Two weekends ago, the News of the World published a scandalous story about Brad and Angelina “consulting a divorce lawyer” to split up their assets and work on a custody agreement ahead of their big breakup. This story jumped internationally very quickly, and many, many, many people freaked out, both the Brangelina lovers and haters. It was a weird situation, because the report didn’t seem to have any more merit than all of the random Star Magazine and In Touch Weekly stories that have Brad and Angelina breaking up every single week. Still, it touched off a big media war, one that Brad and Angelina are still doing some damage control on. And now it’s not just some friendly photo-ops to let everyone know they’re fine - it was just announced that Brad and Angelina are suing! This is seriously the first time they’ve ever sued, so it’s a big deal:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are suing a London tabloid for claiming that they were planning to split.

The couple’s lawyer Keith Schillings tells BBC News that Pitt, 46, and Jolie, 34, have begun legal proceedings against the News of The World tabloid, which reported Jan. 24 that the two had agreed to divide their assets and made arrangements for the custody of their six children, Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 3, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 18 months.

Schillings tells the BBC that the tabloid report contained “false and intrusive allegations” and that the paper failed to meet a demand for a retraction and apology for the article which was “widely republished by mainstream news outlets.”

Schillings says Sorrell Trope, a Los Angeles divorce lawyer identified by some publications as advising the two, denied claims that he had been in contact with the couple. “I have had no contact from… Angelina Jolie and / or Brad Pitt,” Trope said in a statement. “I have never met… your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The foregoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm.”

A spokesperson for the News Of The World has yet to comment.

Pitt and Jolie, who are not married, packed on the PDA Sunday during an appearance at the Super Bowl in Miami. They took their eldest son, Maddox, to the big game.

I’m going to put all of my cards on the table: I like Brad and Angelina, together and separately. I think they’re good people, I think they put up with a lot of crap from the media, and I think they’re generally pretty smart about how they handle their public personas. All that being said, one of their dumbest moves as a couple was to have no publicist together or separately, and to have no media consultant or anyone like that. They should have had someone on their staff dealing with the media fulltime ever since 2006, when Brad let go of his long-time publicist. Having someone on permanent standby would have helped a lot throughout the trials and tribulations the tabloids seem to have Brangelina going through every week. And now that they’re taken on lawyers and are actually suing one publication for one story, it just strikes me as too little too late. Why this story and not the others? I don’t get it.

Oh, and why not sue Ian Halperin while they’re at it? That guy needs to be taken down.

Um… Jesus. Lindsay Lohan, once again acting as her own cracked-out publicist (never a good idea), decided to go on her Twitter and deny that she’s getting lip injections. Uh… seriously? Because we have eyes. And most of us aren’t on crack. We can see that your lips are twice as big all of a sudden. Lindsay tweeted her self-perpetuating drama: “Why are all of my friends asking me if I have a cut on my lip? Lol coz I don’t.” Then she put up this Twitpic (below) and wrote: “see! my lips are just as they’ve always been lol-it’s nuts that i feel the need to give proof! what is this world coming to!!** lol it was @jennidawnsays fault!”

Kiss off!

Lindsay Lohan is denying she got lip injections.

After blogs pointed to a cut on her lip and speculated that she’d had a filler injected to puff out her pucker, the actress, 23, posted a photo of herself on Twitter, and wrote, “See! my lips are just as they’ve always been lol-it’s nuts that i feel the need to give proof! what is this world coming to!!”

She also denied having an injection scar, despite a small mark visible in the TwitPic.

“Why are all of my friends asking me if I have a cut on my lip? Lol coz I don’t,” she wrote.

Lohan recently showed off her clutter-filled apartment, stuffed with hundreds of pairs of shoes.

“I just need to get rid of… stuff,” she admitted to The Insider. “That’s personal stuff that I have to work on.”

