Tobey Maguire went ballistic last night after paparazzi blinded him with flashes as he exited Madeos restaurant in West Hollywood (video on PAGE 2). And I use the term "ballistic" in the loosest possible sense. Being yelled at by Tobey Maguire is like being beaten to death with a Miley Cyrus t-shirt. I'm mildy surprised half the paps didn't break out in laughter and baby talk. "Awwww, poor widdle Tobey."
NOTE: I'd be more sympathetic to these celebrities if half their publicists didn't inform the paparazzi of their every move
Tobey Maguire married his longtime girlfriend Jennifer Meyer in a secret ceremony on Monday night. In Touch Weekly writes:
Tobey, 32, has been dating Jen, the daughter of Universal Studios head Ron Meyer, for four years. They announced their engagement in April last year shortly after she became pregnant. Jen, 30, gave birth to daughter Ruby in November. Sources tell In Touch that Tobey’s best friend, Leonardo DiCaprio, was invited to the wedding, but was unable to attend because of commitments on Body of Lies, his film currently in production.

Ummm, *scratches head*, Ummm . . . hey, it's not always about looks. I bet she's a really good cook.
While on a world tour promoting "the most expensive movie ever made," Spiderman 3, star Tobey Maguire is sure to never to be alone--because he's traveling with a party of 10. From the New York Post:
Maguire rolls with an entourage of 10, including his fiancée, Jennifer Meyer, their daughter, Ruby, and a personal chef who cooks him vegetarian meals. The star also requires "two cases of the water he likes, a rocking chair in his hotel bedroom, and a full-size refrigerator." (Source)
Watch out hotels, resorts, and day-spas, Tobey Maguire's on the loose with his 10-deep posse. It's just like Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent--only instead of the stripper-orgies and Cristal baths, it's more Dora the Explorer videos and mixed-green salads with fresh herbs. Plus 50 is way more gangsta than Tobey; I hear he sometimes travels with two vegetarian personal chefs.
UPDATE (Now with more assault!): Apparently I should have warned Tobey's fans to watch out, too. Check out the video here to see what I'm talking about.
Did you know Tobey Maguire once did a stint in rehab--before he was 21? Neither did I. He told the New York Daily News:
"I have an addictive nature. An obsessive-compulsive nature - well, I don't know that's what it is clinically. But I go to addictive extremes, and before I got sober, that became routine." So how are those 12 steps going, Tobey? "I still have people to apologize to," he laughs. (Source)
Damn this story has stirred up some demons within me I thought I had buried long ago. See, I also have an addictive nature. It's what forced me to drop out of the competitive Boggle circuit a few years ago. What started out a simple way to pass a Saturday night amongst friends became so much more. The cacophony of lettered blocks smashing against the clear plastic top before gently settling into the 4x4 grid became like a drug to me--the "thrill of the find" is what us junkies called it. Nouns, verbs, adjectives--it was all the same to us. Oh shit, L-O-O-S ... it can't be--YES! it's "L-O-O-S-E" 5 points!--how did I almost miss that?!? When I sold my body to pay for a plane to ticket to the National Championships in Albuquerque, I knew I had hit rock bottom.
