Remorseful Getty Rebuffed? Sienna's Ex Rebounding?

Remorseful Getty Rebuffed? Sienna's Ex Rebounding?
Will Balthazar Getty's inability to keep his mitts off Sienna Miller's mammaries cost him his marriage? That's the word from TMZ.com, which claims the "Brothers & Sisters" actor has been "desperately" attempting -- so far unsuccessfully -- to make amends with his estranged wife, Rosetta, with whom he has four children, including a 9-month-old daughter.
Seems his supposed contrition over his camera-captured Italian grope-fest with the semifamous starlet has been met with an ice-cold shoulder, even though he's reportedly sent a "flurry" of warm–and-fuzzy e-mails professing his devotion and made repeated phone calls.
The missives are said to contain such standard sentiments as "I love you" and "I miss you," along with a hint about how he'd like to "move back into the house."
As for the calls, TMZ says Getty has been "incessantly" reaching out and trying to touch his spouse, who was reportedly "blindsided" by his liaison with Miller, but that she won't pick up the phone.
It remains unclear whether Balthazar has ended things with Sienna, who is suing over her decision to frolic in public without a shirt.
In related news, has Miller's ex, Rhys Ifans, rebounded with another blonde whose tonsils were pre-inspected by Jude Law?
The actor was photographed on Tuesday afternoon strolling around London with Kimberly Stewart, who despite her best efforts is still known solely as Rod's daughter.
The night before, says the London Sun, the pair partied it up at a local hot spot.
"Rhys was well-oiled as usual and Kimberly was having a big night out. They were dancing together and one thing led to another," a spy alleges to the tab. "They were all over each other. At one point they got pretty carried away with the kissing and the grinding."
Cut to two months ago, and the scene was much the same, only the leading man was different, with Stewart snapped sharing a smooch with Law at a nightclub and reportedly "getting frisky" with him on a stranger's lawn.
But Ifans looked anything but lovey-dovey Wednesday night, when, the Sun says, he blew up at paparazzi as they took pics of him with Stewart outside her London apartment.
"Kimberly rushed inside and urged him to follow as it all began to get heated but Rhys didn't give up," says a bystander. "He kept coming out shouting and swearing and challenging the photographers to some fisticuffs."

Jessica Prays With Tony, jess also reveals Abuse Experience

Jess on prayer, 'amazing' Mayer and being persecuted; plus, Britney linked to her bodyguard, the latest romance rumors with Ryan & Rachel, Justin & Jessica, Jen & John and much more ...
Some women share their innermost feelings with their friends and family. Jessica Simpson prefers to open up to glossy magazines.

Three months after proclaiming to Glamour that she was "in love -- big time" with boyfriend Tony Romo, she's blabbing to the September issue of Elle about her love life, hinting about some pain in her past and gushing about her hopeful future with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
"Most of the guys I dated were captivated by my heart, but they had different ways of trying to get to me. Tony understands me," babbles the newly countryfied starlet, 28. "He appreciates my talent. He's the first person I've spiritually connected with. I'm a girl that loves to be in love. I love love!"
Just how spiritually in sync are the Texas lovebirds, who were rumored to have briefly broken up just weeks after Simpson's fate-tempting "big time" declaration?
The magazine says Simpson and Romo not only attend church together, but that they also pray aloud before meals and at bedtime.
But perhaps Jessica should kneel down and beseech the powers-that-be to deliver unto her some new material.
As she discusses her romantic adventures in the post-Nick Lachey world, which included a yearlong dalliance with John Mayer, she strikes a very similar tone to her Glamour profile.
"I was going through a lot of pain," she tells Elle. "I didn't try anything to change my life other than dating different types of guys and conforming to their worlds. I thought I had to be artsier, more intellectual."
Compare that to what Simpson told Glamour: "I thought that I had to be deeper, more profound and more artsy. You change with the guys you date. [I thought] I had to be more intellectual."
But the stacked singer has nothing but kind words for Mayer, even if she does resort to referring to herself in the third person when talking about him.
"John believed in the Jessica Simpson that's within," she self-affirms. "He cherished our love. He helped make me the woman I am today. John is going to be an amazing man for someone, but I know that I was supposed to be with someone else."
(By the by, in the Glamour article, she credited Tony, not John, for "bringing me back to who I am," which might be an indication that she needs to take a more active role in figuring out who she is.)

