Suri Cruise: Santa's little (alien) helper

Life isn't bad for the most oblivious 2-year-old child star in the world. This weekend she helped mom Katie Holmes do some shopping at Fred Segal. Later, Tom beamed them back up to the mothership.

Marcia Cross "desperate" to get back to her pre-babies weight?

It's always a struggle in Hollywood for new moms to shed those pounds fast-and I mean fast. It was quite a serendipitous occurrence, then, that the ongoing writer's strike has made for lots of down time for Bree Hodge to drop some calories! That's great and all, but I wish the writer's strike was over for two reasons: The longer they strike, the longer Marcia jogs...won't be pretty in a few months time. Also, I want to see what happens to Wisteria Lane after that huge tornado! Come on guys, give me something to go on...

Paris and Alex enjoy each other's company

Paris Hilton and (new bf?) Alex Viggo did some last minute holiday shopping at the Beverly Center in LA on Thursday, but don't be fooled- they're actually talking to each other.

Jamie Spears pregnant- Let's all feign surprise

How are people so shocked about this? It was rumored a couple of months ago that Jamie Lynn Spears was knocked up by her longtime what's-his-name boyfriend (how long is a long time for a 16-year-old?) and that she was "keeping the baby". After revealing the news of her pregnancy to her mother, which reportedly happened around Thanksgiving, the two did what seemed to be the best idea at the time- tell it all to OK Magazine. That's what I would have done. Milk that cash cow, Momma Spears.

Miss Puerto Rico's pepper spray claims proved false!

Ingrid Marie Rivera, the reigning Miss Puerto Rico 2008, has a lot of explaining to do, according to police spokesman Stephen Alvarez. The 24-year-old said she was forced to "ice down" her face and body backstage in between segments, and that she didn't know why people would ever think she would lie about this. I still don't, mind telling me?

Is Geri Halliwell too skinny?

Geri looks cute (and teeny tiny) here in her sweats and oversized jeans, and I'm super psyched about the Spice Girls comeback. Is it all the dance rehearsals she's been having, or is it something more? She looks as skinny as Posh in this pic.

Britney runs over another pap's foot!

My feelings about Brit Brit have officially come full circle. I started off about a year ago feeling sorry for her and all the constant media scrutiny about how she lives her life and raises her children. Then, I got irritated at her erratic and irresponsible behavior. Now, I look at this picture and can't help but feel pity for the falling pop star. As Britney was driving to the Beverly Hills Hotel the other night, she was bombarded by photogs and (accidentally?) ran over another unsuspecting pap's foot. With her driving record as public as it is, you'd think they'd be a little more cautious of their extremities around Brit's car.

It keeps looking worse for Kanye's Momma's doctor

As if it isn't hard enough for a young man to lose his mother so unexpectedly and at such a young age (Donda West was 58), now Kanye West has to cope with the fact that this tragedy could have been prevented had some research been conducted on Dr. Jan Adams' shady past. He was convicted in and lost two malpractice suits, and last April was asked to revoke his medical license due to multiple pending DUI cases. Adams continues to say that he had nothing to do with the unforeseen tragedy, and that it probably was due to "a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting."

Even Barbara Walters hates Heather Mills

If Heather Mills thought she would garner any sympathy from her recent tearful and much-publicized rants, she was sorely mistaken. Barbara Walters, who loves EVERYONE, said today on The View that Heather was difficult to work with and "not a very nice woman," adding that she once refused a glass of water that she requested because it was not at room temperature. If she was suicidal before she can't be feeling very good now.

Sheryl Crow must be laughing her ass off

OK, I have two questions. First- When did Ashley Olson get boobs? Second- Ashley Olson and Lance Armstrong?! It's not even the age difference so much that creeps me out about this little May/December romance...more just the fact that he is Lance Armstrong and she is Ashley Olson. WTF??

Dog's own son rats him out

It's been revealed that the recording of Dog the Bounty Hunter's not-so-flattering phone conversation was leaked to the press by his own son. Ironic, because in the tape Dog says he wouldn't want it leaked to the Enquirer that he calls African-Americans racial slurs...and his son goes and sells the tape to the Enquirer. Sounds like some serious father-son hostility going on here.

SJP voted "unsexiest" in Hollywood by Maxim

Can you believe this? Not only did the pigs at Maxim have the nerve to even create a list titled "Unsexiest women in Hollywood", but they had the audacity to name my hero, Sarah Jessica Parker, their number one victim. Shame on them for singling out a fabulous woman who may not fit the cookie-cutter image of beauty as "unsexy".

