What Do You Know?

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while since I last posted, and I'm sorry. I do want to let you know that I took a little while to figure out what else to do with this here blog. I love writing for you guys and, pop culture is my life so I can't NOT write about it. However, I have felt lately as if I was a little blah when trying to think of things to write about. Fresh, interesting celebrity news is hard to come by and I get bored of writing about Paris/Lindsay/Jessica all the time.

I wanted to breathe a little life into my pet project and infuse some variety into it. So, what's a girl to do? A cool girl like me hires her BFF, the lovely-intelligent-witty-awesomest-beautiful Valerie Landquist to be her co-conspirator in all things blog. I hope that you guys will welcome Val and enjoy her musings. She is an amazing writer and an even better friend. So, hopefully, she's here to stay. Now that I have school fulltime, it is hard for me to update as often as I want to, and Val can pick up a little of my slack.

We are working together to try to make the site as cool as possible and interject more of our own interests in the hopes of persuading more people to be just as incredible as we are...ok that last part was a joke. Moving on, there will be some changes coming to What Do You Know?. I would never dare take away the celebrity goss factor, but we will be including more news on all of pop-culture and life in general. So you can expect our take on new music, TV shows, movies, mags, fashion, and more. Sky's the limit. Please be patient with us as we try to find our groove and as usual COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME!!! So, send them, send them, send them!! You know how to e-mail me. The site will also be getting a makeover, slowly but surely. We are a little on the novice side when it comes to Blogger, but we are trying our best.

So to all of you that keep checking back for updates and my faithfuls, big hugs and thanks!! Please keep comin back...oh, and bring a friend, would ya???

This is way too much Paris coverage, even for me, but I had to post this. Miss Hilton was out and opened her purse for whatever reason and guess what photogs saw? Some old-fashioned smelly pot. Yes, folks, Paris is a toker. Sure it was common knowledge that Paris likes to get high (and that's ok, I'm not the cops), but who knew she had a big old bag of the MJ in her designer purse? Well, now I'm wondering if she's high everytime she acts like an effing twit. I do find this story quite whimsical, I must say.

Guess who's back together? Eh, who cares. Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie went out to dinner at Dan Tana's in LA sparking the rumor mill yet again. Are they friends? Was it a business dinner? Blah, blah, blah. The two say that they are very happy to be friends again. Paris even said something about how she missed Nicole and they're like sisters and other BS. Nicole didn't say sheeeit. The only juicy part of this made-for-paparazzi story is that execs over at The Simple Life are saying that the only reason the girls are talking is because they are being forced to film together in the new season of their show. Paris' PR rep spun the story and said that the girls became close again because they were forced to. Right...and Kate Moss can pass a drug test with flying colors. Picture of the pair at Dan Tana's above and the morning after at Paris' casa below.

Interesting shuffles going on, ladies and gents. Where do I start? Ok, Nicole, you first!


Nicole Richie and boy toy of the moment (and Kristin Cavallari's ex) Brody Jenner have split up. Sources say that the cause of the breakup is due to Brody getting cozy with...you'll never guess...none other than Laguna Beach/The Hills star, Lauren Conrad. By the way, I must remind you that Lauren is Kristin Cav's nemesis. Innnnteresting, huh?


Anyway, it turns out that Brody's pal is dating The Hills' Heidi Montag and since her and LC are BFFs, LC and Brody have been around each other quite a lot. Another factor for the breakup was the fact that Lauren and Heidi have cameras around them all the time and reportedly, Nicole didn't want her boyfriend around that. Hmmm...who knows what the real reason was? In my opinion, they were never going out. I think that Nicole just used him as a photo op. Have you ever noticed that all the pictures with both of them are in or around restaurants? I have and that's all I'm gonna say about that.


Tun, tun, tun...the Jessica Simpson/Dane Cook rumors just won't stop swirling. I wish they would. Both have denied the relationship, however (there's always a however) the two were seen making out at a bar in NYC sometime around the premiere of Employee of the Month. Jessica was out on the talk show circuit this week and claimed that her and Dane have "great chemistry onscreen and off", but that they weren't dating. Stay tuned for further developments on this one, but for now, I cannot type anything else, because I refuse to believe that Dane would touch that weirdo. I love you, Dane!! Run for your life!


