More drunken behavior: Ryan Phillippe finally admitted why he was jumping up and down, pumping his fists and screaming when his wife, Reese Witherspoon, won a Golden Globe in January (and later an Oscar). “At the Golden Globes I was plastered,” Phillippe told Rolling Stone magazine. “Shirley MacLaine and I drank like crazy, just putting away bottles of wine and making fun of everyone.” Oh, and we’re guessing Phillippe was happy for his wife too.
Drunkenness, part 3: Elizabeth Hurley held up a New York ferry for 20 minutes when she tried to board the boat from Liberty Island with a magnum of champagne and three glasses.

Is Jessica Simpson’s manager-dad, Joe Simpson, planning to hook up with Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to open a Hooters-like barbecue restaurant called Daisy Dukes? Jessica’s rep denies the Life & Style Weekly report, but the magazine claims her dad is making the plans without her knowledge. “Joe’s going to make a lot of money from this,” a source told the mag, “and he didn’t even ask Jessica.” Daisy Duke is the character Jessica Simpson played in the widely panned 2005 movie “The Dukes of Hazzard,” a remake of the old TV series.
