 New mom Gwen Stefani (pictured here incredibly any-minute-now pregnant!) has left the hospital with her second child with rocker husband Gavin Rossdale, baby boy Zuma Nesta Rock. It’s good news for that other Gwen–Apple is no longer the world’s stupidest celebrity baby name…- Kid Rock has bucked the current trend of putting his music on iTunes–and the huge success of his hit All Summer Long has forced anyone who wants the song to buy his CD Rock And Roll Jesus at their local music retailer. It’s put the album, released almost a year ago, in the Top 10 and pushed it to double platinum status–not to mention really irritating Steve Jobs…
- Pink is singing one thing and saying another, as she claims her new song So What is not a dig at her estranged husband Carey Hart–despite the song’s video depicting her taking a chainsaw to a tree engraved with the couple’s names on it. Pink claims it’s the musical version of "when a kindergartener goes up and punches a girl he likes and runs away", and insists Hart is "my darling" and "it’s all good"–and maybe explains why they’re estranged…
- Malaysia’s government has apparently done an about-face on their stance opposing Avril Lavigne’s concert there this coming Friday night–officials now say her show in Kuala Lumpur may go on, although the nation’s arts and culture ministry will reportedly monitor the concert to "ensure that the performances do not clash with the Malaysian culture and values". So–how much was the payoff, and which official got it?
  Former Saturday Night Live cast member Chris Kattan has split with his wife, model Sunshine Tutt, after a virtual Hollywood eternity of wedded bliss–8 whole weeks. What do you figure–he did that Mango bit one time too many?- Ed McMahon has passed on Donald Trump’s offer to buy McMahon’s home, which is in danger of foreclosure, and then lease it back to McMahon and his wife. Ed will instead sell the home to another party, likely deciding he wanted the Donald as a landlord about as much has he would want Jay Leno as a boss…

- A "Who’s Who" of top female singers, including Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Sheryl Crow, Rihanna, Melissa Etheridge and nine others will join to record a single to benefit the Stand Up To Cancer initiative, which will air on ABC, NBC and CBS on September 5. This bunch, including a pair of cancer suvivors in Etheridge and Crow, won’t just stand up to cancer–they’ll obliterate it with the sheer force of their collective wills…
 Avril Lavigne is having difficulty performing a concert in Malaysia, where officials say her show would be, "unsuitable to Malaysian culture" and its scheduled date of August 29 is too close to the nation’s independence celebration. Avril needs to follow the lead of Beyonce, who was in a similar situation recently–she made sure her costumes were inoffensive, her songs weren’t controversial, and her multi-zillion dollar husband was standing by just in case to write them a big check…- The Olympics have been good to Michael Phelps, and Michael Phelps has been very good to NBC–its coverage of the summer games grabbed the top 7 spots in TV ratings last week, pulling in an average audience of 28.7 million. Al Roker had better hope Phelps has no major weatherman aspirations…
 The people of Milwaukee honored one of their own–on TV at least–when they unveiled a bronze statue of Arthur Fonzerelli, better known as "The Fonz" from 70’s sitcom icon Happy Days. Most of the cast of the show was on hand, except for the guy who played Potsie–he spent the day on the show’s Hollywood set, wondering where everybody else was…- Roger Moore, who played James Bond in 7 films in the 1970’s and 80’s, writes about his experiences in a memoir out November 4 and reveals that many of the stunts left him in less than ideal conditon–including one boat-chase scene that catapulted him into a wall, cracking teeth and twisting his knee. Apparently, the villan for the rest of the movie was the stunt coordinator…
- Bobby Brown is in more legal trouble–only this time it’s from his own attorneys, who say he owes them $90,000 in fees stemming from his divorce from Whitney Houston. At least this time it isn’t any of those drug dealers he stiffed…

- Mariah Carey has stepped in as Saturday Night Live’s musical guest this weekend after Janet Jackson was forced to cancel due to a flu outbreak that briefly put her in the hospital.

- Avril Lavigne is not only not pregnant, but the recent shopping trip with her husband to a pair of baby boutiques that fed the rumors was all a prank–staged for a new TV series from Ashton Kutcher called Pop Fiction.

- A band named Doxology claims American idol contestant David Cook used their version of Eleanor Rigby for his performance of it on the show–the second time Cook has been called out for using someone’s arrangement without credit.

- Madonna was reportedly dumfounded by Justin Timberlake’s story at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame about getting a B-12 injection from her in his backside, and her remarking that he had "a nice top shelf". According to Madge, "I don’t even know what a ‘top shelf’ is"–which means that once again, JT has confused her with Britney Spears’ mom…
- A 60-year-old woman who said her name was Billie Jean King and claimed to be Michael Jackson’s wife was caught tresspassing on Jacko’s soon-to-be-former Neverland Ranch. I wonder if she also told cops she was a Pretty Young Thing who didn’t Wanna Be Startin’ Somthing, so they had better Beat It…
- The seventh Harry Potter book may be the last of its kind, but the movie from it won’t–it will actually be two movies, filmed at the same time but released six months apart. Producers feel they need the time to do justice to the story–and to figure out how to explain that Voldemort is really Ron Weasley…

- Justin Timberlake says that he and producer wunderkind Timbaland’s work on Madonna’s upcoming CD was designed to "re-invent her sound". And why do I imagine she probably had a lesson or two for young JT?
- Avril Lavigne has confirmed that she’s working on both a clothing and fragrance line. So should we expect a men’s cologne named Smells Like Skater Boy?
- Amy Winehouse’s mother Janis said in a British TV interview that her daughter is "on the road to recovery" and added that her performance on the Grammys showed that she looked good and was making progress. I suppose not appearing like the female version of Keith Richards is progress…
- The estate of late author J.R.R. Tolkein has sued New Line Cinema, claiming the studio has failed to pay the estate its share of the $6 billion that The Lord Of The Rings franchise has earned worldwide. The studio insists they gave the money to Gollum, who promised to take good care of it…
- Variety reports that Denise Richards will star in a reality series about her life as a single mother–which will not go over big with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, since he’s already objected to the idea of using the pair’s two children in any show.

- People magazine has confirmed that Gwen Stefani is pregnant with her second child, which may impact her plans to reunite with No Doubt to record a new album. Sounds like Gwen is busy forming her own band…
- Speaking of reunions, Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas discussed his band’s near future in in an interview, saying that "It’s against my balanced nature to say I know what’s going to happen …I’m not setting up plans to do anything. I could put out a solo record next, or we could just as easily write a whole [Matchbox Twenty] record in the next two months." It’s a wonder this guy even got married, let alone stayed that way…
- Kevin Federline’s attorney has filed a motion requesting that Britney Spears pay his legal fees in their custody dispute, which total hundreds of thousands of dollars. That seems like an awful lot for just saying "Shut up, K-Fed!"…

Britney Spears also made the list–which proves that crazy sells…
- The writer’s strike has definitely helped reality TV control the ratings–only one first-run scripted show made the Top Ten. It really gives Big Brother hope that they can finally crack the Top Twenty, Top Thirty–heck, Top anything…
- Long-time CBS newsman Bob Schieffer announced his retirement from the network more or less, saying he’ll step down from his Face The Nation hosting job but hopes to be able to stay on with the network in some role. Since he got better ratings than either Dan Rather or Katie Couric as Evening News anchor, I can think of one…