In cute couple possible breakup news, who doesn't love The O.C.'s Summer and Seth? I think they're so obnoxiously cute. What's cuter you ask? The actors who play them and their solid relationship...or so we thought. Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody are the newest victims of the Hollywood Couples Roulette. They are finding themselves fighting off the rumors that started when Rachel got "close" to The Last Kiss costar, the always adorable Zach Braff. The two became very good friends and have been spotted out together, but never kissing or any PDA of any sort. Reports have surfaced that Adam is pissed off about their friendship and that the two are going through a "rocky patch". Boo. As much as I heart me some Zach Braff (Scrubs, anyone?), I love my Seth and Summer, in real life and fake life. Good luck to them.

Ok, so my back hurt for a lot longer than I thought it would, but I'm here now. Lots of news to Hope you missed me. Let's get started!


This stuff is kinda old, but I had the pictures all laid out so I must post. For a long time, I have resolved to not cover the whole TomKat phenomenon or the unholy Posh/Becks union for fear of becoming too cliched. However, I cover Paris/Lindsay/Jessica almost always so too late for that. I saw these pictures splattered all over the Web the other day and I realized that I must post them. I had to warn the world of the imminent doom that is sure to come from the new BFF's on the block. Trent from Pinkisthenewblog.com calls them The Fembots and I could not have thought of a more fitting name. The Fembots are of course, Katie Holmes and Victoria "Posh" Beckham. These two have been seen roaming all over Europe for various Fashion Weeks. I don't really know why or how these two became friends and I don't really care too much about them, but I have to admit, these pictures are downright creepy!!! You must check them out. But don't say I didn't warn you...save yourselves!




Other old pictures include these awesome displays of Jessica Simpson's ugliness. I know, I know, I probably sound like a broken record, but I do find a little bit of comfort in the fact that the general public is finally seeing the uselessness in Jessica that I once saw so long ago. Let's not even get started on the Jessica/Dane story. That's for later. Here she is at the premiere of her big, huge flop of a movie Employee of the Month. Earth to Jessica!! Janet Jackson wants her outfit back.

I'm suffering from a little bit of sciatic nerve pain and quite honestly, I feel like I'm 82 years old. I am suddenly incapable of sitting upright and I'm just resting up so I can pick up where I left off. So unfortunately, those posts will have to wait a couple hours. I'm sorry everyone, and so is my back. It really sucks. Chase and I were gonna go see The Departed tonight, but my back's pooped and he has a little bit of a stomach bug. Have an awesome weekend everyone, and keep checking back for those posts.

Everyday I get online, I go through my Internet bookmarks and look for news to post. This is if I don't get stuck on Myspace or Facebook first. Anyway, today was a day for a large quantity of weird news and pictures. I've got posts on the Posh/Katie friendship and Jessica's newfound ugliness coming up, but first I wanted to show you some pictures that say it all.


Ok, I don't really know what to write about this picture. I could make some cracks on Lil' Kim's face turning into a Michael Jackson-like creation. I can also say something about John Kerry's choice of friends after the election...or you can just look at the picture and wonder...Why? How? The world may never know.


You all know that I absolutely adore Scarlett Johansson. I am always impressed by her choice to stay away from the mainstream. However, as hot as ScarJo looks in this picture from Flaunt magazine, I am a little puzzled as far as the goal of this picture. She is hot though. Btw, the other girl is Marilyn Manson's wife, Dita von Teese.


As if her life wasn't dramatic enough, Anna Nicole and lawyer and newfound babydaddy, Howard K. Stern, got married in the Bahamas this week. I find the whole thing suspicious, especially since her ex, Larry Birkhead, filed court papers this week demanding a paternity test and accusing Anna of fleeing the U.S. because she is addicted to methadone and might've passed it on to baby Dannilynne. If this story couldn't get any creepier, methadone was one of the drugs found in the late Daniel's body. Hmmm... They sold this pictures to People for $1 million.


