CelebritiesDirt Bag

Behind the scenes at Dancing With The Stars, ABC execs have ordered extra security to protect Chaz Bono from “crazies.” As you know, our nation’s greatest threat is not a dirty bomb from an extreme terror sect but a dude doing the cha-cha-cha. [TMZ]
Additional Dancing With The Stars “news”: Ricki Lake is slimming down: “When I went in for a costume fitting, I’ve lost 8 ½ inches. Three inches in my waist. Three in my hips. Over an inch in my thighs and another inch and a half on my arms. It’s crazy.” She also says: “Every part of my body hurts.” [NYDN]


The lawyers representing Britney Spears would like $900,000 in legal fees, thank you very much. [Radar]
Britney on her sons: “When I’m on the road they come with me and they love being on the road… They are in awe, they come home and copy the dancers and the dancers’ moves and try to get on their heads and do spins and do all these things. They’ll definitely, probably be, in the entertainment businesses.” Definitely. Probably. Maybe. [Contact Music]


What Lindsay Lohan does with her time is a complete and utter mystery, but not necessarily shady or illegal. For instance, just because she was photographed kissing Dream Hotel owner Vikram Chatwal doesn’t mean they are more than friends, that she was doing coke, or that she gave him a blow job. Honestly, there is nothing weird in the images at the link, it’s just that people have filthy minds. [The Superficial]


The Foo Fighters showed up at a Westboro Baptist Church protest and played music loud enough to drown out the hatemongers. Dave Grohl shouted, “God Bless America! It takes all kinds; I don’t care if you’re black or white or purple or green, whether you’re Pennsylvanian or Transylvanian, Lady gaga or Lady Antebellum. Men loving women and women loving men and men loving men and women loving women — you all know we like to watch that. But what I’d like to say is, God Bless America, y’all!” [HuffPo]


Recently, photos of a battered and bruised “real” housewife Taylor Armstrong were released. She allegedly sold the images to Entertainment Tonight. But Russell Armstrong‘s lawyer says the images were not caused by Russell, but by a “an incident involving a football to the face.” But! Sources close to Taylor insist the pix are real and that there are more. [TMZ, Page Six]
