If anyone knows what it’s like to put their foot in their mouth during a Howard Stern interview, it’s Jerry O’Connell. O’Connell said that Arquette’s Stern interview was a “bad idea,” which is likely because O’Connell always reveals too much about his relationship with Rebecca Romijn while he appears on Stern. He once said that Rebecca actually punched him in the face for lying to her about playing golf. Romijn was so upset about his disclosure that O’Connell took a brief Howard Stern hiatus, saying the show “gets him in too much trouble.” In fact, if you hear his interviews on Stern, you would think that Rebecca Romijn was the most annoying wife in history. Stern takes a particular interest in the O’Connell/Romijn relationship because Stern is close friends with John Stamos, who often told Stern how horrible it was to be married to Rebecca. Too confusing?

Nicole Richie Bashes X17 — She’s Right
Nicole Richie wrote an open letter to X17, also know as the scum of the Paparazzi universe. Apparently, the paparazzi park outside her child’s school and wait to snap pictures, which verges on pedophilia. This has to stop. And unfortunately, it will only stop because of the legislature, and not because of open letters to the media from celebrities. You don’t get to put a camera in your hand on a public street and photograph little children without being a stalker. In any other universe these guys would be thrown in jail. Hats to Nicole for speaking her mind though — now it’s time to lobby Congress.
Tim Gunn’s Best Celebrity Bashing Quotes
Tim Gunn does his fair share of celebrity bashing, and I love every second of it. I often pick on celebrities for gratuitously insulting other people, but Gunn never bothers me. He’s just a “truth-teller,” and if the “truth” involves calling celebrities out on their bad behavior, then so be it. In honor of his new book, I’ve listed his best quotes below.
On Whether Lady Gaga’s Outfits Are “Fashion”
“Who would want to emulate that? It’s not fashion. Those are costumes.”
Tim Gunn on Jon Gosselin’s Wardrobe
On Katie Holmes Baggy Jeans
“I have to say, Katie Holmes has become so much more sophisticated in so many ways, but I think she’s in a dip right now. I can’t explain it.”
On Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s Choice to Dress-Up Suri
He explained, “Suri is her mother and father’s dress up doll. I think in many ways she’s a fashion victim and it’s very inappropriate…I feel bad for her.”
On Shooting Gossip Girl With Taylor Momsen
“What a diva! “She was pathetic, she couldn’t remember her lines, and she didn’t even have that many. I thought to myself ‘why are we all being held hostage by this brat?”
On Martha Stewart’s Daugther, Alexis
When I was at ‘The Daily Show’ two weeks ago, the producers told me that when Martha was there, she came with Alexis and that’s exactly how Alexis was in the green room. She had this profanity-laced Tourettes. She was saying all these horrible things about her mother, who was right there, and her mother wasn’t responding at all, acting as if she was deaf.
On Vogue’s Anna Wintour at a Fashion Show
“I was with a colleague from Parsons, and we had been discussing the will-she-or-won’t-she-take-the-elevator question, so we ran over to the elevator bay to see if Anna would deign to get on. She wasn’t there. Then we looked over [and we saw] Anna being carried down the stairs. The bodyguards had made a fireman’s lock and were racing her from landing to landing. She was sitting on their crossed arms. I ran to the window to see if they would put her down on the sidewalk or carry her to the car like that. They carried her to the car. And I thought: ‘I will never forget this.’”
On Lindsay Lohan Designing for Emanuel Ungaro
A reporter asked me at a party how I felt about Lindsay Lohan designing for Emanuel Ungaro. I was taken aback because I hadn’t heard anything about it until then. I said that if it was true, “It’s got to be a publicity stunt. Or a crack-smoking board of directors?” How I said it was a little blunt, but I stand by the sentiment. I mean, Lindsay Lohan knows how to buy things, but does she know how to design? And if she does, then at that level?
On Designer Isaac Mizrahi
Don’t even get me started on Isaac Mizrahi. In my view, he’s one of the world’s biggest divas. One time, Isaac threw a fit about a security guard from the second-floor showroom at Liz Claiborne Inc.’s Times Square offices. Why, you may ask? Was he stealing? Harassing guests? showing up late? No, he was wearing brown.
Did You Know: Penelope Cruz has an Equally Hot Sister Named Monica Cruz
I would seriously like to meet Penelope Cruz’s parents, and figure out what kind of genetic experiment they engaged in to produce two of the hottest chicks on the planet. I looked up Penelope Cruz’s sister, Monica Cruz, after reading that she will double for Penelope in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, because Penelope is pregnant. I was amazed to discover the insane resemblance — and they’re not even twins! Apparently, Monica is a trained Flamenco dancer that chucked the dancing career to become an actress, and has yet to take off in the United States. I’m not sure there’s anything wrong with riding your sister’s coattails, though the fact that she looks so much like Penelope could actually hinder her. I imagine watching her in a film and thinking, why didn’t they just get Penelope Cruz for that role instead?
