If you watch MTV’s Jersey Shore, you’re no stranger to some of Snooki’s strangest beauty secrets. The self-professed (and self-absorbed) guidette loves to damn Bumpits and preach the power of the poof to anyone in earshot, but Snooki’s got one tip for radiant skin that she should seriously consider keeping under her hat: she goes days at a time without washing her face.

Talk about a skincare nightmare.

In fact, the pint-sized principessa was wearing five days worth of old makeup during a recent TV appearance, one industry makeup artist blabbed to MSNBC’s The Scoop this week:

“She was bragging that it had been five days since she’s washed her face. She said she was too tired to wash her face. I had to scrub to get down to her skin. When I apologized and said it would be worth it because she’d look great, she responded with, ‘I always look great anyway.’ ”

High School Musical alum Ashley Tisdale has joined the cast of the forthcoming CW pilot Hellcats in the role of a fiesty cheerleader.

The project centers on Marti (Aly Michalka), a college girl from the wrong side of the tracks who, after losing her scholarship because of budget cutbacks and her childlike mother (Gail O’Grady), joins the Hellcats, the college’s competitive cheerleading team. Ashley will play Sierra, captain of the Hellcats

The pilot is in development at The CW and on track for fall pickup by the network, Entertainment Weekly said Friday.

A few weeks ago, we told you about the Lady Gaga fanatic who just couldn’t get enough of decking out his collection of Barbie Dolls in designs inspired by the pop charttopper and fashion risk taker. Now we’ve dug up a “Little Monster” with an even stranger fetish.

Photographer Jesse Freidin has snapped his dogs in a series of Gaga-inspired outfits — and don’t they look just ecstatic about it?

Celebrity biographer Ian Halperin – who penned the unauthorized 2009 tell-all Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson – is set to release a documentary about the late singer.

Halperin has been working on a 88-minute Jackson tribute documentary, entitled Gone Too Soon, which uses audio and video footage of the Thriller singer shot before his death last June. The feature is also expected to include interviews with the King of Pop’s personal manager, chef, spiritual adviser, hairstylist, trainer, bodyguard, and attorney.

The film will debut at the MIPTV conference in Cannes, France, next month and will open in limited release in Canada and France June 25, the first anniversary of Jackson’s death.

Slumdog Millionaire’s Freida Pinto — who reportedly turned down a chance to screen test for the last 007 feature — is being courted by American Beauty director Sam Mendes to follow in the footsteps of stars like Denise Richards and Jane Seymour by appearing as a so-called “Bond Girl” in the next film about the British secret agent.

The 23rd film in the long-running franchise is fast tracked for a 2011 release, and will be in 3D.

Former adult film star Jenna Jameson has been left emotionally-shaken after losing triplets during lifesaving surgery for uterine and double ectopic pregnancies — the latter being an abnormal pregnancy that occurs outside of the uterus.

“Had surgery today for a double ectopic pregnancy iIlso had a pregnancy in my uterus.This is so insane.I just wanted to get this off my chest,” she wrote of Tuesday’s ordeal in a posting to her Twitter page this week.

In 2009, Jenna welcomed sons Jesse Jameson and Journey Jett with longtime partner and former UFC champ Tito Ortiz.

At least two cable networks have expressed interest in purchasing a new reality series that would see former White House hopeful and ex-Alaska governor Sarah Palin giving guided tours of her native Alaska.

A&E and The Discovery Channel — each known for its diverse reality fare — both want to acquire the rights to Sarah Palin’s Alaska — a project, executive produced by Mark Burnett, which focuses on the controversial conservative visiting fishing boats and taking trips to a gold mines as viewers tune in, tipsters told The Hollywood Reporter this week.

The former vice presidential candidate is reportedly asking for between $1 million and $1.5 million per episode.

Paula Abdul won’t be hosting a reboot of Star Search after all.

Rumors have been abuzz this week that the former American Idol judge would front a revival of the popular TV talent show that originally aired between 1983 and 1985, but the deal did not go through, according to Reuters.com.

“A deadline was given and no agreement was reached. And she was offered a lot of money…It looks like we hit the end of the road with Paula.”

