“My mom told me that you get those holes in your face, craters… from giving blow jobs. I totally believed her. She’s like, ‘It’s from sucking.’ I’m like, ‘Ewwww!’
“I told my boyfriend - he’s like, ‘Why don’t you ever do that?’ I’m like, ‘Because my mom told me you get these craters.’ And he’s like, ‘Paris, you’re 19. You’re allowed to do this.’ I’ve only done that (fellatio) with maybe three people in my life.”
I guess some sort of noise must have drowned out Paris saying “million” after the “three” in that last quote, because “three” is most likely the number of men she did all at once on her first ride out.
Is someone at CBS is trying to tell Katie Couric something? New ads appearing in the network’s in-house magazine promoting Couric’s debut on “CBS Evening News” show the former “Today Show” co-host 20 pounds lighter courtesy of image editing software Photoshop.
The image on the left shows Couric, 49, as she appeared at the CBS “Upfront” presentation at Carnegie Hall in May of this year, wearing a frumpy light gray suit and her trademark smile. The one on the right shows a much slimmer Katie wearing the same suit, a few shades darker. Couric was unaware of the altered photograph until yesterday, but said she liked the original better. “There’s more of me to love,” she joked.
A spokesman for CBS commented “The picture was retouched without the knowledge of Ms. Couric or CBS News management.” An insider for the magazine insisted the publication was “just following normal industry practice” when it gave Couric a makeover.
Neilsen SoundScan reports Paris Hilton’s first CD is a certified flop. The self titled “Paris”, which features the single “Stars Are Blind,” sold a poor 75,000 copies in the United States, lackluster compared to Christina Aguilera’s first-week sales of 320,000 for her CD “Back To Basics”.
Hilton’s label rushed out her second single, “Turn It Up,” when they learned next week’s projected sales for her musical fiasco are estimated to be about 30,000, a larger than average second week drop. That single didn’t do well either.
One industry source told gossip column Page Six “The international outlook is not much better for her. The international people are not inclined to do a big push since she can’t back up the album with a tour. Obviously, she can’t sing live.” The source added that Hilton was advised a year ago to train her voice, work with choreographers and learn an instrument to prepare for a limited tour, but “obviously she didn’t listen.”
Something tells me Paris isn’t too concerned, everyone knows going out every night, spreading her legs for anything that moves, starting feuds with young Hollywood starlets and hacking into other people’s voicemail accounts are far more important to her than some silly old record company’s investments. “Stars” might be “blind” but the public is not and karma is still the bigger bitch.
Model turned actress Amber Valletta has entered rehab for “work stress, image issues” and nonsubstance-related addiction. It’s anyones’ guess what exactly “image issues” and a “nonsubstance-related addiction” are, but I’m betting it’s just a fancy way of saying “I’m entering the publicity generating, career-boosting, celebrity rehab game.” That’s ok though, Amber’s one person we don’t mind seeing more often.
Kellan Lutz is photographer Bruce Weber’s latest muse. Much like Joseph Sayers before him, Lutz is also a veteran of A&F catalouges, magazine covers and print ads. Unlike Sayers however, Lutz is also a very busy aspiring actor.
Kellan was last seen in HBO’s short-lived series “The Comeback” and has several upcoming film and TV projects under his belt, among them the snowboarding actioner “Deep Winter” and the cannibal horror flick “The Tribe”.
Nicole Richie pays homage to Audrey Hepburn in her father Lionel Richie’s new video “I Call It Love.” In the video, Nicole sports a pair of Swarovski crystal embedded sunglasses from Bulgari’s new Astrale collection, while looking lovingly through a Bulgari’s window in a Breakfast At Tiffany’s movie moment.
Ever since her infamous falling out with ex-best friend Paris Hilton, Nicole has managed to aquire an air of class about her, opting to keep her legs closed and maintain a lower profile than her Simple Life media whore costar.
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s musical “South Pacific” gets a fresh makeover in this production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning blockbuster performed live in concert at Carnegie Hall on June 9th, 2005.
Based on James Michener’s collection of short stories “Tales of the South Pacific”, this version restores Robert Russell Bennett’s original orchestrations from the 1949 Broadway production of “South Pacific” and is presented without the use of sets or backdrops, placing the focus instead on the brilliant musical score and the cast’s breath-taking performances.
The all-star lineup includes Reba McEntire, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Jason Danieley, Alec Baldwin and Lillias White as Bloody Mary performing live on a bare stage with just the orchestra.
PBS aired “South Pacific’ in Concert from Carnegie Hall” on April 26th, 2006 as part of their long-running “Great Performances” series.

After enjoying an extended, sold out run off-Broadway at the Playwrights Horizon theatre, Grey Gardens, the critically acclaimed musical about real life mother and daughter eccentrics Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier, transfers to the Walter Kerr Theater on Broadway this fall.
Previews begin Tuesday, October 3rd 2006 with regular performances commencing on Thursday, November 2nd 2006. Original cast members Christine Ebersole and Mary-Louise Wilson will once again reprise their much-lauded performances as Little Edie and Big Edie Bouvier Beale.
If you get the chance to see “Grey Gardens,” run, don’t walk to see it. I can’t recommend this show highly enough, it is undoubtedly one of the best productions to hit the New York stage in quite some time. The performances, particularly by Ebersole and Wilson, are nothing short of amazing.
