Despite my best efforts, I am all-consumingly fascinated by Kate Major: she is 28 years old; a former tabloid journalist; desperate for fame yet atypically bland; Michael Lohan's occasional girlfriend; Jon Gosselin's ex.
Five whole days ago, Kate Major left rehab (she excitedly retweeted the news on her own Twitter account).
But Major has a nose for trouble, it seems. At 3:10 AM EST this very morning, she was arrested yet again. And according to Starcasm, she has been out of jail for a few hour...
OK. I watched both videos and, considering this is her U.S. television debut, Lana Del Rey's performances on this weekend's Saturday Night Live seem sort of fine. (For what it's worth, Rolling Stone has previously described her live shows as "anxious.")
But Lana Del Rey is relatively frosh, isn't she? She was only signed to a label in 2011. She sure has an interesting sound, though, and she's more on-key than Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and sometimes Adele, who---please! Please don't shoot me!---can...
This is so terrible and funny, even though it's only funny in a medically terrifying, life-threatening way.
Celebrity chef Paula Deen is best known, not for her down-home style of Southern-fried cooking, but for her use of butter. Just, butter. All the time, butter. Butter, butter, everywhere.
So this rumor is sad but not altogether unexpected:
Celebrity chef Paula Deen plans to set the record straight about rumors that she's been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on a Tuesday (Jan. 17) "Today" ...
I am assuming the erstwhile couple is only putting on a happy face, but what a happy face! Jennifer Lopez and estranged husband Marc Anthony seemed unusually comfortable together at the Q'Viva: The Chosen panel in Pasadena this morning.
Radar Online poked and prodded this story, looking for any sign of sordid, scandalous life. Except for a weird aside about Lopez needing a psychiatrist (?!), this story is bone-dry:
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony looked anything like a couple in the midst of a divorce as they promoted their new show, ...
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
What is going on with Brian Austin Green? This whole story about Mr. Megan Fox is extremely fishy. Here goes:
Back in 2000, Brain Austin Green and Vanessa Marcil started dating. I mean they had been on 90210 together and one thing led to another and they started dating. While they were dating, Brian says that Vanessa asked to borrow some money.
So, on four separate occasions he lent her $50,000 for a total of $200K. Then she got pregnant with their child....
No matter your opinion of Quentin Tarantino as a filmmaker, you can't argue whether the man knows more about movies than you do. You just can't. Because he does. He knows more about movies than anybody.

Vincent D'Onofrio. How do you feel about him?
Me, I love him, but with this important qualifier: I think, as he's aged, his "method" acting has become a little too neurotic.
I don't know. I started to feel this way right around Thumbsucker (2005), but I really became critical once I started paying any attention to "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."
Having said all that, the above video is one of the funniest, most neurotic, best things I have ever seen.
In "Vincent D'Onofrio's Hollywood D'os and D'on'ts," D'Onofrio offers sage advice like "Do make a film with Stanley Kubrick" and "Do not f---k with me." Either his halting delivery means he is improvising his list as he goes, or he really is the Christopher Walken for a new generation. />

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Madonna ought to be flattered by Lady Gaga. But is she?
Tough to say.
First there was that quote in Newsweek Emily mentioned yesterday.
Then, in an interview aired on 20/20 last night, Madonna tried to play coy. (Unfortunately for Madonna, her "coy" is everybody else's "ridiculously obvious.") From the New York Daily News:
Madonna is finally expressing herself on Lady Gaga's song, "Born This Way."
Critics had pointed out similarities in t...
So it's safe to say that a specific Something triggered Sinead O'Connor's recent Twitter meltdown: she and her husband split. Yep, seriously. Again.
Sinead took to her blog today---again---to update us on her relationship's status:
Ireland is a very f---ed up country. Certain sections of our media are pure evil. These people, along with others caused enormous damage deliberately and maliciously to my innocent flower of a husband, purely because he was with me. And so his association wi...
I love Hugh Laurie. There, I said it. Why, when I was a kid I used to stay home "sick" from church so I could watch Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry on Jeeves and Wooster. (It aired on PBS; I was actually nursing a tiny, terrible crush on Stephen Fry.)
You probably already know that, besides being English, Hugh Laurie is also a talented musician. I have long been convinced, in fact, that Laurie's adeptness at the "American" accent is a consequence of having a musical ear. Laurie is a singer, too, and I think the Dr. House "voice"---which is nothing like Laurie's own speaking voice---is probably a little bit like singing at a lower register, to the tune of whatever cadence and melody "spoken American" has. So I think it might be less "doing an accent" and more "singing." The effect is convincing.
Where was I? Oh, yeah.
How many times has Hugh Laurie visited Craig Ferguson at The Late Late Show? Four? Six? I feel like he's a frequent guest.
Still, it's a rare pleasure to see him perform the blues "live"; here's a video from last night's show.

This video is really blowing up! (Pun intended? But it really is going viral. It appeared on The Daily What, Laughing Squid, and Neatorama almost simultaneously.)
You know that famous line in Apocalypse Now, right, kids? "I love the smell of napalm in the morning," that's how the movie's most memorable sentence goes.
Wikipedia:
Kilgore's quote "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" (written by Milius) was number 12 on the AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes list and was also voted the fourth greatest movie speech of all time in a 2004 poll.
…In a 2004 poll of UK film fans, Blockbuster listed Kilgore's eulogy to napalm as the best movie speech. The helicopter attack scene with the Ride of the Valkyries soundtrack was chosen as the most memorable film scene ever by Empire magazine (although the same track was used earlier in 1915 to similar effect in The Birth of a Nation).
Indeed, something about Robert Duvall's speech---and that one line in particular---must have plucked a chord in the popular consciousness, because variations on that sentiment have shown up again and again. The line crops up in everything from kids' cartoons to crime procedurals.
But at this point, it isn't even a great punchline; it isn't clever. The reference is just lazy writing, a type of Mad-Lib from the guys in a sitcom's writing room.
Still, it's fascinating, isn't it? That so many fictional people would seize on that line to reiterate unto perpetuity? Hmm. I'll be waiting for the "You complete me" supercut next. />
