Benji Madden & Holly Madison Celebrate His Win

Benji Madden won his celebrity boxing match in Las Vegas over the weekend after knocking Riki Rachtman down three times in under two minutes, another thing he wins at is that he is tapping Holly Madison.

Benji Madden & Holly Madison Celebrate His Win

After winning the boxing match Benji, Holly and a bunch of her friends, who were all wearing Team Benji shirts, were spotted heading to the Rare 120 steakhouse for dinner. Holly refers to Benji as her “adventure buddy,” which I’m guessing is key words for fuck buddy because they definitely look more than buddies in these photos.

First she went for Criss Angel and now Holly Madison is going for Benji Madden, I’m guessing she will go for anyone famous that will give her a bit of attention.

Holly Madison & Criss Angel Break Up

Well that didn’t last very long did it? Holly Madison and Criss Angel have decided to break up, only four months after getting together.

A rep for the magician says that “Criss and Holly are no longer a couple. They remain very close friends and wish each other the very best.”

In December of last year, Holly who moved to Las Vegas to live with him while he does his 5 night a week show, Believe, at the Luxor hotel.

A source says she has since moved back to Los Angeles, where she is living with family, so she can “focus on her career.”

The source also said “she was very much in love with him, and they’re still very close friends. It was a conflict of schedules. She felt she couldn’t devote 100 percent of her time in Vegas and his career at the expense of her career and her goals. It was a tough decision for her to make and come back to L.A. and pursue her career, she still has very intense feelings for him.”

I wonder what Hugh Hefner thinks and if Holly Madison will try and get back in with him or the Playboy family.

Holly Madison Quits Working For Playboy

It seems like love (or good sex) really can make a girl do crazy things, not content with leaving Hugh Hefner for Criss Angel and ending the Girls Next Door, it seems like Holly Madison has now quit her day job of working for Playboy Magazine.

Holly who has been working as a junior editor for Playboy took to her myspace blog last night to write about why she left the job, the blog is titled “Annoying!!!!”

So it’s out on the gossip sites that I quit my job at Playboy, which is true. I quit for several reasons: 1. I moved to Vegas and that job doesn’t pay enough to make a commute worthwhile (I never cared about the salary when I got the job-I made my money doing Girls Next Door and I just did the job because I loved it.) 2. After two years of it, I no longer found it challenging. It got to be routine, which was sad for me, since I was initially so passionate about the job and the creative aspects involved. 3. It was awkward. Not that anyone tried to make it awkward or didn’t treat me fairly . . . it just was.

It annoys me when people call the job fake as if it was just a set up for the show. If I had wanted a fake career for Girls Next Door I would have stuck with the jewelry line because that required very little of my time. I spent way more than full time directing shoots, editing, making mock layouts and approving retouching.

So as you can imagine, when one is trying to move on with their life, it isn’t beneficial to spend so much time on something that doesn’t pay much and sadly enough is no longer rewarding to you.
But I loved my job while I had it, appreciate the opportunity and the experience greatly and wish whoever takes my place the best.
Love-Holly

Whenever I watched the Girls Next Door, I got the feeling that Holly Madison actually did enjoy working at Playboy Magazine. It sucks what a relationship and douche bag boyfriend can do to a girl.

Hef & Holly Still On

Holly Madison has been photographed numerous times hanging out with Criss Angel, which sparked several rumors that she and Hugh Hefner had split up.

Not the case according to Hugh, he tells UsWeekly that “she is still my girlfriend, now will that last? I don’t think anything lasts forever.”

“I love her very much, but you know, she wants very much to get married and have children. That isn’t very much in the cards for me,” he adds. “So there has to be a certain reality there. And I’m sure the time will come when she’ll be dating others. That’s part of the transition.”

Madison – who was photographed getting cozy with Criss Angel over the weekend – tells Us of Hef: “We’re together. If I’m ever not his girlfriend, he’ll be the first to tell you.” The two have been together for seven years.

Meanwhile, Hefner’s other girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson is denying rumors that she is engaged to Philadelphia Eagles star Hank Baskett.

She wrote on her blog: “hiiiiii just wanna let yall know that i am not engaged! if i was id be very happy though n i wouldnt hide it..hahahahaha!!!!!”

