Lane Garrison Gets 40 Months in Prison

I guess that’s the going rate for killing a 17-year-old kid while driving on a coked-up bender.

“I’m sick of my own behavior that night,” Garrison said in court. “This remorse is genuine. I feel it every day.”

I’d say the message here is don’t drive drunk, but you kids should already know that.

So the other message is, please, don’t get in a car with a drunk-ass D-list celebrity. If you’re gonna risk your life, at least find a damn B-lister.

“The Hills” is real, really

Audrina Partridge

MTV’s biggest reality show, The Hills, has been criticized for producing its own version of reality. It’s unclear how many fans have been jilted following numerous reports suggesting their reality show is actually a loosely scripted drama marketed for teens. Hoping to keep the faith alive, Audrina Patridge showed up last night at Les Deux and insisted The Hills is very much reality.

“Lauren and me are real friends,” says Patridge. “We live in our apartment. That’s real, like where we work, everything. The situations are real.”

Qualifying her statement, she adds: “I mean, they might be kinda like, ‘Okay, we want you to go to Les Deux tonight,’ so we go and whatever happens, happens. And they might do things to tweak it a little bit, but our reactions—it’s totally real. It’s reality.”

So, Audrina is trying to convince everyone The Hills is real by saying the people are real, the salads they eat are real, and the restaurants they go to do in fact exist. Then at the same time she says producers tell them where to go and what to do which in some circles (read: everywhere) could be considered acting. Whew, I’m glad she cleared that up. It’s a good thing Audrina practiced that little speech because she might have sounded like a complete retard.

Some old bikini shots of Audrina just because.

Pierce Brosnan will kick your ass if you superficially compliment him

Source: www.celebitchy.com

top-jtm-023953.jpg

Pierce Brosnan never really struck me as one of those actors that would knee you in the crotch if you asked him for an autograph – but then again I’ve never seen a single James Bond movie so I probably just don’t know better. You just closed this story and blocked this site, didn’t you? Just because I don’t know 007? I know the reference, does that help? No? Well I’m writing this while drinking my fifth martini of the morning, if that helps for anything.

It seems like a lot of otherwise fairly nice-seeming celebrities are going a little berserk on the paparazzi lately – and I can’t really blame them. It seems like the paps have really taken the stalking up a notch in the last few years. I can understand that it must be incredibly frustrating to go to dinner with your kid and have 20 people following you and flashing bright lights in your face. Though to be fair, I don’t think Pierce Brosnan gets the Whitney Bears treatment. It’s not like his career is floundering, but I’d say if one or two guys are still following you, buy them a steak. But Brosnan is a little more “punch them in the ribs” than that.

Apparently, Pierce Brosnan likes his shutterbugs shaken and stirred. The erstwhile James Bond is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for purportedly popping a paparazzo last Friday outside a trendy Malibu eatery.

“[Brosnan] is alleged to have committed a battery against a male adult,” said Sheriff’s Dept. spokesman Steve Whitmore. “We’re investigating it, and we’ve taken a report which we’ll refer to the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office for review.” He refused to release further details.

According to TMZ, the photographer in question, Robert Rosen of Ability Films, was reportedly tailing Brosnan and his young son when the incident occurred at about 6:15 p.m. near the entrance to the Casa Escobar Mexican restaurant.

The Website claims the cameraman approached the 54-year-old actor and complimented him on his Bond roles, prompting a tart reply from Brosnan. Eyewitnesses tell TMZ that Brosnan stopped short of using his license to kill, instead allegedly punching Rosen in the ribs. The photographer retaliated with a kick to Brosnan’s stomach before fleeing the scene, the witnesses claim.

[From E! News]

I wonder what this so-called “tart reply” was. Brosnan is British, so the tart reply may literally have been a comment about tarts. I’m guessing apple, but he could have been talking about cherry tarts too. Either way, nothing makes a British man madder than someone insulting tarts. Baked goods must be protected at all costs, and Brosnan would have been less than a man if he didn’t punch the photog in the ribs over it. Yes I know I missed the point. But I’m pretty sure getting punched in the ribs over a tart is about as stupid as getting punched in the ribs over a compliment. So I’m going with the tart on this one.

