Vanessa Hudgens Initiates Self Into “Wayward Young Starlets Club” With Internet Nudie Pics

0906_vanessa_hudgens_fm_bn.jpgDear Vanessa Hudgens,

Being that I’m not a pre-pubescent “tween” or the lonely mother of one, I had no idea who you were before yesterday, when I was bombarded with links to pictures of a young girl wearing no clothing who strongly resembled you. I gather that, prior to this little “scandal”, you were known primarily for your part in this whole High School Musical/Zac Efron-omenon thing that’s been going on, but now, upon the confirmation that you were, in fact, the young lady depicted in those nudie pics, I’d like to personally welcome you to the wonderful world of being a Wayward Young Starlet.

First of all, THANK YOU! Your timing could not have been more perfect. While it’s been fun lambasting each and every indignity of the Hilton/Lohan/Spears triumvirate these past few years, I think I speak for everyone when I say the well of “Paris is a slut”/”Lohan is a crackhead”/”Britney is bonkers” jokes has run dry. So we all really appreciate your taking the initiative to step up and provide us with a new source of celebrity misfortune from which we will find immeasurable delight. Because, as if this doesn’t go without saying, you have de-railed from the Squeaky Clean Teen track of Disney Stardom, and you are now cruising your way down the Trainwreck Express, next stop “Playboy”.

So what does this mean for your future? This means that the media will now associate you almost exclusively with sexuality, and your only option is to embrace this newfound notoriety by hitting the town and reinforcing your Bad Girl image every chance you get. Les Deux. Hyde. Koi. Learn the names of these nightclubs, because they will be your new home. Don’t wait for the TMZ cameras to find you – get out there and find them. Stop wearing underwear. When you leave a nightclub, you should never “walk” – you should stumble. Most importantly, you must immediately launch of campaign of casual sex like you’re the last girl left in Hollywood, and it’s your procreative duty to repopulate all of LA. This may not be the career you imagined for yourself, but you’ve got to play the hand you’ve been dealt. Just look at Paris – she may never get any closer to an Oscar than having one used on her as a sex toy by some sleazy producer, but she’s never going to starve (unless it’s self-inflicted). Remember, the important thing is to have fun with this – don’t think of it as a loss of dignity, think of it as a liberating sense of freedom to do whatever you want, no matter how stupid.

I am expecting great things from you, and I think this is be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Best,
Alex Blagg

“SIZZLER”: Gordon Ramsay Flambés Own Testicle, Serves Up Some Delicious Karmic Schadenfreude

ramsay_balls.jpgCranky British chef Gordon Ramsay – best known for shouting obscenities at culinary weaklings on his hit show Hell’s Kitchen – recently suffered a painful little bit of unpleasantness himself, burning his Icarus-like genitals for flying too close to an open kitchen flame. Here’s the “dish”, straight from the horse’s filthy mouth:

[Ramsay] explains, “I was standing too close to the hob when I was cooking. I was wearing these cotton trousers underneath I was going commando. Suddenly I felt this searing heat. My b**ocks were burning. “I went to the hospital because of the excruciating pain. I had an ultrasound and I get the results on Friday.

While we hope the results of this ultrasounds indicate that all is well with the TV chef, if it turns out that he’s over-cooked his nads to a gummy medium well, maybe he will find the silver lining in the situation, creating an entirely new flavor profile by serving Jerk Testicles with a Karma Caramel Sauce and a side of Bitter Impotency at his next overblown restaurant endeavor.

SIZZLER: Drew Barrymore Hoping Switch To Mac Guy Will Be Less Of A Relationship Logic Error

Having already rolled the dice with Tom Green (whose cow-udder fellatio just screamed “husband material”), that dude from The Strokes, and Spike Jonze (allegedly), Drew Barrymore seems to be moving on to a new man, this time selecting Justin Long, better known as the less funny, more annoying dorky dude from those Mac vs. PC commercials. Personally, I think she’d be better off with John Hodgman (the PC Guy), but Apple Care has a pretty good return policy, so maybe next month.

SIZZLER: Other Things Found in Gisele’s Baby Gift Basket

GISELLE SUPERMODS.JPGThe cat fight between Tom Brady‘s exes seems to be heating up! Today, the NY Daily News is reporting that Brazilian Supermodel Gisele Bundchen (Hee-Zeh-Lee Boon-chen) plunked down $1,000 (roughly 2 minutes of catwalk time) on miniaturized items for Bridget Moynahan‘s newborn baby spawn. One of the things reportedly in the basket was a small onesie with the word “Supermodel” written across the front:

A rep for Petit Tresor, an upscale children’s store in Los Angeles, confirmed that her estranged baby-daddy, Tom Brady, had phoned in an order.

His new girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen, paid for a separate order in the same phone call. Included in Gisele’s $1,000 gift basket was a onesie with the word “supermodel” written across it.

