The Dishing Diva

A 19-year-old hacker who published provocative pictures of Miley Cyrus several months ago (one of them was this one here) was raided by the FBI Monday morning in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

The hacker, Josh Holly, had been bragging online about breaking into her e-mail account and stealing her photos. He also gave interviews to bloggers and others about how the authorities would never find him because he moved around so much.

Well … the FBI did find him and, after speaking with him for over an hour about his stunts, served him with a search warrant and a list of items to be seized (which was posted at the hacking site digitalgangster.com after Holly showed it to a friend).

After conducting an extensive search, they left with three computers and Holly’s phone. Some hours after the raid, Holly phoned Threat Level from his sister’s phone to report what had happened to him.

He hasn’t been arrested or charged with a crime yet.

Princess Paris was all decked out in London filming her new BFF show. Do you love the look? Simple enough, a long-sleeved shirt, royal sash, complimented with an Alexander McQueen skull motif scarf, beret, and shades.

I’ve read a few comments from some who have watched the show for about 10 mins and they thought it was pathetic. Some said they thought she needs Nicole Richie back.

It’s amusing she thinks so highly of herself. I can’t wait to miss it!

Nicole Richie got all dressed up for a business lunch with manager Benny Medina at La Conversation in West Hollywood on Saturday afternoon. She was wearing some jewelry a headpiece, bangles, and a ring from her new collection “House of Harlow 1960.? She must be doing some promo work for it as she was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday talking about it as well. She said the line will be produced by Mouawad and designed by artist Shelley Gibbs who sketched the creations.

I’m not sure that the world needs another “celebrity” fashion/jewelry line but good luck to her. I have to wonder though, who are the people who buy these pieces? I’ve yet to see anyone I know forking out any of their money for any of these celebrity creations. I give Nicole credit for trying to be relevant though!

Nicole also has a cameo on Chuck which will be airing this Monday October 20 @ 8PM ET/PT on NBC. Check it out if you want to catch her in it.

Rihanna took to the stage at the “Justin Timberlake And Friends Concert” at Planet Hollywood on Friday in Las Vegas. She sang Umbrella and Disturbia at the charity show. Some of the other celebrities who lent their time and talent were: The Jonas Brothers, Will.i.am, Adam Levine (of Maroon 5), 50 Cent, Boyz II Men, Esmee Denters (from J.T.’s label), and Leona Lewis.

She is wearing a gold-plated Alanna Bess cuff with black triangle details. I think she looks like a bumble bee, but then her sense of style and fashion is all her own.

The Mirror posted a couple of pictures of Prince William hanging out with “two showgirls.” They call Xtina and Paris Hilton “showgirls.” I just love that term for them!

Princes William and Harry were at London’s Whisky Mint with some friends the other night when Prince William excused himself and went up to Xtina who was sitting with her husband nearby. A witness told the paper that the “two sat very close, swapping numbers and flirting outrageously.”

A little while later, Paris came up to Xtina’s table.

The witness said after a few minutes she and Prince William were exchanging numbers.

Well now… let’s think about this. The British royalty chatting up with American royalty! They were probably talking about politics!

This unflattering picture of Britney leaving a dance studio is all over the internet with everyone seeming to be in a state of disgust with her furry arm pits. Give the diva a break. She probably doesn’t shave her own pits and wasn’t able to get a wax appointment that fit her schedule!

She’s wearing a bra but does she want a medal for letting us all know she is? Some of us do not need to be kept informed of her lack of prompt attention to her personal hygiene routine. She must have forgotten that she isn’t always going to be photo-shopped when out and about on her daily routine.

Here is a sweet little picture just between friends… Justin Gaston spoon-feeding ice cream to Miley Cyrus at Hollywood’s Funkiest Milkshake bar, Millions of Milkshakes, yesterday in West Hollywood.

Lucky girl has her own shake flavor named after her. Miley who is just 15 and Justin, 20, were there with Miley’s new puppy maltipoo Sophie, her friend Lesley, momager Tish, country superstar dad Billy Ray and older sister Brandi.

In other news about Miley…

Miley has announced that she’s just finished her first autobiography, and she’s only 15:

“I’m not sure when it’s going to come out. It’s finished but you’ve got a long process of editing and all that kind of stuff, so it takes a while.”

Can’t wait to see if it makes the best seller list.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and Lindsay obviously sent Madonna the message that she loves her look since she showed up to Madonna’s New York premiere of her latest film with the same hairstyle. Actually, now that I think about it, Britney wore her hair styled the same way at the MTV VMA’S in early September… so does that mean that Madonna and Linds stole her style?!

Forget the hair, it’s interesting that another producer put up lots of money for another Madonna performance. She’s been in many many movies and I still haven’t seen a good one! She has to be one of the few actresses out there with this many movie credits and no hits.

I can’t think of any other diva who has had as many chances to act as Madonna has and has managed to mess up. Her last film, “Swept Away” with her husband Guy Ritchie who directed, seems to have swept away his career and their marriage since he wasn’t at this premiere!

Victoria Beckham was snapped by photographers at LAX on her way to catch a flight to London on Sunday. For being a 34 year old mum of 3, she looks great! What I did notice about her after watching her show is that she also seems to be a genuinely good person. No news reports of her ever doing any excessive drinking, drugs/rehab, going commando or showing her private bits. She doesn’t sleep around with different men. She has been married for over 10 years and seems to take her marriage vows seriously as she and her hubby are still together despite the bad press with regards to him cheating on her awhile back.

She recently told the U.K. edition of Glamour: “I’m not pregnant, and I’m not trying to get pregnant at the moment I’m so lucky to have the boys (Brooklyn, 9; Romeo, 6; and Cruz, 3) and they’re such great kids. Nice, free spirits and incredibly polite, which I think is very important.”

She went on to say:

“It takes a lot of energy, and the thought of having another baby now would be a little bit much. Maybe in a year or two but right now, I’m having amazing career opportunities and I want to enjoy the boys.”

Travis Barker just updated his blog to let his fans in on his recovery from the terrifying plane crash he was in last month that left 4 people dead. In addition to the entry below, he has uploaded some pictures from the hospital so you may want to check it out:

His MySpace reads:

” I want to give my deepest thanks to everyone who has helped deal with the current situation. First and foremost, Chris and Che were my friends. I would give up anything to have them here with us today, healthy and happy. To call them my employees does them such a disservice, as they were so much more than that. Chris was my best friend before anything else, and I can never put into words how much he will be missed. Che was an amazing person as well, and I was honored to have him in my life.

I am simply amazed and will be forever grateful for all the support everyone has shown to Chris and Che’s families.

Its a testament to how many lives they touched in a positive way.

Hospital Life!

Like the doctors said from the beginning, its been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday. Today I finally was able to move all my fingers on my right hand. Every step seems huge at this point, and Im doing EVERYTHING I can possibly do to get back to my kids. Yes, I did start eating meat again, but if it helps me to be home holding my little humans sooner, then its all worth it. The staff here are all bomb! Dr. Grossman and his staff are the best. The BOSS Barbara, and nurses Betty, Jay , Emily, Julio, Lolita, and Stephanie (with the best scrubs ever!) are all taking the best care of me… ”

This part which includes a diss about his ex Shannon was in and then edited out but the line remains on Barker’s actual page:

“Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, I’ve been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and an Georgia. The hospitals I’ve been treated at are THE BEST.”
