The Famous: Watching the Watched
  • A magnet for trouble. - FilmMagicSnooki is facing some decidedly un-chill (we're trying to use her language here) fallout from the car accident she was involved in over the weekend.

    After the "Jersey Shore" star hit a cop car in Florence, Italy on Monday afternoon (co-star and fellow "meatball" Deena Nicole was in the front seat of the Fiat Multipla she was driving), Snooki's license was revoked, according to Us Weekly. Additionally, Snooks might be heading to court in light of the incident, which sent two Italian police officers to the hospital for minor injuries.

    While she is not likely to tried in criminal court, she could face a civil action suit from the two officers, who, it turns out, had been hired to help escort her through the city.

    The two cops have 90 days to decide whether or not to press charges against Snooki, per Italian law.

    Snooki -- who did not have any alcohol in her system at the time of the crash -- was seen in a neck brace Tuesday.

    Meanwhile, with all of this drama -- as well as word of a

  • They've been together since 2006. - WireImageNick Lachey and Minnillo's sunset wedding shower was more of a "giant engagement celebration," an eyewitness tells The Famous.

    Case in point: Around 150 guests toasted the soon-to-be-marrieds on the rooftop of the London Hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday night. That's the head count for a mid-sized wedding! VIPs included Matt Leinart, as well as Drew Lachey and his wife, Lea; the roster of partygoers, however, was decidedly limited to non-famous family and friends. (Alas, no soap-operatic Jessica Simpson cameo.)

    "They were holding hands throughout the party and just seemed really excited to have everyone around them," says our source of Lachey and Minnillo, adding: "They are the most normal, cool-ass people."

    The pair registered at Williams-Sonoma and Geary's, and presents included Waterford crystal champagne glasses, People.com reports. The night became a dance party, thanks to a hired deejay, and guests chowed down on cuisine by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

    While the date and

  • FilmMagicMTVSo this might not happen but if it did, how awesome: Aubrey Plaza, who steals every scene she's in as the droll and sardonic April on "Parks and Rec," has been elected  the best actress to play the hypothetical lead in a live-action version of "Daria," which is basically the greatest cult '90s cartoon of all time. (Lo siento, Beavis and Butthead.) In a poll on MTV's Clutch blog, voters picked Plaza over other Daria doppelgangers like Ellen Page and Zooey Deschanel.

    Plaza accepted the gig on Twitter, quipping that she wants "$2 mil & for all the people bitching that I always do the same character ... this will be my big blowout."

    Which begs the question: Can she do both "Parks and Rec" and the Daria update? MAKE IT HAPPEN, MTV.

  • No. 1 D-Bag. - ABCDid you see "The Bachelorette" last night? It was high drama, and nobody was a bigger douche than Bentley "I'm Not Feeling It" Williams, the meanest contestant in the series' history. The 28-year-old divorced dad from Tampa talks a bunch of smack behind Ashley Hebert's back, and makes no secret that he wishes Emily Maynard was the titular bachelorette. (Single mom Maynard won the final rose over the perky dentist on Brad Womack's season of "The Bachelor." It's a sore subject for Hebert.)

    Even though Wiliams wants nothing to do with her, he still wants a rose. Witness the undiagnosed sociopath's most heinous quotes:

    On being a douche: "The competition makes it exciting, competing for her. That's the extent in terms of my interest. You know, I mean, she's just not my type."

    On marrying Ashley: "I mean, that just sounds terrible. I would literally rather be, like, swimming in pee than trying to plan my wedding with her. Because I'm not thinking like, omigosh, this is like the girl of my

  • Meet A Very Obsessive Katy Perry Fan

    This mini-documentary from filmmaker Olly Newport introduces the world to Jack Moore, a Katy Perry superfan whose wall is covered in pictures of his pop idol.

    Katy & I from Olly Newport on Vimeo.

     

    Yeah, there is definitely a creepy element to this (the look in his eyes when he talks about Perry is what caused us to cringe), but it all seems relatively innocuous. Though we imagine his family (whom Moore notes he likes less than Perry) might have a different opinion.

    Check it out here.

  • The July cover. - Vanity FairNow that we're about a month out from the Royal Wedding, we desperately needed an injection of Kate/William news to keep us afloat (one can subsist on pictures of Pippa Middleton walking around Europe only for so long). Thankfully, Vanity Fair was happy to oblige, devoting their July cover to the couple.

