    It’s celebrity crime week apparently.  First we’ve got Roman Polanski getting arrested after years of evading arrest and now this.  If only Spencer Pratt would get locked up for public indecency.

    Roger Avary, co-writer of Pulp Fiction and the film adaptations of Beowulf and The Rules of Attraction, has been sentenced for a deadly 2008 DUI crash.  The Oscar winner was sentenced to a year in jail followed by five years probation.

    Avary was arrested in 2008 after crashing his car while driving 100 miles an hour.  His wife was ejected from the car but not seriously hurt.  Sadly, a passenger in another car was killed in the accident.  Avary pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter.

    Jessica Simpson’s Dog Snatched by Coyote

    The flyer created by Jessica Simpson

    The flyer created by Jessica Simpson

    I feel pretty bad for Jessica Simpson here.  Her poor dog, Daisy, was taken by a coyote Monday night.  The singer is now desperately calling on friends and fans to help her find the missing pooch.

    Simpson made the following post on Twitter Monday night: “My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!”

    The following morning, Simpson posted the flyer above near her house.  She is presumably still looking for Daisy, who may be anywhere in the hills of L.A.
    I’ve got to say, things aren’t looking too good for little Daisy.  Dogs rarely come back after being snatched by coyotes.  I mean, you can’t really reason with a coyote and if they’re hungry… But maybe, just maybe, the wild animal is raising Daisy as its own, living off the fat of the land up in the hills above Los Angeles.  Sure it’s unlikely but it’s possible.  Right?

    Lindsay Lohan is a Mess — SURPRISE!

    fc50l Lindsay Lohan is a Mess    SURPRISE!

    Pictured above is Lindsay Lohan, looking like a fifty year old woman.  Honestly, I’m shocked when I remember that Lindsay is YOUNGER than me.  She is starting to remind me of Jenny from Forrest Gump.

    Why does this photo remind me of Mickey Rourke?

    Chris Brown’s Service, Tribute to Michael

    Chris Brown plans to participate in the Michael Jackson tribute right after he picks up some trash off the street, but before he reads to blind dogs with learning disabilities.  In the past, Chris Brown has been vocal about his appreciation for the star and attributes much of his success to a sort of immitation of MJ. This event, packed with other moderately relevant musicians (i.e. Natalie Cole and Sister Sledge), will be held in Vienna, Austria. We just hope that they don’t make Chris Brown wear the little neon reflector vest to the concert. I don’t think Michael Jackson would approve of that fashion faux pas. As you remember, he had a very persnickety take on fashion that didn’t involve fluorescent yellow. Michael Jackson 1993 l 300x225 Chris Browns Service, Tribute to Michael

    Why? Tom DeLay set for “Dancing with the Stars”

    Tom DeLay, dancing sensation

    Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has been confirmed as one of the new cast members of Dancing with the Stars.  DeLay was the House Majority Leader from 2003 to 2005.  He resigned in 2006 for allegedly breaking campaign-finance laws.  Throughout his career, the Republican was referred to as “The Hammer” because of his ability to…well, I guess hammer bills into laws?  Whatever the reason, he was loathed by the opposition party.

    I don’t get it.  I guess DeLay is a celebrity (and alleged felon) but he doesn’t seem the dancing type.  Also, he doesn’t even seem like the type to watch Dancing with the Stars.  I guess ABC knows something I don’t.  Maybe Tom can really cut a rug.

    DeLay will be joined by Macy Gray, Kelly Osbourne, Donny Osmond and others.  The show starts September 21.

    Billy Joel separating from third wife

    Billy Joel

    Billy Joel

    I like Billy Joel, I really do.  I think some of his older hits are classics.  And I know the guy’s had a tough go with the drugs, drinking and ladies.  So it bums me out to report that The Piano Man himself will be splitting from his third wife, 27-year-old Katie Lee.  The two married back in 2004.

    As we all know, Joel was once married to Christie Brinkley then to his manager, Elizabeth Weber Small. Joel has sold over 150 million records worldwide.

    Jon Gosselin Affair Confirmed

    0430 jon gosselin tlc 00 Jon Gosselin Affair Confirmed

    I am speechless right now. I actually was hoping he was not cheating on his wife because their TLC show is a huge hit. His 8 kids are going to be hurt by this. I dont really care about his crazy nagging wife…but I still feel bad for her a teensy bit. I guess their show will be called “Jon and Kate separate”.

    Relatives of Jon Gosselin’s mistress have confirmed the cheating reality star’s affair with 23-year-old Deanna Hummel!

    According to Hummel’s big brother, Jason, the two first met at the Chill Lounge in Reading, Pennsylvania back in January.

    Being the casanova that he is, the Jon And Kate Plus Eight star sent over a $3 shot to woo Deanna into his pants arms!

    Believe it or not, it worked! And by February, Gosselin was spending more and more time at Deanna’s home that she shares with big bro Jason.

    Jason couldn’t watch the media trash his little sis any longer and has now spoken out in defense of Deanna!

    The First Face Transplant

    I was writing about Victoria Principal when this came on the television. What in the world? Wow. Wow. Wow. 80% of this woman’s face was replaced.ob dp765 facetr d 20090505173027 The First Face Transplant

    A 46-year-old Ohio woman revealed Tuesday that she is the first U.S. recipient of a face transplant, a procedure that embodies both the promise of major medical advances and the ethical and economic challenges they can pose for society.

    Connie Culp underwent a 22-hour procedure at the Cleveland Clinic in December to restore function to a face that was ravaged by a shotgun blast in 2004. The wound left her without a nose, lower eyelids, upper jaw, palate and other features, and she had been unable to breathe on her own, eat solid food, smell or smile. Ms. Culp had been unable to leave her home without being shunned by others and teased by children.

    Victoria Principal is renewing her career by pulling a gun on her housemaid. What’s with these housemaids to the stars? They must be really greedy and mean because these celebrities do NOTHING wrong….right?

County Superior Court on Monday, housekeeper Maribel Banegas accuses Principal the of pointing a gun and threatening to kill her after the actress — who played Pamela Ewing on the ’80s primetime soap — terminated her employment for taking too long to walk the dog.
