Pinchy Pepper can have whatever she wants. Indeed, when she was in the heyday
of her four minutes of teenybopper fame, she never let us forget--not even
for an over-mouth-lined minute--that she was all about the money. Then she
hooked up with someone who rakes in more cashola than most hunks dream of
possessing in Hollywood. Oh, and the partner-unit's hot, too. Okay, that's
an understatement. He's the anti-Federline: handsome, hardworking and
independent. And to top it off, said hubby reeks of the right stuff (sweat),
not wrong crap (fag smoke). So, Pinchy has it all. Such a couture gal, P.P.
would never be seen anywhere near a sale rack. But this skinny mumsy does
have an economical streak--when it comes to her two blessed babies. What
a surprise in celebrity-dom, huh? Here's the deal: Double P.'s been on the

Face it, he's one of the better (let alone best) looking young actors on
the international scene. The guy has women flocking to him, but he sure has
some mighty peculiar personal habits in the bedroom. Perhaps highest on the
list of his freaky behavior is his penchant for lovingly undressing his partners
but, just when he should be getting busy, he seems far more intent on pleasuring
himself all on his own by sniffing their clothes while the women have not
much else to do than twiddle their thumbs. No wonder he doesn't hold a
relationship for more than a couple of dates.

In kindergarten, we all learn to treat others the way we want to be treated,
correct? I'm gonna guess that Bigmouth Bruce was absent that day. He musta
been. Why else would he walk into a cable network that is so not about the
gossip and proceed to pitch a scandal-driven gossip show? Yep. B.B. (who
has been nominated for an Academy Award, mind you) flashed his Joker-esque
grin as he greased up his pitch to execs: "I'm friends with everyone in
Hollywood, and I can tell you all their secrets!" The development folks nearly
peed in their corduroy pants--and I'm not talkin' good involuntary urination
release, either. Plus, Big-Mouth showed up for his meeting alone, which is
highly unusual in pitch land. Now, I know you babes roll yer eyes when I
mention nose candy in these Blinds, but this is a special occasion. B.-M.
Bruce was wired. Eyes buggin', hands flailing--he was more fired up than
the insane characters he's played (and Bruce has had some amazing roles),
saying he'd even be outing some folks. How very charming. Executive Row was
not interested. They declined, probably too politely. But Big-Mouth finally

Picture it. The Emmys. The red carpet. Media outlets flown in from all over
the world. Flashbulbs blinding you, the common folk. Every journo trying
to outscream his neighbor: "Hey, Teri! Over here!" And no place are celebs
more mindful of their tongues and eyes (and other bod parts) than this overly
recorded spot, take it from me. Ask a TV star what she's wearing, and she'll
look at her publicist for permission to answer. The carpet is not a place
for people to flap their gums. Well, unless you're Limp Chance. So, Limpy's
more celebrated wife is busy muggin' for the cameras. God knows Missus Chance
can never get enough press. Red carpet etiquette, mind you, calls for less
famous hubby to stand aside and smile while he waits on the wife-unit in
silence. Apparently, Limpy--who's also known for stirring up stories of same-sex
shenanigans away from his spouse--didn't get the memo. A reporter chick is
feeding batteries into her tape recorder. She sets her purse on a bench,
throws a press release on top. And that's where Limpy comes teetering over
on his high heels. Like a trend-seeking missile from W, L.C. bum-rushes the
reporter's personal space, ferreting out and grabbing her bag. "Oh my God!"
he screams. "This is Baby Phat! This is from the new line! These just came
out--these are really so gorgeous." And before anyone could ask a single
question, Limpy's bride came a-wranglin' and toted her purse-lovin' man on
down the carpet. We've all heard the rumors about Mr. Chance. But now I'm
convinced. I mean, I'm all for style. But I can't imagine blowing my wad
in public over a handbag, can you? IT ISN'T: Jerry O'Connell, Ben Affleck;

while he was in town for the event, the star required the charity to procure
him a suite at a lakeside hotel for the four days he was here and a personal
limo driver to be at his beck and call daily. Consider. # The Czar treatment:

One Hirsute, Hellraising 'n' Horny Blind Vice: It's not like there's anyone
alive who doesn't wish they could get a little nooky on the job. (Well, except
maybe Laura Bush.) I can hear the yell over the cubicle now: "Yo, boss, I'm
gonna head downstairs for some coffee and a little whoopee! Back in five!"
Yeah, right. But, hey, it wouldn't be such a salivating dream if you were
to spend a day in Barker Kümeselot's boxers. Perhaps you've heard stories
about this dirty dawg before. Yes, he gets around. And how. Oh sure, B.K.
has made more than a few trips to the Playboy Mansion. Yeah, he's lost his
cherry more than once in the grotto. (I knew I should have worn a wetsuit
when I filmed there last for E! News!) But look, bros 'n' sisses, Barker
is talented. So, we call him "eccentric." It's a nicer word than pervert,
doncha think? I mean, he's so special that without Barker K., Three and a
Half Pricks, his superhot TV show, would stink, bien sûr ! It's time
to knock on woody, though. Ya see, Barker still hasn't signed a new deal,
which is up sooner than it takes Paris to change stalls, I mean, men. And
Barker's friggin' barkin' for a bigger trailer, blah cushy this and blah
oversize that. Duh. Maybe because it's hard to have an orgy in a twin bed?
And it ain't Kiefer Sutherland, Josh Duhamel or Matthew Fox. Look, here's
the bottom line: Most everybody who toils away on Three is getting downright
grossed out by how many extras Bark bangs his way through. No discretion.
Whatever. His most pathetic excuse while his coworkers are made to wait during
B.K.'s trailer-rockin' rompings? "I was getting a pedicure." Must have been

Two Female-Trouble Blind Vices: Sex is pretty fun, right? We look forward
to it. George Michael was so right when he described it as "best when it's
one-on-one" (I think). But Petunia Pickle Pop seems to like it when it's
one-on-one with an audience of five. It was a late, cool night in the City
of Slippery Runways. P3 was positively exhausted from partying her nonexistent
butt off (like that's a clue in this nourishment-starved town). Or it coulda
been the booze she'd been guzzlin'. Regardless, P.P.P. managed to squish
her tush into a packed limo. Her posh pals followed--hey, when don't they?
You might say P. doesn't have an independent bone in her oft displayed bod.
But anyway, it's what she did next that's so shocking (to me, anyway). Ms.
Pickle Pop unzipped this random dude--who was just tagging along--and proceeded
to slurp him up and down and up and...yeah, it was about that romantic. If
I were P3, an almost mechanical sex toy of a gal, I'd market it. Like, maybe
she could produce blow-up dolls bearin' her likeness. You laugh, but with
this shameless lick-lass, it's hardly outta the robotic question. Then there's
our friend Eve Envy, who's far less famous than P3 but kinda robotish in
her own way. And E2 has somethin' I wouldn't wish on my fugliest foe: an
extremely famous diva sister. I can't even imagine the pressure. Add to that
her job--word around the office is that Eve's massively lackin' in the talent
department. These could be the demons that drove E.E. to snort some blow
in the middle of her super-high-profile workplace. Well, okay she wasn't
exactly Kate Mossing--she hid in a stall. But when she came bustin' out with
her trusty nose candy holder in hand, rubbin' her schnozz, the cover was,
shall we say, blown. Good thing E2 and P3 travel in such different circles.
Collectively, they could probably suck the souls outta this freakin' town.
