- OneRepublic continues to tour, despite an Achilles tendon injury suffered by lead singer Ryan Tedder that he’s managed to re-injure–which explains why he’s doing just about every song in their set from the piano. He said it’ll take at least six months before it’s finally healed, but he’ll be off crutches in 6 weeks or so…
- Madonna, who is screening her Malawi documentary I Am Because We Are at the Cannes Film Festival, told a news conference there that adopting her son David was as painful and difficult to her as childbirth. Or at least that painful and difficult for her attorney…
- Rapper Ludacris and ex-Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee set a world’s record in Las Vegas–for showering, which they did with several hundred friends in a 96-by-38-foot enclosure. I think the correct term for that is orgy…
- American Idol suffered lower-than-usual ratings all season, but the finale was a big success–they topped last season’s audience and helped Fox become TV’s most watched network this past season. Great–as if we need Simon’s ego to be any bigger…
- Tom Cruise is a tad peeved with an L.A. luxury baby boutique–he claims that they have been publicizing that he and wife Katie Holmes spent nearly 400 grand there for daughter Suri, and had attorneys issue a cease-and-desist order on the grounds they violated the couple’s privacy. He probably doesn’t want people thinking he’s a cheapskate…
- Denise Richards added more dirty details about her total falling-out with ex Charlie Sheen, claiming that Sheen has sent nasty text messages to her–including one that reportedly said, "I hope you and your worthless retarded father get cancer and join your stupid mom [who died of cancer]. Rot in hell you [bleeping] whore." All I can say is that at least one of them has a very active imagination…

- Mariah Carey must have had a pretty great weekend–the Empire State Building honored her by lighting the top of the skyscraper from Friday until last night in the color scheme of her new CD E=MC2. She said she’s, "blessed, excited and grateful to God"–probably because she was walking around in heels higher than the Observation Deck…
- Amy Winehouse spent Friday night in a London jail in connection with a pair of altercations outside a club earlier in the week, but she left early Saturday without being charged. I suppose at this point they’re just trying to cut down on the sheer paperwork generated by her thus far…
- British singers Natasha Bedingfield and Leona Lewis were named by London’s Sunday Times to their list of "Young Music Millionaires"–under-30 artists with a seven-figure net worth. Elton John was reportedly miffed for being left off this list, since he still acts like he’s 25…
- Miley Cyrus is apologizing to fans for a photo spread in an upcoming Vanity Fair in which she appears to be topless, saying, "seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed." The pictures were taken by legendary photographer Annie Liebowitz, so at least she can be tastefully embarrassed…
- Fox will be asking some American Idol fans for their reactions to proposed changes for the show next season, which is still beating everydody in the ratings but is falling short of the numbers it typically attains. It’s unlikely they’ll get to weigh in on anything really important—like having Simon appear in every episode dressed like a different barnyard animal…
- A number of celebrities are donating used baby items of theirs to an eBay auction beginning tomorrow that will benefit charities including The March Of Dimes and Save The Children. J-Lo was momentarily undecided about making a donation, since she couldn’t remember if she’d actually publicly admitted being pregnant…

- Janet Jackson was hospitalized with the flu and has canceled her appearance this weekend on Saturday Night Live. The show thus far has not announced a replacement–maybe they’ll just let cast member Keenan Thompson do his Janet impression…
- OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder is collaborating with Kelly Clarkson for her next album, which should be out later this year. Ryan is not only responsible for his bands’ hits Apologize and Stop And Stare, but has written for Jennifer Lopez and Natasha Bedingfield…
- Jon Bon Jovi and family have just moved into a duplex in Manhattan’s trendy SoHo district for the bargain price of just $24 million. So who says you can’t go home?
- Once again, it was all American Idol atop the TV ratings, as all three shows from last week once again finished 1,2, and 3. In fact, there were only two scripted shows–Fox’s New Amsterdam and Lost–that even made the Top Ten, which makes TV writing just about as secure a professtion as cliff divers…
- Dawn Wells–better known to the world as Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island–spent a few days in an Idaho jail for an October arrest for pot possession she claimed wasn’t hers. Take a look at her mug shot and tell me if you think she was maybe fibbing just a bit…
- A global language group says the line "Just call it, frend-o" from No Country For Old Men is the film phrase that has most influenced the English language–although it was only uttered in the film’s trailer and not in the movie itself. That may be true, but that characters’ cute Mary Lou Retton hairdo has most influenced the future of good grooming…

- OneRepublic’s huge hit Apologize is only the second song ever to sell 3 million downloads, and lead singer Ryan Tedder–who wrote the song–thinks its popularity is partly because the song keeps getting discovered by older generations…
- Jon Eardly, the attorney who claims he represents Britney Spears, says he won’t give up his effort to her conservatorship case to federal court–despite the court’s ruling that he is not her attorney. This guy needs to convince a judge that Britney isn’t too out of it to hire him to represent her–only every time he opens his mouth, he convinces anyone still listening of the opposite…
- Jessica Simpson is off to Kuwait soon to again perform for US troops stationed there. I’m sure she’ll sing her lungs off–exactly what every one of those guys there is praying for…
- A study has found that nearly half of American teenagers didn’t buy a CD last year–not a surprise when you learn that iTunes has passed Best Buy to become the #2 US music retailer. There’s probably kids who would look at one and wonder if it’s Blu-Ray…
- Whoopi Goldberg said she accepted the apology of Oscars show producer Gil Cates for leaving Whoopi out of a montage of past show hosts. I hear she was very gracious–didn’t call him "honkey" or "cracker" once…
- Jay Leno will be a very in-demand dude once he exits The Tonight Show as planned in 2009, with reports that ABC and Fox would like him to join their networks and Sony offering a nationally syndicated series to him. Why not–he’s very funny, incredibly popular, and apparently could care less about the feelings of his writers…

- Joel And Ethan Coen’s No Country For Old Men was the big winner at last night’s Academy Awards, scoring Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Javier Bardem, the creepy killer with the even creepier hairdo. Who knew this guy would give Dorothy Hamill a bad name?
- Britney Spears got to visit her children for the first time in over a month. It was largely due to the efforts of her father, who agreed to be present during their visitation–probably to discourage the kids from asking Mommy to play "ho" with them…
- Paramore had to go on the record that they are not breaking up and that lead singer Hayley Williams isn’t pregnant after fans read too much into a post on their website about cancelling their British tour due to "internal issues". In Hayley’s words, "We weren’t saying the band was over" and "For the record, my eggo is not preggo"…
- Rihanna’s native Barbados has named her the nation’s youth and cultural ambassador. Her mission–promote goodwill by shaking her booty…
- The FCC has fined 13 Fox network stations 7 grand apiece–$91,000 total–for airing risque scenes from the 2003 reality series Married In America. Considering the network makes that for about a second and a half of Super Bowl advertising, covering the fines shouldn’t be a problem…
- The New York Post says Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall is taking the credit for co-stars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon’s bigger paydays for their upcoming movie, since Cattrall claims her holdout for more money created a ripple effect that benefitted Davis and Nixon. In her characters’ case, it probably would have been more of a nipple effect…
