Adam Brody stars as Seth Cohen in the The O.C. on FOX.By Honey Gillard

ADAM Brody has declared that he will NEVER ask a girl out on a date around his father again. This decision comes after never forgetting the time his dad embarrassed him at an audition.

The former ‘O.C’ glory insists and maintains his decision saying that he won’t be making the mistake of expanding his romantic horizons near his father in his future days.

Brody, 26, recalls the too memorable event: “Five years ago, my dad was in town and I had an audition. I was reading with this cute girl. We were leaving and I said, ‘I want to ask her number, so could you get the car and I’ll meet you?’ She came out and started talking, and my dad pulls up, honks the horn and gives me the thumbs-up. I don’t think she called me back.”

rody was also quoted about starring opposite talented ‘You’ve Got Mail’ actress Meg Ryan: “(I was like) ‘Oh man, I hope she’s not incredibly bummed that I’m not Russell Crowe or Tom Hanks.’” Haha.. Cute.

Simon Cowell Sick From African Poverty

By Honey Gillard

AMERICAN idol’s open and outspoken judge Simon Cowell has reportedly been left speechless whilst visiting Nairobi, Kenya earlier this year, in January, as he just couldn’t believe the devastating extent of the poverty in the region and those neighbouring it.

Cowell was in the African nation along with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest throughout the filming of the charity special of Idol titled ‘Idol Gives Back’ when the desperate circumstances forced him into a temporary state of reflection.

Seacrest was quoted on the experience stating: “The first day, we rode to a slum, and it was worse than anything I had imagined – the ground is moist with sewage, people are so sick.”He adds: “At one point, Simon just had this look on his face like he was going to be sick, and he said, ‘I’ve just got to sit down somewhere. I just can’t see anymore right now.’”

Lindsay Lohan Acknowledges That She Was “A Bit Irresponsible” on the set of ‘Georgia Rule’.

By Honey Gillard

Miss Lindsay Lohan has come forward admitting that she may have been “a bit irresponsible’ on the set of her new comedy ‘Georgia Rule’, whilst filming last year. The film’s producer and her co-stars publicly reprimanded Lindsay for her rash behavior on the film set.

Last July, James G. Robinson, CEO of Morgan Creek Productions, wrote a strongly worded letter to Lindsay after she called a series of sick days, as well as late arrivals on the set. Robinson threatened legal action against the young socialite if she continued to disrupt the picture.

The letter entitled the actress as “discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional” and continued on about how her actions were those of a spoiled child which had caused her co-workers to feel alienated and “has endangered the quality of this picture.”

During an interview with magazine ‘Allure’, Lohan admitted that she wasn’t on her best behavior during the production – but she was at that time experiencing relationship problems with her now-ex-boyfriend Harry Morto. The pair ended their brief three-month relationship last September.

She says, “It upset me because I was… a bit irresponsible. I didn’t think about the consequences, but I was also going through something in my life.

Tobey Maguire To Bring Spider-Man Back – If The Script Is ‘Right’

Tobey Maguire returns in the third Spider-Man movieBy Honey Gillard

Spider-man’ star Tobey Maguire has claimed that he will play the web-slinging superhero a 4th time – just as long as the script is right.

Maguire has denied rumours of his Spiderman retirement, confirming that plans for ‘Spider-Man 4’ are already in the works.

He says, “They’ll definitely develop a fourth movie and write a screenplay, and I would consider it if there’s a good script, a good story that I felt was worth telling and Sam Raimi was involved and the right cast came together for it.”

The Hollywood actor has also revealed that he no longer regrets being able to fly anonymously in economy class after scoring his life-changing role in the ‘Spider-man’ films, but manages to travel in 1st class for an equal price.

Maguire, 31, says, “After ‘Spider-Man 1’, I bought a ticket to somewhere, which was a coach seat. I was used to buying coach tickets. I get on the plane, everybody’s looking at me and talking to me. I was starting to feel a little self-conscious about flying in coach. People were actually showing concern that I wasn’t being compensated well for Spider-Man. I was kind of embarrassed and uncomfortable. So my solution now is I buy a coach ticket and upgrade with (air) miles.”

