Prince unexpectedly showed up last night at the Apollo Theater's 75th Anniversary gala sporting a snazzy yellow suit and a diamond studded cane. Wait -- no platforms?
We may not be seeing The Purple One in stacked shoes for a while, because he needs to have both hips replaced. Prince is a Jehovah's Witness, and one of the things that his religion prohibits is blood transfusions. He's been reportedly popping profuse amounts of pain pills and using a cane to manage his discomfort. I wo...
It's a rare occurrence that a box-office upset occurs, but that's exactly what happened this weekend.
The Hangover grabbed the number one spot in ticket sales this weekend with $45M, edging out Up which brought in $44.1M.
Experts in the field are crediting a strong surge in Sunday sales for The Hangover's success. Wasn't there some sort of fairly major sporting event this Sunday? Basketball, maybe? Why was everyone at the movies? Obviously to see my new boyfriend. And I can't say I blame them.

Oh, dear God, this better not be happening, butI have a feeling that Miley and her totally straight boyfriend Justin Gaston may have split up. They've been tweeting over the past day or so and it's not looking good for these kids. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight due to the devastation.
Of course, this frees Miley up to get back together with whichever Jonas brother she was totally having sex with dating before....
Yeah, yeah...I couldn't believe it either.
The newest issue of Rolling Stone is hitting the newsstands this week as well as the astounding announcement that has shocked the nation: American Idol runner up Adam Lambert is not straight. So with the one sentence that everyone has been waiting to hear, "I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay," may I now continue with my business of searching for the perfect mascara and not caring about Adam Lambert's ob...
Madonna gets whatever she wants and she's about to receive her newest acquisition.
You'll remember that Madge lost her original bid to adopt Malawi orphan Mercy, but The Sun is now reporting that Malawi's Supreme Court is set to approve her appeal application this Sunday.
Madonna, 50, whose two-year application to adopt the three-year-old was blocked by a court in March, has been told the news by her lawyer Alan Chinula.
The ruling is set to be announced next Sunday at Malawi's Supreme...
Regardless of whether or not Lance Armstrong actually wanted more children, he seemed happy as can be as he was photographed leaving an Aspen hospital this weekend with his son, Max. Lance was flanked by his girlfriend and baby-mama, Anna Hansen, and his three children from a previous marriage.
Lance immediately created a Twitter page for Max, making him the youngest person ever to have a Twitter account. Priorities, people!

It seems like every time we get a round of rumors about Ben Affleck and Jen Garner calling it quits, we get another set of photos of them walking through a park with their adorable daughters.
Here's Ben and Jen, along with Seraphina and Violet, looking very much the happy family in Boston today.

I just can't stop laughing at these pictures. Here's The Tiz in Milan, promoting an Italian clothing line called Puerco Espin.
Now, I don't know what "Puerco Espin" actually means in Italian. And I'd rather not have anyone tell me. Because right now I'm translating it in my head as Pork Spin, and it's making me think of porkspin.com and that's cracking me up. (WARNING: DO NOT click on that link at work. In fact, do not click on it EVER. Just email the link to someone you really hate, and th...
Joan Collins is vacationing in St. Tropez -- yes, she's still alive -- with her husband Percy Gibson. This cotton candy delight is 32 years younger than Collins.
Does anything appear slightly awry with this couple?

If you've ever entertained the thought of trying to become famous, think about the Gosselins. Their marriage is over, their parenting has been criticized and investigated, even their physical appearances are discussed on forums all over the Internet.
Now the Humane Society of Berks County is responding to complaints of animal cruelty. People from all over the country have filed reports voicing concern that the many Gosselin children are too rough on their German Shepherd pups, Nala and...
I give Britney Spears a lot of credit for rebounding back to some level of sanity, but I've always felt that something was amiss.
I went through the checklist and realized that she's accomplished almost everything required in order to get her Train Wreck Certification: photographed with no underwear under her dress, passed out in a nightclub, suspected drug use and abuse, lapsed into British accents, standoff with the cops, wore a pink wig, slept with paparazzi, stayed in a mental healt...
Mickey Rourke talked with the Guardian about all sorts of things such as monogamy -- he can't wait to start practicing it! -- and death.
In 2006, Mickey lost his brother Joe to a 25 year-long battle with cancer. His grandmother, the woman who raised Rourke and his sibling, kept in touch with the deceased Joe the old fashioned way: via Oijua board. "My grandmother has been the most important woman in my life. I lost her about four months ago, at 99. She was incredibly well read, two ...
