MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL'S RED CARPET PAIN

Maggie Gyllenhaal

Hollywood star Maggie Gyllenhaal had to limp down the red carpet in New York City, at Monday’s Batman premiere, after breaking her toe. Maggie,who stars opposite Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger in the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, suffered the fracture after slamming her foot against some furniture in her home. She blames the accident on her nerves ahead of the film’s big release, telling television talk show host David Letterman on Wednesday, "I’m like this indie actress, and I have this big movie, and all of a sudden I have a broken toe. I think it was because I was nervous about all this stuff. This big, huge movie all of a sudden, and I just walked across the room and I broke my toe." But the star reveals she was too stunned to feel any pain from the break, saying: "I guess it hurt. My boyfriend (actor Peter Sarsgaard) was impressed with how broken it was."

SIGOURNEY WEAVER SAD BY MOMS DEATH

The actress admits she had a "difficult relationship" with her mother, Elizabeth, who passed away last year of natural causes at the age of 94. But in the final five years of her mother’s life they had made peace, and Weaver even held her mother’s hand as she died.Weaver recalls, "I was with her when she died, she’d had a tough couple of years. She was 94 and, luckily, I had been able to spend quite a bit of time with her."She had a very peaceful end, I was holding her hand. She had really lived her life. I miss her but I feel she is still with me."

MADONNA DEVASTATED FROM TELL ALL BOOK

Pop superstar Madonna is devastated that her brother Christopher Ciccone has written a tell-all book about her personal life, according to the singers estranged sibling. Madonna was so upset after learning last month that her younger brother was to publish the explosive book, Life With My Sister Madonna, that she reached out to her father for some comfort. Speaking on U.K. TV show GMTV today, Ciccone revealed: "We do still email but we haven’t spoken (since the book was published). "I did send her an email a week before it came out. She was very upset and expressed it to our dad, but not to me. I did send an email saying ‘I love you and I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you’." But the 47-year-old insists he has no regrets over publishing the autobiography: "I had to write it. No matter how you look at it, it’s about me and my perspective. I don’t consider it a betrayal at all. It’s an honorable representation of our lives… I hope we can be friends again."

Alphonso Guareino With Carson Kressley And Peter Paranicas

On Saturday, August 16, friends and supporters of LIGALY – Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth will gather at Diamond Ranch in Water Mill to celebrate another successful year in the life of this 15-year-old organization that provides education, advocacy and social support services to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth and young adults throughout Long Island New York. ON THE BAY 2008 will be hosted by Diamond Ranch’s Stan Simon and the members of the On the Bay Committee, comprised of co-chair Joseph Pasquino, Honorary Committee members Carson Kressley, Congressman Tim Bishop, NYS Assembly Patricia Eddington, Congressman Steve Israel, Marc Levine, Cliff Love, Deanna Annis, Duke Morell, Arne Besser, Robert Marc, Mario Bosquez, Lizz Salaway, Frederico Azevedo and Edward Wilkerson, LIGALY executive director David Kilmnick and Robert Vitelli. The invitation-only guests will enjoy an afternoon highlighted by a Luxury Silent Auction of premium items and services, sumptuous food and drink, and VIP Guest gift bags. This is the 4th annual On the Bay event, which has consistently boosted awareness, interest and funding for LIGALY – an affiliate organization of the Long Island GLBT Health and Human Services Network, an umbrella group that provides administrative and fundraising support to its three affiliate organizations: LIGALY, the Long Island GLBT Community Center, and SAGE-LI (Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders - Long Island). LIGALY was founded in 1993 to fill several vital social needs, including helping GLBT youth come to terms with their sexuality at the critical stage of self-discovery, and providing GLBT youth with a genuine community of friends and advocates. Most important, LIGALY works to protect GLBT youth from the harassment, violence and murder that too frequently destroy their safety, health, self-esteem, and their very lives, as was the case with the highly-publicized killings of Charlie Howard, Brandon Teena and Matthew Shephard. According to the Human Rights Campaign, hate crimes against the GLBT community rank third, right behind those based on race and religion, and young people are particularly vulnerable to often-hostile neighborhood, school and home environments. To address these issues, the Bay Shore-based LIGALY offers a comprehensive assortment of programs and activities, including peer education/sensitivity programs and others geared to educators and families; leadership development and youth empowerment programs; a comprehensive anti-violence program; a large, fully-equipped meeting center; and a mental health center, help hotline, Internet café, and book and video library. LIGALY also sponsors an annual talent contest, a dance troupe and several newsletters. Hospitality at On the Bay 2008 will feature cocktails by Pearl Vodka and wines by Bodega Catena Zapata, Cousino Macul, and Cavas Hill. The always-popular VIP gift bag will be brimming with products from Jet One Jets, Here! TV, Centaur Music, Red Door Spas, Pearl Vodka and others. The focal point of the day will be the Luxury Silent Auction with more than 100 available goods and services, including: Baccarat wine glasses, a 3-night stay for two at the Canyon Ranch in Lenox MA, Calvin Klein cashmere robe, Joan Rivers jewelry, leather goods and jewelry by Ralph Lauren, a Gucci G-Tag wallet, a dress and handbag by Bill Blass, leather duffle from Marc Jacobs International, a weekend stay for two at a luxury W Hotel, Elizabeth Arden products from Red Door Spas, and 4 VIP tickets to the Hampton Classic.

