Liv Tyler is officially awesome in my book. Listen to what she did: she witnessed a lady, possibly Grandma, totally screaming at a crying toddler. When Liv went over and tried to comfort the child by smiling at it, the lady angrily yelled at her and told her it was “none of her business”. Liv made sure the child was okay, then calmly went over to her car and called 911. GO LIV!

Seriously, I love it when people do this, because so often those kids don’t have anyone to defend them. If you see a kid who looks like he is in danger or distress and the adults around him are adding to it, STEP FORWARD and do something about it. Even if there’s nothing going on, wouldn’t you rather be wrong instead of right? You’ll regret it if you don’t.

For example, I was in the library last summer, and some kid was seriously doing the whole Exorcist thing in the lobby. I walked out there to see what the hale was going on, and Grandma was out there with little Tommy who refused to go into Storytime without a freaking snack. She was beyond frazzled. I talked to her for a while, Tommy calmed down, Grandma calmed down, everything was cool. Lots of times, parents, especially mommies, need someone to say “hey, I’ve been there, it’s okay, let’s talk about it”. Kids can get NUTS sometimes, but the people around them JUST CAN’T. Sucks, but there it is.

Here are some pics of the incident with Liv Tyler:

The ongoing saga between mom Candy Spelling and daughter Tori Spelling just keeps going. The latest? Even though Tori invited Candy to her daughter Stella’s first birthday party, Candy bailed at the last minute and decided not to come. Why? Well, because the birthday party was reportedly being filmed for Tori and Dean’s reality show, “Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood”.

But here’s the thing. Different sources are saying that Candy knew ahead of time that the party would be filmed, and that she was reassured, repeatedly, that she would not be on camera whatsoever. So who knows, really…the drama between these two is hard to watch and I wish they would just solve their differences. Life is too short. Plus, my Spidey sense tells me that Miss Tori is the one causing all these issues; like she is going to use this in the show of her kid’s birthday party, crying her eyes out about how her awful mommy has ruined her life, boo hoo hoo. Whatever! If I was Candy, I’d have moved heaven and earth to see my grandkids, even if I had to smack Tori around a bit. Shoot, it could even improve her looks, who knows?

Yesterday (Monday) was Memorial Day, and in Washington DC celebrities turned out for the 20th Anniversary of the National Memorial Day Concert. It’s actually a very moving event; I try to watch it every year (or catch it later on PBS!). Here’s some great pics of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes; Katie was part of the concert, giving a dramatic reading of the story of Iraq war veteran Jose Pequeno, hismother Nellie Bagley and sister Elizabeth. Here are the pics:

I love how celebrities try to be like us “normal people” and extol how they need to take a break because they are so damn EXHAUSTED from their busy schedule of making movies, attending premieres, counting their money pile, and taking multiple vacations. You know, because NORMAL people take a break any freaking time they feel like it -screw the mortgage and the kids, right? Yeah!

So Jennifer Aniston is taking this route, and here’s what one of her handlers had to say:

“Jen has been pouring herself into this role [The Baster] while at the same time jetting off to promote Management. Her life is hectic anyway with her producing responsibilities and the pressure of being in the public eye all the time. It all just caught up with her in the last few days so she’s been told to take a break. She’s exhausted.”

Oh, boo hoo! She’s probably just worn out from carrying that giant chin around.

In the newest issue of Allure, Jessica Biel wants us all to know that being pretty is DAMN HARD, yalls. Okay? You just keep away with your petty problems, like getting a job, paying your mortgage, keeping your kid out of juvenile hall. Just cram it, Missy! YOU DON’T HAVE REAL PROBLEMS. Here’s what Miss Priss had to say:

Jessica Biel says her good looks are hurting her career.
“Yeah, it really is a problem,” Biel tells the June issue of Allure magazine. “I have to be blunt.”

What’s that I hear? Some kind of…..whiny little rich girl crying into her $50 martini? Aww, too bad!

Just what we all need - a mini Lindsay Lohan running around, right? There’s a delicious rumor going around that Lindsay’s skinny ass somehow has conceived a LoBaby, yet I’m somewhat skeptical since I don’t think she’s got reproductive organs, since you have to have food to support them (and she hasn’t eaten since “Parent Trap”). Anywhoodles, I’m thinking that White Oprah (Dina Lohan) is probably knitting booties and counting her coming residuals from this newest member of her bank account. Whoo hoo!

At the 36th annual Film Society of Lincoln Center Gala Tribute on Monday night in New York, where Oscar winner Tom Hanks was presented the new Chaplin Award, Julia Roberts made her feelings for Hanks known with some pretty descriptive language. Let’s just say that she said some VERY naughty words - which made me lurve her even more, if that were even possible. Here’s the video (remember, contains some naughty words!):

Here’s one of the quotes that she said:

“That movie about you and the airport and the accent was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn’t know. I love you, but I didn’t know … and I’m wearing the same [expletive] dress tonight as your publicist.”

And add this to the long list of reasons why I love me some Drew Barrymore! The naturally curvaceous star says that she refuses to diet; basically stating that she doesn’t believe in starving herself. Here we go:

“My top beauty and fitness tip is to eat whatever you want in smaller increments but don’t starve yourself to societal pressures. And I love to exercise because it makes me feel good about myself.”

Absolutely! If more people followed this simple advice, we wouldn’t have so many body issue problems with 10 year olds starving themselves to the point they start growing monkey hair on their elbows and getting bloody noses. Plus, guys don’t like super skinny women - they feel like they’re going to break in half when you hug them, and who wants that? Messy messy!

Order now while supplies last! Here’s Denise Richards making fun of herself in a great Funny or Die parody.

Anyone who WILLINGLY married Charlie Sheen has the right to have a little fun, don’t you think? I still am just flabbergasted that he is able to continue to fool women into thinking he’s a nice guy. I guess a huge bank account helps though, right?

SQWEEEEE! Okay, so if you are a fan of Patricia Cornwell’s Scarpetta series, you will LOVE this news: Angelina Jolie has signed on to play the famous forensic scientist in an adaptation of the books. Now, there are 16 Scarpetta novels in all, and I guess this movie isn’t based on one specific novel, but who cares? It’s KAY SCARPETTA!!! And Angelina Jolie! My head might explode!!!