Joan Collins Insults Jennifer Aniston — Itching for Press Attention Joan?
Want to know how to get your irrelevant name back in the press? Insult an A-lister, of course. Joan Collins told the Daily Mail that while Jennifer Aniston is “cute,” she’s certainly no Ava Gardner or Lana Turner. She also cited Angelina Jolie as the only beautiful actress of today’s generation. First of all, I’d like to see the interviewer’s question to prove that Collins gratuitously insulted Aniston to get attention in the media. I would like to also point out that many of the stars that Collins mentioned were deliberately glammed up beyond recognition because that was the style of the time. Strip off their makeup and slap them in a pair of jeans, and I doubt you’d be singing the same tune. Second, Jennifer Aniston is damn beautiful. I won’t compare her beauty to that of Angelina, because their celebrity triangle needs to die — I’m sick of it. Third, lay-off Jennifer Aniston. Hasn’t the girl been abused enough in the press?
UPDATE: Jennifer Aniston’s camp responded to this by saying there is “no need to engage with this nonsense.”
David Arquette Tells Howard Stern Why He and Courtney Cox Separated (Audio)
David Arquette called into Howard Stern today for an exclusive interview about why he separated from Courtney Cox. It was an honest and candid interview, which is surprising because most celebrities usually just say, “we grew apart.” Arquette said that things began to unravel while they filmed Scream 4. Courtney bought David Arquette a motorcycle for their anniversary and told him that she “doesn’t want to be his mother anymore,” which basically meant that she was tired of nagging him about being more mature. David interpreted that as a license to party, and it didn’t help their marriage. Stern asked Arquette if he thought she had an affair with her Cougar Town co-star, Brian Van Holt, and Arquette said that, if anything, it was an “emotional affair,” because Van Holt is more verbal than Arquette, and Cox wanted someone she could have “deep conversations” with. He also admitted to having slept with Jasmine Waltz “once or maybe twice,” and implied that Waltz tipped off the tabloids about having slept with him. He insisted that he was already separated when he slept with her, and that it was Courtney’s idea to sleep with other people. Stern suggested that Courtney allowed that because she wanted to sleep with Van Holt, and Arquette shrugged it off. Arquette admitted that he constantly calls Courtney asking her to get back together, but he ultimately wants her to find someone to make her happy, and if he’s not that person, then so be it. And there you have it. I love David Arquette, and after hearing the interview, I’m sad for him. Click the link below to hear a portion of it.
David Arquette Interview With Stern
Michelle Williams Will Play Marilyn Monroe — Is this Movie Necessary?
Am I the only person on the planet that doesn’t feel a personal connection to Marilyn Monroe? I don’t get it. Sure, she was great. But does that mean that every celebrity has to pose as her, and movies have to be made about her life? Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Kidman already copied a Marilyn Monroe photo-shoot, and Megan Fox has her picture tattooed on her arm. And the great Paris Hilton once proclaimed that she’s the “Marilyn Monroe of today’s generation.” Okay — that last one just made me laugh. So when I heard that Michelle Williams was cast in a new Monroe biopic, I skipped over the blogosphere questions about whether she could pull it off, and asked myself whether it should be made at all.
Tammy Lynn Michaels is Broke? — Can She Please Write Complete Sentences?
Not only do I find it incredibly annoying when celebrities let their personal lives play out in the press, but it’s even worse when they can’t properly put a sentence together. If you’re going to use your personal blog to bash an ex, at least make sure the punctuation is correct. Tammy Lynn Michaels, the ex-wife of Melissa Etheridge, has written a “poem” on her blog explaining that she’s too broke to even buy food. News reports suggest that Etheridge gives Michaels the small sum of $2,000 per month, plus household expenses (which might be a coded way of saying she just pays for toilet paper). That sounds like nothing when you take Etheridge’s salary into account; however, I’m still opposed to the haiku style of writing. Just say, “my ex-wife is a selfish, horrible person, and then call it a day. See, I even used a comma. Hopefully my own punctuation is correct. Otherwise, I might have to send Tammy Lynn Michaels a long apology note.
Kim Kardashian Poses Naked for W Magazine — A Raging Hypocrite
Kim Kardashian posed completely naked for W Magazine, shortly after proclaiming that she “regrets” her Playboy shoot, which she only agreed to because of “pressure from her mother.” Did her mother threaten to ground her if she didn’t pose naked again, or does Kim Kardashian just wait for the public’s reaction to her choices, and then say she regrets them if they are not well-received? Something tells me it’s the latter. I wonder what her excuse will be for the W shoot? Let’s come up with some explanations. Perhaps she was getting in the shower naked, and a professional photographer happened to be there, and snapped those photos without her knowledge? That’s way too crafty. Hmm — Maybe she was drunk?
