We Reveal 'The Curious World' Of Celebrity Drug Users So You So You Don't Have To Buy The Book
A new book claiming to unveil "fun, fascinating facts" about celebrities and their drug habits may just be a collection of ancient quotes and anecdotes. As the NY Post reports today, The Curious World Of Drugs And Their Friends promises sordid tales involving Lindsay Lohan and details from her substance-fueled evenings before cokepants and trees put them on the back burner, but the story they cite from a "friend" sounds eerily familiar to one of our favorite classic Lohanisms from over a year ago. And the celebrities quoted as being "unable to talk to anyone without a nose full of cocaine," and having "spent the first 35 years of my life in a fog" due to drugs have either kicked their habits long ago or already (endlessly) confirmed to the world that they were once big league nose candy fans. The stars "featured," and exactly how dusty these quips are, after the jump. More »

Party Roundup: It Was No 'VF' Extravaganza, But Elton John Knows How To Throw A Party
Even though Hollywood's A-List was deprived of a chance to eat and drink on Vanity Fair's dime last night, two fiestas proved that celebrities will not let a little thing like tradition get in the way of a night of free booze and swag. Elton John's Annual AIDS Foundation Oscar Party usually has a strong turnout of power players, but the star wattage at the 16th incarnation of the bash last night was a few standard deviations past the norm, thanks mainly to the absence of Graydon Carter's soiree. Highlights included Tilda Swinton kissing her Oscar in some sort of Buddhist mating ritual, as well as the public debut of Hollywood's newest power couple, Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova. We've got pictures after the jump. More » -

Elton John Set To Crush Vanity Fair With This Year's Oscar Party
With only five party-planning days left 'til Hollywood Christmas, there is still so very much to be done to ensure the ensuing after-parties are sufficiently grossly overdone and insensitive to much of everything else going on in the world. To the rescue comes Oscar fete-giver non-pareil Elton John, who will be throwing out every stop short of a solid Godiva climbing-wall erupting in nougat on the half-hour to siphon A-list guests away from his arch Oscar party rival, the Vanity Fair shindig: More » -

Short Ends: Rent Blows, Borat Speaks, Spielberg Passes
· Our favorite review of the week, courtesy of the LAT's Carina Chocano: "Rent is commodified faux bohemia on a platter, eliciting the same kind of numbing soul-sadness as children's beauty pageants, tiny dogs in expensive boots, Mahatma Gandhi in Apple ads. It's about art, activism and counterculture in the same way that a poster of a kitten hanging from a tree branch ("Hang in There!") is about commitment and heroic perseverance." More »
