As if you didn't think Joe Francis was sleazy before, this week has really been the icing on the cake, eh? First, Paris Exposed showed the Girls Gone Wild founder cavorting with, groping, and generally acting skeevy with Paris. Then, we got a lovely little glimpse into his illicit activities with the underage set. Apparently he didn't think this was all stomach-turning enough, because this morning Joe Francis went on the Howard Stern show to talk about his celebrity conquests. TMZ has the audio, but here's a rundown:
Paris is better at Oral Sex than Lindsay (but he backtracks and says he and Linds are just friends).
Paris is the best in bed out of all his celebrity conquests.
Paris was at her best in the ParisExposed era.
Tara Reid is bad in bed, maybe because she just lays there, maybe because she's the only one he used protection with [ed note: head in hands, sick].
Did he mention that Paris is the best at everything?
The interview sounds a little unnecessarily and suspiciously glowing about Paris' sexual prowess. Methinks said starlet may have asked Mr. Joe Francis if he would skew his stories in a certain direction. Hey, if she's not going to be able to get rid of the Paris Exposed information, at least she wants to get good reviews.

There has been lots of drama surrounding Isaiah Washington and the rest of the Grey's Anatomy cast in the past few months. Katherine Heigl has been perhaps the biggest cheerleader for T.R. Knight, and has made her feelings towards Isaiah and his actions very clear. Now that he's been to rehab for this situation, what do you think ABC should do about Isaiah's role on Grey's?
Following in the esteemed footsteps of Cheyenne Kimball, Hilary Duff, Jenny McCarthy and Kelly Clarkson (among others, I assume) Fergie Ferg is the new face of Candie's Shoes. The first of her ads have been released and they're...special. Fergie sure does commit herself to working on her fitness (and yes, she's got the boys on rock rock), but it should be noted that the woman photoshops well.
Also, is it just me or is she looking a little Dead in the Eyes in that second picture? Rough.
Gwen continues to wear a wig for her latest Elle cover. She may be considered a fashion icon and sex symbol now but apparently things weren't always that way for Stefani. She admits to struggling with her weight and even says she was chubby as a child. Here's highlights:
On her baby weight:
"I worked out with my trainer throughout my whole pregnancy until about two weeks before. I cried during my last session. I was like, 'I can't breathe, I can't do this anymore. What am I doing?' It was crazy. All my life I had to work hard to stay in shape. I've always struggled with it. I was a little chubby when I was younger, and I didn't want to be that person forever. I became a swimmer at school -- but only because I wanted to be skinner! I'm extremely vain. I like wearing cute clothes."
On getting her figure back post-pregnancy:
"There aren't any tricks, it's simple math: you put this much food in, you burn that much working out. I gave myself three months -- but if I didn't have an album coming out, there's no way I would have gotten back into shape in that time. I worked out with my trainer five days a week, with weekends off. I would really recommend doing weights. I'm not into yoga and Pilates -- they don't work for me and I don't have the patience. I'm more like a man, I like going to the gym and lifting weights or doing a little boxing."
At least she admits she is vain. Having a trainer and probably a private chef also helps. The best part of the article is when she mentions that Kingston is "the most romantic thing" she and Gavin have done. Their adorable son certainly has been the reason we have been most interested in Gwen lately. For more pics of glam Gwen just read more
Jim Carrey has worn a lot of hats in his career, stunning impersonator, shaggy haired eccentric, slapstick comedian, children's book caricature, and that's just the beginning. In recent years, the man who immortalized the phrase "laces out" has been somewhat of a recluse, with rumors of on-set "diva-like" behavior and "obsessive" tendencies following him from project to project. While he seems to have settled down and found something like love with Jenny McCarthy (over a shared passion for fabulous hair, of course), his past few movies have all been cancelled before coming to life, and his newest film, The Number 23, is independent and dark, hardly a typical Jim Carrey vehicle. In the upcoming Radar Magazine, they break down the mystique of Jim Carrey, and try to answer the question of whether he will ever return to his Dumb and Dumber roots:
As he [shot a scene in 23], Carrey wrote on walls. He wrote on himself. And then, as the cameras rolled, he unzipped his fly and urinated. That last part wasn't in the script. Perhaps if Carrey weren't himself obsessed with the number 23, or if he didn't have a reputation for being both dark and obsessive, taking a leak on the set would have simply been regarded as an admirable commitment to his role–which is how dirrector Joel Schumacher sees it: "If Brando had done it in the early days, or De Niro, it would now be considered genius because they stayed in character."
"He's a tough guy to get along with, but he's not a dick," says a writer who's worked with him. "He doesn't kick people so he can feel better about himself."
"I've never seen a more meticulous re–hearser," adds director Brad Silberling (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events). What appears to be an off-the-cuff performance "is like choreography.…He spends an unbelievable amount of time at home, alone, rehearsing."
Whispers about his behavior became painfully public during the filming of his last comedy, 2005's Fun with Dick and Jane, on which Carrey's delays and demands caused the budget to balloon dramatically. Production on the film was so traumatic that Dean Parisot, its genial director, began referring to the project as "Fun with Jane."
As a huge Jim Carrey fan, it's fascinating (if not, at times, troubling) to get a glimpse into his personal struggles with his craft and the feelings of those who have worked closely with him throughout the years. No doubt there will be many different Jim Carreys in the years ahead, and I can't wait to see any of his incarnations. And if I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night.
I love almost everything about the fabulous city of San Francisco -- the beautiful architecture, amazing weather and most importantly the intelligent inspirational people I have met along the way. Unfortunately, that list does not include our mayor, Gavin Newsom. He has reached a new low. The celebrity mayor will be making a statement shortly regarding the scandalous affair revealed this morning. What's worse is that the affair was with Gavin's good friend and campaign manager's wife. Here's more:
Alex Tourk, who served as Newsom's deputy chief of staff before becoming his campaign manager in September, resigned yesterday afternoon after learning from his wife, Ruby Rippey-Tourk, herself a former Newsom staffer, that she and the Mayor had a short-lived affair about a year and a half ago. Rippey-Tourk told her husband about the affair as part of her rehabilitation program to overcome substance abuse. At the time of the affair, Newsom was in the process of divorcing his ex-wife, Fox News host Kimberly Guifoyle. After learning of the affair, Tourk confronted the mayor, expressed his feelings about the situation, and resigned. Newsom is expected to make a statement on the situation later this morning.
Let's just say we are not surprised. As one of my girlfriends said, we already have a mayor who spends more time doing his hair then we do, so you know there's a problem there. It would be great if he could concentrate on getting the homeless off the streets instead of bedding his good friend's wife.
Kristin Cavallari went for a coffee run in LA, mixing elements of glamour with punk rock. She spiced up her jeans and white tank with a black fringe vest, her go-to Alexander Wang studded duffel bag, and some nude Brian Atwood pumps.
