The Famous: Watching the Watched
  • Her face is frozen like that. - Scott Barbour/Getty ImagesThink the Situation's demands for promotional appearances are ridiculous? Think again. The Smoking Gun has gotten its hands on Katy Perry's 45-page concert rider, which surpasses Mariah levels of divadom.

    Among Perry's requirements:

    --Her dressing room must be draped in cream or soft pink, and outfitted with two cream-colored egg chairs, one with a footstool.

    --Drivers cannot talk to Perry, or look her directly in the eye. They can't speak to fans, or guests of the pop star. They are banned from staring at the backseat through the rearview mirror. Also, chaffeurs should not "ask for autographs for pictures, and especially not while driving!"

    --Perry's floral requests: "White and purple hydrangeas, pink & white roses and peonies. If those flowers are not on hand, she will settle for a "selection of seasonal white flowers to include white orchids." Noted, in Kanye-style all caps, "ABSOLUTELY NO CARNATIONS."

    Geez. What happened to simple star demands, like a roomful of apricot-scented

  • Justin Bieber To Launch A Women’s Fragrance

    If you start noticing that all girls from the ages of 7 to 23 smell identical to one another this summer, do not be alarmed.

    Justin Bieber will be releasing a fragrance for women called "Someday" (presumably as in, "Someday... Bieber will be yours, girls!") this June.

    "Let's be real, the way a girl smells is very important to a guy!" Bieber told Women's Wear Daily. "I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world."

    Bieber is apparently going to be involved in every aspect of the fragrance, from the packaging to the scent itself (it's said to smell like a "fruity gormand"). On sale for $35 to $55, "Someday" will be available in all sorts of forms (including something called a "hair mist").

    Terry Richardson shot the print ads for the campaign, which will star model/actress Dree Hemingway. (Apparently Selena Gomez was busy?)

    Commendably, all proceeds of the fragrance will be donated to charity.

  • DetailsThe cover of Tina Fey's best-selling "Bossypants" caused something of a stir when it was first revealed, due to the striking image of Fey's arms replaced with a hairy man's.

    Fey has joked about the cover during interviews ("Those are Alec Baldwin's feet," she said at an event last month). But Details did some digging and found the actual arm model: Joe Rosario, a 52-year-old actor who has appeared on "The Sopranos," "Law and Order: SVU" and "Ed."

    Rosario -- who had worked with the book cover photographer (Ruven Afandor) before -- said he did not know just how prominently his arms were going to be displayed when he showed up for the shoot.

    "I was just told it was a shoot for Tina Fey's book -- I had no idea it was for the cover," he told the magazine, "I thought it was basically something for a picture inside the book. When I got there, the room was filled with a lot of props and outfits. She had just finished getting shot in something like an Annie Oakley outfit. So the way the process

  • Kiki is not amused. - Getty ImagesWhen Lars Von Trier outed himself as a Nazi sympathizer, he made things awkward for EVERYONE involved with promoting his latest film -- none more so than Kirsten Dunst, who was forced to sit next to the director at a Cannes press conference.  Feel Kiki's pain in a special gif tribute to her amazing facial expressions on the blog fourfour.

    The actress, who stars in Von Trier's new movie "Melancholia," will probably have to answer journalists' questions about his verbal diarrhea for the unforseeable future.

    Fun!

  • Spike TV has named Jennifer Aniston not just the hottest woman alive, or the hottest woman of 2011, but one of the hottest women of the decade. At least, we're pretty sure that's what this "Decade of Hotness" award signifies.

    The network will hand the prize to Aniston at the fifth annual "Guys Choice" ceremony next month.

    "Decade of Hotness is Guys Choice's ultimate term of endearment for a woman that we just can't get enough of," Spike TV executive vice-president Casey Patterson explained.

    Previous winners include Halle Berry and Charlize Theron.

    Meanwhile, somewhere, Angelina Jolie just read about this news on her iPhone and said, "Well, that's cute," to her chambermaid, before both of them burst out in a fit of giggles.

