  • Mariah Carey has confirmed to People magazine that she did marry Nick Cannon on April 30 in the Bahamas and provided them with exclusive wedding pictures–including shots of their new tattoos.   There’s nothing that says true love better than burning someone’s name into your skin
  • Hopefully Mariah’s new marriage will take the sting out of losing the top spot on the album sales chart, as Madonna’s Hard Candy has debuted there with 280 thousand copies sold–and giving her one more number one than the new Mrs. Nick Cannon
  • Amy Winehouse has been arrested again for drug use–although it centers on a video police received earlier this year allegedly showing Winehouse smoking crack.  Of course, officers only wanted to question her about it–if it was her, they could upload it to YouTube and be famous…
  • Barbara Walters’ recent comments on Oprah about having to keep Star Jones’ gastric bypass a secret elicited this reaction from Jones: "It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me, all for the sake of selling a book."   Apparently a publicist crafted this based on Star’s actual reaction of "Kill da b**ch!  Kill da b**ch!"…
  • Dan Rather has re-submitted his lawsuit against CBS, claiming he could not get hired by other networks because of how he was treated by his bosses in the fallout from his 2004 story about President Bush’s military service.  Dan is working for cable channel HDNet, but it’s not really the same–he only gets air time when the yodeling guy is unavailable…
  • The Chicago Sun Times reports that John Mayer apparently logs all of his romantic conquests in something called a "fame booK", containing a diary-like record of his time with them along with personal photos, notes from them, clippings of articles about them and emails they’ve sent to him.  The richer they get, the weirder they get…

  • Mariah Carey is apparently a married woman again, as a tourism official from the Bahamas said that Mariah and actor Nick Cannon were married on Windemere Island there last week and another source confirming the pair obtained a marriage license from another Bahamian island.  Mariah has repeatedly denied it happened, but I hear Nick has told every single person he knows plus a large number of total strangers
  • OneRepublic lead singer Ryan Tedder injured his Achilles tendon badly enough that it required immediate surgery–he’ll be fine, but the band was forced to cancel or postpone the rest of the dates on their current tour.  Ryan apologized to fans and said he hoped they’d be able to reschedule all the scrapped shows…
  • Looks like Amy Winehouse will not be singing the theme for the upcoming James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace, as her producer says she is, "not ready to record music" and believes that completing the project would require, "some miracle of science".  Perhaps Amy can help–she must know plenty about chemistry
  • An ad in Monday’s USA Today that attacks ignition interlocks–proposed devices that will meaure a drivers’ blood-alcohol level before permitting the vehicle to start–used Lindsay Lohan’s now-infamous DUI mug shot to suggest that it’s only people like her that need such technology.  LiLo’s people were furious about the ad, saying they knew for a fact she had looked much better on several other arrests
  • Tom Cruise was on Oprah Friday for the first time since his couch-jumping escapade three years ago, and told her, "That was a moment, and it was real, and I don’t know if I would [do it differently]. I really don’t."   I’m pretty sure that the people financing his films would be jumping on their couches if he tried it again…
  • CSI star Gary Dourdan reportedly emailed a TV tabloid reporter to clear the air about his arrest on drug possession charges last week, claiming that the drugs found in his car were in the luggage of another person and that he was cooperating "in any way to clear myself and go on with my blessed life."  He should consider himself blessed, putting his stash in somebody else’s property

