Robin Williams to open Letterman's show

Robin Williams to open Letterman's show
AP - Robin Williams will be David Letterman's first guest upon the return of his "Late Show" on CBS Wednesday. The appearance of a Hollywood A-lister who can talk a mile a minute may be Letterman's way of quickly trying to draw a distinction between his show and his late-night rivals, who are without writers and may also have trouble booking major entertainers as guests.

General Contractor Files Suit against Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

Lawsuit claims Superstar, Wife ‘seek revenge’ after arbitration
involving ‘bizarre behavior by Hanks’ wife’.

KETCHUM, Ida. (December 21, 2007) – Storey Construction Inc. of Ketchum, Idaho, today filed suit against Hollywood superstars Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson claiming that the couple’s latest demand for arbitration is a malicious act motivated by revenge.

According to the lawsuit filed in Idaho’s Blaine County District Court, the superstar couple hired Storey Construction – a well-regarded local builder – to construct a luxury residence for them in the Sun Valley, Ida. area, home to a number of celebrities and movie stars.

During construction, the suit alleges that Wilson directed Storey Construction to “complete extra, additional work and changed work” during the 24-month project which began in 2000.

In July 2002, Storey finished the construction and Hanks and Wilson moved in shortly thereafter but did not pay Storey for the balance of the work, court documents state.

The complaint goes on to state that after Storey placed a lien on the property in 2003, the construction company took Hanks and Wilson to mandatory arbitration, where Hanks and Wilson counter-claimed the work was defective and demanded $800,000 in damages.

At that hearing, the court documents state that Rita Wilson exhibited “bizarre conduct” and after 10 minutes of cross-examination, Wilson “leapt from the witness stand and began screaming hysterically.”

The court documents go on to say that Wilson “stormed out of the hearing room” and refused to return that day.

The complaint states that after weighing the evidence, on January 27, 2004 the arbitration panel’s decision stated “Respondents’ [Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and Lily Reeves] counterclaims are denied and are hereby dismissed with prejudice in their entirety. Respondents are awarded $0 on their counterclaims.”

According to court records, the panel awarded Storey “close to 100 percent of the total amount sought in the arbitration.”

Then, according to court documents, on Nov. 14, 2007, nearly three years after the arbitration panel ruled that Hanks and Wilson were not entitled to damages on their claim of defective construction, Hanks and Wilson demanded a new arbitration, this time claiming $2.5 million “in damages caused by alleged construction/design errors.”

Storey contends that Hanks’ and Wilson’s demand for arbitration is born out of the couple’s quest for “revenge for, among other reasons, Storey’s recovery of virtually 100 percent of [its] claim.” The suit also says that Hanks and Wilson blame Storey for “Rita Wilson’s bizarre conduct…”

The case was filed in Idaho district court in Blaine on December 21 and asks for a jury trial on the allegations that Hanks, Wilson and their representative “committed the tort of abuse of process against Storey.”

The complaint asks the court to award Storey damages, and to stay the defendants’ demand for arbitration.

Storey is a successful contractor in the Sun Valley area of Idaho, specializing in construction of luxury homes. The company, its owner Gary Storey, and his family have been heavily involved in the Sun Valley community and civic activities for more than 20 years.

Mischa Barton made her first "public" appearance on Sunday since her arrest this past week for drunk driving and illegal drug possession.

The washed-up actress called up her favorite paparazzi and staged an exclusive photo shoot for them.

Here's how it all went down.

A remorseful Mushy took her two dogs, Ziggy and Charlie, to a Beverly Hills park.

She was seen looking all sad and shit. At one point, Mischa sat on the grass and seemed to be crying.

Some of the best acting she's done in ages!

Rosie O'Donnell is bothered by the fact that according to a new poll, almost 50% of Americans named her the most annoying person of 2007 - followed by Paris Hilton, coming in a distant second.

The former talk show host is so upset about her dubious distinction, that she's made this video about being dubbed most annoying.

