  • 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…

  • Britney Spears is seeing her children again, now that a visitation agreement was worked out with Kevin Federline–she’s had three visits with them the past week.  It’s wonderful–they’re back to calling her "Mommy" instead of "that no-underpants lady"…
  • NBC’s much-ballyhooed Internet seriess Quarterlife couldn’t even manage that–it’s been yanked from the schedule after just one episode.  You know you’re in trouble when there’s a bigger audience on the all-pottery channel…
  • Fall Out Boy has been hinting about a "special guest guitarist" featured on a cover of Michael Jackson’s Beat It included on their new live DVD out April 8, and gossip says that John Mayer’s the one who’ll do his own version of Eddie Van Halen–the axe-slinger on Jacko’s original version…
  • Taylor Swift is perfectly happy to be still living with her parents and family in Nashville, saying that she’s in no hurry to grow up, and that "I like watching my brother grow up when I can…I want to be there and witness whatever normalcy I can".  As we know all too well, "normal celebrity" is now an unfortunate oxymoron…
  • ABC has moved to renew five of its reality series:  Dancing With The Stars, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Supernanny, Wife Swap and America’s Funniest Home Videos.  There’s a lot of crying during these shows–mostly from displaced writers…
  • Nicole Ritchie has reportedly been offered the role of Roxie Hart in the current Broadway run of Chicago.  I had no idea Roxie was an anorexic, no-talent twit…

  • The Spice Girls may delay the end of their reunion tour to honor a request from former South Aftrican president Nelson Mandela to perform at a concert to mark his 90th birthday.  I certainly hope Mr. Mandela hasn’t confused them with another group called "Nice Girls"…
  • TV’s IFC released results of a survey to find out who has the biggest pair of cojones in showbiz, and Britney Spears and Simon Cowell were both in the Top 5, with Clay AikenRyan Seacrest, and Celine Dion among those needing some stones.  In Britney’s case, some folks may have mistaken some major marbles for a major meltdown…
  • Celebrity contestants for the upcoming Dancing With The Stars season include Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller, American Pie star Shannon Elizabeth, figure skater Kristie Yamaguchi, tennis great Monica Seles, Steve Guttenberg of Police Academy fame, and Elvis’ ex Priscilla Presley.  I’m a little disappointed that they couldn’t get any real stars–you know, like from the WWE
  • I guess you could say that Lindsay Lohan has emerged from rehab in New York Magazine, recreating one of Marilyn Monroe’s most famous photo shoots–completed just weeks before her death–with LiLo in a blonde wig and almost nothing else.  While the body is almost certainly a favorable comparison, the hair and everything under it is still a long way from Miss Norma Jean
  • An autism group is demanding an apology from CBS for comments made by a Big Brother contestant claiming to work for an auatism foundation who said he would spend his winnings on a salon for the developmentally disabled so, quote, "retards can get it together and get their hair done".  It’s just another reason that viewers faced with a choice of this show or color bars have to struggle…

  • A deal to end the 3 month-long writer’s strike has reportedly been struck, with an announcement of it possibly coming this week.  There are just a few details to work out, like how many union members get to beat the crap out of Jay Leno
  • Amy Winehouse was taken from rehab to the hospital due to dehydration she suffered while detoxing from alcohol and drugs.  She’s now back in rehab and according to her father, "She’s perfectly OK"–other than the whole addiction thing, her criminally moronic husband, and barfing her way into the ER…
  • Paula Abdul not only has a new song which premiered on the Super Bowl pregame show and a new album featuring it that will be out this summer, but she’s also anxious to compete on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars–the first she’s done either publicly since the mid-90’s. Before long, she’ll be giving Simon Cowell a whole new reason to criticize her…
  • Michael Jackson is back on the charts with a remake of Wanna Be Startin’ Something performed with Akon.  Jacko likely would love to relive other highlights from his Thriller album, but parents these days are a lot more cautious…
  • In the wake of countless security issues involving celebrities and the media, an LA city councilman is proposing an ordinance requiring paparazzi to stay at a minimum distance from celebrities, what he calls a "personal safety zone".  I believe this distance would be how far away they stay from Nick Nolte
