I posted a story about Jodie Foster and her longtime partner, Cydney Bernard breaking up. And I posted a pic of Jodie and Sherry Lansing! Oops. I claim sleep deprivation and have corrected my error.

Are you as scared for those little critters as I am?

Papa Joe Causes Jess & Tony Split?
I sooo don't care that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo broke up. Altho, I did think they would make it longer. It just goes to prove what a poison Papa Joe is in the lives of his daughters. 
Jessica Simpson’s dad is urging her rumored-ex, Tony Romo, to “support the family” at Ashlee’s wedding to Pete Wentz this weekend.
“Joe has called Tony and asked him to come to show support for the wedding,” a source says.
It isn’t known if the Dallas Cowboys quarterback has agreed to show at the wedding, but he’s scheduled to fly into L.A. over the weekend.
Romo didn’t attend a bachelor party Joe threw for Fall Out Boy rocker Pete and a few of his pals on Thursday night, but according to reports, a steady supply of beer and wine was brought to their table. After the celebration, Joe picked the $1,000 bill.
It has been claimed that one of the reasons behind Tony and Jessica’s split was due to Joe’s “overbearing” nature, and because he’s “not only telling Jessica every move to make, but now has begun to offer unsolicited advice to Tony on his career, endorsement opportunities and things that have nothing to do with him dating Jessica.”
Meanwhile, Jessica and mom Tina threw a bachelorette party for Ashlee that E! reports was a “mellow affair.” About a dozen of Ashlee’s closest family members and friends attended the backyard event, decorated with balloons.
“Proper invites have not been sent out but instead guests have been given a save the date notice,” a source told Us Weekly magazine.
The rehearsal dinner – described by the source as “an intimate affair” for “family and close friends only” – will take place on Friday.

Craig's Celeb Studded Week
My very own Craig had so many great celeb sightings in NYC this week. He was there for the network up-fronts. Basically, it's their big show announcing the new season and talking about why you should advertise with them. They usually bring out all the big stars from their network and have fun parties to schmooze the advertisers.
Anyway, Craig was there. I told him he had to keep track of his sightings and to give me his overall impressions of the celeb based on his observations. He did a great job!
The only thing he forgot to mention was that Meredith Viera looked really old. But Ann Curry looked great.
(Not this trip, but this is Craig with Dave Navarro. SO FUNNY!)
Tina Fey at Cafe Luxemborg 70th @ Amsterdam, 1:30, Tuesday May 13.
Tina grabs a quick lunch with three others: one woman, two men, all in their mid/late 30's, all good looking and engrossed in conversation.
She does a lot of that loud laughing when she throws her head back and once even slaps the table with her hand.
Looks great, wearing black informal dress, the "I'm smarter than you are glasses" and her regular hair.
She seemed very real.
Holly Hunter and Kyra Sedgwick, Hammerstein Ballroom, Wednesday May 14.
They are on stage as part of the TNT upfront presentation to promote The Closer and Saving Grace.
These ladies are both looking fantastic! I never really had a thing for Holly Hunter, but she was rocking this great green dress and her legs were amazing. Kyra looked good too, but was a little wooden reading from the teleprompter.
Blake Lively and the cast of Gossip Girl at the CW upfront in the tent outside Lincoln Center, Wednesday May 14 approx 5:30 pm.
I now see why this show (and ANTM) singlehandedly keep the CW afloat. Blake, in particular, is shockingly pretty and attractive in a way that makes me feel a bit like a creepy old man.
I will also say that it was hard to distinguish the guys from the girls they are all so femininely assembled. The one main character guy is working hard to steal Zac Effron's look.

Angelina Jolie in Cannes
Yesterday Jack Black spilled the beans that Angelina was expecting twins. Later, Dustin Hoffman let it slip that they're due August 19th.
Why would Dustin Hoffman remember Angie's due date? Anyone else find that odd?
(I'm DYING for these nude Christian Louboutins.)

ANTM Caridee's New Boyfriend!
Reading that Caridee English has a new boyfriend reminded me that the America's Next Top Model finale was on last night. Did you watch this season? A plus-sized model finally won. I knew she would win. It was the final frontier for them, right? Well, I thought she was really pretty besides. So congrats, Whitney! And um...I guess "congrats" to Caridee, too...
New Top Model, Whitney Thompson
Old Top Model, Caridee English
CARIDEE English has a new lover. The "America's Next Top Model" winner dumped her hometown boyfriend and has taken up with fellow model Tyson Beckford. English told us at the Entertainment Weekly Upfront Party at the Bowery Hotel on Tuesday that her ex-boyfriend - whom she brought here from Fargo, ND - owes her $10,000. "He went into my bank account, took all that money and went to Las Vegas and spent it," she said. "We're over." (Source: Page Six)

Minor Celebs Roughed up at Kanye Show
I actually think this story is funny. Hey man, smoking's not cool.
My dearly beloved saw Kanye perform last night at an up-front party in NYC. He sent me a text message in the middle of the night (it was late!) saying "Kanye is ripping it up" and the pic below. I'll be sure he gives us an in-depth report on his celeb sightings when he gets back. He's had some good ones!
KANYE West's Tuesday night concert at Madison Square Garden turned into a nightmare for celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch, who was manhandled and thrown out by three security guards before it even started.
Rihanna, West's opening act, was performing around 9 p.m. when Bloch - whose clients include John Travolta and Salma Hayek - was approached by a tall security guard who ordered him to "take a walk with me." Bloch, who had earlier lit a cigarette but quickly stubbed it out unnoticed, had been talking to a group of pot-smoking teenagers in the row behind him who were passing a pipe among themselves.
"The whole stadium smelled like pot, and the kids behind us were smoking. I'm sitting there having fun, laughing," said Bloch. "Then I get an order to go with this man.
"They say, 'You're leaving, give us your ticket.' I held it up, they took it. At that point they grabbed me by my arms to take me out, so I threw my hands up and said, 'You've got to keep off me. I'm no threat.' "
Page Six witnessed three security guards then spin Bloch around and pin him against the corridor wall. One, who refused to give us his name and flipped his identity pass around so we couldn't see it, gave Bloch a sharp jab in the left rib.
"I had nothing in my pockets, not even a match. They never asked for ID, never asked for my name. It was complete brutality," said Bloch, who was tossed out a side door. "One pushed me out with his knee in my back. I still can't wrap my head around this."
Butter owner Richie Akiva and a gal pal were also stopped on their way backstage. "Security grabbed the girl and yanked her," said a witness. "The guards got hot-headed and he was sticking up for her. They took him to a room to interrogate him."
"MSG policy is if you are caught smoking an illegal substance it's cause for immediate ejection," said Garden rep Barry Watkins.
