Gotham Journal

I love any story on my favorite gutter trash clan the Federlines, so much so that they’ve earned their very own catagory on Gotham Journal ( and that’s no easy task ). Brit and K-Fed’s antics shows promise of developing into an all-out, drag-out, trailer park soap opera of Roseanne proportions. Read on…

October 18, 2005

By ELLEN GOODSTEIN

Britney Spears is drinking and smoking again, chasing away the baby blues only three weeks after giving birth. Sources say the 23- year-old, who gained 40 pounds during her pregnancy with son Sean Preston, is miserable because she’s overweight and stuck in the house recovering from her C-section.

Worse still, the pop princess seems to be having trouble coping with her role as a new mom ??ᬨ¬•?¬¢?¬¨¬???⬨?Ü and insiders say breaks into crying jags at the drop of a hat.

Said one source: “I think Britney is having a very hard time right now. She hasn’t lost the pregnancy weight and she’s desperate to get back in superstar shape and resume her career.

And Shields has continued her war of words against Cruise following his “dangerous” comments, by offering him a child ticket so he can take Holmes to see her in hit London musical Chicago.

She says, “If he wants to see Chicago, I’ve left him two tickets – one adult, one child.” The actress recently took a swipe at Cruise’s religious beliefs, by saying she wouldn’t take advice from someone who devotes his life to

Fawcett Begs Smith To Love Her Again

Actress Farrah Fawcett is eager to get on Anna Nicole Smith’s good side again, after a brief war of words. Fawcett labeled Smith’s self-titled reality show a “train wreck” in the first episode of her new unscripted series Chasing Farrah. And the former Charlie’s Angels star’s comments proved to be highly offensive to busty heiress Smith, who recently stated in her weekly column for US tabloid the National Enquirer, “Train wreck? Have you seen a mirror lately? Looks like your train wreck came 15 years ago. What did you do anyway, hit your nose on the train? Because it sure needs to be straightened out. It’s a shame you had to talk about me because I really loved you.”

But Fawcett is keen to squash the battle, explaining, “This is so sad. When they were pitching the show to me I said the shows that I did not want to do. I wouldn’t even be capable of doing one like Anna Nicole. I mean, I think she’s very brave, very gutsy. I’m not Anna Nicole, I couldn’t do that. She got mad and wrote something very bad and then at the end she said, ‘It’s too bad because I really loved you.’ So I feel badly. It wasn’t directed at her

Actor Tom Sizemore’s bitter ex Heidi Fleiss has accused the Black Hawk Down star of being a closet homosexual. The former Hollywood Madam won a legal battle with the actor after accusing him of beating her. and now she’s kicking him while he’s down. Sizemore was handed a 17-month prison sentence last month for violating parole conditions arranged after his court battle with Fleiss on Thursday and will serve his time behind bars once his current appeal on another abuse charge is heard. But Fleiss isn’t happy that her ex is heading for jail – she’s still on the attack. The former hooker tells America’s Globe tabloid that Sizemore’s abusive nature towards women comes from his sexual confusion. She says, “Because he’s lousy in bed and very homophobic, I have to wonder if he’s not struggling with his sexuality. If that’s so, he’s really going to hate jail.” Fleiss, 39, also tells the tabloid that she was only in love with the actor for two weeks before she realized he was “dangerous” and “a pathetic loser”.

Parker Slams Cosmetic Surgery Reports

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has quashed reports she’s undergone cosmetic procedures to help her achieve a youthful appearance. The former Sex and the City star is repulsed by the increasing number of female celebrities who are enlisting chemical and surgical means to freshen up their faces, especially when she’s sitting next to an older woman who looks younger than her. And she’s urging Hollywood to stamp out the cosmetic surgery “epidemic” sweeping the glitzy movie town. She says, “I’ve had no Botox, no collagen, nothing. I have lines, but if some of my peers weren’t having things done, I wouldn’t think about it. It’s hard sitting in a room with people who are younger and older than me who don’t have any lines. It’s like an epidemic.”

Spears Slashes Apartment Asking Price

Pop superstar Britney Spears has been forced to slash the asking price for her luxurious New York apartment, because it has struggled to attract potential buyers in the nine months it’s been up for sale. The “Born To Make You Happy” beauty purchased the East Village pad before marrying dancer Kevin Federline last year – and it has since become surplus to requirements. House hunters will have to match the current $5.2 million asking price – the loft-style home was previously available at an inflated $5.9 million. Spears bought the three-bedroom abode which comes complete with a roof-top terrace and a solarium for $3 million in 2002. Previous owners include Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.

Kutcher Offends at Daytona 500

Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher caused great offence at last month’s Daytona 500, when he referred to the race as “the most redneck sport on the planet”. Kutcher was chosen to host the honorary starter at the Florida event, but things soon got a little heated when Nascar bosses had a word with him about his attire. He says, “I offended the people down there… They got upset with me. “I’m doing a little press conference thing ’cause I’m the honorary starter and when I went down they told me that I couldn’t wear blue jeans to the race. They said I had to wear khaki pants and like business attire. “So I’m in the press conference and I’m telling ‘em about it and I’m like, ‘This is like the most redneck sport on the planet and I can’t wear blue jeans!’ And when I said redneck they (gasped) like I was saying something horrible. I’m like, ‘No! I’m a redneck. It’s okay!’ “But I’ve never watched a race in khakis before. And then I’m up there, starting the race… and I look out in the audience and I got my khakis on and nobody else has got khakis on… I felt really overdressed and uncomfortable.”

I just think that they should leave straight people alone, they look fine.”

Oscar-winner Halle Berry’s flop Catwoman and President George W. Bush’s government were the big winners at Saturday’s Golden Raspberry Awards.

Berry shocked film fans when she graciously arrived on stage, clutching her Academy Award, to collect her Worst Actress Razzie at the Los Angeles ceremony. Catwoman won four accolades, including Worst Director for Pitof, Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay.

Berry said, “Oh my gosh, oh my God. I never in my life thought that I would be here, winning a Razzie. It’s not like I ever aspired to be here, but thank you. When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there’s no way you could be a good winner. It was just what my career needed – I was at the top and now I’m at the bottom.”

Meanwhile a host of top Republicans, including Bush, were honored for their ‘performances’ in Michael Moore’s hit documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. The anti-Bush film picked up four accolades including Worst Actor, Worst Supporting Actor for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Worst Supporting Actress for Britney Spears’ cameo and Worst Screen Couple for Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice or his pet goat.

Bush’s California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was also named Worst Razzie Loser of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation’s 25 year history, for actors who received the most nominations without ever winning a trophy.
