On This Day In 2006 Lil Kim was released from Philadelphia Federal Detention Center after serving ten months of her 366-day prison sentence for federal perjury. After being released, she returned to her home in Alpine, New Jersey where she remained under house arrest for 30 days. Happy 10 Years!

A former tabloid reporter released a tell-all dishing on everything from Lilo in Training to Brittany Murphy, and I rounded up all the #dirt for you guys!

A couple of you messaged me this story about a People magazine reporter quitting her job and writing a tell-all about her time working for the magazine, so I took that as my Bat Signal and ran to Amazon to snatch it up as soon as possible. I read it all this morning (It’s only 50 pages), and pulled out all the juicy stuff so you don’t have to. Let’s hop to it!

~Random Tidbits~

- The reporter, Sara Hammel, describes working for people as “glamorous and horrible.”

- She had a “terrible experience” with Jon Bon Jovi.

- She had a “great time” with Mary-Louise Parker, and she says Ricky Gervais is a cool guy, too.

- She said talking to Christian Bale“sadly cured” her crush.

- During some meetings, pictures of celebrities and their families were projected on a wall in a dark room and it was the job of the staff to pick them apart for stories.

- She loves Mischa Barton because “she hung out with my late Labrador Ollie at a house party once, adored him, and held his leash for me while I took a break and grabbed a plate of pasta.”

- She says Roger Federer is super nice.

- She ran into Victoria and David Beckham at a party after news of his Rebecca Loos cheating scandal broke. Victoria was dancing up against him, while he stood and looked totally disinterested. Sara interviewed Victoria for the magazine and she writes that Vic’s “nice” and has a good sense of humor, in addition to a strong sense of self-awareness.

- Sara’s interviewed Jennifer Garner twice, right after Seraphina’s birth and then several months after that. The first time she seemed uncomfortable, and the second time she seemed irritated by her weight loss, admitting to the pressure she’s faced by the media to have the ideal post-baby body.

- Sandra Bullock has a favorite side of her face and if you try to photograph her “bad” side, you’ll hear about it.

- Angelina Jolie isn’t the one who “wears the pants” when it comes to wrangling stories and photo exclusives with her, Brad, and their children. Sara also writes that Angie has mastered the art of “speaking while telling you nothing at all.” She also has a slow way of talking, looking you in the eyes only briefly and not connecting at all.

- Michael Douglas is pretty friendly.

- Lizzie Olsen is “so ethereally delicate” that her reps “skitter about to shield and protect her like an orchid, draping a jacket over her fragile shoulders.” She also claims Lizzie is picky about who she talks to on the red carpet.

- She makes a joke about a hypothetical situation in which James McAvoy was “cheating on his estranged wife” - subtle hint?

- A LILO IN TRAINING SHOUTOUT!

“Bella Thorne does connect, is friendly, makes eye contact, laughs, talks to you like an old friend. How I worry she’s going to get herself hurt. She’s one of the least programmed teens I’ve spoken to, and I want to hug her and tell her not to grow up so fast. I am way too late.”

- Bryan Cranston is nice but made an “off-color” joke in her presence, but Sara won’t fault him for it because “he had been to cocktail hour.”

- Val Kilmer is great to talk to - thoughtful, interesting, and nice.

- George Clooney is stiff and awkward around kids.

- During a movie premiere, Ryan Reynolds did an interview with the person to Sara’s left, then did a “pointed, snub-tastic about-face” and seemed to take a “smug satisfaction” in pointedly passing her, ignoring her, then managing to stop only two inches to her right to talk to another reporter.

- Kate Middleton’s face “falls” when she’s not smiling, and that’s why she’s smiling in every picture at every occasion.

~Brittany Murphy #Dirt!~

- Weeks after Brittany Murphy’s death, Sara got several calls from a blocked number, which turned out to be Brittany’s husband Simon Monjack. He asks her, slurring: “Are you writing nasty things or nice things about me?” Sara responds that she’s a journalist, so she’s just writing about what’s news. She asks how Sharon - Brittany’s mom - is doing, he responds: “Not so good. Who are you talking to about me? Do any of these people even know me?” Simon didn’t, however, speak about his two children: Jazmyn Newman, and “Bobby” who is now 17-years-old, according to Sara. She says Bobby is the spitting image of Simon, and loves football and basketball, and he was raised by an “adorable southern mom” - who Sara refers to as “Belle” - after Simon took off. Apparently Belle and Simon were together less than a year, and living in Europe when she got pregnant. Simon pushed for her to keep the child, and Belle later realized that Simon’s interest was in obtaining American citizenship rather than fatherhood. Before Bobby was born, Simon took off and never saw him again. Sara calls Brittany’s story one of the most bizarre stories she’s ever worked on.

