Our Lives Would Suck Without Kelly Clarkson

51711449kelly_clarkson23200942753pm America has spoken, people, and Kelly is #1 on the charts once again this week with her new album, All I Ever Wanted. I, for one, love the album, but I'm one of the rare people who actually loved My December, too, which flopped because it lacked strong singles. At the time, Kelly insisted on sticking with material she'd written herself, even though her label begged her not to release the album without some more radio-friendly material. I still think it was a damn good album. But I'm glad to see Kelly back on top, one way or another. I voted for you, Ke...

Natasha Richardson’s Organs Donated After Her Death

Natasha Richardson Way to go, Natasha! When the beloved and respected actress was taken off life support last week, her family requested that her organs be donated to other patients whose lives they might save. Organ donation "is very Natasha," a family friend told People. "She spent so much time fighting the stigma of AIDS; someone like that would naturally donate her organs. At least by donating her organs something good could come out of [the tragedy]." I agree! I've made clear to my family that, in the event of my death, they should totally tear me apart and use every pos...

Winnie Cooper Ties the Knot

danica_mckellar_book I just feel I have to emphasize what a phenomenal and unlikely life Danica McKellar has carved out for herself. After spending her childhood starring as the beautiful girl next door on The Wonder Years, she decided that instead of becoming a drug addict or attempting to release an ill-fated album, she would go to college. And study mathematics at UCLA. She graduated summa cum laude. I don't know that the average person understands just how difficult it is to graduate summa cum laude in mathe...

Brit-Brit Paid $2.7M in Legal Fees

56936465britneyspears3122009114233am And that's apparently a LOW estimate, and it doesn't include 2009. $2.7M is what Britney Spears' estate has paid lawyers since her father took over her life via a conservatorship in 2007. At least 17 lawyers and firms have had a hand in Spears' personal or business matters in the 14 months since a judge determined she was not competent to manage her life and multimillion-dollar music empire herself. The legal work has not come cheap, according to court papers, including an accounting fi...

Star Trek: TNG Cast to Appear on Family Guy!!!!

425familyguylc032409 Ohhhhhhhh this makes me SO HAPPY. You all know what a (not-so-closeted) Trekkie I am, and no series is closer to my heart than The Next Generation. Remember the time that Wil Wheaton signed my boobs? And then we BOTH Twittered about it? (Pics are here.) That was the happiest day of my life. (Apologies in advance to Wil's wife.) So I am of course just delighted to hear that basically the entire cast of TNG will be appearing on this Sunday's episode of one of my other favorite TV shows, Fami...

Robert Pattinson Stinks

Robert Pattinson Smells Bad Pictures Photos No, like, literally. Sources on the set of New Moon are complaining about how stinky he is! "He stinks. I mean, it's awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy," says a source who Ted Casablancas claims "works in very close quarters" with Rob, which I'm assuming means the man who does his hair or makeup in his trailer. "He completely reeks," says another source. Apparently Robert isn't a big fan of showering. And is anyone surprised? I mean, does this guy LOOK like he showers? Um, no. And maybe this ex...

Quotables

llohancarcrashagain_18_x17 "People telling lies about me to her and all this garbage. I'm really a good person and I have a good heart and just want to work. The only reason I go to clubs is to hear Samantha spin or be normal ... I don't drink, I don't do drugs and I don't lie. I love to act and write and be creative, and I want to help people by playing characters that can send a positive message out to whomever may need it ... I move forward and I change. Life's too short not to. If people would just leave my person...

Perhaps It’s Time to Go Back into Retirement?

lance_armstrong2 Poor Lance Armstrong has broken his collarbone in Spain on Monday, after crashing during the first stage of a five-day race. This was supposed to be Lance's big return to cycling after coming out of retirement. Armstrong, who was caught in a pile-up about 12.5 miles form the stage's finish in La Vuelta de Castilla y Leon, appeared to be in considerable pain as he was helped into an ambulance headed to the Rio Carrion hospital in Palencia, the Associated Press reports. Doctors are determining...

La Broke-han?

57011069lindsay_lohan324200942203am Lindsay Lohan may be overdoing it on the ... uh ... Red Bull, because Gatecrasher is reporting that she's broke as a joke right now. According to friends of the two, Lindsay’s overspending is out of control, and it’s putting additional strain on the ladies’ already volatile relationship. “Lindsay is spending like crazy!” a friend of the actress tells us. “She’s living on credit right now. She has no cash. The problem is, the money being spent is mostly Sam’s because Lindsay doesn’t really have any of her own at the moment...

Anne Hathaway as Judy Garland?

anne_hathaway_white My sister's in town visiting this week, and somehow the topic of Anne Hathaway came up. My sister was like, "I never like her in movies," and I was like, "You know, me neither. I like that she was dating a "Vatican" con-man, I like that she sold him out to the Feds, and I like what she wears when Rachel Zoe styles her, but I never actually do like her in movies." So I have to admit that I'm kind of disappointed that Anne's been chosen to play Judy Garland in her upcoming biopic, Get Happy: Th...

The Miley & Mandy Show: NEW EPISODE!

OMG you guys I was SO WORRIED about Miley and Mandy. After Miley declared Taylor Swift to be her best friend at the VMAs, and she kept making YouTube videos with her boyfriend and her sister and seemingly EVERYONE but Mandy, I thought this friendship for the ages was kaput.

Will you be voting for Miley??? /> OMG you guys I was SO WORRIED about Miley and Mandy.
