Can you blame that woman? I felt the same way when I heard Britney Spears was in my hood. Plus imagine how many cars are suddenly in these quiet neighborhoods, when all those paparazzi come in to take pictures of her doing whatever?
I have given up feeling bad for her because if she didn’t want all those paparazzi following her she would leave Los Angeles.

Paris Hilton’s neighbors are pissed at all the paparazzi and media that has encroached on their neighborhood since the ditsy heiress moved in. Two of the neighbors are trying to organize everyone in the area in an effort to stop the media circus.
They’ve put out a flier titled “Heiress Alert: Time for Action” telling people to file complains with the police department and city council.
Unfortunately they also put their contact information on the thing, because it’s now making its way around the ‘net. I blurred out their phone numbers and e-mail addresses, but no one else is doing it so they’ll probably have to change their phone numbers soon.
Paris gets out of jail on June 25th, which is just under a week away. Her father and mother visited her in jail over the weekend. She is said to have made her dad a card for father’s day, and her mom says she passes the time reading fan mail.
Thanks to Hollywood.outsidethebeltway.com for the letter from Paris’ pissed neighbors, below.

Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley went out to dinner last night in London along with their costar in the film The Edge of Love, Matthew Rhys, and Keira’s boyfriend, Rupert Friend. Keira’s boyfriend looks a lot less like a low-rent version of Orlando Bloom now that he’s died his hair blonde and cut it short.
Sienna and Kiera wore quite similar outfits, with black tights paired with black slouchy boots and thigh-length loose dresses. They both used red accessories and overall it looked like they got dressed together before heading out.
The two have been filming their Dylan Thomas biopic in Wales, a small country in the south west of Great Britain. It is known for its beautiful mountains and picturesque seaside.
Keira and Sienna are said to love the area so much that they’re looking for cottages next to each other so that they can vacation there together in the future:
We’re told Sienna and 22- year-old Keira have become inseparable on the set in New Quay, Wales, so much so they are currently househunting for neighbouring cottages overlooking the sea there.
We’re told: “Sienna and Keira feel it would be great to have homes there and go on joint holidays once filming stops, so they can keep up their friendship.
The source added: “They’re actively hunting for the perfect cottages in the area.”
Do you think they’ll stay friends long enough to ever vacation there?
Thanks to This is London for these pics and story. You may have already seen the ones of them filming together as they’re a bit older.

The National Enquirer reports that Posh and Becks’ Beverly Hills neighbors are annoyed that the famous Brits want to put a huge wall around their estate in the once-quiet neighborhood. They’re said to be circling a petition that asks the city to deny the Beckham’s request for the tall wall, which they say will ruin the charm on the quiet street:
Victoria Beckham… is off to a roaring start, infuriating BevHills neighbors with a petition asking the city permission to erect a high, fort-like wall that would encircle their newly purchased estate! Raging that a walled compound will ruin the charm of their open, tree-shaded street, neighbors are waging a Fight Fort Beckham campaign, collecting signatures for a petition they’ll submit to town fathers.
[From The National Enquirer print edition, Mike Walker’s column, June 4, 2007]
The article doesn’t give a reason for the wall, but I bet the Beckhams are planning it in an attempt to keep paparazzi at bay. It seems like they’re going to piss off their neighbors no matter what they do, because there will be vans and cars blocking the street if photographers can get clear shots of them. Then again, if the Beckhams aren’t that popular in the states maybe all the hoopla will die down and their neighbors won’t have much to worry about. Once that crappy reality show comes out we’ll see how popular Becks and Posh are in America.
I just wanted an excuse to publish these pictures of David Beckham playing soccer for Real Madrid vs. Deportivo on Saturday. Real Madrid beat visiting Deportivo La Coruna 3-1 on Saturday to retain the lead of the Spanish league with two rounds remaining. (That’s a verbatim copy and paste from the linked source, China Post.) Thanks to Photorazzi for these pics.

Just give the kids an early start. Then again, if all alcoholics were sober members of AA, there wouldn’t really be much of a gossip industry. HBO head Chris Albrecht, who was arrested in Vegas after the Mayweather/de la Hoya fight for trying out some of their moves on his girlfriend, is being all like, “Oh, woops, I’m an alcoholic” about it. Albrecht has decided to take a leave of absence from HBO, stating:
This weekend was a wake-up call to me of a weakness I thought I had overcome long ago. I had been a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous for thirteen years. Two years ago, I decided that I could handle drinking again. Clearly, I was wrong. Given that truth, I have committed myself to sobriety. I intend to take a temporary leave of absence from HBO effective today, in order to go back to working with AA.

My colleagues and friends:
I am deeply sorry for what occurred in Las Vegas this weekend and for any embarrassment it caused my family, the company I love, and myself.
While I am not at liberty to discuss the incident as the district attorney and my lawyer are still determining the facts, it is my hope to do so in the near future.

The head of HBO, Chris Albrecht, has taken a leave of absence and has entered AA after being arrested over the weekend in Las Vegas. Albrecht was arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend outside the MGM Grand. He was there to watch to the fight that his network aired.
TV week has the memo that Albrecht sent out to his staff about his leave:

Where are The Sopranos when you need them? It will be interesting to see if he will be allowed to return to his position as CEO and Chairman of HBO. With the end of The Sopranos and none of the new shows minus Entourage doing well, this could be HBO’s easy way out.
Thanks to TGOM!

Rapper Kanye West will star in a reality series that HBO is developing with "Borat" director Larry Charles, sources said. The as-yet-untitled project is said to focus on a day in what is described as the crazy, hectic life of the Grammy-winning artist. HBO declined comment. West, a music producer-turned-rapper, has released two multiplatinum albums — 2004’s "The College Dropout" and 2005’s "Late Registration" — that yielded five Grammys. Charles, a veteran of "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," previously directed another musical icon, Bob Dylan, in the 2003 feature "Masked and Anonymous."
This is my prediction for the show. He will p!ss off a lot of people by saying a lot of stupid things that he will have to apologize for when he finally does press for the show. I say finally because mid-way through the filming he pulls a Dave Chappelle and goes MIA.

Thomas Working On Matchbox Twenty Reunion…. Rob Thomas and his former Matchbox Twenty bandmates are working on material for a fourth album, but refuse to be locked into a specific release date. The new album would be the group’s first studio set since 2002’s More Than You Think You Are and since founding member Adam Gaynor left the band. Thomas explains, "We’ve been talking about doing some Matchbox stuff. The guys in the band are writing. "We’ve been around over 10 years and we’ve been gone now for a couple of years, so we don’t have any reason to do it until we’ve really got something we stand behind and we love. "So who the hell knows what that’s going to be."

This was a band I was not into until I saw them in concert. They are amazing live and their music is actually really good.
