“I was just saying about birth control, because I got very scared about it the other day and I felt like God was telling me that this was something just created by the government that is really bad for my body and I was just getting sick.... I researched it, and one of the founding people who invented birth control said it was the worst thing they had ever done, they wished they’d never created it, how it morally corrupted society, it’s just sickening to him.... How it devalues women, how it causes depression, how it can cause cancer, how it sterilizes your body, and what it does to your body, how most women are suicidal sometimes on it, and in fact, in order to even stabilize the population right now, each woman would have to have three children.... The population is decreasing so much that population control is just a myth.”
-- Heidi Montag, taking time away from her job as a Twitter evangelist, addressing the subject of birth control on “The Alex Jones Show,” a conservative radio talk show. [The Hollywood Gossip]
Can’t make it to Sunday church services? No worries! Just follow Heidi Montag Pratt on Twitter. The girl’s tweets are consistently of the Biblical variety and I’m pretty sure Jesus personally sanctioned the upcoming Playboy cover girl to be his personal web apostle. Some of her most thunderously preachy tweets, after the jump…
Fans of “I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here” didn’t get the opportunity to control Heidi and Spencer Pratt’s destiny. But E! viewers did. More than 94 percent of the network’s audience voted to expel the fame-whoring couple from E! altogether. Seriously. Don’t even expect E! to discuss their takeover of the “I’m a Celebrity” reunion special Wednesday—unless—there’s some real news, like that she’s pregnant, he falls off a cliff, or her album makes it to No. 1. Well, none of those events seem likely. [E! Online]
Oh, but there are so many other annoying personalities we wish we could vote off TV, the internet, and tabloids. Here’s who we’d get rid of without a second thought.
A sex tape starring Leighton Meester is being shopped to the highest bidder, and apparently she’s very good at foot jobs. [Dlisted]—So now a sex tape seems to be a rite of passage for young starlets.
Ashley Greene and Adrian Grenier are officially dating. [Perez Hilton]—And he knows to leave his “Entourage” at home.
A rep for LeAnn Rimes says she isn’t ready for a divorce, despite rumors that her husband, Dean Sheremet, was “distraught and heartbroken” because she told him she was ready to take a break. [E! Online]—Why get a divorce when you can have your piece on the side and your husband won’t do anything about it?
Al Roker has been accused of attacking Heidi and Spencer Pratt on “The Today Show” on Monday, as the newlyweds discussed their one-week stint on “I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here.” [Today]—Seems to us that Roker was just doing his job.
Oh dear. Here’s a list of “10 Things Your Dad Inadvertently Taught You About Sex.” [Em & Lo]—Cringe.
Katie Holmes has reportedly met with “So You Think You Can Dance” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe more than once. Reps for the show haven’t confirmed that Holmes will take center stage on the show, but there have been rumors that she may! [People]
Remember Mel Gibson’s pregnant girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva? Maybe not, but you will now since the Russian baby-mama has signed onto her beau’s record label, Icon Records, and released her first single “Say My Name” off her debut album Beautiful Heartbreak. The actual music of the song isn’t bad, being Grigorieva is a classically trained pianist, but the lyrics (co-written by Gibson) are sappy central. The singer describes the song as “naked, intimate, raw emotion, little more than piano and voice as if it is a cry from the soul.” Actually, at one point it does sound like people screeching in the background as Grigorieva sings about birds, kings, and walking down a road. Hopefully her other songs will be better sans Mel’s help?

Usher proved the rumor mill right when he filed for divorce from Tameka Foster, his wife of nearly two years. [E! Online]—The only one who might be surprised about this is Tameka. Hey, I never stopped calling her by her maiden name, anyway.
Karl Lagerfeld is swinging insults at Heidi Klum again, but this time he attacks her husband too, saying he wouldn’t want Seal’s skin, which was damaged from a form of lupus. [The Sun]—Sounds like Karl is jealous to me.
For the second night in a row, Paris Hilton spent the night with some guy named Cristiano Ronaldo. [Dlisted]
Whether she’s marrying the despicable Spencer Pratt on “The Hills,” crying in the middle of the Costa Rican rainforest on “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here” or, you know, just existing, Heidi Montag sure knows how to get attention. In her next endeavor, she’ll be appearing in the September issue of Playboy. Like every other description of a spread in Playboy, a source told People that the photos are nude, but “tasteful.” In all honesty, if the photos appear to be anywhere near as awkward as her video for “Higher,” the alleged half million dollars Playboy is spending on this shoot will be totally worth it. Also, is this what Heidi meant when she said she wanted to be the next Mother Teresa? [People]
A $121,000 lawsuit filed by R&B singer Brandy Norwood’s mother against Kim Kardashian has been dismissed. [People] – Norwood claimed that Kim had used Brandy’s credit card for unauthorized purchases, but considering that Kim’s a millionaire, that seems kind of unlikely.
PopEater journalists tried out Lindsay Lohan’s tanning spray, to see if the horrid orange color that LiLo often sports would look better on their own skin. [PopEater]—The verdict, as expected, was that it didn’t.
“I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here” producers are trying desperately to get Spencer and Heidi back to the jungle. [Life and Style]—Rumor has it that Heidi’s sister, Holly, will be making an appearance as well.
Jamie Lynn Spears gives us the finger, and parties it up. [TMZ]—We’re glad the girl is finally acting her age, but we’re a little scared about what’s in the cup.
