Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson is the love affair that’s got tongues wagging around the globe.
You’ll be happy to know that the relationship has been given the thumbs-up by someone who really matters - Sam’s big brother, Mark Ronson.
The uber-producer and his girlfriend, model Daisy Lowe, recently enjoyed a double date with the couple - and they couldn’t be happier about the unlikely pairing.
We caught up with stunning Daisy, 19, at the BT Homehub party in London’s In & Out club, and she told us: “I met Lindsay and Sam for the first time during the weekend before the Coachella festival. Sam is an amazing girl The four of us had a brilliant time - a real laugh.”
And it seems that Daisy [daughter of Gavin Rossdale] is also really taken with Lindsay.
“Lindsay is really down to earth. Her and Sam make a lovely couple - they seem really happy. Their relationship is totally genuine. And they’re just so sweet together.
Mark totally approves. But we’re not going to double-date again - I mean, would you go on a date with your brother? It’s just a bit weird and anyway they live in LA, so it’s kinda difficult. But I’d definitely love to see them again.”
Don’t you just love it when your sibling “approves” of who you decide to date? Right, you would tell them to pick up a new hobby and piss off!
What others said:
Defamer says, “a few out there still who suspect the entire courtship to be a calculated attempt at staying in the limelight. Well, perish the cynical thought.”

Presenting The 25 Funniest People in America. From Conan O’Brien to Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey to Craig Ferguson, let’s count down the names of the entertainers who make us laugh the hardest.
25. AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS
Burroughs’ best-selling memoir Running with Scissors — about being raised by a nutso shrink who studies his poo and rents the back shed to a pedophile — is unbelievably disturbing. And sidesplitting. At first we felt guilty giggling at his adventures with an electroshock therapy machine, but Burroughs knows that laughter is the best antidepressant. Much better than booze, which the author struggles to kick in his equally effervescent follow-up, Dry.
24. CATHERINE O’HARA
After her run on SCTV in the late ’70s, Hollywood didn’t know what to do with O’Hara. Fortunately, Christopher Guest did. In Waiting for Guffman, she and Fred Willard are tracksuit-wearing answers to Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire; in Best in Show, she’s a onetime floozy with a prize terrier and a torrid past; and in A Mighty Wind, O’Hara shows off a subtler comic touch, proving that humor doesn’t always mean a pie in the face.
23. SARAH SILVERMAN
The Lenny Bruce of the 21st century might be this hot, foul-mouthed, button-punching stand-up. Silverman is ruthlessly funny about topics like sex, the Holocaust, and 9/11, which may be why The Sarah Silverman Program has a permanent slot on our DVR. Oh, and if you hadn’t heard, she’s f—ing Matt Damon.
22. DAVE CHAPPELLE
The fact that Diamond Dave is all but absent from the comedic stage these days doesn’t invalidate his funny. After all, Chappelle’s revered Comedy Central show — on which the wiry comic gleefully engaged in crass T&A humor, swore like a sailor, and mocked everyone in the multiculti rainbow, confronting race in a way that is positively Pryor-esque — is still the best sketch comedy this country has seen in more than a decade. For that alone, he deserves a spot on any list like this.
21. DEMETRI MARTIN
You know what’s funny? Palindromes and anagrams. ”Shut up, Grandma,” you say, but we say shut up yourself and watch Demetri Martin work a stand-up mic. ”A drunk driver’s very dangerous. Everybody knows that. But so is a drunk backseat driver — if he’s persuasive.” The floppy-haired heir to Steven Wright won a prestigious award at last year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, taking him from the comedy underground to…the comedy slightly less underground.
20. DIABLO CODY
Not to be partial, but the newly minted Oscar winner showed off her comedic — and emotional — chops with her debut screenplay for Juno. Did we mention it won an Oscar?
19. CRAIG FERGUSON
Late night is the province of the mono-name. Jay! Dave! Conan! Then there’s that Scottish guy, two-name ID required: Craig Ferguson. You know, the one who can’t quite be pinned down. Since taking over CBS’ Late Late Show from Craig Kilborn in 2005, Ferguson has brought a fresh burst of energy to the format. He’s reinvented the opening monologue, doing away with most of the topical jokes and just ad-libbing about his life. Along with fresh energy, he’s brought something else — ratings. Ferguson, 45 and a brand-spanking-new U.S. Citizen, doesn’t get as much media attention as time-slot competitors Jimmy Kimmel or Conan, but with an audience of just under 2 million, the great Scot outperforms the former and has climbed within 500,000 viewers of the latter.
