Ebony And Ivory, Party Together In Perfect Harmony

57234116rosieodonnell421200983451am-1 I love me some Rosie O'Donnell.  I was one of the seventy-three people that watched her variety show the night before Thanksgiving when I could have been making pumpkin pies instead, and didn't totally hate it.  Well, I hated it but was willing to forgive and move on.  Until today. Has Rosie finally made the transition from daytime talk-show host to full-time Oompah Loompah?  Was she confronted in a dark alley by a spray gun wielding Lindsay Lohan?  Is she trying to make a statement ...

Chris Brown And Rihanna Spent The Night Together. Of Course They Did.

56685453rihannachrisbrown421200975131am-1 Source is everything.  If Star was reporting this, I'd be totally dismissive.  But paparazzi agency Bauer-Griffin, the people who make it their life to stalk celebrities, claim that Rihanna and Chris Brown spent the night together last week. Shortly after arriving back to L.A. from Kansas... Rihanna went house mansion-hunting in the Hollywood Hills. The singer checked out several properties (many of which were in the $5 million price range). Meeeeeeanwhile, Chris Brown had been holed up in the swanky Sofitel Hotel. But, Chris checked o...

The Soloist Premiere

57234787halleberry421200970223am-1 My husband and I have been together over five years and have never been to the movies together.  It takes an act of God or Robert Downey, Jr. to get me to watch movies in a communal and over-air conditioned setting.  But this could be the weekend that I break rank and actually go to the movies.  Do you think they'll let me bring in my Snuggie? Last night was the premiere of The Soloist, a movie that sounds fascinating to me.  It's a true story of a musician, played by Jamie Foxx, a pro...

Selling Out Mary Carey

mary-carey-pole-dancing-holding-drink-2-b Mary Carey, the porn-star-turned-gubernatorial-candidate-turned-rehabette on VH1's Sober House, was spotted getting wasted and pole-dancing at JET Nightclub in The Mirage. Says a spy: “She was doing shot after shot but managed to hold onto her booze while working that pole like the pro that she is. She had a huge wardrobe malfunction in the underwear department. Every time she kicked her leg up in the air the nearby partiers got an up close view of her naughty bits.” Now I've said it before and I'll say...

The Craigslist Killer in Custody

3_61_041609_craigslistkiller The much-talked-about Craigslist killer suspect is currently in custody, as of today, although police are refusing to release details about his identity. The man is suspecting of killing a woman in Boston last week after answering her ad for "massage" service on Craigslist. Authorities believe the case is connected to the attempted robbery Thursday in Rhode Island of an exotic dancer by a man responding to an ad she had posted on Craigslist. I'm kind of surprised with all the attention surrounding this st...

Andy Roddick Makes It Official

andy_roddick_brooklyn_decker Looks like a happy ending for everyone. At least this week. Just over a month after his ex-girlfriend Mandy "Suckfest" Moore got hitched to Ryan Adams, Andy Roddick tied the knot with his girlfriend, model Brooklyn Decker. The athlete, 26, wed his longtime girlfriend, Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker, 21, in an intimate ceremony Friday evening ... "It was really simple but beautiful," a source tells Us. "Just close friends and family." Roddick and Decker exchanged platinum weddi...

Quotables

"As co-executive director of Miss CA USA and one of the leaders of the Miss CA family, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss CA USA 2009 believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman. Although I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit, I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone. Religious beliefs have no place in politics in the Miss CA family." Keith Lewis, the Executive Director of Miss California USA/Teen USA, in a statement regarding this. In fairness, if we really wanted to keep religious beliefs out of this, Perez Hilton never should have been able to ask that question. It was a loaded gun. Keith works for Miss California USA, not at the national level, so it's not like he could have had a say in this anyway. But you know that the Miss USA organization approved Perez's question beforehand. They were asking for a powder keg like this to explode. />"As co-executive director of Miss CA USA and one of the leaders of the Miss CA family, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss CA USA 2009 believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman.

Stephen Hawking Hospitalized — It’s Serious

stephen_hawking Our thoughts and prayers are with brilliant physicist Stephen Hawking and his family, as he has been hospitalized near London for a chest infection he's been fighting for several weeks. Professor Hawking, 67, has lived with ALS (or Lou Gehrig's Disease) since the age of 21, and has been almost entirely paralyzed for most of his life. "Professor Hawking is very ill," said Gregory Hayman, Cambridge University head of communications. "He is undergoing tests. He has been unwell for a couple of weeks." T...

New Dan Brown Novel Expected in September!!!

dan_brown1 I know we don't normally cover the literati around here, but I'm sure I'm not alone in LOVING Dan Brown's books. He's the guy behind The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, and plus I've read some of his techno-thriller older stuff and it is like crack too. I haven't had much time for pleasure reading lately with all the damn work I've had on my plate, but I will definitely put down the computer and pick up the Kindle for this new one. I feel like the Dan Brown books are like Harry Potter or Twili...

OK, Now I Really Hate This Miss California Bitch

12baf2f7-1d20-41f9-b5ba-ae90adefa185 Listen, it's no secret around here that I'm pro-gay-marriage (which I like to call being pro-equal-rights). So of course I firmly disagreed with Miss California's decision to speak out against gay marriage in the Miss USA competition last night. I vehemently disagree with Carrie Prejean, but it took balls for her to stay true to her beliefs in a room that you better believe was jam-packed with gay men. I suppose there is a teeeeensy tiny bit of credit due there. She tells Access Hollywood today:...