Miley Cyrus and Justin Gaston have reportedly split up. [Us Magazine] —He was too cute for her, anyway.
Courtney Love seems to have recovered from her mid-life crisis, and is on to bigger and better things…like starting her own fashion line. [Refinery 29] —I have to admit, I’m more scared than excited.
They quit, they didn’t quit, they quit, they didn’t quit… That was all I heard last week about Heidi and Spencer’s bout on “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.” Well this week’s first episode finally brought closure—they’re gone for real after Heidi got some kind of stomach bug and vomited like 15 times in 24 hours. With them gone, will anyone watch the show? Heidi’s sister Holly will be replacing them, but please, she’s about as interesting as paint thinner. [Or Lauren Conrad—zing!—Editor] [MTV]
Now that the gruesome twosome is dunzo, let’s take a look back at other reality television favorites who left their shows in a dramatic clap of thunder.
Heidi and Spencer’s Costa Rican experience has certainly not been the pampered one they’re used to, but it doesn’t constitute “torture,” either. [TMZ]—Just check out their sweet digs above.
Tila Tequila wrote on her MySpace account that she is angry about false pregnancy reports…even though she was the one who allegedly started them. She then said, “Maybe I was pregnant, or maybe I wasn’t pregnant.” [People] – Is anyone else as confused as I am?
Mariah’s latest movie, “Tennessee,” hit an all-time low, averaging just five viewers per showing. [Perez]—Stop making movies, Mariah. Isn’t having a five-octave vocal range enough?
Did the producers of “I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here” torture Heidi Pratt to the point that she developed a gastric ulcer? Or are the producers in on the latest Speidi plot for attention? [Perez Hilton]—I’m inclined to go with the latter because ratings are most important and this show would tank without Heidi and her handler.
George Clooney has reportedly asked waitress girlfriend Lucy Wolvert to move in with him. [Dlisted]
All of the Gosselin kids have returned home to be with their father after vacationing. Kate Gosselin was nowhere to be seen. [Us Magazine]
Most girls want to be just like their big sisters, right? Well, that can be hard when your big sis is big time. Miley Cyrus’ little sister, Noah, is only nine, but she’s already showing signs of becoming a mini-Miley. Exhibit A: her YouTube series “Noie and Em.” Exhibit B: the fact that she goes by Noie, which sounds an awful lot like Miley. Exhibit C: the other day, Noie was photographed on the red carpet wearing a pink Juicy Couture dress, way too much mascara, and pounding a Red Bull. Supposedly, Noie has her sights set on Disney, like someone we know. “I love my sister Miley,” she said. “When I grow up I want to be just like her.” Right, because Miley is so grown up herself.
After the jump, an ode to the little sisters of Hollywood.
Jamie Kennedy better watch out. Girlfriend Jennifer Love Hewitt recently told Jamie—oh, and every listener in the LA area tuned into the “JohnJay and Rich” show—that if Jamie doesn’t propose to her by this time next year, there will be “a situation.” Ironically, the couple was on the radio show to deny engagement rumors. So I guess we’ll see how that turns out. [Celebitchy]
I’ve never been a fan of woman who pester their guys about puttin’ a ring on it. And for some reason, it seems like an awful lot of celebrities are doing this publicly, which just seems wrong. Click on for the hall of shame.
A source confirms that Kate Hudson and A-Rod are dating, and he’s introduced her to a bunch of his friends. [People]—Is it really possible for Kate to be completely done with Owen Wilson?
Christie Brinkley has vowed never to marry again. It’s been a year since her messy divorce from Peter Cook. [Perez Hilton]
Eddie Cibrian’s wife Brandi Glanville says LeAnn Rimes is obsessed with her husband. [Dlisted]—This little love affair/publicity stunt is so boring.
Um, did you guys see “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here” last night? If not, I’m really sorry because it was, in a word, amazing. Sanjaya from “American Idol” got chased by bees. Frangela, the hilarious duo from “Best Week Ever” who’ve been absent from my life for months now, are cast members. Also completely preposterous, the presence of Rod Blagojevich’s wife and Janice Dickinson. I hope they’ll be besties by the end of the season.
But the real story is, of course, Heidi and Spencer. Heidi cried a lot. And after finding out that, at some point, they’d have to take turns emptying the group’s PortaPotty, Spencer stormed off and gave us this sparkling gem:
“I’m too rich and I’m too famous to be sitting with these people and cleaning up their s**t in the jungle, my man. And this cast is devaluing our fame right now. I’m sitting next to VH1 comedians that I have never even seen before… I thought it was gonna be all celebrities.”
Tila Tequila tweeted some rather shocking news last week. No, she hasn’t finally found someone to settle down with. The big revelation is that Tila is pregnant. She deleted the Twitter post soon after posting it, and although she didn’t divulge the identity of the father, she had this strong warning for him: “You should at least step up to the plate or I’m gonna have to put you on blast in the media…and I’M SURE that’s not what you want do you?”
Tila has recently been linked to both Ray J and Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame. We’re not only shocked that someone would have unprotected sex with Tila, but that she’d be into this whole motherhood thing. Here are some celebrities who shocked us just as much when they started showing.
Kimora Lee Simmons gave birth to her son with partner Djimon Hounsou on Saturday. [E! Online]—Only Kimora could look that glamorous while in labor.
Finally, confirmation that Jennifer Hudson is pregnant. Her friends through her a baby shower in Chicago over the weekend, but she hasn’t shared a due date with them yet. [Perez Hilton]
