Jon Gosselin Continues His Tour of Teenage Behavior

58201118jongosselin831200995920am The video isn't embeddable, but you must click this link to watch Jon Gosselin do an exclusive interview with ABC Wednesday night. About Hailey Glassman, he says "I love her more than I did Kate." He says Hailey gives him the respect and encouragement "that a man needs," which was obviously absent in his relationship with Kate, and then he harps on about how you can't choose who you love. I don't necessarily disagree with the statements he's making, but, in the way he delivers those statemen...

Melrose Place Remake Goes Up in Flames

Please watch the clip above, from the original Melrose Place, when Kimberly puts a bomb in the complex and everyone blows up. When they were filming this, I'm sure they knew they had thoroughly jumped the shark, but little did they know that, over a decade later, this scene would be a fitting parallel for the show's remake. The Ashlee Simpson-starrer's series premiere scored horrible ratings. In fact, the WORST. The show came in last place in network ratings, despite a ton of hype. (Although I'd been hearing from insiders for months that the CW was crazy to ever even air it -- everyone knew it was crap.) It'll be off the air after another one or two episodes air, if that. Wendie totally called it. In fairness, I predicted this back in April, but at the time I thought they'd get at least a half-season. I'd like to edit that to say I think they'll get at least their first paycheck. Maybe. /> Please watch the clip above, from the original Melrose Place, when Kimberly puts a bomb in the complex and everyone blows up.

John Mayer and Kristin Cavallari???

kristin_cavallari Sigh. I'm just gonna tell you what Janet Charleton told me, and I'm not going to copy-paste it into my text as though I wrote it myself, unlike another, unnamed gossip blogger: If you read Page Six you might remember a recent blind item they printed about secret trysts between a reality star and a well known singer. We are revealing that pair to be John Mayer and “The Hills” star Kristin Cavallari! They have been hooking up secretly at a mutual friend’s house in the Mt Olympus area of the Hollywood Hills for t...

Ellen Degeneres to Judge American Idol

portia_ellen This comes so far out of left field, it's guaranteed to be a home run. As we were all sitting around, shaking our heads and wondering how on earth American Idol could continue to be interesting during its post-Paulum depression, the FOX executives were doing something absolutely genius: They were hiring Ellen Degeneres. Ellen will take the fourth judge's seat after its preliminary auditions phase (so basically she gets to miss out on the worst part.) "I've watched since the beginning and I've a...

Charlie Sheen Seeks Truth Regarding 9/11

57727681charliesheen99200980848pm Friday marks the anniversary of the most deadly act of terrorism committed on U.S. soil.  Like many other devastating tragedies in our history, I don't think most of us will ever forget that day.  As we approach September 11th, Charlie Sheen is looking to expose the truth of what happened on that day eight years ago. Sheen, 44, argues that “the official 9/11 story is a fraud” and claims the attacks served as “the pretext for the systematic dismantling of our Constitution and Bill of Right...

I Still Don’t Know Why Audrina Patridge is Famous

picture-6 When it comes to Audrina's fame, I'm at a loss.  But she's got a hot bod and is willing to pose in the most cliched scenarios -- licking a berry, straddling the washing machine during the spin cycle, eating cake like a bad girl -- so, you know, enjoy.   She's in October's Maxim and didn't say one thing that was interesting enough to repeat.  I'm sure she talked about her new movie Sorority Row, but we don't care about that -- do we?  Some girls don't need to give the insightful interview.  They...

We Can’t Even Blame Her Bitchiness on Pregnancy Hormones

58157989katherineheigl99200970526pm1 A few weeks ago, Beet told us about how Grey's Anatomy actress Katherine Heigl had put on a couple of pounds and quit smoking.  She asked the question that has been milling in the minds of tens of us:  "Could she be pregnant?"  Then, more recently Molls told us that Katherine is taking a leave of absence from Grey's.  More fuel for the pregnancy rumors.  It seems that we were on the right track with our suspicions. Katherine Heigl is not pregnant, but she is having a baby.  She and husba...

Hugh Hefner Finally Gets Around to Divorcing

5584937hughhefner99200945141pm Hugh Hefner and his wife Kimberly Conrad (she's an ex-Playmate, obviously) split back in 1998.  She really has been the original "girl next door" as she lived in a property adjacent to the manse where she lived with their two sons.  Now, after many years of very cordial separation, things are getting a bit ugly.   Hef sold Kimberly's house which prompted her to sue.  He also finally the paperwork to get officially unhitched.  With that, he had to expose his monthly earnings:  Salary...

It’s A Boy!

58060994nicolerichie99200923849pm Speaking of a woman who seems like she's been pregnant forever, Nicole Richie gave birth this morning to her second child.  She and dad Joel Madden welcomed their 7 lb. 14 oz. son early on Wednesday morning.  He joins older sister Harlow Winter Kate Madden.  I'd love to know what you guys think of the new arrival's name:  Sparrow James Midnight Madden.  My opinion?  You don't name a boy Sparrow.  You don't name any child Sparrow. Congrats to the expanding family!...

Anatomy of an Affair?

58070057ellenpompeo99200914050pm Usually, reading the words "Star Magazine reports," is enough to make me discount every single word that follows.  But several months ago there were rumblings that the marriage between Chris Ivery and Grey's Anatomy Ellen Pompeo was on the rocks.  They've been married less than two years (they've been dating since 2003) and are expecting a baby girl one of these days.  As an aside, her pregnancy seems like it's been dragging on for, like, five years.   Anyway, based on that one stupid ru...

R.I.P. Army Archerd

13808348armyarcherd99200910217pm I'm so sick and tired of reporting about death, but at least this guy had a prolific career and full life.  Columnist Army Archerd passed away yesterday at the age of 87. Beyond reporting entertainment news at Daily Variety for an unheard of 56 years, he was also the official greeter at the Academy Awards for 47 years.  He emceed the red carpet for decades and he did it a lot better than Joan Rivers. Notable points in his career include: He broke the story about Rock Hudson dying of AIDS.  At the time, Hudson was the most...
