Exclusive: Derek Jeter Dated New Survivor Contestant Corinne Kaplan

TheCHIMP.net has learned that the vacationing Derek Jeter (Kalamazoo Central H.S. - MI '92) also hits the low end of the celebrity female dating pool.

Add current Survivor Gabon contestant Corrine Kaplan to his "ex-list".

Our source in the NYC talent community confirmed that Kaplan, whom CBS called a "catty former sorority girl (who) uses her wit and sex appeal to further her goals", just might have futhered herself in to the image above.

The newly televised Kaplan didnt waste anytime getting herself out on the scene, hitting up the EA Games NBA Live 09 Party on Friday night (26 Sep), just 21 hours after first making it on national TV.

Tony Parker Hosts at Eva's Restaurant - EA NBA Live 2009 Game Launch

He's on the cover of the game, and he was celebrating at his wife's restaurant, Beso last night (Fri 26 Sep).

Tony Parker (Paris Basket Racing '99) and Eva Longoria Parker (Roy Miller H.S. - TX '93, Texas A&M -Kingsville '97). A sarcastic person would say "She's holding the sign too low to block a non existent baby bump."

TV fans say there are two types of people: LOST people and "Heroes" People. Superheroes must love basketball because the party VIPs read like an NBC call sheet.

Greg Grunberg, center (The pilot on the LOST pilot '04, Heroes 'current) should be indecisive on which type of fan he is. Hero castmate Sendhil Ramamurthy, right (Keystone School, San Antonio '91) is equally puzzled.

Rapper Young Dre the Truth loves EA games as much as he loves L.A, having writen a song for Madden NFL '09.

The game has all kinds of wizzbats and ding-dangs called "Dynamic DNA" that updates throughout the year with the exact statistical data that real NBA teams get. The analogy applies -- Google Android Phone: Pony Express as NBA Live 2009: "Double Dribble".

This Guy is a Beverly Hills Drug Dealer

There was nothing to write about at the Reality Awards after party, so instead decided to cover Hollywood Vodka Queen^TM Reese Flener's (Pink Vodka 'current) birthday party at Bar Lubitsch.

Jon Warech (OK Magazine), Bobby Gold (90210), Erin Einhorn (UFlorida '02), and Reese

There we met a spicoli look-alike named Bobby Gold, who may or not be a drug dealer (probably not), but he plays one on TV. If you've been staying home on Tuesday nights, this is the "drug dealer" on the new 90210. Originally from Long Island, he scored the role in his first year in LA, and still works for P.I.N.K. vodka.

Tattle tale says: "They were not drinking p.i.n.k. vodka at their table.

UPDATE: Freelance fact checkers (commenters, click below) confirm that a bottle of P.I.N.K was drained and polished before my arrival. Nice work.

Reality TV Hates Jeffrey Ross

No surprise that Jeffrey Ross won "first loser" on Dancing with the Stars last night (Tues 23 Sep).  Obviously "reality" holds a grudge.

Back in March Ross (Friar's Club Roast Master 'current) not only got ejected --  as host -- from the Real World 20th Reunion Awards bash, but the assembled cast members threw him in the pool mid monologue......without smiles. (We were there, and took this photo of him acting squirrely afterwards.)

His offense? "You all have one thing in common...obscurity." Ironic what happens to those voted off reality shows first.

Amazed he wasnt invited to host tonight's Fox Reality Channel Reality Awards. To cool for the show, but will have party coverage in the morning.

Jenn Brown Now "Inside the NFL" - Confusion over Initials Ensues

Nepotism in Hollywood? We're not sure it factored in FoTC.n Jenn Brown (Univ of Florida) infiltrating the boys' club on the couch of "Inside the NFL".

The show is anchored by distant cousin James Brown (far right).

Before getting called up to the Emmy award winning sports show in a rookie class including dancer Warren Sapp (Apopka H.S. - FL '91, UMiami '95, pictured left),  Jenn told TheCHIMP.net that her favorite sports achievement was "(going) 10 for 10 at stolen bases at 3rd base my senior year at the University of Florida. Anyone who knows baseball/ softball well know how hard it is to steal 3rd base...it was my specialty!!"

Prepare your fantasy lineup only after watching the cuter of the two "JB's", Wednesdays at 9 PM. Congrats.

Google's Poor Choice of Words - DJ AM and Travis Barker

Sadly, Google's billion dollar portfolio doesn't include an "emergency back up rating scale" to describe the popularity of searches in the midst of a tragedy. Google classified the popularity of searches related to the accident as "on fire".

Beyond the two injured celebrities, thoughts go out the four civilian families who lost people in the plane crash this morning. Hope they are remembered fondly, as we hope for a recovery for two amazingly talented musicians.

Hollywood Drinks Hennessey - If You Bribe us with LL Cool J and Ne Yo

Hennessey is a cognac. It is a type of brandy, produced in a special region of france. No, this is not from Wikipedia. We paid $465 to learn this a few years ago. You probably learned that for free from listening to hip hop.

