It’s a Girl For Tiffani Thiessen & Brady Smith!

June 15, 2010


Tiffani Thiessen and Brady Smith are parents!

The couple, who got married in 2005, welcomed their first child, daughter Harper Renn Smith, on Tuesday in Los Angeles, her rep confirmed to People.

Baby Harper, who weighed in at 8 lbs., 3 oz., is “doing great,” as are the White Collar star and her hubby, who couldn’t be happier with the new arrival.

Congratulations to the new parents!

Thiessen’s colleagues say motherhood is something she’s more than ready for. “She’s totally the den mother of the show,” White Collar costar Matt Bomer said.

“She’s so organized and so loving and generous – that can only make her an absolutely amazing mom.” Added costar Tim DeKay: “She’ll make a great mom.”

Thiessen and Smith, an artist and actor, say starting a family is “something we’ve wanted for a long time and we are thrilled that it’s actually happening.”

Charlie Sheen Car Stolen, Driven Off Cliff… Again


Who would have thought that the strangest thing about Charlie Sheen’s life would NOT involve drugs or prostitution… but car theft?!?

For the second time in four months, the actor has had his car stolen and driven off a cliff.

In February, authorities found Sheen’s SUV off Mulholland Drive. He later admitted that he left the keys in the ignition and no suspects were ever apprehended for the crime.

Now, THE SAME THING HAS SOMEHOW HAPPENED AGAIN. According to a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department, Sheen once again left his keys inside his Mercedes, which was parked in his driveway… which is located inside a gated community.

Charlie Sheen: A moron, a scheming individual or both?

Police alerted the actor to the car’s disappearance around 3 a.m. this morning. They then located it on the side of the road in Beverly Hills, less than a mile from where the original incident took place.

Sources say the cops are referring to this situation as “suspicious,” while one officer told Us Weekly:

“The investigation is ongoing. It’s impounded for [finger] printing.”

Rihanna, Travis Barker Join Eminem in Concert


Last night at the Staples Center, Eminem was joined on stage by Travis Barker, and more significantly by Rihanna for their new song, “Love the Way You Lie.”

“I want to bring out a very special guest with me tonight. California, make Rihanna feel at home ya’ll,” Eminem told the crowd at Activision’s E3 preview event.

The song was one of the leaked Recovery tracks from the rapper’s latest album, which features multiple projects with other artists and is earning critical praise.

Check out the live collaboration of superstars below …

What do you think of “Love the Way You Lie”?

Britney, Beyoncé and Gaga get shot! Double Exposure stars tell all


The stars are on both sides of the camera on Bravo’s new reality show Double Exposure (premiering Tuesday, June 15, at 10 p.m. ET), which follows the artistic adventures of famous photography team (and former lovers) Markus Klinko and Indrani. Along with their stylist GK Reid, Markus and Indrani shared the stories behind some of their most iconic images with In Touch. After the jump, how Beyoncé got into Markus’ pants before he fell in love with Britney and went Gaga…

Robert Pattinson is the Anti-Kristen Stewart


Kristen Stewart is so uncomfortable with fame that she recently compared the paparazzi to rapists.

Conversely, boyfriend Robert Pattinson is clearly enjoying his time in the spotlight. He’s not obnoxious about it at all, but in each interview Rob gives, he comes across as relaxed, jovial and simply amazed at what his life has become.

Case in point: on Nightline last night, Pattinson joked that if he ever has kids and they want to go into acting, he’ll say: ‘Yeah, it’s great. You don’t have to do anything. Everything goes right.’”

Asked about his mindset on fame, Robert could have been addressing Kristen directly when he said the key is to enjoy it, “rather than looking like it’s freaking you out and you want to leave.”

It’s obvious Robert is following his own advice. See for yourself:

Embracing Fame

Robert was also asked why the Twilight Saga is considered so sexy… even though Edward and Bella wait so long to have sex.

That’s exactly the point, Rob replied:

”Anyone who likes the books, they all think they’re really sexy. They just like that moment before [sex]… the kind of tipping point before it goes over. I mean, everybody likes that. That’s the best part, for a relationship.”