- Simon tried to improve his fitness at one point before his death, hiring a personal trainer, and then not paying him. The trainer told Sara that he tried endless tactics to get his money from Simon, who would placate him with “the check’s in the mail” - and he even went so far as to send an empty Fedex envelope to the trainer as a stalling tactic.

- One of Simon’s last acts was to write a letter to Bobby, and he sent it right before he died. The letter was 1,100 words and failed to give his son a proper explanation for why he left, and contained many vague excuses. Additionally, inside it he never asks anything about Bobby or expresses interest in his son’s life, instead he just recounts events in his life. Sara notes that he tries too hard to sound intelligent in it, and he crams as many art and literary references that he can. When writing about Paris, he wrote: “…To go to the market at the Porte de Clignacourt early on a Sunday morning hoping to find the undiscovered treasure that the uncouth American’s have missed…” Nowhere in the letter does Simon write he’s sorry. Despite all of this, Belle told Sara that she was “so happy” he sent the letter, and that it meant a lot.

- An excerpt from the letter:

“Firstly, I would like to apologize that this letter is ten years too late. But there are as many ways to love as there are moments in time; in other words just because we have not had a physical relationship; I have loved you from a distance… you are so talented and that is exceptional so please enjoy it. Listen to your mother she knows. If you ever want reading suggestions or any advice I am only a phone call or e-mail [away]… Where the memory of your mother and I is woven into this story of an elaborate and beautiful City where the most dangerous words in the English language are spoken for the first time: I love you. My son, those words are sacred and only equalled by a very, very fine cigar! I hope we meet soon or you can come here and drive my Ferrari as I have no idea how to work it! Listen to your mother and go easy on yourself. With great affection, Your Loving Father.”

- He only makes a passing reference to Brittany in the letter. He referred to her as “too good for this world.”

- Simon never told Brittany about his children, but lied to Belle and told her he had.

- When he was with Brittany, he would wire tiny bits of child support money to Belle.

- When they were together, Simon was obsessed with Belle’s weight and wanted her to be thin, so Belle believes Brittany was anorexic at the time of her death.

- Belle’s written a memoir about her time with Simon and their tumultuous relationship, and she hopes to publish it one day.

~Blind Items~

Sara drops some mini-blinds throughout the book:

- A certain A-lister “miscarried and eventually divorced” partly because of the pressure to conceive.

- An actress aborted her actor boyfriend’s child after he cheated on her.

- A certain mega-star is gay, despite his “ happy straight-family” image.

- She alludes to celebrities “fake-dating” the “most famous beard in town.”

- One of her assignments was to interview an “extremely talented and famous-but-not-always-likeable performer, who a certain publication wanted to talk to about her weight struggles.” But her team shot down the interview because: “[The celebrity] doesn’t, um, know she’s fat, so, yeah, that’s not gonna happen…”

~Naughty or Nice~

At one point in the book she starts listing celebs and what ’categories’ they fit in:

- Celebrities who are “kind when they don’t have to be”: Emily Deschanel, Rosario Dawson, David Arquette, Colin Farrell, Michael Douglas.

- Celebrities who are “funny when they don’t need to impress you”: Kevin Kline, Bryan Cranston, Ricky Gervais.

- Celebrities who are “snappish or just plain rude”: Richard Gere, Alan Cumming, Jon Bon Jovi, Lupita Nyong'o.

- Celebrities who are “earnest”: BJ Novak, who likes to talk about books, and Michael Stipe - “[He] was just learning what a meme is when we talked a few years ago.”

- Celebrities who “treat you as an equal, even if they are not in the mood”: Jack Black, Chrissy Teigen, Hugh Jackman, Joshua Jackson, Jason Bateman, Jenna Fischer, Mischa Barton, Emma Thompson, Tea Leoni, and Misty Copeland.</.p>

- Celebrities who “take themselves very seriously”: Ryan Reynolds, Matthew McConaughey, Ashton Kutcher, and Elizabeth Olsen.

- Celebrities who “want nothing to do with you before they even meet you”: Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Reynolds, and Jennifer Lopez.

- Celebrities who “deigns to throw you a quote but makes it clear they’re doing you the grandest favor a higher being can bestow”: Jennifer Lawrence, Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes, and Eva Longoria.

~TOMKAT WEDDING #DIRT!!!~

- Marc Anthony did a toast to “life and new friends,” causing JLo to cry: “What about me?”

- Tom appeared “wildly uncomfortable with social small-talk,” and seemed very intense. He also didn’t laugh much… “save for one outburst that includes a fist-pounding and one loud guffaw.”

- At dinner, the couples - TomKat, Marc & JLo, Brooke Shields & Chris Menchy, and Leah Remini & Angelo Pagan - started sharing stories about their first dates. Sara noted Marc doesn’t appear to be the most friendly or sweet person in Jennifer’s presence - and Sara writes that Jennifer’s “no picnic” either from what she’s “observed.” Tom & Katie add nothing to the conversation and seem uncomfortable with the topic.

