With all of the negative press swirling around the new Brat Pack (or as we like to call them, the Wack Pack), we thought we'd give some smiles and good press to our boy Colin. He donated $100,000 to a Uruguayan school to help them buy supplies they needed. What's even sexier about it? He did it in 2005, and we just now found out, which means that this guy truly gives from the heart. So sha!

Symine Salimpour, creator of the perfume Shiloh, just ended a five-month-long legal battle with Angelina Jolie who claimed that Symine stole the name from her. We're guessing that Angelina didn't want the perfume to get any notoriety or be associated with her own baby. We think that her plan backfired though, because who had actually heard of Shiloh the perfume before now? In the end, the courts decided it was just a coincidence.
Symine said: "It was just a huge misunderstanding. And besides having a baby named Shiloh -- because this perfume is my baby -- we can say we have two other things in common: We believe in human rights, and we love Brad Pitt!"

Not that it's any new news that Nicole is pregnant with boyfriend, Joel Madden's baby, but she just finally confirmed it. She's four months along.
In other Richie 411, check out this picture of her pillow. It seems like just yesterday that a pudgy Nicole looked right at a pap and said that she promised to never hide from the camera. Come on Nicole, don't you know that it doesn't even matter if you show us your face or not? We're still going to click, sell and publish it. Just live up to your word and come out. We know that it's you, because Joel's right there chillin'.
Joel and Nicole just look so Hollywood in this pic!

Usher and Tameka Foster's decision to call off the wedding seems to have been a mere postponement. We hear that there were several different conflicts going on. The couple was having creative differences while making plans for the big day. Add to this that Jonetta Patton, Usher's former momager was not totally excited about the holy union. (Not that her opinion should matter at all.) There's no word as to when we'll see Tameka in a wedding gown, but if everything stays as it is now, it's sure to happen at some point.
We're just wondering if Tameka has listened to any of Ush's music. He's a self-proclaimed creeper. Perhaps she's down like Shante Taylor, Snoop Dogg's wife of ten years, who was quoted as saying, "You may get to have my husband for one night, but I get him every single day." Talk about sticking it through the bad times!

Courtney Love looks a mess. She was spotted shopping at Kitson on Robertson Blvd. Doesn't look like the shop therapy is working for her. Maybe she should try a Xantax--oh wait ...

Twenty-four-year old Al Gore III, ex Vice-President Gore's youngest of four children, plead guilty to possession of marijuana, Vicodin, Valium and Xanax today after being caught driving in the O.C. at 100 mph. This is his second drug charge in four years.
Papa Gore has dubbed himself a leader of the national crusade against drugs. He vowed to push for "tougher drug penalties and enforcement" and his focus was on keeping drugs away from children. "I believe we should build a country in which every single addict who finds the power to reach out and say, 'I want help' gets an immediate response," he said.
And after Gore proposed that the federal government spend $500 million a year to curb drug use, he swears that his attempts have worked. A recent study "proved" that less kids were using drugs than in the years past. (This was likely a test orchestrated by the U.S. government who realized long ago that they were loosing the Drug War, and Little Al was most definitely not invited to fill out his survey.)
Bear in mind that Young Al grew up a product of the Regan administration who infiltrated our middle schools, commercials and TV programing with anti-drug messages such as "Just Say No" and "This is Your Brain on Drugs." It didn't work for America's youth, and it sure as hell wasn't successful even within the White House!
But forget about cleaning up the planet, Daddy Gore. Why not try to just clean up your own son? How can you even claim to be a success. Just look at these smiling parents. They must be so proud.

While you were sitting at home on Sunday watching an edited version of Office Space on TV, a dateless Jennifer Aniston turned up at pal Courtney Cox's Malibu party, wearing nothing attractive at all. This belted bag is not turning us on. But her messy hair is kinda cool though. (Does she ever have a bad hair day?) Also there to witness the fashion-crime was Sacha Baron Cohen with his prego wife and David Spade. Apparently no one had the nerve to say anything to Jen. Oh well. C'est la vie, n'est pas!

