WEEKEND TABLOID & BLOG BS:
• Two diaries, written in 1992 and 1994 by the late Anna Nicole Smith, have been sold on eBay for more than $500,000 in total. Among the revelations in the diaries that were purchased by an anonymous German businessman: Anna Nicole hated sex, liked to party with her mother, and was horribly sad over the death of her cat. (Revelations worth about 5 cents … had she not offed herself in such a spectacular manner.)

• Meantime, one of her many, many, many ex-lovers, Larry Birkhead has trademarked the phrase “Good Night My Sweet Anna Baby”, the words he claims Anna Nicole Smith used to have him say to her before bedtime every night, for use in books, movies, TV programs, online endeavors and theater productions. Birkhead’s former attorney, Debra Opri, advised him to take the measure in order to ‘protect himself’. (Uh, from what?)

• Warner Bros Pictures has announced that all 3 original cast members of the ‘Harry Potter’ films have now signed to reprise their roles in the final 2 instalments of the series. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson & Rupert Grint are returning to play ‘Harry’, ‘Hermione’ & ‘Ron’ in “Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince” and “Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows”. Watson had been making noise about bolting the series. (Before her fat pay cheque was made even fatter.)

• The ex-Mrs Dave Navarro & ex-Mrs Dennis Rodman, 34-year-old sometime actress Carmen Electra, has been telling friends she’s planning to drop a ‘bombshell’ at one of the year’s most anticipated gay gatherings, the 4-day “Dinah Shore Weekend” in Palm Springs CA later THIS MONTH. The ‘bombshell’ is likely what “BS” told you about months ago – she and 46-year-old classic rocker Joan Jett are an item. Electra has apparently had a secret crush ever since she saw Jett in a music video wearing a bikini … when Carmen was just 8-years-old. (How touching.)
– “Daily Dish”
• Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt’s new son Pax Jolie is quickly getting into show biz. It’s reported he’ll make a whopping $2 million for a photo spread in the upcoming issue of “People” magazine, in much the same way the first photos of his half-sister Shiloh were peddled. A spokesperson for “People” has called the amount ‘absurd’. (Well that’s the truth … but you didn’t deny it, did you?)
– HecklerSpray.com
• While Heather Mills dances with the stars her soon-to-be-ex-hubby, 64-year-old Paul McCartney, is getting hot ‘n heavy with a new squeeze: 52-year-old Sabrina Guinness of, yes, the Guinness beer empire. McCartney admits they enjoy each other’s company and often engage in conversations about ‘stuff like the environment and Al Gore’. (What could possibly be more romantic?)
– “Daily Mail”
• Elvis Presley, George Burns & James Brown are all alive and kickin’ for a new ABC-TV reality show, “The Next Best Thing”, which will search for the best celebrity impersonator. After recent auditions, famous look-alikes caused more than a few double-takes on the streets of New York. Other doppelgangers that may show up on the show: Kenny Chesney and John Travolta. (The skinny early John … or the fat after-Scientology John?)

• Most guys would love to have Denise Richards smack them around a bit, but 2 photogs are suing her for damages for allegedly doing just that while filming the movie “Blonde & Blonder” in Vancouver LAST YEAR. According to papers just-filed in LA Superior Court, Richards also threw laptops belonging to the paparazzi off a hotel balcony. Richards’s co-star Pam Anderson is also named in the suit for making false defamatory statements which have allegedly hampered the poor star-chasers’ careers. (Speaking of ‘hampering a career’, this movie is apparently so lame, it doesn’t even have a release date scheduled!)