First it was Willie Nelson getting caught with weed and shrooms, which I must say wasn't shocking to me. Well, now we have Mr. Margaritaville himself, Jimmy Buffett, getting caught with over one hundred Ecstasy pills. Now, that one was surprising.

So there you have it. Now stay tuned for couples news, TV news, and the aforementioned news on Posh/Katie and Jessica.

I posted a while back that Paris Hilton and Travis Barker were seeing each other and spreading her skank all over the place. Well, today's rumors included a muy interesante headline about P and Travis' ex, Shanna Moakler, getting into a catfight at LA club, Hyde. I did a little investigating and found that this was indeed true.


Last night, Shanna and Paris got into it verbally, and the situation escalated until Shanna punched Paris in the face. Someone please give Shanna a medal. Pretty please?? Anyway, no words on whether Paris fought back. I highly doubt it. Everyone knows Paris' skill set does not include that kind of coordination. Remember when she got into it with Shannen Doherty and Shannen beat her ass? I do. Paris ain't shit, everyone knows. I mean really, what is she gonna do? Swing her beef curtains at you? Well, actually, that would be kinda scary. Ok, I'm rambling again.

After the incident, Paris and her publicist, Elliot Mintz, went down to the police station to file assault charges toward Shanna. Shanna, on the other hand, had charges to file on her own. She's alleging that Paris' companion for the evening, her ex Stavros Niarchos, poured a drink on her sometime during the fight. Here's pictures of Paris and Elliot after the incident, Shanna outside the club and Paris and Elliot at the police station.




I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be very upset if Shanna had actually caused some damage to Paris' bird face. I would say that it was about damn time. This Hollywood shit gets crazier every day. Remember when I first reported about the Travis/Shanna split and I told you guys that I would report any new developments? Well, I never would've thought that this is what I would be reporting. In Nicole Richie's immortal words, LOVES IT!!!
P.S. Check out Paris' bruises.

Jessica Simpson continues her mission to become the next has-been by popping up all over the place looking...well, haggard, to say the least. Supposedly Jess is all depressed because her album A Public Affair flopped. Bloggers are hating on her for gaining weight. I won't go there, that's not fair. However, homegirl is looking OWNED! Here are pictures of Jess at some event desperately in the need of eyeliner, a hair brush, a tan, and the list goes on. Enjoy the de-hot-ification of Jessica Simpson. It's about time.



P.S. Isn't it sad that as Jess's star falls, Ashlee's is rising. Girl's getting rave reviews as Roxie Hart in a London production of Chicago and she's looking amazing. Who knew?

Season 3 of LOST premieres tonight, people! Don't miss it! It's on like Donkey Kong...ok, that was cheesy... 9pm on ABC. Click to enlarge that picture because Sawyer and Jack look absolutely yummy. Can't wait! Without giving too much away, I can tell you that the premiere is a Jack episode (meaning Jack flashbacks), and that this season is supposed to be more about The Others and what they've been up to. The actor who plays Henry Gale is now a series regular...you know what that means? He'll be sticking around for a long time. Also, with the hatch destroyed, where are the Losties gonna hang out? Who's gonna be the first one to bite the proverbial dust this season? Answers to these questions and more, tonight!! Be there or be...never mind.

P.S. This is my 100th post!! Woo-hoo! Thanks to all of you that keep on reading my mindless banter. Oh, geez...does this mean now I have to make it to 200?

Laguna Beach's favorite asshole, Jason Wahler has been arrested again. Two times in a month? J.Wahl, are you going for a record? LOL...anyway, LAPD arrested him at 5:30 PM on Friday night. He was charged with misdemeanor battery and his bail was set for $20,000. According to police reports, Jason and some girl got into it with an officer over a tow truck incident...something like that. Anyway, it all ended in him and the girl, Kristen DeLuca, getting arrested for battery.

Three weeks ago, Jason was arrested in NYC. He was standing in the middle of the street causing a "public disturbance" and when police accosted him, he resisted. NYPD searched him and found cocaine in his pocket. He then refused to be handcuffed and tried to bribe the cops into letting him go. Jason was charged with disorderly conduct, possession of a controlled substance, resisting arrest, and bribery.