  • Mariah Carey must have had a pretty great weekend–the Empire State Building honored her by lighting the top of the skyscraper from Friday until last night in the color scheme of her new CD E=MC2.  She said she’s, "blessed, excited and grateful to God"–probably because she was walking around in heels higher than the Observation Deck
  • Amy Winehouse spent Friday night in a London jail in connection with a pair of altercations outside a club earlier in the week, but she left early Saturday without being charged.  I suppose at this point they’re just trying to cut down on the sheer paperwork generated by her thus far…
  • British singers Natasha Bedingfield and Leona Lewis were named by London’s Sunday Times to their list of "Young Music Millionaires"–under-30 artists with a seven-figure net worth.  Elton John was reportedly miffed for being left off this list, since he still acts like he’s 25…
  • Miley Cyrus is apologizing to fans for a photo spread in an upcoming Vanity Fair in which she appears to be topless, saying, "seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed."  The pictures were taken by legendary photographer Annie Liebowitz, so at least she can be tastefully embarrassed…
  • Fox will be asking some American Idol fans for their reactions to proposed changes for the show next season, which is still beating everydody in the ratings but is falling short of the numbers it typically attains.  It’s unlikely they’ll get to weigh in on anything really important—like having Simon appear in every episode dressed like a different barnyard animal…
  • A number of celebrities are donating used baby items of theirs to an eBay auction beginning tomorrow that will benefit charities including The March Of Dimes and Save The ChildrenJ-Lo was momentarily undecided about making a donation, since she couldn’t remember if she’d actually publicly admitted being pregnant

  • Mariah Carey’s music is getting plenty of publicity these days, and now her new movie Tenessee will get its share as it debuts tomorrow night at the Tribeca Film Festival.  If she shows up for the screening, she’ll get more attention than festival founder Robert De Niro–and he won’t even mind
  • British police are investigating claims that Amy Winehouse assaulted a man earlier this week in London, with tabloid reports saying she punched out another guy, trashed a bar and smoked drugs on the sidewalk outside.  Once again we discover that sobriety and fame can be so fleeting
  • Rihanna may be getting her next hit song from Sinead O’Connor, who says she’s been asked to pen a tune for her based on some backing tracks already put together.  Sinead is a great songwriter and I’m sure it’ll turn out wonderfully–just as long as she doesn’t convince Rihanna to shave her head to sing it…
  • Actor Wesley Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison on tax evasion charges.  What a coicidence–he’ll be handy for filming the upcoming sequel Blade Behind Bars
  • Tom Cruise will be returning to The Oprah Winfrey Show next month to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his break-through role in Risky Business.  It’ll be great–Oprah’s had her couches super-reinforced this time…
  • Reports this week that O.J. Simpson was interested in appearing on Celebrity Apprentice have been addressed by both NBC and Donald Trump, with reps for both in unison–he was never considered and never will be.  It would have made for great drama–wondering if the Donald would fire him, or be too afraid the Juice would slit his throat

  • A Scarsdale Village, NY town clerk confirms what everyone has been saying–a signed marriage license from Beyonce and Jay-Z was received and filed last Friday.  Whoever dug up this tidbit probably thinks it’s worth a Pulitzer Prize
  • Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora wasted no time getting in front of a single charge of DUI filed against him hours earlier, pleading guilty in exchange for probation, alcoholism clases, and court costs.  He avoided prosecution on child endangerment charges, which means he’ll be on the road with the band this summer and not on the chow line in jail
  • John Mayer’s live CD/DVD, titled Where The Light Is, will be out July 1 and will feature music from a September concert where he peformed three sets–one accoustic solo, one with his blues trio, and one with his full band.  Amazingly enough, he also dated a different woman during each one…
  • Madonna came to the defense of Tom Cruise in a recent magazine interview, saying, "I don’t care if people worship turtles or frogs — if they’re good people, that’s all I care about, and he is a good person."    No one wants their beliefs ridiculed–which means it’s often better to not act as if everyone who doesn’t share them are the crazy ones…
  • A recent British poll found that Amy Winehouse was the #1 "ultimate heroine" of  those under 25, and #2 overall after Princess Diana.  Amy is certainly qualified–few people know that word as well as she does…
  • Former Vegas star James Caan has bailed out on filming an upcoming political comedy after disagreeing with the director that his character couldn’t be choking and cough at the same time.  Lucky for the director that Caan didn’t demonstrate on his neck…
