Reportedly there are nude photos of Anne Hathaway among the effects seized by the FBI in their raid of her boyfriend’s hidden storage space.
Hathaway’s boyfriend of four years, Raffaello Follieri, was arrested late last month on federal charges of money laundering and fraud after an elaborate scheme in which he bilked investors out of millions.
Hathaway’s personal belongings, including personal diaries, were among the items confiscated by the FBI in their search for evidence in the case against Follieri. Now it seems that nude photos of the actress taken by her ex were also found. Her brother was seen trying to retrieve items from the storage which the FBI had raided the day before, and it’s possible he was looking specifically for those pictures.
Follieri is now in NY’s Metropolitan Correctional Center and has been unable to raise bail, which has been set at $21 million.
Donald Trump likes sticking his mouth in other people’s business.
The ‘Apprentice’ boss, who famously feuded with Rosie O’Donnell, is taking on another Hollywood woman. This time it’s ‘Get Smart’ star Anne Hathaway, MSNBC reports.
Trump thinks it was wrong of Hathaway to leave her boyfriend Rafaello Follieri just days before he was arrested for fraud.
“She hasn’t remained very loyal to him, has she?” Trump tells Access Hollywood.
“So when he had plenty of money, she liked him, but then after that, not as good, right?” he added.
Trump adds his thoughts on the disgraced businessman, who lived in one of Trump’s buildings.
“I’ve heard he’s very nice,” Trump said. “According to the help, no problems. But he’s got himself in a jam.”
Follieri, an Italian businessman who dated Hathaway for over 4 years, was arrested in June on charges he posed as a representative of the Vatican to fleece wealthy investors in a real estate company that sought to buy and redevelop Roman Catholic Church property.
Bail was set at $21 million. Federal prosecutors said they have “overwhelming” evidence that he improperly spent up to $6 million from investors, much of it on a lavish lifestyle, including privately chartered jet travel with his girlfriend and others, expensive meals and clothing and that apartment in one of Trump’s buildings.
The Italian businessman has been charged with wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering charges. What a douche.
Raffello is accused of falsely telling an investor that he had been appointed as the chief financial officer of the Vatican. The pope will not be pleased.
As a result of that connection, he claimed others could obtain properties of the Catholic church in the United States, at a substantial discount to fair market value.
While I am not a horror flick fan, I do find number 9 on the list of annoying people insulting. Uwe Boll can’t take criticism, but who can these days? After a few of movies sucked and the critics let him have it, he challenged the to a “boxing match.” Yes, because punching someone will prove you have the artistic skills to make films. If that is the case then Mohamed Ali is the next Steven Spielberg. To make matters worse for himself he also makes fun of the September 11th attacks.
Perez Hilton is scraping the bottom of the barrel at 8th place. The self entitled “Queen of the Media” is the subject of lawsuits when celebs hear the name of the z-lister they cringe. When fellow bloggers hear the moniker we slap our heads in shame. His barely informative dribble marked with white dots and drawings make me feel dirty. (Not in a good way.)
7th place goes to the guy who put the life of Prince Harry in danger to score some press. Matt Drudge also earns his annoyance award for defending Mark Foley’s indiscretions with congressional pages. He was also wrapped up in some “Openly Gay Canadian issues.
Chris Crocker sits happily at spot 6. This is the guy/girl…manimal that went crazy and tried to defend Britney Spears by screaming and crying with a sheet over his/her head. After comparing her to “as big of a topic as 9/11” Crocker didn’t make friends. Britney herself was insulted by the video of the rant. Good God, what do you have to do to insult someone who is kosher with shaving her head and wearing fishnet stockings while foaming at the mouth for Red Bull and blow?
The spot in fifth place is blog hater Buzz Bissinger. He was on the HBO program “Costas Now” to rip apart the blogging world. While I respect (but disagree with ) his thoughts that blogs “destroy journalism” he decided to go crazy and get violent in making his point. I hardly find it necessary to bust out my clubs and dueling pistols to chat about journalistic integrity.
4th place belongs to Michael Crook. He is the most hated for his views on the military. He is genuinely an idiot that devoted a site to “Forsake Our Troops.” The general opinion of this turd is that military men and women are “scumbags” and deserve to die. He feels that the are overpaid for putting their life on the line on a daily basis providing him with right to sit at home a be a douche bag. This is the type of guy who bitches about the military issues but is the first to call on them when our country is attacked.
Number three is, of course, Rosie O’Donnell. The former Queen of Nice now uses the internet to blog haikus of political views. (Yes I realize that rhymed.) The good thing about this is that you aren’t forced into visiting her blog.