Looks like J. Wahl will be someone's bitch at the ripe, old age of 19. Somewhere Lauren Conrad is thanking God that she let this asshole loose.

Daniel Smith's toxicology test results are in. The 20 year old died of a lethal combination of methadone, Lexapro, and Zoloft. The three drugs mixed in his system and caused a heart attack. About a month before he died, Daniel was hospitalized for a week because he was suffering with depression and back pain. He will be buried in California in the near future.


In other Anna Nicole news, her lawyer Howard K. Stern admitted on Larry King Live last night that he is, in fact, Anna's baby's father. He admitted that he and Anna have been involved for quite some time now and that they will be married eventually. However, Anna's former boyfriend, Larry Birkhead is refusing the claims that Howard's the dad and says he will resolve this matter. A couple other tidbits he revealed:

about Anna: "We love each other and it's been going on for a very long time and because of my relationship as her lawyer, we felt it was best to keep everything hidden. And we've done a pretty good job of that."
about the baby's paternity: "I'm not doing Larry any favors so it better be court mandated."
on Anna and her children: "It's been very rough. She said that she didn't want to trade out children, meaning she didn't want one to be born and another to die."
on getting married: "We will. Right now we have to somehow get through what we're going through."

The baby's name is not Hannah, it is Dannilynne Hope in tribute to her older brother. Howard also said that they plan on living in the Bahamas so that the baby can have as normal a life as possible. He also called himself "a proud father" and admitted that they have told Birkhead that he is not the father.

Kate Moss is like this iconic fashion presence. You either love her or hate her. I'm kinda in the middle on that one. However, you gotta give the woman props for being 32 and yet at the top of her game. 26 is like the expiration age for most models and Kate is way older and still prominently featured in fashion magazines, not to mention all the lucrative endorsements under her belt. So, one wonders why she continues to involve herself with the walking-dead, Pete Doherty.


That's another story for another day. If you don't know who Pete is, you should Google him. He's trouble.

Last week, this picture of Kate in blackface was all over the blogs.


She's on the cover of The Independent. Supposedly, this is part of a feature that was meant to attract attention to the AIDS crisis in Africa. Ok...there are so many problems with that. 1) Were all the hot black celebrities working that day or something? Could we not find one hot African-American star to put on the cover on the magazine to draw attention to Africa? As annoying as Naomi Campbell is, I'm sure she would've agreed to this. It's fucking insulting! Kate Moss?!!! 2) If Kate Moss really was aware of HIV/AIDS, how about she stop getting back together with Pete I-insert-various-needles-into-my-body-everyday Doherty? I mean, really. I'm telling you, stop reading this right now. Open a new window and Google that mothereffer. This whole things just disgusts me.


Lastly, Pete just got out of rehab this week. Pete goes to an Irish pub to perform with his band Babyshambles. Pete is accompanied by Kate. Kate has coke boogers up her nose. If you don't believe me, click to enlarge. Thanks. Gross!!! I hope her daughter hates her one day.

Justin Timberlake and gal pal, Cameron Diaz got into it with a couple photogs last week. I'm kinda late on this news, but I don't care cause I just wanted to post pictures of Justin looking pissed off. It's kinda hot, don't cha think? I do.

Justin's new album FutureSex/LoveSounds debuted at #1 last week and sold over 700,000 copies. Yay!! I've heard the album and it's pretty good. I didn't like all the songs, but there's a couple of them that are heavily rotated on my iPod. It's funky and good for driving or when you're getting ready to go out and party. Here's Justin with Christina Aguilera at his album release party.


However, JT was dethroned this week by...wait for it...keep waiting for it...it's really ridiculous...none other than...is he or isn't he gay?...Clay Aiken. Yup, Clay managed to outsell Justin this week and took over the top spot. I didn't know anyone actually still liked Clay. Especially with that K.D. Lang hairdo he's been sportin.


P.S. Fergie's solo effort, The Dutchess debuted at #3.


I love this album. I didn't think I would because it's really not my style, but it's full of energy and the songs are unfortunately in my case, very catchy. Check it out!

UPDATE: Justin actually did beat Clay to the #1 position. Clay did give him a run for his money. Justin won out by only 12,000 copies. Sorry, Claymates.
