- Ratings for CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother got great ratings Monday night–likely due to Britney Spears’ guest-starring role on the show. Add to this the reports that she is no longer the hot paparazzi target she once was and you have to conclude that it finally must be nice to have a parent looking out for you who actually wants to protect you…
- Fall Out Boy’s attempt to perform on all 7 continents within a year was stymied yesterday when bad weather forced cancellation of all flights to Antarctica. They say they want to wait another day to see if they can make the trip from Chile, only they may end up having to impersonate some penguins to get there…
- Justin Timberlake is starring in the upcoming film The Open Road along with a couple of recent cast additons–veteran character actor Harry Dean Stanton and country singer Lyle Lovett, a favorite of the late legendary director Robert Altman. Lucky for JT–this way he won’t be the only one in the movie who’s actually been in a movie…
- It’s an American Idol world–at least on TV–as it again had the two most-watched shows last week. If this keeps up, Simon’s ego will be so immense that Paris Hilton will seem modest by comparison…
- A woman from Japan will pay $52,000 to attend the premiere of the Sex And The City movie and get a meet and greet with star Kristen Davis, with the auction proceeds going to the international relief and development organization Oxfam. The winner also gets a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes, so that price tag is really kind of a bargain…
- Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis believes a federal judge is out to get him because of the way Francis has been treated by the judge in civil suits brought against him. I certainly hope this isn’t true, because Americans have a right to a fair trial–no matter how perverted, sleazy and disgusting they are…

- It’s Britney Spears’ big night on TV, as she’s featured on the return of CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. I really hope this leads to other opportunities on the tube–there’s nothing like regular work that requires your clothes stay on…
- Fergie’s people continue to insist she is not pregnant, despite a recent photo of her that suggests the opposite might be true. So is it her Humps, or was she just being Clumsy?
- Justin Timberlake has donated 100 grand to a music museum and another 100 large to a music foundation, both in his hometown of Memphis. About his gifts, JT said, "Music education and keeping the legacy of Memphis music alive has always been important to me"…
- Mariah Carey tells Parade magazine that she has a boyfriend who she’s really happy with, but admits it’s been hard to find someone who cares about her and not the money or fame, adding, "sometimes you just do really feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it." Don’t forget the really short, low-cut dress…
- Pamela Anderson and her latest husband Rick Salomon (best known for being the other half of the infamous Paris Hilton sex video) apparently now both believe their marriage should be annuled. Pam obviously saw this scumbag for what he really was, and I guess he was disappointed she wasn’t up to his normal standards of skankiness…
- Jericho, the CBS series that was cancelled only to be resurrected due a huge fan reaction, has been given the ax a second and likely final time. i guess it’ll be the people in love with this show who’ll feel like they’re the only surviviors on the planet…

- Fall Out Boy will make history when it performs March 25 for a group of research scientists in Antarctica–they’ll become the only band to perform on all seven continents of the world in less than a years’ time. Exactly how many frequent-flyer miles is that exactly?
- Britney Spears’ "friend" and one-time manager Sam Lufti, who’s been ordered to legally keep his distance from her, is officially protesting the court commissioner presiding over Brit’s conservatorship case. Isn’t that like a wolf complaining to a rancher about the fence keeping him away from the sheep?
- An Australian man who impersonated Richie Sambora will go to prison for swindling banks there out of $25 millions in fraudulent loans. Bad luck for this bloke if his cellmate is a big Bon Jovi fan…
- American Idol again dominated TV ratings last week with both shows grabbing the top 2 spots, and reality TV holding 8 of the top 10 positions. The network suits and their bean-counters are laughing all the way to the bank–that once held their writers’ money…
- A new CBS reality series called Secret Talents Of The Stars will showcase the heretofore unknown abilities of D-list celebrites like George Takei of Star Trek fame, Malcom-Jamal Warner from The Cosby Show, Danny Bonaduce and Ben Stein. I think they all have the same skill–the ability to still find themselves on TV…
- Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the infamous "Kristen" linked to former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, was offered a million dollars to appear in the Girls Gone Wild tour and magazine–until the staff there discovered they already had plenty of wild and naked video of her from 5 years ago. Does this mean she won’t be able to exploit her degrading and illegal behavior into a shameless and degrading payday–isn’t that un-American?

- Not only was Dawn Wells of Gilligan’s Island fame spend a few days in jail in connection with a recdent marijuana possession charge, she’s been dropped as a spokesperson for the area Girl Scouts council. It certainly could have sent the wrong message, especially during cookie sale time.

- Britney Spears is returning to TV as a guest star on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Her dad has signed off on her appearing, as long as it isn’t a long-term committment and that Brit’s mom doesn’t try to work other daughter Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy into the story line…

- Billy Crystal will finally get his chance to live the life of a New York Yankee when he signs a one-day minor league contract with the Bronx Bombers so he can play in a spring training game tomorrow against the Pittsburgh Pirates. I hope he has fun, but I worry–at 60, Billy is just one screaming line drive away from a doubleheader with The Mick and The Babe…
- Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis’ daughter, has sued a tabloid over its report that she was fat due to an unhealthy appetite–Presley was in fact pregnant and was forced to go public with the news to refute the claims. She probably wanted it secret because ex Michael Jackon probably knokced her up with some kind of genetically-engineered delayed-effect sperm…
- Justin Timberlake’s introduction for Madonna at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame last night included an antecdote about her offering to give him a vitamin injection and directing him to "drop ‘em", followed by a comment about his "nice top shelf".
