Perhaps further evidence that American Pie star career is heading in the wrong direction. 

Tara Reids is apparently going to dress up as a prostitute (that is to say wear her normal going out clothes) and judge a wet T-shirt contest at the event at Darwin’s Discovery nightclub.   The flyer for the bash says partygoers should expect “bondage beds, fantasy, latex, porn stars, erotic dancers and a R rated very raunchy event”.  Classy. If you look closely you’ll notice the promoters can’t even spell ‘American’.

Hospitality manager Guy Dunne said: “It’s a night like your ‘pimps and prostitutes’ or sleaze balls, and it’s just a night of less is best. “We thought Tara Reid would be a great choice. It’s a very naughty night and an opportunity to put your inhibitions down.” “I believe Tara Reid and her people were very enthusiastic to come here.”

Reid joins Bessie Bardot, Big Brother winners and the Fat Pizza crew as previous hosts of the night. Tara, once one of Hollywood’s most popular leading ladies recently likely lost any shot at returning to tv show Scrubs when show creator Bill Lawrence said Reid was his least favorite guest star seems to be getting all the wrong kind of publicity.  But hey a girls got to work!

Curtains up! Broadway producers reached a deal with striking stagehands late on Wednesday, ending more than two weeks of a work stoppage that has brought the curtain down across New York’s theater district.

Theater producers said that performances would resume last night, the finale of a damaging strike that began on Nov. 10 and has cost the city millions of dollars in lost revenues.

“The contract is a good compromise that serves our industry. What is most important is that Broadway’s lights will once again shine brightly,” Charlotte St. Martin, head of the League of American Theatres and Producers, said in a statement.

“The people of Broadway are looking forward to returning to work, giving the theater-going public the joy of Broadway, the greatest entertainment in the world,” said James Claffey, president of stagehands’ union Local One.

The strike had turned the lights out at some 27 Broadway theaters and left disappointed ticket holders arriving at theaters to find doors closed and picket lines set up outside.

Only one show resumed during the strike, when a judge ordered the theater showing Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas to reopen because only the theater’s landlord and not the show’s producers were involved in the dispute.

Producers complained they were forced to hire an unnecessarily large number of stagehands, often to perform minor duties, while the unions accused the theaters of trying to make cutbacks.

An earlier round of negotiations over the weekend of Nov. 17 broke down when stagehands rejected compromise proposals put forward by producers.

The two sides met again on Sunday, with talks running through the night into Monday and again on Tuesday.

It was the third stoppage on Broadway in 30 years. The last, a strike by musicians in 2003, lasted four days at an estimated cost to theater producers and other businesses of several million dollars.

This year’s strike was thought to have been especially damaging since it closed down some of Broadway’s most profitable shows over the lucrative Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Starpulse has reported that surfer due and casanova Kelly Slater supposedly has a new love - Kirsten Dunst.  The couple was supposedly spotted dining together at West Hollywood restaurant Ago on November 19. A fellow diner tells American publication Life & Style, “They were flirting a lot, smiling and giggling. They were having a fun time, and there was definite chemistry. It looked like they were getting to know each other. She was into him and she made it quite clear they wanted to be left alone. Kirsten was hanging on Kelly’s every word.”

Slater, an extreme sports icon has made a name for himself in 2007 after hooking up with celebrity exes Cameron Diaz and Bar Rafaeli. Diaz took off to Hawaii to spend time with Slater after she split from Justin Timberlake at Christmas and the surfing hunk was spotted romancing model Rafaeli in her native Israel before news of her split from Leonardo DiCaprio hit the headlines.
The problem with this report is nobody asked Kelly Slater and he claims he has not even met the actress.  He told TMZ.com today, “I have no idea what that’s about. I’ve never met her my whole life.” 

I hate when that happens!

Katie Holmes broke out a new hairdo while accompanying her husband Tom Cruise at the 59th annual Bambi Awards in Duesseldorf, Germany, Thursday.

Cruise won an award for his daring to take risks in his films, including his latest flick, Valkyrie, which centers on the failed Operation Valkyrie to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

“Tom Cruise is making an international public familiar with a story that has never before been the theme of a major Hollywood production: the German resistance against the Third Reich,” the competition jury said in a statement.

I don’t know about Tom’s daring but Katie is on the edge with this new hairdo or wig?  I give it a thumbs down.

Britney Spears entered a X-rated Hustler Store in West Hollywood shortly before 1 a.m. on November 18, to do a little shopping.  (it’s the in-thing to do for drug addicts)

Spears grabbed all the naughty underwear she could find and headed to the dressing rooms. Store employees intervened and “told her they don’t allow people to try on underwear,” a source at the scene says. “She was really upset.”

At that point, Spears threw a hissy fit, and took dropped her panties and proceeded to try on a pair of boyshorts (with “Barely Legal’ stitched across the rear end) in the middle of the store while 15 other customers looked on.

“The employees kept saying ‘Don’t change out here!’ She’s just like, ‘Well, I couldn’t take them in the fitting room!’ It was like dealing with a child.”

Spears’ tantrum only continued. “The staff told her she had to pay, and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card”. As payback, “on her way out, she went up to a mannequin, snatched the wig off the head, and stole it!”  I guess she fixed them!

According to Star magazine the explanation for this is that the messed up person Britney has become is apparently obsessed with lingerie and adult toys. Her mansion, one source claims, contains a secret double-locked X-rated “den of sin” completed with a mirrored ceiling, spanking paddles, whips, handcuffs and a closet full of “kinky outfits”. “Britney is sexually obsessed. The ‘Fantasy Room’ is loaded with ticklers, whips, fur-trimmed handcuffs and much, much more”. She wears Catholic schoolgirl uniforms, a maid’s uniform and a Cinderella outfit”.  

I know there are a lot of Britney fans that hate to read this stuff but it is just a matter of time before she ends up in rehab or jail.  I am hoping for rehab before she does some serious harm.

Actor Andy Garcia paid tribute to his niece’s slain boyfriend, NFL star Sean Taylor, as a ”free safety until the end” who showed bravery in the last moments of his life to protect his family.

The actor’s niece, Jackie Garcia, was with her football star boyfriend Monday night when they heard loud noises and reportedly hid under the sheets with the couple’s 18-month old baby when Taylor confronted his killer. The Garcia family have previously not spoken to the media but Andy broke their silence and spoke highly of Taylor.

”His heroic action on that tragic night saved their life and is a testament to his humanity and courage,” Garcia said in his statement, which was provided to The Miami Herald through his manager, Joanne Colonna. “His spirit will live forever, in our hearts and through the legacy of his achievements and the family he leaves behind.”

Garcia and Taylor met at Gulliver Prep School, an exclusive school in Miami-Dade county where Taylor shone on the field as a young man, leading the school to a state championship. Garcia was a successful soccer player.

The couple attended the University of Miami together and had their first child last year, also named Jackie.

”Sean was known to many as an extraordinary athlete and unquestionable teammate,” Garcia said. “To those of us who had the good fortune to count him as a member of our extended family, we will always remember him as a caring and loving individual especially to his new family, his precious daughter Jackie and to the love of his life and mother to his child my niece Jacqueline.”

As of now the Miami-Dade police director said Wednesday that authorities have “no reason to think this was anything other than a burglary or a robbery.” They have no suspects in the shooting.   I find it a little hard to believe it was simpy a robbery given the supposed evidence that the intruder broke the bedroom door down and immediately started shooting.  Sounds a little more like some kind of vendetta to me?
