Last week at Pam Anderson's Comedy Central roast, a disheveled and curvy Courtney Love was on the red carpet flapping her gums about her "sobriety." She said to Access Hollywood: "I am sober for over a year now, but no one cares. It's all about the weight gain." Whelp, it seems as if Court was telling a big fat fib. Yesterday, a Los Angeles judge issued a bench warrant for Ms. (desperately in

We don't like to admit this, but Jennifer Lopez has a lot going for her -- the movies, music, clothing line, perfume and all the other crap she's pushing. But Jenny from the Block is lacking something huge: taste in men. And we've become a little concerned that her most recent mismatch, creepy hubby Marc Anthony, is so awestruck over scoring such a babe that he's crazy obsessed with her. Every

Lindsay Lohan is tokin' -- about her drug use. Apparently the teen star, who vowed never to touch drugs because her nutcase father is an addict, admits that she has smoked pot. However, Lindsay, who did inhale, said she hated the experience because of the side effects. The rail-thin actress flatly denied using cocaine, saying, "I've seen how it messes families up. If I hadn't experienced that, I

Christy Turlington is expecting another superbaby with hubby Ed Burns. They already have a 22-month-old daughter, Grace. Nicole Richie denies that the fourth season of The Simple Life will revolve around her upcoming wedding to DJ AM. "I would never put my own personal marriage [plans] on television," she said. That's probably because she has some other deal in the works. The first couple of the

Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen may have put those divorce plans on hold. In these telling photos, it looks to us like a reunion may be in the works. Though there’s been no official announcement of a reconciliation, we don't know too many on-the-brink-of-divorce couples who embrace like that. Cuss and scream at each other? Yes. Hug and kiss? No.

Oh, the irony. Jessica Simpson, who slimmed waaay down earlier this year so that she could comfortably fit in her Daisy Duke shorts -- and show off as much of her ass as possible -- is peddling a retail line of jeans for plus-size women. The $59 pants, available at Avenue stores, will fit sizes 12 to 24. "We have people 300 pounds or 90 pounds come up to Jessica and say, 'I'm just like you,'"

Hate to say we told you so, but this is our blog, so we can. Back in December when everyone was raving about Sienna Miller's "original" boho chic style, we bashed her in our year-end style wrap-up, saying she stole her look from Kate Moss. Well, finally we're getting some support. Lindsay Lohan recently said that while she admires SeeSee's fashion sense, the British style icon stole her bohemian

We Predict a Riot! Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, whose band has had tremendous success this year, said that the Chiefs have no intention of spending the next 20 years together, and that their next album will be their last.

Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams are finally out of the closet with their romance. It's about time -- the girl is getting so big, there's no way to avoid it. Here's a pic of the expectant couple at Heath's premiere of The Brothers Grimm on Monday. Usually the parents of young twins have that dazed and confused look on their faces all the time.

EMI, meanwhile, actually paid good money for the official DVD rights,