Now, some will put out the theory that Lindsay is not getting lip injections, that her puffy lips come from, say, her drug use. Like, her lips swell up when she rubs cocaine on them. Could be. But even if that’s the case, I still think she’s getting injections. There’s just too much variation in the size of her lips from day to day. Here are some photos of the variations over the past year, and one of Lindsay from 2004:

Under pretty much any circumstance, I find Sarah Silverman to be supremely annoying. I don’t find her funny, I think her “I’m so dirty and naughty and I’m just a girl isn‘t it avant-garde?” act is tired and condescending. All of that being said, the interview excerpts from Sarah’s cover interview for Page Six Magazine made me a little sad. She tells the magazine that her current boyfriend is “the first guy in a decade who’s given me any kind of compliment, like saying I’m pretty or anything.” That kind of sucks. Now I feel for her. Oh, and this bitch is 39 years old! She looks and acts like she’s in her early 20s! Crazy.

After going through a particularly awkward stretch of single life, Sarah Silverman discovered a man who isn’t her type at all – and it seems to be working out great.

Her new boyfriend, the writer Alec Sulkin, is “the first guy in a decade who’s given me any kind of compliment, like saying I’m pretty or anything,” the comedian, 39, tells the new issue of Page Six Magazine, due out Thursday.

“He’s really skinny. Usually I like pudgy, macho-ish guys,” says Silverman, who dated talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel for much of the last decade. “But I think I mistook macho-ish for strong, emotionally. And I think it’s really the opposite.”

The star of The Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central split up with Kimmel for good last March, and found herself dating for the first time since becoming famous – which proved tricky.

“It felt a little isolating,” she says. “Part of the fun of meeting someone is having them discover you. You’re doing your little tap dance, like, ‘This is me!’ And then [the person has] all these preconceived notions, things that are partially true and partially not.”

Silverman also weighs in on the David Letterman and Tiger Woods scandals, saying neither surprised her. “I can’t imagine he’s the nicest man in the world, but I love ‘talk show host’ David Letterman,” she says. “I’m not looking to have him be a United Nations representative. The same thing with Tiger Woods.”

And when it comes to the Jay Leno/Conan O’Brien controversy, it’s a no-brainer. “Conan was my first big break,” Silverman says. “He put me on all the time. I played on the Conan soccer team. I have a place in my heart so special for him.”

[From People]

It sounds like Sarah actually gave a real interview as herself instead of her dumb comedic persona. I also really like what she said about David Letterman, and even Tiger Woods - and I don’t think she’s alone. Those are two men with lots of issues in their personal lives, but many people will forgive them if they continue to do their jobs well. And Conan O’Brien? Well, Team Coco forever.

We don’t do enough Donatella Versace stories. She’s just as fun as Karl Lagerfeld, only more orange and more insane, if possible. While Lagerfeld seems contend to spend interview cataloguing his neverending list of hate, Donatella Versace genuinely seems to be much more fun and cool. If by “fun and cool” you mean “orange and insane”. But Donatella has a sense of humor about herself, as evidenced by a recent interview in LOVE Magazine (via HuffPo) in which Donatella admitted she had no idea what her “natural” hair color was, and that “I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables.” Haha… Beta-carotene.

Donatella Versace sat down with LOVE magazine to talk about the fashion world and her place in it. She remarked that she’s never felt like a fashion icon and frequently jokes about her looks, once saying: “I don’t even know what my natural colour is. Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables.”

She also reminisced about the supermodels of the ’90s, remembering when “Christy, Linda, Cindy and Naomi together–they sang Freedom, and George Michael was in the audience–that was an iconic moment of fashion.” But everyone didn’t always get along: “When a new girl came along, oh my God, it was like a war. The first time they got together, it was the big girls versus the new girl. I remember one time backstage: Linda needed to go on the runway. She was about to put in her fake boobs and found one of them had been taken. ‘Where is my boob? Where’s my boob?’ she was screaming over and over.”

So what does she think about the current state of fashion?

“Now is a bad moment. Now we need something. We need a special personality. We need to feed the egos of these girls. Somebody like Kristen [McMenamy] who had a huge ego. Beautiful…”

[From Huffington Post]

I’m so with Donatella about the whole “I miss models with real personalities” stuff. I miss Linda Evangelista, although she’s still working as a model. Linda used to be crazy and fun too. Naomi is still a diva, but I’ve never enjoyed her. And Christy was “the good one” right? The polite one who was never a diva. They really did have personalities, which this current crop… well, they might be nice girls, professional girls, but they all seem so boring.

Behold, the wonder that is a woman with nothing natural on or in her… please, don’t everyone yell at once “Burn it with fire!”:
