- TimbalandW is turning his attention from the music business to the movies–he’s working with another outfit to co-produce a film called Vinyl, which is, surprise, about a band. So, let’s see if we can figure this out–he’ll make the movie a big success, then take all the stars from the movie and produce films for them that will make them big successes, and then he’ll mix and match them with other stars to make even more successful movies–any questions?
- Kanye WestW talked to People magazine on the anniversary of his mom Donda West’s death, and told them that he feels responsible for what happened to her, explaining, "I feel like I moved to California, and then my mom [did too], and she did stuff she wouldn’t have done if we’d stayed in Chicago." I rarely dispense advice, but maybe some is in order here: dude, all you’re responsible for is what you do with the life you have now that she’s gone–if what you do and who you are can honor what she saw in you, not only will she live on, but she’ll live in you…
 NBC’s annual Christmas In Rockerfeller Center special includes some pretty special music when it airs December 3, including Beyonce, The Jonas Brothers, Idol’s David Cook, plus Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts and that amazing opera singer who won America’s Got Talent. Al RokerW from The Today Show will host again, and the live show will again conclude with the lighting of the big tree just off 49th and 5th–and about the only thing that can outshine that old peacock…- Michael JacksonW has turned over Neverland RanchW to the company who helped keep it from foreclosure, although it will be a joint venture between Jacko and the real estate investment company affiliate who’s taking control of it. Whatever tlheir plans for the place, there is definitely some de-creepiness that has to be done first…
.jpg) Jennifer AnistonW is still answering questions about comments she made in a Vogue interview about her ex Brad PittW and Angelina JolieW–she told Oprah on today’s show that she was just answering the reporter’s question about how it made her feel to hear Jolie describe the way she and Pitt fell in love in 2004, saying the remarks "were really uncool". Personally, the only thing she really needs to answer is how she learned to behave like such a grown-up in a town so full of overgrown babies…- A former executive producer of American Idol isn’t a fan of the new season’s plans to include a fourth judge–songwriter Kara DioguardiW–to the additional mix of Simon, Paula and Randy, saying, "I think once you’ve been told, ‘You suck,’ you don’t need to be told another three times." No worries–I’m sure Paula will make up for it by trying to date as many of the contestants as possible…

 Britney Spears had a bit of a scare when her son Jayden was admitted to a Mississippi hospital Sunday during a weekend family reunion in her Louisiana hometown, after he reportedly had a nasty allergic reaction to something he ate–the good news is he’s fine and was discharged last night.

- Beyonce told an Associated Press interview that she never considered selling her wedding photos, saying, "They offer crazy money that’s just ridiculous. But in the end…it’s so not worth it." Then again, she and husband Jay-Z probably control the equivalent of a couple small nations’ economies…
- Entertainment Weekly reports that Colbie Callait, who a few years ago tried and failed to make the cut for American Idol, got a little payback last week when judge Randy JacksonW gave her an award for her song Bubbly–which she sang for her audition. She busted on Randy a bit, but the truth was that she never even made it past one of the show’s producers–who probably no longer works there…
 Billy Ray Cyrus hinted to TV’s Access Hollywood that First Kids-elect Malia and Sasha Obama have been invited to guest star on daughter Miley’s hit Disney series Hanna Montana. I guess if it happens, they’ll just play kids like themselves–you know, who suddenly are famous beyond their wildest imaginations…- YouTube will soon be a destination for full-length entertainment from MGM, including old and new classics like The Magnificent Seven and Legally Blonde. Some say they’re playing catch-up with the joint NBC-Fox venture Hulu, but don’t underestimate Google, YouTube’s owners–MGM could very soon stand for More Google Media…

 After months of denials by spokespeople, Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie made it official–they announced Wednesday that they are divorcing after 8 years of marriage. There are financial details to work out, since Madge is worth about a half-billion dollars and Ritchie, well, isn’t….- Billboard magazine reports that Britney Spears is definitely hitting the road next spring after cutting a tour deal with AEG Live, that it will be international, and visit midsize venues rather than theatres or stadiums. It sounds like another carefully-planned step made by her father, which proves that all celebrity parents aren’t publicity-seeking boobs that are painfully unaware of their childrens’ problems–but enough about Brit’s mom…
- Tina Fey still doesn’t know if she’ll return to Saturday Night Live this weekend to do her spot-on Sarah Palin impression–but CNN says that Palin herself will be a guest on the show. Wow–maybe Palin will do her Tina Fey impression…
- MTV’s Total Request Live, or TRL, says a final farewell November 16 and Beyonce will be there to mark the moment, telling the show Monday during an appearance that she owes a lot of success to them–both for her and Destiny’s Child. Maybe she’ll get husband Jay-Z to buy it and start his own channel–you know, Jigga TV…
- The mystery is over surrounding whatever was ailing Janet Jackson to force her to postpone 9 dates on her Rock Witchu tour–her reps announced Tuesday that she was diagnosed with a rare type of migraine-induced vertigo, but she’s receiving treatment and returned to performing Wednesday night in Washington DC. It must be great for her to resume her tour, and to realize that her only big headache isn’t brother Michael…
 ohn McCain tried to make peace with David Letterman Thursday night, telling the late-night host that "I screwed up" by canceling an earlier appearance on the show, then endured some pretty sharp questioning by Letterman about his campaign and Sarah Palin. I think afterwards, he probably would have preferred a debate with Hillary Clinton…

- At Britain’s Q Awards Monday, presented by the music magazine of the same name, Coldplay was named Best Act In The World Today, as well as winning Best Album for its Viva La Vida Loca Or Death And All His Friends. Lead singer Chris Martin said in his acceptance speech that the only reason his band had won was that, "U2 are on holiday"–besides, even Bono has got to get a little weary with all the adulation…
- Beyonce finally decided to go on the record about her marriage to Jay-Z–a little over six months later, when she told Essence magazine that the wedding was small and intimate because, "it’s been my day so many days already". And she said the reason she kept the news a secret so long is that, "What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or having the right photo op"–plus they probably also had to make sure the pre-nup was air-tight…
 Singer Shakira has endorsed Barack Obama for president, saying she wants the entire Latino community to participate in the election because she believes they can really make a difference. As a native of Columbia, Shakira isn’t eligible to vote here–but her fans are as likely to believe her voice as her hips…- Weird Al Yankovic is at it again, taking on the T.I. hit Whatever You Like with a parody version now available on iTunes–the first time one of his parodies was released while the original song was still a hit. Al credits the digital revolution with saving his career–which will probably grow even bigger once his fans start to parody him on YouTube…
- The New York Post says John McCain may be trying to mend fences with David Letterman, who he left in a lurch recently when McCain canceled an appearance on the show by telling Letterman he had to return to Washington–only to do a different interview and then not leave New York until the next day. The two sides are discussing an October 15 visit–well, McCain is; I think Letterman is still talking about hell freezing over first…
 Actor David Duchovny of X-Files fame is clean and sober…uh, sort of, now that he’s checked out of rehab for sex addiction, as his attorney told People magazine, "David is out of rehab and about to start a new movie. He successfully completed his treatment." Now, as long as he keeps his eyes tightly closed and thinks about nothing but nursing homes, he’ll be just fine…

- 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.

 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…
