Karissa and Kristina Shannon Have Fun in the Sun!
Karissa and Kristina Shannon have a message for celebrity gossip followers: Don’t forget about us!
Due to Kendra Wilkinson’s recent engagement to Hank Baskett, and the subsequent announcement of Holly Madison as a member of her bridal party, these twins have likely been afraid that their 15 minutes in the Playboy spotlight were over.
But Hugh Hefner’s new girlfriends won’t go down without a fight (just with a shot of tequila). They’ve posted a few new photos of themselves, basking in the Miami sun…
In truly exciting news, we’ve even uncovered a photo of each sister by herself. In familiar positions, say hello to Kristina (top) and Karissa (bottom)…
Ashley Dupre is Totally That Girl
With her first TV interview set for Friday, Ashley Alexandra Dupre also sat down with People, telling the celebrity news magazine that she’s “a normal girl.”
“Everyone just knows me as ‘that girl,’ but I’m not just ‘that girl,’” the 23-year-old former hooker of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and many others says in the new issue of the magazine. “I have a lot of depth, a lot of layers.”
Enduring the scrutiny that included seeing her photos splashed on front pages “has been really hard,” the New Jersey native explains. “But I’m a survivor.”
Her descent into tabloid mayhem began the night of February 13, 2008, when Ashley Dupre - who worked as a high-end escort to help pay the bills on and off since 2004 - met a client who turned out to be the Governor of New York State.
She claims she had no idea who the man was that night. What she does recall is that “Client 9,” as Spitzer was reportedly known at her escort service, was polite.
“Some guys want to have conversations, to get to know each other. With him, it clearly was not like that. It was more a transaction. Strictly business,” says Ashley Dupre.
Casually dressed and with no entourage, Spitzer didn’t strike her as someone important. Besides, “I was there for a purpose – not to wonder who [he] could be.”
She didn’t find out who he was until March, just days after learning she was mixed up in some sort of FBI investigation, when saw Spitzer apologizing on TV.
“It was surreal,” Ashley Dupre said. “I felt like I was sinking.”
As for the former governor, “I think he’s been punished enough.”
Asked what she might tell his wife, Silda, who stood at Spitzer’s side when he announced his resignation, Ashley Dupre offers simply, “I’m sorry for your pain.”
The former hooker also opens up about her troubled past – running away from home (and into Girls Gone Wild videos) at age 17 – and how a seemingly normal girl from the suburbs could ever fathom becoming a prostitute:
“This wasn’t any different than going on a date with someone you barely knew and hooking up with them,” she reasoned. “The only difference is I can pay my rent.”
Once the FBI told her they were looking into one of her clients, Dupré says she was forced to confide in her mother, Carolyn, that she was turning tricks.
“It was extremely painful for her,” Ashley Dupre says, although at the end of the day, “my mother wasn’t angry. She was supportive.”
Now living with her mom and stepfather back home in New Jersey, Dupre says she has learned her lesson, and then some. Now she wants to move on.
“I’m 23 years old,” Ashley says. “I want to do music, to do some fashion, to write books – there’s so many things.” One thing she won’t be doing, though, is selling her body to make ends meet. “No,” she says. “Never again.”
Miley Cyrus Gets Grilled on Gaston
Sorry, Miley Cyrus.
Until you publicly acknowledge your relationship with Justin Gaston, you’ll continue to receive questions about it during appearances. The latest came during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres.
Sadly, the grilling merely led to a feeble quote from Cyrus regarding her older boyfriend, in which she listed his occupation, physical appeal and religion:
“He’s a singer, he’s really cute and he’s nice. He’s a Christian and I really like that.”
Thanks, Miley. Based on that description, you could date any of The Jonas Brothers…
Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson: Not Having (Calum) Best of Time
Awful pun alert: For Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson last night, it wasn’t the Calum Best of times.
According to Great Britain’s The Sun, the most famous pair of partying lesbians on the planet got into a fight because Lohan was dancing with her ex-boyfriend.
A source said Lindsay “had tears in her eyes as she left” London club Boujis on her own.
Lohan and Best - who once described the Firecrotch Queen as being “dynamite” in bed - dated for several weeks last year. Soon after, Lindsay entered rehab and started having sex with women.
Tough break, Calum.
Steven Burky Told to Quit Stalking Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner has obtained a court order protecting herself from Steven Burky, who she believes is endangering her. He may no longer have any contact with her.
In her declaration, the actress says that “Mr. Burky has been stalking and harassing me,” as well as sending various “packages and letters containing delusional and paranoid thoughts and following me around the country …”
Garner says he has been bugging her since 2002 and “his obsessive and harassing behavior has escalated to the point of becoming dangerous and threatening.”
Steven Burky has even shown up at her home and said that “God has sent him a vision of her being persecuted in some manner that may result in her death.”
Garner’s bodyguard, Dennis Bridwell, also submitted a declaration to the court in which he said Burky “now represents a clear threat to Jennifer Garner’s life.”
The LAPD has been notified and is taking the threat seriously, remaining involved in the case. Law enforcement sources are also reporting that Steven Burky is currently under a 5150 psychiatric hold, a.k.a. the Britney Spears.
Dude also writes a blog entitled “Satanic Panic.” Yeah. Sounds like he’s got a few screws loose and may want to check into the nearest institution if you ask us, unless of course he’s reading this, in which case we’re totally kidding. Stalk on, playa.
Suri Cruise: The Cutest of All Celebrity Babies
Suri Cruise is cooler than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s kids, and not just because we don’t have to hear about her being breast-fed every frickin’ day.
The TomKat spawn topped the list of Forbes‘ “Hollywood’s 10 Hottest Tots.”
The li’l tyke, 2, won the annual honor, which is based on the amount of media attention celebrity babies garner, as well as their parents’ popularity.
Suri Cruise appeared in more news articles and blogs than any of the Jolie-Pitt children, though Shiloh, Zahara and Pax were ranked 2-4, respectively.
Suri Cruise rules the world of celebrity babies, and you can see why.
Rounding out the (adorable) top 10 were Sam Alexis Woods, Cruz Beckham, Matilda Rose Ledger, David Banda, Sean Preston Federline, and Sam Sheen.
Here’s some pics of celebrity babies 2-10, just so they don’t feel like they got totally bitch-slapped by Suri, which they pretty much did. Click to enlarge!
Snow Patrol in accoustics, video.
I figure every now and again, its not a bad idea to put some good tunes on here. Snow Patrol just released the accoustic version of Chasing Cars on Youtube this morning. They sound pretty good. To be honest, they remind me of Coldplay. Maybe Gwyneth Paltrow would go see them in concert this weekend?
That [...]
Angelina Jolie opens up about her breast…
….feeding that is. Hey, don’t kill the messenger….
Apparently she has trouble simultaneously breast feeding her twins, Knox and Viv. However, Brad seems to have the hang of using her breast. Sorry, I had to pull the trigger on that one. Anyways, Jolie did an interview with GMTV in Britain, I guess this time there were [...]
Gwyneth Paltrow might be playing the field.
The first big indicator that she is getting a divorce from Coldplay lead singer, Chris Martin, is that she ditched out on his concert. The second is that she instead is hanging out with Jeff Soffer for the occasion of the opening of his hotel, the Fountainebleu in Miami. The third and most apparent, she’s [...]