Britney Spears blames missed custody hearing on bad cell phone reception

This little one is full of excuses. Brit, seen here earlier this week looking a little bit over-dressed to be ordering fast food, has said that the reason she recently missed an important custody hearing regarding her two young boys was that she had bad cell phone reception and didn't receive the message clearly. What do you think?

Jaime Pressly's bringing Botox back

Don't get me wrong... Jaime Pressly has always been a beautiful woman and always will be, but is she looking a little...plastic? I'm just saying.

I swear to God I will throw those boots away for her

Britney, don't you think it's time to retire those nasty, worn out, pathetic excuses for footwear? I almost prefer the pirate garb you were sporting earlier this week compared to those. Put the dog down and step away from the boots, Britney.

Sure J.Lo's not pregnant...and the Pope isn't Catholic

Even though she's been denying the rumors for years now, Jenny's fashion choices as of late as well as her restraining from dancing at a concert last week makes it seem to me like she may just have a gaunt, greasy little Marc Anthony bun in the oven. If not... I would suggest laying off the carbs, woman.

Britney's actions coming back to haunt her

Britney Spears is sad. And who could blame her? She has just been charged on two counts of hit-and-run and, get this, driving without a valid California driver's license. How do you live in California for, like, seven years and get pulled over a dozen times and still not have a driver's license? On top of that, she is undergoing bi-weekly drug tests (thank God) and attending parenting classes with ex-hubby Kevin Federline. Who cares about the parents...save the children!

Mark your calendars!

For the first time in history, the date I have circled on my calendar on the month of May will NOT be my birthday, but the premiere of the new Sex and the City movie! Word is the flick is opening May 30, 2008, so y'all know where I'll be that day.

Zanessa back in action

Ugh. The nastiest teen couple in Hollywood made a midnight McDonald's run Sunday, obviously attracting a lot of attention. You know you've made an impact when the paparrazi get out of bed to run and snap a pic of you in the drive-thru...yawn. Anyway, Vanessa was flaunting her "friendship" ring from Zac, who is definitely, definitely straight. No really, he is.

Vanessa Hudgens is a High School Musical whore!!!

I'm sure you've all heard this already...as you can see I haven't been very active on the computer this week (mine wigged out on me so I've been sneaking home to use my dad's). This is one of my favorite celeb stories in the past couple of weeks...turns out little Gabriella isn't quite as innocent as Disney execs made her out to be (this pic is tame compared to some that got leaked). First of all, how could she EVER think this was a good idea? And second, who the hell took this picture and went along with the notion that it was a good idea? Her pal Miley Cyrus was quoted by E! saying that she felt bad For Ness, and that everyone makes mistakes. I'm sorry...oops, I totalled my car--that's a mistake. But oops, my clothes fell off and I bit my lip and posed in front of a camera accidentally? Mistake isn't quite the right word.

Mary-Kate explains herself...sort of

Have you ever had one of those days when you just wake up and think to yourself, "I want to have white trash hair today"? No? Me neither. But apparently Mary-Kate does quite frequently...at least she said she does in this month's issue of Bazaar. What other gems did she share with us, you ask? She loves walking around naked in her house wearing nothing but heels and that signature chunky jewelry. Something tells me I could have lived without that little tidbit of information.

And the award for the worst VMA performance in history goes to...

Seriously. I had just gotten out of the shower on Sunday night and was beginning to wind down for the night...when I was confronted with the most disturbing and unnerving display of suckiness that I have ever witnessed. Britney's "performance" was not only skanky, but boring, lifeless and pretty much looked like what the slutty girl in high school would do in the talent show (you know the one I mean). And (here comes the bitch in me), is it just me or is Britney's "physique" not exactly in the shape it used to be? It's fine, girl--you had two kids. But please, dress accordingly.

She doesn't waste any time

Hayden Panettiere is no longer jail bait, and she wants the whole world to know about it. A mere week after turning the big 1-8, pictures of a scantily clad Hayden on the cover of FHM are surfacing on the internet, much to the delight of geeky teen-aged boys and creepy middle-aged men everywhere. Go ahead boys, fantasize without feeling guilty. It's still a little creepy to me.

At this point, anything is an improvement

So, apparently Cameron Diaz realized that she was way too A-list for lame-o "mindfreak" Criss Angel, because now he seems to be smitten with Britney Spears (weird couple alert)! But anyway, I posted this pic to say something nice, so here it goes. Is it just me, or does Britney actually appear to be a bit like her former self in this picture? Big, pretty eyes, a decent wig, subtle make-up...take away the wannabe magician and she's golden.

