Anne Heche's Husband Hates her Crazy Ass
Someone read Anne Heche's autobiography, Call Me Crazy, cover to cover.
Earlier this month, Heche's estranged hubby, Coley Laffoon, filed court papers in which he expresses doubt as to whether she is "psychologically capable" of caring for their five-year-old son Homer and requests joint legal and primary physical custody of the boy, plus $33,000 a month in child support and no less than $15,000 in attorney fees.
Detailing myriad ways in which he has been the primary caregiver since Homer was born, Laffoon, 33, questions Heche's ability to parent in the face of her "bizarre and delusional behavior" and asks that a psych evaluation "be commenced immediately."
In documents filed May 2 in Los Angeles Superior Court and released Thursday, Laffoon cites an incident last September in which he and Homer were staying in Vancouver and Heche, 37, who was on her way back from New York and was supposed to change planes in Los Angeles, called him at about 11:30 p.m. sounding confused and said that she "didn't know where she was and that she needed help."
Because he was in Canada, Laffoon called Heche's L.A. publicist and asked if she could go look for her. The publicist wasn't able to find her, Laffoon states, but the next day Heche returned to Vancouver and acted as if nothing had happened.

Britney Spears to Record Duet with Marilyn Monroe
Britney Spears is set to sing a duet with the late Marilyn Monroe.
The troubled star plans to boost her ailing career by performing with the movie icon - who died more than four decades ago - on a previously unreleased Marilyn song called 'Down Boy'.
Lance Bass, 28, a former member of Britney's ex-lover Justin Timberlake's band *NSYNC, has reportedly secured the rights to the song and thinks it would be perfect for Britney.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Lance wants Britney to sing with Marilyn on the track, like Natalie Cole did on 'Unforgettable' with her dad Nat King Cole."
Plans are already in place for the 'Toxic' singer to don a platinum Marilyn-esque wig and dress like the glamour icon, when they shoot the video.
Screen and music goddess Marilyn died of an overdose aged 36 in 1962. Despite being one of the most successful women of her generation, the star was believed to have battled numerous personal demons.
Ricki Lake Looks Incredible!
Once weighing 250 pounds, newly transformed former talk show host Ricki Lake has revealed exclusively to Us Weekly the secrets behind her 123-pound, size-4 shape.
Lake, 38, who just debuted The Business of Being Born, her documentary about home birth and midwifery, sits down with Us and explains exactly how she got thin – and finally made peace with her shape after a painful past.
On crash dieting in 1991:
“… I went on this extreme diet. I used to faint because I wasn’t eating and I was always exercising.”
On the most exciting thing about her new weight:
“For the longest time, when I was very heavy, I couldn’t cross my legs. I couldn’t physically do it. LOVE that I can cross my legs now ... Even my shoe size is changing. My Jimmy Choos are too big now.”
On what she thinks of super-skinny actresses:
“I think I have no wrinkles because I always had fat on my face. Really skinny girls age so fast.”
Jennifer Aniston & Laura Dern vs. Angelina Jolie
Now, I love Angelina Jolie, but you have to admit that she DOES have kind of a poor track record as far as men are concerned. Here’s an interesting article about Jennifer Aniston and Laura Dern hooking up to diss on old Angie:
Is Angelina Jolie really a home wrecker? It all depends on who you ask. Of course she did nab Billy Bob Thornton while his gal Laura Dern was off working on a movie and she began snuggling up with Jennifer Aniston hubby Brad Pitt while working on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. So when Jennifer and Laura get together - what do they talk about? According to Star Magazine it’s all about Angelina.
A report set for this week’s issue notes that new best friends Jennifer Aniston and Laura Dern have plenty to talk about Jolie! The leading ladies have each lost a man – Brad Pitt and Billy Bob Thornton – to seductive siren Angie.
