YOKO...OH NO!
Lately, there's been quite a buzz surrounding the ultra-intense Hudson-Robinson marriage. It seems as though the members if Chris' band, The Black Crowes, are talking trash about his young Hollywood bride. As you may recall, Chris Robinson is a "former" heroin addict who once packed only one pair of pants for a 3-month European tour. Seems the boys don't groove on Miss Kate and her fashionista, flashy ways. They're sour on the gal due to Chris's recent cutting of his lank locks, and his newfound love of cashmere Armani sweaters (turtlenecks no less). They claim that she's changed him for the worse and that the band is suffering due to her persuading him to cut a solo album. Sound familiar? However, the Black Crowes are no Beatles, and Chris Robinson is surely no John Lennon. But more importantly, Kate H. could never pull off a beret like Yoko could. We won't hold our breath for their version of Double Fantasy...

THE HAMPTONS
Guilty pleasure it was...we're kinda sad it was over so soon! For those of you who tuned into the docu-reality series on the New York enclave then you will be familiar with P.R. punching bag Lizzie Grubman. Last summer we reported on the events that took place outside of the Conscience Point Inn (you know...when Lizzie mowed down 16 people with her SUV). Well, the series documented the event in great detail, and clued the entire nation in to the scandal. What the series failed to mention is that this year Lizzie tried to cop a plea in order to avoid jail time for multiple counts she is being charged for. Needless to say, that tactic didn't work and Grubman will most likely have to stand trial. We hope that Court TV is all over this one...that chick has guilt written all over her tanning salon face.
