1. Brangelina Baby Sets Off Star Kids' Domain Grab
Any celebrity baby who's anyone these days has got to have an Internet domain.
It's a Hollywood tyke's must-have.
But don't expect www.tom, dick, or harry.com.
Star kids' domains are more like Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow), Kal-el (Nicolas Cage),
Brooklyn (David Beckham and his ex-Spice Girl wife Victoria), Bluebell Madonna
(another former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell), Moxie Crimefighter (Penn Jillette),
Phinnaeus (Julia Roberts), Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee), Suri (Tom & Katie
Cruise) and, of course, Shiloh (the Brangelina offspring).

Following the Namibian birth of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie Pitt, lawyers at the Lavely
& Singer law firm, which represents Angelina, apparently gave to her daughter a
cyber gift of 24 registered domain names along with the extensions ".com,"
".org," ".net," and ".info" (including the "shilohjolie," "shilohpitt," "shilohjoliepitt,"
"shilohnouveljolie," "shilohnouvelpitt" and "shilohnouveljoliepitt" variations).
It appears that the Pitts and their legal counsel have heard about what happened
to fellow thespians Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, whose daughter's name Suri was
registered by some riffraff non-celebrity, who registered "suricruise.com."
The Left Coast Report waits in breathless anticipation of future star kids'
domains ButternutSquash.com, FleetForeman.biz, OliveOil.org, Cracklin'Rosie.net,
and Buttons-n-Bows.info.
2. Celebrity Vampire Madonna
At some point all celebrities grow older, fall out of favor, and no longer make the A-list.
In trying to ward off the inevitable, Madonna looks like she's taking a
different tack. Her response to her own impending descent seems to be to turn
into a vampire of the celebrity kind.
She's not sucking blood, but she is appropriating the life force out of younger
trendier celebs.
First, Madonna became Britney Spears' Svengali, introducing Spears to the
Hollywood Kabbalah faith and convincing her to engage in a same sex TV smooch.
But these days Britney is not as hot as she once was and a new "it" girl seems
to have snagged her spot, at least when it comes to Madonna.
Evidently the material girl has dumped Britney and is poised to suck the
celebrity plasma out of Lindsay Lohan.
Ostensibly the reason that Madonna changed girlfriends is because Britney is no
longer a wholehearted Kabbalah follower.
Lohan, on the other hand, says she's "looking into Kabbalah."
Madonna reportedly now wants to record a duet with Lohan and wants to appear in
a movie with the young starlet.
The Left Coast Report advises Lindsay to slip a cross around her neck and down
some extra hearty shrimp scampi.
3. Paris Hilton's Bombshell Admission
Paris Hilton recently revealed a secret that's so shocking, people may never
look at television the same way again.
Hilton informed the public that "The Simple Life," the TV show in which she
stars, "is a reality show and people might assume it's real. But it's fake. All
reality shows are fake basically. When you have a camera on you, you are not
going to act yourself."
She also claimed that she created the character on her show by mixing together
the personalities of the characters on "Legally Blonde" and "Clueless." She then
combined them "with a rich girl all-in-one."
"Even my voice is different from me in real life. It's a character I like to
play. I think it's carefree and happy," Hilton explained, adding, "The public
think they know me but they really don't."
So, not only is she a hotel heiress, pop singer, and consummate partier, "The
Simple Life" makes Hilton a real reality television insider, capable of giving
viewing audiences reality TV programming insight.
The Left Coast Report wonders if this means that Hilton's fans will have to
adjust to the fact that she's even less intelligent than her TV alter-ego.
4. Warren Beatty: 'Far Right' Kept Him From Running
It's funny how celebrities who run for political office frequently elect to have
an "R" as opposed to a "D" next to their name; i.e., Ronald Reagan, Sonny Bono,
Fred Thompson and Arnold Schwarzenegger, among others.
Maybe it's because celebrity conservatives aren't in the habit of making lame
excuses.
Actor, activist and much ballyhooed potential political candidate Warren Beatty
is offering an explanation as to why he's been a loud talker, but not much of a
walker, when it comes to running for office.
Beatty is quoted in Amy Wilentz's book, "I Feel Earthquakes More Often Than They
Happen," as saying, "People hate celebrities . . . There has been a demonization
of celebrities on the part of the far right."
According to Beatty, the "far right" is quite potent even when it comes to a
certain hallowed New Jerseyite.
"Look," Beatty said, "Bruce Springsteen went out for [John] Kerry in Ohio, and
they even made him look bad — and Springsteen is a saint."
5. Brad Pitt's Alibi for the Single Guy
Being a dad to his new daughter Shiloh and his two adopted children, Maddox and
Zahara, has Brad Pitt gushing.
When it comes to marrying the mother of his kids, though, it's a whole different
story.
Regarding his own potential nuptials with Angelina Jolie, Pitt told Esquire
magazine that he won't get hitched until "everyone else in the country who wants
to be married is legally able."
Now single guys who feel as if they're being tugged toward the altar by their
main squeezes have an easy out, thanks to the actor-humanitarian.
The Left Coast Report hears that polygamists are celebrating Pitt's
pronouncement too.
