So, Jennifer Anniston is staying in the mother-in-law quarters at Gloria Estefan’s Miami home, while filming her new movie Marley and Me? And she’s not being charged for rent.

Gloria, if you’re still feeling hospitable, please reach out to Aracely Arambula. It seems as if your little sunshine state abode is becoming a haven for the lowly spirited and the broken-hearted.

No Rape Charges for Esai Morales

hissip — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:00:51 +0000

Esai Morales is off the hook for allegedly raping his ex Elizabeth Mazzochi in April of 2006.

“Morales’ attorney said that he’s happy the actor was vindicated and that Morales was never questioned by the police, never taken into custody, and there were never any charges brought against him. He also noted that Morales’ former girlfriend continued to live with the actor for months after the alleged attack.”

And that’s lack of evidence?

Um, actually Mr. Attorney to El Morales, rape victims are known to harbor guilt, and it wouldn’t be unusual for her to come to terms to the fact that she was raped, long after. It happens all the time, this whole delayed victimization realization stuff.

One thing about rapists: they always strike again. So see you at the next headline, Esaie.

ChrissyMil’s Music Game Back On

hissip — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:00:36 +0000

Watch out for ChrissyMil. She’s just released the first single entitled “So Deep, So Fast”, from her upcoming album on the MySpace music label.

It’s really interesting to see how this ends up playing out. MySpace has a lot of clout as a social media platform. And with this back-up, and ChrissyMil’s talent, she should do better than she did with those other albums that flopped worse than a wheat barley pancake.

Javier Bardem Has a New Role

Tetro is going to be Javier Bardem’s next film. It’s to be directed by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola and will also star Maribel Verdú, and Vicent Gallo.

It was only a matter of time before another big-time Hollywood director would snatch Javier! But, Penelope Cruz’s novio holds it all in stride, sharing his point-of-view about Hollywood superstardom with a Scottish newspaper:

“But there is a difference between me and an American actor. An American actor has the need to make it in his country. I don’t have that. I have my career in my country, and if something good happens in America, I’ll do it, and there are many great directors here I’d like to work with. But if that doesn’t happen, it doesn’t mean that I don’t have a career. I already have one – in Spain.”

Tell ‘em, Javier!

Cassie in GQ

Cassie has quite a nice spread in the March issue of GQ. And some little revelations to share, like the trauma over the rumors that she was Diddy’s jump-off:

“It’s insane—you have hundreds of people texting you, ‘Is this true?’; I’m like, ‘Do you know me?’ People have this image of me—if only they knew who I am. I thought, Wow, people want to tear me down.”

Redemption was not so far behind, it turns out: in the form of rapper Kanye West’s request for her to appear in his “Stronger” video:

“I’m so glad he asked me,” she says of the video. “After so many people counted me out, it was just what I needed. He was like, ‘I really believe in you. I think you’re the next big thing.’ That was a good feeling.”

J.Lo’s Neighbor From the Block Selling House

hissip — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 15:33:48 +0000

J.Lo, oh, excuse me being that I’ve just committed the unthinkable…rather…Yeni’s divorce attorney neighbor in the richy rich NY suburb Brookville has put up his house for sale.

What could have prompted this sale offer? Surely, Yeni has sound-proof walls and her querido neighbors cannot hear all her post-partum whining and her bratty twins.

Maybe the paparazzi can have a money pool and purchase the house with the resulting funds. Then they can photog J.Lo in all seasons, and from all angles. They won’t need 20K lens to get a close-up, then Hee, hee. Want to get a view of Yeni’s casa?
