Mother's Day is Sunday

Nicole Richie is no Britney Spears. Thank God, I don't think we could deal with two of them.

The former addict and Paris Hilton's partner in crime poses in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar with her daughter Harlow. Joel Madden also joins his baby momma and daughter in some pics.

Now that Paris has hooked up with Harlow's daddy's brother, Benji, it is only a matter of time before she has a little one herself. Look for the two in the Simple Life 2028!

Life in the fast lane

I just can't stop. Not that I want to, but if I did I would not be able to. Living on the run is the normal life for any 20-something. With so many decisions at the push of a button, how can a person settle for more than a second on one thing?

Did I stop? Find out here!

To tell you the truth

My feet are really sore today after hanging around the film set of "This Side of the Truth." I know it's hard work.

The cast and crew took over Cobblestones in downtown Lowell. The restaurant was transformed for a date scene and owner Scott Plath is planning on keeping some of the props. Drop by and peek in the dining room to get a little taste of Hollywood.

Jennifer Garner was there, perched behind the front desk getting her makeup touched up. She smiled as I gawked and stared at her.

Later in the day, the shooting moved outside. That's where I got to steal Ricky Gervais away for a few minutes to talk about his movie.

We'll have more updates throughout the day from the set.

From the set

Actress Jennifer Garner met Ricky Gervais at La Boniche in downtown Lowell for a lunch date today. No need to call Us Weekly, Garner was not secretly meeting with the Brit comedian behind her hubby Ben Affleck’s back.

Jen is in town to play the love interest of Gervais in his new movie This Side of the Truth. The French bistro was taken over by the stars and crew for the day in what is called a “key scene.”

In between takes Garner joked with the extras who were seated at tables scattered about the restaurant asking if they were getting bored yet.

Crew were also in the main dining room of Cobblestones around the corner all day today setting it up for tomorrow's takes. Garner and Gervais will film another date scene and the eatery will remain closed on Tuesday.

Seeing Stars this Monday

It's Mrs. Mariah Carey to you

Mimi is no longer emancipated.

According to several published reports, Mariah Carey, 38, married Nick Cannon, 27, on Wednesday.

The couple has remained quiet about their relationship. A couple of weeks ago, Mariah started sporting a huge rock on her ring finger that resembles the diamond Nick gave his last fiance Victoria Secret model Selita Ebanks.

Any bets on how long this will last? I give them four and a half months.

Party All The Time

Every week I find myself invited to yet another party I do not want to attend. There are worse things I can complain about than having a packed social calendar. I figure, no one wants to be reminded about gas prices, housing costs, war and a slumping economy. I am taking the high road by sharing my salacious tales with the working class heroes of Greater Lowell.

By the way, you're welcome.

Read the rest here!

The Fight Continues

box_g_ward_300.jpg
Billerica native Keith Dorrington was on "Chronicle" Tuesday night talking optimistically about the movie "The Fighter." The Micky Ward biopic has been all talk, no show for a couple of years. Now, Dorrington says that the flick is a go and Paramount Pictures is on board.

The movie is about the rise of the scrappy boxer from Lowell’s Acre neighborhood and the relationship between Ward and his brother Dick Eklund, who once got in the ring with Sugar Ray Leonard before struggling with addiction.

Ward stepped into the ring for three fights against Arturo Gatti that have gone down as one of the greatest boxing matches ever.

Hollywood heavy weights, Mark Wahlberg and Brad Pitt are rumored to be casts to play the boxing brothers. Wahlberg appeared on "Live with Regis and Kelly" last fall and told the hosts he was training to play Ward in the film. After the writer’s strike there has been no buzz about "The Fighter" until now.

The movie industry encyclopedia, imdb.com lists Dorrington as the executive producer of "The Fighter."