And a source tells Star they’re now indulging in juicy gossip sessions about her! Hey - why should they be any different? “They’re looking for a project to do together and discussing scripts but they also love to dish about Angie,” says the source to the weekly entertainment magazine. Jennifer and Laura have been hanging out a lot since February when they hooked up with fellow gal-pal Sheryl Crow at Laura’s birthday at Nobu in Malibu.
“They talked about how skinny and gaunt Angie looks, and about all the kids she’s adopting and how strange she is. They also say she’s bitchy. Jen told Laura she’ll never forget the time she met Angelina on the Warner Bros. lot, right before Angelina started work on Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and how cold she was to her.”
The girls have moved on the source reveals, “They say it’s probably good that Angie took their men because of the way they turned out. Jen and Laura are both happy now.
And the friend reveals, “Laura told Jen that Billy Bob actually did her a favor by leaving her for Angelina.” Laura and hubby Ben have two kids Ellery, 5, and Jaya, 2. Jen looks at her ex’s life with his 4 kids and is grateful for her own freedom. Jen’s friends say, “She’s getting her career back on track, and she looks fantastic; the best revenge is that she’s happy.”
Brad & Angelina in Threesome????
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get their fair share of speculation on their love life. It is mostly fair game as when they met on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, sparks flew and so did the rumors. It didn't help that both Brad and Angelina continued to deny everything until they showed up in Louisville, Kentucky together. But the latest blind item that grew to a threesome is a bit much. In Touch reveals in this week's issue how it at times gets a bit out of control.
The magazine reports in its cover story this week that when a wild gossip item ran in the April 5 New York Daily News asking, “Which megastar couple, whose torrid fling was first flagged in this column, consummated their acquaintance with a ménage a trios?” many wondered if it could be Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
From there, rumors began to circulate all the way from New York to Los Angeles, the magazine reports in a story in this week's issue. It just kept growing.
The report claims that during a party on April 10 at New York’s Indochine restaurant for photographer Patrik Andersson, a guest was overheard claiming that Brad, 43, and Angie,31, were having an affair with 23-year-old supermodel Karolina Kurkova. Even for Angelina - who’s had affairs with women before and once boasted that she had two lovers at the same time - it was the steamiest rumor yet. But the gossip didn’t stop there.
Another insider dished that Karolina was overheard at a recent fashion fitting talking about her relationship with the couple. The insider says, “She was giddy, acting like a schoolgirl.”
As much as it sounds like a late night Cinemax movie that everyone would like to see, it is very, very likely not true. There’s no proof that the trio have ever been together at the same time. That's a pretty big key for a threesome. And Karolina, who lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend of four years, Alessandro, tells In Touch, “I have never met them.” But don't be surprised to see it more. Brad and Angie are in Prague and guess where the supermodel is from - the Czech Republic.
Cue the rep: Brad’s rep insists it’s all just gossip.
Interview w/ Crybaby Brittany from ANTM
TVGuide.com: In the interest of your mental health, I promise I'm going to try not to make you cry once during this interview.
Brittany Hatch: [Laughs] I really don't cry that much! It looks that way, though, doesn't it?
TVGuide.com: How do I put this? Yes. Yes, it does.
Brittany: That environment is sort of made to make you stress out, and everyone handles their stress differently. There's a week's worth of footage per episode, and when you cut it down to five or 10 minutes per girl, you can make anybody look the way you want to. Everybody has their breakdowns and their bitch fits.
TVGuide.com: Are you saying that you had a Renee moment or two?
Brittany: [Laughs] Probably. I think we all did.
TVGuide.com: I really thought you were going to go the distance. You never took a bad picture.
Brittany: Thank you! But I was pretty sure that I was going to go home before the final three when I did consistently well. I hadn't watched the show before, but I heard from a lot of the girls that there is always the girl who does consistently well but only gets to the final five or six before being sent home. Tyra doesn't want a model, she wants to make a model. That's what the show is about. So the girls who start off strong and are just consistently strong, that's not what she's chasing. She wants to build you into something and create her little Tyra protégé.
TVGuide.com: You had no journey. You were too good!
Brittany: I didn't say that!
