OK. I'd just read that E! News host Giuliana Rancic is attempting in-vitro fertilization---for the third time, you guys!---and while I'm totally optimistic for Rancic and her husband, yawn. I mean, I love Joan Rivers on Fashion Police as much as the next girl does, but IVF treatment is not exactly what I call news. Zzz.
This is news, though: Giuliana Rancic has breast cancer. What's more, those IVF treatments I'd just been yawning at probably saved Rancic's life---the cancer was detected by Rancic's fertility ...
I'm not exactly sure that Zachary Quinto's coming-out story "shocked the world"---I mean, duh---but good for the A-list science-fiction actor, what with the whole biding-his-time and using his story to do some real good in the world.
Quinto admits that the death of Jamey Rodemeyer, the kid who committed suicide in September and inspired an important tribute from Lady Gaga, urged Quinto to make his own sexuality public this week. CNN:
Actor Zachary Quinto, known for playing Spock in the 2009 Sta...
Lindsay Lohan has been kicked out of her community service program, absolutely everybody reports.
TMZ:
Judge Stephanie Sautner ordered Lohan to serve 360 hours at the Downtown Women's Center in L.A., as part of her probation in the shoplifting case. Part of the deal---the judge required her to be reliable, non-disruptive, and serve at least 4 hours at a time.
But sources tell us ... Lindsay blew off 9 scheduled visits ... and when she did show up, she would often bail after working ...
It started as curiosity and it turned to just being addictive… seeing the behind-the-scenes of what's going on with the people you see on the big screen.
Look at this face! If this isn't the face of sheer remorse, I don't know what is!
I mean, when I think "Sorry about ...
The afternoon before last, my boyfriend Derek suddenly jumped away from his computer, whooping and yelling.
"What is going on?" I asked him.
"SAMUEL L. JACKSON HAS JOINED TWITTER. AND HE'S VERIFIED," Derek replied, visibly trembling---whether with thrill or anxiety, I have no idea. Apparently, Jimmy Fallon had just tweeted this information, it had popped up on Derek's TweetDeck, and now Derek was having a four-alarm celebration/panic attack.
Then he noted aloud that Jackson's first three tweets were sent from backstage at Late Night.
Well! Turns out that Samuel L. Jackson went on to make the announcement---and his "inaugural" tweet (his fourth, really)---on national television. And I have to admit, this is a veryauspicious beginning:

You've heard the song! You've seen the photos! Now watch the music video!
Here's Betty White, this time in delicious .flv form, in an epic diva-off with English pop star Luciana.
Last time I covered Betty's version of Luciana's "I'm Still Hot," it didn't occur to me to listen to the lyrics too carefully. Shame on me! The video is for Lifeline, a program that allows you to sell your life insurance policy off in exchange for beaucoup bucks (it's something only the terminally ill used to be able to do). Wow! A...
Michael Douglas has signed to star in a biopic about Liberace! And boy, can I see it. At first I couldn't, but then I put that little photo of Liberace (inset) on top of a photo of Michael Douglas (outset), and then I was like, Oh. A spray tan and a wig, and Douglas is totally ready for Vegas.
Details are sparse so far, but we do know the Steven Soderbergh-directed flick will be based on Scott Thorson's salacious, tabloidy 1988 tell-all, Behind the Candelabra: My Life with Liberace. And co-starring as jilted lover Scott Thorson? That would be Matt Damon! (Which sure brings new meanin...
Community star Alison Brie recently tweeted,
Comparing close-up shots of my cleavage and @joelmchale's butt crack and they're eerily identical. #buttboobies
Donald Glover posted the uncouth snapshots in question to his Twitter (NSFW) for your---yes, your---perusal. In one photo: Miss Brie's comely gazoombas; in the other, suspiciously babylike butt-cleavage, belonging to The Soup's very own Joel McHale. The similarities are uncanny!
But which is which? Can you solve the puzzle? (Thi...
I know we've all had our share of giggles about Robert Pattinson and his longstanding dream of a music career. Ha, ha! But stop your laughing and dry your eyes, because Hugh Jackman will have you know that Young Mister Pattinson has a "really soulful, very pure, very beautiful singing voice."
Jackman signed up to work with Pattinson on Unbound Captives way back in 2009, but they first met in 2008 on a flight to Tokyo. The story about Jackman, Pattinson, and Australia director Baz Luhrmann all hitting a Japanese "karaoke box" together might be old news, ...
On Saturday, the Harvard Crimson played against the Cornell Big Red. Yeah, I didn't know about the game, either. (I was originally going to make a joke about Ivy League football, but I guess the Harvard Crimson is actually a pretty good team, so pooh on me.)
Also pretty good: both universities' marching bands. After Harvard's band's performance of the Ghostbusters theme---it's part of their set during football games---an older gentleman in salmon-colored pants approached them in the bleacher...
If it isn't completely obvious, I am thrilled for Paul McCartney and 51-year-old (?!?!) bride Nancy Shevell. They were married yesterday, on what would have been John Lennon's 71st birthday. The bride wore a tailored dress designed by Stella McCartney.
Since then, the spryest Beatle has been partying nonstop! According to CBS, the newlyweds' reception, held at the couple's home, bumped late into the night (Kate Moss was reportedly the last person to leave). The police even stopped by to inve...
At yesterday's Frys.com Open, Tiger Woods was standing at the 16th hole, deep in concentration, gripping the shaft of his putter, preparing for his final stroke. When suddenly, an errant weenie arced through the air!
The story from USA Today, via Gawker:
Woods was lining up his birdie putt when an unidentified male spectator came running toward the green. Woods, who finished in a tie for 30th, looked up and said he saw a hot dog flying in the air which the man had thrown.
Whether the...
