Ricky Martin Shows Off Babies, Doesn’t Mention How Gay He Is

Do you guys ever have those days at work where you're like, "Whatever happens today, I can't possibly do anything productive?" I'm having one of those days. I keep trying to, like, do my job, and something shiny always distracts me. Like, one of the DVD editors for Film.com just got the Blu-Ray version of The Man Who Fell to Earth, which is like this indie sci-fi flick from the '70s where David Bowie stars as an alien living in America with a British accent and everyone just generally appear...

Aging Gracefully

Kim Basinger looks gorgeous and age-appropriate at the LA premiere of While She Was Out. Kim is 55 years old. I mean, there's obviously been a tiny bit of work done here -- Botox, teeth whitening, perhaps some lip plumping and/or brow lift -- but it's all been done very, very tastefully. She looks like an absolutely radiant 55-year-old, not like a 55-year-old desperate to look 22. I love it, and I hope this is how I look when I'm her age. ...

Jay Leno Moves to Primetime

Jay Leno isn't leaving your television anytime soon, kids. NBC announced Tuesday that Jay will get his own show, five nights a week, at 10 pm, after he leaves the Tonight show next May. He'll be replaced on late-night by Conan O'Brien. "A lot of people were shocked," Leno joked on his show Tuesday night. "They didn't know NBC still had a prime time." No word yet on what kind of show Leno will be doing for the primetime slot. ...

Fran Drescher Is Serious About Senate Gig

As I told you days ago, Fran Drescher's publicist confirmed today that the actress is serious about becoming the next junior senator from New York. The publicist cited Fran's experience as an actress, advocate for women's health and public diplomacy envoy for the U.S. State Department. Her competition looks to be Caroline Kennedy and New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. New York Governor David Patterson will appoint a successor if Hillary Clinton is appointed Secretary of State, which looks to be likely. I wonder how much Fran will have to donate to Governor Patterson's campaign fund to get th...

It’s Okay If You Haven’t Lost the Baby Weight Yet, Ashlee

Miz Simpson-Wentz was all wrapped up in layers of black at the opening of Pete Wentz and Travis McCoy's art exhibit at Gallery 1988 in WeHo. She also made damn sure the camera always caught her in profile -- never face-on. I guess I can appreciate her position -- and it's cool that she came out to support her hubby rather than hiding at home because she hadn't yet lost the baby weight. But, seriously, Ash, you just had the baby like twenty seconds ago. If anyone dares to call you fat right ...

Musicians to U.S. Government: Stop Using Our Songs as Torture Devices

So many jokes, so little time. I'm going to refrain myself, given that this is actually kind of an important subject. Just insert your own joke every two sentences or so. It'll make me feel better about passing on all of them. The U.S. government has long been using heavy metal music as a torture device at overseas camps like Guantanamo Bay. Prisoners are forced to listen to bands like AC/DC, Nine Inch Nails and Pantera on full-blast, twenty hours a day. [This is where you insert a joke.] The...

Are Blake Lively and Penn Badgley Dunzo????

Oh noes!!! Reports are flooding in that Gossip Girl's golden couple may be on the rocks!! An eyewitness says they saw Blake Lively hanging out at New York nightclub Southside Friday night, hooking up with a random blond—def not dark-haired Penn Badgley, whom Blake's been dating for the past year or so. Says our N.Y. source, B.L. came in around midnight with a group of chums and was "too busy making out to dance or drink." And that ain't all... Next morning, Lively and Badg...
