U.S. swimmer and Olympic gold medal winner Michael Phelps, channeling former U.S. swimmer and Olympic gold medal winner, Mark Spitz.

Shia Leboeuf making a statement in Glendale, CA by wearing a paper bag over his head and plastic bags as gloves in an attempt to “disguise” himself from the paparazzi.

Of course another way to prevent the paparazzi from following you around would be to NOT walk around in broad daylight wearing a paper bag over your head -but then they might not think you’re relevant.

Someone who has no problem with being photographed is Chris Evans, seen here in L.A. last night. Chis’ new action flick, “Push,” opens in theatres February 6th. Check out the official site push-themovie.com.

According to Page Six, a source claims 21-year-old “Transformers” star Shia LaBeouf was at Beatrice Inn on West 12th street one night recently “desperately seeking a lady . . . but none of the hipster hotties were standing for it.” The source goes on to say that Shia “finally turned to one woman and whined a line that will send any guy home solo: ‘How do I get a girl to go home with me?’”

Tis’ the season to be jolly…or in this case, gay.

Above are images of 35-year-old, latin pop sensation Ricky Martin, as he goes through security at LAX Airport this past Saturday.

Ricky has traded in his usually festive Queer Eye attire for a more hard-core, circuit partier look. He also revealed that nothing comes between him and his Calvins as he gave spectators a flash of his Menudo maker.

Celebrities rarely need an excuse to let their inner freak out, so come Halloween night, Hollywood turns into one huge psychiatric ward for the rich and famous. Without further ado, here are a few celebrities who were possessed by the Halloween spirit.

According to director Brett Ratner, it’s a pretty common occurrence for a straight guy to “unknowingly” receive oral sex from a transvestite and joke about it with his equally unsuspecting buddies.

Yeah right Brett, straight guys always sit around watching football, drinking beer and talking about the chicks with dicks they scored with the night before.

In a recent interview with The Advocate’s Paul Pratt, the director of such cinema classics as X-Men: The Last Stand and Rush Hour 1 & 2, defended himself against accusations that the latest installment in the Rush Hour franchise features anti-gay humor, by claiming one scene in particular is actually a page out of his own life:

Advocate: What about when the girl takes off her wig and Chris Tucker becomes angry and accuses her of being a man?

Ratner: No, no! That’s from my personal experience. My first blow job was from a man, but I didn’t know it was a man. That’s where that comes from. It’s based on personal experience. It happens to a lot of people.

Advocate: Is that common knowledge?

Ratner: No! Well, among my friends, but I’m not homophobic or uptight about it. That happens to a lot of heterosexuals. You meet a girl in a bar, and it turns out she’s not a girl. I think a girl should tell you if she’s a girl or a man – that way it’s your preference. That specific idea was because it’s happened to me. It’s happened to my friends. We’ll get together with a girl, and it’ll turn out to be a guy. The reaction is “Oh, shit!” if you’re not gay, which is funny, I think. Getting into the situation is funny. I laugh whenever I see one of my friends talking to a girl, and I’ll ask, “Is that a man or a woman?” It’s funny, especially if you don’t know about it. If you know about it, fine. If that’s your preference…

During the interview, Ratner also seemed very curious about a particular populace of the gay community:

Ratner: So, during my last gay interview, the guy was on the Internet and said, ‚Äö?Ñ??I‚Äö?Ñ?¥m looking at you right now, and you‚Äö?Ñ?¥re a bear.‚Äö?Ñ?? What‚Äö?Ñ?¥s a bear?

Advocate: For starters, it means you‚Äö?Ñ?¥re hairy.

Ratner: There‚Äö?Ñ?¥s no hair on my ass. I have no hair on my balls. So why am I a bear?

Advocate: Is there hair on your chest?

Ratner: [Pulls down his collar] A little bit, but barely. Look at my legs! [Pulls up his pant leg] Look at my legs. I’m not a hairy “bear.” I don’t even have hair on my back!

No Brett, you’re not a hairy “bear,” you’re more the submissive bottom, “cub” type. One gets the distinct feeling a remake of The Village People musical, “Can’t Stop The Music,” could very well be in Ratner’s future.

According to Mike Walker of The National Enquirer, Angelina Jolie took a break from filming her new movie “Wanted” in Prague recently, to purchase some “toys” from a local sex shop. Jolie apparently bought a black leather garter belt and a black riding crop at the shop, aptly named “Erotic City”.

“Since Angelina doesn’t ride horses in her movie”, writes Walker, “this week’s intriguing gossip question is: If the idea is to whip up a little consensual fun, who’s the whip-ee? Or is the crop simply a decorator accessory destined to hang on a wall?”

Although Angelina has made no secret of being sexually adventurous, the fact that this piece of gossip is being reported by The National Enquirer, gives cause to take the news with a grain of salt. Still though, it’s fun to imagine Brad Pitt bent over Jolie’s knee and having his bare butt whipped, all the while confessing what a bad boy he’s been.

“Britney is asking her most die-hard fans for some assistance in order to name her upcoming album.” So reads the latest update to Britney Spears official site, britneyspears.com, just a day after the nip-slip above failed to generate any excitement. The list of so-called “possible album titles” include:

1. Omg is Like Lindsay Lohan Like Okay Like
2. What if the Joke is on You
3. Down boy
4. Integrity
5. Dignity

Deciphering the Da Britney Code:

With Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton dominating the media spotlight the past few weeks, perhaps Spears was feeling a bit neglected and figured that by falling out of her dress (“Dignity”) and taking a jab at one of her fellow party girls (“Omg is Like Lindsay Lohan Like Okay Like”), the world might shift their focus and take notice of her once again (“Integrity”).

In order for fans to vote on the “proposed” album title, they must first join Britney’s fan club, which at the rate of $24.95 a year in U.S. dollars, would make it one very exclusive club (“What if the Joke is on You”).

And that, in a Cheetos bag, is a look into Britney Spears’ psyche (“Down boy”).

Ginger Beef
Former “Spice Girl” Geri Halliwell‚Äö?Ñ?¥s trainer-cum-bodyguard is one huge dude. Halliwell and her hulk of a hunk, who works for the personal training company Outdoor Extreme, are seen here going for a power walk in Hampstead Heath in North London, England, on Tuesday afternoon.

Even though 34 year-old Halliwell stands at a petit 5? 2¬¨?‚Äö?Ñ?? feet tall, that still makes her trainer nearly 7 feet tall! And you know what they say about big men –they like to wear Jimmy Choos.

The former “Ginger Spice” is reported to be working out hard in order to look her best for a new British talk show and “Spice Girls” reunion. See more of Ginger Spice and The Incredible Hunk at the Gotham Journal Flickr gallery.

Paris When It Fizzles
Paris Hilton and her Hollywood talent agency Endeavor, have parted ways after two years of doing business together.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the agency announced Paris “is no longer a client of Endeavor,” but People magazine reports the agency had dropped her last Friday, the same day she caused a media frenzy when she was ordered back to jail to complete her sentence for violating probation in a drunken-driving case.

Endeavor, which represented Hilton since 2005 and handled her deal for the reality TV show “The Simple Life,” announced its separation in a company-wide memo.
