- Britney Spears’ mom Lynn is now writing a memoir expected to be out this fall about her experience raising two daughters in the media spotlight–an effort her publisher says was put on hold when 16-year-old Jamie Lynn became pregnant. That was probably also the point when it stopped being that mom’s how-to book…
- Both Beyonce and her rap mogul husband Jay-Z made the Top Ten in Forbes’ annual Celebrity 100 list, with B at #4 and Jigga in at #7. They may both be wearing the pants in that family–but whose have the deepest pockets?
- Idol winner David Cook talked about the competition in a Rolling Stone interview, saying, "I was never in it to win it, and that took some pressure off me. If I’d gotten caught up in all that, I would’ve had a coronary." For runner-up David Archuleta’s dad, that might have actually helped him…
- Katy Perry of I Kissed A Girl fame told a website interview that she recently met Rolling Stones’ legendary lead singer Mick Jagger and that he tried to put the moves on her–only Katy was having none of it, saying, "(He) could be my dad. I don’t cross 60. The age limit’s probably 30." Hers, or Mick’s?
- People magazine says Mel Gibson and Britney Spears spent a few hours together at a Beverly Hills cigar club this week in what they described as, "more of an ongoing guidance session than a business pow-wow." He probably does have a lot to teach her–other than the benefits of Judiasm…
- Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl took the unusual step of withdrawing from Emmy consideration, saying in a statement that, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination…". She shouldn’t worry–I’m sure the writers will give her some great stuff for her death scene next season…

- The New York Post has named Mariah Carey and Beyonce to their list of the city’s 50 most powerful women. Beyonce’s stock is likely rising due to getting hitched to Jay-Z, while Mariah gets props for marrying someone who will never upstage her…
- Miley Cyrus isn’t alone in representing her family on the pop charts–her half-brother Trace is a member of the band Metro Station that also has a song on the Billboard Hot 100. Trace says his half-sis has been very supportive of his band’s success–just as long as he doesn’t out-sell her…
- Jessica Simpson told People magazine that her sister Ashlee will not just be a good mom, "She’ll be amazing, absolutely amazing." I think she’s just so grateful that it wasn’t her instead…
- Amy Winehouse managed to show up for the first day of her husband’s trial for assault and witness tampering–four hours late. It’s understandable–it takes time to score dope around a courthouse…
- Sunday’s fire at Universal Studios has been ruled an accident by fire officials, who say it was caused by workers using a blowtorch to repair one of the back-lot sets that were destroyed. I gotta wonder if the phrase "you’ll never work in this town again" came up at all…
- Kelsey Grammer, best known from his sitcom days on Cheers and Frasier, suffered a mild heart attack while vacationing in Hawaii. It’s possible he was depressed over the cancellation of his latest sitcom, or the fact he’s starting yet another loser…

- Madonna put up for auction her purse and all its contents–including a makeup mirror, hair clips, tissues and lip gloss–at an AIDS charity gala late last week in Paris. The whole package sold for just under a half-million bucks–only the winning bidder was upset because he got the wrong color gloss…
- American Idol winner David Cook wasted no time making his mark on music buyers, grabbing the top 4 spots on iTunes’ sales chart since his win last week. It’s still early, but I think he’s already sold more than Fantasia and Taylor Hicks combined…
- OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder is a little upset about how Timbaland got credit for their hit Apologize, since Ryan wrote the song 5 years ago and the band co-produced it. But Ryan definitely isn’t upset about the money that the song has brought the group–which likely wouldn’t have come along without that Timba-brand…
- After a four-year wait, Usher returns with his new CD Here I Stand, in stores today. It features talents like Jay-Z and his new bride Beyonce, Will I. Am of Black Eyed Peas, and Usher Raymond the Fifth–that’s right, Usher’s 6-month-old baby boy can be heard gurgling on one track…
- Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger has appealed his recent drunk driving conviction in Canada, claiming that the breathalyzer test he was forced to take shouldn’t have happened because the arresting officer didn’t have a reasonable suspicion that he was drunk. In other words, it was a lucky guess that Chad was blitzed out of his mind…
- Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull may be a huge box-office success, but it has upset members of Russia’s Communist Party, claiming the film is historically inaccurate and paints a negative picture of Communism. They may have a point–Cate Blanchett’s "Boris And Natasha" haircut was a little extreme…

- 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…

- There’s still no confirmation that Beyonce and rap mogul Jay-Z married over the weekend in his Manhattan apartment, but reports say they are negotiating the sale of their wedding photos which they plan to donate to charity. Fine, just as long as they’re not working on the release of a live DVD and making-of documentary…
- Madonna’s Michigan home town wants to honor her with a key to the city–only an effort to do it over twenty years ago was nixed by city officials because she was considered too contorversial. I guess being a married mom of two with three dozen Top Ten hits and a place in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame tamed her right down…
- Linkin Park has extended its fanclub-only presale of tickets for its Projekt Revolution tour until 5:00PM today, giving members of its Linkin Park Underground the chance to get tickets before the public as well as free of ticket agent service charges. Get details on tour dates and sign-up information on the band’s website…
- Final box office numbers for last weekend now show that George Clooney’s Leatherheads finished third instead of second, pushing Jodie Foster and Nim’s Island ahead of it into the number two spot behind Twenty-One. What will be really funny is hearing both of them act as if this means absolutely nothing to them…
