As promised, here’s the exclusive videos of Patrick Swayze celebrating his birthday on The Beast set yesterday. The Boots Girls were the only reporters on the set and you heard the details here first!
The whole crew sang “Happy Birthday” to him and wore t-shirts that read “Crazy for Swayze”.
It was a special day for Swayze and his family and we were happy we were there to wish him a happy birthday as well!
Yo, yo, yo! I had the celebrity sighting of the year last night at Carmines!
I was so lucky to run into Viagra Triangle Tony! Those who read The Dirty know that he’s a famed icon in the Windy City and apparently unbeknownst to Tony.
What is this Dirty sh*t?” Tony asked as you can see in the video.
After Tony was so nice to say hi to me during my dinner at Carmines, we went over to Tavern on Rush and Tony bought me a drink. I’m so glad I ran into him, because he gave me some great advice! He said if I write about him over Angelina JOLEEN I’ll become more famous than Barbara Wa Wa. He also said that he’s going to rip my underwear off and throw it on the ceiling.
“If it sticks, then I’ll know if you’ve been a bad girl,” Tony exclaimed!
LOL! Watch the video. If pictures are worth a thousand words, this video is worth a million!
For those of you who have read my column and blog, you may know that John Cusack is often spotted riding his mountain bike around Chicago. You should also know that I’ve reported that Cusack has picked up chicks at local bars and rode them home on his mountain bike. He literally puts them on the handlebars, no joke!
Well, last night I saw Cusack cruising around Chicago on a scooter. The boy’s moving up in the world! Cusack cruised around the Viagra Triangle with Stanley’s owner Donnie Kruse without a helmet all night.
Guess he’s not a safety boy. Cusack will be throwing out the first pitch and singing at the 7th inning stretch at the Cubs game at Wrigley Field this Sunday.
Self-proclaimed “miracle” man Patrick Swayze celebrated his 56th birthday today in Chicago - a glorious day that many thought he may never see.
The actor, who’s battling pancreatic cancer, looked as good as gold today arriving on the set at the break of dawn to film scenes for the third episode of the A&E series The Beast and The Boots Girls were there!
Nothing was stopping this optimistic star as he filmed all day at Millennium Park in the downtown area of the Windy City in 80 degree weather and choosing to do his own stunts. In one scene, Swayze leapt over a 10 ft. high stone fence and then sprinted at least a 50 yard dash through the park . “I can’t believe the stamina he has,” one eyewitness exclaimed. “He looked like he was training for the Olympics!”
Swayze broke for lunch around noon and was met by his adoring wife, Lisa Niemi, and relatives at his trailer. Crew set up the trailer with birthday signs and decor and they brought him a cake. Swayze could not have been in a better mood. He was waving to fans, signing autographs and dishing out hugs like candy.
When Swayze got back to the set, he got a pleasant surprise from the crew. They all had thrown on shirts that read “Crazy for Swayze” and sang Happy Birthday when he stepped out of his SUV.
“It was a very touching moment for everyone,” a source on the set said. “Patrick was filled with joy and smiles. You can tell that he is loving life and so happy to be alive.”
We’re so happy to report about Swayze’s special birthday today! We love him here in Chicago and we’re so happy that he is doing so well!
Keep checking back. We have more details and videos from today to come!
Exes Pink and Carey Hart were photographed together and looking “together” over the weekend at a party Hart had to celebrate his brother, Tony Hart’s life because he recently died in a motorcycle accident.
The event was held at Carey’s new club Wasted Space in Las Vegas and although sources said they looked like they had reconciled, it might have just been that Pink was there for Carey while he goes through this hard loss.
International singer Rihanna is reportedly broke and is left with only $20,000 in the bank! And she’s fired her manager, Patricia Williams, and accused her of stealing from her.
“Def Jam doesn’t fund Rihanna properly, so Marc [Jordan] uses the money Rihanna makes from third-party endorsements and from tours to fund her album and music videos,” Willliams said.
Williams is trying to clear her name and pass the blame. “I don’t want to disrespect Marc’s name. He is a fantastic manager and genuinely believes in Rihanna. But he uses her money to fund her future projects because he believes he can break her in the world-market,” Williams continued. “Her album sales are not nearly as close to her single sales and he knows that if she is only known as a ’singles artist’ she will only be as good as her last hit. Unfortunately, he didn’t inform his client and I’m receiving the brunt of it.”
So, the bottom line is that Rihanna’s basically been paying to launch her own career. “Then came for the repackaging of her album Good Girl Gone Bad, which is called Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, that entire project was funded through Rihanna’s money. Take A Bow was bought through her money, the video was created with her money and so is her most recent video and single Disturbia,” Williams said. “The label didn’t even want to pay a dime for anything! Close to $750,000 was spent on those two songs alone. And now she expects to see money in her account?”
While John Mayer had no problem blabbing about his breakup with Jennifer Aniston, she’s kept pretty quiet about the whole thing. But her friends are speaking out!
“Jen will never kiss and tell, but it’s she who ended the relationship,” a source close to Jen told MSNBC . “[Mayer’s] childish behavior only confirms she was right to dump him. Now he’s acting like a spoiled child. Expect Jen to behave like a lady.”
Mayer likes to pretend like he hates the paparazzi hounding him, yet Aniston’s friend said it’s quite the opposite. “He has a relationship with certain paparazzi [and] bloggers,” the pal said. “He tips them off. He loves the attention. Jen didn’t want to believe it was happening, but it was, and she has no tolerance for that.”
That’s not it. Another friend claims that John was cheap when he was with Jen and took advantage of her. “Jen was tired of paying for everything. Cobwebs come flying out of [Mayer’s] wallet when he opens it,” another source said. “John liked living like a movie star when he was with her. … Jen would never say anything, but you could tell it irritated her.”
I think this is proof enough that Mayer’s press hungry:
“We’re talking about a guy who had a car waiting to take him home in New York, but he chose to walk so he could talk to the press [along the way],” the source continued. “He’ll drag this out until there’s someone new.”
I don’t know if I’d exactly call her sexy, but that’s apparently what the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party thinks of Girlfriend singer Avril Lavigne.
Lavigne is supposed to play a show on August 29 in Malaysia’s capitol of Kuala Lumpur, but Malaysia’s Islamic opposition party is trying to get it canceled because Avril promotes the wrong values.
“It is considered too sexy for us. It’s not good for viewers in Malaysia,” a party official told press. “We don’t want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models.”
New mother of twins Jennifer Lopez has started the ambitious goal of competing in her first triathlon!
Lopez is on the cover of September’s Self magazine and is also blogging on their website about how she plans to raise money for the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles by participating in the triathlon.
“The babies have actually made me more ambitious,” Lopez told Self. “I feel all this newfound inspiration.”
Good for her!
“I’ve always loved sports. I used to be on a track team in school. And that’s probably why I can think to myself now, ‘Yeah, I can do this,’ which is totally crazy! The team was a big part of my life back then and taught me so many things,” Lopez blogged. “When I look back on my life and what I’m able to do, it’s partly because of that early training. It taught me discipline, how to be committed, about striving to win, stamina, all that good stuff.”
Lopez doesn’t have unrealistic goals about the race either. “I don’t expect to win this race; my goal is to finish,” she said. “I’ll probably end up crawling across the finish line, but I’ll do it!”
That’s all that matters…finishing the race. Best of luck Jennifer!
Scarlett Johansson. The rapper put up a post on his site yesterday and all it said was, “My Favorite White Girl!!!!!!” and included a ton of pics of the actress.
