Rihanna at East Side Ink in New York (6/1)

Rihanna is in hot water with the New York City Health Department. She stopped by East Side Ink tattoo parlor on Monday and tattooed three of the artists with an umbrella and the letter R. The only problem is you need a license to do that. DUN DUN DUN!!!!! From TMZ:

[The Health Department says] Rihanna could be slapped with three misdemeanors for the offense, each with its own hefty penalty — as much as $300 for the first offense, $500 for the second and $1,000 for the third. Sources say the tattoo shop could also face considerable fines of its own if the NYC Law Dept. decides to open an investigation.

Just a thought here TMZ but in future stories about Rihanna, can you not use the word “slapped”? Domestic violence shouldn’t be a source of humor. It’s not bum fighting:

The NYC Health Department just told TMZ: “Only licensed tattoo artists can administer tattoos in the city according to the City’s Health Code. We are sending someone down to follow up on this.”

Well apparently hanging out with Chris Brown again hasn’t been the positive influence everyone thought it would be. Hopefully she’ll able to work through this whole misunderstanding and put her best face forward … I mean NOT this one.

Joe Jackson (with Jesse Jackson) outside his house in Encino (6/26)

Cut out of his son Michael’s will earlier this week, Joe Jackson is doing exactly the dignified thing you’d expect: he’s going down swinging. From the Chicago Sun Times:

It’s hard to believe, but a source close to Joe Jackson — who is working with him on several new business projects — says the outspoken patriarch of the Jackson clan may find himself further alienating his estranged wife, Katherine Jackson, and a number of his children.

The reason? Joe Jackson reportedly made several comments Tuesday — after learning details about Michael Jackson’s will — that he might consider challenging the document that reportedly doesn’t mention him at all. Though it’s well-known that Joe Jackson had had a difficult and often strained relationship with his son, my source tells me he was “still pretty pissed that there was no mention of him in the will whatsoever.”

Dude, I really think this guy is Satan. Look at that picture of him above — taken mere hours after his son’s death. He looks like he’s at a fucking carnival. I’ve seen kids at Disneyland holding cotton candy in one hand and a balloon in the other who looked less happy than that.

Lindsay Lohan got paid

In “things that might have made sense five years ago when she was actually popular and not a coked-out shell of her former self” news, Lindsay Lohan pocketed a cool $70k from the MGM Grand for hosting a pre-birthday pool party Saturday. Combined with the other money she’s made from movies and endorsements, the appearance fee raised Lindsay’s income to exactly $70k this year. From the New York Post:

At the event, which served as a promotion for her Sevyn Nine self-tanning mist, Lohan changed bathing suits five times before throwing on club gear and dancing to Michael Jackson songs for the rest of the night.

But friends of Lohan say the event was less of a celebration and more of an urgent attempt to pull in some cash. “None of her really close friends were there,” said our insider, who noted that ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson was also missing from the festivities. “The only person who was even known was Brittny Gastineau.”

$70k sounds like quite the deal. I mean, just look at her above. What grace. What elegance. She reminds me a lot of Princess Diana … I mean the 2009 version, not that 1996 version that was living. My god. She is a fucking mess. Bitch looks like she just stepped off the set of Thriller.

Stephanie Pratt bikini pics! (Miami - 6/30)

Does anyone else find it a little disturbing that Spencer Pratt married someone who looks exactly like his sister Stephanie (in Miami yesterday)? The 1944 version of Hitler thinks this is a little creepy.

Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf at the German premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at the Potsdamer Platz Square in Berlin (6/14)

Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf have been spending a lot of time together lately while promoting the newest Transformers film, so it comes as no surprise that he probably weaseled his way into her bed. From the New York Daily News:

Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox are certainly fanning the gossip fires when it comes to reports they’re an item. The “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” co-stars (whose movie killed the competition with a $201 million five-day opening) sat side by side during a dinner with 10 pals — including director Oliver Stone — at Nobu on Thursday.

“They definitely seemed into each other,” says a witness, who told us that when Fox left at 10 p.m., LaBeouf followed hot on her heels. Another spy added that, while partying at a Rose’s bash in West Hollywood earlier in the week, “Shia couldn’t keep his eyes off of Megan: He literally watched her like a hawk all night.”

Watched her like a hawk? I’ve actually had a judge use that same exact phrase right before he handed down my sentence. Yet the Daily News somehow makes it seem cute and innocent. Dammit, I wish they had been writing about my “situation” last year instead of the rookies that work at my local paper. I bet those veterans would have never used such a loaded term as “Panty Bandit.”

Johnny Depp is lovely enough on his own. Give me Johnny just sitting there, being pretty and sexy, and I’m a happy girl. But give me Johnny Depp gossiping in French, and I need to cross my legs. So imagine Johnny’s Public Enemies co-stars’ problem - especially for Marion Cotillard, who actually understood what and who Johnny was gossiping about.

Johnny admitted in a recent interview that he and Marion would speak French together on the set of Public Enemies. Johnny became fluent when he fell in love with a lovely French girl (Vanessa Paradis) and ran off with her to the French countryside to have babies and be wonderful. According to Cotillard, Johnny’s French is “excellent” but his constant French gossip became an issue because of Cotillard’s difficult accent work for the film - Johnny was breaking her concentration. She basically had to beg Johnny to stop whispering French nothings into her ear. God, now I have to cross my legs again.

Johnny Depp gossiped about his ‘Public Enemies’ co-stars in French.

The 46-year-old actor has revealed he and French beauty Marion Cotillard would speak to each other in the European language so cast and crew members would not know what they were talking about.

He said: “We would sometimes speak French to each other on the set, especially when we didn’t want anyone else to know what we were saying!”

However, the 33-year-old actress quickly grew tired of speaking in her native language because she felt it was affecting her acting.

She said: “Johnny’s French is excellent. But I could not let myself lapse into speaking a lot of pure French with Johnny. I was working so hard to really perfect the accent of my character Billie Frechette, and that was not easy. She was of mixed heritage - both French and Native American - and supposedly had an accent that was quite different.”

Johnny - who lives in the South of France with his long-term partner Vanessa Paradis and their two children, 10-year-old Lily-Rose and Jack, seven - praised his co-star for her acting skills and can understand why his character was attracted to Billie.

He said: “Marion really worked hard on that accent, and I think the way she speaks in the film adds so much to the personality of the character she plays. You can see why Dillinger fell in love with her so easily.”

Although Johnny and Marion were happy to gossip off-screen, their co-star Christian Bale admits he was more reclusive.

He said: “I wish to not talk unless we’re doing the scene. I enjoy it that way. Johnny seemed happy to do it that way, too. So the answer is, no, we really didn’t get to know each other better between each take. So I guess I’ll have to wait and get to know Johnny Depp someday.”

[From My Park Mag]

I’m utterly ambivalent about Marion and Christian Bale, but I’ll see Public Enemies for Johnny. I’m kind of surprised with how much of the film’s promotional duties Johnny has taken on - it’s so unlike him. Is this an even better version of Johnny Depp, the man we already loved? The new Johnny Depp gossips in French and takes Vanity Fair reporters on rum-soaked yacht trips. Sigh. How is it that Johnny just keeps getting better and better?
