Posted on 24. Jun, 2009 by CSS.
E! has declared a moratorium on all news items relating to MTV reality stars Heidi and Spencer.
Dish on the newlyweds has been especially plentiful in recent weeks, thanks to their hijinks on the NBC summer reality series I’m A Celebrity…, as well as an interview gone wrong with The TODAY Show’s Al Roker.
E! says its done with The Hills resident villains. A whooping 94% of E! fans replied “yes” when asked if they had had enough of Heidi and Spencer Pratt.
E! is now declaring itself a Speidi-Free news source. The change was announced on E! News as well as the network’s website on Monday. Beginning June 22nd, E! will no longer offer updates on The Pratts.

Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness are reportedly in the process of adopting a third child.

Jenny McCarthy is on course to join celebrity chef Rachael Ray and small screen shrink Dr. Phil as the next star in Oprah Winfrey’s media empire.
Jenny has inked a multi-year deal with Winfrey’s Harpo Productions to develop projects on different platforms, including a syndicated talk show that the actress/author would host, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Jenny, a former Playboy Playmate, burst into the pop culture scene in 1997 as the host of MTV’s dating show Singled Out. In recent years, she has become an outspoken proponent against childhood vaccinations. Jenny has regularly chatted with the Queen of Talk about her struggles with her son’s autism — in fact, Jenny has published several best-selling books on the subject, including Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism and Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds.
I would tune into to anything Jenny put on TV- I think she is fabulous! Can’t wait to hear more about this!

Hilary Duff Shells Out Fabulous Tips!
Posted on 15. Mar, 2009 by CSS.
Lizzie McGuire’s a real big spender.
Actress Hilary Duff, who famously feuded with her Bonnie And Clyde predecessor Faye Dunaway earlier this year, is earning a reputation as one of Tinseltown’s biggest tippers.
Hils never tips fives, tens, or even twenties–oh no–nothing but hundreds will do for the 21-year-old daughter of a former makeup artist, who was often on the receiving end of lousy tips.
Star Magazine spies dish:
After getting her hair dyed and styled at the Byron and Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills, the singer left an extra $200 on top of a $250 bil.
“She slips hundreds to everyone, from valets and restroom attendants to Starbucks cashiers,” says a pal.
Way to go Hilary! I always like to hear about generosity from stars!
