Sometimes I worry I have too much time on my hands, but then something happens to make me feel better about it. Like when the kids over at the Celebrity Baby Blog notice that the chick who played Rayanne on My So-Called Life had a baby. Her real name, die-hard fans will remember, is A.J. Langer, and the only reason this news made any paper at all is that she is married to Lord Charles Courtenay, the future Earl of Devon and proud owner of an even weirder spelling of Ms. Cox-Arquette's first name...
Justin Timberlake announces plans to launch his own television network, JT TV. I announce plans to throw up a little in my mouth. [POTP] Remember Lindsay Lohan? [The Blemish] Mischa Barton does her very best Crocodile Dundee. [Celebslam] Anna Nicole was cheating ... on TRIMSPA! Leave it to CourtTV to get the hard facts in this case. [TMZ] T.R. Knight is not getting pushed around by anyone anymore! You hear that, Diddy? [Cele|bitchy] Jessica Simpson and John Mayer pose for some Paris Hilton won't have her true commitment to the ground-breaking creation of novel soundscapes diluted by an extended appearance at such self-congratulatory nonsense as the Grammy awards. But you can take her picture real quick. [Defamer] See? Sarah Silverman is funny. I told you so. [Gawker]

It's a rough day in Santa Monica, as MTV Networks this morning announced a round of layoffs which will eliminate around 250 staff positions. Names will be announced throughout the week, with some folks in very senior positions rumored to be on the chopping block. The cuts will impact all networks, including MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Spike and Comedy Central.
Tragically, there are no plans yet to fire Brody Jenner from ever being on television or near Lauren Conrad again. />...
I rarely click on ads on this site. Click fraud and all that. But they are getting better and better. I just now saw one in the corner that said: "Got Herpes? Find Out Who Is Spreading STDs in Your Area." I clicked it, because how do you not click that?, and was directed to YouGaveMeAnSTD.com. Here's their overview:
Welcome to You Gave Me An STD.com. This is a site unlike any site out there. We are devoted to stopping the unnecessary spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Currently there are few options available to the sexually active community to help prevent the spread of diseases. Now there is another option YouGaveMeAnSTD.com.
YouGaveMeAnSTD.com is an online forum where people can tell of their past sexual encounters where they received an STD from a partner who wasn’t honest and upfront with them. As a visitor on our site you are able to search for these alleged infectors by name, city or state reducing your chances of being victimized. Remember the adage "learn from other peoples mistakes."
This reminds me of our old friend here at The Beet, DontDateHimGirl.com, and how we nearly destroyed a young man's future in casual, self-satisfying sexual misadventures by reporting on it. As I'd hate to risk doing that to someone else, I won't call out my fave stories from this new site, but suffice it to say that it's equally amusing. />I rarely click on ads on this site.

I mean, he dated Lisa D'Amato, still the reigning drunk of reality television in my mind. And I'm counting Chyna. So the British pop star checked into an undisclosed U.S. rehab center to deal with his addictions to prescription drugs. Says Lisa: "It was clear he was struggling with his mind. He doesn’t drink, but he needs antidepressants to get him through the day. A lot of the time he seemed on edge."
This isn't Robbie's first time around in rehab. He did a stint there after leaving the band Take That (remember them?).
Robbie lives in LA, so it's possible that he's jo...
TMZ got 'em. They are so all over this. They're kind of anti-climactic. The one chick's all like "Can you respond to the Hard Rock? We have an unresponsive white female." And the other chick's all like "Yeah sure no prob" and then the first chick's all like "It's actually, um, it's Anna Nicole Smith" and then the other chick's like "Oh okay." So, like, pretty much exactly what you would expect from professionals who tend not to become hysterical in situations like this. Listen here. ...

Not that this is even news anymore, but Britney was parting at NYC's Tenjune late Saturday night -- maybe partying a little too much. Britster exited the club and was rushed into an SUV with a blonde female friend. When she arrived at the hotel, she and the friend left, and the paps quickly noticed something was amiss within the car. They zoom in and get a close-up of the backseat of the SUV, covered in vomit. That's hot. Video here.
Brit's former love, Justin Timberlake, had a similar night o...
The Tribune of Nassau published these photos this morning, alleging that ANS had an affair with Shane Gibson, the Bahamian immigration official who approved her application for permanent residency in the Bahamas. This is also the man with whom Dannielynn was allegedly left when Anna left for her doomed trip to Florida. While I'm fairly certain we can count this fella out in the battle for Dannielynn's paternity, they do look awful close....
Turns out the red states aren't Grammy voters. Who knew?
Dixie Chicks killed it. They won every single award for which they were nominated. That's five of 'em, folks. Including record, album and song of the year. So the question, now, is turned on middle America's radio stations: Are you ready to make nice?
