Yesterday we reported the fierce pet custody battle between the recently split Marilyn Manson and his beautiful wife, pin up girl Dita Von Teese. We thought it couldn’t get any crazier; after all, it’s not every day that two kitty cats and a couple of dachshunds become the focus of a celebrity divorce. Houses in the ‘bu, luxury SUV’s and human offspring, yes. Balls of fluff, yapping pups and living beings that need their poop scooped; not so much.
Today People Magazine is reporting an even nuttier fact: Manson and 19-year-old semi-star Evan Rachel Wood are sitting in a tree (K-I-S-S-I-N-G). According to the mag:
“Dita is heartbroken, she didn’t see this coming,” says a source close to the burlesque dancer and MAC cosmetics model. “His partying contributed to the split as well.”
Manson, 38, and Wood have been friends for some time. According to his official website, Manson first met Wood when he asked her to be in his upcoming horror film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.
In addition, she posed for a watercolor that he painted, and attended the opening of his new Hollywood art gallery, the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art, last Halloween.
“It came as kind of a shock,” Wood told Rolling Stone about being asked to pose. “I was beyond flattered.”
Lindsay Lohan, who was rumored to be Manson’s latest gal pal, must be crying all the way to AA, sobriety chip and water bottle of vodka in hand.
Turns out going on a bender in Vegas isn’t the only way to get slammed by the press.
First, Oprah took heat for opening a multi-billion dollar school for girls in South Africa. Now, the celeb Mother Theresa known as Angelina Jolie is under fire for slamming Madonna.
(Is this a slow week for celebrity news or what?)
Jolie, the celeb who seems to be hooked on adoption (a good thing!), told a French periodical that she questioned Madge’s choice to adopt baby David in the first place from a nation where “there is no legal framework for adoption.”
“Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born,” Jolie reportedly said in an interview published by Gala. “Personally I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is legal.”
But Jolie says she didn’t intend to criticize Madonna, and that the article put her statements out of context.
Meanwhile, little David’s reportedly doing very well — now that he’s away from the spotlight and in the care of his new parents.
Is it just me, or does this situation evoke memories of little Elian Gonzalez?
If anything, all this press over the adoptions by Angie and Madge will make celebs better informed of the potential consequences of shopping for babies in any old country.
Eva Longoria, perhaps best known as Gaby Solis, took home a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Female TV Star during the ceremony hosted by Queen Latifah. She looks flawless. What else is new.

Well, earlier this evening sources in New Jersey were snitching that the New Jersey Nets’ Jason Kidd had filed charges against his wife for abusing their three children. Well, the Garden State’s point guard officially filed for divorce late Tuesday. There’s a surprise! And once Joumana Kidd gets a load of the dissolution papers, dollars to doughnuts says that this is going to get ugly.
J. Kidd accuses wifey of being a paranoid, abusive, ticking timebomb. He cites a number of public outbursts, including one at a recent Nets game, as evidence. J. Kidd claims that his soon to be ex of ten years manuevered her way into the team’s locker room last month and raided her husband’s locker. The missus was apparently in search of her hubby’s cell phone and wasted no time inspecting it’s contents for names and digits. She then allegedly left the couple’s eight year old son, T.J in the locker room and went up into the stands where she hurled curses at Jason during his game.
Joumana Kidd is also accused of kicking, hitting, punching and throwing things at Jason, who describes her as “increasingly controlling and manipulative.” He “ain’t” seen “controlling and manipulative” until she starts taking him to the cleaners for a piece of that $18 million pie that he’ll be racking in this season. The official petition for divorce claims: “The defendant’s extreme and unwarranted jealousy and rage has left the plaintiff concerned about her emotional stability.”
IF there’s any truth to these allegations-this broad’s a real wack job.
“I hope you guys will respect this tough situation my family is going through and that we can resolve this as quickly as possible,” Kidd said after tonight’s win against the Toronto Raptors
The NBA scorer also claims that his wife had tracking devices installed on his vehicles, PC’s, and has harassed his friends, family, and even his trainer. It looks like J’s got a fatal attraction on his hands-let’s hope he doesn’t own a rabbit.
