Madonna, A-Rod fly out to meet the Seinfelds

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of Madonna and Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez? Jerry Seinfeld knows. The New York Post's Page Six says the pair recently jetted off in two private helicopters (how does that work?) to Seinfeld's 12-acre estate in the Hamptons. Are they all that close? Yes, yes they are.

"The Seinfelds have been friends with Madonna for years. They're neighbors on the West Side, so it's really no surprise," a source said. "And Jerry and (wife) Jessica go to her concerts whenever she's in town."

This all allegedly went down on Oct. 21, when A-Rod took a helicopter to East Hampton and was picked up by a white Porsche 911, which is what Jessica drives. About 40 minutes later, Madge arrived at the same airfield.

"A dark SUV and Jerry in another Porsche both pulled up and picked up Madonna and they headed back to Jerry's place," a witness said. "When they arrived at the Seinfeld home, Madonna poked her head out the window and could be clearly seen."

But what went down is anyone's guess, since they all headed back to the airfield about four hours later, with Madge and the Seinfelds leaving in her chopper and A-Rod's ride leaving shortly after. Maybe they were having some kind of Masonic-style, world-controlling meeting rigging the World Series against the Rays. How else do you explain that crew of umpires?

'Spider-Man 4' lands a Pulitzer-winning writer

Playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his 2007 drama Rabbit Hole, is in negotiations to write Spider-Man 4 for Columbia, the Hollywood Reporter writes.

Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are back as director and star, respectively, as are series producers Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad. Kirsten Dunst also is expected to return for the latest movie featuring the Marvel Comics character.

While plot details were under wraps, we think they’ll be okay as long as they don’t try to cram four villains in there.

Fox won’t renew ‘King of the Hill’ for next year

After 13 seasons of suburbanite redneck humor, Fox has axed King of the Hill. The series, which has been nearly canceled several times previously, will not be renewed, the Hollywood Reporter says.

In April, Fox picked up 13 more episodes from the 20th Century Fox TV-produced show, which are wrapping production.

Creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge have moved on to other projects since the show debuted in 1997 — Daniels developing and running NBC’s The Office and Judge bringing The Goode Family to ABC in midseason.

Nicole Kidman talks about alcoholism, babies

Nicole Kidman opens up about hubby Keith Urban's alcoholism in the latest ish of Parade, telling the tabloid that his addiction was understandably quite the ordeal.

"We were thrown into his alcohol problem three months into the marriage, and that was big. We became the closest we could become, because we had to bare our souls. We did 10 years of marriage in three months," she says. "You go to hell and back with this -- when the addiction takes control of the life, it's terrifying. But there is hope, and we work on it every day, and we are in a place of actual peace right now, which is a beautiful place."

That's got to be easier than dealing with Tom Cruise's rumored fanatical devotion to Scientology. But what about new baby Sunday Rose?

"I cry even thinking of her. But they are tears of joy. Because I suppose I never thought I would get to have it," she says.

What she apparently did get to have a lot of are Botox injections. Nicole pretty and a good mom and all, but she looks like she's being shot through a wind tunnel on that cover.

Jennifer Hudson announces new foundation

Brad Pitt's parents perturbed by Angie's pics

If you haven't yet seen the W interview of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, you can count yourself lucky. Apparently Brad's parents were so upset about those photos of Angie -- especially the cover of her breast-feeding -- that it's causing some, ahem, issues.

"Brad's dad won't talk about it — that means he's upset," a source tells Star. "Brad's mom feels they're using their children as a marketing campaign tool and thinks it's unacceptable."

That cover is especially horrifying to Bill and Jane, it seems. But brother Doug is pretty happy with the result, since "he and Brad share similar photography styles." Yes, because Doug Pitt is a world-famous photographer, you see.

Happy Halloween from The Juice*!

It's one of our favorite days of the year, so frankly, we're going to be too busy going into a sugar coma to pay much attention to celebrities. But we will go back a couple years to an episode of The Jimmy Kimmel Show, which featured something so awesome we doubt it even actually happened -- Bobby Brown and Mike Tyson "singing" Monster Mash. Whoa.

