Heather Locklear Checks Herself Into Treatment Center


People is reporting that actress Heather Locklear has checked herself into an Arizona facility seeking treatment for psychological issues.

"Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression. She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment. This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released," a rep for Locklear told Access Hollywood.

Back in March, paramedics responded to a 911 call for a suicidal subject at Locklear's home.

However, it was found the call did not originate from her residence and when authorities arrived, no problem was found.

Following the bizarre incident, a rep for Locklear said her client was fine and not in need of medical assistance.

Can't Go To Britain, So Prague It is For Martha




Martha Stewart is taking her visa denial from Britian all in good stride.

This was posted on Stewart's blog:

"Because I cannot yet go to England because of my visa situation, I am leaving Warsaw to go to Prague for a bit of sight-seeing, exploring, and research. We are hoping that the visa situation will be cleared up in time for me to fulfill my business obligations in England next week. We will keep you posted. "

Calm, cool and collected....that's Martha Stewart for you.

Britian Snubbing Martha Stewart



The Brits don't cater much to Martha Stewart--at least not since the Queen of Domesticity was convicted in 2004 for lying about a stock sale..


The 66 year old Stewart was planning to go to Britain for business meetings, as well as taking her crew to film a series of segments for her much-watched American TV show, including a visit to the Wedgwood potteries in Stoke-on-Trent. Wedgwood is the sole manufacturer of her fine china collection, which she promotes in her shows. She was also scheduled to film segments at the Chelsea Physic Garden, Daylesford Organic Farm Store and at Petersham House.But now that Stewart's visa has been denied, those meetings and plans will have to wait. Maybe permanently. This is probably not such a good move for Britain, considering the economy of late.

According to Britain's Home Office, the government "opposes the entry of individuals to the UK where their presence is not conducive to the public good or where they have been found guilty of serious criminal offences abroad.”

Wow. I guess Martha Stewart is really threating to the Brits.


I can't imagine this snafu with Britain will do much to deter or dismay Martha Stewart--this is one determined lady who always seems to take things in stride.

I mean, if this 'celebrity of everything home' can come out of a jail term and rebuild her empire once again--I doubt Britain snubbing Stewart will bother her too much.

Reporter's Question Angers Jada Pinkett Smith




Jada Pinkett Smith, son Jaden,9, and daughter Willow, 7, all attended the premiere of Willow's new movie, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl last night.

Why the angry look on Jada's face?

A reporter asked Smith if she thought her husband, Will Smith, was having an affair with actress Charlize Theron. Will Smith and Theron are co-stars in their new superhero film, Hancock, and have been busy on the Red Carpets lately promoting their new film.

Perhaps the nuzzle Will gave Charilze on the Red Carpet

A Family Affair For Kate and Lance


Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong may not be talking about their relationship to Barbara Walters and girls of The View, but pictures say it all anyway.

Kate took her son Ryder, 4, to brunch with boyfriend Lance Armstrong and his three children – Luke, 8, and twins Isabelle and Grace, 6 – at Frankie’s Spuntino in Brooklyn on Sunday.

The girls of the group apparently took one cab, while the boys rode in their own cab to the restaurant.

Kate Hudson's ex husband,rocker Chris Robinson,and his girlfriend also attended the two hour brunch.

Now that is a family affair. Nice for the repectie daddys to have Father's Day with their kiddos, divorces or not. Very cool.

No Lindsay, No Doggie In the Window For You This Time


Paris Hilton was on her way to a photo shoot this past weekend, and decided she “wanted a puppy in the picture with her so it would look cuter.” So Hilton made a pit store at a pet store on Melrose Ave.in Los Angeles, and tried to buy a Yorkie.

But apparently Hilton was met with an employee who was not a fan of Hilton,and told the multiple dog owner that this was clearly “an impulse buy.”

When confronted with the accusation that she has a history of neglecting pups, the source said Hilton screamed, ‘I love my puppies! I want my baby!’”

Kudos for the employee--- Hilton's histrionics didn't change a thing. The puppy stayed put, and Paris Hilton left the store most likely in shock that she had been denied.

The Boys Are Back In Town

Britney Spears Gets a Break in Foot Case


Prosecutors have declined to press charges against Britney Spears over an incident in November 2007 where she allegedly drove her car over the foot of a photographer, according to court documents obtained by Access Hollywood.

There apparently is no evidence that Spears actually ran over the foot of the photographer. Also, the documents suggest that the only way the paparazzi's foot could have been run over would be if the alleged victim put their foot in the way of Britney Spear's tire.

One less court date for Britney's calendar. And one less car accident on Britney's record.

Fun Times For George Clooney?


I guess his heart was never broken, or heals very quickly!