Jason Kidd has led the New Jersey Nets with a sweet shot as the team’s resident point guard. The six foot, four inch NBA star begins every free throw by blowing a kiss to wifey up in the stand-well, it looks like those kisses may be blowing in the wind.
Jason filed a domestic-violence complaint against his wife Joumana on Monday. But it isn’t J. Kidd’s head that Jou’s smacking; Jason’s accusing his wife of abusing the couple’s three children, a son, T.J and twin girls Miah and Jazelle. The family lives in the Saddle River section of Jersey, where the Police claim to have not received any domestic complaints, but the lawyer representing this family’s patriarch tells a different story:
“It has been painful for Jason Kidd to watch the effect of his wife’s behavior on their children,” said Madeline Marzano-Lesnevich, a Hackensack based attorney.
This isn’t the first bout of trouble for the Kidd’s. Jason pleaded guilty to spousal abuse in 2001, after Joumana alerted authorities that her husband had hit her during a verbal altercation.
The body that was James Brown until early Christmas morning has still not been buried. According to sources in South Carolina, the same legal issues that have Brown’s “widow,” Tomi Rae, locked out of the musician’s mansion are holding up the burial. Talk about family feuds.
“The hope is that all parties can sit down and figure out what the problem is and what the challenges are,” attorney Thornton Morris said. “And once we figure out what the challenges are we’ll see if we can’t resolve something that’s a win for everybody,” says Tomi Rae’s lawyer.
Tuesday just wasn’t a good day for the dearly departed. One Jacque Hollander accused James of raping her twenty years ago, and has petitioned the Supreme Court to have a sexual harrassment lawsuit filed against the estate.
“As a rape victim, I will never get to face him in court, and it hurts,” Hollander said. “But we are moving forward. We filed against his organization, as well as him. So now his organization stands in front of him.”
Whether or not James Brown’s body will make it into the ground before he becomes a fossil is still up in the air.
Retired fashionisto/a, Mr. Blackwell placed Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in the Number One spot of his long-awaited “Worst Dressed Women List” on Tuesday. Mr. Blackwell was inspired to bash P&B after checking out their “style-free and fashion deprived” wardrobes. M.B went on to nickname the newly chummy pals-the “Screamgirls.” This comes just hours after Paris pleaded Not Guilty to a DUI charge.
Other celebs that made their way on to Blackwell’s forty-seventh annual list of “Worst Dressed Women” include LiLo (Lindsay Lohan) and veteran actress Meryl Streep-perhaps the Devil doesn’t love Prada after all.

In further info from her interview with Gala magazine, Angelina Jolie has expanded on her desire to adopt more children with Brad Pitt. She says that it’s important that they remain as attached as possible to their three current children, Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh but that there’s definitely enough love for more children in their future.
But is there enough money? Angelina says, “Brad and I want to continue to adopt, but keeping a big family uses up a lot of money.”
This is true enough but many regular old folks manage to do it. Maybe regular folks do it because they don’t have to pay for nannies and personal entourages, though.
Perhaps someone can send the couple some frugal tips like how to clip coupons, shop sales, and do bulk cooking to help save some money so that they can work their millions-per-movie salaries into affording to provide for their expanding family.
Dear Howard Stern:
Hey now! Before the day slips away from me (remember, it’s my birthday! Today is really all about me anyway) I wanted to wish you and the gang a very happy one year anniversary. Thanks to you my eyes have been opened to oh-so-many things; things that have made me throw up a little in my mouth; things that have left me scratching my head; things that my husband thanks you for.
How could I survive long days at my computer and in my car without my Sirius Satelite Radio? How could I have lived a full life without knowing about the Sybian? How would I have known about granny-porn star Blue Iris, Jeff the Drunk or my very, very favorite wack packer, Eric the Midget / Actor / Astronaut?
So thank you, Howard Stern. In your honor I’m typing this post in the nude (guess my birthday plan of staying in my pj’s all day is totally down the crapper).
