But there was also plenty of publicity unauthorized by Mr. Armstrong, including three days of coverage in The New York Post, a string of articles on Us Magazine’s Web site and an article in Life & Style entitled “How Lance Stole Kate From Owen,” all chronicling Mr. Armstrong’s relationship with the actress and tabloid darling Kate Hudson.
Furthermore, many people seem to mention his two-year relationship with the singer Sheryl Crow, his romance with the fashion designer Tory Burch and his canoodling last year in a New York nightclub with Ashley Olsen, rather than his serious pursuits.

The two were partying at the Beatrice Inn in NYC last Friday night when Ashley Olsen struck up a conversation with Samantha and Lindsay became enraged with jealousy. Insecure much?
Lindsay screamed at Ashley,
“Get your 15-year-old ‘Full House’ ass away from my girlfriend.”
Aside from being one of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard, Lindsay is being a tad obsessive — don’t ya think?
She’s friends with Marc Jacobs, his ex-fiancé (and former hooker) Jason Preston, The Hills’ Lauren Conrad, model Jessica Stam, random internet socialite Cory Kennedy, and a whole host of other notable idiots.
She’s friends with a “Hiilary Duff” (a notorious enemy) and, judging by her “Wall,” she and model Lauren Hastings seem to be in some sort of fight. Also, as you can see from her “Status,” she’s totes serious about her new sober living (”It was 430 am!!!” she offers as cryptic explanation for something), even though she’s been seen hard partying all over the place.
I find it hard to believe that any celebrities use Facebook and MySpace — I mean, when do they have the time to sit at the computer like all of us hacks do?
A screen shot of her “Wall” is after the jump, click “Continued” below.
Hugh Hefner tried to land Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for an issue of Playboy just after their 18th birthday. They wisely refused the offer and continued their quest of dominating the tween world. Not being one to give up, Hef tried again to snag the twins for a feature spread. According to an insider, he is under the impression that the Olsen twins are every man’s fantasy.
Michelle Tanner in Playboy?!? Thank God they said no. I could just see their issue hitting the stands and men everywhere have a sudden case of erectile dysfunction at the sight of their little boy breasts.

How often do a brother and a sister make the top 10 of the same list?
10. Ally Hilfiger - Before “Laguna Beach,” in 2003 “Rich Girls” ruled the MTV privileged kid reality slot. Ally and her then friend, Jaime Gleicher, had every aspect of their Manhattan lives featured. During its only season, the daughter of famed designer Tommy claimed her father invented Cargo pants. Since the show wrapped, she’s visited rehab, but also recently had an art exhibit at the Chelsea Art Museum.
9. Stavros Niarchos III - The grandson of shipping tycoon Stavros Niarchos, who was a rival of Aristotle Onassis, is best known for dating Paris Hilton, Mary-Kate Olsen (also both further down this list) and Lindsay Lohan. But he’s made the news on his own merit too — he once paid a homeless man to pour a drink over his head (just for fun).
8. Fabian Basabe - Son of an Ecuadorian businessman, in 2005 he married Martina Borgomanero, heir to La Perla lingerie. During his time in the limelight as being famous for doing nothing (he appeared in E!’s 2005 “Filthy Rich: Cattle Ranch”), he’s had a knack for making the gossip sites for negative news. He sued trendy NYC nightspot Bungalow 8 for not letting him in, called the doorman of a Hamptons hot spot the N word and has received a DUI. Never shy, he recently accused Tyra Banks of having an unfortunate accident in her pants on his blog.
7. Barron Hilton - The younger brother of Paris and Nicky recently initiated himself as the newest member of the celebutante lot by getting arrested for DUI. Is it cynical to ask if this was his ‘first’ DUI? Unlike role model sis, Paris, parents Rick and Kathy didn’t pay his bail.
6. The Olsen Twins - The super rich sisters are heirs to their own fortune. They make our list because even though they’ve made their money by actually working, they had to wait until their 18th birthday to collect it. Fixtures in the club scene, these fashionistas now rub elbows with society’s elite. Mary-Kate might be considered the breakout star partly because of her role on the critically acclaimed Showtime series, ‘Weeds.’ But, more likely, it’s because she’s allegedly been hospitalized for anorexia and reportedly was having a relationship with Heath Ledger during the time of his death.
