If you enjoyed listening to the Film.com podcast I sat in on a couple weeks ago, you'll be delighted to know that the Film.com podcasting team of Laremy, Natalie and Garrett once again invited me to be a special guest on the podcast. You can check it out here. The interview with me is in the last ten minutes or so. We talk strippers, American Idol and, of course, my obsession with Toddlers & Tiaras. />If you enjoyed listening to the Film.com podcast I sat in on a couple weeks ago, you'll be delighted to know that the Film.com podcasting team of Laremy, Natalie and Garrett once again invited me to be a special guest on the podcast.

"As co-executive director of Miss CA USA and one of the leaders of the Miss CA family, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss CA USA 2009 believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman. Although I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit, I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone. Religious beliefs have no place in politics in the Miss CA family."
Keith Lewis, the Executive Director of Miss California USA/Teen USA, in a statement regarding this.
In fairness, if we really wanted to keep religious beliefs out of this, Perez Hilton never should have been able to ask that question. It was a loaded gun. Keith works for Miss California USA, not at the national level, so it's not like he could have had a say in this anyway. But you know that the Miss USA organization approved Perez's question beforehand. They were asking for a powder keg like this to explode. />"As co-executive director of Miss CA USA and one of the leaders of the Miss CA family, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss CA USA 2009 believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman.

What do we think? I quite LOVE it. Sexy and fun and creative and she looks fantastic. I love everything Kelly Clarkson touches. />...
If you caught the final episode of the Style network's new hit Running in Heels tonight, you know that what was once supposed to be a documentary-style show about three Marie Claire interns in NYC ended up being something of a competition: Only one of them was chosen to continue working at the famous fashion pub. The winner was the fabulous Talita Silva, and I had a chance to sit down with her in LA this weekend, just hours before the finale aired.
We talked about who she is versus who was portrayed on camera, her real opinions on the other interns, and the twists of reality TV in general. Of course I made her spill about her dating life, and she shows us some of her awesome tats. She talks a bit about her past, about what made her who she is today, and how she stays true to herself in a high-pressure, image-driven industry. />

"I don't want to turn her into a glamour-puss. We're all rooting for the underdog here."
Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, discussing the curious case of frumpipuss Susan Boyle, who captured the world's heart as a 47-year-old virgin who can sing her heart out. (Video is here.)
I'm also interested to see if the sales of the Les Miserables soundtrack have skyrocketed this week. I betcha they have!
Above find an interview that Susan did on Scottish TV. I personally cannot understand a word of it. I speak English, dammit, not Scottish. If anything interesting happened in there, let me know. />

Our thoughts and prayers are with brilliant physicist Stephen Hawking and his family, as he has been hospitalized near London for a chest infection he's been fighting for several weeks. Professor Hawking, 67, has lived with ALS (or Lou Gehrig's Disease) since the age of 21, and has been almost entirely paralyzed for most of his life.
"Professor Hawking is very ill," said Gregory Hayman, Cambridge University head of communications. "He is undergoing tests. He has been unwell for a couple of weeks."

I know we don't normally cover the literati around here, but I'm sure I'm not alone in LOVING Dan Brown's books. He's the guy behind The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, and plus I've read some of his techno-thriller older stuff and it is like crack too. I haven't had much time for pleasure reading lately with all the damn work I've had on my plate, but I will definitely put down the computer and pick up the Kindle for this new one. I feel like the Dan Brown books are like Harry Potter or Twili...
Listen, it's no secret around here that I'm pro-gay-marriage (which I like to call being pro-equal-rights). So of course I firmly disagreed with Miss California's decision to speak out against gay marriage in the Miss USA competition last night. I vehemently disagree with Carrie Prejean, but it took balls for her to stay true to her beliefs in a room that you better believe was jam-packed with gay men. I suppose there is a teeeeensy tiny bit of credit due there. She tells Access Hollywood today:...
After American Idol opted to have only two of the judges weigh in on each contestant last week, the outrage among fans was heard 'round the world, and it didn't miss the ears of the production company. This week, the judging will be back to normal, with all four judges weighing in on each contestant. And there'll be the same number of contestants this week as last -- thanks to the Matt Giraud save last week -- so everyone's just going to have to act like an adult professional rather than an eage...
Despite all the pics of them cuddling at the Grey Gardens NYC premiere, Drew claims she and her ex-boyfriend are just good friends. They're good friends who are also going to be co-starring in a romantic comedy that films later this year. And all of this is just a publicity stunt totally genuine respect for each other.
"We're doing a film this summer," she says. "I guess people find it a little confusing. I totally understand. It seems like, 'What is the deal with them?' But we just adore e...
Married mother Ashlee Simpson(-Wentz) showed up Thursday to film scenes for the CW's Melrose Place remake -- and she brought Sprinkles cupcakes! How sweet! She must REALLY want to keep this job!
I've been hearing rumors from folks inside the CW that the pilot script really sucks and the network may not even greenlight a season. Personally, I think that's probably bullshit. There's enough buzz around this show already that it wouldn't make any sense for the CW to scrap it entirely. I think Ash...
I can never keep track of whether Heidi Fleiss is sober at any given time. It's just at the point of meth-saturation where she looks completely wrecked no matter what. Lindsay Lohan, this is your future. Heidi is only 43 years old! My grandfather has better teeth, and he's twice her age.
Heidi did some shopping in Beverly Hills on Thursday, and likely tipped off the paparazzi, although I have no idea why she'd want to be photographed the way she looks. I'd heard that she abandoned her plans f...
