Shanna Moakler Feels Betrayed By Travis & Paris

Shanna Moakler has spoken out about the rumors surrounding the new 'romance' of ex-husband Travis Barker and party-circuit-regular Paris Hilton. (Read a recap of the earlier story at the end of this post!) Psst, a little birdie said Paris is looking unfortunately evil (read: tranny-like) in this photo! Ouch.


Shanna Moakler Speaks On Travis/Paris : "I felt betrayed..."
Just a day after reports that Travis Barker and Paris Hilton made out in front of clubgoers in New York, Barker's estranged wife Shanna Moakler tells PEOPLE that she feels "betrayed" by the news. Moakler's response? "When I first heard of the situation I felt betrayed, but in order to maintain a positive atmosphere for my children I've decided that not to exacerbate the situation by commenting on each new aspect of Travis Barker's personal life,"

What happened?!
Sure, there were reports of Paris and Travis canoodling in Vegas [we had the story!], but Paris wrote that off with a carefree statement (it was Travis' friend). THEN the tell-tale photos of the night emerged [check those out here!]. Now, it seems the two are indifferent to whether the world knows, as the latest report of the two being spotted in Butter came out! [read the full story and about Paris' recent partying letdowns here]; we'll recap:

and Travis Barker, making out in full view of clubgoers at New York City hot spot Butter at a party hosted by Kanye West. The duo snuggled and whispered in a corner banquette in the back of the club and the rocker – who is divorcing Shanna Moakler – had his arm around her. When West's song "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" began playing, Hilton stood up and started dancing near Barker. So, what's brewing between the two? "They like each other. Paris really likes him. Beyond that I cannot comment," says Hilton's rep. "Paris is single right now. You may in the future see her in the company of other men." [People]


Moby On Suri Photos: "Are They Out of Their Minds? It's Gross!"

Moby loves to talk shit, and sometimes, we love hearing him talk shit. Read his anti-Holmes/Cruise rant now!


Moby Speaks Out On Cruisegate
Dance star Moby has lashed out at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for putting their five-month-old daughter Suri on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, insisting they are using their baby as a publicity prop. The family posed for a much-hyped 22-page spread in the October (06) issue of the glossy publication, which was shot by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz under top-secret conditions. The We Are All Made Of Stars singer writes on his web blog, "Are you kidding me? Putting your f**king child on the cover of Vanity Fair? Are they out of their minds? Using a child as a PR prop? Argh. In the grand scheme of things fame pales in comparison to family and child-rearing. I don't know Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, but I really cannot for a second fathom the mind set of parents who would sell pictures of their children and use their children to get better press coverage."
He then adds, "I'm sorry, I try not to be too judgemental, but it's gross."

Scarlett Johansson's ex-boyfriend Jack Antonoff has launched a scathing attack on the actress in a new song.

He even names her in the song Better Love: "This girl had it kinda sweet / Till fame swept her off her feet / She sees nothing she did before / Hey, Scarlett, you're not the same." But the angry outburst has caused friction with Antonoff's bandmates. Bassist Matt Goldman says, "Jack sometimes wishes he hadn't named her because everyone asks about that. It's the first question they ask. And that's not what we are about."

"Love Kylie" Lingerie Pulled From Australian Stores

Pop star Kylie Minogue has reportedly been left reeling after two of her native Australia's top retailers announced they will no longer stock her lingerie collection. The Spinning Around singer, who is in remission after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year (2005), has reportedly been told by upmarket store Myer and boutique chain Bras N Things that Love Kylie products have become too unpopular. A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "It's a blow on top of news that her comeback concerts are far from sold out. It's like her own country is losing interest in her."

LL Teams Up With 50 Cent, But Happy To Be Leaving Jay-Z

He says, "We did six records in three or four days".
On leaving Def Jam, he adds, "For me, I needed to go and work with somebody who really had my best interests at heart".

Kate Moss is Fab as Mactress... Will She Bare All?

Reports state that ubermodel Kate Moss, who was posted about earlier as starring in Mike Figgis' film shorts for Agent Provocateur, might actually strip down entirely for the third movie. Phwoar!


Kate Moss To Bare All For Agent Provocateur?

British director Mike Figgis has praised supermodel Kate Moss for her acting prowess in a sexy series of short films commissioned for lingerie giant Agent Provocateur. The films, titled The Dreams Of Miss X, feature Moss writhing about in raunchy underwear - and the third movie reportedly sees the catwalk queen strip off completely. But she was more worried about her strong Croydon, Surrey, accent than going bare for the camera. Figgis says, "She was insecure about her voice, but she's got a nice voice."

David Beckham : "Suri Makes Me Want A Baby Girl"

We've been trying to avoid Cruisegate (aka the influx of Tom/Katie/Suri news) from clogging up these pages, but we love the Becks, so we have to quote. Apparently seeing little baby Suri got pretty boy David Beckham wanting a little girl of his own. Take note Vix!

David Beckham Wants Baby Girl After Seeing Suri Cruise
English soccer ace David Beckham is desperate to have a baby girl, after seeing the first picture of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' "gorgeous" daughter Suri. Beckham and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria, denied speculation she is expecting the couple's fourth child - but they did reveal they want to try for a another child next year (2007) and the soccer star admits he felt broody after seeing the photo of Suri, in October's (2006) Vanity Fair. He said, "Suri is gorgeous. I have spoken to Tom loads since the birth but it (the picture) was the first time I had seen Suri. "It has made me really want a baby girl, so fingers crossed we will have one".