Jessica's pooch Daisy looks like she's had enough of hearing about just how awesome Tony Romo is as they pose backstage at Country Thunder.
Jess, who met up with Romo at his team's training camp in Oxnard, Calif., on Tuesday, also slips a bit of a bombshell into the interview.
When asked about the abuse-themed song "Remember That" off her forthcoming and question mark-omitting "Do You Know" album (sample lyric: "It doesn't matter how he hurts you, with his hands or with his words/You don't deserve it, it ain't worth it, take your heart and run"), she tiptoes around the touchy if conveniently country-music-cred-giving subject.
"I had to record that," says Simpson of the tune. "There's nothing on my album that you're gonna hear that I don't relate to or that I haven't experienced. Because the only way I know how to sing is from life experience."
(Which means she must have really been moved by those Pizza Hut Cheesy Bites she once so enthusiastically warbled about.)
Jessica then clams up, insisting, "I don't want to talk about it," before using her own musical stylings to make a loaded admission, revealing, "But I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run."
Simpson, who apparently didn't stop to think that suspicion for the purported abuse might unfairly fall on some of her exes, continues with the mistreatment topic when talking about the public's perception that her double-D-touting dad-manager Joe is in control, a charge she calls "ludicrous."
"He just wants me to be happy," she says. "Our whole family gets beaten, but that just brings us closer. So people are really doing themselves a disservice."
What's more, Simpson believes all the negative nellies have only made her stronger.
"So many people want to bring me down, and I can't wait to prove them wrong," she declares. "If they believe what they read about me, they automatically persecute and torment me."

Waging the image campaign overseas

Barack Obama has packed his overseas trip with presidential images: a helicopter ride over Iraq with the U.S. military commander; a visit to a Holocaust memorial; a meeting at Afghan President Hamid Karzai's palace.
He even found time to sink a three-point basketball shot before cheering U.S. soldiers.
John McCain?
His most memorable picture of the week was riding a golf cart with former President George Bush at Bush's Kennebunkport vacation home in Maine.
If the image campaign means anything, it's been a tough week for the Republican presidential candidate.
"It's not even a close call," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics. "This week at least, it looks like incumbent President Obama running against challenger Bob Dole. That's exactly what it looks like, the future versus the past."
CNN cut away Wednesday from live coverage of McCain's town meeting in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., to cover Obama's news conference in Israel (although it later showed McCain highlights). MSNBC and Fox News Channel briefly showed pictures of McCain's meeting but didn't stay to hear what he had to say, and covered Obama in full.
The TV executives made that decision even though Obama's trip has raised the issue of whether the news media is giving a disproportionate amount of attention to the Democrat. McCain's campaign on Tuesday released a video mocking a media love-in with Obama.
Obama has traveled like a president, ferrying aides and reporters to the Middle East in a white 757 charter plane that displays the motto "Change We Can Believe In." He brought along a large group of aides, including campaign strategist David Axelrod.
The overseas trip was designed to hold meetings with people "who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years," said Obama.
Every stop seemed designed with symbolism in mind. He lit a memorial flame at Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and stopped at a house under reconstruction after it was hit by Hamas rockets. He met with both Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and heard Israeli President Shimon Peres say "God bless you."
"If it continues to go well, Obama has passed a certain presidential threshold," Sabato said. "It's just been perfect. He's even been in Oval Office-like chairs. It has helped him. I think that image will linger."
This week it's simply impossible for McCain to compete, he said.
But Sabato noted the calendar — it's still July. There are many more campaign images to come. CBS News' Jeff Greenfield said he "has a certain skepticism about whether these pictures in July are going to mean much in November."
Obama's confident basketball shot — the only real image that couldn't be planned ahead — may be nice, but will it be forgotten as quickly as his sorry attempts at bowling?
A week like this is probably most important in the eyes of each campaign's supporters, particularly for McCain, Greenfield said.
"It can encourage grumbling, it can encourage backbiting and it could have an effect on fundraising," he said.

