Remember we told you about how Pizza Hut spokesdope Jessica Simpson is allergic to pizza? Well, it gets even worse:
The blonde starlet and the hunky quarterback may look like the picture-perfect couple, but are Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo just putting on an act? According to Star Magazine, the rumor mill points to a PR hookup for the couple orchestrated by none other than Jessica’s dad-cum-manager, Joe Simpson…
So what’s in it for Tony? Well, publicity is a two-way street. Star reports Jess and Tony are in talks to film a Pizza Hut commercial for the Super Bowl broadcast.
Hooking up with a boyfriend you don’t like to promote food you can’t eat, all so your creepy dad can make even more money off your hot, hot body? I thought I knew you, Jessica… and it turns out I did!
Lindsay Lohan has been photographed a few times in recent weeks buying packs of Ariva, a nicotine substitute that smokers use to kick the habit.
Then it leaked that Ariva’s been quietly paying her to indirectly endorse the product by buying it in front of the paparazzi, making sure that the label is clearly visible in photos of her.
But this whole shady deal is on the brink of collapse because the company is upset that she’s still smoking three packs a day. Of course, she’s still in Italy, and when (literally) in Rome… you know the rest. Not to mention that she’s going through Italians like so many flavors of gelato. Honey, if I were getting as busy as you are, I’d need a cigarette (or 60) too.
Pittsburgh billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife earned himself a prime spot in Hillary Clinton’s “vast right-wing conspiracy” during the ’90s by pumping tons of money into the investigations of Bill’s extramarital activities (among other conservative causes). Now he seems to have been doing some tomcatting of his own. A few years back his wife — Margaret Ritchie Rhea Battle Scaife, AKA Ritchie — hired a private dick to follow him, and according to the latest issue of Vanity Fair:
In December of 2005, the private detective proved Ritchie’s fears to have been well founded: he took pictures showing the reclusive 75-year-old billionaire with a woman named Tammy Vasco, a tall, blonde 43-year-old whose criminal history includes two arrests for prostitution. The pair was photographed at Doug’s Motel, a roadside establishment near Pittsburgh, where rooms rent for $49 a night, or $31 for three hours.
Doug’s Motel? Gotta love it. And a week after Ritchie found out, guess what Scaife did? He kicked her out of the house and called the cops on her for trespassing! She sneaked back around on foot to the dining-room window to try to catch him with Vasco on her cellphone camera, set off the security system, and got dragged away by the cops:
The 60-year-old socialite spent that night — three days before Christmas — in a holding cell at the Allegheny County Jail, where her fellow prisoners passed the time by petting the fur collar of her coat.
VF has the whole sordid story, which The Washington Post teased back in October. Ritchie’s getting over $1 million a month from him, so maybe that’s worth the humiliation. Me, I’d want at least $1.5 mil…
