Ummmmm, is there anything conceivably more awesome than Taylor Swift hanging out of a cab singing this version of West Side Story's "Tonight" as a teaser for the VMA Awards? I think not. MTV hit it out of the ballpark with this one.
There's a matching -- although less phenomenally amazing -- teaser featuring Cobra Starship (nice to see them getting some much-deserved attention) and Leighton Meester:
This is all a great start to the awards show. In general, though, everyone's just going to have to work really, really hard to compensate for the fact that, through forces of nature I will never understand, Russell Brand is being allowed to host again this year. Whatever. Better than Dane Cook, anyway. />

The infamous episode -- which Fox eventually scrapped because they didn't want to lose episodes -- got its first real exposure last night, when the cast did a live table read for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The episode will appear on the Family Guy DVD release, but until then you can check out some of the highlights in the clips below. The setup? Lois agrees to be a surrogate for two parents who then die in a car crash.
As part of her promotional duties for her upcoming film, Jennifer's Body, in which she plays a hot, evil cheerleader who kills her male classmates, Megan Fox stars in this adorable PSA. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't like horror flicks, but I'm excited for this movie. It feels like it's going to be just campy enough to be wonderful. />

So, I'm flipping through the news and I see a headline mentioning "Channing Tatum" and "striptease." Because I am so obsessed lately with watching West Wing reruns (and pining for Aaron Sorkin), in my head when I read "Channing Tatum" I thought "Stockard Channing" and then I pictured the West Wing's First Lady grinding on a pole, Miley-style. So that was funny.
But not anywhere near as funny as the actual Channing Tatum striptease. Apparently about 10 years ago he worked for an all-male revue (with a strict no-nudity policy). This is just like anything you'd see at a standard Chippendale's show -- definitely sexy, but mostly fun and laughable and good-timey and not at all imbued with the intensity and sexuality of a female strip joint.
But ladies -- don't think you're going to get a piece of Channing again any time soon. He married his Step Up co-star and longtime girlfriend Jenna Dewan in July.

Phelpsy and I have a cosmic connection. Let me explain: I was in a nasty car crash last week. Then, tonight, I was at this dueling piano bar and there was this totally wasted chick and she was hanging over all these guys, but there was this one she was paying the most attention to, and I realized his face looked exactly like Michael Phelps, but his body wasn't exactly Phelpsy quality. And then I turned to my girlfriend and relayed my observation. And then I Twittered it, because when I have an i...

Brad Pitt certainly was dressed appropriately for the Time Traveler's Wife premiere in New York on Wednesday -- he looks like he just stepped off the porch of a plantation-era mansion. In typical Brad style, though, he looks remarkably sexy doing it. The thought of what that beard would do to my chin makes me cringe, but I'd still totally have a make-out sesh with him (I always try to look at it as free micro-derm).

Holy hell, I can't even cope this with. Kourtney Kardashian -- you know, the Kardashian sister that's not the really famous one or the tranny one -- is pregnant. She's due around Kristmas Christmas. She won't say who the dad is, although rumors are she's back together with her former flame, Scott Disick (she won't confirm that).
The only thing she'll say is that interested parties will have to watch her new show, Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, which debuts Sunday on E!. (And, if you can...
"I worked very hard on that book. I tested and retested those recipes for eight years so that everybody could cook them. And many, many people have. I don't understand how she could have problems with them. She just must not be much of a cook."
Julia Child, as quoted in a new article in the LA Times, discussing Julie Powell and her blog, The Julie/Julia Project. The blog was turned into a book which has been turned into a movie, Julie & Julia, now in theaters. But Julia Child apparently didn'...
Just in case his political career weren't completely, totally and utterly obliterated already, The National Enquirer -- which has been freakishly accurate in its coverage of this story -- says a secret DNA test proves that John Edwards is in fact the father of his mistress's daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter.
Rielle Hunter is currently believed to be testifying in secret grand jury proceedings regarding whether Edwards used campaign finance money to keep her quiet after she got pregnant. Sh...
Perez Hilton launches his new website, CocoPerez.com, on Thursday. If you go to the website now, there's only a blank page and a login. But I'm sorta computer-savvy, and his developers clearly are not, and so I poked around a bit to get a first look at the homepage. The rumors have been that this is going to be a website targeting women around the 26-year-old demographic, using "longer-form" editorial content, but what it looks like to me is PerezHilton.com but focusing on the fashion world....
FREAK OUT TIME! You guys, Self magazine digitally altered Kelly Clarkson's photo for the cover of their September issue. They changed her body and her face so that she looks thinner and prettier. I think we should all get really upset about this and start bitching about the media's contribution to unhealthy female body images, because this is the first time ever that anything like this has ever happened.
Self's editor, Lucy Danziger, weighs in on the controversy on her personal blog:
Pictures are meant to tell a story, express a feeling, convey an emotion or capture a moment. Portraits like the one we take each month for the cover of SELF are not supposed to be unedited or a true-to-life snapshot (more on that in a moment). When the cover girl arrives at the shoot, she is usually unmade up and casually dressed, and could be m...
