The Arbitrary

In some of the least shocking news of the year, Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson have files for divorce. From People:
Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce from Kid Rock, her rep has confirmed to PEOPLE.

"Pamela filed for divorce last week," Anderson's rep, Tracy Nguyen tells PEOPLE. "It wasn't a happy Thanksgiving." A rep for Rock had no comment.

On Monday, Anderson posted the following message on her Web site:

11/27/2006
Divorce
Yes, it's true.
Unfortunately impossible.

In fact, Anderson, 39, and Rock, 35, both filed divorce petitions Monday, each citing irreconcilable differences, but they gave different dates of separation. Anderson's papers said they separated before Thanksgiving weekend, on Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2006, while Rock – who filed under his real name, Robert Ritchie – said they separated on Sunday, Nov. 26. No reasons were given for the discrepancy.

Both ask that the court not get involved in awarding spousal support.

At an L.A. nightclub, Michael Richards was doing a stand up comic routine when he flew into a tirade filled with racial slurs aimed at some hecklers in the audience. The video is pretty offensive, but if you wish to view it you can do so here. It's disappointing to see that after all these years there are still people like Richards out there. Of course, now he's appologized on David Letterman and everything is supposed to be okay. F-ing celebrities think they can go around and say anything and apologize later, and everything will be okay. You can view that video here. But I don't buy it- flying into a fit of rage is one thing, but only a racist would jump to making the remarks he made.

The crazies at that publishing company have finally come to their moral senses. O. J. Simpson's book, in which he hypothetically confesses to murder, has been pulled. From FoxNews:

News Corp., the parent company of book publisher Harper Collins and the FOX network, has canceled publication of the O.J. Simpson book and television special "If I Did It."
"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," said
Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.

In the book, the one-time football superstar tells how he would have killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman if, in fact, he had done it.
A dozen FOX affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the book's publication.

One station manager who had said he wasn't airing the special said he was concerned that whether or not Simpson was guilty, he'd still be profiting from murders.

I was kind of surprised by some of the celebs that turned out for the big wedding this past weekend. Turns out I wasn't the only one. TMZ takes a closer look:

Given that we thought the guest list at the Cruise-Holmes nuptials in Italy seemed more like a Fellini film, or an episode of "The Surreal Life" -- Marc Anthony? Jenny McCarthy? Jenna Elfman? -- we tried to break down exactly what some of these people were doing all the way over in Bracciano, so far away from home. It should make for some awkward moments during the dinner hour.

Several of the guests -- John Travolta, Elfman and her husband Bodhi, and Leah Remini -- are members of the Scientology tribe, so that makes sense. But what about J. Lo? It turns out that Lopez and Remini are close pals ... and remember that Remini was the first celeb to cop to a Suri sighting, so we know she's in the inner circle.

Now we're pretty sure that Jenny McCarthy and TomKat haven't worked together on anything recently, but J-Mac's squeeze, Jim Carrey, used to go out with Renee Zellweger, who, of course, was Cruise's co-star in "Jerry Maguire." No word from Carrey's rep on whether this rather tenuous connection is the precise reason for his attendance.

Perhaps J.Lo's husband Anthony said it best in a toast he reportedly gave last night in the bar at the wedding hotel in Rome: "To life, to the occasion, and to new friends." Or, as the case may be, complete strangers.

In the most unsurprising news of the weekend, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made it official over the weekend in Italy. Many celeb friends were of course in attendance. From A Socialite's Life:

There were fireworks inside, too, a "never-ending kiss" between the betrothed after they exchanged vows Saturday. The kiss lasted so long it caused guests to shout "stop, stop!" said Giorgio Armani, who attended the wedding and designed the outfits of the bride, the groom and their baby, Suri.
The couple flew out of Rome Sunday for a honeymoon in the Maldives, said Ciampino airport spokesman Adriano Franceschetti. The rest of the wedding party was due to fly to Los Angeles later in the day.

The ceremony was a lavish apex to perhaps the celebrity world's most closely watched relationship, proclaimed with Cruise's leap on Oprah Winfrey's couch, bestowed with the nickname "TomKat" and raised to a new level seven months ago when Holmes gave birth to their daughter.
The evening wedding was performed by a Scientology minister in front of more than 150 relatives and friends, the couple's publicists said.

It still baffles me that celebs that are constantly photographed by the paparazzi don't want to wear panties or bras. They know better, which is why I don't feel the least bit bad about posting these pics. As far as I am concerned, they are asking for it. So start your Thanksgiving week with a little nip and noonie! (Please note: the second pic is NSFW. You've been warned.)

If you grew up in the 80's and have any self respect, you should know who Willie Aames is. He played Scott Baio's sidekick Buddy Lembeck on Charles in Charge. Some folks over at RadarOnline got tired of always seeing celebrities hawking crap on infomercials and decided to have a little fun with the now-ordained minister Aames. Click here to read about all the hilarity.