Abdul was reluctant to take a accept less than $5 million to host the show, and ABC was reluctant to offer her an unprecedented salary for launching an untested reality show into a marketplace filled with similar successful series.

The failed deal makes it unlikely that Star Search will return to the small screen anytime soon, since ABC’s interest in reviving the program was contingent on Paula’s participation in the show.

Paula, on the other hand, is still considered a front-runner to join best pal Simon Cowell when he launches the US version of his British hit, The X Factor, in September 2011.

The Indian government is considering banning Lindsay Lohan from visiting the country again, after the actress entered the continent last year to shoot a BBC documentary on female sex trafficking without work visa.

Last December, the Mean Girls star traveled across the continent interviewing the people involved in trying to find solutions to the illegal trade. While in India, Lohan visited the Sanlaap women’s and children’s shelter outside Kolkata, which houses young women and girls who were victims of trafficking and other forms of exploitation.

The star, 23, described her visit to India as “the most amazing time of my life.” However, after learning that Lohan violated immigration laws by entering the country to film the documentary without the proper documentation, senior civil servants in New Delhi are now studying the case and will rule on whether her name will be added to an immigration blacklist, London’s The Telegraph reports.

The documentary will air on BBC Three later this year.

Eccentric lensman Tim Burton is planning a new animated 3D version of The Addams Family, just as his kooky version of Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice In Wonderland wows audiences at the box office. Burton is hoping to use his a mirage of visual techniques to resurrect The Addams Family, who last appeared on the big screen in 1993’s Addams Family Values, a scoop from Deadline.com revealed on Thursday.

Dina Lohan will announce a new green toothbrush, called “The Aqua Freedom Green Lohan Brush” during a press conference in New York City this morning. The controversial stage mom will also announce her new role as spokesmodel for a new “Go Green New York” Initiative targeting local families.

The Lohan Toothbrush will go on sale at retailers across the country this May.

According to a press release issued Thursday: “LINDSAY LOHAN’S MOTHER DINA LOHAN WILL JOIN ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN A MAJOR PRESS CONFERENCE INTRODUCING ONE OF THE FIRST WATER FREE TOOTH BRUSHES IN AMERICA. ”THE AQUA FREEDOM GREEN LOHAN BRUSH” WILL BE UNVEILED ON AT THE ”GO GREEN EXPO” ON FRIDAY MARCH 19, 2010 AT 11:30AM AT PIER 92 ON 12th AVENUE & W 55th STREET.THE BRUSH WILL SAVE THE AVERAGE CONSUMER OVER TWO GALLONS OF WATER IN THE BATHROOM A DAY…..”

Psychos, every celebrity’s got one: A man accused of stalking businesswoman and former model Ivanka Trump was arrested in Reno, Nevada this week.

Justin Massler — a New York out West visiting his mother — was arrested Tuesday on a warrant alleging he used the Internet to stalk the 28-year-old newlywed daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump, according to The Reno Gazette-Journal. Massler, a blogger who authors The Ivanka Trump Fan Blog, described himself in one posting as “a celebrity stalker who is obsessed” with the Celebrity Apprentice star.

Massler’s mother, Randee Massler, admits her son has some emotional issues but adds that he has only written about Trump on the Internet and has never been a threat to her.

“He is sick and has a history of mental illness,” Randee Massler said. “He never harmed anyone and hasn’t done anything other than write articles on the internet. He hasn’t come anywhere close to Ivanka Trump,” she insisted. “He’s like a 10-year-old who has a crush on a movie star.

Massler is currently being held in the Washoe County Jail in Reno.

Calling all Gleeks! Glee became an instant fan favorite after premiering on FOX last year — and we hear the hit series could be making the leap from the small screen to the stage.

Music Theatre International (MTI), the company behind Broadway classics like Legally Blonde, Hairspray, and Fiddler on the Roof, is in discussions to produce a stage musical based on the satirical television hit, Playbill.com revealed on Thursday.

“The Glee deal is in negotiations. We’re exploring a collaborative venture with Fox and Glee. We just think it’s a natural,” MTI chairman Freddie Gershon told the site this afternoon.

“We’ve had a tremendous amount of enthusiasm from our music partners. Certainly if these kids become stars in their own right, who knows? Live appearances. Albums. There’s lots of things that could happen,”
FOX broadcasting President Kevin Reilly said when quizzed about a possible Glee stage play last fall.