When you rent out the largest behemoth of a club in Hollywood (this exact hour), "The Kress", and invite 866 tastemakers to hold up thier cell phones to take photos of 2 hip hop stars both born "Smith" - James Smith (LL Cool J) and Grammy Winner Shaffer Chimere Smith (Ne-Yo) performing in front of you, should we forgive you for your totalitarian bar regiment of Hennessey only? Is there vodka? "No, we're sponsored by Hennessey".  Can I BUY a vodka for $40? "No, you can have a Hennessey Sidecar". 

2 Guys Named Smith

So with gag reflexes intact, we sipped Hennessey Mojitos until we didn't taste it anymore. See corporate america, Hollywood parties work!! You got everyone to drink something, and like it* that they would never ever pay for. 

2/3 of the heroes of Hollyscoop.com  - Ani Esmalian and Diana Magpapaian (both UCSB '04) made a rare appearance on the party scene.

Spy photos of a coming attraction. On Sunday night (21 Sep), TV Guide will be throwing the largest post-Emmys party in this very tent on the grounds of the Kress.

*almost puked.

Now What Happens to the VJ's? TRL Cancelled

With videos long banished, the real story behind the cancellation of the once mighty TRL (MTV '98-08) is the collateral damage: The elimination of VJ's.

An MTV talent insider gave credence to our theory, telling TheCHIMP.net " What does it mean for VJ's-to-be now that the mothership of VJdom has taken off?" Let's hypothesize for a second: nothing good.

Ex MTV VJ Susie Castillo (Methuen H.S. - MA '97, Miss USA '03, pictured above) told TheCHIMP.net exclusively " MTV still needs hosts for specials like the Real World reunions, The Challenge reunions, New Years Eve, etc.".

Ouch. 3 hours of screen time a year isnt going to land the next generation of talking heads a book deal!

While the intensity of pent-up nostalgia for 90s MTV surprises, the post-channel accomplishments of its alumni VJ's traditionally go un-noted. " One of MTV's strengths has always been to know when to let go," says the source.

Castillo adds, "It will be sad to hear Damien (Fahey), (Longmeadow H.S. '95, Northeastern '03) say "thanks for watching, thanks for caring" for the last time. RIP TRL."

Giftbag Recon: InTouch Weekly Post-VMA Party

 By Monday, we mean at any point this week. Why does this heavy giftbag from the InTouch Weekly post-VMA party have a rule that every product must be loaded with sexual overtones of a one night stand?

Vaguely Left to Right. One night stand clues in green.

"Bed Head" Products everywhere. Besides the overall connotations of "bed...er... head", love the appropriately moniker'ed "After Party" pink stick-a-majig as the first item in this after party gift bag. Also, a bottle of red "hook up mousse". I always need "hook up mousse" on Sunday nights.

A folding recipe book of Flor-De-Cana rum cocktail recipes. Get 'em drunk, see what happens!

Kanye West's first novel - a novelty book with garishly displayed trite life advice on each page. Page Pictured: "Life is not what happens, it's 95% How your React". Like, how you react to taking photos??

Also in Kanye's "book", it says "Be leery of the free gift bag." We couldnt make this up.

Bed Head "Pet Head", a favorite of my Penthouse "Pet" Girlfirends.

David Beckham's Norwegian Sex Vitamins, called "Go3"

A big wooden brown dong/drink muddler to help "get'em drunk"

CD from live performers The Veronicas called "Hook It Up"

A sex toy style box with a porno blonde on the cover - that holds a (I'm told) totally expensive and awesome bed head hair straightener.

Birth Control Pamphlet for something called "Yaz". I always thought this Yaz was mood killer birth control enough.

What do fat burger eating teens need more than exercise? A lighter to smoke with.  This Burger King lighter says "Light up your night". Like the Billy Jean video?

"Smooth Sensation" from Nivea.

"Silky Smooth" Dark Chocolate from Dove.

Clarins Paris Gel Countour des Yeux  - "to remove puffiness and dark circles (after a one night stand)"

Magenta business card asking you to send an email to someone for a discount on something

Bed Head Born to Rock clean Wife Beater - throw it at your hook up in the monring as clean clothes

"Post Partum" headline screaming from the cover of the Magazine.

TGI Sunday: MTV VMA Week Over

The Finale - InTouch Weekly VMA Post Party

I'd write a real post but they gave away all the pills that keep you awake, lucid, and boring to Britney tonight for her dead eye'd teleprompter speed-read. So on Monday, I'll just review the gift bag instead.

One sighting: Kid Rock, David Spade, Travis Barker, and Jermaine Dupri shared a couch top to watch Leona Lewis sing in the Chateau Marmont garden. Only Jermaine Dupri "hooted" along with her. Kevin Farley tried to squeeze in too, but his heftiness knocked over a bunch of half full glasses on the shelf behind the sofa on to a bunch of girls behind him.