The E! Network has canceled the Simple Life. The reason? Their crazy lives are overshadowing the show, says an insider.
"We felt like the real life drama of their lives overshadowed anything happening on the show," says the source. "Viewers would see Paris all day long on the news about her going to jail, so they didn't care about seeing her camping with kids. It just was too played out."
What this insider meant to say is that truth is stranger than fiction--and far more interesting. It's just a field trip getting to see their real lives unfold before your eyes on the news. But watching them in set up, make believe situations is more like a pill. You kind of want to watch, but you know you're just wasting your time.
I was an avid fan of the show ... until I started to catch on to the game of it. There was a format that the producers found that "worked". Have the divas show up to a gig, the authority mysteriously disappears, the girls wreak havoc, and the shocked victim comes back to marvel over the disaster they created. Come on, people, seriously! Anyone who watches the show knows not to leave these girls alone with your kids or in your home or at your business.
I sit there watching, and I just can see the behind the scenes pre-pro conversation where the producer tells the person that they must leave and that they will be compensated for any damage that is done, all while encouraging the girls to do the most outrageous things possible. It has become so orchestrated that in the only one episode I saw this season, I recognized one of the girls on the fat camp episode. She's a struggling actress!
This paired with the fact that one of Paris' close friends came forward (can't remember who now) and said that "anyone who knows Paris, knows she wouldn't do these things." ... or something along those lines ... it just makes the whole thing very unappealing.
So a message to the producers. If you're listening, you can't call it reality TV and set it up like a scripted show. Your audience is not that stupid. We watch reality shows, because we want to see what goes on in real reality; not your warped, watered down, after-board-meeting-pre-determined-brainstorm sessions. It has nothing to do with over exposure so stop kidding. Your self sabotaging your own show!

Whether she's getting married in ripped jeans, swimming in her panties, shaving her head, or doing nothing at all, we are in love with Brit. The only thing slightly upsetting about her is her wardrobe decisions. It's hit or miss with her. We've read media reports that say that before Kevin came along, Britney was beautiful, making perfect couture decisions each and every time. After Kevin, they say, she turned into a total slob. We just don't see it that way.
Need we remind you of the denim disaster when she showed up wearing matching outfits with then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake to that awards show? And it was around that same time that she was wearing the all black leather S&M getup. These were just two pre-Kev goofs. Her craziness continued on throughout the relationship when she wore all black lace and a chihuahua accessory to another red carpet. (Couture vomit!)
On the flip side, there were the pre-K right ons like the slick orange suit she wore to a concert and the green skirt and python shirt she wore while performing at yet another awards show. And we dug that shot of her in her video when she wore all rhine stones, no clothes. And even though she was a little slacker-sheek while toting around town with K-Fed, we liked the cut off shorts. You know, the ones with the pockets hanging out of the bottoms? And trucker caps were totally in that season.
And now that she's single again, it's back to the same old stuff. Fashion faux pas, followed by fashion goddess. We don't know what the hell she's doing with this green bandana on. But we could stare at her for hours in this floral dress, and both of these pictures were taken this past weekend. Kevin is nowhere to be found.
So please don't put all her bad decisions off on Kevin. Let responsibility go where it is due.

Yep. That's right. Claire flashes the cameras on the Canadian MTV Live. I mean, not that she has any breasts, but still. Probably not her proudest moment. And definitely blog-worthy. Perhaps not as good as Tara Reid, but whatever. So long as we live in America, where people make a huge deal out of bare boobs, we might as well point it out.

Travis Barker was spotted at the beach with his two children Landon and Alabama. Though he's still split from his wife Shanna Moakler, she was quoted as saying that he is the love of her life. It doesn't seem to be making anything better for party-girl drama queen, but who knows. Stranger things have happened in Hollywood.

Everyone has an opinion, and celebrities are offering their support to Lindsay during this crazy time.
When asked what he had to say about Lilo, this is what Donald Trump said, "Find what you love doing (other than drugs and alcohol), work hard, stay focused, and get a new set of parents."
Dr. Drew Pinsky said, "The problem is that early in treatment, you don't have this active craving, and you think you can walk into an environment and be around the old triggers and not have it result in using, which is a common mistake."
Drew Barrymore said, "I know Lindsay and I like her very much ... I think, do what you want, just be professional."
About Lindsay, Dr. Phil said, "Somebody's going to have to step up and tell these young talents that they're not bulletproof, I just hope somebody doesn't have to get dead before somebody wakes up and says 'we've got to wake up and slow down'."
Joe Simpson said, "I feel sad for her and for what she is going through. Teenagers become women and become adults and in this fast-paced life everyone struggles. It's never too late. That's what's beautiful about Hollywood and our dreams, and I think she can definitely come back. She's a wonderful actress with wonderful gifts."
So there you have it. Hey Lindsay, are you listening?

Picture this: You wake up in the morning to a call from a telemarketer named Jennifer Aniston who's trying to sell you something you don't want. You go to drop your kids off at daycare and Ashanti is there to watch them. On your lunch break, you go to Burger King where Queen Latifah is working at the drive through.
At the end of the day, you go to get a movie at Blockbuster, rang up by none other than Adam Brody, just before stopping off at the toy store to grab some weekend essentials from Jack Nicholson. Is it possible that you've entered the Twilight Zone? Not at all. This is what they were doing before they were famous.

