Are Amanda and Doug Over?

amanda_doug1 Something is very fishy here. Just on Tuesday, Amanda Bynes and her boyfriend, loser Doug Reinhardt, were looking all lovey-dovey on the red carpet for a charity event in LA. Then, today, Us Weekly reports that they're over. "She ended it. She had had enough," a source close to the actress says. "Her friends didn't trust him. Everyone thought he was using her for celebrity. He was not good, and she was over it. It was definitely her who ended it." So, either this "break-up" is a huge publi...

Life on Mars???

alien Very cool! NASA scientists are expected to announce today that they believe they have found life on Mars! The scientists suspect alien microbes are alive and kicking just below the soil of the big planet, after large quantities of what is believed to be the organisms' waste products were detected. The organisms - called methanogens - are suspected to have been living in water beneath underground ice, where they are disgorging tonnes and tonnes of methane. On Earth, methane is produced in massive quan...

Is Whoopi Goldberg Getting Desperate?

I can't quite make sense of this. She's still doing well on The View, but Whoopi Goldberg has announced she'll star in a new sci-fi series ... on the Internet.
Two decades after first appearing on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," the Oscar-winning actress is producing and starring in a new sci-fi series called "Stream" that premieres on January 15 on the horror website and video-on-demand network FEARnet. The series comes just over a year after Goldberg, 53, said she was retiring from acting to concentrate on hosting the daytime chat show "The View," a gig she took over from Rosie O'Donnell in September 2007. Goldberg said the idea of performing in a new medium really appealed to her, as did the chance to act in sci-fi and horror -- two of her favorite genres. "I did retire. I hadn't made a movie in quite a while, and I lost my way with the things I was doing. It became entertainment by rote, and there wasn't a lot being done that I was interested in doing," Goldberg told Reuters in a telephone interview. "But the idea that you can be at work and check out a webisode tickles me because that is the future. ... I can reinvent my way of acting so that I challenge myself and see where it takes me for the second half of my life."
This sounds like some desperate-ass Tara Reid shit that she's trying to spin, but why would Whoopi need a gig like this? I have to admit, I absolutely loved Whoopi as Guinan in the Star Trek series, though. Yes, I'm a huge Trekkie dork. But I doubt I'll be tuning into an Internet horror series. I'd just as soon watch that horror spoof that the cast of Newsies made on-set. (I'm serious.) Will you watch? />I can't quite make sense of this.

Jackie Chan as Mr. Miyagi?

jackie_chan Word on the street is that action hero Jackie Chan is gonna land the role of Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid remake that will star Jaden Smith. The role was originally played by the irreplaceable Pat Morita, who died in 2005. Personally, I don't really care who plays Mr. Miyagi. I find Jaden Smith so eternally and hopelessly annoying that I wouldn't see this movie even if Brad Pitt's erect penis played Mr. Miyagi. What do you guys think of this decision? ...

What, No Cigarette?

90112X3 The last time we saw Salma Hayek with her daughter, the adorable and incredibly wealthy Valentina Pinault, she was puffing away on a cigarette not two feet from the little girl. So it's nice to see her nicotine-free with little V as she catches a flight at LAX on Wednesday. Although, with a billionaire father and a sex-symbol mother, a little bit of early nicotine poisoning will probably be the least of this kid's problems. Image via Bauer-Griffin...

Kelly Rutherford’s Divorce Makes Me Glad I’m Single

kelly_hermes I was hanging out with a girlfriend the other night, and she was all pissed off and stressed out that her boyfriend had ditched her to hang out with some friends from his flag football team -- many of whom are female. He's a good guy, too, and a good boyfriend, but she was just really annoyed and frustrated with him, and I totally understood. "You know," I said, "shit like that makes me really happy I'm single. Sometimes I wish I had a boyfriend, but most of the time now I'm just glad I don't ...