Yes, folks, Robert Pattinson just talked up the benefits of foreplay. As if it was possible for women around the world to love him anymore than they already do!

Watch the entire interview below.

Gary Coleman Made “Choice to Prolong Life,” Shannon Price Made Choice to End It


Shannon Price took her unresponsive ex-husband Gary Coleman off of life support on May 28, with his cause of death officially listed as simply “Fall.”

However, in 2006, Coleman specifically directed in legal documents that he didn’t want anyone to pull the plug on him if he was ever in that situation.

Those documents, ironically, were filed by Shannon Price herself, as she makes an effort to be granted control over the disposition of Gary’s remains.

Among the documents filed in court by Price, who Coleman divorced in 2008, is a health care power of attorney letter which Gary filled out in 2006. 

Under the heading “Instructions for Health Care,” Coleman checked a box titled “Choice to Prolong Life” which states that “I want my life to be prolonged as long as possible within the limits of generally accepted health care standards.”

The other option – “Choice Not to Prolong Life” – was not checked off.

Price and Coleman Photo

Gary Coleman’s former wife Shannon Price may not be a complete POS, but she hasn’t done much to convince us of this with her conduct in the last couple of weeks.

Shannon Price was, legally, in control of Gary’s medical decisions at the time of his death – but did she defy his wishes by taking him off life support?

In the documents, and in the interviews she shamelessly shopped (along with that death photo), Shannon has said she was “forced” to pull the plug.

She did not elaborate on why it was “forced,” and while she may very well have felt that way, it would be hard for the girl to appear less sympathetic.

In a newly released 911 call – four months prior to the Gary Coleman 911 call regarding his ultimately fatal fall in May – Price was pretty nonchalant.

“Yeah, he’s suicidal.” That’s how Price described Gary to an operator earlier this year, complaining that he was “humiliating me in front of my friend.”

Local police later showed up and arrested Gary on a warrant for failure to appear in court for a 2009 domestic violence incident … involving Price.

Coming Soon: An Abby Sunderland Reality Show?


The world agrees: thank goodness Abby Sunderland is safe and sound.

Following the rescue of this 16-year old sailor, though, a new debate has emerged: were her parents irresponsible for allowing her to sail around the globe in the first place?

If you’re of the opinion that Abby’s parents should never have let their teenage child embark on such a dangerous mission, the following piece of news won’t exactly change your mind about Mr. and Mrs. Sunderland:

The New York Post reports they are broke and Laurence Sunderland had signed a deal to film a reality show (Adventures in Sunderland) weeks after Abby set off on her doomed sail.

“The show might be about family, it might be about Abigail’s trip. It’s something that was shopped around,” he told the newspaper. “We thought it might be a good idea if it was encouraging to kids to get out there and do things.”

Mr. Sunderland insists, however, that his daughter’s dangerous trip was not a PR stunt for the series, which he says was “the last thing on my mind” when Abby lost contact with her family for 20 hours last week.

“That’s absolutely ridiculous. My passion is first and foremost for my children and their endeavors. And it’s absolutely, totally ridiculous and totally unfounded,” Sunderland told Larry King of last night of allegations he staged Abby’s trip for publicity.

Abby agrees. She blogged yesterday that her solo navigation was “the best thing I have ever done or been through and I don’t ever want to forget all the great times… or the bad ones for that matter.”

Kendra Wilkinson is Back, Babyyy!


It’s been almost a week since Kendra Wilkinson pretended to be hurt by her sex tape in a nationally-televised interview with Ryan Seacrest.

But, don’t worry, folks: the reality star is back!!!

A day after celebrating her birthday, Kendra Tweeted to the world: “25 feels so good lolol!!”

We have to ask: as good as Justin Frye appeared to have made you feel in this photo? lolol!!

Kendra Pic

Wilkinson then took to her Facebook page and wrote:

“Hey everyone…I really want to thank all of you for all the love and support you’ve shown me over the past few weeks!!! I love you all so much! I’m leaving the past in the past and I’m so excited for my future with my family. I’m back babyyy!!! Lolololol!!!!!”

