Another Day in the Life of ... Drew
How much do we love Drew Bear? For a girl who never graduated high school, she sure does have a pretty damn fabulous life. She's pictured here, earlier this week, going to the set of her new movie He's Just Not That Into You.
K. Fed Gets Cut Off in Two Months
Two months from now, K. Fed will get no more spousal support from Britney. So why is he still smiling? Well with the pending battle for the children, Kevin thinks he has a shot at Britney paying him for the next 18 years. Nice try, Papa Smurf. A'int gonna happen.
Peek-a-Boo: Andre 3000
Did you know that Andre wrote his song Sorry Ms. Jackson about his ex, Eryka Badu and her mother? Wonder who he was hiding from in this pic above (which was taken in the Toronto airport last week). Come on Andre, really. We may like to shoot you here at Flynet, but we wouldn't hurcha. We wouldn't even hurt a fly!
What do Matt Damon, Ryan Gosling and Vern Troyer Have in Common?
Besides showing some love to the fans, what else do these stars have in common? Matt and Ryan are both vying for the role of Captain Kirk in the JJ Abrams new Star Trek movie. Most people are thinking there's no contest. Matt Damon just earned his star on Hollywood Blvd., while Ryan's still just a rising star. But on the other hand, Matt has two projects on his plate right now, both of which are in preproduction, The Fighter and The Imperial Life in the Emerald City. Ryan only has one thing to do--The Lovely Bones, and that too is in pre-pro. Our pick for the NEW Captain Kirk? Vern Troyer.
And the World's Most Popular Babies Are ...
Here they are, America. The top three most popular girls and the top three most popular baby boys in the world. From left to right, Violet Affleck, Sean Preston Federline-Spears, Kingston Rossdale, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Jayden James Ferderline-Spears, and Suri Cruise. And you thought popularity contests didn't start until middle school.
Taylor Hicks Has a Girlfriend???
Is it just me or does his new girl look just like him? They're both in their early 30s, but they look like they're going on 60. We spotted Mr. Hicks in Soho, NY with this journalist-chick, Caroline Lyders. Neither one of them would give us a status report, so we're not exactly sure where they stand. But they were spotted in Hawaii, so to us that translates into something serious. You don't go take vacations and run around holding hands with someone who is "just a friend". So there. Taylor and Caroline sittin' in a tree ... ... ...
Congrats! You Guessed Right
We know her best from Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion (1998), but today, Mira's movie, Multiple Sarcasms is in post production, and she is currently filming Sweet Flame. That celebrity baby is Mattea Angel, Mira's daughter. Mattea has a little brother, Johnny, who is 16-months-old, and both children belong to daddy Christopher Backus, who Mira met after he was her server at Sur Restaurant and Grill in West Hollywood. So Mr. Blog Reader, if you're waiting tables for a living, hang in there. There's hope for you yet!

Drama on Set
Riddle me this: Did this fight take place on camera or in between takes? Betcha can't guess.
Oh the Irony
Los Angeles Family Magazine, out on stands now, has a great article about Vanessa Hudgens and the Disney crew. It was OBVIOUSLY written before the naked pictures of Nessa were leaked to the net. The headline on the inside reads: Kid-Tested, Parent Approved. This is what the article has to say ... "What is the price of success? Considering the recent reports of young female stars behaving badly, some parents think the price is the path their children might be tempted to follow. Fortunately, some wonderful people at Disney have created the phenomenon that has turned the tide on this type of thinking and launched the careers of a few young people that stand to set an amazing example for kids, not only here in the U.S., but across the world."
When asked what High School Musical is about, Gary Marsh, President of the Disney Channel said, "[The show] is about learning to pay attention to your own internal moral compass, and understanding that if that compass loses its bearings, there are consequences that are real and painful." Even though Vanessa is in the show, she still had to learn this lesson the hard way. Tisk. Tisk.
EXCLUSIVE: Joaquin Phoenix Breaks Down
While in an interview for a press event at the Toronto Film Fest yesterday, Jo abruptly ended the session and left. We found him looking very upset as he walked away. No word on what happened inside. We do know that he has battled with drugs and alcohol before, as did his brother, River, who died of a drug over dose many years ago.
