It made the news earlier this week when Anne Hathaway broke up with her Italian boyfriend. And good riddance! Raffaello Follieri has been arrested for lying to an investor, saying that he was the chief financial officer of the Vatican. This guy has been doing this sort of sideways sh*t for years. Amazing someone so seemingly beautiful (er, some people think so) and talented as Hathaway would fall for this guy’s crap. Anyhow, police say that because people believed his connections to the Vatican that he was able to purchase properties owned by the Catholic church as huge discounts.
Paris Hilton is denying reports that she tried to buy a Yorkshire Terrier to use as a prop for a photoshoot she was headed to. Last week it was reported that the heiress strolled into a pet store and wanted to impulsively purchase the dog and was turned down - due to her reputation of owning too many animals and not caring for them properly. She responded to the rumors on her blog, “I read [that I was] walking by some puppies for sale, and demanding that I be given a Yorkie puppy to be an accessory for a photo shoot. I wasn’t looking for a new pet. I wasn’t even at a photo shoot that day. Puppies are not accessories or toys and I love my own pets dearly. I treat them as if they were my children.”
Hmph. I have always figured this Blind-Item was about the dumb twat . .

DMX is one dumb dawg.
He was arrested in Miami yesterday for driving without a valid driver’s license.
The moron rapper was arrested last month as well, in Arizona, and was charged with driving with a suspended license and doing 114-mph in a 65-mph zone back in January.
He obviously didn’t learn anything from it. Three days later he was arrested (also in Arizona) for animal cruelty and felony drug possession charges.
