Remember when Katharine McPhee was just a gawky American Idol contestant who had a pretty decent singing voice and you couldn't figure out whether you liked her or you didn't care either way?
I mean, you could say kind of the same thing about Carrie Underwood except, of course, Carrie Underwood's kind of a superstar, and Katharine McPhee is here at a reception for Expedition Blue Planet's "A Night With Alexandra Cousteau," raving about her shoes, which are Steve Madden. I guess I can't wig too much; it's a huge step forward that McPhee's no longer blonde and has gone back to her roots of brunette -- no pun intended.
So yeah. You've come a long way from "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree," girl. But you really need to keep your lips zipped over this whole Steve Madden thing if you ever want to work in this town again.

The ever-eloquent Drew Barrymore on her latest film, Going the Distance, and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Justin Long, showcasing his dong in the very same movie.
Justin Long dong. Justin Long's penis, balls, and/or ass. OK, now. Say it with me: Eurrgh! />...
After what was reportedly a dreadful performance at NYC's HARD Festival, M.I.A. has offered to host free show for HARD attendees who felt ripped off. In addition to the M.I.A.'s crappy performance, a thunderstorm took over that resulted in the show ending early. Although a rep for the performer hasn't been able to confirm that this free show will actually happen, the gesture is generous and totally fair.
Which makes me want to ask you: What was your biggest concert nightmare? When have yo...
The cast of Jersey Shore headed to the New York Stock Exchange this morning to ring the bell and start the day of trading. I have no words, but maybe you do. />...
Look who's totally still alive and kickin' and totally still going on vacations with her ex-fiance! Ahh! It's Tara Reid! Amazing. Tara and Michael Axtmann (who's now just her boyfriend, I guess?) are in Saint Tropez enjoying the same luxuries as even actual famous people. I have to say, Tara's looking pretty good. A little on the skinny side, but good.

Hugh Laurie, the best star of the best show on television, is clearly not just an actor. He plays guitar and piano (sometimes with harmonica) all the time on House, and he's also in Band From TV. If you guys think Hugh Laurie is as dreamy as I do, then you just get excited right now.
Hugh got a record deal, and he's going to record a blues album. There's no word on when the album will be released (I think it should be released about five years ago), but here's what Hugh had to say about it:
"I am drunk with excitement at this opportunity. I know the history of actors making music is a checkered one, but I promise no one will get hurt."
Is anyone else as insanely excited about this as I am? Honestly, the wonders that this album will contain blow my mind already - when it's actually released, I imagine the unicorns will come out of the depths of the forest and Lindsay Lohan will star in The Parent Trap 2. And that's the perfect world, you guys. />Hugh Laurie, the best star of the best show on television, is clearly not just an actor.

I absolutely hate Ke$ha's music. Something about her voice makes me sincerely uncomfortable, but my friends adore her, so I've spent a reasonable amount of time this summer sitting in the backseat of a Jeep, rocking back and forth and humming showtunes to myself while this girl chants or raps or whatever she does on full blast. That being said, I think Ke$ha herself seems like kind of a fun person, and I will tell you why.
She did an interview with Paper back in June (favorite quote: "If people like it, they like it, and if they don't, I can go be an astronaut. So there."), but yesterday they released some outtakes from that interview, and I can get behind a lot of what she's saying.
On possibly going country:
I'm really inspired by country music -- my mom wrote country music -- and I love Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. I think at some point there might be some country collaborations or records in the future. But I'm also really digging being called, like half jokingly, a white girl rapper. I think it's really funny and I'm going to ride that train for a little bit.
On her love for DIY tattooing:
A friend of mine told me you can [create a tattoo] with pen ink and a safety pin and I was like 'That's amazing. I could give tattoos at anywhere in the world at any hotel.' I saw this hot dude recently and I gave him a tattoo sitting in the lobby of the hotel. I was just like 'Can I borrow a pen and a sewing kit?' I think I got an admirer out of that one.
On being a 'pervert:'
I wouldn't say I'm aggressive, but I'm a pervert. I have a gold Trans Am and my favorite thing to do in the world is to drive around blasting Zeppelin or Sabbath, cat calling dudes. It doesn't work, but it's fun.
On her pick-up methods in bars:
I usually do something ridiculous like send him over a shot of whiskey and then spank him. Something like that.
Maybe it's because I think cat calling guys is often the funniest thing to do while driving. Maybe it's because I love Dolly Parton, too. Maybe I'm just a tiny bit of a train wreck myself. Whatever the reason, I'm going to say that Ke$ha somehow seems like a smart, in-control girl, and until she starts giving Nazi salutes or looking like this, I'm going to say she knows what she's doing.
But seriously, if I hear "Your Love is My Drug" on the radio one more time, I'm probably going to cry. />I absolutely hate Ke$ha's music.

