Matty gets his groove on

All I have to say is that could have been me! I wanted to go to the Austin City Limits Festival- the greatest music festival in the world- this year but couldn't get the time off from work. This chick is LUCKY. I guess life just isn't fair sometimes.

UPDATE: Cam and Tim

The X17 people have this to say about the confrontation between X17 photog and Cam and Tim:

To the best of our knowledge, the pictures and video of Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz early morning on Tuesday, September 19 were taken on a public street where there was no “Private Drive” or “Private Property” sign visible. What the photographer knows he saw and what the pictures show, were at least two people verbally and physically assaulting him. Reports stating that Ms. Diaz has told police that the photographer tried to run her over with his car are completely false. The photographer was attempting to leave what he perceived to be a dangerous situation for him and when he tried to do so, Ms. Diaz and at least one other member of her entourage stood in front of his car in an attempt to entrap him. He drove around them at what he perceived to be a safe distance, as at least five members of Ms. Diaz and Mr. Timberlake’s group were yelling at him, making threats against him. The photographer is currently in the process of filing a complaint against Ms. Diaz and Mr. Timberlake.

More on Travolta's gay kiss

John Travolta's attorney has raced to defend his client against gay slurs after the star was photographed kissing another man before flying him to America on board his private jet. Publicists insisted the smooch was harmless and Travolta's wife Kelly Preston was on board the plane which ferried the actor and the family's male nanny home from Ontario, Canada. Martin Singer (Travolta's attorney) says, "As a manner of customary greeting and saying farewell, Mr. Travolta kisses both women and men whom he considers to be extremely close friends. People who are close to Mr. Travolta are aware of his customary, non-romantic gesture."

I can't believe this is the best that they could come up with. It would have been more believable if they had issued a statement saying that Travlolta's lips were dry and he needed some chapstick.

Willie Nelson does drugs... well duh.

Willie Nelson and several members of his band were issued misdemeanor citations for drug possession early today during a traffic stop in Saint Martin Parish.

The traffic stop was conducted on Interstate 10 near Breaux Bridge.
Trooper Willie Williams says troopers smelled a strong odor of marijuana when the driver opened the bus door.
During a search of the bus, Williams say approximately 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and approximately 2/10 of a pound of mushrooms were located on the bus.

Aaron Carter to marry Playboy Playmate.

Singer Aaron Carter is engaged to Playboy Playmate Kari Ann Peniche. Carter, 18, popped the question to Peniche (who previously dated Aaron's brother Nick) on Saturday in Las Vegas while they were onstage in front of 200 people during the Playboy Comedy Tour at the Palms Casino Resort. The couple, who plan to wed in the next six months, hugged and kissed after Peniche accepted the proposal. On her MySpace page, Peniche wrote that intelligence is important in a boyfriend. "You like to be able to talk about everything that is on your mind, and if your partner can't keep up, well, you know," she wrote. "You are very attracted to someone who can challenge you, and make you see things in a whole new way." On the subject of women, Carter told People magazine: “I’m not going to tell you, ‘Oh, looks don’t matter.’ If you don’t look good, get away from me!”
I cannot believe these fruitcakes think they have a shot in hell of making it. I guess ignorance is bliss.

Madonna's new do

Personally, I don't think that it's a bad haircut. The only problem is that it's on Madonna. If it were on someone younger it would be cute, but Madge is starting to show her age (at least in these pics) and the cut makes her look like she's trying too hard to look young and hip. What do you think?

I don't think Mr. Timberlake likes to have his picture taken

What kind of sh*t is this?!

In news almost too pathetic/weird/obsessive/strange to report, Joe Simpson has now added paparazzo to his ever-increasing repetoire of controlling jobs. RadarOnline has the story:

The perpetually hustling father and manager of Jessica and Ashlee has gone beyond merely co-opting the paparazzi and has actually become one of them.

According to sources who've had recent dealings with him, Simpson has a tight working arrangement with WireImage, the mega-agency and wire service that rules the red-carpet at nearly every high-profile event in the western hemisphere. On several occasions, a camera-wielding Simpson has gone toe-to-toe with other snappers for shots of his own daughters, then approved only his own images for distribution through WireImage. At other times, he has provided the agency with exclusive (and even racy) shots of his daughters on family getaways or in other putatively private moments.
Needless to say, other photographers aren't happy. One recalled being invited to cover an event sponsored by Jessica's record label, Epic, only to find her shots blocked again and again by Joe and his Nikon. "I thought it was really odd that he was always in my way, since I was the one who was paid to be there shooting," she says. Though the freelancer did manage to get some clean shots, Joe's were the only ones WireImage deemed worthy of being distributed.

Jessica/John affair over as quick as it started

Simpson's manager dad, Joe Simpson, gave his daughter's publicist [John Shuter] the heave-ho this week, reportedly because the elder Simpson's quite perturbed about the way Shuter put the spin on his little girl's burgeoning relationship with Mayer, with a People magazine cover story Aug. 31 touting Jessica's declaration that she was in love eventually turning into an Us Weekly cover pronouncing the singer "Dumped!"

Which must have come as a surprise to Simpson, considering she went on The View this week and announced, "I am actually not dating John Mayer." (Isn't it hard enough getting dumped by the people you actually are going out with?)

A source close to the hullabaloo told Radar magazine that the overblown story was "100 percent Shuter. He broke all the rules of the game. He's a pathological liar. I wonder how much Jessica even knew what he was up to."

While the People story didn't feature Joe actually confirming that there was a love connection between Simpson and Mayer, he did tell the magazine, "I love John Mayer…If my daughter's happy, then I'm happy. And if she's in love, then I'm in love with the fact that she finds happiness. It's been a tough year for her."