18. JACK BLACK
Black is an entirely new classification of human: the frenetic slacker. Before his turn as doofus band reject/inspirational teacher Dewey Finn in School of Rock, he was the Ritalin-deprived half of Tenacious D (along with his partner, Kyle Gass) and the list-obsessed record-shop shlub in High Fidelity. He is, inarguably, the coolest fusion of music and comedy since Spinal Tap. (And, if Tropic Thunder is as good as we’ve been led to believe, we’ll forgive him that whole Nacho Libre business.)
17. DAVID LETTERMAN
With a receding hairline and a jogger’s grim jowls, Dave is no one’s idea of a hip comic, and he likes it that way. New-school gone old-school, the upstart who first pumped irony into the talk show still rails against the stupidity of the powerful and yet has the charm to melt Julia Roberts.
16. AMY SEDARIS AND DAVID SEDARIS
Big brother is the best-selling author of the sublime autobiographical essay collections Me Talk Pretty One Day and Naked, full of terrific riffs about stuff like his cuckoo-clock North Carolina clan and his midget guitar teacher. Little sis was the rubber-faced star of Comedy Central’s truly strange Strangers With Candy, as well as coauthor of the book Wigfield.
15. WILL FERRELL
See, there’s this man-child who latches onto Will Ferrell in most every role he plays — and good luck getting the little guy to let go. As a result, we are treated to inspired displays of dolt-trapped-in-the-headlights hijinks, be it in the form of Old School’s keghead Frank the Tank (who goes from repressed to regressed to undressed) or Talladega Nights’ Ricky Bobby, the dumbest, most earnest NASCAR driver on the circuit — who’s also the most comfortable with his sexuality.
14. RICKY GERVAIS
Okay, so he doesn’t spend all that much of his time in America. We don’t care. Whether as the creator of The Office and Extras, a supporting actor in movies like For Your Consideration or Night at the Museum, or doing killer stand-up (as seen most recently in Grand Theft Auto IV), he’s still as funny as the dog’s bollocks.
13. ELLEN DEGENERES
DeGeneres, whose career seemed all but kaput a few years ago, has earned back adoration simply by being her affably dry self on the Emmy-winning The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Whether it’s her circuitous monologues, her deadpan celebrity interviews, or that vocal turn as Dory in Finding Nemo, she remains one of the cleanest, coolest funny ladies around.
12. DAVID CROSS
All conversations about his genius start here: Along with Bob Odenkirk, he created the cunning HBO sketch series Mr. Show, which routinely put SNL to silly shame. And not only does Cross work little miracles in supporting roles (remember his role as feckless freak-job Tobias on Fox’s Arrested Development?), he can drop some pretty fearsome stand-up (who else talks about being raped by the Virgin Mary?). Simply put, this dude never kowtows for his funny.
11. CONAN O’BRIEN
Smarty-pants isn’t usually a compliment, but O’Brien wears them so well. When this Harvard geek isn’t riffing on Muammar Gaddafi in his monologue, he’s making absurd innovations in low-brow comedy. Now, let’s see if those absurd innovations will play on The Tonight Show….
The Saturday Night Live scene-stealer has found her stride in her third season, thanks to breakout characters like the Target clerk and the obsessively competitive Penelope, as well as spot-on impressions of Jamie Lee Curtis and Suze Orman.
9. LARRY DAVID
Because he’s a balding, neurotic, self-consumed, multimillionaire malcontent who reacts to most social interactions as if he just took a whiff of some really bad cheese. Because the only thing he hates more than these situations is himself. Because he’s the most hilariously doomed white-guy antihero we’ve ever seen, and has no problems taking on every sacred cow. Because we have no idea how much of this Larry David — from the HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm — is swiped from the real Larry David. And because both Larry Davids co-created one of the best comedies ever, Seinfeld.
