Trash News From Ryan Midnight

Lance Armstrong hits the October issue of Men’s Journal, and he was quite candid about his life and his love life. Most recently  he has dated Kate Hudson. That relationship ended about a month ago, and since then Hudson has been seen about town with way too many. It’s hard to keep tabs on her, but it is just as difficult keeping tabs on Armstrong, who admits he loves the ladies and sex, when he has the energy to have it. He has always been seen as a ladies man, and in this lengthy interview he admits that.

“I’m a 36-year-old single guy, who is completely open and honest with every woman in my life,” says Armstrong. “As long as you’re honest, and no one’s getting played or let down, then you’re being fair.”

Nothing wrong with it, as long everyone involved knows what they are getting into with this skirt chaser!

 Kirsten Dunst has played the diva, and she has banned the writer of her current film project off the set. Toby Young is the writer of the book the movie, How To Lose Friends & Alienate People, is based on, and after several visits on set, the writer has criticized Dunst’s performance. The writer says the actress overheard a suggestion he made to the producer on a particular scene, and while the producer took it in the proper light, the actress saw it as only criticism. After that, Young was booted from the set. Can’t take a little helpful criticism when it comes to your craft, Kirsten? Shame on you!

 Last week, it was announced that Jennifer Aniston would be returning to the network that made her career as she guest starts on 30 Rock this season. No details were given at that time on just what Aniston would be doing on the series, but we now know Jennifer Aniston will appear on one episode as a stalker like Fatal Attraction character.

Jennifer Aniston played Rachel Greene on NBC’s Friends during its entire run, and following that show’s end she focused more on her movie career. Tina Fey, the creator and star of 30 Rock, says Jennifer has ‘mad skills.’ 30 Rock will return to NBC for its next season in October. Most recently Jennifer Aniston has made news for her latest break-up to singer John Mayer.

News broke yesterday that the teenage daughter of the Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant. Briston Palin is seventeen years old, and she is currently five months pregnant. She plans to keep the baby and marry her boyfriend. This news created a buzz around the convention on Monday, but the focus was elsewhere in the country.

Hurricane Gustav hit the Louisiana coast line on Monday, but the storm didn’t pack as much of a punch as first predicted. The levees held for the most part, and now the area is waiting for the next three storms to hit. The first, Hurricane Hannah, is set to hit the east coast on Friday if it continues on this path.

 The singer Amy Winehouse was set for a performance this past weekend in Paris, but she canceled out her appearance, not making the trip from her home in London to the festival gig in Paris because she was sick. The star was resting at home comfortably, but she was unable to perform at the Rock En Seine festival. Word has it that the festival promoters might end up suing the performer for not appearing. In other Amy news, there is talk about her July hospital stay. Word has it that it might have been marijauna poisoning. Relatives fear Amy has damaged herself beyond repair.

Last week, the Democrats had their turn to share their platform with the country, and this week ahead it is time for the Republican’s to have that same turn. However, a storm is set to hit the country in the form of Gustav. If this storm is bad enough, word has it that the Republican National Convention might be delayed depending on how badly Hurricane Gustav affects the country.

This comes to us via Broadcasting & Cable. There is no word that this is a definite plan yet, but an eye is being focused on the hurricane. The Republican National Convention is set to take place in Minnesota starting September Monday. Earlier this week, John McCain picked Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. On Sunday morning, George Bush and Dick Cheney both announced that they will not be make it to the convention.

At this time, Gustav is quickly heading towards the Gulf Coast, and it will be making landfall near New Orleans Monday morning. This storm could possibly be stronger than Katrina, which hit and devastated New Orleans three years ago. News on this story continues to develop, and by all means keep the Gulf Coast in your thoughts.

The Democratic National Convention this week in Denver was watched by the country, and perhaps even the world as we are looking ahead to who might be our next president. Now we know that when Barack Obama took the stage, 38 million people tuned in to watch him deliver his speech. This is more than the number that tuned in to watch the Oscars this year, and the opening ceremonies of the Beijing 2008 Olympics. Now the people of the United States are waiting for the other side to have their say as McCain now has picked a running mate in Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin.

 If there was ever a family that deserved their own soap opera, it would be the Lohan family. Lindsay has come out against her father Michael Lohan calling him a bully and a public embarrassment on her blog after he attacked her relationship with Samanta Ronson. This isn’t the first time she has spoken out against her father. Michael was pissed off to say the least.

All of this is happening when Lindsay’s uncle is sent to jail for defrauding the United States government. He has been sentenced to one year behind bars. If it wasn’t already bad enough, E! News is reporting that Lindsay’s grandfather passed away on Thursday, and this is now bringing the family together. Yes, folks! It is a soap opera.

What does Susan Duff do when she needs money for Hilary’s 21st birthday party? She takes Hilary’s daddy to court. She asked for $25,000 from her ex-husband because that is just how much it cost when they decided to throw Haylie a birthday party when she turned 21. Susan didn’t get the $25,000 she was asking for, but she received about half of that and another small bonus surprise.

Bob Duff was sent off in handcuffs and will spend a little time in jail for selling off assets from the estate without permission. He sold over $300,000 in stocks, and he will have to pay back the money he earned from that sale. I think the best song for Hilary’s birthday would be, its my party and I’ll cry if I want to. Susan didn’t expect to see Hilary’s father thrown in the slammer! Oops? Her bad.

E! News has released the news that Michael Bolton and Desperate Housewife Nicolette Sheridan have ended their engagement. The couple has been dating off since 1992. They broke up in 1997 and then reunited in 2005. Soon after they announced their plans to marry. The two made the announcement earlier this week. This seems to be one of those quieter Hollywood couples you only hear about when things go sour. If they parted once before, there is always a chance for them to date once again. A break doesn’t always mean the end, especially when it comes to couples in Hollywood. Sheridan returns on Desperate Housewives in September.
