Hello Gossip Fiends, thanks for joining me for the Tuesday Gossip Roundup, where I catch you up on the week’s gossip in review. I’m Erika, your weekly gossip girl. Let’s get gossiping, shall we?
Rumors have been flying lately that the overly-fertile pair of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have hit Splitsville at 80 mph. Not true, poo-poos Angie’s rep. Well, one thing we can confirm is that their 70 million dollar French Chateau is a “war zone” and, according to one source “pretty disgusting.” Seriously? All the money between the two of them and they can’t hire a full time maid?
Jessica Stroup and Shenae Grimes of the CW’s “90210″ have recently been slammed by tabloids and other unimportant press sources for being “too thin” for TV. Apparently there is such a thing. Who knew? (Ok, and for all the emails I’m going to get for that statement, let me just assure you I’m joking. There is certainly an “ew” point.”)
Paris Hilton recently felt it appropriate to “complain” about, like, how hard her life is. The heiress whined to Reuters, “I am literally running a huge corporation. I have my clothing lines, my champagne, my watches, shoes and purses and dog clothes — every sort of product you can imagine. I am doing movies. I am doing my record right now, producing, starring in a TV show. So it is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week job.” All I have to say is — wha? The girl has her own line of Champagne?
Jamie Foxx agrees, second hand smoke can kill. The Oscar winning star was apparently spotted in a Las Vegas hot spot last weekend coughing and being irritated that others would dare to smoke around him IN A BAR. Jeez. Apparently his bodyguard/sidekick/wannabe told the smoker “Yo, man. Jamie is allergic to smoke. Put that out.” Hrm. Do you think that would work for me? Maybe I could have my husband go up to people in the bar at Chili’s and try the same thing. I mean, c’mon, I’m really popular in Europe.
Blahdeity blahedeity blah, I know that Eva Longoria is claiming that she gained weight for her character and has been saying most recently on French TV that she’s “just fat”, I don’t think I’m buying it. Check out this picture of Eva and husband Tony Parker at the Emmy’s. Nice dress Eva. Too bad it hides everything that everyone wants to see. Way to fuel the speculation. Just come out and ADMIT it already. kthxbai.
A disgusting Wal Mart employee is currently under investigation for printing off a few extra pictures of Jamie Lynn Spears breastfeeding daughter Maddie. Apparently, this employee decided it would be prudent to try and make money off of the 17 year old mama by selling the photo. All I can say is, what has the world come to? This is never ok. Rant over.
David Blaine’s newest stunt is to hang upside down over the Wollman Rink in NYC’s Central Park for 60 hours. Medical professionals say that this “trick” could actually leave him blind. He was joined by Kelly Ripa today for an inverview for Live with Regis and Kelly. Honestly, I need to know why this is a “trick”? Isn’t it just plain dumb? What is the outcome that we are supposed to be amazed at? That’s he’s not dead/blind?
In some sad news that you have probably heard by now, DJ AM (real name: Adam Goldstein) and Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker were involved in a plane crash on Friday in Columbia, South Carolina after giving a free concert to 10,000 university students there. Miraculously, DJ AM and Travis Barker escaped the crash, and though they are in critical condition at a burn unit, they are expected to fully recover. Sadly, the other 4 people on the plane died in the crash, including the two pilots and the assistants to these men. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of everyone involved.
I hope you enjoyed this week’s roundup. See you next time…

I completely agree with you on the David Blaine stunt.
That Jamie Lynn thing is just beyond unacceptable. It just goes to show you how bad and obsessive our celebrity culture has become. That person probably thought they were just doing what every upskirt paparazzi does. But when there’s a baby involved it’s different.
lmao trisha haha- you must have been really studying the pic, cause i didnt notice until u said it lol
you know, if you look at that picture of david blane upside down, it looks like his balls are near his belly button. Just saying.
Great post! You just saved me 5 bucks in trashy mags!
Can’t wait to read what you have next week.
I love this section and wait for it every week! You go girl!
Thanks everyone! Glad you like it — it’s a lot of fun to write, too!
I was so sad when i heard brad and angelina were breaking up- thankfully thats a rumor since their just had new additions to their family.
Back in elementary i could hang on the monkey bars upside down the whole 30 minutes of recess, just b/c he did it for 60 hours doesnt make him cooler than i was/am lol
Wow! I’m not convinced that Eva is just fat either. Her face is swollen, arms are still thin and (you’re sooo right,) the dress is the biggest sign of all!! PREGNANT
Every week you crack me up. Somewhere between Kaitnxbai and David Blaines awesome “stunt”, i burst out laughing. Love it. Your better then perez.