Zac Efron makes me miss high school

Ok, so maybe that's a bit of an overstatement... NOTHING could really make me want to go back to that hell hole. But in the magical land of High School Musical where the jocks and science geeks are all hot and all hang out together, and and instead of sweat the basketballers ooze sugar water... well, you get my point. And so did everyone else in America. Friday night's premiere of High School Musical 2 brought in a record-breaking 17.2 million viewers, making it the most watched basic cable program in the history of television. That's quite the achievement. And luckily for me, that probably means another five installments are already in the works...and I can swoon over Zac's baby blues until I'm blue in the face.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a sexy cripple

I'm used to W magazine having photo shoots that are a little... well... avante garde, but this month's featuring Gwyneth Paltrow takes the cake! They not only decided to incorporate Gwyn's real-life knee injury into the sexy pics (and her love of bottle feeding rodents?), but check out those brows! Very retro. Looking good, momma!

Hey all...be sure to check out my article on Mel B's nuptials today on the dSpot at http://www.dotspotter.com/!

--Cassie

From one hot spicy girl to the next...

Check out those abs! Ginger Spice, aka Miss Geri Halliwell, is looking hotter than ever these days! These sexy photos taken recently of her in her teeny bikini show that this new mommy can bounce back quicker from child birth than Heidi Klum even could. Her new name should be "Sexy Spice" or "MILF Spice"!

Eddie Murphy tells the entire world what we already knew

What is it with celebrities thinking that we "normal" people are all a bunch of idiots? First, Star Jones comes out and confirms to the world that she did, in fact, have gastric bypass surgery...about a million and a half hours after we all stopped talking about it. Like Star could have dropped 3,000 pounds through diet and exercise. Now, Mel B's baby daddy Eddie Murphy is finally admitting that he is her 4-month-old daughter Angel's biological father. Eddie-- Melanie had a DNA test done in June- that YOU agreed to- which proved that you were the baby's father. Maybe he should read the tabloids more often.

Wait...she meant actual lollipops?

Apparently, when Britney tells her 2-year-old booboo Sean P. to go get "Mommy's lollipops", she means actual lollipops sometimes and not just those cancer sticks. You have to hand it to the girl...she lost her marriage, career and is about to lose her children, but she can still enjoy a night out on the town in a black one-piece jumper monstrosity along with her cousin and "singer", Alli. Get out of lala land, bitch!

If only I could be so easily amused

I'm not sure what is more funny about this pic of George Clooney helping design a new Omega watch- that silly look on his face or the fact that he feels the need to wear a lab coat while poking around at watch parts. Whatever...it's natural that George be so into them, seeing as how he is an ambassador for the company (watch companies need ambassadors? I thought only countries did...I'm lost) and has a line of their watches named after him. Just don't go full-out geek on us, k George?

Kate Beckinsale's daughter has good taste in literature

At least the kid isn't too spoiled and sheltered to appreciate the value of a great book. Lily and her mom (Kate) were spotted with Harry Potter in hand in Santa Monica this weekend. Did I mention I saw Kate in New York at a movie premiere? Freakishly beautiful... I'm still wondering if it was actually a wax figure.

I bet these aren't airbrushed at all

Isn't Jane magazine going to be dead after this issue? That's what I heard...but somehow they got tons of sexy (and not so sexy?) female celebs, Like Eva here, to pose in the buff for "charity". You're making us all hate our bodies for the children? Sorry, that's a cause I don't want to invest in.

The best worst-dressed celebrity ever

Is it just me, or can Sienna Miller just roll out of bed, grab three or four random items of clothing from her closet while blindfolded and end up looking completely amazing? Seriously, she can pair a $3,000 couture dress with some strappy ten dollar sandals from a thrift store and make it look totally cool. I do with what I can at Forever 21. So not fair!

Just because I can...

Aaaawww! Isn't Violet Affleck the cutest little punkin you've ever seen? Jen and her mini-me were spotted out last week looking oh so adorable- mommy included! Something tells me that Violet is one celebrity spawn I wouldn't have a problem with riding on her momma's coattails!

Reason no. 527 why I love Sarah Jessica Parker

SJP is looking forty-something and fabulous in the August edition of Elle magazine, which thank God, I have a subscription to! You know I'll be taking my scissors to this baby and plastering more pics of the goddess that is Parker all over my wall... and did I mention how freaking excited I am for the Sex and the City movie?! AAAAHHH!!!!!!