TVGuide.com: Mm-hmm. So someone like Dionne, who basically has to be positioned like a Barbie, would ironically have the advantage?
Brittany: Right.
TVGuide.com: If it were simply a modeling competition, do you think she should have gone home before you?
Brittany: Absolutely not. The fact that I didn't book a job [after the go-see competition] meant that I deserved to be sent home.
TVGuide.com: Yeah, that had to hurt a little.
Brittany: A little. But I think at that point, after the [difficulties I had with the CoverGirl commercial], I was so sort of petrified of doing something wrong that I curled up into a little shell and just didn't let myself be me or do anything right. Or anything at all, for that matter!
TVGuide.com: Which is a shame, because you actually have quite a nice personality.
Brittany: I think I have a very friendly and outgoing personality. I mean, I tend bar, so my job is to sort of be everyone's best friend and talk to everyone and have a good time with them. But the show brought out a different side of me that I don't think I even knew existed. I didn't know how to handle it at the time.
TVGuide.com: Which side was that?
Brittany: The very emotional, stressed Brittany! My friends watched and said, "I've never seen you get stressed about anything in your life! What the hell?!" It was kind of entertaining, though.
TVGuide.com: Maybe it was not being able to be in a bar and have the occasional beer over the course of any given week that did it to you.
Brittany: I don't know if it was that, or [if it was] that... you do get a little bit emotional when you have a camera in your face and a director asking you 15 times, "What's wrong?" I'm sure anyone knows that when someone asks, "What's wrong?" and you say "Nothing," and they say, "No, really, what's wrong?" that's the trigger.
TVGuide.com: Hell, just being asked over and over again would make me cry!
Brittany: Exactly! Once you get to a certain point, you just wanna say, "Fine, I'll let you know.... But look, then you've got to leave me alone!"
TVGuide.com: Or at least give you a tissue! I thought it was interesting that Dionne made a point of saying that you remembered all of your lines during the acting challenge but made your short-term memory an issue during the commercial challenge.
Brittany: That really was a very ignorant statement from someone who has obviously never known anyone with a brain trauma or anything like that and does not understand the difference between short-term and long-term memory. [Brittany has maintained that her short-term memory was scrambled when she was run down by a car.] We had two hours to memorize the script for the acting challenge, and I was able to do that, because it was then committed to long-term memory. When handed cue cards, short-term memory is a two- to five-second window in which you look at something and then you regurgitate it and forget about it. Without having short-term memory, I can't look at something and regurgitate it, because I don't remember it. I would look at the cue cards and then turn to the camera and have no idea what the cue card just said.
TVGuide.com: Snap! When did it occur to you that throwing a hissy fit on the modeling agency's doorstep may not have been the greatest idea?
Brittany: Obviously, in the heat of the moment, it didn't occur to me that it might not be the greatest idea. But afterwards, as soon as I heard from Renee that Priscilla [Leighton Clark of Priscilla's Modeling Management] could hear me... when we walked into the elimination room, I did apologize to her for my behavior and said that it was completely out of line. Of course, they didn't show that part. They show what they like, and that's fine. It's what I signed up for.
TVGuide.com: It had to make you nauseous seeing Priscilla on the panel and knowing what was coming.
Brittany: Oh, I definitely was a little nervous and angry with myself. I reacted in a way that was childish and immature and completely unbecoming, and I lost any poise that I may have had and saw mud on my face! But I took it as a learning experience. Better to fall flat on my face then and learn from it than just go on having no idea.
TVGuide.com: I know you're not allowed to book jobs until the show is finished, but have people been calling to inquire about your availability?
Brittany: Nobody knows who I am yet, because they hide our last names until after we get eliminated. But I definitely plan on pursuing modeling, and actually I'm moving to New York this summer. I'm subletting a place with my friend who has an internship at VH1, so we're going to be living up there and I'm going to attempt to pursue modeling. Hopefully, I can do a little better in the real world than I did on the go-sees that are the little microcosm of ANTM.