Looks like there's no going back now: Britney Spears apparently logged into her Myspace account on Monday (November 14) to remove estranged husband Kevin Federline from her top twelve friends, replacing the pole position with Jive Records. She also removed the messages asking her fans to buy Kevin's new album and request his song 'Privilege'.

Get a load of the new digs that Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz have purchased in Hawaii. At $16.9 million, the complex looks more like a small town that a home. Located on Oahu the location is 11,000 sq. ft. and boasts 11 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms! I will happily volunteer to look after the property any time!

In an exclusive at TMZ, this is what they've learned:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the Los Angeles City Attorney is deciding if Paris Hilton is a crime victim and if Shanna Moakler is the perp. TMZ has learned that LAPD has completed its investigation into a smackdown last month at Hyde nightclub in Hollywood. TMZ posted video of Hilton going to the Hollywood division of the LAPD, claiming that Moakler socked her in the jaw. TMZ cameras caught Moakler calling the cops, just before going to the same station and filing a report alleging that Stavros Niarchos, Paris' ex, pushed her down a flight of stairs. We're told the City Attorney got the case from LAPD yesterday and is now deciding whether to file misdemeanor battery charges against Moakler and Niarchos.

The feud between Hilton and Moakler was triggered by Paris' close "friendship" with Travis Barker, Shanna's estranged husband. Days before the incident, a TMZ camera caught Hilton in a passionate lip lock with Barker in the Big Apple. And get this -- we're told the main players have been "less than cooperative" with authorities and that Niarchos has had it with both Paris and Shanna and wants nothing to do with them anymore.

On the season finale of Dancing with the Stars, Emmitt Smith beat out Mario Lopez as the king of the dancefloor, taking reigning champion/partner Cheryl Burke with him. I can't say I'm sorry. Mario and Katalina really kinda bugged me. All their lovey-dovey smoochie talk wore thin really quickly. And they can't even admit that they're doin' it. Maybe their love is the real thing, but I can't imagine that the relationship will last now that the show is over. Mario is too much of a womanizer. Congrats Emmitt! You totally deserved it!

In preparation for their upcoming nuptials, TomKat arrived in Italy on Monday. Here's the latest on the "love birds" from People:
Tom Cruise, who plans to wed Katie Holmes this weekend in Italy, has arrived with an entourage of 10 people in Rome. The actor and company were spotted arriving in a private jet at the Ciampino Airport outside Rome at 11:30 a.m. local time. The group was then driven to their hotel under police escort. Cruise, 44, and Holmes, 27, will tie the knot in a 17th-century castle in Italy on Nov. 18.

People:
"Hey, I see a lot of fine ladies in here. You know I'm a free man, right, ladies? You wanna dance with a pimp?"

For the 33rd, and apparently final time, Jude Law and Sienna Miller have split. Let's all have a collective "awwww...." and now let's get back to news that might actually be considered news.

Model citizen and father Kevin Federline is now blackmailing his estranged wife. According to News of the World, Kevin has a sex tape with Britney doing some very naughty things. My question: Can Britney sue him for extortion? I say that when someone who is worth as little as Kevin (he was worth $15,000 when they wed) should never screw with someone as rich and powerful as Britney, but then again, Mr. F isn't exactly known for his brains.

In news we've all been waiting for, Britney Spears files for divorce against Kevin Federline. He's asking for full custody of their two children (like there's a chance in hell for that) and also for spousal support. Read more here and here and here and here. Oh Britney! You're finally back! We've missed you! I'm sure this will do wonders for Britney's image and her career.

From People:
Shanna Moakler made the best of her split from Travis Barker on Friday with a divorce party at the Las Vegas nightclub Light at the Bellagio.

"I've been to past friends' divorce parties so I'm not the first person (to have one)," she tells PEOPLE. "I'm not groundbreaking or anything. I'm really doing it for myself to have closure and celebrate being single again and start a new chapter in my life."

On hosting the oddly themed bash, Moakler tells PEOPLE, "I don't have any regrets about doing it. I am who I am and I make my own decisions. I totally respect people's opinions. I never thought I would be getting a divorce. I never thought I'd be here. At the end of the day, this isn't the worst thing in my life. People go through it every day. I respect people's opinions, but this is my opinion. This is how I'm showing the world that divorce is okay. I doesn't have to be the end of your life."

From TMZ:
Hilary Duff's alleged 18-year-old stalker has been arrested and sources tell TMZ the bust occurred after the man threatened to kill Duff this weekend.

Manhattan Beach cops arrested Maksim Miakovsky, an 18-year-old Russian emigre, at a Residence Inn last Friday. He was booked on charges of making criminal threats and stalking.

Sources tell TMZ that last Friday, a private investigator from Sunset Protective Services contacted Miakovsky at the Residence Inn and Miakovsky stated his intention of killing Duff on Sunday at an event she was scheduled to attend.

According to legal papers filed by Duff, Miakovsky came to the U.S. "for the sole purpose of meeting and becoming romantically involved with Ms. Duff."

Miakovsky is currently being held on $200,000 bail at the Manhattan Beach jail. He's scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday.
