One Big Happy Family!

There's no better way to ask America nicely to stop talking about your no-longer-estranged husband's stay in sexhab than to show up courtside at a Knicks game with your two young children. David Duchovny and Tea Leoni brought their kiddos, Madelaine and Kyd, to watch the Knicks play the Pistons in New York on Monday night. Those are very cute kids, although they do look terribly bored to be there. Also I always think it's kind of shitty to drag children into a PR stunt, but I guess I ...

Britney’s Dancers Getting Drug-Tested (Read: Fired!)

Bad news for everyone who made it onto the Britney Spears dance team this season: they're drug-testing. A source tells E! News that, in an effort to keep the on-track pop star free from negative influences, her camp is requiring that all of her backup dancers submit to drug tests. "They all had to be drug tested and, if they didn't pass, they were fired," the insider says. "I think they only do it for her because she is under strict watch. I think they just want good influences around her," t...

Merry Christmas! Here’s Hitler!

Valkyrie, Tom Cruise's painfully ill-fated Third Reich flick, has made a last-minute decision to open on Christmas Day rather than later that week. Um ... who goes to the movies on Christmas? If you guessed "Jews and families with small children and other demographics who would rather stare at a bathroom wall than your Hitler movie, dude," you'd be correct. You should also consider shooting an email over to the folks at United Artists, since apparently they didn't get that memo. This is going to be a re...

Who Are You Sick People Buying Lindsay Lohan’s Leggings?

Despite the fact that the economy is crumbling beneath our very feet, Lindsay Lohan's absurdly over-priced leggings are selling like hotcakes. "They're blowing off the shelves," says Jill Lowe, publicist for high-end Hollywood boutique Intuition. The Marilyn Monroe-inspired leggings - which cost anywhere from $44 to $132 - are also flying out the doors at Henri Bendel, Nordstrom, Intermix and Lisa Kline. From leopard prints to zippered black tights, Lindsay's got a lil' something for everyone with 35 styles in various colors and patterns. Across the board, stores say,...

Katie Holmes Is Broadway Gold!!!

Despite early rumors that they were having trouble selling tickets, Katie Holmes and All My Sons have turned a profit in a shockingly short amount of time. The show's producers officially announced today that the revival of Arthur Miller's play has entirely made back its $3.25 million investment. This is very very impressive, especially given the state of the economy, and what's happening with the rest of Broadway. "When everything is closing around her," remarked a star in one of the many Broadw...

Is Fran Drescher Gunning for Hillary’s Spot in the Senate???

It sure looks that way! “I’ve just been given the appointment of U.S. diplomat,” she said at a party for Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven at that restaurant on December 3. “My title is public diplomacy envoy for women’s health issues, and I just got back from a four-country European tour of duty. I believe next I’ll be sent to the Middle East.” Also an anti-cancer activist, Drescher has been considering a run for office. “I’ve been ver...
