You have to watch this video. It shows
Tom Cruise, with all the wide-eyed fervor that he
brings to the promotion of a movie, making the argument for Scientology, the bizarre 20th-century religion . Making the argument is an understatement. The ...
Andrew Morton wrote in his best-selling biography of
Tom Cruise that the Hollywood star was prominent in
the hierarchy of the Church of Scientology. Of all of the celebrity author's claims, it was the one that most enraged the sect: " Insinuations ...
The Church of Scientology, and Tom Cruise, the
organization's most prominent evangelist, are both notoriously litigious. The
sect's founder, science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, wrote in a 1955 magazine article, "The purpose of a lawsuit is to ...
From Gawker.com....Since "Young American Bodies" has the same
theme as every other "serious" web show, I figured
this series about several young people's romance and sex lives would be trash, only this time with some naked shots. But it turns out the show on IFC.com (which originally ran on Nerve.com) is good honest filmmaking. Posts the second episode of third season here too.

Former New York "It" boy and Paper magazine
blogger Fabian Basabe writes on his blog today that
the supermodel turned TV personality, um, soiled herself at Fashion Week. Basabe was filming an interview in the W suite at the tents, and suddenly a ...
An email tipster forwards the following Scientology indoctrination
message, purportedly from TV star Leah Remini. It reads,
"You may know me from 'King of Queens,' but what is more important is that I am now OT V and at one point I was a very ...
Our favorite cocaine-dappled redhead, actress Lindsay Lohan ,
has a Facebook profile! But it's undercover... She goes
by the name "Lindsay Ronson," using the last name of her friend ( girlfriend perhaps?? ), DJ Samantha Ronson . She's friends with ...
Andrew Morton's biography of Tom Cruise, though it's
brought threats of a $100m lawsuit, has emboldened other
critics of the increasingly rabid Hollywood star. Mark Ebner, the investigative reporter, just emailed us links to some Scientology ...
Yesterday the staff at TMZ, Harvey Levin 's
AOL Time Warner-owned gossip site, tossed themselves over a
line that I don't think even Perez Hilton would dare approach. They made fun of someone's dead mother. In a piece posted yesterday afternoon they ...

More than ever, that's the answer. Time Inc's
People Magazine has secured the first pictures of Nicole
Richie's baby, Harlow. The winning bid: $1m, according to someone who participated in the auction. Which is a useful sum for the anorexic former ...
Yesterday's ten minutes of Tom Cruise madness? Tip
of the proverbial iceberg, SPs. The entire hour-long video,
as the boss pointed out , has been passing between journos and Scientology critics for a while now. And someone sent us the whole ...
It's already been an exciting week for accidental
on-air cursing, with New York broadcast institution Sue Simmons
interrupting last night's Medium to ask what the FUCK New York is doing, but Sue and Bill O'Reilly just left us wanting more. So video ...
Hey, remember that wannabe i-banker douchebag Alexsey Vayner
and his insanely braggy resume video? Do you recall
Eric Schaeffer, the failed writer/director who hates women and blogs about how he...

No question, the Sex And The City movie
premiere at Radio City Music Hall is going swimmingly
for some people. Fameball Julia Allison and her buddies Mary Rambin and Megan Asha, for example, got inside the hall and snapped photos like the one at ...
Some people think that the worst thing about
social networking site Facebook is that its employees are
spying on you and making fun of you and then threatening to delete your profile when you call them out on it! Others—well, one dorky WSJ ...

WE HEAR: that while taping the upcoming season
of Celebrity Fit Club, megalomaniacal blogger Perez Hilton pooped
himself on a treadmill.
Early in the evening of the day I
became Facebook friends with James Frey, Choire and I
found ourselves standing on Chrystie Street, unloading boxes of n+1 's Winter 2008 issue ("Mainstream") from a very large Budget rental truck. We did this in a ...

There's a technique called "grooming" that pedophiles use
on their victims (yes, we just learned about it
today, thank you). One definition says "Grooming behavior is intended to make the victim or potential victim or victim's guardians feel ...
Annie Leibovitz : come off it. Really now.
As dirty as the media business is—and particularly the
celebrity media business, which Vanity Fair revels in under a sheen of high class pretension—there are some bare, bottom-level standards ...
This morning we had a blind item that
we thought was pretty darn obvious: "Which divorced comic
superstar is exploring a groovy new real-life persona: that of an openly gay man?" The whole "comic superstar" and "groovy" bits were just such obvious ...
