Alyssa Milano wants to be Rihanna’s stylist

April 22, 2010


Add Alyssa Milano to the list of designers who want to dress Rihanna! The Romantically Challenged star-and die-hard Los Angeles Dodgers fan says that she’d love to see the singer (who’s dating Dodgers star Matt Kemp) in clothes from her Touch collection, which specializes in fashionable apparel for female sports fans. “The other day I saw Rihanna in the stands in some Dodgers hoodie that I wasn’t a fan of,” Alyssa told In Touch at the NFL and Verizon Wireless Draft Eve party at Abe and Arthur’s in New York. “I just called my publicist and said, ‘You guys gotta send Rihanna some stuff!’ So she’ll be getting a good package.” So does Alyssa, who once dated baseball stars Barry Zito and Brad Penny, have any advice for Rihanna about dating a major league player? “I think it’s hard dating anyone!” says the actress, now happily married to CAA agent David Bugliari. “The best advice I could give anyone is to never forget that laughter can pretty much heal everything. I am a big Matt Kemp fan. I love him!” Playing a single character on her new ABC sitcom (which premiered on April 19 after Dancing With the Stars) doesn’t make the formed Charmed star miss her own bachelorette days. Says Alyssa, “I have to tell you that I’m so glad that I’m not still dating and that that part of my life is over with!”

Michelle Obama: Fashion, Finance Advisor to Oprah


Oprah knows a good investment when she sees one.

Early in the 2008 presidential campaign, she threw her support behind a little-known U.S. Senator named Barack Obama. We all know how that turned out.

The Big O is also high on the First Lady of the United States – specifically her fashion sense. Taking style cues from Michelle turned out to be a wise move.

Yesterday, while hosting J.Crew’s Creative Director Jenna Lyons on a special “Dream Jobs” episode of her show, the media made an interesting admission.

After seeing Michelle Obama pictures showing her in relatively affordable J. Crew cardigans, sweaters and skirts, O went and became a J. Crew investor.

Oprah knows a style star when she sees one.

“The very first time I saw the First Lady, before she became the First Lady, wearing J. Crew – full disclosure – I went and bought J.Crew stock,” she said.

The host also said putting her money on Michelle’s mix-it-up, high-low look was indeed a smart bet, saying, “That [investment] was a very good decision.”

Good thing, too. In these troubled economic times, Oprah needs all the financial breaks she can get. Hey, better than her taking advice from Octomom.

In Touch Exclusive:The Biggest Loser saved our marriage!

cahill.jpg

Danny Cahill proposed to his wife Darci in 1994, then packed on 60 pounds before they got married a year later — and he just kept gaining. By the time he went to the Biggest Loser ranch in season 8, he weighed 430 pounds. “When I asked her to marry me, I gave up my music to get a real job. When I gave up my music, I gave up on myself, my purpose in life,” Danny explains to In Touch. Darci, who says she fell in love with a “rock star,” didn’t understand his decision, but stood by him when he turned “grumpy and mean” because of his weight, even as she descended into depression and started putting on the pounds, too. But when he came home 239 pounds skinnier, she feared he might leave her! Instead, Danny asked Darci to renew their vows — and because he knows it’s her time to shine, he arranged to get her a fitting at David’s Bridal in New York City, styled by Biggest Loser season 7 contestant and celebrity stylist Nicole Brewer. In this week’s issue, the couple tell In Touch how The Biggest Loser saved their marriage.

Idol Gives Back: In Pictures


Even the most cynical individual – like one who disparages Angelina Jolie by picking apart her motives and psychoanalyzing her actions with no evidence to back up one’s negative claims – must admit:

Idol Gives Back is a very cool event.

The annual special gathers together A-list celebrities from every industry and raises millions of dollars for causes around the globe. Unless your name is Tim Urban, you must consider last night’s broadcast to be a major success.