Lane Garrison sentenced to 40 months for drunken deadly crash

Source: www.celebitchy.com

top-csh-012260.jpg

Lane Garrison got just about half the maximum sentence for his drunken/drug fueled car crash that killed a teenager last December. He was sentenced to forty months, just about half of the six years and eight months he could have received. He’s been in jail for three months so far and will get credit for time served. If he behaves himself, he could be out in twenty months – not much for killing a person.

side-csh-012332.jpg Garrison pleaded guilty in May to felony vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence in the deadly accident that took 17-year-old Vahagn Setian’s life and injured two 15-year-old girls.

Following his plea, Garrison was ordered in August to undergo a 90-day diagnostic stay at the California Institute for Men in Chino.

He completed the psychological evaluation last month and was turned over to Los Angeles County authorities. Since then, he has been incarcerated at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility while awaiting sentencing.

The actor’s legal team had pushed for him to be released on probation, but Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox felt a stricter penalty was in order.

[From E! News]

Maybe it’s just me – that doesn’t seem like much of a penalty. Several of the articles I’ve read today have stupid titles like “Not much of a prison break for Garrison.” Vehicular manslaughter really should have a higher maximum sentence. I can’t believe they didn’t add some charges for the alcohol/drug aspect of the crime. I’m not sure if this is celebrity justice or just crappy justice that anyone could get, but I really hope terrible things happen to this guy in his cell. Though because he’s famous, he probably will be kept in isolation, so that will make his time feel a hell of a lot longer. And that makes me a little bit happier.

Are Halloween costumes for little girls too slutty?

Source: www.celebitchy.com

costume_tooslutty.jpg
In 2002 there was a big controversy over tween-sized thong underwear at Abercrombie, the younger division of Abercrombie and Fitch, featuring suggestive phrases such as “Wink Wink” and “Eye Candy.” Now it seems that skanky outfits for young girls aged 9-12 are a much more common and accepted part of American culture. Toys like Bratz and shows like Hannah Montana and High School Musical encourage tweens to embrace consumerism and dress fashionable and sexy

Halloween is no exception, with costumes for the under 13-set getting more sexy and revealing. Outfits that used to be reserved for adult role play are now perfectly acceptable costumes for young girls. Is this too much too soon for young girls, or just a natural progression of dress up? It’s funny when adult women dress as sexy pirates, sexy witches, and sexy devils, but it’s disturbing when 9 year-old girl does it.

There’s a “Yahoo! Answers” question that asks “Do you think Halloween costumes for kids and teenagers are too provocative these days?” My favorite answer comes from shallytally: “Barbie hooker is adorable and teaches commerce at an early age.”

Here are some pictures of the more suggestive outfits. Do you have a daughter around that age and would you let her dress like this? Would she insist on wearing an outfit like this? Sometimes I’m all too glad I have a little boy. It’s sad that kids are being sexualized like this, but if it makes someone money, they’ll figure out a way to create it, even if its not in the best interest of our children.

Thanks to Newsweek for the background and idea for this article. Most of the costumes shown here were mentioned in that article.

Heather Mills admits to suicidal thoughts

Source: www.celebitchy.com

top-hmillscrazy.jpg

I go out of my way to be sympathetic towards anyone dealing with severe emotional issues or mental illness. But Heather Mills just gave an interview to Brittan’s GMTV in which she doesn’t come off as very genuine. She throws out that she has been suicidal in a very cavalier way. Most people truly suffering from feelings of extreme depression wouldn’t just toss that out there randomly. The way she says it reeks of attention seeking and is a blatant attempt to get sympathy. I would truly never want to be careless about someone giving a cry for help, but that absolutely does not seem like what Mills was doing.

side-hmillscrazy.jpg Heather Mills broke down in tears on Britain’s GMTV on Wednesday, as she addressed her battles with the tabloid press and her ongoing divorce from Paul McCartney. In addition to daily run-ins with the paparazzi, the former Dancing with the Stars hopeful says she has “had it” with unflattering coverage in British papers. (One recent story in The Sun accused her of hosting a massive fireworks display at her home, which allegedly sent a neighbor’s dog into cardiac arrest.)