Are Grey's Anatomy and Katherine Heigl About to Part Ways?


Rumblings are getting louder that Katherine Heigl ( who kind of thinks she too good for the Emmys and the writing of Grey's Anatomy) will leave the show for good.

Last week Heigl announced that she was pulling herself out of Emmy contention, saying that the work she did on the show last year did not make her deserving of an Emmy, blaming this on the fact that her character was not given the best possible material to work with.

Heigl's movie, 27 Dresses skyrocketed the Grey's Anatomy star to fame, and since then Heigl has found herself maybe a bit to busy and a bit above (!) for the top-rated TV show.

Recently, Heigl has signed on to star in and produce a movie based on the book, Escape by Carolyn Jessop.

The New York Post, as well as other sources have reported that Heigl may be just about done with Grey’s Anatomy, especially after her move to distance herself from the show and the Emmy Awards.

Michael Jackson's Big Debt


Well the good news for Michael Jackson is that his Neverland Ranch has been saved from foreclosure; bad news for Jackson is that he now owes people in Las Vegas. Me thinks that is a debt he'd better repay.

So how does Michael Jackson plan to pay back his big debt? One way would be by moving to Las Vegas and sign up for an extended stay. His relief from foreclosure came from Colony Capital, who happens to own the Las Vegas Hilton and are major shareholders in the Station Casinos chain.

According to CEO of Colony Capital, Tom Barrack,

"We've been having discussions with Mr. Jackson about a recapitalisation and refinancing of Neverland in addition to various other business opportunities and mutual interests."

I'm thinking the Las Vegas heavyweights are going to own Michael Jackson for a long time.

Sad Father's Day For Family Of Tim Russert


A special NBC’s “Meet the Press,” today honored moderator Tim Russert.

The show, with just one commercial interruption, consisted of brief highlights of Russert’s tenure, interspersed with loving memories from friends and frequent guests.

Tom Brokaw led th special show, and Tim Russet's chair remained empty in tribute. Tom urged everyone not to cry, and for the most part, guests were able to follow those words as they took turns sharing stories of Tim Russert.

Towards the end of the show, Tom Brokaw gave some advice that was heartfelt:

“In memory of Tim, happy Father’s Day, which is best expressed by honoring your father. And if you are a father, by being a good dad, this Sunday and all of the days to come. God bless our friend Tim, son and father.”

The show closed with a Russert montage accompanied by video of Bruce Springsteen — “The Boss” — this weekend dedicating “Thunder Road” to Russert, who was described by Brokaw as “his number-one fan.”

But though Brokaw didn't want tears...the final closing of the show made me cry, and I doubt I was the only one--

"That’s all for today. We’ll be back next week. If it’s Sunday, it’s ‘Meet the Press.’ Happy Father’s Day, especially to Big Russ up in Buffalo. And Luke — I’m real proud to be your dad.

These were the closing words from Tim Russet on a previous Meet the Press.

Funeral arrangements are not complete, but a public memorial service is planned for Wednesday afternoon in Washington at a location that hasn’t been finalized. Tentative plans call for a service at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, friends said. A wake is planned for Tuesday at St. Albans School, and a private funeral Mass is to be held Wednesday morning.

Wedding Blues For Mariah Carey


Looks like Mariah Carey's plans for a big wedding have been cancelled.

Why?

Because no magazines were interested in buying exclusive photographs which would have funded the day.

Ah. Poor Mariah.

In Touch Weekly magazine says a source told them that “The small wedding in the Bahamas was nice, but it was not Mariah’s style.

But I don't get it...can't Mariah and new hubby Nick Cannon afford to pay for a wedding ceremony themselves?

Another Baby For Hedi Klum?


Heidi Klum says she is not done....meaning maybe one more baby for her and hubby, Seal. In a Redbook interview, Klum says,

"So many people say, 'I am so done.' That hasn't come out of my mouth, and it hasn't come out of Seal's mouth either. I feel like we still have one coming."

"I do miss being pregnant," says Klum. "Children are very addictive. Once they start growing up, you miss when they were little."

Klum's first child, Leni, was fathered by Formula 1 tycoon Flavio Briatore. The two she shares with Seal, Henry and Johan, are two and one respectively.

Klum and Seal met while she was pregnant with Leni in 2004. The couple married a year later on a beach in Mexico.

The Bachelor Moves Out!


Matt Grant, remember the last bachelor from "The Bachelor: London Calling", has moved out of fiancee Shayne Lamas' condo.

Trouble in paradise?

No, says Grant.

The couple have lived together at Lamas’s Century City, Calif., place since The Bachelor season ended with Grant presenting Lamas with the rose and an engagement ring. But Grant moved out because he says the two need space to grow.

