> Grace Jones has re-entered the building. The
singer-model-actress began prepping for her massive comeback later this summer
by performing at the opening of the Mission Beach Elandra resort in
Cairns, Australia, over the weekend. Jones was paid $200,000 for
playing the event, but refused to stay at the brand new resort because
it's only rated four and a half stars. Instead she stayed in a private
villa called Altitude One 40, which features its own helipad and
normally costs $15,000 a week to rent. The 60-year-old star is apparently showing no signs of wear and tear as a party goer claims she "had the body of a 19-year-old."
Before leaving the stage Jones addressed the audience by saying "Thank
you all! Fuck you all!" And after hearing that we're sure the audience
vaporized and the brand new resort crumbled in the wake of such fabulously
brutal kick-ass-ness.
> Watch your back, Posh! It seems the transsexuals of America have a bone to pick -- or several to snap -- with you. According to a spokesperson for the California-based Transsexual Alliance, Victoria Beckham's support of Project Runway winner Christian Siriano has "outraged transsexuals across the country." Siriano angered transsexuals and trans supporters by referring to people, places, and things he found displeasure with as "tranny messes." Last May he remarked in an interview, "If you think of heterosexuals, they have white trash women and trailer parks and we have drag queens and trannies." (Then he took it back and apologized up and down.) Posh has been a huge fan of the designer since meeting him on the finale of Project Runway. Dawn, a transsexual escort from LA, says, "She might not have to worry about physical attack but boy is she going to be embarrassed when 50 of us turn up at her next public function and tell the world what we think..." We hate to say this, Dawn -- because we think you have a legitimate gripe -- but don't forget Posh traveled around the world with four other women dressed in outfits that looked like they were fashioned from shower curtains, a pack of turkey bologna, and a hot glue gun and singing songs with lyrics like "a zigazig ha!" Embarrassing her is going to be no easy feat.
> In yet another chapter in the Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford are/aren't gay saga, Crawford's rep issued a statement to Us Weekly saying, "These endless rumors are absolutely untrue." TMZ caught up with the Gossip Girl star himself and after being asked about the rumors he replied, "The rumor is there's no rumors." Ooh! We like that, Chace. Maybe we'll steal it for our own self-serving, capitalistic needs and start selling t-shirts and crushed velvet sweat pants and little plastic snow globes with tiny pink plastic penis confetti floating in them that are logo-ed with "Popnography: The Rumor is There's No Rumors!"
