NY Post

NY Post Doesn’t Know Its Texas from Its Elbow . . . or New York

Truth rating: 0

Lesson for the New York Post: If you’re going to take a cheap shot at Lindsay Lohan, at least get your facts straight first. In a piece about Robert Rodriguez filming his new film, “Machete” in Austin, the paper has a “Texas-based spy” who says “celebrities like Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez and Lindsay Lohan ‘have been camped out’ there.” The item even goes on to say, “Lohan’s been lying low, but we’re sure she’ll become a regular at a swanky bar soon enough.” Low blow – and wrong!

Ugly Rumors About Kristin Davis Beauty Contract

Truth rating: 2

It is all make-up with Gawker when it comes to “Sex and the City” star Kristin Davis. In a piece titled, “Cosmetics Company Uses Kristin Davis and Then Kicks Her Out,” Gawker got it wrong and wrong. The story began, “Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories, hired Sex and the City’s Kristin Davis to help their image. Because she worked with the disputed company, she got the boot from human rights group Oxfam International. Now Ahava is giving her the heave-ho too!” Time for Gossip Cop to give this item the heave-ho . . .

Timberlake Moving? JT Not Going to CT

Truth rating: 0

ROBERT PATTINSON NEW YORK PARTY MUST’VE BEEN POST-DATED

Truth rating: 1

There have been so many Robert Pattinson stories recently, it seems like we always know exactly where the “Twilight” star is – which is what makes a piece in today’s New York Post so confusing. The paper places Pattinson in a low-key Long Island City bar this past Thursday . . . the same night every other outlet reported that Pattinson and Kristen Stewart saw a Bobby Long show together across the country in Los Angeles.