Both People and Us Weekly, which also reported on the supposed hook-up last week, have stood by their reporting.

Meanwhile, Mayer's camp is turning this into a Simpson-only affair. A "friend" of the Heavier Things singer said in Us' Sept. 18 issue that Mayer is distancing himself from his brief fling and "now he will stay away from her…He thinks it's desperate. An attempt for her to stay in the spotlight."

Katie Holmes' quote of the day

"Those stories eat away at me because it's just not okay. Some of the crap that's out there - the stuff that's said about my parents and my - it's really frustrating the amount of shit that's out there. And the stuff they say about Suri? You shouldn't say that about us, and you can't say that about my child."

Holmes also reveals that she and Tom had a doll 'decoy' that looked like Suri made to throw off the media. But then TomKat plasters Suri's face all over Vanity Fair's cover. Um, okay.

The rundown of Hilton's many woes...

The most recent incident with Paris Hilton has of course been her arrest for DUI. But get a load of all the other crap she's done lately, courtesy of YahooNews:

In February, a Superior Court judge ordered Hilton to stay away from event producer Brian Quintana after he claimed she shoved him on at least three occasions and badmouthed him.
A month earlier, actress and diamond heiress Zeta Graff filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against Hilton claiming that Hilton spewed "vicious lies" to the New York Post about an altercation the two had in a London nightclub.
In November, Hilton was a passenger in a silver Bentley that a companion drove into the back of a large commercial truck, scratching the hood of the car. The mishap was captured on videotape. Cameras were also rolling when Hilton's Range Rover backed into a car in a parking garage in June.
Hilton was just a pretty party girl and everyday heiress until a sex-tape she made with an ex-boyfriend surfaced in late 2003. That made her a cyberspace novelty and instant tabloid favorite. Hilton's reality TV series "The Simple Life" debuted shortly afterward.

Affleck says Bennifer split was good

Digital Spy: Ben Affleck has revealed his split from Jennifer Lopez boosted his career.

The actor admitted he made some bad decisions during his relationship with the singer, and didn't choose his movies for the right reasons.

He told the Daily Record: "I did popcorn stuff. But I didn't realise that there are good popcorn movies and bad popcorn movies. Ultimately, I found myself with the horrible feeling of being trapped inside this tabloid situation where my personal life was all out there."

When he split from Lopez, he reveals he reassessed his career, and made a conscious decision: "I kind of made a decision to just do the kind of movies I want and that I could be proud of being in, and not work for money or work to be famous or for any of that stuff."

Madonna's nude, erotic dance for Al Pacino

According to TheBosh, Madge performed for Pacino after meeting him on the set of 'Dick Tracy'. In his authorized biography, Pacino says,

"It's private information. She was doing a dance and she was naked under her coat. Over the course of the dance, she became inspired and opened her coat, and there she was. She has an extraordinarily beautiful body, like it has been cut out of ivory. One day when I'm old, and I'm wheeled out on the porch wrapped in a blanket, if I have a beatific smile on my face, I'll probably be thinking of that."

It should also be noted that during this time, Madonna's lover in real-life was another 'Dick Tracy' actor- Warren Beatty. Oh, Madonna, you little minx!

Paris gets pranked

BBC: Hundreds of Paris Hilton albums have been tampered with in the latest stunt by "guerrilla artist" Banksy.

Banksy has replaced Hilton's CD with his own remixes and given them titles such as Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?

He has also changed pictures of her on the CD sleeve to show the US socialite topless and with a dog's head.

A spokeswoman for Banksy said he had doctored 500 copies of her debut album Paris in 48 record shops across the UK.

She told the BBC News website: "He switched the CDs in store, so he took the old ones out and put his version in."

But he left the original barcode so people could buy the CD without realising it had been interfered with.

Banksy is notorious for his secretive and subversive stunts such as sneaking doctored versions of classic paintings into major art galleries.

Angelina with child again?

Angelina Jolie has hinted to pals she may already be pregnant again to Brad Pitt, and insiders are wondering if this child will save the couple's often tumultuous relationship or end it once and for all reports NW Magazine. Speculation about Angelina Jolie's pregnancy has been growing for weeks. Although the actress lost her baby weight quickly after giving birth to daughter Shiloh in late May, recently she's begun to look heavier around the tummy again.

"Angelina Looks Pregnant Again!" reads In Touch Weekly's latest headline. According to the Daily News, the editors at In Touch are basing their story on one photo of Ms. Jolie with a "telltale bump," reports Just Jared One source claims: "Angie has been looking extremely big around the mid section. She lost a ton of weight after Shiloh was born, and now she seems to have gained it back plus some. Pals are buzzing the reason for the expanded waistline is she's carrying another baby."

Brad Pitt's rep was amused by the latest cover story: "It's so stupid. That magazine is a joke."

Earlier this week, gossips reported that Angelina Jolie was boozing it up at Maddox's birthday party.

The photo that started the speculation however, seems to be an old one from March when she was pregnant with Shiloh, according to JustJared. Hmm...

Arbitrary Apologies

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to all of you for not posting nearly as often as I normally would. Because people are completely irresponsible, I am stuck working 13 hour days at work until I can find some responsible people to hire. Therefore, I cannot post as often as we both would like. I will be posting on Sundays, so you can catch up on all your celebrities and their antics first thing Monday morning! Hopefully within the next month, The Arbitrary's postings will be back to normal!

Jessica Simpson and John Mayer

I happen to know someone who has spent a day with Mayer. A former co-worker of mine spent the day with Mayer, along with her dance team, a few years back. She said he was arrogant, totally full of himself, and quite the tramp. Now, Miss Simpson is dating him! Aggh! I don't think she's moving a step in the right direction. Click here for all the photos.
