LA.Direct magazine threw an exclusive invite only event last Friday in Hollywood in support of Christian Audigier (designer Ed Hardy). Guests scheduled to attend included Adrian Grenier, Tara Reid, Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz, Wilder Valderrama, Bill Maher, Brody Jenner, Cisco Adler, Ana Ortiz and more.

It was mostly fun and laughs on the red carpet, but some noteworthy conversations included one from Da Brat.
She says she's mostly in Chicago and Philly so she's happy to be out in L.A. She's currently working on a new album, and her own reality show.

I also chatted with director Paul Coy Allen who directed Timbaland's "Give it to Me" on Shock Value, amongst his other various projects, (this photo's from a separate event).
Well... guess whose video Paul says he's been working on right now? Think about it. I'll give some hints: This singer is an attention whore and I said her first "official video" must be a spoof!!

.... Yep, Paul Coy Allen said he directed Heidi Montag's new video! He smiled from ear to ear as he said, "Heidi is hot! She's very very hot and the video is hot!" Hmmm... what should we take away from this? I think he'll come up with something better than a bikini shoot, I'm thinkin' lingerie this time around. Heidi and Spencer had fun fooling everyone. I can't wait for this video to come out!!! Team Heidi. :)

While former Playboy Playmate and Hugh Hefner's ex, Christi Shake was in the house (photo from another event).Christi said she loved the Playboy mansion because "You can dress like a hooker everyday and it's ok!" Who needs a Playboy mansion to do that? Don't we all.

Shar Jackson also came out. She chatted it up with half the members of the press on the red carpet then just walked past everyone else. Did someone annoy her by asking about K-Fed? Who knows. Anyway, she had her hair down, a big jacket, fierce hooker boots and she was looking hot. Sorry no pictures of Shar. :( My friend was stuck in 'OMG mode' while she should have taken a picture. Me and Kevin Federline's ex had a very deep, intimate conversation, haha. It went like this:

Me: Shar, you lookin' good, gurl!

Shar: Oh! Thank you so much! How you doin' tonight?

Me: I'm doing good. How you doin'?

Shar: I'm doing great! Thank you!

Then Shar walks away towards her girlfriends and the guy who played Brandy's boyfriend on Moesha. Now that was an epic conversation. :-p Honestly, Shar comes across as a kind, genuine person. There was no fakery about her when she spoke with anyone. She was very sweet and she looked great.

Thanks LA.Direct for the invite! LA.Direct really throws the best parties, I'll try to attend more of 'em so I can give you the scoop. :)

Gabrielle looks hawt! I doubt they need to do that much photoshopping on her. She doesn't need any at all, but you know every female is slimmed down. Haha! She doesn't want dookie in her weave. Pull it back, gurl, then duck and roll.

Mischa Barton won't be joining the cast of CW's Gossip Girl.TV Guide reported that Barton, 22, had been approached to play Georgina Sparks, an old friend of reformed party girl Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively). But her rep says, "She will not be on the show. She was approached, but her reps passed."

The actress " who was charged with DUI and marijuana possession this past week from a December arrest " last appeared on the Fox hit The O.C. Her character was killed off in 2006.

You know what? I can't blame Mischa for turning the offer down. She was already on a teen show when she was a teen. It's time for her to grow up, branch out and jumpstart her future porn career.

Jessica Biel is the picture of patience Wednesday as costar Ben Barnes gets prepped for the next scene while on the set of her new period piece, Easy Virtue, currently filming in England.

It's not like it's hard for JT's broad to look good, but she's just so down to earth, she doesn't really doll herself up in bold makeup so it's nice to see her change it up. Outside of character the platinum blonde is too bright, but in this on the set pic she looks great!

OMG, will they PLEASE do it!!!!! I'm never gonna be a fan of this bitch, ever! What an ungrateful whore, the whole reason why anyone even knows Katherine Heigl is because she was able to put down "Grey's Anatomy" on her audition applications and she had a Grey's fanbase. This bitch sucks.

Katherine Heigl is anxious to continue her film career and doesn't want to be tied to the role that made her famous, Dr. Izzie Stevens on the hit show Grey's Anatomy. Heigl has asked producers to kill her off her character on the show because she doesn't want to be known as just a television star, and wants to break into movies full time.

After starring in the hit films Knocked Up and 27 Dresses, Katherine believes she has outgrown the small screen - and her agent is working overtime so she can devote herself full time to movies.

"Katherine has even suggested to ‘Grey's' producers that they kill her character Dr. Izzie Stevens in dramatic fashion so her exit could bring in huge ratings," a pal of the 29-year-old Emmy winner told The Enquirer.

Heigl said earlier that she didn't know where producers were going with the series and called her character Izzie's storyline a "ratings ploy."

It's totally understandable that she wants to focus on movies, but look at the cast of Friends, they did the show for 10 years without whining all the way through like Kat. This is how she treats her fans? She could try to hang on for another season or two... but wait! I don't like Izzie. If they kill her off that will be one of the best episodes in the history of TV. Callie should totally take off her stiletto and beat her to death literally for cheating with George.

She always brings out the fug, at least the bitch is consistent.

Kelly Clarkson flashes a big smile as she makes her way through the Perth airport in Western Australia Thursday. The singer is Down Under to co-headline the 2 Worlds, 2 Voices tour with Reba McEntire.

Why the new look? Pitt, 43, is about to begin shooting the Terrence Malick-directed drama Tree of Life with Sean Penn.

The movie stars Mike Myers, Jessica Alba and Verne Troyer.

Looks pretty dumb, dumb as in it's funny if you're under the influence, really irritating and cheesy if you're not. Justin makes me wanna see it a little bit... well, not really. He's barely even in the trailer. I think it's all about Mike Myers and Jessica Alba and I can pass on that.

I know I can't post them because I'll get a copyright infringement email, but you can check out baby Harlow Winter looking oh so cute by clicking here.

I'm so glad someone leaked this story so they could send him packing.

Prince Harry has been pulled out of Afghanistan by British army chiefs and is heading home.His position as a frontline soldier became untenable once the news broke Thursday that he had been secretly fighting against the Taliban since before Christmas.

"Following a detailed assessment of the risks by the operational chain of command, the decision has been taken ... to withdraw Prince Harry from Afghanistan immediately," the Ministry of Defense confirmed in a statement. "This decision has been taken primarily on the basis that the worldwide media coverage of Prince Harry in Afghanistan could impact on the security of those who are deployed there, as well as the risks to him as an individual soldier."

Prince Harry planned to stay until April. The news leak by some foreign media outlets is "regrettable," the Minister of Defense said.

Prince Harry was excited to fight.

"[I] finally get the chance to actually do the soldiering I wanted to do from ever since I joined," he told reporters, including the U.K.'s Press Association. Of his late mother, Diana, he added, "Hopefully she would be proud."

His performance was called "exemplary."
