Fabrizio Moretti’s Downward Spiral Continues

Hanging out and smokin’ the death sticks with Kirstin “Kiki” Dunst is one thing, but hanging out, smoking, and then asking for some alcohol in a CHURCH WITH KIKI IN TOW? Oh Fab! You silly boy. A little “color” (that’s what we call it in “the biz”…and “the biz” is a term we use in [...]

Who Would Win In a Fight: Patrick Swayze or David Hasselhoff?

I think we need to discuss this eternal question right now. Swayze has the dance moves and the abs. Hasselhoff has the leather jacket and millions of devoted Germans.

Who’s stealing who’s thunder?
You realize when J.Hud comes [...]

Robbie Williams Gets Rehab for His 33rd Birthday

According to his spokesman, Robbie Williams has been checke into an unnamed American rehab clinic to treat his addiction to prescription drugs, today–the date of his 33rd year on Earth.
I don’t blame him, dating America’s Next Top Model contestant Lisa “Crazy Old Face” d’Amato would drive anyone to numb the pain in any way possible.