5. Cisco Adler - Son of the son of music producer and director Lou Adler, Cisco is the front man for his own band, Whitestar. Famous for dating Hollywood starlets like Lauren Conrad and Mischa Barton, he’s most famous for a nude photo that circled the Internet in 2006 in which his nether regions seem stretched (Note: not the region that would be flattering). His band starred in 2007’s VH1 Reality show, ‘The Rock Life.’
4. Kim Kardashian - This curvy daughter of the late O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian and current wife of Bruce Jenner, Kris Jenner, currently stars in E!’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” Following the footsteps of heiresses before her, she gained notoriety for a sex tape scandal with R&B singer Ray J (Brandy’s brother). She has recently been accused of stealing her co-star’s mother’s credit cards to purchase clothes, when she was working as Brandy’s stylist.
3. Brandon Davis - Born Brandon Zarif, Brandon is a grandson of oil magnate Marvin Davis. He’s been to rehab twice, but if there is truth to famous photos, he should be there more often. He famously went on a caught-on-tape rant with famous fellow socialite friend, Paris Hilton, where he continuously called Lindsay Lohan ‘Fire C#$%*’ in 2006.
2. Nicole Richie - Lionel’s daughter’s first arrest was in 2003 for heroin possession. Later that year, “The Simple Life” debuted on Fox and the reality show co-star “frienemy” Paris Hilton gained instant notoriety. In 2006, the nickname “Wrong Way Richie” emerged after the star was pulled over driving the wrong direction on the 134 freeway in Los Angeles. She served about 82 minutes of jail time for the crime. However, recently she’s cleaned up her act — she has since had a baby and started a charity with her boyfriend, Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden.
1. Paris Hilton - If you look up the word ‘celebutante’ in the dictionary, her name is likely listed. This uber-famous ’singer,’ ‘actress,’ ‘model’ and ‘writer’ is an heiress to the Hilton Hotels franchise. Already famous in society pages, Hilton skyrocketed to super stardom when a sex tape with Rick Salomon went public. This former LA County Jail resident (she spent 22 days there in June 2007 for charges stemming for violating probation over a DUI) makes an impressive income for ‘doing nothing.’ Forbes estimates she made $7 million in 2007 combined through all of her ventures.
At 23 LeBron James is giving Kobe Bryant a run for his money. Literally. The basketball player is about to become the NBA’s high paid player. A 4 year contract worth $60 million is in the works to keep him happy with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Currently he is banking about half of that. With endorsement deals from Nike and Coca-Cola he is set to break the $100 million marker combined with his 4 year contract. Reggie Bush came in second on the payroll with $24 million followed by Maria Sharapova with a million dollar difference. Michelle Wie took 4th with a $19 mill paycheck for golfing.
Media moguls Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen bring home a around $17 million per twin. Not bad being that their last film was in 2004. The bulk of their income stems from their Wal-Mart line that caters to the boho loving Olsen tween crowd. Hollywood rehab queen, Lindsay Lohan, earned around $3.5 mill before heading to several strings of rehab sessions. Odd being that just about everything she touches turns into a flop.
Younger still is Dakota Fanning. She has almost half a million for every year she has been alive. At 13 her starting rate is at Least $3 million per film. Fellow youngster Miley Cyrus is only 15 and could buy a boat, a million dollar home, her weight in shoes and a baby elephant with money left over to purchase hair extensions made from flying ponies. One album banked $3.5 million dollars, which will be a meager sum compared to her latest tour that kicked off last month. In order to score tickets to her alter ego concert you have to sell your first born on the black market.
Harry Potter himself is a rich bitch. Daniel Radcliffe just broke 18 years on this earth and has $15 million dollars at his command. Co-stars Emma Watson, who has become a Chanel queen, and Rupert Grint are also not hurting for cash. They each could write a $4 million dollar check that wouldn’t bounce. The threesome have more money coming their way with two more Harry Potter films on their way.
Avril Lavigne crooned out about $12 million in crappy songs this year . Her album “The Best Damn Thing” became an international hit. Meanwhile the country/pop queen Carrie Underwood cashed in around $7 million. Paid to party Paris Hilton “earned” $6.5 million just for being a pelvis princess.

It really must be Halloween, that time of year when celebrities dress like sluttier versions of themselves and start acting crazier than normal. Take this latest celebrity couple rumor, for example - Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong were spotted at the Rose Bar together making out. Now that’s scary.