Fergie Burns No Bridges

Fergie knows her landmarks, y'all! She's been accused of mixing up "London Bridges" since her video and promo art show the Tower Bridge rather than the actual London Bridge. Read on!


Fergie Slammed For Ignorance of London Landmarks
The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie has denied confusing two famous London bridges in her new video. The singer has been accused of ignorance of English landmarks because the promo for her debut solo single London Bridge features the iconic 19th century Tower Bridge, rather than the plainer London Bridge further down the River Thames. But the singer, real name Stacy Ferguson, insists, "I knew that". "I'm not saying it's about the London Bridge, it's just a London bridge"

50 Cent and Diddy Smooch and Make Up

50 Cent is doing a lot of kissing these days. First, gorgeous Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger [read about it here], now he's allegedly put his feud with P. Diddy (can we still call him that?) to rest. Reeead on!

50 and Diddy Squash Beef

50 Cent and Sean 'Diddy' Combs have reportedly settled their feud after mutual friends persuaded them to end their war of words. The row erupted when the In Da Club star - real name Curtis Jackson - recently tried to sign Bad Boy artist Mase to his G-Unit label, but Combs refused to terminate Mase's contract with his company. In retaliation 50 Cent has released new mixtape Hip-Hop Is Dead: G-Unit Radio Part 22 in which he launches a scathing attack on Diddy. He raps, "Who shot Biggie Smalls? / (If) we don't get them, they gonna kill us all / Man, Puffy know who hit that n**ga man, that n**ga's soft / He's scared them boys from the west side gonna break him off". On the introduction to his upcoming album Press Play, Combs shouts, "I'm richer, bitch!," which is believed to be aimed at Jackson. But the two protagonists were brought together in person on Wednesday (Sep. 6) and have allegedly settled their differences.
Chris Lighty, Ceo of Violator Management, tells AllHipHop.com, "We are definitely doing a cease fire".

J. Lo: "Don't Ever Dance With Marc!"

Looks like Jennifer Lopez is super protective over hubby Marc Anthony, probably because she wants this wedding to be her last. Read on!


Overprotective J. Lo Warns Photographer To Stay Away From Marc Anthony
Jennifer Lopez has been branded a jealous wife after allegedly sending a bodyguard over to break up a dance between her husband Marc Anthony and an old friend. Brazilian photographer Selma Fonseca was left speechless when she was reprimanded for dancing with Anthony at music producer Swizz Beatz's birthday party after the MTV Video Music Awards. She claims a bodyguard stormed onto the dancefloor and told her to stop dancing with the Latino hunk. Fonseca tells US tabloid the Globe, "I've known Marc for years. We danced a little bit, and he held me - but it was just a friendly thing. "All of a sudden, one of J Lo's bodyguards comes over and points a finger in my face. He says, 'Don't ever dance with Marc...!' I couldn't believe it." But Fonseca, who later took a photo of a surly looking Lopez as she left the party with her husband, insists the warning won't stop her from hitting the dancefloor with Anthony in the future. The defiant snapper adds, "This doesn't bother me one bit."

Super-flirty Lilo pisses off Harry

Whoops! Lindsay Lohan managed to piss off billionaire Hard Rock heir boyfriend Harry Morton by getting a little too comfortable with DJ Sam Young in the Boujis tent at Cliveden House. Read on for the story!

Lilo Angers Boyfriend Harry By Flirting With DJ
Lilo and Harry Morton were invited to Cliveden House, a historic English manor, where they spent the evening in a tent set up by trendy London club Boujis. That is when shit hit the fan. Lindsay reportedly left Harry ticked off after she spent the entire night glued to DJ Sam Young. Harry apparently began pouting and crying claiming she was not paying enough attention to him. But Lindsay was not having any of it. One guest told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Once they got in the Boujis tent, Lindsay made a beeline for Sam. She soon got carried away and she and Sam ended up DJing together. Then she began stroking his back and being really playful. At one stage, they even swapped numbers! Harry kept trying to drag her away. In the end Lindsay got so fed up with him she went out to the balcony, had a blazing row and gave him a mouthful - then she went back to flirting with Sam."

Paris Gets Burned x 3, Denied From Rose Bar

Is Paris Hilton's self-promoting star fading fast? RJ at Page Six reports that Paris, after making a stop at NYC hotspot Marquee where she drank "lots" of pineapple vodkas was denied by Damien (who was playing doorman) at the Gramercy Park Hotel's Rose Bar. Damien was working according to the orders of hotelier turned developer Ian Schrager, who stated that "the likes of Paris Hilton and her ilk are not welcome here". Burn! According to P6, Hilton also attempted to party-crash at Milla Jovovich's townhouse Sunday, but arrived after the party was over. We wonder if that was the Helio afterparty for Milla's Jovovich-Hawk line?

In other news, it looks like Paris isn't doing much to deny rumors surrounding her hookup with Blink-182 ex-drummer Travis Barker. Says one report -- "the two were making out in full view of clubgoers at New York City hot spot Butter at a party hosted by Kanye West. The duo snuggled and whispered in a corner banquette in the back of the club and the rocker – who is divorcing Shanna Moakler – had his arm around her. When West's song "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" began playing, Hilton stood up and started dancing near Barker. So, what's brewing between the two? "They like each other. Paris really likes him. Beyond that I cannot comment," says Hilton's rep. "Paris is single right now. You may in the future see her in the company of other men.""