- She describes the group of celebs as “normal” and “dull.”

- Sara says Tom is “less charismatic” than his on-screen characters.

- When a wedding staffer thanked Katie for answering one of her questions, Katie was “horrified” for being thanked and proceeded to tell the staffer: “No, no - thank you!”

- Sara said she never saw the “repeated inquiries” Leah Remini now claims she made about Shelly Miscavige’s whereabouts. In fact, Sara notes that she saw very little having to do with Scientology, and that she didn’t even see David Miscavige around the rest of the group very often. She also notes how it’s untrue what Leah said about not being allowed to sit with Jennifer at the wedding. Sara claims she saw Leah and Jenny together a lot.

- Tom & Katie often rubbed noses together instead of kissing.

- While she was stationed outside the wedding to ask the various celebrities how the night went, JLo“speeds up” and passes in front of Sara and almost spits on her, visibly irritated by Sara’s presence.

(I’m confused - so what exactly went down? Was it like Pumkin vs. New York?)

Anyways, that’s about it. The book was semi-juicy, the highlight was obviously the Brittany #dirt. For another juicy tell-all, check out my Secrets of MTV’s Rich Girls writeup.

A year ago today, a trainwreck was born.

—————————————————

(If you have no idea who Lucia Cole is, please read this& this for an context!)

July 13th, 2015 was like any other day for me. I spent my morning listening to Good Charlotte and staring at pictures of Mary-Kate Olsen’s old face, when suddenly I was greeted with the tip of the year by one of my Twitter mutuals.

*A recreation of me checking my Twitter mentions that day featuring internationally acclaimed thespian Lindsay Lohan*

A week earlier, Ariana Grande fans had come across an interview with an up-and-coming pop artist named Lucia Cole (A misconception about this story is that I’m an Ariana fan myself, I’m not - trust me).

In the interview, she discussed an upcoming collaboration with Ariana, and thus the preliminary detective work into the strange saga that is Lucia Cole began. On the 13th, the Ariana fans tweeted their shocking discovery: Lucia doesn’t exist, and her music is relabeled Jessica Simpson tracks from the early-aughts.

The fans quickly shared their findings on various websites and forums to spread the word, and that’s when I got the tip about Lucia, and decided to do some of my own digging! Being a longtime Jessica Simpson fan, this fanbase hasn’t had much action since John Mayer called her sexual napalm - so I pounced. Over the next six days, I tirelessly sifted through Google Search results and abandoned forum topics, chronicling the strange history of Lucia’s dupery, and the multiple fake personas that preceded her. My extensive collection of Nancy Drew computer games prepared me for this very moment.

By the 19th, Lucia had been exposed in a way that hadn’t been seen since the fateful 2004 evening when the vocals to Pieces of Me started blaring on the SNL stage and Ashlee Simpson’s lips couldn’t catch up, so Lucia decided to share a suicidal farewell on Twitter:

… only to switch over to a new persona she had been building the entire time her Lucia identity was up in flames, this time she called herself Seriya Gedlu.

At that point, I gave up tracking the bizarre trainwreck that was Lucia, and she gave up too - or so I thought.

This past January, I received a tip from one of my readers that Lucia was back up to her old tricks, now posing as a pop artist named Nahla, and shilling Katharine McPhee’s old tunes as her own.

I gave it a look and…

Like Lucia, and the other personas that preceded her, Nahla had an iTunes page for music that wasn’t hers, fake articles on fake gossip sites that she created herself, fake fanpages run by herself, and thousands of purchased followers. Another tireless investigation later, I finally managed to uncover who Lucia was - a random woman named Aisha John from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana with a criminal record - with one of her many arrest warrants being issued the day she posted the suicide note as Lucia:

After the virtual unveiling, I temporarily retired from the case, but in honor of the one year anniversary of the very first Lucia post, I decided to check up on our favorite Catfish and see what trick she’s been pulling lately! There’s a select few trainwrecks special to this blog and my readers: Aaron Carter, Bella Thorne, Nikki Blonsky, and good ol’ Lucia! So let’s take a peek at what she’s been up to since January!

Back in March, I received a tip that Lucia wasn’t discouraged by January’s reveal, and created a brand new identity named ’Lamia Vano.’

Like Lucia, and the countless other fake personas that preceded her, Lamia had released some music online:

And if you take a listen to her song All That and type some of the lyrics into Google, you’ll come across a song by Chante Moore titled Go Ahead With All That:

And a few results below, you can see Lucia/Lamia/Aisha/Whatever submitted those same lyrics, pretending they’re hers:

Take a listen to any other songs on the album, search the lyrics, and you’ll come across more of Chante’s songs. But that was only her 2003 album, her most recent comeback album - titled Back in Style - showed some artistic growth!