Another Day in the Life of ... Charlize
We caught up with actress Charlize Theron at the Hollywood premiere of The Valley of Elah yesterday. The movie, which also stars Tommy Lee Jones, Susan Sarandon and Jason Patric, is about a front-line soldier who goes AWOL just after returning from Iraq. The movie was inspired by an article that appeared in Playboy Magazine. See! People really do get the mag for the articles! And here you thought it was all about tits and ass.
Debate: Is Sarah Silverman a Bitch?
This is what Alli Sims had to say about Sarah Silverman, in response to what Sarah said about Britney Spears: "She's mean ... MEAN. She'll have kids one day and she won't appreciate that crap."
A few posts ago, I said that Sarah Silverman was horribly rude to Paris. I didn't even comment on what she said about Britney Spears, because she was taking some tabloid bull shit and turning it into a joke. When she called Brit's kids the "cutest mistakes", she said that because she read the ridiculous article in The Star. The mag reported that Britney called her children "mistakes". The Star. Seriously. Since when were they a credible source of information? About a half past ... never. Here at Flynet, we take the stupid things the tabloids say and make a joke out of it too. We actually need more people to recognize how screwed up the tabs can be.
But Paris. That's a whole other story. Since when is Paris a slut or a whore? Our photogs are on this girl all the time. And you never get reports of her coming out of random hotel rooms with a different guy every night. It just doesn't happen that way. Just because she made a sex tape with her then-current love interest makes her nothing more than a woman. We all have sex! (Or those of us who are human do, anyway.) Does that make us all slut-bag-whores?
A-List Celebs Love Toronto
Check out this fresh batch of butterflies we caught in our Flynet. Colin Farrell, Mena Suvari, Paris Hilton and Shakira were all spotted by our photogs in the Toronto airport. The film fest, which is 31-years-old this year, started out as a collection of films from other festivals, but today, it has become one of the most successful events worldwide. I could care less about the actual films there. I just love watching all of the flies buzzing about.

Troubled Wife or Coupled for Life? More News on Brangie ...
Sometimes life is "jolie" and sometimes, it's the "pitts". Angelina and Brad seem to be on top of the world, but there's only one little problem--the tabloids are trying to take them down. Mainly we are referring to In Touch this week.
The mag claims that Angie talked shit about Brad to her friends while at New York's Waldorf-Astoria. The headlines are racy: Exclusive! Angelina TRASHES BRAD. You open it up to the dramatic four-page spread of images and--total bull shit. The worst thing that she said about Brad is that she disagrees with the way he spends his money. And of coarse they had to have a therapist who "has never treated the couple" to come in and give her stupid words of crap about how fighting over money can tear a pair down. Give me a break!!
Our photogs caught up with this beautiful and HAPPY couple picking up Maddox from school together. When there's trouble on the home front, you don't want to ride around in a car together. Especially on an errand that requires only one parent. You don't want to make public appearances, and you wouldn't want to be caught dead locking lips. Us Weekly reported that the couple was spotted making out in the elevator at the Park Hyatt hotel last weekend. Sorry to be the bearer of more good news, but this duo is going stronger than ever. And I for one, like it that way.
If you want to know the truth of the matter, the actual headline reads like this: Busy Celeb Couple Takes a Break from Saving the World to Pick up Son from School Together. Am I the only one who finds that more attractive than the sensational mind vomit plastered to my could-be more-accurate magazines?
Another Celeb Tat
Check out this phat cat on Mira Sorvino's neck. What do you think?
a. It's fierce.
b. She should get that removed ASAP!
c. Who f@*%ing cares?
Wups! I totally meant to write Mena Suvari and NOT Mira. I know who this is in the pic, but I goofed. Sometimes I wish I was a blonde so I could easily explain away brain farts like this one. Ha!
Lunch Time for the Madden-Richies
We spotted this matching couple going out to eat in L.A. yesterday. After, Joel went shopping and got some coffee.
EXCLUSIVE: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Go to Hospital
This happy pair ended up at a Bev Hills hospital yesterday after Justin strained his voice last Sunday at the VMAs. Justin canceled two of his upcoming performances as a result. Doctors orders! His schedule resumes on September 23.