Victoria Beckham in her underwear for Armani

We all know David Beckham can sell underwear, but what about wife Victoria? Well, they don't call her Posh for nothin'. Giorgio Armani has asked the fairer Beckham to also sell his line of undies, which she agreed to do in her first shoot this week.

"Victoria adored David’s underwear campaign, not least because it was quite raunchy. She always used to laugh with her girlie pals about David’s bulging packet on billboards and how proud she was," the U.K.'s Mirror quotes a source. "So she just jumped at the chance to follow suit and be involved in a similar campaign –- and it will probably be just as sexy."

This is a big deal for Posh, since she's a mom of three, which isn't the first thing you see on a lingerie model's resume.

"Victoria is very much aware there is a limited shelf life for any woman as to how long they can model, let alone model underwear," a source said of the $20 million(!) deal. "She is over the moon and extremely flattered to be the face and body of such a high-profile advertising campaign."

Somehow it's not hard to believe Vicki's happy to be plastered all over billboards and subway posters. It's like 1995 all over again!

Courtenay Semel told guard to 'Google me'

You might not know the name Courtenay Semel -- not as an actress, at least, since her only roles were as "Bratty Kid" in 1991's Hudson Hawk and 2000's Sweetie Pie, which was never released and featured luminaries like Whitestarr's Cisco Adler and The Hilton Who Shall Not Be Named. But she expected a security guard at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to know, dagnabbit.

The guard, Jaroslaw Jarczok, filed a lawsuit against the 28-year-old after she allegedy smacked him around at PURE nightclub last August when she was "quite intoxicated due to alcohol and/or chemical or other substances," TMZ says. Who would have seen that coming from Tila Tequila's girlfriend? (That's where we've heard that name before ...)

The battery went down after Jarczok put the cuffs on, drawing Semel's ire. She shouted out:

"Do you even know who I am, f---ing idiot? ... Google me, you dumb f---!"

Now, forget for a moment that she's about as famous as your local garbage collector and drink in the fact that her rich daddy is billionaire Terry Semel, former head of Warner Bros. and Google rival Yahoo!. If she wants him to help her with the unspecified damages Jarczok is seeking, she might need to Google his new phone number.

Sienna Miller sues paparazzi for harassment

While Keanu Reeves fights with a photographer over whether or not the actor purposely hit the guy with his car, Sienna Miller is suing agency Big Pictures (UK) Limited and founder Darryn Lyons for their alleged "campaign of harassment," Reuters reports. Because they take too many photos of her, you see.

Miller's lawyer David Sherborne told London's High Court Thursday that Sienna had been caused "substantial alarm, fear and enormous distress" by the "relentless pursuit" of the paparazzi. Sherborne said it had all reached a level that violated her human rights.

The court head that the 26-year-old actress waschased around while driving, walking her dogs and going to the airport, among "other forms of physical and verbal intimidation or abuse in their attempts to obtain photographs of her for commercial exploitation."

Isn't being in movies all about your image being used for commercial exploitation? Either way, a hearing will be held after January 12, the court ruled. We're really on the edge of our seats over that one.

Joss Stone wants you to vote on Election Day

If for some reason you're apathetic about going to the polling place this election season, keep in mind that Joss Stone, who isn't even an American citizen, is encouraging you to pick a candidate. The 21-year-old is teaming up with HeadCount, a nonpartisan organization devoted to registering voters, the AP reports.

"America is a large, major power and it affects everywhere, so I can't just sit down and shut up," the Brit said in an interview last week. "Just because I can't vote doesn't mean I can't say what I mean and what I feel. I just hope that people will vote. ... I'm not here to say Barack or McCain, I'm hear to say, 'Have a voice and use it.' It's so important."

The singer released a song, Governmentalist, to help spread her message: "I feel like it needs to be heard now and if I'm going to speak I feel the loudest way to speak is through music."