  • Pants on fire! - ABC NewsRemember Balloon Boy? This latest crime of parenthood is kinda like that. After horrifying the world, Botox Mom says the freaky media campaign wherein she injected her 8-year-old daughter with adult face poison was one big hoax. Really! She had us there for a second. Anyway, her real name is Sheen Upton, not Kerry Campbell, and she claims that the British tabloid The Sun paid her only $200 to partipate in the attention-getting ruse.

    "I was provided with the story, instructions and a script to follow for a recorded interview," Upton says in a sworn declaration, obtained by TMZ.

    Yes, the Sun is shady and cheap. And yes, Upton is ignorant and evil for going through with it, without any consideration for her daughter, Britney. As it happens, the girl is not a beauty pageant contestant but rather a gifted child actress -- because her pained reaction to the Botox and filler injections appeared awfully authentic (based on what we've seen on "Real Housewives" episodes).

  • A definitely undoctored picture of a clothed Gyllenhaal. - Getty ImagesEarlier this week, many of you may have seen a picture of Jake Gyllenhaal stretching in his underwear (a la Grace Jones). You probably chuckled, assuming it was a Photoshop job, and then clicked back to your e-mail.

    Well, Gyllenhaal was not chuckling. The actor's lawyers are attempting to remove the picture (which you can see here) from the internet entirely, having sent letters requesting as much to sites including Buzzfeed and Queerty.

    His lawyers claim, "... as anybody could tell from a cursory examination, this is a fake picture, in which our client's head has been pasted on the body of another person."

    They are arguing the photo violates his rights in "portraying him in a false light, violating his right of publicity and constituting a false designation of origin in violation of the Lanham Act."

    However, ironically, their effort to eradicate the picture has not only likely caused more people to see the picture, it also has made some of the websites more stubborn about keeping it

  • David Letterman ‘Crushed’ By Oprah Snub

    A giddy Oprah and Dave in 2005. - Arnaldo Magnani/Getty ImagesOprah Winfrey invited pretty much everyone who matters to the taping of her final show in Chicago earlier this week -- well, that is, save for a certain late night host who famously has not been on the best terms with O in the past.

    Letterman spent the beginning of last night's "Late Show" ranting about his exclusion from the festivities, lamenting that he has "spent the last 12 to 15 years kissing up to Oprah."

    "Guess who wasn't invited? Thank you very much, Oprah," he cheekily complained, going on to say he was "disappointed, crushed... and laboring with a broken heart."

    It's Letterman's typical cranky shtick, but it's kind of amusing.

    "I just want to bask in the glory that is Oprah," he says, "Who doesn't?"

  • Who's the daddy? She's not saying. - Jason Merritt/Getty ImagesWhen January Jones became pregnant, word later got out that the father of her unborn child is someone from the set of "X-Men: First Class." Well, now the plot thickens because the pool of potential baby daddies has narrowed: Richard Johnson of The Daily reports the guy is married, which is why she's staying mum on his identity.

    The cast includes Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, Ray Wise, Jason Flemyng, Bill Milner and Lucas Till. Michael Vaughn directed the movie, and he's married to model Claudia Schiffer, with whom he has three kids. (He's not bad to look at, either.) Also married: Bacon, McAvoy and Platt.

    We're not implying anything here, but intriguing, no? Perhaps it's a Julia Roberts/Danny Moder situation involving a camera man.

    A message for Jones' rep was not immediately returned.

  • In April 2009. - Tiffany Rose/Getty ImagesJeff Conaway -- star of "Taxi" and "Grease," and, more recently, alum of "Celebrity Rehab" and "Celebrity Fit Club" -- has returned to the hospital after what is believed to be an overdose.

    Conaway is currently in critical condition at Encino Hospital Medical Center, the Los Angeles Times says, where he is unconscious with pneumonia.

    The 60-year-old has struggled in the past with addictions to cocaine, painkillers and alcohol.

    In January of 2010, he fell down a staircase, resulting in a broken hip, broken arm, fractured neck and brain hemorrhage.