You have a very important day planned. You rush over to get a hair cut from Brandy, have your shoes shined by Bill Cosby, all while taking a call from Clint Eastwood to see if you're ready for him to come and install your pool the next day.
You set plans with him before hanging up to call your limo driver, Brad Pitt, and head out to the bar with your friends. Vin Diesel checks your license and Sandra Bullock pours you a drink. Are you dreaming? We think not. This is what they were doing before they were famous.

Reality TV sweethearts, Ryan and Trista Sutter, who met, fell in love, and got married on national TV, finally gave birth to their baby boy, Maxwell Alston, yesterday. The baby came four weeks early due to pregnancy complications, and he weighed only 5 lbs. 3 oz. Everyone seems to be doing just fine now, so no worries on that end. We just have one question ... Why wasn't America invited to see the reality royalty's arrival!?

Nicole is pictured here with supporting guy Joel Madden, who's been looking after her during her court battles resulting from her bad girl behavior last December.
Here at Flynet, we are OUTRAGED at the verdict for Nicole's latest DUI!! What?? Paris blows a .8 (which is the equivalent to LESS THAN one beer), drives on a suspended, and gets 23 days, and Nicole gets pulled over while parked in the carpool lane headed in the wrong direction, and she gets FOUR FREAKING DAYS in jail?
I mean, not that we'd wish jail on even our worst enemy, but this girl could've killed someone! And this was her SECOND DUI. And how can the laws be written so carelessly?
But please. We don't feel threatened by the fact that Paris Hilton is out on the road. Not one bit. Drive that Bentley, baby. But the fact that we could've quite possibly got into a head on collision with a disoriented, drugged up Nicole is just scary.
Lindsay, you're up next.
Seriously girls! As if glamorizing drugs, alcohol and trashy cat fight behavior isn't bad enough, you have to go and make jail the new Hilton? WHAT. THE. F(BLEEEEEEEP)!?

Paris Hilton has been working on her next CD. "I'm already working on my new record," Paris said. "I've been in meetings with Scott Storch, and we've been working on it."
Her first album, Stars are Blind, reached the top five in Canada, Ireland and the U.K. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 18. In Europe, it peaked at number three and hit number one in several other countries. The album made the top five in the World Singles Chart.
Can someone please explain to me why everyone keeps saying that Paris has no talent!? Can someone please explain how you can have a world hit yet everyone swears you can't sing? Paris Hilton CAN sing, damn it! First she was famous for being famous. So then she gets a career, and even that isn't good enough?
Have you seen her video for Nothing in this World? Go to http://www.MySpace.com/ParisHilton. It’s about an underdog who comes out on top. Her message is clear: "Sometimes a dreamer is a loser. Sometimes a loser wins. DARE TO DREAM."
Don't tell me that this song's not dope!

And while we're on the topic of music ... Have you heard that new song Lean Like a Cholo? I was driving down the road several weeks ago when this song came on the radio. It had a good hook so I continued to listen even though I didn't know who it was.
When the rapping started, I automatically assumed that this MUST be the new K. Fed song since everyone keeps ragging on him for his inability to rap. As soon as a friend told me that it was NOT Mr. Spears, I assumed it had to be Weird Al's apprentice. I was just trying to make sense of the whole disaster.
So out of curiosity, I went to Kevin's website to hear what he has going on. Now go ahead--call me crazy, but I just really like his rapping. You can hear it for yourself at http://www.kevinfederline.com/. And for God's sake, PLEASE give the guy a fair chance before you judge. Don't be sucha media puppet!!
Tell us what you think.

While Kathy Griffin is wanting to push her D celebrity status to an A by winning the next seat on the View, she certainly isn't helping her own case at all. This is what she had to say ...
"I'll just say that Barbara Walters is a very complicated woman, I like her but she doesn't get me at all. She doesn't even have any pretense of getting me. I don't play up to her or anybody because I don't know how. My mother is always yelling at me to kiss ass! I'm really trying to learn. I wish I could tell you, 'I know how to get Barbara Walters into the palm of my hand.' But I just don't have that ability. That's why I always get into trouble."
This is just one of the coolest things that we have ever seen. Seriously. Let's just put it this way ... if I was vying for a job at E! News (like the best gig in the world), and President Bush was calling the shots (like public enemy number 1), I'd bat my eyes and smile and forget to mention how I think he hasn't done not one thing right since he took over the White House. But I'd definitely kick myself for that much later.
The truth is, Barbara couldn't possibly get Kathy's humor, because Barbara is fast approaching 100. Regardless of if she's a celebrity or not, she's still on her way out. And we all know that old people are stuck in their ways.
Kathy is beautiful simply because she doesn't conform. Go get 'em girl! And tell yo mama to fall back.