Is media playing fair in campaign coverage?

Is media playing fair in campaign coverage?
July 21, 2008, 7:46 AM EST
Television news' royalty will fly in to meet Barack Obama during this week's overseas trip: CBS chief anchor Katie Couric in Jordan on Tuesday, ABC's Charles Gibson in Israel on Wednesday and NBC's Brian Williams in Germany on Thursday.
The anchor blessing defines the trip as a Major Event and — much like a "Saturday Night Live" skit in February that depicted a press corps fawning over Obama — raises anew the issue of fairness in campaign coverage.
The news media have devoted significantly more attention to the Democrat since Hillary Rodham Clinton suspended her campaign and left a two-person contest for the presidency between Obama and Republican John McCain, according to research conducted by the Project for Excellence in Journalism.
News executives say there are reasons for the disparity, such as the continuing story about whether Clinton's and Obama's supporters can reconcile. They even partly blame McCain. By criticizing Obama for a lack of foreign policy experience, McCain raised the stakes for Obama's trip, "especially if he winds up going into two war zones," said Paul Friedman, senior vice president of CBS News.
Obama has traveled to Afghanistan and is expected to go to Iraq. He is also scheduled to visit Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and England. Network anchors stayed home during McCain's recent foreign excursions.
"The question really needs to be posed: Is this type of coverage fair?" said Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va. "This is nothing but a political stunt."
Talk show host Rush Limbaugh said none of this should be a surprise.
"My prediction is that the coverage of Obama on this trip will be oriented toward countering the notion he has no idea what he is talking about on foreign policy and defense issues and instead will prop him up as a qualified statesman," Limbaugh told The Associated Press. "McCain, on the other hand, is a known quantity on these issues and his position does not excite nor fit the mainstream media's narrative on Iraq and Afghanistan, so they simply ignore it and him."
Along with newsworthiness, the question of fairness was discussed within ABC News before it was agreed Gibson would travel, said Jon Banner, executive producer of "World News." Also, if one network anchor decides to hit the road for a big event, chances are the others will follow.
"We have already been in discussions with the McCain campaign to try to afford them the same or a similar opportunity," Banner said. "We have gone to great lengths to be fair and provide equal time to both campaigns."
Shortly after Obama clinched the Democratic nomination, Gibson flew to Miami for a McCain interview, he said.
For each of the weeks between June 9 and July 13, Obama had a much more significant media presence. The Project for Excellence in Journalism evaluates more than 300 political stories each week in newspapers, magazines and television to measure whether each candidate is talked about in more than 25 percent of the stories.
Every week, Obama played an important role in more than two-thirds of the stories. For July 7-13, for example, Obama was a significant presence in 77 percent of the stories, while McCain was in 48 percent, the PEJ said.
Sure, there are some weeks Obama's going to make more news, said Tom Rosenstiel, the project's director.
But every week?
"No matter how understandable it is given the newness of the candidate and the historical nature of Obama's candidacy, in the end it's probably not fair to McCain," he said.
The Democrat has proven an attractive commodity; TV debates involving Democrats this campaign consistently drew more viewers than the Republicans. A Time magazine cover with Obama in 2006 was the second-best-selling of the year, and a Men's Vogue cover outsold every issue but the debut, according to circulation figures reported by Portfolio.com. Newsweek has done six covers with Obama over the past year, two with McCain. A Rolling Stone cover with Obama stopped just short of adding a halo.
If the attention gap continues, the campaign will essentially become a referendum on Obama, Rosenstiel said. While that may serve McCain's purpose — it beats a referendum on President Bush — it could leave the nation electing a president while the media are paying attention to someone else. Past press infatuations, like Howard Dean in 2004 and McCain in 2000, didn't turn into long-term affairs.
TV executives noted that Obama has courted attention, particularly for the overseas trip, more so than McCain. There's some danger involved, too. One Obama gaffe while overseas, or the appearance that he's not ready for an international spotlight, and the media's elite will be there to judge him, said Bob Zelnick, Boston University journalism professor.
Friedman cautioned against reading too much into things like PEJ's coverage index, noting that it's a long campaign. Yet it's an open question about whether Obama is simply a more interesting candidate at this point, partly because McCain has been on the scene longer.
While fairness is the goal, "what are we supposed to do, go gin up some story about McCain to get some rough equality of airtime?" he said. "I don't think so."
NBC News President Steve Capus said he finds it funny this is an issue, considering how much people have accused the press corps — and still do — of being too cozy with McCain. The Arizona senator had been a frequent guest of "Meet the Press."
"We're just trying to do our jobs," Capus said. "There's no question that there's great news value in Sen. Obama's trip overseas. That's why we are doing this."

