Seriously, it's like they all think this Ashlee Simpson/Pete Wentz marriage is going to work out.
Says Jess: My sister is overflowing with joy. Pete is an incredible soul. They naturally bring out the best in each other. I couldn't be happier."
And says Papa Joe (who's currently in Georgia watching the Masters tourney with Tony Romo): "[Pete] did ask me [if he could propose]. I told him that I would be honored to have him as part of my family."
Heh.
This thing is just waiting to...
Okay. I'm all settled in Seattle now. I slept for like 12 hours last night, which is something I think I really needed to do, and now I'm all set up in my new furnished apartment in Queen Anne. It was the best deal I could get on such short notice, but it's pretty spacious and all the decorations are red and purple. I'm calling it Chez Eggplant. My lease specifically says no smoking and no pets. I plan to both smoke and, eventually, get a pet. I scoff at authority. I'm so badass.
You know ...
So I'm just getting settled into Seattle, which is why posting has been slow.
I rented an apartment in Queen Anne, and I move in tomorrow, so posting should resume as normal by then. Today I explored University Village (explored = shopping) and then went out to Lynnwood to see friends. On this one street in Lynnwood, there is a Red Lobster, an Olive Garden AND a Panda Express. All in one glorious row of culinary genius. I should have rented an apartment on that street. Seriously, whenever...
Seriously, it's like, when there's nothing else going on, everyone just uses the opportunity to try to get their name in the papers by saying something about Britney Spears.
Up now: Moby.
I know, right?
Here's what he had to say to British rag The Sun:
"She's like this Tennessee Williams tragic figure. The fatter she gets, the weirder she gets, the more I love her. I found her moderately appealing in the late 90s, but now I would marry her in a heartbeat."
Yeah, that's right, Moby...
He'll always be Doogie Howser to me, but Neil's decided to speak out against the "stunt casting" (aka Britney Spears) that producers are using on How I Met Your Mother.
"I'm in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed," he says to the AP. "I worry that if they start `Will and Grace'-ing us too much, that the show will suffer. And we're all really proud of the content of the show. I mean, viewership is not our game. It's the network and the studio's game,...
My precious Brittany Snow is sullied by the presence of Rumer Willis at the LA premiere of Prom Night.
What was Rumer even doing there in the first place?
They probably wanted something scary around. It's a horror flick, you know. ...
The couple, who originally filed for divorce in December, have withdrawn their divorce petition.
This makes me kind of happy. They've been together awhile, and it would be nice to see a Hollywood marriage actually work out. It's good to see that they're fighting for it....
David Beckham got a minor traffic ticket in Hollywood on Tuesday.
And it's on the AP wire today.
"There was a traffic incident that took place," said a rep for the police department. "It was a minor offense and David complied with the officer."
Yeah. Today is going to be boring.
...
Here's Brit-Brit out shopping at Sunset Plaza on Wednesday.
If you ignore that her hair's pretty oily, she doesn't look bad. The make-up is nice. The skin looks healthy. And if you can get past the fact that she's holding not one but two lighters in her hand, you'll realize that she has a lovely French manicure, and that thing on her wrist that looks suspiciously like a Kabbalah bracelet is actually a hair tie.
I sure am rooting for you, Britster.

The pop starlet shows off her new blonde hair and eyebrows at a charity concert in London.
It's certainly a less striking look, but I think it works on her. She's been through a lot already this year. Maybe she wants things to be less striking in general.
What do you guys think?
...
I love this picture.
Here's Lionel Richie with his daughters, Nicole and Sophia (age 9) at the ASCAP Pop Awards.
I love how Sophia's trying to give the camera that sexy/don't-fuck-with-me look that Nicole and Paris mastered years ago. She's nine! And this isn't, like, just a one-time thing. She's using that look in every photo of her from this event. It's really, really cute and really, really sad, all at the same time.
Meanwhile: Nicole looks great. Tired, but great. ...
A Disney rep told the Hollywood Reporter this week that a High School Musical 4 was in the works.
Ashley's response?
"We love HSM, but we kind of have to move on. It will always be a part of us that we loved to do."
I assume the reporter asked her the question regarding both she and Vanessa, otherwise she is talking in the royal we for reasons that baffle me.
Anyway, what does Ash think is up next?
"I'd love to do more romantic comedies in the future ... [I love] Kate Hudson Ã...