Stone will perform the track at HeadCount's "Get Out the Vote Party" on Monday, the eve of the election, in New York. Other performers include Robert Randolph, ?uestlove of the Roots and Stanton Moore of Galactic. Vote early and vote often!

Madonna 'contract' ruined Guy Ritchie's life

What kind of ridiculous stuff can come out about Madonna and Guy Ritchie that would provide fodder for the rumor mill? How about some alleged marriage contract Madge made the director agree to? The U.K.'s Sun says besides being instructed to never shout at his wife, he had to read Kabbalah texts and find time to sex her up. The rules, so sayeth the tabloid, included:

* Guy must work to enrich his wife's emotional and spiritual well being.

* Guy must set aside time to read Kabbalah texts with his wife.

* Guy must resolve conflicts in a constructive way.

* Guy must never shout at his wife, but instead state calmly: I understand that my actions have upset you, please work with me to resolve this.

* We both must devote time to our sexual expressiveness.

And our favorite:

* We must not use sex as a stick to beat one another.

Soureces tell the paper that Madge pinned the rules up in their New York home after they visited a marraige counselor two years ago. She would say, "Contract, Guy, contract" if he broke one of the rules, they say.

Is it true? Who knows. But the best part is the quote the Sun's unnamed source gives: "Guy felt bound up like a kipper." How folksy!

Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau will return

It's official: Robert Downey Jr. is strapping on his metal suit to join the superhero team effort The Avengers in addition to Iron Man 2, the AP reports. Geeks everywhere, rejoice!

The sequel to Iron Man is due May 7, 2010, and The Avengers is scheduled for July 15, 2011, Marvel Studios announced. The movies are part of a four-picture deal between Downey and Marvel.

Iron Man director Jon Favreau is returning to direct Iron Man 2 and serve as executive producer on The Avengers, which will team the guy in the metal suit with Marvel Comics heroes the Hulk, Captain America, Thor and others, and is sure to be a disappointment in some fashion. But you won't see us not watching.

The stars come out for another voting video

Leonardo DiCaprio is bringing out the big guns to get out the not-vote. Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Harrison Ford, Will Smith, Steven Spielberg and Justin Timberlake are among the celebrities starring in a new PSA produced by the actor, the AP reports.

As a follow-up to the 5 Friends PSA, the video shows the stars struggling to grasp the concept of using reverse psychology to get young people into voting booths (oh, that old chestnut!). Required by director Spielberg to say "don't vote," Roberts remarks, "That doesn't make sense." Cruise and Smith complain to each other, while Timberlake jokes, "I can do anything. I was in a boy band, okay?"

Finally, Ford, looking pretty darn old, says, "You know what? I can't do it. It's not true, I don't believe it -- 537 people decided the 2000 election, and you want me to tell people that one vote doesn't count?"

Ryan Reynolds, whose wife Scarlett Johansson also appears in the video, jokes "There are more Baldwin brothers than that." Also appearing: Cameron Diaz, Shia LaBeouf, Snoop Dogg, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, Zach Braff and Sacha Baron Cohen as his alter ego, Borat.

If you want to sit through the nearly 5-minute video, look above.

Angelina Jolie must be jealous of Diane Kruger

Angelina Jolie is supposedly unhappy because history might be repeating itself, with her in the role of Jennifer Aniston while another starlet steals Brad Pitt. He's getting a little old for that sort of thing, ain't he?

Star says Angie is furious over rather blatant flirtations between Pitt and Diane Kruger on the set of Inglourious Basterds, since boy, does she know how that can turn out!

"Angie loves Brad and wants to trust him, but she also knows that their own love blossomed while working on a movie together," a source tells the mag. "Now she's convinced that Diane has a crush on Brad, and she's scared something could happen."

A small cast dinner in Berlin apparently caused quite a row, too: "They went through several bottles of wine," Mimmo Bianco, manager of Italian restaurant Al Contadino Sotto le Stelle tells Star. "It was obvious he was having a great time."