The “Spam King” is under the scope of hatred at number two. Robert Soloway is responsible for using the net to lure people into giving out info via spam e-mail. Currently he is facing 26 years in jail thanks to charges of e-mail fraud, identity theft and tax evasion. Yes, he is the assclapper that started the “Strategic Partnership Against Microsoft Illegal Spam.”
Tila Tequila takes first place. After tempting pervs out there with the promise of bisexuality and being a total skank failed to impress the masses her music is just the icing on the cake. Page Six isn’t a fan of her or her musical endeavors…and neither are her “fans.” Her first single sold a measly 13,000 copies. Ouch.

Convicted “D.C. Madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey railed against what she called a “modern-day lynching” in notes to her mother and sister before hanging herself at her mother’s Florida home, police disclosed Monday.
Police in Tarpon Springs, Florida, released Palfrey’s suicide notes Monday, along with autopsy results confirming her cause of death as a suicide. Her mother and sister confirmed the notes’ authenticity, police said.
“I cannot live the next 6 to 8 years behind bars for what you and I have both come to regard as this ‘modern-day lynching’ only to come out of prison in my late 50s a broken, penniless and very much alone woman,” she wrote.
The front of the note was marked “Do not revive (DNR). Do not feed under any circumstance.”
Palfrey, 52, was convicted of money laundering, racketeering and mail fraud in April. She had been staying at her mother’s Tarpon Springs home while awaiting sentencing in July and told ABC News last year she would never return to prison after serving time in the 1990s for other prostitution-related charges.
“You must comprehend there was no way out, I.E. ‘exit strategy,’ for me other than the one I have chosen here,” Palfrey wrote in the note to her sister.
Palfrey released the telephone records of her business, Pamela Martin & Associates, to reporters as she awaited trial. Those records linked two high-profile officials to her firm — State Department official Randall Tobias, who resigned in May 2007 after confirming he patronized Palfrey’s business, and Sen. David Vitter, R-Louisiana, who apologized last July for “a very serious sin in my past.”
Neither Tobias nor Vitter have faced charges in the case.
During her trial, Palfrey insisted she ran only a legal escort service — “Basically a bunch of benign women who want to make a living,” she told CNN in March. “This is not racketeering by any means — this is running a business.”
Palfrey was convicted April 15 in connection with a high-end prostitution ring catering to Washington’s elite. She was found guilty of money laundering, racketeering and mail fraud and faced a maximum 55-year prison term at her sentencing, scheduled for July 24.
She had said in interviews that she would kill herself before going to prison.
“I’m looking at 55 years in a federal penitentiary, and at my age, that is virtually a life sentence,” Palfrey told CNN Radio’s Ninette Sosa in March. “Realistically, we estimate between eight and 15 years. I’m also looking at the complete forfeiture of my entire life savings and work.”
She said in the interview that the government “went after me. They found out that I’m not who they thought I was, and instead of dropping the whole matter, they decided to press forward and — what the heck — she’s a woman, she’s weak. We’ll intimidate her, we’ll humiliate her, we’ll pounce on this poor lady and she’ll give in.”
Palfrey also told writer Dan Moldea, who was helping her write a book, that she would commit suicide rather than return to jail, according to Time magazine.
Britney marched into the Betsey Johnson store on Melrose with a Dolce & Gabbana dress in tow.
She wanted them to replicate the designer’s dress, but in all white and demanded they have it ready, that night. I guess purchasing the dress wasn’t an option?
According to a witness, “the staff explained that they didn’t have a dressmaker on call who could do it in time.” Never mind that the frock she wanted copied wasn’t even their label.
“The only thing she wanted to buy in the store was the yellow wig on a mannequin in the window,” laughs the source. “The manager eventually agreed to offer it to her for $100.”
Could you please steal this dress for me?
What others said:
Dlisted says, “Brit take that shit down to Chinatown! They will even give you a massage with happy ending while you wait. And why the hell does Brit need a white dress to wear that night? Wedding!”
“The journalists at X17 conducted extensive research for the reporting of this story and we felt the evidence was too strong to ignore. Alexandra Paressant’s claims were significant and newsworthy and we are continuing to uncover more details each day in our continued investigation.”
Tony Parker is asking for $20 million! Shouldn’t Tony be suing the bimbo instead? I mean, she’s the one who gave X17 Online the information in the first place.
What others said:
Dlisted says, “This would’ve never happened if Eva would’ve just taken a load to the face every now and again.”
Kim Kardashian has a lot going on these days. She has recently been spotted out and about with Terrence Howard, who is separated from his wife of 14 years. A Page Six spy spotted the two arriving and “making out” at Tenjune and Butter last week.