Listen to Baby Baby, search the lyrics, and you’ll come across Joss Stone’s song Baby Baby Baby. Search Bad Habit and you’ll stumble upon Joss’ song of the same name - guess she got a little lazy with the titling this time around.

Aside from the stolen music, she also tried her hand at editing herself into the Republic Records Wiki page:

And, once again, she set a few gossip sites abuzz after sending tips to Blind Gossip& MediaTakeOut about an Instagram post she made amidst the increased media attention on the Kesha case:

While the post seemed vague at first, she connected the dots for them and tipped them off that the ~mystery producer is Jermaine Dupri:

And I know you’re wondering who the pictures are of - since it’s not our pal Reese.

A quick reverse image search on Google will reveal that she’s jacking pictures from a random California law student named Allyson Bankhead:

After I contacted her about ‘Lamia’ using her photos, and commented on Lamia’s Instagram, Lamia stopped posting. But days later, she set up her current identity: Zariah Avana.

Like all of the personas that came before her, Zariah has her own Wiki page:

She’s made a splash on gossip sites, stealing Mariah Carey’s life story this time around:

She has an official website, too:

If you click ’Blog’ you’ll come across this single, highly emotional, post:

And she even has her own VEVO page!

Speaking of her music, she dipped back into her past-persona-archive and recycled some of her stolen Katharine McPhee tracks. Listen to Lamia’s song Do What U Do, search the lyrics, and you’ll come across Katharine’s Do What You Do.

And like her past personas, Aisha/Zariah/Whatever also set up fake fan accounts for Zariah, showing love for this imaginary model/popstar:

And, of course, there’s the great question of whose pictures she’s stealing this time:

A simple reverse image search will lead you to model Talia Richman:

But all of this stuff, frankly, is pretty boring. We’re used to Aisha/Lucia/Whatever’s tricks by now, but just as I thought I’d seen it all - it got dark.

Before I dive into the heavy #dirt, I’d like to mention that while Aisha’s been maintaining her new Zariah persona over the past few months, she’s also kept the Nahla Rowe one alive on several dating websites. A source of mine, who’s also closely followed the case, told me that they were contacted by a college football coach who had been talking to the Nahla persona on OkCupid for a while. The coach was extremely surprised to find out Nahla was a fraud because the two even added each other on Snapchat, and he didn’t think it was possible for someone to upload videos that weren’t theirs on the app. With that tidbit out of the way, here’s some of darker twists in the case since the January post.

In March, Aisha was busted for theft according to a publish arrest report available online:

The following month she got into even more legal trouble when she was charged with contempt of court:

I swear she’s coming for Lindsay’s mugshot record at this point!

But it gets darker - a few weeks after January’s post, Aisha’s father passed away:

If you remember, her mom had passed away years ago, and her only family member - aside from her parents - is Casey, her sister who had gone missing briefly & has a mental illness.

But Aisha might be ill, too - well, according to an account that’s probably run by Aisha. A PCD2009 reader, mikaljeksen, who’s also been keeping up with the Lucia saga quickly caught onto the Zariah persona and set up an account to expose her:

@pcd2009 LUCIA COLE IS BACK HONEY.

— Expose Zariah (@ExposeZariah)

July 8, 2016

They were greeted within minutes by an account claiming to be one of the John’s family friends:

Let’s take a look at this supposed family friend’s likes:

Yeah, there’s a good chance Aisha’s running this account, too. But the reader did have a chat with this ’family friend’ account and the account (probably Aisha herself) said that Aisha was recently released from Northlake Behavioral Hospital, a treatment center in Louisiana:

The account goes on to allege that some of the doctors Aisha’s encountered claim she has bipolar disorder, others have suggested depression, and most recently Aisha had a “psychotic breakdown” following the death of her father. Whether or not this is true is up for debate, though, because Aisha’s Facebook is now gone:

But it does seem fishy a random family friend would know this much about Aisha’s alleged condition. They went on to plead with the PCD2009 reader to delete the @ExposeZariah account since Zariah was just “having fun” and nobody was getting hurt… except, y'know, the guys she talks to for months on various dating websites and fools them into thinking her imaginary personas are real people.

Who knows where the story will take us next, but after all of this, my greatest lingering question remains whether or not Joe Simpson ever read the email I sent him last year. Thanks for reading yet another exciting chapter in the Lucia Cole saga!

Joel Madden, 2006

Texts from Trace Cyrus to Jeffree Star, 2008

Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley got married! The pair, who had gotten engaged the previous year, said their vows at the Lillybelle estate in Montecito, California.

They were joined by over 100 guests, including friends and family from their native Ontario.

As gifts, guests received monogrammed candles and guitar picks that said Avril Picked Deryck& Deryck Picked Avril.

And the couple’s first dance was to the Goo Goo Dolls’ Iris.