Yeah, it's not like she knows a thing or two about stealing Brad on movie sets. Rumor has it Aniston was jealous of Kruger when Pitt co-starred with her in Troy while he was married to Jen. And in the best photo editing since Dewey defeats Truman, Star's cover features a promo to Aniston hiring a wedding planner for her hitchin' to John Mayer. That's really rubbing it in.

Hulk Hogan hides the Rolls-Royce from Linda

While you're eagerly anticipating Hulk Hogan's appearance on the Nov. 7 E!: True Hollywood Story, the wrestling legend is back in the ring against Linda and her 19-year-old boyfriend, Charley Hill.

It seems Linda wanted to take their disputed Rolls-Royce out for a spin, even though it's supposed to be in storage until the couple's assets were divided, TMZ says. Hulk's lawyers weren't having anything to do with that, though, and had the car moved to "an undisclosed location," the site says.

Apparently the problem is that the insurance on the mega-ride was "woefully inadequate," and Hogan feared Hill would try to drive it -- putting said car at extreme risk. And if there's one thing Hulk knows, it's that you can't trust a teenager behind the wheel of an expensive car.

Jessica Simpson's 'Major Movie Star' shines ... in Russia

To all the hate-mongers out there who want to restart the Cold War, here's food for thought: Jessica Simpson bomb Major Movie Star, in which the bouncy blond joins the army after her film career tanks (hmmm), is a box office hit! Time to take those reds down!

Fox News reports that the flick, which still has no U.S. release date, opened in the Motherland on Oct. 9 to great fanfare, despite being labeled "one of the worst films ever made" by some nebulous source in the production department. It was directed by Steve Miner and has about 15 people with producer credits, including creepy papa Joe.

Next up for this roller-coaster premiere ride? That hotbed of celluloid history, Bulgaria. There are as yet no plans to release the movie in theaters in any English-speaking country. Maybe they've found the secret to Simpson's success -- dubbing and subtitles!

Joaquin Phoenix says he's leaving movie biz

Could it be that Joaquin Phoenix is done making movies? That's what the actor told Extra. Channeling Johnny Cash must have taken a lot out of him.

"I want to take this opportunity ... also to give you the exclusive and just talk a little bit about the fact that this will be my last performance as an actor ... I'm not doing films anymore," the 34-year-old told Extra's Jerry Penacoli (we presume he's referencing his role in Two Lovers). "I'm working on my music. I'm done. I've been through that."

Casey Affleck backed up the claim, saying, "I don't think he's kidding. He's got music and stuff." We hate when "stuff" gets in the way. Furthermore, Phoenix's rep confirms the announcement, claiming "That is what he told me."

That's just awful! Who will play our masochistic Roman dictators and troubled unemployed 20-somethings now? At least it's possible he could keep up the role of self-destructive musician.

Britney Spears conservatorship is permanent

After months of waiting to see if Britney Spears would ever regain control over her own finances, court commissioner Reva Goetz has ruled that no, she won't. Reva must be sick of seeing Britney's lawyers every few weeks.

Jamie Spears now has a permanent conservatorship over his daughter, the AP reports. Brit's court-appointed attorneys says the singer doesn't object to the arrangement. Jamie, as you'll recall, took over Brit's personal and financial affairs back in February.

It's tragic that Britney is so emotionally stunted that she needs her father to take care of her in this fashion, even at the age of 26. What's even more tragic is that Jamie didn't equip his daughter to deal with her fame, so he has to do this. It's like all the kids we went to college with in one person.

Jonas Bros. starring in 'Walter the Farting Dog'

The long-awaited silver screen debut of the Jonas Brothers has been announced, but not quite in the vehicle you might be imagining. First of all, they're going to 20th Century Fox and not a Disney production. Second, it's a movie called Walter the Farting Dog. Wait, is it April 1 already?

Variety says the project is based on the book series by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray about a fat dog with a flatulence problem, as if you couldn't discern that from the title. The movie version is being adapted by Alec Sokolow and Joel Cohen for Nick, Joe and Kevin, and their younger brother Frankie.

