Jade Goody, whose funeral is scheduled to take place on April 4th, is literally not even in the ground yet, and they've already begun casting for the film about her life. The Mail Online reports that "earlier this week it was revealed that trustees of the 27-year-old reality TV star’s estate want to turn her second autobiography, Catch A Falling Star, into a movie."
Earlier this week? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Goody pass away just one week ago? That means that days after her death, her trustees were on the phone, not with the funeral home or grieving family members, but with producers and castin...
Authorities have released the transcripts to calls placed to emergency services by workers at the ski resort where actress Natasha Richardson fell and hit her head. The transcripts give a pretty detailed time line of what went on, noting that the resort staff called for an ambulance immediately after she took the spill, at about 1pm, but when medics arrived, there was no one to treat. Ten minutes later, the call was canceled because Richardson reportedly said she "felt fine" and refused treatment.
This is where the timeline gets a little confusing. The article says that t...
You'd never know it if you look at the numerous skin-deep attempts at philosophy he posts on his account, or the fact that his relationship with Jennifer Aniston ended in part due to his obsessive posting, but not only is John Mayer not addicted to Twitter, he told E! that he thinks it's "silly and dumb", and "one step away from sending pictures of your poop."
"It’s inherently silly and it’s inherently dumb," the singer told me last night at the One Splendid Evening benefit for the VH1 Sa...
In what may just be the best case of prophetic naming this TV season, NBC's reality cooking show Chopping Block has been, well, put on the chopping block. The show debuted March 12th and aired only 3 episodes before being cut from the lineup. NBC plans to run old episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent in its place.
Did anyone actually watch this show? I only knew it existed because Best Week Ever once lampooned how everyone on the show would incessantly make cheesey puns based on ...
Star Magazine is reporting that Angelina Jolie is contemplating giving a "sizeable donation" to octo-mom Nadya Suleman to help with childcare and medical costs:
Star has learned the actress is seriously considering donating thousands of dollars to the overwhelmed 33-year-old single mom, whose brood includes 2-month-old octuplets.
"Angelina is worried about the best interests of the kids," explains a source. "As a mom of six, she knows how chaotic and costly raising a big family can be."

Of all the people you could pick to stalk, why Shawn Johnson? Not that the inner workings of a stalker's mind are at all rational, but I've often wondered what it is that triggers these people to become fixated on random d-list celebrities.
Last week, Wendie posted about Robert O'Ryan being arrested while trying to sneak on to the set of Dancing with the stars in an attempt to meet up with 17-year-old wholesome as American flags wrapped in babies and baked in apple pie Shawn Johnson.

In the opening monologue of Tuesday night's Late Night with Douchebag Who Will Never Be As Awesome as Conan O'Brien,"Jimmy Fallon told a joke about an airport in Prague called the "Franz Kafka International Airport":
"A new study has ranked the Franz Kafka International Airport in Prague as the world's worst, due to long lines and lost luggage. It must be bad, because the second worst airport in the world? The Hudson River!"
The only funny thing about this "joke"-- aside from the irony that it crashed...
A couple of Natasha Richardson stories for you to get the weekend started off right. And because, unlike the undertaker, the media hasn't yet managed to suck every little bit of life's blood from her cold, dead body.
I give it about another two weeks before she stops popping up on Morning Express with Robin Meade.
First, an Ohio couple is crediting Richardson with saving their daughter's life. After the dad of the year whacked his daughter, Morgan, in the head with a baseball while playing ...
I'll tell you what I love most about my job: Sometimes I get to type out headlines like these, and they're real. And I just read them over and over again and think, "My God, is it really my job to type out those words in that order?" But it is. The ShamWow guy. Beat up. A hooker. He beat up a hooker. He did. And then she beat him up back! ZOMG.
Meet Vince Shlomi. He's probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently traveled with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai Hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit ... notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face ... After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse. "Both parties had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons," police reported.
They were both arrested for felony aggravated battery, but prosecutors declined to file formal charges against either.
Still.
The ShamWow guy beat up a hooker.
Money, folks, can't buy you anything that matters.

My beautiful and talented friend, Ranae Shrider (aka the girl from the Mini-Me sex tape) (aka the girl who sent me my favorite picture in the whole world), is rumored to be getting her own reality TV show.
I don't know what the hell it could possibly be about, but I looooove this.
Seriously, people, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned by a midget. You can quote me on that. Look, you spend a year fucking a midget and he still won't take you to his damn film premieres? Don't get mad: L...
I have to admit I was a little shocked that Michael Sarver went home on Idol last night. I was never a gigantic fan of his, but I guess I assumed he'd get enough of the "hot guy" vote to get him into the top 6 or 7. I think probably he wasn't non-threatening enough. That award goes to Kris Boring. (No seriously I don't even know his last name, that's how boring I find him.) But whatever, Mikey's going home, and you better believe he's gonna be laying some pipe, just not on his oil rig.

OMG, Madonna.
I know you just went through a divorce. Divorce is really hard. And it is reasonable to rebound with a younger man. It is reasonable to rebound with a younger woman. It is not reasonable to rebound with a toddler.
As Wendie reported earlier, it appears Madonna is moving forward with another Malawi adoption, this time a four-year-old girl named Mercy.
A Malawi court has scheduled a hearing for Monday to take up the Material Mama's petition to add an orphaned girl to the b...
