Have Angie and Jen Ever Had It Out?
Even though Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie reportedly met briefly on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith—AKA the movie that ate Jen's marriage to Brad Pitt—we're just dying to know if the gals have encountered each other since. Aren't you?
So remember our fab Brangelina insider who gave us all the scoop on how Jen and Angelina currently feel towards each other? Now we gotta ask: Have they, or haven't they had it out?
Tori vs. Candy: Fame-Whoring Runs in the Family
Candy Spelling, wife of late megaproducer Aaron Spelling, has just called out daughter Tori in the classiest way possible: a cutting, petty open letter written to a cutting house of tabloid fever.
What a gal!
The missive, which is nothing more than a 375-word whinefest about Candy's decision not to attend her granddaughter's B-day do, is without a doubt Candy's finest verbal upchucking yet—and that's saying something, trust.
It's well-documented here on E! Online that the two Spelling bitches have had quite the feud over the past few years, with Tori waiting for her mom to rekindle their relaysh and Candy pissed about Tor's alleged refusal to communicate with her family. But Granny Spelling has reached a new level of divalicious .
Even though daughter dearest appears to be the victim here, all is not as it may seem for the Spelling clan...
Jackson Clan Mistreating Debbie Rowe?
Michael Jackson's early exit has left his loved ones devastated. Not only because they mourn the loss of their brother, father and son, but because Michael's sudden departure left his family, too, without the opportunity to work past a lot of questions they had prior to his death.
"Michael and his family had many unresolved issues," dishes a source über-tight with the Jackson fam. "He has left them with a lot of unanswered questions, particularly about why he fell so out of touch with most of them."
We're told this has left an anger-fueled Jackson family, who are so grief-stricken, they're taking it out on one person in particular: Debbie Rowe.
Bitch-Back! Perez vs. Isaiah, and On and On
Dear Ted:
I hate to join the masses who disagree with you about the Perez Hilton thing, but I just wanted to say this: I'm a black woman who does not approve of the N-word. It is said by black people to black people (and many of us don't approve) in jest or anger. In this case, the F-word was said by a gay man to a nongay man to bait him into anger. I understand your point that it happens every day, but if we want more people to understand that the F-word is a slur, we should treat it that way. To not be upset about it kind of condones the usage. To me it is the same thing that Isaiah Washington did, but more annoying since Perez really should have known better. On another note, could you imagine if a black guy used the N-word to tick off a white guy? It's funny because being mistaken for a black person isn't an insult in most places. Can't wait until we get to the same place with LGBT people.

Dear Wordplay:
Listen, if you want to crucify Perez, there are plenty of opportunities. I just don't think this should be one. Yes, of course, Perez probably should have known better. But he shouldn't be crucified for doing what the black community does constantly: taking back the power of hurtful words and reusing them as they see fit. It's Chris Rock's whole stand-up routine, for heaven's sake.
Dear Ted:
What's your take of the CNN interview that Joe Jackson did at the BET Awards? He responded "great" when asked how he was doing. Would you really say "great" when your son had suddenly died three days ago? It indicates to me that Joe really was extremely jealous of Michael.

Dear Self-Righteous:
I think he really did seem fine, which is perfectly fitting for how Joe treated M.J. throughout his life. Plus, from the way Joe has been conducting himself lately, and since he himself might have known about being snubbed from the will, I'm certainly not surprised.
Dear Ted:
So what's going on between Elizabeth Reaser and Peter Facinelli? They are always holding hands, hugging, hanging all over each other, etc...mucho PDA—way too much for "just friends."

F-Word vs. N-Word: What’s the Difference?
Most of you are furious we're actually picking on Fergie instead of Perez Hilton in the smackdown that happened Sunday night. Look, folks, Ferg's a grown girl. She's got every right to defend herself, but why bother trying to change the stubborn mind of a bitchy dude like P.H.? Ain't gonna happen. We know that, and the Black Eyed Peas shoulda known that, too. Then they wouldn't be getting sued!
So about Hilton slinging the F-word at will.i.am?
"Whenever these vulgar antigay slurs are used," Rashad Robinson, Senior Director of Media Programs of GLAAD, tells us, "it feeds a climate of hatred and intolerance that contributes to putting the gay and lesbian community in harm's way."
So basically: It's never OK to say.
If that's so, we gotta seriously wonder about this double standard: How many rappers, supercommercial dudes like Kanye West included, drop the N-word onstage without skipping a beat or getting blasted for it? Isn't this the same damn thing?
Morning Piss: Fergie, Get Thicker Skin!
No, I'm not condoning punching people, but I am surprised Perez Hilton didn't have the snark knocked out of him earlier, and I'm even more shocked that all this beat-down drama came from the usually peace-parlaying pop group Black Eyed Peas. Fergie approached Hilton asking if he had a prob with her; Will.i.am came to her defense, and the rest of the blood-drawing fight is being dragged out more than a friggin' Twitter war.
Why did Ferg and Will even bother addressing Perez's bitchy blogging about their band? Letting your detractors know how much they're hurting you only gives 'em more attention—we all learned that in grade school. Please. Doesn't Ferg have tough enough skin to take all the fug comments slung her way? I sure hope the gal's confident enough to let some criticism slip by without starting a smackdown. In fact, I know she is, which is why this is all so surprising. Maybe Fergie's just not herself since her man's in such close proximity to the man-mangling Megan Fox these days?
Kim Kardashian, the New and Improved Paris!
You know you've made it to über celebrity when the crazies start coming out! We bet Kim Kardashian's seriously reconsidering signing up for this spoiled type of life.
Kimmy K. was taping her tummy exercise DVD at posh workout spot Equinox in Bev Hills when a fellow female gymgoer started following the booty-ful babe around the gym. The woman got way too creepy close to our dear K2—over and over and over—and she had to be kicked the ef out.
Feels like it was just yesterday that Paris was the nutty-fan magnet before frenemy Kim gobbled it right up, nipping at her stilettos.
The put-upon stars may very well have shifted for these two, but is K.K. regretting it? Sure, being famous for merchandising yourself, your family's reality shenanigans and some amateur Internet sex sure sounds like fun in the beginning, but it ain't all Sprinkles cupcakes.
We hope Kim's able to keep up with this superficial lifestyle, 'cause she's seriously doing a better job at the famous-for-frills thing than Ms. Hilton.
How?
Hills Update: Something Awful This Way Blogs
Looks like our original deep-dish digging on the giant Justin Bobby drama brewing behind the scenes of The Hills has sparked some sanctimonious sass from the parties involved. Audrina had no comment on her blog about the sitch, just calling it "confusing and hurtful"—and we all know that no denial is the same as an admission. You were better off lying, hon.
So funny, isn't it, that L.C. had the gall to publicly blog back to Audrina that she would "never hurt a friend like that," while simultaneously badmouthing Aud's sorta-BF over and over? If A.P. cared enough to be stabbed in the back by some rumored hookup, Laur, doncha think she'd be equally miffed by you unabashedly badmouthing J. Bobby? What tact.
So why would the ew-inducing man in question, on Laur's behalf anyway, supposedly confess to such a snog session? Just to ef with Aud, L.C. and the media? So Spencer of him. Why don't the three of them just book a suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel together and just suss this whole sordid affair out straight? Just don't forget the video camera.