Holly Madison Caught with Criss Angel

Controversy continues to swirl around The Playboy Mansion, as vehement denials are now coming from the Playboy camp that Hugh Hefner’s “number one girlfriend” Holly Madison is leaving the Mansion to run away with magician/ladies’ man Criss Angel.

“I really don’t know where this stuff comes from,” stated Kevin Burns, Executive Producer of “The Girls Next Door, “Holly has not moved out and has no plans to do so. She is very much busy supervising and editing Playmate shoots at Playboy Studios West. She’s also been working with my company on several new ideas for Playboy-themed TV shows and specials.”

Burns also denies the report in The Dirty gossip blog about Holly’s alleged romance with Criss Angel. “Holly’s trips to Vegas have been ‘mini-vacations’ to hang out with friends and to scout for the magazine,” Burns stated, :”She’s just having a good time.”

Holly herself blasted the rumors on MySpace, claiming “Hef and I are not breaking up…We are Partners In Crime. LOL, Kendra came up with that one. We are wrapping up season five of The Girls Next Door and are looking forward to filming a season six.”

However, there is another side to this tale. Just this past week, The Vegas Eye spotted Angel and Holly rather cozy on a couch during a night out in Sin City. So, what’s the real deal going on? Is Angel just pursuing Holly, who remains loyal to Hef? Or is Holly milking the speculation to boost ratings for the 5th Season Premiere of The Girls Next Door on October 5th?

Much more on Holly Madison’s sexual habits, including the infamous video in which the Girls claim that Holly, Bridget, and Kendra are all bisexual in their Hef-love-life, can be found in an exclusive interview conducted by The UK Sun and Sun-TV here: Click Here

Tommy Lee And Kid Rock Throw Down At VMAs

At last nights MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears wasn’t the only one making an ass out of herself. Kid Rock and Tommy Lee got into it after Kid Rock reportedly punched Tommy Lee in the face. Kid Rock says that Tommy Lee instigated the fight by taunting him, saying “I never hit nobody for nothing before. I told him to shut the f–k up.”

As MTV VJ Sway reported during the post-show telecast:

quote-pic“Tommy Lee was sitting by Diddy. [Kid Rock] just walked up and decked him!”

According to an onlooker in the audience, “They had each other at the necks, they were practically strangling each other.” Another eyewitness saw Tommy Lee escorted out, “screaming the f-word over and over again.” He was taken out into main casino in front of thousands of fans.

Jamie Foxx added his two cents while presenting the Best New Artist award with Jennifer Garner. “Stop all of this white-on-white crime. Tommy Lee and Kid Rock fighting like black folks – it’s hilarious.” Foxx, added, “Who won? I was in the bathroom. Pamela Anderson has got a hard choice to make.”

Diddy wanted to get in on the fun too, and while he introduced the final performance he said, “I was supposed to be doing this with Kid Rock, but you know, we got to stop the violence. It’s not just hip-hop artists that fight.”

The police eventually came to Kid Rock’s hotel room and cited him for misdemeanor battery.

Seriously, Kid Rock? You choose the VMAs to punch Tommy Lee? It just kind of takes the hardcore out of the fight when you’re doing it in front of preteen fans who vote on Moon Men winners. I’m just sayin’.

What others are saying:

  • Mollygood says, “Still no word as to why the security team didn’t let the idiots kill each other.”
  • In Touch says, “Pamela Anderson’s two ex-husbands really don’t like each other.”
  • Celebrity Smack says, “And he didn’t open handed bitch slap him either, according to a witness, ‘Tommy got it pretty bad.’ Well yeah! Tommy Lee is a little scrawny dude and was probably wasted. That would be like kicking Keith Richards ass. It wouldn’t take much.”
  • celebitchy says, “Maybe that’s why tensions were high when Rock ran into Lee. Even if Lee hasn’t rekindled his relationship with the mother of his children, he still gets to see her often enough and I doubt she has much to do with Rock.”
  • Glitterati says, “How much do you want to bet they planned that to get a little attention for both of them? I mean, it’s not like you get into a relationship with Pam Anderson thinking you’ve got her attention always and forever, or that she’s never had a man before you.”
  • dlisted says, “Why didn’t MTV show this shit?! It would’ve been better than the crap they put onstage! Nothing says entertainment like two old has-beens duking it out.”
  • Best Week Ever says, “Kid Rock and Tommy Lee got kicked out of last night’s VMA Awards after getting into a fistfight over which one of them was the most irrelevant aging rocker in the room. Thank god Axl Rose wasn’t on hand, because there would have been an all-out riot.”
  • A Socialite’s Life says, “If Tommy Lee pressed those charges after starting shit, he is a sissy man. Tattoos and piercings and previous overdoses don’t make you a badass. Rednecks will school you. They will put down their can of Bud and their corncob pipe, whoop your ass, and then sit back down and resume listening to Toby Keith. Respect.”