Initially, Avril planned on having a “rock n’ roll, goth wedding” but changed her mind: “I have to wear the white dress. People though that I would [wear a] black wedding dress, and I would have. But at the same time, I was thinking about the wedding pictures, and I wanted to be in style.”

Happy 10 Years!

On This Day In 2006 Fergie released London Bridge, the lead single from her solo debut The Dutchess. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks, and was certified platinum by July 2007. Happy 10 Years!

It’s been a while, I know I shouldn’t have kept you waiting…

Yeah, I’ve been really slacking on the Lilo in Training posts, you don’t need to remind me. But now it’s catch-up time! So let’s see what B has been up to since the last post. We left things off with her moving in with Gregg, and since then the pair celebrated their one-year anniversary:

Happy one year you muffin you ❤️ @greggsulkinpic.twitter.com/aYBAkPoEH1

— bella thorne (@bellathorne) May 23, 2016

Uhh… anyways, people were quite surprised by the video, to say the least. Some even voiced their distaste for the romantic gesture, and LIT’s feminist side was not pleased:

So you wanna to punch a woman for being silly with her own boyfriend? Glad to see women sticking together.. https://t.co/DDhiAKGg7C

— bella thorne (@bellathorne) May 24, 2016

Girls hurt other girls and it’s so sad to see. This is why we have such bad sexism in the world. https://t.co/aVUUeCGeLT

— bella thorne (@bellathorne) May 24, 2016

You think it’s funny to bullyother girls?Guys?It’s not fucking funny my heart goes out to people that are affected by these things #amyinita

— bella thorne (@bellathorne) May 24, 2016

The backlash angered her so much, actually, that she took to Snapchat to express her frustration with the world & its perception of women… while roaming the aisles of CVS:

It’s interesting that she seems to be so offended by women not sticking together when a few weeks later she did an interview with a magazine & claimed girls are always “bitchier” no matter where you go:

“I don’t get offended because girls are really mean. I will say — no matter where you go in life, it’s high school everywhere. I’m sure in the work office, for you, there’s high school [drama], and there’s one girl who’s bitchier than everybody. Girls are just mean and so competitive — it’s so crazy. I’m very chill in that way. Other girls sometimes get really, really like, competitive and catty and ‘Who likes who? You like him? Too bad. I like him. We’re going to have a problem now.‘”

In that interview she also went on to describe her ideal night out, which doesn’t include massive piles of blow, but ramen:

“It’s the girls that are tomboys that I’m so down, any time of day, because I like to get my hands dirty. Germs don’t freak me out, and so I’m really just down to chill, you know, and watch movies. Anybody that can do that, any girls who can do that, you’d be surprised that like, everybody just wants to chill. But it’s not all the time. Girls ask me, ‘Let’s go out? Let’s go to this party? My friend’s famous and we should totally go there.’ And I’m always just like, ‘No! I’m tired, dude. I’m so tired. I just want to go home, watch a movie, sit on Netflix, and eat Top Ramen or order food.’”

This reminds me of that time when Paris Hilton said she’d rather stay home and watch Lost instead of clubbing.

I’m not buying it.

And while we’re on the subject of feminism, LIT also decided to give her two cents regarding the #AskHerMore campaign:

“I really like to know what people are wearing.”

Doesn’t she have a way with words? Anyways, after celebrating their anniversary, LIT & Gregg still had other things to celebrate, like Gregg’s birthday!

The pair dined at Roku in Beverly Hills, and her outfit was surprisingly conservative considering what she was wearing prior to the sushi excursion:

Running around L.A. in a bikini? Another classic Lilo move! Who can forget those pictures of her jogging through the streets of Hollywood only a few days after having her appendix removed back in '07:

La Lohan at her finest!

After the birthday dinner, LIT made headlines for another move - getting a colonoscopy!

I’m bored.. Having a colonoscopy tomorrow ..so chilling inside.. shitting my brains out if anybody wanted to know :)

Nobody’s quite sure why she got one in the first place, but she made a speedy recovery and was back to slithering her way through L.A. parties in no time! Here she is at Jeremy Scott’s Moschino S/S '17 event:

Jeremy’s an old pal of Lilo’s, and even shot her 2008 Paper Magazine spread:

But B knows your summer’s boring unless you do a little traveling, so after the 4th of July weekend she jetted out to Italy!

As soon as the girls landed in Rome they found the closest paparazzi cameras:

But despite LIT’s reputation, she kept things pretty tame - at least in comparison to Lindsay’s 2007 trip to Capri where she hooked up with three Italian men in a single weekend:

So while she didn’t quite live up to LL, B still managed to keep things interesting. Here she is posing next to the Colosseum:

And she also shared some videos on Snapchat of her looking wasted in the car with Dani, but I was too lazy to save them, but that does bring me to this major piece of #dirt I have! Have you guys noticed how the only family member she’s been hanging out with the past few months has been Dani? Not her mom? Or her brother? Or even the other sister nobody cares about?