Which is exactly what you want when your boyfriend leaves you for a Brazilian supermodel just after you get pregnant. Tactful!

  • Miniature stillettos
  • An Agent Provocateur lace bib and riding crop
  • A small puke bucket
  • Roundtrip tickets to Ibiza
  • A lifesize cardboard cut-out of Giselle Bundchen
  • A single pea
  • An autographed Tom Brady football
  • A Dolce & Gabbana corset belt, sz. 3 mos
  • Strivectin
  • Condoms
  • Baby extensions
  • Cocaine

Anyway, we’re sure Bridget’s little boy will be seen in the jumper in no time at ever.

SIZZLER: Things That Make Sense to Our Brain

JEN ANISTON RBRAD1.JPG

A few days ago, we heard that one of our favorite character actors, Bradley Cooper, had bought tickets to Cameron Diaz’s Slutapallooza 2007. We were disappointed, our hearts tainted, and our brains confused: Coops and Diaz didn’t seem to really make sense as a celebrity couple. Which is why we were more than delighted to find out today that Bradley Cooper is actually dating a different single n’ desperate starlet, Jennifer Aniston. This made TONS more sense. Why? Well… because they sort of look alike.

You know the theory: People who look alike tend to be attracted to each other. We’ve seen this happen many times with friends of ours, who found their non-related genetic opposite-gender twin, and fell madly in love. In fact, we knew from the get-go that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt would never last — they don’t look related at all. Sure enough, Brad moved on to his future wife and baby mama Angelina Jolie, whose full lips, small nose and mysterious eyes complimented Pitt’s genetic lottery win nicely.

Now look at Jennifer Aniston and Bradley CooperTHIS MAKES SENSE. They look like brother and sister, people. Similar eyes, nose, mouths and cheeks. Even their fake tan is on the same orange-scale. Hell, slap a Rachel wig on Bradley Cooper and we have a feeling you wouldn’t be able to tell the two apart!

JEN ANISTON BRAD COOPER.JPG

OK, maybe not, but you get the drift. And, for what it’s worth, J-Aniston looks like a less spanishfied version of Cooper’s ex-wife Jennifer Esposito. Aw… it’s so sweet. We smell a Spring 2008 Elopement!

SIZZLER: Britney Spears WILL Perform at the MTV VMAs!!

brtney choreog.JPGMTV might not want you to know it, but Britney Spears is, in fact, going to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas! The “mystery man” she’s been seen around with is actually her choreographer R.J. Durell, who we only hope is smart enough to invent a new dance called “The Trainwreck”, which we believe would have twice the lasting power of “The Wahtoosy.”

And while MTV hasn’t officially announced Britney’s performance, 24Sizzler.com got exclusive word from R.J.’s agent. This is going to be so sweet!:

In an exclusive interview with 24Sizzler.com, R.J.’s agent Julie McDonald says the pair’s relationship is platonic, and in fact, he’s working with Britney on her performance for the MTV Video Music Awards, being held Sept. 9.

“They’re working together,” McDonald told 24Sizzler.com Friday afternoon. “He is co-choreographing her performance for the VMAs with Nick Flores, who worked with her as dancer before, so he brought R.J. in.”

McDonald tells 24Sizzler.com that R.J. and Britney make a great choreographing couple: “They’re very good at what they do,” she said. “They’re young and fresh. He’s very talented.”

She adds that this will hopefully kick off the beginning of a long-lasting working relationship. “Hopefully it will work out well, and they’ll work together again. We hope this continues.”

As for the specifics of the performance, which has yet to be officially confirmed by MTV, McDonald says, “It’s being kept under wraps.” She adds they began working together “a couple of weeks ago” and they’ve been spending time together “rehearsing the number.”

And is their relationship more than just friends or co-workers? “I would doubt that,” she said.

Don’t be so hasty there. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lil’ R.J. was brought into the world 8 and a half months from now. Full Disclozh: We might have a little crush on R.J., if only because he choreographed this kick-ass looking Rock of Ages musical. Please, please, please say the Britney performance will be even half as hilare.

You can catch the VMA’s on MTV, September 9 @ 9 PM!

SIZZLER: John From Cincinnati Star Unable To Break Character, Even For DUI Mugshot

austin-nichols-mugshot.jpgOnly days after HBO announced that it was not planning to renew John From Cincinnati for a second season, the show’s titular star Austin Nichols (who’s also a known member of Jake Gyllenhaal‘s “All-Boy Buff Biker Gang”) has been arrested for Driving Under The Influence in Jackson, Michigan, where he has been spending part of his summer. While there’s nothing particularly surprising about an actor drowning their “sh*t-canned series” sorrows in booze then having a therapeutic little drive around some hick town out in the sticks, I was slightly amused by his mugshot, in which he displays the same earnest “I did something naughty” grin that his character John wore throughout the entire show (yeah, I watched – what of it?). Does this suggest some kind of tragic denial scenario where the actor simply refuses to accept the fact that his frustratingly enigmatic show is no more, and his only coping mechanism (other than booze, obvs) is repeating back whatever people say to him, just like his bizarre character? I can almost hear him saying, “See god, Cops” and “No Butchie instead” to the arresting officers, and sounding something like a Mel Gibson playing Rain Man. Whatever the case, I just hope that our friend John here is famous enough to fall under the “Celebrity Crime Lenience Act of ’07″ that was recently passed sometime between Paris‘ release from prison and Lindsay Lohan‘s second coke-included DUI arrest.

