Ashlee Simpson appeared on the July cover of Marie Claire magazine extolling the virtues of appreciating one’s body as it is — then she had a nose job.

Marie Claire readers erupted in fury at what they said was Ms. Simpson’s hypocrisy and the magazine’s “cluelessness.” They wrote 1,000 letters in protest to the magazine, according to Joanna Coles, the new editor of the magazine. And she agreed with them.
In the first issue (due Aug. 15) over which she exercises full editorial control, Ms. Coles gives expanded space in the letters column to readers to vent against Ms. Simpson. Ms. Coles adds in a note: “We’re dazed and confused — and disappointed — by her choice, too!”

Rare is the day when the editor of a women’s magazine will openly criticize a celebrity. But Ms. Coles is planting a flag: A new Marie Claire is in town and it is making a clean break with its past. No girly goo, no teeny-bopper covers, no blind obedience to the traditional rules of the road.

Umm, so this begs the question: What would Joe do?

I guess it is true what they say, life really does imitate art or in Luke Wilson’s case a shitty chick flick:

LUKE Wilson admits he’s a real horror show when it comes to breaking up with girls. “Even if I want out, I don’t have the guts to just leave,” the star of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend,” who has dated Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, told Howard Stern on Sirius Satellite Radio. “I just start acting really surly and cranky until they leave me. I don’t think anything’s over the line when you want out. You see the fence, and you just start running for it.” Asked how long he has to act like a heel before a paramour flees in disgust, Wilson says, “I’d say you need 90 days. It’s almost like double time, though, because three months feels like six months because you’re so horrible to be with.”

Why not take a shortcut and start banging other chicks. I bet the soon-to-be-ex will get the hint in notime…

“The Tonight Show” had an unscripted moment Thursday when a woman from the audience walked up to Colin Farrell as he was talking to host Jay Leno. The 30-year-old actor quickly escorted her off stage and asked for security.

“She said something to Colin Farrell that no one heard, then he took her by the elbow, led her off stage, asked the cameramen to turn off their cameras and asked for security,” said Molly Mattaini, who was visiting from St. Paul, Minn. […]

Mattaini, 16, said Farrell returned to the stage and apologized to the audience.

“He sat back down and said, ‘My first stalker,’ and Jay Leno said, ‘Welcome to celebrity,’” Mattaini said.

Creepy shit.

So a lot has been written about Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro’s recent split and Dave’s new girlfriend, which is cool I guess, but, according to Dave, not true:

1. Do you have a girlfriend?

No. I have been living at home, touring, making and promoting a record or shooting Rockstar for the past several months. There is absolutely no way I could be living with someone in New York.

2. What does amicably separated mean?

It means that Carmen and I love each other, we are and always will be best friends. In fact, we are supporting each other through this time. What better way to get through a tough spot than with your best friend?

I don’t know, lots of ice cream and rum maybe? Wait. I think that was a rhetorical question.

“I was in love with her from the start,” [Justin] Timberlake, 25, says in the August issue of GQ. […]

“When we initially parted ways [in 2002], I felt like she had a couple of opportunities to just sort of stick up for me, and she didn’t,” says Timberlake about [Britney] Spears, 24, publicly blaming him for the split. His answer? “I fought back…I came up with a song.” That would be “Cry Me a River,” which called out Spears’ rumored infidelity with his pal Wade Robson (she denied it). […]

Though he says he wishes Spears well, Timberlake calls his first love “so high school,” and refers to his “adult” relationship with Cameron Diaz, 33 (they’ve been together since 2003). “Justin moved on…a long time ago,” says Harless [Justin’s mom].

And so did everybody else it seems. Shitney’s so last century.

Who would have thought, Paul McCartney and Heather Mills are getting ready to fling some serious shit against the proverbial fan:

Recently a British tabloid claimed that 1) there’s a tape of an incendiary phone conversation between the ex-Beatle and his daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney; 2) the recording had fallen into Heather’s hands; 3) Stella says very nasty things about Heather; and 4) Heather thereafter confronted Sir Paul.

Reps for Paul and Heather had no comment, and Stella’s rep did not return calls. […]

“It’s taken a turn for the worse,” says another close source. “Heather can be explosive, but Paul has a furious temper too. There are a lot more punches to come before the blood is on the mat.”

Yay!

Beyoncé Knowles really seems to have figured it all out:

Knowles, who’s usually mum about boyfriend Jay-Z, also comments about their relationship, saying, “It’s very easy. He’s so quick. And we respect each other. If I have any suggestions he respects it. If he has any suggestions, I respect it. It’s just, I don’t know, easy. And fun.”

That’s deep, girl. No really. It’s profound.

Carmen Electra confirms that peeing your pants in public is the new pink in Hollywood.

I wonder if this trend will catch on. I hope it does not, but then again stranger things have happened.

I on the other hand claim she’s still as dumb as a brick wall:

PREGNANT Britney Spears reckons she has an obsessive compulsive disorder - she can’t stop cleaning.

The singer, who’s married to waste of space wannabe rapper Kevin Federline, fears she’ll lose her glamorous mystique when fans discover she’s can’t keep away from her rubber gloves and duster.

Umm, I’m pretty sure the whole “glamorous mystique” - whatever the fuck that is - went down the shiter the day she hooked up with her portable Joe Dirt reject.

UPDATE: We have been notified by Jude Law’s lawyers that our popbitch-referenced sex party story is full of shit. The absence of a nanny theme should’ve ticked us off. Alas, it did not. I guess that’s why they say hindsight is 40/40.

We act for Jude Law. We have written to Popbitch and informed them that this story is completely untrue and highly defamatory of our client. They have confirmed that they are in the process of withdrawing it from their site. Kindly inform us that you will do the same immediately.

Well, what can I say, when a guy doesn’t want to get his freak on, he just doesn’t want to get his freak on. That’s cool. We don’t judge.