McCain camp compares Obama to Spears, Hilton

John McCain's presidential campaign has released a withering television ad comparing Barack Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, suggesting the Democratic contender is little more than a vapid but widely recognized media concoction.
Obama's campaign quickly responded with a commercial of its own, dismissing McCain's complaints as "baloney" and "baseless."
McCain's ad, titled "Celeb" and set to air in 11 battleground states, intercuts images of Obama on his trip to Europe last week with video of twenty-something pop stars Spears and Hilton — both better known for their childish off-screen antics.
"He's the biggest celebrity in the world, but is he ready to lead?" the voiceover asks, noting the Illinois senator's opposition to offshore oil drilling and suggesting he would raise taxes if elected.
It was the latest effort by the GOP hopeful to cast Obama as a lightweight with little experience in leadership or governing. It also was risky for McCain's campaign to both acknowledge Obama's worldwide fame and depict it as a weakness rather than a strength.
Campaigning in Missouri, Obama said the ad, released Wednesday, was the latest example of McCain's negativity — a theme his campaign has tried to stress lately.
"He doesn't seem to have anything positive to say about me, does he?" Obama said. "You need to ask John McCain what he's for, not just what he's against."
The Obama campaign ad, released hours after McCain's, shows images of the Arizona senator with President Bush and accuses McCain of practicing "the politics of the past." The campaign said it could air as soon as Thursday.

Lindsay Lohan fires back at police 'gay' remark

Lindsay Lohan said Friday that police have no business getting involved in her personal life, a day after the police chief explained that the paparazzi were no longer an issue — in part because the 22-year-old actress had evidently "gone gay."
"Police chiefs shouldn't get involved in everyone else's business when it comes to their personal life. It's inappropriate," Lohan said in a video shot by paparazzi Friday and posted on TMZ.com. In the footage, Lohan and gal pal Samantha Ronson are trekking through the Los Angeles Airport on their way to catch a flight to Chicago.
The day before, Chief William Bratton said the paparazzi have become less of a problem thanks to Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lohan leading more moderate lifestyles.
"If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody anymore, thank God, and evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don't seem to have much of an issue," he told KNBC-TV.
Bratton was speaking about his refusal to participate in a meeting held by elected officials Thursday that was called to discuss new laws to curb problem paparazzi.
He called Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine's special session — which was attended by the likes of John Mayer, Eric Roberts and Milo Ventimiglia — "a complete waste of time."
Bratton later called a news conference outside police headquarters to clarify his position on the paparazzi. When asked about the Lohan remark — which followed months of tabloid speculation that Lohan and Ronson, a DJ, are dating — Bratton said his sister is gay and he is a proponent of gay rights.
