drummer Harry Judd says he was Lindsay's temporary love bug one night last year. Judd says the two snuggled in a limo and was invited to her hotel:
"I was really nervous because she is so successful and talented. I thought, 'This is awesome'. Then she invited me back to her hotel. I left at eight next morning." He added: "She still isn't admitting it."
Who knows if he's telling the truth, but a quick note to Harry...if you want to get return engagements with these young celebrity lovelies you may want to keep your mouth shut.
The band even has a new video coming out next month called "Please, Please Lindsay, Please."
Timberlake/Popeil Wedding Registry
There's a buzz online that Cameron and Justin are history, even though sources close to the couple say flat-out it's b.s. Nonetheless, the talk is that Justin may have taken up with Lauren Popeil, the daughter of renaissance man/gadget guru Ron Popeil.
So we're thinkin'....if Justin does hook up with Lauren and it works out, what the heck do you get the couple that either has or has invented everything?!?
Kidman Wedding Watch
Nicole is set to marry fiancé Keith Urban any day now but her appearance today at a children's hospital seems like an odd move for a bride-to-be. Instead of dealing with last minute wedding details and triple checking the catering, Kidman made a visit to Sydney Children's Hospital and spent about two hours visiting the oncology, hematology and neurology wards with her two children.
"King Kong" actress Naomi Watts was in town the previous evening for Kidman's hen party (that's bachelorette party for those of us above the equator), a low key event at her sister's house with just a few guests. Urban's bachelor party is expected to take place Thursday in Sydney. The wedding is rumored to be held Sunday at Mary MacKillop chapel in the beachside town of Manly.
According to Australian press, Kidman has asked guests to make donations to charity instead of buying wedding gifts and with guests like Watts, director Baz Luhrmann, Russell Crowe and media mogul Rupert Murdoch, it's safe to say the charities in Australia are about to make a lot of money.
Anderson -- The Next Babwa With Cred
The landscape of TV news changed last night.
Anderson Cooper is now positioned to possibly become the dominant personality when it comes to the big "get." The importance of his interview with Angelina Joile cannot be overstated. She is probably the most sought after celebrity in the world. Rest assured, Barbara and Diane were salivating to get this one.
Yet it was Cooper who scored, and I can tell you he did not even seek Joile out -- she came to him. I'm told by unimpeachable sources that the reports that CNN paid for the interview are absolutely bogus. It was Angelina who wanted Anderson.
Cooper is already loved by his CNN bosses, but more significant is that he will now have a platform as a special correspondent on "60 Minutes." There's no doubt in my mind -- the execs at "60 Minutes" are going nuts today, knowing that Anderson can land the big ones.
In this business, success begets success. Anderson's hugely successful interview will become a calling card of sorts. Hey, if it's good enough for Angelina..... But maybe even more significant, I can see other stars and their reps seeking him out. He doesn't have the tabloid tinge that has permanently marked Barbara and Diane. He's smart, fair and sitting for an interview with him creates an air of respectability for the stars. He could easily become "60 Minutes'" secret weapon.
I really like Anderson. I know him casually, mostly from doing his show. From what I see, he's a genuinely nice, self-effacing, humble guy. He certainly doesn't cop the "I'm bigger than the people I interview" attitude. If he plays his cards right, Anderson could become the top dog in "gets," and I'm thinking that's gonna happen.
Paris... She Shoots, She Scores!
Paris Hilton was in Canada for the Much Music Awards over the weekend and the heiress was quite friendly with a new man. Miss Hilton was seen partying and holding hands with hockey player Jose Theodore, goalie for the Colorado Avalanche.
Surprisingly, the two left Club Ultra in Toronto together, and headed to Paris' hotel. Paris skipped into the front of the hotel and waited in the lobby for her date. Theodore waited briefly, then exited Hilton's car to join her.
Paris rep tells TMZ "Paris is single now, as she has stated publicly. This is a time in her life where she will be concentrating both on her work and friends. Nobody should read into any photos, gossip or reports about her social life."
UK Press Gets Personal with Vaughniston
Jen and Vince faced some tough questions at the London premiere of their new film "The Break-Up," but still managed to stay tight lipped about their rumored relationship.
Aniston remained cool, although somewhat taken aback, as one reporter asked her how hard it was making the film after her own break-up with ex-hubby Brad Pitt, replying 'Not hard at all, we were way past that at that point."
Vince had his own share of personal q's thrown his way as well with another curious reporter asking him at what point did he fall for Aniston during the filming. Vaughn, of course, played dodgeball with her saying, "we just had a good time shooting the movie and had a lot of fun."
Like all previous premieres, the two arrived separately and remained like that all the way down the red carpet, ironically mimicking Brangelina's press appearances for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
German Photogs Boo Jen and Vince
American photographers may be irritating to the stars they shoot, but they rarely boo. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn found out the hard way that it's not always the same across the pond.
While touring to promote thier movie, 'The Break-Up,' the couple posed -- separately -- for a mob of media in Hamburg. This fits with their long-standing tendency to not be photographed together. But the German photographers wanted a two-shot, and loudly cajoled Vince to join Jennifer under the lights.
Finally, Vince did step forward, but only with the film's director, Peyton Reed, standing between Vaughn and Aniston. This teasing maneuver only further upset the media, whose voices swelled with groans and boos.
The videographer in this clip zooms in on Jennifer's right hand, possibly looking for an engagement ring. Despite media reports that the couple are engaged, sources tell TMZ that this is not true.
Update: Charlie's New Girlfriend!
Denise Richards has Richie Sambora and now Charlie Sheen has Brooke Wolofsky.
Sheen showed up at the 2006 Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles over the weekend with Wolofsky on his arm. The two were working the red carpet like they had been together for years. Charlie was asked many times who his new lady was, but refused to give anyone a comment.
TMZ, however, spoke with Sheen's publicist who confirmed that two are "dating." "They make a very happy couple," Stan Rosenfield tells TMZ.
Wolofsky is 28-years-old and a real estate investor.
Sheen recently split with wife Denise Richards, and she has since been dating Heather Locklear's estranged hubby, Richie Sambora.
One Lucky S.O.B.
"I was very fortunate" says Vince Vaughn-- and a million men say "no kidding!" Vince Vaughn, as we all have heard, is reportedly dating one of the world's most desirable women, but that's not why he says he's fortunate.
As he told Ellen this week, Vince is lucky that she said yes to 'The Break-Up,' the movie he wrote with her in mind. He had never even met Jen when he wrote it and if she hadn't agreed to do the film, it's hard to imagine their relationship would ever have happened. So what do you call a celebrity who writes a film for a super hot superstar and ends up not only casting her but dating her too?
