EEEWWWWW!

I worked for an airlines for 8 yrs and saw LOTS of 15 minute types and better! One time Sarah Fergeson was on our flight. She and her people took all 12 seats in 1st class. When she pre boarded, she very sweetly and VERY unassuming introduced herself to everyone, "Hello, my name is Sarah. So very nice to meet you."

Right... and he went in alone... I missed him on his return from the bathroom - sooo wanted to see if his "allergies" might have been acting up... Planes and sinuses.....

As it turns out, he was on our flight. About halfway thru the flight - he got up and went into the restroom, and let me just tell you - he was in there a looooong time. Hmmmm.... So as we land in Long Beach, he is walking thru the airport to baggage claim at the same time as my husband so my husband held up his camera phone for a pic. (Mind you, NO ONE has noticed him yet!!) Dave became rather irritated and blocked the shot. He then stood at baggage check for a good 15 minutes with NO ONE recognizing him. Don't know what the big flippin deal would have been about a picture - apparently he needs the exposure...

BTW - he is an extremely small man... and someone needs to explain to him that the "no smoking" rule in planes applies to EVERYONE...

That kind of sums it all up!! He IS a small man....kind of reminds me of a human cartoon! ewwwwww!

I've read in several places that Navarro is 5'9". In what reality? I might give him 5'7", but even that is questionable.

[Margaritaville]

I would have to say closer to 5'7"...

Since it's well known that Lohan herself is almost illiterate, it'll be interesting to see which ghost writer gets the lovely job of trying to make Lohan's side of things sound sympathetic to her.

Lindsay Lohan plans to pen her memoirs
OK! Magazine reports that Lindsay Lohan is sold on making a memoir about her life happen.

Between working at the morgue and befriending Italian men, Lindsay Lohan has reportedly found time to begin penning her memoirs, which is part “Little Girl Lost” by Drew Barrymore and part inside look at being an “it” girl.

OK! Magazine reports that she’s sold on making the book happen, but money woes might be her motivation.

The mag says that Lohan, who’s widely reported to be cash poor after spending months at rehab, actually had to borrow $10,000 from pal Steve-O. Lohan’s rep denies this, but pals close to the Razzie-nominated starlet say Lohan is starting to worry. “She regrets all the cash she threw around the last couple years,” one friend told me. “She needs everything to fall into place and get her back on track, and fast.”

An interesting thing about memoirs from 20ish starlebs who've lived and promoted themselves in the media for most of the years anyone has cared about them. I really doubt there's anything someone like Lohan has to say that we already don't know about her, not to mention that her credibility factor is probably about Zero. Someone like Drew Barrymore, mentioned in the article, is a different animal than a Lindsey Lohan, a Britney Spears, or a Paris Hilton, etc. While Drew's wild side wasn't a state secret, she certainly didn't have the paps on her speed dials and flaunt her excesses and bad behaviour to the public and media every possible chance she could get, even making those chances occur. So anyone interested in Drew would have a good reason to want to read her book about her life, since there was so much the public didn't know. Is there really anything we don't know about Lohan, Spears, Hilton, etc.? Makes me shudder to know we even know what color hair is on their peekachoos, thanks to their fashion policies of panties optional.

I for one already know way more than I ever cared to about Lindsay Lohan. If there is anything I don't know - I just don't care.

She might have fallen victim early to the hollywood lifestyle, but she was given many opportunities to turn it around. Her choice to continue in her partying ways is on her. She gets no sympathy from me. Grow up, already - we don't care.

Emma Thompson is officially my personal hero. Okay, she pretty much was already, but now I love her even more. She's one of the coolest women on the planet.

Brit actress saved by outraged Emma

The English actress Emma Thompson has stepped in to protest about an up-and-coming British actress, of seemingly perfect proportions, being required by an American film company to lose weight for her next role. Hayley Atwell may be the latest muse of Woody Allen, starring in his new film Cassandra's Dream, but she didn't measure up for Miramax Films, who are behind the big-screen remake of Brideshead Revisited.

Having been cast as Julia Flyte, the gilded scion of an aristocratic family played in the original TV series by Diana Quick, the 25-year-old Londoner was asked to shed a few pounds.

Thompson, who appears in the remake as Lady Marchmain (opposite Michael Gambon in the old Laurence Olivier role as Lord Marchmain), learned of Atwell's predicament when she invited her to dinner at her home.

Says Atwell: "I went round to Emma's one night and she was getting very angry that I wasn't eating all the food she was giving me. I told her why and she hit the roof." The no-nonsense Thompson was so outraged that she called the producers the next day and threatened to resign from the film if they forced Atwell to lose weight. Faced with Thompson - a two-times Oscar winner - on the warpath, Miramax Films swiftly relented.

^ Totally ridiculous. Hayley Atwell is beautiful and a perfectly normal size. How skewed are Hollywood producers anyways?
Good for Emma Thompson! She's a true role model - great actress and great person to boot.
