I guess the new thing in Hollywood is, “If you don’t like your face, replace.”

I’m not really sure if Ashlee Simpson is desperately trying to look more like her sister, Jessica Simpson or Drew Barrymore. Ashlee got some new lips to go with her new nose. Maybe Dr. 90210 was giving a two-for-one special. Free collagen with every tummy tuck or rhinoplasty.

Now here is Ashlee ‘ala natural.

True, she was no raging beauty but by conventional means, she was definitely a cute girl. And I don’t know, call me crazy but I find that sometimes the quirks about someone are what makes them appealing. I’ve never been kissing on no fake lips and I’m really not sure that I would want to. It just seems too…weird.

Mischa Barton’s sudden split from the OC left the fans wondering, what happened? Was this a long time coming, her choice, that of the producers?

Mischa made it no secret that she wanted off the show. Plain and simple, she wants to move onto new things like she moved on from Cisco. What most Hollywood celebs dream of, doing features. Mischa was being offered film roles but was not able to take them due to her time constraints and contractual commitment to the OC.

Now that she’s a free agent will that make this golden star more desireable or will she fall on the wayside like most TV celebs who try to make the transition?

I figure if she keeps the Bebe add campaign in her pocket she will not be shy on cash. And well, let’s face it, raise your hand if you watched Mischa for her acting. Okay, now raise your hand if you watched her ’cause you thought she was hot. Exxxactly!

Hunky Matrix star, Keanu Reaves was seen hiking at Runyon Canyon today. Those that are looking to see stars trapsing around town will typically go to Hollywood hotspots like Koi or Mood. Little known secret is celebrities like to breath fresh air too and they do this in their own backyard.

Runyon Canyon is a one hour hike through a mountainous terrain that stands between Hollywood and the Valley. From dawn ’til dusk you can find spandex wearing, aerbosizing hipsters walking their dogs, riding bikes or running this challenging course.

Upon my many travels there I have seen Jake Gyllenhaal shirtless, twice, Cameron Diaz getting dropped off by her limo, a grumpy looking Matthew Perry, a running and sweating profusely Matthew McConaughey, both JC Chasez and Maggie Gyllenhaal gave me a friendly smile as they passed and really too many to list.

If your are looking for a way to get in shape before you slip into that summer bikini, this is the place. It’s free, you won’t get a better work out and the view is nothing but greenery and pretty people as far as the eye can see. This is a true Hollywood haunt.

X-Men: The Last Stand, manages to take the most compelling comic books series of all time and turn it into exactly what most people expect of comics – fluffy kid’s stuff.

This lackluster 3rd installment to the X: Trilogy as a movie was…all right. As an X-Men story it was pretty much garbage. If Brett Fatner spent half his time on his career as opposed to chasing 19 yr-old girls and making a public ass of himself, he might make a decent film.

This is my interpretation of Brett directing:

“Storyline, storyline, blah, blah, when are we going to blow something up? Uh, yeah, can you have the second AD film this shot? Rebecca’s having her blue make-up put on and I…wanna go over her lines with her.”

Brett attempted to mesh two opposing storylines together that were not like peanut butter and chocolate. The Dark Phoenix Saga, Chris Claremont’s fictional masterpiece was skimmed over and given not even an ounce of the weight that the 10 cent comic managed to hold. Brett managed to slaughter off more characters than a day in Iraq, killing off multiple future storylines with one swoop.

The only thing I was truly happy about was seeing my favorite character, Kitty Pryde get some actual screen time.

The film opened to the biggest gross ever on a Friday with $45.5M and also one of the biggest drops of 29% by the following Saturday.

“Super hero sequels typically draw immense numbers on the first day due to fan hysteria so a Saturday drop was expected. But, the decline was extraordinarily large and could indicate that fans are not liking the new film as much as the first two.”

Sure, it’s not an awful movie but we really came to expect a lot more after the Bryan Singer installments and to not talk down to the audience with vaguely crafted storylines and pretty explosions.

In order to save this money making franchise, someone please turn over the reigns to a director that has actually read a comic book. Joss Whedon, for example. Who, if you all remember, was hired to do rewrites on the X-III script. Joss’s response was that the entire thing needed to be rewritten. Needless to say, Joss was taken off the job…but Joss was right.

So pretty much, if Fatner doesn’t go I will.

Wow, I need to be hanging out at Hollywood Cafe’s more often. Who knew that there was free sex per table. Megan Fox gives some under table lovin’ to her man, Brian Austin Green.

I wonder if he tipped her.

She’s a keeper!

Okay, now this is some funny shizit! If you do nothing else today check out this site!!! Fans are actually banning together with petitions, signs, you name it, in a plea to get Britney Spears back as their reigning pop princess.

“We at BringBackBritney.com hold firm that a hosed-down scantily clad Britney Spears is vital to the livelihood of millions of Americans. We will not sit sliently as she sullies her persona in the public eye; that of a Kabbalah chasing,, non seatbelt wearing, ovary farm for any two-bit backup dancer to take advantage of. This is not the Britney we hold in high regard.”

It has now been taken to a new level and I LOVE it!!!!

I don’t know if Jared Leto is messing with us or if this is for reals, but the word “I’m gay,” came straight out of Mr. Leto’s mouth in a recent interview.

I can think of a few guys that would be very happy if it were true. Go read for yourselves and judge.

I guess the trailer park romance was not meant to last. The pregnant Britney Spears finally said enough’s enough and threw the feeloading Kevin Federline out with the trash.

Apparently Kevin has spent three of the last four nights in the Sherman Oaks crib of one of his homies. He’s probably there just chillin’ smoking crack, hiring strippers and the like.

I live a hop-skip-and-a-jump from Sherman Oaks and I’m only two degrees of seperation from ol’ Federsleazy. I really hope I don’t see him in my hood ’cause I really don’t think I’d be able to contain my laughter. Sucka!

The rapper wannabe’s latest song, American’s Most Hated has lyrics, such as, “I’ve got 50 mill, I can do whatever I want.” Huh, I wonder how far his rapping career is going to go without Britney foothing the bill?

I expect K-Fed will soon be serving me Nachos Bell Grande at the local Taco Bell.

Mr. T turned…really old this week. What a role model. From shooting up drug runners and gangsta’s with The A-Team to threatening children during cartoon commercial breaks to stay in school and don’t do drugs.

Those words held weight with me as a child. When an an oversized black man with a mohawk and enough gold to weigh down a gorilla points at me through the television set…I listen.

“I pity the fool!’ or, “I don’t take orders from no chipmunk!” was sage advice from a very wise man.

So hears to the toughest man in the world!
