LATEST CHELSEA CLINTON WEDDING COST ESTIMATE: $3-$5 MIL [2010-07-27 01:00:00]
Chelsea Clinton's Saturday wedding to nvestment-banker boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky will be held at a posh private estate 90 miles north of Manhattan.
And wedding experts say the cost could run anywhere from $3 million to $5 million.
One wedding planner says "I don't think we've seen a wedding with this much attention since Patricia Nixon. This will definitely be the biggest wedding of the year."
At the more conservative cost of $3 million, that's a half-million behind Liza Minnelli and David Gest and $1 million ahead of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
According to celebrity event planner Diann Valentine, "It's bigger and more important than a celebrity wedding. It will certainly be the most influential of setting trends. If anything becomes public knowledge it will immediately set a trend."
Bill and Hillary Clinton can afford it. Between 2000 and 2007 they earned a reported $109 million.
ANGELINA JOLIE TELL-ALL DISHES ON AFFAIRS, FALLING FOR CO-STARS AND.... MICK JAGGER [2010-07-27 01:00:00]
Angelina Jolie: An Unauthorized Biography from author Andrew Morton includes details, like:
* Angelina was cared for by babysitters and lived in an "ivory tower" in her father Jon Voight's fifth-floor apartment for the first year of her life. She was barely visited by her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who lived on the second floor, because Angelina looked so much like Voight that Bertrand couldn't bear to look at Jolie's face after discovering her husband had had an affair.
* At 14, Jolie lost her virginity to her first boyfriend, named Anton. "At her mother's suggestion", Anton moved in with the family so that Bertrand could monitor them. "To make the young couple more comfortable, Marcheline gave up the master bedroom with its huge Chinese wedding bed and moved into a smaller bedroom."
* Only Bertrand and Jude Law (best friend to the groom) attended Angelina's 1996 wedding to British actor Jonny Lee Miller. The author claims that Angelina was still seeing her lesbian lover, Jenny Shimizu, at the time. He adds that within months of the marriage, Jolie began an affair with her Playing God co-star, Timothy Hutton.
* While filming George Wallace, the television movie that won her a Golden Globe, the author says Angelina, "like other actors, admits she falls in love with her co-stars, and she fell hard for her screen husband, Gary Sinise. That she was still married and that Sinise, 20 years her senior, was married with three young children, mattered not."
* At age 54, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger pursued Jolie for two years while still married to Jerry Hall.
BTW: "Due to unprecedented advance coverage of Angelina, the on sale date for the book has been moved to Saturday, July 31," so says St. Martin's Press' Vice President of Publicity.

IT WAS A GUYS' TELL ALL ON 'THE BACHELORETTE'! [2010-07-27 01:00:00]
Last night's special edition of "The Bachelorette" featured the men opening up about their experiences on the show.
Craig R. admitted, "I had no idea of what I was getting myself into. … I'm not used to feeling the pressure, but I really felt it that [first] night." Chris L. agreed, "That first night for me was intense." And Jonathan said of first meeting Ali in person, "I thought she was kind of mystical."
Of Kasey's infamous tattoo, the guys all agreed that he was "crazy" -- but still had his heart in the right place.
Kasey explained about "guarding and protecting her heart": "I came here with an open heart and an open mind. … How could you not be passionate about falling in love with a girl like that? Maybe I scared her, maybe I came on too strong, but [I was true to] myself."
On Frank rekindling his relationship with an ex-girlfriend Nicole, blindsiding Ali and leaving her high and dry in Tahiti, Craig R. said, "He came on this show with great intentions, and I think he got confused along the way."
Kasey said, "He took the safe way out." And Ty said, "It's a shame it got as far as it did, because it really took a toll on Ali. … Do I think he was selfish? Yeah."
Kirk spoke about getting his heart broken by Ali, saying, "I wanted things to work out with her, I really did. It was the first time I told myself, 'You know what Kirk? You're okay, and you're ready to give yourself to somebody else.' … It was tough, because for the first time in my healthy life I could see a future with somebody, and she didn't feel the same way."
"Rated R" did not participate in Monday's show.
"The Bachelorette" must pick between Roberto and Chris L.!

KE$HA ON TRANNIES, DIY TATTOOING AND BEING A "PERVERT" [2010-07-27 01:00:00]
On transvestites:
"Freaks are what make everything mildly more interesting in life but with trannies, they make me want to be a better woman. I see these men who have way better bodies than I do, more beautiful faces, better complexions, beautiful makeup, and they're more fun than any person I've met in my life. They make me feel like I'm not a very good woman."
On possibly going country:
"I'm really inspired by country music -- my mom wrote country music -- and I love Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. I think at some point there might be some country collaborations or records in the future. But I'm also really digging being called, like half jokingly, a white girl rapper. I think it's really funny and I'm going to ride that train for a little bit."
On her love for DIY tattooing:
"A friend of mine told me you can create a tattoo with pen ink and a safety pin and I was like 'That's amazing. I could give tattoos at anywhere in the world at any hotel.' I saw this hot dude recently and I gave him a tattoo sitting in the lobby of the hotel. I was just like 'Can I borrow a pen and a sewing kit?' I think I got an admirer out of that one."
On being a "pervert":
"I wouldn't say I'm aggressive, but I'm a pervert. I have a gold Trans Am and my favorite thing to do in the world is to drive around blasting Zeppelin or Sabbath, cat calling dudes. It doesn't work, but it's fun."
On her pick-up methods in bars:
"I usually do something ridiculous like send him over a shot of whiskey and then spank him. Something like that."
On whether Jack Daniels is really her drink of choice:
"I like whiskey and I like red wine, those are my two favorites. I love to lie around my house listening to vinyl records and drinking red wine. It's amazing. But I'm never home."
MIKE POSNER TALKS ABOUT HIS HUGE HIT "COOLER THAN ME" [2010-07-27 01:00:00]
Recent college graduate Mike Posner spent a lot of his time at school writing hooks instead of studying in his Duke University dorm room. Now, thanks to a song he made two years ago called "Cooler Than Me", he's competing with Katy Perry and Usher at the top of the pop charts.
The track is making his fans excited for the release of his debut set, "31 Minutes To Takeoff", which drops August 10th. He also starts a two-month club tour September 14th.
"Cooler Than Me" has sold more than 1.1 million downloads and is at No. 6 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
Posner explained what the song was about.
He said: "The song was inspired by a girl I went to Duke with, but she doesn't deserve any notoriety. There are girls like that everywhere, and that's why people like the song."
Posner did a more hip-hop version of the track on his 2009 mixtape "A Matter of Time". He then started playing weekend shows and even opened for Drake. Label bosses, including Jay-Z, took notice and by the time his semester at Duke ended, he was splitting time between finals and cutting a recording deal.
He signed with J Records last year, but he went back to school for his senior year. He earned his bachelor's in sociology and business with a 3.6 GPA.
After that, he dropped another mixtape and that led to festival dates at Bonnaroo, South by Southwest and Bamboozle.
He said: "There were many nights when I turned my sociology homework over and wrote my set list and taped it to the stage. I would go to school four days a week and then fly out and do as many as five shows in a weekend."
As for his new album, it features collaborations with Travis Barker and Bruno Mars. The title is also a tease because something happens 31 m