A bar spy says,
“They came together with a group of friends. Ashley drank red wine, sat on his lap and they were making out all night. They left together around 2 a.m.”
Lance is 36, Ashley is 21, and together they’re just plain creepy. I don’t know why, they just don’t seem to go together.
What others are saying:
Mollygood says, “Kinda gross, but the guy’s a cancer survivor, so he gets some leeway. Do what feels good, Lancey! Also: Who pegged an Olsen to be mature enough to look past a guy having only one testicle?”
dlisted says, “Ash is only 21. Everyone should spend their 20s slutting it up. Get in, get on, get off and get out! Lance is a hot piece of man meat, so she should suck that one nut and then move on.”
celebitchy says, “As a fit guy under 40, he’s not creepy-old for a 21 year-old, just in-denial old. This doesn’t make me go ‘ewww’ so much as say ‘why?’”
Here’s the 3-minute commercial for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s new clothing line, “The Row”. It sounds really long, but it’s actually a pretty cool commercial with a cute girl, and I like the clothes. There’s something I never thought I would say.
With her sister Mary-Kate landing a role on the kickass show of Weeds, I was wondering when Ashley Olsen would get her own acting gig. Ashley has scored a role in “The Informers” starring Billy Bob Thornton and Kim Basinger. Reuters gives us the permise of the film:
Set in 1980s Los Angeles, the script follows seven stories taking course during a week in the life of a movie executive, his wife, his mistress, a rock star, a vampire and a kidnapper. Thornton will play the movie executive, and Basinger his wife. Superman star Brandon Routh has been cast as the vampire, while Ashley Olsen will play a sexually promiscuous girl.
That’s all the role is described as: sexually promiscuous? I bet she could find a lot of inspiration for her character just by being around some of those Hollywood girls I love to write about so much.

Lindsay Lohan rules. According to Maxim magazine, at least this month, she’s the hottest woman in the world. The “Georgia Rule” actress-troublemaker tops the magazine’s eighth annual “Hot 100″ list, a ranking by editors weighing buzz and beauty for women in film, TV, music, sports and fashion. “There is no other star in the world (who) causes more of a stir in the public eye than Lindsay,” said Maxim Editor in Chief Jimmy Jellinek in a statement. “Her every move is watched and reported on.”
Not surprisingly, Jellinek described his young, male readership as being “obsessed” with the 20-year-old Lohan, a ubiquitous party girl who spent the weekend soaking up the sun (with a new boyfriend) in the Bahamas.
Jessica Alba had to settle with the No. 2 on the list, which is in the magazine hitting stands Saturday. She’s followed, in order, by Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendes, Rihanna, Eva Longoria, Fergie, Sienna Miller, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce Knowles and Katherine Heigl.
Celebrity sisters Ashlee and Jessica Simpson are on the list at No. 16 and No. 41, respectively. Ashley Olsen, half of the mogul acting twins, placed 37th, while sister Mary-Kate didn’t make the cut.
It’s funny that one of the identical twins is at least 64 spots less hot than the other. And who would have thought we’d see the day when Ashlee Simpson was considered hotter than Jessica Simpson?
Anyway, here’s the Maxim write-up on Lohan:
Tabloid bloodsuckers have been feasting on this Long Island native for three years running, but that’s only because this unbelievably beautiful, untamable Golden Age throwback with a nonstop social calendar and acclaimed acting chops is Ann-Margret, Meryl Streep, and Sophia Loren rolled into one. Moving well beyond kid fodder like Herbie Fully Loaded, she next stars in the highly anticipated film about the murder of John Lennon, Chapter 27. She’s following that up with the freaky thriller I Know Who Killed Me. But if you happen to see Lindsay’s smoky eyes from across some bar in West Hollywood, don’t bother sending over a drink—she’s accomplished all this before her 21st birthday. Wink.
The rest of the Hot 100 is available via Maxim’s site here. Oddly, they’ve chosen to make it as hard to navigate as possible, putting each hottie on a separate page.
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen attended the DVD release party of the ‘Farce of the Penguins’ at New York City’s Tenjune in support of their TV Dad and Penguins director, Bob Saget.
I’m not sure why Gilbert Gottfried had to shove his way into the photo.
She’s friends with Marc Jacobs, his ex-fiancé (and former hooker) Jason Preston, The Hills’ Lauren Conrad, model Jessica Stam, random internet socialite Cory Kennedy, and a whole host of other notable idiots.
