new year's has made us more self-indulgent than usual

• So this is kind of a random story, but this girl from our elementary school days added us on Facebook. Reconnecting through technology: awesome. And in her profile she listed Pink Is The New Blog as her website. Turns out, our news year's plans are the same as Trent's.

• Mischa Barton doesn't look that bad in her mug shot.

• Sting's sex life is weird. We blame all that yoga.

• Take it from Giorgio Armani: a fake tan and a white Speedo never go out of style.

• Hayden Panettiere looks mature for her age. Not dating a 30 year-old mature, but mature.

• A lot of celebrities got plastic surgery in 2007. We're predicting a lot more will get plastic surgery in 2008.

John Lyon aka Johnny Rotten has figured out the best way to promote the Sex Pistol reunion tour is to start a rivalry.

On Virgin Radio this week, Lyon went after the Police’s reunion tour:

That really is a reformation isn't it? But honestly that's like soggy old dead carcasses. You know listening to Stink trying to squeak through 'Roxanne' one more time that's not fun.

Strong words from a man whose bassist really is a soggy old dead carcass.

But it’s hard to blame Johnny Rotten for lashing out on the Police. For a rocker his age, the only other way he could get any attention at all is by starring on a VH1 reality TV show.

• Random British exhibitionist Gemma Atkinson's steals Britney's coveted neckbrace look

• Before she was sentenced to 45 days in prison, Paris Hilton was appreciating life's simple pleasures. Like eating corn on the cob with a total stranger.

• Not even Jennifer Boobs Love Hewitt looks hot just moments after stepping off the plane.

• Jumpin' Joe Francis to possibly rejoin his prison boyfriend only moments after saying goodbye.

• Sting and his wife reportedly fired their personal chef…for getting knocked up. The creator of tantra would never approve!

Sting will spend $30 million moving out of his Billy Joel's sloppy 2nd floor seconds to a real apartment. Though, it's right down the street from where he lives now, so the neighbors can hang onto their celeb attractig property value. [NYP]

David Furnish shouldn't be too mad at Pharrell for throwing him out of a club … at least the rapper didn't look at him and say there wasn't enough sausage. [R&M]

• It takes a Swede with a set to accomplish what Americans have tried to do for years — jail Axl Rose. [NME]

• Ok, somewhere between being a former crack dealer and now pretending to hang his enemies, 50 Cent has to have crossed the line of decency already. [HipHopGame]

• Was Kanye West wrong? Does George Bush care about black people. [Jam!]

Natalie Portman

• Making fun of ugly people will always be funny. Especially when Jay Leno does it. [MSNBC]

• Because nobody can afford fun in the East Village anymore, young people are risking their lives in Bushwick — just so they can smoke inside and see a band. [NYT]

Vanity Fair is apparently an authority on fashion these days. Fran Lebowitz? Really? [Page Six]

• “I don’t want to be working for money because then you are no different [from] a prostitute." Natalie Portman on why paying rent is for whores. [The Scoop]

• Imagine that — David Bowie and Sting are opening a burlesque club together. Yeah, ok, we were pretty sure they already had one, too. [NYDN]

Isaac Hayes

• Remember all those Isaac Hayes/South Park jokes from last week? The real reason Hayes quit is because he had a stroke. Awwwwkward. [Page Six]

• Top ten over-hyped bands of the last five years: Arctic Monkeys, The Vines, sure we'll play along. But you lost us at Steven Segal. [Boston]

• The stress of the sex tape is finally getting to Kid Rock. He's started to lash out Pete Doherty style at the innocent paparazzi. [TMZ]

• Are rumors of Sting's tantric loving orgies really that ridiculous? [Page Six]

Britney Spears got two midgets to deliver Kevin Federline his birthday cake. How creepy. [R&M]

Lindsay Lohan

• It's not cheating if you keep your clothes on. At least that's Sting's explanation to wife Trudie Styler, after he spent several hours at the New York Dolls Strip Club with two fully dressed lap dancers.

Chris Botti is not a member of Katie Couric's fan club. The musical ex-boy toy told a friend he was "devastated" by the breakup, and felt Couric used him to make ex-boyfriend Tom Werner jealous. Not that she cares…she's already moved on to landscape painter Stephen Hannock. Oh, and on-air breast exams.

• Proving that parental love (or love of publicity) knows no bounds, Michael Lohan raves over his daughter Lindsay's new single. Maybe he hasn't really listened to the lyrics, where the pop tart trashes him instead of her Benz.

• What's a little boyfriend swapping among starlets? Mary-Kate Olsen castoffs Stavros Niarchos and Jeff Katzenberg are now keeping company with those privileged Hilton sisters, Paris and Nicky.

Martha Stewart might write the most cordial notes, but that doesn't mean she's above putting the pretty brides in the front and the averages in the back.

Madonna isn't in the mood to sing for Queen Elizabeth ("too old fashioned"), but it's probably for the best that its lyrics don't reach royal ears.