I'm gonna pretend they are still BFFs

Apparently not all is well in Spice World (*tear). Word on the street is that the girls will be bringing along a sixth spice on their world tour-- their therapist. The shrink will be on hand just in case any of the spicy ones' egos get a little too large for their private jet. What ever happened to girl power? Can't they handle their differences themselves? You are making me sad, my spicy bitches.

Britney Spears smiles without sneering

Ok, so I know I've been hard on the Britster lately (who hasn't), but I have to see it's great to say her smiling in these photos taken with her sons over the weekend. JJ looks so adorable, and look how big Sean P. is getting! It's sometimes easy to forget that Miss Brit was once considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, but seeing her smile like this reminds me why. Keep smiling, Britney!

Someone get this idiot an editor

Britney has made yet another brilliant decision, this time trying to explain to us what went down the night she went psycho with an umbrella all over the paparazzos' car. She wasn't in a drunken rage, she was just preparing for a new "roll" in a movie. Unfortunately we will never see proof of this as she didn't get the part. Yeah right.

Harry Potter and the Order of the DayGlow Pink Lipstick

Ah, those British sure are entertaining dressers. Not only was Helena Bonham Carter sporting her best homeless chic look at the premiere of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix in London earlier this week, but she and little miss Emma "do you know who I am?" Watson seem to have swapped the same tube of 1985 cheap pastel lipstick just before the photogs started snapping their pictures on the red carpet. Wonder where I can get my own tube?

Britney holds/is a bitch

Apparently Britney is so pleased with her outstanding parenting skills that she considered having another baby this weekend- this teeny tiny little chihuahua she test drove but did not leave with. As for her own mom, Brit Brit had this to say: "I am praying for her right now, and I hope she gets the help she needs." Well that's cute, Britney. Make her sound like the basketcase. I think they should both go to therapy together.

William and Harry pay tribute to their mom

On what would have been her 46th birthday, acts such as Joss Stone and Take That (who knew they were even around anymore?!) came together today to pay tribute to Princess Diana at the new Wembley Statium in England. Of course, William and Harry were in attendance looking handsome, put together, friendly and refined. All I have to say is could those boys have grown up to be any more awesome?! They are so classy and good-looking. Diana is probably so proud of them!

What the f**k happened to Hilary Duff?

Hil scares me these days. I know she's trying to escape the fact that we all view her as a sweet, blonde 13-year-old Lizzie MaGuire (which I wish she still was), but she looks like a 29-year-old hooker who has had too much botox. She's only 19! And don't even get me started on those horse teeth. She recently said that she gets taken more seriously as a brunette...I think we are all just more cautious around her so she doesn't do anything else rash, like implants, maybe? Hilary, you look more and more like your big sis every day. And that's NOT a good thing.

Be still, my beating heart!

My life is officially complete. The Spice Girls are definitely getting back together for a reunion tour! Things are sure different this time around, almost all of them are mommas and they are a little bit older. Judging by this pic of them taken recently when they announced their reunion, age has only made them look better!

The shorter her life, the better

As if it weren't bad enough to be created by two of the most beautiful people in Hollywood and come out looking like, um, that, Rumer Willis has to go and make things worse for herself by smoking like a chimney this week in New York. Rumer, you don't have much to work with to begin with, can't you at least keep your skin and teeth nice? Just a suggestion.

Hey all! Be sure and log onto www.dotspotter.com today and check out my featured article on Britney Spears in the dSpot! Kisses.

Kate Bosworth gives us directions to her pretty face

Ok, so the apparel isn't the coolest, but I think it's great to see Kate out and about, and looking very healthy and happy I might add. Orlando must have been toxic to her to keep her looking so frail when they were together. Whatever she's doing she should keep it up because she is the most naturally georgous woman in Hollywood.

Somebody tell Kelly Clarkson to stop eating

"Oh my goodness, Kelly. Stress from all that drama with your record label and failed album got you down? It's ok to be upset, but becoming a total fat ass won't make things any better. And if you insist on keeping all that extra weight on, please, dress accordingly." Would someone please say this to her?!

Why... oh why???

Oops, she did it again (sorry, I couldn't help myself). Brit Brit has gone wannabe goth again, which is almost as bad as her recent bleach blond rats' nest. Kind of sad, seeing as how when she buzzed it all off it would have been a great opportunity for her to start over with her own healthy hair. Unfortunately for her, healthy and Britney don't even belong in the same sentence anymore.

Ok y'all, I'm off to the Big Apple for a few days of shopping and Starbucks... I will be back soon with hopefully lots more celeb news!