Despite the drama, the couple looked happy, as they were leaving. Could it be because they know they've got some spare time to play with while he recovers?
Updates on the Hills Girls
You want the latest? Here goes ... Lauren, Whitney and Audrina were reportedly upset with Justin Timberlake for not thanking them after they handed him his award at the VMAs. Lauren quickly got over it when she was spotted at an after party making out with--Cisco Adler of all people. I guess it's safe to assume that she DOESN'T end up back with Jason after all. Smart gerl.
Back at home, drama queen Heidi accused Lauren of making a phone call to Heidi's mother to rat on her and say that Spencer Pratt is abusive. Heidi said that this part didn't make the show, and she said that Lauren was doing it for revenge. Sweet little L.C. out for revenge? That just doesn't sound right. Perhaps she was concerned.
What is it about this group that keeps me wrapped around their fabulous fingers??? I'm obsessed. And after a few excruciating episodes of the spin off called Newport Harbor, I'm just starting to like that one too. Is it just me, or were there ten too many bottle blondes with brown roots and big boobs? I just couldn't even tell one from the other there for awhile. I was about to have to keep a journal just to make sense of it all. C'est la vie!
Britney News: We've Got the 411
This likely shouldn't make headlines anymore, because it's just another day in the life of Britney Spears, but she flashed the camera with her hairless wonder again. We didn't get the pics, but it's not like you don't know what it looks like by now. She just doesn't seem to care one bit.
In other Britney news, Flynet learned that like Kanye, she had a meltdown backstage at the VMAs. We were told that she was given antidepressant psych right before the show. Those things DO make you feel like a zombie, that's for sure, but it's still no excuse for not practicing. We hear that she was yelling at everyone and throwing a fit. Did she ever stop for one moment and take responsibility for her actions? Doubtful.
Brad Gets Mad
It's daddy's turn to do the dirty work. We spotted Brad in NY picking up Maddox from his new French school. And you guys know how much we love French over here at Flynet! Half of our staff is French. Avoir un bon jour. That means, "Have a good day." So now when you see Maddox out running around with mom and dad, you'll actually be able to have a conversation with him. La lecture heureuse. (Happy reading!)

Run Bridget, Run!
We found Bridget Moynahan dashing to make her doctor's appointment on time yesterday in Beverly Hills.
Playboy Diddy Hits Vegas
A newly single, lady's man Diddy was seen partying it up in Vegas at Club Jet last Saturday. Diddy attempted to make a hip hop group, dubbed Da Band, a few years back, but the whole project went bust. He then decided to make an all girl's group, Danity Kane. We're wondering why we didn't see the girls at the VMAs. If they're as hot as he said, why were they M.I.A.? And then there's his latest boy band. What's up with them? Where were they? Diddy is NO Dr. Dre!
More News about Vanessa's Nudie Pics
We had before reported that Vanessa Hudgens had topless images floating on the web. Come to find out, she's full on nude, and there could be more than one in circulation. But for now, just one is all you get. http://www.harperosu.org/biologists-used-wrong-fish-in-effort-to-save-endangered-trout-species-study-says-the-daily-iowan-2/ We took this picture of her (above) at LAX two days ago. She's gonna hop on a flight to nowhere and go stick her head in a hole now.
Frankie Muniz Gets Candid about His Gambling Addiction
We caught up with Frankie Muniz out and about in West Hollywood last week. He once said, "Some kids are always getting into trouble or doing stuff, and I stay away from those types. I know I am no better than anyone else in this world. I'm just an actor, that's nothing special. But I'm not into anything bad. Just blackjack."
Crazy Britney Fan Goes Mad
I SWEAR TO GOD, this person is not employed at Flynet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc&NR=1
Kanye Throws a Fit
This is what Kanye had to say. See for yourself. What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-631TgPP2s
Donatella Versace's Words of Wisdom
We caught this exclusive pic of this fly last week while getting into a car in Midtown, NYC.
Tuesday, September 11, 2007
EXCLUSIVE: Dennis Quaid
We spotted Dennis Quaid at Starbucks in West Hollywood last week. This hot actor once said, "I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots." He's pictured here in his off time, looking shocked to see us.