Gift Bag Review, post sleep.

Verizon Wireless Style Villa - Day 2: Now Gifting Babies

MTV Week, Day 5. Hangover Free

Uncle Perez Hilton played with his nephew Liam today at the Verizon Wireless Style Villa atop the Thompson Hotel today. (Sat 6 Sep) . Parents Tori (West Beverly '93) and Dean supervised.

The three were surprisingly very thick friends....who knew?

Some may say gifting suites are "getting old". Not when they are now gifting LIVE BABIES, even to non celebrities. (see below)

We would show you the rockstar offspring tot inside, but that would violate this sites' "No Weddings - No Babies" policy.

Here, E! Practice Squad player Michael Yo (Yo on E! Radio Show, Daily 10 Sub Co Host) picked up a Verizon Slide phone, which he would not give or sell to me even though I try to make him more famous.

See Photos taken by the professionals: Audrina Patridge, all the 90210 kids, Cris Judd, Rex Lee, and my favorite - Daryl from The Office - over here.

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

 MTV Week, Day 4,Hangover 3.

If they ever catch Osama bin Laden, they should make him live in Las Vegas The Style Villa. In honor of the MTV awards, the famed celebrity gifting, socialite, and localite retreat hit LA today (Fri 5 Sep), and continues tomorrow.

One of these things is not like the other. New York (Tiffany Pollard '82), that Mikey Glazer guy, Omarosa (Rayen H.S. - Ohio '92)

Mondrian & Skybar Return

VMA Week, Night 3:

The iconic Skybar of the Friendster era is back! Emerging from the womb for its relaunch, a special stage covered the pool for a performace by Cat Powers and nicest guy in Hollywood ^TM Zen Freeman.

Jamie Foxx (Oscar '05) blew off Access Hollywood's repeated requests to talk and hid in cabana bar instead...

so they had to interview yours truly for comments instead.

Goloka Bolte, (left) answers the unasked question, "Can we leer at your cocktail?" Jodi Thomas, and the Mondrian's own Michelle Schoenfleder help model the $14 thirst quenchers given away free in honor of the rebirth.

EA Facebreaker Game Launch: Celebrity Fight Club

Normally, Hollywood fights are held at Les Deux. When it's famous fist throwers, it usually involves Fallen Lawn Boys. Instead, Celeb Fight Club invaded Avalon last night for the launch of EA Games "Facebreaker" game.


A cross town riot at the House of Blues reportedly began when concertgoers learned there was an opening to substitute in for either Heidi Montag or Spencer Pratt in this fight.

Has anyone figured it out yet....WHY?

A lot of blonde, good clean fun meet for the first time: Mary Carey (CA Gov Race '03, Celeb Rehab '08) and Jodie Sweetin (Full House'90s, Reality Show '08). Only one did rehab on TV. Both are amazingly sweet. Literally.

This Man Will Now Slice Your Chest Open

VMA Week, Night 2:

Dr. 90210, Robert Rey (ASU '83, Harvard MBA, Tufts MD '90) has a wicked lot of degrees, a new skin care line, and a party to promote it. He does not have a calendar.

It's His Party, and he'll dress like Diddy if he wants to. Thompson Hotel last night (Wed 3 Sep).

Over on the carpet, even Jon Warech (UFlorida '02, OK Magazine 'current) and lurking photog Vince Flores know you don't wear white after Labor Day.

Let those without fault cast the first snarky internet comment: Gorging on the Bond St. sushi and free champagne in lieu of that fad, "dinner", is the new cool thing to do.

Joe Francis Orders off the Menu at Coco DeVille

What's for dinner? Apparently some girl's face, if you're Joe Francis.(Laguna Beach H.S. '91, USC '95)

The GirlsGoneWild founder "got wild" himself while holding court on the patio of the Tuesday night hotspot last night (2 Sep).  A few eyeballs in our group saw him literally "eat a girls face".  He didnt eat this girl's face.

TheCHIMP.net file photo.

MTV Employees lurking around: Network starlet Tila Tequila (Singapore '81) and her 'Ronson, Courtney Semel took over Francis' table after he left "in a 40 person limo" (his words). Brody Jenner (Hills 'current) stole Fred Durst's headwearand took shots with a dude-bro at the bar.

Manager Rusty Morrone (Bliss '03, Boulevard 3 '06) continues with his face, and class, intact as the rare "solid" in this stormy sea.

It's MTV Week in L.A.

That means a lot of intense award speculation and nervous nominees partying. 

TheCHIMP.net will provide "spirited" coverage of everything we can sneak in to.

Check the twitter feed often, for sloppy text message updates "on the fly".

Random Thought: Having witnessed the famous kiss from 50ft away inside Radio City Music Hall in 2003, how come nobody remembers Christina Aguilera? Not only was she on stage with them (as was Missy Elliot ??), Christina got Britney's sloppy seconds. The Brit kiss was 1.5 seconds earlier.  I wonder what we'll forget this year...besides everything.