“Everything they write is complete rubbish,” the ex-model, 39, told the morning news program. “They’ve called me a ‘whore’, a ‘gold-digger,’ a ‘fantasist,’ a ‘liar’ and the most unbelievably hurtful things. … I’ve been so close to suicide.”

In her rambling – and often emotional – tirade, Mills also attacked articles that claim she’s turned down multi-million dollar divorce settlements from the former Beatle. “I’ve been offered nothing, okay? Nothing!” she said, claiming to be nearly $3 million “in debt in lawyers fees. And that’s as much as I can say now, or I go to jail for telling the truth. So I’m gagged at the moment, because I’m not allowed to say a word while the media are fed this spin by a certain corner.” Mills also claims that since her May 2006 split from the music icon, she has received numerous death threats.

[From People]

Mills just seems like she’s freaking out and throwing out whatever she thinks might make people feel badly for her. She’s been absolutely hated in the British press since they day she was first linked to Paul McCartney, and the hatred has only grown worse since the couple split. By most accounts she’s an utterly atrocious person to be around – demanding, rude, controlling, and with an undeserved sense of entitlement. But even given all that, her press coverage is so tyrannical you’d almost feel badly for her – if she didn’t constantly respond and tell everyone how wonderful she is, how hard her life is, and what a freaking miracle the world has received in the form of her gracious presence. Mills goes on to talk a bit more about her reasons for feeling suicidal… and again, they seem pretty disingenuous.

“A certain part of the tabloid media created such a hate campaign against me, that they put my life and my daughter’s life at risk,” she said. “That’s why I considered killing myself because I thought, if I’m dead, she’s safe and she can be with her father. And that’s the truth. I’m sick of it.”

[From People]

See that doesn’t sound like a suicidal thought pattern, that sounds like someone who wants you to feel badly for her. If she really is concerned for her daughter’s welfare, there’s a lot of things she can do – get more security, move, or just keep a lower profile. But a lower profile would mean she couldn’t constantly go on television because she’s all confused about why no one likes her. I really hope (though highly doubt) that she has advisors somewhere that explain to her that throwing out threats like that is pretty dangerous, and could lead to her losing custody of Beatrice.

Jessica Simpson and Owen Wilson…

Jessica Simpson

Star via NYDN reports Jessica Simpson and Owen Wilson were dining together Sunday at Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica before they headed back to Owen’s place. Owen allegedly couldn’t keep his hands off her. This is troubling news for Jessica Simpson’s career as Owen might skew the demographics of the next installment of “Newlyweds”. She’s 27, he’s 38. That’s a large generation gap. Even larger if you factor in Jessica’s intellect.

Owen also seems to have a predilection for blondes. First Kate, now Jessica. That’s like weaning from a baby bottle to drinking straight from the cow. Milk’s always freshest at the source. If those boobs don’t cure your depression, then you are hopeless my friend. — Captain Swarthy

Britney Spears Tells Ryan Seacrest She Doesn’t Know Who Tony Romo Is

“Who?”

Britney Spears, when Ryan Seacrest asked her during a phone interview this morning if she was having a romance with Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo.

Britney reportedly had to be woken up for the 9:30 am interview, and sounded groggy and out-of-it throughout the entire thing.

Ryan himself reported Britney giving Tony a lap dance at an LA club last weekend.

Daniel Craig Will Stay on as Bond

Daniel Craig as James Bond in a Hot Speedo

I’ll admit, I was really skeptical when Daniel Craig was first cast as James Bond — I just didn’t find him all that impressive — but then I saw the film, and I quickly changed my mind. Mostly I changed my mind during that Speedo scene. Yeah. That’s where most of the mind-changing happened.

Daniel Craig — and his enormous package — have signed on to do four more Bond films. I hope he’s in that damn Speedo for the entirety of all four of them. Listen, MGM, we’ve seen Bond in a tux more times than we need to. That’s been done. Just keep him in a Speedo. That’ll be fine.