“I had to get my own life out here (in L.A.),” says Grant. “Get my career and friends and have my own circle. That’s important in a relationship. That you are not entirely on top of someone.”

He says the two are still engaged despite having moved into his own condo in the Valley. And he insists that he’s had no second thoughts about choosing Lamas: “I made the right decision.”

When asked if the two are in love, Grant responds: “Definitely. I wouldn’t be engaged if I wasn’t.”

Immunization Debate Heats Up Between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards


Is there anything these two do not fight about?

Denise Richards wants to have her two little girls immunized, and so does the girls' pediatrician.

Charlie Sheen, daddy of the two little girls, most emphatically does not want his daughters immunized. Sheen's lawyer sent a letter to the pediatrician telling the doc that he'll be hit with a lawsuit if the kids get immunized, according to reports.

I am pretty sure Jenny McCarthy and her boyfriend, Jim Carrey, would agree with Sheen on this issue.


Children and immunizations
is a debate that many on both sides of the issue feel strongly about. But for Charlie and Denise, it looks like once again they will be heading to a judge to settle their disagreement.

to immunize or not to immunize....how do you feel on the issue?

Madonna Denies Divorce


Rumors have been floating around that Madonna and her hubby Guy Ritchie are heading to divorce court.

And when Guy failed to show up to his wife's Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction in March, it just fueled the rumors even more.

The multimillionaire couple have one son together, Rocco, as well as David Banda, who was adopted. Madonna's daughter, Lourdes, is from a past relationship.

The Real Housewives Have a Cat Fight Backstage


Meeeeow!

The Real Housewives of Orange County
apparently will not being having coffee with their counterparts, The Real Housewives Of New York, anytime soon.

The various housewives were together Wednesday for the taping of the Bravo A-List Awards.

But East Coast housewives don't mix well with West Coast housewives, it seems. "She said, she said" was going on backstage, along with finger pointing and maybe--maybe--some actual scratching??

Most of the arguing seemed to center around 'non-housewife' Bethenny Frankel from NYC Housewives and Jeana Tomasina (formerly Keogh).

According to Frankel, problems started when the OC Housewives had problems with the script.

They [The O.C. Housewives] said in our material that my apartment is a two-by-four, and it’s actually a one-by-two, and so I can take it, I don’t care,” Frankel told PEOPLE. “But they’re offended that I’m saying something about them living 65 miles from the beach. Jeana said, ‘I don’t think that’s funny.’”

Tamra Barney from the Orange County Housewives, tells the story differently.

Barney asserts that Bethany Frankel actually came after her physically:

Bethenny scratched me a little bit. I swear to god. She tried to get me from behind and I put my arm up, and she scratched me. I covered it with makeup.”

And while Frankel denied that the cat fight came to physical blows, she did indicate that the argument was far from over.

Watch what happens,” Frankel warned, adding:

Give me a can of hairspray and a match, and I’ll take care of that in the dressing room later.”

The ladies from the O.C. cast seem prepared for the ensuing battle, though. Barney’s response? “The Housewives of the O.C. can kick the Housewives of N.Y.C.’s ass!”


MEOW!

Mario Lopez Not Dancing With Karina Smirnoff Anymore


It's over. We think for real this time. Mario Lopez and his on again/off again girlfriend from Dancing With the Stars, Karina Smirnoff, have broken up.

The two dancing partners from season 3 of Dancing With The Stars, started doing more than just dancing in 2006. Though they remained silent about their relationship, they were spotted vacationing in Mexico together shortly after coming in second on the dancing competition. The following May, Lopez, 34, and the Ukrainian-born Smirnoff moved in together.

Rumors started circulating in April that said Lopez and Smirnoff were splitting up, but according to Karina at the time, she and Mario were doing just fine.

Lopez issued the following statement through his rep: “Karina and I have the utmost respect for each other. She is a phenomenal and talented woman. I support her always and feel blessed to have her in my life.”

And word from Karina's camp-- according to her rep., “Karina has parted ways with her two year relationship with Mario Lopez,” says Smirnoff’s spokesperson. “The relationship wasn’t heading in the right direction.”

Go Green --- Wear a Recycled Dress Like Sarah Jessica Parker


Well, we all know that Sarah Jessica Parker was very upset when she found out that the dress she wore to the New York City premiere of her Sex and The City movie had been worn before. Twice.

Oops. This is a definite "NO NO" by Carrie Bradshaw standards. So how did this dress do-over happen?

