Shannen Doherty Relists Her Malibu Ocean-View Pad In the life of a 90210 alum, $400,000 is small change. Shannen Doherty has willingly agreed to part ways with a few hundred k, dropping the price on her 3,410-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 5-bedroom Malibu pad from $4.4 million to $4 million.
Ashlee Simpson was straight faced as she stepped out after dinner with a friend at Il Sole in LA last night. It’s been a busy week of nightlife for the actress, though things took a dramatic turn at Monday night’s DJ Hero launch party. Ashlee apparently got in a bit of a tussle with Pete Wentz’s ex Michelle Trachtenberg but has since apologized. Hopefully the rest of the week will go more smoothly since tonight he is set to throw a runway show with Nicole Richie, and this weekend the couple will celebrate Pete’s 30th birthday party in Vegas.
It was a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants reunion in NYC last night as Blake Lively, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel gathered for dinner at Five Points. Blake brought Penn Bagdley to fill in as an honorary member of the party. The ladies have branched out with their separate projects these days, but it seems like there’s still a solid camaraderie among the girls if they ever want to get together for another sequel.
It’s been six years since Dawson’s Creek was on the air, and the four main stars - Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson, and James van der Beek - have come a long way in their careers and grown up a lot. Yesterday, Tom Kapinos, the former show runner for the series who now works on Californication, had not-so-nice things to say about his experience on Dawson’s, saying among other things, “It was the four monstrous actors at the core of it.” It’s pretty much ancient history, and there’s one Oscar nominee among them, so what do you think about Kapinos’s quote - mean or funny?
It’s just about Summer, and that means it’s time for many of our favorite celebs to head to the beach and onto a yacht. Take a look at these photos from warm days past and test your knowledge of which stars are on a boat.

Which Olsen at The Hangover Premiere Is More Fab? Seeing as Ashley Olsen’s boyfriend Justin Bartha stars in The Hangover, it’s no surprise that his girl and her twin were there to support him at the LA premiere. I’m usually on Team Ashley but this one is a toughie. Who do you think looks more Fab?
Over on his official fansite message board, Clay Aiken was asked his opinion on the California Supreme Court’s ruling on Prop 8, which makes gay marriage illegal in the state, and the Gayken answered the question quite well!
Thank goodness!
Writes Clay:
“Loaded question. Hope I don’t get myself in trouble here again…
I will say that I am QUITE disappointed that Prop 8 passed in the first place. I could argue all day the myriad of reasons that I believe the US Constitution provides for equal rights for all people. And, as much as it is their right to have a differing opinion, I think that some of the arguments coming from the anti-gay side are stupid, hypocritical, and even contradict themselves.
That said, I can’t say that I am too upset by the CA Supreme Court’s ruling. While it is disappointing that same sex couples in CA will have to wait longer to have equal rights, at the same time I worry that a different ruling from the court would have caused far more trouble than good.
The bottom line is… no matter how much I hate it…. Prop 8 passed with the majority of the public vote. I don’t agree with them. I don’t think it is right, but it happened. I don’t think I would be comfortable allowing the courts the power to override the will of the people. Yes, I know the argument can be made that had the courts not struck down segregation in the south we may still have Jim Crow laws in place. However, (A) segregation was instituted by the states based on public opinion and not necessarily by an official vote and (B) the US Supreme Court struck down the practice of segregation. It didn’t overturn a specific vote.
I strongly believe that the next time that Californians go to the ballot box to vote on legalizing same sex marriage, the tides will turn. I truly believe that the majority of CA voters will support the equal rights of all people next time they are given the chance. While the CA Supreme Court may now be composed of justices who believe that same-sex marriage should be legal (remember they are the ones who made it legal in the first place), what happens when the public votes for same-sex marriage to be legalized, yet the CA Supreme Court is made up of justices who feel it should be illegal? Will they then have the power to overturn the vote? Its not a precedent I want set.
As much as I disagree with Prop 8, I don’t want to give the courts the power to ignore the will of the people. Because I expect that one day, even in North Carolina, the majority of voters will allow me the right to get married, and when that happens, I don’t want nine justices being able to change the outcome.
We can’t only agree with the system when it agrees with us.
That said…. Way to go Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, and (fingers crossed) New Hampshire… and, bring on the next ballot California!
