Pamela Anderson Is Recording a Single. Excuse Us While We Deliberately Puncture Our Eardrums.
4 December 2009 8:20 AM, PST | Celebuzz.com | See recent Celebuzz news »
Apparently weary of scaring small children with her leathery skin and Projectile Breasts of Doom, way-former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson is embarking on a bold new career venture: She's recording a pop song, entitled "High." According to early reports, she's fully invested in smashing genre barriers, and has locked herself away in a recording studio in an obsessive pursuit of a never-before-heard sound. Naw, just kidding; she plans to stumble her way through the thing like Anna Nicole Smith's ghost on an ether binge. Anderson's collaborator, fashion designer Richie Rich, tells the New York Post: "We are recording a pop single together. Pam says... »

Out Of Fashion: "It throws people off," says ousted CEO Ray Brunner of his white-stocking style. So did his controversial reign. Then-ceo Brunner said that Dwr Kitchen was ahead of plan. That "plan" must have been extraordinarily conservative. Only one person purchased a Dwr kitchen in 2009. | Photograph by Clay Patrick McBride
Retailer Design Within Reach helped create a new appreciation for the modernist aesthetic. With design more mainstream than ever, why is the company in such dire straits?

Gabor's Husband Plans To Make American Teenager A Princess On TV
26 November 2009 12:26 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Zsa Zsa Gabor's eccentric husband is hoping to turn an American girl into a real-life princess on a new U.S. reality show.
Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, who hails from Hungarian royalty, is working on a new show called Make Me a Princess, in which he plans to adopt an 18-year-old girl and help make her dreams come true.
He says, "I want to make an American girl a princess. I'm sure it's going to be a big show... It's a girl's dream to be a princess. It was my wife's dream to be a princess."
Von Anhalt offered to make tragic actress/model Anna Nicole Smith his princess before she died, confessing he romanced her around the time she conceived her baby daughter Dannielynn.
After Smith's death in 2007, von Anhalt made claims he was the biological father of the baby. Smith's former boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, finally won custody of Dannielynn after a DNA battle to find the girl's real dad. »
Howard K. Stern Settles Gay-Sex Grievance With Rita Cosby
23 November 2009 7:25 AM, PST | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Well, that's one less legal headache Howard K. Stern has to worry about. With a criminal trial looming on the question of whether he conspired to drug Anna Nicole Smith, the lawyer has settled a $60 million defamation suit he filed against former MSNBC anchor Rita Cosby over a tawdry tome she wrote. A petition for dismissal was filed on Friday, Stern attorney Steve Sadow confirms to E! News, but he would not comment further "pursuant to the terms of the settlement." That sound you're hearing is the husky-voiced journo clearing her throat in relief. Stern was seeking big bucks for several blockbuster allegations in Cosby's Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole... »
Stern Settles Defamation Case
22 November 2009 3:01 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer-turned-lover Howard K. Stern has settled a defamation suit over a steamy tell-all book about the late star.
Earlier this year, Stern filed a $60 million (£37.5 million) case against the Hachette Book Group and TV reporter-turned-writer Rita Cosby, accusing them of libel over a string of accusations made against him in Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death.
The tome about the late model makes a series of claims about Stern's sexuality, alleging Smith possessed a sex tape featuring Stern and her former boyfriend Larry Birkhead. Both men claimed Cosby had made it up, insisting the footage doesn't exist.
Stern sought compensatory and punitive damages, while Birkhead did not take legal action against Cosby.
And according to gossip website TMZ.com, Stern's battle with the author has been dismissed after they agreed to a settlement.
Terms of the legal deal will be kept confidential. »

Courting Disaster: Werner Herzog
18 November 2009 8:00 AM, PST | Interview Magazine | See recent Interview Magazine news »
Adventuring filmmaker Werner Herzog has been lots of places; until recently, on a film set with the likes of Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes was not one of them. His latest project, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, stars Cage as one of the most messed-up cops you've ever seen. It's a gonzo film noir, a hallucinatory dispatch from the post-Katrina gutter–a movie that is, like most of Herzog's work, best described simply as a Herzog film. I talked to the veteran provocateur about what he's learned from disastrous shoots in the jungle, "the bliss of evil," and the importance of Anna Nicole Smith.
Darrell Hartman: You've been making movies for almost 50 years. Any particular reason you decided to try your hand at film noir now?
Werner Herzog: I think there are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there's insecurity, »