SIZZLER: Dina To Haters — “My Children and I Are in a Wonderful Place”

Dina Doin GreatFinally, SOMEONE has the guts to stand up and defend Lindsay Lohan against this bloodthirsty public that just loves to manipulate facts into marginally different facts because they want to see famous people who are clearly failing in every regard fail. That person, by the way, is a camerashy, tight-lipped impartial onlooker named Dina Lohan:

“My children and I are in a wonderful place in our lives,” Dina told 24Sizzler.com Thursday evening, “and people just want to make things up and see us fail!”

You hear that, you conspiracy-theory-worshipping hacks? Stop trying to surgically manipulate every little detail about Lindsay’s life! Oooh, she might have done coke before leaving the nightclub the night she got arrested for her DUI, oooh, maybe she snorted some in the car — you know what? She had less than .05 grams of cocaine in her system when she got tested, ok? So stop making stuff up about her being on some crazy “coke-fueled DUI rampage.” She was just driving hammered, with a little coke in her system and a whole lot more in her possesion, and got arrested for it. Is it that hard to understand?

Sure, she admitted she was “addicted to alcohol and drugs,” but she was probably drunk off her ass when she said that! How would you feel if everytime you got drunk and said something stupid, it ended up on the cover of a gossip magazine?

It’s time to lay off. Lindsay is maintaining her tan, she’s doing photo shoots for desperate magazines, her boobs are on the cover of Maxim’s 10th Anniversary edition, she’s still the center of attention on numerous self-righteous gossip blogs — what is in any way sleazy or despicable about the way she’s lived her life in the past couple months? And why do people assume that her constantly putting her life in danger somehow magically makes the Lohan family not “in a wonderful place?”

I’ll never forget that month after I got busted for my DUI-and-coke possession… the least tense, most family-being-in-wonderful-place Thanksgiving of my life…

SIZZLER: Lohan Legally Benefits From Doing Most Of Her Blow Before The Booze-Fueled Car Chase

lohan_ex_felonycharges.jpgEarlier this morning, Court Beverly Hills filed its charges against Lindsay Lohan for her drunken, drug-possessing, high-speed car chase, which you may remember reading something about a few weeks back. In all its wisdom, the Los Angeles legal system has decided that Lohan had moved enough of the drugs she possessed from their little baggie into her little body for her crimes to be classified as misdemeanors, as opposed to the stricter felony charges she would be facing had she not already snorted her stash to practical non-existence prior to getting arrested. As TMZ reports:

As to why no felony charges were filed, the DA says Lohan’s cocaine traces “were below the .05 grams required by office policy for felony filing.”

Sources tell us there were also problems even proving she was in possession of the drug.

As for the second case, a law enforcement source tells us the manner in which the cocaine was seized was questionable. In addition, the source says the amount of cocaine “didn’t meet the threshold for filing.”

Hear that, kids? You shouldn’t do drugs, but if you do do drugs, do all of them, and do them quickly, lest you find yourself possessing enough undone drugs for the fuzz to prove that you’ve been doing drugs when they arrest you for reckless drunk driving, which you were only doing because of all the drugs you did.

SIZZLER: Even Pete Doherty’s Cat Snorts Cocaine

COCAINE CAT.JPGWe sometimes really do wonder about the state of Pete Doherty‘s home. Like, are there just piles of cocaine laying about, much like Ray Liotta’s drug pad toward the end of Goodfellas? Or does he live in an igloo made out of the stuff? See, it never really mattered all that much before, but reports are now saying that Pete Doherty’s CATS have traces of cocaine in their blood. Fancy feast, indeed!

Pete Doherty’s pet cat has been found to have traces of cocaine in its blood stream after being taken in for observation by vets, say reports. The Babyshambles star owns a cat named Dinger, a slang word for syringe, which recently gave birth to a litter of five kittens.

One of the litter became ill and the singer was forced to take the kitten into the vet for tests, where the drug revelation was discovered. An RSPCA spokesman told the Daily Star: “It is a police matter, so we cannot deny or confirm the identity of the man who had this kitten removed. But it is very important to protect animals from substances that can do them serious harm.”

Then again, stare long and hard at this picture:


Is the world really that surprised? And more importantly, are the cats? The one inside the basket looks cracked out of his mind. Frankly, if these cats CAN snort cocaine, it’s kind of amazing – get those little bastards on Britain’s Got Talent!