From Jennifer Garner reading to an infant, to Fergie using her sex appeal to encourage donations, we’ve posted a slew of Idol Gives Back photos below:

Paris Hilton is, Like, So Over Doug Reinhardt


In case you had any doubts that Paris Hilton had moved on from Doug Reinhardt …

“I am like so past that – I don’t even care!” the ho-tel heiress told Us Weekly at Wednesday’s Project A.L.S. fundraiser at Lucky Strike Lanes in Hollywood.

Hilton’s rep confirmed that Paris dumped Doug “more than two weeks ago.” Hilton and LC’s ex began dating early last year. It’s been turbulent since.

“I don’t even remember that time in my life,” Hilton said. “I am over it!”

Wow Doug. Sit the eff down, you just got served, dog.

But seriously folks, “I just realized that I’m better off without him,” Paris said of The Hills star. “So I ended it because I deserve so much better! He wasn’t right for me and I will eventually find somebody who loves me for who I am.”

A noble goal. But for now, the single life is hoppin’.

“I love it! I am having so much fun. A lot of guys have obviously hit on me and I am getting thousands of calls, but I’m not ready to be with anyone.”

“I want stay focused on myself and my family and my work. Then, maybe in six months or a year. For right now, I’m just too busy for a relationship.”

Hey Paris, we know a guy who’s single now too

Jon Gosselin Fires, Denounces Own Attorney


Bringing back fond memories of last summer, when he couldn’t decide whether or not Michael Lohan represented him or which mediocre girl he was dating, Jon Gosselin denounced comments recently made by … his own lawyer.

Jon says has fired his new attorney, in fact, a week ago.

Which explains the inflammatory statements he made about Kate Gosselin being a shameless self-promoter just hours ago. Jon runs a tight ship.

Earlier this month, Anthony F. List terming Kate an “absentee parent” and filed legal papers seeking full custody of their eight kids on Jon’s behalf.

“Kate, her attorneys and I are moving forward to work out things privately and amicably,” Jon Tweeted today. Who knows what he’ll say tomorrow.

Tooling Around

Jon Gosselin needs to get his $h!t together. And get a job.

“Mr. Anthony List Sr., Esq., is not my representing attorney; I terminated him on April 15. He has no legal right to speak to the press on my behalf.”

Maybe you should tell him that, dumbass.

List had said he was a longtime friend of Jon’s late father, Tom, and promised the elder Gosselin that he would help out Jon if the need ever arose.

Looks like that “help” entailed frivolous, mostly baseless legal maneuvers attempting to wrest money and/or control of the kids from Kate Gosselin.

As Hailey Glassman can attest, this idiot clearly needs to take advice from someone he can actually trust, and/or make decisions himself for once.

Bristol Palin Describes Prank Call Harassment


Bristol Palin said she received countless phone calls and texts when her number was posted online after her mom’s e-mail was hacked back two years ago.

Palin testified Wednesday that she was 17 and pregnant in 2008 when her Sarah Palin’s Yahoo! account was invaded by a Tennessee college student.

Now 19, Bristol Palin said the worst harassment occurred when a bunch of boys called her up, claiming they were outside her door and wanted in.

No word if baby daddy Levi Johnston was one of rowdy gang of hooligans or if anyone inquired about whether or not her refrigerator was running.

“We live in the middle of nowhere in Alaska … in the middle of the woods,” Palin said, noting that private photos of her family were posted online.

Beautiful BristolDavid Kernell Picture

Bristol Palin can thank this doofus for the phone and text harassment.

“I saw a screen shot on the TV … I think it was Fox News,” she said, coincidentally plugging the station for which Sarah is a paid political analyst.

David Kernell, 22, has been charged with identity theft, wire fraud, accessing Palin’s e-mail account without authorization and obstructing an FBI investigation.

If convicted, he could be sent to prison for up to 50 years.

The former University of Tennessee student has not been accused of the harassing calls, e-mails and text messages that Bristol Palin described to the jury.

Kernell’s attorney claims the e-mail intrusion was just a prank and has attempted to show the account was accessible to others. But he still did it, right?