The kicker? It's a potential project for Peter and Bobby Farrelly. This will probably be a long way from There's Something About Mary, we're thinking.

Danny Huston's model wife commits suicide

Actor Danny Huston, whom many of you will recall as Nigel from Children of Men or Marlow from 30 Days of Night, has been embroiled in a nasty divorce with his Brit model wife Katie Jane Evans. But the Daily Mail reports Evans killed herself earlier this month by jumping off the roof of her Hollywood Hills home.

"Katie couldn't get over the fact the marriage had failed She wanted a divorce but there was lots of anger and bitterness," a friend in London told the paper. "They married too soon, they barely knew each other, and Katie didn't take to life with an actor as well as she thought she would."

Evans, 35, and Huston (son of director John and half-brother of actress Anjelica) wed in 2002, but the marriage fell apart after rumors flew that she was addicted to drugs and alcohol.

"She was on anti-depressants and she had been in and out of rehab clinics for months. She was very up and down with her moods," the source said. "On the night she killed herself, she called the police to tell them she had taken an overdose but she jumped before they could save her.

"Everyone is devastated. No one, including Danny, can come to terms with what has happened. When Anjelica was told she just collapsed in tears."

David Caruso's stalker needs to be arrested

CSI: Miami's David Caruso is so bad-ass that he has to import his stalkers from Austria. But now that alleged stalker -- ID'd only as an Austrian woman in her 40s -- has a warrant out for her arrest, the AP reports.

The woman allegedly sent David more than 100 letters, pursued him for an autograph and then sent death threats when he refused. Because that's what you do when famous people ignore you. She's believed to be abroad, possibly Mexico, which is where all the stalkers go these days.

Apparently this all started when a fan letter with a Miami postmark showed up in Caruso's mail reading "I will locate you and your ugly Latine tramp and kill you." Cops didn't say if that meant actress Alana De La Garza, who played Horatio Caine's wife on the show until the character was, in fact, killed.

LL Cool J quits as Janet Jackson's opener

As if Janet Jackson didn't have enough headaches (ba-dum TISH), her seemingly cursed "Rock Witchu" has lost LL Cool J as its opening act, the AP reports. The reason? Scheduling conflicts.  As in, he didn't want to be scheduled with her anymore, we're assuming.

Jackson has canceled a series of concerts lately because of migraine-associated vertigo. And if concert attendance at the Trop this summer was any indication, we'd think at least half of those were people going to see LL. Sorry, Janet, he just doesn't want to rock witchu anymore.

"After consulting with her doctor, this was the course of treatment that was recommended,” says a statement on Hough’s web site. She's supposed to discuss the condition on Monday night's show.

"Endometriosis is the development of uterine-lining tissue outside the uterus on the surfaces of organs in the pelvis or abdomen where they are not supposed to grow," the statement explains. "It is a common medical condition found in 5-10% of women of reproductive age around the world."

She was originally take to a hospital after the Oct. 21 show with abdominal pain but had said she was "fine."

Ben Affleck: Jennifer Lopez and I were mistake

Ben Affleck may have been able to keep the "Bennifer" t-shirts alive by hooking up with Jennifer Garner, but he admits his relation with Jennifer Lopez had its issues. YOu're about five years too late on that supposition, Bennie.

"I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible," Affleck is quoted in U.K. mag Now. "I don’t think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own."

How naive of Ben; Maybe when he met J.Lo in 2002 our culture wasn't as obsessed with celebrities as it is now, so maybe he didn't know what he was getting into. Or maybe his judgment was clouded by making Gigli. We don't know, we're not sociologists. People still blamed the media for their own shortcomings though, so that hasn't changed.

Lindsay Lohan isn't gay, she just likes Ronson

Like, ZOMG you guys, when you you realize that Lindsay Lohan is, like, totally into dudes? Sheesh. She's only telling everyone who will listen that this whole Samantha Ronson thing is soooo for real special-like. At least, that's what someone told the New York Daily News.

