Tim Gunn, mentor on “Project Runway” and fashion consultant thinks Miley Cyrus is looking a little ‘tart’ and not the kind of ‘tart’ that synonymous with pastries or sour flavors. Gunn says that:
“[Miley Cyrus] is just a little too tarty, forgive me,” he says. “I don’t want her to look like she’s going into a convent school, but it’s just a little too much for a 15-year-old. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear she was 25!”
I think it’s probably just a little bit of the age divide clouding Tim’s eyes. In her public appearances Miley is usually pretty modestly dressed for a 15 year old in this day and age. I can’t even begin to think of how the “Hannah Montana” star would dress more conservatively – a brown burlap sack perhaps.
Things have gotten so bad between Lindsay Lohan and her attention grabbing father, Michael Lohan that even I twinge whenever his name comes up. Apparently the feeling is shared by Lindsay and her gal pal, Samantha Ronson. This particular episode of ‘how to tick of your celebrity daughter’ started Tuesday August 26th, when Michael told E! just how much he disapproves of Ronson as a part of his daughter’s life:
“I’ve shut up about this long enough. She’s using my daughter. People never even knew who Samantha Ronson was until she met Lindsay. She was just some L.A. DJ. And now she’s writing a book? I am at wit’s end with this stuff. This is not in Lindsay’s best interest. Let’s just say I hope Lindsay starts opening her eyes and realizes who the people using her are.”
Well it’s looking plenty clear, to me, that Lindsay knows exactly who’s using her for fame. The “Mean Girls” star fired back at her father – twice. Telling the press, on the set of “Ugly Betty,” where LiLo is filming her guest appearances for the upcoming season, that:
“He’s out of control. I want him to stop hurting and talking to the media about the people I love.”
But Lindsay didn’t stop with that small statement to the press. She took to her MySpace blog and posted a long rant expressing her displeasure with her attention seeking father:
“…He has become a public embarrassment and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its[sic] obvious who that is).
He has no idea what is going on in my life because i have chosen not to involve him in it- His recent attack on my life and my loved ones is simply for an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME…”
Michael Lohan’s craving for a slice of Lindsay’s limelight seems obvious to most involved, including LiLo’s maligned friend, Samantha. Ronson even went as far as to post a blog herself, saying:
“I really don’t want to say anything because I feel like he wins… I am not the reason that he has no contact with his daughter – he is – his need to throw a tantrum for the whole world to hear is. I am not going to go into a play by play defense (sic) – I feel no need to publicly defend my role in Lindsay’s life – I’m just sorry that she likes me more than him.”
Of course all of these heated words are unlikely to have the desired effect of getting Michael to meekly accept the role of proud, and silent, father to a celebrity daughter. Furthermore, Papa Lohan’s latest attention ‘fix’ might have cost him his final chance at reconciling with the very daughter he claims to love so much. I certainly can’t imagine Michael’s need for media attention being a help to Lindsay while she tries to jump start her career and find happiness where she can.

The media might have dubbed Jennifer Aniston as ‘unlucky in love’ but all her heartbreaks also add up to one big benefit – girl is getting really good at it. On a recent trip to New York City, Aniston was spotted out and about town looking absolutely fabulous and with a big smile on her face, a witness said:
“It’s like Jen is on nothing less than a revenge tour. While in the past, Jen shunned publicity and shrank from photographers’ lenses, now she’s openly encouraging the attention, smiling, showing off her body, and creating photo ops!”
The “Object Of My Affection” star even spent some time on August 18th, having dinner with costar Paul Rudd at Nobu (one of her ex, John Mayer’s, favorite restaurants.) A source told OK! that “Jen was glowing, smiling and being very friendly… “over dinner and looked nothing like a woman who’d just split from her boyfriend.
I have to give Jen a standing ovation on this one, she’s definitely showing the world the best possible face through what could be a very trying time. I especially love the way that Aniston is letting the press snap up lots of shots where she’s smiling and happy, an extra special little twist toward her ex, John Mayer, who recently found out that the press only loved him for Jen’s sake.