Sarah’s hacked account was set up just after she was picked to be the Vice Presidential running mate of Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

Damon Thomas Beat Kim Kardashian, Tabloid Reports


Kim Kardashian is no stranger to the world of tabloid journalism. Quite the contrary, in fact.

The reality star pays a publicist to ensure she and her family receive as much attention as possible. But while these stories typically center around harmless “news” items such as Kim’s latest weight loss, a pair of reports this week focus on Kim’s dangerous love life.

First, Life & Style quoted Kim’s friends as fearing for their pal’s feelings because she’s mixed up with a major, orgy-loving player in Cristiano Ronaldo.

Conversely, Star delves into Kardashian’s past. It claims to have uncovered court documents that prove Kim was abused in her marriage to music producer Damon Thomas.

Secret Marriage ReportDamon Thomas

Kardashian and Thomas (pictured, right) were married from 2000-2004. During their time together, the cover story above alleges the latter flew into jealous rages, threatened Kim’s life and forced her to get plastic surgery.

Kim recounts one incident, citing a day when the couple was scheduled to go skydiving with Justin Timberlake:

“Before we left our home, Damon hit me in the face and cut my lip open. I fell into the bed frame and banged my knee hard. I was limping when we went skydiving.”

If this story is true, Kim has recovered nicely. She’s established a career for herself that involves receiving money for random appearances, followed by a day of shopping and paparazzi photos that are often arranged by her publicist, resulting in more cash in Kim’s pocket.

For example, Kardashian has spent this week in Australia…

Trista and Ryan celebrate Earth Day!

April 22 is Earth Day, and Trista and Ryan Sutter are marking the occasion with an online party at parentsconnect.com – but the couple also practice what they preach every day, from buying organic diapers to unplugging unused electronics. “It’s not like we are living in a bubble. It takes a little stuff from everyone. We recycle. We use as many green products as we can,” the former Bachelorette tells In Touch. And this environmentally friendly lifestyle starts at their front door. “We make everyone take their shoes off before entering our house,” she says. “We want everyone to realize how easy it is to make a difference and Nickelodeon’s ParentsConnect is the ultimate online parenting hub which makes it easy to reach a large audience with this virtual party.” It’s also going to be a “green” summer for the family, which includes son Max, 2, and Blakesley, 1, as Ryan trains outdoors for competitions to raise money for young adults with cancer for firstdescents.org. “We’ll be cheering him on at every race,” says Trista.

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor: I Didn’t Kill Anna Nicole!


One of the shady doctors charged in the Anna Nicole Smith drug case claims prosecutors have no evidence he conspired to pump her full of drugs.

As a result of this “misunderstanding,” Dr. Sandeep Kapoor wants the judge to throw out some charges he faces in the late model’s 2007 death.

Kapoor’s lawyer, Ellyn Garofalo, filed legal papers asking the judge to reject the prosecution’s claim that Kapoor teamed up with Howard K. Stern.

The accusation: Kapoor, Stern and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich made a conscious effort to fuel Anna Nicole Smith with drugs that ultimately killed her.

As usual, it’s a very fine line and difficult to prove.

Sandeep Kapoor Picture

IN SANDEEP $H!T: Dr. Kapoor allegedly broke many laws.

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor claims he prescribed drugs for Anna before he met Eroshevich, even refusing to fill a prescription list Eroshevich faxed him.

Kapoor also challenges authorities’ allegations of his obtaining Anna’s ‘scripts by “fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation,” according to the filing.

In the court papers, Kapoor acknowledges filling a prescription for Anna under a pseudonym, but he claims he only did so to protect her privacy.

Not, as prosecutors say, to “divert drugs for illegal sale or use.” Of course, the long list of felonies he’s charged with is unlikely to be fully tossed.

Three years have passed since Smith’s death, and more may follow before this case – making the Dr. Conrad Murray case seem simple – is resolved.