EXCLUSIVE: Heidi Klum
We got these exclusive pictures of Heidi Klum going to Whole Foods two days ago. We're not impressed with her threads.
Kanye Strikes Back
Is it just me or is Kanye showing signs of becoming full of himself? In his new song, Stronger, he raps, "You should be honored by my lateness. That I would even show up to this fake shit." And now he's claiming that MTV snubbed him by not giving him an award!? You should be honored that the allowed you to perform at the VMAs. And now he wants to boycott the whole network? Please tell me this is a joke!
Rachel Bilson Needs Help!
After stopping to eat at the Mustard Seed Cafe, OC star Rachel Bilson noticed she had a flat tire. We got these exclusive pictures especially for you.
Coutorturous! Make Arnold Stop!
We ran into Arnold Scwarzeneggar last week in Malibu. The week just before this photo was taken, he was wearing the SAME THING. What's up with that? There is an unspoken rule that NO celeb is supposed to wear the same outfit twice. The nerve of him. Let's just hope that he treats California state law with better respect than he treats celebrity rules of fashion! Give it to Goodwill, Governator. Give it to Goodwill.
(Above, the first picture is the oldest. The second is the most recent.)
Guess Who We Saw Leaving L.A.?
At the LAX airport, this is who we caught in our flynet: Peter Bogdanavich, Jason Bateman, Charlize Theron and Rachel Hunter. These pictures were taken last week.
Guess Who We Saw Touring Toronto?
Arriving in Toronto for the film fest, we caught up with Sienna Miller, Sheryl Crow, Naomi Watts and Jake Gyllenhaal. We snapped all of these pics last week.
And the Answer is ...
For once, no one guessed it right. That celeb A$$ belongs to actress Maria Menounos, who starred in Old Skool, Fantastic Four, and One Tree Hill. We love the look she's sporting here.

VMA All Access
The Bratz beauties Whitney, Audrina and Lauren, made an appearance at the VMAs last night. Lookin' good gerls!
Rihanna: Pretty in Pink
The only woman to win two awards at the VMAs, Rihanna looked fabulous in a bright pink dress.
Couture or Coutorture?
Nelly Furtado, Ashanti, Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Garner were all looking crazy hot.
Sarah Silverman? Not so much. Her outfit is decent. Her attitude, repulsive. Blah! As for Beyonce. Why is she wearing silver shoes and accessories with a gold dress? Ug.
Big Winner: Justin Timberlake
Living legend Justin Timberlake was the most accomplished star at the show. Not only did he win the Quadruple Threat award, he won best Male Artist of the Year. We heart J.T.
Criss Angel Flunks Out of the Game
Criss Angel, who has the ability to live through being chopped in half and who can levitate two stories high, was supposed to do us all a favor and make Britney Spears disappear at the VMAs last night. But yet she's all over TV and radio this morn. I guess not even he can work that kind of magic! He's pictured above looking cracked out on the carpet.
Surprise of the Night: Chris Brown
Before he got up to blow us all away, we were told that Chris Brown was sitting in his high school class two years ago, and now, here he is, performing at the VMAs. He rocked the house with his A-MA-ZING dance moves. He wasn't as skilled at his lip syncing, but he did have some mad chemistry with umbrella-girl Rihanna. When Justin got up to get his next award he was crazy impressed by Chris. All he had to say was, "Damn!"
More Celeb Fueds
When Sarah Silverman hosted the MTV Movie Awards earlier this year, she got up for a friendly roast of the stars. She poked at Lindsay Lo and others, before moving on to a nasty set about Paris. She said the most horrible things about her, alluding to P. being a slut. This was right before she was about to go to jail, and Sarah was viciously making bad jokes saying that Paris should paint little penises on the bars of her cell so she could suck on them. Then the camera cut to Paris, and she look obviously upset. The roast caught on fire that was out of control. Not cool. So when she got up to speak at the beginning of the VMAs last night, I just thought to myself, "Why don't you go take a seat, you mean girl." But she promised not to tell any Paris jokes, mildly poked at Britney and then said more rude stuff to Paris! Sarah said that it was all in good fun, because when she was in her 20s, she was a slut too. "It's like the pot calling the kettle a whore," Sarah said. What does she have against the heiress? Could it be because Paris is far more beautiful, more liked, more known and WAY kinder than Sarah could ever hope to be?
