The Awful Truth

We get the semi-delish deets on Teri Hatcher’s love life, dissect Jessica Simpson’s latest unforgivable outfit choice (which she seems to be doing quite often since she hooked up with John Mayer) and serve up a brand-spankin’-new Blind Vice on this Awful Friday. Can ya stand it? Got a few gems of goodness from the GLAAD Awards to tell you about. First off, let's get to pressing matters, like Teri Hatcher's love life. I know you're dying to hear about that one, right? She's been dating Eva Longoria's former guy, Stephen Kaye, and seems Ter-bear has finally found someone to suck face with in public for more than one week. Yay!

Cristina Gibson, ever the fab amour detective, asked Andrea Bowen, who plays Teri's daughter on Desperate Housewives, if her small-screen mama had brought her new flame to the set. "I've met him several times," the perky gal bubbled. "He's great; he's supersweet. He has been on the set, and they're very happy." 

"She told me it's okay to say she's happy," Miz Bee added as an afterthought.  

So nice that Andrea has Ter to vet all the answers red carpet peeps might ask her, isn't it? Wonder what stuff isn't cleared by Teri Hatcher to tell us press peeps? I bet it's oodles more interesting. 

Also interesting, at the same shindig, was the charity call portion of the show. A GLAAD person went onstage, asking anyone willing to donate more than $1,000 to stand up. "I'm not getting down until we hit $100,000!" he said.

Would you believe one of the very first peeps to rise was a hetero hunk? Yep, Jason Lewis, that delish dude from Sex and the City who now plays gay on Brothers & Sisters, was quick to jump up. Love that guy! Also eventually joining the high-rolling charity crew was T.R. Knight and Neil Patrick Harris.  

And although I give Jay serious snaps for exercising his philanthropic bone, C. reports the boy cannot read a teleprompter to save his perky ass. He was one of the presenters earlier and got all kinds of messed up trying to read off the giant screen, stumbling and stuttering his way through the speech.

"I got ahead of myself," he announced midsentence, as some lackey backstage no doubt scrambled to get to the right spot.  

Whatev, he's hot and has a heart of gold, so we'll totally overlook this little oopsie!
Marisa Tomei, prolly pissin' off PETA. The Oscar-winning actress, dressed down and sans shades, hit C. Madeleine's in Miami for a little shopping Monday afternoon. Marisa came with four giggly gal-pals and spent two hours tryin' on vintage threads before deciding on a fox fur and snakeskin jacket. Hope Pam Anderson isn't reading this! Instead of leaving with her loot, Miz Tee requested it be shipped to her in New Yawk. Also droppin' cash, but not carrying, was…

Paris Hilton, buyin' at Lisa Kline Beverly Hills on Monday afternoon. Paris was incognito in big-ass shades, Burberry pants and a hoodie. She shopped while chatting on her cell, quelle surprise. "She didn't want a dressing room," says my shop spy. P.H. picked out her purchases and gave them to a salesgirl, but didn't actually take any of it with her...Seems she sent an assistant back later to fetch her goodies. Also spending time with platinum peeps was...

Taye Diggs, doin' biz with a blonde. The hungry hottie was spotted at Sapa NYC, enjoying an odd combo of Belvedere and French fries. Now, my spywitness swears the blondie babe was a "business associate," but Taye's often seen out 'n' in festive about with other gals, what the eff gives? Wonder what wifey Idina Menzel thinks about that? Drinking top-shelf spirits in another city was... Wanda Sykes, at Marix here in Hell-Ay. Miz Sykes was in the mood for Mexican and dining with two of her main boys. The crack-up comedienne was wearing a black tee over a white long-john shirt. Other perky patrons overhead the funnygal order a Patrón margarita. Tequila time! Balmy imbibing elsewhere was... Kristin Cavallari, at the grand opening of the Bahamas Atlantis resort's Aura nightclub. You only gotta be 18 to drink in the islands and at said booty-shakin' spot, so Kristin's actually of age there. The beachy babe was on hand with her boyf Nick Zano and even took a turn behind the deejay tables à la Lindsay Lohan. Too chic for multi-12-steppin' words!
