You know how sometimes you hear somebody say “I think I’ve died and gone to heaven”? Like when their big date has gone well, their team wins the title or their rotten boss gets fired?
Well, I think I’ve died and gone to hell: Justin Bieber’s Christmas album turns out to contain a version of the most loathsome, artificial, manipulative and saccharine of all holiday ditties – the dread Little Drummer Boy. It’s a duet with Busta Rhymes.
I can’t imagine a more horrible piece of “music.” Evil though our world may be, it has done nothing to deserve this horror. With my luck I’ll get stuck in an elevator some weekend with this thing on Muzak repeat.
Still, at least it wasn’t a duet with Céline Dion.
I just want to see the pictures: Pippa Middleton is talking to a literary agent about a book deal, says the London Sunday Times.
It would be about how to throw a great party, and with spinoffs it could earn her £1 million ($1.6 million), according to the paper.
Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake – who’s back with Jessica Biel – told the British edition of Esquire mag that “us American males are big fans of Pippa. … I’m going to sound like a sleazeball. I’m going to stop right there.”
Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo got an email with sexy photos from a nubile Dutch fan – and by mistake forwarded them to everyone in his phone’s address book, including his fiancée, Irina Shayk.
The Mirror says the pix “show the very attractive female fan in … semi-naked poses.”
Elisabetta Canalis has spoken up about George Clooney, and while the words are positive, she kind of slips the knife in. Or does she?
In a book called Questo Amore (This Love), by Italian journo Bruno Vespa, Liz goes on about what a great guy Clooney is, but also says “he has been special for me, and very important, just as a father would be. … Between us there was more of a father-daughter relationship. I was unable to clarify this up until now.”
Hmmm. She’s 33; he’s 50.
Ever hear of Lisa Tchenguiz? Me neither, but the Telegraph calls her “the woman in line for the world’s biggest divorce payout.”
Now 45, Iranian-born Lisa had a knock-down, drag-out 30-month British legal fight in divorcing South African Vivian Imerman, somebody else I never heard of. The Telly calls him a “food and drinks entrepreneur” worth maybe $600 million. The size of her settlement is still at issue; she wants $160 million.
The two spent six years together, but then she caught him in the sack with his first wife.
Lisa’s in the headlines this week after telling the British papers that it’s hell being a trophy wife.
Susan Sarandon’s daughter, Eva Amurri, married one Kyle Martino in Charleston, S.C., on Saturday. The groom, a former Major League Soccer player, is now a soccer commentator.
Eva’s an actress working mostly in forgettable TV projects. She’s 26.