Even though it was only Sarah throwing the punches in this fight, it was Paris who clearly emerged as the winner. At least P. didn't get up later in the show and go knock her out. I really wish someone would have, though!
The Fight of the Night
When Pam Anderson got up to speak last night at the 2007 VMAs, Tommy Lee started whistling like an obnoxious hey-everybody-notice-me punk. Midway through her sentence, Pam said, "Shut up, Tommy." But he inevitably continued to do it. She didn't even seem to care much. She was just like, whatever. But ex-hub Kid was not going to let the moment drop. Later in the show, he went up and punched Tommy Lee! The cameras didn't catch the impromptu fight, but onlookers told us about it after it happened. What a wild night. I guess rappers aren't the only ones throwing down. Hey Kid, why don't you stop acting like a child?
Brit's Bounceback
Here she is, America. In all of her awkward glory. What do you think? We're torn. Was it just me or was Ms. Britney Spears very stiff and ... uh ... stiff? What was up with that dancing? It looked like they were doing a walk through rehearsal, without practicing the full on moves that they were intended to do there. Before she performed, she was the hit of the night. Everyone was looking forward to seeing her, from Mary J. Blige to 50 to Paris. Since her performance, she's still the talk of the town--but for very different reasons. On the other hand, she sure looked f@%&ing hot. Are you with me on that?
Not exactly the performance we were expecting, but then again, that's what happens when you take two years off of your career to be a bum. Scroll down to see for yourself.
The picture above was taken in L.A. this past Thursday.

Britney Spears "Performs" at the VMA awards in Las Vegas
Labels: bad, Britney Spears, lip-singing, Single Mom, Video
Another Day in the Life of ... Xtina
Xtina Aguilera, who was not a focal point of the VMAs, was spotted her with hub Jordy at a Fred Segal shopping spree in West Hollywood on Friday. Is she nesting or something?
Kanye's on TOP of the WoRlD
Kanye West just made one girl the happiest on the globe ... eh hem, Alexis ... Kanye was one of the best parts about tonight's VMA appearances. Stay tuned tomorrow for full coverage of what went down.
J. Lo is Hotter Than Ever
Jenny Lo. rocked Fashion Rocks this weekend. I don't even like her new song too much, but her amazing performance overshadowed and made up for any worries I had over her lyrics. The music was a fabulous electronic beat that made me want to jump up and dance. But I didn't. Sorry to disappoint.
EXCLUSIVE: Brangie Hits Toronto
Images above were taken yesterday. Despite all of the negative media surrounding this hot duo, they always look so happy to us. And we're the ones seeing them up close and personal, firsthand.
And the Mystery Baby's Mom is ...
Someone guessed it (on another thread). It's Alexander. We snapped this as mom, Naomi Watts was arriving in Toronto last Thursday.
Couture or Coutorture?
We poked our head in the door of the annual Pink Party in Santa Monica, and this is who we bumped in to ... Jamie Lee Curtis, Marcia Cross, Katherine McPhee, and Courtney Thorne-Smith, among others.
But our top Flynet Couture Award goes to the ever fabulous Roseanne Barr!
Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O'Connell and Brooke Burke also were there, but they were not so high on the hot meter this time.
Vanessa Hudgens' Sex Photo Scandal
After having a topless photo of 19-year-old Vanessa Hudgens leak onto the web, the High School Musical star issued this statement: "I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed and regret having ever taken these photos." Why is she apologizing? What is she embarrassed about? And most importantly, does she really regret taking the nudie pics or does she just regret the fact that we all found out about it? Sounds like she could've had a little PR coaching before her publicist decided what she was going to say about it.
About the "privately taken" photo, Nessa's rep said, "It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public." Can someone please tell me what is so unfortunate about it? Where was the picture posted? Did she really look THAT bad?
Hollywood Breakups and Makeups
It has been said that the duo is behind the scenes scheming on us. We heard that after the media buzz on Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag dies down, they are plotting to stage a break up which will include Heidi full on moving out of their apartment. No worries though. They plan to stage a make up as well. No word on if this is actually true or not. We'll just have to wait and see.
