- Pink’s new CD Funhouse is in stores today (10/28/08), which is kind of an ironic title since much of it is about her split with husband Carey Hart. In fact, she originally wanted to call it Heartbreak is a Mother-Bleeper–maybe she thought it was too subtle…
- Idol winner David Cook has hooked up with iTunes to promote his new single Light On–users of iPhone or iTouch can buy an application that will make your device light up and then play Cook’s song. David says it’s a take-off on holding up your lighter during a concert, adding, "You get a lighter during a rock ballad, and nobody burns their thumbs."
  Ever since Brit tabloid The Sun published a dated photo of Katy Perry holding a knife next to a picture of a recently-stabbed teenager, it’s been a PR disaster for her–she took to her blog to call out the paper for trying to make her look like she condoned violence. Those comments apparently upset families of stabbing victims in the UK, who now want her removed as the host of the MTV Europe Awards November 7–held in the hometown of the pictured stabbing victim. And we thought her hit I Kissed A Girl would be controversial…- The Black Eyed Peas are close to finishing their new CD The E.N.D., only Will. I. Am. says it will never be finished–because he plans to constantly update it with new versions every few months. Some might consider that the view of a perfectionist–my ex would call it fear of committment…
- Amy Winehouse has returned to the news–and the hospital–with a report that she was admitted for tests on her chest and lungs "as a precaution", according to her spokesperson. Smart move–the public had almost forgotten about her…
  Dancing With The Stars is facing a whole different kind of elimination–yet another contestant has been forced to step away from the competition due to illness or injury, with Monday’s announcement that pro Julianne Hough not only has endometriosisW but will undergo an appendectomy today. Combined with the untimely departures of Olympic volleyballer Misty May-Treanor and Brooke Burke, these are either freakish coincidences, or the work of fellow contestant Cloris LeachmanW as evil Nurse Diesel from High AnxietyW…

- 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…

- Chris Daughtry has some harsh words for American Idol, which premieres tonight, saying that "It’s in a state of decline and if they don’t do something about it, it’s probably not gonna last too much longer." Of course, Chris did appear on the show–but perhaps not winning and yet becoming a huge star anyway may explain his attitude…
- In true form, Britney Spears skipped a child custody hearing yesterday that she wasn’t required to attend–and it may have been the cause, as some suggested, for the court to rule that ex Kevin Federline would retain custody of the pair’s two children. Her being there was probably pointless though, since she’s better off having a good mother than being one…
- It was confirmed that Justin Timberlake filmed a commercial for Pepsi that will air on the Super Bowl February 3. I hope he doesn’t mind that it’s probably the closest he’ll ever come to performing there again…
- The upcoming release of Thriller 25–a special golden anniversary edition of Michael Jackson’s breakthrough album–will feature a new version of Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’, sung by Akon and Black Eyed Peas’ Will I. Am. and mixed and co-produced by Jacko himself. I’m sure he’d love to be startin’ selling a few CD’s for a change…
- A new Harris poll of favorite TV stars has Ellen Degeneres beating perennial champ Oprah. Why? Ellen gives away cool stuff too, obviously loves dogs, and her ego can still fiti inside the average stadium…
- The Unit star Dennis Haysbert said recently that his role as a black president on 24 may have helped open the doors for Barack Obama’s candidacy. If it’s true, does Obama have to give Jack Bauer a job?