So, Bristol Palin has decided to suck even more fame from her surroundings by discussing, now, how she told her mama dukes that she and Levi Johnston were "re-engaged." Bristol, naturally, sits with Us Weekly and dishes on what it was like breaking the news to former Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin (though I was under the impression that Brisol and Levi had done the initial interview about getting back together and claimed that Sarah didn't know -- even at that point? Oh, fuck it, I'm confused and it's all because there's a Palin involved.):
You said you were really scared to tell your mom. How did it go?
I just called her. I said, “Hey, mom, I have something to tell you. Levi and I got engaged.” So she didn’t find out from the magazine.
Her reaction?
She’s apprehensive and concerned about this. She doesn’t want to see me get hurt again. She knew Levi and I had been talking, but she wanted to know if Levi was really sincere about this. I told her we were working on our relationship for Tripp, and she told me, “Actions will speak louder than words.”…
So how is your family reacting to the news?
What I’ve done is starting to sink in, and every family member of mine has so many concerns - and that is scaring me. My dad is on the same page as my mom: They don’t want to see me get hurt. They don’t want to see again what I already went through with Levi… people are more worried for me than they are excited.
Have the cautious reactions made you consider a longer engagement?
Yeah, definitely. I’m realizing now, the more people talk about an actual wedding, how much work it’ll be. And I know Levi and I have a lot to do to rebuild this relationship.
Some still speculate you got engaged only because you’re pregnant.
Levi and I both said we won’t have sex until marriage, and so there is no possible way I am pregnant.
Others say your engagement is a publicity stunt to get a reality show.
We get offers all the time to do reality shows, but it’s not for me. I don’t think I’d ever consider it. It wouldn’t suit our lifestyle, and I don’t want that invasion of privacy.
What if Levi wanted to do one without you?
We haven’t really addressed it, but I don’t think he would want to because it’s not in anyone’s interest to have a camera crew around all the time.
... Yeah, OK, guys. />So, Bristol Palin has decided to suck even more fame from her surroundings by discussing, now, how she told her mama dukes that she and Levi Johnston were "re-engaged."

This is the movie that positively screams, "Vanessa Hudgens still has a career!" Remember her? The dour-faced girl that bangs Zac Efron? Yeah, I had to Google her, too. (I'm kidding; I did not have to Google Vanessa Hudgens. I have High School Musical posters all over my bedroom, duh!)
Sucker Punch, the latest creation directed by Zack Snyder, features Hudgens, Abbie Cornish (who used to date Ryan Phillippe), Jena Malone and Emily Browning, among other notable actresses, and this was the movie that Vanessa Hudgens was referring to when she said she was doing a project that involved physical training by Navy SEALs.
In all honesty, the trailer doesn't completely blow, and Emily Browning in A Series of Unfortunate Events totally rocked my world. Maybe Vanessa can finally shed that pesky High School Musical thing and become a real actress. You saw what Footloose did for Kevin Bacon's career, am I right? That fucker's got his own six degrees of separation.
Anyway. Will you see this movie? />

Crazy. Two Paris Hilton posts in a week, guys. It's like a redux of 2005! And 2006! And 2007! And I'm loving it!
Paris Hilton, who was always one of my favorite celebrity targets, has shed her guise of chaste and demure sobriety, and was photographed on her latest vacation partying it up circa the days of the Trifecta of Trouble (read: back when Lindsay, Britney and Paris were all chummy-chums), and it's fabulous.
The photos speak for themselves, and clearly everything -- and everyone -- has come full circle.
Sometimes? Life is amazing.
