I cannot for the life of me think of any source for these stories in the Mail on Sunday except my voicemail messages.Hugh Grant • Accusing the Daily Mail of hacking his cell phone. Remember News of the World? Well, the Daily Mail took a page out of their book, according to Grant (who’s built a rep for being a phone-hacking crusader). He is claiming that they hacked into his voicemail for a 2007 story; it may have been done by a private investigator once used by News of the World until his termination in 2006. Of course The Mail “utterly refutes Grant’s claim that they got any story as a result of phone hacking.” Perhaps they’ve cried wolf just too many times. source (via • follow)
Spotted at Occupy Wall Street today: Susan Sarandon. No word on when Barry Bostwick will show up. Does that mean NPR will finally cover this? (EDIT: Yes, they will.)
Can celebrities just be friends? Apparently not. Jennifer Lopez and Bradley Cooper were seen having dinner together this weekend in Toronto. Sparks were flying and chemistry abounded. This could be some sort of PR stunt. It could be the start of a relationship, maybe. She could be Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper. Or, it could just be pretty people enjoying each other’s friendship. Who are we to judge? And how do we manage to transition from a night filled with politics to celebrity gossip? We don’t know how we do it. source