“They were all over each other,” snitched the onlooker. “She was sitting on his lap and he was rubbing her butt.”
Maybe he wasn’t so much rubbing her butt as there was no where else to put his hand. That thing could be hard to get around. And yes, Kim Kardashian ass jokes will never get old.
Kim is quite busy these days, with an E! reality show and now a Playboy cover shoot to be released on the December magazine. Supposedly the photos “will show one boob, and her bare butt.” Kim’s 12-page pictorial “will be one of the longest spreads Hef has done in a long time,” says a source.
What others are saying:
Mollygood says, “Now, what’s the baby wipe budget for this union?”
dlisted says, “Terrence Howard infamously said a few weeks ago that he would only date a woman that uses baby wipes on her a-hole and gina. He said toilet paper does not get the area clean enough. … COME ON TERRENCE! That tramp is as clean as a truck stop urinal in the summertimes!”
Best Week Ever says, “Kim Kardashian will appear in December’s issue of Playboy, and will reportedly show “one boob and her bare butt.” The butt, obviously, is blocking the other boob.”

Dan Rather, whose career at CBS News came to a screeching halt 15 months ago over his role in an unsubstantiated report questioning President Bush’s Vietnam-era National Guard service, filed a $70 million lawsuit this afternoon against the network, its corporate parent VIACOM and three of his former bosses.
SHOCKER! Who saw this one coming?
Mr. Rather, 75, asserts that the network violated his contract by giving him insufficient airtime on “60 Minutes” after forcing him to step down as anchor of the “CBS Evening News” in March 2005. He also contends that the network committed fraud by commissioning a “biased” and incomplete investigation of the flawed Guard broadcast and, in the process, “seriously damaged his reputation.” As plaintiffs, the suit names CBS and its chief executive, Leslie Moonves; Viacom and its chief executive, Sumner Redstone; and Andrew Heyward, the former president of CBS News.
In the suit, filed this afternoon in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, Mr. Rather charges that CBS and its executives made him “a scapegoat” in an attempt “to pacify the White House,” though the formal complaint presents virtually no direct evidence to that effect. To buttress this claim, Mr. Rather quotes the executive who oversaw his regular segment on CBS Radio, telling Mr. Rather in November 2004 that he was losing that slot, effective immediately, because of “pressure from ‘the right wing.’ ”
He also continues to take vehement issue with the appointment by CBS of Richard Thornburgh, an attorney general in the administration of the elder President Bush , as one of the two outside panelists given the job of reviewing how the disputed broadcast had been prepared.
Mr. Rather sums up that he was forced to apologize on air, even though he felt no apology was warranted.
Mr. Rather says in the filing that he allowed himself to be reduced to little more than a patsy in the furor that followed, after CBS — and later the outside panel it commissioned — concluded that the report was based on documents that could not be authenticated. Under pressure, Mr. Rather says, he delivered a public apology on his newscast on Sept. 20, 2004 — written not by him but by a CBS corporate publicist — “despite his own personal feelings that no public apology from him was warranted.”

The Lohan divorce was recently finalized, and Dina Lohan has already moved on with boyfriend Jim McMillan. Michael Lohan has accused McMillan of getting drunk around his kids and making inappropriate comments. Now McMillan is firing back in his own email to Page Six, calling Michael a violent, drug-abusing criminal who never deserved his “classy, intelligent” ex-wife.
The letter:
“First and foremost, I am a gentleman. I have never been inebriated in front of [the children] or said anything about a man I know nothing about. I did decide to learn about Michael Lohan and did a quick background check. The following is public record, fact and irrefutable: On 10/13/84, you struck, choked and kicked Susan L. Hubbard of Ohio, causing fractured facial bones.
“In [New York], there are 10 arrest records found for securities fraud, DWI, assault, grand larceny . . . Dina has never been arrested or charged with anything.
“Upon getting out of jail, you hire a publicist and start a smear campaign against your children’s mom. You take a photo of her holding a water bottle at your daughter’s premiere, and you call her a party mom. You . . . accuse her of being an alcoholic, a drug user, an unfit mom and a philanderer.
“You do it in a very public way and force them to deal with the fallout. If you want to assassinate someone’s character, leave Dina alone. She is way out of your league. She is a classy, intelligent, loving mom . . .
“Work hard, support your children, stay clean and sober, privately make amends for the physical and psychological abuse you have inflicted in the past, so your children can have closure.”
Take that, crazy Lohan.
What others are saying:
Us Weekly says, “Dina Lohan’s new boyfriend isn’t taking any lip from Michael Lohan.”
Best Week Ever says, “The ball is in your assaulty, DUI-filled court, Mr. Lohan.”