    The shot here is from the set taken by Mario Testino after the pair's engagement last fall (several of which were released as the official engagement photos). This one is an extreme close-up that manages to come across as fairly intimate, the kind of picture you might take of your friends while you're sitting around a table at dinner. ("Too close!" Kate might say. "It's fine, you look great!" you'd respond.)

    While the corresponding article won't be out in full until Thursday, the Daily Mail says the piece will take a look at the couple's path to marriage (because no one knows anything about that) but will also include quirky little details, such as what they requested on their

  • The T-shirt says it all. - FilmMagicHere's what went down in celebrityville while we ate hot dogs this Memorial Day Weekend:

    *Snooki was involved in a fender bender on Monday in Florence when she crashed into a police car driven by an escort hired for her personal safety. The "Jersey Shore" tanning enthusiast and scholar filed an accident report, but refused medical treatment. Back to the beach!

    *Sad news: Singer Sean Kingston remains in critical condition following a jet ski accident in Miami on Sunday morning. Contrary to reports, there was no alcohol in his system.

    *Maria Shriver spent QT with her kids on the beach. Son Patrick tweeted, "Nothing could be better than going to hit up the Malibu house!" Meanwhile, Arnold rode his bike.

    *Adrianne Curry and Christopher Knight announced their separation after five years of marriage. Why are we sad about this?

    *An inconsolable Cheryl Cole refused to renew her gig on Britain's "X Factor" after being unceremoniously dumped by Simon Cowell for the American edition. Cole's

  • Rihanna and Rob Kardashian Flirt on Twitter

    "Popcorn and remote in hand." - Jordan Strauss/WireImageNothing's more fun that two celebrities tweeting at each other in a vaguely flirty way, right? Right. Nothing is more fun than that.

    This is an exchange Rihanna and Rob Kardashian had on Twitter late last night:

    Rihanna, tweeting at "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada, letting her know she was watching "Wives": @EvelynLozada ugh! DUH!!! Popcorn and remote in hand

    Rob (we're not entirely sure what he means here, but it seems suggestive): I CAN MAKE THIS RIGHT HERE HAPPEN. RT@rihanna @EvelynLozada ugh! DUH!!! Popcorn and remote in hand

    Rihanna: @RobKardashian its past ur bedtime

    Rob: @rihanna You can put me to bed ;)

    Predictably, this exchange already has some gossip blogs conjecturing Rihanna is going to be Rob's date to sister Kim's upcoming wedding, which is ridiculous.

    Interesting fact: even though it seems like Rihanna's been around forever and Rob has his whole little pal brother persona, Rob is actually a year older than Rihanna.

  • Courtney and Gaga, circa February 2010. - Dave M. Benett/Getty ImagesShock: Courtney Love lacks a filter when it comes to bashing other celebrities, and Lady Gaga is no exception.

    "She may be doing fine at the moment, but I'm worried about her future," Love tells The Fix. "She's very young, and she's very talented, but she doesn't seem to have any female friends. Or any straight guy friends for that matter. Instead, she surrounds herself with this coterie of gay stylists and advisors who've turned her into this weird, sexless Barbie Doll."

    She adds: "I was raised by gay guys myself, and I turned out all right in the end. But you know, you can only pull off this meat-dress act for so long. If she doesn't want out she'll turn into a lonely drag queen. Straight guys just aren't into that kind of thing."

    Ouch. Then again, perhaps the chronic oversharer has a point: do you know many straight men who dig Gaga? We sure don't. Oh wait! We found one.

  • Yes, yes, yes. - Marc Broussely/RedfernsAmy Winehouse is, yes, returning to rehab once again.

    The 27-year-old singer checked into The Priory rehab clinic on Wednesday, making a quick stop on her way there at a grocery store in North London where she picked up a minature bottle of Smirnoff. There could be jokes made here, clearly, but it all seems too sad.

    A witness told the Sun that she did not seem in the best condition during this pre-rehab pit stop.

    "She seemed out of it," the "onlooker" said. "She was stumbling about, slurring her words. I was shocked to see her buy vodka so early in the day, and even more shocked to see her knock it straight back."

    Winehouse's rep told the Daily Mail that the singer decided to check into the center because "she wants to be ready for performances in Europe this summer and decided to seek an assessment. She will remain at The Priory on doctors' advice."

    Winehouse previously spent time in rehab in 2008 due to her issues with drugs and alcohol.