Well, the buzz around town is that LIT’s estranged from her family, sans Dani. Apparently she cut mommy dearest out of her life because she was disapproving of Gregg, and the straw that broke the camel’s back was the big move-in a couple of months ago. B’s mom used to put up with her wild ways simply because she was carrying the cash, and the bills needed to be paid somehow, but now those days are long gone and the only one that can reach through to LIT is Dani - but she’s a junkie too and resting on B’s movie money. Who would’ve thought her Dina Lohan era would come to an end so soon?

Also, now that mommy’s out of her life, apparently B’s been partying more & more. Sources of mine have spotted her getting bottle service at 1Oak quite often the past several months, and her dr*g use hasn’t slowed down either - doesn’t sound pretty, so I’ll keep mugshots.com bookmarked since we all know it’s coming at this point.

But while we wait, let’s take a look at some of the projects LIT has in the oven. For starters, she’s reuniting with her Midnight Sun director Scott Speer for a new project - Break My Heart 1,000 Times. Also, like I spilled ages ago, her TV show Famous In Love is doing recasts - and she’ll probably try to snag Gregg a role. Finally, the trailer for Boo! A Madea Halloween is out:

Now let’s check out the stories you guys sent in!

#DIRT

1).

“I used to see a guy who worked in the music industry, and he was very close with R5. At one of their pool parties Lilo in Training was there, crouching in bushes, trying to get people to smoke with her. I’ve also heard she’s a mega-c*nt.” - Anonymous

2).

“I work in the magazine industry and recently an editor at one of the major weeklies told me that moving forward they won’t be covering anything about Lilo in Training because she 'dresses and acts age inappropriately.’ Ariel Winter, too, but no one cares about her.” - Anonymous

And that’s it for the LIT updates! I’ll leave you with this:

Errrr..find one..? There’s also other things you can use..that don’t involve a him..;) https://t.co/WlOibOFO6t

~LIT’S BOYFRIEND~

Last time we checked up on B’s loser boyfriend, his MTV show Faking It got the axe. Since then he’s kept busy, for starters he turned 24:

He starred in Armani Exchange’s F/W 2017 campaign:

And he already wrapped filming on that high school comedy where he ~pretends to be gay:

Yeah… that’s about it. I’ll leave you with this:

I will say it now. My angel @bellathorne deserves to be nominated for an Oscar for her new film. I just sobbed for 2 hours.

~NICOLA PILLZ~

Even though I’m proudly #TeamLIT, I have to admit, I’m fascinated by Pillz. There’s something about those dead eyes that’s just absolutely captivating to me. I think that’s why I always love watching Dateline & Tyra Banks’ sitdown with Naomi Campbell, there’s something about evil that intrigues all of us. Anyways, Pillz has been up to quite a bit since we last checked up on her. While she’s no longer crying about canine euthanasia, she’s still devoting her time to animals. Here are some pictures of her and Justin Bieber heading to Mastro’s steakhouse in Beverly Hills back in May:

When these pictures surfaced, pretty much everybody & their mother messaged me asking for my thoughts. What I will say is that based on this move, Pillz is channeling her predecessor Paris perfectly! Remember Paris’ Nick Carter era?

Like Nick, Justin is a white trash popstar with a DUI under his belt - the parallels practically build themselves:

And the dinner date wasn’t the only Pillz/Bieber outing! A couple of weeks later they were caught hanging out at the CN Tower in Toronto:

Pillz is probably thinking of ways to shatter that glass floor and send him to his death. On the bright side, the sightings helped her score her first tabloid article!

I’m so confused, what caused them to split? Was it my amazing Peabody-snubbed May LIT post? I don’t have the answers yet, but I have a feeling I’ll be getting them soon. Aside from Justin, Nicola’s also been spotted hanging out with Gumby Elgort:

And the night before the outing, Nicola got matching tattoos with her 30-year-old brother Will:

Thankfully PCD2009 reader Spencer Pratt commented on the family bonding so I wouldn’t have to:

In other recent Pillz news, she decided to hang out with Taylor Swift’s #allegedly drug-addicted stalker Jaime King:

She looks absolutely disgusted to be there, I would be too. Aside from that, she was also photographed leaving the Skyspace launch at the US Bank Tower in L.A. with her dollar store Jason Davis:

But enough of this stuff! Let’s shift things over to real estate, shall we? Me and my pal problematic-queen were bored one day and decided to pull a Nick Prugo and get the scoop on what the Pillz estate is like, since we’ve heard so many wild stories.

Let’s start with the infamous Bedford estate where many a nanny has been slapped, and very few survive to tell the tale:

And a bird’s eye view:

A couple of close-ups:

The pool made a cameo in one of Pillz’s recent Insta snaps:

Lmao @ that golf cart in the back. I feel like for fun she plays a Purge-style game where she drives around the estate with a hunting rifle and takes aim at whichever staff members are slacking. These little shacks to the side seem a bit sketchy, too. Is Pillz pulling some Ed Gein shit behind closed doors?

