Girls Gone Wild douchebag Joe Francis “punched and kicked” Playboy’s 2008 Playmate of the Year Jayde Nicole in an assault at an L.A. nightclub last night. TMZ says
According to [Jayde's boyfriend Brody] Jenner, he and Jayde were at the club celebrating his birthday, when Jayde saw Francis hitting on an ex-girlfriend of his (Francis’), Jenner says “unrelentingly.” Jayde felt he was harassing the woman — whom Jayde and Brody know — and she threw a drink on Francis.
Jenner says Francis then pulled Jayde’s hair, punched her in the face and threw her to the ground and began kicking her. Security broke it up and Francis got dragged away — Brody followed.
Jenner then saw Joe, punched him in the face, and then someone tased him and he fell to the ground. Francis left the scene.
Jayde [says] she will press charges against Francis. Jayde has a black and blue cheek, her face is swollen, she has a bruised left rib and her lower abdomen is sore. Some of her hair also got pulled out.
Wow. Just… wow. Give me a moment to collect my thoughts here. I might need to pace around with my fingers interlocked behind my head. I mean, are we talking about Joe Francis here? The same Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild? Because that Joe Francis is always such a class act. Really, he’s never shown any indication that he has anything other than the utmost respect and admiration for women. This is all just coming straight out of left field.
Fresh off an appearance on Royal Pains, gorgeous Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker is returning to TV with a guest role on Ugly Betty this fall.
The wife of Andy Rodick will appear as Betty’s co-worker Lexie. Decker, 22, sort of confirmed her appearance with this post on her Twitter this week:
“Working on an amazing set!! Can’t tell you guys what it is… Just yet,” she Tweeted. “But I can tell you I’m loving it and can’t wait to spill the beans!”
The beans have been spilled. Sorry, B-Deck.
She also appeared on one episode of Chuck last season. Here’s hoping for lots more appearances on TV. Or at least more SI Brooklyn Decker pictures.
Brooklyn Decker is coming to ABC’s Ugly Betty this fall.
Heather Mills may be a renowned digger of gold and an all-around painful individual, but she didn’t make terrible points about embattled football star Michael Vick at the Celebrity Catwalk event benefiting National Animal Rescue last night.
At the charity fundraiser in Hollywood, in which the animal lover was honored, she and other stars were asked about Vick and his return to the NFL.
While some stars slammed Vick, Heather Mills was more introspective.
“Everybody deserves a second chance,” she told Radar Online. “It’s about getting him to turn around a younger generation. In a way, it’s the most horrific thing, but if it hadn’t have happened there wouldn’t be the awareness there is.”
Heather Mills looking as glorious as always.
And, while R&B star Mya said “shame on you,” to Vick, she also implied that his prison term may have been too severe: “People have done cruel things to other people and have not gotten as much punishment,” she said in an interview.
Other stars were more blunt in their disgust for Vick. Girls Next Door star Bridget Marquardt said that she wouldn’t give Michael the time of day.
Hills moron Stephanie Pratt didn’t hold back: “I hate him. I think he’s vile and disgusting.” A great line coming from a sibling of Spencer Pratt.
Shannon Elizabeth said Vick “got a free pass” (two years in federal prison apparently qualify) and “better start becoming an animal advocate.”
By dating Frederic Thiebaud, Shania Twain has raised eyebrows.
He’s the ex-husband, after all, of her friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud – who had been having an affair with Shania’s husband, Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange. That’s drama.
Well, eight months after she began dating the husband of the other woman, it is being reported that Shania Twain and Frederic Thiebaud are getting married!
The couple showed off matching “promise rings” – hers silver with diamonds, his just silver – at Shania’s secluded cottage on the Lake of Bays in Ontario.
They “can’t wait” to make it official.
Shania Twain’s husband, Mutt Lange, cheated on her with this dude’s wife. Now she’s getting the best revenge by getting engaged to Frederic Thiebaud! Supposedly.
A Star Magazine insider (there’s a contradiction in terms) says Shania and Frederic have been discussing wedding plans and hope to tie the knot next year.
“[Frederic Thiebaud] is the only person that Shania trusts outside of her family,” says another insider. “She feels so lucky to have found him.”
This story is probably complete crap, but Mutt Lange is still an idiot.
On an unrelated note, Shania turns 44 today. Happy birthday, girl!
Hey, did you hear that Kourtney Kardashian was pregnant?!?
It’s true. She had unprotected sex with shady boyfriend Scott Disick, forgot to take her birth control pill and is now spilling every mind-numbing detail of her expecting state.
While Kourtney has (miraculously) not spoken out about the impending child today, she was spotted walking down the street, her baby bump in full effect.
Due to deliver in December, Kardashian can be seen every week on the painfully scripted reality series Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. We’d rather listen to Kourtney talk about her pregnancy than watch that nonsense.
Lindsay Lohan wants a change of address.
No, really, she’s moving. Apparently her current house being broken into twice and constantly surrounded by paparazzi lessened the appeal a bit.
At the same time, Samantha Ronson happens to be moving, sick of constant celebrity gossip photographer presence outside her L.A. residence.
Could they be moving to a new place together?
Not likely. But they both are after more privacy and security. Lohan has movers coming today to transport all her stuff from her rented Hollywood Hills home to a more secure high-rise, which she planned even before her recent burglary.
Early on August 23, Lindsay Lohan came home to find a door off its hinges and a safe ripped out of the wall. The police are still trying to identify three suspects who were caught on tape by surveillance cameras ransacking the property.
Both halves of this troubled, quasi-lesbian couple are seeking new pads.
“I’m sorry i haven’t been on in a bit,” she Twittered on Wednesday. “My life has been kind of in shambles considering my house was broken into. i feel violated.”
She’s been violated quite a lot in recent years.
As for Samantha Ronson, she hasn’t been robbed, but having to face a bunch of flashbulbs whenever she walks outside hasn’t been particularly fun for her.
So she’s moving out of her rented Hollywood Hills abode, which currently has a “for lease” sign hanging out front, and is headed for … an L.A. high-rise!
