Anna Nicole: "It Does Not Look Good"

This just in from Memorial Regional Hospital, where Anna Nicole was taken after collapsing at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood: "It does not look good."

Forging Into 2007

Over at the Forge, the Hogan family ate and drank together like a family should---going strong later in Glass around 2 am where Heat players Dwyane Wade and Antoine Walker were partying along with LaBron James.

Lindsay Blow-han

Remember when Lindsay Lohan was rushed to Miami Beach's Mt. Sinai hospital because of alleged exhaustion or asthma or whatever? We didn't buy it. Now, either do the people who are making her next flick. Read the letter threatening Lohan with legal action if she doesn't clean up her hard partying ways.

Lara Flynn's Spoiled

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but poor Lara Flynn Boyle has come down with a nasty case of Strep throat, and will not be hosting her lovely ladies who lunch dinner at the St. Regis tonight. That din din will be rescheduled, we're told.

Colin-oscopy.

Can anyone out there tell us if it's true that Kate Moss was seen talking to Colin Farrell at the Raleigh Hotel over the weekend? Some Brit-rag reports that Farrell was taking a two day respite from his rehab--at the Raleigh of all places. We don't buy it for a minute, but, if anyone has proof of this, please do let us know.

Pete's Moss at Delano

Wait a minute, is Kate Moss still with that crackhead Pete Doherty? Anyway, she's not with him here, where she checked into the Delano yesterday along with her mum and child. Kate's in town for a photo shoot---for what, we wonder? The new "This is your brain on drugs" campaign? Anyway, the paparazzi are out stalking her in front, on the side, and behind the hotel. Make like Where's Waldo and see if you can spot the stick figure, too.

Brown delivers

Sugo at the Sanctuary was on fire Friday night---literally--as Bobby Brown and two bodyguards showed up for dinner. Brown couldn't get enough of his smokes--cigarettes, that is--and was seen going outside every few minutes to light up. To his credit, he was polite enough to ask if he could smoke inside, which he couldn't. It was not his prerogative and clearly, either was wife Whitney, who was conspicuously or not so conspicously absent. When asked where Whitney was, a cursory, "In Connecticut with the kids," was offered while Brown's goon was busy trying to make a hot blonde an offer she couldn't refuse if she'd only git wit Bobby. We've heard so much about how bad Whitney is these days, but if you'd have been there last night, you could possibly understand what has driven her to be that way. Brown's eyes were a crimson red, he was bloated and barely able to keep his jaw from knocking. It was a sad, sad sight, but if Being Bobby Brown isn't enough, we'd like to suggest that a producer offer him the role of Mush Mouth in the sequel to the Fat Albert flick.