UPDATE (Allie): Tommy issued a statement, via his own personal blog:

Yeah!! …..here I am minding my own biz having a great time with my friend Criss Angel (magician) and watching the MTV awards in the front row saying hello to all my friends……Pamela comes and sits on my lap who I love and adore….and also say hello to my friend Travis Barker and his wife!…..and i get a text from another friend P. Diddy and he says come sit with me…..and he’s sitting with Miss HOT Megan FOX so I go over and sit with P! Not a minute later and Alicia Keys starts her amazing performance….(“I apologize sweetie…..I had nothing to do with the timing and disrespect”)……back to the stupid-ness!!….so….. I get a tap on the shoulder from Kid Pebble…I stand up and embrace him with a semi hug and say “Hey dude…What up”?? He punches me in the face…..well if ya wanna call it that!?….more like a bitch slap!…….Wuss!! Anyway….i go to knock this jealous country bumpkin the f$%k OUT….and before I can have a meeting with my fist and his ugly ass mug ….security guards… grab me and haul my ass outta the award show! So I’m fine and of course leave to my room with police and owner of the Palm’s George Maloof……the rest is paper work and bullshit!… Anyway…… I would like to apologize to Alicia and George and MTV for the disrespectful bullshit caused by a piece of shit called Kid Pebble!!

Much Love always!!…..Tommy!!

Britney Spears Lollipops Filled With More Than Sugar

Britney Spears Lollipops Filled With More Than Sugar - PIC

So the truth comes out about those lollipops Britney Spears is always sucking on. Apparently, they’re Hoodia pops which suppresses her appetite and gives her more energy at the same time.

Spears was just spotted in Vegas last week where she and Criss Angel were on the dance floor seeing how many licks it took to get to the center of the confectionary treat together. Gross. Why doesn’t she just ask the first class illusionist to make her lovely lady lumps disappear?

Regardless, looks like she might have found a way to divert the rumors of the suckers being morphined laced.

Criss Angel Only Using Britney Spears For Attention

Criss Angel Only Using Britney Spears For Attention - PIC

It appears that the mindfreak, Criss Angel, is only hanging out with Britney Spears for all the media attention. And who’s surprised, exactly? Page Six calls him a “press whore” and says he was “ecstatic” when his manager, Jeff Kwatinetz, asked him to meet with Britney. The illusionist just signed a 10-year deal with the Luxor in Vegas for almost $10 million a year.

A source in Vegas said,

quote-pic“He doesn’t even really talk to her when they go out. This weekend at [club] LAX, they weren’t seated at the same table, but when the paparazzi were around he jumped in all the pictures. . . . The paparazzi all have his number.”

Britney started hanging out with Criss supposedly to use one of his magic tricks at the VMAs, but that idea’s been scrapped. “She is just doing a straight-up performance of her new single, ‘Gimme More’.”

What others are saying:

  • Celeb Warship says, “Homeboy is reportedly using the train-wreck singer to gain more fame and attention for himself. Aww, but he seemed like such a nice boy, didn’t he?”
  • The Superficial says, “So the secret to Criss Angel’s magic is to latch on to celebrity train wrecks and bask in the free publicity. Got it. What camera-grabbing illusion will he pull off next? Grief counselor for Owen Wilson? AA sponsor for Lindsay Lohan? Or perhaps he might – no. Jesus, no. He wouldn’t, would he? Dammit, his show is on A&E. He totally would. What if, for sheer publicity and in disregard of public safety, Criss Angel impregnated Paris Hilton?”

Britney Spears: How She Spent Her Time at the LAX Grand Opening

After her VERY BRIEF red carpet photo op, Britney Spears entered the LAX nightclub inside the Luxor Hotel & Casino Friday night, while her new single “Gimme More” was blasted over the sound system (DJ AM was already in the deejay booth spinning).

Heading directly to a VIP area, she spent the next hour and a half drinking mimosas and excessively flirting with Criss Angel.

