Actress Lindsay Lohan recently ended a very rocky relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson. There’s been so much tabloid press over the breakup it’s sickening, with rumors swirling that Ronson was cheating, that she recently got her locks changed, and that Linds is desperate, suicidal, on drugs, etc. Say what you want about Lohan, she is a decent actress with solid comic timing. Post-breakup, she starred in a “Funny or Die” video that spoofs an eHarmony personal ad. Lohan pokes fun at herself and the tabloid mania that surrounds her every move. The newly single actress says she’s ”looking for someone I can spend the rest of my life with… or at least the rest of my probation with.” See the vid here.

Kim Kardashian recently attended the opening of some hot new party hole in a warm state most of us don’t live in. At the event, Kim revealed that one of her family members plans to go under the knife. Says Kim, “Someone in the Kardashian family will soon have plastic surgery. I can’t tell you who, but someone in my family will look totally different and viewers will see it all on the show very soon.” It seems too obvious that it would be Bruce, who from the looks of it is no stranger to plastic surgery. Perhaps one of the girls? What do you think, is Kim yanking our chain or will one of the Kards soon sport a brand new face?

Apparently Canadian politeness does have its limits. Just a few days ago, actor Billy Bob Thornton and his band the Boxmasters were touring the country with legend Willie Nelson. The band has since pulled out of the tour, after audiences reacted negatively following Thornton’s testy interview on a Canadian radio show.

Thornton refused to answer host Jian Ghomeshi’s questions because he had the nerve to mention his Oscar-winning acting and screenwriting career. (Hey Billy, at least he didn’t bring up your history as a creepy asshole.) BBT wouldn’t answer simple questions and ended the interview by refusing to play with his band, who performed an instrumental without him. It seems BBT doesn’t want to be seen as your typical actor-turned-musician, but as a spoiled diva.

The next day the band played Toronto and was received with a collective ”Boo! Hiss!” from the crowd. BBT forgot that a country sometimes listens to its radio shows and reads entertainment news. Soon after, a message appeared on Willie Nelson’s official website, announcing that the Boxmasters were pulling out of the Canadian tour. 

See the astonishingly ass-y interview here.

This pair goes down as one of the weirdest celebrity couples to date. Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan recently attended Bravo’s second annual “A-list Awards” with a special lady in tow. I picture Mr. Corgan going for an arty girl, one who doesn’t wear much makeup and has her hair dyed a strange color. She probably has a quirky haircut too and wears slightly unflattering, avant garde clothes, kind of a low-key, hipster Tilda Swinton. But apparently I give the Corg more credit than he deserves, because his date du jour was the trashtastic Tila Tequila. Ok, maybe if you were on the rebound from a relationship with the girl described above, you’d go for a splash of Tequila–but just a splash.

The pair looked exceedingly chummy while posing on the red carpet, and it seems their evening together may have continued behind closed (car) doors. Really, Billy? Really?

The always loopy Brittany Murphy appeared on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson last week to promote a new movie premiering on Lifetime. The interview was pretty dull but one aspect stood out. Murphy, who hails from Jersey, spoke in a British accent. My thought was that she’s practicing for a role, but then I don’t think a whole lotta roles are coming her way.

Ferguson inquires about the actress’ drinking habits–oh, just out of curiousity, I suppose–and Murphy tells him she refrains from the sauce, claiming she likes to “stay grounded.” (I see she’s following the Paula Abdul method of blanket denial.)  ”This is grounded?” Ferguson jokes. Her behavior might not be substance-related; could be nerves or malnourishment, or both. Take a gander at the darling oddity below!

Amy Winehouse was spotted sans beehive today, out and about with a friend in her neighborhood in Barnet, London, where she reportedly moved for a quieter lifestyle. It’s almost normal behavior: stepping out in the daylight for a casual stroll with a pal, but the singer had to pull some bizarre poses to liven things up. Winehouse was no doubt surrounded on all sides by paparazzi, and it seems those flashing cameras bring out the animal in her. In several shots she’s shown grabbing her crotch in a gesture that says either, “Suck it, paps” or “I’ve gotta wee real real bad!”

Like most actresses, Scarlett Johansson’s hair color changes every month. She’s gone from bottle blond to chestnut brown and back again, but her latest incarnation as a redhead still feels fresh and sexy. She recently attended an event for Moet & Chandon, where it was announced that she would be the new spokesperson for the champagne. As the face of fine bubbly, ScarJo had to remove her nose piercing and break out the old
Hollywood glamour. She was overheard saying that her new look was for her role in Ironman 2 but I say keep it because red hair really suits her! See some of the colorful star’s more offbeat looks below.

Kim Kardashian is featured on the cover of the April/May issue of Complex magazine. Unluckily for her, it seems that a pre-photoshop pic of the star accidentally landed on the magazine’s web site. Sharp-eyed writer Bucky Turco of Animal NY spotted the less-than-perfect image of Kardashian on Complex’s exclusive web gallery.  The site promptly yanked it, but not fast enough, as a number of gossip sites got hold of it first. You can see before and after above. Photoshopped Kim is smoothed, slimmed and lightened into the sex goddess extraordinaire we expect. The real Kim, however, is a woman.  A woman with thighs. Enough said!

Anyone who’s had an awkward exchange can appreciate this post. Actor Jake Gyllenhaal and recent Amazing Race contestant Mike White had lunch together today. The paps caught them post-meal and documented each second of their long, awkward farewell. Let’s break it down:

First, Mike initiates a fist bump:

which Jake mistakes for a handshake. No matter, he easily goes from paper to rock (so suave) but now Mike’s not so sure.

 By the time their hands collide, each has gone over to the other side. Oh the sweet folly of life!

The exchange ends with Mike grasping onto Jake’s fist in a gesture that says, “This unlikely friendship will last…” 

 ”…because I will not let go of your hand…”

“…even as you strain to pull away.” I bet they’re glad the photogs caught every detail of what looks to be the early stages of a friendship. But seriously guys, plan ahead next time, will you? Decide on a form of goodbye beforehand, it saves a lot of trouble.

In January, Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie married actor beau Josh Duhamel in what People magazine described as a “white fantasy wedding.” The pair had been engaged for a year prior to their wedding, and dated for three years before that. So Fergie the newly wed should be in a good place at the moment, right? Then why is she channeling Morticia Adams?

The star just debuted a flat ironed brunette look that is more sophisticated but also on the somber side. She looks more like a recent divorcee announcing her independence than someone who just returned from a tropical honeymoon. Why so serious, Fergalicious?
