Ever since I started doing this diary every week, I'm always just a little conscious of not going "too far", with nudity in the pics usually being off the table. Just be happy this diary doesn't meet Iranian dress standards, which were exhibited at a fashion show this week....
The only unusual aspect is that they are all wearing Islamic dress; including some draped from head to toe in the all enveloping chador. It's part of a new drive to give women more attractive choices of Islamic dress that allow them to express their individuality, while remaining within the letter of the law.
Not everyone in the all female audience was happy.
The BBC News article goes on to talk about how the generation born after the Iranian Revolution has embraced "western permisiveness", with shops in Tehran selling strapless dresses & low cut tops.
Free Will. In the end it usually wins out. On to the crap....
Tara Reid Can't Count
Stay in school. That's my message of the night, because if you don't you might end up like Tara Reid and fucking up a New Years Countdown. You can watch this mess by clicking on the link below....
Tara Reid Countdowns to 2007 in Chicago
Here's how the entertainment website The Superficial interpreted the incident....
First of all, who the fuck counts down New Years from 60? You start that shit at 10. And if you do decide to be an ass and do it from 60 then at least do it right. Don't leave out random numbers and skip from 20 to 10. And then after counting down from 10 do it all over again because you realize you left out 19 through 11. She counts down from 10 twice. Twice!
Britney Spears May Have Checked Into Rehab
As people who read the "TIC" diaries every week or read their tabloids already know, Britney has been a little out of control since announcing her divorce from Kevin Federline. She started hanging out with Paris Hilton & tried to fit in with the Hollywood party scene, but this didn't work out too well. She lost publicists after she started flashing her crotch to any cameraman that got in front of her, and was drunk out of her mind....
On December 20, she tested her drinking limits (and the DJ's patience) at Hollywood lounge Les Deux. An inebriated Spears "kept requesting her own songs," a club source tells Us Weekly.
Resident DJ Stone Rokk finally played one, but followed it with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River." Soon the partying caught up with the 25-year-old pop princess.
"She went to the bathroom and threw up all over," an eyewitness tells Us. But, adds the source, "she didn't need to be carried out."
During New Years Eve/New Years Morning (where the picture above are from), she collapsed....
She had been seated on a VIP tented-cabana bed overlooking the dance floor at 12:50AM talking with one of her male dancers. She intimated she wanted to leave and as she stood up, "she went into a dead faint and just fell right to the floor."
Her group pulled her up and lay her on the bed at the same time as her personal security asked for the club to provide at least 10 other security managers to "get her out as quickly as possible." They surrounded the stricken pop star in an attempt to screen her from all observers and the new years revelers on the crowded dance floor.
One woman in the Spears' entourage yelled, "Make sure nobody gets any photos. No photos anywhere."
When the 12-strong security phalanx was in place, two of her dancers wrapped Britney in what appeared to be a blanket-hooded poncho. Literally carrying her in both arms, they managed to propell her through the crowds and out of the club.
It appeared as if "she was being dragged as she wasn't walking under her own speed" said one eyewitness. "It looked as if they wanted to get her up to her hotel room as soon as possible." At 2AM this morning, an ambulance was summoned to the hotel but it was totally unclear if it was brought to Caesars for Britney.
The Britney camp denies that any drunken spell occurred and that she just "nodded off", while at the same time reports today had Spears checking into a spa "Exhaustion".....
Spears quietly checked into Sanctuary, a spa in Arizona, on New Year’s Day, according to Life & Style weekly.
"With these celebrities, ‘exhaustion’ sometimes means something else and a little rest at a spa sometimes actually translates into something a little more serious," says a source.
Spears’ rep couldn’t be reached for comment, but L&S reports that the singer’s parents are urging their daughter to go into therapy.
"It’s just been heartbreaking for her parents to watch Britney on this downward spiral," an "insider" told the mag. "It’s so sad."
Kid Rock Beats Down An Innocent Family's Door Looking For Tommy Lee
It must be a hell of a thing to hear that your soon to be ex-wife, Pamela Anderson, is over in the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas banging her ex-husband (Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee). Such was the case with Kid Rock on New Years Eve. He decided to do something about it & got two of his bodyguards and decided to go beat the shit out of Tommy Lee. However dumbass went to the wrong floor....
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Kid is divorcing Pam Anderson, but he heard Tommy was hooking up with her, and got all riled up. So he went over at 6am with two bodyguards, and began kicking down what he thought was Tommy's door. Only it wasn't, and Kid found himself staring at some poor, startled family. He signed an autograph for them as security arrived, then bolted over to the Paradise strip club."
Even though a brawl was avoided, Tommy - who is in Vegas performing with his new band Rock Star: Supernova - is expecting more trouble from Kid.
The source added: "Tommy has been calling Kid Rock and taunting him about
Pam, and Kid Rock is ready to kick some serious butt."
Jessica Simpson "Hearts" John Mayer
Boyfriend & girlfriend. Isn't love grand?
....They hit Barneys New York for a pre-New Year’s shopping date. "John smiled playfully at Jessica as he held her arm," says an onlooker. "They were really affectionate. They didn't seem to care who saw them. They were out and proud as a couple and Jessica looked so happy."
Mayer strolled over to the adjacent men’s store to search for grooming products, while Jessica browsed the accessories department. When she found a necklace that struck her fancy, Simpson told an employee she wanted to get Mayer’s opinion before deciding to buy it.
"I don't know," she hedged. "I'm waiting for my boyfriend."
When Mayer arrived, she modeled jewelry for him. "They seemed almost like a married couple," shopper Stacy Thompson tells Us. "They both looked really happy and she looked beautiful."
After the duo paid for their purchases, they prepared to leave, with Simpson hugging him tightly from behind while resting her head on his back.
The pair was still going strong the following night. Just after 2 a.m. on New Year’s Eve, they arrived at a Hudson Hotel party, plopping down on a couch in the V.I.P. area, as Simpson nuzzled Mayer’s face and put her leg up on his lap.
Mayer kissed Jessica’s head before getting up and mingling with the crowd. Jessica kept to herself on the couch but smiled whenever John sat back down with her.