Also, it’s interesting to note that near the Peltz estate is Mariah Carey’s one-time hellhole with Tommy Mottola:

Here’s what it looked like back in the day for reference:

And we all know what dark stuff went down behind closed doors:

You’re probably wondering why the house is destroyed. Well, shortly before Christmas '99, the mansion burned to a crisp in an early morning blaze, but the cause is still a mystery. Early responders assumed it probably had to do with faulty wiring, but after days of sifting through the charred ruins, a cause could not be determined and the investigation was handed over to the insurance company of the home’s new owner… Nelson Peltz.

Yep! After Mimi and Tommy called it quits in '97, Nicola’s billionaire daddy swooped in and bought the house, and was even in the process of renovating it at the time of the fire. Interesting, right? And according to the Internet™, he still owns the property… #hmm. Now let’s move things over to the Palm Beach estate:

Yeah, he owns two houses… right across the street from each other. The front of the mansion:

And the house on the water:

A bird’s eye:

Anyways, that’s it for the Pillz updates. Hopefully no nannies are harmed by the making of the next post.

~LIT’S FRIENDS~

Sigh, the buddies. You’re not going to want to hear this, but I’ve gotten kinda bored of them. I know, I know… you guys are probably thinking: “First you take two months to make this fucking post, and now you’re telling us you haven’t even been paying attention to them?” I failed you all unfortunately, but since I’ve ended high school I’ve been so busy and haven’t had the time I used to have to pay attention to drug-addled trust-fund babies, please find it in your heart to forgive me. However, I’ll still try my best to keep this section interesting, so let’s start with the ringleader, self-proclaimed “male Blair Waldorf” Andrew Warren:

Yeah, that’s pretty much what he’s been doing since we last caught up with him. Aside from that, he did an interview with the Daily Front Row where he cites Kris Jenner and Andy Warhol as his inspirations… so that says everything. Moving on, Kyra Ketamine’s been having quite the quiet summer so far, but she did brag about running over a flamingo once - while striking sultry poses for some magazine:

Of course Andrew had to weasel his way in there. Moving on, Gaia Matisse has also been remarkably boring the past couple of months. The most interesting thing I could find in her feed was her latest tattoo:

And now she’s in Paris:

Thrilling. Okay, time for Barron Hilton! While his brother is behind bars, he’s continued to party:

Oh Barron, you should really be thankful that you’re not in Conrad’s place. It still blows my mind that he got zero jail time for drunkenly hitting that gas station attendant with his car back in '08.

#neverforget

He also did some interview with the Daily Front Row where he talked about his food-dedicated Instagram @BarronsBites, in addition to his time at Loyola Marymount where he barely showed up to class. Hmm, who should I talk about next… oh yeah, the racist probably-incestuous billionaire bros. Harry & Peter Brant!

So first thing’s first, they’re still pushing that MAC line nobody gives two shits about:

And in an interview with Bustle, Harry revealed his love of makeup stems from trying to cover up his bad acne. Too bad he’s too irrelevant for Proactiv, since I’d love to see him twist his emotionless face while trying to talk about how awful his life has been because of a few pimples. Anyways, while Peter hasn’t been assaulting anybody or skipping out on dinner bills the past couple of months, him and Harry did catch my eye for another reason…

THEY’RE PARTYING WITH COOP!?

Here are some paparazzi pictures of them out in Paris:

And to make things even more coked up, the group met up with Pillz in the 90210. Sadly there’s no pictures of Pillz & Coop together:

Misch, I love you, but I’ve been telling half the world you’re going to make a comeback and hanging out with these pill-popping billionaire brats is not going to make that happen - trust me! I fear Coop’s still traumatized from being second-rate to LIT at that party and is trying to reclaim her it-girl crown by hanging with B’s pals. Oh, and speaking of not-exactly-relevant-and-possibly-drugged-up-even-though-they-claim-otherwise-former it-girls, Harry & Peter’s mommy dearest, Stephanie Seymour, scored quite a bit of attention the past month. No, she didn’t get another DUI. Instead, she suggested KenDULL Jenner and the Hadid thing be called “bitches of the moments” instead of “supermodels.” Probably the smartest thing that’s ever come out of her mouth, but unfortunately she apologized to the girls via Instagram within a day:

First Rebecca Romijn, now her - why can’t any of these actual models stand their ground? Do Yolanda Foster’s delusional Twitter rants really scare them? It doesn’t make any sense, but anyways, let’s check up on Cazzie David.

Her and Pete Davidson seem to still be going strong, and as far as I know she hasn’t joked about any terrorist attacks in recent months, so slight improvement I guess? Now let’s catch up with Sofia Richie!

