CIAO, BELLO!

Just as they arrived, Brad Pitt and son Pax were spotted in a water taxi in Venice today, likely heading out of town and back to France.

Brad and George Clooney star in Burn After Reading which had its premiere earlier this week out of the competition at the Venice Film Festival.

Variety panned the “sophomoric snarky” movie saying it “feels misjudged from the opening scene and thereafter only occasionally hits the right note.”

MACKENZIE’S DRUG LOOT EXPOSED

New photos from the Mackenzie Phillips arrest have just surfaced, including baggies of drugs, 34 syringes, her mugshot and her driver’s license.

When the One Day at a Time actress reportedly went through the metal detector at the Los Angeles airport, “the alarm went off because of a metal object.”

Drugs were not initially suspected by the TSA, but when employees began to pat her down, she became increasingly uncooperative.

But it was when she was asked to sit down that the balloons and baggies fell from her waistband through her pant leg and onto the floor.

PAM HITS THE WAVES

Taking a break from promoting her new show Down Under, Pamela Anderson takes her two sons, 12-year-old Brandon and 10-year-old Dylan, for a surfing lesson on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia on Thursday.

While she’s often associated with the iconic red swimsuit she wore on hit TV show Baywatch, the blonde beauty kept things covered up in a hoodie and white skirt during the typically chilly afternoon.

In Sydney to promote her new reality series, Pam: Girl On The Loose, the mother-of-two told photogs that she chose to do the new series to help draw attention to her causes. The show, which has already debuted Stateside, follows the 41-year-old as she goes about her everyday life.

To no one’s surprise, Lauren’s “good friend” Audrina was not in attendance. Much to the delight of MTV producers, we’re sure….

REALLY IN LOVE BUT STILL NOT MARRIED

Chad Michael Murray and Kenzie Dalton were seen arriving at LAX International airport in Los Angeles yesterday.

Chad’s and his Kate Bosworth lookalike fiancée made sure to have her makeup in place before posing for the camera.

The One Tree Hill hunk recently revealed that he has learned that happiness is someone who makes you laugh – and he wants to pass his message on to all the single women out there.

“To all the girls out there who think being funny is not sexy, you are wrong!” the actor says.

Describing his 26-year-old lady love, Chad says, “It’s not that she’s just pretty, she’s my buddy. I never have actually had a girl who’s made me laugh before.”

As for whether he’s set a date for their nuptials? “”I would like to be married someday,” he teases. “No, I’m really looking forward to it. I have a really, really great girl in my life right now.”

BEN GOES TO THE BANK

All sorts of stars are popping up in Denver.

While ex Jennifer Lopez attended a Capitol File Magazine/Viacom luncheon honouring Marian Wright Edelman, Ben Affleck was all smiles across town during a box packing competition at the America’s Second Harvest Send Hunger Packing.

Ben and a team of semi-celebs, including Alicia Witt, Justin Bartha and Ben Younger, took on a team of congressmen and senators, including Worcester Rep. Jim McGovern and Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, to see who could pack the most family boxes of food.

The celebs won.

When he was asked at the food bank event about his support for Barack Obama, Ben wisely declined to take the bait.

“I appreciate that this is a political convention,” he said. “But I’d like to keep the discussion focused on these guys and what they’re doing.”

HILARY DUFF’S DAD SENT TO THE SLAMMER

Michael Lohan isn’t the only celebrity father plaguing his daughter’s career and personal life.

The father of Hilary Duff has been ordered to spend 10 days in jail for contempt of court.

Bob Duff was led away in handcuffs today during a court hearing after Judge Thomas Stansbury in Houston determined he violated an injunction against selling assets without court approval.

The Houston Chronicle reported that Bob must pay into a court repository $367 537 he earned from selling stocks last month.

Furthermore, the judge determined that Mr. Duff should pay his estranged wife Susan Duff $12 500 for Hilary’s birthday party, which was the subject of the hearing. Her mother wanted $25 000 to pay for a present and party.

His attorney Robert Piro says his client would post bond and file an appeal.

Bob and Susan are currently in the midst of a bitter divorce.

PLANET JACKSON

A frail-looking Michael Jackson crept out of his hyperbaric oxygen chamber last night to enjoy a late night visit to Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

With just one day to go until he’s set to ring in his 50th birthday, the pyjama-wearing pop star kicked off the festivities early by surprising fans with a surprise appearance.

Meanwhile, rumour has it that the Gloved One may make an appearance at the MTV’s Video Music Awards on September 7. “Sources close to the awards tell us MTV honchos have been working OT to get Jacko to reappear at the awards,” an insider says. “We’re told a deal is as good as sealed to have MJ present an award with sister Janet.”

OBAMA MAKES A SURPRISE VISIT

Barack Obama makes a surprise appearance at the Democratic National Convention today after he and running mate Joe Biden officially won the nominations for their Party’s presidential ticket.

Earlier, former President Bill Clinton ripped into the GOP and hailed Obama’s “historic chance.”

As day three of the convention wrapped up, it was announced that there was a “surprise special guest.” Senator Obama then took the stage to frenzied cheering and applause.

While his celebritydom is in question, there’s no doubt that Obama is a total Barack star!

LINDSAY CALLS OUT HER FATHER VIA BLOG

It’s back to work for Lindsay Lohan!

After spending much of the last month wandering around L.A. with gal pal Samantha Ronson, the young starlet returned to the New York set of Ugly Betty today. During filming at a high school in Queens, LiLo was seen changed from her hip outfit to a sexy cheerleading uniform.

While she was professional on the set, she’s currently facing strife in her personal life — especially when it comes to her dad, Michael Lohan After recently talking to the press (yet again!) about her alleged drug and alcohol problems, Lindsay had lashed out at her estranged father via a blog post.

DRUG FREE
Current mood: betrayed

If you have something to say to me, say it to my face- that’s what i have believed my whole life- don’t be a coward and say it to others first, let alone all the media in the world- i think we know where the rest of this blog is going…

If you guessed it had to do with my father- then you guessed right! It really hurts, because i have tried- after all that my mother and siblings have gone through, i really tried to make things work- For the hope of having a father again-wanting things to change- even though people have said, some people will forever remain the same.

Having said that- the people were right, and he is yet to change- but this time, without his daughter by his side- He has become a public embaressment and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its obvious who that is).

He has no idea what is going on in my life because i have chosen not to involve him in it- His recent attack on my life and my loved ones is simply for an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME. Why he feels the need to comment on anything in my life that i may want to keep private, is beyond comprehension- If he really cared about me and my life, then he would learn to respect my wishes by staying out of it.

Samantha has not and would never sell me out. Nor has my mother, who is wonderful.

This further proves that any information that my father has about me or the people in my life is internet based- and about as accurate as a page six item.

I’m not going to engage any further, though i probably could go on…

I have said enough, i have a therapist, and it is not the the camera man at x17.
