Hefner's Shannon Twins Packing Legal Baggage
Hugh Hefner's new gal-pals aren't quite as innocent as they look. Um, anyway? Florida police records show that 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, who appear to be seeking permanent quarters in the Playboy Mansion, are currently on probation for a battery bust in St. Petersberg. The sisters were arrested in the early morning hours of Jan. 10 and booked on suspicion of felony aggravated battery, per arrest reports obtained by E! News. They were released from custody after posting $10,000 bonds and were later given probation and ordered to pay restitution for the incident, the details of which have not been determined just yet. Prior to that run-in with the law, Karissa Shannon was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery last November. No further information about their dual arrests was available, but their records do indicate that the blonde, blue-eyed twins aren't exactly identical.
Christina Aguilera's New Look: Love It or Loathe It?
Christina Aguilera's about to put out her first greatest-hits album, Keeps Gettin' Better?A Decade of Hits, which goes on presale at Target.com Sept. 30. (It doesn't hit stores till Nov. 11.)
That's great and all, but the only thing we can think of when we stare at this album cover is: Ten years in the Biz and the best she could do is Tammy Faye Bakker's lashes and some frosted lipstick?!
Should Xtina go back to the drawing board, or do you like her campy face full of makeup?
The View to a Thrill: The Eurythmics Method
Usually a hotbed of friendly hostility onscreen, The View was reportedly a hotbed of good vibrations backstage this week. That's because musician and erotic boutique owner Dave Stewart, of Eurhythmics fame, brought samples of his sex-shop wares for each of the show's divas.
Specifically, according to the gossips at Page Six, Stewart brought $325 gold vibrators for Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasselbeck, which had the women "atwitter over their present."
Needless to say, we expect the show to be really humming next week.
Tara Reid Ain't Getting Hitched
Tara Reid has no plans for marriage right now.
The 32-year-old actress' rep is shooting down a tabloid report that Reid and her fashion executive boyfriend, Julien Jarmoune, are engaged.
"Not true," the rep says. "It's just a bunch of lies and rumors."
The rep did, however, confirm that the two are dating.
Tila Tequila's Girlfriend: Not the Right Kind of Fine
This probably isn't the kind of shot that Tila Tequila was talking about.
Courtenay Semel, daughter of former Yahoo! mogul Terry Semel and current girlfriend of the equal-opportunity MTV star, was cited Wednesday in Las Vegas for misdemeanor battery after allegedly hitting a nightclub security guard on the back of the head.
Sex, Drugs and Saved By the Bell
Dustin Diamond, the geek (below right) who loved playing Screech so much he went around for seconds and then made a sex tape (not really related, but had to be said), will be dictating a Saved by the Bell tell-all to a ghostwriter.
Does that make you so excited? If not, this juicy tidbit ought to:
According to New York Magazine, Behind the Bell (cute title, no?) will feature "sexual escapades among castmembers, drug use and hardcore partying.”
Why, those are three of our favorite things! This the best news we've heard since Beverly Hills 90210 was making a comeback.
New and Improved Amy Winehouse Available in Wax
Madame Tussauds gave us a rare glimpse at what Amy Winehouse might look like if she were to stop using and abusing.
The famed wax museum unveiled this model of the punch happy singer today. Amy couldn't be present for this prestigious honor, because she's most likely too busy mourning the sentencing of her one true love for all eternity, Blake Fielder-Civil.
But that didn't stop her parents from showing up. After all, what's a Winehouse story without a quote from her good ol' pop, Mitch? And the word from Mitch: "Yeah, it’s great. We just said we’re going to take this one home with us and send the real one back."
Well, we can't really blame him.
Mischa Barton's Thirst for Life
Mischa Barton regrets last December's DUI. Really, she does.
"That was a low point for me," she says in the August issue of Nylon, on newsstands now. "I was disappointed because it associated me with a group of girls that I would rather not be associated with."
But darned if the actress, now living in Paris, is not gonna suck every last drop of bubbly out of her glass at the Hugo Boss fashion show in Berlin on Thursday.
Cheers to bad timing.
Exclusive
Ashley Dupré: Girl Gone Hollywood?
A little questionable P.R. doesn't seem to have scared Ashley Dupré away from the spotlight.
E! News has learned exclusively that the former high-priced prostitute at the center of the Eliot Spitzer scandal is developing a cable reality series and is considering moving from New York to Los Angeles.
Don't Mess With the Winehouse?
Fans, beware. Here comes Amy Winehouse's latest hit.
Video has surfaced showing the 24-year-old soul diva getting into a scuffle with a concertgoer during her performance at Britain's Glastonbury music festival on Saturday.
The Grammy-winning singer appears to jab her elbow at the crowd while singing "Rehab" in the mosh pit. Seconds later, Winehouse angrily throws a couple punches.
Asked about the incident, Winehouse's rep said, "The 'lashing out' was when someone tried to grab her hair and she reacted."
What do you think? Did a fan get too close or did Amy make the first move?
Hirsch Needs Speed Eraser for His Wardrobe
Maybe Speed Racer star Emile Hirsch misunderstood the memo about how everybody who was anybody on the C-list was tying the knot this weekend (see Chris Kattan and Ruben Studdard items below).
Or maybe he had some crazy idea that his clothing should match the period of the architecture, which, since he was sightseeing in Paris' Place Vendôme with a couple of gal-pals, is decidedly old school. How else to explain the oversize silk bow tie and shiny silver suit?
Très lawn jockey, non?
