Justin Mourns Breakup With Cam…Hey! Is That Scarlett?

Scarlett JohansenWe really liked Justin and Cameron together. The whole younger man/older woman vibe, the fact that they liked to hit Laker games together, the fact that they rarely spoke about their relationship, the fact that both actually have some talent. It worked for us. We were rooting for these kids. So we were more than a little disappointed to hear of their demise over the holidays. It made us crank up NSYNC and watch The Mask over and over.

Apparently, JT doesn’t share our sadness, as he may have already moved onward. And totally upward.

Seems the smokin’ hot Scarlett Johansson is featured in JT’s newest video for “What Goes Around,” his soon to be released next single, and they, uh, hit it off. And then last week, at the after party for the premiere of Timerlake’s new flick, Alpha Dog, she kept him company. Probably because no one wanted to talk to him there and she didn’t want him to be left standing all alone and looking awkward, as we often look at parties.

“She walked in keeping her head down. When she met Justin they looked very close and chatted away for ages. There were other people trying to speak to Justin but he kept his attention on her for around an hour. They looked very intimate.” All this according to these folks.

We’re interested to see what happens here. Scarlett has said in the past that she’s skeptical of relationships and monogamy. Justin, however, is coming right out of an almost four year relationship with…with…what was her name again?

Not-So-Blind Items

Nothing gets my morning started off better than some good old fashioned blind items, courtesy of Page Six:

• WHICH desperate housewife (not from the show) who lives with her well-born, wealthy husband in New Jersey just bought an apartment off Fifth Avenue? She uses the pad for rendezvous with her lover of three years, a married exec with a financial services giant.

• WHICH Tinseltown sex siren with a humanitarian streak has resumed her old habit of dabbling with heroin? She paid a recent visit to an old rock star friend and joined him in narcotic stupor.

• WHICH married-with-children network anchorman is in trouble again with his wife? Someone tattled, and she learned he misbehaved with a comely co-worker at the office Christmas party.

Paris Eyeing An Oscar With “The Hottie and the Nottie”

Paris Hilton OscarParis Hilton is supposedly getting serious about acting…..ok. The hotel heiress, who ran out of gas in California last weekend and had to be helped out by a bunch of strange photographers, is eyeing a big name for herself with a role in the upcoming film “The Hottie and the Nottie.” (Insert smart ass remark here) What a charming title.

Of course the Academy will just be shoving an Oscar at Paris in this role as a super hot chick who won’t tie the knot until her frumpy friend finally lands a man. Paris is so serious about professional acting that she’s learning the art by reading the insightful “The Power of the Actor.”

Paris told “Hello” Mag, “I’m serious about acting and I have a bunch of movies lined up.” Doing what exactly, P.H? “I think I can become a good actress,” she goes on. “It’s something I want to prove to myself and to other people. I feel I’m getting better and feeling more confident about what I can do as an actress.” Well more power to ya, but perhaps someone should tell P that what she and Rick were doing on that grainy green and black video a few years back doesn’t count as “acting.”

Hilary Gets Swank On the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Hilary Swank Holywood Walk of FameHilary got her on star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday. The star of “Freedom Writers” (which features the plot of a White teacher swooping in to save “at-risk” youth that has been done to death) took the dedication ceremony to reflect on less than star-studded beginnings.

“I remember my mom using a roll of quarters to call agents from a pay phone and telling agents they should sign me.” Hil’s mom was also at the dedication ceremony. Taking the 2325th Walk of Fame star, Hilary turned Hollywood on it’s ear with her potrayal of slain FTM transsexual Brandon Teena in the 2000 film “Boys Don’t Cry,” based on a true story. The film earned Swank her first of two Oscars-the second coming in Clint Eastwood’s “Million Dollar Baby.”

Actress Jessica Biel and New York Yankees frontman, Derek Jeter have taken their “relationship” to the next level-the Caribbean. Rumors have been circulating that Jessica is taking Derek to “seventh heaven” in more ways than one since November. Now New York tattlers have spied shots of J.B and D.J lounging around under the sun in P.R. The pair took the time to play some volleyball, and even tried their hands at a few rounds of blackjack while vacationing together.

Chris Robinson Hangs Up Hopes of Getting Into Hyde

Chris RobinsonPartying in Hollywood just isn’t as exciting when you haven’t got a pretty blonde on your arm-especially if you’re Kate Hudson’s soon to be ex-hubby, rocker Chris Robinson. He can always join Kathy Griffin down on the D-List.

A particular snitch site has footage of Kate’s estranged husband, who filed for the Big D back in Nov, right in the fire storm of Kate’s “reported” affair with Owen, getting snubbed at an L.A nightclub called Hyde.

The folks at Hyde told Chris where he could take his hyde when they denied him entrance into the hot spot. Apparently the Black Crowes don’t have as much “juice” as Kate’s golden locks-he should hire an escort.

MoNiqueIt was plus-sized comedian Mo’Nique who first coined the popular phrase on the evil ways of skinny bitches, but the Council of Fashion Designers seems to agree. The leading authority on everything couture based in NYC has announced that they will be implementing new guidelines on the recent contro surrounding the existence of skinny models.

The American organization isn’t the first of the fashion forward to put a curtail on collar bones and flat booties on the runway. Back in September, Madrid banned models who didn’t meet particular height/weight requirements from strolling down the catwalk.

Britney Spears CleavageThe folks over at Pure Nightclub aren’t going to hold Britney’s impromptu napper against her. Despite previous reports, the pop singer, who recently announced her plans for a “comeback,” will be receiving her reported appearance fee topping $400,000.

Kate Turner is Pure’s PR rep. According to K.T, “The crowd LOVED Britney and they cheered her on everywhere she went. She had a great time and we were delighted with her appearance at the club and cannot wait to have her back. She is always welcome at PURE and we’d love to have Britney back next year for New Year’s Eve.” Maybe next year they’ll supply her with a sleeping bag.

It’s Looking More Official-Cameron and Justin Are Kupult

Justin TimberlakeYesterday, we discussed the careening trainwreck of a relationship formerly known as Cameron and Justin. Well-it looks like it may be official. Justin Timberlake told the Toronto Star that he and Cameron Diaz are no longer an item. Justin reportedly told freelance reporter John Hiscock that his relationship with the Charlie’s Angels actress is over, but that “he can’t talk about it.” That’s celebrity speak for “If I badmouth her in public, she’ll sue my ass.”

Wonder if Justin will “cry another river” complete with an embarassing video of girl dressed up like Cameron, similar to the one he did right after Britney gave him the boot? The last thing we need is another album of sappy love songs reminiscent of J.T’s days with an annoyingly popular boy band. We’ll keep you posted on the details.

Mel B Under Protective Custody

Damn those old school Eddie Murphy fans! Apparently, Eddie’s fans are more than just a little peeved that Mel B, otherwise known as the “Black Spice Girl,” is calling the veteran comedian out on fathering the crotchfruit currently occupying her uterus.

They’re so pissed off in fact that a group of them have set up shop in front of Scary’s L.A home with the sole purpose of showing the British born singer just how “scary” they can be. Mel has secured twenty-four hour security courtesy of the Beverly Hills Police Department.

Eddie’s got to be the worst expectant father on the planet, as Mel’s friends tell it:

“She is extremely lonely in LA and her life is being made intolerable by Eddie’s fans camped outside.”

“They shout insults and give her abuse all the time. The police have decided to place an officer outside to keep an eye on things.

“She was living with Eddie before all this happened and spent all her time with him — now she’s all alone.”