"She has been telling everyone over and over that she’s still into guys," a source told the tabloid. "She keeps saying if anything went wrong with Sam she would date a guy next. She even flirts with guys when they go out."

Well, it is Lindsay Lohan. If she didn't flirt with guys, we'd think the impossible was happening, like the price of oil dropping to half what it was or having someone a president or vice president who wasn't a white male. And we'd like to note the Daily News calls LiLo a "fauxmosexual;" that's just brilliant.

Jerry Lewis rips on cricket on Australian TV

Jerry Lewis may have recently said he doesnt want to retire, but that doesn't keep him from sticking his feet in his mouth over and over again. The 82-year-old dinosaur repeated his homophobic faux pas from last year's telethon by repeating the same anti-gay slur in an interview on Australian TV, the AP reports.

A Network Ten reporter asked Lewis what he thought of the sport of cricket, which is a pretty big deal there, we've heard.

"Oh, cricket? It's a f-- game," Lewis oh-so-tactfully offered. "What are you, nuts?"

Network Ten aired the comment on its Friday evening news bulleting with footage of Jerry holding an imaginary cricket bat with an "effeminate gesture," as described by the AP. We're imagining Mr. Roper from Three's Company (look it up on YouTube, kids).

You'll recall Lewis said a similar word during his annual Labor Day telethon, for which he apologized. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has asked him to apologize again. This time they should demand a little blood.

"For someone so well known for helping others, Mr. Lewis shows an incredible lack of dignity and respect when he makes comments that contribute to a climate of intolerance," GLAAD president Neil G. Giuliano said.

You've got to hand it to Jerry for his chutzpah, though -- he ripped on a national sport and took his chances with packs of bloodthrsty Aussies. He may not want to comment, but if he makes it off the continent alive he should be happy.

"It's going to be extremely different. I don't know how to deal with boys," he said. "But I didn't know how to deal with girls when I had them either, so I guess it's all an education." That's true, he has proven he doesn't know how to deal with girls.

Anne Hathaway's ex gets 4.5 years in prison

To tie a bow on the sad saga of Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, the AP reports a judge sentenced the Italian businessman to 4 1/2 years in prison for bilking millions from investors. It's not that bad, really, considering he could have gotten more than 5 years.

"I dishonored my family name and embarrassed the church I love. I'll never be able to wash away that stain, and I will have to live with it the rest of my life," the 30-year-old said through an Italian interpreter before he was sentenced. "I just hope someday those who have been hurt by my actions can forgive me."

U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl said Follieri had engaged in a significant fraud that hurt investors, will financially ruin him and will cause him to be deported after his prison term. The judge wasn't too happy with Raf's "lavish personal expenditures," which included a $37,000-a-month Manhattan apartment and a movie-star lifestyle, funded with the cash he swindled.

Follieri said he started off with good intentions but "instead, I made some terrible mistakes. I always thought I could repair the wrongdoing, but I was wrong."

Part of his reparations include forfeiting $2.4 million when he pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. That's what happens when you claim to be the Vatican's chief financial offer and tell people you can get them great deals on church land. But then, who believes that kind of stuff?

David Duchovny sues paper over affair story

But while we skimmed over rumors he was having an affair with tennis instructor Edit Pakey, Duchovny sure didn't -- he's suing the Daily Mail for alleged defamation and invasion of privacy, the AP reports.

David filed a lawsuit on Wednesday seeking no less than $1 million in damages for the Daily Mail's Oct. 18 story that he had planned to leave wife Tea Leoni for the racquet jockey, with whom he was allegedly having a "full-blown sex affair." That's opposed to the affair Leoni reportedly had with Billy Bob Thornton, over which no one has yet sued.

Pakey herself claims in the suit that she and Duchovny are "just friends" and that she was never even hired to be his instructor. The pair claim the Daily Mail knew the story was false but published it anyway. And that's why we haven't been writing about David Duchovny lately, loyal readers!
