With Simon Pegg as Sidney (Toby) Young and Jeff Bridges as Clayton (Graydon) Carter, How to Lose Alienate People will bring to life the author's mildly fictionalized account of working as the Vanity Fair editor's assistant in the Big Apple. Herewith, the movie's trailer, which is worth watching if only because Kirsten Dunst appears in it, and you do not immediately want to hit her.

Bobby Brown's crazy life story claims continue in earnest as he plugs, plugs, plugs away at promoting his autobiography. Already, he accused ex-wife Whitney Houston of introducing him to drugs – "I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice." – but now he's gone even further off the unbelievable deep end: He claims he died three times and required resuscitation. Okay, fine, that's not too much a stretch.

Contrary to likely popular belief, this is actually news and not an event that took place five months ago. Pop star turned crack-den-dweller Whitney Houston filed for "separation" from husband of 14 years, Bobby Brown.

Access Hollywood has learned from a source close to Whitney Houston that the star has filed for a legal separation from her long-time husband Bobby Brown. The source says legal documents were filed Friday and that Bobby Brown was served with those documents yesterday. Houston plans to officially file for divorce in October.

So, basically, Bobby decided to let the terrorists win.

The photos document Whitney's bathroom, which she locked herself in for days while binging out on major narcs.

Amid the trash, leftover food and empty beer cans are the tools of the hardcore drug fiend — pipes, rolling papers, spoons in which powdered cocaine is cooked into crack, lighters.
