- It appears that Beyonce and rap mogul Jay-Z are marrying, with a report that the pair took out a New York marriage license yesterday which is valid for 60 days. I guess that means his Big Pimpin’ days are over…
- Chris Brown has continued to deny that he and Rihanna are romantically involved, and now it’s her turn, telling MTV, "Me and Chris are really best, best friends….we are best friends, honestly, like brother and sister. If he was a boyfriend, I would say that." You know, this sounds like a husband, caught in the arms of another woman by his wife, saying, "Honey, this is not what it looks like…"
- Britney Spears has returned to her original manager–as in the one who first made her famous–for the first time in over a year. I guess Sam Lufti will have to go back to his old job–stalker…
- Singing and dancing topped TV ratings last week, as American Idol again grabbed the top two spots with Dancing With The Stars finishing third and fourth. Let’s face it–there’s nothing more satisfying than watching someone do something you could never hope to do, and then criticize the living hell out of it…
- Jay Leno took some heat for comments he made on The Tonight Show last week when he asked guest Ryan Phillippe, whose first acting role was as a gay teen on a soap opera, to give Leno his "gayest look"–something to which gay and lesbian advocacy groups objected. They probably would have preferred having the look directed at them…
- Veteran actor Maion Ross is probably best known for her years on Happy Days playing the squeaky-clean Mrs. Cunningham, but she says she’s delighted with her new gig–the spoof comedy Superhero Movie, where she plays someone with a very dirty mouth. For Mrs. C., that would have been someone who said, "Crap" a lot…

- Flo Rida’s smash Low has now spent 10 weeks at number one on Billboard’s Hot 100–longer than anyone since Beyonce’s Irreplaceable. In other words, Low is high…
- OneRepublic, who just wrapped up a tour, will be back on the road this spring with the Crocs Next Step Campus Tour. Check out the dates and places they’ll be performing on their official website…
- Madonna has gone on the record about the recent troubles of young celebrities like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, saying , "I do feel for them, but I think we’re all responsible for it as well. We buy the magazines. We are hungrily devouring all the information. So we all have to take responsibility for it." What’s the chance she considers herself royalty and now refers to herself as "we"?
- Paula Abdul shared some details about her new album with People magazine, saying it will include new versions of up to a half-dozen of her #1 songs plus 5 new tunes. For example, her hit Cold Hearted Snake will be given new lyrics all about Simon Cowell…
- Jack Nicholson has come out in support of Hillary Clinton in an Internet video featuring Jack in clips from several of his movies interspersed with graphics promoting Clinton’s strengths. Ofiicially, the Clinton campaign says they didn’t authorize the endorsement; unofficially, Hillary’s staff can’t get her away from the computer…
- Simon Cowell says he was offered $2 million to be the new face of Viagra but turned it down, calling it a "f***ing insult". I imagine anyone intimate with Simon saying the same thing…

- 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!"…
- Forbes Magazine’s out with a new money-related list–the Cash Queens Of Music, which is topped by Madonna and includes Shakira, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Hillary Duff, Avril Lavigne, Nelly Furtado and Fergie. 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…

- Amy Winehouse in rehab? Yes, yes, yes–her record company announced in a statement that "she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction and prepare for her planned appearance at the Grammy Awards." She’s got about as much a chance of showing up as the writers do…
- Portfolio magazine reports that Britney Spears could be her own economic stimulus package–I guess her various antics that get photographed and published, along with money she makes for record companies, tour promoters and products she markets adds up to $110-120 million. Who knew that behaving like a skank could save America from a recession?
- Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz claims that the new hit horror movie Cloverfield was based on an album by the band called Infinity On High. I’m inclined to believe that it’s Pete who’s high on infinity–or something else…
- Billboard magazine reports that Rihanna has scored seven Top 10 hits the past two years–more than Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, or anyone. She recently commented on fans sobbing with joy when they meet her–it’s now just as likely to be execs from her record company…
- Wal-Mart and iTunes are teaming up to release a series of CD’s featuring American Idol washouts, with an album including three songs each from Jon Peter Lewis, Ryan Starr, AJ Tabaldo and Stevie Scott out February 5, and another with Alaina Alexander, Rudy Cardenas, Patrick Hall and Gedeon McKinney coming March 4. How ironic is it that either one of these CD’s will probably outsell Taylor Hicks?
- The SAG Awards Sunday night on TNT and TBS will turn out to be the first awards show traditionally broadcast this year, since the writer’s union will permit their members to work on it and actors will be able to attend without crossing a picket line. And since there will also be a red carpet, Joan Rivers can get off unemployment…

- Britney Spears lost another custody battle in a hearing Wednesday that she arrived to attend, but changed her mind and left–wearing a short black cocktail dress and bright red lipstick. She knew something was amiss when the security guards didn’t frisk her the way she likes at clubs…
- Now that the Grammy Awards have been given a green light of sorts from the writer’s strike, the word from insiders is that Beyonce and Tina Turner will duet, Janet Jackson will not be performing and, according to a source with the show, "Britney is banned from the building." In other words, amazing, disappointing and relieved…
- For Rihanna, coping with stardom has its moments, like when she meets fans who are so overcome that they begin to cry and, "The more I hold them and try to console them, the more they cry." Lucky for her that they’re tears of joy–far different from when the public comes across Nick Nolte…
- Paula Abdul will be a part of the Super Bowl, performing her new song Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow–but it won’t be during the haltime show and it won’t be live. Maybe they’re worried she’d get hammered and then come on to Tom Petty…
- American Idol’s Jordin Sparks, who will be singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, actually grew up in Glendale, Arizona–site of the big game–and is planning a charity event a few days before with fellow Idol pals Sanjaya, Melinda Doolittle and Chris Richardson. I imagine several of the Patriots will show up–they’re always around when losers are performing…
- The Spice Girls reunion tour has certainly been successful–their run of 17 shows in London netted the group $100 million, or $20 million each. It’s so nice to see that the vapid bimbo industry is still flourishing…