Here's an excerpt of what she says:

"I apparently am the most annoying celebrity, according to Parade magazine. And, frankly, most celebrities are annoying. So, I agree. Celebrities are annoying and the fact that I am one is annoying. And I suppose I am the most annoying. But whatever. Why? Cuz I'm loud. Some people don't like me. Barbra Streisand likes me!"

Uhmmm, Barbra Streisand is annoying! It might help to name someone that likes you who is not annoying.

Hova is in trouble!

Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that Jay-Z's new 40/40 club in Las Vegas did not pass their inspection.

What does that mean?

The venue won't open as previously planned, throwing a major curveball to the rapper and entrepreneur.

"Unless Jay-Z and his team miraculously come up with certain licenses and certificates by Sunday, then they won't be able to go on with their New Year's Eve party plans," a source familiar with the situation tells us.

Not only that, Jigga and his team have to refund all tickets for the opening, which will add even more costs to their starting on the wrong foot Sin City venture.

We're not sure why, but blame Beyonce, we say!

Someone stole a bunch of Victoria Beckham’s clothes and accessories from her backstage dressing room in Germany.

Some of the stuff taken includes:

- two pairs of $10,000 shoes
- a jacket
- jewelery
- stage outfits
- an embroidered one-of-a-kind red satin dressing robe designed for her by Roberto Cavalli

According to a source:

“Victoria’s post-show high was ruined when she noticed stuff had been nicked. All the other girls’ dressing rooms were untouched, but somebody had clearly been rifling through Victoria’s possessions. She was very upset. Fashion means everything to her. She keeps all her old outfits in storage.”

Earlier in the week, Posh Spice was pissed when she saw a backup dancer mocking her:

“She walked in on a dancer doing an impression of her, just standing at the mike, breathing heavily and pouting.”

True to their word, America's first family spent the Christmas holiday in New Orleans.

On Wednesday, Brangelina and the kids (minus Shiloh) headed out to the movies to watch The Waterhorse.

Shiloh is probably too young for the film (about a lonely boy that discovers a mysterious egg that hatches a sea creature of Scottish legend).

The Jolie-Pitts were accompanied to the movies by not one, but two bodyguards.

After leaving the theater, the family went to McDonald's drive thru and then decided to call it a day and went home.

You see, Brad and Angelina are just like us!

We've been trying to steer clear of Adrianne Curry, but she's dogging Tyra again and calling Top Model a fraud. So it's kinda juicy.

The first season winner of Top Model just wrote the following on her blog:

"December 26, 2007 - Wednesday

Is Top Model a Scam? Reflecting on the New year

Is Top Model a Scam?
That's what everyone has been asking me lately because of the last season. I didn't watch it, but I came across the finale and watched it the other week. I guess the winner of the show not only has modeled before (Wendy's commercials, Tyra Banks Show runway model) but that she also had a personal relationship with Tyra from being in her T-zone camp. According to my contract with Top Model, all of these things would keep you from even coming on the show, let alone win it.

I agree with the majority in saying that this is not fair. When I did watch the show, I didn't think that they chose the girl who could actually model…but then I remembered that they are 9 seasons into this show and have yet to be successful in making a real "Top Model". I would have picked the other girl based only on that I think she would work more. It's Tyra's show, and she can obviously do whatever she wants.

I love to compete. If I had been one of the other contestants, I would be crying foul everywhere I went. I am really surprised at how unfair that season seems. So I guess now real models are going to be allowed on the show? That should make things interesting.

I think that if all these rumors of the winner being tied in the industry and having a prior relationship with Tyra is true, that the title should be given to the runner up. I know Tyra is an honest person. I have been assured by many that Tyra isn't unfair. Seeing how she isn't, I know she will do the right thing in this situation. Heck, maybe after she is done righting this wrong, she could hint at the agency she placed me in to PAY me for the work I did and won through her show? Been trying to get that check since 2003. ; )"