Parker explained to The New York Times that she had a fitting for the elegant Nina Ricci gown, under the eye of Olivier Theyskens. The fitting went just fine. The elegant gown, with a gold sash and full of crinkly silver metallics that draped to the floor, met with approval from Parker, and her alter-ego Carrie. But Parker says when she mentioned her surprise at the dress not having been worn before, Olivier Theyskens assured it had not been worn before.

uh--- maybe Theyskens just forgot about when he escorted Lauren Santo Domingo down the Red Carpet, in said dress, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala on May 5.

Mario Grauso, president of the fashion division at Puig, which owns Nina Ricci, explaied the dress debacle this way:

Parker and her stylist had asked if the dress had been photographed, according to the Times. He also said there was not a reason to mention that Santo Domingo wore the dress.

"Is Lauren a celebrity? It depends on how you look at it," he said.

Ouch! Me thinks Lauren Santo Domingo might just be a little upset by that remark. And we know Sarah Jessica Parker is peeved. Now my guess would be Mario Grauso just lost a couple of clients--not to mention the fate of Olivier Theyskens.

But really now, should Sarah be this upset? After all, her Sex and The City is doing great at box offices since the movie officially was released in theaters in May, and at the New York premiere, Sarah looked beautiful in the aforementioned dress-- Carrie would have been proud!

Besides, wouldn't recycling dresses be considered "Going Green?" Maybe Sarah would feel better if she thought about the dress mess as just her contribution to saving the planet.

Rehab for Tatum O'Neal?


I sure hope so.

Tatum O'Neal was arrested Sunday evening for allegedly buying crack cocaine from a street dealer near her home in Manhattan.

Since then, Tatum appeared in a Manhattan court Monday morning, where she was arraigned on a misdemeanor charge of possession of a controlled substance. She entered no plea.

O'Neal was released and left the courthouse with her attorney. Her return to court is scheduled for July 28th.

Reportedly police found two bags of cocaine in her front pants pockets when they picked her up on Sunday night around 7:30 p.m.

When they approached O'Neal, a police source said she asked them, "You know who I am, right?"

She told cops she was out on Clinton Street buying drugs because she was "researching a part," said the source.

"Can't we just forget about this?" she asked.

The DA is said to be recommending drug treatment for O'Neal.

The MTV Movie Awards Recap


The MTV Movie Awards went ahead as scheduled tonight, fire or not. Although Universal Studios Theme Park was closed, as well as City Walk, the star-studded movie awards at the Universal Studios did not skip a beat.

Mike Myers
and Dana Carvey, the hosts for the night, resurrected their "Saturday Night Live" characters Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, the cable access hosts of "Wayne's World." The MTV Movie Awards has it's winners chosen by viewers who cast votes online. And the winning stars get to know beforehand that they have won.

So who did viewers like this year?

For one, Johnny Depp. He won Best Comedic Performance award for his turn as pirate Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." Depp won again tonight for Best villain Award, for playing the titular killer in "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street."

Best Female Peformance went to Ellen Page of "Juno". In the category of "Best Summer Movie So Far", "Iron Man" crushed the competition, which included some heavies, like the back-to-back blockbusters "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "Sex and the City."

Will Smith took Best Male Performance for his work in "I Am Legend." Smith shared a memory with the audience, saying "I was sitting there with my little man [son Jaden, who accompanied him onstage] and I remembered that I was on this stage in 1988. And to be here today in 2008, I just really want to say thank you, guys," Smith said. "I haven't always made great movies, but I've been trying real hard."

The 2008 MTV Generation Award went to Adam Sandler, who was introduced with much praise by Tom Cruise. Sandler paid himself tribute as well, by singing Carly Simon's "James Bond" anthem "Nobody Does It Better" while a montage of his movie clips scrolled on the big screen.

And Best Film Of The Year was won by robots...well Transformers, to be exact. The blockbuster about robots in disguise took home the golden popcorn trophy.

Accepting the best film award with director Michael Bay, "Transformers" co-star Megan Fox trotted out some R-rated language to describe how good the film's sequel is going to be. Bay said the film would begin shooting the following day and take place two years after the first film.

And if they handed out an award for the strangest moment of the MTV Movie Awards Show, it would have to go to Presenters Seth Rogen and James Franco, stars of the upcoming stoner comedy "Pineapple Express," for pretending to smoke marijuana before handing out the popcorn trophy for the new category of best summer movie so far.

"Kids, don't really smoke fake weed like this," Rogen sarcastically told the crowd at the Gibson Amphitheatre.

As they pulled out the "contraband," the cameras pulled away to a wide angle, staying that way until Rogen and Franco left the stage. The awkward moment made some in the audience laugh, but left Robert Downey Jr. who accepted the award on behalf of "Iron Man" with a puzzled look.

"Thanks fellas," he said, "for that intoxicating introduction."