Britney Spears Shaved Head For Cancer Victim Aunt

By Honey Gillard

So we all know about the controversial shaving of pop star Britney Spears head, but we are still left pondering why she done it – was it a publicity stunt? An attempt to tell the paparazzi to “back off”? She saw a picture of ‘G.I Jane’ Demi Moore and liked her look?

Well apparently none of those. Recent reports have a friend of the singer claiming that Spears shaved her head as a tribute to her aunt who had died from cancer, according to a friend of the star.

Spears stunned the world when she cut off all her hair in full view of paparazzi camera crews at a Los Angeles salon in February and left us all asking, “Huh?”

The stunt was followed by a stint in rehab – though a pal claims Spears was suffering post-partum depression and grief and shaved off her hair as an act of “solidarity”.

The friend tells PageSix.com, “Britney’s aunt had just died of cancer. She was feeling very guilty because she hadn’t been there with her, she was overwhelmingly depressed and she shaved her head in solidarity.”

Jack Black Evacuated Following Fire & Ant Infestation

By Honey GillardIt seems actor/singer Jack Black has moved on from the ‘School of Rock’ to the ‘School [or rather home] of fire and ant infestations’.

Black was forced to evacuate his California home, not once, but twice last week following a fire AND an infestation of ants.

The star, as well as his wife and his 1-month-old baby son, spent the following few days in a nearby hotel.

He says, “Last week there was a fire on my block, and there were gale force winds. So the fire department was evacuating everybody in my neighborhood.”

He continues, “And when we came back after they got it under control, the house was covered in ants… There was, like, thousands, it was a full-on infestation.”

“We moved out. If I was a tough guy, I would have stayed. I tried to mop them up a little bit but they were mad, they were biting. We have a little baby and they were infesting the nursery area. And that’s where I draw the line. We’re out. So we re-evacuated, and went to hotel where we had to wait over the weekend. The exterminator won’t come on the weekend.”

We’ve got a baby so we don’t want to spray the place with poison. So we try and find the hippy-dippy exterminator guy and he comes with the long hair and he’s gonna kill all the ants with love. And he takes one look at the thousands of ants and says, ‘I’m sorry, I’ve got to bust out the poisons.’ So he squirted down the poisons. And the key was to kill the queen ant in the ant hives beneath the house. If you kill the queen the colony will fall.”

Owen Wilson leaves Clinton dinner early – astounding brother Luke Wilson

By Honey Gillard

So you go to dinner with former President Bill Clinton and invite your brother and you stay for the whole meal; you don’t just walk right out? Right?

Well apparently not if you’re Owen Wilson.

‘VACANCY’ star Luke Wilson was left stunned whilst having dinner with Clinton, when his older brother ‘Wedding Crasher’s’ actor Owen Wilson – who had invited him to dine with the former president – got up and left halfway through the meal.

Luke states that he was even more bowled over when Clinton seemed sincerely upset not to have partied with ladies man Owen.

Luke says, “He’s [Owen] friends with a guy who’s friends with Clinton, and Owen said, ‘Do you want to go to this dinner with Clinton? There’ll just be 12 people or so.”

“So we go to the dinner and we’re sitting there and Clinton is holding court, telling these amazing stories. He was talking about going over to Jerusalem and trying to broker the Middle East peace talks.”

“And Owen leans over to me and says, ‘I’m gonna get going. I said, ‘Are you kidding, you’re going to leave the dinner? We’re halfway through, we’ve just eaten.’ And he’s like, ‘I’m just gonna try and slip out.’ I said, ‘I’m going to stay. I guess I’ll get a ride home.’

“So Owen gets up and discreetly tries to walk out the door and Clinton stops in the middle of what he’s saying. ‘Where are you going Owen, you old dog?’ And Owen got kinda uncomfortable and said, ‘Oh, I just have to go and meet somebody.’

