Carrie Prejean, fallen beauty queen, decided to sue the Miss California pageant as she felt she was unjustly fired even though she refused to appear at events that her job required her to attend. Personally, I think "I don't wanna" is a perfectly logical and acceptable excuse to not perform your job, though the courts may not see it the same way.
Well now the Miss California pageant officials are fighting back. In a cross-complaint filed in response to Prejean's suit, they are looking to be reimbursed the $5,200 they paid for Carrie's breast augmentation. Why ...
Where The Wild Things Are was the top movie of the weekend. I know this because the Internet tells me so, but I also know this because I took my kids to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (stupid!) yesterday and there was a huge overflow of pre-teen brat-monsters that filed in at the last minute because Where The Wild Things Are was sold out. Incidentally, -- and if you are Facebook friends with me, you already know this -- tickets for two adults, two kids, two small popcorns and a bag of M&Ms was 60 bucks. Sixty. Dollars.
Anyway, it was surprising that WTWTA pulled in $32.4M and the other big, premiere movie, Jamie Foxx's Law Abiding Citizen only posted sales of $21.2M.
Here's the weekend stats, and you'll notice that Drew Barrymore's Whip It has already careened off the top ten list. Crash!

"I think when the stars are aligned, the time is right, and all five of us have our heads on straight and know the direction we're going as a band, it'll eventually happen. If not, I know we'll be best friends forever."

That was a short engagement! Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor married ex-West Indian Girl singer Mariqueen Maandig Saturday night. The announcement was made via the only method that anything meaningful happening ever gets communicated anymore -- Twitter. Congrats to the happy couple!...
It looks like Wilmer Valderrama will finally have a more lucrative gig than his current stint as the voice of Handy Manny. He's set to star in a Fox pilot for a series based on Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan.
There's no title yet, and not too much in the way of details, but I guarantee you that Oprah will somehow find a way to to take credit for this show and all two of its episodes. Because she like, discovered Millan. And the art of "dog whispering." And dogs -- she created dogs too....
Lindsay's parents continue to thrust and parry at one another (all through the media, natch!) while their daughter continues her decline. The newest in the endless volumes of Lohan-gate surround Dina. In response to Michael's threat to stage an intervention for LL, Dina responded in a People interview:
Dina lashed back Saturday, telling PEOPLE: "Michael Lohan needs to focus on being a parent, paying child support, of which he is six months behind, and making up for all the years he was an abse...
We all have our own version of what a perfect world is. In my edition, every rom-com actress would be put on a boat and shipped out to a far and distant land where every female cast member from The Hills would greet them at the shore. Oh, and Jon Gosselin and Octomom are married and raise their 22 kids (did I do that math right?) together in the only infrastructure that could house them all -- the Staples Center.
Sure, it may sound outlandish. And the boat would never actually arriv...
A few months ago, there was this nasty little rumor floating around that True Blood actor Alexander Skarsgard was dating Evan Rachel Wood. Rabid True Blood fans flooded my mailbox with inquiries about it, begging me to tell them it wasn't true. I wasn't sure one way or the other, but I have a sneaking suspicion that she's back with Marilyn Manson even though he thinks of smashing her head with a sledgehammer every day.
Saturday night Skarsgard won Best Villan at the 2009 Scream Awards a...
I can't believe I'm about to ask this, but can we please discuss Beyonce and her history with southeast Asia?
Two years ago, Beyonce cancelled a scheduled performance in Malaysia because she wasn't willing to put some clothes on. The Malaysians have rules and she wasn't willing to pay respect to a nation's culture by putting on a shirt. She ended up performing for those progressive Indonesians instead.
A few weeks ago, Beyonce said that she'd be performing in Kuala Lampur as part of ...
It's not in writing yet, but it seems that Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have reached an agreement that they both can live with in the event of their likely their eventual a divorce. A deal should be signed this week. Let's get this marriage legal!
The exact terms aren't being disclosed, but TMZ reports that KK won't have claim to the money that Lamar earns during their marriage. She will be entitled to an annual lump sum and a pricey little shack that Lamar is purchasing. Sigh ... isn't it romantic once all the assets are assigned?...