LAUREN CONRAD - The popular star of “The Hills,” had a good Japanese dinner with friends and was polite. She said the season is going well and things look very smooth in the life of L.C.
“VILLA”——————-
DAVID BECKHAM - The soccer player was hiding and crept out of the side/hidden exit of the lounge. He was in the back of an SUV and Victoria was nowhere in sight. Zoom…he was gone in a puff.
KIM STEWART - Believe it or not, Kim also avoided the regular exit and slipped out the side with the big gate. This was most unusual for Rod Stewart’s daughter, as I have captured her tons of times over the years and she usually loves the cameras and limelight. The tall blonde left Villa just minutes after David Beckham. Coincidence?
“STK”————————
TRACEY EDMONDS - The beauty posed for her close-up and followed that up by taking pictures with young fans.
DAVID WEINTRAUB and SEAN STEWART - The guys hung out and got ready to get their groove on.
FRANKIE DELGADO - Frankie arrived in his Porsche.
“FOXTAIL”————————
NICOLE SCHERZINGER - The hot “Pussycat Doll,” smiled and said hi. It was Foxtail all the way for the dancing sexpot.
“STK”———————-
KYM JOHNSON - I caught up with the “Dancing with the Stars,” fantastic dancer, as she headed to a catch a cab. She was as nice as always and told me her partner for the upcoming season is Warren Sapp. I mentioned that it will be exciting and she agreed. (VIDEO)
JOE FRANCIS - Since he was released from prison, this guy cannot stay away from the club scene. I guess compared to the slammer, clubs must be heaven on earth.
MEL B and STEPHEN BELAFONTE - The “Spice Girl” and husband just announced that she is pregnant. This evening they celebrated with friends at the happening steakhouse. She looked radiant in bright pink and was all smiles. Stephen was curious about the paparazzi industry and asked a few questions. Mel posed with the Director of “Stuart Little.” (VIDEO)
RIHANNA - The superstar singer made a rare appearance. She sat in the front seat of a large SUV and looked terrific. They took her into the garage and I’d see her again upon her exit a bit later.
TARYN MANNING - The actress looks good with her new, long hair.
RIHANNA - After her relaxing and enjoyable night out on the town, the singer and friends pulled out of the garage of STK.
“VILLA”—————————-
RIHANNA - It was around 3 am when her SUV exited out of the side of Villa. She did not mind being seen earlier at STK, but for some reason, they went to an incredible amount of trouble to shield her from the cameras. The folks who work at the lounge held umbrellas in front of her and this time she was not visible in the front of the SUV. In fact, she was pretty invisible and it turned out to be a complete waste of time for me. Too bad I didn’t end the night after she left STK. (VIDEO)
It must have come as a surprise to Democratic Presidential candidate Barrack Obama, when after his wife’s speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), in Denver, he attempted to surprise his two daughters with a video conference call. The DNC was full of celebrities this year all out to support Obama’s candidacy, though the convention’s star has definitely been the Presidential hopeful. So imagine Barrack’s surprise when:
“The two girls [Malia,10 and Sasha,7] joined their mother Michelle Obama on stage at the DNC, after she finished her stirring speech, unaware that their dad was going to be beamed in live via satellite. When Michelle told the girls that she had a surprise for them, she was probably surprised herself by Malia’s response.
“Is it the Jonas Brothers?” Malia asked excitedly! “
The Obama girls, missed out on a Jonas Brother’s concert in their home town of Chicago to be in Denver and hobnobb with all kinds of celebrities more than twice their age. Because Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas are the reigning kings of the tween crowd and the two girls have already, i’d imagine, met easily a million celebrities, it’s easy to understand why Malia and Sasha would think the Jonas Brothers would be on the video screen.
Don’t worry girls, I’m sure that if/when Daddy gets in the White House you’ll be getting plenty of attention from these three singing heartthrobs.