As Criss wrapped his arms around Britney and whispered into her ear, a big smile appeared on her face as she clapped her hands in excitement.

Then the two left, along with her haggle of bimbos to Noir Bar, a speakeasy.

Synchronized Mimosa Downing, LOL!
I also like how she’s got Criss sucking on her signature lollipop.

So this is what a “host” does at a grand opening. How much was she paid to be there again? Oh yeah, just a mere $100,000. That’s money well spent, eh?


You would THINK, she’d realize that this was the best time for her to lay low, with her Federline custody battle and all, but then again… she’s not really that smart.

What other’s said:

  • Celebrity Warship says, “Aww, I love it when the seals at the aquarium clap their hands in excitement! I imagine the seals and Britney look quite similar in person.”

Criss Angel Moves On To Britney Spears

Criss Angel Moves On To Britney Spears - PIC

At 4 in the a.m. on Thursday, Britney Spears was spotted heading into the Towers Hotel in Beverly Hills with magician Criss Angel. The two were seen holding hands and headed up to a suite on the 11th floor together.

Somehow this “magician” is scoring Hollywood girls left and right, having previously been linked to Paris Hilton and Cameron Diaz. Cameron’s not bad, but the other two he’s been cozying up to could get this boy a reputation, if not a possible STD. I have no confirmation on Britney’s health, but the girl just looks dirty.

Cameron Diaz’s New Man?

Since the two ran into one another at the Live Earth show in New York, Cameron Diaz and Daniel de Rothschild have been spotted getting cozy around town. Rothschild is an environmentalist who was recently ranked second on Tatler’s list of hottest UK bachelors. He’s also an heir to quite the banking fortune.

Nice, Cameron. A HUGE step up from Criss Angel, and, as much as it pains me to say it because I loved him before he got all diva, Justin Timberlake. I think hippy looks good on Cameron.

Criss Angel Refutes Wife’s ‘Blatant Lies’

Criss Angel Refutes Wife

Reports to Criss Angel cheating on his wife with Cameron Diaz, not supporting her financially, and ‘hiding her’ from the media have caused Angel to make a public statement refuting the charges. Criss is calling all the accusations from his wife ‘blatant lies.’ He says,

quote-pic“It is with great sadness and disappointment that I feel the need to dignify and refute the inaccuracies, blatant lies and misrepresentations that my estranged wife and her attorney made last week in a New York courtroom and continue to make in the press.”

“When she filed her complaint over one year ago, and when she amended it twice she made no mention of alleged adultery or lack of financial support. I have always supported Joanne’s every expense. Essentially, I have paid for her every expense. Her claim that she was my ‘secret’ wife is preposterous and inaccurate. Our marriage was well known to my friends and all of my fans worldwide. She was featured prominently in the first two seasons of my (Mindfreak) show. She and her family were thanked and credited in every episode and in my recent autobiography.”

I guess if I even watched one episode of his stupid show, I’d know. And Cameron, I understand you’re on the rebound, but come on. You need to make yourself disappear.

Criss Angel Is Married?!?

Criss Angel

Criss Angel is married. Well, he was, but not for long. Apparently he kept his wife, Joanne Sarantakos, a secret “to increase his sex appeal to female fans.” That plan kinda backfired, huh, seeing as how there is a huge lack of any appeal.

Now Joanne is filing for divorce on the basis of mental cruelty and abandonment. (Whatever happened to just plain irreconcilable differences?) She is accusing Criss of having an affair with Cameron Diaz and claiming their marriage fell apart because he slept with her. Joanne’s attorney says he will subpoena Cameron to testify about the romance.

Joanne also says that even though Criss hit the big time last year earning $7 million, and is getting even bigger signing a $200 million contract in Vegas, he refused to give her a dime.

Apparently Criss’ ego took a little too big of a boost. Joanne’s father had this to say:

quote-pic“When his career took a jump forward, he became a different person. He’s in love with himself. He’s a narcissist. My daughter was never acknowledged as his wife. He told her it was a better single image, than a married image.”

Her brother also chimed in:

quote-pic“It’s almost as if he played the ‘Mindfreak’ game on her. He was controlling her. He’s basically living in a TV persona. Chris Sarantakos is dead – Criss Angel has taken over. He killed off his old self and morphed into his new self – it’s scary, really.”

When he declared himself the Mindfreak, at least he got half of it right.