BS MUSIC NOTES:
• Elton John – Starting TODAY, the just-turned-60-year-old is making his entire music catalogue available online for the first time (at least legally), exclusively through the iTunes Music Store through APRIL 30th, before releasing it to other digital outlets. The generation that actually downloads music will likely be asking, “Who the hell’s Elton John?”.
• Eminem – TODAY he’s due to appear in a Michigan court for a ruling on a motion he filed that seeks to prevent ex-wife Kim Mathers from making negative comments about him in public. The retired rapper claims the remarks could harm their 11-year-old daughter Hailie.
• Joss Stone – TONIGHT the Brit soul singer does “Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson” (CBS).
• Mika – TONIGHT the London-based “Grace Kelly” singer performs on the “Tonight Show With Jay Leno” (NBC/A Channel).
• Nas – TONIGHT he’s on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (ABC).
• Panic! At The Disco – TONIGHT they guest on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” (NBC).
• Rascal Flatts – Their 5th, as yet-untitled, album will be released SEPTEMBER 25th.
• Snoop Dogg – The British government has refused him the visa he needs to perform in his co-headlining tour with Diddy in the UK. Snoop says he’s mystified as to why. Hmm, could it be that melée at Heathrow Airport a year ago, when he & 5 members of his posse were arrested?
• Sting – THIS MORNING he’s on “Live With Regis & Kelly” (syndicated/CTV).
• Waylon Jennings – The late singer’s 1980 theme from TV’s “The Dukes of Hazzard”, subtitled “Good Ol’ Boys”, has just been certified as country music’s first Platinum mastertone for sales of 1 million ringtones. A ‘mastertone’ uses the original recording rather than a synthesized instrumental version.
TODAY’S SHOW BIZ SCHED:
• The Broward County FL Medical Examiner’s Office will reveal Anna Nicole Smith’s autopsy results in a press conference scheduled for 10:30 am EDT (“National Enquirer” claims the announcement will be that a toxic level of the sleeping medication chloral hydrate was the cause of death). Meanwhile, the official inquest into the cause of her son Daniel’s death is scheduled to proceed in the Bahamas, with Howard K Stern expected to be the star witness.
• The 18th annual “GLAAD Media Awards” are presented by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation at NYC’s Marriott Marquis hotel. Whoopi Goldberg opens the show, which will also be attended by actresses Julianne Moore & Cynthia Nixon, TV personality Rosie O’Donnell, and singer Hilary Duff.
• Court papers will be filed in NYC seeking the exhumation of the body of world famous magician Harry Houdini, who died in Detroit MI at age 52 on OCTOBER 31, 1926. His grandnephew is spearheading the move to determine if Houdini was actually murdered, as has often been rumored. The official story has always been that he died of a ruptured appendix, caused by repeated punches to the stomach by a McGill University student after a show in Montréal as a test of his famous physical strength.
MASTER RACE OF THE FUTURE?
An evolutionary theorist from the London School of Economics predicts that human evolution will peak in about a 1,000 years as we evolve into a coffee-colored race who live around 120 years. Dr Oliver Curry also predicts we’ll be healthier, thanks to improved nutrition, lifestyle, and medical knowledge. However, he warns there will eventually be a downside to all this: A genetic ‘upper class’ will develop that’s taller, healthier, more attractive and intelligent, while the underclass devolves into what he describes as dim-witted, ugly and squat goblin-like creatures. (This guy apparently conducted his ‘research’ by seeing the movie “Gattaca” 87 times.)

THE EYES HAVE IT:
False eyelashes, which went mainstream a few years ago, are reaching longer and longer lengths. Nowadays, some women who are tired of putting on the fake kind are paying hundreds of dollars for eyelash implants or extensions that last from a few weeks to a few months. Some surgeons are even doing ‘eyelash transplants’ for $3,000 … per eye. (But keep in mind they’re tax deductible … if you’re a ‘professional’.)

WE’RE ALL A BUNCH OF FREAKS:
Highlights of the world’s largest-ever survey on fetishes …
• 64% admit of us having a fetish for shoes, boots & other footwear.
• 47% are turned on by feet and/or toes.
• 12% are really into underwear.
• 9% [tie] like either coats / body fluids / body size.
• 7% get really hot for hair.
On the other end of the scale, the lowest scores go to ears, noses, stethoscopes, wristwatches, bracelets, diapers, catheters, and body odor. The researchers have also found 150 people who are turned on by hearing aids … and 2 who get all hot and bothered by pacemakers.
– “The Independent”
MMM, TASTES LIKE RIGHT GUARD:
According to a Japanese chewing gum manufacturer, gum that only freshens your breath is a thing of the past. The company’s new ‘Fuwarinka’ chewing gum purportedly tackles all body odor. Just a half-hour of chewing the stuff is said to change your body chemistry enough so that you emit a ‘special aroma’. The deodorant gum comes in ‘fresh citrus’, ‘fruity rose’, and ‘Otokokaoru rose’ for men. ([Co-host] says he doesn’t use this stuff because it’s too difficult to chew gum and sweat at the same time.)