Malia makes her political faux pas at 56 seconds into the video
Charlie Sheen’s ex and newly minted reality starlet, Denise Richards may be out of work. Apparently the “It’s Complicated” star couldn’t hold audience’s attention after an auspicious start to the series, a source told “The Insider” August 25th that:
“The numbers started out pretty good - just over 1.5 million tuned in for the premiere episode. But the audience has dropped off. ”
So it’s over all ready, after just one season on the air? That doesn’t seem quite right, as the show’s been getting nothing but praise on the internet, called “funny, in a hair-pulling kind of way” on Gawker; and being lauded as “buzzed-about, cringe-inducing”on Defamer. Richards’ “Complicated” show sounds like just the kind of lamentable reality that attracts diehard fans.
Perhaps earlier claims that E! was dropping the show were premature, a rep for the network said on Wednesday, August 26th that:
“The show has not been cancelled–The series has performed well for the network and decisions are still being made regarding a second season.”
There you have it, straight from the networks mouth. The series isn’t canceled – yet anyway. It’s good to know that audiences can look forward to a whole new season of Denise’s mildly off kilter antics in E!’s fall lineup.

Kevin Dillon posing with fans and Adrian Grenier was out with his dogs. Good stuff on the set. (VIDEO)
LINDSAY LOHAN and SAMANTHA RONSON - The DJ and her extremely close friend, drove out of the hotel garage. Lindsay held her large purse in front of her famous mug and one could barely make out that it was her. She wore a ponytail and off they zoomed in Sam’s Porsche. Why is the controversial star hiding? What happened to the Lindsay who used to flash her trade-mark peace sign? Hey girl, there are no secrets…everything is out there, so smile and do your thing! (VIDEO)

Things are looking better and better for America’s Pop Princess, Britney Spears. Back in the studio recording another comeback album, shedding pounds and toning up, seeing her kids on a regular basses and getting all the sketchiest characters out of her entourage. Britney is definitely on top of the world right now, of course she’s going to have to pay for all of her mistakes – literally.
Former lawyers for Spears during her most troubled period in which she contested ex husband Kevin Federline for custody of her two sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston, are claiming that Britney owes them $407,000 in legal fees. Spears already agreed to pay $250,000 worth of Federline’s legal bills from the dispute all while:
“Another attorney, Laura Wasser, who took over the case back in June, claims that she is owed $60,000 for two months of work. Although Federline retains full custody of their sons, Wasser was the attorney who successfully negotiated an agreement that allowed Britney to see her kids more often.”
I’m pretty sure that owing Laura Wasser, the attorney that brokered the final deal between the star singer and her ex husband, $60,000 is something Britney and her conservator father Jamie, will be more than happy to pay. But it seems likely that Jamie and the pop star will be contesting the claims by Britney’s former lawyers.
“Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus had a full day of shopping and basking in attention Saturday. Check out Art’s video above of Miley hitting all the major shopping hotspots in Beverly Hills with “Hannah Montana” costar Emily Osment and Miley’s mother, Tish Cyrus:
“The trio stopped by an art gallery and browsed the inventory, but didn’t come away with anything.”
Anything but a police escort that is! The girls hit a few shops, gathering a crowd of fans and press as they went, before hitting the art gallery. Miley posed in front of the pieces for fans inside and then called for a police escort to keep the anxiously waiting press a safe distance from her precious person, so she’d have ample room to strut away in big blue boots. And the crowd just ate it up! Truly she is the Golden Child of Hollywood right now.
Young comedienne, Amanda Bynes, 22, was in a fender bender involving a white Ford mustang Saturday August 23rd, while driving her 2008 BMW X5 in Hollywood at around 2:45pm. The “Hairspray” star made a left turn in front of the mustang and both cars collided, Officer Ana Aguirre, spokeswoman for the LAPD said that neither car was severely damaged:
“It was a straight accident. There was no evidence of any type of crime involving any drugs or alcohol…There were no injuries to anyone.”
Despite the apparent lack of injuries at the scene, the other driver complained of feeling aches and pains but agreed to seek medical attention on their own. For more information on the accident, plus an exclusive interview with Jennifer Grotsky, the other driver, check out E.L. Woody’s video of the wreck above.