Yeah, that’s a picture of her leaving 1Oak with 29-year-old soccer player Samir Nasri. I like Lionel, he seems like a cool guy, but he does not know how to parent… at all.

Speaking of innapropriate relationships, I wonder how Mini-Mary Kay Letourneau is doing lately?

…Yikes. Apparently her and Jaden are still going strong:

And a PCD2009 reader sent me an Instagram account run by one of Sarah’s former friends, and the posts did not disappoint:

And the comments:

And another picture of whoever this friend is with Sarah:

Lmao @ the Confederate flag in the background, what kind of white trash Valley of the Dolls. And while there’s no new coke videos, the PCD2009 reader also sent me this:

~Oblig~

Mini-Mary Kay always finds a way to top herself. Remember the Birkin theft?

#Classic. Finally, let’s see what’s up with her anti-depressants-hating-sex-advice-giving-legal-lolita-former-friend Eileen Kelly!

Inspiring. But I guess her sexual education website is tanking harder than a Lohan at Bungalow 8 since she’s resorted to bearding for Joe Jonas for some extra coins:

And time to spill the #dirt you guys have been submitting on the buddies, let’s start with Andrew Warren:

“The whole Andrew Warren saying he’s the ~male Blair Waldorf is funny because he was a complete nobody in high school and only has the friends he has now because they were in need of a token gay friend.” - Anonymous

Okay, harsh… but probably true. Moving on, a little Mini-Mary Kay Letourneau gossip:

“Hi! I just discovered your blog from The Cut and I love it. Anyways, I saw you write a little bit about Sarah Snyder, and I have a funny story to tell about her and Jaden Smith. I was at a private party for my friend’s birthday at Never Never in NYC. Sarah and Jaden were there, clearly high off their heads, kissing very obnoxiously in one of the booths (mind you this is a VERY VERY small bar) - two hours later I go into the bathroom that was unlocked… and they were having sex! Jaden quickly pushed the door.” - Anonymous

Interesting visual, here’s another piece of Mini-Mary Kay #dirt:

“I have a tip about Sarah Snyder - well, it’s more of a backstory. So a couple years ago she was just a nobody from Florida. She started hanging out/fucking with a bunch of Tumblr 'famous’ guys like @kailumieres and @thefakeoriginal. She sucked Ian Connor’s dick in the alley behind Supreme and pretty much fucked her way to the top. She’s mad into drugs though, like she would hang out with us and just be like, 'I want to do drugs!’” - Off-Anonymous

I don’t know how many of you have been keeping up with the Ian Connor story, but most recently he’s been threatening women on Twitter (If you guys want a breakdown of the story, just ask and I’ll put it in the next LIT post). And I’ll leave you guys with some Cazzie David #dirt:

“Pete Davidson - Cazzie David’s boyfriend - is too fucking good for her. I intern at NBC/SNL (hence the anonymity) and you can hear him fighting with her all the time. He just wants to make it work, but she refuses to go to the shows because they don’t get that much publicity there. She also gets high when she comes to see the show and it ruins the mood. Cazzie doesn’t understand this is Pete’s workplace and her actions reflect his judgement.” - Anonymous

And that’s a wrap! I’ll leave you with this little gem I dug up - Andrew & Miley Cyrus circa 2008:

Cute, I guess?

StarJuly 12, 2004

lindsay lohan’s instagram/snapchat are wild rn. she’s literally giving us a play by play of catching her fiance cheating on her.

Or “I Know Who Cheated On Me”?

So everything started last night on Snapchat when Lindsay started telling Egor “ET” to “phone home”:

And then shit hit the fan about an hour ago when she shared this post on Insta:

Followed by this:

Apparently Dasha Pash is a well-known “socialite” - or “hooker,” whichever profession floats your boat, and as soon as Lilo tagged her in the post, her three fans (not including me) pounced:

She followed up the reveal with this video of Egor at a club, captioned “Home?”

And moments later Dasha set her account to private, unfortunately I forgot to follow it so if anybody else was able to squeeze in before the lock, let me know!

I’ll keep you guys updated with any breaking Lohan news, as per usual. Of course this entire mess gave me flashbacks to the SamRo days:

This is giving me flashbacks to that video of her screaming outside Samantha Ronson’s house in 2009. pic.twitter.com/Fn5HOEu99C

“I’M YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!!” Ah, simpler times.

UPDATE:

…What?

UPDATE #2:

SHE POSTED DASHA’S CONTACT INFO & DELETED IT!

This mess is so Shanna Moakler circa 2007, I love it!

UPDATE #3:

She posted this:

And updated the caption to that “Home?” video of Egor in the club:

Someone needs to edit this picture 2012 Tumblr style with a black bar over Dasha’s eyes & “Trust No One” scribbled on it:

UPDATE (7/24):

Dasha’s off private and made this post:

This entire thing has been wild.
