Tila Snags Lohan’s Ex-Gal, Yahoo! Heir Courtenay Semel

Courtney Semel isn’t a household name (not even after appearing on Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive on E!), but she should be. She’s rumored to have gotten it on with Lindsay Lohan, and up until recently was dating Johnson & Johnson heir Casey Johnson. Semel’s an heir of sorts herself - her dad Terry was the CEO of Yahoo! But it looks like her most recent relationship has ended after a fling this week with Tila Tequila - and we’ve got the pics to prove it! Check ‘em out below - seems like they pair were caught getting a little flirty, huh!?

A source tells Scandalist exclusively that Semel is a notorious playgirl - she even supposedly stole an LA guy’s girlfriend away from him a few years ago. Yahoo! [NYPost]

Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt just barely left the womb and already they are raking in big bucks for the Brangelina baby farm. Brad and Angelina will reportedly receive $10 to $15 million from People magazine for the first photos of Brangelina Bunch children numbers 5 and 6. The babies make their debut in next week’s issue of People and a photo from the issue will be revealed on People.com on Sunday.

Could there be some sibling rivalry in the Jolie-Pitt house already?  Big sister Shiloh’s first baby photos only fetched a reported $4.1 million from People. Apparently two baby Brangelinas are better (and cost more) than one. Either way, the youngest Jolie-Pitts are quite the moneymakers already. Knox, Vivienne, and Shiloh have already brought in about $19.1 million in just over 2 years. We probably won’t see them setting up a lemonade stand anytime soon.

Dear Katie Holmes and Rachel Bilson,

It is not 1984. It is also not 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, or 1993. Therefore it is not appropriate to french cuff your jeans, no matter how avant garde you may consider this new old look to be. In addition, it is unfair to the average-paid women of America to go and introduce this trend just when we all got on board with skinny jeans and gladiator sandals. For though we loathe your look, we will follow you blindly, but will only be able to afford the $40 H&M baggie-roll jeans that will come out next year and will consequently fail at mimicking your new style.

Please, do us a favor: Bring sweatpants back instead.

Kisses,

Scandalist

Jessica Simpson gussied up, threw on some cowboy boots, and chilled on June Carter’s piano to dish about her rocky love life, John Mayer, and down home country lovin’ with Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo. The reality star turned country singer talked to Elle for their September 2008 issue …

On Tony Romo: “Most of the guys I dated were captivated by my heart but they had different ways of trying to get to me. Tony understands me. He appreciates my talent. He’s the first person I’ve spiritually connected with. I’m a girl that loves to be in love. I love love!”

“It’s the cutest thing,” Simpson says of Romo. “He’ll say, ‘Jessica, 75% of the comments about your new single are favorable.’”

On her relationship with John Mayer: “John believed in the Jessica Simpson that’s within. He cherished our love. He helped make me the woman I am today. John is going to be an amazing man for someone, but I know that I was supposed to be with someone else.”

We’re a little wary of anything that might derail Britney Spears‘ progress as a human being - she’s come such a long way since she was locking herself in the bathroom naked with her baby. But just as crazy as Brit is, she is also horny, and girlfriend’s gotta get her bone on. So Brit’s allegedly banging her bodyguard, an Israeli soldier (!!!) named Lee who’s been protecting the star for six months.

In the past, Sam Lutfi would have uttered some weird comment about dating the dude, or worse, say nothing at all. But luckily, Britney 2.0 has a manager again! And good ol’ Larry Rudolph told Access Hollywood that “There is no truth to this at all. Britney is 100% single.” Even if she is bangin’ the bodyguard, we’ll never know otherwise. Which is really how it should be.

Good for Michelle Williams. The girl undoubtedly has had what one might call a shitty year, so it’s nice to see that she’s found love with one of Drew Barrymore’s many rejects, Spike Jonze. The dude is every indie girl’s fantasy, as the director of skateboarding videos (and, oh, amazing movies like Adaptation) and the ex of alt-chick idol, Sophia Coppola. Also, he’s Oscar-nominated, ladies, and apparently treats Michelle and her elfish little daughter extremely well.

“Spike had a gentle way of just being there for Michelle. There was no pressure for her to spend time with him – he just wanted to be a loving, supportive shoulder for Michelle to cry on.” Yep, that’s a source dishing on their romance. Apparently all these people are poets in their spare time, too.
