Despite a weak opening day, Tropic Thunder came back, fighting off both Michael Phelps and Batman to take the weekend's top box office spot with a $26M weekend take. This is now Robert Downey Jr.'s second number one movie of the summer. Hey, Bob, aren't you glad you're sober instead of dead right now?
The Dark Knight came in second, after four weeks at the top. The film has grossed over $471M in domestic ticket sales thus far. ...
It's been awhile since someone's taken their turn at totally selling out Lindsers, but Courtenay Semel is up to bat now, chatting with News of the World about her "secret" former lesbian affair with Lindsay. I mean, technically, it's a "pal" of Courtenay relaying these quotes to NotW, but you know Courtenay's behind all this.
Oh, and FYI? I totally reported on this in December. Just saying.
Anyway, here's what Courtenay's "pal" claims she was told by Court:
"Everyone thinks Samantha is Lindsay’s first lesbian love, but we were very ...
Hooray for the first pics of the Portia/Ellen wedding on Saturday!
How gorgeous does Portia look???
I want that dress for MY wedding!
Thanks Laura!...
The big story right now is, of course, Michael Phelps, who took home his eighth and final gold medal at the 2008 Olympics this evening -- in world-record style, of course -- but this last win belongs to all four men on the USA men's relay team: Brendan Hansen, Aaron Peirson, Jason Lezak and Michael Phelps. And, just like in the last relay, it was Jason Lezak who was the real superstar, anchoring what he started as a tight race and ending with a definitive lead.
So, for the last image of ...
Congratu-fucking-lations to Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi, who officially tied the knot on Saturday in a small ceremony at their home attended by close family and friends. Only nineteen people were there!
Both brides wore Zac Posen and exchanged rings by Neil Lane. They also wrote their own vows.
I really really REALLY hope they're going to release photos. I want to see pictures of this WONDERFUL occasion!!!
CONGRATS ELLEN AND PORTIA!!!...
It's a family weekend!
On Saturday, Reese Witherspoon took her kiddos, Ava and Deacon, for an hour-long hike through Temescal Canyon in ninety-degree heat.
Dude, Ava is the spitting image of Ryan. I'd never noticed that before, but she's basically a female version of her father. ...
Mrs. Madge celebrates the big 5-0 at a London restaurant with Guy Ritchie, from whom she is clearly no longer estranged.
It has been 25 years since Madonna released her eponymous debut album.
How old does that make you feel? ...
I posted awhile back about how Katy Perry's parents are both Christian preachers, and how she originally sang Christian music. I guess I just assumed her parents understood that she was using a persona to pursue a career, but I assumed wrong. They're steaming mad. Says her mother, Mary Hudson, about her hit song, "I Kissed a Girl:"
I hate the song. It clearly promotes homosexuality and its message is shameful and disgusting. Katy knows how I feel. We are a very outspoken family and she know...
Tom Cruise puts in some quality time with Suri in New York, while Katie puts in some quality time with her beloved rolled denim.
What's with Tom Cruise looking sexy again?
Am I the only one who's noticed this? Anyone else feel the same way?

Here's Selena Gomez and a fan ... and a Leo lookalike!!!! ... at the UR Votes Count event in LA on Saturday.
How freaking cute is that dog???
The doggie looks just like Leo, with one small difference: Leo is cuter. ...
No, of course she's not, but she's wearing a ring on her ring finger and wandering around with longtime boyfriend Mike Comrie, so we just have to throw that out there. It's in the Gossip Blogger Rulebook. If I didn't do it, it would be considered cheating. Like faking a passport that claims your gymnasts are two years older than they actually are. But I digress.
Here's Hilary and Mike leaving dinner on Friday night. ...
After all the rumors about how he'd cheated on Jennifer Aniston left and right, I guess John Mayer wanted to set the record straight. He chatted with reporters after a workout this weekend, saying that "there's no lying, there's no cheating, there's no nothing ... Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I have ever met."
He went on to say that "People are different, people have different chemistry. I ended a relationship to be alone, because I don't want to waste somebo...