We love this outfit. Nicollette Sheridan had dinner at Datana's restaurant last night in West Hollywood, California. Nicollette looked stunning in a strapless aqua dress and was accompanied by a female companion. Blue really looks great on the Television star. But we at Times Square Gossip are wondering if she belongs to Jessica Alba's no smile club. Just asking.....

Alison Arngrim

Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oleson on “Little House on the Prairie”) is coming to the Cutting Room on August 13 to do her show, "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch". And she is a great interview. Her one-woman show dishes her experiences on “Little House,” what it felt like to be the bitchiest child star ever (!!), and growing up in Hollywood. And does Arngrim ever know the inside scoops: Her dad Thor was the manager for Liberace and Christine Jorgenson (the first transsexual, who became a cabaret star); her mother Norma was the voice of “Casper the Friendly Ghost,” “Gumby,” and Davey (of “Davey and Goliath”), and her brother Stefan was on the TV show “Land of the Giants”. Born in Queens, New York, Arngrim is also an AIDS activist (her “Little House” TV husband died of AIDS in the 80s) and is on the Board of Directors of PROTECT, which fights for abused children. She's spoken before the N.Y. State Senate about the need for toughening state laws, been on “The Nancy Grace Show” advocating for abused children, and is open about having been sexually abused as a child (not by her dad). She is also a veteran of “The Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island,” and won a TV Land Award. She also appeared in the intro to this year's TV Land Awards.

ROMANCE FOR BLAKE LIVELY AND BOYFRIEND

Blake Lively Kisses Penn Badgley

Happy Couple Blake Lively And Penn Badgley

Blake Lively frolics on the set of 'Gossip Girl' with her co-star and real life boyfriend Penn Badgley while filming a scene on 'The Mall' in Central Park the other day in New York City. The two make a great couple and seem to get along very well together. Nice to see a great relationship in TV land for a change.

JILL ZARIN IS DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION

The Hampton's season is only halfway there and “socialite” wanna-be Jill Zarin of Real Housewives fame (or maybe its infamy) is allegedly burning bridges faster than Sherman when he marched on Atlanta. Stories keep surfacing about her Bridezilla gimme, gimme approach and rudeness to locals and service people. But one story takes the cake. Zarin who is co-chairing the 2nd annual Help for Orphans gala has quickly allegedly muscled out of the way not only the organization’s founder Sarah Ehrlich but her co-chairs and “Housewives “co-stars”– including Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and Bethenny Frankel - in her desperate bid for attention. Last week well informed sources alleged, she had Bravo TV producers lure the event’s publicists to the event site for a so-called walk through to discuss where food tables, bars and camera crews would be placed. Instead the unwitting PR pros with 10x the credits of this erstwhile star were brought into an upstairs room where three cameras were set up. Zarin and Ehrlich then conducted an inquisition that quickly became a vicious tirade from Zarin of the,” Do you know who I am” type deigned to humiliate and embarrass them on camera.When one of the publicists asked for the cameras to be turned off, the crew continued filming and he exited but not before Zarin told him, “You are dis-invited to my party which anyone, who is anyone in the Hampton's, is coming to”. Then Zarin kept pummeling his partner verbally like a fishwife for another 15 minutes with the cameras rolling. Turns out she was looking to build up some steam for the barely watched show by trying to show how powerful a force she is on the social scene. Not. Truth was the guys were turned down by a lot of their tony pals who didn’t want to be associated with the cause by being on the committee with the domestic diva.I tried to get a quote from the PR guys who have an impeccable record reaping the likes of Harry Winston, AmFar and hundreds of charity events while she was still schlepping fabric on Seventh Avenue. But being the gents they are, they would only say how disappointed they were that a fine cause devoted to building orphanages and schools for African children orphaned by AIDS should become a vehicle for someone’s personal fame game.Word from the inside of Nova’s Ark in Bridgehampton where the event is to take place is that the owners of the property were “appalled” that this happened on their property. “This doesn’t happen in the Hampton's especially for a charity fundraiser”, they were heard to say. They are also fed up with Zarin’s demands. What started out as a simple cocktail party is now taking on the trappings of a Vegas style TV expo with Zarin demanding screens set up so that loops of ‘Real Housewives” could be run throughout the party – showing her of course. By the way, for her private party at home to which she “disinvited” her PR team, she allegedly hired three photo agencies to cover her and her “famous” guests. Did you see any pictures?
Editors Note: If your at Polo this weekend, please come by and say hello and explain to us why you are so mean to such good people. On another note, I also hear the publicists have consulted a lawyer and there will be a demand not to air the footage, and possible lawsuits.

WOODY HARRELSON IS LOSER OF THE YEAR

Shaved Legs Woody Harrelson

We really hate this guy.Woody Harrelson makes a run for it as he trys to hide his face underneath his helmet after having lunch at the 'B' rated Newsroom Cafe yesterday in West Hollywood, California. Woody wore a purple helmet and shorts with flip flops and a motorcycle helmet as he makes a run for it from the paparazzi. You would think that going to a street like Robertson Blvd would make him more conscious of the paparazzi presence and therefore more willing to be photograhed. But like always, the loser acts like a real asshole. What do you expect anyway, didn't his father die in jail? The apple never falls far from the tree !
