It seems that Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton aren’t the only Hollywood celebrities to have driving run-ins with the police - yesterday Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt got a little visit from “Johnny Law.”
The “Hills” co-star couple was on their way out to a romantic dinner date when they were pulled over for not displaying their license plates, subsequently receiving a ticket.
After stepping out for charity the previous evening, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were all about celebrating themselves at Cut restaurant in Beverly Hills on Friday (September 19).
The reality co-star couple unveiled their very own self-portraits - as they had their pictures taken by famed photographer Martin Scholler to join his other portraits on the wall, including those of George Clooney and Jack Nicholson.
They’ve been seen all over New York City recently, but as of last night, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are back home on the West Coast.
The peroxide pair was spotted enjoying a high-end dining experience at Wolfgang Puck’s “Cut” restaurant at the famous Beverly Wilshire hotel.
If he does, the campaign will be the last to know. Also, his staffers are giving up their paychecks.[LA Times]
Clearly trying out a new hairdo for the holidays, Tobey Maguire was spotted leaving his dinner at Mr. Chow restaurant last night in Los Angeles, California.
While the coif is questionable, he looked otherwise normal, in a pair of jeans and a v-neck sweater as he made his way to his car.
Poor Maeve McGilloway! On her first visit back home after spending three weeks at college, the Middlebury freshman made a horrifying discovery.
The room where she'd spent the first 18 years of her life was unrecognizable. Her 'N Sync poster was gone. So was the collage of her high school friends. What she found instead was the new guest room, a "Martha Stewart bed and breakfast," as her mother described it. The walls had been repainted, the carpet had been changed and the happy clutter of her childhood had been replaced by about 40 bone china butter dishes that her mother had purchased on eBay and mounted on the wall. "The first question I asked was, who lives here?" Maeve McGilloway said, "and she said, 'You do,' and pointed to this really little vintage Middlebury postcard on the wall, like this little Middlebury postcard was supposed to represent me."
In this fashion the Times explores the psychological devastation that occurs when parents redecorate the rooms of their recently departed children. It's hard not to feel pity for these tragic young people, who return from a semester full of date rape and body shots only to find that mom and dad have broken down the bedroom wall and converted their once sacred space into an S&M dungeon complete with wrist restraints and a fuckswing.
The problem is so widespread that "[p]arents of Kenyon freshmen are warned at an orientation seminar against stopping at Ikea on the way home. 'Honor that space at least through Christmas break, and then make some decisions as a family,' said Alicia Dugas, Kenyon's assistant dean of students."
The piece is full of loathsome behavior (we're particularly fond of the 23-year-old assistant editor on "Lost," who has his own apartment but won't let his parents change his bedroom in their house), but don't fear for this entire generation of cast-off children: Some are learning to show pluck and independence.
Maeve McGilloway engaged in the domestic equivalent of civil disobedience after she saw the changes her mother had wrought in her bedroom. "There's an upstairs study with an old couch," she said. "I slept there four nights in protest."Also, she left all her stuff at Middlebury this semester. That'll show them!