“Clinton was like, ‘No, seriously. Where are you going? Are you going out on Sunset or what? I wanna go with you.’ And then Owen left and Clinton did seem down he hadn’t gone out with Owen.”

Hmm.. I wonder where Owen was going – perhaps to meet Miss. Hudson..

Jessica Alba Steps Up And Toasts Women

 

By Honey Gillard

‘Sin City’ actress Jessica Alba helped play host to this year’s Step Up Women’s Network toast on Thursday. The agreeable affair was held in Forbes Penthouse Suite located at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles, California.

One of 4 women who were honoured for their deep dedication to strengthening community resources and altruistic impact in the lives of women and girls was ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star Sara Rameriz.

The event, being seemingly popular with the female celebrity population, also catered to other Hollywood sensations including ‘Alias’ Australian actress Melissa George, model Devon Aoki and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ celebrity Kate Walsh.

It seems there must have been some generous air in the celebrity atmosphere on Thursday night; with the night playing host of not only the ‘Step Up Women’s Network toast’ but also The New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project Benefit Gala – a scientology run event for the rescue workers connected to the 9/11 attacks.

Aren’t celebrities quite the philanthropists these days? It seems everyone’s taking a page out of Oprah and Angelina’s book.

Ashlee Simpson Lends Her Face And Words To ‘Harper’s Bazaar’

ASHLEE Simpson is May girl for ‘Harper’s Bazaar’!

By Honey Gillard

The singer/actress, whose third album is set to hit stores out this fall, finally comes out and address the plastic surgery rumours and criticism that she’s copping Jessica’s style, as well as bestows advice for troubled stars like Britney Spears.

Below are excerpts from the ‘Bazaar’ interview provided by ‘US magazine’:

Enjoy!

On growing up:
“I’ve definitely learned a lot and grown up a lot in the past few years. I’m at peace on the inside. I’m at a really good place.”

On her Saturday Night Live fiasco:
“I’m definitely okay with my awkward moments. I’m one of those people who gets knocked down, and it won’t stop me. You kind of learn to be a fighter…But, truly, in my heart, I don’t feel like I have anything to prove to anyone.”

On living in the public eye:
“I don’t get bothered by people saying what they say. I’m a happy person, and I’m happy with my looks. Everybody always has an opinion. One minute they’ll love you; one minute they’ll hate you. When you go home to sleep at night, [the important thing] is to feel good about yourself. And I do.”

On changing her look and her rumoured plastic surgery:
“I loved how I looked. I’m not an insecure person, nor was I before. It’s a personal choice. I believe if somebody chooses to do plastic surgery, it [should be] for yourself, not for anyone else.”

On her style:
“You know, I was never a dress person, but now, if I’m going to an event, I like to put one on. I have to feel comfortable no matter what. I love Alexander McQueen, and, oh, gosh, I love them all – Fendi, Chanel.”

On how her style differs from Jessica’s:
“We like some of the same designers, but we wear clothes differently. Oh, God, how do I say this? Jessica likes to be very put together, and I like something to always be a little off, whether my shoes don’t match or something like that.”

On criticism she’s trying to look more like Jessica:
“Of course I look like her. She’s my sister. It’s like, God, please! We think it’s quite funny.”

On criticism that her father, Joe, is an inappropriate stage dad:
“People have the wrong perception of him, because he is a wonderful man. He would never hurt a fly.”

On stars like Britney Spears who are publicly battling their demons:
“I think that they should probably move out of L.A. I think that their parents need to help them.”

On her rumoured hook-up with Ryan Phillippe:
“That was absolutely not true. I’m pretty sure I [went home] that night with my friend Nicole. I’m pretty sure we went to Taco Bell…Can I not even talk to a guy?”

On her life philosophy:
“I just want to have fun. Life is too short…through all my changes, I’m still the same person. I’m definitely still goofy. My heart has not changed.”
