Brangelina Goes AWOL on Thanksgiving

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did their thing on Thanksgiving.
What that was, we have absolutely no idea, but it appears their kinds hung out on the beach for the holiday Angelina loathes, parents nowhere in sight.
Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Knox and Vivienne were all spotted at the beach, accompanied by their nannies on Thanksgiving. No sign of Ange or of Brad Pitt.

REWRITING HISTORY: Brangelina will have none of it.

Pitt did comment earlier that the family would be overseas, but did not mention specific plans. Likely because Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving.
“Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like many other Americans,” a source said of her perception of the day.
“To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn’t her style at all."
Apparently she put her money where her mouth is, at least.

Kate Gosselin Wastes Money on Tanning

What do you do when your diva-like ways are running your family into fiscal despair? If you're Kate Gosselin, you go get your tan on in Reading, Pa.
The mother of eight was seen exiting a local tanning salon, where she channeled her inner Snooki, before heading over to do "business" at a FedEx.
Here's Kate looking lean and sort of tan ...

BRIGHTER DAYS: Kate Gosselin has seen them.

We're not criticizing the tanning industry overall, but it seems like a waste of money when you've got eight mouths to feed and limited income, no?
Seriously, the children eat moldy food so you can do this!?!?
Kate, who recently admitted that her kids are under pressure lately, yet shows no apparent inclination to do anything about that, spent Thanksgiving day with the enormous brood before handing them off to their deadbeat dad.

Lindsay Lohan is Smoking Hot!

Lindsay Lohan looked smoking hot (or at least smoking while looking semi-hot) as she checked into an alcohol counseling meeting Sunday in Palm Springs, Calif.
Looking fresh-faced and more glamorous than we've seen in months, the rehabbing actress wore a cardigan and t-shirt with dark jeans and knee high boots.
Seriously, if you can get past the cancer stick, she looks great!

SMOKIN': Lindsay Lohan certainly is ... if only literally.

Whether she's relaxing over coffee, attending AA meetings or spending the holidays with previously estranged family members, she's doing so much better lately.
Can she revive her career? That's uncertain. But here are some recent Lindsay Lohan pictures showing just how far she's come. Take a look below, then tell us ...

Kardashian Konfidential Konfessions: Khloe's Virginity, Kim's Krush and More!

Kritics of Kardashian Konfidential have understandably wondered:
What could Kourtney, Khloe and Kim possibly reveal in this "sisterhood autobiography?" The siblings blog about every aspect of their lives and let cameras film such intimate moments as a bikini wax.
But we've (unfortunately) read the book and can state that it actually does contain a few juicy tidbits. Why should the public care about when Khloe lost her virginity? We have no idea. Still, it's one of several items we learned from the tome and report on below.

1. Khloe gave it up to an older man when she was 14. She used to steal Bruce Jenner's car and drive to secret sex sessions with this boyfriend, but tells readers NOT to be like her: "You should never, ever have sex when you're that young," her ghost writer she writes. "Feeling rushed and pressured and unsure should have been my clue that I wasn't ready to take that step."

2. Kourtney needs to be perfect. At least when it comes to organization. She writes about needing everything in her fridge lined up in a certain away; same for glasses and dishes. She also "has to have" pink dish gloves and the same style of hangars throughout the house.

3. Kim has a woman crush on Jennifer Lopez. She describes her first, nervous meeting with the singer/actress and how J. Lo "made me think it was sexy to have a big booty." Looks like someone will be watching American Idol this season.

4. Kim encourages you to talk to her. Saying she gets "excited" to see fans dressed in her style, this sister adds: "I like being myself, I don't want to be unapproachable."

This is especially true if you're famous and/or a professional athlete.

Oksana Grigorieva to Mel Gibson: U Still Love Me!

For a woman claiming she feared for her life, Oksana Grigorieva sure wrote some interesting things to Mel Gibson. Interesting emails, to be more precise.
In the months following their nuclear argument on January 6, she sounds very much like a woman scorned and not ... well, a woman fearing for her life.
The emails are significant for this reason. In them, Oksana appears in search of answers, if not in hot pursuit of Mel Gibson. Hardly fearful or threatened.

If Oksana feared Mel, she had a funny way of showing it.

Oksana, on March 30: "I don't belive (sic) that u stopped loving me just in one phonecall. U either stopped loving me a long time ago or u still love me."
Oksana, on May 2: "Until this morning I was still missing you so much and secretly wanted and hoped for us to be together again ... I still believed that you loved me."
"Now I dont. I think you knew what was going on."
"Love like that doesn't die so quickly."
Oksana, who needs to work on spelling, accuses Mel's estranged wife, Robyn Gibson, and daughter, Hanna, of turning Mel against her, writing, "... it's easier to blame the outsider, ur love, completely unpretected (sic). So u betray me."
In the May 2 email, Oksana Grigorieva says: "I see now, that you seemply (sic) growen (sic) tired of me a while ago, but you were too weak to tell me."
Her lawyers say she taped Mel Gibson on the phone February 18 because she feared for her life. Maybe so, but she certainly doesn't seem scared here.
