Laurence Fishburne's Daughter Releases Sex Tape Because of 'How Successful Kim Kardashian Became'
Montana Fishburne says her forthcoming sex tape is a calculated career choice. Foxy Brown flees the police after a massive brawl. Lindsay Lohan has no pillow. Robert Pattinson is a nail biter. TGIFriday gossip. Updated with Montana's DVD cover.
- Laurence Fishburne's daughter has a hardcore sex tape scheduled for release in August, and apparently she isn't bothering to pretend it's an accidental leak: "I've watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape," 19-year-old Montana Fishburne said. So teen girls actually dream of growing up to be sex tape stars, now? I thought that was an urban legend among worried moms. Mostly, though, I'm curious whether Laurence has weighed in on this decision. His booming voice must be terrifying in angry dad mode. Also, is Montana the first "leaked" sex tape star to openly admit to leaking it herself? If so, she might have just broken the fourth wall of starlet porn. [TMZ, image via Getty]
- Speaking of graphic sex images, the ones this guy said were of Lady Gaga getting railed? "NOT Lady Gaga," says her publicist. Quit with the fake sex pics, people. We only want to see grainy cellphone cam images of private parts when they belong to real celebrities, OK? [Radar]
- The View cast-off Rosie O'Donnell thinks President Obama's appearance on her old show was a mistake. "Maybe an hour on Oprah" would have been better, she speculated. [Us]
- Dina Lohan says her daughter is not getting special treatment in jail: "She doesn't even have a pillow to sleep on," Dina laments. "I talk to her through glass. There's a phone and we put her on speaker but I can't even hug my daughter. She's treated like a common criminal." In fact, she is a very famous, highly unique criminal with pretty hair and Twitter endorsements. "I'm so proud of Lindsay, she's been so strong and positive, even under what I consider to be an extremely harsh punishment." You'd think the Lohan family's collective incarceration rate would be a reality check for this lady's martyr complex, but apparently not. According to Dina, "the people inside have been pretty cool" to Lindsay. [Radar]
- The "smoking gun" in the Mel Gibson-Oksana Grigorieva abuse case has emerged, but I'd like to point out that "smoking gun" is sort of a scary phrase when it's about a guy who actually owns a gun, and threatened to kill his wife. Anyway, "third party witnesses" have apparently emerged to testify to Mel punching Oksana. Maids, maybe? The placenta-burying gardener? At least one is "someone who works with Oksana on her music," and Oksana's 12-year-old son Alexander (the one Mel ridiculed in his rants) was hiding under the bed during one of their arguments, and has already given police testimony. Also, Oksana apparently "wrote a secret email" to her lawyer "just hours after" Mel beat her. [TMZ, Radar]
- George Clooney's party girl lover Elisabetta Canalis is "distraught" at being tied to Italy's tabloid scandal of the year, the break-up of a high-end cocaine-and-hooker ring that allegedly provided her with drugs, too. [E!]
- Real Housewife of New Jersey Danielle Staub on Real Housewife of Atlanta Kim Zolciak's rumored lesbian lover: "Publicity stunt." Danielle once unveiled a book that calls her a coke whore at a family dinner, so she knows a thing or two about stunts. [Radar]
- "Artificial insemination is not for me," Jennifer Aniston told Jay Leno when he asked her whether she'd do it. Her next movie is about an old lady with withered ovaries who uses a sperm donor, so you have to admit, Jen is sort of setting herself up for these nosy questions. [ShowBizSpy]
- Robert Pattinson is a nail biter. [ShowBizSpy]
- Jennifer Love Hewitt is "so into" her new love interest, a 27-year-old actor/director who looks like a younger version of her last boyfriend. [Us]
- Remember when Cristiano Ronaldo and model girlriend Irina Shayk were photographed frolicking at members-only club Soho House, to the great delight of social-climbing Manhattanites therein? The person who took and sold pics to the paparazzi was a member, and has since been kicked out. "It really upsets the club." Let the witchhunt for Soho House's Benedict Arnold begin! I hope it's this guy. [P6]
- Foxy Brown got into yet another brawl, in the lobby of a high-rise on 43rd Street. It apparently took 10 people to break up the fight, and someone called the cops—but by the time they arrived, Foxy had already disappeared into the dark night. In an alternate universe, Foxy is a superhero vigilante, instead of a mere misbehaving musician. [TMZ]
- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie recently complained that Jersey Shore was giving his state a bad name, so Jersey Shore star Angelina Pivarnick went to office to try to get a fist bump. A staffer invited her in and she made a video. Christie is totally firing that staffer, as we speak. [P6]
- Diane von Furstenberg has a Gossip Girl cameo coming up. She now rivals Isaac Mizrahi as Most Ubiquitous Designer on TV. She is, however, far more likable than ol' Titty-Squeeze Mizrahi. [Vulture]
- Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper joined a new fitness club. Something about seeing a happy young couple exercising their perfect little bodies in healthy bliss together always makes me hungry for a Big Mac. [P6]
