Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are really doing the whining rounds lately.

The latest to come out of Pitt’s mouth is his bitching about having to do all this extra work promoting his films that he is paid handsomely to appear in.

Pitt claims he is over the fame machine.

“This publicity machine is out of control. It’s everything we didn’t sign up for,” he says on the press tours that come with releasing a film. “There’s this whole other entity that you get sucked into. You have to go and sell your wares.”

Funny how the same guy doesn’t mind hocking photos of his kids to all the magazines then isn’t it.

And tell all the people presently out of a job how hard you have it, having to do all this extra work for your films.

How low will she go for a buck? That is the question you would have to ask about Madonna after this story from TMZ.

All the stories we have been posting about Madonna’s marriage being on the rocks are looking spot on, but never one to let a chance go by, Madonna is trying to use the publicity to boost her world tour as well as make a wad of cash.

Sources claim that the marriage has been over for months, but just because her marriage has broken down, does not mean that Madonna has lost her nose for business, with a well planned series of leaks to fuel the breakup rumors in an attempt to boost sales for her world tour.

With the tour expected to make $300 million, even Guy has agreed to the plan in order to get a bigger cut of the pie.

As reported here, they are expected to announce their divorce in November or December at the conclusion of the tour.

So she has thought out the entire plan for making even more money, but no mention of the effect this will have on her kids.

Classy!

This is a surprise… not!

A source claims that the relationship between George Clooney and Sarah Larson was little more than a publicity stunt, with the Ocean’s 13 star allowing his young beau to “do interviews and some modeling” in order to “get her a career” before the big split.

During the very publicised affair, Larson also managed to buy herself a set of silicon breasts, and is now looking at posing topless in Playboy to show them off. And it’s all thanks to Georgie-Boy!

The source also claims that during his relationship with Larson, Clooney was also “secretly dating” a woman in her mid-30’s — someone he’s allegedly still dating.

A rep for Clooney has denied the rumour, stating from the actor’s vacation house in Lake Como: “How does one as public as George secretly date anyone?”

How indeed?

Is Lindsay Lohan about to marry her gal pal Samantha Ronson? Well, that is the news coming out of the Daily Star, which reports that Lindsay has told ex inseminator Calum Best that she is already engaged to Ronson.

Appearing at the Dolce & Gabbana party in Cannes, Lindsay was sporting a large ring on her finger and claiming it was the real deal and not just another one of her attempts to gain attention.

Lindsay has reportedly told friends she prefer being with a woman and to prove it, she wants to arrange a partnership ceremony on her 22nd birthday in July at Dollywood, Dolly Parton’s theme park.

Smells a lot like attention seeking to me and if so, she needs to be careful, or she could end up on a fast track to Britneyville

Paris Hilton may not have a child yet with her Good Charlotte rocker beau, Benji Madden, but that doesn’t mean she wants to miss out on a wedding when good pal Nicole Richie and Joel Madden walk down the isle.

According to a source, the Hiltonite is desperate to have a lavish double wedding with the Madden brothers and Richie, but not because it would be super duper cute and cheesy, or because she loves the trio so much. No, Paris has a different reason for suggesting the double extravaganza… and it involves money… lots and lots of money!

Ms. Hilton’s only interested in marrying her rock n’ roll partner (who she’s not even engaged to yet), as she thinks she’ll be able to make a few bucks out of the ceremony. The source revealed that Paris is hoping to sell her wedding album to the highest bidder, thus adding to her multi-million dollar bank account.

“Hilton said she wants to [marry Benji] in order to sell the pictures from the wedding and thinks she could rake in millions,” the source said.

“She’s doing it all for attention, as usual. It’s a publicity stunt, just like everything else.”

Another publicity stunt for the Parisite? Geeze, who woulda thunk it??