In related news, FOX and Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy are bringing the series to the stage in a concert tour this spring. Glee stars will perform in a singing and dancing celebration of the Golden Globe Award-winning show beginning Wednesday, May 18 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Glee airs Wednesdays on FOX.

Late last month, TV Land ordered 10 episodes of its first original sitcom, Hot in Cleveland, a new comedy featuring an all-star cast of veteran small screen stars: including Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick, Jane Leeves, and the adorable Betty White. The legendary comedienne-actress has been cast as the snarky and cantankerous caretaker of the Cleveland home shared by three middle-aged friends from Los Angeles.

Hot In Cleveland premieres this June. Here’s a clip:

A bad romance could cost Lady Gaga millions. The pop star has been slapped with a $30 million lawsuit from a former boyfriend who claims the singer stiffed him after he dumped her.

Songwriter and aspiring music mogul Rob Fusari credits himself with making “Gaga” a buzzword.
Fusari — who helped pen the Destiny’s Child hit “Bootylicious” — says he molded Stefani Germanotta from a “young Italian girl guidette” into one of the dynamic forces in music today, even giving her her bizarre stage name. The pair worked together seven days a week for more than three years and co-wrote Gaga’s hits “Beautiful, Dirty, Rich” and “Paparazzi.”

However, Rob argues that ever since he ended his romantic relationship with Gaga in 2007, the “scorned woman” has worked tirelessly to cut him out of a business deal that entitled him to 20 percent of her royalties and merchandising rights.

Heidi Montag will have to find someone else to non-existant singing career after firing L.A.-based psychic Aiden Chase.

The Hills starlet has parted ways with the spiritual advisor she hired to replace husband Spencer Pratt last week, a source close to The Hills star confirmed to Access Hollywood on Thursday.

According to Us Weekly, the trouble began when Aiden showed up unannounced on the set of Just Go With It — the new romantic comedy in which Heidi has a cameo role — “demanding a significant portion of her ‘Hills’ money.”

The source also claimed that Aiden tried to, “move onto Audrina” Patridge, offering to be her manager and provide psychic services behind Heidi’s back.

“He’s this creepy older guy who is clearly preying on these young girls. It’s awful. The guy thinks he’s famous now — it’s ridiculous. He’s referring to himself as the most famous psychic in the world,” says a spy.

Reality star and biker enthusiast Jesse James has broken his silence on the rumors of infidelity that have romantically-linked him to a heavily tattooed former stripper — apologizing for the “grief” he has caused his Oscar-winning wife Sandra Bullock and his children.

On Wednesday, In Touch Magazine published a tell-all titled “The Ultimate Betrayal,” an interview with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, an exotic dancer-turned-tattoo model who claims she had an 11-month affair with James, that started while Sandra was in Atlanta filming her award-winning role in The Blind Side.

Bullock has cancelled a planned red carpet appearance in London next week and may have moved out of the home she shares with Jesse amid reports that he cheated on her.

Stopping short of a full confession, James called “the vast majority” of claims that have surfaced “untrue and unfounded,” but did apologize for the “pain and embarrassment” he’s caused his family: “It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way,” he said in the statement. “This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”

Angelina Jolie has a girl crush on Johnny Depp’s baby mama, if a new report from The National Enquirer is to be believed. French singer/model Vanessa Paradis reportedly felt uneasy after learning that her longtime beau would be sharing the screen with accused husband humper Jolie in the upcoming romantic thriller The Tourist. Paradis — who has two children with the Oscar-nominated actor — fears that Angie, 34, will set her sights on Johnny, similarly to the way she allegedly did with a then-married Brad Pitt on the set of 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Vanessa couldn’t be more off the mark, say insiders reportedly close to Angie. In fact, snitches claim the petite and soft-spoken Vanessa is actually more the actress’ type!

An Enquirer spy blabs: “Angelina laughed when she read the reports about her supposedly having a crush on Johnny. She pointed out that while there’s no doubt he’s a great-looking guy, there’s nothing especially exciting about him — and she thinks his girlfriend is way hotter. Ever since Angie first saw magazine photos of Vanessa, she has wanted to meet her….”