Thank goodness. We’re so grateful to hear that someone whose famous for having posed naked, someone who pocketed well over $500,000 for her sex tape, someone who talked about it publicly every chance she got, and someone whose face appears on a tabloid cover each week is finally back.

We’ve really missed her.

The Bachelorette Recap: Kasey Gets Kreepy


What might have been a tame episode of The Bachelorette soon became surprisingly memorable as Kasey made a complete fool of himself – many times over.

He certainly didn’t take any of the conventional routes – drunkenness, jackassery, climbing mountains Rated R style – either. No, Kasey was a unique kalamity.

How did Ali Fedotowsky respond to his increasingly odd overtures? Who received roses at the end of the night and which two guys’ dreams were krushed forever?

THG breaks down all the action below in its plus-minus index …

Chris Harrison informs the guys they are headed around the world, starting in New York City. The Bachelorette’s budget must really be increasing lately. Plus 4.

Ali Fedotowsky gets an InStyle makeover. Minus only 1, because while complete cross-promotional filler, this did provide us gorgeous shots of Ali Fedotowsky.

Kasey gets a one-on-one date and talks to the cameras about how Ali is a beautiful butterfly, “ready and open for love.” It only gets weirder from there. Minus 2.

Kasey Kiss

KRAZY TRAIN: Kasey puts the unintentionally hilarious moves on Ali. 

Minus 37, one point for each time he said he’s there to “protect and guard” her heart. 1. Who even talks like that? 2. This will make a fun drinking game next week!

During their private date in the museum, Kasey gets all intense about their love and continues the most god-awful singing imaginable. Plus 10 for Ali’s stunned look.

Plus 13 more for Ali calling him out on this crap. She says he’s not himself. Whether that’s true or not, he’s not impressing her and at least she didn’t placate him.

How can he not get a rose and still stick around for the rose ceremony, though? Isn’t the whole point that it’s make or break? Minus 4 for making up rules on the fly.

Roberto, Jesse, Craig, Kirk, Jonathan, Frank and Ty head to Times Square for a VIP Broadway experience and are forced to pretend they really like theater. Plus 8.

Lauding Roberto’s courage and truth, the producer chooses him for a date with Ali, then says they’re going to be in The Lion King. Minus 5. A nice dinner would do.

Plus 11 for the gratuitous, half-nude shots of Ali and Roberto Martinez, especially since the other suckers have to sit and watch a play and Roberto workin’ it.

In a driving rain, Ali reassures Frank about her feelings for him and they make out. Frank says he wants whatever she has. Barf, but Minus only 3 since we like Frank.

A-Fed PicRoberto Martinez Picture

BIG LEAGUER: Roberto rose to the occasion on Broadway’s biggest stage.

Jonathan the Weatherman freaks out more and more with each letdown. It’s like a train wreck in slow motion, only the train has had 10 cups of coffee. Minus 6.

Weatherman has a serious cow when Kirk swoops in and escorts an under the weather Ali to bed. Plus 5 for Kirk seizing the moment and Plus 2 for Jonathan tweaking.

Sick Ali invites Chris Lambton to her suite instead of going out, which is even better for getting to know each other. Plus 9 for Chris L. making lemonade (figuratively).

The producers are overplaying the situation with his mom a bit to make Chris look all sympathetic, but it is important, and he does seem genuine and sweet, so Wash.

The guys notice Kasey is “missing.” That’s because he’s at a tattoo parlor. Getting a shield guarding a heart. Plus 17, ’cause that is the lamest, most insane move ever.

Kasey tells his competitors the bandage on his wrist is from a burn. Justin Rego of all people is sure he’s lying (see Bachelorette spoilers for definition of irony). Plus 9.

Finally kalled out, Kasey reveals his tattoo, which he says is courageous or something. Frank counters that it “doesn’t prove anything except that you’re nuts.” Plus 7.

TOTAL: +36. SEASON: +86.

Roses: Chris L. (earlier); Kirk, Frank, Craig, Chris N., Roberto, Justin, Ty and Kasey.

Out: Jesse and Jonathan. Poor Weatherman.