8. AMY POEHLER AND WILL ARNETT
The funniest married couple on the list. (Sorry, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann.) When they’re apart (she, on Saturday Night Live and in Baby Mama; he, late of Arrested Development and currently guesting on 30 Rock), they’re great. But when they’re together, as when they played brother-and sister figure skaters in Blades of Glory, they’re resplendent. So let’s get those crazy kids together more often, shall we?
7. MATT STONE AND TREY PARKER
Now in their eleventh season of South Park, these potty mouths with a purpose continue to remind us what full creative control gets you: moments so wrong, they’re right (Ben Affleck falling in love with Cartman’s hand comes to mind). Added bonus: The ninth season episode, ”Trapped in the Closet” contains the most sober explanation of the background of Scientology you’ll ever hear.
6. CHRIS ROCK
Television failed him (Saturday Night Live didn’t know what to do with his bright-bulb humor, and his HBO talk show couldn’t contain him). The movies didn’t get him (though this is as much Rock’s fault as anyone’s, given he wrote and directed his most recent starring vehicles, the underperforming Head of State and I Think I Love My Wife). But on the stage, Rock is a man on a mission, mercilessly tackling race, religion, money, and relationships. And his missionaries are legion.
5. STEVE CARELL
Sometimes, it hurts so good. The pain, the discomfort, the agony of watching Carell’s Michael Scott work himself into another awkward scenario on NBC’s The Office…and almost work himself out. And the fact that we don’t hate Michael — on the contrary, we feel a warm, chocolatey pity for him — is a testament to Carell, who leavens the bald incompetence with wide-eyed awe.
4. JON STEWART AND THE ‘DAILY SHOW’ TEAM
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is the most consistent laugh machine on TV — and the only news source for scores of cynics and slackers. It’s not often that a comedy show can tackle politics, embrace a cogent point of view, and still maintain its anarchic spark. The scribes at The Daily Show pull it off four nights a week. As the heart and soul of the show, Stewart is evenhanded but never meek; as an interviewer, he can make his guests comfortable even as he’s taking them apart. Then there’s his gang of ”correspondents,” who soldier straight-facedly into the great American absurd and take no prisoners. Empirically speaking, there’s nothing funny about what’s going on in the world right now. Yet here we are each week, chortling.
3. TINA FEY
It takes a certain self-confidence to play a woman who accidentally dates her third cousin, erroneously assumes her neighbor is a terrorist, and gets called the C-word by a colleague (especially when said character is based on you). ”I love going to those uncomfortable places,” says Fey, who stars as 30 Rock’s workaholic TV maven and is also the NBC show’s creator and exec producer. ”I’ll go down any weird avenue.” Maybe this year’s surprise Emmy win for best comedy will empower Fey to pursue some dreams for her alter ego. ”Liz Lemon could do an international adoption for a Russian baby and get the paperwork wrong with the European dates and somehow end up with a huge, muscular 13-year-old. Yeah, I could see that.” Hopefully we will too.
2. STEPHEN COLBERT AND THE ‘COLBERT REPORT’ TEAM
The once (and, we’re sure, future) presidential nominee, author, and dedicated windbag also happens to be one of the smartest satirists working today. Heck, if all the dude had on his resume was the legendary 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner, he’d go down in comedy history. But week-in and week-out, Colbert takes aim at the political-industrial complex — and I don’t care if there’s no such term — and spins the facts into truth. Or truthiness. Whichever’s easier.
1. THE JUDD APATOW POSSE
Can you even remember what movie comedy looked like before writer-director-producer Judd Apatow and his ever-expanding comedy clan (including Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, and Paul Rudd) came along last summer with two stiff shots of cathartic humor — the oops-she’s-preggers romp Knocked Up and the high school raunchfest Superbad? Today, when studio execs have a comedy that feels flat or formulaic, the call goes out to ”Judd it up” — sweet irony for a man once best known for critically beloved flops like TV’s Freaks and Geeks. ”It was always my dream to become a verb,” Apatow deadpans. ”That’s what I wrote in my high school yearbook.”
God Bless America. The U.S. version of the reality show got down and dirty with a slut parade. The Big Brother women started the night with a strip tease that was X-rated and involved the blurring out of body parts. Then the whipped cream came out. After microwaving a tub of Cool Whip, Natalie got on the floor to roll around while some tool played the bongos with spoons and a cucumber.
