Perez Hilton is seen here grimacing like a little girl when the fist from nowhere pounds him in the face in a Toronto night club. The internet blogger to the stars claims the fist belongs to Black-Eyed Pea Will I. Am’s manager, Polo Molina.
The whole ruckus began when Fergie, fellow bandmate, confronted Perez about the attacks launched at her on his site. Will I. Am later approached Perez with his manager about the same subject.
With a crowd surrounding Perez, Will and Will’s manager, Polo — the guys argue back and forth for about a minute, until Perez tells Will, “you’re not a f**king artist … you’re a f**king f*ggot.”
Then the fist comes. Perez says Will’s manager hit him two or three times.
Not only are the peas pissed at Perez, the GLAAD association has released a statement pounding Perez for his use of gay slurs during the altercation.

Jack Black has officially taken all the focus off Sarah Palin with his latest appearance on David Letterman. Monday night, Jack was promoting his new movie, Year One, when he broke out into song and dropped the f-bomb.
Typically Dave’s people would have censored the foul language…but this one slipped through the cracks. Since it was after 10 pm, they are both in the clear with the FCC. We’re just glad there is a new buzz about Letterman, and it has nothing to do with Sarah Palin.

The highly-publicized and biblically-correct Miss California, Carrie Prejean is officially out! But not because of her religious beliefs say top Miss USA Pageant officials, including the Trumpster himself.

In a press release, unveiled just yesterday, Miss USA California officials claim Prejean failed to attend over 30 events scheduled by the organization.
“…after our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship…”
“…it has become abundantly clear that Carrie is unwilling to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.”
The Miss USA Organization maintains that the firing of Prejean is strictly based on Carrie breaching her contract. It’s not based on her political and moral views. Her replacement is Miss Malibu Tami Farrell.

48-year-old Scottish singing sensation, Susan Boyle was admitted to a London clinic on Sunday, just after her surprising defeat on “Britain’s Got Talent.” She is said to be suffering from exhaustion.
Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan told GMTV that Boyle was “emotionally drained and exhausted” after being put under more pressure than any other contestant in the show.
“Nobody has had to put up with the kind of attention Susan has had, nobody could have predicted it. It has been crazy, she has gone from anonymity to being the most downloaded woman in history.” Morgan went on to say that Susan was “essentially fine” and just needed to catch up on her rest.
The seemingly shy and reserved Scot soared to super-stardom after her initial appearance on the “Britain’s Got Talent” received millions of views on YouTube.
The show’s winners, Diversity took 24.9% of the public vote in the final, beating Boyle’s 20.2% share. The contestant in third place, saxophonist Julian Smith, gained 16.4% of the vote.

Federal prosecutors have dropped the remaining tax evasion charge against 33-year-old race car driver, Helio Castroneves. He was indicted on the charge of Conspiracy to Defraud the U.S. and Tax Evasion last Fall, for allegedly not paying taxes on more than $5 million.
According to the indictment, Helio and two others are accused of using “an offshore Panamanian shell corporation Seven Promotions to conceal and disguise the true and correct amount of Helio Castroneves’ income from the Internal Revenue Service.”
Helio was indicted along with his sister, Katiucia Castroneves and lawyer, Alan Miller. They are accused of trying to “conceal and disguise” the driver’s income. One of the charges claims Helio received $2 million in salary from a Brazilian trading company but made it appear that he only received $200,000.
The former Dancing With The Stars champion is now completely in the clear since was acquitted of all charges (except this one) just last month. To celebrate, Castroneves took the checkered flag in Sunday’s Indianopolis 500, where he earned a record $3 million for his third win in the historic race.

It’s a much debated topic. Wearing white before Easter: an out-dated trend or fashion faux pas?
The rule is no white shoes before Easter or after Labor Day. White shoes are for summer and deemed “tacky” any other season. Winter white clothing in the colder months is acceptable, white shoes of any kind (excluding sneakers) are not. But the ultra-sophisticate rule has been down-played in recent years. Even Oprah has denounced the rule as out-of-date and silly.
Silly it may be, but the origins of this fashion guideline stem from centuries of grooming southern belles. The white rule is more of a southern thing and relates to the changes in the weather. White reflects sunlight, thus keeping you cooler in the hot months of summer. White is not very practical during the Winter, you want to absorb all the sunlight you can. Over the years, the rule has morphed and bent, leaving some unaware of the age-old trend.
The battle continues. You can decide for yourself whether this rule is bull or a true fashion faux pas. As for me, I will save my white kicks for the summer.

It is called Objectum Sexuality (OS), the love affair between a human and an inanimate object. They are called Objectophiles, people who are in love with an object. This is not just a simple fascination with a structure, or a love like you love your favorite sweater or a new pair of shoes. This is a full-on romantic and intimate relationship between a person and a bridge, a fence, a plane, or like the case of Erika Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
It sounds so silly, but there are actually people who are “in love” with objects or structures. 37-year-old professional archer and trained martial artist, Erika, “married” the Eiffel Tower in a commitment ceremony in 2007. She even legally changed her name to reflect the bond she’s made with the tower. I now present to you, Mrs. Erika Eiffel, wife of the Eiffel Tower.

The OS term was first coined by Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer, a 54-year-old woman who has been “married” to the Berlin Wall for 29 years.There are 40 self-proclaimed objectum-sexuals worldwide.
I do have to agree, the Eiffel Tower would be the perfect husband…tall, dark and handsome; the silent type; and always erect.

Michelle Obama has been dubbed a fashion icon and grouped with other fashionistas like Jackie O and Princess Diana. Over the weekend, she became an international fashion icon. The presidential venture to England and France proved to be a gleaming opportunity for first lady fashion.
Mrs. O arrived in Strasbourg, France on Friday wearing a stunning coat and matching dress by Thakoon. Her look rivaled that of France’s first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy when the two appeared together at the Palais Rohan. Bruni-Sarkozy donned her expected grey Dior duds. The French first lady is known for only sporting top French designers like Versace, Dior, Armani, etc.
Later that night, the lovely Mrs. O attended the NATO concert in Baden-Baden, Germany. She wore a classic black tea-length gown with a tulle skirt by Azzedine Alaia. The stunning collar and three-quarters sleeve stole the show.
Then on a more casual note, the first lady showed up at the Strasbourg Cathedral in France on Saturday wearing a sporty coat, again by designer Azzedine Alaïa, and an Etro print top. Later that day she arrived in Prague in a sleek black dress by Narciso Rodriguez and black jacket by, once again, Azzedine Alaia.
Touring Prague with Czech First Lady Livia Klausova on Sunday, Michelle wrapped up her tour with a big, fat bow! A bow shirt by Moschino, that is, with a black Michael Kors skirt and, you guessed it, Azzedine Alaia cardigan. Her go-to kitten heels and favorite belt capped off the outfit.
The fashion face-off with the Czech first lady was a little less competitive. Mrs. Obama could have shown up in flannel pajamas and made a bigger impression than Klausova. But she is older and obviously less concerned with fashion, we’ll give her a pass.
And so the Tour de Fashion in France comes to an end. Michelle Obama looked ravishing most all weekend wearing little-known designers and frugal finds. Frugal for the first lady, that is. We look forward to more refreshing fashion fair from our First Lady.
