Did Rihanna answer a ‘booty call’ from Ashton?
Older readers – you know who you are – will recall the expression “non-denial denial,” a buzzword of Richard Nixon’s gang in Watergate days.
The phrase came to mind this week after somebody asked Rihanna, at a London press conference, about being spotted coming out of
Ashton Kutcher’s house at 4 the other morning. Are they having some quality time together?
Here’s her answer: “Wow, how disappointing was that question. I’m happy and I’m single, if that’s what you’re really asking.”
Uh, no. Actually, the question was “did you get a booty call from Ashton Kutcher?” But no girl in her right mind would admit to that. Just one of those things: It’s all over between Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana, Us Weekly reports.
They were first spotted all smoochy on New Year’s Eve, but “they’re definitely not together” now, says Don’t use my name. In fact, they “weren’t super serious at all.”
He’s 37, she’s 33.
Been following the Trayvon Martin case? Florida teenager, black, shot and killed by a white man who claims selfdefence? I don’t know about the facts of the case, but black activists are insisting it’s pure racism.
Filmmaker Spike Lee went so far as to tweet the home address of the shooter, one George Zimmerman, which sure sounds like an invitation to vigilantism.
Guess what? Wrong address. David and Elaine McClain, the old folks who do live there – and have no connection to the case – paused in moving to an undisclosed location long enough to call a lawyer.
Lee apologized quickly, but that won’t do him much good. This is going to cost him bigtime.
The cops seeking the person who cleaned up Whitney Houston’s hotel room after her death will be wanting a word with her close friend Raffles van Exel, a Dutchborn “entertainment consultant” who told De Telegraaf, a Dutch paper, that he tidied up the place.
Cops are interested since the coroner said Houston had just taken cocaine when she died Feb. 11, but there was no coke, coke spoon, rolled-up currency, etc., in the room.
Van Exel, who was also friendly with Michael Jackson, is 32.
Bobby Brown has lost his immunity under the Important Persons Act, and could do six months in the hoosegow if convicted in California following a traffic stop on Monday.
His blood alcohol level was .12 per cent, says the N.Y. Daily News, while .08 is the maximum allowed. There’s also the matter of driving with a suspended licence.
He’s 43.
If you liked Will Ferrell’s 2004 movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy – aw, c’mon, somebody must have liked it – then you’ll be pleased to know that a sequel is coming.
Ferrell turned up on Conan O’brien’s show the other night, in full Ron B. costume, to announce the news. But it wasn’t a hoax.
Associated Press says Paul Rudd and Steve Carell will also be back, and director Adam Mckay and producer Judd Apatow are both back in the saddle.
