Amy Winehouse Hospitalized for Reaction to Medication

Amy Winehouse was hospitalized in London on Monday night for what her reps are calling a "reaction to medication." And you know what? I believe it! If you have a medical background, you'll know that it's actually not at all uncommon for people to have a reaction of some kind after self-medicating with crack-cocaine. "Doctors have advised that she will be kept under observation overnight and is likely to be released tomorrow," her reps said in a statement. Sigh. Get better, Am...

Things That Disney Will Love: Miley Cyrus Offered $1M Contract to Rep LifeStyles Condoms

Talk about thinking outside the box! And by "thinking outside the box" I of course mean "thinking about 15-year-olds having sex." Which is kind of like thinking inside the box, actually. Thinking inside the very underage box. LifeStyles has offered Miley Cyrus a $1M contract to be a spokesperson for their condoms. “Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex,” said Carol Carrozza, VP of Marketing for LifeStyles Condoms. “With r...

John Stamos Is Lying

Rebecca Romijn has a habit of marrying men who lie to the media. First, her current husband Jerry O'Connell lied and told us he and Rebecca were "trying" to get pregnant, when he knew full well she was already knocked up. And now, her ex-husband John Stamos is lying and saying he's happy that she's preggers with twins. "I'm happy for all four of them," John says in a statement to E!. "I wish them the best." Translation: "I hope their babies are fat. Like Jerry was when he was a ki...

New Whitney Houston Featuring Akon: “Like I Never Left”

What's the verdict, kids? Does Whitney still have it? This whole thing kind of falls flat for me, honestly. The song itself is boring, and Akon's totally out-singing her. Whitney just doesn't have the pipes like she used to. And I guess that can be blamed on another kind of pipes. Sadness. (BTW, the video is just a montage, it's not for this specific song.) /> What's the verdict, kids? Does Whitney still have it? This whole thing kind of falls flat for me, honestly.

Jessica Simpson’s Country Album Cover

It's here! It's here! It's here! The cover of Jessica Simpson's debut country album, do you know. I can't decide what is more frustrating to me here: the fact that there's not a question mark at the end of the album title, or the fact that this photo was thisclose to being an upskirt. I know, I know. I find the stress of my life overwhelming, too. When I get stressed out, my mom tells me to sit back, breathe deeply, and think about the things in life I am grateful for. So, I...

Dayum!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing hot men projected as sexy pieces of meat. So I'm pretty thrilled with this new Nelly ad for Sean John. "To me, Nelly is the quintessential definition of the Sean John man," says Diddy. "And let's be honest, all of the ladies out there are going to be thanking us for this campaign." Yes indeed. Thank you, Diddy. But next time let's do this shot without the underwear, k? You can just have someone draw your logo onto his wee-wee with marker. ...

W. Trailer

The teaser trailer for Oliver Stone's W. -- a biopic of George W. Bush -- was released today, and it looks to be quite a doozy. What are your thoughts? /> The teaser trailer for Oliver Stone's W. -- a biopic of George W. Bush -- was released today, and it looks to be quite a doozy. What are your thoughts? ...

Colbie Caillat Was Once Rejected from American Idol

I love stories like this! Colbie Caillat is one of my favorite new artists, and it turns out she was once rejected from American Idol. In fact, she didn't even get in front of the main judges -- she was rejected by the pre-screeners. A couple years (and 40 million MySpace plays) later she had a record deal and a booming career as a singer/songwriter. "It happened so fast," she says. "I was just writing songs and putting them up on MySpace, and then I got a record deal. Then it was like, 'Whoa, you're going on tour with the Goo Goo Dolls this summer.' So it was brand-new, but now it's b...

Extreme Makeover House Faces Foreclosure

Do they ever do "Where Are They Now?" episodes of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition? I often wonder what happens to those people after they suddenly go from lower-middle class to gigantic, fancy home ownership. Some of them, it turns out, have the good sense to put their entire home up as collateral for a $450,000 loan and then default on it.
More than 1,800 people showed up to help ABC's "Extreme Makeover" team demolish a family's decrepit home and replace it with a sparkling, four-bedroom mini-mansion in 2005. Three years later, the reality TV show's most ambitious project at the time has become the latest victim of the foreclosure crisis. After the Harper family used the two-story home as collateral for a $450,000 loan, it's set to go to auction on the steps of the Clayton County Courthouse Aug. 5. The couple did not return phone calls Monday, but told WSB-TV they received the loan for a construction business that failed.
"It's aggravating. It just makes you mad. You do that much work, and they just squander it," Lake City Mayor Willie Oswalt, who helped vault a massive beam into place in the Harper's living room, told a local paper. It's so sad that you can't build good sense with a hammer and nails. />Do they ever do "Where Are They Now?" episodes of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition?

Ryan Seacrest Bit by a Shark Tragically Survives

I'm going to leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine where the commas go in the above header. Ryan Seacrest got bit by a shark while swimming in the ocean this weekend. "He took a bite, and he left," said Ryan on his radio show this morning. He said he later found one of the shark's teeth in him. "It was like finding a splinter!" You know this is all a total cover-up. Ryan's sex party got a little out-of-hand Saturday night, and he needed to explain away the strange bite ma...