Along with lap dances and skinny dipping….a hot tub orgy followed. The girls were kissing the other girls and the Cheri Oteri doppelganger did some sort of weird naked yoga. I have never watched the show, but I am pretty sure that all the men are homosexuals.
The spit-swapping commenced almost immediately. Everybody was kissing everybody. Natalie kissing Matt and then Alex and then James and even Adam. Natalie kissing Chelsia. Chelsia kissing Alex and then Matt and then James and then Josh. Natalie and Chelsia kissing Josh together. Sharon kissing Matt and then Alex. Speaking of Sharon, her and Alex are sure to get it on eventually in the house. You could feel the fireworks through the screen during each one of their make out sessions.
This is what happens when you give unattractive people booze and bongos. I am surprised Matthew Mcconaughey wasn’t hiding behind the couch.
Bobby Brown must think everything his urine touches, turns to gold. Why else would Bobby think it’s “a-ok” to piss on another individual?
What the hell is wrong with this guy?
The 39-year-old singer Bobby Brown was caught on on camera trying to urinate on Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider on the U.S. Big Brother-style country music show ‘Gone Country’. The ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ chart-topper walked up to Snider in his sleep and dropped his pants.
“I’m laying in my bed and all of a sudden I hear Bobby Brown stirring. He started walking over to my night table and he was getting his junk out. First of all I thought I was going to be raped by Bobby Brown then I was like, ‘He’s going to pee on me.’ I started snapping my fingers to get his attention and I’m shouting, ‘Bobby, Bobby, Bobby - that’s the toilet over there. Next thing he headed to the door of the room and was about to pee there - so I’m shouting no, no. His next stop was our closet, I was picturing him spraying all our clothes down, I’m like, no no! Finally he went into the bathroom and heard it hit water, rather than tile or wall.”
An apologetic Brown said: “This sleepwalking has been bothering me for years. I need help. If there’s anyone out there who helps sleepwalkers who pee, please call me.”
Australian hottie Krystal Forscutt is best known for her ‘Big Brother’ appearance on Aussie TV.
Having tasted fame she became a model for magazines like Zoo Weekly, Ralph and FHM. You can say she’s the Aussie version of Keeley Hazell or Lucy Pinder. Nothing wrong with that.
Who is Krystal Forscutt?
Krystal Forscutt (born on July 12, 1986) is an Australian model and reality TV contestant. She is best known as a contestant on Big Brother Australia 2006.
Most recently, she appeared as a contestant on the Australian reality TV show, It Takes Two. However, she was eliminated after only the second round.
She is due to appear in the new Need for Speed video game, Need for Speed: ProStreet, which makes her the first Australian to have a character in a Need for Speed game.
The representatives of Electronic Arts approached Forscutt to appear in the new Need For Speed video game, after they spotted her in a bikini shoot in men’s magazine Zoo Weekly. She was flown to EA’s Vancouver headquarters where she was photographed and filmed for artists to create her character, a starting girl in the race series.

If you can’t get enough of this hottie, here’s a bonus video from one of her Zoo Weekly photoshoots.
Paris Hilton is set to show the world that she is more than just an “heirhead socialite” on the hit British reality show ‘Big Brother.’
The initial figure being talked about for Paris to live it up in the ‘Big Brother’ house is $600,000. Paris is rumored to accept the deal because she is “desperate to raise her profile in the UK - and is prepared to be locked up for another 3 weeks in the Channel 4 house.”
“Paris is keen to do the show because she wants to show people the real her. She wants to show the British public that there is more to her life than shopping and partying and show would certainly make an interesting housemate. It all depends on whether they can afford her,” a source claims.
But Y! India Movies reports producers will do whatever it takes. “We told Paris, ‘Name your price’. We’re in firm talks, and it would be a fantastic coup to get her.” The $600,000 offer would make the hotel heiress the highest paid celebrity on the show so far, and Paris says that she is keen to show people that she is more than “just a bimbo or a wildchild.”
I think that’s a great way to change your image — go on a reality show where drinking and sex is prevalent and it’s filmed for the whole world to see. Wait a minute, haven’t you already done that?
A court issued arrest warrants for Hollywood actor Richard Gere and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on Thursday, saying their kiss at a public function “transgressed all limits of vulgarity“.
Judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrants in the northwestern city of Jaipur after a local citizen filed a complaint charging that the public display of affection offended local sensibilities, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
Gupta earlier viewed television footage of the event, which he called “highly sexually erotic,” saying the pair violated India’s strict public obscenity laws.
Gere and Shetty “transgressed all limits of vulgarity and have the tendency to corrupt the society,” PTI quoted the judge as saying.
Such cases against celebrities - often filed by publicity seekers - are common in conservative India. They add to a backlog of legal cases that has nearly crippled the country’s judicial system.
Gere left India shortly after the kissing incident and it was not immediately clear how the warrant would affect him.
Gere is a frequent visitor to India, promoting health issues and the cause of Tibetan exiles. The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, has his headquarters in the north Indian town of Dharmsala.
Under Indian law a person convicted of public obscenity faces up to three months in prison, a fine, or both.
Last week, crowds in several Indian cities burned effigies of the 57-year-old star of “An Officer and a Gentleman,” “American Gigolo” and “Pretty Woman” after he embraced Shetty and kissed her several times on her cheeks during an HIV/AIDS awareness event in the Indian capital.
Photographs of the clinch were then splashed across front pages in India - where public displays of affection are largely taboo.
The judge lambasted Shetty for not resisting Gere’s kisses and ordered her to appear in his court May 5, PTI said. A spokesman for Shetty declined comment.
The event’s organizer, Parmeshwar Godrej, called the controversy a distraction from more important issues.
“It has detracted from and undermined the value and success of the event, which was concerned with creating AIDS awareness and promoting AIDS prevention among truck drivers,” CNN-IBN quoted her as saying.
Shetty, 31, has said the embrace was not obscene and that the media should instead focus on HIV/AIDS awareness.
“I understand this is his culture, not ours. But this was not such a big thing or so obscene for people to overreact in such manner,” she told PTI last week.
“I understand people’s sentiments, but I don’t want a foreigner to take bad memories from here,” PTI quoted her as saying.
Shetty, already well-known in India, became an international star after her appearance on the British reality show “Celebrity Big Brother” - another controversial public appearance. A fellow contestant, Jade Goody, sparked international headlines by making allegedly racist comments to Shetty. Mobs took to the streets of India to denounce Goody, and Shetty went on to win the competition.
He may have a reputation as a ladies man - but Richard Gere is now public enemy number one in India. Maybe he should have stopped with kissing her hand.
Effigies of the Hollywod actor have been burned after he repeatedly kissed Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty at an AIDS awareness event.
He had joined Shetty, the winner of the “Celebrity Big Brother” in a safe sex campaign for lorry drivers.
The 58-year-old shouted in Hindi to thousands of truck drivers who roared with delight and whistled loudly as Gere swooped down to kiss Shetty to kiss her on her hand and a number of times on one side of her face.
But it started to go wrong when groups of men turned on him and started shouting “Down with Richard Gere”.
They burnt the Hollywood star’s effigies and kicked the smoking remains in the northern Indian cities of Kanpur, Meerut and Varanasi as well as in the central city of Indore.
The protesters said Gere’s kissing of Shilpa was against Indian culture.
Some burnt Shetty’s posters, shouting “Death to Shilpa Shetty”, and danced around the smouldering ashes, TV footage showed.
The kissing scenes were repeatedly being run on TV news channels with viewers commenting on the Hollywood star’s actions.
Others said there was too much fuss over a few kisses.
“I think he responded as an actor. He was playing to the gallery,” said Anjali Gopalan, head of Naz Foundation India, an anti-AIDS prevention and care group.
“I don’t see anything bad,” she said on Headlines Today television.
Shetty’s spokesman said TV networks were going overboard.
“The media should concentrate on promotion of the cause of AIDS awareness rather than make ‘issues’ out of Richard Gere’s kisses,” Dale Bhagwagar said.
The uber-producer and his girlfriend, model Daisy Lowe, recently enjoyed a double date with the couple - and they couldn’t be happier about the unlikely pairing.
The spit-swapping commenced almost immediately. Everybody was kissing everybody. Natalie kissing Matt and then Alex and then James and even Adam. Natalie kissing Chelsia. Chelsia kissing Alex and then Matt and then James and then Josh. Natalie and Chelsia kissing Josh together. Sharon kissing Matt and then Alex.
