Does celebrity gossip make your world go round? Then look no further than The Frisky, where can't-miss celeb photos and celebrity news are always on tap.
This is Roman Polanski and his late wife, Sharon Tate, shortly before she was murdered by the Manson Family in 1969. The photograph, shot by photographer David Bailey, is going up for auction at Christie’s on Dec. 7 and is expected to fetch at least $10,000. How cool would it be if whoever is selling the image—Bailey, I assume—and the auction house donated the profits to a rape crisis center? Not likely, though, I suppose.
With over-the-top resorts, year-round sunshine, killer shopping, picturesque beaches, and the world’s tallest building, Dubai quickly became the celebrity destination of choice. Not only were the Beckhams and Jolie-Pitts falling all over themselves to jet-set to the Persian Gulf—many were even investing in real estate there. Well, until the government went public with their $80-million worth of financial woes. Now that Dubai is donezo, where will the celebrities go to hide away from the unwashed masses? Morocco. Just this past weekend, a bunch of A-listers jetted to Marrakesh to celebrate the opening of a Chopard boutique at the La Mamounia Hotel. Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Orlando Bloom, Salma Hayek, Miranda Kerr, and Juliette Binoche were just a few of the guests in attendance. Could this signify a renaissance of the ‘60s bohemian hot spot? [Celebitchy]
After the jump, some “now” destinations where celebrities will be heading in 2010.
A year ago, 21-year-old Jesus Pinto na Luz (that’s his full name) was a sizzling Brazilian fashion model, pulling in $500 a day, and assigned to a high-profile photo shoot for W magazine with a very famous co-star. Jesus played the uber-sophisticated lover of his fellow Rio hotel patron, Madonna, who saw something special in the young hunk. His agent said that he sent Jesus to the shoot and hasn’t seen him since.
Today, Jesus is a sizzling hot, blindingly expensive fashion model and new D.J., with an asking price in the tens of thousands of dollars—thanks to an unspoken chance that girlfriend Madonna might accompany Jesus along to any of his assignments. It’s a gamble that many seem willing to take, and so the public is quickly getting to know a lot more than we thought we would want to know about Jesus Luz. Like ...
Uh oh. It just became an even worse week to be named “Tiger Woods.” A 24-year-old L.A. cocktail waitress named Jaimee Grubbs, who appeared on trashy VH1 dating show “Tool Academy,” claims she has also boinked the very married golf pro. According to a story on UsMagazine.com, Grubbs claims she and Woods had a two-and-a-half year-long relationship and engaged in 20 sexual encounters. Grubbs also claims to possess 300 text messages from Woods and a condemning voicemail in which Woods says his wife, Elin Nordegren, has discovered their affair. Eeek! But once again: take these rumors with a grain of salt, innocent until proven guilty, fame-hungry bitches, etc., etc. Still, we’ve got to say, it would seem that between Grubbs and Rachel Uchitel, the woman whom The National Enquirer accused of being “the other woman,” Tiger has a thing for party girls, doesn’t he?

Given the recent he-said-she-said hodgepodge coming from a certain TV couple with lots and lots of kids, “Oh, the drama!” has pretty much now been replaced with “Oh, the Gosselins!” Simply par for the course when it comes to celebrity and 15-Minutes-of-Famer breakups. Celebrity splits have held our universe’s attention for decades, and this decade may be the champion of them all. Sure, some breakups over the years are oddly cordial (Bruce Willis and Demi Moore), while others are syrupy sweet (Will and Sheree Smith). But most have some serious bite to them that brings out the worst in those involved. Here’s a look at some of the worst celeb breakups we’ve ever seen. And we’ve seen a lot. Read more ...
“They are attracted by the message I bring, I’m not about supermodel beauty, but more about natural beauty. The girls with black hair and pale skin, who don’t look fantastic in a bikini, can see in me someone that supports them in their quest for a more alternative sensuality ... You can play dressing up with elegance or make a striptease for your significant other. The essence of burlesque is about dressing up properly, enjoying glamour, and taking more time for yourself.”
—Dita Von Teese, on her female fans and the appeal of burlesque, in a translated interview with Venezuelan magazine Estampas [ONTD]
And we are. Obsessed, I mean. The bitch behind fashion PR company People’s Revolution—and Whitney’s fake-boss on “The City”—was in the news today. Twice! First Kelly appeared on a Fox News morning show and dropped the F-bomb when discussing that rich, lazy snatch, Olivia Palermo. You can watch the vid here, but this is the exact quote.
“I like Olivia as a person, I really do. I’ve known her for a really long time and I know her family. I think that her work ethic is way too elevated and way too lofty ... I mean that when you’re in your ‘20s and you are in a prestigious place like Elle magazine, and someone like Erin is trying to help you, you better leave your f**king attitude at the door, right?”
I wonder how many gray hairs Rupert Murdoch sprouted over that one?
This is just one example of how awesomely unscripted Kelly is, which is why we’re super psyched about her upcoming reality show, “Kell On Earth.” That’s where the second bit of news comes in—Bravo has finally announced that the show will make it’s debut on Feb. 1, 2010. Mark your calendars! Check out an interview with Kelly, above, discussing the show. [BravoTV]
Newlyweds Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have finally hammered out their prenuptial agreement. Wait, doesn’t that make it post-nuptial? Anyway. It’s pretty modest compared to many Hollywood couples—Khloe asked for $500,000 for each year they’re married, $25K a month in support, the house, a new car at the end of every lease cycle, $5K a month for shopping, $1K a month for beauty care, and season courtside Lakers tickets for her whole family. Wait, what? Who wants to watch her ex-husband play every game after un-tying the knot? [NY Daily News]
It seems like celebrities are masters of manipulating prenuptial agreements to cater to their lifestyle. Here are a few of the weirdest stipulations.
Even if you don’t give two figs about the Brad Pitt/Jennifer Aniston/Angelina Jolie triangulated love mess, we’re sure you’ll find a recent excerpt of the forthcoming book Brangelina dishy. Brad is a pothead! Jen had two miscarriages! Angelina has a horrible temper! And that’s not all ...