In response to Britney's OK! Magazine shoot, we just have to say that it's sad how everyone's making a big deal out of nothing. People are buzzing about the shoot, and this is what Sarah Ivens, editor-in-chief had to say ...
"It was like a cry for help really, it wasn't normal. We were all devastated. ... It was a tough decision to run with the story. We're really hoping that it will provide a wakeup call for her and for the people around her."
So what could've possibly been so bad that would cause these words to come out of Sarah's mouth? Britney is charged with the following crimes ...
Brit's Crime: Her dog pooped on a $6,700 designer gown
Flynet's Response: What was an expensive dress doing on the floor? In any event, accidents DO happen, you know. How was that even Britney's fault?
BC: Took frequent bathroom breaks with the door open
FR: What? The girl can't even go to the bathroom without someone throwing a fit?
BC: Brought her assistant to the bathroom with her
FR: Uh, hello!? It's common knowledge that all girls go to the bathroom together. Duh!
BC: She wiped her hands on a $274 gown after lunch
FR: Not that anyone here at our office would wipe dirty hands on a designer dress in the middle of a photo shoot, but we just don't see how this is psychotic, bizarre or even weird behavior. Could be accidental.
BC: Had her friends do her hair and make up, rather than professionals
FR: Perhaps there was something that they could do that she liked best. Givin' the staff a break is bad for why???
BC: Let the stylist know that she didn't like the wardrobe
FR: So we all know that she can't dress. And this isn't the first stylist she's clashed with. It’'s called having a different opinion, and so far as we know, that's no crime at all!
BC: Left the shoot early, still wearing some of the magazine's clothes
FR: Odd and unexplainable, perhaps. But how does this translate into a cry for help? Haven't you ever heard of having a bad day?
Whatever. These are the facts. You decide.

In case you haven't heard, allow us to confirm the truth. The Spice Girls have officially announced their latest world tour. So for those of you who skipped a meal back in '98 when the bunch went bust, rest easy. Starting in L.A. on Dec. 7, the girls will make their way from here to New York to Las Vegas, Beijing, Sydney, Madrid and London, among other top cities on Earth. They'll be spinning out tunes that we all know and love, but so far as we know today, we won't be hearing any new material, (though it has certainly been recently discussed). Here at Flynet, we tend to think that the magic can be recreated ... or at least we hope so anyway. Girl Power!! !! !!
And in other Spice related news ... Posh and Becks are making out quite nicely. They've started to move into the $22 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills, and they've had a ton of support while doing it. You know how when you move to a new neighborhood, you feel like the lone soldier? The new kid on the block? You'd be way more than lucky if one of your neighbors popped up with a meat loaf, but even that likely wouldn't be a probable scenario.
Well this isn't exactly the same reaction that the Beckham's have had. On their laundry list of celebs who have welcomed them to the States? Eva Longoria, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Demi More, Roseanne Barr, Jackie Collins, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Lopez, and obviously Katie and Tom. The list literally goes on and on ...
Their decision to move here came after David signed a deal with Galaxy to play soccer, and this simple signature on an ordinary piece of computer paper will be earning him a round $250 million dollars over the length of his contract with the team.
And in addition to their first home, they're already talking about the next--a Malibu estate. And as if this isn't enough, Posh has planned a series of shopping sprees with Katie. While David is great at making the money, Posh's greatest asset is that she's dope at spending it.
But before you judge on that alone, consider this. It looks like her career's about to take off once again. It has been rumored that Posh is working on getting a role on Desperate Housewives, American Idol and the return of the Spice Girls has already been confirmed. Back in demand? Let's just say that it looks as though Posh and Becks are quickly conquering the world, one country at a time.

90% were right on. Downgrade!

Paris Hilty was spotted out on Tuesday night at Guy's karaoke. After she sang a song or so, she started making out with Cisco Adler, and she even gave him a lap dance. Eew! Someone please explain?
On another note, we wanted to carefully point out some essential inside info about celebs. The job of the PR rep is to guide the stars on how to best project a perfect image to the public. Without cooperation, their basically just an illusionist. If they had full understanding, they'd likely have to be called therapists. PR people know what we want to see, and one of the tricks up their sleeve is to instruct their clients, after tragedy, to turn it all around. After all, America loves a good redemption story.
Now it's perhaps a minute too early for us to tell if Paris' post jail interview with People Magazine was from the heart or from the rep, but we can't help but wonder if public lap dances on grungy rock stars, is conducive to a life of do gooding. Just having a little fun? Or still lost in the wood? Fly swatters stay tuned ...
