Pink house lemonade stand stolen
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Somebody has made off with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s lemonade stand at that hot-pink-hued house at 1238 North Ave. in Candler Park.
The disappearance was reported to Buzz Central on Wednesday.
The house has been transformed into a sensory-stupefying promotional tool to advertise “The Simple Life: ‘Til Death Do Us Part,” the E! reality series featuring the two Tinseltown babes. Since last week, the homeowners have reported being inundated with visitors at all hours of the day and night.
“The lemonade stand was chained down, and somebody just cut through the chain and made off with it in the middle of the night,” show rep Paul Gendreau said.
The homeowners believe the theft occurred sometime in the early morning hours Tuesday.
“I just have this feeling that someone in Alpharetta now has the coolest lemonade stand in the city,” Gendreau said with a sigh.
Still, the homeowners did not file a police report.
The homeowners would like their property returned. Gendreau is promising a reward. At press time, it was as-yet-undetermined whether that would include sending Hilton and Richie to your home to beguile your teenage son…
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt smackdown
The suits at Time Inc., the parent company of People magazine, spent hump day in a major slap-fest with dozens of Web outlets around the country that had posted the first pictures of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.
You see, the images were leaked onto the Internet. They had already been exclusively sold for upward of $4 million to People in the United States and Hello mag in the United Kingdom for around $3 million. Somehow, a copy of this week’s Hello cover image made its way out of the mag’s headquarters in Britain.
Locally, Star 94 afternoon “Cindy & Ray” co-host Cindy Simmons promptly posted the image (cropping out the Hello mag logo) on her “Celebrity Dirt” column online at star94.com, while Q100’s “The Bert Show” page at allthehitsq100.com more wisely linked to the image already posted on another site.
Our fave New York-based celeb site, Gawker.com not only posted the magazine cover image, but after receiving a Time-ly cease and desist e-mail, also posted all the unpleasant legal correspondence and Gawker’s legal department’s response.
When discussing the dust-up on air Wednesday morning, the ladies of the ABC daytime hen party “The View” took a more conservative approach: Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck held up an orange crayon rendition of the Jolie-Pitt spawn.
While Buzz won’t be tempting fate (or inspiring any lawsuits) by running the image, we can tell you three things about the family photo: 1) Angelina Jolie has a nasty tattoo on her left arm, 2) Shiloh is snoozing in the photo, and 3) Proving there is a God, the ever-perfect Brad Pitt has visible crow’s-feet (which, we’ll be honest, also resulted in our self-esteem surging the teensiest bit).

Pee-wee bows on Cartoon Network
After being shuttered for more than 15 years, the doors to “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” are being reopened.
The show will get new life on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim lineup.
All 45 original episodes will air starting July 10, company officials announced.
“I’d say this is a dream come true,” Paul Reubens, who played Pee-wee Herman, said in a statement.
Reubens, 53, created the bow-tie-wearing character in 1978 as a member of Los Angeles-based comedy troupe the Groundlings. “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” originally aired Saturday mornings on CBS beginning in 1986.
No doubt, those Adult Swim fans who fervently took to online message boards recently to complain about that recent “Saved by the Bell” sitcom rerun experiment on Adult Swim will already be sleep-deprived today protesting another live-action addition to ‘toon TV outlet.