Michael Lohan: A Desperate and Despicable Dad!
13 November 2009 3:00 AM, PST | Momlogic | See recent Momlogic news »
To what lengths would any of us go to save our grown daughter from herself?
Dr. Michelle Golland: Is Michael Lohan despicable for trying to sell the recorded conversations he had with his daughter and ex-wife? Yes. He is also a desperate dad with apparently very few options. We all can see the downward spiral of Lindsay Lohan, and many people, including her mother, father, and assistant, fear she will not recover from what appears to be a life of chaos and addiction. To what lengths would any of us go to save our grown daughter from herself?
Michael Lohan obviously has demonstrated poor judgment as a father, particularly by accepting money for his interview after reportedly being unable to "sell" the audiotapes. What is unfortunate is that his concern for the welfare of his daughter appears to be overshadowed by his motivation for financial gain. If he had any »
Melissa George joins "Lie to Me"
10 November 2009 8:00 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
I was hoping Melissa George would find more work after getting the boot from Grey's Anatomy, but I guess I was looking for something a little more than this. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Melissa will join the cast of Lie to Me as "an Anna Nicole Smith-type."
Melissa will play Clara Martin, "the sassy wife of an older billionaire who has been murdered" who takes control of his empire. As Michael Ausiello notes, "she's kinda nuts."
If anything, this will probably be a fun part to play, but I'd also love to see Melissa do something a little more bad ass. However, we can hold out hope she'll share a scene with Lie to Me's Zoe Landau, aka Jennifer Beals. But with Clara not showing up till the 11th episode of the second season's 13, she might not have that much screen time.

Mer's self-injuring Grey's Anatomy Bff has hopped the crazy train over to Lie to Me. Melissa George is joining the Fox drama as an Anna Nicole Smith-type who will go toe-to-toe with Tim Roth, sources confirm to me exclusively. Her character, Clara Martin, is the sassy wife of an older billionaire who has been murdered. After being exonerated in a high-profile murder trial, she assumes control of her husband's empire. Lightman sees himself in her — naughty, fearless, strategic, and always game for the next adventure. In other words, she's kinda nuts. George will recur beginning with this season's 11th episode. »

Smith Thought Pregnancy Was Wind
1 November 2009 6:26 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Anna Nicole Smith was so heavily affected by her alleged drug habit, she was convinced her pregnancy was a case of bad wind.
In a shocking tape submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, Smith tells lawyer and former lover Howard K. Stern, who shot the footage in 2006, she isn't expecting a baby - despite displaying a prominent bump.
Smith gave birth to daughter Dannielynn in September, 2006, just months before she died of an accidental drug overdose in 2007.
The video was shown as evidence against Stern, and medics Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, who are all accused of illegally supplying the late model/actress with strong prescription drugs in the run up to her death.
The case is set to go to trial after Judge Robert J. Perry ruled there is enough evidence against the three defendants to try them before a jury.
The defendants will return to court on 11 December. »

The end of the Anna Nicole Smith hearing came more with a whimper than a bang.
For three weeks, testimony and arguments had raged in Department 104 over whether or not Smith’s lawyer-companion, her doctor and her psychiatrist should stand trial on charges the three conspired to illegally keep the model-actress – a known addict -- pumped up on a steady diet of dangerous prescription drugs that included Methadone, Dilaudid and Demerol.

"The Insider" has learned that a Los Angeles judge on Friday ordered that Anna Nicole Smith's former companion and two of her former doctors stand trial on charges of allegedly providing the late star with prescription drugs illegally. The decision was made following a three-week preliminary hearing that was held to determine if attorney Howard K.

If they are convicted of all charges, each defendant could face more than five years in state prison.
